The trans flag at mast, while meant to be an inclusive idea is offensive to some. One can appreciate the idea of inclusion certainly. Everyone should live the life they want.
Suspending reality is another. 2+2 needs to equal 4.
If you’re committed to the idea, change the women’s bathroom in pioneer park to allow trans men in the women’s and see how the parents feel.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Derek Rayner, Public Works Director/City Engineer Meeting: City Council - Jun 11 2024
Subject: Adoption of Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Project List for Fiscal Year 2024/25 DESCRIPTION:
Adoption of Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Street Improvement Project List for Fiscal Year 2024/25 to maintain compliance with the program and determine that the action authorized by the resolution are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution and authorize staff to submit the same to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1) to address basic road maintenance needs on local roads and state highways. SB 1 increases the fuel excise taxes and vehicle registration fees with an annual inflation adjustment in future years. The funds are for eligible street improvement projects that address maintenance, rehabilitation and critical safety projects on local streets.
In order to be eligible for continued SB1 funding, local agencies are required to submit to the CTC on or before July 1 of every calendar year a resolution adopting a list of proposed projects planned to be constructed the next fiscal year using SB1 funding. This will be an ongoing annual requirement.
The recommended SB1 work plan shows several projects and has more costs than funding. This is so we can fund different projects and can be nimble and flexible going forward.
SB1 and Measure T funds both require that agencies provide an annual local match, from general fund revenues, called Maintenance of Effort (MOE) to be compliant with funding requirements. The City’s MOE for SB1 is $273,756 and $287,001 for Measure T. The difference is due to the different fiscal years that these were calculated for. The MOE for Measure T counts for SB1 MOE, so if we meet the $287,001, we are compliant for both funds. The anticipated SB1 revenue for FY 2024/25 is $135,144.
Item #6.1.
CEQA STATUS:
The projects anticipated to be funded by SB1 revenues are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 because they are repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing facilities involving no or negligible expansion of use beyond that which presently exists.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The required FY 2024/25 MOE for SB1 is $273,756. MOE is included in the General Fund portion of the Public Works Streets Division Account No. 01-4122-4301 thru 4821, proposed FY 2024/25 funding of over $500,000.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Rachel Melick, Parks & Recreation Director
Meeting: City Council - Jun 11 2024
Subject: Second Reading of Amendment to Special Events Ordinance of the Calistoga Municipal Code Chapter 5.18 Special Events, Section 5.18.030 Applicability.
DESCRIPTION:
Consider an Ordinance of the City of Calistoga Amending Municipal Code Chapter 5.18 Special Events, Section 5.18.030 regarding the applicability of and exemptions from the special event permit requirement to remove the Napa County Fairgrounds from the enumerated list of exempted government agencies.
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to adopt and waive further reading of Ordinance number 771 amending the Municipal Code Chapter 5.18 Special Events, Section 5.18.030.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Chapter 5.18 of the Calistoga Municipal Code, “Special Events” sets forth the criteria for the approval of permits to allow special events as long as those activities are consistent with public health and safety and the protection of property. Section 5.18.30 of the Calistoga Municipal Code, “Applicability” sets forth the scope of the special events permit requirements. It requires special event permits for “any assembly or congregation of persons, display, entertainment, or demonstration, which involves the use of City facilities or public property, unless otherwise exempted.
Calistoga Municipal Code section 5.18.30(B)(1) exempts governmental agencies, including the Napa County Fairgrounds and Calistoga Joint Unified School District, acting within the scope of their authorized functions from obtaining a special event permit.
ANALYSIS:
With operational responsibility for and ownership of the Napa County Fairgrounds by the City anticipated to occur in July of 2024, the governmental agency designation and exemption for the Fairgrounds property will no longer be applicable. Additionally, the City’s general protocol is to require a special event permit for any use of City-owned facilities. Special events on City-owned property generally require a commitment of significant city resources, including public safety to regulate vehicular and pedestrian traffic, public works crews to regulate maintenance impacts, enforcement staff to issue citations, and administrative staff to monitor city costs and revenues.
Item #6.2.
This amendment to Section 5.18.030(B)(1) is necessary to ensure that when the City takes ownership of the property any party wishing to organize a special event on the property should be required to obtain a special event permit as per Chapter 5.18 of the CMC. The amendment accomplishes this by removing the phrase “Napa County Fairgrounds” from the enumerated examples of government agencies exempted from the ordinance.
CEQA STATUS:
This action does not meet the definition of a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None at this time.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Derek Rayner, Public Works Director/City Engineer Meeting: City Council - Jun 11 2024
Subject: Engineer’s Report for the Palisades Subdivision Landscape Maintenance District Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2024-25
DESCRIPTION:
Consideration of a Resolution accepting the Engineer’s Report for the Palisades Subdivision Landscape Maintenance Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2024-25, declaring the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments and setting the date for the public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider adopting resolution.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
As a condition of the development of the Palisades Subdivision (located between Money Lane and Highway 29, behind La Prima Pizza located at 1923 Lake Street, see Exhibit F), a landscaping assessment district was established by the city to fund the maintenance of the area adjacent to State Route 29 on the north side of the development, and along Money Lane between the property fence and sidewalk.
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code 22500-22647) requires that the city undertake certain proceedings for any fiscal year during which assessments are to be levied and collected. These proceedings are accomplished at three separate Council meetings and include the following Council actions:
1. Adopt a resolution directing the City Engineer to prepare and file a report.
2. Approve the Engineer’s Report, declare the City Council’s intent to levy and collect assessments and set the date for a public hearing.
3. Conduct a public hearing and authorize the actual levying and collection of assessments.
On April 30, 2024, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-26 directing the City Engineer to prepare and file the attached report for the Palisades Subdivision Landscape Maintenance Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
Item #6.3.
For Fiscal Year 2023-24 the assessment was set at $35/parcel for the 44 parcels in the assessment district for a total assessment of $1,540. The assessment for Fiscal Year 2024-25 will remain the same.
Fiscal Years 2023-24 and 2024-25 are compared below.
FY 2023-24 FY 2024-25
Total Assessment $1,540 $1,540
City Contribution 1,373 1,370
Total Costs $2,913 $2,910
The attached resolution would accept the Engineer’s Report, declare the Council’s intent to levy and collect assessments in the amount of $35/parcel for Fiscal Year 2024-25 and set the date for the public hearing for July 30, 2024.
CEQA STATUS:
The recommended action is not a project under the definitions contained in the Guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is therefore exempt from CEQA.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Assessment District is intended to have no direct fiscal impact on the City of Calistoga, as revenues collected in Account No. 35-3399 through assessment are expended for maintenance and administration. However, estimated costs for FY 2024-25 are expected to exceed the total assessment of $1,540 by $1,370. This amount is to be included in Account No. 01-4123-4404. Any proposed increase in the amount of the assessment would require balloting of the property owners under the provisions of Proposition 218.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Derek Rayner, Public Works Director/City Engineer Meeting: City Council - Jun 11 2024
Subject: Engineer’s Report for the Silverado Place Subdivision Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMD) for Fiscal Year 2024-25 DESCRIPTION:
Consideration of a Resolution accepting the Engineer’s Report for the Silverado Place Subdivision Landscape Maintenance Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2024-25, declaring the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments and setting the date for the public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider adopting resolution.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
As a condition of the development of the Silverado Place Subdivision (located between Money Lane and Highway 29, behind La Prima Pizza located at 1923 Lake Street, see Exhibit F), a landscaping assessment district was established by the city to fund the maintenance of the area adjacent to State Route 29 on the north side of the development.
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code 22500-22647) requires that the city undertake certain proceedings for any fiscal year during which assessments are to be levied and collected. These proceedings are accomplished at three separate Council meetings and include the following Council actions:
1) Adopt a resolution directing the City Engineer to prepare and file a report. 2) Approve the Engineer’s Report, declare the City Council’s intent to levy and collect assessments and set the date for a public hearing.
3) Conduct a public hearing and authorize the actual levying and collection of assessments.
On April 30, 2024, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-27 directing the City Engineer to prepare and file the attached report for the Silverado Place Subdivision Landscape Maintenance Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
Item #6.4.
For Fiscal Year 2023-24 the assessment was set at $66.67/parcel for the 15 parcels in the assessment district for a total assessment of $1,000. The assessment for Fiscal Year 2024-25 will remain the same.
Fiscal Years 2023-24 and 2024-25 compared below.
FY 2023-24 FY 2024-25
Total Assessment $1,000 $1,000
City Contribution 126 149
Total Costs $1,126 $1,149
The attached resolution would accept the Engineer’s Report, declare the Council’s intent to levy and collect assessments in the amount of $66.67/parcel for Fiscal Year 2024-25, and set the date for the public hearing for July 30, 2024.
CEQA STATUS:
The recommended action is not a project under the definitions contained in the Guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is therefore exempt from CEQA.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Assessment District is intended to have no direct fiscal impact on the City of Calistoga, as revenues collected in Account No. 33-3399 through assessment are expended for maintenance and administration. However, estimated costs for FY 2024-25 are expected to exceed the total assessment of $1,000 by $149. This amount is to be included in Account No. 01-4123-4404. Any proposed increase in the amount of the assessment would require balloting of the property owners under the provisions of Proposition 218.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
1. UpValley Family Centers-Senior Services Assistance
UpValley Family Centers provided case management services to sixty-eight (68) senior citizens of Calistoga, totaling 636 connections to services to support their health, safety, and wellness over the grant term. The eligible low-income seniors served received financial assistance to support basic living expenses, including rent, utilities, medical equipment, and tools to promote independent living.
In addition to case management and financial support, UpValley Family Centers achieved the goal of hosting 12 Lunch & Learn activities to foster community and connection among the senior population who often experience loneliness and feelings of isolation. These popular events had an average attendance of 20-25 seniors per session. Additionally, UpValley hosted 48 social activities at the mobile home parks, which included ice cream socials, farmers market activities, emergency preparedness, and arts and crafts.
All awarded funds were expended for this activity project.
2. Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation
The Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation program was designed to provide deferred payment loans to ten low-income homeowners whose primary residence is in need of repairs, improvements, or reconstruction necessary to meet state and local building codes, and for correction of any health and safety deficiencies. The City's Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program was available throughout the City limits of Calistoga to homeowners whose income did note exceed 80% of the area median income.
The Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation program originally anticipated assisting 10 lowincome households and ultimately assisted 14 households (16 individuals) through the grant period. Spending a total of $484,793 on activity delivery and $15,206 on general administration.
The program assisted 5 extremely-low income (under 30% AMI), 6 very-low income (over 30% and under 50% AMI), and 3 low-income homeowners (over 50% and under 80% AMI). The rehabilitation projects ranged in scope from, roof replacements, painting, bathroom repairs, kitchen repairs, floor replacements, along with health and safety modifications.
All awarded funds were expended for this activity project.
3. Historic Building Rehabilitation Planning
This planning project centered on an existing 9,287-square-foot building located at 1407 3rd Street. This building formerly operated as a church but was red-tagged by the City of Calistoga, with the exception of the sanctuary and one other room. This project, led by the Brannan Center, involved extensive studies, design, planning, and permitting for future rehabilitation of the entire existing structure for full occupancy and use as a multi-purpose community center.
The Brannan Center accomplished the goals of the project and now has complete construction drawings and a building permit issued by the City of Calistoga for future rehabilitation and improvements including:
o 1,144 sq. ft. addition to the entry area of the building to serve as a lobby space. o 2,749 sq. ft. of outdoor terrace with ADA-compliant building and terrace access o 353 sq. ft. of lower-level outdoor courtyard space.
o ADA-compliant ramps
o New men’s and women's restrooms
o Commercial kitchen.
The existing parking lot will be redesigned to accommodate 31 parking spaces, new lighting, and bicycle racks for 12 bicycles. The proposed design allows for flexible use of the center for a variety of community events, classes, and activities.
With a shovel-ready design, construction documents, and a building permit in hand, the project is now ready to seek funding for construction.
Deliverables:

4. Geothermal Feasibility Study for Senior Mobile Home Parks Led by Calistoga Affordable Housing (CAH), the goal of this planning project was to research, test, and explore the feasibility of providing geothermal-produced electricity to two senior mobile home parks in Calistoga as a means to reduce residents' electric utility costs and to potentially provide a more reliable source of electricity. Both parks currently receive electrical service from PG&E.
As a first step, the feasibility study would entail testing geothermal wells on select privately owned properties in Calistoga to determine the flow rates and water temperature. If test results met threshold requirements, the specific well would move to a second phase of geothermal testing and analysis. At the time of the application for CDBG funding, properties had been identified as potential suitable sources of geothermal water, and property owners expressed interest in exploring well testing if the grant was awarded.
However, before the execution of the CDBG grant agreement, two properties with geothermal wells that were preliminarily identified as highly likely to be a suitable source were sold, and CAH was unable to secure approval from the new owners to conduct geothermal well testing. CAH explored other options, but ultimately, no viable alternatives to conducting geothermal well testing were found, and the project stopped.
Grant funds for this project were used to develop promotional and educational materials targeted to Calistoga residents, including six YouTube videos and two print articles.
The City expended $8,318 of the $75,000 grant award. The remaining $66,682 unspent funds will be disencumbered.
Final Product:
o Public Education and Awareness Promotional Materials

5. Napa River Footbridge Planning
The original scope of this planning project included selecting a site for the installation of a pedestrian footbridge over the Napa River, completing a final design, preparing construction documents, completing all environmental studies and CEQA, and obtaining all regulatory permits in order to have a complete shovel-ready package to see future construction funding.
However, due to ongoing COVID-related delays and inflation, the bids received from consultants to complete the full scope of work far exceeded the available grant funding. The City considered using general fund dollars to cover the budget shortfall but determined that was not a viable solution. Instead, the City reduced the scope of work to fit the available funding.
The City awarded a consultant services agreement to Mark Thomas Inc. on December 5, 2023, to complete a 30% pedestrian bridge design for two different bridge alignments as well as the initial environmental investigation. This work included performing a topographic survey, a tree and shrub survey, a preliminary biological resources technical memorandum, cultural resources investigations, and 30% design plans.
Mark Thomas has also prepared a grant application package for the California Department of Transportation’s Active Transportation Program (ATP), which the City will submit in June 2024.
The ATP application will request approximately $1,311,000 to fund the construction of an 189- foot off-street pedestrian bridge connecting South Oak Street to North Oak Street, which will provide an alternative crossing route over the Napa River.
The City expended $101,416 of the $150,000 grant funds available due to the inability to extend the grant period of performance. All grant funds were required to be expended by April 1, 2024, with no timeline extensions allowed by the funder. The remaining $48,584 unspent funds will be disencumbered.
Item #6.6.

3. Direct staff to disencumber unused grant funds, authorize the City Manager to sign the closeout certifications, and submit final reports and closeout packages to California Housing and Community Development, CDBG Division.
CEQA STATUS:
No Impact
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A total of $115,266 (13%) of the $875,000 total awarded for all five grants was unused. This amount will be disencumbered. There is no fiscal impact to the City’s general fund.

a significant burden. But what if there was a solution that could cut electricity costs in half and provide a sustainable source of energy? The Calistoga Geothermal Project is just that.
Geothermal energy is a clean and sustainable source of power that harnesses the natural heat of the earth's core to produce electricity. It is an innovative solution to high energy costs and environmental concerns. The Calistoga Geothermal Project uses binary power plant technology to extract heat from geothermal water and generate electricity. This technology is incredibly efficient and can produce up to 10 times more energy than traditional power plants.
But the benefits of the Calistoga Geothermal Project go beyond just energy production. The project uses sustainable, water-saving technology to harness the power of natural resources, establishing a grid for stable electricity. Unlike other energy sources that consume massive amounts of water, geothermal energy uses a closed-loop system that preserves our water resources.
The Calistoga Geothermal Project also supports the community's sustainability goals by providing a clean energy source that is reliable and cost-effective. The project aligns with the mission of Calistoga Affordable Housing (CAH) to provide affordable housing for the community. By using geothermal energy, CAH can provide affordable housing while reducing energy costs for its residents.
The project is a significant step towards building a greener and more sustainable future for Calistoga. It is a solution that can benefit the entire community, from affordable housing residents to local businesses. The Calistoga Affordable Housing board has partnered with local businesses to promote the project and raise awareness of its benefits. Together, they are working towards a sustainable future for the community.
The Calistoga Geothermal Project is still in the proposal and awareness building stages, but it has already garnered support from the community. It is an innovative solution to high energy costs and environmental concerns, and it aligns with the values of Calistoga and its residents.
With its sustainable, water-saving technology, the project has the potential to establish Calistoga as a leader in sustainable energy and set an example for other small towns facing similar challenges.

memorandum
date February 28, 2024
to David Fradelizio, P.E., City of Calistoga Department of Public Works from Liza Ryan & Melissa Logue, Environmental Science Associates subject Oak Street Pedestrian Bridge Preliminary Biological Constraints Analysis Environmental Science Associates (ESA) is pleased to present this biological resources summary and constraints analysis to the City of Calistoga for the Oak Street Pedestrian Bridge Project (Project).
Purpose and Scope of the Biological Constraints Analysis The City of Calistoga (City) proposes to construct a new pedestrian bridge over the Napa River between Logvy Park and Oak Street. ESA conducted a reconnaissance-level biological resources evaluation for potential California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance, permitting, and investigation of environmental fatal flaws for the project.
Project Area Description
The project location is located on the Calistoga, CA U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle map. The project area is shown on Figure 1 and includes Logvy Park, located at 1401 North Oak Street, across the Napa River to the city-owned property located between two residences at 1310 South Oak Street and 1802 School Street in the City of Calistoga. It includes the reach of the Napa River that passes Logvy Park. Surrounding land uses consist of single-and multi-family residences, an urban park (Logvy Park), and a community pool.
Logvy Park, on the east bank of the Napa River, is designated for passive community recreational activities and includes a baseball field, soccer field, and a picnic area; a bike path, playground and bocce court is planned to be constructed in summer 2024. The park is located adjacent to the Calistoga Community Pool and its parking lot.
The City of Calistoga General Plan has designated the park property as Public, and the opposite bank as OneFamily Residential (City of Calistoga, 2015).
Natural environments at the Project site primarily consist of riparian and perennial stream habitats associated with the Napa River, which flows locally from the northwest to the southeast through Calistoga. Riparian areas adjacent to the Project include large over-hanging valley oaks (Quercus lobata), California bay (Umbellularia californica), and coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) trees, with an understory of riparian shrubs, grasses, and ruderal plants.
The Project’s proposed off-site staging area is located at 414 Washington Street, the City Public Works Item #6.6.
2 Confidential – Not for Public Distribution
Maintenance Corporation Yard approximately 0.5-mile east. The off-site staging area is composed of paved and gravel-surfaces and is currently used to store City equipment, vehicles, and materials.
Project Actions
The project consists of a bicycle and pedestrian bridge across the Napa River connecting the south side neighborhood to Logvy Park on the northern bank. The bridge would be approximately 12 feet wide with a 10' wide concrete surface and hand railing and approach ramps extending outward 22' from abutment 1 and 28' from abutment 2. Two abutments approximately 4 feet wide and 16 feet long would be placed outside the top of bank of the Napa River with a clear-span design across the river. Each abutment would be anchored with two to three shafts approximately 30 to 40 feet deep. The construction disturbance area would be approximately 16 feet wide and for a structure 12 feet wide. The bridge would be prefabricated and likely installed via crane over the river.
Installation of the bridge structure would require removal of four to six mature riparian trees, primarily valley oaks, on each side of the Napa River, for a total of 8-12 trees, as well as additional tree trimming. It is expected that no ground disturbance would occur below the top-of-bank of the Napa River.
Biological Constraints Analysis and Results
Biological resources were evaluated by using the environmental factors listed in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. ESA conducted a desktop review focused on identifying the presence or potential presence of sensitive biological resources regulated by federal or State resource agencies, and the presence of habitat for special-status species in the area targeted for the project (see Figure 1). The California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) (2024), the California Native Plant Society California Rare Plant Ranking (CRPR) (2024), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) iPac (Information for Planning and Conservation) species list (2024) were used to evaluate potential for special-status species, critical habitats, and sensitive habitats in the project area. Google Earth was used for aerial photography of the project area. Resources used for collecting existing information and analyzing environmental effects are noted directly in the text or included as footnotes.
Sensitive Natural Communities
The project area consists of landscaped parkland and recreational trails, paved roadways, and riparian forest along the river. Regional vegetation includes coast live oak, California bay, valley oak, black walnut (Juglans californica), alder and willow species. Riparian forest is considered a sensitive natural community by CDFW (2022). The project would place bridge abutments outside the riparian woodland, but would require trimming and removal of several riparian trees to accommodate the bridge structure across the river. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has jurisdiction over riparian vegetation under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, and would likely require a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement for the project, with compensatory mitigation for loss of trees.
Napa County also protects native trees six inches in diameter or larger (Section 18,108.100, Vegetation Preservation). Impacts to protected trees may be mitigated by replacement, in consultation with applicable authorities.
Item #6.6.

Wetlands and Waters
The Napa River is a perennial stream and a water of the United States. The project plans to avoid all work within the top-of-bank of the Napa River that could result in fill of stream channels, and thus would not require authorization under Section 404/401 of the federal Clean Water Act or the State Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act. No wetlands are located within the project area (NWI 2024), except for potential in-stream wetlands along the Napa River, which would be avoided by the clear span design of the bridge.
Special Status Plants
Special-status plants recorded in riparian habitat in the vicinity of the project area may have potential to occur.
These include Calistoga popcornflower (Plagiobothrys strictus), a federal endangered species, and Baker’s navarretia (Navarretia leucocephala ssp. bakeri), Calistoga ceanothus (Ceanothus divergens), narrow-anthered brodiaea (Brodiaea leptandra), Jepson’s leptosiphon (Leptosiphon jepsonii), and Napa false indigo (Amorpha californica var. napensis), which are California rare plants (CNPS 2024). The ceanothus, broadiaea, leptosiphon, and Napa false indigo records indicate their habitat preferences as upland forest, grassland or chaparral (serpentine or volcanic), while Calistoga popcornflower and Baker’s navarretia prefer vernal pools and seeps (CDFW 2024; CNPS 2024). All these special-status plants have extant potential to occur in suitable habitat in the vicinity of the project area, though the project area and immediate surroundings are covered with non-native periwinkle (Vinca major) and blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), limiting the potential for rare plants (see Photos 1 and 2, below). No special-status plants were observed during the site survey, which did not occur during the blooming period of any of these plants. If rare or special-status plants were present, the project could have a potentially significant impact by directly removing them or by indirectly causing damage to their habitat. Special-status plants should be surveyed onsite prior to vegetation clearing, to evaluate the extent and boundaries of any special-status plants found, and allow quantification of potential impacts. If special-status plants were found, mitigation may include avoidance, relocation, or other measures.
Special-status Wildlife
The Napa River within Calistoga is known to host the federal endangered California freshwater shrimp (Syncaris pacifica) and federal threatened Central California Coast steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss), and California Coastal chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). No critical habitat is located in the project area.
California freshwater shrimp prefer slow-moving water with undercut banks and overhanging vegetation. Though some undercut banks were apparent in the project area, this species would be unlikely to dwell in this reach of the river due to fast flow. California freshwater shrimp are assumed to be present in the Napa River within Calistoga due to the known population upstream, and the possibility of individuals drifting down.
Salmonid species spawn in fall and early winter, and juveniles emerge and rear in late winter and spring before moving towards the bay, though juvenile steelhead may be present year-round.
The project would avoid impacts to fish and freshwater shrimp by installing the bridge outside the top-of-bank of the Napa River with a clear span design and prefabricated components.
The Napa River watershed also supports aquatic reptiles and amphibians including northwestern pond turtle (Actinemys marmorata), a federal proposed threatened species; California red-legged frog (Rana draytonii), a federal threatened species; foothill yellow-legged frog (Rana boylii), red-bellied newt (Taricha rivularis) and California giant salamander (Dicamptodon ensatus), all species of special concern.
Item #6.6.
4 Confidential – Not for Public Distribution
While the reptile and amphibian species have been recorded nearby in the watershed, they are unlikely to be in the river in the project area reach, due to its fast flows and steep banks. However, these species have potential to disperse through the river or adjacent riparian vegetation, between side creeks or pools with more suitable habitat.
The project would avoid impacts to these species by working outside the top-of-bank of the river.
Aquatic reptiles or invertebrates, amphibians or fish may be harmed during construction from sediment delivery or spills into the river. Mitigation may include seasonal restrictions on construction, preconstruction surveys, and minimizing disturbance to riparian vegetation. In addition, best management practices determined by the project stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) would be followed to avoid unintentional spills of sediment, fuel or chemicals into the river or riparian vegetation. These measures would be followed throughout the project.
Nesting habitat for federal threatened northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) is in dense redwood and coniferous forest. This habitat is located on slopes within the watershed, but no suitable nest habitat is located along the river in Calistoga. Thus, it is expected that the project would have no impact on this species.
The project could require informal consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for salmonid species and with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for California freshwater shrimp, California red-legged frog, and western pond turtle. Due to avoidance of impacts for all these species, the project would be unlikely to require formal consultation or preparation of Section 7 Biological Assessments.
Nesting Birds and Roosting Bats
The project area contains numerous trees suitable for nesting migratory and special-status birds and roosting bats, such as pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus) and hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus). If construction is conducted during nesting bird season (February 1 to August 31), and/or during bat maternity season (June through August) or bat hibernation season (November through March), and tree removal/trimming or vegetation clearing is required during these periods, nesting bird and/or bat habitat surveys would be needed prior to construction to confirm absence of nesting birds and roosting bats. Non-maternity bat roost trees may be removed using a bat-safe process over two days, while active bird nesting sites and maternity or hibernation bat roosts are avoided with a suitable buffer for the duration of nesting/rearing. Maternity or hibernation roosts are highly unlikely in the trees at the project site.
Wildlife Movement Corridors
The river corridor provides valuable habitat and movement paths for many common and special-status wildlife species. Mammal, reptile and amphibian species may move along streams and in riparian corridors, particularly at dawn and dusk. Bird and bat species may also move through riparian corridors foraging and seeking cover. While project work may temporarily block wildlife movement, these impacts would be temporary and would occur primarily during daylight hours when wildlife movement is less likely.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Greg Desmond, Planning and Building Director
Meeting: City Council - Jun 11 2024
Subject: Zoning Ordinance Amendment - ZOA 2023-2 Chapter 17.37 Accessory Dwelling Units
DESCRIPTION:
Consider an ordinance of the City of Calistoga amending regulations concerning ADU development for consistency of such development within the city’s municipal code and with state law.
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to adopt and waive further reading of Zoning Ordinance No. 2023-2 BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
In 2020, the City of Calistoga created Chapter 17.37 of the municipal code for ADU projects. The 2020 ordinance was not consistent with state mandates and conflicted with existing utility ordinance requirements in Chapters 13.04 Water Service or 13.08 Sewer Service, resulting in inconsistencies in how the city reviews and approves such projects.
Since creation of the ADU Ordinance in 2020, the city has approved 15 ADU projects with no review by the Public Works Department. This has created potential health and safety concerns pertaining to the supply of water and capacity of wastewater discharge as well as water and sewer laterals that are undersized and/or in very aged or poor condition (potentially presenting significant safety risks to supply, backups and/or fire safety). This is because the development standards adopted in the ADU Ordinance were inconsistent with CMC Chapters 13.04 Water Service and 13.08 Sewer Service and went beyond the minimum requirements under State Law.
The recommended ordinance amendments will bring CMC Chapter 17.37 Accessory Dwelling Units into conformance with state law, address public health and safety issues regarding water and sewer and ensure internal consistency within the Calistoga Municipal Code.
There are additional inconsistencies with Chapter 17.37 and the maximum allowable height for ADU structures that do not comply with State law.
The Planning Commission, at its March 13, 2024, meeting adopted Resolution 2024-6 (Attachment 2) recommending that the City Council approve Zoning Code amendments (ZOA 2023-2). The amendments will require that certain ADU projects be subject to utility connections and fees and that any health and safety concerns are addressed as well as other clarifying changes to be internally consistent with the city’s municipal code and with State law, including Assembly Bill 671.
Item #7.1.
The City Council, at its April 9, 2024, meeting continued this item and directed staff to provide more clarity regarding ADU development standards and to work with the Housing Committee to identify incentives to promote ADU development.
ANALYSIS:
The purpose of the proposed amendments is to establish internal consistency within the municipal code, to ensure adequate water and wastewater resources and to address potential health and safety issues associated with ADU development. Pursuant to Government Code section 65852.2, the city can require separate utility connections and charge a connection fee, for the following type of ADU development: New construction of an ADU structure that exceeds 150sf.
The proposed ordinance amendments (Attachment 1) will bring Chapter 17.37 Accessory Dwelling Units into conformance with Chapters 13.04 Water Service and 13.08 Sewer Service and be compliant with State law. Amendments show new wording in redline and removed language shown in strikeout. New definitions are also included in Sections 2 and 3 to further clarify the amendments.
Exempt ADU Projects
Most ADU development projects will not require separate utility connections. ADU projects DO NOT require separate utility connections if they meet the following criteria:
- Conversion of an existing detached accessory structure. - Conversion of existing space in a single-family dwelling (up to 50% of the size of the existing structure).
- Conversion of existing space in a single-family dwelling for a JADU of 500 sq. ft. - If applicant can show through sewer camera video inspection that lateral is in good condition. - If applicant can provide evidence that the existing water lateral is in good condition, adequate, size, pressure and flows to serve multiple units.
Connection fees and separate metering are not required for conversion of existing space and not required if new construction adds less than 150sf to an existing building or separate structure.
Height
The proposed amendments also address inconsistencies with the municipal code and State law.
The inconsistencies are minor with the most notable revision related to the maximum allowable height for ADU structures. CMC Chapter 17.37 currently limits ADU height to a maximum of 16 feet.
However, the State allows for the following height exceptions:
a. A maximum height of 18 feet is allowed on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit that is within .5 mile of a major transit stop. b. A maximum height of 18 feet is allowed to accommodate a detached ADU that is designed to share the same pitch of the primary dwelling unit.
c. A maximum height of 18 feet is allowable for detached ADUs on a lot with an existing or proposed multistory multifamily dwelling.
d. An attached ADU shall not exceed the height limitation that applies to the primary dwelling unit or 25 feet, whichever is lower.
Please see the Summary of ADU Regulations (Attachment 3) and ADU FAQ (Attachment 4) for additional information.
Item #7.1.
ADU Incentives
The Planning and Building Department has implemented a portion of the Housing Element action item A1.2-2 (Timeframe: August 2025). Those are noted below along with additional components of that action item.
a. Streamline processing procedures for ADU projects to ensure that applications are processed within a maximum of 60 days. (already enacted).
b. Promote pre-approved ADU plans to prospective ADU applicants. Pre-approved plans can come from the Napa/Sonoma ADU Collaborative (napasonomaadu.org). Use of these plans will reduce upfront costs to the applicant and reduce processing times. (already enacted). c. Modify ADU development standards (such as size, front setbacks, parking, height, and fee reductions) to be less restrictive than state law.
d. Consider providing reduced fees for ADUs that are deed-restricted to income levels less than 160% AMI not related to the resident of the primary dwelling. e. Monitor ADU production to ensure that Housing Element objectives (a minimum of 3 units per year for 24 total ADUs) are met.
The City of Calistoga’s Housing Committee has provided the following suggestions for incentivizing ADU development:
- Leverage the Affordable Housing Fund to subsidize deed restricted ADU projects. - Discount or waive utility connection fees for deed restricted ADU projects. - Discount or waive development impact fees for deed restricted ADU projects. - Modify the ADU ordinance to waive impact fees up for ADU projects up to 950 sq. ft.
Height -- Councilmember Gift also expressed interest in increasing the height limits to accommodate more two-story ADU projects which would make our ordinance more lenient than the State mandates. An example might be adding on to an existing detached garage. This is an additional incentive that the City Council could consider.
Staff will consider a package of ADU incentive recommendations for City Council consideration no later than the date as noted in Housing Element (08/2025).
CEQA STATUS:
The ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 21080.17 of the Public Resources Code relating to the construction of second units, which exempts the adoption of an ordinance by a city to implement the provisions of Government Code Section 65852.2. The Ordinance is also exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts minor alterations in land use limitations that will not result in any changes in land use or density. The ordinance updates the provisions of the City’s Municipal Code to conform with state law requirements relating to development of ADUs and Junior ADUs, and it does not change permitted land uses on any property nor increase the density of residential uses that property owners are permitted to develop on their property. Further, none of the Item #7.1.
exceptions to the Section 15305 exemption included in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines are applicable. Therefore, adoption of the ordinance is exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed amendments to Chapter 17.37 will ensure that any/all utility and/or infrastructure improvement fees associated with ADU development projects are properly calculated by the City and paid for by the applicant.

Accessory Dwelling Units
Frequently Asked Questions
May 2024
The City of Calistoga recognizes that accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) can provide affordable housing, accommodate extended family members and facilitate live-in caregivers.
The following information answers common questions about ADUs and JADUs. Further information is provided in the ADU & JADU Regulations Summary document. Please contact the Calistoga Planning and Building Department for further information at planning&[email protected] or 707.942.2763.
Accessory Dwelling Units
Q. What is an ADU?
A. An ADU is a dwelling unit located on the same parcel as an existing or proposed primary residence that provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation. “Accessory dwelling unit” includes a manufactured home.
Q. Must an ADU be attached to the single-family dwelling? A. No. An ADU may be a stand-alone structure. An ADU may also be created through the conversion of space within an existing single-family dwelling if it is provided with independent exterior access, or conversion of an existing accessory building, such as a garage or pool house.
Q. What is the difference between an ADU and a guest house? A. A guest house doesn’t have a fully-equipped kitchen, and cannot be rented or otherwise occupied as a separate dwelling. It is intended for temporary use by guests of the premises’ permanent occupants.
Q. Can an illegal building, conversion or addition be converted to an ADU? A. Yes, if it is legalized by obtaining a building permit and bringing it into conformance with all applicable codes.
Q. May an ADU be rented?
A. Yes, for periods of 30 days or more, if a business license is obtained by the property owner.
Q. What permits are required for an ADU?
A. Generally, only a building permit is needed for construction of an ADU. However, depending on a particular parcel’s circumstances, other permits may be required, such as a tree removal permit or an encroachment permit (to allow work in the public right-of-way).
Q. Are fire sprinklers required for an ADU?
A. Fire sprinklers are not required for an ADU if they are not required for the lot’s primary unit. For example, if the existing primary residence does not have fire sprinklers, the ADU need not install a fire sprinkler system. However, installation is strongly encouraged to protect its occupants.
ATTACHMENT 4
Item #7.1.
Q. What utility connection fees must be paid for an ADU?1 A.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Connie Cardenas, Admin. Services Director
Meeting: City Council - Jun 11 2024
Subject: ADOPTION OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2024/25 BUDGET AND ANNUAL
APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
DESCRIPTION:
Fiscal Year 24/25 Budget and Annual Appropriations Limit RECOMMENDATION:
1. Consider adopting the attached resolution for the City of Calistoga Fiscal Year 24/25 Budget
2. Consider adopting the attached resolution for the Annual Appropriations Limit for the Fiscal Year 24/25
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
On May 1, 2024, staff presented a draft budget to the City Council and community. Incorporating City Council feedback and updated financial information, staff is pleased to present a balanced budget for City Council consideration.
ANALYSIS:
The preparation of the budget document is a complex process in which all City departments participate. All City departments provided their proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 (FY 24/25) to maintain existing service levels including the increased costs of services and materials as well as proposed new services or projects. In the development of the FY 24/25 budget, staff made a number of revenue and expenditure assumptions based on projections. Finance thoroughly worked with departments and City Manager to compile, analyze, and summarize department information to submit a balanced proposed budget for FY 24/25.
General Fund
The primary operating fund is the General Fund. This is the largest and most flexible of City Funds.
All unrestricted revenues are recorded in the General Fund and is the fund that gives the City Council the most discretion in expenditures. Major General Fund revenue sources include and are not limited to transient occupancy tax, property tax, sales tax, and vehicle in-lieu fees. Other revenue sources include current fees for services, franchise fees, licenses and permits. An estimated revenue amount of $100,000 for Fairgrounds is included. This FY 24/25 budget projects that transient occupancy tax is the highest revenue source for the General Fund, reported at $11.5 million or 54.3% . Details of these revenues can be found in the attachments.
The proposed budget meets City Council's 50% reserve goal. Based on councilmember feedback during the May 1st workshop and subsequent council meetings along with information that staff has Item #8.1.
subsequently received. Various partial reductions in several capital projects are key inclusions included in the attached budget and are listed below.
$1.77 M for pavement maintenance
$650,000 for Fairgrounds Revitalization Director and grounds upkeep $300,000 approximately to cover the funding deficit above the grant amounts to continue with the Logvy Park project
$53,000 for website security and modernization (would include a limited number of pages translated into Spanish)
$40,000 for teen center
$30,0000 to purchase fire hose
$27,000 to purchase flatbed dump truck. This is one-third of cost. Water and Wastewater funds will contribute two-thirds of the cost.
$25,000 for Community Enrichment Grants
$15,000 for speed cushion program
$14,000 to purchase five fleet vehicles in lieu of leasing Changes in authorized positions
o +1 Deputy City Manager (not a net new position due to elimination of Recreation Director position)
o +1 Fairgrounds Revitalization Director (net new position) o - 1 Recreation Director (offsets Deputy City Manager position) o +1 Recreation Manager (net new position)
Some of the major budget changes compared to the May 1st draft that pay for any net increases in the above and which eliminated the General Fund $731,000 deficit as presented on May 1st include the following:
- $275,000 - elimination of lease payment for a new fire engine - $90,000 - elimination of fire training grounds
- $25,000 - elimination of the $25,000 Economic Diversity Grant +$431,000 - rollover of FY 23/24 capital project funding that is not needed until FY 24/25 + $100,000 - repayment to the General Fund from the Water Fund as partial loan repayment against the $1 million FY 22/23 General Fund loan to the Water Fund + $115,000 - repayment to the General Fund from the Wastewater Fund as partial loan repayment against the $500,000 FY 22/23 General Fund loan to the Wastewater Fund In addition to the General Fund being balanced, it also meets the City Council's policy of maintaining General Fund reserves of 50% ($9.8M) of General Fund operating (non-capital) expenditures.
However, the purchase of a fire engine will lower this amount. See below.
Fire Engine
The budget further contemplates the purchase of a new fire engine with the use of General Fund reserves. The purchase price is expected to be approximately $1.1M. However, upfront purchase of the vehicle prior to delivery will lower that amount to less than $1M. A zero-interest loan from the General Fund reserves to the General Fund operating budget will reduce the available reserves to approximately 44.4% ($8.7M). The loan would be paid back over five years (approximately $200,000/year), and sooner if General Fund revenues come in higher than expected or expenditures are lower.
Water and Wastewater Funds
Item #8.1.
The Water Operating Fund is operating at a net surplus in the amount of $286 thousand. The Wastewater Operating Fund has a surplus of $287 thousand. Surplus amounts will be transferred out to Water and Wastewater Capital Improvement Project Funds. The City updated the utility rates in December of 2023 and were affective March of 2024. Staff adjusted the budget based on the revised rates approved by the City Council.
Special Funds
The budgets for a variety of special funds are also included in the complete budget.
Appropriations Limit
State Law requires the City to set an appropriation limit, commonly referred to the Gann Limit. The limit is based on appropriations (formal authorization by the City Council to spend funds) only from proceeds of taxes, as defined by the law and statewide reporting guidelines. The appropriation limit amount is increased each year by a formula that uses a combination of percent changes in the Statewide Per Capita Income (PCI), City or County Population and Nonresidential assessed valuation.
The FY24/25 appropriations limit for the City is $166,718,310. This limit decreased from the prior year because a wrong percentage of 33.80% increase in nonresidential new construction was used in a prior year. This percentage may be used as an alternative to the change in California PCI for calculating a taxing agency's annual adjustment of its Appropriations Limit pursuant to Article XIIIB of the State Constitutions as Amended by Proposition 111 in June 1990. In FY 24/25 appropriations limit 21.06% nonresidential new construction was used.
The FY 24/25 budget appropriations of $16,982,449 are the portion that is funded from proceeds of taxes and is subject to the limit. The amount under the appropriations limit is $149,735,921 or 90%.
Attachment 2 of staff report includes the resolution and the report for the FY 24/25 adoption of appropriation limit.
CEQA STATUS:
The recommended action is not a project and therefore not subject to CEQA review.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
An adopted budget provides the financial resources to provide day to day services to the community and adequate funding for specific capital improvement projects.

Item #8.1.
June 11, 2024
Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
We are pleased to present the City of Calistoga’s Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget. We are proud to deliver a budget that incorporates the City’s commitments to fiscal responsibility, transparency, accountability, effective use of our resources, and high quality of service delivery to the residents of Calistoga, the business community, and the visitors.
This budget for the Fiscal Year 2024-25 includes many changes including the budget for Fairgrounds, increases in Risk Management, continued right sizing the organization to meet the growing demands, and creating adequate reserves to withstand any economic/financial challenges.
It is evident that the biggest growth in the revenues for the City of Calistoga (“City”) has been in the transient occupancy taxes (TOT). Calistoga is known as a “destination” city and the major economic base are the TOT revenues from the visitors staying in the City.
With the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic, over four years ago, the City made significant budgetary adjustments to mitigate losses. With general economic recovery including growth in TOT, City service levels have been restored or increased compared to pre-pandemic levels, including significant contributions to the capital improvement projects. These projects are described in the capital improvement section of the budget report.
The slight revenue growth in other categories was steady though relatively in-significant; however, the increase of inflation rates continues affecting the cost of goods and services, staffing shortages or increase in labor demands has resulted in an increase in the costs of providing services to the community. The proposed budget includes these adjustments to ensure the current level of service is met with the current resource allocation.
The City of Calistoga continues to set the right policies and framework for a stable and responsible future. The proposed budget for the Fiscal Year 2024-25 has been developed to be responsive to the needs of the citizens and businesses with a focus on public safety, training and development, and long-term fiscal sustainability to prepare for any potential economic downturn or major disasters.
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City and is used to account for most day-to-day activities. Revenue sources include, and are not limited to transient occupancy tax, property tax, sales tax, current fees for services, and licenses and permits. Details of proposed estimates for Fiscal Year 2024-25 can be found in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget document.
1 Item #8.1.
The proposed budget meets the City Council’s reserve goal of fund balance reported at fifty percent (50%) of the operating expenditures. The operating expenditure for the General Fund in the proposed budget is approximately $19.7 million. The reserve fund balance reported at the beginning of the Fiscal Year 2024-25 General Fund is approximately $9.8 million. In addition, the proposed budget includes the funds of approximately $2.8 million toward the Council Priorities. The monies in this fund will be designated towards capital improvement and other investment related activities.
GENERAL FUND REVENUES
The General Fund revenues and appropriations are illustrated in three categories:
• General Operating Fund: This accounts for the ongoing resources needed to deliver the day-to-day service to the citizens and businesses. The revenues in this category are general revenues, for example: property taxes, sales taxes, transient occupancy taxes, user fees and charges, and miscellaneous revenues.
• Capital Revenues: This accounts for revenues received or designated for the capital improvement projects. The revenues in this category are grants and contributions, voter approved measures, and donations.
• Council Priorities: This accounts for revenues from one-time sources including unrestricted fund balance above 50% reserves.
Below are the highlights of the General Fund Revenues:
I. Operating Revenues: The four revenue categories; property taxes, vehicle license fees, sales taxes, and transient occupancy taxes comprised approximately ninety percent (90%) of the total General Fund revenues of $18.0 million. Each of the major revenue sources is described further below:
• Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is projected to be $11.5 million, an increase of about $514,112 (4.5%) above the FY 2023-24 revised budget and the largest source of General Fund Revenue at 54.3%. This revenue source is driven by room rate and occupancy levels. It is important to note that some of the revenue increase can be attributable to the 400 Silverado that has been fully operational since Fiscal Year 2022-23.
• Property Tax is the second largest source of General Fund revenue and is expected to be $2.9 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 9.4% increase from FY 2023-24 estimates. The estimated increase in property tax revenues can be attributable to a combination of factors including the 21% increase in improvements to non-residential new construction that include significant increase in values for Calistoga Hotel Group, Pc Development, Crystal Geyser Water Company along with the annual increased assessed values. • Sales Tax: The City anticipates receiving $1.46 million in net sales tax revenue, the third largest source of General Fund Revenue. Sales tax revenues are projected to increase by $94 thousand in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 when compared to the current fiscal year. With the shift to online shopping, especially during the pandemic, allocations from the county tax pool are estimated to come in with small growth in sales tax receipts projected for the Fiscal Year 2024-25. 2 Item #8.1.
• Property Tax In Lieu Of Motor Vehicle License Fees is the fourth largest source of General Fund revenue and is expected to be $1.0 million, small increase of $924 from FY 2023-24 estimates. The estimated increase in the motor vehicle license fees is due to a growth in the general assessed valuation of the property values in the City of Calistoga. The chart below shows the General Fund revenue sources.
Chart 1
II. Capital Revenues: The capital revenue categories included in the proposed budget are the grants and contributions and transfers in from the voter-approved measures. • Grants and Contribution: The City of Calistoga team has been continually active and successful in obtaining funds from federal, state, and other partners to fund key strategic projects. The budget for the Fiscal Year 2024-25 includes the following project reimbursements from outside sources totaling $2.25 million:

3 Item #8.1.
• Transfers In/Other Financing Sources: Voter-approved measures, both Calistoga and the County, the State of California, and the Federal Government provide funding sources that are usually recorded in a separate fund for accounting purposes; however, funds are transferred to General Capital when adequate funds are accumulated to complete the large improvement projects. • Measure T: The City of Calistoga share of a voter-approved measure to fund certain capital infrastructure projects from the revenues it receives.
The City of Calistoga, as part of Napa County, passed a county-wide measure to provide funding for county-wide local street and road improvements. The City of Calistoga collects funds for Measure T in Fund 24 and transfers the funds over to the General Capital Improvement Fund to provide funding for the Pavement Maintenance projects. The budget includes a transfer of $700,000 from the Measure T funds to finance the Pavement Maintenance Project.
• Transportation: The Transportation Development Impact fee is imposed on new development to mitigate the impacts the new development will have on transportation infrastructure, like roadways and bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. The impacts are measured by either the number of units or square footage, depending on the type of development. A transfer from Transportation Fund (fund 57) for $600,000 is included in the budget to finance the Pavement Maintenace Project.
• State Gas Tax Fund and Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA) Fund: State Gas Tax and the RMRA tax revenues provide funding to local governments, counties, and the State of California funding to repair and rehabilitate roads, bridges, and other public infrastructure. The City of Calistoga receives these revenues from the State on an ongoing basis and deposits it in its own account for accounting purposes. The proposed budget for the Fiscal Year 2024-25 includes a contribution of $100,000 from the State Gas Tax Fund (fund 21) and $375,000 from the RMRA Fund (Fund 22) towards the Pavement Maintenance project in the General Capital Improvement Fund.
II. Council Priorities: The City Council took action to create a funding mechanism to fund some vital infrastructure and human capital needs for the City. This is the City Council’s strategic planning fund and projects in this fund are general type of projects as approved by the City Council. The two major sources of revenue for this fund are the unrestricted surplus from the General Operating Fund above the 50% of reserve fund balance and the one-time revenues that the Council can choose to add to this fund.
Funding budgeted is in the amount of $2.8 million to this fund as part of the proposed budget for the Fiscal Year 2024-25:
As the City strategizes for appropriating fiscal resources into the future, the City Council has expressed that deferred maintenance and public infrastructure are continued key priorities. This budget includes continuous spending on capital infrastructure including roads, water infrastructure, and wastewater system repair to replace aged utilities which have reached/surpassed useful life. To do this, the city utilizes realistic and conservative projections for both revenues and expenditures. The Water, Wastewater, Capital Improvement Projects, and Special Funds budgets are also included in this document. 4 Item #8.1.
GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES (APPROPRIATIONS)
The General Fund expenditures/appropriations are illustrated in three categories:
I. General Operating Fund: This accounts for the ongoing allocation of resources needed to deliver the day-to-day service to the citizens and businesses. The expenditures in this category are the services that are provided by the City from the “General” revenues. Examples of these revenue sources include police and public protection, fire suppression, planning and building services, culture and recreation, parks and road rehabilitation, the Calistoga Chamber of Commerce, and other nonprofit agencies or community groups. The expenditures for the General Fund are described in detail later in this document. The chart below illustrates the allocation of the General Fund Resources by functional areas:
Chart 2
II. Capital Expenditures: This accounts for capital improvement expenditures as presented in the proposed budget for the Fiscal Year 2024-25. The capital improvement budget includes the total cost of the project, including initial scoping, design, and construction costs; however, the actual expenditures occur over a multiyear period. The capital expenditures proposed for the Fiscal Year 2024-25 from the General Capital Projects accounts are listed in Table 2 below. 5 Item #8.1.

BUDGET PROCESS
The City of Calistoga normally creates a budget for a one-year fiscal period, which begins on July 1st and ends on June 30th. A local government budget is a plan to match existing resources with the needs of the community. The functions of local government stem from three levels of policy direction; federal, state, and local. Local government has the responsibility to provide basic public services such as maintaining streets and roadways, providing traffic management systems, maintaining parks, providing community services, and ensuring public safety.
12 Item #8.1.
City of Calistoga Fiscal Year 2024-25
Budget
The budget and this document are the collaboration in which the community through its elected leaders, commission members, public hearings and the advice of City staff decide upon the services it shall receive from its government under the constraint of resources available to it through taxes, fees, and transfers from the federal, state, and county governments. This document reflects the priorities of residents in the community while balancing revenues and expenditures over the long term.
The finance department, a division of the City Manager’s office, is responsible for coordinating all revenue estimates contained in the budget. Estimates are reached by analyzing revenue history, national and local economic trends, development patterns in the local economy, and projections by outside consultants. Revenue projections used in the annual budget are based on conservative assumptions to ensure the City has adequate financial resources to meet the obligations and complete all programs approved by the City Council within the course of the fiscal year. The Finance Department also coordinates the development of all expenditure budgets with respective departments, publishes the Budget books and prepares the staff reports.
The budget process starts in February based on the Council strategic goals and vision set forth for the year. The city manager and department directors discuss the priorities of the Council, the mandatory cost increases from labor agreements or regulatory agencies, the capital improvement needs, and the organizational adjustments needed for the new budget year. Department directors prepare their budgets and are then submitted to the Finance Director. Concurrently, the Finance Department projects revenues for the same period and develops a budget based on the authorized full-time equivalent positions.
Department meetings are then held with the City Manager and budgets are reviewed and adjustments are made to keep the budget in balance.
The proposed budgets are then submitted to the City Council and community for review and input. Based on feedback, the City Council passes a resolution at a June Council Meeting adopting a budget which reflects estimated revenues and appropriations of monies to be spent, which in turn gives each of the City’s departments the authority to spend money based on the adopted budget.
After the adoption of the budget, throughout the year reviews of the budget are periodically undertaken. Mid-year review in which revenues and expenditures are adjusted as necessary and presented to the City Council.

Revenue and Resource Estimates

Introduction
The City utilizes several techniques to forecast recurring revenues. These techniques allow for multiple variables to be considered in the development of the forecasts, including institutional forecasts; the expert opinion of the City’s sales and property tax consultant HdL Coren & Cone; various national, state, and local economic indicators; and established formulas that measure relationships between revenue categories and growth within the City.
The financial forecast is a planning tool to assist staff in identifying important trends and anticipate the longer-term consequences of budget decisions. The ability to model cost and revenue trends beyond the next budget year helps the City to make initiative-taking budget decisions early in an economic cycle.
The forecast is not a plan, but a model based on cost and revenue assumptions which are updated regularly as added information becomes available. Future cost projections based on known costs are dependable. Revenue forecasts on the other hand, are based on assumptions related to future economic conditions which come with uncertainty.
City staff use a variety of tools, including trend analysis, judgmental forecasting, and expert opinion. Trend data includes historical fiscal performance and historical and projected data modified for known past, current and the future. In the end, forecasts are based on judgment that incorporates information provided through various methods; known and potential legislative and political impacts; and national, state, and local conditions expected to affect local revenue sources.
The City’s total General Fund revenues for FY 2024-25 are projected to increase. The increase is approximately $778,422. The change is due to a combination of increases and decreases in revenues. Property tax and sales taxes are projected to increase by a total of $343,860 while transient occupancy taxes are projected to increase by $514,112.
Another increase for $147,123 in Franchise Fees, Building and Planning Service Fees and Other Reimbursements. A decrease in the general revenues is in the fire reimbursement line item in the amount of $221,815.

City of Calistoga Fiscal Year 24-25 Budget
Revenue and Resource Estimates
Transient Occupancy Tax
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a 12% tax applied to the cost of lodging stays. Factors influencing TOT revenues include business and leisure travel, local business activity and room rate increases. Transient taxes are the largest revenue for the General Fund and make up for 54.3% of all projected General Fund resources FY 2024-25.
Transient Occupancy Tax in prior years has been increasing over the years. During the month of October 2017, California Wildfires burned through multiple counties creating an evacuation situation in the City of Calistoga and closure of all businesses. Due to the closure of businesses, transient occupancy tax suffered a loss of approximately $350,000. In March 2019 COVID-19 pandemic hit the nation and a shelter in place took effect the middle of March. The City has experienced a rebound in the TOT revenues in the Fiscal Year 23-24. The Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget includes minimal growth.
Additional funding comes from a 2% voluntary assessment of lodging revenues. Of the 2% the County wide marketing program receives 74% of revenues while the local Chamber receives 25% and the City receives the remaining 1% for administration.

Revenue and Resource Estimates
Property Tax
Property tax is an ad valorem tax imposed on real property, such as land, buildings, and tangible personal property. Property tax revenue is collected by the County and allocated according to state law among cities, counties, school districts and special districts.
Calistoga property owners pay a basic tax equal to 1% of the assessed value on real property. Property tax accounts for 13.3% of all General Fund resources projected next year.
The City works with a property tax consultant in projecting property tax revenue, an estimate made with five factors in mind: property turnover rate, pricing and appeals exposure, new construction activity, Proposition 8 administrative reductions and Proposition 13’s annual inflation adjustment. Total property taxes are budgeted to increase in the Fiscal Year 2024-25. The increase in property tax revenues can be attributable to a combination of factors including the 21% increase in improvements to non-residential new construction. The total property taxes included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget is $2,909,192. The table below illustrates the property taxes for the current year and prior six years.

Revenue and Resource Estimates
Sales Tax
California sales tax is imposed on the total retail price of any tangible individual property (excluding a variety of state mandated exemptions), while use tax is imposed on the purchaser for eligible transactions when sales tax has not been collected. The sales and use tax rate in Napa County are currently 7.75% of which Calistoga receives 1% from the California Board of Equalization for transactions occurring within the City. Sales tax makes up 6.7% of next year’s overall General Fund resources.
The City works closely with the sales tax consultant, HDL, Coren & Cone, in projecting sales tax revenue. Based on HdL’s analysis of the trend in year-to-date tax receipts and an examination of local business data, the consultant anticipates the City will receive sales tax revenue of $1.4 million in the Fiscal Year 2023-24. For FY 2023-24 revenues are anticipated to increase by $94,292 or 6.9% when compared to the current FY 2023-
24. The primary reason for the increase is due to a shift in the sales tax revenue allocation from the Countywide pool. The total sales taxes included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget is $1,460,111. The table below illustrates the property taxes for the current year and prior six years.
25 Item #8.1.

Revenue and Resource Estimates
Other Taxes
As part of the State Budget Act of 2004, the legislature reduced motor vehicle license fee (VLF) revenue allocations to cities, replacing this funding with additional property tax allocations that change proportionately with the City’s annual assessed valuation (property tax in-lieu of VLF revenue).
Beginning in FY 2018-19 VLF revenues are projected in funds from other agencies thereby reducing the amount of property tax in the graph below. The City receives approximately 20¢ of every dollar collected with larger shares going to local schools, community colleges and Napa County.
For FY 2024-25 revenues are anticipated to increase by $924 or .9% when compared to the current FY 2023-24. The primary reason for the increase is due to an increase in the assessed valuation used to calculate the VLF fees. The total VLF fees included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget is $1,027,042. The table below illustrates the property taxes for the current year and prior six years.
