Maintenance District O1-25, Salt Creek 4).
Recommendation
Conduct a Public Hearing and, upon conclusion, if the majority of the voting property owners are

(1) Confirming results of the election of the assessment district;
(2) Confirming the assessments contained in the Engineer's Report for said district;
(3) Ordering the formation of territory into SSMD 01-25 for Fiscal Year 2026-27; and

Act of 1911, Streets and Highways Code, Chapter 26, Maintenance Districts, Section
5820, et. seg. and levying and collecting the same for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
Fiscal Impact
Generally, sanitary sewer maintenance districts are self-supporting and there are no fiscal
impacts to the City of Redding's (City) General Fund.
AZteNnative Action
The City Council (Council) may choos� not to adopt the Resolution ordering the formation of
SSMD 01-25, and provide alternative direetion to staf� This will require identifieation of an
alternative funding source to provide the required maintenance so as not to become a General
Fund obligation. If a majority protest is found at the Public Hearing, the Council cannot approve
the formation of the district.
Background/Analysis
On Ju1y 15, 2025, the Council approved the Engineer's Report, directed staff to mail the Notice
of Public Hearing and Official Ballots, and set a public hearing regarding the formation of
Sanitary Sewer Maintenance District (SSMD) 01-25 Salt Creek 4.
Report to Redding City Council August27,2025
Re: 6.1--Public Hearing re:SSMD 01-25 Salt Creek 4 Formation Page 2
SSMD O1-25 is being formed to comply with the conditions of approval �or the Sa1t Creek Unit 4
Subdivision (AMND-2017-00160 / 5-15-07 / PD-11-0�) located off Lower Springs Road north
of Highway 299. A conventional gravity sewer system is impracticable for this subdivision;
therefore, Condition of Approval No. 65 requires the developer to create an SSMD to fund the
operation and maintenance costs of a sanitary sewer lift station with the formation, levy, and
collection of assessments being pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911. Smalllift stations that
serve only a specific development are not commonly used in the public system; therefore, a
SSMD will ensure that the maintenance responsibilities are borne by the parcels to be created by
the Salt Creek Unit 4 Subdivision and not by other utility custoiners.
The proposed formation of SSMD 01-25 will affect a total of 70 residential units, on which
assessments will be levied. The total assessment for Fiscal Year 2026-2� is:
$23,317.00 = $333.10 per residential unit(benefit unit)
It is important to note that approval includes the allowance of an annual cost escalation to the
assessment which is tied to the "20 Cities Construction Cost Index" from the most recent March
issue of the Enginee�ing News Record. This annual cost escalation is intended to assure
continued maintenance funding as inflation occurs and will be presented each year to the Council
with the annual assessment and levy update for the SSMD.
It should also be noted that the amount per unit is the maximum assessment and based on
completion of the entire subdivision. The levy will be adjusted year to year as development
occurs.
The Improvement Act of 1911 requires an election of the property owners and requires that the
Council hold a public hearing regarding the formation of new Sanitary Sewer Maintenance
District. Proposition 218 also requires a public notice period of 45 days prior to the Council's
action. On July 18, 2025, a notification of the proposed annual assessment and public hearing
was mailed to each property owner in the proposed district along with a ballot for the formation
of the district. Ballots are due prior to the end of the public hearing for this item. Following is an.
explanation of the procedure for this item:
l. Open the public hearing, accept comments and ballots from property owners, and close
the public hearing, at which time property owners may no longer submit ballots.
2. Following the close of the public hearing, ballots are tabulated by the City Clerk who
ret�urns to the Council later in the meeting to report the election results.
If a majority protest is not determined, the Council can elect to adopt the Resolution that orders
the formation of SSMD 01-25.
The Resolution has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.
