SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 1, 2024!
The City of Yuba City (“City”) is seeking local artist to design new “Welcome” Signs for the City. The old City Welcome Signs are shown in Attachment 2.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Yuba City has two welcome signs located at the southwest intersection of Township Road / State Route 20 and approximately 1,100 feet southeast of the Bogue Road / Hwy 99 intersection.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: February 20, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Community Services Department
Presentation By: Joshua Wolffe, Associate Engineer
Summary
Subject: Water Tower Plaza Name and Mural Designs - Ad Hoc Committee Recommendation: Establish and designate two (2) Council members to facilitate the Water Tower Plaza Name and Mural Design Ad-Hoc Committee
Fiscal Impact: Minor staff costs associated with time supporting the committee.
Purpose:
To review the mural design submissions received during the Call for Artists, review the name submissions for the proposed plaza under the water tower, and recommend next steps for implementation.
Council’s Strategic Goal:
This item addresses two Council Strategic Goals, “Business Friendly” and “Quality of Life.” The plaza project will make the downtown area a more attractive place for residents by creating a new plaza for the community to enjoy and use for events. The plaza name and mural designs are key components of the project.
Background:
In 2022, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) created the Clean California Local Grant Program (CCLGP) to fund projects which would clean and beautify public spaces, to improve spaces for walking and recreation. Through the review of this grant opportunity, City staff determined that the grant could fund multiple improvements along Plumas Street, while also making new improvements.
In March of 2022, the City received a notification from Caltrans that it had been awarded $2,235,628 for the Plumas Street project, which includes the following improvements to the downtown area:
• Water Tower
o Abate lead paint and remove old lighting systems on the water tower o Re-paint the water tower and install new logos which match current City Standards o Install new multi-colored LED uplighting on water tower
Park Under/Adjacent to Water Tower
• Park/common area with a shade structure
• Playscape Installation
• Drought-tolerant landscaping installation
• Digital event board installation
• Public Mural Installation
• Plumas Street Improvements
o Installation of trash/recycling bins from Bridge Street to State Route 20 o Installation of an illuminated Gateway Arch at the downtown area entrance, which compliments Plumas Street’s current architectural style • Center Street:
o Install festoon-style lighting that crisscrosses over Center Street o Install trash/recycling bins along Center Street
Analysis:
The mural component of this project will consist of installing murals on the walls of the buildings adjacent to the new plaza; Lee's Canton, and Babies to Teens Consignment Shop. Staff has been coordinating directly with Yuba Sutter Arts and Culture to issue a statewide Call for Artists which will yield a variety of mural designs. The Call for Artists will provide the artists concept ideas for said murals. Some concepts proposed to date are as follows:
• Past-to-present theme to highlight growth and development throughout Yuba City • Live, work, play, and walkability
• Plumas Street then and now
• City's first Fire Department using historical photos for reference • 1850s: Newly formed Yuba City area with steamboat landing, small town near the Feather River • 1908: City incorporation, fire station under the water tower • Post 1908 with significant dates/events
• Hidden objects within murals such as Prunes (Sunsweet) and Yuba City Chickens Additionally, staff has received community input regarding the new plaza's name. With multiple ideas for names being submitted, staff wants to ensure all ideas are reviewed, and the best option for the plaza is decided through an Ad-Hoc committee.
Staff recommends establishing an Ad Hoc Committee for the review and selection process for the two murals and plaza name, and to recommend next steps for implementation. The two Councilmembers designated to facilitate the Ad Hoc Committee will select a Committee member from the Downtown Business Association, the subject building owners, and each Commission – Planning Commission, Senior Commission, Parks & Recreation Commission, and Youth Commission. Staff will coordinate with the Ad Hoc Committee to facilitate meetings and coordinate the preparation of a report with recommendations applicable to the entire City Council. Staff anticipates that the final recommendations be made in early-spring of 2024.
Fiscal Impact:
Minor staff costs associated with time supporting the committee.
Alternatives:
Do not form a committee, and provide staff with direction on the selection of mural designs and plaza name directly.
Recommendations:
Establish and designate two (2) Council members to facilitate the Water Tower Plaza Name and Mural Design Ad-Hoc Committee.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: February 20, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Fire Department
Presentation By: Jesse Alexander, Fire Chief, Brian Baker, Police Chief Summary
Subject: Fiscal Year 23/24 Public Safety Mid-Year Budget Adjustment Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Finance Director to make a supplemental appropriations and related transfers for the items noted below:
Fire Department - $927,067 to account 2310-61430, utilizing projected salary savings within the General Fund, 100. Should this projected salary savings not materialize, authorize the Finance Director to transfer up to $975,067 from unallocated General Fund CIP
Police Department - Overspend accounts 2120-63601 and 2130-62701 and offset with salary savings
Fiscal Impact: Fire Department - The requested budget adjustment will impact salary savings from General Fund in the amount of $975,067
Police Department - Overspend accounts 2120-63601 and 2130-62701 in the amount of $196,500 and offset this amount with salary savings Purpose:
Make appropriate budget adjustments to provide for critical Public Safety infrastructure, operations and equipment.
Council's Strategic Goal:
These recommendations support the City Council's Strategic goal of Public Safety.
Background:
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Operations Division of the Yuba City Fire Department staffs five Fire Stations with a daily minimum staffing of 17 personnel. This includes (4) 3-person Fire Engines, (1) 4-person Aerial Ladder Truck, and (1) Battalion Chief, which operates 24-hours a day, 365-days a year. Prior to March 2023, the
daily minimum staffing was 16 personnel per day; however, in 2023 the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant allowed the Fire Department to place a 4th-person on the Aerial Ladder Truck and the intent of the grant was to maintain a daily operational staff of 17 personnel (including the Battalion Chief). The SAFER grant did provide flexibility so that during a Fire Station closure situation due to COVID, Mutual Aid deployments, or draw down situations, the 4th-person on the Aerial Ladder Truck could be reassigned to maintain an open Fire Station. The Yuba City Fire Department has implemented that flexibility on 14 occasions during Fiscal Year 23/24 to maintain an open Fire Station by pulling the 4th-person off the Aerial Ladder Truck and filling vacant positions on Fire Engines when personnel were unavailable.
Personnel assigned to their normal work schedule may be off-duty for a variety of reasons, which may include vacation, sick, family sick leave, industrial disability injuries, or training. When an individual is on one of these types of leave, his/her position on the Fire Apparatus must be back-filled with overtime personnel in order to maintain a daily operational staff of 17 personnel. These overtime costs for backfilling a position on the Fire Apparatus are charged to the Fire Department's overtime fund account, 2310-61430.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
The Police Department is in critical need of infrastructure repairs. Those repairs are inclusive of a new roof and slip resistant flooring in the interior of the building. Additionally, in the investigations unit, a need has been identified to upgrade the storage capabilities for digital evidence that is collected during criminal investigations and to enhance the capability to extract evidence from digital devices. In order to address the data extraction, the City's contract with Cellebrite needs to be extended.
Analysis:
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Fire Department's budget, including the overtime budget, is established and approved at the beginning of each fiscal year, which may be amended throughout the year due to unforeseen circumstances. The following are the overtime budget amounts and end-of-year actuals for the fund account, 2310-61430 (overtime-regular):
Budget Year Budget Amount End of Year Actual
• Fiscal Year 23/24: $972,610.00 Anticipated projection $1,947,676.73 • Fiscal Year 22/23: $1,675,011.00 $1,671,363.77
• Fiscal Year 21/22: $1,197,200.00 $1,807,697.73
• Fiscal Year 20/21: $904,437.00 $1,839,344.51
• Fiscal Year 19/20: $901,399.00 $1,387,718.72
The anticipated end of year actual for Fiscal Year 2023/2024, is due to an unanticipated and abnormally large increase in industrial disability injuries (Workers Comp) and Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) usage. During the first six and half months of this fiscal year, the Yuba City Fire Department had ten individuals on leave due to industrial disability injury, totaling 6,925.75 hours of leave. This resulted in approximately $420,204.38 to hire back-fill overtime to replace those injured personnel.
During the calendar year 2023, Fire Department operation staff had fifteen babies, which resulted in personnel utilizing FMLA leave. During the first six and half months of this Fiscal Year, the Yuba City Fire Department had eight individuals on FMLA leave, totaling 1,584 hours of leave. This resulted in
approximately $91,270.56 to hire back-fill overtime to replace those on FMLA leave.
The total approximate overtime for hiring for industrial disability injuries and FMLA leave is $511,474.94. These leave usages are anticipated to be utilized for the remainder of the fiscal year. In addition, to the leave usage referenced above, the Fire Department is obligated to perform back-fill overtime for personnel on normal vacation and sick leave usage. As a result, staff has determined that the anticipated final projection of overtime will result in an approximate balance of $1,947,676.73. In an effort to maintain transparency and to meet the budget, the Fire Department will need an additional $975,067 to accomplish that objective.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Cloud-Based Digital Storage
The Investigations Unit has the need to transition to cloud based storage due to the rapidly evolving digital world. Cloud-based digital storage is a solution to not only the physical storage of discs and physical drives, but also to prevent the possible loss of digital evidence on those drives through the natural deterioration of the drive. Cloud Based Digital Storage is stored in secure locations protected from natural disasters, accidents, or cyber-attacks. In order for a cloud-based digital storage system to be effective for Law Enforcement, it needs to track audit trails, and provide ease of discovery or disbursement. An additional demand is the security of the data that is stored. One such product is provided by Axon Enterprises, Inc. The Police Department already contracts with Axon Enterprises for body worn cameras, vehicle mounted cameras, and tasers. This unlimited storage option will also assist patrol personnel, as victims of crimes in the community will be able to upload larger video files to the system. The cost based on a recent active quote is approximately $68,500.00 for 3 years of unlimited cloud-based storage.
Cellebrite Phone Analyzer
A primary investigative tool is digital evidence contained in cell phones. The current cell phone analyzer version being utilized by our Investigations unit needs to be upgraded as it is becoming obsolete. The company will force the upgrade in the near future. Currently it takes two separate computer processes for one phone to be forensically downloaded and viewable. The upgrade combines those processes into one allowing for quicker turn-around time for phone extractions. It is not uncommon for technicians (two of our detectives) to have more than 10 phones that are in line to be processed. One phone could take up to one work-day to process completely. This pulls a detective from normal case-work to focus on cell phone processing. The cost is based on a recent active quote from Cellebrite, is approximately $32,000.00 for 4 years of licensing.
Police Department Roof Repair
Facilities Maintenance staff have been attempting to fix leaks in the roof throughout the entire police facility, and all they are able to do is continue to patch the leaks. Staff is recommending having an elastomeric roof system installed, this is the exact roof system that has been installed at several other city facilities that had issues with roof leaks. This system has proven to be very effective in prolonging the roofs at other facilities within the City. During the hot summer days, it reflects the heat from the building which helps keep the building cool. Since being installed at other facilities those facilities have not experienced further roof leaks. The estimated cost for this project is $70,000.
Police Department Flooring
Facilities Maintenance staff have identified the need to have the concrete floors in the common areas of the police department to be grinded down and have a polyurea based coating with polyaspartic topcoat applied. The concrete floor is in poor condition, there is cracking throughout the entire building, and the coating has deteriorated. The shine is gone, and it can become slippery because there is no slip-resistant coating left on the flooring due to the age of the flooring. The new flooring surface that staff recommends installing will bring back finish to the concrete and improve safety for employees who
are in and out of the building day and night.
This flooring would also be applied to the to the main lobby and the west wing of the building. There are currently three different types of flooring just in the west wing and main lobby. The tile is slippery, the carpet is old and difficult to maintain in a sanitary condition. The west portion of the lobby has VCT tile that has ripples caused from the moisture of the concrete. The approximate cost of this repair is $36,000.
We are not requesting a budget increase to the FY 23-24 Police Department budget. We are requesting authorization to overspend the following accounts in the amount of $196,500.00:
2120-63601 (Building Maintenance)
2130-62701 (Investigations Technology)
This amount will be covered by salary savings from FY 23-24.
Fiscal Impact:
Fire Department - The requested budget adjustment will impact salary savings in the General Fund in the amount of $975,067.
Police Department - Overspend accounts 2120-63601 and 2130-62701 in the amount of $196,500 and offset this amount with salary savings. No additional General Fund dollars are needed to accomplish these tasks.
Alternatives:
1. Modify the recommended amount of salary savings from the General Fund.
2. Direct staff to pursue other options for maintaining budget requirements.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Finance Director to make a supplemental appropriation and related transfers for the items noted below:
Fire Department - $927,067 to account 2310-61430, utilizing projected salary savings within the General Fund, 100. Should this projected salary savings not materialize, authorize the Finance Director to transfer up to $975,067 from unallocated General Fund CIP.

$130,000 - Account No. 901222 (Annual Playground Replacement) $50,000 - Account No. 901298 (Town Center Fountain)
$78,940.76 - Account No. 901259 (Well Installations & Upgrades) Purpose:
To maintain and enhance the City's quality of life through safe parks and promote healthy opportunities for residents of all ages.
Council's Strategic Goal:
Improving infrastructure and improving the quality of life for our community.
Background:
As part of the comprehensive operation and maintenance of the City’s recreation facilities, staff routinely inspect and evaluate the safety and functionality of the equipment at each of the City’s 16 parks that have play structures. Recommendation for equipment replacement is based on age, condition, industry standards, and regulatory compliance. The playground equipment at Shanghai Garden Park has been
identified for replacement based on these areas of evaluation. The lifespan of play equipment is typically 15- 20 years. The Shanghai Garden Park playground is currently 24 years old.
At the August 15, 2023 City Council Meeting, two residents from the Shanghai Park neighborhood spoke about how multiple pieces of playground equipment are damaged, worn out and are unsafe. Staff was directed to develop options and bring them to Council for consideration.
Analysis:
Staff inspected and evaluated the playground equipment at Shanghai Garden Park in order to identify the current safety and risk factors. Based on the extent of damage, staff came up with options to provide a safer environment for the residents utilizing the equipment. At the September 19, 2023 Council Meeting, Council recommended moving forward with removing the 5-12 aged playground immediately and reallocating funds to cover the cost of purchasing a new playground.
On November 28, 2023 Parks staff held a Community Meeting where they presented four different playground options for replacement. The residents of Shanghai Garden Park area voted on which option they preferred. The most popular option was that which was provided by BCI Burke Company (Burke). On January 22, 2024, Parks staff presented the playground options to the Parks & Recreation Commission.
The Parks & Recreation Commission also chose Burke’s option as their preferred option. In order to expedite the procurement process, staff recommends utilizing the Sourcewell Cooperative Program (Sourcewell).
Sourcewell gathers nationwide bids for products and services resulting in time and cost efficiencies through the procurement process, and better purchasing leverage due to a nationwide scope. The City has utilized Sourcewell on various occasions in recent years for purchases and construction contracts, with great results. Some of these include: purchase and installation of playground equipment, the design/build contract for the bike park at Didar S. Bains Park, the Blackburn Talley LED Stadium Lighting Retrofit, and the storm drain installation for Didar S. Bains Park.
Fiscal Impact:
Burke’s Sourcewell Contract is $258,940.76 for the proposed scope of work. The project is proposed to be funded primarily through CIP Account No. 901222 (Annual Playground Replacement). Currently the Account has a balance of $130,000, which is $128,940.76 less than what is needed to construct the project. To fund a portion of the shortfall, staff reviewed the Community Service’s list of CIP projects to determine if any projects have available funding that is not immediately needed. Staff determined that there are available funds in CIP Account No. 901298: Town Center Fountain and CIP Account No. 901259: Well Installations & Upgrades.
The Town Center Fountain restoration project is not projected to be completed in the near future, and its account has a current balance of $72,333.64. Staff recommends performing a budget transfer in the amount of $50,000.00 from account number 901298-65501 (Town Center Fountain) to account number 901222- 65501 (Annual Playground Replacement).
Lastly, the Well Installations & Upgrades project is not projected to be completed in the near future, and its account has a balance of $171,327.07. Staff recommends performing a budget transfer in the amount of $78,940.76 from account number 901259-65501 (Well Installations & Upgrades) to account number 901222-65501 (Annual Playground Replacement) to fund the remainder of the Project's shortfall.
Environmental Determination:
Staff has performed a preliminary environmental assessment of this project and determined that it falls within a Class 2 Categorical Exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15302, as the Project’s scope consists of the replacement of the existing playground structures with new structures of substantially the
same size, purpose, and capacity. Further, none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines 15302 apply to this Project.
Alternatives:
Do not award the Sourcewell Contract to BCI Burke Company and utilize the standard formal bidding procedures. This will result in Project delays.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution which takes the following actions:
A. Adopts a CEQA Class 2 Categorical Exemption
B. Awards a construction contract to BCI Burke Company in the amount of $258,940.76 through Sourcewell Contract No. 010521-BUR, with the finding that it is in the best interest of the City C. Authorizes the City Manager to execute all necessary documents related to the project D. Authorizes the Finance Director to make the budget transfers necessary to fund the Shanghai Garden Park Playground Replacement Project

Public Hearing No. 5 for Updating of City Councilmember District Boundaries for Annexed Property
Recommendation: A. Conduct a Public Hearing to receive public input on district boundaries to account for property annexed to the City; and
B. Select a preferred updated district boundary map
Fiscal Impact: None
Purpose:
To receive a report on the districting process for annexed property and permissible criteria to be considered to modify district boundaries, conduct a Public Hearing to receive public input on district boundaries, and select a preferred map for updated Council district boundaries.
Council's Strategic Goal:
Including recently annexed areas into the City Council District Boundaries addresses the City Council's overarching goal of quality of life.
Background:
Prior to the November 2022 election, City Councilmembers were elected at-large in which every voter in the City voted for each member of Council, regardless of where the voter or the candidate is registered to vote in the City. Under a district-based system of elections, the City is divided into districts, candidates may only run for the seat representing the district in which they are registered to vote, and voters may only vote for a candidate from their district. One of the reasons for the transition is that district elections are consistent with the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA), which encourages district elections for communities with a significant population of minority groups.
Between September 21, 2021, and February 1, 2022, the City Council held five public hearings to establish a District-Based System of Elections for members of the City Council. On February 1, 2022,
City Council adopted an Ordinance adding Sections 2-9.04, 2-9.05, and 2-9.06 to Chapter 2, Title 9 of the Yuba City Municipal Code to establish a District-Based System of Elections for members of the City Council. The Ordinance is based on the National Demographics Corporation (NDC) Green Map (NDC Green Map), which is based on data from the 2020 census, and includes election sequencing to transition to a District-Based System of Elections.
Since the adoption of the current boundary maps, there have been significant annexations in the southwest and southern portions of Yuba City, adjacent to Council Districts 4 and 5. The annexed areas are currently primarily vacant agricultural land. The Council District Boundary Maps need to be modified to incorporate the annexed areas and be adopted prior to April 2024.
On November 7, 2023, a Public Hearing was held to receive input from the community regarding updating the District Boundaries to include annexed properties. One member of the public spoke and recommended that the boundaries for Districts 4 and 5 be split at Highway 99. There was no public comment at the Public Hearings held on December 19, 2023, January 16, 2024, and February 6, 2024.
Analysis:
Process
The City Council typically chooses where the district lines will be drawn every 10 years based on the latest U.S. Census. Between these regular 10-year updates, changes to district boundaries are typically not allowed under the Elections Code. However, there is an exception to circumstances here, as new territory has been annexed into the City and the total annexed territory contains less than 25% of the City's population. In such cases, the City Council may update the district boundaries to allow for the new members of the community to vote in City elections, etc.
State laws set strict criteria for the update of the district boundaries in such circumstances. Specifically, the City Council is required to add the new territory "to the nearest existing Council district without changing the boundaries of other Council district boundaries." Even though the criteria for setting the boundaries for annexed property is constrained by State law, the default procedures for redistricting boundaries still apply. Under these procedures, the public will have the opportunity to draw and submit district maps for Council's consideration, and the City may develop its own maps for consideration. By law, the City must hold at least five public hearings that enable community members to provide input on the drawing of district maps:
• One Public Hearing was held on November 7, 2023, to invite public input regarding the composition of the City's voting districts before any draft maps are drawn. • Three Public Hearings were held on December 19, 2023, January 16, 2024, and February 6, 2024, to invite public input regarding the composition of the City's proposed modifications to the voting districts based on the attached draft map.
• The final Public Hearing will be held this evening to invite public input regarding the composition of the City's proposed modifications to the voting districts based on the attached draft map.
The Council will select a preferred updated district boundary map. • Immediately after the final Public Hearing, an ordinance will then be separately presented for introduction to the City Council establishing a map with modified voting division boundaries at this evening's meeting. The ordinance will then be presented for final adoption on March 5, 2024.
Mandatory Criteria for Creating Districts
While public input concerning the composition of the City's voting divisions will be considered, as noted above there are several mandatory criteria that the City must comply with when the actual divisions are created:
1. Any annexed property must be added to the nearest existing Council district; and
2. No other changes to existing Council districts can occur.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to modifying the boundaries other than staff time to prepare the necessary staff reports and modify the district boundary maps.
Alternatives:
Decline to hold a Public Hearing at this time.
Recommendation:
A. Conduct a Public Hearing to receive public input on district boundaries to account for property annexed to the City; and
B. Select a preferred updated district boundary map.

Agenda Item 17
CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: February 20, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Administration Department
Presentation By: Diana Langley, City Manager
Summary
Subject: Adoption of updated District Boundaries to include property annexed into the City Recommendation: Introduce, by title only, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Yuba City amending Section 2-9.05 of the Yuba City Municipal Code and adopting revised district boundaries, and waive the first reading
Fiscal Impact: None
Purpose:
The City Council has held five public hearings to receive public input on district boundaries to account for property annexed to the City. To complete this process, and to allow for members of the public residing in the annexed territory to participate in local elections, an ordinance is being introduced to allow for updating of District boundaries.
Council's Strategic Goal:
Including recently annexed areas into the City Council District Boundaries addresses the City Council's overarching goal of quality of life.
Background:
As explained in greater detail in the prior Agenda item, every 10 years Election Code section 2160 requires cities with by-district election systems to redraw their district boundary maps to ensure compliance with the California and federal Voting Rights Acts. This process, called redistricting, ensures that all districts have a nearly equal population. The City adopted its current district boundaries in 2022 based on 2020 consensus data as required by law.
Since the adoption of the current boundary maps, there has been significant annexations in the southern portion of the City, adjacent to Council Districts 4 and 5. The annexed areas are currently predominantly agricultural land with several homes. While the areas are in the City, they are not within a Council district, thus the Council District Boundary Map must be modified to incorporate the annexed areas.
Analysis:
State laws set strict criteria for the updates of the district boundaries in such circumstances.
Specifically, the City Council is required to add the new territory "to the nearest existing Council district” without changing the boundaries of other Council district boundaries. As a result, the City’s discretion is limited regarding the present annexation.
Over the period of several months, the City has held five public hearings to receive public comment as required by the Elections Code. The next step is to amend the City’s Municipal Code to formally add the annexed territory. This is done by first introducing the ordinance, and then approving the ordinance at a subsequent regular meeting of the Council, which is currently proposed for March 5, 2024. As Districts 4 and 5 are the “nearest existing Council districts” to the annexed property, the ordinance proposes to add the annexed territories to Districts 4 and 5 consistent with the mandatory requirements of State law.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to modifying the boundaries other than staff time to prepare the necessary staff reports and modify the district boundary maps.
Alternatives:
Decline to introduce the Ordinance at this time or continue the matter to a future meeting.
Recommendation:
Introduce, by title only, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Yuba City amending Section 2-
9.05 of the Yuba City Municipal Code and adopting revised district boundaries, and waive the first reading.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: February 20, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Administration Department
Presentation By: Ciara Wakefield, City Clerk Administrator Summary
Subject: Community Sponsorship Request - Playzeum
Recommendation: Consider the sponsorship request from Playzeum, and if approved:
Adopt a Resolution approving the sponsorship request from Playzeum Fiscal Impact: Monetary sponsorship in the amount of $2,000.00 (Account 4220-66015) Estimated costs associated with staff time for the event: $1,816.62
Council's Strategic Goal:
This item addresses City Council's overarching strategic goal of "Quality of Life." Purpose:
City sponsorships reflect support of specific programs or events by an organization. The intent is that the public will receive some intrinsic cultural, economic, educational, or entertainment value from the program or event.
Background:
On January 18, 2022, Council adopted an Amended Community Sponsorship Policy which specifies the following factors that will be considered during the approval process:
• The City Council will approve all monetary sponsorship requests at a public meeting • Resources available (e.g., budget, staff, workload capacity, etc.) • Compatibility with the strategic goals of the City Council and the mission of Yuba City • Impact of an event on City Facilities
• Risk to the City
• The ability of the organization to obtain liability insurance naming the City as an additional insured • The overall benefit to the community
In February 2024, a sponsorship request was received from:
Playzeum
Playzeum's mission is to provide our local community with programs, services and hands-on play exhibits where all children, families and community members of diverse backgrounds and abilities can explore, discover, create and learn together. Their annual Touch-a-Truck event provides an opportunity for more than 3,500 residents to get up close with a variety of vehicles including a helicopter, garbage truck, concrete mixer, and tow truck just to name a few.
As part of the Touch-a-Truck event scheduled for April 13, 2024, Playzeum has requested a monetary sponsorship up to $2,000.00 and in-kind services including the participation of any available City service vehicles including but not limited to a Fire Engine and Public Works/Parks/Police vehicles. In previous years, the City has provided in-kind support for this event.
Analysis:
A monetary sponsorship of up to $2,000.00 would utilize the City's dedicated sponsorship accounts:

Description Budget Amount Account
Balance
4220-66010 Community
Contributions
$20,000 $12,000.00
4220-66015 Community Events $10,000 $9,000.00
The budgeted funds are to be considered and allocated quarterly, which provides $3,750 quarterly for Community Contributions and $2,500 quarterly for Community Events. If approved, in-kind costs would apply to relevant department budgets.
Fiscal Impact:
Monetary sponsorship in the amount of $2,000.00 (Account 4220-66015) Estimated costs associated with staff time for the event: $1,816.62 Alternatives:
1. Do not authorize a $2,000.00 monetary sponsorship and approve the in-kind contribution of equipment and staffing.
2. Do not approve the community sponsorship request.
Recommendation:
Consider the sponsorship request from Playzeum, and if approved:
Adopt a Resolution approving the sponsorship request from Playzeum.
