C OMMUNICATIONS
Sewage Treatm�nt Facilities
A letter dated September 19th was received from John D. Keye,
M. D. , Health Officer, stating that conditions which exist at the
Redding Sewage Treatment Facilities constitute a public nuisance
as defined in Section 370 of the California Penal Code and that
maintenanc'e of the ponds in thei r p re s ent condition i s a mi s-
demeanor as declared in Section 372 of said Code. It further
stated that said letter was to be considered as "the reasonable
notice" prior to instituting abatement procedures.
��� Public Works Director Arness submitted a report dated
September 29th in which he outlined the problems which the ._.
City has encountered at the facilities and'the measures being
taken to combat these problems. He mentioned that the Mosquito
Abatement District has seeded the ponds with mosquito fish and
has sprayed for control of mosquitoes; insecticides have been
applied to reduce the gnats, and several methods have been
used to break up the algae scum which is causing the odor.
Meetings have been held with local and State health officials
and with rep re s entative s f rom the fi rm of Clai r A. Hill &
Associates who engineered the project. Dr. William Oswald,
an expert on algae from the University of California, will
come to Redding to inspect the ponds and the City's operating
procedures. Intensified sampling will be carried on, and the �
City is confident that the odor and insect problems will be
eliminated.
Clair Hill appeared before Council and made the following
general comments. Sewage ponds of this type are now coming
into fairly general use. At present they are being operated
successfully in Woodland, Chico, Davis, and Enterprise. Mr.
Hill indicated that the design criteria used on these ponds is
287
conservative and normally there has not been an odor problem;
however, in the areas mentioned these ponds were part of a
new sewer system so that the build up in the ponds was gradual,
� whereas in Redding there existed a fully operational sewer
system which was dumped into the ponds and this, together with
a very hot summer, probably is the cause of the odor, Mr.
. Hill said it is felt that the odor results from the bloom of dying
and decaying algae and that with the coming of. coole r weathe r
the re will be time to work out a pe rmanent s olution to the
problems of odor, gnats, and mosquitoes. .
Mr. George Gentry, District Represen,tative of the Bureau of
Sar�itary Engineering, State Health Department, commented that
the Bureau will do everything possible to assist the City in
solving the problems existing at the ponds.
Mrs. Eleanor Ball of 7521 Eastside Road, .Anderson, asked
Mr. Hill the proximity of the aforementioned ponds to homes
in the area, and Mr. Hill replied that the pond in Enterprise is
about 1/4 mile from the nearest home, but the ponds in Woodland,
Davis, and Chico are isolated.
Mrs. Ball, appearing on behalf of residents living in the area
adjacent to the ponds, submitted a map showing the proximity
of residences and trailer parks to the ponds and also read a
statement of complaints by people residing in the area. Said
statement is on file in the bffice of the City Clerk. She spoke
of the obnoxious odor, of gnats, mosquitoes; spiders, and
dragon flies caused by the ponds, stating that it appears that
Redding has transferred .its odor problem to these residents '
of Shasta County: She indica.ted that some of the .homes are
located less than 300 ft. from these ponds ,and that the value
of all of the property in the area is lower because of the ex-
i�stance of the ponds.;. Mrs. Ball pointed out that the homes in
the area �had been purchased rnany years before the .ponds were
established. She also referred to the rude treatment by some
City employees, names unknown, to persons who had complained
of the odor, etc. A petition of complaint signed by 51 residents
� was filed with the City Clerk, together with a list of questions
which the. proper owners would like answered, and a calendar
� for:'the month-of•September showing the times_�of day when the
,odor. was��rnost noticeable. �
Mrs. . Ball�also asked ifthe City has State discharge requirements
from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, and Mr. Arness
replied that the City has such requirements-on the old plant but
not on the new plant. Mrs. Ball then read a letter received from
Mr. Carnahan of the Regional Water Quality Control Board which --
stated that the Board does have authority over nuisance caused
� by. odo rs�:f rom a wa s:te di s cha rge such a s the City of Redding
ponds and that his office is preparing requirements f'or this
dischar.ge for Board aetion-at it's meeting in December 1967.
Mrs. Ball asked if the growth at the edge of the ponds. is algae
or if it was grass that will permit breeding of gnats and mos-
quitoes. This question will be answered�:in a report to be pre-
pa red by staff inembe rs along with the othe rs submitted in
w riting. �
,
288
Robert Lounsbury of the Regional Water Quality Control Board
stated that it is true that the City does not have State discharge
requirements on file. He also indicated that this has been
caused by an oversight on the part of the City of Redding, but
he admitted that the clause which requires public agencies to
notify the Board of any change in rate of discharge or change of
location was not included in the Cypress plant requirements. It
was established that there has been liaison between the City and
th e B oa rd, and rep re s e ntative s of the B oa rd we re awa re of thi s
change.
Mrs. Ball asked if it was the City's intent to put in additional
treatment facilities north of Metz Road, and if this would take
care of raw sewage. Mr. Arness said the Master Plan does
provide for such a facility to be constructed when the population
of Redding reaches 35, 000, and the function of the plant would
be to pre-treat waste. .
Mrs. Ball expressed the appreciation of the property owners
to the Shasta County Health Department, State Health Department,
the Mosquito Abatement District, and other officials who have
worked so faithfully and have tried to help the property owners
with their problems. She also thanked Council and said she
hopes to see the day when their property is joined with the City
of Redding.
Vice Mayor Chatfield thanked Mrs. Ball for her presentation
and assured her that the City would do all possible to correct
the problems.
Councilman Doherty apologized for the inconsiderate responses
from some sources in the City.
Richard Wallace of Happy Valley Road stated that his home is
located about 1/2 mile from the ponds and that they notice the
odor.
Leas e of City P rope rty •
A communication was received from Wendell Carpenter re-
questing a renewal of his lease on the Trisdale property,
south of Redding, for another two-year period. Mr. Carpente_r
" requests that his rent be lowered from $200 per month to $150
� /J� per month, inasmuch as some of the property included in the
v present lease is now being used in connection with the sewer
treatment facilities. It is the recommendation of the City
Manager, City Attorney, and Finance Director that the lease
should be renewed for a two-year period at the $150. per
month rate.

ATHENSAVENUE
Public Works Director Arne,ss reported that the plans for the construction
of Park Marina Drive, as approved by Council, show a closure of Athens
Avenue. However, circulation of a petition in favor of such closure failed

in a memo to Council dated September 28th, submitted th�ree courses of
action which might be taken; however, during the discussion it was deter-
mined that the matter should be referred to the Planning Commission prior
to any action by Council.

be notified of the Planning Commission Public Hearing and �could appear

PARK MARINA DRIVE EXTENSION_
Public Works Director Arness said he realized that the Council Committee
has no recommendation at this time re the Park Marina Drive extension;
however, he placed this matter on the Agenda because Mr. Wilson insisted
that he and his Associates wished to appear before Council.
✓�,��; ;4
Mr. Wilson said that members of Staff had made "a counter-proposal which
was not acc,eptable to him and his Associates. He said they could not see
their way clear to deeding the land to the City at no cost for the purpose of
extending Park Marina Dirve; that $15, 000 an acre is a bare minimum cost
item and that they are losing from $35, 000 to $70, 000 if they sell to the
City at the $15, 000 figure. He stressed the fact that it is necessary for them
to know the City's position in order that their proposed facility can be located
on the p rope rty.
It was decided to schedule a meeting between Messrs.. �Wilson, Curto, and
Kennicott and the Council Committee to be held sometime Friday, October 6th.
Mr. Curto remarked that if it was the opinion of Council not to accept their
proposal, there was no use in continuing negotiations.
Vice-Mayor Chatfield said that Council has reached no decision 'in this
matte r.

� � During a discussion of this item Councilman Fulton indicated concern
� that an inadequate beacon had been purchased originally. Mr. McCall
said that FAA had recommended the DCB-10 beacon but that it just did
not provide.adequate lighting, Vice-Mayor Chatfield said he feels there
is a need for a larger and more powerful beacon because the lights of
the surrounding area are confusing to pilots.

There was a discussion_as to the necessity of covering the area with
� � � asphalt at this time and it was indicated that if the area were not
asphalted there would be erosion. Councilman Denny said he feels there
