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

Unhealthy air hits Redding with control burns

A control burn in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest sent smoke high into the air over greater Redding, polluting skies most of Thursday and creating unhealthy conditions for some. The U.S. Forest Service and other fire protection agencies on Thursday were trying to remove as much dry flammable vegetation as possible before strong, windy weather arrives on Friday, Nov. 13, the Shasta County Air Quality Management District. Some of the most extensive burning was happening in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest north of Redding. Sensors around Shasta Lake recorded as much as three times the amount of particulate matter — the kind of pollution dangerous to humans, pets and other animals — needed to put even healthy people at risk for respiratory trouble if exposed for long, according to Purple Air pollution data . The EPA’s AirNow tracked very unhealthy air from Happy Valley south of Redding to Sugarloaf, 30 miles north of Redding on Interstate 5. Pollution reached at least moderate to unhealthy levels from Cottonwood to the Oregon border, according to the EPA and Watch Duty fire app .

California has one ballot counting trouble spot. Its the one run by an election denier

Fingers are being pointed at Shasta County's clerk - registrar of voters for the slow and mismanaged ballot counting in the rural county. photo credit: US Bureau of Reclamation/Wikimedia Shasta Lake in Shasta County, CA. Photographed on 11 March, 2019. In the end, it wasn't shady bogeymen stuffing ballot boxes or federal agents who caused disruptions on election night in the rural Northern California Republican stronghold of Shasta County. It was the seeming incompetence of Clint Curtis, the county's election-denying elections chief who's soon to be unemployed. Journalists, including CalMatters' reporting partner Shasta Scout, have reported numerous problems with the vote count in Shasta County, a 2.5-hour drive north of Sacramento. They reported overflowing ballot boxes, staffing shortages, workers putting ballots in the wrong bins, computer hiccups and voters arriving at their polling places to find signs saying the location had been moved. Most counties dropped initial results right after 8 p.m. [when the polls closed on election night], but Shasta didn't report any until around 10 p.m. since elections officials hadn't set up their computer system properly, leaving it as the only county in the state that on Wednesday morning hadn't finished counting ballots from those who voted in

Redding eyeing more cuts to vacant city jobs to shore up budget

Redding leaders are weighing which of dozens of vacant city jobs they'll cut, if any, including six top positions and eight public safety positions. Each of the vacant jobs under scrutiny is partly or completely supported by the general fund, Interim City Manager Michael Webb said in a report about job vacancies to the Redding City Council on Nov. 3. The number of vacancies changes often as workers retire or resign, Webb said, but on Oct. 26 — the date his office compiled the report — Redding had 38 openings. The council opted on Nov. 3 to hold off on cutting vacant jobs until they hear fiscal updates in December — and after three newly elected or reelected councilpersons are seated. If the council then decides to freeze those jobs, those and other cuts made to vacant positions in October could save the city as much as $2.66 million in fiscal year 2027, said Webb. But just because a job is vacant doesn’t mean that position isn’t necessary, he said. Some of those jobs have “mission critical roles. They could be public safety. They could be tied to regulatory requirements or essential services or continuity.” And some departments' staff are
