Install a misting line over a south Redding community gathering spot

Redding is among the hottest cities in the nation and its south-side gathering spots — playgrounds, court edges, market corners — empty all summer because standing outside is genuinely unsafe. A simple hose-fed misting line rigged over a host-approved shade structure drops the felt temperature 15 degrees and gives the block its outdoor space back. Standard: CDC extreme-heat community cooling practice; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities. Proof: Before/after photos with the system running Method (CDC extreme-heat community cooling practice; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.): 1. Confirm the host site and water spigot access and photograph the structure as found. 2. Mount the misting line along the shade structure's edge at head-clear height, fixed every few feet. 3. Connect to the spigot with a timer and backflow-preventing fitting. 4. Run the system, check nozzle coverage, and adjust. 5. Show the host the season start/stop and winterizing steps. 6. Photograph the running system and record the site. Done when: Before/after photos with the system running

$200 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Before/after photos with the system running

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
