Show Notes

Get ready for a City Council Recap + Bonus Emergency Housing Site discussion in this week's update from the Redding City Council Meeting on May 17, 2022.

  • The Council approves the Goodwater Crossing Emergency Housing Site, which will consist of no more than 12 sleeping cabins for a one-year term at 2500 Shasta View Drive in Redding.
  • A Development Agreement for Lowden Lane Senior Apartments located at 2775 Lowden Lane in Redding will move forward.
  •  Good financial news from both Redding Electric Utility and the City of Redding General Fund.
  • Moving City Clerk and City Treasurer from elected positions to appointed positions may be headed for the November ballot. The council directed City Staff to draft the ballot measure for further review and discussion. 
  • Lastly,  ordinance amendments were passed allowing Solid Waste collection services to comply with Senate Bill 1383.  In effect since January 2022, SB 1383 requires that organic materials and edible food are diverted from landfills to reduce methane emissions Statewide. Cities must have enforceable ordinances in place to help facilitate local changes to comply with SB 1383 mandates.

Plus! Stick around after the update as we talk in more detail with Deputy City Manager Steve Bade about Emergency Housing Sites.  We'll ask questions about the Goodwater Crossing site approved by the City Council and what Emergency Housing is all about.

As always, we recommend you watch the video for full details and to hear all the presentations and discussions.
