I am trying to regulate Rents in Napa County of its excesses in cost and low salary and I think you are the right ones, since I have contacted the supervisor Alfredo Pedro and Councilman Bernardo Narváez and they have not given any solution. This is affecting housing in various ways, in lowering students because they emigrate to cheaper places. I hope one of you can give me an interview. Thank you

Has the low income amount changed?
Trevor Hawkes
01:15:19
Angelica Chavez - Can you ask the question more specifically? I'm not 100% sure what you are asking.
angelica chavez
01:17:21
Has the state taking in consideration that cost of living has increased therefore has the low income amount changed
Trevor Hawkes
01:20:30

farmworkers and hospitality are leaving Napa as a place of employment due to housing. leading to more vineyard mechanization, and employer provided housing under H2A and other provisos. Restaurants and hotels are more challenged and not able to staff at pre covid levels.
Trevor Hawkes
01:31:56
Thank you for the comment Committee Member Gamble

A local preference ordinance can help the workforce get into both rental housing and ownership. This will also reduce the number of units that end up as second homes.
Trevor Hawkes
01:33:23
Thank you for the comment Committee Member Gallagher

that is website I have found this information….
Matt Kowta
01:34:40
For Joelle and others interested in a local employee preference ordinance - would this apply to all housing units constructed or just to assisted housing units (e.g., subsidized affordable units)?
Anne Cottrell
01:35:01
A few speakers have raised the question of "how to better track our progress" - are there e.g.s of goals from other jurisdictions that include this tracking focus as an actual goal of the element?
Joelle Gallagher
01:39:31
Kelllie Do you mean insurance on ADU? ADU's can be insured by homeowner who built/owns the ADU.
Keri Akemi-Hernandez
01:40:58
To Kellie Anderson's point and believe that we need to advocate for inclusive policed
Keri Akemi-Hernandez
01:41:30
*inclusive polices to be implemented into planning and zoning
Tom Gamble
01:43:28
Joelle: insurance availability is becoming a greater issue. as policies come up for renewal they are being non renewed. Insurers are pulling out of Napa County at an increasing rate regardless of Fire Severity area ranking. this will hamper all housing construction needing insurance.
Kellie Anderson
01:43:50
Trevor Matt please follow up with Fair Plan refual to provide insurance coverage to ADU in Napa County.
Tom Gamble
01:45:56
Fair Plan limits, regardless of ADUs, is inadequate on a long term basis.
Kellie Anderson
01:47:02
what do you consider a fire resconstruction policy?
Kellie Anderson
01:51:32
id like to comment on programs
Trevor Hawkes

Please raise your hand for comments at the end of this item.
Joelle Gallagher

Tom: Right. Has many implications for land use.
Kellie Anderson
01:55:56
my hand is raised
Joelle Gallagher
01:56:08
Matt, The ordinances I have seen refer to the rent or purchase of "affordable and workforce housing units which are supported or sponsored by the City/County of XXX" One also has an exception for "Former Resident Set Aside"
Matt Kowta
01:58:35
Thank you Joelle for the clarification.
Keri Akemi-Hernandez
02:03:20
I want to be sure that when we consider affordable housing to include below market rate housing for sale as apart of that program
Joelle Gallagher
02:04:36
Keri, this opportunity will be available in the Heritage Housing project on Old Sonoma Road (old HHS site). :)
