CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO COMMUNITY SERVICES ADVISORY COMMISSION

Recommendation

Accept the attached Recreation Activity Report for February 2021.

Cross Country:

Our first sports program back from the pandemic shutdown will be cross country. Designed as a

“COVID Safe” entry into sports, this three-race series will be held at a different park each week.

We are expecting to have several hundred participants in grades K-8th. The races will be held

from March 25th through April 1st.

Little League:

We are working with local leagues to schedule and improve park fields as the season will get

underway on April 10th. Shasta County’s move into the red tier makes it possible to host games.

Since not all school campuses will be open for leagues to play on, City fields will see extra use.

The parks crew is hard at work getting the parks ready for increased usage.

Pickleball:

The new pickleball courts are almost complete! The courts' permanent nets will allow players to

drop in to play without bringing their own nets. We expect much more play on the new courts

because of this, and the old courts will still be available. Another nice feature of the new courts is

the fencing between each court. These fences should keep most balls within the court of play and

limit stray balls when multiple games are being played.

Grasshopper Sports

Redding Recreation held Grasshopper baseball on Saturday mornings during February at the

Grasshopper Sports Zone located on the west side of City Hall. Classes were full for children

ages 3-5 and their parents to learn basic baseball skills in a fun environment. With the CDC

guidance of no indoor sports in the purple tier due to COVID, we could not hold Grasshopper

indoor basketball or indoor soccer.

Camps

Farm Camp - Redding Recreation will partner with Shasta County Farm Bureau, UC

Cooperative Extension, Shasta College, and Shasta Union High School District for the eighth

summer of Farm Camp. We are working with the Shasta Union High School District and Shasta

College to use their farm facilities. We have received funding from Tri Counties Bank, Lassen

Canyon Nursery, Kent’s Meats and Groceries, and Vestra Resources, Inc., which helps keep the

cost to participate low.

Presidents’ Week Winter Adventures - Shasta County schools were closed 2/15-2/19 for

Presidents’ holiday week, so, Redding Recreation held a week-long camp to keep the children

busy. We had 21 children Monday through Friday from 7:30 am-5:30 pm at the Caldwell

Recreation Center. They participated in a variety of fun winter activities, from arts and crafts to

games.

Field trip bussing - Redding Recreation is working with the Shasta County Office of Education

to provide bussing for five different camps this summer. Last summer, due to COVID, we could

only take field trips in July and only to outside locations. With schools back in session, the

County is more comfortable transporting our participants. Our goal is to go on a variety of trips

each week, but that will depend on what color tier Shasta County is in during the summer and

which business can accommodate our group.

Summer Part-time staff

Redding Recreation’s summer job announcements were posted on the City of Redding website in

late January. Applications for our summer positions have been coming in. Due to the low

number of applications received, we are reaching out to the high school and college career

counselors to help us get the word out about our summer positions. We are looking for camps

staff and aquatic center staff.

Panorama Park Public Engagement

Staff conducted its last public engagement meeting for the Panorama Park Project. The meeting

was held to show the community the concept-level site plan that was the culmination of all five

previous meetings. Eighteen participants joined in, and the response to the project was

overwhelmingly positive. The final application is being prepared and will be submitted on March

12th, requesting $8.5 million for developing a new park on Lake Blvd.

Summer Planning

We are currently recruiting and interviewing for summer jobs at the Redding Aquatic Center. We

are planning for summer as if it will be a typical year and will modify the schedule as needed as

the Shasta County status changes regarding COVID-19 restrictions.

CPRS Community Award for Excellence - Community Champion Award

We are pleased to announce that the California Parks and Recreation Society have awarded Mike

Strahle, founder of the Redding Yacht Club and Lead instructor for our Youth Sailing Program,

the Community Champion Award. Mike has been tireless in his mission to teach youth to sail at

Whiskeytown Lake. To date, Mike has trained over 800 children to sail. We are grateful for his

commitment and happy to see his work recognized statewide.

Spring Adventures February Camp Feedback

“My son had so much fun and the staff is amazing. I feel great leaving him to go to work,

knowing he will be well taken care of and safe. I am so grateful that these camps are offered.

They are so appreciated for single parents that have to work, such as myself. My boys LOVE

coming to camp, and I think you do a great job. They love the social interaction and the games

and crafts and movie days on Fridays. I'm so grateful for these camps because I have to work,

and they get really bored being at home all day and being cooped up alone when it’s raining. I'm

so glad they can go to these camps rather than being on their tablets all day while I'm working.

My son loves it, and it is affordable.”

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO COMMUNITY SERVICES ADVISORY COMMISSION

Recommendation

Staff recommends the Commission receive this report as information.

Background

The City of Redding has two funds which collect park-related impact fees on new residential and

commercial development. The Park In-Lieu Fund receives fees in-lieu of land dedications at the

time when residential subdivision maps are approved. These fees are collected to offset the costs

related to the acquisition of new parkland sufficient to meet the increased demand from new

residents, and it allows for capacity improvements. The Park Development Fund collects impact

fees on residential and commercial (including office and industrial) building permits to mitigate

the impacts to the existing park system and offset the costs of developing new and/or improving

existing parkland. These fees are incurred when the building permits are pulled, but they are not

collected until the certificates of occupancy are issued. Thus, there is at least a four-to-six month

lag between when the building permits are pulled and the fees are paid.

As of October 1, 2020, the Park In-Lieu and Park Development funds maintained a combined

positive cash balance of $3,376,524.17. When updated with planned expenditures and revenue

inflows anticipated in the remaining months of Fiscal Year 2020-21, it is projected the two Park

Funds will finish the year with a combined positive cash balance of $1,968,663.85.

While there is no net impact to the balance of the two funds combined, there remains an

outstanding balance of $1,218,042.89 owed to the Park In-Lieu fund by the Park Development

Fund from an original $2.13 million advance. The only other financial obligation outstanding for

the two Park Funds is the remaining debt service on Enterprise Park. Including interest, the sum

remaining on this obligation is $138,631.06. Staff anticipates an annual payment of

approximately $50,000 through Fiscal Year 2022-23.

Building Permits and Park Fund Balance Growth Projections

The Community Services Department maintains a 5-Year Plan to track and forecast the near-

term health of our two Park Funds. The assumptions in the Plan are revised in response to

changing market conditions and emerging trends. The attached 5-year plan illustrates the current

balance of the Park Funds including actual and projected expenditures as well as revenues with

projections based on historical data.

Revenue generation in Fiscal Year 2020-21 is trending significantly ahead of last fiscal year due

to a lump sum payment of $1.4 million from the developers of Salt Creek Heights subdivision to

fund the first phase of park construction.

Fees for a significant number of multi-family projects were collected year-to-date, including fees

for the development of Market Center in downtown Redding. The development is a mixed-use

space with 82 affordable housing units, retail space and restaurants. Staff anticipates additional

multi-family projects from planned improvements in the downtown area in upcoming years.

The Building Division reports single-family dwelling unit (SFDU) permit applications have

significantly slowed, although revenue collection increased year-to-date. The Division reports a

net reduction of 187 permits for FY 2020-21 YTD (74 dwelling units) versus FY 2019-20 (259

dwelling units). A portion of this decrease is attributable to the Carr Fire re-build permits which

were not subject to park fees. Additionally, the City Council approved a new park fee schedule

with higher fees that became effective in April of 2019 which prompted some developers to rush

submittal of applications ahead of the fee increase. The SFDU year-to-date revenue has

increased by 92 percent over FY 2019-20. The average fee rate increased from $4,548 to $5,056.

At the same Council meeting, impact fees were established for new commercial, office, and

industrial development. To date, commercial fees have been collected for eight new buildings.

The revenue received is currently less than $25,000 since the fee adoption, however many

permits are outstanding and fees will be collected concurrent with the issuance of the certificates

of occupancy. Due to limited experience, we have not included revenue projections for

commercial projects in the 5-year plan, but will make adjustments next year when we have more

data to rely upon.

The Park In-Lieu Fund

Much of the Park Development Fund revenues in coming years will be directed toward loan

repayments to the Park In-Lieu Fund, which between 2012-15, advanced approximately $2.1

million in inter-fund transfers to cover debt service costs. The current balance due to be repaid is

approximately $1.22 million.

Park In-Lieu Fund proceeds may be spent on appropriate Park Development costs, but with one

further restriction: they must be expended within the city quadrant where they were originally

collected. The quadrant division lines are Interstate Highway 5 dividing east from west, and the

Sacramento River / Highway 44 dividing north from south.

In the FY2019-20 mid-year budget request, Community Services appropriated funds totaling

$450,000 from three quadrants park improvement projects, including the Enterprise Park

Pickleball Court, modular buildings for park host housing at Enterprise Park and the South

Bonnyview Boat Ramp, and for a modular building for indoor Recreation programs at Caldwell

Park. The Pickleball Courts are opening soon and the Park Host modular projects are in progress.

The modular building planned for Caldwell Park is currently on hold.

Report to Community Services Advisory Commission March 5, 2021 Re: 6. Review of the Park Fund Balances and Cash Flow Page 3

The in-lieu quadrant balances are detailed in the table below. The Transfer Out and Transfer In

amounts detail advances to and repayments from, respectively, to the Park Development Fund.

The Available Cash Balance details the funds available in each quadrant, not accounting for the

encumbered funds or the allocation of funds for outstanding projects, including those mentioned

above.

Currently, Park In-Lieu balances are positive in all four quadrants and they should improve in the

coming years as the Park Development Fund repays the advances from the Park In-Lieu Fund

and restores these quadrant accounts to their actual balance.

Conclusion

With recent strong performance in the local residential construction market, the updated fee

schedule, and recently approved newly expanded park fees on commercial construction, the

outlook of the two Park Funds is strong allowing for future large projects. Although economic

uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic has not yet had a measurable effect on new

construction, our projections remain conservative.

NOTES1. SF and MF fee calculation assumes annual Construction Cost Index increase of 2.00 percent on the average Park Development Fee. No estimate has been made on

Park In-Lieu Fees. Any Park In-Lieu collections will decrease the number of Park Development building permit fees required to reach targets.2. Projected building permits based on recent performance and assumes conservative 1.00 percent annual growth. 3. Estimated distribution of residential building permits between fee credit (developer agreement) and fee normal (paid to City) based ratio of 50:50.4. The City has fee credit agreements with the following developments: Bel Air, Salt Creek Heights, Shastina Ranch and Westridge. Two of these

developments are in active buildout and two are pending. The total number of permits anticipated yet to come from these developmentsat full buildout is 871 single family dwelling units and 160 multi-family dwelling units.

5. No assumption have been made on Commercial, Office, or Industrial building construction. Staff will continue to monitor in the upcoming year.
