Councilman Kriegsman stated the money donated by the City to the Chamber of
Commerce was for them to act as our advertising agent; the Chamber was ful-
filling its function and Council had no other alternative but to continu� that
should we invite them to attend our budget session we were begging the issue.
The money we give the Chamber is not that we are endorsing anything they do

� BE'NTON AIRPORT� - .Open "T" Hangar ,
Joseph E. Patten, Chairman of Redding Airports Commission, submitted �
the recommendations of the Commission for the future use of the open "T"
hangar at Benton Airport. The letter states consideration was given to the
. memo from Councilman Kriegsman on the proposed sale of the open "T"
hangar at Benton Field and the following action was approved:
"That the Commission�urge the City Council "to continue the plan
of dismantling the old open "T" hangar and remove it from the
airpo.rt; however, if the City Council should elect not to do this
and considers moving this hangar to a new location, that it be
relocated near the southeast corner of tlie 'runw'ay, and that it b.e
left there only on.an interim ba.sis, not to exceed five years, and
.` � that it be operated by the City and not by private. individuals in
/ � � competition.with the_City. "
Councilman Kriegsman stated it was his opinion the recommendation of a
. five year time limit was ill advised: That it.'would be -a sound investment
to rent each hangar unit at $15. OO�per month, even though the cost of relocation
of the hangar.was $5, 000. .00.
Mr. Patten stated they had gone over all phases of the problem thoroughly:
It was estimated to cost $5, 000 to relocate the hangar; this building was a
second rate item, competing with hangar space available in a good hangar
building. It would be direct cQmpetition with the rental of the good hangar
sgaces and would tend•to reduce.the occupancy of .the good hangar s.paces. `
� City Manager Cowden stated $5, 000. 00 was the e'stimate of cost fQr the relocation
of _each of -the hangars. Using figures for Municipal Airport hangars, a new
� hangar, complete with doors, would cost .approximately. $26, 000. Benton
Airport open ''T" hangar, built ,in the 40's cost approximately $15, 000. The
placing of doors on the open "T" hangar was estimated at $12, 000. 00.
Director of Public Works Arness gave the following figures for the relocation
of the hangars: Relocation (each) $5, 000
Inside .concrete
footings $1, 000 .
Concrete floor $l, 000
MOTION: � Made by Coun.cilman_ Kriegsman, seconded by Councilman Moty that
action be deferred pending cost factors involved. .
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Councilmen - Chatfield, Denny, Kriegsman, Moty and Martin
Noes: Councilmen - None .
Absent: Councilmen - None � .
City Manager Cowden spoke of the following action to be taken:
Readvertise for -the removal of hangars individually
Readvertise for the removal of both hangars
Readvertise for the sale of the open "T" hangar
It was reques.ted the Director of Public Works examine the buildings for
their structural soundness and submit figures on the comparable cost of
• a new structure.
Re Pacific Air Lines Service
Th� Airports Commission submitted the following report and recommendation
re the service of Pacific Air Lines:
I(� •
"The Airport Commission ---- decided that no extensive investigation is
necessary to determirie that the present Pacific Air Lines schedule is
inadequate; it was further decided that the City Council should be advised
that this Commission has long been dissatisfied with the service offered
315
by Pacific Air Lines, that this Commission feels that this service is
•� of little value to the community;, that Pacific Air Lines should revise ,
their flight schedules to accomodate passengers making round trips to
and from San Francisco, that it is the finding of this Commission that the
present services are not suffi;ciently dependable to encourage an increase
in ai�'r travel, and this Commis�ion recommends that the City Council make
an effort to obtain service from another airline.'" ' '

City Attorney Murphy stated to have the schedule. enforceable, it would be nec-
���� essary to have the rates adopted by ordinance.

enforce, but should anyone attempt this operation, at least we would have a pro-
, r . . - . _ .�
cedure to follow.

City Manager Cowden emphasized �this schedule would �not affect military aircraft
or transient airc_raft.,engaged in governmental contrac,ts; that some gambling
organizations arrange regular scheduled flight`s, then re�imburse the air lines,
and Redding was likely to get inquiries regarding our rules.
Councilman Kriegsman was not in accord with this recommendation, stating we
would have a rule on .the books we di.d not intend to enforce right at the moment;
when we have.the problem, we .should face it at that time. He then _said the
government has clamped down on operations,such as, this,� and in his opinion the
practice was on the way out. ''We should encourage commerce" he �concluded.
Councilman Chatfield said,he could see nothing,detrime.ntal to,our present operators;
that if we have inquiries, at.least we could. quote the going rate.

�RDINANCE - Council Meeting Procedure
� City Attorney Murphy informed council a further change had beeri sug�gested for
the procedural ordinance and there could be� two alternate procedures to make
this change: � �
1 - Make the change before the adoption of the ordinance, requiring a
delay in the 2nd reading until next council meeting �
2 - Adopt the �ordinance in its present form thi�s evening, and then
amending the ordinance in any manner desir'ed
The suggestion was that council committees not be separated in the five categories

council; that this would not bind any future councils.
