A nearly $200,000 sales tax allocation to the city of Grass Valley at the end of September has put its finances in a less-dicey status, said Public Works Director Tim Kiser, the acting city administrator
The city council had enacted a 60-day freeze on discretionary spending in early September due to a concern that revenues from Measure N, a half-percent temporary sales tax increase, were lagging behind. Measure N allocations reach the city several months after the sale point, based on estimates and with a portion withheld, Kiser previously explained. Once sales figures are cemented, that withheld portion is paid in chunks, referred to as a “true up,” and Grass Valley had feared its end-of-September true up would come in low.

Commuters who used a steep canyon shortcut to Interstate 680 in Fremont, Calif., to avoid traffic will need to take the long road to work in the future.
The Fremont City Council unanimously decided to permanently close the steep portion of Morrison Canyon Road, which commuters had taken advantage of in recent years, to all car traffic, as first reported by the San Jose Mercury News. The road remains open for cyclists and pedestrians.
The city s presentation at the council meeting stated that the narrow stretch of road had become a dangerous, busy route, pitting cyclists and hikers against commuter traffic.
