Shasta County has notified the City of Redding that its lease covering two Eastside Road properties will terminate Oct. 16, 2026, changing the location and timeline for the county’s planned Community Reentry Center.\n\nThe county lease-termination notice, dated Sept. 15, says the lease covers 7251 Eastside Road in Redding and 7051 Eastside Road in Anderson. The notice cites Section 2.2 of the lease and was signed by Chris Kelstrom, chair of the Shasta County Board of Supervisors.\n\nA related staff report to the Board of Supervisors says the Community Reentry Center will not proceed at the leased site because of environmental constraints. The report says the board had directed staff to return with a termination letter and recommends that supervisors consider an ad hoc committee to evaluate alternative locations.\n\nThe report proposes a committee of three to five county staff members to evaluate potential sites, while the Board of Supervisors would retain authority over site selection. It cites procurement-ethics guidance as a reason to separate site evaluation from the final site-selection decision.\n\nThe records reviewed do not identify the specific environmental constraints, a replacement site or the board’s final action on the proposed committee. They also do not provide the lease’s financial terms or any termination costs.
