UPDATES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY AND CITY MANAGER City Manager Benjamin Moody reported that the city is coordinating with Sutter County on a paving contract.
Construction activity is expected to begin later this week, with signage and road grinding scheduled on N Street and Nevada Street ahead of paving planned for next Monday. He also shared that he met this week with the Sheriff and the Sutter County CAO regarding public safety contracts. The meeting was productive, with progress made toward a more collaborative, team-based approach. However, adjustments will be necessary to meet the city's funding needs, and those changes will result in some reductions in service levels. The current goal is to maintain deputy coverage 24/7, with a supervisor available during daytime hours. Lastly, he provided an update on a potential joint revenue measure with Sutter County and the City of Yuba City.
COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS
Councilmember Santana inquired about the status of the potential joint revenue measure involving Sutter County and the City of Yuba City.
Vice Mayor Pamma thanked staff for their efforts and noted it would be beneficial to bring forward code enforcement fees for Council consideration. He also highlighted upcoming community events, including Punjabi Night at the high school on Friday evening and the Farmers Market senior project on Saturday.
Councilmember Woten touched on his attendance at a Regional Housing Authority meeting, highlighting the agency's proactive approach to property maintenance. He also recognized the agency for several improvements and projects that have been completed on properties located within the community.
Mayor Chapdelaine recognized staff for the items brought before Council, noting the comprehensiveness and action-driven reports presented. He also noted it was encouraging to see the proactive approach by the Regional Housing Authority regarding property maintenance. He reported attending meetings with the Sutter Butte Flood Control Agency and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) last week. He also highlighted an upcoming SACOG board meeting and noted the city is entering grant season, with significant work expected over the next few months as various funding opportunities open and the city prepares to apply for potential awards.
