Civic Auditorium-Convention Hall
Mr. M. F. Parker, Chairman of the Civic Auditorium-Convention Hall
Committee, submitted a letter dated August 25th; he advised the committee
had worked closely with the architects employed to develop the plans, and
submitted for consideration and action the following:
"We recommend that the City Council approve the schematic plans as
developed by the architects and submitted to the Committee for its �3�-3
approval. Your approval of the schematic plans entails payment to
the architects of 15°�0 of the total of 8% of the total cost of the project
in accordance w.ith the contract in force between the City of Redding
and the architects employed on this project. We also recommend that
353 �
the Council authorize the architects to prepare preliminary
designs and developrnent plans which when aompleted and sub-
mitted to the City, will entitle the architects to an additional
payment of 20°jo of tl�e 8% previously mentioned or a total payment
at that time of 35% of the 8%. Upon the completion by the architects
and subrYii�ssion of the preliminary plans, the architects will be
entitled to an additional payment of $32, 000. "
The Committee sincerely feels that it cannot proceed to develop
the recommendations to the City Council on this project until prelim-
inary plans have been completed by the architects and submitted to
the committee for their study and review.
� < < < _
Preparation by the architects of the aforementioned preliminary
plans will include development of� ari alternative s et of plans �hich
will enable the Committee to submit to you plaris based on a minimum
, cost and a maximum cost keeping in mind our objective of�maintaining
. a seating capacity of approxixrxately 3, 200 people. It is not possible
for the architects to place a dollar and cents cost �n the pro;ject prior
to the preparation of the suggested preliminary plans .
In the event. that for one reason or another the City Council should
,3, �,� elect to order the architects to cease work during the preparation of
the preliminary plans, payment at that time to the architects would
be predicated upon the amount of work done to that date by the archi-
tects. " � � �
A statement of account was submitted by Van Bourg/Nakamura, Smart
and Clabaugh on Progress billing for professional services rendered.
Schematic Design Phase $24, 000
(15% of 8% of $2, 000, 000)

MO�TIO�N: Made by Councilman Simons, seconded by Councilman Moty

Dr. Martin said he was of the opinion council should consider the question
of holding an election this fall, or not holding an election.
Councilman Simons said when this election was or,iginally planned for this fall,
the bond issue for the construction of an auditorium-convention.hall was to be
placed on the ballot at the same time, however because plans were not r.eady,
this was not advisable.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Simons, seconded by Councilman Moty the sale
of the Benton A.irport property and t he fluoridation question be t aken off.the
agenda and an election not be held this fall; -that the Planning Commission be
directed to begin preparation for the development of a Master Plari for the entire
400 acres of the Benton Airport property, and if the Master Plan submitted ;by the
Planning Commission provides for the retention of the airport in the Master Plan,
then costs of improvement and development of the airfield be included in the
Master Plan. That an election be held at som'e future date� encompassing this
data. - . .
Councilman Fulkerth said to him the question was whether we do, or
do not want to retain the airport; that he would like to see adopted the
pr�oprosed resolution prepared by the City Attor.ney�entitled "A -
resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding. calling for a
special municipal election to be held on the 7th day of Noverr�ber,
1961, ordering the submission of an ordinance relating to the City-
owned Benton Field property to the voters for adoption, setting :
forth the form of ballot for the measure, and the text of the propos ed
ordj.nance". That this proposed resolution was fair, sliowing both
sides of the question and he�would vote in,favor.of the resolution.
That it was essential to have logical and progressive planriing.
Mayor Puryear indicated he was not in favor of postponing the election;
that an election held in November had plenty of "built-in" protection
for everyone concerned, and City Councilmen should know what the
�- people warit; that we owe it to ourselves, the residents and the taxpayers
of Redding to provide them with the facts.

ing tooth decay: - �
Dr. Martin briefed the group on the importance of this proposed ordinance,
stating there had never been one proven case to his knowledge of anyone Yiaving ��J_
been harmed by the adjustment of the fluoride content in water; he spoke of the
City of�Evaristoii, �Illiriois;' cutting tooth decay in six year olds by 90% after
eleven years of fluoridation of water, and the inciderit of tooth decay in the young
as practically nothing in the city of Newburg, New York.
He further recommended that a public hearing be held at the next meetin�;that
those who want to speak contact the City Clerk two or three days before the meet-
ing, stating whether they were for or against the measure in order to hear both
sides, and also to be able to judge whether the council chambers would:be large

DEM�LITION OF CA.NOPY - Idanha Hotel . , . ; ,

Insurance•Company the Tdanha Hotel would be posted against occupancy on Sept.
bth and they were directed to coxnmence within 48 hours of this date, the de-
molition of the canopy on Pine and Yuba Streets, all work to be completed within
ninety days from the date of this notice. . _ .
Under date of A.ugust 31st Mr. Nye wrote to the.City Council advising.the Idanha
Hotel is owned by Mrs. Frances Gilbert and leas edto him and his wife and Mr.
�{� �' and Mrs . Weldon.Oxley, with lease to expire November 30, 1962.
./ ' '
He advises they have an option to purchas.e the property and are. currently negotiating
with a large firm to purchase or lease the property; if the property.were purchased
the entire structure, with the possible exception 'of the building occupied by the
- State Farm Mutual, .would be r.aised .and a new modern structure erected on the
site. Also, local people were interested in the property and if � purchased by
them, the building would be removed.
� :. . .
For this reason they disliked the expense of removing the canopy, plus the in-
convenience it would cause the tenants of the building. He advised a local
contractor had stated .that the uprights supporting the canopy could be anchored
to avoid motor vehicles striking them with their bumpers. and moving.them out
of plac e. ;,
He concludes.the.letter as follows: '!It .would be appreciated by myself and Mr.
- Oxley if we could postpone demolition of the canopy until March 1, 1962, at
which time. we will remove the canopy, if the building has not been removed by
that date, with the understanding that we w,ill take. protectiye measures in se-
curing. the canopy. In any event, we would appreciate having the start of the
demolition postponed until September 20 which will give us an opportunity to
secure Mrs. Gilbert's ,permis,sionito� remove the canopy and will also give us
time to negotiate with someone for the removal of the canopy. "
_ � , :
. Mr. O�ey asked that demolition of the canopy be extended until March, 1962,
356
stating he and Mr. Nye had cooperated with the City in ever:y.way,, had put.in
a fire escape and demolished five rental uriits: �
Mr. Cowden asked if they would be willing to sign a "hold harmless" insurance
and was told they could not speak for the owner of the;building. He then asked
if they would obtain the certific,ation: of a,structural engineer that canopy was safe
in order that liabi�lity be taken off the City. �
MOTION: Made by Councilman Martin, seconded by Councilman Fulkerth that Messrs .
Nye,and Oxley, lessees of the Idanha Hotel, be g.ranted an extention until Sept.
18th .for the demolition of the canopy, and the Building Official to report back to
