Grange Hall Danc�,s. -. Complaints re
A.ttorney Richard A sbill appeared on behalf of a group of citizens who
reside in the vicinity of the Grange Hall and presented fifteen individual
letters of protest re the dances being held at the Grange Hall. Said
_ . letters are on file in the office of the City Clerk. Mr, Asbill read two
,� :of the lette:rs .which indicated that the same conditions exist at present
which existed prior to the 90 day probationery period; i, e�_, e�cessive
noise, depositing of trash on private property, hot rodding, etc.
Attorney Frank Shuman also submitted a letter (by mail) protesting
the continuance of the dances, on behalf of his clients Mr, and Mrs.
Frank Farnea, who have rental property in the area. � _ _ .
��l � Byron Engle, President of Senior Citizens of Shasta County, said he
hoped some. consideration would be given to allowing their group to
. co.ntinue to l�old dances at the Grange Hall, in the event curtailment
of all dances is contemplated. Mrs. Nachreiner (one of the resident
_ , protestors) said the Senior Citizen dances were not considered public
' dances and there was no objection to them.
Mayor Moty recommended that the �Committee appointed on April 19th
meet to re-examine the situation and report back tQ Council with some
recommended course of action. He suggested that Counsel for the
, , Grange (A..ttorney Halpin) and Counsel .for the residents of the area
(A..ttorney A.sbill) attend this meeting. The�Committee is composed
of Councilmen Doherty and Fulton, City Manager Cowden, City Attorney
Murphy., and P_olice Chief Lincecum._ _
Riverside Drive Widening
Residents on Riverside Drive, between 1VIarket and California Streets,
have requested that the� street remain in its present condition unless
the widening can be accomplished by new construction on the north
_ side of the street. This informa.tion was contained in a letter submitted
by A.ttorney Daniel Carlt,on on behalf of his clients and also refers to
the City taking part of the frontage of their respective properties for
the proposed widening._of Riverside D�ive.
Councilman Chatfield and Mayor Moty feel the proposed change of this
portion of Rive,rside Drive from the one-way street pattern to two way
/-�,�� should be dropped in view of the prote.sts of,property owners and inas-
much as the cost of widening the street from the, north is considered to
be exce s sive.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by Mayor Moty
that the proposed widening of Riyerside D.rive be.tween Market and
California Streets and, conversion to a two-way street be dropped.
Councilman Denny believes further consideration and study should be
given the matter, particularly the effect of present traffic upon
businesses located on the southwest corner of Market Street and
Riverside Drive. Mr, Denny stated that acce,ss;to these businesses
is difficult except for southbound traffic. He further stated he did not
, �understand it would be necessary to acquire private property for the
proposed widening. �
205
Public Works Director A..rness .advised Council the only property
it would be necessary to acquire from property owners would be
approximatel.y 15': for rounding the southeast corner of Riverside
Drive and California Street. It is prop,osed to have_two 11' lanes
. on Riverside Driye between Market and 'California Street and this
would be accomplished by elixr�.iriating the existing strip between
the sidewalk and the street on the sQuth side of Riversid.e Drive
and by narrowing the sidewalk.
Councilman Doherty said he did not know all of the background in
this matter but believed the decision should be delayed until the
Director of Public Works has an opportunity to contact the property
owners and determine if their objection to this wide�ning is because
they feel it will_ involve.taking part of the frontage of their respec-
, tive prope rtie s. , �
MOTION: Made by Councilman Doherty, seconded by Councilman
Denny that the Director of Public ��Ve be instructed to contact
the property owners on Rive:rside/re the proposed widening, and
this matter be tabled until the meeting of September 7th_.

AUDITORIUM-CONVENTION HA.LL
Mayor Moty reported on�the Committee Meeting held with Mitchell Van
Bourg and Richard Smart, architects for the proposed Auditorium-
Convention Hall. The architects have iridicated they can design an
adequate facility to.fall within the $1, 800, 000 budget figure. Mayor Moty
feels the proposal, as outlined in their letter of A.ugust'13th, is a good
one_tliat will.serve the.` City of Redding and is one that he can support, �
Bob Dicker, Chairman of the A..uditorium-Convention Hall Commi.ttee of
the Chamber of Commerce said it is hoped that Council will place a
$1, 800, 000 bond issue for this auditorium before the people on November
16th of this year, It..was.brought out that the proposed auditorium will
provide for future expansion without going to a separate building.
�j -�!�
"1_°� Councilman Fulton asked if the $1, 800, 000 figure includes a kitchen
facility 'and -was.told that this has not yet .been resolved but it has been
suggested tha�t perhaps a kitchen area could be.provided with roughed in
plumbin�g and wiring. � .
Councilman Doherty asked-whether the question of location of the.auditor-
ium would be on the ballot and City A.ttorney Murphy advised that the location
would not be an issue on the ballot -- the site.would be chosen prior to the
eleetion. Council will _amake _the decision as to where the auditorium is
to be built and it is hoped a. determination will be made by Octo.ber 31st.
� In answer to an inquiry, Mr. Smart advised it will take a minimum of two
years to complete the facility after the bond issue passes. This will allow
8 months to complete drawings and 16 months.for actual construction.
There was considerable discussion as to what facilities would be in-
cluded in the $1, 800, 000 proposal; i. e. , whether it would be necessary
to request more money later to ��-:�vide additional parking, etc. Council-
man Chatfield believes it should�be spelled out just what the people can
expect for the budgeted amount and, if such amount does not allow for
contingencies and for adequate �arking, etc. , this should be made clear.
Mayor Moty pointed out that only $1, 450, 000 is for actual construction
cost with the remaining money going for fees, parking lot, furnishings, etc.
211
Councilman Doherty raised the question of where the money would come
from to redeem the bonds and for maintenance'arid upkeep; 'ancl�Maydr
IVloty said'lie believes� the City''can pay for tliis"facility. " Bob' I'Dicker �
advis�d that the City sales tax was originally s'cheduled' to provide for
maintenance and upkeep of an auditorium-convention hall complex.
. � . .�
City Attorriey'Murphy said he had been in contact with' Bond Counsel
Orrick, Dahlquist, Herrington, and Sutcliffe and was advised that they
would handle the bond issue election at a fee of $3600 if the bond issue
is successful' and a fee of $750 if the bond issue does not pass. If
Council is in accord with scheduling a bond''issue'election, the action
would be to authorize the immediate employment of ODH&S and they
would prepare a Resolution of Intention and an Ordinance for first
reading at an adjourned meeting on August 23rd. Mr. Murphy 'advised
if this authority were giveri toniglit, Bond Counse�l coul.d have the ballot
ready for ari electiori on November� 16th. � `

1500 BI,OCK CALIFORNIA STREET PARKING LOT
� Traffic Engineer Freeman submitted the. final plans as recommended by the
Traffic and Parking Commission for the 1500 block parking lot on California
Street, which include two greenery areas located 'at the 'north and south ends
of said lot, as indicated on the plan of the proposed parking lot as submitted
by Traffic Engineer Freeman. ' `
- - . ., _ � _� /✓-�
Mayor Moty said it is recommended'that only one such facility be located
on the parking lot and that it be on the north end. The reasoning behind
this is that there will be a park less than a half block from the Yuba Street
side of the parking lot (on the site of the Carnegie Library Building) and
therefore. a rest area on the south side of the parking lot is not really necessary.
Each of the rest areas takes up over $20, 000 worth of land (four parking spaces
valued at $5, 000 each). - - � � --
MOTION: Made by Councilrnari Denny, seconded by Councilmari Fulton
that the final plans for the 1500 block parking lot on California Street as
submitted by the Traffic and Parking Commission be approved with the
exception that the� proposed rest area at the �south end be elirni�nated and
replaced by parking areas., and the development of the rest area at the
