Victor- I think if you were privileged to conversations that existed from multiple parties you would probably have a different perspective but since you obviously lack that input I can only surmise that your intent is to diffuse what the results reflect from the recent poll of this weekend. I find i...

AmCan Newbie: I would happen to agree with you. Part of the problem is when the prior councils approved the home developments they insisted on adequate CC &R’s that would maintain the dignity of the subdivisions but failed to install a mechanism of enforcement. While all homebuyers receive and s...

Mr. Maguire, I commend your attention to a situation that existed in this city and that is the so-called “fuzzy math” problems. Thanks in large to former staff members. Our interim finance director attempted to correct some of the problems and finally supporting the purchase of new finance software ...

I always have to go through that "forgot your password" phase to post on here since I don't use it that much. So now that the process is over here are some replies to some of the postings. Mr. Rio- I spoke with Mr. Callison and he told me he left the room when the board elected to endorse ...

Mr. Rio- Yes education is important, but to house all of the kids that need a high school would be pretty significant. By the time you purchase the buildings it would be a tremendous expense that could be diverted to a more permanent and better use. Now is the time for a high school and we need to c...

A final request for this thread please don't taint the memory with other posts, let's keep this one as it is intended. Thank you

Captain Rich Collins is a firefighter with the American Canyon Fire District. Today as we discussed the ceremony and what it meant he told me he sent a letter to the editor of the Napa Register shortly after the September 11th. 2001 tragedies. I asked him to send it to me as I am not a subscriber an...

Dear Residents- Your presence is encouraged and greatly appreciated to attend the following ceremony: American Canyon Fire District and the City of American Canyon will conduct a ceremony in observance of the fifth anniversary of 9/11. It will take place on Monday, September 11, at the American Cany...

It is a shame that a candidate can't run on merit, experience, or passion for the job. Somebody who has taken the time to do the job correctly by working with staff prior to voting on Thursday evening agendas and clearly understanding the issues. I am proud of my record since elected. I am running o...

Here is an overview of why there were 3 meetings to create the new sign ordinance. Meeting 1) You discuss to create direction to the city attorney for a draft of how you want the ordinance to read. Meeting 2) You review it and possibly vote on it by the "first reading" only. However if the...

Just a bit of clarification-
I am only an independent decision-maker where I am acting alone. I in no way act independently when representing the council or the objectives expressed by the majority of my council.---just to be clear. I know how this forum reacts sometimes

Victor- I think you are being too hasty on your comments on not applying for the PCS Commission. I too am a registered "Independent." In that I am an independent thinker, independent decision-maker, and an independent opinion holder. If I "quit", decided not to renew, or for that...

Special Thanks from Maryanne and myself to the Chamber of Commerce for helping with the distribution of the pages. Also thanks for the great pictures and page your organization contributed it was very touching.

Dear Community- In case you didn't know local resident Maryann Young (Creative Memories consultant) was asked to put a memorial scrapbook together for Lorraine's family of all of her contributions to the city through the eyes of her fellow residents. A sign up opportunity was held at the 4th of July...

Ed West and rest of posters on this site: The only time I look here is when somebody calls because my name is mentioned like today. I am not getting on my soapbox mostly because I can’t find it at this hour. But what I will say is that I will not be blamed for how people feel in this community. No m...

Victor- I am not any of these people you are so critical of. In fact I couldn't even sign on because I forgot my initial password. I am concerned over your assumption that I am one of these folks. Sorry I am not. I can say what I need to with my own name. We don't need a fact-checker as the Post is ...
