WEEK LY

message from mike Happy 2024, Vallejo! I hope you had a restful time over the Holidays, and now the New Year is in full swing. Please take a moment to look through the Vallejo Weekly and all the activities coming up for this month. We encourage you to participate with your friends and families! On January 13th, our City will host a Legacy Grove tree-planting event behind City Hall to commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr’s Birthday, and there will be a March celebration on January 15th. We are looking for volunteers and faith-based groups to help plant the trees on January 13th and to maintain/adopt the trees for years to come! You can read more details and register for this event here in the flyer in the Vallejo Weekly. We hope MLK weekend will be a time for our community to remember Dr. King’s call for equality for all people, regardless of race, and carry that thought throughout the year. Also, our City was recently recognized as a Top 40 Global City for its cultural diversity and economic opportunity. Congrats, Vallejo, and let’s make it a great year! Respectfully,

Val l ej o W ee kl y

VCUSD Alumni Feature: Former VCUSD Grad Gives Back to the City of Vallejo

Val l ej o W ee kl y

VALLEJO, Calif. - When graduates bid farewell to Vallejo City Unified School District, administrators and the community often encourage them to return and welcome them with open arms. Melissa Lintag Tigbao, an alumna, took this advice to heart, making a homecoming that's making waves in her hometown.

Her journey, starting as the daughter of Filipino immigrants in New York City, eventually led her family to Vallejo, where she spent most of her life. Tigbao walked the halls of Cooper Elementary and Vallejo Junior High School and graduated from Hogan High School. Her academic pursuits took her to the University of California, Davis, where she earned a civil engineering degree and became a licensed civil engineer. After stints in various Bay Area cities, Tigbao returned to Vallejo in 2018, joining as the assistant public works director/city engineer. In a remarkable four-year span, she ascended to become Vallejo's public works director, breaking ground as the city's first female and AsianAmerican in this role. "Every action we take in Public Works aims to enhance the safety, accessibility, and overall

livability of our community," Tigbao emphasized. "From roads and sidewalks to streetlights and traffic signals, we're responsible for maintaining and constructing what the community relies on daily. I lead a team of dedicated individuals committed to enhancing the quality of life for Vallejo's residents, businesses, employees, and commuters." Her return wasn't just a job opportunity—it evolved into a platform to make a lasting impact. "Joining the City of Vallejo was about proximity to my roots and giving back," she expressed. "But it turned out to mean much more. I value being a representative in a leadership position, especially for young women and minorities in the STEM field and local government." Residing in Vallejo, Tigbao's children have walked the same school corridors within VCUSD. Her bond with the city resonates deeply. "My pride in Vallejo is unwavering," she affirmed. "As a product of VCUSD, I've been fortunate to have incredible educators, coaches, and counselors who continue to influence me today. Watching my children flourish within the district, guided by inspiring educators, reinforces my belief that the best educational journey arises from a strong partnership among teachers, students, and parents." Tigbao's commitment to her community, alma mater, and the next generation echoes her profound connection to Vallejo.

BEFORE Vallejo Water: Keeping the Water Flowing During the Holidays

Val l ej o W ee kl y

Your holidays might have looked a little different without water: There would have been no hot apple cider simmering on the stove, the dishes would have been piling up in the sink, and the bathroom situation would have become very public, resembling one famous scene out of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

While we were all basking in the hearts and hearths of loved ones, the Vallejo Water Department staff worked against the destructive cold weather to ensure we could all enjoy the holidays. Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve, there were 14 water main breaks in Vallejo and Mare Island, many of which occurred after hours. Water Department staff made repairs quietly and without fanfare at all hours of the day and night through the holidays so customers and residents could enjoy their holidays with loved ones.

After “Water is a 24-7-365 business,” said Earl Robinson, Water Distribution Superintendent for Vallejo Water. “Pipes don’t care if Water Department staff are asleep or enjoying a family dinner on Thanksgiving Day. If there’s a break in a water main, we’ll fix it right away because our community depends on it.” Water main breaks are typical in winter months when the cold weather and ground movement are hard on pipes. Predicting main breaks is difficult, although special listening devices called perma nets can detect sounds from holes and splits in the pipes. Depending on things like the pipe size, location, and soil condition, repairs can take anywhere from two to 24 hours. If your area has a water main break, you may notice water in the street or experience low water pressure from your faucets. If you suspect a main break or leak, please contact the Vallejo Water Department’s dispatch line at 707-648-5235, and crews will be dispatched to investigate the issue.
