City of Calistoga Water and Wastewater Utility Assistance Program Guidelines (pilot project) Program Overview
The City of Calistoga Water and Wastewater Utility Assistance Program provides means-tested financial assistance for qualifying single-family residential, multifamily residential, and mobile home park accounts. The program is designed to assist low-income Calistoga residents who are having difficulty paying for their water/wastewater bills. Calistoga residents may apply for one of the two program components noted below: However, residents ages 65 or older may qualify for both programs. 1) Recurring subsidy for up to June 30, 2027
- Qualifying households may receive up to $100 or up to$200 per month recurring subsidy, this will reflect as a credit on the account for up to 12 months, depending on household income and size.
2) One-time assistance for past due bills
- Qualifying households may receive up to $1000.00 towards their past-due bills, depending on household income and size. The amount granted for this type of assistance will be reflected in one-time credit on the account.
- Clients will only be eligible to receive past due amounts 1 time every fiscal year. 3) One-time assistance for senior mobile home parks, including Rancho de Calistoga, Calistoga Springs and Chateau.
- Eligible mobile home park residents will receive a monthly credit up to 1yr of ongoing assistance of $120.00 per month. This will cover the cost of sewer and one unit of water.

3. Households who receive LIRA assistance could be eligible for this aid.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Derek Rayner, Public Works Director/City Engineer Meeting: City Council Regular Meeting - Jun 23 2026
Subject: City Council Direction on Priority Projects for Upper Valley Waste Management Agency (UVA) Funding Application
DESCRIPTION:
Provide input, discuss options, and provide direction to staff on what grant to submit to UVA.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider Discussing the Item and Providing Staff Direction SUMMARY:
The Upper Valley Waste Management Agency (UVA) continues to accept project applications under its ongoing Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) program, and the City may submit funding requests at any time. Staff is bringing this item forward to allow the City Council to discuss potential project ideas and provide staff direction on which items staff should apply for.
The City has previously received $100,000 for a street sweeper and $10,000 toward the purchase of nine three-way public receptacles used for compost, landfill, and recycling collection. Other agencies in the Upper Valley have recently used UVA funding for items such as public three-way waste-sorting bins, Big Belly units, mulching lawn mower equipment, illegal-dumping cameras and message boards, signage, and water-refill stations.
To help initiate Council discussion, staff has identified a few potential project ideas - including a sidewalk sweeper and additional three-way compost/landfill/recycle bins for the Fairgrounds and Pool - while recognizing that the Council may identify additional priorities or alternative project concepts for consideration.
ANALYSIS:
The City has several potential project opportunities that could qualify for submission under UVA’s NOFA program, and staff is seeking City Council input on which, if any, should be pursued. The projects identified to date - such as a sidewalk sweeper and an additional three-way waste-sorting bins (compost/landfill/recycle) for the Fairgrounds and pool facility - are intended only as starting points to help initiate Council discussion. Each of these items supports waste-management operations in different ways, but Council may also wish to consider additional ideas based on community needs, operational priorities, or long-term facility improvements.
UVA funding history shows that a broad range of project types have been successfully funded by member jurisdictions in recent years, including outdoor three-way waste-sorting bins, Big Belly smart bins, mulching lawn mower equipment, illegal-dumping cameras and message boards, Item #8.1.
signage, water-refill stations, and other waste-related infrastructure. These examples illustrate the program's flexibility and demonstrate that projects supporting waste diversion, litter reduction, public-space cleanliness, or improved waste-handling practices have generally been well received by the UVA Board.
Staff is also coordinating with the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club on a community-supported effort to re-powder-coat the existing waste-sorting bins along Main Street. At this time, it appears that Rotary donations will likely cover this work, reducing the need to seek UVA funding for that specific improvement.
Because UVA typically provides up to $100,000 per application and awards funding on a reimbursement basis, the City can structure its proposals to meet both operational needs and funding limitations. Smaller projects, such as receptacles, may be fully or partially reimbursable depending on scope, while larger projects - such as a potential trash enclosure at the Fairgrounds - may require additional planning, supplemental funding, or phased implementation. Ultimately, Council direction is needed to identify which project ideas best reflect current priorities and warrant preparation of formal applications for UVA consideration.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this discussion item. Potential fiscal effects will depend on which project or projects the City Council directs staff to pursue for UVA funding.
Preliminary cost estimates for possible project ideas include approximately $60,000 for a sidewalk sweeper and approximately $60,000 for 14 three-way bins for the Fairgrounds and Pool facilities. A potential trash enclosure at the Fairgrounds may require a significantly higher investment, with final costs dependent on size, materials, and design.
UVA’s NOFA program typically provides up to $100,000 per application on a reimbursement basis, and projects exceeding this amount may require supplemental City funds or additional grant sources.
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.

NOTICE OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY (NOFA)
Upper Valley Waste Management Agency (UVA)
As of June 12, 2025
Ongoing, Temporary Application Window Open
The Upper Valley Waste Management Agency (UVA) is continuing to accept applications for a limited time for funding to support waste management-related projects conducted by UVA’s member jurisdictions:
• Napa County
• Town of Yountville
• City of St. Helena
• City of Calistoga
This funding was generated as a result of higher-than-expected waste volumes from the 2017 Napa and Sonoma fires. Since funds were generated through rate payers within the Agency’s jurisdiction, proposed projects must be conducted within UVA boundaries and must align with UVA’s mission. This is a temporary continuance of the application process. UVA encourages interested jurisdictions to apply as soon as possible, as the Board may close the application period at any time and retains full discretion to fund all, part, or none of the submitted projects.
Application Information and Deadlines:
• Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis for a limited time. • Applications will only be accepted from member jurisdictions, though jurisdictions are welcome to partner with others, such as non-profit organizations or citizen groups. • Awards will likely be approved at the next scheduled UVA Board meeting.
Application Requirements:
The project application must include:
• A detailed description of the proposed project, including a well-defined scope, purpose (what do you hope to achieve), and specific end point (what will success look like). • The names, roles, and organizations who will be involved in the project. • Requested funding amount, along with a cost estimate or budget (keep in mind the Agency may choose to only partially fund a proposed project) • A project schedule and location (include a map at sufficient scale to clearly identify the location of the project, if the project is location-specific).
Item #8.1.
• Projects must relate to the Agency’s mission of waste management, examples include:
o Clean up and restoration of an area.
o Programs to maximize re-use, recycling, and composting. o Minimizing litter or illegal dumping.
o Educational programs related to waste management, including climate change as it relates to waste management and recycling.
o Other projects, such as road repairs or similar infrastructure projects, can be proposed so long as a study showing a nexus between the proposed project and the agency (e.g. waste collection results in road damage, the proposed project mitigates that damage) is provided.
Selection Process:
• Each application will be evaluated by a team of Agency experts in their related fields for completeness and alignment with requirements as outlined previously. • This scoring will be advisory only, all submitted projects will be provided to the Board for their consideration and final decision.
• The Board retains the absolute right to fully, partially, or to not fund any submitted project at its discretion.
• There are no fixed allocations per jurisdiction; funding will be based on merit and Board discretion.
Award Conditions:
• Confirm, in writing, the project intent within 60 days of the Board action. • Project must be completed within one year of confirmation. • Funds will be provided on a reimbursement basis.
• Must submit a project closeout report to qualify for future funding.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Sheli Wright, Fairgrounds Revitalization Director Meeting: City Council Regular Meeting - Jun 23 2026
Subject: Consideration and direction regarding development and release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for operation and long-term management of the Mt. St. Helena Golf Course.
DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and direction regarding the development and release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the operation and long-term management of the Mt. St. Helena Golf Course.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider Discussing the Item and Providing Staff Direction SUMMARY:
The Fairgrounds Advisory Committee recommends that the City Council direct City staff to move forward with the preparation and release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the operation, management, and potential improvement of the Mt. St. Helena Golf Course.
ANALYSIS:
Over the course of its April and May meetings, the Fairgrounds Advisory Committee (FAC) discussed the future of the Fairgrounds Golf Course and received significant public input regarding potential long-term uses of the property. A recurring theme throughout these discussions was strong community interest in preserving and reopening the golf course. Committee members and members of the public expressed support for exploring opportunities to return the course to operation while minimizing financial and operational impacts on the City.
To better understand the feasibility of this approach, the Golf Course Subcommittee met with the Fairgrounds Revitalization Director and the Public Works Director to review reclaimed water availability, irrigation requirements, and operational considerations for a golf course. In addition, representatives of the FAC and staff met with several golf course operators and consulted with the City's Utility Systems Superintendent to discuss potential operating models, opportunities, and constraints associated with the property.
These discussions identified several potential benefits of a third-party operating arrangement, including access to specialized golf course management expertise, expanded recreational programming opportunities, improved customer service, and the potential to reduce the City's direct operational responsibilities. Discussions also highlighted important considerations that would need to be addressed in any future agreement, including protection of the City's interests, preservation of the golf course as a community asset, continued public access, coordination with Fairgrounds Item #8.2.
operations and special events, parking availability, use of reclaimed water, and clearly defined maintenance and performance expectations.
Based on the information gathered to date, staff believes the next appropriate step is to develop and issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit interest from qualified golf course operators. The RFP process would provide the City with a transparent and competitive method for evaluating potential operating partners and determining whether viable opportunities exist to reopen and operate the golf course. The RFP would establish the City's objectives, operational requirements, maintenance standards, financial expectations, and other terms necessary to ensure that any future proposal aligns with the City's goals for the Fairgrounds and broader community.
While the FAC has discussed elements that may be included within an RFP, the development of procurement documents is a staff function. Staff will use input from the FAC, community members, and the document will reflect the priorities and interests identified through the committee process.
Staff recommends that the Fairgrounds Department, in coordination with the Public Works Department, prepare and issue a Request for Proposals for the operation and management of the Fairgrounds Golf Course. Upon completion of the RFP process, staff will evaluate any proposals received and return to the City Council with findings, recommendations, and any proposed lease or operating agreements for Council consideration and approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no immediate significant fiscal impact associated with preparing and issuing an RFP for the operation and management of the Fairgrounds Golf Course, as related staff time and administrative costs can be accommodated within existing resources.
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 ATTACHMENT(S):

City of Calistoga | COMMITTEE REPORT
DATE: June 3, 2026, for the June 23, 2026, City Council Meeting COMMITTEE INFORMATION: Fairgrounds Advisory Committee (FAC), Golf Course Subcommittee
DESCRIPTION: Consideration and direction regarding development and release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for operation and long-term management of the Mt. St. Helena Golf Course.
RECOMMENDATION: The Fairgrounds Advisory Committee recommends that the City Council direct City staff to move forward with preparation and release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the operation, management, and potential improvement of the Mt. St. Helena Golf Course.
SUMMARY:
The Mt. St. Helena Golf Course is an important recreational and community asset that provides opportunities for residents, visitors, youth programs, tournaments, and community events. The Fairgrounds Advisory Committee recognizes the value of the golf course to the community and the need to ensure its long-term operational sustainability and financial viability.
The golf course also plays an important role in supporting local tourism and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue generation by providing an additional recreational amenity for visitors staying in local accommodations and the Fairgrounds RV Park. The course contributes to the overall visitor experience and supports Calistoga’s reputation as a leisure, wellness and destination community.
Additionally, the golf course serves as an important and beneficial use site for reclaimed water, supporting the City’s broader sustainability and water reuse objectives. Continued operation of the course provides an ongoing opportunity for responsible reclaimed water utilization and landscape irrigation.
The FAC recommends that the City Council authorize staff to begin an RFP process to identify qualified operators and/or partners who can provide innovative management approaches, operational expertise, and potential investment opportunities that support the continued success of the golf course.
The RFP process would allow the City to evaluate a range of operational models and partnership opportunities while maintaining transparency and public engagement throughout the process.
ANALYSIS:
The Fairgrounds Advisory Committee has discussed the importance of long-term planning and sustainability for the golf course operations. An RFP process would provide the City with an opportunity to evaluate qualified proposals from experienced golf course operators and management teams.
Item #8.2.
Benefits of initiating an RFP process may include:
• Identification of operational efficiencies and best practices • Opportunities for increased revenue generation
• Enhanced recreational programming, community use and youth inclusion • Support for tourism and visitor-serving amenities
• Increased attractiveness of local lodging and RV accommodations • Continued beneficial use of reclaimed water resources • Exploration of capital improvement opportunities
• Long-term operational sustainability planning
• Improved maintenance and customer service standards
The FAC believes that the golf course is an important component of the Fairgrounds, local tourism economy, and the City’s reclaimed water program. A structured and transparent RFP process will allow the City to gather information, compare operational approaches, and determine the best path forward for the golf course and community.
Issuing an RFP does not commit the City to a specific agreement or operational change but instead provides an opportunity to evaluate potential options and partnerships.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no immediate significant fiscal impact associated with directing staff to prepare and release an RFP. Staff time and administrative costs associated with the process can be accommodated within existing operational resources.
Future financial impacts, opportunities, or contractual obligations would be evaluated and presented to the City Council upon completion of the RFP review process.
CEQA STATUS:
The proposed direction to prepare and release an RFP does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is therefore not subject to environmental review at this time. Any future projects or improvements resulting from the RFP process will be evaluated for CEQA compliance as required.

Subject: Golf course
I would like to record my support for the reinstating a golf course at the Fairgrounds. I believe it is a popular recreational activity, especially for people on vacation , and would enhance the appeal of Calistoga as a vacation destination. We need to be able to offer something different from wine tasting and spa’s which are a common feature of Napa and Sonoma valley towns.
I appreciate that it will take considerable financial commitment to refurbish the golf course. However , we already have the info structure for recycled water. In addition, for ‘recognition at the golf course’ I think some of the larger resorts would be interested in making a financial contribution.
A golf course would enhance and diversify the appeal of Calistoga as a vacation destination, and thus the initial expenditure would pay for itself.
Thank you for considering this matter.

Subject: City Council Meeting June 23rd Agenda item 8.2 Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council,
My name is Mike Vaughn, and I am a resident of Calistoga and an avid golfer. I am writing to express my strong support for Agenda Item #8.2 regarding the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the golf course.
As someone who loves the sport, having a high-quality, local course right here in Calistoga is something our community deeply needs. Right now, local golfers have to travel outside of our area just to get a round in. A local course would not only serve as a great community asset and recreational hub, but it is a place I would personally use and play at every single day.
Moving forward with this RFP is a vital step toward restoring an incredible recreational option for residents, families, and visitors. I strongly urge the Council to approve this item and select a partner who will build and maintain a course we can all be proud of.
Thank you for your time and your service to Calistoga.
Sincerely,
Mike Vaughn
