COMMUNICA TIONS
Protest-Vending. Machine �License
Mr, and Mrs. B`o;b Riley, Shasta, California, protested the business license
fee of $4. 00 per year per machine for postage stamp vending machines for
these reasons: Volume� of business is less, due .to type of commodity; it
does not deter the profits of�the business in which it is located, as postage
stamps are a convenience to the merchantis cus.tomers and'a ncsn-profit item
� to him; profit percentages are smaller due to �type of`commodity.
Speaking from the floor, Mr. Riley stated postage stamp vending machine s
%/�/
are serving the general public; �in his o�inion $1. 00 per year per machine
would be a justifiable charge.
Councilman Kriegsman advised he had not been in favor of the vending
machine tax at any time, however�if any differential was to be made based
on the volume of business of any particular ma�hine, or commodity, City
T
wouid be fa�ed v�ith problems.
Referred to Councilman Chatfield and City Attorney Murphy.

RE �TEED ABATEMENT . .
City Attorney Murphy advised he had written to Mr. Edwin Ness for his. comments
on the feasibility of an assessment district proceeding for the weed abatement
of parking strips. In his opinion, �Mr. Murphy stated, there was rio. proceedings
`� ��- / available which would coznpel the participation of the adjacent property owners
� except Chapter 27 of the 1911 Act which states that if 51°jo of the block already
have the sidewalks .improved in accr�rdance with the improvements contemplated
- by the Gity, the remaining 49°jo of the property owners could be forced.to improve
their property. However, this probably would not apply�to concrete for"parkways.
He then stated the State law does provide a definite procedure for weed abatement
which is permitted by resolution pf-the coizncil; declaring a definite :area .to be
a nuisanee, notification of the propexty owner, posting of notices,
PUBLIC HEARING - Rezoning _
The hour of 8:00 P. M, having arrived, Mayor Martin opened the, public hearing
r on the rezoning of property located 100 ft. easterly of, Willis Street on the south-
/, (�! erly side of Sh�asta Street, from an R-2 Duplex Residential District .to an R-3
v� Restricted Multiple-family Residential District. _ ,
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavcit of Publication Notice of Public Hearing , _
Affidavit of Mailing Notice of Public Hearing
403
. Planning Director Keyes advised this was approximately 1/3 of an aere, or
about 1/3 of -the total site planned for development. That Shasta Street has a
49 ft. right-of-way and it would possibly be necessary to red line almost all
of the site from on-street parking due to the riarrowness of the right-of-way.
There was an alley between Shasta and Willis Street that stopped in the middle
of the block; a vacant lot,, privately owned, .had_ been used some five to ten or
more years, as an access, 1VIr. George Alvis had requested prior to the rezoning
consideration be given to the extension of this alley, however he was not protest-
ing the rezoning. �
Mrs. Tiny: Carter, 1945 Shasta Street, protested the rezoning in a c.ommunication
dated September 12th. . .
Mr. Keyes advised the Planning Commission had he.ld a.public hearing and by a
vote of 4 to 0 recommended approval of the rezoning, and that consideration be
given to the proper alignment .of Shasta Street between,�illis-and_West Str.eets.
City Attorney Murphy stated you could not.,a,ttach a condi�ion .to rezoning; if any
pr,oblem existed due to rezoning, rezoning-should.be-_deferred,until,such.time as
the desired corrective .measure.s have been taken,, otherwise the only alternative
would be emi,nent do.main. � -
Planning Director Keyes emphasized dedication of land was not a prior condition
to rezoning, the. Planning Commission was merely .pointing,out.there is a problem.
Mr. Harry Hazeltine, 1440 Court Street, representing. Lloyd Teeter,, the applicant
for rezoning, stated property involved three abandone,d, condemned houses; the
court had approved the �sale August 26th and.a, condition, of the,sale of.this property
was the rezoning; if the request for rezoning was„not.approved,- ,the.buyer had the
right to withdraw. That adjacent properties in-the.,.area are. R-3, making this
rezoning compatible to the area.
The road dead ends at Willis; it was his clients intention to have..adequate parking
as he was �acquiring additional property on Willis 5treet. That realignment of
Shasta Street would not be of great benefit from a traffic standpoint, and he
would not be in favor of,this. , His client would be willing. to negotiate with the /yy
City for the, dedication of that,amount of property necessary to take the 12 ft.
short jog from the southerly side. of Shasta St, without cost to the City.
- � - : . -
Director of Public Works Arness commented that Shasta,.Street had.stop signs
from California Street to Willis Street; that he would recommend the elimination
of parking on the south side of Shasta between Vlrest and Willis; this would leave
City with 2 - 14 ft, driving la,nes. .
Mr. Hazeltine asked that Council grant the rezoning request as. recommended by
the Planning Commission, with the principals to work with._the Director of Public
Works on any logical procedures for correction to the problem.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kriegsman, seconded by Councilman Chatfield .the
hearing be 'closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes.
Councilman Chatfield said,.this property has_been ,pretty run,down in the,past
and improvements were essential to .the area; the ,replacement. of..curb,.. gutter and
sidewalk would be very expensive, altho the realignment of Shasta Street was pro-
bably the only way to solve the problem. The applicant's intention was good and
on this basis, he .approved the request for rezoning,
Councilman Chatfield offered Ordinance No. 740 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 of Redding.

SHARON ANNEXATION

Shasta County Clerk and Secretary of the Boundary Commission advised�that
map of the proposed Sharon Annexation was approved by the Boundary Commission at
their Augus.t 19th meeting. �

COMMUNITY ANTEN.NA TELEVISION � . �
City: Attorney Murphy advised that Ordinance`No. 738 was_ being presented for
sec'ond'reading and adoption; ordinance repealing Section 13. 1-15 and substituting
a new Section.l3. 1 -15 pertaining to miscellaneous provisions relating to the
franchising of community antenna television ,systems.
' A communication.from TelePrompter Corporation signed by Irving B. Kahn
dated September 12th was submitted, pr.otesting the proposed amendment on
I� deferred broadcasts. The letter eonc.ludes: `
"/ �� � "Our relations with TV �stations in other citie s has p�roven that:the
. ,.. . . . . .
cable system will only�improve tlie local station�s .ratings, and revenues.
This�beirig the case, we respe.ctfully ask that the C.ouncil reconsider
and eliminate paragraph (k) from the proposed ordinarice.
If the Council finds it impossible to concur with our opinions and
our request, ,we have no alterriative but to regretfully withdraw
our application for a CATV francliise in the City of Redding. '' . „
Mr. 1Vlurphy advised there had been a,,meeting of 'the .Board of Directors of the
Redding Charriber of Commerce today, and one item on their agenda had been
this ordinance. No stand had been taken on the proposed change in Paragraph
(k) Section 13. 1-15, but the subject had been referred to a committee for
report and recommendation to the Board. ` „
City Attorney Murphy stated this proposed ordinance includes �three changes:
1 - Safeguarding local channels - Channel 7 and 12 on� Channel 7 and
, . 12 buttons res.pectively
2 - 30 Day deferred broadcast: _ _ �
3 - �Our CATV Frarichise does not come withiri the provisions of the new
' State laws`
Councilmen concurred they were i� approval of 1 and 3 as outlined.
Mayo.r Martin advised if we do not have the 30 day delay in the ordinance, we
wi11 close �that coizrse of action fo�� good, and, the City Attorney explained after
the�ordinance becomes effe`c.tive, �Council will grant application to one company
- arid�enter' into�an�agreement with the franchi`se holder providing rate, etc. This
will create vested.interest in.the franchise holder and City could not work a
hardship on him. ' ' ' �
� • r.:;�, - . .; ; :;�,: ..�.s
`Councilman,Kr.iegsrnan stated the local��stati�ons must be protected,�because
everyone will not take Cable TV; however, we have already indicated we are ,,
interested in negotia:tion_,with a CATV operator jointly used with Chico, Red
Bl�.ff� and Redding, and these problems arise as far as other CATV operators.
�`�are concerned. That it is our obligation to provide the best CATV possible�
those;outside the City will not have CATV made available to them immediately,
405
and it appeared that Channel_7 is�the only company who has indicated this will
be a hardship.: � . _ . . . _
, �
. If� City had the delayed broadcast provis-ion in the ordinance and Chico does not,
this would eliminate the possibility of a combined action, which would be to
the economic advantage. of all concerned. That our main �concern is not what
is best for Channel 7, but what is best .for the viewer.
Councilman Chatfield stated one operator had.told him the 30 day clause was
no problem and he had no objection whatsoever to it. That from statistics
given to him, 35% of the viewers will subscribe .to cable TV, 65°jo would not
be interested._ In his opi�ion, . if the 30 day clause will help the local channel
to be a better channel, certainly the 65°jo was the� vast majority.
Councilman Denny stated he wa,s definitely opposed to the 30 day deferrment.
That it was true we must consider both the viewers of CATV and those not sub-
scribers, but we can assume a large % of the resid�ents of the City of Redding will
be subscribers.. Local stations could still defer the broadcast as it served their
, convenience, and :tliere would be no effect on the non-subscriber as he could
view the program at some later date.
� _ _ . _ : . - -
:But the effect on tlie� subscriber would be very. critical; the programming-of live
broadcasts according to the` schedules advertised nationally would be a major
- considerati�on in subscribing to CATV.
This is a type of competition in our area, and the question is the degree•of
protection we offer to the local broadcasting:company = protection-as yet not
mandatory. Council's task is the degree of protection we will- offer in order
to insure.the .local station can continue to operate, �and-if possible even encourage
other stations to come to Redding. However, he was definitely opposed to any-
thing that would prevent CATV from offering a full service .to their subscribers.
He called attention to the proposed ordinance, which included provisio:ns that
the ordinance does not include subscription or paid TV, and at th�is time no one
knows whether the service offered falls under this category. That it may go to
court before this decision�is reached, _ -
That the E:ederal Communication Commission is concerned with protecting TV
stations; CATV feeds off TV stations,. transmitting prog.r,ams that or-iginate on
TV stations. . .Ti�e time may come when F. C. C. �will consider CATV rebroadcasts
or trarismission as a threat:to the existence of TV�broadcasting in the U. S. ,
and at that �point could pr'euent CATV from rebroadcasting from T-V-broadcast
stations.: It was his prediction that once we have per-mitted CATV to come in
the number of original programs wi1T increase and rr�ore�and mare this service
will become actually a� closed circuit operation. The F. C. C. may then force
it to bec-orrie elosed circuit pay T. V.-
' _ .
Mr. Wm. Smullin, Vice President and Executive Manager of Station-KRCR,
estimated the 1963-64 schedule called.for eleven programs under the delayed
broadcaTst category; in r�egard to the problem 'of movies, he stated Redding does
not have the same advaritage in�the -purchase of rriovie films as San Francisco,
� - Los Angele�s or New- York, and they did need the benefit of a bargaining position
in order to. secure grading of the�product. .

Mr:. Richarcl Asbil'1, represcnting Western Cable TV, stated they �were�no't�pre-
pared to withdraw their request for consideration. �Tliey would be a local
industry, inves.ting a large sum of money, provide jobs, and be on the tax roll.
The:30 or 45 day provisions were �not acceptable to them, it would force_monitor-

RE INTERTIE - Pacific Northwest Paci,fic Southwest • ' _
City Manager Cowden submitted to all councilmen a memo dated September 12,
1963; entitled: "Recommendation regarding support of Pacific Northwest-Pacific
Southwest Extra High-Voltage Intertie!'.; Attached to:his inemo was a cop.y, of a
letter from Gordon W. ;Hoyt, 1VIeinb�er of the Executive Committee Northern
California Municipal Association; a eopy of a,letter dated August 6, 1963, addressed
to the Secreta•ry of the. Interior from Hugo Fisher, Administrator, Cali£ornia
Resources Agency; a copy of a letter addressed to the Secreta•ry of the Interior
from Paul E. Shaad, General Manager and Chief Engineer of tlie Sacramento Valley
Municipal Utility District. These lette�rs all recommend that Federal funds be
appropriated for the commencement. of cpri�truction of two ?50-kv-d-c lines
from the Bonneville system to the Tracy switchyard of the Bureau of Reclamation's
Central Valley project. � . ,
_ � � � A quote from the City Manager's lettier is as follows: "As you .know, the City
of: Redding has long been interested .in securing.an additional allocation of firm
electrical energy from the �ederal Government. The construction of .the afore-
mentioned intertie would supply to our area,. among others, additional electrical
energy that otherwise, in all probability, will not be made available from other
public sources. " , - � . , .� : � -
It was Mr. Cowden's recommendation the City Council authorize the preparation
by .the City Attorney and the City Manager of a letter to be addressed.to the
Secretary of the Interior, among others, urging early support of this .project
and early appropriations by the Congress to rnake this project a reality as �a
Federal Project at,the earliest possible moment, -with authorization<for� the ,
Mayor, to sign said letter. , '
MOTION: Made by. Couneilman Kriegsman, seconded by Councilman Denny the
City Attorney and. City Manager -be di:rected to prepare a letter addressed to the
Secretary of the Interior urging support of the project as outlined, and the
Mayor be authorized to sign said letter.
407
Councilman Chatfield objected .to Council taking any action on.this
particular item. He stated there was a great deal.of controyersy on
this, and Congress was now making the decision. He was not in favor
of the Federal.Government being in the power business. : The line would
be built whether the F�ederal Government�build5 it or not. "This is for
private enterprise" he concluded. ' �
In explanation of his 'recomxnendation, City Manager Cowden stated -this
means a great deal to the City of Redding; if the intertie is built by the
'Federal �Government it;.will benefit both public owned and private owned
utilities. If built solely by private power, "preference customers" such
as the City of Redding will not receive the full benefit of the additional
power which will be made available to this area. �- - - - � " �
, There is a power deficit in: California and in the Pacific Northwest; this
intertie will provide low cost Federal power to California and to the south-
west in the�summertime wheri it'is badly rieeded'for pumping� of irrigation
water; it will give low cost Federal power to the northwest in the winter-
; _� . . . . : � . .,. . . : . .., .,
time when it is.badly.' needed. ' � ' �� �
� _ , . .. , . , . ,. , .. . ._
Redding has been in.the power business since 1923 ancl s"ince 1960 has
had the added benefit of public power purchas.ed directly from the.Federal '
Government.�� It is important `to knbw that the public power customer pays
rriore for Federal power than does the private� utility'sector,�"yet tlie publicly
' 'owned utility'is abl'e to `s'ell power to its" custome'rs cheap'er than"private
companies as there is no advertising, no promotion cost, rio separ "ate ,
administration staff, This keep's `taxes`'dowri and reride'rs the .�same level of
service. � • - , . . .,. .- - : ..... .
Basically, a major dam such as Shasta Dam, is not constructed by,the Federal
Government to produce power, but is constructed for irrigatiori purposes
and flood control. Power is a by product, and enables the Federal Govern-
ment to recover some of the costs of the dam. '
If private industry wants to build the dam, pay all tlie`' costs for the dam,
� � and`-the power generatiori' facilities, _fine, but this is not the case with which
" we are concerned. An inter.tie constructed by the Fede'ral Government
will intertie the Bonneville, the Central Valley and the Hoover Dam Projects.
He then stated this is not a matter of partisan politics, but. a matter of
" ga'ining'the'lowest" possibTe.rates for our customers.
He further submitted statistics summarizing the electric power demand
in excess of the City's power allocation from the United States Bureau of
Reclamation and the cost of purchasing �tliis stand-by power since 1960.

ORDINANCE - Rezoning Teeter Property • • ,
(Public Hearing held September 16th - 1 st reading of Ordinance No.. 740 at this
time)
Planning Director Keyes advised this was Re-zoning Application RZ.-9-b3 by Lloyd
Teeter, requesting rezoning of� portions of parcels comprising approximately 0. 6
acre, located 100' easterly of Willis 5treet on the southerly side of Shasta Street,
from an.R-2 Duplex Residential District to an R-3 Restricted Multiple-family
Residential District. It was planned to construct an apaitment building of approxi-
mately.30 units in an area comprising some 31, 000 sq. ft.
Mr. Keyes stated�it was hi�.s opinion the traffic would increase from three to five
times because of. this rezoning; and it seemed reasonable.to him to recommend
dedication of land to widen Shasta Street prior to rezoning, to co.rrect this traffic
hazard, However, the.� �Planning Commission's recommendation was not the same
as the Planning Department's recommendation:
He then stated the Public jNorks Department had.,made a study, and a.map showing
proposed�realignment of Shasta�Street, prepared by Traffic Engineer Freeman was
submitted to all councilmen. -
Mr. Freeman stated if Shasta Street were to be improved, this is the minimal treat- .
ment for realignment. If the Shasta and �Willis Street intersection was to be � ��'�`
realigned, it w.ould.require acquisition_of property now owned by the Baptist Church;
that it was highly desirable to realign Shasta Street in view of the traffic hazard.
City Manager Cowden suggested that negotiations be made with Mr. Teeter, Mr.
Hazeltine and the Church; that perhaps Mr. Teeter would contribute to the con-
struction of curb and gutter on the north side of the church site, in return for
retention of property which he would not have to give up for the realignment,
Councilman Chatfield stated Shas,ta Street is a collector street in the,.Street and
Highway Plan - that 5hasta Street has a width problem in other sections than just
this block. He did not think.the realignment of Shasta Street had any relation to
the discussion on the rez.oning of the Teeter property now before council,
City Attorney Mtzrphy said you can not attach a condition to rezoning; however, if
City Council=•.made .a determination the street could not bear safely the traffic�that
would be added to its present volume, and the City could not afford to solve the
traffic burden with its own funds, and the applicant for rezoning gave no indication
he was willing to contribute either land or money, City Council could.properly
refuse to rezone as, by rezoning, a problem would be created. .
Councilman Chatfield stated Mr. Hazeltine and his _c-lient had been very cooperative
and he-was�in accord,with the rezoning•request.� . .
MOTION: Made by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by Councilman Denny to dispense
with the reading of Ordinance No. 740. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes: • � - ��
MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Chatfield that
Ordinance No. 740 be adopted, an ordinance of the City Couricil of the City of Redding
- amending•Section 30-3 of the Redding City Code, 1959, as amended, relatin'g to the
rezoning of eertain real property in the City of Redding. ' - -
� Councilman Kriegsman said in-his opinion you can not ignore the
recommendation of the Planning Department, the Plannin'g Commission,
the Public Works Department and the Traffic Engineer. .The.re is lot.s
of work that can be done and we should now negotiate for the betterment
of Shasta Street. ZAre have a real sad situation and we should not propose
to make it sadder.
418
That City Council has= an inherent responsibility to each situation
as it comes up - to give the best possible solutidn to improve "the
situation to the best of our ability for years to come: Tliat now is
the .time to negotiate,with Mr. Teeter and the church.
Mr. Harry Hazeltine, representing Mr. Teeter, advised that the
recommendation for improvement of Shasta 5treet had come froin
Mr. Keyes, that ultimately a better city street and a better traffic �
flow would be created. However, neither Mr. Keyes nor the Depart-
ment of Public V�rorks had anything positive to offer for this
� improvement. A minimum of 7 1/2 ft. had been suggested to a
maximuin realignment that would give surplus property to the north.
He th�en �stated -the Court had approved sale of this property, -�subject
� to rezoning, and they would be willing .to cooperate.that rezoning .be
accomplished. That he ;did not think anything would be gained by
a continuation of.the rezoning, as to date nothing positive has been
- �� suggested. That Mr, Teeter would be willirig to submi.t a le.tter of ,
� eommitment to tlie Department of Public Works, or Council, that he ,
would be willing.to withhold; or agree to a set baek deep�: �enough tliat
, the 7 1/2 ft, proposed•as'a �minimu�m would be a:vailab.le when a,nd if
Shasta Street was realig�ed. • '.
Councilrnan Deriny stated tliat City has more to lose than Mr�.. Hazeltine;
there will be inereased traffic on Shasta Str.eet,� and th�is has been
apparent for a long time. The failure of City in planning str.ee.ts_ hurts
us as well as those who plan the construction of an apartment, or any
other building. The important question was to d'ecide the manner o� .
realignment and this was City's,. problem; not'just Mr, Hazeltine:'s.
The rezoriirig should be denied,' or granted, on� its own merits.
Mr. Hazeltine affirmed that his client would specify in a letter his
willingness to sell 300 sq-. ft:" of land,at 75� per ft. to the Gity.
