TITLE
American Canyon Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Adaption Plan Grant Execution

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu+on by City of American Canyon approving the Applica+on for and/or Execu+on of Grant Funds from the Ocean Protec+on Council under the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protec+on Bond Act of 2006 (Proposi+on 84), Prop 68, Environmental License Plate Fund, Once Through Cooling, Greenhouse Gas Reduc+on Fund, and/or General Funds.

CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
Norman Woods, Assistant Public Works Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City of American Canyon is highly vulnerable to the impacts of Sea Level Rise (SLR) due to its low-lying loca+on along the Napa River and San Pablo Bay. As sea levels rise, the community faces increasing risks from +dal flooding, storm surge, groundwater rise, and saltwater intrusion. These hazards threaten residen+al neighborhoods, transporta+on corridors, wetlands, cri+cal infrastructure, and wastewater systems, with significant implica+ons for public safety, environmental health, and economic stability.

Current projec+ons indicate that sea levels in the region could rise by as much as 3.5 feet by 2100.

Without proac+ve planning and investment, these changes are expected to exacerbate flood risks and accelerate infrastructure degrada+on. Addressing these challenges requires a coordinated, longterm approach grounded in the best available science.

As adopted in 2024, the San Francisco Bay Conserva+on and Development Commission (BCDC) requires all shoreline jurisdic+ons to prepare and adopt a Regional Shoreline Adapta+on Plan (RSAP) by January 1, 2034. This mandate establishes a clear regulatory obliga+on for the City to evaluate sea level rise vulnerabilities and identify adaptation strategies.

To support jurisdic+ons in mee+ng these State-mandated requirements, California has made funding available through Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) which is overseen by the State of California Natural 34 Resources Agency's Ocean Protec+on Council (OPC). The City successfully applied for and was awarded $383,070 in SB 1 grant funding to conduct a comprehensive sea level rise vulnerability assessment and develop a science-based adapta+on plan. This funding provides cri+cal financial assistance to advance work that the City is required to complete, which would otherwise place pressure on local resources.

The proposed work plan with OPC, will assess exposure, sensi+vity, and adap+ve capacity across key assets and systems. It will also iden+fy priori+zed strategies to reduce risk and enhance resilience.

The objec+ve is to provide the City with a scien+fically sound, community-informed, and regionally aligned SLR Adapta+on Plan. This plan will reduce long-term flood risk, protect cri+cal infrastructure and ecosystems, and promote equitable climate resilience. This ini+a+ve is intended to align with Senate Bill 272, build upon the City’s 2023 Climate Action Plan, and leverage regional partnerships.

Lastly, this project will ensure the City is on a clear and defensible path toward compliance with BCDC’s RSAP requirements, posi+oning American Canyon to meet the 2034 deadline while advancing a regionally coordinated approach to shoreline resilience.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Environmental Sustainability: "Demonstrate leadership in environmental sustainability."

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City budget with this ac+on. However, the awarded grant funding in the amount of $383,070.00 has been included in the proposed Fiscal Year 26/27 Opera+ons Budget and will be reimbursed upon submitting eligible expenditures to the grant funding agency.

Grantee Name: City of American Canyon
Project Title: American Canyon Sea Level Rise Adaption Plan Agreement Number:

Term of Agreement: Upon Approval through 08/30/2028
Project Summary:

The City of American Canyon faces significant sea level rise (SLR) risks due to its lowlying location along the Napa River and San Pablo Bay. The community is increasingly vulnerable to tidal flooding, storm surge, groundwater rise, and saltwater intrusion— threatening homes, roads, wetlands, critical infrastructure, and wastewater systems.

With up to 3.5 feet of SLR projected by 2100, urgent action is needed to protect residents, ecosystems, and the local economy.

American Canyon is requesting SB 1 funding to conduct a comprehensive SLR vulnerability assessment and develop a science-based adaptation plan aligned with Senate Bill 272 (Laird, 2023). This effort builds on the City’s 2023 Climate Action Plan and leverages existing regional partnerships. It is intentionally designed to align with the Bay Conservation and Development Commission’s (BCDC) Regional Shoreline Adaptation Planning (RSAP) Framework.

Following RSAP guidelines, the project will (1) engage frontline communities in codeveloping solutions; (2) coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions and regional agencies; (3) apply the State of California’s 2024 SLR Guidance; (4) prioritize naturebased and hybrid infrastructure solutions; and (5) develop phased adaptation strategies with clear timelines, thresholds, and triggers to ensure long-term coastal resilience.

This project addresses the Ocean Protection Council (OPC) Strategic Plan Objective

1.1: Protect communities and ecosystems from the impacts of sea level rise, coastal storms, erosion, and flooding.

Objective:
38 Agreement Number
City of American Canyon
American Canyon Sea Level Rise Adaption Plan
CNRA OPC WP 001 Page 2 of 15
The objective of this project is to equip the City of American Canyon with a scientifically robust, community-informed, and regionally aligned Sea Level Rise (SLR) Adaptation Plan that reduces long-term flood risk, protects critical infrastructure and ecosystems, and advances equitable climate resilience. Success will be achieved through the completion and adoption of a comprehensive SLR Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan that identifies priority risks from tidal flooding, storm surge, groundwater rise, and saltwater intrusion under multiple future scenarios, including up to 3.5 feet of SLR. The project will produce GIS-based risk analyses and a suite of prioritized adaptation strategies, including nature-based, hybrid, and policy-based approaches, evaluated for feasibility, cost-effectiveness, environmental benefits, and equity outcomes.

The resulting plan will establish clear implementation pathways with phased strategies, timelines, and decision triggers to support capital improvement planning, land use updates, and future funding applications, while ensuring compliance with SB 272.

Success will also be defined by meaningful engagement of disadvantaged communities and Tribal partners, ensuring that adaptation strategies reflect local priorities and reduce disproportionate risks. By aligning with the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission Regional Shoreline Adaptation Planning framework, the project will strengthen regional coordination and position American Canyon to proactively address SLR, reduce future economic losses, and protect vulnerable populations and critical assets.

Project Tasks and Deliverables:

Work Plan Overview
This project will develop a Sea Level Rise (SLR) Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan for shoreline areas within the City of American Canyon’s jurisdiction.

The City will lead the project, with a consultant team supporting technical analysis, engagement, and deliverables. Work will align with RSAP Guidelines and the State of California Sea Level Rise Guidance: 2024 Science and Policy Update, while coordinating closely with Napa County through shared processes such as a regional Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).

Task 1: Project Management (Co-led with City and Consultant) Project management tasks will be led by the City’s Assistant Public Works Director; this task focuses on overall project management and coordination between the City of American Canyon and the Consultant.

It includes establishing and facilitating the Project Team, managing contracts, coordinating a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) with Napa County, and preparing the foundational Element A for the 39 Agreement Number

adaptation plan. Regular meetings, reporting, and documentation will ensure alignment, oversight, and accountability throughout the project.

Subtask 1.1 Establish and Facilitate Project Team:The City will convene an interdepartmental Project Team (planning, public works, climate resilience) to oversee project direction. Meetings will occur: monthly (internal team), Biweekly (with consultant), semi-annually (with BCDC, see Task 6). The Consultant will facilitate meetings and support documentation and coordination.

Subtask 1.2 Quarterly Reporting to OPC:The City will submit quarterly reports and invoices to the Ocean Protection Council, covering progress on:

Project Schedule, Milestones and deliverables, Budget and expenditures.

Subtask 1.3 Contract with Consultant Team:The City will issue an RFP and contract a Consultant Team with experience in SLR adaptation, community engagement, and equity analysis, and RSAP compliance. The Consultant will lead technical tasks and outreach efforts, with City support.

Subtask 1.4 Establish and Facilitate a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC):The City will establish a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), to meet bimonthly, to provide technical expertise, review draft deliverables, and coordinate cross-jurisdictionally. Meetings will include both joint discussions and jurisdiction-specific agenda items. Shared technical topics will be addressed collectively, while later agenda items will focus on American Canyon or Napa County issues. The City and County of Napa will be involved in this TAC and will leverage it for their SB 1 planning efforts. Potential Members will include: Agencies (e.g., RWQCB, Caltrans); landowners; utilities and infrastructure agencies; regional stakeholders and adjacent jurisdictions; environmental and technical experts. The TAC will also include CBOs, who will receive stipends for their contributions for reviewing proposal materials. The CBOs will represent the frontline communities they serve. Where the American Canyon and Napa County projects reach comparable milestones, such as vulnerability assessments or draft adaptation strategies, joint review sessions will be held so TAC members can review shared methodologies and findings in a single meeting.

Jurisdiction-specific differences will be clearly identified during discussion.

Importantly, the draA Plan aligns with the City's 2040 General Plan, which serves as the primary document guiding long-term growth and development. In par0cular, the Parks and Open Space Element establishes goals, policies, and parkland standards that inform how parks, trails, and open spaces are planned and provided. This input, combined with planning for an0cipated popula0on 57 growth and changing recreation trends, helps shape the direction of the Master Plan.

The Public DraA presented today reflects the culmina0on of this work and is organized into four chapters:

CHAPTER 1: Our City and Our Parks
This chapter introduces the community context and overall vision for parks and recrea0on. It reflects community values, highlights key themes iden0fied through engagement, and establishes the foundation for the Master Plan.

CHAPTER 2: What We Have
This chapter provides an overview of exis0ng parks, facili0es, programs, and open spaces. It evaluates current conditions and identifies strengths and opportunities within the existing system.

CHAPTER 3: Where We Are Going
This chapter outlines the City’s vision for the future of parks and recrea0on, including park standards, future park needs, and planned improvements, guided by community input and the evolving needs of residents.

CHAPTER 4: How We Will Get There
This chapter iden0fies the tools and strategies needed to implement the Master Plan, including funding approaches, capital planning, priori0za0on, and implementa0on strategies to guide decision-making over time in a practical and sustainable manner.

PLAN OVERVIEW
The Public DraA was reviewed and commented on by the Open Space, Ac0ve Transporta0on, and Sustainability Commission and the Parks and Community Services Commission at a Joint Special Mee0ng held on April 1, 2026. A5achment 1 contains the updated Public DraA of the Master Plan, incorpora0ng edits and comments provided by the Commissions and members of the public during the April 1 mee0ng. A5achment 2 includes addi0onal comments and recommenda0ons that were not incorporated into the draft and are provided for Council's consideration.

NEXT STEPS
The goal is to receive City Council and public feedback on the Public DraA Parks and Recrea0on Master Plan and the additional comments in Attachment 2. This input will inform final revisions prior to bringing the Plan forward for adoption on June 16, 2026.

67 Introduction
Parks and open spaces are central to the identity and quality of life in American Canyon. They are places where our families gather, children play, neighbors connect, and residents experience the natural beauty that surrounds our community every day. From neighborhood parks and trails to open spaces and recreation programs, these shared spaces encourage healthy lifestyles, strengthen community bonds, and help define the unique sense of place that makes American Canyon a welcoming and vibrant place to call home.

This Parks and Recreation Master Plan provides a shared vision and practical framework to guide the future of parks, recreation, community services, and open space in American Canyon. As our city continues to grow and evolve, thoughtful planning will ensure that our parks and recreational opportunities remain accessible, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of our community. Guided by the City’s mission, vision, and values, this plan reflects our collective aspiration for a welcoming city where everyone belongs, a destination for outdoor recreation and natural beauty, and a community where strong neighborhoods and economic vitality enhance quality of life.

Rooted in community input and the City’s commitment to being the best place to live, work, and play, this plan identifies priorities, partnerships, and strategies to guide future investment in parks, trails, open space, community services, and recreation programs. By building on the assets we cherish today and planning for tomorrow’s needs, American Canyon’s parks system will continue to inspire connection, support sustainability, and enrich the lives of residents for generations to come. “I love … being outside, and connecting with the local
environment”

City’s mission to deliver responsive services that
enhance quality of life and support a healthy,
safe, and sustainable community. They provide a
foundation for planning, investment, and decisionmaking to ensure the parks and recreation system continues to serve residents today and into the
future.

The guiding principles emphasize creating parks
and recreation opportunities that are inclusive,
accessible, and welcoming to people of all ages,
abilities, and backgrounds. Parks and recreation
programs should remain relevant and responsive
to the changing needs and interests of the
community while promoting active and healthy
lifestyles. As American Canyon grows, the parks
system should continue to strengthen community
connections, foster a sense of belonging, and
reflect the diversity and identity of the community.

Environmental stewardship is also a key
component of the City’s parks and recreation
system. Parks, trails, and open spaces should
protect and enhance the natural landscapes
that define American Canyon while supporting
sustainability, conservation, and long-term
resilience. Through thoughtful planning and
responsible land stewardship, these spaces will
continue to connect residents and visitors with
nature and support the community’s role as a
destination for outdoor recreation and natural
beauty.

Together, these guiding principles help ensure
that parks, recreation facilities, programs,
and open spaces are thoughtfully planned,
equitably accessible, and responsibly managed—
strengthening neighborhoods, supporting
community well-being, and enhancing the quality
of life for residents of American Canyon for
generations to come.

Guiding Documents
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan is not a
stand-alone document, but an integrated planning
framework that aligns with and supports the City’s
2040 General Plan. The Parks Master Plan does
not supersede the General Plan, it complements
it by translating broader community goals into a
focused strategy for parks, recreation, and open
space. The plan documents the City’s existing parks
and recreation system, identifies future needs
and opportunities, and outlines a path forward
to guide thoughtful investment, planning, and
stewardship of these community assets.

Where We Are Going
American Canyon is a growing community, and
with that growth comes evolving needs and
opportunities for parks, recreation, and open
space. As the community continues to develop,
the demand for diverse recreational experiences,
accessible parks, and community programs will
continue to expand. Planning for the future means
anticipating these changes and ensuring that
the City’s parks and recreation system evolves
alongside the community it serves.

In recent years, the City has focused on
maintaining and improving the parks and
recreation facilities we already have—protecting
the investments that residents value and rely
on every day. While stewardship of these assets
remains essential, this Parks and Recreation
Master Plan also looks ahead to identify future
needs, opportunities, and priorities.

American Canyon is home to a diverse and multigenerational community with a wide range of interests and recreation preferences. This plan
recognizes that no single type of park or program
can meet every need. Instead, the City strives to
create a balanced system of parks, trails, programs,
and open spaces that support active lifestyles,
community connection, and access to nature.

By listening to community input and planning
thoughtfully for growth, the City aims to expand
and enhance recreation opportunities that serve
residents today and into the future.

Our Needs & Priorities
Community input was essential in shaping the
Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Feedback was
gathered through questionnaires, stakeholder
interviews, and public workshops, giving residents
and community partners opportunities to share
their perspectives on parks, recreation programs,
and open spaces in American Canyon. This
engagement helped identify key community
needs and priorities, which directly informed
the recommendations and strategies outlined
in the Master Plan to guide future planning and
investment.

Parks For All of Us
Parks and open spaces in American Canyon are for
everyone. They provide welcoming places where
residents and visitors of all ages and abilities can
gather, play, connect with nature, and enjoy active
and healthy lifestyles. Together, parks, trails, and
open spaces create a connected network that
reflects the community’s character, celebrates
its natural beauty, and protects important
environmental resources. Through thoughtful
planning and stewardship, the City will continue
to enhance these spaces so they serve residents
today while reinforcing American Canyon as a
destination for outdoor recreation and natural
beauty.

Moving Forward Together
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan provides a roadmap for the future of parks, recreation programs, and open spaces in American Canyon. Guided by community input, the City’s mission, and the principles outlined in this plan, the recommendations that follow identify opportunities to enhance existing parks, expand recreation offerings, and plan for future facilities and open spaces.

American Canyon’s parks and recreation system plays an important role in celebrating the community’s diverse cultures, strengthening neighborhood connections, and fostering a welcoming place where everyone belongs. Parks and community spaces bring people together, create opportunities for shared experiences, and enhance the overall quality of life for residents of all ages and backgrounds.

Implementation of this plan will occur over time and will require continued collaboration between the City, community partners, and residents. Through thoughtful investment, stewardship, and community engagement, American Canyon will continue to provide parks and recreation opportunities that reflect the values of its residents while reinforcing the community as a place people are proud to call home.

Together, these efforts will help ensure that American Canyon remains the best place to live, work, and play—today and for generations to come.

CHAPTER 1:

Our City and Our Parks
The City of American Canyon’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan is a practical and inspirational framework for meeting the City’s changing parks and recreational needs and interests. A sustainable, flexible, and innovative system requires investment and commitment now and in the years ahead.

The Parks and Recreation Master Plan identifies principles, actions, and partnerships for planning parks, recreational facilities, and programs that reflect the vision of a world-class Citywide network of recreational experiences to engage, inspire, and connect with everyone.

1.1 Recreation for All
The natural beauty of American Canyon makes outdoor recreation an integral part of community life.

Parks, trails, and open spaces provide opportunities for residents to connect with nature, stay active, and spend time together. This Parks and Recreation Master Plan is guided by the goal of ensuring that these spaces and programs are welcoming and accessible to everyone in the community.

American Canyon is proud to be a diverse and inclusive city where people of all ages, abilities, cultures, and backgrounds feel they belong. Parks and recreation play an important role in strengthening community connections, celebrating cultural identity, and enhancing the quality of life for residents.

Through thoughtful planning, inclusive design, and continued community engagement, the City strives to ensure that all residents have access to meaningful recreation opportunities and safe, welcoming places to gather and play.

Partnerships with schools, community organizations, and local groups help bring residents together through programs, events, and celebrations that reflect the community’s diversity. At the same time, the City remains committed to responsible stewardship of its parks, natural spaces, and recreation facilities so they continue to serve current and future generations.

By investing in parks, expanding recreation opportunities, and listening to the voices of the community, American Canyon will continue to build a parks system that reflects its values, celebrates its people, and reinforces the community as the best place to live, work, and play.

1.2 Guiding Principles
The Guiding Principals for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan establish a shared vision for how parks, programs, and open spaces will serve the American Canyon community. Rooted in the City’s mission and informed by community input, these principals emphasize inclusion, accessibility, responsiveness, and environmental stewardship. Together, they provide a foundation for decision-making and investment, ensuring that the parks system reflects community values, supports well-being, and evolves to meet the needs of current and future residents.

Inclusive, Accessible, and Welcoming Spaces
Create parks, programs, and recreational opportunities that serve residents of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Prioritize accessibility, safety, comfort, and highquality amenities so everyone in the community can gather, play, and connect in spaces designed for multi-generational use.

Responsive and Relevant Recreation Opportunities
Provide recreational programs, facilities, and services that reflect the evolving needs and interests of the community. Through ongoing community engagement and thoughtful planning, ensuring parks and recreational opportunities remain meaningful, accessible, and enriching for residents today and into the future.

A Destination for Outdoor Recreation and Natural Beauty Strengthen American Canyon’s identity as a destination for outdoor recreation and natural beauty. Expand and enhance parks, trails, and open spaces, and recreational experiences that invite residents and visitors to explore the City’s scenic landscapes while supporting active and health lifestyles.

Stewardship and Environmental Sustainability
Protect and enhance the natural landscape that define American Canyon.

Through responsible land stewardship, conservation, and thoughtful, resilient design, parks and open spaces will support environmental sustainability while connecting people with nature and preserving nature resources for future generations.

Celebrating Community Identity and Cultural Diversity
Reflect the character of the community through parks, spaces, and programs that celebrate American Canyon’s diverse cultures, traditions, and shared stories. Foster spaces and experiences that promote belonging, connection, and community pride.

1.3 A Livable City
A great parks system makes a great city. Long before American Canyon was incorporated in 1992, the community was served as a Water District. Since incorporation, the City has grown significantly, with its population more than tripling over the past three decades. Shifts in lifestyles, demographics, technology, and development patterns have fundamentally reshaped recreation. More broadly, these changes have transformed the way the City plans and prepares for future growth and development.

The City’s 2040 General Plan provides the long-range framework for managing this growth, guiding land use, housing, transportation, economic development, and community amenities. As American Canyon continues to evolve, the General Plan identifies where future development will occur and how community infrastructure—including parks, recreation facilities, and open spaces—should grow alongside it to support a healthy, livable, and connected community. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan is an integral component of this broader planning framework. Rather than functioning as a standalone document, it supports and implements the goals of the General Plan by identifying how parks, trails, recreation programs, and open spaces will meet the needs of the community as it grows.

Parks and open spaces play an essential role in creating a vibrant and livable city. They provide places for residents to gather, stay active, and connect with nature, while strengthening neighborhood identity and community pride. Through thoughtful planning and stewardship, the Parks and Recreation Master Plan helps ensure that American Canyon’s parks system evolves alongside the community and continues to enhance quality of life for residents today and into the future.

1.4 A Connected City
Parks and recreation planning in American Canyon must recognize the remarkable natural beauty and history of the city and surrounding region. With its landscape of agricultural lands, canyons, valleys, watersheds, and the Napa River, American Canyon is one of the most physically striking communities in the county and part of one of the most biologically diverse landscapes in the region. These natural features provide opportunities to connect people with the outdoors while supporting a wide range of recreational experiences such as hiking, walking, bicycling, bird watching, kayaking, taking in stunning views, and volunteering at community workdays.

Parks, trails, and open spaces play an important role in connecting neighborhoods, natural areas, and regional destinations. In alignment with the City’s 2040 General Plan, expanding a network of parks, trails, and pathways supports a more connected community by providing safe and enjoyable ways to move throughout the city. Walking, bicycling, and other forms of active transportation allow residents and visitors to travel between neighborhoods, parks, schools, and commercial areas while experiencing the natural beauty that defines American Canyon. Strengthening these connections encourages healthy lifestyles, improves mobility, and supports a more accessible and livable community.

Natural land stewardship and sustainability focus on conserving and preserving open space lands through science-based management practices that protect habitats and maintain ecological health.

These efforts ensure that natural areas are responsibly managed for both environmental conservation and community benefit. To foster a deeper appreciation for the natural environment and inspire long-term stewardship of these landscapes, the City promotes outdoor education and recreational opportunities.

CHAPTER 2:

What We Have
Understanding the current parks and recreation system is an important first step in planning for the future. Before identifying new opportunities or improvements, it is essential to recognize the parks, facilities, programs, and partnerships that already serve our American Canyon community.

The City of American Canyon has developed a network of parks, open spaces, trails, and recreation facilities that support a wide range of activities and experiences. These resources provide places for residents to gather, stay active, connect with nature, and participate in community programs and events.

In addition to physical spaces, the City’s recreation programs, partnerships, and community services play an important role in supporting quality of life for residents of all ages.

This chapter provides an overview of the parks, open spaces, trails, facilities, and recreation services that make up the City’s current system. Together, these assets represent the foundation of American Canyon’s parks and recreation network and help illustrate where the community is today as the City plans for the future.

2 2.1 Programs for All
The City of American Canyon offers a wide range of programs, activities, and events that support the health, well-being, and quality of life of the community. Recreation programs help residents stay active, build social connections, develop new skills, and engage with their community. Programming is delivered through a combination of City-led activities, contracted instructors, and partnerships with local organizations and service providers. Together, these offerings bring parks and facilities to life and provide recreation opportunities for residents of all ages.

Aquatics programming at the Phillip West Aquatic Center includes swim lessons, lap swim, recreation swim, aquatic fitness classes, lifeguard training, and special events such as water carnivals. The facility also supports community use through swim team rentals and pool parties. Youth programs include sports clinics, camps, and recreational activities that promote physical activity, skill development, and social interaction. Seasonal camps, including sports, science, and the Wonders of the Wetlands outdoor camp, provide structured activities and childcare options for families throughout the summer. The City also offers a variety of enrichment programs, including dance, art, chess, cooking, and other creative activities for toddlers, youth, and families. Adult recreation opportunities include sports leagues, open gym activities, and fitness classes that support active lifestyles.

2-3
In addition to traditional programming, the City
provides opportunities for residents to connect
with nature and give back to the community. Open
space programs such as guided hikes and the
American Canyon Trail (ACT) program encourage
exploration and environmental awareness.

Volunteer stewardship projects and community
workdays offer hands-on opportunities to care for
parks, trails, and wetlands, while the community
garden provides space for residents to grow food
and connect with neighbors. The Adult Activity
Center serves as a dedicated gathering place
for older adults and active seniors. The center
offers programs that support healthy aging, social
connection, and lifelong learning, including fitness
classes, arts activities, educational workshops, and
social gatherings.

The City also hosts a variety of community events
throughout the year that activate parks and
public spaces and bring residents together. These
include seasonal celebrations such as the Magic
of the Season Tree Lighting and Fourth of July
Celebration, as well as military and memorial
ceremonies honoring service members and
veterans. Unique outdoor events, such as S’mores
and Meteors, provide opportunities to experience
the City’s open spaces in new ways. The City also
supports community-led events, contributing to
a vibrant calendar of activities that enrich the
community’s social and cultural life.

Through these programs and events, the City
provides essential services that promote healthy
lifestyles, strengthen community connections,
encourage environmental stewardship, and
enhance the overall livability of American Canyon.

2.2 Partnerships
Partner organizations are essential collaborators
in the delivery of parks and recreation services in
American Canyon. The City works with numerous
nonprofit organizations, youth sports leagues,
cultural groups, and educational institutions to
expand programming opportunities, activate
facilities, and strengthen community connections.

Many of these organizations provide direct
recreational programming to residents and rely
on City parks and facilities to conduct practices,
events, and community activities.

Through these partnerships, the City is able
to leverage volunteer leadership, specialized
expertise, and strong community networks to
enhance service delivery beyond what municipal
resources alone can provide. Recognizing that
the City cannot be all things to all people, these
collaborations are intentionally structured to
complement, not duplicate, services, ensuring
that resources are used effectively while
broadening access to diverse programs and
opportunities.

Partner organizations play a vital role in
enriching recreational offerings, supporting
youth development, hosting cultural events, and
contributing to overall community vitality. At
the same time, parks and facilities remain public
assets owned and stewarded by the City for the
benefit of the entire community. Partnership
activities operate within adopted City policies,
facility standards, and financial guidelines
to ensure fairness, equity, and long-term
sustainability.

By aligning shared goals with clearly defined roles
and responsibilities, the City and its partners work
together to deliver high-quality, inclusive services
that support and strengthen the American Canyon
community.

2.3 Shared Use
The City of American Canyon maintains a
collaborative relationship with the Napa Valley
Unified School District (NVUSD) that supports
recreation programming and community access to
school facilities when available.

While the City does not own or operate indoor
gymnasium facilities, the Parks and Recreation
Department is able to utilize these spaces at
American Canyon Middle School and High School
for recreation programs. These facilities are
reserved through the school district’s facility
reservation system and are scheduled when
available, with the City paying nonprofit user fees
similar to other community organizations.

Community access is limited and dependent on
district scheduling and availability. As a result, the
City’s ability to offer indoor recreation programs
is often constrained by the availability of school
facilities. Despite these limitations, the City and
NVUSD maintain a positive working relationship
that helps support recreation programming for
residents.

2.4 Park Classifications
Park Lands are publicly accessible outdoor
spaces owned and operated by the City
and designated for recreation, leisure, and
community gatherings. These spaces are open
to the public and managed under established
rules and regulations to ensure they are safe,
welcoming, and well maintained for all users.

Park Lands include a variety of park types,
such as pocket parks, neighborhood parks,
and community parks, each providing different
amenities and recreational opportunities to
serve residents throughout the city.

Each classification is described in the sections
that follow. Figure 2-1 maps the location and
distribution of each park and open space asset,
while Table 2-1 lists site-specific features and
amenities — such as play structures, athletic
fields, courts, picnic areas, and walking paths—to
provide a comprehensive snapshot of the City’s
current park system. Together, these materials
establish a clear understanding of “Parks Today”
and serve as the baseline for evaluating future
needs and opportunities.

2 2.4.1 Pocket Parks
Pocket Parks are spaces that are typically less than an acre in size and located within a neighborhood for convenient access for nearby residents to gather, relax, and enjoy outdoor space close to home. While modest in size, pocket parks play an important role in bringing green space into neighborhoods, creating opportunities to connect, and ensuring access to parks within walking distance. These neighborhood spaces help strengthen community connections and contribute to the welcoming, livable character of American Canyon.

Danrose Sports Court is an outdoor half basketball court, there is also a bench at this location and a walking path, however, since the basketball court take up most of the space it is categorized as an Outdoor Sports Court.

The City has three pocket parks listed in Table 2-2.

2.4.2 Neighborhood Parks
Neighborhood Parks are spaces that typically range from approximately one (1) to six (6) acres and serve residents living in nearby neighborhoods. These parks provide accessible spaces for everyday recreation, relaxation, and community gathering within walking or biking distance of surrounding homes.

Designed to support informal recreation and neighborhood use, these parks help strengthen community connection while providing convenient access to outdoor space close to home.

While neighborhood parks in American Canyon are primarily intended to serve nearby residents with spaces for everyday recreation and relaxation, they occasionally host special community events that bring residents together. Two notable examples occur throughout the year in partnership with the American Canyon Chamber of Commerce. During the summer, Northampton Park becomes part of the Meet Me In the Streets series, where American Canyon Road is temporarily activated for a community gathering with live music, food trucks, and local businesses. And in the Winter, Shenandoah Park hosts the City’s beloved Magic of the Season holiday celebration and tree lighting. While these events are limited in scale and frequency, they demonstrate how neighborhood parks can occasionally serve as organized gathering spaces that strengthen community connection and celebrate American Canyon’s traditions and pride.

The City’s neighborhood parks are listed in Table 2-3.

2.4.3 Community Parks
Community Parks are spaces that typically range from approximately 4.5 to 40 acres and are designed to serve the entire community. These parks provide space for a wider variety of recreational amenities and gathering areas that support both everyday use and larger community activities. Because of their size and amenities, they also support larger civic gatherings and community events like our 4th of July celebration and Memorial Day ceremony – bringing our community together, fostering civic pride, supporting active lifestyles, and providing a place to connect together.

The City has five Community Parks listed in Table 2-4.

2 2.8 Open Space
Open Space consists of natural or minimally developed lands that are preserved for environmental protection, habitat conservation, watershed protection, and passive recreation. These areas may be owned or managed by the City and the City is committed to protecting and preserving these lands through thoughtful planning, responsible stewardship, and partnerships.

Open Space often includes trail networks that allow residents and visitors to access and experience the natural landscape. While certain areas may have restrictions to protect sensitive habitats and ecological resources, these properties can provide recreational opportunities like hiking, walking, bird watching, bicycling, and other passive recreational uses – with the broader goal of allowing people to experience and connect with nature while preserving the ecological integrity of these landscapes. Through this approach of carefully balancing recreation with conservation, American Canyon’s open spaces provide meaningful opportunities for outdoor recreation, environmental learning, and appreciation of the community’s natural beauty.

2 2.8.1 Newell Open Space Preserve
The Newell Open Space Preserve was donated to the City by Jack and Bernice Newell in 1999. The preserve encompasses approximately 640 acres of rolling hills and agricultural open land with yearround cattle grazing. The City owns and operates the property in partnership with the Land Trust of Napa County, which holds the conservation easement. Most of the preserve is located east of the city; however, the trailhead is within city limits, near the intersection of Newell Drive and Donaldson Way. The preserve offers opportunities for low-density, passive recreational use, allowing residents and visitors to experience the area’s natural beauty while protecting its ecological and cultural resources.

The property includes approximately five miles of multi-use trails designed for hiking, bicycling, and equestrian use. The trail system is classified as a Class II multi-use trail with moderate terrain, inviting individuals of varying skill levels to explore and enjoy the natural environment while fostering a shared appreciation for the outdoors. Visitors are expected to remain on designated trails and respect wildlife and their habitats. The trail system is maintained in its natural condition, and trail conditions may vary throughout the year depending on weather and environmental factors. Permitted recreational activities include hiking, horseback riding, bicycling, wildlife observation, nature study, environmental education, photography, kite flying, scenic painting, and meditation. These activities are designed to be compatible with the conservation objectives of the preserve, ensuring minimal impact on its ecological and cultural resources.

In recent years, the City has invested in sustainable vegetation management practices to protect the biodiversity of ecological systems and sensitive habitats. These efforts include seasonal sheep grazing conducted twice annually in the lower portion of the property, outside of the cattle pasture. In 2024, the City completed the Newell Open Space Project, which included construction of the Newell Parking Lot, improvements to the first 100 feet of the trailhead, and installation of trailhead security gates. These gates help prevent unauthorized access during park closures due to inclement weather or Red Flag Warning conditions.

Additional information about the property can be found in the Newell Open Space Management Plan available on the City’s website.

2 2.8.2 Wetlands Edge Park
Wetland Edge Park is one of the most unique natural areas connected to American Canyon. Located along the Napa River just outside the city limits, the park is jointly owned by the City of American Canyon, the Napa-Vallejo Waste Management Authority, and the State of California. From 1942 through the 1990s, a portion of the property served as a municipal landfill for Napa and Solano counties.

Following its closure, the landfill was capped and transformed into a recreational and ecological resource for the community. Between 1990 and 2000, significant restoration efforts were undertaken to reestablish tidal and seasonal wetlands, restoring valuable Baylands habitat for fish, waterfowl, shorebirds, and other wildlife species.

The City of American Canyon gained public access to this regional park in 2010. Today, the park attracts more than 280 visitors daily for passive recreational activities such as walking, running, bicycling, fishing, and birdwatching, as well as outdoor programming offered through the City and community partners.

The wetlands now feature more than 10 miles of trails managed through partnerships with the City, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Napa County Parks and Open Space District, including segments of the San Francisco Bay Trail.

In addition to its trail network, the park includes an outdoor gymnasium. In 2025, the City completed the Outdoor Education Project, which added an all-season outdoor pavilion, expanded trail connections, an interpretive garden with native plantings, and a park restroom. These amenities were thoughtfully designed to support environmental education, passive recreation, and stewardship while preserving the ecological integrity of the site. Through guided programs, interpretive features, and accessible outdoor spaces, the park provides opportunities for visitors of all ages to learn about local ecosystems, engage with the natural environment, and develop a deeper appreciation for the region’s unique wetlands. This balanced approach demonstrates that public access and recreational use can be carefully integrated with habitat protection and long-term sustainability.

CLARKE RANCH 2.0
Clarke Ranch was originally envisioned as part of a Master Plan for Wetlands Edge Park as it sits adjacent to it. Since that time, the vision for this site has organically evolved into what is now referred to as Clarke Ranch 2.0. As plans for this area progressed, several elements of the original concept shifted. An example is the relocation of the Ecology Center originally proposed for the site, which has since been moved to the City’s former Corporation Yard.

Clarke Ranch now serves as a unique community programming space. The property is home to valued community partners including 4-H and Spirit Horse, who provide youth development programs, equestrian related activities, and hands-on learning experiences for the community. These partnerships help activate the site while offering recreational and educational opportunities that are not typically found in traditional park settings.

Today, Clarke Ranch complements Wetlands Edge Park. In 2026, the City completed the Outdoor Education Project in the Wetlands Edge Park, which included the construction of an all season outdoor education pavilion, an interpretive garden, new walking trails, and a park restroom. These improvements expanded opportunities for environmental education and outdoor programming within Wetlands Edge. Since the two properties sit adjacent to each other, the Outdoor Education Project in conjunction with Clarke Ranch create a unique destination where residents can connect with nature, participate in education programs, and experience a different side of recreation right here in American Canyon.

2 2.9 Conservation Lands
Conservation lands are properties permanently protected to preserve sensitive habitats, natural resources, and ecological functions. These lands may be owned by the City or another entity and are subject to legal agreements or conservation easements that limit development, public access, and use.

Unlike the City’s open space areas, conservation lands are not intended for public access and do not include recreational amenities or trail systems within their boundaries. Instead, they serve an essential role in preserving the region’s natural landscape and supporting wildlife habitat throughout the community. While a network of trails connects neighborhoods and parks across the City, these trails run adjacent to the conservation lands but generally do not pass through them to protect sensitive environments. As part of this Master Plan, American Canyon includes approximately 168 acres of conservation lands, which are counted as part of the City’s overall park acreage. Due to their restricted use and conservation purpose, these areas are not included as individual park sites in Section 2 as they do not have public amenities specific to each location.

2 2.10 Trails
The City of American Canyon hosts a wide variety of regional trail systems that connect the city to surrounding cities and the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. From paved paths along the Napa River to ridge top hikes, the trail systems in this section provide scenic views, recreation opportunities, and adventures for all.

This trail network is supported by the City in conjunction with several regional partners. These include the Napa County Regional Park and Open Space District, the Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition, the San Francisco Bay Trail, and the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council. Refer to Figure 2-2, Existing Trails.

2.10.1 Napa Valley Vine Trail
The Napa Valley Vine Trail is spearheaded by the nonprofit Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition to construct a 47-mile walking and biking trail system connecting the entire Napa Valley from the Vallejo Ferry terminal to Calistoga. A total of 47 miles is envisioned when the trail network is complete. As of 2025, approximately 3.25 miles have been completed within American Canyon. The completed Vine Trail paths exist in two different sections of the City, and are currently not connected. There is a plan to connect the two sections of the trail through the new Watson Ranch development.

2.10.2 The Bay Trail
The San Franciso Bay Trail is a regional effort led by the San Francisco Bay Trail Coalition to develop a 500-mile network of walking and bicycling trails that will ultimately encircle the San Francisco Bay.

In American Canyon, a segment of the Bay Trail is located adjacent to Meadow Bay Drive and Wetland Edge Road, continuing north along the Napa River to the eastern side of Brazos Railroad Bridge. The Bay Trail is largely complete within the City, with only two segments currently proposed for development.

One segment would extend the Wetlands Edge Trail between Kensington Way and Kimberly Drive through the wetlands area. The second would traverse the open space behind homes along Dutch Flat Road and Severus Drive. While these segments remain unfinished, existing routes allow for continued connectivity. Users can connect to the Napa Valley Vine Trail via American Canyon Road or utilize local trail connections through Kimberly Park, the Par Course Trail, or neighborhood sidewalks to link existing Bay Trail segments.

Although the Bay Trail is well established within American Canyon, the full regional trail system remains incomplete. Future plans include extending the trail north of the Brazos Railroad Bridge.

2.10.3 Ridge Trail
The Bay Area Ridge Trail Council, a nonprofit organization encompassing representatives from public and private organizations, has sponsored planning for a 550-mile Ridge Trail that would traverse the ridgelines surrounding the San Francisco Bay. The closest Ridge Trail to American Canyon traverses Hiddenbrooke in Vallejo, north to Lynch Canyon, with a plan to connect into Skyline Wilderness Park in the City of Napa. The trail crosses into Newell Open Space while traversing the ridge between Newell Open Space and Lynch Canyon. The South Loop trail within Newell Open Space is also recognized as a connector trail for the Bay Area Ridge Trail.

Within American Canyon a planned River to Ridge Trail would connect the Bay Trail next to the Napa River to the Ridge Trail in Lynch Canyon through the Newell Open Space Preserve.

2.10.4 American Canyon Wetlands Trail
The American Canyon Wetlands trail was opened to the public in 2010. This five-mile paved trail (Class I) network showcases the Napa River, associated marshes, and beautiful views across town east to the Newell Open Space. This trail is a regional draw and hosts visitors from across the state and country. It is a hub for various recreational activities including walking, running, hiking, biking, bird watching, dog walking, fishing, photography, and many more. This trail system is one of the most beloved places in American Canyon.

2.10.5 Park Connector Trails
American Canyon parks have several connection trails that link multiple parks together and provide scenic walking or biking paths through the neighborhoods. The Par Course is a multi-use path that connects North Hampton Park, the Community Garden, Elliot Park, Linwood Park, Danrose Sports Court, and Banbury Park. There is also a collection of paths connecting Shenandoah and Silver Oak Parks together. Finally, there are some paths surrounding the La Vigne Community connecting Via Bellagio and Montecarlo parks. These park connector trails provide additional recreational opportunities for the community and allow access to multiple parks without the need for driving.

CHAPTER 3:

Where We Are Going
As American Canyon continues to grow and evolve, so too must the City’s parks, recreation programs, and open spaces. This Parks and Recreation Master Plan provides a roadmap for the future, one that builds upon the community’s strengths while preparing for the needs of tomorrow. The plan reflects shared commitment to ensuring that parks and recreation continue to enhance quality of life and support American Canyon as a welcoming and vibrant place to live, work, and play.

Community input played a critical role in shaping the direction of this plan. Through questionnaires, stakeholder conversations, and community engagement opportunities, residents shared their perspectives on parks, recreation programs, trails, and open spaces. This input helped the City better understand how residents use parks today and how the parks and recreation system can continue to evolve to meet the needs of the community into the future.

Planning for the future also means recognizing that American Canyon is a diverse and multi-generational community with a wide range of recreation interests and needs. As the City grows, the parks and recreation systems must continue to adapt by balancing the care of existing parks with opportunities to expand amenities, improve access to nature, and provide meaningful recreation experiences for residents of all ages.

Guided by community input and the City’s long-term planning efforts, this section outlines the strategic direction for how American Canyon will continue to expand, enhance, and connect parks and recreation opportunities to meet the growing needs of the community.

3.1 Planning For Future Park
Needs
Planning for parkland in American Canyon
is guided by the level of service standards
established in the City’s adopted 2040 General
Plan, the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space
Element. The General Plan establishes goals and
policies to guide provision of parks, trails, and
open space throughout the city. In particular, Goal
PR-2and Policy PR-2.1 call for providing a variety
of mini, neighborhood, community, and regional
park facilities to achieve a minimum of 5 acres of
parkland per 1,000 residents.

This standard serves as the foundation for
evaluating existing park resources, identifying
gaps in service, and planning for future parkland
as the community grows. It ensures that parkland
is not only provided in sufficient quantity, but
also distributed in a way that supports access,
connectivity, and a range of recreational
opportunities across the city.

American Canyon currently benefits from a
strong network of parks that includes pockets
parks, neighborhood parks, community parks,
community and recreation centers, and open
space resources. As the City grows towards an
estimated population of 25,000 residents by 2040,
the City will continue to assess how parkland is
distributed and where additional parks, amenities,
or improvements may be needed. Future planning
efforts will focus on maintaining this level of
service while ensuring parks remain accessible,
well-integrated, and responsive to the evolving
needs of the community.

3.1.1 Park Standard

3.1.2 Existing Park Acreage and
Future Needs
The City currently maintains:
3 Pocket Parks, totaling approximately

1.0 acre
12 Neighborhood Parks, totaling
approximately 28.28 acres.
5 Community Parks, totaling approximately

42.14 acres.
3 Community/Recreation Centers,
1 Aquatic Center, and 1 Community
Garden, totaling approximately 6.81 acres.

In addition to developed Parkland, the City also
currently maintains:
2 Open Space parks, totaling
approximately 1,177 acres.

Conservation Lands, totaling
approximately 168 acres.

American Canyon currently includes
approximately 1,423 acres of parkland, which
reflects the City’s total inventory of parks,
community and recreation centers, open spaces,
and conservations lands. However, the City’s
General Plan standard of 5 acres per 1,000
residents applies specifically to parkland and
facilities that are accessible and designed for
public use. Based on this standard, the City
currently provides 1,255 acres of qualifying
parkland – this metric includes acreage from our
pocket parks, neighborhood parks, community
parks, community and recreation centers, and
open space parks.

American Canyon
maintains a minimum of
5 acres of parkland per
1,000 residents.

The Existing Park Acreage is calculated using the total park acreage of the City’s Pocket Parks, Neighborhood Parks, Community Parks, Community Center, Aquatic Center, Community Garden, and Open Space (Newell Open Space Preserve and Wetlands Edge Park).
2 Population estimate of 21,691 based on 2024 Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) data set. 3 Future population estimate of 25,280 was taken from the American Canyon Housing 6th Cycle Housing Element.

Table 3-1: Parkland Level of Service
The difference between these two totals reflects conservation lands, which are included in the City’s overall acreage but are not counted toward the park standard. While these areas provide important environmental benefits, they are not publicly accessible and do not function as recreational spaces.

Together, both parkland and conservation lands contribute to the community in different ways – providing spaces for recreation, gathering, and programming, while also preserving natural habitats and supporting ecological health.

American Canyon meets General Plan Goal PR-2 by providing parkland across a range of park types, as summarized in Table 3-1 (Parkland Level of Service). Table 3-1 also identifies future park needs based on 2040 General Plan population projections, indicating that as the community grows, the City is expected to continue meeting its parkland standard.

3.2 Continual Parkland Acquisition
With anticipated population growth over the next two decades, acquiring additional parkland will remain an important strategy for meeting the City’s parkland standards and supporting the needs of residents and visitors. The City will pursue land acquisition when feasible, with a special focus on acquiring land where the needs are the greatest, and where the future park spaces would be used by the most people.

An additional priority for the City is to establish adequate resource levels, including funding and staffing, to deliver safe, clean and well-maintained parks for all communities across the City. This is essential to creating an equitable park system.

3.2.1 Park Expansions
Planned park expansions including parks, open spaces, trails, and athletics fields have been identified to be added to the City’s park inventory in the next five years. These are shown on the map, Figure 3-1 Future Parks and Planned Improvements and are listed in Table 3-2 Planned Park Acreage.

3.5 The Path Forward
Together, the strategies and projects identified in this chapter provide a clear direction for how the City’s park system can continue to grow and evolve alongside the community. From maintaining parkland standards and pursuing opportunities for parkland acquisition, to expanding recreation facilities, trails, and open spaces, these efforts reflect the priorities expressed by residents and community groups.

As American Canyon continues to grow, thoughtful planning will ensure that parks remain welcoming, accessible, and reflective of the community’s values. The future park improvements and expansions identified in this chapter represent an important step toward meeting the needs of a diverse and multigenerational community while continuing to enhance quality of life for residents.

CHAPTER 4:

How We Get There
Building on the recreational priorities and future park opportunities identified in Chapter 3, this section will move from planning to implementation. Achieving the City’s goals for parks, recreation, and open space will require a coordinated approach that aligns planning, funding, partnerships, and ongoing stewardship.

Delivering these improvements will depend on thoughtful investments, efficient use of resources, and continued collaboration with community partners, local organizations, and regional agencies.

Implementation will occur over time and will be guided by available funding, community priorities, and the City’s commitment to maintaining high quality parks and services.

Through a balanced approach that prioritizes both new investments and the care of existing facilities, American Canyon will continue to enhance its parks systems in a way that is responsible, sustainable, and reflective of the community it services.

4.1 Capital Improvement Program
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is the City’s primary tool for planning, funding, and delivering park and recreation projects over time. The City develops its CIP in five-year segments, identifying and prioritizing projects based on community needs, facility conditions, and long-term planning efforts. The CIP is reviewed and confirmed annually as part of the City’s budget process, allowing projects to be adjusted based on funding availability, changing priorities, and emerging needs.

In American Canyon, the CIP includes a range of projects in varying scale, including repair and replacement, improvements, and the development of new parks and facilities. These investments are essential to maintain safe, functional, and high-quality spaces while also expanding and enhancing the City’s parks and recreation system. While the Master Plan identifies long-term opportunities and larger scale priorities, the CIP plays a critical role in implementing these projects over time, supporting both the care of existing assets and the delivery of new improvements for the community.

Project recommendations are informed by a variety of sources, including City Council direction, existing plans and technical studies, state and regulatory requirements, staff recommendations, commissions and advisory groups, and input from residents and community stakeholders. Projects are typically evaluated based on their ability to support public health, safety and welfare; maintain and replace existing assets; expand existing programs and services; or introduce new recreation opportunities. CIP projects generally includes capital improvements with a value of $50,000 or greater, as well as projects that repair, replace, or significantly enhance City-owned assets. All projects go through a review and recommendation process that includes the Parks and Community Services Commission and the Open Space, Active Transportation, and Sustainability Commission, with final approval by the City Council.

How We Get There
144
4 4-2
Funding for CIP projects is limited and primarily
supported through the General Fund and
Park Impact Fees, with additional funding
opportunities including special funding sources,
grants, donations, and, in some cases, volunteer
contributions. Because resources are constrained,
projects must be carefully prioritized to ensure
that available funding is used effectively and
aligned with the City’s highest needs. Some
projects may be identified as unfunded, meaning
they have been prioritized but require funding
before they can move forward. As funding
becomes available, these projects may advance
through the CIP process.

The CIP is designed to be flexible and responsive.

As community needs evolve, new opportunities
arise, or funding becomes available, projects may
be added, adjusted, or re-prioritized. Through
this process, the City ensures that investments
in parks, recreation, and open space remain
strategic, sustainable, and focused on maintaining
and enhancing the community’s existing assets.

4.2 Funding Strategy
Implementation of this Master Plan will rely on
a combination of funding sources to support
park improvements, investments, maintenance,
and new recreation opportunities. As a growing
city, American Canyon must take a balanced
and strategic approach to funding, ensuring
that investments in parks and recreation are
thoughtfully aligned with community needs while
also considering other City priorities. The City’s
primary funding sources are discussed below.

GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is the City’s primary source of
funding and is supported by revenues such as
property tax, sales tax, and transient occupancy
(hotel) tax. These funds are allocated to a wide
range of City services, including parks and
recreation programs, staffing, operations, and
capital projects. As a shared resource, General
Fund dollars must be carefully balanced across all
City priorities.

How We Get There
145
4-3
4 PARK IMPACT FEES
Park Impact Fees are collected from new residential development and are used specifically for parkland acquisition and park improvements needed to serve a growing community. These funds help ensure that growth contributes to the expansion of park and recreation facilities.

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT FUND
The Repair and Replacement Fund is a dedicated funding source established by the City Council to support the ongoing repair, replacement, and reinvestment in existing park and facility infrastructure.

This fund focuses on maintaining the City’s current assets, ensuring that parks and facilities remain safe, functional, and well-maintained for the community. By prioritizing the care of what the City already has, this fund plays a critical role in preserving past investments and supporting the long-term sustainability of the park system.

MISCELLANEOUS FUNDING
The City also pursues additional funding through grants, donations, and community partnerships.

Grants may be available through State, Federal, or regional agencies and can support specific projects or improvements. However, grant funding is competitive, often comes with restrictions, and may not fully cover the total cost of a project.

Donations and volunteer contributions, including community-led efforts and partnerships, also play an important role in supporting park improvements and programming. While these funding sources provide valuable opportunities, they are not guaranteed and are best used to supplement, not replace, the City’s primary funding sources.

REVENUE MEASURE
While the funding sources listed above support ongoing maintenance, smaller improvements, and incremental expansion of the park system, they are generally not sufficient on their own to deliver larger civic projects. Facilities such as community centers, major recreation facilities – like athletic fields and sports complex’s, and significant park developments typically require a higher level of investment than can be supported through the General Fund, Parks Impact Fees, or the Repair and Replacement Fund alone.

To advance these types of projects, the City may explore additional funding strategies, including a voter-approved revenue measure to provide dedicated funding. Revenue measures offer an opportunity for the community to directly invest in major facilities and amenities that would be difficult to achieve through existing funding sources alone.

Any future revenue measure would be developed with clear project goals, community input, and a defined funding approach to ensure transparency, accountability, and alignment with community priorities.

4 4.3 Prioritization Framework
With a wide range of park improvements,
programs, and future opportunities identified in
this Master Plan, a clear approach is needed to
determine how and when projects move forward.

The prioritization framework provides a consistent
way to evaluate projects and guide decisionmaking over time.

This framework helps ensure that investments are
aligned with community needs, support the City’s
existing parks and facilities, and are implemented
in a thoughtful and fiscally responsible manner. It
also allows the City to remain flexible, adapting to
changing conditions, funding availability, and new
opportunities as they arise.

4.3.1 Evaluation Considerations
Projects and initiatives are evaluated using a
consistent set of considerations to ensure priorities
reflect both community needs and practical
implementation. These include:
• Community Demand and Use – how well
a project responds to community input,
participation trends, and identified needs.
• Level of Service and Facility Gaps – the
extent to which a project addresses
gaps in parkland, facilities, or recreation
opportunities.
• Condition and Asset Stewardship –
whether a project improves, reinvests in, or
preserves existing parks and facilities.
• Equity, Access, and Geographic
Distribution – how a project improves
access to parks and recreation across
the city and serves a range of ages and
abilities.
• Consistency with Adopted Policy –
alignment with the City’s 2040 General
Plan and established park standards.
• Feasibility and Phasing – consideration of
cost, site conditions, operational impacts,
and the ability to implement over time.

Together, these considerations help ensure
that priorities reflect community values while
remaining achievable and sustainable. Access,
connectivity, and functionality are also key factors
in evaluating projects, alongside overall parkland
supply.

City of American Canyon | Parks and Recreation Master Plan PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT April 29, 2026
How We Get There
147
4 4-5
Medium Priority Projects and
Initiatives
Medium Priority projects enhance the range
and quality of recreation opportunities and may
require additional planning or partnerships.

These projects often include:
• Expand or enhance recreation
programming and facilities
• Improvement to existing recreation
amenities, including enhancements to the
City’s aquatic facility to expand aquatic
offerings
• Enhancements that increase flexibility and
multi-use functionality
These projects may be implemented as funding
becomes available or as part of coordinated
development efforts.

Long-Term and Opportunity Projects
Long-Term projects reflect the community’s
long-range goals and may require significant
investment or coordination.

Examples include:
• New community-scale parks
• Major recreation or community center
facilities
• Destination or specialized amenities
These projects provide a framework for future
planning and allow the City to respond as
opportunities arise.

4.3.2 Priority Tiers
Based on these considerations, projects and
initiatives are grouped into three priority tiers.

These tiers are intended to guide decision-making
and may shift over time as funding, partnerships,
and opportunities evolve. High Priority projects
are generally the most aligned with available
funding and are the most likely to move forward
through the City’s Capital Improvement Program.

High Priority Projects and Initiatives
High Priority projects respond directly to
community needs, prioritize the care and
improvement of existing parks and facilities, and
provide broad benefit to residents. These projects
often focus on enhancing access, addressing
core facility needs, and maintaining high-use
community assets.

Key focus areas include:
• Improvements to existing parks and
facilities with high use or identified
maintenance needs
• Expansion and connection of walking and
biking trails
• Enhancements to athletic fields, lighting,
restrooms, shade, and other foundational
amenities
• Projects that respond to identified
community needs and system priorities
These projects represent the City’s near-term
focus and are well positioned for capital planning
and funding opportunities.

4.4 Operations And
Maintenance
Maintaining and caring for existing parks and
facilities is the foundation of a strong park
system in American Canyon. Community input
consistently emphasized the importance of
clean, safe, and well-maintained spaces. Ongoing
maintenance, lifecycle replacement, and
reinvestment in existing facilities are essential
to protecting past investments and ensuring
parks remain welcoming, vibrant, functional,
and reliable for the community. Prioritizing
maintenance not only extends the life of park
assets, but also supports consistent, high-quality
experiences for our residents.

Effective operations are equally important.

Parks, amenities, and programs require ongoing
resources and attention to ensure they continue
to function as intended and meet community
expectations. As new facilities and improvements
are introduced, they bring additional longterm responsibilities that must be considered.

Operational capacity will continue to be a key
factor in planning future improvements. Projects
will be evaluated not only based on community
need, but also on the City’s ability to sustain them
over time. By balancing new investments with
ongoing maintenance and operational needs, the
City can continue to provide reliable, high-quality
parks and recreation services.

This approach aligns with the City’s Capital
Improvement Program, which focuses on the
repair, replacement, and improvement of existing
assets as a key component of long-term planning.

4.5 Cost And
Implementation
Considerations
As projects move from planning to
implementation, detailed scopes and cost
estimates will be developed to reflect current
conditions and project needs. Costs associated
with construction, materials, and improvements
can change over time, and all projects will require
updated estimates during design and budgeting.

Implementation of projects identified in this
Master Plan will occur over time and will be
guided by available funding, project readiness,
and overall community priorities. Not all projects
can be completed at once, and improvements
will be phased to align with the City’s Capital
Improvement Program and budget process.

Projects identified in this Master Plan are not
considered funded unless approved through the
City’s budget and Capital Improvement Program.

This ensures that investments remain transparent,
fiscally responsible, and aligned with the City’s
broader priorities.

A variety of factors may influence the timing and
delivery of projects, including funding availability,
site conditions, permitting requirements, and
opportunities for partnerships. By maintaining
flexibility in implementation, the City can respond
to changing conditions while continuing to make
steady progress toward its parks and recreation
goals.

4.6 Implementation
Strategies
Carrying out the goals of this Master Plan
requires a thoughtful and coordinated approach
to how projects, programs, and investments
are delivered overtime. The following strategies
reflect the priorities identified by the community
and reaffirm the City’s ongoing commitment to
serving American Canyon, building on how the
City continues to support residents and respond
to their evolving and growing needs.

Grounded in the Guiding Principles outlined in
Chapter 1 of this Master Plan, these strategies
translate community values into action, expanding
opportunities for recreation and learning,
improving access, and creating vibrant, activated
spaces throughout the City. Together, they
define a clear path forward for delivering parks,
programs, and facilities that continue to serve the
community now and into the future.

PARKS & PROGRAMMING
Opportunities for everyone to play,
explore, learn, and interact.

Parks and recreation programs in American
Canyon provide opportunities for residents of
all ages and abilities to stay active, connect with
others, and engage with the natural environment.

A strong parks system is supported not only
by quality facilities, but also by meaningful
programming that reflects the interests and needs
of the community.

As the community continues to grow and evolve,
the City will focus on enhancing existing parks
and expanding recreation opportunities in ways
that are flexible and responsive. This includes
improving amenities within current parks,
activating underutilized spaces, and offering
programs that support youth, families, active
adults, and seniors. Recreation programming
plays a key role in bringing parks to life. The City
will continue to provide and expand programs
that promote health and wellness, support youth
development, and create opportunities for social
connection. Programs should be accessible,
inclusive, and reflective of the community’s
diverse interests. In addition to traditional
recreation opportunities, parks and open spaces
will continue to support environmental education
and outdoor experiences. Opportunities to
connect with nature, through trails, open space,
and educational programming, help foster
stewardship and appreciation for American
Canyon’s natural resources.

By investing in both parks and programming,
the City will continue to create spaces and
experiences that bring people together and
support a high quality of life for the entire
community.

EQUITY, ACCESS & ACTIVATION
Creating welcoming, vibrant,
accessible, and active spaces for
everyone.

The City is committed to providing parks
and recreation spaces that are welcoming,
inclusive, and accessible to everyone. This
includes designing parks that are easy to use
and comfortable for all ages and abilities, while
working to strengthen connections between
parks, trails, and neighborhoods.

Access in American Canyon is about more than
proximity; it is about how people experience
getting to and using parks every day. The City
will continue to improve safe and connected
sidewalks, trails, and bike routes that make parks
easier to reach and more enjoyable to use. These
connections also extend to open spaces, providing
opportunities for residents to explore and
experience the natural environment in a way that
is both accessible and respectful of the landscape.

An inclusive approach to parks and recreation
means continuing to provide spaces and
opportunities that reflect the needs of a diverse
and multi-generational community. This includes
expanding amenities and programs over time, and
designing park spaces that are usable, flexible,
and welcoming to all.

Activation will continue to play an important role
in bringing parks to life. Thoughtful design and the
addition of essential amenities, such as lighting,
seating, and restrooms, can encourage regular
use and create comfortable environments for
gathering and recreation. Programming, events,
and partnerships will continue to support active
and vibrant park spaces that bring the community
together.

By focusing on equity, access, and activation,
the City will continue to move toward a parks
system that is easy to reach, enjoyable to use, and
reflective of the values of the American Canyon
community.

CO-BENEFIT
Multi-purpose park spaces improve
the overall quality of life.

Parks in American Canyon serve many purposes
beyond recreation. Parks, trails, and open spaces
are planned and designed to provide multiple
community benefits, including enhancing quality
of life, supporting environmental sustainability,
and strengthening community connections.

Access to parks and natural spaces supports
physical health, mental well-being, and
opportunities for social interaction, while also
providing places for residents to gather, relax, and
connect with nature as part of everyday life. Parks
also support broader community goals; trails,
walking paths, and bike routes improve mobility
and provide alternatives to driving, while open
spaces and natural areas help protect habitat,
manage stormwater, and contribute to a healthier
environment. Through thoughtful design, parks
can meet both recreational and environmental
purposes in a way that reflects the natural
character of American Canyon.

Well-designed and actively used parks can also
strengthen neighborhoods by creating welcoming
spaces that bring people together. As parks
become more active and connected, they can
contribute to a greater sense of community,
safety, and pride.

Looking ahead, the City will continue to
explore opportunities to maximize the value
of park spaces through thoughtful design and
partnerships. By considering multiple benefits
when planning and making investments, parks
can do more for the community: supporting
recreation, sustainability, and overall community
well-being.

COMMUNITY BUILDING
Spaces that celebrate community,
culture, and connection.

In American Canyon, our parks and open spaces
are where community comes together. They are
places where people connect, celebrate, and
share experiences that reflect the diversity and
spirit of the community.

These spaces support everyday moments and
special traditions, from informal gatherings
and play to community events and cultural
celebrations. They provide opportunities for
residents to connect with one another, learn from
different perspectives, and build a strong sense of
belonging. Thoughtful design and programming
help bring these spaces to life. Parks and facilities
should be welcoming, flexible, and reflective of
the community’s culture, history, and identity.

As the City looks to the future, there is an
opportunity to create parks and recreation spaces
that are not only functional, but also destinations,
places where residents choose to gather, spend
time, and create lasting experiences within
American Canyon.

By investing in spaces that are vibrant, engaging,
and uniquely connected to the community, the
City can continue to foster pride, strengthen
connections, and ensure that residents
find meaningful recreation and community
experiences close to home.

MOBILITY AS RECREATION
A connected network that makes
getting around part of the experience.

Getting around American Canyon is more
than just travel, it is part of the recreational
experience. The City’s network of trails, sidewalks,
and bike routes connects parks, open spaces, and
neighborhoods, making it easier for residents to
stay active and enjoy the community.

Trails, multi-use paths, and bike routes create a
connected system that link people to parks and
everyday destinations. These connections provide
safe and convenient alternatives to driving, while
also encouraging walking, biking, and other active
ways of getting around. As the park network
continues to grow, there is an opportunity to
strengthen these connections and make them
more comfortable, visible, and enjoyable to use.

Thoughtful design can enhance these connections
by incorporating elements such as shade, seating,
landscaping, signage, and wayfinding. These
features help create routes that are not only
functional, but also engaging and welcoming,
encouraging people to spend more time outdoors
and move through the community in active ways.

American Canyon continues to support active
transportation through partnerships and
programs. Collaboration with local bicycle
organizations and regional partners helps expand
bicycle education and safety efforts, while
programs such as Safe Routes to School encourage
walking and biking for students and families.

Guided by the City’s commitment to active
transportation and supported by the Open
Space, Active Transportation, and Sustainability
Commission, the City will continue to enhance
a connected network that supports mobility,
recreation, and everyday use. By strengthening
these connections, getting around American
Canyon becomes an experience in itself, linking
people to parks, nature, and one another.

ARTS & CULTURE
Celebrating culture, creativity, and
community.

American Canyon is a community that celebrates
its diversity and embraces a strong sense of
belonging. Parks and recreation spaces play
an important role in bringing people together
through cultural expression, shared experiences,
and community traditions.

Through partnerships with local organizations,
artists, and community groups, the City will
continue to expand opportunities for culturally
relevant programs and events that reflect
the community’s diversity, helping connect
residents, celebrate different cultures, and create
meaningful opportunities for engagement. Public
spaces will serve as venues for cultural events,
performances, and community gatherings, from
seasonal celebrations to long-standing traditions
that help define the identity of American
Canyon and strengthen connections across the
community. Incorporating public art into park
design further reflects local character and tells
the story of the community, with art, interpretive
elements, and creative design features
highlighting culture, history, and identity while
enhancing the overall park experience.

We love everyone in American Canyon. American
Canyon is a welcoming City where everyone
belongs. Our parks and recreation spaces
will continue to reflect that value, creating
opportunities for all residents to see themselves
represented, to connect with others, and to
celebrate what makes our community truly
unique.

CONSERVATION, SUSTAINABILITY,
& RESILIENCE
Protecting natural lands while
connecting people to nature.

American Canyon is defined by its natural
landscapes, including Wetlands Edge Park, Newell
Open Space, and a network of conservation lands
that are protected for long-term preservation.

These spaces play a critical role in maintaining
the environmental health of the community
while providing opportunities for residents to
experience and connect with nature. The City
is committed to responsible land stewardship
through the protection and management of open
space, including areas with public access as well
as conservation easements that preserve sensitive
habitats. These lands support biodiversity, protect
natural resources, and ensure that important
environmental features are maintained for future
generations.

Parks and open spaces also contribute to the
overall resilience of the community. Natural
areas help manage stormwater, improve air
and water quality, reduce heat, and support
habitat for wildlife. By preserving and enhancing
these landscapes, the City strengthens its ability
to respond to environmental changes while
maintaining the natural character of American
Canyon. Sustainability efforts in American Canyon
are grounded in practical, environmentally
sensitive approaches. This includes vegetation
management strategies that reduce wildfire risk
and support ecological health, such as the use of
targeted grazing through sheep as a natural and
effective land management tool.

The City also incorporates thoughtful planning
and, where appropriate, improvements within
open space areas through capital projects that
are carefully designed to meet environmental
requirements and minimize impacts. These efforts
reflect a balanced approach—protecting sensitive
resources while enhancing access and experience
in a responsible and sustainable way.

Through continued stewardship, thoughtful
planning, and sustainable practices, the City will
continue to protect its natural resources while
providing meaningful opportunities for residents
to experience and appreciate the outdoors.

PARTNERSHIPS
A collaborative network that expands
opportunities and strengthens
community.

Strong partnerships are essential to delivering
parks, recreation programs, and community
services. With a network of more than 44
nonprofit and community-based organizations,
these partnerships play a vital role in expanding
opportunities and meeting the diverse needs of
the community.

The City cannot be all things to all people.

Instead, partnerships allow for a broader range
of programs, services, and experiences than the
City could deliver alone. These collaborations
support youth programs, sports leagues, cultural
events, and community services that reflect the
interests and needs of residents. Built on shared
goals, trust, and a commitment to service, these
relationships bring additional expertise, resources,
and community connections that strengthen the
overall parks and recreation system.

As the community continues to grow, partnerships
will remain a key strategy for meeting
increasing demand. The City will continue
to support and expand these relationships,
working collaboratively to enhance recreation
opportunities, strengthen community services,
and deliver meaningful experiences. By continuing
to invest in these partnerships, the City can
maintain a flexible and responsive system that
reflects the needs, values, and diversity of the
community.

4.7 Moving Forward Together
Together, the strategies outlined in this chapter provide a clear and practical path for how parks and recreation will continue to evolve to meet the needs of the community. From prioritizing investments and identifying funding strategies, to strengthening operations, partnerships, and programming, these efforts reflect a balanced approach to delivering high-quality parks and recreation services.

As the City moves forward, implementation will be guided by community priorities, available resources, and ongoing planning efforts. Not all projects will happen at once, but each step will contribute to building a more connected, accessible, and vibrant parks system over time.

By focusing on thoughtful planning, responsible investment, and strong partnerships, the City will continue to enhance parks, programs, and open spaces in ways that support community well-being and reflect the values of those who live here.

CC: Jason B. Holley, City Manager
FROM: Alexandra Ikeda, Deputy City Manager
RE: Public Draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan: Public/Commissioner Comment Summary and Staff Response

COMMENTOR COMMENT CONTEXT AND STAFF RESPONSE
PUBLIC Pump Track at Veterans
Memorial Park
The City’s Veterans Memorial Park Master
Plan provides a balanced distribution of
recreational amenities and environmental
preservation. The north side of the park
includes bocce ball courts, covered picnic
areas, a community space, and a Skate Park,
while the south side includes a playground,
dog park, and picnic area – all connected by
walking trails. The remaining open space is
designed as native landscape with required
setbacks for wetland areas.

Given the limited space available,
environmental clearance considerations,
and the intent to preserve native areas within
the park, staff recommends not to put a
pump track in this location.

PUBLIC AND

COMMISSION
Wildlife Corridors and Wildlife
Crossovers (AB1889)
Assembly Bill 1889 was signed into
California law in 2024 and requires cities and
counties to analyze and protect wildlife
corridors in their General Plans by January 1,
2028. We received a public comment and
multiple commissioner comments
requesting that this be included in the Parks
and Recreation Master Plan.

Staff recommends incorporating this into the
City’s General Plan as it requires mapping of
wildlife corridors, including crossing over
local roadways, and allows for measures
such as wildlife fencing, open space

preservation, and wildlife crossings. These
efforts aim to prevent habitat fragmentation
through development, protect species
connectivity, and align with California’s
“30x30 goal” to conserve 30% of California’s
land by 2030.

COMMISSION River to Ridge Trail A proposed River to Ridge Trail was identified in the 2012 Parks and Community Services
Master Plan to connect the two regional open
spaces in American Canyon: Newell Open
Space Preserve and Wetland Edge Park. The
trail would extend along Eucalyptus Drive to
Theresa Avenue, crossing at Rio Del Mar,
continue through the Adobe Lumber site,
and connect to Newell Open Space.

This alignment presents several constraints,
including a major commercial property and
railroad crossing. In addition, an existing
connection between these open spaces is
available through an established route
starting at the Bay Trail along Wetland Edge
Road to American Canyon Road, and the
Vine Trail to Newell Open Space.

Staff recommends that given the constraints
of the proposed alignment and the presence
of an existing connection, this trail be
considered as part of a broader, regional
effort, such as the Napa County Pedestrian
and Bicycle Plan, rather than the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan.

COMMISSION Park Maintenance in Plan The Parks and Recreation Master Plan is a long-range, visionary document that focuses
on the City’s park system and recreation
programs and services, including existing
amenities, community needs, and future
priorities. The Plan is organized around key
topics, grounded in a community-centered
approach, and built on community input,
with strategies to guide future park
improvements and investments.

Maintenance and operations are not
included in this Master Plan, as they are
outside the scope of a long-range planning
document, which is intended to guide
priorities, capital improvements, and future
vision rather than day-to-day maintenance

activities. Staff recommends that
maintenance and operational considerations
be addressed through a separate operational
and management plan, consistent with
existing departmental responsibilities.

COMMISSION Reference 2012 Parks and
Community Services Master
Plan, 2015 Needs Assessment
Plan, County Active
Transportation Plan
The Commission recommended referencing
the 2012 Parks and Community Services
Master Plan, the 2015 Needs Assessment,
and the County Active Transportation Plan.

These documents were reviewed and
informed the development of this Master
Plan as part of the background research and
data collection process. However, they are
not directly referenced in the document. The
General Plan is the only plan cited, as it
serves as the City’s primary guiding policy
document and supersedes other plans.

Staff recommends maintaining this
approach to ensure the Master Plan remains
clear, current, and reflective of updated
priorities, while avoiding reliance on older or
potentially outdated materials.

COMMISSION Future Park Plans in Park
Descriptions
The Commission recommended including
future park plans within the park
descriptions in Chapter 2 (What We Have)
from Chapter 3 (Where We Are Going).

Staff did not incorporate this
recommendation. While future community
priorities and needs are identified in Chapter
3, detailed planning for individual park
improvements has not yet been completed.

Maintaining a higher-level approach in
Chapter 3 allows the Plan to reflect
community input without pre-determining
specific outcomes or influencing future
design decisions, ensuring that park
improvements are developed through a more
detailed and inclusive public process when
projects are brought forward through the
Capital Improvement Program.

STAFF REPORT

BUSINESS
ITEM NUMBER: 15.

TITLE
Potential Revenue Measure: Polling Results

RECOMMENDATION
Review polling results for a potential revenue measure.

CONTACT
Jason Holley, City Manager

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
For the past several weeks, American Canyon has been asking residents for their opinions on a potential new revenue measure. The results of the survey will be presented tonight.

The well-renowned statewide polling firm of Fairbank, Maslin, Maulin, Metz & Associates (FM3 Research) conducted a sta:s:cally valid public opinion poll. FM3 compiled a random sample of voters from American Canyon's local voter file. A total of 267 voters completed the poll. This sample did not include minors or adults who are not registered to vote. The demographic and geographic characteris:cs of survey respondents were carefully monitored during the data collec:on phase to ensure the final sample profile reflects the voters in American Canyon. Consequently, not all adults or voters were invited to take the survey. The margin of sampling error was +/- 6.2% which equates to a 95% confidence level.

The polling effort tested voter support for a general sales tax measure, including both a one-percent (1.0%) and one-half percent (0.5%) op:ons. Tax increases require voter approval, so FM3 tested the following potential ballot language:

American Canyon Public Safety, Parks, City Services Measure. Shall an ordinance funding City of American Canyon’s general services, such as maintaining 911 response; preventing crime; adding well-trained police officers; keeping public areas/parks safe/clean; protecting wetlands, natural areas; keeping trash out of local creeks; maintaining parks, trails, youth/adult recreation, senior programs, among others; by establishing a 1% sales tax, providing approximately $3,700,000 annually until ended by voters, requiring audits, spending disclosure, funds locally controlled, be adopted?
159
In addi:on to tes:ng the poten:al ballot measure language itself, the pollsters dug deeper by asking respondents to rate their opinion on the importance of a variety of governmental services - including maintaining and/or expanding public safety and parks and recrea:on services and ameni:es. Lastly, the pollsters asked follow up educa:onal ques:ons and offered opposi:onal statements.

General Tax vs. Special Tax
When considering the polling results, it is important to understand the dis:nc:on between "general taxes" and "special taxes". General taxes can be used on any governmental purpose and require approval by 50% of the voters. This differs from a special tax, which can only be used for a limited purpose and requires a higher (66.7%) voter approval.

This is par:cularly important because FM3's prior research did not iden:fy any other ci:es in CA who successfully passed a special sales tax just for parks & recrea:on needs. As the data shows, while these governmental services are popular with some voters, achieving a 2/3rds approval is unheard-of, so based on their recommenda:on, a general sales tax that could be used parks and recreation (and other governmental services) was conducted.

The polling results highlight a "cold floor" of opinion (i.e. without any educa:on or campaign). The ballot language focuses on maintaining exis:ng services levels. FiIy (50%) of the respondents ini:ally indicated support by selec:ng "Definitely Yes" or "Probably Yes", while 37% indicated opposi:on by selec:ng "Probably No" or "Definitely No". The remainder leaned one way or another or were undecided.

Like most voters, support increased when respondents were presented with educa:onal informa:on and decreased when subjected to opposi:onal messages. Support for specific services also varied - with public safety ranking highest and parks and recrea:on ranking lower. Support for maintaining services was higher than expanding services or ameni:es, and support for the one-half percent tax was higher than the one-percent tax.

Next Steps
This item is intended to provide the Council with informa:on and to receive direc:on regarding poten:al next steps. The deadline for Council to place a revenue measure on the November 2026 Ballot is June 16.

Should the Council decide to proceed, then staff would return to Council on June 2 with draI ballot language. If the Council desires broader ballot language to include expansion of services levels and ameni:es, then Council should provide that input tonight. In addi:on, if Council desires to proceed with achieving the higher voter threshold for a special tax, then Council should also provide that input tonight.
160
Lastly, the public communica:on firm of Tripeppi Smith & Associates has been retained to support public outreach and educa:on services. Their efforts will assist in providing neutral, informa:onal outreach to the community in advance of poten:al voter considera:on in November 2026 Elec:on (Attachment 1).

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

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for FM3 and Tripeppi-Smith are included in the FY 25-26 Budget. The cost for the November 2026 election will be include in next year's budget.

Staff es:mates a one-percent (1%) sales tax would generate approximately $3.7M per year in new revenue. Over a 30 year :me period this revenue could service approximately $62M in new debt (given current municipal bond rates of 4.25%). A one-half percent (0.5%) sales tax could generate half of this amount - or approximately $31M.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15378(b) - The ac:on is not a "Project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "Project" under Public Resources Code Sec:ons 21065 and 21080 and in Section 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

COMMUNICATION
Level 4: Robust Communication & Engagement
Staff has conducted outreach to City commissions and local media to provide awareness of this item. The agenda, staff report, and associated materials also serve as a form of communica:on to inform the public of the City’s evaluation of a potential sales tax measure.

Should the City Council provide direc:on to proceed with a sales tax measure for this general elec:on, addi:onal outreach and educa:on efforts will be conducted in accordance with the aOached communica:ons plan. The plan provides a high-level approach and maybe refined to accommodate additional ideas, consistent with the approved budget.

24/04/2026 Event Type Committee Report
Event Title: Climate Action Committee
Event Report: The Committee discussed a number of relevant topics, relating to the RCAAP and next year's budget.

The Final Draft of the Regional Climate Action and Adaptability Plan (RCAAP) and Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) is now expected to be released in late June or July, with final adoption by the CAC by late 2026. All the jurisdictions will likely consider adoption in 2027.

The Implementation Plan will start once the final RCAAP is approved, at least at the CAC level. It will probably take another 6-9 months of work.

Some good news is that the Heat Reduction Analysis study will be completed within 2+ months after the contract is signed. This is important because we need to know how much heat reduction we can expect (which buys us time in terms of climate change impacts) from the various options. Combined with estimated costs and co-benefits, we should all be able to make better decisions regarding the most "bang for our buck."
The baseline budget keeps growing, but most of the add-ons are good. Since we discussed this with Council, the budget was increased to cover public outreach with Napa County Resource Conservation District (RCD), and the Heat Reduction Study. Our share is now $32,000 (up from an original $18,000). The optional Implementation Plan will add another $43,000, so we're still less than the original total estimate (Ascent revised its costs down significantly). We also made it clear that we intended to use in-house staff to develop our Implementation Plan, even though we expect to collaborate with everyone else throughout the process. Also, seems like Calistoga is considering a similar approach (they have a very active "Green" Committee).

Event Title: Fire District Board Meeting
Event Report: We addressed a number of significant issues at our monthly meeting.

We adopted a revised salary schedule for the Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief. Because both incumbents had foregone any COLA's for the last 3 years, their salaries were well below the standard in the area. Also, because the Assistant Fire Chief doesn't receive Overtime, but the Battalion Chiefs do (along with several other incentive pays), the Assistant Chief's salary was adjusted to ensure he is paid more than the Battalion Chiefs!
We also established a Community Facilities District (CFD) for the Giovonni project. This is exciting for two reasons: first, it will generate roughly $165,000 per year in new revenue; and second, it means Buzz Oates, the developer, is still committed to the project.
164
We also adopted the property tax sharing agreement between the County, the City and the District, regarding the "Hess/Laird" parcels. This should pave the way to annexing the land into the City and District.

We also are planning the Fifth year Juneteenth Celebration, to be done in conjunction with the June "Meet Me in the Street." Spoiler Alert: it's going to be terrific! A lot of exciting new stuff! Kiwanis Club: Helped with the monthly food distribution, and attended the general membership meeting.

Our guest speaker was Janelle Sellick with ACC Parks Foundation. She updated us on the Eco Center progress. Exciting. We had a really good turnout--and two new members.

Chamber Chat: Attended the Chamber's monthly Chamber Chat at Adapt Real Estate. Good turnout and I had the chance to update the audience on the latest happenings with the Council.

Volunteer Recognition Dinner: Attended the Volunteer Recognition Dinner, along with all of the Council and some 130 attendees. Congratulations, Leon Garcia as our Community Achievement Awardee and Heidi Zipay as our newest Gateway Award Winner.

Fran: Fran is with the Angels now. It was very sad to see her go, but I'm so happy that I, along with 8 other "Gators" were able to stop by her house and give her our "Lifetime Achievement" proclamation. Her daughter, Rebecca, received her award at the Dinner. Fran symbolized everything good about American Canyon. She leaves a hole in our community, but I look forward to all the volunteers and community advocates who will step up and fill that void.

Event Title: Chamber - Economic & Business Development Committee Meeting Event Report: I had the opportunity to attend and speak at the American Canyon Chamber of Commerce Economic & Business Development Committee. I was glad to participate and appreciate the Chamber extending the invitation. Notably, I was the first City Councilmember to attend one of these sessions, and I believe this type of engagement is both valuable and necessary.

A central theme throughout the discussion was the relationship between the City and the local business community. There was strong consensus that when our businesses succeed, the City succeeds—both in terms of community services and overall tax revenue. Several thoughtful questions and concerns were raised:

Napa Valley Ruins & Gardens Project (Town Center)
Committee members asked what the City is doing to help move the Napa Valley Ruins & Gardens project forward into a vibrant destination that meets community expectations, including the need for a more defined “downtown” and expanded business opportunities. This took the majority of the conversation.

I shared that we need to be doing more as a City to prioritize and advance this project, particularly given its significance as the largest development opportunity in Napa County. There is clear community interest, and unlocking this project has the potential to catalyze broader economic activity, create jobs, and establish a true sense of place for American Canyon.

I also want to address a broader concern that has been raised publicly. Suggesting that a project of this scale is simply about benefiting a developer’s “pocketbook” misses the bigger picture and does not reflect the kind of leadership this moment requires. Private investment, by definition, seeks a return, but when structured well, that success translates directly into community benefits such as jobs, local revenue, amenities, and long-term economic vitality.

There have also been statements that emphasize that the City “runs” the process. While the City does have the responsibility to make decisions on behalf of the community, leadership in this context is not about control alone.

It is about stewardship, accountability, and the ability to work constructively with partners to achieve outcomes that benefit residents.

Framing this as a zero-sum dynamic, where a developer’s success is somehow at odds with the community’s success, risks undermining opportunities that could significantly benefit American Canyon. Our role as a City is not to dismiss that reality, but to shape it responsibly and ensure projects deliver real value to our residents.

We can be firm in negotiations and clear in our expectations while still engaging in good faith and with respect.

That balance is essential if we want to move complex, high-impact projects like this forward.

If we’re serious about creating a true downtown and expanding opportunity in American Canyon, we need to match that vision with a collaborative, flexible, and solutions-oriented approach. 169
Green Island Area – Economic Strategy
There was discussion regarding current development patterns in the Green Island area, particularly the prevalence of tilt-up industrial buildings. Concerns were raised about the need for a more diversified economic approach, especially in light of challenges facing the wine industry.

Suggestions included exploring a broader mix of uses such as light industrial, office parks, and business campuses that could attract a wider range of employers (e.g., financial institutions or regional headquarters). I agreed this is a worthwhile consideration and committed to relaying this perspective.

Permitting, Processes, and Customer Experience
Multiple attendees expressed concerns about inconsistencies in permitting, rules, and regulatory processes.

Feedback included:

Conflicting or unclear information from City departments Multiple review cycles and delays
A general need for a more customer service–oriented approach I acknowledged these concerns and committed to sharing this feedback with staff. There is an opportunity to improve clarity, consistency, and overall user experience for businesses and nonprofits interacting with the City.

Overall, this was a productive and worthwhile discussion. The Chamber indicated they have extended invitations to the Mayor and plan to engage with the full City Council over time. Prior to my attendance, they had hosted City Manager Jason Holley and Community Development Director Brent Cooper.

I would encourage continued participation from Councilmembers in these meetings, as they provide direct and valuable insight from our business community.

Event Title: CalCities Leadership Summit
Event Report: I attended the League of California Cities Conference held in Sacramento, traveling via Amtrak with parking in Suisun City.

While the conference offered a range of sessions, I participated as a speaker on a panel titled “Rumor Has It:

Tackling Misinformation.” The session focused on how misinformation spreads rapidly—particularly during emergencies—and how local governments can effectively respond while maintaining public trust.

I joined Suisun City Mayor Alma Hernandez, with moderation by Alexis Gillam of Tripepi Smith & Associates, to discuss real-world strategies for addressing misinformation. The panel emphasized the importance of timely, transparent communication, proactively engaging residents, and maintaining credibility through consistent and empathetic messaging.

The discussion also highlighted the need for cities to be prepared with communication strategies in advance, particularly in crisis situations, and reinforced that building trust before misinformation occurs is key to effectively managing it when it does.

The session was well attended and we received many thoughtful discussion questions during the Q&A session.

Event Title: Napa Junction Magnet PTA - 5k Run and Walk Event Report: I attended the Napa Junction 5K for the first time (it's their second time doing it!). It's great community event centered around health, fitness, and bringing residents together.

I want to specifically recognize Napa Junction Magnet School’s physical education teacher, Nicholas Westfall, along with the school’s PTA, for their leadership in organizing the event. Their efforts made excellent use of the Wetlands Edge area and helped promote active, healthy lifestyles for students and families.

Event Title: Community Recognition Dinner
Event Report: I attended the City’s Community Recognition Dinner held on April 25th at the DoubleTree.

This year’s honoree was Heidi Zipay, whose recognition was well deserved. I’ve known Heidi for many years, and it was especially meaningful to see a new generation of community leaders, like Heidi, being acknowledged for their contributions.

The evening also included a moving tribute to Fran Lemos, whose recent passing has been felt deeply across the community.

Overall, the event was well attended and served as a strong reminder of the people who continue to shape and strengthen our community.

Event Title: Napa County Commission on Aging (COA) – Council Committee Report Event Report: I attended the Napa County Commission on Aging meeting held at Las Casitas Mobile Home Park in American Canyon. At my suggestion, the Commission held the meeting at this location to improve accessibility and encourage greater participation from local older adult residents, which resulted in strong community turnout.

Mayor Washington, Councilmember Lamattina, and I both presented and participated in a discussion focused on the needs of older adults in our community. The Mayor highlighted the City’s outreach efforts, including the State of the City Road Show and engagement at the Adult Activity Center, as well as ongoing public safety priorities and community resources available to residents.

Supervisor Belia Ramos also provided a county update on services and regional efforts supporting older adults. 171
Hosting the meeting locally proved effective in increasing engagement and gave us a chance to reach this community directly.

Event Title: Napa Valley Tourism Corporation - Board of Directors April Meeting Event Report: I attended the meeting of the Napa Valley Tourism Corporation Board of Directors on April 30th in Napa. The meeting focused primarily on governance updates, financial performance, and early planning for the upcoming fiscal year.

The Board reviewed and approved several governance-related items, including updates to the Memorandum of Understanding between NVTC and Visit Napa Valley, as well as amendments to the organization’s bylaws (this took months but it's finally done!). There was also continued discussion around establishing an independent administrator role to support NVTC operations. An RFP for that role will go out soon.

Financially, the organization reported that year-to-date revenues were slightly ahead of budget, driven by steady Transient Occupancy Tax (TID) performance. While there were some minor monthly fluctuations, overall tourismrelated revenues remained strong and continue to track above prior year levels. Average room rates remain high, but occupancy rates can be improved.

The Board also reviewed the draft FY27 budget. The proposed budget remains largely flat compared to the current year, at approximately $8.5 million in revenue. Of note that $8.6 million was the peak prior to COVID.

Napa Valley continues to do well when it comes to tourism. Expenses continue to be almost entirely tied to TID allocations. One notable change discussed was a reduction in reimbursement from Visit Napa Valley for administrative and legal costs, though this does not significantly impact overall operations.

In addition, Visit Napa Valley provided an update on its marketing and tourism efforts, including ongoing paid media campaigns and strategies aimed at maintaining visitation across different seasons and visitor segments.

These efforts continue to play a key role in supporting the region’s tourism economy. They are rolling out an a comprehensive ad campaign called "Live a little, or a lot." It's great creative aimed at aspirational and affluent visitors to the Valley. I was impressed with it.

Local jurisdiction reports included updates on lodging trends and Transient Occupancy Tax performance. I gave an updated on the Ruins events - five in the month of May! Three concerts and two food related events. It's happening. I also let them know that Home2Suites is opening on May 6th! Upload File or Picture (20

I’m still searching for the words to process her loss and to imagine council meetings without her. She will be dearly missed for generations to come.
