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, 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;

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.

PROCLAMATION

WHEREAS, Americans represent 4% of the world’s population, but generate more than 12% of the world’s refuse, discarding more than 30 million tons of plastic each year, but only recycling 6% of it; and WHEREAS, Microplastics, plastic particles less than 5mm across, end up in waterways and oceans where they are introduced to the food chain and can attract and retain toxic chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPAs) and pesticides that bio-accumulate in our food; and

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: July 10, 2024 Agenda Item No. 03
Subject: Monthly Statistical Crime Data June 2024
From: Dan Foss, Chief of Police
Date: July 3, 2024
Reviewed & Approved:

City Manager: STG
City Attorney:

Recommended Action: Receive and file.

ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:

The Nevada City Police Department's monthly statistical crime report for June 2024 is attached. For additional information, refer to the attached spreadsheet.

Becoming a police officer in California is a long and complicated process. The first step is to pass all acceptance exams into the police academy. This includes a written exam and a physical abilities test. Once passed, the academy starts. The academy is six months long, with an average of one test per month on the curriculum taught. You must pass every test, with one retest allowed per exam, or you will be expelled from the academy. If you pass the academy, you will either begin the job search or start training with your department. California requires a minimum of 16 additional weeks in which the new officer rides with a specialized Field Training Officer (FTO) who instructs and evaluates the recruit in police functions. Each day, the FTO completes a Daily Observation Report (DOR), which reviews the positives and negatives of the day. The patrol sergeant additionally reviews these, and a determination is made and continuously evaluated to determine if the new officer is a good fit for the organization. Once these qualifiers are met, the trainee becomes a new officer. This process takes a minimum of 10 months and is often longer.

Although there are several steps to becoming an officer, this is to ensure that each officer in the State of California is qualified and acceptable to carry the heavy responsibility we ask of each of our police officers.

Whenever you see two police officers in a Nevada City patrol vehicle, one of the officers is likely on training. Nevada City PD strives hard only to hire employees who meet and exceed all minimum standards and show the qualities and traits we are seeking to be a productive and positive member of our community.

Code Enforcement.

All members of the police department must pay special attention to the ever-changing laws. Laws can be made or changed legislatively or judicially through the court system. Recently, the US Supreme Court has changed how we approach illegal campsites removing some restrictions that had been placed on enforcement by an appellate court. This ruling has effects nationwide, especially on communities with fire risk, such as ours. Code Enforcement has been busy contacting the occupants of the illegal campsites and notifying them of the change in the law. No enforcement action has been taken yet as we wish to educate first, but the location and conditions are being documented, and enforcement action will be taken if needed.

Nevada City Police Department will always be available for comments and will notify the council of any concerns.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

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

FINANCIAL AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

None.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

None.

LEGAL REVIEW:

None.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Nevada County Transportation Commission
FROM: Michael Woodman, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Revised Findings of Apportionment for FY 2024/25, Resolution 24-13 DATE: May 15, 2024
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution 24-13 adopting the Revised Findings of Apportionment for FY 2024/25.

BACKGROUND: Prior to March 1 of each year, Nevada County Transportation Commission (NCTC), pursuant to California Code of Regulations Section 6644, transmits Findings of Apportionment for all prospective claimants.

The apportionments are determined from the Auditor-Controller's estimate of Local Transportation Funding (LTF) for the ensuing fiscal year, less those funds made available for Transportation Development Act administration, planning projects, pedestrian/bicycle projects, and community transit service projects. The remaining funds are apportioned by each jurisdiction’s percentage of the total population.

On March 20, 2024, NCTC approved Resolution 24-04 adopting the FY 2024/25 Preliminary Findings of Apportionment based on the Auditor-Controller’s estimate. On May 1, 2024, NCTC obtained California Department of Finance Population Estimates 2024 E-1 Report. In accordance with Section 6655.5 of the California Code of Regulations, the attached Resolution 24-13, Revised Findings of Apportionment for FY 2024/25, has been prepared to update the apportionments with the latest population data. The apportionment adjustments are as follows:

SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2023-24 Local Transportation Fund Claim Dear Mr. Grayson,
The Nevada County Board of Supervisors will hold its Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget public hearings and approval in June and these will include the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Transit Services Division Budget.

Nevada County is processing a claim with the Nevada County Transportation Commission (NCTC) for Local Transportation Funds (LTF), pursuant to the Transportation Development Act. In accordance with the Joint Powers Agreement for Transit Services in Western Nevada County, we are requesting that the City of Nevada City prepare and submit a claim to NCTC for LTF funds to support Nevada County Connects and Nevada County Now contracted paratransit operations during Fiscal Year 2023-24.

NCTC has adopted revised findings of apportionment at their May 17, 2023, meeting indicating that the City of Nevada City’s apportionment for Fiscal Year 2023-24 LTF funds is $125,760. A copy of the revised NCTC findings of apportionment is attached. Since the Transit Services’ Division budget is predicated on the use of 100 percent of the available LTF funds from all three local jurisdictions, we are respectfully asking that Nevada City prepare its claim in the amount of $125,760. As with last year’s claim, the LTF funding may be shown in a lump sum entitled “transit/paratransit operations” (P.U.C.

Sec. 99400(c).

We are hoping to have the claims approved at the July 19, 2023, NCTC meeting and I would greatly appreciate your placing this claim item on a City Council agenda at your earliest convenience in June 2023, for resolution approval.

Thank you for your continued support of Transit Services in western Nevada County. It is greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions, please contact me at 470-2833.

Sincerely,
Robin Van Valkenburgh
Transit Services Division Manager

By offering a platform for local vendors, artisans, and entertainers, we aim to attract both residents and visitors, enhancing the cultural fabric of our town.” The full description is in the attached application. The proposed event hours are 10am to 8pm with set-up beginning at 8am and breakdown completed at 8pm. There are no street closures for the event as it takes place entirely on the private property of the applicant. The site map demonstrates the use of some parking for vendor booths with the remainder of the event activities on the property or in the buildings.

1 OVERVIEW
Thank you for choosing the City of Nevada City as the location for your event. Special events such as fairs, carnivals, rallies/races, festivals, public dances, shows, concerts are an important role in the life of a healthy and vibrant community. However, such events may have a negative effect on surrounding residents and businesses if they are not planned appropriately. The purpose of the special event permitting process is to ensure that there are adequate measures for security, traffic control, crowd control, parking and other health and safety impacts related to a special event. “Special Event” means, for the purposes of this requirement, any activity on public or private property that, due to the anticipated amount of attendees or the nature of the event, is not compatible with the generally intended use of the property for which it is proposed and is characterized by any of the following:

1. Requires city services to ensure compliance with state or local laws; for example, temporary licenses issued by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, or temporary structure permits;

2. Involves use of city owned or managed property such as public streets, sidewalks, alley, parking lots, plazas or other city owned or managed open spaces;

3. Involves closure, or partial closure, of any public right-of-way, or requires traffic control procedures necessitating the involvement of police or street maintenance personnel;

4. Impairs emergency vehicle access;

5. Requires extraordinary police services in order to protect public safety, health, and/or welfare;

6. Results in impacts to adjacent public or private property because of, for example, the use of live or amplified entertainment or the anticipated impacts on parking.

Exclusions. The following activities shall not be considered a "special event" within the meaning of this chapter and therefore they do not require a special event permit:

A. An event sponsored by the city.

B. An event held at a city facility pursuant to a facility rental agreement and it is reasonably foreseeable in the opinion of the chief of police that no extraordinary police services are required;
C. An event held in a private residence where no admission is charged, the event is not open or advertised to the public, and it is reasonably foreseeable in the opinion of the chief of police that no extraordinary police services are required;
D. An event held in a members-only facility at which the only participants are the members (and their invited nonpaying guests) and it is reasonably foreseeable in the opinion of the chief of police that no extraordinary police services are required;

CITY OF NEVADA CITY

SPECIAL EVENT GUIDELINES
2 E. Events sponsored by religious entities held in the religious entity's facility that only members by permission attend and it is reasonably foreseeable in the opinion of the chief of police that no extraordinary police services are required;
F. Events that are authorized by and consistent with existing use permits and licenses governing the establishment, unless that person, entity, or business holds an event that, in the opinion of the chief of police, will foreseeably result in impacts on public safety, health, welfare, and police resources; and
G. Any entertainment for which other special permits have been obtained, such as, but not limited to, parade permits, dance permits, use permits, and short-term encroachment permits and it is reasonably foreseeable that no extraordinary police services will be required.

The City requires the submittal of a Special Event Application as a pre-condition of considering whether to enter into an agreement to grant a permit for the event or to allow temporary use of all or any portion of a public street, sidewalk, alley, parking lot, plaza or other city owned or managed open space.

Application materials must be completed in full and submitted to the City at least 90 days prior to your event date, and no more than one year in advance of the event date. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. A non-refundable application fee must be paid upon submission of your completed application.

Incomplete applications will not be accepted and will delay processing which could affect the availability of your preferred event date or location. Please note the information you provide becomes public information.

City staff will review the Application/Contract. Notes from Police, Fire, Public Works and Parks & Recreation will be presented to City Council for consideration. City Council approves or disapproves your Application/Contract at a formal noticed public meeting. Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend the designated City Council meeting in order to discuss their proposed event and answer related questions. Please ensure you have City Council approval before marketing or advertising your event.

EVENT REQUIREMENTS
Alcohol. If alcohol is sold at your event, an Alcohol Permit from California Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) is required. Please contact ABC at (916) 419-1319.

Amplified Sound. If the event will have amplified sound, applicant is required to have an event staff member responsible for monitoring sound levels to assure compliance with City noise standards when sound/music/noise may be audible beyond the event venue.

CITY OF NEVADA CITY

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: July 11, 2024 Agenda Item No. 07
Subject: Consideration of Adoption of Resolution No. 2024- 29: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Nevada City Declaring a Stage 3 Water Shortage Warning and Implementing Actions Set Forth in the Nevada City Drought Action Plan: A Water Shortage Contingency Strategy for the City of Nevada City.

From: Sean Grayson, City Manager
Michael Faudoa, Chief Plant Operator
Date: July 1, 2024
Reviewed & Approved:

City Manager:

City Attorney:

Recommended Action: Adopt the resolution.

ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION:

On March 27, 2024, the Nevada Irrigation District (NID) adopted their Resolution 2024-10 “Declaring A Water Shortage Emergency, Authorizing Extraordinary Water Conservation Rules and Regulations, and Authorizing Emergency Activities and Projects as Related to Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E’s) Unplanned Outages on the South Yuba Canal and Spaulding”. On April 10, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution 2024-12 “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Nevada City, State of California, Declaring a Stage 2 Water Shortage Alert and Implementing Actions Set Forth in the Nevada City Drought Action Plan” matching the actions of NID.

PG&E has missed a rolling set of deadlines for temporary repairs and permanent repairs are not anticipated until late August of 2024. On June 26, 2024, NID adopted their Resolution 2024-26 Imposing Mandatory Water Conservation Measures Given Ongoing Emergency Water Shortage Conditions.

All water users in Nevada City are potentially impacted by the PG&E issues and the NID resolution. The majority of the city is served by city water services while NID serves all other customers not served by the City. The City also utilizes NID as a contingency water supplier during drought and high heat summer months.

The Nevada City Drought Action Plan describes this scenario as a “Non-Drought Related Emergency Water Shortage” but the process remains the same as if it were drought caused. The mandatory nature of NIDs resolution indicates that under the Nevada City Drought Action Plan a Stage 3 Water Shortage Warning and mandatory implementation of stage 3 requirements by the City is appropriate. The attached resolution declares that change to Stage 3. The requested actions are outlined in the resolution and are the same as the non-mandatory actions that were requested in the Stage 2 water shortage alert.

Staff will work with businesses and residents to share the information and mandatory water reduction practices upon adoption of the resolution.

FINANCIAL AND/OR POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

None.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

This action is aligned with the strategic initiative of WATER: Maintenance of cost efficient, reliable, resilient, and sustainable drinking and irrigation water sources and wastewater treatment capabilities. 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.

A Water Shortage Contingency Strategy
This document presents the Drought Action Plan (“Drought Plan”), also known as the Water Shortage Contingency Plan, for the City of Nevada City, California. This plan identifies actions and procedures to enable the City government to prepare for, identify, and respond to a drought or other water shortage. The objective of the plan is to help Nevada City preserve essential public services and minimize the effects of a water shortage on public health and safety, economic activities, environmental resources, and the individual lifestyles of its community members.

1. HOW TO USE THIS PLAN
This Water Shortage Contingency Plan has been formatted as an implementation action plan for the City in time of drought or water shortage of any kind. The plan itself describes five stages of water shortage, with each additional stage representing a progressively worsening and critical situation.

The document further describes circumstances that would trigger use of the plan, specific actions for City staff to take during each of the stages, as well as specific actions for water customers to take.

The appendices provide background and other pertinent and useful information:

Appendix A - Water Shortage Planning Overview and Plan Updates and Revisions: This section describes the need for and objectives of the plan, resources used in the preparation of the plan, and a guide for updating the plan.

Appendix B - Precipitation Patterns, Drought History, and Climate Change: Appendix B provides the history of precipitation and drought in the Nevada City area and briefly discusses the potential impacts of climate change on Nevada City’s precipitation patterns.

Appendix C - Nevada City Water Supply and Demand: This appendix describes the water supply system infrastructure in Nevada City, current and predicted sources of water into the future, and predicted growth patterns and how those patterns might influence water supply and demand.

Appendix D - Water Shortage Impact Avoidance: Appendix D identifies water conservation measures that Nevada City has already taken to help avoid water shortages and reduce the impact of shortages when they do occur, as well as future impact avoidance measures the City has committed, or may commit, to taking.

Appendix E – References: The References are both source material for this Plan and reference material for further research on the part of the City or its constituents.

Nevada City Water Shortage Contingency: Drought Action Plan 4

2. WATER SHORTAGE STAGES
Drought-Related Water Shortages
Prior to the beginning of the irrigation season, but no later than April 1 of each year, Nevada City will evaluate its current reservoir storage, forecasted runoff/snowmelt, and purchase options from Nevada Irrigation District (NID) to determine which water supply stage will apply during the year.

The survey information from California Department of Water Resource’s California Cooperative Snow Surveys will be paramount to evaluating water supply stage and will be used to make a preliminary determination of the City’s water supplies.

Other (Non-Drought-Related) Emergency Water Shortages
For an infrastructure-related failure, water delivery options will be immediately evaluated and a staff recommendation made to the City Council.

Normal Water Years
The City currently supplies about 900 acre feet (AF) of water per year for all classes of customers, with 600 AF coming from Little Deer Creek (water allocations to Nevada City are 50 AF/month) and the needed balance coming from NID, In the past, this has typically been in months of dry weather and high usage, generally from around June to September.

There is no carry-over storage from water season to water season, with the exception of the 53-AF City reservoir storage, an amount of storage that typically comprises less than a month of the City’s water needs.

The City has pre-1914 water rights on Little Deer Creek and does not have any in-stream flow requirements of which the City is aware. See Appendix C for more information on water supply and demand.

Water Shortage Stages
There is no statewide standard for water shortage stages; purveyors determine stages appropriate for their particular circumstances. The following drought stages and water supply conditions were identified for Nevada City based on review of guiding public documents, discussion with City staff, use of samples of other small communities’ drought plans and NID’s drought stages.

Consistency with NID’s water shortage stages is important, given that NID provides water during the dry season when shortages are more likely to occur. However, it should be noted that as a water purveyor, Nevada City may call a drought stage independently of NID, and the State may impose voluntary or mandatory restrictions as well. If and when the State imposes restrictions, they may or may not coincide with NID’s and Nevada City’s stages and customer action type, i.e., voluntary or mandatory.

Nevada City Water Shortage Contingency: Drought Action Plan 6

3. WATER SHORTAGE DECLARATION TRIGGERS
As noted above, in normal years, Nevada City receives the majority of its water from Little Deer Creek and supplements this with water from NID in months of high usage. If NID declares a drought stage during this time, Nevada City and its customers will also be affected, with the same (or greater) conservation measures required. However, because Nevada City is itself a water purveyor, Nevada City may declare a drought stage independently of NID. Further, the State may declare a water shortage at any time, which will also affect Nevada City and its customers.

The following table identifies the thresholds, or “triggers,” for declaring a Water Shortage. The description section includes a general characterization of the amount of reduction for Stages 2 through 5 (i.e., minimally, moderately, severely and critically), and whether supplies are meeting or expected to meet demands. These descriptions can be useful when communicating with customers and the public.

Table 2. Water Shortage Declaration Triggers
NOTE: The State Water Resources Control Board may at any time declare a water shortage emergency that affects all Californians. The declaration, generally in the form of emergency regulations, will describe specific measures called for by customers and water purveyors, as well as whether measures are voluntary or mandatory.

4. CITY IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS BY WATER SHORTAGE STAGE
The following describes recommended actions to be taken by City staff at each progressive stage of water shortage. Measures not described below may be necessary in certain situations, and it will be incumbent on the experience and discretion of City staff to take actions necessary to protect public health and safety, environmental health, and economic resources – including seeking guidance or approval from the City Council if needed.

In general, each additional stage is likely to require additional staff time and other City resources (e.g., engineering, billing, mailings, response to public questions and concerns, internal communications, and external communications with the media and others).

Please refer to Appendix D for measures the City has implemented or will consider implementing as part of its proactive water shortage impact avoidance strategies.

Water Shortage Response Team
The City Council established a Nevada City Water Shortage Response Team to coordinate responses to drought conditions and other water shortages (see Appendix A for more on roles and responsibilities). The team make-up is as follows, with City Manager as Team Leader:

1. City Manager: Team Leader

2. Director of Public Works

3. City Engineer

4. Water Treatment Plan Operator

5. Finance Director/Human Resources & Risk Manager

6. Administrative Senior Clerk/Deputy City Clerk

7. City Attorney

5. Customer Actions by Water Shortage Stage
The following describes recommended restrictions and other actions to be taken by Nevada City water customers at each progressive stage of water shortage. As a water purveyor, it is incumbent upon the City to notify customers of water shortage conditions, conservation measures, and whether the measures are voluntary or mandatory (mandatory actions begin in Stage 3).

If and when the State issues emergency regulations pertaining to water conservation, they pertain to all of the citizens, businesses and agencies of California. The restrictions and other actions called for in the State’s emergency regulations take priority, and may or may not be consistent with local drought plans.

Stage 1: Normal Water Conditions (0-5% shortage) Customer Actions VOLUNTARY:

A. Make conscious efforts to conserve water. Water is to be used for beneficial purposes only; all unnecessary and wasteful uses of water are prohibited.

B. Water is to be confined to the customer’s property and not allowed to run off to adjoining properties, sidewalks, ditches, gutters or storm drains.

C. Residential, garden, and landscape water use:
i. Limit watering to the evening and early morning hours only (9 pm to 9 am); avoid use of sprinklers.
ii. Do not water past the point of saturation.

Nevada City Water Shortage Contingency: Drought Action Plan 13

6. Outreach: Public Information and Education
The success of any water conservation effort is dependent upon successfully influencing customers to change their water use behaviors. There is no shortage of water conservation information available; rather surveys show that some customers feel overwhelmed by the amount of information and choices and, as a result, do nothing.

The most effective efforts to change customer behavior draw on the social sciences to develop more sophisticated and effective strategies and materials. In the Spring/Summer 2015 timeframe, City staff will work to develop such an approach for the City to use for various drought stages and for longer-term conservation. (In the same time frame the following drought-related topics will be under consideration and brought forward to the City Council by staff: conservation pricing; conservation incentives; enforcement structures.) The Drought Plan may be amended to include these topics and materials.

Public Notification of Water Shortage and Required or Requested Customer Actions At a minimum, when a Drought Stage is announced, a press release should be prepared, approved by the City Manager, and distributed to local media (see below for media contact list), and water shortage notice and conservation instructions should be provided in water customer bills (see below for sample bill insert announcing state-mandated conservation actions), making clear which actions are voluntary (if any), and which are mandatory.

It is important to provide clear and targeted messages with specific guidance on what actions are requested or mandated. “Government language” can be perceived by the public as stilted and confusing; the most effective messages will use simple messages, short sentences, and provide no more than one to three recommendations (unless mandated actions call for more). As much as possible information and education materials should be targeted to specific audiences, e.g., residential water customers, businesses.

The State Department of Water Resources has partnered with the Association of California Water Agencies to create SaveOurWater.org, a non-profit entity set up to provide effective information and educational materials and opportunities developed by communications professionals, and will be a valuable resource for City staff tasked with communicating with customers. That and select other websites appear below.

STATE-MANDATED CUT BACK OF OUTDOOR WATER USE
Beginning immediately, the following are
PROHIBITED:

1. Irrigating outdoors more than two days per week is prohibited.

2. Run-off in outdoor landscapes: Using potable water to water outdoor landscapes in a manner that causes runoff such that water flows onto adjacent property, non-irrigated areas, private and public walkways, roadways, parking lots, or structures is prohibited.

3. Washing vehicles without a shut-off nozzle: Using a hose that dispenses potable water to wash a motor vehicle, unless the hose is fitted with a shut-off nozzle, is prohibited.

4. Hosing down sidewalks and driveways: The application of potable water to any driveway or sidewalk is prohibited.

5. Running fountains that do not re-circulate water: Using potable water in a fountain or decorative water feature, unless the water is re-circulated, is prohibited.

Prohibitions apply except where necessary to address an immediate health and safety need or to comply with a term or condition in a permit issued by a state or federal agency.

Dear Nevada City Water Customer: June xx, 2015
California is in extreme drought. Many are already taking bold steps to conserve water, and if you’re among them, we thank you. In April the state announced mandatory 25% water conservation targets. To ensure that water demands can be met statewide, the State Water Resources Control Board on May XX took emergency action requiring that water suppliers and all citizens step up conservation efforts.

The fastest way to achieve significant savings without undue burden on customers is by reducing outdoor water use, and that is the focus of these mandatory prohibitions.

The State authorized a variety of measures to get customers to meet goals, including fines (as much as $500 per day), raised rates, shut-offs and other similar measures, as well as establishing the possibility of non-compliance fines for the City of up to $10,000 per day. In response, the City of Nevada City on April XX passed a resolution officially putting the City under drought conditions and prohibiting the above uses of potable water.

The City prefers not to use harsh measures to get customers to conserve more. If we all pull together to achieve this 20 percent reduction, stricter, more burdensome and costly measures may not be required. Please be a waterwise neighbor and, if you’re not already, at minimum, reduce your outside water use by honoring these mandatory prohibitions. ~ Thank you!
The drought is on!

Nevada City Water Shortage Contingency: Drought Action Plan 16

7. Crisis Communication Plan (Drought Stage 5)
This Crisis Communication Plan is to be implemented during a Stage 5 drought or other water shortage crisis, such as an infrastructure failure. The Plan consists of scripted messages to be developed based on the circumstances and needs of the situation, and an emergency notification list.

For water shortage disasters, the Nevada City Disaster Plan, revised January 1, 2011 or later, shall be used to guide relief operations. This Crisis Communication Plan is intended to augment, not replace the Disaster Plan, and provides guidance only for the public and internal communication component of emergency operations.

Scripted Messages
When an emergency occurs, the need to communicate is immediate. If business operations are disrupted or water delivery is diminished or threatened, customers will want to know how they will be impacted. Regulators may need to be notified, and other local governments will want to know what is going on in the community. Employees and their families may be concerned and want information.

Each audience will seek—and should be provided with-- information that is specific to them (e.g., residential customers, businesses, regulators, media). Table F-1 below can be used by staff to help develop that targeted information, and must be approved by the City Manager (or his or her designee) prior to use.

Staff should recognize that in a crisis situation there may be limited information about the incident or its potential impacts, and that the “story” may change many times as new information becomes available. It will be important to release information in an organized and coordinated fashion, with one person or department (generally the City Manager or his or her designee) serving as the contact with media.

One of the aims of the crisis communication plan is to ensure consistency of message. If one audience is presented with a particular message and another audience is presented with a different message, it will increase confusion and shake confidence by raising questions of competency and credibility. Internal protocols need to be established to ensure that the core of each message is consistent while addressing the specific questions from each audience.

It will be important to move as quickly as possible from simply reacting to the incident, to proactively developing and managing a strategy to overcome the incident. Management needs to develop the strategy, with both management and staff implementing the strategy. Allaying the concerns of each target audience will help ensure that customers receive the highest possible level of service within the emergency context, and will help position the City to emerge from the incident with its reputation intact.

Table F-1 below provides examples of questions that may arise from various target audiences to help staff develop scripted messages appropriate for the circumstances and conditions of a Stage 5 Nevada City Water Shortage Contingency: Drought Action Plan 17 drought or other water shortage crisis. These messages should be stored on a remotely accessible server for quick editing and release when needed, and hard copies should also be available.

Table F-1 is to be completed and distributed to all employees during Drought Stage 5 conditions. It should include instructions for directing all media inquiries to the City Manager (or his or her designee), and updated regularly as the situation changes.

Emergency Notification List
The entities that must be contacted will likely depend on the circumstances of the crisis. The Emergency Notification List includes an array of agencies and other contacts that are likely to be needed and it should be completed with names, phone numbers and email addresses by April 1 of each year (or before the irrigation season begins, whichever comes first) – do not wait for a crisis to occur and then try to locate the information. When considering additional entities to contact, consider all regulatory agencies that may be pertinent, as well as all interests and entities that may be affected by the crisis.

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-10

OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NEVADA IRRIGATION DISTRICT

DECLARING A WATER SHORTAGE EMERGENCY, AUTHORIZING

EXTRAORDINARY WATER CONSERVATION RULES AND REGULATIONS, AND

AUTHORIZING EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTS
WHEREAS, the Nevada Irrigation District (District) is a California Irrigation District formed and existing pursuant to Division 11 of the California Water Code and is empowered to provide water for residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, environmental, fire protection and prevention and other beneficial uses of water; and WHEREAS, the South Yuba Canal, and Drum Canal are owned and operated by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), but are operated in coordination with District’s water storage and distribution facilities and are integral components of the District’s water system, including being the primary conduits for conveying water to District water users located in Nevada and Placer Counties; and
WHEREAS, on or about February 9, 2024 a portion of the South Yuba Canal suffered a complete collapse rendering the South Yuba Canal inoperable; and WHEREAS, on March 6, 2024, PG&E’s Spaulding 1 powerhouse suffered an unscheduled outage/failure rendering the Drum Canal inoperable; and WHEREAS, the Drum and South Yuba Canals serve as the water conveyance facilities that provide water to thousands of customers of the District serving numerous necessary and beneficial uses of water; and
WHEREAS, demand for water from District facilities occurs year round; however, those demands will begin to increase significantly with warming temperatures in spring and summer and with the onset of the District’s irrigation season on April 15, 2024; and WHEREAS, the Drum and South Yuba Canal failures will force the District to rely on limited water storage to supply customer demands in the spring and summer months; and
WHEREAS, PG&E currently forecasts repair of the Canals by June 8, 2024; and WHEREAS, if the Drum and South Yuba Canal are not repaired by the June 8, 2024 target date, the District’s limited water storage supplies may be exhausted and may not be able to fully serve the water needs and demands of irrigation water users; and WHEREAS, in light of emergency conditions, and in accordance with California Water Code Sections 350 et seq. and 375 et seq., the Board of Directors of Nevada Irrigation District finds that the public interest demands that it declare a water shortage 3 Resolution No. 2024-10 - Declaring a Water Shortage Emergency, Authorizing Extraordinary Water Conservation Rules and Regulations, and Authorizing Emergency Response Activities and Projects

Page 2 ends

emergency condition prevailing within the area served by the District with supplies derived from the Drum and South Yuba Canals because the Board finds and determines that the ordinary demands and requirements of water consumers served cannot be satisfied without depleting the water supply to a level where there is insufficient water for all necessary and beneficial uses, including human consumption, sanitation, fire protection, municipal and agricultural; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Water Code section 351, the failure or breakage of the Drum and South Yuba Canals have caused an immediate emergency; therefore, the declaration of water supply emergency may be made by the Board of Directors of the District without holding a public hearing and without advance publication of notice of hearing; and
WHEREAS, when the Board of Directors of the District has so determined and declared the existence of an emergency condition of water shortage within its service area, it shall thereupon adopt such reasonable regulations and restrictions on the delivery of water and the consumption within said area of water supplied for public use as will in the sound discretion of the Board of Directors to conserve the water supply for the greatest public benefit with particular regard to domestic use, sanitation, and fire protection; and
WHEREAS, the regulations and restrictions may include the right to deny applications for new or additional service connections, enforcement of rotations and rationing of water for irrigation use, implementation of water conservation measures, and provision for their enforcement by reducing or discontinuing service to customers willfully or repeatedly violating the regulations and restrictions; and WHEREAS, projects, including the actions to be undertaken pursuant to this Resolution, to mitigate or to address an emergency are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NEVADA IRRIGATION DISTRICT AS FOLLOWS:

1. The above recitals are true and correct and hereby declared to be findings of the Nevada Irrigation District.

2. The Board finds and determines that the failure of Drum and South Yuba Canals have created an emergency where the ordinary demands and use of water by District customers cannot be satisfied without depleting the District’s water supply.

Given the emergency, and in the absence of emergency response, there would be insufficient water for all beneficial uses of water delivered and used by the District, including human consumption, sanitation, residential, fire protection and prevention, and agricultural uses within the area served by the supplies from the Drum and South Yuba Canals.
