Prote st - Pipe Line Supply Co. Mr. Jay S. Forni, General Manager of Pipeline Supply Company, Inc. , subxnitted: a protest on the award of Bid Schedule No. 266 for the furnishing of asbestos cement and/or cast iron pipe fittings. Also enclosed was the Opinion of Stanley Mosk, Attorney General and Charles A. Barrett, P�ssistant Attorney General, on the following question: "May a municipality_ operating a water system lawfully purchase asbestos-cement pipe produced outside of the United States? " The following conclusion was given: _ �Fc�S. � "Municipal corporations may purchase such asbestos-cement pipe because the provisions of the California Buy-American Act (Govern- ment Code sections 4300-4305) do not apply since the essential material - asbestos - is not produced in the United States. " Cpuncilman Moty said it was his personal feeling that, ��hen possible, we should purchase material made in the United States of America. City Attorney Murphy asked that the records sho��v that CarlArness had asked his opinion regarding the purchase of material manufactured in a foreign country, and without research he had told him the safer course to follow would be to buy domestic products in view of general law. That he was not aware of the opinion of Mr. Mosk when he had advised Mr. Arness. Mr. Murphy then mentioned a copy of a letter from former City Attorney Redmon giving his ruling on the "Buy American Act". He then stated it would appear that Mr. Mosk had reversed his opinion. Councilman Chatfield stated his objections were not only confined to asbestos cement pipe; that possibly City should confine our requests for bids to items acceptable to City, That if we confine our bids to cast iron pipe only, we would have had no problem with the asbestos cement people. Councilman Kriegsman advised he had heard criticism from other parties, that perhaps the City was paying an additional amount for something that was not worth that much more. That he would like a report to justify City's position, and perhaps later to have a rebuttal from others. Director of Public Works Arness stated they were preparing standards that would give City something to fall back on, on all items of Public Works construction.

He further advised there was architectural control in this area for any subsequent � development. Councilman Kriegsman then questioned if the need for C-1 was so great, perhaps the area rezoned should be larger. That if the people who have homes in the area are precluded from getting financing, this would reduce•the value of their horraes, but it may increase the value of their homes if the property was commercial and the need for commercial was shown. Councilman Chatfield stated there was C1 zoning in the area now; that he considered this not an orderly development and violated zoning principles. 331 Mr. Hill advised the majority of property owners in the area had signed the original petition approving the rezoning change. Councilman Denny a.dvised the Planning Commission has had a difficult time to ke,ep 'pace witli the commercial development in Redding; this condition exists in many cases; that he advocated the � adoption- of sound planning by .the City; however when you are ' confronted with these.problems you are almost forced .to deal with expediency. . _ Voting wae as follow�s: - �Aye s: Councilmen - Denny, Moty and Martin Noes: Councilmen - Chatfield and Kriegsman /�j�,� Absent: Gouncilmen - None Councilman Moty offered Ordinance No: 722 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City 'of Redding amending Section 30-3 of the Redding City Code, 1959, as amended, relating to the rezoning of certain real property in the� City.
