The board moved quickly through several formal votes after presentations and public comment. The board also directed staff to proceed with a scaled set of priority-objective projects for 2025–26 after choosing a recommended, balanced funding option.

Why it matters: The Miners Foundry transfer resolves near-term operational and financial uncertainty for a landmark cultural venue; the capital improvement plan sets the county’s road, bridge and transit work priorities and authorizes staff to continue projects now in design or construction; and the housing report summarizes permitting activity and next steps for workforce and affordable housing efforts.

Board action highlights and outcomes
- Miners Foundry MOU: The board approved a memorandum of understanding with the City of Nevada City that sets conditions for the city to take ownership and preserve the Miners Foundry facility. The vote was unanimous.
- Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) 2025 update: The board approved the Public Works CIP annual update and authorized the director to proceed with implementation. The plan funds bridge replacements, pavement and equipment programs and limited transit infrastructure; the board voted to adopt the plan.
- 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR): The board accepted the APR and directed staff to submit the report to the California Department of Housing and Community Development and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.
- Priority objectives resource allocation: After a detailed staff presentation and public comment, supervisors approved a staff-recommended, reduced funding package for the county’s eight board priority objectives (including public safety, housing, emergency preparedness, economic development and climate) that keeps a measured $1.0 million of general-fund support in the 2025–26 budget proposal and keeps other items available for grants or later action.
- Federal advocacy resolution: The board adopted a resolution urging timely federal action on services and programs that affect the county—ranging from wildfire fuels work and veterans’ services to protecting municipal bond tax exemption—by a 4–1 vote with one abstention.

What the votes mean now: With the MOU and CIP approved, Public Works and the City of Nevada City will move forward on design and contract implementation steps described in staff presentations. The housing APR acceptance enables the county to file the state report. The priority‑objectives budget decision sets staff direction while preserving flexibility to seek grants and to bring mid‑year adjustments to the board if additional funds become available.

Several speakers urged the county to adopt a formal non‑cooperation policy with federal immigration enforcement, to decline agreements under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, and to restrict county data-sharing and detention referrals related to immigration enforcement. A number of speakers also asked the board to craft and pass local ceasefire or arms‑embargo resolutions related to the conflict in Gaza.

Speakers and themes
- Zach (public commenter) called for a county policy to limit use of local resources for federal immigration enforcement and to protect residents from enforcement actions.
- Shirley Osgood, Don Fraser and others urged the board to pursue site‑level moral positions on the Gaza conflict and asked the county to pass a resolution calling for a ceasefire and an arms embargo.
- Public commenters cited concerns about civil‑rights impacts, the local climate of fear for some residents, and the county’s indirect connection to federal military and intelligence infrastructure.

Board response: Supervisors acknowledged the comments and said the topics are being tracked; no motion, discussion item or action on the specific requests was placed on the March 25 agenda. The board indicated some of the topics could return as future agenda items for consideration—typically after staff research and report-back—or be coordinated through intergovernmental channels.

Note: Public comments reflect individual speakers’ views. The Board did not adopt any of the requested policies or resolutions at this meeting.","Public commenters urged the Board of Supervisors to adopt local policies limiting county cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and to pass ceasefire and arms‑embargo resolutions related to Gaza.

The plan will prioritize stability for arts organizations, workforce development, venue sustainability and a regional marketing strategy.

The Arts Council said recent county-level economic analysis shows the arts generated roughly $66 million in local economic activity in 2023 and supported nearly 1,500 jobs. The presentation noted that COVID-era recovery funding has been spent and that audience behavior is still shifting, creating sustainability challenges for venues and organizations.

Key plan elements
- Community engagement: a countywide planning process with listening sessions in Truckee, Grass Valley, Nevada City and outlying communities; soliciting input from artists, businesses, funders and residents.
- Venue and workforce strategy: developing new approaches to keep local venues viable, identify arts career pathways and create affordable opportunities for artists.
- Regional marketing: producing a regional marketing plan that promotes sustainable cultural tourism while protecting local quality of life.

Next steps: The Arts Council will continue community listening sessions, distribute a public survey and convene partners to develop detailed actions and a funding strategy. The board received the presentation as information.","The Nevada County Arts Council and cultural district partners outlined Culture Forward, a five‑year arts and cultural action plan.

The Ready Nevada County campaign—framed as Ready, Set, Go—urges residents to prepare before fire season, maintain defensible space and harden homes, assemble 72‑hour go‑bags and register for local alerting systems. County staff reiterated that CodeRED is an opt‑in system that will call, text and email affected households, and they urged residents to register at the county portal.

New tool: ZoneHaven
County staff introduced ZoneHaven, a web tool residents can use to find their neighborhood evacuation zone by entering an address at community.zonehaven.com. Knowing the assigned zone helps residents interpret evacuation orders and advisories more quickly and reduces confusion during an emergency.

Practical advice and special needs: Presenters and public speakers stressed practical steps—marking evacuated homes with tags so deputies know which residences are empty, and planning for medically dependent household members who need power for devices such as CPAP machines or oxygen concentrators. The county’s 2‑1‑1 information line was highlighted as a 24/7 referral source during incidents.

What the board heard: Supervisors praised outreach efforts and asked staff to keep the public informed about measles, evacuation planning and funding for roadside vegetation treatment. County staff said they would continue community trainings and outreach events and urged residents to visit community.zonehaven.com and register for CodeRED.

The department said it has reworked its vision, mission and values to emphasize equity, trust and innovation as staff turnover since the pandemic left more than a third of positions new to the department. Director Kathy Cahill said the CHA identified top community needs including healthcare access, behavioral health, maternal and child health, and preparedness; the CHIP identifies coalitions focused on expanding access, improving early childhood services, and increasing childhood vaccination rates.

Public Health staff described youth‑focused programs (WIC, school prevention programs, mental‑health outreach), reported communicable‑disease surveillance figures for 2024, and discussed preparedness work with hospitals and regional partners.

What they told the board
- Communicable disease: staff reviewed 2024 case reports across conditions including TB, GI and STIs and stressed ongoing surveillance and partner coordination to detect and respond to outbreaks.
- Measles: staff said state cases exist but no local transmission had been identified at the time of the meeting; training sessions for providers and school nurses were planned.
- Emergency preparedness: Public Health’s Emergency Preparedness Program highlighted multi‑agency drills, cross‑state cooperation with Washoe County partners and a recent project to upgrade health radio infrastructure in Western County.

What happens next: Public Health will distribute the CHA/CHIP booklets to the board and community partners, continue provider/school trainings for vaccine awareness and surveillance, and work with the Office of Emergency Services and hospitals on preparedness drills.
