Agenda Packet — Redding City Council, May 2, 2023 (part 2 of 2)

1. Introduction
A. Purpose
The purpose of the REU Wildfire Prevention and Improved Response Program is to establish a framework for the electric utility to conduct an effective, coordinated program to prevent catastrophic impacts to its infrastructure from wildfire. This program is a significant component of the Redding Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan required by SB901. The Program aims to prevent the start of wildfires from utility operations as well as provide faster response in the event of a wildfire either caused by or threatening its electric utility assets located in and around the City of Redding.

B. Goals
x Prevent electric utility-caused wildfire.
x Reduce the time for the Redding Fire Department to respond to, and engage in fires that threaten grid infrastructure and the other REU facilities. x Increase staffing to respond to emergencies reasonably likely to impact REU facilities.
x Increase available personnel for debris removal after extreme weather events. x Create community awareness for utility wildfire prevention.

C. Objectives
The Program’s primary objectives are to:
x Identify hazards that pose a potential threat of damaging wildfires that may reasonably be likely to affect REU facilities.
x Prioritize prevention efforts.
x Implement measures targeting fuel reduction to minimize the probability of utility-caused fires or wildfire impacts to REU facilities. x Coordinate with fuel reduction efforts of other department and agencies. x Increase community education, outreach, and dialog.

2. Strategy/Scope of Work

1. Purpose
The Emergency Operations Program (EOP) is intended to provide structured guidance for REU staff to effectively manage emergency situations from an all-hazards approach. The all-hazards approach is based on the idea that while the causes and types of emergencies can vary widely with little predictability, the basic functions needed to respond are relatively similar from one event to the next.

Using a structured EOP based on the Incident Command System (ICS), this procedure provides instruction on the basic functions to be performed as well as providing decision-making processes to keep everyone that is involved on the same page with incident status, objectives, and resource requirements.

This EOP is intended to be both consistent with the ICS and to provide a scalable response from frontline REU employees to the Electric Director, and up to the City Manager, as well as the City Council. This EOP is also structured to follow the City of Redding (COR) Emergency Operations Plan and is a primary program element for REU’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

2. Scope
This procedure will focus on effectively managing emergencies that are either (1) impacting REU’s electrical facilities, equipment, staff, or (2) have a high potential of causing an emergency situation for REU in a similar fashion as above. The current operational risk environment requires REU to maintain an EOP with an ongoing planning and assessment lifecycle to incorporate best practices and lessons learned from past events.

For purposes of planning, the EOP will focus on these key functions for emergency management:
• Incident Command – Responsible for overall management of an incident at the REU Department Operations Center (DOC). The Incident Commander, Public Information Officer, Safety Officer, and the Liaison Officers will serve primary roles with the response units. • Operations – Actively seeks to preserve REU’s assets while restoring the system to normal conditions.
• Planning – Manages the planning process, tracks resources, develops status reports, and supports the production of the incident action plans.
• Logistics – Orders resources, anticipates supporting resources, and develops solutions to support Operations and Incident Command.
• Finance – Tracks costs, manages contracts, and administers the procurement process.

The scope of the EOP is concentrated from an REU centric approach with outreach on both a COR departmental and county wide geographic footprint. Geographic coordination may include (but is not limited to) other utilities, City, County, State and Federal agencies, California Office of Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. During Alert Level 3 conditions, REU will Packet Pg. 368 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update)

activate a Department Operations Center at the Redding Power Control Center to coordinate emergency situations as they may arise. The DOC will serve as the central point of command for REU staff, and will subordinate to any Emergency Operations Center activation by any local, state or federal authority.

3. Emergency Operations
The following section will provide the concept of emergency operations to be used as a general guide.

Not all emergencies will require the same level of action, nor will each emergency fall neatly within the lines of this EOP. By referencing this EOP and using these sections as an action guide REU should be positioned to manage emergency situations stemming from all-hazards.

3.1. Pre-Planning
If sufficient warning exists for the pre-planning of an emergency, an REU Leadership Team meeting will immediately be called to order by the Director or his designee to identify the hazard and begin the process of mobilization and activation of the EOP Alert process. Pre-planning, as discussed in Section

3.2, is to be considered an Alert 1 condition.

3.2. Initial Notification
Initial notification of an emergency can come from any source (internal or external). The primary sources of initial notification will typically be:
(1) An email alert to the REU Emergency Operations group email sent by the impacted Division Manager or Assistant Director, or
(2) The Power Control Center (PCC) Notice Generator (text alert).

Any REU staff member with information regarding a possible emergency shall immediately inform their manager or supervisor of the condition. The receiving manager or supervisor will immediately send an email to the REU Emergency Operations group email for distribution to all registered REU staff.

For emergency notifications originating from the activation of System Operating Procedure-24 REU Notification Plan (Attached), the Assistant Director of Utility Operations (or his designee) will immediately send an email to the REU Emergency Operations group.

The Director (or designee) will decide the appropriate Alert Level (see Section 3.3) after reviewing as much information regarding the emergency condition as possible. Example factors to be considered include the root cause, risk to staff and public, impact level (slight, moderate, high, severe), duration (short, medium, long, extensive) and mobilization requirements.

3.3. Alert Levels

• Post Alert Level 3 emergency activation, Management will conduct Critical Incident Debriefing with all employees impacted. Additionally, each Division will work with Personnel to provide Employee Assistance through the City of Redding Employee Assistance Program and other available resources.

4. Incident Command System (ICS) Structure
The commonly accepted National Incident Management System (NIMS), Incident Command System will be utilized by REU during emergency situations. The following roles, responsibilities and main focus will be assigned by position and may be delegated under an assumption of command approach. It is not feasible that every staff member will be available during an emergency to respond, therefore it is expected that REU staff will take delegation and command as appropriate.

Department Operations Center - In the event of an Alert Level 3 condition, a 24 hour per day Department Operations Center (DOC) will be mobilized at the Redding Power Plant Administration Building in Conference Room A. A Liaison Officer is responsible for the following items:
• Notification of activation to the City Manager’s Office (Emergency Services Director) • Coordination with any City, County or other agency Emergency Operations Center. • Preparation of RPP Conference Room A for DOC Activation. • Coordination with Logistics for necessary supplies.
• Coordination with Operations for necessary information technology.

1 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan May 2023
Objective
The objective of the 10-Year Capital Improvement Program is to enhance the distribution system in two ways:
• Selectively replace the components used on the electrical distribution system to reduce the probability that the system itself will initiate a fire. • Harden the electrical distribution system to better survive a fire.

These objectives will be achieved using the following five strategies:
• Enhanced inspections and tracking of assets;
• System hardening of key subsystems;
• Improved situational awareness;
• System improvements providing better operational practices; • The addition of switching to provide precision de-energization.

System Improvements Description
The suggested system improvements are proposed to be as described below:
1) Field Verify / T2 / T3 Boundary: The present CPUC maps defining the Tier 1, 2, and 3 boundaries were created as statewide maps that lack the detail necessary to accurately define the operation of the utility assets within the City of Redding (COR). An assessment will be performed to provide clarity of what the actual fire hazards are at critical locations on the REU distribution system. Mitigation shall be performed for certain circuits to allow the recloser operation to be reinstated and removed from the list shown in Attachment 2.
2) Perform necessary tree trimming and removal in priority areas. 3) Reconfigure specific Circuits to feed only Tier 1.
4) Install non-arcing arrestors, fuses, and squirrel guards and add covered wire jumpers. 5) Create 30-foot sterilized perimeter for T2 and T3 substations. 6) Apply fire retardant to poles for T2 and T3.
7) Install fault indicators in order to locate issues faster. 8) Install Mesh Network to retrieve fault and outage data. 9) Connect Line Fault Indicator data to SCADA.
10) Provide secondary water source to Power Plant.
11) Install additional 12KV switches at T1 boundary.
12) Install fast reclosers/sectionalizers at T1 boundary. 13) Convert overhead to underground for critical COR water plants. 14) Improve existing and add additional access roads to critical sections of the distribution system.
15) Replace existing 115KV poles with steel pole in T2 and T3 areas. 16) Convert overhead to underground where it is deemed cost effective. 17) Convert Keswick River Crossing from wood to steel.

System Improvements Timeline
Priority will be given to the improvements that can be deployed the earliest, with the largest estimated return in meeting the Program objectives. Improvements which require larger efforts such as city-wide studies and design consultant efforts will be implemented as they are completed.

TECHNOLOGY &

SOLUTIONS PROGRAM
Overview
Through the application of technology, REU will be able to more effectively protect and reduce threats to the electric utility infrastructure and the customers who rely upon it. The following technologies will greatly enhance REU’s ability to minimize sources of ignition, manage vegetation within the City’s electric grid, enhance productivity of utility staff, harden systems, more effectively protect and notify the public if an issue arises, as well as shorten the response and recovery time in the event REU equipment contributes to starting a wildfire.

Technology also helps to heighten situational awareness and enhances public safety response time, allowing first responders to react in an appropriate and effective manner before, during and after a wildfire. The Program provides funding to the Redding Police Department (RPD) and the City Information Technology (IT) Department for services rendered to help prevent REU caused wildfires and protect REU facilities from the threat of wildfires through aerial surveys of REU’s overhead electric lines, video monitoring of facilities, a common communication platform, and a GPS based vehicle tracking platform. The memorandums of understanding (MOUs) are attached.

Specifically, this program provides for an estimated total of forty (40) cameras; a common radio platform, including base stations, handhelds and vehicle mounted radios for REU personnel as well as radio equipment for Redding Police and Fire command Staff; and Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) tracking devices on all Electric Utility vehicles and necessary upgrades for first responder vehicles. The common communication and GPS vehicle tracking platforms will be expandable and be designed to allow easy adoption by other City Departments at a small incremental cost.

Cameras for Utility Operations, Fire Detection and Mitigation Situational awareness is instrumental in combating fires in and around our community. Camera technology is a vital element in the early detection and intrusion of wildland fires into the City of Redding. In addition, cameras provide critical information related to any REU equipment that may be a contributory cause to a fire. The installation of cameras in areas surrounding REU’s critical infrastructure will greatly enhance first responder’s ability to identify, locate, and mitigate fire threats.

Live feed cameras mounted throughout REU’s service territory will assist with the early detection of fires caused by the electric system. Strategically placed cameras in the proximity of REU’s transmission lines, especially in the Tier 2 and Tier 3 fire areas, will also aid in risk assessments during designated Red Flag warning days or a fire weather event in which an Emergency Operations Center is activated. Early assessment and detection allows REU to quickly react and prevent the system from inflicting harm on the surrounding areas.

Mobile cameras will also be used in a variety of preventative ways through the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This includes the identification of potential right-of-way hazards as well as the location and isolation of hot spots in REU distribution lines using Forward Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR) technologies.

Packet Pg. 388 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update)

APPENDIX E

TECHNOLOGY &

SOLUTIONS PROGRAM
In the event a fire is seen or reported, fixed cameras and UAVs can quickly discover and identify hot spots in the area, help determine the potential for the fire to spread, and give first responders specific intelligence related to scaling fire resources up or down appropriately. In addition, strategically placed fixed cameras assist first responders in determining the best evacuation routes through enhanced situational awareness. Fixed and UAV cameras allow firefighters and first responders to more effectively manage firefighting operations. Speakers mounted on UAVs greatly enhance the ability to communicate with first responders in the danger area and with citizen evacuations.

HD video streaming from the UAVs to the Department Operation Center (DOC) or command staff on computers/cell phones will allow those in control of fire operations to see a live, realtime video feed of the fire. This will streamline firefighting capabilities and enable command center personnel to make quick decisions based on real-time information, rather than using information that has been relayed through multiple parties or having to wait until first responders are in place. Command center personnel will be able to see the direction a fire is spreading, providing the ability to move resources to the most effective positions.

Implementation of an artificial intelligence overwatch camera and software system will assist in the early detection of fires. Fire watch systems are specifically manufactured for early wildfire detection and can be calibrated for any region, vegetation, and type of weather. This technology includes a triple optical sensing unit, control and detection software that performs selfdiagnostics, and smoke detection. While this technology is recommended to be used with a detection radius of ten (10) miles, it has proven itself capable of locating smoke plumes up to forty (40) miles away during clear weather days. When smoke is detected by the system it alerts users so that first responders can react quickly and efficiently before flames reach the tree tops.

Early detection of fire arising proximate to REU facilities using the system allows first responders to launch a direct attack using minimal resources and results in both physical and monetary savings to REU.

Fire caused by REU facilities or threatening REU facilities can rapidly becoming a city-wide threat to the inhabitants of the City. City-wide issues and concern can begin long before the cause of a fire is known due to lack of certainty. By determining the cause, or origin, of a fire quickly, we can not only save life and properties, we can mitigate the risk of uncertainty. In this regard, early detection of fire caused by REU facilities or threatening REU facilities protects the City as a whole.

Aerial Imagery
The city-wide aerial orthophotography is a core data set for the GIS Division. Aerial imagery or orthophotography provides the picture from which many GIS data layers are created and maintained. For example, our parcels, roads, water system, wastewater system, and storm drain system GIS layers are all created and maintained using high-resolution orthophotography. Also, high-resolution imagery is a powerful visual tool when represented on maps and exhibits. It is important that the imagery be kept up-to-date. The most recent aerial imagery was flown prior to the Carr fire, and is therefore not a true representation of our community’s current landscape.

Packet Pg. 389 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update)

APPENDIX E

TECHNOLOGY &

SOLUTIONS PROGRAM
New imagery would allow fire crews to be able to identify current overgrown areas proximate to REU facilities, as well as those areas at a higher risk of fires. Ensuring the imagery is kept up to date on a more frequent basis will play a critical role in ensuring fire crews are able to maintain a clearer/safer landscape around REU facilities as vegetation regrows. Newer imagery would allow for accurate GIS data, which in turn, would further enhance the City’s Fire Department in their fire mitigation efforts to enhance wildfire buffers around REU facilities. This imagery will be performed every two years.

City-Wide Communications Platform
Immediate and reliable communication is vital during an emergency such as a wildfire, or major storm event. The current City of Redding radio systems have reached their end of useful life and are requiring replacement. RPD is currently in the process of upgrading their existing radio system and REU is proposing to expand upon this project to include additional features that will meet Redding Electric Utility’s need to monitor and react to wildfire threat to REU facilities or to protect the City from wildfire threat posed by REU facilities while also creating a unified platform across City Departments. By implementing a unified stationary and mobile communication platform, City of Redding personnel will have the ability to communicate across Departments during emergency situations quickly and efficiently. This platform will provide immediate connection to all parties, free of cross-channel interference, allowing each Department to work simultaneously and in support of one another. In addition to purchasing the communications platform, REU will provide radios for Electric Utility employees and Redding Police and Fire command staff to ensure reliable communication between first responders and REU to ensure the preservation of life and property. *Initial costs associated with the communications platform will be paid by REU. The Redding Police Department will be responsible for a partial repayment for handheld and vehicle radios through an interdepartmental lease process.

This radio system will allow first responders to immediately report downed electric lines to REU or report a fire that has been started due to a downed line. This will lead to faster response times and better fire management. Direct radio communication between Redding Fire Department personnel to Police personnel will provide safe direction to high risk areas during evacuations as well as allow first responders to request specific power shutoffs from REU’s DOC during an emergency.

Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL)
AVL will assist each Department with the identification and tracking of first responder and emergency vehicles. During a wildfire event, it is critical for the Department Operations Center (DOC) to be able to determine the location of each vehicle so that resources can be dispatched and/or redirected to REU facilities in the most effective manner, and to identify where a vehicle is located so assistance may be provided if an employee is in danger. AVL aids in the identification of employee location during emergencies and allows dispatchers to warn personnel who are in the vicinity of an at-risk area.

Packet Pg. 390 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update)

APPENDIX E

TECHNOLOGY &

SOLUTIONS PROGRAM
AVL will allow REU to track the progress of employees while patrolling equipment during a Red Flag outage. By doing so, REU can ensure that outages are handled quickly and efficiently, and that employees are not at risk. If an emergency situation is identified, AVL will provide REU with the ability to quickly report a vehicle’s location and allow dispatchers to send first responders directly to the vehicle and employee(s).

1. Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to formalize and provide applicable REU employees with the information necessary to understand which procedures will be applied and what work may be accomplished during high fire threat conditions. These periods would include Fire Weather Watches and Red Flag Warnings as issued by the National Weather Service.

2. Applicability
All REU Electric Utility System Operators-Transmission & Distribution (EUSO-T&D), Electric Utility Assistant System Operators-Transmission & Distribution (EUASO-T&D), Electric Manager-Line, Electric Program Supervisors-Line, Electric Manager-Generation, Electric Program Supervisors-Generation, and all Qualified Electrical Workers.

3. Definitions

3.1. Fire Weather Watch (FWW): A FWW is typically issued to alert fire and land management agencies to the possibility that RFW conditions may generally exist within the next 12 to 48 hours in advance of the expected conditions, but can be issued up to 72 hours in advance if the NWS agency is reasonably confident. That watch then remains in effect until it expires, is canceled, or upgraded to a RFW.

3.2. Red Flag Warning (RFW): A RFW means warm temperatures, very low humidity, and stronger winds are expected to combine to produce an increased risk of fire danger. This informs affected parties and agencies that conditions are ideal for wildland fire combustion, and rapid spread. To the public, a RFW means high fire danger with increased probability of a quickly spreading vegetation fire in the area generally within the next 24 hours.

3.3. Automatic Circuit Reclosers (ACR): ACR’s, or reclosers, in electric power distribution, are a class of switchgear which is designed for use on overhead electricity distribution networks to detect and interrupt momentary faults. If a line or circuit trips because of an event, the automatic recloser opens, deenergizing the line or circuit. After a preset time, the device closes again, which reenergizes the line or circuit. If the condition that caused the event is still present, the device opens again. This sequence is repeated a predetermined number of times until the condition has cleared or the device locks out.

3.4. Tier 1: Tier 1of the CPUC Fire-Threat Map delineates the designation of the U.S. Forest Service and CALFIRE joint map of Tree Mortality High Hazard Zones

3.5. Tier 2: Tier 2 of the CPUC Fire-Threat Map delineates where there is an elevated risk for utility-associated wildfires

3.6. Tier 3: Tier 3 of the CPUC Fire-Threat Map delineates where there is an extreme risk for utility associated wildfires

3.7. Incident Command Structure (ICS): The ICS will be utilized by REU during emergency situations to delineate and delegate the various roles, responsibilities and main focus by employee position under an assumption of command approach.

Operating During High Fire Threat Conditions Version 5
- 3 -

3.8. Power Control Center (PCC): The PCC is the location of the E/U Distribution System Operators and shall serve as REU’s Department Operations Center during an Alert Level 3 event.

4. Communication

4.1.All communication associated with Red Flag Warning events shall be in accordance with SOP-024 “REU Notification Plan”

4.2.Refer to SOP-24 for the Notice Generator Contact List for RFW events.

5. National Weather Service Alert Issuances

5.1. When the NWS issues a weather alert, a corresponding email is sent to the PCC’s email inbox ([email protected]). The EUSO-T&D on duty shall then note the type, time, and details of the issuance in the Distribution Log and then notify the Fire Weather Group (Ref SOP-24 “REU Notification Plan”) of the alert via that group’s selection in the PCC Notice Generator. Should the NWS issuance later be cancelled or modified in any way of time, date, or severity, this shall also be noted in the Distribution Log and a subsequent notice shall be sent to the Fire Weather Group.

6. Reclosers

6.1. During periods in which the NWS has issued a RFW or at REU Management Discretion, the EUSO-T&D shall disable (cut-out) the reclosers (ACRs) for the circuits designated on the Tier 2/Tier 3 Affected Circuit List (see Attachment 2). The reclosers shall be cut-out at a time commensurate with the start time of the RFW issuance and shall be re-enable (cut-in) at the termination of the RFW event.

6.1.1.The EUSO-T&D shall disable the reclosers via SCADA by the following steps: The SCADA has a page option (list it) that contains the 12kV and 115kV circuits that need to have reclosing disabled when a RFW is issued. To access the page, use the “Red Flag” shortcut at the bottom of the “Circuits” page. When using the group command you use the “Execute” command, regardless if you are disabling or enabling reclosers; the command script toggles the position of all reclosers on that page. Once pressed, the Execute command turns on the script to complete the command which takes 60 to 90 seconds to execute. Please be patient, it should start about 10 seconds after the top of the minute.

6.1.2.If you place a control inhibit tag on a recloser that is on the list, the script will not operate that recloser. It is Distribution’s practice to place control inhibit tags on reclosers where a non-test has been issued. If you are switching, be aware of the potential impacts of transitioning out of RFW issuance procedure, you may need to add additional control inhibit tags to prevent unintended operations

6.1.3.The EUSO-T&D shall re-enable the reclosers, via SCADA, following the termination/cancellation of a RFW issuance by repeating the steps above, including reviewing the circuit reclosers for any applicable control inhibit tags.

6.1.4.Refer to SOP-21 Circuit Switching Guidelines for the general steps in Operating Under a Red Flag Warning.

7. Allowable Work Designations

7.1. Allowable work to be accomplished during a FWW or RFW event is dependent upon the Tier level (Tiers 1-3) the affected circuit, device, or equipment resides in. Each work type, Tier level, NWS issuance, and affected work group has allowable work that they may or may not perform during these events along with any type of additional restriction that may be placed upon that work as designated by the Allowable Work Matrix for NWS Alerts (Attachment 3).

7.2. The Redding Electric Scheduled Power Outage form (Attachment 4) allows for work in Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas, while under RFW issuances, provided that an exception is written by the requestor of the outage and the exception is signed (pre-approved) by either the Assistant Director of Utility Operations or the Line Manager for safety (this is work that can then be done regardless of weather conditions). An example of this might be a pole replacement in a Tier 3 zone but which is in an area, like a parking lot, that is completely void of vegetation and not subject to fire threat conditions.

8. SOP-200 Alert Level

8.1.Whenever an RFW event is announced for the Redding area, an SOP-200 Alert Level 1 shall be implemented by the REU Public Information Officer.

8.2. During an RFW where reclosers have been disabled the restoration process is usually more involved and takes considerably longer to identify the cause. Under the following conditions, a qualified representative from Operations management, typically the Line Manager or Supervisors, shall travel to the field and assist the assessment & restoration process by coordinating Troublemen, crew needs, and communication updates. This management representative shall be designated as the on-scene Incident Commander.

8.2.1. Full circuit outage, after business hours, where recloser logic has been disabled.

8.2.2. Multiple partial circuit outages, after business hours, where one troubleman is on duty.

8.2.3. A fire has been identified near the city limits threatening REU infrastructure.

8.2.4. A major Power Plant Outage has occurred.

8.2.5. A Restraint has been placed on the REU transmission system.

8.3. Upon assessment and confirmation of events listed in Section 7.2 (or similar events) the REU Public Information Officer shall issue an SOP-200 Alert Level 2 or 3 as determined by the Incident Commander.

8.3.1. The Incident Commander shall brief the REU Emergency Operations Team and request additional assistance as required.

8.3.2. Should the media be at the scene, the Incident Commander should brief the media when an official statement is requested from REU.

1. Scope
In conjunction with California Senate Bill (SB) 901, the City Council approved the Redding Electric Utility (REU) Wildfire Mitigation Plan (Plan) on December 3, 2019. The goals and objectives of the Plan included close monitoring and internal audits to reduce potential wildfire risks caused by or encroaching on Redding’s electric equipment and infrastructure. These goals are directly related to REU’s overarching objective of providing safe, reliable, and economical electric service to the Redding community. The Wildfire Mitigation Plan states, “Review of this Plan will occur annually, and any lessons learned will have the highest priority for improving steps in the plan, any reference programs, and the process for implementation.” Subject Matter experts within REU are responsible for the monitoring and auditing, which consisted of reviewing key elements within the Plan to document progress, identify deficiencies, improve both internal and external communications, and ensure REU continues to operate its electrical lines and equipment in a manner that minimizes the risk of catastrophic wildfire posed by its infrastructure.

2. Key Contributors
Implementation of the Wildfire Mitigation Plan is a collaborative effort with numerous City of Redding Departments working together in the areas of prevention and response, technology solutions, emergency operations, and the 10-year capital improvement plan. Information and data have been tracked throughout the 2022 calendar year to measure performance, deficiencies, and to make improvements to the Plan for upcoming years. Key City of Redding partners in the Plan include: Redding Electric Utility, Redding Police Department (RPD), Redding Fire Department (RFD), Information Technology, Parks, and Geographic Information Systems.

A. REU Wildfire Prevention & Improved Response Program
The purpose of the Wildfire Prevention & Improved Response Program within the Plan is to establish a framework for the electric utility to conduct an effective, coordinated program to prevent catastrophic impact on REU’s infrastructure from wildfire. During the 2022 calendar year, a number of goals and objectives were met as outlined within the Plan.

1. Goals
• Prevent electric utility-caused wildfire.
• Reduce the time for the Redding Fire Department to respond to and engage fires that threaten grid infrastructure and other REU facilities.
• Increase staffing to respond to emergencies reasonably likely to impact REU facilities. • Increase available personnel for debris removal after extreme weather events. • Create community awareness for utility wildfire prevention.

2. Actions Taken
• Added six (3) additional Firefighters for a total of 15 Firefighters for improved response to wildfires impacting the Redding community. One (1) Parks Superintendent, two (2) Arborist Lead Workers, and four (4) Public Works Maintenance Workers are also funded under the Wildfire Mitigation Plan. Continued to purchase all necessary tools and equipment for prevention and response during the calendar year 2022.

• Identified all high-risk vegetation clearance zones surrounding REU infrastructure, including the Redding Power Plant, substations, and transmission and distribution lines throughout REU’s service territory.
• Conducted the annual 115kV Line Inspections in high-risk Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas by September 30, 2022.
• Completed the annual patrol and visual inspection for vegetation of all remaining Tier 2 & Tier 3 12kV lines by September 30, 2022.
• The Operations Division posted a Vegetation RFP in early 2022 and the vendor, EDM was chosen. EDM is currently drafting the Utility Vegetation Plan with a targeted completion for the first quarter of 2023. Successfully cleared 20 unmanaged high-risk locations of vegetation and performed maintenance to 29 previously managed sites in an effort to reduce the risk of electric utility-caused fires or damage to REU’s infrastructure from wildfires. Parks Division vegetation crews mitigated approximately 209 acres of dense, high-risk vegetation.
• Parks Division vegetation crews created a 30-foot perimeter around 9 substations, and the Redding Power Plant, clearing approximately 70 acres in Tier 1, Tier 2, & Tier 3 Zones.
• REU Arborists inspected, patrolled, and cleared 314.74 of 315.1 acres of 115kV transmission lines in high-risk Tier 2 & Tier 3 areas to comply with California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and CAL FIRE requirements.
• REU arborists inspected, patrolled, and cleared 225.71 of 230.27 acres of 12kV distribution lines in high-risk Tier 2 & Tier 3 areas to comply with CPUC and CAL FIRE requirements.
• REU Arborists trimmed 3,281 trees and removed another 703 trees directly impacting transmission and distribution power lines to reduce the threat of potential fire. • Wrapped 397 critical power poles located within high-risk areas with fire retardant material and cleared a 30-foot radius of vegetation around each pole during the fire season.
• Utilized an outside agency for goat vegetation management to clear approximately 147 acres of 21 high-risk and difficult-to-access green belt locations throughout the community.
• Provided information to the community related to all 11 Red Flag Warnings issued by the National Weather Service through social media accounts and REU web pages. • Through the efforts of REU Staff, the City of Redding successfully applied for a 2021-22 CAL FIRE Fire Prevention Grant. The City was awarded $520,083.00 for developing a City of Redding Community Fire Risk Reduction Program (Program). The Program is a comprehensive approach to engage the community in collaborative long-term wildfire risk reduction and associated greenhouse gas emission avoidance. The program dovetails planning, outreach, and on-the-ground fuel reduction activities so as to maximize community engagement and expedite risk reduction.

The purpose of the REU Technology Solutions Program is to protect and reduce threats to the electric utility infrastructure and the customers who rely upon it through the application of technology. The following technologies have been identified to minimize sources of ignition, manage vegetation within the City’s electric grid, enhance the productivity of utility staff, harden systems, and more effectively protect as well as notify the public if an issue arises. In addition, the listed technologies are intended to aid in the response and recovery time in the event of a wildfire.

1. Goals
• Prevent electric utility-caused wildfires.
• Increase technology use and reliability to promote interdepartmental coordination in the event of a wildfire caused by or impacting the Redding community. • Decrease response time for emergency responders to engage in emergencies that threaten grid infrastructure and other REU facilities.

2. Actions Taken
Aerial Imagery
• A city-wide aerial orthophotography project for vegetation canopy analysis was completed on November 5, 2020. This project is actively utilized and provides clear data layers related to overgrown vegetation proximate to REU facilities, as well as those areas at a higher risk of fires. Up-to-date imagery will continue to play a critical role in ensuring REU Arborists, RFD, and Parks Division crews are able to maintain a safer landscape around REU facilities and infrastructure. This program is scheduled to be completed every two years. In October 2022, a study was conducted on the vegetation canopy within the city limits, identifying private property areas with high vegetation outside the parameters related to the utility. This data may help to quantify the potential wildfire dangers within the city limits and possible vegetation management efforts. In addition, the analysis showed an increased fire risk to the community near outdoor camping sites on public property. Studies will continue during the 2023 fire season.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)
• The purchase and training related to UAVs were completed May 19, 2020, enabling aerial patrol of overhead lines using Forward Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR). UAVs have been used in the field throughout 2022 for public safety monitoring. Additionally, the program assists both RPD and RFD in monitoring fires as well as the investigation process to determine fire origination and initial cause. With the completion of the Emergency Operation Center (EOC), UAV cameras are able to stream live video from the field directly to the EOC as needed.

Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR)
• After completion of the Tier 3 areas west of Redding in 2020, REU utilized the same contract firm, Quantum Spatial, to continue the vegetation survey for the rest of REU’s system in Tier 1 & 2 areas in 2021, using the LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) Packet Pg. 416 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) Wildfire Mitigation Plan Report

technology. LIDAR was not performed in 2022. The precise data was also used as an import to the PLS Cadd system to better model the construction of the existing transmission facilities.

Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL)
• The AVL program is critical to identify and track first responders and other emergency vehicles during events such as a wildfire. RPD patrol vehicles and RFD vehicles have been equipped with AVL devices. The City of Redding Information Technology Department worked to equip RPD Investigations vehicles and all REU vehicles with AVL devices in addition to police patrol cars and fire apparatus vehicles. The AVL system is online and part of the new EOC at REU’s Avtech Parkway Headquarters. The AVL system continues to be a valuable tool to ensure resources are dispatched efficiently to both emergencies as well as outages.

City-Wide Cameras
• The installation of cameras for REU operations, fire detection, and mitigation are critical in combating fires that may impact the electric infrastructure. Two camera systems are currently being implemented. Strategic sites in the proximity of REU’s lines and facilities were identified for the first set of fixed cameras with a live feed. Initial installation steps began in June 2020. Additionally, fixed cameras will continue to be installed at critical infrastructure sites throughout 2023. The second camera program is associated with IQ FireWatch. The City Council approved the purchase of IQ FireWatch cameras and displays on June 16, 2020. The IQ FireWatch camera technology provides early notifications of smoke up to 10 miles outside the City limits. Three key sites for camera installation were identified, and contracts with vendors were approved for construction to begin in December 2020. The project was completed on May 1, 2021, and active during the 2021 and 2022 fire seasons. An external alarm company monitored the cameras 24 hours a day from May 1, 2021, through November 30, 2021, and May 1, 2022, through November 30, 2022.

Fixed and Mobile City-Wide Communications Platform
• The need for reliable communication is vital during emergencies such as wildfires, and the City’s current radio systems required replacement. A needs assessment and careful analysis of the RPD, RFD, REU, and SHASCOM’s system needs began in early 2020. A contract between the City of Redding and Motorola Radio Communications was approved by the City Council, and the implementation of a new citywide fixed communications platform started in January 2021. The collaborative effort with several City of Redding Departments and outside industry experts was completed during the 4th quarter of 2022. Redding Police and Electric Departments successfully transitioned to the new radio system in July 2022. In addition, five radio desk sets were programmed and placed in the EOC at Avtech Parkway and one within the Redding Police Records Division. Redding Fire Department’s transition was delayed due to the 2022 fire season however they successfully moved to the new system in December of 2022.

command communication platform was approved by the City Council on October 6, 2020, and was completed in July 2021. The Mobile Command Center has been continually utilized for emergency responses throughout 2021, as well as emergency incident training, special events, and during a large hazmat spill in downtown Redding in January 2022.

Department Operations Center (DOC)
• A majority of the data, imagery, and communication resources from the Technology Program have been integrated into a Department Operations Center at REU’s Avtech Parkway headquarters. This facility was designated by the City Council as the City’s new Emergency Operations Center (EOC) following its completion during the second quarter of 2021. The technology includes aerial Imagery, real-time UAV imagery, automatic vehicle locations, fixed cameras, IQ FireWatch, unified communications, and REU system data received and managed through the DOC. REU and the City of Redding can now coordinate with partner agencies, communicate with customers and the media, and most importantly, ensure field staff has access to evolving real-time information during emergency operations. An action committee has been established to prioritize improvements to the information fed into the DOC. The objective will be to ensure that all data available is connectable, robust, and accurate with qualified, trained personnel to use, rather than creating new data.

C. REU Emergency Operation Program
The purpose of the REU Emergency Operations Program (EOP) is intended to provide structured guidance for REU staff to effectively manage emergencies from an all-hazards approach and is modeled after the ICS structure followed by the City of Redding’s Emergency Operations Plan.

1. Goals
• Operational readiness for staff to effectively and efficiently manage all aspects of a large emergency such as a wildfire.
• Communicate timely information to all stakeholders, including staff, customers, City Management, the City Council, and the media.
• Establish clear roles and tasks for REU staff within the Emergency Operations structure under Incident Command.

2. Actions Taken
• The REU Emergency Operations Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) was activated six (6) times for a total of 10 days during the 2022 calendar year as a result of the National Weather Service issuing Red Flag Warnings for the Redding area. • REU conducted an emergency drill on March 29, 2022, to ensure operational readiness for the wildfire season. An additional drill was completed on November 16, 2022. • The Emergency Operations SOP was activated during the Flanagan Fire on March 4, 2022, and the Branstetter Fire on September 1, 2022.

• An Emergency 911 software application was installed at the Power Control Center, providing immediate notifications directly from SHASCOM of wildfires in or near the City of Redding limits.
• An inter-agency cooperation and communication protocol continues to be updated with Shasta County Health and Human Services.
• REU Communications actively posted Red Flag notifications to the public and news media through social media, REU’s website, and press releases. • REU successfully implemented a new emergency notification system through the Civic Ready platform for email and text notifications to City employees related to urgent communications.
• New P25 Motorola radio system implemented in 2022 for internal and interdepartmental communications. Mobile radios were installed in all designated REU Distribution vehicles, and new handheld radios were distributed to field staff.

D.REU Distribution 10-Year Capital Improvement Program
The purpose of the Distribution 10-Year Capital Improvement Program is to enhance the distribution system by replacing specific components to reduce the probability that the system will initiate a fire and harden the electrical distribution system to better survive a fire initiated by other sources. In order to complete the necessary system hardening efforts within the required timeline, including fuse and arrestor replacement and additional circuit reclosers, contract line workers will need to be utilized to supplement REU’s workforce. REU Line personnel are currently unable to take on these significant improvement projects due to the required routine maintenance of the existing infrastructure and multiple vacant positions.

For a timeline of present and future improvement work items, see the chart on page 11. Listed below are specific actions taken to date to work towards the stated goals.

1. Goals
• Enhanced inspections and tracking of assets.
• System hardening of key subsystems.
• Improved situational awareness.
• System improvements providing better operational practices. • The addition of switching to provide precision de-energization.

2. Actions Taken
• Modifications were made to one additional 12kV distribution circuit, allowing the automatic reclosing action to be re-enabled for this circuit during Red Flag Warnings.

To date, a total of five circuits have had reclosing re-enabled since the implementation of the Plan.
• A Work Order has been created for priority work in Tier 3 and Tier 2 areas. This effort will fire harden an additional 11 circuits, which will allow their automatic reclosing action to be re-enabled during Red Flag Warnings.

purchased, received and installation is approximately 90% complete and projected to be completed before the 2023 fire season.
• To date, 295 fault indicators for overhead circuits have been installed at strategic locations to aid the Troublemen to more quickly identify the location of the faulted line resulting in reduced customer restoration times. In addition, fault indicators have been installed at four underground locations, with an additional 40 locations identified for installation. The underground circuits tend to be the most time-consuming construction type to both troubleshoot and isolate the faulted location. • GIS Software is being upgraded to expand the use of tablet-based inspection for overhead lines and vegetation management. This will greatly improve the identification and tracking of hazards found, work performed, and work remaining over the present paper-based system.
• Engineering finalized all animal-related system hardening construction standards on April 6, 2021. Materials were purchased for animal guards and covered jumper wires, and installation is 90% complete for priority Tier 3 areas. This will help reduce outages and occasional fires initiated by animal and tree contact with exposed conductorsin the high-fire threat areas.
• Engineering finalized all construction standards on April 6, 2021, for the installation of non-arcing fuses and non-arcing surge arrestors to be implemented in Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas. Materials have been purchased, and installation is 90% complete for priority Tier 2 and Tier 3 hazard areas.
• An improved customer-facing, web-based outage map was created for improved customer awareness of outages and restoration times. The system is accessible on the REU web page and became operational at the end of October 2021. • As of December 22, 2022, 397 out of 800 wooden poles in high fire threat zones have been wrapped with fire retardant webbing.

E. Audit Findings

1. Audit Findings Related to CPUC Fire Threat Map
• The CPUC Fire Threat map was reviewed for changes on December 29, 2022. No boundary changes were noted for the 2022 calendar year. • Previously modified 12kV circuits were evaluated for compliance with the mitigation recommendations to keep these circuits on the Circuit Recloser Enabled list. • Vegetation mitigation efforts, approved by the Redding Fire Marshall, on June 21, 2021, were repeated in the spring of 2022 for the 12kV circuits allowing their addition to the Circuit Recloser Enabled list.

2. Audit Findings Related to Fire Ignitions.
• Number of fires caused by REU facilities:

12/27/22 J.E.22.12.084 Tier 2 Secondary Tree

4. Identifying Corrective Deficiencies in the Plan:
• REU has not received any notice of deficiencies or potential deficiencies in the 2022 calendar year, and there are no logged deficiencies to report.

5. Monitoring the Effectiveness of the Inspections:
• Inspection reports and progress have been reviewed quarterly for overhead lines. After creating dedicated Electrical Inspector positions, completion of critical inspections has significantly improved for both overhead & underground inspections. Additionally, REU is implementing an improved software-based Workforce Management System and Mimms-based inspection, implemented by SSP Innovations, to ensure that the inspections/repair process is being performed to industry best practices. • Overhead LIDAR Surveys of REU’s transmission and distribution system used in 2020 and 2021 to confirm the effectiveness of the past vegetation inspection program. REU intends to repeat the Lidar survey approximately every 3rd year. In 2022, REU initiated using contract inspectors, EDM Intl, to perform a detailed GIS-based vegetation inspection of all 12kV primary areas. Tier 1 areas had been deemed the lowest priority in previous years, but now the focus is to complete new priorities found by the detailed inspections per best practices and CPUC, General Order-95.

F. Lessons Learned to Incorporate into Future Plans
• The number of transmitting fault indicators has been increased with the completion of repeaters at the substations. Non-transmitting fault indicators have also been determined as adequate and more flexible in deployment for rapid identification of the faulted line portion. This information is helpful since the disabling of automatic circuit reclosers greatly increased the outage time before restoration. • The Priority 1, Non-arcing surge arrestors and fuses for the 12kV distribution are nearly complete. The Priority 2 equipment is taking considerably longer than anticipated due to the number of crews available, the customer outage notification process, and the large number of locations to be modified. The completion date for this effort was extended an additional year.
• The initial concept of pre-spraying the power poles in the high-risk areas with fire retardant prior to fire season was a great effort for staffing. New technology has been developed which wraps the base of the pole with a fire-retardant webbing. REU’s design standards have been modified and material purchased allowing REU to phase out the spraying process and focus on the application of the pole webbing. As noted above, over 300 poles were wrapped during the 2022 calendar year.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving an adjustment to the RIEO Supervisory/Confidential Exempt and the RIEO CTP Exempt Schedule of Classifications and Wage Rates, for salary increases for the Engineer series and Construction Manager classifications effective July 23, 2023.

Fiscal Impact
The estimated total compensation cost, including salary and benefits, to increase wages of the Engineer series and Construction Manager classifications along with an additional seven percent increase on July 23, 2023, and three percent increase on July 21, 2024, is $445,044. There is no impact to the General Fund due to applicable cross-charging associated with the engineering work performed.

Alternative Action
The City Council could decline to approve the resolution, and the salary increases would not occur.

Background/Analysis
The Public Works Department has had difficulty recruiting and retaining employees in the Assistant Engineer, Associate Engineer, Senior Engineer, and Construction Manager classifications. Reasons for these challenges include having an extremely competitive job market and the difficulty in attracting qualified candidates. Salary studies show the City of Redding’s (City) wage rates for these classifications are significantly lower than local competitive agencies, including the County of Shasta and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

MEETING DATE: May 2, 2023
ITEM NO. 9.15(a)
FROM:
***APPROVED BY***
[email protected] [email protected]
SUBJECT: 9.15(a) - Consider Resolution amending the Redding Independent Employees' Organization (RIEO) Supervisory/Confidential Exempt and the Clerical, Technical and Professional (CTP) Exempt Schedule of Classifications and Wage Rates.

Kelley Martinez, Interim
Personnel Director
Packet Pg. 424
Report to Redding City Council April 26, 2023
Re: 9.15(a)--Salary schedule changes for RIEO Engineers & Construction Manager Page 2 RIEO members are scheduled to receive a five percent wage increase in July 2023, and another five percent wage increase in July 2024. However, even after these increases, the Engineer series and Construction Manager classifications will continue to be below local market wage rates.

Therefore, in order to remain competitive for these select positions in the local labor market, it is recommended that the City increase the wage rates for the Assistant Engineer, Associate Engineer, Senior Engineer, and Construction Manager classifications by an additional seven percent in 2023, and three percent in 2024, which added to the already schedule increases for RIEO would total 12 percent in 2023, and eight percent in 2024.

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

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Government of the 21st Century – “Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today’s residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better decisions today.”
