Hello
I would like to register my strong dissatisfaction with the excessively loud, amplified music & announcing at the fairgrounds on Sunday, April 27th.

As a 12+ year resident of Calistoga, this event is the only one that has induced me to make a public comment.

From approximately noon-9:30PM we endured noise that reached >80 decibels at our back door.

Following a visit to the police station at ~8PM, I learned that our city police had no ability to limit the noise as this event was “a city approved event”. I was also informed that over 50 complaints had been received.

I have many questions to ask the city and look forward to hearing from the council and the city manager regarding this matter during Tuesday’s public hearing.

I trust that this was a “growing pain” of inexperienced decision-making, and will be a very powerful teaching moment for everyone in city government moving forward.

Let’s all make sure this a onetime experience by codifying fairgrounds use with clear & measurable decibel regulations.

STAFF REPORT

From: Yudiana Galvan, City of Calistoga | City Clerk
Meeting: City Council - Apr 29 2025
Subject: Proclaiming May as Mental Health Awareness Month DESCRIPTION:

Proclaiming May as Mental Health Awareness Month
RECOMMENDATION:

Consider Making the Proclamation
SUMMARY:

Mental Health Awareness Month was established in 1949 by Mental Health America to increase awareness of the importance of mental health and wellness in Americans' lives, and to celebrate recovery from mental illness. Mental Health Awareness Month also raises awareness of trauma and the impact it can have on the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of children, families, and communities. Mental health is essential for a person's overall health. Prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can recover from and live with mental disorders, while also living full and productive lives.

The City of Calistoga recognizes the importance of raising awareness of mental health needs.

CITY OF CALISTOGA PROCLAMATION
in Honor of Mental Health Awareness Month
Whereas, every day, millions of people face stigma related to mental illness, causing many to face their mental health challenges for years without help. Each May, Mental Health Matters Month provides the opportunity for everyone to come together to illuminate mental health awareness in an effort to stop the stigma; and
Whereas, one out of every twenty-four Californians with a serious mental illness has difficulty functioning in everyday life and, if left untreated, has a life expectancy 25 years shorter than the general population; and
Whereas, recovery can and does happen, and all Californians should know that support and help is available regardless of any individual’s situation; and Whereas, creating a community where everyone feels comfortable reaching out for the support they deserve is crucial to ending the stigma around mental health; Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Calistoga City Council does hereby recognize May 2025 as Mental Health Awareness Month to increase public awareness and encourage every citizen to help end the silence and stigma that for too long has surrounded mental illness and discouraged people from getting help.

Proclaimed and Sealed this 29th day of April, in the year Two Thousand Twenty-Five

Councilmember Eisenberg stated that perhaps it would be beneficial to have a conversation later Item #6.2.

on regarding using local resources as much as possible. He was also concerned about the Fairground Special Meeting not being streamed, but City Manager Snideman confirmed that they will be.

Vice Mayor-Lopez asked City Manager Snideman if the City can put on a water information program to educate people about how our water system works, maybe have tours and displays.

Also, we received many applications for the Fairgrounds Advisory Committee. She suggested the applicant spend a few minutes speaking to Council about their interest in the committee. (Council discussed)
Mayor Williams supported the idea of a water education program. He expressed there was concern with citizens' ability to physically navigate the water plant, but if it is feasible, even a partial tour would be helpful.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Derek Rayner, Public Works Director/City Engineer Meeting: City Council - Apr 29 2025
Subject: Adoption of the Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Project List for Fiscal Year 2025/26 and the Five-Year Project List Under the Measure U Program, Both for Transportation/Road Projects
DESCRIPTION:

Adoption of the Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Project List for Fiscal Year 2025/26 and the Five-Year Project List Under the Measure U Program, Both for Transportation/Road Projects RECOMMENDATION:

Consider Adopting the Resolution
SUMMARY:

Senate Bill 1 (SB 1):

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 requires that agencies provide an annual local match, from general fund revenues, called Maintenance of Effort (MOE) to be compliant with funding requirements. The city met its SB1 MOE obligation and spent a total of $376,142 on street crew and staffing expenditures.

The anticipated SB1 revenue for FY 2025/26 is $137,402.

Measure U:

On November 5, 2024 the voters of Napa County passed the Napa Valley Transportation Improvement Act, also known as Measure U (formerly Measure T), which continues a half cent Item #6.3.

transaction and use (sales) tax to provide supplemental funding for road maintenance as detailed in the Measure U Expenditure Plan. The Napa Valley Transportation Authority-Tax Agency is the designated agency that administers and oversees the Measure U revenues; and The tax proceeds will be used to pay for the projects outlined in the Measure U Expenditure Plan allocated to the County of Napa, cities, town, and NVTA within Napa County (“Local Agencies”) as set forth in Measure U. Under the Measure U Expenditure Plan, Measure U funds are provided to the Local Agencies to be used for streets and roads projects as defined in the Ordinance.

Measure U funds require 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 Measure U is a minimum, twenty percent (20%) of the cities Measure U revenues for the last audited year. The anticipated Measure U revenue for FY 2025/26 is $722,600, so in this case, Calistoga's MOE would be $144,520, a significant reduction from the previous $287,000 required by Measure T.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The City will need to budget the higher amount of MOE, which appears will be SB1 at $273,756 (vs $144, 520), and existing streets maintenance budgets exceed this every year, so this should not be difficult for the city to comply. It is important to note that council is not approving any of these projects for funding but that Projects identified are eligible for reimbursement from Measure U and/or SB1 revenue's in the future.

CEQA STATUS:

The recommended actions described in this report are not in-and-of-themselves a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378) since they do not result in a physical change in the environment. Furthermore, individual projects will be required to complete their own CEQA.

City of Calistoga

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Derek Rayner, Public Works Director/City Engineer Meeting: City Council - Apr 29 2025
Subject: Regional Participation in County Used Oil Recycling Program DESCRIPTION:

Regional Participation in County Used Oil Recycling Program RECOMMENDATION:

Consider Adopting the Resolution
SUMMARY:

For the past twenty years, Napa County has implemented and managed a regional program for motor oil and oil filter recycling with Used Oil Payment Program funds that the state (CalRecycle) issues to five jurisdictions in the County (City of American Canyon, Town of Yountville, City of St.

Helena, City of Calistoga and Napa County).

CalRecycle requires that each city provide a Letter of Authorization (LOA) annually to the County, authorizing them to act on the city’s behalf. The County initiates the LOA annually, with either the City Manager or the Public Works Director being able to sign the LOA.

The letter must be on the city’s letterhead and describe the period of time of authorization, which, contingent on the Napa County Board of Supervisors' approval, is anticipated to be from FY 25/26 (June 1, 2025) through FY 29/30 (June 30, 2030).

The County would need to receive letters of authorization by May 5, 2025, to meet the funding application deadline. Napa County will focus most of its attention on public education and outreach for the recycling program.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The awards are based on population. Small cities (including all up-valley cities in Napa County) receive the minimum $5,000 per year. The County also receives the minimum county allocation:
$10,000. The total regional (4 cities and county) award is $30,000 per cycle.

CEQA STATUS:

The project was determined to be Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities (c) and (f). A Notice of Exemption was filed with the Napa County Recorder’s Office on April 1, 2015.

Item #6.5.

City of Calistoga

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jed Matcham, Fire Chief
Meeting: City Council - Apr 29 2025
Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 25-XXXX to Designate Fire Hazard Severity Zones
DESCRIPTION:

Consider adopting an ordinance updating and designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones and adding Chapter 12.050 "Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps" to Title 2 "Council, Administration and Personnel" of the Calistoga Municipal Code.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council introduce and waive the reading of Ordinance 25-XXXX Designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones as recommended by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection pursuant to Government Code Section 51179.

SUMMARY:

California Government Code Section 51179(a) mandates that local agencies "shall designate, by ordinance, moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones in [their] jurisdiction within 120 days of receiving recommendations from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 51178.” The City of Calistoga received the Local Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map on February 24, 2025, and therefore, must adopt an ordinance designating fire hazard severity zones within the City before June 24, 2025.

ANALYSIS:

In September 2021, Senate Bill 63 was approved by Governor Newsom. Senate Bill 63 included an act to amend California Government Code Section 51178. The amendment was effective on January 1, 2022, and directed the State Fire Marshal to identify areas in the state as moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones (FHSZ) based on consistent statewide criteria and the severity of the fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. In addition, moderate, high, and very high FHSZs are based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors that have been identified by the Office of the State Fire Marshal as a major cause of wildfire spread.

In September 2022, Assembly Bill 211 was approved by Governor Newsom. Assembly Bill 211 amended California Government Code Section 51179 and requires local agencies to designate, by ordinance, moderate, high, and very high FHSZ's within 120 days of receiving recommendations from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 51178.

In February 2025, the Office of the State Fire Marshal released the FHSZs in Local Responsibility Area map for review. The map is attached to this staff report and identifies moderate, high, and very high FHSZs within the City of Calistoga. The Office of the State Fire Marshal developed the Item #7.1.

recommended City of Calistoga FHSZ Map using a science-based and field-tested model that assigns a hazard score based on the factors that influence fire likelihood and fire behavior. The fire hazard severity model for wildland fire has two key elements: probability of an area burning and expected fire behavior under extreme fuel and weather conditions. Many factors are considered, such as fire history, existing and potential fuel (natural vegetation), predicted flame length, blowing embers, terrain, and typical fire weather for an area.

California's updated FHSZ maps classify areas into Moderate, High, and Very High hazard levels based on factors like terrain, vegetation, fire history, and climate conditions. These classifications have different impacts depending on the zone classification. Below is a breakdown of what each zone means for developers and/or residents:

Moderate FHSZ
 Disclosure of the FHSZ classification required at time of sale High FHSZ
 New construction will be required to adhere to Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Chapter 7-A standards of the California Building Code (effective January 1, 2026)  Disclosure of the FHSZ classification required at time of sale Very High FHSZ
 Increased CEQA review requirements for projects
 New subdivisions in to be designed with multiple evacuation routes to ensure safe egress during a wildfire
 Subdivisions in very high FHSZ may need to include built-in fuel breaks to slow the spread of a wildfire.
 Subdivisions in very high FHSZ must include provisions for defensible space, requiring vegetation clearance within a specific distance of structures.  New construction and renovations in designated zones must adhere to WUI Chapter 7-A standards of the California Building Code.
 Homeowners in very high FHSZ must maintain defensible space around their homes, requiring clearing/maintaining of vegetation within a 100-foot radius (or to the property line).  Disclosure of the FHSZ classification required at time of sale The FHSZ Map was created by CAL FIRE under the direction of the State Fire Marshal without the local jurisdictional input or influence. Under California Government Code Section 51179(b)(3), “A local agency shall not decrease the level of fire hazard severity zone as identified by the State Fire Marshal for any area within the jurisdiction of the local agency, and, in exercising its discretion pursuant to paragraph (2), may only increase the level of fire hazard severity zone as identified by the State Fire Marshal for any area within the jurisdiction of the local agency.” In other words, local agencies are not permitted to decrease or remove areas from the CAL FIRE recommended fire hazard severity zone map, but they may designate areas as a higher hazard than what the CAL FIRE map indicates. The proposed ordinance seeks to adopt the CAL FIRE map for the City of Calistoga FHSZ Map without any changes.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The future financial impact is unknown. Many staff hours will be required for inspection and code enforcement activities in the High and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Possible negative impact to future property tax revenues if property values decrease due to approximately 51% of the acreage within city limits being designated as High or Very High FHSZ's.

CEQA STATUS:

Item #7.1.

Introduction and adoption of the proposed ordinance is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to following sections of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3: (1) Section 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment); and (2) Section 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) because the ordinance has no potential for resulting in any significant physical change to the environment, either directly or indirectly.

Meeting: City Council - Apr 29 2025
Subject: Advisory Committee Bylaws and City Council Liaisons DESCRIPTION:

Establishing Advisory Committee Bylaws and Review of City Council Liaison Role RECOMMENDATION:

Consider Adopting the Resolution
SUMMARY:

Advisory committees are a structured way for community members to share their opinions and perspectives, study issues, develop policy and/or program recommendations, and provide feedback regarding city initiatives in a focused, small group structure, and are thus an integral part of furthering public participation in government.

The City Council has currently established the following committees:

1. Active Transportation Advisory Committee

2. Green Committee

3. Housing Advisory Committee

4. Fairground Advisory Committee
Due to various conflicting documents, staff is recommending a “reset” of various rules and procedures to apply to all committees and be referred to as bylaws. This is also an opportunity to review the City Council committee liaison role.

ANALYSIS:

An update of the bylaws and rules of procedure for the current and future advisory committees for the city enables these bodies to:

1. Be purposeful and effective;

2. Operate within a common framework;

3. Receive structured support from the City Council, Planning Commission, or city staff;

4. Work with a clear understanding of available staff and financial support; and

5. Benefit the community.

The Resolution rescinds past resolutions and replaces them with a uniform, consistent, and current set of rules and procedures for the City’s current and future committees. The proposed bylaws for the City of Calistoga Advisory Committees have been developed with input and collaboration from the three current committee chairs, along with thorough research. These bylaws outline the following areas: Purpose and General Definition, City Role, Membership, Member Guidelines, Officer Item #8.1.

Guidelines, Attendance Policy, Meeting Guidelines, Subcommittees, Agenda Guidelines, Communications, Conflict of Interest, Amendments to Bylaws, and Severability.

The Resolution addresses the following issues concerning the committees:

1. Lack of a uniform set of bylaws applicable to all committees;

2. Inconsistencies between the current rules and procedures and the City’s Code of Ethics, City Council Priorities, General Plan, Municipal Code, and other city policies;

3. Inconsistent or conflicting rules and procedures between individual committees, the current City Council Civic Operating Agreements, and the current Planning Commission Rules of Procedure;

4. Absence of details regarding the scope of an advisory committee and the process of preparing annual work plans for City Council review; and

5. Lack of city processes to support public participation and communication.

City Council Liaison Role
In April of 2024, the City Council established guidelines for the role and purpose of a Councilmember Liaison. The City Council will appoint a City Council Liaison(s) at the same time as the committee member appointments for the Fairgrounds Advisory Committee.

Role and Purpose of a Liaison (Resolution No. 2024-29)

1. The primary role of the Liaison is to facilitate communications between the Commissions and the Council.

2. The Councilmember Liaison shall bring to the Council any requests from the Committee such as: Questions raised by the Committee about their scope of work or requests to make changes to their scope of work, requests for expenditures of the City resources (funds, staff time, or other resources), requests from the Committee to place and item on a Council agenda for discussion.

3. The Liaison should work to ensure that the committee is only taking action or doing the work within the scope determined or approved by the Council.

4. The Liaison should not be an advocate for the Commission, give direction, or influence a decision of the Commission. The Liaison may, however, assist and provide information.

5. The Councilmember Liaison shall work to ensure the Council is regularly updated on the work of the Committee.

6. The Council should meet annually to discuss the work plan of each Committee and hear from each Committee's Liaison to report on the Committee's progress of the workplan, and revisit the need for the Committee to remain.

7. The Councilmember Liaison shall not take part in the Committee's deliberations or discussions unless the Committee requests the Liaison's participation, in which case the Councilmember must expressly state that he or she is only speaking for themselves and not for the entire Council.

8. The Councilmember Liaison will encourage the Committee to stay within the scope of their work and should remind the Committee of the Council's direction, City policies or laws, including the Brown Act and the Public Records Act if needed.

9. Attendance to the Committee meetings is encouraged but not required and shall be at the discretion of the Councilmember. The Councilmember shall not take part in any votes or decision making of the Committee and shall not be considered per purposes of a quorum.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The establishment of the City of Calistoga Advisory Committee Bylaws has no direct fiscal impact.

The ongoing cost of staff support remains, and future budget impact is dependent on future council action if a project or program, policy, or other similar work requires specific additional funding.

Item #8.1.

CEQA STATUS:

The adoption of this resolution is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), in accordance with CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). This exemption is justified as it is clear that there is no potential for the adoption of this resolution to significantly impact the environment.

why you believe you are qualified for the position, &
what you may contribute to the group.

I love Calistoga. My family & I were frequent visitors in the 80’s & 90’s to Calistoga. We would “go over the hill”, while we lived in various parts of Sonoma County and I commuted to San Francisco. $3.50 pool fees at Indian Springs while watching the gliders overhead still holds special memories.

We moved here 10 years ago for our next chapter in life is a dream come true. Calistoga has helped us make memories
for over 40 years. I wish to repay and contribute to the gifts that Calistoga, the town, the people, businesses, and spirit have given us.

Item #8.2.

As an expert in public assemblage with a strong background in marketing, design, & entertainment I offer a unique
perspective to aid in the development and success of the Calistoga Fairgrounds.

It may be of interest that n my career I also produced a number of events featuring “carnival experiences" for
corporate clients. Included was a thank you event for 500 of EBays’ top sellers hosted in San Francisco; a two day event in La Jolla at the Del Mar Fairgrounds for 1500 guests for a 24 Hour Fitness National Sales Meeting. Another event where we brought in authentic carnival rides and games (many
rides purchased from Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch), Fair Food, & audience amusements was an event for
OSISoft’s 1200 staff and guests held on Pier 14 on the San Francisco Waterfront.
1 am helping to kickstart the building and operation of a “Community Dog Park" to be located at the Calistoga
Fairgrounds.

Please refer to my Voices Perspectives article dated January 31, 2025 titled “The need for a community dog park". I’ve also included a summary document “”Calistoga Community
Dog Park Proposal” detailing our efforts to date and plans going forward.

Thank you in advance for your time & consideration in my application for the appointment to the Fairgrounds
Committee. I have the experience, knowledge, and passion to give back to our community in a meaningful way.

CALISTOGA'nIIBUNE
in my 43-year career I’ve
designed, produced and marketed more than 3500 events
and experiences.

In the 19708 I leased a
150- seat
nightclub
in Key
West and
presented
headline
talent
includ—
ing: Dave
Mason,
Peter
Tosh, Judy Collins and Leon
Russell,
In the 19805 and ‘905 I
worked out of Bill Graham's
original of?ce and managed
Sari Francisco's historic
Fillmore Auditorium and
War?eld Theater. I launched
the Special Events division at
Bill Graham Presents where
I would go on to create and
execute marketing plans and
produce events throughout
the Bay Area [or Fortune 500
companies and for private
clients,
in the early 2000s I started
an experiential event company
for a variety of clients includ»
ing eBay. Martha Stewart and
Genentech.

Based on my background,
I ?rmly believe that we have
a once-in-a—lifetime opportunity — I would even go as far as to call it an obligation — in
develop a plan {or the NApa
Valley Fairgrounds to thrive
both in the short term and for
the generations of residents
and tourists to come.

The successful rebirth of
NVF presents the opportuniRidmrd Gamackl'
ty to help create an inviting
identity for the city.

Whlle past assets have
included the golf course.
speedway, RV park, structures
and the land itself, I believe
that important decisions for
events and projects are based
on research, feelings and
facts.

One consideration I offer
is that in a brave new world,
a “Calistoga Green" could he
developed on this property.

Thlnk elements ofNew York
City’s Central Park, only
Wine Country<style,
Open space, benches, path
ways, dancing wuter foun~
rains, trees, ?owers, sculptures, and more! We are only limited hy our imaginations to
make this a blissful welcoming environment for all.

The main goals' to foster
a greater sense of community and in create a Vibrant
and inclusive atmosphere,
which could be achieved in
an open space that provides
an expanse of greenery in the
heart of Calistoga; a place icr
residents and visitors to relax,
play sports, have picnics or
simply enjoy nature.

We could offer various
recreational activities such as
paddleball,walking, jogging
paths and exercise stations to
encourage physical activities.

We could hold events
throughout the year, including
concerts, festivals, art shows,
movie screenings and fitness
classes.

And we could provide
community engagement
opportunities through volun<
leer progmms, educational
initiatives and community
outreach efforts.

Regular park-goers should
include local residents, visitors, tourists, families, Joggers, dog walkersr artists and more who are attracted by a
diverse range of activities.

Considering funding and
potential income sources for
th?e projects that will pro
vide economic support to the
community will be crucml.

I believe that the path of
self-funding e through city
tourism dollars, the general
fund, or reductions of other
city programs and services —
is ?awed. This piecemeal path
and operation did not work
before What evidence do we
have that it will work now’]
The NVF should support
the city. not the other way
around.

Potential sources to fund
the development of N'VF
include alliances, sponsorships and naming rights. I
have a colleague who is a
Naming Rights and Alliances
Prime Mover. He secured a
$22 million naming rights
deal with our neighbor,
Sears Point, which was then
renamed lnfineon Raceway.

Income from a successful
entertainment properly can be
substantial.

There is a dearth of outdoor facilities in Napa and
Sonoma Counties for desIination weddings, events,
and eelcbralions. But our
Fairgrounds could easily
support two or three events
simultaneously
Income from deals generated with approved caterers,
jFairgrounds: Builditandtheywillcome
other food and beverage
vendors, contractors, and concesstonaires can provide additional and substantial income possibilities.

The city needs more than
additional public meetings or
a survey to move forward. It
would be best to hire a master planning company highly experienced with entertainment properties that could ini» tially come to Calistoga. meet
and discussthoughts with all
interested stakeholders: residents, bnsmesses, city and county of?cials, et at Such a
company would then conduct
exhaustive research to prepare
and present a speci?c stretcgic plan for the development ofthe NVF and its elements
and operation {or the present
and future generations.

A return on investment for
the economic bene?t to the
community will also be a cru»
cial component. This process
would not be inexpensive and
would typically take three to
five months.

If we can make the
Fairgrounds a success, the
social and economic impact
across Northern California
and in particular the counties
ofNapa, Sonoma and Marin,
cannot be overstated.

Do we return to the past or
do we look to the future With
a new “bulld-it—and-Ihey(and
weJ-will—come" model?

To Whom it May Concern:

I am writing to express my interest in and quali?cations for appointment to the Calistoga Fairgrounds Advisory Board. I am a long—timeresident of Calistoga, having lived, worked and sent all my children through school here over the past 35 years. For most of those years the Fairgrounds was a focal point across many aspects of our lives, from social and charitable events, to County Fairs, emergency services, and many entertainment events. I am invested in seeing the Fairgrounds once again becoming a valuable self-supporting community resource.

My varied work history in a variety of categories has given me valuable experience that I believe can help me guide the Fairgrounds to success. I have considerable experience in construction, and facility and equipment repair and maintenance. I also spent many years in hospitality including restaurants, food and beverage, wine, and event management,‘ generally in a management or ownership role. My business experience has taught me the importance of ?scal responsibility, and perhaps most importantly, marketing.

My primary outside interest these days is RV'ing and restoring vintage RV’s - which is also relevant to the development and operation of the Fairgrounds. (I don’t.however, play golf, but both my parents were dedicated golfers, as are my sons...) I am an effective communicator, both orally and in writing. I am willing and able to work independently or in a group. My technical skillsetis current and broad I indicated on my application that I would decline to make my personal email and phone number public. (Allour email inboxes are already cluttered to exoess...) I would, however, create a dedicated email address to make me accessible to interested persons.

I have the interest, time, and energy to devote to this committee. I believe my knowledge and experience would be an asset to the Fairgrounds and the city in pursuit of returning this incrediblepiece of property to its pivotal and productive role inthe lives of the citizens of Calistoga and beyond. Thank you for your consideration.

Respectfully Submitted,
7 .7 4/57"

Attachment to Application of Tim Reilly to serve on the calistoga Fairgrounds Committee
Query: Why do you wish to serve?
Response: Ispent a good part of my consulting career assembling and collaborating with multidisciplinary tea ms of citizens, designers, and analysts to cultivate public support and secure regulatory approvals for projects throughout northern California. Our clients were private entities as well as local, state, and federal agencies. These projects varied in scale and were primarily situated in rural areas. Through this experience, I have come to value informed public participation in government decision-making processes. My commitment to advocating for robust public involvement in the planning and revitalization of the Fairgrounds stems from a desire to make a meaningful and enduring contribution to my community.

As a member of the Advisory Committee. Iwould assist the City Council in implementing an effective public participation program. This program would facilitate an exchange of information between our local community and knowledgeable designers and analysts. it is my belief that such an exchange of information and ideas would stimulate active engagement by diverse stakeholders and facilitate their reasoned participation in incremental decision-making as a range of alternative plans for the revitalization take shape and evolve.

We are fortunate to have a community that is rich with experienced individuals who may volunteer their technical expertise pro bonc. However, it is likely that at some point input from paid professionals will be necessary,particularly for aspects such as preparing drawings that are adequately detailed to support meaningful estimates of capital and operational costs. to assess constructability and financial feasibility, and to enable applesto~apples comparisons of alternatives.

The program I envision for public participation has two overarching goals. Firstly, to develop, describe, and circulate multipleconceptual strategic plans for comparison by our community members. ultimately leadingto a single strategic plan to guide site development and resource allocation over time. Secondly, to foster a general sense among stakeholders that, regardless of the revitalization strategy ultimately selected, the decisions made by the City Council have been reached transparently and inclusively; stakeholder input has been duly considered; a range of reasonable alternative strategies has been even-handedly explored; and stakeholders have been provided with the information they need to make and express informed choices amid trade~offs.

Item #8.2.

Query: Why do you believe you are qualified for the position? Response: My professional experience well-positions me to advocate for open and frank community-wide discussions regarding a range of revitalization alternatives. | neither favor nor oppose any specific revitalizationstrategy or action.

Iperceive the role of this committee to be one of providing ongoing advice, research, and recommendations to the City Council. If appointed, [would continue to champion inclusive participation across our diverse community. Iwould promote the even-handed formulation, assessment, and comparison of alternatives. Each alternative would respond - to varying degrees - to well-articulated descriptions of the need for action and the potential objectives for the re-vitalization.

Formulation of the alternatives would follow interpretation of the results of the recently awarded survey of community needsand desires. Iview the survey to be a foundational step in developing alternatives, focusing on capturing public sentiment about the broad need for action, and on compiling preliminary input about potential re-vitalization components and associated public benefits. Ideally, results of the survey would be crafted to support early development of conceptual alternatives, and to be applied as metrics for comparing more fully developed strategies later in the decision-making process. i believe committee members should refrain from using the committee as a platform to advocate for specific development outcomes, especiallyinthese early planning stages.

Other venues and associations are well-suited for advocacy of specific outcomes. But advocacy for specific outcomes under the committee's auspices could undermine its credibility as an impartial advisor to the City Council.

Query: What may you contribute to the group?
Response: I have already contributed to the development of a draft "6-step" plan for public participation, which has been sharedwith the City Council through written and oral comments at various meetings and via community outreach efforts. This plan is modeled after protocols commonly used by local, state, and federal agencies to support decisionmaking for significant opportunities like the Fairgrounds revitalization.

I recently reviewed the draft workplan for the Fairgrounds committee presented in the Staff Reportfor the March 11 Council meeting. The plain text of the Staff Report generally aligns with the previously circulated "6-step" plan. My strongest contribution would be to focus the committee on common interests among engaged stakeholders, to actively seek input from knowledgeable practitioners about alternative plan configurations and potential Item #8.2.

i
revenue sources.and to advocate for collaboration within a well-articulated.knowledge~ based decisnon-making process This approach would provide a sustainable plan that achieves the intended public benefits over a long-term planning period. !

Reasons IWish to Serve, Qualifications and Potential Contributions:

I am a long—timeresident ofthe Calistoga area since the mid-19705. When i moved back to California from Maui, Hawaii in 1974 with my partner (now husband), we began to search for a place to settle in Northern CA that was quiet and community-oriented, yet also unique and hopefully close to the Bay Area. We both fell in total love with Calistoga, which had a wonderful, old-fashioned look, feel and strong character, combined with a new, exciting potential of positive innovation in so many ways. The people were such a varied and interesting group (and although it took about 20 years for some of the "locals" to accept newcomers like us) we persisted in our appreciation, support and many kinds of investments into this unique place and made it our permanent home. We found a place nearby to live that we renovated and ever since have been active Calistogans, with businesses in town and residences In the Immediate area. We raised our son here and our many generations of dogs and cats and sometimes chickens, and have had numerous friends and associates here throughout the decades.

There is so much more to say about what I have loved, observed or participated in since those days and up until now, but Calistoga is my home, even with careers and projects and travel that often has taken me to places further a?eld. Calistoga still retains that charming mix of new, old , cutting-edge and well»honed traditions, beauty, history and so much else that first drew me to it and i am absolutely thrilled with the opportunity that has been preserved to have the Calistoga Fairgrounds back and alive in town, as well as being excited about other potential good developments and ideas for our town! I believe deeply in the idea that we must be stewards of our place and time and that somehow we have to figure out what we can contribute to that goal. [think my creative yet practical ability to envision is a strength that I can give to this 516 and ongoing project, along with many other skillsI have developed, both small and large, including specifics such as public relations, idea and concept development, writing skills, organizational strategies, memory and knowledge of past Calistoga ways, history and issues, in-depth experience working and collaborating with a wide-span of people, including children, teens, families, the business community, educators and of course, cultural creatives of all kinds! What Iwould hope to imbue within the challenges of both resurrecting and re-imagining the beautiful community asset of the Calistoga Fairgrounds is this overarching idea that l have about this place:

KEEPCALISTOGAREAL!
By this I mean simply, keep the best and wonderfulhistorical manifestationsand uses ofthis resource and provide ongoing ways to constantly assess and consider what is valuable for many groups ofthe greater community and visitors in the present too, constanly asking what else can live there in harmony as well? I also see the mission and vision as finding ways to cultivate, communicate, innovate and collaborate with the community about what is needed, imagined and what could work to strengthen and enliven the community even furtherand make it ever—more wonderful.In other words, be bold and courageous but never, never, never throw the baby out with the bath water!
I am a very hard worker and very committed to something I believe is good. Our family was very involved in the Fairfor many years. Our son's memoires ofgoing to the fairforliterally days on end, especially when he was old enough to be dropped off(or later even ride his bike!) are just epic! He knows that he experienced something very hard to findin 2025, as he raises his own three and five-year olds. Our family worked on various parade floatsforthe Community Pool committee, entered numerous floralsubmissions fromour garden just out oftown every year, and all ofus entered pieces in the Art Shows at our particular level. It was so important. It needs to be a part oflifeagain for many others in these ways and more.

Item #8.2.

Although I do currently have a business, i do not work full-time,so I could be a strong contributor to this committee. I am retired frommy long career in the educational ?eld as of2020, and my other main task right now isfinishing the renovation and repair ofdamages caused to our home and property fromthe Glass Fire, which are substantial but moving forwardthankfully. However, i am highly motivated to be a strong asset to this cause which is an opportunity for Calistoga that is irreplaceable.

Thankyou for your consideration and for all the work you are doing. I lookforwardto answering any other questions you may have and for any contribution you believe I can make. lan Sofie

As I have been watching the process from the purchase of the Fairgrounds to the beginnings of the revitalization, I realized that the City has a unique opportunity to bring something special to the citizens of Calistoga. We can show off our City as we see it and let others see why we live here and why we are really committed to its success. Can’t wait to see a thoughtful, well planned vision for what the whole City will contribute to.
