' WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Redding, by resolution duly passed and adopted b•y affir.mative vote of more than two-thirds of all of its members, did determine that the public interest and necessity demand the acquisition, construction and. completion of the municipal improvement here- inafter mentioned, and did further determine that the cost of said proposed municipal improvement will be too great to be paid out of the ordinary annual income and revenue of said municipality, and that said municipal improvement will require an expenditure greater than the amount allowed therefor by the annual tax levy and will require the incurring of a bonded indebtedness therefor, which resolution w.as duly entered on the minutes af said meeting of said City Council, and is now on file and of record in the Clerk's office of said City; now, there- fore, . THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING DOES ORDAIN as follows: Section 1. A special municipal bond electi�n be and is hereby ordered and will be,held in said City of Redding on Tuesday, April 30, 1957, at which election . shall be submitted to the qualified electors af said City the question �of incurring a bonded indebtedness �f said City for the �bject and purpose set forth in the following measure, to wit: ' � MEASURE: Shall the City flf Redding incur a bonded indebtedness in . �(Sewerage the principal amount of $650, 000 for the acquisition, System) cflnstruction and completion of the•following municipal �- ' � ' � �, improvement, tfl wit: A sewerage system including trunk sewers, - intercepting, �e,ollsectin;g;, and main trunk line sewers, .pipes, man- � _ holes, valves, fittings, lands, easements and rights of way and - � all other wo�ks, property or structures necess�,ry or convenient • for the improvement of the sewerage system,�.�of the City of Redding; additions to treatment plant? � , The estimated cost of the municipal improvement set forth in said measure is�the sum of $850, 000, and the amount of the indebtedness proposed to be incurred for said municipal improvement is the sum of $650, 000. The estimated cost of said improvement is--based upon the assumption that the City will contribute approximately•$200, 000 from its general fund in aid of said improvement and said estimated cost accordingly ind ades the application of the proceeds of the sale flf said bonds tog-ether with said moneys to be contributed from the general fund. In the event it appears inadvisable or inappropriate to 'contribute all of� said moneys from the general fund, the City Council reserves the right to reduce the work to be done to that capable of being constructed from the proceeds of the' sale of said bonds. The estimated cost of said municipal improvement if con- structed solely from the proceeds of the sale of said bonds is $650, 000 and.the City will not incur bonded indebtedness therefor in excess of said sum. It�is however the present intention of the City Couneil to increase the work to be done by said conternplated contribution of approximately $200, 000 and accordingly the estimated cost of said improvement is the sum•of $650, 000 plus the amount of said contribution by the City. Section 2.

ESTe OF POLICY - Formation Assessment Districts �� Mr. Hal Marron, Director of Public Works, suggested that Council adopt a policy establishing the use of the 1911 improvement act for the formation of assessment districts not covered by the Subdivision Ordinance. This could include streets, sidewalks, alley and drainage improvements, but would exclucle water and sewer � improvements.. City to contribute 1Z 1/2°jo of the total costs of the improvement. He further suggested the City set up a revolving fund, that City could purchase warrants of small assessment districts when cost, of. imp'rovement was $5, 000. 00 or less. This would be a separate budget item, over and beyond the-street main- tenance budget, and City's participation would be limited to the amount in the ' budget. - .

He stated there were no streets, open sewers, and drainage from the�.dump caused this to be a critical year-round problem. Mr. Marron stated in a case such as this, an asse"ssment district could be formed under the 1911 Act, and the City could conceivably is�sue and buy the warrants for a longe,r period of time, extending the pay-back period.
