City of Calistoga STAFF REPORT To: Housing Advisory Committee From: Andrew Amelung, Senior Planner Meeting: *SPECIAL MEETING* - Housing Advisory Committee - Jul 27 2026 (Rescheduling of Jul 20 2026)) Subject: Review of Amendments to the Advisory Committee Bylaws DESCRIPTION: Review of Amendments to the Advisory Committee Bylaws RECOMMENDATION: Receive the Presentation SUMMARY: On June 2, 2026, the City Council amended the bylaws governing all City advisory committees, including the Housing Advisory Committee. The amendments clarify two roles and apply uniformly to every advisory body, with revisions providing clarification on meeting locations. ANALYSIS: On June 3, 2026, the City Council amended the bylaws governing all City advisory committees, including the Housing Advisory Committee. The amendments clarify two roles and apply uniformly to every advisory body. In a staff report prepared by the Planning and Building Department's Management Analyst, the following analysis of revisions to the bylaws was presented to the City Council: The Advisory Committee Bylaws establish the Staff Liaison as the principal advisor to the committee and provide that the Staff Liaison assists with agenda preparation, administrative coordination, and preparation of staff reports for presentation to the Committee. Article XI, Section B of the Bylaws further provides that committees may prepare Committee Reports to be submitted to the Staff Liaison for placement on an upcoming City Council agenda. Additionally, Article XI, Section D states that committee members shall communicate and work on committee matters with City staff through the Staff Liaison or Staff Secretary unless otherwise permitted by the City Manager or their designee. Resolution No. 2024-29, adopted April 30, 2024, established the appointment of a Councilmember Liaison to each committee to facilitate communication between the committees and the City Council. The Resolution further provides that the Councilmember Liaison shall bring forward committee requests to the Council, including requests to place items on a Council agenda. The Resolution also states that attendance at committee meetings by the Councilmember Liaison is encouraged but not required and remains at the discretion of the Councilmember. Page 7 of 29  Item #6.1. Collectively, the governing documents establish multiple communication avenues between Advisory Committees and the City Council through both assigned Staff Liaisons and Councilmember Liaisons. However, the documents do not expressly establish an exclusive communication pathway or designate one role as the sole conduit for committee-related matters intended for City Council consideration. This structure provides operational continuity and flexibility in facilitating committee-related matters within the City’s established administrative agenda process, including circumstances in which a Councilmember Liaison may not be present or available. Staff recognizes the importance of maintaining clear and consistent communication procedures to support transparency, accessibility, and effective coordination between Advisory Committees, City staff, and the City Council. Staff recommends that the City Council consider the proposed amendments to the Advisory Committee Bylaws to formally incorporate the role of the Councilmember Liaison within the committee communication framework. Such amendments would clarify that committee-related requests or matters intended for City Council consideration may be communicated through either the assigned Staff Liaison or the Councilmember Liaison, consistent with the City’s established agenda preparation and administrative review procedures. Staff believes these clarifications would promote greater consistency, transparency, and understanding regarding the respective roles and communication pathways established for Advisory Committees. Additionally, staff have made administrative changes to the document (red text) to be less restrictive as to the meeting location and fix some grammatical errors. Staff further recognizes that incorporation of the Councilmember Liaison role into the Advisory Committee Bylaws would serve to clarify and consolidate the City’s existing governance framework and is not intended to replace or nullify Resolution No. 2024-29. The Resolution would continue to establish the appointment and general purpose of Councilmember Liaisons, while the bylaws would provide additional procedural clarification regarding committee communication pathways and operational roles. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are no financial impacts regarding this item. CEQA STATUS: This item is not a project as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378; no environmental review is required.

City of Calistoga STAFF REPORT To: Chair Maurer and Members of the Housing Advisory Committee From: Andrew Amelung, Senior Planner Meeting: Housing Advisory Committee Regular Meeting – July 27, 2026 Subject: 2026–2027 Housing Outreach Implementation Program DESCRIPTION This agenda item is a continued discussion on the 2026–2027 Housing Outreach Implementation Program that organizes the Housing Element’s outreach-related action items into four strategic tracks, establishes program standards for bilingual access, partnerships, communications, and event follow-up, and sets an outreach calendar through December 2027. RECOMMENDATION Consider discussing the item and providing staff direction, including: (1) confirmation of the four- track structure and proposed program standards; (2) prioritization of activities for the next 90 days; and (3) direction to staff to return with a finalized outreach calendar reflecting Committee input. SUMMARY The 2023–2031 Housing Element commits the City to a broad set of recurring outreach obligations — workshops, forums, resource events, and ongoing engagement — directed at very different audiences: homeowners, renters, employers, second-home owners, farmworker households, low-income and multilingual residents, and housing providers. At its April 20, 2026 meeting (Item 6.2), the Committee discussed consolidating these obligations into a coherent program, and at its May 18, 2026 meeting, Committee Member Di Cesare presented a four- track implementation framework for doing so. This report develops that framework into an executable program for the remainder of 2026 and calendar year 2027, updated to reflect work completed to date and current department resources. BACKGROUND The Housing Element assigns the Planning and Building Department more than a dozen recurring outreach actions, several with annual frequency requirements and one (A4.1-9) requiring a written action plan within three months of each workshop. Implementing each action as a separate, City-led event is neither realistic for a department of this size nor effective for the audiences involved. The four-track structure allows related actions to be grouped by audience, delivered through the right format and partner, and documented once for Annual Progress Report purposes. Each completed event will be reported under its corresponding Housing Element action items in Table D of the APR. ANALYSIS — THE FOUR TRACKS Track 1 — ADU & Homeowner Assistance Covers: A1.2-2(e) (ADU production monitoring and promotion), A5.1-1 (low-income homeowner assistance), A5.2-3 (Mills Act), A8.1-1 and A8.1-3 (energy and rehabilitation funding outreach). Page 9 of 29  Item #6.2. Status: substantially addressed for 2026. On June 11, 2026, the County of Napa, with participating jurisdictions including Calistoga, hosted a regional ADU outreach event at the Calistoga Community Center covering ADU development, permitting, and assistance resources. Remaining Track 1 work is materials-based rather than event-based: staff will maintain a bilingual set of ADU and homeowner-assistance flyers and handouts for distribution at future outreach tables and booths, the public counter, and the Housing Resources webpage, and will evaluate a second-iteration event with the County in 2027. Implementation Deadline: Exact dates to be discussed and determined. Track 2 — Workforce Housing & Employer Engagement (Missing Middle — Phase 2) Covers: A1.2-5 and A1.2-6 (second/vacation home long-term rental workshops and outreach events), A2.2-2 (developer funding outreach), A4.5-1 and A4.5-2 (cooperative housing and workforce housing forums). Status and approach: staff and advisory committee outreach to the Chamber of Commerce, the co-responsible entity identified in A1.2-5, has taken place and scheduling the outreach meeting with second homeowners is still currently in progress. The conversion of secondary and vacation homes to long-term workforce rentals faces some significant practical and feasibility constraints under current market conditions, and staff recommends satisfying the A1.2-5 annual requirement for 2026 through a focused virtual informational meeting presenting the opportunity and available resources to owners and employers, with outcomes and identified barriers documented in the event follow-up memo. Staff is recommending an analysis to determine the exact number of properties that may be eligible for workforce housing in secondary and vacation homes, as there are approximately 510 properties identified with mailing addresses listed outside of Calistoga, however the exact amount of these that are largely vacant secondary or vacation homes as opposed to rental or commercial properties is yet to be determined. A broader workforce housing engagement effort is expected to be delivered through the community outreach and engagement phase of the Missing Middle Housing Combining District Ordinance Amendment process. This can help avoid duplicating outreach on the same subject with the same audiences, and it can deliver engagement through a budgeted consultation scope. The Committee will receive the results of that outreach when the draft ordinance returns for review in 2027. Implementation Deadline: Exact dates to be discussed and determined. Track 3 — Fair Housing & Rental Assistance Covers: A2.2-3 (rental assistance workshops), A7.1-1 and A7.1-2 (fair housing and landlord- tenant education), A3.2-2 (mobile home park rent stabilization monitoring), and the quarterly Housing Resources webpage refresh (A4.1-5). Approach: the tenant-protection anchor for this track may be an update on the Mobile Home Park Rent Stabilization Ordinance if deemed necessary based on monitoring results. Staff is proposing a two-step model for rental assistance and fair housing: 1) invite the Napa Housing Authority, Fair Housing Napa Valley, and the UpValley Family Center to present available Page 10 of 29  Item #6.2. programs and services to the Committee (building staff and Committee familiarity with what can be offered); 2) co-host a public, partner-led resource event, with the partner organizations as the trusted messengers. A bilingual tenant-resources one-pager will be produced for the counter, booths, and the Housing Resources page. Staff requests Committee input on additional Track 3 priorities. Implementation Deadline: Exact dates to be discussed and determined. Track 4 — Community Needs & Targeted Outreach Covers: A4.1-9 (annual workshops for female, minority, and single-parent householders, with action plans within three months), A4.1-3 (homeless needs collaboration), A4.4-3 (accessibility retrofit partnerships), A4.5-3 (farmworker services coordination), and A5.1-1 (home repair assistance). The centerpiece of this track is the launch of the PLHA-funded Residential Rehabilitation and ADU Programs, administered by the City of Napa on Calistoga’s behalf under the 2022 delegation. The program comprises three components: a Housing Rehabilitation Grant Program funded from the City’s Measure D Fund, and a PLHA-funded Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program. The City of Napa is currently preparing the program and contract documents. Program outreach — bilingual materials, counter and booth distribution, and partner-network promotion — will move forward alongside adoption of the program documents, so that residents can access repair assistance when the programs open. With CDBG rehabilitation coordination currently on hold, the PLHA programs are the City’s primary near-term vehicle for delivering home repair assistance under A5.1-1 and progress toward the Housing Element’s rehabilitation objectives. Implementation Deadline: Exact dates to be discussed and determined. Page 11 of 29  Item #6.2. PROGRAM STANDARDS 1. Bilingual Access Minimum standard for all program events and materials: Spanish/English materials; interpretation at key events; simplified, accessible formats; and transcribed translation of event summaries and handouts. In addition, staff will research real-time translation display technology of the type currently in use by the Calistoga Joint Unified School District, and will report back on vendor options and cost. 2. Communications & Social Media The department does not have budgeted funds or dedicated staffing for a department-run social media outreach program, and sustained social media management is estimated to approximate a full-time staffing function. A dedicated housing social media program would require a future budget request and is not included in the current year’s work plan or the department’s fiscal year budget, however it may be presented for consideration to the City Council. 3. Partnerships Program events are co-hosted by default. Core partners: Napa Housing Authority / City of Napa Housing Division, Fair Housing Napa Valley, UpValley Family Center, Rebuilding Calistoga, the County of Napa, and worker and community organizations, with the Chamber of Commerce engaged for employer-facing activities as contact is established. 4. Planning and Follow-Up Requirements Each program event is planned against six elements — audience, format, partner, timing, staff lead, and expected output — and is followed within 30 days by a brief follow-up memo recording a summary of the event, barriers identified, recommended next steps, and the Housing Element action items credited. For A4.1-9 workshops, the follow-up memo is expanded into the required action plan within three months. Follow-up memos are compiled each January for the Annual Progress Report.

Context and Problem Item 6.2 outlines a broad set of Housing Element outreach actions requiring: ● workshops ● forums ● community meetings ● outreach events ● ongoing engagement (e.g., Farmers’ Market booth) These actions collectively target very different audiences, including: ● homeowners ● renters ● employers ● second-home owners ● farmworker communities ● low-income households ● multilingual populations ● childcare-related households ● developers and housing providers Core Issue This scope cannot be effectively implemented as a single outreach model. Core Opportunity Design a coherent outreach system that: ● reaches the right audiences Page 17 of 29  Item #6.2. ● uses appropriate formats ● leverages trusted partners ● produces actionable outcomes 2. Guiding Objective Move from: A list of outreach activities To: A structured, targeted, and implementation-oriented outreach program 3. Proposed Outreach Framework Organize outreach into 4 strategic tracks This structure simplifies planning, clarifies audiences, and improves execution. Track 1 — ADU & Homeowner Assistance Focus ● ADUs ● home rehabilitation programs ● Mills Act participation ● energy efficiency programs Target Audience ● homeowners ● low- and moderate-income homeowners Page 18 of 29  Item #6.2. Formats ● workshops ● technical assistance sessions ● resource guides ● drop-in events Anchor ● June ADU Outreach Event Track 2 — Workforce Housing & Employer Engagement Focus ● long-term rental opportunities ● second-home utilization ● employer participation in housing solutions ● cooperative housing models Target Audience ● employers (especially hospitality sector) ● second-home owners ● worker organizations Formats ● roundtables ● focused forums ● stakeholder meetings Track 3 — Fair Housing & Rental Assistance Focus ● tenant protections ● rental assistance programs ● fair housing education Page 19 of 29  Item #6.2. ● multilingual resource access Target Audience ● renters ● lower-income households ● multilingual residents Formats ● partner-led workshops ● resource distribution events ● community-based outreach Track 4 — Community Needs & Targeted Outreach Focus ● farmworker housing ● childcare-related housing needs ● underserved populations ● minority and single-parent households Target Audience ● specific community groups ● populations not typically engaged in City processes Formats ● small group meetings ● partner-hosted sessions ● listening sessions 4. Five Core Implementation Principles 1. Match Format to Audience Page 20 of 29  Item #6.2. Different groups require different engagement strategies. Implication: Not all outreach should be workshops. Use: ● roundtables ● booths ● partner meetings ● small-group discussions 2. Build Bilingual Access from the Start Language access is essential for meaningful participation. Minimum standard: ● Spanish/English materials ● interpretation at key events ● simplified, accessible formats 3. Use Trusted Community Partners Certain audiences are best reached through existing relationships. Potential partners: ● UpValley Family Center ● Fair Housing Napa Valley ● Rebuilding Calistoga ● worker/community organizations ● housing authorities Key approach: Move from City-led only → co-hosted outreach Page 21 of 29  Item #6.2. 4. Create a Simple Planning Structure Each outreach activity should include: Element Description Audience Who is being targeted Format Workshop, roundtable, booth, etc. Partner Co-host or supporting org Timing Approximate schedule Staff Lead Responsible staff member Output Expected outcome 5. Require Follow-Up for Every Event Outreach should lead to implementation. Minimum output: ● short summary memo ● key barriers identified ● recommended next steps 5. Implementation Approach Step 1 — Use Existing Anchors ● June ADU Outreach Event ● Farmers’ Market housing booth These should serve as: ● pilot efforts ● learning opportunities ● content distribution platforms Page 22 of 29  Item #6.2. Step 2 — Prioritize Early Actions Recommended first wave: 1. ADU outreach event (evaluate + iterate) 2. Farmers’ Market booth (ongoing presence) 3. One fair housing / rental assistance partner event 4. One employer/workforce housing roundtable 5. One targeted community-needs session Step 3 — Build Outreach Calendar Develop a working calendar using the 4-track structure. Each entry should include: ● track ● action item ● audience ● format ● partner ● date ● output 6. Key Planning Questions for Staff Structure ● Does the 4-track framework work? ● Should it be adjusted? Priorities ● Which audiences should be prioritized in the next 90 days? Page 23 of 29  Item #6.2. Partnerships ● Which organizations should be engaged first? Access ● What is the minimum standard for bilingual outreach? Execution ● What formats are most appropriate per audience? Follow-Up ● What is the standard output for each event? 7. Success Measures A successful outreach program should demonstrate: Participation ● Engagement from target audiences (not just general attendance) Accessibility ● Bilingual and culturally appropriate access Partnerships ● Active involvement of trusted organizations Implementation ● Clear outputs from events (not just attendance) Impact ● Evidence that outreach informs housing actions, programs, or policy Page 24 of 29  Item #6.2. 8. Practical Considerations Materials Develop: ● one-page handouts ● bilingual flyers ● resource sheets ● simple summaries ● reusable outreach materials Venues Not all outreach should occur in traditional settings.Consider: ● community centers ● schools ● partner locations ● outdoor/public events ● employer-hosted meetings Trust & Participation Participation depends on: ● who invites people ● language accessibility ● perceived usefulness ● whether follow-up occurs 9. Core Takeaway Page 25 of 29  Item #6.2. The goal is not necessarily to increase the number of outreach events. The goal is to design an outreach system that reaches the right people, in the right way, and produces actionable outcomes that support housing implementation. 10. Next Step Use this framework in the next meeting to: ● align on structure ● define priorities ● identify partners ● assign initial responsibilities ● begin building the 2026 outreach calendar Proposed Agenda for next meeting 1. Framing ● Confirm overall goals for 2026 outreach ● What does “success” look like by year-end? 2. Review Current Anchors ● June ADU event ● Farmers’ Market outreach ● Any other near-term commitments 3. Outreach Structure ● Does the 4-track framework make sense? ● Adjust or refine as needed 4. Audience & Format Alignment ● For each track: ○ Who is the target audience? Page 26 of 29  Item #6.2. ○ What outreach format fits best? 5. Partners & Access ● Which organizations should be engaged early? ● What should be the baseline for bilingual access? 6. Implementation & Calendar ● How to organize the outreach calendar ● Staff roles and ownership ● Prioritization for next 60–90 days 7. Follow-Up & Outputs ● What should each event produce? ● How to document and carry forward input 8. Next Steps ● Immediate actions ● Timeline for bringing updates back to the Committee Page 27 of 29 Page 28 of 29  Item #6.3.
