However, an 8 year sunset does not increase
support for the measure.

Suppose that instead of being in effect until ended by voters, Measure B, the real property transfer tax lasted for eight years. In that case, would you vote yes in favor of it, or no to oppose this measure? Page 1214 of 1407 Agenda Item #12.2. 22 Ext./Very

30 Q11. I am going to read you some statements made by supporters of these ballot measures. Please tell me whether you find it very convincing, somewhat convincing, or not convincing as a reason to support the measures.

Ranked by Very Convincing
(SIDEWALKS) St. Helena’s downtown sidewalks are in disrepair. This makes it difficult and unsafe for pedestrians, bikers, and those with disabilities to get around. And as a city that depends on the tourist economy, our crumbling sidewalks hurt our economy. (ACCOUNTABILITY/LOCAL CONTROL) These measures include strict accountability provisions, such as public spending reports. This funding cannot be taken by state government or other bureaucrats, and all funds must be used only in St. Helena. (DISABILITY) Cracked sidewalks and a lack of accessible curbs make it very hard for elderly people and people living with disabilities to get around independently. By updating sidewalks, these measures will help make our community more inclusive and accessible for everyone. (STREET CONDITIONS) St. Helena’s street conditions are among the worst in the Bay Area, are in disrepair, and in need of maintenance and repaving. These measures will ensure that residents have safe streets to drive on.
(DEFERRED MAINTENANCE) The longer St. Helena’s roads, bridges, and sidewalks go without repair, the more expensive it will be to fix them. These measures will prevent expensive deferred maintenance, make St. Helena roads safer and, save money in the long-run. (FIRE) It’s become all too common to see entire towns destroyed by wildfire in California — making roads and bridges a lifeline. That’s why it’s essential to prepare before it’s too late:
these measures will ensure that fire evacuation routes throughout St. Helena are in good repair, with plenty of room for emergency vehicles.

31 Q11. I am going to read you some statements made by supporters of these ballot measures. Please tell me whether you find it very convincing, somewhat convincing, or not convincing as a reason to support the measures.

Ranked by Very Convincing
(COST) Only those who are buying or selling property will incur the one-time real estate transfer fee. These measures will improve critical City services and stabilize the City’s finances without a cost to the average St. Helena resident.
(VISITORS) Napa Valley visitors are a key driver of the St. Helena economy. These measures will allow the City to improve sidewalks, roads, and infrastructure so that St. Helena continues to attract visitor dollars.
(PUBLIC SAFETY) St. Helena residents feel safe and protected in their town due to the highly responsive and skilled fire services and police protection. These measures will allow our fire and police departments to respond quickly in emergencies by maintaining roads and improving evacuation routes.
(PROPERTY VALUES) St. Helena is a great place to live and the community’s property values reflect the City’s outstanding quality of life. These measures will maintain the City’s infrastructure and prevent cuts to services, ensuring that St. Helena remains a highly desirable community, with all the benefits that it has for local residents. (SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL) Unfortunately, many intersections near our local schools are dangerous. These measures will build new sidewalks and bike lanes, and improve crosswalks and lighting near schools to ensure that students can safely walk or bike to their local schools. (CUTS) The City of St. Helena has already taken measures to cut expenses and increase efficiencies. There is no more room to cut expenses without significantly impacting city services. This measure will allow the City to continue providing the services the community needs and wants.

Agenda Item #12.2.
34 Conclusions
• A majority of voters support both the proposed charter city and RPTT measures initially.
 However, voters offer more widespread and intense support for the RPTT at the 1.5% rate.
 Support for the RPTT is consistent throughout the survey, while support for the charter measure narrows as voters learn more about it.
• Voters place the greatest priority on ensuring all funds stay local, maintaining emergency response times, providing safe evacuation routes, and repaving streets.
• Positive messages focused on sidewalks, accountability, and ADA accessibility are seen as most convincing.
• Critical statements are less convincing overall but affect views of the charter measure, in particular.
• Overall, the findings suggest a path forward on the November ballot for both measures, although public education and refining the charter measure ballot language to reference the projects the RPTT could fund, will be necessary.

Subject: [External] Transfer Tax / City Charter change Meeting May 14 Date: Thursday, May 9, 2024 8:40:47 PM
With all due respect, the above referenced agenda items would be better suited as a stand alone meeting as they will affect all residents. It appears they are being crammed into a very full agenda. Also not placed together on the agenda as one must be passed to enable the application of the other item. Possibly that is the intent to discourage attendees and objectives?
Thank You

St Helena City Council, City Manager, and staff…..

I would very much like to attend the upcoming CC Meeting, but am unable for medical reasons.

I have had an opportunity to speak with most of you council members, concerning the issue of becoming a Charter City, in order to assess a Transfer Property Tax on residents who sell their homes within the City limits. I appreciated very much the opportunity to have done so.

I am in my declining years, and am faced with multiple, (not pleasant), decisions as to where, and how, I will fund whatever years I have left. A possible Property Transfer Tax ‘scares me spit-less’.

Our family bought here in 1971, when St Helena was not the “in place” to be.

Both my husband and I were public servants…..just hard working middle class folks raising a family, volunteering in the community, and putting back as best we could.

Widowed before the age of 50, threw our family into a financial tailspin.

I now find myself a disabled senior, living on a VERY LIMITED income.

Now, when I need income the most.

The equity built up in my home has always brought me comfort, knowing it is money I can use for my nursing home care, (not having enough monthly income to do so).

Do I want to sell my home? Absolutely not. If I sell to afford in home nursing, I don’t have a home to live in. So, my other alternative is, being forced to sell, to pay for full time care in a facility.

Capital Gains will eat up a HUGE amount of that “home savings” I’ve counted on.

Add to that County and State transfer fees, and the fact that I only receive the single person exemption……I fear there will not be enough to keep me without becoming a burden to my family, or “the system”.

Looking at the rates other cities charge for Property Transfer Taxes, whether those cities are chartered or not, it seems that the %’s being proposed by Staff, are rare…..usually imposed in much larger cities…..and among the highest.

Some jurisdictions that charge real estate transfer taxes may lower or waive them for certain individuals such as seniors, the disabled, low-income households and first time homebuyers. Also, certain types of transactions, such as a sale from a parent to a child, transfer from one spouse to the other in a divorce, or a transfer under a will, may also be exempt from real estate transfer taxes.

Are any of these issues being considered?
Agenda Item #12.2.

Property transfer taxes, like all transfer taxes, are an ad valorem charge, meaning that the tax can be calculated from the assessed value of the property, or from the sale price. Buyers and sellers may also encounter flat real estate transfer taxes.

Again, has any of this been looked into by Council, or discussed publicly? Reading about the Baker Tilly survey in this week’s SH Star, adds another level of concern.
403 residents polled, (of which I know none), and 59% in favor? That is 4.3% of the total population in town, and you’re willing to move forward? This Transfer Tax compromises my Prop 13 protection, unless the tax were based on ASSESSED VALUE rather than SALES VALUE.

It disproportionately impacts low income families, seniors, and the disabled.

Isn’t it time for some town hall/public forums, where this can be discussed? Get more public input. SHARE more than a preprepared power point presentation. Ask for feedback. LISTEN to how such a high tax could impact those who have the least, and whose needs are the greatest.

Thank you for allowing me to express my concerns.

City staff and the Council working group closely evaluated each application and made funding recommendations for applications that closely aligned with Council goals and their commitment to advancing justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion to the City. The decisions were extremely difficult and were based on both the City’s continued financial constraints while balancing and ensuring the needs of the community are met to the extent possible.

To: Crysta Tim, Program Manager, Arts Council Napa Valley Re: Napa Valley College Viva Mariachi Festival Grant Application Dear Ms. Tim,
Since the inception of the Napa Valley College Viva Mariachi Festival 3 years ago, the Napa County Hispanic Network has wholeheartedly and enthusiastically offered its financial and participatory support. As a board we strongly believe and endorse the college’s mission to introduce acclaimed youth mariachi ensembles to the Napa Valley with the anticipation that one day soon, Napa Valley will have its own competitive mariachi ensemble.

Now more than ever, the cultural and academic emphasis these festivals model is what our Napa Valley needs for our local youth and college students. Each year’s festival has been better than before and always well attended, including by the board members of the Napa County Hispanic Network, because we also support students in their cultural and educational journeys.

We submit this statement with enthusiastic support of the Mariachi Festival and their efforts to continue offering and developing this exceptional display of youthful talent. We ask that you put the Viva Mariachi Festival at the top of your list for financial support from the Arts Council Napa Valley.

Thank you

Re Viva Mariachi Festival at Napa Valley College
Dear Ms. Tim,
As the Mayor of the City of St. Helena, I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically support the funding request of Viva Mariachi Festival at Napa Valley College. Our city has benefited from three previous youth mariachi concerts, which were provided free of charge to our residents.

Our community has enthusiastically embraced these wonderful performances, and this signifies a bright and promising future for youth mariachi up valley. I am pleased to endorse all efforts to introduce acclaimed youth mariachi ensembles to our community, with the anticipation that one day soon we will have our own competitive mariachi ensemble.

I have had the immense pleasure of enjoying mariachi’s rich rhythmic melodies in my travels to Mexico and of course throughout California. I must say, however, that I receive the most joy and excitement when I can experience the magic of young students wearing their glamorous mariachi suits and wide-brimmed hats and performing mariachi in concert. The “twinkle in the eye” of a young male soloist removing his sombrero and wowing his audience with charisma and charm or that oh-so-brief smile of a statuesque young woman standing with grace at the front of the stage and belting out a powerful, beautiful song reveal an inner confidence, deep pride and pure joy that is not often seen at this young age.

Young students willing to invest so much of their time in the art of mariachi are developing a profound sense of responsibility, teamwork, discipline and time management, invaluable skills for all of us. And those willing to take the stage to sing or perform an instrumental solo are also learning how to tackle life’s many challenges with dignity and grace.

How wonderful it would be to one day have our own mariachi youth ensemble right here in the Upper Napa Valley. And to have local schools offering mariachi classes as part of their curriculum to help expand multicultural education and allow our Latino students to have the Agenda Item #13.1.

opportunity to take pride in their rich Mexican traditions and heritage. Learning and performing mariachi music would allow these students to not only discover themselves as representatives of this valued culture, but also to demonstrate a deep pride in that culture.

Ultimately, having these mariachi programs locally will enrich the lives of our students and our communities. Students who would not otherwise participate in fine arts programs will be able to develop and refine their talents, create a sense of belonging with their peers and find deep connections to their cultural roots.

Communities will also continue to benefit from having these concerts throughout the year. I enjoy seeing our elders in the audience sing along with pride and fond memories, but we can all listen to and enjoy this great music during various celebrations and major holidays. We can all enhance and influence our multiculturalism, as we embrace a learning experience that links us to rich cultural traditions.

The cultural and academic emphasis these festivals model is what our Napa Valley needs for our local youth and college students, and the City of St. Helena is very honored to submit this letter on behalf of the Mariachi Festival and its efforts to develop and offer this exceptional display of youth talent. We ask that you seriously consider the Viva Mariachi Festival for financial support from your Arts Council Napa Valley.

Thank you for your consideration and for your continuing service to our community.

Sincerely,
Paul Jamison Dohring

Partnership Letter in Support of the St. Helena Mural Project Dear City Council:

The St. Helena Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to write this letter in enthusiastic support of the St. Helena Beautification Foundation's City of St. Helena grant application for our St.

Helena Mural Project. This project aligns perfectly with our shared vision of enhancing the vibrancy and attractiveness of our community, and we believe it holds immense potential to benefit both residents and visitors.

As a leading advocate for local businesses, the Chamber recognizes the significant role public art plays in attracting visitors, stimulating economic activity, and fostering community pride. Art can bring a community together in many ways. The proposed mural, located on the prominent exterior wall of Wydown Hotel, will serve as an iconic representation of St.

Helena in our historic shopping district, capturing the essence of St. Helena's rich history and diversity.

The St. Helena Chamber of Commerce has been working with the St. Helena Beautification Foundation for nearly a year to ensure the success of this project. In addition, we seek to install in total three art projects over the next five years, as part of the Chamber Creates program. This first project has taken the longest during the conceptual phase because we recognize its importance in setting the stage and standards for art murals and other public art in our community. Part of the reason why the committee decided to increase the budget in order to secure a more experienced artist. The grant money requested will help us document the process, close the gap in supply costs, and ensure proper celebration with our community and the City of St. Helena. The mural itself is fully funded by the Chamber and Beautification Foundation, but we’re seeking additional funds to expand the existing project and pay for supplies, and a few other areas of importance to make this a true masterpiece for the City of St. Helena and the community.

It will be important for us to have an online presence celebrating St. Helena’s public art, and also a place where residents and visitors can learn about the art. Ideally one day directing folks to multiple pieces of artwork throughout our community, from sculptures in parks, to murals downtown, and beyond.

We firmly believe that the St. Helena Mural Project is a worthy investment in the future of our community. We urge the City of St. Helena to grant the Beautification Foundation's request and support this transformative initiative.

Sincerely,
Amy Carabba-Salazar
President, St. Helena Chamber of Commerce

The City of St. Helena
January 26, 2024
Dear Hugues Aubert,
We at the City of St. Helena in Napa County, California are excited that Reforest'Action has an interest in supporting urban and community forestry in our region, and we submit to you this request for the Napa Valley Community Forest. Our community forest of 2,500 trees currently comprises 15 acres. We are interested in expanding the size and diversity of this community forest and providing more community education opportunities for our residents and visitors.

But… why? It all started with Paul and Marilyn Asmuth, their love for redwoods, and an idea for a community forest at a wastewater treatment plant property owned by the City of St. Helena. In 2011, the Asmuth family worked with the City to plant 500 redwood trees as a trial run to see whether the idea of using effluent water from the wastewater treatment plant to irrigate trees would work. It did, and today those trees are 40 feet tall! Then in 2021, Paul asked Napa County Resource Conservation District (Napa RCD) and Sustainable St. Helena (SSH) to support recruitment and engagement of volunteers, school groups, and work crews out to plant more trees.

What’s been done so far? As stated above, to date, 2,500 trees have been planted over 15 acres. These trees include coast redwoods, dawn redwoods, and valley and coast live oak trees. They are irrigated with effluent water, and the understory is mowed and weeded for tree health. In addition to tree planting and maintenance, our community forest is frequently used by Napa RCD as a fieldtrip site, where students are educated on forest health concepts and given hands on experience planting and caring for trees.

What’s the long-term plan? Eventually, the hope is that this site will be made accessible to the public and will be connected to existing walking and biking trails. As the trees grow and continue to re-establish healthy ecosystems in place of a fallowed field, the site will become a shady respite in the valley, with a native plant buffer along the Napa River. The vision is for this plot of land to become a true resource for the community that will be used not just for peaceful recreation open to all, but also to showcase healthy native ecosystems, act as a living classroom for local students, and help us move forward in a world with a fast-changing climate.

Agenda Item #13.1.

What do we need help with right now? The City was approached by Napa RCD and SSH to continue expansion of our community forest by an additional 20 acres. This increase would add approximately 4,000 redwoods, oaks, and other native tree/shrub species.

Our hope is for the City to work with residents and non-profit organizations to generate more benefits for the community, including recreation trails, environmental benefits from replacing mowed fields with forest ecosystems, aesthetic beauty for meditation and inspiration, carbon sequestration, and the incredible cooling effects from increased tree canopy.

There is a lot of work required for the proposed expansion. However, based on the success of our existing community forest, the commitment of the groups involved and their combined experiences, we are confident that this next expansion our phase of community forest will be a success for St. Helena and the Napa Valley.

Sincerely,
Paul Jamison Dohring
Mayor

The present project will support the expansion and ongoing maintenance of the Napa Valley Community Forest and facilitate community education that will inspire and empower community members to connect with and care for Napa County’s urban and community forests. This one-year proposal involves the following:
• Expanding the community forest by 20 acres, more than doubling the size of the forest. The 20-acre expansion of the community forest will include planting approximately 4,000 redwoods, oaks, and other native tree/shrub species. The forest expansion will be guided by a site-specific planting plan which will determine the exact number, size, and type of trees to be planted and consider site-specific constraints, suitability for future disturbances (e.g., drought, extreme heat, flooding, fire), and maintenance needs. The planting plan will include a maintenance and monitoring protocol. Prior to planting, we will do site preparation including removal of existing non-native vegetation, amending the soil, laying irrigation, and implementing erosion control best practices. Lastly, the plants will be installed according to the planting plan with wiring and/or caging. Napa RCD staff will support the plan development, management of crews doing the site preparation and plan installation, and mapping and monitoring of the new plantings.

• Caring for existing and new plantings, supporting the overall health and vigor of the community forest. We will conduct maintenance and monitoring of the 35-acre community forest to maximize survival rates and support the long-term health and vigor of the plantings. This will include maintenance and monitoring for the 20 acres of new plantings (approximately 4,000 trees) as well as the 15 acres of existing plantings (approximately 2,500 trees). Maintenance activities include weeding, pruning, mulching, irrigation repairs, and caging repairs. Monitoring includes assessing survival rates and evaluating the overall health and vigor of plantings. We will maintain up-toAgenda Item #13.1.

Helping the people of Napa County care for the land, soil, water, and wildlife that we all share. date maps of the project site, and track the number of trees planted/maintained as well as number of acres implemented.
• Increasing community members’ knowledge of forest health and practical stewardship actions, fostering local stewardship. We will educate and engage community members in three ways: (1) providing all-ages educational programming, (2) providing immersive environmental education to local elementary and high school students, and (3) creating an educational installation at the project site. First, we will plan and implement two allages community educational events at the Community Forest, including one educational workshop that equips community members with practical knowledge forest health concepts and one community stewardship event that supports “learning by doing” and develops a sense of personal agency among community members.

Second, we will host four field trips at the community forest for local elementary and high school students. This will facilitate much needed access to nature-based learning, creating meaningful opportunities for students form a variety of backgrounds (e.g., geographic, household income, race/ethnicity, physical and learning abilities, etc.) to develop and deepen their relationship with nature and participate in forest stewardship. Third, we will develop an educational installation (e.g., interpretive sign) at the project site, informing and educating community members for years to come about the value of forest stewardship and to highlight the activities supported through this project. The educational installation will feature a donor acknowledgement, with permission from the donor.

In thanks for their gracious support of this project, the donor will have access to visiting the property, opportunities to participate in community engagement events, a highlight on the educational installation, and acknowledgement in any print or digital materials related to the project. The donor will also become a part of Napa RCD’s donor recognition program.

Napa County Resource Conservation District (Napa RCD) is an agency that facilitates natural resource conservation through community involvement, education, technical expertise, and scientific research in Napa County, California and the broader region. Since its founding in 1945, Napa RCD has been committed to using voluntary, cooperative, and scientifically sound methods to ensure that natural resources are conserved, protected, and restored in a landscape that supports agriculture, urban areas, and wild spaces. Today, Napa RCD helps our community achieve conservation goals by focusing on issues ranging from forest health to fisheries, soil management, water conservation and quality, and more. This is done with a team of thirteen conservation scientists and outreach and administrative professionals. Napa RCD’s success depends on building effective collaborations with partners ranging from landowners to non-profit organizations, businesses, and local, state, and federal agencies. Most of Napa RCD’s programming is supported by grants, contracts, and donations, as only about 10% of its operating budget comes from local property taxes. Napa RCD ensures a high level of accountability by conducting annual financial audits, publicly posting budgets and financial reports, inviting the public to participate in all Board meetings, and informing the public about recent developments through an electronic newsletter, website, and social media.
