Commissioners
The Nevada County Transportation Commission (NCTC) has seven members. Four members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors and three are appointed by the incorporated municipalities in the County. The Board of Supervisors appoints two members of the Board of Supervisors and two county at-large representatives. The municipalities appoint the other three city/town representatives, one each from Grass Valley, Nevada City and the Town of Truckee. The Commission holds meetings the third Wednesday of every other month, and the public is welcome.
On May 19, 2010 the NCTC accepted designation as the Nevada County Airport Land Use Commission (NCALUC) for the Nevada County Airport (NCTC Resolution 10-29). The NCALUC meets during the NCTC meetings, as needed, therefore the NCTC Commissioners are also designated as NCALUC Commissioners, and Agendas and Minutes for both Commissions are incorporated into NCTC documents.
