CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution accepting the 2022-2027 City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, as approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund from approving the 2022-2027 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (Plan) at this time.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to adopt the Plan as proposed and provide alternative direction to staff. This will render the City out of compliance with Federal and State of California requirements and will impact the City’s eligibility for federal disaster mitigation funds.

Background
Attached for consideration by the Council is the draft Plan. The Plan’s purpose is to fulfill the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, which calls for all communities to prepare mitigation plans. The plan includes resources and information to assist City residents, publicand private-sector organizations, and others interested in participating in planning for hazards.

The plan provides a list of aspirational mitigation activities that, if accomplished, may assist the City in reducing risk and preventing loss from future hazard events.

The City’s initial Local Hazard Mitigation Plan was adopted in 2005 and was updated in 2012 and 2015. The Plan is required to be maintained and updated to ensure the City is prepared to handle emergencies which may occur that are beyond local capability. Adoption of the plan is also required in order for the City to be eligible for State and Federal assistance and associated MEETING DATE: January 17, 2023

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO REDDING PLANNING COMMISSION
Recommendation
Conduct a public hearing, and upon conclusion, find the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) consistent with the City’s General Plan.

Background
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), commonly known as the 2000 Stafford Act, was approved by Congress on October 10, 2000. The Stafford Act was amended by the President on October 30, 2000, moving the emphasis from post-disaster mitigation to pre-disaster mitigation planning and projects. The Federal Government has required the State of California to comply with DMA 2000 in order to receive any mitigation monies and post disaster relief funding. In turn, the State of California has passed along this requirement to any city, county or district who would like to receive mitigation dollars any post disaster reimbursements from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the State of California.

The City of Redding (City) Local Hazard Mitigation Plan’s purpose is to fulfill the requirements of the DMA 2000, which calls for all communities to prepare mitigation plans. The plan includes resources and information to assist City residents, public- and private-sector organizations, and others interested in participating in planning for hazards. The plan provides a list of aspirational mitigation activities that, if accomplished, may assist the City in reducing risk and preventing loss from future hazard events.

Hazard mitigation is any action that reduces the effects of future disasters. It has been demonstrated that hazard mitigation is most effective when based on an inclusive, comprehensive, long-term plan that is developed before a disaster actually occurs. Hazard mitigation along with preparedness, response, and recovery are the four phases of emergency management. Hazard mitigation is the only phase of emergency management specifically dedicated to breaking the cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.

Packet Pg. 188 Packet Pg. 97 Attachment: Planning Commission Staff Report of October 21, 2021 (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) Report to Redding Planning Commission October 22, 2021
Re: 4(b)2--Public Hearing Re: Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Page 2

The DMA 2000, Section 322a-d, requires that local governments, as a condition of receiving federal disaster mitigation funds, have a mitigation plan that describes the process for identifying hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities; identifies and prioritizes mitigation actions; encourages the development of local mitigation; and provides technical support for those efforts. This mitigation plan serves to meet those requirements.

The City’s initial Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) was adopted in 2005 and was updated in 2012 and 2015. This plan is required to be maintained and updated to ensure the City is prepared to handle emergencies which may occur that are beyond our local capability, and to be eligible for state and federal assistance and associated funding in the event such an emergency meets the requirements for an incident under the Stafford Act, as amended, April 2013.

Issue
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY. The plan is consistent with the following General Plan Policies:
x Goal HS1 - Minimize the loss of life, injury, and property damage due to seismic and geologic hazards.
x Goal HS2 - Protect the lives and property of residents and visitors from flood hazards. x Goal HS3 - Minimize the potential for catastrophic impacts as a result of regional dam failures.
x Goal HS4 - Minimize the potential for loss of life, injury, and property damage resulting from urban and wildland fires.
x Goal HS7 - Minimize the potential from, and damage resulting from, aircraft accidents. x Goal HS8 - Maintain and enhance the City’s emergency-response capabilities and preparedness.
x Goal HS9 - Reduce the risk of personal injury, property damage, and environmental degradation resulting from the use, transport, disposal, and release/discharge of hazardous materials.
x Goal HS10 - Ensure the continued functioning of essential critical, sensitive, and highoccupancy facilities following a disaster.

Public Comment
Staff has not received any public comments at the time of the writing of this staff report.

Planning Commission Authority
Per Government Code 65103(b), the Planning Commission has the authority to implement the General Plan through actions including, but not limited to, the administration of specific plans and zoning and subdivision ordinances.

5 1.0 INTRODUCTION
People and property in Redding are at risk from a variety of hazards that have the potential for causing widespread loss of lives and damage to property, infrastructure, and the environment. Hazards are part of the world around us. Natural occurrences such as wildland fires, floods, winter storms, and earthquakes are inevitable and are natural phenomena which we cannot control. The occurrence of a natural hazard can result in damages and hardships for an entire community for many years following the event.

Disasters result when the man-made environment, such as buildings and infrastructure, take place in areas subject to forces of nature. The frequency of disasters is rising at a substantial rate due to the fact that more and more people have chosen to live and work in locations that put them at risk.

Subject to availability of adequate funding and staffing, the purpose of hazard mitigation is to implement and sustain actions that reduce vulnerability and risk from hazards or reduce the severity of the effects of hazards on people and property. Mitigation actions are both short-term and long-term activities which reduce the cause or occurrence of hazards; reduce exposure to hazards; or reduce effects of hazards through various means, including preparedness, response, and recovery measures. Effective mitigation actions will also reduce the adverse impact and cost of future disasters.

The City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan includes resources and information to assist in planning for hazards. The plan provides a list of actions that may assist the City of Redding in reducing risk and preventing loss from future hazard events. The actions address hazards, as well as specific activities for, Wildland Fire, Flood, Hazardous Material, Severe Winter Weather, Earthquakes, Utility Disruption, Aviation Disaster, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives (CBRNE), Dam Overflow or Failure, and Volcanic issues.

8 3.0 OFFICIAL RECORD OF ADOPTION
This section provides a general and comprehensive view of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. This includes a review of the federal requirements, City adoption, and supporting documentation.

3.1 Disaster Mitigation Act 2000 Requirements
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), commonly known as the 2000 Stafford Act amendments, was approved by Congress on October 10, 2000. On October 30, 2000, the President signed the bill into law, creating Public Law 106-390. DMA 2000 amended the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act by repealing the previous Mitigation Planning Section 409 and replacing it with a new Mitigation Planning Section 322. The DMA 2000 is the latest legislation to improve the hazard mitigation planning process. The new legislation reinforces the importance of mitigation planning and emphasizes planning for disasters before they occur. As such, the DMA 2000 establishes a pre-disaster hazard mitigation program and new requirements for the national post-disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP).

The DMA 2000 specifically addresses mitigation planning at the state and local levels. It identifies new requirements that allow HMGP funds to be used for planning activities and increases the amount of HMGP funds available to states that have developed a comprehensive, enhanced mitigation plan prior to a disaster. States and communities must have an approved mitigation plan in place prior to receiving postdisaster HMGP funds. Local and tribal mitigation plans must demonstrate that their proposed mitigation measures are based on a sound planning process that accounts for the risk to, and the capabilities of, the individual communities.

State governments have certain responsibilities for implementing the program. DMA 2000 is intended to facilitate cooperation between state and local authorities, prompting them to work together. It encourages and rewards local and state pre-disaster planning and promotes sustainability as a strategy for disaster resistance. This enhanced planning network will better enable local and state governments to articulate accurate needs for mitigation, resulting in faster allocation of funding and more effective risk-reduction projects.

Table 3-1
DMA 2000 Requirements – Prerequisites
Adoption by the Local Governing Body

REQUIREMENT
§201.6(C)(5)
The local hazard mitigation plan shall include documentation that the plan has been formally adopted by the governing body of the jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan (e.g., City Council, County Commissioner, and Tribal Council).

EXPLANATION
Adoption by the local governing body demonstrates the jurisdiction's commitment to fulfilling the mitigation goals and objectives outlined in the plan. Adoption legitimizes the plan and authorizes responsible agencies to execute their responsibilities.

11 4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 Introduction
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), commonly known as the 2000 Stafford Act amendments, was approved by Congress on October 10, 2000. On October 30, 2000, the President signed the bill into law, creating Public Law 106-390, amending the Stafford Act with regard to hazard mitigation planning primarily by moving from post-disaster mitigation to pre-disaster mitigation planning and projects. The DMA 2000 emphasizes greater interaction between the state and federal governments, which have a continuing interest in streamlining the mitigation planning, implementation, and project-funding process.

4.2 Purpose and Authority of Plan
The City of Redding (City) Hazard Mitigation Plan's purpose is to fulfill the requirements of the DMA 2000, which calls for all communities to prepare mitigation plans. The plan includes resources and information to assist City residents, public- and private-sector organizations, and others interested in participating in planning for hazards. The plan provides a list of mitigation activities that may assist the City in reducing risk and preventing loss from future hazard events.

Hazard mitigation is any action that reduces the effects of future disasters. It has been demonstrated that hazard mitigation is most effective when based on an inclusive, comprehensive, long-term plan that is developed before a disaster actually occurs. Hazard mitigation, along with preparedness, response, and recovery are the four phases of emergency management. Hazard mitigation is the only phase of emergency management specifically dedicated to breaking the cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.

4.3 Plan Description
The City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan consists of the following primary sections:

Community
This section provides details of our community to provide sufficient background for the hazard profiles and risk assessments that are presented in subsequent chapters. This description includes regional setting, history, and government and includes information regarding the climate, population, demographics, and economy.

Packet Pg. 111 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
12 Vulnerability Assessment
Through this process, the project team identified and gathered corresponding data on all potential hazards that present a danger to the City and the adjacent surrounding area. The information gathered includes historical data on natural hazard events that have occurred in and near the City and what impacts these events had on residents and their property.

Risk Assessment
This section utilizes the information gathered through the vulnerability assessment process to determine what assets in the community will be affected by the hazard event. The inventory of assets includes people, housing units, critical facilities, special facilities, infrastructure, hazardous materials facilities, and commercial facilities. This data was compiled by assessing the potential impacts from each hazard using past events. The information in this section provides the City with information that outlines the full range of hazards the City may face and the potential social impacts, damages, and economic losses.

Mitigation Strategy
This section identifies mitigation actions/measures and implementation strategies for the City. Additionally, this section provides a comprehensive strategy for addressing mitigation priorities. The mitigation measures include preventive actions, property-protection techniques, structural projects, natural resourceprotection strategies, emergency services, and public education and awareness activities.

13 5.0 PLANNING PROCESS
This section describes the process in which the plan was developed. This includes the federal requirement followed by the City’s actions applied to this process.

5.1 DMA 2000 Requirements
The table below summarizes the DMA 2000 requirements for documentation of the planning process.

Table 5-1
DMA 2000 Requirements – Planning Process
and Documentation Planning Process

REQUIREMENT
§201.6(b) and
§201.6(c)(1)
Requires that there be an open public involvement process in the formation of the plan. This includes opportunities for the public to comment on the plan at all stages of its formation and the involvement of any neighboring communities, interested agencies, or private and nonprofit organizations. This should also include a review of any existing plans or studies and incorporation of these if appropriate. Documentation of the planning process, including how the plan was prepared, who was involved in the process, and how the public was involved is essential.

EXPLANATION
A description of the planning process should include how the plan was prepared, who was involved in the planning process, and the timeframe for preparing the plan.

The plan should document how the planning team was formed and the number and outcomes of the meetings the planning team held. Ideally, the local mitigation planning team is composed of local, state, and federal agency representatives, as well as community representatives, local business leaders, and educators.

In addition to the core team preparing the plan, it is also important to indicate how the public (residents, businesses, and other interested parties) participated, including what means (e.g., Web pages, storefronts, toll-free phone lines) were made available to those who could not attend public forums to voice concerns or provide input during the planning process.

ELEMENT
A. Does the plan provide a description of how the plan was prepared? B. Does the plan indicate how the planning team was formed (including who was involved)?
C. Does the plan indicate how the public was involved in the process? D. Does the planning process describe what means were made available to those who could not attend public meetings to provide input?

14 5.2 Plan Development
The initial phase of the planning process was to identify a team leader and to establish a project team comprised of City agencies. Planning Manager Lily Toy served as the project team leader and as the primary contact person for the City. The project team was formed as an advisory group and as a task group to review and update the plan. Meeting dates were set on a bi-weekly basis. As done in the past, the project team solicited participation for the team. The project team invited interested parties, such as the local American Red Cross, the Shasta County Office of Emergency Services, and various City agencies not represented on the project team. The members of the City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Project Team (HMPT) are listed in Table 5-2 below:

The update to the plan was initiated in September 2020. The project team participated in working independently reviewing and making revisions for specific portions of the Plan. Interested parties and/or stakeholders were involved in reviewing and updating the goals, objectives and actions. The project team reviewed the Shasta County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan, the City’s General Plan, and the City’s Flood Inundation/Evacuation Plan to incorporate information and ensure consistency with other existing plans. The project team held bi-weekly meetings from September 2020 through November 2020.

The plan was circulated for public review in April 2021. During the review period, the stakeholders were allowed opportunities to review the goals, objectives and actions and maps of the analyzed hazard scenarios developed by the project team. Following the review period, the project team re-assessed and re-identified characteristics and potential consequences of natural and non-natural hazards affecting the City. With the understanding of the risks posed by the identified hazards, the team determined priorities and assessed various methods to avoid or minimize any undesired effects. As a result, mitigation strategy and goals were updated. The team then went on to revised the implementation and monitoring plan in which the plan will be implemented through various hazard mitigation projects, changes in day-to-day City operations, and through continued hazard mitigation development.

15 5.3 Community Participation
Public input during the development of the mitigation plan update assisted in shaping plan goals and mitigations. The HMPT invited various stakeholders to the regularly scheduled meetings and held a separate stakeholder’s workshop to help identify priorities in developing goals for reducing risk and preventing loss from natural and non-natural hazards in the City. Press releases were issued to invite the public to the public workshop. When the draft was completed, a 20-day public comment period was initiated. A public notice was placed in the local newspaper to invite the public to review and comment on the draft plan. Copies of the plan were made available at the local library and at City Hall. Furthermore, a draft of the plan was posted on the City's website.

5.4 Local Hazard Mitigation Planning Benefits
During the process of developing the plan, benefits were realized. The following is a list of the benefits that were generated during development of the plan.

1. Allowed for an in-depth analysis of current Hazardous Materials Facilities in the City and the potential effects of a release of Hazardous Material.

2. Provided the City with a thumbprint view of where those facilities are located and what chemical hazards they have on-site.

3. Provided for the sharing of information and team building between City departments.

4. Gave the City a beginning points for discussions on transportation hazards and how to effectively deal with one should it occur. "Plan for the worst, hope for the best."

5. Heightened our awareness level as to the nature of disasters in our community.

6. Provided an evaluation tool on our current resources and how to best utilize them in an emergency.

7. Allowed the City to practice the plan for scenario responses and mitigation measures on some of the disasters.

8. Provided more up-to-date informational maps on specific hazards and facility locations.

9. Provided better methodology for quickly calculating property loss, number of affected structures, and population.

10. Enhanced the City of Redding Emergency Preparedness Program.

16 6.0 COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION
This section is to provide a glimpse into the community of Redding. This includes general information concerning regional setting, history, government, climate, population, economy, land use, and development patterns.

6.1 Regional Setting
The City of Redding is located in Shasta County in northern California, nestled between the Cascades and Trinity Alps. It is approximately 100 miles south of the Oregon border and 160 miles north of Sacramento.

Redding's current population is approximately 92,590 which makes it the largest city in Shasta County and the largest city in California north of Sacramento. Redding also serves as the county seat of Shasta County.

Redding is situated at the far northern end of the Sacramento Valley, at the point where the valley meets the foothills of the Cascade mountain range. Elevations range from 500 to 5,000 feet above mean sea level. The City’s mean elevation is 557 feet above mean sea level. Redding is surrounded by mountains to the west, north, and east. The most distinctive geographical feature in the area is the Sacramento River, which meanders nine miles through the City in a general north-south direction. Several creeks also run through the City from the west and east. These creeks function as tributaries to the Sacramento River.

Some have carved gullies and ravines with depths of up to 200 feet, mainly in the western part of the City.

This stretch of river is one of the finest trout-fishing waters in the western United States.

Redding is bisected by Interstate 5, a major north-south freeway that runs from Canada to Mexico.

Interstate 5 connects Redding with major metropolitan areas such as Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, and Los Angeles. State Routes 299, 273, and 44 also pass through Redding, connecting the City with the Pacific Coast and Nevada. The main north-south line of the Union Pacific Railroad runs through the community as well. Redding's location also places it near many outdoor attractions and recreational areas, such as Shasta Lake, Lassen Volcanic National Park, and the Shasta/Trinity/Whiskeytown National Recreation Area.

Redding was founded in 1872 and incorporated in 1887 at the northern terminus of the California and Oregon Railroad. The City's early growth was stimulated by the railroad and by the move of the county seat from Shasta in 1884. Mining played a major role in the economic life of Redding as the century progressed. In 1938, the beginning of construction of Shasta Dam provided another stimulus to growth in Redding. The construction boom after World War II boosted the lumber industry, which became the mainstay of Redding’s economy. In more recent years, retail trade, construction, and tourism have become more significant activities as the lumber industry has declined. Redding has become a major regional center for shopping, health care, education, and government. As a result of this, the Redding area has become one of the faster-growing areas in California.

17 6.2 History
Nine bands of northern Wintu people have resided within the area of the Norther River Valley and surrounding mountains from time immemorial, living with the abundant landscape. The area was a hub and intersection of trad and commerce. The awarding of the Rancho Bueno Verna Mexican Land Grant in 1844 to European-American (Mexican) settler Pierson B. Reading initiated the first European-American settlement of the area. With the encroachment of Mexican and Anglo-Amercians, the Indigenous Peoples of the region suffered greatly from violent displacement, epidemics of foreign diseases as well as State and Federal policies of extermination and removal. Many of the Wintu resided in the El-Pom (linguistically referred to as ?elpom) area where Redding would later be founded. They were among several tribes that were promised sanctuary and reservation land on the east side of the river and the Treaty of Cottonwood Creek of 1851, which was never honored nor ratified by the State of Federal government. Wintu descendants still reside in the area today.

By 1862, he had mapped out a town near the mouth of Clear Creek and the Sacramento River. Redding was founded in 1872; the year the "California and Oregon Railroad" reached the site of the City, which was to be its northern terminus for the next 12 years. The coming of the railroad saw the rise of Redding, along with the decline of Shasta, the "Queen City" of northern California and, in the 1870's, the largest settlement in that part of the state. Shasta did not have a railroad, so business activity swung to Redding. With the railroad came a man named Benjamin Redding, who was a land agent for the Central Pacific Railroad.

With the development of the town, the legislature wanted to name the town Reading after its founder. The railroad was not happy with this choice and would not recognize the name. It wanted the town named after its agent, Benjamin Redding. Finally, in 1880, everyone gave in and the town was given the railroad's choice of names. At that time, there were 9,492 residents in Redding. The city’s growth was stimulated by the railroad and by the move of the county seat to Redding from Shasta in 1884. Redding was incorporated on October 4, 1887, the same year that the Southern Pacific Railroad came to Redding. Mining played a major role in the economic life of Redding around the turn of the century, but it declined as the twentieth century progressed. In 1938, the beginning of construction of Shasta Dam provided another stimulus to growth in Redding. The construction boom after World War II boosted the limber industry, which became the mainstay of Redding’s economy. In the late 1990s, retail trade, construction, and tourism became more significant activities as the lumber industry declined. Redding is a major center in Shasta County for shopping, health care, education, and government.

Since its incorporation in 1887, the area within the city limits of Redding has grown from 3.65 square miles to 60.03 square miles. The original City town site as plated in 1872 established the town limits at North (now Eureka Way), South, East, and West Streets. Redding’s early growth was spurred by copper and gold strikes during the late 1800s, which led to an initial boom period between 1890 and 1910. By 1890, Redding's boundary had grown to the Sacramento River on the north, Sequoia Street on the east, Grant Street on the south, and Almond Street on the west. In the 1940s, initial development north of the river and residential development moving toward the south occurred. In the 1950s, initial development of the area along North Market Street occurred. With the opening of the Interstate 5 freeway, development spread to the north. Interstate 5 continued to spur development along its corridor during the 1970s.

On January 1, 1970, the City was comprised of 15.2 square miles. Two significant annexations occurred in 1976 that dramatically altered the size and configuration of Redding. In June 1976, the Cascade Community Services District was annexed, adding 3,000 acres to the City south of town. Later, in December, the former Enterprise Public Utility District was annexed, adding another 3,200 acres east of town. These two annexations increased Redding's size by nearly 10 square miles. The largest annexation since 1976 was the Texas Springs/Oregon Gulch annexation, which added 1,692 acres on the west side Packet Pg. 117 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
18 to the City. With a few smaller annexations and one de-annexation occurring since, the City is now comprised of 60.88 square miles.

19 6.3 Government
The City of Redding is a general law city, formed under state legislative statutes and governed by a body of laws in the State Constitution. The Redding City Council consists of five council members elected "at large" for staggered four-year terms. Council members must be residents of the City and registered voters both at the time nomination papers are taken out and upon assuming office.

Redding is one of the many California cities operating under the Council-Manager form of government.

Under this system, the Council establishes the policies under which the City operates and appoints a trained and experienced City Manager to administer the affairs of the City. His responsibilities include hiring of City staff, preparation of the annual budget, administration and coordination of the City's operations, general supervision over all property under the control of the City, and enforcement of City ordinances and applicable state laws.

The City Manager appoints a staff to assist him in carrying out his duties. City departments include Administrative Services, City Attorney's office, City Clerk's office, City Treasurer's office, Community Services, Development Services, Electric, Fire, Human Resources, Municipal Services, Support Services, and Police.

Like the City Manager, the City Attorney is appointed by the City Council. Both the City Clerk and the City Treasurer are elected by the public.

Redding is a full-service city with approximately 1,000 full- and part-time employees. The City's services include:

Airport
General Administrative Services
Highways and Streets
Housing
Planning and Zoning
Public Safety (Police and Fire)
Public Improvements
Recreation and Parks
Solid Waste Collection and Disposal
Tourist Bureau
Utilities (Electric, Water, and Wastewater)
A list of the City's critical facilities is provided in Appendix 1 of this document.

6.4 Climate
Climatologists describe the climate in the Redding area as Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. In January, the average temperatures range from 36 degrees to 55 degrees. In April, the average daily high is 70 degrees, with an average daily low of 46 degrees. During July, the temperatures range from 65 to 99 degrees, with some days exceeding 100. Annual rainfall averages 33 inches, most of which falls between November and March.

22 6.6 Economy
The outdoor lifestyle and air quality of the Redding area have attracted many highly skilled people from larger urban areas, creating a choice labor force. In June 2019, the Redding Area ranked as the 29th most dynamic metropolitan area in the country. The study titled “Most Dynamic Metropolitans” looked at 379 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (commonly referred to as MSAs). The study was published by a collaboration between the Walton Family Foundation and Heartland Forward (WFF). The Redding MSA includes the Cities surrounding the City of Redding from Lake Shasta down to the southern county border. The study puts the Redding MSA in the top 8 percent of all communities evaluated. The study looks at factors that include: innovation, economic opportunity for residents, local economic development strategies, job growth, average annual earnings growth, and area gross domestic product (GDP). For the Redding MSA specifically, we finished near the top in the wage growth category and we were ranked 16 in GDP growth.

Our startup community and the jobs created by entrepreneurs was also a key factor in our ranking.

Redding also offers an extremely successful Down Payment Assistance Program to aid first-time homebuyers. Affordable commercial and residential real estate, low-cost skilled labor, and a low crime rate also contribute to Redding's rapid growth.

One of the key components of Shasta County's business retention plan is to acknowledge and cater to small businesses; particularly those that help create a diverse economy with industrial linkages between local manufacturers. The Redding City Council has developed a number of local incentives for industrial development and businesses that create new jobs.

The Shasta Metro Enterprise Zone consists of 51 square miles of commercial and industrial sectors of the cities of Redding, Anderson, and Shasta Lake, as well as adjacent industrial areas of Shasta County.

Special incentives offered by the Enterprise Zone include sales and tax credit, hiring assistance, business expense deduction, net operating loss carryover, and net interest deductions for lenders.

Occupations in Redding include:

Agriculture
Construction
Finance
Government
Manufacturing
Retail Trade
Services
Transportation, Commercial, Utilities
Wholesale Trade

6.7 Land Uses
Redding adopted its first General Plan in 1958. The Plan Area covered 9,366 acres, or 14.6 square miles, consisting of a land use diagram and a streets and highways plan, and included five land use classifications: Single Family, High Density Residential/Professional, Retail Commercial, Planned Industrial, and Public. By contrast, the General Plan adopted in 1970 covered approximately 73 square miles. The current General Plan, adopted in 2000, covers approximately 110 square miles and includes 23 land use designations. The residential land uses encompass approximately 37,000 acres. The nonresidential land uses encompass approximately 35,000 acres. The non-residential land uses include Packet Pg. 122 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
23 office, commercial, heavy commercial, industrial, public facilities/institutional, airport service, greenway, park, and recreation.

6.8 Development Patterns
While in part the result of topography, flood-prone land and physical barriers (such as the Sacramento River, Interstate 5, and the Union Pacific Railroad), the relatively low-density, discontinuous nature of Redding's development pattern does not come without its costs. These include increased costs of providing public services; loss of community identity, or "sense of place"; decreased air quality due to a near total reliance on the automobile; and a neglect of older, established residential neighborhoods and commercial areas in preference for development in new areas.

Few cities have the luxury of sole control over all land uses contained within them, and Redding is no exception. Redding has grown geographically through the annexation of lands which were formerly outside its jurisdictional control. In fact, some of the larger annexations (e.g., Enterprise and Cascade areas) added not only significant territory to the City, but also increased its population base and level of development as well. In part, this helps to explain why there seems to be no organizing principle underlying Redding's urban structure. It also serves to explain the lack of consistency in infrastructure improvements, landscape, and building design, as well as lack of public-street access to individual properties found in various parts of the City.

Redding can be divided into five primary sectors, each of which is shaped by its unique characteristics, histories, and issues. These areas are: (1) Central and West Redding, (2) East Redding (Enterprise), (3) Dana Drive and Northeast Redding, (4) North Redding, and (5) South Redding.

Central and West Redding
Central Redding is the location of the City's original commercial and office core. Local government facilities and most of its older residential districts are also located here. Spreading outward from the original town site astride the railroad in a grid pattern typical of the time, Redding grew north and east to the edge of the bluff that borders the Sacramento River, south along the highway and railroad spine, and west into the hills and gullies. Extension of the early street pattern across the ravines created unusable lots and "paper" streets that remain undeveloped today.

Some of the City's most unique and historic residential areas are located west of Central Redding in the Magnolia neighborhood and its adjacent neighborhoods. Farther west, beyond Benton Airpark and the now-closed Benton Sanitary Landfill, lays a large, residential district, consisting exclusively of single-family subdivisions. Development of some of these areas began in the early 1950s and new developments continue to be constructed today.

West Redding is not only home to some of the City's more popular neighborhoods, but is also home to Mercy Medical Center and numerous doctors' office complexes and professional offices. With the construction of Interstate 5, most new commercial investment was directed to locations other than Central Redding. The expansion of county government offices, Shasta Regional Medical Center, and Mercy Medical Center also promoted office construction along Court, Oregon, and West Streets, displacing older residential uses.

Downtown’s recent redevelopment was ignited by the significant update to the Downtown Specific Plan in 2018 and two major grants totaling $40 million dollars through the State’s Affordable Housing and Packet Pg. 123 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
24 Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program. These mixed-use projects include a total of 161 residential units which will fill the significant need for available housing opportunities in Downtown.

Downtown Redding remains an important area, even though it was bypassed by the construction of Interstate 5, encouraging most new retail development to locate east of the river. All other major traffic arteries converge downtown, which contributes to its viability. Recent efforts, including the Downtown Specific Plan Update, redevelopment projects to improve the appearance and pedestrian orientation of Downtown streets, the partial re-opening of the streets through Downtown demonstrate the community's commitment to maintaining and enhancing the unique character of the heart of the community. The development of the Turtle Bay Museum and Arboretum and the Turtle Bay Hotel and Restaurant by the Sacramento River and the Civic Center will serve to emphasize the importance of the City's core area.

East Redding (Enterprise)
Development in the Enterprise area occurred almost entirely in the postwar years. Early subdivisions were located along Old Highway 44 (now known as Cypress Avenue), Churn Creek Road, and Hartnell Avenue.

Subsequent development has taken place both to the north up to the new State Route 44 and to the south into the Churn Creek Bottom area. The street pattern in some older residential areas is poor, with long, dead-end streets and offset intersections. A lack of adequate subdivision regulations in the early days of development permitted the creation of large, deep lots surrounded by smaller lots and hundreds of landlocked parcels that can be reached only by private roads or by access drives across other properties.

This lot pattern makes further development very inefficient and difficult and necessitates providing new, costly streets and infrastructure.

Like the residential areas, commercial development in the Enterprise area originally occurred in a haphazard manner along Old Highway 44, Bechelli Lane, and Hartnell Avenue and at freeway interchanges. Access to many stores in these locations is poor, and the nature of this strip-type development—with each establishment having its own parking lot and driveway—precludes parking once and visiting several businesses. The construction of Interstate 5 had a noticeable impact on commercial growth at the north end of this area along Hilltop Drive and other easily accessible locations. Service stations, motels, restaurants, and other uses that seek readily visible sites and easy freeway access can be found in this area. This area continues to develop with commercial uses, which can now be found along Churn Creek Road as well. Two overpasses across State Route 44 connect this area to the newly expanding Dana Drive regional commercial hub and to an expanding residential area to the northeast.

Dana Drive and Northeast Redding
Following the construction of Interstate 5, a noticeable pattern of commercial development, together with additional suburban residential growth, has occurred north of State Route 44 along Dana Drive. Additional growth has also occurred along the northern extension of Churn Creek Road and eastward along Old Alturas Road. Commercial development largely commenced with the Mt. Shasta Mall, which is located at the northeast corner of Hilltop Drive and Dana Drive. Subsequent regional commercial development has since spread eastward to Victor Avenue. In conjunction with commercial activities, residential development flourished to the north on Churn Creek Road and to the east on Old Alturas Road. The Dana Drive Benefit District and the Churn Creek Road Overcrossing Assessment District were formed in order to provide infrastructure for this newly established regional commercial hub.

All the available vacant commercial land in this area has been predominately built out. In 2000, the City saw the expansion of the Mt. Shasta Mall and again in 2020. The Mall expansion in 2000 spurred large regional commercial-store developers to develop within the Dana Drive area. Vehicle traffic in this area Packet Pg. 124 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
25 has increased significantly, which has necessitated the upgrade and improvement of the streets and intersections, which included the State Route 44 west bound on ramp at Hilltop Drive and Dana Drive.

North Redding
Like Enterprise, the North Redding area, extending from Keswick Dam to Shasta College, includes a scattering of residential and commercial development. Along North Market Street, formerly Highway 99, Redding's "Miracle Mile" is lined with a variety of motel, restaurant, retail, and auto-sales establishments.

Adjoining lowlands to the west have been developed with residential subdivisions and affordable housing units. Lake Redding-Caldwell Park extends along the north bank of the river on each side of the railroad trestle. This major recreation area has picnicking, playground, swimming, and other facilities.

Lake Boulevard is the main artery of the Buckeye area, a major portion of which was annexed to the City in 1969. Strip commercial development is strung along Lake Boulevard, and there is scattered residential development in the area. Landlocked parcels are common, with heavy dependence on private roads for access. Mobile homes are a major residential type here, both in mobile home parks and on individual lots.

The pattern of small ownership and prevalence of mobile homes in some areas may tend to discourage subdivision activity, particularly on the northern fringe of the Planning Area along Oasis Road.

South Redding
Much of the development of South Redding came after World War II, when subdivision activity expanded into the lower elevations and along the Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District Canal (ACID). Scattered developments also sprang up in the Live Oak-Bonnyview (Cascade) area to the south and along ridge tops in the southwestern part of the Planning Area. Also, to the south, the old principal traffic artery—Old Highway 99 (now known as State Route 273)—became a commercial strip lined with an assortment of motels, truck stops, and service stations; industrial and distribution establishments; and local retail services. As a commercial gateway to the City, this area has largely become obsolete in design and function.

Several recent residential developments have occurred in the area, including the Rivercrest Estates Subdivision, as well as new developments south of Girvan Road. The latter developments have led to a reduction in the pastoral setting that was until recently prevalent in the area.

26 7.0 RISK ASSESSMENT
The section identifies the hazards that might affect the City of Redding, profiles the major hazards, assesses the risk of such hazards, describes the City's vulnerability, and estimates potential losses from the hazards.

7.1 DMA 2000 Requirements
The overall DMA 2000 requirements for the risk assessment are shown in Table 7-1. The requirements mandate that only natural disasters are addressed, however, the City has included the most significant human-caused hazards in this plan.

Table 7-1
Risk Assessment – Overall

REQUIREMENT
§201.6(c)(2)
Local risk assessment must provide sufficient information to enable the jurisdiction to identify and prioritize appropriate mitigation actions to reduce losses from identified hazards. This includes detailed descriptions of all the hazards that could affect the jurisdiction, along with an analysis of the jurisdiction’s vulnerability to those hazards. Specific information about numbers and types of structures, potential dollar losses, and an overall description of land use trends in the jurisdiction must be included in this analysis.

EXPLANATION The local risk assessment should identify what hazards are likely to affect the area. The plan should describe the sources used to identify hazards, noting any data limitations, and provide an explanation for eliminating any hazards from consideration. The process for identifying hazards could involve one or more of the following:
• Reviewing reports, plans, flood ordinances, and land use regulations among others.
• Talking to experts from federal, state, and local agencies and universities.
• Searching the Internet and newspapers.
• Interviewing long-time residents.

7.2 Identify and Screen Hazards
The City of Redding HMPT identified several hazards that are addressed in the plan. These hazards include natural and human-caused hazards that might affect persons and property in the City. The hazards were ranked based on the initial analysis. Twelve hazards were found to be either a significant hazard or less significant hazard and are ranked for hazard mitigation planning. These hazards were identified through public input, researching past disasters, and risk assessments included in the City Emergency Operations and General Plan.

Risk Assessment - Hazard Identification and Screening for City of Redding Hazard Risk Why or Why not?
High Risk: Higher magnitude, frequency, vulnerability, and probability. Past occurrences have resulted in extensive loss of life and/ or property. The resulting secondary impact was also considered during risk assessment.

Wildfire High Past events as experienced by the City. The City encompasses and is adjacent to many natural open-space areas.

Flood High Past events as experienced by the City. Portions of the City are located within the 100-year floodplain.

Severe Weather High Past events as experienced by the City. The City on an average experiences 12 heat waves annually.

Moderate Risk: Medium probability of occurrence. Medium severity resulting in moderate loss of life and/ or property.

Earthquake Moderate Proximity to San Andreas fault places the City at some risk, but past history reveals that the magnitude will be low.

Hazardous Material Moderate With a major rail line and interstate highways within the City, probability of a rail or highway disaster is present.

CBRNE Moderate Probability is present, but low
Pandemic Moderate Some probability, but low
Aviation Moderate Some probability, but low.

Low Risk: Low probability of occurrence. Past occurrences or probability of future occurrences are low or nil resulting in low/ no loss of life and/ or property.

Volcano Low Although the City is located west of Lassen Volcanic National Park and south of Mt.

Shasta, historic events do not place the City in high probability of a disaster.

MCI (Mass Casualty Incident Low Some probability, but low Dam Failure/ Dam Overflow Low Probability is present due to nearby Shasta Dam and Whiskeytown Dam located upstream from the City. The City's General Plan confirms that the City is within the Dams’ inundation zones, should there be an uncontrolled release from Shasta and Whiskeytown Dams.

7.3 Loss Estimation
FEMA requires that an estimation of loss be conducted for the identified hazards. Loss estimation was conducted on the identified significant hazards (refer to Table 7-3). FEMA requires the "Vulnerability Analysis" to include the number of potential structures impacted by these hazards and the total potential costs. These estimates were determined by utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) overlay analysis software and tools. Existing GIS data layers, such as parcels, were overlaid with theoretical hazard boundary extents. Then, using GIS overlay analysis software; items such as the number and value of structures affected by the hazard were calculated and reported.

29 7.4 Wildland Fire

7.4.1 Nature
Hills and mountains surround the westerly portion of the City of Redding, which is covered mostly with grasses, brush, Manzanita, oak trees, and gray pines. The climate in this area is generally referred to as “Mediterranean,” with rainfall concentrated during the cool winter months. The rains usually cease sometime in April and resume in November.

Summer drought causes vegetation to become extremely dry, and a regional weather phenomenon, the northerly winds, can aggravate an already very hazardous fire situation. The hillside areas of the western portion of the City have, therefore, been classified as a very high fire hazard severity zone. With extreme dryness, relative humidity often 10 percent or less, high temperatures over 100 degrees, and 20 to 40 mph winds, a wildfire can become uncontrolled, spreading through vegetative fuels and exposing and possibly consuming structures.

The fires often begin unnoticed, spreading very quickly, and are usually signaled by dense smoke that fills the air in the immediate area.

Wildfires are ignited 90 percent of the time by human action. Nationwide, humans cause an average of 60,567 fires each year. Over one-third of all wildland fires originate alongside roads and highways, many as a result of equipment failure or smoking materials being thrown from passing automobiles. Despite the rising penalties, approximately 22 percent of all fires recorded statewide result from an act of arson. Other causes of wildfires include the following:

Over 20 percent of all wildfires that burn over 5,000 acres are caused by power-line failures. Wildfires can also be ignited by sparks from off-road vehicles, construction equipment, and other power-driven equipment used for residential or recreational purposes. In the developed areas, wildfires can start from children playing with matches, unattended recreational fires, equipment use, and sparks from chimneys.

Natural causes, primarily lightning, have recently been attributed to causing the largest wildfire in California history, the August Complex at 1,032,649 acres.

The following three factors contribute significantly to wildland fire behavior:
• Topography: As slope increases, the rate of wildland fire spread increases. South-facing slopes are also subject to greater solar radiation, making them drier and thereby intensifying wildland fire behavior. However, ridge tops may mark the end of wildland fire spread, since fire spreads more slowly or may even be unable to spread downhill unless wind-driven. • Fuel: Weight and volume are the two methods of classifying fuel, with volume also referred to fuel loading (measured in tons of vegetation material per acre). Each fuel is assigned a burn index (the estimated amount of potential energy released during a fire), an estimate of the effort required to contain a wildfire and an expected flame length. The fuel’s continuity is also an important factor, both horizontally and vertically.

Packet Pg. 129 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
30 • Weather: Variation on weather conditions has a significant effect on the occurrences and behavior of wildfires. Short-term conditions, such as high heat, low humidity and high winds, facilitate the ignition and rapid spread of fires. Conversely, cool temperatures, high humidity and little to no wind reduce the risk of wildfires and allow fires to be contained more readily. Long-term conditions, such as prolonged droughts, also play a major role in fire susceptibility.

Other factors increase the wildfire hazard. These include dense vegetation growth and large accumulation of dead vegetative materials in areas that have not been mitigated or burned for many years. Steep terrain compounds the wildfire risk because fires normally burn much faster uphill. Rugged terrain also hinders fire-suppression attempts by hampering the mobility effectiveness of firefighters and equipment.

If not promptly controlled, wildland fires may grow into an emergency or disaster. Firestorms occur during extreme weather with such intensity that fire suppression is virtually impossible. These events typically burn until the conditions change or the fuel is exhausted. Even small fires can threaten lives and resources and destroy improved properties.

It is also important to note that in addition to affecting people, wildland fires may severely affect livestock and pets. Such events may require the emergency watering/feeding, sheltering, evacuation, and even burying of animals.

7.4.2 Effects of Wildfires
Wildfires generally have the most impact on the natural environment. Although some ecosystems are dependent upon recurrent fire to survive, these communities are unique. Watershed, wildlife, and recreational areas are lost due to wildfire. After the fire has been extinguished, the burned land is laid bare of its protective vegetation cover and is susceptible to excessive runoff and erosion. The fire will often destroy the root system of shrubs and grasses that aid in stabilizing slope material. When the winter rains come, the possibility of landslides and debris/mud flows are greatly increased.

The impacts of wildfire often strain public resources, including emergency response and utilities. Water reserves are drawn down, power lines become disabled, telephone service can be disrupted, roads can be blocked, etc. Flood-control facilities may be inadequate to handle the increased storm-runoff debris from barren and burned hills.

Another impact of wildfire are the direct and indirect costs. Direct costs include the obvious suppression costs of equipment and personnel, the destruction of property, roadways, infrastructure, and the following costs of insurance claims.

Indirect costs include the loss of human life, degraded eco-systems, reduced air and water quality, wildlife casualties and lost business and tax revenue. Indirectly, the effects of wildfire continue to impact the mental or psychological quality of people who have experienced the effects of wildfire or from the loss of a loved one or friend.

Integration of five fire determinants (human proximity, vegetation, access, slope, and wind direction) has delineated two natural fire hazard potential zones for the City of Redding. Very high fire hazard severity risk areas lie to the immediate west of central Redding and north and northeast Redding, with Manzanita, Packet Pg. 130 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
31 buck brush, and other highly combustible vegetation, along with steep 20 to 40 percent slope, and somewhat limited access. The medium to low risk areas lie in the vicinity of developed property with grass and scattered oak over more level to gentle (flat to 20 percent) slope and with available access. Areas not threatened by fire risk are within developed areas with cultivated urban cover and available urban access.

Fire, extreme heat, and wind have the greatest impact on the delivery of power to Redding Electric Utility customers. On July 26, 2018 the Carr fire exploded in size and entered the City of Redding causing mandatory evacuations and power outages. The fire destroyed 266 homes in Redding and thousands of Redding residents were evacuated from the westside of the city.

7.4.3 Wildland Urban Interface (WUI)
Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) fires are a significant hazard. In July of 2018, the Carr Fire in Shasta County burned 229,651 acres, destroyed over 1604 structures, killed 8 people and caused an estimated $1.659 billion in damages. In November of the same year, the Camp Fire; the deadliest wildfire in California history, burned approximately 153,000 acres, destroyed over 18,800 structures, killed 85 people and caused an estimated $16.65 billion in damages.

In general, wildfire is not a major threat in the flat, developed areas of Redding when adequate emergency resources are available. However, fire is a major problem in the fringe-urban and hill areas on the west side of Redding and those additional areas, approximately 39 percent, of the City that are identified as very high fire severity zone. This increased risk is due primarily to a predominance of the north-facing slopes that are characteristically more vegetated than those of the southern aspect. Within the west side, the highest fire risk areas are located in the hilly populated regions. All major determinants of fire risk point to this area as the most critical area for the City of Redding.

The City of Redding has numerous subdivisions on the west side of town which are built on ridge tops with significant fuels with valleys and ravines in alignment with prevailing summer winds which results in a significant fire risk to the community. This is further compounded by the hot, dry, and low humidity levels experienced in Redding during the summer, along with wind events that can result in rapid fire growth and spread.

Once a fire starts, it is influenced by several factors, including fuels, topography, weather, drought, and development, along with the ability or inability to quickly access and contain the fire. The combined conditions are key elements which affect the risk and potential severity of the fire.

The major risk involves loss of lives and property which lie in those developed areas identified as in the very high fire severity zones. Here, property damage is not an uncommon occurrence. These interfacing and transitional areas are constantly vulnerable. As development extends more and more into the areas identified as very high fire severity zones, the situation becomes increasingly acute.

7.4.4 History
Within the last 20 years, there have been significant wildfires in Shasta County in which the City of Redding is centrally oriented. These wildfires have killed 12 people, destroyed well over 3,500 structures, burned Packet Pg. 131 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
32 over 400,566 acres, and cost hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. The more significant fires are included in the following table:

In 2018 alone, a total of 194 wildfires burned over 234,649 acres of land in Shasta County and caused an estimated $2,001,632,823.00 in damages, most of which was due to a single event, the Carr fire, the 9th most destructive wildfire in California history.

The City of Redding experiences an average of 168 wildland type fires annually, as measured over a 10- year period from 2011 to 2020. Excluding the Carr fire, wildfires cost an estimated $785,880.00 in damages over the same period within the City.

7.4.5 Future Events
Given the topography, climate and vegetation on the west side of Redding, it is ripe and conducive to having fast-spreading wildfires. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and as shown on Shasta County's Fire Hazard Map, all the hillsides in west Redding are located within the very high fire hazard severity zone, including areas to the north and east of town. The history of the wildfire activity in Shasta County is traumatic, and we will continue to be faced with wildland fires that threaten lives and property every summer.

Packet Pg. 132 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
33 The wildland risk to the City of Redding can be attributed to three factors. The first are the ignition sources, the second is the fuel loading, and the third is resources available to address fires. Mitigation must address reducing the fuel-ignition sources, such as juveniles playing with matches and lighters in the open vegetated areas, transient populations occupying areas within the urban interface and utilizing fire, educating the public on better abatement procedures when using mechanical equipment, and properly disposing of cigarettes. The second is reducing the immediate fuel load surrounding the urbanized area within and around the City of Redding on public and private property. The third is adequate staffing and equipment for handling emergency incidents.

The risks associated with future events will continue to increase as the City sees development on previously approved projects in the very high fire hazard severity zone and as new developments are proposed and constructed.

7.4.6 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
In 2014, the Youth Firesetter Prevention and Intervention program (YFPI) was created. The YFPI program is associated with the Youth Violence Prevention Council in partnership with the Shasta Arson Task Force.

Since its inception to date, the YFPI program has educated over 216 youth for a range of firesetting behavior. Not only are the youth held accountable, but their siblings and parents are included in the educational programs. In the five years since YFPI has been conducting annual educational academies, a decline in the number of juvenile offenders has been realized.

For decades, the City has worked to abate hazardous fuels on public and private property in the very high fire hazard severity zone, mostly around residential neighborhoods by providing defensible space and shaded fuel breaks. These efforts have primarily been through contract work with private fuels reduction companies, utilization of the California Conservation Corps (CCC) and by utilizing inmate hand crews from Cal Fire. The City is also utilizing goats for grazing to reduce light fuels and available combustible vegetation. The use of goats is a sustainable method of fuels reduction and also favorably garners the public’s attention on the subject of defensible space.

In 2019, the Redding City Council approved the Redding Electric Utility (REU) Wildfire Mitigation and Improved Response Program which focusses on reducing risk to and from utility infrastructure and increase emergency response to wildfire. Subject to the availability of funding and necessary staffing, fuelreduction mitigation must continue throughout the very high fire hazard severity zone on both public and private lands.

The City also maintains an Emergency Operations Center to help coordinate information and resources for any type of disaster or threat. Yearly ongoing training, updating of critical information, and drills are conducted to help protect people and property.

All new subdivisions have been approved using the new General Plan regulations and Building and Fire Code adoptions, including residential sprinkler requirements which help mitigate the spread of fire from a residential fire incident to the WUI area. In addition, this may also include one or more of the following: (1) adequate defensible space and development of landscape maintenance districts to maintain defensible space, (2) utilizing noncombustible construction on the exterior, (3) providing two ways in and out, and (4) meeting fire-flow requirements in accordance with the California Fire Code.

Packet Pg. 133 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
34 7.4.7 Vulnerability
The City of Redding has multiple scenarios in which wildfire could severely and aggressively impact homes and structures in the very high fire hazard severity zone, primarily on the west and north sides of the City.

One such scenario of a potential wildfire in the north area effecting a single neighborhood, could destroy 131 or more structures and result in a conservative estimated loss of over $100,721,633 in direct property damage. The fire in this scenario would only have to achieve less than 1,000 acres in size to create this amount of destruction if emergency resources were drawn down and the weather conditions were ripe for such an event.

7.4.8 Mitigations*

36 7.5 Flooding

7.5.1 Nature
Flooding is an overflow of excess water from a stream, river, lake or reservoir, a piped or channeled conveyance, or coastal body of water, onto adjacent floodplains. Flooding can also occur by the accumulation of water in a natural or manmade depression where there normally is none.

Floodplains are lowlands, adjacent to water bodies that are subject to recurring floods. Floods are natural events that are hazards only when people or property is affected. Floods occur in all 50 states and U.S. territories, with an estimated 4 percent of the total area of the United States subject to a one percent annual chance of flood (also known as the 100-year flood) [FEMA, 2001].

The amount of water in the floodplain is a function of the size and topography of the contributing watershed, the regional and local climate, and land use characteristics. Flooding in steep, mountainous areas is usually confined, strikes with less warning time, and has a short duration, while larger rivers in flatter valley and lowland areas typically have longer, more predictable flooding sequences and affect a broader floodplain.

In the City of Redding, floods can be categorized into the following types of occurrences:
• River or stream flooding – includes channel or bank overflows, flash floods, obstruction floods, and dam overflows or failures.
• Local drainage – includes channel or bank overflows, flash floods, debris or obstruction floods, and ponding in natural or manmade depressions.
• Fluctuating lake, reservoir, or pond levels – includes accumulations of water in lakes, reservoirs or ponds, as well as in natural or manmade depressions that are normally dry or hold insignificant volumes of water.

The City of Redding is partially bisected by the
Sacramento River. In addition, the following
major creeks flow through Redding and meet
the Sacramento River within, or just outside,
the city limits:
• Stillwater Creek
• Churn Creek
• Clover Creek
• Sulphur Creek
• Canyon Hollow Creek
• Oregon Gulch
• Olney Creek
• Several smaller creeks are also located
within the city limits.

The Sacramento River
Packet Pg. 136 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
37 The FEMA 100-year floodplain for the above creeks and the Sacramento River total approximately 4,425 acres, or 6.9 square miles. This is approximately 11 percent of the City's land base.

The Sacramento River corridor occupies a relatively narrow and steep channel in the north, which begins to broaden somewhat in the central Redding area and becomes a fairly broad farmland floodplain at the southern limits of the City and beyond. The northern and western areas of the City are hilly, with welldefined canyons and stream corridors. The eastern and southeastern sections of the City sit atop a plateau above the Sacramento River, but are relatively flat with moderate to minor hills and broader, less defined stream channels.

Flooding along the Sacramento River typically arises due to increased flows from Shasta Dam and Keswick Dam. Shasta Dam regulates and controls mass storage of prolonged periods of rainfall from the rivers and watersheds above the dam, including the Upper Sacramento River, the Pit River, Squaw Creek, and numerous smaller creeks. Keswick Dam (immediately downstream from Shasta Dam) acts as an afterbay to more finely regulate the flows directly into the river. These two dams act in concert to deliver precise and well-regulated flows to the Sacramento River directly north of Redding. Local drainage flooding occurs primarily due to infrequent, high-intensity rainfall events and to debris or obstructions.

7.5.2 Effects of Flooding
River flooding in the City of Redding generally causes no loss of person or property. River flood levels are regulated and predictable. Advance notice of increased releases is sent to local agencies and the media, usually with 12 or more hours' notice.

In order to maintain a safe level of storage capacity behind the dam and prevent an overtopping event, regulators from the Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau) routinely increase flows either during or following large, intense or prolonged rainfall periods in the watershed. These flows are increased to help draw down the lake to a safe level and typically stay below 35,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). There is no river flooding in Redding at this release.

Approximately once a year, it is necessary for the Bureau to increase releases to approximately 53,000 cfs.

At this level, one street is closed and portions of two riverside parks and trails are closed due to minor flooding. This also causes flooding below Redding and Shasta County, though it is mostly farmlands and a few road closures at this level.

Approximately every five to seven years, the Bureau finds it necessary to increase flows to the maximum safe release of 80,000 cfs. During these flows, several blocks of riverside roadway are closed due to flooding, as are larger portions of the riverside parks and boat ramps. Flows greater than 80,000 cfs are possible, but are highly unlikely due to the widespread flooding in the valley areas below Redding. Several areas in Tehama and Colusa counties become inundated and several small communities in these areas become flooded or isolated due to the river flow at this level.

Following the recession of flows greater than 53,000 cfs, streets are reopened and swept of silt and minor debris. Riverside parks and trails are checked for erosion, cleaned of minor debris, and then reopened to the public.

Packet Pg. 137 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
38 Localized flooding from high-intensity rainfall events, of which there is a few each year, typically manifests as flooded parking lots and ponding along some surface streets. Road closures are rare and water levels recede quickly, leaving only minor cleanup of silt and debris.

Many of the local drainage channels are concrete-lined, but most are left “natural” per Department of Fish and Wildlife permitting and regulations. These natural channels, with their increased natural vegetation, can become clogged or obstructed, especially at roadway under-crossings, due to the vegetation breaking away from the banks during periods of high flows.

Localized flooding from obstructions also takes place a few times each year. Typically, during prolonged periods of rainfall with moderate to high intensity, these obstructions cause overflows in small channels and ditches. Backyard flooding, including flooding the occasional swimming pool, as well as some street flooding, can occur. Reports of minor flooding to garages and outbuildings, landscape erosion, and flooded streets have occurred. Trash and other debris can also be found obstructing culvert and pipe openings during even moderate flows in smaller channels. Vandalism can also lead to clogging or obstruction of flows from pipe systems. The increased use of plastic pipe in storm-drain systems has led to vandals building fires in the pipe openings, thus melting the pipe and causing it to sag into a closed or nearly closed opening, creating an obstruction. This forces the water to either: back-up in the pipe until it reaches a surface street and creates localized flooding or ponding; or does not allow water into the pipe system, which causes the upstream channel to overflow and flood adjoining properties. Storm Drain maintenance crews respond quickly to calls of flooding, and locate and clear the obstructions. Water levels quickly recede, but ponding may remain in some areas.

7.5.3 History
Prior to the building of Shasta Dam, the Sacramento River could reach flows in excess of 225,000 cfs [U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers, 1942], flooding a portion of central Redding and much of south Redding. Since the completion of the dam, flows have not exceeded 80,000 cfs and, as previously mentioned, damage is typically limited to clean up of silt and minor debris.

Localized flooding occurs every year, causing very little damage and requiring cleanup and removal of silt and debris. In 2009 and the early '90's, there were several events that were beyond normal.

In February 2019, the Redding area experienced a heavy rainstorm. Approximately 60 homes, including the Safari Mobile Home Park, were evacuated in the south Redding area off Jewell Lane just west of Highway 273 as the water rose to about 3 feet in the neighborhood. The heavy rains also caused a portion of the roof at a local grocery store to collapse.

In December 2019, the south Redding area experience about an inch of rain in a one-hour period. This resulted in pockets of flooding throughout the south Redding area. A stretch of South Market Street, a major arterial, was temporarily shut down.

In March 2009, Redding downtown experienced more than four inches of rain in just three hours.

Neighborhoods were flooded, creeks overflowed, and streets became rivers. An arterial road, Quartz Hill Road, was closed due to a mudslide. A nursing home, a preschool, and some residents were evacuated.

Packet Pg. 138 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
39 Vehicles stalled in intersections and parked vehicles in an underground garage were moved by the flood waters. The flood also caused the death of one person who fell into the Calaboose Creek canal.

In 1993, a small tributary along the Sacramento River in north Redding experienced what was later calculated as a 50-year-storm event, causing rapid rise and fast flows along the channel, which had raised banks. A tree along the bank of the channel, upstream of a double box-culvert, dislodged and flowed downstream, becoming wedged in one of the culvert openings. The obstruction caused an overflow of the channel into the adjoining residential neighborhood, flooding a dozen homes as the water followed the path of least resistance to the river. About eight of the homes experienced garage flooding and damage to equipment and personal property, while four homes suffered flooding within the main house, as well as damage to personal property. The channel was subsequently widened, and an additional cell was added to the double-box culvert in order to provide for a 100-year-storm event.

A series of flooding events beginning in 1985 and culminating in a lawsuit against the City in 1997 brought attention to an ever-increasing problem along Clover Creek. Upstream development activity in both the City and county, near the headwaters of Clover Creek and along Airport Road, increased peak flows during periods of high intensity rainfall, causing flooding along Clover Creek in the Goodwater Avenue area below Freeman Way. Many homes and outbuildings that had been constructed in pre-FEMA mapping years in the floodway or floodplain of Clover Creek were affected, resulting in claims for property and personal property damage. Flood mitigation resulted in the building of a regional detention facility immediately upstream of the problem area. The Clover Creek Detention facility, now completed, is large enough to handle current and future flows based on build out.

Repetitive Loss
The City of Redding has one property which has claimed flood damages for 2 separate events. This property is located within a Special Flood Hazard Area along Boulder Creek. The property owner filed claims in October 2009 and January 2016. In 2020, the City, following an extensive research and inspection, determined the property damages were caused by: (1) the property sits about two inches below the street elevation; (2) the insufficient storm drain facility which was constructed prior to the City annexing this neighborhood into the City; (3) the overgrown vegetation within Boulder Creek; thereby reducing the capacity for the creek to adequately convey water during heavy rains; and (4) the location of the downspouts and compromised downspout extenders several contributing factors. During a heavy storm event stormwater is forced over the rolled curbed towards the building’s west side, which is diverted by the building around to the south side and ultimately flows southwest towards the creek. To assist in mitigating future losses on the property, the City, sends an annual letter to inform her of how the property owner and adjacent property owners along that span of Boulder Creek can relieve the situation, along with things they can do to prepare for flooding, and some permanent flood-protection measures they should consider.

7.5.4 Future Events
Floods and flooding are gauged by their size (width and depth of the affected area) and the probability of occurrence. The size and depth of the floodplain area is computed using mathematical models of precipitation, slope, runoff, soil type, and cross-section. Flood depths are calculated at intervals along a stream or channel corridor and then mapped and interpolated between sections. This results in the floodplain map.

Packet Pg. 139 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
40 The probability of occurrence is expressed in a percentage of the chance of a flood of a specific extent occurring in any given year. The most widely adopted design and regulatory standard for floods in the United States is the one percent annual chance flood, and this is the standard formally adopted by FEMA.

The one percent annual flood is also commonly referred to as the "100-year flood," leading to the misconception that it should occur only once every 100 years. In fact, a 100-year flood may occur in any year, regardless of the time that has passed since the last one. It is the probability that smaller floods occur more often than larger floods that compels the percentage.

Flood Probability Terms
Flood Occurrence Intervals Percent Chance of Occurrence Annually 10 years 10.0%
50 years 2.0%
100 years 1.0%
500 years 0.2%

7.5.5 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
The City of Redding actively enforces the Building Code, General Plan, and Zoning Ordinance regulations concerning development within the 100-year floodplain. Limiting development within the floodplain will help safeguard routine future events from significant impacts. A map of the 100-year floodplain for the Sacramento River and the major creeks cited above is included as Figure 6.

Since July 1996, the City of Redding has actively participated in FEMA’s Community Rating System (CRS).

The City initially received a Class 9 rating. The following year, the City strengthened its overall Floodplain Management Program and was upgraded to a Class 7 rating. In 2011, the City was successful in achieving a Class 6 rating. The rating improvements have resulted in not only a cost savings to those citizens in need of flood insurance but proactively decrease losses by managing development in the floodplain.

The City of Redding has participated in the Community Rating System (CRS) since 1996. The CRS is a voluntary program for National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) participating communities. The goals of the CRS are to reduce flood damages to insurable property, strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP, and encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management. The CRS has been developed to provide incentives in the form of premium discounts for communities to go beyond the minimum floodplain-management requirements to develop extra measures to provide protection from flooding. The NFIP's CRS program ranks cities according to flood-awareness promotion and implementation of flood-protection measures and rewards communities with reduced flood insurance premiums. Modeled after the insurance industry's Community Fire Rating System, the CRS provides insurance discounts in 5 percent increments for each 10 rating classes, with Class 1 being the highest. A community accrues points to improve its CRS class rating and receive increasingly greater insurance rate discounts through engaging in any of 18 creditable activities. Since the City of Redding's inception into the CRS program, the City has continued to increase flood-protection measures and continues to increase public awareness of the hazards of flooding. This has ultimately resulted in increasing the City's "Community Rating" from the initial Class 9, giving residents a 5 percent discount in federal flood insurance Packet Pg. 140 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
41 premiums, to a Class 6, giving our residents a 20 percent discount in federal flood insurance premiums.

The City will continue to participate in the CRS program and consider additional CRS activities to further reduce flood hazards and further promote flood hazard awareness.

Additionally, FEMA has updated and modernized the FIRMs nationwide through its Flood Map Modernization effort and has undertaken a Flood Insurance Rate Map update for Shasta County as part of this Map Modernization Program. After completing a re-evaluation of flood hazards in our community, FEMA adopted the new "Digital" Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs) and has updated flood-insurance rate zones and replaced the existing maps in Shasta County. These maps went into effect March 17, 2011, and are available for review at the Planning and Permit Center counters.

During FEMA's re-evaluation of flood hazards in our community, it was determined that the Olney Creek Levee is not in compliant with current levee standards and could not be recognized as a protection measure. Therefore, this resulted in additional properties and/or homes being placed in a special flood hazard area. Efforts are being put forth to search out grants to fund the necessary studies required to pursue certification of the Olney Creek Levee.

The City has also developed on-site retention policies relevant to all new construction. Once again, these policies are a safeguard against peak-flow increases caused by development and the subsequent runoff from impervious materials. Detention basins are designed to accommodate 100-year-storm runoff and require no net increase in historic flows at the point of release.

The City of Redding is planning to update the Storm Drain Master Plan. When complete, this Master Plan will identify key projects needed to minimize flooding and their costs. The plan will also address development of regional detention policies and locations so as to minimize the impacts of future development on existing streams and channels.

7.5.6 Vulnerability
The City of Redding's most probable vulnerability to flooding and flood damage is along the natural stream corridors. Natural growth and vegetation along these corridors, combined with a 100-year event in the watershed above a given location, would most likely cause localized flooding.

In 2008, a Regional Detention Feasibility Study was prepared for the Churn Creek Drainage Basin. The goal of the study was to analyze the impact of regional detention with the Churn Creek Drainage Basin and evaluate its effectiveness at reducing the number of detention basins within the City, as well as reducing the number of proposed improvements listed in the 1992 Montgomery Watson Citywide Storm Drain Master Plan. The Churn Creek Basin was the focus of this study, since it is the largest of the drainage basins in the City. The study identified several areas of inundation within the Churn Creek Basin during a 100-year-storm event with an average depth of flooding, ranging from 1.0 feet to 3.4 feet. It was estimated that 272 structures would be impacted with potential damages of $3,797,464.00.

A flooding scenario was run whereby a box culvert became obstructed because of a tree that dislodged from a stream bank. This flood scenario would affect over 200 structures. Damage estimates are approximately $2 million. (See Figure 7)

44 7.6 Severe Weather – Extreme Heat, Snow and Wind

7.6.1 Nature
Severe weather includes extreme heat, extreme cold, heavy snowfall, ice storms, winter storms, and/or strong winds. Extreme heat may result in utility disruption and winter storms may result in other hazards such as flooding, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, or extreme winds.

The Hazard Mitigation Team identified extreme heat, snowstorms and strong winds as the most likely severe weather hazards based on history in the City of Redding.

Extreme Heat
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines extreme heat as summertime temperatures that are much hotter and/ or humid than average for a particular location at that time of the year. The National Weather Service (NWS) defines a heat wave as a period of unusually hot weather that typically lasts four or more days, with temperatures above the extreme heat threshold.

Extreme heat, like most other hazards of concern is a direct and secondary climate change impact that is a global issue with local effects, and may pose a serious threat to the health and safety of residents.

Snow
NWS defines snow as a steady fall of snow for several hours or more. Heavy snow is defined as either snowfall accumulating to 4 inches in depth in 12 hours or less, or snowfall accumulating to 6 inches or more in depth in 24 hours or less.

Heavy snow can result in collapse of structures from the weight of the snow, downed trees or large branches, power outages, flooding, and auto accidents. In addition, it can hamper emergency services and recovery efforts.

Wind
Wind is commonly reported using terms such as fastest-mile wind speed and/or peak-gust wind speed.

The fastest-mile wind speed is defined at the highest wind speed measured at an altitude of 30 feet, in open terrain, over a period of time that it takes for one mile of wind to pass by the anemometer, the instrument used to measure wind speed.

The peak-gust wind speed is the highest wind speed measured over a period of 2 to 5 seconds. It is approximately 20 percent larger than the fastest-mile wind speed. Therefore, a fastest-mile wind speed of 75 miles per hour (mph) would correspond to a peak-gust wind speed of approximately 90 mph. The shorter the duration of measurement, the higher the wind speed due to the gust factor (i.e., the rapid variation of wind speed in time).

High winds are defined as winds of 40 mph or greater lasting for one hour or longer, or wind gusts of 58 mph or greater. Hurricane-force winds are often referred to when sustained winds exceed 74 mph.

Packet Pg. 144 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
45 High winds can result in damage to roofing materials; downed trees or large branches; power outages; auto accidents; and the collapse of awnings, patio covers, and carports. The presence of downed trees and branches can also hamper emergency services and recovery efforts.

Secondary Impact – Utility Disruption
The City of Redding Electric Utility (REU) owns, operates, and maintains the City of Redding's electric distribution system. REU is responsible for the production, procurement, and delivery of electric energy to the customers primarily located within the Redding city limits. The major hazards facing the Utility are natural disasters and energy-supply shortage.

The City of Redding also owns, operates, and maintains the City's water and wastewater systems. The water utility produces more than 30 million gallons a day of treated surface water and in excess of 12 million gallons a day of well water during peak summer demand.

The wastewater utility can currently treat 14 million gallons a day at the Stillwater treatment plant and 40 million gallons a day at the Clear Creek treatment plant during wet weather. However, during intense, short-duration rainfall events, the plants can divert 12 and 100 million gallons a day, respectively, into their overflow ponds. The major hazards facing the City's water and wastewater utilities are energy-supply shortages, equipment failures, and peak storm-event capacity.

7.6.2 History
The City of Redding typically experiences severe weather during the months of June through September and in the months of December and January. Period of extreme heat are a result of prevailing winds typically blowing from the North, down the Klamath Mountain slopes into the northern valley. These winds are warm and dry with compression as they descend towards the valley floor. The natural setting of the City with mountains on all sides retains this warm and dry wind resulting in extreme temperatures. Storms with strong southerly winds with or without heavy rain are relatively common during these months and typically occur several times per year. Wind speeds of 40 to 50 mph and peak gusts up to 60 mph occur with some regularity. On the other hand, snowstorms are not as common an occurrence for the City. It’s not unusual for the City to experience no measurable amounts of snow for several years in a row.

Extreme Heat
Redding routinely experiences the hottest summer temperatures anywhere in California north of the Mojave Desert. The natural setting of the City with mountains on all sides creates a rugged backdrop and walls it off from any tempering ocean influence. This condition of adiabatic warming where the dry heat does not leave the system but tends to keep the nighttime temperatures in the 80s or the low 90s during intense heat days leaves Redding extremely dry and prone to a serious risk of fire. 100 °F weather is common in Redding with the earliest recorded 100-degree weather day dating back to May 4th 1893. Redding experienced record-setting high temperature of 118 °F in July 1988; a 117 °F in June 2006 and in the most recent times 116 °F in August of 2021. Redding on an average experiences Packet Pg. 145 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
46 twelve heat waves annually that threatens critical infrastructure, worsens air quality, affects public health and a poses high risk of fire.

According to Cal-Adapt, California’s database of climate information, Redding, under observed historical data from 1975, experienced an average 29 days of extreme heat when a daily maximum temperature is above 100 °F under a medium emissions scenario and an average 4 days of extreme heat when a daily maximum temperature was above 107 °F under similar conditions. This however has changed dramatically since 2005, as we experience an average of 50 days of extreme heat where a daily maximum temperature is above 100 °F and 12 days of extreme heat where a daily maximum temperature is over 107 °F annually under medium emissions scenario.

47 Snow
According to newspaper reports, the largest one-day (unofficial) record for snowfall in Redding occurred on New Year's Day in 1899, with more than 23 inches of snow.

The NWS official records, which began in 1893, indicate the largest one-day snowfall total at 16 inches, two-day snowfall total at 20 inches, and maximum three-day snowfall total at 23 inches. The exact dates of the NWS records are not known, but are likely to be from the City of Redding's most damaging snowstorm on record, which began on December 22, 1968. In this event, several storms produced wet snow that caused a number of roofs to collapse, most notably a drug store, bowling alley, billiard parlor, roller rink, grocery store, wholesale-food warehouse, and the top of the main airplane hangar at Benton Airpark. Other damage reported included the toppling or breaking of overloaded trees and large limbs and metal awnings collapsing onto cars. Total damage was estimated at $3.2 million.

In December 1988, three different storm systems dumped a total of 17 inches of snow in Redding. On New Year's Eve in 1992, an unexpected snowstorm caught Redding residents off guard, when 4 to 10 inches of snow fell. These events appear to have been mostly an inconvenience to City residents and resulted in little damage.

In late December 2003, the City of Redding experienced its most damaging snowfall since 1968. Snow began falling in the evening of December 28 and continued to do so steadily through the next morning.

While snow accumulations did vary significantly throughout the City, the north and west areas of the City experienced the largest snowfall amounts of nearly 12 inches. There were a few industrial buildings that experienced partial roof collapses, and several metal-roof carports collapsed at an apartment complex.

While the structural damage was much less than what had occurred in the 1968 snowstorm, there were a significant number of downed trees, tree branches, and power lines and some auto accidents from this storm. The tree damage occurred most commonly on large-canopy live oak trees that collected the heavy snow on their leaf-laden branches. Unlike other oak trees common in the Redding area, live oaks do not lose their leaves in the fall. Some of the fallen trees and/or limbs caused damage to residences while many others fell into and blocked streets.

The City of Redding Electric Utility classified the December 2003 snowstorm as a 1 in 25-year event (i.e., occurs once every 25 years). The storm event was logged between December 28, 2003, and January 2, 2004, and included the snowstorm and a windstorm that followed, with wind speeds in excess of 60 miles per hour. The storm events affected 13,229 customers. The total direct cost to the Electric Utility was reported as $328,500.

In February of 2018, the City of Redding experienced another snowfall event. This snowfall dropped 14 inches of snow in 12 hours on the night of February 12th. The storm caused significant problems for the community. Downed trees and power lines caused power outages to over 20,000 residents. Fire Fighters received over 330 emergency response calls in a 24-hour period compared to 30-50 in a normal 24 hr. period. There were no reports of roofs collapsing because of the snow itself. However, there were numerous buildings and cars damaged by falling trees. This storm damaged an extremely large number of trees. Several thousand trees in the City alone. There were reports of 10 or more downed trees per mile along some roadways hampering access on the roads.

48 Wind
According to the NWS, the highest recorded wind speeds in the City of Redding occurred in early December 1995, when 60 mph (fastest-mile) and 85 mph peak gusts were measured. The Record Searchlight reported that these hurricane-force winds knocked down fences, toppled trees and power poles, tore roofing off houses, tipped a big rig in a parking lot, and caused damage at the Redding Municipal Airport to 4 planes and 18 hangars. The storm also resulted in the death of a woman who was smothered when a large oak tree fell through her mobile home and landed on the bed where she was sleeping. This storm appears to have produced the strongest winds since 1877, when peak gusts were estimated to be nearly 80 mph.

Many longtime Redding residents make comparisons between the December 1995 storm and what is referred to as the Columbus Day Storm. On October 12, 1962, this storm blew into to California as a result of tropical typhoon Frieda, apparently with wind gusts slightly less than the December 1995 storm. It too caused damage to fences, roofs, trees, power poles, etc. throughout the City.

The most recent windy weather event occurred in the final days of 2014 which contributed to the death of a woman who was trapped by a large gray pine that landed on a house. The wind gusts at the Redding Airport peaked at 38 mph around 2 a.m. Wednesday, December 31, with sustained winds averaging 29 mph.

Hail
According to the NWS, 2.5” tennis ball sized hail was reported at 10:00 p.m. on May 24, 2019.

The hail damaged cars and roofs of buildings. There were an estimated 13,000 homes that had damage to their roofing as a result of the hail storm. Although the storm only lasted a few minutes the amount of damage was significant and included vehicles, patio covers, skylights, roofs and fences.

Secondary Impact – Utility Disruption
Extended high temperatures throughout the State of California may impact the state’s electrical grid during extreme heat events. Energy-supply shortages in California also threaten the reliability to our customers.

Major causes can be attributed to wildfires and large-area electrical-grid disturbances. In 1996, Redding was impacted by a West Coast power outage that caused the automatic load shedding of about 30 percent of our customers for over 30 minutes. On February 13, 2019 the Redding area experienced an abnormally heavy snowstorm, leaving many customers without power for a period of up to seven days. North state fires and National Weather Service “Red Flag Warning days” issued due to high winds have increased significantly over the past several years.

During severe storm events, spikes in turbidity could lead to the shutdown of Pump House No. 1. By having an alternate to the pump house, the water delivery system is more reliable and allows more flexibility for periodic inspection, maintenance, and repairs to be performed at the treatment plant.

7.6.3 Future Events

49 Based on the historical data, it is expected that the entire planning area, the City of Redding, will continue to be equally at risk and experience severe weather, including extreme heat, high winds and heavy snow.

Extreme heat of temperatures over 100 °F is expected to increase exponentially under medium emission scenario stemming primarily from the higher frequency, more intense and longer heat waves resulting in higher risks of heat strokes and dehydration. High winds with gusts up to 60 mph are anticipated to occur on a fairly regular basis. While snowstorms that produce small amounts of snowfall accumulation may occur slightly less often as storms that produce high winds, snowstorms that produce damaging amounts of snowfall are expected to occur much less often (i.e., approximately once every 20 years).

7.6.4 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
The City of Redding enforces the California Building Code (CBC) and the applicable sections of the CBC that relate to snow-load and wind-load design. The current design criterion for the City of Redding is 30 pounds per square foot (psf) non-reducible snow load and wind loading based on 85 mph three-secondgust wind speed with the appropriate exposure category for the site (i.e., Exposure B or Exposure C for open and flat site conditions).

In the summer of 1969, as a direct result of the damage from the December 1968 snowstorm, the City adopted a minimum design (roof) snow load of 30 pounds per square foot (psf) for all new structures. This design snow load was based on the recommendations from a committee of local engineers, architects, and building inspectors who investigated and studied the roof failures. Prior to the 1968 storm, there was no snow load-design requirement.

The City does not have a number of structures that were constructed prior to the 30 psf snow load. The current policy is that structures built prior to 1970 must undergo a snow-load analysis by a qualified design professional (i.e., licensed engineer of architect) when that structure undergoes a change in use or occupancy that results in the structure being placed in higher hazard occupancy group, as required by CBC Chapter 34. Structures that are found to be structurally deficient are required to be upgraded to support a 30 psf snow load.

To mitigate the impact of natural disasters, REU participates in a local Emergency Response group and belongs to the California Utility Emergency Association (CUEA) through which has executed mutual aid agreements with the other member California utilities. REU adheres to a comprehensive system-maintenance and tree-trimming program in accordance with CPUC standards. In addition, Senate Bill 901 required all utilities in California to prepare and submit a wildfire mitigation plan. On December 3, 2019 Redding City Council approved REU’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

In regard to energy-supply mitigation, REU belongs to the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC). WECC is one of the nation's electric reliability organizations under the jurisdiction of the North American Reliability Council (NERC). NERC sets the reliability standards for all electric utilities connected to the Bulk Electric System. These standards govern the majority of REU's emergency procedures and protocols relating to system operation, stability, and reliability. In addition to meeting NERC standards, REU has taken additional measures to mitigate energy-supply shortages, such as installing local power generation, participating in regional emergency reserve groups, and installing emergency "off-system" generators. REU maintains the following emergency plans:

Packet Pg. 149 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
50 REU Plans
• Emergency Operating Procedures
• Energy Emergency Plan – Public Notification and Appeal • Recognition and Reporting of Sabotage
• Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plans (SPCC) • Hazardous Materials Business Plans for REU Facilities • Wildfire Mitigation Plan
• Physical Security Plan
Wet Utilities
To mitigate the impact of utility disruption, the City of Redding's water and wastewater facilities are equipped with redundant power supplies, diesel generators, and back-up portable pumps. Some generators are at permanent locations, while others are portable, providing flexibility in operations. The City adheres to a comprehensive system- and facility-maintenance schedule. Generators at Foothill & PH1 will be installed as part of a FEMA/CAL OES grant awarded in 2020.

The City is currently in the process of evaluating and updating its water and wastewater models to better assess required facility improvements. These improvement recommendations establish what is required now and, in the future, with projected population growth.

The City also has emergency pumping plans when flows exceed the capacity of strategic wastewater lift stations.

7.6.5 Vulnerability
Extreme Heat
Extreme heat events can be further exacerbated by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. Urban Heat Island is any large urban area that often experiences higher temperatures, greater pollution, and negative health impacts during hot summer months. This phenomenon is created by a combination of heat-absorptive surfaces, heat-generating activities and the absence of vegetation resulting in warmer nighttime temperatures, worsened air quality in urban environments leading to heat-related illness and fatalities.

Vegetation helps mitigate the UHI effect through evaporative cooling. Urban tree cover (urban forests), parks, green roofs and walls essentially are ideal solutions to UHI effect that not just reduce temperature, but also provide shade and improve air quality during heat events. The technological advancements currently available includes, cool roofs, cool pavements (light colored materials that reflect, rather than absorb solar energy) and heat reflective paints that considerably reduce surface temperatures. • Public Health: Impacts include cardiovascular stress, premature death, dehydration, sunburns, skin rashes and heat-related illnesses such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and kidney stones.

Packet Pg. 150 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
51 • Fire: Excessive heat decreases the moisture content in the environment, increasing its flammability, the length and severity of wildfire.
• Utility disruption: Damage to critical infrastructure: Extreme heat can lead to power outages as people rely heavily on air-conditioning and other indoor cooling systems. This can overwhelm the power grid, leading to service disruptions, adversely affecting people who rely on electricity for critical functions and medical services.
• Air quality: Extreme heat contributes to the formation of ground level ozone that is extremely harmful to human health. This in the form of smog, combined with other secondary pollutants such as automobile and industrial emissions chemically react in the presence of heat and sunlight, to form compounds that worsen air quality leading to health-related risks. Smog, also tends to stay longer increasing community exposure to pneumonia, asthma, allergic rhinitis, respiratory diseases, leading to premature death amongst seniors, children, and infants that are susceptible to experiencing these impacts.

Snow
When winter snow storms occur, they will affect the entire community’s population. Power outages from snow fall alone are rare, unless freezing rain has accompanied the snow fall. The City has snow-clearing equipment to plow non-state roads. This mitigates car accidents as drivers with little winter driving experience will tend to drive too fast and brake too quickly, therefore relieving the strain on emergency services. Additionally, snow fall means lower temperatures which tend to mean more structure fires created by using unsafe heating methods. In large snow falls, businesses may suffer because of the inability of employees to get to work because of road conditions. This generally lasts for a day.

Homeowners are often not prepared for the cold weather associated with snow fall which means that water pipes often break. Snow fall typically does not have as significant an impact on the total population of the City as high winds.

Wind
When wind storms occur, it will affect the entire population. The first effect will be power loss to the residences and businesses. Power will be interrupted by downed lines as a result of trees blowing over or branches falling onto lines. The City of Redding Electric Utility have been proactive by implementing mitigation programs that cut back tree branches in compliance with the California State Public Utility Commission (CPUC) tree-trimming clearance standards that were established in January 1997. This helps tree limbs from falling onto the lines. Debris such as fallen branches in the road causes driving hazards for the public and emergency service personnel. Debris clearing becomes a top priority for the City after high wind storms.

Hail
Unlike the snow and the wind, hail storms are typically unpredictable and usually only affect an isolated area of the population. Damage mostly occurs to structures and vehicle but there could be injuries to humans and livestock. Accumulation of hail on the roadways can causes driving hazards for the public and emergency service personnel. Clearing or road closures becomes a high priority for the City.

55 7.7 Earthquakes

7.7.1 Nature
A fault is a thin layer of crushed rock between two blocks of the earth's crust that have moved relative to one another. A fault can range in length from a few centimeters to thousands of miles.

An earthquake is the shaking and vibration at the surface of the earth resulting from underground movement along a fault plane and less frequently from volcanic activity. Earthquakes occur when forces underground cause the fault to rupture and suddenly slip. This occurs when the stress buildup at the fault exceeds the strength of rock resisting the movement.

Two of the most common methods to describe an earthquake are by intensity and magnitude. Intensity and magnitude measure different characteristics of earthquakes.

Intensity
Intensity is a measure of the strength of shaking experienced in an earthquake at a particular location. The intensity scale used in the United States is the Modified Mercalli (MM) intensity scale, which represents the local effect or damage caused by an earthquake (see Table 7-5). This scale, composed of 12 increasing levels of intensity that range from imperceptible shaking to catastrophic destruction, is designated by Roman numerals (I through XII). The lower numbers of the intensity scale generally deal with the manner in which the earthquake is felt by people. The higher numbers of the scale are based on observed structural damage. The maximum observed intensity generally occurs near the earthquake epicenter, and the intensity generally decreases away from the epicenter.

Sometimes earthquakes are referred to by the maximum intensity they produce. The Modified Mercalli intensity value assigned to a specific site after an earthquake has a more meaningful measure of severity to the general public than the earthquake magnitude, because intensity refers to the observed effects and damage actually experienced at that location. For example, an earthquake of intensity MM II would barely be felt by people favorably situated, while intensity MM X would produce heavy damage, especially to unreinforced masonry structures.

Local geologic conditions strongly influence the intensity of an earthquake. Commonly, sites on soft ground or alluvium may have intensities 2 to 3 units higher than sites on bedrock.

Magnitude
Magnitude is a measure of the size of the earthquake and energy released at the source of the earthquake where the fault slip has occurred. Magnitude is determined from measurements on seismographs which record the ground motion from the earthquake.

Magnitude scales, like the Richter (local) magnitude and moment magnitude, measure the size of the earthquake at its source. Thus, they do not depend on where the measurement of the earthquake is Packet Pg. 155 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
56 made. Earthquakes below magnitude M2.5 are generally not felt by people. Table 7-6 represents the approximate Modified Mercalli intensity near the epicenter of the earthquake versus the earthquake magnitude.

57 Seismic Hazards
The primary seismic hazard is ground shaking caused by the earthquake and resulting seismic waves.

Ground shaking is most often reported as peak ground acceleration (PGA) which represents the largest ground acceleration recorded by a particular station during an earthquake. PGA may be given in various acceleration units but is most commonly reported as a percentage (or fraction) of the acceleration of gravity (i.e. “g”). Table 7-7 represents the approximate relationship between the Modified Mercalli intensity and PGA, as a percentage of “g”.

Secondary hazards include surface faulting, liquefaction, landslides, and tsunamis. Surface faulting is displacement that reaches the earth's surface during slip along a fault. Liquefaction is the process by which water-saturated sediment temporarily loses strength and acts as a fluid.

7.7.2 History
Shasta County has a low level of historic seismic activity. In the past 120 years, there has been no significant property damage or loss of life due to earthquakes occurring within or near the county.

Maximum recorded intensities have reached MM VII, with possibly one instance of MM VIII. Most of the stronger intensity seismic activity in Shasta County has occurred in the eastern half of the county near Lassen Peak.

The City of Redding is located in the less seismically active western half of Shasta County, referred to as an area of “moderate seismicity.” Earthquake activity has not been a serious hazard in the City of Redding's history, nor is it probable that it will become a serious hazard in the future.

Research of historical earthquakes indicates that Redding has experienced several moderate-sized earthquakes, magnitude 4.0 to 4.5 (estimated) in 1904, 1915, 1919, 1920 and 1930.

On November 26 (Thanksgiving Day), 1998, the City of Redding experienced a local magnitude ML 5.2 earthquake that was centered three miles north-northwest of Redding near Keswick Dam. This was the largest recorded earthquake since the U.S. Geological Survey began monitoring Shasta County in 1981 and was believed to be the largest earthquake in the Redding area since 1878. No structural damage was Packet Pg. 157 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
58 reported in the City of Redding. Nonstructural damage that was reported consisted of broken merchandise at a liquor store, grocery store, and drug store; loss of power at a grocery store due to a damaged electrical panel; a fire sprinkler break causing damage in a mechanical room and two operating rooms at Mercy Medical Center; and nonstructural cracks at expansion joints in a highway overpass. Outside the city limits, a 4-million-gallon water tank in Bella Vista lifted about an inch off its foundation, resulting in bent anchor bolt washers; and a PG&E transformer caught fire in Corning, resulting in a temporary power outage for 7,500 customers.

The only reported earthquake injury occurred in the City of Shasta Lake when a woman slipped and fell in a grocery store. She was later admitted to Mercy Medical Center for X-rays.

7.7.3 Future Events
Ground Shaking
The City of Redding is assigned to Seismic Design Category D per the 2019 California Building Code. The City of Redding, in its entirely, would be at a relatively low risk of exposure to strong seismic shaking. The maximum earthquake intensity is expected to be between MM VI & MM VII (see Table 7-5).

According to the California Department of Conservation – Division of Mines and Geology (DMG), seismic hazard mapping indicates approximate probabilistic peak-ground accelerations (PGA) of 16%g, 18%g, and 22%g on firm rock, soft rock, and alluvium site soil categories, respectively. These ground accelerations correspond to the earthquake that has a 10 percent probability of being exceeded in 50 years, or the earthquake that has a return interval of 475 years.

Surface Faulting
There are no fault-rupture hazard zones within the City of Redding, as defined by the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act. Therefore, surface fault rupture is not considered to be a significant hazard.

Ground Failure
Based on the low to moderate expected PGA and the geology and the topography within the City of Redding, seismically induced land sliding and/or liquefaction are not considered significant hazards.

7.7.4 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
Damage in Redding resulting from earthquakes would most likely be from ground shaking and less likely from related ground failure. The effects of ground shaking are best mitigated by adequate design for the maximum probable earthquake for the City of Redding. The effects of ground failure are best mitigated by adequate geotechnical investigations of specific sites.

The City of Redding enforces the California Building Code, which establishes building requirements for all new structures based on predicted earthquake intensities. The risk of loss of life and property damage due to seismic activity is assumed to be minimized if the California Building Code is enforced. The Seismic Packet Pg. 158 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
59 Hazards Assessment for the City of Redding states "... the UBC (Uniform Building Code) generally provides conservative ground motion criteria for the design of new buildings and structures ... the probability is small that the UBC [design standard] will be exceeded." ** However, the Assessment also states that some structures on alluvial deposits and soft rock could experience peak horizontal accelerations greater than those anticipated in the UBC and, therefore, recommends that site-specific seismic hazard evaluations be performed for critical facilities.

The Seismic Hazards Assessment for the City of Redding also includes maps of the potential liquefaction areas within the City's sphere of influence. The Assessment recommends that where areas of liquefaction potential are anticipated, site-specific investigations regarding liquefaction potential should be made.

Plan review of building permit applications are provided through the Building Division of the Development Services Department. The Building Division currently consists of 18 staff members: a Building Official/Assistant Development Services Director, a supervising building inspector, four building inspectors, three plan examiners, one senior plans examiner, one plan check engineers, three Code Enforcement officers, three development services techs, and one administrative assistant. All the building inspectors and plan checkers are certified by the International Code Council (ICC). In addition to the ICC certifications, the plan check engineer holds a license as a California structural engineer. As compared to other jurisdictions north of Sacramento, the City of Redding has long had a reputation of having one of the most thorough building plan-check processes intended to safeguard life, limb, and property as stated in the California Building Code.

7.7.5 Vulnerability
The City of Redding recently ran an earthquake scenario based on an expected peak-ground acceleration (PGA) of 18%g over the entire City (See Figure 11). Building Damage Ratios were estimated at 6 percent for older structures located in the immediate downtown area of the City and 3 percent for all other areas within the City. The Building Damage Ratio represents an estimate of the ratio, as a percentage, of the repair cost divided by the replacement cost. The higher damage ratio in the downtown area was chosen, since these structures are typically older and less likely to have been constructed with any seismic codedesign provisions (i.e., pre-seismic-code buildings). The total damage is estimated at $303 million for the City as a whole (see Table 7-8), which is less than 2 percent of the damage estimates from the 1994 Northridge earthquake which was $20 billion, making it one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.

Footnote ** The Seismic Hazard Assessment for The City of Redding was conducted in 1995 under the Uniform Building Codes. Redding was located in Seismic Zone 3 under the UBC. We are now using the International Building Codes. Redding is now located in Seismic Design Category D. This shift in code terminology does not have any other effect or change to the information presented in the 1995 report nor has there been any significant seismic events since the publishing of this report that would alter the outcome or findings within.

62 7.8 Hazardous Material

7.8.1 Nature
Hazardous materials (Hazmat) may include hundreds of substances that pose a significant risk to humans.

These substances may be highly toxic, reactive, corrosive, flammable, radioactive, or infectious. They are present in nearly every community in the U.S., where they may be manufactured, used, stored, transported, or disposed of. Because of their nearly ubiquitous presence, there are hundreds of Hazmat release events annually in the U.S. that contaminate air, soil, and groundwater resources, potentially triggering millions of dollars in clean-up costs, human and wildlife injuries, and occasionally human deaths (FEMA, 1997).

The City of Redding Clear Creek and Stillwater Wastewater Treatment Plants store and utilize chlorine gas to disinfect wastewater and then neutralize the chlorine with sulfur dioxide gas prior to reclaimed water discharge into the Sacramento River, in accordance with NPDES permits from the California Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. Chlorine and sulfur dioxide are both DOT Class 2.3 poison gases.

The City of Redding Foothill and Water Treatment Plants utilize chlorine gas to disinfect and treat water prior to distribution into the water system.

Hazardous material releases may occur from any of the following:
• Fixed site facilities (e.g., refineries, chemical plants, storage facilities, manufacturing, warehouses, wastewater treatment plants, swimming pools, dry cleaners, automotive sales/repair, gas stations, etc.) • Highway and rail transportation (e.g., tanker trucks, chemical trucks, railroad tankers) • Air transportation (e.g., cargo packages)
• Pipeline transportation (liquid petroleum, natural gas, other chemicals) In response to concerns over the environmental and safety hazards posed by the storage and handling of toxic chemicals in the U.S., Congress passed the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) in 1986. These concerns were triggered by the 1984 disaster in Bhopal, India, in which more than 2,000 people died or were seriously injured from the accidental release of methyl isocyanine from an American-owned Union Carbide plant. To reduce the likelihood of such a disaster in the U.S., EPCRA established specific requirements on federal, state, and local governments; Indian tribes; and industries to plan for hazardous-materials emergencies.

EPCRA's Community Right-to-Know provisions help increase the public's knowledge and access to information on chemicals at individual facilities, their uses, and releases into the environment. States and communities working with facilities can use the information to improve chemical safety and protect public health and the environment (EPA, May 2003). Under EPCRA, hazardous materials must be reported to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), even if they do not result in human exposure.

Such releases may include the following:

Packet Pg. 162 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
63 • Air emissions (e.g., pressure-relief valves, smokestacks, broken pipes, water or ground emissions with vapors).
• Discharges into bodies of water (e.g., outflows to sewers, spills on land, water runoff, and contaminated groundwater).
• Discharges onto land.
• Solid waste disposals in on-site landfills.
• Transfer of wastewater to public sewage plants.
• Transfers of waste to off-site facilities for treatment or storage.

In addition to accidental human-caused hazardous material events, natural hazards may cause the release of hazardous materials and complicate response activities. The impact of earthquakes on fixed facilities may be particularly bad due to the impairment of the physical integrity or even failure of containment facilities. The threat of any hazardous material event may be magnified due to restricted access, reduced fire suppression and spill containment, and even complete cut-off of response personnel and equipment.

In addition, the risk of terrorism involving hazardous materials is considered a major threat due to the location of hazardous-material facilities and transport routes throughout communities and the frequently limited anti-terrorism security at these facilities.

In the event of accidental releases of chlorine or sulfur dioxide gases at the wastewater and/or water treatment plants, the plant staff as well as the surrounding citizenry should be evacuated. Initial evacuation is suggested at 0.2 mile in all directions for a small release, and then expanding downwind and downhill for 2 miles for larger releases.

Due to the high level of risk posed by hazardous materials, numerous federal, state, and local agencies are involved in their regulation, including the EPA, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), FEMA, U.S. Army, and the International Maritime Organization.

Unless exempted, facilities that use, manufacture, or store hazardous materials in the U.S. fall under the regulatory requirements of EPCRA, enacted as Title III of the federal Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) 42 U.S.C. §§11001-11050 (1988)). EPCRA has four major provisions:
• Emergency Planning (Sections 301-303) is designed to help communities prepare for, and respond to, emergencies involving hazardous substances. It requires every community in the United States to be part of a comprehensive emergency response plan.
• The Governor of California has designated a State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) responsible for implementing EPCRA provisions within California. The SERC oversees Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) districts. Emergency Release Notification (Section 304) includes a list of chemicals that if spilled must be reported, including Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS). The SERC supervises and coordinates activities of each LEPC, establishes procedures for Packet Pg. 163 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
64 receiving and processing public requests for information collected under EPCRA and reviews LEPC developed local emergency response plans. Facilities with an EHS at quantities exceeding the Threshold Planning Quantities (TPQ) must notify the SERC and LEPC and provide a representative to participate in the county emergency planning process.
• Hazardous chemical storage reporting requirements (Sections 311-312) that require facilities possessing a threshold reporting quantity of a hazardous material under EPCRA (Section 311/312, 40 CFR Part 370) to submit an annual chemical inventory report (Tier II Hazardous Chemical Inventory Form) to the SERC, LEPC and local fire department.
• Toxic chemical release inventory (Section 313). Of the hundreds of hazardous materials under the EPCRA regulatory scheme, those hazardous materials that pose the greatest risk for causing catastrophic emergencies are identified as an EHS. As noted above, the presence of EHSs in quantities at or above TPQ require additional emergency planning and mitigation activities. These chemicals are identified by the US EPA in the List of Lists – Consolidated List of Chemicals Subject to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA) and Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (EPA, October 2001).

Releases of EHSs can occur during transport and from fixed facilities. Transportation related releases are generally more troublesome because they may occur anywhere, including close to human populations, critical facilities, or sensitive environmental areas. Transportation-related EHS releases are also more difficult to mitigate due to the variability of locations and distance from response resources. It should be noted that while comprehensive and readily accessible information is available on hazardous material release and facilities subject to EPCRA, there are numerous other sources of information on hazardous material facilities and incidents that are beyond the scope of this plan. A more in-depth analysis of potential hazardous material events would include the following:
• Risk Management Plan (RMP) facilities.
• Tier II Hazardous Chemical Inventory Form facilities. • Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) facilities.
• Pipelines and related facilities.
• Railroad transportation facilities.
• Explosive storage, sales, use, and manufacturing facilities. • Hazardous Materials Management Plan (HMMP) Permit and Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement (HMIS) facilities.
• Hazardous waste facilities (RCRA information and RMS databases). • National Response Center Emergency Response Notification System (ERNS).

7.8.2 History
Some of the worst hazardous material events have occurred outside the U.S., such the 1984 incident in Bhopal, India. Within the U.S., the National Response Center (NRC) reported that an average of 280 hazardous material releases and spills occurred at fixed sites annually during the period 1987-1990.

The US Department of Transportation reported an average of 6,774 hazardous material events annually during the period 1982-1991, with highways accounting for 81.4 percent, railroads 14.7 percent, and other events 6.6 percent. Additionally, highway transportation hazardous material events have caused more than 100 deaths, 2,800 injuries, and $22.4 million in damages (FEMA, 1997).

Hazmat releases are a major concern for the City of Redding and surrounding communities in Shasta County. Local records show a number of hazardous material events within the City. In the past five years, there have been seven major Hazardous Materials Incident Responses. The incidents range from two drums of unknown substance in 2004 to a 1000-gallon gasoline spill at Churn Creek Road and Dana Drive in 1999.

One significant release of chlorine gas occurred at the Clear Creek Plant during the 1970s, where the City Fire Department responded and isolated the container. Since that time, only minor releases have occurred once every few years, which were corrected immediately by the on-site maintenance staff.

In 2004, the City of Redding responded to 140 hazardous materials incidents of varying degree. While many of the incidents have been handled at the first-responder level, several required the Shasta-Cascade Hazardous Materials Response Team (SCHMRT) to assist in mitigating the hazard.

Packet Pg. 165 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan

422 - Chemical spill or leak 3 0.03%
423 - Refrigeration leak 1 0.01%
424 - Carbon monoxide incident 3 0.03%

7.8.3 Future Events
In California, the majority of hazardous materials incidents are handled prior to becoming a disaster.

Nevertheless, the City's emergency organization needs to be flexible and evolutionary in its response to a developing incident in order to accommodate both the large number of relatively routine minor releases to truly disastrous hazardous materials releases. The City is considered by most to be rural in nature and therefore, does not include large industrial facilities which house or manufacture large quantities of hazardous materials that could potentially cause a devastating release.

Comprehensive information on the probability and magnitude of hazardous material events across all types of sources (e.g., fixed facility, transport vehicle) is not available. Wide variations in the characteristics of hazardous material sources and between the materials themselves make such an evaluation very difficult.

The US Department of Transportation's Hazardous
Materials Transportation Program is one of the
most advanced probability and magnitude
estimation programs. The program collects
information on unintentional releases of hazardous
materials, including the consequences, and
analyzes them. One of the major efforts of the
program is to identify low-probability, highconsequence events (which may not be apparent from incident data) and to provide appropriate
levels of protection (DOT, September 2003).

Areas of concern in the City of Redding are the
Union Pacific Railroad and Interstate 5, which are
major interstate transportation routes that pass
through our community. In addition, State Routes
44, 273, and 299 East and West support relatively
high traffic volumes. Trains and trucks commonly
carry a variety of hazardous materials, including
gasoline and various crude-oil derivatives and other chemicals known to cause human health problems.

Union Pacific Bridge over the Sacramento River
Packet Pg. 166 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
67 The City is exposed to the effects of a major catastrophic hazardous material emergency due to the proximity of these transportation routes to densely populated areas of the City. However, when properly contained, these materials present no hazard to the community.

But in the event of an accident or derailment, such materials may be released, either in solid, liquid, or gas form. In the case of some chemicals (such as chlorine), highly toxic fumes may be carried far from the accident site. Although standard accident and hazardous materials recovery procedures are enforced by the state and followed by private transportation companies, the City of Redding is at relatively high risk because of its location along interstate, rail, and highway corridors.

Storing and handling hazardous materials always presents a potential danger for releases that would affect the wastewater treatment plant staff and the surrounding citizens. Accidents by staff or the supplier, equipment failure, vandalism, terrorism, or natural disasters such as earthquakes and catastrophic floods could initiate the uncontrolled release of chlorine or sulfur dioxide gases from the treatment plants. Due to the long history of only minor problems with these systems and the extensive staff training noted below, there is only a small chance of accidental releases that are not corrected immediately so as to affect the off-site citizenry.

Informal surveys conducted by the Shasta County Office of Emergency Services, Shasta County Environmental Health, and the Redding Fire Department have indicated the presence of the following classifications of hazardous materials: explosives, poisons, corrosives, flammable liquids, combustible liquids, cryogenics, compressed gases (flammable and nonflammable), radioactive materials, and oxidizers. Large pressurized natural gas pipelines traverse the City. Three large propane facilities are located in the City. Other small, fixed facilities have varying uses of hazardous chemicals, but in general these do not pose a significant risk to the City. Air transportation of hazardous materials involves the smallest quantity, but still poses a potential hazard.

While it is beyond the scope of this plan to evaluate the probability and magnitude of hazardous material events in the City of Redding in detail, it is possible to determine the exposure of population, buildings, and critical facilities should such an event occur. Of the facilities that were required to file an annual Tier II Material Inventory Report (under EPCRA) in Shasta County because of the presence of hazardous materials, six were identified as having Extremely Hazardous Substance (EHS). The general locations of these facilities are shown on Figure 9. The substances recorded at these facilities include common hazardous substances, such as chlorine, sulfur dioxide, anhydrous ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, ethylene oxide, large amounts of sulfuric acid, etc. EHSs pose the greatest risk for causing catastrophic emergencies. Therefore, facilities with EHSs are considered a greater threat than situations where nonEHSs are involved. The list provided for this report does not include an additional 42 facilities in the City of Redding that have quantities of sulfuric acid (an EHS) in new and used batteries, nor the sixteen City of Redding sites that have Chlorine Gas, Ammonia and/or small amounts of Sulfuric Acid.

7.8.4 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
The Redding Fire Department responds to spills, leaks, and releases of hazardous materials in the entire City service area. The goal of hazardous materials (hazmat) response is to protect life, the environment, and property from the damaging effects that can occur from the unplanned release of such materials.

Packet Pg. 167 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
68 All Redding Fire Department personnel are trained, at minimum, to the level of Hazardous Materials First Responder, which allows them to take defensive action at hazmat incidents. Additional personnel are trained to the higher levels of Hazardous Materials Technician and Hazardous Materials Specialist.

Individuals trained to these levels are able to implement offensive control measures at hazmat incidents.

Other City of Redding departments have undergone hazardous materials training and respond as needed to assist in incident mitigation.

Members of the Redding Fire Department who are trained and certified to the level of Technician and Specialist are eligible to participate on the regional Hazmat Team. The SCHMRT Team is a multiagency team based in Shasta County that serves the counties of Shasta, Tehama, Trinity, Siskiyou, Lassen, and Modoc. Members from participating agencies train together every month and can respond to emergencies involving hazardous materials, such as poisons, radioactive materials, corrosives, compressed gases, and oxidizer releases.

SCHMRT has been able to acquire additional equipment in the last year, thanks in large part to grants from the Office of Domestic Preparedness and Homeland Security Administration. Such equipment has expanded the Team's capability to handle incidents involving chemical, biological, and radioactive weapons. One such grant recently purchased a new response vehicle with an on-board field laboratory.

SCHMRT pursues cost recovery from individuals and agencies deemed responsible for causing a spill, leak, or release of hazardous materials. In the event the responsible party cannot be located, the municipality in which the incident occurred is billed for the cost of mitigating the hazard. Because the Redding Fire Department is a part of the regional hazmat team, the City of Redding does not incur those costs, which can easily exceed $10,000 per incident.

Continued involvement in SCHMRT is invaluable in our efforts to control and mitigate hazardous materials incidents. The costs of participating on the team are a small price, considering the costs associated with hiring an outside firm to respond to each incident in the City of Redding.

With regard to the treatment plants, all facilities have undergone the development of Risk Management Plans that document the preventive and mitigation measures in place, as well as Vulnerability Assessments that document any system weaknesses to vandalism and terrorism activities.

All facilities have continuous monitoring security alarms and gas-leak detection. Staff is trained to safely handle chlorine and sulfur dioxide, to maintain the equipment in a reliable manner and to direct safe procedures by suppliers and visitors. The Stillwater and Clear Creek Plants have scrubber systems that automatically initiates upon a leak detection and can neutralize up to a one-ton release of either chemical.

The City Water and Wastewater Utilities operate a fully trained and certified hazardous materials response team that is equipped to respond and correct any releases of chlorine or sulfur dioxide at any time. Callout procedures to activate this team are on file with the Redding Public Works Field Operations office, the Redding Fire Department Administration, and SHASCOM.

69 7.8.5 Vulnerability
Overall, the City of Redding faces a moderate to high risk from exposure to hazardous material incidents, as shown in Figure 9. The exposure was determined via two methods, the first of which is a one-mile buffer around the six Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS) sites, and the second of which is a one-mile buffer around selected sites on the major transportation corridors (Interstate 5; State Routes 44, 273, and 299; and the Union Pacific Railroad Line).

Within the one-mile buffer around the 21 EHS sites, exposed are: 48,209 people, 28,681 residential structures (worth $4.2 billion), 1,837 nonresidential structures (worth $2,280 million), and 269 critical facilities (worth $614.7 million). These figures are for all of the EHS sites and, therefore, overstate the exposure, since the probability of all EHS sites having an event simultaneously is very low. These facilities are predominately located within industrial- and public-zoned areas within the City. However, all 21 EHS facilities are located within a mile of residential areas.

Within a one-mile buffer around one selected site on the major transportation corridors (Interstate 5 and Cypress Avenue), exposed are: 7,356 people, 1,535 residential structures (worth $178.4 million), 653 nonresidential structures (worth $450.3 million), and 6 critical facilities (worth $90.5 million). These figures are calculated for one of the selected sites on the transportation corridor to give a representation of the potential risk in this specific area. The other sites would have similar risk and exposure if an incident were to occur. The incident magnitude is dependent on a number of factors, including: time of day, day of week, location of incident, terrain, quantity of hazardous material involved, and type of hazardous material involved.

With regard to the wastewater treatment plants, the Risk Management Plans document that a small release of 180 pounds of chlorine or sulfur dioxide gas from the Stillwater Plant would be contained within 0.1 mile and not affect the surrounding population, whereas a worst-case release of 2,000 pounds would transmit

1.3 miles and affect 2,400 people (See Figure 11).

The Risk Management Plans document that a small release of 180 pounds of chlorine or sulfur dioxide gas from the Clear Creek Plant would be contained within 0.1 mile and not affect the surrounding population, whereas a worst-case release of 2,000 pounds would transmit 3 miles and affect 9,700 people (See Figure 11).

72 7.9 Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives (CBRNE)

7.9.1 Nature
Unlike accidents or natural disasters, an act of terrorism is a manmade event designed to extort governments or communities for the purpose of bringing about political, social, and/or economic change.

The damage and disruption that may occur from such an event could be immeasurable, crippling a city, region, state, or nation’s economy with long-lasting effects. The psychological factor alone would affect the well-being and sense of security people have come to know and enjoy.

The goals and objectives of a terrorist attack are to disrupt society and affect as many lives as possible.

This can be accomplished by many means, including the deployment of weapons of mass destruction or by disrupting or damaging community and/or government infrastructure. It may also be accomplished through cyber-attacks on business and/or government computer systems.

Weapons of mass destruction (WMD) used by terrorists to accomplish their goals may include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Chemical (i.e., nerve gas or blistering agent).
• Biological (i.e., anthrax, botulism, or smallpox).
• Radiological (i.e., “dirty bomb”).
• Nuclear (i.e., thermonuclear).
• Explosives.
• Cyber-terrorism.

Of all these weapons, the easiest to obtain and use has been the conventional or improvised explosive device.

The catastrophic attacks on the World Trade Center buildings in New York City, the Pentagon, and the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City proved to the nation that there are no safe havens when considering acts of terrorism and Redding, California, is no exception. The freedom of movement and virtually unrestricted access to government officials, buildings, and critical infrastructure that are afforded to citizens and visitors presents terrorists the opportunity to deliver a devastating attack with only the crudest of devices or WMD.

Chemical
Chemical weapons have been used primarily to terrorize an unprotected civilian population and not as a weapon of war. This is because of fear of retaliation and the likelihood that the agent would contaminate the battlefield for a long period of time. Some analysts suggest that the possibility of a chemical attack would appear far more likely than either the use of nuclear or biological materials, largely due to the easy availability of many of the necessary substances needed to construct chemical weapons. Additionally, the rudimentary technical knowledge needed to build a working chemical Packet Pg. 172 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
73 device is taught in every college-level chemistry course in the world. Some chemical agents are odorless, tasteless, and are difficult to detect. They can have an immediate effect (a few seconds to a few minutes) or a delayed effect (several hours to several days).

Biological
Biological weapons are defined as any infectious agent, such as a bacteria or virus, used to produce illness or death in people, animals, or plants. This definition is often expanded to include biologically derived toxins and poisons. Biological agents can be dispersed as aerosols or airborne particles. Terrorists may use biological agents to contaminate food or water because the agents are extremely difficult to detect.

Radiological
A radioactive material is a material made up of unstable atoms which give off excess energy in the form of radiation through the process of radioactive decay.

Radiation cannot be detected by human senses. Wherever radioactive materials are used, transported, or stored there is a potential for a radiological accident to occur. Some of their most common uses include use:
• By doctors to detect and treat serious diseases.
• By educational institutions and companies for research. • By the military to power large ships and submarines.
• By companies in the manufacture of products.
• As a critical base material to help produce the commercial electrical power that is generated by a nuclear power plant.
• As one of the critical components in nuclear weapons which help deter the threat of war.

Nuclear
The possibility exists that a terrorist organization might acquire the capability of creating a small nuclear detonation. A single nuclear detonation in the United States would likely produce fallout affecting an area many times greater than that of the blast itself. There is also the possibility that a terrorist will construct a “dirty bomb” (a bomb that is used to distribute contaminated nuclear materials). It would have less of an effect than a “traditional” nuclear bomb, but the terror effect on the population would be great.

Explosive
The possibility exists that a terrorist may attack with conventional explosives, particularly in a public setting.

Innumerable incidents have occurred around the world involving car bombs, truck bombs, and bombs attached directly to terrorist individuals.

Cyber-terrorism
Cyber-terrorism is the use of computer network tools to shut down critical government infrastructures such as energy, transportation, and government operations, or to coerce or intimidate a government or civilian Packet Pg. 173 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
74 population. The premise of cyber-terrorism is that as nations and critical infrastructure become more dependent on computer networks for their operation, new vulnerabilities are created. A hostile nation or group could exploit these vulnerabilities to penetrate a poorly secured computer network and disrupt or even shut down critical public or business operations. The goal of cyber-terrorism is believed to be aimed at hurting the economy of a region or country and to amplify the effects of a traditional physical terrorist attack by causing additional confusion and panic.

7.9.2 History
Fortunately, the City of Redding has yet to experience significant incidents of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive terrorism. However, as with most midsize cities in California, Redding has its vulnerabilities. In consideration of its mild climate, special events, and attractiveness to tourists, Redding stands out for those who would commit such atrocities.

Although no significant acts of terrorism have occurred in Redding, the area has experienced acts of terrorism on a much smaller scale. Such acts include: arson, bomb threats, and hostage incidents.

Additionally, Redding has been impacted by recent computer viruses and worms.

7.9.3 Future Events
Chemical
A terrorist would not have to build a complicated chemical release device. During favorable weather conditions, an already existing chemical plant could be sabotaged or bombed, releasing a toxic cloud to drift into a populated area. The result could be just as dangerous as having placed a smaller chemical device in a more confined space. This type of incident would cause the maximum amount of fear, trepidation, and potential panic among the civilian population, thus achieving a major terrorist objective.

Biological
The agents are cheap, easy to make, and simple to conceal. Even small amounts, if effectively deployed, could cause massive injuries and overwhelm emergency rooms. The production of biological weapons can be carried out virtually anywhere - in simple laboratories, on a farm, or even in a home. However, experts say it remains very difficult to transform a deadly virus or bacterium into a weapon that can be effectively dispersed. A bomb carrying a biological agent would likely destroy the germ as it explodes.

Dispersing the agents with aerosols is challenging because biomaterials are often wet and can clog sprayers. Most agree that, while a biological attack could be devastating in theory, in reality the logistical challenges of developing effective agents and then dispersing them make it less likely a terrorist could carry out a successful widespread assault.

Radiological/Nuclear
Under extreme circumstances an accident or intentional explosion involving radiological materials can cause very serious problems. Consequences may include death, severe health risks to the public, damage to the environment, and extraordinary loss of, or damage to, property.

Packet Pg. 174 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
75 Explosive
While generally more limited in the extent of the damage inflicted, explosive terrorist attacks may have consequences, including death and damage to property.

Cyber-terrorism
Recent incidents illustrate the area’s vulnerability to cyber-terrorism.

Effects
• On people and housing - Depending on levels of contamination and exposure, effects could range from minimal to devastating.
• On commercial and industrial structures - Depending on levels of contamination and exposure, effects could range from minimal to devastating.
• On infrastructure - Nuclear, radiological, and cyber-terrorism can have profound effects on infrastructure.
• On agriculture - Depending on levels of contamination and exposure, effects could range from minimal to devastating.

Without a history of significant acts of terrorism, or threats thereof, having taken place in the City of Redding, there is virtually no data available in which to predict a specific act that may occur. However, when considering the increase of terrorist attacks that have occurred worldwide and throughout the nation, it is only prudent to plan and prepare for when such an event occurs in Redding, and where the City’s vulnerabilities lie.

More than ever before, plans to mitigate possible terrorist attacks are taken into consideration during the planning phases of special events taking place throughout the city each year. By monitoring intelligence bulletins from agencies that include the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, as well as from local allied agencies, city officials are now in a position to greatly decrease the chances of a terrorist attack and/or mitigate the effects of an attack if one were to occur. Additional measures can be found under the section, Present and Future Mitigation Efforts.

7.9.4 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
Over the past few years, the Redding Police Department (RPD), in concert with other City departments and allied agencies, have taken steps in which to combat the threat of a terrorist attack. These steps include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Redding Police Officers are equipped with .223 caliber rifles, ballistic helmets, ballistic plate carriers and gas masks. They also receive training in response tactics and identification of potential terrorist targets.
• As a Regional asset, RPD maintains an armored Special Response Vehicle, which allows ballistic protection for officers during potential terrorist attacks, hostage situations and citizen or officer Packet Pg. 175 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
76 rescues. Funding has also been secured for the purchase of a second, updated armored vehicle that is scheduled to arrive in December of 2020.
• Patrol vehicles utilized by the Redding Police Department have Mobile Data Computers (MDCs) that contain software specific to our local schools to include site survey information. Training sessions have been conducted with school officials to coordinate emergency response to critical incidents at school facilities.
• Over the last several years, the Redding Police Department has purchased dual-band portable radios for officers. These radios provide enhanced inter-operability in communications with allied agencies in our region. The ability to have direct communications with allied law enforcement and fire agencies drastically improves our efficiency in response and handling of critical incidents. • RPD keeps abreast of current terrorism activities through information bulletins provided by the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the California Anti-Terrorist Information Center (CATIC). All bulletins received are reviewed and disseminated accordingly. • RPD has multiple officers assigned as Terrorism Liaison Officers (TLOs). The TLOs document suspicious events and send the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) to the Sacramento Regional Threat Assessment Center (SAC RTAC). This fusion center consists of multiple local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.
• The Redding Police Department is very active in the Shasta County Bomb Team and contributes three officers and a program manager. Bomb technicians from the Shasta County Sheriff’s Department and RPD train together monthly and handle all calls for service involving explosives and suspicious devices. Technicians are highly trained in all facets of explosives and post blast investigations.
• RPD has worked in unison with the Shasta County Sheriff’s Department on countywide disaster drills. Both agencies have identified potential terrorist targets in our region. • RPD representatives meet quarterly with state and local Office of Emergency Services (OES) representatives on the Mutual Aid Region Advisory Committee to discuss recent disasters and ways in which to mitigate future events.
• Code Red Emergency Alerts - Shasta County residents can sign up for emergency alerts with Code Red, an emergency alert notification system administered by Shascom911.

79 7.10 Pandemic/Epidemic

7.10.1 Nature
An epidemic is an outbreak of a contractible disease that spreads at a rapid rate through a human population. A pandemic is an epidemic whose spread is global. Pandemics are characterized by the emergence of a new infectious disease that causes serious illness and spreads easily among humans.

Since pandemics/epidemic involves new diseases, there are often no vaccines and little natural immunity to thwart the spread of the epidemic.

Pandemics spread quickly through communities, nationally, or even globally. Generally, the elderly, young children, and people with pre-existing illnesses are most vulnerable to a pandemic. However, some pandemics such as the H1N1 influenza outbreak of 2009 and the influenza outbreak of 1918-1919 have defied this pattern by primarily affecting otherwise healthy individuals 1 .

7.10.2 Effects of Pandemic/Epidemic
In 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) revised its phase descriptions for its pandemic influenza preparedness and response alert system. The grouping and description of pandemic phases have been revised to make them easier to understand, more precise, and based upon observable phenomena.

Phases 1-3 correlate with preparedness, including capacity development and response planning activities, while Phases 4-6 clearly signal the need for response and mitigation efforts. Furthermore, periods after the first pandemic wave are elaborated to facilitate post pandemic recovery activities. The phases are shown in the table below:

World Health Organization Pandemic Alert System Phases
Phase 1 No viruses circulating among animals have been reported to cause infections in humans.

Phase 2
An animal influenza virus circulating among domesticated or wild animals is known to have caused infection in humans, and is therefore considered a potential pandemic threat.

Phase 3
An animal or human-animal influenza virus has caused sporadic cases or small clusters of disease in people, but has not resulted in human-to-human transmission sufficient to sustain community-level outbreaks. Limited human-to-human transmission may occur under some circumstances, for example, when there is close contact between an infected person and an unprotected caregiver. However, limited transmission under such restricted circumstances does not indicate that the virus has gained the level of transmissibility among humans necessary to cause a pandemic.

Phase 4
Verified human-to-human transmission of an animal or human-animal influenza virus able to cause “community-level outbreaks.” The ability to cause sustained disease outbreaks in a community marks a significant upwards shift in the risk for a pandemic.

Phase 5
Human-to-human spread of the virus into at least two countries in one WHO region. While most countries will not be affected at this stage, the declaration of Phase 5 is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to finalize the organization, communication and implementation of the planned mitigation measures in short. 1 Tara Smith, “Swine flu and deaths in healthy adults-cytokine storm?” Aetiology April 26, 2009, http://scienceglogs.com/aetiology/2009/04/swine_flu_and_deaths_in_health.php.

Packet Pg. 179 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
80 World Health Organization Pandemic Alert System Phases Phase 6
This pandemic phase is characterized by community level outbreaks in at least one other country in a different WHO region in addition to the criteria defined in Phase 5. Designation of this phase will indicate that a global pandemic is under way.

Post-Peak
Period
During this period, pandemic disease levels in most countries with adequate surveillance will have dropped below peak observed levels. The post-peak period signifies that pandemic activity appears to be decreasing; however, it is uncertain if additional waves will occur and countries will need to be prepared for a second wave. Previous pandemics have been characterized by waves of activity spread over months. Once the level of disease activity drops, a critical communications task will be to balance this information with the possibility of another wave. Pandemic waves can be separated by months and an immediate “at-ease” signal may be premature.

Influenza disease activity will have returned to levels normally seen for seasonal influenza. It is expected that the pandemic virus will behave as a seasonal influenza A virus. At this stage, it is important to maintain surveillance and update pandemic preparedness and response plans accordingly. An intensive phase of recovery and evaluation may be required.

7.10.3 History
Many types of diseases can result in a pandemic. There have been many epidemics throughout history, such as the Black Death which peaked in Europe between 1348 and 1350. In the last hundred years, significant pandemics include the Spanish flu in 1918, killing an estimated 50 million people worldwide and the 2002 to 2003 SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) pandemic.

Most recently in 2020, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has killed an estimated 1.3 million in 217 countries worldwide. Directives to practice social distancing and mandated facial coverings have slowed the spread. Development of an effective, safe vaccine is currently underway.

7.10.4 Future Events
Pandemic
The immediate future will revolve around COVID-19 and future strains. The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes. If COVID-19 is spreading in your community, stay safe by taking some simple precautions, such as physical distancing, wearing a mask, keeping rooms well ventilated, avoiding crowds, cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue. 2 The avian flu, first identified in Vietnam in 2004, is also specifically referred to as the H5N1 virus strain.

Since late 2003, outbreaks from this pathogenic flu virus have occurred in East Asia. In addition, deaths from this virus have occurred Thailand, China, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

The H1N1 influenza A Strain, also referred to as the swine flu, began spreading in Mexico in April 2009.

Just a few months later in June of 2009, this type of flu was declared a pandemic by the WHO. As most 2 Jennifer Bell, “The History and Future of Pandemics” Health Training Guide February 21, 2012, http://www.healthtrainingguide.com/the-history-and-future-of-pandemics/ Packet Pg. 180 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
81 of the deaths and illness occurred primarily in young people, this virus does not follow the pattern seen in most other flu viruses. Pregnant women, young children, and people with chronic lung or other health issues are most likely to suffer complications.

Epidemic
The most likely epidemic to occur in the City of Redding is the West Nile virus (WNV). The WNV is a mosquito-borne disease that was originally found in Africa. In 1999, it was detected in the eastern United States; since then, the virus has spread throughout the United States and is well-established in most states, including California.

According to the Center of Disease Control, more than 30,000 people in the United States have been reported as getting sick with WNV since 1999. Infected mosquitoes spread WNV that can cause serious, life-altering disease. Most often, WNV is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes are WNV carriers (“vectors”) that become infected when they feed on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can then spread WNV to humans and other animals when they bite.

According to the California Department of Public Health, 34 counties have been affected by the WNV as of August 31, 2012. The 3,142 reported cases include animal, mosquito samples, and human cases. Of these reported cases, approximately 2 percent (69) are human cases; 3 of which were fatalities.

7.10.5 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is the lead pandemic/epidemic planning agency in California. It coordinates the public health response to a pandemic/epidemic with local health departments, the healthcare community, the federal government, and other key partners. In a pandemic/epidemic incident, the CDPH Pandemic Preparedness Plan will be implemented in collaboration with the Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA), California Health and Human Services Agency, Cal EMA, local health departments, and tribal entities. While primarily a preparedness and response plan, the plan also identifies potential mitigation actions that can be taken to reduce the impacts of the pandemic/epidemic, including:
• Ensure rapid and early detection of a novel virus.
• Confirm identity or type of a novel virus by laboratory identification. • Identify the exposure source of the outbreak and the population at risk. • Control and contain the spread of influenza through pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceutical community containment strategies, including isolation, quarantine, infection control, antiviral treatment and prophylaxis, and, if available, vaccination. • Manage and disseminate accurate information for scientific, resource, and policy decisions in public health and healthcare delivery settings.

7.10.6 Vulnerability
The City of Redding faces a low probability of impact from a pandemic/epidemic incident.

83 7.11 Aviation Disaster

7.11.1 Nature
Redding Municipal Airport experiences thousands of landings and takeoffs each year. Various user groups utilize the public airport, such as private, commercial, and governmental agencies, including U. S. Forest Service and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire). During the summer months, the use of the airport becomes somewhat busier due to the fire-suppression flights offered to the northwest region by the U. S. Forest Service and Cal Fire.

7.11.2 History
The airport has very few crashes and maintains airport approaches in accordance with FAA Regulations.

7.11.3 Mitigation Efforts and Vulnerability
The airport's most probable scenario for an incident would likely occur during the hot summer months, during a significant wildfire with strong gusty winds. Using this scenario, we created the most likely incident: a Lockheed P2V or P-3 Orion loaded with fire retardant and fuel crashes soon after departure at either end of Runway 16-34 or near Airport Road. In this impact area, there are one residential and two commercial occupancies. The values of the properties total approximately $620,000, and life loss would be estimated at three persons on the ground and unknown number of persons on board the aircraft. The Airport Emergency Plan - 2014 (revised 12/1/2017) has been created and maintained by the Airport Managers to mitigate and respond to any disaster.

7.11.4 Mitigations*
Goal 15: Reduce deaths, injuries, structural damages, and losses from aviation disasters.

Objective 15.A: Implement the adopted Airport Emergency Plan which is utilized to mitigate and respond to an aviation disaster.

Action 15.A.1: Continue to update the Airport Emergency Plan.

Action 15.A.2: Ensure that the Airport Emergency Plan complies with FAA regulations.

84 7.12 Dam Overflow or Failure

7.12.1 Nature
Shasta Dam, on the Sacramento River just above Redding, serves to control floodwaters and store winter runoff for irrigation in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, maintain navigable flows, provide flows for the conservation fisheries in the Sacramento River and its downstream tributaries, provide water for municipal and water district use, protect the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta from saltwater intrusion, and generate hydroelectric power. In addition, Shasta Lake (behind Shasta Dam) provides boating and recreation opportunities that bring millions of dollars to the Redding area annually.

Measured in mass, Shasta Dam is the second largest dam in the United States (behind Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River in Washington State). The dam is 602 feet high, with a crest length of 3,460 feet. It is 883 feet thick at the bottom and 30 feet thick at the top. Shasta Dam is a curved concrete gravitytype dam with 6.5 million cubic yards of concrete weighing 15 million tons. Construction of the dam started in 1938 and was completed in 1945. The spillway is 487 feet long, creating the largest man-made waterfall in the world. The spillway is 375 feet wide with three drum-gates. Each drum-gate is 110 feet wide, 28 feet tall, and weighs 500 tons. There are 18 outlets on the face of the dam, each 8.5 feet in diameter, with a maximum overall capacity of 186,000 cubic feet per second.

Prior to the construction of Shasta Dam, floods frequently ravaged the Sacramento Valley, including the State Capital. It is estimated that Shasta Dam has prevented over 5 billion dollars in flood damages. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation uses flood control procedures and regulations prescribed by the Corps of Engineers for operations per agreements between the two entities.

The City of Redding is the first incorporated city downstream of Shasta Dam through which the Sacramento River flows. As such, the City would be directly affected by a dam overflow or failure. Although these are two different types of events, the results are the same - uncontrolled releases from Shasta Dam.

Dam Overflow
Although it is highly unlikely, a dam overflow is more likely than a dam failure. A dam overflow would be characterized by an “overtopping” of the dam. The design of the structure includes three large spillway gates to minimize the possibility of a true overtopping of the dam. During an intense and prolonged storm period that might bring water levels near the top of the dam, these spillway gates would be lowered allowing water to be discharged down the spillway. Controlling, or funneling, the discharge down the spillway prevents structural erosion along the base and sides of the dam, protects the turbine power generation plant at the base of the dam, and allows control of the release in cubic feet per second.

Dam Failure
A dam failure is less likely than a dam overflow. A dam failure would be characterized by a structural breach of the dam. Flooding and overtopping, earthquakes, release blockages, landslides, lack of maintenance, improper operation, poor construction, vandalism, or terrorism typify dam failures. California has had about 45 failures of nonfederal dams. These failures occurred for a variety of reasons, the most common being overtopping of earthen dams. Some of the other reasons include specific shortcomings in Packet Pg. 184 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
85 the dams themselves or inadequate assessment of the surrounding geomorphologic characteristics.

Shasta Dam is a federal dam, one of the largest concrete dams in the world, and secured firmly on bedrock.

7.12.2 Effects of Dam Overflow or Failure
Uncontrolled releases from the dam, although very unlikely, would devastate the entire northern Central Valley. The Sacramento River and its tributaries would overtop banks and levees. Massive flooding in the lowlands along the river would occur and Interstate 5, the main west coast transportation artery, would be affected by closure and possible structural damage.

Other effects of large-scale flooding downstream include: loss of life, limited potable water supplies, potential for spread of disease from the release of untreated sewage, structural damage to buildings, probable loss of electricity and landline communications, crop damage and loss of agricultural lands, loss of livestock, emergency response efforts hampered by flooded transportation corridors, and the inevitable clean-up of silt, mudflows, erosion, and debris.

In the event of a dam failure, large-scale flooding could occur repeatedly until the replacement of the dam is complete. As stated before, prior to the completion of Shasta Dam, devastating floods were a regular occurrence in the Sacramento River valley.

7.12.3 History
Dam Overflow
Shasta Dam has never overflowed in its 76-year history. In 1977, and again in 1998, prolonged warm spring rainfalls in the watershed above Shasta Dam raised the lake levels as much as 10 feet per day for more than one week. This early snowmelt was followed by intense storms that dropped record precipitation, bringing lake levels to within 10 feet of the top. In 1998, the flows were increased to 80,000 cfs out of the dam, but inflow to the lake was steady at more than 225,000 cfs. The storms subsided as the lake neared 4 feet from the top of the dam and the Bureau of Reclamation assured everyone that the dam was never in danger of overtopping. The next day officials at the dam announced that for only the second time in the dam's history, the massive drum-gates would all be lowered and water would come over the entire spillway in an effort to draw the lake back down to comfortable levels. The spillway gates remained open for several days, as shown in the picture below, releasing 78,000 cfs. In February of 2017, the Shasta Dam drum gates were opened for a third time. After an exceptionally wet winter, the 3 gates were opened one at a time as a test in order to ensure they were working properly.

Dam Failure
Although there is a history of 45 dam failures within the State of California, most of the failures were earthen dams. Of the concrete dams that failed, all were of the “thin-arch” design. Shasta Dam is a federally controlled and inspected dam and is considered a “thick arch.” Seismic activity is monitored, and tunnels throughout the dam itself allow inspectors to monitor for cracks and seepage. The dam is built on bedrock and is geomorphologically sound. The probability of a dam failure is extremely low.

Packet Pg. 185 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
86 7.12.4 Future Events
There is an extremely low likelihood of a dam overflow or a dam failure. Record rainfall events drew lake levels near the top thrice in the last two decades, but both events were sidestepped using modern weather forecasting and safe release levels from the dam. Following the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, Shasta Dam was closed to traffic across the dam for security reasons, thus minimizing a terrorist threat.

The dam has since re-opened to through traffic by permit but maintains a policy of “no parking or stopping” on the dam.

7.12.5 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
The City of Redding has developed Inundation
Maps showing the flood-prone areas should a
catastrophic failure or a dam overflow occur. This
map shows projected floodplain for flows of
100,000 cfs and 310,000 cfs, as delineated from
water surface profiles generated by the Army
Corps of Engineers, 1942. An EOC drill
simulated uncontrolled releases of 100,000 cfs as
part of an exercise. A map of the 100-year
floodplain for the Sacramento River showing
these inundation areas is included as Figure 7.

7.12.6 Vulnerability
Although it is highly unlikely, the most probable scenario would be a dam overflow, not a dam failure. In the event that prolonged periods of high-intensity rain, typically in mid to late spring, in the watersheds above Shasta Dam, the inflows to the lake could exceed 225,000 cfs for extended periods of time. If the lake levels were near capacity and discharges from the dam at 80,000 cfs were unable to draw the lake down enough to prevent an overtopping, the Bureau of Reclamation would likely be forced to open the spillway gates and allow higher flows. There is no precedence for this, but it is likely that the Bureau would give at least 12-hours' notice of the impending rise in river flows. The City of Redding has run an EOC drill simulating an uncontrolled release at 100,000 cfs with 12-hours' notice for evacuation of people and livestock from the inundation area. The affected area covers 3,000 acres and would displace some 1,987 people. Damages estimates are $131.2 million. See Figure 8 for 100-year-flood scenario.

Goal 16: Reduce the possibility of property damage and loss of life due to flooding from a dam overflow or failure.

88 7.13 Volcanic

7.13.1 Nature
Volcano activity in this region is a rare occurrence;
however, the City of Redding is flanked on two sides by large mountains that are considered volcanic in nature.

The two mountains, Mount Shasta, located
approximately 56 miles to the north, and Lassen Peak,
located approximately 46 miles to the east of Redding,
are considered two of the potentially active volcanoes
in the Cascade Range. The Cascade Range, a chain
of volcanic cones, extends through Washington and
Oregon into California. The Cascade Range is
transected by deep canyons of the Pit River. The river
flows through the range between Mount Shasta and
Lassen Peak, after winding across interior Modoc
Plateau on its way to the Sacramento River.

The largest and
highest volcano in
the southern Cascades, Mount Shasta, is a compound stratovolcano composed of overlapping cones centered around at least four main vents. -- Miller, 1980; 1989
Lassen Peak marks the southern end of the Cascade Range and is the most recently active volcano in northern California. Lassen Peak is a dacite plug which
formed about 11,000
years ago after the
collapse of nearby
Brokeoff Mountain,
once a volcano the
size of Mount Shasta
about 450,000 years
ago. -- Kilbourne and

89 7.13.2 Effects of Volcano Activity
Mount Shasta is within Siskiyou County and poses the greatest volcanic risk to our neighbors within Shasta County; however, Mt. Shasta Volcanic activity would only impact some residents or properties within the northern portions of the City of Redding with moderate ash-fall. The extent of impacts from volcanic activity has been discussed in the Shasta County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. More specifically, the County’s plan has divided the areas subject to risk from future eruptions of Mount Shasta into zones that delineate the estimated degree of risk from each type of eruptive phenomenon.

7.13.3 History
Shastina, west of the cluster of other central vents, was formed mainly between 9,700 and 9,400 years; the Hotlum cone, which forms the summit and the north and northwest slopes of Mount Shasta, may overlap Shastina in age, but most of the Hotlum cone is probably younger. Mount Shasta has continued to erupt at least once every 600-800 years for the past 10,000 years. Its most recent eruption probably was in 1786. Evidence for this eruption, recorded from sea by the explorer La Perouse, is somewhat ambiguous, but his description could only have referred to Mount Shasta (this description has been the subject of debate). A small craterlike depression in the summit dome, containing several small groups of fumaroles and an acidic hot spring, might have formed during that eruption; lithic ash preserved on the slopes of the volcano and widely to the east yields charcoal dates of about 200 years. -- Christiansen, 1990, IN: Wood and Kienle
Three episodes of volcanism have occurred at the Lassen volcanic center in the past 1,100 years. These are the complex eruption at Chaos Crags, the eruptions at Cinder Cone, and the summit eruptions of Lassen Peak in 1914-1917. -- Clynne, 1990, IN: Wood
and Kienle
The most recent eruptive activity occurred at Lassen
Peak in 1914-1917 A.D. This eruptive episode began
on May 30, 1914, when a small phreatic eruption
occurred at a new vent near the summit of the peak.

More than 150 explosions of various sizes occurred
during the following year. By mid-May 1915, the
eruption changed in character; lava appeared in the
summit crater and subsequently flowed about 100
meters over the west and probably over the east crater
walls. Disruption of the sticky lava on the upper east
side of Lassen Peak on May 19 resulted in an
avalanche of hot rock onto a snowfield. A lahar was
generated that reached more than 18 kilometers down
Lost Creek. On May 22, an explosive eruption
produced a pyroclastic flow that devastated an area as
far as 6 kilometers northeast of the summit. The
eruption also generated lahars that traveled more than
20 kilometers down Lost Creek and floods that went
down Hat Creek. A vertical eruption column resulting
Packet Pg. 189 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
90 from the pyroclastic eruption rose to an altitude of more than 9 kilometers above the vent and deposited a lobe of pumiceous tephra that can be traced as far as 30 kilometers to the east-northeast. The fall of fine ash was reported as far away as Elko Nevada, more than 500 kilometers east of Lassen Peak. Intermittent eruptions of variable intensity continued until about the middle of 1917. -- Hoblitt, et.al., 1987

7.13.4 Future Events
According to the 1995 Woodward-Clyde study commissioned by the City of Redding, the potential for impact from either Mount Shasta or Lassen Peak eruptions are minimal. Due to the upper wind currents and geographical locations, ash from either of these two mountains will not likely impact Redding. It is noted in this study that debris flows from a Mount Shasta eruption would follow river valleys such as those occupied by the Sacramento River, Squaw Valley River, and the McCloud River to the south and the Shasta River to the north. This debris flow hazard zone terminates where the tributaries enter Lake Shasta and would be unlikely to overflow Shasta Dam. Redding lies outside the flowage hazard zones associated with Mount Shasta, and the City is not likely to be threatened by future eruptions, according to the 1995 study.

7.13.5 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
Due to the low probability of a catastrophic eruption from either of these two mountains impacting the City of Redding, it is our recommendation to monitor the situations and develop a plan when and if such events would occur.

7.13.6 Vulnerability
Populations living near volcanoes are most vulnerable to volcanic eruptions and lava flows, although volcanic ash can travel and affect populations many miles away. Residents near volcanoes should learn about the community warning systems and emergency plans; be prepared for the hazards that can accompany volcanoes, which includes mudflows and flash floods, landslides and rockfall, earthquakes, as fall and acid rain. Residents should make evacuation plans and if living in a known volcanic hazard area, plan a route out and have a backup route in mind. Residents should develop an emergency communication plan. In case family members are separated from one another during a volcanic eruption (a real possibility during the day when adults are at work and children are at school), have a plan for getting back together.

Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the “family contact,” because after a disaster, it’s often easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone knows the name, address, and phone number of the contact person.

The City of Redding faces a low probability of impact from eruptions occurring at either Mount Shasta or Lassen Peak.

92 7.14 Mass Casualty

7.14.1 Nature
Many of the hazards in this City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan have the potential to produce mass casualties. Each hazard is unique in how mass casualties may occur and are addressed. In most disasters, deaths and injuries are just one of the effects of the hazard, while in a mass casualty accident deaths and injuries are the hazard. In a tornado or flood, for example, besides dealing with deaths and injuries, one has the larger task of dealing with replacing or repairing what was damaged; feeding, clothing, and sheltering disaster victims; cleaning up the debris, etc. Mass casualty accidents are just the opposite. The main emphasis has to be response to the large numbers of deaths and injuries.

Secondary emphasis will be on the other problems and needs. Mass casualty accidents are a very special variety of hazard.

Unfortunately, mass casualty incidents are increasing in frequency throughout the United States. The most common types of MCIs are generally caused by terrorism, mass-transportation accidents, fires or natural disasters. For planning purposes, we will define mass casualty accidents as: "An active shooter incident."

7.14.2 History
The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) defines an active shooter as one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area. The FBI statistics for 2019 indicate the following:
• 28 incidents in 16 states, 5 in California
• 247 casualties (excluding the shooters) 97 killed 150 wounded • 2 Law Enforcement Officers were killed and 15 were wounded • Law Enforcement engaged the shooters in 11 incidents
• 30 shooters – 29 males and 1 female
• 4 shooters wore body armor
• 5 shooters committed suicide
• shooters were killed by police
• 1 shooter was killed by a citizen
• 15 shooters were apprehended by Law Enforcement
The active shooter incidents in 2019 were broken down numerically into the following locations:
• Commerce 12
• Education 3
• Government 4
• Open Space 5
• House of Worship 2
• Health Care 2

93 7.14.3 Future Events
The City of Redding has been fortunate to avoid an active shooter event; however, there have been several active shooter incidents throughout Northern California in the last several years. In light of the FBI statistics, it’s clear that Redding is at the same risk of having an active shooter event as any other similar sized city in the nation.

7.14.4 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
The City's Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) addresses the City's field planned response to mass casualty incidents. The EOP is designed to be consistent with the California-mandated Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and federal plan requirements. Within the EOP is an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Guidebook which includes a checklist for mass casualty incidents.

Additionally, the Sierra Sacramento Valley Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Agency's Multiple Patient/Casualty Incidents Plan, updated September 2017, describe the procedures necessary to ensure an effective and coordinated response to an incident involving mass casualties in the Redding City area. This plan should be implemented whenever a mass casualty incident develops which requires resources beyond the normal day-to-day operations, mutual aid or which may overwhelm an individual department, service, hospital or community. This plan has been endorsed by the ten counties the S-SV serves (Placer,Yuba, Yolo, Nevada, Sutter, Butte, Colusa, Shasta, Tehama, and Siskiyou).

The Redding Police Department has multiple officers trained as instructors in active shooter response tactics.

The instructors provide regular training to all Redding Police Officers in the use of these tactics. Officers carry specialized equipment on a daily basis to deal with any such incident. A regional armored rescue vehicle is also maintained by the Redding Police Department and is available at all times. A second armored vehicle is in the process of being purchased. Shasta County allied law enforcement agencies along with Fire and Medical personnel are also in the planning stages of a large countywide active shooter drill. Inter-agency training and communication is vital to increase efficiency in managing an active shooter event.

Redding Police Officers are also trained in basic first-aid and receive additional training in the use of tourniquets and gunshot wound trauma care. Tourniquets and additional first-aid equipment are carried by all officers on patrol.

The Redding Police Department also has four full-time School Resource Officers (SROs), who provide police services and security for numerous elementary schools, middle schools, high schools and Shasta College.

Having police officers on-site, networking with school administrators, teachers and students, helps to mitigate risks and prevent incidents before they occur. The relationships developed by SROs are invaluable when it comes to intelligence gathering regarding potential threats. Research indicates many active shooters make verbal threats in person and/or on social media sites prior to carrying out their violent plans. SROs are oftentimes made aware of these types of threats long before any violent acts occur; this intelligence allows SROs to be proactive and intervene.

Officers from the Redding Police Department have provided training to local government entities, schools, businesses and places of worship to increase awareness and attempt to prevent violent acts through knowledge.

94 7.14.5 Vulnerability
Mass casualty accidents occur with little or no warning. They involve a large number of people and require special types of equipment and emergency medical personnel. Unlike traditional hazard assessment, an active shooter vulnerability assessment looks at a multiple of angles, resources, systems, coordination and mitigation through a structured matrix platform specific to an active shooter incident.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI’s) 2018 Active Shooter Incidents in the U.S. Report, the FBI designated 27 shootings as active shooter incidents, 4 of which occurred in California. The FBI defines an active shooter as one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area. The FBI expands this definition to include more than one individual in an incident and omits the word confined as the term excludes incidents that occurred outside buildings. Implicit in this definition is the shooter’s use of one or more firearms. The active aspect of the definition inherently implies that both law enforcement personnel and citizens have the potential to affect the outcome of the event based upon their responses to the situation.

The 27 incidents resulted in 213 casualties (85 people killed and 128 people wounded, excluding the shooters). The highest number of casualties (17 killed and 17 wounded) occurred at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The second highest number of casualties (12 killed and 16 wounded) occurred at the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, California.

Law enforcement suffered casualties in five of the nine incidents where they engaged the shooter to end the threat. In five incidents, citizens confronted the shooter. In three incidents, unarmed citizens confronted the shooter, thereby ending the shooting. In two incidents, armed citizens possessing valid firearms permits exchange gunfire with the shooter.

The shooter were predominately males; 23 shooters were male; 3 shooters were female and the gender of one shooter is unknown. Of these 27 incidents, 26 shooters acted alone and one shooter may have acted alone. The ages of the shooters ranged in age from 13 years to 64 years.

Law enforcement was able to apprehend 11 shooters; 6 of which were at the scene and 5 at another location.

Two of the 11 shooters initially fled the scene after being confronted by citizens and one was restrained by a citizen.

Law enforcement killed 5 shooters and 1 shooter was killed by citizens possessing valid firearms permits at the scene.

Of the 27 shooters, 10 shooters committed suicide; four at the scene before law enforcement arrived, three at the scene after law enforcement arrived, and three at another location. After being confronted by citizens, one shooter committed suicide.

One shooter is at large.

The location of where these 27 incidents occurred varies from education environments, business environments, open space locations, health care facilities, government property to a house of worship.

In these incidents, as in the past years, citizens and law enforcement were faced with split-second life-anddeath decision.

7.15 Inventory Assets
An inventory of assets is a step in the risk assessment process. This is the identification of assets that may be affected by hazard events. The inventory of assets is divided into population, buildings, and critical facilities and infrastructure. The detailed information on these identified assets has been provided in Section 6, Community Description. The information was from various sources, including the US Census Bureau and the Red Cross.
* All mitigations are aspirational in nature and their accomplishment is subject to the availability of funding, adequate staffing with persons having the necessary skill and expertise to accomplish all such mitigations and the prioritization of community goals and objectives by the City Council.

Packet Pg. 195 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
96 8.0 MITIGATION STRATEGY
This section describes the City’s strategy to utilize our resources to achieve our goals of reducing losses from future hazard events. This strategy identifies who is responsible for which actions, what funding mechanisms (e.g., grant funds, capital budget, or in-kind donations) and resources are available or will be pursued, and when the actions are to be completed.

8.1 DMA 2000 Requirements
The DMA 2000 requirement for planning a hazard mitigation strategy is shown in Table 8-1.

TABLE 8-1
DMA 2000 Requirements – Mitigation Strategy

REQUIREMENT
§201.6(c)(3)
The plan shall include a mitigation strategy that provides the jurisdiction’s blueprint for reducing the potential losses identified in the risk assessment, based on existing authorities, policies, programs and resources, and its ability to expand on and improve these existing tools.

EXPLANATION
The community’s hazard reduction goals, as reflected in the plan, along with their corresponding objectives, guide the development and implementation of mitigation measures.

This section should describe what these goals are and how they were developed. The goals could be developed early in the planning process and refined based on the risk assessment findings, or developed entirely after the risk assessment is completed. They should also be compatible with the goals of the community as expressed in other community plan documents (such as the General Plan).

Although the Interim Federal Regulations language does not require a description of objectives, communities are highly encouraged to include a description of the objectives developed to achieve the goals so that reviewers understand the connection between goals, objectives, and activities.

The goals and objectives should:
• Be based on the findings of the local and State risk assessments; and • Represent a long-term vision for hazard reduction or enhancement of mitigation capabilities.

8.1.1 Development Mitigation Goals and Objectives
Based on the identified hazards that might affect the city of Redding, the goals and objectives have been updated accordingly to include information on the hazards added to this 2014 Plan update: CBRNE, Mass Casualty, and Pandemic/Epidemic. There has not been any development since the plan was previously adopted that impacts the City’s overall vulnerability, therefore the City validates the previously adopted goals and objectives. Section 7 of the plan profile of the major hazards, assess the risk of such hazards, describe the City’s vulnerability, and estimate potential losses from the hazards. Based on the risk assessment, the HMPT developed mitigation goals and objections. The goals and objectives represent our City’s efforts to reduce the potential losses identified in Section 7. The mitigation goals are long-term policy statements and global visions that support the mitigation strategy. These goals have been developed to reduce or avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the identified hazard. The mitigation objectives define measurable steps to achieve the goals. The goals and objectives are consistent or are complementary to our existing policies, programs, and resources.

Packet Pg. 196 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
97 8.1.2 Mitigation Actions and Priorities
Mitigation actions are intended to eliminate or lessen the impact of a hazard. Actions are a means of carrying out the objectives. The city must also have the legal, administrative, fiscal and technical capacities to perform each action. The process of analyzing the capacity of a jurisdiction is called the capabilities assessment which has been prepared and provided in Section 8.2.

In this 2014 update, the Capability Assessment remains unchanged. Based on the Capability Assessment, the project team reviewed the mitigation actions and added realistic actions where applicable.

Actions/projects from the 2005 Plan that have been completed are listed in Table 8-9. Additionally, new actions were developed for the new goals and objectives that were added to the Plan. The mitigation actions were then identified and prioritized with the highest to lowest priorities. Table 8-8 summarizes the implementation of the identified mitigation actions and projects that are ongoing and new which are being considered by elected officials, staff, and the community, as resources permit, to reduce the effects of each hazard. The table lists each action and indicates a responsible agency or department shows a priority rating, establishes a time line for completion, shows potential funding sources and other necessary resources. The priorities were based on a review by the HMP Team, according to their greatest cost benefit ratio, their expected present value, and their internal rate of return. The priority of the ongoing/existing mitigation actions did not change.

8.2 Capability Assessment
Although not required by DMA 2000, a highly recommended component of the Mitigation Strategy is a local capability assessment. A capability assessment has two components: an inventory of an agency’s mission, programs, and policies; and an analysis of its capacity to carry them out. The capability assessment is a review of the City’s resources in order to identify, review, and analyze what the City is currently doing to reduce losses and identify the framework that is in place or should be in place for the implementation of new mitigation actions. The assessment involves four parts: (1) A review of the City’s legal and regulatory capability, including ordinances, codes, and plans to address hazard mitigation activities; (2) A review of the administrative and technical ability of Redding’s staff and personnel resources; (3) A review of the fiscal capability of Redding to provide the financial resources to implement the mitigation strategy; and (4) A summary review of the activities of each administrative division within the City that supports hazard mitigation activities and details any previous mitigation activities undertaken by these entities. The legal and regulatory hazard mitigation capability of the City of Redding is shown in Table 8-2. The table includes a review of existing ordinances, codes and plans that affect the built environment in Redding.

8.3 Goals, Objectives, and Actions
The goals, objectives, and actions were developed from the information in the hazard vulnerability analysis and loss estimation sections. The goals, objectives, and actions were developed to represent a vision of long-term hazard reduction or enhancement of existing capabilities. In developing the action plan, an agency lead has been determined for ongoing and new mitigation actions. A large majority of the actions are integrated into existing mechanisms. Each lead agency will make a determination as to how to integrate any new mitigation action into existing mechanisms when appropriate. The tables provided in this section are as follows:

9.0 PLAN ADOPTION, MAINTENANCE, REVIEW, EVALUATION, AND

IMPLEMENTATION

9.1 Adoption
The Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan 2014 Update was adopted by the Redding City Council on September 16, 2014. The resolution is provided on page 9. The plan was approved by FEMA on November 16, 2015, for a five-year period that will expired on November 16, 2020

9.2 Monitoring, Evaluating, and Updating the Plan
The Hazard Mitigation Plan is a living document that reflects the City’s ongoing hazard mitigation activities.

The process of monitoring, evaluating, and updating the Plan will be critical to the effectiveness of hazard mitigation.

The City’s Emergency Services Coordinator in the City’s Fire Department will be responsible for maintaining, evaluating, and updating the Plan. The Plan is intended to evolve in accord with changing priorities and policies within the community, and all mitigations set forth in the Plan, as well as the time-frame for their accomplishment are subject to revision and amendment. The City’s Hazard Mitigation Project Team (HMPT) will play a crucial role in providing direction, input, and guidance. The Emergency Services Coordinator will lead the HMPT and will review and recommend for approval any Plan updates proposed by the HMPT. The Plan will be reviewed at least every two years and updated at least every five years.

Recommendation for Plan revisions will be based on the following criteria:
• Changes in federal or state laws.
• Accomplishment of Actions, Objectives and Goals.
• Advances in knowledge or understanding of hazards.
• Additional hazard events, including federally declared disasters. • Changes in the City’s risk to the identified and/or additional hazards. • Performance of mitigation projects during hazard events. • Availability of funding and availability of staff with necessary expertise to fulfil the Plan.

The HMPT will convene annually to review the progress made towards the Plan’s goals and objectives.

The HMPT will review each goal and objective to determine their relevance to changing situations in the City, as well as changes in state or federal policy and laws to ensure that the Plan is addressing current and expected conditions. This annual review will include: a prioritization and re-evaluation of mitigation actions, as appropriate; an assessment of each action’s current status; and recommendations for improvements and/or changes. The HMPT will produce an annual Hazard Mitigation Status Report that represents the results of the annual review and present it to the Redding City Council.

Packet Pg. 224 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
125
Additionally, per FEMA regulations, the Plan will undergo a comprehensive review and update every five years. The Plan will be forwarded first to the California Office of Emergency Services for initial review; then to FEMA for final approval, and lastly to the Redding City Council for adoption. 2014 Plan Evaluation
Review of the implementation of the 2005 plan allowed the opportunity to review the Plan’s goals, objectives and identified actions to determine their relevance and current status. Prior to the initiation of the 2014 plan update process, little evaluation of the plan was conducted, primarily due to the economic downturn and its impact onto City staffing. As the plan was evaluated during the update process, the following was determined:
• 78 of the 96 identified 2005 actions are ongoing;
• 9 of the 18 identified non-ongoing 2005 actions were successfully completed; and • 10 additional unidentified actions were successfully completed.

As a part of the 2014 Update, a review of development within hazard prone areas was performed to determine their impact since the adoption of the plan in 2005. The table below list development that has occurred in hazard prone areas since the adoption of the plan and identifies which hazard prone area and its vulnerability.

Type of Development Hazard Vulnerability
Single Family Homes Fire No impact to vulnerability. Homes have been allowed to be constructed in the very high fire severity zone; however, their vulnerability is mitigated with the adoption of recent building codes which require the installation of fire sprinklers.

Various Development Flood No impact to vulnerability. All development within a designated flood plain is subject to the City’s adopted Flood Plain Regulations which are more stringent than the National Flood Insurance Program’s mandated regulations for a Community Rating System Class 6 community.

Clover Creek Detention
Basin
Flood Decreased vulnerability. This was designed as a regional detention facility and decreases the vulnerability of flooding along Churn Creek.
2021 Plan Evaluation
Review of the implementation of the 2015 plan allowed the opportunity to review the Plan’s goals, objectives and identified actions to determine their relevance and current status. As the plan was evaluated during the update process, the following was determined:
• 136 of the 141 identified 2015 actions are ongoing;
• 3 of the 28 non-going identified 2015 actions were successfully completed; • 3 additional unidentified actions were successfully completed; and • 5 identified 2015 actions were eliminated in this update.

9.3 Implementation Through Existing Programs
The City of Redding currently utilizes comprehensive land use planning, capital improvements planning, building codes and fire codes to guide and regulate development. The City of Redding addresses statewide planning goals and legislative requirements through these various programs. The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan provides a series of actions, many of which are closely related to the goals and objectives of these existing planning programs. The Steering Committee is responsible for determining how each individual action will be implemented through existing programs. After the City officially adopts the Plan, these existing mechanisms will have hazard mitigation strategies integrated into them. The Emergency Services Coordinator will ensure incorporation of hazard mitigation strategies during the periodic reviews of the City’s comprehensive plans and land use policies.

Capital Improvement Plan
The action items in the mitigation plan may be achieved through activities recommended in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP is updated every five years. Upon review of the CIP, the Steering Committee will work with the City’s Public Works Department to identify areas where the hazard mitigation action items are consistent with CIP goals and integrate them where appropriate. ♦ Date of last revision: 2019

♦ Relation to hazard mitigation: Action items may be inserted into the Capital Improvement Plan as approved by the City Council.

After formal adoption of the Hazard Mitigation Plan, the action items in the Plan will be incorporated into existing plans as is practical. The meetings of the Steering Committee will provide an opportunity for committee members to report back on the progress made on the integration of mitigation planning elements into City planning documents and procedures.

In addition to the Capital Improvement Plan, various other existing plans, policies, and programs have hazard mitigation ties. The Steering Committee will identify how best to implement individual actions into the appropriate existing plan, policy, or program. The following existing plans, policies, and programs were identified by the Steering Committee.

Existing Mitigation Activities
Existing mitigation activities include current mitigation programs and activities that are being implemented by city, county, regional, state, federal agencies, utilities or other organizations.

City Programs
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The City of Redding’s Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is used as a tool to help ensure that the City’s short- and long-term capital investments are made in the context of careful consideration of the City’s needs as well as the resources available to fund the related capital projects. The Packet Pg. 228 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
129
budgeting for the CIP starts with the development of the City’s 2-year budget and 10-year financial plan. This biennial process includes a combination of detailed staff analysis and broad public involvement. It is during this process that basic municipal operational and specific infrastructure needs are identified and matched with revenues generated from various local, state and federal funding sources. The CIP can assist the City of Redding in mitigation against wildland fire, flooding, and severe weather events by improving infrastructure most prone to damage.

Emergency Operation Center (EOC)
The Emergency Operation Center is an established location/facility from which City staff and officials can provide direction, coordination, and support to emergency operations in the event of an incident such as a disaster. City personnel who are assigned to and trained for specific positions within the EOC organizational structure staff the EOC. The structure is based on the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS) as outlined in the National Response Framework (NRF).

The EOC staff provides information and recommendations to the EOC Manager through the Incident Commander, or as directed, to develop a course of action to respond to and contain, control, and recover from an emergency. Some of the primary functions performed at the EOC include: coordination, operations management, planning, information tracking and dissemination, logistical support, financial management and support, and emergency public information.

Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)
The primary purpose of the EOP is to outline the City’s all-hazard approach to emergency operations in order to protect the safety, health, and welfare of its citizens throughout all emergency management mission areas.

The Plan sets forth a strategy and operating guidelines adopted by the City for managing its response and recovery activities during disasters and emergencies.

The Plan is composed of three main elements:
• Basic Plan
The purpose of the Basic Plan is to provide a framework for emergency operations and information regarding the City’s emergency management structure. It serves as the primary document outlining roles and responsibilities of elected officials during an incident.
• Functional Annexes (FAs)
The FAs focus on critical tasks, capabilities, and resources provided by emergency response agencies for the City throughout all phases of an emergency. • Incident Annexes (IAs)
The IAs supplement the Basic Plan to identify critical tasks associated with specific natural, technological, and human-caused hazards identified in the City’s most current Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment. The IAs identifies stepPacket Pg. 229 Attachment: City of Redding LHMP FEMA Approved Draft (4.4(a)--2022 Update to the City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan) City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
130
by-step actions for each hazard through the pre-incident, response, and recovery phases of an incident.

9.4 Continued Public Involvement
The City of Redding is dedicated to involving the public directly in the continual reshaping and updating of the Hazard Mitigation Plan. The HMPT members will be responsible for the annual review and update of the Plan. The annual review will incorporate at least one public workshop to allow public involvement, input, and feedback about the Plan.

Copies of the Plan will be kept at the County of Shasta Library, at the Fire Prevention Office, at the Police Station, and on the City’s website. The HMPT will be responsible for publicizing the location of these copies at least 30 days prior to the annual meeting to allow adequate time for the public to review and provide input. Public input will be included on the agenda of each annual meeting.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve the issuance of Request for Proposals for electric utility line construction contractor services to address Redding Electric Utility’s aging distribution system infrastructure.

Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impact is associated with the Request for Proposal (RFP) issuance. Upon selecting a Line Construction Contractor, Redding Electric Utility (REU) will present all contracts, budget resolution(s), and short-term and long-term fiscal impacts for the City Council’s (Council) consideration. Ongoing funding will be requested as part of biennial budgeting processes.

Staff anticipates capital expenses related to this effort to begin in Fiscal Year 2024 - 25. This estimate correlates with REU’s five-year financial plan presented to the Council on September 20, 2022, which estimated expenses related to the Five-Year Capital Plan beginning after July 1, 2023.

Alternative Action
The Council could choose not to approve the issuance of an RFP and provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
On August 17, 2021, the Council approved REU’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan and REU’s 2026 Strategic Plan. Goal Two of the Strategic Plan, Replace Aging Distribution System Infrastructure, states:

Report to Redding City Council January 10, 2023
Re: 4.5(a)--Approve Issuance of Request for Proposals for Electric Utility Line Construction Contract Page 2
With a focus on reliability and completion of an internal aging infrastructure assessment, we identified several distribution system elements that require replacement as part of ongoing routine operations. The projects will center on underground, overhead, and meter system replacement to ensure a solid platform is established for future modernization efforts. Key performance indicators such as total customers and outage minutes are used to gauge the effectiveness of aging asset replacement. Replacement of at-risk elements will reduce outage events while providing customers with a higher degree of reliable service.

REU typically performs all distribution system maintenance utilizing in-house staff. However, based on the volume of work identified in the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan coupled with existing staffing levels, REU requires contractors over the next five years and possibly longer, depending on the infrastructure replacement schedule. Current estimates indicate the need for two additional line crews over a multi-year contract with provisions for yearly contract extensions.

Typically, the City of Redding issues RFPs after the Council has authorized funds. Based on the proposal and expenditure uncertainty for this particular effort, REU requests authorization to issue an RFP before funding approval. The result would be a proposed solution, budget resolution(s), and fiscal impacts presented as one item for the Council’s consideration at a future meeting.

Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve Redding Electric Utility’s 2026 Strategic Plan establishing new vision and mission statements, identifying core organizational values; and setting goals.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with accepting Redding Electric Utility’ s ( REU) 2026 Strategic Plan.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose to not accept REU’ s 2026 Strategic Plan and provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
The previous REU 2020 Strategic Plan was approved by the Council in 2015. At that time, REU embarked on a structural overhaul to better align the workforce with customer needs, and the strategic plan helped staff focus on several critical areas, including technology, workforce and culture, communications, and financial stability. To address today’ s fast pace of change to the utility industry, REU staff engaged in a new strategic planning effort.

With the assistance of Hometown Connections, Inc. ( HCI), an advisory team of community members, City of Redding staff, and members of the Council worked to develop the 2026 Strategic Plan (Plan). The strategic planning team examined REU’ s strengths and limitations to confirm the utility’ s mission and priorities that will serve as guideposts for long- term project development and planning.

We remain committed to providing strong value to the Redding community far into the future. 03 Executive
Summary
Redding and Shasta County powered
on through the Carr Fire of 2018 and
Snowmaggedon in 2019. The year 2020
represented another challenge for the electric
utility industry. The COVID- 19 pandemic
proved to be devastating to our community and
nation as citizens struggled to remain healthy
many parts of the nation as natural disasters
damaged equipment and disrupted lives.

Our employees worked together, as frontline responders, to keep the power on while keeping themselves and our customers safe
As we look ahead, we must continue to
think and act strategically, addressing
changes in technology, customer
expectations, regulations and the climate,
especially related to wildres. We must
continue to be proactive and adapt quickly
to the changes impacting the electric
utility industry to best serve the Redding
community for the next 100 years. Change
is a constant in the electric utility industry,
and we are determined to act in a way
that best serves our customers and the
community far into the future. As a local,
publicly- owned utility, we are invested in
the success of Redding.

REU completed its previous strategic plan
in 2015. At that time, the organization
embarked on a structural overhaul to
better align the workforce with our
customer needs, and the strategic plan
helped us focus on several critical areas,
including technology, workforce and
culture, communications and nancial
stability. To address today’ s fast pace
of change to the utility industry, we
engaged in a new strategic planning
face when possible, and virtually when
COVID- 19 restrictions reduced our ability
to meet in person. Several meetings were
conducted with City of Redding Council
stakeholders to update REU’ s strategic
plan and chart a course for the future.

The strategic planning team examined
our strengths and limitations, conrming
the utility’s mission and priorities that will
serve as guideposts for long-term project
development and planning.

Packet Pg. 254 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - August 17, 2021, item no. 9.5(c)--Redding Electric Utility's Strategic Plan (4.5(a)--Approve Issuance of 04 The 2021 Strategic Plan includes several
important updates to our vision, mission and
priorities. The vision statement, identifying
the value we seek to bring to the Redding
community states:

REU makes Redding better by connecting
with our customers and being their trusted
and reliable, community- owned utility
The mission statement, which describes
what we will do to achieve that vision reads:

REU, in partnership with the Redding
community, is committed to improving the
public’ s safety and providing reliable, costeffective service Our organizational values will play a key
role in how we fulfill our mission and vision.

We have an obligation to the community to
act in its best interests. As such, we have
identified six core values which will drive
our actions:

Safety
Integrity
Customer Focus
Teamwork
Communication
Stewardship
Looking ahead to the coming years, we
have identified three key areas in which
we must excel for the utility to serve the
Redding community. They are:

Mitigate Risk
Maximize Reliability
Meet Regulations
We believe attention to these three
areas will position us to deliver valuable
service to the community for many years
to come. When the utility was formed
100 years ago, city leaders recognized
the wisdom of allowing the community to
control its own destiny by building and
managing its electric service. Today, the
City continues to deliver value to the
community through the local control of
utility services, maintaining high reliability
at very competitive rates, while keeping
dollars and jobs in the community.

We invite you to review this strategic plan
and share your thoughts with us about the
direction of the utility. You, the customer and
citizen, are the owners of Redding Electric
Utility. The ownership partnership formed in
1921 has been – and will remain – a key to
our success in the years ahead.

Executive
Summary
Packet Pg. 255 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - August 17, 2021, item no. 9.5(c)--Redding Electric Utility's Strategic Plan (4.5(a)--Approve Issuance of 05 Proud of Our History,
Preparing for
the Future
The world has changed greatly since REU began distributing electricity to the people of Redding 100 years ago. The utility, too, has seen significant change from the days when it purchased all of its wholesale power from area investor-owned utilities.

Over the decades, we established greater
control over our power supply, contracting
with the federal government for low cost
hydroelectric power, partnering with other
agencies to access significant economies
of scale and building our own generation
facilities. These forward- looking steps by
past city and utility leaders ensured greater
reliability, rate stability and predictability.

As a result, Redding’ s lights remain on, bills
remain manageable and its owners’ best
interests are being supported.

And who are those owners? No, it is not Wall
Street investment firms, hedge funds and
other shareholders. It is you, the customers
of the utility and the citizens of Redding. As
a public power utility, rather than an investorowned utility, our owners are our customers.

This means decision- making on issues
important to you, such as rates, power supply,
reliability and customer service, are made
locally. The utility’ s governing board is the
Redding City Council, which embraces the
critical role that the utility plays in serving the
community.

REU employs 193 people, who serve
44,905 residential and commercial
customers within the corporate boundries
of the City of Redding. Redding’ s
population and economy have remained
remarkably stable for many years. Most of
this century has seen modest growth in
population, lagging behind both California
and the U.S. population growth rates. Yet,
interest in Shasta County’ s vast natural
resources continues to drive strong tourism
as well as new residents, citing the area’ s
natural beauty as a draw.

The regional economic outlook is good,
having recovered fairly quickly from the
pandemic- fueled downturn. The local
industry is diversified, with the largest
employment sectors being healthcare, retail,
education, food, lodging and government.

Redding is well- positioned to remain
economically vibrant in the years ahead.

The utility must continue to adapt to
changes in our natural environment, new
state and federal regulations, technology
advancements and evolving customer
expectations.

For example, the wildfire “ season” is nearly
a year- round issue now. We recognize the
important role we must play in planning for and
responding to fires that may impact our service
territory. In 2021, technology and human
resources in the Redding Fire Department
and Parks Division have been provided
extraordinary tools to battle the wildfires
that continue to impact California. A stateof-the- art emergency operations center was established at our headquarters building
to allow first responders and leaders within

to prevent loss of life and property due
to catastrophic events. We work closely
with other Redding departments and rst
responders to ensure public safety.

Numerous other technological tools
are being implemented, including new
communication systems, IQ FireWatch
cameras, security cameras in and around
electric infrastructure and aerial imagery
for assessing the vegetation canopy. All of
these tools are congregated in the City of
Redding’ s new emergency operations center.

Looking within the utility, REU’s infrastructure,
reliability, and operations are generally in
good shape. However, many years of
deferred maintenance are resulting in more
frequent outages of longer duration. We
are at a pivotal time regarding our aging
distribution system, and signicant capital
maintenance and upgrades are needed in
order for us to continue providing reliable
community.
but we contend with higher wages at
utilities in Northern California which draw
from our workforce.

Financially, the utility is in solid shape,
with strong city council leadership and
diversied revenue.

REU’s system reliability is among the highest
in the state. Yet maintaining system reliability
is a never-ending process, and REU must
continue to evaluate its infrastructure and
ensure upgrades and technology are
manner.

In concert with a robust power generation,
transmission and distribution system, REU’s
Customer Services Division provides
outstanding service, continually going
above and beyond to help our customers.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic,
our Customer Services team developed an
extensive community outreach program,
the Comprehensive Community Assistance
Program to inform our customers about
available resources.

These technologies improve operations,
reliability, safety and customer service.

By providing funding for reghters and
vegetation management personnel, we
have been able to carefully identify and
mitigate potential re hazards that could
impact or be caused by our utility. In
addition, we have funded a large goat
program as part of vegetation management.

Through proactive measure and working
closely with other city departments, we will
continue to reduce the large risks wildres
pose to our beautiful area.

Proud of Our History,
Preparing for
the Future

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
In order to continually manage wildfire risk and the threat to public safety, our Wildfire Mitigation Plan identified several technology and distribution system improvements as significant mitigating factors to the detection and prevention of future wildfires in our service territory. Due to the long lead time for planning and construction, several critical projects remain outstanding with targeted completion within the 5-year horizon. The majority of the technology improvements have been deployed, with the remainder focusing on vegetation inspection systems. Distribution system improvements range from circuit hardening and strategic underground to developing a more coordinated vegetation management program.

With a focus on reliability and completion of an internal aging infrastructure assessment, we identified several distribution system elements that require replacement as part of ongoing routine operations. The projects will center on underground, overhead and meter system replacement to ensure a solid platform is established for future modernization efforts. Key performance indicators such as total customers and outage minutes are used to gauge the effectiveness of aging asset replacement. Replacement of at- risk elements will reduce outage events while providing customers with a higher degree of reliable service.

New technologies are available for deployment on our system to provide faster outage detection, real- time situational awareness and modernized software solutions for system operators. By modernizing our distribution system, we can ensure outage times are minimized by faster detection and response by pinpointing the outage and focusing resources on the needed repairs. Communication systems will be bolstered by the deployment of fiber optic lines on our system with additional spare capacity for future use. Power quality will be enhanced with projects aimed at line capacity upgrades and power factor improvement. mitigate risk

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Our recent overhaul of the Energy Risk Management Policy requires detailed processes to ensure all policy requirements are achieved. To align the policy with day-to-day staff duties, a set of business rules will be developed to identify modeling and analytical methods used to provide energy trading and hedging recommendations to the Energy Risk and Risk Oversight Committees. Key performance indicators from this project will center on the ability to keep our energy portfolio metrics in compliance with the Energy Risk Policy. Separately, updated Integrated Resource Plans will be needed to address the future energy landscape in California, with particular focus paid to electrification of transportation and buildings. In addition to focusing on load growth from carbon reduction efforts, additional renewable energy resources will be required to maintain compliance with the State’s Renewable Portfolio Standard requirements.

As part of our North American Electric Reliability Corporation registration as a Transmission Owner and Operator, we are continually striving to develop a culture of compliance with a particular focus on regulatory best practices. To support a culture of compliance and the development of best practices, a Regulatory Compliance Internal Controls project will be completed to ensure any compliance failures are minimized. With the recent requirement to provide enhanced system security by SB699, we will be focusing on bolstering the security at our substations by adding additional layers of protection from sabotage or break- ins. mitigate risk

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Aligning revenues with the cost of providing electric service is imperative to mitigate risks.

REU will implement two projects to analyze and recommend a rate structure. The first project will consist of a cost- of-service study that analyzes electric consumption patterns of service. To garner support for the rate structure recommendation, a second project will ensure significant outreach and community engagement to gather comments, provide education and develop consensus.

Our Customer Focus Core Value is intended on meeting the needs of our customers and fostering an ownership relationship with the community. To support this core value, we must increase our communication channels, frequency of outreach and inclusion with our customers as we move through this Strategic Plan cycle. Two projects have been developed to meet this goal. A customer needs survey project will help us identify the areas requiring more attention and communication, while an updated communications plan project will ensure we are more effective at stakeholder processes and customer outreach. Future surveys will be used to gauge the effectiveness of these projects.

Because we value our employees, REU identified several employee training and procedure management projects to ensure our teams understand their roles and responsibilities in serving our customers. Furthermore, in order to attract and retain quality and dedicated team members, ongoing labor market analysis must occur to ensure the working environment of REU is one that attracts and maintains employees. This will include studies of pay and benefits and working conditions. These workforce initiatives are imperative to deliver the strategic plan successfully.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to Redding Electric Utility (REU):
1) Accept the Five- Year Capital Improvement Plan; and
2) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 6th Amendment to the City Budget Resolution No. 2021- 078 authorizing the creation of four additional line personnel positions for Redding Electric Utility.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with accepting the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan.

Staff will return to the City Council ( Council) with a contract for Engineering Services as identified in the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan along with the necessary budget resolution. Additionally, Redding Electric Utility (REU) will return to the Council with project specific budget resolutions as design services are completed.

The annual cost of the four additional Lineman positions is estimated at $ 800, 000 per year subject to change based on future labor agreements). Budgetary savings from current vacant positions is anticipated to cover the cost of filling the new positions for the current budget cycle, with the ongoing annual cost of the positions included as part of REU’ s biennial budget requests.

For reference, in Fiscal Year 2020-21 REU realized personnel savings due to vacancies of approximately $2.5 million, which resulted in personnel savings net of salary adjustments and overtime of approximately $ 900,000. However, depending on actual savings, REU may be seeking additional budget authorization at future mid-year or mid-cycle budget updates.

Alternative Action
The Council could choose to adopt any combination of the recommendations above, and/ or provide additional direction to staff.

Re: 9.5(d)--Redding Electric Utility' s Five- Year Capital Improvement Plan Page 2 Background/Analysis
The Five-year Capital Improvement Plan ( CIP), created by Ulteig Engineers, Inc. ( Ulteig), provides an overview of the current state of REU ’s distribution system and provides a roadmap that will assist REU in achieving its goal of providing safe and reliable power to its customers while preparing the distribution system for future transportation and building electrification load growth.

The Five-Year CIP is a subset of REU’s Distribution Modernization Program. The Distribution Modernization Program is a ten- year integrated outlook factoring in wildfire mitigation and system hardening, replacement of aging distribution assets ( both overhead and underground), efforts to increase system reliability by reducing system outage events and durations, and greater situational awareness to increase visibility of outages providing reduced response time and repair. These critical system improvements have been prioritized based on the strategic priorities outlined in REU’s Five-Year Strategic Plan: maximize reliability, mitigate risk, and meet regulations.

The entire Distribution Modernization Program, including cost estimates, workforce assessments, schedule projections, available resources, and description of improvements, is available for review by contacting REU.

Based upon Ulteig’ s and REU staff’ s workforce assessment, the current REU staffing level is insufficient to complete the necessary improvements in the required timeline. However, REU does not recommend filling this need solely from hiring new full-time staff to supplement a large scale, short-term project uplift. Alternatively, REU is recommending four additional Line personnel and the use of third- party contractor support to supplement existing REU crew capabilities. Contracting the work will require coordination and cooperation with IBEWElectric.

As the resources needed to implement the Five- Year CIP and other Strategic Plan items, including meeting increased regulations and mitigating risk, are addressed, REU will embark on a process to review rates for future recommendations to the Council. This process will include public outreach, a cost-of-service study, and a communication plan. REU will work with the City of Redding Equity Officer to ensure outreach and communication is available and understandable to all REU customers. This process will be targeted to begin in September and be completed by the end of 2021.

1 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)

1.1 Overview
REU’ s 5-year Strategic Plan sets the goals and the expectation of an electric grid which is more reliable, resilient to natural disasters, and more flexible for the increased installation of Distributed Energy Resources ( DERs) and transportation and building electrification load growth. However, through years of deferred maintenance, REU’ s extensive infrastructure continues to age and decreasing reliability statistics confirm this. This Capital Improvement Plan outlines the necessary improvements over the next five years to address the highest priority items identified. It is imperative that REU acts quickly to make these significant infrastructure improvements outlined herein while working towards the goal of a more modern grid and to meet the needs of continued electrification. With the immense workload that will be required to accomplish this objective, ensuring these efforts commence promptly will be vital to ensuring that our manpower is best utilized performing proactive improvements rather than emergency repairs and power restorations.

The 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan was formed from an in-depth look at the first 5 years of the Distribution Modernization Program ( DMP), a separate document. Each project was analyzed against the goals outlined in REU’ s Strategic Plan using analytical scoring techniques and priority projects were determined which could best be accomplished within this 5-year period. This involved evaluating capital vs engineering only projects, assessing the total number of hours anticipated to complete the work, determining the existing backlog of existing work and projecting cost and labor that would be required for any new construction projects. These construction labor hours were then evaluated against the historic available construction labor hours within REU.

Table 1 shows that to initiate construction, a great deal of engineering design efforts will need to take place. The total spending in the first year is lower than the remaining years for this reason. As designs are prepared and construction ramps up, the capital spend is expected to significantly increase in year 2 and beyond as can be seen in Table 2. Through multiple prioritization discussions, the overall 5-year CIP schedule, Table 3, was developed to layout the required timeline for the 5-Year CIP to accomplish the goals set forth in the DMP.

Historic records show that REU Line staff can only commit approximately 12,480 hours/ year to new Capital Improvement Projects over and above any day-to-day activities such as new construction & emergency repairs. This approximation includes 2,080 hours for overtime associated with these projects. When evaluating the total number of construction labor hours required to complete the effort proposed within this plan, it is apparent that contract labor is required to supplement REU staffing in order to meet the goals of this plan. Tables 4 & 5 below show a breakdown of the total projected hours required per year and the amount of estimated internal labor hours. Additionally, this table illustrates the effect of REU hiring an additional 4-person line crew within the first year of this plan.

Prior to initiating many of these improvement projects, an engineering evaluation of the distribution system model as described in the DMP must be performed. This necessary engineering effort will better identify system weaknesses, determine critical construction project phasing, and develop improved construction standards. These estimated prerequisite Packet Pg. 280 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - August 17, 2021, item no. 9.5(d)--Redding Electric Utility's Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (4.5(a)-- 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan Redding Electric Utility Confidential 4
engineering hours and dollars were then rolled into the associated capital projects as part of their overall scope. The estimated values are listed in the tables below and the tables in the DMP. In addition to the system evaluation, engineering design and construction services will also be required prior to and during execution of each construction project. This engineering services effort was estimated at 15% of the cost for each project. One exception to this estimate is the Aging Asset – Underground Cable Replacements project where this service was calculated at 7.5%. Current availability of REU engineering staff is limited to an estimated 2,200 hours per year to work on these projects over and above day-to-day base workload. As can be seen in Tables 6 & 7 below, the estimated engineering labor required to complete this work is significantly greater than the hours available through current REU staff.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following relative to Bid Schedule No. 5338, Commercial Electric Solid-State kWh/Demand Meters:
(1) Accept the apparent low bid by Anixter, Inc., and award to Anixter, Inc., for an annual evaluated cost of $198,820.75, not inclusive of sales tax. The contract period shall be from February 1, 2023, through January 31, 2024;
(2) Authorize the Purchasing Officer to extend the bid award annually with Anixter, Inc., through January 31, 2026, if mutually agreeable, with all terms and conditions remaining the same; the contract may be extended annually for two (2) additional one-year periods through January 31, 2026, and price adjustments may be made in direct proportion to a Producer Price Index; and
(3) Authorize the City Manager to approve changes to future pricing terms and policies as needed due to inflation and unstable economic conditions.

Fiscal Impact
Funding for the purchase of commercial electric solid-state kWh/demand meters was included in Redding Electric Utility’s adopted budget for the Fiscal Year 2022-23. Staff will incorporate commercial meter costs for future years as part of biennial budget requests.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to award the bid to Anixter, Inc., and provide alternative direction to staff.

Re: 4.5(b)--Award of Bid Schedule 5338 – Commercial Electric Solid-State kWh/Demand Meters Page 2
Background/Analysis
On Monday, November 28, 2022, staff opened two bids for commercial electric solid-state kWh/demand meters. In the evaluation process, staff analyzed the bids based on the bid price and compliance with specifications. The apparent evaluated low bid was from Anixter, Inc., for $198,820.75, not inclusive of sales tax.

This is a routine bid for commercial electric solid-state kWh/demand meters through January 31, 2024, with up to two one-year contract extensions on an as-needed basis, subject to the availability of budgeted funds. These poly-phase electric meters are required to support new commercial services and replace the existing aging poly-phase electric meters currently in service.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the purchase of three underground line trucks and two underground inspector trucks using Sourcewell contract pricing with Altec Industries, Inc., (Altec) at a cost of $796,428.17 for Redding Electric Utility.

Fiscal Impact
The vehicle purchases were anticipated, and adequate funding is available within Redding Electric Utility’s (REU) Rolling Stock Fund (balance of approximately $3.7 million as of December 31, 2022).

REU included funding for replacing all five of these vehicles in its adopted Rolling Stock Replacement Plan for the Fiscal Years 2021-23 at an estimated cost of $547,000, or approximately $250,000 less than the quoted replacement cost. Since the budgetary estimates were developed, there has been a significant industry-wide increase in pricing, resulting in replacement costs far outpacing calculations based on pre-COVID inflationary metrics. REU will likely propose increased funding for its Rolling Stock Replacement Plan as part of the Fiscal Year 2023-2025 biennial budget process. At that time, the long-term financial impacts of these, and other replacements, will be considered.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to approve the purchase and provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
REU has three underground line trucks (E440, E441, and E444) that are utilized for underground distribution line work and two underground inspector trucks (E443 and E442) that are utilized MEETING DATE: January 17, 2023

for underground inspections and repairs. These five underground trucks meet the vehicle replacement guidelines set by the City of Redding Fleet Division. The Fleet Division’s guidelines take into consideration the vehicle’s age, mileage, usage hours, and maintenance costs. The replacement of these trucks is a part of REU’s vehicle replacement plan.

Altec participates in a cooperative agreement with Sourcewell, formerly known as the National Joint Powers Alliance, as the result of a competitive bid process. In addition to being an industry standard, using the Sourcewell contract to purchase equipment saves significant staff time needed to prepare bid specifications and solicit individual quotations from vendors. The City of Redding also receives a significant price discount due to economies of scale realized through the volume of purchases on a multi-agency cooperative contract.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions relative to the 2023 – 2027 Fourth of July Freedom Festival (Freedom Festival):
(1) Approve the Memorandum of Agreement with The McConnell Foundation for the purpose of accepting funding of $105,000 each year for the fireworks displays; and authorize the Mayor to execute said Agreement;
(2) Authorize sole source and approve the Production Agreement for the Freedom Festival Fireworks Display with Pyro Spectaculars North, Inc., for the annual Freedom Festival firework show for five years (through July 4, 2027); and authorize the Mayor to execute said Agreement; and
(3) Find that this activity is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land), and Section 15323 (Normal Operations of Facilities for Public Gatherings).

Fiscal Impact
The City of Redding (City) will be committed to providing the required public safety, street closure, and coordination services if the City Council (Council) accepts the grant funds.

Historically, the City has provided event management and public safety support. The City’s annual special events budget has included $42,450 for City expenses associated with the Fourth of July Freedom Festival (Freedom Festival) since 2018, and will be adjusted to approximately $52,500 annually.

Alternative Action
The Council could choose to not accept the grant from The McConnell Foundation. Other funds would need to be identified to cover this expense or the event would have to be canceled.

The Council could also choose to decline approval of the Production Agreement with Pyro Spectaculars North, Inc. Declining would require staff to bid out the contract or cancel the event.

Background/Analysis
Since 1990, the Community Services Department has been responsible for coordinating the Freedom Festival. With the collaboration of other City departments, non-profit organizations, and the Redding community, this event has become the largest single-day event in Redding.

The Freedom Festival begins in the early evening with musical entertainment and food concessions hosted by various non-profit organizations. Throughout the day, thousands of residents and visitors gather on the grounds of the Redding Civic Auditorium, with many others viewing the show from sites throughout the City. The firework display includes over 1,700 fireworks shells launched in the span of approximately 20 minutes and is the culmination of the day’s activities, with a local radio station providing a musical simulcast.

From 1990 through 2007, Boom Boom, Inc., (Boom Boom) of Hayfork provided pyrotechnic and show coordination services for the Freedom Festival. During this time, the fireworks display grew in both size and complexity. In 1998, the contract for pyrotechnic services was advertised for bid, and Boom Boom was the only respondent. The City Council approved a sole source agreement for the next eight years. In December 2007, Pyro Spectaculars North, Inc., (Pyro Spectaculars) purchased Boom Boom. The City Council approved Pyro Spectaculars as the sole source vendor for the 2008 fireworks show, although later in that year staff received a request from another vendor to bid out the opportunity to provide services for future shows. Staff issued the Request for Proposals and only one firm responded – Pyro Spectaculars. Pyro Spectaculars was awarded a five-year contract in 2009, which was extended for another three years in 2014. In 2018, the City Council approved a four-year contract with Pyro Spectaculars.

The business of pyrotechnics is complex and dangerous; the City’s track record with Pyro Spectaculars is excellent. The Redding Fire Department and the City’s contracted Liability Risk Manager concur with the recommendation of a sole source contract with Pyro Spectaculars. A Memorandum of Agreement has been prepared to outline the scope of work for the next five years, 2023 through 2027. The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved the proposed language of the agreement, which is available online.

The McConnell Foundation provided funding for past fireworks displays. The City was recently notified that The McConnell Foundation approved the request to fund the Pyro Spectacular proposal for the next five years ($105,000 annually), 2023 through 2027. A Memorandum of Agreement has been prepared to outline the grant conditions. The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved the proposed language of the agreement, which is available online.

Environmental Review
Staff has reviewed the project and determined that this activity is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land), and Section 15323 (Normal Operations of Facilities for Public Gatherings).

Class 1 exemptions include the permitting, leasing, and operation of public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features that involve negligible or no expansion of use. Class 4 exemptions include the minor temporary use of land having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment. A Class 23 exemption consists of the normal operations of existing facilities for public gatherings for which the facilities were designed, where there is a past history of the facility being used for the same or similar purpose. The funding agreement and production agreement will replace prior agreements. The Freedom Festival requires only minor temporary use of the land, will result in no expansion of existing use, and has been conducted at the Redding Civic Auditorium on Independence Day for many years. These actions have no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Budget and Financial Management – “Achieve balanced and stable 10-year Financial Plans for all funds.”
• 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 following actions relative to the Carter House building located in Caldwell Park at 48 Quartz Hill Road:
(1) Approve an Amended and Restated Land and Building Lease Agreement (C-4054) with North Valley Art League for the Carter House in Caldwell Park through June 30, 2033, with an option to extend upon mutual agreement, at a monthly rental rate of $675.05; and (2) Find that the adoption of the Amended and Restated Lease is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines pursuant to Section 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations – Existing Facilities, because renewal of the lease will not result in a significant impact on the environment and will not cause an expansion of the existing use.

Fiscal Impact
The projected annual lease revenue for the amended and restated lease agreement with North Valley Art League (NVAL) is $8,100.60, with an annual 3 percent increase. This revenue covers the cost of ongoing maintenance for items such as pest control, janitorial service, HVAC maintenance, and other on-call maintenance. Additionally, it provides a long-term maintenance fund for roof replacement, parking lot surfacing, and other capital costs as needed. The new payment will commence retroactively on January 1, 2023.

Alternative Action
The Council could decline to approve the amended and restated lease agreement with NVAL, which would result in the existing agreement remaining in place without the updated expenses and monthly rent. Or, the Council could provide staff with alternate direction.

Report to Redding City Council January 11, 2023
Re: 4.6(b)--Amended & Restated Lease Agreement with North Valley Art League Page 2 Background/Analysis
For more than 40 years, the City has been in partnership with NVAL, first at the Old City Hall building, then a small building on Parkview Avenue, and most recently at the Carter House in Caldwell Park. NVAL is a non-profit arts organization for amateur and professional artists boasting a membership of more than 250 people and many more supporters. NVAL offers community members seeking to develop their artistic ability a schedule of workshops and classes, opportunities to show their work, and events to compete for recognition of their talent.

NVAL hosts a national juried show that draws entries from all over the country. Further, the presence of an art gallery in Caldwell Park adds value to the park experience and extends the attraction to a broader audience.

On March 10, 2020, NVAL closed its gallery at Carter House due to the COVID-19 pandemic and re-opened on July 7, 2021. NVAL depends on public attendance, participation in art classes, and memberships to generate revenues and sustain regular operations. This closure resulted in an associated decline in revenue. NVAL continued to pay the entire prior lease payment until December 2020. The Council approved a temporary reduction in NVAL’s lease payment from December 2020 through June 2021, which annually prorated the payments through December 31, 2022. Prior to that time, the lease payment was $563 per month.

The original contract commenced on July 1, 2013, spanning a 20-year term and an option to extend upon mutual agreement of both parties. NVAL has been an exemplary tenant with no extraordinary expenses.

Highlights of the amended and restated lease are:
• The term of the lease remains unchanged and continues through June 30, 2033. • NVAL pays all utility costs as well as $675.05 monthly toward a maintenance fund for roofing, HVAC, and other building repair/maintenance expenses. • NVAL provides care for the garden areas adjacent to the building. • NVAL provides sixty (60) hours of community service, including art workshops and tours, thirty (30) hours of which are coordinated with the Recreation Division to include art lessons for summer day camp programs.
• NVAL hosts a retail area in the front of the gallery with note cards and other gift items available for sale.
• The gallery is open to visitors for a minimum of twenty (20) hours weekly. • A 12-month notice is required for termination of the lease.

Environmental Review
The adoption of this Amended and Restated Lease is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. This exemption permits the lease of existing public facilities when there is negligible or no expansion of use. The adoption of this Amended and Restated Lease does not expand the use of the facility beyond what was originally contemplated in the lease dated April 1, 2013, as amended from time to time. This Amended and Restated Lease likewise does not expand the use of the facility by means of an extension to its term. The term of the original lease, as amended, is not impacted by the Amended and Restated Lease.

When granting its consent, Lessor may impose any conditions it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, payment of prevailing wages, the approval of plans and specifications and obtaining of specified insurance. As a condition precedent to such written consent of Lessor, Lessee agrees to obtain and deliver to Lessor written and unconditional waivers of mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens upon the land and building, of which the Premises are a part, for all work, labor, and services to be performed and materials to be furnished by them in connection with such work, signed by all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, and laborers to be involved in such work.

If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien is filed against the Premises, the building, and/or the land for which work is claimed to have been done or materials claimed to have been furnished to Lessee, such lien shall be discharged by Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, by the payment thereof or by filing any bond required by law. If Lessee shall fail to discharge any such mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien, Lessor may, at its option, discharge the same and treat the cost thereof as additional rent payable with the monthly installment of rent next becoming due; it being hereby expressly covenanted and agreed that such discharge by Lessor shall not be deemed to waive or release the default of Lessee in not discharging the same.

It is understood and agreed by Lessor and Lessee that any alterations, exterior decorations, additions, or improvements shall be constructed on behalf of Lessee; and that in the event Lessor gives its written consent to Lessee making any such alterations, exterior decorations, additions, or improvements, such written consent shall not be deemed to be an agreement or consent by Lessor to subject Lessor’s interest in the Premises, the building, or the land to any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens which may be filed in respect to any such work done by or on behalf of Lessee.

B. All alterations, exterior decorations, additions, or improvements, including wall-to-wall carpet, upon the Premises (whether with or without the prior written consent of Lessor) shall, at the election of Lessor, remain upon the Premises and become the property of Lessor and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration or termination of this Lease Agreement without disturbance, molestation, or injury. Should Lessor elect that alterations, exterior decorations, additions, or improvements made by Lessee upon the Premises, including telephone or computer cabling, security systems, conduit or wiring, be removed upon expiration or termination of this Lease Agreement, Lessee hereby agrees to cause same to be removed at Lessee’s sole cost and expense. Should Lessee fail to remove the same, Lessor may cause same to be removed at Lessee’s expense, and Lessee hereby agrees to reimburse Packet Pg. 340 Attachment: NVAL Lease Agreeement Proposed (C-4054) (4.6(b)--Amended & Restated Lease Agreement with North Valley Art League) Amended and Restated Carter House Land and Building Lease Agreement (C-4054) 6 North Valley Art League
Lessor for the cost of such removal, together with any and all damages which Lessor may suffer and sustain by reason of the failure of Lessee to remove the same.

C. Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all expenses, liens, claims, or damages to persons or property which arise directly or indirectly by reason of the making of any such alterations, exterior decorations, additions, or improvements. If any such work is done without the prior written consent of Lessor, Lessor may correct or remove the same, and Lessee shall be liable for any and all expenses incurred by Lessor in the performance of this work. All alterations, exterior decorations, additions, or improvements in or to the Premises or the building made by either party shall immediately become the property of Lessor, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the expiration or termination of the term hereof without disturbance, molestation, or injury; provided, however, that if Lessee is not in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease Agreement, Lessee shall have the right to remove, prior to expiration of the term hereof, all movable furniture, furnishings, or equipment installed in the Premises at the expense of Lessee. If such property of Lessee is not removed by Lessee prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease Agreement, the same shall become the property of Lessor and shall be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof.

SECTION 13. SIGNS.

A second sign not exceeding five (5) feet in height nor six (6) square feet in area may be placed near the parking lot north of the premises. The freestanding sign shall be made entirely of wood or concrete to coordinate with the building.

D. It is further understood and agreed as a condition of this Lease Agreement that should Lessee hire an employee or employees, it will provide workers’ compensation insurance on its employees as required by the Labor code, and shall furnish Lessor with a Certificate evidencing such insurance. To obtain an exemption from this requirement should Lessee have no employees, Lessor shall provide the Risk Manager of Lessor with a letter stating that it is not employing any person or persons in any manner so as to become subject to the workers’ compensation laws of California; provided, however, that should Lessee later Packet Pg. 342 Attachment: NVAL Lease Agreeement Proposed (C-4054) (4.6(b)--Amended & Restated Lease Agreement with North Valley Art League) Amended and Restated Carter House Land and Building Lease Agreement (C-4054) 8 North Valley Art League

SECTION 16. ASSIGNMENT; SUBLETTING.

A. Lessee shall not assign this Lease Agreement or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, nor any right or privilege pertinent thereto, nor suffer any other person (the officers, agents, employees, members and invitees of Lessee excepted) to occupy or use said Premises, or any portion thereof, without the written consent of Lessor first had and obtained. A consent by Lessor to one assignment, subletting, occupancy, or use by another party shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupancy, or use by the same or another party. Any such assignment, subletting, occupancy, or use without such consent shall be void and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate this Lease Agreement. This Lease Agreement or any interest therein shall not be assignable as to the interest of Lessee, by operation of law, without the written consent of Lessor. Lessor will not unreasonably withhold its consent to a sublease or assignment by Lessee.

SECTION 19. WAIVER.

A. No delay or failure by any party to exercise any right, power, or remedy with regard to any breach or default by such party under this Lease Agreement, or to insist upon strict performance of any of the provisions hereof, shall impair any right, power, or remedy of such party, and shall not be construed to be a waiver of any breach or default of the same or any other provision of this Agreement. The waiver by Lessor of any breach or default of any term, covenant, or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, or any subsequent breach of the same, or any other term, covenant, or condition herein contained.

Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 77th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2021-078 appropriating $60,000 from the Southwest Quadrant of the Park In-Lieu Fund for environmental studies and services, permits, materials, and contract management for the proposed Jenny Creek Trail Project; and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to implement the project should it be approved after environmental review.

Fiscal Impact
The funds requested for the $60,000 appropriation come from revenue collected from Park InLieu Fees. Fee revenue is used to acquire necessary parkland, develop new parks, or increase the capacity of existing facilities. Fees are collected when a subdivision map is recorded and are assigned to one of four geographic areas, or quadrants, based on the subdivision’s location. Fees are spent only on park improvements within that part of the City of Redding (City), which, in this case, is the City’s Southwest Quadrant. This funding would be utilized for CEQA costs, permits, contracts, materials, and rentals for the proposed project.

There will be some modest impact to the General Fund for ongoing maintenance estimated at eight to ten hours of staff time per month after construction of the proposed project which is anticipated to take 18 to 24 months. The maintenance work will be considered, along with additional future park projects, in the upcoming budget preparations.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could decline to adopt the budget resolution, which would require the Community Services Department (Department) to find alternate funding sources, or provide the staff with an alternate direction.

Report to Redding City Council January 11, 2023
Re: 4.6(c)--Appropriate Funds for Jenny Creek Trail Project Page 2 Background/Analysis
In the last decade, the City has completed several trail connections to the Sacramento River Trail from surrounding neighborhoods. These connections are very popular with residents and reduce vehicle traffic to the established trailheads. Additionally, staff has heard from many in the road biking community that a paved westside connection to the Sacramento River Trail is desirable.

The Jenny Creek trail alignment offers a connection from the Sunset/Overhill neighborhoods at a grade that could be paved in the future.

In October 2022, the CCC applied for and received an internal Proposition 68 State of California Parks & Water Bond grant to construct the first phase of the proposed Jenny Creek Trail Project on behalf of the Community Services Department. The CCC has sought and received these funds multiple times. Recently, the City and CCC partnership completed the widening of the Buenaventura Trail, built the Nur Pon Open Space trails, and are currently working on the Canyon Hollow trail network.

The proposed Jenny Creek Trail is located off Royal Oaks Drive, which connects T.R. Woods Memorial Park to the Overhill Drive connector to the Sacramento River Trail. The CCC will construct the first phase of the project, an approximately 0.8-mile trail corridor, by clearing, grading, and placing base rock in preparation for a second phase of asphalt paving. The grant funding, in combination with other project partner funding, will facilitate the corridor construction as well as an 80-foot bridge over the creek.

The grant funds approximately $723,000 in CCC labor and $127,000 in materials for a total of $850,000. The labor time equates to 34 weeks of a full 14-member crew. Though the City is not required to provide matching funds for construction of the proposed project, the City is responsible for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance and permitting. Staff is seeking an appropriation of $60,000 from the Park In-Lieu Fund to complete the CEQA process to access the $850,000 grant. Project partners, including Redding West Rotary and other private donors, are contributing an additional $205,000 of funding and in-kind services.

The Jenny Creek Trail is a longstanding Community Services Department goal, and is included in the Trail Plan of the City’s 2004 Parks, Trails, and Open Space Master Plan. To complete the project in the future, staff will seek out grants for the phase two paving effort and return to the Council for any necessary actions. Once completed, the Jenny Creek Trail will be the only paved westside connector for the Sacramento River Trail, and will serve thousands of residents and connect neighborhoods to schools and low-stress transportation facilities.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined under the CEQA. The appropriation of funds will allow staff to complete the relevant technical studies and environmental review for the proposed Jenny Creek Trail project, in compliance with the CEQA.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve and ratify the City of Redding Community Services Department’s submittal of a Boating Access Program grant application in an amount not to exceed $600,000 to provide funding assistance for boat ramp and fishing facility operations and maintenance at multiple river access locations.

Fiscal Impact
The scope of the Boating Access Program grant will be negotiated if the application is selected.

A match of 25 percent is required and will be covered through in-kind services by City of Redding (City) staff; these staff positions are currently funded positions that maintain the facilities.

Alternative Action
Due to timing constraints for the grant application, an application was submitted to meet grant timelines. The City Council (Council) could decline to ratify staff’s submission of the Boating Access Program grant application which would result in a missed opportunity to fund maintenance costs associated with multiple river access locations and would direct staff to withdraw the grant application. Or, Council could provide staff with alternative direction.

Background/Analysis
Grants within the Boating Access Program, a sub-program of the Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program, can fund a broad range of river access facilities and associated amenities that benefit recreational boaters. These grants are available to State Fish and Wildlife Agencies that sometimes partner with local governments, other state agencies, or non-governmental organizations to ensure public access to State-controlled waters. The Redding office of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has partnered with the City to apply for the MEETING DATE: January 17, 2023

Report to Redding City Council January 11, 2023
Re: 4.6(d)--Authorize Grant Application for Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program Page 2 funds, thereby recognizing the value of the facilities to the sport fishing community, as well as the State’s previous investment in the development of these facilities, and the associated burden of maintenance costs.

Though many development grants are available for parks, trails, and facilities, those that fund maintenance are rarely available. The Boating Access Program will fund up to 75 percent of the ongoing maintenance and operations costs currently paid by the City, and absorb some capital project costs such as parking lot and access road asphalt maintenance. The program is new to the CDFW, and the window of opportunity to apply is limited. The grant application deadline was December 31, 2022, and staff submitted the application on December 29, 2022. Staff is still working through the details and will return with a complete proposal and contract, if awarded funding.

The application seeks funding for operations and maintenance of the following six facilities:
• Lake Redding Boat Ramp
• John Reginato River Access
• Turtle Bay Boat Ramp
• Nur Pon Open Space and River Access
• Turtle Bay East Open Space and River Access
• Kum Bay Xerel Open Space and River Access

These are routine maintenance items, and are not considered a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act. No further action is required.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager to execute the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding (C-6532) between the City of Redding and the Colt 45s for year-round maintenance, field preparation, and scheduling at Tiger Field, and security services at Tiger Field, South City Park, and the adjacent parking lots through June 30, 2024.

Fiscal Impact
The modifications listed in the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) result in minimal cost for the City of Redding (City). Initially, the Colt 45s team (Team) was to have its own account for garbage service; however, the Team uses the City’s garbage container for solid waste. The MOU changes formalize the existing arrangement.

Pursuant to the MOU the City shall pay for water, sewer, and electric expenses not to exceed $42,000 annually. Any amount over $42,000 will be paid by the Team.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to approve any or all of the proposed items relative to the maintenance and security at Tiger Field. The alternatives will require City staff to renegotiate terms with the Team.

Background
Tiger Field is the City’s historic baseball park in South City Park. It is the only field in the City’s inventory that meets regulation baseball field dimensions. Historically, the field is used by Simpson University, American Legion, Colt 45s, Redding Recreation, local high schools, and various other users. The City and the Team entered into an MOU in 2015 to provide year-round facility maintenance, including game day preparations for the Tiger Field facility, field MEETING DATE: January 17, 2023

scheduling, and periodic security patrols. The arrangement has worked well for both parties. Last year, Simpson University communicated that it would use its own field and no longer have a need to utilize Tiger Field. This move opens the calendar for more community play. As such, the Team and the City sought clarifications and revisions to the MOU. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the attached MOU.

Highlights of the changes in the Amended and Restated MOU include:
• Simplifying the list of priority users
• Eliminating game count by user
• Reducing the minimum number of games from 170 to 125 annually • Updating field use request process
• Increasing field use fee from maximum of $200 to $250 • Codifying that the Team retains field use fees
• Extending the Team’s use of Tiger Hall from summer to year-round • Eliminating the requirement for separate trash service Environmental Review

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution authorizing the submittal of a grant application by the City of Redding Water Utility to the State of California Department of Water Resources 2022 Urban Community Drought Relief Grant Program in an amount not to exceed $31,000,000 for drought relief projects and programs.

Fiscal Impact
The State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR) 2022 Urban Community Drought Relief Grant (2022 UCDRG) Program requires a minimum cost share of 25 percent of the total project costs. The City of Redding (City) is currently classified as a Disadvantaged Community, and as such, will request the local cost share requirements be waived. If the cost share waiver is not granted, the Water Utility would reassess and prioritize its projects and programs and reallocate existing funds to fulfill the local match requirement. The projects align with the existing Capital Improvement Plan and the expected revenue generated by the Water Utility. Total project/program costs are estimated to exceed the minimum $3,000,000 award requirement from DWR. Adoption of this resolution will have minimal fiscal impact, as the City expects to receive the cost share waiver.

Alternative Action
The City Council may choose from the following alternative actions:

1. Not adopt the resolution and, therefore, not authorize an application to the DWR 2022 UCDRG Program. In this case, the City would not apply for the funding opportunity and would not receive grant funding from this program. This alternative would result in several of the proposed projects not moving forward and the Water Utility funding 100 percent of the remaining projects.

2. Provide staff with alternative project recommendations. This may require further analysis to determine project eligibility or feasibility for implementation. Grant applications are due January 31, 2023.

3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
In June 2022, the California legislature amended the Budget Act of 2021 (Stats. 2021, ch. 240, § 80) to allocate an additional $545 million to DWR to award grants for drought relief. These grants are intended to provide water to communities that face the loss or contamination of their water supplies, to address immediate impacts on human health and safety, and to protect fish and wildlife resources.

The City’s Water Utility is responsible for providing customers with a reliable supply of highquality drinking water. The Water Utility serves approximately 90,000 customers over a 60 square mile service area. The DWR 2022 UCDRG Program opportunity would enable the Water Utility to leverage grant funding to provide additional drought relief and resources to the City of Redding and its ratepayers.

The proposed DWR 2022 UCDRG Program application projects include:
• New production well installation in the southeast wellfield near the Stillwater Wastewater Treatment Plant, estimated cost $8 million;
• Development of a turf replacement incentive program for residential customers to reduce irrigation water demand. The cost of this program will be dependent on the State award, if any;
• Development and implementation of recycled water projects utilizing treated water from both wastewater treatment plants for irrigating parks and other open space, estimated cost $11 million; and
• Rehabilitation of existing drinking water wells to increase their production and treatment for removal of undesirable constituents, estimated cost $8 million.

The resolution has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to Request for Proposals, Schedule No. 5337, Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Utilities Cost-of-Service and Utility Rate Study Update Project:
(1) Award to NBS of San Francisco, California;
(2) Authorize the Mayor to execute a Consulting and Professional Services Contract for a not-to-exceed fee of $180,990 with NBS; and
(3) Authorize the City Manager to approve contract amendment increases up to $20,000.

Fiscal Impact
The Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Divisions have sufficient funds appropriated in the approved Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget for this project.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to award the Request for Proposals, Schedule No. 5337 (RFP) for the Cost-of-Service and Utility Rate Study and provide alternative direction to staff. This would result in the current rate structures remaining in place moving forward.

Implications of this alternative would result in insufficient revenue to align with expected expenses. This would also reduce the ability to fund needed capital projects and therefore risking infrastructure failures, public health and safety, and regulatory compliance action by State and Federal agencies.

Re: 4.11(b)--Award Request for Proposal No. 5337, Utility Rate Study Update Project Page 2 Background/Analysis
The most current Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Rate Study Program was adopted in 2020.

The rate structures for these utilities were approved by the City Council in February 2020. The approved rate structures included increases in years 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The proposed project will examine the rate structures of the Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Utilities moving beyond 2023. Utility rates are established to recoup the cost of providing and maintaining the City of Redding's (City) investment in Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste infrastructure, as well as the cost of providing these services to residents. The goal of this project is to develop rate structures that support the revenue required to operate and maintain the utilities while balancing the need to consider the impact to the ratepayers over the next four years (2024- 2027).

On November 1, 2022, a formal RFP, outlining the specific scope of work, was sent to five firms, posted on the City's Purchasing website, and advertised in the Record Searchlight.

Proposals were required to include a fee schedule for the entire scope of services. A single proposal and fee schedule was received on December 2, 2022, from NBS. Public Works Department staff evaluated the proposal based on the understanding of the scope of work, ability to meet the proposed schedule and maintain the project budget, experience and qualifications of the proposed staff, ability to work with community stakeholder groups, and commitment to the project. Minor scope modifications were requested by staff to encompass additional tasks for the project. NBS successfully prepared the previous utility rate study for the City and is familiar with the appropriate regulatory procedural process, current trends in utility funding, and the City’s utility structures to efficiently complete the proposed effort.

The contract has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.
