PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:
Consideration of a resolution to set a public hearing to consider objections to the proposed annexation into the St.
Helena Municipal Sewer District No. 1.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BACKGROUND:
Any property that wishes to connect and utilize the sanitary sewer system in the City of St. Helena must be annexed into the Municipal Sewer District No. 1. All applications for annexations shall be approved by the City Council pursuant to the requirements of state law (SHMC § 13.20.040). State law details the requirements for special district annexations in Health and Safety Code Section 4600. City Council approval of the annexation is the formal administrative process to change the property's tax rate area code from septic to sanitary sewer.
The process for a property to be annexed requires that a resolution be adopted ordering a public hearing by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the members of the City Council (HSC § 4643). The resolution is required to contain the following information and finding:
(a) Describe the boundaries of the territory proposed to be annexed. (b) Designate the proposed annexation by an appropriate number. (c) Declare that the area to be annexed to the district will be benefited by such annexation.
Agenda Item #10.1.
(d) Name the time and place for the hearing of objections by any person interested in the proposed annexation, to the inclusion in the district of any land described in the resolution.
Once adopted, the resolution, together with the names of the members of the City Council voting for and against it, must be published for two successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation and published in the City. The first publication shall not be more than 60 days nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the hearing.
Additionally, copies of the resolution shall also be posted in three public places within the area to be annexed not earlier than the 60th day nor later than the 30th day prior to the hearing. Similarly, a copy of the resolution shall also be mailed, postage prepaid, to each person to whom land in the area to be annexed is assessed as such owner is shown on the last equalized county assessment roll, at the address as shown upon the roll, and to each person who has any interest in any land within the area to be annexed whose name and address and a designation of the land in which they are interested is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
At the time established for the public hearing, the City Council will hear and consider any objections to the annexation and exclude any territory which in the Council's opinion will not be benefited by the annexation. After making changes to the boundaries of the area to be annexed, if any, the City Council may then adopt a resolution approving the annexation of the property into the District, which will also require at least four affirmative votes. Upon a determination by the Council that the property will be benefited by the annexation, certified copies of the resolution will then be recorded and filed in the manner and with the same force and effect as provided in Section 4613.
Upon recordation of the resolution, the property annexed becomes a part of the District and is subject to all the liabilities and entitled to all the benefits of the District. If the City Council approves the resolution following the public hearing on August 12, 2025, City staff will then process the annexation with Napa County and the State Board of Equalization to change the tax rate area code for the property. Staff will work with the applicant to collect outstanding fees and obtain required encroachment and building permits.
DISCUSSION:
The City of St. Helena Public Works has received an annexation application from the following party:
John Toogood, owner of 945 Main Street, St. Helena, CA (APN 009-263-007), has applied to be annexed into the St. Helena Municipal Sewer District No. 1, MSD Annexation No. 152.

Agenda Report to the City Council
Agenda Section: CONSENT ITEMS
Department: Public Works
DATE: June 10, 2025
FROM: Lesley Milton, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a resolution authorizing execution of a Construction Agreement with MG Masonry Inc., a fully
licensed contractor, for the construction of a waste,
recycling, and composting enclosure at Crane Park, in an amount not to exceed $41,640.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
Approval for resolution authorizing a Construction Services Agreement with MG Masonry Inc. for Construction of a
Waste, Recycling, and Composting Enclosure at Crane
Park.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
June 11, 2024 City Council authorized acceptance
of the grant from Upper Valley Waste Management
for $125,000
June 11, 2024 City Council authorized $103,185
spending on garbage, recycling and composting
containers.
STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:
To approve an agreement with MG Masonry Inc. to
construct a waste, recycling and compost enclosure at
Crane Park.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total financial impact is $41,640, of which $21,185 will be reimbursed through the UVWMA grant. The remaining
$19,825 will be funded through existing budgeted funds in the General Fund, GL Account 101-50-06-21-45.
BACKGROUND:
In 2021 the City submitted for and received a grant from the Upper Valley Waste Management Agency for the construction of waste and recycling enclosures on Money Way, as part of an effort to activate the alley in the downtown economic district and to attempt to consolidate over 100 independent garbage, recycling and composting containers into consolidated bins in concealed locations. The purpose of the grant was to fund opportunities for waste diversion improvements.
Upon further review of the locations, property ownership and the infrastructure requirements for waste truck service on Money Way, the initial proposal not a feasible plan within the allotted budget. The City has since contacted the grantor, Upper Valley Waste Management Agency, to authorize the use of the grant funds for a different project. Instead of applying the funds to the Money Way Enclosure Project, the revised proposal uses the funds to purchase new waste and recycling containers and, in some Agenda Item #10.2.
cases, composting containers for all City parks and building a waste enclosure structure at one park to act as a consolidation station for waste materials from all City parks and facilities.
On May 9, staff submitted the revised grant proposal to Steve Lederer, the Agency Manager for the Upper Valley Waste Management Agency, and he indicated that the Agency determined the changes were consistent with the spirt and cost of the previous approval and authorized the City to proceed as outlined.
Staff followed procurement policies and reached out to several different vendors to source the specific approved container style and on June 11th, City Council authorized staff to purchase 108 replacement of cans (including tax & shipping) for a total cost of $103,185.
For the waste enclosure portion of the grant agreement, staff is proposing to build a waste enclosure at Crane Park to house garbage, recycling and composting. Crane Park is the city's largest park, and is the pilot location for our composting program at local parks. This facility currently lacks a designated and secure waste enclosure. The open dumpster area frequently attracts illegal dumping, diminishing the park’s aesthetics and creating operational challenges for staff tasked with managing waste and waste diversion.
To address these issues, the City proposes to contract with MG Masonry Inc. to construct a new waste, recycling, and composting enclosure. MG Masonry Inc. is a fully licensed and qualified contractor with experience in similar municipal projects.
The enclosure will comply with Napa County design standards, including stormwater best management practices (BMPs), and will feature:
Solid masonry construction
Metal access doors
A roof structure to limit water intrusion and mitigate stormwater contamination Connection to the sanitary sewer for compliant handling of any liquid waste.
This structure will improve waste management at Crane Park and serve as a centralized transfer/consolidation station for waste collected from other City parks.
DISCUSSION:
Benefits of Waste Enclosures
Reduces illegal dumping: Enclosed, secure spaces deter unauthorized use, cutting down on cleanup costs and staff time.
Improves park appearance: The structure enhances the visual appeal and orderliness of Crane Park.
Ensures environmental compliance: Conforms to stormwater BMPs and helps protect local waterways.
Agenda Item #10.2.
Operational efficiency: Provides a consolidated location for managing waste from Crane Park and other parks, reducing trips and improving workflow. Promotes public health & safety: Proper containment reduces exposure to waste, pests, and unsanitary conditions.
Funding Allocation
Staff contacted 5 different vendors to obtain quotes for building the enclosure to design specifications. The lowest responsive bid received was from MG Masonry Inc. for a total of $37,853. The total grant funding available is $125,000 and the City has already incurred costs of $103,185 for the purchase of the waste containers, leaving a budget short fall of $19,825.
The contract amount includes a 10% contingency, with partial funding from a grant provided by Upper Valley Waste Management Agency (UVWMA) and the remaining $19,825 allocated from the Public Works Administration contract services budget.
Alternative Action
Should the City Council choose not to approve the agreement with MG Masonry Inc.:
The City would forfeit $21,815 of the UVWMA grant, which may not be available again.
The existing open waste area will continue to experience illegal dumping, operational inefficiencies, and diminished park aesthetics.
Approving the attached Construction Services Agreement with MG Masonry Inc. allows the City to move forward with an important improvement to Crane Park’s waste management infrastructure. This project addresses long-standing issues, enhances operational efficiency, and leverages grant funding to reduce City expenses. Staff recommends approval to ensure timely completion and full utilization of grant funds.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This is not a CEQA Project.

In the event of noncompliance with the requirements of this section, Contractor shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice specifying in what respects such Contractor must comply with this section. Should noncompliance still be evident after such 10-day period, Contractor shall, as a penalty to City, forfeit not more than $100.00 for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. The amount of the forfeiture is to be determined by the Labor Commissioner.

Department: Public Works
DATE: June 10, 2025
FROM: Lesley Milton, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve a Resolution authorizing the purchase of additional RF-friendly Nicor Read-Rite meter box lids from PACE Supply for CIP Project W24-04 Smart Meter
Deployment, in an amount not to exceed $48,066.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
Approve the attached Resolution authorizing the purchase of additional RF-friendly Nicor Read-Rite Lids from PACE Supply for CIP Project W24-04 Smart Meter Deployment.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
October 22, 2024: Council adopted Resolution 2024-145
approving the purchase of 760 - B12 and 1,031 - B16
Nicor Read-Rite RF-friendly meter lids from PACE Supply for a total not-to-exceed cost of $123,586.
STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:
To authorize the purchase of additional RF-compatible
meter box lids related to CIP W24-04 Smart Meter
Replacement Project, in alignment with the original scope and communication provided to Council during the October 2024 meeting for the continued deployment to retrofit or replace existing aging infrastructure throughout the City and to complete CIP Project W24-04.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total cost of this purchase is not to exceed $48,066, which includes tax and freight. Funding was previously
approved utilizing water revenue bond proceeds, which
were allocated to CIP Project W24-04 Smart Meter
Deployment. The total approved funding is $1.97 million, of which $1.15 million has been expended or encumbered to
date.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes Project W24-04, the Smart Meter Deployment Project, which aims to modernize St. Helena's water metering infrastructure. The project replaces outdated water meters with state-of-the-art Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), allowing for real-time data transmission over a cellular network. This upgrade improves billing accuracy, enables leak detection, and enhances customer access to consumption data through an online portal.
To support the deployment of AMI meters, the City must also replace incompatible meter box lids. Traditional concrete or cast-iron lids interfere with radio frequency Agenda Item #10.3.
signals, rendering the new AMI meters ineffective. As such, RF-compatible lids are a critical component of the upgrade.
In October 2024, the Council approved an initial purchase of Nicor Read-Rite lids based on quantities available from a preliminary field assessment. At that time, staff informed Council that additional purchases would be required as remaining meter locations were inspected and measured. This current request represents the follow-up procurement needed to finalize the inventory of lids in preparation for full project deployment.
DISCUSSION:
This request mirrors prior Council-authorized purchases and will ensure continuity in equipment compatibility, inventory availability, and installation timelines.
PACE Supply continues to provide the most competitive pricing for Nicor Read-Rite lids, which are RF-compatible and recommended by Badger Meter for optimal performance with the Orion cellular endpoints. These purchases are being coordinated with the City’s project management consultant, Haley & Aldrich, to align with construction schedules and ensure minimal service disruption.

PROCUREMENT PROCESS:
Agenda Item #10.3.
Haley & Aldrich, the City’s contracted Owner’s Representative for the Smart Meter Project, conducted a competitive quote solicitation from multiple distributors, including PACE Supply, Ferguson/Cal-Steam, Hydro-Pro Solutions, and Sigmaco. The City received multiple quotations and determined that PACE Supply offered the lowest responsive quote for Nicor lids, which are recommended by Badger Meter and known for high compatibility with the Orion endpoints.
This purchase continues the use of PACE Supply as a vendor for Nicor lids based on price competitiveness, quality, and previous successful delivery. All procurement procedures comply with the City’s purchasing policies.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This action is not a project under CEQA and is therefore exempt.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-__
APPROVE A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL RFFRIENDLY NICOR READ-RITE METER BOX LIDS FROM PACE SUPPLY FOR CIP PROJECT W24-04 SMART METER DEPLOYMENT, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $48,065.90.
RECITALS
A. On June 25, 2024, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the sole source purchase of SMART Advanced Meter Infrastructure from Badger Meter, Inc. for a not-to-exceed cost of $1,056,966.44 for CIP Project W24-04 Smart Meter Deployment.
B. On October 22, 2024, the City Council authorized the purchase of 760 B12 and 1,031 B16 Nicor Read-Rite, RF-compatible meter box lids from PACE Supply for a not-to-exceed cost of $123,586.00.
C. Due to having only a partial inventory of meters and box sizes done in house prior to the start of the meter project, the City requires additional quantities of meters and lids to fulfill the project needs of the Smart Meter Deployment Project.
D. As part of the construction contract with ProMeters Inc, the construction contractor was tasked to complete the inventory and submit a list of remaining sizes and quantities of lids needed to complete the project.
D. Badger Meter Inc. remains the City's sole source provider for compatible SMART meters, and PACE Supply provided the lowest quote for Nicor lids which are recommended by Badger for use with their Orion Cellular Endpoints.
E. Funding for this purchase is available through previously approved water revenue bond proceeds allocated to CIP Project W24-04.

Agenda Section: CONSENT ITEMS
Department: Public Works
DATE: June 10, 2025
FROM: Carlos Uribe, Assistant Public Works Operations Manager SUBJECT: Approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a change order with Bobcat of Santa Rosa in the amount of $5,900. This change order accounts for sales
tax that was inadvertently omitted from the original
agreement. The revised not-to-exceed contract amount is $79,213.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
Approval of the attached resolution.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
The Council Adopted Budget for FY 2024-25 included
approval of funding for the purchase of a Compact Track Loader.
Council approved the purchase of the Compact Track
Loader on February 25, 2025.
STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:
Approval of a change order in the amount of $5,900 to
Bobcat of Santa Rosa for the purchase of a Compact
Track Loader.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total financial impact of the purchase is $79,213 which is available in the Council Adopted FY 2024-25 Operating Budget for the Water Treatment Plant Fund 561 for Capital Purchases in GL Account 561-50-34-26-70.
BACKGROUND:
City Council approved the purchase of a Compact Track Loader for the Water Treatment Plant on February 25, 2025, in the amount of $73,312. The Compact Tract Loader is an essential piece of equipment which allows staff to perform periodic backwash operations which is required to remain compliant with the City's Permit to Operate issued by the State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water.
DISCUSSION:
The initial quote of $73,312 for the Compact Tract Loader did not include applicable sales tax. At the time of the original request of use of funds from City Counci, staff proceeded based on the subtotal amount listed in the vendor's quote, under the assumption that tax was included in the quote. Upon receipt of the final invoice, it was confirmed that sales tax in the amount of $5,900 is due in addition to the previously authorized amount. As a result, the total costs exceed the approved $73,312.
Agenda Item #10.4.
To ensure timely payment and to maintain good standing with the vendor, staff is requesting additional funds to cover the full invoiced amount.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: None.

Department: Public Works
DATE: June 10, 2025
FROM: Lesley Milton, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve a Resolution authorizing the purchase, delivery, and installation of two custom metal utility buildings at the Corporation Yard from Pro Metal Buildings Inc. in an
amount not to exceed $33,663, to be funded from existing appropriations.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:
The purpose is to approval of purchase of two custom
utility buildings from Pro Metal Buildings Inc. for Public Works Corporation Yard to provide storage for essential equipment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total cost for the two structures, including tax, delivery, and installation, is a not to exceed cost of $33,663.
Sufficient funds are available in the Public Works
Administration budget. A budget transfer in the amount of $33,663 from 101-5000-2130 (Professional Contracts) to

BACKGROUND:
The Corporation Yard houses essential vehicles, equipment, and materials critical to the City’s daily operations and emergency response capabilities. Existing storage capacity is insufficient to protect all equipment and supplies from exposure to inclement weather and prolonged sun exposure, leading to premature wear, increased maintenance costs, and reduced service life of valuable assets.
As part of a broader effort to improve operational safety, security, and equipment preservation at the Corporation Yard, the City is undertaking a series of capital improvements, including:
Replacement of perimeter security fencing
Implementation of drainage and stormwater control measures Repaving of the yard surface
Agenda Item #10.5.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed purchase of two custom metal utility buildings from Pro Metal Buildings Inc. will supplement existing storage and allow the Public Works Department to better safeguard its investment in equipment and materials. In addition to asset protection, the new structures will contribute to a safer and more organized work environment for field crews.
Pro Metal Buildings Inc. provided a competitive quote for two prefabricated utility structures tailored to the City’s specifications, including installation and delivery. The design and dimensions of the buildings are consistent with current site conditions and planned upgrades. Staff has consulted with the City's Building Official and Fire Marshal and has ensured the structures are compliant with regulations and do not require permits or fire suppression systems.

Agenda Report to the City Council
Agenda Section: CONSENT ITEMS
Department: Public Works
DATE: June 10, 2025
FROM: Lesley Milton, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution of the City Council of the City of St. Helena Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment 02A
To Professional Services Agreement with Economy Lock
and Key, Inc.; STH Contract No: 2023-018 For Security
Associated with the Napa Valley College Tenant
Improvement Project (NVC-Ti) for an Additional $15,994
for a Total Not-To-Exceed Amount Of $84,518.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
Staff recommends Approval of Contract Amendment 02A
with Economy Lock & Key Inc. for Fire Department Door
Lock Replacement for an additional $15,994.00 and a not to Exceed cost of $84,518.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
1. On November 22, 2022, the City of St. Helena and
Economy Lock and Key, Inc. entered into an
agreement for services associated with the security
for the Napa Valley College Tenant Improvement
Project (NVC-TI); and
2. On March 3, 2024 the city of St. Helena and
Economy Lock and Key amended the agreement
budget in the amount of $45,000 because of tasks
that required additional efforts, tasks beyond the
original scope of service, and to be able to provide
a fully electronic lock facility security system for City Hall;
The proposed contract for the Fire Department continues the City’s phased approach to implementing a consistent and modern access control system across all City-owned
facilities.
STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:
This action will standardize security infrastructure across City facilities by extending the centralized electronic access control system currently in use at City Hall, the Library, and the Carnegie Building. The new system will enhance operational efficiency, improve building security, and reduce long-term maintenance efforts by enabling
remote management of employee access credentials
through a secure web portal.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Total cost is $15,994, to be funded from Government Buildings Maintenance Fund 101-50-06-21-45. Though
Agenda Item #10.6.
there is an upfront cost, long-term savings are expected through reduced labor for lock management and enhanced
operational control.
BACKGROUND:
The City has invested in a unified electronic access control system at City Hall, the Library, and the Carnegie Building. These systems allow staff access to be remotely managed through a secure web portal. Each user is assigned a unique code or key fob, and access levels can be modified digitally without requiring physical reprogramming at each door.
Currently, the Fire Department remains on a legacy access system that requires individual door programming. This results in significant staff time to administer and creates inconsistencies in access control.
DISCUSSION:
To align with City standards and improve facility security and operational efficiency, staff is proposing to upgrade all door locks at the Fire Department located at 1500 Main Street. The proposed system by Economy Lock & Key Inc. will match existing infrastructure at other civic facilities, including:
Installation of a central Air Access radio and gateway, Networked locks at all key entrances,
Keypad/reader integration for secure and remote access, Connectivity via cellular/LTE with cloud-based access control.
Once installed, this system will allow for centralized, real-time control of door access, enhancing both security and flexibility in operations. The estimate also includes one year of cellular and cloud account service.
The proposed not-to-exceed cost of $15,994 includes all hardware, installation, software integration, and tax.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Not a CEQA project.

Agenda Report to the City Council
Agenda Section: PUBLIC HEARINGS
Department: Planning
DATE: June 10, 2025
FROM: Jackie Oneal, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Appeal (APP25-002) filed by Caroline Hernandez of Outstanding in the Field and Jorge Hernandez, Property
Owner, to uphold the May 20, 2025 approval of the
application for a Temporary Use Permit (TUP25-005) in
order to allow for the private Andrea Bocelli dinner and entertainment event to be held the Monte Olivos estate, located at 2500 Spring Mountain Road, St. Helena, within the Twenty-Acre Agriculture zoning district with a
maximum attendance of 600 persons and to be held on
June 20, 2025.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Determine that the project is exempt from the
requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15304(e); and
2. Approve a resolution upholding the Planning
Commission’s approval of TUP25-005 in order to
allow the Andrea Bocelli dinner and entertainment
event with up to 600 guests on the Monte Olivos
estate located at 2500 Spring Mountain Road.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:
To hold an appeal hearing regarding the TUP approval by the Planning Commission on May 20, 2025 in order to
uphold the applicant's right to conduct the Andrea Bocelli dinner and entertainment event at the Monte Olivos
Estate, 2500 Spring Mountain Road, on June 20, 2025.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: This request is for an ancillary event to be held in conjunction with the Weekend in Napa Valley event. The
proposed events are anticipated to draw thousands of
visitors into the Napa Valley. A specific economic impact report has not been generated for economic spending
estimates for St. Helena, but countywide, the economic
impact is anticipated to be between $18 million and $25 million. A number of local St. Helena hotels are hosting guests for this event. The influx of tourists will likely boost revenues of local serving businesses as well.
Agenda Item #11.1.
BACKGROUND:
On April 8, 2025, Caroline Hernandez submitted an application requesting approval of a Temporary Use Permit to allow for a private, ticketed, Andrea Bocelli dinner event to be held the Monte Olivos estate, located at 2500 Spring Mountain Road, St. Helena, within the Twenty-Acre Agriculture zoning district to be held on June 20, 2025, with a maximum attendance of 600 persons.
The Planning Commission considered the applicant’s request at a meeting held on May 20, 2025, and approved the application 4-0. (See Attachment 2. Planning Commission Staff Report). At that meeting, concerns were expressed by adjacent residents on Spring Mountain Road and the day following the approval, one of the residents contacted the City regarding the process to file an appeal. Per SHMC 17.12, the procedures for appeals requires a 14-day waiting period before the deciding body's decision is final. If an appeal is filed, it must be heard at a regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council. Due to the constrained timing between the Planning Commission's approval and the date of the event, there would not be a feasible way for an appeal hearing to be held prior to the scheduled events. Therefore, if an appeal was filed towards the end of the 14-day appeal period, the granted approval would be suspended until a decision was rendered at the next regularly held City Council meeting, causing the event to be cancelled.
Given that the approved event generated opposition in the form of written public comment to the planning commission and city council, and the high likelihood of an appeal being filed which could cause the event to be cancelled, the applicant has chosen to preemptively file for an appeal to ensure that the City Council has an opportunity to review the application, hear from all interested parties, and make a final decision regarding the request to hold the entertainment event June 20, 2025.
DISCUSSION:
APPELLANT’S GROUNDS FOR APPEAL
On May 22, 2025, the appellant filed an appeal application setting forth the basis for requesting that the City Council uphold the Planning Commission's approval of the TUP on May 20, 2025 (Attachment 3. Appeal Application). As described in the Background section of this staff report, this appeal has been filed in order to preserve the applicant's right to an appeal hearing in order to get a final decision on the issuance of the requested TUP for the Andrea Bocelli dinner and entertainment event to be held at the Monte Olivos Estate at 2500 Spring Mountain Road.
The details of the proposed event are outlined in the attached Planning Commission Staff Report. The approved Conditions of Approval have been integrated into the attached resolution.
Agenda Item #11.1.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND CONCERN
At the May 20, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, several neighbors spoke in objection of the proposed project, primarily citing concerns related to safety, noise, and potential issues related to ingress and egress. Written public comments submitted to the Planning Commission are attached for the Council's review (See Attachment 4. Written Public Comment).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304(e), which exempts the minor temporary use of land having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment.

GENERAL PLAN/ZONING: Agriculture/Twenty-Acre Agriculture APPLICANT: Caroline Hernandez,
Outstanding in the Field
PHONE: 707-710-0039
BACKGROUND
On April 8, 2025, Caroline Hernandez submitted an application requesting approval of a Temporary Use Permit to allow for a private, ticketed, Andrea Bocelli dinner event to be held the Monte Olivos estate, located at 2500 Spring Mountain Road, St. Helena, within the Twenty-Acre Agriculture zoning district to be held on June 20, 2025, with a maximum attendance of 600 persons.
Agenda Item #11.1.
The St. Helena Municipal Code includes a provision (SHMC 17.22.250 (D)(1)) that allows the Community Development Director to refer a TUP application to the Planning Commission when there are factors such as events with attendance over 400 persons.
After learning about the proposed event featuring celebrity musician Andrea Bocelli and the high attendance projections, the Community Director advised the applicant that the request would be referred to the Planning Commission for consideration which is the subject of this staff report. In February 2025, Staff administratively approved one TUP for an unrelated, music and dinner event held on the site.
The project site is located in the north western portion of St. Helena with a portion of the site fronting along Main Street. Spring Mountain Road is located south of the site and access to the site is provided by Bieber Road, a private road that serves this site and other residences in the immediate vicinity. The property is developed with a singlefamily residence and associated accessory structures and an agricultural barn complex that was approved for use as a commercial agricultural olive oil press, processing, and storage facility in 2014. There is an olive grove on the site with the remaining undeveloped area containing wooded slopes around the perimeter Uses to the north (within the unincorporated portion of the County), west and south consist of large, agriculturally zoned parcels, some developed with estate homes and wineries. The Culinary Institute of America’s Greystone campus is located to the south and east of the site with agricultural uses located to the immediate east, on the west side of Main Street (SR 29).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
Caroline Hernandez (Outstanding in the Field) has requested approval of a temporary use permit to host a one-day, ticketed event to consist of a seated dinner with live entertainment by Andrea Bocelli accompanied by classical instruments (piano, viola, violin, cello, and flute). The concert would be held on Friday, June 20, 2025 with expected attendance not to exceed 600 guests who would be on-site from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Live entertainment would end at 9:30 PM with light, ambient music to follow until the conclusion of the event. Staff and vendors would be on-site to set-up/breakdown from Wednesday, June 18, 2025 to Sunday June 22, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, with the exception of the day of the event, when staff and vendors will be onsite from 8 a.m. to 12 a.m.
TRANSPORTATION
All guest arrivals and departures will be facilitated using small motor coaches operating between Charles Krug Winery and 2500 Spring Mountain. Guests will park at Charles Krug Winery, arriving via private vehicle or rideshare service. Charles Krug Winery has agreed to serve exclusively as the designated parking and transportation hub for the event.
Parking personnel will be deployed on-site at Charles Krug Winery to manage traffic flow, direct vehicles, and assist guests during arrival and departure. Guests will be Agenda Item #11.1.
transported on 13 mini-coach buses each with a capacity of 27-35 passengers.
Passengers will be transported in two waves beginning at 4:30 p.m. from the Charles Krug Winery to the event via Spring Mountain Road. On-site staff will coordinate traffic management to ensure smooth ingress and egress at the event as well as assist with local traffic. At the event's conclusion, motor coaches will return guests to Charles Krug Winery for pickup and departure with the final departure estimated at 10:00 pm.
No patron parking will be permitted at the 2500 Spring Mountain Road site. On-site parking will be limited and restricted to essential working personnel only.
KITCHENS & TENTING
The event will utilize pop up tents, but there will be no other tenting involved. Three kitchens will be stationed onsite, each utilizing propane and wood-fired cooking equipment, consisting of convection ovens, grills, fryers, griddles, and six-burner stove ovens. No heated cooking equipment will be used under the tenting. The Commission will note that the submitted written statement incorrectly states that tents under 400 square feet will not require a building permit. A Condition of Approval requires a building permit for any tent larger that 120 square feet.
RESTROOMS AND SANITATION
There will be three self-contained restroom trailers from United Site Services available onsite; one ten-stall public restroom trailer, one eight-stall ADA accessible public restroom trailer, and one four-stall staff-only restroom trailer.
STAGES
A temporary 40 ft. x 20 ft. stage will be erected along with two, approximately 22 foot tall scaffolds on each side of the stage which will be used to hold audio and lighting equipment. A Condition of Approval states that a building permit will be required for these temporary structures.
LIGHTING
Dining tables will be lit with string lights down the length of each table. These string lightings will be powered by power drops from generators. Guest pathways will be lit by eight foot tall pin spots connected to property’s grid power and battery-powered up lights. Shuttle drop-off areas will be lit by pin spots connected to property’s grid power.
Kitchens will be lit by both battery powered stand lights and rented lighting, connected to property’s grid power & power drops from generators. Two light towers connected to generators will be utilized for back of house and breakdown purposes.
SITE MODIFICATIONS
There will be no modifications to any existing buildings or any other permanent site modifications. Generators will be places on-site to supplement the existing power grid and temporary fencing will be anchored to the ground with sandbags.
Agenda Item #11.1.
SECURITY, FIRST AID, AND EMERGENCY PLAN
An on-site paramedic and ambulance will be present, managed by Rock Medicine. The medical services will be equipped with first aid supplies and basic life support, to respond to any medical needs during the event's duration. Additionally, security guards will be deployed to oversee guest safety, assist with crowd management, manage emergencies, and monitor the overall security of the event space. Weather conditions will be actively monitored through a professional meteorological service to ensure timely awareness of any developing hazards.
Event staff will be trained on emergency protocols and will communicate via radio or mobile phone to coordinate efficient and safe responses. Two points of ingress and egress will remain accessible to provide alternative access routes in the event of an emergency. In the event of inclement weather, guests will be directed to shelter in place. In the case of a need for evacuation, the motor coaches staged on-site during the event will be utilized for transportation.
ANALYSIS
CEQA
Staff has conducted the required analysis and concluded that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304(e), which exempts the minor temporary use of land having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment.
St. Helena Municipal Code (SHMC) 17.05.110 establishes that the purpose of a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) is to provide procedures for short-term activities and uses on privately or publicly owned property with appropriate regulations so that such activities will be compatible with the surrounding areas. A TUP may only be approved after the the deciding body has made the following findings:
1. The temporary activity complies with applicable standards identified in Section
17.22.250, Temporary uses; and
2. Maintenance or operation of the temporary activity would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed temporary activity.
Staff Response: SHMC Section 17.22.250(B) establishes that that short term activities listed in 17.22.250(D) may be allowed via application and approval of a Temporary Use Permit (TUP). Such temporary allowed activities include events such as food and outdoor entertainment events on nonresidential properties when such activities do not exceed fourteen consecutive days or six two-day weekends.
While there is an existing single-family residence on the property, the site maintains an active agricultural use and the nature of the one-day event meets the required Code Standards.
Agenda Item #11.1.
Staff finds that the documentation submitted by the applicant clearly demonstrates that the proposed event will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of those persons residing or working in the vicinity of the site. The applicant has submitted a detailed ingress and egress plan, traffic management plan, and will have safety, medical, and security staff on-site. Further, the application materials have been reviewed and approved by St. Helena Police, Fire, Building, and Public Works departments.
St. Helena, California, prioritizes the protection of its rural and small-town character by managing environmental noise to preserve quality of life and public health. As outlined in the Public Health, Safety, and Noise Element of the General Plan, the city identifies key noise sources, sensitive land uses, and quantifiable standards to guide land use planning and noise mitigation efforts.
Given that the location of the event is within a zoning district that allows residential uses with known residences within a mile of the event location, staff required the applicant to submit a noise study to confirm that the proposal would not create disturbances to any sensitive receptors. The submitted study was prepared using the standard methodology for calculating outdoor sound propagation and has been peer-reviewed by a Board Certified Institute of Noise Control Engineer, Luke Saxelby. Figure 1 of the study indicated that approximately eight residences located approximately .25 to .50 miles from the event site may experience noise levels between 40-55 dBA during the duration of the event. As such, the applicants have obtained a Noise Permit from the St. Helena Police Departments. The Conditions of Approval for the Noise Permit include noticing nearby residents and on-site decibel monitoring and have been incorporated into the attached resolution. The study verifies that there will not be any perceptible disturbance to residences beyond .50 miles as the sound levels are expected to attenuate at 40 dBA or below at that distance.
ISSUES
Staff has not identified any outstanding issues related to this application that require additional discussion.
CORRESPONDENCE
At the time of agenda publication, staff had not received any correspondence related to this application.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
For the reasons described above, staff recommends that the Planning Commission:
1. Determine that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304(e), which Agenda Item #11.1.
exempts the minor temporary use of land having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment.
2. Adopt the attached Resolution approving TUP25-005 to allow for the private, ticketed, Andrea Bocelli dinner and entertainment event to be held the Monte Olivos estate, located at 2500 Spring Mountain Road, St. Helena, within the Twenty-Acre Agriculture zoning district, to be held on June 20, 2025, with a maximum attendance of 600 persons, subject to the Conditions of Approval enumerated therein.

Subject: Acoustical Peer Review for the “A Dinner at Bocelli’s” Event – Monte Olivos, St.
Helena, California
Dear Mr. Fordin:
Saxelby Acoustics has reviewed the noise study prepared by RSC Audio Engineering LLC1 which has been
included here as Attachment 1. The following outlines the study and our review of the methods and conclusions.
The study uses the NoizCalc 4.0 module within SoundPLAN to calculate the noise emissions of the proposed concert event. Noise levels are mapped according to ISO 9316-2 which is the worldwide leading methodology for calculating and mapping outdoor sound propagation. The calculated operating level of up to 90-95 dBA at 120 feet from the sound source is reasonable for a concert of this size. We concur that a median level of around 90 dBA is a realistic for this type of event. The mapped noise levels for the project as shown on Figures 1 and 2 are in line with what we would expect to see for the assumed source levels. In our experience the levels predicted using SoundPLAN tend to be conservative for events of this nature, especially at distances beyond around 1,000 feet. We concur that sound levels at or below 40 dBA, beyond ½ mile are likely to become barely perceptible or inaudible.
We hope this peer review is helpful. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any additional questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Saxelby Acoustics LLC

RSC Audio Engineering, LLC 2025 I. Introduction
The primary objective of this noise study is to evaluate the potential noise levels at various receptors specifically the nearest receptors to the event site. Local authorities have requested a detailed prediction of sound levels at these receptors to ensure that the event complies with applicable noise ordinances and does not cause disruptions to the surrounding area. The study will focus on calculating predicted SPLs based on the sound source at a reference position located 120 feet from the performance area.
A. Event Information
Name Of Event: Dinner At Bocellis
Date: Friday June 20, 2025
Location: Monte Olivos – St. Helena, CA
Operation Hours: Saturday: 6PM-9:59PM (Hard Curfew)
Noise Source: 1 open-air outdoor stages – Broadband,
Instruments: Piano, 2 Violins, 1 Viola, 1 Cello, Vocalists Receptors: Adjacent neighbors
B. Sound Source
The sound source for the event will primarily consist of a small string quartet with sound amplification provided through a high-quality sound system. This study aims to predict and assess SPL produced by orchestral performance, specifically focusing on the potential impact of these sound levels on the nearby community.
II. Definitions
Decibel (dB): A unit measuring the intensity of sound. The decibel scale is logarithmic, meaning a 10 dB increase represents a tenfold increase in intensity.
A-Weighting (dBA): A frequency weighting that approximates the human ear's sensitivity to di_erent frequencies, commonly used in environmental noise assessments.
A-Weighted Equivalent Continuous Sound Level (LAeq): The average sound level over a specified period, accounting for varying noise levels.
Sound Pressure Level (SPL): The pressure variation, relative to a reference value, caused by a sound wave, typically measured in decibels.

III. Local Noise Overview
Typical ambient noise levels in St. Helena, California particularly in areas with tra_ic or commercial activity, can raise the ambient noise floor above these limits. For example, tra_ic noise along major roads can range from 55 dBA to 70 dBA during peak hours, depending on the volume of vehicles. In more commercial or industrial zones, ambient noise levels can exceed 65 dBA due to the combined e_ect of vehicle tra_ic, equipment operation, and other sources of noise. Furthermore, common gardening equipment, such as lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and hedge trimmers, can significantly raise ambient noise levels, often exceeding 85 dBA, which may contribute to overall noise disturbance in residential areas, particularly when used for extended periods.
St. Helena, California, prioritizes the protection of its rural and small-town character by managing environmental noise to preserve quality of life and public health. As outlined in the Public Health, Safety, and Noise Element of the General Plan, the city identifies key noise sources, sensitive land uses, and quantifiable standards to guide land use planning and noise mitigation e_orts.
The City has established maximum allowable LAeq thresholds for intrusive noise across specific time periods. These standards are designed to protect the most sensitive receptors—primarily residential areas—and represent the maximum ambient levels considered acceptable to avoid adverse impacts on homes and other noise-sensitive land uses:
• Daytime (7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.): 45 dBA LAeq
• Evening (7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.): 40 dBA LAeq
• Nighttime (10:00 p.m. – 7:00 a.m.): 35 dBA LAeq
Any proposed project or activity producing noise above these levels at a noise-sensitive receptor is considered potentially significant and may require mitigation.
IV. Methodology
This noise study utilizes predictive modeling to assess the potential SPL at various receptors surrounding the outdoor orchestral music event. The methodology incorporates the following key components:

Unauthorized review, retransmission, dissemination, modification, copying, or any action taken based on this information by anyone other than the intended recipient is prohibited. RSC Audio Engineering, LLC 2025 A. Software and Model
Software: NoizCalc 4.0 (SoundPLAN) a noise prediction software specifically designed for use with D&B Audiotechnik manufactured sound systems, was used to generate noise predictions for the event.
Model: The ISO 9316-2:1996 calculation model was employed to account for sound propagation, including environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. This model is recognized for its reliability in predicting outdoor sound levels and is widely used in environmental noise assessments.
B. Sound Levels at Reference Position During Musical Event SPL predictions were made based on measurements taken at a FOH position located 120 feet from the sound source. Two reference SPL values were generated:
• 95 dBA (Maximum prediction) – Should not exceed this maximum amount • 90 dBA (Medium prediction) – This is the average prediction amount The 90dBA prediction was conducted to provide a realistic representation of the event’s loudest expected sustained level while remaining consistent with modern sound engineering practices for open-air concerts. However, given that the event will feature a small orchestral group, overall sound levels are expected to be lower than those of amplified or large ensemble performances ensuring alignment with the City of St. Helena’s noise standards and minimizing the potential for exceedance at the nearest residential receptors. Based on the prediction conducted at 95 dBA, consistent sound levels at or above 95 dBA should be avoided. Predictions for this SPL can be found in Appendix A.
C. Speaker Manufacturer Consideration
Although a di_erent speaker manufacturer may be used for the actual event, the model was created using a comparable speaker driver size and output to ensure that the predictions remain accurate. The selected speaker model for the predictions has a similar output capacity and dispersion characteristics, ensuring that the sound levels predicted here are representative of the actual event's sound system performance.
D. Environmental Considerations
Historical data on temperature and humidity were incorporated into the predictions to simulate real-world conditions. These factors influence sound propagation and were factored into the ISO 9316-2:1996 calculations to provide accurate estimates of SPL at various receptor locations.

A. Noise Level - Nearest Receptors
Based on a maximum FOH SPL of 90 dBA, receptors located beyond ½ mile are predicted to experience sound pressure levels at or below 40 dBA, aligning with the City of St.
Helena’s evening LAeq threshold for intrusive noise. Because the event is scheduled to conclude by 10:00 p.m., all sound activity will cease before the City's more restrictive nighttime threshold of 35 dBA takes e_ect. The SPL levels represented in these figures, are based on the instrumental ensemble consisting of 1 Piano, 2 Violins, 1 Viola, 1 Cello and Vocalists.

Environmental conditions such as terrain and elevation di_erences were considered in the modeling. Some of the nearest residential receptors are located at higher elevations relative to the performance area, which may reduce natural ground attenuation and result in slightly elevated received levels. However, modeling suggests that even with these topographic factors, receptors beyond 1/2 mile remain within compliance. The predicted sound field is not expected to cause significant exceedance of local noise standards, and no additional mitigation is deemed necessary.
