collective acts of unprofessionalism with civil and criminal acts thrown in. Believe it or not. I have performed music in Napa Valley since I was 19 and I have seen it all.

The recent development of regulating music “busking” in downtown yes is helpful in that we can offer a more professional look to music/arts performances in downtown. However looking at the plan for the events in Dwight Murray and Veterans Park, I can see clearly that the planners are not music based professionals whom have worked with musicians. In my years of acting as a Promoter/Performing Musician I can see that there are positives and negatives to the beginning of the event. And most importantly I see another action by city legislation that results in the control of music opportunities either fair or not fair. Myself having worked concerts since the age of 11 years, I like the "everybody wins" approach resulting in “good music business”. That is a another element I find lacking in governmental decision making in Napa County in general.

Because local music is a “Gig Based Industry” the pandemic severely impacted musicians as myself and other part time musicians whom are dependent on our gig based industry. And as well it extends to those individuals whom provide sub-services for the local music industry.

Such as instruction and teaching, recording and producing, instrument repair, professional music business, booking/contracting and multimedia technical services. To mention a few. I have had 8 musicians whom had to move from Napa County during the pandemic. One musician whom I know was living in his car homeless at the onset of the pandemic and died.

This is a continuing cycle of musicians going on the street or having to give up their life in Napa and move somewhere else. For the grace of god I am still here, barely. Fighting every day to keep my head above the water line.

I am disappointed that I did not see any provision in your distribution of the American Rescue Plan Act for the local music industry. We are at the bottom of the expendable cash pyramid.

And strapped additionally with a legislative handicap. Yes some can argue that the music industry does not end at the Napa County line, thats true. But musicians know that demographics is of key importance to their success at home and elsewhere. Though the pandemic neutralized the demographic function for music business.

In the music business we have a term called “Middle Man Complex”. That term infers to the act of a individual being between the musician and the money. In that the middle man controls the opportunity to earn the income and as well takes the lion’s share. As we saw once in 90’s where a booking agent was violating
California Agency Laws by booking music acts for 3000
dollars paying the musicians in form as employee’s one third of the money and keeping the rest. The DA failed to listen to me and that person escaped prosecution for his eight year fraud.

I have to offer this, I know many of you and the people in City government. I have found many individuals of goodwill and good heart in city government. Yet, I have to offer that some decisions you are making are counter productive to a good local music industry for musicians of today and tomorrow. In form I find those decision are as well fostered in the middle man complex.

I stand ready if I can be helpful to you in concern of Music Industry knowledge.

From: Dalton J. Piercey

Napa, ca. 94558
Dear City Manager, Mayor & Council Members:

I have read the report in the Register on the cities use and access of the American Rescue Plan Act Funding. In one thought I was immediately disappointed and the other raises the same concerns that continue to foster my musician rebellion towards the status quo. Musicians are rebels at heart armed with melody and poetry FYI.

As of this date I have been working on a feature writing/story and to my surprise indicates that Napa Town proper and city government has had and continues a systematic form of encroachment on music opportunities for local working music business professionals/musicians since as early as 1962. I say this with humility for I know and understand that many individuals and city officials are not experienced music business professionals. So my reasoning is, I continue to see this in actions that the City Government, Planning Department and NCRD with others take in concern of our local music industry.

For you to have a more enhanced perspective the first important element you need to know and understand is that our local music industry is based on what we professionals term as a “Gig Based Industry”. For a clearer explanation that means music shows in venues that we find and book to derive funding for our small music business city and county wide. That will pay our bills, our rent and create in sustaining a professional music career.

You could think of a “Gig Based Industry” in the form of contractors bidding on trade work opportunities. The keyword being opportunities. When the city and planning department act with their bureaucracy to legislate entertainment permits and regulation controls of venues that have or want to host performances, potential operators finding that the costs of over legislation with the required financial costs exceed (along with volumes of planning department red tape) the desire to have a stage and live entertainment becomes impossible for the majority. The systemic result is the loss of opportunities that would provide income into a “Gig Based Industry”. Either pro industry or local industries both are diminished with the loss of opportunities. Any industry has to have cash flowing through it to succeed.

In Calistoga I met a Wine Baron from Napa town whom told me once “that we do not want music to be successful or creator than wine”. I talked with a downtown business merchant whom has passed and he said “all of us in downtown have concluded that music is no good money”. With the long and continued diminished capacity continuing for local music we have a cultural deficit in that we have generational detachment in music business and music performance. That in turn contributes a whole myriad collection of political, personal and collective acts of unprofessionalism with civil and criminal acts thrown in. Believe it or not. I have performed music in Napa Valley since I was 19 and I have seen it all.

The recent development of regulating music “busking” in downtown yes is helpful in that we can offer a more professional look to music/arts performances in downtown.

Emphasis
on Street
Conditions
Considerations
• Funding for street repairs is additionally addressing:
– accessibility requirements (curb ramps and sidewalk
repairs)
– storm drain repairs/replacements
– bicycle facilities
– traffic safety
– traffic signals
• Elements require detailed surveys, additional
engineering services, take longer to prepare, and
increase costs
• Streets first paved by operations team 5-10+ years ago are aging and now deteriorating
• Construction costs increasing much faster than revenue • Overall paving conditions are declining
Emphasis
• Filled all vacant street maintenance worker positions and reduced number of vacancies in engineering division
• Created Street Improvement Team with Engineering and
Operations staff to focus on pavement improvments
• Pavement System Plan being developed currently to
best target investments for improvements

RESO

LUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

NAPA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, DECLARING A CLIMATE

EMERGENCY
WHEREAS, there is broad scientific consensus that climate change caused by human activity represents a growing danger to human health, safety, and economic prosperity, and that the window of opportunity for long term climate preservation is rapidly closing; and
WHE
REAS, 195 countries have signed the "Paris Agreement" acknowledging the threat of climate change and the urgent need to combat it, agreeing to keep global mean temperature "well below 2°c above pre-industrial levels" and to "pursue efforts to limit temperature increase to 1.5°C;" and
WHE
REAS, the 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, "Global Warming of 1.5°C," affirmed that l imiting global warming to 1.5°C would require rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society, and further projected that the earth could reach and exceed this temperature threshold as soon as 2030, far earlier than previously anticipated; and
WHE
REAS, the 2018 US government report , "Fourth National Climate Assessment," detailed the massive threat to the American economy posed by climate change and underscored the need for immediate climate emergency action at all levels of government; and
WHE
REAS, California, Napa County and their residents, economy, and environment have already experienced dramatic adverse effects from climate change, including prolonged wildfire seasons, firestorms, rising temperatures, mudslides, severe droughts, property destruction, damage to infrastructure, and loss of life; and WHER
EAS, climate breakdown, while endangering all people, disproportionately impacts the young and the most vulnerable, exacerbating existing social justice and other inequities; and
WHER
EAS, at their February 18, 2022 Council Workshop, the City Council has named Climate Change efforts as a priority for the next year; and WHERE
AS, the City of Napa is currently updating the City’s General Plan, the long-range planning document which includes elements related to land use, transportation, climate change and sustainability, and natural resources all of which will support and direct the City’s response to the climate emergency and encourages public comments on the draft General Plan.

ATTACHMENT 1
R2022-___ Page 2 of 3 April 5, 2022
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Napa as follows:

1. The Ci
ty Council hereby finds that the facts set forth in the recitals to this resolution are true and correct and establish the factual bases for adoption of this resolution.

2. A cli
mate emergency exists and it threatens our city, region, state, nation, and the natural world.

3. The sci
entific evidence indicates that an urgent global climate mobilization effort to reverse global warming is needed as quickly as possible towards net zero climate pollutants from public and private operations within the City by 2030.

4. The Cit
y Council has named climate change efforts as a Council Priority and commits to evaluating all planning and policy decisions through the lens of this pledge and the most current scientific evidence, and the Council directs the City Manager to use this same lens when evaluating and implementing both immediate and sustained actions in support of zero net emissions.

5. The Ci
ty Manager is hereby directed to prepare the recommended update to the City’s General Plan, to be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for review and adoption, to document climate goals and practices that support climate protection actions. As a parallel effort, through the City’s budget review and approval process, the City Manager is hereby directed to recommend available resources (to include budget and staff) necessary for creating specific implementation strategy documents to prioritize goals into actionable tasks and projects required to accomplish General Plan Goals.

6. The Cit
y Manager is hereby further directed to develop partnerships with community organizations, businesses, schools, and regional partnerships to educate, mobilize, expand, and accelerate local, regional and statewide support for comprehensive, immediate, and sustained action to achieve its goal of net zero climate pollution.

Hi there:

Having read today's(4/4/22) article on Climate Change in Napa Register, it made me think of my classes at San Jose State in the 70's, hearing of cars' pollution and the
greenhouse gas buildup. (Also about destroying part of the ozone layer). And global warming. That's how long
we've been trying to do something about it - not
two or three years!
I remember as well getting gas on alternating days, in long lines, but that was due to gas shortage. Maybe it did
helped the pollution problem (that's more prevalent in San José - smog city!) I would like to think this approach might help in the short and long run (or would people and
business move out?)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2021/05/13/ga
s-shortages-1970s/
https://www.npr.org/sections/pictureshow/2012/11/10/1
64792293/gas-lines-evoke-memories-oil-crises-in-the-
1970s
I know how conflicted I am driving my gas powered
vehicle, (including doing Doordash!and I hope to find a local job that I can walk to? or ride my bike or take a bus); however, with a 'social movement' - some might think of it as 'big brother', or 'social engineering', but I'd voluntarily Item 6.D.

Page 81 of 86 ends
Page 87 of 92 ends

go back to driving every other day, even or odd days, if I thought it would help.

You know it's time for real sustainability; if any building is done, build to manufacture here to use things here - at least here in California, ideally that don't rely on
transportation across the Country, or out of the Country, which we can see politically can be cut-off at short notice for political reasons, as well.

Napa is the perfect place to drive a bike (nice and flat!), too bad no Light rail vehicle system to go down the middle of Hwy 29 ( but that's a Caltrans issue?) - Carpooling is also optional, as are taxis, and I should try shopping by bus, I know...

The City should get proactive, use its stature and restrict vehicles powered by fuel!

thank you,
Sharyn Fernandez

[EXTERNAL]
Dear Mayor Sedgley and Napa City Council Members,

As the parent of a Napa teen, I cannot pass up taking a moment tonight to voice my strong support for tomorrow’s Climate Emergency Resolution. I am deeply grateful for the work of the students from Schools for Climate Action in asking every jurisdiction within our valley to take some form of this important step.

As I’ve shared with you in the past, I feel more strongly than ever that now is the time for us to work together as a valley community (steadily, step by step) to take real policy action to address the climate emergency in a way that lets our youth know that we care deeply about their future and the healing of our planet. I view tomorrow's Climate Emergency Resolution as an important step towards every jurisdiction within our valley standing firmly behind our youth and their right to a livable future. This is the “active hope” I’ve been speaking about, which is so needed now.

Incase it didn’t cross your desk today, I also want to pass along the news that the third part of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report was released today (April 4th): Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change: Summary for Policymakers. You will find the report here: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth‐ assessment‐report‐working‐group‐3/ May it be beneficial in helping you and your staff determine your specific climate actions.

My family is taking notice of each step you take. We thank you for your leadership in recognizing the urgency of the climate crisis and committing to do all you can, within this crucial decade, for our children and our world.

Sincerely,
Lori Stelling
20+ year Napa resident

To: Members of the City Council

Resolve: decide firmly on a course of action.

Thank you for adopting the Climate Emergency Resolution for the city of Napa. • The resolve shown by those who have labored for several years to achieve today’s action is commendable.
• The resolve demonstrated by the students – Emily Bit, Alisa Karish and others – to courageously stay the course and never give up is remarkable.
• The resolve of community members to testify time and again, provide background information, speak with individuals and groups shows that persistence pays off. • The resolve of City Council members to adopt the resolution speaks volumes to their determination to forge a better path for our community relative to climate action. • The resolve of countless others in and out of government to be part of the change that needs to take place in the coming years and decades shows commitment to making a difference for generations yet to come.

With deepest gratitude,

Lynne Baker, RN, MS
