• Critical Issues for the City

The workshops are scheduled for Wednesday August 3^rd and August 17^th from 5:30 to 9:00 PM with separate topics at each meeting. To sign-up, contact City Manager Sean Grayson by phone 530-265-2496 x 119 or by email sean.grayson@nevadacityca.gov. Topic and meeting information to help optimize your time will be sent to those that sign-up in advance of the meetings.

Input from all of the stakeholder group meetings will be shared with the City Council at Special City Council meetings held as Strategic Planning Workshops so that the City Council may include information shared from all stakeholders in their decision-making process toward the creation of a published strategic plan.

Surveys and other instruments seeking input will be made available on the City’s website and shared through multiple communications channels beginning July 25, 2022, for those that cannot or choose not to participate in the group workshops.
