REPORT - Water Service Outside City , . , , Planning Director Keyes submitted a s,ix page report on Water 5ervice - Outside City, dated March 31�, 1964. Conclusions and recommendations (Page #2 of Report) are as follows: , , 1. Present policies should be continued unchanged. Outside water should be provided in cases of demonstrated emergencies and in cases where the �j`� City is directly or indirectly benefitted. Partial recoveries, of City construction costs`would not, c.onstitute sufficient direct or indirect� benefit unless�annex�.tion�is�assured. ` . , . 2. Grant of outside water service in an emergency situation should be made subject to the following conditions. It should be by agreement on a � ., ; temporary basis with the City reserving the right to terminate the ser- vice on 60. day,writte.n, notice�._ � � � . _ � . , _ � 3. Grant of outside water service u,nder an.agreement to annex should contain _ � a similar provision _for.termination. ,�However, provision of water in , advance of a,nne xation is not in th_e. C.ityts best interest because it�would have the pracfical e�ffect of diminishing the efforts of the proponerits to encourage annexation. � � � � ,4. ,Water service should not be granted even where a line exists and�the � ,pro;perty owner is willing to� sign an agreement to annex, if an inhabited � type of annexation�is_ necessary.� � � 90 5. Water service should not be granted, where a line exists anel an over= whelming majority of property owners �have signed a p"etition requesting an uninhabited annexation, until the protest hearirig lias been helc3 and ' the percentage of protests have been verified. 6. "Shoe-string" services (i. e. , 3/4 inch or 1 inch lines extending from a , main or lateral) are not in th� best interest of the City or in the long range interest of the specific� property de's'ired to be' served. - ' 7. As a general rule, the City should not offer water service within a special district. Offers to supply City water within a Water District, or a Co�muiai,ty Service District, upon assurance of annexation, should be made only after c�reful study and discussion of the various alter- natives with the property owners and District management. 8: Present policies concerning costs� of water service,' responsibilities -'� ' ' 'for'construction of laterals, ete.�, 'as 'now contained in Code SeCtion �j 29-14 should'remain unchanged at the present time. Planning Director Keyes stated the City. Attorney had advised if the City enters into an agreement to serve water before annexation, if a clause .was.added that water once granted could be discontinued after sixty days, it is enforceable. ` Councilmen C.oncurred with the recommendations of the Planning Director' and staff, that' City should riot grant water service outs'ide their boundaries, except.in a few instances and these exceptions would have to assure City of annexation, however council did not need to take any actiori other than confirrri policy. now in existence. That'thie r'epo'rt was 'a very'useful 'instrunient.

'Sample should 'take it fr'om there. City. Attorney.Murphy urged Council to take no action to serve water outside the City this�evenirig: � That while the constitution of the State of California app'ears in plain langua'ge to grant the right to cities�to serve water beyond its' boundaries, in cases he has researched, in each in'stance it would appear the court makes findings that service beyond the city limits had a direct benefit to the citizens within the city limits. That he could not advise at this time that City has the 91 unconditional right to serve-water beyond its boundaries. Councilman Chatfield stresse3 that these people have shown the.ir willingness to annex under the uninhabited act and it was far clieaper to annex under the unin- habited.procedure.� � I`t was his recommeridation water be-servecl uncler these conditions. � City Attorney Murphy askec� Mr. Chatfield if lie �would condition his recommendation the Local Agency Formation Commission approve any uninhabited annexation before water service is made. .

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes. . _ RE PROPOSED ABANDONMENT PARK LAND � At.the request of:Councilman Chatfield,. the City Clerk_ read a letter from Gordon Hummel, _President of,the.�Greater .Redding .Chamb�r of Commerce, _ regarding the possible abandonment of South City Park and Tiger Field. A resolution of the,Board of,Directors of the Chamber was .�.�so read, in:whicn they, oppose the.,�res.oluti.on,of, the City Council,to abandon the park from public� , use to commercial enter,prise at this time, and feel that the Council has nor yet undertaken adequate master planning related to future manicipal require- ments to justify such an abandonment. _;. _ . _. �... . . � . .: . a - The resolution is concluded as follows: "While the Board of Dir.ectors .is in . _. , - � , accord that the subject area is, not; appropriate for purposes of playgrounds or ball parks, the Chamber believes that additional planning_is necessary.for poss:- ible future uses. " Councilman Chatfield then made the following statements: _ _ _ . _ "I believe the,City is deser�ing ,of its .criticism regarding the lack of : master planning, but we have hired an additional plan�er to� correct this as soon as possible. In the meantime it does not_seem reasonable that we should say there can be no development in our rapidly growing city until this is accomplished, B.y_this line, of rea,soning we ,should_not have acquired additional parking lots and we should not acquire additional park land and should do nothing on many other projects.; ��� L , - . The last re,sort,on an.issue is to confuse it, and the resolution�of the_. - ,Chamber of Commer.ce has.certainly confused me., ' The Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce over a year ago approved the purchase of Turtle Bay area and.passed a resolution recom- . �. . ._. mending that we purchase it. March 4, 1963, the Council authorized the negotiations for the land but due to highway acquisitions ;could do nothing about the purchas e. We are still negotiating with the owners, but due to the drain on our treasu.ry_by parking.lot pur.chases we have been unable to determine a financing arrangement which will satisfy both the city and the owners. Now the.,Chamber,_camments they do not approve the acquisition of Turtle Bay without a master plan. .,Detailed�master planning for a park is usually academic; the uses for it are obvious, it is a matter 9 of arrangement. , � _ , ,. _ _ , . , � , ,,. The,Chamb,ex Board agreed. the Magnin idea wa_s good when first approached by Councilman Kriegsman. Now they recommend against the use of th� land for commercial endeavors,. alth�ough the,land is zoned this way. _ � . . � ., _ _ �_, . . ; As the Winmar.-Magnin development is apparently definitely out according _to their letter, I think we should point out what ,this property can and can�t , doe . ..., � - _:. . . . . .: , .. .. , _ . .., , It can support financially a parks program of a large magnitude, by . ; financing Turtle Bay. . t� ' , � . . ..., _.. . . ; „ � . :� _ , . It,can proyide a:strong, point to bolster the downtown,core area, making our,shoppi�ng area_attractive to a lar,ger ,shopping.public, if properiy develop- ed. , � . It can not ,continue to accommodate our. community needs for active, organize.d r,ecr,eation... ,It._is unreasonable.to suggest that City Hall should be built on property valued at $500, 000. 00. ; 95 Our architectural advisors claim we need 15 to 20 acres for an ; auditori�.m ,- if the au,ditbrium is placed at this location, the adjacent area (softball park) will have to go for�parking, I am de_finitely against that: . ; . . _ �It is not part of,a 70 acre tract, because the .70 acre tract is_in fact non- - existent. It is severed in tliree places with�three par,ce�l=s-under lease or in•othe'r o�wnership. . _. : ..: ,• : , . � . - , , , . . .. ..S ,. . . . ,. . �� � . . , 'R .. _ _, ._ I am concerned b.ecaus� if Enterpris:e�.:annexes and the ,park abandonment fails, we may very well miss acquiring the Turtle Bay area again._ I emphasize again because the past City Councils, some of which are_ criticizing us, had a wonderful opportunity.to. .acquire the area a few years ba.ck and:should�have done s o. _ . . . :I feel- the opponents have tried every gimmick from the claim of give-awa,y p�ogram to the claim of Turtle 'Bay be�.ng�worthless� flood land. With no � foundation�.for th:ese claims, .they..ha�e settle3�on_ a claim of no master plan, whicn is true. , ` I'mentiori�a�so and not incidenta151y:;-th�a.t,the;.safety..of�children is_a major conside�ration.��� _ , �� . _ Councilman Kriegsman agreed with Mr. Chatfield, stating further he understood why .the Chamber .took the stand they did; they must .satisfy as many of their , members.as. possible a.'s.they ha.ve.their, membership to�wo-r;ry abou-t. ��� . _ , . _ _ .. . , � . .. . . ` _ ' It was true, as Mr. Chatfield stated, much of the area in South .City park was not available�to�the Gity and would not.be availabLe for many years. There was approximately 60 a�cres from Gr,ape,Street to the .river; Palo.Alto had a very large community center,. about 14 acres, wliich.included City Hal_l; Library, many other buildings and there was ample room for expansion. . ,- � That it was not necessary in Redding to have architectural planning for some five or six years; the City had too many other projects such as the overpass.; purchase of sewer treatment site,. upgrading the. storm drainage. system, parks acquisition and parks .development, the auditorium, bringing in of Trinity water, which City:hasn�t even begun to think about. � � ,. ' ' We. have to put first things first; this.is. an election .to,see if c.ommercial use is the proper development of the area. The man who made the suryey, .for the City indicated commercial use was proper for the land. That Council was putting in front of its citizens'a tool.to develop the area by which th_e_y, can not only :increas e the downtown area by creating a new type of developmen�;�,.;but�also create� new ' jobs by commercial industry and increas e City=s sales tax base. This is what the people will be voting for.. . . ,. . � . . , - - � � Councilman Denny. s_tated that consideration of this,. issue was very appropriate at this time incorder to enlighten the voters before the election on April 14th. It seemed apparent there was a misunderstanding with respect :to the purpose of council':s _recomniendation for _th.e abandonment of t��is park, la�nd. . First, Magnin Company.and the other company,who had originally indicated their � interest in the development of a shopping center have now definitely indicated they are not interested. The terms dictated by the Resolution of Intent and the sub- sequent appraisal does not represent to them an offer they can accept. Many people thirik the real issue in the election is to accommodate a regional shopping `�" center is this particular area. This is not the issue in this election. Secondly, the real purpose of the election is to meet legal requirements. A City may not dis.pose of park land without going to an election. Park land can not be used for any other purpose without going to an election. Council is merely seeking authorization to put the property to a higher and better use at such time when future planning dis.closes what higher and better use will be. . '9 6 . ,„,� City Attorney Murphy amplified Councilman Denny'�s remarks; that the original resol=ution of intention to ca11 an election to abandon subject.property. provided the intention to sell or lease the property; it was correct to say that if �eople vote favorably on the abandonment of this property City had no compulsion to sell or lease on any terms except those favor.able to_the City of Redding at the � ,� L fair market value i�n accordance.with the �appraisal. However, _he had.not indicated City, for an indefinite or perpetual length of tirne-�could,� after an� affirmative vote of the people, take no action whatsoever in an attempt to dispose of=the prope'rty in accordance with its arinoun_ced intentions. .- _ �� RE CABLE-TV � ; .. :. . : , ..�_. ` .. ,. .
