The county seat of Nevada County has a population of around 3,100 and is located on the forested western slope of the Sierra Nevada. This Gold Rush town is so well-preserved that the Nevada City Downtown Historic District is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. That history is celebrated in museums dedicated to mining and railroads, but modern culture gets its due with the Nevada City Film Festival, the Wild and Scenic River Festival, the Miners Foundry Cultural Center, and public radio station KMVR.
The council meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at 6:30 p.m. Unless held virtually, the meetings take place at City Hall, 317 Broad St.
As Nevada City works on its five-year plan, the City Council will conduct public workshops Aug. 3 and 17, with separate topics at each meeting. Information will be sent in advance to those who sign up for the meetings.
