CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions regarding Carbon Reduction Program funding:
(1) Accept additional grant funds awarded to the City of Redding from the Shasta Regional Transportation Agency for the California Street Bikeway Project; and (2) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 30th Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2023-060 appropriating $500,000 for the project.
Fiscal Impact
Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) has allocated $500,000 in Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) grant funds to the City of Redding (City) for the California Street Bikeway Project.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to accept the additional grant funding. In this case, the City would lose $500,000 in grant funding for the project and the City’s Public Works Department would need to close the funding gap with local streets funding or traffic impact fee funds.
Background/Analysis
The CRP funds are available for five years, with 65 percent allocated as “Local” CRP to regional agencies based on a population formula and 35 percent to state departments of transportation.
SRTA received CRP funding totaling $657,005 for fiscal years 2022/23 and 2023/24 and administered the local CRP funds for the Shasta Region through a competitive process. As a result, SRTA allocated the City $500,000 to augment the existing California Street Bikeway Project.
This project will take place on the west side of California Street, spanning from Division Street to Tehama Street. This is a project to improve both biking and pedestrian infrastructure and will MEETING DATE: February 6, 2024

The project includes constructing a two-way Class IV bikeway and making various enhancements, such as installing a raised concrete barrier island, reconstructing curb ramps, creating bulb-outs, and improving visibility at crossings. The CRP funds for California Street will help complete the California Street cycle track project enhancing active transportation connections in the downtown core and increasing safety.
Environmental Review
Funding acceptance is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no action is required at this time. Staff will request a CEQA determination from Council when the contract is awarded for construction of the California Street Cycle Track Project.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions relative to the City of Redding Tarmac Road Storm Drain Emergency Replacement Project (Project):
(1) Adopt Resolution, by not less than four-fifths affirmative vote, to declare an emergency and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to negotiate an emergency public works contract for the project in an amount not-to-exceed $3,500,000; (2) Authorize construction contingency amount up to a total of $300,000; (3) Approve $50,000 to cover costs for project development; (4) Approve $300,000 to cover costs for construction management and inspection fees; (5) Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 33rd Amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 2025-049 appropriating $4,150,000 for said purpose; and (6) Find that the Project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15269(b) – Emergency Projects.
Fiscal Impact
There have been approximately $55,000 in initial expenses for the project to date for emergency protective measures and engineering. However, due to further inspection, engineering and revised costs estimates the Storm Drain utility does not have sufficient funds to budget for this Project. Therefore, the attached budget resolution is for the Wastewater Utility to provide a loan that will be paid annually, every June 30th and will be amortized annually over a 20-year term at the average pooled cash rate calculated at the time of payment.

The City received notification from the State on March 10, 2026, that the Governor declared emergency for the 2025 Late December Storm (CDAA 2026-02) is eligible for California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) funding, making this Project eligible for funding. If the CDAA funding is approved, then 75 percent of the project cost may be reimbursed to the City of Redding (City) by the State. The remaining City cost share of 25 percent would still be loaned to the Storm Drain utility by Wastewater according to the terms above.

4Updated contract amount to include adequate resources to complete the required emergency repairs 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 adopt the emergency resolution and direct staff to proceed with repairs through the regular Public Contract Code process or provide alternate direction. These processes carry the risk of being too untimely if the City is to immediately protect the public health and safety by restoration of public services and facilities.
If an alternative action is approved staff requests that the budget resolution be adopted to proceed with the Project.
Background/Analysis
On December 21, 2025, a meteorological event known as a convergence line appeared over the City and outlying areas which released an enormous quantity of water consistent with what is calculated to be a once in every 50-year storm. On December 22, 2025, Interim City Manager Kari Kibler, in her role as the Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed that a local emergency existed throughout the City of Redding. Consistent with State law, Redding Municipal Code and City policies, Council held a special meeting on December 26, 2025, to confirm and ratify the Director of Emergency Services’ Proclamation.

Report to Redding City Council April 2, 2026
Re: 9.11(g)--Declare Emergency for the Tarmac Rd Storm Drain Emergency Replacement Project Page 3
On or about December 21, 2025, City crews observed significant failure of a 20-foot by 6-foot natural bottom arch culvert and roadway embankment along Tarmac Road potentially jeopardizing the entire embankment and access for Autumn Glenn Subdivision. Tarmac Road serves approximately 50 residences and is the sole access point other than a narrow emergency access easement on private property. Attached are pictures of the failure and interim protective measures described below.
Staff has contracted with J.F. Shea Construction Inc. for the construction of protective measures and potentially repair. J.F. Shea, a local contractor, was selected based on their technical knowledge, resource availability, and previous performance on emergency projects of similar size and scope. The contract is to provide temporary emergency protective measures including but not limited to slope grading, culvert inlet stabilization, placement of rock slope protection and plastic sheathing to prevent further slope erosion and destabilization of the fill slope supporting Tarmac Road. Construction activities started on December 30, 2025, and the work was completed on December 31, 2025, prior to additional forecasted atmospheric storm events for New Year’s Weekend. Approximately $25,000 have been spent to date. The contractor and the City have continued to monitor the temporary work to assure any additional protective measure are implemented as required. In addition, already having an executed contract with J.F.
Shea will significantly increase their ability to mobilize immediately instead of waiting to secure bonds, insurance and execute contracts.
City engineering staff in cooperation with the Storm Drain utility, contractor, and vendors have been assessing the condition of the arch culvert and roadway. Visual inspections have revealed significant scour erosion of the natural bottom of arch culvert footings throughout and failure of the footing close to the midpoint of the culvert. The embankment slope continues to slough and cracks along the eastbound shoulder and sidewalk are continuing to slowly increase. Staff evaluated a solution to salvage the existing culvert, however due to the extensive scour and damage to the culvert and loss of embankment it was determined that full replacement of the arch culvert with a concrete box culvert was the best solution. Replacement would allow for the roadway embankment to be reconstructed and the box culvert would provide hazard mitigation of future failure due to the concrete bottom of the new culvert. The project will also include concrete headwalls to protect the inlet of the culvert which was a primary cause of failure.
The Resolution seeks authorization to declare an emergency 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. 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 safety by restoring public facilities. If the replacement is not completed prior to fall, 2026 rain season, then there is a potential for catastrophic failure of the culvert and roadway. Failure of the culvert and roadway would be a public access and safety crisis for the Autumn Glenn Subdivision.
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. 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.

Re: 9.11(g)--Declare Emergency for the Tarmac Rd Storm Drain Emergency Replacement Project Page 4
The Resolution has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.
Environmental Review
Staff has determined that the project is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15269 – Emergency Project. The CEQA Section 15269 exemption includes emergency repairs to maintain, repair, restore, demolish, or replace property or facilities damaged or destroyed as a result of a disaster in a disaster-stricken area in which a state of emergency has been proclaimed by the Governor. The 2025 Late December Storms caused significant damage to land, structures, and critical infrastructure in Shasta County, and the California Governor signed a State of Emergency Proclamation for the 2025 Late December Storms on December 24, 2025.

WHEREAS, Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050 and Redding Municipal Code 4.22.120(A)provide that, in the case of emergency, a public agency 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; and
WHEREAS, on or about December 21, 2025, staff was made aware that the 20-foot by 6-foot arch culvert storm water conveyance system under Tarmac Road failed a n d i s causing significant erosion and undermining of the roadway; and WHEREAS, Tarmac Road is critical for the Autumn Glenn Subdivision primary residential access with no other access other than a narrow emergency access on private property; and
WHEREAS, the roadway is vital to the Autumn Glenn Subdivision, public health, safety, and fire protection; and
WHEREAS, a competitive solicitation for bids is anticipated to require at least seven (7) months to design, advertise for bids, and award a contract for construction, after which construction would not occur until the summer 2027 due to the onset of the 2026 rain season; and WHEREAS, failure to complete the arch culvert replacement and roadway embankment repair prior to the 2026 rain season would significantly increase the risk of the total roadway failure and threaten the safety of the Autumn Glenn Subdivision.; and WHEREAS, protective measures of the embankment slope to accommodate the delay necessary for the competitive bidding process would not mitigate or eliminate the threat to persons or property;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. The City Council of the City of Redding finds that the recitals set forth above are true and correct and are hereby adopted as findings of fact.
2. The public interest and necessity require the immediate expenditure of public money to restore the storm water conveyance system to full capacity, protect the public health, safety and welfare, and prevent further damage to the roadway.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution to confirm and ratify the Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services declaring a local emergency.
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 December 21, 2025, a storm event arrived in the City of Redding, ultimately causing conditions 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 resulting in localized flooding, water rescues, and damage to roadways, storm water systems, and other infrastructure. The current forecast calls for continued storms and rainfall which could further exacerbate flooding and increase the difficulty of recovery efforts.

SUBJECT: 2.1--Consider Resolution to confirm and ratify the City of Redding Proclamation declaring a local emergency due to flooding.
Kari Kibler, Interim City
Manager/Personnel Director
Packet Pg. 934 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - Item no. 2.1 - 12/26/25 Council Meeting - Emergency Proclamation (9.11(g)--Declare Emergency for the Report to Redding City Council December 24, 2025
Re: 2.1--Adopt Resolution to Confirm and Ratify the Proclamation Declaring a Local Emergency Page 2
Due to these events and weather conditions, a local emergency was proclaimed on December 22, 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 her capacity as Director of Emergency Services under Redding Municipal Code (RMC) section 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.

Dear Chairperson Kelstrom:
This letter is in response to Shasta County’s request for financial assistance under the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) due to the impacts of the 2025 Late December Storm.
In accordance with the California Emergency Services Act, the Governor declared a State of Emergency to exist in Shasta County on December 24, 2025, for the 2025 Late December Storm. To help the impacted communities recover from the event, CDAA funding is authorized for Shasta County for the 2025 Late December Storm (CDAA 2026-02). My staff will contact your authorized agent on record under separate cover to provide the forms necessary to apply for reimbursement utilizing the CDAA Program.
