Messrs. Lou Gerard, Sr. , Olando Tognozzi, Jim Curry, and Mrs. Liz Reginato. Mr. Miles then gave a detailed oral report, accompanied by a graphic chart, which summarized all of the factors taken into consideration in the selection of . a site for the proposed auditorium-convention hall. Mr. Miles said the Committee determined there were no other sites available in a suitable ,/��� location that would equal or surpass several of the four listed sites pro- posed to.them by Council. All of the information in the oral report�is con- tained in the written report submitted by the Committee dated October 4, 1965, and such report is made a �art of these minutes by reference. It was the unanimous recommendation of the Committee that the Turtle Bay area should be the choice for the site for the .future auditorium- convention hall facility. Mr. Blayney of the consulting firm of Livingston and Blayney advised Council he is in full accord with the recommendation of the Committee; that the construction of the� auditorium at this location will create an image upon entering Redding. Also, he believes it is better to utilize unused .space; rather than an area where it would be necessa�ry to replace existing facilities, Mr. Blayney commended Council for the material _ they were given to work with in making this site selection, and commended the Committee for their thoroughness in this project. . • Mr. Dicker, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. A.uditorium Committee asked if the acquisition of land in the Turtle Bay area would have any bearing on the bond issue and was assured it would not. Mayor Moty said that Council intends.,to pass a resolution as soon_as possible prior to the bond election �setting forth specifi.c information outlining the.expenseslthat will be involved,. in addition:to those included.in the $1. 8•bond.issue. . Messrs.�� Carl Williams and Joe A.leck:said they were disappointed with the selection and requested Council to delay in making a final decision on.the selection of the site .until the Chamber group and othe.r.s had a chance to study it. Mayor Moty said time was of the essence and if the public were to be fully advised of all the pertinent data re the auditorium prior to the November 16th election it would be necessary to select the site immed- iately. Mr. Moty commented that the elector.ate would be given an opportunity to express their views on the site selection at the election. Mr. Greenleaf, President .of_the Redding Chambe.r of Commerce said he feels the site.was selected by a-.,well balanced committee following a charge given to it by the City Council and that people should not let disappointment re the chosen site overshadow their wishes for a civic auditorium. A.fter consi�derable discussion, each member of the Council was polled as to his views. o n the choice: made, by the �Committee and all were .in accord that the Turtle Bay area is the best site for the auditorium. , Councilman Denny said he:does not favor. purchasing the Kutras property but presumes the Benton property is adequate for:the :auditorium and necessary parking, and then the Kutras proper.ty could�.be developed by private industry for motels, etc. 252 MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Doherty that the recommendation of the A.uditorium Site Selection Committee be approved and the site for the proposed auditorium-convention hall shall be the Turtle Bay area.

It is the Committee's recommendation that the eight tennis courts. be constructed with the Redding Elementary School District and the City of. Redding sharing the construction cost on a 50-50 basis,. after deduction of any donations, etc. , and that no lighting be provided at this time. The recommendation also suggests that an agreement be entered into between the City of Redding and the Redding Elementary ���� School District to cover maintenance and opCration of the courts,. etc. � '' There:was considerable discussion as to the advisability of constructing the tennis courts at the Sequoia School vs. South City Park. Mrs. Francesca Frier, President of the Redding Tennis Booster Club said consideration had been given to having the courts at South City Park but there were three disadvantages; i, e. , (1) foot traffic to South City Park is dangerous; (2) there is poor drainage;. and (3.) the Ci:ty needs the greenery aspect rather than asphalt tennis cou.rts in this area. Mrs. Frier also said the area at the sequoia School offers good protection from wind. MOTION: Made by Councilman Doherty, seconded by Councilman . Chatfield that the recommendation of the Council Committee re tennis courts at Sequoia School be approved as outlined above and the City A.ttorney be instructed to prepare the necessary document.
