In this episode, we’re recapping highlights from the Redding City Council meeting held on April 15, 2025.
Mayor Jack Munns kicked things off by proclaiming April 2025 as Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month in the City of Redding.
On the Consent Calendar, Council recognized Community Tree Planting Day (aka Arbor Day) on April 25 and celebrated the Parks Division for earning the Tree City USA award. Council also approved:
- A 20-year lease agreement with the California State Lands Commission for the Lake Redding and Diestelhorst Bridge crossings,
- And a resolution declaring April 20–26 as Volunteer Appreciation Week, honoring over 32,000 hours of volunteer service in 2024—an estimated economic value of more than $1 million!
Council also appointed two new members to the Redding Planning Commission—Blake Nance and Erin Ryan—following a thoughtful discussion on representation and diversity of perspectives.
Redding Fire Chief Jerrod Vanlandingham gave a brief update on the new Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps from the State of California. These maps are now part of the City ordinance and are available for public viewing and comment at reddingfire.org.
And finally, Councilmember Tenessa Audette raised a discussion about options to retain 12 RPD positions amid budget constraints. That conversation will continue at the May 6 City Council meeting.
