amounts will be proposed in the General Fund Biennial Budget request for FY 2023-25 and
2025-27.
The lease agreement proposes no cost of rent to be collected from the Shasta County Arts
Council (Arts Council); it does require the City of Redding (City) to continue to maintain the
facility, including janitorial supplies, at an estimated cost of $35,000 annually, and utilities
(exeept telephone) with a not-to-exeeed eost of$20,500 annually. Funding for these expenditures

Alter�native Actzon
The City Council could choose to decline to approve the funding and lease agreements with the
Arts Council, or provide staff with alternative direction. Further actions might require the Arts
Council to relocate and its services to Shasta County residents would be negatively impacted and
severely disrupted.
Background/Analysis
The City and the Arts Council have historically entered into two contractual agreements: a lease
agreement for the Old City Hall Arts Center and a funding agreement through which the City
provides financial support to the Arts Council. The Arts Council is fulfilling its obligations,
under both agreements.
The Arts Council is active in the Redding community by meeting with artists or groups to
discuss artistic direction, marketing, infrastructure, operational, and funding needs. The Arts
Council has supported projects and programs that includes the following:
(1) "Voices of the Golden Ghosts" — led by award-winning �lm director, Mark Oliver, the
project tells the story of African American miners in Northern California, during the 1852
gold rush. The project consists of a theatrical play and a series of photography
exhibitions.
(2) Indigenous Peoples' History Day—a celebration of the region's Indigenous Peoples, their
traditions, culture, and history. The Indigenous Peoples' History Day Committee is a
diverse group of people representing the many tribes whose lands make up modern-day
Shasta County and presents an annual celebration festival in October.
(3) The High School J�uried Art Competition held in March, which received participants from
13 county high schools; and the Middle School Juried Art Competition, which received
works from over 300 middle school students.
(4) The Poetry Out Loud program, with �ve local high schools competing to build arts
competency and participation throughout Shasta County schools.
(5) The annual Redding Cultural Cruise which provides music and art to over 600 attendees.
The Redding Cultural District, a state designation awarded to Redding in 2017, continues to
contribute to the revitalization efforts of the Downtown core. The Shasta County Arts Council
has partnered with several organizations including the City of Redding, VIVA Downtown, The
McConnell Foundation, Redding Visitors Bureau, Turtle Bay Exploration Park, and the Shasta
Historical Society to continue working on reinforcing the image of Redding as a culturally
diverse and vibrant destination not only to out-of-the-area visitors but to new and existing
businesses and organizations in Redding.
The four-year FY 2023-27 funding and lease agreements will support the activities of the Arts
Council by providing:
� Annual funding support to the Arts Council starting in the amount of $18,016 and
increasing three pereent to $18,556 in FY 2025-26;
� No cost lease of the �acilities for Old City Ha11 Arts Center to be used by the Arts Council
• Building and grounds maintenance for the Old City Hall Arts Center;
� Utility expenses (excluding telephone) for the Old City Hall Arts Center; and
Report to Redding City Council May 9,2023
Re: 4.6(b)--Shasta CountyArts Council Funding and LeaseAgreements Page 3
• A City Council-appointed representative to serve on the Board of Directors of the Arts
Council.
The Shasta County Arts Council plays a valuable role in the community. The 01d City Hall Arts
Center provides an affordable venue for many local artists and art organizations. The City's
partnership with the Arts Council improves access to the arts and expands the variety of
available artistic experiences, thereby greatly enhancing and enriching the lives of Shasta County
residents.
EnviNonmental Review
The adoption of the lease is categorically exempt from environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 of Title 14 of the
California Code of Regulations. This exemption permits the lease of existing public facilities
when there is negligible or no expansion of use. The adoption of this lease does not expand the
use of the facility.
This funding agreement is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378
and is therefore not subject to CEQA, since it does not have the potential for resulting in either a
direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change
in the environment. 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."
