PROCLAMATION
Domestic Violence Awareness Month – October 2025
WHEREAS, NEWS, Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse Services is commemorating 44 years ofservice to survivors of domestic violence (DV) in Napa County, having opened the first confidential safe house on October 5th, 1981, and began providing safety to those escaping abuse; and WHEREAS, every year since 1989, the United States Congress has proclaimed October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), renewing our Country’s commitment to standing against domestic violence and meeting the needs of survivors; and
WHEREAS, DVAM is about raising awareness and uplifting the needs, voices and experiences ofsurvivors.
This year’s national campaign of “With Survivors, Always” emphasizes a commitment to partnering with survivors, advocating for their rights, and providing continuous support, safety, and solidarity; and WHEREAS, DV is a public health concern that impacts the well-being and success of individual community members, as well as the community as a whole. Data shows that nearly 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men in the U.S. report experiencing severe physical violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime while nearly half of U.S. adults have experienced psychological aggression such as humiliating or controlling behaviors from their partner. DV can cause severe physical and emotional distress for survivors who are more likely to become suicidal and lose economic opportunities from abuse. Children who witness abuse are likely to experience abuse themselves and are often used to control other family members which can have lifelong impacts on their mental health. Aside from the obvious physical and emotional trauma inflicted, DV contributes to over 10% of all intentional violent deaths (not including suicide) and costs America over 8 billion dollars a year; and
WHEREAS, by observing October as DVAM we show that our community is committed to supporting survivors and working toward the prevention of DV among future generations; and WHEREAS, NEWS providesservicesto over 1,700 people in Napa County, including providing direct client and shelter services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; and NOW, THEREFOR, I, Pierre Washington, on behalf of the City Council, do hereby proclaim October 2025 as “Domestic Violence Awareness Month”, and encourage all residents of American Canyon to honor domestic violence survivors and those who serve them this month and throughout the year.

PROCLAMATION
Filipino American History Month - October 2025
WHEREAS, in 2009, the United States Congress recognized October as Filipino American History Month in the United States; and
WHEREAS, Filipino Americans are the second-largest Asian American group in the nation and the thirdlargest ethnic group in California; and WHEREAS, the celebration of Filipino American History Month in October commemorates the first recorded presence of Filipinos in the continental United States, which occurred on October 18, 1587, when “Luzones Indios” came ashore from the Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de Esperanza and landed at what is now Morrow Bay, California; and
WHEREAS, through the development of these three institutions – Filipino American Studies (FAS), Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS), and Filipino American History Month (FAHM) – we recognize how Filipino Americans have initiated collective, grassroots efforts to ensure that their voices are heard, that their experiences are recognized, and their histories are told; and WHEREAS, we acknowledge these major historical markers in our community, and we encourage Filipino Americans and their allies across the country to collectively celebrate Filipino American Heritage Month with these legacies in mind; and
WHEREAS, we recognize the many ways that Filipino Americans have made significant economic contributions and have other profound positive influences on our community through their strong commitment to family, faith, education, hard work, culture, and service; and WHEREAS, in acknowledging the many legacies created by Filipino Americans across the United States, and in American Canyon, we encourage our community members to be enriched by the cultural contributions of our Filipino-American friends and neighbors for many decades to come.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Pierre Washington, on behalf of the City Council, do hereby proclaim October 2025 as Filipino American Heritage Month in the City of American Canyon.

WHEREAS, The Wall That Heals is a traveling three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., accompanied by a mobile Education Center, offering the community a chance to remember, honor, and heal; and
WHEREAS, since its debut in 1996, The Wall That Heals has visited hundreds of communities across our nation, creating a space for veterans, families, and citizens to reconnect with the names, stories, and sacrifices of those who served, while fostering education and understanding of the Vietnam War’s impact on individuals, families, and communities; and
WHEREAS, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund’s mission is to honor and preserve the memory of those who served, and to educate all generations about the sacrifices made by service members and their loved ones; and
WHEREAS, we recognize the special importance of this monument coming to American Canyon between October 16-19, 2025, which gives our community, including Vietnam Veterans, their families, and residents a space to reflect, remember, and give thanks in a meaningful way; and WHEREAS, Vietnam Veterans from American Canyon and Napa County, whether still among us or remembered, made sacrifices both abroad and at home, and their courage and service are part of our city’s heritage; and
WHEREAS, it is fitting that American Canyon welcomes The Wall That Heals not only with ceremonies but with open hearts, to honor their stories, to learn, and to heal together as a community; and WHEREAS, we invite all citizens, community organizations, schools, veteran groups, and local leaders to participate in the ceremonies, visit the exhibit, and stand together in remembrance, gratitude, and healing; and
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Pierre Washington, on behalf of the City Council, do hereby proclaim October 16- 19, 2025, as The Wall That Heals Week in American Canyon, in honor of all Vietnam Veterans, those who did not return, and those who remain missing, and in gratitude to their families, whose sacrifices and strength are woven into the story of our nation.

Commission You are Applying For: *
Any Available Commission
1. Tell us about yourself and why you want to be a Youth Commissioner: * My name is Saniya Chandy, and I am a junior at American Canyon High School. As a first-generation student, I am passionate about expanding opportunities for youth who may not always have access to networks, resources, or mentorship. Over the past several years, I have committed myself to public service through leadership roles in the American Red Cross, the ACHS California Scholarship Federation (CSF), Mentis’ Teens Connect program, and the NVUSD Student Advisory Board.
Through these experiences, I have gained skills in advocacy, collaboration, and project management. For example, I led humanitarian law education events with the Red Cross, organized American Canyon’s first student-led blood drive, and developed wellness events through Mentis that reached hundreds of students across Napa Valley. As CSF president, I created career readiness opportunities while emphasizing wellness and leadership.
I also serve on Congressman Mike Thompson’s Youth Leadership Council, where I collaborate with local leaders on education, healthcare, and civic engagement initiatives. These roles have taught me the importance of amplifying youth voices and creating programs that leave a lasting impact.
I want to serve as a Youth Commissioner because I aspire to continue my path into public service as a City Council member or school board trustee. This role would give me the opportunity to represent the voices of students in American Canyon today, while also preparing me for a future career in civic leadership. My goal is to ensure that youth perspectives help shape the city we are building for tomorrow.

My goal is to ensure that youth perspectives help shape the city we are building for tomorrow.
3. What would you like to accomplish while serving as a Youth Commissioner? * If selected, I would focus on building programs that make a real difference for students. First, I want to establish more recognition for youth who serve their community. My idea is to create an annual Youth City Award that honors outstanding student volunteers across American Canyon.
Recognizing volunteer service at the city level would encourage more students to get involved and highlight the impact youth already have on our community.
Second, I plan to advocate for stronger health and wellness initiatives. One of my goals is to work with schools to allow Red Cross blood drives to be hosted on high school campuses. Not only would this save lives, it would teach students about civic responsibility and the importance of giving back. I also want to push for mandatory mental health education for all students, whether through health classes or standalone workshops. Every student should learn how to manage stress, support peers, and access resources, because mental health is as vital as physical health.
Finally, I want to create a city-recognized volunteer program focused on healthcare and public policy. This would connect students to meaningful service opportunities, while building pathways into careers where youth voices are underrepresented.
By pursuing these goals, I hope to leave behind lasting systems that encourage service, promote health, and prepare youth to be engaged citizens. My priority is not just to lead for a year, but to create structures that continue benefiting students for years to come.

17 Commission You are Applying For: *
Open Space, Active Transportation, and Sustainability Commission
1. Tell us about yourself and why you want to be a Youth Commissioner: * I’ve lived in American Canyon my entire life and am a part of the flourishing youth community embedded within our city. As such, I am solely a product of the 16 years of life I’ve so far experienced, constructed by the influence of my environment and those around me here. For the past twenty years, my mother has been a third-grade teacher, my initial and most enduring inspiration for my passion for youth advocacy. Growing up, it became tradition to visit my mother’s classroom— neighbor to the Chevron Richmond Oil Refinery. As I matured and grew up, I began to recognize the serious environmental threat and injustice this proximity held over the communities of Richmond, including the schools that pledge to “protect” their students and nourish their development. Following this sense of awareness, reality began to hit me everywhere I went. It became easy to recognize societal inequities, especially those upon the youth. Every decision we make for our modern-day society will inevitably impact the futures of our rising generations. The Youth Commissioner position will enable me, as a young climate justice advocate, with resources, support, and the opportunity to represent the needs of the youth in a world where we often remain unheard. Action is needed more than ever in collaboration with our youth, and for our youth. We must ensure the safety and security of our futures, ensure the youth of the following years do not have to wonder if their future is jeopardized, and ensure we are taking proactive measures to fight the worsening climate emergency; proactive measures I am eager to pursue, execute, and continue advocating for.
2. Why should we select you over the other candidates? * Like other candidates, I’m a member of the rising generation, I’m a senior at American Canyon High School, and I’m passionate about making significant change in our modern world. However, this past year, in particular, my experience with climate action, youth advocacy, and student government have actively taught me crucial skills and lessons that I absorb and apply in everything I do. Following a long-time passion of mine, climate and environmental advocacy, I’ve been a usual attendee of meetings and opportunities to represent the youth when encountering city leadership across Napa County, the American Canyon OSATS Commission included. As the Co-President of Napa Schools for Climate Action, a student-led group that advocates for climate justice, I’ve taken advantage of public commenting opportunities and frequently engage with city officials to increase the action needed to address the climate emergency. Similarly, on campus at American Canyon High School, I’ve been heavily involved in Student Government as the previous Sophomore Class Vice President, Junior Class President, and current Associated Student Body Vice President. With the numerous roles and duties that come along with being in these positions, I’ve learned how to effectively represent, prioritize, and acknowledge the needs of my fellow youth community, qualities I look forward to bringing to the Open Space, Active Transportation, and Sustainability Commission. My experience in youth advocacy has taught me critical lessons on how to exceptionally represent those around me, advocate for our needs, and stay excited to continue advancing my skillsets and learning from my environment.
3. What would you like to accomplish while serving as a Youth Commissioner? * As a Youth Commissioner, I plan to be a constant reminder of the youth and the importance of our prioritization in decisions constructed and considered by the OSATS Commission to help ensure a long-term, safe and healthy climate for all. I will absorb from those around me; learning the needs of my fellow youth and representing them in government settings. One of the many things American Canyon does exceptionally well is the recognition of every voice, no matter the age, and no matter the circumstances. At the same time, it’s common for many within the rising generations to be discouraged by a lack of recognition of our voices and collaborative response from authority figures. As a Youth Commissioner, I aim to influence and empower our youth to stand up for their voices, demonstrate persistence, and advocate for initiatives they’re truly passionate about. I am heavily committed to representing the concerns of the youth and encouraging them to recognize the influence, strength, and potential their voices hold.
4. What is your vision for the future of American Canyon? * Living in American Canyon for the past sixteen years of my life, it’s been easy to recognize the beauty, connectivity, and progression of our city.
We’ve grown as a compact and unified community and have exceptionally approached our challenges together. For the future of American Canyon, I envision American Canyon as not just a city, but a sanctuary, a safe haven for all, from every background. American Canyon will continue to be where the people are prioritized and where our city government values community and effective, wide-ranging collaboration over exclusion. We have already begun towards this ideal community, and to allow it to flourish to its fullest potential, we must preserve our powerful values and continue to support one another in cultivating priorities that maintain and enhance the long-term health of our city and beyond.
5. Is there anything else you would like to us to consider when reviewing your appilcation? An additional, recent, experience that has been fueled by my passion and encouraged me to continue my youth advocacy was my recent collaboration with the American Canyon City Council. From October to June, I led my peers in asking the city council to remain strong in their previous climate commitments. Back in 2022, the city council passed a Climate Emergency Resolution, calling for immediate and sustained action to achieve net zero climate pollution by or before 2030. In 2025, with climate action “on hold” and the new American Canyon General Plan being finalized, I recognized an opportunity to advocate for proactive change and to be a reminder of their previous commitments. I became a regular at City Council meetings, commenting on the need for strong climate leadership and for American Canyon to remain true to its 2030 pledge. With ongoing communication with city leadership, including Mayor Pierre Washington, Vice Mayor Mark Joseph, and members of the community constituents, I arranged for a meeting with Vice Mayor Mark Joseph to discuss the identified issue. With perseverance, the support of my AP Environmental Science teacher, and fellow students, Vice Mayor Mark Joseph agreed to implement the specification of the 2030 deadline as an 18 19

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The Wall That Heals event provides a once-in-a-life(me opportunity for American Canyon and the broader Napa County region to honor, educate, and heal our military community through reflec(on and remembrance. From October 16-19, 2025, The City of American Canyon will host the exhibit, which features a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., along with a mobile Educa(on Center. American Canyon is the only loca(on in Northern California selected to host The Wall That Heals in 2025, making this an especially meaningful and unique opportunity for our community and the region. This event is expected to draw visitors from throughout Northern California, crea(ng both a solemn space for healing and a strong sense of community pride.
For Fiscal Year 2025/26, the City adopted an ini(al event budget of $20,000 based on early es(mates. However, as planning has progressed and detailed quotes have been received, addi(onal funds are needed to support this four-day event. This one-(me appropria(on will ensure the City can successfully host this significant community and regional event while honoring the sacrifices of Vietnam Veterans and their families.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Community and Sense of Place: "Build on the strength of our local community to develop a clear 'sense of place' and establish our unique identity."

27 Funding for the recommended ac(on will be appropriated from the General Fund Undesignated Reserve in the amount of $14,000 and transferred to the Parks and Recrea(on Community Events Division (100-70-790-43115).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

Parking Restrictions on Danrose Drive
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolutions restricting overnight parking on on Danrose Drive near City Limits.
CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer Rick Greenberg, Police Chief
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
In response to community concerns regarding overnight parking in Vallejo immediately south of City limits, staff requests this item to consider new restrictions.
The Police Chief and Public Works Director reviewed on-street parking condi5ons on Danrose Dr.
Given there are no residences fron5ng this short segment of Danrose Dr., they conclude new restric5ons (from 10:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M.) would closely aligned with community expecta5ons parking restric5ons in this area. Clarity for motorist and parking enforcement officers is important from an enforcement perspec5ve. ACMC 10.32.280 provides sufficient authority to impose these restrictions by adopting the resolution shown in Attachment 1.
If Council adopts the resolu5ons, then signs will be installed along Danrose (south of Marla Dr. to the City Limits) as shown in Attachment 2.
Concurrently, staff will conduct public outreach, no5fying users of the change. Parking restric5ons will be periodically monitored, and if adjustments are needed, staff will provide an update and recommendation to City Council accordingly.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Public Safety: "Ensure American Canyon remains a safe community."
FISCAL IMPACT
The Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget contains sufficient funds to cover the costs of new signage. 30 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.

Corporation Yard Relocation and Facility Upgrade Project Budget Increase
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu(on increasing the Project Budget for the Corpora(on Yard Reloca(on and Facility Upgrade Project (CF23-0300) from $1,780,000 to $2,015,000.
CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Background:
In 2023, City Council authorized the Corpora(on Yard Reloca(on and Facility Upgrade Project (CF23- 0300) and the City Manager to execute contracts and change orders within the project budget. This project ini(ated the reloca(on of the former Public Works Corpora(on Yard from Wetlands Edge to the site of the former Napa Junc(on Elementary School. The project also included repurposing a portion of the school campus to support Parks and Recreation programming.
The original project scope envisioned reusing exis(ng facili(es for maintenance opera(on offices, construc(ng a new maintenance shop, and adap(ng the site to accommodate unique constraints.
By late 2023, it became evident that these site constraints would require addi(onal planning and design work. To address this, a consultant was engaged to develop a refined site plan that could support relocating essential maintenance operations to a smaller footprint.
Progress to Date:
Substan(al progress has been made under the Corpora(on Yard Reloca(on project. Completed improvements include:
A new modular office building accommodating approximately 20 staff members A new maintenance shop building
A new breakroom, repurposed from an existing classroom
Installation of a fuel island
Perimeter fencing, security lighting, surveillance, and alarm systems Repurposing of two additional structures for operational use 35 Remaining Work:
Several key components remain to complete the reloca(on and fully vacate the former Corpora(on Yard site. These include:
Construction of new concrete pads for material and solid waste storage A concrete wash bay to service the City’s fleet and equipment Installa(on of covered storage over debris and material areas (as required by California stormwater pollution prevention regulations)
Development of stormwater deten(on basins (as required by California stormwater pollu(on prevention regulations)
Resurfacing of parking and drive areas
To proceed with vaca(ng the old corpora(on yard site, the concrete pads, debris storage areas, and wash bay must be constructed as a priority. Covered storage for materials and solid waste areas will need to follow the construc(on of concrete areas as well as the stormwater deten(on features and site resurfacing. However, the remaining work will be scheduled at a future date with budget authority from Council.
The es(mated total aggregate cost to complete all the remaining improvements is approximately $1.5 million. However, staff is only reques(ng a budget increase of $235,000 at this (me to complete the concrete work.
Bid Process and Contract Award Recommendation:
In accordance with California Uniform Public Construc(on Cost Accoun(ng Act (CUPCCAA) procedures, City staff solicited informal bids from contractors on the City’s CUPCCAA list for the construc(on of concrete pads and the wash bay. Two bids were received, with the lowest responsive bid submitted by Coastside Concrete and Construction, Inc. in the amount of $196,022.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended ac(on amends the Capital Improvement Program budget and appropriates $78,333 each from Water Opera(ons (Fund 510) and Wastewater Opera(ons (Fund 540) and $78,334 from Civic Facili(es Renova(on and Replacement (Fund 657) to the Corpora(on Yard Reloca(on and Facility Upgrade Project (CF23-0300) for a total authorized budget amount of $2,015,000. There are adequate funds available in all three funds.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15301 - The Project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") under the Class 1 exemp(on of exis(ng facili(es of Sec(on 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regula(ons and said exemp(on is not negated by any excep(on under Sec(on 15300.2 of said Regulations.

Community Grant Program Policy
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the updated Community Grant Program Policy.
CONTACT
Alexandra Ikeda, Deputy City Manager
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City of American Canyon has a longstanding history of suppor/ng local nonprofit organiza/ons that provide programs, services, and events enhancing the quality of life for residents. The Community Grant Program Policy (A4achment 2) was originally adopted by the City Council on March 21, 2020. As part of the Parks and Community Services (PCS) Commission's Fiscal Year 2025/26 Work Plan, the Council tasked the PCS Commission to review and update the policy.
At its August 14, 2025, mee/ng, the PCS Commission began its review of the Community Grant Program Policy. During that Discussion, several questions arose that required Council's direction.
On September 2, 2025, staff presented these questions to the Council, seeking clarification on award authority, funding amounts, residency requirements, allowable uses of funds, and grant period.
Incorpora/ng the Council's feedback, staff prepared an updated dra? policy and returned to the PCS Commission.
On September 11, 2025, the PCS Commission reviewed the revised dra? and requested several addi/onal changes, including: 1) adding a non-discrimina/on requirement to the policy; 2) making the applica/on narra/ve based, consistent with other grant programs (to be implemented outside the policy); and 3) requiring applicants to list their Board of Directors and primary contacts on the application.
Staff joins the PCS Commission in recommending the City Council approve and adopt the updated Community Grant Program Policy (Attachment 1).
Next Steps
40 Upon adop/on of the updated Community Grant Program Policy, staff will share the policy with American Canyon nonprofits and solicit applica/ons, with the goal of comple/ng the review and awarding funds at the December 16, 2025, Council Meeting.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS

COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM POLICY
PURPOSE
The Community Grant Program provides financial support to nonprofit organizations serving the American Canyon community. The program’s goals are to strengthen capacity, foster partnerships, and to support programs, services, and events that enhance quality of life in American Canyon.
Priority will be given to organizations demonstrating broad benefits, especially those that reinvest proceeds back into the community. Program funding is determined annually by the City Council; funding levels may vary from year to year and are not guaranteed.

City Council
• Oversight and authority of Community Grant Program
• Award determination
• Program direction and funding

To qualify for funding, applicants must be a nonprofit organization with a current 501(c) status based in American Canyon. Grant funds are intended to directly benefit American Canyon residents, whether delivered as a program, service, or event (collectively ‘program’ herein). The proposed program must take place within City limits.
Individuals, for-profit entities, and organizations using funds for religious or political purposes are 43 not eligible. Organizations with outstanding obligations from prior City grants or that failed to meet program requirements are also ineligible.

GRANT PERIOD
The grant period coincides with the City’s Fiscal Year (July 1-June 30). The PCS Commission will generally review applications and conduct interviews in October, with final awards determined by the City Council in December.
ALLOCATION OF GRANT FUNDS
The PCS Commission will recommend the City Council to distribute funds based on the number of applications received, demonstrated community need, overall benefit to American Canyon residents, and the extent applicants give back to the community.

Strategy ES-4: Constrain Future Development to Existing Planned Areas.
Analyze Urban Limit Line (ULL) from an environmental perspec've (Council review ULL Agreement with OSATS).
In addi'on, the Strategic Work Plan contains a variety of other Key Ini'a'ves (such as "Complete the Eco-Center Project") that also relate to sustainability.
Napa Countywide Regional Climate Action and Adaptation Plan At its September 16 mee'ng, the Council received a presenta'on from Napa County staff and their consultant on the Napa Countywide Regional Climate Ac'on and Adapta'on Plan (RCAAP).
ThereaNer, the Council directed staff to bring a related this item tonight regarding staffing op'ons to accomplish the Milestones listed above along with other related tasks.
A>ached are four (4) poten'al job classifica'ons responsive to the Council's request (A>achment 2). While none of the exis'ng job classifica'ons completely align with the Council’s interest, they all contain applicable elements. The chart below provides additional detail.
The Program Coordinator posi'on is the cheapest op'on because it is a part-'me, entry level posi'on. While a Program Coordinator “plans, organizes, coordinates, develops, implements, promotes and evaluates assigned program areas and provides lead direc'on to lower-level staff and volunteers”, they are typically assigned to the Parks and Recrea'on Department and they don’t apply for grants or have any leadership or authority to effect change. It's unclear whether this lowest level of responsibility aligns with the Council priori'es, so three other (more expensive) op'ons are included.

The Management Aide is a more flexibly job classifica'on and oNen is filled by experienced re'rees looking to work part-'me. The Sustainability Coordinator posi'on is an entry-level full-'me posi'on focused primarily on water conserva'on. The Management Analyst posi'on is also full-'me and flexibly-assigned to various program areas.
Lastly, the is no staff person assigned to Open Space, Ac've Transporta'on and Sustainability Commission. Instead, myself, Director's Ikeda, Smithies and Cooper all rotate this responsibility. Of note, the Management Analyst classifica'on is the only one of this group that could be assigned as a singular staff liaison to OSATS if that is of interest to the City Council.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Environmental Sustainability: "Demonstrate leadership in environmental sustainability."
FISCAL IMPACT
If the Council desires to move forward with a new posi'on, then an appropria'on with an iden'fied funding source is required.
Staff es'mates the cost for a part-'me Program Coordinator for the remainder of the Fiscal Year (i.e. "limited term") to be approximately $30,000. Of note, this es'mate assumes the part-'me employee would work less than 1,000 hours through the end of the fiscal year and no more the 28- hours per week to the cost of avoid paying healthcare and retirement benefits.
Although it is unusual to add posi'ons during the middle of a fiscal year, if the Council agrees the posi'on should be part-'me and limited term (ie. through the end of FY 25-26), then the Council could appropriate funds from the General Fund Undesignated Fund Balance with limited consequence because the current estimated Fund Balance is $1,881,131.
Council adop'on of the Resolu'on in A>achment 1 would provide the necessary appropria'on to for the City Manager proceed with the Program Coordinator option.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
54 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.

Event Title: FilAM Carabao Vintners Annual FilAm Recognition Event Report: I had the privilege of attending the annual Napa Vintners FilAm Recognition Event in Napa California. This Years's celebration was especially meaningful as it also services to promote Carabao, a newly opened Filipino restaurant that highlights the rich culture, hospitality, and cuisine of the Philippines. the restaurant name, Carabao, represents the strong and enduring water buffalo that is native to the Philippines, symbolizing resilience, hard work, and community spirit.
I was honored to be joined by distinguished leaders and community partners at this gathering, including Napa Mayor, Scott Sedgley and his wife Linda, Napa Supervisor, Belia Ramos, American Canyon City Councilmember David Oro and his wife, Patricia, and the consul General of the Philippines assigned to San Francisco, Neil Frank Ferrer, who attended with his delegation. The event was supported by the American Canyon FilAm, President, Jodl Cruz and his Wife Jem as well as all the dedicated members of the FilAm organization, whose continued leadership fosters unity and cultural pride across our community.
The evening provided an opportunity to celebrate the invaluable contributions of Filipino American in Napa Valley and beyond, while also show casing the way in which food, wine, culture, and fellowship bring us together. I am grateful for the warm hospitality and proud to stand alongside partners and residents in honoring the FilAm community's heritage and impact.
