Report to Redding City Council November25,2025 Re: 4.1(b)--Update for the Emergency work due to Flooding Page 2 Alter�native Actzon The City Council (Council) may choose not to accept the attached resolution and provide alternate direction to staff. Background/Analysis Due to storm events in in early 2025, a local emergency was proclaimed on February 11, 2025, and on February 18, 2025, the Council ratified this proclamation and authorized the negotiation of emergency contracts. The storm events caused significant damage to both the South Bonnyview Boat Launch access road and the Parkview Sewer Siphon. The South Bonnyview Boat Launch access road had been compromised and was closed due to the failed culvert. Staff constructed a temporary public access road for the boat launch to serve the public during construction. Approximately 200 feet of the overall 700-foot-long, 10-foot diameter culvert had failed and other pipe sections had been compromised. As of October 31, 2025, J.F. Shea has completed all the work involved with the replacement of the failed culvert which included but is not limited to the placement of the new fiberglass reinforced pipe, concrete headwall structure,rip-rap stabilization rock and all surface restorations. The Parkview Sewer Siphon Repair Project located within the Linden Creek Channel was also affected by the rain events and flood waters resulting in a landslide that exposed the existing sewer siphon just west of Parkview Avenue. As of October 31, 2025, MS Excavation (MS) has completed all of the instream work, the slope protection portions of the contract including the surface restorations and hydroseeding for permanent erosion control for all of the disturbed areas. MS was directed to leave their temporary project fencing in place until the permanent erosion control becomes more established. It is anticipated that the temporary fencing will be removed by the end of November 2025. Pursuant to Public Contract Code, staff recommends that the Council partially terminate the emergency by adoption of the resolution as both the South Bonnyview Boat Launch access road and Parkview Sewer Siphon repairs are complete. California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) funding has been authorized for Shasta County due to the 2025 February Storms (CDAA 2025-07). The reimbursement process and exact dollar amounts will be forthcoming from Cal OES. On September 17, 2025, City staff submitted all necessary documents to Cal OES to receive funding and is now waiting on a response from Cal OES. Envir�onmental Review This action, is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and no further action is required. On June 3, 2025, Council determined that the South Bonnyview Storm Drain Project and the Parkview Sewer Siphon Repair Project are exempt from review under CEQA, pursuant to Section 15269(b)—Emergency Projects.

CURTIS, City Attorney GI �" Y C� F � � �- ' � ° � � i � CITY OF REDDING �� REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: February 18, 2025 FROM: Barry Tippin, City Manager ITEM NO. 9.1(b) ***APPROVED BY*** btippin@cityofredding.org ry ippin,Ci an •e ?l12/2025 btippin@cityofredding.org SUBJECT: 9.1(b)--Consider Resolution to confirm and ratify the City of Redding Proclamation declaring a local emergenc due to flooding. Recommendation Adopt Resolution by a four-fifths vote to confirm and ratify the Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services declaring a local emergency and authorizing the City Manager to repair or replace public facilities and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes without solicitation of competitive bids in accordance with Public Contract Code 20168 and 22050. 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. Alterna�ive Action The City Council (Council) could choose not to adopt the resol�ution or provide alternate direction. Failure to adopt the resolution will result in a 1ega1 �nding 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 February 2, 2025, a storm event arrived in the City of Redding, ultimately causing conditions to be 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 which in turn have caused a significant increase in releases from Shasta Dam resulting in localized flooding, water rescues, and damage to roadways, trail systems, storm water systems, and other infrastructure. At this time, continued high-water flows are expected with not all areas having Pack�t Pg. 2�4 ' Report to Redding City Council February 12,2025 Re: 9.1(b)--Adopt Resolution to Confirm and Ratify the Proclamation Declaring a Local Emergency Page 2 been fu11y assessed. The current forecast calls for continued storms and additional snow and rainfall which could further exacerbate the damage and increase the difficulty of recovery efforts. As the rain continues, the Bureau of Reclamation will be required to continue its high releases from Shasta Dam. There is potential for additional local flooding and infrastructure damage. Due to these events and weather conditions, a local emergency was proclaimed on February 11, 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 his capacity as Director of Emergency Services under RMC 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 seg.). The resolution contains a11 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. However, the resolution also seeks authorization 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. These sections provide authority which the Government Code, addressed above, does not. Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050 collectively provide authority to repair ar 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 health and safety by restoration of public services and facilities. This is necessary due to the immediate need to repair or replace the 120-inch culvert that failed at the entrance to the Reginato Boat Ramp. This ramp serves as a critical entry point for river access for public safety agencies to effectuate river rescues and to access areas along the river that are otherwise inaccessible. Additionally, river guides and other river related businesses utilize this ramp extensively and prolonged closure will cause significant economic hardship as well as impeding life saving e�forts by the Redding Police Department and the Shasta County Sheriff. It should be noted that RMC 4.22.120 delegates authority to the City Manager to make a finding that the emergency wi11 not permit the delay resulting from a competitive solicitation of bids and that immediate action is necessary to respond to the emergency. However, that authority is only valid for a period of sev�n days. By making this finding now by means of adoption of the resolution, the Council avoids the unfortunate circumstance whereby the immediate action sought by the City Manager to repair or replace public infrastructure will lapse absent an P�cket Pg.2�s Report to Redding City Council February 12,2025 Re: 9.1(b)--Adopt Resolution to Confirm and Ratify the Proclamation Declaring a Local Emergency Page 3 immediate, emergency Council meeting. 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. In summary, the resolution serves two important functions. It facilitates coordination with other public agencies assisting the City in responding to the 1oca1 emergency and is a necessary precondition to receipt of state and federal aid. It also provides authority to the City to use its own resources in accomplishing repair or replacement of damaged public infrastructure in a timely and efficient manner while ensuring Council oversight of all such activity. Environmental Review This is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.
