Planning Director Keyes gave a brief summary of the action
of the Redding.,�Rede�elopment Agency on this iss_ue; i.e. ,
173
adoption of Redevelopinent Agency Resolution RRA66-1 re
Federal Assistance for powntown Rehabilitation which
states that the downtown area appears, in the opinion of
representatives of the Urban Renewal Administration in
San Francisco, to be in need of rehabilitation studies.
Mr. Keyes explained that if Council wishes to proceed ,
with a study, an application for a grant for a survey
and planning study should be made as soon as possible
in order that approximately $500,p00 previously expended
by Redding for downtown parking lots could be used as
a credit toward a future project. If the grant is
approved, the City would proceed with a survey and
planning study and, at its conclusion, would determine
whether or not it should go ahead with a project.
If Council decides not to proceed with a project the
money advanced by the Urban Renewal Administration
for the survey and planning phase does not have to be
repaid. If Council decides to go ahead with a
project, the survey and planning study money advanced
becomes ,part of the total project cost of which the
City pays 25% and, the_ Federal Government pays 75%.
Robert Dicker of Dickers Department Store and George
Greenleaf, Presid.ent of the Greater Redding Chamber
of Commerce appeared before _Council and endorsed the
proposed study. Mr. Dicker emphasized that the study
would not necessarily be for a mall, but for a study
of downtown problems and possibilities.
Frank Wilson said he did not oppose the study but did not
feel it should come under the Redevelopment Agency.
It appears to him that the downtown property owners
would be :subsidized and the outlying property owners
penalized. . . �
City Manager Cowden commented on the��Redevelopment
Agency and stated that this study does not preclude
Urban Redevelopment ..Agency studies in other areas
either concurrently .or later. It was �broug.ht out
that credit for certain downtown parking lots can
possibly qualify for application in other areas once
the._credit-:is "'establis.hecl: and�:.if�:.all the credit is
not used in downtown rehabilitation. :
- ,+ .
MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman
Doherty _in-structing the Redding Redeveloprnent Agency -and
staff to "prepare a Survey and Planning Application for
rehabilitation studies of the downtown area. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes.
Councilman Chatfield said he felt a review of the .
application should be made by Council upon its
completion.

CI VI C AUDITORIUM r"� �
Councilman Denny requested that Mr. Richard Smart be permitted to •
make the presentation re letting of bids for the auditorium
seating system.�
Mr. Smart stated the architects feel it advisable to advertise
for bids on the auditorium seating system at this time in order
to confirm costs and delivery dates and to obtain"°detailed
shop drawings. It is necessary for the architects to know the
type of seating to ,be installed in order to proceed with the
basic construction plans. Mr. Smart submitted to Council the
,, Instructions to Bidders which included the Notice to Bidders
J�j;� and Proposal. The bid opening is set for August 15th.
City Manager Cowden said _it is his understanding that wherever
you have an EDA grant pending you' cannot cominit yourself for
any expenditure for any portion of the grant. If' such a
commit�zent .: is made, that portion cannot be included in the
grant. Mr. Cowden was- instructed to determine whether a
conditional bid will jeopardize the City' s pending EDA grant.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, secorided by Councilman
Chatfield that the architects be authorized to advertise for
seating bids for the auditorium with the understanding that the

EMPLOYER - EMPLOYEE RELATIONS - Resolution No. 3683
Maurice Finn appeared before Council and requested two more public
hearings on Resolution No. 3683 re employer-employee relations.
Mr. Finn stated that there would be a national union boycott
of the Civic Auditorium if Council refuses to amend the �
resolution and reiterated the objections of his union to
said resolution. -..- .
Councilman Doherty asked Mr. Finn the specific objections of
union to the resolution, and Mr. Finn replied that the union
objects to the section which prohibits police officers from
joining a labor union u�less it i:s composed solely of peace
officers and to the section which prohibits picketing,
demonstrating, or striking where work stopgages are. involved.
Councilman Chatfield pointed out in support of the clause
,-.
about the police officers, that plumbers .joined .the plumbers
union, electricians joined electricians .unions, -etc. , and asked . -:--- -
what was so different about having police officers join an
organization composed solely of police officers.
Mr. Chatfield then stated that the .'_no strike"- cl"ause does
h,��'�- not apply to the workers -- it applies to the representatives
L of the unions. It states that the Union recognizes� that no
person, etc. , has the right to impede or halt a performance �
of the functions of government Y�y strikes or picketing.
Councilman Doherty said he would like to consider the matter
further before agreeing to a public hearing.. . - , � �
Councilman Denny. said he did not .think a. hearing .woul�d be a
valid method .of deciding the issue. �If Council .feels it cannot
be sure that it has made the correct decision, he would hope
that a cross section of the opinion of the people would. be
obtained. If he could be assured that. .Council could avail
themselves of a reliable .sampling of public opinion on this
matter, he would be influenced by such a survey.
Councilman Doherty agreed to an informal -balloting procedure.
Councilman Fulton suggested accomplishing this by printing a
ballot in the paper .and requesting that the people mail in
the ballots.
Councilman Chatfield said he wanted to do what the people of
Redding want to have done, -but he -is concerned about the. boycott
of the auditorium. I�f Gouncil capitulates on this issue, he
wonders if the union will use a boycott at a later date for
other demands when they are not met.. �
Mayor Moty asked Mr. Finn if a straw vote were taken and if a
reasonable -percentage of returns were >received, ..and if this vote
showed support of Council `s decision .on .this resolution, would
his people then be willing to accept this- as the desire of the
people of Redding and forget the boycott.
Mr. Finn said "NO" the people of Redding do not speak for the
members of his -union.
Councilman Chatfield said that if he understood Mr. Finn
correctly, the union would completely disregard the vote or
the outcome of the public hearings and would proceed with the
boycott unless Council modified the Resolution.
177
Mr. Finn confirmed this but stated that he felt sure that if the
public hearings were held there would be little or no support
of the Resolution as it is now written.
MOTI��: Made by Councilman Doherty, seconded by Councilman
Fulton directing the Maybr, with the assistance of staff, to
prepare an impartial straw ballot to be sent to the registered
voters in�the Gity of Red"ding, and the pro and con arguments
to be prepared by the Mayor and a representative of the labor
council, respectively, and the results shall not be considered
representative unless there is at least a 60/ response to the
mail out. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes. ,. . . . ._.
