Well thanks for the Kudo's Paul, but I won't be running for city council anytime soon. "I have pressing committments that would not allow me to always attend meetings." If and when I do decide to run, I wouldn't want anything from interfering with my ability to give a 110% to the job. When...

Unfortunately, it only becomes a matter of record. Until we get a City Manager in who actual gets something accomplished we will continue to see the decline in our parks and roads.

What a great idea. My neighbor who is under 30 is a great guy. About a year ago he rented out his house to an older couple. Because they are disabled he comes twice a month and does maintenance to their yard and while he is at it, he takes care of the neighbor next doors lawn. Her husband left for I...

I am not sure if he was at the meeting, but in today's herald there is a follow-up story which is probably one of the best articles I have seen him write about American Canyon. The actual truth. Also for anyone wanting to get caught up on city council meetings, you can go to the city offices (where ...

Why do these people need to be replaced? If they have done such a terrible job why is this city such a desirable place to live? What do any of you feel there are doing wrong? just asking.... American Canyon is such a desirable place to live because it is centerally located. 45 mins to the city by f...

Ms bennet actually returned from her ailing son's bed to deal with a very ill husband. Shame on you for judging. She ran and didn't make the council. So what! Does that mean she's obligated to attend every meeting until the end of time? Some people put value in family life above the shameless polit...

Alright then, I guess you took business 101. There approximately 14K Residents in American Canyon. Of those 6K are over the age of 18 Supercenters rely on 5k visits a day avg. sale being $100+ per visit. Hmmm? Mathematically the supercenter would be losing money just on Pay roll alone. Good thing yo...

My2cents -- It is quite evident by your comment that you have been here from sometime. So quit acting like so niave. You should know by now that Cindy Coffey is the only Council Member who actually takes notes. It is something people should do, especially for reference later. The previous city counc...

The city manager, past and present council, planning depts are doing a great job. Am I happy about the traffic? No, but from what I'm told-it's more of a county problem. If you just moved to the area how would you know about past present city council? And you definitely wouldn't know what kind of j...

Where to start? As a christian and person who follows their religion I find Pastor Curry extemely offensive. I wish he would remove the title Pastor from the front of his name, because Curry is no longer acting like a Pastor. Instead he is acting like the Pharisee's who cast judgements against Jesus...

This is exactly the type of negative feedback that I am encountering since I have arrived in town. You may think alliances with your family members is fine (you brought it up). I think it's sick that you have to stoop to such a low level. Maybe you SHOULD move out of town! If you don't like the pap...

Anyways the person who appointted herself to lead up the committee, really has bumbled every fundraiser and has been asked to step down off committee's because of her lack of following through. People are angry, because she put herself in several positions to promote her business not because she car...

Do you meet here in American Canyon?

I have moved to Vintage Ranch and have just recently been informed that a Home Owner's Association is being implemented. I was not informed of this when I purchased my home. However, I am willing to support it and see that the City Council recognizes it as well. Prior to this subdivision being buil...

Well when you receive the Napa Solano Post in your mail box it will show you a monthly calendar and has may listing for civic groups in American Canyon. It will also show you place to eat, get your body worked over, have your new home inspected and many other businesses here in American Canyon.

Whether I agree or disagree I have respect for my fellow neighbors. We all want to see our community be the greatest. I have a great idea. Why doesn't each community get a couple of people to represent their subdivision to the City Council requesting what they want and give their thoughts on how to ...

The Napa Solano Post is our only community paper. I enjoy the articles from our local people. One thing that is never mentioned is our seniors. Our Seniors they have pages dedicated to their needs. I find it also helpful in guiding my aging parents to protect themselves financial and physically. Hop...

It is a good thing you are checking your facts. No we will not be able to replace Leon, Andersen or Shaver until next year. We definitly need new blood in the City Council. People who are not business as usual. Professional people who have experience and education in finance, planning, law etc. Peop...

Yes Paul, Wal-Mart was on record in From the Napa Register Saturday, June 26, 2004, Wal-Mart spokeswoman Amy Hill is quoted as saying "Hill said there are no plans to shut down either store if the Supercenter is built." and went onto say "We don't see a lot of impact for either store,...

Saying the apartments there are going to turn into section 8 is like saying that La Vigne is going to turn into the Crest. Sorry guest I guess you don't know that the 216 apartments is part of our great land deal with Napa. We fill the 394 low-income housing needs because nobody in Napa wanted low-...

The purpose of my topic was to talk about the things that are good in American Canyon. We have enough topics on moaning and begrudging.

Well you could say several things about American Canyon these days. But the one thing I want to share is why I love American Canyon. 1. The people- The community is so diverse- ethnically, ages, and financially. I think American Canyon is truly a slice of Americana. I believe most people are working...

Mark Joseph was hired as the finance director then was supposed to be the interim City Manager until the city council hired one. Once again the City Council didn't do their job, now we are stuck with a loose cannon with high wages to boot.

Anyone having complaints, comments or kudos about the Fourth of July Celebrations and/or parade. Come Thursday at 7:30 pm to logde your complaint with the city council. This is the time to voice your thoughts and determine how your next year Fourth of July dollars will be spent.

Well the Green Party guy sure does have a lot of time on his hands. Unfortunately I don't think there is any re-educating this man. He is too far into the conspiracy theory and you hurt my feelings by saying that. People have to understand loyalty to ones country and fellow man before he can underst...

The proposed walmart will have 3 restaurants, Hair Salon, Floral Shop, Bakery, Deli, Nursery, Automotive Repair Shop, Tires, Clothing, Furniture, housewares, and grocery store. That is why they call it one stop shopping.

I can't believe the 4th of july is a week away and we still haven't seen any signs. No promotions. Are we still having a 4th of july??? I know we will have the fireworks because they have already been paid for by the city, but what about everything else??

Wow Mind ur Own Biz. Do you really think our judges are such ignoramouses that they would render a decision in less than 24 hours. Just a simply stay took 10 days. The judge could take up to 3 weeks to render a decision. The judge has had 2 weeks to review each parties brief, they will hear the case...

I thought they approving the zone change from restaurant to office??? That was my understanding. Maybe Re/Max which already has a location in Canyon plaza I believe is purchasing the site in which they will rent out the other offices. Any councilmember out there willing to clear this up?

The Couch family who owns the paintball jungle. The city took part of their land and now the couch family has had a problem with the water sewage plant backing up on their land. The city says the couch's have to pay to have it cleaned up. Go figure, 1st they take the mans land, then mess up the land...

Home Depot will not be building a 2nd location in Vallejo. They also are closing out all of their Home Expo locations because they are not profiting. They are looking for another area for their San Rafael Location because the building is sinking. From what I understand they are in a No Growth mode. ...

American Canyon was the last placed I looked in the Bay Area when I was looking for housing and it offered what I wanted. Not to much traffic, family environment and semi-country setting. I grew-up in the farm lands as a small child, and later my family moved to the urban areas. My favorite times wa...

We just received 72K for parks & recs. Is all of this going to the Veterans Memorial??? If we had access to the river we could generate money this way for recreational use. This could support Parks & Recs. Especially if they put in a KOA campsite.

Wow talk about taking a trip down memory lane. You must be related to my husband. He is always buying music.

I was at the city council meeting. This guy is a moron. There is no posibility of reformating his brain. I think Luporini said it best. "How can you come in here after we just lost one of our own (ref. phillip west). No we will not let this man die in vain."

mindingcitybiz

Don't believe the lies. The walmart building is owned by Big Lots and soon as walmart is out Big Lots is in. My group called Home Depot and they stated they are in a no growth mode in fact they are closing down their Expos stores. It is just propagand because the court date is coming soon.

When I was attending Walmart meetings and spoke to MJ several times he seemed concerned. But then I started watching him with everyone he spoke with MJ acted the same way. That I realized he was full of beans........

Sorry Napa Dude, but as you should know by now our constitution was founded on Judeo Christian Values, you know the 10 commandments. But have no fear the ACLU & Amensty International has mandated the Kuran is the Holy book now and our soldiers should pay for it.... So much for separation of chur...

Why doesn't the city be billed directly? They should issue cell phones, set-up internet connections and give $100 gas cards a month to the council members? Also why does the council member have to pay for an event or meeting out of their pocket first and then be reimbursed by the city? Shouldn't the...

mindingcitybiz

Getting the facts would mean you would have to have an open mind being able to look at all the information and base your judgement on that. Too bad our city council & planners didn't do all the research before they got us into this mess.

mindingcitybiz

Are you kidding??? This is such a rag.

Hey AM06 you have to be joking right? Who is fighting? People have to talk things out some times your able to come to an understanding and sometimes you need a referee.

I am extremely upset. How can MJ all of a sudden be worried about money. The man just took his pay increase last year with no problems. And the year before and the year before.

First I must correct you, then I will give my two cents. It is not written anywhere in the US Constitution, nor in the Amendents or the Bill of Rights anything regarding the separation of church & state. That was a comment made in the writings of Thomas Jefferson. What is written is the governme...

This man just makes up stories as he goes along and the editor for some reason allows him to print it. Remember Scott used to write for the Echo. Back then he at least was more pro-community. Now all his articles are against anyone who was is on the Anti-Walmart side. Now talk about a slanted paper....

Leon is a nice person, but I agree that he is just using AC as a stepping stone. I don't forsee him going on after this election. He has just never bonded to the community. We need fresh young blood, people who are energized and according to one of the city council meetings he has only turned in las...

mindingcitybiz

It is ludercrious that we don't have a high school. We need one now. The City Council needs to address more of the infrastructure for AC before building more homes. Yes it does cost money to build, but we already have the land and we could start with just the 9th grade and some portable buildings. G...
