from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-3 Multiple Family Residential. Affi-
davits of Publication of the required legal notice of the hearing as well as

Findings of Fact dated August 10, 1972 recommending approval of subject application
was read. Plot plan of the area was reviewed.
Subject area, if approved for zone change, will be used to construct and develop
a mobile home park as requested in Use Permit Application No. 73-3 granted by
the Planning Commission contingent upon the granting of subject application.
The City Attorney pointed out the pending request is a permitted use controlled by
specific conditions.
There was no one present in the audience to express opposition to the granting of
subject application.
Mr. Don Whittemore, Pomeroy-Nipper and Mr. Vern Parducci were present and spoke
on behalf of the application.
Concern was expressed regarding problems which result as each development of this
nature materializes, ie (1) the degree of ground density, (2) the drainage
problem, (3) water runoff which adds additional burden to property owners down-
stream. Mr. Parducci stated the plan for the area in question would allow adequate
open space for recreational facilities within the mobile home park so that undue
demands would not be placed on the city park located in close proximity to the
area. City Manager pro tempore enumerated costs which will be borne by the
developer if subject application is approved.
It was agreed that the correction of the overall drainage problem as well as the
water run-off problem which eventually reaches the County should be a combined
city-county project and that said correction could begin in this area. The City
Manager pro tempore was instructed to discuss the problem and possible solutions
with the County.

REPORT & RECOMMENDATION RE
SANITARY LANDFILL OPERATION
City Manager reviewed the current status of the sanitary landfill operation.
The D-8 caterpillar operating at the site at the present time is on a 90 day
lease committment from Berglund Tractor Company, Willits at a cost of $4347.93 per
month. Further discussion with the company regarding a longer term arrangement
for the city to own the equipment resulted in a proposal which was reviewed in
detail by the City Manager pro tempore. Said proposal would include a five year
lease arrangement whereby the City could purchase the equipment at the end of
the five year period ofr $1.00. During the lease arrangement, Berglund Tractor
Company would be responsible for on site maintenance and lubrication at a cost
of $2597.48 per month. The breakdown of cost per hour, excluding operator and
fuel, would amount to $10.71. City Manager pro tempore recommended the present
arrangement with Berglund Tractor be converted to the proposal enumerated above
at the end of the current 90 day committment.
Councilman Norgard expressed opposition to the proposal. He stated that he was of
the opinion that an arrangement could be worked out whereby Berglund Tractor could
be called for major breakdowns and City personnel could take care of routine
maintenance and lubrication. He asked why consideration should not be given to
outright purchase of the equipment. Council determined that the matter will be
held over until the next meeting. In the meantime Council will study the proposal
and the City Manager pro tem will present to the Council an evaluation of city
personnel performing the minimum maintenance and lubrication and the merits of an
outright purchase of said equipment.
REQUEST FOR POLICE SERVICES
AT FOOTBALL GAMES
City Manager pro tem reviewed the present Council policy regarding police service
for special events and subject request and the possibility of working the provision
for said service into the current school district recreational agreement. Council
determined that the present policy will be maintained. The City is obligated to
handle the traffic situation on city streets but it is the responsibility of each
agency conducting special functions to provide or bear the expense of police pro-
tection within the function.
