Greetings!
This week a very special celebration was held to thank and acknowledge our first responders and our community, who graciously opened their hearts to our neighbors during the recent fires. The City and the Fire District were honored to receive, on behalf of our community, proclamations from the Napa County Board of Supervisors recognizing the contributions made to our county. Thank you, again, to all of you who keep the heart of American Canyon full with your kindness and generosity.
In the spirit of celebration and the holidays right around the corner, it's a great time to sign up for our
Annual Home Decorating Contest. The Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony will kick off with a Parade of Lights, if you're interested in being in the parade click
here. We'll talk more about the Magic of the Season activities in our next update.
Also, I need your help with the a short survey below to assist Congressman Mike Thompson and the City Council in getting American Canyon a new post office.

Does American Canyon Need a New Post Office?
Please take this
short survey! The City Council and Congressman Mike Thompson's Office are working to convince the United States Postal Service that American Canyon deserves a bigger and better Post Office. On December 5th the American Canyon City Council will adopt a Resolution to send Federal and Regional USPS Officials and survey data will help bolster our request. Please take a few minutes to answer this very
short survey (only 6 questions!).
Congressman Thompson sent
this letter to the USPS in October, 2017. Hopefully, it will help too!
If you have questions or want additional information, please contact Deanna Parness by
email or call (707) 647-5305.

Vehicle Theft Prevention and
Holiday Safety Tips

Street Sweeping
Recology operates mechanical street sweepers, which are designed to pick up trash and debris, rather than fully washing a street. They pick up larger pieces of debris and spray small amounts of water for dust control purposes. Streets are swept every other week the day after your regular garbage service day. Click
here for the schedule. To accommodate street sweeper vehicles please
move your vehicles off the street by 6 AM on your service day. If you have a
tree on your property make sure its lowest
branches are at least 14' off the street.

Clarke Ranch Master Plan
The City Council approved the Clark Ranch Master Plan at their November 7th meeting. Here it is, the final plan:
|

Community input was instrumental in getting to this point. We are so grateful and excited to see Clarke Ranch’s future in our community. From here, the City will apply for grants to fund the next steps of the project, design and construction. We anticipate this will take a few years. We are hopeful to see initial phases of the Clarke Ranch Master Plan implemented beginning next year. Stay tuned to our City Manager’s Friday Update to hear the updates on this project.

Treats? Did you say treats??? I LOVE treats! My name is Rex and I'm looking for new place to call home, a home preferably with a lot of treats! I'm an active boy with a good amount of energy so I'd love an active family that will take me out for daily walks. I'm a cuddle bug too. I prefer to have you all to myself so no other dogs, please.
