ECONOMIC
IMPACT OF TOURISM
Revenue from tourism allows
local government to invest in
services and programs that
benefit all residents, including
infrastructure improvements,
civic amenities, and public safety.
A healthy tourism economy
creates demand for a diverse
range of goods, services, and
cultural programs that are
available for both residents and
visitors to enjoy, enhancing our
quality of life.

Homelessness-What We Know:
• Federal and State court rulings and laws; it is not a crime to be homeles
s and certain rights are protected unless adequate shelter is available
• Currently do not have shelter beds for all experiencing homelessness in the c
ommunity
• Housing First Model
• Criminal justice laws have changed in California in last decade • Governor Newsom and State Legislature have prioritized funds for homeles
s services with the lens of resolving the experience of homelessness in a person-centered way
ATTACHMENT 1
UCSF Benioff Study 2023:
• The homeless population is aging—over 47% is 50+
• 90% of participants lost their most recent housing in California • 75% live in the same County where they were last housed • 60% of participants were not the lease holder in their last housing situation---often they were doubled up or living with family/friends
• While participants were disconnected from the job market and employment services, nearly 50% were looking for work
• 2/3 of participants experienced mental health symptoms • 1/3 reported experiencing physical or sexual violence in this episode of homelessness
• 1/3 of participants have visited the emergency room in the last six months
• 1 in 5 who used substances reported wanting substance abuse treatment services but being unable to access treatment Conclusion
• Homelessness is truly the result of the lack of affordable housing, and focus needs
to be on providing units and the support services necessary to not only house clients but maintain housing.

Members of the Napa City Council
Re: Agenda item 15.A.
Dear Members of the Napa City Council,
Napa Valley Community Foundation (NVCF) is pleased to offer our support for the Napa City Council’s approval of the Motel 6 Project and Agenda Item 15.A.
Our philanthropic work in Napa County has led us to believe that the lack of affordable housing is the primary driver of poverty in Napa County, and fighting poverty and supporting affordable housing is one of our key funding areas. However, as a small community foundation in a semi- rural locale where philanthropic giving is $75 per capita compared to $678 per capita in nearby San Francisco, supporting affordable housing and homeless prevention is a challenge that local philanthropy cannot take on alone.
Solving the complex problem of homelessness requires a multi-faceted approach to solutions, including increasing the supply of permanent supportive housing, non- congregate shelter, social and behavioral health supports, economic-wage justice, and housing that is affordable to our low-wage workforce. This program is one of many innovative “tools in the toolbox” to alleviate and address the problem of homelessness in our community. NVCF is investing in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) as another “tool in the toolbox,” and therefore we have not made significant investments in programs such as the proposed Motel 6 Project.
To that end, we are excited to see the Motel 6 Project move forward, and we are proud to hear that the City of Napa was awarded the fourth largest grant of all California communities, surpassing more populous jurisdictions , like the City and County of San Francisco.
We understand that it is a best practice to move individuals out of encampments and into housing, particularly non-congregate sheltering with social and behavioral health service support onsite, as well as funds to assist clients with basic necessities as they prepare to transition to permanent housing. We have observed Napa County run a similar program during the pandemic at the former Wine Valley Lodge on Coombs St. (now Valley Lodge Apartments, a 54-room permanent supportive housing complex.) During that time, the program assisted a total of 78 clients. 70% of those clients moved to permanent housing through the program. An additional 20% chose to enroll in residential treatment (recovery) programs through the program. Because of Item 15.A.

this, we know that our community and local government have a successful track record of like projects.
As a licensed business and commercial property owner in the City of Napa, o ur offices at the Sato Family Nonprofit Center on Claremont Way are home to 12 youth -serving nonprofits, and we are situated just a little more than a half mile from the Motel 6 site.
At nights and on weekends, we have unhoused individuals seeking shelter on our property nearly daily. This is all the more reason that we encourage and support a nearby site serving as proper housing for individuals experiencing homelessness. We see the addition of 24/7 staffing and onsite security services, as well as additional fencing around the site, and security cameras on -property and in the surrounding areas as a value-add to the neighborhood.
On behalf of the Board and staff of NVCF, we applaud the City of Napa’s efforts, support the approval of the Motel 6 P roject, and encourage your approval of funding this important housing opportunity.
Sincerely yours,
Julia DeNatale
Vice President of Community Impact

Re: State Grant
– Mot
el 6 – Enc
ampment ResoluLon Program vote
Dear May
or, Vice Mayor and Councilmembers,
I have been a resident and business owner in Napa for 7 years and love this city for its beautiful views, rel
axed fee
l, and
low crime rat
e. This city has
been a g
reat place to raise children and own a business.
How
ever, I would like to express my frustration and concern tha t the pos
sible conversion of Mot
el 6 on
Sola
no Avenue into an Enc
ampment Resolution Program hou
sing fac
ility may put
all these things at risk.
I am aware that off
ering bed
s to t
he homeless is the Sta
te’s motivation in off
ering this
grant, but I feel
tha
t con
verting Mot
el 6 t
o a homeless housing facility will do little to reduce the current encampments, red
uce cri
me or
reduce ove
rall number of unhoused persons in N
apa. An Enc
ampment Resolution
Pro
gram in Motel 6 wil
l likely increase all
these things, directly affecting the 22 businesses, 2 s chools and
the
neighborhood in a
nd around Redwood and Solano.
During several meetings with the cit
y, it was eye
-opening to hear the difficulties loc
al off
icials fac
e in
red
ucing encampments in a
ddition to the
negative eff
ects tha
t unchecked homelessness brin
gs in the
way
of cri
me, tra
sh, and dec
reased quality of life for the residents in the area. Nap a Cit
y and County
rep
resentatives hav
e claimed that once beds are
available, they can hold Cal
trans and oth
er agencies
acc
ountable to keeping these encampments clear. For
a brief period, the areas und
er the Imola Bridge
and
behind Motel 6 were cleared, yet both have developed encampments again.
In fact, since con
verting Win
e Valley Lodge to be an Encampment Resolution Program housing facility, the
encampment under the Imola Bridge is the wor
st I h
ave seen, ever! (Pic
tures att
ached). I w
itnessed
filth
, fec
es and urine smell, sto
len carts, stolen per
sonal property (ma
il and other items), stolen store
mer
chandise, gra
ffiti, evid
ence of fires and multiple tents that appear to hav
e been the
re for quite some
time
. I d
id not recognize any of the homeless individuals, which begs the question, is t his Encampment
Res
olution Program bringing new hom
eless individuals to t
he area? For
you to get
a true sense of the
mag
nitude of the problems, I request for you to per
sonally visit the Imo
la Bridge encampment and
the
Win
e Valley Lodge prior to casting your vote on the Motel 6 Encampment Resolution Program con
version. I suggest you take police protection and wear personal protection equipment for your safety.
Item 15.A.
ATTACHMENT 1
In speaking with managers of a grocery store on the south end of town, they report cart collection efforts have quadrupled in the past few months from once every-other-week to twice a week; they share this is putting strain on their business. Additionally, business owners in the River Park Shopping Center say that aggressive confrontations, theft, trash, and misuse of the restrooms have seen a sharp rise. As a resident of the River Park area, I notice more transient people in the shopping centers and my neighborhood. Simply going for a walk or bike ride feels unsafe now. It has become apparent that adding beds makes life worse for the residents and businesses. None of this should come as a surprise to you.
Several business owners and residents have shared their concerns about converting the Motel 6 into an Encampment Resolution Program housing facility by speaking at City Council Meetings and sharing with the city managers at the special sessions, which the Deputy City Manager set up. The concerns shared include but are not limited to:
• Increased theft at homes and businesses.
• Increased loitering and panhandling.
• Increased trash and human waste in public areas.
• Increased damage to property.
• Increased graffiti.
• Increased illegal drug trafficking, discarded needles, and other drug paraphernalia. • Decreased customer count and sales in businesses.
• Decreased personal safety for the employees.
• Decreased personal safety for the children and families who live, walk and bike near Redwood and Solano.
The concerns shared with city leaders are based upon real-life experiences while dealing with the residents of the encampments behind Motel 6 and the residents of Motel 6 itself. These real-life experiences have improved or worsened based upon the population size in and around Motel 6. All these concerns have been shared with city managers, and invariably, their response is “we cannot help you”, “call Police dispatch and file a complaint”. It seems city leaders are turning a blind eye to the concerns of its residents and business owners while our neighborhoods are becoming filthy, our businesses are suffering, and our children are feeling less safe.
In closing, I urge you to vote against the Motel 6 – Encampment Resolution Program, especially with what you have witnessed from the Wine Valley Lodge conversion and the effects this caused on the south end of town. If you choose to vote yes, you are knowingly putting residents and businesses at risk of having an unsafe neighborhood, increased crime, diminished sales, and a lower quality of life. Thank you for your time and attention to this serious matter.

Re: Public Comment Regarding July 18, 2023 City Council Meeting Agenda Item 15.A 261-2023:
Dear: Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Councilmembers:
As the property owner of the Redwood Plaza shopping center (Center) located at the corner of Solano Avenue and Redwood Road in Napa, we submit this comment letter to the City Council (Council) of Napa regarding Agenda Item 15.A 261-2023: Encampment Resolution Funding Program Grant which the Council will consider at its meeting on July 18, 2023 (Project).
While we are generally supportive of the Project's objectives, Abode's operation of it, we have concerns given the already significant impacts we are experiencing at Redwood Plaza from certain unhoused populations that are in our neighborhood.
We have seen increases in crimes, acts of indecent exposure, and litter impacting the patrons and the business owners in Redwood Plaza. We had to hire a security firm to better provide a pleasant and safe experience at Redwood Plaza. In 2022 security services increased 4.5% over 2021. The annual security expense is greater than our annual Real Estate Tax expense! This year we had to install additional signage throughout the Plaza due to the number and frequency of the unhoused loitering at the Center cost $6,000.00. We recently contracted with a firm for security cameras at the Center- cost $40,000.00.
Day Janitor expense for 2022 increased a whopping 51.5% due to the increased trash, graffiti, excrement, etc. While these measures have alleviated some of the pressures, it has not eliminated them.
We would like this supportive housing project to be a success for all parties: the City, adjacent business owners and residents (including senior residents in Aegis Living, middle-school students and Abode) as it serves the unhoused populations receiving the supportive services they need.
In this spirit of mutual success, DeMatei & Co., Inc. would like to express some actions which the City must agree to enact to help alleviate concerns from adjacent business owners:
1. Have the City increase the Project's janitorial services budget to include expanded janitorial service to adjacent businesses' common spaces which face impacts;
2. Have Abode provide adjacent business owners and residents a dedicated phone number that business owners and residents may call to resolve potential issues that stem from Project residents;
ATTACHMENT 1
3. Have Abode, for the first two years of the Project's operation, host monthly community meetings to discuss operational issues and resolution of potential impacts to the adjacent business owners and residents;
4. Have Abode schedule its security guard for regular patrols of adjacent businesses to prevent increases in any potential criminal and nuisance activities.
Our specific request is that items 1 through 4 be included as part of the Council's budget approval action and that these items be included in the Project's annual budget for the duration of the Project or that the Council resolution accepting the grant award specifically commit to these 4 items.
Sincerely,
DeMatei & Co., Inc.

Dear Councilmenbers,
This is to encourage you to quickly and solidly endorse your agenda item 15A 261-2023 dealing with the
"Encampment Resolution Funding Program Grant". As you know, it authorizes the city departments to enter into an agreement to use the above grant to provide temporary housing and support services at the facility now known as Motel 6 on Solono Ave.
Lately, there have been some "neighborhood" NIMBYs who have mounted a Next Door campaign to discourage your approval of moving forward finding housing for the unhoused in Napa.
I, too, live in the neighborhood of Redwood Road and Solono Avenue and find a reason to go to that area at least once a day. Do I see the unhoused encampment residents in the shopping area? Yes. Have I taken time to speak with any of them and ask if I could get them something at the store, or in some small way help them? Yes. Have I ever felt unsafe when an unhoused person sits at Starbucks, walks the street, sits in front of the Bargain Market or at the tables?
Absolutely NOT. They have been respectful and polite and, for the most part, try to avoid me.
Realistically, there may be some issues as the project unfolds. I observed those issues being quickly solved during the Room Key program at the same Motel 6. Based on my observation as a neighbor who frequents that area, and who has occasionally called Molly's office, I believe Molly Brattigan's office is doing a stellar job of supporting Napa's unhoused residents in a way that provides dignity to all of us. There, but for the grace of ............
Please vote YES on Agenda Item 15A 261-2023 on July 18th Napa City Council Agenda.
Thank you.
Sincerely, Barbara Pahre,

Dear Mayor Sedgely and Council Members,
I am sending my support for the City’s acceptance of State funds for the leasing of Motel 6 on Solano Avenue with the purpose of helping homeless individuals get into needed housing. There is clear evidence in many parts of Napa that such housing is desperately needed. I was very pleased to see that City staff has made significant efforts to address the very real concerns of neighboring residents and businesses with added security, fencing, and other tools.
I recognize that these are very difficult decisions and I do not for a minute wish that I were in your place. I also would have liked to have been there to address you in person but I cannot at this time.
Thank you for your kind consideration.

Ms. Carranza,
I wholeheartedly support the proposed action to lease and utilize the Motel 6 property on Solano Ave. for the resettlement of homeless and other deserving people.
This is precisely the
time of government action is needed to address the issue. The Council should see that the benefits to the community overall outweigh the concerns of the neighbors and others.
