Re: 4.11(g)--Increase to Project Budget for RDD Airport Parking Lot Reconstruction Page 2 Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to approve the request and provide alternative direction to staff.
Background/Analysis
This project involves removing the existing concrete islands and trees, grinding and overlaying the passenger, employee and rental car parking lots. In addition, new irrigation, trees and landscaping will be installed. The work is being completed while the airport is closed for construction due to Redding Regional Airport Runway Project. The work window to complete the noted parking lots must be completed and open to the public by October 20, 2025.
During the course of construction, unforeseen conditions warranted changes such as, irrigation additions to connect the new system to the existing system, irrigation sleeves under roadways for future expansion, additional concrete curbs and gutter, additional tree removal, private utility locating, and additional infrastructure needed for the new license plate reader system warranted changes to meet the projects intent.
Additionally, it was the projects intent to perform a two-inch grind of the existing three-inch thick asphalt concrete which would have left approximately one-inch of asphalt remaining to place a new two-inch layer of asphalt concrete within the parking lot areas. During the grinding operations, it was found that the original asphalt concrete parking lots were only two-inches thick. Due to existing conditions, and to maintain the project's original intent of achieving a final three-inch asphalt concrete thickness for a longer-lasting parking lot, additional contingency funds are required to cover the cost of the change order, as well as any additional unforeseen conditions that may arise during the remainder of the project There are currently insufficient funds available in the project’s budget to complete the work. The funding increase to the project is imperative in order to complete the work as originally intended.
Environmental Review
Previously, the project was determined to have no potential to have a significant effect on the environment – reference Staff Report 080425. Increasing project funding is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, and thus no further action is required.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to issue a loan between the City of Redding General Fund and the Airports Division Enterprise Fund in order to fund the Redding Regional Airport Passenger Terminal Parking Lot Reconstruction Project in an amount not to exceed $1.5 million – the loan will be amortized annually over a 10-year term at the averaged pooled cash rate with annual payments of $145,325 and a projected balloon payment of $355,000.
Fiscal Impact
If approved, the City Manager would issue a loan to the Airports Division’s Enterprise Fund from the General Fund in the amount of $1.5 million. As proposed, the Airports Division would make annual payments of $145,325 for a 10-year term at the average pooled cash rate at the time of the loan with an anticipated balloon payment of $355,000. At the end of the term, the balloon payment will be analyzed based on Airports Division revenues and a refinance of the balloon payment will be presented to City Council (Council) for consideration.
Alternative Action
Council may choose not to authorize the City Manager to issue the loan and provide staff alternate direction.
Background/Analysis
The Redding Regional Airport (RDD) Passenger Terminal Parking Lot is in overall poor condition due to wear and tear from increased passenger traffic and its lack of eligibility for preservation or rehabilitation funding from traditional airport grant funding sources. The Airports Division has utilized operating funds to initiate the design for the parking lot reconstruction and is requesting a City of Redding (City) General Fund loan to enable the project to proceed in fall 2025 concurrent with the Runway Rehabilitation project in order to minimize further disruptions MEETING DATE: May 20, 2025

to RDD customers. Parking lots are typically difficult for small and medium airports to maintain because of the overall costs, disruption to services, and lack of eligibility for federal and state grant funding for airports.
The Airports Division contracts with a parking management company to operate the paid parking areas which generate a significant portion of airport revenues. Rental car parking and employee parking are not part of this oversight. As part of the City’s Master Fee Schedule update, the Airports Division is proposing an increase to the parking lot daily rates from $10 per day to $12 per day which will be used towards the financing costs associated with the proposed loan.
In addition, the parking lot concession agreement is due for renegotiation and the Airports Division anticipates receiving more favorable concession rates from the operator which would further increase revenues from paid parking. As part of the design for the reconstruction, the Airports Division has also incorporated infrastructure updates to enable the airport or its parking operator to install and utilize license plate reader technology to enhance the security of the parking lot and ensure the highest effective capture rate of parking revenues. There are no current plans to make changes to short-term parking rate, which is currently free for the first four hours in order to facilitate public access to airport concessionaires such as the restaurant operated by a private party.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 13th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2025-049 appropriating $550,000 to Stillwater Business Park infrastructure and transferring $2,890,000 of property proceeds from General Capital Projects Fund to the General Fund.
Fiscal Impact
The $550,000 requested is specifically for Stillwater Business Park’s roadway infrastructure and is funded by the Citywide Transportation Impact Fee Program, which has adequate funding.
Including the net proceeds from the Amazon property sale ($2,396,210), there currently is $2,991,767 in the City’s Capital Projects General Fund cash. As outlined in Council Policy 1901 Disposition of City-Owned Real Property, Section Q, these funds should be deposited in the General Fund. The subject resolution will move all the cash available in the Capital Projects General Fund to the General Fund for a total of $2,890,000, which leaves approximately $102,000 for future unforeseen expenses and will not require a transfer from the General Fund.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to adopt the budget resolution appropriating $550,000 from the Citywide Transportation Impact Fee Program. However, without this funding, the City of Redding (City) will be unable to complete the roadway to the southern bridge, limiting access to the remaining parcels and potentially hindering economic development opportunities.
Council could also choose not to transfer the revenue generated from the sale of property into the General Fund. This would keep the funding inside the General Capital Projects Fund for future uses and Council could decide to move it at a future date.

Report to Redding City Council October 2, 2025
Re: 9.1(d)--Adopt budget resolution & approve transfer of revenue to the general fund Page 2 Background/Analysis
City staff has been working to extend Venture Parkway in Stillwater Business Park to the Southern bridge, located just south of Parcel 16. The City is currently in contract with Dokken Engineering Inc., and Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., to provide engineering services and environmental services in Stillwater Business Park.
The current funding allocated for the planning and construction of Venture Parkway is nearing depletion. With the addition of Amazon and open escrow for other parcels, we have expedited the need to extend the road in Stillwater Business Park and have received new inquiries from interested businesses. The funds requested will be utilized for the following:
• Right-of-way acquisition along Fig Tree Lane;
• Traffic Study update;
• Dokken Engineering Inc., design contract amendment;
• Environmental studies that include California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), mitigation, permitting for the extension and Road B (shared road for Parcels 1 & 2); and
• Staff and miscellaneous costs associated with the above.
Currently the roadway and infrastructure end at Parcel 12 which leaves Parcel 13-16 without the necessary roadway and infrastructure. The City needs to continue moving forward to complete the roadway and infrastructure for future tenants.
As proposed, this will allow City staff and contractors to continue working until we receive confirmation from the U.S. Economic Development Administration on the grant submission approved by Council on June 3, 2025. We are currently in escrow for the sale of Parcels 12, 14 and 15, and must continue advancing the planning of the roadway construction to ensure its completion for future buyers.
The funds received from Amazon and other property sales have accumulated to $2,991,767.
Property proceeds related to the City’s General Fund are typically deposited into the General Capital Projects Fund. These proceeds are technically part of the General Fund as outlined in Council Policy 1901, Section Q. Over the years, placing the proceeds in the General Capital Projects Fund has given Council an opportunity to consider options with the funds and priorities for potential one time uses and/or placing the money in the General Fund.
Currently there is a large need for future funds at the Stillwater Business Park. There are multiple properties currently in negotiation and those proceeds will have a similar decision as the current monies held in the General Capital Projects Fund. The future improvements at the Stillwater Business Park to finish the park will be funded through a variety of funding mechanisms, therefore, staff believes the current best use of the monies in the General Capital Projects Fund is to move the funds to the General Fund until the future funding to finish the Stillwater Business Park is identified at which time any funds required of the General Fund will be identified. This could require a transfer from the General Fund to match grants, and/or contribute funds that are not covered by another source.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 5264, to provide engineering and right of way services for the Stillwater Business Park Phase 2 Projects:
(1) Award to Dokken Engineering Inc. in an amount not to exceed $857,370; (2) Authorize the Mayor to execute the Consultant and Professional Services Contract with Dokken Engineering Inc.; and
(3) Authorize the City Manager to approve contract amendments not to exceed $90,000.
Fiscal Impact
The required professional services to prepare the project for construction is estimated to be roughly $1,500,000 including staff time and right of way. Preliminary construction costs are estimated to be $16,500,000 depending on timing and phases of work completed. On November 16, 2021, the City Council (Council) budgeted adequate funds for the Stillwater Business Park Phase 2 project development costs, and the budgeted amount is sufficient to cover the costs for the proposed professional services agreement.
Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to award the contract for this project. This alternative would require staff to reprioritize several City of Redding (City) capital improvement projects to reallocate resources to complete plans and specifications for the project. This would delay other important City projects. In addition, it would require staff to obtain a consultant to assist with right of way acquisitions which could delay this project.

Re: 4.11(c)--Award RFP No. 5264 for Stillwater Business Park Phase Two Page 2 Background
On November 16, 2021, the Council approved funding for project development and consultant support services to continue the necessary infrastructure, road extension, and utility work for the Stillwater Business Park. Staff developed a Request for Proposal (RFP) to obtain consultant support services related to project development including but not limited to surveys, design, and right of way acquisitions with appraisals for the remainder of the Stillwater Business Park improvements. The design work will include road construction, wet and dry utility installation, c o n s t r u c t i o n o f storm drains and street lights, and other miscellaneous items to complete improvements to Venture Parkway from Rancho Road through the south end of the park to Fig Tree Lane concluding at the intersection of Fig Tree Lane and Airport Road. The work will include widening projects along Rancho Road and Fig Tree Lane and intersection improvements that may include Rancho Road/Airport Road and also Fig Tree Lane/Airport Road.
Consultant Selection Process
A review and selection panel was formed consisting of three members from the Public Works Engineering Division. The panel’s evaluation was based on the RFP selection criteria below and the consultants’ abilities and qualifications to perform all phases of the engineering and right of way services that will be required.
Two proposals, including design fees in sealed envelopes, were received on February 3, 2022.
The panel members evaluated and scored each proposal based on the consultants’ understanding of the project/scope, team experience with similar types of projects and with City projects, qualifications of the project team, project approach, project schedule, and geographic location of the project team. The panel ranked the firms based on their scores as follows:
Firm Rank
Dokken Engineering Inc. 1
GHD 2
Applying the evaluation criteria to the proposals scoring, it was the opinion of the selection panel that Dokken Engineering, Inc., (Dokken) was the most qualified team to provide the required services. In general, this opinion is based on Dokken’s:
• Excellent understanding of the project scope;
• Familiarity with City projects and its required procedures; • Successful delivery of other complicated City projects; and • Qualification and experience of the right of way appraisal and acquisitions team.
Upon ranking Dokken as the top firm based on qualifications, its sealed fee envelope was opened. Dokken’s proposed fee was $857,370. Staff believes this fee is reasonable for the proposed scope of services. Staff believes that Dokken is the most qualified team to provide the required design services and recommends that the Council authorize recommendations listed herein, including award to Dokken for an amount not-to-exceed $857,370.
This agreement has been approved to form by the City Attorney.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the Fourth Amendment to Consulting and Professional Services Contract (C-9021) with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec), in the amount of $32,735.40, for a total not-to-exceed fee of $224,464.40, for environmental services for the Stillwater Business Park Phase 2 Roadway Project; and authorize the City Manager to approve future contract amendments up to $30,000.
Fiscal Impact
The Stillwater Business Park Phase 2 Project is being funded by the General Fund. On November 16, 2021, the City Council (Council) approved Budget Resolution 2021-078 in the amount of $1,500,000 to fund ongoing project development costs. To date, Stillwater Business Park property sales are in excess of $2 million, which will sufficiently cover the projected cost of this amendment. The funding source for the construction of the necessary improvements has not yet been determined.
Alternative Action
The Council may choose to not to approve the amendment for Consulting and Professional Services Contract (C-9021) with Stantec and provide staff with alternative direction. Without these studies, the project would not comply with guidelines set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and the project would not fulfill its obligation of providing a completed business park to its tenants.
Background/Analysis
The City is responsible for infrastructure improvements at Stillwater Business Park (Park), including street lights, paving, landscaping, and utility installation. At the mid-year budget review in February 2021, the Council approved an allocation of $500,000 out of the proceeds from land sales to fund the design of the infrastructure improvements at the Park.

Re: 4.11(d)--Approve the Fourth Amendment to Consulting and Professional Services Contract (C-9021) Page 2
In November 2021, the Council adopted a Resolution approving and adopting the 19th Amendment to City of Redding Budget Resolution No. 2021-078, appropriating $1,500,000 for consultant costs related to project development, including but not limited to surveys, design, environmental clearance, and right of way acquisitions with appraisals for the remainder of the improvements. To date, property sales are in excess of $2 million. A budget resolution to allocate funding from the proceeds of the property sales will be presented to the Council for approval at a future meeting.
An environmental service contract was executed with Stantec in 2021. Stantec was selected from the Engineering On-Call Consultant List, and the contract cost was anticipated to remain below the $200,000 limit; however, during the course of field studies, potential habitat for a federally listed species was found. This discovery requires the City to perform protocol level surveys and prepare a technical report addressing any potential impact. This documentation is required for compliance with NEPA and to satisfy the regulatory agency permit requirements. This documentation will also be needed to obtain any available federal grant funds for the project.
Staff recommends approval of the contract amendment so the environmental studies can continue forward to completion. Due to the complex nature of consultation and permitting, staff also recommends the Council authorize the City Manager to approve future contract amendments up to $30,000.
The amendment has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.
Environmental Review
This activity is not a project as defined by CEQA or NEPA, and no further action is required.
Approval of the contract amendment will allow the consultants to continue the technical environmental studies necessary for project compliance with CEQA and NEPA.

The Stillwater Business Park Phase 2 Project is being funded by the General Fund. The attached budget resolution in the amount of $1,500,000 will fund ongoing project development costs for this project to ensure delivery timelines for prospective tenants. The General Fund has previous property sales to cover $650,000 of the projected cost, while the remaining amount is expected to be realized through near term property sales. The funding source of the construction of the necessary improvements has not yet been determined.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose to not authorize funding for the design of Stillwater Business Park Phase 2 Project and provide staff with alternative direction. Without this project, the City of Redding (City) will not fulfill its obligation of providing a completed business park to its tenants. As developer, the City is responsible for providing adequate roadways, utilities, and various other infrastructure improvements to ensure the business park is useable for current and future tenants.

At the mid-year budget review in February 2021, the Council approved an allocation of $500,000 out of the proceeds from land sales to fund the design of the infrastructure improvements at the Park.
In August 2021, the Council approved the appropriation of $150,000 for the construction bid for Phase 1C of this project that included the installation of street lighting on Venture Parkway from the Stillwater Business Park entrance at Old Oregon Trail through the east side of the northerly Stillwater Creek Bridge.
To continue the necessary road extension and utility work, staff is recommending an increase in project budget funds from the General Fund Capital Project Fund in the amount of $1,500,000.
This additional allocation is needed for staff and consultant costs related to project development including but not limited to surveys, design, environmental clearance, and right of way acquisitions with appraisals for the remainder of the improvements. The design work will include road construction, wet and dry utility installation, storm drains, street lights and other miscellaneous items to complete improvements to Venture Parkway from Rancho Road through the south end of the park to Fig Tree Lane concluding at the intersection of Fig Tree Lane and Airport Road. The work will include widening projects along Rancho Road and Fig Tree Lane and intersection improvements that may include Rancho Road/Airport Road and also Fig Tree Lane/Airport Road.
With the sale of additional lots, the improvements which were halted need to resume in order to adhere to what was intended with the development of the park. This additional allocation will be funded with property sales receipts. Property sales in this fiscal year are in excess of $900,000, and it is anticipated that this fiscal year will see an additional $3 million in proceeds from additional land transactions. Additional work on the park will be budgeted for completion in the coming months.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Authorize the City Manager to negotiate a Host Venue Agreement (Agreement) with World Triathlon Corporation to hold an event in the City of Redding in August 2026, August 2027, and August 2028;
(2) Accept the Letter of Commitment of Financial Support for the duration of the Agreement from Choose Redding;
(3) Authorize the City Manager to negotiate a Partnership Agreement with Choose Redding and upon City Attorney approval, execute the Partnership Agreement; and (4) Conditioned upon City Attorney approval, authorize the Mayor to execute the Host Venue Agreement.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact of the City of Redding (City) entering into a Host Venue Agreement (Agreement) with World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) for a three-year term is unknown.
However, pursuant to the agreement, the host city is tasked to provide a number of support services specifically identified in the Agreement’s Exhibit C. We plan to coordinate efforts to complete this additional work with Choose Redding through a Partnership Agreement and other local agencies.
As a number of City departments will be involved with the event, the City’s associated cost to host requires further detailed analysis by staff. A complete event analysis and the projected fiscal impact will be included with the mid-year budget amendments. It should be noted, based on similar events held in other communities, it is projected that the sales tax and transient oriented taxes generated from the event will exceed City staff costs associated with event operations.

Report to Redding City Council October 2, 2025
Re: 9.2(c)--Host Venue Agreement with World Triathlon Corporation Page 2 Choose Redding has committed financial support for the three-year term at a minimum of $200,000 annually (see Commitment Letter attached).
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to authorize the agreement and provide staff with alternate direction.
Background/Analysis
In September 2025, Choose Redding Lodging hosted a tour for representatives from World Triathlon Corporation to gauge if the area surrounding the City would be a good location to host an IRONMAN 70.3 branded endurance triathlon (Race). On September 18, 2025, Choose Redding contacted the City to announce that WTC chose the Redding area for a three-year term with the first event scheduled for August 2026 with subsequent events in August 2027 and August 2028.
A draft agreement is currently being reviewed by staff that sets forth the expectations for both parties – WTC and the City, which is identified as the host/lead entity. As stated above, the host is tasked with a number of obligations that include support services; personnel; security; facilities; event coordination; permitting assistance; communications; parking; and in-kind services. Pursuant to the agreement, there are a number of tasks that are out of the City’s services, such as complimentary hotel rooms; ambulance and medical services; concessions; infrastructure equipment for electricity and lighting; lavatories; shuttles; and volunteers. To address these other services, staff is proposing to negotiate a third-party partnership agreement with Choose Redding.
Beyond the City’s and Choose Redding’s commitments, staff has connected with Shasta County, the California Department of Transportation, National Park Service, Redding Chamber of Commerce and Visit Redding to introduce the event and gather initial support. To date, all groups are generally supportive; willing to assist; and starting to analyze the impacts and feasibility of the event.
Environmental Review
This is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• 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.”

WTC shall include the Host Indemnified Parties as additional insureds on a primary and non-contributory basis on its commercial general liability and umbrella liability (if any) policies for claims arising in connection with WTC’s operations and activities related to the Event.

E-11. Assignment; Binding Effect. No rights or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated by Host without the prior written consent of WTC.

b. Arbitration. If a dispute, claim or controversy, with the exception of claims for injunctive and/or other equitable relief for intellectual property violations, unfair competition and/or the use and/or unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets or confidential information arises out of, relates to, or is in connection with this Agreement, any amendment of this Agreement or any breach of this Agreement (“Dispute”), and if the Dispute cannot be settled through direct discussions between the Parties, the Parties agree to settle the Dispute by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) whereby such Dispute shall be referred to a sole arbitrator selected by the Parties, or, if the parties are unable or unwilling to agree to such a selection, to AAA arbitration as the sole remedy as to all matters in Dispute, administered by the AAA in accordance with applicable Arbitration Rules to include the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection and Optional Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes, as interpreted and governed by the Florida Arbitration Code. The venue of any such arbitration shall be solely in Tampa, Florida. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered solely in a Tampa Court. The arbitrator shall not have authority to award punitive or other damages in excess of compensatory damages and each Party irrevocably waives any claim thereto.
c. Enforcement. If either Party brings any arbitration or other action under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any challenge or appeal), the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the other Party reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including, without limitation, the cost of such arbitration or other action). The Parties agree to authorize the arbitrator to determine both the entitlement and apportionment of such fees and costs. d. Arbitration Charges. Each Party shall initially bear an equal share of the arbitrator’s compensation and administrative charges of the arbitration and shall make deposits with the AAA of its share of the amounts requested by the AAA. Failure or refusal by a Party to timely pay its share of the deposits for the arbitrator(s)’ compensation and administrative charges shall constitute a waiver by that Party of its rights to be heard, present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and assert counterclaims. Informing the arbitrator of a Party’s failure to pay its share of the deposits for the arbitrator’s compensation and administrative charges for the purpose of implementing this provision will not be deemed to affect the arbitrator(s)’ impartiality or ability to proceed with the arbitration.
e. General. The requirement for arbitration will not be deemed a waiver of any right of termination under this Agreement and the arbitrator is not empowered to act or make any award other than based solely on the rights and obligations of the Parties prior to any such termination. The Parties, their representatives, other participants and the arbitrator shall hold the existence, content, and result of arbitration in confidence. Any provisions of this Agreement not found to be in compliance with applicable law may be waived without effect on the agreement by the Parties to arbitrate as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of breach by a Party of any of its obligations hereunder, the non-breaching Party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any Tampa Court. A request by a Party to a court for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the obligation to arbitrate.
E-14. Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are given in addition to any other rights and remedies either Party may have by law, statute, ordinance or otherwise. All such rights and remedies are intended to be cumulative, and the use of any one right or remedy by either Party shall not preclude or waive its right to any or all other rights or remedies.
E-15. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if emailed, hand delivered, or delivered by certified or registered mail or by overnight delivery service:

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (C-8717), Exhibit F – Notice of Extension, between U.S. Bank National Association, the City of Redding, and the Redding Joint Powers Financing Authority, on behalf of Redding Electric Utility to:
(1) Extend the revolving credit agreement through October 29, 2028, at an estimated annual cost of $75,000; and
(2) Authorize the City Manager, City Attorney, and Director of Finance/City Treasurer, or their designees, to execute all necessary documents and take any actions related to the extension.
Fiscal Impact
The City of Redding Electric Utility (REU) will pay an annual minimum undrawn commitment fee of $75,000 (30 basis points) for the duration of the Redding Electric Utility Revolving Credit Agreement (Agreement). The annual fee is included in REU’s budget and will not impact the City of Redding’s (City) General Fund.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to approve the extension. In that case, the agreement would expire on October 29, 2025, leaving REU without this financial resource.
Background/Analysis
In October 2020, the City and the Redding Joint Powers Financing Authority entered into a revolving credit agreement with U.S. Bank National Association. The agreement was initially established to address financial uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to support future capital investments, risk management, and long-term debt management efforts.

Report to Redding City Council October 1, 2025
Re: 9.5(a)--Extend REU Revolving Credit Agreement Page 2 This line of credit is a prudent financial management tool and is consistent with practices used by other municipal electric utilities. The agreement provides up to $25 million in borrowing capacity; however, REU does not plan to use these funds for routine operations. The credit line would only be drawn upon in extenuating circumstances, such as unexpected financial stress or emergencies. Any use of the credit line would require prior Council approval and be accompanied by a staff report outlining the purpose and justification for accessing the funds.
On May 1, 2023, the parties entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, which extended the term to October 29, 2025, and reduced the annual fee from $87,500 to $75,000.
The credit agreement provides several significant financial benefits:
• Liquidity Support: Ensures REU has immediate access to funds in the event of unexpected expenses or emergencies;
• Bond Rating Protection: Strengthens REU’s financial profile, supporting favorable credit ratings; and
• Ratepayer Benefit: Provides financial stability during significant capital investments to upgrade REU’s aging distribution system, helping mitigate the need for sudden or steep rate increases.
The current request is to extend the agreement for an additional three years, through October 29, 2028. Under Section 2.10 of the agreement, REU submitted Exhibit E – Request for Extension to U.S. Bank. Upon review and approval, the bank issued Exhibit F – Notice of Extension, which formally extends the agreement. Exercising this built-in extension mechanism avoids the additional legal fees and staff time required to negotiate and execute a new credit agreement.

SUBJECT: 9. 5( a)-- Amend and Extend REU Revolving Credit Agreement ( G8717) with US Bank
Recommendation
Approve the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement ( C- 8717) between US Bank National Association, the City of Redding, and the Redding Joint Powers Financing Authority for the benefit of Redding Electric Utility, extending the agreement until November 1, 2025, and reducing the annual cost to $ 75, 000; and authorizing execution of documents by the City Manager and City Attorney, or designees, and the taking of all necessary actions relating thereto.
Fiscal Impact
Initial attorney fees for the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (" line of credit" or " agreement") total approximately $ 10, 000. In addition, Redding Electric Utility ( REU) will pay, at minimum, an undrawn commitment fee of $75, 000 per year for the remainder of the agreement ( 30 basis points). The amounts payable under the agreement are payable solely from REU revenues, and there is no General Fund impact.
REU is expected to invest significantly in the aging distribution system over the next several years. Staff believes the continued access to a line of credit wi11 a11ow REU to bridge bond financing and reduce the pace of rate increases by relying on the liquidity the agreement provides.
Alternative Actzon
The City Council may choose to decline to proceed. The revolving credit agreement would not be extended.

Re: 9.5( a)-- Amena' and Extend REU Revolving CreditAgreement Page 2 Background/ Analysis
On October 20, 2020, the City of Redding ( City) and the Redding Joint Powers Financing Authority entered into a revolving credit agreement with U. S. Bank National Association due to the continued financial uncertainty related to COVID- 19 and future opportunities associated with significant capital outlay, event risk, and deleveraging.
The proposed amendment extends the agreement through November l, 2025, and reduces the annual cost from $ 87, 500 to $ 75, 000.
REU is one of many electric utilities to acquire a line of credit. Many cities employ these credit facilities to provide optionality and ensure the City can make financial decisions that benefit ratepayers. Whi1e the maximum available under the agreement is $ 25, 000, 000, REU intends to draw on the line only if extenuating circumstances deem it necessary.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Conduct a Joint Public Hearing with RJPFA and, upon conclusion, adopt Resolution authorizing the issuance by the RJPFA of notes; authorizing execution and delivery of a revolving credit agreement and installment sale agreement; and authorizing execution of documents and the taking of all necessary actions relating thereto.
Fiscal Impact
Initial advisor and attorney fees to establish the revolving credit agreement (“ line of credit” or agreement”) total approximately $ 130, 000. Redding Electric Utility (“ REU” or “ the Utility”) will pay, at minimum, an undrawn commitment fee of $87,500 per year for the remainder of the agreement ( 35 basis points). Budget amendments will be requested during the Fiscal Year 2021 mid-year budget update process.
In addition, staff believes the acquisition of a line of credit will allow the utility to forego the planned 2021 rate increase of two percent ( 2%) by relying on the liquidity the agreement provides, as a replacement for reserves, while the Utility makes significant investment in the aging distribution system. Work is ongoing relative to the rate structure and revenue neutral recommendations could come forward in the fall of 2021.

SUBJECT: 6.2--Joint Public Hearing with the Redding Joint Powers Financing Authority RJPFA) to consider authorizing execution and delivery of a Revolving Credit Agreement and Installment Sale Agreement; and authorizing execution of documents, all related to the continued financial uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Daniel Beans, Director of
Electric Utility
Packet Pg. 448 Attachment: City Staff Report October 2020 (9.5(a)--Extend REU Revolving Credit Agreement) Report to Redding City Council October 14, 2020
Re: 6.2--Joint Public Hearing re REU Revolving Credit Agreement Page 2 Background/ Analysis
On April 21, 2020, the Redding Electric Utility presented to the Council the financial impacts of COVID- 19. The presentation included mitigating measures in place and planned. One planned measure was the acquisition of a revolving credit agreement (also known as a “ line of credit”) to provide additional reserves in case the COVID- 19 emergency escalated and to ensure long- term financial stability. As part of a formal Request for Proposal process, the utility received a competitive proposal from U.S. Bank, which also provides general banking services for the City of Redding.
Staff recommends entering into the revolving credit agreement with U.S. Bank due to the continued financial uncertainty related to COVID- 19 and future benefits discussed below.
COVID- 19 and Flu Season ( Flu)
Shasta County was elevated to the State of California’s “ Substantial” tier on October 6, 2020 due to an increased case rate per 100, 000 residents. The more restrictive tier required changes to operations for businesses including restaurants and retail operations. Currently, Shasta County Health and Human Services anticipates Shasta County will be further elevated to the Widespread” tier in late October, 2020, which will result in further restrictions on businesses and dampen economic activity. Without significant fiscal intervention by the federal government, the Redding economy may be materially impacted and many customers may be unable to pay their utility bills. Currently, the amount of past due collections is manageable, however, the ongoing uncertainty of COVID-19 as the normal flu season begins is significant.
Capital Outlay Funding
On September 16, 2020, Director Beans presented REU’ s Fiscal Year 2020 annual financial report to the City Council. During that presentation Director Beans mentioned REU’s decreased reliability metrics due to REU’ s aging distribution system. The utility is currently engaging a consulting-engineering firm to assist in the development of a supplemental capital improvement and major maintenance plan to address specific reliability issues. The cost of the supplemental plan will be significant and is in addition to $52 million of capital improvements planned over the next five years. Using a line of credit to maintain adequate liquidity is the best option to match capital expenses with long-term debt due to low carrying costs and the ability to refinance” at fixed rates.
Event Risk Insurance
A line of credit would mitigate risk associated with self-insurance during a period of reduced reserves ( i.e. significant capital outlay). During the 2018 Carr Fire and subsequent recovery, REU incurred approximately $9 million of costs. During the 2019 Snow Storm and subsequent recovery, REU incurred approximately $ 3 million of costs. Fortunately, adequate reserves were available to self-fund the improvements until eventual reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA) and California Office of Emergency Services CalOES). Both aforementioned reimbursements were outstanding at the same time. Should an unpredictable event of this magnitude occur while the utility was drawing down reserves for capital outlay, the utility could rely on the line of credit for liquidity until FEMA/CalOES reimbursement occurs.
Deleveraging Opportunities ( Illustrative Only)
REU could use reserves to deleverage while maintaining liquidity with access to a line of credit.
Packet Pg. 449 Attachment: City Staff Report October 2020 (9.5(a)--Extend REU Revolving Credit Agreement) Report to Redding City Council October 14, 2020
Re: 6.2--Joint Public Hearing re REU Revolving Credit Agreement Page 3 For example, approximately $26 million of bonds will become callable in 2025 (2015As). If the 2015As were called in 2025, annual debt service would be reduced by approximately $ 3.5 million. Reducing annual debt service would mitigate anticipated rate increases related to Renewable Portfolio Standards.
REU is not the first electric utility to acquire a line of credit. Many cities employ these credit facilities to provide optionality and ensure staff can make financial decisions that benefit ratepayers. While the maximum available under the agreement is $25,000,000, REU does not intend to draw on the line unless extenuating circumstances deem it necessary.

Re: Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2023, among City of Redding, Redding Joint Powers Financing Authority and U.S. Bank National Association
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have served as general counsel to the Redding Joint Powers Financing Authority ( the Authority") in connection with the execution and delivery of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2023 ( together with all exhibits attached thereto, the " Credit Agreement"), among City of Redding ( the " City"), the Authority and U. S. Bank National Association ( the " Bank"). This letter is being addressed to the Bank pursuant to Section
3. 01( d) of the Credit Agreement. I have examined the Credit Agreement and have made such other investigations of law and fact as I have deemed necessary to render the following opinion.
It is my opinion that:
1) The Authority is a joint exercise of powers agency under Article 1 of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the California Government Code duly organized and existing under and pursuant to the laws of the State of California.
2) The Authority has the legal authority and right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Authority has complied with the provisions of applicable law in all matters relating to the transactions contemplated by Credit Agreement. 3) The actions of the Governing Board ofthe Authority approving and authorizing the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement were duly taken at a special meeting of the Governing Board of the Authority, which was called and held pursuant to law and with all public notice required by law and at which a quorum was present and acting throughout. 4) The Credit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Authority and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by and enforceability against the other parties thereto, the Credit Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation 76 °\

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept the report; and provide direction to staff.
Fiscal Impact
In 2014, the City of Redding (City) received net proceeds of approximately $600,000 from the sale of property to The McConnell Foundation for the development of the Sheraton Hotel.
Subsequently, City Council (Council) authorized the funds to be deposited into a special account to be used for capital investment and deferred maintenance at the Civic Auditorium.
Additionally, some of the proceeds from the Civic Auditorium lease payments have been distributed into this account. Between these sources, minus some previous expenditures, there was approximately $675,000 available. There was no impact to the General Fund with this action.
On September 2, 2025, Council authorized the Mayor to execute a Grant Agreement providing $675,445.57 to Advance Redding, Inc. (Advance Redding), for operations of the Civic Auditorium along with an amendment to the lease agreement waiving the monthly payments of $5,000 until January 2, 2026. The Grant Agreement has been executed and the associated payment is in process.
Alternative Action
The Council could choose not to take action at this time and the agreement would continue as approved or provide staff with alternate direction.

Report to Redding City Council October 1, 2025
Re: 9.6(a)--Consider Terminating Financial Assistance for Civic Auditorium and Advance Redding Page 2
Background/Analysis
At the August 4, 2025, Council meeting, Advance Redding presented the “State of the Civic.” During that presentation, General Manager, Julie Dyar, had two requests from the Council: (1) to use the $675,000 to assist Advance Redding with current expenses; and (2) work with the City to re-structure the existing agreement to ensure future success. On August 19, 2025, Council directed staff to develop a grant agreement for Advance Redding to help support operations of the Civic Auditorium with a total value of $675,445,27 and also directed staff to waive rent payments until January 2, 2026.
On September 2, 2025, Council authorized the Mayor to execute the Grant Agreement and Lease Amendment documents - both agreements were executed on September 9, 2025. On September 16, 2025, Council directed staff to return with a report for discussion and consideration of options, if any, at its next meeting, regarding the terms and conditions of both the Amended and Restated Civic Auditorium Lease Agreement (C-5682) and the executed Grant Agreement (C10981) with Advance Redding.
In general, the terms of the Grant Agreement are:
• One-year term, expiring September 8, 2026;
• The City can terminate with 30 days written notice to Advance Redding; • A grant report shall be submitted detailing exact expenditures, with relevant records or invoices and outcomes noted, prior to the end of the grant term; • The City shall provide a grant in an amount not to exceed $675,445.27 to Advance Redding for activities as set forth in the Scope of Work (Exhibit A, Page 8 of attached contract);
• Payment of said funds shall be made in one lump sum payment within 30 days of the date of this Agreement;
• Any funds paid to Advance Redding shall be used solely for the purposes set forth in the Scope of Work (Exhibit A, Page 8 of attached contract) and in accordance with the terms outlined within this contract;
• Exhibit A details planned expenditures, which includes fencing, utility costs, outdoor stage rental, production costs, and rentals which include lighting and sound; and • Upon termination of this agreement, any funds remaining shall be returned to the City, and any funds not used for the purposes specified in Exhibit A shall be repaid to the City in full.
Per the terms of the Grant Agreement, should the payment be received, and spent on eligible expenses, the City has no recourse to recuperate funds unless the terms of the contract were violated.
The sole term of the Lease Amendment is that rent, previously $5,000 per month, is waived until January 2, 2026.

Report to Redding City Council October 1, 2025
Re: 9.6(a)--Consider Terminating Financial Assistance for Civic Auditorium and Advance Redding Page 3
As further background, the Amended and Restated Civic Auditorium Lease Agreement between the City and Advance Redding, establishes the terms for leasing the Redding Civic Auditorium from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2031. Advance Redding is responsible for managing the venue, ensuring a minimum of 60 event days per year, measured on a three-year rolling average, and accommodating specific community events like Kool April Nites and the July 4th Freedom Festival. The lease allows limited rent-free use of the facility by the City for municipal purposes and natural disaster response.
The rent structure is variable to account for a major subtenant’s presence. In 2022, rent was $10,000 per month and in 2023, increased to approximately $23,356 per month, with cost-ofliving adjustments in 2023 and 2024. However, in December 2023, when Advance Redding received written notice that its subtenant, Bethel Church, intended to terminate its sublease, the rent dropped to $5,000 per month for the remainder of the lease. The rent reduction acknowledged the financial impact of losing a major source of stable income that supported the tenant’s operational viability.
Beyond rent, Advance Redding bears responsibility for interior maintenance, utility costs, and capital upgrades to auditorium seating systems. The City retains responsibility for structural systems such as HVAC, windows, restrooms, grounds maintenance, and parking lots. To this end, Advance Redding has paid in excess of $1 Million dollars for various interior maintenance.
Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental quality Act, and no further action is required.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Accept Report and provide direction regarding the following options related to the Redding Civic Auditorium (C-5682):
(1) Allocation of approximately $675,000 through a grant or loan to Advance Redding for the purpose of assisting in covering operational expenses; (2) Deferment of lease payments of $5,000 per month until January 2026; and (3) Assign two City Council Members to work with staff and Advance Redding on development of a new contract structure to ensure the successful, future operations of the Civic Auditorium.
Fiscal Impact
In 2014, the City of Redding (City) received net proceeds of approximately $600,000 from the sale of property to The McConnell Foundation for the purpose of constructing the Sheraton Hotel. By City Council (Council) direction, the funds were deposited into a special account to be used for capital investment and deferred maintenance at the Civic Auditorium. Additionally, some of the proceeds from the Civic Auditorium lease payments have been distributed into this account. Between these sources, minus some previous expenditures, there is approximately $675,000 available. Therefore, should the Council wish to provide those funds to Advance Redding there would be no additional impact to the General Fund. However, future Civic Auditorium maintenance projects will have less available funding, and staff will be required to seek alternate sources.
Alternative Action
The Council could choose to not provide any direction at this time.

Advance Redding is responsible for managing the venue, ensuring a minimum of 60 event days per year, measured on a three-year rolling average, and accommodating specific community events like Kool April Nites and the July 4th Freedom Festival. The lease allows limited rent-free use of the facility by the City for municipal purposes and natural disaster response.
The rent structure is variable to account for a major subtenant’s presence. In 2022, rent was $10,000 per month and in 2023, increased to approximately $23,356 per month, with cost-ofliving adjustments in 2023 and 2024. However, in December 2023, when Advance Redding received written notice that its subtenant, Bethel Church, intended to terminate its sublease, the rent dropped to $5,000 per month for the remainder of the lease. The rent reduction acknowledged the financial impact of losing a major source of stable income that supported the tenant’s operational viability.
Beyond rent, Advance Redding bears responsibility for interior maintenance, utility costs, and capital upgrades to auditorium seating systems. The City retains responsibility for structural systems such as HVAC, windows, restrooms, grounds maintenance, and parking lots.
