Residents seek clarity on NRMC property plans and request Twin Lake ballfield lease
Summary
During public comment on April 3, 2026, residents asked the City of Nevada about leasing Twin Lake Ballfields for a nonprofit league and raised questions about NRMC becoming a hospital district and whether the city has a memorandum of understanding regarding NRMC property.
Public commenters at the Nevada City Council special session on April 3 raised two related concerns: access to city-owned ballfields and transparency about the future of the NRMC property.
Clara Sands asked how to obtain a lease for Twin Lake Ballfields to be used by a nonprofit softball league and expressed concern about the condition of the fields; she said she would send photos of field conditions to the City Clerk for distribution to council members. Joe Pierobon, identified in the minutes as a 20-year resident, said he is concerned about NRMC becoming a hospital district and noted that, as recorded in the minutes, there is no memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the City of Nevada; he asked for transparency from the city about its intent with the property. Heather Trystman asked how much the city would want for the NRMC building; Mayor Branham replied there will be an open session to discuss that topic.
No formal action or vote on NRMC or a ballfield lease took place at the April 3 meeting. The mayor indicated an open session would be scheduled to discuss the NRMC property, which would provide an opportunity for more public information and potential council direction.
