District Manager
Ann Morningstar
President
Residents of the Shasta Mosquito and Vector Control District, On behalf of the Board of Trustees and staff of the District, we are pleased to present the 2021 Annual Report for the Shasta Mosquito and Vector Control District. As I began to write the foreword for the 2021 Annual Report, the first thought was the word déjà vu. The feeling that this foreword was going to sound a lot like the one from 2020. However, as I stopped and reflected further, it was clear that, although we met some of the same challenges experienced in the previous year, such as wildfires, COVID-19 response, and invasive Aedes, the lessons we learned from the year before built a resilience in our staff that truly carried us through another tough season. Instead, the best way to summarize the season in a few words is “over in the blink of an eye.” This could be interpreted many ways, but for us, we were so busy and focused on providing effective public health mosquito control, the year flew by in a way that seemed almost unnatural. This is one of the many reasons we publish our annual report, to provide a snapshot of every season that we can share with our stakeholders and highlight the efforts of our staff.
This season, in addition to our continued focus on the health and safety of our staff and residents, we saw an unfortunate increase in both the locations we discovered invasive Aedes mosquitoes and in the sheer abundance of adults we collected in traps. Part of this increase is attributed to more comprehensive surveillance in infested areas, but still brings concerns regarding how widespread our invasive Aedes issues extend. With a season under our belt, we responded aggressively to all new and existing finds. We also stayed engaged in novel technologies and products that are being tested and operationally utilized to help with the control and eradication of these dangerous mosquitoes. The reality is that we will likely be working with these new mosquitos for at least the foreseeable future and finding new solutions will be essential to making progress toward eliminating them from Shasta County.
Finally, 2021 brought with it some big changes. As we close out the year, we say goodbye and thank you to our Assistant Manager, Guangye Hu PhD. Guangye worked for the District just shy of 10 years, and during that time, brought his years of expertise to Shasta County residents.
Every employee that passes through our doors fulltime, parttime, or seasonal, leaves an impact on our community and helps to contribute to our mission: “To protect the public’s health from vector-borne disease and nuisance, through a comprehensive mosquito and vector control program focused on innovation, experience and efficiency.” Thank you to the staff, Board of Trustees, and the residents of Shasta County for the continued support.
Sincerely,

MANAGEMENT
Providing responsive, professional,
and impactful service to our
residents is an essential piece
of our mission as a public health
agency. These interactions with the
public often provide the first step
to any surveillance effort. During
these service requests, we are
able to learn from the public and
hear their issues, but also share
information regarding personal
protection and help prevent
future mosquito issues. While the
majority of our service requests
come from residents experiencing
high numbers of adult mosquitoes,
we also respond to mosquitofish
requests, neglected swimming pool
reports and insect identification
requests. These requests help focus
our efforts and provide information
SERVICE REQUESTS
This Annual Report theme is “Integrated Vector
Management (IVM) in Action.” We are constantly
applying IVM principles to every element of our
work, but sometimes struggle to communicate
IVM and its importance in a modern Vector
Control Program. So, this year we’ll not
only define IVM, but we’ll also show how
it relates to our day-to-day operations.
IVM is an evidence, data-driven decisionmaking tool used to suppress vector-borne diseases. IVM prioritizes surveillance as the
start to any control decision. Our District
employs both immature and adult mosquito
surveillance, tracking species composition,
mosquito abundance and disease prevalence.
Throughout the Annual Report we’ll be
highlighting elements of IVM strategy that we
utilize every day. These strategies include public
education, physical control preventative practices,
biological control, and chemical control. When
implementing our surveillance and control program, we
also continually evaluate our strengths and weaknesses, intervention costs and effectiveness to identify what combination in a given area is most appropriate for the current risk posed to the public health from mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases.

CONTROL
Controlling mosquitoes before they ever emerge
from the water sources is the most efficient and
effective way to reduce adult mosquitoes and
prevent mosquito transmitted diseases. Much
of our staff time is spent inspecting and treating
these, over 16,000, standing water sources.
If immature mosquitoes are found
in the water source, District
staff have several tools in the
IVM tool chest to control
the mosquitoes before
they emerge. These IVM
control methods include:
physical control, biological
control, and chemical
control. Following IVM,
we choose the appropriate
control tool or multiple
tools, depending on the
target species, time of year,
and habitat, to achieve the most
effective control. This year our
staff made over 17,000 inspections and
performed over 4,000 interventions.
Physical control means
manipulating the habitats where
immature mosquitoes live to
eliminate or reduce further
breeding. Physical control often
is integrated with chemical and
biological control in successful IVM
programs. It is cost effective and
has a long term effect on mosquito
populations. With effective
physical control, pesticide use is

Inspections by Habitat
greatly reduced. Physical control
activities range from practices
including hand brushing, ditch
cleaning, controlled burning of
debris piles, and herbiciding, to
simply dumping water containers
or shutting off irrigation water
runoff. These methods reduce
larval mosquito sources and adult
mosquito habitats and provide
access to inspect
and treat mosquito
sources.
In 2021, our staff
made the following
physical control
efforts:

Chemical control of immature
mosquitoes includes the use of
products, called larvicides, that help
reduce mosquito populations in the
water before they emerge as adults.
These larvicides are often very
specific in targeting mosquitoes.
These controls are categorized
into the following categories:
microbial products, insect growth
regulators, surface oils, and natural
toxins derived from bacteria.
In 2021, staff made over 4,000
applications to water containing
immature mosquitoes and used
over 30 different products and
formulations. Treatments can be for
sources of less than a few ounces
of water, up to multiple acres
of mosquito producing habitat.
Sources treated with chemical
control products often need to be
re-inspected regularly to ensure
the product is still producing the
level of control sufficient to prevent
emerging adults.
BIOLOGICAL CONTROL
Biological control or “biocontrol”
is the use of natural enemies
to suppress mosquito
populations. It is an important
component of Integrated Vector
Management (IVM). Biocontrol
is safe, environmentally friendly,
sustainable, and helps to reduce
prolonged use of pesticides. Our
District has been mass producing
mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis,
and use it as a biocontrol agent
to control mosquito populations
successfully. One mosquitofish can
consume hundreds of mosquito
larvae and pupae each day when
released in the confined water
sources which breed mosquitoes.
Mosquitofish adapt well to various
environmental conditions, rapidly
reproduce, and are an effective
and sustainable tool to control
mosquitoes.
In 2021, the district:
• Supplied 18.4 pounds of
mosquitofish for field release.
• Released mosquitofish into
over 800 mosquito sources,
including bird baths, animal
troughs, neglected swimming
pools, water puddles,
recreational ponds, etc.
• Treated a total of 375 acres of
confined water bodies.
• Produced 23 pounds of
mosquitofish from our indoor
rearing facility.
• Responded to 228 service
requests for mosquitofish
from the public.

SWIMMING POOL
PROGRAM
When a swimming pool is not
maintained, the large volume
of standing water in the pool is
perfect for breeding mosquitoes,
which can transmit life-threatening
viruses such as Zika, dengue,
and West Nile virus. Our District
identifies neglected swimming
pools by service requests from
the public, inspection by our
technicians, and aerial imaging.
Each year, the staff inspects 100’s
of pools and treats those that have
mosquito breeding potential.
During the winter and early spring
of 2021, the staff inspected 287
neglected swimming pools as
follow-ups to fish releases and
pesticide treatments conducted in
the previous season. Of the pools
inspected, 25% were found to need
mosquito fish and/or chemical
treatment.
During the summer, our District
continued using a contracted
aerial service provider to detect
neglected swimming pools by
aerial imagery. A total of 443 pools
were identified and inspected
by staff. Of the pools inspected,
86% were maintained and did not
require treatment. Only 14% were
found to be unmaintained with
mosquito breeding potential and
were treated with chemical control
products and mosquito fish.

PROGRAM
Catch basins are sumps directly
under storm drains, and are
preferred habitats for mosquito
larvae, especially for Culex
species that have the potential to
transmit West Nile virus. During
the summer, the staff inspected
more than 1,500 catch basins
that were previously treated or in
areas of special concern. Nearly
half of the catch basins were
found breeding mosquitoes and
requiring treatment. Treatments
primarily consisted of using a
bacterial product providing up to
180-day residual control. Follow-up
inspections and treatments were
conducted in areas with special
concerns throughout the season.
CATCH BASIN
3D PRINTED BASKETS
During the 2021 season, the
District deployed new 3d printed
larvicide baskets, designed to float
a particular product in the catch
basin above settled mud and debris.
Each basket printed as 1 piece in
our 3d printer. Once closed with
the product inside, the float disc
was added to the top, and a binder
ring and product label were added
to lock it up. It was suspended by
coated wire cable and attached at
the top of the catch basin with a
carabiner for basket retrieval and
inspection.
We tried the baskets in catch
basins that have a history of
product failure (6 sites were
identified), and of those, 3 had
been cleaned out and were no
longer viable trial sites for the
baskets.
In a heavily organic, dense catch
basin, it appeared the product
was not dispersing well enough to
control larvae efficiently after about
3 months. In another less dense
basin with slow, constant water
flow, it provided effective control
for about 4 months from May
through the end of August, with no
larvae at all. We reapplied another
larvicide briquet into one of those
baskets at that time because it had
been reduced to the size of a nickel.
In normal applications at these
same heavily organic catch basins,
the larvicide failed after about 6
weeks.

Attachment: 2021 Annual Report (2A--Presentation of Shasta Mosquito & Vector Control District’s 2021 Annual Report) 9 ADULT MOSQUITO
CHEMICAL CONTROL
Controlling adult mosquitoes
is an integral component of a
comprehensive IVM program.
These applications can immediately
reduce the number of biting
mosquitoes in an area thereby
lowering the risk of a mosquitoborne disease outbreak. This becomes essential when adult
mosquito numbers become
high enough to quickly transmit
and spread diseases. Although
adult mosquito control has its
limitations, it is the only way to
interrupt active mosquito disease
transmission when it is occurring.
These limitations mean the District
must apply the adult mosquito
control operations with several
other IVM tools including an
aggressive immature mosquito
control program, increased
community outreach for bite
prevention, and as much mosquito
source reduction as is feasible. No
additional precautions are required
for our residents during these
applications because of the low
application rates, typically less than
3 ounces per acre. Additionally,
the size of the droplet, the time
of the application (dusk/dawn),
and the knowledge of critical
habitats mitigate any non-target
impacts. Our applications are
made dynamically, in response to
our adult mosquito surveillance.
This could mean applications are
made the same night or next day,
as the trap data is processed. This
level of responsiveness ensures we
can move fast enough to prevent
human disease. This year, District
staff completed 344 adult mosquito
control routes and treated over
65,000 acres. Residents can visit
our website: www.shastamosquito.
org to review where and when our
adult mosquito applications will be
conducted, or to subscribe to our
spray notifications via email or text
message.

SURVEILLANCE
Mosquito surveillance is a
fundamental element of integrated
vector management and guides
control decisions. Staff use a variety
of traps to collect adult mosquitoes
which provides data on the total
population and disease presence in
the environment.
Larval Mosquito Surveillance
Mosquito larvae are confined to
standing water sources and are
limited to water sources that are
suitable to their development.
Different mosquito species
can tolerate different ranges of
environmental factors, such as
temperature and pollution levels.
A thorough knowledge of habitat
preferences, coupled with historical
data of larval abundance, allows
staff to monitor larvae in known
and suspected sources.
Vector ecology staff identify
every mosquito captured to sex
and species to gain insight into
the abundance and composition
of the mosquito population
throughout the district. Each
collection is a snapshot of the
mosquito population, and together
the collections show how the
population changes over time.
As shown in the graph below, the
western tree hole mosquito, Aedes
sierrensis, emerges rapidly. Their
population peaks and recedes
within a few weeks of emergence
between about March and June. .
Mid to late summer is marked by
the increase of Culex spp. which are
vectors of West Nile virus. Similarly,
invasive Aedes spp. mosquito
populations increase during this
time and can be found well into fall
in certain areas of the District.

February. In February and March,
Dermacentor spp. ticks, which
are more heat tolerant, begin
to increase as a proportion of
adult tick populations within the
District. Dermacentor spp. ticks are
frequently encountered by District
personnel in moist riparian areas
with dense, low vegetation well
into the summer. These ticks are
a lower human disease concern in
Shasta County.
Overall tick populations averaged
20.2% below the 10-year average,
but 28% above 2019 –2020
seasonal levels throughout the
collection season.
Between October of 2020 and
March of 2021, the District
submitted a total of 318 samples
of 3 - 5 Ixodes pacificus ticks each
(1429 total ticks) from 19 different
locations spread throughout the
District. In total, 14 samples from
8 different locations were found to
be positive for Borrelia miyamotoi,
a bacterium known to cause a
relapsing fever disease in humans.
Two of those locations also had
samples positive for Borrelia
burgdorferi, the causative agent
for Lyme Disease. The minimum
infection rate for all tested ticks
was 9.8 ticks per 1,000 for Borrelia
miyamotoi and 1.4 per 1,000 for
Borrelia burgdorferi.

analysis techniques. The District
does not currently have the
expertise or equipment to conduct

university researchers conducting
such research.
COLLABORATION
Cage trials are used to assess
whether adult mosquito control

On August 8, the District ran
3 cage trials using a pyrethroid

and a natural pyrethrum product.
Despite unfavorable wind speeds
and direction, good efficacy was
observed for runs where conditions
allowed the products to reach the

In 2021, a total of 82 samples
of the invasive mosquito Aedes
aegypti from 4 geographical
areas of infestation were
submitted to UC Davis for
genetic characterization. We also
submitted samples totaling 145
local Culex tarsalis mosquitoes to
Pennsylvania State University for
researchers studying the genetics
of that species throughout its
range in the US.
Some results of genetic testing
of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
submitted to UC Davis for genetic
analysis in 2020 were received
by the District in early 2021. The
results showed that our Aedes
aegypti were closely related to
mosquitoes from the greater Los
Angeles area. Also, our mosquitoes
had fewer of some genetic markers
associated with pesticide resistance
than other Aedes aegypti collected
throughout the state.
Packet Pg. 22
Attachment: 2021 Annual Report (2A--Presentation of Shasta Mosquito & Vector Control District’s 2021 Annual Report) 13 Bottle bioassays use tiny amounts of pesticide active ingredients coating the inside of bottles to check for
early signs of pesticide tolerance in local mosquito
types. Wild mosquitoes are placed in treated bottles
alongside bottles with known susceptible lab-reared
mosquitoes. The time that it takes for the wild
mosquitoes to die is compared to the susceptible
mosquitoes and using standard times provided by
the CDC, who also provides materials for the bottle
bioassays.
In 2021, the District ran bioassays on three occasions
in June, July and September, respectively to monitor
for changes in susceptibility to mosquito control
products throughout the season. Samples of Culex
BOTTLE BIOASSAYS pipiens mosquitoes from three locations were tested using the active ingredients permethrin, deltamethrin,
pyrethrum and malathion. As in years past, some
tolerance to pyrethroid ingredients was observed,
which did not seem to affect the results of cage trials that were conducted in August.
Bottle bioassays can provide some early indications of
the presence and potential mechanisms of pesticide
tolerance, depending on the type of active ingredients
tested. Ideally signs of tolerance can be detected
before resistance affects the efficacy of treatments in the field. To adequately assess whether resistance is
affecting the efficacy of adult mosquito control efforts, actual mosquito control products must also be tested
under field conditions, using other methods such as
cage trials.
A rotator trap uses 8 collection jars mounted on a
timed “carrousel” to take adult mosquito samples from
the environment at preset time intervals over a time
range, such as sunset to sunrise, to determine changes
in mosquito activity levels over time. Such knowledge
enables the District to time adult mosquito control
treatments to the times of peak adult mosquito
activity, thereby increasing the efficacy of mosquito
control efforts.
A rotator trap was set on six occasions in 2021 at
a total of five locations. Four trappings were done
in early to mid-summer to characterize mosquito
activity at the seasonal time of peak temperatures
and peak mosquito activity. The trap was set on two
more occasions in early fall to see in what ways adult
mosquito activity changed under conditions with
lower daily temperatures.
ROTATOR TRAP This limited data indicates that in high temperature conditions there is a lag while nighttime temperatures
cool before mosquitoes become active in the
environment. Conversely, when the weather is colder,
mosquitoes seem to have their peak activity close to
dusk and retreat from the environment through the
night as temperatures drop. All data shows higher
mosquito activity between dusk and midnight than in
the predawn hours.

Attachment: 2021 Annual Report (2A--Presentation of Shasta Mosquito & Vector Control District’s 2021 Annual Report) 14 INVASIVE AEDES
Unfortunately, as mentioned in the
foreword, 2021 saw the continued
increase in number and geographic
scope for our invasive Aedes
infestation. These invasive Aedes,
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus,
are a worry for several reasons. The
most concerning is the ability of
these two mosquitoes to transmit
diseases that we currently do not
have in Shasta County, including
Zika, dengue, yellow fever and
chikungunya. We continued to
respond aggressively to existing
and new immature and adult finds.
With each new location, we begin
our intervention by conducting
door-to-door inspections of the
surrounding properties. We provide
public education to residents about
the species and potential sources.
We also increase our surveillance,
trapping adult mosquitoes and
surveying for larval mosquitoes.
This triggers the deployment of
our autodissemination ovitraps,
the application of larval control
products through our wide area
larviciding (WALS) technology, and
in most instances, adult mosquito
control to reduce the actively flying
adults.
As we continue to identify
more locations, the potential
for eradication becomes lower;
however, we will continue to work
toward dramatically reducing their
numbers and tracking any potential
local transmission of the novel
diseases they transmit to ensure
the chance for local transmission
remains low. New control options
are quickly moving to the market,
like sterile insect techniques (SIT),
that could provide additional
exciting tools to add to our
toolbox when dealing with these
challenging mosquitoes.

Attachment: 2021 Annual Report (2A--Presentation of Shasta Mosquito & Vector Control District’s 2021 Annual Report) 15 Even before the first invasive
mosquito species was confirmed
within District boundaries in
August 2020, vector ecology staff
had used several specific traps to
monitor for the introduction of
non-native mosquitoes. In 2021,
the Biogents gravid Aedes trap (BG
GAT) was the most commonly used
trap that specifically targets the
invasive Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
BG GATs were cumulatively
operated for more than 3600 trap
nights across 40 different locations.
TRAPS FOR
INVASIVE AEDES
One of the newer technologies
the District is employing in areas
of known invasive Aedes is the
deployment of the In2Care trap.
These traps utilize two methods to
help reduce the populations of both
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus.
After the pregnant female mosquito
is attracted to the trap they enter
the trap and come into contact
with two mosquito control
products; the first will eliminate the
female mosquito after a few days
and the other will be transported
to any additional water sources the
female encounters after leaving the
trap, providing additional control to
those immature mosquitoes.
TREATMENT FOR
INVASIVE AEDES
Staff performing a WALS treatment
via a truck mounted applicator.
Staff performing a WALS
treatment via backpack
applicator.
Staff placing an
In2Care trap.
Due to the cryptic nature of
the invasive Aedes mosquitoes,
identifying and treating all the
breeding sources is almost
impossible. Therefore, the district
utilizes a specialty mist blower
that sends our BTi product in
tiny droplets up, over and around
homes, foliage, and any other
obstacle with the hope that the
product will come in contact with
any exposed water sources in
residential backyards. Although our
use of this technology is fairly new,
it was tested and shown effective
during Zika outbreaks in Florida
during the 2016 response.

SURVEILLANCE
Dead Bird Reports
A single, yellow-billed magpie
reported to the District in
September was the only wild bird
collected that was suitable for West
Nile virus (WNV) testing in 2021.
It was negative for WNV. The last
wild bird found positive for WNV
within the District was a scrub jay
from north Redding collected in
2019.
Sentinel Chicken Seroconversion
Chickens are used to monitor for
virus transmission at fixed locations
and time periods. A positive test
result indicates more precisely
where and when virus transmission
has occurred. Three sentinel
chickens were infected with WNV
in 2021. The first was discovered
during mid-July, while the second
and third returned positive results
in early October and were from the
same flock.
Humans & Horses
Three human cases of WNV were
reported within Shasta County in
2021. Two of those were within the
District, including one fatality. The
additional case was reported from
outside the District boundaries.
There were no reported cases of
WNV in horses.
Mosquito Samples
Mosquitoes are collected in groups
of 12-50 and then sampled for
the presence of viruses that can
cause illness in humans. In 2021,
635 samples were submitted for
testing. Of these, 28 samples were
positive for West Nile virus from
18 different locations. A total of
16,631 individual mosquitoes were
tested.
The District uses several methods
to monitor the presence and
incidence of mosquito-borne
viruses in the environment which
may cause disease in humans.
These methods include testing
dead birds, sentinel chicken blood
collections, and mosquito samples
for evidence of West Nile virus
(WNV), Saint Louis encephalitis
virus (SLEV), and western equine
encephalomyelitis virus (WEEV),
mosquito-borne diseases that
have all historically been found
in California. Additionally, limited
information is reported to the
District when horses or humans
become infected with a mosquitoborne disease. A positive result from any of these indicators
prompts swift response to disrupt
the transmission cycle.

16 Most mosquito districts
throughout California utilize a
statewide database to collect,
store and analyze vector
population and West Nile virus
data. In 2021, all disease
indicators, as well as human cases,
declined within the state
compared to 2020 and the
five-year average.
In contrast to West Nile virus, there
were far fewer incidence of St.
Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) in
mosquito samples. Human cases
remain low and comparable to the
number diagnosed in 2020. SLEV
was detected in 2015 after several
years without any detection of
the virus whatsoever. Since its
reemergence, it has been isolated
at very low levels in mosquitoes,
sentinel chicken blood samples, and
very rarely as the causative agent
of human illness.
St. Louis encephalitis virus
West Nile virus
Some mosquito-borne illnesses
that have been historically recorded
in California, such as western
equine encephalomyelitis virus
(WEEV) and malaria, are reported
and monitored by the California
Department of Public Health
(CDPH). Other emerging vectorborne viruses, such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever,
which could present new public
health threats, are also tracked
Other Mosquito-borne Diseases
by CPDH. Although there are
occasional human cases of some
of these diseases detected in
international travelers, no evidence
of any of these diseases being
spread locally by mosquitoes was
detected in California in 2021.

Attachment: 2021 Annual Report (2A--Presentation of Shasta Mosquito & Vector Control District’s 2021 Annual Report) 18 As a key pillar in the District’s
Integrated Vector Management
approach, the District’s Outreach
and Public Education efforts
have continued to develop,
and this year is no exception.
To improve awareness, we
continue to maintain and
update our device-responsive
District website and social
media platforms, to reach our
community on a digital level. Our
seasonally designated local radio
and television PSAs continued to
roll this year, and we also onboarded
geo-targeted streaming services to air our
video PSAs via Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung TV,
and other streaming services. This new media service
allowed us to reach over 62,000 impressions with an
average view completion rate of over 95%, improving
our reach within our District at a minimal cost.
In addition to digital outreach, we also participated
in a limited number of outdoor community events,
providing informational booths manned by our
District staff, where we distributed a wide variety
of educational materials. These events also provide
opportunities for our constituents to
have one-on-one conversations and
learn about our District programs.
Some community events, such as
the STEM Career Fairs, pivoted
to a virtual format, in which
we produced 2 STEM Career
themed videos in-house and
participated in 4 Live Q & A
chats via Zoom and Google
Meet. In the production of
these videos and virtual chats, we
created a Missy Keeto animated
cartoon, allowing our District mosquito
mascot to speak with students, even
during live virtual events.
Acknowledging the increase in clinic foot traffic,
our District partnered with Shasta County Public
Health to provide activity books and educational
brochures to our local clinics. Similarly, we also
provided educational materials to our Shasta County
Agricultural Department of Weights and Measures
for lobby information, as well as distribution to their state association to encourage communication with
their local mosquito control agencies.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve the following actions related to the Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site:
(1) Grant a permit to St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church (St. James) for Goodwater Crossing, a short-term, temporary Emergency Housing Site (EHS) for no more than four (4) sleeping cabins at 2500 Shasta View Drive (APN 109-220-024) for a one-year term; (2) Direct staff to seek Planning Commission authorization to increase the number of cabins not to exceed 12.
(3) Authorize the City Manager to make minor modifications to the Operations and Services Manual and Site Plan to facilitate the final Goodwater Crossing EHS approval process and to set the one-year term start date; and
(4) Based on the facts in the record, make the finding that the subject permit is categorically exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guideline Section 15061(b)(3) and 15304, Class 4 Minor Alterations to Land.
Fiscal Impact
Housing Division staff will assist with coordinating and monitoring the Goodwater Crossing EHS which is included in the Housing Division’s budget. Other departmental staff time by the Development Services, Fire, and Public Works Departments are provided as part of the no-fee permit services and are included in the corresponding budgets for each.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose to modify the Goodwater Crossing EHS permit and provide direction to staff. The Council could choose not to approve the Goodwater Crossing EHS, and staff would continue to work with other community partners to facilitate an EHS in another location.

Report to Redding City Council June 14, 2022
Re: 4.1(b)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site Page 2 Background/Analysis
In June 2021, the Council adopted a resolution that declared the City of Redding (City) has a shelter crisis and subsequently approved Ordinances 2637 and 2638 and the associated Administrative Guidelines which collectively set forth the requirements and process for the City to review and authorize, through a permit approved by the Council, the establishment and operation of EHSs.
On May 17, 2022, the Council conceptually approved the Goodwater Crossing EHS, as presented by staff, conditioned upon a CEQA determination. The property area associated with the EHS permit is a vacant, undeveloped area situated to the west of the improved portion of the property that includes a church facility and parking lot. The area of consideration consists of less than 12,000 square-feet. The proposed improvements to the permitted area will not include tree removal, the area is not a wetland, and the landscape improvements are minimal to enhance the site. Lighting will be minimal pedestrian lighting; noise impact will be related to human interaction; and traffic will be light due to the tenants not likely having vehicles. Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, there is no substantial evidence that the proposed permit could have a significant effect on the environment. Staff recommends the Council finds that there is no possible significant effect directly related to the project because it will not cause a substantial or adverse physical change in the environment, therefore no further action is required under CEQA 15061(b)(3) and, independently, that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA under Section 15304, Class 4 Minor Alterations to Land.
If the Goodwater Crossing EHS is approved by the City Council, following the City Manager’s final approval of Goodwater Crossing Micro-Shelter Communities Operations and Services Manual and Site Plan, site improvements would begin June 2022 with the intent to begin operating the Goodwater Crossing EHS in summer 2022. Pursuant to Ordinance 2637, the term of any EHS is limited to one year and may be renewed by notifying the City Manager 90-days before the end of the one-year term. The one-year term will begin on the first day of operation as determined by the City Manager.
Goodwater Crossing EHS is an opportunity to assist the unsheltered by providing a safe place to live so they may build stability and self-sufficiency while bridging from an unsheltered lifestyle to permanent housing.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve Goodwater Crossing as a short-term, temporary Emergency Housing Site (EHS) of no more than 12 sleeping cabins at 2500 Shasta View Drive (Assessor Parcel No. 109-220-024) for a one-year term; and authorize the City Manager to make minor modifications to the Operations and Services Manual and Site Plan to facilitate the final Goodwater Crossing EHS approval process and to set the one-year term start date.
Fiscal Impact
Housing Division staff will assist with coordinating and monitoring the Goodwater Crossing EHS which is included in the Housing Division’s budget. Other departmental staff time by Development Services, Fire, and Public Works are provided as part of the no-fee permit services and are included in their corresponding budgets.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose to modify the Goodwater Crossing EHS proposal and provide direction to staff. Alternatively, the Council could choose not to approve Goodwater Crossing EHS and staff would continue to work with other community partners to facilitate an EHS in another location.
Background/Analysis
In June 2021, the Council adopted a resolution that declared the City of Redding (City) has a shelter crisis and subsequently approved Ordinances 2637 and 2638 and the associated Administrative Guidelines which collectively set forth the requirements and process for the City to review and authorize, through a permit approved by the Council, the establishment and operation of EHSs.
MEETING DATE: May 17, 2022
ITEM NO. 9.2(a)
FROM:
***APPROVED BY***

SUBJECT: 9.2(a)--Consider approval of the Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site.
Steve Bade, Deputy City
Manager

Attachment: Previous Staff Report - 05-17-22 (4.1(b)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site) Report to Redding City Council May 10, 2022
Re: 9.2(a)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site Page 2 An EHS provides short-term, emergency, and temporary housing to not more than 30 individuals using Emergency Sleeping Cabins as defined in Appendix O of the California Building Code.
Each EHS must adhere to the Administrative Guidelines and develop and post Good Neighbor Policies addressing the EHS premises and the immediate surrounding neighborhood. These policies must clearly show provisions for how the EHS actively discourages and addresses excessive noise or loitering from EHS participants and others who may be near the site. Where applicable, the EHS must demonstrate coordination with other service providers and community partners to address the above issues and the impacts of each. To comply with these requirements, each EHS must submit an operations plan that conforms to the Administrative Guidelines to the City Manager’s Office for initial review and approval as part of the permit issuance process.
In December 2021, the Congregation Council of St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church (St.
James) in America submitted to the City a statement of intention to pursue the development, installation, and management of a micro shelter community on church property, specifically for Goodwater Crossing EHS. This effort is in cooperation with local community partners including the "Micro Shelter Community" group led by Laural Park. They anticipate that their location will contain up to twelve temporary sleeping cabins and the associated supplemental structures.
Pursuant to the Administrative Guidelines, written notifications must be sent to all property owners with a 600-foot radius of the EHS. The St. James group sent the notification in January and held informational meetings in January and February 2022 for the neighbors and community.
In addition, in February, they shared a newsletter with the surrounding neighbors.
In February 2022, St. James submitted their Goodwater Crossing Micro-Shelter Communities Operations and Services Manual (Manual) to the City Manager’s Office for review and approval.
Pursuant to the City’s Administrative Guidelines for EHSs, the Manual contains the required health and safety provisions, EHS site standards, operations/administrative guidelines, program criteria, and the facility requirements that include: admission requirements; security; participant responsibilities and rights; and programmatic parameters, such as hours of operation, curfew, good neighbor policies, and facility standards. On April 5, 2022, the City Manager’s Office initially approved the Manual conditioned upon the Council’s approval.
Ordinance 2637 states that an EHS must be situated more than 500 feet from a child care center, school, formal park, or museum and shall be situated not less than one-half mile from any other EHS. Considering these criteria, the Goodwater Crossing EHS is a qualifying location.
As proposed, the Goodwater Crossing EHS will be located on the south west portion of the St.
James’s Church property with site plan amenities that include:
1. Initially, four emergency sleeping cabins that consists of three single-occupancy units and one double-occupancy unit. The sleeping cabins will be constructed by the California Heritage YouthBuild Academy (CHYBA) and have been approved by the Building Official.
2. Common site items that include: compacted all-weather gravel road; four-foot wide accessible path of traveling; pedestrian lighting; common gathering area; portable restrooms and bathrooms; outdoor storage units; fencing; and site screening improvements.
Packet Pg. 88
Attachment: Previous Staff Report - 05-17-22 (4.1(b)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site) Report to Redding City Council May 10, 2022
Re: 9.2(a)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site Page 3 The noted site plan amenities are consistent with the Guidelines and Ordinances. City staff from the Building and Planning Divisions, Fire Department and Public Works Department are in the process of completing final comments to the site plan and preparing them for the City Manager’s approval.
If the Goodwater Crossing EHS is approved by the City Council, site improvements will start in May 2022 with the intent to begin operating the Goodwater Crossing EHS in summer 2022.
Pursuant to Ordinance 2637, the term of any EHS is limited to one year and may be renewed by notifying the City Manager 90-days before the end of the one-year term. The one-year term will be based on the first day of operation as deemed by the City Manager.
The Goodwater Crossing EHS will be operated by a program manager, local service providers, and volunteers. Operational services include: an on-site coordinator that will be on-site or on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week; referral services; housing case management; workshop and learning opportunities; and health and wellness. Operational and capital costs for the Goodwater Crossing EHS are estimated to be $338,000 which are projected to be funded by grants and donations.
Participants of the Goodwater Crossing EHS are subject to rules, rights, responsibilities, Good Neighbor Policies, and ultimately will sign a Resident Community Agreement. The goal is to provide participants a safe place to address the issues that led to their homelessness. Each participant is limited to a maximum stay of 10 months.
The crisis of unsheltered homelessness in Redding is one that impacts the entire community, both those experiencing homelessness and the broader community of housed residents, businesses, and neighborhoods. Goodwater Crossing EHS is an opportunity to assist the unsheltered by providing a safe place to live so they may build stability and self-sufficiency while bridging from an unsheltered lifestyle to permanent housing.
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.”
• 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.” Attachments

The City of Redding Administrative Guidelines for Emergency Housing Sites (hereafter “EHS”) are intended to help guide the delivery of EHS services and the development of the operations plan as required by the City of Redding Ordinance.
Packet Pg. 93
Attachment: Administrative Guidelines - Emergency Housing Sites (4.1(b)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site) City of Redding Administrative Guidelines Emergency Housing Sites 5 GENERAL
1. The health and safety of participants, volunteers and staff should be safeguarded within each EHS.
2. Each EHS shall create equal opportunities for all persons needing emergency housing services by prohibiting discrimination due to religious affiliation, race, color, national origin, ancestry, political or religious beliefs, language, disability, family composition, gender identity and/or sexual orientation.
3. The EHS will provide an atmosphere of dignity and respect for all EHS participants.
4. Participants must participate toward increasing levels of self-reliance and self- determination.
EHS staff will work with participants to assist them in achieving their goals.
5. EHS staff often have access to detailed and highly sensitive personal information about participants. Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of EHS participants and their personal information is required.
6. People who are experiencing homelessness may use substances to varying degrees. Everyone is entitled to EHS’s services whether or not they are a substance user. As a result, these standards require that admission, discharge and service restriction policies must not be based on substance use alone, unless otherwise specifically provided for in these guidelines.
7. In order to provide effective EHS programs and services, EHS participants must be offered opportunities to provide input and feedback in service provision and program planning for the program in which they participate.
8. EHS exits to stable housing through supportive services will occur within 10 months. Barriers to engagement will be considered to help assist those to find stable housing with supportive services, if possible.
9. Equal opportunity and standardized procedures will be utilized when determining eligibility, admissions, sanctions and dismissals, and resolving grievances.
10. All program participants are entitled to enjoy the maximum amount of privacy within the constrictions of the EHS environment.
11. EHS are part of a larger network of homeless services and agencies. Collaboration within this network is important to ensure effective and coordinated services.
12. All participants will be briefed and must sign an agreement to uphold the rules and guidelines for the Emergency Housing Site community. Criteria for unacceptable behavior on-site includes but is not limited to; persistent disruptive behavior, theft, use of alcohol, illegal drugs and paraphernalia or violence to yourself or others.
Packet Pg. 94
Attachment: Administrative Guidelines - Emergency Housing Sites (4.1(b)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site) City of Redding Administrative Guidelines Emergency Housing Sites 6 EMERGENCY HOUSING SITE STANDARDS
Minimal requirements for entry are placed on EHS participants. The EHS’s primary role is to provide basic life sustaining services in a manner that fosters a safe and affirming atmosphere for all program participants. Participants of local EHS may come from a variety of backgrounds and each has different needs for services. This could include, but is not limited to, those with pets, large amounts of personal belongings, identifying as part of a multi-member household or self‐identify as LGBTQ, or non-binary.
For the purposes of these Guidelines, an Emergency Housing Site is a site which provides short-term, emergency-temporary housing to not more than 30 individuals using Emergency Sleeping Cabins (as defined in Appendix O of the California Building Code) and are duly approved by the City Council.
Packet Pg. 95
Attachment: Administrative Guidelines - Emergency Housing Sites (4.1(b)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site) City of Redding Administrative Guidelines Emergency Housing Sites 7 OPERATIONS/ADMINISTRATIVE
EHS must develop and post Good Neighbor Policies addressing the EHS premises and the immediate surrounding neighborhood. These policies must clearly show provisions for how the EHS actively discourages and addresses excessive noise or loitering from EHS participants and others who may be near the site. Where applicable, the EHS must demonstrate coordination with other service providers and community partners to address the above issues and their impacts. The Good Neighbor Policies will be submitted to the City for review and approval as part of the permit issuance process.
EHS must provide written notification to all property owners within a 600 foot radius of the proposed site.
Admission
All EHS must have clearly written and consistently implemented referral standards, admission policies, and hours for new participant admission. All EHS must accept new participant admissions (when EHS is open, and beds are available) Monday through Friday for at least a four-hour period daily. When feasible, admissions should be accepted on weekends. Regular hours for participant intake and discharge must be posted at all entry points.
Denial of Admission
Denial of admission to the facility can be based on the following and is at the discretion of the EHS:
• Applicant does not meet the basic eligibility criteria for EHS admission (e.g. gender, age, homeless status, domestic violence victim, etc.). EHS with beds designated by funding sources as having additional restrictions (e.g. VA beds that require advance approval by the VA) may deny entry to those not meeting funding agency requirements. • A restraining order that prohibits admission to the facility. • Documented violent or threatening behavior
• Conduct from prior stay at the EHS which puts the health and safety of staff or participants at risk (e.g. violence, weapons violations, disclosing confidential information of EHS or participants, and egregious damage to property). If an applicant is denied entrance based on a prior stay, the applicant must be informed of the reason, conditions for lifting the restriction and the right to appeal, including name of contact regarding an appeal and information about the appeal process.
• The applicant requires care and supervision to manage the activities of daily living (feeding, toileting, selecting proper attire, grooming, maintaining continence, putting on clothes, bathing, walking and transferring) without the appropriate support available on-site.
Participant Emergency Information
EHS staff must collect emergency contact information and information about health needs upon admission that may impact an emergency response. Such information should be kept in a place accessible to on-duty staff in the event of an emergency.
Packet Pg. 96
Attachment: Administrative Guidelines - Emergency Housing Sites (4.1(b)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site) City of Redding Administrative Guidelines Emergency Housing Sites 8 Intake
Upon admission, participants must be provided with copies of the following documentation:
• Participant rights and responsibilities
• Program rules
• Storage policy, including storage after discharge

Security
Security measures shall be identified to safeguard the participants, operators, staff and the surrounding community. These measures may include security personnel, lighting, common area video cameras, line of sight, and other elements, as necessary, to maintain a safe facility.
Participation in Religious Activities
EHS cannot require participation in religious activities as a condition of receiving emergency housing or services. Religious activities include moments of prayer, the saying of grace before meals, or spiritual studies. While these activities are not prohibited, participation in such activities may not be required.
Participant Responsibilities
Participants are required to participate in the operations and management of their site.
Participant Responsibilities must be provided to each participant in writing and signed by the participant upon admission and posted in the facility in a highly visible location. Participant Responsibilities must include:
• A clear description of all program rules and potential consequences for violations of these rules.
• A “Participant Agreement” policy which outlines expected behavior in order not to interfere with the rights of other participants.
• Expectations regarding efforts being made to exit the EHS into stable housing as quickly as possible.
Packet Pg. 97
Attachment: Administrative Guidelines - Emergency Housing Sites (4.1(b)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site) City of Redding Administrative Guidelines Emergency Housing Sites 9 Participant Rights
Participant Rights must be provided in writing and posted in the facility in high visibility areas. All program requirements must be consistent with these standards. Rights must include:
• Participants have the right to be treated with dignity and respect; • Participants have the right to privacy within the constrictions of the EHS environment; • Participants have the right to be treated with cultural sensitivity; • Participants have the right to self-determination in identifying and setting goals; • Services should be provided to participants only in the context of a professional relationship based on valid, informed consent;
• Participants should be clearly informed, in understandable language, about the purpose of the services being delivered, including participants who are not literate and/or have limitedEnglish proficiency; • Participants have the right to confidentiality and have information about when confidential information will be disclosed, to whom and for what purpose, as well as the right to deny disclosure, unless disclosure is required by law;
• Participants have the right to reasonable access to records concerning their involvement in the program.
Confidentiality
All EHS must have confidentiality policies which, at minimum, are consistent with Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) privacy and security requirements, make certain that files are kept in a secure or locked location, and ensure that verbal communication of confidential information is done in such a way that avoids unintended disclosure.
Non-Discrimination/Reasonable Accommodations
All EHS must have policies on non-discrimination and reasonable accommodation and make reasonable modifications in programs, activities and services when necessary to ensure equal access to individuals with disabilities, unless fundamental alteration in the nature of the program would result from the accommodation.
Transgender Access
All EHS must comply with the HUD Rule on Appropriate Placement for Transgender Persons in Single-Sex Emergency Housing Sites and Other Facilities. See link: Transgender Placements.
Participants’ Mail
If an EHS provides mail service, any mail sent or received cannot be interfered with (e.g. staff opening participants’ mail, not providing mail to the Participant as soon as practical, etc.).
Packet Pg. 98
Attachment: Administrative Guidelines - Emergency Housing Sites (4.1(b)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site) City of Redding Administrative Guidelines Emergency Housing Sites 10 Storage of Belongings
All EHS must have a written policy that is provided upon intake as to what provision is made for securing belongings including what possessions can be held by the program at Participant request such as money, medications, and vital documents.
If an EHS holds funds or possessions on behalf of participants, this service must be voluntary, the program must maintain a log of items in their possession, and the funds or possessions must be returned within operational hours upon the Participant’s request. Each EHS decides how specifically to make their log, with consideration to their liability. It is expected that the log would track only those belongings that participants choose to store with the program and not all possessions brought into the EHS. This does not apply to belongings abandoned by a person who does not return to the EHS; in that situation, please refer to Storage of Belongings After Discharge.
In order to maintain a community free of clutter, each participant is responsible for maintaining a tidy unit. EHS must provide lockable lockers, storage trunks or make other accommodations which allow participantsto securely store their belongings. Reasonable access by the participantsto their belongings must be provided. Waivers of the requirement that storage space be lockable can be requested if the physical layout of the EHS or other barrier does not allow for lockable space.
Medication
EHS may not administer or dispense medication and may not require participants to turn over medication, unless administered by a licensed staff person as part of an on-site supportive program in which an EHS participant is dually enrolled.
If an EHS has provisions for securing prescription medications it must have a written policy that is provided to an occupant upon intake detailing the EHS’s and the occupant’s responsibility to store, secure and use said medication safely. EHS may encourage participants to lock medications in secure storage areas if made available in order to protect medication from theft but may not require participants to turn over medication.
Universal Precautions
Staff must comply with universal precautions, proper sharps disposal and have a written policy in place governing protocols related to universal precautions.
First Aid
Basic first aid supplies must be available on-site and accessible to staff at all times.

Discharge Requirements
All EHS must provide a written copy of the procedure for filing a grievance to the participant when a participant is involuntary discharged. If it is not feasible to provide the procedure at the time of discharge (e.g. the participant is being removed by law enforcement) this requirement may be waived; however, if the participant subsequently returns to the facility, the grievance procedure must be provided.
A participant may be denied future admission as a result of the circumstances of discharge. The participant must be informed of the reason, the conditions for lifting the restriction and the right Packet Pg. 102 Attachment: Administrative Guidelines - Emergency Housing Sites (4.1(b)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site) City of Redding Administrative Guidelines Emergency Housing Sites 14 to appeal, including whom to contact regarding an appeal and information about the appeal process.

The Redding City Council adopted a resolution June 15, 2021 declaring a Shelter Crisis and established the criteria for permitting Emergency Housing Sites (EHS), hereafter referred to as Micro-Shelter Communities (MSCs).
MSCs are operated by a host entity providing temporary accommodations in micro-shelters (non-buildings), not to exceed three hundred (300) days in any twelve-month period, for homeless individuals. For purpose of this definition, a "host entity" shall mean an organization which contracts with recognized community organizations to provide temporary shelter, counseling, and other services, as well as common areas for Residents of the facility. A “microshelter” shall mean a shelter that is not constructed as a Residential living unit per the California Residential Building Code; for example, emergency sleeping cabins (micro-shelters).
The City of Redding authorizes MSCs to provide transitional low-barrier housing opportunities to adults in a safe, private, and secure environment. Through an array of on-site supportive services, community engagement, and direct contributions to the MSCs, Residents are supported to build stability and self-sufficiency while bridging from homelessness to permanent housing.
Each MSC site will be owned or leased by the MSC host entity who is responsible for the day-today operations and property maintenance.
Residents will be coached and positioned to be responsible for much of the management of the MSC, providing the following benefits:
- Expanded staff capacity and flexibility
- Sense of place and ownership
- Increased self-reliance
- Skill building
Examples of MSC management include:
- Security and on-site gate keeping
- Outreach
- Maintenance
- Operations (scheduling, tours, new Resident orientation, Resident exiting process, rules enforcement, etc.)
2. ROLES AND GOVERNANCE:
A. Probationary Resident: A new Resident undergoing a 4-week trial period, to make sure that they can follow the Community Agreement before being fully accepted as a Resident in the MSC.
B. Resident: An individual or couple who currently resides in a micro-shelter at the MSC.
Packet Pg. 115 Attachment: 2022-04-04 Goodwater Crossing Ops Manual with appendices (4.1(b)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site) 6 C. Lead Advocate: A volunteer from the Host Entity Team or community partner organization who takes primary responsibility for accompanying a particular Resident on their journey through the MSC program. In order to avoid potential misunderstanding or conflict of interest in mediation between Residents, Lead Advocates may be assigned to couples when appropriate but are discouraged from serving as Lead Advocate for two Residents of the same MSC at the same time.
D. MSC Resident Council: Shared governance is a core value of Redding Micro-Shelter Communities. This means that the success of the MSC also rests on the Residents. All current Residents of Goodwater Crossing are members of the Resident Council and have voice and vote at Resident Council Meetings.
Weekly MSC Resident Council Meeting. Residents and at least one MSC Host Entity team member can discuss and act upon issues related to the community. Specific roles will be identified and filled in order to maintain a safe and sanitary environment. The following applies to MSC Resident Council meetings:
i. Any decisions made at the MSC Resident Council Meeting must comply with the MSC Operations and Services Manual.
ii. Amendments to the governance and policy sections of the MSC Manual must be reviewed and approved by the MSC Host Entity and City of Redding before taking effect.
D. MSC Host Entity Team (Non-profit Organization, Business or Church). The MSC Host Entity Team is to provide oversight, resident selection, direction and means for the ongoing development of its Residents through the program and for the maintenance of the MSC. This team includes representatives from the MSC Host Entity, community partners, staff or volunteers of the MSC, MSC residents, and perhaps a member of the surrounding neighborhood. This team establishes a long-term friendship with a resident; they assess needs and provide resources, training, and opportunities. This team is responsible to ensure that financial, legal, administrative, safety, and sanitation matters are being properly managed. The Host Entity Team must meet at least monthly, and all Residents must be informed of the meeting schedule and invited to attend.
E. MSC Safety Committee (Ref: #9.C)
F. MSC Case Managers (Ref: #3.A-B)
G. Staff Requirements. MSC must have at least one staff-person on duty (on-site or oncall) at all times. Paid, on-site coordinator or volunteer designee will be on site or available by phone 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
At least one staff-person will be on-site an average of 4-8 hours per day. When no staff person is on-site, the 24-hour hotline will be used to ensure access to immediate response for Residents, volunteers, and members of the neighborhood who might encounter pressing concerns. This hotline number can be found in the Consultation Policy (Ref Appendix A). Calls to the 24-hour hotline number will be directed to the current “on call” individual who will sign up to receive those calls during their on-call Packet Pg. 116 Attachment: 2022-04-04 Goodwater Crossing Ops Manual with appendices (4.1(b)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site) 7 shift. This person must be located within a 15 minute drive from the MSC for prompt response to any issues requiring an on-site response.
While efforts should be made to allow Residents to negotiate daily challenges as part of their program, MSCs must have a supervisor/manager available on call to the program at all times for consultation about challenging resident situations and other urgent matters. MSC has a consultation policy in place that outlines how and when contacts should be made up the chain of command. (See Appendix A for Consultation Policy)
3. MSC SUPPORT SERVICES:
A. Case Management and Support Services.
In order to make maximum use of existing supportive services in the community and participate in efforts to coordinate care across agencies, the MSC will arrange for professional case management services for the residents of their MSC. The agency providing these services must be registered as a Participating Agency according to the NorCal CA 516 Homeless Continuum of Care’s HMIS Policies and Procedures manual (https://www.co.shasta.ca.us/docs/libraries/housing-docs/2020-hmis-policiesprocedures.pdf?sfvrsn=bb0ff389_0). Support services include information and linkages to health resources, case managers, employment opportunities, financial budget education, application assistance for external services and resources, and guidance in accessing local community services.
Case managers will help each resident to develop a life transition and housing plan using low barrier practices, housing first philosophy, harm reduction procedures, trauma-informed care, client-centered and -driven case management, and cultural competency. The plan will help residents identify challenges and provide services for them to choose from in order to gain self-sufficiency and permanent housing. The Case Managers will help the Residents develop a timeline around their goals and identify services and resources that will help accomplish goals. The Host Entity Team will partner with the Residents in conducting regular evaluations and updates of their life transition and housing plan.
The following case management services must be available to program participants receiving these services. To ensure the consistent delivery of case management services, operators must incorporate written case management procedures and forms that include the following:
i. Referral Procedures: Establish referral and follow-up procedures to confirm participants are connected to services to which they are referred.

7. EXITING PROCEDURES
Preparations before departure and follow-up thereafter increases the likelihood of successful transitions from MSCs to more permanent housing options.
Over a period of time, Case Managers, Lead Advocates, and other supportive team members provide services to help Residents achieve their individual goals, which may include recovery, economic and social mobility, and increased quality of life, in order to move to more stable housing.

A. Sanitary facilities. The MSC will provide a common area for residents to prepare and Packet Pg. 132 Attachment: 2022-04-04 Goodwater Crossing Ops Manual with appendices (4.1(b)--Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site) 23 consume meals. All areas used for food storage, preparation, and dining must be kept clean and comply with all relevant health codes.
B. Donated Food. Programs that serve food prepared off site by regular donors must provide donors with a handout that details the requirements for food preparation. All food donors must read and sign the handout to confirm knowledge of the standards and must provide current contact information (Ref: Appendix P). Programs are discouraged from accepting food that has been prepared off-site by intermittent donors.
C. Meal schedule. Residents are responsible for their own meals. If meals are served, a meal schedule must be posted.
D. Dietary modifications. If meals are served or food is provided for residents to use to prepare their own meals, MSC must make dietary modifications and/or provide appropriate food options based on residents’ health, religious, and/or cultural practices.
As feasible, food provided should promote healthy eating.
E. Dining facilities. MSC must provide a table and chairs if food is served.
F. Food allergies. Any snacks and meals provided should be provided with reasonable accommodations made for known allergies, including among children residing in the MSC. Providers should be asking about food allergies at intake; however, it is the parents’ responsibility to inform the program of children’s food allergies.
11. STORAGE OF BELONGINGS.
Storage of belongings is limited to Residents’ personal micro-shelter and individual locking storage unit. Locks and/or keys should be provided to Residents as needed with the understanding that the Host Entity Team also holds keys and combinations. Personal belongings that cannot be organized in the micro-shelter or locking storage unit must be stored offsite. Each Resident is responsible to organize and pay for off-site storage of personal belongings. Under no circumstances will Residents be permitted to store belongings outside, under tarps, or anywhere in the MSC besides inside their own micro-shelter cabin or lockable storage unit.
The Host Entity Team of Goodwater Crossing is not able to safely store Resident belongings, including items such as weapons, medication, and vital documents. If a Resident’s recovery plan requires storage or oversight of medication or other valuables, the case manager will work with the Resident to determine how this storage or oversight will be managed using resources outside of the Host Entity Team and its paid or volunteer staff.
In order to maintain a community free of clutter, each resident is responsible for maintaining a tidy unit. The MSC will provide lockable lockers which allow residents to securely store their belongings outside of their inhabited micro-shelters. Residents will have keys to these lockers and will have access to them 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Residents will be encouraged to store any items not needed for daily use in the lockers to avoid fire hazards inside the microshelter units.

Illegal sharing of controlled substances with other Residents could be grounds for involuntary discharge.
Residents are encouraged to consider whether use of legal narcotics will support or deter their progress and, in consultation with their Case Manager and primary care provider, determine the best decision in regard to the use of legal narcotics.
D. Search of Possessions.
As per the signed Resident agreement, shelters and storage can be inspected when there is reason to believe that the person has in his or her possession something which may jeopardize the safety of other residents or staff, including a weapon or illegal material such as illegal drugs, or something which is interfering with the peaceful enjoyment of the facility of other residents such as food that is attracting vermin. If the person does not consent to the search, and a valid reason exists to search, the person may be given the choice of being discharged or being searched.
Any other items suspected to have been used for drug related purposes will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis by the MSC Host Entity Team.

Report to Redding City Council June 16, 2022
Re: 4.2(a)--Consulting and Professional Services Agreement with the Economic Development Corporation of Page 2
Background/Analysis
The EDC has historically played a key role in business retention expansion and the recruitment of new business and industry, including air service, in the Redding area. Although a significant part of that recruitment has revolved around Stillwater Business Park, the EDC has worked to facilitate the development of businesses in the region, wherever possible, in an effort to stimulate the local economy.
Under an agreement with the EDC, the City helps fund portions of the EDC’s comprehensive economic development activities. The plan is created to improve primary industry employment in Redding through the attraction of new manufacturers, the expansion and retention of existing industry, and fostering start-ups in technology and other sectors. The EDC will work closely with REU to attract and retain customers who will assist in increasing the overall system load factor for the Electric Utility. The EDC leverages public and private sector funding to accomplish an affordable, aggressive and dynamic program. A full Scope of Services under the terms of this contract is attached. Overall, the EDC will:
▪ Continue implementation of a comprehensive business attraction program that focuses on building an online network of professionals that leverages relationships with companies to market Redding and the Shasta County region.
▪ Establish new retail recruitment program with the City of Redding and NaviRetail ®, including working to thoughtfully bring new retailers to Redding with research and engaging with property owners and brokers; and identifying new hotel opportunities and locations.
▪ Assist the City to market, show, and provide information about Stillwater Business Park.
The EDC would continue to represent the City at conferences and trade shows when requested.
▪ Maintain a comprehensive and wide-ranging business expansion and retention program, helping to coordinate the variety of services available to businesses, including global trade opportunities.
▪ Build the infrastructure for an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in the region to create successful manufacturing and technology startups leading to job creation. ▪ Provide access to vital business resources including: capital resources, workforce development, regulatory assistance, business and tax incentives, and technology. ▪ Assist the City with efforts to add airline destinations through participation in community meetings, strategic and planning conference calls, and airline headquarter meetings. ▪ Assist the City’s Redding Municipal Airport with its marketing and promotional efforts related to airline passenger services by working with the City’s Communication Team and the Convention and Visitors Bureau at the Redding Chamber of Commerce. ▪ Work with staff to increase opportunities to improve Airport amenities and appeal. ▪ Work with City staff to draft a new economic development program with specific incentives and programs to help attract, retain, and grow our local economy as part of the Economic Development Element of the General Plan update.
The City and the EDC have had a long beneficial relationship. Economic development is critical to Redding and the region, and the EDC has played an important part in attracting and retaining important job-producing businesses. Continuing this agreement will allow the EDC to continue to provide needed services in the coming year.

SHELTER CRISIS ACTION PLAN
California Government Code Section 8698, et seq., allows the governing body of a city to declare a Shelter Crisis when a significant number of persons are without the ability to obtain shelter, resulting in a threat to their health and safety.
The 2020 Shasta County Point‐in‐Time Report provided that four hundred fifty‐four (454) individuals within the City of Redding “(“City”), including veterans, women, children, individuals with disabilities, senior citizens, and other vulnerable groups, are experiencing unsheltered homelessness within the City. Many of those unable to obtain shelter reside on the streets, in alleys and doorways, along the Sacramento River and its tributaries, and in unlawful encampments throughout the City. These individuals lack adequate sanitary facilities and are at risk from theft, crime, and extreme weather conditions, these conditions threaten the health and safety of the unsheltered population and likewise threaten the public health and safety of the public at large, contribute to a draw on public resources, and threaten the environmental health of the City’s waterways.
In June 2021, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring that the City of Redding has a shelter crisis. A shelter crisis proclaimsthat a significant number of people are without the ability to obtain shelter. Following this declaration, the Council approved two Ordinances (2637 and 2638) thereby amending Redding Municipal Code (RMC) Title 18 (Zoning), Chapter 18.17, subsection 18.17.020 (Temporary Uses Exempt from Permits) and RMC Title 16, Chapter 16.02, subsection 16.02.010 and Chapter 16.03, subsection 16.03.010 relating to establishing the criteria for permitting emergency housing sites and the operation of the same during a declared Shelter Crisis.
With the declaration of a shelter crisis and the City enacting the provisions of RMC Section
18.17.020 and portions of Title 16, these actions allow organizations within the City to request permits issued by the City Council to set up and operate an Emergency Housing Site as defined in the RMC and in Appendix O of the California Building Code. The Emergency Housing Sites will provide low barrier, sanitary shelter for up to 10 months, for those experiencing homelessness.
Wrap‐around supportive services will be provided to the occupants of the Emergency Housing Sites with the goal of moving those individuals into permanent housing.
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 8698 and RMC Chapter 18.17.020, subsection M., 14, the City Manager shall, not later than July 1st of the year following the declaration of any shelter crisis, develop a plan to address the shelter crisis which shall include the development of homeless shelters and permanent supportive housing as well as onsite supportive services.
The implementation of Emergency Housing Sites within the City of Redding provides a resource to address the crisis of the unsheltered by creating housing facilities offering short‐term shelter bridging the gap to transitional or permanent housing. Considering Emergency Housing Sites Packet Pg. 178 Attachment: ^Shelter Crisis Action Plan (4.2(b)--Shelter Crisis Action Plan) will play an important role in addressing unsheltered needs within our community, staff developed the following Action Plan:

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution declaring a shelter crisis pursuant to the California Shelter Crisis Law (Government Code Section 8698 et seq.).
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact due to the declaration of a Shelter Crisis, however, there will be staff time and other nominal expenses associated with the processing of permits for Emergency Housing Sites, should they be requested
Alternative Action
The City Council may decide to not adopt the resolution and thereby not declare a shelter crisis.
Background/Analysis
California Government Code Section 8698, et seq., allows the governing body of a city to declare a Shelter Crisis when a significant number of persons are without the ability to obtain shelter, resulting in a threat to their health and safety. In addition, California Government Code Section 8698 provides that upon a declaration of a shelter crisis the provisions of any state or local regulatory statute, regulation or resolution prescribing standards of housing, health, or safety, as applied to public facilities, shall be suspended to the extent that strict compliance would in any way prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of the shelter crisis.
The crisis of unsheltered homelessness in Redding is one that impacts an entire community, both those experiencing homelessness and the broader community of housed residents, businesses, and neighborhoods.

Based on these factors, a crisis exists.
With the declaration of a shelter crisis, the City may enact the provisions of Redding Municipal Code (RMC) Section 18.17.020, which, when enacted along with portions of Title 16, will allow organizations within the City to request permits issued by the City Council to set up and operate an Emergency Housing Site as defined in the RMC and in Appendix O of the California Building Code.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 43rd Amendment to the City Budget Resolution No. 2021-078 appropriating funds in the amount of $2,500,000 related to increased power supply costs in Fiscal Year 2021-22.
Fiscal Impact
While costs are expected to exceed the budget for power supply, Redding Electric Utility’s (REU) total Operations and Materials (O&M) expenditures are expected to be within budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22. In addition, REU’s Financial Management Policy and Whitepaper (Council Policy 1414) guidelines for reserves include an equivalent to at least 20 days’ cash for unfavorable hydroelectric conditions (approximately $6.5 million). As of March 31, 2022, REU had 136 days of cash on hand as defined in Council Policy 1414 (policy minimum is 75 days).
Therefore, REU has adequate reserves should total O&M expenditures exceed the plan.
Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to adopt the resolution and provide further direction to staff.
Background/Analysis
Under the terms of REU’s hydroelectric power purchase contract with the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), REU pays for the rights to approximately nine percent of Central Valley Project hydropower generation. This generation depends heavily on annual rainfall in the Northern California area, and REU must purchase additional power or natural gas fuel to replace lost hydropower deliveries during drought years. On September 7, 2021, REU shared with the City Council that a persistent drought could cost the utility up to $4 million annually. Typically, REU would have additional revenues or savings in other utility areas to compensate for a budget overage, and the matter would be resolved administratively.

Report to Redding City Council June 14, 2022
Re: 4.5(a)--Resolution-appropriating funds for power supply costs in FY 2022 Page 2 In January 2022, REU’s preliminary Fiscal Year 2021-22 impact analysis determined that a Council budget resolution would not be necessary as administrative budget adjustments to recognize increased retail and wholesale sales would offset the cost of replacement power.
However, the persistent drought coupled with a spike in power and natural gas prices since February 2022 due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has considerably impacted the power markets, which has resulted in a substantial increase in the amount and cost of replacement power. REU performed an additional analysis in May 2022, which showed power supply costs are anticipated to exceed budget, net of additional revenues, by the end of June 2022.
With substantial uncertainty surrounding the future price of power and natural gas fuel coupled with a historically low hydro delivery forecast, staff recommends increasing the Power Supply budget for the Fiscal Year 2021-22 in the amount of $2,500,000. Should power costs continue to exceed the budget in a material manner, staff may request additional appropriations during the fiscal year ending 2023.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following related to the purchase of an Asphalt Paver:
(1) Authorize the purchase using Sourcewell contract pricing, with a net delivered cost of $202,140.15, including all applicable taxes and fees, for maintenance of the City of Redding (City) streets;
(2) Authorize the City Manager to approve future pricing adjustments, terms, and policy changes as needed due to inflation and unstable economic conditions up to a total of $30,000; and
(3) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 45th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2021-078, appropriating $202,140 for the Asphalt Paver purchase.
Fiscal Impact
Sufficient funds are available in the Local Streets and Road Fund for the proposed purchase totaling $202,140.15. The current asphalt paver was purchased in 2001 and was scheduled for replacement in Fiscal Year 2024-25. However, it currently requires significant repairs of up to $100,000, and some parts are no longer available.
Alternative Action
The City Council may choose not to authorize the Sourcewell purchase of an asphalt paver for the maintenance of City streets or choose not to adopt a budget resolution appropriating funds.
Without the purchase, the Streets Division will continue to operate with the existing paver that needs significant repairs. However, when breakdowns occur, replacement parts become less available, and the division must absorb the cost of lost asphalt and crew time, thereby limiting asphalt maintenance projects for the community.

Report to Redding City Council June 15, 2022
Re: 4.11(b)--Authorize the Purchase of a Paver for the Street Division Page 2 Background/Analysis
The City’s Streets Division maintains nearly 500 centerline miles of roadway. In addition to contracted capital work, the Streets Division’s maintenance activities include annual resurfacing of over 2,000 tons of asphalt on various streets depending on asphalt conditions and the frequency of vehicles. This annual asphalt replacement program greatly benefits the City by providing an efficient way to repair localized failures that would not provide the economies of scale associated with a larger capital repair project. The crews also efficiently manage their maintenance time by focusing on small areas in which they spend significant time on patching operations during the winter months.
An asphalt paver is used for the replacement of existing asphalt roadways and can provide limited new construction for minor projects and parking lots. It is a critical part of roadway operations and infrastructure repair. The current paver was purchased in 2001 and is in need of significant repairs that total nearly $100,000. Without a paver, the City maintenance crews would no longer be able to repair and resurface existing streets and would accelerate an already declining Pavement Condition Index. This would significantly impact operations as well as the ability to aid other departments regarding dig-outs and other asphalt-related issues.
The proposed equipment is manufactured by LeeBoy and is distributed by Pape Machinery, Inc., under a Sourcewell competitive bid contract. LeeBoy has local vendors that can service and repair all of its products. Sourcewell develops national competitive solicitations that meet or exceed local standards and offers its members the benefits derived from cooperative purchasing.
Using the Sourcewell cooperative contract to purchase a paver saves significant staff time needed to prepare bid specifications and solicit individual quotations from vendors. The City also receives a significant price discount due to economies of scale realized through the volume of purchases on a multi-agency cooperative contract.

Re: 4.11(e)--COVID-19 Economic Stimulus Package Projects Update Page 2 with the program to ensure an expedited delivery schedule. The Council also directed staff to provide regular status updates on the program and ratify all City Manager awards.
As directed by the City Manager, staff has endeavored to break up most of the work into smaller contracts, with values lower than $500,000, with the idea that local contractors and vendors will compete better due to lack of mobilization costs and other local advantages. However, the City has limited control because these are Public Works contracts and must be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder in accordance with State of California law.
To date, staff has awarded 15 projects totaling over $3.3 million, including the recently awarded LED Lighting Retrofit at Various Locations Project, which is presented to the Council for ratification, projects for lighting improvements at sport fields, the Library, Corporation Yard, City Hall, the Police Department, the Civic Center Auditorium, and projects to install solar power generation systems and replace roofs at various fire stations, as well as several purchase orders and on-call contract services for lighting, plumbing, mechanical work, and equipment.
Eight projects have been completed, and nine of the 15 projects have been awarded to contractors with local offices.
The design consultant and staff are finalizing bid packages for the Aquatic Center Pumping System Upgrades Project and for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning projects at City Hall, the Police Department, and the Corporation Yard. The attached Project Status Report provides more detailed information on project status and costs. Staff will continue to return to the Council quarterly to provide progress updates, if acceptable to the Council.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Budget and Financial Management – “Achieve balanced and stable 10-year Financial Plans for all funds.”
• 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.”

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager to award any public works contract, purchase order, or agreements, of any value, associated with the $9.5 million GHG funding approved as part of the Local Economic Stimulus Package.
Fiscal Impact
The City Council has previously approved the allocation of $9.5 million in Cap and Trade auction proceeds to be used for projects that reap an energy savings benefit to the City of Redding. There is no further fiscal impact to granting authority to the City Manager to execute the agreements, purchase orders, and contracts associated with these projects. There may, however, be an added benefit of seeing the money infused more rapidly into the local economy.
Alternative Action
The City Council could choose to not authorize the City Manager to execute the agreements, purchase orders, or contracts associated with the Cap and Trade distribution funds to expedite delivery of the work. This would lengthen the process to use the authorized funding.
Background/Analysis
On Tuesday, April 21, 2020, the City Council unanimously approved the Economic Response Plan. Included in the plan is the allocation of $9.5 million in Cap and Trade auction proceeds to be used for projects associated with the Local Economic Stimulus Package that equate to a savings in energy costs for the City of Redding. By authorizing the City Manager to negotiate, execute, and direct the agreements, purchase orders and contracts, staff can proceed with rapidly assigning the work and awarding bids. The benefit to this is being able to see the Cap and Trade action proceeds go to work as soon as possible in the community, and thereby providing the local MEETING DATE: May 5, 2020

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept the City of Redding Economic Response Plan and provide direction to staff as follows:
(1) Approve deferral of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) hotels and motels. (2) Approve modification of existing Community Assistance for Redding Electric Services (CARES) guidelines.
(3) Approve modification of amortization policy for City of Redding utility bills. (4) Approve the refund of all City of Redding utility deposits. (5) Rescind approval of allocation of Cap and Trade funds for the Wildfire Mitigation and Building Electrification programs; approve Cap and Trade auction proceeds to be distributed to electric customers; and adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 32nd Amendment to City of Redding Budget Resolution No. 2019-050 to appropriate a total of $9 million in Greenhouse Gas allotment for utility rebates. (6) Approve adoption of a utility grant program for small businesses utilizing $600,000 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding.
(7) Economic Stimulus Package
a. Approve additional use of $5 million of Greenhouse Gas allotment and adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 33rd Amendment to City of Redding Budget Resolution No. 2019-050 allocating money for projects designated as providing energy savings for the general fund.
b. Provide direction on projects involving utilities funding and borrowing.
Fiscal Impact
The amount of impact of this proposal depends on the City Council’s (Council) direction for staff. The programs implemented thus far are expected to impact the General Fund due to approximately $500,000 in missed revenue projections. Programs such as modifying the Amortization Program guidelines and deferring Transient Occupancy Tax will reduce reserves in the short term by providing cash flow relief to businesses. Using restricted revenue funds to modify existing CARES program guidelines, and also refunding City of Redding utility deposits MEETING DATE: April 21, 2020

and creating a utility grant program for small business will not impact unrestricted reserves. If the additional utility credit is approved, $9 million in Cap and Trade auction proceeds would need to be allocated, some of which would be reallocated from previously funded projects, to bring the total allocation to $11 million for utility rebates. To complete projects listed in the Local Economic Stimulus Package, $5 million in Cap and Trade auction proceeds would need to be allocated in addition to the $4 million already allocated. The Council could also, through approval of this report, provide direction and identify an amount of money to reserve to pay for any potential borrowing for projects that would be approved through the Local Economic Stimulus Package.
Alternative Action
The Council has multiple options with this report. If it chooses to not accept the report in its entirety, all currently implemented programs would cease and no additional community assistance programming would take place at this time. The Council could choose to accept the report, and therefore all of the currently implemented projects as well, and provide direction to staff regarding which new projects to move forward.
Background/Analysis
The Covid-19 global pandemic has been a health catastrophe causing significant disruption in individual, community and societal norms while devastating the economy. The City of Redding, as the local governmental entity, needs to take bold action in line with the State and Federal Government to not only protect the health and welfare of the individual but also of the economy.
The City of Redding City Council will be presented with a number of proposed initiatives and projects to help individuals and businesses through this difficult time. The attached City of Redding Economic Response Plan is a report detailing programming currently implemented, as well as programming that could be implemented to assist the community. These items are varied in cost and source of funding.

2 Executive Summary
The Covid-19 global pandemic is a health catastrophe causing significant disruption in individual, community and societal norms. While the direct human suffering owed to the disease itself is horrific, the damage to the economy due to necessary health precautions is equally devastating. The City of Redding (City), as the local governmental entity, needs to take bold action in line with the State and Federal Government to not only protect the health and welfare of the individual but also that of the local economy. The City of Redding City Council (Council) has directed that a plan be developed to assist the community in economic recovery to coincide with the cessation of the pandemic. This report provides detailed information on the various programs that have been developed to help foster the economy through this economic disaster.
Some programs have already been implemented while others still need final approval from the City Council. In brief, the programs are listed below.

Maintain City Services
City services provided to the community are critical in nature and are unable to cease in functionality. A multitude of projects, already in the works, have to continue processing in spite of the pandemic that has affected the nation. In order to keep projects moving forward, and to Packet Pg. 219 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 04-21-20 (4.11(e)--COVID-19 Economic Stimulus Package Projects Update) City of Redding Economic Response Plan – April 2020
3 continue to serve the community in this critical capacity, City departments implemented immediate changes to comply with State and Federal directives. Personnel able to work from home were provided resources to do so. Meetings of large groups of staff and/or the public were eliminated, and preparations were made to provide access to public meetings without further endangering the community. As a result of the rapid response of staff, City services continue to function for the bulk of the community. In spite of the closure of City Hall and the diminished personnel in the Avtech and Corp Yard buildings, and the Transfer Station, critical City services such as police, fire, electric, solid waste removal, water and wastewater maintenance, and parks services still operate to the benefit of the community. Each position, whether working from home or in the office, is a critical component of maintaining the support of these services. Department directors monitor work product and load to ensure the City continues to function efficiently. The City is providing increased availability of cleaning supplies and sanitizing materials to offices and meeting spaces to maintain worker health.
To provide additional relief to residents and business owners, several programming decisions were implemented. Taking into consideration the varied economic status of Redding residents and businesses, the following steps were taken to provide some help financially.
Suspend Return to Owner fees
Effective March 23, 2020, Haven Humane Society suspended the charging of return to owner fees for animals impounded for running at large. A small portion of the fee is typically returned to the City to recoup costs of providing animal regulation services for the community. The total cost is expected to be less than $200 for the City. This allows Haven to reduce the number of animals left in the shelter while it is being operated at minimum capacity, and it is a benefit for community members who are unable to make the payment at this time.
Suspend Late Fees and Interest on City Payments
The City has initiated the suspension of late fees and penalties for payments and all General Accounts Receivable for items like hangar rents and imposed fines. This is made possible through individual review of accounts as payments are submitted and the reporting is analyzed. Both systems are housed in the legacy system so adjustments are applied manually to individual accounts. The $35 returned check and returned ACH payment fees have been suspended as well. Returned check and ACH fees are charged on an individual basis, and returned items are reported from the City’s banking system daily. When applicable, the returned item amount with the additional fee are typically charged back to established accounts. The fee will be eliminated from these charge backs.
The current plan is to suspend penalties and interest for receivables due in March and April 2020, which would include payments due in April and May. Based on last year’s activities, it is estimated that the loss of revenue to the general fund from the suspensions will be $55,000. The suspension of the returned check and ACH fees is estimated to be $5,000 for the same time period. If extended an additional month through the end of the fiscal year (June 30, 2020), the savings to the community equates to an estimated $60,000 which will result in an equal amount of lost revenue for the City.
Packet Pg. 220 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 04-21-20 (4.11(e)--COVID-19 Economic Stimulus Package Projects Update) City of Redding Economic Response Plan – April 2020
4 Suspend Utility Shut-Off
Effective March 18, 2020, the City of Redding Utilities Customer Service suspended the practice of utility shut-offs due to non-payment. Each month, under normal circumstances, approximately 220 utility accounts are disconnected after failure to pay for utility service received over the previous 60 days. Typically, 75 percent of these customers pay their past due amount and have their utilities reconnected within two weeks. With the Covid-19 pandemic and the anticipated increase in the number of utility customers having difficulty keeping up with all of their monthly expenses, it was decided that loss of utility service should not contribute to the stress and anxiety already experienced. Once the pandemic has passed, the Customer Services division will work with customers using various tools to bring the accounts into good standing. It is known that this effort will result in a temporary increase in accounts receivable and decreased cash flow for all utilities – resulting in an equal amount of temporary financial relief to residents of the City of Redding. This measure may result in an increase in bad debt expense, however, additional proposed measures, listed later in this report, could assist in reducing bad debt expense.
Furthermore, bad debt would be sent to a collection agency with a recovery rate of approximately 30 percent.
Suspend Utility Late Fees
Like shut-offs, late fees for utility payments have been suspended. Late fees, historically, amount to $1.7 million per year. While late fee collections are not always linear, it is a close approximation that the suspension will save customers in excess of $425,000 due to the high potential that there will be an increase in late payments. Late fees are an administrative penalty, and therefore, are deposited in the General Fund. If it is assumed that there will be no attempt to collect the past-due late fees, the General Fund will miss revenue projections in this category by at least $425,000.
Distribution of $50 to REU Account Holders
The City Council approved the distribution of excess reserves to be credited to every Redding Electric Utility customer in December 2019 in the amount of $50 per account. The funding source for the distribution is the Greenhouse Gas Allowance Auction Proceeds (also referred to as GHG or Cap and Trade), in an amount equal to about $2.2 million, and will be accomplished via a bill credit.
Pending the City Council’s approval
The following programming ideas were developed to provide additional options to provide financial relief to residents and businesses. These plan elements vary in how they target a diverse set of community members. Reaching as much of the community as possible is crucial for Redding to solidify its economic foundation. These proposals require the City Council’s approval to proceed. Some of the following items can be implemented immediately, while others will need to be further developed and brought back to the Council for further direction.
Packet Pg. 221 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 04-21-20 (4.11(e)--COVID-19 Economic Stimulus Package Projects Update) City of Redding Economic Response Plan – April 2020
5 Deferral of Transient Occupancy Tax
Defer payment of TOT from hotel and motel business until August 1, 2020 (payment due August 19, 2020). This deferral would be interest free and full payback would be made by November 1, 2020. The TOT deferral program could provide for much need cash flow for the Hotel and Motel industry by allowing an estimated $250,000 to remain with the business for operating expense. This program would be limited to Hotels/Motels with Business Licenses of 65-40-1 or 65-50-1.
Modify Existing CARES Program Guidelines
Community Assistance for Redding Electric Services (CARES) provides up to $300 of emergency assistance for the electric portion of bills for City of Redding utility customers. The intent of the CARES program is to help customers who have suffered a temporary financial hardship and to bring their account to a current status. Customers are eligible for CARES assistance once every 12 months. This program is funded out of the Public Benefits charges included in each ratepayers’ bill. Staff recommends applying a $300 CARES credit to all residential customers enrolled in the Residential Energy Discount Program (REU’s low income program). This would provide $1.2 million of immediate utility cost relief to our lowest-income customers with an additional $600,000 of additional relief available to those who may apply due to becoming eligible due to impacts from covid-19. These funds would be replenished with the new budget year beginning on July 1, 2020. Should the Council choose to do this, staff recommends providing the Electric Utility Director authority to repeat this process, should the Stay at Home order continue through the summer, and also suspend the once-per-year limitation for applicants. This would have no impact on the Electric Utility’s financial metrics as defined in Council Policy 1414, as Public Benefit Programs are restricted.
Modify Utilities Amortization Program Guidelines
The City of Redding Utilities Customer Service provides amortization for residential customer bills that are past due. This allows customers to “catch-up” on their bill for up to 12 months by amortizing the past-due balance. Staff recommends temporarily expanding this to commercial customers and temporarily extending the amortization for a period of up to 24 months, which would essentially provide a zero percent loan to customers that are past-due and having trouble paying their bill. In addition, this would allow commercial customers who receive Small Business Administration Loans to focus on other essential costs. This would have a temporary impact on City of Redding Utilities, as cash would not be received for up to two years. The risk to the utilities would be any eventual non-performance of these loans; non-performance would mean not paying the full amortization over the 24-month period. Therefore, staff recommends establishing an “eligibility criteria” that the customer must have not been disconnected for nonpayment of utilities in the previous year to be automatically approved for the amortization.
Customers not eligible for automatic amortization may still request it and approval will be granted on a case by case basis. Should the Council choose to do this, Staff recommends providing the Electric Utility Director administrative authority to modify program elements as necessary. As this could affect water, wastewater, and solid waste utilities, the Public Works Packet Pg. 222 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 04-21-20 (4.11(e)--COVID-19 Economic Stimulus Package Projects Update) City of Redding Economic Response Plan – April 2020
6 Director would collaborate in these decisions. This plan element will potentially provide millions of dollars in available cash flow for residents and businesses.
Refund City of Redding Utilities Deposits
Staff recommends returning all customer deposits held by Utilities Customer Services. This would return approximately $3.4 million to customers, including approximately $600,000 to commercial customers. The City holds utility deposits on customer accounts that present a higher credit risk to the utilities. By returning deposits, the City is returning monies to customers most in need. This would have no immediate impact on the Electric Utility’s financial metrics as defined in Council Policy 1414 as customer deposits are not included in unrestricted reserves for the purpose of calculating days of cash on hand. The risk to the utilities would be future bad debt accruals of non-payment of utilities by customers who have demonstrated difficulty paying bills.
However, this bad debt would be sent to a collection agency with a recovery rate of approximately 30 percent. Should the Council choose to do this, Staff recommends providing the Electric Utility Director authority to modify administrative processes for billing future utility deposits as defined in City Council Policy 1404. The deposit requirement will be reinstated at an unknown time in the future.
Additional Cap and Trade Distribution
Staff recommends a $200 credit on Electric utility bills to all customers out of Cap and Trade auction proceeds, which is similar to the $50 refund recently approved by Council. This would provide an additional $9 million in rebates to electric utility customers, bringing the total rebate amount, including the Council’s action on March 26, 2020, to approximately $11 million. To fund this program, the Council would need to allocate the balance of current year Cap and Trade revenues and cancel two Council-approved programs that have yet to launch: Wildfire Mitigation and Building Electrification. Wildfire Mitigation has yet to start due to the California Air Resources Board not providing a quantification methodology for reduced greenhouse gasses achieved through fuels reduction, thus the Cap and Trade funds are not available for this purpose. Building Electrification has yet to start due to staffing limitations. This would have no impact on the Electric Utility’s financial metrics as defined in Council Policy 1414 as Cap and Trade revenues are restricted.
Utility Grant Program for Small Businesses
As an entitlement city for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) the City receives an annual allocation of Community Development Block Grant funding which is used for public service and public improvements. Due to the Federal CARES act the City received an additional allocation of $447,450. This funding, combined with unused funding from past projects, for a total of $600,000 provides the City an opportunity to provide funding toward eligible small business utility payments for those in the most need or are unable to receive Federal assistance or grants. If approved, staff will present the program and the amount available as part of the required public hearing to approve the use of the funding.

7 Local Economic Stimulus Package
The Local Economic Stimulus Package is composed of multi-departmental projects intended to result in a combination of benefits to the City. In its infancy, this was a mass project designed to create an energy savings with each completed project. The City, however, has multiple deferred maintenance projects that must be completed to maintain the infrastructure stability of its assets.
Staff developed the following plan in a response to a need to merge the energy savings needs of the City with its deferred maintenance needs and infuse much needed capital into the local economy.
The projects in this package were specifically chosen as critical needs either in the realm of energy savings, which qualifies the project to be paid for through GHG auction proceeds, or for its contribution to eliminating the deferred maintenance needs of the City. A combination of GHG funding, utility reserves, municipal bond, and energy cost savings would be used to fund the package with little or no net budgetary impact to the General Fund. The total value of the economic stimulus package is estimated at approximately $20 million. Approximately $9.5 million of GHG money could be allocated for the completion of the projects that realize an energy savings for the City. The energy savings over time for the General Fund could be used to fund the deferred maintenance needs.
Several of the anticipated projects such as the work at various fire stations and lighting upgrades would be started immediately and put out to bid as soon as possible. Other projects, such as the replacement of the heating and air conditioning system at the Civic Auditorium will need to be analyzed further. The intent is to move quickly to infuse available GHG funds and provide economic benefit for the community.
The calculated energy savings from the energy savings projects could be used to secure bond funding to accelerate up to another $10 million in local projects including improvements to the Redding Aquatic Center, park facilities, required building maintenance, and other amenities.
Staff will return to the City Council with a full project list and borrowing options should the City Council provide direction to do so.
Completion of projects totaling up to $20 million is quite a large endeavor. However, the plan would be to bid multiple smaller projects to provide the best opportunity for local contractors to participate in the process, and thereby providing the local economy a direct opportunity to see quick and significant economic benefit in jobs and business activity. According to multipliers provided by the Shasta County Economic Development Corporation, the City of Redding would see a direct benefit equal to 328 jobs and $30 million of economic impact.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve 2022 Water Transfer Agreement (Agreement) with Centerville Community Services District for sale of up to 500 acre-feet of water at a cost of $500 per acre-foot; and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement; and find that the approval of this agreement is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“Common Sense Exemption”) because it can be seen with certainty that approval of the agreement will not have a significant effect on the environment.
Fiscal Impact
Water will be sold at the City of Redding’s (City) cost plus an administrative fee of $28 per acrefoot (AF). Selling the water will reduce some administrative fees associated with foregone power and thus result in a minor cost savings.
Alternative Action
The City Council may choose to decline approval of this water transfer agreement and/or provide alternative direction to staff.
Background
For the past three winters, the State of California (State) has experienced dry hydrologic conditions. The Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau) has reduced water allocations for all water contractors including the City’s surface water supply contracts. In addition, the Governor has declared a drought emergency in all 58 counties and the State Water Resources Control Board recently required all urban water suppliers to implement Level Two of its water shortage contingency plan. Many water suppliers throughout the Sacramento Valley and the State are working on water transfers or sales to meet urban, environmental, and agricultural needs.

Report to Redding City Council June 14, 2022
Re: 4.11(f)--2022 Water Transfer Agreement - Centerville CSD Page 2 In March, the Bureau announced that allocations for all Central Valley Project (CVP) Municipal and Industrial (M&I) water contractors would be reduced to the public health and safety amounts per the CVP M&I Water Shortage Policy. The City has been contacted by its neighbor, Centerville Community Services District, to help meet water needs. Approximately 10 percent of Centerville’s customers are City residents. Centerville’s CVP allocation is zero AF. It has enacted Stage Four (40 percent conservation) of its water shortage contingency plan and must purchase water.
Centerville is requesting to purchase up to 500 AF of water. Per the proposed delivery schedule, water transfers will not occur during the peak summer months (June, July and August) but will occur later in the water year when the City has passed its peak demand period. Given its own water restrictions, the City would not be able to transfer water during the summer but expects that it will be able to transfer a relatively small amount later in the water year. For context, the requested amount to be transferred is about two-percent of the City’s expected water use this year.
Staff has determined that the approval of this agreement is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“Common Sense Exemption”). The water transfers will not occur during the peak summer months and would occur in the fall when the City has passed its peak demand period. It can be seen with certainty that approval of this agreement will not have a significant effect on the environment.
The agreement has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.
Council Priorities/City Manager Goals

Item Estimated
Project Development Costs $343,000
Construction Contract + Contingency $2,398,980
Contract Administration, Inspection, Testing $421,577
Total Project Costs $3,163,557
Project cost components are estimates, and some shifting of the project development, construction management, and construction contingency funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget.
Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to award the bid for the Reconstruction of the Terminal Building Access Roads Project – Phase 2, and also not award the Authorization of Service and provide staff with alternate direction. Without this project, the terminal building access road will require continued repair and maintenance, and without the Authorization of Service, the project will not move forward, and FAA grant funds will go unused.
Background/Analysis
Attached is a tabulation of bids received and opened on November 30, 2021, for the Reconstruction of the Terminal Building Access Roads Project – Phase 2. The low bid in the amount of $1,584,520 was received from Tullis, Inc., of Redding, California. The engineer's estimate was $2,237,650. Total project development costs for this project are estimated to be $343,000. Project development costs include engineering, surveying, right-of-way, environmental, consultant services, and permit fees. There is $6,750,000 budgeted for the total project. Staff intends to utilize Mead & Hunt, Inc. for construction management services due to workload management. Per the Consulting and Professional Services Agreement executed on July 23, 2021, and attached to this report, a new Authorization of Service ($358,577) is needed for each phase of the project, which will provide guidance on compensation and scope.
This project includes the reconstruction of the remaining portions of Woodrum Circle that were not completed as part of Phase 1, along with segments of Municipal Boulevard (approximately 1250 feet long by 46 feet wide) and Knighton Road (approximately 300 feet long by 72 feet wide). The reconstruction will consist of new asphalt, lime-treated subgrade, sidewalk, and curb and gutter replacement. In addition, some storm drain system replacements and new pavement markings will be applied, as well as street lights, fixtures, and signage installed.
Staff has determined that the project qualifies as Categorically Exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, per Sections 15301 and 15302.
Class 1 exemptions include minor alteration of existing public facilities, and Class 2 exemptions include the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures or facilities. The project will result in no expansion of use, the facilities will be replaced on the same site, and the facilities will have substantially the same purpose and capacity. The project has been reviewed for sensitive resources and will not have a significant effect on biological or cultural resources such as threatened or endangered species or their habitats, sensitive vegetation communities, tribal lands, or tribal cultural resources. The project has no potential to have a significant effect on the Packet Pg. 241
