Council approves long‑term lease extensions for lineman training campus
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 9426 to extend multiple land leases that secure the Northwest Lineman College campus and its long‑term presence; speakers credited the program with local economic benefits tied to hundreds of students and associated spending.
The Oroville City Council unanimously approved a resolution extending lease terms for several parcels used by the Northwest Lineman College (NLC), a training campus the council said has been an important local partner.
Speakers noted NLC’s large classes — one recent cohort had about 277 students — and praised the college’s workforce training, community involvement and economic impacts from student spending and temporary housing demand. A public speaker who helped arrange the campus told council members he negotiated earlier leases, recalled the campus opening and said recent work kept the college in Oroville amid a change in ownership.
Council approved Resolution 9426 to extend land leases across the named parcels; staff and council framed the action as supporting long‑term stability, workforce training, local business engagement and predictable revenue for the city. No legal conditions or amendments were proposed during the vote; councilmembers expressed optimism the lease extensions will retain NLC’s operations in Oroville for decades.
