Summary of council actions taken Nov. 4, 2025:
• Police department painting contract (Agenda item 6.2) — Motion to award contract to T and S Maintenance approved by roll call 4–1 (Mayor Williams opposed). Staff noted the contract is below the $75,000 threshold that allowed procurement without a formal advertised bid; staff will advertise City Hall painting as a larger bid in spring.
• Multi‑day music festival consultant agreement (Agenda item 6.5) — Council approved a resolution authorizing execution of a consultant services agreement with Rite Music Production for a multi‑day festival at the Napa County Fairgrounds. The agreement includes exclusivity for multi‑day rock festivals; council members and public commenters discussed the five‑year term before approval (motion recorded; roll call recorded as unanimous).
• Short‑term rental zoning ordinance (Agenda item 7.1) — Council adopted an ordinance creating a dedicated short‑term rental chapter (17.34), codifying the existing prohibition, defining hosting platforms and booking transactions, providing subpoena authority to obtain platform data, and establishing a tiered fine structure (base fine $1,000; higher penalties where public health or safety is endangered).
• 2025 California Building Standards (Agenda item 7.2) — Council approved first reading to adopt the 2025 California Building Standards with limited local amendments including a requirement for Class A roof materials for added ember protection; staff and the city attorney noted AB 130-related findings to be included on second reading.
• Home repair program (Agenda item 8.1) — Council authorized staff to prepare an RFP to reestablish an income‑qualified home repair program and to consider using Measure D funds as part of a funding strategy; staff will return with partner options and budget recommendations.
All actions above were recorded in the meeting minutes and roll calls; staff will return with implementation and vendor options where indicated.
