Supervisor says rent hike delayed 90 days for mobile home residents

As Shasta County works to address concerns from mobile home residents about rising rents, Supervisor Allen Long delivered some good news to those residents at Tuesday’s board meeting. In a surprise announcement during his Nov. 10 board report, the District 2 supervisor said Harmony Communities, which owns and manages two parks in Shasta County, has agreed to delay a $300 monthly rent increase that would have taken effect Dec. 1. Long said Harmony agreed to postpone the rent increase until March 1. The agreement came after recent talks Long had with Harmony. Residents in the Bixby Knolls Mobile Home Park in Anderson and Riverland Mobile Home Ranch in Redding — where the rent increase was about to take effect — have been attending supervisors’ meetings in recent months asking the county to adopt a rent control ordinance. “This give us a little more time to slow this down and have proper negotiations, so that was a very exciting development that we worked out with them (Harmony),” Long told the Record Searchlight after the Nov. 10 meeting. At the supervisors' Oct. 27 meeting, Long was given direction by the board to talk with Harmony Communities and mobile home residents to see

Mexican street food eatery opens in Redding with loaded Takis, elote

Redding couple Anarea Ramos and Gabriel Resendiz started off thinking they'd sell lemonade — the fresh-squeezed kind their children adored — from a small pop-up that would travel to events or temporarily set up at food truck parks, an idea honed from watching online videos of other businesses that had followed that path. Then the idea "just grew," said Ramos. In March, Ramos and Resendiz opened La Casita de Limon in Redding. The tiny drive-thru and walk-up only eatery with a small seating area out front offers fresh-squeezed lemonade and much more. Mexican street food snacks, sweet desserts and fresh-squeezed juices are among the eatery's specialties, including fresh lemonade studded with mango chunks and fresh strawberries. Other choices include shaved ice; scoops of mango or bubblegum-flavored ice cream; and fresas con crema, fresh-cut fruit in a cup that's topped with sweetened, homemade whipped cream and sprinkles. "We always make the snacks at home and then it got to the point where we want to share snacks with everybody," said Resendiz. The small establishment located in between a dry cleaners and car wash on a busy stretch of Churn Creek Road is getting a lot of attention since it opened on

Pacific storm brings high wind, heavy rain to Redding

Redding's first winter storm of the season arrived on Friday with strong, gusty winds of up to 45 mph, bringing as much as 3 inches of heavy rain to the city — and a light coat of snow to mountain towns in the Shasta Cascade region. The Pacific storm with a stream of subtropical moisture could be powerful enough to knock out power in parts of Shasta County and make road travel hazardous, according to the National Weather Service, which issued a wind advisory in effect until 7 p.m. on Nov. 13. The storm arrived from the Gulf of Alaska and moved over the Eastern Pacific on Nov. 12, said meteorologist Idamis Shoemaker at the weather service's Sacramento branch. South wind started blowing through the Sacramento Valley toward Redding around 4 a.m. on Friday, the weather service said, bringing those strong gusts powerful enough to break delicate tree limbs, stress power lines, upturn outdoor furniture and make maneuvering difficult for drivers.

Redding pushes ahead with police chief search

Facing a multi-million dollar deficit, Redding has halted efforts to fill many municipal jobs and is considering cutting some public safety-related positions as city officials explore strategies to bolster the budget. But a search for a new police chief is continuing, said Interim City Manager Michael Webb. A few days before the job posting for Redding police chief initially closed on July 5 , city officials said nationwide recruitment had drawn "a pretty good pool of applicants so far." But a second recruitment for police chief was activated, that one closing on Sept. 27. Asked why the second recruitment was necessary, Webb responded via email that the city was not providing additional details regarding the recruitment process beyond a short, general statement sent to the Record Searchlight. "We have received strong interest in the position and have made significant progress in the recruitment process," said Webb's Nov. 11 statement, which added that he was pleased with the progress made so far. "The City will share additional information, including the announcement of our next Chief of Police, once the remaining steps in the appointment process are completed.” The recruitment process includes applicant finalists going before a panel made up of people
