Nevada City School District asks council to redirect Prop 64 funds to 7 Hills field improvements
Summary
John Bagot, superintendent of the Nevada City School District, told the council the district is seeking to redirect Prop 64 funds to complete restrooms, a snack shack and ADA upgrades at 7 Hills field and said the district has set aside $150,000 for the project; he described the project as 'shovel ready.'
John Bagot, superintendent of the Nevada City School District, urged the council during public comment to consider redirecting Prop 64 funds to finish improvements at the 7 Hills field, including restrooms, a snack shack and ADA accessibility.
Bagot said the district had set aside $150,000 for the project and described the work as "shovel ready." He asked for collaboration with the city and said the district is working to keep contracts local where possible. Bagot also noted Measure H, a separate $26 million school bond on the ballot, was polling at roughly 64% in returns he cited — above the 55% threshold required for passage.
The council did not take immediate action on funding at the June 10 meeting; Bagot asked that the request be considered in future discussions about community parks and budget priorities. City staff and the district will continue coordinating next steps.
