Dear Mayor Dohring, Vice-Mayor Hall and City Council Members, I have known Sue Furdek for several years.

Dear Mayor and Council,
Of all the locals I’ve known in town for forty years, I can’t personally identify a stronger candidate for the PC than Sue Furdek.
She’s intelligent and most simpatico! We worked together on various community advocacy projects and I was always impressed how she engaged our groups with charm, insight and determination to make things happen.
If you want to get a full objective analysis of an issue, you call Sue. If you want to get a project done effectively, you call Sue. If you want to have planning commissioner who can make the most equitable judgment call between an individual rights vs the community rights, you appoint Sue.
She is a thoughtful community member with relationships that extend to non-profits, business owners and the wine industry. Everyone who knows her, grants her the utmost respect.
Thank you for your consideration,
Oliver Caldwell

Agenda Report to the City Council
Agenda Section: NEW BUSINESS
Department: Public Works
DATE: June 25, 2024
FROM: Eric Janzen, Assistant Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Consideration and adoption of a Resolution of the City Council of the City of St. Helena authorizing payment of $330,000 to Pacific Gas & Electric Company for services rendered related to the realignment of overhead power
lines associated with the Farmstead Development Project and authorize the City Manager to enter into a
supplemental agreement with Long Meadow Ranch for
reimbursement.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
Adopt the attached Resolution.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
October 13, 2020 - City Council adopted a resolution
approving the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative
Declaration (IS/MND) for the Long Meadow Ranch
Lodging project and ordinance accepting the LMR
Development Agreement for same.
STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:
Authorization to issue payment to PG&E in the amount of $330,000 for services rendered in support of the Long
Meadow Ranch Lodging project and for the City Manager
to enter into a supplemental agreement with Long Meadow Ranch (LMR/Farmstead) to reimburse these funds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of the resolution will result in the expenditure of $330,000 from the General Fund reserves to compensate
PG&E for engineering design and project management
associated with the Long Meadow Ranch Lodging project
also known as the "Farmstead Project". Staff is
recommending increasing budget appropriations in FY
2024-25 from the General Fund reserves in the amount of $330,000. The City will enter into a supplemental
agreement with LMR/Farmstead to reimburse these funds.
BACKGROUND:
The LMR Development Agreement includes provisions for offsite improvements to Mills Lane. Among these improvements is the realignment of 60kV overhead electrical utility lines owned by PG&E. The City agreed to share the cost of utility realignment and serve as the "applicant" for this phase of the project.
Agenda Item #13.3.
City Staff submitted an application to PG&E to realign the overhead utilities in 2021.
PG&E provided engineering and design work resulting in 100% plans for realigning the overhead 60kV utility and provide project management services. PG&E did not collect funds from either the City or LMR in advance to performing this work.
On March 22, 2024, City staff, Ted Hall and PG&E met to discuss the project and PG&E's expenses. Mr. Hall reported that he was still moving forward with the project, would have funding by June 30th and be able to issue the first payment for the PG&E work by July 31st with an "80% probability". PG&E agreed to issue an invoice for the expenses in anticipation of payment. Since the City is the "applicant" for this first phase of the project, the invoice would be sent to the City.
On May 17, 2024, the City received a preliminary notice that PG&E's expenditures up to this date was $330,000.00 and that PG&E sought payment for work completed.
DISCUSSION:
The City is the "applicant" for the purpose of realigning the 60kV overhead electrical utility lines (the "60kV project") and is responsible for compensating PG&E for engineering and project management work completed up to now. LMR is responsible for part of this cost in accordance with the Development Agreement with the City. The agreement requires LMR to pay all costs as they are incurred and be refunded a percentage of these costs from TOT (transient occupancy tax) revenue after the hotel opens.
Due to delays in the project, LMR has not issued any progress payments to the City.
The City proceeded in good faith to advance the realignment of the "60kV project" which is a critical first step for the remainder of the Farmstead Project.
Design work on the "60kV Project" was completed in 2022 and PG&E was ready to proceed with construction as early as Spring 2023. PG&E submitted a cost estimate for design and construction in December 2022. This estimate was provided to Mr. Hall who, at that time, indicated that he would need additional time to fund this phase of the project. Without payment, PG&E was not able to schedule work to begin.
City staff and PG&E agreed to "pause" on the project up to the end of 2023. On March 22, 2024, Ted Hall had not yet secured funding for this first phase of the project and requested an additional delay to July 31, 2024. PG&E was willing to grant this extension if payment for their work performed was received and agreed to provide an invoice to the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
On October 13, 2020, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the "Farmstead Project".

RE: Mills Lane Realignment Project, Saint Helena, Napa County Dear Mr. Janzen:
This letter is to memorialize the status of the Mills Lane realignment project in Saint Helena. The letter also an Engineering Advance (EA) Invoice (enclosed), for the amount of $330,000.00. That speci?ed amount will reimburse PG&E for the work on the project already completed by PG&E, including (but not limited to) electric transmission design, land rights review, project management and environmental issues. The letter also reiterates that the project has been put on “pause” by PG&E and the company will not continue with any further work until the entire EA amount is paid.
Once the money has been paid, if you wish to move forward with the relocation project, the developer will be required to enter into an agreement with PG&E, including paying PG&E the total estimated cost (including ITCC), less the advance deposit, prior to the actual relocation of PG&E’s electric transmission facilities. The new agreement will also need to include estimated costs of PG&E’s remaining work and an Income Tax Component of Contributions (lTCC), which is currently 24% of the project costs.
To pay the EA invoice amount, please remove the top portion of the invoice and attach it to a check in the amount of $330,000.00 and mail to:
