Show Notes

What was covered during Tuesday night’s Redding City Council Meeting?  If you were wondering about downtown parking and new wildfire regulations, you're in luck! Here’s a quick recap on the wide range of topics that were covered, presented by Steve and Katie from the City of Redding Communications Team.  

Here are just a few items covered in the April 5, 2022, Redding City Council Meeting.

• The Assistant City Manager and City of Redding Fire Marshall asked the Council to consider implementing vegetation management regulations and other wildfire mitigation measures in the City of Redding. The Council directed staff to meet with residents and interested parties for input on what vegetation management practices and additional wildfire mitigations the community should follow citywide.  After receiving community input, staff will bring a proposal package to the Redding Planning Commission before it comes back before City Council for further discussion. 

• Public Works presented the Parking Operational Needs Assessment report completed by Dixon Resources Unlimited. The report analyzed the City's options for managing downtown parking operations including a cost assessment. The council accepted the Parking report and asked staff to bring back a plan for a user-paid parking system and parking enforcement for more discussion.

• Redding Electric Utility received approval to add 6 new engineering positions to ensure the City has the engineering skills needed to design, implement and maintain both the electrical grid and the Redding Power Plant both now and in the future.
