CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving City Council Policy No. 222 – Electronic Signature Policy to permit the use of electronic signatures, in lieu of manual or “wet” signatures in designated City of Redding-related business transactions and contracts.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact related to approving an Electronic Signature City Council (Council) Policy. A vendor shall be selected upon Council approval of the Policy. The first-year cost associated with an Electronic Signature Policy related to City of Redding (City)-designated contracts is estimated between $6,000 and $8,000, which would include online support and assistance. Since Fiscal Year 2020-21, the City has processed an average of 459 contracts and 298 amendments annually for a total of 757. If approved, the City of Redding’s (City) Information Technology Department will review annual usage and allocate the costs to each of the City Departments.

Alternative Action
The Council could choose not to adopt the attached resolution approving the Electronic Signature Policy and provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
The City recognizes that advances in technology can assist in increasing its efficiency, reduction of waste, and ability to provide greater access to public services. Technology advancements have also increased electronic document procedures and management security. This Council Policy will establish the requirements for using electronic signatures in lieu of manual or "wet" signatures and guidelines for acceptable technologies, procedures, and documents for using electronic signatures in City-related business.

BACKGROUND
The City of Redding recognizes that advances in technology can assist the City in increasing its efficiency, reduction of waste, and ability to provide greater access to public services.

This Policy shall be used to increase productivity and ensure convenient and timely access to City information by using electronic signature technology to collect and preserve documents quickly, securely, and efficiently. Affixing an electronic signature to a document in a manner consistent with this Policy shall satisfy the City's requirement for signing a document. Although the use of electronic signatures is encouraged when permitted, this Policy does not mandate the use of electronic signatures, nor should the City require that any third party signing a document use electronic signatures.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this Electronic Signature Policy ("Policy") is intended to broadly permit the use of electronic signatures, in lieu of manual or “wet” signatures, in City-related business, since:
• The use of electronic signature technology will allow the City to collect and preserve signatures on documents quickly, securely, and efficiently. • The City has a vital interest in reducing paper waste, increasing the efficient use of public resources, and ensuring the security and authenticity of electronic records, including electronic signatures.
• The City seeks to mitigate the risks associated with conducting transactions, transmitting information, and maintaining public records that use electronic signatures.

Legal Authority
Under California Law (Civ. Code section 1633.1 et seq.), electronic signatures have the same legal effect as wet or manual signatures. A digital signature is a form of electronic signature.

Government Code Section 16.5 specifically permits cities to use digital signatures. Government Code section 16.5 also provides that, for a digital signature to have the same force and effect as a wet or manual signature, it must be established that the digital signature is:

1. Unique to the person using it.

2. Capable of verification.

3. Under the sole control of the person usingit.

4. Linked to data in such a manner that if the data is changed, the digital signature is invalidated.

5. Conforms to regulations adopted by the Secretary ofState.

POLICY
This Policy applies to documents requiring a signature of any person where the signature is intended to show authorship, approval, authorization, or certification, as permitted by law.

This Policy shall apply to all employees of the City and governs all uses of electronic signatures used to conduct the City’s official business. Such business may include, but not be limited to, electronic communications, transactions, contracts, permits, and other official purposes, internal and external to the City. All use of digital signatures by the City shall be in accordance with this Policy, and may be amended from time to time by the City Manager.

Any use of electronic signatures, including digital signatures, by the City that is not in accordance with this Policy, or any unauthorized signing of any record or document, shall render such form or document invalid as not fully and properly executed by the City.

It is the policy of the City to encourage, but not require, the use of digital signatures only in all internal and external activities, documents, and transactions where it is permitted by law, and where existing technology permits.

Only digital signatures meeting the requirement of Government Code Section 16.5 and 2 California Code of Regulations Section 22000 et seq. are permitted. This means that the digital signature must be unique to the person authorizing it and must require the use of an individual username and password in order to execute. No other form of electronic signature may be accepted. To that end, the following forms of electronic signature are specifically prohibited:
• No permit, agreement, or contract may be made by exchange of email, text, or other electronic means of communication.
• Copies of manual signatures are not acceptable.
• Proxy signatures shall not be accepted. This means that no City employee will share a username or password signature with another person, nor shall a City employee accept a digital signature which he/she knows, or has reason to believe, was not personally executed by the counter-party.

No party that does business with the City shall be required to use a digital signature.

Where a transaction requires the signature of both parties to the transaction, the use of a digital signature must be agreed upon by both parties to the transaction. If the parties have agreed to conduct a transaction by digital signature, the parties are required to utilize all applicable security processes for authentication.

When all parties electronically sign a document, the City will provide a copy of the electronically signed document to the other parties in an electronic format that is capable of being retained and printed by the other parties.

The Chief Information Officer shall be responsible for determining acceptable technologies and digital signature certification providers consistent with current legal requirements and industry best practices to ensure the security and integrity of the data and the digital signature. The Chief Information Officer shall not accept any technology which is not compliant with the requirements set forth in Civil Code Section 16.5 and 2 California Code of Regulations 22000 et seq. The final approval of any electronic signature technologies and vendors will be by the Chief Information Officer, after consulting with the City Attorney.

In determining whether to approve electronic signature technologies offered by vendors, consideration will be given to the systems and procedures associated with using that electronic signature, industry best practices, and whether using the electronic signature is at least as reliable as the existing method to ensure the security and integrity of the data and the signature. The Chief Information Officer shall conduct periodic reviews for the appropriateness and continued applicability of electronic signature technologies and vendors.

If it is determined that an approved electronic signature technology or vendor is, in the discretion of the Chief Information Officer, no longer trustworthy, the Chief Information Officer may revoke the approval of the electronic signature method. In such a case, the City Clerk shall consult with the City Attorney and, where deemed necessary, take steps to see that any records signed with the revoked electronic signature method are signed again either with a written signature or with an approved electronic signature method.

Manual, or “wet” signatures are required for the following transactions:
• Documents or transactions that require notarization or are to be recorded with the County Recorder
• Documents required for real property transactions
• Documents that affect title to real property
• Bonds (unless express authority is granted by the City Attorney’s Office) • Promissory notes
• Documents or transactions that are not signed using approved electronic/digital signatures technologies and/or vendors

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the following for the City of Redding Airports Division:
(1) Adopt Resolution approving the 16th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2023- 060 appropriating revenues in the amount of $199,660 for purchase of a boarding ramp and an air service development contract from proceeds of the land sale located at 6550 Lockheed Drive, Redding, CA 96002; and
(2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to appropriate the remaining $64,168.50 from the land sale and to execute any agreements necessary to implement projects funded through these appropriations.

Fiscal Impact
Approval of this item will provide $199,660.00 for air service development efforts and delegate authority to appropriate the remaining $64,168.50 from the land sale for airport operational and compliance needs.

Alternative Action
City Council may decline to appropriate land sale revenues and provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
The City of Redding (City) Airports Division sold property at 6550 Lockheed Drive for $263,828.50 generating unbudgeted revenue for the Airports Division. Proceeds from the sale will enable the Airports Division to proceed with efforts in air service development which is expected to increase the competitivity of the Redding Regional Airport (RDD) in attracting new air service. History has shown that when air service thrives, additional revenue in the form of car rental and car parking concessions, correspondingly increase. These additional funds will allow the Airports Division to carry out various operational and air service development strategies.

Re: 4.2(a)--Budget Amendment - Airport Page 2
The Airports Division seeks to utilize funds from the land sale proceeds as follows:
• $94,660 – The Airports Division has been utilizing Mead & Hunt as the air service development/marketing consultant. These proceeds would be used to continue these consulting services;
• $105,000 – The Airports Division is requesting funding to purchase a boarding ramp that would support air service development. Procuring right-sized and ready-for-use ground equipment is an important tool to market RDD to various air carriers interested in operating out of RDD. This equipment would accommodate new types of jet aircraft making the City a more competitive market for air service; and • $64,000 – These funds would be used to support a variety of compliance, operational, security, and safety needs at RDD and Benton Field.

Environmental Review
This activity is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act or the National Environmental Policy Act. No further action is required.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Budget and Financial Management – “Achieve balanced and stable 10-year Financial Plans for all funds.”

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the following actions related to the Community Development Block Grant Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program to assist with the South City Park Redevelopment Project:
(1) Adopt Resolution accepting a Section 108 Program Loan, pledging the City of Redding’s general fund ($240,000) as security, and authorizing the City Manager to execute a United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 108 Contract, Note, and related documents containing that pledge;
(2) Adopt Resolution approving the 19th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2023- 060 appropriating $2,698,000 for the revised Section 108 Program funding of the South City Park Project and establishing a Section 108 payment guarantee for Fiscal year 2023- 24;
(3) Find that applying for and accepting grant funding is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act; and
(4) Find that applying for and accepting grant funding is exempt under the National Environmental Policy Act under Title 24 CFR 58.34(a)(3).

Fiscal Impact
The proposed amount of funds to be borrowed from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program (Section 108) is $2,458,000 for the South City Park Project (Project). It is proposed that the funds will be drawn down in five installments. Each installment is charged a two percent processing fee plus $70. The amount of interest charged on the overall balance of the funds is based on the Three-month Treasury Bill Rate plus 35 basis points or presently, about 5.675 percent. Repayment is based on a 20-year loan term. Each year, interest only payments will be paid quarterly with a principal payment due in August of each year. Based on the most recent calculation by the Finance Department, the highest annual payment, taking into consideration both interest and principal is approximately $240,000.

Report to Redding City Council November 2, 2023
Re: 4.2(c)--Adopt Resolutions for CDBG Section 108 Guaranteed Loan Page 2 The City of Redding (City) is also required to provide collateral for the loan. It is requested that the City set-aside General Fund dollars as security for the loan. This “Pledge” must be placed into the City’s budget year-after-year, for the 20-year loan term, as a line item. The risk to the City’s General Fund is low as the City has been an entitlement jurisdiction, receiving annual CDBG funding allocations, for more than 40 years.

Each year the CDBG Section 108 payment will be included in the Annual Action Plan as a project. Payment of the Section 108 Loan will decrease the amount of CDBG funds available to other infrastructure projects by the amount of the annual payment.

The Section 108 draws will be done on a reimbursement basis. The initial draw should be received within 45 days of request and subsequent draws should be received in seven days.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to accept the terms of the CDBG Section 108. Not accepting the proposed terms will jeopardize the ability of the City to complete the South City Park Renovation Project’s current scope. Either the scope of the Project would need to be substantially reduced, or the Project may not proceed altogether, depending on other grant funding earmarked for the Project.

Background/Analysis
In September 2019, as part of the Block 7 North Block Development Agreement approval, staff was authorized to apply for a Section 108 loan in the amount of $3,500,000. In August 2022, the Council approved the Section 108 financing terms and conditions and adopted Resolution No. 2022-085, authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents or contracts to obtain the loan. However, in November 2022, the CDBG Section 108 loan funds via Resolution No. 2022-115 were re-appropriated to the Project.

In September 2023, the City’s Housing Division submitted a revised Section 108 application in the amount of $2,458,000 to fund the Project. As part of the Section 108 loan process, a resolution must be considered by Council. If the Section 108 Loan and noted terms are approved by Council, staff will send the Resolution and related documents to HUD. HUD will review the documents and confirm the funding commitment and interest rate calculations. Once approved, HUD will forward the Section 108 Loan agreement and associated documents back to the City for City Manager signature.

Environmental Review
Applying for and accepting funding is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), administrative and management activities such as applying for and accepting funding are considered exempt activities.

Site specific environmental studies are in progress for South City Park Redevelopment Project, and CEQA/NEPA determinations will be made prior to executing any construction contracts.

c. Authorize the City Manager to execute any documents necessary to complete the Section 108 Program loan process and appropriate funds upon approval of the loan.

Fiscal Impact
In March 2022, the City of Redding (City) and The McConnell Foundation were awarded $3,889,480 from the Caltrans CCLG Program. These funds, combined with the City’s Park and Recreation Facilities Impact Fee reimbursements, will finance the design and development of the Plaza Project. To facilitate the CCLG Program funds, Housing Division staff would utilize General Fund cash for a 45- to 60-day period, as Caltrans processes the CCLG Program reimbursement to the City. As proposed, the City Manager and the Finance Director would set forth the borrowing limits, not to exceed $1,000,000, and the associated terms and conditions.

Future maintenance of the Plaza Project is anticipated to be funded through the potential downtown property-based improvement district or a landscape maintenance district as provided within the Park and Recreation Facilities Impact Fee Reimbursement Agreement. The final maintenance funding mechanism will be brought to the City Council at a future meeting.

Redding Electric Utility’s (REU) Replacing and Upgrading Underground Conductors and Devices (RUUCD) funding is derived from REU’s capital improvement budget and is earmarked for the development of infrastructure within the City and is anticipated to assist Block 7 infrastructure costs in the amount of $575,000. Allocation of these funds to the Block 7 Development will not impact the General Fund.

The Section 108 Program Loan payment is estimated to be $186,850 per year for a 20-year term.

Each year, the payment will be considered a project and included in the CDBG Annual Action Plan. Payment of the Section 108 Loan will decrease the amount of CDBG funds available to other public infrastructure projects. As proposed for collateral, the City would pledge General Fund revenues as security for the loan; however, this risk is low, as the City has been an entitlement jurisdiction receiving annual CDBG funding allocations for more than 40 years; in this period of time, federal administrations have threatened to discontinue the CDBG program, but it has never come to fruition.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could reject or seek modifications to the Second Amendment language; choose not to accept the Caltrans CCLG Program funds; not amend the City’s budget for the appropriation of CCLG or REU funds to the Project; nor approve the Section 108 Program Loan. Any of these actions could put the Block 7 North Block or Plaza Project in jeopardy of completion.

Background/Analysis
In September 2019, the Council approved the North Block Parking Project that included authorization for the City Manager to negotiate a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with the Shasta-Tehama-Trinity Joint Community College District (District) and the City for the transfer of a portion of property located at 1400 Market Street. Subsequently, in June 2022, Council approved a Park Dedication and Easement Agreement that deeds the property to the City Packet Pg. 204 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - August 2, 2022 item no. 9.2(c)--Consider Agreements and adopt four Resolutions for the Block 7 North Report to Redding City Council July 27, 2022
Re: 9.2(c)--Approve Agreements & Authorize Resolutions for North Block Development Page 3 for purposes of developing a public park. The property transaction is currently in escrow and will be completed by mid-August 2022. The Plaza Project site is detailed in Exhibit B of the Second Amendment to the North Block Development Agreement (North Block DA).

To facilitate the development of the Plaza Project, staff is seeking approval of the Second Amendment to the North Block DA, the Park and Recreation Facilities Impact Fee Reimbursement Agreement and accepting the award of CCLG Program funds which are detailed further in Sections I and II below.

I. North Block DA Amendment
Pursuant to the Second Amendment to the North Block DA, the scope of work is modified to include the construction of the Plaza Project that will be developed by the Block 7 Retail Investors, LLC. The expanded scope includes architectural design services, permits, improvements and development administration for the Plaza Project. In exchange for the expanded scope of work, the Block 7 Retail Investors, LLC, after showing proof of payment for eligible park development related expenses, will receive credit for its associated Block 7 park impact fee obligations as further defined in the Park and Recreation Facilities Impact Fee Reimbursement Agreement.

The estimated total cost of the Plaza Project is $4,725,935. The Plaza Project improvements will be funded by the CCLG Program funds and Park and Recreation Facilities impact fees. In March 2022, the City and The McConnell Foundation were awarded $3,889,480 from the CCLG Program. The CCLG Program is a competitive program created to beautify and clean up local streets and roads, tribal lands, parks, pathways, transit centers, and other public spaces. In order to utilize the CCLG Program funds, the Council must formally accept the CCLG Program grant, and approve a resolution amending the City’s budget to accommodate the additional Plaza Project funds. The grant agreement and approving resolution are attached.

II. Park and Recreation Facilities Impact Fee Reimbursement Agreement The Park and Recreation Facilities Impact Fee Reimbursement Agreement provides up to seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars ($780,000) in reimbursement for eligible park development expenses, the estimated amount of park fees paid by the Block 7 and Market Center projects.

The agreement requires City approvals for final design, award of the construction contract and construction inspection. The Community Services Advisory Commission has reviewed the proposal and supports the project and the funding agreement.

III. Block 7 Project Infrastructure

REU RUUCD
The North Block DA provided the typical scope of work for the development, construction, and management of the parking project and the Commercial, Retail, and Market-Rate Housing Project. With similar types of projects, Redding Electric Utility (REU) will have a developer perform work that REU would traditionally complete in order to maintain continuity of the infrastructure. REU will then reimburse these costs to the developer, including REU’s proportional share of overhead costs. After assessing the value of these costs, REU’s portion of development for the Block 7 North Block, Mid-Block and South Block, amount to a calculated reimbursement due to the developer of $575,000. In support of this process, a budget resolution Packet Pg. 205 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - August 2, 2022 item no. 9.2(c)--Consider Agreements and adopt four Resolutions for the Block 7 North Report to Redding City Council July 27, 2022
Re: 9.2(c)--Approve Agreements & Authorize Resolutions for North Block Development Page 4 must be executed to infuse the REU RUUCD funds into the City’s budget to reimburse the developer for its REU-related expenditures for the Block 7 infrastructure projects.

Section 108
In September 2019, as part of the North Block DA approval, staff was authorized to apply for a Section 108 Program Loan in the amount of $3,500,000. The Section 108 Program provides CDBG recipients with the ability to leverage their annual grant allocation to access low-cost flexible financing for economic development, housing, public facility, and infrastructure projects. The Section 108 Program Loan funds are borrowed by the City and repaid by the City through pledging current or future CDBG allocations over a 20-year term.

In early 2022, the Section 108 Loan Application was submitted to HUD and underwent an initial underwriting review. As proposed in the Section 108 Loan Application, $2,800,000 would be utilized to fund Block 7 infrastructure costs associated with California Street, California Alleyway, and both Butte and Yuba Streets. The remaining $700,000 would be allocated toward a Façade Program to assist Downtown businesses with façade improvements. The Façade Program policy will be brought back to Council for consideration following HUDs approval of the Section 108 Loan.

Through HUDs review process, it was determined that the utilization of future CDBG allocations to repay the loan was acceptable but HUD also recommended utilizing General Fund revenue as additional collateral for the loan. The pledging of these funds is not an obligation that would require any set aside into a separate account. HUD only wishes to be assured that there is sufficient revenue held by the City to cover CDBG Section 108 loan payments should the CDBG revenue stream cease to exist. The value of General Fund collateral would equal the value of loan payments for one year with a replenishment provision (or $186,850). HUD is the guarantor of the loan.

The total Section 108 Loan amount, including loan costs, is estimated to be $3,737,000 with an estimated annual principal payment $186,850 for a 20-year term. Interim borrowed funds will require quarterly interest payments. The interim interest rate is calculated based on the Treasury’s three-month auction rate plus 35 basis points or, presently, an estimated 2.91 percent.

Once the loan is converted to permanent financing, the rate would be based on the 10-year Treasury rate plus 55 basis points. Each time funds are drawn from the line of credit, there is a two-percent fee plus a $70 charge per transaction.

As part of the Section 108 Loan application process, the Council must review and approve the amended application and the associated Resolution. If the Section 108 Loan is approved by Council, staff will send both the updated Section 108 Loan Application (July 2022 version) and Resolution to HUD. HUD will review the documents, send them to its loan committee to confirm the funding commitment and interest rate calculations. Once approved, HUD will forward the Section 108 Loan Agreement back to the City for City Manager signature.

Re: 4.6(c)--Approve Funding Changes for South City Park and Block 7 Projects Page 2 Alternative Action
The Council could decline to reallocate or switch funding sources for the Block 7 and South City Park projects. This action will limit opportunities for staff to obtain supplemental grant funding for South City Park.

Background/Analysis
South City Park, Redding’s oldest park, is nearly 100 years old and is uniquely poised to serve the community. It has, within its boundaries, a baseball field, bocce ball courts, tennis courts, a basketball court, walkways, and open grassy areas for picnicking, sitting, and other informal uses. In recent years, community utilization decreased in the park and South City Park needed revitalization to return to its original vibrancy.

On November 16, 2021, staff presented a proposal to the Council, recommended by the Community Services Advisory Commission (CSAC), to conduct a broad community engagement effort regarding the future of South City Park. Following the community engagement, on March 15, 2022, the Council opted to allocate Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recover Funds, also known as SLFRF and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), toward the revitalization efforts of South City Park. Staff retained the services of Project for Public Spaces (PPS), a multi-disciplinary firm that has facilitated many public placemaking community engagement efforts, published multiple studies and reports on the subject, and assisted communities in reactivating neglected public spaces.

At the June 16, 2022, meeting, the Council approved a concept to reimagine South City Park and authorized staff to refine the concept, develop a program, and estimate project costs with PPS.

Construction costs will exceed the $2.5 million ARPA allocation. Staff discovered, while investigating other grant funding opportunities to address the funding gap, that some available grant programs do not accept ARPA funds as a match funding source. CDBG funding, however, is an eligible source of match for most federal programs. By reallocating previously authorized CDBG Section 108 Program funds for South City Park, rather than ARPA funding, staff may seek out and apply for grant opportunities to fully fund the South City Park improvements.

The CDBG Section 108 Program provides communities with a source of financing for economic development, housing rehabilitation, and public facilities. The Section 108 Program loan funds are borrowed and subsequently repaid by the City through its current and future CDBG allocations over a 20-year term. The current loan application specified infrastructure improvements on the Block 7 project. Necessary Block 7 project improvements include water, wastewater, storm drains, and underground utility infrastructure to support income-eligible housing, all of which are approved uses for ARPA funding. Staff proposes to move the Block 7 improvements to the ARPA program and the South City Park improvements to the CDBG Section 108 Program. The change in allocations will unlock more funding opportunities for South City Park. Staff will return to the Council to obtain authority to apply for grants as needed.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required. Environmental studies are in progress for South City Park, and a CEQA/NEPA determination will be made prior to construction.

Program Summary
Introduction
The goal of the Advanced Cybersecurity Technology1 (ACT) 1 Prize Program is to improve the ability of eligible utilities to protect against, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity threats. The ACT 1 Prize Program is supported by the Rural and Municipal Utility Cybersecurity (RMUC) Program led by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response.

The ACT 1 Prize Program will award $7.25 million in cash prizes and up to $1.71 million in technical assistance (TA) for a total of to $8.96 million in prizes.

ACT 1 cash prizes will be available to eligible utilities to incentivize meaningful, impactful investments in cybersecurity technologies and support training to increase the knowledge, skills, and abilities of utility staff. Successful competitors to this prize competition will propose and complete work
implementing solutions that address cybersecurity risks. In partnership with qualified cybersecurity TA providers, ACT 1 prize winners will:
• Develop network architectures of their digital systems to identify and prioritize where interventions might be most effective
• Assess current cybersecurity technical stacks for gaps, duplication of functions, and opportunities to fully utilize existing capabilities
• Create cybersecurity plans and roadmaps to improve their cybersecurity posture • Identify solutions that can be operated and maintained by existing staff and budgets • Develop budgets, cost projections, and purchasing plans to minimize third-party risks when selecting solutions
• Implement solutions
• Develop and implement processes to ensure solutions are installed securely and perform as intended.

The ACT 1 Prize Program will prioritize utilities eligible to participate in the RMUC Program that have limited cybersecurity resources or serve military installations. Utilities are strongly encouraged to apply if they: (1) have limited economic and staff resources; (2) have limited access to cybersecurity training, TA, and support services; and (3) have a low cybersecurity maturity level. Utilities that serve military installations are also strongly encouraged to apply. The Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response intends to offer a series of ACT Prize competitions to further support additional utilities with limited cybersecurity resources and utilities serving military installations. 1 The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) §40124 (Public Law 117-58) defines the term “advanced cybersecurity technology” as any technology, operational capability, or service, including computer hardware, software, or a related asset, that enhances the security posture of electric utilities through improvements in the ability to protect against, detect, respond to, or recover from a cybersecurity threat (as defined in Section 102 of the Cybersecurity Act of 2015 (6 U.S.C. 1501)).

What is a prize competition? A prize
competition incentivizes competitors,
typically via cash awards, to achieve
objectives set by the sponsoring
agency. Funding is provided to
winners for work that has already
been performed. Once a prize is
awarded, winners determine how best
to use the funds, with no further
commitments.

Packet Pg. 217 Attachment: ACT-1-Official-Prize-Rules (4.3(a)--Advanced Cybersecurity Technology 1 Prize Program)

Page 6 of 45 ends

Utilities with mature cybersecurity programs are unlikely to win prizes under this competition unless they own or operate electric infrastructure that serves military installations. The Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response intends to issue a competitive funding opportunity announcement that will support eligible RMUC Program utilities with more mature cybersecurity programs and not-forprofit entities in partnership with eligible utilities.

The ACT 1 Prize Program has three consecutive phases:

Phase 1. Commitment: utilities describe their resources, need for improving their cybersecurity posture, and commitment to participating in the ACT 1 Prize Program.

Phase 2. Planning: utilities work with TA providers to: complete technical assessments of their systems; identify areas where training would improve staff skills and abilities; gain a better understanding of potential risks and solutions; identify solutions to address prioritized risks; and draft a roadmap for implementation.

Phase 3. Implementation: utilities make substantial progress toward completing their roadmap.

Winners in the first phase, the Commitment Phase, will receive a cash prize of $50,000 and up to either 60 or 120 hours of TA. Table 1 shows all three phases, the maximum number of prize winners, and the maximum cash and TA prizes for each phase. The ACT 1 Prize Program has two tracks, LIMITED CYBERSECURITY RESOURCES and MILITARY. The goals and cash prizes for the two tracks are the same.

The difference between the two tracks is utilities serving military installations in the MILTARY track are eligible to receive additional specialized TA.

Each phase has a separate application process and different deadlines. All instructions for the first phase, Commitment, are contained within the first 20 pages of this document and the Appendix. If you decide to compete for a Planning Prize (Phase 2) and an Implementation Prize (Phase 3), see Sections 2 (Planning Phase) and 3 (Implementation Phase) for application instructions and deadlines.

ACT 1 Prize Program Goals
The ACT 1 Prize Program offers a total prize pool of up to $7.25 million in cash and up to $1.71 million in TA across three phases—Commitment, Planning, and Implementation—where each phase concludes with a prize award.

Successful utilities in the ACT 1 Prize Program competition will identify cybersecurity risks, identify solutions that reduce or eliminate those risks, and implement selected solutions. Work completed by these utilities should accomplish one or more of the following goals:

A) Increase a utility’s ability to identify cybersecurity threats within their information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems
Packet Pg. 219 Attachment: ACT-1-Official-Prize-Rules (4.3(a)--Advanced Cybersecurity Technology 1 Prize Program)

Page 8 of 45 ends

B) Improve a utility’s ability to protect against cybersecurity threats C) Improve a utility’s ability to detect cybersecurity events and incidents soon after they occur D) Prepare a utility to respond to and mitigate damage from a cybersecurity incident rapidly and effectively
E) Recover from a cybersecurity incident and identify and implement process improvements.

Phase 1: Commitment. Competitors will describe their utility’s need for assistance, the communities they serve, and their commitment to improving their utility’s cybersecurity posture. The 50 limited cybersecurity resource utilities and 5 utilities serving military installations that most successfully describe and demonstrate their cybersecurity needs, capacity to work with TA providers, and leadership commitment to the Program will be selected to win a Commitment Prize. Only utilities that have won a Commitment Prize are eligible to enter the Planning Phase and compete for a Planning Prize.

Phase 2: Planning. Up to 25 utilities in the limited cybersecurity resources track and up to 5 utilities serving military installations will win Planning Prizes. During this phase, utilities will demonstrate that they have a better understanding of their systems and cybersecurity risks, prioritize where system hardening improvements could be made, identify potential solutions, identify relevant cybersecurity training options, and draft a roadmap for implementing technical and training solutions. Competitors will be expected to complete assessments, provide justifications for proposed solutions, and develop estimated budgets for implementation of their roadmaps. In addition, competitors will draft a Section 40126 Cybersecurity Plan.
2 Only winners of a Planning Prize will be eligible to compete in the Implementation Phase.

Phase 3: Implementation. Up to 25 utilities from the limited cybersecurity resources track and up to 5 from the military track will win Implementation Prizes. The goal of the Implementation Phase is for utilities to begin implementing the solutions proposed in the Planning Phase. Activities in the Implementation Phase might include but are not limited to: receiving training necessary to install, operate, and maintain the proposed cybersecurity solutions; developing and negotiating contracts; purchasing and installing hardware, software, firmware, and IT and/or OT equipment or components to support cybersecurity goals; purchasing and implementing licenses or subscriptions for a security solution; and developing processes to confirm the security of deployed solutions after implementation. Success in the Implementation Phase will be based on the progress each utility made in implementing their solutions.

Many utilities serving rural America are in areas of the country with limited economic opportunities and financial resources. The RMUC Program, as one of the Justice403 programs, is committed to ensuring that overburdened, underserved, and underrepresented communities have equitable access to federal 2 Section 40126 of the IIJA provides a framework for ensuring that DOE’s investments in energy sector research and infrastructure are secure and resilient from cybersecurity threats and requires all relevant IIJA provisions to have cybersecurity plans. DOE developed three cybersecurity plan templates—one for high-risk projects, one for medium-risk projects, and one for low-risk projects—to streamline the development and review of Section 40126 Cybersecurity Plans.
3 The Justice40 initiative, established by E.O. 14008, establishes the goal that 40% of the overall benefits of certain federal investments should flow to disadvantaged communities. Pursuant to E.O. 14008 and the Office of Management and Budget’s Interim Justice40 Implementation Guidance M-21-28 and M-23-09 (whitehouse.gov), DOE recognizes disadvantaged communities as defined and identified by the White House Council on Environmental Quality’s Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST), located at https://screeningtool.geoplatform.gov/.

4 How We Determine Winners
A Prize Administrator will screen all submission packages for eligibility and confirm that all required documents are included in the submission package. The Prize Administrator, in consultation with DOE, will assemble a reviewer panel composed of subject matter experts and assign reviewers to independently score the content of each submission package. The expert reviewers may be composed of federal and nonfederal subject matter experts with expertise in relevant areas. Expert reviewers will review each submission package and provide a score for every criterion statement and a total score for each submission package. A final score for each submission package will be calculated and provided to the ACT 1 Prize Judge. The Prize Judge will consider the final scores and other factors to make a final determination of winners.

The expert reviewers and Prize Judge may not: (a) have personal or financial interests in, or be an employee, officer, director, or agent of any entity that is a registered participant in the prize; or (b) have a familial or financial relationship with an individual who is a registered participant.

4.1 How the Final Score for a Submission Package is
Calculated
The scoring of submission packages will proceed as follows:
● Experts will review each submission package individually. ● At least three expert reviewers will score each submission package. ● Reviewers will assign a score between 1 and 6 to each statement listed for each phase criterion.

A score of 1 indicates that the reviewer strongly disagrees that the information provided in the competitor’s submission package supports the statement, and a score of 6 indicates that the reviewer strongly agrees that the statement is supported by the information provided in the submission package.
● The reviewer’s score for each criterion will be calculated by adding together the scores for each statement associated with that criterion.
● The reviewer’s total score for the submission package will be calculated by adding together the reviewer’s scores for each of the criterion.
● The final score for the submission package will be calculated by averaging the total scores from each reviewer that read the same submission package. For example, if there are three reviewers for the same submission package, the final score will be the average of the three reviewers’ total scores.
● The final score will be used to inform the Prize Judge’s decision on winners.

Point Scale Used by Reviewers
1 2 3 4 5 6
Strongly disagree Disagree Slightly disagree Slightly agree Agree Strongly agree

4.2 Program Policy Factors
While the scores of the expert reviewers will be carefully considered, it is the role of the Prize Judge to maximize the impact of prize funds. Some factors outside of the control of competitors and beyond the independent expert reviewers’ scope of review may need to be considered to accomplish this goal. The Packet Pg. 249 Attachment: ACT-1-Official-Prize-Rules (4.3(a)--Advanced Cybersecurity Technology 1 Prize Program)

Page 38 of 45 ends

following is a list of such factors. In addition to the reviewers’ scores, the program policy factors listed below may be considered by the Prize Judge in determining winners:
● Geographic diversity and potential economic impact of projects. ● Whether the use of additional DOE funds and provided resources is nonduplicative and compatible with the stated goals of the RMUC Program and the DOE mission generally. ● The degree to which the submission is likely to lead to increased employment and manufacturing in the United States or provide other economic benefits to U.S. taxpayers. ● The degree to which the submission supports complementary DOE-funded efforts or projects, which, when taken together, will best achieve the goals and objectives of DOE. ● The degree to which the submission expands DOE’s funding to new competitors and recipients who have not been supported by DOE in the past.
● The degree to which the submission enables new and expanding market segments. • Whether the project promotes increased coordination with nongovernmental entities toward enabling a just and equitable clean energy economy in their region and/or community. • The degree to which the submission enhances reliable access to electricity to disadvantaged or underserved communities.
• The degree to which the submission reduces the energy burden for customers/members in disadvantaged communities that are served by the utility. • The degree to which the utility operates Defense Critical Electric Infrastructure, defined as any electric infrastructure located in any of the 48 contiguous states or the District of Columbia that serves a facility designated by the Secretary of Energy, pursuant to section 215A(c) of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. § 824o-1(c)), but is not owned or operated by the owner or operator of such facility. See paragraph (4) of Section 215A(a) of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. § 824o-1(a)(4)). ● The presence of important community services, including healthcare facilities, communications facilities, water facilities, and critical care facilities. ● Presence of regionally important economic drivers.

4.3 Final Determination
DOE will designate a federal employee as the ACT 1 Prize Judge before the final determination of the winners. Final determination of the winners by the Prize Judge will consider the reviewers’ feedback and scores, your utility’s submission package, and program policy factors.

4.4 Announcement of Winners
Approximately 60 days after the phase closes, the Prize Administrator will notify the winners and request the necessary information to distribute the prizes. The Prize Administrator will then publicly announce the winners.

Additional Requirements
Competitors are responsible for reading and complying with additional requirements described in Appendix 1.

COMPETITORS WHO DO NOT COMPLY WITH ALL APPENDIX 1 REQUIREMENTS MAY BE DISQUALIFIED.

5 RMUC Program Background
The IIJA, commonly referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, directs DOE to invest $250 million in an RMUC Grant and Technical Assistance Program (RMUC Program) to improve the cybersecurity posture of eligible electric utilities. DOE will provide financial investments, TA, training, and other resources to enhance the cybersecurity posture of entities eligible to participate in the RMUC Program to help them protect against, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity threats, and to increase their participation in cybersecurity threat information-sharing programs. Entities eligible to participate in the RMUC Program are:
• A rural electric cooperative
• A utility owned by a political subdivision of a state, such as a municipally owned electric utility • A utility owned by any agency, authority, corporation, or instrumentality of one or more political subdivisions of a state
• A not-for-profit entity that is in a partnership with no fewer than six entities described above • An investor-owned electric utility that sells less than 4,000,000 megawatt hours of electricity per year.

The RMUC Program is authorized to prioritize three segments of the eligible population: utilities with limited cybersecurity resources; utilities with assets critical to the reliability of the bulk power system; and utilities that own defense critical electric infrastructure. More information about the RMUC Program can be found at the RMUC Program website.

The ACT 1 Prize Program is one of the cornerstones of the RMUC Program intended to provide funding to reward eligible utilities for making informed decisions on purchasing and implementing solutions to address areas of highest risk. ACT 1 will focus on providing financial prizes and TA to eligible entities that have limited cybersecurity resources and/or serve military installations.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following relative to Bid Schedule No. 5401, 115kV Circuit Switcher Retrofit for the Redding Electric Utility:
(1) Award Bid Group I (115kV circuit switchers and support structures) and exercise the City’s purchase option for Bid Group II (Spare parts: seismic analysis item 1 and seismic analysis item 2) to Southern States, LLC for an evaluated price of $563,429.38; (2) Authorize an additional project amount of $141,000 (25 percent of the Contract amount) for additional materials to complete the project and project contingency; (3) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to approve project construction change orders up to and not to exceed the total project budget; and
(4) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 18th Amendment to City Budget Resolution 2023-060 appropriating $204,500 for increased costs of materials and supplies for the Substation Circuit Switchers capital project.

Fiscal Impact
The City Council approved $500,000 for replacing the aging Substation Circuit Switchers in Redding Electric Utility’s (REU) Fiscal Year 2024-25 Biennial Budget. However, due to increased costs of materials and supplies, staff estimates the updated total project cost to be approximately $704,500 (including an additional $141,000 for project completion and project contingency). REU has adequate reserves to fund the additional cost of $204,500 for this capital project.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to award the bid to Southern States, LLC, and provide alternative direction to staff.

Packet Pg. 258
Report to Redding City Council November 1, 2023
Re: 4.5(a)--Award of Bid Schedule No. 5401 - 115kV Circuit Switcher Retrofit Page 2 Background/Analysis
REU’s system has five “line-backer” style circuit switchers that have been in service for over 30 years. This style circuit switcher is outdated and no longer manufactured. Spare parts are increasingly difficult to find, introducing the risk of being unable to repair failures. Failure of a circuit switcher would significantly affect system reliability, and the current lead time on this equipment is 56 weeks.

Staff separated Bid Schedule No. 5401 into two separate groups: (1) Bid Group I - 115kV circuit switchers and support structures, and (2) Bid Group II – Spare parts. On September 14, 2023, staff opened one bid proposal. Based on bid proposals and experience with the company, staff recommends awarding Bid Group I and exercising the City’s purchase option of Bid Group II’s seismic analysis item 1 and item 2 to Southern States, LLC. Due to the custom foundations of the circuit switchers ordered, seismic analysis and design are necessary to ensure the equipment complies with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers standards.

The original bid request included the Moore Road substation in the scope, but after additional field review, REU staff discovered there was no need to replace the equipment due to it being a newer model with available market support.

Environmental Review
On June 20, 2023, the City Council determined the REU Substation Facility Maintenance Project is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15301 - Existing Facilities. No further action is required.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals

City Mana er Bud et Messa e
Introduction
The City of Redding ( City) Biennial budget for Fiscal Year 2023- 24 and Fiscal Year 2024- 25 is focused on maintaining the gains the City has made over the past four years. Over the past four years, the economy was better than expected and through fiscal discipline and a focus on priority goals and objectives, the City made great strides in many areas, incl uding the following:
a) Increased Fire Department staffing to include three fire personnel on every fire apparatus for the first time in City history, working towards a four-person per fire apparatus on three separate engines, utilizing grant funding.
b) Increased Police staffing across the board with 122 budgeted sworn officers allowing for the re- establishment of Beat No. 8, the creation of two Crisis Intervention Response Teams ( with two officers per team), adopting and staffing a Park Ranger program with four Park Rangers, and the addition of a bike team. This provides far more resources to police our city not only responding to calls for service but increasing the time available for proactive policing.
c) Provided market- based salary and benefit packages to several employee groups and continuing the progress in this area.
d) Investment in technology upgrades including a new Enterprise Resource Planning platform with accessory modules, vetting, implementing and installing a new City- wide phone system, new facility access control system, new radios for public- safety groups, and a new computer aided dispatch system.
e) Invested in infrastructure ranging from painting City Ha11, to the Caldwell Park Skate Park along with large investments in utility equipment replacement, upgrade and modernization.

Review and updating of City policies and procedures such as the travel policy, alternative work schedules, hybrid/ remote work policy and the program review of the City' s workforce management system and methods.
g) Continuation of the downtown revitalization with the completion of the high-profile Block 7 project and the implementation ofthe Downtown Parking System. h) Completion of the updated Downtown Specific Plan, in-process of the General Plan update, and launching the Redding Riverfront Speci c Plan update.

Maintaining these gains while developing this budget and grappling with a slowing economy required grit, creativity, and a willingness to push against some norms associated with typical budget development. City Council insight was necessary to develop the budget and was provided at three workshops with the City Council providing solid direction on various topics resulting in the proposed budget. With this guidance the proposed budget maintains all advancements the City has achieved and provides some additional areas of growth. The path Packet Pg. 272 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 6-20-2023 (4.5(a)--Award of Bid Schedule No. 5401 - 115kV Circuit Switcher Retrofit) Report to Redding City Council June 20, 2023
Re: 9. 1( c)-- Consider Resolution adopting and approving City of Redding Biennial BudgetPage 3 forward is treacherous and will require continual vigilance and perhaps swift action to maintain the solid financial footing that has always been the City' s strength.

Revenue
The City of Redding sales tax revenue for Fiscal Year 2022 — 2023 is estimated to be below projections by over $ 2 million with total General Fund tax revenues estimated to be below projections by $1. 7 million. This budget " loss" combined with the corresponding impact to the City' s 10- year plan has been the largest obstacle in the creation of this budget. To put this in perspective, a $ 1. 7 million loss is equivalent to eight lnid- level police officer positions. The $ 2 million loss in sales tax represents a reduction of approximately 6 percent in that single funding source. Future revenue has also proven very difficult to project given the uncertain economy with high inflation, low unemployment and increasing interest rates. Many economists are predicting a recession while others disagree with this thought. Based on the uncertainty, staff recommended that the City Council approve modest increases in the major General Fund tax categories. These revenue forecasts are as follows: Sales tax slightly above a 2. 5 percent increase in FY 2024 and slightly above 2. 5 percent in FY 2025; Property tax with a slight increase above 3 percent in FY 2024 and above 3 percent in FY 2025; Transient Occupancy tax above 4 percent in FY 2024 and above 4 percent in FY 2025; Cannabis tax and other taxes with an increase of just over 4 percent in FY 2024 and above 4 percent in FY 2025.

ARPA Funding
The City of Redding was provided $ 18. 6 million in funds from the American Rescue Plan Act ARPA) to be utilized in the flexible manner as established in the United States Treasury Fina1 Rule. The City Council provided initial direction in fund spending in February 2022, prior to the downturn in the economy. With the downturn and the noted loss of General Fund Revenues the City Council has redirected a portion of this funding to assist in maintaining the newly established public services that have been put into place. More particularly, this funding will be used to pay for officers assigned to Beat No. 8 and the Park Rangers through the Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 and will be used to augment the Police and Fire Departments rolling stock budgets by 1 million each. Additionally, $750, 000 wi11 be used to maintain/ replace General Fund facilities.

While it is not normally prudent to cover personnel expenses by " one- time funding" it is recommended to do so in order to maintain services while providing an opportunity to observe the health of the economy utilizing this additional rime to make other adjustments in the budget and 10- year plan to maintain the minimum 10 percent reserve.

Regulatory Pressure and Modern Requirements
The regulatory nature of California is in full swing and the development of this budget takes this into account. Ranging from transportation electrification to wildfire protection to organic diversion, the pace is fast and furious. Equally challenging is the threat created by cyber attacks and technology obsolescence. The proposed budget accounts for these, both in the short term and long term.

Cyber security threats continue to grow and the cost of defending against them grows as well.

The Information Technology Department ( IT) takes the lead in combating this threat. Over the past f w years, signi cant progress has been made by changes to process, staff augmentation and technology investment, adding a Cyber Security Officer, increased security for passwords, and deploying a dual authentication program. This budget continues this trend in an effort to balance Packet Pg. 273 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 6-20-2023 (4.5(a)--Award of Bid Schedule No. 5401 - 115kV Circuit Switcher Retrofit) Report to Redding City Council June 20, 2023
Re: 9. 1( c)-- Consider Resolution adopting and approving City of Redding Biennial BudgetPage 4 fiscal prudence and continue to reduce risk. Similar improvements wi11 take place in the next two years as well as increased physical security in the form of security cameras and facility access control. Consequently, the IT budget has expanded to account for these necessary actions yet even with this increase, we still remain short of truly ineeting the need, due to funding constraints.

Public works is another department significantly impacted during this budget cycle, from a regulatory perspective, with all utilities having pressure to comply. Iowever, the Solid Waste and Storm Drain Divisions are the hardest hit and the respective Division budget requests reflect this. The Storm Drain Utility is facing ever increasing restrictions on pollutants entering the water way creating a need for large investment in infrastructure and personnel. The Solid Waste Division is impacted by the recently required Organics Diversion Program as we11 as City growth. Both ofthese issues are more fully explained in the Public Works overview.

Lastly, while the substantive requirements ofthe mandates of electrifying the City' s fleet will not occur during this budget cycle, continuing to prepare and plan for this eventuality is prudent.

Staff continues to support statewide efforts to put some common sense into this discussion and has initiated a fleet development study along with the continued enhancement of the electric grid to handle the future load created by the conversion from fossil fuels to " clean" power.

Unfunded Needs and Other Challenges
As with previous budgets, the City of Redding struggles to obtain the funding necessary to maintain its infrastructure. With the City being more than 60 square miles, and a low population density, the traditional funding schemes employed in California generally fall short of providing adequate funding. The City relies heavily on grant revenue to construct improvements such as bike lanes, housing, and parks, but these expenses generally fall to General Fund tax revenues to maintain this infrastructure. The same General Fund tax revenues also must provide for general government services such as Public Safety. This, coupled with recent inflationary pressures, inventory shortages, insurance increases and the cost of employee benefits, makes balancing this budget a challenge.

Pension
The cost of employee pensions continues to impact the available resources to provide City services. These pension costs come in two forms; one is the annual cost and the other is the unfunded liability expense. While the former has increased due to a change in assumptions by the California Public Employees' Retirement System ( Ca1PERS) the latter is a key cause of budget difficulties. Due to changes in 2017 by CaIPERS, the unfunded liability cost skyrocketed.

The unfunded pension liability cost to the General Fund in this budget is $ 13. 6 and $ 14. 6 million in FY 2024 and FY 2025 respectively. The Budget Summary section contains much more detail related to the pension costs for the City
Workforce
There has been good success in stabilizing and growing the City' s workforce over the past two years but it remains imperative that the City continues to focus on recruiting, retaining, training and supporting employees. With the completion of the personnel process report, the implementation of the new Enterprise Resource Planning program and human capital Packet Pg. 274 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 6-20-2023 (4.5(a)--Award of Bid Schedule No. 5401 - 115kV Circuit Switcher Retrofit) Report to Redding City Council June 20, 2023
Re: 9. 1( c)-- Consider Resolution adopting and approving City of Redding Biennial BudgetPage 5 management software, there wi11 be ample opportunities to modernize the tools and protocols which should enhance employee satisfaction.

The City' s workforce is aging with a high percentage of staff at, or nearing, retirement age, particularly at the Director level. Therefore, focus on succession planning will remain a high priority. Additional funding has been added to departments for training and efforts are being focused on preparing staff for future opportunities. Some ofthese opportunities will be driven by the ever-increasing regulatory environment in which we work. New regulation usually requires new expenses often in the form of staffing. By focusing on training and succession planning, the City will be better able to continue to offer quality services to the City' s residents.

EnviNonmental Review
Staff has reviewed the budget and the associated general maintenance activities of various departments and determined that the general maintenance activities are Categorically Exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, per Section 15301 - Existing Facilities. Class 1 exemptions include the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public structures, facilities and equipment. City facilities/ equipment will undergo general maintenance activities throughout the course of the 2023/ 24 and 2024/ 25 fiscal years; however, the maintenance activities will result in negligible or no expansion of use. The proposed activities and action areas have been reviewed for sensitive resources and will not have a significant effect on biological or cultural resources such as threatened or endangered species or their habitats, sensitive vegetation communities, tribal lands, or tribal cultural resources. The maintenance activities have no potential to have a signi cant effect on the environment.

Council Pr iority/ City Manager Goals

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve setting a Public Hearing on December 5, 2023, at 6:00 p.m., in the City Council Chambers, 777 Cypress Avenue, Redding, California, to consider increases in Redding Electric Utility (REU) rates (four percent revenue increase per year) effective with the January 2024 and January 2025 billing cycles, and an increase in the benefit of REU’s Residential Energy Discount for income-qualified households.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with setting the public hearing.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to set the public hearing as proposed and provide further direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
REU increased rates in 2022 and 2023 by two percent per year to offset inflationary pressures and comply with federal and state regulatory requirements. Aging infrastructure replacement, rising power supply costs, further inflationary pressures, and funding REU’s Senate Bill 901 Wildfire Mitigation Plan drive the need for rate increases. REU has mitigated cost increases as much as possible, limiting controllable operations and maintenance costs to a less than three percent annual growth rate despite record-breaking inflation.

REU’s current biennial budget, adopted by the Council on June 20, 2023, included a five-year financial plan. The financial plan included a four percent revenue increase every year through 2027 and a two percent increase in 2028. Only the four percent rate increases for the years 2024 and 2025 are being proposed at this time.

Report to Redding City Council October 31, 2023
Re: 4.5(b)--Set a Public Hearing for December 5, 2023 regarding REU rate increases Page 2 The effect of the proposed changes on each customer’s utility bill will depend on several factors, including how much electricity is used each month. On average, standard residential customers will see an increase of about $6.75 per month starting in 2024 and an additional $7.75 per month in 2025. In addition, staff will recommend increasing the Residential Energy Discount (Public Benefits Program) for all Residential and Residential Multi-Family customers, mitigating a portion of the rate increase for income-qualified customers.

Commercial customers will experience varying impacts due to differences in their energy usage and business size. The City of Redding (City) will provide tables and calculators to the public before the public hearing. These tools will be accessible on the City's website and at public workshops. They will display estimated changes in bills for different types of customers.

Customers can also enter their own energy usage to see how these changes may affect them.

Staff projections show that REU would remain the lowest electric provider in the area, with average standard residential bills for REU, Shasta Lake, and PG&E at $160, $166, and $341, respectively (2025 projected rates).

A panel of five community members representing a cross-section of REU’s customer makeup participated in a three-part meeting series to discuss the foundations of not-for-profit public power, evaluate REU’s cost of service, and review the proposed rate plan. The consensus of the panel was that the proposed rate increases are appropriate, fair, and equitable.

Additional public workshops will be held prior to the public hearing, both in-person and webbased, to ensure inclusion, and information will be provided directly to community-based organizations.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Budget and Financial Management – “Achieve balanced and stable 10-year Financial Plans for all funds.”
• Communication and Transparency – “Improve the quality of communication with the public and City employees to enhance knowledge and increase transparency to improve public trust.”

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions related to Bid Schedule No. 5410, Furnishing and Delivering Four, One-Ton Trucks:
(1) Award bid to Crown Motors; and
(2) Authorize the purchase of four, one-ton trucks with a utility body at a net delivered cost of $305,815.05 to replace three older trucks in the City of Redding Parks Division and one in the City of Redding Building Maintenance Division.

Fiscal Impact
The cost of the replacement vehicles proposed is included in the approved rolling stock budgets for Fiscal Year 2023-24 for both the Parks and Building Maintenance Divisions. The cost of the four vehicles purchased from Crown Motors is $305,815.05. There are sufficient rolling stock funds in both the Parks and Building Maintenance Divisions' budgets to cover the purchase of the vehicles.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to authorize the purchase and provide alternate direction to the staff. This action may result in increased downtime and maintenance costs.

Background/Analysis
The Parks Division team maintains landscaping for over 100 City of Redding (City) owned sites, including parks, buildings, and office campus landscaping, street medians, and special facilities throughout the City. The Parks Division deploys staff and the necessary equipment and tools to job sites for maintenance service duties, including mowing, irrigation and plumbing, tree care, weed and pest control, erosion control, vandalism clean-up, playground inspection, and other activities. These job duties require a range of vehicles, trailers, equipment, and tools. Building Maintenance staff is responsible for inspecting, and maintaining 701,000 square feet of Cityowned buildings in various locations.

Report to Redding City Council November 1, 2023
Re: 4.6(a)--Award Bid Schedule 5410 Page 2
These truck replacements in both divisions were closely evaluated and recommended by the Fleet Division before being included in the City's adopted budget. The average Parks Division vehicle is 16 years old, and the Building Maintenance average vehicle is 11 years old.

Considering these vehicles' age, mileage, and service history, they are beyond the normal replacement schedules. Regular vehicle replacements should occur based on their expected lifecycle costs and considering the cumulative costs of repairs and maintenance.

Bid opportunity notices were distributed to potential vendors, in addition to posting the bid on the City's website and advertising in the Record Searchlight. Three bids were received. The apparent low bid was received from Lithia Chevrolet, but it was incomplete and therefore disqualified. Staff reached out to the company on multiple occasions and received no response.

Towne Ford was the second low bid, with local vendor Crown Motors' bid within five percent of Towne Ford's bid. In accordance with the Redding Municipal Code Section 4.20.180, Crown Motors agreed to match Towne Ford's bid of $71,245 (unit price without tax) per truck. The quote includes four 2024 Ford F350, regular cab chassis XL, gasoline engine, two-wheel drive trucks with a Scelzi Service Body.

Approving the purchase of these vehicles will provide the staff with the equipment they need to perform their duties efficiently and effectively, ensuring safe and clean public spaces.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code § 21000, et seq., "CEQA") and CEQA Guidelines (Title 14 California Code of Regulations § 15000, et seq.) Section 15378 and is therefore exempt from CEQA.
