Other callers raised local concerns about air quality from development, nuisance and public-safety issues, and county planning processes.

Shirley Osgoode (District 3) urged the board to \"speak out\" against the ongoing violence in Gaza and said tax dollars are implicated. She told the board, \"I would love to hear you guys speak out against it.\" Don Fraser of Nevada City backed that call and asked the supervisors to \"Pass a resolution condemning it, write a letter to our congress people.\" Jeffrey Gottesman of Jewish Voice for Peace delivered a longer statement urging the county to \"take a stand\" and referenced U.S. weapons assistance; he said he had material to hand out to the board.

On local issues, a caller identified as Matthew Colter raised air- and water-quality concerns and said developers and out-of-town contractors had contributed to dust and emissions problems. He said prior work with RISE Gold had been addressed but urged stronger county action: \"When you guys aren't doing anything about these issues, you choose not to.\" Another speaker, Michael, criticized planning and permitting practices and urged the county to direct the planning commission and staff to favor housing production.

Board members did not take action on the foreign-policy requests during the meeting; the record shows the public comment period closed after the speakers finished and that no resolutions or letters were adopted at this session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Nevada County Board of Supervisors Meeting July 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Multiple members of the public used the general comment period to urge the board to condemn the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and to ask the county to write to congressional representatives; separate callers urged county action on air-quality problems tied to development and criticized planning and permitting as inhibiting housing production.","taxTitle","Nevada County, California","taxId",20103,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6520470,"Nevada County board approves consent calendar; items 2 and 23 pulled, Hardy recuses from item 20",181,384000,565000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5330723-18a9aa97389687ce25462209195816c1&start=384&end=565","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5330723-18a9aa97389687ce25462209195816c1/thumbnail_384000.jpg","/articles/6520470/Nevada-County/California/Nevada-County-board-approves-consent-calendar-items-2-and-23-pulled-Hardy-recuses-from-item-20","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6520470-aaf9212ad7dc20605d05495e6ece9171/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148373&Signature=cQVa8oJB4c8T9hntJGtwvEGz~I3pugyv8ttOxppklA1F6uCOC3tZeglFY2psXiJDXeaE9jfm6gTNHdCUNUCNGu5KLnGe~QVBniqXsuG919NHOcT0ZEsBaKRMz0qPTt5ksynUhfPholRK~c8wDTod4eF3xAFXUkz2C6qEQrQ7Sf2hDY95O8NQ7myG6Cnhwwqc~IwTpTWafm0q3fd61AX-AqDq8B8V~OAVxta1y8NGn6m7HN7bxRdk01BKd8PksjQOEcvdtYswyVPfZZh3eXJuy60-twpVVNaKOwQY40Sf978SWOoB5MgfTbDvFQeU70mxs2aetZJ7hfoZYMXX0hFqTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nevada County Board of Supervisors on July 8 approved the consent calendar, consisting of items 1 through 34, with two items pulled and one recusal recorded.

The clerk announced that agenda items number 2 (SR25-1756) and number 23 (SR25-1750) were pulled from the consent calendar and moved to the July 22 meeting. During the consent discussion Supervisor Hardy announced a recusal on item 20: \"Item 20, I recuse myself. I own property leased to Bright Futures for Youth.\" The chair then opened public comment on the consent calendar; none were received in the chambers or by phone.

A motion to adopt the consent calendar (minus items 2 and 23, and with Hardy recused from item 20) was made and seconded. The clerk called the roll; each district vote was recorded as \"yes\" and the consent calendar was adopted.

The transcript does not provide further detail in the meeting record on the contents of individual consent items beyond those procedural changes (pulled items and recusal).","The Board of Supervisors approved the consent calendar (items 1'34), with items 2 and 23 removed for later consideration and Supervisor Hardy recused from item 20 because of a property lease to Bright Futures for Youth.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6520473,"Nevada County board waives first reading of ordinance adopting local responsibility area fire hazard severity zones",333,1346000,1679000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5330723-18a9aa97389687ce25462209195816c1&start=1346&end=1679","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5330723-18a9aa97389687ce25462209195816c1/thumbnail_1346000.jpg","/articles/6520473/Nevada-County/California/Nevada-County-board-waives-first-reading-of-ordinance-adopting-local-responsibility-area-fire-hazard-severity-zones","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6520473-8a68c7e83a2babd49269ec449d5f751e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148373&Signature=lJT64eqtj8hS~rzsznbIo1rno8hWwWop-GhVpZbmc8WcfydEzSKt66JjFi3BzCrlhEVNZa6KKAUZAtifJotFBG0LqTXBpmN9i9E8sTKgts7buRMGXeT5stXYoPkftRCDmrqRYLJgEEwqG9r0SIsNaZ~pojuvT~H3XOnruaYlraAZ3h~BqG7STNXo12D-fKFVzVFIli5I3NuPiIWHLYXITbBTc2YTlWslwD-llf0ocdRXPb3PTh3ThGoDPxiNIXfLJNVPkR6RPRID0P~PZjoqR2j3HJ3y91wOex5uUgDlrDJKGurTCgR7FjfzbpDb1AL2HQaG06jAcVreOsGEGZ86PA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nevada County Board of Supervisors on July 8 voted to introduce and waive further reading on an ordinance adopting 2025 fire hazard severity zone maps for the county's local responsibility area.

Office of Emergency Services Director Alex Huebel Tull told the board the maps show probability of an area burning and that when lands are classified as local responsibility area (LRA), local governments, not the state, are responsible for fire protection there. He said the Office of the State Fire Marshal issues maps for LRA lands and that local agencies must designate zones by ordinance. \"For Nevada County fire hazard severity zones in the local responsibility area, we have 6 parcels totaling 43 acres,\" Huebel Tull said, adding staff worked with CAL FIRE to identify those parcels.

Adoption of the maps will allow the county to apply to be included on the state board of forestry and fire protection's list of fire risk reduction communities, Huebel Tull said. Inclusion on that list \"means that we meet best practices for local fire planning, which increases access to grant funds and is a mandatory factor that insurers must consider,\" he said. He also clarified the maps themselves are not used for insurance decisions and referred residents to insurance.california.gov for more information.

A member of the public raised a separate concern during public comment about the county's Community Development Agency drone program and potential property surveillance; the speaker asked the board to ensure any drone use does not become a mechanism for monitoring defensible-space compliance.

Supervisor Hardy moved to introduce and waive further reading on the ordinance; the motion passed on a roll call vote with the clerk reporting \"yes\" from each district. The board record shows all five district votes in favor.

The ordinance was introduced and the reading waived; the transcript indicates the matter will return under the county's ordinance process (no further effective dates or second-reading timing was specified in the meeting record).

","The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to introduce and waive further reading on an ordinance that adopts fire hazard severity zone maps for the county's local responsibility area (LRA), a step county staff said will improve access to state grants and recognition on state fire-risk lists.","actionData","errors"]
