using Burden: % of after-tax income paid for rent
or ownership (these data are just rentals)
• A percent over 50% is considered “severely
burdened” in housing advocacy circles
• City of Napa near 25% of renters since 2010
• Caveats
• Burden is a function of housing costs and
incomes
•
Napa is 10

After the City Council Agenda packet was published for the Regular Meeting on June 20, 2023, a typo was identified in Exhibit A for Attachment 1 on item 5.I. City of Napa Fiscal Policy Update
. On Page

13 of Exhibit A, in Fiscal Policy section 19.b.i, the phrase “The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager City to maintain” should be replaced with “The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to maintain.” This correction will be made in the
published version of the Fiscal Policy after adoption of the update via resolution.

spaces do not meet level of professional
standards

2 0 years ago, need identified for new City buildings. Master plan developed in 2004. (Work began in 2000)
Go
als—City buildings
:
•
Flexible framework to base facility
decisions
•
Cost effective means to provide needed
space
•
Consolidation of departments in City
owned facilities
•
Establish standardized, appropriately
sized workspaces
•
Co-locates like functions and provide
for space sharing
•
Creates a symbolic and recognizable
civic core by developing a City Hall
campus and plaza
Needs—City buildings
:
•
Are inadequately sized
•
Have deficient infrastructure
•
Do no fully support current
operations
•
No space for growth

Page 7 of 22 ends

I
n 2009, alternatives were developed for the City Hall and Community Services Building properties.

O
ne of several alternatives
developed

A
nalysis proceeded but
joint project did not
move forward beyond
initial evaluation

Page 9 of 22 ends
Page 47 of 60 ends

T
en years ago, restarted looking at
options.

Buildings
in poor condition
Limited investments being made to repair
and maintain
Departments were (and still are)
overcrowded
Space unevenly distributed and inefficient
Leased space for offices and to provide
services
Facilities out of date regarding technology,
current building codes, and essential
services construction (for public safety)

W
ork from 2014-2018 was focused on
a concept to develop project through a
public-private partnership
Ne
w City Hall and Public Safety Building
(“Civic Center”) on CSB, with new Fire Station
#1 on the Housing Authority property,
expanded Clay Street Parking Garage
Private developer to acquire the City Hall
property to develop for housing, hotel, and
retail
Property value and increased tax revenue to
offset costs of the public buildings
Required temporary building space “swing
space” for police, fire, and offices—very
complicated
