The St. Helena City Council on Tuesday appointed Rosaura Segura and Marika Rothfeld to two vacant seats on the Planning Commission.
Segura is an immigration consultant, grapegrower and former chair of the Napa Valley College Board of Trustees, with deep ties to the local Latino community and a history of advocating for farmworker housing.
Segura ran for St. Helena City Council in November. Her term on the Planning Commission will expire in June 2024.
With the city undertaking a comprehensive update of its zoning codes, ânow may be the most important time ever to examine how we can create a full-spectrum community, one open to people from all walks of life, income levels, ages, genders, orientations and ethnicities,â Segura told the council.

Invaders, trespassers, intruders. Invasive species are everywhere in North Oaks. Why should you care? Invasive species are non-native organisms that come into our natural environment and can quickly overtake our native plants and animals. They displace the natural beauty of our woodlands, lakes, and fields.
While some invasive species, like purple loosestrife and the yellow iris, may disguise themselves as a pop of color on a shoreline near you, others, like oriental bittersweet and buckthorn, can literally strangle native trees with vines that climb to reach sunlight or crowd out native plants with dense thickets. Native plants have spent hundreds of thousands of years adapting to Minnesotaâs climate and each other, achieving a delicate natural balance with neighboring plants to produce a sustainable wilderness. Invasive species disturb this delicate balance.Â
