Dr. Mary Cook - shared significant concerns regarding Motel 6 as the location for propsed housing, noting concern over child and student safety, in particular.

Patrick Gaul, Grocery Outlet Owner - voiced concerns regarding the use of Motel 6 for housing and shared frustration with the behavior of many current homeless residents in the area.

Brian Doudy - shared concerns with the encampment near Motel 6 and increased crime and physical harassment in the area.

Brooke Roach, Business Owner and parent - concerned with behavior of the Motel 6 residents. Shes afraid it would be compounded with the new program. Since 2002 has seen many changes, and concerned with impact on her business. Most patrons of the shopping center and students are not comfortable and do not feel safe.

Mark Van Gorder - agreed with previous comments made, and posed questions as to why the area known as the "Bowl," which was located away from business and schools and closer to services, was able to get cleared out so quickly and the one adjacent to Motel 6 could not.

afe Firearm

Ci
ty of Napa
Police Department
City Council Regular Meeting
1/17/2023
Supplemental - Item 5.C.

From: City Staff

Background for today’s presentation:
•During the Council Comment portion of the public meeting on S
eptember 6, 2022, Councilmember Luros provided
information regarding a Safe Firearm Storage ordinance
adopted by St. Helena.
•At Councilmember Lur
os’ request, the City Council directed
staff to include an item on a future public meeting agenda for Council discussion of a potential similar ordinance for the City of Napa.

Facts to consider:
•According to CDC data, firearms are the second leading cause of
death for children in the US (replacing cancer)
•John Hopkins University study estimated 54% of firearm ow
ners do not properly secure their firearms.
•Approximately 350 children unintentionally shoot
t
hemselves annually.
• Other forms of child deaths related to firearms includes homicide, suicide and legal intervention.

Additional Facts to consider:
•An estimated 80% of shooters under the age of 18
i
nvolved in gunfire on a school campus obtained the
firearm from their home or a home of a friend or relative. •Adolescent suicide risk is strongly associated with firearm avai
lability.
•Approximately 4.6 million children live in a home with at l
east one unlocked and loaded firearm.
•Parental education about firearm safety is effective.

National Progress
• 14 states and DC – laws requiring guns stored locked. • 3 states – laws requiring that trigger locks accompany gun purchases.
• 8 states – laws requiring that guns be stored locked
and that trigger locks accompany gun purchases.

Current California Laws:
•California Penal Code Sections 23620-2369 0
•Identify legal requirements for firearm safety devices, gun safes, and related warnings.
•California Penal Code Sections 25100-2514 0
•Identify legal requirements for criminal storage of firearms •California Penal Code Sections 25200-2522 5
•Identify legal requirements for storage of firearms where a child obtains access and carries a firearm off-premise.

Constitutionality of Safe Storage Laws:
 In 2008, the Supreme Court ruled on the Second Amendment for the first time in almost 70 years after Dick Heller sued the District of Columbia over its ban on handguns in the home. The court ruled in Heller’s favor, affirming an individual right to keep handguns in the home for self-defense.
(District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) 554 U.S. 570.)
 In 2014, the Ninth Circuit determined that a San Francisco safe storage ordinance that regulates how people must store their handguns when not carrying them on their persons does not run afoul of the Second Amendment.
(Jackson v. City & County of San Francisco (2014) 746 F.3d 953.)

Gaps in the law:
•California State Laws
•Except in cases where one is living with a person prohibited from owning a firearm, the law does not define what “safe storage” means when it mandates guns be stored safely.
•California law does not apply to all homes, only homes where children live or where “a child is likely to gain access to the firearm” or if living with a person who is prohibited from having a firearm. •The City of Napa Municipal Code
•Does not currently regulate firearm storage or improperly stored firearms.

Support for a local safe firearm storage ordinance:
•Mothers Demand Action (including the local Napa
C
hapter) support the development of a local ordinance.
•They have participated in public safety education events, including the Napa National Night Out in August.
•The American Academy of Pediatrics and the International A
ssociation of Chiefs of Police recommend the safe
storage of firearms.

St. Helena Safe Firearms Ordinance:
•St. Helena City Council - S afe Firearm Storage Ordinance designed to fill the gaps in California law.
“No person shall keep a firearm within any residence unless the firearm is stored in a locked container or disabled with a trigger lock.” • Exceptions for carrying the firearm on your person and peace officers.

Napa Police Department Recommendations:
•Direct staff to prepare a safe firearm storage ordinance to be brought back to Council for consideration at a
future public hearing.
•If adopted, Napa PD will include information about the new ordinance as a part of its public education programs that promote firearm safety.

Any questions?

afe Firearm Storage public comment[Some people who received this message don't often [EXTERNAL]
Mayor Sedgley, Council and City Manager Potter,I read that you’re considering adoption of a safe firearm storage ordinance at your Council meeting on Ja n. 17.The Napa Register article in
today/Monday’s paper, written by Edward Booth, fails to mention the Tow n of Yountville adopted a
safe firearm ordinance on Nov. 1, 2022.I’m attaching the draft of ordinance 22-515 that was presented to our Council for its second reading and
adoption for your reference. At our meeting, we
had several public comments in support of this ordina
nce, including from Napa County Sheriff Oscar
Ortiz and Napa resident and Moms Demand Act
ion spokesperson Liz Russell.While being sensitive to
and protecting legal and safe gun ownership, such an ordinance enhances gun s afety through
responsible firearm home storage.Cheers!John F. Dunbar
Item 3. Public Comment

Town of Yountville
Ordinance Number 22-515

AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE, CALIFORNIA ADDING CHAPTER 9.22 TO TITLE 9 OF THE YOUNTVILLE MUNICIPAL

CODE REGARDING SAFE FIREARM STORAGE
WHEREAS, the Town does not presently regulate firearm storage within residential locations;
WHEREAS, firearm injuries have a significant adverse public health and safety impact nationally, regionally, and locally;
WHEREAS, improperly stored firearms may result in accidental firearm injuries and/or deaths, particularly in homes with children;
WHEREAS, in California, numerous people die each year from injuries related to firearms, and many more are hospitalized for non-fatal gunshot wounds; WHEREAS, having a loaded or unlocked firearm in the home has been associated with an increased risk of firearm-related injury and death, as well as theft of the firearm;
WHEREAS, a firearm stored while loaded or unlocked increases the risk of an accidental shooting, and has been associated with higher risks of suicide; WHEREAS, quick access to a loaded firearm heightens the risk that a young person’s impulsive decision to commit suicide will be carried out without reflection or seeking help, and that the impulsive attempt will be fatal; WHEREAS, utilizing gun locks or lock boxes when storing firearms in the home reduces the risk of firearm injury and death, as well as theft; and WHEREAS, keeping a firearm locked when it is not being carried ensures that it cannot be accessed or used by others without the owner’s knowledge or permission, decreasing the risk that the gun will be used to commit suicide, homicide, or inflict injury, whether intentionally or unintentionally;
WHEREAS, the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend the safe storage of firearms;

Ordinance 22-515
1 9
4 4
5 WHEREAS, both gun control and gun rights activists, including the National Rifle Association, endorse the use of locking devices when storing firearms to ensure that unauthorized and untrained persons cannot access firearms to inflict injury or cause death;
WHEREAS, requiring stored, unsupervised firearms to be secured with gun locks or in a locked container does not substantially burden the right or ability to use firearms for self-defense in the home; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council finds that requiring safe storage of firearms would constitute a sensible safety regulation and would not be unduly burdensome for firearm owners.

Now, therefore, the Town Council of the Town of Yountville does ordain as follows:

Subject: Agenda Item Item 5C (427-2022)-- Support drafting of Safe Firearm Storage Ordinance Date: Monday, January 16, 2023 5:29:25 PM
Dear Napa City Council,
As a volunteer of Napa Valley Moms Demand Action and on behalf of fellow Napa community members who simply want to keep our friends and family safe from all forms of gun violence, I wholeheartedly support the Napa City Council to move forward in drafting the Safe Firearm Storage ordinance. To date, it appears that the St. Helena and Yountville City
Councils have already codified safe storage ordinances for their respective towns; Napa must align with our neighbors in order to keep this collective wine country community safe.

According to EveryTown GunSense Research, "We are all safer when guns are stored unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition. One study found that households that locked both firearms and ammunition were associated with a 78 percent lower risk of self-inflicted firearm injuries and an 85 percent lower risk of unintentional firearm injuries among children
and teens, compared to those that locked neither. Another estimated that if half of households with children that have at least one unlocked gun switched to locking all their guns, one-third of youth gun suicides and unintentional deaths could be prevented, saving an estimated 251 lives in a single year."
"Firearms are the leading cause of death for children and teens (ages 1 to 19) in the United States. Every year, 18,000 children and teens are shot and killed or wounded and approximately 3 million are exposed to gun violence. Children and teens in the U.S. are impacted by gun violence in all its forms. Exposure to gun violence has an impact on the psychological and mental well-being of children and teens and affects their school performance, among other factors. When homes, neighborhoods, and schools are not safe from gun violence, entire generations of American children are affected." (EveryTown Research and Policy).

Let's show the world that we are not only a world class wine destination, but we're also a world class GunSense community as well!
Thank you,
Lita Bruce

Dear Mayor Sedgley and respective City Councilmembers,
Thank you your time today.

I am writing in support of agenda 5C in support of our Napa City Council proceeding with a staff recommendation to create a Safe Firearm Storage Ordinace. I believe that in creating a Safe Firearms Storage Ordnance, parents and caregivers will be held to a higher standard, in protecting children in their care from firearms. I believe this ordinance will potentially save lives, and if one live is saved, it is worth it.

Sincerely,
Renee Cazares

Subject: Agenda Item 5C Safe Firearm Storage
Date: Monday, January 16, 2023 10:10:46 PM
Dear Napa City Council,
I am writing in support of The Napa City Council's move forward to provide a safe firearm storage ordinance. I have lived in Napa since 1990 and have raised my family here. I joined Napa Valley Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America shortly after the Pathway Home Shooting in Yountville where my daughter was on lockdown only a few hundreds yards from the shooting while her theatre group was practicing for an upcoming musical at the Lincoln Theatre.

That day changed her sense of feeling safe in
in the community she grew up in and has continued to resurface in her decisions such as finding a college she felt safe attending as well as other life changing decisions.

Our children deserve to feel safe
and I believe having a safe firearm storage ordinance is one way to add to their sense of security. We are all safer when guns are stored, unloaded, locked and stored separate from ammunition. Thank you for you consideration. Leslie Richmond

Introduction
My name is Joni Brown, and I am the Records Bureau
Administrator. In my role, I oversee Napa PD’s Records, Property & Evidence units. I have 7 FTE and 1 PTE in
Records and 2 FTE in Property & Evidence. Our Property & Evidence unit is our intake and housing for physical and digital evidence. They also hold items for safekeeping if found. You may think of police records as case files or crime reports. We also process information reports, traffic reports, citations, registrations, permits, fingerprinting, and much more. We manage the lobby; which is the place
where we come face-to-face with everyday citizens like you.

Changes to the Records
Bureau
MARK43
Napa Police Department was awarded a $1 million grant for a new Records Management System We officially went live December 6, 2022
NIBRS
NIBRS = National Incident-Based Reporting System
Part of the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting program
Intended to help government, criminologists, community planners, and others better understand crime patterns and trends
FBI has mandated all Law Enforcement Agencies across the country make this transition to NIBRS to improve the overall quality, accuracy, and timeliness of crime-data collected

NIBRS reporting

BEFORE NIBRS
9 BEFORE, UCR operated under a
hierarchy
Only the most serious crime was
reported
UCR had 8 “Serious Crime”
offenses, also known as Part 1
offenses such as Homicides, Rape,
Robbery, Aggravated Assault,
Burglary, Larceny, Motor Vehicle
Theft, Arson, & Human Trafficking.

NIBRS COLLECTS DETAILS ON VICTIMS, KNOWN OFFENDERS, ARRESTEES, AND PROPERTIES INVOLVED IN A CRIME No hierarchy rule exists
Allows up to 10 offenses per
incident
Expands the classification of
incidents to 52 (Group A) offenses
CRIME LOOKS HIGHER??
This may seem like the case, but it
is not necessarily the case
The reporting has changed making
it appear like crime is higher due
to the classification of numbers

WITH NIBRS

Examples
A person goes into a department store and steals three pairs of jeans and as they exit the store, they approach a person in the parking lot and yells “give me your cell phone or you will get hurt
.” Under UCR you would only record the robbery;
however, using NIBRS you report both the robbery
and the shoplifting.

Someone breaks into a residence with the intent to steal some items. The residents wake up and confront the burglar and a scuffle takes place. The burglar hits the husband in the head with a fireplace poker and pushes his wife to the floor. The burglar grabs some items and runs out the front door where he is apprehended by officers patrolling nearby. Both the husband and the wife recover from their injuries. In this incident, three criminal acts occurred – aggravated assault, simple assault, burglary. In the UCR system, using the hierarchy rule, only aggravated assault, the most serious offense would have been counted. In NIBRS system, all offenses are counted.

As you can see, the difference does not reflect an increase in criminal incidents but reflects the difference in the way criminal incidents are counted.

Thank you!

The Forecast….

The Forecast….

The Forecast….
• Is a model that shows us what
MIGHT happen in the future
• Revenue estimates based on our
current best guess of economic
outlook
• Expenditure estimates based on
historical growth rates → what
happens if we keep doing what we’ve
been doing

What is the forecast?
• A set of reasonable, most likely assumptions
about future revenues and expenditures based
on current budget/trends
• Changes to assumptions → Changes in the
forecast
• GFOA best practice for fiscal management
• Planning Tool
– Allows us to model future impacts of current budget
decisions
– Allows us to see surplus / deficit trends over time
– Assists us with making changes needed to avoid future deficits

The Forecast….
• Is not a budget – Council has final authority to
establish the budget and amend it as needed
• Is not a labor relations plan – Collective
bargaining is a separate process from
forecasting; assumptions in the forecast are for
modeling purposes only
• Is not a set of promises – COLA increase
assumptions, operating budget growth
assumptions, etc. are for modeling purposes only
• Is not set in stone – Assumptions are changed
over time in response to a variety of factors and
trends

Forecast
• What’s Included
– Economic Assumptions
– Major Development Currently Underway plus
Anticipated Growth
– Transfers Based on Current Fiscal Policy
• What’s Not Included
– ARPA Funding
– New Positions
– Funding for Current Unfunded Needs
– New or Enhanced Programs / Services

• Revenues are recovering but expect slower

• Potential future impacts from economic
slowdown, continued COVID-19 variants, etc.
• Expenditures have grown at a rapid pace; if
growth continues at this rate City will experience
operating deficits
• Reserves are sufficient to cover deficits, but
would need a plan to replenish reserves
34 Summary

What’s Next?
• January 31: City Council will be asked to set
budget priorities at their workshop
• February 21: FY23 Mid-Year Report; will update
revenue budgets
• City Staff will then compile recommendations
based on Council priorities for the FY 2023/24
and FY 2024/25 budget cycle. Going forward will
continue to use the Forecast and Mid-Year
Report to evaluate revenue and adjust budgets
as needed if growth differs from expectations.

Subject: Planning Commission

Mary, I’m writing to encourage you to support Bob Massaro to continue as
a Planning Commission for the City of Napa.

Bob has been a key individual on the Napa Housing Coalition to encourage developers to provide housing that is affordable.

Without his
knowledge and experience I don’t think we/NHC could be as effective as we’ve been.

I believe it’s time for Gordon Huether to move on. After 18 years on the PC, he has had an impact in Napa that has been admirable, however its’ time for new blood to participate in the Cities planning. I understand he is friends with all council members, but endorsements from elected officials should be based on what’s best for the city.

Thanks for hearing my perspective.

Best/Sharon

Subject: Re: Planning commission applicants - agenda item 12A - recommendation for Dell’Ario
Dear City Council Members:

I am writing with the highest recommendation for my friend and neighbor Charles Dell’ario.

As you can see from his application, Charles is a very capable and experienced attorney with a demonstrated interest in public service. His expertise on the Planning Commission would be a gift to all citizens of Napa.

I have served as a municipal law Attorney in other cities and have worked with a number of planning commission members. I think Charles presents you with the rare opportunity to add a sharp and respected legal mind to the council without adding substantial conflicts of interest.

He would also be a new commissioner
that would not require a great deal of training. Charles is also one of the most diplomatic and civil people I’ve met, even when addressing tough issues.

I hope you will consider adding Charles Dell’Ario to the Planning Commission.

Thank you.

Karin Troedsson
Alta Heights resident

The City Council conducts its meetings in accordance with the requirements of state law (the "Ralph M. Brown Act," California Government Code Sections 54950, et seq.) and the City's Rules of Order (Council Policy Resolution 19, R2016-6). Members of the public are expected to conduct themselves with courtesy and respect and comply with the Rules of Order.

PROCEDURES TO DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL:

Any member of the public may directly address the Council regarding: ( a) any matter identified on the agenda; or (b) during the Public Comment portion of the meeting for any matter within the Council's subject matter jurisdiction that is not identified on the agenda. Each speaker is requested to submit a speaker card or request to speak before the item is called to be addressed by Council (for Public Comment, Consent Calendar, Administrative Reports, Consent Hearings, or Public Hearings). Speaker cards are used to promote efficient and orderly progress of the meeting; however, a card is not required if the speaker otherwise makes a clear and timely request to address the Council.

Information on Speaker cards is subject to public disclosure under the California Public Records Act.

Speakers should direct comments to Mayor and Councilmembers, not the audience. Speakers are expected to yield the floor when the time limit is identified. For each item, speaking time is limited to no more than three minutes per person, unless otherwise specified for hearings and appeals, or at the discretion of the Mayor or City Council to address special circumstances. The Mayor may modify (increase or decrease) any time requirements for any speaker, or change the order of the items on the agenda, in accordance with the Rules of Order in order to facilitate the efficient and fair conduct of the meeting. This may include moving all or a portion of the Public Comment portion of the agenda to the end of the meeting (see Council Policy Resolution 19, R2016-6 section 6.1.4).

January 17, 2023REGULAR MEETING AGENDA
PUBLIC COMMENT:

The public may directly address the City Council on any matter within the Council ’s subject matter jurisdiction, including any matter that is not on the agenda. However, State law strictly limits the Council's authority to respond at the meeting to any matter that is not on the agenda.

CONSENT CALENDAR:

Items on the Consent Calendar are considered routine and may be approved by a single vote of the City Council.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:

Items on the Administrative Reports portion of the agenda do not require a public hearing prior to City Council taking the identified action.

CONSENT HEARINGS:

Items on the Consent Hearing portion of the agenda are considered routine and may be approved by a single vote of the City Council; however, any member of the public or City Council may remove an item for consideration during the Public Hearing portion of the agenda.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:

During any public hearing (which includes any appeal hearing), an opportunity will be provided for public testimony when any person may directly address the City Council. Applicants (or appellants) are allowed 10 minutes to present testimony at the beginning of the public hearing, and if needed, 5 minutes to present rebuttal at the end of the public testimony. All other speakers will be limited to times established by the Mayor under the Procedures to Directly Address the City Council (above).

CLOSED SESSION:

The City Council is authorized to meet in closed session, without attendance by the public, on limited confidential topics such as pending litigation, real property negotiations, or personnel or labor matters.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) is the state law that requires the City to evaluate and document the potential environmental consequences of discretionary decision. (See, California Public Resources Code Sections 21000 21189.3; and the “CEQA Guidelines” at California Code of Regulations Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Sections 15000 15387). For each item that requires a CEQA determination by City Council, there is a reference to that determination on this agenda, and more information regarding the CEQA analysis is included in the documents that accompany this Agenda. To the extent that City staff determines that particular items are not subject to CEQA, there will be no indication of a CEQA action on this Agenda.

CHALLENGES TO DECISIONS MADE BY THE CITY COUNCIL:

If a person wishes to file a legal challenge to any decision made by the City Council, you may be limited to raising only those issues which you or someone else raised during the meeting, or in a written communication received by the City Clerk prior to or during the meeting. In addition, a legal challenge may be limited or barred where the interested party has not sought and exhausted all available administrative remedies. The time limit to commence any legal challenge may be subject to strict timing requirements, and failure to comply with applicable timing requirements may result in a legal challenge being barred. Any lawsuit or legal challenge to any quasi adjudicative decision made by the City Council is governed by Section 1094.6 of the Code of Civil Procedure, unless a shorter limitation period is specified by any other provision. Under Section 1094.6, any lawsuit or legal challenge to any quasi adjudicative decision made by City Council must be filed no later than the 90th day following the date on which such decision becomes final.

Napa Planning Commission
Attn: Tiffany Carazza, City Clerk
Comments in Support of Charles Dell’Ario
Agenda Item 12A

Hello,
I am writing in support of Chuck Dell’Ario’s application for the Napa Planning Commission. Chuck and I worked together on a community project as part of the Leadership Napa Valley program.

Chuck was a leader among leaders. I know him to be highly knowledgeable with the polished diplomatic skills suited to a seat on the planning commission. Beyond this, Chuck is considerate, circumspect, and compassionate. He takes a long view of problems and their potential solutions, working hard to achieve ideal outcomes. Chuck also has a lifetime of experience in northern California and beyond. I can think of no one better suited to the job.

Chuck is the only candidate who notes the lack of groceries and local services in much of the east side of Napa.

I see this as a problem as well, particularly as the community works to reduce car traffic and greenhouse gas emissions. I live in Brown’s Valley and I count myself lucky to have all of these services in walking distance. I know that my neighbors do as well.

Sincerely,

Molly Hodgins
Viticulture Professor

[EXTERNAL]
Dear Mayor Sedgley, Vice Mayor Painter, and Councilmembers Alessio, Luros, and Narvaez,
Thank you for your good work! Napa is an amazing, resilient community in which CrossWalk Community Church has served since 1860. We are very proud of this city, and I am grateful that it has capable, forward-thinking, empathetic and compassionate leadership.

You are challenged with incredibly complex
decisions as part of your role that are always popular with some and unpopular
with others. You have my prayerful support!
I am writing to you today in support of Bob Massaro as he seeks another two year appointment on the City of Napa Planning Commission.

I know you
already know Bob, but I wanted to share how much I have appreciated getting to know him over the last four years.

I don't know anybody who is more up to
date on issues related to developing in ways that are kind to the environment and remain cost-effective.

I have also been deeply impressed by his
commitment to lifelong learning and empathy toward people of many backgrounds (in part because he grew up in a challenging environment).

Spend five minutes with Bob and you will realize that he has a deep commitment to an extremely challenging issue for Napa: affordable housing.

He not only understands the basic problem, he is fully aware of all the related problems that are created when people are forced to live outside the community they work, especially if they have children.

Bob knows his stuff! He

cares deeply, and thinks very creatively about ways to address such challenges.

Bob has helped CrossWalk think through some potential development on our property, which may include affordable housing and space for childcare. His patience, knowledge, professionalism, and no-pressure approach have really impressed our leadership.

We trust him.

Thank you for considering Bob for another appointment as a Planning Commissioner. His wisdom will serve Napa well in the near and long term.

Sincerely,
Pete

I served on the Napa County 2017-18 Grand Jury with Chuck Dell’Ario as our foreperson.

And I am happy to hear that he has applied to serve on the City of Napa’s Planning Commission. He is delightful to work with as a leader. He challenged us, educated us, and influenced us to work hard as jurists.

C
omments on Agenda Item 12.A. Planning Commission Membership I h
ave recently retired as the Director of Public Health Nursing and the Maternal, Child and Adolescent D
irector after 32 years of public service with Napa County Public Health. I was also a commissioner on t
he Napa County First Five Commission for 15 years and am a new member of Napa Climate NOW! I am writing this letter in support of Bob Massaro, Planning Commissioner, and to request the City Council members elect him for another two-year term as a Napa City Planning Commissioner.

I first met Bob over fifteen years ago when we were doing collaborative work on the Napa County Asthma Coalition, and we have been trusted colleagues and friends since that time. Over the years, I have witnessed Bob’s career as a successful entrepreneur and businessman as the CEO of Healthy Buildings, and his commitment to building a thriving community for the health and well-being of all people, the planet, and the built environment. Bob is a dedicated public servant and has contributed to numerous causes and worked on many coalitions, including the Housing Coalition and the First Five Children and Families Commission Napa Network; a network of community leaders working together to solve some of the intractable issues facing children and families in our community. Bob also has a Master’s in Public Health, so in addition to his skills as a developer, architect, contractor, and planner, he has a public health perspective on the physical health and social determinants of health of both individuals and the community.

Bob brings a unique and essential set of skills and expertise to the Planning Commission that represent a broad and diverse range of perspectives. He is highly intelligent, has excellent logic, analytical and problem-solving skills, and is able to take both a global viewpoint and examine the details and complexity of any project, situation or issue. Bob also has highly refined relational skills, is a deep listener, empathic, fair, impartial, ethical and will always take the equitable path for the highest good of the community rather than representing one sector or special interest. Bob also has excellent facilitation skills and is able to bring people together from diverse points of view and guide them towards shared goals and common good.

In addition, as a mother and grandmother, I have deep concerns and grief about climate change and the current and impending devastating consequences for our children, grandchildren, community and future generations. Climate change is our most dire and existential issue impacting all of humanity and disproportionately our children, elderly, people of color, people in poverty and future generations, and exacerbates existing inequities. I commend Bob’s work on the Planning Commission, the other Planning Commissioners, and the City Council for assuring the inclusion of the Public Health and Equity and Climate Change and Sustainability Elements of the 2040 General Plan. Napa Climate NOW! honored Bob in 2022 as one of their Climate Champions, and I know Bob will bring his expertise in green building and climate change to the Planning Commission. Decision making to combat climate change is complex and involves and impacts many sectors, and I know Bob will bring his respect, impartiality, and equitable consideration to all decisions the Planning Commission will face on these issues.

I w
ould ask the City Council to vote to continue Bob Massaro’s membership as a Planning Commissioner.

B
ob will continue to make great contributions to the Planning Commission which will surely benefit the e
ntire community.

Comments in Support of Charles Dell’Ario for the Planning Commission Agenda Item 12A

I am writing to support Chuck Dell’Ario’s application for the Napa Planning Commission. I worked with Chuck during Leadership Napa Valley’s Class 34 and saw him emerge as one of Class 34’s most influential leaders. Chuck has an innate ability to impact the people around him positively. Chuck thinks strategically, works problems through with others carefully and methodically, is interested in what is being said, is willing to ask hard questions, and actively listens before he speaks. Chuck leads with the rare gift of being a servant leader. Chuck’s lifetime of work in law, as well as his community involvement, has given hope and help to many people – including me. Chuck will be an incredible asset to the Planning Commission.

Warm regards, Mary

Dear Mayor and City Councilmembers,
As residents of Napa for 34 years, we are very interested in having a competent and resident- focused Planning Commission. This is why we are writing in support of appointing Bob Massaro to another term on the Planning Commission. Bob is currently the only Commissioner with experience as a contractor.

This has allowed him to give staff and project developers specific recommendations that improve a project. We followed the General Plan update meetings and again, Commissioner Massaro had
recommendations that made the 2040 Plan stronger and more concise.

We ask the City Council to appoint Bob Massaro to the Planning Commission.

Thank you,
Jason and Christina Benz

To Whom it May Concern,
I write to highly recommend Mr. Chuck Dell'Ario for the appointment to the planning commission (item 12a). Mr. Dell'Ario is a servant leader who brings concern for his community and its people to work on the planning commission.

I have known Mr. Dell'Ario over the course of the last five years where I have witnessed his service to the students of Justin-Siena High School. Mr. Dell'Ario has been a Justin-Siena Mock Trial coach for over a decade to our students. He has coached with care, intelligence, and taught students to be effective mock trial participants. Justin-Siena Mock Trial has been Napa County Mock Trial Champions for a full decade under his leadership.

I highly recommend Chuck Dell'Ario for service to the Napa community. He brings a vast knowledge of the community and its people to the work. Mr. Dell'Ario will bring an articulate voice and great insights to the planning commission.

Ms. Carazza
Clerk, City of Napa
Tiffany,
Please accept and distribute the following statement regarding my support of Mr. Dell’Ario’s application for the Plann
ing Commission opening.

To: City Council of Napa
This letter is in support of Mr. Alan Charles Dell’Ario (Chuck) for appointment to the Planning Commission.

I have known Chuck for 5+ years here in Napa beginning with our public service work and I can unequivocally endorse
him for the open position on the Planning Commission.

We met while serving on the 2017/18 Napa County Grand Jury, where Chuck was unanimously selected as the foreperson. He
brought needed and necessary skills to the role, as we dealt with complex county issues, including la
nd use policies. His diplomatic organization abilities, measured leadership, clear communication, intelligence and humo
r certainly contributed to the Grand Jury’s effectiveness.

And what may be one of his best skills, exhibited by his professional success, is Chuck’s ability to get a group to focus on a
n issue and get agreement on practical solutions. Such negotiating skills would undoubtedly be a great benef
it to the Planning Commission’s purpose and objectives.

While public art matters, indeed a worthy endeavor for the city, a majority of ordinary citizens want and need sound, com
mon-sense land use policies that benefit many individuals and communities within Napa, as well as the public good. Chuck w
ill certainly bring his intelligence, practical and strategic vision, public service enthusiasm and legal exper
ience to the Planning Commission. The city of Napa needs Chuck.

I whole-heartedly support the appointment of Mr. Dell’Ario to the City of Napa Planning Commission.

Sincerely,
Kenzie Scott Nicoll

Dear Mayor Sedgley and Napa City Council Members,

Re: Agenda item 12.A, the appointment of 2 Planning Commissioners. It is my hope that you will find another commissioner to take the place of Gordon Heuther. Mr. Heuther, while wildly talented, has served on this Commission for way too long. He embodies the complaint of so many residents of Napa; that he’s a member of the “good old boys club”. Time for some new talent folks! Let’s not let Napa get stale.

Thank you for your consideration,

Carol Whichard

Dear Councilwoman Painter,
I am writing today, to urge you to replace Gordon Heuther with a new candidate for the Planning Commission. I am an artist, teacher and curator who has lived and worked in Napa Valley for 34 years. I have known Gordon Heuther since 1990 and have watched him reach commercial success during that time. Since relocating my studio to Napa in 2013, I became more aware of how many GH sculptures there are in Napa. I always found it perplexing knowing the rich resources of artists working in the public art realm who live in Napa County and the Bay Area. And then I understood.

Mr. Heuther’s position on the planning
commission, gives him an unfair advantage of seeing projects coming down the pipe, preparing a pitch and then reaching out directly to the developers. The optics do not look good.

Mr. Heuther does not accurately represent the diversity and richness of the Napa art and design community and the city council
has kept him in place for far too
long. There is a perception it is a network of familiarity, out of touch and insensitive to the needs of the community. The city continues to grow and evolve and needs fresh eyes, expertise and energy on the Planning Commission. Instead of sticking with the ordinary,
the city has the potential to do something
extraordinary. The community deserves and demands this change and this is an opportunity to let us know you are listening.

Respectfully,
Nancy Willis

Attn: City Clerk
Item 12.a
Regarding Planning Commission Apointee
I'm writing in support of applicant Alan "Chuck" Dell'Ario for Planning Commission membership.

Chuck is an intelligent, solution-oriented Napa resident who would make an excellent addition to the Planning Commission.

I met Chuck through Leadership Napa Valley when he was a classmate and eventually, a teammate for a breakout project where we created a database to serve the youth of Napa Valley. I found Chuck to be an excellent leader who is driven to get things done. He's not afraid to ask the tough questions or speak of the elephant in the room. Not only does he
have great ideas of his own but Chuck is also a listener, willing to hear out ideas from others and then put ego aside, build consensus and execute the best of all the ideas on the table.

Chuck's dedication to Napa shows through his many years as a Mock Trial Attorney Coach at Justin- Siena High School, his service on the Napa County Grand Jury, and his participation in Leadership Napa Valley. In my opinion, his years as a Mock Trial coach shows his ability to relate to a young demographic while also holding a position of authority. Reaching a younger audience would be a benefit to The City of Napa by leading to improved engagement.

In conclusion, with no conflicts of interest, Chuck is able to do the job completely and without bias. I hope you will appoint Alan "Chuck" Dell'Ario for Planning Commission membership.

Thank you,
Amy Linn
