Council reports: $500,000 trail planning grant application, COAD planning, and community events
Summary
Councilmembers reported outreach on a proposed Morgan Ranch park, applied for a $500,000 planning grant to expand the Litton Trail, and discussed forming a COAD coordinator role with the Community Foundation to help long-term disaster recovery coordination.
During brief reports, councilmembers highlighted transportation and parks work, grant activity, and community planning.
One councilmember said the City applied for a $500,000 planning grant from the California Air Resources Board to expand the Litton Trail network and described ongoing coordination with Caltrans to secure trail routing through a Wolf Creek segment.
Councilmembers reported successful door-to-door outreach at the Morgan Ranch site where most homeowners indicated they would welcome park amenities; the skate-park ad hoc group is exploring a mixed-use plan with skating features and open-space amenities. A separate council member described efforts with the Nevada County Community Foundation to host a Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) coordinator to improve post-disaster recovery and to coordinate with County OES and faith-based organizations.
Members also shared highlights from arts events, a young-entrepreneurs competition and discussions at the League of California Cities on artificial intelligence and small-city public-safety issues (including support for SB 758, a Cal Cities bill aimed at banning retail sales of nitrous oxide).
No formal council action was taken on these reports during the meeting; councilmembers requested staff follow-up on grants and Caltrans coordination.
