Greetings!
Back in 2012 when voters approved Measure T on the Napa County ballot, it seemed like forever before the revenues would be available and we could actually start improving our streets. Measure T, effective July 1, 2018, will bring the City of American Canyon more than a million dollars a year in revenue that can only be used to fix our local streets. What seemed a long time away is now almost here! Planning
for the first five years of projects is well underway so that we can hit the ground running. Want to hear more? We will discuss it with the City Council Tuesday evening. Check out the report
here for a preview.

Your City Council again meets next Tuesday, May 16th, at 6:30 PM at City Hall. As the meeting begins, the Council will celebrate Philippine Cultural month and Public Works Week with proclamations. The Council planned to consider a request from the developer of a townhouse project on the corner of American Canyon Road and Highway 29; however, that hearing will be postponed. The City Council will consider a draft implementation plan for using your Measure T sales tax funds to improve our streets.

Since our Last Update...
The City Council met last on May 2nd. During the meeting, the Council considered combining our current Open Space and Parks and Community Services Commissions into one group. After discussion, the Council declined to proceed with the merger. The Council also entered into an agreement with the AHI swim team to help them use the ACHS pool instead of the City pool during certain times of year.

Wall of Honor & Tree of Life
The City of American Canyon honors our active military personnel with a Wall of Honor. The Wall of Honor is located adjacent to the City Council Chambers at City Hall and displays pictures and information about American Canyon residents, their family or loved ones currently service in the Armed Forces.
The American Canyon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 11099 developed the Tree of Life to remember the lives of American Canyon's deceased veterans. The name, service branch, and dates of service are imprinted on brass leaves and affixed to the "Tree of Life" on the wall outside of the City Council Chambers at City Hall.
If you have questions or would like more information about the Wall of Honor or the Tree of Life, contact Suellen Johnston at (707) 647-5337 or by
email.
