Storm Water .Darna�ze .- Parkview Ditch M`r. Joseph Redmon;requested permission to address Gity, Council re storm water damage caused by storm waters backed up:at_.the ACID Canal siphon in December, 1964. Mr. Redmon represents 20 home owners and residents who live in the,�vicinity of the Parkview Ditch, ACID Canal and the siphon which :carrie.s storm water to,the river. , ., _ Mr. Redmon read to Council an article which:ap,pea.red in_ the Record Searchlight on January 20, 1954. This article stated "Flash:flood threats to homes .riear the Ariderson-Cottonwood irrigation canal and / �� � the city storm channel south of Redding may soon be lessened by � J� joint action of'the city council and the AC.ID Bbard of Directors. " , The article went on to outline the cost of correcting the cause of the flooding conditions which was set between $50, 000 and $100, 000. Mr. Redmon presented,this -article to illus.trate that since ..1..953 there have been .four ser.ious floods �-- 1955, 1959, 1962: and 1,9�64. He .-: said that the persons liVing in _this area.have been waiting for 11 y.ears for a solution _to this problem; that flooding conditions affect everyone in the Parkview Ditch area. These p�ople are not able to get flood ._ insurance and they look .to the City for help. Mr. Redmon said he feels the City should not only. pr,o,vide police and fire protection�but also adequate sewer and stor.m drainage facilities. He further stated that, although some elaims for damage w'ill be filed because these, people are not able to r.eplace and rebuild the losses.,:incurred:by:the latest flooding,, the peopl.e he represents mainly want a solution to their problem rather..than�repar.atione Mr. Redmon stated his clients want action; if money isntt available to correct.the situation, it. should go to a bond issue. . . Mr. Redm.on said it was .his understanding that Counci l had:budgeted money for increased siphon capacity and asked why nothing had been done. Mr. Cowden said that.$6500 had been. allocated for a_new siphon which.the ACID was .to install but they have suffered s.evere bank damage and dontt have.the funds or manpower to do the install= ation. He further stated..that.the new siphon would not be the complete answer to the flooding groblem as it would transfer the problem from west of the canal to east of the canal. Mr. Cowden .said that correct- ing all sto'rm drainage pxoblems. in the City could ruri into the . millions. . . . . Councilman Chatfield said it is importarit to•_realize that this area . isn�t the only one in the City of Redding where storm drainage problems exist; .there are many areas so affected and eventually they will have to be corrected in�all areas. Councilman .Chatfield asked Mr.� Redmon i�f the ACID had been approached on this inatter or if he intended to do so. Mr. Redmon stated that he does intend. to go to the ACID but the �people look to the:City of Redding for help. When asked if his clients were in the ACID district, Mr. Redmon said they were.

City Manager Cowden submitted _his report which contained the following background in£ormation relative to automatic crossing gates; ''The'pro- ��• posed crossings would be located at Shasta, Tehama, Yuba, Placer, and Soath Streets. The �total- cost�of installation of�the autorriatic gate.s=would. be approximately $112, 000, one half of such cost to be borne by the Southern Pacific Company and one half by the City of Redding. The Southe rn Pacific Company would��pay�a�11� gate°maintenance costs•.after:'installatiori� is�c'ompleted.

It was agreed that this would be furnislied at:an early date. The Southern Pacific Company estimates they will spend $20, 000 in up- grading crossings; 'i'n add�itiori to' the ainount specified for�automatic c'ross- ing gates.

King s:aid�that although for tlie £:oreseeable future a speed of 45 m.iles an hour� would, be agreeable, his Co`xnpariy would prefer that no definite speed limit be set forth. It was pointed out that the speed limit is now set a.t 25 MPH by. Ordinance and if the present Ordinance is amended to increase the speed limit, it would be necessary to specify in the Ordinance what the new speed limit is. Mr. King was assurred that this did not mean that the Ordinance could not be amended at a future date if a chanDe in the speed limit we.re desired by the Southern Pacific. It, ' ' would be a matter to negotiate just as is being done now. Mr. King agreed that this would be satisfactory. 31 � � _ Mr. Jerue presented the following figures from a ten-year study of 36 crossings in Los Angeles made by the P. U.
