Funding - City of Redding Pump Station 1 Replacement Project.

Public Works Director Michael Webb highlighted the Report to City Council (staff report), incorporated herein by reference.

Council Member Audette had several questions regarding the scope of the project and stated that she assumes this will eventually increase rates for ratepayers, so is trying to better understand the project.

Director Webb noted that the total cost estimate for the project is $73 million, and reminded Council that this is a very critical project to replace Pump House 1, as it is approximately 100 years in age and has reached the end of its useful service life. It supplies the City of Redding with roughly three-quarters of its clean drinking water supply, and is the best source of water for the City, therefore, it is an absolute must that this facility be replaced.

City Manager Tippin added that the City is under a mandate to replace due to endangered species issues.

A MOTION WAS MADE by Council Member Littau, seconded by Council Member Resner, to authorize and approve the following relative to the funding of the City of Redding Pump Station 1 Replacement Project: (1) authorize the City of Redding to increase its funding request amount from the State Water Resources Control Board Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program from $40 million to $50 million; (2) authorize the City of Redding to increase its funding request amount from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Water Infrastructure Finance & Innovation Act Loan Program from $25 million to $40 million; and (3) authorize the City of Redding to increase its funding request amount from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, National Culvert Removal, Replacement, and Restoration Grant Program (Culvert Aquatic Organism Passage Program) from $6 million to $8 million.

Report to Redding City Council July 3, 2025
Re: 4.1(a)--Confirmation of Continued Local Emergency Due to Flooding Page 2 Alternative Action
The Council could choose not to confirm that conditions of a local emergency continue to exist.

Under Public Contract Code section 22050(c)(1) the local emergency can only be terminated by a four-fifths vote of the Council. To that end, the Council’s prior determination of a local emergency will remain unless an affirmative vote of the Council is made to terminate the local emergency.

Background/Analysis
On February 2, 2025, a storm event occurred in the City, ultimately causing conditions beyond the immediate control of local resources, services, personnel, equipment, and facilities. These winter storms brought heavy rain to all areas of Shasta County which in turn caused a significant increase in releases from Shasta Dam resulting in localized flooding, water rescues, and damage to roadways, trail systems, storm water systems, and other infrastructure.

Due to these events and weather conditions, a local emergency was proclaimed on February 11, 2025, and on February 18, 2025, the Council ratified this proclamation and will continue the declaration until such time that the threat of these storms has subsided, there is no longer an elevated risk to life and property, and the emergency restoration of facilities has been completed.

The local emergency was declared by the City Manager serving in his capacity as Director of Emergency Services under RMC 9.12.030. The Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services is attached.

The South Bonnyview Boat Launch access road remains closed due to the failed culvert. Staff has constructed a temporary access road for the boat launch and it is now open for public use.

Staff estimates that approximately 200 feet of the overall 700-foot-long, 10-foot diameter culvert has failed and other pipe sections have been compromised. J.F. Shea has completed the excavation to remove the 200 feet of collapsed section of pipe and is awaiting the arrival of the fiberglass reinforced pipe (FRP) which should be delivered by the end of July to early August 2025. J.F. Shea ran into excessive ground water issues while preparing to excavate for the new headwall structure and had to halt operations temporarily while they wait for materials to arrive in order to place sheet piles around the excavation to keep the water out. Sheet pile material should arrive on site the week of July 14, 2025 and J.F. Shea will start placing sheeting piles and start the excavation and installation process of the new headwall structure.

Nur Pon Open Space remains closed. The flood waters damaged the bridges, kayak boat launch area, and trails. Park’s staff performed some repairs to the open space focusing on the first walking bridge closest to the parking area, the bathrooms, the parking lot facility, and the kayak boat launch area of the park. Staff began preliminary work to import repair materials and repair bridge abutments. Staff also reset a bridge deck that was knocked off its abutments in the flood.

The majority of the walking loop will be repaired throughout July. Staff will perform additional repairs in other affected parks and open space areas and expects completion of all repair activities in August 2025.

The Parkview Sewer Siphon Repair Project located within the Linden Creek Channel was also affected by the rain events and flood waters resulting in a landslide that exposed the existing sewer siphon just west of Parkview Avenue. Currently, M5 Excavation (M5) has completed the vegetation clearing and has started operations to divert water around the work area for the new channel which includes the placement of fish rock. M5 anticipates the slope protection portion of the project to begin towards the end of July 2025.

Report to Redding City Council July 3, 2025
Re: 4.1(a)--Confirmation of Continued Local Emergency Due to Flooding Page 3 The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) has requested estimates for damages to both private and public sites. Staff has met with CalOES and has sent them information on the damage and associated costs. The current damage is estimated to be $7.15 million. This cost could go up as staff continues to monitor and identify damaged areas to determine the level of repair necessary.

Environmental Review
This activity, Confirmation of a Continued Local Emergency, is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On June 3, 2025, Council determined that the South Bonnyview Storm Drain Project and the Parkview Sewer Siphon Repair Project are exempt from review under CEQA, pursuant to Section 15269(b) – Emergency Projects. No further action is required.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution by a four-fifths vote to confirm and ratify the Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services declaring a local emergency and authorizing the City Manager to repair or replace public facilities and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes without solicitation of competitive bids in accordance with Public Contract Code 20168 and 22050.

Fiscal Impact
Adoption of the resolution could have a positive fiscal impact of an indeterminate amount as it will facilitate the recovery of the community and the receipt of emergency aid from state, and possibly federal, authorities if it becomes available.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to adopt the resolution or provide alternate direction. Failure to adopt the resolution will result in a legal finding that the local emergency has ceased and will likely negatively impact the receipt of aid from state and/or federal authorities, and the City of Redding’s (City) ability to immediately repair or replace damaged infrastructure.

Background/Analysis
On February 2, 2025, a storm event arrived in the City of Redding, ultimately causing conditions to be beyond the immediate control of local resources, services, personnel, equipment, and facilities. These winter storms have brought heavy rain to all areas of Shasta County which in turn have caused a significant increase in releases from Shasta Dam resulting in localized flooding, water rescues, and damage to roadways, trail systems, storm water systems, and other infrastructure.

been fully assessed. The current forecast calls for continued storms and additional snow and rainfall which could further exacerbate the damage and increase the difficulty of recovery efforts.

As the rain continues, the Bureau of Reclamation will be required to continue its high releases from Shasta Dam. There is potential for additional local flooding and infrastructure damage.

Due to these events and weather conditions, a local emergency was proclaimed on February 11, 2025, and it is recommended that the Council ratify this proclamation and continue the declaration until such time that the threat of these storms has subsided, there is no longer an elevated risk to life and property, and the emergency restoration of facilities has been completed.

The local emergency was declared by the City Manager serving in his capacity as Director of Emergency Services under RMC 9.12.030. The Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services is attached.

Pursuant to Government Code section 8630, the Proclamation is valid for seven days. As such, if the Council does not act to adopt a resolution which confirms and ratifies the existence of a local emergency, the declaration of local emergency made under the Proclamation will lapse. A declaration of local emergency provides several benefits in time of emergency. Under Government Code section 8634, it permits a local agency to immediately promulgate orders and regulations necessary to protect the public health and safety. It further permits the State and local agencies to provide mutual aid to the City and makes the costs of such aid incurred by other agencies chargeable to the State. Lastly, the declaration of local emergency facilitates payment to the City by the State under the Disaster Assistance Act (Gov. Code section 8680 et seq.).

The resolution contains all the needed findings to continue the declaration of local emergency under the California Emergency Services Act (Government Code section 8550 et seq.). In the absence of action under Public Contract Code, the Council could declare an emergency under the California Emergency Service Act by a simple majority vote.

However, the resolution also seeks authorization under RMC 4.22.120 and Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050. As such, a fourth-fifths vote of the Council will be required to adopt the resolution. These sections provide authority which the Government Code, addressed above, does not. Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050 collectively provide authority to repair or replace a public facility, and procure the necessary equipment, services and supplies for those purposes without competitive bidding. While notice and competitive bidding are very beneficial in non-emergency situations, these processes are entirely too untimely if we are to immediately protect the public health and safety by restoration of public services and facilities. This is necessary due to the immediate need to repair or replace the 120-inch culvert that failed at the entrance to the Reginato Boat Ramp. This ramp serves as a critical entry point for river access for public safety agencies to effectuate river rescues and to access areas along the river that are otherwise inaccessible. Additionally, river guides and other river related businesses utilize this ramp extensively and prolonged closure will cause significant economic hardship as well as impeding life saving efforts by the Redding Police Department and the Shasta County Sheriff.

It should be noted that RMC 4.22.120 delegates authority to the City Manager to make a finding that the emergency will not permit the delay resulting from a competitive solicitation of bids and that immediate action is necessary to respond to the emergency. However, that authority is only valid for a period of seven days. By making this finding now by means of adoption of the resolution, the Council avoids the unfortunate circumstance whereby the immediate action sought by the City Manager to repair or replace public infrastructure will lapse absent an Packet Pg. 255 Packet Pg. 58 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - 021825 Declaring local emergency (4.1(a)--Confirmation of Continued Local Emergency Due to Flooding) Report to Redding City Council February 12, 2025

immediate, emergency Council meeting. In order to ensure Council oversight, RMC

4.22.120(C)(1) requires review of action under Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050 at every regular meeting until such time as the emergency ceases.

In summary, the resolution serves two important functions. It facilitates coordination with other public agencies assisting the City in responding to the local emergency and is a necessary precondition to receipt of state and federal aid. It also provides authority to the City to use its own resources in accomplishing repair or replacement of damaged public infrastructure in a timely and efficient manner while ensuring Council oversight of all such activity.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve the Funding Agreement with the Superior California Economic Development District (SCEDD) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026, for economic development planning and business development services; and authorize payment to SCEDD in the amount of $18,117 for FY 2025- 26 activities.

Fiscal Impact
Funding for the Superior California Economic Development District (SCEDD) Funding Agreement (Agreement) is included in the City of Redding’s (City) 2025-2026 Biennial Budget within the General Fund to cover the cost of the Funding Agreement in the amount of $18,117.

Alternative Action
The City Council could decline to participate in SCEDD, or provide alternate direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
On March 12, 1979, the City entered into a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) establishing SCEDD.

SCEDD acts as a liaison to the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) for a fourcounty district that includes Shasta, Siskiyou, Trinity, and Modoc Counties. In this role, SCEDD is a facilitator for EDA grant programs and other economic development assistance.

SCEDD is primarily supported by an annual investment from the EDA with a required matching investment from SCEDD based on the region’s level of economic distress as periodically determined by the EDA. Each member county and incorporated city (Member) assessments are determined and invoiced annually using a formula derived through averaging the most current population and assessed valuation figures for each respective member. Assessment funds provide the cash match for the EDA Annual Planning Grant.

Report to Redding City Council July 8, 2025
Re: 4.2(a)--Funding Agreement-Superior California Economic Development District Page 2 SCEDD’s mission is to create jobs through local and regional economic planning and direct business financing through the following activities:
▪ Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) - SCEDD is responsible for the CEDS, a locally-based, regionally-driven economic development planning process and document. It identifies locally-based strategies that guide regional economic development, encourages partnerships and collaboration, and improves economic outcomes and overall quality of life. An effective CEDS enables the region to engage with the EDA and other federal partners to receive grants; ▪ Business Development Loan Program - Since 1980, SCEDD has been building up a portfolio of revolving business development loan funds for businesses within the district.

Currently, our portfolio holds nearly $8.6 million in available funds for lending purposes; and
▪ Certified Development Company - SCEDD is certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration to market, package, fund, and service SBA 504 loans statewide. While this activity does contribute to the SCEDD mission within the District, the program services are offered state-wide and generate unrestricted retained earnings for SCEDD, which are then dedicated to the SCEDD mission within the district.

SCEDD provides valuable economic assistance to the City, leveraging its contribution for federal grant money.

This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act and no further action is required.

Re: 4.2(a)--Funding Agreement-Superior California Economic Development District Page 2 SCEDD mission is to create jobs through local and regional economic planning and direct business financing through the following activities:
▪ Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) - SCEDD is responsible for the CEDS, a locally-based, regionally-driven economic development planning process and document. It identifies locally-based strategies that guide regional economic development, encourages partnerships and collaboration, and improves economic outcomes and overall quality of life. An effective CEDS enables the region to engage with the EDA and other federal partners to receive grants; ▪ Business Development Loan Program - Since 1980, SCEDD has been building up a portfolio of revolving business development loan funds for businesses within the district.

Currently, our portfolio holds nearly $8 million in available funds for lending purposes; and
▪ Certified Development Company - SCEDD is certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration to market, package, fund, and service SBA 504 loans statewide. While this activity does contribute to the SCEDD mission within the District, the program services are offered state-wide and generate unrestricted retained earnings for SCEDD, which are then dedicated to the SCEDD mission within the district.

SCEDD provides valuable economic assistance to the City, leveraging its contribution for federal grant money.

CITY OF REDDING

(5) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to negotiate and execute the License Support Provider Agreement Contract with Dell Marketing L.P.

Fiscal Impact
Terminating the Licensed Support Provider Agreement with Insight Public Sector, Inc. and awarding Bid Schedule No. 5556 to Dell Marketing L.P. (Dell) will increase the City of Redding’s (City) Microsoft 365 annual license costs from $386,332.21 to $403,824.72.

Pricing for licenses is per person, per year with pricing standardized for a three-year term, in accordance with the bid. It is subject to an annual true up based on the number of users at the established prices. The established prices include:

Report to Redding City Council July 10, 2025
Re: 4.3(a)--Award of Bid Schedule No. 5556 Microsoft 365 Annual Licenses Page 2 The cost of these licenses was partially included in Budget Resolution No. 2025-021 in the amount of $386,340. The difference of the prior award and this award is $17,492.51 – this amount will be funded by what is existing for Microsoft 365 Licenses in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose to not award the bid to Dell Marketing L.P. and provide alternate direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
Microsoft no longer has perpetual licensing for its products. The existing Microsoft products in use at the City will no longer be supported by Microsoft in October of 2025 causing critical security risks and reduced program performance. In order for staff to have access to essential programs like Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Excel, upgrading to Microsoft 365 is necessary.

Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based model. The County of Riverside Enterprise Licensing Agreement (Riverside ELA) enables government entities in California to purchases licenses through authorized Microsoft Vendors. This allows government entities to have more affordable access to licenses that have the required government compliance and security features.

The City, utilizing the Riverside ELA, directly solicited seven firms known to engage in this type of service. On February 25, 2025, the City received three bids - the lowest responsive bidder was Insight Public Sector, Inc. with annual licensing cost of $386,332. Insight Public Sector withdrew their bid on July 8, 2025. The next lowest responsive bidder is Dell with annual licensing cost of $403,825. If approved by Council, the City Manager or designee will utilize the Riverside ELA to negotiate the final form of the agreement with Dell and process the agreement for signatures.

Hi Rachel/Tony,
After discussions with our Microsoft teams, we’ve made the difficult decision to ask to withdraw our bid for the Microsoft licenses with the City.

My sincere apologies for not being able to do better.

I will be on PTO between 7/29/25 and 8/12/25.

Re: 4.3(a)--Authorize and Approve items related to Microsoft 365 Migration Page 2

In order to migrate to Microsoft 365, the City requires a Consulting & Professional Services Agreement for Professional Implementation Services. The one-time fiscal impact of these services is $494,050. This one time cost is using current Information Technology reserves and the ongoing costs will be included in future budgets. It is estimated that approximately 30% of this cost is attributable to the General Fund.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose to not award the bid to Insight Public Sector, Inc. and provide alternate direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
Microsoft no longer has perpetual licensing for its products. In order for staff to have access to essential programs like Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Excel, upgrading to Microsoft 365 is necessary. Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based model and the County of Riverside Enterprise Licensing Agreement enables government entities in California to purchases licenses through authorized Microsoft Vendors which enables government entities more affordable access to licenses that have the required government compliance and security features.

The City, utilizing the County of Riverside Enterprise Licensing Agreement, directly solicited seven firms known to engage in this type of service. On February 25, 2025, the City received three bids - the lowest responsive bidder was Insight Public Sector, Inc. with annual licensing cost of $386,332.

In order to migrate to Microsoft 365, the City directly solicited 14 firms known to engage in professional implementation services for Microsoft 365 migrations. The request for proposal was also advertised in the local newspaper, as well as posted on the City’s website. On December 2, 2024, the City received proposals from 10 firms. The review team, comprised of two seasoned IT Supervisors, the Cyber Security Officer, a Marketing and Communications professional, and the City’s most senior System Administrator, found the firm with the most acceptable proposal based on technical merit and reasonable fee schedule was Insight Public Sector.

The project start date is mutually determined by Insight and the City, with a twenty-business day lead time to allow for scheduling. The project will take thirty-two weeks based on the initial assessment of the environment and scope of work. The beginning weeks of the project include in-depth review and assessment of the systems that will be impacted, network infrastructure and any other factors that may impact time lines of the project.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following relative to Bid Schedule No. 5599 – 15kV and 25kV cable for the Redding Electric Utility:
(1) Award Bid Schedule No. 5599 to The Okonite Company for an annual evaluated price of $2,543,200.00;
(2) Authorize the Purchasing Officer to extend the bid award annually with The Okonite Company through June 30, 2029, if mutually agreeable, with allowed price adjustments, and all terms and conditions remaining the same; and
(3) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to approve an additional $1,017,280.00 per contract year as a contingency to account for unforeseen cost escalations.

Fiscal Impact
The purchase of 15kV and 25kV cable was included in Redding Electric Utility’s (REU) General System Improvements Fiscal Year 2025-27 Biennial Budget and the Overhead/Underground Infrastructure Replacement Project for the Electric Utility Line Construction Services.

In the five-year plan presented to the City Council (Council) in June 2025, funding for this, including General System Improvements, was anticipated to be funded by bond proceeds. If capital expenses associated with these efforts are projected to exceed the approved budget, staff will return with recommendations for any necessary budgetary adjustments.

Due to ongoing economic uncertainty in the U.S, vendors cannot reliably project future tariff rates. The requested contingency includes the standard 20 percent allowance for unforeseen cost escalations, including but not limited to tariffs, freight increases, and global supply chain disruptions, as well as an additional allowance to cover a potential 20 percent tariff on imported materials associated with this bid. If such a tariff is enacted, the City Manager will direct staff to amend the purchase agreement to reflect any resulting cost increase. If, during the term of the agreement, market conditions or tariffs drive material costs above the awarded price plus MEETING DATE: July 15, 2025

If mutually agreeable terms cannot be reached, staff will cancel the award and initiate a new bid solicitation process.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to award the bid to The Okonite Company and provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
This is a routine annual bid for the purchase of 15kV and 25kV cable on an as-needed basis, subject to the availability of budgeted funds. These materials are required to support residential and commercial development and provide emergency replacement of the existing 15kV and 25kV underground cable presently in service.

On Thursday, June 12, 2025, staff received five bid proposals. In the evaluation process, staff analyzed the bids based on the bid price and compliance with specifications. The lowest responsive bid was submitted by The Okonite Company, which supplies the needed 15kV and 25kV cable and is compliant with the specifications, general conditions, and proposal requirements. One lower-priced bidder was disqualified due to non-compliance with key technical specifications. The Okonite Company is a trusted supplier and has previously supplied 15kV and 25kV cable to REU.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve the First Amendment to the Consulting and Professional Services Contract with the Redding Chamber of Commerce for Professional Tourism and Destination Marketing Services (C-8915) thereby reducing the contract to $650,000 annually and extending the contract term five-years to June 30, 2030; and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the contract.

Fiscal Impact
The First Amendment to the Consulting and Professional Services Contract (First Amendment) with the Redding Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) reduces its annual compensation from $1,000,000 to $650,000, resulting in $350,000 in annual savings for the General Fund.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to approve the First Amendment or provide staff with alternate direction.

Background/Analysis
At its March 13, 2025, Budget Workshop meeting, the Council approved reducing the amount of compensation for tourism and destination marketing services provided by the Chamber. Since that time, Chamber and staff have negotiated the scope of work and terms of the contract that will correspond to the reduced compensation. The resulting First Amendment is attached.

Report to Redding City Council July 8, 2025
Re: 4.6(a)--Approve Tourism Contract Amendment Page 2
Highlights of the First Amendment include:
• Reducing the annual compensation by $350,000 to $650,000; • A renewed contract term of five years commencing July 22, 2025, and terminating June 30, 2030;
• Adjustments to key performance indicators and tasks in a revised scope of work that reflects the lower budget;
• A new visitor spending growth target of at least two percent annually and 10 percent cumulative by 2030; and
• A new Transient Occupancy Tax increase target of at least two percent annually and 10 percent cumulative by 2030.

Staff believes these adjustments may accomplish similar short-term results as the previous scope of work, but long-term growth could stagnate without additional funding for more expensive campaigns and ad placements.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve the five-year Consulting and Professional Services Contract for Professional Tourism and Destination Marketing Services with the Greater Redding Chamber of Commerce in the amount of $1 million annually, through June 30, 2026; and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract and appropriate the related funding.

Fiscal Impact
The contract amount is $1 million annually for five years. The General Fund supports the services through Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to approve the agreement and direct the staff with an alternate direction. This action would require a new solicitation, a re-direction of internal marketing resources, or a significant reduction in tourism marketing efforts.

Background/Analysis
At the June 15, 2010, City Council meeting, the City Council approved a service agreement to operate the Redding Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) and provide visitor marketing services for the City of Redding, privatizing the CVB which had been a City department for many years. At the January 21, 2020, Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to prepare a Request for Proposal/Qualification to openly solicit bids for tourism marketing and promotion services. City Council subsequently awarded the contract to the Greater Redding Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) at the April 6, 2021, City Council Meeting.

Re: 4.6(d)--Approve Agreement with Chamber of Commerce for Tourism Promotion and Destination Marketing Page 2
The goal of this agreement is to establish Redding as a desirable tourist destination by those outside of Shasta County while also promoting a vibrant, exciting, and active community to those that reside in Shasta County. The contract identifies the key deliverables and metrics required of the Greater Redding Chamber of Commerce to be presented to the City on a recurring basis. The Chamber is expected to market and promote Redding in an innovative and exciting way while showing strong return on investment across multiple platforms using key metrics to support creative decisions.

The Redding Tourism and Marketing Group (RTMG) has determined that the past performance report data is confidential information and, therefore, did not provide the necessary data to developed effective performance metrics for the new contract. Once the Chamber is under contract with the necessary reporting services, the data can be retrieved to set positive growth goals. These new performance measures and goals will be brought back to the City Council for approval in October along with the Strategic & Branding Plan, logo and tag line.

Key points of the agreement are outlined below:

Compensation, Term and Termination
• An annual $1 million fee

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve Community Services Advisory Commission’s (CSAC or Commission) recommendation that the City Council authorize staff to negotiate a contract extension with Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association (SCWA) and Redding Tourism Marketing Group (RTMG) for the operation of the Redding Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (RCVB) utilizing the framework recommended by CSAC and described in the staff report.

Fiscal Impact
There is no new fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. Currently, the General Fund supports the Redding Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (RCVB) through Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue of approximately $1.4 million annually.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could direct staff to prepare a new Request for Proposals and solicit bids from other firms, or it could choose to modify the staff’s recommendation based upon discussion and deliberation.

Background/Analysis
At the CSAC meeting on October 21, 2019, the commission appointed two of its members to serve as a subcommittee for the purpose of forming a recommendation to the City Council relative to the contract with the Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association (SCWA) and the Redding Tourism Marketing Group (RTMG) for operation of the RCVB that expires on June 30, 2020 (attached). The commissioners chosen to represent CSAC on the subcommittee were Ericka Jones and Denise Yergenson.

Re: 9.4(d)--Extension of Contract; Convention & Visitor's Bureau Operations Page 2 The subcommittee and City staff met with numerous stakeholders in the community, as well as RTMG board members and the RCVB’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO). These meetings provided the opportunity to discuss successes that the current arrangement has had in marketing Redding as a tourist destination, as well as things that could be amended under a new contract moving forward.

The subcommittee and staff discussed three different ways in which to move forward:

1. Create a Request for Proposals (RFP) and solicit bids from destination marketing firms across the US.

2. Utilize City staff to oversee the functions of the RCVB internally.

3. Amend and extend the existing contract with SCWA and RTMG.

The subcommittee is recommending a combination of options two and three above. The recommendation is that the current contract be amended to eliminate outdated requirements and include new provisions for enhanced community coordination and collaboration. City staff and CSAC would play an increased role in preparing the annual marketing plan and ensuring broad participation in destination marketing and city-wide marketing efforts. The following is a list of items that form the framework from which the new contract with SCWA and RTMG would be negotiated.

1. Improve the RMTG’s public relations efforts to better communicate and cooperate with community stakeholder groups.

2. Increase collaboration with local attractions, businesses, and design professionals in the development of a marketing plan facilitated by a destination marketing consulting firm, including a staff-appointed marketing committee (comprised of stakeholders) that will assist in the creation of an annual marketing plan, deliverables, and success metrics that are to be forwarded to CSAC for annual recommendation and also evaluated quarterly.

4. Remove language that puts obsolete restrictions on how the RCVB operates its business.

5. Negotiate a ninety (90) day “out” provision that can be exercised by either party.

6. Include requirements and expectations of the marketing committee for marketing to overnight visitors, and to promote the City to locals, developers, and investors by “telling our story.”

7. Require that RTMG and the marketing committee develop a “Style Guide” with fonts, colors, taglines, hashtags, etc. that can be utilized by the City and partner organizations to create a consistent look and feel for Redding’s brand across multiple marketing platforms.

8. Establish clear and measurable metrics (in addition to TOT revenue gains) to determine when marketing efforts have been successful.

9. Budget and reporting expectations should be made clear. City will provide a template for RCVB to use.

10. City staffing resources must be increased in order to provide oversight of marketing activities, enhanced community collaboration, and better contract management. These funds should be subtracted from the amount currently given to the RTMG for tourism marketing.

11. The contract should be extended prior to the end of term (June 2020) for two years.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Award the Consulting and Professional Services Contract for Professional Tourism, Marketing, and Promotion Services based upon the presentations of the three recommended finalists from the Request For Qualifications (RFQ) solicitation No. 5190, and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract and appropriate the related funding.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to accept any of the proposals. This action would require a new solicitation, a re-direction of internal marketing resources, or a significant reduction in tourism marketing efforts.

Background/Analysis
At the January 21, 2020, City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to convene relevant stakeholders to gather input in advance of preparing a Request for Proposal/Qualification to openly solicit bids for tourism marketing and promotion services. Four meetings were held with a variety of stakeholders from hotels, attractions, restaurants, arts and culture organizations, film and public relations firms, local businesses, and special event planners. The feedback received was instructive and guided the preparation of the Request for Qualifications (RFQ).

Re: 9A--Selection of Consultant for Tourism Marketing and Promotion Services Page 2 On December 15, 2020, the City Council unanimously approved both the RFQ document and the appointment of Mayor Resner and Vice Mayor Schreder to serve on the review committee with Community Services Advisory Commissioners Denise Yergenson and Ericka Jones along with two members of City staff. The RFQ was published on January 11, 2021. This solicitation represented the first time the City of Redding (City) has sought proposals through an open and competitive process for tourism marketing services. On February 19, 2021, the City Clerk accepted 18 completed proposals from local and national firms.

The selection committee reviewed all eighteen proposals independently and rated them using the rubric included in the RFQ. This process resulted in reducing the pool of firms from 18 to five.

The five firms were invited to present their proposals to the selection committee via Zoom conference on March 19, 2021. Following the presentations, the group rated the firms and shortlisted the firms to a top three – Augustine Agency, Mayes Media, and Redding Chamber of Commerce. The three firms have been invited to make twenty-minute presentations to the City Council.

The goals for the Strategic Planning and Operations of Destination Marketing Services contract are to:
• Drive visitation and increase travelers and visitor expenditures; • Establish the rebrand of Redding in the minds of current residents, potential visitors, and travelers;
• Demonstrate how the rebrand will integrate with the City of Redding’s existing advertising, social media, and website;
• Establish consistency in photography and messaging that underpin the true experience of Redding and result in return visitors; and
• Recruit film and media production work to Shasta County.

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.”

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution declaring July 2025 as Parks and Recreation Month in the City of Redding.

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

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose not to adopt the Resolution proclaiming July 2025 as Parks and Recreation Month and provide staff alternate direction.

Background/Analysis
Since 1985, Americans have celebrated Parks and Recreation Month in July to promote the importance of parks and recreation in health and well-being, conservation, and to recognize the thousands of parks and recreation employees and volunteers who maintain our nation’s parks.

With creative and relevant recreation programming, group activities, and natural play spaces, people of all ages and abilities can gather in these spaces.

The City of Redding (City) prioritizes parks and recreation as an important community service.

The City’s parks system includes 61 developed parks and facilities encompassing over 597 developed acres. This system includes nearly 297 acres of natural area parks, 47-plus miles of City-owned trails, and 16 special-purpose facilities. Among these special-purpose facilities are the Redding Civic Auditorium, which hosts cultural and performing arts programs, conferences, and conventions, the Redding Sports Park, three boat ramp facilities that provide access to fishing and water activities, and close to 1,000 acres of natural open space.

Re: 4.6(b)--Resolution to Declare July as Parks and Recreation Month Page 2 In 2024, Redding Recreation provided services to 15,758 registrants in approximately 848 program sessions, with volunteers contributing over 5,700 hours as coaches, event assistants, maintenance workers, and helpers as needed. The Redding Aquatic Center served the community during the 2024 summer season by offering classes and open swimming sessions to approximately 34,000 guests. In addition, the Recreation Division provided over 300 scholarships for youth to participate in recreational programming throughout the year.

This year's Parks and Recreation Month theme, “Build Together, Play Together”, perfectly celebrates the many ways parks and recreation professionals across the country foster a sense of community by providing programs, essential services for all ages and abilities, and safe, accessible spaces. The community is encouraged to follow the City and Redding Recreation on social media, as well as share their own parks and recreation stories by using #BuildTogetherPlayTogether.

Along with the National Recreation and Parks Association, the City invites community members to explore everything the local parks and recreation offers this July and throughout the year.

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

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• 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.”

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to the purchase of vehicles and accessories by the City of Redding’s Community Services Department:
(1) Approve and ratify the City Manager’s approval of the purchase of one Kenworth T480 (purchase order PUR002704), using Sourcewell contract pricing, and an accessories body (purchase order PUR002705) in the combined amount of $210,944.75; (2) Authorize the purchase of one Caterpillar 309 Excavator using Sourcewell contract pricing in the amount of $213,411.29;
(3) Authorize the City Manager to increase the purchase price by up to ten percent of the Kenworth T480 and/or Caterpillar 309 excavator, if necessary, to complete the purchase; and
(4) Find that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities and Section 15304 – Minor Alterations to Land.

Fiscal Impact
The equipment purchases are part of the Community Services Department’s $1,546,413 California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s Wildfire Prevention Grant Program (Cal Fire WPG Program) grant for fire fuel mitigation efforts. The grant will fully fund the purchase of the equipment, which will facilitate the vegetation management activities by Parks Division staff. There is no impact to the General Fund and no match is required for this grant program.

Alternative Action
Council could choose not to authorize or ratify the purchases and provide staff with alternate direction.

Packet Pg. 151
Report to Redding City Council July 7, 2025
Re: 4.6(c)--Authorize and Ratify Purchases of Vehicles and Equipment Page 2 Background/Analysis
In August 2024, the City of Redding (City) was awarded $1,546,413.20 from the Cal Fire WPG Program for vegetation management and reduction of fuel loads on City-owned properties for the City’s Priority Hazardous Fuel Management Project (Project). The grant funds will be used to pay for personnel, contractors, and equipment.

The Community Services Department began recruiting efforts to form a second fire fuels mitigation crew housed within the Parks Division to carry out this project. To properly equip the new crew, staff must now purchase the equipment as outlined in the grant application. Both the excavator and truck are crucial to the completion of the scope of work, greatly improving the speed at which fire fuel efforts progress. Following the completion of this effort, the equipment can be used for future projects and efforts. Future endeavors include Redding Electric Utility’s fuel mitigation efforts, park and open space maintenance, and the Housing Division’s Mitigation Resilient Infrastructure Program grant.

The current market conditions and variability of tariffs placed additional urgency on the purchase of the Kenworth T480. To stay on budget and avoid an imminent $10,000 tariff, staff completed the purchase order on June 27, 2025, and now seek a ratification of the purchase. The truck purchase price was $150,959.21. However, the truck will be outfitted with the Ampliroll hookloader system, which will enable the truck to be a multipurpose tool that can be outfitted with various bed and equipment packages. The system reduces the City’s need to own multiple purpose-built trucks in lieu of an interchangeable roll-off system. The accessory equipment costs $59,985.54 and is included in the overall purchase price of the truck with accessories at $210,944.75. The truck will move equipment to projects and haul away materials and debris.

The Caterpillar 309 Excavator will include a masticating head that greatly improves the speed at which fire fuel can be effectively managed. The piece of equipment and attachments comes at a cost of $213,411.29. The purchase will continue to be used to perform fire fuel maintenance projects after the grant scope is completed. To ensure procurement flexibility in the event of tariff increases, supply chain disruptions, or manufacturer price adjustments, staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to approve a price increase not to exceed ten percent, if necessary.

These units are available under a Sourcewell competitively bid contract. Sourcewell develops national competitive solicitations that meet or exceed local standards, and offers its members the benefits derived from cooperative purchasing. Using the Sourcewell cooperative contract to purchase saves significant staff time needed to prepare bid specifications and solicit individual quotations from vendors. The City also receives a price discount due to economies of scale realized through the volume of purchases on a multi-agency cooperative contract. The purchase of the excavator is through Peterson Cat, a local dealer, using the Sourcewell contract. When soliciting quotes from other dealers, staff found the Sourcewell pricing provided a $5,000 discount.

Environmental Review
Staff has reviewed the project and determined that it is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities and Section 15304 – Minor Alterations to Land. Class 1 exemptions include the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing structures, facilities, and Packet Pg. 152
Report to Redding City Council July 7, 2025
Re: 4.6(c)--Authorize and Ratify Purchases of Vehicles and Equipment Page 3 topographical features. Class 4 exemptions consist of minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation. The existing open space areas will be cleaned up and fire fuels will be removed to lower the potential for fire in the wildland-urban interface. Mature healthy trees will be trimmed and protected. The project will result in no expansion of use, and the project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s Wildfire Prevention Grants Program award in the amount of $1,546,413.20.

Fiscal Impact
In August 2024, the City of Redding (City) was awarded $1,546,413.20 from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s Wildfire Prevention Grant (CAL FIRE WPG) Program for vegetation management and reduction of fuel loads on City-owned properties for the City’s Priority Hazardous Fuel Management Project (Project). The grant funds may be used to pay for staff costs, contractors, and equipment.

No match is required for this grant program. However, the grant agreement requires the City to complete the scope of work and furnish any funds necessary to complete the Project. Staff does not anticipate needing additional funds beyond the grant award to complete the scope of work outlined in the grant. The Project will potentially span over the next one to two years, and the work will be done by either contractors or hiring City staff. Staff will weigh options and determine which will be the most cost efficient and successful model. If hiring additional City staff is the preferred model, the Community Services Department will return to City Council (Council) to request additional positions.

Alternative Action
The Council could decline to accept the funds from this grant or provide staff with alternate direction. Due to staff workloads and expense, designated sites identified below would not be able to be cleared without the funding this grant provides.

Re: 4.6(a)--Accept CAL FIRE Wildfire Prevention Grant Page 2 Background/Analysis
The CAL FIRE WPG Program provides funding for wildfire prevention projects and activities in and near fire threatened communities that focus on increasing the protection of people, structures, and communities. Funded activities include hazardous fuel reduction, wildfire prevention planning, and wildfire prevention education with an emphasis on improving public health and safety while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The funding allows the City to reduce fire fuels on City-owned property identified as having high fuel loads. The Project includes four key sites at the north end of Redding for a total of approximately 305 acres that require work to remove vegetation and prevent undesired resprouting of invasive vegetation. Activities include reducing hazardous fuel loads in great at-risk areas, followed by annual grazing. After initial treatments, undesired re-sprouted vegetation will be treated with appropriate herbicide applications. During treatments, areas will be re-evaluated to determine if additional fuel reduction is needed.

The proposed activities are consistent with the CAL FIRE WPG Program’s mission to avoid or reduce the severity of potential wildfires, thereby limiting greenhouse gas emissions. The funds from this grant will allow the identified sites to be cleared such that City staff would be able to adequately maintain the locations upon completion of the project. In addition, the grant funds are available to purchase equipment that can be used for future fuel reduction efforts.

Environmental Review
Accepting the CAL FIRE WPG Program funds is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required. If accepted, staff will process the applicable CEQA determination based on the eligible locations and scope of work.

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.”

Project Description Summary
Please provide a paragraph summarizing proposed project including the location, habitable structures, acres treated, etc.

The Priority Hazardous Fuel Management Project is a vital piece in the City’s overall strategic plan to reduce and maintain hazardous fuels on City property that have significant potential for spreading a catastrophic wildfire. As part of this comprehensive approach to managing vegetation, the proposed project will be a valuable contribution toward increasing the health and safety of the Redding community as well as neighboring jurisdictional areas. The proposed project includes four key sites at the north end of Redding for a total of approximately 305 acres. This acreage is a substantial portion of the 711 acres identified in the larger strategic plan. The project is intended to protect habitable structures as well as critical infrastructure on or directly near the site. Critical infrastructure includes but is not limited to; electric and transportation infrastructure, water systems, fire stations, and surrounding residential subdivisions. Additionally, sites have been frequently accessed for encampments in the community.

Targeting the sites will aid in reducing spread of wildfire from or into these areas. The proposed project involves reducing hazardous fuel loads in great at-risk areas, followed by annual grazing. After initial treatments, undesired re-sprouted vegetation will be treated with appropriate herbicide applications. During treatments, areas will be re-evaluated to determine if additional fuel reduction is needed. Following the grant, the City intends to utilize currently funded vegetation management teams to maintain the project area. The City will also continue to seek resources to treat additional areas identified within the City’s hazardous fuels reduction strategic plan.

The City of Redding (City) Priority Hazardous Fuel Management Project is a vital piece in the City’s overall strategic plan to reduce and maintain hazardous fuels on City property that have significant potential for rapidly spreading a catastrophic wildfire. As part of this comprehensive approach to managing vegetation on problematic City-owned properties, the proposed project will be a valuable contribution toward increasing the health and safety of the Redding community as well as neighboring jurisdictional areas.

The project included in this proposal for funding includes four key sites at the north end of Redding for a total of approximately 304 acres. This acreage is a substantial portion of the approximately 712 acres identified in the larger strategic plan. The project is intended to protect habitable structures as well as critical infrastructure on or directly near the site. Critical infrastructure includes but is not limited to; electric utility infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, water systems, fire stations, and surrounding residential subdivisions. In addition, sites have been frequently accessed for encampments in the community. Targeting the sites will aid in reducing the spread of wildfire from or into these areas and improve first responder access within these dense vegetation areas.

The proposed project involves reducing hazardous fuel loads in high-risk areas, followed by annual grazing. After these initial treatments, undesired re-sprouted vegetation will be treated with appropriate herbicide applications. During the treatments, areas will be re-evaluated to determine if additional fuel vegetation reduction should be performed. Following the grant, the City intends to utilize currently funded vegetation management teams to maintain the project area. The City will also continue to seek resources to treat additional areas identified within the City’s hazardous fuels reduction strategic plan.

The City will heavily utilize the purchased equipment for vegetation management during the duration of the grant and after. The mini skid steers will be used for mowing flashy light fuels and grabbing material to be hauled to the chipper. These machines are lightweight, have low impact on the soil, and their compact size allows them to get into tight places where the larger equipment can’t travel and make the crew more efficient. The excavator masticator will be used on sloped areas where our already City-owned skid steer masticator cannot access. This machine can mulch brush and small trees into wood chips to be left on site. We have rented similar equipment, but it is very niche and not always available from local rental yards. The purchase will allow us to utilize on our schedule and be the most efficient. The dump truck and trailer are utilized to transport the excavator and mini skid steers, which our staff has the appropriate CDL’s to operate. Lastly is the F-350 crew truck, which would provide daily transport for the staff to the job site, allowing them to tow smaller trailers or the City’s spare chipper to perform vegetation management duties.

The benefit of purchasing this equipment is that the City will now have these resources after the grant to perform additional vegetation management activities on new parcels, and equally importantly, maintain the parcels completed by this grant. Our fleet shop will be responsible for maintenance of the equipment in the future and they have an excellent reputation of making our equipment last. Also, at the time of purchase, generally, the City of Redding purchases extended warranties on larger equipment to ensure protection in the cause of an unfortunate and premature failure does occur.

The project will be a great step forward towards reducing the risk of catastrophic fire in the City to a level that can be maintained by current resources. Results expected from the project include a safer community, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions brought about by catastrophic wildfire, and a vegetation management model for private landowners in the City.

Primary Activity Type
Hazardous Fuels Reduction
Hazardous Fuels Reduction

1. Describe the geographic scope of the project, including an estimate of the number of habitable structures and the names of the general communities that will benefit.

The project involves hazardous fuel treatment on approximately 304 acres within City boundaries. As a vital piece of the City’s overall hazardous fuels management strategic plan, the project is expected to reduce the risk of catastrophic fire within Redding city boundaries as well as to adjoining and nearby public and private lands.

Established in 1887 and with over 61 square miles within its boundaries, the City of Redding is one of California’s largest cities north of Sacramento.

Redding is a low-income community that is home to approximately 93,611 residents. As the county seat of Shasta County, Redding serves an estimated 179,223 residents from surrounding communities. As of July 2022, the City had 37,338 structures in its borders including extraneous buildings on residential lots.

The 2018 Carr Fire was a large wild fire that started west of Redding in Shasta County. Approximately three days after the fire started, it entered the City of Redding causing the evacuation of approximately 38,000 Redding residents. In total, the fire burned 229,651 acres before it was contained on August 30, 2018. The Carr Fire destroyed at least 1,604 structures. Two hundred eighty structures within the City limits were destroyed. The Carr Fire cost over $1.659 billion in damages, including $1.5 billion in insured losses and more than $158.7 million in suppression costs. Most importantly, eight lives were lost during this massive wild fire. By targeting high-risk sites within the City of Redding for vegetation management our goal is to reduce catastrophic impacts on the Redding community as well as Shasta County as was experienced during the Carr Fire.

While the proposed project focuses within the boundaries of ten City-owned properties with dense vegetation, the benefits will be realized by the entire population of Redding and potentially beyond. Many residents, commercial businesses, critical infrastructure and key ingress and egress routes sit on the border of the wildland urban interface and as fire typically does not stop at dividing lines between management boundaries.

Benefits of this project will be realized at a landscape level.

2. Describe the goals, objectives, and expected outcomes of the project.

As part of the City of Redding’s ongoing risk reduction efforts, the City consulted historic fire data and tree canopy studies to identify properties having high wildfire risk. The properties included in this proposal and the larger strategic plan, are those identified as having both high ignition risk and high fuel loads. Many of the identified sites are near larger areas of dense vegetation. If fires were to ignite within these key sites, there could be significant threat from the impacts of fire to critical infrastructure and residential areas throughout the City. There is also the potential that if fire was to occur, it could spread to wildland areas outside city boundaries. Conducting proactive vegetation management as proposed, would mitigate fires spreading within the City of Redding. Additionally, the project would reduce the risk of fires spreading between properties within city boundaries, and outside areas.

Treating and managing the proposed 304 Acres on the priority properties as planned in this proposal will reduce the intensity and spread of fire while providing defensible space to assist in firefighting efforts during an incident. This project is aims to complete the fire step of a larger vegetation management plan for the City of Redding which is compromised of over 700 acres in total. This is done by modifying vegetation with thinning and removal of hazardous vegetation. These activities dovetailed into other City fire risk reduction activities including the Community Wildfire Protection Plan currently in development, will move the City toward compliance with PCR 4291. Outcome of these projects are focused on the protection of critical infrastructure and roadways, better management of evacuations, and first responder access. As a vegetation management model, the proposed project’s ultimate outcome will be to provide safety to our community and set a standard for best practices in high-fire severity zones.

3. Provide a clear rationale for how the proposed project will reduce the risks associated with wildfire to habitable structures.

The project being proposed is strategically aligned for the purpose of lessening the impacts of a future fire originating north of the City of Redding during a North wind event in the fall months. Congruently, if a fire originates in one of the proposed project treatment areas or a parcel that is contiguous to a treatment area, the project work will reduce fire spread - a true win/win scenario.

Historically, Shasta County has fought large fires during the fall months during north wind events. Notable examples include the Jones Fire 1999, The Zogg Fire 2020 & The Fawn Fire 2021. These types of fires are wind driven and present large amounts of risk to fire suppression personnel.

The most effective way to mitigate future wind driven fires is to manipulate the “fuels” component of the wildland fire triangle (fuels, weather & topography).

The proposed Priority Hazardous Fuel Management Project is a defensive mitigation with the supposition that the City of Redding will be impacted by a significant fire event. This event would originate North of town, burning in a cardinal direction towards the south with wind as the most significant factor in fire spread. This type of fire will affect federal, state, and local government lands as well as those privately held. In addition to the loss of life and property, hazardous smoke will directly impact the population of the City of Redding and Shasta County residents that live in the path of smoke disbursement.

The City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan notes the significant risk that wildfire poses to structures within the City. “The City of Redding has multiple scenarios in which wildfire could severely and aggressively impact homes and structures in the very high fire hazard severity zone, primarily on the west and north sides of the City. One such scenario of a potential wildfire in the north area affecting a single neighborhood, could destroy 131 or more structures and result in a conservative estimated loss of over $100,721,633 in direct property damage. The fire in this scenario would only have to achieve less than 1,000 acres in size to create this amount of destruction if emergency resources were drawn down and the weather conditions were ripe for such an event”.

The proposed Priority Hazardous Fuel Management Project begins by reducing hazardous fuel loads in significant at-risk areas, and then follows up with annual grazing o f the areas. After these initial treatments, undesired re-sprouting vegetation will be treated by appropriate herbicide applications. During these treatments, areas will be re-evaluated to determine if additional work removing fuel loads should be done. Following the grant, the City intends to utilize currently funded vegetation management teams to maintain the properties. Removing and maintaining the fuel, as proposed in this project, will contribute to reducing fire spread, protecting infrastructure, assisting suppression efforts, and saving lives. Promoting the project throughout the community as a model for fuel reduction will amplify and sustain these benefits.

4. Identify any additional assets at risk from wildfire that will benefit from the proposed project. These may include, but are not limited to, domestic and municipal water supplies, power lines, communication facilities and community centers.

The project involves a multi-stepped approach to reduce hazardous fuel loading on ten City of Redding-owned properties that have significant potential for rapidly spreading a catastrophic wildfire. Many of the identified sites have critical infrastructure on or directly near the site. These include but are not limited to; surrounding residential subdivisions, fire stations, electric utility infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, and water systems.

The proposed project will reduce fire risk to the City electrical system and critical water and wastewater infrastructure through direct risk reduction and by better ensuring 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.

As shown on the attached project map, just some of the major critical infrastructure facilities which would benefit include:
- Fire Station 6
- Sulphur Creek Electric Substation
- Beltline Electric Substation
- Two future electric substations sites
- Vital transportation corridors including Interstate 5, State Highway 273, and the main north-south rail line for both Amtrak and the Union Pacific Railroad
The proposed project would reduce risk to the above infrastructure as well as to the Sacramento River which runs through the city.

5. How will the project/activity utilize the left over woody biomass? Will the project/activity use a biomass facility to reduce greater greenhouse gas emissions?
All work preformed would be supervised by Parks staff to ensure safety and that the project goals are being met. Debris from vegetation management will be chipped and left onsite whenever possible so as to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. Disposal by pile and burning will only be used when there are site and access limitations. The project does not include transporting material to a biomass facility.

Packet Pg. 187 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - December 03, 2024 Item 4.6(a) (4.6(c)--Authorize and Ratify Purchases of Vehicles and Equipment)

6. Does the project include grazing as a component of the hazardous fuels reduction project? Yes

7. How many acres of the project will be treated by prescribed grazing? 200

8. Please describe the specific grazing goals, expected grazing challenges, any environmentally sensitive areas, and the project contingency plan.

The aim of grazing is to eliminate flashy fuels and re-sprouted vegetation in targeted areas. We anticipate no unforeseen difficulties because we have already dealt with similar issues during previous grazing projects. Our current grazing contractor's scope of work includes a provision for additional fencing to prevent goats from entering restricted areas. We have also assessed the sites for environmental sensitivity and found no significant areas. If any issues do arise, the impact will be minimal.

Section II
Degree of Risk

1. Discuss the location of the project in relation to areas of moderate, high, or very high fire hazard severity zone as identified by the latest Fire and Resource Assessment Program maps.

The high priority City-owned properties included for vegetation management in this proposal are located within the northern end of the city and are entirely within Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ). As shown on the Fire and Resource Assessment Program State Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zones map, Redding is almost entirely surrounded by VHFHSZ, and High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (HFSZ). The combination of the high amount of VHFHSZ and HFHSZ, local conditions and climate change pose a significant risk for Redding citizens and City infrastructure.

Redding typically experiences cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers creating extreme fire weather conditions especially from May through October. 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.

2. Describe the geographic proximity of the project to structures at risk to damage from wildfire in the WUI.

Notably, the proposed project includes sites that are all within or immediately adjacent to, the CAL FIRE/City of Redding Mutual Threat Zone (MTZ).

While no habitable structures are directly within individual priority property site boundaries, many of the project sites have critical infrastructure within or nearby these properties including, but not limited to, surrounding subdivisions, electric utility features, transportation corridors, and water systems.

Each of the sites have met specific criteria for the need to reduce hazardous vegetation. Most of these sites are directly in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) and are adjacent to residences and critical infrastructure. Additionally, sites are located near right of ways and experience other issues like illegal camping and dumping. Of great importance for the safety of our citizens, are the transportation routes that many of the sites border. The proposed project will, in part, reduce risk from wildfire along the Union Pacific Railroad mainline, Interstate 5, and regional arterials.

Reducing the risk to transportation infrastructure is of great value as these routes could act as vital evacuation routes.

Section III
Community Support

1. Does the project include any matching funds from other funding sources or any in-kind contributions that are expected to extend the impact of the proposed project?
While not incorporated into the budget, project match includes CEQA review, and public relation (PR) activity. The PR efforts are expected to elicit media attention and garner further outreach. It is also anticipated that the impact of the project will be extended through encouraging additional hazardous fuel reduction within the city.

Additionally, the City has secured $60,000 Encampment Resolution Program funding to purchase small equipment and supplement staffing for vegetation management in the Sulphur Creek area that is within the proposed project. The City Housing Division is also applying for a direct allocation of Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funding in the amount of $357,150 to utilize City-wide for wildfire mitigation measures.

Packet Pg. 188 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - December 03, 2024 Item 4.6(a) (4.6(c)--Authorize and Ratify Purchases of Vehicles and Equipment)

2. Describe plans for external communications during the life of the project to keep the effected community informed about the goals, objectives and progress of the project. Activities such as planned press releases, project signage, community meetings, and field tours are encouraged.

The public will be educated on the importance of the project by delivering information related to previous and potential wildfires with facts related to acres burned, number of regional fires, and property loss. The project's goals, objectives and progress will be communicated to the community throughout the life of the grant so as to keep the public informed, engaged and educated on hazardous fuel management best management practices. To encourage the public to follow the example set by the project work, we will provide a continuous stream of information and lay the groundwork for future vegetation mitigation requirements.

The City will employ its external strategic communication plan to educate the community on the project. Messages will be also guided by the outreach and public involvement strategy that is being developed as part of the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) currently in development.

A variety of communication and outreach tools will be used including traditional media, social media, stakeholder support, community and regional education, public meetings, and related events.

Methods to be used for communication include:
• Community meetings and events
• Press Releases
• Public Service Announcements
• E-Communications
• Social media marketing - Nextdoor, Twitter(X), Facebook, Instagram, podcasts • Project signage at meetings and community events

3. Describe any plans to maintain the project after the grant period has ended.

An outcome of this grant will be bringing hazardous fuels on the priority properties to a load level that the City can sustain with existing allocated funds. The fuel reduction activities and acquisition of equipment provided by the grant will make this possible. At the close of the grant, the City will have the resources necessary to maintain the priority properties at a reasonable fuel load.

Packet Pg. 189 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - December 03, 2024 Item 4.6(a) (4.6(c)--Authorize and Ratify Purchases of Vehicles and Equipment)

4. Does the proposed project work with other organizations or agencies to address fire hazard reduction at the landscape level? As discussed below, the proposed project is consistent with local and regional strategic plans that address risk reduction at a local and landscape level.

CALFIRE Shasta Trinity Unit 2023 Strategic Fire Plan:

As part of CAL FIRE’s Pre-Fire Management Strategies, the plan states: “CAL FIRE's goal is to contain 95 percent of all wildfires at 10 acres or less.

Fire ignition data, such as fire cause and location, can reveal whether the unit has met this goal. Determining causal trends can direct the unit to specific prevention efforts to change the causal trend. Knowing where most fires occur helps determine where prevention and pre-fire engineering efforts might produce the greatest result”. The project is consistent with this objective as the proposed vegetation management activities are focused on properties identified and prioritized after analyzing where fires occur, and where mitigation activities would produce the greatest risk reduction.

COR 2022-2027 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP):

The City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan meets the requirements of Section 322 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. The plan includes the goal of reducing the possibility of property damage and life losses due to wildland fires. The proposed project is consistent with this goal and the related LHMP’s Objectives of:
• Reducing the probability of fire ignitions, and
• Educating the public about wildland fire dangers and the steps that can be taken to prevent or minimize their effects.

City of Redding Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP):

The City of Redding is currently developing its first CWPP, with a draft expected summer 2024. All sites incorporated in the proposed project have been identified for inclusion in the CWPP. As a result of the field and aerial surveys that have been conducted, all sites are expected to rate high during the upcoming priority setting process.

REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP):

Redding Electric Utility (REU) adheres to a comprehensive system-maintenance and tree-trimming program in accordance with CPUC standards. In addition, Senate Bill 901 from 2018 required all utilities in California to prepare and submit wildfire mitigation plans. A significant component of the WMP is the REU Wildfire Prevention and Improved Response Program. 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. The Program provides funding to the Redding Fire Department and the Community Services Department for services rendered to prevent the start of wildfires. Funding is used for fuels reduction as well as for faster response in the event of a wildfire. The proposed project will build upon and strengthen the risk reduction provided through REU’s program.

Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) Resilient Shasta Extreme Climate Event Mobility and Adaptation Plan:

SRTA’s plan included a vulnerability assessment of the region’s transportation infrastructure. The plan noted that extreme increases in wildfire probability and severity are expected in the future, including areas with key transportation infrastructure. The plan urges that appropriate fuel management be implemented near critical transportation infrastructure. The proposed project will, in part, reduce risk from wildfire along the Union Pacific Railroad mainline, Interstate 5, and regional arterials. Reducing the risk to transportation infrastructure is of great value as these routes could act as vital evacuation routes.

Section IV
Project Implementation
Packet Pg. 190 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - December 03, 2024 Item 4.6(a) (4.6(c)--Authorize and Ratify Purchases of Vehicles and Equipment)

1. Discuss the anticipated timeline for the project. Make sure to take seasonal restrictions into account.

Directly after receiving funding, the City of Redding Parks Department would begin recruitment for the full-time field staff responsible for managing the City of Redding initial treatment acreage. During this time the current Parks Superintendent would begin procurement of the equipment requested in this grant. Also, the CEQA notice of exemption would be filed with Shasta County as soon as we received notice of award.

After the initial few months, in-house COR Staff will be ready to start physically clearing these properties. During this clearing we will have minor seasonal restrictions to deal with. Those would include red flag warning days, and winter storms. To combat red flag warning days, we shift our working schedule to start earlier in the day and limit work to hand tools with water and fire suppression tools on site. During winter storm’s we again limit work to hand tools so that machinery isn’t getting stuck while areas are saturated with water. Since Redding’s winters are pretty mild, we get dry periods where we can still run machinery. Effectively planning and scheduling is our best method to work around these seasonal restrictions. This has proven to be a successful approach with our current fire fuels mitigation crew that works specifically for Redding Electric Utility completing a similar scope of work in and around the electric infrastructure.

Upon completion of the initial clearing we will begin the transition into our grazing phase. We anticipate this initial phase to last 8 to 10 months.

Currently the City of Redding uses a goat grazing contractor to graze wildland areas around Redding Electric Utility facilities and green belts throughout the city. Our grazing season would last for approximately 3 months to graze all of the proposed acreage. Before beginning our grazing campaign, we will be sure to extend our current contract. We don’t anticipate facing any seasonal restrictions during this time. However, the most efficient time for grazing happens during late spring early summer. This creates control of the light flashy fuels for the entire duration of the fire season. Because of this we plan to condense all of our grazing into this timeframe. We’ve already talked with our current goat grazing contractor and he is fully equipped to handle grazing all of the acreage during this time frame.

We anticipate a 12-15 month timeline to complete the initial work for all of these sites, providing plenty of time for successful completion prior to the March 15, 2030 end date of the grant. Finally, in following years as we transition into maintenance work and herbicide treatments, on these sites, we would apply for additional funding through CAL Fire to maintain the areas. We recognize that maintenance is just as important as the initial treatment as we have already seen with our current vegetation management crew funded through REU.

2. Verify the expected timeframes to complete the project will fall under the required completion dates depending on the source of the funds awarded.

We already have an existing fire fuels mitigation crew that specifically focuses their attention around our electrical utilities and right of ways. We used their average annual production over the past three (3) years to build our timeline for this grant. Depending on if all of the grant or just a portion is awarded, we can use that same matrix to scale our goals and ensure successful completion of this grant.

3. Please list the milestones that will be used to measure the progress of the project. • Press Release on award of grant.
• Development of outreach plan.
• Hiring of in-house crew for the COR responsible vegetation management for the project • Procurement of equipment that aids in vegetation management activities • Tracking and ensure COR labor is achieving 304.37 Acres for the grant with quarterly progress reports • Renew our current grazing contract to ensure we have a contractor for grazing operations • Tracking grazing progress and ensuring goats are achieving successful fuel reduction within the 200 acres targeted for grazing.

4. Please list the measurable outcomes (i.e. project deliverables) that will be used to measure the project’s success. • Hiring of in-house crew for the COR responsible vegetation management for the project • Pictures of equipment being used that aids in vegetation management activities • GIS tracking and ensure COR labor is achieving 304.37 Acres for the grant with quarterly progress reports • Before and after pictures of each project site showcasing the work of COR staff and the transformation and reduced fire threat. Each set of pictures will include the site ID and acreage.
• GIS tracking grazing progress and ensuring goats are achieving successful fuel reduction within the 200 acres targeted for grazing with monthly progress reports once grazing has begun.
• Before and after pictures of the grazed acreage. Each set of pictures will include the site ID and acreage. • At the end of the grant period provide initial before pictures showing the overgrown and unmanaged land with significant wildfire risk, and after pictures showing the treated acreage with less fire threat. Each set of pictures will include the site ID and acreage. • Reporting of outreach activities including education/outreach materials.

Packet Pg. 191 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - December 03, 2024 Item 4.6(a) (4.6(c)--Authorize and Ratify Purchases of Vehicles and Equipment)

5. If applicable, how will the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) be met? The City of Redding has already been working with their Environmental Compliance Manager on the CEQA process. After reviewing the sites anticipated to be completed within this grant and following the scope of work for the grant we will complete a Notice of Exemption for CEQA. This document is already drafted and ready to be turned into the clearinghouse once we receive notice of award. Should any cultural or biological resources be discovered, those areas will be avoided during the project.

6. List any existing forest or land management plans; Conservation Easements; Covenant, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&R’s); matters related to zoning; use restrictions, or other factors that can or will limit the wildfire prevention proposed activity? There are no known factors that will limit the proposed wildfire prevention activities.

Section V
Administration

1. Describe any previous experience the project proponent has with similar projects. Include a list of recent past projects the proponent has successfully completed if applicable. Project applicant or manager having no previous experience with similar projects should discuss any past experiences that may help show a capacity to successfully complete the project being proposed. This may include partnering with a more experienced organization that can provide project support.

The City of Redding has a successful record of accomplishment in administering grants and completing large grant projects. The City’s Community Services Department employs a full-time Project Manager to apply for and help administer grants and projects. The City of Redding Parks Department’s Parks Superintendent is experienced with in-house project supervision and management. Recent and ongoing City projects are listed below, with award date, agency, program, amount and status.

Year / Agency, Amount, Status

2. Identify who will be responsible for tracking project expenses and maintaining project records in a manner that allows for a full audit trail of any awarded grant funds.

A portion of the Project Coordinator position will be responsible for tracking project expenses and maintaining records. That person will have support and general oversight from the City of Redding’s Finance Department. The Parks Superintendent will be responsible for monitoring and measuring progress goals, as well as, working with the Project Coordinator to ensure field staff have the supplies they need, while also staying within the budget of the project.

Section VI
Budget
A detailed project budget should be provided in the online budget included in this solicitation. The space provided here is to allow for a narrative description to further explain the proposed budget.

Packet Pg. 192 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - December 03, 2024 Item 4.6(a) (4.6(c)--Authorize and Ratify Purchases of Vehicles and Equipment)

1. Explain how the grant funds, if awarded, will be spent to support the goals and objectives of the project. If equipment grant funds are requested, explain how the equipment will be utilized and maintained beyond the life of the grant.

If awarded the grant, funds will directly go into hazardous fuel reduction and maintenance of the 304.37 acres on 10 City-owned parcels. Funding will be split between two primary functions - City of Redding staff performing vegetation management, and goat grazing. The key to our vegetation management plan is revisiting these 10 parcels with grazing and herbicide treatments with our qualified applicators to ensure long-term vegetation control. Too often, entities thin vegetation and don’t return to that site for three to five years. Many times, in those later years, the site is just as hazardous as it was initially. Our comprehensive plan will ensure these sites stay maintained in the future.

The benefit of purchasing this equipment is that the City will now have these resources after the grant to still perform additional vegetation management activities on new parcels, and equally importantly, maintain the parcels completed by this grant. Our fleet shop will be responsible for maintenance of the equipment in the future and they have an excellent reputation of making our equipment last. Also, at the time of purchase, generally, the City of Redding purchases extended warranties on larger equipment to ensure protection in the cause of an unfortunate and premature failure does occur.

2. Are the costs for each proposed activity reasonable for the geographic area where they are to be performed? Identify any costs that are higher than usual and explain any special circumstances within the project that makes these increased costs necessary to achieve the goals and objectives of the project.

The costs of the proposed activities are within reason for our geographic location. The price per acre for goats is already contracted with the City of Redding, and we have been utilizing this same contract for over the past four years. Regarding the cost per acre for City of Redding staff to perform vegetation management, this is derived from our success in REU’s vegetation management program, where we currently perform the same scope of work. The City crew is dynamic and holds the appropriate licenses and certifications to operate heavy equipment, apply herbicides, and drive large commercial vehicles.

3. Is the total project cost appropriate for the size, scope, and anticipated benefit of the project? The City of Redding believes the cost is appropriate for the size of the grant. This grant will manage vegetation on over 304 acres of City-owned property identified in this proposal and will be vital for performing work in the City’s larger strategic fuels management plan. This will significantly provide a long lasting benefit to our community since each of the 10 locations selected have specific criteria for the need to reduce hazardous vegetation. Most of these sites are directly in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) adjacent to residences and low-income areas.

4. Please list each object category amount that you are requesting and the detail of how that would support meeting the grant objectives.

Packet Pg. 193 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - December 03, 2024 Item 4.6(a) (4.6(c)--Authorize and Ratify Purchases of Vehicles and Equipment) In Employee Benefits, the budget includes a total of $256,284.80 for the benefits associated with each position included in the Salary & Wages Category.

In Contractual Expenses, the budget includes $181,000 for a goat grazing contract. The grazing will follow the initial hazardous fuels reduction that the City’s ground crew will perform. It will eliminate flashy fuels and re-sprouted vegetation in targeted areas.

In Supplies, the budget includes a total of $40,000. Specifically, the budget includes:
• $4,000 for PPE including but not limited to hard hats, chaps, gloves, ear plugs, safety glasses, rain gear, and steel or composite toe work boots. • $2,000 for handheld tools to help reduce ladder fuels, gather downed material and prevent a fire if one should start during work. • $11,200 for Chainsaws to remove and reduce ladder fuels. • $6,000 for weed eaters to remove light flashy fuels from sites • $2,000 for blowers used to clean up roadsides and other areas of travel when debris is left behind while moving equipment or doing work adjacent to areas the public uses.
• $4,000 for Hedgers to remove brush like poison oak and blackberry. • $1,000 for fire prevention/suppression backpack pump sprayers. • $1,200 for backpack herbicide pump sprayers.
• $4,000 for herbicide to prevent regrowth on sites where vegetation has been removed. • $4,600 for 2 walk-behind brush mowers used to mow larger brush areas.

In Equipment, the budget includes a total of $700,000 to purchase fuel reduction equipment.

Specifically, the budget includes:
• $160,000 for two Mini Skid Steers with attachments for the purpose of moving material and mowing flashy fuels. • $225,000 for one Excavator with attachments for the purpose of masticating larger fire fuel materials. • $225,000 for one Dump Truck for the purpose of transporting equipment to and from job sites as well as hauling of larger fuels that cannot be chipped on site.
• $10,000 for one 14k GVWR Trailer for the purpose of transporting mini skid steers, brush mowers and other equipment to and from job sites. • $80,000 for one F350 Crew Truck for the purpose of transporting the crew and equipment to and from job sites.

Equipment Maintenance and Disposition:

Maintenance will be scheduled and performed by hours, miles or days as required by the OEM for each particular piece of equipment or vehicle.

Safety inspections on all vehicles are performed as required by law (90 days, 6 months or annually).

Disposition: Equipment is replaced at a time that an asset has added up to 15 points as determined by the Point Scale Replacement Comparison Plan that was originally developed for Collier County, Florida using the American Public Works Association Managing Public Equipment, Special Report 55 as a guide. The 15 points are determined by age, miles or hours, and 65% of the maintenance cost to purchase cost. When the asset is auctioned off it goes to the City of Redding’s auction company. Once the asset is sold the profits from the sale go back into that departments rolling stock fund.

5. Does your project include the purchase of capital equipment (more than $5,000 per item)? Yes

6. Provide a cost-benefit analysis to justify the purchase of equipment versus leasing Most heavy equipment providers offer a three (3) year lease-to-own option, which provides a lower payment upfront and the potential to purchase the equipment in the final year. The monthly lease payment costs vary on the annual hours your contract permits you to use the equipment. If you exceed the yearly hours, you are required to pay additional charges. While leasing is a good option for private companies and non-profits, government agencies can participate in cooperative purchasing agreements such as the California Multiple Awards Schedules (CMAS) or Sourcewell. These agreements offer competitively bid discounts on materials and equipment. For the equipment we are looking to purchase, on average, the manufacturers (i.e. Caterpillar & Kubota) provide a 20%-30% discount off MSRP. This discount translates to much more significant savings than the lease or lease-to-own option since it provides ownership into the future, giving us the resources to continue maintenance into the future. The City feels leveraging the initial purchase discounts help carry out the goals of the grant and benefits the City in the future by removing hazardous vegetation.

California Climate Investments
The space provided here is to allow for a narrative description to further explain how the project/activity will reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions.

1. How will the project/activity reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions? Wildfires release carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gases (GHG) that contribute to climate change. Activities implemented through the proposed project will promote GHG emission avoidance through reducing the risk of wildfire. Although it is impossible to quantify the amount of emissions that will be avoided because of the project, it is believed that significant emission avoidance will result. Additional benefits include reduction of hazardous smoke, and encouragement of carbon sequestration through appropriate land management.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following:
(1) Adopt Resolution ratifying the City of Redding’s application to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s Wildfire Prevention Grants Program in the amount of $1,546,413.20 submitted on January 10, 2024; and (2) Authorize the City Manager to appropriate funds should the grant be awarded, and execute any agreements necessary to implement the project.

Fiscal Impact
The City of Redding’s (City) California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s Wildfire Prevention Grants (CAL Fire WPG) Program’s application requests $1,546,413.20 for vegetation management and reduction of fuel loads on City-owned properties for a project known as the City of Redding Priority Hazardous Fuel Management Project (Project). No match is required for this grant program. The project would potentially span over the next two to three years.

Alternative Action
The City Council could decline to apply for the funds under this grant opportunity or provide staff with alternative direction. Due to staff workloads and expense, these sites would not be able to be cleared without the funding this grant could provide.

Background/Analysis
The CAL Fire WPG Program provides funding for wildfire prevention projects and activities in and near fire threatened communities that focus on increasing the protection of people, structures, and communities. Funded activities include hazardous fuel reduction, wildfire prevention planning, and wildfire prevention education with an emphasis on improving public health and safety while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Re: 4.2(b)--CAL FIRE Wildfire Prevention Grant Program Page 2 The funding, if awarded, will allow the City to remove fuels on City-owned property previously identified as having high fuel loads. The Project includes four key sites at the north end of Redding for a total of approximately 305 acres that require work to remove vegetation and prevent undesired re-sprouting of invasive vegetation. Activities include reducing hazardous fuel loads in great at-risk areas, followed by annual grazing. After initial treatments, undesired resprouted vegetation will be treated with appropriate herbicide applications. During treatments, areas will be re-evaluated to determine if additional fuel reduction is needed.

The proposed activities are consistent with the Cal Fire WPG Program’s mission to avoid or reduce the severity of potential wildfires, thereby limiting greenhouse gas emissions. The funds from this grant, if awarded, would allow the identified sites to be cleared such that City staff would be able to adequately maintain the locations upon completion of the project.

Environmental Review
Submitting an application to the Cal Fire WPF Program is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required. If awarded grant funds, staff will process the applicable CEQA determination based on the eligible locations and scope of work.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 1
st Amendment to City Budget Resolution No.
2025-049 appropriating $50,000 of the City of Redding’s (City) Park In-Lieu fund for the City’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Center Remodel Project.

Fiscal Impact
Community Services Department staff is requesting to appropriate $50,000 in Park In-Lieu Southwest Quadrant fees for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Center Remodel Project (Project). Fee revenue is used to acquire necessary parkland, develop new parks, or increase the capacity of existing facilities. Preconstruction activities for the MLK Center project is an appropriate use of these funds.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could decline to adopt the budget resolution for the remodel project, which would require the Community Services Department to find an alternate funding source to complete the remodel project, or provide staff with an alternate direction.

Background/Analysis
On March 15, 2022, Council approved an expenditure plan for the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), allocating $560,000 for upgrades and enhancements to the MLK Center. These funds were designated for modernizing the facility, with renovation plans aimed at updating both the interior and exterior to reflect the vibrant activities that take place within the MLK Center. The City contracted with RAD Studio Architect, Inc. (RAD Studio) of Redding to assist with the design. The original scope included interior upgrades such as new flooring, painting, and remodeling of the MLK Center’s library and office spaces. For the exterior, enhancements MEETING DATE: July 15, 2025

focused on creating a single-entry point for visitors, new HVAC, developing shaded outdoor program areas, and providing an overall aesthetic upgrade to welcome visitors.

During the June 4, 2024 Council Meeting, a resolution was approved to redirect previously allocated ARPA funding to prioritize government operations. The report presented detailed projections of budgets and anticipated expenditures throughout the ARPA program. Regarding the MLK Center, the report reflected an allocated budget of $560,000 and a projected expenditure of $125,000, leaving $435,000 to complete the remodel project. At the November 19, 2024, meeting, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-094 to reallocate unspent ARPA funds within the compliance period. Since the MLK Center remodel project was neither completed nor fully encumbered, and no grants had been secured, there was a risk of the ARPA funding timeline expiring, so the funds were reallocated.

Staff could not complete the remodel project in time as the design process was extended to avoid expending funds on improvements that would require modification or reconstruction in the future as the rest of the MLK Center is improved. For example, a planned bathroom remodel would need to be undone in the future when modifications require American’s with Disabilities Actcompliant improvements and an expansion. To avoid phasing issues, staff rescoped the agreement with RAD Studio to include the original scope as well as accessibility upgrades, minor facility expansions, kitchen improvements and more. The revised remodel project scope represents a master plan that can be accomplished in phases, ensuring funds are spent wisely and in a sequential order. As a result, staff has been actively researching opportunities to secure additional grants to support this broader range of improvements at the MLK Center.

The original budget of $560,000, which was intended to fund the design and construction of the improvements, was ultimately reduced by $394,160, leaving a remaining balance of $165,840 to be spent on the design. Because ARPA funding needed to be encumbered by the end of 2024, staff was only able to fund the design contract with existing ARPA funds. Now, as the draft plans require multiple reviews and approvals to move toward construction, the remodel project requires a funding source for the City’s Public Works Engineering staff time required to review and complete the project plans. Therefore, staff is requesting the appropriation of $50,000 to complete the development of the plan set.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required. On December 6, 2022, Council found that the remodel project is categorically exempt from review under the CEQA Guidelines, per Sections 15301(d) – Existing Facilities, 15302(c) – Replacement or Reconstruction, and 15303(d & e) - New Construction or Conversion of Existing Structures.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions for the City of Redding:
(1) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 31
st Amendment to City Budget
Resolution No. 2021-078 appropriating $2,272,250 for Fiscal Year 2021-22 and $2,601,690 for Fiscal Year 2022-23 for mid-year budget adjustments; and (2) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 32
nd Amendment to City Budget
Resolution No. 2021-078 appropriating $17,593,440 of ARPA funding for Fiscal Year 2021-22.

Fiscal Impact
The recommended changes will allow the General Fund to meet the City Council (Council) directive of maintaining a ten percent reserve. The other recommended changes will not reduce reserve levels below those required in the respective funds.

Alternative Action
The City Council could choose to reject the budget resolutions and request additional information or provide direction relative to recommended budget changes.

Background/Analysis
On February 17, 2022, the Council conducted a budget workshop (workshop), which included a presentation of the current state of the General Fund financial plans, and received staff recommendations regarding a short- and long-term expenditure plan regarding the newly identified available funding. The presentation included recommendations to changes in Sales Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) that could fund new General Fund services. As part of this presentation, there was a separate discussion on ARPA funding. This staff report will identify some minor changes between funding mechanisms while maintaining the overall integrity of the enhancement to services proposed at the February 17, 2022, meeting.

Re: 9.10(b)--Mid-Year Budget Adjustments including ARPA & Budget workshop info Page 2 Revenues
Sales Tax
As discussed at the budget workshop, Sales Tax revenue through January 2022 has increased by $1,665,137 or 9.6 percent year over year and is $1,952,631 or 11.5 percent above budget projections. As a result of the performance of Sales Tax, staff is recommending a change of the projected Sales Tax revenue to $31,983,000 for Fiscal Year 2021-22 and $33,207,000 for Fiscal Year 2022-23. Staff projected these revenues by using the actual receipts through January and increasing the original budget projections by three percent for Sales Tax for all remaining periods. The City engages the services of MuniServices to help analyze and project Sales Tax.

Staff recommendations are below the most recent projections provided from MuniServices for Sales Tax.

Transient Occupancy Tax
During the budget workshop, Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) was also identified as a revenue performing above original budget projections. TOT through January 2022 has increased by $1,634,893 or 46.6 percent year over year and is $1,840,991 or 55.7 percent above budget projections. Due to the performance of TOT revenue, staff is recommending increasing original budget projections to $7,241,000 in Fiscal Year 2021-22 and $7,530,000 for Fiscal Year 2022-

23. Staff projected TOT revenue using actual receipts through January and increasing it by four percent for all remaining periods.

Other Revenues
Revenues in the Planning and Building Divisions continue to perform strongly and indicate a need for increased staffing. Staff is recommending increasing Building Division revenue projections in Fiscal Year 2022-23 by $68,700 to recognize the revenue performance and help the department align its staffing needs with the current workload demands. Staff is recommending increasing Planning Division revenue projections in Fiscal Year 2022-23 by $51,270 to recognize the performance of the revenues and help the department align staffing needs with the current workload demands.

Additionally, General Fund is transferring $500,000 to the Airports Division to complete a concept and budget study for a potential new terminal at Redding Municipal Airport.

During the budget workshop, additional contributions to rolling stock were recommended for both the Police and Fire Departments. Rolling stock provides an account where funding can be placed in order to allow departments to meet future needs at the time in which they are identified.

For the Police Department, staff recommends increasing the rolling stock contributions by $300,000 for Fiscal Year 2021-22 and $150,000 for Fiscal Year 2022-23. For the Fire Department, the increase is recommended for $500,000 in Fiscal Year 2022-23, which will be utilized immediately to purchase a type 3 fire engine. This funding will help both departments better address short- and long-term needs in rolling stock.

There are two sets of recommendations, the first includes recommendations from the budget workshop on February 17, 2022, and the second includes changes that are similar to what is found in a typical mid-year budget request. The first chart includes budget changes from the budget workshop on February 17, 2022.

There are some areas that are slightly changed from the recommendations made during the budget workshop presentation. These changes are due either to projects that will require future action by the Council or the fact that some recommendations are funded through ARPA. Due to restrictions within the ARPA guidelines and the associated timing concerns of the expenditures originally recommended within ARPA, staff made adjustments in order to comply with the desires of the Council. The ARPA section of this report will provide more explanation of the exact changes that are referenced.

The following chart is a breakdown of the additional budget modifications request. Following the chart will be a brief discussion on these expenditures.

Non-Departmental is requesting additional funding in each fiscal year for dues for League of California City membership. The cost was slightly over the original budget projection and this adjustment covers the increased cost. Additionally, Non-Departmental is requesting an additional $250,520 for the Council Chambers audiovisual technology upgrades. The City Council Chambers space is roughly 20 years old with audiovisual equipment that dates back to the opening of the facility. There have been minor upgrades as equipment failed over the last 10-15 years, but the City has not fully modernized the technology in the Chambers. As a result, the system is subject to unexpected failures and constant troubleshooting. In 2021, a consultant was hired by the City to conduct a study on the current system and provide staff with the design specifications for a new system that integrates all the needs of the various Boards and Commissions that utilize the space, as well as comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The upgrade of the audiovisual technology will cost roughly $450,000. The cost will ultimately be paid for with pass through fees the City receives as a result of proceeds calculated from the gross revenues of telecommunications payments from the local telecommunications provider. As the full cost has not yet been realized, the General Fund will need to front the cost of the upgrade, but will be repaid through the fees received quarterly from the telecommunications provider. Repayment is anticipated to occur within two years. The project is nearly ready to be released for bid, and is anticipated to be complete by the end of the year.

Re: 9.10(b)--Mid-Year Budget Adjustments including ARPA & Budget workshop info Page 5 The Development Services Department is requesting additional funding for Fiscal Year 2021-22 of $148,400. These requests include 3 vehicles that were originally approved as part of the biennial budget process, but an administrative error caused them to not be included in the budget.

Additionally, the Development Services Department is requesting $8,400 for travel and training to ensure that staff is attending important training that was recently announced. Finally, the department is requesting $13,500 to purchase hardware for a customer self-service kiosk and to begin a migration of records to be permanently moved from an in-house software program to Laserfiche.

The Police Department is requesting $43,000 in Fiscal Year 2021-22 and $2,000 in Fiscal Year 2022-23. This funding includes $18,000 in Fiscal Year 2021-22 and $2,000 in Fiscal Year 2022- 23 for additional costs associated with the new Police Officers that will be hired by the department including background checks, polygraph tests, communication expenses, equipment, and finger printing. Additionally, the department is requesting $25,000 to help complete the back log of employee training, including POST training, that occurred as a result of the impacts of COVID-19 on access and availability to training.

The Fire Department is requesting $185,500 in Fiscal Year 2021-22 and $30,000 in Fiscal Year 2022-23. This funding includes $60,000 in Fiscal Year 2021-22 and $30,000 in Fiscal Year 2022-23 for a new Emergency Reporting System software. The company that supplies the software that is currently in use is being purchased by another entity; this precipitated the Fire Department staff to evaluate comparable options as the new company will be charging an increased fee. The increased fee in Fiscal Year 2021-22 includes implementation costs of the new software as well as the final annual cost of the previous software. Additionally, the Fire Department is requesting $125,500 of special equipment funding. This includes costs of new foam that is required in California due to a ban of firefighting foam that contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) effective January 1, 2022. This funding also includes purchasing automated external defibrillators (AEDs), new wildland personal protective equipment (PPE), electric fans (E-fans), jaws of life, and EMS Bags.

The Public Works Department is requesting $164,930 in Fiscal Year 2021-22 and $25,000 in Fiscal Year 2022-23. This funding includes $15,000 per year to replace computer hardware that is struggling to meet the demands of the department. Also included in the request is $48,000 to replace a Trimble S5 – 3” Robotic Total Station which replaces an existing survey station and will increase efficiencies within the Engineering Division. The Streets Division has two requests included within Fiscal Year 2021-22, the first for its component of a bucket truck that was purchased with the ET-USA Division to share costs proportional to the use of the asset, and finally $90,330 to purchase radio equipment that will be compatible with the new radio system the City is in the process of completing.

The Community Services Department is requesting $52,000 in Fiscal Year 2021-22. The first request is for $40,000 in the Parks Division to replace a mower that recently had an engine failure. The second request is for the Recreation Division to assist in attracting applicants who will assist with required certification trainings such as CPR, First Aid, Basic Water Rescue, and lifeguarding.

Re: 9.10(b)--Mid-Year Budget Adjustments including ARPA & Budget workshop info Page 6 Other Fund Expenditures
Other Fund Expenditures have two components of recommendations as well. The first contains the recommendations from the budget workshop on February 17, 2022. The second contains changes similar to a typical mid-year budget request.

Department Project 2022-23
Airports New Terminal Concept Study $ 500,000
Fleet Maintenance Mechanic I 83,120
Building Maintenance & Construction Building Facilities Mechanic 95,700 Total $ 678,820
The above changes were approved in concept as part of the budget workshop on February 17, 2022. The Airport Division funding will come from a transfer from the General Fund to provide funding for the new terminal concept study. This is due to the increase in commercial flights at the Redding Municipal Airport which is causing capacity issues within the current terminal. As air service continues to expand and new opportunities arise, it will be important to begin to forecast the needs of the Redding Municipal Airport. This project will provide funding to begin to assess those needs and position the Redding Municipal Airport to find grant opportunities in the future to fund the future terminal needs that may be identified.

The other two requests provide new staff positions to internal service funds to assist in meeting various needs in the Fleet and Building Maintenance Divisions. These changes and other previous changes approved by the Council require a change to the allocations of various internal service funds. The allocations of internal service funds provide funding to these identified funds to perform services for the entire City. The allocation changes will be broken down after the other budget modification requests. Following is a chart of additional budget change requests.

Redding Electric Utility (REU) is requesting increases totaling $534,100 for a variety of projects including some unanticipated emergency backup power system repairs, a consultant for the Strategic Modernization Project, consulting services for recruitment of a number of vacant positions within REU, and providing additional funding for the transportation electrification.

The Field Services Division is requesting an increase of $250,000 to cover on-call metering services due to vacancies occurring at the meter shop.

Re: 9.10(b)--Mid-Year Budget Adjustments including ARPA & Budget workshop info Page 7 The Solid Waste Division is requesting $275,000 which includes the purchase of handhelds that will be compatible with the City’s new radio system and consultant costs to update the Facility Master Plan, which plans for solutions to space constraints and expansion needs at the Transfer Station.

The Information Technology Department is requesting budget changes of $113,500 which includes hardware costs for new employees, additional propane costs for some communication equipment, and costs to cover an unanticipated cyber security event including costs for the immediate response and enhancements as a result of the breach.

The Building Maintenance Division is requesting $65,000 for a new F-350 truck which will replace an older asset which needs costly repairs. This will also help ensure the division has the proper vehicles available with the addition of a new staff member as mentioned above.

The Fleet Maintenance Division allocation is being recommended to increase by $293,460 in Fiscal Year 2022-23 to provide funding for both the budget modifications that were approved by the Council and maintaining the necessary cash reserve. Of this increased allocation, $60,920 is attributable to the General Fund.

The Building Maintenance Division allocation is being recommended to increase by $124,920 in Fiscal Year 2022-23 to provide funding for both the budget modifications approved by the Council and maintaining the necessary cash reserve. Of the increased allocation, $88,200 is attributable to the General Fund.

ARPA Expenditure Plan
At the budget workshop on February 17, 2022, staff made a number of recommendations to the Council regarding the ARPA funding. This section of the report will summarize the information presented at the workshop in the chart below, which includes a modification being recommended by staff. These modifications will be discussed below the chart.

Category Description Amount
Responding to Public Health & Economic Impacts Non-Profit Assistance $ 700,000 Responding to Public Health & Economic Impacts South City Park Infrastructure 3,000,000 Responding to Public Health & Economic Impacts MLK Center upgrades & enhancements 560,000 Responding to Public Health & Economic Impacts Sports Scholarships for underprivileged youth 100,000 Responding to Public Health & Economic Impacts Five Police Officers to create an eighth beat 1,965,150 Responding to Public Health & Economic Impacts COVID Tests and other pandemic related expenses 195,000 Water and Sewer Infrastructure Storm Drain Upgrades 2,000,000 Broadband Infrastructure Citywide Backbone Fiber Ring 4,000,000 Provision of Government Services Stillwater Business Park Infrastructure 2,500,000 Provision of Government Services Four Police Officers (Park Rangers) 1,263,290 Provision of Government Services Street Maintenance 1,000,000 Provision of Government Services Youth Programming 310,000 Total $17,593,440
The only modification that is being recommended is to move the funding for the additional four Police Officers for Park Rangers to ARPA funding for the first two years, and reducing the funding associated with the five Police Officers on the City’s eighth beat to two years. The funding with the eighth beat is being reduced to two years due to concerns over the Treasury Department’s definition of obligation. Due to the flexibility within ARPA, staff is recommending Packet Pg. 215 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - Mid Year Adjustment ARPA - March 10, 2022 (4.6(d)--Adopt Resolution appropriating Park In-Lieu Funds for Report to Redding City Council March 10, 2022
Re: 9.10(b)--Mid-Year Budget Adjustments including ARPA & Budget workshop info Page 8 absorbing those final years of the eighth beat into the City of Redding General Fund Ten-Year Plan and utilizing ARPA funding that is currently available for the Provision of Government Services category in the first two years to fund the Park Rangers unit.

General Fund 10-Year Plan
The changes recommended throughout this report are included in the attached updated General Fund Ten-Year Plan. The General Fund Ten-Year Plan continues to meet the required ten percent reserve in all years as required by Council policy. As mentioned previously, there are some changes that were recommended at the budget workshop on February 17, 2022, that will require future action by the Council in order to adopt them, and the ten-year plan will be changed as those items are brought to the Council for approval. The biggest of these items is the future bond issuance for Fire Department fire station needs. The future bond is expected to increase expenditures by approximately $1 million dollars per year in order to budget the expected bond payments after the bond is issued.

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

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve the following actions:
(1) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 43rd Amendment to City of Redding Budget Resolution No. 2023-060 re-appropriating available American Rescue Plan Act funding from various projects which are not expected to be expended or encumbered in the appropriate time frame and moved to fund a scoreboard at Tiger Field and various sidewalk repairs; and
(2) Authorize City Manager to allocate funds and approve release of request for proposals for Microsoft Office 365 Implementation after completion of full fiscal analysis of impacts to the City’s General Fund in an amount not to exceed $600,000 total with $200,000 coming from the City’s General Fund utilizing American Rescue Plan Act funding.

Fiscal Impact
There is no impact to the General Fund as this action would move American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding made available from redirecting previously allocated ARPA due to priorities of government operations.

Alternative Action
City Council could request additional details or provide alternative direction for use of the ARPA funds.

Background/Analysis
The City of Redding (City) received two equal tranches of ARPA funds in May of 2021 and 2022 approximately $18.7 million. Council on multiple occasions has adopted and modified this funding over the years. Below is a table that captures the currently budgeted ARPA projects.

Total 18,693,440
Of the projects currently allocated many of the projects have been fully expended or expect to be fully encumbered and allocated to meet ARPA specifications. ARPA funds require encumbering the funds by December 31, 2024, and fully expend those funds within two years of that date by December 31, 2026.

At the Council meeting on May 21, 2024, there was a discussion regarding the General Fund future revenue sources and potential cuts to future services. It is not feasible given current revenue projections to expect the City to maintain a strong financial position without modification to future expenditure plans. At this meeting, a tentative plan was presented to modify the future service and staffing levels of the City. Part of the changes presented were modifications to ARPA funds.

The below table attempts to estimate future costs of each program to determine potential available funding. Staff is trying to maximize the available ARPA funding by encumbering and expending within the required timelines. Further discussion is outlined below on some specific items but staff expects Council to potentially move a variety of monies around in the coming months to maximize the use of the available ARPA funds. Below is the current projected budget to forecasted expenditure through the end of the program.

Total 18,693,440 16,909,380 1,784,060
The above shows potentially upwards of $1.8 million available for re-appropriation. The largest part of this is the modification of ending the Park Rangers & Police 8th Beat positions at the end of Fiscal Year 2024-25 and projected expenses in the above chart reflect this. Originally, the adopted ARPA plan was to utilize ARPA funds through Fiscal Year 2026-27. With the changes to General Fund forecasted revenues and the clear need to cut services it is recommended to end this program earlier in order to allow for attrition and utilization of ARPA funds through Fiscal Year 2024-25.

Another project that shows potential savings is the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Center Upgrades. Staff is currently working to obtain additional grants to fund a larger set of improvements at the MLK Center. Depending on the timing of these grants and potential availability, staff expects to either utilize these funds or potentially free these funds up if additional grants cannot be secured in time. At the conclusion of analyzing potential grant opportunities and the scope of the project, staff will return to Council if necessary to modify the ARPA funding associated with this project.

Additionally, other items on this list will come back to Council for modification if they are unable to be encumbered and/or spent on the required timelines.

The attached budget resolution incorporates the changes to ARPA funding as discussed at the Council meeting on May 21, 2024. There are three items that the ARPA funding will be reappropriated to:

1. $500,000 will be used to do sidewalk repairs on the most critical issues throughout the City.

2. $100,000 will be used to aide in the purchase of a new scoreboard at Tiger Field. The City had originally contributed $40,000 in January of 2023 towards the purchase of the scoreboard.

Re: 4.10(c)--Consider modifications to American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding Page 4

3. Microsoft Office 365 is expected to cost around $500,000-$600,000 for the implementation costs with approximately $500,000 per year depending upon the services selected by the City. The General Fund is responsible to 30-40 percent of the cost. The Information Technology Department is an internal service fund and as such the remaining costs will be allocated based on usage to the other City departments and funds. The Information Technology Department is working on finalizing the specifications for implementation costs and annual costs with offsetting savings from certain services which can be eliminated as a result of utilizing the services provided by Microsoft Office 365.

Authorizing the City Manager to approve the budget modification request and release of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the implementation services and annual licensing services will allow the City to finalize the analysis. This will allow for an accurate budget allocation and enable the City to start towards budgeting and releasing the RFP for this important shift in the use of Microsoft Office products. In October 2025 the current versions of Microsoft Office utilized by the City will begin to be unsupported by Microsoft. This means that they will not be supported by Microsoft and will not receive security patches.

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

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

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Authorize a City of Redding (City) internal loan for prepayment of the CalPERS unfunded liability (UAL) payment for Fiscal Year 2025-26 in the amount of $20,221,123 between Redding Electric Utility, Water, and Wastewater as funds allow to the following City Funds: General, Airports, Information Technology, Fleet Maintenance, Building Maintenance, Records Managements, Redding Municipal Utilities Administration, Geographic Information Systems, Communications, Reprographics, and Volunteer Services; and
(2) Authorize City Manager and Director of Finance in future years to prepay UAL utilizing internal loans that will be repaid within each fiscal year.

Fiscal Impact
The prepayment of the CalPERS unfunded liability (UAL) for Fiscal Year 2025-26 must be paid on or before July 31, 2025. The prepayment required for the Miscellaneous Plan is $16,574,998 and $13,050,809 for the Safety Plan. The total CalPERS UAL is $29,625,807 compared to $30,616,519 if monthly payments were made on the two plans, which would result in a savings of $990,712 for both plans. In order to prepay the CalPERS UAL, the City of Redding (City) does not have adequate cash in some of the affected funds. This requires a loan from the funds who have adequate cash balances to absorb the prepayment.

There are various funds requiring a loan in order to prepay the respective portions of the UAL.

Each of these funds will begin repaying the loans to the lending funds on July 31, 2025, and will repay the loans with interest in its entirety by June 30, 2025. Interest on the loans will accrue at the same rate the City earns on its pooled cash. This rate is the same rate that would have been earned on the respective reserve balances and, therefore, will have no fiscal impact on the lending funds. The average pooled cash interest rate for Fiscal Year 2024-25 was approximately

2.64 percent. Total interest for the loans is projected to be approximately $214,810 using the MEETING DATE: July 15, 2025

Re: 4.10(a)--Approve internal loan between City funds to prepay the CalPERS Unfunded Liability Page 2
average pooled cash interest rate for Fiscal Year 2024-25. Because the pooled cash rate adjusts monthly, actual results will vary.

For Fiscal Year 2025-26 the savings to the General Fund will be approximately $591,167. After factoring the projected interest cost for the loan of $187,795 the projected net savings to the General Fund would be $403,372. Organization wide, which includes the General Fund, the City will save $990,712 in amounts paid to CalPERS. After factoring the projected interest cost for the loan from Redding Electrical Utility (REU), Water, and Wastewater of $214,810, the projected net savings organization wide would be $775,902.

Alternative Action
The City Council has the option to not approve the loan between the utility funds and several of the City’s other funds, including the General Fund. If the loan is not approved, the City would instead begin making monthly UAL payments to CalPERS which would ultimately incur additional cost to the City. If the City Council elected not to approve the loan for prepayment of CalPERS UAL, it would negatively impact the budget for all funds for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

Background/Analysis
Since Fiscal Year 2017-18 the City has prepaid the CalPERS UAL. The prepayment was made possible each year through a loan from REU to the various funds throughout the City. Those funds were unable to prepay the amount due without the loan. The loans received from REU beginning in Fiscal Year 2017-18 were repaid in full with interest. For Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City is again seeking an internal loan for the fiscal year that will be repaid with interest.

Due to the fact that REU is currently utilizing reserves for a variety of capital and deferred capital maintenance they are in the midst of a cash cycle where the reserves are decreasing. As a result, staff is recommending continuing the loan process to utilize other enterprise/utility funds to provide the loan to the departments that cannot prepay their portion of the UAL. Staff will separate the loan based on available cash and ability to fund the loan for the duration of the fiscal year.

The internal loans are dependent upon available cash and distributed based on the ability of each fund. Staff has now performed the internal loan process and analysis for nine years and this has become a routine business item. The results of the prepayment are a net positive for all City funds and departments benefitting the departments who are able to prepay their own portion of the UAL and those who would not be able to prepay.

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

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 estimated 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.

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 August 15, 2025.

The contractor is currently excavating the jack and bore pits and will be installing the new 30- inch, steel casing by July 18, 2025. UPRR has flaggers and observers on site for the work and is currently scheduled for all remaining work within the UPRR Right-of-Way (ROW) until the project’s completion. Once the contractor has completed the installation of the new 30-inch, steel casing, the contractor will proceed with the installation of the new 16-inch, ductile iron pipe water main which is projected to start around July 21, 2025.

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.

On March 19, 2024, the City Council (Council) adopted a budget resolution of $210,000 authorizing the replacement of the security fencing around the REU/Pacific Gas & Electric gas intertie. Subsequent design review identified the need for higher‑grade, security‑rated materials.

To cover this upgrade, staff requested an additional $63,000 during the Fiscal Year 2025 mid‑year budget review. With all adjustments, the project requires an additional $137,700. REU has sufficient reserves to cover the additional $137,700 needed to support the fencing project.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to award the bid for the project and provide staff with alternate direction. If the project is not awarded, the location will remain as-is and there will be a safety and security risk.

Background/Analysis
Attached is a tabulation of bids opened on June 18, 2025. The low bid in the amount of $204,090 was received from Ray Excavating and Grading, Inc., of Shasta, California. The engineer’s estimate was $173,500. Total project development costs for this project are estimated to be $80,992. Project development costs include engineering, environmental, and consultant services (design support).

The purpose of this project is to provide increased security and safety by replacing the chain link fencing with expanded metal fencing and installing traffic rated bollards to protect the facility from vehicular traffic of the adjacent roadways.

Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project qualifies as categorically exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15301(c). Class 1 exemptions include the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public facilities. The project will involve the replacement of existing fencing materials only, will serve the same purpose as the previous fencing, and will result in no expansion of use. The project has been reviewed for sensitive resources and will not have a significant effect on biological or cultural resources such as threatened or endangered species or their habitats, sensitive vegetation communities, tribal lands, or tribal cultural resources. The project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

Report to Redding City Council July 3, 2025
Re: 4.11(c)--Award Bid Schedule No. 5593, Cape Seal 2025 Page 2 Alternative Action
The City Council may choose not to award the project, in which case, the streets will continue to deteriorate and require roadway reconstruction.

Background/Analysis
CAPE seal roadway surface treatments extend the life of worn pavements by combining a chip seal with slurry seal treatments. The City has utilized this method to successfully preserve residential streets since 2008. This project includes the pavement preservation treatment in various neighborhoods in Redding (see location map).

Attached is a tabulation of the three bids opened on May 29, 2025. The low bid in the amount of $2,272,120 was received from VSS International, Inc., of West Sacramento, California. The engineer’s estimate was $2,420,081. Total project development costs for this project are estimated to be $54,000. Project development costs include engineering, environmental, and consultant services (design and construction support).

Environmental Review
Staff has reviewed the action and determined that the project is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15301. Class 1 exemptions include the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public facilities. The project will extend the life of the existing pavement and will result in no expansion of use. The project has been reviewed for sensitive resources and will not have a significant effect on biological or cultural resources such as threatened or endangered species or their habitats, sensitive vegetation communities, tribal lands, or tribal cultural resources. The project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. No further action is required.
