alcohol to minors within our community and to ensure that licensed establishments operate in accordance with the law.

This grant will enable the department to conduct several proactive enforcement operations focused on alcohol-related violations. These include minor decoy operations, which identify and address businesses that sell alcohol to underage individuals; shoulder-tap operations, which target adults who purchase alcohol for minors; and business compliance checks, which ensure adherence to Alcohol Beverage Control regulations. In addition to enforcement, the department will also emphasize community education and awareness about the dangers of underage drinking and the responsibility of alcohol license holders.

Through these focused efforts, the Yuba City Police Department seeks to reduce youth access to alcohol, promote public safety, and strengthen partnerships with local businesses and community members. The Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) has designed this program and its funding to supplement, rather than replace, regular police operations, thereby expanding our capacity to address alcohol-related issues and improving the overall quality of life within the community.

Fiscal Impact:

The City will be reimbursed $30,000 from the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC). No matching funds are required for this grant. Funds will be drawn down through Account No. 2140-61450 ($30,000) for personnel overtime costs for direct costs associated with the grant.

Also, the offsetting revenue ($30,000) to 100-43495 that will be reimbursed to the City through grant invoicing.

Alternatives:

Do not accept the grant and / or direct staff to research alternatives.

Recommendation:

A. Adopt a resolution authorizing the Chief of Police to accept $30,000 in grant funding from the 2025/2026 Alcohol Policing Partnership (APP) Program Grant from the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control and approve expenditure recommendations B. Authorize a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $30,000 to Account No. 2140-61450.

Purpose:

Page 178 of 303 ends

To enhance water resources by securing groundwater access at the Water Treatment Plant and sustaining aquifers through recharge during periods of abundance.

Council’s Strategic Goals:

The project addresses the City Council’s Strategic Goal of Improving the City’s Infrastructure.

Background:

The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has awarded the City a $6,325,000 grant for the construction of a new municipal well with Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) capabilities through the Urban and Multibenefit Drought Relief Grant program (Grant Program). ASR wells are two-way systems that allow water to be injected from the surface into a groundwater aquifer and extracted from the groundwater aquifer to the surface.

On July 18, 2023, City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers for environmental documentation, permitting, and engineering services for the ASR Well Project.

To properly design the well’s above-ground facilities, the project is being completed in two phases, below-ground (Phase 1) and above-ground (Phase 2), similar to the Second Groundwater Well project.

Phase 1 has been completed and involved drilling approximately 500 feet below ground and installing below ground equipment, such as well casing and filter pack. Phase 2 involves construction of aboveground facilities including a concrete pad, shade structure, piping, a pump and motor, and electrical equipment.

The project has faced significant funding and schedule challenges since its inception. The initial engineer’s estimate provided in June, 2024 indicated a total construction cost of about $11.1 million, far exceeding the $4.15 million in grant funding available for the construction phase. In response, staff worked with Carollo to value engineer the project and substantially scale back the design, which resulted in a revised construction cost estimate of $7.9 million. The Phase 1 construction experienced delays due to material shortages, which in turn delayed the completion of the Phase 2 design. Staff further anticipate long lead times for electrical equipment required to construct Phase 2.

The Grant Program has a hard deadline to complete projects and spend funds by March 31, 2026, and DWR will not extend that deadline. As a result, staff coordinated with DWR and Carollo to split Phase 2 into two different subphases: Interim Recharge Phase (2.1) and Extraction Equipping Phase (2.2). This is anticipated to help maximize grant eligibility and reimbursement within the grant’s deadlines and manage schedule risks with more flexibility.

The Interim Recharge Phase will construct just the infrastructure necessary to allow the well to inject potable water into the groundwater aquifer. This phase will utilize most of the remaining grant funds available for construction. The schedule is aggressive, but staff and Carollo believe it is possible to construct this phase prior to the DWR grant deadline.

The Extraction Equipping Phase consists primarily of long lead time equipment and construction of the remaining facilities necessary for the well to have extraction capabilities. This phase is not required to be completed prior to the DWR grant deadline.

Analysis:

The Well Equipping phase (Phase 2) of the Aquifer Storage and Recovery Well No. 3 Project was

Page 179 of 303 ends

advertised for bids beginning October 8, 2025. Plans and Specifications were posted on Public Purchase. The specifications contained a Base Bid Schedule that is inclusive of both subphases and an Alternate Bid Schedule that includes just the Interim Recharge Phase. On November 5, 2025 seven (7) bids were received and opened by the City Clerk. A list of the bids received for each bid schedule and the Engineer’s Estimate are shown below:

Company Base Bid Schedule Amount
Engineer’s Estimate $7,500,000.00
TNT Industrial Contractors, Inc. $7,250,000.00
Steve P. Rados, Inc. $5,666,400.00
Myers & Sons Construction, LLC. $6,180,000.00
Lorang Brothers Construction, LLC. $5,555,532.00
Auburn Constructors, LLC. $5,603,300.00
W.M. Lyles Co. $5,304,500.00
Syblon Reid General Engineering Contractors $4,978,450.00 Company Alternate Bid Schedule Amount
Engineer’s Estimate $1,600,000.00
TNT Industrial Contractors, Inc. $1,670,000.00
Steve P. Rados, Inc. NO BID
Myers & Sons Construction, LLC. $1,416,000.00
Lorang Brothers Construction, LLC. $790,164.00
Auburn Constructors, LLC. $1,035,000.00
W.M. Lyles Co. $636,500.00
Syblon Reid General Engineering Contractors $695,448.00 Syblon Reid submitted the apparent low bid; however, Section 00100, 18.0 Work Percentages of the Bid and Contract Documents requires that the prime contractor perform a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the Contract Total Base Bid Amount with its own forces. The Contract further states that the self-performance requirement is a material term of the Contract and is not subject to waiver or adjustment after bid opening.

Work Percentage Requirements:

Syblon Reid’s required Section 00430 Designation of Subcontractors form identifies subcontractors performing 52.13% of the total bid value. This leaves up to 47.87% of the work to be performed by the prime contractor, which is below the minimum 50% self-performance requirement. Following bid opening, Syblon Reid acknowledged this condition and indicated that scope and procurement assignments could be adjusted to increase the self-performed portion of work. However, under the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (Public Contract Code §4100 et seq.), subcontractor participation may not be revised after bid opening, except under limited statutory substitution circumstances that do not apply here. Public bidding law requires that the City evaluate bids as submitted to maintain the fairness and integrity of the competitive bidding process.

Since the self-performance requirement is a material contract requirement, the City must treat Syblon Reid’s bid as non-responsive. Therefore, Syblon Reid’s bid is hereby rejected in accordance with the Contract Documents and applicable provisions of the Public Contract Code. The second low bidder, W.M. Lyles Co., listed 47.1% subcontracted work and 52.9% self-performance, thereby meeting the self-performance requirement. W.M. Lyles has been evaluated and found to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Accordingly, staff recommends rejecting the bid submitted by Syblon Reid as non-responsive and

Page 180 of 303 ends

awarding the contract to W.M. Lyles, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Award Options:

The options to move the project forward are 1. Provide additional Water Funds and award the Base Bid, or 2. Reject the Base Bid and Award the Alternate Bid Schedule. Staff recommends awarding the Base Bid Schedule to W.M. Lyles Co. of Rocklin, CA is the low, responsible, and responsive bidder for the Base Bid Schedule.

Construction Management and Inspection:

Construction of the Base Schedule involves time-sensitive and complex construction activities that require full-time inspection to minimize construction delays and represent the City against potential construction claims. The inspection needs of this project exceed City staffing levels, especially considering all of the other planned capital improvement, development projects, and encroachment permits.

Staff requested a proposal from Inferrera Construction Management Group, Inc. (ICM) to provide construction management and inspection services for the project. ICM is highly qualified and has a proven track record of providing inspection services on large and complex utility projects, including the City’s Second Groundwater Well Project, WWTF Improvements Project, Lift Station 2 Improvements Project, Garden Highway Trunk Line Rehabilitation Project, and Bogue Road Sewer Extension Project.

Additionally, ICM is extremely familiar with the City’s infrastructure, has been the selected consultant through traditional requests for proposals in the past, and its billing rates are competitive with the industry. Staff recommend entering into a Professional Services Agreement with ICM in the amount of $229,937 which includes a 15% contingency ($199,945 + $29,992) to account for potential extra work due to time-sensitive work requiring overtime. The City will be billed for actual costs.

Labor Compliance:

Staff recommends contracting with the City’s approved professional labor compliance consultant, The Solis Group, for labor compliance services in order to comply with DWR funding terms, in the amount of $47,300, to cover additional contract extensions as required during construction.

Contract administration will be performed by Public Works Department staff.

Fiscal Impact:

The total construction cost for the Base Bid Schedule for Phase 2 of the project is approximately $6,172,187, which consists of the following components:

Construction Contract: $5,304,500
Construction Contingency (10%): $530,450
Construction Management and Inspection: $229,937
Labor Compliance $47,300
City Administration (1%) $60,000
Total: $6,172,187
The project will be funded through CIP Account No. 1320-65501 (Aquifer Storage Recovery Well).

Currently, this account has a balance of $6.3 million consisting of $2.5 million in DWR grant funds and $3.8 million in local Water Funds. The Interim Recharge Phase portion of the project is estimated to require up to $536,991 to complete. Therefore, nearly $2 million of the current account balance is unavailable because it consists of grant funds that will unfortunately go unused.

The Extraction Equipping Phase of the project is estimated to require up to $5,635,196 to complete with $3.8 million in local Water Funds available. To fully fund the Extraction Equipping Phase, staff reviewed

Page 181 of 303 ends

various fund and CIP Account balances to determine if any funding is available to transfer into CIP Account No. 971320-65501. Staff recommends the following transfers:

Fund/CIP Account Name Available Recommended
Transfer
517 Unallocated Water
Reserve Fund
$1,335,474.61 $325,000
971098 Capitalization Fund $775,000 $575,000
971224 WTP Electrical and
Instrumentation
Improvements
$4,293,083.35 $1,000,000
Total $1,900,000
Staff is therefore requesting authorization for the Finance Director to make supplemental appropriations and budget transfers using Unallocated Water Funds, CIP Account No. 971098 (Capitalization Fund), and CIP Account No. 971224 (WTP Electrical & Instrumentation) totaling $1,900,000 to CIP Account No. 971320-65501. Any unused funds will be returned to unallocated Water Funds at closeout of the project.

Environmental:

A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) (SCH # 2024120737) was previously prepared and adopted for this project. There have been no substantial changes or other factors affecting the validity of the MND. As a result, no further environmental analysis is required by the California Environmental Quality Act.

Alternatives:

1. Award the Alternate Bid Schedule work to W.M. Lyles Co. in the amount of $636,500, plus a 10% contingency.

2. Do not award the Professional Services Agreement to the ICM Group, Inc. and provide directions to staff for procuring the needed construction inspection services.

3. Rejecting bids is not a reasonable option as it would result in the City having to repay approximately $3,800,000 in grant funds previously received for the design and construction performed to date.

Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution which takes the following actions:

A. Rejects the bid submitted by Syblon Reid as non-responsive for failure to comply with the minimum fifty percent (50%) self-performance requirement specified in Section 00100, 18.0 of the Contract Documents.

B. Awards a construction contract to W.M. Lyles Co. of Rocklin, CA in the amount of their total bid of $5,304,500 for the Base Bid Schedule and authorizes the City Manager to execute the contract on behalf of the City, subject to review and approval as to legal form by the City Attorney.

C. Awards a Professional Services Agreement to ICM Group, Inc. of Folsom, CA for Construction Management and Inspection Services during construction in the amount of $229,937, subject to material terms, with the finding that it is in the best interest of the City.

D. Awards a Professional Services Agreement to The Solis Group of Pasadena, CA for Labor

Page 182 of 303 ends

Compliance Services in the amount of $47,300, subject to material terms, with the finding it’s in the best interest of the City.

E. Authorizes the Finance Director to make supplemental appropriations and budget transfers totaling $1,900,000 from Unallocated Water Funds, CIP Account No. 971098 (Capitalization Fund), and CIP Account No. 971224 (WTP Electrical & Instrumentation) to CIP Account No. 971320 (ASR System).

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Yuba City as follows:

1. The City Council finds that all of the facts set forth in the recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein.

2. The City Council previously prepared and certified an MND for the project. The MND identified the construction of a groundwater well on the project site. The award of a construction contract to effectuate the same does not change the environmental assessment of the MND. Further, the City Council further finds that no subsequent review is required under CEQA Guidelines section 15162 as since the time of adoption of the MND no substantial changes have been proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previously adopted MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects. Likewise, no substantial changes have occurred since that time with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects. There is also no new information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time of the adoption of the MND that the project will have significant effect not discussed in the MND. As such, the City Council finds the construction of second phase of the WTP Aquifer Storage and Recovery Well No. 3 Project has already been fully assessed in accordance with CEQA, no

Page 187 of 303 ends

subsequent review is required under CEQA Guidelines section 15162, and no further action or review is required under CEQA.

3. The City Council finds that based on the findings set forth above, the bid submitted by Syblon Reid is hereby rejected as non-responsive for failure to meet the minimum fifty percent (50%) self-performance requirement specified in Section 00100, 18.0 of the Bid and Contract Documents, and

4. The City Council of the City of Yuba City does hereby accept the other six (6) Base Bid Schedule bids received as noted in the Recitals above, finds that W.M. Lyles Co. is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the Base Bid Schedule, and awards the Construction Contract Agreement to W.M. Lyles Co. in the amount of its total Base Bid Schedule bid of $5,304,500.00 for the second phase of the WTP Aquifer Storage and Recovery Well No. 3 Project, subject to material terms.

Said contract agreement shall substantially comply with the terms and conditions presented in the draft agreement attached to this Resolution, shall be subject to review and approval as to legal form by the City Attorney, and the City Manager shall be authorized to execute the same on behalf of the City of Yuba City.

5. The City Council of the City of Yuba City awards a professional services agreement for construction inspection services to Inferrera Construction Management Group, Inc. in the amount of $229,937. Said agreement shall substantially comply with the terms and conditions presented in the draft agreement attached to this Resolution, shall be subjected to review and approval as to legal form by the City Attorney, and the City Manager shall be authorized to execute the same on behalf of the City of Yuba City.

6. The City Council of the City of Yuba City awards a professional services agreement for labor compliance services to The Solis Group in the amount of $47,300. Said agreement shall substantially comply with the terms and conditions presented in the draft agreement attached to this Resolution, shall be subjected to review and approval as to legal form by the City Attorney, and the City Manager shall be authorized to execute the same on behalf of the City of Yuba City.

7. The City Council of the City of Yuba City does hereby authorize the Finance Director to make supplemental appropriations totaling $1,900,000 from unallocated Water Funds, CIP Account No. 971098 (Capitalization Fund), and CIP Account No. 971224 (WTP Electrical & Instrumentation) to CIP Account No. 971320 (Aquifer Storage Recovery System).

8. This Resolution shall become effective immediately.

The foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the City Council of the City of Yuba City at a regular meeting thereof held on the 18th day of November 2025.

Agenda Item 18

CITY OF YUBA CITY

STAFF REPORT
Date: November 18, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Utilities Department
Presentation By: Phil Marler, Utilities Director
Summary
Subject: Utilities Department Vacancy Staffing Request – Wastewater Collections Maintenance Worker I/II
Recommendation: Authorize the Interim Human Resources Director to fill the vacancy for a full-time permanent Wastewater Collections Maintenance Worker I/II in the Utilities Department.

Fiscal Impact: Sufficient funding allocated in Account No. 8110 (Wastewater Collections Maintenance)
Purpose:

To fill a vacant Wastewater Collections Maintenance Worker I/II position in the Utilities Department to maintain adequate staffing levels needed to safely, reliably, and efficiently operate the City’s critical sewer collection system infrastructure.

Council’s Strategic Goal:

This item addresses Council’s strategic goals of Public Safety and Infrastructure by maintaining adequate, skilled staffing to safeguard the Wastewater Collection system throughout the City’s facilities, ensuring system reliability, worker safety, and regulatory compliance.

Background:

The Utilities Department’s Wastewater Collections Maintenance Division plays a vital role in maintaining the City’s underground wastewater collection system infrastructure. The division is responsible for installing, inspecting, maintaining, and repairing the system’s underground components located throughout the city, including residential areas such as Stonegate Village, around the wastewater treatment plant, and at other public locations. Their work ensures the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of the City’s sewer systems, including lift stations and automated controls, which are essential to maintaining public health and safety.

The Wastewater Collections Division is staffed by a team of Six (6) flexibly staffed Wastewater Collections Maintenance workers and supervised by the Wastewater Collections Supervisor. One Wastewater Collection Maintenance III retired in September 2025, leaving a vacancy in this critical classification.

Page 228 of 303 ends

Analysis:

City Council has implemented a hard hiring freeze as a budgetary control measure, effective September 1, 2025. In order for the Human Resources Department to conduct recruitment for a vacancy, both the City Manager and City Council must approve the request from the working department on a case-by-case basis.

The Utilities Department believes that filling this position is essential to maintaining reliable operations and ensuring the safe functioning of the City’s wastewater collection system, which is vital to protecting public health and safety. The Department recommends filling the vacancy at the Wastewater Collections Maintenance Worker I/II level, which is the entry level in the classification series. Hiring at this level, rather than at the higher Worker III level, will allow the Department to maintain necessary operational capacity while demonstrating fiscal responsibility and complying with the City’s current hiring freeze constraints.

The City Manager approved this request from the Department in October 2025, making it eligible for final Council approval.

Fiscal Impact:

This position is fully funded in the Fiscal Year 25/26 Wastewater Collections Maintenance operating budget. Funding is provided through wastewater enterprise funds with no impact on the General Fund.

Alternatives:

Direct the Department to leave the position vacant and continue to utilize staff overtime to maintain adequate staff coverage. This is not a sustainable alternative due to the strain on the remaining employees and supervisors.

Recommendation:

Authorize the Interim Human Resources Director to fill the vacancy for a full-time permanent Wastewater Collections Maintenance Worker I/II in the Utilities Department.

Agenda Item 19

CITY OF YUBA CITY

STAFF REPORT
Date: November 18, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Human Resources Department
Presentation By: Gina Rowland, Interim Human Resources Director Summary
Subject: Development Services Classification Updates
Recommendation:

A. Establishing a new Business Development Liaison classification and adding it to the First Level Managers bargaining unit;
B. Changing the title of the existing Development Manager classification to Business Development Manager in the Mid-Managers unit;
C. Amending the salary schedule to add Business Development Liaison and changing the title of Development Manager to Business Development Manager;
D. Updating the authorized position resolution for Department No. 1910, Planning, to reflect the updated position title of Business Development Manager;
E. Approving a recruitment to fill the full-time Business Development Manager authorized position with a regular, full-time appointment at either the Business Development Liaison or Business Development Manager level; and
F. Authorizing the Interim City Manager and Interim Human Resources Director to execute side letter agreements to update the classification titles represented by the First Level Managers and Mid-Managers units Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact to establish a new Business Development Liaison classification. The Development Manager position is fully funded in the approved budget for FY2025/26. Underfilling the position with a new Business Development Liaison could result in salary savings of approximately $13,000 for the remainder of this fiscal year.

Purpose:

To add a new Business Development Liaison classification to provide the Development Services department flexibility in filling its vacant, funded Development Manager position; to change the title of the classifications to more accurately describe the focus and function of the positions; and to execute side letter agreements to update the classification titles represented by the First Level Manager and Mid-Manager units.

Council's Strategic Goal:

Page 230 of 303 ends

This item addresses the City Council’s Strategic Goal of Business Friendly. The primary focus of the Business Development Liaison and Business Development Manager classifications are to provide direct support to businesses by serving as the central point of contact for project proposals, applications and plans as well as to provide information and advise developers, business owners and the general public on City development procedures and requirements.

Background:

In 2021, the City created a Development Liaison position to support businesses and developers through the planning process and to serve as the City’s representative in partnerships with local businesses and regional government organizations. In November 2024, the position was reclassified to a Development Manager to reflect the increased responsibility for developing, planning, coordinating and managing the City’s economic development program and initiatives regarding business assistance, attraction, retention, and expansion. The former Development Liaison position was deleted when the new Development Manager classification was created.

The Development Manager position was vacated in March of this year, and has remained vacant since that time. The Development Services Department budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26 continues to include funding for a full-time Development Manager as “Business Friendly” remains a Strategic Goal of the City Council.

Analysis:

In order to consider a broad pool of candidates while recruiting to fill this important position, the Development Services department would like to re-establish the former Development Liaison classification with an updated title of Business Development Liaison. Similarly, the department is requesting to change the title of Development Manager to Business Development Manager. These title changes more accurately reflect the function and focus of the classifications which is on business attraction, assistance, facilitation, guidance and coordination with various City, County, and regional partners.

The recommended salary range for Business Development Liaison is the same as the former Development Liaison salary range, and is:

FIVE STEP RANGE:
1 2 3 4 5
$6,950 $7,298 $7,662 $8,045 $8,448 Monthly
$83,400$87,570 $91,949 $96,546 $101,376 Annually

Agenda Item 20

CITY OF YUBA CITY

STAFF REPORT
Date: November 18, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Development Services Department
Presentation By: Doug Libby, Development Services Director Summary
Subject: Merriment Village, Supplemental Loan Agreement Recommendation: Authorize the Mayor of the City of Yuba City to sign a Supplemental Loan Agreement between the City of Yuba City and Habitat for Humanity Yuba/Sutter, Inc. governing the disbursement of grant funds for Phase 1 (79 unit) Merriment Village Apartment project located at 428 North Walton Avenue, Assessor’s Parcel 58-120-001, after a detailed construction budget is provided for Exhibit C, which is subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.

Fiscal Impact: Approve a Supplemental Loan Agreement between the City of Yuba City and Habitat for Humanity Yuba/Sutter, Inc. governing the disbursement of grant funds for Phase 1 (79 unit) Merriment Village Apartment project located at 428 North Walton Avenue, Assessor’s Parcel 58-120-001 as to its material terms, and authorize the Mayor to sign the same after a detailed construction budget is provided for Exhibit C of the Agreement, which is subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.

Purpose:

To consider approving a Supplemental Loan Agreement between the City of Yuba City and Habitat for Humanity Yuba-Sutter Inc. to govern the disbursement of grant funds for Phase 1 of the Merriment Village Apartments project.

Council’s Strategic Goal:

This item meets the City Council’s strategic goals of quality infrastructure (housing), business friendly, and quality of life.

Background:

On September 19, 2023, the City Council approved Development Plan 23-02 for the Merriment Village Apartment project located at 428 North Walton Avenue. The project provides for a 218-unit incomebased apartment complex at 428 North Walton Avenue.

Since project approval, the applicant, Habitat for Humanity, has been working to secure project financing to construct the project.

Page 255 of 303 ends

In 2024, the project received significant funding from the State Department of Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) through a joint application between the City and Habitat in the form of a Homekey 3.0 Grant in the amount of $24,632,331 consisting of $22,632,331 for construction with the remaining amount to be dedicated to operating expenses.

On July 11, 2024, the City entered a Covenant and Loan Agreement with Habitat for Humanity Yuba/Sutter for Phase 1 of the Merriment Village project. This Agreement was recorded as Document Number 2024-0005918 and is attached to this staff report for reference.

On September 16, 2025, the City Council rescinded its approval of Development Plan 23-02, determining the Merriment Village Apartments meets the requirements of a Homekey project and that pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 50675.1.3(i), newly filed Development Plan No. 25-02 is a ministerial project and that pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15268(a) and 15002(i), CEQA does not apply to ministerial projects, and approve Development Plan 25-02, Merriment Village Apartments, for the development of a 218-unit incomebased (affordable) apartment complex, located on a 7.7-acre parcel at 428 North Walton Avenue (Assessor’s Parcel 58-120-001).

Analysis:

The proposed Supplemental Loan Agreement is required to implement the existing Covenant and Loan Agreement with Habitat for Humanity Yuba-Sutter. The proposed agreement defines the conditions for the City to disburse loan (grant) funding by an outside third-party, City approved Disbursement Control agent, that will be paid for by Habitat for Humanity, for project construction. Disbursements will first be made from accrued interest accumulated since the City received the Homekey grant funding.

The proposed agreement defines insurance requirements, representation and warranties, and hazardous materials disclosure requirements.

A detailed construction budget is to be provided as Exhibit C to the Agreement prior to the Agreement being signed by the Mayor.

Additionally, the proposed agreement defines the developer (Habitat for Humanity Yuba-Sutter Inc.) responsibilities including how to reflect expenses incurred, reporting requirements and the agreement addresses circumstances of default and remedies.

The proposed agreement was prepared by the City Attorney’s Office and agreed to by Habitat for Humanity Yuba-Sutter, Inc.

Fiscal Impact:

This project does not have a direct General Fund impact. The City Council previously approved a Funding Commitment letter on May 2, 2023, to contribute $1,787,922 toward the City of Yuba City development fees and $155,000 annually of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Funding for ongoing annual operation costs. From the May 2, 2023, City Council staff report, the City’s contribution is in the form of development fee waivers as follows:

City Fee Fee Estimate
Development Impact Fees $780,147.91
Building Permit Fees $199,594.72
Sewer Connection & Extension Fees $495,956.07
Water Connection Fees $312,223.08

Page 256 of 303 ends

Total Estimated City Fees: $1,787,921.78

Alternatives:

Staff do not see any alternatives available regarding the proposed Supplemental Loan Agreement because this agreement is required to implement the existing Covenant and Loan Agreement by clearly defining the responsibilities and conditions for the disbursement of grant funding.

Recommendations:

Approve a Supplemental Loan Agreement between the City of Yuba City and Habitat for Humanity Yuba/Sutter, Inc. governing the disbursement of grant funds for Phase 1 (79 unit) Merriment Village Apartment project located at 428 North Walton Avenue, Assessor’s Parcel 58-120-001 as to its material terms, and authorize the Mayor to sign the same after a detailed construction budget is provided for Exhibit C of the Agreement, which is subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.

1 SUPPLEMENTAL LOAN AGREEMENT
THIS SUPPLEMENTAL LOAN AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is executed as of _________, 2025, by and between HABITAT FOR HUMANITY YUBA/SUTTER, INC., a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (“Developer”), and the CITY OF YUBA CITY, a municipal corporation (“City”).

RECITALS:

A. On June 6, 2023, Developer acquired that certain unimproved real property consisting of approximately 7.5 acres located at 428 North Walton Avenue in City of Yuba City as legally described on Exhibit A-1 attached hereon (“Property”) for a purchase price of $2,125,000.

Concurrently with recordation of the deed, that certain Deed of Trust with Assignment of Rents dated June 1, 2023 securing the sum of Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($850,000) which was recorded as Instrument No. 2023-0005025 in the Official Records of Sutter County (“Hilbers Deed of Trust”).

B. On April 18, 2023, City received a presentation from Developer for the construction of a 217 unit apartment complex titled “Merriment Village Apartments,” on the Property. The estimated cost of the total project is approximately Twenty-Sive Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($26,500,000) (“Project”). Rather than attempting to develop the Project all at once, Developer proposed to split the Project into multiple phases, with Phase 1 consisting of a 4-story, 79-unit assisted units and one manager unit, l to apply for Homekey program funding (“Phase 1”).

C. The California Department of Housing and Community Developer (“HCD”) funding typically requires a joint application with a local public entity. The public entity does not actually construct the approved project but does remain jointly and severally liable under the HCD Grant Agreement. On May 2, 2023, City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-056 authorizing a joint application with Developer to apply for Homekey 3.0 funds for Phase 1 and authorized the Mayor to submit a Funding Commitment letter for City commitments.

D. The joint application was submitted to HCD in May 2023 and was approved by HCD on February 13, 2024 (“Award Date”), and on June 13, 2024, City received the Standard Agreement No. 23-HK-18192 from HCD (“Original HCD Grant Agreement”), awarding Twenty-Four Million Six Hundred Thirty-Two Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-One Dollars ($24,632,331) in Homekey funding for Phase 1 (“Grant Funds” or “Award”) consisting of Twenty-Two Million Six Hundred Thirty-Two Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-One Dollars ($22,632,331) for the construction of capital improvements (“Grant Construction Funds”) and Two Million Six Hundred Fifteen Thousand Four Hundred Twenty-Five Dollars ($2,615,425) for operating expenses (“Grant Operating Funds”).

E. The Original HCD Grant Agreement provides that the Grant Funds can be distributed to “Grantee” which is Developer as the Eligible Applicant as defined therein. However, the Original HCD Grant Agreement provides that the City is jointly and severally liable for breach of the Original HCD Grant Agreement so City is requiring that all Grant Funds must be transferred to City for distribution by City.

F. Developer has indicated to City that there is currently a funding gap between the Grant Construction Funds and construction bids of approximately Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (“Gap”). Developer has indicated it has a tentative agreement with Five Star Bank to provide a sufficient money to cover the Gap (“Gap Loan”).

G. The Original HCD Grant Agreement was subsequently amended by that certain Homekey Request for Milestone Deadline Extension dated January 7, 2025 (“HCD Grant Agreement.)” The HCD Grant Agreement specifies a deadline for construction of the Improvements is on or before October 13, 2026 (“HCD Deadline Date”).

Page 259 of 303 ends

2 H. The Parties previously executed that certain Covenant and Loan Agreement (Merriment Village – Phase 1) dated July 11, 2024 which was recorded on July 11, 2024 as Instrument No. 2024-0005981 (“Original Loan Agreement”) in the Official Records of Sutter County (“Official Records”).

I. Developer executed that certain Declaration of Restrictive Covenants dated July 10, 2024 which was recorded on August 5, 2024 as Instrument No. 2024-006646 in the Official Records (“HCD Covenant”). The Original Loan Agreement was subordinated to the HCD Covenant pursuant to that certain Subordination Agreement dated June 6, 2025 and recorded on June 27, 2025 Instrument No. 2025-0005620 in the Official Records.

Any such Hazardous Materials shall be “significant” for this purpose if said Hazardous Materials, in City’s sole discretion, have a materially adverse impact on the value of the Property and Improvements.

11.2. Acceleration Upon Default; Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Default, City may, at its sole option, declare all sums owing to City under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents immediately due and payable and shall have the right to retain the balance of any undistributed Grant Funds. Upon such acceleration, City may, in addition to all other remedies permitted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and at law or equity, including, but not limited, foreclosure of the Deed of Trust and/or the Security Agreement, apply any sums in the Account and Account to the sums owing under the Loan Documents and any and all obligations of City to fund further disbursements under the Loan shall terminate.

If such payment is made from funds of City, Developer shall immediately repay such funds upon written demand of City.

Developer shall thereafter not allow any construction work, other than corrective work, to be performed on any of the Improvements affected by the condition of nonconformance until such time as City notifies Developer in writing that the nonconforming condition has been corrected.

11.5 City’s Completion of Construction. Upon the occurrence of a Default, City may, upon five

Page 277 of 303 ends

20 (5) days prior written notice to Developer, and with or without legal process, take possession of the Property and Improvements, remove Developer and all agents, employees and contractors of Developer from the Property and Improvements, complete the work of construction and market for sale within the Property and/or Improvements. For this purpose, Developer irrevocably appoints City as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest. As attorney-in-fact, City may, in Developer’s name, take or omit to take any action City may deem appropriate with respect to third parties, including, without limitation, exercising Developer’s rights under all contracts concerning the Property and/or Improvements, but excluding the Loan Documents.

11.6. Repayment of Funds Advanced. Any funds expended by City in the exercise of its rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable to City upon demand, together with interest at the default rate specified in Section 1.1 of Note from the date the funds were expended. City may pay same from the Account.

11.7. Rights Cumulative, No Waiver. All City’s rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with those granted by law or at equity, are cumulative and may be exercised by City at any time. City’s exercise of any right or remedy shall not constitute a cure of any Default unless all sums then due and payable to City under the Loan Documents are repaid and Developer has cured all other Defaults. No waiver shall be implied from any failure of City to take, or any delay by City in taking, action concerning any Default or failure of condition under the Loan Documents, or from any previous waiver of any similar or unrelated Default or failure of condition.

Any waiver or approval under any of the Loan Documents must be in writing and shall be limited to its specific terms.

1 EXHIBIT D

DISBURSEMENT PROCESS
A. Timing of Disbursement. Unless another provision of this Agreement specifies otherwise, on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, Developer shall submit to the Distribution ContolAgent together with a copy to City a written itemized statement, executed by Developer in a form as required by City (“Draw Request”) setting forth:

1. A description of the work performed, material supplied and/or costs incurred or due for which disbursement is requested with respect to any line item (“Item”) shown in the Construction Budget. Notwithstanding the amount of any line item shown in the Construction Budget, Developer, with City’s approval, may reallocate amounts among the line items by allocating cost savings in any line item to Contingency, and amounts from the Contingency to any line item with a cost overrun with the prior written approval of City; and

2. The total amount incurred, expended and/or due for each requested Item less prior disbursements.

Each Draw Request by Developer shall constitute a representation and warranty by Developer that Developer is in compliance with all the conditions precedent to a disbursement specified in this Agreement. With respect to Developer’s remaking of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 6 of this Agreement on the date of submission of each Draw Request, to the extent circumstances have changed for reasons beyond the reasonable control of Developer such that Developer must qualify such representations and warranties as of the date of delivery of any such Draw Request, such qualification, to the extent it renders the applicable representation materially untrue or breaches the applicable warranty, shall merely be a failure of condition to City’s obligation to disburse funds under the provisions of this Exhibit D, as opposed to constituting an Event of Default.

B. City’s Right to Condition Disbursements. City shall have the right to condition any disbursement upon City’s receipt in the appropriate form of the following submissions and City’s reasonable determination that such submissions comply with all the following requirements:

1. The Draw Request and an itemized requisition for payment.

2. Bills, invoices, documents of title, vouchers, statements, receipts and any other documents evidencing the total amount expended, incurred or due for any requested Items.

3. Compliance with all requirements of the Distribution ContolAgent including a lien release, joint check or voucher system acceptable to City for payments or disbursements to any contractor, subcontractor, materialman, supplier or lien claimant.

4. An appropriate endorsement(s) to the Title Policy evidencing that the amount of the coverage has increased to the current loan balance and that there are no liens of record.

5. Architect’s, inspector’s and/or Architect’s periodic certifications of work that has been completed and its conformance to the Plans and Specifications and governmental requirements based upon any such Architect’s, inspector’s and/or Architect’s periodic physical inspections of the Property and Improvements.

6. Waivers and releases of any mechanics’ lien, stop notice claim, equitable lien claim or other lien claim rights as specified under California law which shall be (i) conditional lien releases unless payment is made directly by the Construction Disbursement Agent for costs to be paid from the current Draw Request, and (ii) unconditional lien releases for all prior amounts which have been previously been disbursed by City for which conditional lien releases had been secured.

7. A written release executed by any surety to whom City has issued or will issue a set-aside

Page 293 of 303 ends

2 letter and/or any public entity or agency which is a beneficiary under any instrument of credit, set-aside letter or standby letter of credit which City has issued or will issue with respect to the Loan.

8. For final payment only with respect all or any separate, independent portion of the Improvements, valid, recorded Notice(s) of Completion for the Improvements or any portions of the Improvements for which Notice(s) of Completion may be recorded under applicable law, and final payment lien release waivers (conditional with respect to costs to be paid from such final payment, and unconditional for all other costs).

9. Certificate of Substantial Completion from the Architect prior to distribution of the Retention and a certificate of occupancy issued by City.

10. Any other document, requirement, evidence or information that City may have reasonably requested under any provision of the Loan Documents at least five (5) days prior to the applicable Draw Request.

11. Except with respect to items covered below, evidence that any goods, materials, supplies, fixtures or other work in process for which disbursement is requested have been incorporated into the Improvements.

12. In the event any Draw Request includes the cost of materials stored at a location other than the Property (“Offsite Materials”), each of the following: (a) evidence that the Offsite Materials have been purchased by Developer, have been segregated from other materials in the facility and have been appropriately marked to indicate Developer’s ownership thereof and City’s security interest therein; and (b) evidence that the Offsite Materials are insured as required by this Agreement.

13. In the event that any Draw Request includes the cost of materials stored on the Property (“Onsite Materials”), each of the following:
(a) evidence that the Onsite Materials have been purchased for or by Developer; (b) evidence that the Onsite Materials are insured as required hereunder; and (c) evidence that the Onsite Materials are stored in an area on the Property for which adequate security is provided against theft and vandalism.

Developer acknowledges that this approval process may result in disbursement delays and Developer hereby consents to all such delays; provided, however, that City shall use commercially reasonable efforts to disburse funds for all approved Items in any Draw Request within the applicable City Payment Processing Period.

C. Disbursement of Retention. Any Retention shall be distributed to Developer upon Developer’s delivery to City of (1) the applicable unconditional lien releases specified above; (2) the applicable certificate(s) specified above; (3) certificate of completion of the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications issued by the Architect; and (4) a certificate of occupancy issued by the City as a governmental agency.

D. No Partial Disbursements. No disbursement shall be made for a particular Draw Request unless all required supporting materials are included for the Items.

Recommendation: Cancel the January 6, 2026 Regular City Council Meeting, approve the 2026 City Council Meeting Calendar, and provide for Special Workshops to be scheduled as needed
Fiscal Impact: None
Purpose:

To establish the City Council Meeting Calendar for 2026.

Background:

The Yuba City Municipal Code Section 2-1.01 sets the Regular Meetings of the City Council to occur on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. (5:00 p.m. for any Closed Session items) in the Council Chambers. Special Meetings or Workshops may be called at any time by the Mayor or by a majority of the members of the Council.

In order to allow the City Council to determine their schedules in advance and to allow staff to prepare for meetings and workshops more efficiently, it is proposed that Council approve a Regular Council Meeting Calendar for 2026. The proposed calendar is attached for your reference.

Analysis:

There are no scheduling conflicts with holidays and City Council Meetings in 2026. However, staff recommends that the following meeting be canceled:

January 6, 2026
City Hall offices are typically closed the last week in December for approved Holiday Closure, the time during which the agenda preparation usually occurs. For this reason, the first meeting in January has been canceled.

Special meetings and workshops will be scheduled as needed. At this point, the following Workshops are proposed for the 2026 meeting schedule:

February 3, 2026 - Regular Meeting
To include Mid-Year Budget Review & Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Outlook May 26, 2026 – Budget Study Workshop
Discuss Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget Planning and Projections Other Considerations:

April 20-24, 2026 - Cap to Cap
The annual Cap-to-Cap conference is April 20-24, 2026. With this in mind, the Council should consider whether a quorum will be available for the meeting on April 21, 2026 and advise staff whether this meeting should remain on the schedule.

Alternatives:

Regular meetings are set by the Municipal Code, however if needed, meetings can be canceled by the Council with sufficient notice, and special meetings can be scheduled as needed.

Fiscal Impact:

No fiscal impact
Recommendation:

Cancel the January 6, 2026 Regular City Council Meeting, approve the 2026 City Council Meeting Calendar, and provide for Special Workshops to be scheduled as needed.
