The City will initially cover eligible expenses such as police department overtime, equipment, training, and educational materials which will be reimbursed on a quarterly basis by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS).
The grant period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026 and has been approved for $80,000. All initial costs will be funded through the City's FYZS/26 and FY26/27 ITEM 6.9a PAGE1 7/21/2026
22 budget years and are expected to be reimbursed within those same fiscal years. No matching funds are required, as this is a fully funded grant.
Police Department staff will be responsible for grant administration, including oversight of operations, scheduling of overtime, and completion of quarterly reports. These duties will be absorbed within existing staff workload and will not require additional staffing or resources.
I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
In January 2025, the Anderson Police Department submitted an application to the California Office of Traffic Safety. This grant is designed to financially assist law enforcement agencies with equipment, training, and funding to combat and deter persons driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and to reduce the number of injury vehicle collisions.
The purpose of this grant funding it to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in crashes involving alcohol and other primary crash factors. The funded strategies may include impaired driving enforcement, enforcement operations focusing on primary crash factors, distracted driving, night-time seat belt enforcement, special enforcement operations encouraging motorcycle safety, enforcement and public awareness in areas with a high number of bicycle and pedestrian crashes, and educational programs. These strategies are designed to earn media attention thus enhancing the overall deterrent effect.
In July 2025, Police Department was notified that the requested grant had been funded in the amount of $80,000. I
The grant objectives are to reduce the number of injury collisions and to reduce the number of impaired drivers in the city. In addition, specific grant requirements include:
• Distribute press releases for specific operations
• Officer training in Standard Field Sobriety Testing, Advanced Roadside Impairment, and Drug Recognition Expert training.
• Officer training in the use of Radar /lidar speed enforcement tools • Three (3) sobriety checkpoints
• Seventeen (17) impairment saturation patrols
• Eight (8) traffic enforcement operations
• Ten (10) distracted driving operations
• One (1) motorcycle safety enforcement operation
• One (1) pedestrian and bicycle safety operation
• Two (2) traffic safety presentations
• Two (2) collaborative enforcement operations with allied agencies ITEM 6.9a PAGE2 7/21/2026
23 The Department has not previously received City Council approval to accept this grant funding.
Therefore, staff is requesting retroactive authorization to accept the State grant funding effective October 1, 2025, prior to the beginning of the grant performance period.
The acceptance and authorization of this grant will equip the Anderson Police Department with additional resources and funding to provide a higher level of service and safety to the Anderson Community. Additionally, it will foster ongoing relationships and educational endeavors with our community members, businesses, schools, and allied agencies.
City staff recommends that the Anderson City Council adopt the proposed resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into the agreement after review by the City Attorney and accept the grant funding from the California Office of Traffic Safety, in the amount of $80,000.

GRANT AGREEMENT
Schedule A
1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.
GRANT NUMBER
PT26094
The City of Anderson is a residential community located in the southern portion of Shasta County. Within the City of Anderson, there is Interstate 5 and State Route 273. Currently the City of Anderson has a population of approximately 11,210 (2023). The City of Anderson is home to the Shasta District Fairgrounds, one of only two Walmart Super Centers in the region, and the Shasta Gateway Retail Outlets. The city sits approximately 4 miles south of the Win River Casino & Resort located on State Route 273. In addition to gambling and dining, the casino hosts events such as concerts, comedy shows, and MMA/Boxing matches.
The resort is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The casino causes an increase in crashes as well as impaired drivers as they leave the casino and enter our city via State Route 273 at atl hours of the day and night. All visitors of the resort from the south must pass through our city on Highway 273 or from Ox Yoke Road. There are two bars within our city limits and numerous liquor stores. The Union Pacific Railroad travels through the City of Anderson with four light controlled intersections and one uncontrolled intersection.
The City of Anderson currently has 1 O automated license plate reader cameras positioned on major roadways within the city. These ten cameras attempt to capture every vehicle which passes for the primary direction of travel lanes they are positioned towards, and also often capture the opposite direction lanes as well. These ten cameras do not always capture every single vehicle, they occasionally miss smaller vehicles such as bicycles or motorcycles, and they sometimes have outages due to weather or other circumstances.
They also only cover ten single locations in the entire 6.6 square mile city. They have a feature to count the total number of unique vehicles (not repeat hits) which travel on the roads by day, month, or year. Using this statistic, the City of Anderson knows that from this very limited data set, the City sees over 6.3 million unique vehicles each year on its roadways. The city has a very high traffic volume, likely due to the above mentioned factors.
Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).
With the passing of AB 109 and Propo~itions 47 & 57, there has been an increase in violent crim~s and calls for service for patrol. We have seen, year after year, serious offenders be released from our local jails, reoffend in our community. Due to these issues, Officers are seeing limited time for general traffic enforcement. Officers are given some discretion; however they frequently are required to prioritize calls for service ahead of proactive duties. This has been the case for many years and continues to prove challenging.
The city has seen the following crash and injury trends:
In 2021 we had 244 total crashes, with 37 of which were injury or fatal.
In 2022 we had 331 total crashes, with 24 of which were injury or fatal.
In 2023 we had 292 total crashes, with 24 of which were injury or fatal.
In 2024 we had 198 total crashes, with 35 of which were injury or fatal.
For a city size of just over 11,000 people, these are very high crash numbers.
It should be noted, the city does not report on 1-5 crashes nor do we take crashes on 1-5, for this is CHP's jurisdiction. We DO take crashes on SR-273 and we DO report on these crashes. If crashes on our State Route were removed from our crash data, the Anderson Police Department would see a reduction of approximately half of all crashes the city reports on or investigates. State Route 273 is a heavy burden on our city for injury and major crashes even though it is State property. As a result, the presence of State Route 273 increases the occurrences of injury and fatal crashes. 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 statistics show the need for attention on traffic related matters. In 2022, Anderson had an OTS composite ranking of 29/104, 42/104 ranking for total fatal/injury crashes, 55/104 for motorcycle crashes, and 11/104 for drinking age 21-34 injury crashes. These numbers are even more significant due to the "E" city population gap being 10,000 to 25,000, and our city only having a population of 11,210. This puts Anderson as one of the most unsafe cities in the state in this population group with regards to traffic safety concerns. The City of Anderson experiences more traffic-related challenges than 9/11/2025 3:34: 10 PM Page 4 of 22
28 one would expect of the population size, but these challenges are directly related to the surrounding attractions listed above, such as a nearby casino, two major traffic routes, and two major shopping centers.
We are proud to share we collaborate with the Redding Police Department, Shasta County Sheriff's Office, Red Bluff Police Department, and the California Highway Patrol in our traffic efforts. We participate and assist our allied agencies with operations and checkpoint planning/equipment and they in turn assist us with DUI checkpoints, traffic enforcement. and planning efforts. This past year (2024) we added Red Bluff Police Department to our list of allied agencies as they received an OTS grant last year (2024).
Since October 2020, the City of Anderson has implemented a full-time Traffic Officer to help combat these listed traffic and crash trends and to help coordinate the OTS grants we have applied for and received. We are proud and grateful to have received OTS grants for five years in a row. Despite these grants and the efforts of the city to promote traffic safety, our city is seeing sustained traffic safety challenges as outlined in the raw numbers in this problem statement. Based on the most recent data available, from local data from 2024, we seem to have a very slight upward trend to the number of injury crashes and a slight downward trend of total calls for service for all types of crashes. We know the large number of overtime traffic safety operations from OTS is an integral part of solving this issue of traffic safety in our community.
These are some annual notable crash statistics that are compiled and distributed to the entire police department annually to help characterize and bring awareness to the traffic issues in Anderson:
APD received 198 crash calls for service
Officers took 89 crash reports
Officers were dispatched to 88 DUI calls, and overall arrested 66 impaired drivers Our top 3 primary crash factors are: Speed (16 crashes}, Other improper driving (private party crashes} (15 crashes), and DUI (9 crashes)
Our top injury primary crash factor is: Stop light violations, with 6 injury crashes and 13 injured, followed by speed violations with 7 injury crashes and 8 injured.
Our crash calls for service have dropped 38.3% since 2023 The number of injured citizens was 53, which was an increase of 14.1 % since 2023 Our intersections which have the highest rate of crashes are, in order: SR-273 & North Street, SR-273 & Marx Way, and SR-273 & Pinon Avenue.
(Using the most recent 2022 aggregated data):
51.5% of injury crashes in the city occurred on SR-273
3% of injury crashes involved pedestrians
15% of injury crashes involved bicyclists
9% of injury crashes involved motorcyclists
27.3% of our injury crashes involved impaired drivers
The day of the week with the highest number of injury crashes was Thursday between 1200-2100 hours.
The second day with the highest number of crashes was Saturday between 0600-1500 hours.
In summary, The City of Anderson is experiencing an elevated traffic safety problem on the roads and highways in our jurisdiction. We will be sending officers to radar/lidar training to help catch speeders, crash investigation to assist in their expertise after crashes happen, and safety conferences and impairment classes to help educate our officers and give them tools to combat this critical matter. We will keep these overtime activities in place as often as possible to keep our officers focused on roadway safety. The City of Anderson Police Department has developed a reputation in Shasta County as being very pro-active on crime and traffic safety.
Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).
The target population, backed up by local data, are all types of citizens under 60 years of age. The victim demographics from 2022 data is 55% male and 45% female, with the largest group in the 55-59 year group but victim ages are pretty well distributed from 20-59 years of age.
Impaired drivers are a major concern for the Anderson community. In 2022 there were 109 DUI calls for service, in 2023 there were 80, and 2024 there were 88. Driving under the influence is a serious traffic safety problem affectino the safety of citizens on Anderson roads. DUI was third place in the Primarv cause for 9/11/2025 3:34:10 PM Page 5 of 22
29 crashes in the city for 2023 and 2024. We want to reduce this statistic until it accounts for zero or near zero crashes. High visibility enforcement operations are a key component to improving traffic safety in our community.

GRANT AGREEMENT
Schedule A
1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.
GRANT NUMBER
PT27004
The City of Anderson is a residential community located in the southern portion of Shasta County just south of the county seat (approximately 5.5 miles), Redding, CA (population 93,611). Within the City of Anderson, there are two major state highways, Interstate 5 and CA State Route 273. Currently, the City of Anderson has a population of approximately 11,323 (2024). The City of Anderson is home to the Shasta District Fairgrounds, one of only two Walmart Super Centers in the region, and the Shasta Gateway Retail Outlets.
The City sits approximately 5 miles south of the Win River Casino & Resort located on State Route 273. In addition to gambling and dining, the casino hosts events such as concerts, community events, comedy shows, and MMA/Boxing matches. The resort is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The casino causes an increase in crashes as well as impaired drivers as they leave the casino and enter our city via State Route 273 at all hours of the day and night. All southbound traffic leaving the casino usually enters the city limits and must pass through our city to reach Interstate 5 or to reach southern Shasta County. There are 22 alcohol related businesses registered through ABC (CA Alcohol Beverage Control) as "Active On-Sale Retail" within our city limits and approximately 24 businesses registered as "Active Off-Sale Retail". There are numerous other businesses registered as both "on-site and off site" just outside the city limits.
The Union Pacific Railroad travels through the City of Anderson with four light controlled intersections and one uncontrolled intersection. The entire length of rail parallels State Highway 273 and when it is being used can cause heavy traffic congestion on Highway 273 and the adjacent surface streets. A majority of traffic crashes happen on State Hwy 273, it is controlled by Cal Trans, however any crashes that happen within city limits is handled by Anderson Police Department.
The City of Anderson currently has 10 automated license plate reader cameras positioned on major roadways within the city. These ten cameras attempt to capture every vehicle which passes for the primary direction of travel lanes they are positiqned towards, and also often capture the opposite direction lanes as well. These ten cameras do not always capture every single vehicle, they occasionally miss smaller vehicles such as bicycles or motorcycles, and they sometimes have outages due to weather or other circumstances.
They also only cover ten single locations in the entire 6.6 square mile city. They have a feature to count the total number of unique vehicles (not repeat hits) which travel on the roads by day, month, or year. Using this statistic, the City of Anderson knows that from this very limited data set, the city sees over 6.3 million unique vehicles each year on its roadways. Due to Interstate 5 running through the middle of The City, this brings in interstate travelers from surrounding states stopping for rest breaks and refueling their vehicles at adjacent gas stations and fast-food restaurants. The city has a very high traffic volume, likely due to the abovementioned factors.
The Anderson Police Department is also requesting grant funding to expand and modernize its motorcycle patrol program through the purchase of additional police-spec motorcycles. The department currently has four POST-certified motorcycle officers; all trained through an accredited motorcycle police training school in the State of California. However, the effectiveness of this unit is severely limited due to the availability of only one shared motorcycle, which is six years old and nearing the end of its optimal service life.
Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).
With the passing of AB 109 and Propositions 47 & 57, there has been an increase in violent crimes and calls for service for patrol. We have seen, year after year, serious offenders be released from our local jails, reoffend in our community. Due to these issues, Officers are seeing limited time for general traffic enforcement. Officers are given some discretion; however, they frequently are required to prioritize calls for service ahead of proactive duties. This has been the case for many years and continues to prove challenging.
6/12/2026 12:16:53 PM Page 4 of 23
56 The city has seen the following crash and injury trends:
In 2021 we had 244 total crashes, with 37 of which were injury or fatal.
In 2022 we had 331 total crashes, with 24 of which were injury or fatal.
In 2023 we had 292 total crashes, with 24 of which were injury or fatal.
In 2024 we had 198 total crashes, with 35 of which were injury or fatal.
In 2025 we had 281 total crashes, with 28 of which were injury or fatal.
For a city size of just over 11,000 people, these are very high crash numbers.
It should be noted, the city does not report on Interstate 5 crashes, nor do we take crashes on 1-5, for this is CHP's jurisdiction. We DO take crashes on SR-273, and we DO report on these crashes. If crashes on our State Route were removed from our crash data, the Anderson Police Department would see a reduction of approximately half of all crashes the city reports on or investigates. State Route 273 is a heavy burden on our city for injury and major crashes even though it is State property. As a result, the presence of State Route 273 increases the occurrences of injury and fatal crashes. 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 statistics show the need for attention on traffic related matters. In 2022, Anderson had an OTS composite ranking of 29/104, 42/104 ranking for total fatal/injury crashes, 55/104 for motorcycle crashes, and 11/104 for drinking age 21-34 injury crashes. These numbers are even more significant due to the "E" city population gap being 10,000 to 25,000, and our city only having a population of 11,210. This puts Anderson as one of the most unsafe cities in the state in this population group with regards to traffic safety concerns. The City of Anderson experiences more traffic-related challenges than one would expect of the population size, but these challenges are directly related to the surrounding attractions listed above, such as a nearby casino, two major traffic routes, and two major shopping centers.
We are proud to share we collaborate with the Redding Police Department, Shasta County Sheriff's Office, Red Bluff Police Department, and the California Highway Patrol in our traffic efforts. We participate and assist our allied agencies with operations and checkpoint planning/equipment and they in turn assist us with DUI checkpoints, traffic enforcement, and planning efforts. This past year (2024) we added Red Bluff Police Department to our list of allied agencies as they received an OTS grant last year (2024).
Since October 2020, the City of Anderson has implemented a full-time Traffic Officer to help combat these listed traffic and crash trends and to help coordinate the OTS grants we have applied for and received. We are proud and grateful to have received OTS grants for six years in a row. Despite these grants and the efforts of the city to promote traffic safety, our city is seeing sustained traffic safety challenges as outlined in the raw numbers in this problem statement. Based on the most recent data available, from local data from 2024, we seem to have a very slight upward trend to the number of injury crashes and a slight downward trend of total calls for service for all types of crashes. We know the large number of overtime traffic safety operations from OTS is an integral part of solving this issue of traffic safety in our community. We do not want to relax the overtime and enforcement operations; we want to continue our efforts to push this trend downwards even more with another OTS STEP grant.
These are some annual notable crash statistics that are compiled and distributed to the entire police department annually to help characterize and bring awareness to the traffic issues in Anderson:
APD received 281 crash calls for service
Officers took 87 crash reports
Officers were dispatched to 96 DUI calls, and overall arrested 54 impaired drivers Our top 3 primary crash factors are: Speed (22350 CVC), stoplights 21453(a) eve, and 23152(a)-(f) eve (DUI).
The number of injured citizens was 28, which was a decrease from the previous year of 35 injured, however, there were 83 more crashes from the previous year.
Our intersections which have the highest rate of crashes are, in order: SR-273 & North Street, SR-273 & Marx Way, and SR-273 & Pinon Avenue.
(Using the most recent 2024 aggregated data):
55.6% of injury crashes in the city occurred on a state highway (Highway 273) The City of Anderson is responsible for taking these crashes, even though this is a state-controlled highway. \ 6/12/202612:16:53 PM Page 5 of 23
57 In summary, The City of Anderson is experiencing an elevated traffic safety problem on the roads and highways in our jurisdiction. We have asked for funds to assist sending officers to radar/lidar training to help catch speeders, crash investigation to assist in their expertise after crashes happen, and safety conferences and impairment classes to help educate our officers and give them tools to combat this critical matter. We want to keep these overtime activities in place as often as possible to keep our officers focused on roadway safety. The City of Anderson Police Department has developed a reputation in Shasta County as being very pro-active on crime and traffic safety, and this OTS STEP grant is a significant part in contributing to that image.
Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).
Impaired drivers are a major concern for the Anderson community. In 2025 there were 96 DUI calls for service, 2024 there were 88, and in 2023 there were 80. This shows a steady increase every year that the Anderson Police Department is receiving more DUI calls for then previous years. I believe having the grant funds available to us to help combat DUI drivers is imperative. Shasta County has been steadily growing in population (currently 182,000 people) in the last 5 years according to the US Census, I believe the growing population along with other factors (casinos, bars, restaurants, and a major interstate freeway).
Driving under the influence is a serious traffic safety problem affecting the safety of citizens on Anderson roads. DUI was third place in the primary cause for collisions in the city for 2023 and 2024. We want to reduce this statistic until it accounts for zero or near zero collisions. High visibility enforcement operations are a key component to improving traffic safety in our community.

Under the City's previous collection agreement, Company offered a side-yard collection service, at no additional charge, to customers who could demonstrate a medical need for the service, specifically, households in which no ITEM 8.3a PAGE1 7/21/2026
77 adult resident was physically able to move carts to the curb for collection. When the Agreement was renegotiated and executed effective January 1, 2026, this medically justified side-yard service provision was inadvertently omitted and was not carried forward into the new contract. As a result, customers who had previously received this accommodation at no cost began to be billed for side-yard service under the current Agreement. The City typically has between six (6) and ten (10) customers who qualify for and rely on this medically justified accommodation at any given time.
Upon identifying this gap between the prior and current agreements, City staff and Company representatives worked collaboratively to identify the affected customers and to correct the billing so that those customers who qualify for the service on medical grounds are no longer being charged, consistent with how the service was historically provided.
This interim relief has already been implemented for the affected customers while a formal contract amendment was prepared. To formally restore this accommodation and ensure it is codified in the Agreement going forward, Company has submitted the attached Letter Agreement, dated June 1, 2026, which amends the Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2 to add a new Section 4. 1.8, "Side-Yard Collection Service." The Letter Agreement would:
• Require Company to provide side-yard collection of carts, at no additional charge, to any residential customer where no adult household member (age 18 or older) is physically able to move carts to the curb;
• Allow Company to require reasonable documentation of eligibility, such as a physician's certification or a government-issued disability placard or identification, with a determination issued within ten (10) business days and an appeal right to the City Representative if a request is denied;
• Provide that if the number of customers receiving side-yard service exceeds twenty (20), Company may seek a Rates adjustment, calculated under the Agreement's Extraordinary Rate Adjustment procedures (Section 6.4), to offset the additional cost of serving customers above that threshold.
Because the City currently serves an estimated six to ten qualifying customers, well below the twenty-customer threshold, staff does not anticipate a rate adjustment resulting from this amendment in the near term.

Re: Addition of Side-Yard Collection Service
Dear Joey Forseth-Deshais:
This letter agreement (this "Letter Agreement") constitutes a formal amendment to the January l, 2026, Amended and Restated Refuse, Recycling and Organic Waste Agreement (the "Agreement") between the City of Anderson ("City") and USA Waste of California, Inc. ("Company"), pursuant to Section I 0.2 of the Agreement. The parties hereby agree to add the following Section 4.1.8 to the Agreement, effective ___ , 2026. Except as expressly modified by this Letter Agreement, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
4.1.8. Side-Yard Collection Service.
4.1.8. l. Eligibility and Service Obligation. Company shall provide Collection of Carts from the side yard of a Residential Premises, at no additional charge to the Customer, where no adult ( eighteen ( 18) years of age or older) residing in the household is physically able to move the Customer's Carts to Curbside for Collection (the "Side-Yard Service"). For purposes of this Section 4.1.8, "side yard" means a location on the Customer's Residential Premises that is safely accessible to Company's Collection personnel without entering the interior of any dwelling and that is within a reasonable distance from the Public Street, as determined by Company in its reasonable discretion. Company shall not be required to provide Side-Yard Service where access to the side yard would require traversal of an Inaccessible Area or where conditions present a safety risk to Company's Collection personnel, as reasonably determined by Company.
4.1.8.2. Proof of Qualification. Company may require any Customer requesting Side-Yard Service to provide reasonable proof or documentation establishing that no adult residing in the household is physically able to move the Customer's Carts to Curbside for Collection. Such documentation may include, but shall not be limited to, a written certification from a licensed physician, a disability placard or identification issued by a governmental agency, or such other documentation as Company may reasonably require. Company shall review all such documentation in a timely manner and shall notify the Customer in writing of its determination of eligibility within ten ( I 0) business days of receipt of a complete request. A Customer whose request is denied may appeal the determination to the City Representative for final resolution. A Customer's eligibility for Side-Yard Service shall be subject to periodic reverification by Company, provided that reverification shall not be required more frequently than once every twelve ( 12) months. If a Customer's circumstances change such that the Customer no longer qualifies for Side-Yard Service, the Customer shall notify Company within thirty (30) days of 79 w
such change, and Company may discontinue Side-Yard Service upon written notice to the Customer.
4.1.8.3. Rate Adjustment for Volume. If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the number of Customers receiving Side-Yard Service exceeds twenty (20), Company shall be entitled to a Rates adjustment sufficient to offset the additional costs incurred by Company in providing Side-Yard Service to Customers in excess of twenty (20). Such Rates adjustment shall be calculated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.4 (Extraordinary Rate Adjustments), and Company shall submit documentation to the City demonstrating the additional costs attributable to Side-Yard Service for Customers exceeding the twenty (20) Customer threshold. The City shall review and act upon such request in accordance with Section 6.4 and Applicable Law, including Proposition 218, if applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, any Rates adjustment under this Section 4.1.8.3 shall be in addition to, and shall not limit, any other adjustment to which Company may be entitled under Section 6.2 or Section 6.4 of the Agreement.
Any rate adjustment under this section shall only apply to Side-Yard service for Customers in excess of 20, and will not open up other sections or exhibits of the Agreement for negotiation, unless independently warranted under a separate section of this Agreement.
This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, consistent with Section 10.5 of the Agreement. All notices under this Letter Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 10.8 of the Agreement. This Letter Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

From:
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Anderson City Council Joey Forseth-Deshais, City Manager

I SUBJECT
Update to the Education and Tuition Reimbursement Policy
I RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager Recommends:
1. Receive a staff report;
2. Receive public comment;
3. Approve the resolution updating the Education and Tuition Reimbursement Policy.
I FISCAL IMPACT
Reimbursement under the updated policy is capped at $100 per unit or $300 per course, whichever is less, not to exceed $1,200 per employee per fiscal year. Costs will be absorbed within each department's existing budget and are subject to the City Manager's discretionary approval of each request and are accounted for when building the next fiscal year budget.
I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The City Council last updated the Education/Tuition Reimbursement Policy (Policy No. 11- 80-2) on February 15, 2011. That policy reimburses employees for approved course work ITEM 8.3b PAGE1 7/21/2026
81 at fifty-percent (50%) of tuition, not to exceed the full tuition cost at California State University, Chico, with course work at Shasta College and California State University fully reimbursed. Staff reviewed the policy and comparable tuition reimbursement practices at other California cities and public agencies, and found that a flat, per-unit and per-course reimbursement structure would be simpler to administer and budget for than a formula tied to a specific university's tuition rate.
The updates are as follows:
Reimbursement Rate - Tuition will be reimbursed for courses approved in advance by the City Manager at a rate not to exceed $100 per unit, up to a maximum of $300 per course, whichever is less. This replaces the prior fifty-percent/CSU Chico-based formula with a flat, predictable rate that applies regardless of the institution offering the course.
Annual Cap - Total tuition reimbursement to any one employee shall not exceed $1,200 in a single fiscal year, regardless of the number of courses taken.
Approval - As under the prior policy, employees must obtain written approval from their Department Head and the City Manager prior to enrolling in any course for which reimbursement will be requested. Approval remains at the sole discretion of the City Manager and is based on a determination that the course work is job-related and of demonstrated benefit to the City.
Staff is recommending the Council adopt a resolution updating the Education/Tuition Reimbursement Policy to establish a clear, predictable per-unit and per-course reimbursement structure with an annual per-employee cap.

I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
With the passage of Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), California voters mandated the state set aside funding for the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to award grants to local governments and qualified nonprofit organizations, as described in Revenue and Taxation Code Section 34019(t)(3)(B).
The Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program marks an important step toward reducing impaired driving crashes, increasing public awareness surrounding the dangers of impaired driving, and making California's roadways a safer place to travel."
In March 2026, the Anderson Police Department submitted an application to the California Highway Patrol- Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program. This grant is designed to financially assist law enforcement agencies with equipment, training, and funding to combat and deter persons driving under the influence of alcohol and/ or drugs.
As part of this submission process, the grant managers request the following from the Anderson City Council in support of the application, submission, and mission of the grant- "A county, city, district, or other public body shall provide a copy of a resolution. order, motion, or ordinance of local governing body, which by law has the authority to enter into an agreement authorizing execution of a Grant Agreement... NOTE: The resJlution MUST explicitly state the Organization/ Agency has delegated authority to enter into a Grant Agreement for the requested amount."
On July 3, 2026 the Anderson Police Department was notified that the requested grant had been partially funded in the amount of $98,600. Below is a breakdown of the projects and equipment funded.
- $38,000

Anderson Police Department
The Grantor determined awards and adjustments based on the Project's merit, operational scale, compliance with the Request for Application (RFA), and program regulations. Certain activities or budget items proposed in Schedule A may have been deemed ineligible for funding. The final, binding list of authorized activities and expenses is set forth in Schedule B • Detailed Budget Estimate.
Project Description
The Anderson Police Department is seeking this grant opportunity to provide proactive enforcement and educational opportunities within the city of Anderson and nearby jurisdictions that have a direct nexus to the City of Anderson. As well as assist in the procurement of valuable and essential equipment to focus on three major areas of service:
• Increase officer presence at DUI checkpoints and in lesser served areas of the community. • Deploy community engagement and educational tools on the roadways and at community events with the intent of deterring persons from driving under the influence of intoxicating substances. • Utilize modern equipment to allow us to properly and effectively address Primary Collision Factors (PCF). collisions. and DUI/ DUID related incidents in the unfortunate event that they occur.
Problem Statement
Background: The City of Anderson is a residential community located in the southern portion of Shasta County. Within the City of Anderson, there is Interstate 5 and State Route 273. Currently the City of Anderson has a population of approximately 11,210 (2023). The City of Anderson is home to the Shasta District Fairgrounds, one of only two Walmart Super Centers in the region, and the Shasta Gateway Retail Outlets.
The city sits approximately 4 miles south of the Win River Casino & Resort located on State Route 273. In addition to gambling and dining, the casino hosts events such as concerts, comedy shows, and MMA/Boxing matches. The resort is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The casino causes an increase in collisions as well as impaired drivers as they leave the casino and enter our city via State Route 273 at all hours of the day and night. All visitors of the resort from the south must pass through our city on Highway 273 or from Ox Yoke Road. There are two bars within our city limits and numerous liquor stores. The Union Pacific Railroad travels through the City of Anderson with four light controlled intersections and one uncontrolled intersection.
The Union Pacific Railroad travels through the City of Anderson with four light controlled intersections and one uncontrolled intersection. The entire length of rail parallels State Highway273 and when it is being used can cause heavy traffic congestion on Highway 273 and the adjacent surface streets. A majority of traffic crashes happen on State Hwy 273, it is controlled by Cal Trans, however any crashes that happen within city limits is handled by Anderson Police Department.
The City of Anderson currently has 12 automated license plate reader cameras positioned on major roadways within the city. These ten cameras attempt to capture every vehicle which passes for the primary direction of travel lanes they are positioned towards, and also often capture the opposite direction lanes as well. These ten cameras do not always capture every single vehicle, they occasionally miss smaller vehicles such as bicycles or motorcycles, and they sometimes have outages due to weather or other circumstances. They also only cover ten single locations in the entire 6.6 square mile city. They have a feature to count the total number of unique vehicles (not repeat hits) which travel on the roads by day, month, or year. Using this statistic, the City of Anderson knows that from this very limited data set, the City sees over 6.3 million unique vehicles each year on its roadways. The city has a very high traffic volume, likely due to the above mentioned factors.
Problem:
With the passing of AB 109 and Propositions 47 & 57, there has been an increase in violent crimes and calls for service for patrol. We have seen, year after year, serious offenders be released from our local jails, reoffend in our community. Due to these issues, Officers are seeing limited time for general traffic enforcement.
Officers are given some discretion; however they frequently are required to prioritize calls for service ahead of proactive duties. This has been the case for many years and continues to prove challenging. 100
Schedule A
The city has seen the following collision and injury trends:
• In 2021 we had 244 total collisions, with 37 of which were injury or fatal. • In 2022 we had 331 total collisions, with 24 of which were injury or fatal. • In 2023 we had 292 total collisions, with 24 of which were injury or fatal. • In 2024 we had 198 total collisions, with 35 of which were injury or fatal. • In 2025 we had 281 total collisions, with 28 of which were injury or fatal.
As of this application date in 2026, we have already had one fatal traffic collision.
For a city size of just over 11,000 people, these are very high collision numbers. It should be noted, the city does not report on 1-5 collisions nor do we take collisions on 1-5, for this is CHP's jurisdiction. We DO take collisions on SR-273 and we DO report on these collisions. If collisions on our State Route were removed from our collision data, the Anderson Police Department would see a reduction of approximately half of all collisions the city reports on or investigates. State Route 273 is a heavy burden on our city for injury and major collisions even though it is State property. As a result, the presence of State Route 273 increases the occurrences of injury and fatal collisions. 2021. 2022, 2023, and 2024 statistics show the need for attention on traffic related matters. In 2022, Anderson had an OTS composite ranking of 29/104, 42/104 ranking for total fatal/injury collisions, 55/104 for motorcycle collisions. and 11/104 for drinking age 21-34 injury collisions.
These numbers are even more significant due to the "E" city population gap being 10,000 to 25,000, and our city only having a population of 11,210. This puts Anderson as one of the most unsafe cities in the state in this population group with regards to traffic safety concerns. The City of Anderson experiences more traffic-related challenges than one would expect of the population size, but these challenges are directly related to the surrounding attractions listed above, such as a nearby casino, two major traffic routes, and two major shopping centers.
We are proud to share we collaborate with the Redding Police Department, Shasta County Sheriffs Office, Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriffs Office, and the California Highway Patrol in our traffic efforts. We participate and assist our allied agencies with operations and checkpoint planning/equipment and they in turn assist us with DUI checkpoints, traffic enforcement. and planning efforts. In 2024 we added Red Bluff Police Department and Tehama County Sheriffs Department to our list of allied agencies as they received CTF and OTS grants and are continuing applications for this application period.
Since October 2020, the City of Anderson has implemented a full-time Traffic Officer to help combat these listed traffic and collision trends and to help coordinate the OTS grants we have applied for and received. We are proud and grateful to have received OTS grants for five years in a row. Despite these grants and the efforts of the city to promote traffic safety, our city is seeing sustained traffic safety challenges as outlined in the raw numbers in this problem statement. Based on the most recent data available, from local data from 2024, we seem to have a very slight upward trend to the number of injury collisions and a slight downward trend of total calls for service for all types of collisions. We know the large number of overtime traffic safety operations from OTS is an integral part of solving this issue of traffic safety in our community. We do not want to relax the overtime and enforcement operations; we want to continue our efforts to push this trend downwards even more with another OTS STEP grant.
These are some annual notable collision statistics that are compiled and distributed to the entire police department annually to help characterize and bring awareness to the traffic issues in Anderson:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
APO received 281 collision calls for service
Officers took 87 collision reports
Officers were dispatched to 96 DUI calls, and overall arrested 54 impaired drivers Our top 3 primary collision factors are: Speed (16 collisions). Other improper driving (private party collisions) (15 collisions), and DUI (9 collisions)
Our top injury primary collision factor is: Stop light violations, with 6 injury collisions and 13 injured, followed by speed violations with 7 injury collisions and 8 injured.
Our collision calls for service have dropped 38.3% since 2023 The number of injured citizens was 28. which was a decrease from the previous year of 35 injured, however, there were 83 more collisions from the previous year.
Our intersections which have the highest rate of collisions are, in order: SR-273 & North Street,SR273 & Marx Way, and SR-273 & Pinon Avenue. 101
Schedule A
(Using the most recent 2024 aggregated data):
55.6% of injury collisions in the city occurred on a state highway (Highway 273) The City of Anderson is responsible for taking these collisions, even though this is a state-controlled highway. The day of the week with the highest number of injury collisions was Thursday between 1200-2100 hours. The second day with the highest number of collisions was Saturday between 0600-1500 hours.
The Anderson Police Department is also requesting grant funding to expand and modernize its motorcycle patrol program through the purchase of additional police-spec motorcycles. The department currently has four POST-certified motorcycle officers; all trained through an accredited motorcycle police training school in the State of California. However, the effectiveness of this unit is severely limited due to the availability of only one shared motorcycle, which is six years old and nearing the end of its optimal service life.
This project will allow the department to fully utilize its trained officers, replace aging equipment, and enhance traffic enforcement, roadway safety, and emergency response capabilities throughout the community. Motorcycle patrols play a critical role in traffic enforcement, congestion mitigation, and public safety. Their maneuverability, visibility, and rapid response capabilities make them particularly effective in high-traffic corridors, special events, and areas inaccessible to standard patrol vehicles. Despite having four fully POST-certified motorcycle officers, the department's current capacity is limited by the following factors:
• Only one motorcycle available for four trained officers • The existing motorcycle is six years old, resulting in increased maintenance needs and reduced reliability
• Inability to deploy multiple officers simultaneously
• Underutilization of officers whose training represents a significant departmental investment The age and limited availability of the current motorcycle restrict proactive enforcement efforts and pose longterm sustainability and safety concerns. Grant funding is essenttal to replace aging equipment and allow for effective, simultaneous deployment of trained personnel.
Grant funding will be used to acquire additional police-spec motorcycles and related safety equipment. This will allow the department to:
• Deploy multiple motorcycle officers during peak traffic hours • Conduct targeted enforcement related to speeding, DUI, reckless driving, and roadway violations • Increase patrol presence in school zones, event venues, and congested areas • Improve response times during traffic incidents, emergencies, and community events All assigned officers are already POST certified, allowing immediate implementation upon receipt of the equipment without additional training costs.
In summary, The City of Anderson is experiencing an elevated traffic safety problem on the roads and highways in our jurisdiction. We have asked for funds to assist sending officers to radar/lidar training to help catch speeders, collision investigation to assist in their expertise after collisions happen, and safety conferences and impairment classes to help educate our officers and give them tools to combat this critical matter. We want to keep these overtime activities in place as often as possible to keep our officers focused on roadway safety. The City of Anderson Police Department has developed a reputation in Shasta County as being very pro-active on crime and traffic safety, and this CTF grant is a significant part in contributing to that image.
Performance Measures/Scope of Work (Proposed Solution)
We are proud to share we participate with the City of Anderson, Redding Police, Shasta County Sheriffs Department, CHP, Red Bluff Police, Tehama County Sheriffs Department, and MADD on our traffic efforts.
We participate and assist them and they in turn assist us with DUI checkpoints, traffic enforcement, saturation patrols, and planning efforts. With this partnership we can multiply our efforts and effectiveness. 102
Schedule A
Since October 2020, the City of Anderson funded a full-time Traffic Officer to help combat these trends and to help coordinate the CTF and OTS grants. We are proud and grateful to have received past OTS and Cannabis grants for several years in a row. The OTS grants have focused on training, saturation patrols, and check points. We are hopeful to begin receiving Cannabis grant funds to assist us with providing education, deterrence, and proactive enforcement equipment. Despite these grants and the efforts of the city to promote safety, our city is seeing increasing and sustained traffic safety problems as outlined in the raw numbers in this problem statement. We know having more officers out in view and detecting DUI and drugged drivers is an integral part of solving this issue of traffic safety in our community.
We are hoping that in conjunction with the additional hours worked, that we will be able to focus on education, deterrence, and proactive enforcement efforts through the acquisition of modern equipment and collaborative efforts with neighboring jurisdictions.
We are requesting funds for education, enforcement and deterrence efforts, and equipment related to the following high level view of the listed categories-
• Two DUI/ DUIO checkpoints within the city of Anderson o Staffed by seven personnel for six hours, available to all sworn and non-sworn personnel • This will allow us address local traffic safety concerns to achieve the overall goal of safer streets. As an agency, our goal will be to reduce DUI/DUI-D related traffic collisions by 10%.
• Two collaborative DUI/ DUID checkpoints with neighboring jurisdictions to include but not limited to Redding Police, Shasta County Sheriffs Department. CHP, Red Bluff Police, and Tehama County Sheriffs Department
o 01- 04 conduct operations as allied agency events occur o Staffed by four personnel for eight hours. available to all sworn and non-sworn personnel • We will collaborate with other regional law enforcement agencies such as the Shasta County Sheriffs Office, Redding Police Department, California Highway Patrol, Red Bluff Police Department and Tehama County Sheriffs Office. This will allow us address regional traffic safety concerns with our partners to achieve the overall goal of safer streets. As a county, our goal will be to reduce DUI/DUI-D related traffic collisions by 10%.
• Six collaborative DUI/ DUID saturation patrol operations with neighboring jurisdictions o 01- Q4 conduct operations as allied agency events occur o Staffed by two personnel for eight hours for each operation, available to all sworn personnel • We will collaborate with other regional law enforcement agencies such as the Shasta County Sheriffs Office, Redding Police Department, California Highway Patrol, Red Bluff Police Department and Tehama County Sheriffs Office. This will allow us address regional traffic safety concerns with our partners to achieve the overall goal of safer streets. As a county, our goal will be to reduce DUI/DUI-D related traffic collisions by 10%.
• Twenty educational outreach events, to include but not limited to, weekly summer concert series, City sponsored car show, large school events.
o Q1- Q4 conduct operations as community events occur
o Staffed by two personnel for five hours for each operation. available to all sworn and nonsworn personnel. ■ Aim to contact students and members of the public each quarter to increase awareness of driving under the influence. The interactions will educate parents, students, and community members of the hazards of impaired driving. • Summer concert series potential engagement is in excess of 3,000 attendees • City Car Show potential engagement is in excess of 10,000 attendees • School events potential engagement is 50- 200 attendees ■ Pamphlets directed at students, parents, and community members will be available at all events (as long as supplies last)
103
Schedule A
• Purchasing of educational pamphlets, engagement booth supplies- including but not limited to a canopy, table, table cover, and chairs.
o 01- Purchase
o O 1-02 Receive
o 02-04 deploy to DUI/ DUID checkpoints, educational outreach events, and saturation patrols
• Two patrol ready police specific motorcycles
o Q1- Purchase, 02-03 Receive, Q3-04 Use in approved activities o Similar to but not limited to the BMW 1300 RT-P model o Complete purchase may come from one vendor or a coordinated effort by multiple vendors, to obtain the most cost and time effective product
• The police motorcycles will be used to provide deterrence, enforcement, education, and engagement with community members at checkpoints, during saturations patrols, educational engagements, and other law enforcement related activities. • Having multiple motorcycles will increase officer safety as officers will be able to work in pairs and be more visible while conducting approved activities. • As an agency, our goat will be to reduce DUI/DUI-D related traffic collisions by 10%.
Project Performance Evaluation
While performance metrics for checkpoints, community engagement/ education, collaborative events, and equipment is a difficult task to put into tangible metrics as we will never be able to truly calculate incidents that may or may not happen. In an ideal world we strive for zero fatalities, injuries, collisions, as a result of impaired drivers, it is our intent to continue to work with the public with or without this grant to reach this objective. White it may not be realistic due to many external factors, this is still our goal. We as an agency have committed to striving for a 100% deployment rate for all equipment purchased and as many meaningful interactions with adults and youth to establish a zero tolerance mentality for DUI/ DUID incidents.
The broader picture of the results of this grant opportunity and equipment that it would provide our community will be much larger than providing formal numbers and statistics. It would provide confidence and modern equipment that can be used by first responders in the Anderson Community to educate, protect, engage, and deter persons from driving while intoxicated. The envisions program and equipment will create the ability to respond locally and regionally to provide advised safety, documentation, and data for the response and recovery to a traffic related incident or any other emergency, natural or manmade. This is a capability that is not currently available for our agency and community. If awarded, this project will provide community benefits reaching farther than mere numbers and symbols on a data sheet, it will result in thousands of lives positively impacted on a daily basis.
As a result of this grant and as a whole, it is our intent to see a decrease in the following categories spanning 2026 to 2027 and into 2028.
Reduce the number of persons killed in traffic crashes.
Reduce the number of persons injured in traffic crashes.
Reduce the number of pedestrians killed in traffic crashes.
Reduce the number of pedestrians injured in traffic crashes.
Reduce the number of bicyclists killed in traffic crashes.
Reduce the number of bicyclists injured in traffic crashes.
Reduce the number of persons killed in alcohol-involved crashes.
Reduce the number of persons injured in alcohol-involved crashes.
Reduce the number of persons killed in drug-involved crashes.
Reduce the number of persons injured in drug-involved crashes.
Reduce the number of persons killed in alcohol/drug combo-involved crashes.
Reduce the number of persons injured in alcohol/drug combo-involved crashes.
Reduce the number of motorcyclists killed in traffic crashes.
Reduce the number of motorcyclists injured in traffic crashes.
Reduce hit & run fatal crashes.
Reduce hit & run injury crashes.
It is our belief that through proactive enforcement, community engagement, education, and establishing positive life decision making abilities, the above listed goals can be obtained. 104
Schedule A
