Re.quest for Committee Appointment - Aid to Retarded Children
Richard Smart, Coordinating Director Community Services Committee,
Redding Rotary Club, advise they are assisting the Shasta Cascade Aid to
Retarded Children in coordinating efforts to construct an Opportunity
Center, and advise they would appreciate the appointment of a committee
to investigate the possibility of obtaining a site for said building on City
property. It was suggested the committee consist of one member of the
City Council, two members of the Parks and Recreation Committee and
one member of the Rotary Club. _.
Councilman Kriegsman stated he was not opposed to this suggestion at this �G�
time, that it was a very worthwhile cause. However, in his opinion there
could be possible danger. Many organizations were in need of help, for /��
offices, nursery care, etc. , and should«te allow one organization to con-
struct their building on City property, where is the line drawn.
Councilman Moty cbneurred, stressing that someday the Shasta-Cascade
Wonderland building may have to be moved.
Mr. Smart stated aid to retarded,childr•en was not covered by any funding,
there was nothing in the educational code nor the department of science
code. Any physical facilities must be built by their own efforts and the
Rotary Club was .assisting in the coordinating of these efforts.
MOTION: Made by Dr. Martin, seconded by Councilman Chatfield that
we investigate the possibility of obtaining a site for such a building on
- City property. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes.
Mayor Fulkerth appointed Councilman Chatfield to delve into this project.
R e �'or:rriation':of; Youth Commission
In a communication dated March 28th, Robert L. Miller spoke of the great
. need for closer:communication between the teen age population and city
- government. It was his suggestion that in line with commissions for parks,
planning,. airports, art and traffic a Youth Commission be established, L��7
which w.oul'd perhaps tie in .with the suggestion of the Teen Center for the �
establishment of a Teen-Council.
He then suggested Sherman Fulkerth, retiring Mayor, to head the com-
mi s sion.
Mayor Fulkerth stated he was deeply appreciative of this. suggestion; that
� the decision is not as difficult as trying to define the problem and find
the solution. He requested further time to check into.this, to see how
other cities with Teen Councils worked out.

Final Report & Recommendations - Citizens Advisory C.ommittee
- on Capital Improvements �
Wm. B. Nystrom, Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee for
Capital Improvements, submitted Final Report and Recornmendations
of that Committee dated April l, 1963.
The Citizens Advisory Committee for Capital Improvements was com-
prised of the following persons: Wm. Nystrom, John Fitzpatrick Sr. ,
Wm. H. Fieweger,• Mrs. Lois Stone, Marvin House, Dr. John E.
Wolf, H. H. Holyfield, Melvin Peck, T. R. Woods and James Curry.
The purpose of the committee was:
1. To determine what capital improvements are needed in the City
2. To develop a schedule of priority based upon community's needs
3. To develop a program of financing the needed improvements
� 4. To assist in placing these programs before the citizens of the
c ommunity.
� �/� H. H. Holyfield, spokesman for the committee, outlined briefly various
points of their recommendations and listed the following improvements
� J �'% in order of their priority:
1. Sanitary Sewer System
2. Civic Auditorium-Convention Hall, Project
3. Grade Separation Study
4. Acquisition of Additional Park Land
x
Methods of financing are included in the report, on file in the office of
- the City Cle rk. •
Councilman Kriegsman questioned the recommendation .of the Committee
that all obligation bonds be listed separately on the.ballot of any election
that might be called as• this would specifically limit the projects as listed
in the report. He further stated he thought the priority of the projects
should be council's decision, with the auditorium a separate ballot measure,
the other -three items grouped.
� Mr.' Holyfield stated_that personally he had preferred the package plan for
all projects, howeve r it had not been the majority preference.
MOTION: Made by Councilman 'Ma�'r.'tiri,�...; seconded by Councilman Chatfield
to accept the report of the Citizens Advisory Committee on Capital Improve-
ments submitted to Redding City Council April 1, 1963; that the Citizens
' Advisory Committee on Capital Improvements be discharged with commendation
for their many, hours of work and their fine thinking. The Vote: Unanimous
. Aye s.
There was considerable discussion on a date for the proposed election,
Councilman Kriegsman and Councilman Moty favoring an early date, sug-
gesting June 4th; City Manager Cowden stated he did not think the Master
Sewer Plan could be brought up to date by .this time and it would not be
possible to know the percentage �articipation by the State or the railroad
company on the grade separation. There was a possibility this would pre-
- judice our ehances for obtai�ing funds under Public Law 660..
After checking the Election Code for the State, City Attorney Murphy advised
the first notice of election must be published;54 days prior to the election;
notice must eontain a �synqps.i's,: of' the:proposed issues to be voted on. Any
defects in the proceedings, Bond .Counsel would not appr.ove the proceedings
and there would be no�inarket for tlie bonds. An early election:would put
c.onsiderable pressureon the limited staff with risk to the validity of the
proceedings.
273
He stated he would like to prepare the forms, get Bond Counsel's opinion,
then submit to City Council.
Action deferred.
