It is Hispanic Heritage Month. Why exactly is it that absolutely nothing is being done to make our neighborhood safer and cleaner for the many very good Hispanic families that are living all around us?

Hi Samantha. If 2 are allowed from me for tomorrow's meeting, here is #2. I was just mowing our front lawn when the contracted street sweeper came by blowing dust, dirt, and diesel emissions all over our neighborhood. Where are our Climate Action Now activists when we need them the most?

Dear Tiffany Carranza, CIty Clerk,
I am Maddie Chiu, writing on behalf of Napa Schools for Climate Action. We recently had meetings with Councilmember Beth Painter and Deborah Elliott to discuss Rep. Mike Thompson's H.Con.Res.46
, introduced in the 119th Congress. We would like to give you a heads up that we plan to attend your 3:30pm City Council meeting on September 15 to ask that you place a resolution endorsing H.Con.Res.46 on a future agenda.
Please pass this along to the councilmembers.
Sincerely,
Maddie Chiu

Dear City Council and Flood Control District Board Ad Hoc Committee:
I’m writing to you on behalf of a growing coalition of Napa residents and stakeholders who seek to build on the incredible success the city and county have achieved in the last several years. In particular, the downtown is revitalized, the Oxbow is thriving, and areas of the city and county are protected from catastrophic flooding. Flood control has permitted Napa to thrive by creating open, green spaces with a fabulous riverfront trail, and at the same time it incentivized stunning economic development. With this great success under our belt, our coalition is asking for collaboration between public and private stakeholders in Napa to work together on Increment 3 of the Napa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District’s Flood Management Plan.
We have an historic, once in a lifetime opportunity to get flood control right and to create a “welcome mat” to Napa, that stretches from the Bay to the northern reaches of the valley.
We are excited to see what the RiverLine Board can achieve for the core area of Napa. And we are enthusiastic about collaboration with stakeholders for the “last mile” of the RiverLine from the existing promenade, down River Road to Imola. We strongly believe that the Increment 3 of the flood control project can be done in a manner that is a boon to recreational and waterfront enjoyment as well as to economic development, in addition to achieving the necessary flood control.
We are therefore asking for city and county elected officials to:
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. Modify or reject the Army Corp of Engineer’s 25-year- old flood control plan for Increment 3 and seek alternative, more technologically and esthetically advanced options. The plan, as drafted, represents a blight to the community.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Form an Economic Development District (EDD) to create incentives for new housing, mixed use and other commercial development.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->Earmark funds in the 2027 and 2028 budgets to create a Master Plan for the Phase 3 and the new EDD. <!--[if !supportLists]-->4. Bring energy and leadership to the project by directing staff and support teams to work in the most collaborative manner possible to further transform Napa for the benefit of all.
We have an historic and compelling opportunity to get Flood Control right:
Create more parks, bring the treasured Napa River to the people, and incentivize economic development at the very entryway to the City of Napa.
Thank you for your interest in a public/private collaboration to benefit the entire Valley from tip to toe.
Best Regards,
Tempe Reichardt
