NCQC meets

PRESCOTT – Aside from approving an ordinance appropriating money for a public safety grant, July’s meeting of the Nevada County Quorum Court was mostly reports from committees.

The grant is for $35,255.92 and will not cost the county anything. The money will be spent for public safety equipment. The court was informed there is another grant, this one federal, for $62,000, for the same thing.

Jamie Hillery, executive director of the Prescott-Nevada County Economic Development Office, told the court there’s a ribbon cutting at Trina’s Diner at 11 a.m. Thursday morning. Trina’s is located where the former 4 of a Kind BBQ was on Holly St. She added the library held its summer reading program with a drive-in movie, which was a lot of fun. Plans are to make this an annual event. She told the court the Chamber is getting close to the end of its fiscal year and the court will receive a copy of its financial report afterwards. Additionally, Hillery said a marker for the time capsule came in and she’d like to do something special for it.

Stacey Stone, county agent, said June was the busiest month they’ve had with 10 students showing locally, a craft camp was hosted, the 13-year-olds participated in the 4H O’Rama. The junior team was second in the state quiz bowl while the senior team finished third. He added the Extension Office has a new net hog trap available for landowners.

Other activities included commodity letters at the senior center; information booths at the DHS office, food pantry, senior center, Nevada County Health Unit and library, the EHC monthly meeting is set for July 20 at noon, wellness day at the senior center was July 11, SNAP education will be at the library July 13, healthy snacks and yoga on July 19 and a meeting with the Prescott-Nevada County Health Alliance on July 26.
