The Basics
Traffic Control ❖Yield at Entry
Traffic Deflection ❖Pavement markings and raised islands direct traffic into a one-way
counterclockwise flow
Geometrics ❖The radius of the circular road and the
angles of entry are designed to slow the
speed of vehicles
19 26
Why They Work
1. Cars entering a roundabout must
yield to those already in the circle.
2. With all cars traveling in the same
direction, roundabouts eliminate
head on collisions, as well as left
turns, one of the most dangerous
moves in an intersection.
3. With no traffic lights to divert drivers’
attention upward, roundabouts keep
motorists focused on the cars and
pedestrians around them.

40 Pedestrian Safety
34 41
35 The Basics
42 Benefits
36 Roundabout Traffic Signals
Vehicle and Driver Safety Eliminates high-speed crashes and reduces fatalities and injuries by 70+%
Numerous vehicle and pedestrian conflict points on
standard intersection (32 vehicle/24 pedestrian)
Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Shorter one-directional crossings provide greater pedestrian focus and awareness
Vehicles are more focused on signal changes than on
pedestrian movements
Space/Development Footprint Reduces additional right-of-way between links of intersections
May require additional turn lanes in future if traffic
volumes or traffic patterns change
Cost and Sustainability Less expensive than a signal for greenfield construction (new location)
Increase in fuel consumption and emissions due to
stopped and delayed vehicles during red lights
Traffic Capacity Creates equal priority for all approaches Typically prioritizes mainline traffic allowing progression of high volumes approaches
Access Management Provides equal priority of driveway/business access Requires drivers to make additional left turns or right turns to access certain properties/businesses
Aesthetics Provides attractive entries and gateways to
communities
Various lighting and signing distractions can impact the overall aesthetic appeal for the user
Maintenance Pavement markings, lighting, and some landscape maintenance may be more intensive than signals
Requires staff time required to maintain signals, provide retiming, and conduct repair

TITLE
Watson Ranch at the Square Memorandum of Understanding/Letter - Temporary Uses
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Minute Order approving a "City Le0er of Understanding & Agreement" to allow temporary amphitheater uses in the Napa Valley Ruins and Gardens.
CONTACT
William D. Ross, City Attorney
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Watson Ranch is a mixed-use development of residen7al units surrounding an envisioned new town center.
In March 2023, a Watson Ranch developer (AC1, LLC) applied for approval of two (2) amphitheaters; a 3,300-person venue around Quarry Lake and an 800-person venue located in the "Fig Tree" area within the Napa Valley Ruins and Gardens (NVRG). In May 2023, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for both amphitheaters (Resolution 2023-08).
Since May 2023, the developer has been evalua7ng various aspects of the amphitheater project and on December 20, 2024 they submitted preliminary grading/drainage plans for NVRG.
On January 9, 2025, the developer no7fied the City of a promoter's interest in hos7ng a series of concerts star7ng in Summer 2025 and las7ng through 2027 (and possibly beyond). The events would occur in a por7on of the Ruins commonly known as the “Square.” (The Square is the loca7on where mul7ple events have been held over recent years including the annual American Canyon Community and Parks Foundation annual fundraiser “Night at the Ruins”.) The Square is in a different, but nearby loca7on than either of the approved amphitheater loca7ons. The developer es7mates the capacity of the Square to be approximately 2,000 people and proposes to use it as an interim venue while the permanent amphitheaters are constructed.
The approval of the "City Le0er of Understanding & Agreement" would allow the series of concerts to occur in 2025 - 2027. This situa7on is different than the City's Special Event process (ACMC 60 Sec7on 5.05) - although certain Special Event standards would s7ll apply, including submission of a "fire/EMS public safety plan" to the American Canyon Fire Protec7on District Fire Chief for approval and a " Security and Crowd Control Plan" and a "Parking and Traffic Control Plan" to the City for review. This Agreement is separate and distinct from the Amphitheater CUP.
Using the Square as a "proof of concept" will help expose visitors to the uniqueness and appeal of NVRG and in turn accelerate its success as a local, regional, and statewide center for culture, art, recrea7on, and commerce, as well as the future development and opera7on of a permanent entertainment enterprise.
On January 24, 2025 the Council adopted a Memorandum of Understanding which has since undergone de minimis amendments, for City Staff seek Council ratification.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Economic Development and Vitality: "A0ract and expand diverse business and employment opportunities."
FISCAL IMPACT
The Recommended Action will not have any impact on the City's FY 2024/25 Budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Recommended Ac7on (approval of the "City Le0er of Understanding & Agreement") is a contemplated “Project Approvals” analyzed under the Project FEIR and the Watson Ranch Specific Plan Development Agreement. Under CEQA, the Watson Ranch Specific Plan Project FEIR is a program EIR and is generally assumed to be used at a "development level." See, e.g., CEQA Guidelines § 15168. There is no substan7al evidence of changed circumstances under CEQA Guidelines sec7on 15162 requiring further CEQA review as the whole of the approvals sought are contemplated under the Project FEIR analysis.

ITEM NUMBER: 13.
TITLE
Establish Electric Vehicle Charging Fees
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu*on amending the Master Fee Schedule to include new user fees for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations.
CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
Juan Gomez, Finance Director/Interim Assistant City Manager
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Background
The City first installed a dual port electric vehicle charging sta*on at the City's Park and Ride on Crawford Way in 2016. As part of the City's commitment to promo*ng sustainable transporta*on op*ons and reducing greenhouse emissions, the City added two addi*onal dual port sta*ons to City Hall in 2021 for a total of 6 public charging sta*ons. The usage of the City owned charging sta*ons has grown steadily every year with demand for addi*onal sta*ons only increasing, therefore staff is regularly seeking grant funding for more installations.
The City was awarded a 2023 Transporta*on for Clean Air Grant (TFCA) through the Napa Valley Transporta*on Authority that funded two dual port solar chargers that were placed at the Phillip West Aqua*c Center and Napa Junc*on in July 2024 with two addi*onal dual port chargers pending construc*on at City Hall this spring. The City was awarded another TFCA grant in 2024 that will be funded in Fiscal Year 25/26 and 26/27 for at least three new dual port charging stations.
Analysis
To date, the City has been providing free use for all the exis*ng City owned sta*ons. However, as the demand has increased so has the cost for providing electricity and opera*ng the exis*ng sta*ons. By implemen*ng fees for EV chargers, the City can ensure the sustainability and effec*veness of the charging infrastructure while con*nuing to support the transi*on towards cleaner transportation alternatives.
In calendar year 2024, the City paid approximately $45,636 in electricity and opera*on costs. In 62 addi*on, as the sta*ons age the call-outs for repair and maintenance have increased with one of the newest chargers having to be completely replaced at City Hall in 2025 at a cost of $12,427.In considering a fee structure, staff researched other public EV Charging fees and found different methodologies in setting rates:
Maintain a reduced rate to incentivize the use of more electric vehicles Match the rate of actual expenses and remain revenue neutral Increase the charging rate slightly higher to provide for maintenance and replacement costs Add an "idle" fee to increase movement of cars that have completed charging Combination of a flat rate plus charges for overstaying after a set number of hours Rates within our region vary based on the above methodologies:
Walgreens American Canyon, $0.40 per kWh and $10 per hour idle fee Meritage Resort, $3.00 per hour flat rate
City of Napa 448 Brown Street Parking Garage, $0.48 per kWh Napa Outlets, $0.40 per kWh
City of Pinole, $0.35-0.40 per kWh, Fee per session $1.50, Idle fee $1.00 per minute up to 30 minutes
City of Woodland, $0.49 per kWh
Town of Yountville, $0.42 per hour
County of Sonoma, Fee per session $1.00, $1.00 per hour for first 4 hours, $10.00 per hour thereafter
Staff's recommenda*on is to remain cost neutral for seHng charging fees at this *me so that it s*ll encourages u*liza*on of the charging sta*ons as well as being more financially sustainable to the City. The actual cost to the City per kilowaI hour (kWh) and licensing and support for charging sta*on soJware is $0.47, therefore staff is recommending a fee of $0.47 kWh plus an incen*ve to move your vehicle once charging is completed by offering a 30-minute grace period and charging $2.50 every 15 minutes thereafter until the vehicle is moved.
No. Fee Fee Type Fee Amount
1. Electric Vehicle Charging Rate Fee $0.47 per kWh
2. Idle Rate (grace period of 30 minutes) Fee $2.50 per 15 minutes Rates will be effec*ve on February 10, 2025. The actual rate implementa*on is simple through the respec*ve vendors online dashboard. The proposed fee structure will be communicated to the public through various channels, including the City's website, social media plaKorms, and signage at charging sta*ons. Users will be able to pay for their charging sessions directly through a mobile app that is provided by the sta*on vendor, be it EV Connect or Chargepoint, providing convenience and accessibility.
63 The City’s exis*ng and future electric fleet vehicles will be able to charge at no cost to the City through use of a provided fleet card. In addi*on, the electric vehicle charging rate will apply to the stations located at all City locations.
Staff will con*nue to monitor charging usage sta*s*cs at City owned sta*ons through the online dashboards provided by the respec*ve charging sta*on vendors as well as electricity costs to make informed user fee recommendations in the future.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Infrastructure: "Develop and maintain infrastructure resources to support sustainable growth."
FISCAL IMPACT
The fees will generate revenue that will offset actual expenses paid by the General Fund for the cost of electricity and soJware licensing and support related to the charging sta*ons. A higher rate was not proposed at this *me to cover non-rou*ne maintenance and/or replacement costs, but any idle fees collected would offset some of those expenses.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15378(b) - The ac*on is not a "Project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "Project" under Public Resources Code Sec*ons 21065 and 21080 and in Section 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
On February 20, 2024, the City entered into an Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement between City of American Canyon and Recology American Canyon for Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Organic Waste Collection, Processing, and Disposal Services. Section 3.24 of the agreement states:
“Collector shall collect Solid Waste Overages placed in 32 gallon plas.c bags (or other bags or bundles deemed acceptable by Collector) set out beside Solid Waste Containers by Residen.al or Commercial/Industrial customers on such customers’ regularly scheduled collec.on day, provided, however, that Collector shall not be required to collect more than, 32 gallons of overages unless the customer has scheduled such collec.on with Collector in advance. Collector may charge for Garbage Overages at the rates as set forth in Exhibit B.”
Upon reviewing the 2025 rate schedule, it was revealed that there is no rate for Garbage Overages in Exhibit B (Schedule of Approved Rates) of the agreement as stated above in section 3.24.
On October 31, 2024, Recology American Canyon submi@ed a request to include language that defines an Overage, how Overages will be assessed and the rate for Overages. Staff has collaborated with Recology to add the following language to the current contract:
69 1. Add to ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS
1.1.47 “Overage” means excess volume of materials in a container, such that the lid of the container is lifted above its fully closed position.
2. Replace Section 3.24 with:
“Collector shall collect Solid Waste Overages placed in 32 gallon plas.c bags (or other bags or bundles deemed acceptable by Collector) set out beside Solid Waste Containers by Residen.al or Commercial/Industrial customers on such customers’ regularly scheduled collec.on day, provided, however, that Collector shall not be required to collect more than, 32 gallons of overages unless the customer has scheduled such collection with Collector in advance.
For Overages beginning with the third occurrence per Customer, Contractor may collect the Container and charge the Overage fee set forth on Exhibit B, provided that Contractor provided wri@en no.ce to the Customer of the first and second instances. The wri@en no.ce may be provided by U.S. Mail, email, or a tag leD on the Customer’s Container. The Overage fee set forth on Exhibit B shall be adjusted on an annual basis in accordance with the methodology set forth in Sec.on 6.2 The no.ces provided to Customers for the first and second instances shall include the date of the Overage, informa.on on set out requirements, and no.fica.on that fees will be assessed beginning with the third occurrence of Overages.
3. Add to EXHIBIT B SCHEDULE OF APPROVED RATES
Residential Overage
Carts: $15
Commercial Overage
Carts: $15
Bins: $75
The rates for the overages were determined by looking at the difference between a customer’s current service volume and the next size up. For residen.al carts there was an average difference of $18.28 and for commercial carts the average was $23.80. The average difference in size for overloaded bins is $79.39.
The overloaded container rates are balanced to cover the increased cost of disposal, fuel and truck capacity while also disincen.vizing customers from inten.onally subscribing to a smaller size and paying an overage rate of li@le significance. Overage charges encourage customers to properly manage their waste, through increased recycling and compos.ng and subscribing to the correct container sizes. When customers are undersubscribed to service they are not paying their fair share 70 of expenses and there is oDen spillage from containers which creates sca@ered li@er and blight in the community.
Residential
Cart Size Rate Next Cart Size Up Rate Difference
32-Gal $33.44 64-Gal $50.84 $17.40
64-Gal $50.84 96-Gal $73.85 $23.01
32Gal Lifeline $28.42 64-Gal Lifeline $42.08 $13.66
64-Gal Lifeline $42.08 98-Gal Lifeline $61.12 $19.04
AVG Difference $18.28
Commercial
Cart Size Rate Next Cart Size Up Rate Difference
32-Gal $33.37 64-Gal $59.51 $26.14
64-Gal $59.51 96-Gal $80.97 $21.46
AVG Difference $23.80
Bin Size Rate Next Bin Size Up Rate Difference
2-Yard $523.98 3-Yard $607.34 $83.36
3-Yard $607.34 4-Yard $666.89 $59.55
4-Yard $666.89 6-Yard $762.16 $95.27
AVG Difference $79.39
Staff recommends approving the resolu.on to amend the contract for overage language and proposed overage rates.

TITLE
Giovannoni Tentative Parcel Map and Design Permit Extension
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution for a twelve-month extension to the Giovannoni Logistics Center Tentative Parcel Map and Design Permit from March 21, 2025, to March 21, 2026, APNs 057-130-034 and 057-130- 036 (File No. PL24-0031)

William He, AICP, Senior Planner
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The Giovannoni Logis7cs Center consists of up to 2.4 million square feet of high-cube warehouse on 163 acres of a 208-acre project site. Approximately 45-acres will remain open space for stormwater deten7on and wetlands preserva7on. The semi-rectangular project site is bordered by industrial development in the Green Island Business Park to the west, the Napa Logis7cs Park and Devlin Road to the north, the Napa Branch Line to the east, and Green Island Road, a stone supply business, and a wine distribution warehouse to the south. A location map is included as Attachment 2.
The City Council approved a Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) and Design Permit on March 21, 2023. The TPM will expire two years from the approvaldate if a Final Map is not completed and ready for Recorda7on (Municipal Code (ACMC)Chapter 18). The Design Permit will expire in two years if the project construc7on does not commence (ACMC Sec7on 19.41.060). Currently, the applicant is processing mass grading plans for the project but they have not summi?ed a final map, and construction has not yet commenced.
On November 15, 2024, the Applicant requested a TPM and Design Permit extension due to ongoing legal ma?ers outside the applicant's control that have delayed the project. The applicant’s le?er of justification is available as Attachment 3.
The Subdivision Ordinance states that a TPM will expire two years from the approval date. The Municipal Code further states that if the TPM is extended, theDesign Permit associated with the TPM will also be extended (American Canyon Municipal Code Section 19.41.060). 74 The City Council is en7tled to grant a twelve-month TPM extension up to three 7mes when there are no significant changes to the project (ACMC Sec7on 18). Approval of this first request would extend the TPM and Design Permit expiration date to March 21, 2026.
Public Outreach
Project outreach occurred between January 21, 2025, and February 3, 2025. A copy of the public notification addresses and map is included in Attachment 4. Specific events are outlined below:
Jan. 5, 2021 – Original Posting of Project on website

Feb. 4, 2025 – City Council Meeting
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Economic Development and Vitality: "A?ract and expand diverse business and employment opportunities."
FISCAL IMPACT
The Giovannoni TPM and Design Permit extension project required a developer deposit for review and processing, so there is no fiscal impact for staff time.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Tenta7ve Parcel Map and Design Permit was contemplated in the Giovannoni Logis7cs Center EIR (SCH #2021010104), which was cer7fied by the City Council in March 2023. The 12-month Parcel Map and Design Permit extension is substan7ally consistent with the cer7fied EIR and approved project. In accordance with CEQA Sec7on 15162, no further analysis is required when there is no substantial evidence of changed circumstances.

RE: Resolution No. 2023-24 – Giovannoni Logistics Center Tentative Parcel Map (PL 20-0043) Dear Mr. Cooper,
Please accept this letter as my formal request for an extension on the approval of the Tentative Parcel Map referenced above which was originally approved on March 21, 2023. The map pertains to existing APNs 057-130-034 (portion) and 057-130-036 and would ultimately facilitate the final parcels for our future development, including dedication of the required conservation easement. A copy of the map is attached for reference. The current expiration is March 25, 2025.
Due to ongoing legal matters outside of the projects control, our timeline in moving forward with development has been temporarily delayed. While we are committed to recording the map and commencing construction, I am not confident I will be able to meet the March 2025 map deadline given the current circumstances. As such, I’m requesting a 12-month extension for the approval and recordation of the subject map to allow enough time for the underlying legal matters to resolve.
We are committed to moving forward with this project and appreciate your consideration of this request.
I’m happy to provide any additional information, if needed.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
Sincerely,
Katelyn Moore

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu.on 1) amending the FY2024-25 Capital Budget and increasing the Project Budget from $450,000 to $950,000; 2) awarding a construc.on contract to Marina Landscape, Inc. in the amount of $679,065.95, and 3) authorizing the Public Works Director to execute contract change orders in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Project Budget, in conjunc.on with the Wetlands Edge Enhancement Project (PR19-0100).

Alexandra Ikeda, Parks and Recreation Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
In 2017, the City Council approved the Clarke Ranch Master Plan in response to overwhelming public support for expanded ameni.es and services. The Wetlands Edge Enhancement Project builds on that vision by crea.ng an inclusive space for outdoor learning and family gatherings.
Furthermore, the receipt of a $250,000 Outdoor Environmental Educa.on Facili.es grant from California State Parks underscores the project's importance and provides essen.al funding for its implementa.on. Upon comple.on, the Wetlands Edge Enhancement Project will serve as a key des.na.on for residents and visitors, offering a range of ac.vi.es that cater to diverse interests while preserving the ecological integrity of the site.
The primary objec.ve of the Wetlands Edge Enhancement Project is to provide several outdoor ameni.es that enhance educa.onal and recrea.onal opportuni.es while preserving the site's natural environment. Key components include the design and construc.on of an outdoor classroom, a nature trail, demonstra.on gardens and interpre.ve signage and exhibits. The outdoor classroom will feature shaded sea.ng for approximately 40 people and promo.ng environmental educa.on and community engagement. Demonstra.on gardens will showcase na.ve and pollinator-friendly plants, further suppor.ng local biodiversity. The nature trail, a linear path composed of compacted decomposed granite, will provide ADA-compliant access and a formalized route for visitors to explore the wetlands area without disturbing the natural grasses. Interpre.ve signage and exhibits 92 along the trail will offer interac.ve learning opportuni.es, highligh.ng topics such as local wildlife, na.ve plants, migra.on paBerns, and wetlands conserva.on. This project is jus.fied by the significant community interest in enhancing recreational and educational facilities.
The City solicited competitive bids for the Project on December 3, 2024. The Engineer's Estimate was $564,731. On January 9, 2025, the following bids were received:
Bidder Total Bid Amount
Marina Landscape, Inc. $679,065.95
Kerex Engineering $986,460.72
Hanford Applied Restoration &
Conservation
$1,064,054.75
The bid submiBed by Marina Landscape Inc., in the amount of $679,065.95 was the apparent low bid. Staff has reviewed the bid from Marina Landscape Inc., and found it to be both responsive and responsible. Staff has verified the contractor's qualifica.ons including valid Class A license, DIR registra.on, and references, and found them to be sa.sfactory and acceptable. The prices of the Bid Items reflect the reasonable and customary costs of comple.ng the work. Staff recommends the Council award a construc.on contract to Marina Landscape, Inc. in the amount of $679,065.95 in conjunction with the Wetlands Edge Enhancement Project (PR19-0100).
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Outdoors and Recrea.on: "Expand opportuni.es for use of outdoor recrea.on and an ac.ve and healthy lifestyle."
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY2024-25 Capital Budget currently provides for a Project Budget for the Wetlands Edge Enhancement Project (PR19-0100) in the amount of $450,000. Upon comple.on of the design and receipt of bids, it was determined that addi.onal funds are required to complete the Project. The table below is the proposed updated Project Budget.

COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS
SELECTION POLICY
2025-
PURPOSE
The City of American Canyon seeks to recognize and acknowledge community service and volunteer efforts by local organizations and individuals. In addition, the City recognizes a few outstanding members of the community who have made significant contributions to the community by presenting them with a “Gateway Award”, “Youth of the Year Award”, and “Public Safety Member of the Year”. This policy identifies the criteria and process for awarding the Gateway and other related awards.
Section One: Service Award Categories and Eligibility
The Gateway and other awards are among the City's greatest and most prestigious honors. As described below, they are intended to recognize significant community service, pride, and interest in making American Canyon a better place. All winners in categories 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 shall be a resident of American Canyon.
1.0 Gateway Award —nominees should display the American Canyon community spirit, embody the community values and interests, and a successful track record of working for the betterment of the City. The Gateway Award winner will also be the Grand Marshal at the City’s Fourth of July Parade. Nominees should meet the following qualifications and demonstrate the following traits:
1.1 Must be a resident of American Canyon
1.2 May only be selected once
1.3 The contributions must be voluntary; individuals paid to perform the community service are not eligible (but see below for Community Achievement Award)
1.4 The individual should have a long-term and varied involvement in the development of American Canyon organizations or significant projects.

5.0 Organizational Award Winner – Any nonprofit community organization, service club, school-related organization, faith-based organization, or sports program may nominate one of their members to be their Volunteer of the Year. That agency may also select up to ten other members for Certificates of Appreciation.
6.0 Community Achievement Award – This is a recognition that is not always awarded each year. It reflects an individual that may not qualify under the conditions of this policy, but who may nonetheless be deserving. The individual may be in a paid position, however they shall demonstrate a substantial and lasting positive impact on the community. The impact of the program/project should promote local businesses, non-profits, local charities or grassroot initiatives as part of the qualifications. The former Gateway Award Winners are authorized to select an individual deserving of the award.
Section Two: Nomination & Selection Process
1.0 Gateway Award –
1.1 Nominations may be made by any American Canyon resident, business owner or employee. City staff will develop and produce the nomination forms for both online and offline use, as well as to establish deadlines for receiving the nominations.
1.2 The Gateway Award winner will be voted on by the former Gateway Award winners and the City Council. To make the selection process as fair as possible, the City will utilize an electronic (online) voting process; however, a secret paper “ballot” may be used as necessary.
1.3 Prior to the vote, the former Gateway Award winners should meet privately to discuss the nominees. Given the Brown Act restrictions, Council members will not participate in that process.
1.4 Selections shall be made by allowing each City Council Member and each former Gateway Award winner one vote. However, in the event a Councilmember is also a Gateway Award winner, they shall still only be allowed one vote.
1.5 After the voting deadline has passed, City staff conducts a simple tally of votes to determine the winner. Votes received after the deadline will not be counted. The Gateway Award winner is notified of the wonderful news. In the event of a tie, two winners may be announced.
