Whereas, Grand Juries are impaneled to act as an “arm of the court,” as authorized by the state constitution, to be a voice of the people and a conscience of the community; and Whereas, like other California counties, Nevada County has a Grand Jury composed of individuals who dedicate their time for a full calendar year to serve in the Grand Jury system; and Whereas, the primary duties of the Nevada County grand Jury are to investigate and report on local governmental operations to assure that the responsibilities are being fulfilled efficiently, honestly and in the best interest of the public; and
Whereas, it is appropriate to provide a designated opportunity to recognize the efforts of those who have volunteered, and are volunteering, their time and service to advance the work of the Nevada County Grand Jury; and
Whereas, the reward of being 19 grand jurors is the satisfaction received working with fellow residents of the county to improve local government for all of us.

3 necessity. I beg you with all due respect to, one, educate yourself, and to, to look longer in the mirror. You owe it to them, your fellow humans, to us, and frankly, to yourself. To those who do not see how this is a local issue, I urge you to consider how many of your own tax dollars have contributed to the annihilation of entire bloodlines in second, the separation from babies of all four lens, and both parents.

And to the dissemination of propaganda, though effective that when Israeli heads of state openly, and directly declare their own aim to wipe an entire people off the earth, no one Bath and I. Lastly, anti zionism is not synonymous with anti semitism. In fact, the more we see what the Zionist state capable of, the clearer it becomes that is in fact antithetical to the Jewish face. Zionism, therefore, is itself anti semitic. If you believe that Palestinians demands for liberation come at the cost of Israel's existence and safety, that is acknowledgment that on some level, you understand that Israel's existence and safety come at the cost of the Palestinians. Please let that be accomplished. Thank you for your time.

9 more than opportunity to strike those. They don't like. It created a circus and a waste of time. This is not what public comment is for. The City Council Meeting should not be wasted on the situation with Boeing jets the Israeli Palestinian calamity, Or for that matter the fact that the State of Oklahoma has pushed more than 40 bills aimed against the queer community in 20 23 alone, The First Amendment protects the freedom of speech, but does not guarantee in any way a specific stage, from which to exercise said freedom. We can and should protect the public comment as the stage for people to address the issues that immediately concern Grass Valley and nothing else. The city, the council's time, and the residents of grass Valley would be better served. Thank you for your time.

11 good people came together and if you don't mind, I will mention the very deserving people Tammy would jacobson Dennis Jacobson, Shannon Bueller, gave Bueller my own wife sorry, got and there was also me, the reason we spoke up was because there was a distinct feeling that something needs to be done. The result was amazing. We had a wonderful co-operation from the city of Grass Valley. The Grass Valley Police Department, and the Department of Public Works under the direction of then, city engineer. Mister Kim Kaiser, worked hand in hand with us to change the way the City Parks book. Today, I think that if you take a good look at Mimi Park, Demartino Park, and of course, Memorial Park, the difference is day and night. I'm sorry, I won't be here to say this in public. And sorry, to say it, to be here, to say it in person, But thank you for what you've done. There's a lasting legacy of that effort.

Every year, on the first Tuesday of August, we celebrate national night out with colleagues in the Park, Colorado, and all throughout this, all throughout this. We have not said thank you, or at least I have not said thank you as much as I should. This was an oversight. I've been reaching to other members of the Council at that time. To say Thank you, but there are local, you know, you were one of them, and I think the current City Council is definitely continuing that trend of really doing well for parks.

So, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

We are beyond blaming now. We must stand on the right side of history. Please do what is right. I vote in every elecƟon.

Subject: Ceasefire resolution
[You don't oŌen get email from . Learn why this is important at hƩps://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdenƟficaƟon ]
Hello,
I am a Nevada County resident in unincorporated Nevada City. I have lived and worked here for 9 years, and am currently raising a family here. I currently work in Grass Valley.

I am wriƟng to encourage the city council to put a ceasefire resoluƟon on the agenda; a resoluƟon calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and affirm support for Congress ResoluƟon HR 786. Every voice maƩers and we must put a stop to the genocide unfolding before our eyes. I have two small children and the death rates of children in parƟcular in Gaza are deeply disturbing. Especially as a county founded on the gold rush and its accompanying genocide and violent land grab, we have a duty to speak up when it's happening elsewhere. When we aren't being represented by the ExecuƟve Branch, and tax dollars are being spent on this atrocity, it's so important for even small voices to be raised. A ceasefire is just that ‐ a low bar in many ways ‐ immediate stop to the violence. From there we can work towards a return of hostages, and permanent peace in the region. The resoluƟon also condemns Islamophobia, anƟsemiƟsm, and and all acts of hate.

Thank you,
Lisa Nowlain

New Global Study revealed that the carbon dioxide emissions generated in the initial 60 days at the Israel Hamas conflicts surpassed the annual emissions of 20 countries identified as highly vulnerable to find a change. Are the quantifiable impact on the climate on funding the genocide. So if you care about the climate, which you do, Dennis ceasefire should ask, that are key on a deeply personal level.

Stage was a victim of Islamophobia. Stage was murdered in Florida for children. So there has already been tragic impact of Islamophobia in our community long before October seventh, the fire, in the start of diplomacy. If you can't talk about it and work through it, can really call yourself a leader. Cancel your personal, back at your planet and home are being destroyed by war machine. Time is being stolen to fund a genocide. Community has not had any Healing Reconciliation from the outright Islamophobia, that led to a murder of an unhappy Muslim widow in front of her black children. This community will always remember: put this fire resolution on the agenda, because it affects you, and affecting everyone in the room everyone county, everyone in the world.

Subject: Public Comment for City Council Meeting/GVDA Presenation

Public Comment:

This is Lillie Robertson, Past Chair of the GVDA and current board member of the GVDA and Greater Grass Valley Chamber of Commerce. I am also the owner of Yuba Blue and The WorkSpace Grass Valley. I am sorry to miss tonight’s City Council Meeting and presentation but I had to be in Atlanta for work.

I just want to say how thrilled I am with how far our organization has come in the last 12 months. The Alliance being formed between the GGVCC and GVDA will allow us to excel even further as both organizations can leverage our collective capacities.

Of course, the City of Grass Valley’s partnership with our organization is a cornerstone of our achievement and we look forward to our continued partnership and success. The Mill Street Plaza is the crown jewel of our town, and our BID members are now beginning to reap the benefits of it’s completion.

There is always more to do to make our downtown the best it can be and on behalf of the GVDA, I look forward to continuing to foster its success in tandem with the City of Grass Valley.

Thank you for your time and consideration this evening. I hope you have enjoyed our presentation and see the value our organization brings to our membership, the City of Grass Valley and our community.

2 able to zoom in for public comment is really a good thing, and that should be accessible to more people. And I also think that when we say that voicemails will be shared over, public comments should be shared over public comment. I think last meeting, there was an issue where I know multiple people called in public comments, and those were not play during meetings. I would just like to make sure that people who are following the rules is written, there get to be respected as such. Thank you very much. Bye.

Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Idaho Maryland Road – Right of Way Vacation and Accept Roadway Dedication CEQA: Categorically Exempt – Section 15301 “Existing Facilities” Recommendation: That Council adopt a resolution to vacate public right of way and to accept the dedication of street right of way at 403 Idaho Maryland Road.

Prepared by: Bjorn P. Jones, PE, City Engineer
Council Meeting Date: 2/13/2024 Date Prepared: 2/8/2024 Agenda: Consent
Background Information: On 6/22/2022, Planning Commission approved an application for Grass Valley Provisions, a commercial cannabis dispensary located at 403 Idaho Maryland Road. As part of the conditions of approval, the applicant was required to construct frontage improvements, including curb, gutter and sidewalk and drainage facilities in the public right of way.

Through the course of design and in surveying of the proposed improvements it was discovered that the logical alignment of the frontage improvements did match up with the existing, irregular property line boundaries. In order to facilitate onsite construction and keep the public improvements within public right of way, property line adjustments were proposed to dedicate two small areas to the City, in exchange for the abandonment of an area of existing City right of way. In doing so a logical and consistent street right of width across Idaho Maryland of seventy feet is established for the entire frontage of the property.

Legal descriptions and survey exhibits of the right of way areas have been prepared by the applicant’s Surveyor and have been deemed technically correct by the City Surveyor. The Record of Survey prepared by Dundas Geomatics and the legal descriptions and exhibits are attached.

Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached Resolution to summarily vacate existing street right of way and accept the dedication of public roadways.

Council Goals/Objectives: Acceptance of roadway right of way executes portions of work tasks towards achieving/maintaining Strategic Plan Goal – City Infrastructure Investment

Item # 5.

Fiscal Impact: There is little to no fiscal impact associated with this action as the right of way areas in question are approximately equal in size and no significant change in street maintenance costs should be experienced.

Title: Condon Park Skatepark Project– Authorization to Award Contract CEQA: Exempt – Section 15301 “Existing Facilities”
Recommendation: That Council 1) award a Design Build contract for the Condon Park Skatepark Project to Grindline Skatepark, Inc., 2) authorize the Mayor to execute the contract, subject to legal review and, 3) authorize the City Engineer to approve construction change orders of up to 10% of the contract amount.

Prepared by: Bjorn P. Jones, P.E. City Engineer
Council Meeting Date: February 13, 2024 Date Prepared: February 8, 2024 Agenda: Consent
Background Information: A Request for Proposals (RFP) was released on November 21, 2023, for Design-Build services for the Condon Park Skatepark Project. The Project requested proposals to either replace the existing skatepark in its entirety with a new skatepark, or the option to rehabilitate the existing park and construct an expanded area with new features and other amenities.

Three firms submitted proposals for consideration by the deadline and a panel of five evaluators reviewed the proposals and ranked firms according to evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP; the Proposer team’s qualifications, the team’s described technical approach and their submittal of layout drawings and renderings of skatepark concepts.

Based on evaluator’s scoring, Grindline Skateparks, Inc. was identified as the top ranking firm and the preferred consultant to provide the best overall value to the City for the Condon Park Skatepark Project.

The project was originally proposed to be funded with a combination of Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant funds and supplemental Measure E funds. In consultation with the State Board of State and Community Corrections department overseeing the grant it was determined that the City should consolidate Prop 64 funding awarded for use on other parks projects and utilize all $1,500,000 for the Condon Park Skatepark Project. This would free up Measure E funding to be used for other park development opportunities.

Staff recommends that Council award a Design Build contract to Grindline Skateparks, Inc., in the amount of $1,500,000 and authorize the City Engineer to approve construction change orders of up to 10% of the contract amount.

City of Grass Valley - Condon Park Skatepark Project Design - Build Project No. 23-10.

Dear Zac Quentmeyer,
Grindline will manage this project as the Prime Design-Build Entity to provide a single point of contact throughout the life of this project and we will leverage our existing relationship with Rick Engineering for Civil Design/Engineering of Record, for the project. Rick’s local staff has the necessary skills and qualifications required to support and compliment Grindline in providing a successful project for the City.

We have previously worked together as a team in Anaheim, Vista, Lake Elsinore, San Juan Capistrano, and are currently working on a project in San Buenaventura.

It is our understanding that the City of Grass Valley is motivated to design a state-of-the-art skatepark utilizing the latest skate park design principles. We understand that the City if requesting two options for initial designs. Option #1 where we will evaluate the existing skatepark, and provide a plan to rehabilitate the existing skatepark and expand the footprint by approximately 5,000 square feet. Option #2 , the current skatepark is demolished and a new skatepark rebuilt in its footprint. We understand that in both options, the design should accommodate all ages, abilities, and skill levels. We use our "Ladder of Progression" to ensure this is accomplished. Not only should the design facilitate service to skateboards but for all desired wheeled users as well. We fully understand that the project should be a mix of transition and street style terrain, that include the mimicking of natural street-skating and skatepark environments, including ledges, pads, banks, rails, and other natural transitions as guided by the City and community.

Within our submission, you will find information about our team, previous project experience, and our design methodology. Our combination of world class skatepark design and knowledge make our team the best fit for your project. Collectively, we are enthusiastic about this project and the prospect of developing a skatepark that will meet the needs of the City, community and other stakeholders, serving as an active recreation destination for the youth and families of the community. Grindline has completely reviewed and understands and agrees to be bound by the requirements of this SOQ/RFP. As the CEO of Grindline Skateparks, I am authorized to represent the firm in any negotiations and sign any legally binding contracts for this project.

Sincerely,
Matt Fluegge

GRINDLINE SKATEPARKS, INC.

Since 2002, the Grindline team has designed, sculpted, and skated millions of tons of concrete across the United States and around the World. Grindline has developed the full spectrum of skate terrain including street courses, bowl complexes, snake runs, pump tracks, hobbit trails, professional training facilities, skateable sculptures and all those features yet to be named. We translate the needs of local skaters into skatepark designs that will progress with them into the future. Our parks range in size from the largest skatepark in North America all the way down to a single skate obstacle. Regardless of square footage, skaters are riding our parks from dawn to dusk. We have designed and constructed over 300 skateparks to date, from Orcas Island in Washington State to the Holy Lands of Israel, giving us an intimate understanding of building community through skateboarding.

As a contractor specializing in concrete construction, we are highly aware of the effects from the growing amount of hardscape on the environment. On every job, Grindline incorporates green construction techniques such as:
• Recycled concrete for sub base materials
• Fly-ash in our concrete and shotcrete mixes
• On-site stormwater management
• Recycling of construction materials such as formwork and site spoils Grindline has the appropriate financial and staffing resources to undertake a project of this scope and size.

It is the normal means of business for Grindline to manage, design, and construct multiple projects at any given time such that each meets its specified objectives. Our office is staffed such that any given task can be performed on more than one project at any given time. Our multiple construction crews allow for us to construct multiple projects simultaneously. Our positive financial position includes a $250,000 revolving line of credit with a local commercial bank, surplus cash reserves held with a local bank, over $380,000 in positive working capital, a bonding program with an A+-rated Surety (Travelers) that supports $10,000,000 aggregate of projects with a $5,000,000 single project limit as well as revolving credit accounts with local and national material suppliers.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS: PROJECT TEAM PROFILE 3 Our Philosphy
A successful skatepark is the result of an entire community coming together to work toward a common purpose. It’s our responsibility to engage all interest groups throughout the development of their park and motivate them to work together. We aim to empower skate advocates and community groups by giving them the tools and knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their park. The development process relies on a commitment to collaboration and communication amongst stakeholders. We facilitate the exchange of ideas and information related to aesthetics, safety, crime prevention, as well as programming, and meld these “needs” and “wants” into a successful skatepark. Our principal design philosophy is based on our recognition that every community and project site is unique, requiring a skatepark design tailored to its location.

To do so, our approach is based on four fundamentals:
• Open collaboration with the client and community through community involvement & public outreach • Timeless Designs that appeal to all ages and skill levels • Integration & Context
• Efficient Engineering, Sustainable Design and Budget Management

DESIGNING FOR DIFFERENT SKILL LEVELS
Grindline’s designs offer a Ladder of Progression for skaters to incrementally develop their skills and advance their sport. The skatepark is more than a sum of all its individual elements, it is the overall experience of the park that brings end users back—day after day, week after week.

Beginner
Small and low street elements are among
the most important to a balanced skatepark
formula. These features can be can be equally
enjoyed by skaters off all skill levels, but are
especially fun for beginners.

Intermediate
Intermediate street elements and mellow transitional features are key to successful skatepark planning. These features are accessible to the majority of skateboarders, and therefore
are in higher demand. For skaters working towards advanced street skills, we can include various stair sets and sizes for “step by step”
development.

Advanced
Grindline is renowned for including bigger and
more challenging transitions that encourage
higher speeds and large airs that seasoned
skateboarders desire. With endless flow, advance transitional and street features attract advanced users from near and far on a weekly
basis. For advanced street skaters, the elements incrementally grow in size and difficulty that encourages their continued progression
and growth.

OUR CAPABILITIES
9 It is important that skateparks incorporate the feel of the local community in creative ways. Grindline has extensive experience of working with communities during the public outreach process to determine how to tie a skatepark in with the community through the use of historical, cultural, geographical, or other thematic elements. Below are some examples.

Natural Connections
Hana Skatepark, Hana, Hawaii
The community of Hana, Hawaii wanted
the skatepark to reflect how important surfing is in the community and the volcanic nature of the Hawaiian Islands. Grindline
came up with an organic flowing design
with multiple volcanos centrally located.

The organic flow reflects the local nature of
surfing, while paying homage to the volcanic nature of the Hawaiian Islands.

Regional Context
A-Dog Memorial Park, Burlington, VT
Burlington’s new skatepark features a
skateable sail sculpture to tie in with
Burlington’s rich sailing history on adjacent
Lake Champlain. It also features a manual
pad that is shaped like the state of Vermont
for a regional tie in.

Local Identity & Unique Features
Multi-Purpose Features
McVicker Park Skatepark, Lake Elsinore, CA
At McVicker Park, we created a unique seating/skating experience dubbed "Skatium seating." There was an elevation change from the parking lot to the skatepark where the City wanted to build concrete bleachers for event seating. By including transitions at the end of each riser, Grindline made the bleachers a unique skateable entrance to the park when not being used for events.

Historical Re-use
Paine's Park, Philadelphia, PA
Paine’s Park in Philadelphia features recycled granite from both Love Park and City Hall, both of which were legendary skate spots in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. As the park is supposed to be the legal replacement for skater’s tired of getting kick out of Love Park, we brought an existing skate spot back to life for the skateboarders of Philadelphia.

OUR CAPABILITIES
It is important that skateparks incorporate the feel of the local community in creative ways. Grindline has extensive experience of working with communities during the public outreach process to determine how to tie a skatepark in with the community through the use of historical, cultural, geographical, or other thematic elements. Below are some examples.

The organic flow reflects the local nature of
surfing, while paying homage to the volcanic nature of the Hawaiian Islands.

The community of Hana, Hawaii
wanted the skatepark to reflect how
important surfing is in the community
and the volcanic nature of the Hawaiian
Islands. Grindline came up with an
organic flowing design with multiple
volcanos centrally located. The organic
flow reflects the local nature of surfing,

Burlington’s new skatepark features
a skateable sail sculpture to tie in
with Burlington’s rich sailing history
on adjacent Lake Champlain. It also
features a manual pad that is shaped
like the state of Vermont for a regional
tie in.

At McVicker Park, we created a unique
seating/skating experience dubbed
"Skatium Seating." There was an
elevation change from the parking lot
to the skatepark where the City wanted
to build concrete bleechers for the
event seating. By including transition
at the end of each riser, we made the
bleachers a unique entrance to the
park when not being used for events.

The place of the salmon in the S'klallam
tribe's history and culture cannot be

tribe.

The Tibbet's Valley Skatepark worked
with a local artist to create one of a kind
art work for the features of the skatepark.

Not only giving the skatepark a unique

Location
Jamail Skatepark
Houston, TX
Volcom Brothers Skatepark
Mammoth, CA
Rhodes Skatepark
Boise, ID
Vista Skateparks System
Vista, CA
The site was located in Houston’s
Buffalo Bayour Park (a bayou converted
to an urban park/greenway) which was
susceptible to hurricane related flood
events and also included unpredictable
soil with potential for expansion when
extremely saturated.

Several large boulders (some being
immovable) we unearthed during
excavation of the skatepark. The
boulders that were moveable would
have been a costly unforeseen
condition if they were to be removed
from the site.

A site located under a freeway
overpass with bridge pillars scattered
throughout the site, potentially
requiring easements and impeding
skateboarding circulation. Ownership/
Lease agreements for the site were
held by three public agencies: Idaho
Department of Transportation, Ada
County Highway District, and City of
Boise.

The Vista contract required that 2
skateparks be constructed on two
adjacent sites, with a required skatepark
size that would take up nearly the entire
site footprint, leaving very little area to
accommodate Southern California’s
very strict on site water treatment
requirements
We worked with our structural, civil,
and geotechnical sub consultants to
design the skatepark bowls to both fill
up with, and hold water during these
events. This allowed the bowls to
act as stormwater detention facilities
during these events, while the weight of
the water also acted as ballast to keep
the bowls from lifting due to hydrostatic
pressure from the expansive soils.

Grindline was able to implement some
value engineering to the project by
designing around the immoveable
boulders, while even utilizing a portion
of them as actual skateable elements.

This quickly executed field change also
provided an enhanced aesthetic, tying
the skate facility in with its surrounding
context.

The Grindline design/build team
worked with all 3 agencies to design
and construct approved skateable
features around the pillars, while
accommodating required maintenance
access routes, and without
compromising the structural integrity
of the pillars themselves. The shape
and texture of the pillars themselves
provided an opportunity for visual
enhancements through the addition of
LED accent lighting.

Our team implemented innovative
“Modular Wetlands” into both
skatepark designs. These pre-cast
concrete vaults allow storm water
to be treated as required within a
much smaller footprint and also
self-irrigated some plantings on the
project.

Problem Solution
Just like every Grindline Skatepark, each designated project site is unique. Each distinctive construction site seems to come with at least one problem, sometimes completely unique to anything we have seen before. At Grindline we strive to identify these problems early in the design process, and turn them into opportunities to manifest, design, plan, and finally implement innovative solutions. The following list are just few examples of the problems we have come across, and the innovate solutions we have executed to mitigate them.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND QUALIFICATIONS: EXPERIENCE AND REFERENCE PROJECTS 13 Through a competitive RFP process Grindline was selected as the most qualified design-builder to design and construct the 14,600 square foot skatepark in Molenaar Park. Located in Boise, this area has a high volume of skateboarders and other wheeled users due to the population and variety of Grindline parks in the area. The goal for this design was to create a more accessible facility to compliment Rhodes Skatepark just a few minutes away, which includes more advanced terrain and is often very busy due to its central location downtown, while also being very engaging for seasoned skaters, and especially for those who prefer street style features. Grindline worked with the Albertson Foundation (a local non-profit organization who funded the project), the City of Boise, and the Boise Skateboard Association in a team-based approach which aided to the success and popularity of the skatepark. The needs of the local community to where a major influence on the final outcome, along with our skilled team who seamlessly blended features into a cohesive design and within the context of the surrounding multi-use Molenaar park.

19 PROPOSAL: TECHNICAL APPROACH
Project Understanding - Based off the information provided by the City, our current understanding of the project is as follows:
• A concept that is focused on skateboarding but allows the potential impact of a mixed-use public skatepark, a sense of community, a quality street-skating environment, an engaging and aesthetically pleasing design, environmentally sustainable design, and a cohesive sense of place. • Two Options are Required. Option #1 –Evaluate existing skatepark surfacing and skateboard elements. Provide a plan to rehab the existing skatepark and expand the footprint by approximately 5,000 square feet. Option #2 - Demo existing skatepark and rebuild a new skatepark in the existing footprint. If Option #2 is selected, this Project shall include the demolition of the existing 20,500 square foot skatepark.
• Preliminary engineering design.
• Community outreach – please provide your suggested methods for community outreach (project website for public comments, public meetings, etc.)
• Identifying features to mimic natural street-skating and skatepark environments (including ledges, pads, banks, rails, stair-sets, and other natural transitions) as guided by the City and the community.
• Surveying, engineering, and design services for the construction of a skatepark for the Project, including community outreach, preliminary design, environmental documentation, engineering cost estimates, final design, plans and specifications, complete contract documents for bidding and other work as necessary to provide a complete Project. • • If required based on proposal, provide potential phasing of the project based on available • funding.
• • Construction bidding oversight.
• • Engineering services during construction for compaction testing and to provide solutions if • field conditions require a deviation from the approved plans and specs. • • Landscaping and irrigation are not included in the scope of work.

Scheduling - Each of our Project Managers have completed formal educational training, receiving post graduate certificates from University of Washington Project Management Program. We are well versed in Critical Path Method (or CPM) scheduling for both design and construction, and will tailor our customized CPM Master Schedule Template to your project specifically. Through close communication with the Project Team we will develop a list of appropriate tasks throughout the lifecycle of project, while identifying key deliverables and milestones within each of the project phases. Our experience with Microsoft Project software allows us to revise schedules on the fly if needed and communicate that information back to the project team. During construction each of our foreman is equipped with mobile daily reporting software which allows our PM’s to get information that may impact schedule and/or budget from the field immediately so that we can alert the Owner’s Representative and determine the best course of action.

Budget Control - With Grindline’s vast experience in Skatepark projects, we understand the unique set of challenges that accompany the design/build approach. Here at Grindline we see the Design approach as an opportunity to maximize a project budget through the following:

1. Preliminary organized framework that is easy for all parties to understand and decipher.

2. Complete budget transparency through design and construction.

3. Treating the Project Budget as a living document where changes can be easily tracked and traced.

4. Engaging all stakeholders to prioritize the project elements and maintain sort of a project “menu” based on those priorities.

Project Approach Narrative

Page 73 ends

Item # 7.

PROPOSAL: TECHNICAL APPROACH
20 5. Organized accounting and project tracking throughout in order to provide backup upon request for any project costs incurred.

A revised budget document will be prepared and submitted at every design submittal phase throughout the design process. For use of preliminary estimating, we maintain a significant data base of past bids and proposals from the last 18 years and are constantly updating material and labor costs in the areas we work in. Grindline works on a nationwide basis with both public and private projects and we continually document budget trends to assist clients in developing realistic budgets. As we move through the project we will constantly value engineer the project to maximize your budget. As the design develops, we will reach out to and solicit local subcontractors for hard costs in order to lock in a project program based on the refined budget document.

If the projected costs are significantly below budget levels, we will present and discuss possible project scope expansions to take advantage of project scale in lowering unit costs. Should the projected costs exceed the budget, we will revisit the design elements, materials and methods to determine where changes can be made without sacrificing important project goals. In both cases, the final decisions on scope increases or reductions remains with the City, and in both cases, the project would not intentionally move forward without a resolution to the issue.

Progress Reports and Required Meetings - We have provided review/coordination meetings in our scope of work at important milestones but the interval and timing of actual Progress Review Meeting will be determined at the Project Kick-off meeting. Prior to each Progress Review Meeting, the Design Team will submit an updated schedule and all completed or partially completed plans, specifications and estimates which have been developed or altered since the last Progress Review Meeting.

Scope of Services
TASK 1: PROJECT STARTUP
1a Obtain site information: Grindline will review existing site information and determine what additional information is required to complete the design. We will obtain a geotech report for the skatepark site. 1b Project Kick Off Meeting: Grindline will meet with the City and any other key stakeholders to discuss and finalize project objectives including scope, schedule and budget. A communication plan will be made to identify preferred communication methods. Key meetings and deliverables will be scheduled and areas requiring coordination such as public meetings, online forums and exchange/review of documents will be identified. The discussion will identify any outstanding issues with the project, and propose solutions for any issues identified.
1c Site Visit: Grindline and the Project Team will conducted a site visit to review the existing conditions, explore opportunities and constraints of the site, evaluate and review current usage of existing skatepark, adjacent park facilities, and programming spaces to assist in design development.

Existing Site Conditions - The skatepark is located at 660 Minnie St, Grass Valley, CA 95945. The site holds the current 20,500 square foot skatepark. The surrounding area of the skatepark has some sheer elevation changes so careful consideration will need to be taken to ensure that adequate drainage is provided for proposed skatepark drainage. The area also is surrounded by dense vegitation and tree canopy. This means a disruption to local vegetation will be needed to be kept in mind if Option #1 is chosen to expand the site. The skatepark site has blocked site lines from all surrounding sides except for the north side with the parking lot, and the srurounding walking paths. Implementing CPTED practices should be highly considered when designing for this area.

Current and Planned Improvements - The skatepark must integrate with existing and future adjacencies in the surrounding area. Restrooms, walkways, connection paths, park seating, nonskatepark play areas, and parking all play roles in the skatepark placement on site. We will look at the siting of current skatepark as well as connections to and from the skatepark.

External Circulation & Public Safety - We look at how users get to the skatepark, whether by car, board, bike, foot, public transportation, and determine if any improvements need to be included in the current and future phases of the project to allow safe access to the skatepark. And, as in any park where younger citizens will gather, we put CPTED principles into practice to discourage or impede criminal behavior and, at the same time, encourage honest citizens to keep a watchful eye.

Internal Circulation - Proper placement of amenities, traffic patterns, and circulation through the park are reviewed. We scrutinize the location and placement of the proposed skate features to create smooth flow through the skatepark and avoid potential collision routes or blind spots. We identify safe paths for spectators in the skatepark by properly locating entrances to the facility and including passive zones for viewing or resting areas.
1d Public Meeting #1: Grindline proposes a public meeting on the same day as the kick off meeting and site visit to get input from stakeholders on the type of features to be included in the skatepark design.

The goals of this meeting is introduce Grindline to community, explain the design/public input process, and share how the community drives the project development. We provide end users with the project specific knowledge the need to make informed decisions that will determine the ultimate vision for the skatepark. In order to address varied ideas and ideals about skatepark design, this meeting will be highly interactive. In addition to vetting important issues through meaningful discussion, we encourage other types of ‘hands on’ Page 75 Item # 7.

PROPOSAL: TECHNICAL APPROACH
22 involvement such as writing, sketching, and real time modeling of park ideas/elements alongside our team.

We then build consensus by identifying commonalities among different stakeholders to drive the skatepark design. Our social media channels are always open to collect feedback from the community in the event members cannot attend in person or wish to comment later the process.

Via phone conference/online meeting, the Grindline and the Project Team will meet to discuss the Project Startup Report and finalize the direction for moving forward with the design of the Skatepark. Solutions will be proposed for any issues identified in the Project Startup Report
TASK 1 DELIVERABLES
Project Startup report addressing the following:
• Site Inventory / Analysis identifying site opportunities and constraints • Recommendations for renovations and repairs to the existing park with associated costs for each item Updated schedule and preliminary budget
• Summary of Input from Public Meeting #1
TASK 2: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
Skate parks are more than athletic facilities. They are gathering places and can be focal points for other activities like concerts, competitions or community events. Facilities must be designed to meet skating demands, incorporate areas for spectators, and to appropriately blend with their existing surroundings.

Through the use of custom materials and the placement of green space in and around the design, the skatepark ties into the overall form and function of its setting. Conceptual Designs illustrate our skatepark philosophy to key stakeholders and the community in interactive, full color presentations of the custom skate features and facilities included in the project. 3D models allow us to clearly and effectively communicate our skatepark concepts to the client and community as well as assist in the development of accurate cost estimates and material take-offs. The result is a design produced from the ideas and recommendations of ALL stakeholders involved with the project. 2a Preliminary Concept: Based on the findings in the Project Startup and direction from the Project Team, Grindline will develop 3 Preliminary Conceptual Designs and submit for review. These will be submitted in both a plan view with elevations and multiple three-dimensional renderings, and include Page 76 Item # 7.
23 PROPOSAL: TECHNICAL APPROACH
TASK 2 DELIVERABLES
• Preliminary and Final Concepts submitted in 3d renders and site plan • Updated budget and quantity of material estimates with each submittal TASK 3 CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
Cutting edge design and drafting software are important tools for our designers, draftsmen and engineers use to convert concepts into permit ready construction drawings. The latest versions of AutoCAD and Rhinoceros software give us the ability to develop dimensionally correct design concepts from the beginning of design development. Viewing the 3D model alongside a full set of construction documents and technical specifications give us an opportunity to check adherence to local building codes and engineering requirements. Drawings are produced in ACI, ASTM, CSI, or state organizational formats.

We are also well versed with ASTM Section F2334 – Standard for Above Ground Public Use Skatepark Facilities, ASTM F2480 - 06 Standard Guide for In-ground Concrete Skateparks, as well as Skaters for Public Skateparks Public Skatepark Development Guide, the industry’s most frequently used reference publications.

TASK 4 CONSTRUCTION
Our sites are secured with a construction fence and necessary erosion control and environmental protection techniques are employed during the entire construction phase as required. Our skateparks are constructed of steel reinforced concrete/shotcrete meeting a minimum compressive strength of 4000 psi at 28 days. Using proprietary techniques developed over the years, we can form and sculpt concrete into virtually any shape imagined, giving us the ability to produce any skate feature requested by the project stakeholders. Concrete also provides an opportunity to add integral color pigments or concrete stains. Textures can be added by stamping the concrete with urethane molds. Brick and Granite textures are popular amongst skateboarders Page 78 Item # 7.
25 PROPOSAL: TECHNICAL APPROACH
as they mimic the surfaces where skateboarding may not be allowed but still desirable. The majority of the concrete will be hand troweled to the buttery smooth finish that our craftsmen are well known for. We will use steel edging or Precast Concrete Coping on all grindable surfaces throughout each park to maximize park durability.

Construction Management, Quality Control & Project Administration Having a dedicated Project and Construction Management Team always available, whether to attend Meeting or site visits at critical milestones or to respond to questions and issues that arise during the Design / Build process ensures the park is built to plan and budget. Working closely with the Client, we submit weekly progress reports and address any questions or proposed field changes that arise.

Throughout the project, a high level of communication is maintained by the Site Superintendent, Foreman and Project Managers constantly providing the current status of the project, concerns and projected resolution, and expected completion date.

Grindline will serve as the General Contractor on the project and manage all subcontractors and suppliers. Weekly written progress reports will be submitted, along with any change directives and clarification drawings if needed. Upon substantial completion of construction, a walk through with the City will occur to develop a punch list for project closeout. Grindline will provide skatepark manuals covering maintenance of the park and provide a one year written warranty on all materials and workmanship.

TASK 4 DELIVERABLES
• World Class, cast-in-place custom concrete Skatepark

PROGRAMMING, OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE
At Grindline our motto is "Grindline for Life". When you hire Grindline we embrace your community and are with you long after the Grand Opening. While a Grindline skatepark is a self-sufficient venue for yearround recreation, planning and care will add to the success of the project. Grindline has done numerous Page 79 Item # 7.

PROPOSAL: TECHNICAL APPROACH
26 projects with multiple phases (such as Hideaway Park in Winter Park) and we provide maintenance plans to enhance the lifespan of your skatepark. Grindline has valuable relationships with organizations such as Skate Like a Girl, United States Skateboarding Education Association, and the Stronghold Society who collectively advocate for skateboarding and host programs to give local youth access to the sport.

Programs such as skate lessons, skate camps, contests and demonstrations provide opportunities to further support the skateboarding community.

Our collective experience in the field of skatepark design and construction also gives us the knowledge to assess skateparks in terms of physical condition and carry out maintenance and repair actions to extend the life of a skatepark. On aging skateparks, we can evaluate the current function and condition of the skatepark, provide cost of repairs, and create a service plan for ongoing maintenance and/or repair.

28 years skateboarding

12 years employed by Grindline
Rob Owen
Site Superintendent

GRINDLINE
Rob spent his formative years in Milwaukee, growing up skating the legendary Turf Skatepark. This taste for concrete skate facilities manifested itself when he moved to Seattle in 1996, with Rob being a member of a core group responsible with the construction of the West Seattle Bowls, a private backyard pool which currently resides in Rob’s backyard. After working on many of the most famous skateparks being built during the late 90’s, Rob became a founding member of Grindline Skatepark in 2002. Rob combines his quarter century of skateboarding with 18 years of construction experience to come up with creative techniques and solution to modern skateparks. Whether it’s unique over vertical structures or artistic uses of color and textures, Rob is constantly pushing the art and science of skateparks design and construction.

BIO

PROJECTS
John Stiff Park Skatepark Amarillo, TX
Rob pioneered the construction of hemispherical cradles ,and in 2005 he had an idea for a funneled fullpipe with a cradle at the end. Amarillo was looking for something unique to put them on the map in the skatepark world and the funneled fullpipe cradle concept fit the Eill 5oE was aEle to visuali]e and construct this one of a kind feature while remaining on schedule and budget.

Kiwanis Skatepark Yakima, WA
For this project, Rob developed techniques to use broadcast color and stamping cost effectively within our skateparks which give the feel and look of brick but are much more durable and cheaper to construct. The design featured skatepaths that weaved around and through many mature trees onsite. Rob completed the park on schedule and budget, and prevented any harm to the trees during construction.

St. Helena Skatepark St. Helena, CA
Rob completed this 17,000 sq ft park in 2010, and it has been a hit with skaters throughout Northern California and beyond. After the design was complete the site had to be changed due to archeological discoveries. Because of high water table levels at the new site the bowls needed to be elevated, and grindline had to modify the park to fit the new site 5oE came up with an idea of flowy paths of street elements that circumnavigate around the central bowls. The skatepark features colored concrete throughout and thoughtful placement of stamped brick banks.

36 Patricia Trauth PLA, AICP, LEED AP
Patricia Trauth is an Principal at RICK and has more than 30 years of experience providing landscape architectural services to the southern California region. As a licensed landscape architect in California, a certified planner and a LEED accredited professional, she has planned and designed numerous public projects throughout the Los Angeles basin. Her projects have received awards from organizations including CMAA, ASCE, APWA, ULI, APA, ASLA, and NAVFAC.

Throughout her career Patricia has been an active practitioner of sustainable design. She has been responsible for spearheading projects through LEED certification. Patricia is the Landscape Architect of record for a dozen projects at the San Diego International Airport and has shifted the airport’s philosophy to embrace a regional, drought tolerant landscape.

Her publications include Mission First – Smart Growth for Navy and Marine Corps Installations presented at the American Planning Association Federal Division Annual Conference, 2012; and You Can’t Fake Sincerity – Time Tested Rules for Public Participation presented at the Land Development West Symposium, 2007 and the American Planning Association California Conference, 2006. Patricia has taught landscape architecture at San Diego State University, the NewSchool of Architecture & Design, and Mesa Community College. Representative projects include:

Duck Farm, La Puente, CA: Patricia served as Landscape Architect of record for a 22-acre linear park located between the San Gabriel River and Interstate 605.

The constrained site is 14 miles from downtown Los Angeles and includes high voltage power lines, railroad lines, and highway billboards. Once completed, the park will triple the open space available to residents within a mile of its boundaries. The transmission towers become the hub of thematic areas that symbolize sun, wind, water, and photosynthesis. Park amenities include native planting, custom fencing and trellis structures, as well as educational and interpretative signage.

Corona Del Mar State Beach, Newport Beach, CA: Patricia served as Landscape Architect of Record for park improvements which included the lifeguard station and concession building pedestrian paving, a series of curvilinear seat walls that help to mitigate wind erosion along the beach, pockets of turf for sunbathing, and upgrades to the existing landscape.

Orange County Great Park Master Plan Modification 2, Irvine, CA: As Landscape Architect, Patricia is working closely with the City of Irvine and design professionals, Patricia was part of the team that provided updated plans for the Orange County Great Park Master Plan Modification No. 2. This document was a compilation of numerous plans and documents that represented the Orange County Great Park Improvement Area Concept Plans and Programming as well as the minor modification No. 1 document. As a landscape architect, Patricia focused on maintaining the vision for the park, while updating the plans and incorporating design strategies into a single, cohesive document helping the City of Irvine envision the future of their Great Park. The document provides the City of Irvine with an updated master plan for future planning and implementation.

Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Consider Resolution No. 2024-09 Formalizing Expenditure Plan for March 5, 2024 Election 3/8 percent (0.00375) general sales tax (a transactions and use tax) measure for Fire Resiliency and Vegetation Management
CEQA: Not a Project.

Recommendation: That Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-09 Formalizing Expenditure Plan for the general sales tax on the March 5, 2024 election ballot.

Prepared by: Timothy M. Kiser, City Manager
Council Meeting Date: February 13, 2024 Date Prepared: February 7, 2024 Agenda: Public Hearing
Background Information: On October 24th, 2023, the Grass Valley City Council unanimously passed Resolution No. 2023-62, setting in motion a decision for the community. The resolution calls for an election on March 5, 2024, inviting citizens to consider a 3/8 percent general sales tax (a transactions and use tax) measure aimed at bolstering Fire Resiliency and Vegetation Management. This initiative, encompassed within Ordinance 826, known as the "2023 Grass Valley Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance," is the result of deliberation and community input.

Through a series of City Council Meetings, a comprehensive expenditure plan has been formulated. This plan, outlined below, delineates the utilization of funds should the general sales tax of 0.375% (.00375) be ratified by Grass Valley residents during the upcoming March 5, 2024 Election. Central to this proposal is a sunset clause of 7 years and annual audits, ensuring transparency and accountability in the allocation of resources. Moreover, the establishment of a citizen oversight committee (the “Independent Citizens’ Advisory Committee”) underscores the commitment to prudent stewardship of public funds.

In adherence to the provisions set forth in Ordinance 826, the Grass Valley City Council is obligated to adopt, after a duly noticed public hearing, a definitive plan delineating the allocation of proceeds garnered from the imposed tax. The Independent Citizens’ Advisory Committee reviews the plan at least annually and recommends any changes to the City Council. This commitment to transparency and accountability reflects the City Council's unwavering dedication to serving the best interests of the community. The proposed expenditure plan is attached hereto as Attachment A.

Title: Memorial Park Historic Landmark Plaque
CEQA: The project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by the “common sense” rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

Recommendation: That Council provide staff direction on final language and location of an Historic Landmarks Plaque
Prepared by: Amy Wolfson, City Planner
Council Meeting Date: February 13, 2024 Date Prepared: February 7, 2024 Agenda: Administrative
Background Information: At the November 28, 2023 meeting, City Council directed staff to complete an application to the Nevada County Landmarks Commission for consideration of establishing Memorial Park as an Historic Landmark and authorize the expenditure of up to $2,000 for the erection of a plaque at a centralized location within the park.

The Landmarks Commission has recommended approval of the Landmarks application to the Board of Supervisors. It is anticipated to be on the Board agenda within the next two months.

The current language of the Plaque assumes placement of the plaque at the Centennial Courtyard. However, the Historical Commission ultimately determined that the courtyard location was already too heavily concentrated with plaques and determined the location should be made by City Council. Some locations that Council may consider include the following:
 Mounted on the retaining wall between the pool deck and the parking aisle  Mounted on a granite boulder or drill core:
o At the entrance at Central Avenue
o Within the landscape strip between the pool office and Race Street o Near the entrance of the playground
o Near the softball bleachers
