VALLEJO WEEKLY

ANDREW'S ANNOUNCEMENTS

A MESSAGE FROM THE CITY MANAGER

Hello Vallejo,

I hope that you are having a good week and have some fun and safe plans for Labor Day weekend. A heads up, you’ll see the flyer in this edition of the Weekly about a DUI checkpoint that will take place this weekend. Drive responsibly and safely and avoid fines and penalties!

I’d like to thank community members for inviting me to attend two great events last weekend. On Saturday morning, I was fortunate to attend a pastors’ panel discussion of the various things that religious organizations are doing to help the community. I also received valuable input on what the City should focus on to move the community forward. On Saturday evening, I attended the Vallejo Sister City Association’s International Dinner and Auction. I enjoyed meeting many residents at both events and having lively conversations about the community with all of you.

This Saturday, please come visit our City table at the Farmers’ Market between 9 am and 2 pm. City staff will provide the latest information on City projects and answer questions you may have about different issues.

I want to share some good news about our efforts to fill vacant City positions. The City’s Code Enforcement team has a total of seven code enforcement Officer positions budgeted, plus a division manager and appropriate support staff.  Of those seven Officer positions, four are currently filled. We are hiring an additional officer that is expected to start mid-September and will open a recruitment next week to fill the remaining vacant positions, which we expect will be done by the end of this year. We are also making good progress filling other positions in the Planning and Development Services Department, which, in addition to helping businesses and residents with code enforcement, also provides planning and building permits. Filling the vacancies will improve bandwidth and timelines for these services. I’ll be sure to continue to update you on new recruitment efforts, and please check this Weekly for our new and exciting job postings.

Have a great long weekend.

With appreciation,

Meet us at the market

THIS SATURDAY - 8:30 AM TO 2:30 PM

Join us at the corner of Georgia and Marin Streets this Saturday.

Come and grab some Vallejo swag, sign up to receive City communications, and ask Vallejo staff questions on AUG 31, 2024.

UPCOMING STREET INSPECTIONS

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) requires all cities to analyze their street pavement conditions every three years.  MTC provides 80% of the funding for this activity.  The City needs an updated analysis by 2025 and is starting that work now.

The City was assigned NCE as our consultant team to perform this work.  Their initial effort is to walk every street in the city, examine and evaluate the pavement condition and assign Pavement Condition Index (PCI) values.  PCI is a numerical rating 0-100 that indicates the overall condition of a road’s pavement based on this visual survey of the number and types of distresses in the pavement, such as spalling, rutting, scaling, and cracking. This street inspection is conducted by trained technicians who’s work is quality controlled.

Following NCE’s inspection, the information will be loaded into the City’s StreetSaver Database which is hosted at MTC for all Bay Area jurisdictions.  StreetSaver Software is then used to analyze the data and provides projections of when streets should receive treatments to improve pavement conditions.  The City will be using this information in the coming years to plan out our annual pavement improvement projects funded with both Gas Tax revenue and Measure P funding.

NCE’s street inspections will start the week of September 9th and will continue for about 10 weeks.  You may see small teams of NCE staff in yellow vests on your street and they are simply inspecting the pavement to help the city improve the condition of streets across Vallejo in the future.

Vallejo Police to Hold DUI Checkpoint on September 2 to Enhance Road Safety

The Vallejo Police Department (VPD) will hold a DUI Checkpoint on September 2, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 12:00 AM at an undisclosed location within the City.

DUI checkpoint locations are determined based on data showing incidents of impaired drivingrelated crashes. The primary purpose of DUI checkpoints are to promote public safety by taking suspected impaired drivers off the road.

The Vallejo Police Department (VPD) will hold a DUI Checkpoint on September 2, 2024, from 6:00 PM to

“Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” Officer James Beglin said. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improve traffic safety.”

The Vallejo Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.

Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.

Pets of the week

BISHOP

Domestic Mediumhair, Male, Young

Meet Bishop! This 3-month-old cutie patootie is full of energy and sweetness. Bishop is a playful guy who loves to romp around and play games with his fellow kitten friends. His affectionate nature and boundless curiosity make him the ultimate companion for anyone ready to embrace the joy and excitement of a lively kitten! If you're looking to add a dash of fun and love to your life, Bishop is your perfect match! To set up a meet and greet with Bishop, visit our Adoption Page at HSNB.org and fill out a Cat Adoption Interest Application

LINDSEY

American Pit Bull Terrier, Female, Adult

This pouty-lipped beauty is Lindsey! At 59 pounds, she's the perfect size to take along on any adventure or for cuddles on the couch. She loves playing with dogs her size or larger and has excelled at doggy daycare in the "playful group". She walks well on a leash and likes to visit her local dog-friendly brewpub, but her favorite thing to do is romp with other dogs at the beach! This 3-year-old girl is a quick learner, house-trained, and knows many commands. She'd love to find her forever home with another dog, but adults and kids are welcome. She's still somewhat shy with new people and sometimes reactive to new things (especially if they're moving fast), but with common training techniques she continues to improve. Regular exercise, training, and companionship are important to her routine, so she would fit best with active and engaged owners. She's super sweet, eager to please, and ready for love! To meet Lindsey, visit our Adoption Page at HSNB.org and fill out a Dog Adoption Interest Application.

For a list of our available cats and dogs, go to HSNB.org and click the Adoptions tab. We welcome potential adopters to browse available animals on our website and if interested, download an application. Email cat applications to catadoptions@hsnb.org and dog applications to adoptions@hsnb.org. Pets are available at the time of article submission. We cannot guarantee they will be available upon publication. Humane Society of the North Bay is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. We are located at 1121 Sonoma Blvd., Vallejo. We are open daily by appointment, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We are actively seeking fosters for our pets in need, and we are always seeking donations to help us do the life-saving work we do.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS SEEKS COMMUNITY’S

HELP IDENTIFYING CENTENARIANS FOR RECOGNITION CEREMONY

SOLANO COUNTY – The Solano County Board of Supervisors needs the community’s help in identifying centenarians living in our community for recognition at an upcoming Board of Supervisors meeting later this fall as part of the 17th annual centenarian commemoration celebration.

For the past 16 years, the Solano County Board of Supervisors has recognized and honored centenarians by hosting a celebration for them during a Board of Supervisors meeting. The commemoration serves to capture and share the stories of some of Solano County’s oldest residents, while bringing attention to some of the issues facing the senior population.

This year, as part of the commemoration event, the Board will receive a video presentation of Solano County’s Centenarians, sharing stories from their amazing lives. The Board has hired a professional videographer who will come to your home (or place of your choosing) to conduct the video interview Information collected at the interviews will also be included as part of a commemorative yearbook, distributed to all Centenarians shortly after the commemoration event. Centenarians who wish not to conduct an interview are still encouraged to submit information, including a biography and photographs to help tell their life story.

To date the Board has honored more than 225 centenarians in Solano County. Two centenarians reached super-centenarian status, including Marie West in 2011 and Reta Wills in 2021. Supercentenarians are those individuals who have reached the age of 110 years or older, which only occurs at a rate of about 1 in 7 million people.

According to the Boston University School of Medicine, 2022 New England Centenarian Study, out of a population of 336.9 million people, there were approximately 89,739 centenarians living in the United States, or a prevalence of 0.27 percent of the total population

The prevalence of centenarians living in the United States has been increasing over time and nearly doubled in the past 20 years. In addition to genetics, physical activity and social support, scientists liken our ability to prevent and treat diseases like cancer, pneumonia and stroke to be a strong indicator this trend will likely continue.

CONTACTING THE COUNTY ABOUT CENTENARIANS

If you know of a centenarian, please email Centenarian@SolanoCounty.com and/or call (707) 784-3004 by or before September 4, 2023.

Please relay the following information over the phone or in an email to the Supervisor, including (1) name, (2) address, (3) phone number, (4) and best contact email address.

PAYMENT PLANS ARE AVAILABLE!

Do you have unpaid, overdue tolls for Bay Area Express Lanes or bridges? Bay Area FasTrak is making it easier to pay, with payment plans for qualifying, low-income drivers to help you pay off your balance over time. Need help? Just ask.
