RECOMMENDATION: Receive report and provide feedback to staff regarding proposed survey questions. BACKGROUND: At its October 1, 2019 meeting, the Council suggested several changes to the draft survey and directed staff to bring the survey back for final review. ANALYSIS: During the goal setting and budgeting process earlier this calendar year, the City Council directed staff to develop a community survey for the purpose of gathering information and feedback from residents. Community surveys are increasingly used by cities to solicit feedback from residents on a wide variety of topics including community perception, community priorities or concerns, and staff performance. The information generated by these types of surveys is useful in setting goals, developing future budgets, planning capital projects, and identifying improvements to city programs. Surveys such as this should be conducted periodically, either annually or every other year, so that results to certain questions can be compared to see trends over time. Concerns expressed by residents through the survey can be addressed, and new concerns can be noted for possible future action by the city. As new issues arise or are Page 33 of 48 identified, additional questions can be added to (or removed from) the survey each time it is distributed. As drafted the survey features a variety of questions related to quality of life issues and community perceptions, infrastructure, downtown, and recreation services. There are also optional demographics questions to help measure response rates from different demographics. It is important to note that the survey is completely anonymous. Based on feedback received from the City Council at its October 1, 2019 meeting, staff has made several edits to the draft survey which include eliminating or rewording several questions, and adding survey questions pertaining to Nixle Alerts and climate change. The multiple-choice answers for several questions were also altered or simplified based on Council suggestions. The quality of the data generated by community surveys such as this one relies heavily on a good response rate across all the city’s demographics. With that in mind, the survey will be conducted primarily online in English and in Spanish with a paper option available as well. Staff will alert residents to the availability of the survey through postcards sent through the mail, links on the city’s website, eNotify, the newspaper, social media, flyers, and outreach to various community groups. If the Council approves the amended survey questions (Attachment 1), the survey would go live in mid to late October and be open through mid-November. This should maximize the opportunity for responses before the holidays, but also give staff adequate time to analyze the data before the end of the calendar year. Staff will share the survey results with the City Council and the community via a report and presentation at a future City Council meeting. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The survey will be conducted for less than $2,000 using budgeted funds from Account Number 01-4114-4415, where sufficient appropriations for the purposes of this survey were put in the FY 19-20 budget. Funds will be spent on online survey software, printing, and mailing. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Approved by Michael Kirn, City Manager DESCRIPTION: Consideration of a Resolution Ratifying the Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency and a Resolution Terminating the Local Emergency. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolutions BACKGROUND: On Friday October 4, 2019 a red flag alert was issued for all of Napa County and an alert of forecasted high winds on Monday through Thursday of the following week. Given the severity of the situation City staff began preparing for an anticipated Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). Portable fuel tanks were delivered to the PW Corp Yard, all emergency back-up generators were fueled, emergency equipment was staged, water reservoirs filled and staffing schedules adjusted to ensure coverage during a PSPS. ANALYSIS: On Monday October 7, 2019 PGE issued a formal notice of potential PSPS due to increased fire risk from forecasted severe weather conditions including high temperatures, high winds and low humidity. On October 8, 2019 Napa County opened their Emergency Operation Center and began preparing for the PSPS. On Wednesday October 9, 2019 at approximately 12:30 AM PG&E de-energized significant portions of their service territory including all of Calistoga. Page 43 of 48 At approximately 1:30 PM on Wednesday PGE was able to re-energize approximately 60% of the town from generators at the Hwy 29 sub-station. The area energized was basically east of the Napa River up to just south of Greenwood Ave. and included the Calistoga Elementary school. The remaining parts of town, including everything west of the Napa River was without power until full restoration was achieved. At the time of this report (2:00 PM October 11) grid power had not been restored to Calistoga. Pursuant to Government Code section 8630 and City of Calistoga Municipal Code Section 2.18.060(A) the City Manager/Director of Emergency Services issued a proclamation of local emergency due to the conditions created by PG&Es de-energizing the electrical system in the Calistoga and the associated impacts to public safety and service delivery. Adoption of the recommended ratifying Resolution ratifies the proclamation of a local emergency issued by the Director of Emergency Services on October 9, 2019. Adoption of the second Resolution terminates the declaration of the local emergency effective October 16, 2019. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Expenses associated with the October 9, 2019 PSPS include but not limited to: overtime and designated PSPS staffing; emergency fuel; lodging; food; designated PSPS response equipment. Preliminary estimates are in the $40,000 range. CEQA REVIEW: Not applicable. CONSISTENCY WITH CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: The recommended action supports Council Goal No. 7, Objective 1 - Enhance community disaster preparation, including wildfires. ALTERNATIVES: The City Council may choose to not adopt the recommended Resolutions. Under this alternative the City may be limited in its ability to recover costs should the State make an official declaration of emergency and reimbursement funds become available.
