Recommendation Conduct a Public Hearing and, upon conclusion: (1) Adopt Resolution to increase REU�'s rates (four percent revenue increase per year) effective January 1, 2024, and January l,2025, for usage beginning on the first day of the first electric billing cycle; (2) Approve a Fixed Charge Credit increase of $2,50 per month to Residential Energy Discount Program customers effective January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for usage beginning on the first day of the first electric billing cycle; and (3) Find that the adoption of this Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under the common-sense clause. Fiscal Impact The City of Redding (City) Electric Utility's (REU) current biennial budget was adopted by the City Council (Council) on June 20, 2023, and incl�uded a five-year financial plan. The financial plan included estimated annual rate increases of four percent per year through 2027. On1y the four percent rate increases for the years 2024 and 2025 are being proposed at this time. Periodic rate adjustments are needed to maintain operating reserves due to necessary capital projects, increased costs due to inflation, and new compliance requirements. The Council's REU Financial Management Policy has a target of 150 days of cash on hand; 75 days for Operating Costs, 30 days for System Critical Failure, and 45 days for Rate Stabilization. Reserves dipped below the Council's reserve policy target in 2023 and are anticipated to fall below 150 days in 2024 and 2026. Without the recommended rate adjustments or a commensurate expenditure decrease, i.e., eliminating the capital improvement program and wildfire mitigation program, expenses will exceed revenues, depleting reserves. Adequate funding is available within the Public Benefits Program budget to provide for the proposed increase in benefits for Residential Energy Discount Program participants. Report to Redding City Council November 30,2023 Re: 6.1--Public Hearing Regarding Electric Utility Rate Increases and Adjustments Page 2 Alternative Action The Council could choose not to adopt the resolution and provide alternative direction to staff. As stated in the fiscal impact, without the recommended rate adjustments, expenses will exceed revenues, deplete reserves, cause REU� to fall short of the Council's Financial Management Policy minimum reserves requirement, and likely impact the utility's bond rating. Background/Analysis REU increased rates in 2022 and 2023 by two percent per year to offset inflationary pressures and comply with federal and state regulatory requirements. Aging infrastructure replacement, rising power supply costs, further inflationary pressures, and funding REU's Senate Bill 901 Wildfire Mitigation Plan drive the need for rate increases. Based on these factors, staff recommends rate increases to maintain a safe electric system while continuing to provide reliable electric service with a solid financial foundation. As expressed in the November 7, 2023, Council report, the proposed rate considerations comprise a four percent revenue increase effective January 1, 2024, for usage beginning on the first day of the first electric billing cycle and a second four percent revenue increase effective January 1, 2025, for usage beginning on the first day of the first electric billing cycle. Increases in the first year are partially offset by a reduction in the Federal Environmental Surcharge, a lasting benefit of the Utility's successful participation in Northern California Power Agency v. U�nited States (Central Valley Project Tmprovement Act), as presented to the Council on June 6, 2023. The effect of the proposed changes on each residential customer's utility bill wi11 depend on how much electricity is used each month. On average, residential customers will see an increase of about $6.75 per month starting in 2024 and an additional $7.75 per month in 2025. In addition, the staff proposes increasing the Residential Energy Discount (Public Benefits Program) for all residential and residential multi-family customers, mitigating the increase for income-qualified households. Commercial customers wi11 experience varying impacts due to differences in their energy usage and business size. On average, Small Commercial customers will see an increase of $14 per month starting in 2024 and an additional $15 per month in 2025. On average, Large Commercial customers will see an increase of $82 per month starting in 2024 and an additional $114 per month in 2025. In preparing this recommendation, staff evaluated REU's established rate philosophy and rate structure, utility forecasting assumptions, and projected revenues to determine the need for these increases. In addition, staff held three meetings with a panel of five community members representing a cross-section of the community. In the meetings, the panel met with members of the staff and outside consultants to discuss the foundation of REU as a not-for-profit public power utility, evaluate the REU's cost of service, and review the proposed rate plan. The panel agreed that the rate increases are appropriate and the proposed rates are fair and equitable. Report to Redding City Council November 30,2023 Re: 6.1--Public Hearing Regarding Electric Utility Rate Increases and Adjustments Page 3 Even with the contemplated rate increases, REU will remain one of California's lowest-cost electricity providers and substantially below PG&E's rates. For example, average residential monthly bi11s for PG&E and the City of Shasta Lake are estimated to be 113 percent and four percent more than the City of Redding in 2025. Staff also evaluated the impact this rate increase would have on low-income residents in the community. As part of the recommendation, staff proposes increasing the Network Access Charge credit for Residential Energy Discount customers to mitigate the proposed rate increases (a $2.50 per month credit increase, from $15.00 to $17.50 in 2024 and from $17.50 to $20.00 in 2025). In December 2010, the Council renamed the "Service Charge" to "Network Aecess Charge" to better reflect its true meaning. There is a common misperception that the Network Access Charge portion of the monthly bill is strictly the cost of ineter reading and billing. This is not correct. The fixed portion of the bill also recovers the cost of providing the infrastructure, such as distribution wires and transfonners necessary to supply electricity to the location. As technology has advanced, the meaning of"Network Access" has evolved and no longer clearly defines what these charges encompass. To reflect these charges' true nature, staff proposes renaming the Network Access Charge to "Fixed Charge." REU is proud of its efforts over the years of providing City of Redding customers with safe, reliable, and low-cost power. To maintain adequate financial operating reserves and relative rate stability through time, it is appropriate that the Council consider adopting electric rate adjustments incrementally to avoid the potential for future "rate shock" while maintaining the financial integrity and bond rating of the Utility.

Redding, CA 96002 Subject: 2024 Rate Study Results and Recommendations Dear Holly: In May 2023, the City of Redding (City) retained NewGen Strategies and Solutions, l�C (NewGen) to develop an update of the 2021 Cost of Service(COS)and Rate Study. This report summarizes the analyses conducted with respect to the updated COS and rate design efforts by NewGen on behalf of Redding Electric Utility(REU) and is referred to herein as the 2024 Rate Study or Study. The Rate Study determined the total cost of providing electric services, the allocation of costs to the various customer classes, and the design of rates for existing and projected customer classes, as more fully described herein. The total cost of providing services predominately includes operations and maintenance (O&M) expenses, debt service, and capital outlays required to operate and maintain the system with high reliability. The Study included an analysis of projected revenue requirements; an unbundled COS analysis based on the forecasted fiscal year(FY)ending lune 30,2024;a rate analysis;and the development of proposed new electric rates. The Test Year (TY) for this Study was defined as the average for FYs 2024 and 2025 (two-year average). � 1�1 1 S 1. The Cost of Service for the TY is approximately$136 million. The projected rate revenue for the TY at current rates is approximately$126.1 million, representing a $9.9 million shortfall or approximately a 7%systemwide revenue deficit. 2. When compared with the previous study, the 2024 Study's distribution expense has increased by approximately $7 million, primarily due to increased spending needed to maintain REU's aging distribution infrastructure. 3. REU's long-term capita) plan aims to revitalize their aging infrastructure by spending approximately $40.2 million on capital projects and general system improvements during the TY. Rather than funding these capital expenditures entirely through retail rates, REU is projected to fund this expense using cash reserves in FY 24 and a debt issuance in FY 25. Due to this, REU's cash reserves are estimated to decline from $49.7 million to$29.5 million prior to the FY 25 debt issuance. 4. The COS results suggest that some classes are under collecting relative to their projected TY COS and some classes are over collecting. At current rates, the Residential and Small Commercial classes are projected to under collect their associated costs by approximately 14% and 23%, respectively. At Eco��s�ics � Strate�� � S#al<eholrlers � S�staina66�ity �rr��.ne�r�enstrate�ies.net DocuSign Envelope ID:COEA9784-5FC1-43A4-A190-FC37B936CC9A Ms. Nolly Spaner November 16, 2023 Page 2 current rates, the Large Commercial Class is projected to over collect their associated costs by approximately 16% in the TY. 5. REU is planning two 4% system-level revenue increases on January 1 in 2024 and 2025. Rates wil) increase most for classes which are currently under recovering their costs (Residential and Small Commercial) and rates will increase least for classes which are currently over collecting their costs (Large Commercial). 6. It is projected that approximately 70% of REU's TY expenses are fixed in nature, but approximately 77% of REU's revenues are collected through variable charges (i.e., energy charges). Due to this imbalance, class-level rate increases for the Residential and Small Commercial classes will prioritize increasing fixed cost recovery via increased customer charges {referred to as "Network Access Charges" in REU's 2023 rate book.) 7. With the recommended rate increases, REU's revenue for the TY is projected to be approximately $131.8 million representing an approximate $4.2 million annual deficit from base rates. Prior to the FY 25 debt issuance, REU intends to utilize its existing cash reserves to fund system capital expenditures and to address this annual deficit. 8. REU proposes to add Light Emitting Diode (LEDj lighting rates to their rate tariff. LED lighting rates have been determined on an "equivalent lumen" basis, and LED bulbs will continue to replace high pressure sodium (HPS)and mercury vapor(MV) bulbs as they age out of the system. s� � � ���ct�rist�cs y C1�ss �Y The COS analysis examines detailed customer usage characteristics by customer class. Table 1 summarizes these characteristics on a TY basis for the customer classes currently served by REU, including projected retail sales (provided in megawatt-hours or MWh, which is a thousand kilowatt-hours, or kWh); number of customers in each class; and estimated contribution to peak demand, based on the 4 coincident peak (4CP) methodology utilized for this Study. Peak demand is the highest level of electricity usage in each period (month) and is measured in kilowatts (kWj. The 4CP demand measures the contribution of each customer class to the system-level monthly peak for the four highest demand months of the year. This 4CP demand measurement is used to allocate fixed costs associated with serving customers during the system peaks. Energy and customer projections were provided by Itron, which is a technology company that provides electric load forecasts for utilities, among other services.The class-level 4CP demand was determined via a regression analysis of REU's FY 23 distribution feeder data.

(2) Numbers may not add due to rounding. The following provides a summary of the cost of service methodology utilized for this Rate Study and applied to the REU System Revenue Requirement to determine the COS results, as presented herein. 1. Functiona(ization and Sub functionalization of Costs — The revenue requirement is assigned to the particular function or sub-function of the utility. Fully integrated utilities like REU typically have production, transmission, distribution, and customer services functions. Sub-functions may include different sources of power supply(generation infrastructure,purchased power,etc.)and transmission REU_Letter Report_FINAL DocuSign Envelope ID:COEA9784-5FC1-43A4-A190-FC37B936CC9A Ms. Nolly Spaner November 16, 2023 Page 4 infrastructure at different voltage levels. Distribution sub-functions may include distribution infrastructure by voltage, metering, billing, collection, etc. 2. Ctassification of Costs—Once costs are functionalized, they are classified based on their underlying nature. Of particular importance is the determination of fixed versus variable costs. Fixed costs remain a financial obligation of the utility regardless of the amount of energy produced whereas variable costs fluctuate based on system energy requirements. Further, fixed and variable costs are associated with utility requirements to meet customer demand,energy, and customer service needs. 3. Altocation of Costs — Once costs are classified, they are allocated to the various customer classes. Allocation factors align with cost classification; for example, demand-related costs are allocated on measures of class demand such as class contribution to the system peak. Energy allocation factors are based on energy consumed by customers. Customer allocation factors are based on the number of customers. C�st �� S�r�ic� �s�lts The results of the COS analysis provide a detailed assessment of the costs required to serve each of the customer classes. These customer class costs are unbundled into utility functions and then classified into demand, energy, and customer components. Customer class costs are compared to the projected revenues under current rates to determine if current rates are sufficient to meet costs. Once completed, the COS analysis is the basis for rate design. A comparison of the TY revenue requirement by class is shown in Table 3.

The COS analysis resulted in a determination of a cost-based "Bundled" service charge which has three components: Customer Charge, Demand Rate, and Energy Rate. The Customer Charge recovers costs associated with serving the customer, including metering, customer service, and other costs. As previously indicated,the Customer Charge from the COS analysis is synonymous with the current Network Access Charge in REU's existing tariffs. The Demand Rate is designed to recover fixed costs for the production and delivery of power for customer classes with demand meters, which for REU includes the Large Commercial customer dass.

E ������ S��rtf�ll� �s�r�� 1 p�ct ��lysis As previously mentioned, REU intends to invest $40.2 million into revitalizing its aging infrastructure during the TY. This spending is being funded via debt issuances in FY 25. REU intends to rely on its cash reserves to fund its capital expenditures prior to the FY 25 bond issuance. REU's financial management policy requires that REU maintain a minimum cash reserve balance which exceeds 75 days of working capital. Based on financial projections through FY 28, 4% annua) revenue increases are required for REU to maintain its cash reserve minimum balance target of 75 days of working capital.

REU intends to increase its system revenue by 4% in 2024 and in 2025. The highest percent rate increases will be to classes that are expected to under recover their costs throughout the TY. REU intends to implement the rate increases on a calendar year basis, meaning these changes will go into effect on January 1 of each year.

Currently, 13%of Residential revenue comes from fixed charges (i.e., the Customer Charge} while 72% of class-level costs are fixed in nature. The proposed rate changes are intended to both improve fixed cost recovery and reduce the class-level under recovery of costs.

CY 23 I.ighting Rates by Bulb Type i�� �st �c���ry As with most utilities, REU's aperational costs are primarily fixed and include debt service, labor, and investments in equipment. Variable costs are primarily related to fuel and purchased power. However, REU is typical of many electric utilities in that it currently recovers the majority of its fixed costs from the variable portion of its rate structures(the energy charge or cents per kWh). Figure 5 provides a summary of the fixed cost recovery(defined as revenue from customer charges and demand charges) compared to the variable cost recovery. This nonalignment between costs, cost causation, and the revenue recovery results in customer energy charges that are higher than the COS and fixed charges that are lower than the COS. However, by not pricing the fixed rates at the costs incurred by REU, the rates can send improper pricing signals to customers and encourage inefficient use of the system.

Fixed vs. Variable Cost Recavery Rate increases for the Residential and Small Commercial classes have prioritized improving fixed cost recovery by means of increasing the Customer Charge. The proposed rate changes increase the average fixed cost recovery for the system from approximately 23% to approximately 26% in 2024 and 28% in 2025. As indicated, the COS analysis suggests that fixed costs for the system are approximately 70% of the total costs and variable costs are approximately 30%of the total costs. �r�tl�si�r�s Based on the results of the analysis completed for this Study,the following conclusions are presented: REU seeks to advance the City's mission to provide high-quality and reliable electric utility services to its customers. This mission is detailed in the infrastructure improvements and upgrades identified in REU's capital plan. REU's current rates and rate structures are insufficient to provide the revenue necessaryto supportthese required system improvements. Annual4%system-level revenue increases are required to fund the capital plan while simultaneously meeting REU's days of cash on hand requirement. REU's existing rate components (i.e., demand, customer charge, and energy) are not properly aligned with its fixed and variable costs. These existing rates and rate structures contribute to REU's current under recovery of its fixed costs from fixed revenues. The proposed changes herein provide for an increase in REU's fixed cost recovery through fixed revenues. C �1 S Based on the conclusions and supparting analyses presented herein, NewGen makes the following recommendations: REU_Letter Report_FINAL DocuSign Envelope ID:COEA9784-5FC1-43A4-A190-FC37B936CC9A Ms. Nolly Spaner November 16, 2023 Page 14 REU should adopt retail rates as described and proposed in this Report.

Residential and sma11 commercial customers operating under this service will receive an estimate of net energy charges and/or demand charges due to REU. At the end of the twelve (12) billing cycles following the date of the generator's final interconnection with the Utility's system and at the end of each successive twelve (12) billing cycles thereafter, the customer shall receive a bill for any applicable charges for electricity used during the previous 12-month period that are unpaid. The customer-generator sha11 be compensated for any net surplus energy transmitted during the previous 12-month period per Special Conditions #3 below. Large Commercial customers will be provided monthly bills for all applicable services,per State Law. SPECIAL CONDITIONS 1. Generation Interconnection Agreement: An interconnection agreement with the customer is required for service under this schedule. The customer must comply with conditions and terms set forth by REU for the safe and efficient interconnection of equipment with the REU electrical system. 2. Net Ener�y: Net energy is Es minus EF, where Es is energy supplied by REU and EF is energy generated by the customer and fed back into REU's system at such times as customer generation exceeds customer requirements. If the net energy value resulting from the above computation is positive, an energy charge shall be applied at the rates specified below. If the calculation of net energy yields a negative result, all such net surplus energy shall be considered net surplus energy transmitted and shall be treated as stated in Special Condition No. 3 below. The components of net energy, Es and EF, shall be determined by the use of inetering equipment best suited for each facility Electric Service A-17 Effective January 1,2024 RENEWABLE RESOURCE NET-METERING SERVICE (Continued) or location, as determined by REU. A11 necessary labor, equipment, materials, and related facilities costs in addition to, or in substitution for, standard City facilities that are required in order to take and sell power through one-meter socket, wi11 be at the customer's expense. 3. Net Surplus Ener�y Transmitted: Net energy transmitted occurs when the cuinulative value of EF exceeds the cumulative value of Es during the entire billing period and is the amount by which the energy generated by the customer and fed back into REU's system exceeds the energy supplied by REU� over an entire billing period. In the event the energy generated exeeeds the energy consumed during the 12-month period, payment will be made for the net surplus energy delivered to REU's grid. This compensation will be based on REU�'s current avoided cost for energy ($0.0608 per kWh effective January l, 2020) and is updated administratively on an annual basis. 4. Payment: Statements of any and a11 monthly service costs will be provided monthly and bills for service will be rendered annually to customers receiving service under the Residential or Small Commercial tariffs outlined herein, per State Law.

Large Commercial customers will be provided monthly bills for all services received under this service,per State Law. Electric Service A-18 Effective January 1,2024 ZERO NET ENERGY SERVICE—(E*ZNE) CHARGES This service will be billed monthly at the applicable residential or commercial service and net of a credit applied for any surplus energy transmitted ($0.0608 per kWh effective January 1, 2020). Surplus energy transmitted occurs when on-site generation exceeds on-site consumption and energy is transmitted to the grid (real-time customer energy generation exceeds real-time customer energy consumption). When a customer's on-site generation meets their on-site consumption, the customer avoids the full utility retail rate. When a customer's on-site generation does not meet their on-site consumption, the customer is charged at the fu11 retail rate. APPLICABILITY The net metering successor tariff is applicable to residential customers and commercial customers where a part or all of the electrical requirements of the customer can be supplied from a solar, wind, or other eligible customer generator as defined in SB489 and SBX1 2 of not more than 1,000 kilotivatts that is owned and operated by the customer.

Customers whose solar and/or wind power production source's rated capacity or capability exceeds 10 kW, up to 1,000 kW or 1 megawatt, could require the development of a co-metering tariff with REU,per statutory requirements, at the sole discretion of REU. CHARACTER OF SERVICE Each service is characterized by the applicable residential or commercial service. SPECIAL CONDITIONS Generation Interconnection Agreement: An interconnection agreement with the customer is required for service under this schedule. The customer must comply with conditions and terms set forth by REU for the safe and efficient interconnection of equipment with the REU electrical system. Electric Service A-19 Effective January 1,2024 POWER COST ADJUSTMENT—(PCA) PURPOSE The purpose of this adjustment is to appropriately adjust for increases in REU's wholesale power costs due to the Revenue Adjustment Clause (RAC) associated with purchases by REU from the Department of Energy, Western Area Power Administration(Western). APPLICATION OF POWER COST ADJUSTMENT The monthly Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) dollar amount to be added to each bill shall be obtained by multiplying the number of kilowatt-hours for which the bill is rendered by the applicable inonthly PCA Factor. This has not been used since the Interim Rate Surcharge was implemented in 1997. CALCULATION OF TI3E POWER COST ADJUSTMENT FACTORS l. The PCA Factor will be calculated and made effective every June 15 and December 15 to reflect any changes in Western's RAC. 2. If Western's RAC amount, in dollars, is a debit(monies owed to Western by Redding), then: a. Western's RAC debit will be adjusted by: (1) Subtracting any amount, in dollars, that is over the PCA Balancing Account's minimum balance of$300,000 as recorded 2 months prior to the effective date of the PCA Factor being calculated; however, (2) If the 2 months'prior balance of the PCA Balancing Account is below $300,000, then the necessary dollar amount required to restore the account to $300,000 will be added to Western's RAC debit. b. The adjusted debit dollar amount (as referenced in Section 2.a.)will be divided by the adjusted sum of all retail kilowatt-hour sales for the 6-month period beginning 12 months prior to the effective date of the PCA Factor. c. The adjusted sum of retail kilowatt-hour sales (as referenced in Section 2.b.)will be determined by multiplying the historical total kilowatt-hour sales by a historical3-year average annual energy growth factor to reflect REU's rate of growth in kilowatt-hour sales. d. The PCA Factor resulting from the calculations in Section 2.b. will be applied as a charge to all retail kilowatt-hour sales on a monthly billing-cycle basis beginning with the effective date of the PCA Factor being calculated. Electric Service A-20 Effective January 1,2024 POWER COST ADJUSTMENT (continued) e. If the calculation of the PCA Factor results in a debit of less than 0.01 cents per kilowatt-hour, then the PCA Factor wi11 be 0.00 cents per kilowatt-hour. The RAC debits from Western wi11 be paid from the PCA Balancing Account. 3. A PCA Balancing Account sha11 be maintained as an operating account for the purposes of accommodating the cash-flow fluctuations inherent in the PCA process. a. Each month when a power bill is rendered from Western, which includes any adjustment for Western's RAC, the account's balance will be calculated as follows: (1) Subtract Western's monthly RAC charge, in dollars, from the balance which existed at the end of the priar month. (2) Add the amount, in dollars,recovered from the application of the PCA Factor, which was effective during the prior month. Such amount shall be the product of kilowatt-hours of energy biIled during the month and the applicable PCA Factor. (3) Add the amount, in dollars, of all interest earned on the average balance of the funds in the PCA Balancing Account. (a) Funds from the monthly collection of the PCA will be invested by the City along with the City's other cash accounts and, therefore, will accrue interest at the average monthly rate paid on the City's variable investment account. b. Best efforts will be made to maintain a minimum balance in the PCA Balancing Account of $300,000. Electric Service A-21 Effective January 1,2024 FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE —(FES) APPLICABILITY This surcharge is applicable to the entire City of Redding service area for all kilowatt-hours billed under all rate schedules. PURPOSE The purpose of this surcharge is to appropriately adjust for increases and decreases in the REU's wholesale power costs due to the Federal Environmental Surcharge (FES) imposed by HR429 of the 1993 statutes, which is associated with purchases by the City of Redding from the Department of Energy, Western Area Power Administration (Western). SURCHARGE The monthly FES dollar amount to be added to or subtracted from each bill, shall be obtained by multiplying the number of kilowatt-hours for which the bill is rendered by the applicable monthly FES Rate. The FES Rate will become effective the first day of the month for which Western imposes the FES and will change from time to time thereafter, when changes in the FES are imposed by Western. CALCULATION OF THE SURCHARGE L The FES Rate will be determined by multiplying the retail kilowatt-hour purchases of Western energy for the following 6-month period as defined in Section 1.A.by the FES rate charged by Western, then by subtracting from the resultant product the FES Balancing Account as defined in Paragraph 2, the difference wi11 then be divided by the total projected retail kilowatt-hour sales as defined in Section 1.A. a. Projected kilowatt-hour sales and purchases for FES calculation purposes shall be those amounts projected most recently by REU. b. If the calculation of the FES Rate results in a surcharge of less than 0.01 cents per kilowatt-hour, then the FES Rate will be 0.00 cents per kilowatt-hour. 2. A FES Balancing Account sha11 be maintained as an operating account for the purposes of accommodating the cash-flow fluctuations inherent in the FES process. Each month when a power bill is rendered from Western,which includes any adjustment for Western's FES, the account's balance will be calculated as follows: a. Subtract Western's monthly FES charge, in dollars, from the balance which existed at the end of the prior month. Electric Service A-22 Effective January 1,2024 FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE (continued) b. Add the amount, in dollars,reeovered from the application of the FES Rate which was effective during the prior month. Such amount shall be the product of kilowatt-hours of energy billed during the month and the applicable FES Rate. c. Add the amount, in dollars, of all interest earned on the average balance of the funds in the FES Balancing Account. Funds from the monthly collection of the FES wi11 be invested by the City along with the City's other cash accounts and, therefore,will accrue interest at the average monthly rate paid on the City's variable investment account. Electric Service A-23 Effective January l,2024 STATE REGULATORY SURCHARGE—(STATE) PURPOSE The State Regulatory surcharge or Energy Commission tax was established in 1975 by the State Board of Equalization, pursuant to Sections 40031 et seq., of the Revenue and Taxation Code of the State of California, to provide funding for the California Energy Commission. SURCIIARGE The monthly dollar amount to be added to or subtracted from each bill shall be obtained by multiplying the number of kilowatt-hours for which the bi11 is rendered by the applicable monthly State surcharge rate.

Demand is another term for power. EZectNic Cu�rent The movement of charged particles (e.g. electrons) in a material (e.g. power lines). Current is measured in units called A�peres or Amps. Kilowatt(kW) One thousand (1,000) watts. Kilowatt is a nominal or standard measurement/rating of the capacity of electric lines or equipment and demand or power. Kilowatt-hour(kWh) Kilowatt-hour is the standard measurement of electric energy. One kilowatt-houN is the amount of energy it takes to run a 100-watt light bulb for 10 hours. (100 watts X 10 hours = 1,000 watt-hours= 1 kilowatt-hour.) Load Any device that can convert the energy from electric current into some other useful form of energy, such as light, heat, sound, or mechanical motion. In electrical terms, load also refers to the amount of electric demand or power that the device uses or is rated to use. Load Factor The ratio of the actual energy consumed and the maximum potential energy available during a specified time period,usually expressed as a percentage. e.g. 10 000 kWh/mo = 10,000 kWh/mo = 69.4% 20 kW Demand x 720 hours/mo 14,400 kWh/mo Load Factor Fixed Charge The monthly charge established for each customer for access to the electric distribution system. This includes the costs of installing and maintaining the electric lines and transformers necessary to provide electricity to the customer's location. This charge also includes the costs of installing, maintaining and reading the lneter, as well as all other billing and customer service related functions provided by the Utility. Power The rate at which electric energy is delivered by an electric current. Powe� is equal to the product of voltage and current(Volts X Amps= Watts). Voltage The force tha�moves charged particles (e.g. electrons) in material. It is measured in units called Volts. Watt(i� The standard measurement of electric power. One hundred watts is the rate of energy transfer equal to 10 amps flowing under the influence of 10 volts.

If the net energy value resulting from the above computation is positive, an energy charge shall be applied at the rates specified below. If the calculation of net energy yields a negative result, all such net surplus energy shall be considered net surplus energy transmitted and shall be treated as stated in Special Condition No. 3 below. The components of net energy, Es and EF, shall be determined by the use of inetering equipment best suited for each facility Electric Service A-17 Effective January 1,2025 RENEWABLE RESOURCE NET-METERING SERVICE (Continued) or location, as determined by REU. A11 necessary labor, equipment, materials, and related facilities costs in addition to, or in substitution for, standard City facilities that are required in order to take and sell power through one-meter socket, wi11 be at the customer's expense. 3. Net Surplus Ener�y Transmitted: Net energy transmitted occurs when the cuinulative value of EF exceeds the cumulative value of Es during the entire billing period and is the amount by which the energy generated by the customer and fed back into REU's system exceeds the energy supplied by REU� over an entire billing period. In the event the energy generated exeeeds the energy consumed during the 12-month period, payment will be made for the net surplus energy delivered to REU's grid. This compensation will be based on REU�'s current avoided cost for energy ($0.0608 per kWh effective January l, 2020) and is updated administratively on an annual basis. 4. Payment: Statements of any and a11 monthly service costs will be provided monthly and bills for service will be rendered annually to customers receiving service under the Residential or Small Commercial tariffs outlined herein, per State Law. I-�owever, such customers operating under this rate schedule will be allowed to provide periodic (e.g. monthly or bi-monthly) payments for services rendered, if applicable, to avoid an unbudgeted utility expense. Large Commercial customers will be provided monthly bills for all services received under this service,per State Law. Electric Service A-18 Effective January 1,2025 ZERO NET ENERGY SERVICE—(E*ZNE) CHARGES This service will be billed monthly at the applicable residential or commercial service and net of a credit applied for any surplus energy transmitted ($0.0608 per kWh effective January 1, 2020). Surplus energy transmitted occurs when on-site generation exceeds on-site consumption and energy is transmitted to the grid (real-time customer energy generation exceeds real-time customer energy consumption). When a customer's on-site generation meets their on-site consumption, the customer avoids the full utility retail rate. When a customer's on-site generation does not meet their on-site consumption, the customer is charged at the fu11 retail rate. APPLICABILITY The net metering successor tariff is applicable to residential customers and commercial customers where a part or all of the electrical requirements of the customer can be supplied from a solar, wind, or other eligible customer generator as defined in SB489 and SBX1 2 of not more than 1,000 kilotivatts that is owned and operated by the customer. The generator must be connected for parallel operation with the service of REU, it must be located on the customer's premises, and it must be intended to offset part ar all of the customer's electrical requirements. Customers whose solar and/or wind power production source's rated capacity or capability exceeds 10 kW, up to 1,000 kW or 1 megawatt, could require the development of a co-metering tariff with REU,per statutory requirements, at the sole discretion of REU. CHARACTER OF SERVICE Each service is characterized by the applicable residential or commercial service. SPECIAL CONDITIONS Generation Interconnection Agreement: An interconnection agreement with the customer is required for service under this schedule. The customer must comply with conditions and terms set forth by REU for the safe and efficient interconnection of equipment with the REU electrical system. Electric Service A-19 Effective January 1,2025 POWER COST ADJUSTMENT—(PCA) PURPOSE The purpose of this adjustment is to appropriately adjust for increases in REU's wholesale power costs due to the Revenue Adjustment Clause (RAC) associated with purchases by REU from the Department of Energy, Western Area Power Administration(Western). APPLICATION OF POWER COST ADJUSTMENT The monthly Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) dollar amount to be added to each bill shall be obtained by multiplying the number of kilowatt-hours for which the bill is rendered by the applicable inonthly PCA Factor. This has not been used since the Interim Rate Surcharge was implemented in 1997. CALCULATION OF TI3E POWER COST ADJUSTMENT FACTORS l. The PCA Factor will be calculated and made effective every June 15 and December 15 to reflect any changes in Western's RAC. 2. If Western's RAC amount, in dollars, is a debit(monies owed to Western by Redding), then: a. Western's RAC debit will be adjusted by: (1) Subtracting any amount, in dollars, that is over the PCA Balancing Account's minimum balance of$300,000 as recorded 2 months prior to the effective date of the PCA Factor being calculated; however, (2) If the 2 months'prior balance of the PCA Balancing Account is below $300,000, then the necessary dollar amount required to restore the account to $300,000 will be added to Western's RAC debit. b. The adjusted debit dollar amount (as referenced in Section 2.a.)will be divided by the adjusted sum of all retail kilowatt-hour sales for the 6-month period beginning 12 months prior to the effective date of the PCA Factor. c. The adjusted sum of retail kilowatt-hour sales (as referenced in Section 2.b.)will be determined by multiplying the historical total kilowatt-hour sales by a historical3-year average annual energy growth factor to reflect REU's rate of growth in kilowatt-hour sales. d. The PCA Factor resulting from the calculations in Section 2.b. will be applied as a charge to all retail kilowatt-hour sales on a monthly billing-cycle basis beginning with the effective date of the PCA Factor being calculated. Electric Service A-20 Effective January 1,2025 POWER COST ADJUSTMENT (continued) e. If the calculation of the PCA Factor results in a debit of less than 0.01 cents per kilowatt-hour, then the PCA Factor wi11 be 0.00 cents per kilowatt-hour. The RAC debits from Western wi11 be paid from the PCA Balancing Account. 3. A PCA Balancing Account sha11 be maintained as an operating account for the purposes of accommodating the cash-flow fluctuations inherent in the PCA process. a. Each month when a power bill is rendered from Western, which includes any adjustment for Western's RAC, the account's balance will be calculated as follows: (1) Subtract Western's monthly RAC charge, in dollars, from the balance which existed at the end of the priar month. (2) Add the amount, in dollars,recovered from the application of the PCA Factor, which was effective during the prior month. Such amount shall be the product of kilowatt-hours of energy biIled during the month and the applicable PCA Factor. (3) Add the amount, in dollars, of all interest earned on the average balance of the funds in the PCA Balancing Account. (a) Funds from the monthly collection of the PCA will be invested by the City along with the City's other cash accounts and, therefore, will accrue interest at the average monthly rate paid on the City's variable investment account. b. Best efforts will be made to maintain a minimum balance in the PCA Balancing Account of $300,000. Electric Service A-21 Effective January 1,2025 FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE —(FES) APPLICABILITY This surcharge is applicable to the entire City of Redding service area for all kilowatt-hours billed under all rate schedules. PURPOSE The purpose of this surcharge is to appropriately adjust for increases and decreases in the REU's wholesale power costs due to the Federal Environmental Surcharge (FES) imposed by HR429 of the 1993 statutes, which is associated with purchases by the City of Redding from the Department of Energy, Western Area Power Administration (Western). SURCHARGE The monthly FES dollar amount to be added to or subtracted from each bill, shall be obtained by multiplying the number of kilowatt-hours for which the bill is rendered by the applicable monthly FES Rate. The FES Rate will become effective the first day of the month for which Western imposes the FES and will change from time to time thereafter, when changes in the FES are imposed by Western. CALCULATION OF THE SURCHARGE L The FES Rate will be determined by multiplying the retail kilowatt-hour purchases of Western energy for the following 6-month period as defined in Section 1.A.by the FES rate charged by Western, then by subtracting from the resultant product the FES Balancing Account as defined in Paragraph 2, the difference wi11 then be divided by the total projected retail kilowatt-hour sales as defined in Section 1.A. a. Projected kilowatt-hour sales and purchases for FES calculation purposes shall be those amounts projected most recently by REU. b. If the calculation of the FES Rate results in a surcharge of less than 0.01 cents per kilowatt-hour, then the FES Rate will be 0.00 cents per kilowatt-hour. 2. A FES Balancing Account sha11 be maintained as an operating account for the purposes of accommodating the cash-flow fluctuations inherent in the FES process. Each month when a power bill is rendered from Western,which includes any adjustment for Western's FES, the account's balance will be calculated as follows: a. Subtract Western's monthly FES charge, in dollars, from the balance which existed at the end of the prior month. Electric Service A-22 Effective January 1,2025 FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE (continued) b. Add the amount, in dollars,reeovered from the application of the FES Rate which was effective during the prior month. Such amount shall be the product of kilowatt-hours of energy billed during the month and the applicable FES Rate. c. Add the amount, in dollars, of all interest earned on the average balance of the funds in the FES Balancing Account. Funds from the monthly collection of the FES wi11 be invested by the City along with the City's other cash accounts and, therefore,will accrue interest at the average monthly rate paid on the City's variable investment account. Electric Service A-23 Effective January l,2025 STATE REGULATORY SURCHARGE—(STATE) PURPOSE The State Regulatory surcharge or Energy Commission tax was established in 1975 by the State Board of Equalization, pursuant to Sections 40031 et seq., of the Revenue and Taxation Code of the State of California, to provide funding for the California Energy Commission. SURCIIARGE The monthly dollar amount to be added to or subtracted from each bill shall be obtained by multiplying the number of kilowatt-hours for which the bi11 is rendered by the applicable monthly State surcharge rate. The State surcharge rate will become effective the first day of the month for which the State imposes the surcharge, and will change from time to time thereafter when changes to the rate are made by the State. As of January, 2021, the surcharge is set at $0.0003 per kWh. This rate is subject to revision from time to time by the California State Board of Equalization. The surcharge does not apply to electric service for federal government and certain other agencies. (E*US) Electric Service A-24 Effective January l,2025 GLOSSARY OF TERMS Demand The average rate over a given period of time that a customer requires delivery of electric energy from the Utility system. Demand is another term for power. EZectNic Cu�rent The movement of charged particles (e.g. electrons) in a material (e.g. power lines). Current is measured in units called A�peres or Amps. Kilowatt(kW) One thousand (1,000) watts. Kilowatt is a nominal or standard measurement/rating of the capacity of electric lines or equipment and demand or power. Kilowatt-hour(kWh) Kilowatt-hour is the standard measurement of electric energy. One kilowatt-houN is the amount of energy it takes to run a 100-watt light bulb for 10 hours. (100 watts X 10 hours = 1,000 watt-hours= 1 kilowatt-hour.) Load Any device that can convert the energy from electric current into some other useful form of energy, such as light, heat, sound, or mechanical motion. In electrical terms, load also refers to the amount of electric demand or power that the device uses or is rated to use. Load Factor The ratio of the actual energy consumed and the maximum potential energy available during a specified time period,usually expressed as a percentage. e.g. 10 000 kWh/mo = 10,000 kWh/mo = 69.4% 20 kW Demand x 720 hours/mo 14,400 kWh/mo Load Factor Fixed Charge The monthly charge established for each customer for access to the electric distribution system. This includes the costs of installing and maintaining the electric lines and transformers necessary to provide electricity to the customer's location. This charge also includes the costs of installing, maintaining and reading the lneter, as well as all other billing and customer service related functions provided by the Utility. Power The rate at which electric energy is delivered by an electric current. Powe� is equal to the product of voltage and current(Volts X Amps= Watts). Voltage The force tha�moves charged particles (e.g. electrons) in material. It is measured in units called Volts. Watt(i� The standard measurement of electric power. One hundred watts is the rate of energy transfer equal to 10 amps flowing under the influence of 10 volts. Electric Service A-25 Effective January l,2025 � � �' � � � � � � ' � �' � � ' � ` CITY OF REDDING REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 7, 2023 FROM: Nick Zettel, Director of ITEIVI NO. 4.5(b) Redding Electric I7tility ***APPROVED BY*** � ��. ; � _ � v �� ��„ ���� �1c ct c, yrectc� �ii' e in� tri�ttt32ity 14�.2€�,"?t�2� �_ �p�it�,C�i ��t t� ItJ�'31,{'2{}?: nzettel@cityofredding.org btippin@cityofredding.org SUBJECT: 4.5(b)--Consider setting a Public Hearing for December 5, 2023 regarding Reddin Electric Utilit rate increases. Recommendation Approve setting a Public Hearing on December 5, 2023, at 6:00 p.m., in the City Council Chambers, 777 Cypress Avenue, Redding, California, to consider increases in Redding Electric Utility (REU) rates (four percent revenue increase per year) effective with the January 2024 and J�anuary 2025 billing cycles, and an increase in the benefit of REU's Residential Energy Discount for income-qualified households. Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact associated with setting the public hearing. Alte�native Action The City Council (Council) could choose not to seti the public hearing as proposed and provide further direction to staff. Backgrou n d/f1 n alysis REU increased rates in 2022 and 2023 by two percent per year to offset inflationary pressures and comply with federal and state regulatory requirements. Aging infrastructure replacement, rising power supply costs, further inflationary pressures, and funding REU's Senate Bill 901 Wildfire Mitigation Plan drive the need for rate increases. REU has mitigated cost increases as much as possible, limiting controllable operations and maintenance costs to a less than three percent annual growth rate despite record-breaking inflation. REU's current biennial budget, adopted by the Council on June 20, 2023, included a five-year financial plan. The financial plan included a four percent revenue increase every year through 2027 and a two percent increase in 2028. Only the four percent rate increases for the years 2024 and 2025 are being proposed at this time. Report to Redding City Council October 31,2023 Re: 4.5(b)--Set a Public Hearing for December 5,2023 regarding REU rate increases Page 2 The effect of the proposed changes on each customer's utility bill will depend on several factors, including how much electricity is used each month. On average, standard residential customers will see an increase of about $6.75 per month starting in 2024 and an additional $7.75 per month. in 2025. In addition, staff will recommend increasing the Residential Energy Discount (Public Benefits Program) for all Residential and Residential Multi-Family customers, mitigating a portion of the rate increase for income-qualified customers. Commercial customers wi11 experience varying impacts due to differences in their energy usage and business size. The City of Redding (City) wi11 provide tables and calculators to the public before the public hearing. These tools will be accessible on the City's website and at public workshops. They wi11 display estimated changes in bi11s for different types of customers. Customers can also enter their own energy usage to see how these changes may affect them. Staff projections show that REU would remain the lowest electric provider in the area, with average standard residential bi11s for REI7, Shasta Lake, and PG&E at $160, $166, and $341, respectively(2025 projected rates). A panel of five community members representing a cross-section of REU's custoiner makeup participated in a three-part meeting series to discuss the foundations of not-for-profit public power, evaluate REU's cost of service, and review the proposed rate plan. The consensus of the panel was that the proposed rate increases are appropriate, fair, and equitable. Additional public workshops wi11 be held prior to the public hearing, both in-person and web- based, to ensure inclusion, and information wi11 be provided directly to community-based organizations. Council Prio�ity/City Manager Goals • Budget and Financial Management — "Achieve balaneed and stable 10-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." 4 fj� (+;� � ��'{�7�3�'�74}���t��}���rff , � � t� ;f��;'�}{�{�j����'Tct`���iJ�i�I���}���i���ttf��{�S}ttjr�#�#�s �ii, tt�� t� , �i }t�i�7� ��}isi l ,s,��,. t t�rt} x�.��, t, �a�1�7��`4't r Ytt �f t,:=`, �;:� � y,g � �Sh�t r��{? t h �q&�1�'��{1��`f{��f {f� ,��`��,�;��St�(��j����s7��ri}yt i r}.; .

Hello! The City took a huge step in approving Goodwater Crossing. We've had over 50 volunteers involved so far in making this happen from fundraising and research to planning and construction. The City has generously provided $45,000 for construction at this site to supplement the $156,000 in private funding including over $70,000 that has come from personal, individual donations from local community members. All of this support has brought Goodwater Crossing to where it is now in the construction stage. As was addressed during the Goodwater Crossing hearing, the supportive micro-shelter model has worked with great success in many places throughout California and beyond. We are already seeing the same success repeated at the Mark St location. Thanks to the community collaboration and public/private partnership that has already been established, we are making great strides toward one of the major solutions to homelessness in our community. We are hopeful that the City Council will continue to fully support micro shelter efforts, providing funds, community messaging support, and administrative prioritization to move these projects forward toward successful implementation. Give us a Christmas Miracle:) Thank you, Alena Braud From: Members.Co�neil To: �ack Nlunns;7ulie Winter; N1ark Nlezzano; Nliehael Dac uisto;Tenessa Audette Cc: Ti i�,�arrv;Bade,�teve;DeWalt,B�rrv; �arr�hart,Erin;Tipton �h�rlene Subject: FW:Approval for HHIP funding and dispersing funds as planned-Item 9.2(a)on tonight"s 12/5/23 Council Agenda Date: Tuesday,December 5,2023 8:09:00 AM From:Anne Clark Sent: Monday, December 4, 2023 8:15 PM To: Dacquisto, Michael <mdacquisto@cityofredding.org>; Mezzano, Mark <mmezzano@cityofredding.org>; Audette,Tenessa <taudette@cityofredding.org>; Winter,Julie <jwinter@cityofredding.org>; Munns,Jack<jmunns@cityofredding.org> Cc:Tippin, Barry<btippin@cityofredding.org>; Bade, Steve<sbade@cityofredding.org> Subject:Approva) for HHIP funding and dispersing funds as planned �A,G,�l�t";P��: �his c�cr�<;il G>�rvi��in�t�c�frrrr���a�at�ic��.x tV���i�y c�l F��r�+:�in�,;; pl��s���c��r�9���€�ith lir�k.��r�tt�chrn�nt.s. Dear Redding City Councilmembers: As longtime residents of Shasta County, we urge you to make a motion to approve the previousiy recommended six projects that were not approved for Housing and Homeless Incentive Program (HHIPJ funding on November 7, 2023. We aiso urge you to authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the agreements required to disperse the funds and ensure they are spent as pianned. Please consider the foilowing information that supports this recommendation. 1. The HHIP granting agency Department of Health Care Services (DHCSJ developed the initiative and funding sovrce to "enhance and expand Medi- Cai community-based services." Specificaily the funding is intended to better connect homeless or at risk of homeless to medical services and supportive services that place them on the path to housing. 2. HHIP funding was provided to Partnership HealthPlan of CA (PHP) as a Managed Care Programs (MCPJ to be distributed to each county PHP serves. 3. Partnership HealthPlan prioritized HHIP funding to be used for street medicine outreach and directed $100,000 be provided to locai programs to see improved outcomes utilizing street medicine outreach. 4. The City of Redding original RFP incorporated the DHCS and PHP prioritizations. 5. 7he original eight projects recommended for HHIP funding approval on November 7, 2023, were designed by local agencies with knowledge of the current local needs who responded to the CoR RFP which was aligned with the DHCS HHIP criteria and Partnership HeaithPlan prioritization of HHIP funding. 6. The six projects recommended for HHIP funding wouid provide street medicine outreach, emergency sheiter for homeless including families and youth, transitional housing, inciuding micro-shelters, provide for a sober living project and support for the interim day center at the Good News Rescue Mission. HHIP funding is intended to improve the system of inedical care and supportive services to ensure more homeless or at risk of homeless are better prepared to transition from emergency shelter, micro-shelters and other transitional housing to permanent supportive housing. As to future funding of Redding's micro-shelters, particularly Goodwater Crossing, the City took a huge step in approving Goodwater Crossing. Goodwater Crossing has had over 50 voiunteers involved so far in making this happen from fundraising and research to planning and construction.

Dear Mayor Daquisto and all the members of the Redding City Council, I have been concerned and involved with helping the local unhoused in a minimal way for some time. It has come to my attention that this City Council voted AGAINST the recommendations of your advisory council on this matter. My immediate reaction is: "WHAT? Are you CRAZY?" The ONE THING that people complain the most about in this town (other than potholes!) is the prevalence of 'the homeless' everywhere they go. The county chose several years ago to turn down a ton of money from the State to help deal with this issue. Instead of implementing the Navagation Center plan, theyjust quibbled about how to do it until the time for using that money just ran out, and absolutely NOTHING was done. In the meantime, YOU approved the construction and implementation of two micro shelters, one at Mark St, which is currently up and running, very successfully, I understand. The second is to go in behind St �uke's �utheran Church, with the support of the congregation and the local residents. I believe that one is called Goodwater Crossing. That one is now in construction. The advisory council made the recommendation that the city approve and support 6 micro shelter projects, including the Goodwater Crossing site and Mark St, and to move forward with the existing plan. But now you've voted this down! WNY? This decision and delay is causing great cancerr� among all of Redding's social service providers, especially the micro-shelter programs as they are in the earliest stages of implementation and are extremely vulnerable right naw. The City of Redding request for propasal included the recommendations of the DHCS and the Partnership Nealth Plan priorities, which was that the HHIP funding was ta be used far street medicine outreach.

Please consider the following information that supports this recommendation. The HHIP granting agency Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) developed the initiative and funding source to "enhance and expand Medi-Ca] community-based services." Specifically the funding is intended to better connect homeless or at risk of homeless to medical services and supportive services that place them on the patb to housing. HHIP funding was provided to Partnership HealthPlan of CA (PHP) as a Managed Care Programs (MCP) to be distributed to each county PHP serves. Partnership HealthPlan prioritized HHIP funding to be used for street medicine outreach and directed $100,000 be provided to 1oca1 programs to see improved outcomes utilizing street medicine outreach. The City of Redding original RFP incorporated the DHCS and PHP prioritizations. The original eight projects recommended for HHIP funding approval on November 7,2023, were designed by local agencies with knowledge of the current local needs who responded to the CoR RFP which was aligned with the DHCS HHIP criteria and Partnership HealthPlan prioritization of HHIP funding. The six projects recommended for HHIP funding would provide street medicine outreach, emergency shelter for homeless including families and youth, transitional housing, including micro-shelters,provide for a sober living project and support for the interim day center at the 1Vlission. FIIP funding is intended to improve the system of inedical care and supportive services to ensure more homeless or at risk of homeless are better prepared to tiransition from emergency shelter, micro-shelters and other transitional housing to permanent supportive housing. Speaking to the question about funding micro-shelters (focusing on Goodwater Crossing}, the City took a huge step in approving Goodwater Crossing. We've had over 50 volunteers involved so far in making this happen from fundraising and research to planning and construction.The City has generously provided $45,000 for construction at this site to supplement the $156,000 in private funding including over$70,000 that has come from personal, individual donations from local community members. All of this support has brought Goodwater Crossing to where it is now in the construction stage. As was addressed during the Goodwater Crossing hearing, the supportive micro- shelter model has worked with great success in many places throughout California and beyond. We are already seeing the same success repeated at the Mark St location. Thanks to the community collaboration and public/private partnership that has already been established, we are making great strides toward one of the major solutions to homelessness in our community. We are hopeful that the City Council will continue to fully support micro shelter efforts, providing funds, community messaging support, and administrative prioritization to move these projects forward toward successful implementation.

I am a bit baffled at your decision on Nov. 7tn regarding the Housing& Homeless Incentive Program (HHIP). After months of preparation by trusted organizations working to provide direct services to the homeless in coordination with city staff, and the recommendations of the Housing Division Rating and Ranking Committee, you decided to redirect funds to other sources and requested additional application for funding to be submitted, hopefully, in February 2024. This decision left six proven programs out in the cold. I urge you to reconsider your decision at tonight's meeting and to approve the HHIP funding as originally recommended. Respectfully, Gregory L.

As an executive who works in the City of Redding and a resident of Tehama County, our homeless problem is evident in both Shasta and Tehama Counties. Finding a means of shelter provides confidence and security for these citizens encouraging them to become productive citizens of society. The micro shelter program is one very important initiative that has had great success in the City of Redding and the United Way management of this program and funds has been instrumental if not required for the success. Please support the homelessness funding recommendations made by City Staff on November 7. The reversal of these funds will be catastrophic to the homeless community and a further blow to our efforts to teach these residents "how to fish" as the security of shelter and the supportive services that the resident staff provides allows these individuals to gain the confidence, life skills and access to information and services needed to get back on their feet.

We are requesting that the City Council take the following action on December 5, 2023: Make a motion to approve the previously recommended six projects that were not approved for HHIP funding on November 7, 2023, and authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the agreements required to disperse the funds and ensure they are spent as planned. Specifically, we are interested in seeing the funding approved for Goodwater Crossing. The City took a huge step in approving Goodwater Crossing. We've had over 50 volunteers involved so far in making this happen from fundraising and research to planning and construction.The City has generously provided $45,000 for construction at this site to supplement the$156,000 in private funding including over $70,000 that has come from personal, individual donations from local community members. All of this support has brought Goodwater Crossing to where it is now in the construction stage. As was addressed during the Goodwater Crossing hearing,the supportive micro-shelter model has worked with great success in many places throughout California and beyond. We are already seeing the same successrepeated at the Mark St location. Thanks to the community collaboration and public/private partnership that nas already been established, we are making great strides toward one of the major solutions to homelessness in our community. We are hopeful that the City Council will continue to fully support micro shelter efforts, providing funds, community messaging support, and administrative prioritization to move these projects forward toward successful implementation.

I am here to urge you to move forward witih this funding to the community proj ects thati are prioritizing the health of the unhoused community. This is funding that is meant to be used to care for the most needy in our community who are at risk. It is not meant to sit for months in limbo while these unhoused community members suffer through day-to-day challenges. I urge you to take a moment and imagine yourself in your own front yard. It is winter. Zt is 50° outside and you are getting wet from the rain. You hurry to your front porch wrapping yourself in a damp blanket and sit undercover. You are unable to get into your house. You have no phone. The door is locked and you will have to wait 3 months for someone to try to help you get in. As you sit, wondering if they will actually be able to accomplish this feat, it is getting dark. It will get down to 38° tonight. Meanwhile a group of people walk by hurling disparaging comments. One person spits on you, followed by another as they all laugh and continue walking by. Later around 2:00 in the morning,just as you are falling asleep, two men walk by and decide that you would be a good target for their frustration. They wake you up with loud laughter and cursing insults as they publicly urinate on you. As the months go by, you are assaulted by battery and by rape. You are convinced by drug dealers that you must buy drugs in order to stay awake and prevent someone from stealing your blanket. As we get deeper into this nightmare you might say " I would never allow any of that to happen to me! I would get help from friends. I would get someone to unlock my door." But the door is fading behind you. Any friends that you may have had have all been lost. They have decided that you shouldn't have gone out in your front yard and now you are getting what you deserve. They might consider trying to find a locksmith. Maybe in two or three months. There are people in our community who would like to get the locksmith there sooner. They have already started gathering the tools. This city council has the ability to get the door unlocked sooner. Please consider the hopeless.

Please consider the following information that supports this recommendation. 1. The HHIP granting agency Department of Health Care Services (DHCSJ developed the initiative and funding source to "enhance and expand Medi- Cai community-based services." Specifically the funding is intended to better connect homeless or at risk of homeless to medicai services and supportive services that place them on the path to housing. 2. HHIP funding was provided to Partnership HeaithPlan of CA (PHP) as a Managed Care Programs (MCP) to be distributed to each county PHP serves. 3. Partnership HealthPlan prioritized HHIP funding to be used for street medicine outreach and directed $100,000 be provided to local programs to see improved outcomes utilizing street medicine outreach. 4. The City of Redding original RFP incorporated the DHCS and PHP prioritizations. 5. The original eight projects recommended for HHIP funding approval on November 7, 2023, were designed by local agencies with knowledge of the current local needs who responded to the CoR RFP which was aligned with the DHCS HHIP criteria and Partnership HealthPian prioritization of HHIP funding. 6. The six projects recommended for HHIP funding would provide street medicine outreach, emergency sheiter for homeless including families and yovth, transitional housing, inciuding micro-shelters, provide for a sober living project and support for the interim day center at the Good News Rescue Mission. HHIP funding is intended to improve the system of inedical care and supportive services to ensure more homeless or at risk of homeless are better prepared to transition from emergency shelter, micro-shelters and other transitional housing to permanent supportive housing. As to future funding of Redding's micro-shelters, particularly Goodwater Crossing, the City took a huge step in approving Goodwater Crossing. Goodwater Crossing has had over 50 volunteers involved so far in making this happen from fundraising and research to planning and construction.

As to future funding of Redding's micro-shelters, particularly Goodwater Crossing, the City took a huge step in approving Goodwater Crossing. Goodwater Crossing has had over 50 volunteers involved so far in making this happen from fundraising and research to planning and constr�ction. The City has generously provided $45,000 for construction at this site to s�pplement the $156,000 in private funding including over$70,000 that has come from personal, individual donations from local community members. All of this support has brought Goodwater Crossing to where it is now in the construction stage. As was addressed d�ring the Goodwater Crossing hearing, the supportive micro-shelter model has worked with great success in many places throughout California and beyond. We are already seeing the same success repeated at the Mark St location. Thanks fio the community collaboration and p�blic/private partnership that has already been established, we are making great strides toward one of the major solutions to homelessness in our community. We are hopeful that the City Council will continue to fully support micro shelter efforts, providing funds, community messaging support, and administrative prioritization to move these projects forward toward successful implementation.

Dear Council Members: All of us, whether Redding or surrounding areas, are affected by�he unhoused people in our community. Many more people are one paycheck, medical bi]1, or disaster from becoming homeless. They all deserve our compassion and our assistance. Redding City Council December 5, 2023 Agenda Item 9.2(a) Provide Direction regarding HHIP funding The December 5 agenda item 9.2(a} HHIP funding - requests the city council to provide direction to staff. We are requesting that the City Council take the following action on December 5, 2023: Make a motion to approve the previously recommended six projects that were not approved for HHIP funding on November 7, 2023, and authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the agreements required to disperse the funds and ensure they are spent as planned. Please consider the following informatiion that supports this recommendation. l. The HHIP granting agency Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) developed the initiative and funding source to "enhance and expand Medi-Cal community-based services." Specifically the funding is intended to better connect homeless or at risk of homeless to medical services and supportive services that place them on the path to housing. 2. HHIP funding was provided to Partnership HealthPlan of CA (PHP) as a Managed Care Programs (MCP) to be distributed to each county PHP serves. 3. Partnership HealthPlan prioritized HHIP funding to be used for street medicine outreach and directed $100,000 be provided to local programs to see improved outcomes utilizing street medicine outreach. 4. The City of Redding original RFP incorporated the DHCS and PHP prioritizations. 5. The original eight proj ects recommended for HHIP funding approval on November '7, 2023, were designed by local agencies with knowledge of the current local needs who responded to the CoR RFP which was aligned with the DHCS HHIP criteria and Partnership HealthPlan prioritization of HHIP funding. 6. The six projects recommended for HHIP funding would provide street medicine outreach, emergency shelter for homeless including families and youth, transitional housing, including micro-shelters, provide for a sober living project and support for the interim day center at the Mission. �° ��� �� i����� � �c� i�� ���� � � sy��� � ��` � ���1 ���� �� . s� ��t��� s���r���� �c� ��s���� ��°� ��� ����s c�� �� ��s� ��'��� ����s ��� ��t�� �� ��� �� t�����t:��� ��c� � ��°����y � �I���°, ��c��-s �����s � c��� �� t����i�i� �1 ����a � �c� ����° �a���� � c��t�v�� c�u�i �� Speaking to the question about funding micro-shelters (focusing on Goodwater Crossing) — The City took a huge step in approving Goodwater Crossing.

Dear Redding City Councilmembers: Below is a request for you to foilow up on your previous interest and commitment to the homeless popultaion of Redding, and the peopie who have committed to trying to find a sololution. This project has been proven to work in other communties, and frankly, we need top work on this problem now, rather than later. The Goodwater project is more than a "church" project. it is a communtiy wide project, that has been thovghtfully and carefuily worked on by many peopie, with money already spent and so close to fruition. Please do not abandon these efforts. As a resident of Shasta County, I urge you to make a motion to approve the previousiy recommended six projects that were not approved for Housing and Homeless incentive Program (HHIP) funding on November 7, 2023. I aiso urge you to authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the agreements required to disperse the funds and ensure they are spent as planned.

Good Morning, I am writing to urge you to support housing for the homeless. I know some issues are coming up on tonight's agenda regarding funding for these projects. Every town in the U.S.that is successfully working on its homeless issues is realizing that"Housing First" is the answer. One only has to read all the articles that come out on this subject to understand that housing is the answer for the unsheltered. Look at the results in Kern County and Houston when they focus on housing. The latest report from the University of San Francisco supports this. Continue to support the micro-shelter programs. They are seeing good results. You have heard the progress the Mark St. program is having in a short time. The program at St.James Church will be soon up and going and they have worked hard to get to where they are. Our city/county needs to treat housing issues as an emergency. It wasn't that long ago that you declared a "housing emergency" ....remember? I will be at the meeting tonight and am very hopeful you will do everything you can to show our community that you intend to treat housing as an emergency, because it is.

Dear Redding City Council Members - When addressing item 9.2(a) tomorrow,regarding the Housing and Homelessness Incentive funding,please reconsider the hours of work and local expertise already put into proposals and reeommendations for the funding, as presented to the council 11-7-23. A second call for proposals and consideration at this time would be an overly bureaucratic, inef�cient approach to dispersing these funds. In addition, as I mentioned at the ll-7-23 meeting, the need for the funds for the current microshe]ter projects at Goodwater Crossing and South Market/St. Mark's is urgent. The micro shelter programs have been partially funded, as expected, and it would be expensive to change course now, losing those programs just as they are getting started. Finally, I couldn't help but notice that, at the 11-21-23 meeting, Good News Rescue Mission was given a great deal of funding, witb the question of why their micro shelters are not up and running left unanswered. Don't get me wrong, I am glad for the work the mission does, but I did note the discrepancy. Thank you for the work you do on behalf of our city, -Wendy Sanders
