Hello,

The City of American Canyon is honored to recognize February as Black History Month. Together, we celebrate the contributions and achievements of the Black community, and we recognize the ongoing fight for justice and equality. Join us in uplifting the voices and stories of those who have shaped our city and nation.

Next Tuesday, February 7, the City Council will adopt a proclamation acknowledging Black History Month and hear from local leader Brenda Knight about plans for the Juneteenth celebration this year. The Council will also consider additional funding for a new Skatepark and upgrades to the former Napa Junction School. We would like to hear from you on these matters; this is your chance to voice your suggestions and input, helping us enhance the parks and recreational experiences here in American Canyon. Tune in at 6:30 PM to learn more and share your perspectives.

This past Tuesday, the Council approved our latest “Housing Element." This important planning tool outlines new housing opportunities for future residents. You can learn more about this plan at AmCan2040.org and obtain information about all of the new development activity here.

Last night, staff hosted a Traffic Safety Workshop at the Boys and Girls Club.  Approximately 24 community members learned about the various plans the City is working on to improve safety for all modes of transportation in the community. Topics included recently completed projects, upcoming projects, traffic incidents and enforcement updates, and the need for collaboration with all community members to take the "We ?? Safe Streets" Pledge and assimilate the actions into their daily lives.

Next Thursday the Parks and Community Services Commission will consider revision to the fees we charge for recreation programs, aquatics programs and facility rental.  Tune in at 6:30p to learn more and share your perspectives.

Lastly, tomorrow is the first Community Cats class. It is a free class, but please register here.

Take care,

Jason B. Holley
City Manager

PG&E Electric Customers Can Apply for a New Rebate of up to $4,000

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) recently announced the launch of its Pre-Owned Electric Vehicle (EV) Rebate Program, providing qualified residential customers up to $4,000 when purchasing or leasing a pre-owned EV. The program aims to distribute more than $78 million to promote the adoption of EVs and make EV ownership more affordable for all customers.

Current PG&E electric customers may qualify to receive a $1,000 or $4,000 rebate, based on household income, when purchasing or leasing an eligible pre-owned all-electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid EV. To take advantage of the offer, interested customers must successfully submit a rebate application within 180 days of the date of purchase or lease.
