BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The East American Canyon Road Guardrail Project ("Project"; TR23-0300) is located approximately 490 feet east of the intersec.on of American Canyon Road East and Via Firenze. The scope of work consisted of the removal and replacement of approximately 190 linear feet total of exis.ng temporary barrier systems comprised of concrete K-Rails and plas.c crash cushions along both the north (west-bound) and south (east-bound) road shoulders.

The City solicited compe..ve bids for the project and opened bids on November 12, 2025. Granite Rock Company was determined to be the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with a bid of $352,097. On December 2, 2025, the City Council authorized the award of the construc.on contract and authorized the Public Works Director to approve and execute contract change orders in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Project Budget (R2025-93).

The contractor has completed the contract work, including Contract Change Order (CCO) Nos. 1 through 5, to the sa.sfac.on of the Public Works Director, at a final contract cost of $393,713.46.

STAFF REPORT

CONSENT
ITEM NUMBER: 4.

TITLE
Permit Technician Services

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu(on approving Amendment 4 to Agreement 2022-A136 with the BPR Consul(ng Group to extend the contract for Permit Technician Services to the end of Fiscal Year 2026/27 and increase the total contract amount by $147,000 not to exceed $591,500.

CONTACT
Brent Cooper, AICP, Community Development Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
BPR Consul(ng Group augments our City Permit Technician with these services on a contract basis.

The contract is funded from building permit fees on an hourly basis.

Given the variability of building permit ac(vity, having a contract enables the city to expand and retract services to meet demands seamlessly. This service also provides con(nuous service when the City's Permit Technician is out of the office for approved leave (me, training, and mee(ngs. For this reason, staff recommends extending the contract for one additional fiscal year.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed $147,000 annual services cost and associated building permit revenue is included in the upcoming Fiscal Year 2026/27 budget.

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.

TITLE
Building & Safety Services Agreement

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu,on approving Amendment 1 to Agreement 2024-52 with the BPR Consul,ng Group to extend the contract for Building Official, Plan Check, and Building Inspec,onServices to the end of Fiscal Year 2026/27 and increase the total contract amount by $553,150 not to exceed $1,725,500.

CONTACT
Brent Cooper, AICP, Community Development Department

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Since 2024, BPR Consul,ng Group has provided contract Building and Safety Services that includes a part-,me Building Official, Plan Check services, and Building Inspec,on Services. This contact has provided flexible staff levels and customer service throughout stronger and weaker economic conditions.

Because BPR maintains a deep bench of qualified professionals across all areas of building exper,se, the firm can readily scale resources up or down as project needs evolve, ensure con,nuity of service during staff absences, and provide reliable, authorita,ve guidance when applicants’ technical consultants require additional support.

For Fiscal Year 2026/27, staff an,cipates that the BPR Building and Safety services will cost $553,150 which is offset from building plan check and inspec,on revenue. Staff an,cipates hiring a full ,me Building Official during the upcoming fiscal year. If we are successful, we would reduce the need for BPR services which would lower the amount of consultant service costs.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS

TITLE
Fire District’s Development Impact Fee and Fire Capital Facilities Fee Adjustment

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu)on approving the adjustment of the Development Impact Fee and Fire Capital Facili)es Fee for all new construc)on and new development to fund fire protec)on services by the change in the consumer price index of 3.8 percent.

CONTACT
Cliff Campbell, Acting Fire Chief

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
On January 24, 2023, at a Regular Fire Board Mee)ng, the Board adopted Resolu)on 2023-05. This resolu)on ini)ated the process of implemen)ng a fee to offset the increased demand and costs that new development places on the District. The Board resolved to collaborate with the City of American Canyon to implement this fee for proper)es within both the City and the District, and with the County of Napa for properties within both the District and the County.

Subsequently, on March 21, 2023, the City of American Canyon adopted Ordinance 2023-02. Sec)on 2, item H of this ordinance s)pulates that the Fire Capital Facili)es Fee shall automa)cally be adjusted annually on July 1, based on the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose area for the twelve-month period ending the preceding April.

In accordance with Ordinance 2023-02, it is recommended that the Development Impact Fee and Capital Facili)es Fee for all new construc)on and new developments, which is intended to fund fire protec)on services, be increased by the cost-of-living adjustment of 3.8%. This adjustment aligns with the CPI increase for the specified region.

If approved, this adjustment will result in the Impact Fee increasing from one dollar and three cents ($1.03) per square foot to one dollar and seven cents ($1.07) per square foot, represen)ng a four cent ($0.04) increase.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
24 Public Safety: "Ensure American Canyon remains a safe community."

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of applying the 3.8 percent CPI increase will modestly increase development fee revenue to assist the District in funding fire protec)on facili)es and infrastructure needed to serve new development.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed ac)on is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ac)vity may have a significant effect on the environment pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE AND FIRE CAPITAL FACILITIES FEE FOR ALL NEW

CONSTRUCTION AND NEW DEVELOPMENT TO FUND FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES BY THE CHANGE IN THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX OF 3.8 PERCENT
WHEREAS, on January 24, 2023, at a Regular Fire Board Meeting, the Board adopted Resolution 2023-05 to begin the process of implementing a fee to offset the increased service demands and costs associated with new development within the District; and WHEREAS, the Board resolved to work with the City of American Canyon to implement this fee for properties within both the City and the District, and to work with the County of Napa for properties within both the District and the County; and
WHEREAS, on March 21, 2023, the City of American Canyon adopted Ordinance 2023-02, which under Section 2, item H, stipulates that the Development Impact Fee and Fire Capital Facilities Fee shall automatically be adjusted annually on July 1, based on the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose area for the twelve-month period ending the preceding April; and
WHEREAS, the CPI for the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose area has increased by 3.8 percent for the twelve-month period ending April 2026; and
WHEREAS, it is consistent with Ordinance 2023-02 to apply this cost-of-living adjustment to the Development Impact Fee and Fire Capital Facilities Fee for all new construction and development within the District; and
WHEREAS, the recommended adjustment will result in an increase of the Development Impact Fee and Fire Capital Facilities Fee from one dollar and three cents ($1.03) per square foot to one dollar and seven cents ($1.07), representing a four-cent ($0.04) increase; and WHEREAS, this adjustment will help ensure that the District can adequately fund fire protection facilities and services needed to serve new development.; and WHEREAS, this Resolution is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.), because concerns a government funding mechanism that does not commit the City or the District to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that adopting the updated development impact fee may have a significant effect on the environment. (14 CCR §§ 15061(b)(3), 15378(b)(4).) The City or the District, as appropriate, will conduct appropriate CEQA review for individual projects funded by development impact fees in the future as required by law.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of American Canyon, State of California, hereby approves the adjustment of the Development Impact Fee and Fire Capital Facilities Fee for all new construction and new development to one dollar and seven cents ($1.07) per square foot, effective July 1, 2026, in accordance with the 3.8 percent CPI increase.

TITLE
Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution establishing the Appropriations Limit of $28,102,776 for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

CONTACT
Jemelyn Cruz, Finance Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
State law requires local agencies to set an appropria3on limit each fiscal year. Only certain annual budget appropria3ons from proceeds of taxes, as defined by the law and accepted statewide guidelines, are subject to the limit. The appropria3ons limit is revised annually, usually upward, by a formula that uses a combina3on of percent changes in Statewide Per Capita Income (PCI) or Nonresidential assessed valuation, if available, and City or County Population.

In November 1979, the people of California added Ar3cle XIIIB to the State Cons3tu3on, which placed limita3ons on the appropria3ons of State and local governments. The Ar3cle was implemented by State Legisla3on that defined the process to calculate the appropria3ons limit and required that ci3es adopt a resolu3on se=ng an annual appropria3ons limit. The base year was set as fiscal year 1978-1979 and the first appropria3ons limit was applied to qualifying public agencies budgets for fiscal year 1980-1981.

In June 1990, the people approved Proposi3on 111, which, among other things, amended Ar3cle XIII-B. The amendment made significant changes to how the limit was calculated, what appropria3ons were subject to the limit, and added City Council resolu3on and independent audit requirements. One of the significant changes was to allow the City to make two choices when computing the appropriations limit:
• Infla3on factor - choose between per capita income or increase in non-residen3al assessed valuation due to new construction
• Population factor – choose between City population growth and County population growth. 32 There are no penal3es under Ar3cle XIIIB for failure to adopt a limit. Compliance with the law is intended to be locally enforced by ci3zens. The State Government Code limits challenges in civil court to the appropriations limit calculation to a 45-day period after adoption.

If the por3on of the City Budget that is subject to the appropria3ons limit exceeds the limit, the City can carry over the excess amount one year. If, aEer the second year, the City s3ll exceeds the limit, the voters can approve a temporary override or the City would need to refund the excess amount to the people by lowering taxes or fees.

Updated Appropriations Limit
The change in the appropria3ons limit is calculated annually by staff from the informa3on provided by the State Department of Finance each May. Consistent formulas are used to ensure an accurate calculation.

Proceeds of Taxes and Appropriations Subject to Limit
AEer the annual appropria3ons limit is calculated, the appropria3ons that are subject to the limit are determined. The appropria3ons limit only applies to appropria3ons that are funded from proceeds of taxes. Proceeds of taxes are fairly well defined in the statewide guidelines; however, the method to determine which appropriations are from proceeds of taxes can be complicated.

FY 2026-27 Appropriation Limit
The Fiscal Year 2026-27 appropria3ons limit was calculated using the Statewide Per Capita Personal Income increase of 4.95% and the City popula3on increase of 0.14%. When applying these factors, the prior year limit increased by 5.10%.

City Limit
The appropria3ons limit increased $1,363,693 to $28,102,776 (Resolu3on in ALachment 1).

Appropria3ons that are subject to the limit are $22,156,203 so the City is under the appropria3on limit by $5,946,573. The detail computa3ons are presented in the Appropria3ons Spending Limit Worksheet (Attachment 2).

Public Notice
As required by State Law, detailed worksheets suppor3ng the appropria3on limit calcula3ons have been available for review by the public in the City Clerk’s Office. Also, as required, a public notice has been published for this meeting to adopt the appropriations resolution.

Chemical Purchases FY2026-27

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu(on authorizing the purchase of chemicals for the Water Enterprise in an amount not to exceed $534,000; for the Wastewater Enterprise in an amount of $38,240; and for the Recycled Water Enterprise in an amount of $100,000 for FY2026-27.

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

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City cooperates with other local agencies to obtain bulk pricing for chemicals to aid in the treatment of drinking water, wastewater and recycled water. The North Bay Agency Chemical Pool is comprised of the ci(es of American Canyon, Napa, Vallejo, Fairfield, Vacaville and others. The City has par(cipated in the Pool since 1994. Each Fiscal Year, this process ensures the City receives the best possible prices from vendors.

Sodium Hydroxide is used to adjust pH depending on source water quality. Sodium Hypochlorite is used in the disinfec(on process of finished potable and recycled water. The disinfec(on process and pH adjustments help control and mi(gate the forma(on of disinfec(on byproducts and opera(onal changes made in this regard can result in a change of consumables. Aluminum sulfate is used in water purifica(on. In water purifica(on, it causes suspended impuri(es to coagulate into larger particles and then settle to the bottom to be filtered out.

For FY2026-27, the lowest responsive and responsible bidders for the Pool are as follows:

CHEMTRADE - Aluminum Sulfate (Acid Alu, Full) at $789.54 / Dry Ton UNIVAR - Sodium Hydroxide (25%NaOH, Full) $1,028.81 / Dry Ton UNIVAR - Sodium Hypochlorite (12% NaOCl, Short) $4.35 / Dry Ton Other chemicals outside the Consor(um are Pro Pac 9890 and ACH 9800 which are advanced engineered coagulants that enhance organic removal assis(ng in reduc(on of Disinfec(on-ByProducts and improves overall plant performances. By using advanced coagulants, it reduces other 38 chemicals. Citric Acid is a weak acid made of citrus fruits, it is used in water chemistry for stabiliza(on, neutraliza(on and removes inorganic material from the membrane filters. These chemicals are obtained from USALCO and Thatcher.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Infrastructure: "Develop and maintain infrastructure resources to support sustainable growth."

FISCAL IMPACT
It is an(cipated that the cost of Chemicals will be $534,000 for the Water Enterprise; $38,240 for the Wastewater Enterprise; and $100,000 for the Recycled Water Enterprise. These amounts have been budgeted in FY2026-27.

The FY2026-27 Budget includes sufficient funds for chemical purchases as follows: Water Enterprise 510-50-560-43115, Wastewater Enterprise 540-50-570-43115 and Recycled Water Enterprise 580- 50-590-43115 to implement the recommended action.

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 Sec(on 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regula(ons. The purchase of chemicals for the City's normal opera(ons is also exempt from review as opera(on of the City's exis(ng facilities under Section 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

TITLE
Napa River Ecology Center Project Level Agreement

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu*on approving a Project Level Agreement with the American Canyon Community Parks Founda*on for the Building E Pump Sta*on Improvements Project (WW26-0200) for an amount not to exceed $425,000.

CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The future Napa River Ecology Center (Ecology Center), located at 205 Wetlands Edge, contains both ac*ve and decommissioned City sanitary sewer infrastructure. Ac*ve facili*es include the Building E Pump Sta*on and an overflow pond that is u*lized during major storm events when inflow and infiltration (I/I) can temporarily exceed downstream conveyance and treatment capacity.

Over the years, the Building E Pump Sta*on has been incrementally upgraded to improve reliability and accommodate growth within the community. However, a permanent in-ground bypass pipeline to convey excess wet-weather flows to the overflow pond was not constructed as part of previous capital improvement projects. Installa*on of the bypass pipeline represents a moderniza*on of cri*cal wastewater infrastructure and will improve the long-term func*onality of the facility while ensuring compatibility with the future public use of the site.

On March 3, 2026, the City Council approved the Building E Pump Sta*on Improvements Project as part of the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program. The original delivery approach an*cipated the City bidding and construc*ng the project prior to commencement of Ecology Center improvements. Due to compe*ng capital priori*es, project *ming and limited staff resources, the City was not able to bid the project before the s*te transfer and construc*on ac*vi*es associated with the Ecology Center began.

The Ecology Center project has now mobilized contractors and construc*on ac*vi*es throughout the site. Solici*ng separate bids and introducing a another contractor would likely create construc*on conflicts, increase coordina*on requirements, and poten*ally impact both project 45 schedules. To avoid these inefficiencies, staff recommends that the American Canyon Community and Parks Founda*on (ACCPF) deliver the bypass pipeline improvements as part of the ongoing Ecology Center project under a Project Level Agreement with the City.

This approach provides several benefits. First, it allows the work to be completed by a contractor already mobilized on-site, elimina*ng redundant mobiliza*on and staging costs. Second, it reduces the risk of construc*on conflicts associated with mul*ple contractors working within the same ac*ve project area. Third, the proposed construc*on cost submiDed by ACCPF's contractor is reasonable and consistent with staff's expecta*ons for the scope of work. However, there is an opportunity for addi*onal value engineering and u*lizing the exis*ng contractor provides the most efficient and cost effec*ve means of delivering the project while minimizing risk to both the City and the Ecology Center project. Finally, the need to construct these improvements at this *me is largely driven by the conversion of the former Corpora*on Yard into a publicly accessible community facility. Absent the Ecology Center project, the City would likely have deferred construc*on of the bypass pipeline to a future capital improvement cycle.

On September 18, 2018, the American Canyon City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishing a partnership between the City and ACCPF. The MOU contemplates the use of Project Level Agreements to define roles, responsibili*es, and funding arrangements for specific projects, programs, and community ini*a*ves. The MOU requires approval by both the City Council and the ACCPF Board of Directors for projects with a value exceeding $50,000.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Outdoors and Recrea*on: "Expand opportuni*es for use of outdoor recrea*on and an ac*ve and healthy lifestyle."

FISCAL IMPACT
On June 6, 2026, City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Capital Improvement Program which established a project budget of $450,000 for the Building E Pump Sta*on Project (WW26- 0200) with the funding from Fund 550 Wastewater Capacity Fee.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15301 - The Project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") under the Class 1 exemp*on of exis*ng facili*es of Sec*on 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regula*ons and said exemp*on is not negated by any excep*on under Sec*on 15300.2 of said Regulations.

TITLE
Expanding City Limits Northerly to South Kelly Road

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Clarifying Resolu,on Amending Resolu,on 2026-26 to Clarify Scope of the Urban Limit Line and Regional Housing Needs Allocation Agreement with Napa County.

CONTACT
Jason Holley, City Manager

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
New Information
Tonight's item clarifies the Council's prior ac,on on April 21 (Resolu,on 2026-26). Staff recommends the Council adopt the updated resolu,on (found in A9achment 1.) to clarify a clerical correc,on to Resolution 2026-26.

Background and History
American Canyon has expanded its boundaries five (5) ,mes since incorpora,on in 1992 through annexa,ons approved by the Napa County Local Agency Forma,on Commission (LAFCO). Last year, American Canyon updated its General Plan memorializing future growth plans through the Year 2040. In addition, Napa County is in the middle of updating its General Plan.

Last fall, American Canyon applied for LAFCO approval to annex 83-acres of land surrounding Watson Lane (Paoli-Watson Lane Affected Territory or PWLAT). The PWLAT is located within American Canyon's Urban Limit Line (ULL) and Sphere of Influence (SOI) (A9achment 4). The LAFCO Board approved American Canyon's application on June 1.

Earlier this spring, two landowners north of the PWLAT applied for LAFCO approval to annex an addi,onal 281 acres of land (Hess/Laird Affected Territory or HLAT) (A9achment 5). American Canyon's General Plan acknowledges the PWLAT as a future study area as does the Napa County General Plan (A9achment 6). The LAFCO Board is also scheduled to separately consider the property owners application sometime in the future.

Properties within the PWLAT have a mix of residential and industrial general plan designations, while 60 both proper,es within HLAT have industrial general plan designa,on. Both American Canyon’s and Napa County’s General Plans plan for the development of these territories in part to help facilitate extension of Newell Drive and S. Kelly Road. Once complete, this roadway network will act like a “Silverado Trail South” for the Napa Valley - func,oning as an alterna,ve route to Highway 29. In turn, this new infrastructure will also help Napa County and American Canyon achieve its housing obliga,ons as determined by the Associa,on of Bay Area Government’s (ABAG) Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

Regional Housing Needs Allocation
As with previous annexa,ons, American Canyon will begin to plan for a por,on of Napa County’s future RHNA (in addi,on to its own). This benefits everyone because it helps ensure other unincorporated County lands remain as agricultural and open space free from urban development.

Star,ng in 2031, the Urban Limit Line and Regional Housing Needs Alloca,on Agreement (A9achment 1, Ex. A) provides for American Canyon to plan for 15% of the County RHNA through the year 2047 and then 10% thereaKer. This addi,onal planning is es,mated to be approximately 25 additional dwelling units per year initially and then 15 units per year thereafter.

As noted in staff's update to Council last month, when planning for RHNA in conjunc,on with the General Plan Housing Element, jurisdic,ons assume a variety of affordability levels (i.e. moderate, low, very low, etc.) based on specified household incomes. Of note, ABAG approval of RHNA transfers is also required during each housing element cycle.

Lastly, the agreement contemplates County support for the HLAT annexa,on and related expansion of the ULL to include the HLAT in return for specified property tax transfers and a transfer of a por,on of the County's future regional housing needs alloca,on to the City. However, as stated expressly in the City/Councy Agreement in Sec,on 2, the agreement itself does not approve the City's expansion of the ULL to include the HLAT. The City's approval of an expanded ULL to include the HLAT requires separate, future ac,on by the City as allowed byResolu,on 2008-105, adop,ng an ini,a,ve en,tled the “City of American Canyon Urban Limit Line and Prezoning Act" and applicable law. The proposed clerical correc,on resolu,on adds a recital to the Resolu,on that approved the Urban Limit Line and Regional Housing Needs Alloca,on Agreement with Napa County to reflect that the Agreement itself does not approve the expansion of the Urban Limit Line to include the HLAT.

Property Tax Sharing
As with previous annexations, property tax revenue from the newly annexed lands will be shared.

Once ABAG approves the RHNA transfer, the "Paoli-Watson Lane Affected Territory Property Tax Sharing Agreement" (A9achment 2) provides for American Canyon to receive three-quarters (75%) of the County’s alloca,on for the proper,es in the PWLAT. Of note, these fiKeen proper,es in PWLAT are already within the American Canyon Fire Protec,on District (ACFPD) and their property 61 tax alloca,on remains unchanged. Note that LAFCO has also approved the PWLAT annexa,on at its June 1 Commission meeting.

The "Hess-Laird Affected Territory Property Tax Sharing Agreement" (A9achment 3) provides a comparable mythology, but because the two proper,es within the HLAT are being added to the ACFPD, so the ACFPD will receive 100% of the County’s structural fire property tax revenue. As with all other prior City annexa,ons, the ACFPD will also receive 5% of the County’s regular property allocation.

Once ABAG approves the RHNA transfer, then American Canyon will receive three-quarters (70%) of the County’s alloca,on. If development proposals are received that exceed the ACPFD's financial ability to provide services, then the City and AFFPD will work in concert together to augment revenue sources, but regardless for both territories, the County will retain 25% of their allocation.

Staff recommends Council approve the clerical clarifica,on resolu,on to correct the record and ensure all interested par,es understand, as was stated previously, that the City and County's approval of the Urban Limit Line and Regional Housing Needs Alloca,on Agreement under Resolu,on 2026-26 did not itself approve the expansion of the Urban Limit Line to include the Hess Laird Affected Territory.

Next Steps
Council ac,on tonight sets the stage for future ac,on by ACFDP, Napa Co. and LAFCO, and the City, related to the HLAT. It is important to note no specific development proposals are being approved tonight. Instead, LAFCO conclusion of the annexa,on process simply resolvesw h o (namely, American Canyon and ACFPD) will decide future development proposals.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Transporta,on: "Improve the transporta,on network within the City to alleviate conges,on and enhance the quality of life for the community."

FISCAL IMPACT
Costs for the prepara,on the city-ini,aled PWLAT annexa,on applica,on is included within the FY 2025/26 Budget. There is no cost to the city for the landowner application.

Upon the conclusion of the annexa,on process, the City will begin to receive property tax revenue in accordance with the property tax sharing agreements.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The adop,on of this clerical clarifica,on Resolu,on is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act as CEQA Guidelines Sec,on 15378(b)(5) provide that organiza,onal or administra,ve ac,vi,es of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment are not subject to CEQA.

TITLE
Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Salary Schedule and Classification Plan Update

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu+on Approving the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Salary Schedule and Classifica+on Plan Update.

CONTACT
Juan Gomez, Assistant City Manager
Scott Corey, Human Resources Manager

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City Council approves all employee salaries, classifica+on +tles and changes. The California Government Code requires pay rates for employees be established pursuant to a “publicly available” salary schedule that includes certain informa+on, such as posi+on +tle and pay range. To sa+sfy this requirement, it is necessary for the Council to adopt a Resolu+on approving the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Salary Schedule (the "Schedule") consistent with funding appropriated by the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 budget (the "Budget") on June 2.

The new Schedule reflects changes to employees’ salaries based on the current Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with the two employee bargaining units, and the Unrepresented Compensa+on Program (Unrepresented Program). Each of these documents provide for a minimum 2% and maximum 5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 based on the Consumer Price Index as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Sta+s+cs for the month of April 2026.

The Schedule includes a 3.8% COLA for classifica+ons in the bargaining units and/or covered by the Unrepresented Program, and for those Temporary classifica+ons indexed to similar Regular classifications.

The City Manager's Employment Agreement provides for a minimum 2% and a maximum 4% COLA for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 and each year thereaGer based on the same factors as other City employees. The Schedule includes a 3.8% COLA for the City Manager.

The City completed a Compensa+on Survey for execu+ve classifica+ons consistent with the "Performance Management Guidelines, Policies and Procedures for At-Will Managers." The City 76 conducts these studies to ensure it remains compe++ve in the marketplace to aJract and retain highly qualified execu+ve leadership. The Schedule updates the salary ranges for At-Will Managers consistent with the survey.

There were several classifica+ons that have been unused for several years and/or have been replaced with other classifica+ons and should be removed from the compensa+on plan.

Accordingly, the following classifica+ons were removed from the Schedule: Bus Driver, Development Services Engineer, Human Resources Officer I/II, Information Systems Officer, Deputy City Clerk-CDD, Fire Execu+ve Assistant/Office Administrator, Senior Bus Driver. If these a need for these classifica+ons arises, a new Compensa+on Study would be performed and an updated Schedule would be proposed.

The Public Works Department iden+fied a need for an addi+onal classifica+on to build out the Engineering Technician series. Human Resources Division consulted with the Department and Teamsters Local 315 to finalize the proposed classifica+on of Senior Engineering Technician, which is recommended for approval as an update to the Classifica+on Plan. The Schedule includes a pay scale for this classification.

The new salaries will go into effect the first full pay period following July 1, 2026.

Pursuant to California Government Code sec+on 54953(c)(3), the ac+on recommended in this report would constitute final action on the salary or salary schedule of one or more local agency executives, which shall be orally reported prior to a Council vote.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for these increases is included in the City's Adopted Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Budget.

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 1: Minimal Communication
Employees impacted by the salary schedule changes were no+fied. Upon approval, the salary schedule will be posted and maintained on the City website consistent with State law.

SENIOR ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN
Class specifications are intended to present a descriptive list of the range of duties performed by employees in this class. Specifications are not intended to reflect all duties performed in a job.

DEFINITION
Under general supervision, act as lead worker or project lead to provide coordination and technical guidance while performing the full scope of tasks of the Engineering Technician series at an advanced journey level and performing the most highly specialized duties and projects. Positions in this class are responsible for performing the most difficult, complex, and specialized technical engineering duties the majority of the time, and may be tasked with managing assigned projects from design through completion. Incumbents are highly experienced and proficient in handling challenging assignments and utilizing specialized equipment necessary to perform their work.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
The Senior Engineering Technician is the advanced journey and highly specialized classification within the Engineering Technician job series. This class is positioned between the journey-level Engineering Technician and the professional Engineer I classifications.

Unlike the Engineer I class, positions in the Engineering Technician series, including Senior Engineering Technician, do not require a Bachelor's degree. The Senior Engineering Technician performs more advanced, specialized, and complex technical engineering tasks than the Engineering Technician, but does not have the professional engineer status or registration requirements of the Engineer I level. This classification requires proven technical expertise, experience and college course work up to an Associate's Degree rather than formal engineering education.

EXAMPLES OF DUTIES
Note: Senior Engineering Technician duties differ from the journey-level Engineering Technicians, reflecting increased complexity, specialization, and responsibility including leadership roles in technical project aspects.

In addition to tasks in the Engineering Technician classification, typical duties performed by a Senior Engineering Technician include advanced technical engineering tasks and specialized responsibilities requiring substantial experience and skill. Duties often involve a combination of project lead functions and complex technical support activities. These may include but not be limited to:
• Provide technical support during construction inspections, interpreting plans and specifications to verify work quality and conformity.
• Collaborate with engineers, contractors, inspectors, and other stakeholders to resolve technical issues and ensure project compliance. • Act as project lead on certain assignments, coordinating work activities, providing technical guidance, and managing project timelines under broad supervision. 85 2
• Travel reliably and independently throughout American Canyon, where public transit options are limited, to multiple field sites daily to address variable construction needs using appropriate marked City vehicles to transport equipment and complete assigned duties.
• Perform soil compaction and density testing using specialized equipment to ensure compliance with engineering standards.
• Conduct the most difficult and complex testing and inspection tasks related to civil engineering construction projects.
• Operate and maintain specialized field and laboratory equipment necessary for technical testing procedures.
• Review construction plans, technical data, and test results to identify discrepancies or deficiencies requiring correction.
• Maintain detailed records of testing, inspection, and related technical activities to support project documentation and reporting requirements. • Assist in preparing reports, technical memos, and documentation of findings for internal and external use.
• Manage assigned projects from design through completion under appropriate supervision of assigned Engineer series staff members.
• Perform related technical duties as assigned that require advanced knowledge and skill within the engineering technician scope.
• Perform related duties as assigned.

A college degree is not required for this classification, distinguishing it from engineer-level positions. Experience must demonstrate progressive responsibility and proficiency in advanced and specialized engineering technician functions.

Certificates and Licenses:

Possession of a valid California Class C Driver License is typically required at the time of appointment due to regular travel through American Canyon where public transit options are limited, and due to the need to transport equipment to multiple field sites daily using marked City vehicles. Applicants who do not meet this requirement due to a verified physical disability will be considered on a case-by-case basis for reasonable accommodation.

Physical Requirements
Work is performed in typical office and outdoor environments on a year-round basis. • Mobility & Dexterity: Frequent use of keyboard; frequent sitting for long periods of time; frequent walking and standing for long periods of time; frequent bending, squatting, grasping, holding, and reaching as part of field technical tasks. 87 4

TITLE
Sales Tax Measure

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu%on calling an elec%on on a one percent (1.0% or one-cent) general transac%ons and use tax (sales tax) ordinance measure, submi1ng the proposed ordinance to the voters, reques%ng consolida%on with the November 3, 2026 General Elec%on, direc%ng the City A8orney to prepare an impar%al analysis, authorizing one or more Council Members to submit ballot arguments, authorizing rebu8al arguments, and authorizing the Napa County Registrar of Voters to conduct the election on behalf of the City of American Canyon.

Jason Holley, City Manager

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
At Council's direc%on, Statewide polling firm Fairbank, Maslin, Maulin, Metz & Associates (FM3 Research) conducted a sta%s%cally valid opinion research regarding voter support for a sales tax measure and priorities for City services.

The research compiled a random sample of voters from American Canyon's local voter file. A total of 267 voters completed the poll. The sample did not include minors or adults who are not registered to vote. The demographic and geographical characteris%cs of survey respondents were carefully monitored during the data collec%on phase to ensure the final sample profile reflected the voters in American Canyon. Consequently, not all adults or voters were invited to par%cipate in the survey.

The margin of sampling error was +/- 6.2% at a 95% confidence level.

On May 5, 2026, the City Council received a presenta%on regarding the polling results (A8achment 2), including voter support levels for a poten%al sales tax measure, community priori%es for maintaining and expanding City services, and tes%ng of poten%al ballot language. Council also discussed dis%nc%ons between general and special taxes, voter approval thresholds, and poten%al next steps associated with a future ballot measure.

The polling efforts tested voter support for a general sales tax measure, including both a one percent (1.0% or one cent) and one-half percent (0.5% or one-half cent) op%ons. Tax increases 89 require voter approval, and FM3 tested draH ballot language designed to reflect the community priorities identified through the survey process.

On June 2, 2026, the City Council reviewed poten%al ballot language for a poten%al one percent (1.0% or one cent) general transac%ons and use tax/sales tax measure. The language reflects voter priori%es, including public safety, neighborhood concerns, parks and recrea%on, and quality of life services. The proposed measure is es%mated to generate approximately $3.7 million annually to support general governmental services and maintain community priorities.

The ballot language is:

American Canyon Public Safety, Parks, City Services Measure. Shall an ordinance funding American Canyon's general City services, such as maintaining 911 response/neighborhood police patrols; preven3ng crime; reducing wildfire risk by managing brush/other flammable vegeta3on; addressing speeding/unsafe driving; keeping public areas/parks safe/clean; maintaining and expanding safe places for children to play; maintaining parks, trails, youth/adult recrea3on, senior programming, among others; by establishing a 1% sales tax, providing approximately $3,700,000 annually un3l ended by voters, requiring audits, spending disclosure, funds locally controlled, be adopted?
Next Steps
To place the proposed sales tax measure on the November 3, 2026 General Elec%on ballot, the City Council must adopt the Resolu%on shown in A8achment 1 by a two-thirds vote to call an elec%on submi1ng the proposed Ordinance shown in A8achment 1-A to the voters and reques%ng consolida%on with Napa County. Tonight is the deadline to take this ac%on for the November 2026 ballot.

If adopted, the proposed one percent (1.0% or one-cent) sales tax measure will be submi8ed to American Canyon voters. As a general tax, the measure would require majority voter approval (50% plus one). The resolu%on calls the elec%on, submits the proposed measure to the voters, directs the City A8orney to prepare an impar%al analysis, authorizes one or more Council Members to submit ballot arguments, authorizes rebu8al arguments, requests consolida%on with the General Elec%on, and authorizes the Napa County Registrar of Voters to conduct the election on behalf of the City.

In addi%on, should the City Council approval moving forward with the proposed measure, staff will con%nue coordina%ng with Tripepi Smith & Associates to implement neutral public outreach and education efforts as outlined in Attachment 3.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
90 Costs associated with Tripepi Smith & Associates are included in the FY 25-26 and FY 26-27 adopted budgets. The cost for the November 2026 election will be included in FY 26-27 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, if lawfully approved (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
The adop%on of the proposed Resolu%on submi1ng the proposed General Transac%ons and Use Tax/Sales Tax Ordinance to the voters is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code sec%on 21000 et seq. and California Code of Regula%ons, %tle 14, sec%on 15000 et seq. (CEQA Guidelines). The calling of a municipal elec%on is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines sec%on 15378. Further, the general tax proposed by this Resolu%on does not “involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a poten%ally significant physical impact on the environment,” and adop%ng it is therefore not a project under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4).

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 a8ached communica%ons plan. The plan provides a high-level approach and maybe refined to accommodate additional ideas, consistent with the approved budget.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF AMERICAN CANYON AMENDING THE AMERICAN CANYON MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING CHAPTER 3.22 TO TITLE 3, IMPOSING A

TRANSACTIONS AND USE TAX TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

TAX AND FEE ADMINISTRATION
THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF AMERICAN CANYON DO HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Chapter 3.22 is hereby added to Title 3 of the American Canyon Municipal Code to read in its entirety as follows:

Chapter 3.22 Transactions and Use Tax

3.22.010 Title
This chapter shall be known as the American Canyon Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance. The City of American Canyon hereinafter shall be called “City.” This chapter shall be applicable in the incorporated territory of the City.

3.22.020 Operative Date
“Operative Date” means the first day of the first calendar quarter commencing more than 110 days after the adoption of the ordinance codifying this chapter.

3.22.030 Purpose
This chapter is adopted to achieve the following, among other purposes, and directs that the provisions hereof be interpreted in order to accomplish those purposes:

A. To impose a retail transactions and use tax in accordance with the provisions of Part 1.6 (commencing with Section 7251) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 7285.9 of Part 1.7 of Division 2 which authorizes the City to adopt this tax ordinance which shall be operative if a majority of the electors voting on the measure vote to approve the imposition of the tax at an election called for that purpose.

B. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that incorporates provisions identical to those of the Sales and Use Tax Law of the State of California insofar as those provisions are not inconsistent with the requirements and limitations contained in Part 1.6 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

C. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that imposes a tax and provides a measure therefore that can be administered and collected by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration in a manner that adapts itself as fully as practicable to, and requires the least possible deviation from, the existing statutory and administrative procedures followed by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration in administering and collecting the California State Sales and Use Taxes.

D. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that can be administered in a manner that will be, to the greatest degree possible, consistent with the provisions of Part 1.6 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, minimize the cost of collecting the transactions and use taxes, and at the same time, 95 447095.1
minimize the burden of record keeping upon persons subject to taxation under the provisions of this chapter.

3.22.040 Contract with State
Prior to the operative date, the City shall contract with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration to perform all functions incident to the administration and operation of this transactions and use tax ordinance; provided, that if the City shall not have contracted with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration prior to the operative date, it shall nevertheless so contract and in such a case the operative date shall be the first day of the first calendar quarter following the execution of such a contract.

3.22.050 Transactions Tax Rate
For the privilege of selling tangible personal property at retail, a tax is hereby imposed upon all retailers in the incorporated territory of the City at the rate of one percent of the gross receipts of any retailer from the sale of all tangible personal property sold at retail in said territory on and after the operative date of this chapter.

3.22.060 Place of Sale
For the purposes of this chapter, all retail sales are consummated at the place of business of the retailer unless the tangible personal property sold is delivered by the retailer or his agent to an out-of-state destination or to a common carrier for delivery to an out-of-state destination. The gross receipts from such sales shall include delivery charges, when such charges are subject to the state sales and use tax, regardless of the place to which delivery is made. In the event a retailer has no permanent place of business in the State or has more than one place of business, the place or places at which the retail sales are consummated shall be determined under rules and regulations to be prescribed and adopted by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.

3.22.070 Use Tax Rate
An excise tax is hereby imposed on the storage, use or other consumption in the City of tangible personal property purchased from any retailer on and after the operative date of this chapter for storage, use or other consumption in said territory at the rate of one percent of the sales price of the property. The sales price shall include delivery charges when such charges are subject to state sales or use tax regardless of the place to which delivery is made.

3.22.080 Adoption of Provisions of State Law
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter and except insofar as they are inconsistent with the provisions of Part 1.6 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, all of the provisions of Part 1 (commencing with Section 6001) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code are hereby adopted and made a part of this chapter as though fully set forth herein.

3.22.090 Limitations on Adoption of State Law and Collection of Use Taxes In adopting the provisions of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code:

A. Wherever the State of California is named or referred to as the taxing agency, the name of this City shall be substituted therefor. However, the substitution shall not be made when:

1. The word “State” is used as a part of the title of the State Controller, State Treasurer, State Treasury, or the Constitution of the State of California;
96 447095.1

2. The result of that substitution would require action to be taken by or against this City or any agency, officer, or employee thereof rather than by or against the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, in performing the functions incident to the administration or operation of this chapter.

3. In those sections, including, but not necessarily limited to sections referring to the exterior boundaries of the State of California, where the result of the substitution would be to:
a. Provide an exemption from this tax with respect to certain sales, storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property which would not otherwise be exempt from this tax while such sales, storage, use or other consumption remain subject to tax by the State under the provisions of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, or; b. Impose this tax with respect to certain sales, storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property which would not be subject to tax by the state under the said provision of that code.

3.22.120 Amendments
All amendments subsequent to the effective date of this chapter to Part 1 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code relating to sales and use taxes and which are not inconsistent with Part 1.6 and Part 1.7 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and all amendments to Part 1.6 and Part 1.7 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, shall automatically become a part of this chapter, provided however, that no such amendment shall operate so as to affect the rate of tax imposed by this chapter.

16 Effect of Educational and
Critical Statements

17 The measure’s strict accountability provisions, continuing to invest in crime reduction, and maintaining services to protect the quality of life are among the leading reasons to support the measure.

Q. Now please consider the (PHONE: following statements) (ONLINE: statements on the next few screens) from people who may support the potential measure you have been considering. For each statement, please indicate if it makes you much more inclined or somewhat more inclined to vote Yes on the measure. *Split Sample (Ranked by Total More Inclined to Vote Yes)
(ACCOUNTABILITY) This measure includes strict accountability requirements such as public disclosure of all spending and annual independent financial audits that ensure funds are used effectively and efficiently, and cannot be taken by the county, state or federal government so they can only be used to benefit the American Canyon community.
(CRIME) With more crime fighting tools available, our proactive police department made one-third more arrests last year. Most of these crimes are committed by individuals who come from other cities to target our community, including organized retail theft and car burglaries. The funds from this measure could help the City continue to reduce crime by investing in more neighborhood policing to keep local residents, businesses, and their property safe. *(PROPERTY VALUES) Safe and clean public spaces, parks and neighborhoods, and well-maintained neighborhood parks are investments that strengthen local property values and make our community a more desirable place to live, do business and raise a family.

For each statement, please indicate if it makes you much more inclined or somewhat more inclined to vote Yes on the measure. *Split Sample (Ranked by Total More Inclined to Vote Yes)
*(PATROLS) The City of American Canyon has only on average about five to six officers on patrol at any given time. The funds from this measure could help increase the number of patrols and improve 911 emergency response services to keep local residents and their property safe.
*(QUALITY OF LIFE) Safe neighborhoods and parks, quality programs for children, youth, and seniors all contribute to a strong quality of life. If passed, this measure could provide the funding needed to maintain these city services, ensuring American Canyon remains a great place to live, do business, and raise a family. *(CRIME CLEARANCE) American Canyon’s Police Department solves crimes at a higher rate than both the California and national averages. Adding well-trained police officers will help ensure our police department has the staffing needed to keep response times low, solve crimes, and continue providing the high level of safety our community relies on.
(MAINTAIN PARKS) Our city's 20 parks, trails, and recreation centers are a source of community pride, but they need investment to stay that way. This measure could provide dedicated funding to maintain and upgrade our sports fields, repair aging infrastructure, and upgrade children’s playgrounds so kids have safe places to play.

Our community deserves fields and facilities that are safe, functional, and well-maintained.

(KIDS/HEALTH) In today's digital age, it is more important than ever to preserve opportunities for children to swim, play, create, and experience the outdoors.

This measure could provide funding to maintain and expand afterschool park, recreation, aquatics, and arts programs as well as summer camps that more than 2,500 young people rely on. Additional funding will help ensure kids have time away from screens and access to activities that improve their overall physical health and well-being.
(OUT OF TOWNERS) About 45% of the funding from this measure will be paid by visitors and commuters from outside the city who work in or pass through American Canyon, and shop at Walmart, Safeway and other local retailers. This is an opportunity for people who do not live in our city to contribute their fair share to keep our community safe while they are here.
(FUTURE GROWTH) With our community continuing to grow, it’s critical that our city services grow with it. Investing now will help maintain strong police protection; keep neighborhoods safe; expand youth, adult and senior recreation programs and ensure American Canyon is prepared for the future.

22 Critical Statements
The cost of living, including groceries, gas and housing, is way too high, and many of us are struggling to make ends meet and keep up with rising taxes every year, including a recent $230 million local school bond measure and increases in our water rates.

Now is not the time for another expensive tax increase.

Further, nothing in this ballot measure requires the money to be used for public safety services, parks or any of the other programs mentioned in the description. It is just a blank check with no end date, which politicians can use to fund pet projects like luxury city buildings. With over $11 million in a reserve fund, the City has plenty of money for the services mentioned in this measure and should tighten its belt like the rest of us instead of asking for more. Opponents also note that many residents already pay a special assessment for park maintenance — before asking taxpayers to pay more, the City should show that the funds we are already paying are being used effectively and making real improvements in our parks.

Key Critical Arguments:

1. Cost of Living/Rising Taxes

2. Blank Check

3. Have the Money/
Cut Waste & Inefficiency

4. Some Already Paying a
Parks Special Assessment/
City Should Show How the
Money is Spent

Context:
▪ One-in-two have a positive view of the direction of the City. ▪ More than 6-in-10 perceive the City has a need for additional funds, with only about 1-in-5 indicating great need.
1% City Sales Tax:
▪ Initially, overall support is 55%, with 30% having said they would definitely vote yes and 31% who said they would definitely vote no. ▪ After education, support rises to 59%, above the simple majority threshold and above the margin of error.
▪ After critical statements support drops to 50% — just at the threshold of passage and within the margin of error — with 29% having said they would definitely vote yes and 31% having said they would vote no. 130
31 Conclusions; Continued
1% vs ½% City Sales Tax:
▪ Lowering the sales tax from 1% to ½% increases support to 55%, above the simple majority threshold, but within the margin of error of passage.

Countywide 1/2-cent Sales Tax:
▪ Only 1-in-2 American Canyon likely November 2026 voters indicated they would vote yes, with only 3-in-10 willing to definitely vote yes. ▪ Assuming both measures would appear on the ballot, neither measure received the simple majority vote (City Measure 42% and County Measure 36%) needed for passage, though 19% are undecided as to how they would vote on each measure at the time of the survey.

Event Title: ACHS & ACMS Graduation/Promotion
Event Report: On June 5, 2026, I had the honor of attending both the American Canyon Middle School and American Canyon High School graduation ceremonies. It was truly inspiring to witness students at two important milestones in their educational journeys—one marking the transition into high school, and the other celebrating the culmination of years of hard work and achievement.

Both ceremonies reflected the pride of our community, the dedication of our educators, and the bright future ahead for each student.

I was grateful for the opportunity to celebrate alongside families, staff, and supporters as we recognized these remarkable accomplishments.

Event Title: Napa Valley Transportation Authority Meetings Event Report: Although the Board meeting is next week, I did attend a number of Board Chair-related meetings.

Independent Tax Oversight Committee (ITOC) meeting:  As Chair, I am also an ex officio member of ITOC.

We met and heard an update on road projects in Napa City, as well as an update on how they are using their new 1 cent sales tax revenues.

Board Packet Review: The Chair and Vice-Chair meet with the Director to review the upcoming Agenda.

June's meeting will include project updates and the election of a new Board Chair and Vice-Chair. That means I will get to step down as Chair--I am proud of what we accomplished over the last two years, but taking a back seat is good, too!!
Nominating Committee: The prior Chair, current Chair and Vice-Chair met to discuss who we want to nominate for Chair and Vice-Chair. It's fairly routine for the Vice-Chair to promote to Chair; so it's really who should be Vice-Chair that's exciting.  You'll have to attend the meeting to find out. We also talked about changing the start date to January, rather than July.  The reason is simple: by January you know who was elected or re-elected, and that can avoid some awkward situations.

Event Title: Fire District Finance Subcommittee
137
Event Report: The Mayor and I (wearing our Fire District hats) met with the acting Fire Chief and the new Finance Consultants to go over next year's Fire District Budget. Spoiler alert: although the District's budget format will be similar to prior years, the presentation will be very different!
The bad news is that we do not have a balanced budget going forward, and some of our forecasts need to be scaled back--new growth hasn't arrived as planned, and some expenditure projections were probably on the low end.  As with the City's forecast, the gap will only increase over time.

The good news is that we have ample cash reserves, so there is no immediate crisis.  In fact, the new consultants were relatively relieved, because we have time to address that ongoing gap.  Some of the suggestions included looking at our CalPERS costs (which is one of our biggest expenses), minor tweaks to our service fees and changes (worthwhile, but not enough to fix things), and potentially look to new revenue sources, or possible expansion.

I was very pleased that the District is focused on developing a five-year plan to show how we are going to address this ongoing deficit.  In fact, that was the main reason I raised the same concept during the Council's budget session.

Event Title: American Canyon Arts Foundation Events
Event Report: The last couple weeks have been very busy for the ACAF.

First, we held our annual Art Extravaganza and Concert at RD Winery on June 6.  The event went very well--the winery is ideal for our event (good space for the art inside, nice comfortable setting for the music outside).  The weather was wonderful. Maybe it was the venue, but the quality and quantity of art has improved. We're very grateful for new artists discovering us.

Immediately after that major event, we scrambled to host the Fifth Year Juneteenth Celebration, now a part of the Chamber's Meet Me in the Street. As the first year in this new venue, and trying to merge two different programs, we saw some things we can do better for next year.  The talent was truly amazing--and the Stiltwalker and Drummers really stole the show!!
We now get a little breather, which also allows us to focus on some grant-related activities.  We are seeking funds to cover some of the cost of our new Third Thursdays program, and we have tentatively received funding for our 26-27 Cultural Arts programming, as well as a smaller grant for a consultant to work with us on Board Development and Fundraising.  Wait til you see us next year!

Participated in a de-briefing on this year's Kiwanis Crab feed. Any time you start planning nine months in advance, you can't go wrong!
Met with local developer, Rick Hess, to discuss various projects in the City.

Participated in a meeting with several community members (including Supervisor Belia Ramos) on the subject of responding to the closure of the American Canyon Current online newspaper.  It was fairly uplifting, since we came away with several options to pursue.  Also met with a Calistoga resident who is basically doing the same thing with their local paper.

Event Title: Napa Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) Event Report: I attended the Napa County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) meeting on June 1, 2026. The primary item of interest to American Canyon was the Paoli Loop/Watson Lane Reorganization, which involved the annexation of approximately 86.9 acres into the City of American Canyon and the concurrent detachment of the property from County Service Area No. 4.

Following consideration of the proposal and associated environmental review documents, LAFCO approved the annexation. This is a significant milestone for American Canyon and represents the culmination of many years of planning and coordination between the City, property owners, Napa County, and other stakeholders.

The approval expands the City’s boundaries in the Watson Lane area and delivers on a long-standing commitment to bring this territory into the city limits.

In other business, LAFCO administered the oath of office to newly appointed public member Commissioner Jeffrey Crosswhite, who will serve on the Commission representing the public. The Commission also went over its FY 2026-27 budget, contracts for audit and legal services, and received updates on current and future boundary change proposals throughout Napa County.

Event Title: Pista sa Nayon Parade
Event Report: I attended the opening parade for Pista sa Nayon in Vallejo alongside fellow members of the American Canyon City Council. We were honored to march with the Fil-Am of American Canyon and participate in a celebration that continues to grow in both size and significance.

This was my first time attending in several years, and it was impressive to see how much the event has expanded.

The festival featured larger entertainment stages, more food and vendor offerings, and strong community participation from throughout the region. Pista sa Nayon, which translates from Tagalog as “town festival” or 140
“fiesta in the village,” celebrates Filipino culture and traditions through food, music, dance, arts, and community gathering.

Congratulations to the organizers, volunteers, and community leaders who continue to make this event a success. It was a great opportunity to celebrate the cultural diversity that enriches our region and to support the many American Canyon residents who help make the event possible.
