CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions:
(1) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to appropriate Encampment Resolution Funding Round 2, Lookback Disbursement grant funds, in the amount of $950,000, received from the California Department of General Services – Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency, pursuant to the parameters of the Standard Agreement (C9579); and (2) Find that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301 through 15333.

Fiscal Impact
There is no impact to the General Fund, and the Encampment Resolution Funding Round 2, Lookback Disbursement (ERF-2-L) grant funds do not require matching funds.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose to reject the ERF-2-L grant award. However, in doing so, it would impede the ability of the City of Redding (City) to provide opportunities for the Lost Lane Encampment (Encampment) unsheltered population to transition into non-congregate shelter with supportive services.

Background/Analysis
Under ERF-2-L, the City received $950,000 in grant funds. On January 23, 2023, a Standard Agreement detailing the budget, scope of work, and terms and conditions of the funding was executed with the intent to assist with the cost of the Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT) officers in providing outreach to unsheltered persons in the encampment and connecting those persons with shelter/housing options and supportive services providers.

Report to Redding City Council April 27, 2023
Re: 4.2(a)--Appropriate Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF-2-L) Award Page 2 Once sheltered, the supportive services providers will connect folks with pathways toward safe and stable housing and other community resources, thereby enabling former encampment residents to participate in housing resources or other community resources such as drug rehabilitation.

Allowing the City Manager to appropriate the funding within the grant parameters provides the necessary flexibility to expend the funds in the most effective manner to achieve the grant outcomes.

Environmental Review
This project is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301 through 15333 pursuant to the following categorical exemptions: actions by regulatory agencies for protection of the environment and natural resources, and leasing new facilities. In addition, National Environmental Policy Act does not apply to this project as federal funds are not expected to be expended under this project.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to sign the Fifth Amendment to the Professional Services and Consulting Agreement with No Boundaries Transitional Housing, Inc., (C-9479), increasing the contract by $343,500, for a total contract amount not to exceed $1,276,800, thereby adding 20 more rooms with 116 beds to assist the unsheltered population.

Fiscal Impact
The $349,560 increase in the contract will be funded primarily through the Encampment Resolution Grant along with other Housing Division resources that include the Permanent Local Housing Allocation, Successor Housing Agency, and Affordable Housing Loan Funds. The proposed request will have no impact to the General Fund.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to authorize the amendment. This would reduce the availability of interim housing units available within the community.

Background/Analysis
The City of Redding (City) has been working on several initiatives to assist the unsheltered within the community. One important initiative involves increasing the number of low-barrier shelter units with supportive services and/or case management. In August 2022, the City moved forward with executing an agreement with No Boundaries Transitional Housing, Inc., (No Boundaries), which is a non-profit provider that initially secured 32 supportive housing units with a total of 50 beds. In November 2022, the unit number increased from 32 to 46, providing 26 more beds and offering additional support to the Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT) and its efforts to house the unsheltered.

Report to Redding City Council April 27, 2023
Re: 4.2(b)--Fifth Amendment to C-9479 with No Boundaries Transitional Housing, Inc. Page 2 In November 2022, the first amendment was completed, thereby increasing the contract budget to $294,360. Under this amendment, the City Manager was authorized the ability to extend the contract and increase the budget as a minor amendment to the contract.

In February 2023, a second amendment was executed, providing an additional one-month extension to the contract and increased the contract to $349,560.

In March 2023, a third amendment was executed, providing an extension of the contract through April 15, 2023, and increased the total budget to $381,990. The third amendment also included a negotiated increase in the room rate between No Boundaries and the property owner.

On April 4, 2023, a fourth amendment extended the contract through December 31, 2023, and increased the budget by $551,310 for a total contract amount of $933,300.

The subject fifth amendment seeks to add 20 additional units, with 40 beds, at a second location and increases the budget by $343,500 for a new contract amount of $1,276,800. The increase in budget is supported by the recently awarded, Encampment Resolution Funding Grant to assist with obtaining additional rooms for those persons transitioning out of the Lost Lane Encampment.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions:
(1) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with Dawson Homes to prepare a Disposition and Development Agreement for the potential disposition of City of Redding-owned property located at 1313 Rose Lane and preparation of a disposition and development agreement to facilitate the potential mixed development of residential units on said property; and
(2) Find that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301 through 15333 based on the following categorical exemptions: feasibility and planning studies and surplus government property sales.

Fiscal Impact
Any funds realized from the sale of the 1313 Rose Lane Property (Property) would be deposited into the Low-Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund to be utilized for income-eligible activities or housing projects.

Alternative Action
Should the City Council (Council) wish to modify the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (Agreement), any such modifications would require approval of Dawson Homes. Should the Council decide not to authorize the Agreement, the property will be marketed to another developer.

Background/Analysis
At its March 4, 2008, meeting, the Council adopted a resolution declaring the property surplus.

Pursuant to State law, the property was made available for sale or lease for affordable housing purposes prior to the City of Redding’s (City) disposition. As such, in 2008, the former Redding Redevelopment Agency (RRA) purchased the City-owned property.

Report to Redding City Council April 27, 2023
Re: 4.2(c)--Authorize City Manager or Designee to Execute ENA Page 2 On February 1, 2012, the RRA was dissolved pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 34161-34166 and the Council elected for the City to serve as the Successor Housing Agency to the former RRA pursuant to Resolution 2012-0007. All former RRA housing property assets were transferred to the City. On June 1, 2021, the Council once again determined the subject property to be surplus via Resolution 2021-061, and pursuant to the Surplus Land Act, has been cleared for disposition by the California Department of Housing and Community Development.

On January 3, 2023, staff received a letter of interest from Dawson Homes regarding the property. Dawson Homes is under the sole ownership of Sam Dawson, a licensed general contractor and Division President for a local array of lumber and building supply companies.

Many developers have expressed interested in the property over the years, but to date, Dawson Homes is the only prospective purchaser that has shown a bona fide interest in the property by providing a written request to that effect with an accompanying deposit of $1,000.

The subject property is north of, and adjacent to, Fire Hall No. 8, surrounded by single family residences on the north, east, and west. An Alzheimer’s care center is located south of the fire station. The parcel is unimproved and is designated Residential 10 to 20 dwelling units per acre under the City’s General Plan. The property is level, located on an arterial, and has all public utilities available, making it an ideal site for an income-qualifying housing development. A map depicting the location of the property is included within the attached agreement.

Should the Council approve the execution of the agreement, Dawson Homes will complete its due diligence, including obtaining an appraisal of the property, analyzing potential design and use, and compiling a budget proforma and performance schedule for the eventual development of income-eligible housing. Staff, in anticipation of the developer’s acquisition of the property, will create a disposition and development agreement (DDA) that will detail the acquisition, design, development, construction and marketing of any resulting project. The DDA, once drafted, will come back to the Council for review and approval at a future date.

Environmental Review
The project is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15312 (Surplus Government Property Sales) and no further actions are required at this time. Any future development on the property, along with the DDA, will be analyzed separately for its environmental impact.

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.”
• Communication Goal – “Improve the quality and quantity of communication with the public and City employees to enhance knowledge and increase transparency to improve public trust.”
• Economic Development Goal – “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.”

EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATING AGREEMENT
[1313 Rose Lane , Redding, CA 96003 (Property)]
This Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (Agreement) is made by and between the City of Redding, a municipal corporation and general law city ("City") serving as the Successor Housing Agency to the Redding Redevelopment Agency and Dawson Homes, a California sole proprietorship ("Developer").

RECITALS
A On February 1, 2012, the Redding Redevelopment Agency (RRA) was dissolved pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 34161 - 34166.

B. The City elected to serve as the Successor Housing Agency for the former RRA.

C. RRA real property housing assets were transferred to the City and subsequently approved by the State Department of Finance in August 2012.

D. On January 1, 2020, updates to legislation known as the Surplus Property Act ( assembly Bill 1486) were enacted by the State of California, redirecting the process by which cities dispose of public land.

E. On June 1, 2021, the Property, pursuant to Resolution 2021-061 was declared surplus property and is depicted on the map attached and incorporated herein as Exhibit A (the "Property").

F. Pursuant to Government Code 54222, no notice has been received by a qualified purchaser electing to purchase or lease the property.

G. City has identified Developer as an entity with which the City may negotiate exclusively for a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) pertaining to the Property.

H. City and Developer desire to provide for those exclusive negotiations and for completion of certain tasks during the term of this Agreement and prior to an execution of a DDA.

THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties, City and Developer agree as follows:

SECTION 1. SCOPE OF WORK - FEASIBILITY ACTIVITIES.

A. During the term of this Agreement, Developer shall analyze the residential housing market and prepare a project description that includes conceptual plans, preliminary budget, proforma, and a performance schedule with sufficient detail to submit to the City for conceptual review and approval. At the end of the term, the Developer will submit, in writing, a notification to proceed or not to Packet Pg. 137 Attachment: Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (4.2(c)--Authorize City Manager or Designee to Execute ENA) B. During the term of this Agreement, Developer may compile plans and other information needed to complete the development of the Property other than a building permit, including necessary enviromnental review. All plans and other information shall be consistent with the scope of development described in Section l .C. below unless the City approves a variation from that scope.

C. City and Developer contemplate that the development of the Property specified in the DDA will involve the acquisition, design, development, construction, and marketing of a residential housing project including affordable and market-rate residential units on the Property. Given the property is a former RRA Property, the minimum affordability for a multifamily project is 55 years and 45 years for single-family development.

D. Should City and Developer ultimately agree to and enter into a DDA, City intends to convey fee title to the Property subject to the terms of the DDA. Further, City intends to provide assistance to facilitate the development of housing that is affordable to low- or moderate-income persons should it be determined by City that such assistance is required to enable development of such housing and available for such purpose.

E. City shall make the Property available to Developer for all Developer investigations pertaining to this Section 1.

SECTION 2. NEGOTIATIONS - RESERVATIONS.

A. City and Developer shall negotiate in good faith toward a DDA for the Property.

B. During the term of this Agreement, the City shall not negotiate with any other person or entity for disposition and development of the Property.

C. Notwithstanding Section 2.A. and 2.B., this Agreement does not obligate the City or the Developer to enter into a DDA or any other contractual obligation, or enter into a DDA on any particular tenns.

D. Furthermore, this Agreement does not obligate the City to approve any particular project. Developer acknowledges and agrees that the City maintains their discretion to approve or deny any particular project.

SECTION 3. DEPOSIT.

A. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Developer will pay the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) to the City of which will be used as a deposit against City fees for application processing contemplated under Section l.B. above, including initiation of the environmental review, and for other related tasks the City unde11akes pursuant to this Agreement including, but not limited to, review by outside legal counsel, financial analyst, or other consulting professionals. The Deposit shall not be construed as consideration paid to the City, but is held by the City in trust for the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement
Dawson Homes Page 2 of 6
Packet Pg. 138 Attachment: Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (4.2(c)--Authorize City Manager or Designee to Execute ENA) benefit of Developer.

B. If this Agreement is terminated or the end of the term is reached without the City and Developer entering into a DDA, then the City shall promptly return to Developer the remaining balance.

C. If the City and Developer do enter into a DDA prior to the end of the term of this Agreement, then the remaining balance, if any, shall become a deposit pursuant to the DDA and shall be disposed of in the manner agreed between the City and Developer in the DDA.

SECTION 4. TERM AND TERMINATION.

A. The term of this Agreement shall be twelve (12) months from the Effective Date of this Agreement unless terminated earlier pursuant to this Section.

B. Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause upon 30 days written notice.

C. This Agreement terminates immediately should the Developer choose to execute a Purchase and Sales Agreement wherein the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the Property is paid in full, without seller carryback financing. Purchasing the property for FMV, without seller carryback financing eliminates the need for the Developer to comply with Section 1.C. of this Agreement.

SECTION 5. INDEMNITY.

Developer hereby agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless, City, its officers, elected or appointed officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses,judgments, demands, penalties, fines, defense costs, and consequential damage or liability of any kind or nature, however caused, arising directly or indirectly out of the obligations or operations herein undertaken by Developer, caused in whole or in part by any act or omission of the Developer, any contractor or subcontractors, any person directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, including but not limited to concurrent active or passive negligence, except where caused by the active negligence, sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City. Developer will conduct all defense at its sole cost and expense and City shall have right to approve or disapprove legal counsel retained to defend City. The City shall be reimbursed for all costs and attorney's fees incurred in enforcing this obligation. This indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Developer.

F. In the event of a dispute between the parties hereto over the meaning of this Agreement, no party shall be deemed to have been the drafter hereof, and the principle of law set forth in Civil Code 1654 that contracts are constructed against the drafter shall not apply.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution compelling removal of the billboard owned by Orion Outdoor Media adjacent to Interstate 5, state outdoor advertising number 22024 at state postmile 12.48 L, which eliminates a legal non-conforming sign, satisfies the request of the billboard owner, and will not result in the expenditure of City of Redding funds.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact from adopting the resolution.

Alternative Action
The City Council may choose to not adopt the resolution and provide direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
In March 2023, the City of Redding (City) was contacted by Orion Outdoor Media requesting to remove and relocate of one of its billboard signs. The billboard is located adjacent to the Interstate 5 freeway and just north of the new Costco development, as shown on Attachments A and B. California Business and Professions Code 5412 encourages “local entities and display owners to enter into relocation agreements … and to adopt ordinances or resolutions providing for relocation of displays.” Accordingly, before the California Department of Transportation approves removal and relocation of the billboard it requires Orion Outdoor Media to secure a resolution from the City compelling removal of the billboard.

Report to Redding City Council April 27, 2023
Re: 4.4(a)--Adopt Resolution Compelling Removal of Interstate 5 Advertising Billboard Page 2 Redding Municipal Code 18.42.080 prohibits billboards. Because this billboard was erected prior to the drafting of the code, it is considered a legal non-conforming sign. Removal of this billboard will eliminate this non-conformity. Additionally, removal of the billboard would normally constitute a “taking” and therefore require the City to pay just compensation to the billboard owner; however, the proposed resolution allows for the removal and relocation of the sign in lieu of just compensation and without expenditure of public funds.

Orion Outdoor Media has contacted the property owner, as well as the Redding Rancheria, the current advertiser on the billboard, and notified both entities of its intent to remove the billboard.

In recognition of the Redding Rancheria losing this advertisement space, Orion Outdoor Media plans to offer alternative advertisement space to the Redding Rancheria on a billboard it owns north of the City.

Environmental Review
Adopting the resolution is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act and therefore no further action is required.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 89th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2021-078 amending appropriations for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) projects to include:
deferred General Fund facility maintenance, Redding Fire and Police Department (RPD) vehicle purchases, funding of RPD’s Beat 8 and Park Ranger positions through Fiscal Year 2025-26.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund by approving staff recommendation. If the budget resolution is not approved, there will be a fiscal impact or a modification to services recommended to City Council (Council) for further consideration.

Alternative Action
The Council could provide alternative direction to staff regarding modifications to the ARPA expenditure plan.

Background/Analysis
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law H.R. 1319 – American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The City of Redding (City) was allocated $18,693,433, which was slated to be paid in two tranches. The first tranche was received on May 21, 2021, and approximately a year later the second tranche was received. Staff brought multiple informational items to the Council regarding the funding and possible usage, and the first of which was presented June 1, 2021.

On February 17, 2022, staff presented a recommended plan to the Council regarding the allocation of the ARPA funds. Subsequently, on March 10, 2022, the Council approved the plan regarding the ARPA expenditures. This included $4 million dollars for a citywide fiber ring to support broadband infrastructure and $2.5 million for infrastructure improvements at Stillwater MEETING DATE: May 2, 2023

Report to Redding City Council April 27, 2023
Re: 4.10(a)--ARPA project and budget modifications Page 2 Business Park.

On May 3, 2022, the Council voted to amend the original allocation for the broadband project by reducing it by $750,000 to $3.25 million in order to fund the Riverfront Specific Plan.

As staff began preparing for the 2023-25 Biennial Budget, it was clear that the major tax revenues were going to cause difficulties in presenting a balanced budget and 10-year plan. At the first Biennial Budget Workshop meeting on February 16, 2023, staff recommended that the Council consider amending the ARPA plan. Specifically, staff believes priorities have changed regarding broadband and Stillwater Business Park infrastructure expenditures. This was due in part to the expected difficulties in the budget development process due to the decreased tax revenues expected, specifically with sales tax revenue. The Council approved redirecting the remaining $5.75 million dollars that had been allocated to the broadband and Stillwater Business Park infrastructure projects to General Fund expenditures.

Staff recommends approving to use the $5.75 million in question in the following ways:
• $750,000 to fund deferred General Fund facility maintenance; • $2 million for Police and Fire ($1 million each) vehicle purchases; and • $3 million to fund beat 8 and the Park Ranger positions through Fiscal Year 2025-26.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following related to the purchase of one 2023 Caterpillar (CAT) 950M Loader for the City of Redding Solid Waste Utility:
(1) Authorize the purchase using Sourcewell contract pricing, with a net delivered cost of $497,314.89 including all applicable taxes and fees;
(2) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 86th Amendment to Budget Resolution No. 2021-078 for the Solid Waste Utility to move funds from the Reserve Account for the purchase of one 2023 Caterpillar (CAT) 950M Loader; and (3) Authorize the City Manager to approve future pricing adjustments, terms, and policy changes as needed up to a total of $30,000.

Fiscal Impact
This unit is scheduled for replacement in Fiscal Year 2026-27. Due to a significant repair cost estimate received for this unit, staff is recommending early replacement and surplus rather than repair. Staff recommends using reserves to fund the acquisition. This action would reduce the current reserve balance of $11,410,352 by the acquisition costs; leaving a reserve balance of $10,913,037.

Alternative Action
The City Council may choose to not authorize the purchase using the Sourcewell contract nor the use of reserves, and provide alternate direction to staff.

Report to Redding City Council April 26, 2023
Re: 4.11(a)--Authorize the Purchase One Caterpillar 950M Loader Using Sourcewell Contract Pricing Page 2
Background/Analysis
The Solid Waste Utility utilizes a total of seven loaders of various sizes to process municipal solid waste, recycling, organics (green waste), and construction and demolition materials at the City of Redding (City) Transfer and Recycling Facility (Transfer Station), which operates six days per week. Of the loaders in use at the Transfer Station, three are large loaders used on the tipping floor to load transfer trucks as well as perform organics processing and composting operations to move and handle material, including loading transport trailers.

One of the three large loaders, a 2013 John Deere with 11,040 hours, is currently out of service due to a total engine failure. In the 10-year Rolling Stock Plan for the Solid Waste Utility, this unit is scheduled for replacement in Fiscal Year 2026-27. However, with the increase in tonnage over the last two years, the daily run time of this loader has increased, which caused wear and tear to occur faster than anticipated. Based on the current cost of the known needed repairs (vendor estimate of $143,000), the cumulative cost of previous repairs and maintenance, and age of the equipment, Fleet Maintenance Division staff has determined that this unit has reached the end of its dependable lifecycle earlier than anticipated and recommends it should be replaced rather than repaired. The implementation of additional recycling programs (including organics) to meet State diversion mandates requirements having reliable and dependable equipment.

A replacement loader is available under a Sourcewell competitively bid contract. Sourcewell develops national competitive solicitations that meet or exceed local standards and offers its members the benefits derived from cooperative purchasing. Using the Sourcewell cooperative contract to purchase a 2023 Caterpillar (CAT) 950M Loader saves significant staff time that would otherwise be needed to prepare bid specifications and solicit individual quotations from vendors. The City also receives a significant price discount due to economies of scale realized through the volume of purchases on a multi-agency cooperate contract.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to the Reimbursement Agreement (Agreement) with Redding Senior Living, LLC for the design and construction of a waterline from the intersection of Masonic Boulevard at Lake Boulevard to State Route 273/North Market Street to Hilltop Drive for the Springs Development project:
(1) Approve the Agreement in the amount of $1,400,000; and (2) Authorize the City Manager to approve additional increases based on the construction bid amounts up to a total of $200,00.

Fiscal Impact

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to approve the reimbursement agreement with Redding Senior Living, LLC, for design and construction of the waterline. The Springs development project would not meet the fire flow requirements for the facility and would need to pursue an alternative design to meet the requirements prior to occupancy. The City of Redding (City) would design, bid, and construct the waterline at a later date.

Re: 4.11(a)--The Springs Waterline Reimbursement Agreement Page 2 Background/Analysis
As part of the Springs Project, the developer, Redding Senior Living, LLC, was conditioned (PD-2019-00542) to construct the waterline required for the project. The waterline is a project identified in the City’s Water Master Plan and current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). By installing the waterline, the City’s Water Utility is able to move more water from the Buckeye Pressure Zone into the Foothill and Hilltop/Dana Pressure Zones. These improvements will better serve the surrounding City residents and provide necessary capacity and fire flow needed for future planned growth.

Per the Redding Municipal Code (RMC) Section 14.08.130, B.4, C:
“If any additional construction is necessary to extend lines from existing mains to the applicant’s property or subdivision, it shall be constructed at applicant’s cost, unless the City Council authorizes extension of such main at City expense because of special circumstances such as… (c) conformance to the water master plan.” RMC Section 16.20.090 generally provides for reimbursement of project costs when a condition of development requires construction of certain facility improvements specified in the City’s CIP.

The agreement has been developed in accordance with Council Policy 1502, Developer Participation Agreements.

Through the attached agreement, the City will review the design and construction of the waterline for conformance to City of Redding Construction Standards and reimburse the developer for the waterline at completion.

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

In addition, the complex includes 31 townhouse- style units arranged in a one- and two- story configuration which will be used forthose who desire a more fully independent living arrangement.

The attached Planned Development Plan booklet provides a detailed illustration of the project site plan and architectural features. Attachment " P" provides additional project information.

ISSUES
Should the Council approve the development proposal along with the related General Plan and zoning changes?
The objective of the project is to provide a combined independent and assisted living environment for persons 55 years of age or older. The manner in which this objective is approached and other significant aspects of the project are discussed below. Issues regarding street access and street improvements are discussed in Attachment "P." A discussion of environmental issues is provided in the attached environmental Initial Study (Attachment " J").

GENERAL PLAN AND ZONINGCONFORMANCEfDENSITY The existing " Neighborhood Commercial" General Plan and zoning of the majority of the ten- acre site preclude residential development. The requested General Plan amendment and rezoning are necessary to allow the development of this senior residential facility. The accompanying " PD" Planned Development Overlay District limits the use to a senior residential facility. In other words, should this particular project not proceed, any subsequent project must conform to the Planned Development Plan unless a Plan amendment were approved by the Planning Commission. However, the independent living units are subject to the City' s density limits, and those components of the project are consistent with the proposed " RM -15" zoning district.

The proposal for a senior residential facility is supported by the following policy ofthe Community Development and Design Element of the General Plan.

CDD 11E: Allow day- carefacilities, churches, residential carefacilities for the elderly, public andprivate schools, small grocery stores and other neighborhood- serving uses, and other ancillary uses in residential neighborhoods, provided that they are located and designed to be compatible with the neighborhood.

Packet Pg. 202 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 070307 (4.11(b)--Agreement Acceptance for The Springs Waterline Reimbursement Agreement) Report to City Council 3 June 14, 2007
The planned facility meets all zoning standards in the " RM" Residential Multiple Family District, including building setbacks and height, building design, and landscape. A minor parking lot setback encroachment is proposed, but overall, the parking setbacks exceed the minimum requirements to a considerable degree. In making its recommendation, the Planning Commission determined that the project will have minimal impact to the surrounding neighborhood with regard to noise, lighting, and view obstructions.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING The Planned Development zoning of the property was applied in 2002 with the adoption ofthe Zoning Map to ensure that development ofthis site was compatible with nearby residential development and that the design of a project at this highly visible location was exemplary. In the opinion of staff and the Commission, the project meets the design intent of the " PD" District by incorporating quality architectural design, on-site services, ample landscaped areas with walking paths, a focal entry element ( fountain), and decorative paving material at the main project entries.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
An environmental Initial Study and Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project were prepared by staff and distributed to potentially affected public agencies. A notice ofthe preparation of the environmental documents was also sent to surrounding property owners. The environmental documents conclude that with application offunda~ ental City development standards, the project does not have the potential to significantly affect th~ environment.

REQUIRED FINDINGS
A General Plan amendment and rezoning are legislative acts and, therefore, specific findings for approval are not required. Approval of the project by the City Council will necessitate a determination that certain findings are in evidence for the environmental document and planned development plan. These findings are outlined in Attachments " B" and " C," respectively.

ALTERNATIVES AND IMPLICATIONS OF THE ALTERNATIVES
At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council has the following alternatives:

1. Approve the project by taking all the following actions. ( Planning Commission Recommendation)
a. Adopt the CEQA Findings and Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for The Springs project.
b. Approve General Plan Amendment Application GPA- 1O- 06 by adoption of the attached resolution
c. Approve Rezoning Application RZ- 15- 06 and accept the attached ordinance for first reading by title only.
d. Approve Planned Development Plan Application PD- 9- 06 subject to the attached conditions upon a determination that the necessary findings forapproval under City Zoning Ordinance Chapter 18. 53.060 are in evidence.

Packet Pg. 203 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 070307 (4.11(b)--Agreement Acceptance for The Springs Waterline Reimbursement Agreement) Report to City Council 4 June 14, 2007

2. Continue the item for additional information or refer the item back to the Planning Commission for input on any project modifications considered necessary by the City Council. Minor modifications could be incorporated into a motion for approval.

3. Deny the project based upon a determination that the General Plan change is inappropriate or that the required CEQA findings or Planned Development findings are not in evidence. If this alternative is selected, the Council should identify the basis for this determination in the motion.

CONCLUSION
It is the opinion of staff and the Planning Commission that the project meets the expectations of a planned development and will enhance the housing opportunities in the community. Further, the design minimizes impacts to the surrounding neighborhood and represents a high quality in its architectural design. It is staffs opinion that with application of the attached conditions, all necessary findings for approval related to CEQA and the planned development plan are in evidence.

It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the Council approve the Negative Declaration and approve " The Springs at Redding" Planned Development as outlined in Alternative 1. Ifthe Council concurs, the attached rezoning ordinance is offered for first reading by title only.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions regarding Highway Bridge Program grant funding from the State of California Department of Transportation:
(1) Accept additional grant funds awarded to the City of Redding for the Old Alturas Road over Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project (Project); and (2) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 87th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2021-078 appropriating $4,462,400 for the Project.

Fiscal Impact
An additional $4,462,400 in Highway Bridge Program (HBP) grant funds has been allocated to the City of Redding (City) for the Old Alturas Road over Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project (Project). These additional grant funds will allow staff to complete the project design and advertise for construction. Previously allocated HBP funds in the amount of $2,453,569 were insufficient to complete the project.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to accept the additional grant funding. In this case, the City would lose $4,462,400 in grant funding for the project and additional City funds would need to be used to complete the project. Alternatively, the Council could choose not to proceed with the project and the City would need to reimburse the State for costs incurred to date.

Background/Analysis
On August 5, 2015, the Council appropriated HBP funds in the amount of $2,253,569 to hire a consultant to support staff in the preparation of design and construction documents for the project. In addition, $200,000 was also appropriated for the initial request for proposal process and project scoping. As the project has proceeded through the various stages of design, environmental review, and right-of-way, the estimates and plans have become more refined and detailed. Due to the presence of sensitive environmental resources, the additional time to analyze MEETING DATE: May 2, 2023

Re: 4.11(c)--Accept Grant Funds and Adopt Budget Resolution for Old Alturas Bridge over Churn Creek Page 2
the environmental constraints led to an increase in construction costs from what was originally estimated. City staff submitted the required documentation to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the agency that administers the HBP Program, to request additional HBP funds to fully fund the project. Caltrans has programmed and approved the City’s request for additional HBP funding in the amount of $4,462,400 which need to be allocated to the City’s project budget. The total bridge project (including design, environmental, right-of-way, and construction) is estimated to be approximately $7,586,000, with $6,715,886 funded by the HBP program and the remaining $870,114 coming from Citywide Transportation Impact Fees.

In addition to the bridge rehabilitation, staff has prepared improvement drawings that will complete the corridor improvements between Edgewood Drive (limits of the Old Alturas Widening Project completed in 2015) westerly to the limits of the bridge project. Improvements here include road widening, sidewalks, storm drain replacement, and water main replacement.

These improvements will be funded by a variety of sources, including the Water Utility, Storm Drain Utility, and Streets Divisions, and are estimated to cost just under $900,000.

Construction for the bridge is anticipated to begin in Spring 2024; however, staff plans to advertise the project in late Summer 2023 which will allow for some environmental preparation and utility work within the roadway to start in Fall 2023.

Environmental Review
This action, accepting additional grant funding, is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required. On December 6, 2016, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2016-126 approving the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program, and approving the Old Alturas and Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO REDDING CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept $ 11,210,707 in federal funding from the Highway Bridge Program ( HBP); and adopt a resolution approving the 4th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2015-057 appropriating 12,376, 456 ($ 11,210, 707 in HBP grant funds and $ 1,165,749 in City Traffic Impact Fee ( TIF) match funds) for the rehabilitation (one bridge) and replacement (five bridges) of various bridges throughout the City of Redding.

Background
On September 7, 2010, the City Council ( Council) authorized staff to submit several applications for federal funding for the rehabilitation or replacement of local bridge structures. Caltrans accepted the City’s applications and programmed funding for each bridge in the Federal Transportation Improvement Program ( FTIP). On March 6, 2012, Council accepted the HBP funding to allow staff to begin preliminary engineering on these various bridges. At this time, staff is continuing with the design phase of the bridges and will then move into right- of-way acquisition and construction. Funding to be accepted and adopted by budget resolution is as follows:

Sacramento Drive at Olney Creek - $ 2,213, 000 ( HBP)
Old Alturas at Churn Creek - $2,453,569 (HBP) and $317,886 (TIF) Eastside Road at Canyon Hollow Creek - $1,355,394 (HBP) and $175,606 (TIF) Girvan Road at Olney Creek - $2,239,809 (HBP) and $290,191 (TIF) Westside Road at Canyon Hollow Creek - $1,270,406 (HBP) and $164,595 (TIF) Canyon Road at ACID - $1,678,529 (HBP) and $217,471 (TIF) MEETING DATE: August 5, 2015

Re: 4.11(b)--Accept Federal Highway Bridge Program Funding Page 2 All but one of the bridge sites requires an 11.47 percent match with local funds, while the remaining 88.53 percent is funded by the HBP. The Sacramento Drive at Olney Creek Bridge is an off-system bridge which is also 88.5 HBP funding but the local match is picked up by the State’ s toll credit program.

Issue
Should Council accept Federal Highway Bridge Program funding for the design and construction of various bridges in the City of Redding and adopt the attached budget resolution appropriating 11,210, 707 in HBP grant funds and $ 1,165, 749 in City TIF match funds? Alternatives; Implication of Alternatives
The Council has the option of selecting one of the following alternatives:

1. Accept $11,210,707 in HBP funds and adopt the attached budget resolution appropriating the $ 11,210, 707 in HBP grant funds and $ 1,165, 749 in City Traffic Impact Fee ( TIF) match funds. This will make additional funds available so that work may continue on these various bridge projects. ( Staff Recommendation)

2. Do not accept the HBP funds or adopt the budget resolution and provide alternate direction to staff. This could delay the bridge rehabilitation or replacements and risk the loss of $11,210,707 in HBP funds.

Fiscal Impact
The majority of the funding for these projects will come from the Federal HBP , with the remaining funding coming from Traffic Impact Fees. The FTIP has programmed all necessary funds for the various bridges, and the remaining TIF portion funding has been approved within the current City budget.

Conclusion
Accepting the HBP funds and adopting the budget resolution will allow staff to continue working on the design of these projects, which, when completed, will replace several old bridges that have been designated as either " structurally deficient" or “ functionally obsolete,” per Caltrans Bridge Inspection Reports.

Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program, and approving the Old Alturas Road and Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project as described, thereby satisfying the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA Guidelines § 15074).

Background
The City of Redding Department of Public Works proposes to rehabilitate the existing four -span, 143 -foot -long by 28 -foot -wide reinforced concrete bridge over Churn Creek on Old Alturas Road. Rehabilitation would include widening the bridge deck, pier walls, and abutments, and widening the roadway on either side of the bridge. Approximately 88 percent of the project is funded by the federal Highway Bridge Program.

The first order of work will be completion of two temporary access roads across the channel for equipment and vehicles. The contractor may also create a temporary access pad beneath the bridge to be used as a road/work platform. The pad and access roads would be made up of clean, uncrushed, rounded river rock with no sharp edges; temporary culverts would divert any stream flows through the site. All temporary work pads and stream crossings would be removed during the winter months as approved by the various resource agencies.

Following completion of the access roads, the existing abutments would be extended to 67 feet.

The existing 1 - foot -wide pier walls would be extended to 66 feet, and ten 50 -foot -long, 30 -inch -diameter piles would be installed to provide support for the pier extensions. Rock slope protection would be placed 21 feet upstream and downstream of the new pier walls and be placed in a 15 -foot -wide zone around the abutments. Upon completion of work around the pier walls and abutments, the bridge deck would be widened. The new concrete bridge deck would measure 67 feet wide and would include a 14 -foot -wide center turn lane and two 12 -foot -wide lanes, each with an 8 -foot -wide shoulder and a 6 -foot -wide sidewalk with a barrier. Pile driving may be required for the placement of falsework piles and for the installation of sheet piles around the pier walls and abutments for dewatering purposes and as temporary retaining walls.

Re: 4.11( 1) -- Adoption of Old Alturas Road at Churn Creek Bridge Mitigated Negative Declaration Page 2
western and eastern approaches to the bridge would require ± 600 and ± 1, 000 feet of road work, respectively; this would include minor widening of the roadway near the bridge to match the width of the new bridge deck. New storm drains and catch basins would be constructed to adequately drain the improved roadway along the north side of both the east and west approach roadways and along the south side of the east approach roadway. In addition, affected driveways would be modified to conform with the new roadway.

Staged construction would be used to build the bridge while maintaining one lane of traffic in each direction; periodic traffic control may be required during critical construction events. An existing 12 -inch -diameter water line and a 4 -inch -diameter gas line would be relocated to the new edge of deck, and electric utilities would be relocated to the edge of the right- of-way. The project will require additional right-of-way to accommodate the new bridge and sewer line.

Temporary construction easements would also be required for construction access and staging.

Construction is planned for summer of 2018, with the goal of completing the project in one construction season. Two construction seasons may be required, however, depending on how early in the season construction begins, construction efficiency, coordination with utilities, and other factors.

An Initial Study ( IS) was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It describes why the Project is being proposed and the potential impacts to the existing environment. The IS shows that the proposed Project could have a significant effect on biological and cultural resources, but with implementation of mitigation measures, those impacts will be reduced to a level considered less than significant. Mitigation measures to be implemented are common practices and include, but are not limited to biological preconstruction surveys, impact minimization, construction monitoring, exclusionary fencing, erosion control, on- site restoration, and off-site compensation.

Based on the conclusions made in the IS, a Mitigated Negative Declaration ( MND) was prepared. The MND describes the project, including mitigation measures, and makes the determination that there will be no significant effect on the environment provided that the defined mitigation measures are implemented as part of the project.

In addition, a Mitigation and Monitoring Program ( MMP) has been written and incorporated into the MND (CEQA Section 21081. 6). The MMP will be used by City staff, contractors, agencies, and monitoring personnel during and after the project to ensure effective implementation of the adopted mitigation measures outlined in the MND.

The IS/ MND/MMP documents were sent to the State Clearinghouse for a 30 day public review period and distribution to pertinent state agencies. They were sent to local resource agencies and the Shasta County Clerk, and posted on the Public Works Department website. A public notice was also sent to landowners in the vicinity of the project and posted in the local newspaper. One comment letter was received from the Department of Fish and Wildlife. A response to the comment letter has been prepared and is attached to the final MND.

The City of Redding is the lead agency for the Project pursuant to CEQA. As the lead CEQA agency, the City Council is authorized to adopt the MND per Redding Municipal Code Section I8.24.070.E and state law. Upon adoption of the MND and approval of the project by the City Council, a Notice of Determination will be filed with the Shasta County Clerk' s Office and the Packet Pg. 214 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 1262016 (4.11(c)--Accept Grant Funds and Adopt Budget Resolution for Old Alturas Bridge over Churn Report to Redding City Council November 29, 2016

Issue
Should the City Council adopt the attached resolution relative to the Old Alturas Road and Churn Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project?
Alternatives; Implication ofAlternatives
The City Council has the option of selecting one of the following alternatives:

1. Adopt the attached resolution, thereby adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program and approving the Project as described. With this action, the Council will be in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines § 15074). ( Staff Recommendation)

2. Do not adopt the resolution and Mitigated Negative Declaration. Without approval of the environmental document, the project would not proceed forward as a City project.

Fiscal Impact
Adoption of the resolution allows the project to move forward towards the construction phase.

There is no fiscal impact as a direct result of adopting the MND and MMP.

Conclusion
Adoption of the MND and approval of the Project are necessary for the project to proceed. The environmental phase must be completed prior to the project moving forward towards construction.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution accepting the City of Redding’s List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2023-24 funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

Fiscal Impact
The estimated Fiscal Year 2023-24 Road Maintenance and Repair Account (RMRA) funding allocation to the City of Redding (City) is $2,319,648.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to adopt the attached resolution. The City would not be eligible to receive Senate Bill (SB) 1 funding in the amount of $2,319,648.

Background/Analysis
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed SB 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the State highway and local streets and road systems. SB 1 increases per-gallon fuel excise taxes; increases diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees; and provides for inflationary adjustments to gas tax rates in future years. RMRA funds are apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties. The City’s portion of RMRA funds for Fiscal Year 2023-24 is estimated to be $2,319,648.

SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California’s transportation programs. Therefore, in order to be eligible for RMRA funding, cities must submit a project list proposed to be funded with these funds. The attached list includes projects that may be funded with RMRA funds depending on the availability of other funding sources within the Streets Division.

Agencies are required, however, to submit expenditure reports by December 1, of each year that detail each project and corresponding amount of RMRA funds utilized to ensure program accountability.

The RMRA provides much needed funds to repair and rehabilitate existing transportation facilities at both the State and local level. The City’s backlog of deferred maintenance continues to grow as need outpaces resources.

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

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize staff to implement a Parking Fee Holiday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., on Friday, May 19, 2023, for the annual Asphalt Cowboys Pancake Breakfast held in Downtown Redding.

Fiscal Impact
The City’s parking system requires payment during weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with an exception for holidays. The current parking rate is $1 per hour. Not collecting a parking fare, systemwide, for four hours on a weekday will result in a loss of revenue of less than $800.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to approve the Parking Fee Holiday and continue with the paid parking system during the time of the breakfast.

Background/Analysis
The Asphalt Cowboys have been serving the community with the annual pancake breakfast since the 1950s. This event is well recognized and attracts nearly 10,000 participants as well as dozens of volunteers and support personnel. In the few years, the event relocated from Market Street in front of the Cascade Theatre to the newly reintroduced section of Market Street between Butte and Yuba Streets.

With the parking strategy relatively new to the Downtown area, the Asphalt Cowboys organization is concerned that paid parking may hinder community participation for the event. It has submitted the attached letter requesting the City not to charge for parking in the downtown core during the event hours, for not only this year but for the future instances of the event. While there are concerns related to precedence, staff is supportive of the request as this event is truly unique in both size and scale as well as the long-standing tradition the citizens of Redding expect MEETING DATE: May 2, 2023

Re: 4.11(e)--Parking Fee Holiday for Asphalt Cowboys Pancake Breakfast Page 2 and support. It will not be the intent of staff to entertain similar requests for events in the future that are smaller in scale and do not meet the same time-honored tradition standards as the pancake breakfast. The Council will be asked to consider a more permanent approval of this arrangement at a future Council meeting after the planned presentation of the parking program efficacy at some time this summer.

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

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept update regarding award of emergency construction contract for replacement of Storm Drain System on Eastside Road, and, in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22050(c)(1), make a determination by a four-fifths vote that there is a need to continue the emergency work.

Fiscal Impact
Eastside Road Emergency Storm Drain Replacement Project costs will be funded by the Storm Drain Utility Division. The updated estimated total project cost of the repairs is less than $300,000. Staff is working with the contractor to determine the final project costs.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to accept the project status report and provide further direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
N&T Digmore, Inc., of Redding, California, began work to remove and replace the damaged storm drain and reconstruct the fill slope on March 27, 2023, and the field work was completed on April 11, 2023. The contractor and staff are finalizing the progress pay estimates and project documentation and will present the Project Acceptance to the Council for consideration in the coming weeks.

The project included the replacement of the failed storm drain pipe across Eastside Road and backfilling the roadway slope to ensure the integrity of the roadway. The work totals less than $300,000 including construction contract work, construction management, and inspection.

Re: 4.11(f)--Update of Emergency Repair of Storm Drain Eastside Rd Page 2 Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and no further action is required. On March 21, 2023, the Council determined that the Eastside Road Emergency Storm Drain Repair Project is categorically exempt from environmental review under the CEQA Guidelines, per Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction).

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to the Eastside Road Emergency Storm Drain Replacement Project (Project) (Job Order No. 2992-21):
(1) Adopt Resolution, by not less than four-fifths (4/5ths) affirmative vote, ratifying the City cy construction contract for emergency replacement of a storm drain system and roadway slope on Eastside Road;
(2) Authorize the City Manager to execute a public works contract for the Project in an amount not to exceed $200,000;
(3) Authorize the City Manager to approve construction contingency amounts up to a total of $50,000; and
(4) Find that the project is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, per Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction).

Fiscal Impact
The estimated total Project cost is $300,000. These costs include construction and staff time for construction management and inspections. The Storm Drain Utility Division (Storm Drain Utility) has sufficient funds appropriated in the approved Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget for this project.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose to not authorize the award of an emergency contract, and instead prepare an award to the low bidder in accordance with State and local contracting procedures. This will result in the closure of Eastside Road for an extended period impacting area businesses and residents. There will be an increased risk of roadway failure and potential rupture of the high-pressure gas main posing a significant threat to businesses, property, State Route (Highway) 273, and railroad operations.

Re: 2(a)Emergency Repair of Storm Drain Facility on Eastside Road Page 2 Or, the Council could also provide alterative direction to staff Background/Analysis
The Storm Drain Utility maintains storm drain facilities throughout the City of Redding (City) including inlets, outfalls, pipes, and channels. Located on Eastside Road just south of Haven Humane Society and 1.4 miles north of Latona Road is a 48-inch corrugated metal storm drain pipe. The pipe conveys water from Happy Valley Road, Highway 273, and the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks, under Eastside Road and onto City-owned property to the east. The Storm Drain Utility made an expedient repair to the system in 2020 when the outlet to the creek had failed. Today, the connection to the outlet and the remainder of the piping underneath the roadway is failing causing soil erosion to the adjacent road slopes (both sides) and exposing a Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) two-inch gas line. There is also a PG&E 10-inch, high-pressure transmission gas main in the roadway above the failing storm drain pipe. Eastside Road is now temporarily closed due to the concerns of entire roadway failure and damage to the high-pressure gas main.

With forecasts of continued wet weather, and the roadway slope gradually deteriorating, the Storm Drain Utility and Engineering Divisions agreed that time is of the essence to avert the possible threat of a complete roadway failure, damage to the gas lines, and material being washed downstream, and potential flooding of the adjacent roadways. Simply closing the road and re-routing traffic will not mitigate the exigency because the storm water may continue to erode the road bank and undermine the gas line. The expedient need for repairs does not allow time for traditional engineering design and formal competitive bidding.

Staff proposes an emergency contract to replace the failed storm drain pipe and repair the overlying roadway and its adjacent support slope. Staff estimates the work to total less than $300,000 including construction contract work, construction management and inspection. It is further estimated that the work will be complete within two weeks.

It is noted that the Public Contract Code (Section 20168) provides that the legislative body may pass a resolution by a four-fifths vote of its members declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health and property. Further, the PCC
a public agency, pursuant to a four-fifths vote of its governing body, may repair or replace a public facility, take any directly related and immediate action required by that emergency, and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes without giving notice the City Manager to authorize necessary actions and for the Council to subsequently review and ratify such actions within seven days or at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Council. to ensure no further damage to persons, public health or property occurs.

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

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Conduct a Public Hearing and upon conclusion, adopt Resolution accepting the proposed 2023- 24 Annual Action Plan; and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to sign all necessary documents to submit the 2023-24 Annual Action Plan to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact in approving the 2023-24 Annual Action Plan (Action Plan), as the City of Redding (City) is allocated HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds directly from United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the form of grants.

The match requirement for HOME funds will be met through the use of HOME match credit from eligible HOME-like housing projects funded with non-federal and private funds. There is no match requirement for the CDBG funds.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to approve the Action Plan or direct staff to amend the Action Plan. The implications associated with any amendment would be dependent upon what Action Plan modifications are requested.

Report to Redding City Council April 27, 2023
Re: 6.1--Public Hearing to Consider 2023-24 Action Plan Page 2 Background/Analysis
The City is an “Entitlement Jurisdiction” and receives direct grant funding allocations from HUD for the HOME Program and the CDBG Program. The primary objective of the HOME Program is to strengthen public-private partnerships and to expand the supply of decent income-qualifying housing. Under the CDBG Program, the primary focus is to provide a source of funds to develop and implement plans, programs, and projects that provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income individuals and families.

As part of the administration of the HOME and CDBG Programs, HUD requires the City to submit a five-year Consolidated Plan that covers the 2020-2024 planning period. The Council approved this plan in May 2020. Each year, the goals of the Consolidated Plan are carried out via an annual action plan which provides a concise summary of the projects and financial resources used each fiscal year to meet the goals identified in the Consolidated Plan.

HUD requires that a draft Action Plan be available for public comment for a minimum period of 30 days prior to adoption. The public comment period opened April 1, 2023, and concludes with the public hearing on May 2, 2023. All comments received through the public hearing will be incorporated into the final version of the Action Plan. To date, no comments have been received.

On February 27, 2023, HUD announced that for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24, the City will be allocated HOME funds in the amount of $431,094 and CDBG Program funds in the amount of $726,017. Last fiscal year’s allocations for HOME and CDBG were $477,903 and $747,542 respectively.

Both HOME and CDBG Programs receive program income generated from loan repayments to provide additional revenue. It is anticipated that the HOME program will receive $245,200 and the CDBG program will receive $140,000 over the next fiscal year. All payments received from Home and CDBG Program loans are used to further support income-qualifying housing activities that include homeowner and rental rehabilitation activities.

Each year, in order to draft the Action Plan, the Housing Division solicits applications for CDBG Public Service and Public Facilities and Improvement projects through a Notice of Funding Availability. Public service activities compete for an allocation of funds that typically equates to 15 percent of the annual CDBG allocation. Overall, a total of nine Public Service, four Public Improvement, and two Economic Development applications were received.

Public Service applications were reviewed and ranked by the Council-appointed Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC). As part of this process, each of the applicants were provided the opportunity to make presentations and answer questions before CDAC. The committee analyzed the applications and determined funding recommendations on March 22, 2023. The CDAC’s funding recommendations are detailed in Attachment A.

The Public Facilities and Improvements/Economic Development categories includes unused prior year CDBG funds of $295,949. These category applications are analyzed by staff and presented to the City Manager for funding recommendations. Consistent with prior years, in addition to the CDAC and City Manager’s Office recommendations, $10,000 of CDBG general administration funds are allocated to the Nor Cal Continuum of Care for administration and coordination activities; $3,000 for the annual Fair Housing Workshop and $50,000 for the update to the General Plan.

Packet Pg. 234
Report to Redding City Council April 27, 2023
Re: 6.1--Public Hearing to Consider 2023-24 Action Plan Page 3 The proposed Fiscal Year 2023 HOME and CDBG allocations and projects detailed in Attachment A have been incorporated into the draft Action Plan.

As a part of the Action Plan process, the Council is required to conduct a public hearing regarding the proposed use of funds. Following the close of the hearing, the Council may consider the recommendations from CDAC, the City Manager, and all testimony received during the hearing to make a final decision.

Environmental Review
Approving the Action Plan is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and no further action is required.

However, each project or program within the Action Plan is analyzed individually for CEQA and/or NEPA compliance.

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

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
In accordance with 24 CFR 91.220(b), the following Action Plan (AP) is submitted for the 2023-24 Program Year. The intent of this plan is to describe the projects to be undertaken during the next program year to address the City of Redding's (City) priority needs and estimate the number and types of households, including homeless, non-homeless, and special needs populations to be assisted. Funds will be used to assist with rehabilitation of South City Park amenities including updated lighting, safety features and recreational activities. It also contains a detailed description of the activities planned for CDBG and HOME funds expected to be available during the program year in sufficient detail to allow citizens to determine the degree to which they are affected.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

Consistent with the goals and objectives outlined in the 2020-24 Consolidated Plan (ConPlan), this AP is the fourth-year annual plan that establishes the activities that may receive funding during the 2023-24 Program Year. Section AP-20 of this plan provides greater detail of the Annual Goals and Objectives for this program year; however, the general categories for these objectives include the following:
• Affordable Housing
• Homeless Prevention and Emergency Services, including Public Service Activities • Employment and Economic Development
• Public Facility and Infrastructure Improvements
• Public Infrastructure for Development of Affordable Housing Given the limited resources available and the funding trends over the last planning cycle, the City maintains a conservative approach in project selection in order to ensure that its strategic planning objectives are achieved, while adapting to changing market conditions.

7. Summary
Consistent with the goals of the CDBG and HOME programs, the City strives to address a broad scope of community needs in a manner that maximizes results with limited funding by focusing its efforts on activities that serve the low- and moderate-income (LMI) population. The City focuses on providing increased access to housing through its development partnerships that create affordable housing opportunities. In addition, CDBG funds are utilized to support economic development activities, a variety of community service programsthrough local nonprofitsthat provide support to youth, homelessservices, or affordable housing for lower-income households. The City is dedicated to serving its special needs citizens through its focus on facility improvements that serve disabled populations, domestic violence victims, and displaced families, while also maintaining its collaborative efforts toward ending homelessness. Although many programs administered by the City’s Housing and Community Development (HCD) Division are accomplished in collaboration with other local agencies and private organizations, the bulk of its programs and activities are non-duplicative. The affordable housing programs, as well as infrastructure improvement activities and public service activities, are among the most relied upon resource to support the quality of life for the LMI population in the community.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)

1. Introduction
Other governmental agencies, the general public, private entities, and local nonprofits organizations were consulted to solicit their input in the preparation of the ConPlan. Input from these agencies was incorporated into the Annual AP, which supports the goals identified within the ConPlan.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
The City's Housing Division works closely with social service agencies and other local organizations that represent children, elderly persons, homeless persons (including Veterans), persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and the disabled. Strategic planning, coordination, and collaboration with these players are achieved through various consultation opportunities, such as the monthly NorCal CoC meetings. The City actively participatesin local collaboratives and initiativesthatspecifically addressissuesrelated to housing and homelessness, and is a member of the NorCal CoC Advisory Board.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

NorCal Continuum of Care (NorCal CoC) is a consortium of individuals and organizations with the common purpose of planning a housing and services system for people who are homeless. NorCal CoC serves as a convening entity tasked with the critical mission of ending homelessness in the City of Redding as the largest city within Shasta County. NorCal CoC also represents the counties of Lassen, Plumas, Sierra, Siskiyou, Del Norte and Modoc Counties. The NorCal CoC isresponsible for managing grant funds provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for homelessness, and uniquely positioned to identify system needs and take stepsto addressthem with the collaboration and partnership of community stakeholders.

As indicated in the ConPlan, the NorCal CoC accomplishes a host of activities and programs vital to the community, including the following:
• Shasta County Housing Department, as Lead Agency for the NorCal CoC, acts asthe primary liaison between the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the State of California Housing and Community Development, the City of Redding and other potential funders for homeless programs and completes the following tasks:
• Reports annual and federal NorCal CoC data including Point in Time and Housing Inventory Count data reported on the HUD Data Exchange;
Packet Pg. 243 Attachment: Action Plan 2023-24 (6.1--Public Hearing to Consider 2023-24 Action Plan) Annual AP
2023-2024
6 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Annually registers the NorCal CoC, completes the NorCal CoC Program Application, reviews the annual HUD Grant Inventory Worksheet, and applies for NorCal CoC Planning Grant Funds through HUD’s Office of Community Planning and Development; • Provides technical assistance and referral information to potential applicants seeking funding through the HUD NorCal CoC Homeless Assistance Program Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA); • Creates and administers an equitable rating and ranking processfor project applicants asfederally required by the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act; • Creates and implementslocalstrategiesto direct NorCal CoC resourcesto reach the four key goals relative to “Opening Doors”: a Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness (written in 2010 and amended in 2015). These goals are to end chronic homelessness, prevent and end homelessness among Veterans, families and youth and set a path to end all types of homelessness.
• Maintains resource sharing and website at www.norcalcoc.org that offers a definitive host of services, resources and opportunities for the homeless; • Participation and training of data entry into the HMIS system; • The NorCal CoC Advisory Board completes the following tasks for the NorCal CoC:
• plans, coordinates and carries out an annual HUD required Housing Inventory Count (HIC) of nonprofit agency available beds and units dedicated to serve persons who are homeless.

These beds are categorized by the federally defined program types: Emergency Shelter; Transitional Housing; Rapid Re-housing; Safe Haven; and Permanent SupportiveHousing; • Plans, coordinates and carries out an annual HUD required Point in Time Count (PIT) of persons across the continuum that meet the HUD definition of literally homeless; Representatives from the City’s Housing Division attend monthly NorCal CoC Advisory Board meetings.

The meetings are recognized as Brown Act meetings. The NorCal CoC Governance Charter, Board Membership Policy, Membership Applications and Agendas/minutes are readily available to the public.

During the monthly meetings, topics regarding local homeless issues and resources are discussed as well as collaborative opportunities between nonprofit agencies and general NorCal Advisory Board business.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The federal government allocates ESG to the State of California. The State of California, in an effort to align this funding with the HEARTH Act priorities, distributes the funding through local Continuums of Care. Since no jurisdiction within our CoC receives entitlement ESG funds from the federal government, our CoC participates in the Balance of State Allocation (BOS) process. Through the BOS Allocation process, each CoC receives noncompetitive funds. The City of Redding applied for a competitive Emergency Solutions Grant for $200,000.

The City will continue to engage nonprofits that are effective in placing chronically homeless persons in appropriate and sustainable housing, and assist them in building capacity; as well as finding options for them to generate match funds to compete for ESG funds.

City staff collaborates with the County and community service providers to develop and implement a Housing Strategic Plan. Some of the goals of the Strategic Plan are to increase the permanent supportive housing and affordable housing units available, to build the capacity of community leadership around homelessness and to implement a coordinated entry process, amongst other very important goals.

Performance standards and outcomes will be monitored and tracked by CoC personnel.

Introduction
The City of Redding is an entitlement community and receives direct grant allocations from the CDBG program and HOME program. The City also receives a varying amount of program income revenue generated from its HOME and CDBG loan portfolios. In 2012, the City elected to serve as the Successor Housing Agency (SHA) to the former Redding Redevelopment Agency, which transferred housing assets to the SHA and established the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF). The LMIHAF includes real property assets acquired by the former Redding Redevelopment Agency for low- and moderate-income housing purposes; loan or grant receivables; encumbered funds that are secured by an enforceable obligation; rents and payments from operations; amounts owed to the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund; mixed-used assets; and housing bond proceeds. Locally, the Affordable Housing Loan Fund (AHLF) has been established to further support the development and rehabilitation of affordable housing projects.

In addition, the City of Redding receives funding resources from the reuse accounts established for the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s CalHome Program (CalHome) from 2011 and 2012 funding agreements. The City of Redding currently uses CalHome Disaster Assistance funds as mortgage assistance to low-income persons. The City continues to pursue additional grant funds through the State of California, including CDBG-Disaster Recovery (DR) and CDBG-Mitigation (MIT) that will assist in disaster recovery and resiliency efforts within our community. The City is also a Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) recipient from the State. It is anticipated that these funds will be received during calendar year 2023.

The City maintains approximately $34.2 million in match credit according to the HOME match credit report submitted for Federal Fiscal Year 2021. Match credit resources anticipated for the 2020-24 ConPlan period include resources managed by the City as well as resources that the City intends to acquire through development partnerships and by applying for funding opportunities as available. With regard to funding resources administered by the City, CalHome funding received through the State of California Housing Community Development is used for homebuyer assistance loans as well as owner-occupied housing rehabilitation loans. The City also administers the LMIHAF, which includes property assets acquired by the former RRA for low- and moderate-income housing purposes. The City also administers the AHLF, which has been established to further support the development and rehabilitation of affordable housing budget. These resources can be utilized in conjunction with HOME and CDBG funds to preserve and create affordable housing in the City.

The City also intends to acquire matching resources through development partnerships to leverage project-based private contributions and to provide eligibility for other funding programs related to improving and increasing the stock of transitional housing as well as affordable rental and owner-occupied housing.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The activities selected for program year 2023-24 include those that address underserved needs as identified through the Needs Assessment and through the citizen participation process. Projects are prioritized according to the priority needs as indicated in SP-25 of the ConPlan. Although the need for affordable housing in general along with a means for addressing the housing needs of special needs and high-risk populations, common constraints towards addressing these priority areas includes the variance in federal funding allocations and budgetary uncertainties that directly affect the staffing that supports these projects. New project development and program sustainability, requires dedicated staffing and funding resources in order to ensure meaningful impact towards addressing the underserved needs in the community. Nevertheless, the City continues to take a focused approach towards addressing the housing needs in the community through a variety of homeowner, rental, and new construction programs. In addition, the City recognizes that meeting the priority needs as identified in the ConPlan requires community-level involvement and a reliance on local resources as well.

Introduction
It is the ongoing objective of the City to work toward providing opportunities for the development of a wide range of housing types, including affordable housing units that are accessible, safe, and provide necessary supportive services specific to the target special needs population. As funding is available, the City will continue to support the development of affordable housing units in a wide variety of types. The City is currently working with a number of affordable housing developers to identify funding and other resources for a variety of affordable housing proposals. If feasible, the City will enter into development partnership agreements with individual entities to increase the stock of affordable housing in the community during the 2023-24 Program Year and beyond. Moreover, the City will continue its education efforts on a community-wide basis, as well as on a project-by-project basis, to demonstrate that qualitybuilt and quality-managed housing projects can be a benefit not only to the targeted resident population, but also to the neighborhood in which it issituated.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
As described in Sections PR-10 and SP-60 of the ConPlan, annual goals are consistent with strategic plan goals and the ongoing efforts of the NorCal CoC , of which the City is an active participant.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
Consistent with the efforts described in SP-60 of the ConPlan, the City collaborates with community partners throughout the program year through the NorCal CoC. This includes connections with the U.S.

Department of Veterans Affairs, Shasta County Health and Human Services, the Redding Police Department, local shelter staff, and private nonprofits. The City’s Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT) is a collaboration of a law enforcement officer and a mental health clinician to provide street outreach services by connecting those in crisis with mental health and housing services. In addition, the CIRT provides outreach to homeless encampments to connect people to immediate interim housing. The CIRT obtains HMIS level data for entry into the local HMIS, CIRT program and coordinated entry data systems.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons As stated previously, the GNRM provides emergency shelter services to Redding’s homeless population.

The GNRM men’s shelter provides 202 beds for homeless men and the Housing of Hope provides 105 beds for the community homeless women and children. Guests receive three meals per day, toiletries, daily showers as well as laundry services and miscellaneous amenities. Guests may stay up to 30 days unless enrolled in one of GNRM programs. After 30 days not receiving shelter services, homeless individuals may return for another 30 day stay.

Additionally, in June 2021, the Redding City Council adopted a resolution that declared a shelter crisis and subsequently approved Ordinances 2637 and 2638 and the associated Administrative Guidelines which collectively set forth the requirements and process for the City to review and authorize, through a permit approved by the Council, the establishment and operation of Emergency Housing Shelters (EHS). An EHS provides short-term, emergency, and temporary housing to no more than 30 individuals as defined in Appendix O of the California Building Code. Each EHS must adhere to the Administrative Guidelines and develop and post Good Neighbor Policies addressing the EHS premises and the immediate surrounding neighborhood. These policies must clearly show provisions for how the EHS actively discourages and addresses excessive noise or loitering from EHS participants and others who may be near the site. Where applicable, the EHS must demonstrate coordination with other service providers and community partners to address the above issues and the impacts of each. To comply with these requirements, each EHS must submit an operations plan that conforms to the Administrative Packet Pg. 287 Attachment: Action Plan 2023-24 (6.1--Public Hearing to Consider 2023-24 Action Plan) Annual AP
2023-2024 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 49 Guidelines. Three micro-shelter sites to serve 18 people are in development for the 2023-24 year.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons As indicated in the five-year strategic goals described in SP-60, emergency shelters within our jurisdiction have an active role with the NorCal CoC. Shelter directors participate regularly in community dialogue about emergency shelter and housing needs. Shelter directors work closely with the City of Redding and the Nor Cal CoC to regularly revisit needs for this population. HUD CoC funds, leveraged with City of Redding resources, annually support local transitional housing projects for homeless families with children. Annual goals will continue to align with strategic plan goals, as community partners support the stabilization and transition of these families with in-kind contributions and assistance with on-site life-skill classes.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
As indicated in SP-60 of the ConPlan, chronically homeless individuals with a severe and persistent mental illness have 34 dedicated scattered site units that are subsidized by CoC Supportive Housing Project (SHP) funds. Community collaboration facilitates entry into the permanent housing project through an outreach and screening process lead by our local Federally Qualified Health Center. Homeless families with children are offered transitional housing opportunity with permanent housing placement services. This HUD CoC funded project works together with the City of Redding to leverage resources needed to expand or individualize permanent housing placement support. The GNRM offers emergency shelter along with supportive services including housing transition plans for the chronically homeless.

During the 2023-24 Program Year, CDBG funds will assist with funding for storage/emergency cabins for use by the homeless population. As indicated above, Pathways to Housing, rehabilitated their facility purchased from the RHA and offers transitional, supportive housing services to homeless, medically fragile individuals transitioning out of local medical facilities.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

Individuals being discharged from a publicly funded institution are recognized as having a high risk of homelessness. The CoC transitional housing project for homeless families with children practices strategic plan goals for housing placement and support prior to discharge. Due to Assembly Bill 109, offenders released from prison to finish their sentence in alternative custody programs were identified as extremely high risk of becoming or remaining homeless.

The Shasta County Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) offers a plan for permanent housing and support. CCP efforts address employment, education, health, social services and housing. With a current housing retention rate over 90%, strategic plan goals contribute greatly to the success of this population post discharge.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

As indicated earlier, the information, goals, policies, and programs contained in the ConPlan and AP are consistent with those contained within the City’s Housing Element and other elements of the General Plan. All housing development activities undertaken within the City are subject to review for consistency with the City’s General Plan and its adopted development policies. In cases of conflict between the ConPlan and the General Plan, the policies of the General Plan will prevail.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
Consistent with the information provided in Section SP-55 of the ConPlan, an important tool to ensure development of adequate housing is through the provision of a range of incentives to develop needed residential units. The following tools are included in the zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance as incentives to development, particularly to support affordable housing projects:
• Density Increase: Residential density may be doubled for affordable senior housing projectsin the Residential Multifamily Districts. This eliminates the need to use the Density Bonus provision of the ordinance, which can add time to the approval process. • Density Bonus Ordinance: The City’s ordinance was amended in 2008 to provide as much flexibility as possible in approving affordable housing projects. This ordinance does not establish a cap on density, nor does it limit the number of concessions, incentives, or waivers of development standards that can be granted. This approach will facilitate development of more affordable units than would have been possible under the basic limitations of state law or the City’s previous density bonus ordinance.
• The zoning code includes basic standards for the development of small-lot subdivisions. In addition to allowing reduced lot sizes, it also provides for reduction in building setbacks, lot coverage, and covered parking requirements. The intent of the provision is to encourage infill development through the construction of a single-family product at higher densities, which may produce affordable housing units.
• Assembly Bill AB 2162 requires that supportive housing be “a use by right” in zoning districts where multiple family and mixed uses are permitted, including nonresidential zoning districts permittingmultiple family usesifrequirementsspecified in the implementing regulations aremet.

Introduction:

Many of the housing problems for low-income households, the elderly, and other special needs populations are primarily related to income and substandard units. Housing priorities and strategies reflect those conditions. Housing objectives focus on the need to increase the supply of affordable units, as well as rehabilitate the existing stock. Community development objectives primarily address increasing the accessibility of public facilities, improving infrastructure, providing economic development opportunities, and providing social services and education.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs As funding is available, the City will continue to address the priority needs identified in the 2020-24 ConPlan. As discussed in Section AP-35, the need for affordable housing as well as housing and services for special needs and high-risk populations, continue to be an underserved need in the community. As such, the City will continue to address these needsthrough its housing programsfor the 2023-24 Program Year. In particular, public service activities recommended for this program year include: transitional housing and shelter services; youth and family mentoring and support services; and housing rental loan fund services. Other projects selected that will address underserved needs at a broader level include:
microenterprise development activities; ADA-compliant facility improvements (including curb ramps and sidewalk capital improvement project); code enforcement activities; and infrastructure improvements.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing As discussed in further detail in Section AP-55, the City plans to undertake a variety of projects and activities to foster and maintain its stock of affordable housing during the 2023-24 Program Year as follows:
• In accordance with rental and ownership housing rehabilitation goals established in the ConPlan, the City intends to rehabilitate a number of units annually. • The City also intends to partner with local developers to meet its affordable housing new construction goals for rental and ownership units established in the ConPlan. • Utilizing available funding resources, it is projected that a minimum of five homebuyer assistance loans will be provided to LMI households.
• The City also intends to seek additional funding opportunities that support local affordable housing activities by applying for state-administered programs such as the CalHOME program, Encampment Resolution program, and Homekey.
• Also, the City, Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA), the McConnell Foundation, and K2 have partnered in the development of Block 7 Affordable Housing Project, a four-story- mixed use Annual AP

• Additional projects that are anticipated for the 2023-24 Program Year include partnerships with the local CHDO and other local nonprofit organizations to expand the availability of rental units. • Finally, it is also anticipated that at least 1,786 vouchers per month will be available through the HCV Rental Assistance program.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
All units under contract with the RHA are inspected at lease-up and a biennial basis. The inspectors are trained to identify potential lead-based paint hazards. Any such hazards, when identified, must be alleviated by the landlord prior to lease-up. The RHA is in full compliance with regulations detailing the timetable for implementation of lead-based paint guidelines for public housing authorities.

Lead-based assessment and abatement of all lead-based paint hazards will continue to be a requirement on all CDBG and HOME-funded housing projects during the 2023-24 Program Year. Furthermore, CDBG Revolving Loan Funds will be allocated specifically for the testing and remediation of lead-based paint hazards on applicable projects.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families Programs and activities described within this document fall within a number of categories, some having only a minor impact on moving a family out of poverty. These essential needs activities will not increase earning power of a family in poverty and are not likely to result in financial betterment. They are critical, however, to meeting basic needs such asfood, shelter, and health care, generally on an emergency basis.

In addition to activities that address basic needs, there are a number of activities and programs proposed to be funded that do have the potential to bring positive change to a family in poverty. These are the programs that address barriers to independence, including employment, along with housing, such as the Family Self-Sufficiency Program and the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Programs; the homeless transitional programs, and the microenterprise assistance programs. The City will aggressively pursue increasing the availability of these and similarly designed programs as funding arises.

A third type of activity proposed to be funded consists of activities that are preventative in nature. These activities are focused on the at-risk youth of our community and strive to break the generational effect that poverty imposes. Through counseling and mentoring activities, youth are given an opportunity to envision a different, more positive, future for themselves.

The City, through its economic development efforts, strives to promote activities that will ultimately have major impacts on the community, thus reducing poverty. The City will continue to work with the public and private sectors seeking mutual opportunities that will provide jobs to greatly improve employment opportunities for those in need in the Redding area.

$50,000 funding will be allocated to microenterprise support and retention activities.

City schools continue to lead the fight to educate children starting at the preschool level on the negative effects of drug use. Drug and alcohol abuse, and its companion, crime, have pulled far too many families into poverty. As stated above, a portion of 2023-24 CDBG funding is proposed to assist three local agencies working with at-risk youth and families. The goal of these activities is to end the familial cycle of poverty, abuse, and crime before it reaches another generation.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The success of the strategy outlined in the ConPlan will be the result of the continued dedicated efforts of the many different individuals and groups in the Redding community as identified in the 2020-24 ConPlan.

The City, as well as other communities across the nation, faces increasingly diverse needs in the community with limited resources to implement the goals and objectives identified in the ConPlan.

However, the City remains dedicated to maximizing those resources and anticipates that during the coming year new affordable housing opportunities will become a reality through the combined efforts of both nonprofit and for-profit developers, the Federal, State, and local government, the private lending community, and nonprofit service organizations.

During the 2023-24 Program Year, the City will continue to be the primary provider of rehabilitation services for the conservation of the community’s existing housing stock, including mobile homes. It will continue to provide rental assistance to the very-low-income population and to a variety of special groups in conjunction with supportive housing programs. The City has an established service delivery system for housing-related programs, operating both the RHA and a multifaceted affordable housing program that includes rehabilitation of the existing housing stock, development of new affordable housing units, and assistance to income-eligible homebuyers. The City has applied for State Encampment Resolution Funding to address chronic homelessness. Those funds would assist in part with a Day Resource Center to coordinate services and provide a consistent supportive location for people who are homeless to connect to services. City staff is experienced with securing State and Federal funding for housing and has a strong working relationship with the local lending and real estate communities. Staff is committed to seeking out and capturing any and all financial resources that become available in order to meet community needs.

The local business entities that will play a role in the successful implementation of the City’s housing strategy include the development community, the real estate community, and the area’s mortgage lenders. The City will continue its efforts to encourage the local development of affordable units.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will maintain its collaborations with local housing and supportive service providers. The City has more than 45 years of experience providing housing and public services to the City’s citizens.

resources to further its goals of increasing and enhancing affordable housing opportunities, providing effective social and supportive services to those in need, and enhancing the quality of life for its citizens.

As stated earlier, during 2023-24 Program Year, the City will continue to be an active participant agency on the NorCal CoC, which maintains active collaborative opportunities with community stakeholders.

This includes representatives from public and private agencies such as the Employment Development Department, Shasta County Housing and Community Action Agency, U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs, Shasta County Health and Human Services, Legal Services of Northern California, Independent Living Services of Northern California, Veteran’s Resource Centers, One SAFE Place, and Good News Rescue Mission.

As stated earlier, typically affordable housing providers that utilize HOME or CDBG funds, provided within their marketing plans a first-come, first-served strategy. However, we may allow a beneficiary to give preferences to segments of the low-income population, depending on the particulars of the project. For example, based on 24 CFR 92.253(d), if the preference is located and described within theAP.

HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2)

1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows:

The City invests its HOME funds as outlined in 92.205(b).

2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is asfollows:

The City shall invest all recaptured funds within three years of receipt pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 33413. This shall ensure an equal number of units, as removed from the program, are made available to persons of the same income levels. Recapture procedures shall comply with the HOME program regulations detailed at 24 CFR 92.254(a)(5)(ii).

Although the City presently does not use HOME funds for the first-time Homebuyer Program, the affordability period is based on the amount of HOME investment (i.e. HP loan) to the Borrower.

During the affordability period, the City shall ensure that all or a portion of the HOME investment is recaptured if the home does not continue to be the Borrower’s principalresidence.

The affordability periods are as follows:

Amount per unit Minimum period of Affordability in years Under $15,000 5
$15,000 to $40,000 10
Over $40,000 15
The City has adopted the Recapture option for recoupment of the HOME investment. The entire amount of the HOME investment shall be recaptured from the Borrower during the affordability period pursuant to 24 CFR 92.254(a) (5)(ii). In cases of short sales or foreclosures that result in no net proceeds, or net proceeds are insufficient to repay the entire HOME investment, the City shall recapture only the net proceeds that are available, if any. Net proceeds are the sales price minus superior loan repayment (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs.

3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are asfollows:

the event the Property should no longer be the principal residence of Borrower before the conclusion of the affordability period, the City shall recapture all or a portion of the HOME funds. This recapture requirement is triggered by a sale (voluntary or involuntary) of the Property. The recaptured amount will not exceed the net proceeds, if any. The net proceeds are the sales price minus the superior loan repayment (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs. The City may recapture the entire amount of the HOME funds and any closing costs or if the net proceeds are not sufficient to recapture the full HOME investment the City may share the net proceeds with the Borrower.

4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are asfollows:

As part of its HOME Rental Rehabilitation Loan Policy, the City has adopted the following guidelines for refinancing existing debt secured by rental housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME funds:

1. Refinancing existing debt will be considered for multi-family projects utilizing HOME funds to rehabilitate the units if refinancing is determined to be necessary to permit or continue affordability under §92.252. Regardless of the amount of HOME funds invested, the minimum affordability period shall be 15 years. The following conditions must be met for the City to consider refinancing existing debt: a.) Rehabilitation of the units must be the primary eligible activity demonstrated by the requirement that a minimum of sixty (60%) percent of the Home resources provided to the project shall be for direct rehabilitation costs; b.) City underwriting for the proposed HOME refinancing shall include a review of management practices demonstrating that disinvestment in the property has not occurred, that the long-term needs of the project can be met and that the feasibility of serving the targeted population over an extended affordability period can be shown; c.) As part of the request for funds, the applicant must state whether the refinancing is necessary to maintain current affordable units, create additional affordable units, or both; and d.) The proposed refinancing shall not refinance an existing multi-family loan made or insured by any Federal program, including CDBG.

2. Investment of CDBG or HOME funds for refinancing purposes shall be available city-wide with priority given to neighborhoods designated for revitalization.

Funds provided by the HOME program are an essential part of the City's efforts to preserve and enhance the availability of affordable housing in the Redding community.

The bulk of the City's HOME funds are earmarked for large project multi-family developments. The purpose of this strategy is to leverage HOME funding to the greatest extent possible for the development of the highest possible number of affordable housing units. For those persons that occupy these multifamily developments, access to these affordable units is typically based on first-come, first-served basis.

Turn over for these units, to the greatest extent possible are chosen from the same income categories and beneficiaries does not include preferences to employees of the City of Redding employees or students. Staff ensures that developers comply with fair housing, nondiscrimination, equal opportunity and marketing duties on an annually basis by checking:
• Federal fair housing and equal opportunity laws that prohibit discrimination against any person (prospective tenant, homebuyer, employment applicants, employees and businesses) based on race, color, religion, age, familial status, disability, national origin, sex, or any other arbitrary basis.
• Section 104(b) (2) of the Fair Housing Act requires that each HOME funding recipient certify that it is affirmatively furthering fair housing. Any recipient of federal housing funds must be proactive in encouraging participation in any housing projects or programsfunded through federalsources. • HOME Contractors must prominently display a Fair Housing poster at rental offices and project sites from the beginning of construction through occupancy, or in front of existing multifamily buildings or single-family houses (24 CFR 110.10).
• The Fair Housing poster shall be 11 inches by 14 inches (24 CFR 110.25). A facsimile may be used if the poster and lettering are equivalent in size and legibility to the poster available from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (24 CFR 110.20). • All advertising of residential real estate forsale, rent, or financing should contain an equal housing opportunity logotype, statement, orslogan as a means of educating the home-seeking public that the property is available to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability.
• Each housing program or project should have a marketing file with documentation of outreach efforts showing that all local persons have the opportunity to participate in the HOME funded activity.

Each project owner must adopt affirmative marketing procedures and requirements for rental and homebuyer projects containing five or more HOME-assisted housing units (24 CFR 92.351). Affirmative marketing steps consist of actions to provide information and otherwise attract eligible persons in the housing market area to the available housing, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status or disability.

Subject: Independent Evaluator’s Report of the Redding Electric Utility’s 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan 1 Introduction
The Redding Electric Utility (REU) contracted with Dudek to engage in an independent evaluation of its 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP). This independent evaluation report describes the technical review and evaluation of the WMP prepared by the REU. The WMP requirements are codified in California Public Utilities Code (PUC) Section 8387(b)(2) for local publicly owned electric utilities (POUs). PUC Section 8387(c) requires that an independent evaluator review and assess the comprehensiveness of a POU’s WMP and issue a summary report. The year 2023 is important for POUs because they are required by PUC Section 8387(b)(1) to comprehensively revise their WMPs “at least once every three years.”
Dudek conducted a review of REU’s 2023 WMP from January 20 to March 13, 2023. The focus of the evaluation was to determine the comprehensiveness of WMP and ensure it included all elements required under PUC Section 8387(b)(2) (listed in Attachment A).

In addition to evaluating the elements required by the PUC, Dudek reviewed the Wildfire Safety Advisory Board’s (WSAB’s) specific guidance for the REU published in their Guidance Advisory Opinion for the 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plans of Electric Publicly Owned Utilities and Rural Electrical Cooperatives (WSAB 2022).

This Independent Evaluator’s report contains the following elements: (1) an overview of the REU, (2) A review of the statutory requirements in PUC Section 8387(b)(2) for local POUs, (3) A review of the specific recommendations published by the WSAB for the REU 2022 WMP, (4) 2022 wildfire mitigation and prevention accomplishments of the REU, (5) an overview of the metrics used the REU’s WMP, and (6) a comparison of wildfire risk reduction strategies used by the REU with those used by similar utilities and municipal utility industry standards. 2 An Overview of the Redding Electric Utility
The REU service territory covers 61 square miles of the very northwestern end of the Central Valley, which transitions into the Cascade foothills. The City of Redding (City) is surrounded by mountains to the north, east, and west and relatively level agricultural lands to the south. Outermost parts of the City are part of the Cascade foothills, whereas southern and central areas are in the Sacramento Valley. The REU serves approximately 44,000 customers within Packet Pg. 305 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan 3-yr Independent Evaluator Final Report (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire TO: SHAWN AVERY
SUBJECT: INDEPENDENT EVALUATOR’S REPORT OF THE REDDING ELECTRIC UTILITY’S 2023 WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN 12108
MARCH 20
the City, primarily residential (86%) and commercial (12%) customers. The core of the REU’s service territory is a fully developed, urban area. The east and west sides of their service territory, located in the foothills, are not fully developed and contain a mixture of residential communities of varying densities and areas of natural vegetation.

This portion accounts for approximately 62% of the REU’s service territory and is classified as Wildland Urban Interface (Carlson 2022). Approximately 46% of their service territory lies within either a Tier 2 or Tier 3 fire threat district. The REU owns and operates transmission, distribution, and generation assets, with approximately 65% of their electrical lines located underground.

The REU’s service territory experiences a lengthy fire season (April to November) during the typical year. During exceptionally dry years, the fire season will be year-round. As a result, in a typical year there will be on average 100 or more vegetation fires. The destructive Carr fire in 2018 burned a portion of the west side of the REU’s service territory, including several hundred homes.
3 Statutory Requirements for Wildfire Mitigation Plans
PUC Section 8387(b)(2) lists the statutory requirements for WMPs. These are the specific elements that the independent evaluator must review to make its determination for this report. The specific elements that must be addressed in REU’s WMP are included in Table A-1 (see Attachment A) and are summarized here for reference. ▪ Staff responsibilities
▪ General objectives
▪ Wildfire risk reduction program descriptions
▪ The metrics used to evaluate the WMP’s performance
▪ How the application of previously identified metrics has informed the WMP ▪ Protocols for reclosers, de-energization, and public safety power shut-off ▪ Procedures for community notification and outreach
▪ Vegetation management plans
▪ Electrical equipment and infrastructure inspection plans ▪ Description of wildfire risks and drivers for those risks throughout the service territory, including design, construction, operation, and maintenance of equipment and facilities and topographic and climatological risk factors
▪ Identification of any geographic area in the service territory that is a higher wildfire threat than is identified in a commission fire threat map
▪ Identification of enterprise-wide safety risk and wildfire-related risks ▪ How the service will be restored after a wildfire
▪ The processes and procedures used to monitor and audit the implementation of the WMP and identify any deficiencies, and the effectiveness of electrical line and equipment inspections Packet Pg. 306 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan 3-yr Independent Evaluator Final Report (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire TO: SHAWN AVERY

4 Public Utility Code Requirements
Dudek found that REU’s WMP meets the statutory requirements of comprehensiveness per PUC Section 8387. The review of the WMP’s elements is summarized relative to the application of the WMP. Dudek’s assessment is in bold text beneath the description of the requirement. The table in Attachment A lists each required element for REU’s WMP and provides Dudek’s initial assessment of the comprehensiveness of that element within the WMP that was reported to the REU in the first review in February and the final assessment.

Minimizing Wildfire Risks
PUC Section 8387(a) requires the following: “Each local publicly owned electric utility and electrical cooperative shall construct, maintain, and operate its electrical lines and equipment in a manner that will minimize the risk of wildfire posed by those electrical lines and equipment.” The REU’s WMP and the standard operating procedures (SOPs) referenced in the WMP comprehensively describe the safety-related measures that the REU follows to reduce its risk of causing wildfires. Dudek has determined that REU complies with this requirement through the design of its system, its SOPs, and the implementation of wildfire risk reduction and wildfire response strategies.

Evaluation of WMP Elements
Below is a summary of the WMP elements as required by PUC Section 8387, including restating sections of the WMP where applicable.
8387(b)(2)(A): Responsibilities of Persons Responsible for Executing the Plan.

Section 3 A of the REU WMP comprehensively describes staff responsibilities and functions in the implementation of their WMP.
8387(b)(2)(B): Objectives of the Wildfire Mitigation Plan Sections 2 A–2 D of the REU WMP comprehensively describe the REU’s four objectives. 8387(b)(2)(C): Prevention Strategies and Programs
Chapter 5 in the REU WMP describes the utility’s wildfire prevention strategies. It is very comprehensive, covering existing programs, progress in wildfire prevention efforts, and future work. Chapter 5 includes 2022 equipment hardening accomplishments and the specific vegetation management actions the REU performs that exceed GO 95 requirements. This section references the REU’s 2022 Monitoring and Auditing Annual Report on Wildfire Mitigation, which contains further details of the wildfire risk reduction the REU has completed. 8387(b)(2)(D): Metrics and Assumptions for Measuring WMP Performance Section 8 A in the REU WMP describes the two metrics the REU uses to evaluate WMP performance.

The metrics, new wildfire ignitions and wires down events, continue to be effective metrics for the Packet Pg. 307 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan 3-yr Independent Evaluator Final Report (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire TO: SHAWN AVERY

MARCH 20
REU’s WMP because each metric event the REU records additional relevant data (e.g., which fire threat district did the event originate in, did the event occur during red flag warning conditions) .

The REU’s 2022 Monitoring and Auditing Annual Report on Wildfire Mitigation contains the 2022 data for the two metrics in the WMP.
8387(b)(2)(E): Impact of Previous Metrics on WMP
Section 8 B of the REU WMP describes the improvements that the REU has made to their wildfire prevention programs based on the data collected from the WMP metrics, as well as describing how the REU plans to improve the data they collect for both metrics. The 2022 Monitoring and Auditing Annual Report on Wildfire Mitigation reviews the data collected for both metrics. 8387(b)(2)(F): Reclosing Protocols
Section 5 F in the REU’s WMP describes the utility’s reclosing protocols, specifically that automatic reclosing schemes are disabled on circuits that traverse Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas. Appendix F of the WMP contains REU’s SOP-35, which describes the REU’s protocols for reclosers during red flag warnings. 8387(b)(2)(G): De-energization Notification Procedures
Section 5 G in the REU WMP describes the utility’s public safety power shut-off stance, specifically that REU will not preemptively initiate a public safety power shut-off during periods of high fire danger.

REU will continue to shut off power when directed to by Redding Fire Department, Redding Police Department, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or other emergency responding agencies. This section also contains its public safety and notification plans. REU has several operating customer notification systems, including its website, Facebook, Twitter, and the City of Redding Communications Team. The website includes an outage map and an up-to-date news feed. 8387(b)(2)(H): Vegetation Management
Section 5 A of the REU WMP, the REU Wildfire Prevention and Improved Response Program (Appendix B to the WMP), and REU’s 2022 Monitoring and Auditing Annual Report on Wildfire Mitigation (Appendix G to the WMP) contain a comprehensive description of the vegetation management program and the work accomplished in 2022.

REU’s 2022 Monitoring and Auditing Annual Report on Wildfire Mitigation (Appendix G to the WMP) contains the results of the 2022 internal audit.
5 Wildfire Safety Advisory Board Guidance
Advisory Opinions
In November 2022 the WSAB published a report with a description of general recommendations for improving the WMPs for POUs and rural electrical cooperatives. In addition, the report provided specific recommendations for each utility that submitted a WMP for review by the board. Dudek reviewed the WSAB’s report, and the section below contains a summary of each recommendation the WSAB had for the REU’s 2022 WMP and whether the 2023 WMP has addressed the WSAB’s recommendation (WSAB 2022). The materials published by the WSAB and the recommendations within are for guidance and are not statutory requirements.

MARCH 20

1. The WSAB reiterates its recommendation that the context setting template, cross-reference table, and other enhancements included in the informational response be incorporated in the appropriate sections of the WMP itself, preventing the need to look at different places in the WMP.

The cross reference to statutory requirements is on page 3 and the context setting table is on page 15.

Both are in appropriate sections of the WMP.

2. Provide a short paragraph in future WMPs that describes the adoption, public comment, and any altered budget processes within the WMP itself, as envisioned by the proposed new WSAB WMP template.

Chapter 9 on page 32 of the WMP describes REU’s WMP adoption process.

3. The WSAB requests that Redding file and perhaps more prominently point to the REU’s 2022 Monitoring & Auditing Annual Report on Wildfire Mitigation and find a way to incorporate the annual strategy progress reporting more concretely within the filed WMP.

The REU 2022 Monitoring and Auditing Annual Report on Wildfire Mitigation is a very detailed and helpful reference for the WMP. The REU 2023 WMP incorporates and references this report, which includes 2022 accomplishments, metric data, and a detailed description of the utility’s wildfire risk mitigation programs. The REU’s 2022 Monitoring and Auditing Annual Report on Wildfire Mitigation is found in Appendix G of the WMP.

4. Include a version history section and a description of changes section in the WMP.

Chapter 10 on page 33 of the WMP contains a table with the version history and a summary of the changes.

5. Discuss the impact of climate change on wildfire risks and potential mitigation actions to address those increased risks. The WSAB notes that there is very little information related to climate risks and potential changes in those risks in the Redding WMP.

The impacts of climate change on wildfire risks are described in Section 4 D of the WMP. The REU has already partnered with the City to expand their vegetation treatment programs in wildland urban interface areas in the city and helped fund the hiring of additional firefighters to mitigate the risk of increased new ignitions and the higher likelihood of higher intensity/harder to suppress fires.

6. Update Appendix D, an update appears to have been missed on page 18, which states that the program specifics are being designed and will be completed by mid-2021, 6 months prior to the date of the WMP.

The table on page 2 of Appendix D has been updated to December 2022.

7. Provide a description as to whether there are wildfire-related reliability concerns deriving from sources and systems such as the Western Area Power Authority and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation that have significant footprints in the area around Redding.

REU is a customer of energy produced by Western Area Power Authority facilities from the north, with two connections to Keswick Substation, and from the south, with three connections to Airport Substation.

However, the REU is not dependent on the Western Area Power Authority to meet the electrical load demands for the city. If Western Area Power Authority facilities near Redding (Shasta Dam, Keswick Dam) were forced to de-energize due to nearby wildfire, the REU would be able to make up for the lost load by a combination of internal generation and external electricity producers.

Implementing Wildfire Mitigation Plan Wildfire
Prevention Strategies
Appendix G contains the REU’s 2022 accomplishments regarding the wildfire prevention strategies described in their WMP. The REU accomplished the following.

Vegetation Management
▪ Inspected, patrolled, and cleared 314.74 of 315.1 acres of 115-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines in high-risk Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas.
▪ Created a 30-foot perimeter around nine substations and the Redding Power Plant, clearing approximately 70 acres in Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 zones.
▪ Inspected, patrolled, and cleared 225.71 of 230.27 acres of 12 kV distribution lines in high-risk Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas to comply with California Public Utilities Commission and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection requirements.
▪ Trimmed 3,281 trees and removed another 703 trees directly impacting transmission and distribution power lines.

Inspections
▪ Completed the annual 115 kV 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 and Tier 3 12 kV lines by September 30, 2022.

Situation Awareness
▪ In October 2022, an aerial imagery 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. ▪ Aerial patrols using unmanned aerial vehicles when necessary. ▪ Radio system replacement. Redding Police Department, REU, and Redding Fire Department transitioned to a new citywide fixed communications platform.

Operational Practices
▪ 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. ▪ An Emergency 911 software application was installed at the Power Control Center, providing immediate notifications directly from the Shasta Area Safety Communications Agency (SHASCOM) of wildfires in or near the City limits.

System Hardening
▪ As of December 22, 2022, 397 out of 800 wooden poles in high fire threat zones have been wrapped with fire retardant webbing.
▪ Modifications were made to one additional 12 kV distribution circuit, allowing the automatic reclosing action to be re-enabled for this circuit during red flag warnings. 7 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Metric Overview
Metrics help POUs determine if their wildfire prevention strategies are effective for reducing the risk of a wildfire ignited by their electrical equipment. In 2020 the California Municipal Utilities Association published a WMP template for POUs to use in the preparation of their WMPs. This template included two metrics: number of fire ignition events and wires down events. These two metrics are general and do not provide the POU a lot of information about the effectiveness of their wildfire prevention strategies. As POUs have gained more experience with their WMPs they have either adopted new metrics or added supplemental data, such as location, cause, and whether the event occurred in a High Fire Threat District, that increases the usefulness of these two metrics.

The REU has used the two initial metrics in the previous versions of their WMP and continues to use them in the 2023 WMP. The REU supplements the basic data collected for these metrics by recording the following information.

For fire ignition events, REU records the fire threat zone location and whether the event occurred during a red flag warning. For wires down events, REU records the fire threat zone, line voltage, and cause. The data for the two metrics was published in the REU’s 2022 Monitoring and Audit Report on Wildfire Mitigation, Appendix G in their WMP. Table 1 and 2 below show the data collected for each metric in 2022.

These two metrics with the supplemental data are useful for informing the REU about the effectiveness of their wildfire prevention strategies and if the utility is making progress in reducing the risk of a wildfire being started by their electrical equipment. There may be opportunities in the future as the REU collects more data for each metric for the REU to adopt additional wildfire prevention strategies based on fire ignition or wires down cause and location. 8 Comparison of Industry Standards and Similar Utility
Wildfire Prevention Strategies
As part of this review of the REU’s 2023 WMP, Dudek compared the wildfire prevention strategies described in the plan to the strategies being implemented by POUs that are similar to the REU in terms of service territory size, customer class, owned assets, and wildfire risk. The REU is unique in that it is a large city with a sizable service territory that is generally surrounded by undeveloped or sparsely developed lands. Other utilities of comparable size as the REU are located in urban areas. For this independent evaluator’s report, the strategies of Anaheim Public Utilities (APU) and Glendale Water and Power (GWP) were selected to compare against the REU’s wildfire prevention strategies. The REU, the APU, and GWP have similar assets (all have generation, transmission, and distribution assets), similar customers and customer population, and all have large wildland urban interface areas/High Fire Threat District areas within their territory. Also, all three have experienced destructive wildfires (in terms of structures lost) in their service territories.

8.1 Vegetation Management
All three utilities implement vegetation management programs that exceed GO 95 requirements to include the management of surface vegetation around and beneath electrical equipment, with the specific goal of preventing the rapid spread of a new wildfire ignition. Vegetation management techniques include the removal of chaparral or brush, mowing of annual vegetation, and the management of flammable invasive species such scotch broom and mustard. All utilities employ several vegetation management techniques based on terrain and vegetation cover type, including manual treatment and prescribed herbivory. All three utilities actively work with their local fire departments to coordinate and fund vegetation management activities in high-risk areas in their service territories.

8.2 System Hardening
Equipment Upgrades
All three utilities have ongoing upgrade programs that are designed to reduce the risk of outage, equipment failure, and new wildfire ignitions. These include the following:
▪ Installing animal deterrents such as raptor framing and squirrel guards. ▪ Installing covered conductor (tree wire) on lines that pass through areas of thick tree canopy. ▪ Increasing spacing between wires attached to cross arms mounted on poles in High Fire Threat Districts.

Construction Standards
All three utilities have revised construction standards to reduce the risk of fire ignited by the failure of their electrical equipment, which include include animal deterrents, lightning arresters, and arc suppression fusing.

SUBJECT: INDEPENDENT EVALUATOR’S REPORT OF THE REDDING ELECTRIC UTILITY’S 2023 WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN 12108
MARCH 20
Pole Upgrades and Replacement
All three utilities have ongoing programs to replace combustible wooden poles and cross-arms with non-combustible steel poles. All three utilities also have programs to increase the ignition resistance of wooden poles remaining in high fire threat areas by treating the poles with fire retardant chemicals or wrapping the poles in fire retardant material.

Undergrounding
All three utilities have ongoing programs to convert overhead lines to underground where feasible and economical. All three utilities have a policy of requiring new installations to be undergrounded unless doing so would be infeasible.

Recloser Policy
All three utilities have recloser policies for circuits in their High Fire Threat Districts that include disabling automatic reclosers during periods of high fire danger such during red flag warnings.

8.3 Situational Awareness
Cameras for Utility Operations, Fire Detection, and Mitigation All three utilities are part of their regional network of wildfire detection cameras and have camera locations in their service territories. The REU and APU have installed several of these cameras in their territories, while GWP relies on cameras installed by investor owned utilities.
9 Conclusion
The REU has prepared a comprehensive WMP for 2023. The plan meets all statutory requirements described in PUC Section 8387(b)(2) for a POU. The REU has also considered the recommendations of the Wildfire Safety Advisory Board and revised their WMP appropriately. The REU’s WMP with the provided appendices describes a wildfire mitigation program that accurately assesses the risks and risk drivers present in their service territory and implements preventative strategies that are effective at reducing the wildfire risk of these risks and risk drivers.

Based on the wildfire prevention programs described in the WMP and the progress the REU has made in its wildfire prevention programs, the REU takes the risk of wildfire in its service territory seriously and is making a serious effort to reduce the risk that its equipment starts or aids in the spread of a wildfire.

Sincerely,

1. OVERVIEW
A. POLICY STATEMENT
REU has been operating its electric system for over one-hundred years. System protection for both public and asset safety has been paramount. Given the recent increase of catastrophic wildfires in California, the state passed Senate Bill (SB) 901 in September 2018. The law requires utilities to prepare wildfire mitigation measures if the utility’s overhead electrical lines and equipment are located in an area that has a significant risk of wildfire resulting from those electrical lines and equipment. The law requires the wildfire mitigation measures to incorporate specified information and procedures and requires the local publicly owned electric utility, before January 1, 2020, and annually thereafter, to prepare a wildfire mitigation plan. Portions of Redding Electric Utility’s (REU) electrical infrastructure is located in and adjacent to both California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) designated Tier 2 and 3 wildfire threat areas.

REU’s overarching goal is to provide safe, reliable, and economic electric service to its local community. In order to meet this goal, REU constructs, maintains, and operates its electrical lines and equipment in a manner that minimizes the risk of catastrophic wildfire posed by its electrical lines and equipment.

B. PURPOSE OF THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan (Plan) describes the range of activities that REU is taking or considering, to mitigate the threat of power-line ignited wildfires, including its various programs, policies, and procedures. This plan complies with the requirements of Public Utilities Code section 8387. The Plan is iterative, promotes continuous improvement year-over-year, and represents our best efforts to implement industry best practices in a prudent and reasonable manner in conjunction with various industry associations Table 1 below summarizes the plan compliance with corresponding sections referenced.

REU is a department within the City of Redding. For wildfire prevention and response, REU is subordinate to the City of Redding (COR) Fire Department and COR Police Department.

The City of Redding adopted a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan in 2015. The REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan supports the aspirational goals of that plan in the area of Wildland Fire especially in the wildland urban interface (WUI) described in Section 7.4. The objectives of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan specifically supported by this REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan are as follows:

1. City Objective 5.B: Educate the public about wildland fire dangers and the steps that can be taken to prevent or minimize their effects.

2. City Objective 5.C: Reduce the probability of fire ignitions.

3. City Objective 5.D: Maintain Emergency Operations Center for coordination of information and resources.

4. City Objective 5.E: Reduce the potential for destructive actions of the fire once ignition occurs, utilizing fire pre-plans, ensuring a properly trained, staffed, and equipped emergency response capability, and timely response to prevent the spread of the fire, minimizing risks to humans and property.
a. Action 5.E.1: Ensure that adequate resources are available to pre-plan for incidents that may occur in the very high fire hazard severity zones within the City of Redding.
b. Action 5.E.4: Increase staffing of current two-person companies to threeperson companies to improve capabilities and initial actions at fire incidences within the community as additional funding becomes available.

The City of Redding has been working with the non-profit organization, Community Planning Assistance for Wildfire (CPAW) on a land use planning solution to better manage the City’s wildland-urban interface (WUI) and enhance the City of Redding’s resiliency to wildfire. The Redding Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation Plan will assist in linking the recommendations from CPAW and reducing the impacts of wildfires to our community.

C. ORGANIZATION OF THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan includes the following elements:

Section 2 - Objectives of the Plan;
Section 3 - Roles and responsibilities for carrying out the Plan; Section 4 - Identification of key wildfire risks and risk drivers; Section 5 - Description of wildfire prevention, mitigation, and response strategies and programs; Section 6 - Community outreach and education;
Section 7 - Restoration of service following a wildfire; Section 8 - Metrics for evaluating the performance of the Plan and identifying areas for improvement;
Section 9 - Independent audit of the Plan;
Section 10 - Plan revision history.

2. OBJECTIVES OF THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN
A. MINIMIZING SOURCES OF IGNITION
The primary goal of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to minimize the probability that REU’s transmission and distribution system may be the origin or contributing source for the ignition of a fire as well as to protect the system from wildfire damage.

REU is in the process of evaluating prudent and cost-effective improvements to its physical assets, operations, and training to help meet this objective. REU will implement those changes consistent with this Plan as staffing and budget allows.

B. RESILIENCY OF THE ELECTRIC GRID
The secondary goal of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to improve the resiliency of the electric grid. As part of the development and on-going implementation of this plan, REU will assess new industry practices and technologies that will reduce the likelihood of an interruption (frequency) in service and improve the restoration (duration) of service.

Other resiliency efforts include mitigating fire fuels located in the WUI and greenbelts likely to be a threat to our facilities and equipment. Additionally, improved fire response will improve resiliency and help avoid the need for public safety power shut off protocols during high fire threat weather. Fire fuels reduction and improved fire response are addressed in the REU Wildfire Prevention and Improved Response Program described in Section 5.

C. WILDFIRE PREVENTION STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS
The third goal for the Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to minimize the spread of wildfire within and near REU assets.

1. Strategies
The following strategies are part of this Plan and described in more detail in Section 5. • VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
These strategies help to control vegetation near REU overhead sub-transmission and distribution lines so they better adhere to clearance specifications. They also include fire fuels mitigation and other work in order to prevent our system from causing a fire and to protect our system from fire.
• ENHANCED INSPECTIONS
These strategies consist of assessment and diagnostic activities as well as associated corrective actions. The practices in this category aim to ensure all infrastructure is in working condition and vegetation adheres to defined minimum distance specifications. • SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
These strategies consist of methods to improve system visualization and awareness of environmental conditions. The practices in this category aim to provide tools to improve the other components of the plan. For example, camera installation will improve system and vegetation inspection and maintenance practices.
• OPERATIONAL PRACTICES
These strategies consist of proactive, day-to-day actions taken to mitigate wildfire risks.

The practices in this category aim to ensure REU is prepared in high-risk situations, such as dry, windy environmental conditions.
• SYSTEM HARDENING
These strategies consist of system, equipment, and structure design and technical upgrades.

The practices in this category aim to improve system hardening to prevent contact between infrastructure and fuel sources, such as vegetation and animals. It also includes making the system more resilient to wildfire and other disasters.
• PUBLIC SAFETY AND NOTIFICATION
These strategies will focus on ways to engage the community as partners in preventing and identifying wildfire risk. They include improving outage notification and other items in the interest of public safety.
• RECLOSING AND DEENERGIZATION
These strategies include discussion of deenergization as well as automatic circuit reclosing.

D. COORDINATION WITH CITY OF REDDING DEPARTMENTS
Redding Fire Department
The COR Fire Department is the lead agency in cooperation with REU for implementation of the REU Wildfire Prevention and Improved Response Program. RFD, as the City’s lead for emergency operations, directs REU regarding public safety priorities.

Redding Police Department
REU coordinates with RPD and is subordinate for emergency and public safety issues. REU will work closely with the RPD for situational awareness and other public safety issues related to this Plan.

Redding Public Works Department
REU is investigating opportunities to harden the electrical system and increase survivability for critical water and wastewater infrastructure. During wildfires and other public safety events, REU works with Public Works to ensure power to water-pumping stations, wastewater plants, and other critical infrastructure. These facilities are not only critical for defending the City from wildfire, but are essential for safe repopulation following any disaster. Additionally, the Redding Area Bus Authority (RABA) is a critical operation for evacuations during emergencies and will be part of the infrastructure considered for reliability improvements.

Redding Community Services Department
REU is partnered with the COR Community Services Department as part of the REU Wildfire Prevention and Improved Response Program for fire fuels mitigation as well as other programs and projects.

Other COR Departments and Administration
REU as a member of the City of Redding Team will work to ensure information regarding warnings, alerts, and widespread outages are shared with other departments. The City Communications Team will be an integral part of getting information out to the media and public and will coordinate with either and/or both the City’s EOC or REU’s DOC as well as any Incident Command in place.

E. CAL OES STANDARDIZED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
As a utility department of the COR located in Shasta County, REU may participate in various emergency operation centers depending on the situation and lead agency. As a local governmental agency, COR has planning, communication, and coordination obligations pursuant to the California Office of Emergency Services’ Standardized Emergency Management System (“SEMS”) Regulations, adopted in accordance with Government Code section 8607. The SEMS Regulations specify roles, responsibilities, and structures of communications at five different levels: field response, local government, operational area, regional, and state. The COR (via Redding Fire Department) maintains an All Hazards Emergency Operations Plan that includes REU. The COR works closely with Shasta County to coordinate emergency operations, including the Shasta County Sherriff’s Office of Emergency Services (OES).

Packet Pg. 335 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2023 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 6.0
May 1, 2023 14
The Shasta County Sheriff's Office of Emergency Services (OES) coordinates with Federal, State, and local agencies to prepare, respond, and recover from emergencies and natural disasters. • OES is responsible for maintaining and updating the County Emergency Operation Plan (EOP), which is an all hazards plan for Shasta County.
• OES also coordinates and maintains the county Emergency Operation Center (EOC). The EOC can be used during a major incident to carry out the principles of emergency preparedness and emergency management between multiple agencies. • The Office of Emergency Services provides technical advice to the Sheriff on local emergency declarations and his direct link to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services during disasters or any other critical incidents. In the event of a major incident OES can work with CAL OES to obtain a Presidential proclamation. • OES works closely with other local agencies assisting them in preparing emergency plans and in disaster training. OES works as a point of contact for local agencies to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services.

Pursuant to this structure, REU coordinates and communicates with the relevant local, state and Federal agencies. This includes participating in City and County EOC exercises as well as providing annual safety meetings. Pursuant to the Emergency Operations Program, an REU EOC Liaison will participate in the City or County EOC using the standardized Incident Command System (ICS).

4. WILDFIRE RISK AND RISK DRIVERS
A. BACKGROUND
Within REU’s service territory and the surrounding areas, the primary risk drivers associated with geography and climate for wildfire are the following:
a) Extended drought
b) Vegetation type
c) Vegetation density (especially the West side and greenbelts) d) Weather
e) High winds
f) Terrain
g) Low humidity
h) Changing weather patterns
i) Communities at risk
j) Fire history

Version 6.0
May 1, 2023 15
B. ENTERPRISE SAFETY AND WILDFIRE RISK METHODOLOGY
In order to ascertain the level of risk to our system, REU looked at our historic outages caused by animals, birds, vegetation, car-pole accidents, and overhead equipment failures as a way to assess wildfire risk. Over the past four years, the combined number of sustained outages from the above list were down each year. Additionally, REU will review historic fire records to see if there are other areas of risk that should be addressed.

REU has conducted multiple operational risk inventories to determine the appropriate methodology when assessing risk. The following criteria were identified when assessing risk; severity; probability of occurrence; mitigation to be done; and speed of onset. Framework for an Operational Risk Committee was developed as a result of the analysis with the primary goal of managing all operational risks. This includes identifying, analyzing and prioritizing risks associated with catastrophic events, such as wildfires. The Operational Risk Committee identified key REU assets of which can be found in the 10-year Capital Improvement Program. Nearly 50% of the capital improvements have been implemented as of December, 2022.

C. SYSTEM AND OPERATIONAL RISK
REU designs and constructs its electric facilities to meet or exceed the relevant federal, state, or industry standard. REU treats CPUC General Order (GO) 95 as a key industry standard for design and construction standards for overhead electrical facilities and, as such, meets or exceeds all applicable standards in GO 95. Additionally, REU monitors and follows as appropriate the National Electric Safety Code.

Risk drivers associated with design, construction, operations, and maintenance, within our 60 square mile service territory include approximately 50% of territory that is CPUC Tier 2 and 3 high fire threat areas; including 18,000 acres adjacent to REU equipment and facilities, and 120 miles of overhead power lines.

D. GEOGRAPHICAL AND CLIMATE RISK
Redding typically experiences cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers creating extreme fire weather conditions especially from May through September. Daily temperatures during fire seasons (June-October) are usually above 90° Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of less than 30%.

Typical vegetation within wildland-urban interface areas includes blue oak, valley oak, gray pine, and annual grasses. Areas of dense brush and annual grasses are common, and result in high fire danger and significant fires especially during north wind events. These conditions combine to create extreme fire danger, with the city facing one of the highest wildfire threats in the state. The risk of catastrophic wildfire in the area rises as the recent trend of drought conditions increases.

While Redding experiences more than 100 fires annually, the summer of 2018 was historically damaging when California’s seventh most destructive fire moved into city limits. The Carr Fire of July 2018 resulted in the deaths of eight people and destroyed over 2,000 structures in Shasta County including 270 homes within Redding.

Redding Electric Utility recognizes the impacts to our forestry and the increased wildfires due to climate change throughout California and the Northwest. As such REU reviews the data portraying climate change in California and specifically in Redding through the Cal-Adapt.org collaboration of state funding programs along with university and private peer reviewed researchers. REU understands that temperatures are projected to rise in California during the 21st century which will potentially increase fire seasons due to the extended extreme heat. One of our key programs within the WFMP is our Wildfire Prevention and Response which takes into consideration these external climate factors. By partnering with key stakeholders within the City of Redding, such as the Parks, and Fire Department, we are focusing on reducing vegetation near distribution lines and substations, as well as decreasing response time by first responders for fires caused by or near REU infrastructure.

E. CPUC HIGH FIRE THREAT DISTRICTS
REU directly participated in the development of the California Public Utilities Commission’ s (CPUC) Fire-Threat Map, which designates a High-Fire Threat District. REU will incorporate the High Fire Threat District into its construction, inspection, maintenance, repair, and clearance practices, where applicable.

REU reviews CPUC Fire Threat Map annually to identify needed adjustments to hazard threat levels due to changes in urban development and/or vegetation conditions. When adjustments are identified, REU collaborates with Redding Fire Department and CAL FIRE to update the CPUC Fire Threat Map data and REU’s Fire Threat Map accordingly. There have not been any additional recommended areas to be added to the Tier 2 or 3 areas as of December 2020.

5. WILDFIRE PREVENTION STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS
A. STRATEGY – VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
REU meets or exceeds the minimum industry standard vegetation management practices. For transmission-level facilities, REU complies with North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Standard FAC-003-4, where applicable. For both transmission and distribution level facilities, REU meets: (1) Public Resources Code section 4292; (2) Public Resources Code section 4293; (3) GO 95 Rule 35; and (4) the GO 95 Appendix E Guidelines to Rule 35. These standards require significantly increased clearances in the High Fire Threat District. The recommended timeof-trim guidelines do not establish a mandatory standard, but instead provide useful guidance to utilities. REU will use specific knowledge of growing conditions and tree species to determine the appropriate time of trim clearance in each circumstance. REU treats both native and non-native trees in our service area. The following trees are vigorous in growth and are treated regularly: oak, ailanthus altissima, and poison oak. REU performs this work with nine arborists.

REU funds staff and equipment for vegetation management at the Redding Fire Department and Redding Parks Department to clear brush and trees away from poles, substations, REU’s powerplant, and various high fire threat areas in the Redding community. Additionally, the Parks staff conducts weed abatement around power poles in high threat areas. Power poles in high risk areas were treated with fire retardant material during the 2021 fire season. New technology was developed and REU started wrapping power poles in high-risk areas with a fire-retardant webbing, allowing for longer protection of the poles. Over 500 poles were wrapped in 2022 and will continue throughout the calendar year of 2023. REU utilizes goats in areas near power lines that are often difficult for personnel to reach. REU works directly with private property owners on vegetation management in high fire threat zones to lower fire risks. For a comprehensive list of prevention efforts conducted during the 2022 calendar year see Appendix G-2022 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Monitoring and Auditing Report.

The City of Redding Parks Department and REU Arborists perform the work listed below annually prior to the north state fire season each year. In addition to adopting the REU Wildfire Mitigation and Improved Response Program described below, enhancements to our traditional vegetation management described above include:
• No vertical coverage allowed above REU 115kVtransmission lines; • Provide vegetation control in a 30-foot perimeter around the Power Plant and substations as property lines and easements allow. All vegetation within the designated perimeter have been removed within four inches of earth and vegetation maintenance is performed annually at each location.
• Public land and greenbelts throughout the City of Redding are located in all three Tier levels and REU clears from ground to sky adjacent to REU facilities. • REU prioritizes vegetation management around all utility infrastructure in these areas. In conjunction with various City Departments, REU focuses on mitigating potential fire threats associated with illegal outdoor camps in greenbelt areas. • Customers not allowing clearing (refusing treatment) must sign form to refuse and that information becomes part of the customer’s file in the customer information system (CIS) database.
• Work with adjacent customers to get approval for wider clearance on their land. This could include tall, diseased, leaning trees that appear to be at risk of falling into our lines.

Coordinate with police and fire if necessary clearing is refused (forced trim); • Perform additional vegetation removal for fuels reduction in the easement on an annual rotation to ensure CPUC recommended clearances are maintained based on the fire hazard zone where each transmission and distribution line is located.

B. STRATEGY - ENHANCED INSPECTIONS
Inspection plays an important role in wildfire prevention. REU currently patrols its system regularly and plans to increase inspections. REU’s current inspection activities includes several components including annual infrared (IR) patrol of overhead lines and substations, intrusive inspection of wood poles, 115 KV lines inspected annually by helicopter, foot patrol, or unmanned potentially aerial vehicles (UAVs) with IR, aerial LIDAR (light detection and ranging), and GIS data collection and sharing.

The frequency of inspections has increased in the high fire threat areas with all Tiers being formally inspected by REU Operations personnel and specialized contractors. The equipment and labor needed for enhanced inspections has been augmented by contract inspection personnel as well as the improvement noted in the REU Technology Program. REU does not change the inspection frequency during Red Flag Warnings or other high fire danger periods. For a comprehensive list of enhanced inspection efforts conducted during the 2022 calendar year see Appendix G -2022 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Monitoring and Auditing Report.

C. STRATEGY - SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
Presently REU is working to install a new automated outage management system that has the ability to track customers affected by circuit outages (not individual customers until Automated Meter Infrastructure is approved in the future) and provide customer notification through outage mapping and interactive voice response (IVR).

Other efforts include the following technology in collaboration with RFD, RPD, and the City’s Information Technology (IT) Department:
• Installed strategically located surveillance cameras for early detection of fires, fire weather monitoring, or suspicious activity; This is also part of REU’s SB699 Physical Security Plan; • Expanded use of Automatic Vehicle Locators (AVL) for response and recovery for REU, RFD, and RPD;
• Use unmanned aerial vehicles during high fire threat days for early detection, and other uses in the interest of public safety;
• Implemented a common Motorola radio communication system for REU, RFD, and RPD for wildfire and disaster response and recovery;
• Provided human resources for implementation, operation, and maintenance of technologies:
• Customer reporting tools for safety issues;
• Installed the IQ FireWatch System providing early fire detection with advanced smoke analytics and artificial intelligence;
• Completed a state-of-the-art Department Operations Center to integrate and disseminate situational data.

Version 6.0
May 1, 2023 22
Other enhancement to public notification during high fire threat, actual fire, or other disaster events can be found in Appendix G-2022 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Monitoring and Auditing Report.

D. STRATEGY - OPERATIONAL PRACTICES
REU will operate the system in a manner that will minimize potential wildfire risks including taking all reasonable and practicable actions to minimize the risk of a catastrophic wildfire caused by REU electric facilities. REU will take corrective action for deficiencies when the staff discover or is notified of improperly install or maintained fire protection measures. In addition to those general principles, several new operational practices will help reduce the risk of wildfire and improve the response time in the event of a fire including:
• During high wildfire threat periods (red flag warnings) perform work as described in SOP35. All personnel in contact with RFD and RPD reporting anything hazardous. REU Emergency Operations Program (EOP) on Level 1 status;
• REU performs bi-annual system drills for the REU EOP in conjunction with summer and winter preparation meetings. Summer drills performed no later than May 31 of each year; winter drills performed no later than November 30 of each year. If an actual alert level is experienced due to Red Flag warning or other activity, the drill may not be necessary; • Collect and maintain wildfire data necessary for the implementation and evaluation of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

E. STRATEGY - SYSTEM HARDENING
REU’s electric facilities are designed, constructed, and maintained to meet or exceed the relevant federal, state, or industry standard. REU treats CPUC General Order (GO) 95 as a key industry standard for design and construction standards for overhead electrical facilities. REU meets or exceeds all standards in GO 95. Additionally, REU monitors and follows as appropriate the National Electric Safety Code. In addition to standards, REU will consider some or all of the following as described in the 10-year Capital Improvement Program:
• Addition of remote-controlled field reclosers with arc detection technology; • Poles with operating devices are cleared of all vegetation around them with a minimum radius of 10’. Perform this for every applicable wood pole in the system for resiliency; • Provide additional access roads along power line easements and maintain to appropriate standards;
• As 115KV transmission poles reach end of useful life for Tier 3 and Tier 2 areas, replace with steel poles in kind. Have a stockpile of modular steel poles to replace poles in the event of emergency replacement such as car/pole or localized fire; • Install steel poles (or convert to underground) feeding Pump Station #1 on the river trail and add a sectionalizer or manual switch for less critical loads beyond; • Provide a secondary water source to Power Plant under the condition that primary water source is lost;
• Increase stock of air filters for power plant before each summer; Packet Pg. 344 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2023 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 6.0
May 1, 2023 23
• Engineering – Revise construction standards to implement arc suppression components, raptor framing, squirrel guards, tree wire, lightening arresters, and arc suppression fusing.

Create design standards for new equipment for remote controlled reclosers and implement into the SCADA system;
• Convert overhead lines to underground as feasible and economical; • Alternative Technologies- REU will consider the feasibility of implementing alternative technologies, such as wire-break sensing and arc detection technology, as they become available and cost-effective.

For a comprehensive list of system hardening projects conducted by REU in 2022 see Appendix G-2022 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Monitoring and Auditing Report.

F. STRATEGY - PUBLIC SAFETY AND NOTIFICATION
The following is part of this Plan to communicate with the community during high fire threat periods and disasters.
• Coordinate with RFD and RPD through REU’s 24/7 Power Control Center (PCC); • Coordinate with RFD and RPD through the REU EOP during emergencies or large-scale outages;
• Coordinate with RFD and RPD in conjunction with the joint dispatch agency, Shasta Area Communication Agency (SHASCOM) for notification to areas that require power shutoffs as directed by public safety during emergencies;
• Developed communications protocol with Shasta County Health and Human Services for notifications to vulnerable groups;
• REU utilizes social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram along with the COR Communications Team to proactively communicate with the customers in the City of Redding during Red Flag Warnings, fires and other utility related emergencies; • A publicly facing map provides information for the public to view current outages and estimated restoration times;
• Use public service messages on local radio and television media related to wildfire safety.

G. STRATEGY - RECLOSING AND DEENERGIZATION
As part of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan, REU disables automatic reclosing on circuits that traverse tier 2 or 3 areas during periods in which the National Weather Service issues a Red Flag Warning or at REU Management discretion for safety purposes. This procedure is documented in SOP-35 (Appendix F). REU will continue to shut off power when directed to by Redding Fire, Police, Cal Fire, or other emergency responding agencies. REU will not preemptively shut off power during high fire threat periods for the following reasons:
• Our service territory is only 60 square miles and relatively compact and visible with proper technology;
Packet Pg. 345 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2023 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 6.0
May 1, 2023 24
• Approximately fifty percent (50%) of the City’s eight hundred (800) miles of distribution lines are located below ground;
• The City has eight (8) Redding Fire Stations positioned strategically throughout the City and with the additional fifteen (15) Firefighters hired through the Wildfire Mitigation Plan, the response time by fire personnel, should a fire occur, will be reduced significantly; • All identified law enforcement, fire and hospital facilities are within the Tier 1 boundaries • Five (5) of the REU substations are located within the Tier 2/3 boundaries. • CalFire Northern Operations Division and CalFire Shasta Trinity Unit headquarters are located within the City of Redding limits along with CalFire’s Air Attack Unit and multiple CalFire Substations are located in and around the City limits ensuring timely mutual aid response;
• The City hired fifteen (15) Firefighters, eight (8) Public Works Maintenance employees and is proactively mitigating Tier 2 and Tier 3 fire zone areas by removing brush and trees near Redding Electric equipment and lines;
• Turning off the power could put the community at higher risk to wildfire as it could impact water pumping and also create abnormal human activity that could increase opportunity for fire. During October 2019 such a fire was started just outside the city limits due to a Pacific Gas and Electric PSPS;
• REU is investing in our Wildfire Mitigation and Improved Response Program as one way to mitigate power shut offs;
• REU plans to have real-time information from staff located in areas identified as at risk of being subject to extreme weather conditions;
• REU makes use of social media and the REU website to communicate relevant and timely notifications as well as a public outage portal map.
• REU plans to use system hardening, situational awareness, vegetation management and the other strategies to avoid shutting off power.

H. STRATEGY - WILDFIRE RESPONSE AND RECOVERY
• During a high fire threat event (specifically Red Flag Warning periods issued by the National Weather Service), RFD will attempt to up staff and stage fire protection equipment in a ready status and the REU EOP will go to a Level 1 (SOP-35); • First Responders shall provide access to the Redding Power Plant staff for necessary shift changes during fire events;
• Wildfire Response: Execute the REU Emergency Operations Program (SOP-200); • Recovery/re-energization will follow priorities set by SOP-28, System Restoration. • REU is a member of the California Utility Emergency Association, which plays a key role in ensuring communications between utilities during emergencies including mutual aid.

REU also participates in the Western Energy Institute’s Western Region Mutual Assistance Agreement, which is a mutual assistance agreement covering utilities across a number of western states.

I. PROGRAM – REU WILDFIRE PREVENTION AND IMPROVED

RESPONSE
Packet Pg. 346 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2023 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 6.0
May 1, 2023 25
On May 7, 2019, the Council approved the REU Wildfire Prevention and Improved Response Program (Appendix B). The Program provides funding to the Redding Fire Department and the Community Services Department for services rendered to prevent the start of wildfires through fire fuels reduction as well as provide faster response in the event of a wildfire either caused by or threatening the electric utility assets located in and around the City of Redding. The Redding Fire Department provides coordination between REU and other local fire agencies as well as oversight of the Program.

Specifically, this program provides fifteen Firefighters to increase staffing for two engines from two-person to three-person crews. This will improve initial fire response. Finally, seven Public Works vegetation crew workers perform fire fuels mitigation. In total twenty-two personnel continue to augment REU’s existing nine arborists.

J. PROGRAM – REU TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS
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 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 in Appendix E.

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 personal 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. The Program also funds the IQ FireWatch system and Department Operations Center where all of the technology will integrate creating enhanced situational awareness during high fire threat days, system outages, and emergencies.

K. PROGRAM – REU DISTRIBUTION 10-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT The objective of the 10-Year Capital Improvement Program (Appendix D) is to enhance the distribution system to replace specific components used on the electrical distribution system to Packet Pg. 347 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2023 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 6.0
May 1, 2023 26
reduce the probability that the system itself will initiate a fire as well as harden the electrical distribution system to better survive a fire initiated by other sources. The program specifics are being designed and will be completed by mid-2021.

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.

L. PROGRAM – REU EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
The Redding Electric Utility Emergency Operations Program (REU-EOP) (Appendix C) is an allhazards EOP that used a system operating procedure format to ensure compatibility with current practices as well as a utility wide application. The REU-EOP was designed using the same format as the City of Redding Emergency Operations Plan (City EOP) and includes the use of the Incident Command System (ICS). The main REU-EOP elements include Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 200, an Incident Communication Guide, and the Emergency Operations Contact Information.

Upon review of the City’s EOP (adopted in 2014), the utility is responsible for several restoration and incident management objectives during an emergency. The REU-EOP recognizes this responsibility and connects the existing City-wide emergency operations responsibilities to the responsibilities dictated by the REU-EOP in order to support an efficient and effective emergency response to any hazard.

REU maintains multiple electric system operating procedures designed to mitigate, communicate, and restore abnormal system conditions to normal status. As evident from the 2018 Carr Fire and the February 2019 snow storm event, the utility could greatly benefit from the implementation of a utility-wide EOP that utilizes the Incident Command System (ICS) structure along with the established electric system operating procedures. Fortunately, REU is organizationally structured to easily fit into the ICS unit system with appropriate roles and responsibilities between incident command (Executive Team) and section chiefs (Leadership Team). Therefore, the implementation of SOP-200 fits well within the roles and responsibilities segmented appropriately.

As required, the REU-EOP establishes a Department Operations Center (DOC) at the REU Headquarters Building at Avtech Parkway during emergency conditions. This DOC will work in collaboration with the PCC (Redding Power Plant) where both facilities will have video conferencing capability to ensure ease of communication during events. Having the DOC remote from the PCC will allow it to be used as an EOC for the City.

The Incident Communication Guide was drafted to support the REU Public Information Officer (PIO) and staff with both internal and external communications during an emergency.

Packet Pg. 348 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2023 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 6.0
May 1, 2023 27
As required in the City’s EOP, an Emergency Operations Contact Information document has been created with a listing of key REU emergency response personnel, a conference bridge, and emergency contact email and phone information.

The REU-EOP has been transferred to Utility Operations as of August 31, 2019 for ongoing administration, training, and upkeep.

6. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION
REU will maintain a proactive outreach and education strategy to create public awareness of fire threats, fire prevention, and available support during a wildfire or large power outages. Prior to an emergency, communication will include regular messages related to wildfire prevention, such as right-of-way management, tree trimming, line inspection, or other relevant topics. Methods of communication will include newsletters, website updates (including City Hub), social media posts, and public service announcements.

During an emergency, the REU Emergency Operations Program, includes an REU Incident Communication Guide that will be utilized to manage both internal and external communication throughout the incident from that initial notification to termination of the incident. Use of these established notification and communication plans will allow REU to coordinate with applicable emergency service personnel (Redding Fire Dept., Cal Fire, Cal OES, Redding Police Dept., etc.) along with maintaining open lines of communication with customers, media and internal City staff.

Communications will be coordinated as appropriate with the City Communications Team.

7. RESTORATION OF SERVICE
In the event of a wildfire or other emergency event, REU will staff up its DOC to coordinate activities to restore service. REU will restore power, following an event, in cooperation with City of Redding Fire, Police, and Public Works Departments and in coordination with Cal Fire, Shasta County, or another named Incident Commander.

REU management will oversee restoration and response activities. In the event that additional staff is needed, REU may leverage mutual aid agencies, other City of Redding staff, and local aid organizations. The utility may also engage contractors on an as-needed basis.

The following describes the steps typically taken to begin the restoration process:

Declaration of Emergency. The City of Redding may declare an emergency depending on the scope of the disaster.

Assessment. REU crews must patrol each line segment to determine the extent of damage that has occurred. The patrol involves assessing equipment access issues, any cleanup/debris removal issues and determining personal protective equipment requirements for the crews. REU works with Packet Pg. 349 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2023 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 6.0
May 1, 2023 28
the local agency in charge of the fire to access impacted areas as soon as the area is deemed safe by fire officials.

Planning. After initial assessment, REU supervisors, managers and engineers meet to plan the needed work. The team will work with system operations to prioritize the restoration efforts, targeting the circuits that serve the most critical infrastructure needs.

Mobilize. Based on the size and complexity of the rebuild/restoration efforts, REU will coordinate the crews and material needs internally if possible. Mutual aid and contractors may be used on an “as needed” basis to provide additional support. REU maintains a critical material vendor list and has contracts it can draw on for labor and material needs. In an instance of widespread catastrophic damage, necessary materials and labor could experience shortages that may delay work.

Rebuild. The rebuild effort lead by REU will commence as soon as areas become safe and accessible. The initial efforts will be to get the lines up and restore the damaged circuits. Depending on the extent of damage, demolition may be performed concurrently or after crews start installing new facilities. REU will incorporate new materials and technologies as indicated and available.

Restore. REU, mutual aid, or contract crews will restore electric services to homes and businesses as soon as possible after the wildfire. Depending on the extent of damages, residential and business customers may have to perform repairs on their facilities and pass inspections by local agencies prior to having full electric service restored.

In most cases, the following restoration priorities will be followed depending on the specific incident and available resources:
• Public safety in the affected areas;
• Worker safety in performing the restoration work;
• Life-support or critical customers;
• Critical infrastructure (Key City and County facilities and accounts; Sheriff’s Department and jail, City Police and Fire Departments, other key utility facilities (e.g., water, sewage, gas, citywide communications), Incident Command Site or Base Camp, Incident Evacuation Centers, local broadcast and radio Stations, etc.); • Major commercial activities/accounts critical to continuity of community services (e.g., gas stations, food stores, home supply stores, repair shops, eateries and lodging facilities, financial institutions, etc);
• To reduce the total number of customers affected;
• To reduce the length of time customers have been without power.

In directing restoration efforts to best achieve the above priorities, REU Operations Group personnel will generally find it most efficient to dedicate restoration resources to the following types of facilities in the following order of priority to optimally restore electric services:
• Redding Power Plant facilities (RPP);
Packet Pg. 350 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2023 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 6.0
May 1, 2023 29
• Other energy supply resources (to ensure power can be delivered/received via Western Area Power Administration, the COTP, from within BANC, the CAISO, etc.); • Transmission circuits (115 kV) subject to NERC requirements; • Substations;
• Distribution circuits (12 kV);
• Distribution feeders;
• Distribution transformers;
• Service lines.

8. EVALUATION OF THE PLAN
A. METRICS FOR MEASURING PLAN PERFORMANCE
REU tracks two metrics to measure the performance of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan: (1) number of fire ignitions caused by REU facilities or operations; and (2) wires down within the service territory.

Metric 1: Fire Ignitions
For purposes of this metric, a fire ignition is defined as follows:
• REU facility was associated with the fire;
• The fire was self-propagating and of a material other than electrical and/or communication facilities;
• The resulting fire traveled greater than one linear meter from the ignition point; and • REU has knowledge that the fire occurred.

For information related to the number of fires caused by REU facilities see Appendix G-WFMP Annual Monitoring and Auditing Report.

Metric 2: Wires Down
The second metric is the number of distribution and transmission wires downed within REU’s service territory. For purposes of this metric, a wires down event includes any instance where an electric transmission or primary distribution conductor falls to the ground or onto a foreign object.

REU divides the wires down metric between wires down inside and outside of the High Fire Threat District. REU does not normalize this metric by excluding unusual events, such as severe storms.

Instead, REU supplements this metric with a qualitative description of any such unusual events (including car vs. pole incidents).

B. IMPACT OF METRICS ON PLAN
Appendix G – Wildfire Monitoring and Auditing Report provides the impact on the metrics of the plan. REU will continue to identify areas of its operations and service territory that are disproportionately impacted and evaluate potential improvements to the plan. REU staff has Packet Pg. 351 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2023 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 6.0
May 1, 2023 30
collected data for the past two years and continues to update the WFMP annually. Notable changes include the implementation of a workforce management program, contracting with vendors for vegetation and equipment inspection, and upgrades to the internal inspection process improving the overall auditing and reporting of utility caused fires. REU has improved the collection process along with monitoring and reporting of events.

C. MONITORING AND AUDITING THE PLAN
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. REU will present this plan to the Redding City Council on an annual basis at a regularly scheduled City of Redding Council Meeting on the Regular Calendar allowing public comment on the elements of the plan.

D. IDENTIFYING AND CORRECTING DEFICIENCIES IN THE PLAN
REU staff and qualified external stakeholders are encouraged to identify Wildfire Mitigation Plan deficiencies or potential deficiencies to the Assistant Director of Utility Operations as soon as possible when observed. The Assistant Director of Utility Operations shall evaluate each reported deficiency and, if the deficiency is determined to be a valid plan deficiency, it shall be entered into a log with the following information:
• Date the deficiency was discovered;
• Description of the deficiency;
• Source identifying the deficiency (e.g., Internal Audit); • Priority based on deficiency severity;
• Assigned corrective action including the date when it must be completed by; • Assigned staff responsible for completing the corrective action; • Date corrective action completed.

The Assistant Director of Utility Operations will go over the log at regularly scheduled Leadership and Supervisor Meetings.

E. MONITORING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INSPECTIONS
REU will perform inspections on either a 5-year, 10 year, or annual cycle, based on GO 95 or fire mitigation recommendations. Any areas found that need Improvement or appear hazardous will be documented with a work order, given a priority, and the work order will be tracked. When completed the work order will have a close date.

The Assistant Director of Utility Operations will assign qualified internal staff or engage a third party to review and audit the equipment and line inspection programs called out in the Wildfire Mitigation Plan after the completion of the first six months of the plan. The assigned auditor will:
• Review records for the inspection programs;
Packet Pg. 352 Attachment: REU 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan with Appendices (9.5(b)--Redding Electric Utility's 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2023 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 6.0
May 1, 2023 31
• Interview staff performing inspections to assess their knowledge of the inspection programs;
• Monitor staff performing inspection activities;
• Review deficiencies noted in the programs;
• Identify systemic issues or problems;
• Note the timeliness of corrective actions;
• Pick a random sample of some completed corrective actions and verify the effectiveness of the corrective actions; and
• Issue a written report of findings.

The Assistant Director of Utility Operations will review the audit findings and assign corrective action as applicable. A copy of the audit report will be routed to the Director.
