- Downtown Vision and Policy Plan Community Survey - The City is gathering input from the Winters community relating to the Downtown Vision and Policy Plan. We would like to hear from you on several topics involving the future of Downtown Winters, including parking, outdoor gathering/dining, weekend street closures, etc. There is an English version and Spanish version of the community survey. Please take the survey and help us spread the word! The Community Survey will be open until January 9, 2023. For more information, check out our Downtown Vision and Policy Plan webpage here.

- Last week the City issued a temporary certificate of occupancy clearing the Fairfield Inn to open; however, they are still working on some items and may not have opened yet. Keep referring those family and friends, though, as they should open any day!
- City Hall will close for the holidays, beginning Friday, December 23 – Monday, January 2nd. Please plan accordingly. Building inspections must be coordinated in advance by emailing building.division@cityofwinters.org or (530) 794-6708.
Upcoming Council Meeting
Next Tuesday, December 13, the City Council will reorganize as the new council is seated. This will be the last meeting of 2022. The new Council will have its first meeting on January 10, 2023 (a special meeting since the January 3rd meeting is cancelled due to the holiday closure).
Woot Woot!
The Fire Department’s Gift for Kids program will support over 90 needy families in Winters this holiday season. A huge heartfelt thank you to the Fire Department staff and volunteers, their families and everyone who contributed funds and toys to help bring some added cheer to local families this holiday season. The Fire Department runs the program with the help of their own families to wrap all the gifts and coordinate with the families. One of the outstanding traits of the Winters community is how much and how often the people step up to support others.
