\"I was hoping to be able to watch the city council meeting. It's not operating on YouTube. It cut off right after Jim wanted to pull item 8,\" Coulter said during public comment and added, \"That was the end of the feed that has been back on. So once again, you're violating the restraining order.\" (The transcript records that phrase in his comment; the phrase appears to be part of his broader criticism about meeting procedures.)

Coulter also urged the city to consider a loud siren similar to systems used elsewhere to prompt residents to check emergency information on their phones during rapidly developing events. \"A loud siren from city center would be appropriate to alert people to at least look at their phones for information for approaching fires,\" he said, referencing prior local discussions about a warning siren.

Mayor Hodge acknowledged that the YouTube stream had cut off and said he would work to get the recording up after the meeting. The transcript does not show council action on either restoring the livestream or studying a citywide siren; both topics were raised as public comment items.","A public commenter reported the council’s YouTube livestream cut off during the meeting and urged the city to install a loud public warning siren to alert residents to fast-moving hazards; Mayor Hodge acknowledged the stream interruption and said he would work to restore the recording.",{"_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},6519821,"Council member asks Grass Valley to agendize broader discussion on waste and recycling options",134,1214000,1348000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5344636-d793748852d28215c91461ca1cfb740e&start=1214&end=1348","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5344636-d793748852d28215c91461ca1cfb740e/thumbnail_1214000.jpg","/articles/6519821/Grass-Valley/Nevada-County/California/Council-member-asks-Grass-Valley-to-agendize-broader-discussion-on-waste-and-recycling-options","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6519821-70ec80c1bd6d1b88156063197cc26a7c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163707&Signature=BsfIkc1hXaMcHOj2zJEUdpZJU09RS9wiMOzYthnuwyKcIbHknUpXJUPmPUJtIBADXOfkl2~~eNI~y3QIDt-0TbXNA7QvJlwJ0AdBdZfhXt8CT0D1p5-5R3l~rX4kgvPKtYflbkHcD-MLbmM9Pv2TgAG9xhjhbczi95kgokl-tdWG-1fGVB05xpPcIDRnxatXJjrXJdUgvzVE02MwKMZ01Ox2TCtgVCwMfxxCBTxzTejoFSfI0scSwT5i9KrC6xcg8UMqJDwVPQWO2gAch2Z-rQIq6lNR5sMIDc8Z7I6g0aNaCfc42nLTpfyiQZ0MGnoTwxVy2rOogDNM9CrPMfe8YA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council member Ivy asked the Grass Valley City Council to agendize a discussion on future waste and recycling options, saying state policy changes and evolving recycling requirements are making contracts and service delivery more complex.

\"Waste is starting to get pretty complicated,\" Council member Ivy said during brief reports, urging the council to schedule a fuller conversation soon. Ivy referenced upcoming state-level changes and the need to address plastic film and single-use plastics, saying the city should consider options that might require an upfront cost but would give the city more leverage in future contract negotiations with Waste Management and other vendors.

\"If we can give ourselves more options, it gives us the ability to bargain a lot more differently with Waste Management in the future,\" Ivy said. She asked that the council agendize \"a brief chat soon,\" leaving the timing to the council.

Mayor Hodge responded that he believed the item is \"on the horizon\" and that the public would be given an opportunity to weigh in at a regular meeting or noticed meeting. The transcript does not record a formal vote to place the item on a specific agenda date that night.","Council member Ivy asked the council to put a discussion about future waste and recycling options on an upcoming agenda, citing growing complexity from state rules (referenced as SB-style laws) and the need for more local tools when negotiating contracts with waste haulers.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6519826,"Downtown business owner asks Grass Valley to reconsider removing motorcycle parking on Main Street",51,848000,899000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5344636-d793748852d28215c91461ca1cfb740e&start=848&end=899","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5344636-d793748852d28215c91461ca1cfb740e/thumbnail_848000.jpg","/articles/6519826/Grass-Valley/Nevada-County/California/Downtown-business-owner-asks-Grass-Valley-to-reconsider-removing-motorcycle-parking-on-Main-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6519826-94c0a7aeddf0a21eb543a72f34270f0b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163707&Signature=cytwK56wBZIYXV4-kWV47yXSFyOQJm51BnO-LrMgfn5CF8Dv9avNxyF1BPF7uOagYh3q1dEGrDFf6hDZVJRa7bElj21PhnJu7vwK46JSGganv30PV4~LW3prbBJkw5cZMh~XEit~goFQSaUpmL-1tSVWRDhaB~hL2fpyMz1gI3XungXffnP0qA~KcY7BfDjrcnV~KgdbnxQg-ESCcSCnwx3sNi5fYr6kTTfS9CAfmkKOwTU9n07mxmT9wb4-PkAx8fH1f2ZhcdOy651uHWOdfs2q-sZ7tkLsuW1~6M-w13HACyTnwr7N3FdEd-i8ku7~akpKwkJ9IpHORC8U4-TEzg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mark Gold, owner of Gold Rush Cookie Company, told the Grass Valley City Council during public comment that the city should reconsider plans to remove the last motorcycle-specific parking spaces along the Main Street corridor.

\"I respectfully request that the city reconsider that,\" Gold said, adding that motorcycle ridership is up and that riders often stop downtown and patronize businesses on their way to area rides such as Highway 49 to Downieville. He said he had emailed the council with more detailed information but had not yet confirmed the parking changes with the city engineer.

Gold said dedicated motorcycle parking matters to local retailers and to motorcycle tourism. \"Eliminating those spots makes it much more difficult for them to come and park downtown,\" he said, and noted practical problems such as time-limited metered spaces that can be difficult for motorcycles to use.

The transcript does not include a city response or a confirmation from the city engineer about which spaces would be removed or when the change would take effect. No formal council action on motorcycle parking was recorded on the meeting agenda or in the consent items heard that night.","Mark Gold of Gold Rush Cookie Company urged the Grass Valley City Council during public comment to reverse a plan he said would remove the last motorcycle-specific parking along the Main Street corridor, saying motorcycle riders bring customers and tourism; city engineer confirmation of the change was not specified.","actionData","errors"]
