CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the City of Redding Electric Utility Director, or his designee, to submit a Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships Grant Program application for approximately $35 million to implement REUs Grid Modernization Program to modernize and enhance the distribution system’s reliability and resiliency.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with submitting the grant application. Additionally, there is no penalty for opting out of the grant program at a later date.

The total budget for the Grid Modernization Program is anticipated to be approximately $46,665,500. Staff anticipates applying for $35 million through the Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) Grant Program that requires a 33 percent match ($11.55 million). In order to fulfill the budget, staff projects that match in the amount of $11,665,500, can be met by completing projects included in Redding Electric Utility’s (REU) five-year plan and the Community Benefits Plan and can be paid for with grant proceeds. Therefore, the Grid Modernization Program would be a net financial benefit to REU by reducing future ratepayerfunded capital investment and associated rate pressures.

Should REU be awarded the grant, staff will return to the City Council (Council) with complete project details and resolutions for the Council’s consideration.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to apply for the funds or provide alternative direction to staff.

Report to Redding City Council March 27, 2024
Re: 4.5(b)--Authorize GRIP Grant Application Submittal to Dept. of Energy Page 2 Background/Analysis
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Grid Deployment Office (GDO) administers the Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) Grant Program, which aims to enhance grid flexibility and improve the resilience of the power system against growing threats of extreme weather and climate change.

Of the three eligible topic areas, REU selected Topic Area 1: Grid Resilience Utility and Industry Grants (Resiliency Grant). The Resiliency Grant supports the following activities:
• Modernize the electric grid to reduce impacts due to extreme weather and natural disasters.
• Funds comprehensive transformational transmission and distribution technology solutions that will mitigate multiple hazards across a region or within a community, including wildfires, floods, hurricanes, extreme heat, extreme cold, storms, and any other event that can disrupt the power system.
• Provides grants to electric grid operators, electricity storage operators, electricity generators, transmission owners or operators, distribution providers, and fuel suppliers.

As part of the pre-application process, REU was required to submit a Concept Paper to the DOE by January 12, 2024 – the concept paper is attached. The DOE reviews the concept papers, either encouraging the applicant to proceed with a full application or discouraging a full one. Within the concept paper, REU proposed initiatives to help enhance its distribution system’s reliability and resiliency by strategically transforming its infrastructure from the 1990s era design to a modernized framework.

REU’s Grid Modernization Program includes the following projects, which were identified in the 2021-2026 Strategic Plan:

1. Line Capacity Upgrades
a. Upgrade line capacity to accommodate increased adoption of electrification, integration of distributed energy resources, and system-wide load growth.

2. Enhance Protection Settings
a. Replace all 12kV feeder breaker relays and develop individual feeder settings to enhance protection for extreme weather events.

3. Replace Aging Underground Cables
a. Replace 150 miles of aging underground cable identified as being at risk for failure to decrease the likelihood of outages, improving reliability and restoration times.

4. Modernize Construction Standards
a. Reform Construction Standards to ensure that engineering, design, drafting, supply chain, maintenance inspectors, and line crews have a common understanding of materials and methods used to construct our system.

On February 29, 2024, REU received notification from the DOE encouraging staff to proceed with a full application, indicating that the program and projects outlined in the GRIP Grant Packet Pg. 78
Report to Redding City Council March 27, 2024
Re: 4.5(b)--Authorize GRIP Grant Application Submittal to Dept. of Energy Page 3 Concept Paper meet the qualifications of the funding opportunity. The Notification Letter is attached.

The full grant application is evaluated based on several criteria, including technical expertise, project management and feasibility, and community benefit. To meet the required grant application requirements, REU must include a Community Benefits Plan demonstrating how the projects will ensure that federal investments advance four goals: 1) community and labor engagement; 2) investing in job quality and workforce continuity; 3) advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA); and 4) contributing to the Justice40 Initiative’s goal of delivering 40% of the overall benefits to disadvantaged communities.

REU’s Community Benefits Plan entails establishing a stakeholder engagement group comprising community members who may be affected by the projects. This group will help identify priority areas, potential adverse impacts, and strategies for mitigation during the preconstruction phases. Additionally, REU intends to collaborate with other City departments and Community-Based Organizations to modernize policies and enhance opportunities for job access and training, with a focus on underrepresented communities. The Community Benefits Plan will be funded by grant proceeds. An overview of the Community Benefits Plan is attached.

The complete GRIP Grant application deadline is April 17, 2024. REU has partnered with iParametrics, a grant-writing consultancy, to develop the comprehensive application. The DOE anticipates issuing selection notifications to applicants during the Summer or Fall of 2024.

If funding is awarded, staff will return to the Council seeking approval of the proposed projects outlined in the Grid Modernization Program. Upon receiving Council approval, staff will begin executing the projects, documenting project milestones, managing project budgets, and providing regular updates to the DOE. Progress payments will be disbursed to successful applicants based on reported project advancements and the implementation of Community Benefits Plans.

Attachment: ^Notification Letter (4.5(b)--Authorize GRIP Grant Application Submittal to Dept. of Energy) 1 Overview of GRIP Grant Community Benefits
Program
The Department of Energy's (DOE) Grid Deployment Office (GDO) administers the Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) Grant Program, which aims to enhance grid flexibility and improve the resilience of the power system against growing threats of extreme weather and climate change. REU is preparing a grant application for Topic Area 1: Grid Resilience Utility and Industry Grants (Resiliency Grant).

REU's Grant Application includesthe following projects, which were identified in the 2021‐2026 Strategic Plan:
1) Line Capacity Upgrades ‐ Upgrades to REU's distribution grid's system and line capacity facilitate electrification, integration of distributed energy resources, and system‐wide load growth. 2) Enhance Protection Settings ‐ REU aims to replace each of its 12kV feeder breaker relays and develop individual feeder settings to enhance protection for extreme weather events. 3) Replace Aging Underground Cables ‐ 150 miles of aging underground cable have been identified as being at risk for failure. Replacing them with more robust cables decreases the likelihood of outages, leading to improved reliability and restoration times.
4) Modernized Construction Standards ‐ REU's Construction Standards are critical to ensuring that engineering, design, drafting, supply chain, maintenance inspectors, and line crews have a common understanding of materials and methods used to construct our system.

One of the important aspects of a competitive grant application is to develop a scope of work and budget for a "Community Benefit Plan" (CBP). The CBP is worth 20% of the total scoring criteria and includes four CBP elements.
1) Community and Labor Engagement ‐ Meaningful engagement with community and labor partners leading to formal agreements with accountability to affected stakeholders. 2) Investing in Quality Jobs ‐ Create quality jobs to attract and retain skilled workers and ensure workers have a voice on the job over decisions that affect them. 3) Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) ‐ Equitable access to wealth‐building opportunities (teaming, access to quality jobs, business and contracting opportunities, etc.). 4) Justice 40 ‐ Meet or exceed the objectives of the Justice40 initiative that 40% of the overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities.

Both the DOE and our grant consultant, iParametrics, have emphasized the importance of a competitive CBP. For example, in the 2023 round of funding, 72% of awarded respondents were responsive to all four of the CBP Elements above.   This document explains the current elements of REU's community benefits plan, which is the basis of the design as Staff continues to finalize the grant application and budget.

REU's Community Benefit Program
Packet Pg. 87
Attachment: Community Benefit Program Overview (4.5(b)--Authorize GRIP Grant Application Submittal to Dept. of Energy) 2 REUs Proposed CBP is responsive to all four of the CBP elements in the following ways.

Community and Labor Engagement:
1) Labor Management Agreement ‐ Upgrades to REU's distribution grid's system and line capacity facilitate electrification, integration of distributed energy resources, and system‐wide load growth. If the bargaining units are willing to meet and confer, REU will commit to developing a Labor Management Agreement to be implemented as a Side Letter to existing memorandums of understanding. This agreement will document the collaborative initiatives that support the four CBP elements. For example, the City may commit to improving the safety and skill training program and provide 80 hours of safety and skills training per year, include hourly employees on safety committees, develop a pre‐apprentice training scholarship for local, disadvantaged youth, commit to prioritizing in‐house labor over contract labor, maintain REU hourly wages 5% above prevailing wage "Basic Hourly Rates" for the duration of the grant performance period for Apprentice Line Technicians and Line Technicians, etc.   The LMA will help ensure continuity of work in partnership with the labor unions.
2) Community Advisory Group ‐ The proposed infrastructure project adopts a "Community‐Centric Advisory Engagement" approach. This strategy is designed to foreground the importance of aligning the project with community needs and values, ensuring the active involvement of local residents in the decision‐making process. By emphasizing transparent communication, inclusivity, and mutual respect, we aim to create a collaborative environment where the project meets its technical and logistical goals and significantly benefits the community. This approach ensures that the project fosters positive, sustainable impacts, enhancing the well‐being and satisfaction of all stakeholders involved. The Advisory Group will comprise local organizations representing businesses, disadvantaged customers, workforce training, environmental conservation, educational institutions, health services, cultural and recreational groups, and local governance. This diversified composition ensures a holistic representation of community interests, enabling the project to address various concerns and opportunities, from economic development and environmentalsustainability to cultural enrichment and social welfare. Together, these organizations will play a pivotal role in guiding the project to achieve outcomes that are not only successful in a technical sense but deeply rooted in the community's aspirations and long‐term well‐being
Investing in Quality Jobs
1) Apprenticeship Program Development ‐ The Labor‐Management Agreements with the International Brotherhood of Electrictrial Workers (IBEW) and the United Public Employees of California (UPEC) will help demonstrate responsivenessto investing in quality jobs. To further demonstrate responsiveness, REU will finalize our IBEW apprentice programs and hire two apprentices, with a commitment that at least two full‐time equivalents (FTEs) of apprentices or pre‐apprentices be used on this project.

Furthermore, REU will expand the Registered apprentice programs to include Line Clearance Arborist and Substation Electrical Technician Apprentice Programs. 2) Commitment to "Good Jobs Principles – "The Departments of Commerce and Labor have partnered to identify what comprises a good job. These eight principles create a framework for workers, businesses, labor unions, advocates, researchers, state and local governments, and federal agencies Packet Pg. 88
Attachment: Community Benefit Program Overview (4.5(b)--Authorize GRIP Grant Application Submittal to Dept. of Energy) 3 for a shared vision of job quality.1
" The City currently models most of these principles, which will be highlighted in the grant application. However, there are some areas where REU will strive to integrate the Good Jobs Principles. These include the following:
a. Utilized skills‐based testing in recruitment: REU will integrate skills‐based testing for recruitment of hiring, minimizing unequal treatment or utilization of selection criteria that are unrelated to job performance.
b. Competitive Salaries: REU will propose that the City commit to maintaining hourly wages for Line Technician and Apprentice Line Technicians at least 5% higher than the prevailing wage base rate for the equivalent classifications. Current wages are 12%‐21% higher than prevailing wage rates, and agreed upon wage increases are forecasted to maintain this difference.
c. Job Security and Working Conditions: REU will take steps to promote Job Security and working conditions. We will work with both IBEW and UPEC to prioritize the work of REU staff over temporary or contract labor. Furthermore, we will include hourly employees on the appropriate health and safety committees to ensure they are able to provide input. d. Safety and Skills Training:  As part of our commitment to excellence and safety, REU will ensure a minimum of 80 hours per year dedicated to safety and skills training for Staff in the Line Technician series (from Ground Worker to Senior Line Technician), as well as for those in the Planner and Drafting series. This training program is designed to equip each job classification with specific skills tailored to their roles, facilitating staff development and progression through their respective series.
3) Job Creation – High‐quality job creation is a priority for the GRIP Grant. To this end, REU will propose the creation of new positions related to the increased scope of work, including the following:
a. Grant Manager: If awarded the grant, the new Grant Manager will be responsible for overseeing the entire grant process, ensuring compliance and effective financial management, and coordinating with various departments to implement grant‐funded projects successfully.
b. Standards, Planning, and Drafting Manager: In response to the additional workload of overhauling REU's Construction Standards and increasing the rate of project execution. REU will hire a new manager to oversee the Service Planning Department and Drafting and will create and manage our new REU Standards Committee, which is comprised of stakeholders from Planning, Drafting, Engineering, Warehouse, Procurement, and construction staff. c. Drafter: REU must add another drafter to support the Standards Overhaul Project. d. Line Crews: REU currently has nine vacant Line Technician positions. If awarded the grant, REU must pursue more aggressively filling these positions.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA)
REU will actively enhance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) through targeted programs and increased financial support for underrepresented communities. REU plans to partner with local entities to extend its outreach efforts to disadvantaged groups, aiming to foster a more inclusive workforce. A significant expansion of scholarships, from $50K total funding to $200K total funding, will underline REU's commitment to DEIA, providing substantialsupport to low‐income individuals aspiring to careersin the energy sector.

Packet Pg. 89
Attachment: Community Benefit Program Overview (4.5(b)--Authorize GRIP Grant Application Submittal to Dept. of Energy) 4 scholarships will be specifically tailored to cover educational costs for Lineman College and associate degrees related to Electrical Power Technology, facilitating access to pre‐apprenticeship programs for those from underprivileged backgrounds. In addition, REU plans to update scoring criteria for RFPs (Requests for Proposals) related to this grant project, incorporating DEIA considerations to ensure project partners and contractors align with these core values. Through these initiatives, REU intends to demonstrate a profound commitment to building a diverse and inclusive workforce, removing financial barriers to education and employment, and ensuring equal opportunities within the energy industry.

Justice 40 Initiatives
"Created under the Biden‐Harris Administration, Justice40 establishes the goal that 40% of the overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities (DACs).2" Incorporating the Justice40 initiative into the grant application, REU is committed to proactively anticipating and mitigating potential negative impacts on Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) through the development of a comprehensive "Good Neighbor Plan." This plan, developed through our Community Advisory Group, will address concerns such as construction noise, pollution, outages, and traffic impacts, ensuring our operations remain considerate of community well‐being. Moreover, REU will prioritize projects that directly benefit DACs, recognizing that these communities often have the oldest infrastructure and are disproportionately affected by rate pressures.

Conclusion and Next Steps
The Community Benefits Plan is a critical aspect of the GRIP Grant Applications. Although it is only 20% of the application score, DOE has gone to great lengths to emphasize that a strong plan is required for a winning application.   If approved to submit the grant, Staff will continue to develop a robust Community Benefits Plan and a solid technical application.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution proclaiming Friday, April 26, 2024, Community Tree Planting Day, otherwise known as Arbor Day, in the City of Redding; and recognizing the City of Redding’s Community Services Department - Parks Division for receiving the Tree City U.S.A. Award, and the City of Redding Electric Utility for receiving the Tree Line U.S.A. Utility Award.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund.

Alternative Action
The City Council could decline to adopt the resolution proclaiming Friday, April 26, 2024, as Tree Planting Day and not recognize the Tree City U.S.A. Award or the Tree Line U.S.A.

Utility Award and provide staff with alternate direction.

Background/Analysis
On January 4, 1872, J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of the Nebraska Territory and tree enthusiast, proposed a tree planting holiday called “Arbor Day” at a meeting of the State Board of Agriculture to spread his message of the value of trees. Arbor Day was officially proclaimed in 1874 by Nebraska’s Governor, Robert W. Furnas, and eventually became a legal state holiday. By 1920, more than 45 states and territories were celebrating Arbor Day by planting trees, and children across the nation were learning about the importance of trees in schools. Today, Arbor Day is celebrated in all 50 states.

Report to Redding City Council March 27, 2024
Re: 4.6(a)--Resolution for Arbor Day and Designations Page 2 The City of Redding (City) was notified by the State of California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) that it was the recipient of two awards from the Arbor Day Foundation. The Community Services Department - Parks Division received the Tree City U.S.A. Growth Award for demonstrating the highest levels of tree care and community engagement during the 2023 calendar year. This is the Parks Divisions 43rd consecutive year to receive the award. Redding Electric Utility (REU) received the Tree Line U.S.A. Utility Award for its 30th consecutive year, an award that recognizes public and private utilities that demonstrate best practices in protecting and enhancing urban forests.

In 2024, the Parks Division will continue to embrace the spirit of Arbor Day through its treeplanting program, with trees being planted in two new parks: Shastina Ranch Neighborhood Park and Whistle Stop Park. The combined effort will result in the planting of 90 shade trees. Whistle Stop Park, situated in downtown Redding, aims to combat the heat island effect common in urban areas and provides a shady place to gather during hot summer days. Efforts will also be directed toward maintaining trees from the Re-Grow Redding and Northeast Crossing Trail Projects. Finally, the Parks Division will host a booth at the local Earth Day event on April 20, 2024, distributing informative brochures and providing guidance on proper tree pruning techniques for young and mature trees. REU will continue to promote the coexistence of trees and utility lines through communication, education, and training.

While most holidays celebrate something that has already happened and is worth remembering, Arbor Day represents hope for the future. Planting a tree provides clean air and water, cooling shade, habitat for wildlife, healthier communities, and natural beauty in its purest form. Through this program, the Community Services Department nurtures a culture of environmental responsibility and civic engagement, paving the way for a sustainable and thriving urban landscape that will benefit present and future generations alike.

Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and 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.”
• Government of the 21st Century – “Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today’s residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better decisions today.”
• Economic Development – “Facilitate and become a catalyst for economic development in Redding to create jobs, retain current businesses and attract new ones, and encourage investment in the community.”

The City of Redding is a Northern California community, located in Shasta County on the Sacramento River, with approximately 90,088 residents and a total service area of 179,223 residents from surrounding rural towns and counties. The Recreation Division (Redding Recreation) is directly responsible for conducting boating and water safety courses and is part of the City of Redding's Community Services Department, which is comprised of the Recreation, Parks Maintenance, and Trails Development Divisions and oversees the Redding Library,Redding Aquatic Center and the Civic Auditorium. Redding Recreation serves 90,088 residents with a total service area of over 200,000 residents from surrounding communities. Redding Recreation is dedicated to the motto "Parks Make Life Better."
Since 2005, Redding Recreation dedicated itself to providing quality boating safety programs to Northern California. It is the purpose of the City of Redding's boating safety program to support the California Division of Boating and Waterways' mission to provide safe and convenient public access to California's waterways and provide leadership in promoting the public's right to safe, enjoyable, and environmentally sound recreational boating. Redding Recreation is a leader in Shasta County within the field of water safety and recreational boating safety through its programming at the Redding Aquatic Center and its partnerships with the Redding Yacht Club and Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. Redding Recreation is committed to providing opportunities for youth to learn to be safe in, on and around the water. Over the last fourteen years, Redding Recreation has been growing and expanding our safety programs to ensure that youth in our county and surrounding service area have equitable access to our programs. The importance of boating safety programs is part of the Recreation Strategic Plan as well ast the Parks, Trails & Open Space Master Plan.

Currently, Redding Recreation is the only provider of publically available boating safety classes in Shasta County for 18 years. In this time, the program has expanded from a program focused on kayaking to a more comprehensive boating program that includes kayaking, stand up paddling, and youth sailing. The program was originally operated by a contract instructor who taught basic boat Contract # C8968326, City of Redding, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 __________________________________________________________________________ Page: 9 of 74

In 2005, Redding Recreation sought to implement a more standardized curriculum with the help of the American Red Cross and California Division of Boating and Waterways. Redding Recreation was able to transform the program into one that focused more wholly on safety and provide on-the-water practice at the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. This program is wholly based upon safety education and does not include competitive programs or racing.

In 2006, Redding Recreation saw the potential of providing kayak training to youth that would not otherwise have the means to participate in a kayak program. Introduction to Kayak Safety was included in the Redding Recreation Summer Day Camp programs to meet this goal. Over the past eleven years, we have continued to operate this program successfully with 2000+ children participating and practicing their skills at both The Redding Aquatic Center and Whiskeytown Lake.

The scholarship funds graciously provided by the California Department of Boating Waterways have allowed these children to have access to the valuable boating experiences.

In 2008, Redding Recreation sought to expand our program by offering Flat-Water Stand Up Paddling to the public and Summer Day Campers. This was in the early days of Stand Up Paddling before it gained the popularity that it enjoys today. Redding Recreation worked with the Sacramento State Aquatic Center to develop a program curriculum that would emphasize safety and provide constancy with skills and class structure.

Redding Recreation has experienced great success with both its kayaking and SUP programs, and in 2012, the opportunity arose to partner with the Redding Yacht Club and Whiskeytown to offer summer youth sailing camps. With the blessing of the California Department of Boating and Waterways, Redding Recreation took possession of 14 sailboats from the Forebay Aquatic Center.

It was able to offer scholarships for children to participate in the program. It has been an undisputed success, with over 700 children attending the program since 2012. In 2015, our kayaking program grew beyond our summer program. Through a partnership with Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, Redding Recreation offered kayak safety to local area schools as a field trip program. We have served over 800 students with more planned once school resume the ability to scedule field trips.

Through the years, one aspect of our program that has made it unique is the utilization of the Redding Aquatic Center which allows for instruction to take place in a safe lifeguard supervised environment before moving to the open water at Whiskeytown Lake. . We have found the combination of these two environments allows us to reach students who are hesitant and can be more confident in the water that is supervised and clear before moving out into the open water environment to complete their course training.

Objective 1 - Targeted Boating Safety Education Approach (Page 2)

2. Tell us why DBW should fund your program (not why you need the funding). In other words, how would it benefit boaters for you to be a recipient of this funding? This is an opportunity for you to tell how your program stands out. Give examples. For instance, do you have specific expertise, a stellar safety record, unique learning opportunities for boaters, or other things that make your program stand out? Redding Recreation is the regional leader in water safety courses and is the only provider of water safety courses and is the only provider of boating safety courses in Shasta County. The safety of participants is paramount and Redding Recreation has a stellar safety record, which we are immensly proud of. It is because of this reputation that we were able to enter into a partnership with Contract # C8968326, City of Redding, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 __________________________________________________________________________ Page: 10 of 74
Packet Pg. 107 Attachment: Grant Agreement C8968326 FY 2023-2024 (4.6(b)--Grant - Boating and Waterways) Exhibit A __________________________________________________________________________ the Shasta County Office of Education. We have chosen to focus on paddle-craft and non-moterized sailboats to reduce the impact of our programs on the natural environment. We have been and continue to be good stwerards of the equipment that we recieve and the waterways that we ustilize.

Redding Recreation has had the fortune to work in partnership with DBW to offer boating safety courses to the public and youth since 2005. DBW funding has purchased equipment and provided scholarships which have benefitted thousands of Northern California youth. As such Redding Recreation was named a Top Health & Safety Provider in 2023 by the American Red Cross and is the #7 top training provider in the Northern Territory, which includes California, Oregon and Nevada.

One of the other strengths of our program are the instructors. Our sailing program is headed up by Mike Strahle who has served our community with immense knowledge and pasion for sailing for over 30 years; and was named Champion of the Community in 2020 by the California Parks and Recreation Society. After a life-changing injury that left him paralyzed in 1985, Mike's enthusiasm for sailing was unquenchable. This led him to invent and patent the first trapseat, a device that helps disabled sailors to sit up and steer their craft. This invention led to the first Pan-Pacific Trapseat Cup in 1989 and he had a successful racing career. Mike has championed sailing for all people and especially youth and has created a program that is accessible and with a low barrier to entry. The sailing program provides expiriential learning opportunities that actively engage students through doing, seeing and feeling through hands on expiriences that heighten learning.

Objective 1 - Targeted Boating Safety Education Approach (Page 3) Organization demonstrates targeted approach to identified boating safety education needs and utilizes curriculum that addresses those needs

3.a. List up to three significant boating safety problems affecting boaters at large that you have identified in your general area. (Covid-19 issues, fires, or problems specific to your organization such as staffing shortages or trainings, that do not affect boaters at large are outside the scope of this question). For each safety problem identified in 3.a, how did you determine that the identified problems were significant? Access to and recreating in the water is vital to our city's identity. After all, our City limits are sandwiched between two recreational lakes that are part of the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area as well as bifurcated by the Sacramento River. Shasta Lake sits ten miles to the north of Redding with a capacity of 4,552,000 acre ft. of water and a surface area of 30,000 acres, making it the state's largest reservoir, making it the 3rd largest body of water after Lake Tahoe and the Salton Sea. Shasta Lake is popular with residents and tourists for boating, water skiing, house boating, and fishing. Whiskeytown Lake is located eight miles west of Redding and has a capacity of 241,100 acre-ft of water and is formed by Whiskeytown Dam on Clear Creek.

Water comes from the Lewiston Reservoir, supplied by the Trinity River, via the Clear Creek Tunnel, which comes from the bottom of Lewiston Lake. Whiskeytown is favored for recreational activities like swimming, boating, and fishing. Since 1996, personal watercraft have been banned from the lake, making Whiskeytown popular with paddle craft enthusiasts and the sailing community.

The City of Redding has spent considerable effort to enhance boating facilities on the Sacramento River and provide access to the public at these facilities. Due to this effort, the use of the river by motorized and small non-motorized craft between Keswick Dam and Red Bluff has increased significantly in the last fifteen years. The City estimates that the annual usage exceeds 85,000 launches, and of that number, approximately 20,000 launches are small non-motorized craft. The City of Redding Parks Trails and Open Space Master Plan has prescribed for increasing boating infrastructure within the region with an emphasis on the kayak and paddlecraft launch access. The Contract # C8968326, City of Redding, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 __________________________________________________________________________ Page: 11 of 74
Packet Pg. 108 Attachment: Grant Agreement C8968326 FY 2023-2024 (4.6(b)--Grant - Boating and Waterways) Exhibit A __________________________________________________________________________ goal is as follows:

Goal R 1: Recognize the Sacramento River as the backbone of the City's park system.

The City of Redding has developed a Regional River Parkway plan for areas along the Sacramento River between Shasta Dam and the City of Anderson to increase river access for residents and promote recreational opportunities and provide connections to school facilities, trails, and other destination points. If the City is investing in expanding access to boat launches, it is essential to mitigate injury and accident risk through the education of youth who will ultimately grow to benefit from these facilities in the future. Redding Recreation has identified three boating safety problems that we are working to address in our community.

1. The high risk of boating-related injuries in Shasta County, Lack of equitable access to Boating Safety Courses in Shasta County and the surrounding service area,

2. 3. The need for education on the connection between PFDs and safe boating practices Providing boating safety courses designed to create a generation of competent boaters is a crucial goal for Shasta County. There are no other providers of boating safety classes in the Redding area.

The Whiskeytown National Recreation Area does offer kayaking tours for visiting tourists; however, this program is only available for persons 12 years and older and is focused on sightseeing rather than understanding navigational rules, safety, and vessel operation. Partnerships have been developed with the Shasta County Office of Education and the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area to provide on-the-water training and transportation for youth to access these programs.

Redding Recreation also has chosen a curriculum that is wholly focused on addressing identified safety needs.

Objective 1 - Targeted Boating Safety Education Approach (Page 4)

3.b. How does the material covered in the course curriculums that you offer directly address these identified problems? Provide specific examples of material in your curriculum(s) that directly relate to the issues described in 3.a.

The American Red Cross Basic Water Rescue and Small Craft Safety Course were developed through a combined effort of the American Red Cross, the American Camping Association, and the Girl Scouts U.S.A. The purpose of the curriculum is to provide individuals with information and skills to prevent, recognize and respond to small craft emergencies, as well as give them basic boat handling skills. The program also prepared participants for safe outings on the water by teaching them how to protect themselves while assisting others. Lesson's that provide effective practice sessions provide time for clear direction, uninterrupted practice time, positive instructor reinforcement, focused corrective feedback, and encouragement ensures participant success. But learning the skills taught through our kayaking, SUP, and sailing courses, participants can become competent and confident boaters which are needed to address the high risk of boating-related injuries in Shasta County.

The Small Craft Safety Course is designed to be taught with a core lesson combined with one or more components based on what craft is being used (kayak, sailboat, SUP). The course can be taught with any number of components. The core lesson includes thirty-one safety topics, including float plans, accident prevention, lifejacket fitting, hazards, rules of the road, etc. The curriculum is very robust in its emphasis on lifejackets for instructors and participants, which is why it was chosen. While there is no room here to provide a list of all thirty-one lesson topics in this space allowed, the specific curriculum can be provided for review if desired.

12.b What are the limitations, if any, that these funding sources place upon your program spending? (i.e., parent organization will only fund staffing expenses, certain type of activities, or other expenses.) Redding Recreation is supported by the Community Services Advisory Commission. The Commission was established to make recommendations to the City Council and the Community Services Department regarding the establishment of priorities to maintain a systemized program of special interest activities available to residents and visitors of the City, and to consider issues about parks, recreation, and tourism. Commissioners are appointed by the City Council to four-year terms and are limited to serving two consecutive full terms.

Commissioners must be residents of the City, employed within the City, or own a business located in the City.

Course fees are then recommended by the Commission and approved by the City Council.

This mandate requires that the City of Redding-Recreation Division recovers only 90% of the direct program delivery costs (i.e., staff and supplies) for youth programs through class enrollment fees.

Additionally, the program budget for the operation of aquatics and boating safety programs is only a small part of the overall Recreation Division budget, approximately $350,000. The Redding Recreation budget also encompasses other program areas including youth sports, contract classes, adult fitness, preschool, childcare programs and the Martin Luther King Jr. Multi-Cultural Center.

13. Conducting Evaluation & Implementing Improvements

13.a List one important program improvement that was implemented in the last calendar year:

Redding Recreation is always striving to imrove our programs and the participants expirience in our programs. However, we have to be able to attract participants to our programs in the first place and make the sign up process easy and intuitive. We could have the best program in the world, with the best safety record but it won't matter if participants can't figure how to search or sign up for the program. One of the biggest quality-of-life improvements that we made in this last year was changing our registration software from TylerTech to CivicRec. We as recreation staff and our program participants were becoming increasingly frustrated with the fuctionality (or lack thereof) in out registration software and felt it was time to start fresh. After going through the RFP and competitive bid process we selected CivicRec as our new system. This change has had an enormous impact on how our department runs and how our community engages with our department. The system offers tools to program staff that assist with productivity so they can focus on conducting quality programs rather than fighting technology. These tools include:
• Modern Front desk point-of-sale solutions
• PCI compliant intigrated payment systems
• comprehensive financial reporting
• Marketing and Communication tools
• League and Roster managment tools
• Automatic Evaulation Surveys at the conclusion of a course • Mobile friendly registration
Recreation programs begin with the registration process. We are happy to have made this change for both ourselves and out user base. By improving the participant expirience we are making the whole program better.

Objective 3 - To fund organization that are efficient, and financially solvent. (Page 4-1)

13.b How did you assess the need for this improvement?
Quality Control Standards (Participant Exit survey, suggestion box, etc.) Internal Feedback (Employees identify a need)
Regulation/law change/industry best practices
Other (Identify)
Objective 3 - To fund organization that are efficient, and financially solvent. (Page 4-2) 13 c. What benefits have you noticed since implementing the improvement? Ideally a recreation management software should enable community members to browse an online catalog of programs, classes, and activities, decide which appeals to them, and complete Contract # C8968326, City of Redding, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 __________________________________________________________________________ Page: 19 of 74
Packet Pg. 116 Attachment: Grant Agreement C8968326 FY 2023-2024 (4.6(b)--Grant - Boating and Waterways) Exhibit A __________________________________________________________________________ their registration entirely online. With this online directory of activities, residents of your community should be able to easily sort through programs and view the ones they are eligible for. Additionally, a recreation management system should have integrated payment processing.

This ensures members complete their registration, start to finish, all online and without needing assistance.The previous system was cumbersome to navigate for both internal staff and external users which resulted in many potential participant becoming frustrated and increased our call volume and resulted in only 20% of our registrations coming from the online registration portal itself. There is no way of knowing how many potential registrants we lost because of how difficult the software was for users. Since moving to CivicRec, not only do we have access to tools that TylerTech could not provide (like advanced communication and intigrated marketing) now 85% of all registrations are being completed online by users. The feedback we have recieved is that the system is much more intuitive and mobile friendly which is essential since many participants are used to handing registration and purchases from their phones. We anticipate that in this next year we will increase our registration across the board by 30% or more just by making this switch.

Another improvement was with course evaluation. Each participant is sent a evaluation survey at the close of every class and now are recieving about a 60% completion rate where it had been only around 10% with traditional paper evaluations. This gives us timely feedback on our classes so we can make adjustments accordingly.

Objective 3 - To fund organization that are efficient, and financially solvent. (Page 4-4)

14. What methods do you use ensure that your programming stays current with new trends? One of the most exciting things about the profession of parks and recreation is how it is constantly changing, and there are opportunities to make programs better. As parks and recreation professionals, it is our duty to keep abreast of the latest trends and collaboratively with our users, citizens, and community organizations to build the best programs that keep participants engaged.

Redding Recreation employs a variety of methods to stay up to date with new trends, including the following:

Meeting and working collaboratively with other Aquatic Centers and boating safety organizations help expand the vision of our boating and safety programs to offer the public as well as develop strategies to better serve the public •
Reading industry publications such as the NPRA (National Parks and Recreation Association or CPRS (California Parks and Recreation Society) to understand new program ideas.
•
Reviewing yearly accident and injury data collected by DBW and the US Coast Guard Auxiliary to understand what boating safety concerns affect Shasta County waterways. •
Redding Recreation will continue to understand and respond to the changing characteristics of those it serves. In this fast-paced society, it is important to stay on top of current trends impacting boating safety programs.

In this section, you will identify what equipment your organization would like to purchase with the proposed grant money.

Instructions for Creating Equipment Worksheets
Each of the following items must be entered in separate worksheets. They should not be listed in a combined category such as one of the Supplies categories. Any boats, trailers, engines, modular docking, or storage sheds listed in a combined Supplies category will be disqualified. Additionally, do not create a category called Paddling Equipment and then list SUPs, Kayaks, etc. on a single worksheet. These requests will be disqualified.

Requests Requiring a Separate Worksheet
Boats
All requests for boats must each have a separate worksheet. All boats are subject to this rule including motorized boats, sailboats, and any type of paddle craft. o If, for example, you are requesting 8 sailboats, you will list them together on a single worksheet. If additionally, you are also requesting 10 kayaks, the kayaks must have their own worksheet. Combining the two requests on a single worksheet will result in a disqualification of both requests. o If you are requesting a kayak that includes seat backs and paddles as a set, those items can be combined with the kayak in the same line item. However, if you are just requesting several seat backs or paddles to replace worn ones already in your inventory, list those requests in the SuppliesReplacement/Refurbishment Items category.

Engines
o You may combine an engine with boat in a single worksheet if they will be used together as a set.

Otherwise, list all engine purchases on a separate worksheet. o If you are requesting multiple engines of the same type for a similar use, you may combine them into a single worksheet.

Trailers
You may combine a trailer with a boat if they will be used together as a set. Otherwise, trailers belong on a separate worksheet. Note: Trailer does not mean a dolly.

Modular Docking
o Non-permanent modular docking is allowable in this grant. Requests for docking must be on a separate worksheet. Do not combine them in a general request for supplies.

Storage Sheds
o Non-permanent storage sheds are allowed in this grant. Requests for storage sheds must be on a separate worksheet. Do not combine them in a general request for supplies.

Packet Pg. 119 Attachment: Grant Agreement C8968326 FY 2023-2024 (4.6(b)--Grant - Boating and Waterways) Exhibit A __________________________________________________________________________ Combined Supply Categories
You may combine smaller requests for supplies into a single worksheet if the justification and general use are similar. The following combined supply categories are available to use.

On the cost estimate worksheet, keep the combined items together as a single (e.g.: Supplies-Safety Items) Then, in the notes section, list each individual item and approximate amount and cost per type of item.

Supplies-Replacement/Refurbishment Items.

This category can contain supplies-replacement sails, rudders, masts, paddles, etc. that are being requested to replace worn out items. It should not include an entire boat, or requests to outfit anew boat. If, for example, you are requesting new sailboats and as part of that request, you would be purchasing items such as masts, rudder, sails, that go specifically with that boat or boat fleet purchase, you may combine them in the boat worksheet, as they will have similar use and justification.

Supplies-Safety Items.

This category is for items such as life jackets, flares, radios, first aid items, etc. This category is NOT for listing things like a Safety boat. That item belongs in its own category with its own justification.

Supplies-Miscellaneous Items -
These are supplies that do not fit into the other supply categories. The grouped items should have a similar justification.

If you are unsure whether to separate or group items, contact DBW staff to get clarity and avoid possible disqualification.

Instructions
Please respond to the following questions regarding this specific request.

2. Justification for use of: Supplies-Replacement/Refurbishment-Items 2 a. How will this particular request improve your boating safety education program? Sail boats require a lot of maintenance to ensure they are safe for participant use and due to the passage of time and wear and tear, replacement parts are needed to keep them all in working order. A yearly maintenance schedule ensure that the boats are given the love that they need to be ready for a busy new season. The vessels are assessed for: structural integrity, interior deficiencies, leaks, paint and surface quality, the condition of sails and rigging. Once the Redding yacht Club maintenance team has thoroughly Contract # C8968326, City of Redding, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 __________________________________________________________________________ Page: 23 of 74

The boats with he most need are the Hobiecats, the Catalinas, and the Sunfish. Parts that are usually needed are standard rigging, control lines, shrouds. cleats and materials needed for hull repairs and sealing the vessels. The money needed to keep the fleet in repair is less than the cost of replacing a boat.
2 b. What are the detriments to not receiving it?
The money needed to keep the fleet in repair is less than the cost of replacing even one boat. With continued care we anticipate several more years of use. Without refurbishment funds boats would be out of use and not serving youth as they are now.
2 c. Discuss why this particular type or model works best for your program.

2. Justification for use of: Sails
2 a. How will this particular request improve your boating safety education program? it goes without saying that sails are essential for a sailing program, as such the City of Redding is requesting funds to replace sails that have become worn during or after program use. According to the U.S.

Coast Guard, "the service life of sail rigging varies according to each vessel's design characteristics, and may depend on multiple variables." Factors like how often the boat is used and the age of the youth using it, environmental conditions, materials and quality determine how often soft items need to be replaced. Its common to replace a sail or two each season.

3. What methods do you use to establish either the financial or safety need for scholarship requests? Financial: List the methods that you use to determine needs for awarding scholarships. Financial examples might include using the free lunch program, Title One schools, income tax verification, etc.

Safety Need: If you are awarding scholarships based on safety, explain why lowering the cost of a particular course or courses at your center benefits boating safety education. Is a particular type of boating causing accidents, etc. Use supporting documentation, such as accident statistics or other safety information to further establish need.

Shasta County has one of the highest rates of children living in poverty in California, with 1 in 4 children below the poverty line, and as a result, our organization has seen an increase in the number of individuals seeking assistance. Redding Recreation is an approved childcare provider for families that are eligible to receive childcare assistance from Shasta County Social Services through the Alternative Payment Program. Based on our numbers from the 2023 Summer Adventures Day Camp Program, 68% of the children enrolled received fee assistance based upon income level or enrollment in government assistance programs through the Shasta County Office of Education such as cash aid, School to Work Program, free or reduced lunch program and Cal-Works. This assistance is capped at a specific dollar amount, and requiring families to pay an additional $30 to $125 to participate in our boating safety programs would present financial hardship and would mean that not all day camp or field trip participants could participate in this safety education opportunity.

Analysis of our participants shows that the majority of the children in our program have their first boating experience within the Summer Adventure Day Camp program, which guarantees that we can reach youth and model safe boating behavior while teaching them strong skills California Division of Boating and Waterways funded scholarships to are used to fund groups within existing programs so that all the children enrolled in the Summer Adventures Day Camp program can access kayak safety courses. We know that the children are in off assistance since they qualify for the Alternative Payment Program (APP), a federal and state-funded program for families that meet eligibility guidelines. For income, eligibility total countable income must be at or below 70% of the state median income based on family size. To determine eligibility, APP requires one current full month of original pay stubs and proof of other countable income at the time of initial enrollment, recertification of
benefits, or update.

The Redding Recreation Fee Assistance program is another tool used to determine need and is used to collect basic information about the individual requesting scholarship funds. Applicants must be youths, 17 years of age or younger, and be a Redding resident. Fee assistance may be used for youth programs only. The request form includes participant contact information and household information such as the number of individuals living in the home and the estimated gross annual income and head of household information.

Scholarships that are applied to all participants also allow for bus transportation for whole groups through the prenegotiated contract we have in place through the Redding School District.

The boating safety courses offered by Redding Recreation uses several learning assessment tools for measuring student accomplishment of learning objectives. These assessments are summative and help the educator determine what students know, can do or understand after completing each activity. Each course includes a Warm Up to identify and document student's baseline knowledge and a Wrap Up which brings closure to the course and post-learning assessment worksheets for the educator. During the lesson, a set of assessment strategies are employed such as:
• Observation- Educators note how students perform the activity. • Communication- Educators appraise students' expressions of what they know through speaking, writing or drawing.
• Skill Demonstration- Educators observe students demonstrate a particular skill
• Self & Peer Evaluation-Complimenting, the educator assessment with students' judgment of their own accomplishments

Who is the target audience and how is boating safety improved by educating them? If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety? The goal of the Introduction to Kayak Safety program is to provide the clearest and thorough instruction on the essential skills of kayaking so that students can benefit from these skills to keep themselves safe in, on and around the water. The curriculum is from the American Red Cross Small Craft Safety program and utilizes the Kayak and Basic Water Rescue modules in the course. This program was created by the Red Cross with the American Canoe Association and the Girl Scouts of America. Skills are first learned at the Redding Aquatic Center in the 50m pool. Practicing skills in clear and lifeguarded water helps students build confidence. On-the-water training occurs at Whiskeytown Lake at the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. Kayaking is one of the most popular boating activities in the United States. This program is designed specifically for beginning kayakers and gives clear instruction on the basics of kayaking, how to choose, trip planning, rules of the road, outfitting a boat and learning the essential strokes, braces and self-rescue techniques to be competent in the water.

A lack of understanding, skill, or judgment can combine with environmental factors such as cold water, river currents, or offshore wind to put a person in jeopardy. The skills involved fall into two categories, basic boat handling skills to move the craft and Self-rescue techniques. Basic boat handling skills are the foundation of the class along with injury prevention since accidents can arise from all human-powered craft.

Who is the target audience and how is boating safety improved by educating them? If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety? Redding Recreation has operated a recreational Stand-Up Paddle program for that last 9 years.

Stand Up Paddling is one of the fastest growing paddlesports and shows no signs of stopping since the U.S. Coast Guard officially classified SUP boards as vessels in 2008. The ACA 2014 Special Report on Paddlesports recorded that in 2014, 2.8 million Americans, almost 1% of the population, tried SUP and that these participants averaged five annual outings a year. Also, participation has been increasing among all age groups. Stand-Up
Paddle rentals are very popular at Whiskeytown and Shasta Lakes. However, these rental companies provide no safety information or direction for those using the equipment and rarely require lifejackets for those using their equipment.

Understanding that youth are likely to encounter a SUP (even more likely than using a kayak) Redding Recreation crafted a program with assistance from the Sacramento Stake Aquatic Center and combined it with the boating safety fundamentals found in the American Red Cross Small Craft Safety Program that would address the needs for better safety education, the SUP Clinic program.

The goals of the program are:

1. Provide youth with on-the-water safety skills training;

2. Provide youth basic paddling and SUP handling skills;

3. Provide youth with the skills to prevent, recognize and respond to small craft emergencies;

4. Prepare youth for aquatic excursions and how to stay safe on the water; The benefits of the course include support for young Stand-Up paddlers and modeling safe behaviors to
increase the number of educated paddlers in our community and that they will be able to share the skills and
information they learn with their friends and family when out on the water. Skills are first learned at the Redding
Aquatic Center in the 50m pool. Practicing skills in clear and guarded water helps students build confidence.

On-the-water training occurs at Whiskeytown at the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area.

Who is the target audience and how is boating safety improved by educating them? If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety? Basic Small Boat Sailing is a youth sailing program taught at Whiskeytown Lake, a reservoir 8 miles west of Redding. Sailing on Whiskeytown is best between April and October.One of the beauties of Whiskeytown Lake is a lake full to the max, all summer long, drought or no drought. The main body of the lake is prime sailing area and has consistent wind. The program was created in 2012 through a partnership between the Redding Yacht Club and Redding Recreation. The Redding Yacht Club is a non-profit volunteer-based organization that utilizes docks, dry storage and classroom space that is supplied to the club by the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area to offer basic sailing classes at Brandy Creek Marina.The program takes place over four consecutive days and students are taught to be independent on the water. A core lesson of thirty-one safety topics are covered in the course as well as hands on skills and self-rescue skills.

This course is offered with the purpose of providing youth with the information and skills necessary to prevent, recognize and respond to small craft emergencies and prepare individuals for aquatic excursions by teaching them to understand the basics of sailing and keep themselves safe on the water.

Bid/Proposal Attachment regarding the Darfur Contracting Act of 2008 Effective January 1, 2009, all Invitations for Bids (IFB) or Requests for Proposals (RFP) for goods or services must address the requirements of the Darfur Contracting Act of 2008 (Act). (Public Contract Code sections 10475, et seq.; Stats. 2008, Ch. 272). The Act was passed by the California Legislature and signed into law by the Governor to preclude State agencies generally from contracting with “scrutinized” companies that do business in the African nation of Sudan (of which the Darfur region is a part), for the reasons described in Public Contract Code section 10475.

A scrutinized company is a company doing business in Sudan as defined in Public Contract Code section 10476. Scrutinized companies are ineligible to, and cannot, bid on or submit a proposal for a contract with a State agency for goods or services. (Public Contract Code section 10477(a)).

Therefore, Public Contract Code section 10478 (a) requires a company that currently has (or within the previous three years has had) business activities or other operations outside of the United States to certify that it is not a “scrutinized” company when it submits a bid or proposal to a State agency. (See # 1 on the sample Attachment).

A scrutinized company may still, however, submit a bid or proposal for a contract with a State agency for goods or services if the company first obtains permission from the Department of General Services (DGS) according to the criteria set forth in Public Contract Code section 10477(b). (See # 2 on the sample Attachment).

The following sample Attachment may be included in an IFB or RFP to satisfy the Act’s certification requirements of bidders and proposers.

Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 10478, if a bidder or proposer currently or within the previous three years has had business activities or other operations outside of the United States, it must certify that it is not a “scrutinized” company as defined in Public Contract Code section 10476.

Therefore, to be eligible to submit a bid or proposal, please complete only one of the following three paragraphs (via initials for Paragraph # 1 or Paragraph # 2, or via initials and certification for Paragraph # 3):

1. _____ We do not currently have, or we have not had within the previous three years, business activities or other operations outside of the United States.

OR

2. _____ We are a scrutinized company as defined in Public Contract Code section 10476, but we have received written permission from the Department of General Services (DGS) to submit a bid or proposal pursuant to Public Contract Code section 10477(b). A copy of the written permission from DGS is included with our bid or proposal.

OR

3. _____ We currently have, or we have had within the previous three years, business activities or other operations outside of the United States, but we certify below that we are not a scrutinized company as defined in Public Contract Code section 10476.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Authorize the City of Redding Fire Department to overhire two firefighters for the upcoming April 2024 Fire Academy to fill anticipated openings due to retirement and industrial injury that would otherwise require staff overtime; and (2) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 39th Amendment to the City Budget Resolution No. 2023-060 appropriating $0 to the Redding Fire Department for the additional two full-time Firefighters for Fiscal Year 2023-24 and one additional full-time Firefighter for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

Fiscal Impact
The Redding Fire Department’s (RFD) temporary overhire of two firefighters will have a net neutral effect on the budget. Over the calendar year, these two positions will be absorbed as personnel retire. The reduction in overtime will balance out the cost of the two personnel.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to allow staff to overhire. Current staff, utilizing overtime, would cover the open positions due to an industrial injury and anticipated retirements until the end of the 2024 fire season. At that point, RFD will resume hiring.

Background/Analysis
RFD has one firefighter on long term injury leave and one who is anticipated to retire before the end of Calendar Year 2024. There is one additional member who is anticipated to retire in July 2024. Hiring two additional firefighters for the April academy will alleviate overtime due to these two vacancies through the end of CY 2024.

Re: 4.8(a)--Overhire Two Firefighters Page 2
RFD staffing is configured so that any time-off taken by a firefighter, requires overtime backfill in order to maintain staffing levels. Each newly hired firefighter attends a four to six-week (depending on number of recruits) fire academy prior to being assigned to an engine/truck; it is not possible to hold a fire academy during fire season due to high heat, increased daily staffing levels, and deployments. The fire academy is scheduled to begin in April and end in June prior to the 2024 fire season. The next opportunity to hire for vacancies will be in the fall of 2024.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the City of Redding Fire Department to apply for a Federal Emergency Management Agency 2023 Fire Prevention and Safety grant in the amount of $100,000, with a five percent “in-kind” match requirement, for the completion of risk assessment/reduction and strategic planning documents.

Fiscal Impact
The Redding Fire Department (RFD) is requesting $100,000 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 2023 Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S) Grant Program in the amount of $100,000, with a five percent “in-kind” match requirement. The required in-kind match will be covered by staff time. If awarded, staff will return to the City Council (Council) for grant acceptance and appropriation of the $100,000.

Alternative Action
The Council could choose not to authorize the Fire Department to apply for grant funding and RFD staff would look for other resources to complete the risk assessment and strategic plan.

Background/Analysis
The FP&S Grants support projects that enhance the public's and firefighters' safety from fire and related hazards. The primary goal is to reduce injury and prevent death among high-risk populations. RFD will request grant funding to cover the cost of a Community Risk Assessment/Standards of Cover, and a Community-Centered Strategic Plan.

Report to Redding City Council March 28, 2024
Re: 4.8(b)--Authorize Application for FP&S Grant Page 2 The Community Risk Assessment/Standards of Cover - is a systematic process of identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing risks and hazards within the department's jurisdiction. The primary goal of the risk assessment section is to assess the potential threats and vulnerabilities present in the community that could impact public safety, property, and the environment.

The Standards of Cover section is a comprehensive document that outlines the level of service and response capabilities that a fire department aims to provide to its community. It serves as a strategic tool for assessing current operational capabilities, identifying service gaps, and establishing performance benchmarks to ensure adequate emergency response and public safety within the department's jurisdiction.

The Community-Centered Strategic Plan is a document that outlines the department's goals, objectives, and strategies for engaging with and serving the community effectively. Unlike a traditional strategic plan, which may focus primarily on internal operations and organizational goals, a community-centered strategic plan strongly emphasizes understanding and addressing the needs, priorities, and aspirations of the community it serves.

It is anticipated that both documents and processes can be done in parallel resulting in completion within the 12-month period of performance required by the grant.

If RFD is awarded the grant, it would come back to Council to request acceptance prior to beginning any work.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following relative to the purchase of a vacuum excavator for maintenance of the City of Redding Storm Drain system:
(1) Authorize the purchase of a vacuum excavator using Sourcewell contract pricing, with a net delivered cost of $542,797.45, including all applicable taxes and fees; and (2) Authorize the City Manager to approve future pricing adjustments, terms, and policy changes as needed up to an additional $10,000.00 for the purchase of the vacuum excavator.

Fiscal Impact
Sufficient funds are available in the Storm Drain and Solid Waste Utility rolling stock accounts for the proposed purchase totaling $542,797.45. This is a planned rolling stock replacement.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to authorize the purchase of a vacuum excavator for the maintenance of the City of Redding (City) Storm Drain Distribution system, however without the purchase, the Storm Drain Utility would have difficulty in satisfying the requirements of the Trash Amendments for the City’s municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4).

Background/Analysis
The Storm Drain Utility maintains approximately 200 miles of storm drain pipes and associated catch basins, area drains, manholes and outfalls. The nature of the maintenance includes cleaning of trash and debris from structures, and jetting and root cleaning of pipes to prevent flooding within City limits. The Storm Drain Utility and Solid Waste Utility are partnering in this equipment purchase to remove trash from the storm drain system as required by the municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4) Trash Amendments (Amendments) compliance.

Report to Redding City Council March 25, 2024
Re: 4.11(a)--Purchase of Vacuum Excavator Page 2
In response to the growing challenges with trash levels in creeks, rivers, lakes, and shorelines, the California State Water Board adopted the Amendments in 2015. This action amended two statewide water quality control plans to include trash control requirements for owners or operators of MS4. Consistent with the Amendments, the City was required to reduce the amount of trash discharged from its MS4, beginning in 2020. The City must demonstrate 100 percent capture, or equivalent, of all trash five millimeters in size or greater by December 2, 2030.

Interim trash reduction milestones and milestone dates will be implemented through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Phase II Small MS4 General Permit (MS4 Permit) that will be issued to the City and other public agencies in California, or directed through other regulatory orders.

Vacuum excavators are also used for safe excavation around conflicting utilities, potholing utilities and to maintain a safe working area while repairs are made to the Storm Drain system.

The Storm Drain Utility currently operates a 2008 vacuum excavator that is scheduled for replacement due to its age, California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliance, limited serviceability, and high maintenance costs.

The vacuum excavator is manufactured by Sewer Equipment Co. of America and is distributed by U-Rock Utility Equipment Inc. as the sole source vendor for the western United States under a Sourcewell competitive bid contract. Currently the Storm Drain, Water, Wastewater and Electric Utilities all utilize vacuum excavators. 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 vacuum excavator saves significant staff time needed to prepare bid specifications and solicit individual quotations from vendors. The City also receives a significant price discount due to economies of scale realized through the volume of purchases on a multi-agency cooperative contract. The City is receiving a discount on the chassis and the total price of the vacuum excavator through this contract.

Environmental Review
This action, the purchase of equipment, is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act. No further action is required.
