SERVICES OPTION: The term of this Agreement shall commence when fully executed and terminate thirty (30) days after completion of all Services.

4. COMPENSATION
SERVICES OPTION: Contractor shall be compensated for Services performed in an amount not to exceed that listed within each SOW.

For Services and Work Product provided on a time and materials basis as stipulated in the Statement(s) of Work,. <CLIENT>City shall pay Contractor in accordance with the hourly rates set forth in the applicable SOW, exclusive of sales, use and similar taxes. Invoicing for Services and Work Product provided on a time and materials basis shall be invoiced on a monthly basis, containing a sufficient level of detail to allow the City to validate amounts invoiced (including but not limited to; hourly rates, number of hours delivered per billable rate, the date of performance for each service, etc.).

receipt and will pay any undisputed amounts within thirty (30) days after invoice receipt. The written notice must contain reasonable detail of the issues the City contends are in dispute so that Contractor can confirm the issue and respond to the City’s notice within ten (10) business days with either a justification of the invoice, an adjustment to the invoice, or a proposal addressing the issues presented in the City’s notice. The Contractor will work with the City as may be necessary to develop an action plan that outlines reasonable steps to be taken by each of us to resolve any issues presented in City’s notice. The City may withhold payment of the amount(s) actually in dispute, and only those amounts, until Contractor completes the action items outlined in the plan. If Contractor is unable to complete the action items outlined in the action plan because of the City’s failure to complete the items agreed to be done by the City, then the City will remit full payment of the invoice. Contractor will not suspend delivery of services as a result of invoice(s) that are under dispute in accord with the terms above

5. ACCEPTANCE
Acceptance criteria for Services and Work Products shall be set forth in each SOW, or in such other document that the parties mutually agree in writing. The <CLIENT>City must inspect the Services and Work Products upon Contractor’s delivery of such Services or Work Products to confirm conformance with acceptance criteria.

The coordination of gaining City feedback and approval on Services and Work Products will be critical to the success of any work completed under an associated SOW. Any SOW associated with this Agreement shall be delivered in conformance with the Warranties as defined herein.

Acceptance of any Services and Work Products, including any formal sign-off of such items, must be initiated from the City Executive Sponsor, City Project Manager, or designee, and must be in writing. Acknowledgement, acceptance, or other communication from a City Subject Matter Expert (SME), City Functional Lead, or other City Project Team member will not suffice as approval on a Service and Work Product. Given that the designated decision-maker within the departments may not always be available throughout a particular SOW project’s duration, there will need to be a designated backup proxy authorization for each decision point. Assignment of each proxy will be the responsibility of the leadership from City. The proxies will be named individuals that have the authorization to make decisions on behalf of their department or functional area.

The City shall make best efforts to promptly accept or reject each Service or Work Product. The City shall notify Contractor of non-acceptance of any such Services and Work Products within five (5) business days, or as otherwise agreed-to by the parties, of receipt of the delivered Services or Work Products.

If the City does not agree the particular Services or Work Products meet the specifications identified in the SOW, the City shall notify Contractor, in writing, with reasoning within five (5) business days of receipt of the Services or Work Products or as otherwise agreed-to by the parties.

Contractor shall address any deficiencies and redeliver the Services or Work Products within a mutually agreed upon timeframe based upon the complexity of the deficiencies. The City shall then have five (5) business days, or as otherwise mutually agreed to, from receipt of the Packet Pg. 481 Attachment: Draft Graviton Professional Services Template (9.1(a)--Selection of Graviton Consulting and CherryRoad (Oracle))

redelivered Services or Work Products to accept or again submit written notification of reasons for rejecting the Services or Work Products.

This acceptance process, and the need to reperform any Services to bring a service, milestone, or deliverable into conformance, shall be in line with the Warranties in this Agreement.

Failure to reject a Deliverable by the City within a five (5) business day period, or as otherwise agreed-to by the parties, shall not be construed to convey implicit or other acceptance. In the event City has not rejected or accepted a Service or Work Product within five (5) business days, or as otherwise agreed-to by the parties, Contractor shall have the right to escalate the matter to the City Executive Sponsor for remediation.

Unless otherwise stated in a SOW, if Contractor has not received written notice from <CLIENT> within five (5) business days, or an alternate period agreed to between the parties, following Contractor’s notification to <CLIENT> of completion of the Services or delivery of the Work Products, the applicable Services or Work Products will be deemed accepted by <CLIENT>. If the SOW does not contain acceptance criteria, the applicable Services or Work Products will be deemed accepted by <CLIENT>City on the date of delivery unless Contractor receives written notice from City<CLIENT> specifying the reason for non-acceptance within five (5) business days after Contractor’s completion of the Services or delivery of the Work Products.

(5) Verification of Coverage: Contractor shall furnish the <CLIENT>City with original certificates and amendatory endorsements, or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this clause. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by the <CLIENT>City before work commences.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions pursuant to the recommendation of Professional Services Consultant BerryDunn:
(1) Approve issuance of a Request for Proposals for a new ERP system to include critical functions that will focus around core business functions related to financial management, procurement, document management, human resources, time, attendance, and payroll; and
(2) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting 20th Amendment to City of Redding Budget Resolution No. 2021-078 appropriating $4,100,000 to fund an ERP system.

Fiscal Impact
The expected cost of funding the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is $2.05 million.

Increasing the allocation from Information Technology to all City departments will fund the ERP system. This increases expenses to all City departments per the attached Budget Resolution in order to provide funding for Information Technology for the ERP system. The Budget Resolution is for $4.1 million to account for both the cost of the software and the need to allocate the costs to the various Departments.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to approve staff’s recommendation to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an ERP system, and provide further direction to staff.

Information Technology
Director
Packet Pg. 494 Attachment: 11.16.21 Staff Report (9.1(a)--Selection of Graviton Consulting and CherryRoad (Oracle)) Report to Redding City Council November 12, 2021
Re: 9.3(a)--Consultant BerryDunn's ERP Needs Assessment Report & Recommendation Page 2 Background/Analysis
At the January 19, 2021, Council meeting, the Council approved the City’s request to obtain consulting services to assist in identifying options for migrating from the existing legacy computer software system (AS400), to an Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP).

The City relied on a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), in accordance with Redding Municipal Code section 4.20.080(a)5, for consulting services, and awarded the contract to BerryDunn, McNeil & Parker LLC (BerryDunn). BerryDunn met with City staff and conducted a thorough needs assessment in order to help identify, evaluate, and ultimately provide a recommendation for how the City should proceed in terms of remaining on the AS400 or migrating to an ERP system.

The needs assessment included a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) web survey, review of existing documentation, on-site fact-finding meetings, and development of the requested Needs Assessment Report. The full report is attached for review. Based on the report, BerryDunn provided various options; yet its overall recommendation was for the City to move forward with the procurement of a new ERP system.

BerryDunn recommends the City issue an RFP for an ERP solution that meets the needs identified in the Needs Assessment report. The critical functions of a successful ERP system will focus around core business functions related to financial management, procurement, document management, human resources, time and attendance, and payroll.

BerryDunn will provide a summary of its findings and recommendation to the City Council based on the attached Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Needs Assessment Memo.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to engaging a consultant:
1) Authorize staff to move forward with a Request for Proposals ( RFP) for consulting services to advise on the options available and need for an Enterprise Resource Planning ERP) System;
2) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 69th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2019- 050 appropriating $ 150,000 to fund the consulting services contract; and
3) Authorize the City Manager to approve a contract for professional services not to exceed 150,000, and sign all necessary documentation to execute said contract.

Fiscal Impact
Funding for the consultant will come from Information Technology Fund. Reserves are adequate to fund this contract. However, the reserves will need to be back- filled during the mid- year budget review process.

Alternative Action
The City Council may chose not to go forward with a consultant at this time, and provide further direction to staff.

Background/ Analysis
The City of Redding has been contemplating the longevity of its legacy ( AS400) computer software system for some time now. Recruiting computer programmers has become increasingly difficult. Competing with Costco, Walmart and Target for programming talent is challenging.

The City currently has only two and one-half computer programmers employed to manage the MEETING DATE: January 19, 2021

Re: 9.10( b)--Professional Services Consultant to consider ERP System Page 2 entire system. The average computer programmer job postings list a wage at $ 203,000, fully benefited, and with an added benefit of being able to work remotely. In the national work-fromhome standard environment, enticing programmers away from the remote -work- model means a salary base well beyond what the City is able to offer. With eleven bargaining units, modifications of any kind require manual programming to accommodate changes. This is inefficient, error-prone, and unsustainable.

Staff is proposing the option of looking at alternative software. Integrated systems that many peer Cities have implemented are called ERP Systems. Enterprise resource planning ( ERP) refers to a type of software that organizations use to manage day-to-day business activities such as accounting, time and attendance, procurement, project management, risk management and compliance, and human resource management. Most of these systems are “ cloud-based” now which improves the security of data, but raises the question of who owns the data. ERP systems can be as sophisticated or basic as the end-user requires. Typical municipal systems include the financial general ledger and reporting module, budgeting module, fixed asset management module, human resources module, procurement module, the treasury cash management module, a payroll module, and a land management module. Utility billing modules are available as well, and the modules are designed to work most efficiently together.

Staff has discussed this subject many times without resolve because it is believed the cost would be a prohibitive factor. Unfortunately, the City has reached a stage where other options must be considered. Recently, the City of Roseville converted to an ERP system. The process has taken about 4 years so far, and it is still not complete. The upfront costs are in the $5-7 million range in addition to annual maintenance costs. Staff believes a decision to commit to continuing with the legacy system or a plan to move to ERP must be made. A consultant would be engaged to provide unbiased information on the benefits and pitfalls of both, as well as a plan for moving forward. Prolonging this decision any further hinders the ability to anticipate the needs of the City and may prove too high a risk for the City in the future.

Because this is a highly technical, specific, and constantly evolving arena, staff is recommending approval of up to $150, 000 for a consulting contract to consider the issue and advise on what options are available to the City of Redding, and what plan recommendations they may have for the City. This would guide the City in making an informed decision on whether to stay with the legacy system, or put in place a funding and implementation plan and Request For Proposal for alternative software.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve an Agreement with Project for Public Spaces in an amount not-to-exceed $49,000, to draft a Park Improvement Plan, Schematic Design, Programming Matrix, and Activation Plan for South City Park.

Fiscal Impact
The cost of the contract is not to exceed $49,000 and is funded with an existing allocation. There is no impact to the General Fund.

Alternative Action
The City Council could decline to award the contract and provide staff with alternative direction.

Background/Analysis
South City Park, Redding’s oldest park, is nearly 100 years old. The park is uniquely poised to serve the community. It has, within its boundaries, a baseball field, bocce ball courts, tennis courts, a basketball court, walkways, and open grassy areas for picnicking, sitting, and other informal uses. Directly adjacent to the park are the Redding Library and Tiger Field along with space for parking. The park is near two residential neighborhoods and only a short distance from the newly revitalized downtown Redding. In addition, Redding City Hall with its ample grounds is just two blocks away.

The park has seen some challenges since its inception. In 1964, the Council called for a special election to sell the park property, and the idea was rejected by the voters. In recent years, the park had a decrease in utilization by the community and needed revitalization to return to its original vibrancy. In 2017, the Council directed staff to prepare a request for proposals for MEETING DATE: June 21, 2022

Re: 9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park Page 2
projects at South City Park with the hope of soliciting new ideas for, and private investment in, the park. The RFP was released in 2018 and two responses were received, but neither was funded. In June 2018, the Council directed that South City Park be fenced and closed to open public access and that staff work with interested community partners to develop activities to utilize the park property. Public meetings were held and two groups proposed new uses for the park. An agreement with Redding Tennis Club was signed in 2019. Redding Tennis Club was anticipated to bring regular programming, community events, and updated facilities to the park, but the work was never executed.

On November 16, 2021, staff presented a proposal to the Council, recommended by the Community Services Advisory Commission (CSAC), to conduct a broad community engagement effort regarding the future of South City Park. Immediately following, A board member from the Colt 45s presented a proposal to construct an additional baseball field and an entertainment stage in the park as well as conduct some improvements to Tiger Field. The Council accepted both reports and directed staff and CSAC to continue to engage the community in dialog regarding options to enhance South City Park through workshops, surveys, and public meetings and to collaborate with the Redding Colt 45s organization. In-mid January, the Colt 45s withdrew its proposal.

In response to the Council’s direction, staff launched a series of opportunities to solicit public opinion. Three open houses were conducted — two in-person on-site at the park, and another via Zoom. City staff facilitated discussions and used pop-up boards to compile the ideas and priorities from the community. Staff developed an online survey which was distributed through the City’s communication media to reach a greater audience and those who were unable to attend open houses. From December 1 - January 19, 2022, the public survey collected almost 1,300 responses. Overall community engagement results highlighted the opinion that it is difficult to access the park by foot or bike, and there is a perceived lack of safety.

Staff retained the services of Project for Public Spaces (PPS), a firm of multi-disciplinary professionals who have facilitated many public placemaking community engagements efforts, published multiple studies and reports on the subject, and assisted communities to reactivate neglected public spaces. In February 2022, PPS staff visited Redding and conducted two full days of focus groups and interviews. These discussions revealed missing elements in the community and existing elements that can be expanded upon. Discussions delved into the background on past uses of South City Park, the nostalgia the community holds for the park, and the impact of the fencing that was installed three years ago. These engagements helped increase awareness of the options and understanding of the work needed to include the community in the program planning of the new South City Park. Following its visit, PPS reviewed all of the community engagement collaterals and produced the attached South City Park Visioning Plan (Visioning Plan) which addresses both placemaking and activation.

CSAC reviewed the Visioning Plan at its meeting on April 25, 2022, with a presentation from the PPS staff and several interested members of the community. CSAC members unanimously voted to accept the report and recommended proceeding to the next level of planning with PPS.

Under the proposed contract Project for Public Spaces (PPS) will develop an initial park improvement plan and schematic design, as well as a programming matrix and activation plan.

The work would be completed no later than June 30, 2023.

Re: 9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park Page 3
The preliminary design will include:
• Entrances, gateways, as well as subplaces and destinations within it (existing and proposed) illustrating different programming options (e.g. seasonal events, markets, celebrations, etc.);
• Types of experiences and programs for the park, including infrastructure needs (e.g., stages, storage, restrooms, food, electrical, water, etc.); • The character and scale for buildings in the park (if needed) including urban design considerations, and desired type of retail, community, civic and cultural uses; • Circulation patterns, access points, parking options, pedestrian and bicycle routes; • Linkages to the park and between various destinations within; etc. • High level programmatic level cost estimating.

The Programming Matrix and Activation Plan builds on the ideas that emerged from focus groups and interviews, as well as the information from the community survey and open house meetings. The program will include:
• A matrix that lists existing and proposed uses and activities, and when they occur during the day, week and year;
• Conceptual diagrams illustrating the layout of new or proposed program elements in the park;
• A discussion of the management implications of the proposed levels of programming; • A list of additional and potential programming partners; • A list of types of recreational and organized activities as well as self-directed, spontaneous and daily uses; infrastructure, management, and maintenance needs related to active programming (e.g., stages, storage, landscaping, electrical, water, etc.); and thematic linkages to other community events and destinations.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Public Safety – “Work to improve all aspects of public safety to help people feel secure and safe where they live, work, and play in the City of Redding.” • Communication and Transparency – “Improve the quality of communication with the public and City employees to enhance knowledge and increase transparency to improve public trust.”
• Government of the 21st Century – “Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today’s residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better decisions today.”
• Economic Development – “Facilitate and become a catalyst for economic development in Redding to create jobs, retain current businesses and attract new ones, and encourage investment in the community.”

Scope of Work:

PHASE II –
Build The Vision & Implement

1. Develop Initial Park Improvement Plan & Schematic Design Project for Public Spaces will prepare a park improvement plan and a set of sketches to illustrate the preliminary design for the Park. We will contribute to the explorations surrounding Park Layout and circulation, stormwater, green infrastructure, connectivity, future-proofing and resilience, lighting and public art. PPS will develop concepts for open space and landscape elements within the Park and the connectivity to the natural environment and the Downtown area.

The Schematic Design plan will provide recommendations for:
• The overall layout of park, including entrances, gateways, as well as subplaces and destinations within it (existing and proposed) illustrating different programming options (e.g. seasonal events, markets, celebrations, etc.); • Types of experiences and programs for the Park, including infrastructure needs (e.g., stages, storage, restrooms, food, electrical, water, etc.); • The character and scale for buildings in the park (if needed) including urban design considerations, and desired type of retail, community, civic and cultural uses;
• Circulation patterns, access points, parking options, pedestrian and bicycle routes;
• Linkages to the park and between various destinations within; etc.

2. Programming Matrix and Activation Plan
Building on the ideas that emerge from focus groups and interviews, as well as the information from the community survey and open house meetings, PPS will prepare a high- level program of uses for South City Park.

The program will include:
• A matric that lists existing and proposed uses and activities, and when they occur during the day, week and year;
• Conceptual diagrams illustrating the layout of new or proposed program elements in the park;
• A discussion of the management implications of the proposed levels of programming;
• A list of additional and potential programming partners.

Project Overview
An Introduction to the Park’s Location and Context
South City Park has the potential to be the urban
park jewel of Redding. Located within walking
distance of revitalizing downtown Redding and
over 1000 homes, Redding City Hall, and in direct
proximity to the Redding Library and Tiger Field,
the park can become an attractive, dynamic,
vibrant community destination.

Three years ago it was fenced and use has been
limited. The City of Redding is committed to
re-developing South City Park to better serve
the needs of current residents and others for
decades to come.

The new South City Park will be both a lush,
modern front porch and a relaxing backyard
for residents of Redding: a place to play, gather,
celebrate, exercise and play sports or cool off
in the shade. It will offer a new destination for
families, active recreation spaces, and intimate
garden experiences along with year-round
activities, performances, festivals, games, food
and markets in a light, multi-use pavilion.

Transforming South City Park into a stronger
community destination is a testament to the
City of Redding’s desire to explore a different
kind of park space in this part of town. While not
large in size, the park can once again become
a great place for families, youth and seniors to
enjoy, demonstrating the City’s commitment
to quality of life and to an inviting, dynamic
and convivial urban park experience close to
downtown.

An evolving space, the renovated park is
intended for families with children, nearby
residents, seniors, youth, sports clubs and
leagues, library patrons, downtown residents,
and the people of Redding in general. As more
activities and destinations attract regular users
here on a daily basis, the park will succeed by
allowing room for flexibility as community needs
and park audiences grow and evolve.

PLACE
What makes a great place?
In his studies of public space, William H. Whyte
observed the key indicators of a great place. These
places have a high proportion of people in groups
and a wide variety of activities. People show
affection to one another there, and a variety of
users feel welcome.

When people describe such places, words like “safe,” “fun,” and “welcoming” come up repeatedly.

These types of adjectives describe the intangible qualities of a particular space. Intangible qualities can be measured quantitatively by using existing statistics or by conducting new research.

In studying more than 3000 public spaces around the world, PPS has found four key qualities that generate these patterns of behavior, emotion, and measurable outcomes in public space (see Place Diagram, above). Great places are sociable, have a variety of uses and activities, are well-connected to their surroundings, and are comfortable and welcoming. The most successful spaces always have all four characteristics.

Access
Placing activity with an understanding of the space
View from the Safeway to the South City Park
entrance with skinny sidewalks, 6 car lanes, and
no crosswalk
One of our initial steps is to study the space to understand how visitors would engage, see, and learn about South City Park and all the upcoming exciting activities it will have to offer. Visual access, in addition to physical connection, was a major consideration in locating programs and activities that were discussed during engagement. We know that a good public place actually starts on the street.

Someone that hasn’t seen a calendar of events, an e-newsletter, or other important outreach should still be able to recognize that something interesting is happening in the park. Thanks to plenty of photos and tours, we were able to perform an Access and Visibility Study, as seen below.

An active and welcoming outer park is essential to the well-being of the inner park. Developing an identity strategy for the streets surrounding the South City Park will lead people from the surrounding areas into the Park.

Packet Pg. 523 Attachment: Redding South City Park Visioning Plan (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City 10 Project for Public Spaces – South City Park – Redding, CA 11 There is something unmistakably special
about a public space that fosters socialization.

When people see friends, meet and greet their
neighbors, and feel comfortable interacting with
strangers, they tend to feel a stronger sense of
space and attachment both to their community
and to the public space.

The success of a public space depends on
whether people find it comfortable and maintain
a positive image of it in their minds. This positive
perception includes considerations of safety,
cleanliness, and the availability of places to sit.

The importance of giving people the choice to
sit where they want cannot be overstated.

COMFORT & IMAGE SOCIABILITY
Activities are the basic building blocks of great
places: They are the reason why people visit in
the first place, and why they continue to return.

They are also what makes a place special or
unique. When there is nothing to do in a place, it
will sit empty and unused‚ a sure sign something
needs to change.

ACCESS & LINKAGES USES & ACTIVITIES
Access means how well a place is connected to
its surroundings, both visually and physically.

Accessible places are conveniently reached
on foot or by bike. Transit should be nearby
in communities that have it, and in those that
don’t, high-turnover parking can ensure access
without sacrificing the area parking facilities.

Packet Pg. 524 Attachment: Redding South City Park Visioning Plan (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City 12 Project for Public Spaces – South City Park – Redding, CA 13 is to keep it activated throughout the day, yearlong. We also discussed how the park could host Mission peer outreach and job placement
programs.

In multiple focus groups with neighbors, local
designers, and event planners, the conversation
focused on activity and the need for recreation
storage. While they want a host of sports for all
ages, the groups didn’t see enough demand to
maintain the number of existing tennis courts
and that some of this space could be relined
for growing sports like pickleball. They also
mentioned the desire to see more use of Tiger
Field outside of the Colt .45s’ season. West
Redding Little League also told us that Tiger
Field could host older Little League divisions
like Juniors and Majors, which would then open
up K1, K2, and K3 to more younger play which
has overwhelming demand. In discussing the
need for a destination playground, they also
pointed out that there needs to be shade,
plenty of seating for guardians, bathrooms, and
potentially a water feature or mister to combat
those hot days. Many people also mentioned the
need for something iconic, or “Insta-worthy”, to
symbolize South City Park. Some recalled the old
carousel or the hope for a unique identity with
public art.

In talking with Parks and Recreation, we heard
that there is great demand and not enough
space for summer camps. Camps with staff
can be great eyes and constant users of the
park. Library staff also see need for more teen/
after-school age programming. There are also
many homeschooling families that could move
between the library and the park.

We also discussed the events and programming
that is missing in Redding. Neighbors are
looking for more games for twenty-somethings
like blanket bingo, cornhole tournaments, or
fitness classes. There was also lamenting for a
loss of accessible plug-n-play venues for high
school bands and other young artists. The
community was especially inspired by the work
of Shasta Living Streets’ Streets Lab’s programs
and yearn for an ongoing Fall Fest and other
recurring seasonal events, as well as markets
and beerfests. The McConnell Foundation also
focused on a desire for the park to be able to
serve the community beginning as kids and
continuing throughout their lives. They also
brought up need for a multi-use building, a
desire heard throughout many of our meetings.

They suggested it have movable walls to open
up more or less depending on need or weather.

They shared that there are a lot of people that
want to practice and participate in messy art. It
could also serve as an event space, fair/market
space, winter activation, and protection from
the heat. In later meetings including Healthy
Shasta and the Farmers Market, we expanded
the needs to include space for prepared food
classes or vendors.

Across the board, people we talked to remarked
that the park was not very accessible. It is
unclear how to enter as a pedestrian or biker,
or where to leave a bike. In a meeting including
CalTrans, Shasta Living Streets, and Chief of
Staff to State Senator Dahle, we discussed
the problems in the park’s edges. Many routes
to the park lack sidewalks on one side or are
too narrow for even one person to pass just
one other without stepping onto the busy, fast
car lane. There is also not a safe pedestrian
crossing from the Safeway side of the street
or downtown, nor is their a bike lane. These
obstacles create a “dangerous freeway feel”
around the entire park which makes it hard to
be a neighborhood park. In meeting with library
staff, they also remarked that there is not a
good flow from library to park wherever you
come in.
12 Since the City Council approved a thorough community process to address the future of South City Park in November 2021, the Community Services Department has launched a series of engagements. Three open houses were conducted — two inperson and on-site, and another over Zoom. Community Services led discussions and used pop-up boards to collect the priorities of the community. They also created an online survey in order to reach greater numbers than were able to be heard or were unable to attend open houses. From December 1 - January 19, the public survey collected over 1,300 responses. Results highlighted the difficulty in accessing the Park by foot or bike and the perception of safety currently lacking for many.

FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS
Project for Public Spaces’ site visit in February 2022 included two full days of focus groups and interviews. These discussions allowed us to understand what is missing in the community and what already exists to build off of, as well as a good background in how South City Park was used in the past, the nostalgia the community holds for the park, and its fencing three years ago.

These engagements also helped increase awareness of the project and understanding of the work needed to include the community in program planning of the new South City Park.

PPS began the focus group series with representatives from Good News and Redding Police. Before the park was fenced, there was a large amount of camping in the park by unhoused people. To prevent this from occurring again, the park plans to close the gates at night. The desire for safety was very prevalent during conversations with the community, and this is because they do not feel safe when they see the number of homeless in the parking lot and near the library now. A lawn area along Parkview Avenue where a group hangs out is especially discouraging to potential library and park users. While clients at Good News Rescue Mission have to leave campus during the day, Mission staff and the police began discussing the idea of using a potential micro site shelter as a day center. This space could include picnic tables, shade, recharge stations, and serve as a relocated food drop-off from the library in a place where they can feel comfortable. When South City Park is reopened, activity throughout the day will very likely deter the homeless. The best way to keep the park usable for all members of the community Engagement

Goals and Opportunities
Redding has a unique opportunity for South City
Park to become a catalyst for strengthening
and building the entire community. With the
broad and innovative thinking of Redding’s city
government, an involved and caring citizenry
and several strategically located community
destinations nearby, South City Park could
become an inspiration for defining a new role
for parks in the city. This new role puts the
urban park at the forefront of the city’s civic
spaces and goes beyond viewing it as a purely
recreation facility.

South City Park is uniquely poised for this new
role -- it has within its boundaries a baseball
field, bocce courts, tennis courts, a basketball
court, walkways, and open grassy areas for
picnicking, sitting, and other informal uses.

Directly adjacent to the park are the Redding
Library and Tiger Field along with plenty of
parking. The park is near two residential
neighborhoods and only a short distance from
revitalizing downtown Redding. In addition,
Redding City Hall with its ample grounds is just
two blocks away.

Taken separately, each of these places offer
little more than a single experience to potential
visitors and users. With some thoughtful
renovation, and strategic replacement of
underused facilities with uses that would attract
families, and other users throughout the day,
South City Park could provide a special and
meaningful “park” experience of several hours
or more.

To create this type of experience would
mean that the Library, Tiger Field, the park,
and City Hall would function together to
expand and enrich the place. Some of the
ideas that came out of the community
engagement process in the park suggested
certain first steps to consider. For example,
there was an idea to develop a multi-use light
structure or community pavilion in the park
for performances, markets, and community
celebrations. Another was that the parks
department would work to better connect
the park and library by offering an expanded
outdoor space for library programming in the
park and linking existing programs, such as
story time, to the benefit of both library and
park.

There are also improvements to be made to the
park that would attract families with children,
youth, and seniors. For example, the existing
walking path could be connected around the
park and signed with distance markers to make
it into a continuous loop, underused courts
could be re-purposed to other games to attract
more users, the site of the former play area
could be developed for other uses. There are
many other ideas that were raised during the
community engagement and will be explored in
the vision for re-developing South City Park.

This vision starts with the central idea that if the
park is to become a vital and active community
destination, it needs to attract a critical mass
of people throughout the day, and it needs to
be thought of broadly and in conjunction with
various other uses and potential programming
partners.

Power of 10+
A great destination has at least 10 places within it, each with 10 things to do.

The Power of 10+ is a concept that highlights the importance of having multiple interrelated uses and spaces across various scales – starting from a micro-place up to parkwide, neighborhood and even city-wide scale. This means that it is not enough to have just one great place in South City Park — a number of them are needed to create a truly lively destination.

Any great place itself needs to offer at least 10 things to do or 10 reasons for people to be there.

These could be very simple and include a place to sit, a playground to play in, a garden to enjoy, art to contemplate, games to play, music to hear, food to eat, history to experience, and people to meet.

Ideally, some of these activities would be unique to South City Park and interesting enough to keep people coming back. The people who use the place most regularly are the best source of ideas for what uses are needed and desired.

The Power of 10+ offers a clear framework that not only helps examine existing places and prioritize places for improvement but can motivate residents and a variety of partners to take action. This approach shows that by starting efforts at the smallest scale big things can be accomplished. The concept also provides tangible goals to strive for and helps organize the re-development efforts as we envision a busy, dynamic, and enjoyable South City Park.

A SETTING FOR FESTIVALS, CELEBRATIONS AND

SPECIAL EVENTS
There is interest from stakeholders and
residents to see the park become a site for
festivals, celebrations and community events,
with events that build off Colt 45 games, but
also ones that bring in new audiences and
activities. Existing ample parking nearby, along
with the fence around the park making it a
venue that could host ticketed events, but also
a space where parents with children can enjoy
event activities, knowing their kids can run
around in a protected environment. In the short
term, events can be hosted here using portable
equipment - stage, lights, port-a-potties, etc.

In the long-term, hosting could center on a
potential outdoor stage area attached to the
community pavilion with necessary power
and water supply for outdoor performances,
events, and festivals. This could fill the need for
an accessible venue for teen bands and young
emerging artists, as well as a highlight event for
the reemergence of Market Fest and outdoor
jazz and blues festivals.

AN ACTIVE MULTI-GENERATIONAL PLACE FOR

RECREATION AND SOCIALIZING
In order to be successful, South City Park needs
to expand its purpose beyond active sports, and
offer opportunities for self-directed recreation
and socializing. Existing sports and games
courts should be re-considered to encourage
regular daily use, and create a setting for more
spontaneous activities and uses that reflect the
interests and needs of the community. Adding
to the existing (mostly senior) audiences for
bocce and pickleball, South City Park could also
attract youth and teens with programming,
opportunities for self-directed learning and
recreation, and a place to be social.

When successful, such multi-generational
places have their own “organic” life and a true
sustainability that stems from the social capital
and relationships built between the people
in the community — from club members and
Major Themes
Key qualities will guide activation efforts and become
hallmarks of the new South City Park
The community engagement process, including
the focus groups and interviews conducted by
Project for Public Spaces, as well as the survey,
open house, and pop-up led by the Community
Services Department, generated an exciting
number of ideas, comments, reminiscences
and recommendations. We also heard and
acknowledge concerns about certain challenges
for the park, and its surroundings. Outlined
below are some of the major themes that can
help organize program ideas, design concepts,
and practical solutions to challenges.

A UNIQUE (URBAN) PARK EXPERIENCE NEAR

DOWNTOWN REDDING
The City of Redding already has a robust and
successful system of city parks that are well
loved and well used by residents. Many of these
parks are larger, and boast spectacular natural
features, as well as high quality community and
recreational facilities and programs. While South
City Park doesn’t offer unique natural features,
it has the potential to offer a unique urban
park experience in proximity to downtown.

Many of the participants in the engagement
process had fond memories of using the park
when they were young as a place to play and
relax. Capitalizing on its location, the park
needs an update that will revive this urban park
experience but with renewed features and
contemporary attractions. For this strategy to
work, the park should be focused on supporting
a mix of programs and activities that will keep
bringing users throughout the day, the week,
and the year. The key to restoring the park to its
former importance as a community destination
is making it into a welcoming place for families
once again. Destination play, comfortable
restrooms, exciting programming for all ages,
are all elements to be considered.

OFFER FOOD AND COMFORT
In the words of William “Holly” Whyte, “If you
want to seed a place with activity, put out food”.

Many of the world’s most successful parks
anchor activity and economic opportunity
around food offerings. Whether a simple café, a
sit-down restaurant, or an ice cream cart, food
is in high demand in city parks. Since this area
of town has limited food options, stakeholders
felt that offering simple food options at a
community pavilion, or in a food truck or cart,
would be key to attracting people to renovated
South City Park. The success of this type of
offer depends very much on attracting enough
customers to make this a good place for
business. Developing a food offer in the park
may start with Italian ice in the afternoon when
kids come to the park after school, or with
morning coffee timed with the library’s story
time. Food vendors could also be given a priority
for larger events and festivals if they are willing
to be in the park on regular weekends. Food truck in Indianapolis, IN A stage at Madison Square Park‘s Big

Native plants help absorb stormwater

The Recharge Station is a kiosk and a social environment in Times Square designed by PPS and operated by peer from Fountain House that connects people experiencing homelessness to services.

Major Themes (Cont.)
The community engagement process highlighted the most
important issues to address
league players who host and participate in park
activities, to groups who simply contribute with
their regular presence and engagement. While
active programming will always be needed in
the space, the park could become once again
a place where neighbors meet for community
gatherings, friends bring picnics, teens hang out
and dog owners set up dog play-dates.

SUSTAINABILITY
The park has a significant number of mature
trees that should be preserved as much as
possible, and only replaced if the health of the
tree is in question. The park is already a green
environment that provides natural shade.

There is also an opportunity to add color and
excitement to the landscape by adding seasonal
landscaping and colorful plantings at key areas
like the main gateway, and near buildings. An
It is clear that in its existing state South City
Park has some challenges. The community
engagement process, including surveys, focus
groups and interviews highlighted the most
important issues discussed below.

MAKING THE PARK A SAFE PLACE
Safety, and the perception of safety, were the
number one concern for survey respondents,
residents and various stakeholders. From a
placemaking perspective, making a place feel
safe and welcoming is a key prerequisite for
any type of improvement. To learn more about
the safety conditions in the park we spoke
with representatives of the Redding Police
Department (RPD), Department of Community
Services, Redding Library, park workers, and
the Good News Rescue Mission. We understand
that the community’s concerns about safety are
mostly driven by worries about people camping
and living in the park, a situation that in 2019 led
to the park being fenced off, and access limited
emphasis on native tree and plant species
both in and around the park (i.e. trees, grasses,
plants) can provide opportunities to connect
to the surrounding environment and create a
stronger physical link to the library. Plantings,
like vines on trellises or on the sides of buildings,
can be added to reduce re-radiated heat from
any hard surfaces in the park. Beyond these
more direct benefits, plants and trees are an
opportunity to cultivate stewardship in the park
with volunteer watering programs and tree
planting initiatives. To accommodate increasing
concerns about stormwater management, a
mix of rain gardens and bioswales should be
applied to key areas in the park and the adjacent
parking areas. These plantings will also help
offset the urban heat island effect, and help
with cooling in the summer months.
as a temporary measure. The COVID pandemic
has extended this temporary situation, and
the City of Redding is now determined to
simultaneously improve the park and address
safety concerns.

While solving the challenges of homelessness
in Redding is beyond the purview of this
placemaking effort, a set of strategies was put
forward to make the park safer and prevent
camping. RPD, the Good News Rescue Mission,
and other partners are working to provide
people experiencing homelessness with a
safe, welcoming and attractive place to spend
time during the day that is not the park, or the
parking lot between the library and the park. The
location, still being finalized, will offer amenities
such as picnic tables, shade and restrooms,
along with social services, meals, and other
supportive programs to people in need. At the
same time, the renovated South City Park will
offer activities and amenities to everyone in

Overcoming Challenges (Cont.)
Redding, but camping in the park will not be
allowed. South City Park, like any other public
space, will be made safer by attracting more
users to the space throughout the day, the week
and the seasons. The best way to make the park
feel safe is to make it attractive to everyone. To
have people in the park who take care of the
space, mediate conflicts, know each other, and
keep an eye out for each other.

In order for South City Park to be transformed
into the great community destination it has the
potential to be, the park will need to address
several other challenges that are linked to the
need to make it feel safe.

A CONSTANT PRESENCE IN THE PARK
The surest way to enhance programming and
keep the park safe is provide for a constant
management presence in the park. While the
Parks Department doesn’t have the capacity
to assign a manager solely devoted to the park
at present, this may be a goal to pursue in the
future. For starters, the Parks Department, RPD,
Urban Park Rangers, and various programming
partners will need to carefully coordinate their
efforts to make sure that the park is not left
unattended. This will be particularly important
for the initial months after re-opening, as
the park establishes its regular users and
regular programs. The potential for a direct

A NEED FOR A CRITICAL MASS OF USERS
First, the park will need to attract a critical
mass of users in order to become attractive
to everyone. This can be achieved with a very
intentional, closely monitored, and carefully
curated program of uses that focuses on
bringing specific audiences to the park at
different times of the day.

For example, mothers and caregivers with small
children should be attracted by a destination
play feature paired with educational and art
programming that links to library Story Time.

Seniors coming to play pickleball would also
be encouraged to come to the park in the
morning. A coffee cart could offer everyone
drinks and snacks. In the afternoon, older kids
and after school classes would be hanging out
in the teen area, working on robotics and art
projects, while the bocce league members meet
for a tournament in the late afternoon, and
dog owners bring the pets to the dog park for
their afternoon run. In the evening the entire
community would come together for movies on
the lawn with popcorn and beer provided by a
local brewery.

Right now this perfect day in the park sounds
unlikely, as existing amenities and programs do
not support this mix of uses. The need to create
a strong and diverse program requires that the
park goes beyond its current focus on organized
sports. This doesn’t mean that the K1 field will
not be an important element of the park, or that
Tiger Field will not be drawing visitors during
game season. It means that other activities are
needed to seed the park with life, and they will
need to be supported.
linkage to the Redding Library offers additional
opportunities, as well as engaging existing
programming partners who are already doing
great work in the community such as Shasta
Living Streets. Investing in South City Park’s
revitalization means investing in management
and programming as well as in capital
improvements.

IMPROVING ACCESS AND SOFT-MODES OF

TRANSPORTATION
Throughout the community engagement
process, in surveys, focus group discussions,
and interviews the challenges of improving
access to the park kept popping up. Everyone
agrees that walking and bicycle connections to
the park from the surrounding neighborhoods
and from downtown leave a lot to be desired.

We understand that CalTrans is planning some
crosswalks and pedestrian improvements
to S. Market Street (SR 273) as part of their
“Complete Streets” program, which are slated
for implementation in 2028. Advocates, however,
feel proposed improvements are insufficient,
and connections to the residential neighborhood
west of SR 273 need to be addressed with
a stronger vision. Other solutions, including
temporary crossings and pedestrian/bicycle
routes, should be pursued by the city to ensure
that neighbors, and youth can safely get to the
park.

Another challenge related to access is the
need for a clear, safe and welcoming vehicular
gateway into the park that puts Redding’s moms
at ease as they approach. Further in this report
we make recommendations regarding creating
a gateway on Grape Avenue, but a secondary
gateway on Parkview could also be considered,
especially if the safety strategy goes forward.

In Bryant Park, maintenance staff serve also as
park ambassadors, providing information and
constant care.

Concepts that arose during engagement and the importance of mixing programming with self-led activity
The placemaking process identified the types and mix of programming elements that would attract people to the renovated park on a regular basis through in-depth community engagement.

Proposed destinations within the park are defined through their function, character, and essential amenities that would support use and enjoyment. These destinations are described in the following pages.

TAXONOMY OF ACTIVITIES
When we build our communities around places, it is not enough to have one single use dominate a particular place— we need a diverse array of activities and programs for a variety of people. A carefully chosen range of activities will help a place attract a variety of people at different times of the day. A playground will draw young kids during the day, while a climbing wall will draw older kids after school, and concerts bring everyone together during the evening. These special events are also great at introducing people to the Park that will grow more comfortable in coming more regularly for self-led activation.

POWER OF 10+
The renovated South City Park endeavors to become a more successful park, it needs unique subplaces within it, each with a number of activities to engage people on a regular basis. Some of these activities are very simple – relax in the shade, play on the playground, watch other people, experience art, play sports or games, study, etc. Cumulatively, simple activities, sub-places and micro-destinations will make the great park the South City Park is poised to be.

Based on this concept and using the collaborative placemaking process, PPS has identified eight potential different destinations or sub-places within the new park, each with its own function, character, and purpose.

OVERALL CHARACTER AND USE
Developing an access and gateway strategy for the streets leading to the park - Grape Avenue, Parkview Avenue, S.

Market Street and Cypress Avenue - is key to transforming South City Park into a place that is welcoming to families and youth. While improving pedestrian and bicycle access is a longer term challenge, we understand that CalTrans is planning improvements to S. Market Street as part of their complete streets program. These improvements should
include safe ways for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the street close to the park. In addition, stakeholders were excited about the opportunity to create pedestrian and
bicycle connections to trails that go to the river, and other city parks.

Assembling a set of gateway features that will link the park to the Library and Tiger Field, and further afield to City Hall, and Safeway, will help make the park welcoming to all. There are two key outer gateway locations that need to be addressed - the intersection of Parkview Avenue
and the park driveway adjacent to the library and the
intersection of Grape Avenue and the park driveway along Tiger Field. While the Parkview Avenue location needs
special care and consideration for the needs of the people spending time there, the Grape Avenue gateway could be
prioritized for improvement right away.

A gateway treatment at this location could include
colorful planters, branded flags and banners with
language developed to be specific to the Park, and inviting directional signage. There is also an opportunity for a mural on Grape Avenue, potentially on the Tiger Field wall or on the ground at the intersection to achieve a strong sense of arrival and excitement. Focus group participants recommended involving the community in painting murals, and including teen art students.

Landscaping, murals, and signage can help
create a gateway into the park.

Packet Pg. 533 Attachment: Redding South City Park Visioning Plan (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City 30 Project for Public Spaces – South City Park – Redding, CA 31 Park Entrances and Walkways

OVERALL CHARACTER AND USE
The park already has multiple entry points, which
unfortunately are not all functional at the moment. The entrance leading to the existing basketball court should be designated as the main entrance, and enhanced to
provide wayfinding, explain the schedule of events and
programming, and share information regarding court and
field uses and new park destinations. The main entry point should be an obvious meeting and gathering place with
comfortable seating, bike racks, plantings or planters, and art displays on the fence. The secondary entrance by Tiger Field should be signed appropriately to avoid confusion.

Until pedestrian crossings are improved, the entrance
ramp on S. Market Street should remain closed, while the entrance off Cypress Avenue could be managed with a
lock pad to serve the proposed dog park.

Signage identifying park destinations will also be needed throughout the park, and along the main walkways. Most
notably, the walkway along the S. Market Street wall can be completed in a full loop around the park and signed
with distance markers for walking and jogging. The new
sections needed to close the loop could be surfaced
not with asphalt but with a softer, permeable material
like compacted gravel to make for safer running and
outdoor gym exercise equipment added to complete the
experience. Interactive story trails that including “choose your own adventure” activities could also be conceived in the park with the help of Library staff.

Examples of entrance, landscaping, and
signage creating a strong sense of arrival and
direction.

Packet Pg. 534 Attachment: Redding South City Park Visioning Plan (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City 32 Project for Public Spaces – South City Park – Redding, CA 33 Destination Play

OVERALL CHARACTER AND USE
A major audience that the renovated park would seek
to attract is families and mothers with children. The
proximity to the library, which has a small reading garden and offers special programming for kids is a big asset for achieving this connecting library and park both physically and programmatically. Another element of this effort,
mentioned by many in the engagement process, is the
opportunity to install an exciting new play feature that would be a unique destination in Redding. High quality
contemporary play equipment should be coupled with
ample comfortable seating for caregivers and parents,
new restrooms, shade, and potentially some opportunities for water play, such as a splash pad, a sprinkler or another simple water feature.

A new play area, with its additional amenities, is an
opportunity to think of family experiences for kids
of various ages. The park could offer engagement
opportunities that go beyond play equipment and
organized sports, through learning, arts, STEM and other programs in concert with the library. It is also worth
considering some multi-use amenities and play equipment for older children, such as seating areas or climbing
structures, for pre-teens to hang out and socialize, while their family is at the playground with younger siblings.

Destination play offer a variety of
features as in examples from Aspen
and Houston.

Packet Pg. 535 Attachment: Redding South City Park Visioning Plan (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City 34 Project for Public Spaces – South City Park – Redding, CA 35 A Flexible Multi-Use Community Pavilion

OVERALL CHARACTER AND USE
Inviting families to the park will not be possible without some additional amenities, such as shade, a nice
restroom, a place to get a drink of water, etc. During
the engagement process many participants mentioned
the need and opportunity to build a flexible community
pavilion. This light structure could offer restrooms, space for community events and celebrations, an outward
facing stage for park performances, potentially a catering kitchen, and a flexible space to accommodate seasonal
markets, arts and crafts fairs, and other community
events. The structure was envisioned as an indoor/
outdoor space with rolling “garage-type” doors that make it a mostly open pavilion in the summer months, and an
enclosed space for events and activities in winter.

The pavilion would also serve as an anchor for local
festivals like Paesano Days, or Thursday Market Fest,
which many remember fondly. It could host smaller events, similar to those curated and organized by Shasta Living Streets’ Streets Lab downtown.

Examples of flexible pavilions from NYC and
Seattle.

OVERALL CHARACTER AND USE
This flexible transitional space would be covered, but still feature outdoor seating and an outdoor stage attached
to the community pavilion. Accessible from the outside
even when the pavilion building is closed, the stage would offer access to power and water supply for outdoor
performances, and events, and for impromptu activities.

Somewhat sheltered from the elements, the space can
also be a back-up venue for outdoor activities such as
exercise, classes, arts, small gatherings, and library
programs in the park.

A key feature of the outdoor stage function should be its accessibility and “plug and play” option. Participants in the placemaking engagement spoke about the design to
offer a simple venue for young musicians and local garage bands to perform to small youth audiences, as low barrier to play venues have disappeared in Redding.

OVERALL CHARACTER AND USE
While the park is green and has mature trees, in its existing condition it lacks a destination lawn space that is easily identifiable. A clearly defined flexible lawn space, using existing grass, with some small amenities can offer the proverbial park lawn experience. The lawn would be
the place for picnics and gatherings, yard games, and
tournaments such as corn hole tournaments, which were
mentioned by stakeholders. It could be a great place for summer camps in great demand in Redding. The lawn
would also be the viewing area for the outdoor stage/
covered porch allowing for audiences to watch movies,
performances, music, etc. It would also be the main
location in good weather for outdoor exercise classes
such as yoga, zumba, boot camp, etc. Other than a well
maintained lawn, the area should offer moveable chairs, or lawn chairs, as well as various lawn game sets for people to use. It would also be a prime location for informal play like hula hoops, soap bubbles, or imagination play.

Corn hole toss, outdoor movies and
imagination play are just a few of the many
uses of the flex lawn.

OVERALL CHARACTER AND USE
During the placemaking engagement we heard from
pickleball and bocce players eager to take better
advantage of the renovated bocce courts, and the existing tennis courts. In the short term, repurposing some or all of the existing tennis courts for pickleball could ensure that a larger number of users get to enjoy the space.

In the long term moving and reporposing courts would
also connect the growing pickleball player community
of Redding to the park, while alleviating the demand for pickleball courts in other city parks. Converting the tennis courts to multipurpose courts could allow for tennis play to continue, while adding other games like pickleball,
volleyball, futsal, and handball. The courts area including the existing tennis courts and bocce courts would be the focal point for other sports and exercise programs for
kids and adults. The area includes the existing restrooms, which are serviceable but will ultimately need to be
upgraded with new facilities potentially in the community pavilion. The restroom structure could then be adapted for storage and park maintenance.

OVERALL CHARACTER AND USE
Making South City Park an attraction for families, and
a multi-generational place means offering a space and
programs for youth – tweens, and early teens – besides
organized sports. The City of Redding has great resources for organized sports, and we learned a lot about all the baseball and softball opportunities for children and youth.

The existing K1 field will continue to support the needs of young players, and programmatic connections with
Tiger Field will build excitement. However, we see here an opportunity to diversify activities for kids and youth that will build off the destination play, and various park and library programs in an area intended for youth. This area could take advantage of the change of grade and the wall along S. Market Street with uses like a climbing wall, a chalk art wall, seating & climbing element specifically for kids 10 or older, ping pong tables, etc. Additional programs could be offered for this age group like bike repair, and a maker corner or workshop area for robotics and remotecontrolled cars potentially spearheaded by the Library, which is developing its maker space and maker resources.

Examples of youth play and activities including
climbing, games, and maker programs.

OVERALL CHARACTER AND USE
While there are some concerns about bringing dogs
into the park, responsible dog owners and their pets
make excellent park users as they tend to use dog areas regularly and in all weather. If dog use is deemed desirable, South City Park could offer a fenced dog run, with some agility course elements, seating for dog owners, and
opportunities for people and their dogs to socialize.

Conflicts between dogs and family use, which were
mentioned in the stakeholder discussions, should be
minimized by locating the dog park away from other
activities, and potentially encouraging the use of the
secondary park entrance off Cypress Avenue.

Dog parks offer simple exercise equipment for
pets and plenty of space for dogs and their
owners to socialize, including seating.

Packet Pg. 541 Attachment: Redding South City Park Visioning Plan (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City 46 Project for Public Spaces – South City Park – Redding, CA 47

CONCEPTUAL AND SCHEMATIC DESIGN
Improving South City Park will require further
evolving the ideas outlined in this initial
placemaking vision. This includes exploring
design issues and opportunities, creating
conceptual alternatives and studying in detail
the location and co-location of existing and
proposed destinations and building within the
park, infrastructure needs and limitations.

Preliminary cost estimates and the best way of
phasing improvements will also be needed.

ACTIVATION PLAN AND MANAGEMENT

STRATEGY
A careful and realistic program of activities and
strong activation plan will be key to success.

Activation planning will necessitate delving
deeper into programming opportunities and
partner capacities. The focus will help build a
full calendar of events, and explore the park
experience throughout the day, the week and
the seasons.

This level of program development is linked
to developing strategies for managing and
maintaining the park not only to keep it safe
and welcoming but to sustain higher levels of
programming. These strategies may entail
obtaining commitments from programming
partners and securing funding streams from a
variety of sources.

Packet Pg. 543 Attachment: Redding South City Park Visioning Plan (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City February Focus Group Notes
South City Park Redding, CA
Park Worker
Informal with Jim
● People feel nostalgia for this park the way it used to be ● Park infrastructure is old – old restrooms, old irrigation system ● Some of the trees are old and should be replaced but we want to keep the tree cover and even add more trees
● A new basketball court will attract kids, an active area like Enterprise Park Good News + Redding Police
Matt Rivas, Dir of Operations, Good News Rescue Mission Jonathan Anderson, Exec Dir, Good News Rescue Mission
Bill Schueller, police chief
● We need to fill the park with activities, the park was struggling before, not a lot for people to do.
● Perception prevents more people from coming to the area; belief that other visitors won’t want to come in if they have to go past the homeless at the space by the library o There was illegal illicit drug activity and overdoses here in the past o There was never a lot of crime, mostly substance abuse and mental health issues
o We need to find a solution to the library gateway crowding/hanging out, that puts people off; the majority of those hanging out by the library (not at the library) have problems with drugs and mental health;
o The people at/inside the library are the most vulnerable, they don’t feel safe at the camps
● Prevent camping
o Fence will be kept closed at night to prevent camping o Fill with activity so people won’t want to camp here
o Could create activity or fencing there to prevent people from camping off park view though they may move to front
o Two police as park rangers will soon be operating out of office nearby for here and a couple other parks; downtown bike team coming soon o Day center
▪ Good News was planning on creating a Day Center until covid came ▪ Right now clients have to leave campus during the day ▪ Micro shelter is in the works down by city hall and creek - Could make that space a destination day shelter for them instead - Picnic tables, shade, and recharge stations
- No beds and lock up at night that can have good news and crisis interaction staff to interact with them and make a safe space for them; have people drop off food there instead of here
- Could use our Atlanta and Times Sq examples as case studies Packet Pg. 544 Attachment: Redding South City Park Visioning Plan (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City ● What is the demographic of the people who were camping here/hang out at the library? o This is a population that doesn’t participate in Mission programs o Overall population is mixed, some ppl with extreme substance abuse issues; people with extreme mental health problems
o A lot more men about 70%
o Generational cycle of poverty, 80% of ppl (at the Mission?) are already on public assistance
o Children with high ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) score, arrested development (in adolescents), early age substance abuse + other childhood mental health and trauma problems
● Who are the homeless in this area?
o At night some now go to Mission or camp
o There are a lot of people with mental health issues that don’t have desire/ability to utilize Good News’ programs
o The parks workers are often the ones talking to them about what they can and can’t do, if they have to move
o Pathways to housing, Hartman house, just opened named for someone that used to be homeless here at the park and very well known in community, he passed from covid
● How can we positively engage people experiencing homelessness in the park? o Use volunteers or peers to reach out to these groups
o Outreach from mission volunteers in the park/ and from case workers that are not related to the mission.
o Mission might be able to have funding for a couple people to run mission at their site outdoors during the day; outreach in the park or at potential micro destination site
o MUSIC, 1/3 play piano very well!
o Outdoor coffee, Free or cheap coffee, people like drinking coffee and socializing o Allow people to be here with their dogs
o Use our Atlanta and Times Sq case studies
o Many artists and musicians, ppl love music, and love performing, 10 pianos? o Games that engage people
o Set clear rules and enforce them – the folks hanging out by the library and not at mission don’t like structure, the lack of rules draws them o Should not allow tents, sack lunch distribution, no sleeping bags/sleeping in the park
● How might social service agencies work with the city to provide services & economic opportunities to your stakeholders / clientele:
o Job training and placement?
i. They have done some clean up jobs around the library in the past; pick up chairs etc
ii. There are job training opportunities and the people that want it have it through good news already, plenty of openings but perception that people that hang out here don’t want it
o Peer counseling training and placement?
i. Had hired someone that used to be homeless to work as peer worker and point of contact
● What social / structural / systemic barriers limit the provision of services? o Biggest probs are case management and transitional housing o Trying to buy capri hotel for supportive housing which has case management, Packet Pg. 545 Attachment: Redding South City Park Visioning Plan (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City i. This is supposed to be state responsibility but the city is taking care of a lot of it lately
o Generational cycle of poverty, grew up on gov welfare o Adverse childhood experiences; start using drugs before 10yo o People can’t afford to be housed on disability if they also have a drug issue o You also may have to work not enough hours to survive or lose insurance o Not enough mental health treatment; ongoing case management is needed; everything centered around relationships to get engaged and stay in program ● Scale of mission, in covid year so lighter
o Serve 160000 meals
o Med, dental, mental health, job readiness, education programs o Long term drug and alcohol support
o College readiness partner with Shasta College; they can stay with them while studying and even during job, money management
o There are amazing programs available for those that want it, but not everyone does
o Currently all privately funded but looking to also start grant applications ● People that don’t go
o No specific demographic, its everybody
o Extreme drug or alcohol, mental problems, problems with authority o Maybe more men
● Desired park features:
o Theme days – special events
o Full day of activities—
i. Morning – pickle ball, tennis, bocce, destination play, dog area ii. Evening – bocce, concerts, festivals
o Pavilion for community events
o Destination play with nice bathrooms

I run Special Olympics up here, and many of our
athletes ride the city bus
I use all these methods to get to the park
I use my car to go to parks outside of my
neighborhood, but could and would bike to this
one. It's just difficult to get to by bike with my
kids crossing 273.

I would love to bike or walk to the parks but I
worry about both my own safety and the safety
of my bike if I were to leave it anywhere in the
park.

I would LOVE to bike with my family but there
are not very many bike lanes in Redding and it
doesn't feel safe to take my kids...yet! Hoping
for more bike friendly roads in Redding!
I would love to walk, but there are not any
parks in walking distance from my house
I would use any of the above options, aside

walking if the park is close otherwise driving
Walking is fine, but the weather is a factor, if
the heat of Redding is high, then it's a car w/AC;
same in cold weather. Too fearful of traffic on a
bike. RABA takes too long.

Walking would be better if there was access to
the trail closer to my house.
want better buffers between bikes and cars
We bike when the park is close enough.

We live off Rancho Rd so can only walk or bike
to Kids Kingdom which we do but enjoy driving
to parks in other areas often as well.

8. Is there something we missed?
**cking leave it ALONE!!!
1) Small soccer fields (with or without small
goals) would be likely to bring people to the
area. 2) Perhaps a place for inexpensive food
sales carts, ice cream carts, etc. would be useful
for events or for summer time when a water
play area is being used.
9 hole disc golf
A baseball field can be used for many purposes
meeting the needs of many.

A Community Scout House is a need in city for
our local Girl and Boy Scout Troops to have
access to meeting spaces.

A dog play area.

A new Skatepark pleaseeee for this side of
town, alot of me and my friends don't have
access to the other side of town where the
skatepark is.

A permanent structure like the one in the City
of Davis for beautiful farmer's market - one that
runs almost year round - increase our vendors
like the one in Davis
A place to lock bikes,a way to keep small kids
out of older kids way injury prevention,
security, trash cans
A small skatepark with just a few small
obstacles and a quarter pipe or a half pipe
would be a great way to offer the wonderful
world of skateboarding to the kids and people
on that side of town who live nearby. I think it
would be a great thing for people to do to keep
them active, motivated and give them
something bigger to work towards.

A well-designed indoor/outdoor space to be
used for artisans to display goods, somewhat
like a farmer's market...but also a maker's
space.

Absolutely need those tennis courts. Almost no
publicly available courts on the west side.

Access to this part for the garden tract and
kutras neighborhoods. It's a 25min walk to get
here but it's very unsafe crossing parkview,
athens, and cypress. Plus it doesn't feel safe
getting there with small children. Tie efforts
into redevelopment with the library and
farmers markets for more activities. Shade is
KEY.

Accessability
Actual solutions for the various niches of
homeless (seniors, mentally ill, working poor,
drug addicts) other than housing them in the
parks and along trails. Surely City leaders can
look to other areas that have successfully
housed these varied populations. One size
doesn't fit all but we could do much better
ADA Accessibility
Adequate drinking fountains
Adequate parking
Affordable Housing to combat Bethel
overpopulation
An active park is a safe park. Since we know so
many homeless are in the area, it is important
to chose elements that do not attract them so
perhaps not a shade structure. Well lit walking
paths and adequate security lighting helps curb
nefarious activity. Open fields often get used as
off leash dog areas (incredibly gross as folks
rarely watch their pets to pick up feces).

An INDOOR RECREATION CENTER. We have
absolutely no spaces with the city to have an
indoor volleyball or sports game
An off-leash dog area for the 1,000 residents
who are in walking distance.

Anderson river park rocks. Free music,
awesome water park
Anything family friendly
aquatic park, swimming pools, water features
armed security guards
As long as the only place the homeless have to
access the internet is at the library, they will
continue to hang around there. Also, they use
the library as a place to get warm or cool off
depending on the weather.

Baseball field!!
Baseball is good choice with focus on female
softball.

Board Game tables - checkers, chess, etc.

Bocce ball (2)
BOCCE BALL COURT is a must
Bocce ball court, food truck area, dog park area,
dedicated place for farmers market
Bocce Ball Courts stay
Bocce ball or corn hole
Botanical Gardens or add in a Japanese Garden
there with Eastern Asian artwork
Bring the library into the planning!!
Build low cost housing there. Projects for the
druggies and homeless. Maybe that will get
them out of the waterways and green belts
where they threaten the tax payers with
uncontrolled fire and human waste.

Cannot think of anything

Kingdom.

coffee shop/kiosk, beer/wine

Concert Bandstand
Concerts, music and more music
Concessions/food/walking or workout space
Cool looking plants.. drought tolerant.

Cornhole Courts
Cornhole tournaments, horseshoes
Could there be pedestrian/bike access from all
sides of the park? Perhaps by gates that could
be locked at night if the fence stays? Ideally,
the park should be easily accessible by foot
to/from Safeway, Parkview Ave., and the
neighborhood directly to the west of it. Also,
rather than (or in addition to) a regular kids
playground, perhaps there could be one really
unique cool feature - say, a really fun zipline,
boardwalk or ropes course up in the trees that
spans from one side of the park to the other -
that is fun for people of all ages. Down below a
walking/jogging trail would also be great.

County resource center for the homeless. This

How to make this park safe should be number
1 I am 66. I played down there daily. Safely all
day long. Somehow we need that back. I know
a tough challenge.

I could not rank the design - Safety first,
Usability 2nd
I feel there should be some covered seating
areas in the park. Not for all the stands but
some.

I hope it doesn’t become just about sports. It
would be great to not fill it up with constant
sports events. Let’s open it up and have events
for everyone without it being focused on just
one area. We need some great leadership to
bring new experiences at a beautiful park.

I like that food truck parks have a "Hub" of
sorts. Similar to The Park. I like the idea of a
consistent concessions stand during event and
open hours of the park. It could be a good way
to generate income for ongoing park
maintenance.

I think a very cool playground would be great.

Something better than Kids Kingdom. We've
gone out of our way to go to parks that have
great playgrounds, and I think other families
would too. Once word gets out, people from
the outlining areas would go there. It could be
a pretty big draw for the city.

I was not able to move the characteristics to
where I wanted them. (Sorry) Here is my order:

Use/usabililty, Community, Good Design,
Nature and Safety. The others are not priorities
for me.

I would recommend a food hall to help
restauranterus get started, farmer's market,
locally sourced food products - Similar to
Oxbow in Napa
ice rink
If this area is swarming with homeless people
like the library it will be inaccessible like the
library has become to many families like mine.

In my opinion, there are already plenty of ball
fields in that area. Keep the fields that are
there.

Isn't there already baseball fields nearby? Need
to have options. A walking path or bicycle path
for littler kids is nice too.

It is absolutely mandatory that you do
something for the homeless who live in that
area. I have lived in ready and took my children
to that park in the 80s and the 70s and it has
really truly not ever been that safe. I also
worked right off the park In a little building and
I never felt safe working alone there
It might be nice to have the Saturday morning
farmers market in a park setting instead of a
concrete parking lot like it is currently. I went
to a farmer's market at a park in Whitefish, MT
and it was a much better setting for one. Thank
you!
It must be secular.

It would be awesome if you guys could build a
little skatepark. A ledge a rail and a mini ramp
at least!! Thank you!!!
Jogging/stroller footpath, gated playgrounds,
pet-friendly areas, ample parking for vehicles
and bikes
Just make sure you don't cut the old trees with
the beautiful canopy. And how will you make
sure it is safe night and day. And no camping etc
.

Keep the bocce courts
Keep the transient trash out.

Keeping it safe from transients
Law enforcement patrols. If you're going to
spend "tax payers" money, keep the "sh-t
birds" out.

Let our beautiful surrounding take center stage!
Literacy Park, fencing around the library
Maintained restrooms kept nice and open

Make everything accessible to others who are
differently abled.

fencing that is installed looks good, and it works
to keep the part safe.

More open baseball fields ⚾︕
More Picnic tables and seats
More sand and indoor volleyball arenas.
more than I can say!!!
More under 5 safe play areas
Move the library and turn that building into the
venue for weddings and events that can be
included in that park. Then it can be fully fenced
in for safety.

Music venue with specialty landscape. Look up

Packet Pg. 573 Attachment: Online Survey Open End Responses (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park) No, I would like to contribute comment..late
70's constant use for baseball, family members
involved, night games, great lighting, huge "net"
hung in back for fly balls, our family used park
four nights a week in summer; late 70's early
80's I would drop by to have lunch by tennis
courts, tennis courts always in use. The South
City Park is an integral part of family memories
for many in the community, I'm pleased this
healthy option will be available to families. In
our current times, the homeless are part of our
community and their needs being addressed
would be helpful for all...this could be a really,
big thing for Redding...kudos...

No. I think it can be a beautiful area if designed
for our younger community. I heard at a
baseball function about choosing a field over
water play area. Why do we have to choose?
There is plenty of space to have a ball park,
amphitheater, water play area, and playground.

Growing up I remember spending many hours
at the ball park and the playground was such a
huge piece of that. Who wouldn’t want to be
able to cool off at the water feature after
playing a long game in the 100 degree weather.

I know there is a dollar limit to every project,
but I also feel there is so much that area can
use. Right now it is a gated waste of space. We
only get to use it right now for the field which
my own child played from March until October
of this year. Unfortunately because of the light
situation we were not able to use it during Fall
Ball though.

NONE of this matters without safety and
thoroughly cleaning up the area. Whatever is
developed WILL NOT BE USED if the crime,
homeless, and drug issues aren’t dealt with
first.

Not a major factor, but an additional thought:
important for its usage that it have a clear
persona - name, signage, character, etc. - that
can be marketed. You can remember it on flyers
& websites as "Oh yea, that's THAT park; I know
how to get there; I went to that great event
there." Also: 1) use solar power when possible,
and 2) incorporate lessons, like the water park
could be a model of the river or Shasta Lake.

Nothing can happen until the issue of
homelessness is addressed. People are afraid
to take their kids to South City Park. A water
play area could easily be co-opted as a bathing
area.

Optional ice rink area or roller hockey
Outdoor exercise equipment for adults
Parks within COR are very limited (nonexistent?) for responsible dog owners. A dog agility training area such as Chico's would be a
welcome addition to this park. If you are
looking for more community members to be in
the park vs the "homeless" population, Look to
the dog owners. Look at the normal daily traffic
at Benton Dog Park as an example.

Perimeter walking path
Pet area
Pet friendly area
Pickleball courts should have lighting and cover
to keep out rain and allo year round play
despite weather.

Pickleball to double as hockey rink?
Picnic area
Picnic area with bbq access
Picnic tables
Picnic tables, reading spots for the library. Take
hints from Enterprise Park!
Play grounds for kids
Please do not create a homeless encampment.

Please.

Please do something about the homeless
people there. If there are homeless people
surrounding the park, it precludes families from
wanting to actually use the facilities.

Please keep the big old shade trees. We miss
using the tennis courts there! (at some point we
didn't feel safe using them anymore). Having an
outdoors extension of the library would be
great (such as area for story time and crafts,
young kids playground to visit on way to library,
etc). Water feature would be popular. Walking
trail/loop that links to sculpture park would be
great.

Private investment
Programming! Let's see some for youth

Some of the questions are difficult to
understand. Does this mean you could take out
baseball park, tennis court etc. or this would be
in addition.

Tennis and Pickleball courts can be the same.

Two different colors for court lines.

Thanking for addressing another lost jewel in
Redding.

The homeless and drug problems in the park
need to be resolved before investing any money
into renovations.

The homeless issue in that area needs to be
addressed. I always thought an indoor place
would be cool-indoor tennis courts, ice rink, etc
The outdoor amphitheater sound great! And
then schedule lots of events. All kinds plays,
music, and concerts A set walking path in and
around city all and south city park.

The ranking system is convoluted and not easy
to use. Why not just point and click?
The real issue, is the homeless problem, I never
take my kids to South City Park because there is
consistently used needles in the area. The
saddest thing going on here is that your
designing a park rather than keeping your
citizens safe.

The river brings a lot of birds to the area. If the
park featured more plants (especially native
flora like the gardens behind turtle bay), this
could become a great area for bird watching.

Especially accessible for older, disabled, or new
birders.

The surrounding areas are so beautiful. I would
want a safe place to walk my dog on Saturdays
Packet Pg. 575 Attachment: Online Survey Open End Responses (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park) after the farmer's market. The worry is the
homeless. I don't feel safe.

The thing that would be used the MOST would
be a small dog and large dog park. Benton dog
park is up a STEEP hill from there.

The transient population needs to be restricted
to enable safety for community to use area
There used to be a children's pool in the park.

Just a medium size pool for children. It was fun
to be able to splash and play while at the park.

There's nothing wrong with the park as it sits
and the money could be spent better.

This needs to be an area that is accessible for
families and events where people feel safe.

Also, add bocci to the list of adult/family
activities available.

This park is so dirty. I do not want my kids
playing baseball here.
this park won't be safe until we start giving
services to homeless people
Tons of water fountains, park should be be
open to all members of the public. The mission
will send volunteers to help clean, tons of trash
bins are needed, oversight and park security is a
must
Train ride
Trees!
Trike, bike, scooter area
Two multi-use baseball fields with portable
outfield fences that can convert to soccer or
flag football field could serve many different
needs. There are hundreds of youth in Redding
that love playing sports and its such a great way
to get kids off of screens and outside.

Unless you solve the homeless problem in this
area the park will never attract people no
matter how much money you spend on it.

We have the beginnings of a public art park.

Expand this with additional installations, a full
complement of visual art focused events and /
or festivals. Host the Renaissance Fair. Curated
art in the park for local artists...offer a citywide
public art tour brochure. Augment with world
class public art installations.

We need another baseball field
We need multi-use fields, particularly for
baseball and softball
We need to address the homeless in redding.

My kids cannot go to a park downtown without
me looking over the area for needles first. They
have resources, and places where they can get
help, please make our area safe and clean
whatever it is.

Wellness park; walk trail, pull up bars, quiet
space for yoga, tai chi.

Whatever is developed needs to support the
collegiate baseball program on Tiger Field, a
successful and community important program.

Wide walkway around the area for bikes and
walkers to share. Parking for pickleball, the

Wipe the homeless out of there
Wishing well
Yes you did miss something is this
redevelopment going to just turn into another
gathering place for the homeless because if
you're not going to do something to control
that issue I would rather not see My Tax Dollars
used for this.

Yes! It should NOT be a resource for homeless.

No one currently uses it due to drugs trash
homeless camp.

Yes. Indoor gym for volleyball and basketball 12
months a year access
Yes. This park had most of the things before the
city began screwing with it. Keep your hands off
our city wet lands too.

You definitely need to make sure that the park
is safe for the littles. So if that means rpd sits
there 24/7 then so be it.

You gave in to the whims of Rick Bosetti and
closed the park. It’s time for the city of Redding
to tell Mr Bosetti to pound sand. Do what is
best for the citizens of Redding. Not the self
centered firmer baseball player that doesn’t
give a damn for anyone other than himself.

You have to make the park safe- first and then
add these things. No one will come the way it isYou need to keep the homeless out for safety reasons. Make the park kid friendly and natural.

I like the name - it's historic and I have many

I love the original name.

I think it should be a community vote
I think it should be renamed because South City
Park has such a negative reputation due to the
homeless population. I'm just not sure what you
would rename it too.

I think it’s fine
I think name is fine. Just needs to have
reputation of park re-built.

I think that this is the least of the concerns. But
I’m not opposed to the idea.

I think the name should be kept. It has been a

yes -- south city park reminds everyone of

Yes (it sounds like that dumb show South Park)

Yes it needs a new name. No good ideas for
names
Yes it should be renamed. What I’m not
sure. But we have always been a community

yes on the name change: Library Park
Yes park.

Yes rebrand it
Yes rename, but unsure right now. Is there a
local hero we could name the park after?
Yes! Ask the people!
Yes! Hard to decide on the name. Shy away

Yes, perhaps "Respect Park"
Yes, Cypress park or Gold park? Maybe
something along with the nearby streets
Yes, after a local landmark. Just moved here so
dont know history.

Yes, anything but current name
Yes, Arboretum Park
Yes, because it has a bad wrap nowadays with
the transient population. (But Tiger Field has a
good reputation so maybe call it Tiger Park or
something like that )
Yes, but I am not sure of the best name.

Perhaps something relevant to it’s new

Packet Pg. 584 Attachment: Online Survey Open End Responses (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park) Are there any other concerns you have?
A courtyard for special events or a community garden would be nice to bring community and collaboration between residents.

A good safe family park cannot include drug and alcohol abusers, rude, violent and aggressive people.

No family wants to spend time at a nice park if it is littered with tents and makeshift camps.

A way to keep the homeless out and keep it free of needles/drugs Access to the river from the park could be a big draw that connects the park to other trails and greenways in the area and should be considered for multimodal commuting to the park.

Adequate and clean restrooms! Recycle containers for trash. On site "operations manager" Also some beautiful walking pathways throughout
Anything build will be vandalized and trashed by the druggie As a kid I would play there 60 years ago. Took my kids there 35 years ago. I don't go there because plain and simple it's not safe. With people or walking g you could get stab with needles. Or the filth. Shameful.

You need to build shelter housing down 273 with surplus land.

As long as the homeless are over-running our parks, I will not take my grandkids there. I grew up going to both parks, but that was 50 years ago when it was safe, no “homeless― and no needles. Truly sad that we allow a few to ruin it for the many.

As you are well aware the homeless congregate there and just going to the library with my kids we get hustled by them. I’m not so concerned for myself since I grew up in inner city and know how to deal with their approach etc. but others may be deterred as there is legitimate safety concerns I have from my experience there.

Availability to all. Open park like it once was,
ball fields for kids and adults
Bathrooms
Bathrooms available
Because of the location safety is the number one concern.

Being able to visit a park to walk dog and feeling safe, especially if walking by yourself Being homeless is not a crime
Biggest concern is the safety & homeless population in the area Bike friendly is so important.

Bike paths leading to the park from all over the city
Bike racks and water faucets would be nice. New bathrooms are necessary.

Blighted parks
Bums a d dirty needles.

Cannot have rain proof seating areas. It creates a place for homeless congregation which our parks are not an acceptable use for. In my opinion
Children need more safe areas to play where the homeless are not around and no drug/needle paraphernalia around
City not acting for the people
City not listening to the people
Clean up the whole area of homeless criminals
Cleaner Restrooms
Cleanliness (2)
Cleanliness and of course, homeless

Packet Pg. 585 Attachment: Online Survey Open End Responses (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park) Concerned that YET ANOTHER baseball field is even being considered. There's already 2 in the park and another across from the library. Let's mix it up and maximize variety to get the biggest bang for the buck regarding all age demographics being represented with a majority of the focus being on the 5 - 35 age range since they're the future of our city
connectivity. I pass through the parks mostly on the trail system. Will stop for amenities (bench, museum, picnic table). Lately have used the sand VB court in lake redding park. dont much visit the enterprise parks as bicycle access to them is not as desireable. CRITICAL that south park be accessible walking/biking. E.g., make something more of access from Waldon/California Ave from downtown.

Make access better from Favretto/Lanning.

Consider a small fee/membership to enter to keep homeless out. Even if it’s $1/mo. People can apply for free memberships. It’s so close to the mission on prisoner drop off point there needs to be a way to keep it safe for community members.

Continue the Tiger Field baseball tradition with the Colts - great family friendly event Creating a space for families and utilizing the park rather than creating a space that enables homeless to further make it unsafe for families.
crime - auto break in's - drug waste
Crime and transient population.

Crime, drugs and prostitution
Currently just the homeless population that still hangs out near this park and the library I have 4 small children and I don’t mind homeless people but it is a safety concern as thy do leave needles around as well as trash
Definitely safety and a general welcoming feeling for families and all to want to come to Depending on what it becomes with depend on when we visit if we do! Depending upon park type, parking could be an issue. Safety is a BIG concern.

Do we really need a second ballpark there? If needed expand Tiger Field and rebuild facilities. Don't we have Big League Dreams for a ballpark arena? Build facilities that bring community to the park year round. Tiger field sit idle and locked most of the time. Not a lot of bang for the buck for the real estate that it takes up.
doesn't make sense to spend time and money and let the homeless take over Dog friendly?
Don’t gate the park. Don’t ticket unhoused folks for being there/sleeping there.

Don’t want the park built for transients to take over
Don’t waste any time or money if its just going to be a homeless hangout.

Ensure park safety. Utilize the police department that is within walking distance Ensuring that SCP does not again become a venue for crime and illegal encampments.

Ensuring the homeless are just being pushed out and instead are being considered and having their needs met

Homeless folks should have equal use of the park as a public space. My concern is they will be excluded by law enforcement.

Homeless hangout
Homeless have to be removed or we won't go no matter how nice it is. Sad, we lived in the garden tract for 15 years. Never went around the library with the kids.

Homeless people and their belongings living in park areas. It doesn’t feel safe for me or my family to go to some parks
Homeless people are going to be hanging around the area no matter how many people you have in the park. To combat that problem, I suggest putting some park benches with tables under some nicely shaded trees just outside the fencing of the park by the parking lot at the back end of the city hall and Packet Pg. 587 Attachment: Online Survey Open End Responses (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park) police station. They all hang out there anyway. If you give them their own comfortable shady place to hang out they won’t have a reason to go into the park. Maybe even put a public bathroom out there and a drinking fountain for them. Then there will be no need at all to go into the park. That would solve 90% of people’s safety concerns, in my opinion. It would also get more people into the park.

Homeless population and cleanliness of the area! My kids have never been there except for a junior giants practice which we quit soon afterwards because of the conditions and lack of maintenance in the area. I have gone to a colt 45’s game and enjoyed it very much but I felt safe with such a big crowd. It has to be family friendly, clean, and safe.

Homelessness plan- people don't stop being homeless and the problem doesn't go away just because the city takes away their spaces to find peace and be left alone.

Packet Pg. 588 Attachment: Online Survey Open End Responses (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park) Hopefully the park can be cool in the summer, which would increase use.

How accessible is the park going to be and how regulated? The Mission is very close to this park and is why the homeless choose to occupy their time here. With our population of homeless, I do not believe the Mission is being effective. I know they make people enter job programs, but how many of these people actually get a job and work their way out of the Mission. They also don’t allow drugs at the Mission, but since they are told to leave at about 6am and don’t have to come check in until around 8pm, this gives ample time for drug use throughout the day, since we know the majority of them are just using the Mission for a bed to sleep in away from the elements.

How do we find another place for the homeless to gather? How do you plan to deal with the homeless issue? It's disconcerting when I go to the library to see and hear people who are obviously I need of care.
how to keep the drugs crime and homeless out
How will the city be able to keep homeless away from the area? What resources will they be provided to reduce desire to loiter around the library and park?
How will the homeless population in that area be addressed? How would you keep homeless people out and keep it safe for children? I am concerned vandalism and COVID will impact the park's usability.

I am most concerned about spending large amounts of money & having it destroyed by crime and Homeless people. Parks should not be the place where children see addicts and violence. I go back 5 generations here in Redding and had a great childhood. We need to give the sense of freedom, fun and safety back to children AND adults. It has to be safe & clean! I do not walk the trails or go to area parks because of the druggie and homeless that live there. Our town is not safe because of these issues.

I do not want any non-secular symbols there.

I don’t feel safe at south city park
I don’t feel we should waste money and effort on South City Park if the homeless issue is not addressed.

Currently we cannot control their impact on the businesses all around the park area.

I don’t like the fence around a public park!
I don’t visit as much as I would like due to homeless
I don’t visit because of the homeless
I don’t want to see homeless people camping
I don't feel safe taking my children to that area with the homeless encampment there.

I feel that making this area anything other than a baseball field would be a dis-service to our community and the children that would benefit form it
I feel there should be some sort of playground for kids at this location, maybe in the middle of design.

However, we must remember this is for people or teams to play events when it opened.

I grew up in this park in the 70s and it breaks my heart to see what it has become. Safe family time should be a priority
I must stress safety for our children.

I played at this park as a child, this needs to be returned to a safe place to be.

I ranked safety concerns mainly from an accessibility stand point. Please consider safety and ease to walk/bike to park.

I think any kind of park is great but having homeless all over is NO GOOD.

I think parking off the South Market side would be a deterrent for Market Street travelers to live there I think people should have enough to do here for hours at a time I typically only visit parks during the day because of safety concerns. When I need to use the restroom facilities, they are often not in an ideal state. Typically, I run or walk through our local parks.

Packet Pg. 589 Attachment: Online Survey Open End Responses (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park) I use to take my kids on the weekends, then they tore out the park and just let it turn into a homeless place. It’s awful. Please turn it into something our kids can use like a baseball park I used to play tennis there with my friends 12-13 years ago and felt safe until the transient and criminal elements started gathering there.

I visited SSP often when my grandchildren played sports there on the weekend. Every visit involved a one-on-one surveillance (1 adult on 1 child) the entire time we were there. Our family enjoyed many birthday celebrations at Caldwell Park (always with caution near the bathrooms and 1-on-1). I drive by the library currently and it looks like a small city moving about outside. I don't know how to solve homelessness and the issues that accompany it. But it would be heartbreaking to develop such a special area and then render it useless due to societal problems.

I want the park to be safe and free of homeless people, crime, and drugs.

I want to make sure I bring up the bee hives that are in the back of both basketball backboards at this part. Also it would be nice to have access to the tennis courts. We need bathrooms and water fountains available.

I won’t visit if it’s full of drugged out people. It’s why we don’t go there now and stopped using library.

Can’t put lipstick on a pig
I work at the library and right now I would not go to the park. I’d like a place that was safe for walking but don’t feel the area is safe.

I would attend more if there was something like a food hall, a place to eat and visit with people, to take guests, a water feature for kids. It's critical that environmental design be installed to discourage vagrants - rocks, unfriendly plants, regular patrols by police. I would prefer not to add more fencing.

But we can't have vagrants sitting in front of the facility all day. I would not take my grandkids to the park unless that changes.

I would like to see more integration between the park, the library, and the police station. It should feel like a single campus.

I would love to take my kids there someday, but that’s not going to happen if the homeless and junkies are there. A constant presence of RPD patrolling in cars or bikes would make all the difference for me.

I'm not confident that the park won't become the homeless city it once was though.

I would never visit South City Park with my children or grandchildren. The homeless situation in that area is out of control. Spending money on the park will not solve this problem. The homeless issue needs to be taken care of first.

I would really like to see the baseball fields constructed.

I would visit more if there wasn’t such a homeless presence I’d like to have humane accommodations for the homeless and mentally disturbed as well as other citizens.

I’m concerned that if this park becomes a place to hell the homeless it will become unsafe. Many of the homeless people in our area are also involved in drug and etoh abuse. I don’t want to see this park become a place for the homeless population to reside. We need to elevate the area and draw more consumers hear and I think a beautiful baseball stadium will help to not only draw in more money for the community, but also create a new activity for families to attend.

I’m sure you have thought of this, but working with the library would be a good idea. They probably have some suggestions for using the space too.

If it is done right, people will use the place, and homeless will not be an issue. Parks that do not address daily use needs of the community, are not used, and homeless move in.

If it is reopened, the park should be open to ALL community members including unhoused community members. I am also concerned that the park will be over policed making it less accessible to some community members who are disproportionately targeted by police.

Packet Pg. 590 Attachment: Online Survey Open End Responses (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park) If it was open I would be down there playing bocce ball. And I love baseball and I support our local Colt 45’s.

If nothing is done about the homeless population around the park, I believe people will not use the park.

If there is not an improvement on safety I will not bring my child. There are needles lying around that park
If there's no place for our homeless then there's no point in trying to fix this park at all, like not even a little bit.

If water fountains were installed, it would be an absolute disaster. I cannot stress this enough.

If you build it, they will come!
If you make it family friendly and community hopefully people will come and then the homeless will find somewhere else. If homeless don’t go then people won’t use it If you're fenced off dog area if you have some room? I don't even have a dog but it would be nice to have other people at the park to keep it alive.

I'm always concerned that nothing positive seems to get done to help the homeless. How about converting some of the MANY empty buildings in the area to housing? Include seniors who seek maintaining social contacts.

Include the library in your planning. We must make people know it is safe!! Incorporate the Library in design and usage
Inevitable conflict between homeless and other park users. Must address underlying causes of homelessness, especially addiction.

Invest in a safe bike path from the river trail to south city park It is important to merge the park usage with the collegiate baseball program for identity and safety.

It needs to be used regularly for social services. If left empty it will become a homeless camp It was hard to number which items are the most important..safety, homelessness. All seem to go together. Just want a place that is safe and fun to go to with grandkids and with friends.

It will never be a safe park without a solution to the homeless situation It’s important to have ample lighting so that the park can be enjoyed in the evenings since it’s so hot during the day.

It’s really beautiful. Thank you! Love going for walks in the trees and by river.

Just a comment- When I was a parent of young children, South City park was the place to go for birthday parties, and picnics. Would love to see it become a family place again! Just being able to use the park again, safely would be amazing! Just need a wall if there will be a water area with all the cars driving by that busy street just safety
Just safety and homeless
Just the homelessness and that the tennis courts are not being used Just the same as most of us: Homeless people who habitually congregate in the area.

Keep drug activity out
Keep homeless from living there!!!
Keep it fenced, open during the day and closed at night Keep it simple.

Keep park clean and safe
Keep Sports alive, family activities included, cleanliness and security Keep the Bums out
Keep the homeless out, keep it bright and lit, and keep it safe! Keep up the good work!!
Keeping homeless drug users out and making this area feel safe should be top priority. Thank you for this survey :)

Leave it alone!!!
Let's make food drives available there, offer resources to help the homeless instead of driving them out, there are familys with children out there with nowhere to go.

Let's not use tax payer dollars to fund a refurbished homeless gathering place that is unsafe for the community to enjoy.

Lighting, seating opportunities, trash containers and pickup. Food trucks! Local neighborhood crime and safety. Safe parking as well.

Lots of use all the time to keep the homeless out.

Mainly safety, I don’t believe a children's park is a good idea for that area. Even with the library and fields - there's just alot of unwanted activity that way in general.

Mainly safety, I love this area but havent felt safe to go because of the homeless populations.

Maintain/keep trees for shade and nature.

Maintenance and Safety Patrols
Make it a park that people in other places will want to visit and emulate it Make it great and uncomplicated.

Make it safe
make it the coolest summer heat oasis in California. Water features...waterworks park...shade...

Make sure there are plenty of trash cans and they get emptied Make the park safe
Make this a safe space, usable for families and children. We have never set foot in the library because of safety concerns.

Making sure there aren’t a bunch of shady folks in the area would be ideal.

Making this a functional and useful part of Redding for kids and adults and keeping the homeless out. managing foot traffic
Maybe security personnel? Especially at night. I know a lot of people leave needles around where kids could be poked

Mistreatment of homeless
Mixed use. Family-friendly. All ages. Easy access for all people.

Move out the homeless. Then clean it up. It was nice when I was a kid, in the 80’s. multiple nice parks are a signature to sought after cities and good memories of a place My biggest concern in bringing my children to that area is the homeless population. I like to take them to the library but last time I was there a homeless man came and started banging on my car windows while we were inside it. I would love to see it cleaned up of trash, have a nice family friendly park, especially some sort of splash pad, like the one they just built in Anderson. So excited for this improvement project!
Packet Pg. 592 Attachment: Online Survey Open End Responses (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park) My concern is the same as many, how do we prevent the homeless from ruining it.

My family does not go to this park because we do not feel safe there. We only go if necessary. If it was safe and had things for kids to play it would be a location we would go to often.

My main concern is dealing with the homeless issue. Regardless of how amazing this park will be and what attractions it will have, the residents of Redding will NOT want to go due to the large amounts of homeless in the area. That is the number one concern that needs to be addressed. How will this be fixed? If there is a water park or playground, how can you ensure they will not overrun that area designed for children? It comes down to safety, it makes me absolutely sad that my children have to practice and play softball and baseball games surrounded by fencing like a jail. You want to be able to watch your children play or enjoy nature without fearing for your safety or watching them use drugs during the day.

My only concern there is for the safety of our community members (especially the children). Heavy Law Enforcement presence would be super welcomed!!! At least until all get the message that this is a family place once again. I would want to know the needles and sewage/ garbage is all cleaned out AND that there are no criminals hiding out before ever bringing my grandkids there again.

Need more activities to encourage positive activities to occur more often...

Need safe parking area. Druggies need to be removed from entire area.

Need scheduled time for pickleball please!
Need to address homeless mess
Need to make it a place people want to be, so they use it and keep it nice.

Needles from addicts
Needles/drugs and homeless population
Never really get over to south city park unless there is something going on there No baseball fields. Use funding to update K2/K3 instead. A new field here would take out too many trees and take up too much space.

No homeless camp, tents, carts, trash. Patrolled by security, much like turtle bay.

No indoor volleyball
no matter how nice you make it the homeless will still try to take it over No one will want to use the park if it’s full of people sitting around watching your children play.

No other concerns but I would suggest courts for adult leagues like pickleball or bocci. Parents and young adults would love to join a team like this!
None
None at this time
None, other than Redding city council leaving the homeless population alone. If you're redoing this park to "get rid" of them, youre severly wrong with spending your 2022 budget. Help the homeless before you kick them out.
nope
Nothing that everyone else isn't going to mention. The park itself is really nice, it's just the people who are constantly around the area are a little rough. I live up the hill on California St. and we hear the ball games and concerts that go on. I hope this continues and I would love to see events take place. There is nice shade and some really cool spots to enjoy. I'd hope that the city maintains the trees for shade and doesn't just add in a bunch of concrete. Spend money fixing what is there and fixing the accessibility issue before throwing a bunch of money at a water feature.

Obviously the homeless staying at this park is the biggest issue. More resources for them elsewhere.

Obviously the homeless/drug users. Bad location of town, public library, mission and rundown neighborhoods bring bad crowds of people.

Only crime!
Open only during hours and by season. Like summer will be 6am to 11 pm , winter 6am to 9pm Packet Pg. 593 Attachment: Online Survey Open End Responses (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park) Open the tennis courts!!!! There are no free courts in Redding. And for a city this size with so much recreation available, and so many parks, it’s embarrassing.

Our homeless population must have a location in which to live. I dream of a Tiny House Village where these folks get to contribute to the building of their own efficiency 2-room tiny home in a development and contribute to the community with gardening, cleanup, affordable utilities, et al. Redding should not be the way it currently is in this regard!!
Park needs to be used a lot to keep it safe
Parking (3)
Parking and traffic.

Parking to access the park must be well lit/safe, as well.

Parking, safety
Parks trails are unsafe. Don’t build anymore. Waste of $. I quit using after multiple threats to my safety.

Pedestrian access should be prioritized beyond the park site. Line of sight into the park for CPTED is important. If there was a park my family could walk to near Quail Hollow, we wouldn’t need to drive to other parks and we would visit the park all the time. Thanks people crossing cypress - I was the driver that hit and killed a pedestrian on this stretch People hanging out all around the library
Please allow no camping or sleeping in the park.

Please focus on fields for sports for organized sports. please keep the bocce ball courts and the shade trees around them Police should be visible.

Posse grounds and river access next to Civic should be left alone. Do you see the Feds selling Shasta Lakeside excess property? You are the keepers not the developers of these treasures.

Primarily the safety, homeless is an issue in that area Primarily want a nature based park with open venues for people of all activities.

Proper security better and brighter lights
Provide public housing for the homeless! Kicking them out of where they stay isn't going to get rid of them, it'll just move them somewhere else.

Proximity to GNRM-where will those people go all day?
Proximity to the mission
Public access to all amenities without fees .

Public Safety. As a senior citizen I have concerns about even parking and walking to our beautiful Public Library.

Rampant drug use, homeless, not safe to bring my children Redding is so hot during the day in the summer and spring. It would be nice to have a park that is open later with plenty of lighting so people could enjoy activities like tennis, basketball, baseball.

Redding’s hot summers require shade and water to make attractive for family, community Relocating homeless population to make the park feel safe for families Remove all the homeless and violent transients so taxpayers contributing to society can safely return to visiting the park with their families and friends.

Sadly, I don't think this will happen. The homeless seem to run this street. Redding would have a far better image, if you didn't have these people casually laying on the lawn, doing drugs and urinating in the trash cans...in broad daylight. The sheer fact that the Police station is there also, amidst this, makes it worse. Tourists, and potential new residents will not feel safe in a city that looks like this.

Something has to be done about the homeless camping out.

South City Park is in a great but tough location. Because of that safety and useability are more important than other parks and things like bathroom maintenance, enforcement of loitering codes, etc. will be very important to the park's regular use by a broad demographic Special Olympics uses the bocce courts and tennis courts at the park, but with the homeless clustered around, it just never felt safe. So many people - including myself and family- don't go to the library anymore for that very reason. And the LAST thing we'd want to do is bring our children there! Our family used to be at the park 2-3 times a week as well as weekly library trips. Not now.

Stability & accountability, in the City government, and the city support for the homeless population and safety for small children (encampments, trash, traffic/speed) Sustainable revenue source for security, maintenance, and upkeep.

Take measures to see that all people visiting the park have equal, free access to the entire park. For years there was NO public bathroom yet the kids playing softball had their own outhouse. Heaven forbid a common citizen has a need to answer nature's call! And putting a muzzle and/or reality check on that jerk Bosetti will go a long way too. Look at the mess he started by trying to make this park a haven for his Colt 45's, his attitude & approach backfired.

Thank you for addressing this jewel.

That the homeless will take over any water structure or art items That we will not utilize the entire space.

That we will. Ever keep the homeless out
The area surrounding the park is a little rough and has a high crime rate The bathrooms but being able to enjoy it without feeling in danger of homeless etc The City can't or won't maintain the parks that it already has, how is this going to be any different? The city is considering dumping all this money into the new and improved homeless park. Maybe start with taking care of that first.

The concern has been noted above, with high drug problems in the area, and the City of Redding having no desire to fix it, it is doubtful that anyone but the homeless will use this new park, and this is a waste of tax payer money.

The concerns are the homeless people all around. I’ve lived near this park all my life & have never been able to play on it as a kid
The drugs and people around that make it unusable or safe The homeless
The homeless community, I want to feel safe
The homeless have kept me away for years. It would be lovely to get the space back and feel safe in the area.

The homeless population
The homeless population around the park and library are a deterant. Makes people nervous and have no desire to go there.

The homeless population makes the park unsafe
The homeless problem by the library.

The homeless problem keeps me away now. Unless that is seriously addressed to give them options it's worthless to put any money into the park
The homeless really need another place to go and these enhancements can't push them to the library or the City Hall. This is VITAL. There has to be another "day use" area that is out of the public's eye. the homeless taking over
The homeless taking over the park, doing drugs, needles places, and making it unsafe therfore unusable The homeless using the park
The homeless would take over the water structure. We need more lighting and better things in place for the safety of the children. A baseball field would be ideal.

The homeless/ safety
The lack of playground and things for families is lacking. Music in the park would be a nice thing to add.

The main reason we stopped using this park as homeless took over and it wasn't safe for my family. My girls had softball games and practices there. We had to arrive 30-40 minutes early so adults could sweep the fields for needles, bottles, knives, etc. It was terrible.

The more people you attract the less homeless will be an issue The need to maintain the level of security that has been achieved.

The obvious one, that it would not be permitted to become the homeless hangout. Let’s figure out a good and kind solution for that. We need safe places for the “homed― to hang out.

The only concern I have is keeping the drug addicts and their needles out of the places where the littles will play.

The park could use some revitalization once again. I feel a new amphitheater would bring a lot more people down to the park as we did this last summer.

The park has to be safe.

The park Needs NEW Bathrooms
The park will not be used by those we want using it if the jobless, criminal element is hanging around intimidating would be park users.

The parks must be kept clean, sanitary, in good repair, all parks are an investment and must be maintained continuously, that is totally lacking here in Redding The party of the city is at is not good, what will you do about the mission nearby and the other homeless The proximity to the library makes it an asset if we can improve the safety both places.

The public must feel this is a same place to enjoy
The transient homeless population still use the park area for their home. This has to be dealt with first The transient population and the dirtiness of the area. I do not feel safe There is a growing volleyball community in Redding and not many places for us to play There is limited parking here. Events at Tiger Field could cause park visitation issues. Also suggest adding gateway off E. side of park to parking lot to upgrade entrance & work on placemaking.

There must be a loitering ordinance aggressively enforced or a security plan which prevents the homeless population from being inside the park and library. If it’s not family friendly it will be a wasted effort.

There was a reason it was fenced. Fix this first!
Packet Pg. 597 Attachment: Online Survey Open End Responses (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park) There would have to be lots of policing in the initial stages of development. The homeless issue is not going away any time soon.

This city has a long history of mistreating the homeless. Fencing them out of the park, is a clear example.

I'd REALLY like to see that change.

This city has been trying to get private funding for sale city park for 15 years. This is not going to happen.

The city needs to step up or sell the land to someone who will.

This park is a direct line between Safeway and the Mission, the homeless situation will have to be addressed.

Tired of homeless, drunks, drugs, and stuff laying around the area To close to homeless
To close to the mission, you won’t be able to keep the homeless out let alone the vehicles getting broke into
too much focus on baseball
Too much tax payer funds being used for something that will amount to a 'fancier' homeless camp.

Traffic and noise abatement for the surrounding areas
Transient activity.

Transients (2)
Transients causing issues. Leaving paraphernalia
Transients taking over the park and area
Unfortunately the homeless problems do need to address first before the park gets dress up. No one will use the park if they don't feel safe there regardless of the improvement done.

Unsafe bathrooms needs improvement
Upkeep and vandalism
Vandalism and drug use
Vehicle safety.

Very excited for improvements!
Very excited to see park taken back by our community and getting a face lift.

Volunteer opportunities?
Wasting money on improving an area where homeless currently reside is a bad idea. They will return. I don’t even take my grandkids to the library due to the safety and hygiene issues Water play for a dry area unwise. Safety, waterborne pathogens, homeless taking showers/baths. Lights are nice but draw unsavory elements of our population. Refreshment area means upkeep, vandalism, and more trash.

We don’t have a rec center and are struggling to find a location for our large volleyball community it’s (100+ people.)
We live 3 minutes away and avoid this place because of the homeless.

We need a baseball field and don’t need to add a water feature that the homeless will take baths in We need affordable housing
We NEED BASEBALL FIELD for the children
We need baseball fields!!!
We need more accessible baseball fields and covered basketball courts We really need open courts for volleyball and basketball inside free to public. A lot of people can’t afford life right now and to charge to get in like big league dreams is a joke.

We should be building a community for the homeless and newly paroled before throwing millions at a park or recreation area.

What about the large number of homeless in the area. This leads to trash and other items around kids play spaces, is there a plan?
Packet Pg. 598 Attachment: Online Survey Open End Responses (9.6(a)--Approve Agreement for Programmatic Plan and Schematic Design at South City Park) While a supporter of housing for street folks, it will be a challenge for the City to make sure the park will not be taken over by un-housed persons. Don't need a baseball field as there are several close by. Hire, or shift, park staff to maintain a semblance of security, clean-up and information..

Who will pay for ongoing maintenance of an art installation and/or water play feature? Why has the park been locked up for the last several years?? With the close proximity to the Mission those visitors need a new place to go. There should be more adequate lighting and safety measures with police reinforcement at the park and in the surrounding area. The park has so much potential but many do not frequent it out of fear of safety. wont go if the crime and homeless are not dealt with
Would like indoor volleyball
Yes I've been homeless here in redding two years ago and yes the library is a hangout but if there was a safe place to charge phones since and relax people would go there Yes the amount of homeless people there. The city can’t keep them from the library why do you think you can keep this park secure. I used to take my grandkids to the library but they were scared and we quit going.

Yes the homeless have taken over
Yes when the park is re-opened my concern is about the homeless we need to help them out as well alot of them have no place to go and many low income housing are full.....

Yes!! the city leaders have let Redding go to shit!!!! going on 60 years living in Redding, what it has become is sickening. Drugs are the root cause of crime and homelessness , our city and county leaders want to listen to that idiot in the state capital... grow some balls give Newsom the finger and do whats best for "THE REAL NORTHER CALIFORNIA"
Yes, I do. Perhaps this can become a place of learning for kids - good sportsmanship, working together, inclusion etc...an antidote to some of the negative aspects of our culture they are exposed to, it was a positive influence for younger members of my family. I do have a concern, I, unfortunately do not have an answer to problem, but we do have a criminal element in Redding as you know. Families are not going to come there if there is criminal activity going on in the area. Thank you for offering this forum for input. Thank you for revitalizing the park, as mentioned many times, it was a great place for our family many, many years ago.

Yes, I think bike accessibility, bike trails, a push scooter and bike course, and bike riding areas could be important additions that would draw children and families to the park.

Yes, officials of COR will screw up any beautification project.

Yes, please do not reopen this park to the public. In 2018, my sister who was homeless died in that park at the young age of 31. It’s a unsafe area, please do not make this a public area! The crime rate, dangerous people, and drug paraphernalia riddle this areas. It is not safe, especially for children. yes, the homeless and those who use drugs. Our children need to be safe.

Yes, the rampant homeless scum bag problem you’ve allowed to fester there Yes. How do you intent to keep the junkies and drunks away when you can't even keep them away from the city hall grounds.

Yes. Need to get rid of the homeless and the trash they don't clean up and f themselves. Would be a great place to be if you weren't surrounded buy them people. They're making this whole city look like trash
You can do whatever to fancy it up but unless there is security and enforcement it’s a waste of taxpayer money for a homeless camp bc that’s what it is now and why people don’t go there with their families.

You can not "visit" the park when they have you fenced out.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO REDDING CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Direct staff to develop a Request for Proposal (RFP) for projects to enhance use at South City Park, and return for City Council consideration prior to issuance.

Background
South City Park (Park) is the oldest park in the City with a vibrant history of recreational use.

Recently, however, the Park’s appeal has diminished. At the August 15, 2017, City Council meeting, the Council directed staff to develop ideas and proposals relative to potential uses for the Park, i.e. public/private partnerships, mixed-use projects, etc., with the goal of revitalizing the Park and increasing its attraction to the community at large. Staff met and discussed various ideas and concluded that issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) will widen the opportunity for others to directly participate in this process, and will increase the pool of ideas for the Council’s consideration. The RFP will contain various criteria for consideration such as a preference for recreation amenities, but will not be restrictive.

Issue
Does the Council wish to issue an RFP to receive proposals for improvements to South City Park?
Alternatives; Implication of Alternatives
The Council has the following alternatives available:

1. Direct staff to develop and issue a RFP for the Council’s consideration.

2. Choose not to issue a RFP in which case the Park will remain as it is today.

Fiscal Impact
Developing and issuing an RFP will require staff time and other nominal expenses. Should an MEETING DATE: December 19, 2017

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following relative to South City Park and Tiger Field:
(1) Approve the Second Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding (C-6532) between the City of Redding (City) and the Colt 45s for maintenance, game scheduling, and security services at Tiger Field through June 30, 2021, with an option to extend upon mutual agreement for an additional three years to June 30, 2024; (2) Authorize the City Manager to execute the 2nd Amendment to MOU (C-6532); (3) Approve the donation of one surplus ATV from the City of Redding Community Services Department to the Colt 45s for maintenance at Tiger Field; and (4) Approve the fencing plan at South City Park.

Fiscal Impact
This second amendment to the MOU adds no additional costs to the City’s expenses and continues to benefit the City by allowing Parks staff to be redeployed to other park locations.

Utility and housekeeping supplies are capped at historical use amounts. The amendment relieves City staff of some scheduling responsibilities, although Redding Recreation staff manages insurance verification and fee reconciliation as a course of regular business. The value of the eighteen-year old ATV is likely less than the cost to process a sale and underscores the collaborative nature of the partnership at Tiger Field.

Alternative Action
The Council could choose not to approve any or all of the proposed items relative to the maintenance and security at South City Park and Tiger Field. The alternatives will require City staff to maintain, prepare, and schedule the field and incur the costs of those activities. The Council could also direct City staff to auction the surplus ATV equipment for nominal reimbursement, and to retain the existing fencing plan at South City Park.

Re: 9.6(a)--Approve 2nd Amendment to MOU with Colt 45s Page 2 Background
Tiger Field MOU
Tiger Field is the City’s historic baseball park located in South City Park. It is the only field in the City’s inventory that meets regulation baseball field dimensions. The park is regularly used by Simpson University, American Legion, Colt 45s, Redding Recreation, local high schools, and a variety of other users.

The City and the Colt 45s entered into an MOU in 2015 to provide year-round facility maintenance including game day preparations for the Tiger Field facility, field scheduling, and periodic security patrols. The agreement has worked very well between the parties. The agreement provides the opportunity to enhance the field maintenance and security services while redeploying park maintenance resources to other facilities.

Highlights of the MOU agreement are:
 Colt 45s to provide year-round maintenance of Tiger Field;  Colt 45s to provide game day field preparations;
 Authorization for Colt 45s to collect a fee for field preparation costs;  The number of games to be played at Tiger Field limited to 170-185 games per year;  Colt 45s to schedule games at Tiger Field with a list of users in a prioritized order;  Colt 45s to contract for private security patrols at Tiger Field, South City Park and the adjacent parking lots;
 City to continue to provide for utilities and housekeeping supplies at historical amounts;  A term of three years with one (1) optional 3-year extension; and  No compensation to Colt 45s
Transfer of ATV
The Community Services Department is receiving four (4) all-electric ATVs from Redding Electric Utility, funded by Cap and Trade auction proceeds. When the new ATVs are received, Community Services seeks to transfer title of a 2000 John Deere 4x2 Gator to the Colt 45s who will use the vehicle for maintenance at Tiger Field.

Fencing Plan
Recreational activity and park visitation at South City Park have been negatively impacted by the presence of pervasive illegal activities. In order to protect the facilities and create a secure environment for ballplayers, bocce ball leagues, and spectators, several fences have been erected.

The Community Services Department proposes to reconfigure the fencing to separate active play areas from open picnic areas. The active play areas would be scheduled by the Recreation Division and available through the reservation process. The open picnic area would remain available for use on demand.

Re: 9.6(a)--Approve 2nd Amendment to MOU with Colt 45s Page 3 Summary
The partnership between the City and the Colt 45s has been successful. The Colt 45s have made numerous physical improvements to Tiger Field. The field is well maintained, and usage at Tiger Field has increased. Donating the ATV will provide the Colt 45s with useful equipment for their ongoing field maintenance benefitting all users. Additional fencing at South City Park will encourage more users to visit the park and enjoy its many amenities in a beautiful setting in downtown Redding.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to enter into a License Agreement with the Redding Tennis Club for the use of the tennis courts at South City Park.

Fiscal Impact
There is no additional cost to the General Fund associated with this agreement. Parks Division staff will continue to provide routine maintenance including mowing, trash removal, and general maintenance of the park area.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to authorize the City Manager, or designee, to enter into a license agreement with the Redding Tennis Club (RTC) for the purpose of running tennis programs at the South City Park tennis courts and instead provide staff with alternate direction.

Background/Analysis
South City Park (Park) is the oldest park in the City with a vibrant history of recreational use.

Recently, however, the Park’s appeal has diminished. Over the last two years, efforts have been made to increase recreational activities in the Park.
 In 2017, the Council directed staff to develop a Request for Proposal (RFP) to open the opportunity for others to propose ideas to make better use of the Park’s grounds and amenities. Two responses were received, but neither was funded.  In August 2018, the City Council directed that: 1) South City Park be fenced and closed to open public access and; 2) staff work with interested community partners to develop activities to utilize the park property during this time.

Re: 4.6(a)--Redding Tennis Club License Agreement-South City Park Page 2  In January 2019, a public meeting was held and over 50 people attended. Several ideas were raised for activities and amenities. In evaluating the ideas, staff considered the life cycle of the improvement and also the availability of community resources (non-City) to fund and provide for improvements and programs. It is expected that South City Park will re-open in the future to open public use.

In March 2019, the Community Services Advisory Commission (CSAC) heard from the two groups best poised to proceed – Redding Tennis Club and Shasta Dogs. The Redding Tennis Club, which has filed for IRS non-profit 501(c) 3 status as the Shasta Recreational Development Association, has successfully moved forward for consideration of a license agreement.

Highlights of the license agreement are as follows:
 10-year term
 10 community events per year
 10-50 hours per week of programming
 Activities will be added to a shared online calendar
 Participate in regular meetings of the South City Park tenants  Responsible for all maintenance within the courts
 Any new improvements must be approved in advance
 RTC responsible for any permits required for its activities  $1,000,000 liability insurance coverage
 Provide an annual report on activities
 Termination for non-performance
 City will provide utilities for current facilities
Further, RTC plans to resurface the tennis courts and is considering adding new courts in the future. CSAC reviewed the terms of the agreement and recommends the City Council’s approval.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to development of an Airport Strategic Plan for the Redding Municipal Airport (C-8976):
(1) Adopt Resolution approving the 22nd Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2021- 078, appropriating $225,000 for the Airport Strategic Plan; and (2) Approve Authorization of Service No. 21-05 with Mead & Hunt, Inc., for consulting services to develop the Airport Strategic Plan; and
(3) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the agreement, and any amendments, or additional documentation needed to facilitate the development of the strategic plan.

Fiscal Impact
The cost of the Airport Strategic Plan will be $225,000 including consultant services and staff time. The funding is proposed to be funded by the General Fund.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to approve the budget resolution appropriating the funds and provide staff with alternate direction to address the surge in air service and the associated demands, as well as capital project needs.

Background/Analysis
The Redding Municipal Airport (RDD) has operated as a commercial service airport for the North State since the late 1940s. Over the years, RDD has had contracts with various air service operators offering service to multiple destinations. To accommodate a change in larger capacity aircraft being used by the airlines, a remodel and expansion of RDD’s Terminal was completed in late 2014. In more recent years, RDD has seen a steady increase in passenger air travel above and beyond United Airlines’ regular three-times daily flight to San Francisco International MEETING DATE: December 21, 2021

Re: 9.11(f)--Airport Strategic Plan Page 2
Airport (SFO). The increase was initiated by the successful addition of United Airlines’ single daily flight to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in 2019, which was backed by a revenue guarantee of nearly $1 million dollars. The addition of Avelo Airlines’ service to Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) in May 2021, and Alaska Airlines’ daily service to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) in June 2021, provided a surge in passenger usage. Beginning January 6, 2022, Avelo Airlines will offer direct service to Las Vegas International Airport (LAS). Additionally, potential air service with United Airlines to Denver International Airport (DEN) could start as soon as the airline is prepared to initiate that service from RDD in the coming years. The possibility of the DEN service is made possible as a result of the successful grant award that will provide a revenue guarantee for United Airlines in the amount of $1.1 Million including $350K in local support. Staff believes that both the LAS and DEN service will generate a large boost in passenger usage.

With this increase of air service, much of the available space in the Terminal has become constrained during times of overlapping flights where the total number of passengers has reached the maximum capacity of the passenger holding room. This is combined with the strain of having only one gate in the hold room, which has to be shared competitively among the three airlines.

The airlines have also been feeling the strain of the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) limited capacity which constricts its ability to efficiently screen passengers and bags, thereby leading to long delays for passengers to complete the security screening process. The demand for additional passenger screening lanes, passenger holding areas, larger baggage handling areas requested by the airlines, and limited ticket counter space has presented many challenges. This prompts staff to look at the future needs for the airport, and at interim improvements in the meantime. Increased passenger activity, aircraft size and security requirements necessitate the expansion of the Terminal. In addition, with the additional air service comes increased strain on support services such as car rentals, parking, vending, and other airport related services. All of which are at capacity and limited by space, facilities, and staff support as well as aging infrastructure including the main runway and taxiways.

As such, staff is recommending to the Council to develop a strategic plan for RDD that will focus on economic development, needed facility and capital improvements, which can include both revenue-generating and non-revenue generating projects or programs, and financial resiliency. This plan will be prepared as the aviation industry recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and at a time when the federal government is making considerable investment in aviation infrastructure. The strategic plan will analyze passenger demand and assess revenue generation and what support might be needed outside of City of Redding staff to achieve these goals. Staff believes that consideration for capital project needs in the next five years, or more, is a critical component of successful airport planning. The strategy will guide development and decision making, and allow the Airport to achieve its goals by continuing to serve as an important economic engine and the airport of choice for Northern California.

Mead & Hunt, Inc., is an on-call aviation consulting firm that provides engineering and design services as well as other airport consulting services for Redding Municipal Airport and Benton Airport. Mead & Hunt, Inc. will complete the attached scope, as part of the strategic plan development process, in approximately 8 months. The strategic plan will provide clear direction on investment of resources to ensure continued success and services for the north state community.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving the name change from the Redding Municipal Airport to Redding Regional Airport.

Fiscal Impact
The costs for this name change will result in staff time only to complete the application to the Federal Aviation Administration and Caltrans Division of Aeronautics for approval. If approved, staff will return to the City Council (Council) for subsequent actions that will require staff time and minor expenditures including an update of the municipal code, necessary actions required by the Federal Aviation Administration or State Department of Aviation, name changes on facilities or signs, and other associated requirements.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to approve the resolution and the Airport will continue operating under the current name, Redding Municipal Airport. Such action would not assist in the marketing efforts intended to increase awareness and capture the vision of the future.

Background/Analysis
There has been a long desire by staff and community partners to change the name of the Redding Municipal Airport (RDD) to reflect its status as a “Regional” Airport for the north state community. Passenger traffic has significantly increased over pre-pandemic years and the potential for further growth continues. Staff believes that the status of RDD should be elevated to represent that the Airport accurately provides services for the region.

Re: 9.11(d)--Name Change for the Redding Municipal Airport Page 2 On December 16, 2021, the Council adopted a resolution to the City Budget appropriating $225,000, and approved an Authorization of Service with Mead & Hunt, Inc., to develop an Airport Strategic Plan (ASP). Preparation of the plan is underway and is intended to focus on economic development, needed facility and capital improvements, which can include both revenue-generating and non-revenue generating projects or programs, and financial resiliency.

The ASP is being prepared with the help of a Strategic Plan Advisory Group made up of City of Redding Public Works Department and Airport Division staff, Airport stakeholders, advocates and businesses, and representatives from other agencies including Shasta County, the Redding Chamber of Commerce, and the Economic Development Corporation. One of the core recommendations being developed in the ASP is the idea of renaming and branding the Airport to recognize the region served. The Strategic Plan Advisory Group was tasked with developing recommendations for a new name that reflects the regional significance of the community served. The Strategic Plan Advisory Group brainstormed and was provided four options as an alternative name choice:
• Redding-Shasta Regional Airport
• Redding Regional Airport
• Shasta Gateway Airport
• Redding Airport
The majority of the Strategic Plan Advisory Group chose “Redding Regional Airport” as the preferred alternative based, in part, on the following comments:
• “Simple and easy to find.”
• “Encompasses the region which goes beyond Shasta County. We serve all of northern California.”
• “Although the Airport is located in Redding and Shasta County, it serves the residents and businesses of a region that is much larger than Shasta County, which is known by locals of this region as The Northstate.”
The rebranding of RDD’s name and logo will support marketing efforts by giving the Airport a new look and feel. Staff believes that the new name and logo will help to capture the vision for the future of RDD to be seen as “the regional airport of choice for Northern California.” The resolution has been approved to form by the City Attorney.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Government of the 21st Century – “Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today’s residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better decisions today.”
• Economic Development – “Facilitate and become a catalyst for economic development in Redding to create jobs, retain current businesses and attract new ones, and encourage investment in the community.”

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions to amend the Local Discharge Limits for Permitted Industrial Users:
(1) Offer Ordinance amending Title 14 (Utilities), Chapter 14.16 (Sewers) by amending Section 14.16.495 (Local Discharge Limits for Permitted Industrial Users) for first reading by title only, and waive the full reading;
(2) Direct the City Attorney to prepare, and the City Clerk to publish a summary of the ordinance; and
(3) Find that the action is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 CCR 15601(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

Fiscal Impact
There is no direct fiscal impact in adopting the proposed modifications.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to offer the ordinance as presented and direct staff to investigate alternatives. This could result in the Regional Water Quality Control Boards or the Environmental Protection Agency taking enforcement action against the City of Redding (City).

Background/ Analysis
As specified in the City of Redding’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit No. CA 0079731, the City is required to re-evaluate the local discharge limits for various constituents. The Industrial Waste Division conducted this evaluation and calculated proposed local discharge limits in a July 2020 report. The Council adopted the newly calculated local discharge limits in October 2020. The report was then submitted to the Central Valley Regional MEETING DATE: June 21, 2022

Report to Redding City Council June 16, 2022
Re: 9.11(g)--Ordinance amending Wastewater Local Discharge Limits Page 2 Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) and approved in March 2021. Subsequent to approval by the CVRWQCB, it became apparent that the discharge limits of three constituents approved by the Council were more restrictive than the limits approved by the CVRWQCB. The proposed action will restore the City’s local discharge limits to a value that is consistent with those approved by the CVRWQCB. Specifically, the proposal would adjust the Mercury limit from 0.044 mg/L up to 0.049 mg/L, the Silver limit from 1.14 mg/L up to 1.28 mg/L, and the Zinc limit from 2.62 mg/L up to 2.82 mg/L. This action will have no effect on current industrial users, as the local discharge limits approved by the CVRWQCB are already incorporated into the industrial user permits.

Staff has determined that the action is exempt from environmental review under the CEQA pursuant to 14 CCR 15601(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). The action has been reviewed and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following related to the 2020 City of Redding Enforcement Response Plan (ERP) for the Wastewater Utility to ensure the Redding Municipal Code and ERP conforms to state and federal regulations and requirements:
(1) Offer Ordinance amending Redding Municipal Code Title 14 (Utilities), Chapter

14.16 (Sewers) for first reading by title only and waive the full reading, direct the City Attorney to prepare a summary ordinance, and authorize the City Clerk to publish the summary ordinance according to law;
(2) Adopt Resolution rescinding Resolution No. 2010-062 and approving the revised 2020 ERP; and
(3) Accept the 2020 Local Limits Re-evaluation Report.

Fiscal Impact
There is no direct fiscal impact in adopting the proposed amendments. If the amendments are not adopted, penalties and other enforcement action could result.

Alternative Action
The City Council may choose not to approve the amended draft ordinance, Enforcement Response Plan, or the 2020 Local Limits Re-evaluation Report and provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
A 2019 Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) audit report outlined changes to the Redding Municipal Code (RMC) and Enforcement Response Plan needed to maintain compliance with federal regulations. These audits are performed periodically to evaluate the industrial pretreatment program and compliance with environmental standards MEETING DATE: September 1, 2020

Re: 9.11(b)--Wastewater Administrative Updates Page 2
which regulate discharge to wastewater systems. Recommendations from that audit report include required updates to RMC 14.16: Sewers and to the ERP.

Local discharge limits for permitted industrial users, listed in RMC 14.16.495 are required to be re-evaluated every five (5) years, as specified in National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit No. CA 0079731. Previous limits were adopted in 2015. The 2020 reevaluation requires lowering the existing limits for copper, mercury, silver and zinc. The proposed ordinance will implement these required revisions and ensure the City of Redding’s (City) pretreatment program conforms to federal requirements.

Redding Municipal Code
Sections of RMC Chapter 14.16, Sewers, implement federal pretreatment requirements for wastewater discharges to the City’s sanitary sewer system. A review of the RMC found sections that require revision, along with staff recommended language clarifications.

Definitions: Wastewater Household Equivalent (H.E.) Calculation, and Lateral.

Code Sections: 14.16.240, 14.16.245, 14.16.340, 14.16.380, 14.16.495, 14.16.700,

14.16.920, and 14.16.930
These proposed amendments are necessary for the RMC to conform to federal pretreatment regulations and requirements, and would have no substantive impact on the City’s pretreatment program or regulated industries.

Enforcement Response Plan
The audit found code sections in need of revision, to include escalated enforcement of significant industrial users in non-compliance for late reporting. The ERP outlines enforcement activities when an industrial user does not comply with requirements of their Wastewater Discharge Permit or the RMC.

Local Limits
The City’s pretreatment program adopted technically based local wastewater discharge limits (local limits) into the RMC 14.16.495 in 2015. The local limits are based on extensive sampling and data analysis to ensure protection of City personnel, facilities, and to maintain wastewater and sludge disposal options by comparing those wastes to environmental criteria. Domestic wastewater sources are sampled to determine uncontrollable background contributions while industry sampling data is used to determine controllable sources. Together, these are compared with wastewater treatment plant sampling data to determine the plant's ability to treat the wastes in question. All of the City’s permitted Significant Industrial Users (SIUs) have been notified of the draft limits. None of the permitted SIUs are likely to violate the updated limits.

"Grease and oil" means fatty or oily matter in general, especially fats and oils of animal and vegetable origin, and hydrocarbons of petroleum origin. "Hazardous substance" means any substance capable of creating imminent endangerment to health of the environment, including, but not limited to, any substance designated under the Clean Water Act, 33 USC, Section 1251, et seq., 40 CFR 302; and any imminently hazardous chemical substance subject to regulation under the Toxic Mixtures or Substances Control Act, 15 USC, Section 2601, et seq. In general, substances which are toxic, explosive, corrosive, flammable, or irritants, or which generate pressure through heat or decomposition, e.g., heavy metals, pesticides, strong acids or bases, distillate fuels, oxidants, etc., are hazardous substances. "Household equivalent" means both the basic quantitative unit of wastewater volume and strength representing that wastewater generated by a typical single-family residence connected to the sewer collection system during an average day, and the proportional flow within the POTW system attributed to a single-family residence on an average day.

For the purpose of determining charges and fees for discharging into the POTW, the household equivalent is mathematically defined by the following formula:

WASTEWATER HOUSEHOLD EQUIVALENT (H.E.) CALCULATION
HE = Flow + BOD + TSS + O&G
Flow = (0.67 x flow gallons per day) ÷ 240 gallons per day BOD = (0.19 x Biochemical Oxygen Demand lbs per day) ÷ 0.50 lbs TSS = (0.12 x Total Suspended Solids lbs per day) ÷ 0.50 lbs O&G = (0.02 x Oil and Grease lbs per day) ÷ 0.35 lbs

240

0.19(BOD lb/day) +

0.50 0.12(TSS lb/day) +

0.50 0.02(Oil and Grease lb/day)

0.35 WASTEWATER HOUSEHOLD EQUIVALENT (H.E.) CALCULATION HE = Flow + BOD + TSS + O&G
Flow = (0.67 x flow gallons per day) ÷ 240 gallons per day BOD = (0.19 x Biochemical Oxygen Demand lbs per day) ÷ 0.50 lbs TSS = (0.12 x Total Suspended Solids lbs per day) ÷ 0.50 lbs O&G = (0.02 x Oil and Grease lbs per day) ÷ 0.35 lbs

I. PURPOSE
The Enforcement Response Plan ( ERP) establishes a framework for the Industrial Waste Division to manage an enforcement protocol to achieve and maintain Industrial User compliance with wastewater discharge requirements as based upon Redding Municipal Code Chapter 14. 16, State, and Federal requirements
II. INDUSTRIAL USER INVENTORY
A compliance tracking and enforcement system requires a complete and accurate compilation of pertinent data on all Industrial Users discharging to the City's Publicly Owned Treatment Works POTW). Ongoing industrial inventory activities have followed a thorough survey within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City. The Industrial User inventory is continually updated in several ways by the Industrial Waste staff. The City procedures include a detailed review and approval of all proposed industrial/commercial construction and tenant improvement projects.

The City's Customer Service Department, Development Services Department and sewer service rate review procedure also contribute pertinent information for updating the Industrial' User inventory. A weekly summary of all new business licenses issued by the City of Redding is also reviewed by Industrial Waste staff.

III. COLLECTING INDUSTRIAL USER INFORMATION AND IDENTIFYING

NONCOMPLIANCE
Once detailed information is obtained on an Industrial User through an industrial waste survey, an industrial user file is created. If an Industrial User is identified as meeting the definition of a significant industrial user (SIU), staff sends to the SID an application for issuance of an Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit (permit procedures are outlined in Appendix A). Upon completion of the permitting process, specific inspection, sampling, monitoring, and enforcement requirements are included in the wastewater discharge permit. Following issuance of an industrial wastewater discharge permit to the SID, routine inspections, collection of information and sample data begins.

Collecting and distributing specific information on an industry is performed by Industrial Waste staff. The compliance screening process begins with the review of the Industrial User data (i.e. sample analysis data, field inspection reports, correction notices, notice of violations, etc.). The staffreview allows the Industrial Waste Division to satisfy the following responsibilities:

1. Violations are reviewed and responded to in a timely manner.

2. Notification is given to the violating Industrial User, to ensure corrective measures are initiated.

3. Initiates tracking and monitoring procedures to achieve compliance.

4. Monitors enforcement activity of staff.

I
Packet Pg. 692 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - 09-01-20 (9.11(g)--Ordinance amending Wastewater Local Discharge Limits) e e
File information is maintained for each permitted SIU. These files generally include sm facility description, baseline monitoring reports, monitoring data, inspection reports, summary of violations, enforcement actions, phone log, and other relevant information. This historical information is maintained on Industrial User's (permitted as well as un-permitted.) to evaluate their performance and to monitor any enforcement activity necessary to assure compliance with Redding Municipal Code Chapter 14.16.

IV. SELECTING APPROPRIATE ENFORCEMENT ACTION
The violations and discrepancies identified in the screening process are evaluated to determine the degree of enforcement activity required. The Industrial Waste Division has established defined enforcement policies for differing types of violations. Violations of effluent limits require enforcement action. The enforcement procedures are designed to escalate enforcement actions until compliance is achieved. These procedures also provide a standardized approach for progressing through the enforcement process for any industrial user non-compliance. The list of technical and administrative violation in Section IX is not exhaustive but is intended to be a guide in determining appropriate enforcement.

V. RESOLVING NON-COMPLIANCE
Chapter 14. 16 of the Redding Municipal Code, and Industrial Waste Discharge Permits, provide the City with legal mechanisms to enforce the Pretreatment Program required by the City' s NPDES permits. The Industrial Waste Division utilizes a range of enforcement mechanisms to achieve the maximum degree of Industrial User compliance. The enforcement mechanisms range from simple reminders to significant legal penalties.

VI. INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMIT ISSUANCE PROCEDURES The initial steps in the permitting process begins with the creation of a file for the proposed industrial user. The wastewater discharge permit application and associated forms are then sent to the proposed industrial user. The Industrial Waste Division makes contact with the proposed industrial user to verify receipt. A meeting may be scheduled to assist the proposed industrial user in the completion of the application. The application should be completed and submitted within 90 days.

An existing industrial user applying for permitting or re-permitting shall submit a fully completed discharge permit application 90 days prior to the existing permit expiration date. All required documents ( i.e., plumbing plans, water bills, manifests, etc.) are to be submitted with the application. Extension requests will be considered by Industrial Waste staff.

Ifthe permit application is not submitted within the 90 day time frame, the permit analyst issues a " Correction Notice" ( CN) and pursues the submittal of the application. The Administrative Violation section of this plan identifies the progressive enforcement steps ifthe correction notice does not achieve compliance.

All industrial waste discharge applications must be signed by the authorized Industrial User representative as defined in Redding Municipal Code, Chapter 14. 16 before processing of the 2 Packet Pg. 693 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - 09-01-20 (9.11(g)--Ordinance amending Wastewater Local Discharge Limits) e e
permit can begin. Upon submittal, the application is processed by Industrial Waste Division staff. A post submittal permit inspection may be conducted to verifY the submitted data.

Processing by the Industrial Waste Division then progresses to the issuance of a wastewater discharge permit.

The permit is signed by the Industrial Waste Division supervisor or their designee. The industrial user may request for a ruling on or seek an appeal ofthe permit issued by following the Request for Ruling, and Appeal requirements established in Redding Municipal Code, Chapter

14. 16.

VII. PERMIT REVOCATION
When a permit has been revoked, the City may plug or disconnect the Industrial User' s industrial sewer connection to prevent industrial discharges to the City' s sewer. Any later re-connection will be at the sole expense of the same Industrial User, following issuance of a new wastewater discharge permit by the City.

VIII. CEASE AND DESIST ORDER
A Cease and Desist Order (CDO), permit suspension, or permit revocation can be issued at any time a discharge presents an imminent hazard to the public health, safety or welfare, to the environment, to the City' s sewerage system, to POTW worker safety or welfare, or causing the City to violate it' s NPDES permit to discharge whether alone or in combination with other user contributions.

A monthly summary of all new business licenses issued by the City of Redding is also viewed on the City’s Intranet, printed, reviewed, and filed by Industrial Waste staff.

III. COLLECTING INDUSTRIAL USER INFORMATION AND IDENTIFYING NONCOMPLIANCE Once detailed information is obtained on an Industrial User through an industrial waste survey, an industrial user file is created. If an Industrial User is identified as meeting the definition of a Significant Industrial User (SIU), staff sends an application to the SIU for issuance of an Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit. Upon completion of the permitting process, specific inspection, sampling, monitoring, and enforcement requirements are included in the wastewater discharge permit. Following issuance of an industrial wastewater discharge permit to the SIU, routine inspections, collection of information and sample data begins.

Collecting and distributing specific information on an industry is performed by Industrial Waste staff. The compliance screening process begins with the review of the Industrial User data (i.e. sample analysis data, field inspection reports, correction notices, notice of violations, etc.). The staff review allows the Industrial Waste Section to satisfy the following responsibilities:

1. Numerical and non-numerical violations are reviewed and responded to in a timely manner.

2. Notification is given to the violating Industrial User, to ensure corrective measures are initiated.

3. Initiates tracking and monitoring procedures to achieve compliance.

4. Monitors enforcement activity of staff.

File information is maintained for each permitted SIU. These files generally include SIU facility description, baseline monitoring reports, monitoring data, inspection reports, summary of violations, enforcement actions, phone log, and other relevant information. This historical information is maintained on Industrial Users to evaluate their performance and to monitor any enforcement activity necessary to assure compliance with Redding Municipal Code Chapter

14.16. Packet Pg. 703 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - 09-01-20 (9.11(g)--Ordinance amending Wastewater Local Discharge Limits) ~ 5 ~
IV. SELECTING APPROPRIATE ENFORCEMENT ACTION
The violations and discrepancies identified in the screening process are evaluated to determine the degree of enforcement activity required. The Industrial Waste Section has established defined enforcement policies for differing types of non-compliance, described in Section VII of this document.

Each violation of effluent limits requires enforcement action as described herein. The enforcement procedures are designed to escalate enforcement actions until compliance is achieved.

These procedures also provide a standardized approach for progressing through the enforcement process for any industrial user non-compliance.

V. RESOLVING NON-COMPLIANCE
Chapter 14.16 of the Redding Municipal Code and Industrial Waste Discharge Permits, provide the City with legal mechanisms to enforce the Pretreatment Program required by the City’s NPDES permits. The Industrial Waste Division will utilize a range of enforcement mechanisms to achieve the maximum degree of Industrial User compliance. The enforcement mechanisms range from simple reminders to significant legal penalties. The enforcement mechanisms are separated into two categories: Technical Violations and Administrative Violations.

VI. INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMIT PROCEDURES
The initial steps in the permitting process begins with the creation of a file for the proposed industrial user. The wastewater discharge permit application and associated forms are then sent to the proposed industrial user. The application should be completed and submitted within 90 days. The Industrial Waste division contacts the proposed industrial user several days after the mailing date to verify receipt. A meeting may be scheduled to assist the proposed industrial user in the completion of the application. All industrial waste discharge applications must be signed by the authorized Industrial User representative as defined in Redding Municipal Code, Chapter

14.16 before processing of the permit can begin. Upon submittal, the application is processed by Industrial Waste division staff. A post submittal permit inspection may be conducted to verify the submitted data. Processing by the Industrial Waste staff then progresses to the issuance of a wastewater discharge permit.

If the permit application is not submitted within the 90-day time frame, the Industrial Waste Analyst issues a “Correction Notice” (CN) and pursues the submittal of the application. The Administrative Violation section of this plan identifies the progressive enforcement steps if the correction notice does not achieve compliance. The permit is signed only by the Industrial Waste division supervisor, or designee. The Industrial User may request for a ruling on or seek an appeal of the permit issued by following the Request for Ruling, and Appeal requirements established in Redding Municipal Code, Chapter 14.16.

An existing industrial user applying for permitting or re-permitting shall submit a fully completed discharge permit application 90 days prior to the existing permit expiration date.

Applicants will be provided renewal paperwork by the City of Redding prior to the required date. All required documents (i.e., plumbing plans, water bills, manifests, etc.) are to be Packet Pg. 704 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - 09-01-20 (9.11(g)--Ordinance amending Wastewater Local Discharge Limits) ~ 6 ~
submitted with the application. Extension requests will be considered by IWD (Industrial Waste Division) staff.

VII. PERMIT REVOCATION
When a permit has been revoked, the City may plug or disconnect the Industrial User’s industrial sewer connection to prevent industrial discharges to the City’s sewer. Any later reconnection will be at the sole expense of the same Industrial User, following issuance of a new wastewater discharge permit by the City.

VII. CEASE AND DESIST ORDER
A Cease and Desist Order (CDO), permit suspension, or permit revocation can be issued at any time a discharge presents an imminent hazard to the public health, safety or welfare, to the environment, to the City’s sewerage system, to POTW worker safety or welfare, or causing the City to violate it’s NPDES permit to discharge whether alone or in combination with other user contributions.

D. DEFINITIONS:

RMC 14.16.020 – Best Management Practices
"Best management practices or BMPs" means schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to implement the prohibitions listed in 40 CFR 403.5(a)(1) and (b). BMPs include treatment requirements, operating procedures, and practices to control plant site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or drainage from raw materials storage.

RMC 14.16.640 - Cease and Desist Orders
When the city manager finds that a user has violated or is violating this chapter; or the user's wastewater discharge permit; or any order issued hereunder; or any other pretreatment requirement; or that the user's past violations are likely to recur, he may issue an order to the user directing him to cease and desist all such violations and directing the user to:

A. Immediately comply with all requirements; and
B. Take such appropriate remedial or preventive action as may be needed to properly address a continuing or threatened violation, including halting operations and/or terminating the discharge. The issuance of a cease and desist order shall not be a prerequisite to taking any other action against the user. (Ord. 2291 § 1 (part), 2002)
RMC 14.16.480 - Enforcement Response Plan
Except as hereinafter provided, all persons discharging industrial wastewater to the city's sewer collection system shall be governed by the city's enforcement response plan procedures. Said plan may be adopted by resolution of the city council, and amended from time-to-time as necessary.
(Ord. 2291 § 1 (part), 2002)
RMC 14.16.600 - Notification of Violation
Whenever the city manager finds that any user has violated or is violating this chapter, a wastewater discharge permit, or an order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment requirement, the city manager may serve upon said user a written notice of violation. Within seven days of the receipt of this notice, an explanation of the violation and a plan for the satisfactory correction and prevention thereof shall be submitted by the user to the municipal utilities director. Submission of this plan in no way relieves the user of liability for any violations occurring before or after receipt of the notice of violation. Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the city to take any action, including emergency actions or any other enforcement action, without first issuing a notice of violation.
(Ord. 2374 § 15 (part), 2006: Ord. 2291 § 1 (part), 2002) (Ord. No. 2429, § 10, 1-20-2009)

RMC 14.16.020 – Publicly Owned Treatment Works
"POTW" means publicly owned treatment works of the city, including: the entire facilities for collecting, transporting, pumping, treating, and disposing of domestic and industrial wastewaters, located within and outside the city limits and either owned, operated, maintained, or controlled by the city.

RMC 14.16.020 – Significant Industrial User
"Significant industrial user (SIU)" except as provided in paragraphs c. and d. of this section, means:
a. All industrial users subject to categorical pretreatment standards, or b. Any other industrial user that:
(1) Discharges an average of twenty-five thousand gallons per day or more of process wastewaters (excluding domestic wastewater, noncontact cooling water, and boiler blowdown wastewater), or
2) Contributes a process waste stream which makes up five percent or more of the average dry weather hydraulic or organic (BOD or SS) capacity of a treatment plant, or (3) Pretreats wastewater prior to discharge to the wastewater collection system, or (4) Has in his or her wastes toxic pollutants listed under Section 307 of the Clean Water Act, or
(5) Has a reasonable potential, in the opinion of the director of municipal utilities, to have a significant impact on the treatment system, either singly or in combination with other dischargers to the system.
c. The city may determine that an industrial user subject to categorical pretreatment standards is a non-significant categorical industrial user (NSCIU) rather than a significant industrial user on a finding that the industrial user never discharges more than one hundred gallons per day (gpd) of total categorical wastewater (excluding domestic, non-contact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewater, unless specifically included in the pretreatment standard) and the following conditions are met:
i. The industrial user, prior to the city's finding, has consistently complied with all applicable categorical pretreatment standards and requirements; ii. The industrial user annually submits the certification statement required in 40 CFR 403.12(q), together with any additional information necessary to support the certification statement; and
iii. The industrial user never discharges any untreated concentrated wastewater. d. Upon a finding that a user meeting the criteria in subsection b. of this part has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the city may at any time, on its own initiative or in response to a petition received from an industrial user, and in accordance with procedures in 40 CFR 403.8(f)(6), determine that such user should not be considered a significant industrial user.

RMC 14.16.020 – Significant Noncompliance
"Significant noncompliance" (SNC). An industrial user is in "significant noncompliance" if its violation meets one or more of the following criteria:
a. Chronic violations of wastewater discharge limits, defined here as those in which sixtysix percent or more of all of the measurements taken for the same pollutant parameter taken during a six-month period exceed (by any magnitude) a numeric pretreatment standard or requirement, including instantaneous limits.
b. Technical review criteria (TRC) violations, defined here as those in which thirty-three percent or more of all of the measurements taken for the same pollutant parameter during a six-month period equal or exceeds the product of the numeric pretreatment standard or requirement including instantaneous limits, multiplied by the applicable TRC (TRC = 1.4 for BOD, TSS, fats, oil, and grease, and 1.2 for all other pollutants except pH). c. Any other violation of a pretreatment standard or requirement (daily maximum, long-term average, instantaneous limit, or narrative standard) that the city determines has caused, alone or in combination with other discharges, interference or pass through, including endangering the health of city personnel or the general public. d. Any discharge of a pollutant that has caused imminent endangerment to human health, welfare, or to the environment, or has resulted in the city's exercise of its emergency authority under 40 CFR 403.8(f)(1)(vi)(B) to halt or prevent such a discharge. e. Failure to meet, within ninety days after the schedule date, a compliance schedule milestone contained in a wastewater discharge permit or enforcement order for starting construction, completing construction, or attaining final compliance. f. Failure to provide, within forty-five days after the due date, any required reports such as baseline monitoring reports, ninety-day compliance reports, reports on compliance with categorical pretreatment standards or deadlines, periodic self-monitoring reports, and reports on compliance with compliance schedules.
g. Failure to accurately report noncompliance.
h. Any other violation or group of violations, which may include a violation of best management practices, which the city determines will adversely affect the operation or implementation of the local pretreatment program.
