Hello,
Thank you, American Canyon High School, for allowing me to speak to the senior class today. Ahhhh, to be almost 18 again — such a fun age. What an insightful and engaging group!
But, they were a little shocked to learn that less than 10% of American Canyon voters have cast their ballots so far. In case you missed it: Election Day is next Tuesday, March 5. That’s right — of the more than 13,000 registered voters in American Canyon, less than 1,000 have turned in their ballots so far. That would be an “F” grade in anyone’s class. Don’t delay — make your voice heard.
This election has two (2) important local races — who should represent American Canyon in Napa County and in Sacramento? Listen to the voices you trust, but do your own research. And most importantly, cast your ballot before 8 PM on Election Day (March 5). For more information, visit the Napa County Election webpage.
In other news, if you were unable to attend our State of the City presentation at the Adult Activity Center last week, don’t worry. Our digital presentation is streaming on American Canyon’s YouTube channel. Do me a favor, and hit the “like” button to become a subscriber. You can also register for the American Canyon Chamber of Commerce Luncheon on March 12 at the Doubletree American Canyon.
Lastly, avoid unnecessary travel this weekend. If you see downed wires or a hazardous situation, call 911 immediately. All other problems, such as clogged storm drains, downed trees, or power lines, may be reported by calling (707) 995-8674. Stay safe and dry.
Take care,
Jason B. Holley
City Manager

Melvin Road Construction Update
American Canyon’s storm drain system consists of curbs and gutters that transport stormwater off our roadways and properties. This water flows into inlets and eventually reaches the wetlands. Due to heavy winter rain, Napa Cove Apartments and Mid-City Nursery are both facing significant water discharge into the Melvin Road storm drain system. That water is then traveling along the curb and gutter system to the inlets on James Road, where it meets the storm drain pipe system.
American Canyon is currently in design for the Melvin Road Sidewalk and Drainage Project, which will provide storm drain infrastructure to capture the stormwater on Melvin Road. This project will eliminate the need for the water to travel far to reach the storm drain inlet. Construction for the project is anticipated to start this summer. For more information, visit American Canyon’s Construction Updates page.
