Resignation from City Council. From the Office of the City Manager: On November 6, 2020, the City received the following email from Council Member Roos: Good evening Mayor Kott and Councilmembers,... The vote for the 2020 Election is complete and the Citizens have chosen who they want as representatives on their new City Council. Congratulations to the winners of this race. During the last 4 years, I have had the honor to represent the Citizens of Rio Vista both as Councilmember and as Vice-Mayor. During this time, the City tackled very complex issues, experienced a large growth spurt, dealt with some controversial subjects and in my opinion, made improvements in a few areas of the Government. I truly appreciate all the support I received during this campaign and the approx 2100 votes I received. I appreciate the opportunity to have represented the City of Rio Vista! With that said, please accept this notification of my resignation from the Rio Vista City Council effective today November 6, 2020 at 5pm. Thank You, Don Roos

The City of Rio Vista can confirm that a City employee tested positive for COVID-19. Local County and CDC guidance is being followed for exposure and facility decontamination. As a result, there will be a few days delay in regular business and the answering phones. We apologize to our Community for any inconvenience. We hope to return to our modified customer service levels later this week.

Why not make Measure O permanent? In the scientific survey prior to placing Measure O on the ballot in 2016, registered voters were asked if they would want to keep this sales tax in place, permanently. Three quarters (75%) of the respondents said NO.

Free Covid Testing and Flu Shots. Solano County Public Health will be offering two free Covid-19 testing and Flu shot clinics. Please see the attached flyers. THESE WILL BE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Rio Vista residents only please.

Questions on Measure O Why a sales tax and not some other funding mechanism? Most local taxes are paid by property owners; a sales tax is paid by everyone who shops in Rio Vista, whether they are property owners, renters, or visiting the City from a neighboring community or beyond. Therefore, a sales tax is far more equitable (not limited to property owners).... In other words, Measure O will generate money from visitors to the City when they purchase gas, eat at local restaurants, shop, etc. And people visiting Rio Vista or traveling through our community help pay for the impact of traffic, including highway accidents. These monies can be used to provide and enhance critical services being provided to Rio Vista residents through local government. See more

There has been quite a bit of work done on the Boat Launch Project! Cement for the walls and ramp have been poured and pilings have been pushed into place that will anchor the boat dock. The two cement pilings will be driven down by a special heavy-duty pile driver on Monday October 12th between 8:00am and 5:00pm. If you feel the earth shake or hear the rhythmic clanging, that is what you are experiencing. The pilings should go in fairly quickly we hope! The project will include a new and improved parking lot and should be completed sometime in January.
