To: Public Comments
Subject: Agenda item 13, April 26th
#1. The diving boards were removed from the former
demolished pool. Would you discuss the addition of a water slide to the new pool? Or if you think a water slide may be added sometime in the future, at least discuss the addition of the cement block foundation that a future water slide would require. It would be easy to add the cement
foundation while the contractor can still get around the pool water lines and there is now, of course, no cement deck to contend with.
#2. There is a peach tree by the pool that I would like to see preserved. PG&E wants to replace their gas line that goes to the pool heaters. That line runs right next to the tree. The construction of the gas line may kill the tree. If it can't be saved, will you replant another peach tree? Maybe approve $230,080.00 just in case you want a new peach tree.

Hello Grass Valley City Council,
I am Walter Helvin. I have been living here in Grass Valley for all of my life and attend high school in Nevada Country. I want to advocate for updating Grass Valley's general plan to include Climate Change acceptance, mitigation, and emission reduction measures. This is incredibly important because, as I'm sure you're aware, California, including Grass Valley has serious problems with wildfires and wildfire risk as well as pollution and destruction of our communities' natural environments. I want our town and our community to be a better place now and in the future, and the only way to do this is to take steps to prevent climate change and harmful actions against our local ecosystems. Updating our general plan will greatly help make this a reality. Please consider making this change and directly improving our town and community. Thanks for your consideration!

Hello Grass Valley City Council,
Our names are Ruby Chow and Jessica McKnight, we are seniors at Ghidotti Early College High School, and have lived in Grass Valley all our lives. We strongly believe that it would be a mistake to allow the Idaho‐Maryland Mine to reopen for many reasons. Our most prominent concern is the decrease in air quality and the impact it would have on our well system. Please update the General Plan to include Climate Change acceptance, mitigation, and emission reduction measures. Thank you for your consideration and your service to our community.

Thank you,

CS has been medically tested in the UK and US, specifically by the U.S. Army. There are no known allergic reactions to CS. OC was de-regulated in California in 1996, is endorsed by the FBI, and is available to civilians to legally possess (2.5oz or less).

OC is an inflammatoryagent which causes involuntary closure of eyes (open in 2-5 minutes) and respiratory inflammation (subsides in approximately 2 minutes).

Title: Condon and Scotten Turf Installation Project – Authorization to Award Contract Recommendation: That Council 1) authorize the award of a contract for the Condon and Scotten Turf Installation Project 2) authorize the Mayor to execute the construction contract, subject to legal review and, 3) authorize the City Engineer to approve construction change orders for up to 10% of the contract amount.

Prepared by: Bjorn P. Jones, PE, City Engineer
Council Meeting Date: 05/10/2022 Date Prepared: 05/05/2022 Agenda: Consent
Background Information: The Condon and Scotten Turf Replacement Project primarily involves installation of artificial turf systems at Scotten School and Condon Park. Originally the Invitation to Bid for the project included all aspects associated with construction of the artificial turf fields, however, an addendum was issued on April 21, 2022, which removed final installation of the artificial turf system from the request. It was determined to be in the City’s best interest to utilize a California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) procurement process for the Condon and Scotten Turf Installation Project, allowing the City to determine a best value artificial turf system and supplier.

The CMAS Program is a division of the California Department of General Services which creates a pool of suppliers that State and local government agencies can solicit offers from. The CMAS program effectively conducts the competitive bidding process for agencies in advance, by issuing a Request for Proposals; collecting and evaluating proposals; and approving contract agreements with qualified suppliers. Agencies may then negotiate with approved suppliers to agree on a cost less than the CMAS approved contract, but the listed price schedule cannot be exceeded. Utilizing this approach allows the City to more efficiently contract directly with a pre-approved turf supplier to ensure variables such as product specifications and contractor availability meet the City’s needs. This procurement process meets the requirements of the Grass Valley Municipal Code.

The City received proposals from six different qualified turf suppliers listed on the CMAS database. Proposal amounts varied from $1,373,764 to $1,822,674. Engineering Staff conducted a thorough evaluation of all proposals for a number of factors including product offerings, installation schedule, experience, customer service, warranty and maintenance support. Staff has determined that a $1,478,956.50 proposal from Sprinturf provides the best overall value for the City. Sprinturf has years of experience and installations throughout California including numerous high schools and universities such as the Humboldt State and Sac State stadium fields.

Their proposed turf product is a high quality dual fiber system with a cork infill that the City desires and their availability allows for installation in summer 2022.

Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Engineer to execute a construction contract with Sprinturf in the amount of $1,478,956.50; authorize the Mayor to execute the construction contract, subject to legal review and subject to the bid protest period; and authorize the City

Nevada County Transportation Commission
Organization Flow Chart
Nevada County Transportation Commission (NCTC)
NCTC is a Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) created pursuant to Title 7.88 of the State of California Government Code, Section 67920. As the RTPA for Nevada County, NCTC coordinates transportation planning for Grass Valley, Nevada City, Nevada County, and the Town of Truckee. The NCTC board has seven members. Four members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors and three are appointed by the incorporated municipalities in the County. The Board of Supervisors appoints two of its members and two County at-large representatives. The municipalities appoint three city/town council members; one each from Nevada City, Grass Valley, and the Town of Truckee.

Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
The TAC is made up of representatives of public transit operators, local public works and planning departments, public airport operators, the air pollution control district, and Caltrans. The Committee provides technical input on transportation issues and ensures there is coordination and cooperation in the transportation planning process.

Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC) The SSTAC is made up of potential transit users who are representatives of the general public; seniors and/or disabled; social service providers for seniors, disabled, and persons of limited means; local social service and consolidated transportation providers; and Truckee residents who represent the senior and Hispanic communities. The goal of the SSTAC is to maintain and improve transportation services to the residents of Nevada County, particularly the underserved and underrepresented members of the community, such as the elderly and disabled. The SSTAC recommends action to the Commission relative to the unmet transit needs findings, and advises the Commission on transit issues, including coordination and consolidation of specialized transportation services.

Airport Land Use Commissions (ALUCs)
The Nevada County Transportation Commission has been designated as the Airport Land Use Commission for the Nevada County Airport and provides staff for the Truckee Tahoe ALUC. The purpose of Airport Land Use Commissions is to protect public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring the orderly expansion of airports and adoption of land use measures that minimize the public's exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards within the areas around the airports, to the extent that these areas are not already devoted to incompatible uses.

Nevada County Demographics
As of January 1, 2019, the population of Nevada County was estimated at 98,764. The largest municipality is Truckee with a population of 16,180, followed by Grass Valley at 12,860 and Nevada City at 3,068. Nevada County Quick Facts on Census.gov reported the racial makeup of the county as 84.9% White, followed by 9.7% Hispanic, 1.4% Asian, 1.3% Native American, and 0.6% Black or African-American. Quick Facts indicates that

10.3% of the population was below the poverty level.

OVERALL WORK PROGRAM INTRODUCTION
NCTC annually adopts a budget through the preparation of an Overall Work Program (OWP). This work program describes the planning projects and activities or work elements that are to be funded, and the type of funds that will pay for the expenditures, such as Rural Planning Assistance (RPA), Local Transportation Funds (LTF), or Federal Transit Administration (FTA). A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between NCTC, the Cities of Grass Valley and Nevada City, the Town of Truckee, and the County of Nevada provides for the coordination of regional transportation planning with local governments in Nevada County. The Commission staff prepares a draft OWP and in accordance with the MOU, solicits and integrates comments from each of the jurisdictions. The proposed work program is then submitted to the Commission for approval and forwarded to Caltrans.

Caltrans, as the grantor of Rural Planning Assistance funds and Federal Transit Assistance funds, approves the OWP. The budget reflects the on-going regional transportation planning process in Nevada County. Major concerns of each of the jurisdictions and Caltrans are reflected in the elements and levels of funding. The OWP is updated each year to report on the progress of identified projects, propose new or continuing projects for the ensuing year, and to provide an estimate of the required funding of the OWP elements.

Public Participation
Public involvement is a major component of the transportation planning and programming processes.

NCTC makes a concerted effort to solicit public input from all Nevada County residents, including under-represented groups, in many aspects of transportation planning within Nevada County. Specific examples are listed below:
♦ NCTC maintains a website (www.nctc.ca.gov), and a Facebook page to keep the public informed of transportation planning and programming efforts underway in Nevada County.

Agendas are posted on the bulletin boards of local jurisdictions and emailed to mobile home parks, residential homeowners associations, senior centers, environmental advocates, associations representing the private sector, and individuals that have asked to be included on the distribution list.
♦ Articles on the preparation of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), as well as the public comment periods, are posted on the NCTC website.
♦ Copies of the Draft RTP are made available for review at the main public libraries in western and eastern Nevada County, as well as on the NCTC website. ♦ Press releases are sent to the media establishments in western and eastern Nevada County announcing the Draft RTP is available for review and comment and noting some key findings. ♦ Public hearings are held and noticed in the main newspapers in western and eastern Nevada County prior to adoption of the RTP and RTIP.
♦ Each year public notifications are sent out to encourage participation in transportation planning processes, such as the annual unmet transit needs public hearing held by the Transit Services Commission (TSC) and numerous public workshops relating to the transportation projects and planning activities of NCTC.
♦ In accordance with SB52, NCTC conducts outreach and Tribal Consultation on any projects for which NCTC is lead agency and files a Notice of Preparation, Notice of Mitigated Negative Declaration or Notice of Negative Declaration. ♦ Citizens are encouraged to attend and speak at NCTC meetings on any matter included for discussion on the agenda at that meeting. During the COVID-19 restrictions on public gatherings, NCTC meetings and public workshops are held via teleconference (Zoom) and the public is invited to participate.

Regional Issues, Needs, and Goals
The main transportation issues in western Nevada County are related to providing adequate infrastructure and services to meet the needs of the County, while maintaining and enhancing the rural character and environmental qualities of the area. In western Nevada County, interregional traffic adds to the existing challenge and need to maintain and improve the transportation system.

In eastern Nevada County, the issues also stem from the challenges to meet the needs related to the high volumes of traffic generated by travelers taking advantage of the world-class recreational opportunities available in the Truckee-North Tahoe area. To address these issues requires a multimodal approach to transportation planning in the region.

Acquiring adequate and timely funding for transportation improvements is the central need within all of the Nevada County issues. Implementation of highway and regional roadway improvements will be key to providing efficient operations, while improving safety and air quality. The 2000 Census reported that approximately 17.5% of the county population was over 65 years of age, in 2019 that population increased to 27.5%, and it is projected that by 2030 this population is expected to increase to over 30%.

As the population of residents over the age of 65 increases, it will result in increased demand for public transit services in Nevada County. Additional state and federal transit operating and capital revenues will be necessary in order to meet the additional demand placed on the public transit systems.

Transportation issues facing Nevada County which have been identified as regionally significant include the following:
♦ Insufficient state, federal, and local transportation revenues ♦ Air quality/greenhouse gas emission reductions
♦ Coordination of land use, air quality, and transportation planning ♦ Providing and maintaining a transportation system that enhances safety, the efficient movement of all people, goods, services, and information, and environmental quality ♦ Efficient implementation of new technologies
Recognition of these issues leads to the overall goal of the Regional Transportation Plan, which is to provide and maintain a transportation system that enhances safety, the efficient movement of all people, goods, and services, and environmental quality. In the Policy Element this overarching goal is divided into the following four goals:
1) Provide for the safe and efficient movement of all people, goods, services, and information; 2) Reduce adverse impacts on the natural, social, cultural, and historical environment and the quality of life;
3) Develop an economically feasible transportation system; 4) Create and maintain a comprehensive, multi-modal transportation system to serve the needs of the County.

The following list of projects indicates progress made toward implementing the goals of the Regional Transportation Plan:
• Operation of Gold Country Stage, Truckee Transit, and associated paratransit services • SR 49-La Barr Meadows Road Signalization and Widening project, constructed 2013 • SR 20/49 Dorsey Drive Interchange project, constructed 2014 • SR 49 Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement project, constructed 2014 • SR 49 Signal Pre-emption, programmed 2012 STIP, construction 2015/16 • SR 89 “Mousehole” Grade Separation, programmed 2012 STIP, construction 2015/16 • Northeast Grass Valley Sidewalk Improvements, Preliminary Engineering 2014/15, construction 2015/16

Active Transportation Plan: Identifies a network of pedestrian and bicycle facilities and projects to support pedestrian and bicycle safety for people of all ages and abilities. Specifically, the Active Transportation Plan aims to:
• Identify barriers and innovative solutions to encourage walking and bicycling as viable travel modes • Effectively build on recently completed and current active transportation planning efforts • Develop walking/bicycling networks supportive of existing and future land uses and projects • Develop a clearly-defined implementation strategy with specific, creative, yet practical and financially feasible projects matched to specific funding opportunities Active Transportation Program (ATP): Created in 2013 by the passage of SB 99 and AB 101, the Active Transportation Program consolidates existing federal and state transportation programs into a single program with a focus to make California a national leader in active transportation. The purpose of the Active Transportation Program is to encourage increased use of active modes of transportation by achieving the following goals:
• Increase the proportion of trips accomplished by biking and walking, • Increase safety and mobility for non-motorized users, • Advance the active transportation efforts of regional agencies to achieve Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction goals, pursuant to SB 375 (of 2008) and SB 341 (of 2009), • Enhance public health and ensure that disadvantaged communities fully share in the benefits of the program, and
• Provide a broad spectrum of projects to benefit many types of active transportation users.

Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC): The fundamental purpose of ALUCs is to promote land use compatibility around airports. As expressed in state statutes, this purpose is “… to protect public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring the orderly expansion of airports and the adoption of land use measures that minimize the public’s exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards within areas around public airports to the extent that these areas are not already devoted to incompatible uses.” The statutes give ALUCs two principal powers by which to accomplish this objective:

1. ALUCs must prepare and adopt an airport land use plan; and

2. ALUCs must review the plans, regulations, and other actions of local agencies and airport operators for consistency with that plan.

Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP): A document referred to by ALUCs and individuals seeking to review standards for land use planning in the vicinity of an airport. The ALUCP defines compatible land uses for noise, safety, airspace protection, and overflight within the Airport Influence Area (AIA).

Allocation: A distribution of funds by formula or agreement. With regard to Transportation Development Act funds, allocation is the discretionary action by the RTPA which designates funds for a specific claimant for a specific purpose.

Apportionment: Distribution of funds by a formula. Apportionment under the Transportation Development Act is the determination by the RTPA of each area’s share of anticipated LTF for the ensuing fiscal year.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): A statute that requires state and local agencies to identify the significant environmental impacts of their actions and to avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible.

Capital Improvement Program (CIP) or Capital Improvement Plan: A short-range plan, which identifies capital projects and equipment purchases, provides a planning schedule and identifies options for financing the plan.

Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ): A federal funding program that is available in western Nevada County for transportation projects that demonstrate emission reductions to help attain federal air quality standards. Western Nevada County was classified in 2004 as “non-attainment” for 8-hour ozone standards.

North State Super Region (NSSR): Regional transportation planning agencies from 16 counties in Northern California came together on October 20, 2010 to sign a memorandum of agreement. This agreement created an alliance between the agencies to work together and support each other on issues related to transportation and to have a unified voice representing the North State.

Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District (NSAQMD): The Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District was formed in 1986 by the merging of the Air Pollution Control Districts of Nevada, Plumas and Sierra Counties. The District is required by state law to achieve and maintain the federal and state Ambient Air Quality Standards, which are air quality standards set at levels that will protect the public health.

The District is composed of three primary entities, each with a specific purpose: District staff, Governing Board of Directors, and Hearing Board.

Overall Work Program (OWP): NCTC annually adopts a budget through the preparation of an Overall Work Program. This work program describes the planning projects and activities or work elements that are to be funded, and the type of funds that will pay for the expenditures.

Planning, Programming, and Monitoring (PPM): PPM is funding allocated by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) through the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Designated uses of PPM include:
• Regional transportation planning – includes development and preparation of the regional transportation plan;
• Project planning – includes the development of project study reports or major investment studies conducted by regional agencies or by local agencies, in cooperation with regional agencies; • Program development – includes the preparation of regional transportation improvement programs (RTIPs) and studies supporting them; and
• Monitoring the implementation of STIP projects – includes project delivery, timely use of funds, and compliance with state law and CTC guidelines.

Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E): In this stage of project development, the scope of the selected alternative is refined; design surveys and photogrammetric mapping is obtained; and reports including traffic data, hydrology and hydraulics, geotechnical design, pavement design, and materials and sound wall design reports are completed. Final right-of-way requirements are determined and procurement is initiated. At the completion of the PS&E stage, a complete set of project plans have been developed that will allow a competent contractor to bid and build the project. These plans include a refined estimate of the construction costs and any required specifications on how the work is to proceed.

Title: Appointment of Vice Mayor Arbuckle Nominee, Debbie Thomas, for the Measure E Oversight Committee
Recommendation: That the City Council appoint Measure E Oversight Committee Member Thomas to a term ending December 2022
Prepared by: Taylor Day, Deputy City Clerk
Council Meeting Date: 5/10/2022 Date Prepared: 5/06/2022 Agenda: Consent
Background Information: In 2018 Grass Valley citizens voted to approve Measure E, a voter initiative tax measure that repealed the previous 1/2 percent City transaction and use (sales) tax and replaced it with an ongoing 1 percent sales tax. Measure E expands funding for such general fund purposes as increased police and fire services, enhancing parks and recreational services, and improving streets and sidewalks. All Measure E funds stay local and all expenditures subject to an annual audit by an independent citizen oversight committee.

The Citizen’s Oversight Committee reviews an independent audit of tax receipts and how they are spent each year and advises the City Council on how tax money should be spent. The Council must discuss the audit results at a public meeting each year and post them on the City’s website.

Vice Mayor Arbuckle has nominated community member Debbie Thomas for the Measure E Oversight Committee.

Council Goals/Objectives: The Measure E Oversight Committee executes portions of work tasks towards achieving/maintaining Strategic Plan – Open and Collaborative City Government.

Prepared by: Bjorn P. Jones PE, City Engineer
Council Meeting Date: May 10, 2022 Date Prepared: May 5, 2022 Agenda: Consent
Background Information: On July 16, 2019, Planning Commission approved a Tentative Subdivision Map 18PLN-46 for the Gilded Springs Development, a division of the parcel APN 008-800-006, between West Main Street and Alta Street, into 26 parcels. The Final Map has been reviewed by the City Surveyor and deemed technically correct.

All public improvements are complete, and the subdivision improvements are substantially complete with a few punch list items remaining that the developer has asked to defer in order to better coordinate with building construction work. The developer has provided a letter committing to completing these items prior to building occupancy and has a provided a performance security for the remaining work.

Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions have been prepared and will be recorded, subject to legal review.

Staff recommends that Council approve the Final Map 18PLN-46 and adopt the attached Resolution 2022-23. The Resolution accepts the public utility easements associated with the map and rejects the offer of dedication of roadways. The streets within the development were not built to City Improvement Standards and were planned to be privately owned and maintained by the Home Owner’s Association.

Title: Modification to the Building Official salary range.

Recommendation: That Council approve the increase in the salary range of the Building Official job class.

Prepared by: Thomas Last, Community Development Director Council Meeting Date: 5/10/2022 Date Prepared: 5/05/2022 Agenda: Consent
Background Information: On March 8, 2022, the City Council approved an increase in the salary range for the Building Official job class. The purpose was to assist in the recruitment process for the position since the salary range was clearly below the local median market. At the March meeting, staff recommended Council consider a range that was considered the median for other local jurisdictions in which the City competes with for employees. Staff has since completed a recruitment process and to be competitive and offer a job to a quality candidate staff believes it is necessary to increase the salary range to be slightly above the local median market. Staff notes that the Building Official in Grass Valley requires very unique needs and expectations when compared to other communities. Therefore, we are recommending the salary range be increased by 5% from $8,182 - $10,445 to $8,591 - $10,967 per month.

Unit 1 representatives have been provided copies of the proposed salary range.

Council Goals/Objectives: This item executes portions of work tasks towards achieving/maintaining Strategic Goal #5 – High Performance Government & Quality Service.

Fiscal Impact: The costs for this proposal will be covered with savings not paid to consultants and through payment of fees by applicants for the building inspection and plan review services.

Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Approval of new fees for the following: 1) Animal Control Microchipping; 2) Animal Control Turn-in fee for unaltered cats & dogs; 3) Animal Control adoptions for Feral and working Cats; and 4) Fire fee for Sprinkler Modification Recommendation: Conduct the public hearing and approve the attached Resolution 2022-24 to adopt new use and service fees.

Prepared by: Taylor Day, Deputy City Clerk
Council Meeting Date: 05/10/2022 Date Prepared: 05/06/2022 Agenda: Public Hearing
Background Information: The City Animal Control currently is following state guidelines of Micro Chipping of all cats and dogs prior to being released from their facility per Senate Bill 573 which went into effect on January 1st, 2022. The cost to microchip a dog or cat is $15, which will be paid through the adoption or reclaiming fees for the animal. Also, state law requires any animal that is unalter that comes into the shelter must be neutered or spayed. The City needs to create a fee to cover the costs to neuter or spay the animals. The proposed cost of Unaltered Dog turn in is $86 and Unaltered Cat is $50. Staff is proposing council to adopt a new fee that is lower for adopting out Feral and Working Cats for $45.

The City Fire Department is looking to increase the fee for the plan review of Commercial Fire Sprinkler Modifications of 1 to 49 Sprinkler heads more than the CIP increase this year. These reviews take on average 1.5 hours to 2 hours to review by the City’s third party at the cost of $100 and hour. The current fee for this review is $108 and staff is recommending that it be increased to $165 to mitigate the differences in costs.

Council Goals/Objectives: This action implements the goals and projects in the Strategic Plan associated with ensuring quality and effective government services.

Fiscal Impact: This action will establish fees for services of Animal Control and Fire Department.
