Transcript:

When they say Palestinian territory, they mean the entire of Israel. Zionists are anyone who is pro-Israel and love Israel, but also mean 9 million Israelis. So when they say, I'm not anti-Semitic, I'm just anti-Zionist, no. Because radical Islam use deceiving words that often Westerners do not understand, the complete nuances and significances and what the enemy of Israel is actually meaning and intending.

And groups like Nevada City for Palestine and Nevada County Peace and Justice stand behind those type of wordings and parroting it in our city councils. They belittle Middle Eastern voices like myself who were born and raised in the conflict because Their media told them to not listen to the Zionists. They ignite and perpetuate hatred, systematically normalizing the humanization of Israelis and Jewish Americans locally. In their crowd, there are many bullies whom for a year and a half now cry to our city council about humanity and how the war between Israel and Hamas is somehow a local issue, convince us that they are on the good side of history, while bullying us, Jewish Middle Eastern locals, in the backstage of their propaganda proPage 12 Item # 3.
2 terrorism show. Free Palestine is a hijacked movement that isn't a grassroots movement, but rather a well-funded jihadist, anti-Semitic organization. It was created by Yasser Arafat, who was an extremist, father of terrorism, who quite literally created the Palestinian cause to be used as a turgen horse against Israel with the sole purpose of igniting and feeding the narrative that Israel has no right to exist and get the world supporting an idea that Israel should be demolished. Is illegal and present a relentlessly false history and distorted truth about Jews and Israelis. For example, Jews aren't European and never were. Our city councils are engaging with a radical Islamist propaganda, with a group of local radicals brainwashed mob who support Hamas out loud and on the podium of our city hall. A recognized terrorist organization surrendering to their request to put on their table a document that was created by a corrupt American Islamist organization CAIR who recently was exposed for receiving funds from well-established terrorist groups as well as under simple research you can find their members also supporting Hamas on all their social media platforms. Several top executives have been convicted of terror-related crimes. As a result, the FBI has publicly announced that it has terminated any outreach activities with the national organization, which bills itself as America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. They are missing $7 million in taxpayer money and cash that is unaccounted for. I really believe that you guys are doing extremely wrong to our community by engaging with these people. And our statement is that we want a resolution of no forging intervention in city politics. Thank you.

Hi. My name is Mark Gold. My wife and I own Goldbush Cookie Company right across the street from City Hall. I received a letter from Waste Management that basically stated that due to a recent audit, they found that we had not been billed for our curbside organics collection for the months of January, February, and March, and that they were going to send as a supplemental bill regarding that. Now I reached out to waste management, spent an hour on the phone with multiple people and in the end they told me that there's nothing they could do about it. So this was a surprise bill, you know, from them. And after finally talking with somebody, they said that it really comes down to the contract and the contract was with the city of Grass Valley.

Now, I'm assuming that I'm not the only person who's affected by this, but effectively what they're saying is that I'm going to have to owe another $204. Now, this is an unexpected bill. I think it's unfair that waste management couldn't get their act together and bill us correctly. And so I'm requesting that the city council talk to the city manager or whoever's responsible for the contract with waste management and

Hello, my name is Jason Miller. I'm a resident at 107 Ventana Ridge Place in Grass Valley, California. And my comment is that I strongly discourage the council from attempting to pass resolutions related to foreign politics. Foreign policy is for the federal government, not the city government. I'm sure there are many local issues with parks, roads, schools, and commerce that need to be addressed. But instead, at the request of Councilman Tom Ivey and seconded by Councilman Joe Bonamolo, we are here to discuss how the city should interpret politics abroad, 4 ,000 miles away. This wastes the city's time and money. Furthermore, the influences that seek to waste our time on this are racist and not only want to discuss what the Jews are doing and only want to discuss what the Jews are doing in the Middle East. This doesn't come from a concern for Muslims, for Muslim women and children. It comes from a racist desire to slander Jews abroad, and now, here at home. How can we see that this is true? Because we're not here to discuss the 1.2 million Muslims who are currently in Chinese concentration camps, or the 400 ,000 Muslims in Yemen who

Page 18 ends

Item # 3.
8 have been starved to death, men, women, and children. We're not here to discuss the 1 ,200 Alawites who were, just a few weeks ago, massacred by Islamist extremists, made to crawl around like dogs while they were butchered in front of their families.

The radical Islamists uploaded those videos to social media just like they did on October 7th. They are proud of it, but we're not here to talk about that, or the one million Afghan refugees who were expelled last year from Pakistan. These are foreign events that nobody wants to discuss. They just want to discuss Israel and what Israel is doing to get their hostages back and secure their borders from those same radical Islamists. It's only news when it's Jews. And in the 1930s, the ***** boycotted Jewish shops and now, unbelievably, similar sentiments are being pushed on the city of Grass Valley. Please, please, I implore you to avoid acting in the same way the ***** did 100 years ago. Grass Valley has always been a place of openness and tolerance, and that should not change now. You will hear from people tonight who proclaim to be Jewish, but I assure you they are no more Jewish than Hunter Biden is Catholic. Do the right thing, stay focused, stay strong, and stay local, please.

My name is Maria Blix. I live at 131 Northridge Drive in Cross Valley. I just am really disappointed in our council members that we would give in to an organization and that there would be monetary support and a decision made to support this Palestinian group that we know very little about, who is leading their charge, you know, who's in charge of them. And it goes beyond our town's jurisdiction. And I just asked that you would do the research with these people, who they're supported by.

From what I understand, they're supported by the Muslim Brotherhood Ultimately, backed by Hamas, they want to boycott Israeli businesses, and their tenants include annihilating the Jewish nation. All I ask is that the Council investigate this group, their sponsors, and where they get their funding. We don't have any business getting

Hi, my name is Amy and I live across the street from the Mill Street parking lot at 326 Mill Street. My house does not have a driveway. I bought my house over six years ago and at that time there was an empty lot across for me and plenty of street parking. Since then the city has built a parking lot in that empty lot and when they did this it took away available street parking for myself and my neighbors. Now there is a lot with no overnight parking and a 3-hour time limit for daytime use. I walk past this parking lot every day and it sits empty quite often. I would like to ask the City Council to consider giving the nearby residents space in the lot to safely park our cars. Thank you.

My name is Elvis and I live across the street from a new parking lot on Mill. I live in one of the three houses that doesn't have a driveway. I love my home and I love Grass Valley. Over the past two years, street parking on Mill has gotten tougher and tougher. I think it would be a grand gesture if the three houses across the street from the parking lot could get one or two permanent parking spots of their very own, either on the street or in the parking lot. I feel it would be easier for you to do this, and a very cool thing for you to do. Thank you for your time. 326 Mohr Street.

The following ongoing activities have been integrated into the Draft FY 2025/26 OWP:

1. State Transportation Improvement Program Projects:

A. SR 49 Corridor Improvement Project from La Barr Meadows Road to McKnight Way:

NCTC will continue to participate with Caltrans District 3 in the preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimates and Right-of-Way for a future construction project. (WE 2.2).

(WE 2.4.2)
D. Rural Counties Task Force Chair Activities & CARL Administration: Starting in July 2024 the NCTC Deputy Executive Director will serve as the Chairman of the Rural Counties Task Force (RCTF). The State of California contains 26 rural counties, which generally have populations of less than 250,000 and do not have a single urbanized area greater than 50,000.

Rural counties provide food, fiber, timber, and mineral products for California industry and residents, as well as recreation for urban residents and tourists. In order to provide a direct opportunity for the small counties to remain informed, have a voice, and become involved with changing statewide transportation policies and programs, a task force was formed in 1988 as a joint effort between the California Transportation Commission (CTC) and the rural counties.

There are 26 rural county Regional Transportation Planning Agencies (RTPAs) or Local Transportation Commissions represented on the Rural Counties Task Force (RCTF). The RCTF is an informal organization with no budget or staff that generally meets every other month. A member of the CTC usually acts as liaison to the RCTF, and CTC and Caltrans staff typically attend these meetings to explain and discuss changing statewide transportation issues that may be of concern to the rural counties.

The California Academy for Regional Leaders (CARL) is a program developed by the California Association of Councils of Governments (CALCOG). The CARL program supports participants in their efforts to strengthen their organizations and increase their personal effectiveness by helping them develop leadership skills, expand their knowledge of

the systems that impact their agencies, and build state-wide professional networks. One of the duties of the RCTF Chairman is to coordinate scholarships to the CARL program, funded with State Regional Planning Assistance funds. (WE 2.4.5) To assist Caltrans in the review of the NCTC FY 2024/25 OWP, staff has included a list of Rural Planning Assistance (RPA) eligible activities in each work element that uses RPA funds.

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 Latino communities. The goal of the SSTAC is to maintain and improve transportation services to the residents of Nevada County, particularly the underserved and under-represented 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, 2024, the population of Nevada County was estimated at 100,177. The largest municipality is Truckee with a population of 16,778, followed by Grass Valley at 13,400 and Nevada City at 3,347. The population of the unincorporated portion of the County was 66,652. The Race and Ethnicity data for Nevada County on Census.gov reported the racial makeup of the county as 83.7% White, followed by 10.2% Hispanic, 1.4% Asian,

1.0% Native American, 0.4% Black or African American, 0.1% Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, and 3.4% Some Other Race. The data at Census.gov indicates that 11% 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 includes specific “Work Elements” that describe the planning projects and associated activities that are to be conducted, and identifies the type of funds that will pay for the expenditures, such as Rural Planning Assistance (RPA), Local Transportation Funds (LTF), Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP), Planning, Programming, and Monitoring (PPM), 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 the framework for NCTC’s 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 work 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), a Facebook page, and a Twitter account 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. Citizens are encouraged to attend and speak at NCTC meetings on any matter included for discussion on the agenda at that meeting. • 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 and numerous public workshops relating to the transportation projects and planning activities of NCTC.
• In accordance with AB52, 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. While there are currently no federally recognized tribes located within Nevada County, NCTC consults with the Native American Heritage Commission to identify Native American tribal organizations with historic or cultural interests regarding lands in Nevada County. These groups include but are not limited to the Nisenan of the Nevada City Rancheria and United Auburn Indian Community (UAIC). • NCTC consults with USDA Forest Service Tahoe National Forest and Bureau of Land Management.

Regional Issues, Needs, and Goals
The main transportation issues in western Nevada County are related to providing adequate multimodal transportation 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 TruckeeNorth Tahoe area. In addition to discretionary recreation demand travel, high housing costs have increased daily commuter trips into and out of the Truckee/North Tahoe region. To address these issues requires a multimodal and multijurisdictional 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 2020 Census reported that approximately 28.5% of the county population was over 65 years of age, between 2010 and 2020 that population increased from 19.6% to 28.5%, and it is projected that by 2030 this population is expected to increase to over 40%. 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 local, 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, including zero-emission bus fleets and charging technology
• High cost of housing and short-term rentals increasing commute trips and distances • Improvements to the regional transportation system to ensure safe and efficient emergency evacuation
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 multimodal transportation system; 4) Create and maintain a comprehensive, multi-modal transportation system to serve the needs of the County.

NCTC 2025/26 Draft Overall Work Program – March 2025 14 WORK ELEMENT 2 - REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING (continued) Project 2.3.4 – Reenvisioning Transit in Western Nevada County/Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA)
Purpose: The Reenvisioning Transit in Western Nevada County / Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) will comprehensively review the existing transit services offered and identify areas and opportunities to transition to alternative operating models to provide greater system efficiency and ridership benefits. Similar to many other transit systems across the nation, Nevada County Connects (fixed route transit service) has not rebounded from the impacts of the COVID 19 Pandemic and it is imperative to identify the most cost effective and efficient services with the limited operational funding streams available to meet the needs of the residents and visitors of Western Nevada County. NCTC will manage this study in coordination with Nevada County Connects, the Cities of Nevada City and Grass Valley, key stakeholders, and residents to capture the vision that most successfully explores the relationships between effective transit and land-use, population growth and employment patterns, as well as social equity and areas of high transit need. The COA will generate recommendations based on extensive data analysis, public outreach, and industry best practices for deploying various public transportation modes and integrating with the Statewide Transit and Rail Plans, and the COA shall consider an entire spectrum of service options ranging from minor modifications to a full “reset” of the system. These options may include traditional fixed route service, dial-a-ride service, micro-transit service, micromobility options, and/or a combination to address the challenges of meeting the transit needs outside the fixed route/ADA service areas and outlying communities.

• 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.

• Alternative fuels and vehicles
• Congestion reduction and traffic flow improvements
• Transit improvements
• Bicycle and pedestrian facilities
• Public education and outreach
• Diesel engine retrofits
• Carpooling and vanpooling
Projects are submitted by local jurisdictions for consideration and are ranked based on air quality benefits and project readiness. NCTC then reviews the ranking and chooses projects to be funded.

Corridor System Management Plan (CSMP): Foundational documents supporting a partnership-based, integrated management of all travel modes (cars, trucks, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians) and infrastructure (highways, roads, rail tracks, information systems and bike routes) so that mobility along a corridor is provided in the most efficient and effective manner possible.

Federal Highway Administration (FHWA): An agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation that supports state and local governments in the design, construction, and maintenance of the Nation's highway system (Federal Aid Highway Program) and various federally and tribal owned lands (Federal Lands).

The plan serves as a tool for use by the NCALUC in fulfilling its duty to review airport and adjacent land use development proposals.

Additionally, the plan sets compatibility criteria applicable to local agencies and their preparation or amendment of land use plans and ordinances and to land owners in their design of new developments.

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 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

• Establish fares;
• Adopt the level of transit and paratransit services, including route structure and service areas; • Monitor public response;
• Approve proposed purchase of additional vehicles;
• Review and approve the annual budget for transit and paratransit operations.

Transportation Development Act (TDA): The Transportation Development Act was enacted in 1971 and provides two major sources of funding for public transportation: the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and the State Transit Assistance fund (STA). The TDA funds a wide variety of transportation programs, including planning and programming activities, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, community transit services, and public transportation projects. One of NCTC’s major responsibilities is the administration of TDA funding in Nevada County.

Travel Demand Model (also Traffic Model): A computer model used to estimate travel behavior and travel demand for a specific future time frame, based on a number of assumptions. In general, travel analysis is performed to assist decision makers in making informed transportation planning decisions.

The strength of modern travel demand forecasting is the ability to ask critical “what if” questions about proposed plans and policies.

Truckee North Tahoe Transportation Management Association (TNT/TMA): The Truckee North Tahoe Transportation Management Association is dedicated to fostering public-private partnerships and resources for the advocacy and promotion of innovative solutions to the unique transportation challenges of the Truckee-North Lake Tahoe Resort Triangle. The TNT/TMA is a planning stakeholder and partner with NCTC.

Truckee Tahoe Airport Land Use Commission (TTALUC): The Truckee Tahoe Airport is an "intercounty" airport situated in both Nevada County and Placer County; therefore, a special ALUC with representatives from both counties was formed. Six members are selected, one each, by Placer and Nevada Counties' Board of Supervisors,City SelectionCommittees, and Airport Managers of each county.

A seventh member is chosen by the other six members to represent the general public. NCTC authorized its staff on May 19, 2010, to provide staff support to the TTALUC.

Truckee Tahoe Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (TTALUCP): A document referred to by the TTALUC and individuals seeking to review standards for land use planning in the vicinity of the Truckee Tahoe Airport.

City Council
Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Purchase of a Pierce Manufacturing 107’ Ascendant Aerial Ladder Truck CEQA: Not a Project
Recommendation: That 1) Council direct the Fire Chief to enter into an agreement with Pierce Manufacturing for one 107’ Ascendant Aerial Ladder Truck, subject to legal review; 2) Direct the Finance Director to make necessary budget adjustments in the 2025/2026 Fiscal Year Budget.

Prepared by: Mark Buttron- Fire Chief
Council Meeting Date: 04/08/2025 Date Prepared: 04/01/2025 Agenda: Consent
Background Information:

Grass Valley operates the only Ladder Truck in Western Nevada County servicing all fire agencies and communities with its specialized capabilities. A ladder truck differs from a fire engine most notably by the 100 ft ladder on top of the vehicle essential for accessing multi story occupancies for fire and rescue emergencies, providing elevated water streams, and providing tools and equipment for complex incidents as seen at the Everhart Fire in 2024. Ladder Trucks generally have a 20 year service history with some used in a reserve status once being removed from front line service. In 2010 the city, through a series of grants, a bequest, and impact fees, purchased a ladder truck due to the limited capability of the previous ladder truck and its excessive maintenance history. This new truck was manufactured in 2009 as a demonstration model that toured the Country prior to our purchase. The truck has serviced the City well although its operational window and maintenance issues have shown the need for increased performance now available through technology and manufacturing advancements.

In 2023 staff request approval to enter into a contract with Fire Apparatus Solutions, the KME authorized dealer for California, for one new ladder truck in the amount of $2,151,138.36. At time of request current build times for fire apparatus, including a new truck, were estimated at a minimum of 3 years for delivery. Additionally, entering into that contract saved the city a known cost increase of $106,897 on December 1st as well annual increases over the course of the agreement. The new ladder truck, assuming a 3 year build, would be delivered when the current truck is 16 years in service and 17 years on the road.

Page 97 ends

Item # 9.

The City has been presented with a unique opportunity to acquire a fire apparatus through Pierce Manufacturing’s Dealer Allocated Stock Slot (DAS) program. Since the signing of our previous contract with KME, this opportunity provides the potential to enhance operational efficiency and realize cost savings while meeting our agency's specific needs.

Key Advantages of the Pierce DAS Program:

1. Reduced Delivery Time: The proposed Pierce 107’ Ascendant Aerial Ladder Truck has an estimated build time of 11 to 13 months from the contract date, significantly shorter than the delivery timeline for the contracted KME vehicle.

2. Cost Savings: The truck is priced at $2,025,467.65, representing a savings of $125,607.71 compared to the current KME contract.

3. Enhanced Features: The DAS truck is equipped with all-wheel steering, providing superior maneuverability and agility with an improved turning radius—an invaluable feature for urban and complex emergency operations.

4. Simplified Configuration: While the DAS program provides a stock vehicle with limited customization options, staff has reviewed the specifications and confirmed that the vehicle meets the operational needs of the City.

Staff seeks approval to:
 Enter into a contract with Pierce Manufacturing for the 107’ Ascendant Aerial Ladder Truck under the DAS program.
 Collaborate with the City Attorney to seek relief from the existing KME contract prior to signing with Pierce.

This program operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and the contract must be finalized by April 30, 2025, to secure the opportunity.

We believe this acquisition will enhance the Fire Department's response capabilities while achieving fiscal efficiency. Your approval of this request is respectfully recommended.

Financial Summary:
 Pierce DAS Program Cost: $2,025,467.65
 Current KME Contract Cost: $2,151,138.36
 Savings: $125,607.71
Upon arrival of the new truck, the old truck will be sold with proceeds returned to fund balance.

Council Goals/Objectives: Exceptional Public Safety consistent with the City of Grass Valley Strategic Plan

Item # 9.

Fiscal Impact: The Ladder Truck purchase will be funded with Measure E funding which has been forecasted for expenditure / appropriation in FY 2025-26; and available fund balances expected to accrue over the next three years.

2. Purchase and Payment.

The Grand Total Purchase Price is payable in U.S. dollars. b. Contingency Reserve Fund. The Grand Total Purchase Price may include an amount to be set aside for the purpose of funding any future costs or financial obligations incurred by Customer under the Product Proposal or any valid Change Order(s) (the “Contingency Reserve Fund”).

Item # 9.
2 Customer within thirty (30) calendar days of delivery of all Products under the Agreement (provided that Customer has paid all amounts owed under the Agreement as of such date). c. Prepayment Discount. If GSFA has granted Customer a Prepayment Discount, Customer must provide each associated prepayment (each, a “Prepayment”) within the time frame specified in the Product Proposal in order to receive such discount. Customer’s failure to timely make such Prepayment may result in: (i) GSFA’s termination of the Agreement; and/or (ii) Customer’s loss of the Prepayment Discount for the portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price represented by such outstanding Prepayment and the application of a late fee as set forth in Section 6, in each case in GSFA’s sole discretion.
d. State Sales Tax. Customer shall be responsible for the cost of state sales tax associated with, or attributable to, the Product. The taxes stated in the Product Proposal are subject to adjustment for the applicable state sales tax rate in effect at the time of delivery. Therefore, the sales tax set forth on the Product Proposal is only an estimate of such taxes and will be increased or decreased at the time of delivery if a change in the applicable sales tax rate has occurred, in which case Customer shall pay GSFA (or be refunded by GSFA) the difference in the applicable sales tax.

3. Product Completion Date. Within thirty (30) calendar days of the date on which the last required signatory executes the Product Proposal (such date, the “Executed Date”), GSFA shall submit to Customer a tentative Product completion date (which may differ from the Product completion estimate contained in the Product Proposal).

Customer shall not be entitled to rely on any such estimate, and GSFA shall have no liability to Customer for a failure by GSFA or Manufacturer to meet any such estimate. All Product completion estimates are subject to modification and, if applicable, GSFA will provide updates to such estimates to Customer when available.

4. Stock / Demo Units. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Agreement (including Section 12 hereof concerning warranties), any Products constituting stock/demo unit(s) are sold to Customer on an as-is, first-come and first served-basis and GSFA makes no further representation or warranty to any customer with respect to such unit(s). Regardless of the terms of the Product Proposal, GSFA shall only be obligated to sell such stock/demo unit(s) to the first customer to enter into a purchase agreement with GSFA identifying such unit(s), and after the execution by GSFA of such agreement any subsequent purchase agreement (including the Agreement, as applicable) shall have no further force or effect with respect to such unit(s).

5. Multiple Unit Purchase. If the Grand Total Purchase Price includes pricing for multiple Products, the Product price stated in the Product Proposal shall only be valid if the quantity of Products being proposed are purchased at the same time, pursuant to the same Agreement. GSFA shall have no obligation to offer the same price for any Product if purchased by Customer pursuant to a later purchase agreement.

6. Late Fee; Storage Fee. A late fee equal to 0.033% of the outstanding portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price will be charged per calendar day for overdue payments beginning ten (10) calendar days after the payment is due and continuing for the first thirty (30) calendar days thereafter. After such thirty (30) calendar day period, the late fee shall increase to 0.044% per calendar day until payment of the outstanding portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price is received. If Customer is unable to satisfy the delivery requirements hereunder or is unwilling to take delivery of the Product, then GSFA shall be entitled to a storage charge running from the earlier of: (i) the date of delivery agreed to between GSFA and Customer (provided GSFA is willing and able to deliver the Product on such date), or (ii) twenty-one (21) calendar days after GSFA notifies Customer that the Product is available for delivery. The storage charge is equal to: (i) $175.00 per calendar day per apparatus stored, or (ii) the actual charges incurred by GSFA with a third party for storage of the Product, whichever is greater.

Item # 9.
3 7. Delivery; Inspection and Acceptance.
a. Delivery. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Product is scheduled to be delivered to the location and within the time period specified in the Product Proposal. Such delivery date is an estimate, and GSFA is, notwithstanding this Section 7.a, not bound to such date unless it otherwise agrees in a separate writing to complete delivery by a date certain. For the avoidance of doubt, GSFA is not responsible for delivery delays caused by or because of actions, omissions or conduct of Customer, the Manufacturer, or their respective employees, affiliates, suppliers, contractors, and carriers. Risk of loss for the Product shall pass to Customer at the point and time of delivery (which shall include an attempted delivery by GSFA which cannot be completed due to any act of Customer). However, title to the Product shall only pass to Customer upon delivery if Customer has then fully paid GSFA all amounts due hereunder (including additional amounts due under any valid Change Order). Absent GSFA’s separate written agreement, which it may or may not provide in its sole and absolute discretion, delivery of the Product will not occur before Customer has fully paid all amounts due under the Agreement and provided proof of insurance reasonably satisfactory to GSFA. If GSFA permits Customer to take possession of the Product, Customer may not mount equipment, conduct training, or place the Product into service until all amounts due under the Agreement have been paid. If Customer has ordered multiple Products, GSFA reserves the right to deliver such Products in installments and to separately invoice Customer for such Products.
b. Inspection and Acceptance. Upon delivery, Customer shall have ten (10) calendar days within which to inspect the Product for substantial conformance to the Specifications, and in the event of substantial nonconformance to the Specifications to furnish GSFA with written notice sufficient to permit GSFA to evaluate such non-conformance (“Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications”). Contingent upon part availability and Customer’s cooperation, any Product not in substantial conformance to material Specifications shall be remedied by GSFA (by repair or replacement, at GSFA’s election) within thirty (30) calendar days from GSFA’s receipt of the Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications. In the event GSFA does not receive a Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications within ten (10) calendar days of delivery, the Product will be deemed to be in conformance with Specifications and accepted by Customer.

8. Changes to Agreement Terms.
a. Change Orders. The Customer may request that GSFA incorporate a change to the Product or the Specifications for the Product, or GSFA may submit changes to the Agreement required or permitted to be made by GSFA (pursuant to Section 8.b or otherwise) by delivering a written Change Order to the other party hereto, which shall include a description of the proposed change sufficient to permit the receiving party to evaluate such change (either, a “Change Order”). For any Change Order submitted by Customer, GSFA will provide Customer a written response (a “Response”) stating (i) whether GSFA will accommodate such Change Order (which GSFA may decide in its sole and absolute discretion); and (ii) the terms of the modification to the order, including any increase or decrease in the Grand Total Purchase Price resulting from such Change Order, a date on which any increase in the Grand Total Purchase Price must be paid, and an estimate of any effect on production scheduling or delivery resulting from such Change Order. Customer shall have seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the Response to notify GSFA as to whether Customer desires to make the changes GSFA has approved in the Response. In the event Customer countersigns GSFA’s Response, Customer shall pay the increase (or be refunded the decrease) in the Grand Total Purchase Price by the date specified in the Response. GSFA may also send Customer a Change Order to account for any changes to the Agreement required or permitted to be made by GSFA (including those changes required pursuant to Section 8.b hereof), and such Change Order shall be effective upon delivery to Customer unless Customer elects to terminate the applicable Product order under the Agreement in accordance with Section 9. b. Additional Changes.
i. Component Price Volatility; Increases Imposed by Manufacturer. GSFA shall not be responsible for (i) any unforeseen price increase or surcharge enacted by suppliers of major components of the Product (including but not limited to commercial chassis, engine, transmission, and fire pump); or (ii) price increases imposed on GSFA by Manufacturer pursuant to Manufacturer’s terms and conditions for sale of the Product (a “Manufacturer

Page 112 ends

Item # 9.
4 Price Increase”), after Customer becomes bound by the Agreement. Customer shall be responsible for all amounts arising from any price increases for major components of the Product (including all associated taxes and fees thereon) for the Product or any Manufacturer Price Increases occurring after the execution of the Agreement which increases the cost of the Product to GSFA, and such amounts will be documented on a Change Order adjusting the Grand Total Purchase Price accordingly. Customer shall pay any such price increase prior to Product delivery. A Manufacturer Price Increase may include, but shall not be limited to, an increase in Product price resulting from an increase in the Producer Price Index of Components for Manufacturing (see www.bls.gov Series ID: WPUID6112) in excess of a compounded annual growth rate of five percent (5%), as measured between the month Manufacturer accepts the applicable Product order and the month that is fourteen (14) months prior to the then-current estimated Product completion date (the foregoing, a “PPI-Based Price Increase”). If, upon Customer’s receipt of a Change Order reflecting a PPI-Based Price Increase, Customer elects to terminate the applicable Product Order in accordance with Section 8.b.iii rather than pay such increase, then in lieu of the cancellation fees described in Section 9.a hereof GSFA shall be entitled to recover and Customer shall pay GSFA’s actual non-reimbursable costs incurred in connection with the Product order through the date of Customer’s termination of such Product order. ii. New Legal Standards. In the event the Product design, materials or specifications require an alteration arising from new regulations issued by any governmental entity or trade association, including, but not limited to, the NFPA, DOT, and EPA, and such alteration increases the cost of the Product to GSFA, Customer shall be responsible for changes to the Grand Total Purchase Price arising from such alteration. GSFA shall promptly notify Customer when it becomes aware of any potential or required change in regulations occurring prior to delivery that would impact the Product purchased.
iii. Change Orders. Customer shall execute any Change Order submitted by GSFA documenting any of the changes required or permitted by Sections 8.b.i and 8.b.ii above (which shall, to the extent practicable, itemize any increases in the Grant Total Purchase Price and specify a commercially reasonable date by which Customer must pay such increase), unless Customer instead elects to terminate the applicable Product order under the Agreement within fifteen (15) calendar days of Customer’s receipt of such Change Order and in accordance with Section 9.

Absent such a termination, failure to execute a Change Order does not alter Customer’s obligations under this Section 8.b.
c. Changes in Commercial Specifications. Specifications for all components of the Product manufactured by companies other than the Manufacturer are subject to change without notice. Specifications for such components will be as available at the time of manufacture of the Product. GSFA shall not be liable for any deviations in such specifications arising from a substitution of components or changes in the design of any component by their original manufacturer.

9. Termination.
a. By Customer. Customer may terminate a Product order identified in the Product Proposal or a Change Order by providing written notice to GSFA in accordance with Section 16 hereof. If Customer elects to terminate a Product order, Customer shall pay GSFA a cancellation fee as follows: (a) after the Product order is accepted and entered by GSFA, 10% of the portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price applicable to such Product (including all associated taxes, fees and costs) (such amount, the “Product Purchase Price”); (b) after completion of the preconstruction phase of the order process, 20% of the Product Purchase Price; and (c) after the requisition of any materials or commencement of any manufacturing or assembly of the Product by either GSFA or Manufacturer but before substantial completion of such Product, 50% of the Product Purchase Price. Customer shall not be permitted to terminate a Product order after substantial completion of manufacturing and assembly of such Product (excluding any Dealer Preparation or other pre-delivery services or untypical Product customization, if applicable).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable tier of cancellation fee is not sufficient to cover all actual costs and fees incurred by GSFA with Manufacturer in connection with Customer’s termination of the Product order (“Manufacturer Termination Fees”), then in addition to such cancellation fee Customer shall pay the balance of all Manufacturer Termination Fees. If Customer received a Prepayment Discount, such discount shall not be considered for the purpose of calculating the above cancellation fee. The tier of cancellation fee applicable to any cancellation,

Page 113 ends

Item # 9.
5 as well as the determination of whether a Product has reached substantial completion, shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of GSFA. Customer may request a fee waiver, and GSFA, in its sole discretion, may agree to waive and/or adjust such fee. GSFA will return the balance of the Grand Total Purchase Price or Product Purchase Price, as applicable, within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of the cancellation of the Product order or termination of the Agreement.

Customer may terminate the Agreement for an Event of Default by GSFA after providing GSFA with written notice in accordance with Section 16 (which notice shall describe with reasonably particularity the Event of Default justifying such termination) if such Event of Default remains uncured (if capable of cure) thirty (30) days following GSFA’s receipt of such notice; provided, however, that the foregoing cure period shall continue if and for so long as GSFA has commenced and is continuing to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Event of Default as promptly as reasonably practicable.
b. By GSFA. GSFA may terminate the Agreement for an Event of Default by Customer after providing Customer with written notice in accordance with Section 16 (which notice shall describe with reasonably particularity the Event of Default justifying such termination) if such Event of Default remains uncured (if capable of cure) thirty (30) days following Customer’s receipt of such notice; provided, however, that the foregoing cure period shall continue if and for so long as Customer has commenced and is continuing to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Event of Default as promptly as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GSFA may terminate the Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to Customer for Customer’s failure to pay any amount owed under the Agreement when due.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Customer terminates a Product order in accordance with Section 9.a above, GSFA may elect to instead terminate the Agreement upon notice to Customer in accordance with Section 16 hereof. If GSFA terminates the Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.b, Customer shall pay the applicable tier of cancellation fee for all Products pursuant to Section 9.a above as if Customer had elected to terminate each applicable Product order.
c. Based on Discontinuation or Cancellation by Manufacturer. In the event that Manufacturer cancels a Product order (provided that such cancellation is not the result of an act by Customer in violation of the Agreement) or discontinues the manufacture of a Product prior to its completion and delivery: (i) if such Product is the only Product contemplated under the Agreement, then the Agreement shall terminate; or (ii) if additional Products are contemplated under the Agreement, then only the Product order for the applicable cancelled or discontinued Product shall be terminated. Such Agreement termination or Product termination, as applicable, shall be effective upon GSFA’s written notice to Customer of such cancellation or discontinuance in accordance with Section 16 hereof.

GSFA’s only obligation to Customer in such event shall be the return of any Prepayment paid by Customer for the cancelled or discontinued Product. For the avoidance of doubt, the cancellation fees contemplated in Section 9.a hereof shall not apply in the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 9.c.

10. Customer’s Obligations. Customer shall provide its timely and best efforts to cooperate with GSFA and Manufacturer during the Product manufacturing process. Reasonable and timely cooperation includes, without limitation, Customer’s providing timely information in response to any requests from Manufacturer or GSFA and the participation of Customer’s authorized representatives in traveling to Manufacturer’s facility for inspections and approval of the Product, including a final approval before the Product leaves Manufacturer’s facility.

11. Representations and Warranties. Customer hereby represents and warrants to GSFA as of the Executed Date that the execution of the Agreement and the purchase of the Product(s) and performance of the other obligations of Customer under the Agreement have been approved by Customer in accordance with applicable general laws and, as applicable, Customer’s charter, ordinances, purchasing policies, and other governing documents, and executed by the appropriate Customer employees, officials, and/or representatives, and funding for Customer’s performance of its obligations under the Agreement has been duly budgeted and appropriated by Customer.

IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED.

STATEMENTS MADE BY SALES CONSULTANTS OR IN PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS DO NOT CONSTITUTE WARRANTIES. b. Exclusions of Incidental and Consequential Damages. In no event shall GSFA be liable for consequential, incidental, or punitive damages incurred by Customer in connection with any matter arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or the breach thereof, even if GSFA has been advised of the possibility of such damages, and regardless of whether such damages arise out of breach of warranty, the Agreement, indemnity, whether resulting from nondelivery or from GSFA’s own negligence, or otherwise, except and solely to the extent such damages arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of GSFA.

14. Indemnification of GSFA. Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GSFA, its agents, servants, successors and assigns from and against all losses, damages, injuries, claims, demands and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, of whatever nature (“Damages”), to the extent Damages arise out of or in connection with: (i) Customer’s breach of the Agreement, or (ii) Customer’s use, storage, or operation of the Product following delivery, regardless of where, how, and by whom operated (excluding any negligent operation by GSFA).

The indemnification and assumptions of liability and obligation herein provided shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of the Agreement, whether by expiration of time, by operation of law or otherwise.

This provision is not intended to and shall not constitute the exclusive remedy of the Parties under the Agreement; the Parties may seek indemnity from one another under other legal principles, whether based in equity or law, so long as they do not nullify or cancel the effects of this paragraph.

0766640 Boiler Plates, Aerial 107' ASL

Golden State Fire Apparatus Inc is pleased to submit a proposal to City of Grass Valley Fire Department for a Pierce® 107' Heavy Duty Aerial Ladder per your request for quotation. The following paragraphs will describe in detail the apparatus, construction methods, and equipment proposed. This proposal will indicate size, type, model and make of components parts and equipment, providing proof of compliance with each and every item (except where noted) in the departments advertised specifications.

PIERCE MANUFACTURING was founded in 1913. Since then, we have been building bodies with one philosophy, "BUILD THE FINEST". Our skilled craftsmen take pride in their work, which is reflected, in the final product. We have been building fire apparatus since the early "forties" giving Pierce Manufacturing over 75 years of experience in the fire apparatus market. Pierce Manufacturing has built and put into service more than 62,500 apparatus, including more than 33,900 on Pierce custom chassis designed and built specifically for fire and emergency applications. Our Appleton, Wisconsin facility has over 870,000 total square feet of floor space situated on approximately 105 acres of land. Our Bradenton, Florida facility has 300,000 square feet of floor space situated on approximately 38 acres of land.

Our beliefs in high ethical standards are carried through in all of our commitments and to everyone with whom we do business. Honesty, Integrity, Accountability and Citizenship are global tenets by which we all live and work. Consequently, we neither engage in, nor have we ever been convicted of price fixing, bid rigging, or collusion in any domestic or international fire apparatus market.

Pierce has only one brand of fire apparatus "Pierce", ensuring you are receiving top of the line product that meets your specification.

In accordance with the current edition of applicable NFPA standards, this proposal will specify whether the fire department, manufacturer, or apparatus dealership will provide required loose equipment.

Images and illustrative material in this proposal are as accurate as known at the time of publication, but are subject to change without notice. Images and illustrative material is for reference only, and may include optional equipment and accessories and may not include all standard equipment.

GENERAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
To control quality, ensure compatibility, and provide a single source for service and warranty, the custom cab, chassis, pump module and body will be entirely designed, assembled/welded and painted in Pierce owned manufacturing facilities. This includes, but not limited to the cab weldment, the pumphouse module assembly, the chassis assembly, the body and the electrical system.

QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP
Pierce has set the pace for quality and workmanship in the fire apparatus field. Our tradition of building the highest quality units with craftsmen second to none has been the rule right from the beginning and we demonstrate that ongoing commitment by: Ensuring all steel welding follows American Welding Society D1.1-2004 recommendations for structural steel welding. All aluminum welding follows American Welding society and ANSI D1.2-2003 requirements for structural welding of aluminum. All sheet metal welding follows American welding Society B2.1-2000 requirements for structural welding of sheet metal. Our flux core arc welding uses alloy rods, type 7000 and is performed to American Welding Society standards A5.20-E70T1. Furthermore, all employees classified as welders are tested and certified to meet the American welding Society codes upon hire and every three (3) years thereafter. Pierce also employs and American Welding Society certified welding inspector in plant during working hours to monitor weld quality.

Pierce Manufacturing operates a Quality Management System under the requirements of ISO 9001. These standards sponsored by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specify the quality systems that are established by the manufacturer for design, manufacture, installation and service. A copy of the certificate of compliance is included with this proposal.

In addition to the Quality Management system, we also employ a Quality Achievement Supplier program to insure the vendors and suppliers that we utilize meet the high standards we demand.

That is just part of our overall "Quality at the Source" program at Pierce.

To demonstrate the quality of our products and services, a list of at least five (5) fire departments/municipalities that have purchased vehicles for a second time is provided.
