(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;

The Mayor or presiding member of the Council has the authority to remove, or designate a person to remove, an individual for disrupting the Council meeting. Disruptive behavior is any action that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting. Before taking this action, the Mayor/presiding member shall warn the individual 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.

Economic Development
Action Plan
Kimberly Parker, County Economic Development Office
Bill Mueller, ICS Consulting
City of Nevada City
June 26, 2024
Economic Development Action Plan
Unanimously approved by Board March 26, 2024
Plan represents “Step No. 3” in the progression of the County’s economic development vision and strategy
begun a few years ago.
Because the ED office is new, this two-year Action
Plan is intended to provide interim guidance.
Emphasized rapid development (7 months),
deployment, and learning as we go. Formulated as a
“Playbook.”
Value of the Playbook approach:
3 Action Plan is designed as a playbook – a set of business or job-building activities or “plays” that can be activated based on best timing, available talent and resources, and support from a “coalition of the willing.”
The playbook approach empowers all individuals, groups, and communities to choose to enact the specific activities in the Action Plan that match their priorities.
While local groups can advance their part of the plan, each action item is linked to larger strategies that, when combined, create a force-multiplier effect.
A playbook enables adaption and flexibility in rapidly changing times.
Leverages the talents
and capacity of the
entire community. No
one is a bystander.
Creates flexibility and
adaptability
Alignment focus of the Action Plan
Imperative: Increase alignment around existing
efforts
Two types of work products, closely linked:
1) Deliver a set of realistic and actionable strategies and tactics that will guide the actions and
investments of the County; and
2) Increase alignment in the actions between the
County and its various economic development
partners to improve economic efficiency and
impact.
4 Key-informant
driven
5 6
2024-26 Focus Areas:
7 1. Align around a “grow-from-within” mindset to build a strong foundation.
2. Concentrate business startup, retention, recruitment, and expansion activities in five key sectors (IT and advanced manufacturing, healthcare and social services, recreation and sustainable tourism, food and agriculture, and construction)
3. Increase County economic development support and
investment.
4. Boost the visibility of the County and its assets.
5. Add additional tools and information to support local business growth.
Prioritize building a strong, unified foundation.
Putting the Action Plan to Work
8 Objectives and strategies scaled to the two-year activation window. Close to 70% of the strategies can be implemented in the short-term once additional permissions are obtained and funding is found. An annual work plan defines the priorities for that year. Key performance indicators (KPIs) would be attached to priority actions once agreement reached with partners.
Regular progress monitoring and reporting to the BOS and stakeholders. Regular check-ins with Economic Partners an early next step. Community “road show” to build broad awareness and enlist participants Coordinated Actions for Municipalities
Collaborate with the County to engage with local employers licensed in their jurisdiction for improved communication flow, speed assistance, and signal “early warning” system.
Team on a business retention and expansion (BRE) campaign to support local employers for growth and remove “pain points.” Actively support local startup and business support groups. Continue to invest in broadband deployment and improving other business infrastructure.
Focus on permitting and rapid approval of workforce housing.

o Land Water Conservation Fund grant opportunities.
o Urban Forestry Grants
The department has applied for grant funds to develop an Urban Forestry Plan (application due 05/30), resolution is on the agenda for the 05/22/24 meeting.
Defensible Space Inspections
Beginning May 1st the Office of Emergency Services (OES) will begin defensible space inspections of all parcels within City limits. Education plays a crucial role in wildfire preparedness. The city is dedicated to raising awareness about the risks of wildfires and empowering residents to take necessary precautions to protect their properties. A new defensible space inspection software called Fire Aside will be utilized to provide customized reports for each parcel. In each report, recipients will be given a clear list of tasks and priorities to ensure their property is adequately protected and a healthy defensible space is created. Fire Aside will aid the City in ensuring properties are following the defensible space ordinance that is aligned with CAL FIRE and Nevada County standards. Attached is a summary of inspection as of 06/19/24.
Staff is currently drafting letters to send to property owners that have not accessed their report and have properties that constitute a fire hazard. Within the letter the report will available along with City resources to help landowners come into compliance with the city ordinance. Staff will also be considering reinspection’s of priority properties.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: June 26, 2024 Agenda Item No. 05
Subject: Consideration of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Information Technology Services Between the City of Nevada City and County of Nevada.
From: Sean Grayson, City Manager
Date: June 20, 2024
Reviewed & Approved:
City Manager:
City Attorney:
Recommended Action: Approve the MOU and authorize the City Manager to sign any related documents.
ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:
The City of Nevada City has used the services of the County of Nevada Information Systems Department for Information Technology (IT) for both City and police department specific activities for nearly 10 years.
The existing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for services is seven years old and does not reflect the IT needs of the City nor is it consistent with the MOUs the County has for other customers such as LAFCo or the Grand Jury. The included letter, MOU, and equipment and connectivity list will bring Nevada City into alignment with all customer contracts with the County and address several technical needs of the City not addressed in the current contract.
The MOU outlines costs for connectivity, licenses for software, charges for email and related individual support activities, computer support, and printer support. Under the previous MOU the City was paying a small annual MOU cost but charged an hourly rate for all other activities including those that would be considered routine and not charged for in other situations. The new MOU aligns the City with other customers and, although the annual contract is significantly more expensive, it is essentially all inclusive such that additional fees will not be charged for routine IT support. There will still be charges for new devices, installations, and other activities that the City pays for separate from the existing MOU.
The City gains an economy of scale in using the County’s services versus contracting for or selfperformance of the related IT activities. More than half of the overall cost (just under $100,000) is pass through costs such as connectivity and licenses. The City could neither contract for nor higher a position to accomplish the work provided by the County under the MOU even for the full cost much less the service fees to the county after the pass-through costs are deducted.
FINANCIAL AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The $99,106.66 cost associated with IT services under this MOU are budgeted for in the adopted fiscal year2024/2025 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.

RE: FY 24/25 Technical Support rate
It has been a pleasure to work with you over the last several months to update and enhance the Information Technology Support MOU between the City and County. This revised agreement provides the structure to engage in a more consistent manner for the planning and maintenance of the City’s Information Technology with the intent to improve collaboration and ensure the software, connectivity, and technology equipment used to operate and deliver services to the community are maintained properly.
Within the updated agreement, a focus on shared ownership to maintain strong security is created, shifting from response-based service to continuous training, maintenance, and planned updates to software and hardware.
For Fiscal 24/25, the cost for service calculated on the elements of the MOU will be $99,106.66. This includes the additional annual expense previously direct-paid by the City to AT&T.

Recommended Action: Adopt the resolution.
ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:
Unit J Social Club, located at 124 Argall Way in Nevada City, is a new social club in the community occupying the site of two previous brewery styled businesses. Unit J Social Club, a 501(c)(7) non-profit private member social club dedicated to providing a unique space for enthusiasts of parlor games, with a particular focus on vintage pinball, billiards, and classic games. On May 16, 2024 the Planning Commission approved a modification to the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the site permitting the location to operate as proposed including the sale of alcohol if otherwise permitted and licensed. Unit J Social Club is seeking a Type 51 liquor license from the California Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC).
The regional area where Unit J Social Club is applying for an alcoholic beverage license is considered to have an over-concentration of alcoholic licenses by ABC. Prior to taking action on an application for certain types of liquor licenses under over-concentration conditions, the ABC requests that the City make a determination of Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) from the local agency to ensure granting an alcoholic beverage license will not cause undue hardship to the City.
On June 20, 2024, agents of the Nevada City Police Department inspected the premises. The business was in good repair, and no issues of concern were noted. During a search of Nevada City Police records, it does not appear that the two ABC licensed facilities at the same site have contributed to a disproportionate number of service calls for law enforcement.
The Nevada City Police Department recommends that the City Council approve the finding of Public Convenience and Necessity for Unit J Social Club’s application for an alcoholic beverage license, subject to the outlined conditions, because Unit J Social Club is an existing business in good standing, is unique to Nevada City, maintains current consumer expectations at the location, which maintains and improves the local economy, and contributes to Nevada City’s Seven Hills District vibrancy. The conditions include:
1. Sale of beer, wine, and spirits shall be limited to Unit J Social Club patrons only.
2. Sale of beer, wine, and spirits shall only occur during facility operations.
3. Sale of beer, wine, and spirits shall stop no later than 12:00AM.
4. Unit J Social Club shall be responsible for the conduct of patrons and staff for compliance with City codes within 100 feet of the premise.
5. Unit J Social Club will maintain a valid business license with the City of Nevada City.
It is further recommended that the Nevada City Council authorize the Nevada City Chief of Police to approve and sign any forms required for the completion of an alcoholic beverage license for Unit J Social Club. If the Chief of Police believes the process should be terminated or denied, this item will be returned to Nevada City Council for consideration.

ABC Letter of Necessity request
Dear Sean Grayson,
I am writing on behalf of Unit U Social Club, a local 501c7. As part of our endeavors to open our social club at this new location 124 Argall Way, we are applying for a type 51 liquor license.
We are currently in process of this and one of the items requested from the ABC was a letter of necessity coming from our local governing body.
To help assist with this request we wanted to include a description of our non profit so that the council members can get a more extensive view of what our private member club is all about.
We understand that our next steps will be for us to go before the city council and that this will be up to their discretion whether they vote to support our business endeavors. It is our hope that the council members will agree that a social club like Unit J will be a much needed addition to the 7 Hills Business District.
Unit J Social Club
Our Vision:
Welcome to Unit J Social Club, a 501(c)(7) non-profit private member social club dedicated to providing a unique space for enthusiasts of parlor games, with a particular focus on vintage pinball, billiards, and classic games. Our primary objective is to foster a vibrant community centered around the joy of parlor games and quality local members. This involves curating a diverse collection of vintage pinball machines along with other unique oddities to cater to individuals looking for an alternative social environment.
At the Unit J Social Club, our vision extends beyond merely providing a venue for playing games. We aspire to cultivate a welcoming and inclusive community where individuals from all walks of life can come together to bond over their shared love for parlor games. Through our dedication to preserving and promoting these timeless pastimes, we hope to inspire a new generation of enthusiasts and foster a sense of belonging among our members. In an era dominated by digital interactions, we offer a refreshing alternative—a place where members can forge meaningful relationships and engage in real conversations.
Operating Hours and Events:
Currently, our club operates every Friday from 4-11pm, with plans to expand to Saturday evenings as membership grows. Private events and member gatherings are also scheduled throughout the month, providing ample opportunities for socializing and celebrating special occasions. Members have the privilege of attending these events and bringing approved guests, ensuring an intimate and exclusive experience.
Membership and Governance:
Membership to the Unit J Social Club is open to individuals aged 21 and above who share a passion for parlor games. Prospective members are required to complete an application process and pay a monthly membership fee, which helps sustain the operations of the club.
The Board of directors must unanimously agree to allow new members into the club. Our board of directors oversees membership approvals and guides the club’s growth. With a cap set at 130 members, we prioritize quality over quantity to maintain a close-knit community atmosphere. Our members have the ability to invite guests, enabling the town to experience it for themselves. This guest policy allows locals to discover if the club aligns with their interests.
As a nonprofit, any additional money earned after expenses is used to purchase more games or attractions for the club. These are typically put forward by the Board, and then voted on by the members.
Facilities and Ambiance:
Our clubhouse boasts a unique venue equipped with a carefully curated selection of vintage pinball machines, billiards table, classic arcade games, chess sets, and many other sources of entertainment. The ambiance is designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of the golden era of parlor games. Any guest entering our clubhouse for the first time is instantly taken back by the visual spectacle and attention to detail. We have signed a lease for the 124 Argall Way location starting June 1st 2024, we feel after two months of cleaning and decorating we can transform this location into the same magical experience for Nevada CIty.
Staffing:
The 124 Argall Way location will require two servers, one doorman, one dishwasher, and one manager when the clubhouse is open. All employees are or will be RBS (responsible beverage service) Certified. One of the two founders of the club (Justin or Natalie Rainey) will also be present when the clubhouse is open to curate the proper environment.
Licensing and Partnerships:
Unit J Social Club is committed to operating responsibly and collaboratively within the local community. Additionally, we are exploring partnerships with neighboring businesses, including the Onyx Movie Theater, to offer members exclusive experiences and support local enterprises.
We also wish to partner with nearby restaurants to provide food for our members as we won’t be doing any food onsite.
Founders’ Story:
Unit J was founded by Justin and Natalie Rainey, second and fourth generation Nevada City residents. They were born and raised in Nevada City, attending all local schools and then working in many local businesses including the Nevada City Post Office, Friar Tucks, Earth Song, and the original South Yuba Club. Unit J Social Club is a testament to their vision for a gathering place that transcends traditional social norms. Their commitment to creating a space where friends and neighbors can come together has garnered overwhelming support from members, propelling the club toward its next chapter at the 124 Argall Way location.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: June 26, 2024 Agenda Item No. 08
Subject: Consideration of a Six-Month Update Report on Grant Funded Surveillance Cameras.
From: Dan Foss, Police Chief
Date: June 20, 2024
Reviewed & Approved:
City Manager: STG
City Attorney:
Recommended Action: Receive and file the report and provide any direction on the topic.
ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:
On September 27, 2023, the City Council approved the award of contract for the purchase and installation of six (6) security cameras. The funds for the purchase, installation, and software for the cameras were all made available through the Proposition 64 Cohort 2 grant. Flock Safety camera system was the selected vendor. At the meeting the City Council requested that staff return with an update in six months on the use and effectiveness of the cameras.
The first several months after award were spent identifying and confirming the compatibility of several locations throughout town. On May 21, 2024, the first four cameras became operational. Soon after, the remaining two cameras came online. The location of the cameras are as follows:
• City Hall
• The intersection of Sacramento Street and Prospect Street • Commercial Street (mounted above the Chamber of Commerce) • The Commercial Street parking lot
• Pioneer Park viewing the tennis courts
• Pioneer Park viewing the bandstand area
In less than 30 days of activation, the cameras have been utilized in at least ten (10) incidents for crime prevention or assistance in solving criminal cases. Some notable mentions of when the cameras have been instrumental in solving the case are the vandalism of several flags, a hit-and-run traffic collision in the downtown area, and vandalism of the bathroom at Pioneer Park.
The cameras provide a live feed to any officer monitoring them and record in a 30-day loop. All cameras have 360-degree pan/tilt and zoom features and day and night capability. The Nevada City Police Department has extensively tested the cameras and evaluated the mounting locations. Thus far, we are delighted with the cameras' performance; however, we intend to relocate the camera at the Chamber of Commerce building to a location that is more aesthetically appropriate given the historic nature of the building. Staff will provide a presentation and demonstration of the cameras at the City Council meeting.

I respectfully request you give NO consideration to any kind of street closure for Friar Tucks.
If it were more of a community and other business request PERHAPS I would feel differently but this is another of their selfish, rude act to our town. They do nothing for our town except divide it. It also is poor, very poor timing to ask for this the day before Hot Summer nights in July which
IS A COMMUNITY EVENT, NOT JUST A ONE BUSINESS SELFISH NEED FOR ATTENTION.
Thank you for your consideration of a NO VOTE to this very undesirable request,

I am strongly opposed to permitting the street closures for Friar Tucks.
The proposed closures have negative impacts on the shops, parking and traffic flow during our busiest retail month. The traffic flow from Commercial Street weekend closure is already an obstacle course.
What Friar Tucks is proposing only benefits them and diminishes the enjoyment of town for the rest of us. Their parklet and delivery trucks already limit the flow of traffic. Please do not add to the chaos that has become the Pine Street and Commercial intersections.
