City's average cost per gross acre of preparing the
Specific Plan and the MEIR and completing any
City-initiated annexation of the property. The final

initiated annexation precedes a City-sponsored
annexation (if any), the fee will be determined
based on the average cost per acre, as describe
above, without the annexation costs; b = The
projected annual inflation rate. The average
annual inflation rate used for this calculation will be based on the average inflation rate for the previous
5 years as measured by the consumer price index.

The rate will be revised each year at the time of
the required annual report on the Specific Plan; n
= Number of years since the year of Specific Plan
adoption; U = Contribution towards cost of

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following relative to the South Street Water Main at Railroad Emergency Replacement Project (Project):
(1) Accept update regarding the Project; and
(2) Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22050(c)(1), make a determination by a fourfifths vote that there is a need to continue the emergency work.

Fiscal Impact
The South Street Water Main at Railroad Emergency Replacement Project (Project) will be funded by the City of Redding’s Water Utility. The current total project cost is $1,380,000. The Water Utility Division’s Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget has sufficient funds appropriated to complete the project.

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

Background/Analysis
On February 4, 2025, Council adopted an emergency resolution for the project and authorized the negotiation of emergency contracts. The project proposes to replace and relocate the failed section of 12-inch, cast-iron water main and corrugated steel pipe casing in South Street that is beneath the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks by jack and boring a new steel pipe casing and installing a 16-inch, ductile iron pipe. Work also includes water main tie-in fittings, isolation valves, asphalt concrete pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk and other miscellaneous items.

Report to Redding City Council May 13, 2025
Re: 4.11(a)--Update for Emergency Repair to South Street Water Main ER Project Page 2 Staff has contracted with RTA Construction, Inc. (RTA) for the construction of the project based on their technical knowledge of utility construction and previous performance on projects of similar size and scope. Construction activities started on April 8, 2025, and are expected to be completed by June 20, 2025.

RTA has positively located UPRR’s existing underground utility along the eastern side of the railroad tracks; however, RTA was not able to positively locate UPRR’s existing underground utility along the western side of the railroad tracks. City staff are communicating with UPRR staff to coordinate additional utility location activities. Staff anticipates completion of the utility location activities including required railroad flagging by mid-May, 2025. Once utility location activities have been successfully completed, RTA will commence installation of the new steel pipe casing and proceed with installation of the ductile iron pipe and other miscellaneous associated items of work.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and no further action is required. On February 4, 2025, the Council determined that the project is statutorily exempt from environmental review under the CEQA Guidelines, per Section 15269(b)-Emergency Projects.

Re: 9.11(g)--Declare Emergency for the South Street Water Main ER Project Page 2 Project cost components are estimates and some shifting of the project development, construction management, and construction contingency funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to authorize the award of an emergency contract, and instead have staff prepare plans and specifications to award a contract to the low bidder in accordance with state and local contracting procedures. This would result in the broken water main remaining out of service through the summer of 2025 and during peak water demands which could significantly reduce reliability of the water system for City customers and fire flows in the area. Or, the Council could provide alterative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
On December 9, 2024, a 12-inch, cast-iron, water main in South Street broke beneath the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks. The corrugated steel casing under the UPRR tracks that surrounds the water main also broke, resulting in erosion and voids beneath the railroad tracks.

City crews quickly made temporary repairs to close water valves and isolate the broken section of water main. They also backfilled voids in the soil caused by the break and coordinated with UPRR for repair of the railroad tracks in the area. The railroad tracks were quickly restored to normal operation, but because the pipeline break was beneath the tracks and the steel casing failed, City crews were unable to repair the water main and this segment of piping remains out of service.

Since both the water main and the casing failed beneath the railroad tracks, simply pulling a new pipe through the existing casing is not feasible. To adequately repair this main, staff intends to design for a jack and bore installation of a new steel casing and ductile iron water main, sized to convey peak flows in accordance with the City’s design standards, across the UPRR right-of-way for connection to the existing main piping on both sides.

Computer modeling of the City’s water system indicates that there should not be issues with the South Street water main remaining out of service through the winter and early spring, when water demands are relatively low. However, during the summer months and peak water demands, this main conveys significant flows eastward and its outage would have substantial impacts. If it remains out of service through the summer then peak flows would need to be conveyed through alternate routes and water mains, which will increase flow velocities, stress, and potential for surges and damage to other aging water mains in the downtown area.

If the South Street main remains out of service through the summer months, then there are several areas where increased flow velocities and potential for further pipeline damage are a concern. One, in particular, is another 12-inch water main crossing the UPRR tracks along Shasta Street, approximately one-half-mile north of the South Street water main break. The Shasta Street water main was installed in 1958 and is a cast iron pipe, similar to the South Street main that broke. The City has plans to replace the Shasta Street main with a separate capital improvement project in the near future because of concerns with its reliability. Recently, on June 19, 2024, it also had a break, just three blocks west of its railroad crossing. With the South Street water main out of service, flows through the Shasta Street main would increase to velocities above the maximum allowed by many agencies and recommended maximum in the City’s Water Master Plan. The increased flow velocities would lead to additional stress and potential for surges in the Shasta Street main that will increase the risk of additional failures.

Re: 9.11(g)--Declare Emergency for the South Street Water Main ER Project Page 3 The South Street water main provides critical redundancy for the Shasta Street main and other water mains in the area. While the South Street main remains out of service, this critical redundancy is not available. The lack of redundancy, combined with the increased velocities and stress to other aging mains where there are already concerns of reliability, including in Shasta Street, put the City at a much higher risk for additional water main failures that would have major impacts on the water system.

To provide necessary redundancy in the water system and mitigate the risks of additional pipeline breaks, disruptions in service, potential damage to infrastructure and property, and a loss of available storage and fire flow, staff recommends that the South Street Main be repaired as soon as possible and before the high water demands in the summer of 2025. Staff has considered proceeding with typical design and bid process for a capital improvement project; however, this process would likely require a minimum of seven months in order to prepare the bid package, obtain UPRR permits, advertise for bids, and award a contract for construction. At that point, the contractor would still need to order and procure materials, which would result in the construction work not starting until late 2025. This timeline is substandard and the repairs would not be completed prior to the high impact and risk period during the summer.

The broken water main presents potential impacts to public health, property and safety.

Therefore, staff proposes an emergency contract to repair and replace the broken water main in South Street beneath the UPRR crossing. If approved, staff estimates the construction will be complete in May 2025, before the high water demands in the summer and greatest risks occur.

It is noted that the Public Contract Code (PCC) (Section 20168) provides that the local government’s legislative body may pass a resolution by a four-fifths vote of its members declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health and property. Further, the PCC (Section 22050) provides that “in case of emergency, a public agency, pursuant to a four-fifths vote of its governing body, may repair or replace a public facility, take any directly related and immediate action required by that emergency, and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes without giving notice for bids to let contracts.”
It is in the public’s interest and necessity to repair the broken water main in South Street to ensure reliability of the water system, protection of property and the public’s health and safety.

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

Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15269(b) – Emergency Projects. Section 15269(b) includes emergency repairs to publicly and privately-owned service facilities necessary to maintain service essential to the public health, safety, or welfare. The emergency repair and replacement will occur in areas of previous disturbance, and the repairs are necessary to maintain service essential to public health.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution accepting the City of Redding’s List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2025-26 funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

Fiscal Impact
The estimated Fiscal Year 2025-26 Road Maintenance and Repair Account (RMRA) funding allocation to the City of Redding (City) is $2,459,594. There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to adopt the attached resolution. The City would not be eligible to receive Senate Bill (SB) 1 funding in the amount of $2,459,594.

Background/Analysis
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed SB 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the state highway and local streets and road systems. SB 1 increases per-gallon fuel excise taxes; increases diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees; and provides for inflationary adjustments to gas tax rates in future years. RMRA funds are apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties. The City’s portion of RMRA funds for Fiscal Year 2025-26 is estimated to be $2,459,594.

SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California’s transportation programs. Therefore, in order to be eligible for RMRA funding, cities must submit a project list. The attached project list may be funded with RMRA funds depending on the availability of other funding sources within the Streets Division. The RMRA legislation MEETING DATE: May 20, 2025

Re: 4.11(b)--Resolution Accepting List of Projects Funded by SB1 Page 2 recognizes the need for, and provides agencies with, the flexibility to fund projects in accordance with local needs and priorities. As such, the project list is simply a proposal of potential projects that may utilize these funds. Agencies are required, however, to submit expenditure reports by December 1, of each year that detail each project and corresponding amount of RMRA funds utilized to ensure program accountability.

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

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

Having an adopted LRSP is necessary to qualify for state and federal roadway safety funding programs, such as the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and SS4A. The updated LRSP is critical to apply for infrastructure funding in the next grant cycle. Staff intends to apply for a grant using these programs to fund the Victor/Churn Creek/Rancho intersection and corridor improvements currently in design. This contract would update the LRSP, develop multiple safety projects and aid in developing grant applications to implement these projects.

Background/Analysis

Staff intends to apply for a grant using these programs to fund the Victor/Churn Creek/Rancho intersection and corridor improvements currently in design. This contract would update the LRSP, develop multiple safety projects, and aid in developing grant applications to implement these projects.

Many of the elements and small projects included in the current LRSP have previously been implemented or completed. The City desires to amend the current LSRP to address larger road improvement projects, incorporate more aggressive safety strategies and goals, and take a more regional approach including incorporation of projects that include state facilities. The updated LRSP will incorporate SS4A goals and, incorporate new grant ready design of projects to assist staff in applying for future infrastructure grants to construct projects that increase safety and provide access to all user groups.

Consultant Selection Process
In August 2024, a formal Request for Proposals (No. 5512), outlining the specific scope of work, was advertised in the local newspaper as well as the City’s website. Proposals were required to include a scope of work and proposed fee. The City directly solicited six firms known to engage in this type of service. On September 27, 2024, proposals and fee schedules were received and reviewed from three firms. A review and selection panel were formed consisting of members from the Public Works Department. Based upon proposal review and experience, the panel ranked the firms as follows:

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Approve and ratify the City Manager’s signature accepting grant funding in the amount of $4,091,013 from CalRecycle to replace and upgrade the existing Solid Waste Utility’s Material Recovery Facility sort line; and
(2) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 78th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2023-060 appropriating $4,091,020 in state grant funds for the project.

Fiscal Impact
The City of Redding’s (City) Solid Waste Utility’s Material Recover Facility (MRF) sort line project’s total cost is estimated to be $4,500,000 and will be funded by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) Beverage Container Quality Infrastructure Grant Program funding and the Solid Waste Utility fund. The CalRecycle grant will provide $4,091,013 towards the project while Solid Waste Utility will provide the balance.

Note, the Solid Waste Utility has previously budgeted $3,200,000 towards this project. Any funds budgeted, but not used, for this project by the Solid Waste Utility will return to the Solid Waste Utility Account.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may decline to accept this grant funding. By doing so, this project would need to be fully funded by the Solid Waste Utility, as CalRecycle would allocate these grant funds to another agency.

MEETING DATE: May 20, 2025
ITEM NO. 4.11(d)
FROM:
***APPROVED BY***
[email protected] [email protected]
SUBJECT: 4.11(d)--Accept CalRecycle Grant Funding
Michael Webb, Public Works
Director
Packet Pg. 341
Report to Redding City Council May 13, 2025
Re: 4.11(d) Accept CalRecycle grant Funding Page 2
Background/Analysis
The current MRF sort line was originally completed in 2002. The age and condition of the current equipment contributes to sort line downtime, due to the amount of maintenance and repairs needed. When operating properly, the current sort line can process three tons of recyclable material per hour. The amount of recyclable material collected currently exceeds the sorting capacity of the equipment, ultimately resulting in the Solid Waste Utility sending 910 tons of excess recyclable material (based on a four-year average) to another facility at a cost of $95 per ton not including staff time and equipment rates to transfer the material.

The upgraded sort line is expected to be able to process 10 tons of recyclable material per hour.

This upgraded capacity will allow all of the current recyclable material to be sorted, while also providing the capacity for future expected growth in the City’s recycling material collection.

Being able to process all incoming recyclable material will both decrease our expenses by significantly reducing the need to haul material to another facility, and increase our revenue by sorting additional recycling material.

On December 3, 2024, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-102 authorizing the submission of applications for all CalRecycle grants for which the City is eligible through December 3, 2029. The Resolution also authorized the City Manager, or designee, to execute in the name of the City all grant documents, applications, agreements, amendments, and requests for payment, necessary to secure grant funds and implement the approved grant project.

On April 28, 2025, CalRecycle notified the City that the grant request was approved for $4,091,013. The Grant agreement acceptance was required to be returned to CalRecycle by May 12, 2025. Due to the short turn around time the City Manager needed to sign the grant agreement and then have the signature ratified by Council.

Environmental Review
Funding acceptance is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required at this time. The future RMF sort line improvements will be reviewed for CEQA compliance and staff will return to Council for approval at contract award.

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

SUBJECT: 4. 11( e) Adopt Resolution Authorizing Submission of Applications for all California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery ( CalRecycle) Grants for Five Years
Recommendation
Approve and adopt the following:
1) Adopt Resolution authorizing the submission of all California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery grant application( s) for which the City of Redding is eligible for a five- year period from December 3, 2024 through December 3, 2029. This authorization includes applying for the Beverage Container Quality Infrastructure Grant program in the amount of $4, 091, 013 to upgrade and replace various sorting equipment in the City of Redding' s Material Recovery Facility on Abernathy Lane; and 2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all grant documents necessary to complete the application process.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact in approving the resolution. If the City of Redding ( City) submits a successful application for the Beverage Container Quality Infrastructure Grant ( BCQIG) Program it would receive a $ 4, 091, 013 allocation from California Department of Resources Recyeling and Recovery ( CalRecycle) with no required matching funds. This resolution allows the submission of subsequent grant applications through December 3, 2029.

Alternative Action
The City Council ( Council) could decline to authorize the resolution for grants to CalRecycle which would result in the City not applying or receiving any funding through the BCQIG Program. Further, a grant specific Council resolution would be required for each CalRecycle grant opportunity going forward.

Re: 4. 12( e) Authorize CalRecycle Resolution Page 2
Background/Analysis
Each year, CalRecycle presents several opportunities to apply for grants. CalRecycle has developed a process for jurisdictions to streamline the submittals of grant applications whereby the governing body of the jurisdiction may pass a multi-year grant application resolution. The City previously adopted a multi- year Resolution, No. 2016- 107, on December 14, 2016, and No. 2022- 001, on January 18, 2022. The prior resolution expires during the grant term of the BCQIG Program, requiring a new resolution to be approved in order to complete the application process.

Pursuant to the City' s Grant Administration Policy Directives and Procedures Manual ( Grant Administration Policy), all grant applications over $ 50, 000 require Council approval. If the grant is awarded and the sum is over $ 25, 000, staff wi11 obtain Council approval. All CalRecycle grant applications and awards will comply with the City' s Grant Administration Policy. During the proposed five- year grant resolution term, a new resolution for applications will not be necessary.

The Public Works Department plans to submit and apply for funding through the CalRecycle BCQIG Program. This is a competitive grant program that will provide one-time funding to assist with infrastructure costs in improving the quality of material sorting to create cleaner streams of recycled beverage containers substantially free from contaminates.

The City is requesting funding to support replacing and upgrading equipment on the material recovery sorting line, including adding robotic arms and AI software to help sort material.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions relative to Request for Proposals (RFP) - Schedule No. 5518, Construction Management and Inspection Services for the Old Oregon Trail Shoulder Widening Project (Project):
(1) Award RFP to TRC Companies;
(2) Authorize the Mayor to execute a Consulting and Professional Services Contract for a not-to-exceed fee of $346,440.93 with TRC Companies to provide Construction Management and Inspection Services for the Old Oregon Trail Shoulder Widening Project; and
(3) Authorize the City Manager to approve Contract amendments not-to-exceed $50,000.

Fiscal Impact
Funding for the Old Oregon Trail Shoulder Widening Project is by a combination of 51 percent Federal Safety Program funds (HSIP) and 49 percent City of Redding’s (City) Street Department funds.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to award this contract, in which case, staff would be required to manage construction management and inspection. This would require either consultant services to be solicited for other capital work or a reduction in the City’s Capital Program delivery.

Report to Redding City Council May 13, 2025
Re: 4.11(e)--Award RFP No. 5518 CM Services OOT Shoulder Widening Page 2 Background/Analysis
The project is approximately 1.1 miles in length and includes adding 6-foot paved shoulders/bike lanes from Paso Robles Avenue to Bear Mountain Road. Portions of the project will include full reconstruction, new construction, partial reconstruction, cold milling and paving. Construction activities are anticipated to commence in mid-May, and given the current volume of capital projects currently and anticipated to be active this construction season, consultant services for contract administration of this project are needed.

CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCESS
In August 2024, a formal Request for Proposals (No. 5518), outlining the specific scope of work, was advertised. Proposals were required to include a scope of work and proposed fee. Proposals and fee schedules were received on September 20, 2024, from two firms. A review and selection panel were formed with members from the Public Works Department. Based upon proposal review and experience, the panel ranked the firms as follows:

FIRM RANK
TRC Companies
Ghirardelli Associates
1 2
Proposals were evaluated based on their understanding of the scope of work, ability to meet the proposed schedule and maintain the project budget, experience and qualifications of the proposed staff, ability to work with City staff, project approach, familiarity with state and City of Redding procedures, and geographic location of the team. Applying the criteria to the proposals, the selection panel determined that TRC Companies was the best qualified firm to provide the required services for this project.

Following the evaluation and ranking, TRC Companies proposed fees were opened, evaluated, and negotiated to include reasonable costs based on the scope of services as well as previous similar projects cost comparisons.

The consultant fee is estimated and the contract will be for actual work performed. However, staff recommends the approval of an additional $50,000 in contingency reserve. Contingency funds may be necessary due to unforeseen project issues. If this reserve needs to be utilized, a contract amendment would be negotiated with the consultant and the contract would be modified with approval of the City Manager. A professional services agreement with TRC Companies has been approved as to form by the City Attorney’s office and is attached.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On February 15, 2022, the Council adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program, and approved the Old Oregon Trail Safety Improvement Project thereby satisfying the requirements of the CEQA Guidelines §15074. No further action is required.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to the Old Oregon Trail Safety Improvement Project:
(1) Adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program; (2) Approve Old Oregon Trail Safety Improvement Project as described, thereby satisfying the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines §15074); and
(3) Direct staff to file a Notice of Determination with the Shasta County Clerk’s Office and the State Clearinghouse.

Fiscal Impact
Approval of the project along with adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and the Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) allows the project to move forward to the final design and construction phases. There is no fiscal impact as a direct result of adopting the MND, MMP, and approving the project.

The Old Oregon Trail Safety Improvement Project is estimated to cost $3,200,000. The project is grant funded through the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) (90 percent) and the Streets Division (10 percent).

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose to not adopt the MND and the MMP, and not approve the project as described. Without approval, the project would not proceed as a City of Redding (City) project, as it would not be in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act.

Re: 4.11(e)--Old Oregon Trail Safety Improvement Project Page 2 Background/Analysis
The project area lies in northeast Redding along Old Oregon Trail. Construction will begin approximately 100-feet west of Paso Robles Avenue and extend east to Bear Mountain Road.

The purpose of the project is to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. The project is needed as this section of roadway has little to no roadway shoulder, and non-motorized access is limited. This section of roadway also has an accident rate that is higher than the statewide average for similar roadways. The project includes earthwork, vegetation removal, drainage modification, utility relocation, fencing and guardrail installation, paving, striping, sign installation, and right of way (ROW) acquisition.

The existing road alignment would be widened to create one standard 12-foot wide lane in each direction with 6-foot wide paved shoulders. A section of roadway would also be realigned to improve a compound curve. Tree removal would be necessary to allow for road widening, and existing culverts beneath the road would be replaced, extended, or abandoned in place as needed.

Utility poles, fire hydrants, and waterlines would be relocated if they conflict with the new roadway improvements. New guardrail would be installed where needed for public safety. Most work would occur within the existing ROW, but some permanent ROW would be needed from adjacent private lands to realign the roadway and improve the curve. A temporary construction easement (TCE) may be needed in one location to allow for culvert extension. Contractor staging areas would be located in existing graveled pullouts along the Old Oregon Trail existing ROW:
one is approximately 0.2 mile south of the southern end of the project’s construction area boundary, and one is approximately 0.1 mile north of the northern-most end of the project area.

Construction would require one-way traffic control, resulting in travel delays of up to 20 minutes. Some portions of the work may require partial roadway closures and traffic detours. It is anticipated that construction would take one season and is planned for 2023.

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

Based on the conclusions made in the IS, an MND was prepared. The MND describes the project, including mitigation measures, and makes the determination that there will be no significant effect on the environment provided that the defined mitigation measures are implemented as part of the project. In addition, a Mitigation and Monitoring Program has been written and incorporated into the MND (CEQA Section 21081.6). The MMP will be used by City staff, contractors, agencies, and monitoring personnel during and after the project to ensure effective implementation of the adopted mitigation measures outlined in the MND.

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

Re: 4.11(e)--Old Oregon Trail Safety Improvement Project Page 3 The City of Redding is the lead agency for the project pursuant to CEQA. As the lead CEQA agency, the City Council is authorized to adopt the MND per Redding Municipal Code Section §18.24.070.E and state law. Upon adoption of the MND and approval of the project by the City Council, a Notice of Determination will be filed with the Shasta County Clerk’s Office and the State Clearinghouse, completing the environmental review process. The IS/MND is available in the City Clerk’s office for review and is currently available online at https://www.cityofredding.org/departments/public-works/environmental-management.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) The City Manager, or designee, to sign a letter giving notice to the NorCal Continuum of Care that the City of Redding will no longer serve as the interim Administrative Entity effective December 31, 2025;
(2) Find that applying for and administering grant funding is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act; and
(3) Find that applying for and administering grant funding is an exempt activity under the National Environmental Policy Act under 24 CFR 58.34(a)(3).

Fiscal Impact
The City of Redding (City) is contracted to provide administrative services for the NorCal Continuum of Care (CoC) through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Since the CoC compensates the City to provide these services with grant funding, there is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. Should the City no longer continue to serve as the Administrative Entity (AE) for the CoC, all grant funds associated with this function will be transferred to the successor AE.

City staff funded by the CoC grant will be absorbed into other Housing Division programs.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to notify the CoC of the City’s intention to no longer serve as the AE. In this case, either the City would seek to continue as the AE or the requirement of a minimum 90-day notice will not be met as required by the MOU and Council would need to provide direction to staff regarding the next course of action.

Steve Bade, Assistant City
Manager
Packet Pg. 398
Report to Redding City Council May 15, 2025
Re: 9.2(c)--NorCal CoC Administrative Entity Resignation Page 2 Background/Analysis
In June 2023, the CoC unexpectedly was provided a letter of resignation from Shasta County serving as the AE. This left the CoC essentially unable to complete the annual submission of the Collaborative Application to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). On August 15, 2023, Council approved City staff to assist the CoC with this endeavor.

On August 28, 2023, the NorCal CoC Executive Board (Executive Board) discussed the possibility of the City acting as an interim AE. At the close of the discussion, the Executive Board Chair requested that the City provide its estimated cost for this function, based on the duties outlined in its Governance Charter. At the meeting of September 11, 2023, the City provided this information along with stipulations to being the interim AE. The Executive Board voted and approved the City as the AE.

On September 19, 2023, Council approved the City to act, on an interim two-year basis, as the AE for the CoC. On February 29, 2024, a retroactive MOU between the City and the CoC was executed, laying the foundation for each party’s duties and responsibilities for the term of performance (September 19, 2023, through September 19, 2025).

Recently, the Executive Board and the AE discussed the CoC’s structure, revenue, and costs of administering the CoC, including both Homeless Management Information System administration and various other consultant costs. At the conclusion of these discussions, it became apparent that the cost for the City to perform AE duties was significant and not sustainable for the NorCal CoC. Given the high cost of operation, uncertain revenue streams and the inevitable end to the interim MOU, the City requested that the Executive Board approve a Request for Proposal (RFP) be published to determine if any entities wished to provide the AE duties to the CoC.

On March 20, 2025, the Executive Board reviewed and approved the RFP for publication. The RFP was published on March 24, 2025, with a deadline for submissions of May 1, 2025, with a one-week extension to May 8, 2025. There were no bidders, and the RFP was deemed unresponsive and closed.

The Executive Board has requested the current AE publish a new RFP on May 19, 2025. This RFP makes clear to bidders, that responses to the RFP may include bids for territories smaller than the current seven county CoC. For example, a bidder may wish to submit a response to the RFP for any number of counties under the seven, meaning a bidder could submit a response to the RFP for a single county, for two counties or more, depending on its capacity. This means that the NorCal CoC as it exists today, may be reduced in size and split into several smaller continuums which may provide better local coordination and control as well as less burdensome grant application processing and monitoring with the State of California.

In the meantime and pursuant to the MOU, staff recommends issuing a letter giving notice to the CoC that the City will no longer serve as the interim AE effective December 31, 2025 or sooner should another AE be selected.

Environmental Review
Applying for and administering grant funding is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act.

Executive Board
NorCal Continuum of Care (CoC)
Dear NorCal CoC Executive Board Members,
On behalf of the City of Redding, this letter is intended to formally inform you of our decision to step down as the Administrative Entity for the NorCal Continuum of Care (CoC) effective no later than December 31, 2025.

After much consideration and reflection on our current capacity and the evolving needs of the CoC, we have concluded that it is in the best interest of both the City of Redding and the CoC to transition this important responsibility to another entity. This decision was not made lightly, as we deeply value the work and partnerships we have fostered through our role as the Administrative Entity, as well as our commitment to addressing homelessness and supporting vulnerable populations in our community and the broader region.

We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition during this period and will work closely with the NorCal CoC Board and other stakeholders to facilitate the handoff of responsibilities. We are prepared to assist in the search for a new Administrative Entity and will provide necessary guidance or support to ensure continuity in services and operations as we approach the transition date.

Please know that the City of Redding remains dedicated to the ongoing work of the CoC and we will continue to support efforts to reduce homelessness in our community and across the region.

We look forward to working with you to identify the next steps and ensure a seamless transition for all involved.

Thank you for your understanding and collaboration. Should you have any questions or require further clarification, please feel free to reach out to Shawnna Flanigan directly at [email protected].

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept presentation regarding Redding Riverfront Specific Plan Project updates and Emerging Redding Riverfront Concepts; and provide staff with feedback and direction for development of the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan.

Fiscal Impact
There is no impact to the General Fund by accepting this report.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to accept the Emerging Redding Riverfront Concepts and provide other direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
On January 16, 2024, the Council accepted the Vision and Guiding Principles Framework for the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan. The vision was developed based on extensive feedback, discussion, and refinement by the general public and the Community Coalition. That document is a foundational piece for the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan process and represents the overarching aspirational framework for how the community would like to see the area change, improve, and be enhanced in the future.

City staff and the project team held a series of community workshops, stakeholder discussions, and an online survey in the summer/fall of 2024 to solicit additional community feedback on potential alternatives and options for the riverfront planning area. This included alternatives and options related to: natural and cultural spaces; outdoor activities; buildings and uses; and mobility. The Community Discussion #2 Summary includes a combined summary of community and stakeholder feedback and comments received during the various engagement activities held in the summer/fall of 2024.

MEETING DATE: May 20, 2025
ITEM NO. 9.4(a)

SUBJECT: 9.4(a)--Consider the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan Emerging Concepts by the City of Redding.

Packet Pg. 412
Report to Redding City Council May 15, 2025
Re: 9.4(a)--Redding Riverfront Specific Plan Emerging Concepts by the City of Redding Page 2 Following that engagement, staff and the project team developed an Emerging Redding Riverfront Concepts Summary. The summary includes information on the emerging Vision Framework Diagram (proposed land uses, activities, and circulation within the plan area), Northern Riverfront Concepts, Southern Riverfront Concepts, and a summary comparison for how the various concepts relate back to the community’s Vision and Guiding Principles Framework reviewed by Council during the prior phase of the project.

On May 5, 2025, the Emerging Redding Riverfront Concepts were presented to the community during a community Open House. These materials are also available on the project website (www.ReddingRiverfront.org). The Community Open House Engagement Summary includes community feedback received thus far on the emerging concepts.

If Council accepts the Emerging Redding Riverfront Concepts Summary, staff will proceed with next steps in the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan update process, which includes developing draft specific plan language and initiating the environmental review process.

Environmental Review
Reviewing and accepting of the emerging concepts for the Redding riverfront is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Communication and Transparency – “Improve the quality of communication with the public and City employees to enhance knowledge and increase transparency to improve public trust.”
• 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.”

trespassing or being blocked by private land.
• Visibility of the region as homeland.
• Use of language in local signage.
• Privacy during ceremonies.
• Possible areas of no disturbance for sacred sites
(especially possible burial sites).
• Co-stewardship: trimming back vegetation,
helping salmon to stabilize population, etc.
• Co-management: greater control in guiding
future use.
• “Land Back” can mean a variety of things and
can be accomplished through a variety of
methods with access, co-stewardship and
allowable cultural practices.

The community’s vision for the
future of the Redding Riverfront is
the key foundational piece for the
Specific Plan process.

It represents the overarching
aspirational framework for how the
community would like to see the
area change, improve, and be
enhanced in the future.

As the City and community move
through the Specific Plan process, all
planning concepts, ideas, designs,
policies, and programs considered
for inclusion in the plan must be
consistent with the seven Vision and
Guiding Principles.

Packet Pg. 497 Attachment: Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding Riverfront Specific In April 2023, the Redding City Council began a community-led process to update the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan. The purpose of this project is to reintroduce the community to the river by creating a long-term vision for the 380 acres of public and private land and water along the Sacramento River.

The Specific Plan document, which will be developed based on significant community engagement and discussion, will ultimately establish goals, policies, and development standards to guide public and private development, land stewardship and conservation, roadway and infrastructure projects, and other activities within the study area. It will also include a series of implementation strategies necessary to transform the community vision for the Riverfront into a reality.

2 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 499 Attachment: Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding Riverfront Specific What Is a Specific Plan?
A Specific Plan is a tool used by the
City of Redding and the community
to implement the broader direction
of the City's General Plan. It provides
specific policies and requirements for
development corresponding to a unique
geographic area. It must include a land
use plan for location and intensity of uses;
have an implementation strategy; address
public infrastructure required to serve
the area; and propose capital project and
infrastructure funding options necessary
to implement the plan. In certain
cases, a Specific Plan can go beyond
policy guidance and include detailed
development standards tailored to the
character and needs of the area.

The Specific Plan process includes robust
environmental review and documentation
under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). The City anticipates that
the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan will
require the creation of an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR). The EIR will evaluate
potential environmental impacts of
plan implementation. It will also include
mitigation measures to reduce these
impacts.

The Redding Riverfront Specific Plan
is being led by the City of Redding at
the direction of the City Council. The
Project Team is made up of City of
Redding staff and consultants. In April
2023, the City hired MIG to lead the
specific plan project. MIG is a planning,
environmental, design, and engagement
firm from Sacramento. MIG is supported
by additional engagement, design, and
technical experts from Tawaw Architecture
Collaborative (Indigenous community
engagement and design), GHD
(mobility and infrastructure), Populous
(architectural design), Nichols, Melburg &
Rossetto Architects (architectural design/
local Redding conditions), and Basin
Research (cultural resources).

What a Specific Plan includes . . .
▪ Vision, Goals, Policies, and
Development Regulations unique
to the Redding Riverfront Area
▪ Design Guidelines for new projects
▪ Economic Analysis and Incentives
▪ Circulation Plan (vehicle, bicycles,
pedestrians, parking)
▪ Infrastructure Analysis (capacity
and funding)
▪ Environmental Analysis
What a Specific Plan does not include . . .
▪ Individual public or private development
projects (those are proposed after the
Specific Plan is adopted, and they must
be consistent with the Plan)
3 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 500 Attachment: Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding Riverfront Specific How Will the Community Be Involved?
Robust and transparent community involvement is vital to this project. There will be multiple opportunities for community members to participate both in person and through online discussions during the project. The Project Team has prepared a detailed Community Involvement Strategy (CIS) that includes engagement goals and metrics to ensure broad participation.

Over the course of the two-year process, the Project Team will ensure that there is broad community support on the vision, goals, projects, and components included in the updated plan. This report summarizes the first major step in the project, which is the creation of an emerging Vision and Guiding Principles Framework.

OPEN HOUSES AND DISCUSSIONS
5 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 502 Attachment: Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding Riverfront Specific Community Open Houses
The City hosted two Community Open
Houses on August 14, 2023, at the Civic
Auditorium. The events were organized
as open sessions for the duration of the
time with two formal presentations given
at 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Following
each presentation, participants were
encouraged to join a larger group
discussion facilitated by a member
of the Project Team. This provided an
opportunity for community members
to ask questions and hear from each
other. The Project Team documented
verbal comments from each large group
discussion in a wallgraphic.

Over 200 community members attended
the Community Open Houses and shared
their ideas, concerns, and vision(s) for the
future of the Redding Riverfront area.
6 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 503 Attachment: Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding Riverfront Specific Community Discussions
On August 15, 2023, the Project Team
interviewed key community members,
business and property owners,
and appointed officials as an initial
engagement activity. Participants were
asked for their perspectives on key
issues and opportunities for the Redding
Riverfront that can be addressed during
the Specific Plan process.

Interview participants received an
invitation directly from City staff, either by
phone or email. The interviews consisted
of one hour slots that were conducted in
person at the Redding Civic Auditorium.

7 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 504 Attachment: Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding Riverfront Specific Key Themes
Assets
Natural Beauty and Ecosystem
The Riverfront’s natural beauty is its
greatest asset, along with the ecosystem
it provides to many native and specialstatus species living along the Riverfront, including salmon, trout, bald eagles, deer,
otters, raccoons, other fish, and migrating
birds.

Riparian Habitat
The Redding Riverfront is an expansive
riparian zone providing habitat for many
wildlife species including salmon, eagles,
herons, sandhill cranes, and neotropical
migrant birds. Native plants and trees help
sustain a thriving ecosystem and provide
much-needed shade and cooling.

Parkland and Open Space
Parkland and open space, with trails
along the Riverfront, are easily accessible
to residents and visitors and provide
opportunities to view and appreciate
natural beauty, flora, and fauna.

Trails and Walking Paths
Existing walking, hiking, and biking trails
in the parkland and along the Riverfront
support active transportation and provide
recreational access.

Local History and Culture
The Redding Riverfront has a rich history
and is culturally significant to the Wintu
Tribe. Some monuments in the area honor
Wintu history. There is also a history of
Redding’s fishing, timber, and gravel
industries within the study area.

Unique Attractions
The Sundial Bridge, Redding Civic
Auditorium, Redding Rodeo Grounds,
Turtle Bay Exploration Park and Museum,
and Aqua Golf are all unique physical
attractions that make the Riverfront a
destination for residents and visitors.

Existing Uses and Users
The Riverfront is home to a wide range
of uses and users that support both the
local community and tourism industries.

These include office and commercial
businesses in the Southern Riverfront, the
Sheraton Hotel, Bethel Church (currently
leasing space in the Civic Auditorum),
the Redding Rodeo, and many others.

The Riverfront area also includes unique
infrastructure, such as the ACID irrigation
channel, the Monolith, and the public boat
ramp.

Special Events
Events such as concerts, conferences, and
fireworks are activities the community
would like to see continued or even
expanded in the future. These events
create unique opportunities to attract
people to the Riverfront during different
times of the year.
8 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 505 Attachment: Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding Riverfront Specific Environmental Protection
There are concerns about the conflicts
between the expansion of uses and
activities, and the protection of natural
resources, including open space, bird, fish,
and other animal habitats.

Appropriate Planning and Design
There needs to be an accurate, objective,
and transparent environmental analysis
process conducted as part of the Specific
Plan update. Core to this is the need
to protect assets as part of the entire
planning process, and creating policy
language that protects assets as part of
the entire project.

Land Ownership and Control
There is a desire to craft a Specific Plan
that influences the larger land owners to
work in harmony, maximizing the benefits
of the Riverfront area for all residents,
while also enhancing the natural and
cultural environment.

Indigenous Cultural Resources
There is a need to protect Native and
other cultural resources. This includes
creating mapping and analysis for native
artifact locations, maintaining Indigenous
connections and access to land and river,
and balancing native historical awareness
and current community needs.

Redding Rodeo Association
There was discussion over the question
of keeping, maintaining, expanding, and/
or moving the rodeo grounds. Many
comments were made in support of the
Redding Rodeo and their activities and
events, noting that they are important to
many local residents and tourists.

Mobility, Access, and Traffic
There are concerns about overall
circulation and access limitations
throughout the Riverfront area. There
is a desire to address vehicle traffic,
circulation, access (including emergency
vehicles) and effective buffers to protect
riparian areas. New/expanded trail and
path connections that can create seamless
multi-modal transportation in both the
Northern and Southern Riverfront was
also raised by the community. Lastly, there
is a need to improve safety for pedestrians
and bicyclists, create more transportation
options, and develop a comprehensive
traffic and parking study.

New Mixed-Use Development
Some in the community are supportive
of new development, and there is an
interest in mixed-use development along
Park Marina Drive. Participants envisioned
an active first floor with restaurants and
shops and residential or office space on
upper floors.

Family-Friendly Activities
New development should be designed to
attract families and people of all ages to
participate in recreation, shopping, eating,
and water access.

Public Amenities and Activities
Public amenities such as a playground,
aquatic center, gardens, arboretum, and
restrooms should be built and maintained
for residents and visitors to enjoy when
visiting the Riverfront.

Safety
Safety is a concern near the Civic
Auditorium and Redding Rodeo
Grounds, and in the parking lots. It was
recommended that better activation of
the area and well-lit paths and public
spaces at night would help resolve these
issues.

Key Themes
Challenges and Opportunities
9 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 506 Attachment: Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding Riverfront Specific Key Themes
Vision for the Future
Protect the Natural Environment
and Resources
Conserve and enhance the natural
environment, including: protecting habitat,
bio-diversity, and the health of the river;
limiting waterfront development; limiting
expanded development footprints; sharing
and celebrating the extensive natural
resources; and creating habitats for
protected species.

Enhance Public Access and Recreation
Expand public access and uses; restore
and/or create new public parks and open
space areas; and preserve fish, bird, and
riparian habitat while providing trails,
beaches, and natural landscapes for
public.

Establish Clear Uses and
Development Standards
Create a clear vision for new development
in the Riverfront, supported by
requirements that ensure there is design
cohesion, ease of access and circulation,
and protection of natural resources as new
or renovated development is created.

Expand Outdoor Facilities
and Attractions
Create a thriving and active destination
for both residents and visitors that reflects
the small-town character of Redding
with year-round riverfront activities and
amenities that compare with other wateroriented destinations.

Engage the Indigenous Community
Ensure all Tribes and Indigenous
community members are engaged
throughout this process and are involved
in decision-making. Native input should be
provided on all proposed developments.

Native sites and cultural resources should
be protected. The Wintu Tribe should be
continually engaged as a resource for
helping preserve natural resources.

Support the Redding Rodeo
Support the modernization of the rodeo
grounds, including potential improvements
to make it a multiuse venue. Reimagine
the current use of the grounds so that
it can be activated year-round for other
public events.

Ensure Transparent and Balanced
Community Outreach
Notice and record all meetings and
workshops; ensure authentic, broad, and
well-noticed outreach activities; prioritize
those most impacted; have residents on
the Community Coalition; bring together
opposing viewpoints; make resources and
materials available to the public; and allow
people to post comments on the project
website.

Creating a Cohesive Vision
Developing a vision where all property
owners and involved groups will be willing
to cooperate was acknowledged as a
challenge for the Specific Plan.
10 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan | Vision and Guiding Principles Framework Packet Pg. 507 Attachment: Vision and Guiding Principles Framework (January 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding Riverfront Specific Overview

Guiding Principles
Each Vision Element is further supported
by a series of specific Guiding Principles
that identify measurable objectives and
outcomes. These principles provide a
framework or roadmap for evaluating
concepts, designs, and ideas that are
generated during the Specific Plan
process. All components of the Specific
Plan, including regulations and funding
mechanisms, must be consistent with
the Guiding Principles. Furthermore, the
Guiding Principles work in parallel with
one another, and no principle is more or
less important than the other.

OVERVIEW
Packet Pg. 528 Attachment: Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding 4 PROJECT BACKGROUND
In April 2023, the Redding City Council began a
community-led process to update the Redding
Riverfront Specific Plan. The purpose of this project is to reintroduce the city and community to the river by
creating a long-term vision for 380 acres of public
and private land and water along the Sacramento
River.

In Summer 2024, the City held the second round of
community engagement events and activities focused
on emerging Opportunities and Challenges. The
engagement included discussions on ways the Vision
and Guiding Principles Framework (approved by the
Redding City Council in January 2024) could be
applied in the Riverfront through environmental
preservation/enhancement, appropriate land uses,
recreational activities, and other strategies.

Packet Pg. 529 Attachment: Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding 5 The Project Team hosted two in-person Community
Workshops (June 13 and 15, 2024) and an online
Community Survey (available August to September
2024) to present emerging opportunities and
alternatives for the Northern and Southern Riverfront
areas and solicit community feedback and ideas.

Approximately 130 people attended the community
workshops and 900 people participated in the online
survey.

OVERVIEW
Packet Pg. 530 Attachment: Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding 6 OVERVIEW: COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS
The Community Workshops included four major agenda items.

Welcome and
Introduction
Background
Presentations
Large Group
Polling
Small Group
Breakout Session
Attendees provided their
contact details via sign-in
sheets.

Comment Cards were
provided to each
participant to gather
individual comments.

The Vision and Guiding
Principles Framework was
handed out to participants
for reference.

The Project Team gave a
presentation to update
participants with relevant
project information,
including schedule, major
findings from the Existing
Conditions analysis,
emerging ideas from the
Community Coalition
Process.

This included an overview
of the Vision and Guiding
Principles Framework.

The Project Team led
participants through an
interactive polling
exercise that allowed them
to provide quick reactions
to initial land use and
activity ideas.

The poll also provided an
opportunity to discuss
concepts prior to the Small
Group Breakout session.

Participants broke into
small groups to discuss
and identify priority areas
(Northern Riverfront and
Southern Riverfront) for
their preferred planning
ideas and land uses.

Each group had a large
map and a series of icon
chips and stickers. They
placed items on their map
to corresponded with their
preferences (types of uses
and location) for various
concepts.

Packet Pg. 531 Attachment: Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding 7 OVERVIEW: COMMUNITY SURVEY
The Project Team also developed an interactive online
Community Survey that replicated the concepts and
format of the Community Workshops. This provided
an additional opportunity for the community to
provide feedback and ideas on the emerging
concepts.

Survey participants provided reactions to each
concept initially discussed during the Community
Discussions workshops. Additionally, they were asked
to place uses by dropping icon pins on a digital map in the location they though it was most appropriate.

Participants had the ability to add as many or as few
concepts as they liked to their map.

Approximately 900 people participated in the online
Community Survey.

OVERVIEW
Packet Pg. 534 Attachment: Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding 10 LAND USE CONCEPTS
Natural and Cultural Spaces
 Protect and restore the sensitive natural
environment to improve land and water areas that
serve as habitat spaces for different animals and
fish to thrive.
 Protect habitat, resources, buildings, and
properties from flooding impacts.
 Preserve sites with deep cultural significance and
increase awareness of Indigenous culture through
dedicated learning and education areas, which
could be owned and/or run by the Indigenous
community.

Outdoor Activities
 Focus on increasing opportunities for outdoor
recreation activities that are compatible and
complimentary to Redding’s riverfront context and
leave little (or no) impact on the environment.
 Strategically increase community access to the
Sacramento River and other natural areas within the
project area through elevated, low-impact viewing
platforms.
 Ensure that the planned outdoor activities are
inclusive and accessible by people of all ages and
abilities like designated spaces for fishing activity
near the river.
 Provide activities and facilities that cater to both the local community and visitors.

Packet Pg. 535 Attachment: Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding 11 LAND USE CONCEPTS
Buildings and Uses
 Increase opportunities to access and interact with the Sacramento River by creating experiences like
riverfront dining and some retail storefronts.
 Ensure that the materials used are context-sensitive
and enhance the personality of the riverfront.
 Focus on developing new building design guidelines
that reflect the existing scale and character of
Redding.
 Upgrade existing indoor and outdoor event venues
with strategically identified enhancements, to
improve their efficiency and all-year round usage.
 Increase public amenities like community gathering
spaces, outdoor event venues and multi-purpose
facilities to benefit the local community and visitors.  Preserve native flora and fauna by considering the
possibility of a botanical garden.

Mobility
 Improve and increase connectivity between the
Northern and Southern Riverfront areas across
Highway 44.
 Prioritize pedestrian and bike safety by providing
additional street infrastructure like separated bike
paths and safe crosswalks along Park Marina Drive
and river crossings.
 Provide adequate parking infrastructure that is low
impact with green spaces, trees and other green
strategies.
 Better design and manage parking within the
Northern Riverfront.

Packet Pg. 536 Attachment: Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding 12 PRIORITY LOCATIONS FOR USES AND ACTIVITIES
Northern Riverfront Area
 Restore the natural habitat by preserving both flora and fauna through wetland and fish habitat restoration.

Provide designated spaces for fishing activity.
 Upgrade the existing Civic Auditorium and Rodeo facility by retrofitting or re-configuring their spaces.

Strategically plan year-round events and programming to encourage the space to function as one integrated multi-functional space for the community.
 Create a new multi-use event space that becomes a regional event destination that serves the local community and visitors/tourists such as an outdoor music venue or community gathering space.  Provide spaces that protect Indigenous culture, transition, and practices.  Increase bicycle and pedestrian access and improve vehicular circulation between the different facilities in the Northern Riverfront and across to the Southern Riverfront. Strategically increase access to natural areas through sensitive low impact recreation.
 Identify nature-based solutions to protect the Riverfront Area from flooding impacts.  Provide low-impact parking for the different event spaces that require vehicle access.

Packet Pg. 537 Attachment: Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding 13 PRIORITY LOCATIONS FOR USES AND ACTIVITIES
Southern Riverfront Area
 Explore ways to increase public access to the Sacramento River’s edge in the Southern Riverfront.  Provide riverfront dining and river-facing retail to allow greater connections with the Sacramento River.  Allow low-impact water recreation activities to give people access, and new ways to interact with the Sacramento River. These could include fishing, kayaking, a riverfront bike path or a strategically designed boardwalk.  Increase multi-modal access along Park Marina Drive by providing additional street infrastructure like complete bike lanes, sidewalks, and safe crosswalks that also help reduce vehicular speed improving the riverfront experience.  Consider limited housing and mixed-use projects that included lower heights and natural building materials.

Packet Pg. 538 Attachment: Community Discussions #2 Summary (Summer 2024) (9.4(a)--Redding 14 KEY CHALLENGES
 Balancing between low- and high-intensity spaces for gathering and recreation. Providing high-volume and high-intensity uses like the large event spaces and a hotel while simultaneously preserving, protecting and enhancing the natural habitat for the native flora and fauna which limits recreational access in the northern riverfront area.
 Increasing the viability of the Civic Auditorium and Rodeo Facility. Developing a strategic events and programming matrix to ensure that the two facilities support and function as an extension of the other, rather than existing in isolation from each other.
 Creating an Indigenous space. Creating space(s) for an Indigenous cultural area within, but at the same time separated/secluded from, high-intensity uses in the Northern Riverfront.  Removing connectivity barriers between the Northern and Southern Riverfront. Finding ways to increase access and interaction with the river and connectivity across Highway 44, which currently is a barrier between the Northern and Southern Riverfronts.
 Increasing public access to the river’s edge in the Southern Riverfront. Exploring opportunities for purely public or public-private access and ownership within the Southern riverfront which gives people a sense of their proximity to and enjoyment of the Sacramento River.
 Reducing flooding impacts. Designating suitable uses and designing naturalized spaces that hold water, reduce flood impacts, and ensure that any new development is resilient to occasional inundation likely based on its location in and near the 100-year floodplain.

COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE:

EMERGING RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS

ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY
May 09, 2025
Project Overview
In April 2023, the Redding City Council began a community-led process to update the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan. The purpose of this project is to reintroduce the community to the river by creating a long-term vision for the 380 acres of public and private land and water along the Sacramento River. The Specific Plan document, which will be developed based on significant community engagement and discussion, will ultimately establish goals, policies, and development standards to guide public and private development, land stewardship and conservation, roadway and infrastructure projects, and other activities within the study area. It will also include a series of implementation strategies necessary to transform the community vision for the Riverfront into a reality.

Community Open House Overview
The purpose of the Community Open House was to solicit the community’s feedback on emerging Riverfront concepts. This interactive Open House provided them with an opportunity to:
• Review and provide feedback on the emerging concepts. • Share additional ideas, insights and perspectives.
• Learn about the City’s planning process and ways they can stay involved.

A series of stations were located around the room. Each station provided information on the project and the emerging concepts. Community members were encouraged to walk around the room to view project updates, the Vision and Guiding Principles Framework, Vision Framework Diagram, emerging concepts for both the Northern and Southern Riverfronts, and project next steps. The City’s project team was available to answer questions and discuss the various concepts.

Major Themes and Feedback
The following is a summary of the major themes and feedback provided by the community during the Community Open House.

I. VISION AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES FRAMEWORK AND VISION

FRAMEWORK DIAGRAM
• Many community members favored the River Greenway Trail concept. They liked that the trail system improved connectivity and access to the river. • Many community members felt the need for permanent “conservation easements” in the areas identified as open space and habitat restoration. • Many community members felt it was important to consider the 100-year floodplain and related strategies while planning new developments along the riverfront. • Many community members felt it was important to enhance Redding’s beauty by preserving and increasing natural areas, having consistent setbacks from the river, Packet Pg. 615 Attachment: Community Open House Engagement Summary (May 2025) (9.4(a)--Redding Riverfront Specific Plan Emerging Concepts by the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan 3
COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE: EMERGING RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
having unique identity and architectural character that sensitively responds to natural setting of the riverfront.
• Several community members felt that any new development along Park Marina Drive should strategically maintain and/or create visual connections with the ponds. • Several community members expressed concerns about parts of the trail passing through private residential properties.
• Several community members felt that the Southern Riverfront should be activated with retail (restaurants, cafes, bookstores) and/or mixed uses that would invite more people and increase safety in the area.
• Several community members suggested a whitewater park as an attraction in the Southern Riverfront.

II. NORTHERN RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
• While many community members favored the long-term option of having a single multi-purpose event venue, some favored keeping the existing Rodeo grounds and Civic Auditorium and making focused upgrades to them. There were suggestions for the multi-purpose event venue to have a retractable roof that can be opened or shut based on the type of event.
• Many community members favored the transition of Highway 44 to a city street.

They favored both the river greenway park and the multi-use trails on both sides.

Several community members had reservations to this concept given its likely high cost and regulatory hurdles. In addition, many community members favored the idea of having a second entry-exit connection to the Northern Riverfront. • Many community members suggested having conservation easements in the area identified for open space and natural habitat restoration. • Several community members felt there is a need for more parking to accommodate the increased activities in the Northern Riverfront. There were suggestions for structured parking instead of large surface parking lots. • Several community members felt that area reserved for the Indigenous Cultural Center should be larger. There were suggestions for integrating Indigenous history into the overall trail system.
• Several community members expressed concerns regarding retaining existing businesses and residences.
• Several community members suggested a larger outdoor music platform and space by the Sacramento River with sunshades or increasing the usage of the current riverfront amphitheater through events, performances, etc.

Packet Pg. 616 Attachment: Community Open House Engagement Summary (May 2025) (9.4(a)--Redding Riverfront Specific Plan Emerging Concepts by the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan 4
COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE: EMERGING RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
• A few community members expressed concerns regarding the formation of a Riverfront Consortium, as they felt it could be a cumbersome process.

III. SOUTHERN RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
• Many community members liked the River Greenway Trail concept and felt that it would increase connectivity and access throughout the riverfront. • Many community members expressed concerns regarding the impacts of flooding, particularly in the Southern Riverfront.
• Many community members favored making Park Marina Drive more pedestrian and bicycle friendly. There were additional suggestions for adding charging stations for scooters and increasing shaded outdoor spaces for the public. • Many community members favored Alternative C and D for Park Marina Drive redesign, since they maximize pedestrian circulation and amenities by reducing increasing sidewalk widths on both sides of the street. • Some community members liked Alternative B for the Park Marina Drive redesign because it retained parking on both sides of the street. • Some community members felt that Park Marina Drive should remain as it is.

Appendix A: All Comments
The following is a transcription of all poster and Post-It Note comments received during the Community Open House.

VISION AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES FRAMEWORK / VISION FRAMEWORK DIAGRAM • Conservation easements on open space in Northern Riverfront. • Factor in 100-year flood plain.
• Private street-residential area.
• Boardwalk into Kutras pond sidewalk.
• Redding cultural district-only a few mentions.
• Retain residential properties.
• Activate S.R. with retail/food.
• Maintain views of ponds/visual connections.
• I love all the interconnected trails – keep+add to them. • Maintain views along Park Marina and less building.
• Make sure the architecture flows with the land like Frank Lloyd Wright. • I see dream agendas and other cities, where is Redding? Give it identity. Don’t copy others.
• D1-doesn’t allow for attractions such as Sundial Bridge. • Mix of housing with commercial on PMD for eyes om area/safety @ all times. • Don’t realign PMD to be on Washington.
• (Free) electric street cars in a riverfront circuit (like Portland near Powell’s). • Make it pedestrian-friendly.
• Whitewater park-artificial river wave for kayaking/surfing. • Emphasize Redding’s Beauty!
• Protect the Residential area from additional traffic flow.

COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE: EMERGING RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
• Where is the Riverfront Amphitheatre?
• Conservation easement.
• Not really up more development.
• How is this different to the civic lawn? Amphitheatre sports rentals? What is intended here?
• 8000! Way too large!!
• I don’t want more businesses along the river. Blocks view and destroys ecosystems. • Have consistent setback of 300 ft from top of the bank of Sacramento River. • 150’ is too close to the river. And better to have natural! • NO!! Multi-family housing etc., Keep it natural.
• No new buildings ever?
• I don’t want more buildings here.
• Add access via Eureka way instead!
• No turning Highway 44 into a surface street.
• Fire and emergency access/evacuation is currently great with 44. Fear realignment and stop lights dangerous.
• Permanent Easements on open space.
• Love elevated trail loop concept!
• Park Marina Drive landscaped center divided and walking trail. • I support the bike trails.
• Floodplain.

NORTHERN RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
• Add a parking garage.
• For outdoor events (like on lawn @ civic) public restrooms to handle crowds. • Trailer parking for boat launch, staging and preparation.

Packet Pg. 619 Attachment: Community Open House Engagement Summary (May 2025) (9.4(a)--Redding Riverfront Specific Plan Emerging Concepts by the Redding Riverfront Specific Plan 7
COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE: EMERGING RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
• Indigenous cultural area should be more expansive.
• Integrate indigenous history into the trail system.
• Keep Viking Skating Rink (upgrade).
• I do not want an indoor Rodeo-just fix the current.
• Love the bike/ped trails, especially the connection to Trinity. • Conservation easement potential?
• I really like the long-term option B w/ the multi-use event center. • Larger outdoor music platform and space by the river with sun shades. • Multi-use venue should have a roof that can open/close depending on event and weather.
• Rodeo shouldn’t take priority over t.bay or civic.
• What does active recreation mean? Open grass field for soccer /frisbee other or paved courts for pickle ball.
• What happens to existing businesses.
• Make signage easier and synced.
• Keep Highway 44.
• Interim plan adapt civic lawn for year-round use.
• Reorganize access to convention center so outdoor concerts are not bisected by a road.
• Keep/adapt Civic Auditorium.
• Please keep Rodeo and be open to bringing Redding into the 21st century. • RV hookups that are accessible and useful.
• Like our old-school western Rodeo arena. Indoor feels like Vegas. • I like the long-term multi-use facility.
• Nice concept (long-term facility).
• Access through the cemetery and keep 44. Dread more roundabouts and traffic lights on 44.

COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE: EMERGING RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
• Turtle Bay parking is inadequate now.
• Can existing riverfront stage be used more?
• Parking lots need more trees.
• Yay! A 2nd entry from 44 to riverfront.
• Community Sports, Cultural and Arts District seems cumbersome. • Consortium must not include McConnell.
• Include raft or kayak or canoe rentals.
• What do the facilities do to achieve positive annual cash flow? (revenue greater than cost) Lessons for Redding? (Other than creative accounting). • Clarify what is streets vs bike/ped trail on the diagram. • Biking connections or ped.
• Do not take highway 44 out. I’m in favor of another interchange onto 44 from rodeo area x1.
• Don’t move cemetery graves.
• Reducing # of lanes on 44 as Redding is getting busier? That might not be a good idea-more accidents.
• I agree with them that taking 44 out would be terrible. • Let’s create an alternative cut and cover Highway 44 to underground the traffic. • Should mixed use buildings have a limited number of stories? • Great idea to make 44 into a boulevard! Integrates the concept, slows traffic, makes it safer for all traffic participants.
• We prefer Alt B Highway 44 to redesign multi-use trails on both sides. • Alt B Greenway River Park Connector: This one, yes.
• Please consider a conservation easement.
• Agree conservation easements development.
• Yes to conservation easement.
• Information on indigenous culture would be more accessible and fascinating.

• No gambling industry in plan-please.

SOUTHERN RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
• River trail- yes! Flooding?
• Love the southern riverfront plan with trails. Hate the freeway removal on the northern plan.
• Bike trail Alt A.
• Recharging points for mobility-scooters.
• Maximum vehicle/mobility +Speed on a pedestrian road. • On pedestrian roadways.
• Maximum quantity fish catch and release.
• Old mill district plan in Bend is great.
• American River Parkway trail in Sacramento is not safe. • Please create shade+shaded outdoor areas into all designs. • Pedestrian friendly road. Connect to service, not just to trail system. To library, grocery stores etc.
• Riverfront is valuable and should only have properties that take full advantage like retail/apartment or homes.
• Truck and boat trailer parking.
• Love this southern section concept.
• Love the bike trail at Kutras.
• Love River trail greenway! Connect to destinations to the south. • Flood impacts!
• Parking on both sides. Alt B I agree with this one.
• B looks nice.
• Dog Poop regulations especially on pedestrian roadways. • We need a turn lane. Otherwise will create traffic build up.

COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE: EMERGING RIVERFRONT CONCEPTS
• Actual photos would be easier to understand.
• I like 2 lanes of cars along park marina so I like A or B. • Park Marina center divider with landscaping divided traffic. • Like Alt D for the Park Marina Redesign.
• Maximize pedestrian use.
• Alt D loved it!
• Alt D: This is the most citizen/business friendly option D. • Like option C&D with less lanes of traffic.
• I like 2 lanes each way and 2 bike lanes. Keep existing or A.

SUMMARY AND NEXT STEPS
• Fines for loitering (missing trash cans). Improper waste disposal. • Public post of criteria for use of entertainment venues+spaces. • Element C-Lawn with 8000 people-okay. No buildings that size belong here. • Element B- Good start need to develop this idea much more. Also include land and water access, management. Access to plants for cultural purposes. Also need to follow wintu guidance to protect graves and cultural resources throughout the entire riverfront area.
• Tribal voices @ the table-yes!
• Leave river bed alone.
• White water park.
• White water and kayak areas.
• Leave river bed along, no development in river.
• Why increased use and impact? It is nice to have space. If I wanted crowded I would go to the city.
• NEPA for federal permits for new bridges for bike/ped? Any federal funds involved for anything? Or NEPA later?

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve Redding Electric Utility’s updated and revised 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan pursuant to California Senate Bill 901.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact related to approving revisions to the 2025 Redding Electric Utility (REU) Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP).

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to approve the WMP revisions and provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
California Senate Bill 901 became law in September 2018. The law requires electric utilities with overhead electrical infrastructure located in high fire threat zones to prepare plans and implement wildfire mitigation efforts. The WMP requirements are codified in California Public Utilities Code (PUC) §8387(b)(2) for local publicly-owned electric utilities.

The first program in REU’s WMP, the Wildfire Prevention and Improved Response Program, was approved by Council on May 7, 2019. Three additional programs, the Technology Solutions Program, the Distribution 10-year Capital Improvement Program, and the Emergency Operations Program, were approved on December 3, 2019, along with the plan as a whole. Council approved REU’s 2020 Monitoring & Auditing Annual Report of Wildfire Mitigation on December 1, 2020, and the 2021 Monitoring & Auditing Annual Report of Wildfire Mitigation, with the revised 2022 Wildfire Mitigation Plan on December 7, 2021. Each subsequent year the WMP has been presented to Council for approval.

Re: 9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update Page 2 The 2025 WMP includes revisions and goals achieved from 2024 which includes the 2024 Monitoring and Auditing Report (Appendix E). The 2025 WMP has minor adjustments and highlights several capital project completions and updated target dates. In addition, the 2025 WMP includes the use of enhanced distribution system protection settings to further reduce the risk of wildfire ignition from REU infrastructure during the fire season. Lastly, as part of prudent utility practice, the 2025 WMP provides REU with the ability to pre-emptively de-energize portions of the grid during high fire threat weather events, more commonly known as public safety power shutoffs.

If approved, the changes made to REU’s WMP will be incorporated and submitted for California Wildfire Safety Advisory Board review.

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

(REU) electrical infrastructure are located in and adjacent to both California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) designated Tier 2 and 3 wildfire threat areas.

REU’s overarching goal is to provide safe, reliable, and economical electric service to its local community. To meet this goal, REU constructs, maintains, and operates its electrical lines and equipment in a manner that minimizes the risk of catastrophic wildfires.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Version 8.0
May 1, 2025 8

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

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

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

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

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

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

May 1, 2025 9
C. WILDFIRE PREVENTION STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS
The third goal for the Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to minimize the spread of wildfire within and near REU assets.

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

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

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

repair owned by an entity, REU may issue a notice to repair to the facility owner and work to ensure that necessary repairs are promptly completed. During emergencies, REU assumes the primary role and informs providers when there is damage or risk to their equipment.

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

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

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

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

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

E. CAL OES STANDARDIZED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
As a utility department of the COR located in Shasta County, REU may participate in various emergency operation centers depending on the situation and lead agency. As a local governmental agency, COR has planning, communication, and coordination obligations pursuant to the California Office of Emergency Services’ Standardized Emergency Management System (“SEMS”) Regulations, adopted in accordance with Government Code section 8607. The SEMS Packet Pg. 640 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 8.0
May 1, 2025 14
Regulations specify roles, responsibilities, and structures of communications at five different levels: field response, local government, operational area, regional, and state. The COR (via Redding Fire Department) maintains an All Hazards Emergency Operations Plan that includes REU. The COR works closely with Shasta County to coordinate emergency operations, including the Shasta County Sherriff’s Office of Emergency Services (OES).

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

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

4. WILDFIRE RISK AND RISK DRIVERS
A. BACKGROUND
Within REU’s service territory and the surrounding areas, the primary risk drivers associated with geography and climate for wildfire are the following:
a) Extended drought
b) Vegetation type
c) Vegetation density (especially the West side and greenbelts) d) Weather

B. ENTERPRISE SAFETY AND WILDFIRE RISK METHODOLOGY
To ascertain the level of risk to our system, REU assessed wildfire risk by looking at our historic outages caused by animals, birds, vegetation, car-pole accidents, and overhead equipment failures.

Additionally, REU will review historical fire records to see if there are other areas of risk that should be addressed.

REU has conducted multiple operational risk inventories to determine the appropriate methodology when assessing risk. The following criteria were identified when assessing risk:
severity, probability of occurrence, mitigation to be done, and speed of onset. This includes identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing risks associated with catastrophic events, such as wildfires.

Key REU assets can be found in the 10-year Capital Improvement Program. SYSTEM AND

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5. WILDFIRE PREVENTION STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS
A. STRATEGY – VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
REU meets or exceeds the minimum industry standard vegetation management practices for transmission-level facilities. For both transmission and distribution level facilities, REU meets:
(1) Public Resources Code section 4292; (2) Public Resources Code section 4293; (3) GO 95 Rule 35; and (4) the GO 95 Appendix E Guidelines to Rule 35. These standards require significantly increased clearances in the High Fire Threat District. The recommended time-of-trim guidelines do not establish a mandatory standard, but instead provide useful guidance to utilities. REU will use specific knowledge of growing conditions and tree species to determine the appropriate time of trim clearance in each circumstance. REU treats both native and non-native trees in our service area. The following trees are vigorous in growth and are treated regularly: oak, ailanthus altissima, Packet Pg. 645 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan

REU funds staff and equipment for vegetation management at the Redding Fire Department and Redding Parks Department to clear brush and trees away from poles, substations, REU’s powerplant, and various high fire threat areas in the Redding community. Additionally, the Parks staff conducts weed abatement around power poles in high threat areas. Power poles in high-risk areas were treated with fire retardant material during the 2021 fire season. New technology was developed and REU started wrapping power poles in high-risk areas with a fire-retardant webbing, allowing for longer protection of the poles. Over 500 poles were wrapped in 2022 and 230 power poles were wrapped during calendar year 2023. As of the end of 2024 861 poles have been wrapped with fire retardant wire mesh. An additional 700 poles have been targeted within high-risk areas for pole wrapping starting in 2025. REU utilizes goats in areas near power lines that are often difficult for personnel to reach. REU works directly with private property owners on vegetation management in high fire threat zones to lower fire risks. For a comprehensive list of prevention efforts conducted during the 2024 calendar year see Appendix G-2024 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Monitoring and Auditing Report.

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

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

May 1, 2025 21
B. STRATEGY - ENHANCED INSPECTIONS
Inspection plays an important role in wildfire prevention. REU patrols its system regularly and has taken steps to optimize its inspections. REU’s current inspection activities include several components in accordance with GO-95, 128, and 165, which include annual patrols, detailed inspections, and intrusive inspections of wood poles. Furthermore, REU utilizes contracted arborists to conduct line clearance inspections of the entire transmission and distribution system annually.

For a comprehensive list of enhanced inspection efforts conducted during the 2024 calendar year see Appendix G -2024 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Monitoring and Auditing Report.

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

Other efforts include the following technology in collaboration with RFD, RPD, and the City’s Information Technology (IT) Department:
• Utilize strategically located surveillance cameras for early detection of fires or suspicious activity; This is also part of REU’s SB699 Physical Security Plan; • Expanded use of Automatic Vehicle Locators (AVL) for response and recovery for REU, RFD, and RPD;
• Implemented a common Motorola radio communication system for REU, RFD, and RPD for wildfire and disaster response and recovery;
• Provided human resources for implementation, operation, and maintenance of technologies:

Customer reporting tools for safety issues;
• Completed a state-of-the-art Department Operations Center to integrate and disseminate situational data.

Other enhancement to public notification during high fire threat, actual fire, or other disaster events can be found in Appendix G-2024 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Monitoring and Auditing Report.

D. STRATEGY - OPERATIONAL PRACTICES
REU will operate the system in a manner that will minimize potential wildfire risks, including taking all reasonable and practicable actions to minimize the risk of a catastrophic wildfire caused by REU electric facilities. REU will take corrective action for deficiencies when the staff discovers or is notified of improperly installed or maintained fire protection measures. In addition to those Packet Pg. 648 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 8.0
May 1, 2025 22
general principles, several new operational practices will help reduce the risk of wildfire and improve the response time in the event of a fire, including:
• During high wildfire threat periods (red flag warnings) perform work as described in SOP35. All personnel in contact with RFD and RPD reporting anything hazardous. REU Emergency Operations Program (EOP) on Level 1 status;
• REU performs bi-annual system drills for the REU EOP in conjunction with summer and winter preparation meetings. Summer drills are performed no later than May 31 of each year; winter drills are performed no later than December 15 of each year. If an actual alert level is experienced due to a Red Flag warning or other activity, the drill may not be necessary;
• Collect and maintain wildfire data necessary for the implementation and evaluation of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

E. STRATEGY - SYSTEM HARDENING
REU’s electric facilities are designed, constructed, and maintained to meet or exceed the relevant federal, state, or industry standard. REU treats CPUC General Order (GO) 95 as a key industry standard for design and construction standards for overhead electrical facilities. REU meets or exceeds all standards in GO 95. Additionally, REU monitors and follows as appropriate the National Electric Safety Code. In addition to standards, REU will consider some or all of the following as described in the 10-year Capital Improvement Program:
• Non-exempt poles with operating devices are cleared of all vegetation around them with a minimum radius of 10’. Perform this for every applicable wood pole in the system for resiliency;
• Provide additional access roads along power line easements and maintain to appropriate standards;
• Critical power poles located within high-risk areas are wrapped with fire retardant material for added protection;
• Increase stock of air filters for power plant before each summer; • Engineering – Revise construction standards to implement arc suppression components, raptor framing, squirrel guards, tree wire, lightning arrestors, and arc suppression fusing. • Convert overhead lines to underground as feasible and economical; Install covered conductor and tree wire.
• Alternative Technologies- REU will consider the feasibility of implementing alternative technologies, such as wire-break sensing and arc detection technology, as they become available and cost-effective.

May 1, 2025 23
For a comprehensive list of system hardening projects conducted by REU in 2024, see Appendix G-2024 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Monitoring and Auditing Report.

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

G. STRATEGY – RECLOSING, DE-ENERGIZATION
REU disables automatic reclosing on circuits that traverse Tier 2 and enables high-speed tripping for Tier 3 areas during periods in which the National Weather Service (NWS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issues a Red Flag Warning or at REU Management discretion for safety purposes. REU will continue to shut off power when requested by Redding Fire, Police, Cal Fire, or other emergency responding agencies. In addition to temporary shutoff requests from the above entities, the use of a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) may be utilized to prevent igniting a fire during extreme fire weather events and other events with additional high-fire threat conditions. The Reclosing and De-Energization program is documented in SOP-35.

REU will limit preemptively shutting off power (PSPS) during high fire threat periods for the following reasons:
• Our service territory is only 60 square miles and relatively compact and visible with proper technology;
Packet Pg. 650 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 8.0
May 1, 2025 24
• Approximately fifty percent (50%) of the City’s eight hundred (800) miles of distribution lines are located below ground;
• The City has eight (8) Redding Fire Stations positioned strategically throughout the City and with the additional fifteen (15) Firefighters hired through the Wildfire Mitigation Plan, the response time by fire personnel, should a fire occur, will be reduced significantly; • All identified law enforcement, fire, and hospital facilities are within the Non-High Fire Threat Zone boundaries;
• Five (5) of the REU substations are located within the Tier 2/3 boundaries; • CalFire Northern Operations Division and CalFire Shasta Trinity Unit headquarters are located within the City of Redding limits along with CalFire’s Air Attack Unit, and multiple CalFire Substations are located in and around the City limits, ensuring timely mutual aid response;
• The City hired fifteen (15) Firefighters, and eight (8) Public Works Maintenance employees and is proactively mitigating Tier 2 and Tier 3 fire zone areas by removing brush and trees near Redding Electric equipment and lines; • Turning off the power could put the community at higher risk of wildfire as it could impact water pumping and also create abnormal human activity that could increase the opportunity for fire. REU will respond to direct requests to de-energize from the Redding Fire Department;
• REU is investing in our Wildfire Mitigation and Improved Response Program as one way to mitigate power shut-offs;
• REU plans to have real-time information from staff located in areas identified as at risk of being subject to extreme weather conditions;
• REU makes use of social media and the REU website to communicate relevant and timely notifications, as well as a public outage portal map.
• REU plans to use system hardening, situational awareness, vegetation management, and other strategies to avoid shutting off power.
• As part of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan, REU may disable automatic reclosing, enable fast-trip protection, or both, on circuits that traverse tier 2 or 3 areas or are considered a fire risk during periods in which the National Weather Service issues a Red Flag Warning or at REU Management discretion for safety purposes.

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

• REU is a member of the California Utility Emergency Association, which plays a key role in ensuring communications between utilities during emergencies including mutual aid.

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

I. PROGRAM – REU WILDFIRE PREVENTION AND IMPROVED

RESPONSE
On May 7, 2019, the Council approved the REU Wildfire Prevention and Improved Response Program (Appendix B). The Program provides funding to the Redding Fire Department and the Community Services Department for services rendered to prevent the start of wildfires through fire fuels reduction as well as provide faster response in the event of a wildfire either caused by or threatening the electric utility assets located in and around the City of Redding. The Redding Fire Department provides coordination between REU and other local fire agencies as well as oversight of the Program.

Specifically, this program provides fifteen Firefighters to increase staffing from two-person to three-person crews. This improves initial fire response. Finally, eight Public Works vegetation crew workers perform fire fuels mitigation. In total twenty-three personnel continue to augment REU’s existing nine arborists. Additional outside arborist crews and vendors will continue to be utilized as needed to reduce vegetation and high-risk fire areas.

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

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

Specifically, this program provides a common radio platform, including base stations, handhelds, and vehicle-mounted radios for REU personnel, as well as radio equipment for Redding Police personnel, Redding Fire personnel, and Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) tracking devices on Packet Pg. 652 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan

all Electric Utility vehicles and necessary upgrades for first responder vehicles. The common communication and GPS vehicle tracking platforms will be expandable and be designed to allow easy adoption by other City Departments at a small incremental cost. The Program also funds the Department Operations Center, where all of the technology is integrated, which enhances situational awareness during high fire threat days, system outages, and emergencies.

K. PROGRAM – REU DISTRIBUTION 10-YEAR CAPITAL

IMPROVEMENT
The objective of the 10-Year Capital Improvement Program (Appendix D) is to enhance the distribution system to replace specific components used on the electrical distribution system to reduce the probability that the system itself will initiate a fire as well as harden the electrical distribution system to better survive a fire initiated by other sources. The specific program objectives are being designed and were completed mid-2021. These objectives will be achieved using the following five strategies:
• Enhanced inspections and tracking of assets;
• System hardening of key subsystems;
• Improved situational awareness;
• System improvements providing better operational practices; • The addition of switching to provide precision de-energization.

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

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

REU maintains multiple electric system operating procedures designed to mitigate, communicate, and restore abnormal system conditions to normal status. As evident from the 2018 Carr Fire and the February 2019 snowstorm event, the utility could greatly benefit from the implementation of a utility-wide EOP that utilizes the Incident Command System (ICS) structure along with the established electric system operating procedures. Fortunately, REU is organizationally structured to easily fit into the ICS unit system with appropriate roles and responsibilities between incident Packet Pg. 653 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 8.0
May 1, 2025 27
command (Executive Team) and section chiefs (Leadership Team). Therefore, the implementation of SOP-200 fits well within the roles and responsibilities segmented appropriately.

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

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

As required in the City’s EOP, an Emergency Operations Contact Information document has been created with a listing of key REU emergency response personnel, a conference bridge, and emergency contact email and phone information.

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

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

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

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

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

Packet Pg. 654 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan

May 1, 2025 28
REU management will oversee restoration and response activities. In the event that additional staff is needed, REU may leverage mutual aid agencies, other City of Redding staff, and local aid organizations. The utility may also engage contractors on an as-needed basis.

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

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

Assessment. REU crews must patrol each line segment to determine the extent of damage that has occurred. The patrol involves assessing equipment access issues, any cleanup/debris removal issues and determining personal protective equipment requirements for the crews. REU works with the local agency in charge of the fire to access impacted areas as soon as the area is deemed safe by fire officials.

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

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

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

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

In most cases, the following restoration priorities will be followed depending on the specific incident and available resources:
• Public safety in the affected areas;
• Worker safety in performing the restoration work;
• Life-support or critical customers;
• Critical infrastructure (Key City and County facilities and accounts; Sheriff’s Department and jail, City Police and Fire Departments, other key utility facilities (e.g., water, sewage, Packet Pg. 655 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan

gas, citywide communications), Incident Command Site or Base Camp, Incident Evacuation Centers, local broadcast and radio Stations, etc.); • Major commercial activities/accounts critical to continuity of community services (e.g., gas stations, food stores, home supply stores, repair shops, eateries and lodging facilities, financial institutions, etc);
• To reduce the total number of customers affected;
• To reduce the length of time customers have been without power.

In directing restoration efforts to best achieve the above priorities, REU Operations Group personnel will generally find it most efficient to dedicate restoration resources to the following types of facilities in the following order of priority to optimally restore electric services:
• Redding Power Plant facilities (RPP);
• Other energy supply resources (to ensure power can be delivered/received via Western Area Power Administration, the COTP, from within BANC, the CAISO, etc.); • Transmission circuits (115 kV) subject to NERC requirements; • Substations;
• Distribution circuits (12 kV);
• Distribution feeders;
• Distribution transformers;
• Service lines.

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

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

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

Metric 2: Wires Down
Packet Pg. 656 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 8.0
May 1, 2025 30
The second metric is the number of distribution and transmission wires downed within REU’s service territory. For purposes of this metric, a wire down event includes any instance where an electric transmission or primary distribution conductor falls to the ground or onto a foreign object.

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

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

B. IMPACT OF METRICS ON PLAN
Appendix G – Wildfire Monitoring and Auditing Report provides the impact on the metrics of the plan. REU will continue to identify areas of its operations and service territory that are disproportionately impacted and evaluate potential improvements to the plan. REU staff will continue to collected data update the WMP annually.

Notable changes include the implementation of a workforce management program, contracting with vendors for vegetation and equipment inspection, and upgrades to the internal inspection process improving the overall auditing and reporting of utility caused fires. REU has improved the collection process along with monitoring and reporting of events.

C. MONITORING AND AUDITING THE PLAN
Review of this Plan will occur annually and any lessons learned will have the highest priority for improving steps in the plan, any reference programs, and the process for implementation. REU will present this plan to the Redding City Council on an annual basis at a regularly scheduled City of Redding Council Meeting on the Regular Calendar allowing public comment on the elements of the plan.

D. IDENTIFYING AND CORRECTING DEFICIENCIES IN THE PLAN
REU staff and qualified external stakeholders are encouraged to identify Wildfire Mitigation Plan deficiencies or potential deficiencies to the Assistant Director of Utility Operations as soon as possible when observed. The Assistant Director of Utility Operations shall evaluate each reported deficiency and if the deficiency is determined to be a valid plan deficiency, it shall be entered into a log with the following information:
• Date the deficiency was discovered;
• Description of the deficiency;
• Source identifying the deficiency (e.g., Internal Audit); • Priority based on deficiency severity;
• Assigned corrective action, including the date when it must be completed by; • Assigned staff responsible for completing the corrective action; Packet Pg. 657 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 8.0
May 1, 2025 31
• Date corrective action completed.

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

E. MONITORING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INSPECTIONS
REU will perform inspections on either a 5-year, 15 year, or annual cycle, based on GO 165 or fire mitigation recommendations. Any areas or equipment found that need improvement or appear hazardous will be documented with a work order, given a priority, and the work order will be tracked. When completed the work order will have a close date.

The Assistant Director of Transmission and Distribution Assets will assign qualified internal staff or engage a third party to review and audit the equipment and line inspection programs called out in the Wildfire Mitigation Plan after the completion of the first six months of the plan. The assigned auditor will:
• Review records for the inspection programs;
• Interview staff performing inspections to assess their knowledge of the inspection programs;
• Monitor staff performing inspection activities;
• Review deficiencies noted in the programs;
• Identify systemic issues or problems;
• Note the timeliness of corrective actions; and
• Pick a random sample of some completed corrective actions and verify the effectiveness of the corrective actions; and
• Issue a written report of findings.

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

REU Wildfire Prevention and Improved Response Program

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mobile cameras will also be used in a variety of preventative ways through the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This includes the identification of potential right-of-way hazards as well Packet Pg. 672 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 8.0
May 1, 2025 46
as the location and isolation of hot spots in REU distribution lines using Forward Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR) technologies.

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

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

Command center personnel will be able to see the direction a fire is spreading, providing the ability to move resources to the most effective positions.

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

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

Aerial Imagery
The city-wide aerial orthophotography is a core data set for the GIS Division. Aerial imagery or orthophotography provides the picture from which many GIS data layers are created and maintained. For example, our parcels, roads, water system, wastewater system, and storm drain system GIS layers are all created and maintained using high-resolution orthophotography. Also, high-resolution imagery is a powerful visual tool when represented on maps and exhibits. It is Packet Pg. 673 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 8.0
May 1, 2025 47
important that the imagery be kept up-to-date. The most recent aerial imagery was flown prior to the Carr fire, and is therefore not a true representation of our community’s current landscape.

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

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

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

Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL)
AVL will assist each Department with the identification and tracking of first responder and emergency vehicles. During a wildfire event, it is critical for the Department Operations Center (DOC) to be able to determine the location of each vehicle so that resources can be dispatched and/or redirected to REU facilities in the most effective manner, and to identify where a vehicle is located so assistance may be provided if an employee is in danger. AVL aids in the identification Packet Pg. 674 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 8.0
May 1, 2025 48
of employee location during emergencies and allows dispatchers to warn personnel who are in the vicinity of an at-risk area.

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

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

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

A. REU Wildfire Prevention & Improved Response Program
The Wildfire Prevention & Improved Response Program aims to establish a framework for the electric utility to conduct an effective, coordinated program to prevent catastrophic impact on REU’s infrastructure from wildfire. During the 2024 calendar year, a number of goals and objectives were met as outlined within the Plan.

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

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

1. Goals
• Prevent electric utility-caused wildfires.
• Harden the system against the effects of fires.

Packet Pg. 678 Attachment: ^2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (9.5(d)-- 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update) 2025 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Version 8.0
May 1, 2025 54
• Increase technology use and reliability to promote interdepartmental coordination in the event of a wildfire caused by or impacting the Redding community. • Decrease response time for emergency responders to engage in emergencies that threaten grid infrastructure and other REU facilities.

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

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

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

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

1. Goals
• Enhanced inspections and tracking of assets.
• System hardening of key subsystems.
• Improved situational awareness.
• System improvements providing better operational practices.

E. 2024 Audit Findings

1. Audit Findings Related to CPUC Fire Threat Map
• The CPUC Fire Threat map was reviewed for changes. No boundary changes were noted for the 2025 calendar year.
• Previously modified 12kV circuits were evaluated for compliance with the mitigation recommendations to keep these circuits on the Circuit Recloser Enabled list.

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

2021 7 2 0
2022 4 1 0
2023 4 1 0
2024 4 1 0
The Plan requires REU to describe any fires greater than one acre. No fires related to REU infrastructure were greater than one acre in 2024.

Audit Finding Related to Wires Down
• A wire-down event includes any instance where an electric transmission or primary distribution conductor falls to the ground or on a foreign object:

Wires Down per Calendar Year and Fire Threat Zone
Calendar Year NHFTZ Tier 2 Tier 3
2021 2 3
2022 6 1
2023 8
2024 6 1 1

2. Identifying Corrective Deficiencies in the Plan:
• REU has not received any notice of deficiencies or potential deficiencies in the 2024 calendar year, and there are no logged deficiencies to report.

3. Monitoring the Effectiveness of the Inspections:
• Inspection reports and progress have been reviewed quarterly for overhead lines. After creating dedicated Electrical Inspector positions, completion of critical inspections has significantly improved for both overhead & underground inspections. Additionally, REU is implementing an improved software-based Workforce Management System and GISbased inspection program, to ensure that the inspections/repair process is being performed to industry best practices.
• In 2024, REU’s inspection program was audited by the CPUC. REU is taking steps to integrate the recommendations from the CPUC report into REU’s inspection program.

Lessons Learned to Incorporate into Future Plans
• In 2024 REU contracted with an outside vegetation vendor, Arbor Pro Tree Service, to complete vegetation work throughout the calendar year. In January of 2025 a new vendor has been contracted to conduct vegetation work near REU infrastructure. • In 2024 REU worked with the Redding Fire Department to determine the highest wildfire threats to the City of Redding Electric Utility’s infrastructure. An additional high-fire threat map was created addressing the greatest fire threats. Specific circuits were identified and placed into a heightened relay setting to reduce the risk of wildfires. (See map below)

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions:
(1) Adopt Resolution approving the creation of the City of Redding Utility Round Up for Recreation Program; and
(2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to appropriate funds should donations be received.

Fiscal Impact
The Round Up for Recreation Program is an optional donation campaign through the City of Redding (City) utility bills to support recreational programming, park maintenance, and development. The program will provide supplemental funding for current General Fund allocations to Community Services Department’s Recreation and Parks Divisions. The minimal administrative costs associated with the program will be covered by donations collected through the campaign, ensuring no impact to utility ratepayers.

Alternative Action
The City Council could decline to approve the campaign and provide staff with alternate direction.

Background/Analysis
Round-up style programs are common donation campaign mechanisms that enable donors to round up to the nearest dollar for the selected cause. In this case, the City’s utilities, which have over 46,000 utility accounts serving water, wastewater, solid waste, and electric customers, will provide an option to round up individual utility bills to the nearest dollar or make a direct contribution on a one-time or monthly basis. Small, optional, donations spread over the customer base will support ongoing needs in the Parks and Recreation Divisions.

Packet Pg. 689
Report to Redding City Council May 14, 2025
Re: 9.9(a)--Ordinance re Military Equipment Guidelines and Annual Update on RPD Military Equipment Page 2
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could decline to approve the RPD Military Equipment Report (Report) and the proposed ordinance, and provide staff with additional direction.

Background/Analysis
California Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), codified at Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, requires RPD to give an annual update on the funding, acquisition and use of military equipment. The first initial report was submitted to City Council on April 19, 2022, for an adoption of uncodified Ordinance No. 2647 on May 3, 2022.

A military equipment inventory report and an uncodified ordinance have been presented and approved annually since 2022.

The term “military equipment,” as used in AB 481, does not necessarily indicate equipment used by the military. Items deemed to be “military equipment” include, but are not limited to unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, breaching equipment, kinetic energy weapons and munitions, patrol rifles, tear gas/munitions, and noise flash diversionary devices. The list of items considered “military equipment” by AB 481 are used by most law enforcement agencies across the country as best practice to enhance citizen and officer safety.

Attached is the annual RPD Military Equipment Report, which includes an inventory of the military equipment maintained by RPD. The use of military equipment identified on the inventory list is vital to RPD’s mission and will continue to be strictly regulated through internal process and oversight.

RPD Policy 707 and AB 481 information has been posted on RPD’s website since March 2, 2022, for public viewing. The website includes a reporting link for concerns. There have been no citizen complaints or inquires made in the past three years regarding the use of military equipment.

In addition, RPD held a Community Meeting on Wednesday May 14, 2025, to discuss AB 481 and the equipment it maintains.

Because AB 481 requires approval from an agency’s legislative body, RPD is requesting approval to purchase up to eight additional Def-Tech 40mm Kinetic Energy Launcher systems and related equipment.

Law enforcement officers are frequently called to manage situations involving individuals who are armed, combative, or under the influence. Traditional methods of restraint—including firearms and physical force—can carry significant risks of injury or death. Less-than-lethal tools like the Def-Tech 40mm Kinetic Energy Launcher provide officers with a safer alternative to neutralize threats while minimizing harm. RPD patrol officers currently employ OC spray, tasers and beanbag shotguns. Less than lethal beanbag shotguns are in all patrol vehicles, but have limitations on effective use. The 40mm Kinetic Energy Launcher’s offer several advantages including extended range and a broader selection of non-lethal ammunition such as sponge and Packet Pg. 690
Report to Redding City Council May 14, 2025
Re: 9.9(a)--Ordinance re Military Equipment Guidelines and Annual Update on RPD Military Equipment Page 3
foam projectiles. These tools are designed to incapacitate individuals without causing lasting injury, thereby improving outcomes in high-risk encounters.

The RPD Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team currently utilizes two Def-Tech 40mm Less-than-Lethal launchers. These launchers are currently assigned to officers on the SWAT team for use in high-risk tactical situations and have been proven to be highly effective tools.

RPD is asking for approval to purchase up to eight additional 40mm Kinetic Energy Launchers to be designated for use in patrol operations, detectives, and the Special Services Unit, to increase capabilities of de-escalation and safer outcomes during daily operations which do not meet the criteria for a SWAT deployment. The grant submission for three 40mm Kinetic Energy Launcher’s would allow for each patrol supervisor vehicle to be equipped. As funding allows, RPD will purchase additional 40mm launchers to outfit the Special Services supervisor vehicles and detectives.

Environmental Review
This item is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, therefore, no further action is required at this time.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Public Safety- “Work to improve all aspects of public safety to help people feel secure and safe where they live, work, and play in the City of Redding”. • Communication and Transparency- “Improve the quality of communication with the public and City employees to enhance knowledge and increase transparency to improve public trust.”

ENERGETIC EXPLOSIVE BREACHING
CA GOVERNMENT CODE § 7070 (c)(7): Battering rams, slugs, and breaching apparatuses that are explosive in nature. This does not include a handheld, one-person ram.

EQUIPMENT CAPABILITIES: Energetic breaching is used to gain rapid access to a room or structure when an emergent law enforcement need exists. All efforts are made to minimize the amount of energetics applied to a target, while still achieving a positive breach. Energetic breaching materials are used to make breaching charges of various shapes and strength which are specifically designed for the target. The materials release gasses, heat, and light when initiated.

The pressure from the gasses released presses against mediums and/or the target to cause the structure of the target to fail for a successful breach. Breaching charges are specially designed to cause structural failure of the desired target. Various types, configurations, and energetic weights are maintained for use, as needed.

FISCAL IMPACTS: Initial startup was funded by department SWAT budget – estimated $2,500.

Future fiscal impact: 50 grain detonation cord, blasting caps and percussion primers – approximately $2,000 to $3000 per year. In 2024-25 there was no cost to the explosive breaching program.

LEGAL & PROCEDURAL RULES GOVERNING USE: Explosive breaching is commanded by the SWAT Commander and procedures are outlined under Redding Police Department Policy 404.

Explosive breaching may only occur after authorization by the SWAT Commander in the field, and during training exercises.

PURPOSE & AUTHORIZED USES:It is the standard operating procedure of the Redding Police Department Special Weapon and Tactics (SWAT) Team to utilize a SWAT team member or member of the Shasta County Bomb Team who has attended the necessary training required to provide the option of explosive breaching. Explosive breaching is a SWAT Team tactical option and can be employed when a rapid entry is critical to the success of the SWAT mission.

Explosive breaching should only be considered after other reasonable methods or procedures have been exhausted or deemed inappropriate. Explosive breaching can provide a sufficient tactical advantage which should also be considered to justify its use. An explosive breach should be viewed as a breaching tool to be used in dangerous situations with minimal risk to officers and occupants of target structures. Explosive breaching techniques may not be appropriate in all breaching situations. An explosive breach should not be employed in the following circumstances:
a. The construction of walls, doors or the building is not known. b. The location of the occupants/victims is not known.
c. There is a known presence of unstable chemicals or other incendiary materials.

TRAINING REQUIRED: Explosive breaching personnel shall train with SWAT at minimum two times annually and often enough to be proficient in the practice of explosive breaching. All explosive breaching personnel shall attend a certified breaching school.

REDDING POLICE DEPARTMENT – ANNUAL MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE REPORT (JUNE 2024– MAY 2025) MANUFACTURER PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The detonating cord is a thin, flexible plastic tube usually filled with pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN, pentrite). With the PETN exploding at a rate of approximately 6400 m/s, any common length of detonation cord appears to explode instantaneously. It is a high-speed fuse which explodes, rather than burns, and is suitable for detonating high explosives.

A blasting cap is a small sensitive primary explosive device generally used to detonate a larger, more powerful and less sensitive secondary explosive such as TNT, dynamite, or plastic explosive.

Blasting caps come in a variety of types, including non-electric caps, electric caps, and fuse caps.

OTHER: Explosive breaching equipment is utilized only by the Redding Police Department SWAT Team.

REDDING POLICE DEPARTMENT – ANNUAL MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE REPORT (JUNE 2024– MAY 2025) REMINGTON BREACHING SHOTGUN MODEL 870, 12–GAUGE &

AMMUNITION
CA GOVERNMENT CODE § 7070 (c)(7): Battering rams, slugs, and breaching apparatuses that are explosive in nature. This does not include a handheld, one-person ram.

EQUIPMENT CAPABILITIES: To quickly force entry through locked and/or barricaded doors, the department authorizes the use of the breaching shotgun. The use of the breaching shotgun allows officers to defeat doors that mechanical breaching tools would normally be unable to open.

The primary function of the breaching shotgun is for forcing entry. Although the breaching shotgun is a firearm, it has been modified for breaching purposes. Additionally, the selected ammunition is frangible and designed to defeat door locks and hinges.

FISCAL IMPACTS: Less than $250 annually funded by the department SWAT budget.

LEGAL & PROCEDURAL RULES GOVERNING USE: The use of the breaching shotgun is governed by Redding Police Department Policy 404.

PURPOSE & AUTHORIZED USES: When a decision has been made to conduct an emergency entry, the breaching shotgun may only be used when it appears reasonably necessary to prevent death or great bodily injury. Officers are also required to obtain the approval of a supervisor unless the circumstances make it impractical to obtain authorization and/or delayed response would jeopardize the safety of citizens, officers or suspect(s).

TRAINING REQUIRED: The training for the use of the breaching shotgun is governed by Redding Police Department Policy 404. All training and proficiency for the breaching shotgun will be documented by the SWAT Commander.

MANUFACTURER PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Starting with a receiver machined from an 8 ½ – pound billet of steel might not be the easiest way to build a shotgun, but the end result is well worth the extra effort. No other pump shotgun can match the Model 870's strength and smooth, effortless operation. Its legendary reliability is the heart of its popularity, as evidenced by the more than 13 million outdoorsmen, law enforcement officers, competitive shooters and home defenders who have chosen the never-say-die pump gun since its introduction in 1950. That same reliability has made the Model 870 one of the most adaptable shotgun designs ever, and the best-selling shotgun of all time.

Hornady 12 Gauge breaching round frangible ¾ oz slug is designed to fit a variety of mission applications including entry (limited penetration), breaching, and training. It features a ¾ ounce frangible sintered slug.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Direct staff to either:
(a) Draft a program to plant trees on City of Redding (City) owned property, hire a consultant to perform a nexus study, and recommend appropriate development impact fees; or
(b) Discontinue work on a tree-planting program and bring a draft ordinance incorporating the Tree Committee’s other recommendations for Planning Commission’s consideration.

Fiscal Impact
Discussing recommendations for a proposed updated ordinance will have no fiscal impact.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose to decline to discuss recommendations for the proposed updated ordinance or provide staff alternate direction.

Background/Analysis
Pursuant to Council direction, the City of Redding (City) is in the process of reviewing and updating its tree management ordinance (RMC §§ 18.45 et seq.). A Council-appointed committee has made recommendations for revisions of the tree ordinance, and staff are working to incorporate those recommendations into a draft ordinance for review by Planning Commission. Recommendation #12 from the Tree Committee is to enact a new fee as an alternative to tree preservation or replanting.

MEETING DATE: May 20, 2025
ITEM NO. 9.14(a)
FROM:
***APPROVED BY***
[email protected] [email protected]
SUBJECT: 9.14(a)--Consider Committee recommendations regarding updating the tree management ordinance to impose a development impact fee to fund tree planting on City of Redding-owned property.

Christian M. Curtis, City
Attorney
Packet Pg. 727
Report to Redding City Council May 13, 2025
Re: 9.14(a)--Proposed Municipal Code Update re Tree Management Page 2 Any new development impact fee is subject to constitutional requirements as well as California’s Mitigation Fee Act (the “MFA”). Under the MFA, when the City imposes a fee as a condition of approving a development project, it must:
(1) Identify the purpose of the fee;
(2) Identify the use to which the fee is to be put. If the use is financing public facilities, the facilities shall be identified;
(3) Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed; and
(4) Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

The MFA further requires that a fee not exceed the amount estimated to reasonably cover the cost of the service or facility provided. This is typically established through a “nexus study” performed by an independent consultant. Moreover, the City is required to keep the funds from the fees in a separate account and provide regular reporting on the status of the funds and how they are expended. Failure to meet these requirements can result in court-ordered refunds.

In this case, the Tree Committee passed a motion recommending the fee but did not specify its purpose or how it would be used. Staff inferred from the committee’s discussions that the intent was to use the fee to fund the planting of trees on City property. The purpose and specifics of such a program, however, have not been sufficiently developed to allow a nexus study.

Additionally, hiring a consultant for a nexus study was not previously budgeted, so before incurring this additional expense it is prudent to determine whether or not the Council is interested in this recommendation.

Because of this, staff is seeking Council’s direction on whether or not to adopt a program planting trees on City property. If so, then staff will endeavor to develop a recommended program in line with the Council’s purpose and commission an appropriate nexus study.

Procedurally, staff feels that it is prudent to get this guidance before the remainder of the ordinance goes to Planning Commission. Although a tree-planting program is outside of Planning Commission’s purview, it is expected that the Commission’s land use recommendations may be impacted by whether the program is adopted.

The Potential Program
At present, there are relatively few details for the proposed tree planting program. In this respect, the impact fee proposal is operating in reverse of the usual impact fee process. Typically, the City imposes impact fees because it has identified that new development will create a need for specific services or infrastructure. In this case, however, the Tree Committee’s records reflect that the fee was proposed before a specific use was identified. The report does not reflect the reasoning for this, but it appears that this may have been motivated, in part, by the fee’s potential to provide a financial disincentive for tree removal. This disincentive would not, by itself, constitute a basis for imposing an impact fee. Nevertheless, if the fee is used for a valid purpose consistent with the MFA, it does not matter if the reason for which they were initially proposed was due to their incidental deterrent value.

Packet Pg. 728
Report to Redding City Council May 13, 2025
Re: 9.14(a)--Proposed Municipal Code Update re Tree Management Page 3 If the Council wants to adopt a program, staff will need to develop sufficient specifics for a proposal to be used for a nexus study. While the Tree Committee did not develop these details, it identified a large number of benefits that trees provide, including general aesthetic value, noise attenuation, heat island moderation, soil stability, wildlife habitat, and greenhouse gas reduction.

One or more of these factors may be appropriate to incorporate into an appropriate tree planting program.

In crafting a tree planting program, it will be important to identify the priorities and goals of the program, rather than a mere list of benefits that trees provide. Under the MFA, the goals and specifics of that program will determine when and how a fee can be imposed. For example, a program that focuses on noise attenuation and soil stability in specific areas may not be able to charge an impact fee for tree removal on distant parcels. A program that focuses on heat island moderation and greenhouse gas reduction may have more flexibility as to location, but it might not be able to limit fees to specific tree species. If directed, staff can put together details for a proposed program, but in doing so, it would be helpful if the Council could provide some guidance on its priorities.

The Council should also be aware that adopting a tree planting program has some tradeoffs.

Most obviously, the program fees will impose some burden upon developers, which may have an incremental impact on development. Additionally, the City will need to consider administrative expense as well as the cost of taking long-term responsibility for the trees. In particular, the maintenance of the trees and any liability associated with them will be an obligation of the General Fund.

Liability costs are especially hard to predict, but some recent tree-related cases have seen unusually high verdicts against the City of Davis and the City of Martinez. Redding is currently defending multiple lawsuits alleging inadequate tree maintenance. The largest of these cases alleges that Redding is responsible for all damage caused by the Carr Fire inside of City limits.

Each case is unique, and the City often has good defenses to these types of claims, but even when the City prevails, the legal defense costs can be substantial. Moreover, the Council should be aware that there are fewer defenses available for an injury caused by a planted tree than by one that grew naturally.

1. PERMIT APPLICABILITY CRITERIA
o Is 6” diameter at breast height (dbh) the appropriate threshold for requiring a tree removal permit?  Should it be increased or decreased?
o Should the size be dependent on species?
o Should different zoning have different criteria?
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION #1:

At the March 20, 2023 committee meeting, Doug DeMallie motioned that the 6” dbh permit criterion be retained.  Jeff Audette seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously, with John Wilson absent, and votes are documented as follows:

Hatch DeMallie Carpenter Fisher Greene Middleton Ledger Audette Wilson Randle Yarnell Slaughter Weller Yes X X X X X X X X   X X X X
No

2. EXEMPTIONS
o Does exemption B.3 need to be revised in light of new state law?  Most single‐family lots are now under maximum density.
 Exemption B.3:   Developed residential properties which have been developed to the maximum density allowed by the zoning of the property, provided that no trees which have been specifically designated on the landmark and heritage tree plan (RMC Chapter 13.40) or which have been required to be preserved under the terms of a discretionary approval of a development project shall be removed.
o Should this section be cleaned up and clarified with language that is less redundant and easier to understand?
o In what other instances should an exemption be granted, if any? COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION #2:

At the March 20, 2023 committee meeting, Brandi Greene motioned that Exemption B.3 be modified in two ways.  First, revise language regarding “developed to the maximum density allowed by the zoning of the property” so that it specifically references the density regulations of the City’s Zoning Code.  Because of SB9, much of the City’s residential zoning is now, in fact, not developed to maximum density, and this proposed language would offer clarity.  Second, add language that excludes native oaks greater than 6” dbh from this exemption, thereby requiring a tree removal permit in such cases.  Stacey Weller seconded the motion.  The motion passed 7‐5, with John Wilson absent, and votes are documented as follows:

4. TREE PLANTING
o Should a tree species list be created?
 What species of trees will help increase the urban canopy and decrease urban heat islands?  Are there species that should be prohibited to count toward replacement trees because they are not suitable to Redding's climate, fire‐prone, provide little shade, need too much water, or cause a public nuisance?
o Should preserved trees count for more than two trees planted?  If the preserved tree is a native oak of good size and health, for example.
o Is a per square‐feet planting requirement the right method for calculating the number of trees that should be planted?
 If not, what method should be used? i.e. per tree removed, per acre developed, etc.?  What should the replacement ratio be? Should the replacement ratio be the same for all species?
o Should the planting of trees be based on canopy cover and/or shade coverage? o Should different zonings or type of development have different requirements? o Is it appropriate to include language regarding how to plant? o Do all replacement trees need to be planted on the project site?  If not, what is the minimum that must be planted onsite?  If trees can be planted offsite, how is that monitored and enforced?

5. COMPENSATION AND/OR MITIGATION FOR TREE LOSS
o Should a fee be imposed for the permitted removal of trees? o What would the purpose of the fee be?
o What trees would be subject to the fee? (e.g. any tree of a certain size threshold, only certain species, only Candidate trees)
