In reviewing this report -Mr. Denny indicated that it was the belief of the Committee that entering into an extraterritorial fire service agreement of a type and nature not includable within mutual. aid agreements would establish a precedent and, therefore, the prin- ciples involved should be considered and a policy established. The Committee developed three principles and, in accordance with these principles, recommends that supplemental fire protection to Shasta College Stillwater Campus be provided by means of a contract between the City and Shasta County, and Shasta County in turn to enter into a contract with the Shasta Joint Junior College District. , It is further I� recommended that the charges for such fire protection service be a.s follows: $300. 00 monthly standby charge 250. 00 charge for each response to Stillwater Campus 150. 00 per hour charge for each additional hour or portion thereof of fire fighting, in excess of the first hour of each response In a discussion of this matter Vice -Mayor Chatfield expressed concern about the long and high-speed runs of the fire equipment in responding to call to Stillwater Campus.

School, and he recommends that Mr. Eastlund be authorized to install such corrugated pipe in that location after the plans have been approved by the Director of Public Works for adequacy of design and necessary connections. There was considerable :discussion concerning the advisability of allowing Mr. Eastlund to proceed with the corrugated metal pipe, inasmuch as the construction standards require concrete pipe, but it was pointed out that not only had Mr. Eastlund made his request prior to the establishment of the construction standards but also the use of the property is such that.the corrugated metal pipe will be adequate.

He commented that both Safeway and the Ponderosa need concrete box culvert because of the use of the property; however, there will be 272 only light traffic over the portion of Calaboose Creek he proposes to enclose, and should the use change he would remove the corrugated - metal pipe and install concrete box culvert.
