Mr. Woodside reviewed the project at length, discussing project team and the past interactions with City Council, the public, and Parks Recreation and Tree Advisory Committee. He reviewed existing conditions, opportunities, program development, and plan alternatives. Brief City Council comments and questions ensued. Susan Rushinghart, resident, read a letter into the record that she had submitted previously, which detailed various concerns. (See supplemental reports and communications.) D Rowser, resident, asked why a community garden needed to utilize such a large space and questioned the cost. Francie Winnen, resident, read a letter into the record that she had submitted previously regarding providing sufficient areas for families that live within walking distance of the park. (See supplemental reports and communications.) Rachel Clark, resident, brought up several concerns and finished reading the letter submitted by Susan Rushinghart.

CITY OF NAPA Page 8 Printed on 11/15/2018 CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - Final October 16, 2018 Steven Kappler, resident, stated he and his wife had questions regarding the community sponsored garden, and suggested a phased approach to the project would be a hardship to the neighbors. Mr. Woodside responded to the various questions posed by the public. Parks and Recreation Director Coates clarified the difference between a community garden and demonstration garden. Mr. Woodside continued his response to the questions posed by the audience. City Council comments and questions ensued. In response to a question by Mayor Techel, Director Coates stated the Community Garden must be appropriately managed and that partnerships were the best model. The City could act as the landlord of the Garden, using a consortium of gardeners to manage the space. He added that to date, there had been no response from any group who had the capacity to manage a Community Garden. Councilmember Sedgley provided names of groups that he thought may be interested in a community garden, stated the Phase 2 parking would be a significant benefit to the Little League, and stated he tended to agree that the project should be completed in its entirety when funding was secured. Director Coates stated the City was currently negotiating a five-year agreement with the Little League, which would take issues such as parking benefits into consideration. Councilmember Sedgley stated the old milking barn was historical and should be preserved. He suggested the bathroom should be located closer to the play area and stated that Sierra Avenue should be connected to Garfield Lane. Vice Mayor Mott also suggested re-purposing the milking barn as a component of the project, agreed the restroom should be next to playground, and suggested the play area be made to be a sufficient size, and that timed parking could be used on the street on the Sierra Extension. He stated he was struggling with the need for a community garden without more public interest in the project. Mayor Techel stated at one time the Council had heard that there was a great need for a community garden, but she agreed there did not appear to CITY OF NAPA Page 9 Printed on 11/15/2018 CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - Final October 16, 2018 be support for it at this time. Councilmember Gentry stated Cindy Watter was going to speak in favor of community garden but had to leave the meeting. Councilmember Gentry asked whether Director Coates would provide cost estimates; he explained he would respond to that in his closing remarks. Councilmember Krider stated the play area should be near the bathrooms. He also expressed concerns about the Community Garden. He stated he would also like to see the improvements built as a whole and not a phased approach. Further discussion ensued. Mayor Techel stated until negotiations were completed, the Council would need to understand whether the Garden would be viable and understand the agreement that would be negotiated with the Little League. She stated she felt the playground and the trails were an important aspect of the project. Director Coates stated this has been a process that had included many stakeholders; the challenge was to consider how to take the visions and make them a reality. He discussed current and planned projects. He stated there were possibilities on creating new revenue to invest in park systems; policy direction would be needed and suggested engaging Council early next year during budget discussions to discuss issues and policy direction. A motion was made by Councilmember Gentry, seconded by Vice Mayor Mott, to accept the Garfield Park Concept Master Plan with the relocation of the playground. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 5- Gentry, Krider, Sedgley, Mott, and Techel 14. COMMENTS BY COUNCIL OR CITY MANAGER: Councilmember Sedgley commented on various projects with potential impacts on the City's watershed and indicated he felt the work with the County on the issue of the water needed to be addressed at this time. Mayor Techel suggested that she and Councilmember Sedgley have a two-by-two discussion with County Supervisors about the subject. Councilmember Gentry asked the City Manager for a future Council update on homelessness, particularly with the cold and rainy weather quickly approaching. 15. ADJOURNMENT: 8:23 P.M.
