CONTACT
Jemelyn Cruz, Finance Director/Treasurer
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City’s Investment Policy requires the Treasurer/Finance Director to submit a wri1en allowable policy to the City Council annually within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year. The Policy defines the scope and authority for investment ac5vi5es, objec5ves, strategies, allowable investments, and reporting requirements.
The City contracts with Chandler Asset Management to assist in the management of this City’s pooled cash investment por8olio. The City also maintains investments with the California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and the California Asset Management Program (CAMP). The revised policy incorporates the following updates,
Section Ten: Allowable Investment Instruments
10.2.14 Local Government Investment Pools (LGIP) - Removed the specific names listed within the section
10.2.19 Shares of Beneficial Interest Issued by a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) - Incorporated this sec5on to further clarify the eligibility of investment pools issued by JPAs which would encompass California CLASS, CalTRUST, CAMP, etc.
Section Eleven: Prohibited Investment Vehicles and Practices
11.8 Determined the defini5on of a QIB can be made outside of an investment policy and therefore is not needed for inclusion here.
Section Eighteen: Performance Evaluation
18.2 Included a statement regarding the potential for a benchmark to change over time.
Section Twenty-One: Glossary of Investment Terms
Updated the sec5on to include terms used throughout the policy and removed terms that are not used on order to refine the section.
31 COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."
FISCAL IMPACT
The Recommended Action will have no direct fiscal impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15378(b) - The ac5on is not a "Project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "Project" under Public Resources Code Sec5ons 21065 and 21080 and in Section 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

INVESTMENT POLICY
Section One: Introduction
1.1 The purpose of this policy is to establish a prudent and systematic investment policy, and to organize and formalize investment-related activities. This policy is written to incorporate industry best practices and recommendations from sources such as the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA), California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC) and the Association of Public Treasurers (APT).
1.2 The City's Investment Policy is authorized under the California Government Code, section 53600, et, seq. as it applies to the investment of public funds, and the American Canyon Municipal Code, Section 2.16.030.
Section Two: Scope
2.2 This policy covers all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City, as set forth in the State Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq., with the following exceptions:
• Proceeds of debt issuance shall be invested in accordance with the City’s general investment philosophy as set forth in this policy; however, such proceeds are to be invested pursuant to the permitted investment provisions of their specific bond indentures.
• Any other funds specifically exempted by the City Council.
2.3 Pooling of Funds: Apart from fiduciary funds with additional investment restrictions, and any other funds directed by City Council, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping and administration.
Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Section Three: Prudence
3.1 Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the Prudent Investor Standard:
“…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, 34 exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.”
3.2 The Finance Director and other authorized persons responsible for managing City funds acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes provided that the Finance Director or other authorized persons acted in good faith. Deviations from expectations of a security’s credit or market risk should be reported to the City Council in a timely fashion and appropriate action should be taken to control adverse developments.
Section Four: Objectives
4.1 The City’s overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. The overriding objectives of the program are to preserve principal, provide sufficient liquidity, and manage investment risks, while seeking a market-rate of return.
4.2 Safety - It is the primary duty and responsibility of the Finance Director to protect, preserve and maintain cash and investments placed in his/her trust on behalf of the citizens of American Canyon. Investments will be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, the City will diversify its investments by investing funds among a variety of securities with independent returns.
4.3 Liquidity - The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. An adequate percentage of the City's investment portfolio should be maintained in liquid short-term securities which can be converted to cash if necessary, to meet disbursement requirements. Since all cash requirements cannot be anticipated, investments in securities with active secondary or resale markets is highly recommended. Emphasis should be on marketable securities with low sensitivity to market risk.
4.4 Return on Investments – Yield and return should become a consideration only after the basic requirements of safety and liquidity have been met. The portfolio should be designed to attain a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and State and local laws, ordinances or resolutions that restrict investments.
35 Section Five: Delegation of Authority
5.1 Authority to manage the City’s investment program is derived from California Government Code, Sections 41006 for City Treasurers and 53600 et seq.
5.2 The City Council is responsible for the management of the City’s funds, including the administration of this investment policy. Management responsibility for the cash management of the City’s funds is hereby delegated to the Finance Director.
5.3 The Finance Director will be responsible for all transactions undertaken and will establish a system of procedures and controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and employees. Such procedures will include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Finance Director.
5.4 The City may engage the services of one or more external investment advisers, who are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to assist in the management of the City’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City’s objectives. External investment advisers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this investment policy.
5.5 The City’s overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The City recognizes that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses may be inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s return and the cash flow requirements of the City.
Section Six: Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
6.1 All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust.
Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. Thus, employees and officials involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.
6.2 Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the Chief Executive Officer any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking any personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.
6.3 All participants in the investment process are required to comply with terms of the Political Reform Act, Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations promulgated 36 thereunder (2 C.C.R. §§ 18110 through 18998), the City’s Conflict of Interest Policy, including, without limitation, filing of Form 700, notification and recusal obligations, and Government Code section 1090 prohibitions.
Section Seven: Internal Controls
7.1 A system of internal control shall be established and documented in writing. The controls shall be designed to prevent losses of public funds arising from fraud, employee error, misrepresentation of third parties, unanticipated changes in financial markets, or imprudent actions by employees and officers of the City.
7.2 Controls deemed most important include:
a. The control of collusion and separation of duties;
b. Custodial safekeeping of funds invested or on deposit; c. Minimizing the number of authorized Investment Officers; and d. Written documentation of procedures and transactions.
7.3 In selecting financial institutions for the deposit or investment of City funds, the Finance Director shall consider the credit-worthiness of the institution. Such creditworthiness shall be monitored on a regular basis throughout the period in which City funds are deposited or invested.
a. Any deposit or investment of funds shall be in writing, signed by the Finance Director and the authorized representative of the institution. b. All transfers must be made by authorized personnel and properly logged and documented.
7.4 The Finance Director shall encourage peer review of the Finance Director's investments and investment practices. In addition, the City's cash management and investment practices shall be included in any outside financial audit of the City.
7.5 An annual Cash Flow Forecast may be prepared by the Finance Director and would be used to assist in the development of the annual operating budget for the City.
Section Eight: Authorized Financial Institutions, Depositories, and Broker/Dealers
8.1 To the extent practicable, the Finance Director shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible. The City’s Finance Director will determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City. It shall be the City’s policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.
8.2 The Finance Director shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence. Due diligence shall determine 37 whether such authorized broker/dealers, and the individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced in Public Agency investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-1 (uniform net capital rule).
8.3 In accordance with Section 53601.5, institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City include:
• Institutions licensed by the state and proof of FINRA certification as a brokerdealer as defined in Section 25004 of the Corporations Code; • Institutions that are members of a federally regulated securities exchange; • Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank and non-primary government dealers;
• Nationally or state-chartered banks;
• Savings association or federal association (as defined in Section 5102 of the Financial Code);
• The Federal Reserve Bank; or
• Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.
8.4 Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions will be at the sole discretion of the City, except where the City utilizes an external investment adviser in which case the City may rely on the adviser for selection.
8.5 All financial institutions which desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions (and which are not dealing only with the investment adviser) must supply the Finance Director with audited financials and a statement certifying that the institution has reviewed the California Government Code, Section 53600 et seq. and the City’s investment policy. The Finance Director will conduct an annual review of the financial condition and registrations of such qualified bidders.
8.6 Public deposits will be made only in qualified public depositories as established by State law. Deposits will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or, to the extent the amount exceeds the insured maximum, will be collateralized in accordance with State law.
8.7 Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded. If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities.
When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.
38 Section Nine: City’s Investment Strategy
9.1 The most effective method of increasing investment yields without sacrificing safety is to extend the investment horizon commensurate with the City's cash requirements.
To that end, improved cash forecasting and management is the preferred investment strategy for the City.
a) Cash management activities include accurate cash projections, the expeditious collection of revenue, the control of disbursements, cost-effective banking relations, and a short-term borrowing program, when needed, that coordinates working capital requirements and investment opportunity.
Section Ten: Allowable Investment Instruments
10.1 The City investments are governed by California Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq. Within the investments permitted by the Code, the City seeks to further restrict eligible investments to the guidelines listed below. In the event a discrepancy is found between this policy and the Code, the more restrictive parameters will take precedence. Percentage holding limits and minimum credit quality requirements listed in this section apply at the time the security is purchased. Any investment currently held at the time the policy is adopted which does not meet the new policy guidelines can be held until maturity and shall be exempt from the current policy. At the time of the investment’s maturity or liquidation, such funds shall be reinvested only as provided in the current policy.

• The City shall receive monthly statements of collateral.
Section Fourteen: Delivery, Safekeeping and Custody
14.1 Delivery-versus-Payment (DVP). All investment transactions shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment basis.
14.2 Safekeeping and Custody. To protect against potential losses due to failure of individual securities dealers, and to enhance access to securities, interest payments and maturity proceeds, all cash and securities in the City’s portfolio shall be held in safekeeping in the City’s name by a third party custodian, acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and the City. All investment transactions will require a safekeeping receipt or acknowledgment generated from the trade. A monthly report will be received by the City from the custodian listing all securities held in safekeeping with current market data and other information.
14.3 The only exceptions to the foregoing shall be depository accounts and securities purchases made with: (i) local government investment pools; (ii) time certificates of deposit, and, (iii) mutual funds and money market mutual funds, since the purchased securities are not deliverable.

15.2 The City will not invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of trade settlement, unless the City Council has by resolution granted authority to make such an investment.
Section Sixteen: Risk Management and Diversification
16.1 Mitigating Credit Risk in the Portfolio
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
• The diversification requirements included in the “Allowable Investment Instruments” section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio.
• No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy. • The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or City’s risk preferences. • If the credit ratings of any security owned by the City are downgraded to a level below the quality required by this investment policy, the following steps will be taken.
• If a security is downgraded to a level below the quality required by this investment policy, the Finance Director will use discretion in determining whether to sell or hold the security based on its current maturity, the economic outlook for the issuer, and other relevant factors.
• Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the City’s professional investment manager will be communicated to the Finance Director in a timely manner.
• If a decision is made to retain a security downgraded to a level below the quality required by this investment policy in the portfolio, its presence in the portfolio will be monitored and reported monthly to the City Council. 47 16.2 Mitigating Market Risk in the Portfolio
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.
16.3 The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
• The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.
• The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy. • The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City based on the City’s investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances.
Section Seventeen: Review of Investment Portfolio
17.1 The Finance Director shall periodically, but no less than quarterly, review the portfolio to identify investments that do not comply with this investment policy and establish protocols for reporting major and critical incidences of noncompliance to the City Council.
Section Eighteen: Performance Evaluation
18.1 The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and state and local laws, ordinances or resolutions that restrict investments.
18.2 The Finance Director shall monitor and evaluate the portfolio’s performance relative to the chosen market benchmark(s), which will be included in the Finance Director ’s quarterly report. The Finance Director shall select an appropriate, readily available index to use as a market benchmark. Benchmarks may change over time based on changed in market conditions or cash flow requirements. 48 Section Nineteen: Reporting Requirements
19.1 The Finance Director shall submit annually a written investment policy to the City Council. The Council shall consider the investment policy at a public meeting.
19.2 The Finance Director shall submit a quarterly investment report to the City Council.
The report must be submitted within 45 days following the end of the month covered by the report. Such report shall include at least the following information:

19.3 Periodic reports shall be prepared as required by circumstances or as directed by City Council. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, notification that any City investment may be in jeopardy, or a sudden and significant drop in the current market value of any City investment.
Section Twenty: Review of Investment Policy
20.1 The investment policy will be reviewed and adopted at least annually within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year, to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives of preservation of principal, liquidity and return, and its relevance to current law and financial and economic trends.
20.2 Any recommended modifications or amendments shall be presented by Staff to the City Council for their consideration and adoption.

INVESTMENT POLICY
Section One: Introduction
1.1 The purpose of this policy is to establish a prudent and systematic investment policy, and to organize and formalize investment-related activities. This policy is written to incorporate industry best practices and recommendations from sources such as the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA), California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC) and the Association of Public Treasurers (APT).
1.2 The City's Investment Policy is authorized under the California Government Code, section 53600, et, seq. as it applies to the investment of public funds, and the American Canyon Municipal Code, Section 2.16.030.
Section Two: Scope
2.2 This policy covers all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City, as set forth in the State Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq., with the following exceptions:
Proceeds of debt issuance shall be invested in accordance with the City’s general investment philosophy as set forth in this policy; however, such proceeds are to be invested pursuant to the permitted investment provisions of their specific bond indentures.
Any other funds specifically exempted by the City Council.
2.3 Pooling of Funds: Apart from fiduciary funds with additional investment restrictions, and any other funds directed by City Council, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping and administration.
Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Section Three: Prudence
3.1 Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the Prudent Investor Standard:
“…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, 55 exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.”
3.2 The Finance Director and other authorized persons responsible for managing City funds acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes provided that the Finance Director or other authorized persons acted in good faith. Deviations from expectations of a security’s credit or market risk should be reported to the City Council in a timely fashion and appropriate action should be taken to control adverse developments.
Section Four: Objectives
4.1 The City’s overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. The overriding objectives of the program are to preserve principal, provide sufficient liquidity, and manage investment risks, while seeking a market-rate of return.
4.2 Safety - It is the primary duty and responsibility of the Finance Director to protect, preserve and maintain cash and investments placed in his/her trust on behalf of the citizens of American Canyon. Investments will be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, the City will diversify its investments by investing funds among a variety of securities with independent returns.
4.3 Liquidity - The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. An adequate percentage of the City's investment portfolio should be maintained in liquid short-term securities which can be converted to cash if necessary, to meet disbursement requirements. Since all cash requirements cannot be anticipated, investments in securities with active secondary or resale markets is highly recommended. Emphasis should be on marketable securities with low sensitivity to market risk.
4.4 Return on Investments – Yield and return should become a consideration only after the basic requirements of safety and liquidity have been met. The portfolio should be designed to attain a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and State and local laws, ordinances or resolutions that restrict investments.
56 Section Five: Delegation of Authority
5.1 Authority to manage the City’s investment program is derived from California Government Code, Sections 41006 for City Treasurers and 53600 et seq.
5.2 The City Council is responsible for the management of the City’s funds, including the administration of this investment policy. Management responsibility for the cash management of the City’s funds is hereby delegated to the Finance Director.
5.3 The Finance Director will be responsible for all transactions undertaken and will establish a system of procedures and controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and employees. Such procedures will include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Finance Director.
5.4 The City may engage the services of one or more external investment advisers, who are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to assist in the management of the City’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City’s objectives. External investment advisers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this investment policy.
5.5 The City’s overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The City recognizes that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses may be inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s return and the cash flow requirements of the City.
Section Six: Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
6.1 All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust.
Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. Thus, employees and officials involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.
6.2 Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the Chief Executive Officer any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking any personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.
6.3 All participants in the investment process are required to comply with terms of the Political Reform Act, Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations promulgated 57 thereunder (2 C.C.R. §§ 18110 through 18998), the City’s Conflict of Interest Policy, including, without limitation, filing of Form 700, notification and recusal obligations, and Government Code section 1090 prohibitions.
Section Seven: Internal Controls
7.1 A system of internal control shall be established and documented in writing. The controls shall be designed to prevent losses of public funds arising from fraud, employee error, misrepresentation of third parties, unanticipated changes in financial markets, or imprudent actions by employees and officers of the City.
7.2 Controls deemed most important include:
a. The control of collusion and separation of duties;
b. Custodial safekeeping of funds invested or on deposit; c. Minimizing the number of authorized Investment Officers; and d. Written documentation of procedures and transactions.

Section Eight: Authorized Financial Institutions, Depositories, and Broker/Dealers
8.1 To the extent practicable, the Finance Director shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible. The City’s Finance Director will determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City. It shall be the City’s policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.
8.2 The Finance Director shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence. Due diligence shall determine 58 whether such authorized broker/dealers, and the individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced in Public Agency investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-1 (uniform net capital rule).
8.3 In accordance with Section 53601.5, institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City include:
Institutions licensed by the state and proof of FINRA certification as a brokerdealer as defined in Section 25004 of the Corporations Code; Institutions that are members of a federally regulated securities exchange; Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank and non-primary government dealers;

8.4 Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions will be at the sole discretion of the City, except where the City utilizes an external investment adviser in which case the City may rely on the adviser for selection.
8.5 All financial institutions which desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions (and which are not dealing only with the investment adviser) must supply the Finance Director with audited financials and a statement certifying that the institution has reviewed the California Government Code, Section 53600 et seq. and the City’s investment policy. The Finance Director will conduct an annual review of the financial condition and registrations of such qualified bidders.
8.6 Public deposits will be made only in qualified public depositories as established by State law. Deposits will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or, to the extent the amount exceeds the insured maximum, will be collateralized in accordance with State law.
8.7 Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded. If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities.
When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.
59 Section Nine: City’s Investment Strategy
9.1 The most effective method of increasing investment yields without sacrificing safety is to extend the investment horizon commensurate with the City's cash requirements.
To that end, improved cash forecasting and management is the preferred investment strategy for the City.
a) Cash management activities include accurate cash projections, the expeditious collection of revenue, the control of disbursements, cost-effective banking relations, and a short-term borrowing program, when needed, that coordinates working capital requirements and investment opportunity.
Section Ten: Allowable Investment Instruments

Within the investments permitted by the Code, the City seeks to further restrict eligible investments to the guidelines listed below.

The City shall require any bank or financial institution to comply with the collateralization criteria defined in California Government Code, Section 53651.

14.1 Delivery-versus-Payment (DVP). All investment transactions shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment basis.
14.2 Safekeeping and Custody.

All investment transactions will require a safekeeping receipt or acknowledgment generated from the trade.

Section Sixteen: Risk Management and Diversification
16.1 Mitigating Credit Risk in the Portfolio
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
The diversification requirements included in the “Allowable Investment Instruments” section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio.
No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy. The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or City’s risk preferences. If the credit ratings of any security owned by the City are downgraded to a level below the quality required by this investment policy, the following steps will be taken.
If a security is downgraded to a level below the quality required by this investment policy, the Finance Director will use discretion in determining whether to sell or hold the security based on its current maturity, the economic outlook for the issuer, and other relevant factors.
Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the City’s professional investment manager will be communicated to the Finance Director in a timely manner.
68 If a decision is made to retain a security downgraded to a level below the quality required by this investment policy in the portfolio, its presence in the portfolio will be monitored and reported monthly to the City Council.
16.2 Mitigating Market Risk in the Portfolio
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.
16.3 The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.
The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy. The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City based on the City’s investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances.
Section Seventeen: Review of Investment Portfolio

81 SECTION 2: Findings to Approve the Development Agreement in accordance with American Canyon Municipal Code Section 19.47.080
1. The proposal for which the Development Agreement is requested conforms with the maps and policies of the general plan and any applicable specific, community, or area plans because: When approving the Project Approvals in 2018, the City Council found the NACC Project consistent with the City's General Plan and the Napa County Napa Valley Business Park Specific Plan, which applies to the subject property. The Development Agreement did not change the project as it was approved in 2018, and the subsequent minor modifications did not find additional environmental impacts that exceeded the impacts identified in the Final EIR. The Development Agreement Amendment extends the time period within which the Project Approvals may be exercised by five years.
2. The proposal for which the development agreement is requested complies with the requirements of California Government Code Sections 65865 through 65869.5, and any other applicable state law, because: The property that will be subject to the Development Agreement is located within the municipal boundaries of the City; and the Development Agreement will be between the City and the owner of the property.
3. The proposal for which the development agreement is requested is consistent with the zoning ordinance and all applicable codes and ordinances because: When approving the Project Approvals in 2018, the City Council found the NACC project consistent with the Zoning Ordinance; the other goals and purposes for which Municipal Code Title 19, Chapter 19.47 was enacted by the City and the City's other applicable codes and ordinances. The subsequent minor modifications from 2020 and 2025 were also found in compliance with the City’s Municipal Code Title 19, Chapter 19.47.
4. The proposal for which the Development Agreement is requested will not be detrimental to or cause adverse effects on adjacent property owners, residents, or the general public because: The City Council made findings when approving the Project Approvals that the proposed development would not be detrimental to or cause adverse effects on adjacent property owners, residents, or the general public, and the extension of time within which the property owner may exercise the Project Approvals will not cause adverse effects.
5. The proposal for which the Development Agreement is requested provides clear and substantial benefit to the residents of the city because: Approval of the proposed Development Agreement Amendment would extend the Project Approvals for five additional years. The extension would eliminate uncertainty in the City's land use planning for the project site and its vicinity, and will provide for orderly growth and development consistent with the City's General Plan, the Napa Valley Business Park Specific Plan and other policies and programs; will provide critical public benefits; and will otherwise achieve the goals and purposes for which Municipal Code Title 19, Chapter 19.47 was enacted by the City.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF AMERICAN CANYON
AND G3 KELLY DEVLIN LLC
This First Amendment to Development Agreement (“First Amendment”), dated as of the Effective Date set forth above, is entered into by and between the City of American Canyon, a California municipal corporation, (“City”) and G3 Kelly Devlin LLC, a California limited liability company (“Developer”). City and Developer may be referred to individually in this First Amendment as “Party” or collectively as “Parties.”
RECITALS
A. City entered into a Development Agreement with an effective date of September 3, 2020, and recorded in the Official Records of Napa County as Document No. 2020-0021130 (the “Development Agreement”), providing for the development and use of that certain property located described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein (the “Property”) consistent with the Tentative Subdivision Map approved in City Council Resolution No. 2019-86 and the Conditional Use Permits and Design Permits approved in City Council Resolution No. 2018-87, City Council Resolution No. 2018-88, and City Council Resolution No. 2018-89, Minor Modification No. PL20-0l6, and Minor Modification No. PL20-017 as more particularly described in the Development Agreement (the “Project”).
B. Since the approval of the Development Agreement, Developer and its predecessors in interest have been proceeding with the development of the Project in accordance with the requirements of the Development Agreement and the Project Approvals. Developer’s progress is detailed in Annual Reports submitted to the City as required by the Development Agreement.
Section 3.4 of the Development Agreement expressly states that market conditions could affect the timing of the Project’s development. The Parties agree that market conditions, including interest rates, local economic investment related to the wine industry, and industrial building supply, have changed significantly since the execution of the Development Agreement.
Statistically, vacancy for warehouse property in American Canyon has risen ±13%, from ±2% vacancy at the time of current Developer’s acquisition (6/12/2023) to 15.7% at the time of this writing, per Costar.com. This increase in vacancy has had a corresponding effect on lease rates, which have declined ±15% during the same time period. Consequently, the current development landscape presents considerable challenges.
C. Following the approval of the Development Agreement, the Developer acquired the adjacent industrially zoned parcel, commonly known as Assessor's Parcel Number 057-090-027, which was previously developed with a single-family residence. Because the single-family residence has been demolished, the sound barrier required by Mitigation Measure MM NOI-1a of 85
the Mitigation Measure and Reporting Program (MMRP) contained in the Project Approvals is no longer necessary to mitigate a significant impact.
D. The Parties wish to document a memorandum dated February 1, 2023 (Exhibit B attached hereto) from William Ross, City Attorney regarding Fair Share Improvement Costs for the Napa Airport Corporate Center Project. Exhibit B shall remain in full force and effect and supersedes Mitigation Measure MM-TRANS-1d of the Development Agreement. The parties further acknowledge that they shall negotiate in good faith to modify the fair share infrastructure costs to better reflect current buildout development demands.
E. The Parties wish to document approved Minor Modifications PL24-016 (Exhibit C attached hereto), PL24-0017 (Exhibit D attached hereto), PL24-0023 (Exhibit E attached hereto) and PL24-0024 (Exhibit F) as Subsequent Approvals and part of the Project as defined by the Development Agreement.
F. The Development Agreement’s Term expires September 3, 2025. City and Developer desire to amend Development Agreement’s Term as provided in this First Amendment.
AGREEMENT
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Parties agree that the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.
2. Amendment to Section 1.5. Section 1.5 of the Development Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“1.5. Term of the Development Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect until September 3, 2030 unless extended or terminated as provided herein (“Term”). Development moratoriums initiated by the City shall not apply to this Project. Following the expiration of this Term or extension thereof, this Agreement shall have no force and effect. The Term of this Agreement any subdivision map, Project Approvals or Subsequent Approvals shall not include any period of time during which a lawsuit involving the approval of this Agreement or any such subdivision maps, Project Approvals or Subsequent Approvals is pending, including actions brought pursuant to CEQA.”
3. Vesting Rights and Limitations. Article 2 of Ordinance 2020-03 shall be modified to reflect the development rights, obligations, terms, and conditions in effect at the time the amended Agreement becomes effective.
4. Fair Share Payment Timing. Developer shall pay applicable fair share infrastructure costs prior to issuance of the first building permit.
5. Public Benefits Timing. Section 3.3 of Ordinance 2020-03 (Public Benefits) is amended to require the Developer to meet and confer in good faith with the City to implement the roadway dedication (Public Benefits) no later than December 31, 2025. 86
6. Addition of Exhibit J, Exhibit K, Exhibit L, Exhibit M, and Exhibit N. Exhibit J, Exhibit K, Exhibit L, Exhibit M, and Exhibit N to the Development Agreement is hereby added to incorporate the Subsequent Approval as attached to this First Amendment as Exhibit B, Exhibit C, Exhibit D, Exhibit E, and Exhibit F and incorporated herein by this reference. Except as specifically modified or amended by Exhibit B, Exhibit C, Exhibit D, Exhibit E, or Exhibit F to this First Amendment, the Project Approvals as defined in the Development Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
7. Exhibits. The following exhibits are attached to this First Amendment and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference for all purposes as if set forth herein in full:
Exhibit A: Property Description
Exhibit B: William D. Ross Memorandum, dated February 1, 2023 Exhibit C: Subsequent Approval Minor Modification PL24-0016 Exhibit D: Subsequent Approval Minor Modification PL24-0017 Exhibit E: Subsequent Approval Minor Modification PL24-0023 Exhibit F: Subsequent Approval Minor Modification PL24-0024
8. Mitigation Measure MM NOI-1a is deleted from the Project Approvals.
9. Except as modified by this First Amendment, all terms and conditions of the Development Agreement remain unchanged and are in full force and effect.
10. This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. [Signatures on Following Page]

WILLIAM D. ROSS MEMORANDUM DATED FEBRUARY 1, 2023
[Attached behind this cover page]
97 1
DATE: February 1, 2023
TO: Michael Kelley
Steve Beauchamp
FROM: William D. Ross, City Attorney
Edison C. Bisnar, Jr. PE, Engineer III, Public Works Department RE: Fair Share Improvement Costs for the Napa Airport Corporate Center Project This memorandum documents the fair share infrastructure payments owed by the Napa Airport Corporate Center (the “Project”) under its conditions of approval. As detailed below, the Project’s total fair share obligation is $395,833.91, representing 5% of total cost of the required roadway and sewer improvements. Payment of this amount to the City of American Canyon (“City”) will fully satisfy the Project’s fair share obligations and applicable conditions of approval.
Fair-Share Requirement for Roadway and Sewer Improvements On July 31, 2018, the City granted approvals for the Project, including a tentative subdivision map (Resolution No. 2018-86) and design permits and conditional use permits (City Resolution Nos. 2018-87, 2018-88, 2018-89) (“Approvals”).
The conditions of approval reflect that another development, the Napa Logistics Park Phase 2 Project (“NLP”), was proposing to install: (1) roadway improvements at South Kelly Road between SR-29 and Devlin Road; and (2): sewer improvements to replace the existing Green Island Pump Station. The conditions of approval require the Project to reimburse the City and/or NLP for the Project’s fair share of the cost of the roadway and sewer improvements, based on its proportional contribution to traffic and sewer flow. (Resolution No. 2018-86, COA 39; Resolution No. 2018-87, COA 53 & 54; Resolution No. 2018-88, COA 66 & 67; Resolution No. 2018-89, COA 66 & 67.) Modifications to Roadway Improvements
The NLP developer subsequently proposed to modify the original roadway improvements, based upon actual land uses, development square footage, and trip generation, and updated transportation plans for the SR-29 corridor.
EXHIBIT B
98 2
On August 2, 2022, the City Council approved modifications to the roadway improvements required for both NLP and the Project. The City’s approval is documented in the “Termination of Amended and Restated Improvement Agreement and First Amendment to Subdivision Improvement and Reimbursement Agreement,” by and between the City and DWF IV NLP II, LLC.
The modified roadway improvements, as shown on the approved plans, consist of:
1. At the intersection of SR-29 at South Kelly Road:
-Southbound approach: construct 1 new right-turn lane
-Eastbound approach: replace existing left-turn lane and throughright lane with 1 new left-turn lane, 1 new left-through lane, and 1 new right-turn lane;
2. At the intersection of South Kelly Road and Devlin Road:
-Westbound approach: construct 1 new left-turn lane; and,
3. South Kelly Road, between Devlin Road and SR-29 intersections:
-Westbound lane: construct new 2nd westbound lane
-Center Lane: construct 1 new two-way left-turn lane.
The City approved an Initial Study/Addendum prepared by First Carbon Solutions, dated July 2022, which determined that the modified roadway improvements did not have any potential for new or more severe significant environmental impacts beyond what had already been identified and evaluated in the NLP Environmental Impact Report.
As noted above, the Project Approvals require the Project to pay its fair share of the roadway improvements as proposed by NLP. Therefore, NLP’s modified roadway improvements are incorporated automatically into the Project Approvals, and are now the basis for the required fair share payment. In addition, City staff have authority to approve “minor changes” to the Project and its conditions of approval, provided the changes substantially comply with earlier approvals, comply with development standards, and do not materially affect adjacent private or public property. (See, e.g., Reso. 2018-87, COA 2.) City staff have determined that updating the Project Approvals to reflect the modified roadway improvements constitutes a minor change, given that the City Council has already approved the modified roadway improvements, and that the actual construction of those improvements is not an obligation of the Project. For these reasons, no further approval is needed to substitute the modified roadway improvements into the Project Approvals, including for purposes of calculating fair share payments.
Fair Share Calculations
The City has prepared and approved fair share calculations for the road and sewer improvements, which are attached as Exhibit A. As shown in these calculations, the Project’s fair share obligation is 5% for both the modified roadway improvements and the sewer improvements. 99 3
The total cost of the roadway improvements is $1,206,450.75 and the total cost of the sewer improvements is $6,710,227.41, as documented in the engineer’s estimates and final costs on file with the City.
Therefore, the Project’s fair share obligation is $60,322.54 for the roadway improvements and $335,511.37 for the sewer improvements, for a total obligation of $395,833.91. Payment of this amount to the City will fully satisfy the Project’s fair share obligations and applicable conditions of approval.

Subject: Approval of the NACC Building E Minor Modification (AA2025-02/PL24-0016) at 920 Devlin Road, APN 057-090-086
Dear Steven Lay:
I am pleased to inform you that the Napa Airport Commerce Center (NACC) Minor Modification (PL24- 0016) at 920 Devlin Rd, APN 057-090-086, is approved with conditions. The Napa Airport Commerce Center (NACC) site consists of five industrial buildings of approximately 284,540 SF on a 30.28-acre site in the Napa County Airport Industrial Area Specific Plan (NCAIASP). The Building E Modification consists of the following:
a. Modifies the dock layout.
b. Reduces the number of truck docks from 7 to 6.
c. Reduce the number of parking stalls from 82 to 68.
d. Add 13 trailer stalls to the north side.
e. Increases the building size from 52,956 SF to 54,210 SF (approximately 2.4% increase) f. Changes to exterior elevations
g. Modifies the landscape plans
The goal of the changes is to increase the size of the building, develop more efficient vehicle circulation, and modernize the building facades.
In accordance with ACMC Section 19.45.030(D), approval of a minor modification must meet the following four findings.
1. The modification is in substantial conformity with the previously approved plan or permit, or if the change is substantive, that the revised project is equivalent to the original project design concept in terms of consistency with city design and development standards and policies.

PL24-0016 – Approval Letter
The proposed modification changes the site parking layout, increases the building size by 2.4%, and changes the exterior facades. The orientation and use classification of the building remains the same. The project is in substantial conformance of the original project (PL14-0022) and the previous minor modification (PL20-0016).
2. The modification will not create impacts substantially different from those of the previously approved project.
The original project consisted of a 67,547 SF building with 98 parking spaces. In July 2020, the City approved a Minor Modification (PL20-0016) to the project and reduced the building to 52956 SF and reduced the parking spaces to a total of 82. The current modification proposes a 54,210 SF building with 68 parking spaces, which still has a smaller building and less parking spaces than the original approval.
The modification will not create impacts substantially different from the approved project.
3. The granting of the modification will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or to property or residents in the vicinity.
The modification is a reduction in scale for the approved design. There are no indications of detrimental effects to people or property in the vicinity.
4. The proposed modification is consistent with the policies and exhibits contained in the general plan.
The modification is consistent with the general plan because the changes to the building size and parking spaces meet the design criteria for height, bulk, and lot coverage. The modified building size does not visually conflict with the character of the surrounding industrial business area. The updated architectural facades provide a modern look to the building, which will be consistent with the five buildings proposed in the NACC site.

Subject: Approval of the NACC Building G Minor Modification (AA2025-03/PL24-0017) at 940 Devlin Road, APN 057-090-086
Dear Steven Lay:
I am pleased to inform you that the Napa Airport Commerce Center (NACC) Minor Modification Building G (PL24-0017) at 940 Devlin Rd, APN 057-090-086, is approved with conditions. The Napa Airport Commerce Center (NACC) site consists of five industrial buildings of approximately 284,540 SF on a 30.28- acre site in the Napa County Airport Industrial Area Specific Plan (NCAIASP). The Building G Modification consists of the following:
a. Modifies the dock layout.
b. Reduces the number of truck docks from 17 to 15.
c. Reduce the number of parking stalls from 128 to 78.
d. Revises trailer stall parking layout north of the building. e. Increases the building size from 93,720 SF to 98,143 SF (approximately 4.7% increase) f. Changes to exterior elevations
g. Modifies the landscape plans
The goal of the changes is to increase the size of the building, develop more efficient vehicle circulation, and modernize the building facades.
In accordance with ACMC Section 19.45.030(D), approval of a minor modification must meet the following four findings.
1. The modification is in substantial conformity with the previously approved plan or permit, or if the change is substantive, that the revised project is equivalent to the original project design concept in terms of consistency with city design and development standards and policies.

NACC BLDG G Minor Modification February 19, 2025
PL24-0017 – Approval Letter
The proposed modification changes the site parking layout, increases the building size by 4.7%, and changes the exterior facades. The orientation and use classification of the building remains the same. The project is in substantial conformance of the original project (PL14-0022) and the previous minor modification (PL20-0017).
2. The modification will not create impacts substantially different from those of the previously approved project.
The original project consisted of a 146,959 SF building with 88 parking spaces. In July 2020, the City approved a Minor Modification (PL20-0017) to the project and decreased the building to 93,720 SF and increased the parking spaces to a total of 128. The current modification proposes a 98,143 SF building with 78 parking spaces, which is similar to the previous Minor Modification approval. This modification will not create impacts substantially different from the approved project.
3. The granting of the modification will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or to property or residents in the vicinity.
The modification is a reduction in scale from the previously approved Minor Modification design. There are no indications of detrimental effects to people or property in the vicinity.
4. The proposed modification is consistent with the policies and exhibits contained in the general plan.
The modification is consistent with the general plan because the changes to the building size and parking spaces meet the design criteria for height, bulk, and lot coverage. The modified building size does not visually conflict with the character of the surrounding industrial business area. The updated architectural facades provide a modern look to the building, which will be consistent with the five buildings proposed in the NACC site.

Subject: Approval of the NACC Buildings A and B Minor Modification (AA2025-04/PL24-0023) at 70 South Kelly Road and 90 South Kelly Road, APN 057-090-086 Dear Steven Lay:
I am pleased to inform you that the Napa Airport Commerce Center (NACC) Minor Modification (PL24- 0016) at 70 South Kelly Rd and 90 South Kelly Rd, APN 057-090-086, is approved with conditions. The Napa Airport Commerce Center (NACC) site consists of five industrial buildings of approximately 284,540 SF on a 30.28-acre site in the Napa County Airport Industrial Area Specific Plan (NCAIASP). Building A modification consists of the following:
a. Widen drive aisles around building to 30 feet.
b. Modifies parking stall configuration to get stalls closer to the primary building. c. Add one vehicle parking space for a total of 62.
d. Modifies site layout to utilize graded bio retention areas. e. Modifies exterior elevations.
f. Modifies the landscape plans
Building B Modification consists of the following:
g. Modifies the roof so that it will slope toward the south to utilize the bioretention area. h. Modifies exterior elevations.
i. Modifies the landscape plans.
The goal of the changes is to increase the size of the building, develop more efficient vehicle circulation, and modernize the building facades.
In accordance with ACMC Section 19.45.030(D), approval of a minor modification must meet the following four findings.
EXHIBIT E
146
NACC BLDGS A and B Minor Modification February 20, 2025 PL24-0023 – Approval Letter
1. The modification is in substantial conformity with the previously approved plan or permit, or if the change is substantive, that the revised project is equivalent to the original project design concept in terms of consistency with city design and development standards and policies.
The proposed modification changes the drive aisle widths, parking configuration, and site layout for bio retention areas for NACC Building A. The modification includes a change in roof slope for Building B. The size, orientation, and use classification of the buildings remains the same. The project is in substantial conformance of the original project (PL14-0022).
2. The modification will not create impacts substantially different from those of the previously approved project.
The original project consisted of Building A, a 24,397 SF building with 61 parking spaces, and Building B, a 22,668 SF building with 28 parking spaces. The current modification proposes changes to the site layout for Building A and a change in roof slope for Building B. The size and use of the buildings remain the same.
The modification will not create impacts substantially different from the approved project.
3. The granting of the modification will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or to property or residents in the vicinity.
The modification is approved design. There are no indications of detrimental effects to people or property in the vicinity.
4. The proposed modification is consistent with the policies and exhibits contained in the general plan.
The modification is consistent with the general plan because the changes to the site layout and roof design meet the design criteria for height, bulk, and lot coverage. The modified site design does not visually conflict with the character of the surrounding industrial business area. The updated architectural facades provide a modern look to the building, which will be consistent with the five buildings proposed in the NACC site.

Subject: Approval of the NACC Building D Minor Modification (AA2025-05/PL24-0024) at 910 Devlin Road, APN 057-090-086
Dear Steven Lay:
I am pleased to inform you that the Napa Airport Commerce Center (NACC) Minor Modification (PL24- 0016) at 910 Devlin Rd, APN 057-090-086, is approved with conditions. The Napa Airport Commerce Center (NACC) site consists of five industrial buildings of approximately 284,540 SF on a 30.28-acre site in the Napa County Airport Industrial Area Specific Plan (NCAIASP). The Building D Modification consists of the following:
a. Modifies the dock layout.
b. Relocation of retaining wall to the east side of easterly drive aisle. c. Added 8 trailer stalls to the north side of Building D. d. Reduced parking from 128 to 72 (whereas the Municipal Code requires 61). e. Shifted Building D to the east by approximately 10 feet to provide room for bioretention facility adjacent to Devlin Rd.
f. Changes to exterior elevations.
g. Addition of a landscaping plan.
The goal of the changes is to increase the size of the building, develop more efficient vehicle circulation, and modernize the building facades.
In accordance with ACMC Section 19.45.030(D), approval of a minor modification must meet the following four findings.
1. The modification is in substantial conformity with the previously approved plan or permit, or if the change is substantive, that the revised project is equivalent to the original project design concept in terms of consistency with city design and development standards and policies.
