After 15-16 weeks of order and delivery time, they should be installed by fall. The generators will be owned by the city and leased to the park. If at any time the park no longer needs them, if for example PG&E supplies backup power to the park, the city may relocate the generators, said City Manager Mike Kirn. Park owners have agreed to provide $68,700 in capital funding and to operate and maintain the generators through a nominal increase in the parkâs private utility rates. During previous PSPS events, PG&E has provided backup generators that power the city east of the Napa River. That scenario has left residents and businesses on the west side â including Rancho â without power during the outages.
CALISTOGA â To honor an immigrant from Germany, a nurse during WWII, and founder of Calistogaâs Roman Spa Hot Springs, the city of Calistoga proclaimed Gena Quast Day in honor of her 100th birthday and many contributions to the community. âWhereas Gena has made significant contributions within the City of Calistoga, for her support of our local culture and economy, and still resides in Calistoga and continues to be engaged with her family and friends,â the city proclamation reads for Jan. 8. Mayor Chris Canning added, âAn enormous thank you from the City of Calistoga. Clearly what you and your husband Max founded here is part of the fabric and is an iconic institution of Calistoga, and certainly over the decades has drawn people here. Thank you for that hard work.â
