Hi Mary!
I do not live in the City, rather I live in the County, so I am not able to vote for City Council etc. But I want to give you my thoughts regarding appointment of Rick Robben for the remainder of Liz Alessio’s term.
I know Rick to be a community-centered man, his work and family and life has always been centered around a love for Napa.
His resume is outstanding. His work ethic and passion are rare. He is generous and charitable, and he walks the walk (does not just write the checks). He has helped build, and rebuild peoples homes who have suffered tragedy.
He’s very entrepreneurial, and innovative, with a head for new solutions. His several businesses have all been born of a need that was not served well.
His compassion is really beautiful-- for seniors, those with illness, kids, and single parents. He has survived cancer himself, and knows how hard it is to raise a family and make a living in the Bay Area.
Sports, and faith, and patriotism are all part of who he is, and he is joyous about it and inclusive, non-judgemental. The only thing he will not tolerate is bigotry.
He knows what it is to make jobs, a payroll, and compete. His skills are valuable for any organization, superb for the City. With a legal background and law enforcement and construction/permitting expertise, and school sports, he has functioned within all areas of local government.
His wife Tami really is a partner in everything Rick does, as are his grown kids, and grandkids. They are a local family and they keep so many friends for many decades. Truly Napa core people, dedicated and grateful for this place we call home.
I hope you know him well, and have the opportunity to support his application for City Council.
Thank YOU and Jason for all you do as a dedicated family to make a difference here in Napa! Respectfully,
Linda Fischer

Dear Mayor and City Councilmembers,
In reviewing the applications for the District 1 City Council seat, I was very impressed--and gratified--that so many residents from very different backgrounds are passionate about serving our community. I know whoever you select will be a strong addition to the Council.
I'm writing to support Will Marcencia's application. I'm not a District 1 resident, but I believe he will provide the Council with something that none of the other candidates can: the ability to get the word out about what's happening in City government. This is absolutely crucial in order to get residents involved and to make people feel heard. In addition, he's bilingual and well-connected to our Hispanic community and to small businesses.
The other advantage Will has, which was apparent in his application, is his familiarity with the current state of the City of Napa, its current operations, and the issues before the Council. I believe his learning curve will be much shorter than for the other candidates.
For these reasons, I ask you to appoint Will Marcencia to the District 1 City Council seat.
Thank you for your consideration,
Chris Benz

He is committed to the well-being of all residents and has used his platform to ensure that critical information reaches the community in multiple languages.

Dear Mary,
As a resident of District 1, I am writing to strongly support the appointment of Will Marcencia to the seat vacated by Liz Alessio. Will has made a huge difference to our community and will be an excellent member of Napa City Council.
I first met Will in Leadership Napa Valley’s Class 32 where we were in the same practicum group. Our project was to produce “Senior Moments”, a weekly radio broadcast to provide information to Napa seniors about services in the community and issues important to the senior population. Will was a huge part of that project, and his leadership was outstanding. Will made sure that the project would be sustainable, working with Molly’s Angels to take over the programming when our LNV year ended.
As you know, Will continues to be a leader in our community, currently serving as President of the Providence Community Health Foundation (formerly Collabria Care). He is an active member of Napa Sunrise Rotary, where we regularly see his leadership skills at work. Will has been on the Boards of the Napa Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art, and Friends of the Napa County Animal Shelter, so he knows how to collaborate on a multi- member panel.
I am pleased there are so many strong candidates among my neighbors to fill this vacancy, but Will Marencia stands out from among the crowd. I encourage you to vote for him to join you on Napa City Council.
Bob

I’m writing to express my strong support for Will Marcencia as the appointed official for District 1 on the Napa City Council. As a dedicated member of our community, Will Marcencia has consistently shown strong community commitment and vision.
As you may be aware, he is currently the Board President of Providence Community Health Foundation Napa Valley (formerly Collabria Care), Board Member of the Napa Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and member of Napa Sunrise Rotary. He has also served on the boards for di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art and Friends of Napa County Animal Shelter. Marcencia is a recipient of the North Bay Business Journal’s "Latino Business Leadership Award" as well as "Small Business of the Year" by Senator Bill Dodd. He also participated in Leadership Napa Valley.
I believe Will Marcencia is ready to work collaboratively with the rest of City Council to address key Council priorities such as traffic safety, homelessness, and public infrastructure.
Please consider this note as a show of support for Will Marcencia. Your consideration is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Joseph Wagner

Dear Napa City Council Members,
I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for Christopher DeNatale's appointment to the Napa City Council. I have had the privilege of knowing Chris for eight years through our work in the nonprofit sector and I am confident in his ability to serve our community with dedication, integrity, and vision.
Chris brings a wealth of experience and skills that make him an exceptional candidate for this position. His extensive service in the non-profit sector, along with his involvement in various city and county committees and commissions over the years, provides him with a unique and in-depth perspective on the issues at hand.
What sets Chris apart is his natural ability to listen actively and collaborate effectively.
He value’s diverse perspectives and works tirelessly to build consensus, even in challenging situations. His approach to problem-solving is thoughtful, innovative, and grounded in a genuine desire to serve the public good.
I am confident that Chris will bring a fresh perspective and an important voice to the City Council. His leadership will undoubtedly contribute to shaping policies that reflect the values and aspirations of our community.
I urge you to consider Chris for this important role. His appointment would be a tremendous asset to our city, and I have no doubt he will serve with distinction.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

Dear Napa City Council Member,

As you may be aware, he is currently the Board President of Providence Community Health Foundation Napa Valley (formerly Collabria Care), Board Member of the Napa Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and member of Napa Sunrise Rotary. He has also served on the boards for di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art and Friends of Napa County Animal Shelter. Marcencia is a recipient of the North Bay Business Journal’s "Latino Business Leadership Award" as well as "Small Business of the Year" by Senator Bill Dodd. He is also a graduate of Class 32 of Leadership Napa Valley.
While these accomplishments are important and represent a significant public engagement, there is a side to Will Marcencia that is not often seen. I believe Will to be an advocate for services that benefit from and promote senior causes and awareness of issues affecting this vital growing community. Will was one of the founding members of a bi monthly radio program titled “Senior Moments”. This program, now in its sixth year, is a platform for sharing issues and programing affecting seniors.
I believe Will Marcencia is ready to work collaboratively with the City Council to address key priorities such as transportation access, traffic safety, homelessness, and public infrastructure. At Molly’s Angels we applaud Will’s commitment to bringing senior issues to the forefront. We believe Mr. Marcencia supports bringing diverse voices together for a common good.
Please consider this note as a show of support for Will Marcencia. Your consideration is greatly appreciated.

Dear Napa City Council Member,
As a resident of District 1 and colleague of Will Marcencia, I’m writing to express my strong support for Will as the appointed official for District 1 on the Napa City Council. As a dedicated member of our community, Will Marcencia has consistently shown strong community commitment and vision.
I met Will shortly after he moved here from LA and I have always admired his drive to grow and learn. He is a risk taker, something I'm not, and I believe we need more of that in our community. He took a chance moving here to run a radio station when others said radio was dead. He served on my board of Friends of Napa County Animal Shelter where we worked together on Hispanic community outreach. More importantly, over the years Will has become family.
Will is extremely dedicated when it comes to things he's passionate about and I believe his energy and drive will be very helpful in pushing community priorities such as traffic safety, homelessness, and public infrastructure.
Please consider this note as a show of support for Will Marcencia. Your consideration is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Miryam Chae

Dear Napa City Council Members,
That I am not the only one respectfully requesting you appoint Will Marcencia to represent District 1 on the Napa City Council speaks volumes. I am not surprised he has a significant number of supporters. But more importantly, each of you are already well aware of his community involvement and impact. Your vetting of Will has essentially been ongoing the past 8+ years he and Julissa arrived in Napa. Will wasted no time making contributions of his talents to our community.
Having represented the Marcencia’s in their Napa real estate acquisition, I witnessed up close and personal how he handled several unforeseen challenges that arose during and after that process. Always the consummate professional; the perfect balance of passion and pragmatism. From our very first meeting, as they were vetting me, they discussed their strong desire to contribute to and become deeply immersed in their new community.
I will defer to Will’s other supporter to list the board positions and numerous accolades earned. The key is, you truly already know Will. That means you can trust Will to be diligent in his assessment of the issues, and to always exercise integrity in decision making, and to always choose for the community’s highest good.
Thank you for your time and consideration of my request.
Sincerely,
Lee W Miller
