Date: September 16, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council
From: Benjamin Moody, City Manager
Subject: Recology Amendment - Franchise Fee Update to Align with Regional Agreements
Summary: Recommendation: Approve Amendment No. 2 to Collection Service Agreement and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.

Fiscal Impact: Approximately $16,000 annually, to help offset City costs related to street, stormwater, and program
implementation related expenses.

To adjust the City's Collection Service Agreement with Recology to align the Franchise Fee with Yuba Sutter Regional Waste Management Agency partners.

In and around September 2018, the Cities of Live Oak, Marysville, Wheatland, and Sutter and Yuba Counties (collectively, the "Participating Member Agencies") of the Regional Waste Management Authority (RWMA) entered into agreements with Recology to provide exclusive solid waste, recycling, and organics collection services. The agreements established service standards, diversion requirements, franchise fees, rate adjustment procedures, and other operational provisions necessary to ensure compliance with State waste management laws.

The agreement was originally structured with a ten-year term beginning October 1, 2018, with opportunities for extension periods.

In August 2019, the City of Yuba City entered into a CSA with Recology with substantially similar terms.

In June 2021, the Participating Member Agencies executed Amendment No. 1, which made several administrative and operational clarifications to the agreement. Amendment No. 1 did not materially alter the structure of the franchise agreement but provided updates intended to ensure consistency with the operations of the regional solid waste system.

In 2022, the City of Yuba City adopted an amendment to its own CSA with Recology. That amendment included several provisions that differed from the agreements maintained by the

CITY OF LIVE OAK

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item 4.
18 Analysis:

Fiscal Impact:

Recommendation:
other RWMA member jurisdictions, including diversion calculation methodology and the structure of recycling coordination services.

Following Yuba City's amendment, the Participating Member Agencies issued an acknowledgment of the modified provisions and agreed that similar language would be incorporated into their CSAs during the next amendment cycle, in order to maintain regional alignment among the RWMA member jurisdictions.

In October of each year, the Collection Service Agreement provides specific terms related to adjusting and implementing rates related to inflation amounts. With the annual adjustment, staff also recommends updating the franchise fee charged to Recology to be amended, changing the rate from 9% to 10%. This change will update our service agreement to align with member agencies and provides funds to offset City costs related to implementing state and locally required waste management programs.

The RWMA executive director is aware and supports the amendment.

The estimated annual revenue to the City will increase by approximately $16,000. This proposed revenue is locally controlled, for City determined priorities.

Annually substantial costs to the City are incurred due to implementing waste management activities, including implementing state SB1383 requirements, meeting necessary ongoing state storm water requirements, street sweeping costs, while also incurring ongoing impacts to our local roadways related to garbage truck hauling impacts.

Approve Amendment No. 2 to Collection Service Agreement and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.

From: Jaspreet Kaur, Community and Economic Development Director
Subject: Code Enforcement Fee Update
Summary: Recommendation: Conduct a Public Hearing to receive comments on the proposed Code Enforcement Fee updates,
and upon close of the Public Hearing, adopt a resolution amending the City's Master Fee Schedule to consolidate the existing Code Enforcement Fees into a single Code
Enforcement Fee structure and establish associated violation and appeal fees consistent with Title 8, Chapter 8.24,
Nuisance Abatement Code.

Fiscal Impact: Revenue and costs vary due to the number and complexity of the code enforcement violations encountered.

To update Code Enforcement Fees to match the newly adopted Nuisance Abatement Code.

During the August 19, 2026 Council meeting, the City Council adopted an updated Nuisance Abatement Code to help streamline processes, address current needs, and provide staff adequate legal tools to remedy public nuisances. With the adoption of the ordinance, staff is also recommending the Master Fee Schedule is updated to align with the new code.

During the Nuisance Abatement Code update, staff reviewed the existing fees and determined to consolidate the City's existing fee categories into one Code Enforcement Fee. The change is intended to create a consistent fee structure for violations and eliminate the separate fee category based on the type of code violation.

The proposed fees are:
* First Violation: $100
* Second Violation: $200
* Third Violation: $500

27 Fiscal Impact:

Recommendation:
* Each additional violation of the same code provision: $500 * Initial Appeal: $300 nonrefundable
* Appeal Hearing: $950
The proposed Initial Appeal Fee and Appeal Hearing Fee is intended to recover a portion of the City's administrative cost associated with processing the appeal, including staff review, preparation, coordination, and other administrative processing as required.

Revenue and costs vary due to the number and complexity of the code enforcement violations encountered. Staff anticipates that violation amounts issued will substantially offset current code enforcement officer salary costs.

Conduct a Public Hearing to receive comments on the proposed Code Enforcement Fee updates, and upon close of the Public Hearing, adopt a resolution amending the City's Master Fee Schedule to consolidate the existing Code Enforcement Fees into a single Code Enforcement Fee structure and establish associated violation and appeal fees consistent with Title 8, Chapter 8.24, Nuisance Abatement Code.

To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council
From: Jessica Mata, Management Analyst
Summary
Subject: Establish an Operator-In-Training position and update the Water/Wastewater Operator salary schedule.

Recommendation: 1. Approve the Operator-In-Training position within the Public Works Department, corresponding job description, and salary range as reflected in the updated salary schedule.

2. Approve revisions to the Water/Wastewater Operator I and Operator II to align pay levels and help with hiring and retention.

Fiscal Impact: The Operator-In-Training position is approximately 27% below the current budgeted operator III position.

Purpose:

Create a Water/Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator-In-Training position and update the salary schedule for the Operator series. This gives the City an entry-level path to hire and train future certified operators while keeping pay levels aligned.

Background:

The City runs water and wastewater systems that need trained and certified staff. These services protect public health, meet legal requirements, and keep City services operating. It has become harder to hire certified operators because the job market is more competitive. A recent vacancy in the Water/Wastewater Operator series showed the need for hiring options. An Operator-In-Training position provides the City the ability to hire applicants that can be trained while working toward certification.

The City does not currently have an entry-level position for people who are still completing training, gaining experience, or working toward certification. Adding this position would also help the City train future operators from within and meet long-term staffing needs. 34 Analysis:

Creating the Operator-In-Training position will let the City consider applicants who are interested in water/wastewater but do not yet have all the necessary state certification. The City can train them on local systems, procedures, and regulatory requirements to ultimately aid the employee to obtain necessary training hours to help become certified.

Updating the salary schedule will keep the Operator-In-Training, Operator I, Operator II, and Operator III pay levels aligned while not adjusting any current employee rates. Current Operator III salary positions will remain the same. It will also help the City hire, keep, and promote employees as they earn certifications and take on more responsibility.

Fiscal Impact:

Each classification in this series is proposed to be benchmarked 10% below the next higher position. Total compensation costs will depend on starting salary, hiring date, and benefit costs.

Funding for the position would not require an amendment to the approved FY 2026-27 budget.

The Operator-In-Training position is approximately 27% below the current budgeted operator III position.

Date: September 16, 2026

Summary
Subject: Establish Accountant I/II Classification Series.

Recommendation: A. Approve the Accountant I/II classification series within the Finance Department with corresponding job description and salary range.

B. Authorize the Finance Director to amend the FY 2026-27 Budget by making a supplemental appropriation of $8,500 within Salaries & Benefits, allocated as follows: General Fund - $4,675, Sewer Fund - $1,700, Water Fund - $1,700, and Street Fund - $425.

Fiscal Impact: Approximately $8,500 utilizing multiple funding sources.

Purpose:

Create an Accountant I/II classification series and update the salary schedule to support the Finance Department’s evolving operational and professional accounting needs.

Background:

The City’s Finance Department has experienced a shift in workload, following the Finance Director position now being filled full-time internally. The department’s daily tasks have expanded beyond clerical and administrative duties to include more professional, analytical, and project-based work.

This new series matches the actual work being done and gives the City more flexibility to recruit and promote staff internally.

Analysis:

Establishing the Accountant I/II classification helps both current operational needs and long-term staffing goals. It ensures that job titles match the advanced work now being performed in the Finance Department. The Accountant I/II classification series allows the City to attract candidates with varying levels of experience while giving current employees a clear path to move up as they gain knowledge and take on higher levels of duties and responsibilities. 47 Fiscal Impact:

The proposed salary schedule establishes Accountant II at the current Financial Analyst salary range and Accountant I 10% below Accountant II. Total compensation costs will depend on starting salary, hiring date, and benefit costs. Funding for the position is proposed in this fiscal year through a supplemental appropriation. The amount is the difference between the current budgeted Senior Administrative Assistant and proposed Accountant I/II series for the remainder of the fiscal year. Total fiscal year cost is estimated at $8,500, utilizing the funding from the General Fund, Water Fund, Sewer Fund, and Streets Fund. Ultimately this change continues to restructure the City departments to be able to stand independent of the consultant help, which provides long-term savings.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
Accountant I
This classification is the entry-level in the Accountant series. The main focus at this level is both a technical and analytical role, with work involving professional government accounting.

Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and are performed with greater independence. This class is alternatively staffed with Accountant II and incumbents may advance to the higher level class after gaining the knowledge, skills, and experience that meet the qualifications for and demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higherlevel class.

Accountant II
This is the journey-level classification in the Accountant series. Incumbents at this level perform the more difficult assignments, projects, analyses, and programs assigned to classes within the series, requiring the use of considerable discretion and independent judgement in performing assigned work, and full and thorough knowledge of the concepts, practices, procedures, and policies of governmental accounting.

58 Purpose:

Background:

Analysis:

Date: September 16, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council
From: Benjamin Moody, City Manager
Subject: Revenue Sharing Agreement with Sutter County - 1% Transactions and Use Tax
Summary: Recommendation: Adopt the resolution, authorizing an exchange of transactions and use tax revenues with the
County of Sutter if voters approve Measure G.

Fiscal Impact: Approximately $750,000 annually, contingent on the successful passage of Measure G.

To annually receive countywide transaction and use (sales) tax funds generated via Sutter County's Measure G ballot initiative.

At the July 28, 2026, meeting of the Sutter County Board of Supervisors, the Board voted to place a 1 cent (1%) transactions and use (sales) tax on the November 3, 2026, ballot. At that same meeting, the Board directed the County Administrator to complete revenue sharing agreements with the cities of Live Oak and Yuba City should the 1% sales tax measure, now known as Measure G, be approved by voters in November 2026.

At the Board of Supervisors September 8, 2026, meeting the Board approved a revenue sharing agreement with terms that were developed through discussions and collaboration with the jurisdictions' administrators.

The recommended agreement terms recognize that most sales tax is generated in cities and many services in cities are provided by the County.

The terms of that tentative agreement are as follows:

1. Sutter County retains 100% of sales tax generated in the unincorporated area of the County. This equals approximately $5,500,000. Sutter County also retains 22.5% of the sales tax revenue generated in Yuba City in recognition of services provided by the County. This equals approximately $3,700,000. Total revenue equals $9.2 million annually.

Recommendation:

2. The City of Live Oak retains 100% of sales tax generated within Live Oak. Additionally, there is a base sales tax guaranteed amount of $750,000 per year from July 1, 2027, through June 30,2029. Should the City of Live Oak generate sales tax exceeding $750,000 annually, the City will then receive the full amount generated and is not limited to the $750,000 base.

The City Manager of Live Oak and the County Administrator worked jointly to develop this sharing plan to be effective only upon the successful passage of Measure G.

The estimated annual revenue to the City of Live Oak is approximately $750,000. Through the agreement, the City will retain 100% of the proposed 1% transactions and use tax generated in the City of Live Oak. This proposed revenue is locally controlled, solely by the City, for City determined priorities.

As the City develops and promotes economic development, this agreement sets the foundation for the City to receive the full economic benefit.

Adopt the resolution, authorizing an exchange of transactions and use tax revenues with the County of Sutter if voters approve Measure G.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVE OAK AUTHORIZING AN EXCHANGE OF TRANSACTIONS AND

USE TAX REVENUES WITH THE COUNTY OF SUTTER IF VOTERS APPROVE MEASURE G WHEREAS, on July 28, 2026, the Sutter County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution placing a one percent (1%) countywide transactions and use tax measure, known as “Measure G,” on the general election ballot for November 3, 2026 (Rev. & Tax. Code, § 7251 et seq.); and
WHEREAS, at that same meeting, the Board directed the County Administrator to negotiate revenue sharing agreements with the Cities of Live Oak and Yuba City, to become effective only if Measure G is approved by the voters and enacted; and
WHEREAS, the County, Yuba City, and the City of Live Oak recognize that although Measure G revenue is imposed and collected countywide, most transactions and use tax revenue is generated by economic activity occurring within the incorporated cities, while the County provides significant municipal-type services, including law enforcement services, within portions of those cities; and
WHEREAS, the County and Live Oak are each authorized to enter into agreements for the sharing of tax revenues and the cooperative provision of governmental services between local agencies.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Live Oak does hereby resolve as follows:

SECTION 1. The Council finds that all the facts, findings, and conclusions set forth above in this Resolution are true and correct.

SECTION 2. The Council hereby approves the negotiated agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference, which provides a mechanism by which the County and Live Oak shall share revenue generated within Live Oak from the transactions and use tax imposed under Measure G (the “Agreement”).

The Council hereby authorizes the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Agreement.

SECTION 3. The City Clerk is hereby directed to certify passage of this resolution.

SECTION 4. Should any section, clause, or provision of this Resolution be declared by the Courts to be invalid, the same shall not affect the validity of the Resolution as a whole, or parts thereof, other than the part so declared to be invalid.

SECTION 5. The Council finds the adoption of this resolution is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). It concerns a government funding mechanism that does not commit to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that agreeing to an exchange of sales tax revenues, in itself, may have a significant effect on the environment.

F.

Section 4. Conditions to Effectiveness and Related Terms A. This Agreement shall be effective only upon the successful enactment of Measure G at the November 3, 2026 election
B. The County has negotiated a related revenue sharing plan with the City of Yuba City concerning Measure G Revenue generated within Yuba City.

Yuba City if it agrees to do so, will provide documentation on the proposed and actual use of Measure G Revenue in the form and within the deadlines specified by the Citizens' Oversight Commission.

E. Any cost to defend Measure G or its enactment shall be shared by the County and Live Oak in proportion to the Measure G Revenue each would receive under this Agreement.

F. If Measure G is enacted by the voters, the County and Live Oak shall meet, five years after enactment, to discuss the status of Measure G Revenues. This process does not bind either Party to make changes to this Agreement, but allows for an informed discussion at a specific interval.

Section 7. Term
This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect for so long as the Measure G Tax remains in effect, unless earlier terminated or amended by the mutual written agreement of the Parties.

Section 8. Entire Agreement

Section 9. Indemnification
Each Party shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the other Party, and its officials, officers, agents, and employees, from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, causes of action, liens, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and / or the sharing of Measure G Revenue under this Agreement.

SUTTER COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Board Agenda Staff Report
To: Honorable Board of Supervisors
From: Steven M. Smith, County Administrator
Department: County Administrator
Subject: Approval of revenue-sharing agreements with the City of Yuba City and the City of Live Oak and adoption of the related resolutions (MT7988)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors approves revenue-sharing agreements and adopts the associated resolutions:

1. Agreement for sharing revenue between Sutter County and the City of Live Oak

2. Agreement for sharing revenue between Sutter County and the City of Yuba City Background and Discussion:

At the July 28, 2026, meeting of the Board of Supervisors, the Board voted to place a 1 cent (1%) transactions and use (sales) tax on the November 3, 2026 ballot. At that same meeting, the Board directed the County Administrator to complete revenue sharing agreements with the cities of Live Oak and Yuba City should the 1% sales tax measure, now known as Measure G, be approved by voters in November 2026. Through discussions, the jurisdictions' administrators have produced collaborative agreements. The recommendations recognize that most sales tax is generated in cities and many services in cities are provided by the County. The terms of that tentative agreement are as follows:

1. Sutter County retains 100% of sales tax generated in the unincorporated area of the County. This equals approximately $5,500,000. Sutter County also retains 22.5% of the sales tax revenue generated in Yuba City in recognition of services provided by the County. This equals approximately $3,700,000. Total revenue equals $9.2 million annually.

2. The City of Yuba City retains 77.5% of sales tax generated in Yuba City. This equates to approximately $12,550,000. No later than July 1, 2028, Yuba City Police Department will assume responsibility from the Sutter County Sheriff's Office for law enforcement services in the area designated under the 2000 Master Tax Exchange Agreement (MTEA) as "Beat 6" in the City and "Beat 7" in the County.

3. The City of Live Oak retains 100% of sales tax generated within Live Oak. Additionally, there is a base sales tax guaranteed amount of $750,000 per year from July 1, 2027, through June 30, 2029. Should the City of Live Oak generate sales tax exceeding $750,000 annually, the City will then receive the full amount generated and is not limited to the $750,000 base.

Additional recommendations agreed to are:
22 Packet Pg. 42169
Yuba City: The amount of sales tax transferred from the City to the County under the 2000 MTEA will cease effective July 1, 2028 when the City takes over law enforcement of the Beat 6/7 area. If the City does not take over services by July 1, 2028, the County shall continue to provide services and bill the City quarterly for the actual cost of services provided. The City and County will work jointly with LAFCO to make the necessary changes to the 2000 MTEA to reflect the provisions of the plan.

Prior Board Action:

The Board has not considered this action previously.

Board Alternatives:

The Board could direct staff to consider different terms for the agreements.

Other Department and/or Agency Involvement:

The City Manager of Live Oak, City Manager of Yuba City, and the County Administrator and staff of each jurisdiction worked jointly to develop this sharing plan to be effective only upon the successful passage of Measure G.

Action Following Approval:

The administrators of each jurisdiction will present the final agreement to the Board/Councils for consideration.

Fiscal Impact:

The following table provides a snapshot of the estimated revenue that could be generated:

Jurisdiction Tax Rate Estimated Annual New
Revenue
Live Oak 8.25% $750,000
Sutter County 8.25% $9,200,000
Yuba City 8.25% $12,550,000
Total $22,500,000
Countywide Goals and/or Top Priorities Compliance:

This recommendation is consistent with Goal B – operate County government in a fiscally and managerially responsible manner.

Standing Committee Review:

This recommendation was not reviewed by a standing committee of the Board of Supervisors due to time constraints and is placed on the agenda as an appearance item by the County Administrator.

Respectfully Submitted,
s/ Steven M. Smith
County Administrator

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF SUTTER AND THE
CITY OF YUBA CITY REGARDING MEASURE G (2026)
This agreement to revise revenue sharing and law enforcement responsibilities (“Agreement”) is entered into between the City of Yuba City (“City” or “Yuba City”), and the County of Sutter (“County”), and is effective as of the Effective Date defined herein.

The City and the County are sometimes individually referred to in this Agreement as “City,” “County,” or “Party,” and collectively as “Parties.”

RECITALS
Whereas, on July 28, 2026, the Sutter County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution placing a one percent (1%) countywide transactions and use tax measure, known as “Measure G,” on the general election ballot for November 3, 2026 (Rev. & Tax.

Code, § 7251 et seq.);
Whereas, at that same meeting, the Board directed the County Administrator to negotiate revenue sharing agreements with the Cities of Live Oak and Yuba City, to become effective only if Measure G is approved by the voters and enacted; Whereas, the County, Yuba City, and the City of Live Oak recognize that although Measure G revenue is imposed and collected countywide, most transactions and use tax revenue is generated by economic activity occurring within the incorporated cities, while the County provides significant municipal-type services, including law enforcement services, within portions of those cities;
Whereas, in 2000, the County, Yuba City, and the City of Live Oak entered a Master Tax Exchange Agreement (the “2000 MTEA”), under which the County provides law enforcement services within the area designated as “Beat 6” in Yuba City and “Beat 7” in the unincorporated County (collectively, the “Beat 6/7 Area”), and Yuba City transfers a portion of its local sales and use tax revenue to the County in exchange for those services;
Whereas, the County and Yuba City desire that, in connection with the adoption of Measure G, the Yuba City Police Department assume responsibility for law enforcement services within the Beat 6/7 Area no later than July 1, 2028, and that the 2000 MTEA be amended to reflect that transition;
Whereas, the County and Yuba City are each authorized to enter into agreements for the sharing of tax revenues and the cooperative provision of governmental services between local agencies; and
Whereas, the County has negotiated a related, but separate, revenue sharing plan with the City of Live Oak addressing the allocation of Measure G revenue generated within Live Oak, which plan is intended to be implemented concurrently with this Agreement;

Packet Pg. 423 Attachment: Tax Sharing Agreement - Yuba City (7988 : Revenue-sharing agreements and resolutions) 71 2 of 7
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions
The terms below, which are not defined elsewhere in this Agreement, have the following meanings:
“CDTFA” means the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, or any successor agency responsible for administering and collecting the tax imposed under Measure G.
“City TUT Revenue” means the portion of Measure G Revenue generated by transactions and uses occurring within the corporate boundaries of Yuba City. “Effective Date” means the date after Measure G goes into effect following its approval by voters at the election scheduled for November 3, 2026. “Fiscal Year” means the period commencing July 1 of any calendar year and ending June 30 of the subsequent calendar year.
“Law Enforcement Services” means patrol, crime investigation, and related services such as dispatch.
“Measure G” means the countywide transactions and use tax (Rev. & Tax. Code, § 7251 et seq.) the County has proposed and submitted to the voters in the election scheduled for November 3, 2026.
“Measure G Revenue” means the revenues collected by CDTFA and transmitted to the County pursuant to Measure G. This excludes any amount retained by CDTFA as reimbursement for its costs of collecting and administering Measure G, and it excludes any revenue collected by CDTFA and transmitted to the County pursuant to any other local sales or transactions and use tax.

Section 2. Purpose of Agreement
The purpose of this Agreement is to (a) provide a mechanism by which the County and Yuba City shall share revenue generated within Yuba City from the transactions and use tax imposed under Measure G, and (b) transfer the responsibility for law enforcement services within the Beat 6/7 Area from the County to Yuba City, with a corresponding amendment to the 2000 MTEA.

Section 3. Agreement to Share Measure G Revenue
A. Beginning on the Effective Date, and continuing thereafter for so long as Measure G remains in effect, the County shall pay to Yuba City 77.5 percent of City TUT Revenue, and the County shall retain the remaining 22.5 percent of City TUT Revenue.

22.a
Packet Pg. 424 Attachment: Tax Sharing Agreement - Yuba City (7988 : Revenue-sharing agreements and resolutions) 72 3 of 7
B. The County shall estimate the amount it owes to Yuba City pursuant to Section 3A and pay this amount to Yuba City not less than quarterly, no later than 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The County shall make this payment from any discretionary source of funding that the County can legally transfer to the City.

C. As soon as reasonably possible following the end of each Fiscal Year, the County and the City shall engage an independent third party with relevant expertise to determine whether the amounts the County paid to the City pursuant to Section 3B match the amount the County owed to the City for that Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 3A. If this review shows an overpayment was made to Yuba City, the County shall deduct the overpayment from the next payment to Yuba City pursuant to Section 3B. If the reconciliation shows an underpayment was made to Yuba City, the County shall pay the underpaid amount to Yuba City within 10 days after the County receives the third party’s report to that effect.

D. If at any time during or after the term of this Agreement, either CDTFA or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any portion of Measure G Revenue was improperly collected and / or distributed to the County, and it requires repayments or offsets against future distributions of Measure G Revenue, the County and the City shall share responsibility for these repayments or offsets in proportion to their entitlement to Measure G Revenue pursuant to Section 3A. In the case of a required repayment, the County shall make the repayment as ordered by CDTFA or the court, as applicable, and it shall send written notice to the City of the City’s share of this repayment. The City shall pay its share of the repayment to the County within 10 days of receiving this notice.

E. Should the County fail to reimburse the City for underpayments pursuant to Section 3C, or should the City fail to reimburse the County for the City’s share of repayments pursuant to Section 3D, the reimbursement obligation shall accrue interest at a rate of 2 percent per annum, compounded monthly, commencing on the 30th day following the payment deadline.

F. The Parties acknowledge that there may be changes in law or fact after execution of this Agreement, whether by legislation or court decision, that affect Measure G, CDTFA’s administration of it, or the distribution of Measure G Revenue. If either Party believes such a change is inconsistent with the Parties’ intent in entering this Agreement, that Party may request, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith, a revision of this Agreement consistent with the Parties’ original intent.

Section 4. Transition of Law Enforcement Services
A. No later than July 1, 2028, the Yuba City Police Department shall assume responsibility, currently held by the Sutter County Sheriff's Office, for Law Enforcement Services within the Beat 6/7 Area. The Sheriff will work with City personnel to coordinate a successful transfer of Law Enforcement Services to the City.

B. Effective July 1, 2028, the transfer of local sales and use tax revenue from Yuba City to the County under the 2000 MTEA to support Law Enforcement Services in

22.a
Packet Pg. 425 Attachment: Tax Sharing Agreement - Yuba City (7988 : Revenue-sharing agreements and resolutions) 73 4 of 7
the Beat 6/7 Area shall cease. To assist the City with transition costs for taking over Beat 6/7, this means the City shall not be required to transfer the local sales and use tax revenue for FY 2027–2028 that, under the 2000 MTEA, the City would otherwise be required to transfer during FY 2028–2029.

C. If Yuba City does not provide Law Enforcement Services in the Beat 6/7 Area by July 1, 2028, the County shall continue to provide Law Enforcement Services within the Beat 6/7 Area and shall invoice Yuba City quarterly for the actual cost of providing those services, until Yuba City assumes that responsibility. The City shall pay each invoice within 30 days of receiving it. Late payments shall be subject to the interest described in Section 3E.

D. The County and Yuba City shall work jointly, and with the Sutter Local Agency Formation Commission as may be necessary, to amend the 2000 MTEA to reflect the provisions of this Section 4.

E. Other than the changes related to Law Enforcement Services in the Beat 6/7 Area described in this Section 4, this Agreement makes no other changes to the 2000 MTEA. In particular, and without limitation, there is no change to the City’s responsibility to provide fire services within the area designated in the 2000 MTEA as County Service Area G, or to the County’s responsibility to pay the City for those services in that area as described in the 2000 MTEA.

Section 5. Conditions to Effectiveness and Related Terms A. This Agreement shall be effective only upon the successful enactment of Measure G at the November 3, 2026 election.

B. The County has negotiated a related revenue sharing plan with the City of Live Oak concerning Measure G Revenue generated within Live Oak. The County will work with the City of Live Oak so that plan provides sufficient funding for the revenue exchange contemplated by that plan. If that plan cannot be effectuated, the Parties shall meet and confer regarding the effect, if any, on this Agreement.

C. Neither the County nor Yuba City shall place restrictions on the other Party's use of Measure G Revenue provided under this Agreement, other than restrictions required of either Party by local, state, or federal law.

D. The County and Yuba City will work with the City of Live Oak to jointly form a Citizens' Oversight Commission to report on the use of funds distributed under this Agreement and the related agreement with the City of Live Oak. The County and Yuba City, and the City of Live Oak if it agrees to do so, will provide documentation on the proposed and actual use of Measure G Revenue in the form and within the deadlines specified by the Citizens' Oversight Commission.

E. Any cost to defend Measure G or its enactment shall be shared by the County and Yuba City in proportion to the Measure G Revenue each would receive under this Agreement.

22.a
Packet Pg. 426 Attachment: Tax Sharing Agreement - Yuba City (7988 : Revenue-sharing agreements and resolutions) 74 5 of 7
F. If Measure G is enacted by the voters, the County and Yuba City shall meet, five years after enactment, to discuss the status of Measure G Revenues. This process does not bind either Party to make changes to this Agreement, but allows for an informed discussion at a specific interval.

Section 6. Term
This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect for so long as the Measure G Tax remains in effect, unless earlier terminated or amended by the mutual written agreement of the Parties.

Section 7. Entire Agreement
With respect to the subject matter hereof, this Agreement supersedes any and all previous negotiations, proposals, commitments, writings, and understandings of any nature between the County and Yuba City, except as otherwise provided herein.

Each Party shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the other Party, and its officials, officers, agents, and employees, from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, causes of action, liens, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and / or the sharing of Measure G Revenue under this Agreement.
