No, the PRS Department is not being eliminated in the FY 2020/21 Budget. As Napa prepares for the August retirement of its current Parks & Recreation Director, John Coates, the City has decided to shift administrative duties to address the impending vacancy. The department will remain intact, with day to day operations continuing under the supervision of Recreation Manager Katrina Gregory, and Parks & Urban Forestry Manager Jeff Gittings. Following Coates’ retirement, general oversight of the Parks & Recreation Department will fall to Vin Smith, Director of Community Development.
