Re: 2023 - 2024 Housing Services Agreement Annual Report Dear Jason:

Attached please find the annual summary report of services provided under the Housing Services Agreement for the contract period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

To date during the contract period, the Housing Authority has provided regulatory agreement monitoring on for-sale and rental affordable housing units. The Housing Authority provided rental assistance to 138 very-low income American Canyon households funded through our Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. Twelve percent of all vouchers issued are being used in the city of American Canyon. Sixteen of the 138 households received rental assistance from the Family Unification Program and six households received rental assistance from Non-Elderly Disabled Program. Seven households participate in the Family Self Sufficiency Program to receive services, education, and job training to help them to become more fully employed and independent.

In addition, the Housing staff provided outreach and marketing for the City’s HOME Program homeowner rehabilitation program. They received and processed applications, determined program eligibility, performed housing inspections, work write-ups, project management, and prepared loan documents. Four homeowner rehabilitation projects have been completed this fiscal year. Eight applications have been approved in this reporting period with five projects currently in the bid process. It is anticipated that all projects will be completed, and all grant funds fully expended by the grant expiration date.

Housing staff maintained accurate financial accounting records for the CDBG, HOME, BEGIN, and CalHome Program grants and submitted reports to the City's Finance staff. 9 All required quarterly and annual reporting was submitted to HCD on behalf of the City in accordance with the requirements of each grant program.

In the area of affordable housing, Housing staff has provided support in reviewing potential affordable housing regulatory agreement and marketing plans for Lemos Pointe and Napa Cove. Additionally, Housing staff processed subordination/refinance requests from below market rate homeowners who refinanced their first mortgage loans.

STAFF REPORT

CONSENT
ITEM NUMBER: 10.

TITLE
Design Permit Municipal Code Update

RECOMMENDATION
Waive final reading, read by ,tle only, and adopt an Ordinance amending American Canyon Municipal Code Chapter 19.41 “Design Permits” consistent with State Law and Housing Element Implementation Program C.

CONTACT
Brent Cooper, AICP, Community Development Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
On May 21, 2024, the City Council approved the first reading of an Ordinance approving Municipal C o d e Chapter 19.41 “Design Permits” consistent with State Law and Housing Element Implementation Program C.

The municipal code update addresses an issue iden,fied in the Housing Element where it was pointed out that certain Design Permit review criteria could be interpreted to authorize subjec,vity in project review process. Subjec,vity could lead to decisions that make housing more costly and/or have its basis in discriminatory behavior.

The Design Permit changes will eliminate subjec,ve criteria and focus on documen,ng decisions that fulfill adopted code and policies. In addi,on, the municipal code update removes duplica,on with the Minor and Major Modification process in Chapter 19.45.

If the final reading is approved, the Ordinance will become effec,ve 30 days later on July 5, 2024. A copy of the Ordinance is included as Attachment 1.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."

FISCAL IMPACT
The City is required to Municipal Code updates to reduce constraints to housing produc,on. 36 Comple,on of these municipal code amendments will enable the City to remain consistent with State Housing Laws which are increasingly ,ed to infrastructure and housing-related grant programs.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Housing Element Municipal Code Updates are exempt from environmental review under CEQA because the amendments are consistent with State law that preempt any inconsistent local ordinance. Thus, the City’s ac,on is not crea,ng a new land use regula,on and it can be seen with certainty that no environmental impacts will result from the City’s ac,on. Consequently, the ac,on is exempt in accordance with CEQA Sec,on 21084(a) and both Sec,on 15002(i)(1) – lack of Local Jurisdic,onal Discre,on – and Sec,on 15061(b)(3) – General Rule of Exemp,on – of the CEQA Guidelines.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The American Canyon Municipal Code requires that the City’s Municipal Elec(ons be held on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November of even-numbered years.

Not applicable.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of a consolidated elec(on is split between the number of en((es on the ballot, number of posi(ons, and number of ballot measures. The proposed FY2024-25 Budget is an(cipated to include $80,000 for the City’s November 2024 Municipal Elec(on based on an es(mate provided by the Napa County Elections Division.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

TITLE
Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2024-25

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution establishing the Appropriations Limit of $24,403,653 for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

CONTACT
Juan Gomez, Finance Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
State law requires local agencies to set an appropria2on limit each fiscal year. Only certain annual budget appropria2ons from proceeds of taxes, as defined by the law and accepted statewide guidelines, are subject to the limit. The appropria2ons limit is revised annually, usually upward, by a formula that uses a combina2on of percent changes in Statewide Per Capita Income (PCI) or Nonresidential assessed valuation, if available, and City or County Population.

In November 1979, the people of California added Ar2cle XIIIB to the State Cons2tu2on, which placed limita2ons on the appropria2ons of State and local governments. The Ar2cle was implemented by State Legisla2on that defined the process to calculate the appropria2ons limit and required that ci2es adopt a resolu2on se?ng an annual appropria2ons limit. The base year was set as fiscal year 1978-1979 and the first appropria2ons limit was applied to qualifying public agencies budgets for fiscal year 1980-1981.

In June 1990, the people approved Proposi2on 111, which, among other things, amended Ar2cle XIII-B. The amendment made significant changes to how the limit was calculated, what appropria2ons were subject to the limit, and added City Council resolu2on and independent audit requirements. One of the significant changes was to allow the City to make two choices when computing the appropriations limit:
• Infla2on factor - choose between per capita income or increase in non-residen2al assessed valuation due to new construction
• Population factor – choose between City population growth and County population growth. 54 There are no penal2es under Ar2cle XIIIB for failure to adopt a limit. Compliance with the law is intended to be locally enforced by ci2zens. The State Government Code limits challenges in civil court to the appropriations limit calculation to a 45-day period after adoption.

If the por2on of the City Budget that is subject to the appropria2ons limit exceeds the limit, the City can carry over the excess amount one year. If, aFer the second year, the City s2ll exceeds the limit, the voters can approve a temporary override or the City would need to refund the excess amount to the people by lowering taxes or fees.

Updated Appropriations Limit
The change in the appropria2ons limit is calculated annually by staff from the informa2on provided by the State Department of Finance each May. Consistent formulas are used to ensure an accurate calculation.

Proceeds of Taxes and Appropriations Subject to Limit
AFer the annual appropria2ons limit is calculated, the appropria2ons that are subject to the limit are determined. The appropria2ons limit only applies to appropria2ons that are funded from proceeds of taxes. Proceeds of taxes are fairly well defined in the statewide guidelines; however, the method to determine which appropriations are from proceeds of taxes can be complicated.

FY 2024-25 Appropriation Limit
The Fiscal Year 2024-25 appropria2ons limit was calculated using the Statewide Per Capita Personal Income increase of 3.62% and the City popula2on increase of 1.77%. When applying these factors, the prior year limit increased by 5.45%.

City Limit
The appropria2ons limit increased $1,261,260 to $24,403,653 (Resolu2on in ALachment 1).

Appropria2ons that are subject to the limit are $21,532,074 so the City is under the appropria2on limit by $2,871,579. The detail computa2ons are presented in the Appropria2ons Spending Limit Worksheet (Attachment 2).

Public Notice
As required by State Law, detailed worksheets suppor2ng the appropria2on limit calcula2ons have been available for review by the public in the City Clerk’s Office. Also, as required, a public notice has been published for this meeting to adopt the appropriations resolution.

TITLE
Fiscal Year 2024-25 Recommended Budget for Adoption

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu+on to approve the Final Recommended Budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25 and authorize the City Manager to increase the appropriations for FY 2024-25 expenditures in an amount not to exceed the amount encumbered for expenses that did not occur prior to the end of FY 2023- 24 but are expected to be expended in FY 2024-25 consistent with the original purpose.

CONTACT
Juan Gomez - Finance Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 Budget process kicked off in February. Finance Department staff has developed the Final Recommended Budget in collabora+on with other City departments, the Assistant City Manager and the City Manager. The "Proposed Budget" was presented to the Finance Subcommi;ee on May 9, 2024, and the City Council on May 21, 2024. This "Final Recommended Budget" is being brought forth for adop+on, incorpora+ng final es+mates and updated informa+on.

Changes from Proposed Budget
Significant revisions since the proposed budget that was presented on May 21, 2024, includes a decrease in Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) expense in the amount of $226,271, resul+ng from a new actuarial valua+on report that was recently completed. The General Fund por+on is a decrease in OPEB expenses of $146,498. General Fund revenues were also adjusted downward by $53,700, primarily property tax revenues. The net was re-appropriated across various departments, including the addi+on of fourth seasonal worker in the General Fund, staff training in the finance department and an appropriation for new building security equipment citywide.

All Funds
The FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget for All Funds is approximately $128.5M. This amount represents an increase of approximately $900,000 (or less than 1%) from the FY 2023-24 Adopted Mid-Year Budget.

General Fund
60 The FY 2024-25 General Fund (GF) Proposed Budget is "balanced", with no projected deficit or surplus.

General Fund appropria+ons are approximately $31.6M. This amount represents a decrease of $2.8M (or 8.0%) from the FY 2023-24 Adopted Midyear GF Budget. Of note, last year's budget includes one-+me fund balance transfers in the amount of $5.0M to establish new "renova+on and replacement funds". (These funds will be used to replace/replace aging infrastructure in the future).

To create a more useful comparison to the FY 2023-24 Midyear Adopted Budget, those one-+me transfers are subtracted from the analysis. Then, the FY 2024-25 Proposed GF Budget represents an increase of approximately $2.3M (or 7.7%).

Overall budget categories at their aggregate levels are shown in A;achment 2 - Summary of Proposed Revenues and Expenses. Es+mated revenues and expenses (by fund) and projected ending fund balances are shown in Attachment 3.

General Fund Revenue
The FY 2024-25 Proposed GF Revenues total approximately $31.6M. Of that amount, property taxes are expected to increase 4.4% (to $14.7M). This increase reflects con+nued development ac+vity and the sale of new homes in 2023. There is lag between a home sale and realiza+on of new property tax. For example, home sales in 2023 are placed on the "January 2024 Property Tax Roll", and then become property tax revenue in FY 2024-25.

Sales tax revenues are es+mated to decrease by $550k to $3.9M. This reduc+on reflects the expected closure of a top sales tax producer in February 2025. Other sales tax generated from exis+ng taxpayers are expected to remain flat, however new businesses opening later this year will add to these revenues.

Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) revenues are projected to increase by $309k to $2.1M. This increase reflects the opening of a new hotel (Home to Suites) in Fall 2024. TOT revenues from the exis+ng three proper+es are projected to remain flat. Addi+onal hotels (Hampton Inn and Watson Ranch Hotel) are expected to increase TOT revenues in outlying fiscal years.

Other taxes, such Franchise Fees ($1.2M), will con+nue to increase as American Canyon grows.

Most of these estimates are based on consultant analysis of economic performance.

Transfers-in for support services are projected to increase by $1.1M to $3.5M. This increase reflects updated methodology for alloca+ng certain costs not previously recovered from the Enterprise Funds. For example, the cost of the City Manager's office, City Clerk or Communica+ons were not previously included in the calculation for reimbursement from the Enterprise Funds. 61 The remainder of the opera+onal revenues are budgeted conserva+vely but con+nue to grow moderately. Most of these es+mates are based on consultant analysis of economic performance and will be reassessed as more information becomes available.

General Fund Expenditures
The FY 2024-25 Proposed GF Expenditures total approximately $31.6M. Of that amount, personnel expenditures - including cost-of-living-adjustments for employees, step increases and reclassifica+ons for eligible employees, costs for employee re+rement benefits, and Other PostEmployment Benefits - are proposed to increase by $1M (or 11.2%) to $10.4M.

Of note, investment returns of the CalPERS pension system and CERBT trust fell short of expecta+ons, resul+ng in increased re+rement and OPEB costs in FY2024-25. As men+oned above a new valua+on report was received from the City's consultant in late May and is incorporated in the final budget. The new valua+on report includes updated employee and re+ree census informa+on, assump+on changes and value of assets in the City's OPEB trust, which resulted in lower OPEB expenses across various funds.

The Proposed Budget includes the addi+on of (1) Management Analyst and (1) Capital Projects Coordinator in the Public Works Department. These new posi+ons were iden+fied in a recent organiza+onal study and are vital to the delivery of projects in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). An organiza+onal chart and descrip+on of the proposed Public Works Department structure will be provided as part of the Final Budget.

The Proposed Budget also includes filling three (3) currently vacant full-+me Maintenance Worker posi+ons and the addi+on of seven (7) seasonal Maintenance Workers. Of the seasonal workers, four (4) are allocated to the General Fund and the other are allocated to the Enterprise Funds.

Regardless of whether these employees work in an office or in the field, these new "boots on the ground" will aide in the delivery of new projects and services to the community.

Non-personnel expenditures include a $0.9M increase to the Sheriff Contract for Police Services, totaling $9.4M. The increase reflects costs salaries, benefits and insurance, but does not include any increased staffing.

Contribu+ons to the Internal Service Fund (ISF) for Fleet and Informa+on Technology (IT) are proposed to increase 7.4%, resul+ng from con+nued replacement of the City's vehicle fleet with leased vehicles. The majority of the City's fleet is now under three years old and under the Enterprise lease program.

Increases to the IT ISF are a;ributed to technological upgrades (financial system upgrade, new permitting software) and increases to the contract with the third-party IT provider. 62 Fund Balance
GF Fund Balance is proposed to be $10.5M. Fund Balance will be comprised of $1.6M in restricted funds, $1.0M in undesignated reserve, with $7.9M reserved for con+ngency. The GF Con+ngency Reserve represents 25% of the proposed FY24-25 expenditures and will remain fully funded under the proposed budget.

Capital Improvement Program
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is primarily funded from restricted sources (such as Gas Tax, etc.), as well as Enterprise Funds, where appropriate.

Proposed CIP expenses total $35.2M. Notable expenses include $13.2M for Green Island Rd Reconstruc+on/U+lity Undergrounding Project and $6.2M for Rancho Del Mar Paving and U+lity Improvements.

The CIP includes prior appropria+ons of $4.7M American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding that will also be combined with other sources to provide previously approved improvements. The Proposed Budget includes alloca+ng the remainder of the $0.2M ARPA funds to the Corpora+on Yard Relocation Project.

Water Fund
The FY 2024-25 Water Fund Proposed Budget is balanced, with no projected deficit or surplus.

Water Fund revenues are projected to be $16.3M, with opera+ons revenues projected to increase by $0.5M to $10.5M as a result of anticipated increases to service rates in January 2025.

Water Fund expenditures are projected to be $16.2M. Water Opera+on expenses are projected to increase $0.1M to $14.7M primarily due to a major membrane replacement project at the treatment plant offset by decreased costs for water purchases. The recently completed rate study provides for upfront cash funding for the $1.2M membrane filters instead of financing.

Capacity fee revenues are projected at $4.7M. Of note, many of the revenues projected in the Midyear 2023-24 Budget are not yet received and are now projected to be collected in FY2024-25.

These revenues are collected from development projects and funds will be u+lized as the water system is expanded.

Wastewater Fund
The FY 2024-25 Wastewater Fund Proposed Budget is projected to have a deficit of $3.0M.

Wastewater Fund revenues are projected to increase by $0.2M to $11.3M, with operations revenues projected to increase $0.1M to $5.3M.
63 Wastewater Fund expenditures are projected to be $14.3M. Wastewater opera+ons expenses are projected to increase by $1.9M to $9.4M, primarily to fund capital projects, as the contribu+on to the CIP is $2.5M.

Also, as intended in the recently completed rate study, rates were not increased as much as needed in anticipation of drawing down reserves to the minimum target.

Capacity Fee revenues are projected at $2.5M, expenses are projected at $0.6M and include a $0.5M transfer to the CIP for a pump station replacement.

Recycled Water Fund
This newly created fund is now reported as a separate enterprise in our financial statements.

Recycled Water is a key aspect of our water supply system – and as such – it was appropriate to create a separate enterprise fund separate from the Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds. The proposed fund revenue totals $0.3M and proposed expenditures total $1.2M.

FY 2023-24 was the first year that employees will be par+ally allocated to this fund which is reflected in the opera+onal costs for the fund. A rate study was recently completed, increasing the rates for recycled water to fund opera+onal costs, and as more customers join the system, more revenue will be available to help this enterprise become self-sufficient.

Internal Services Funds
The City has historically maintained four (4) internal service funds (ISF) to support city services:

Building Maintenance, Fleet, Informa+on Technology, and Legal Services. The FY 2023-24 Budget created four (4) new "Renova+on and Replacement Funds", as well as a new Pension Stabiliza+on Fund, bringing the total internal service funds to nine (9).

The goal of any ISF is to breakeven over +me. Fund balances are allowable if there is a plan to use those resources to fulfill the objec+ve of the fund, such as informa+on technology replacement, fleet replacements or other asset replacements such as playground equipment, streets, or civic facilities.

Total ISF revenues are projected to increase $0.5M to $4.4M. Total ISF expenditures are projected to increase by $0.2M to $5.0M.

Fund Balance in the Fleet ISF has been built to pay for the ouMiNng of three (3) police interceptor vehicles. Fund Balance in the Parks Renova+on and Repair ISF is to be drawn down for the Veteran's Park Playground replacement. (Of note, renova+ons of other playgrounds are included in the LLAD budget, and was approved by Council on May 21, 2024)
Debt Service
The City maintains total debt of $10.9M as of June 30, 2023. This amount represents 8% of the City's 64 All Funds amount. Annual debt service payments total $1.0M in FY 2024-25 across a number of funding sources, excluding non-financed long-term liabili+es such as compensated absences, claims and judgments, net pension liability, and other post-employment benefits.

Looking Towards the Future
Projected growth in American Canyon will increase our property tax base, which accounts for over half of the City’s discre+onary income. New residen+al, industrial and commercial development will also likely increase sales tax revenues to help pay for City services as more residents shop and dine in town and more businesses open up. There are also three (3) proposed new hotels, with one currently under construc+on, that would supplement TOT revenues and a new fast casual restaurant, which is expected to open in Summer 2024.

The City has fully recovered from the pandemic lows and with new developments underway the city has a mix of healthy future revenue growth projec+ons. Our projec+ons for Fiscal Year 2024-25 con+nue to evolve with con+nued infla+onary pressures in mind, we have begun to see minimal to no growth in many sales tax categories and a slowdown in exis+ng home sales as inventory con+nues to be limited. New homes con+nue to sell and add to the City's property tax base, although persistently high interest rates have tempered demand somewhat as American Canyon continues to be a desirable place to live and remains the most affordable area in the County.

Staff has also developed a 5-Year forecast providing analysis on projected revenues, employee benefits, pension costs and non-personnel expense trends (attachment 4).

TITLE
Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (Fiscal Years 2024/25 - 2028/29)

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu/on adop/ng the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2024/25 - 2028/29.

CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
Juan Gomez, Finance Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a five-year planning tool that iden/fies an/cipated capital improvements and their funding sources. The CIP does not appropriate funds, but rather func/ons as a forecas/ng tool which supports appropria/ons made through the annual budget adoption process.

The a:achments to this report summarize a five-year funding strategy for capital improvements.

The expenditures forecast for the first year of the CIP are consistent with the proposed Fiscal Year 2024/25 Capital Budget. The subsequent forecasts are subject to change due to more detailed engineering analysis becoming available, City Council direc/on on project priori/es, updates to revenues including grant opportuni/es, and changes in project costs. The Five-Year CIP will be updated annually.

CIP programs and projects are dedicated to maintaining and improving City infrastructure in several divisions: Civic, Parks, Recycled Water, Transportation, Wastewater, and Water. The following table summarizes the project funding by fund for the Five-Year CIP:

On May 23, 2024, the Planning Commission found the Fiscal Year 2024/25 CIP consistent with the General Plan.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."

FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2024/25 CIP consists of 34 projects totaling approximately $35.2 million. The fiscal impact of the CIP by fund is iden/fied in the FY 2024/25 Budget approved earlier tonight. The 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan can be found here: Capital Improvement Program FY2024/25 - FY2028/29

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Approval of a 5-Year CIP and Capital Fund Budgets do not qualify as “Project(s)” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act. Therefore, the Recommended Ac/ons are exempt from environmental review. However, each of the projects listed in the 5-Year CIP will be subject to environmental review (when applicable to changes to the physical environment) at the earliest opportunity.

The City of American Canyon partners with Fair Housing of Napa Valley (FHNV) for housing related services. Fair Housing Napa Valley (“FHNV”) is a private 501 (c)(3) non-profit corpora/on dedicated to promo/ng and developing fairness and equal housing opportunity for all people. FHNV works to eliminate housing discrimina/on and ensure equal housing opportunity through leadership, educa/on, outreach, training, advocacy, and enforcement. For several years, the City has successfully partnered with FHNV to provide these services to American Canyon residents and property owners. Pablo Zatarain, FHNV Execu/ve Director will provide a summary of fair housing ac/vi/es in American Canyon for Fiscal Year 2023/24. The annual report is included as A?achment

City of American Canyon Narrative Report- FY 2023-24
Dear American Canyon City Council and Staff,
Fair Housing Napa Valley (FHNV) is grateful to submit the enclosed report, reflecting cases opened and resolved within the City of American Canyon during FY 2023-2024. The cases selected reflect the diversity and complexity of the various intakes that the agency receives and illustrate FHNV’s ability to resolve various housing issues to the benefit of the client, as well as educate landlords and tenants of their rights and responsibilities. In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, the diversity and dynamics of cases have changed. Specifically, the pitfalls and risks around housing insecurity are more precarious now due to a shortage of rental/ alternate housing stock, increasing housing costs, and a collectively increased susceptibility to housing insecurity due to lingering challenges borne out of the pandemic, particularly among vulnerable populations. For this reason, FHNV prioritizes addressing/ preserving housing security when assisting all clients. Not all cases have the desired outcome that the agency seeks, sometimes due to a landlord’s unwillingness to mediate or resolve the conflict, or due to a client’s nonresponsiveness or lack of forthrightness.

American Canyon Demographics
From July 2023 to present, Fair Housing Napa Valley served 54 American Canyon households, totaling 157 individuals (61 of which were children). 59 individuals (38%) of those assisted were White, 58 (37%) were Latinx, 32 (20%) African American, and 8 (5%) were Asian/ API. 31 of the 54 households assisted had Extremely Low income- less than 30% of the Average Median Income (AMI); 10 had Very Low income (< 50% AMI); six had Low income (< 80% AMI); and three households assisted had Moderate income. Four cases had unreported income, partially accounted for by the two landlordinitiated cases with which FHNV assisted; landlord income is not requested during the intake process. 31 of the 54 cases opened in American Canyon regarded Landlord/Tenant inquiries, while 23 were Fair Housing (discriminatory) allegations.
112

OFFICE: 707-224-9720 FAX: 707-224-1566; CA RELAY 800-735-2922 www.napafairhousing.org
Landlord/Tenant cases can be initiated by a tenant or a landlord and consist of rental housing questions or complaints pertaining to their legal rights and responsibilities regarding any number of issues, including notices to vacate, lease questions, and repair/ maintenance requests. In these cases, discrimination is not alleged at the time of intake. Fair Housing cases can also have Landlord/Tenant components but involve a specific allegation of housing discrimination based on a state or federally protected class (i.e. Race, Disability, Familial Status, etc.). While FHNV educates and assists all clients with their housing concerns/ inquiries, the agency’s primary mission is to identify and eliminate discriminatory housing practices in Napa County. Because housing discrimination is often subtle, careful consideration is required of all cases, so that any illegal housing practices may be identified and addressed.

American Canyon Landlord/ Tenant Cases
Landlord/Tenant: Lease Issues
“Lease Issues” refer to a variety of general housing concerns/ inquiries that do not otherwise apply to more specific case descriptions, such as a notice to vacate, eviction, or repair/ maintenance request. This description is deliberately broad to capture all general/ miscellaneous housing inquiries. 2023-24073- A senior mobile home park resident called Fair Housing Napa Valley for assistance with a dispute with her park’s manager regarding maintenance of a tree on her park space. As mobile home park residents own their homes but typically rent the space on which it sits, these types of disputes occur relatively frequently. FHNV relies on both Mobile Home Residency Law (MRL) and the resident’s lease for guidance when addressing these kinds of disputes. In this case, the client’s lease stated that space tree maintenance was the resident’s responsibility; when the lease does not clearly determine responsibility regarding a specific dispute/ question, MRL’s are relied upon for guidance. The client was counseled and referred to appropriate local programs that could provide financial assistance for the tree maintenance, which cost nearly $1,000.

This case was especially notable as the resident lived on a fixed income and the cost of maintaining the tree nearly equaled her monthly rent amount and created a significant financial strain on this client. This dynamic is unfortunately common in American Canyon and Napa County, as many householdsespecially mobile home park residents- are one financial crisis away from housing insecurity and possible displacement. For seniors on a fixed income, increases in their cost of living can have a particularly adverse impact on their housing security.

Mobile Home Residency Law is enforced by the California Dept. of Housing and Community Development, and not traditional landlord-tenant laws/ ordinances. However, fair housing protections apply in all mobile home related matters, and MRL’s also rely on the utilization of tenancy related notices to initiate specific actions, particularly by the housing provider. 113

OFFICE: 707-224-9720 FAX: 707-224-1566; CA RELAY 800-735-2922 www.napafairhousing.org
2024-24321- A property owner contacted FHNV seeking guidance as a first-time housing provider. The client sought assistance regarding how to properly (and legally) advertise their unit, tenancy/ lease questions, and considering potential tenants. FHNV counseled the client regarding fair housing protections, illegal/ discriminatory housing practices, state and federal protected classes, relevant lease topics, and recent changes to tenant protections. This included materials, information, and resources regarding a variety of housing topics, both landlord-tenant and fair housing related. Over the course of nearly three months, FHNV worked with this client until she felt her questions had been answered and immediate concerns had been addressed.

Being a housing provider is a significant responsibility, one which can require extensive research/ diligence to remain legally compliant. FHNV is proud to assist Napa’s housing providers, which is one of the programs/ services that sets the agency apart from similar Fair Housing organizations. Working with this group has resulted in FHNV’s building a positive rapport and relationships, particularly with some of the county’s larger housing providers. Such relationships can be beneficial when seeking housing provider cooperation, and/ or attempting to address more complex matters. FHNV is grateful for the opportunity to work with and educate Napa’s housing providers, and to be able to serve both sides of Napa’s rental housing market.

Landlord/Tenant: Maintenance and Repairs
These cases frequently involve tenants with repair requests and needs that aren’t being met after multiple verbal requests. From mold, pests, or a multitude of other issues, FHNV educates and empowers both tenants and landlords regarding the process of the written requests, record keeping or creating a “paper trail,” taking photos, and sometimes involving Code Enforcement agencies if necessary. Because of the lack of vacant rental housing stock in Napa County, illegal housing units are a continuing concern, as are unreported repair requests; vulnerable clients sometimes will not report a repair need out of fear of possible eviction or rent increase in response. There are laws to protect both the landlord and the tenant in this context, and FHNV works to ensure housing remains safe and compliant with local ordinances.
2023-23568- A senior resident contacted FHNV after finding a severe case of mold in the apartment she shared with her son, and wanted to confirm her housing provider was complying with their responsibilities regarding the matter. During the intake process, the client was found to have already taken constructive steps to document the mold and begin addressing the matter with her housing provider. Indeed, the client reported that her housing provider had already inspected the unit, and had verbally approved their transfer to a comparable unit. The client wanted to confirm that their housing provider was complying with all related responsibilities. FHNV counseled the client regarding adequate documentation of the mold/ damage for insurance and (if necessary) legal reasons, should her housing provider renege on the offer to transfer her unit. Through continued correspondence with both parties, 114
1303 JEFFERSON ST, SUITE 200A NAPA CA 94559
OFFICE: 707-224-9720 FAX: 707-224-1566; CA RELAY 800-735-2922 www.napafairhousing.org
FHNV ensured that the tenant’s transfer was completed successfully. FHNV staff also worked with the housing provider to ensure they understood/ complied with their obligations regarding this matter.

Landlord/Tenant: Notice to Vacate
When Fair Housing Napa Valley receives an inquiry regarding a notice to vacate, there are a variety of questions the agency must take into consideration. Tenants can have several concerns, and FHNV staff review all documents and correspondence between the tenant and landlord- including the lease and the notice to vacate- to determine possible discrimination as the basis for the notice. Napa County does not have rent control laws and while there are limited just cause protections under California’s Tenant Protection Act (TPA; among other protections, a landlord or property manager is required to provide a valid “cause” to issue a notice to vacate), options can be limited once a tenant receives a notice. Given the lack of housing options in Napa County currently, FHNV prioritizes preserving clients’ housing where possible/ appropriate. As a precursor to the legal eviction process, FHNV also encourages tenants to contact the agency as soon as possible upon receiving a notice to vacate to ensure sufficient time to investigate and address the matter. When a client contacts the agency with little time left to vacate, his/ her options are often even more limited.
2023-23651- A tenant household contacted FHNV after receiving a 60-day notice to vacate their home.

The clients sought additional time to vacate, as they had been unable to find alternate housing. In reviewing their notice, FHNV staff found it to be invalid due to non-compliance with conditions set forth by the Tenant Protection Act (TPA; AB 1482). The TPA, since strengthened by SB 567, provides tenant protections through rent increase caps, just cause thresholds regarding notices to vacate, and relocation assistance in certain cases of displacement. Among those protections, notices to vacate must list valid reason(s) [just cause] for a tenant household’s need to vacate, among other terms. In this case, the housing provider did not serve an adequate notice listing all needed terms, rendering the notice invalid and requiring that they start the notice process over. The housing provider was counseled regarding their obligations under the TPA, and the invalid notice was rescinded. Though the client household ultimately received a valid notice to vacate (and moved out), FHNV assistance allowed the clients to avoid potential legal action and provided sufficient time to secure alternate housing. 2024-24092- A disabled resident, and mother of two children, contacted FHNV after receiving a verbal notice to vacate. The client was extremely concerned, stating she could not afford the costs of moving, nor felt she could maintain a job due to her disabilities. After conducting her intake, FHNV counseled the client regarding the legal requirements of a valid notice to vacate. Notably, all tenancy-related notices must be in writing (among other requirements, per TPA), rendering the verbal notice she received as invalid and unenforceable. The client was relieved and asked that FHNV not contact her housing provider, as she and her partner hoped to resolve the matter directly with them. The client was encouraged to contact FHNV for additional assistance if she received a written notice to vacate, though fortunately she has not contacted FHNV since then.

OFFICE: 707-224-9720 FAX: 707-224-1566; CA RELAY 800-735-2922 www.napafairhousing.org
Educating all clients regarding their rights and responsibilities in any given context is at the core of FHNV’s counseling approach. The tenant/ landlord relationship is dependent on both parties upholding their part of the lease and housing laws/ ordinances; educating clients to this effect helps prevent future disputes and potential illegal practices, preventing potential risks to housing security for American Canyon and Napa County residents.

Landlord/Tenant: Eviction
Eviction cases vary in type and can be a result of non-payment of rent, or non-compliance with a previously received notice to the tenant, such as a 3-day notice to pay or quit or a 30 day notice to vacate. Tenants must receive an Unlawful Detainer (UD) order- the lawsuit filed in court by the housing provider- to start the eviction process. As a legal order, UD’s and evictions are reflected on a tenant’s background report, adversely affecting their ability to secure future housing for years in a similar manner to a negative credit history (perhaps more so because an eviction indicates a failure to pay rent, and/ or non-compliance with a lease notice).

Due to the extremely competitive rental housing market in Napa County and the Bay Area generally, as well as the overall lack of supply to meet current demand, clients with an eviction in their background are at a substantial disadvantage in securing alternate housing. As mentioned above, FHNV prioritizes preserving a client’s current housing when appropriate, especially in cases where they are at risk for a UD/ eviction. While FHNV strives for a successful outcome whenever a client is at risk of displacement, when their tenancy is not salvageable the agency ensures that client/ household has access to the appropriate partners and resources to address their legal needs. FHNV works closely with staff of the Napa County Superior Court’s Self Help Desk, and legal services partners, to ensure referred clients receive the appropriate assistance in filing responses and complying with their order. 2024-25378- A single mother of two children contacted FHNV seeking assistance with finding housing.

The client stated she lost her home after losing her job recently, and that her family was currently living in a hotel. She expressed extreme concern that she would be unable to afford her hotel room in the near future. FHNV referred the client to the appropriate community and local government partner organizations to address her housing and family needs. The client received resources to better support her children/ household in the near term, and also received housing navigation related services to assist her in finding alternate housing.

Housing-related assistance does not always come in the form of counseling. Education and outreach to all Napa County residents is an essential component of FHNV’s services and a desired outcome for every case resolution. This includes informing clients about the broad range of resources available to both tenants and housing providers. Though FHNV does not provide assistance with finding new/ alternate housing, FHNV is grateful to be a part of a robust and diverse referral network in American Canyon and Napa County, including a variety of local government and community partners who provide 116
1303 JEFFERSON ST, SUITE 200A NAPA CA 94559
OFFICE: 707-224-9720 FAX: 707-224-1566; CA RELAY 800-735-2922 www.napafairhousing.org
vital services that our clients rely on. These networks collectively form a diverse and comprehensive safety net for all Napa County and American Canyon residents that is vital to their housing security and household health/ well-being.

Landlord/Tenant: Security Deposit Return
Security-deposit related complaints are one of the most common issues seen by Fair Housing Napa Valley. These cases are generally addressed in the same manner, with the exception being a discriminatory allegation by the client during the process of recouping their security deposit. Given case similarities, FHNV will list general advice given to clients in lieu of specific case anecdotes:

Tenants should document their pre-move in inspection with photos and a checklist of noted deficiencies where possible, making the move-out inspection more reliable. It is the landlord’s responsibility to initiate the move-out walk-through at least two weeks before the move-out date in order to give the tenant time to fix anything noted during the inspection. (If the landlord doesn’t initiate the walk-through as is their responsibility, the tenant should insist on one). The tenant should also take pictures and utilize a detailed move-in checklist (when possible) to verify any prior damage while conducting the move-out inspection. Taking pictures at both move-in and move-out inspections, as well as documenting any other related damage or concerns through dated checklists, is vital.

California law allows the landlord twenty-one days to provide an itemized list of deductions made from the security deposit and must be accompanied by receipts and/or estimates made by professionals. If this has not been provided within twenty-one days, the tenant is entitled to their entire security deposit, which is addressed via the Small Claims process. FHNV provides tenants with a Demand for Deposit form when appropriate, and an instruction sheet explaining the process of submitting the Demand for Deposit form. If the tenant receives no/ an unfavorable response, the client is referred to the Self-Help Desk at the Napa County Courthouse to proceed with their complaint.

American Canyon Fair Housing Cases
Fair Housing and Protected Classes
Fair Housing Napa Valley is dedicated to promoting and developing fairness and equality of housing opportunities for all people. While FHNV offers tenant/landlord services to all of Napa County, the agency’s primary mission is to investigate and eliminate housing discrimination in Napa County.

Landlord/ tenant cases provide the agency the opportunity to investigate additional complaints where housing discrimination may be present. Fair Housing Napa Valley strives to ensure equal housing opportunity through leadership, education, facilitation, outreach, training, advocacy, and enforcement. 117
1303 JEFFERSON ST, SUITE 200A NAPA CA 94559
OFFICE: 707-224-9720 FAX: 707-224-1566; CA RELAY 800-735-2922 www.napafairhousing.org
Both State and Federal laws prohibit discrimination in the rental or sale of residential housing on any of the following basis: National Origin, Ancestry, Race, Color, Religion, Age, Disability, Medical Condition, Marital Status, Sex, Sexual Orientation, Source of Income, Arbitrary Reasons, or Familial Status (the presence of children under 18); these are known as “protected classes.” A fair housing allegation occurs anytime a resident contacts Fair Housing Napa Valley and claims they feel discriminated against based on a protected class. A fair housing case can concurrently be a landlord/tenant case; however, the fair housing component of a case always takes precedence as the agency’s primary mission is to eradicate discriminatory practices.

Some examples of discriminatory practices are: falsely stating that housing is unavailable (or otherwise making housing unavailable); having different terms, conditions, rules, or service because of membership in a protected class; “steering” a buyer or renter to a different neighborhood or portion of a complex (children in a ground floor unit); making discriminatory statements during the course of business; and threatening, coercing, intimidating, or interfering with anyone who is exercising their fair housing rights. These are only a few examples, and discriminatory practices have manifested themselves in evolving ways with changes to housing policy/ ordinance, as well as regional market dynamics.

FHNV opened 23 fair housing-related cases in American Canyon during the current FY 2023-24 reporting period. Three are pending investigation, 11 cases were closed with a referral, and two cases were closed due to no response from the client. This is an unfortunate reality for some of FHNV’s cases, as tenants fear retaliation from their landlords, or- in the case of the substantial Latinx population in Napa County- may also face immigration-related retaliation/ consequences as a result of pursuing a housing complaint. Additionally, seven cases were closed as mediated, meaning the resolution was to the benefit of the client. This is the most ideal resolution; FHNV conciliated the matter to the satisfaction of all parties involved, minimizing the risk of further dispute and violation of our client’s housing rights.

Reasonable Accommodations & Reasonable Modifications
Under federal fair housing law, persons with disabilities are entitled to additional protections to increase the accessibility of their unit, or to accommodate their disability as it relates to existing housing/ lease policies. FHNV may submit a Reasonable Accommodation (RA) or a Reasonable Modification (RM) request on the client’s behalf for a variety of disability-related reasons. RA or RM requests cannot pose an undue financial or administrative burden to the housing provider and may be amended or revised through ongoing dialogue with the housing provider regarding the request/ specific tenant need.

A Reasonable Accommodation (RA) is generally defined as a request to make an exception or revision to an existing housing policy or condition to better accommodate the individual. A physician’s recommendation is typically required to support the request. For example, Service Animal exemptions 118
1303 JEFFERSON ST, SUITE 200A NAPA CA 94559
OFFICE: 707-224-9720 FAX: 707-224-1566; CA RELAY 800-735-2922 www.napafairhousing.org
may be requested in housing with “no pet” policies; similarly, a tenant may ask to have an assigned parking spot moved closer to their unit for ease of access.

A Reasonable Modification (RM) is a physical change to a disabled tenant’s home to improve accessibility, such as bathroom grab bars or a wheelchair ramp. Like the RA process, a request is made to the resident’s housing provider regarding the needed modification. Once approved, the modification requested is the tenant’s financial responsibility, unless the tenant resides in a federally subsidized property (landlord’s obligation in those cases). Although modifications sometimes involve a substantial financial investment, there are a number of agencies and other resources that can assist low-income residents with costs and installation. Unless otherwise allowed by the housing provider, modifications must be removed by the tenant prior to moving out.

Disability: Reasonable Modification
2024-24243- This case involved a disabled senior resident with mobility related challenges. She lived on a low, fixed income and sought funding for accessibility modifications to her bathroom. Among the modifications, she requested an accessible shower stall (low threshold), grab bars, and a widened doorway to the bathroom. Through its participation/ membership in regional and national housing coalitions, FHNV has access to this type of funding through various partners, and secured a $10,000 grant from the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) to cover the resident’s modification costs. The modifications were completed and the client now has a fully accessible bathroom.

In Closing
The rental housing market in Napa County is extremely limited and presents a litany of obstacles to equal housing choice for many households. The vacancy rate for rental housing stock is between 1- 2%, and the high demand gives a significant advantage to housing providers and the most qualified applicants for available housing. This particularly affects Napa County’s low income and vulnerable populations, including Latinx households, families with children, seniors, and disabled individuals.

Though additional tenant protections have been implemented in recent years, particularly the Tenant Protection Act, these protections are not enough to bridge many of the existing inequities that prevent equal access to rental housing.

FHNV’s mission to eradicate housing discrimination in Napa County begins with ensuring equal housing choice for the region’s most vulnerable populations. The agency has an obligation to those residents, and all residents in Napa County, to maximize exposure and awareness of its services by engaging the general public and community partners through increased workshops and presentations. To this end, FHNV will focus additional educational efforts in South Napa County for the next year. This will include additional outreach to the Spanish and Tagalog speaking communities of American Canyon to identify households in need of assistance.

By increasing awareness of the services FHNV provides and how staff can specifically assist clients, residents will be better prepared to recognize discriminatory housing practices or other illegal action(s) by their housing provider/ tenant. These presentations will also provide attendees with a better understanding of possible actions- and preparations- an individual can take to assist FHNV staff in corroborating their complaints and resolving them to the client’s benefit. Through increased awareness, engagement and collaborative efforts with the agency’s community partners and the public, FHNV will continue to further its mission and expand its footprint within American Canyon and the diverse communities our agency serves.

Please contact me should you have any questions regarding this report. Thank you for your continued support of Fair Housing Napa Valley, and the services the agency provides. Our staff looks forward to assisting the residents of American Canyon and Napa County for years to come.
