CITY OF NEVADA CITY

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEETING OF: March 27, 2024 Agenda Item No. 07
Subject: Consideration of the 2023 Housing Element Annual Progress Report.

From: Lisa McCandless, City Planner
Date: March 22, 2023
Reviewed & Approved:

City Manager: STG
City Attorney:

Recommended Action: Receive and file and authorize transmittal of the report to the Department of Housing and Community Development.

ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:

The Annual Progress Report (APR) helps to facilitate the implementation of the Housing Element and in tracking and monitoring the City's progress in addressing the regional housing needs allocation, including the number of housing units permitted by income level, the status of programs in the Housing Element, and efforts to remove governmental constraints. Attached is the APR for 2023, corresponding to the 4th year of the City’s 6th Housing Element Cycle.

Housing counts are reported in relation to meeting the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).

State legislation and the RHNA process are intended to address projected state and regional population growth, to create a better balance of jobs and housing in communities, and to ensure the availability of affordable housing for households at all income levels. HCD allocates the number of housing units each jurisdiction must plan for in a given RHNA planning cycle. The State then requires each jurisdiction to update its housing element, and, if necessary, update its zoning code and any other local laws, programs and requirements, to ensure the additional housing can be built.

ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT 2023: For the current 6th cycle, the Housing and Community Development (HCD) agency has assigned 135 total housing units to the City of Nevada City, to be completed by the end of the cycle in 2027. In 2023, the City issued Certificates of Occupancy for 3 dwelling units and issued permits for 5 dwelling units. Total remaining RHNA allocations include 2 low-income units (though 9 of the city’s excess very low-income should count toward this), 22 moderate-income units, and 37 above-moderate units for a total of 61 units. RHNA uses number of building permits for this calculation not issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Note that in 2021 the city issued permits for 9 units that were in excess of the low-income target. The State has indicated that these can still be used to credit RHNA targets, so for purposes of this calculation only two remaining units are needed to fulfill the lowincome target, though the spreadsheet indicates 11 remain in this category. 2024 Housing Element Tasks:

The City is required to address tasks within the adopted housing element. The following tasks, by Program Number in Table D of the Annual Element Progress Report were completed, addressed, or otherwise worked toward in 2023.
• (Program #1&5) A certificate of occupancy was issued for the Cashin’s Field 51-unit low-income housing development using a combination of funds including a loan from the City and a deferral of fees.
• (Program #4) The City is required to update the Municipal Code pursuant to program goals outlined in the Housing Element. Staff took the Municipal Code updates as required by the adopted Housing Element to the planning commission at their May 2023 meeting where they recommended approval by the City Council. At the July 27, 2023, regular City Council meeting, the City Council introduced Ordinance 2023-07: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Nevada City, State of California Amending Sections 18.01.060, 17.30.080, 16.04.054, 17.30.020,17.32.020, 17.36.020, 17.40.020,

17.52.020, 17.12.125, 17.80.030, 17.12.090, 17.12.130, and Repealing Section 17.68.025 in Order to Update the City of Nevada City Municipal Code to be Consistent With Goals, Objectives, Polices, and Programs Adopted as Part of the 2019-2027 Housing Element. Second reading was conducted on August 9, 2023, at the regular City Council meeting and the required ordinance amendments went into effect on September 8, 2023. The changes made were generally described as:

1. Omit discretionary review of a tree removal permit in the R3 Zone when a development meets the 16 units per acre density standards.

2. Modify Section 16.04.054 to avoid the production of moderate-and above moderate-income housing on R3 Zoned properties.

3. Amend Chapters applicable chapters to allow transitional and supportive housing to be allowed in all zones allowing residential uses, subject to the same processes and standards applicable to the same type of housing in the same zone, pursuant to SB 2.

4. Amend residential district standards (including Historic District) to allow manufactured homes in all zones allowing single family residences.

5. Amend to address employee and farmworker housing provisions of California Health and Safety Code Sections 17021.5 and 17021.6.
• (Program #7&19) The Grove project, including 32 attached townhome units had its tentative map extended in 2023.
• (Program #12) The City received a grant to create zero cost design drawings for ADUs compliant with the City’s objective design standards.
• (Program #13) Create regulations for reasonable accommodation per Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 & CA Fair Employment & Housing Act, Gov. Code Section 12901 et. Seq.

Staff has evaluated the Model Ordinance for Providing Reasonable Accommodation Under Federal and State Fair Housing Laws and intends to bring the model ordinance for consideration in 2024. • (Program #14) In 2023 the City adopted the 2022 model building, fire, and related codes to maintain continued incorporation of the latest ADA accessibility accommodation provisions. • (Program #16) In 2023 the City received a grant for watering of water and wastewater services to plan for future low-income housing needs.
• (Program #21) of the Housing Element requires that the City identify publicly owned surplus land to determine its suitability for low-and very low-income households and to develop procedures for land swaps if sites more suitable for affordable housing are identified. Surplus public lands that are found to be feasible for lower-income housing shall be considered for re-designation to an appropriate residential zoning designation. As part of the State’s Housing Crisis package, AB 1486 (Ch. 664) and AB 1255 (Ch. 661) amended Government Code §§ 54220 through § 54233 to further implement Housing Element Program 21 to, among other things, 1) Create expanded procedures for identifying and disposing of surplus property to make more land available for housing; 2) Expand the definition of “surplus land”; 3) Create a central inventory of all surplus land; and 4) Create a method for determining emergency housing needs.

The City has created and maintains a City owned property list that identifies all City properties, their current use, and potential for future residential use. The list was reviewed in November of 2023 and there were no changes to the list or property designations. The majority of city owned properties that could be available for zoning changes supportive of housing development are very constrained by size, topography, or within floodplains.
• (Program #30&31) In addition to referring residents to PG&E low-income assistance programs, the City now refers residents to low-income assistance programs from Pioneer Community Energy JPA the Community Choice aggregation provide in the City.

FINANCIAL AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

Failure to meet RHNA targets subjects the City to SB35 projects, whereby developers proposing affordable housing projects may take advantage of ministerial project processing.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

This action, reporting on the program, is consistent with the embedded strategic initiative of Engagement:

Community engagement and communications with stakeholders. This report is also consistent with the Housing Strategic Initiative: Workforce and affordable housing, supportive of leasing local, and maintenance of homeowner value.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

None.

LEGAL REVIEW:

City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.

Name of Program Objective Timeframe in H.E Status of Program Implementation 1) To the extent the City
has financial resources,
pursue available funding
sources for affordable
housing, including
applications for HOME and
CDBG funds for the
construction or
rehabilitation of lower
income housing, including
extremely low-income
owner/renter occupied
housing and down
payment assistance for
low-and below-income
households. The City
should look to
collaborating with Nevada
County or others to assist
in this program.

Encourage the development and
rehabilitation of affordable housing.

Quantified Objective:
5 units rehabilitated
5 first time home buyer loans.

Seek assistance with other
agencies, such as Nevada
County, to apply for grants
in 2020.

Coordinate with others to
develop construction or
rehabilitation program and
begin program in 2021, if
found feasible.

The City did not have sufficient resources to apply for HOME and CDBG funds during the 5th housing cycle. The City will be seeking assistance from other agencies to obtain grant funding and administer these programs in the 6th Housing Cycle. The City regulalry works with the County Health and Human Services Agency to determine poternital funding mechanisms to support affordable housing projects. The City entered into an MOU with the City of Grass Valley and Nevada Coutnty in order to partner on the allocation of PHLA funds and allocated a first round of funding to the Cahins Field affordable housing project within City limits. The City did partner with the County to work with homeless encampments at a nearby City Open Space park known as Sugarloaf Mountain. A 90-day post program review showed that of 17 individuals identified, 3 took advantage of temporary housing, 5 took advantage of permanent housing opportunities, and 2 took advantage of "bridge housing" opportunities. Cashin's Field, a 51-unit low-income housing development opened in 2023.

production of lower
income housing in
compliance with State
Housing Codes:
a)Incorporate reduced
parking standards for
lower income projects per
AB44. b) Omit
discretionary tree removal

all zones allowing
Reduce constraints to the production of
lower income housing. Production of 8
new accessory units that is affordable to
low-income households. Development
of 4 lower income and 6 moderateincome housing units from the Cottage Dwelling Development Ordinance by
2027. Creation of 2 transitional housing
units and one supportive housing unit
by
Complete amendments to
the Municipal Code by
2020.

Ordinance 2020-001, implementing ADU standards, provides for reduced or omission of parking standards for ADUs. Ordinance 2021-10, implementing SB 9 standards provides for reduced or omiitted parking standards for qualifying residential units. The 51-unit affordabl Cashins Field project, that opened in 2023, took advantage of reduced parking standards. In 2023 the City Adopted Ordinance 2023-05 codifying all of the code amendments required under program #4.
5) 30% of all homes
located in new
subdivisions shall be 1,500
s.f. or smaller. These
homes shall be affordable
to moderate- and below
income households. This
shall be accomplished
through deed restrictions
or through an affordable
housing plan that includes
moderate- and below
income housing
opportunities
accomplished through a
variety of mechanisms
including, but not limited
to, size restrictions, rental
units, second units, etc.

The plan shall be
approved by the Planning
Commission and/or City
Council.

This is an ongoing carry over policy
from previous two housing elements,
intended to maintain and monitor this
policy. Although this program was
previously implemented through
previous amendments to the City’s
Subdivision Regulations, a community
advocate in the City has requested that
this policy be retained in the Housing
Element as a program.

Ongoing through
maintaining this policy in
the General Plan and
Subdivision regulations.

The Zoning Code Amended in 2009 consistent with this program. All subdivision proposals in the City since have met this requirement. The City currently has 34 entitle housing meeting this standard. None have been constructed and none are deed restricted but all are approved under an approved affordable housing plan.

Cashin's Field, a 51-unit low-income housing development opened in 2023. 6) The City will continue to
work closely with the
business and development
communities toward
achieving the City’s
affordable housing goal.

The City has identified the
following outreach
programs in this
partnership to provide
affordable housing:
a) Review potential
funding opportunities
available through existing
state, federal and local
programs for its affordable
housing program.
b)Work with private
developers and property
owners to cooperate in
financing water and sewer
facilities expansion as a
means of facilitating
development. c) Work
with non-profit (such as
FREED) and for-profit
housing development
corporations specializing
in housing for various
special needs groups to
accommodate housing
Creation of 3 lower income housing
units by 2023 and 5 lower income

zoning designation.

The City has limited land most of which
is very constrained by size, topography,
or within floodplains, so it is difficult to
determine the number of affordable
housing units can be created, if any.

The first analysis will be
conducted in 2020 with
status updates with the
Annual Housing Report in
March and April and each
year thereafter.

The City has created and maintains a City owned property list that identifies all City properties, their current use, and potential for future residential use.

On January 30, 2024, the City received an application for the Celebration of Trails 2024 fundraiser event hosted by the Bear Yuba Land Trust (BYLT). The event will occur on Saturday June 29, 2024, and the event hours are 4:00pm to 8:00pm with set-up beginning at 11:00am and break-down ending at 9:00pm.

The proposed street closure for the event includes:
- Commercial Street between the bollards at Pine Street and Main Street A summary of the specific event characteristics and recommended staff conditions are included in the application packet. The primary considerations are for emergency access with standard conditions by the Fire Department and for parking and road closures from Public Works.

The event set-up overlaps the approved Farmer’s Market Street closure of Union Alley. The Farmer’s Market has provided a letter of support for the BYLT event and noted that the set-up will not conflict as it did not in 2023.

BYLT has also requested, for the first time, City sponsorship of the event. Erin Tarr, BYLT Executive Director provide the following with the request for sponsorship:

In 2023 BYLT changed our format for the Celebration of Trails (COT) event to become a monthlong celebration of our local outdoor recreation destinations and as a way to support and feature local artists. By combining art and nature, BYLT was able to reach new audiences and engaged a younger demographic of people and families in their events. The events that we held, which would be supported through the Nevada City sponsorship include:
• Summer Star Hike Challenge - In 2023, 193 people purchased tickets for this event (152 adults and 41 children) which ran for the month of June. BYLT partnered with Neighborhood Center for the Arts, a nonprofit focused on creating art and job training for adults with disabilities, to create the 15 unique stars that were hung on local trails. Each participant would get a Map of the Stars to start their journey. For every star found, they get entered into raffle drawings for prizes given away at the Street Party. • Art in Nature Installations - BYLT commissioned 2 local artists to create land based art projects along trails to encourage more exploration of the local trails. One installation was along the Hirschman Trail and one along Cascade Canal Trail. While it's hard to gauge the number of people who saw these installations, this was a great way to support artists and reach new audiences to get outside and explore.
• Street Party on Commercial Street in Nevada City to wrap up COT Month. BYLT partnered with the City of NC and Crazy Horse as well as other local businesses to throw a fun, all ages, free Street Party at the end of June. We paid Moody Cat Band to entertain attendees and had many partner organizations on site, such as REI, Gold Crush Climbing Gym, Youth Bicyclists of Nevada County, Gold Country Trails Council, Yuba Water Agency, and more. This event was on a Saturday afternoon and saw over 400 people pass through and attend. Supervisor Heidi Hall also spoke at the event.

Overall, this event raised the relevancy of Nevada City trails and outdoor recreation opportunities and was an incredible way to create more love for these spaces.

In 2024, we hope to gain support from the Cities, County, and other local businesses and nonprofits to support this work and help cover costs of art commissions and events - all for the love of nature and trails. Many of the Stars are hung along Nevada City trails, which BYLT manages, and our main Street Party event is held in downtown bringing people in from all over the area to spend money at the local businesses and explore the lands.

The $500 level of sponsorship as listed in the attached BYLT partner packet is consistent with the City’s sponsorship of other special events based on a proven history of event delivery and the volume of attendees and related impacts.

FINANCIAL AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The total fees to be collected if the application is approved are $50. The total sponsorship amount, if approved, would be $500 and funded from the City’s Community Agency account.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

This action is consistent with the embedded strategic initiative of Engagement: Community engagement and communications with stakeholders.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Not applicable.

LEGAL REVIEW:

City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.

WHO WE ARE
Bear Yuba Land Trust (BYLT) was founded in 1990 with a mission to permanently protect our community’s working lands, wildlife corridors, and access to nature. Our success can be seen in the 26,000 acres of land that have been conserved, the 50+ miles of trails built and maintained, and the hundreds of people that are accessing nature through these trails and our events. Every project we complete leaves a permanent impact on our community. Farmland that will continue to produce local food, habitat for the plants and animals to call home, and linking trails to expand access to and through nature.

Mission, Vision & Values
❖ BYLT exists to protect and defend the working and natural lands in the Bear and Yuba River watersheds and to empower a healthy, resilient community through nature access and education.
❖ Our vision is for a healthy, connected community that is sustainable and resilient by working with willing landowners to protect important agricultural and natural lands and to build and maintain trails for all to enjoy the benefits of the outdoors. ❖ We are an honest, nonpartisan, transparent nonprofit organization that works with our community to reach common goals related to the lands that surround us.

Our History
❖ Founded in 1990 by a group of passionate citizens, formerly known as Nevada County Land Trust, who wanted to play an active role in permanently shaping our community’s legacy by protecting important lands and connecting trails to neighborhoods and nature. Although BYLT started as a volunteer organization, the many people who have been a part of the organization over the past 33 years helped to set the foundation for a successful business that has grown to 10 staff members, a strong board, and hundreds of volunteers that believe in the mission. Proving that nature will never go out of style.

Who We Help
❖ Locals and visitors alike benefit from the work that BYLT does. Hiking the trails or getting fresh beef or produce from the local co-op are just some of the ways that BYLT is helping to make a positive difference for today and generations to come.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEETING OF: March 27, 2024 Agenda Item No. 10
Subject: Consideration of Adoption of Resolution 2024-07: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Nevada City, California, Updating the City Council Standards and
Procedures Manual to Add Additional Provisions Regarding Disruptive Behavior at Council Meetings.

From: Sean Grayson, City Manager
Date: March 17, 2024
Reviewed & Approved:

City Manager:

City Attorney:

Recommended Action: Adopt the resolution.

ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:

Nevada City’s “City Council Standards and Procedures” Manual (2023) (“Manual”) provides guidance to the City Council, Planning Commission, Public Arts Commission, and Committees on process for effective public meetings.

The City Council wishes to consider a Manual amendment which would add additional provisions regarding disruptive behavior at Council Meetings. Staff proposes that this be accomplished by amending Section

10.5 to the Manual, to add the following content:
(a) Definition. Disruptive behavior is any action that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting. Verbal conduct is disruptive when it meets the standards described below.
(b) Disruptive verbal conduct based on identity. Continued use of loud, threatening, profane, or abusive language or verbal conduct that denigrates an individual because of race, color, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, or other protected category after a verbal warning from the presiding officer impedes the orderly conduct of the meeting. It interferes with the Council’s ability to accomplish its functions in a reasonably efficient matter by causing a distraction from City business, chilling other members of the public’s participation, interfering with the ability of those present to listen and understand the business and proceedings of the City or Council, and may constitute or contribute to employment or other types of discrimination. (c) Removal procedure (general). The Mayor or presiding member of the Council has the authority to remove, or designate a person to remove, an individual or group for disrupting the Council meeting. Before taking this action, the Mayor/presiding member shall warn the individual or group that their behavior is disruptive and that failure to cease this behavior may result in their removal.

If the behavior does not promptly cease, the individual may be removed.

No warning is required to precede removal if an individual engages in behavior that is a true threat of force. A true threat of force has sufficient indicia of intent and seriousness so that a reasonable observer would perceive it to be an actual threat to use force by the person who makes the threat. (d) Removal procedure (disruptive verbal conduct based on identity), When a person engages in verbal conduct that denigrates an individual because of their race, color, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, or other protected category, the Mayor or presiding member of the Council shall take the following actions:

1. The Mayor/presiding member shall stop the speaker and read the relevant portions of the City’s Harassment-Free Workplace Policy. The Mayor/presiding member shall state that the City does not condone comments in violation of the City’s Policy and that the speaker’s harassment is unwanted and unwelcome and impedes the orderly conduct of the meeting by interfering with the Council’s ability to accomplish its functions in a reasonably efficient matter by causing a distraction from City business, chilling participation from other members of the public, interfering with the ability of those present to listen and understand the business and proceedings of the City, and may constitute or contribute to employment or other forms of discrimination.

2. The Mayor/presiding member shall state that any City employee present may be excused from attendance at the meeting during the speaker’s remarks.

3. The Mayor/presiding member shall hold the speaker’s time and the speaker may resume speaking after the Mayor/presiding member’s statement, unless the speaker’s comments continue to disrupt, disturb, or impede the orderly conduct of the meeting. If the speaker continues to disrupt, disturb, or impede the orderly conduct of the meeting, the Mayor/presiding member may prohibit the speaker from further commenting or may order the speaker to be removed from the meeting.

4. After the end of the speaker’s comments, any Councilmember may make a brief response to such comments, if desired.
(e) Removal procedure (disruptive group). If a meeting is willfully disrupted by a group of people so as to render the orderly conduct of the meeting unfeasible, the Mayor/presiding member shall first attempt to maintain order. If unsuccessful, the Mayor/presiding member may call a recess, adjourn the meeting to another date, or order the removal of the people disrupting the meeting. If order is not restored by removing the people disrupting the meeting, the Mayor/presiding member may order the meeting room cleared and continue holding the meeting. Representatives of the media, except those participating in the disturbance, shall be allowed to continue attending the meeting.

All of the proposed changes are reflected in the attached updated City Council Standards and Procedures Manual with redlines for changes. Adoption of Resolution 2024-07 would adopt the updated manual and make the changes effective immediately upon adoption.

FINANCIAL AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

None with this action.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

This action is consistent with the embedded strategic initiative of Engagement: Community engagement and communications with stakeholders.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Not applicable.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney’s Office created the proposed amendments to the Policy and Procedure Manual and Resolution 2024-07.

CITY OF NEVADA CITY

CITY COUNCIL STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES
SECTION 1. GENERAL

1.1 Purpose. The purpose of these Standards and Procedures is to promote communication, understanding, fairness, and trust among the members of the City Council and staff concerning their roles, responsibilities, and expectations for management of the business of the City of Nevada City.

1.2 Values. Respect for each Council Member’s interpersonal style will be a standard of operation. Courtesy and respect for individual points of view will be practiced at all times. All Council Members shall respect each other’s right to disagree. All Council Members shall practice a high degree of decorum and courtesy. When addressing the public in any way, all Council Members shall make certain their opinions are expressed solely as their own, and do not in any way necessarily reflect the opinions of any other Council Member or the City.

1.3 Overview of Council responsibilities. The City of Nevada City is a General Law city of the State of California operating under the Council/Manager form of government and the City Manager’s duties shall define how the City Council and City Manager interact and perform their respective duties and responsibilities. The City Council has the following duties and responsibilities:
(a) Appointment of the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Council shall appoint the City Manager and the City Attorney. There should be an annual review for the City Manager and the City Attorney.
(b) Establishment of boards and appointment of members. The Council may appoint establish Boards, Commissions, and Committees, and by majority vote make appointments of members of all Boards, Commissions, and Committees. (c) Legislative decisions. The Council is the legislative body; its members are the community’s decision makers. Power is centralized in the elected City Council collectively and not in individual members of the Council. The City Council approves the budget and determines the public services. It focuses on the community’s goals, major projects and such long term considerations as community growth, financing and strategic planning. The City Council hires a professional City Manager to carry out administrative responsibilities and supervises the City Manager’s performance.

1.4 Overview of City Manager responsibilities. The City Manager is hired to serve the City Council and the community and to bring the benefits of education, training and experience in administering the City’s projects, programs, and public services on behalf of the City Council. The City Manager has the following among his or her duties:
6 | Page
(a) Preparation of a Recommended Budget.
(b) Recruitment, Hiring, and Supervision of Personnel, Contractors, and Consultants. (c) Implementation of the Council’s policies and programs and public services in an effective and efficient manner, providing professional advice on policy matters, intergovernmental affairs, economic development and environmental issues.

The City Manager follows the direction of the entire City Council and not individual members of the Council or the public and serves at the sole discretion of the Council. (See Nevada City Municipal Code Chapter 2.08.)

1.5 Review. The City Council shall conduct a review of this document biennially, or whenever a new Council Member has been seated or Council deems necessary, to assist Council Members in being more productive in management of the business of the City. A new Council will consider the document within three months of its first regular meeting.

1.6 Ralph M. Brown Act. All conduct of the City Council, Commissions, Committees and Subcommittees shall be in full compliance with the Ralph M. Brown Act.

SECTION 2. MAYOR AND VICE MAYOR SELECTION PROCESS

2.1 Reorganization. In July of each year, the office of the Mayor and Vice Mayor (also known as Mayor Pro Tem)shall rotate based on the policy set forth in Nevada City Resolution Nos. 2007- 34 and 2012-23, as follows:
(a) The Mayor shall be the senior member who has not previously served in that capacity and the term of office shall be one year, without succession, beginning at the first regularly scheduled City Council meeting each July or the first meeting following certification of a City Council election.
(b) The Mayor Pro Tem shall be the next senior member who has not previously served as Mayor and the term of office shall run concurrent with that of the Mayor as described above.
(c) When two or more members have equal seniority and have not yet served as Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem, the order of succession shall be determined by the number of votes each member received at the time of their election. (d) The Mayor Pro Tem shall automatically succeed the Mayor each year, excepting that the Mayor Pro Tem may decline such succession. If the Mayor Pro Tem declines the position of Mayor, such office shall be extended to the next senior member in order, or by majority vote of the Council if all other members have served at least on year as Mayor.
7 | Page
(e) Once all seated members have served as Mayor, succession shall be based on a majority vote of the Council, recognizing that the term of office for each position shall be one year.

Members of the City Council who first took their seats on the Council more than twenty-three (23) months prior to the meeting at which the Mayor is being selected are eligible for Mayorship.

2.2 Appointment of Vacancy. In the event of a vacancy on the City Council, the Council may fill the vacancy either by appointment or special election as set forth in Government Code section 36512.

SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS

3.1 Attendance. City Council Members acknowledge that attendance at lawful meetings of the City Council is part of their official duty. Council Members shall make a good faith effort to attend all such meetings unless unable. Council Members will notify the City Manager or the Deputy City Clerk, and, if possible, the Mayor as a courtesy, if they will be absent from a meeting.

Failure to attend regular City Council meetings for sixty (60) consecutive days from the last regular meeting can result in your seat becoming vacant and filled accordingly. (Gov’t Code § 36513.)

3.2 Regional Boards. The role of the Council on regional boards will vary depending on the nature of the appointment. Representing the interests of Nevada City is appropriate on some boards; this is generally the case when other local governments have their own representation.

The positions taken by the appointed representatives are to be in alignment with the positions that the Council has taken on issues that directly impact the City of Nevada City. If an issue should arise, that is specific to Nevada City and the Council has not taken a position, the issue should be discussed by the Council prior to taking a formal position at a regional board meeting, to assure that it is in alignment with a majority of the Council’s position.

Council representatives to such various boards shall keep the Council informed of ongoing business through brief oral or written reports to the Council during properly posted Council meetings.

Council Members shall make a good faith effort to attend all regional meetings that require a quorum of the appointed members to convene a meeting. Attendance should not be less than 75% of all scheduled meetings. If a Council Member is unable to attend, he/she should notify his/her alternate as far in advance of the meeting as possible so as to allow the alternate to attend.

3.3 Distribution of Information. It is essential that every member of the City Council have the same information from which to form decisions and actions. Any information distributed to one Council Member shall also be distributed to all Council Members.

3.4 Reimbursement. Every effort shall be made to limit the need to reimburse Council Members for expenses. City Council Members may be reimbursed for personal expenses for travel to and lodging at conferences or meetings related to their role as a Council Member in 8 | Page
accordance with the current Travel and Meeting Reimbursement Policy adopted by the City Council. Any request for reimbursement of expenses shall be accompanied by an expense form and receipts to document the expenditure. These documents are public records subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act. (See Nevada City Resolution 2014-12 and attached Travel and Meeting Reimbursement Policy.)
Brief reports must be given on any outside meeting attended at the expense of the City at the next regular Council meeting. Reimbursement is conditioned on the submission of this report to the legislative body.

3.5 Ethics, Sexual Harassment and Anti-Bullying Training. Any member of the City Council and commissions, or advisory committees formed by the City Council, shall receive at least two hours of ethics training in general ethics principles and ethics laws (as mandated by AB 1234), two hours of sexual harassment prevention training (as mandated by AB 1825) and two hours of abusive conduct prevention training (as mandated by AB 2053) all relevant to his/her public service every two years. New members must receive this training within their first year of service and file a certificate of completion with the Deputy City Clerk. Members shall attend training sessions that are offered locally in the immediate vicinity of Nevada County or by completing online a state-approved public service ethics education program.

An individual who serves on multiple legislative bodies need only receive two hours of each of these trainings every two years to satisfy this requirement for all applicable public service positions. The City will use and recognize training coursesthat have been reviewed and approved by the Fair Political Practices Commission and the California Secretary of State.

The Deputy City Clerk is required to keep ethics training records for five years to document and prove that these continuing education requirements have been satisfied. These documents are public records subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act.

3.6 City Mission and City Seal. The Mission of the City of Nevada City is a strategic document that reflects the values of our residents. The City Seal is an important symbol of the City of Nevada City. No change to the City Mission and/or City Seal shall be made without Council approval.

Pursuant to Government Code 40811, the City Clerk is the custodian of the City Seal. Individual councilmembers should not issue correspondence on City Letterhead or use the City Seal without authorization from the City Council or City Manager.

3.7 Use of Social Media and Email. See City of Nevada City’s general social media and email policies.

SECTION 4. COUNCIL RELATIONSHIP WITH STAFF

4.1 City Manager. City Council Members are always free to go to the City Manager to discuss City business. Issues concerning the performance of a Department or any employee must be directed to the City Manager. Direction to City employees, other than the City Manager or City Attorney, is the prerogative of the City Manager. In passing along critical information, the City Manager will be responsible for contacting all Council Members. The City Manager may delegate this responsibility to Department Heads. (See Nevada City Municipal Code Chapter 2.08.030.) 9 | Page

4.2 Agenda Item Questions. If a Council Member has a question on a subject, the Council Member is encouraged to contact the City Manager prior to any meeting at which the subject may be discussed. This does not restrict Council Members from asking questions during a Council meeting.

4.3 Interaction of City Council with Staff. The Council shall treat staff with respect and shall not abuse staff, nor embarrass staff in public. The City Council Members are to work through the City Manager on all issues, concerns and questions. This is to allow the senior professional staff, with the proper education, training, experience and knowledge of issues, laws and City Council’s policies to coordinate a full and complete response and reduce error or misunderstanding by staff members not necessarily knowledgeable on all issues. This can provide a better overall response, allow any new issues to properly be considered and avoid unintended redirection of staff efforts. Council Members may ask Department Heads for information. This informal system of direct communication is not to be abused. City Council Members shall not meet with groups of management employees for the purpose of discussing terms of employment or establishing employee policy.

4.4 Individual Council Member’s Requests. Council Members shall make their reasonable requests for information to the City Manager. The amount of total staff time to be allotted to any reasonable request shall be determined by the City Manager at his/her discretion.

SECTION 5. PROCEDURES FOR APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS/COMMISSIONS/COMMITTEES

The City Council may hold study sessions or joint meetings with other boards, commissions, committees, or agencies as deemed necessary to resolve City business. These meetings will be coordinated by the City Manager. Study sessions are scheduled to provide Council Members the opportunity to better understand a particular item. While Council may legally take action at any noticed meeting, generally no formal action is taken at study sessions. If action is to be taken at a study session, then the agenda will state that action may be taken. 14 | Page

6.6 Closed Sessions. The City Council may hold closed sessions at any time authorized by law (and in consultation with the City Manager and/or the City Attorney), to consider or hear any matter, which is authorized by law. The City Manager or any three Council Members may call closed session meetings at any time.

If fewer than, three Council Members appear at a regular meeting, the Mayor, Vice Mayor in the absence of the Mayor, any Council Member in the absence of the Mayor and Vice Mayor, or in the absence of all Council Members, the City Manager or Deputy City Clerk, shall adjourn the meeting to a stated day and hour.

Business of the City Council may be conducted with a minimum of three members being present; however, pursuant to the California Government Code, matters requiring the expenditure of City funds and all resolutions and non-urgency ordinances must receive three affirmative votes for approval.

6.9 Adjourned Meetings. The City Council may adjourn any regular, adjourned regular, special, or closed session meeting to a time and place specified in the order of adjournment and permitted by law.

SECTION 7. AGENDA CONTENTS

7.1 Mayor’s Responsibility. The Mayor is responsible for running a timely and orderly meeting. If the Mayor is unavailable to run a Council meeting, the Vice Mayor shall run the meeting. If the Mayor and the Vice Mayor are both unavailable to run a Council meeting, the Mayor shall designate another councilmember to run the meeting. If the Mayor is unavailable to make this designation, the Vice Mayor shall do so.

7.2 Description of Matters. All items of business to be discussed at a meeting of the City Council shall be briefly described on the agenda. The description should set forth the proposed action to be considered so that members of the public will know the nature of the action under review and consideration. As stated in Section 4.2, if a Council Member has a question on a subject, the Council Member should contact the City Manager prior to any meeting at which the subject may be discussed.

7.3 Availability to the Public. The agenda for any regular, special, or study session meeting, shall be made available to the public as required by law.

7.4 Limitation to Act Only on Items on the Agenda. No action shall be taken by the City Council on any item not on the posted agenda, subject only to the exceptions listed below:
(a) Upon a majority determination that an “emergency situation” (as defined by State Law) exists; or
15 | Page
(b) Upon determination by a 4/5 vote of the full City Council, or a unanimous vote if less than a full Council, that there is a need to take immediate action and that the need to take the action came to the attention of the City Council subsequent to posting of the agenda.

7.5 "Timing" of Agenda. Staff and/or the Mayor may "time" the agenda as a way for the Council to maintain a sense of how much time can be committed to any one item without going past an established ending time for the meeting.

7.6 Change in Order of Business. The City Manager, Mayor, or the majority of the Council, may decide to take matters listed on the agenda out of the prescribed order. Council Members shall be given the opportunity to ask questions about Consent Items for clarification without having them removed.

7.7 Agenda Request Policy. Requests for placement of items on the agenda by the public can be requested to the City Council during Public Comments for Items not on the Agenda. Any member of the Council may request that an item be placed on a future agenda by indicating their desire to do so under that portion of the City Council agenda designated, “Council Member Requested Items, Committee Reports and Future Agenda Items” Additionally, the City Manager may place items on the agenda. For requested items by the public and/or the City Council the majority of Council must agree on the addition of that item to a future agenda.

7.8 Consent Agenda. All items listed under the Consent Agenda are considered to be routine in nature and will be approved by one motion. There will be no separate discussion of these items. Councilmembers or the City Manager may remove items from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and action by City Council. Members of the public may request to remove items from the Consent Agenda, during Consent Agenda public comment, for separate discussion and action by the City Council, but action is required by the City Council to do so by motion, second and roll call vote. Unless the City Council removes an item from the Consent Calendar for separate discussion, public comments are invited as to the consent calendar as a whole and limited to three minutes per person (or lesser time if the Mayor determines it necessary due to the number of persons who may wish to speak on the Consent Calendar). Any item removed for separate discussion and action will be taken up following the motion to approve the Consent Agenda.

SECTION 8. PROCEDURES FOR THE CONDUCT OF PUBLIC MEETINGS

8.1 Role of Mayor.
(a) The Mayor shall be responsible for maintaining the order and decorum of meetings.

It shall be the duty and responsibility of the Mayor to ensure that the rules of operation and decorum contained herein are observed. The Mayor shall maintain control of communication between Council Members and among Council, staff and public. The Mayor shall intervene when a Council Member, staff or other meeting participant is being verbally or otherwise attacked by a member of the public.
16 | Page
(b) Communication with Council Members:

1. Council Members shall request the floor from the Mayor before speaking.

2. When one member of the Council has the floor and is speaking, other Council Members shall not interrupt or otherwise disturb the speaker. (c) Communication with members of the public addressing the Council on agendized items

1. The Mayor shall open the floor for public comment as appropriate.

2. Council Members may question a person addressing the Council at the conclusion of the person’s comments or upon expiration of the person’s time to speak.

3. Any staff member with an item on the agenda will be available to the City Council to answer questions arising during discussions between Council Members and among Council Members and members of the public.

4. Members of the public shall direct their questions and comments to the Council.

8.2 Rules of Order. The City Council shall refer to Rosenberg’s Rules of Order, as a guide for the conduct of meetings, with the following modifications:
(a) A motion is not required prior to a general discussion on an agenda item. A pre-motion discussion allows the members to share their thoughts on the agendized item so that a motion can more easily be made that takes into account what appears to be the majority position. (b) All motions require a second.
(c) A motion may be amended at the request of the maker and the consent of the person who seconded the motion. Such a procedure is often used to accommodate concerns expressed by other members.
(d) A motion to amend may still be used.

The Mayor has the discretion to impose reasonable rules at any particular meeting based upon facts and circumstances found at any particular meeting. These latter rules will be followed unless objected to by a majority of the City Council Members present.

8.3 Public Comment.
(b) The limit for speakers will be up to 3 minutes, depending on the number of speakers.

Speakers are not allowed to delegate their time to another speaker without permission from the 17 | Page
Mayor. The Mayor may limit the time to be spent on an item and may continue the item, with the approval of the majority of the Council, to a future meeting at his/her discretion. (c) Upon addressing the Council, each speaker is requested, but not required, to first state his/her name, whom they represent and/or city of residence. (d) After the speaker has completed their remarks, the Mayor may direct the City Manager or City Attorney to briefly address the issues brought forth by the speaker. Council Members shall be respectful of the speakers and shall not enter into a debate with any member of the public nor discuss amongst themselves.
(e) All Council Members shall listen to all public discussion as part of the Council’s community responsibility. Individual Council Members should remain open-minded to informational comments made by the public.
(f) The Mayor has the right to ask a member of the public to step down if over the allotted time or if the speaker’s comments are not within the city’s jurisdiction.

8.4 Motions. It will be the practice of the City Council for the Mayor to provide Council Members an opportunity to ask questions of staff, comment on, and discuss any agendized item in order to help form a consensus before a motion is offered. After such discussion, the Mayor or any Council Member may make a motion. Before the motion can be considered or discussed, it must be seconded. Once a motion has been properly made and seconded, the Mayor shall open the matter to full discussion offering the first opportunity to speak to the moving party, and thereafter, to any Council Member recognized by the Mayor. Customarily, the Mayor will take the floor after all other Council Members have been given the opportunity to speak.

If a motion clearly contains divisible parts, any Council Member may request the Mayor or moving party divide the motion into separate motions to provide Council Members an opportunity for more specific consideration.

Tie Votes: Tie votes shall be lost motions. When all Council Members are present, a tie vote on whether to grant an appeal from official action shall be considered a denial of such appeal, unless the Council takes other action to further consider the matter. If a tie vote results at a time when fewer than all members of the Council, who may legally participate in the matter are present, the matter shall be automatically continued to the agenda of the next regular meeting of the Council, unless otherwise ordered by the Council.

8.5 Reconsideration.
(a) Request for reconsideration.

1. Request by a member of the public.

Notwithstanding Rosenberg’s Rules of Order, a request for reconsideration may be made by a member of the public to the City Council at the next regular meeting of the City Council or at any intervening special meeting of the City Council.
18 | Page

2. Request by a member of the City Council.

Only a member of the City Council who voted on the prevailing side may request reconsideration. The request may be made at the same meeting or at the next regular meeting of the City Council or at any intervening special meeting of the City Council.

3. The member of the public or City Council Member making the request should state orally or in writing the reason for the request, without dwelling on the specific details or setting forth various arguments.
(b) Motion to reconsider any Council action.

1. Reconsideration at the same meeting.

A motion to reconsider an action taken by the City Council may be made at the same meeting at which the action was taken (including an adjourned or continued meeting). A motion to reconsider an action taken by the City Council may be made only by a Council Member who voted on the prevailing side but may be seconded by any Council Member and is debatable. The motion must be approved by a majority of the entire City Council.

2. Reconsideration at a subsequent meeting.

If an intent to request a motion for reconsideration is communicated to the City Council prior to the deadline for posting the City Council meeting agenda, then the request for reconsideration may be agendized if support for said action exists in accordance with the Council Standards Section 10.8. Otherwise, no City Council discussion or action on a possible reconsideration may occur unless the item is appropriately added to the agenda pursuant to Government Code section 54954.2(b), which addresses adding items that are not listed on a posted agenda (urgency agenda item). At the time such motion for reconsideration is heard, testimony shall be limited to the facts giving rise to the motion.
(c) Effect of approval of motion.

Upon approval of a motion to reconsider, and at such time as the matter is heard, the City Council shall only consider any new evidence or facts not presented previously with regard to the item or a claim of error in applying the facts.

If the motion to reconsider is made and approved at the same meeting at which the initial action was taken and all interested persons (including applicants, owners, supporters and opponents) are still present, the matter may be reconsidered at that meeting or at the next regular meeting or intervening special meeting (subject to the discretion of the maker of the motion) and no further public notice is required.

If the motion to reconsider is made and approved at the same meeting at which the initial action was taken but all interested persons are not still present, or if the motion is made and 19 | Page
approved at the next regular meeting or intervening special meeting, the item shall be scheduled for consideration at the earliest feasible City Council meeting and shall be re-noticed in accordance with the Government Code, the City Municipal Code and the Council Standards and Procedures. The Clerk shall provide notice to all interested parties as soon as possible when a matter becomes the subject of a motion to reconsider.

8.6 Discussion.
(a) The discussion and deliberations at meetings of the City Council are to secure the mature judgment of Council Members on proposals submitted for decision. This purpose is best served by the exchange of thought through discussion and debate.

To the extent possible, Council Members should disclose any ex parte communication prior to discussion on an item. Ex parte communications are those made in private between an interested party and an official in a decision-making process.

Discussion and deliberation are regulated by these rules in order to assure every member a reasonable and equal opportunity to be heard.
(b) Obtaining the floor for discussion.

After the Council has commented on an issue, and a motion has been stated to the Council and seconded, any member of the Council has a right to discuss it after obtaining the floor. The member obtains the floor by seeking recognition from the Mayor. A member who has been recognized should make their comments clear, brief and concise. (c) Speaking more than once.

To encourage the full participation of all members of the Council, no member or members shall be permitted to monopolize the discussion of the question. If a Council Member has already spoken, other Council Members wishing to speak shall then be recognized. No Council Member shall be allowed to speak a second time until after all other Council Members have had an opportunity to speak.
(d) Relevancy of discussion.

All discussion must be relevant to the issue before the City Council. A Council Member is given the floor only for the purpose of discussing the pending question; discussion which departs is out of order. Council Members shall avoid repetition and strive to move the discussion along.

A motion, its nature, or consequences, may be attacked vigorously. It is never permissible to attack the motives, character, or personality of a member either directly or by innuendo or implication. It is the duty of the Mayor to instantly rule out of order any Council Member who engages in personal attacks. It is the motion, not its proposer that is subject to debate.

Arguments, for or against a measure, should be stated as concisely as possible. It is the responsibility of each Council Member to maintain an open mind on all issues during discussion and deliberation.
20 | Page
It is not necessary for all City Council Members to speak or give their viewpoints if another Council Member has already addressed their concerns. Although issues with potential to be litigated or otherwise appealed should have comments by each Council Member on the record. (e) Mayor’s duties during discussion.

The Mayor has the responsibility of controlling and expediting the discussion. A Council Member who has been recognized to speak on a question has a right to the undivided attention of the Council.

It is the duty of the Mayor to keep the subject clearly before the members, to rule out irrelevant discussion, and to restate the question whenever necessary.

8.7 Council Member Respect. At all times, Council Members in the minority on an issue shall respect the decision and authority of the majority.

8.8 Announcements. Council reports at the end of Council meetings shall be limited to announcing Mayor/Council related activities in which Council Members are involved, City and City-sponsored activities and items which directly affect the City. Community groups may announce their activities during Public Comments at the beginning of Council meetings. Council Members should refrain from making personal comments, stating personal activities, or items that do not impact their role as a Council Member.

SECTION 9. CLOSED SESSIONS

9.1 Purpose. It is the policy of the City Council to conduct its business in public to the greatest extent possible. However, state law recognizes that, in certain circumstances, public discussion could potentially jeopardize the public interest, compromise the City’s position, and could cost the taxpayers of Nevada City financially. Therefore, closed sessions shall be held from time to time as allowed by law. The procedures for the conduct of these meetings shall be the same as for public meetings, except that the public will be excluded.

Prior to convening the closed session meeting, the Mayor shall publicly announce the closed session items and ask for public input regarding any items on the closed session agenda.

Council Members are to keep all information obtained during closed session in complete confidence. All written materials provided to councilmembers during closed session shall be returned to the City Manager at the conclusion of each closed session.

If the City Council in closed session has provided direction to City staff on proposed terms and conditions for any type of negotiations, whether it be related to property acquisitions or disposal, a proposed or pending claim or litigation, or employee negotiations, all contact with the other party will be through the designated City person(s) representing the City in the handling of the matter. A Council Member, not so designated by the Council, will not under any circumstances have any contact or discussion with the other party or its representative concerning the matter 21 | Page
which was discussed in the closed session, and will not communicate any discussions conducted in closed session to such party.

9.2 Rule of Confidentiality. The City Council recognizes that breaches in confidentiality can severely prejudice the City’s position in litigation, labor relations and real estate negotiations.

Further, breaches of confidentiality can create a climate of distrust among Council Members and can harm the Council’s ability to communicate openly in closed sessions, thereby impairing the Council’s ability to perform its official duties.

The City Council further recognizes that confidentiality of discussions and documents are at the core of a closed session. Confidentiality is essential if the closed session is to serve its purpose.

Therefore, the City Council will adhere to a strict policy of confidentiality for closed sessions.

9.3 Breach of Rule of Confidentiality. No person who attends a closed session may disclose any statements, discussions, or documents used in a closed session except where specifically authorized by State law. Any authorized disclosure shall be in strict compliance with these rules and the Ralph M. Brown Act. Violation of this rule shall be considered a breach of this rule of confidentiality.

9.4 Agenda. The City Council agenda will contain a brief general description of the items to be discussed at the closed session, as required by law.

9.5 Permissible Topics. All closed sessions will be held in strict compliance with the Ralph M.

Brown Act. The City Attorney, or his/her designee, will advise in advance on topics that may be discussed in a closed session.

9.6 Rules of Decorum.
(a) The same high standard of respect and decorum as apply to public meetings shall apply to closed sessions. There shall be courtesy, respect and tolerance for all viewpoints and for the right of Council Members to disagree. Council Members shall strive to make each other feel comfortable and safe to express their points of view. All Council Members have the right to insist upon strict adherence to this rule.
(b) Prior to a vote, the Mayor shall ensure that the motion is clearly stated and clearly understood by all Council Members.
(c) The Mayor shall keep the discussion moving forward so that debate and a vote can occur in the time allotted for the closed session. The Mayor will determine the order of debate in a fair manner

9.7 Public Disclosure After Final Action.
(a) The Ralph M. Brown Act requires that, as a body, the City Council make certain public disclosure of closed session decisions when those actions have become final. Accordingly, the City Council shall publicly report any final action taken in closed session, and the vote, including abstentions, at a publicly noticed meeting as follows:
22 | Page
• Real Estate negotiations: After the agreement is final and accepted by the other party; • Litigation: After approval to defend or appeal a lawsuit or to initiate a lawsuit; • Settlement: After final settlement of litigation or claims; • Employees: Action taken to appoint or dismiss a Council-appointed employee; • Labor relations: After the Memorandum of Understanding is final and has been accepted by both parties.
(b) The report may be oral or written. The report will state only the action taken and the vote. Unless authorized by the majority of the City Council, the report will not state the debate or discussion that occurred. Except for the action taken and the vote, all closed session discussions will remain confidential.

SECTION 10. DECORUM

10.1 Council Members. Members of the City Council value and recognize the importance of the trust invested in them by the public to accomplish the business of the City. Council Members shall accord the utmost courtesy to each other, City employees, and the public appearing before the City Council.

10.2 City Employees. Members of the City staff shall observe the same rules of order and decorum applicable to the City Council. City staff shall act at all times in a business and professional manner towards Council Members and members of the public.

10.3 Public. Members of the public attending City Council meetings shall observe the same rules of order and decorum applicable to the City Council. These Standards and Procedures shall apply to all City Council Meetings. In addition to rules stated elsewhere in this Manual, members of the public:
(a) Shall limit comment time to that listed on the agenda; (b) May criticize City policies, procedures, programs and/or services or the acts or omissions of Council Members in carrying out their responsibilities as public officials, but shall refrain from disruptive behavior;
(c) Shall speak only from the podium when recognized by the Mayor, and shall address comments to the Mayor and not to staff or members of the audience; (d) Shall not approach individual Council Members while a meeting is in progress; (e) May provide written materials (10 copies recommended) to the Council during a meeting by giving the materials directly to the City Clerk.

10.4 Noise in the Chambers. Noise emanating from the audience, whether expressing opposition or support within the Council Chambers or lobby area, which disrupts City Council 23 | Page
meetings, shall not be permitted. All cell phones and other electronic devices shall be muted while in the chambers. Refusal is grounds for removal.

10.5 Removal. of Individuals or Groups Engaging in Disruptive Behavior. (a) Definition. Disruptive behavior is any action that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting. Verbal conduct is disruptive when it meets the standards described below.
(b) Disruptive verbal conduct based on identity. Continued use of loud, threatening, profane, or abusive language or verbal conduct that denigrates an individual because of race, color, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, or other protected category after a verbal warning from the presiding officer impedes the orderly conduct of the meeting. It interferes with the Council’s ability to accomplish its functions in a reasonably efficient matter by causing a distraction from City business, chilling other members of the public’s participation, interfering with the ability of those present to listen and understand the business and proceedings of the City or Council, and may constitute or contribute to employment or other types of discrimination.
(c) Removal procedure (general). The Mayor or presiding member of the Council has the authority to remove, or designate a person to remove, an individual or group for disrupting the Council meeting. Before taking this action, the Mayor/presiding member shall warn the individual or group that their behavior is disruptive and that failure to cease this behavior may result in their removal. If the behavior does not promptly cease, the individual may be removed.

Disruptive behavior is any action that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting.

No warning is required to precede removal if an individual engages in behavior that is a true threat of force. A true threat of force has sufficient indicia of intent and seriousness so that a reasonable observer would perceive it to be an actual threat to use force by the person who makes the threat.
(d) Removal procedure (disruptive verbal conduct based on identity), When a person engages in verbal conduct that denigrates an individual because of their race, color, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, or other protected category, the Mayor or presiding member of the Council shall take the following actions:

1. The Mayor/presiding member shall stop the speaker and read the relevant portions of the City’s Harassment-Free Workplace Policy. The Mayor/presiding member shall state that the City does not condone comments in violation of the City’s Policy and that the speaker’s harassment is unwanted and unwelcome and impedes the orderly conduct of the meeting by interfering with the Council’s ability to accomplish its functions in a reasonably efficient matter by causing a distraction from City business, chilling participation from other members of the public, interfering with the ability of those present to listen and understand the business and proceedings of the City, and may constitute or contribute to employment or other forms of discrimination.
24 | Page

2. The Mayor/presiding member shall state that any City employee present may be excused from attendance at the meeting during the speaker’s remarks.

3. The Mayor/presiding member shall hold the speaker’s time and the speaker may resume speaking after the Mayor/presiding member’s statement, unless the speaker’s comments continue to disrupt, disturb, or impede the orderly conduct of the meeting. If the speaker continues to disrupt, disturb, or impede the orderly conduct of the meeting, the Mayor/presiding member may prohibit the speaker from further commenting or may order the speaker to be removed from the meeting.

4. After the end of the speaker’s comments, any Councilmember may make a brief response to such comments, if desired.
(e) Removal procedure (disruptive group). If a meeting is willfully disrupted by a group of people so as to render the orderly conduct of the meeting unfeasible, the Mayor/presiding member shall first attempt to maintain order. If unsuccessful, the Mayor/presiding member may call a recess, adjourn the meeting to another date, or order the removal of the people disrupting the meeting. If order is not restored by removing the people disrupting the meeting, the Mayor/presiding member may order the meeting room cleared and continue holding the meeting. Representatives of the media, except those participating in the disturbance, shall be allowed to continue attending the meeting.

10.6 Dangerous Instruments. No person may enter the chambers of a legislative body as defined in Section 54852 of the Government Code of the State of California or any place were such legislative body is in session, with any firearm, weapon, or explosive device of any nature.

The provisions of this section shall not apply to authorized peace officers or to those persons authorized by the Penal Code of the State to carry such weapons.

10.7 Prosecution. Aggravated cases shall be prosecuted on appropriate complaint to the City Prosecutor.

SECTION 11. ENFORCEMENT OF DECORUM

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEETING OF: March 27, 2024 Agenda Item No. 11
Subject: Consideration of an Appeal of Planning Commission Decision to Deny the Architectural Review Application of Galen Grant to Allow for Permitting an Existing Yurt at 803 Uren Street
From: Lisa McCandless, City Planner
Date: March 22, 2023
Reviewed & Approved:

City Manager: STG
City Attorney:

Recommended Action: After holding a hearing, Council shall make a decision whether to uphold, overturn, or modify the Planning Commission decision to deny the Architectural Review Application.

ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:

At the February 15, 2024 Planning Commission meeting Galen Grant presented his architectural review application to the commission as a request to allow as-built approval for both a detached 480 square foot ADU and a 452 square foot canvas sided yurt. The Planning Commission voted to approve the ADU portion of the architectural review application and deny the yurt.

Background:

The subject property has a primary residence and several outbuildings including a detached garage, several sheds, a yurt, an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and a partially constructed second home. The property is

1.49 acres and is in the R1 (single family residential) zone. In June of 2023 the City received several complaints and questions about a new home that was being built on the property inquiring if the proper permits had been obtained. It was found that a new residence was being built without a building permit and also that renters were occupying both the ADU and the yurt. Construction was halted and the owner was issued a red tag for that building and also for other buildings on the lot that were constructed without permits or planning approval.

The erection of all buildings in Nevada City requires an architectural review permit except those singlefamily and multi-family residential buildings that are subject to ministerial approvals as defined in the municipal code. The yurt is not subject to ministerial approval and requires Planning Commission approval.

All buildings over 160 square feet in the city require a building permit in addition to an architectural review permit. Within the parameters of the California Building Code canvas sided yurts are able to obtain building permits for storage use (U occupancy) but do not meet the requirements for energy efficiency and wildland urban interface (WUII) to be used or permitted for human habitation. As such, this building could be permitted for storage purposes as an accessory building but not for guest quarters, detached office, or otherwise. The yurt that was presented in the application requested to maintain its bathroom, electrical wiring, and woodstove. As submitted the structure is inconsistent with storage use (U occupancy) and presents itself as guest quarters or office use. If approved the yurt could be used for overnight stays or for purposes other than storage and become an issue of code compliance again in the future. Staff also has concerns about impacts on water and sewer tie ins with this building. Staff also initially did not provide the applicant with an option of architectural review and required demolition of this yurt and another that exists on the property.

Planning Commission Decision:

The Planning Commission made a motion to deny the yurt application based on the following findings:
a) That the structure type is non-standard and is not “customarily appurtenant” to the residential use of the property and is inconsistent with the R1 zoning (Section 17.24.030 of the City’s Municipal Code); and
b) That the yurt is incompatible with Nevada City architecture and the context of the surrounding neighborhood.

Since yurts are not expressly allowed or prohibited in our Municipal Code, the commission was faced with making a decision based on whether or not the structure is consistent with Nevada City architecture and whether it is compatible in the context of the neighborhood. The city’s goal in requiring architectural review is to implement the goals of the City’s general plan by preserving the character of Nevada City architecture in terms of historical value, site coverage, and planning, volume and massing, materials, general design, and details (Section 17.88.040 B).

The commission discussed the usage of the structure and the occupancy types to understand what was proposed. Concerns about the WUI (wildland urban interface) standards and requirements under the California Building Code were of concern as well. The commission evaluated whether architectural review standards are different for a residence vs. an accessory structure and discussed that there should be more leniency/different standards for accessory structures than for residences.

The Planning Commission’s motion made by Rodney Brown and seconded by Peter VanZant was: “Go with staff recommendation and do not approve the yurt.” The motion carried with a 3:1 vote.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: March 27, 2024 Agenda Item No. 12
Subject: Consideration of the Issuance of a Purchase Order to Future Chevrolet of Sacramento in an Amount Not-To-Exceed $66,476.15 for the Purchase of a Chevy Tahoe School Resource Officer Patrol Vehicle Using Proposition 64 Cohort 3 Funding.

From: Sean Mason, Acting Police Lieutenant
Date: March 20, 2024
Reviewed & Approved:

City Manager: STG
City Attorney:

Recommended Action: Approve the purchase and authorize the purchase order.

ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:

The Nevada City Police department has received funding for a School Resource Officer (SRO) through Proposition 64 Cohort 2 and Cohort 3 grant award. The Cohort 3 grant award provides funding for a vehicle for the SRO position. Bids were collected from different dealerships in the Sacramento region with Future Chevrolet in Folsom having the lowest bid. The City has purchased vehicles from Future Chevrolet in the past. This request is for the vehicle purchase only. Upfitting the vehicle with required law enforcement related equipment will occur through a separate vendor and transaction at a later date but still utilizing Proposition 64 Cohort 3 funding.

FINANCIAL AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The total amount of $66,476.15 for the SRO Chevy Tahoe Patrol Vehicle is reimbursable from the Proposition 64 Cohort 3 grant. Once placed in service, insurance, ongoing maintenance, and operations expenses will be covered by the existing City budget. It should be noted that the fleet vehicles for Nevada City have an average time of use of approximately ten years.

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.

CITY OF NEVADA CITY

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: March 27, 2024 Agenda Item No. 13
Subject: Consideration of Selecting the 100% Renewable
Sourced Green100 Product for Electricity Sourced from
Pioneer Community Energy for City Electricity Accounts.

From: Sean Grayson, City Manager
Date: March 17, 2024
Reviewed & Approved:

City Manager:

City Attorney:

Recommended Action: Approve the selection of the Green100 selection for City accounts.

ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:

The City of Nevada City joined Pioneer Community Energy (Pioneer) in January 2024 to provide city residents and businesses with an alternative to Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) for electricity generation.

Pioneer is a local government, not-for-profit, joint powers authority. Vice Mayor Petersen is the appointed by the City Council to the Pioneer Governing Board with Councilmember Ceci as the alternate. The Governing Board consists of eleven locally elected representatives from the El Dorado County and Placer County Boards of Supervisors, and the local government councils of Auburn, Colfax, Lincoln, Loomis, Placerville, Rocklin, Grass Valley, and Nevada City. The Governing Board provides policy direction to Pioneer including approval of annual budgets and rate setting.

Pioneer offers two products: Pioneer Standard (44.1% renewable) or Green100 (100% renewable). Upon enrollment with Pioneer, all customers receive the Standard product with a choice to voluntarily opt-up to Green100 at any time. PG&E offers only one product option (38.3% renewable).

Pioneer is the only electricity provider in this region that offers a 100% renewable energy option for residents and businesses. Renewable resources used for Green100 are published annually on Pioneer’s Power Content Label and may include geothermal, wind, solar, hydroelectric, and biomass energy production.

As part of the transition to Pioneer, the City evaluated Pioneer’s product offerings, their respective rate structures as compared to PG&E’s products, and rates for City accounts. Reducing electricity costs continues to be a high priority for the City. The analysis found that both of Pioneer’s are less expensive than PG&E’s product.

The City also has established goals for sourcing electricity from renewable sources. Enrollment in Green100 provides the additional benefit of choosing electricity from sources that are more heavily weighted towards renewable energy, which can provide electricity with little or no greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Choosing the Green100 option provides the City resources to meet state-mandated carbon reduction requirements.

The following is a table summarizing Nevada City’s electricity accounts from January through December 2023, which provides a comparison of the estimated savings by switching from PG&E to Pioneer Standard or Pioneer Green100.

FINANCIAL AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

Selection of the Green100 product is anticipated in resulting in an approximate savings of $5000 over current fiscal year rates with PG&E.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

This action is aligned with the embedded strategic initiative of Climate: Planning for and building resilience through adaptation to climate change. This action is consistent with the embedded strategic initiative of Engagement: Community engagement and communications with stakeholders.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Not applicable.

LEGAL REVIEW:

CITY OF NEVADA CITY

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: March 27, 2024 Agenda Item No. 14
Subject: Consideration of 1) Calling for a Facilitated
Community Conversation on the Topic of Islamophobia,
Antisemitism, and the Role of Local Government in Providing a Safe and Peaceful Community in Consideration of the OnGoing Human Tragedy in Israel and Palestine; and 2) Approving an Agreement with the Consensus Building Institute for Facilitation Services and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute any Related Documents.

From: Sean Grayson, City Manager
Date: March 17, 2024
Reviewed & Approved:

City Manager:

City Attorney:

Recommended Action: Approve the development of a community conversation process and supporting agreement for facilitation services.

ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:

Background
In response to the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel conducted by Hamas and the response to this attack on Gaza by Israel, Nevada City council meetings have been a place where residents have come to share their concerns. Some community members have consistently asked over the months that the council join the growing number of cities and counties across the country in passing a Gaza Ceasefire Resolution, other community members have asked the council not to weigh in on geo-political issues and “stick to the business of the city”.

Similar to other cities and counties faced with this situation, Nevada City and its environs have experienced an increase in Antisemitism and Islamophobia, all of this contributing to a sense of unrest in our community with people feeling targeted and unsafe.

Current Situation
Council members have spent significant effort determining how best to move through this complex situation while honoring the needs of our entire community. Recognizing the limitations of having meaningful dialogues within the traditional structure of government meetings, the Mayor and Vice Mayor are proposing that the City council support an alternative structure that calls for a facilitated community workshop focused on the role of local government in providing a safe and peaceful community in consideration of the ongoing human tragedy in Palestine and Israel. The meeting will be jointly hosted with elected officials from the cities of Nevada City and Grass Valley and the County of Nevada, in addition to other willing community members.

The meeting would intend to inform future decision-making by our local government bodies on the topic.

By moving in this direction, opportunities will be provided for perspectives on all sides of the issue in a safe space for open dialogue. This opportunity would also allow elected officials to close the gap between what the local government knows and understands about the situation’s impact on our local community and what it does not know; this knowledge gap impedes an informed decision on the right course for local government and our community.

The City Council is expected to invite anyone wishing to listen or be heard to the community conversation.

The goal is to conduct this meeting in April; however, this is not a firm date, as preparations must be made to ensure the meeting is safe, productive, and meaningful to all. Preparations include the facilitator conducting listening sessions with various stakeholder groups to help inform and scope the community conversation.

Agreement with the Consensus Building Institute
Through a series of contacts, the City has worked with the Consensus Building Institute (CBI) to secure the services of a highly qualified and experienced facilitator. CBI is a nonprofit organization founded in 1993 that works with leaders, advocates, experts, and communities to promote effective negotiations, build consensus, and resolve conflicts. Dorit Price-Levine, a CBI employee, will facilitate the community conversation. The Scope of Work and Ms. Price-Levin’s brief biography are attachments to this staff report.

The requested action would authorize an agreement with CBI in an amount not to exceed $30,000.

FINANCIAL AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The proposed scope of work from CBI has a total cost of $29,705. The City may receive partial recovery of these costs from other entities participating in the conversation, however the City will account for the full amount as an expenditure within the City Council Program Budget.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

This action is consistent with the embedded strategic initiative of Engagement: Community engagement and communications with stakeholders.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Not applicable.

1 SCOPE OF WORK
Facilitation Support for Nevada City
Nevada City would like to engage the Consensus Building Institute (CBI) to facilitate conversations to support the Nevada City Council in clarifying its internal values and potentially also an external policy position to Israel-Palestine. The impetus for this work is the highly antagonistic environment in the Nevada City council in the wake of the escalation and unprecedented violence in the last five months in Gaza, since the attacks in Israel on October 7th. CBI will ideally work not only with the Nevada City Council leadership but will also engage with a small design team to help inform the process. The goal will be to arrive at a lasting, consensus-driven decision, to rebuild some of the frayed trust between stakeholders, and to establish a model for an approach to future decisionmaking around charged issues.

Nevada City would like to engage CBI to facilitate a half-day session in April for stakeholders. In the lead up to that session, CBI will meet remotely with Nevada City leadership and perhaps other stakeholders to collaboratively design the process.

CBI’s scope of work will include:
● Planning with Nevada City’s Mayor, as well as other lead staff to establish goals, approach, messaging, prep needs and logistics
● Convening a small planning team of key stakeholders to further refine the goals, approach, and design of the in-person and virtual sessions ● Planning the sessions, including agendas, materials and logistics ● Facilitating the in-person and virtual conversations and decision-making sessions ● Debriefing/discussing follow-up actions
CBI’s principal points of contact will be Gary Peterson and Daniela Fernandez.

Cost Estimate
Please see draft budget below. CBI and Nevada City will refine this budget and the anticipated tasks therein, based on project needs and priorities.

Dear Mayor Fernández, Vice-Mayor Petersen, Councilmember Fleming, Councilmember Kline, and Councilmember Ceci:

I am writing to support the recommendation to develop a Nevada City Zero Waste Foodware Ordinance as presented by Waste Not Nevada County at the meeting of the Nevada City Council on March 27, 2024.

Plastic pollution is a major global environmental and public health concern. Plastic waste harms the ecosystem integrity of our local Yuba River, and negatively impacts the experience of local residents and visitors. Plastic and particularly single use plastic is a growing waste stream that overburdens our limited landfill space and costs taxpayer money to process.

In addition, plastic produces greenhouse gases throughout its lifecycle, contributing to disruptive climate change. As a city that is vulnerable to climate disasters including drought and wildfire, we should do all we can to encourage local businesses and services to adopt climate-friendly solutions.

Many other cities in California like Truckee, Berkeley, and dozens more already have plastic bans in place. These ordinances include helpful steps to reduce plastic pollution including:

1. Banning the sale and distribution of polystyrene foam in any form (e.g.

Stryrofoam);

2. Requiring food vendors to provide reusable foodware for customers dining in, banning use of any single-use plastic or other single use items for dining in;

3. Requiring food related businesses to charge a $0.25 customer fee on disposable cups and takeout food containers (excluding leftover takeouts from dining in);

4. Requiring that accessory foodware items (utensils, napkins, sauce packets, etc.) may only be provided only upon a customer’s request (per CA SB 1276 – already in effect).

Businesses almost always find that taking these steps to switch away from single use plastic and other disposable items actually saves them money. And there are many programs and funding sources available to support local businesses to convert from throwaway to durables, which can be explored on www.plasticfreerestaurants.org.

Also, California has more restrictive state plastic policies on the way via SB 54. And, the United Nations are currently negotiating a global agreement to end plastic pollution. This agreement, or “Global Plastic Treaty,” is due out in Fall 2024. So now is an excellent time for local communities like Nevada city to get ahead of the curve and bring businesses along.

Further, passing local foodware ordinances also sends a clear message to state and federal lawmakers that communities are ready to make changes, encouraging them to take the broader global action we need to end the plastic pollution crisis.

Thus, I encourage the Nevada City Council to adopt a foodware ordinance as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Ember Amador

This agreement, or “Global Plastic Treaty,” is due out in Fall 2024. So now is an excellent time for local communities like Nevada city to get ahead of the curve and bring businesses along.

Further, passing local foodware ordinances also sends a clear message to state and federal lawmakers that communities are ready to make changes, encouraging them to take the broader global action we need to end the plastic pollution crisis.

Thus, I encourage the Nevada City Council to adopt a foodware ordinance as soon as possible.

Dear Mayor Fernández, Vice-Mayor Petersen, Councilmember Fleming, Councilmember Kline, and Councilmember Ceci:

I am writing to enthusiastically support the recommendation to develop a Nevada City Zero Waste Foodware Ordinance as presented by Waste Not Nevada County at the meeting of the Nevada City Council on March 27, 2024.

Plastic pollution is a major global environmental and public health concern. Plastic waste harms the ecosystem integrity of our local Yuba River, and negatively impacts the experience of local residents and visitors. Plastic and particularly single use plastic is a growing waste stream that overburdens our limited landfill space and costs taxpayer money to process.

In addition, plastic produces greenhouse gases throughout its lifecycle, contributing to disruptive climate change. As a city that is vulnerable to climate disasters including drought and wildfire, we should do all we can to encourage local businesses and services to adopt climate-friendly solutions.

Many other cities in California like Truckee, Berkeley, and dozens more already have plastic bans in place. These ordinances include helpful steps to reduce plastic pollution including:

1. Banning the sale and distribution of polystyrene foam in any form (e.g.

Stryrofoam);

2. Requiring food vendors to provide reusable foodware for customers dining in, banning use of any single-use plastic or other single use items for dining in;

3. Requiring food related businesses to charge a $0.25 customer fee on disposable cups and takeout food containers (excluding leftover takeouts from dining in);

4. Requiring that accessory foodware items (utensils, napkins, sauce packets, etc.) may only be provided only upon a customer’s request (per CA SB 1276 – already in effect).

Businesses almost always find that taking these steps to switch away from single use plastic and other disposable items actually saves them money. And there are many programs and funding sources available to support local businesses to convert from throwaway to durables, which can be explored on www.plasticfreerestaurants.org.

Also, California has more restrictive state plastic policies on the way via SB 54. And, the United Nations are currently negotiating a global agreement to end plastic pollution. This agreement, or “Global Plastic Treaty,” is due out in Fall 2024. So now is an excellent time for local communities like Nevada city to get ahead of the curve and bring businesses along.

Further, passing local foodware ordinances also sends a clear message to state and federal lawmakers that communities are ready to make changes, encouraging them to take the broader global action we need to end the plastic pollution crisis.

Thus, I encourage the Nevada City Council to adopt a foodware ordinance as soon as possible. If the Council is in need of further support to make this happen I would be glad to assist.

Hello Nevada City Council,
As a frequent tourist in Nevada City, this $30,000 facilitation to hear both sides about whether genocide is OK does not make me want to go spend time and thereby money in Nevada City. I need a ceasefire and end to the siege on Gaza so I can stop fighting so hard and get back to doing things just for fun like kayaking and hiking with my friends and going out for meals and drinks in Nevada City.

Council Members,
Knowing that you will be receiving a lot of public comments for item #14 tonight, I am sending an email with my comments.

I fully support the Council moving in the direction of hiring a consultant to lead a community discussion on the very controversial topic of Palestine/Israel ceasefire resolution. Personally, as a Jewish American I would be extremely proud of Nevada City should the decision be made to create a ceasefire resolution. I believe it would send an impactful message as to the values of our community. I am horrified by the barbaric actions of Hamas on 10/7 and I am equally disgusted by the forceful destruction by Israel. The only reasonable action is to stop fighting.

Enough is enough. Bring the hostages home and provide a pathway towards peace for all.

There has been too much suffering and it must stop.

With all of that said, the $30k price tag for the consultant is outrageous and feels like an egregious amount for the City to spend. Are there any other organizations that could lead these discussions at a lower price tag? I would like to see those options and will be watching the discussion tonight to see what else is on the table besides the Consensus Building Institute.

The budget they proposed seems grossly inflated.

Thank you and good luck tonight,

Re: Agenda Item 14.

Consideration of 1) Calling for a Facilitated Community Conversation on the Topic of Islamophobia, Antisemitism, and the Role of Local Government in Providing a Safe and Peaceful Community in Consideration of the On-Going Human Tragedy in Israel and Palestine; and 2) Approving an Agreement with the Consensus Building Institute for Facilitation Services and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute any Related Documents Dear Mayor Fernandez and Council Members,
My name is Maggie Philipsborn, I am a resident of unincorporated Nevada City and have worked on Broad St. in downtown Nevada City the past 6 years.

This agenda item proposal is a very unique result of the ongoing discussion around the resolution supporting a ceasefire in Gaza. The proposal is also a very unique use of 30 thousand dollars, which is not a small amount of money. Potentially it is quite wonderful and profound that you, along with council members of Grass Valley and county staff or Board of Supervisors are willing to take the time to participate in a facilitated workshop on the role of local governments in creating safe and peaceful communities.

Nevada City City Council has a strong track record of supporting and passing resolutions supporting equity and inclusion. The cities strategic plan states that one of the Values We Share is the “support and commitment to a safe, just, equitable, diverse and inclusive Nevada City.” In June 2018 the Nevada City Council adopted a Resolution in Support of Racial Justice. In September 2020, Nevada City Council passed a resolution acknowledging the Nisenan and pledging support to help the tribe once again receive official recognition. In June 2022 City Council declared every June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and just last year the City Council elevated this to a Resolution to Honor the Diversity of Our Community. Nevada City has a leadership role in our county, our region and beyond, and this is something I and so many are truly proud and here because of.

We all want a safe and peaceful community, and violence is not a pathway to peace.

Remember that saying we all know and have said to children, Violence is Not the Answer.

The message to the world should not be that the response to violence is through greater force and greater violence. Violence is Not the Answer. You can set this example for our community, for future generations, to honor past generations, by supporting Peace. Let your actions show that you unequivocally support Peace, by passing a Gaza Cease-Fire Resolution. If we truly want a safe and peaceful community we must live by example, think globally and act locally. The United Nations resolution passed just this past Monday, March 25th; stand in right alignment with the majority of the world.

I support the city spending $30k for a facilitated workshop on how governments can support safe and peaceful communities, if additionally and simultaneously the City Council passes a resolution supporting an immediate Gaza Cease-Fire.

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Maggie Philipsborn

I'm sure you all know my views on the dangers of platforming genocide, but I've also got several other concerns about that facilitation process.

First off, I've been told on a number of occasions that one of the reasons council won't agendize a ceasefire resolution is because it would cost city budget. While I don't think that's a valid excuse, I guess I could understand it, but if that's really true then how is that the city can afford a $30,000 expense on this? Secondly, I've been informed that the June and July section of the proposed budget are typo's from previous budgets that the CBI has done. While I think it's fine to make mistakes, I do think that needs to be fixed before a vote can be held, since that's apparently not what's actually being voted on.

Thirdly, I've also been informed that there is supposedly going to be an Arab co-facilitator. If that's true I think that's great, but I'm concerned why that isn't on the agenda packet. Is it that the council is only voting on confirming, just this one facilitator, and voting again on confirming another later? If there is really another facilitator, I would appreciate having that information prior to an agenda item on this facilitation.

Lastly, I'm just confused on what's the outcome of this? I mean mayor Fernández has said it herself, that we're not going to come to consensus, so what's the outcome here? Just have us sit down and talk about our feelings on a genocide, and if it's good or bad? I hope you all can see that's wildly inappropriate, especially since we're not talking about simple political disagreements, we're talking about 35,000 people dead, and hundreds of thousands being starved to death.

I won't be there in person, but y'all know where I stand. Free Palestine! From: Merideth C

We want a ceasefire resolution and to say we stand against genocide.

Do not spend $30,000 on this unnecessary and time-consuming "Facilitated Community Process." It is a waste of taxpayer money.

Vote NO on this proposal. We the taxpayers and community members demand an unequivocal resolution calling for a ceasefire and the end of the genocide that the Israeli government is perpetuating during its occupation of the Palestinians' land.

As a resident of this city district, I strongly urge you to vote no on the facilities community process.

Dear Nevada City Councilmembers,
I am writing concerning agenda item 14 for this week's city council meeting, calling for a community conversation (...), and funding Dorit Levine-Price and the CBI for facilitation of said meeting. I am an Israeli-born Jew residing in Nevada City and work all around this county. I have looked at the proposed agenda item and I take issue with a number of its components. While the mayor and other councilmembers may see a need for a facilitated community discussion, no amount of conversation can or should legitimize "perspectives on all sides of the issue," when "the issue" is actually an unfolding genocide, and those perspectives may include views of Zionism. Zionism is a fascist, nationalist, violent movement that has called for ethnic cleansing of the residing population of Palestine at its inception. Giving weight to this view is akin to holding space for the hate speech of Nazis - a platform should not be given for such a hateful movement. This will not make those of us speaking out for Palestinian liberation and a ceasefire in Gaza feel safe in the slightest, but beyond this, this kind of conversation is not what we've asked for. Disappointingly, you all had an opportunity to speak out against an atrocity of the grandest scale, but that train has left the station. Even the UN has now passed a resolution for immediate ceasefire, and we fail as a community to follow suit.

A few years ago, I participated in a 6-week symposium of mediated talks concerning Israel/Palestine, held by a Bay area Jewish organization, amongst Jews that identified as Zionist, anti-Zionist, and folks who felt they were in between or didn't identify as either. These conversations were facilitated by somebody whose CV very much resembled Dorit's, and the discussion never went anywhere meaningful. Zionism was legitimized as a valid Jewish perspective, while a keen power analysis of the two overarching versions of history (Palestinian versus Israeli) was never pursued, and those histories were presented more or less equally (but given that there were no Palestinian attendants, and only one Palestinian presenter, the dynamics of the group receiving and discussing this information was problematic from the start). The stated goals, in retrospect, were to come to an understanding of each other's perspectives so as to de-escalate the violence inherent in the "debate." But nobody wanted to call out that the violence itself stems from an oppressive ideology that has resulted in the ethnic cleansing of one people by another over the course of 75 years. The violence of a militarized state that could never exist without the support of another militarized state. Like that symposium, this NVC-oriented "community" meeting already feels like a dead end, especially with seemingly no analysis of power and privilege (stated anywhere in the scope), and in regards to the urgent goals of valuing Palestinian life and condemning genocide.

If such a meeting is held, I fear also that those of us trying to speak out for the dwindling chance for salvation of Palestinian civil life will end up being complicit in a process that serves to legitimize Zionism and genocide denialism. I cannot abide by this while Palestines are being maliciously, intentionally, and sadistically starved, culturally gutted, bombed, raped, tortured, and executed. This is madness.

Furthermore, $30,000 as the price tag for a meeting of this nature, that nobody asked for, is an exorbitant amount. Does this money include a Palestinian or Arabic co-facilitator? We need more of a platform for the voices of the people whose lives are being impacted the most - Palestinians.

Another comment I would like to make is regarding agenda item 12, Consideration of the Issuance of a Purchase Order to Future Chevrolet of
Sacramento in an Amount Not-To-Exceed $66,476.15 for the Purchase of a Chevy Tahoe School Resource Officer Patrol Vehicle Using Proposition 64 Cohort 3 Funding. While my understanding is that this funding was already secured, the fact that "insurance, ongoing maintenance, and operations expenses will be covered by the existing City budget" is totally reprehensible, in that the last thing we should be funding as a city is any tools or equipment furthering police presence in grade schools. School resource officers do not make our schools safe. I do not support the council approving the issuance of this purchase order.

Dear Council Members,
I am the owner of 219 S.Pine St, Nevada City, a mother of 2 half Jewish children, and long time friend to a handful of people who have spoken to you opposing a ceasefire resolution.

I want to thank you for taking action on the concerns of the community about our national government's support of the horrible genocide in Gaza, with huge military aid, as well as blocking a permanent ceasefire in the UN.

I am deeply concerned about the process being a consensus process with people supporting Israel's openly stated genocide. I don't know how this city consensus process will deal with the level of intense racism that underlies their beliefs on how to deal with the severe human rights abuses Israel has enacted for years upon Palestinians and lack of sovereignty the Palestinian people have, which is the context to the current conflict? Clearly, this genocide is not making Israel a safer place to live in.

Personally, I hear intense racism in even the mildest questioning of pro Israel folks (friends) beliefs, so as an analogy from the past, I see it as a meeting attempting to have consensus with people supporting racial segregation in the U.S., with people who know that racial justice and equality are what is needed for a peaceful and thriving world for all. How can any trust be built with people who support internationally illegal expansion of Jewish settlements in Palestinian territory , and why is that the goal of this expensive meeting when the request has been for a permanent ceasefire resolution, all aid allowed in, and a statement against all hate,? Additionally, essential to this process is representation which is not there without a Palestinian co facilitator and Palestinian Americans as a part of the conversation. Please make sure that is a part of this meeting.

I would like part of this process to be to look at how power structures, structural racism, and militarized action created an unsafe and sad world we are raising our children in. And how we as a town of caring people can create a peaceful and safe world for all by standing clearly against injustice, and for mediated solutions which do not include consensus with people supporting intense violence to others.

Thank you, Raya Amanda Grieb.

Subject: Opposition to Proposal: Facilitated Conversations on Islamophobia and Antisemitism, Advocating for Community Support
Dear council Memebers
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my opposition to the proposal for facilitated conversations focusing on Islamophobia and antisemitism, especially considering the significant cost involved, amounting to $30,000.

While addressing issues of discrimination and prejudice is undoubtedly important, I believe there are more impactful ways to utilize such funds that directly benefit our community.

Instead of investing in facilitated conversations, I propose redirecting these resources towards initiatives aimed at supporting the homeless and enhancing our community's well-being.

Given the pressing challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness, including access to shelter, food, and essential services, investing in programs that provide tangible support and assistance can make a meaningful difference in their lives. By allocating funds towards initiatives such as shelter provisions, job training, mental health services, or outreach programs, we can address immediate needs and work towards sustainable solutions to homelessness.

Additionally, I encourage exploring opportunities to support community-based organizations and initiatives that promote inclusivity, diversity, and understanding. By fostering a sense of belonging and unity within our community, we can collectively combat discrimination and prejudice in a more holistic and effective manner.

While addressing issues of discrimination and prejudice is undoubtedly crucial, investing such a substantial sum of money into facilitated conversations may not be the most effective or efficient approach. Given the sensitive nature of these topics and the complexities surrounding them, it is essential to ensure that any initiatives undertaken are well-informed, impactful, and culturally sensitive.

Instead of allocating funds towards facilitated conversations, I propose exploring alternative strategies that promote education, awareness, and community engagement. This could involve partnering with existing organizations or initiatives that specialize in combating Islamophobia and antisemitism, thereby leveraging their expertise and resources to achieve meaningful outcomes.

Furthermore, it is imperative to prioritize initiatives that address systemic issues of discrimination and promote inclusivity and diversity within our organization and broader community. By fostering a culture of respect, understanding, and empathy, we can create lasting change and contribute to a more equitable and harmonious society.

I believe that by prioritizing initiatives that directly benefit the most vulnerable members of our community, we can create a more compassionate and equitable society for all.

Thank you for considering my perspective. I am available to discuss further and collaborate on strategies that align with our shared values and commitment to community support.

Public comment for Nevada City city council meeting tonight, 3/27. Agenda Item #14.

My name is Violet and I live in downtown Nevada City with a three digit address. This is a public comment for agenda item 14.

I absolutely do not support having a Community Conversation about the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and I think it would be a disservice to everyone on the city council board, every citizen attending the meeting, and anyone else who is affected by money spent out of the city budget.

To invite people who feel unsafe in this community to talk to the people who are making them unsafe is absolutely dangerous and is going to do nothing but cause more problems. It will not be productive in any way, nor will it create a "safe space for open dialogue".

At best, this will be a waste of our money and our time- you already know how the community feels about this issue, you've been listening to us for months now. You already have the information you need to make your decision, there's no need to spend $30,000 to listen to us tell you the same thing we say each meeting. In response to this statement specifically: "This opportunity would also allow elected officials to close the gap between what the local government knows and understands about the situation’s impact on our local community and what it does not know; this knowledge gap impedes an informed decision on the right course for local government and our community." how can you say this? Do you really think that this is true? For months, we've been telling you in grave detail *exactly* how this is affecting the community! The community has a chance every single meeting to tell you how these things affect us, and we have been, there's no need to create a secondary meeting to hear us out on this issue we've been discussing with such detail already.

At worst, this will be dangerous and cause an increase of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism throughout Nevada City. Inviting hateful people to have a discussion with the marginalized people that they are hateful towards is going put the marginalized people in the way of more harm. If this was about condemning white supremacy, would you invite "perspectives from all sides" to come have "safe space for open dialogue"?

Hello, my name is Jalana Smith, resident of Nevada county for 42 years and a member of the Nevada county for palestine coalition. I am writing to add my public comment in regards to two items on the agenda tonight.

Item #12 this seems absolutely unnecessary, i do not support the presence of law enforcement on school campuses, nor the expensive purchase of a vehicle for such an officer.

Item #14
I have multiple concerns about the county spending $30,000 to discuss Islamophobia and Antisemitism. Although this is an important conversation, I dont see why is should cost the city $30,000 to decide whether to take a stand against these things. I also feel that this meeting is meant to be some sort of replacement instead of making a statement in favor of a ceasefire for which we have been asking for months. Just another tactic to put off making a statement, all the while people are dying. I truly hope that this meeting if it goes forward leads to an eventual ceasefire statement. But it feels outrageous to me to spend $30,000 to discuss whether or not you condemn a genocide. There are many questions about the meeting that others will be bringing to you in person tonight,such as who the cofascilitator is, how stakeholders will be chosen, etc... I will be watching online, I wish that zoom could be resumed fir public comment. But I trust that my fellow coalition members who are able to come in person will bring up our many thoughts and concerns and that you are able to address them tonight.

Thank you,
Jalana Smith

Hi,
My name is Rebecca Quinonez and I strongly oppose item 14 on the city council agenda for today. I believe spending $30k is highly unnecessary when that money could be allocated to something much more beneficial. I believe it’s fruitless to spend that much money on a facilitated discussion. I doubt a Palestinian person who has lost dozens of their family members is interested in learning about the perspective of someone who supports the state who killed their family. Minds and hearts do not change that quickly, and if forgiveness is the goal then first and foremost material change needs to occur- which means a complete and permanent ceasefire and an end to the occupation. The council should have passed a ceasefire resolution.

Thank you.

I just learned that the email address I was given was incorrect. I sincerely hope that I can make a statement this evening despite being 10 minutes past the deadline due to a typo. Thank you.

The Israeli Government is being recorded and documented on a daily basis, violating international law, humanitarian law and committing war crimes.

This week, Francesca Albanese - International lawyer, scholar, and former UN official, declared - following months of investigation and research - that the Israeli government has, in fact, enacted three, CALCULATED counts of genocide upon the indigenous population of Occupied Palestine.

Today, and in this very moment, North Gaza is being thoroughly cleansed of all Palestinian bodies with the publicized and declared intent to demolish rebuild for Israeli settlements.

Today, I watched video footage of Palestinian men waving white flags while walking the coastline in an attempt to reach their home in North Gaza. One by one, a tank approached them, shot them down, and a bulldozer followed behind to push their bodies into a pile of rubble.

Anyone who has been paying attention, has seen the footage of the 4 family members who were also walking north on an open road and were hit by a drone missile. Two of the young men who were still able to walk, walked onward and were shortly thereafter also blown to pieces by drone missiles.

The ongoing, intentional blockades of humanitarian aid are causing the immediate starvation of children at this very moment. Hundreds have already died of malnutrition, and in the coming weeks, there will inevitably be thousands. This was predicted to occur MONTHS AGO by humanitarian experts.

There are countless videos, tweets and posts made by Israeli government officials, Zionist leaders, members of the Israeli occupation force, as well as civilian Israeli settlers -including Rabbis- DECLARING that Gaza, the West Bank, the entire region AND BEYOND into parts of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt, must be “cleansed of Arabs.” I won’t bother getting into the religious prophecies that drive these notions for some of these Zionist groups.

For all of these reasons, delaying an immediate cease-fire resolution and allocating nearly $30,000 to a mediation and negotiation process over the next few months is positively irrational and immoral. It will be merely a distraction, a deflection, and an intentional BUYING-of time to avoid taking a public stand.

In regards to education, residents of Nevada County are perfectly capable and willing to organize and manage what you are proposing using tax money in order to bring forth in the coming months in regards to raising awareness around Islamophobia, antisemitism, the history of Zionism, cultures of the Middle East, and other basic, anthropological topics.

If you choose to delay what is MORALLY JUST, and choose remain on the wrong side of history, you will be left behind when your moral and conscious community members rise up and take your seats.

I am the homeowner of 757 Old Washington Rd, Nevada City, CA, one of 803 Uren's closest neighbors. I am greatly concerned with the disregard of city codes ongoing at 803 Uren. The secondary home under construction is a major obstruction to my privacy and property value.

When I purchased my property in April of 2021 I could not have anticipated neighbors would be constructing a secondary home within ~100 of my property in direct ear and eye shot from my primary living space. I have not complained in the past, but I was curious if proper permitting was obtained. I have met Galen, and he was nice enough, but I found it odd that someone could move from out of state and immediately start building a second home on a lot that appears to be at capacity. We all have to obey city ordinances, and so should he.

Sincerely,
Mark O'Geen
