BACKGROUND
The Napa Valley Tourism Improvement District (NVTID) was established by the Napa County Board of Supervisors on June 15, 2010. The NVTID was formed under the provisions of the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (Streets and Highways Code Section 366et seq., hereafter "94 Act") to promote tourism throughout Napa County. The Unincorporated Napa Valley Tourism Governing Committee is charged with overseeing the share of the assessment funds generated and administered in the unincorporated areas of the County in accordance with the Governing Policy approved by the Governing Committee.
On July 23, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved a grant agreement with the Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition to facilitate this funding for five fiscal years, through Fiscal Year 2023-2024, to support the design, engineering and construction of the ten needed sections of the Napa Valley Vine Trail.
On July 9th, 2024, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 200063B with Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition to provide $55,000 in funding for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 to continue its efforts to complete the Vine Trail.
Today, the efforts to complete the Vine Trail are ongoing. Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 200063B with Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition will continue to extend the agreement term through June 30, 2026, with four additional automatic one-year extensions for a total of five years and provide $55,000 in funding to continue its efforts to complete construction of the Vine Trail, budgeted in the Unincorporated Napa Valley Tourism Improvement District Fund 2070.
Requested Action: Approve and authorize Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 200063B with Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition to extend the agreement term through June 30, 2026, with four additional automatic one-year extensions for a total of five years.
