SUBJECT: 4.6(a)--Ratification of Boating Access Program Grant Application for Sport Fish
Restoration Grant Pro am
Recommendation
Approve and ratify the City of Redding Community Services Department's submittal of a
Boating Access Program grant application in an amount not-to-exceed $500,000 to provide
funding assistance for boat ramp and fishing facility operations and maintenance at multiple river
access locations.
Fiscal Impact
The Boating Access Program grant, part of the Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program, requires a
match of 25 percent, which will be met through in-kind services. The Parks Division staff will
leverage existing positions to obtain grant funding for three additional positions. There is no
additional impact to the General Fund.
Alterna�ive Action
Due to timing constraints, an application was submitted in order to meet the approaching
deadline. The City Council (Council) could decline to ratify the submission of the grant
application which would result in a missed opportunity to fund maintenance costs associated
with multiple river access locations.
Background/Analysis
Since 2023, the Community Services Department has obtained grant funding totaling $8'79,448
through the Boating Access Program, part of the Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program. These
grants were awarded in partnership with the Redding office of the California Department of Fish
and Wildlife, acknowledging the importance of these facilities to the sport fishing community,
and r�cognizing the state's prior investment in their development, as well as the ongoing burden
of maintenance costs.
Report to Redding City Council November 10,2025
Re: 4.6(a)--Authorize GrantApplication for Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program Page 2
The primary goal of applying for these funds is to support the operation and maintenance of six
facilities that are operated and/or owned by the City of Redding along the Sacramento River:
• Lake Redding Boat Ramp;
� John Reginato River Access;
• Turtle Bay Boat Ramp;
• Nur Pon Open Space and River Access;
• Turtle Bay East Open Space and River Access; and
• Kum Bay Xerel Open Space and River Access.
Grant funds are used to cover staff costs for a wide range of maintenance activities. Work
includes three to five visits per week to each site to maintain public restrooms, parking lots,
landscaping, and walkways/trails. Staff also perform additional tasks such as opening and closing
facilities, managing vegetation, controlling invasive species, and conducting facility inspections.
If awarded, the grant request for the Boating Access Program will continue the current services
by funding up to 75 percent of the ongoing maintenance and operations costs that the City would
otherwise incur if facility maintenance levels were upheld. The application deadline for this grant
was November 7, 2025.
Environmental Review
These are routine maintenance items, and are not considered a project as defined under the
California Environmental Quality Act. No further action is required.
