Attached you will find the monthly statistical crime report for December 2022 for the Nevada City Police department. For the month of December, the agency saw an overall decrease in most criminally tracked activity from previous months. This is common for law enforcement during the winter months.
For the coming months, we anticipate an increase in traffic collisions related to the weather. The Nevada City Police Department would like to remind everybody to drive safely and be cognizant of road conditions. Police personnel will also be increased traffic enforcement operations during the winter months to address safety concerns.
Victorian Christmas took place during the month of December and was a great success. I am happy to report that we experienced no major complications or critical events. NCPD would like to thank the Chamber of Commerce for the excellent partnership and congratulate them on a successful event.
Nevada City Police Department (NCPD) will always be available for comments and will notify the council of any concerns.

At the October 26, 2022, Regular City Council meeting, the City Council approved the Business Development and Sustainability Fee Waiver Program that was requested through City Council process and the development of the City’s Strategic Plan.

Eligible applicants include existing businesses operating in good standing in Nevada City with a current business license in the City.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
The Business Development and Sustainability Fee Waiver Program was created consistent with the strategic initiative of Business: Business, Industry, and Cannabis Support.

MEETING OF: January 11, 2022 Agenda Item No. 10
Subject: Conduct a Public Hearing in Consideration of
Ordinance No. 2023-01: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Nevada City, State of California, Amending Chapter
10.28 (“Stopping, Standing, and Parking”) of Title 10
(“Vehicles and Traffic”) of the City of Nevada City Municipal Code Relating to Parking Bail Schedule; Amending Chapter
13.04 (“Water System”) of Title 13 (“Public Services”) of the City of Nevada City Municipal Code Relating to Water
Connection Fees; Amending Chapter 13.08 (“Sewer System”) of Title 13 (“Public Services”) of the City of Nevada City Municipal Code Relating to Sewer Connection Fees; and
Amending Chapter 17.40 (“GB General Business Zone”) of
Title 17 (“Zoning”) of the City of Nevada City Municipal Code Relating to Conditional Use Permit Fees for Ground Level Offices;
and
Consideration of Resolution No. 2023-02: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Nevada City, California, Amending the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Citywide Master Fee Schedule In Relation to the Ordinance Updates
From: Sean Grayson, City Manager
Date: January 5, 2023
Reviewed & Approved:
City Manager:
City Attorney:
Recommended Action: Hold first reading, waive reading of Ordinance in its entirety, read by title only, and schedule for second reading and adoption for January 25, 2023; adopt the fee resolution.
ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:
In order to provide transparency and ease of access to fees assessed by the City, a Citywide Master Fee Schedule was adopted in conjunction with the fiscal year 2022/2023 budget on June 22, 2022. The City Council has taken action by resolution and ordinance to add additional fees since then including fees for:
film permits, scattering of cremated human remains, parklet dining encroachment permits, and sidewalk dining encroachment permits. The majority of the Nevada City Municipal Code prescribes that fees within the various chapters be established by resolution of the City Council however four sections list the specific fee within the municipal code and therefor cannot be changed other than by ordinance change. In order to align all fees as established by resolution of the City Council, this omnibus ordinance amendment is recommended.
Chapter 10.25 of the municipal code contains fines for vehicle code violations within the City; Chapter
13.04 of the municipal code contains fees for water connection charges within the City; Chapter 13.08 of the municipal code contains fees for sewer connection charges within the City; and Chapter 17.40 of the municipal code contains fees for application for a ground level office within the general business district within the City. Adoption of ordinance 2023-01 will amend each chapter to reflect that the related fees be set by resolution of the City Council.
Resolution 2023-02 would adopt a new Citywide Master Fee Schedule for fiscal year 2022/2023. The changes would be effective February 25, 2023, at the same time Ordinance 2023-01 would take effect.
The only change in the fee schedule relative to Ordinance 2023-01 would be a new bail schedule for fees associated with parking violations; there are no changes to the fees for parking meters. Similarly, there are no changes to the fees for water connections, sewer connections, or ground level offices in the general business district.
The Police Chief has determined that Nevada City has the lowest bail schedule in the surrounding area with the average parking violation ticket being $38. Of that $38 the City pays $12 to the County of Nevada for county and state fees related to ticketing and $1 to Data Ticket the City’s ticketing software provider. If the ticket is delinquent the fee payable to Data Ticket once collected is 33% of the face value of the ticket; this is the basis for the increased bail fee for delinquent tickets. The proposed bail schedule would increase most parking violations to $50 which would still be at or below adjacent jurisdictions fees.
FINANCIAL AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
There is an approximate $15,000 annual anticipated increase in revenue associated with the increase in parking violation fines.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
This action, reporting on the program, is consistent with the embedded strategic initiative of Engagement:
Community engagement and communications with stakeholders.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:
None.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: January 11, 2022 Agenda Item No. 11
Subject: Consideration of Resolution No. 2023-03: A
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Nevada City, California, Ratifying Proclamation No. 2023-01 of the City Manager Acting is His Role as the Director of Civil Defense and Disaster Declaring an Emergency Due to the December 27, 2022, Winter Storms
From: Sean Grayson, City Manager
Date: January 5, 2023
Reviewed & Approved:
City Manager:
City Attorney:
Recommended Action: Adopt the resolution.
ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:
On January 5, 2023, I City Manager Sean Grayson issued, acting in my capacity as Director of Civil Defense and Disaster for the City, a proclamation declaring the existence of a local emergency due to the impacts of the winter storm that began on December 27, 2022, and has continued through the declaration of the emergency.
This region, while it does rain frequently and snow occasionally, experienced a winter storm beginning December 31, 2022, that was significantly more severe than what is normally seen in the area in terms of the high volume of snow and rain in a short period of time. The impacts to the city included a large number of fallen trees and limbs damaging infrastructure, blocking city streets and sidewalks, and creating safety hazards. The City’s water and wastewater treatment facilities operated intermittently on generator power and experienced an inundation of debris and rocks causing operations impacts and damage to infrastructure.
Power, phone, and internet, were lost throughout multiple locations in the region and within the city limits.
The resolution is needed to assure that the means exist to address situations as they arise as well as to be able to submit for reimbursement of costs incurred in addressing the storm impacts.
Nevada County Office of Emergency Services (OES) was provided initial damage assessment information and notified of the emergency proclamation on January 5, 2023. At that time it was anticipated that the County would not declare a countywide local emergency. The county’s decisions should not have impact on the City’s action and both entities would have access to California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) funding where eligible based upon the state proclamation.
FINANCIAL AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
None with the adoption of the resolution. Ratification of the proclamation by adoption of the resolution may allow for the City to submit requests for reimbursement of costs associated with the storm through state and federal programs. Staff is in the process of making damage assessments along with cost estimates.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
This action is consistent with the embedded strategic initiative of Engagement: Community engagement and communications with stakeholders.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:
None.
LEGAL REVIEW:
City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.

Year In Review 2022 Overview: Message from the City Manager I am honored to share a high-level review of the activities and accomplishments of Team Nevada City in 2022. The focus of this document is on highlighting the actions that go beyond the routine activities and functions of local government while also sharing common comparable metrics such hour of training or gallons of potable water treated.
The City of Nevada City in many ways outperforms other cities for work productivity. Half of the City’s departments (City Manager, Planning, Engineering, Parks and Recreation) operate as an army of one. The remaining departments (Finance and Administration, Fire Department, Police Department, Public Works, and Water/Wastewater) have a high output level relative to the low staffing levels. As an example, the Public Works team of five maintenance workers performs all of the activities that would commonly be assigned to separate crews for the disciplines of facility maintenance, streets, water/wastewater infrastructure, and parks/open space maintenance. One impediment to the productivity is an antiquate technology system for finance and records. While this will be corrected in 2023, the actions highlighted in this report detail the exemplary service of the team with the impediment still present in 2022.
This document identifies accomplishments by department. I cannot emphasize enough that no individual is responsible for the actions of a department (even if it is a department of one). All work in the City is dependent upon or enhanced by the support of other City departments. While full credit goes to the City Council for their leadership and drive to improve our City, an equally big thanks goes to all of the employees that make up Team Nevada City.
This report is not to suggest that there is not room for improvement, far from it. The missing puzzle piece in the accomplishments of the Team Nevada City, is connectivity to a comprehensive plan. 2022 culminated with the adoption of the City’s Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan is this missing puzzle piece that will allow the community and City Council to identify and prioritize the work of the City in future years. Similarly, the Strategic Plan will allow me to develop objectives and performance metrics for the City and its departments that will be the basis for accomplishment reporting in the future.

STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS
What is Strategic Planning?
There are a multitude of definitions for strategic planning. For reference in the City of Nevada City process used the following:
A continuous and systematic process where the guiding members of an organization make decisions about its future, develop the necessary procedures and operations to achieve that future, and determine how success is to be measured.
A strategic plan is not the destination (or desired outcome), rather it is the vehicle that can take the City to its destination. Planning is not action, and a strategic plan should not be viewed as a goal, but as a process that leads to action.
When some is leaving their house to go somewhere they generally need two things: a destination or where they want to go and a path of travel or directions. Strategic planning is the process for the City to move forward to its future. Strategic planning identifies the City’s desired destination, and it creates a path to get there. Accomplishing the plan’s goals and objectives serve as a roadmap with planned timelines and pitstops.
Why Strategic Planning in Nevada City?
Nevada City has entered into a very challenging evolutionary cycle. Public demands continue to increase, while dollars and other resources are growing at a slower pace or, in some cases, shrinking. These trends place increased pressure on the City Council (as Policy makers), City Manager (as Policy implementer), and staff to develop ways to be more effective and more efficient. In many cases, the public is demanding the accomplishment of specific goals, objectives, and services with fewer resources. “Doing more with less” while not possible in application is often an expectation. Accomplishing more within existing constraints however is possible if efficiencies can be had. To work more efficiently with available resources, organizations must establish their direction based on constructive efforts while eliminating programs that do not serve the community. Strategic planning can be a holistic approach to address these challenges.
In 2056 Nevada City will celebrate the City’s bicentennial (200-year anniversary). In order for the City to reach its destination or long-term goals by that point it is essential that the City initiate a strategic planning process; that the process yield a dynamic, flexible and adaptable plan; and that the City pursue continuous quality improvement through exercising the planning process over time.
What Has Nevada City Done for Strategic Planning in the Past? The City has previously conducted task based strategic planning. This process involved the City Council working with staff to create a list of task level activities to be completed within each year. The previous process did not involve broad stakeholder input; it did not assess the City’s mission, vision, and values; it did not create a S.W.O.T. analysis; and it did not establish broad initiatives to drive the City’s actions over a fiveyear period. Fundamentally, the City has not undergone a comprehensive Community-Driven Strategic Planning Process in the past.
City of Nevada City Strategic Plan 2022-2027 12
Setting the Foundation for Strategic Planning
The City Council provided direction for a course change in the functioning of the City and the interaction between the City and its stakeholders in 2020. Several key actions and steps were necessary to begin the strategic planning process including:
• Deciding to retain and enhance the Nevada City Police Department • Hiring a new City Manager
• Building back the relationship between City Hall, City Council, and the community • Hiring a Chief Financial Officer
• Delivering an on-time budget for fiscal year 2022/2023 • Completion of the audit backlog
• Building a relationship with the Chamber of Commerce and businesses • Transitioning out of crisis mode for COVID-19
• Establishing an outdoor dining ordinance
• Electing a new City Council and seating a new Mayor and Vice-Mayor in 2022 • Hiring new Police Chief
• Beginning the transition to a Community Oriented Policing (C.O.P.) model • Hiring new police officers and purchasing new police vehicles • Completing storm damage repair and securing disaster funding for the costs incurred • Initiating a Parking Demand Study
Each of these accomplishments paved the way for the City Council to be able to build a strategic plan on a solid foundation with input from all stakeholders.
What is a Community-Driven Strategic Plan?
Successful organizations, from government agencies to Fortune 500 companies, have recognized that attaining community focus is essential. Aware of this necessity, Nevada City must strategically plan how we will deliver high-quality products and services to the public through better, more efficient and/or less expensive programs.
Community-Driven Strategic Planning includes leveraging stakeholder input at various levels including: the City Council, residents, visitors, business investors, and City employees. The findings of the stakeholders will be funneled into the process for the City Council to create Vision 2056: The Roadmap to Nevada City’s Bicentennial (the Nevada City Strategic Plan) with input and debate from all.
Community-Driven Strategic Planning creates a platform for a wide range of beginnings. The approach comes to life by being shared, debated, and implemented in the context of organizational realities. In the context of Nevada City, Community-Driven Strategic Planning can appear to take away the decision-making ability of the City Council or future City Councils after the implementation of the plan. In truth, Community-Driven Strategic Planning simply provides a comprehensive and holistic evaluation of the City from the perspective of all stakeholders allowing the current and future City Councils to make immediate and long-term decisions based upon the needs of the community matched with the current and future resources.
City of Nevada City Strategic Plan 2022-2027 13
Community-Driven Strategic Planning Actions
1. Review the Mission Statement, giving careful attention to the services and programs currently provided, and which logically can be provided in the future.
2. Review the Vision Statement.
3. Review the Values Statements.
4. Conduct as S.W.O.T. Analysis
a. Identify the Strengths of the organization.
b. Identify any Weaknesses of the organization.
c. Identify areas of Opportunity for the organization.
d. Identify potential Threats to the organization.
5. Determine strategic initiatives for organizational improvement.
Community-Driven Strategic Planning Process
Interim Strategic Initiatives & Goals for the City were adopted by the City Council in the fiscal year 2022/2023 budget. Previously adopted goals and direction from the City Council were incorporated into these items to create a point of reference for stakeholder review of initiatives and goals for the City.
Two Community Strategic Planning Workshops were conducted in person after a social media, radio, and print media campaign to encourage public participation in the process. A similar process was used to conduct a Planning Commission Strategic Planning Workshop. A workshop for City Employees was conducted on the same topics as the Community and Commission iterations. A Strategic Planning Survey Instrument was deployed on the City website including questions aligned with the input received from the workshops. The stakeholder participation prior to the City Council Strategic Planning Workshop included:
*The City has continued to collect survey data and now has more than 350 total participants.
City Council Strategic Planning Workshop
During the City Council Strategic Planning Workshop on September 21, 2022, the input from stakeholder was reviewed by the City Council and direction was provided with regard to topics for inclusion in a DRAFT Strategic Plan for future review of the City Council. The focus areas included the City’s Mission, Vision, Values, S.W.O.T. Analysis, and Strategic Initiatives.
City of Nevada City Strategic Plan 2022-2027 14
City Council Review of the Draft Strategic Plan
The Draft Strategic Plan was presented at the City Council meeting on October 12, 2022, where the City Council provided comment on language used, the Goals within each Strategic Initiative, the use of City Council Committees to solicit additional stakeholder input on Goals within each Strategic Initiative, and any other recommended changes.
A second Draft Strategic Plan was posted online for community and City Council review on October 21, 2022, with feedback collected through November 4, 2022. The City Council adopted the Strategic Plan at the November 9, 2022, Regula City Council Meeting.
Next Steps
• Work will begin on Objectives that have near-term completion deadlines upon adoption of the plan. • The City’s Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Budget will include tasks and objectives assigned to specific departments to execute the Goals of the Strategic Plan under established timelines. • Progress on achievements within the Strategic Plan will be reported within each Budget and Mid-Year Budget process and the City Council will review and update the Strategic Plan under the same intervals or more frequently if needed.

CITY OF NEVADA CITY
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: January 11, 2022 Agenda Item No. 13
Subject: Consideration of Adoption of Resolution No. 2023- 01: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Nevada City Clarifying Holidays as Applicable to Parking Meter Fees From: Sean Grayson, City Manager
Date: January 5, 2023
Reviewed & Approved:
City Manager:
City Attorney:
Recommended Action: Adopt the resolution.
ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:
Section 10.04.020 (“Holidays”) of the Nevada City Municipal Code establishes holidays in relation to parking as "the first day of January, the twenty-second day of February, the thirtieth day of May, the fourth day of July, the first Monday in September, the eleventh day of November, Thanksgiving Day and the twenty-fifth day of December”. The City has historically recognized City, State, and Federal Holidays and their recognized observation days as holidays in relation to parking although this recognition is neither codified nor adopted by resolution of the City Council. This creates a discrepancy between what the Nevada City Police Department is tasked to enforce under the municipal code and what the expectation of the City has been historically described as.
Section 10.28.180 (“Parking meters—Exception—General”) of the Nevada City Municipal Code allows the City Council to establish, by resolution, specific days and times where paying parking meters is not required. Adoption of Resolution 2023-01 will reconcile the discrepancy between the municipal code and historical expectations. The resolution specifies that, “paying of parking meters shall not be required on all City, State, and Federal Holidays and their recognized observation days, or any future day in which City Hall is closed in consideration of a holiday.” It also specifies that, “the City shall not enforce parking meter fees for any of the holidays specified and that a list of such dates shall be provided at City Hall and on the City’s website updated each calendar year.” The list of specific dates for 2023 is includes:
• New Year’s Day actual and Observed (Sunday January 1, 2023 and Monday January 2, 2023) • Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Monday January 16, 2023)
• Presidents’ Day (Monday February 20, 2023)
• Cesar Chavez Day (Friday March 31, 2023)
• Memorial Day (Monday May 29, 2023)
• Juneteenth Day (Monday June 19, 2023)
• July 4th Independence Day actual and Observed (Tuesday July 4, 2023) • Labor Day (Monday September 4, 2023)
• Indigenous Peoples Day / Columbus Day (Monday October 9, 2023) • Veterans Day actual and Observed (Friday November 10, 2023) • Thanksgiving Day (Thursday November 23, 2023)
• Day after Thanksgiving (Friday November 24, 2023)
• Christmas Day actual and observed (Monday December 25, 2023) • New Year’s Day actual and Observed (Monday January 1, 2024) FINANCIAL AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
There is a potential reduction in parking meter revenue of approximately $450 dollars for each of the four (4) additional days in relation to holidays and holidays observed for a total estimated reduction of revenue of $1800 annually.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
This action, reporting on the program, is consistent with the embedded strategic initiative of Engagement:
Community engagement and communications with stakeholders.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:
None.
LEGAL REVIEW:
City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.
