Elmer Stoon © 1975 Sierra Features ‘It WAS an emergency!" ops plans for t transportation grant Nevada City Council members Monday night agreed not to proceed any farther with an application to the state for a grant of $2,000 to finance a supplemental transportation plan for the elderly residents of the city. At the last meeting the council agreed unanimously to send a letter of intent to the state and to submit a formal application if things were ‘‘worked out’’ before Feb 21. During that meeting the Rev. Robert Meyer, speaking as a_ representative from. the Area IV Agency on Aging, advised the board there was $2,000 in state monies earmarked for transportation, and available to the city. He-suggested the money be used to subsidize a taxi service for persons over 60, for a three year period. He also advised that whoever receives the grant, must see that the program runs for three years, even though funding would not last that length of time, causing the city to pick up the tab. Art Richards, community assistant for Area IV, pointed out that money would be used for the elderly to obtain transportation for nutrition and health services. City Manager Beryl Robinson Jr. explained that Grace Lutheran Church in Grass Valley had. also applied for funds, in the amount of $5,200. He said he had talked to David Laird, citizens representative to the Transportation Agency, and he informed Robinson there were, 600 residents in Nevada City over the age of 60. He feels the program would cost about $200 per month and funds would only last 10 months. In addition, transportation funds cannot be used to finance the program unless the taxi is placed under the control of the Public Utilities Commission. Half million Californians lost licenses More than one-half million California motorists lost or otherwise misplaced their drivers licenses last year and had to be issued duplicates, according to a recent report issued by the State Department of Motor Vehicles. The 500,989 duplicates issued during 1974 represented over 10 per cent of total drivers license issuance activities, said DMV Director Robert Cozens. Over 4,840,00 licenses were issued during 1974, of which 3,330,000 were renewals and-807,000 were originals. The total number of licensed California drivers grew to more than 13 million about the end of . October, he added. Four per cent of the applicants — some * 201,000 — were reissued licenses to upgrade a_— driving classification or make some other status change. According to the report 25 per cent of the licenses issued last year carried some sort of .-eFestrictions, the-most-common ~ of which is “corrective lenses.” ‘downtown ‘‘We don’t have enough funds to finance everything,” Mayor John Rankin said, ‘and we’will have to give up the gas lights or Ott’s Assay Office or something we need some funds: for emergency use.” They agreed to let the Grace Lutheran Church handle the program; Peter Ray was the only negative vote. In other action, the council: ' -Heard a request from Peter Hoffman and Bruce West regarding a privately funded improvement project. The two men presented photos and sketches of Pine Street between Broad and Commercial Streets, running alongside the Button Works and Elks — buildings, which are rather ‘‘stark and_ oblique,”’ according to Hoffman. They suggested the planting of six red maple trees, 16 to 20-feet in height, and surrounded by grillwork or brick around the base. Choice of the red maples was taken because they are a ‘relatively clean tree with no sap or polien’’ and are green in summer, providing shade, in addition to being ‘‘quite spectacular”’ in the fall. According to the men, the maples will withstand dry summer heat as well as the heat from the reflection off sidewalks and buildings. They should ‘“‘top out’’ at approximately 35-feet — the top of the rooflines of the existing buildings. Financing of the $2,000 will be through private citizens and civic organizations. In addition they spoke of “rounding off’’ the corner at the intersection of Main and Coyote Streets, which is presently just “dead space,” and installing some street plantings. Hoffman also advised he had plans to replace the cement-over-board sidewalk in front of the Colorbound and Nevada House located at Main and Commercial Streets, and replacing it with a board walk. -Recommended the reappointment of Alice McGee to the Nevada City Planning Commission and appointed Bruce West as a new member. The two vacancies were created late in 1974 by the resignations of Mrs. McGee and Don Wasley; both eventually changed their minds and asked to be reappointed. Others vieing for the positions were Bob Wyckoff, Bill Falconi, Howard Keene, David Stidolph, John Steger and Dan Gray. PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF FILING APPLICATION FOR INCREASES FOR _INTRASTATE.
