A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING
SUPPORTING, IN CONCEPT, THE DONATION OF CITY PROPERTY
TO THE SHASTA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW COURTHOUSE.
WHEREAS, the Superior Court of California, County of Shasta, is desirous of constructing a new
Courthouse to replace its existing facility in Redding; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Redding understands and supports the need for a
modern, efficient, and adequately-sized Courthouse to serve the community; and
WHEREAS, approximately four acres of City-owned property exists immediately east of the
Redding Library and bounded by Parkview Avenue on the south and Grape Avenue on the west,
commonly known as the "fast-pitch softball field," that would be suitable in size for the construction of
a new Courthouse; and
WHEREAS, a new Courthouse would be consistent with the City Council's philosophy of
developing a "civic center campus" on City property adjacent to City Hall.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Redding
that:
I. The City Council supports, in concept, the donation of the property bounded by Parkview
Avenue on the south and Grape A venue on the west, commonly known as the "fast-pitch
softball field," to the Superior Court for construction of a new Courthouse.
2. Any donation of said City-owned property for purposes of constructing a new Courthouse
would be contingent upon financial assistance by the Superior Court to fully pay for the
relocation of the fast-pitch softball field.
3. The City of Redding's offer to donate said City-owned property will terminate in one year
unless extended by the City Council.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was introduced, read, and adopted at a regular
