APPROVAL OF MINUTES � - �� MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Fulton that the minutes of the regular meeting of September 18, 19.67 be approv.ed as mailed to each Councilman. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 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.
