Re: July 9, 2024 City Council Meeting
Fairgrounds Great Lawn Rental Fees
Agenda Item: 6.8
Via:: [email protected]
To all interested parties:
As a resident & business owner in Calistoga I am inquiring as to additional information and clarifications regarding the Proposed Fairgrounds Great Lawn Rental Fees. I make this request in order to help me determine the feasibility of hosting events & experiences on this property.
As a highly experienced event promoter & producer of events for between 200-20,000 guests at venues throughout the Bay Area for more than 4 decades, I possess a strong background in public assemblage, events, & marketing campaigns from both lessor & lessee perspectives..
My questions and comments are as follows:
(1) Will there be a non-profit rate? If so, what will this fee be? (2) What will be the fees, if any, for load-in & load-out days? Bay Area venue policies vary in this regard. Some venues do not charge for these non-event dates. Some charge a 50% fee for load-in days. Most venus do not charge for a typical load-out day unless there is an unusually large or complex factors.
Item #3.1.
(3 )Will there be a “booking calendar” for prospective lessees to place “courtesy holds” on available dates? Will there be a “challenge process” when multiple parties have “courtesy holds” on the same date? If so, what will it be?
(4) Will there be an “event coordinator” on site at all times to represent the Fairgrounds & the City? This representative should possess: keys to the property, an excellent working knowledge of the entire grounds, and is well-versed in emergency procedures and policies?
(5) What is the policy regarding insurance? Will it be the same as at other City properties? As I understand Calistoga being “self-insured” with other additional entities, will it be possible to be named as an additionally insured (for a fee) on the City’s master policy?
Thank you in advance for your time & consideration in these matters. I can be reached at my contact info that follows. I am more than happy to assist or discuss with members of your team any matters or considerations that may arise.
Now the fun part begins. Bringing the Fairgrounds back to life! It’s a great opportunity to significantly affect the lives of another generation + of residents & visitors to Calistoga. I & the resources of Bark4Arts stand ready to help in any way we can.
Respectfully,

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Good morning,
I'm writing to you from The Bungalows at Calistoga. There is construction behind our property that has been disturbing our guests since early as 7 am with big machinery that shakes the whole building making them believe that it is an earthquake. I have guests that stay there with kids as well, like for example this week. I have been in contact with the project manager for the construction and he let me know that the city allows them to work with big machinery as early as 7 am. This has been going on since last year and we had to refund a few customers due to the disturbance by the construction. I have a couple of questions:
1.- Is there a city code that allows any company to work with big machinery as early as 7 am?
2.- What is the process to file a complaint for the business lost due to this construction?
3.- Is there anyone in the city that I can contact directly for this ongoing issue? Thank you in advance,
Gianfranco.

I would like to register my very strong support for Gerry Turgeon as a new member of the Planning Commission.
From my experience of knowing Gerry Turgeon, I believe he will thoughtfully evaluate all situations that come before the Planning Commission and make a decision based on what is best for the long term health of Calistoga, and not be swayed by big money, who are often eager to make money rather than look at the long term consequences to the residence of Calistoga.
Yours

I am writing this in support of Lucretia Marcus, whom I have known fit 5 years. She has always shown herself dedicated to the wellbeing of Calistoga, and prepared to carefully listen to all sides of a problem before reaching a conclusion.
I believe she would be an excellent candidate for the vacancy in the planning commission.

Good morning,
My name is Gianfranco from The Bungalows at Calistoga located at 207 Wappo Avenue and we are looking to beautify Wappo Avenue. We have noticed that Wappo Avenue has a lot of potential and we would like to support the city to do that.
Here are a few things that we would like to do:
1.- Pressure washed the sidewalk.
2.- Remove all of the dead grass on the sidewalk next to the road as it can be a fire hazard and change it to gravel stones.
3.- Trim and shape current trees, plant new trees if needed.
4.- Implement dim lights ground up to highlight the trees and light the sidewalk.
Please let us know who is the best person to talk more about this and how could get this going with permission from the city.
Thanks,
Gianfranco.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Mitch Celaya, Chief
Meeting: City Council - Jul 09 2024
Subject: CHP Cannabis Tax Funding Grant Acceptance
DESCRIPTION:
Authorize the Calistoga Police Department to accept a California Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Award in the amount of $77,606.15.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to accept the California Cannabis Tax Fund Program award.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
On April 25, 2024, the Calistoga Police Department (CPD) submitted a grant application to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) for the purpose of conducting education, prevention, and the enforcement of laws relating to driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis and cannabis products. The grant is funded by the California Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program designed to provide financial assistance to Small and Mid-size Law Enforcement agencies. The grant period is fiscal year 2024-25 and no matching funds or financial obligations are required by the police department. On June 7, 2024, CPD received a letter from the California Highway Patrol Enforcement and Planning Division advising CPD was awarded $77,606.15 (see attached Grant Application and Award Letter).
The intent of the grant program is to educate the public regarding the dangers of impaired driving, enforce impaired driving laws on the roadway, and improve police department's effectiveness through training and development of new strategies. CPD's obligations and requirements under this grant are the following:
Conduct eight DUI Saturation Patrol activities, two per quarter. Conduct two DUI Checkpoints, one in the first quarter and one in the fourth quarter. Conduct six educational presentations at the high school, to include Parent Night presentations.
Submit quarterly reports on grant progress and achievements.
Awarded grant funds are approved to fund and purchase the following to support grant activities (see Grant Budget Summary for details):
Officer overtime required to conduct all grant enforcement activities. Officer overtime required to conduct all presentations and educational outreach activities. Provide all officers additional traffic enforcement training. Two Solar Electronic Message Boards
Item #6.2.
One pallet of traffic cones (approximately 200 traffic cones) Fifteen Traffic vests
Two pop-up road signs
Brochures, flyers, and any materials needed for or directly support grant presentations and educational outreach activities.
The grant period began July 1, 2024, and ends June 30, 2025. CHP is the State department managing the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program and requires the City's governing body to authorize CPD to receive the grant award (see attached Resolution).
ANALYSIS:
Calistoga has two state highways traversing through its jurisdiction and is at the crossroads of Napa County, Lake County, and Sonoma County. This has contributed to and the source of traffic complaints that include the reporting of drunk driving, reckless driving, and speeding. CPD does not have the financial resources or equipment to adequately address these complaints. This grant will provide CPD the funding to purchase equipment and conduct DUI specific enforcement, community education, and training to all CPD officers.
CEQA STATUS:
Not Applicable
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. Grant Award funds all overtime salaries, equipment, and materials to support grant activities.

Calistoga is a rural city located at the northern most point of the Napa Valley. Calistoga is a prime tourist destination.
We are home to approximately 5200 residents with a population of 51% Latino and approximately 85% of our school age population is Latino. Our city is located at the crossroads to two major counties of Lake and Sonoma, which are known for major marijuana cultivation and growth which our youth population is exposed to. We have limited public transportation resources which is a contributing factor to impaired driving and traffic related incidents.
We have not had the funding to effectively address the ongoing traffic related issues in the City of Calistoga. We have a high volume of DUIrelated offenses within city limits due to being located in the heart of wine country in Napa County.
We have ongoing issue of unlicensed adult and teen drivers with the need for more education and community outreach on the topic.
The proposed solution to these issues would be to effectively conduct DUI enforcement (checkpoints), roving saturation patrol, educational outreach and parent/teen presentations. We need these specific efforts to be conducted to make an impact on the community of Calistoga and the residents who reside here.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Derek Rayner, Public Works Director/City Engineer Meeting: City Council - Jul 09 2024
Subject: Riverside Ponds Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) Match Commitment Letter for $2,188,840
DESCRIPTION:
Consideration of a Resolution authorizing staff to submit a match commitment letter to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, in the amount of $2,188,840 to fund the repair of Calistoga’s Riverside Ponds and Headworks Improvement Project located at the Dunaweal Wastewater Treatment Plant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider adopting resolution.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The Riverside Ponds and Headworks Improvement Project at the Dunaweal Wastewater Treatment Plant will replace the existing Riverside Ponds with two new lined ponds, relocate ponds out of the flood plain and stabilize the Napa Riverbank adjacent to them. Additionally, the project includes stabilizing Simmons Creek riverbanks adjacent to our headworks facility. The project will bring the city into compliance with our Cease-and-Desist order issued by the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board, in addition to providing protection of this critical infrastructure.
Staff applied for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) from the Valley and Butte Fires that occurred in 2015. The city received $4,175,488 in grant funding which included a required local city match of 25% ($3,131,616 covered by the grant and the required local match of $1,043,872).
The project was advertised in 2023 and bids were opened in January 2024. The Engineer’s Estimate for the project was $3,600,000, with a bid alternative of $1,000,000. The low base bid was $5,056,615 which was significantly higher than the grant amount. The total construction cost with a bid alternate was $7,836,615 ($5,056,615 base bid, $2,020,000 alternate bid, and $760,000 construction management). The city did not have enough funding to complete the bid alternates and only awarded the base bid, a contingency, and the construction management amount on February 6, 2024, in the amount of $6,566,615. The awarded amount included $3,434,999 ($6,566,615-$ 3,131,616) local match which was $2,391,127 ($3,434,999-$1,043,872) higher than the required 25% commitment.
Staff applied for an additional $4,579,869 grant funding to pay for the additional local funds that were used to award the construction contract. The additional grant fund will also allow the city to complete the bid alternative items that the city was not able to award with the base bid.
Item #6.4.
The previous match commitment of $1,043,872, was based on initial project estimates that were lower in cost. The actual project cost to complete the base bid and alternative bids was revised to $8,755,357 where the grant pays $6,566,517 (75%) and City match is $2,188,840 (25%).
The recommended resolution authorizes staff to submit a revised match commitment letter to FEMA/CalOES in the amount of $2,188,840 and rescind the previous match commitment letter in the amount for $1,043,872.
CEQA STATUS:
The CEQA Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration has been completed for the project.
FEMA/CalOES completed NEPA for the project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Council approved $6,566,615, a budget adjustment for the Riverside Ponds and Headworks Improvement project on February 6th, 2024, which included $3,434,999 match commitment.
The budget adjustment of $1,057,317 included transferring $500,000 from the general fund loan to sewer enterprise, $50,000 from Master Services Agreement Account No. 13-5661-4915, $257,317 from Sewer Main Extension Reimbursement Account No. 13-5629-4915, $250,000 from Equalization Basin Liner Project Account No. 13-5660-4915 The proposed commitment amount of $2,188,840 is lower than what the city has already budgeted for this project.
The additional grant funding will allow the City to pay back the loan to the general fund and lower the local fund contribution to this project.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Greg Desmond, Planning and Building Director
Meeting: City Council - Jul 09 2024
Subject: Second Reading - Zoning Ordinance Amendment - ZOA 2023-2 Chapter
17.37 Accessory Dwelling Units
DESCRIPTION:
Second Reading - Considering 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 #6.5.
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 #6.5.
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 #6.5.
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.

The Amendment 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 exceptions to the Section 15305 exemption included in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines are applicable. Therefore, adoption of the Amendment is exempt from the provisions of CEQA.

Steven Pinsky Planning Commission application addendum page 1 of 1
I am applying to fillthe next vacancy on the Calistoga Planning Commission. I am passionate about keeping Calistoga and its small town character while providing opportunities for managed growth that supports development of housing opportunities for our local workforce that currently cannot afford to live here due to the lack of qualifying housing stock.
In addition to my 50 plus years as a business owner and manager with over 100 employees I am a seasoned real estate investor and developer of commercial properties. I have served on the Calistoga Housing Advisory Committee for the past 18 plus months. As a member of that committee I helped with the creation of the newly adopted Housing Element portion of the city’s General Plan. I am also familiar with the priorities that the City Council recently adopted which includes the implementation of the Housing Element.

City of Calistoga
STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Mitch Celaya, Chief
Meeting: City Council - Jul 09 2024
Subject: 1429 Lincoln Avenue Parking Lot Lease Agreement Amendment DESCRIPTION:
Consider adopting a Resolution to authorize the approval of a parking lot Lease Agreement Amendment to an existing 2019 Lease Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
On October 2, 2017, the City of Calistoga entered into a parking lot lease agreement with Calistoga Ventures, LLC, c/o David Jackson in a response to the Lincoln Avenue Bridge replacement project to address the loss of public parking behind the Calistoga Fire Department. Caltrans used the parking lot as a staging area during the Lincoln Avenue Bridge project. The intent of the lease agreement was temporary until the completion of the bridge project but allowed for an extension beyond the completion of the bridge project through a negotiated new lease agreement. This agreement required an annual rent of $1, one parking space reserved for David Jackson, and the City to maintain the parking lot only for public parking use (see attached 2017 Lease Agreement).
Upon the completion of the Lincoln Bridge project the City wished to extend the lease agreement.
On September 1, 2019, the City entered into a new lease agreement with Calistoga Ventures, LLC.
This agreement had a term of six months with a rent payment of $1, a reserved parking stall for David Jackson, and the same maintenance and use conditions as the 2017 lease agreement (see attached agreement). This agreement allowed for an automatic annual renewal upon the anniversary of the Commencement Date, unless a written notice of termination provided six months in advance. This lease agreement was timely given the onset of Covid and the introduction of parklets on Lincoln Avenue where parking spaces to were taken out of the Lincoln Avenue parking inventory. The number of leased parking spaces well exceeded the parking spaces removed as a result of the parklets.
In December 2023, David Jackson notified the City of wanting to modify the Lease or terminate it.
Mr. Jackson's primary modification was to change the rent requirement from $1 per term to $1000.00 per month to offset his costs associated with the property located at 1429 Lincoln Avenue.
As a result of unanticipated delays due to staffing vacancies this matter is now being addressed by submitting an amendment to the current lease agreement (see attached 2024 Lease Amendment).
The significant changes from the 2019 Lease Agreement are the following:
$1000.00 monthly rent
Item #6.7.
12 month lease term
All other aspects and obligations are the same particularly to the city's responsibility to maintain all aspects of the parking lot for public parking use and 6 months' notice of termination by either party.
ANALYSIS:
The City of Calistoga needs adequate parking spaces to address needs of the community and businesses particularly during holidays, special events, weekends, and during tourism seasons where an increase in parking demands occur. Effective January 2024 new State legislation was signed by the Governor that restricts parking at any intersection whether crosswalks are marked or unmarked. Vehicles can no longer park within 20 feet of an intersection or be subject to a parking citation as of January 2025. This new parking legislation will reduce the parking space inventory across Calistoga and increase the need for additional legal parking spaces.
A challenge in determining and projecting parking needs in Calistoga is the lack of data available specific to parking inventory, parking usage, and type of parking needed. Unfortunately, forecasting parking needs is based on anecdotal information. A parking study is needed to more accurately address and project future parking needs.
The City has impact fees available to cover the increased cost of a modified lease to ensure these additional spaces are available to the general public to support the local businesses.
CEQA STATUS:
Not Applicable
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Transfer $12,000 of funds from Parking Fee Fund #55-3261 to General Fund for FY2024/25.

AGREEMENT WITH CALISTOGA VENTURES, LLC, C/O DAVID JACKSON FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $1000 PER MONTH, FUNDED BY THE PARKING FEE FUND, 55-3261
WHEREAS, the City of Calistoga has a 2019 lease agreement with Calistoga Ventures, LLC, to utilize the parking lot spaces located at 1429 Lincoln Avenue, Calistoga California, 94515; and
WHEREAS, the parking lot is located in the business district of Calistoga and contains eighteen parking spaces and one parking space for disabled person’s parking; and
WHEREAS, the current lease agreement term is six months which automatically renews upon the anniversary of the commencement date and requires payment of $1 for each term; and
WHEREAS, Calistoga Ventures, LLC, requested a modification to the lease agreement, increasing the rental obligations from $1 per six-month term to $1000.00 per month and extending the term to twelve months to include an automatic renewal upon the commencement date subject to cancelation by either party with six months’ notice; and
WHEREAS, the City of Calistoga needs adequate parking spaces to address needs of the community and businesses particularly during holidays, special events, and weekends when an increase in parking demands occur; and WHEREAS, new State legislation reduces the parking spaces inventory due to expanding limitations on parking near intersections, thereby increasing the need for new parking spaces; and
WHEREAS, the City of Calistoga believes the need to continue leasing the additional parking spaces is important to address the need for adequate parking and support the businesses and vitality of the city,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Calistoga hereby authorizes the City Manager to execute the Lease Agreement Amendment to the existing 2019 Lease Agreement to lease the parking lot located at 1429 Lincoln Avenue, Calistoga California 94515 in the amount of $1000 per month funded from the Parking Fee Fund #55-3261.

LEASE AGREEMENT
This Lease Agreement (“Lease”) is made and entered into as of October 2, 2017, (“Effective Date”) by and between Calistoga Ventures, LLC, c/o David Jackson (“Landlord”) and the City of Calistoga, a municipal corporation (“Tenant”).
1. PROPERTY.
1.1 Property. Landlord is in possession of certain property located at 1429 Lincoln Avenue, Calistoga, California, 94515, (APN 011-205-007) legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference and depicted on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference ("Property").

2. TERM.
2.1 Term. The "Term" of this Lease shall begin on 10/02/17 (the “Commencement Date”) and shall continue until the completion of the Lincoln Avenue Bridge Project. The Lincoln Avenue Bridge Project shall be considered complete when the existing public parking lot behind the Calistoga Fire Station has been vacated by CalTRANS and is re-opened for public parking. Tenant may terminate the tenancy by giving written notice on any date to the Landlord at least 30 days prior to the intended termination date. This Lease shall be deemed terminated on the date set forth in the written notice.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at the following address: 3468 HWY 128, Calistoga, CA 94515, or at such other address as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing to Tenant for the payment of Rent, annual rent in the amount of one dollar ($1.00), in advance, on the ?rst day of each calendar year.

4.1 Tenant. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, maintain commercial general liability and property insurance or an insurance equivalent (including but not limited to that offered to a municipality through and by a joint powers authority, a self-insurance pool of liability coverage authorized pursuant to California Government Code Section 6500 or similar collective) insuring against liability and personal property damage. Tenant may also carry such other insurance as Tenant may deem prudent or advisable, in such amounts and on Such terms as Landlord shall determine.
5. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
5.1 Tenant’s Obligations. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall maintain the parking lot portion of the Property, not the building, in good condition and repair. Tenant shall make any required repairs in an expeditious manner should the need for such repairs arise.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Rachel Melick, Parks & Recreation Director
Meeting: City Council - Jul 09 2024
Subject: Fairgrounds Great Lawn Rental Fees
DESCRIPTION:
Fairgrounds Great Lawn Rental Fees
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider adopting a Resolution that establishes a rental fee, refundable deposit, and application fee for usage of the Great Lawn at the Fairgrounds property.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
With ownership and the associated operational responsibility of the Fairgrounds by the City of Calistoga anticipated to occur in July of 2024, staff has received requests for usage and rental of the Great Lawn located next to the Crop Building (art center). Staff is recommending the adoption of rental fees for the Great Lawn.
ANALYSIS:
Prior to the fairgrounds property ceasing operation, there were various groups that rented the great lawn for different special events. These included but were not limited to:
1. Events such as concerts, car shows, circuses, and athletic events
2. Vehicle staging
3. Parking for special event producers
As the city approaches ownership ofthe Fairgrounds property, staff have begun receiving requests for rental and usage of the Great Lawn property located near the Art Center. In evaluating appropriate fees for the usage of the lawn, staff analyzed fees at similar properties to determine an appropriate fee. Some items that were taken into consideration were:
1. The size of the field in comparison to other properties
2. Amenities available to the renter
3. Desireabililyt of the location
4. City staff time involved across city departments
5. Daily rental vs. hourly fee
At this time, staff are recommending a fee of $1,200 per 24-hour rental for usage of the Great Lawn.
The recommended $1200 fee is consistent with other surrounding agencies’ 24-hour rental rate, with spaces of similar likeness and size. The recommended fee considers the expectation that the renter will arrange for bathroom facilities and contracted services for event-generated trash pick-up.
Item #6.8.
Staff recommends renting on a 24-hour basis, as many events historically taking place at the property would span an entire day or multiple days. A 24-hour based rental rate would offer a less complex approach administratively, therefore eliminating some staff time.
In addition to the daily rental fee, staff is recommending a deposit fee and an application fee. The deposit fee would cover any damage incurred by the user while the application fee is an administrative fee to cover the cost of processing the application. These fees are recommended as follows:
1. $800 refundable deposit fee
2. $50 application fee
The fees (daily rental rate, refundable deposit, and application fee) for rental of the Great Lawn will be added to the City's Fee Schedule (most recently termed "Book of Fees").
CEQA STATUS:
No CEQA review is required as part of this intial direction to staff on next steps.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
At this time, it is unknown how many rentals will take place throughout the year making revenue estimates difficult. There will be administrative costs incurred in renting the space. However this should be offset by the application and rental fees.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Yudiana Galvan, City Clerk
Meeting: City Council - Jul 09 2024
Subject: Revising the City's Conflict of Interest Code
DESCRIPTION:
Revising the City's Conflict of Interest Code to update and possibly add new positions that may be required to file Annual Statements of Economic Interest. Public input is welcome, please send your comments to [email protected] by July 30th at 2 p.m.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider approving that the City Manager and City Clerk begin a revision process of the City's Conflict of Interest Code and its designated positions to adopt an updated one at the following Regular City Council Meeting.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The California Political Reform Act, (Gov. Code Sections 81000-91014) requires many local public officials and employees to file public, personal financial disclosure reports known as Statements of Economic Interests - FPPC Form 700.
Under the Act, cities are required to adopt and implement a separate Conflict of Interest Code, which is to be updated and adopted every 2 years. Designated Employees, Commissioners, and Elected Officials must file Statements of Economic Interests. The designated filers and the types of economic interests they must disclose are listed in the City of Calistoga's Conflict of Interest Code.
The city adopted the current Conflict of Interest Code.
The City Clerk, as Filing Officer, administers the Conflict of Interest Code at the local level and notifies elected officials and each designated employee and commissioner of his or her filing obligation. Officials designated in the Conflict of Interest Code are required to file an Assuming Office Statement when they assume a designated position, an Annual Statement each year and a Leaving Office Statement within thirty days of resignation or termination. Filers must sign the Form 700 under penalty of perjury. Once filed, the form is a public document and must be made available to the public upon request.
ANALYSIS:
The City's current Conflict of Interest Code was adopted on April 21, 2020 by resolution No. 2020-27 (Attachment 1) and is overdue for updating. Specifically, there are some new positions that may need to be added as a designated position.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Greg Desmond, Planning and Building Director
Meeting: City Council - Jul 09 2024
Subject: Roles, Responsibilties, and Rules in the Caltrans Right of Way on Lincoln Avenue
DESCRIPTION:
Roles, Responsibilities, and Rules in the Caltrans Right of Way on Lincoln Avenue RECOMMENDATION:
Consider affirming staff recommendations related to regulating, permitting, enforcing and changing various codes on Lincoln Avenue or provide alternative direction BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Following the pandemic many questions have been raised about various objects (signs, planters, tables, chairs, etc.) and activities (outdoor dining, wine tasting, sidewalk sales, etc.) occurring in downtown on the Lincoln Avenue sidewalks. Many of these questions are a result of public complaints about certain objects and activities in combination with staff's desire to consistently comply with the City's agreements with Caltrans and with the state codes that Caltrans follows. For at least a year staff has been posing various questions to Caltrans and seeking clarification of responsibilities, purview, and expectations for each of our respective agencies. This report speaks to the many nuances of the answers and describes actions proposed by staff which include both immediate-term and mid-term steps, including an option to obtain more local control about uses allowed on the Lincoln Avenue sidewalks.
ANALYSIS:
Current Roles, Responsibilities, and Rules
Right of Way
According to Caltrans, Caltrans right-of-way on Lincoln Avenue extends generally face-of-building to face-of-building. That means that the roadway and all sidewalks are governed by Caltrans and their regulations, relevant state codes, etc., and not by the City.
Staff accepts the above assertion about the right-of-way at face-value. Looking for concrete "proof" would require looking at title reports for every single property and hiring a surveyor to create a definitive map. Staff is not recommending pursuing this route due to the time and cost associated with such work. Should individual property owners wish to conduct this work for their property, the City will adjust any permitting and/or enforcement processes accordingly based on any professionally produced documentation that demonstrates the Caltrans right-of-way is more narrow than at the face of a particular building.
Item #8.2.
Existing Agreements
The city has four existing agreements with Caltrans about the City's role, rights, and responsibilities relative to the Caltrans right-of-way.
1) Routine Encroachment Permit Delegation Agreement
This agreement was signed in January 1993 (Resolution 93-5) and delegated issuing certain types of encroachment permits in the State right-of-way to the City. According to the terms of this agreement, the City may issue the following routine encroachment permits on behalf of Caltrans for the entire right-of-way including both streets and sidewalks:
Signs, marquees and awnings (this include fixed and temporary signage, i.e. anything in the City's local sign code including A-frame signs which are illegal in Calistoga) Banners and decorations (holiday decorations are an example) Curbs, gutters and sidewalks (for repairs only and excluding all handicap ramps) Roof drains and through the sidewalk curb drains
Pedestrian protection (barricades or canopies) (these are for temporary use related to construction)
Traffic counts
Single family driveways (multiple family and commercial driveway excluded) 2) Maintenance Agreement
This agreement was signed in January 1993 (Resolution 93-4) and assigned certain maintenance activities along Foothill Blvd. within the City limits and Lincoln Avenue from Foothill Blvd. to Silverado Trail to the City. These maintenance activities include:
Cleaning, maintaining and repairing (not reconstrucing or improving) curb, gutter, sidewalk and storm drain facilities.
Debris removal.
Maintenance and electricity bills for all electrical facilities except for the signal heads at intersections.
The cost of maintenance for the above will be shared 50-50 by the City and Caltrans. The City will be reimbursed up to $3,800 annually for the above maintenance.
Per the maintenace agreement, trimming and removal of trees, pest control, and repair and control of vegetation to be made by abutting property owners. This follows the city policy and the State Streets and Highways Code as is followed throughout the entire city. 3) Sharing cost of Electrical Facilities Agreement
This agreement was executed in January 1993 and revised in August 2021 and includes the cost of maintenance and electricity bills for the traffic signals at Lincoln Ave.-Washington St. and Petrified Forest Rd.-Foothill Blvd. intersections. According to this agreement City will pay the electricity bills for the signals at both intersections and the maintenance cost of the signals at Petrified Forest Rd.- Foothill Blvd. intersection. Caltrans will be responsible for maintenance cost of signals at Lincoln Ave.-Washington St. intersection.
4) Vine Trail Maintenance
The City also has a project specific maintenance agreement with Caltrans related to maintenance of the Vine Trail along Lincoln Avenue, from Silverado Trail to Brannan Street. The Vine Trail Maintenance Agreement was executed in June 2019 and included a section of Vine Trail along Item #8.2.
Motor Lodge frontage. The agreement was amended in September 2023 for the Lincoln Apartments project and extended the maintenance section to Brannan Street.
Alcohol in the Right of Way
Both the City and the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) have authority related to alcohol services and/or consumption outside of buildings. The ABC has certain types of permits, licenses, and requirements that allow and/or restrict the sales and consumption of alcohol outside of a business, under an authorized issued ABC license.
However, Chapter 9.08 of the City's municipal code prohibits consumption of alcoholic beverages in public. We interpret this to include the Lincoln Avenue sidewalks even if they are not technically owned by the City and outside an approved ABC license privileges.
Use Permits
The City does provide provisions for sidewalk dining and consumption of alcohol within the public right of way per Chapter 17.33 of the municipal code. This process requires administrative approval from the Planning Department and subsequent approval by ABC. Given Caltrans ownership of the Lincoln Avenue sidewalk right-of-way, the only sidewalk dining permits issued have been for restaurants located on Cedar and Washington Streets. Some types of businesses on Lincoln Avenue, primarily tasting rooms, require use permits which limit such uses to the interior of a tenant space, unless there is privately owned space outside of the sidewalks and the business has obtained any necessary City and ABC permits. The City's jurisdiction does not cross the businesses threshold onto the Lincoln Avenue sidewalk. The City has full authority to enforce that permitted uses are contained to inside the building and will continue to exercise that authority on a complaintdriven basis.
Signage
The City has been expressly authorized to permit signage in the Caltrans right-of-way (see "existing agreements"). Note that in the City's municipal code A-frame signs are prohibited pursuant to Chapter 17.58, Section 17.58.020(B)(C). Staff is not recommending changing this prohibition and will enforce on a complaint basis.
Immediate Next Steps
Following the July 9 City Council meeting, staff plans to continue to conduct code enforcement activities on a complaint-driven basis where expressly allowed by Caltrans subject to any different direction from the City Council. This includes enforcing use permits (preventing alcohol service on the sidewalks, sometimes in conjunction with the ABC) and signage such as A-frames. Any current outstanding code enforcement cases will be reviewed to determine if the enforcement is in Caltrans' jurisdiction or the City's jurisdiction. The City will continue to process complaints within the City's jurisdiction and terminate enforcement on any matters that are in Caltrans' jurisdiction. The City will continue to accept and investigate code enforcement matters based on a complaint basis. All other complaints, including complaints about tables, chairs, planters, or the path of travel (i.e. ADA concerns about furnishings blocking the path of travel), should be submitted directly to Caltrans' customer service website at https://csr.dot.ca.gov/
In addition, also following the July 9 city council meeting, staff will create an index of where and how to submit specific code enforcement complaints and post the information on our website.
Item #8.2.
Mid-term Next Steps
If the City Council desires to expand the City's jurisdiction related to objects and uses on the Lincoln Avenue sidewalks, lobbying at the state level is necessary. There is currently no way for Caltrans to provide additional jurisdiction to the City. Staff recommends coordinating meetings between City Council representatives and our elected state officials to occur in September. The City would be seeking an additional agreement with Caltrans which would allow an 'airspace lease' of specific sections of the Lincoln Avenue sidewalks. This would allow the City to establish a program in which business owners could, through a yet to be determined process, sublet sidewalks in front of their businesses from the City for use as needed.
Should that effort be successful, staff will return to the City Council seeking direction on how you would see a public/private partnership working related to use of the sidewalks (cleanliness, etc.) and recommending how we might modify existing City codes to allow certain uses (such as alcohol service) and certain furnishings (such as tables or chairs) after the business obtains the appropriate ABC permit or license (if alcohol is involved) and after obtaining approval from the City.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Significant staff time from multiple departments and some attorney time will be necessary for all next steps in the process.
CEQA STATUS:
No CEQA review is required as part of this intial direction to staff on next steps.
