Regular meetings: Second and fourth Tuesdays at 6 p.m.; check the posted agenda.. Cornish heritage, historic mines and a working downtown give Grass Valley a character all its own. Bring that local sense of place to a clear, coordinated print and digital project. LCP welcomes Grass Valley businesses, community organizations and civic teams with practical production support. The City’s council, clerk and map resources also provide a useful starting point for preparing accurate local information. Cornish connections and a mining landscape. The City’s history connects Grass Valley with the Empire and North Star mines and with miners who arrived from Cornwall. That heritage remains visible in the City’s account of Cornish Christmas and St. Piran’s Day. Its sister-city relationship with Bodmin adds another specific connection to Cornwall. For a project that includes a location or service area, the City’s Maps page provides city-boundary, zoning and downtown resources. Choose the map that matches the purpose of the piece before labeling a venue or coverage area. A council-manager city with accessible records. Grass Valley’s charter establishes council-manager government: the elected council sets policy and the manager directs implementation. The five-member council is elected at large, with the mayor selected by the council. The City Clerk prepares agendas and minutes, maintains resolutions and ordinances, coordinates municipal elections with Nevada County and serves as the filing official for campaign disclosures. The linked Council Code of Conduct is an additional resource for understanding council roles and working relationships. Municipal filing and county election resources. Start with the City Clerk for council nomination papers and with the City’s campaign-disclosure page for published filings. Nevada County’s candidate information distinguishes municipal clerk filing from filing for county, school and special-district offices. Use the clerk’s current notice and the county’s election materials when scheduling time-sensitive production. General election overview pages and older archive entries should be checked against the notice for the specific election. LCP production for a Grass Valley project.
