Supplemental - Item 6.C.
From: City Staff
▸ U.S. economy has been characterized by:
▹ High inflation. Peaked at 9.1% in June 2022 and, while now at 3.7%, is still above t
he Fed’s 2% target.
▹ Stronger than expected GDP. A recession in 2023 appeared likely at the start of t
he calendar year, but growth for the first three quarters has been relatively strong.
▹ Resilient labor market. Unemployment rate below 4% since February 2022. ▹ Headwinds exist. Higher energy prices, elevated geopolitical risks, high inflation, a
nd reduced consumer savings, could lead to a recession in the next year. ▸ Fed h as hiked rates over 500 basis points (5.00%) since March 2022. ▹ For 10 consecutive meetings the Fed raised the target rate, bringing it from 0 .00% to 0.25% to its current range of 5.25% to 5.50%. ▹ Potential for one additional rate hike in 2023.
▹ Market currently has a “higher- for-longer” mindset.
▸ Interest rates are at their highest levels since 2006- 07. ▹ Yield curve is inverted.
▹ Higher yields present great opportunities for City’s future earnings. ▹ Increase in rates has negatively impacted market values.

City Council MembersNov,2023
I have some general concerns regarding the availability of information to the public and specific concerns with my area.
At one time, it was possible to look at and read the General Plan at our local library, the Planning Department or at City Hall. You could also check out materials on an upcoming development or the General Plan from the Planning Department to take home overnight. Hard copy materials are no longer made available to the general public unless they pay for them. Can the City reinstate this practice? My major (and personal), concern is of the water diverted to Salvador Creek. Once upon a time, there were three creeks in the area that joined the Napa River at Trancas Crossing. Pre-1985, Garfield Park property frequently flooded and there was a seasonal pond on the north side of Garfield Ln.
The neighborhood is aware that there are flood events that occur at the Garfield bridge of Salvador Creek. Soon after the Silverado Creek subdivision was completed the area flooded. The city is aware there are problems but it does not address the increase of depth, frequency, velocity, nor the severe erosion caused by the flood events.
Shouldn't the city address these issues?
When the EIR and other studies were done for the Big Ranch Road Specific Plan (BRRSP), I was concerned about the species of interest. Amongst the life forms I had seen, there had been small blue butterflies, bats, salmon and western pond turtles that were of special concern. I was told that the salmon were only lost, that the creek was
man-made so there would be no native salmon. I researched and found this to be inaccurate. The creek was man manipulated.
When the 2020 General Plan came into being, rather than making a new study or EIR for that property north and west of the specific plan area the city only extended the of BRRSP's coverage.
Recently, I became aware that the County Board of Supervisors had not disputed information passed on to FEMA. It was claimed that the Salvador Creek drained an area of 2.2 miles. At the time, I told the Board that this was not true.
Only recently, I had reason to contact FEMA. I believe they continue to use information that is not true. I was told that the information they receive comes from the City of Napa's Planning department. Can the Planning department verify what information they have sent on to FEMA?
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) which is managed by FEMA posted on their website that "...just one inch of floodwater can cause up to $25,000 in damage..."
I understand that the City has 2 more projects that will ultimately drain to Salvador Creek within the Planning Dept. How can any hydrology study or plan be accurate if the information the study is based on is wrong?
I am concerned with the connection of Sierra Ave to Villa Lane. The City held meetings open to the general public and certain slowing down measures were agreed upon.
Those measures are no longer a part of the new plan. The general public has not been made aware of this change. The walkability of the neighborhood will be lost. Will the city lower the speed limit thru the park property (as it is lowered thru park property on Garfield Ln)? The city had also agreed to make changes to the crossing at El Capitan Way. Is this still a part of the plan?
Sierra Ave is not wide enough to be considered a collector Street. From Lassen St east, to Jefferson, there are no sidewalks and people walk in the street. I believe it is most threatening after dark. I am concerned that it will only become more dangerous for those people who live on Sierra Ave, walk to the 7-11, and those children who attend the grammar school or families that attend church on Lassen St. at the very least, can the speed limit be lowered in this area?
Villa Lane is also dangerous. First of all, the directional signs painted on the streets have worn away and have been illegible for several years (I would take a can of white spray paint and fix it but I don't want to be arrested for the defacing of public property); can the City remedy this?
Trancas St to Blackberry can be treacherous. There are several elder seniors living who live and walk (using walkers) on Villa Ln. From 9 am to 5 pm (between Trancas St. and Firefly) cars are constantly entering and exiting doctor's or medical offices. They often fail to "look both ways" and just pull into the Lane. For safety's sake can the speed limit be lowered? Students walk to school walk to and from school along Villa Ln. Cars often speed to the north end of the lane.
If a death occurs on Villa Ln or Sierra Ave, will this connection be discontinued?

Vintage Farm Subdivision
Comments and Concerns Regarding Proposed Subdivision
Robert Gligorea, Blackberry Drive resident for 24 years
• Tenta�ve Subdivision Map and Design Review states that house plans descrip�on includes “back-on” and “side-on” fence treatment but doesn’t explain what this is. Numerous Google searches fail to find a descrip�on of what “back-on” or “side-on” fence treatment is. Need writen explana�on from builder to be able to provide appropriate comment.
• Will streets in new subdivision be wide enough to allow dual direc�on vehicle travel when vehicles are parked on both sides of the street? Streets in Silverado Creek Subdivision are not wide enough to permit this.
• Landscaping plan indicates that a majority of the exis�ng Sycamore trees on Villa Lane would be maintained except for 15 trees along the Southeast side of the project site that will be removed to allow an addi�onal street connec�on from Villa Lane to the internal streets as well as an addi�onal bioreten�on facility. There are currently only 29 Sycamore trees on the West side of Villa Lane. So it appears that a majority of the exis�ng trees will be cut down rather than be maintained. What is the requirement for these trees to be removed?
• The Landscaping plan indicates that the Sycamore trees to be cut down are along the Southeast side of the project site. However, a review of the detailed Landscaping Plan indicates that most of the trees to be cut down are along the Northeast side of the project? Which is it? • Dozens of people walk their dogs on the shaded sidewalk on the West side of Villa Lane each day. If the Sycamore trees are cut down, will addi�onal trees be planted to provide shade on this sidewalk or will there be no shade in the future on this sidewalk? Many of the people who walk their dogs on this sidewalk do not live within 500 feet of the proposed subdivision and will not have received any prior no�fica�on about this proposed subdivision nor the elimina�on of the shade on the sidewalk where they are currently walking their dogs.
• The Project Descrip�on Document indicates that the subdivision is designed with a rear yard landscape treatment along the East side of lots 24 to 32 adjacent to Villa Lane. The landscaping treatment will consist of a mixture of trees and small shrubs with a 6 foot tall fence. If the landscaping plan is to include trees, why are 15 mature Sycamore trees being removed? • The builder has not provided a plan to minimize dust during the building of the subdivision. Although comments were made during the planning commission that dust would only be a problem during the ini�al stages of construc�on when earth was being moved, that is not true for the soil types that are present on the construc�on site. During construc�on of the Silverado Creek Subdivision, there were 2 or more inches of loose soil on top of each lot and the evening winds caused a great deal of dust in our neighborhood.
• Will the houses in the new subdivision be added to the exis�ng Silverado Creek Maintenance District? This maintenance district is currently paying for the maintenance of the exis�ng landscaping along Villa Lane including tree trimming, landscape watering, and leaf pickup. Will the new homeowners’ associa�on for the proposed subdivision be taking over this responsibility or will the new homes become part of the Silverado Creek Maintenance District? • Sprinkler systems and drip-irriga�on systems on exis�ng homes in the Silverado Creek Subdivision were designed based on exis�ng water pressure in the supply lines to the subdivision. Are plans in place to
ensure that adding a large number of new homes to the neighborhood won’t adversely affect water pressure in the Silverado Creek Subdivision?
• At Planning Commission Mee�ng, the builder indicated that asphalt shingle and concrete �le roofs each have an es�mated life of approximately 20 years and that costs for each were the same. A review of roofing industry websites indicates that �le roofs have an es�mated life substan�ally longer than asphalt shingle roofs and that cost to install �le roofs is also much greater than the cost to install asphalt shingle roofs. Why did the builder misrepresent these facts at the Planning Commission Mee�ng? And why could the builder not specify the exact type of asphalt shingles he planned to use when ques�oned by the Planning Commission?
• Pads for houses in proposed subdivision will be built at approximately same eleva�on as the exis�ng houses along Blackberry Drive. What steps will be taken to ensure that the exis�ng retaining walls along Blackberry Drive houses will not be damaged during construc�on or in the future? • Grading and Drainage Plan for proposed subdivision indicates that overflow from the reten�on ponds at the South East and South West corners of the proposed subdivision will flow into the reten�on ponds in the exis�ng Silverado Creek Subdivision or be diverted into Silverado Creek, respec�vely. One or more houses in the Silverado Creek Subdivision are already in the flood plain; will this diversion of addi�onal water from the proposed subdivision result in addi�onal houses in the exis�ng subdivision being moved into the flood plain?
• Traffic Impact Study does not appear to include the addi�onal traffic that will appear on Villa Lane and Sierra Avenue once these two streets are connected. A substan�al amount of traffic already cuts through the South and South East por�on of the Silverado Creek Subdivision as a short-cut to subdivisions West of Silverado Creek Subdivision by avoiding the Trancas Street and Jefferson Street intersec�on. The traffic impact study for the proposed subdivision needs to include this addi�onal an�cipated short-cut traffic that will flow through the neighborhood once Villa Lane is no longer a dead end road.

Comments and Concerns Regarding Proposed Subdivision
Robert Gligorea, Blackberry Drive resident for 24 years
• Tenta�ve Subdivision Map and Design Review states that house plans descrip�on includes “back-on” and “side-on” fence treatment but doesn’t explain what this is. Numerous Google searches fail to find a descrip�on of what “back-on” or “side-on” fence treatment is. Need writen explana�on from builder to be able to provide appropriate comment.
• Will streets in new subdivision be wide enough to allow dual direc�on vehicle travel when vehicles are parked on both sides of the street? Streets in Silverado Creek Subdivision are not wide enough to permit this.
• Landscaping plan indicates that a majority of the exis�ng Sycamore trees on Villa Lane would be maintained except for 15 trees along the Southeast side of the project site that will be removed to allow an addi�onal street connec�on from Villa Lane to the internal streets as well as an addi�onal bioreten�on facility. There are currently only 29 Sycamore trees on the West side of Villa Lane. So it appears that a majority of the exis�ng trees will be cut down rather than be maintained. What is the requirement for these trees to be removed?
• The Landscaping plan indicates that the Sycamore trees to be cut down are along the Southeast side of the project site. However, a review of the detailed Landscaping Plan indicates that most of the trees to be cut down are along the Northeast side of the project? Which is it? • Dozens of people walk their dogs on the shaded sidewalk on the West side of Villa Lane each day. If the Sycamore trees are cut down, will addi�onal trees be planted to provide shade on this sidewalk or will there be no shade in the future on this sidewalk? Many of the people who walk their dogs on this sidewalk do not live within 500 feet of the proposed subdivision and will not have received any prior no�fica�on about this proposed subdivision nor the elimina�on of the shade on the sidewalk where they are currently walking their dogs.
• The Project Descrip�on Document indicates that the subdivision is designed with a rear yard landscape treatment along the East side of lots 24 to 32 adjacent to Villa Lane. The landscaping treatment will consist of a mixture of trees and small shrubs with a 6 foot tall fence. If the landscaping plan is to include trees, why are 15 mature Sycamore trees being removed? • The builder has not provided a plan to minimize dust during the building of the subdivision. Although comments were made during the planning commission that dust would only be a problem during the ini�al stages of construc�on when earth was being moved, that is not true for the soil types that are present on the construc�on site. During construc�on of the Silverado Creek Subdivision, there were 2 or more inches of loose soil on top of each lot and the evening winds caused a great deal of dust in our neighborhood.
• Will the houses in the new subdivision be added to the exis�ng Silverado Creek Maintenance District? This maintenance district is currently paying for the maintenance of the exis�ng landscaping along Villa Lane including tree trimming, landscape watering, and leaf pickup. Will the new homeowners’ associa�on for the proposed subdivision be taking over this responsibility or will the new homes become part of the Silverado Creek Maintenance District? • Sprinkler systems and drip-irriga�on systems on exis�ng homes in the Silverado Creek Subdivision were designed based on exis�ng water pressure in the supply lines to the subdivision. Are plans in place to
ensure that adding a large number of new homes to the neighborhood won’t adversely affect water pressure in the Silverado Creek Subdivision?
• At Planning Commission Mee�ng, the builder indicated that asphalt shingle and concrete �le roofs each have an es�mated life of approximately 20 years and that costs for each were the same. A review of roofing industry websites indicates that �le roofs have an es�mated life substan�ally longer than asphalt shingle roofs and that cost to install �le roofs is also much greater than the cost to install asphalt shingle roofs. Why did the builder misrepresent these facts at the Planning Commission Mee�ng? And why could the builder not specify the exact type of asphalt shingles he planned to use when ques�oned by the Planning Commission?
• Pads for houses in proposed subdivision will be built at approximately same eleva�on as the exis�ng houses along Blackberry Drive. What steps will be taken to ensure that the exis�ng retaining walls along Blackberry Drive houses will not be damaged during construc�on or in the future? • Grading and Drainage Plan for proposed subdivision indicates that overflow from the reten�on ponds at the South East and South West corners of the proposed subdivision will flow into the reten�on ponds in the exis�ng Silverado Creek Subdivision or be diverted into Silverado Creek, respec�vely. One or more houses in the Silverado Creek Subdivision are already in the flood plain; will this diversion of addi�onal water from the proposed subdivision result in addi�onal houses in the exis�ng subdivision being moved into the flood plain?
• Traffic Impact Study does not appear to include the addi�onal traffic that will appear on Villa Lane and Sierra Avenue once these two streets are connected. A substan�al amount of traffic already cuts through the South and South East por�on of the Silverado Creek Subdivision as a short-cut to subdivisions West of Silverado Creek Subdivision by avoiding the Trancas Street and Jefferson Street intersec�on. The traffic impact study for the proposed subdivision needs to include this addi�onal an�cipated short-cut traffic that will flow through the neighborhood once Villa Lane is no longer a dead end road.

City Council MembersNov,2023
I have some general concerns regarding the availability of information to the public and specific concerns with my area.
At one time, it was possible to look at and read the General Plan at our local library, the Planning Department or at City Hall. You could also check out materials on an upcoming development or the General Plan from the Planning Department to take home overnight. Hard copy materials are no longer made available to the general public unless they pay for them. Can the City reinstate this practice? My major (and personal), concern is of the water diverted to Salvador Creek. Once upon a time, there were three creeks in the area that joined the Napa River at Trancas Crossing. Pre-1985, Garfield Park property frequently flooded and there was a seasonal pond on the north side of Garfield Ln.
The neighborhood is aware that there are flood events that occur at the Garfield bridge of Salvador Creek. Soon after the Silverado Creek subdivision was completed the area flooded. The city is aware there are problems but it does not address the increase of depth, frequency, velocity, nor the severe erosion caused by the flood events.
Shouldn't the city address these issues?
When the EIR and other studies were done for the Big Ranch Road Specific Plan (BRRSP), I was concerned about the species of interest. Amongst the life forms I had seen, there had been small blue butterflies, bats, salmon and western pond turtles that were of special concern. I was told that the salmon were only lost, that the creek was
man-made so there would be no native salmon. I researched and found this to be inaccurate. The creek was man manipulated.
When the 2020 General Plan came into being, rather than making a new study or EIR for that property north and west of the specific plan area the city only extended the of BRRSP's coverage.
Recently, I became aware that the County Board of Supervisors had not disputed information passed on to FEMA. It was claimed that the Salvador Creek drained an area of 2.2 miles. At the time, I told the Board that this was not true.
Only recently, I had reason to contact FEMA. I believe they continue to use information that is not true. I was told that the information they receive comes from the City of Napa's Planning department. Can the Planning department verify what information they have sent on to FEMA?
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) which is managed by FEMA posted on their website that "...just one inch of floodwater can cause up to $25,000 in damage..."
I understand that the City has 2 more projects that will ultimately drain to Salvador Creek within the Planning Dept. How can any hydrology study or plan be accurate if the information the study is based on is wrong?
I am concerned with the connection of Sierra Ave to Villa Lane. The City held meetings open to the general public and certain slowing down measures were agreed upon.
Those measures are no longer a part of the new plan. The general public has not been made aware of this change. The walkability of the neighborhood will be lost. Will the city lower the speed limit thru the park property (as it is lowered thru park property on Garfield Ln)? The city had also agreed to make changes to the crossing at El Capitan Way. Is this still a part of the plan?
Sierra Ave is not wide enough to be considered a collector Street. From Lassen St east, to Jefferson, there are no sidewalks and people walk in the street. I believe it is most threatening after dark. I am concerned that it will only become more dangerous for those people who live on Sierra Ave, walk to the 7-11, and those children who attend the grammar school or families that attend church on Lassen St. at the very least, can the speed limit be lowered in this area?
Villa Lane is also dangerous. First of all, the directional signs painted on the streets have worn away and have been illegible for several years (I would take a can of white spray paint and fix it but I don't want to be arrested for the defacing of public property); can the City remedy this?
Trancas St to Blackberry can be treacherous. There are several elder seniors living who live and walk (using walkers) on Villa Ln. From 9 am to 5 pm (between Trancas St. and Firefly) cars are constantly entering and exiting doctor's or medical offices. They often fail to "look both ways" and just pull into the Lane. For safety's sake can the speed limit be lowered? Students walk to school walk to and from school along Villa Ln. Cars often speed to the north end of the lane.
If a death occurs on Villa Ln or Sierra Ave, will this connection be discontinued?
