Agenda Item 6

CITY OF YUBA CITY

STAFF REPORT
Date: June 2, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Police Department
Presentation By: Brent Slade, Police Commander
Summary
Subject: Special Investigation Unit Task Force MOU
Recommendation:

A. Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Yuba City, Sutter County Sheriff’s Department, Sutter County Probation Department, and the Sutter County District Attorney’s Office for the establishment of a Special Investigations Unit (SIU) task force
B. Authorize the Chief of Police to execute the agreement on behalf of the City and approve the MOU effective date of July 1, 2026
Fiscal Impact:

The total annual cost associated with this MOU shall not exceed $60,000. Costs are shared between the City of Yuba City and the County of Sutter on an annual basis. The City of Yuba City will fund operational expenses associated with joint enforcement activities, with up to $30,000 reimbursed annually by the County of Sutter pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The annual cost share is structured at $30,000 per agency, with the City’s net annual fiscal responsibility not to exceed $30,000, which is expected to be absorbed within the Police Department’s existing budget
Purpose:

The purpose of this MOU is to establish a coordinated, multi-agency framework for addressing narcotic-related offenses, violent crimes, and other criminal activity within Sutter County. This agreement is intended to enhance collaboration between participating agencies through shared resources, intelligence, and enforcement strategies while promoting efficiency, accountability, and effective prosecution. This MOU also provides structured funding sources to support joint operations and ensure long-term sustainability.

Strategic Focus Area:

This item supports the City Council's Strategic Area of Public Safety.

Page 19 of 393 ends

Background:

The NET-5 Task Force has historically served as a multi-agency collaborative unit focused on narcotics and gang enforcement within Sutter and Yuba County. Participating agencies include Yuba County Sheriff’s Department, Sutter County Sheriff’s Department, Marysville Police Department, Sutter County Probation Department, Sutter County DA’s office, and the Yuba City Police Department.

Over time, the operational demands, enforcement priorities, and investigative strategies of participating agencies have evolved. While NET-5 has provided value in addressing narcotic and gang-related offenses, the participating agencies have identified the need for a more flexible, efficient, and intelligence-driven model that better aligns with current public safety priorities, including broader violent crime trends, drug trafficking patterns, and quality of life concerns.

As a result, partner agencies have evaluated the structure and effectiveness of NET-5 and determined that transitioning to the SIU model will better serve the Sutter County community.

Analysis:

The proposed MOU establishes a revised partnership model between the Yuba City Police Department, Sutter County Sheriff’s Department, Sutter County Probation Department, and the Sutter County District Attorney’s Office. This will enhance Interagency coordination while providing greater flexibility in addressing emerging crime trends.

Key Components of the MOU include:

SIU Task Force Structure:

The SIU will operate as a collaborative unit composed of personnel from participating agencies.

Personnel will remain employees of their respective agencies and investigative priorities will be determined collaboratively based on case severity and community impact.

Shared Intelligence and Resources:

Participating agencies will maintain a strong information sharing practice to support coordinated enforcement efforts.

Agency Autonomy with Coordinated Support:

Each agency will retain operational control over its personnel while contributing to joint investigations and enforcement efforts.

Prosecutorial Collaboration:

The District Attorney’s Office will provide legal guidance, assist with case preparation, and support successful prosecution of cases generated by the SIU.

Fiscal Impact:

Page 20 of 393 ends

which is expected to be absorbed within the Police Department’s existing budget.

Alternatives:

1. Do not approve the MOU

2. Request modifications to proposed MOU
Recommendation:

B. Authorize the Chief of Police to execute the agreement on behalf of the City and approve the MOU effective date of July 1, 2026.

CITY OF YUBA CITY

STAFF REPORT
Date: June 2, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Human Resources Department
Presentation By: Aricka Espinoza, Administrative Analyst Summary
Subject: 2026 City Hall Holiday Closure
Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution authorizing the closure of City Hall from November 23, 2026 through Friday, November 27, 2026, Monday, December 21, 2026 through Friday, December 25, 2026, and Friday, January 1, 2027
Fiscal Impact: None
Purpose:

To provide advance notice to the public and City staff to plan for the holiday periods:

1. Thanksgiving: Monday, November 23, 2026 through Friday, November 27, 2026

2. Christmas: Monday, December 21, 2026 through Friday, December 25, 2026

3. New Year’s Day: Friday, January 1, 2027
Strategic Focus Area:

This item addresses the Strategic Focus area of Workforce Excellence by allowing employees an opportunity to take extra time off before the end of the calendar year while customer service demands are low. It also allows advanced notice of closures to the public.

Background:

Historically, the numbers of City Hall's routing counter service requests and utility bill payments the week of Thanksgiving and the time between Christmas and New Year's Day are low. Since 2011, City Hall has been closed the week of Christmas and on New Year's Day.

Since 2020, the holiday closure has also included Thanksgiving week. Beginning in 2024, the week of Thanksgiving became a recognized paid holiday for the Public Employees' Union, Local 1/AFSCME 57, First Level Managers, and Mid-Managers bargaining units as well as the Confidential Employees unit. Employees that are required to work during the week of Thanksgiving have the option to take those holiday hours off during the months of October, November, or December. Those employees in these bargaining units not required to work use Thanksgiving holiday hours during the week of

Page 31 of 393 ends

Thanksgiving.

Beginning in February 2025, the office hours for City Hall changed to Monday through Thursday, 8am to 5pm, and Friday by appointment only. Friday holiday closures will not impact the current business hours of City Hall.

The proposed time periods to close City Hall are:

This holiday closure provides an opportunity for employees to take extra time off before the end of the calendar year while customer service demands are low. Employees may elect to work during the Christmas and New Year's Day holiday closure or may utilize accrued discretionary leave time.

These holiday closures do not impact emergency services or other facilities such as the Corporation Yard, Water Treatment Facility or Wastewater Treatment Facility. Also, inspection services will remain available.

Analysis:

The Local 1, First Level Managers, and Mid-Managers bargaining units as well as the Confidential unit have been notified of the recommended closures.

The Holiday Closures will be well advertised to the public to ensure advance and thorough notification.

If approved, a news release would be published to the City's website. Notices of the closure will be posted at City Hall as well as on the City’s social media accounts.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact on the General Fund.

Alternatives:

Do not close City Hall for Thanksgiving week, Christmas week, or New Year’s Day.

Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the closure of City Hall from Monday, November 23, 2026 through Friday, November 27, 2026, Monday, December 21, 2026 through Friday, December 25, 2026, and Friday, January 1, 2027.

CITY OF YUBA CITY

STAFF REPORT
Date: June 2, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Public Works Department
Presentation By: Joshua Wolffe, Public Works Director
Summary
Subject: Yuba City Landscape District No. 1 - Annual Levy Initiation Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution describing improvements and ordering the Engineer of Work to file a report regarding Yuba City Landscape Maintenance District No. 1, to continue the Maintenance Districts pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972
Fiscal Impact: Receipt of assessments and expenditure of funds for lighting and landscape maintenance districts throughout the City
Purpose:

To continue to provide lighting and landscape maintenance throughout the City pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and Article XIIID of the California Constitution.

Strategic Focus Area:

Levying Yuba City Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 (LLMD 1) addresses the City Council's Strategic Focus Area of Infrastrucure, as levying LLMD No. 1 will ensure that street lighting, landscaping, and other items included in the Districts are maintained and in operation.

Background:

The City annually levies and collects special assessments in order to maintain and service landscaping and lighting improvements that provide special benefit to the parcels identified in LLMD 1 (District). The assessments were approved by the property owners of record through a protest-ballot proceeding at the time the District was formed.

LLMD 1 includes the Stabler Lane area (Zone of Benefit A) and Garden Highway Area (Zones of Benefit B, B_1, and B_2). Zones of Benefit A and B do not have provisions for a cost of living adjustment (COLA) and have historically been charged the maximum levy allowed in order to cover their annual expenses. Zones B_1 and B_2 are recently formed zones of benefit and do have provisions for a COLA, which is based on the Consumer Price Index from January to January.

Analysis:

The proposed action of ordering the Engineer of Work to file reports for the District is the first step in the

Page 36 of 393 ends

annual levy process. This step allows staff to review expenses and revenues for the District, determine how to best levy the District such that revenues meet or exceed expenditures and appropriate reserve balances are maintained, and ultimately file reports that will be reviewed and approved by Council.

Once the reports are approved by Council, a Public Hearing will be held for the District’s annual levies.

Fiscal Impact:

Staff time and consultant expenditures within budgeted administration amounts will be required to prepare and file the reports. The proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-27 will be available for review and analyzed in depth at the time of the Annual Report Approval.

Alternatives:

Do not order the Engineer of Work to file reports for the District. This will result in delays to the annual levy process, ultimately causing the City to file with the County Auditor after the legal deadline.

Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution describing improvements and ordering the Engineer of Work to file a report regarding Yuba City Landscape Maintenance District No. 1, to continue the Maintenance Districts pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

Levying Yuba City Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District Nos. 5 and 6 (LLMD 5 and 6) addresses the City Council's Strategic Focus Area of infrastructure, as levying LLMD 5 and 6 will ensure that street lighting, landscaping and associated items, block walls, detention ponds, and streetend barricades included in the Districts are maintained and in operation.

Background:

The City annually levies and collects special assessments in order to maintain and service landscaping and lighting improvements that provide special benefit to the parcels identified in LLMD 5 and 6 (Districts). The assessments were approved by the property owners of record through a protest-ballot proceeding at the time the Districts were formed.

LLMD 5 (64 subdivisions located throughout Yuba City) and 6 (Commercial District) have provisions for a Cost of Living Adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index from January to January.

Presentation By: Joshua Wolffe, Public Works Director
Summary
Subject: Yuba City Residential Street Light Maintenance Districts - Annual Levy Initiation Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution describing improvements and ordering the Engineer of Work to file a report regarding Yuba City Residential Street Light Maintenance Districts, to continue the Maintenance Districts pursuant to the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 and Article XIIID of the California Constitution Fiscal Impact: Receipt of assessments and expenditure of funds for lighting and landscape maintenance districts throughout the City
Purpose:

To initiate proceedings for the continuation of the levy of Assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-27 within the Residential Street Light Maintenance Districts, pursuant to the provisions of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 and Article XIIID of the California Constitution.

Strategic Focus Area:

Levying Yuba City Residential Street Light Maintenance Districts (RSLMDs) addresses the City Council's Strategic Focus Area of infrastructure, as levying of the RSLMDs will ensure that street lighting remains operational.

Background:

The City annually levies and collects special assessments in order to maintain and service streetlights in the Walton Area and Tierra Buena Area (Districts). The Districts were formed when the areas were under the County’s jurisdiction, and the City took over the administration of the Districts when they were annexed into the City.

Analysis:

The proposed action of ordering the Engineer of Work to file reports for the Districts is the first step in the annual levy process. This step allows staff to review expenses and revenues for the Districts, determine how to best levy the Districts such that revenues meet or exceed expenditures and appropriate reserve balances are maintained, and ultimately file reports which will be reviewed and approved by Council. Once the reports are approved by Council, a Public Hearing will be held for the Districts' annual levies.

STAFF REPORT
Date: June 2, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Public Works Department
Presentation By: Joshua Wolffe, Public Works Director
Summary
Subject: Prop 1 IRWM Grant Project #4 - North Gilsizer Detention Basin Improvements Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution that authorizes the purchase of a Continuous Deflective System Unit (Model #CDS5678-10-C) from Contech Engineered Solutions, LLC in the amount of $136,750.00, with a finding that it is in the best interest of the City, and authorizing a procurement contingency of $13,675.00.

Fiscal Impact: $150,425 – Account No. 951296-65501 (N Gilsizer Detention Basin Improvement Project)
$136,750 – Procurement of Materials
$13,675 – Procurement Contingency (10%)
Purpose:

To minimize adverse water quality impacts from point sources to surface and groundwater and to improve and protect riparian and fish habitat, and fish passage by removing trash and debris from stormwater runoff before it enters the North Gilsizer Detention Basin (Detention Basin).

Strategic Focus Areas:

The project aligns with the City Council’s Focus Area regarding Improving Infrastructure.

Background:

The City of Yuba City is a stakeholder in the North Sacramento Valley (NSV) Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) region, which includes Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Shasta, Sutter, and Tehama Counties.

In 2019, Butte County was the lead agency for the NSV IRWM Proposition 1 Round 1 grant funding application. Butte County examined various stakeholder’s projects that have been identified in approved Storm Water Resource Plans (SWRP). Two of the City’s SWRP projects were selected to be included in Butte County’s NSV IRWM Proposition 1 Round 1 grant application: Project 4 Gilsizer North Detention Basin Improvement Project (Project 4) and Project 5 Lincoln Road Trash Capture Project in Gilsizer Slough at Lincoln Road (Project 5). The City’s projects were awarded funding by DWR in the amount of $970,700 on July 3, 2020. On July 20, 2021, Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a Subrecipient Agreement with Butte County allowing allocation of the grant funds for these

Page 56 of 393 ends

projects.

Project 4 involves improvements to the detention basin east of the City’s Corporation Yard, and constructing structures to cover the existing fuel station and bulk material storage areas at the Corporation Yard.

On April 5, 2022, Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with West Yost and Associates, Inc. (West Yost) to facilitate environmental documents, permitting, and design of the projects. West Yost is near completion of the final plans, specifications, and cost estimate for the trash capture device at the detention basin. After several design alternatives were evaluated and numerous discussions with Sutter County staff overseeing the Gilsizer Drainage District, the final design consists of a single Continuous Deflective Separation (CDS) Unit (Model #CDS5678-10-C) at the north inlet to the detention basin.

Analysis:

Contech Engineered Solutions, LCC is the sole supplier of the required CDS unit. Due to the estimated 6–10 week procurement lead time for the CDS unit and grant timeline requirements, staff recommends authorizing early purchase of the CDS unit to expedite the construction schedule and reduce contractor markup costs associated with procurement.

Staff will advertise for the installation of the CDS unit in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Policy and applicable provisions of the California Public Contract Code, and bring award of a construction contract for the installation to Council at a later date.

Environmental:

Staff has performed a preliminary environmental assessment of the installation of a trash capture device in the Detention Basin and have determined that it falls within the Class 1 Categorical Exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15301 as this work involves a minor alteration to an existing public facility involving neglible or no expansion of existing use. Furthermore, none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, section 15300.2 applies to this project.

Fiscal Impact:

This Project will not impact the General Fund. The total estimated cost for the detention basin improvements is approximately $150,425, which consists of the following components:

Procurement of Materials: $136,750
Procurement Contingency (10%): $ 13,675
Total Estimated Cost: $150,425
There are sufficient funds in Project 4’s account (No. 951296) for the procurement of materials and procurement contingency. Once construction is completed, the costs related to procurement and installation of the CDS unit will be reimbursed through the Prop 1 IRWM grant. Fiscal impacts of the installation of the CDS unit will be presented to Council at a later date.

Alternatives:

There is no reasonable alternative to authorizing this purchase. If Council desires not to authorize the purchase, the project will be terminated and any grant funds will be forfeited.

Page 57 of 393 ends

Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution that authorizes the purchase of a Continuous Deflective System Unit (Model #CDS5678-10-C) from Contech Engineered Solutions, LLC in the amount of $136,750.00, with a finding that it is in the best interest of the City, and authorizing a procurement contingency of $13,675.00.

CITY OF YUBA CITY

STAFF REPORT
Date: June 2, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Public Works Department
Presentation By: Joshua Wolffe, Public Works Director
Summary
Subject: Citywide Signal Hardware Upgrades (Construction Contingency Increase) Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution which takes the following actions:

A. Authorizes contingency amounts of $156,739.17 for CIP Account No. 1314 and $80,784.71 for CIP Account No. 1317
B. Authorizes the Finance Director to increase appropriations in 911314-65501 to $121,954.21 utilizing unallocated Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds and increase appropriations in 951314-65501 to $695,586.13 C. Authorizes the Finance Director to decrease appropriations in 921317-65501 to $0.00 and increase appropriations in 951317-65501 to $299,297.46 Fiscal Impact: $786,668.75 – Account No.1314 (Citywide Signal Hardware Upgrades) $629,335.00 - Contract Award Amount (Schedule A)
$ 156,739.17 – Revised Construction Contingency
$ 31,466.75 - Construction Management/Inspection Contingency $262,050.00 – Account No.1317 (SHS Signal Hardware Upgrades) $174,700.00 - Contract Award Amount (Schedule B)
$ 80,784.71 – Revised Construction Contingency
$ 17,470.00 - Construction Management/Inspection Contingency Purpose:

To promote vehicle and pedestrian safety by upgrading and improving signal hardware at various signalized intersections throughout the City.

Strategic Focus Area:

This project addresses the City's Strategic Focus Area of improving the City’s infrastructure.

Background:

On December 2, 2025, Council awarded a construction contract to Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC

Page 82 of 393 ends

(Contractor) for the Citywide Signal Hardware Upgrades Project, which includes improvements to both City-owned and State Highway System (SHS) traffic signals. The project scope includes replacement of signal backplates and installation of 2-inch yellow reflective tape at designated signal heads to improve traffic signal visibility and safety.

The Contractor has performed a field verification of the existing signal infrastructure and identified compatibility conflicts at approximately eleven (11) City-owned signalized intersections. Additionally, the Contractor identified conflicts at ten (10) SHS intersections.

The Contractor determined that the proposed replacement backplates are not compatible with the existing signal heads, as the backplates are manufacturer-specific and not interchangeable between manufacturers. Procurement of compatible backplates for the existing signal head manufacturers is not feasible because the existing signal heads are mostly discontinued models and compatible replacement backplates are no longer commercially available.

Additionally, two City-owned signalized intersections currently do not have Internally Illuminated Street Name Signs (IISNS) and the associated mounting brackets required to support the IISNS assemblies.

The Contractor has included costs for this additional work, which will improve traffic control device visibility, enhance roadway safety, and provide consistency with other City-owned signalized intersections. Furthermore, two existing 4-section signal heads were evaluated in the field and determined to be damaged beyond repair, requiring replacement to maintain safe and reliable traffic signal operations.

Analysis:

As a result of these findings, City staff coordinated with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 3 Electrical Division to evaluate potential solutions. Two alternatives were presented:

1. Replace the existing signal heads with new signal heads, including new backplates and 2-inch yellow reflective tape; or

2. Rehabilitate the existing backplates through repainting and installation of reflective yellow tape.

Caltrans determined it prefers to go with full replacement of the existing signal heads at the affected SHS intersections to ensure long-term compatibility, maintainability, and compliance with current standards. Staff recommend implementing the same approach for the affected City-owned traffic signals to maintain consistency throughout the project and minimize future maintenance concerns.

The Contractor has provided two separate change order requests totaling $121,739.17 for the Cityowned signals and $60,784.71 for the SHS signals.

Fiscal Impact:

The requested contingency increases will not impact the General Fund.

The revised estimated total construction cost for the project is approximately $1,090,495.05, which consists of the following components:

Citywide Traffic Signal
Upgrades (1314)
State Highway Signal
Upgrades (1317)
Construction Contract: $629,335.00 $174,700.00
Original Construction Contingency: $ 62,933.50 $ 34,940.00

Page 83 of 393 ends

Additional Contingency per this
request: $ 93,805.67 $ 45,844.71
Revised Total Contingency: $156,739.17 $ 80,784.71
Construction
Management/Inspection: $ 31,466.75 $ 17,470.00
Project Cost: $817,540.34 $272,954.71
Combined Project Cost (City & State): $1,090,495.05
Citywide Signal Hardware Upgrades (CIP No. 1314)
The requested change order amount for replacing signal heads is $121,739.17. Staff recommend keeping an additional $35,000 in contingency available for any further unforeseen conditions once the replacements commence, resulting in a total construction contingency of $156,739.17.

Currently, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Account No. 1314 (Citywide Signal Hardware Upgrades) has an available balance of approximately $523,195.11, consisting of $500,992.13 in Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant funds and $22,202.98 in local Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds.

On February 12, 2026, the City received an allocation letter from Caltrans approving an amendment to the HSIP funding agreement to provide an additional $194,594.00 in grant funding for the Citywide Traffic Signal Upgrades Project (1314).

To accurately reflect the State grant funds available and provide the necessary local share, the Finance Director requests authorization to make the following budget adjustments:

1. Increase appropriations in 911314-65501 to $121,954.21 utilizing unallocated Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds.

2. Increase appropriations in 951314-65501 to $695,586.13.

State Highway System Signal Hardware Upgrades (CIP No. 1317) The requested change order amount for replacing signal heads is $60,784.71. Staff recommend keeping an additional $20,000 in contingency available for any further unforeseen conditions once the replacements commence, resulting in a total construction contingency of $80,784.71.

Currently, CIP Account No. 1317 (SHS Signal Hardware Upgrades) has a balance of $466,656.74, consisting entirely of HSIP grant funds. No fiscal adjustments are required for this account. The contingency increase for the SHS signals is entirely grant funded. To accurately reflect the State grant funds available, the Finance Director requests authorization to decrease appropriations in 921317- 65501 to $0.00 and increase appropriations in 951317-65501 to $299,297.46.

Alternatives:

1. Approve the proposed change order amounts, but do not authorize any additional contingency increase and require staff to return to Council for any further needed increases.

2. Do not authorize the proposed change order amounts and direct staff to rehabilitate the existing backplates instead of replacing the signal heads, which would delay the project and perhaps still require a contingency increase.

Page 84 of 393 ends

Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution which takes the following actions:

A. Authorizes contingency amounts of $156,739.17 for CIP Account No. 1314 and $80,784.71 for CIP Account No. 1317.

B. Authorizes the Finance Director to increase appropriations in 911314-65501 to $121,954.21 utilizing unallocated Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds and increase appropriations in 951314-65501 to $695,586.13.

C. Authorizes the Finance Director to decrease appropriations in 921317-65501 to $0.00 and increase appropriations in 951317-65501 to $299,297.46.

Agenda Item 15

CITY OF YUBA CITY

STAFF REPORT
Date: June 2, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Utilities Department
Presentation By: Phil Marler, Utilities Director
Summary
Subject: Utilities 2026-2031 Rate Schedule and Ordinance Update Recommendation: A. Continue the item to the next regular meeting of the City Council (June 16, 2026)
Fiscal Impact: If proposed utility rate schedules are approved, the water and wastewater revenue changes would adequately fund projected operations, maintenance, and capital improvement for the upcoming five (5) fiscal years Purpose:

To adopt a five-year utility service rate schedule, aligning with the results of the Proposition 218 process and water and wastewater rate studies, and update the utilities chapters of the Municipal Code.

Strategic Focus Area:

This item addresses Council’s strategic focus of Fiscal Responsibility and Infrastructure by providing the necessary cost recovery to support the services, operations, maintenance, labor, and capital improvement of the City’s water and wastewater systems.

Background:

The City’s utilities service rates and fees are intended to fully recuperate costs to deliver water and wastewater services and the operations and infrastructure of their associated systems via self-funded enterprise funds. In order to develop and propose rate maximums for a five-year projection, local agencies are required to provide a documentary record as evidence of the fiscal requirements per California statute.

Utilities rate studies were prepared by Black & Veatch Management Company, LLC of Los Angeles, CA to evaluate Fiscal Years 26/27 through 30/31, in coordination with City staff and evaluated by a thirdparty consultant, and were adopted by Council on March 17, 2026. At that time, the City Council directed staff to initiate a Proposition 218 protest process as legally required to adjust rates for all water and wastewater customer classes.

The Proposition 218 protest hearing was conducted at the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on May 19, 2026. The City Clerk tabulated the number of written protest ballots received, which totaled less than 50% of the total affected parcels. Therefore, the rate maximums recommended in the utilities

Page 89 of 393 ends

rate studies and enumerated on the Proposition 218 Notice were adopted.

Analysis:
2026-2031 Utilities Rate Schedule
The fee schedule recommended by the utilities rate studies and approved via the Proposition 218 process set a maximum limit on the amount that can be charged; the City Council retains the authority to adopt reduced rates as appropriate to match actual costs and revenues received. At this time, Utilities Department staff recommend that the five-year rate schedule prepared in the rate studies be adopted to go into effect each November 1st, which customers will receive on their January bills (Attachment 1). This schedule provides the reliable revenue stream to fund the identified critical capital and operational needs and is based on current projections and industry conditions.

However, City staff will continuously monitor the enterprise fund revenues and expenditures throughout the five-year period to ensure that rates are appropriately set and could return in later years to recommend amending the rate schedule if warranted. Staff will continue to pursue alternative grant and loan funding from state and federal agencies for large capital infrastructure projects and other major expenditures, which could offset the revenue required from service rates.

The Resolution does not include a rate schedule for the Significant Industrial User customer class at this time, although rate maximums were adopted with Proposition 218. The 2026 wastewater rate study updated the methodology for this user class and reevaluated its cost share of capital improvement and debt service. The City is working with these customers to finalize the rate schedule in recognition of the significant changes to existing rates and the usage data gathered since the study’s completion. Utilities staff will return to Council with a recommendation for the industrial rate schedule and any necessary agreements at a future meeting prior to the November rate implementation.

Ordinance Update
The recommended water and wastewater Ordinance (Attachment 2), as introduced on May 19, 2026, captures several changes necessary to accurately represent the service rates and current City structure and to meet regulatory requirements. These changes are summarized below:

Title 6 Chapter 5 – Wastewater Collection and Treatment • Remove the Proposition 218 limits and service fee tables, as they are adopted and recorded via Resolution and the City’s fee schedule
• Update responsibilities to add the recreated Utilities Director and reduce the responsibilities of the Public Works Director
• Update the industrial user service fee information to match the changes in calculation methodology
• Update the septage hauler fee information to match changes to rate determination Title 6 Chapter 6 – Water System
• Remove the Proposition 218 limits and service fee tables, as they are adopted and recorded via Resolution and the City’s fee schedule
• Update responsibilities to add the recreated Utilities Director and reduce the responsibilities of the Public Works Director
• Update backflow prevention requirements for landscape-only connections

Page 90 of 393 ends

• Add regulations for California AB 1572 compliance to prohibit commercial, industrial, and institutional nonfunctional turf irrigation
Fiscal Impact:

The water and wastewater revenue changes and proposed rate schedules would adequately fund projected operations, maintenance, and capital improvement for the next five (5) fiscal years.

Implementation for the Year 1 rates is scheduled for November 1, 2026, with customers billed and revenues received with the updated rates in January 2027. This timeline has been incorporated into the proposed Fiscal Year 26/27 operating and Capital Improvement Program budgets for water and wastewater.

Alternatives:

1. Direct staff to modify the recommended rate schedule amounts or implementation dates for water and/or wastewater.

2. Do not adopt new rate schedules and keep water and wastewater service rates at the current levels. This would prevent the City from meeting the State Revolving Fund loan approval timeline for construction of the mandated Outfall Diffuser Replacement Project, in addition to underfunding the projected overall water and wastewater enterprise fund needs.

Recommendation:

A. Continue the item to the next regular meeting of the City Council (June 16, 2026) Attachments:

WHEREAS, the City Council of Yuba City (“City”) is authorized by the California Constitution, Article XI, Section 7 to make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws; and WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted the Yuba City Municipal Code, which it periodically updates to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; and WHEREAS, the City Council adopted water and wastewater rate studies and initiated a Proposition 218 protest process on March 17, 2026 in order to secure the necessary service rate revenue to fund critical operations, maintenance, debt service, and capital infrastructure improvements for the water and wastewater systems; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Proposition 218, a protest public hearing took place on May 19, 2026, in which the City Clerk received and tabulated the protests and determined that there was not a majority protest of the proposed water and wastewater rate adjustments; and WHEREAS, City Council desires to update and amend the Yuba City Municipal Code Title 6 Chapter 5 (Wastewater Collection and Treatment) and Chapter 6 (Water System) in order to capture the 2026 Proposition 218 rate maximums and user class changes, update the roles and responsibilities associated with the Utilities Director and Public Works Director, and meet new state water regulations in a fair manner that best addresses the public health, safety, and welfare.

NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Yuba City does ordain as follows:

Section 1.

The above recitals are all true and correct and are hereby adopted as findings.

Section 2.

The proposed ordinance was assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines (“CEQA Guidelines”), and the environmental regulations of the City. The City Council finds and determines that the proposed ordinance is not a “project” for the purposes of CEQA and consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, as it promotes environmental conditions by providing improved processes and programs for the treatment and delivery of drinking water and the collection and treatment of wastewater, and will not result in direct or indirect substantial, adverse physical changes in the environment as compared to the current baseline. Additionally, the City Council finds and determines for the same reasons that even if the proposed ordinance were a project for the purposes of CEQA, there is no possibility that this project may have a significant adverse effect on the environment pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3). Therefore, the proposed ordinance is not subject to CEQA.

The City Council of the City of Yuba City does ordain as follows:

TITLE 6. – PUBLIC WORKS
CHAPTER 5. WASTEWATER COLLECTION AND TREATMENT1
Article 1. General Provisions
Sec. 6-5.101. Purpose and policy.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide for the maximum possible beneficial public use of City facilities through the adequate regulation of sewer construction, sewer use, and industrial wastewater discharges; to provide for the equitable distribution of City costs; and to provide procedures for complying with the requirements placed upon the City by other regulatory agencies.

This chapter sets forth uniform requirements for dischargers to the publicly owned treatment works and enables the City to comply with the administrative provisions of the Clean Water Grant Regulations; water quality requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the applicable effluent limitations; State Water Resources Control Board's Sanitary Sewer Systems Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) and Monitoring and Reporting Requirements for the Sanitary Sewer System in reference to the City's sewer system management plan (SSMP); national standards of performance, toxic, and pretreatment effluent standards; and all other applicable State and Federal laws, including the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq.) and the General Pretreatment Regulations (40 CFR 403). In the event that state and/or federal wastewater discharge or treatment regulations and/or standards exist or are subsequently adopted which are more stringent and/or restrictive than the requirements of this chapter, the more stringent and restrictive regulations shall apply. The primary objectives of this chapter include:
(a) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the publicly owned treatment works that will interfere with its operation;
(b) To prevent illicit discharges (e.g., infiltration and inflow, chemical dumping, unauthorized debris, etc.) into the sanitary sewer system;
(c) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the publicly owned treatment works that will pass through the publicly owned treatment works, inadequately treated, into receiving waters, or otherwise be incompatible with the publicly owned treatment works; (d) To protect both publicly owned treatment works personnel who may be affected by wastewater and sludge in the course of their employment and the general public; (e) To promote reuse and recycling of industrial wastewater and sludge from the publicly owned treatment works;
(f) To provide for fees for the equitable distribution of the cost of operation, maintenance, and improvement of the publicly owned treatment works;

This chapter shall apply to all users of the publicly owned treatment works. This chapter authorizes the issuance of wastewater discharge permits; provides for monitoring, inspections, compliance, and enforcement activities; establishes administrative review procedures; requires user reporting; and provides for the setting of fees for the equitable distribution of costs resulting from the program established herein.

Revenues derived from the application of this chapter shall be used to defray the City's cost of operating and maintaining adequate wastewater collection and treatment systems and to provide sufficient funds for capital outlay, bond service cost, capital improvements, depreciation, and/or capital replacement.

Sec. 6-5.102. Scope.

This chapter shall be interpreted in accordance with the definitions set forth in Section 6-5.106. of this article.

The provisions of this chapter shall apply to the direct or indirect discharge of all liquid-carried wastes to the facilities of the City. This chapter, among other things, provides for the regulation of sewer construction in areas within the City, the quantity and quality of discharged wastes, the degree of waste pretreatment required, the setting of waste discharge fees to provide for the equitable distribution of costs, the approval of plans for sewer construction, the issuance of permits for industrial wastewater discharges and of other miscellaneous permits, and the establishment of penalties for violations of this chapter.

Sec. 6-5.103. Administration.

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the City Manager shall administer, implement, and enforce the provisions of this chapter by coordinating the actions of the Public WorksUtilities Director, the Finance Director, the Public Works Director, and any other necessary City department. The primary responsibility for the administration, implementation, and enforcement of the parts of this chapter which relate to billing, collecting, and accounting for the fees and charges established by this chapter is assigned to the Finance Director. The primary responsibility for the administration, implementation, and enforcement of the parts of this chapter related to the operations of the wastewater treatment facility, wastewater collection system, sewer system management plan, pretreatment program, and water treatment plant is assigned to the Public WorksUtilities Director. The primary responsibility for the administration, implementation, and enforcement of the parts of this chapter which relate to professional engineering functions, private development, and improvement or construction of public infrastructure is assigned to the Public Works Director. The primary responsibility for the administration, implementation, and enforcement of all other parts of this chapter is assigned to the Public WorksUtilities Director.

Page 6 of 79 ends

(1) The total mass of the constituent discharged over the calendar day (12:00 a.m. through 11:59 p.m.) or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents a calendar day for purposes of sampling, for a constituent with limitations expressed in units of mass; or (2) The unweighted arithmetic mean measurement of the constituent over the day for a constituent with limitations expressed in other units of measurement (e.g., concentration).

The daily discharge may be determined by the analytical results of a composite sample taken over the course of one day (a calendar day or other 24-hour period defined as a day) or by the arithmetic mean of analytical results from one or more grab samples taken over the course of the day.

For composite sampling, if one day is defined as a 24-hour period other than a calendar day, the analytical result for the 24-hour period will be considered as the result for the calendar day in which the 24-hour period ends.

Except as herein provided, it shall be unlawful to construct or maintain any privy, privy vault, septic tank, cesspool, seepage pit, or other facility intended or used for the disposal of sewage.

Sec. 6-5.203. Occupancy prohibited.

No building, industrial facility, or other structure shall be occupied until the owner of the premises has complied with all the rules and regulations of the City and this chapter.

Sec. 6-5.204. New buildings requiring sewers.

Before a building permit may be issued for any new building to be situated within the City which requires sewage disposal, provisions shall be made by the applicant and/or the property owner to connect the building with the City public sewer system, all in accordance with the requirements of this chapter. Provisions to connect the building to the public sewer may include extension of the main sewer line at the property owner's expense if necessary to adequately serve the building as determined by the Public Works Director. The property owner shall be responsible for the proper maintenance of the service lateral, at property owner's expense, from the building(s) to the collecting sewer/community sewer, including the connection of the service lateral to the collecting sewer/community sewer.
(a) The Public Works Director may determine that extension of the public sewer to the new building is unfeasible due to distance and, upon approval, may allow the property owner to obtain authorization by the County Health Department to construct a septic system. In such cases, Section 6-5.207. shall then apply.

Sec. 6-5.205. Existing buildings requiring sewage disposal.

Existing buildings situated within the City and requiring sewage disposal shall be required to be connected to the public sewer system of the City at the property owner's expense provided such public sewer is within 200 ft. of the nearest point of the structure. Exceptions to this requirement may be permitted when the County Health Official finds that an existing septic tank system and/or private sewage disposal system is properly and adequately functioning; however, once the private sewage disposal system and/or septic tank system fails for the structure which is within 200 ft. of the serviceable public sewer line, a connection to the public sewer system shall be required at the property owner's expense. All fees shall be paid prior to issuance of a building permit. The property owner shall be responsible for the proper maintenance of the service lateral, at property owner's expense, from the building(s) to the collecting sewer/community sewer, including the connection of the service lateral to the collecting sewer/community sewer.

No sewer shall be connected to the City's public sewer until the work covered by the permit has been completed, inspected, and approved by the inspector. At a minimum, inspections shall take place at the stages listed below:
(1) Installation of bedding material;
(2) Installation of pipe prior to initial backfill (including service laterals); (3) Installation of initial backfill;
(4) Installation of final backfill; and
(5) Installation of manholes and cleanouts.

All sanitary sewer lines shall be tested between manholes or between manholes and cleanouts by the test methods specified in the City's standard specifications and/or special provisions. Tests for final acceptance shall be made after the line has been backfilled and subgrade compaction requirements have been obtained within the street section. After pressure testing has been completed, all gravity sewer mains shall be cleaned and televised before permanent paving is applied. In addition, sewer manholes shall be vacuum-tested for leakage. Before the sewer lines are accepted, they shall be cleaned and flushed of all foreign matter to the satisfaction of the City. In addition to these requirements, the City reserves the right to perform final cleaning and televised inspection(s), and the applicant shall be responsible to pay all the costs associated with final cleaning and televised inspections. The applicant shall be responsible to correct all defects to the satisfaction of the City and at no cost to the City before acceptance.

Failure to comply with the specifications or meet the minimum requirements may result in rejection of the work.

If the test proves satisfactory to the City and the sewer has been cleaned of all debris accumulated from construction operations, the Public Works Director shall issue a certificate of satisfactory completion. (b) Time limits on permits. If work under a permit is not commenced within six months after the date of the issuance of the permit, or if, after partial completion, the work is discontinued for a period of six months without obtaining a time extension or one year with two six-month time extensions, the permit shall thereupon become void, and no further work shall be done until a new permit has been secured. A new permit, with fee in effect at the time of issuance of the new permit, shall be obtained prior to any additional work.

It shall be the duty of the person doing the work to make sure that the work will stand the tests required by the City before giving such notification. (d) Condemned work. When any work has been inspected and the work condemned and no certification of satisfactory completion given, a written notice to that effect shall be given instructing the owner of the premises, or the agent of such owner, to repair the sewer or other work authorized by the permit in accordance with the laws, rules, and regulations of the City. (e) All costs paid by owners. All costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection of any sewer or other work for which a permit has been issued shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall indemnify the City from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the work. (f) Street excavation permits. A separate permit shall be secured from the City, County, and/or State as required by owner(s) or contractor(s) intending to excavate in a public street for the purpose of installing sewers or making sewer connections. A City encroachment permit shall be obtained for work in the City right-of-way, in accordance with Sections 6-1 and 6-2 of this Code.
(g) Liability. The City and its officers, agents, and employees shall not be answerable for any liability, injury, or death to any person or damage to any property arising during or growing out of the performance of any work by such applicant. The applicant shall be answerable for, and shall hold the City and its officers, agents, and employees harmless from, any liability imposed by law upon the City or its officers, agents, or employees, including all costs, expenses, fees, and interest incurred in defending the same or in seeking to enforce this provision. The applicant shall be solely liable for any defects in the performance of their work or any failure which may develop therein.

Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans describing such facilities, including operating and maintenance procedures, shall be submitted to the Public WorksUtilities Director for review, and shall be acceptable to the Public WorksUtilities Director before such facilities are constructed. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying such facilities as necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the City under the provisions of this chapter.

Sec. 6-5.406.B. Additional pretreatment measures.
(a) Whenever deemed necessary, the Public WorksUtilities Director and/or designee may require users to restrict their discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage waste streams from industrial waste streams, and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user's compliance with the requirements of this chapter. (b) The Public WorksUtilities Director and/or designee may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on their property and at their expense, a suitable storage and flow-control facility to ensure equalization of flow. A wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization. (c) Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Public WorksUtilities Director, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease, oil, or sand, except that such interceptors shall not be required for residential users. All interception units shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Public WorksUtilities Director and/or designee and shall be so located as to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly, according to the manufacturer's guidelines, by the user at their expense. (d) Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
(e) The Public WorksUtilities Director may deny, condition, and/or limit without restriction new or increased contributions of pollutants or changes in the nature of pollutants, when the discharger does not meet pretreatment standards and the discharge would cause the POTW to violate its NPDES permit.

Sec. 6-5.406.C. Accidental discharge/slug control and countermeasures plans. (a) Each discharger shall provide protection from the accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other wastes regulated by this chapter. Where necessary, or as directed by the Public WorksUtilities Director, retention basins, dikes, storage tanks, or other facilities designed to eliminate, neutralize, offset, or otherwise negate the effects of prohibited materials or wastes discharged in violation of this chapter shall be installed.
(b) Dischargers shall notify the City immediately when accidental discharges of wastes in violation of this chapter occur so that countermeasures may be taken by the City to minimize damages to the sewer system, treatment plant, treatment process, or for any fines imposed on the City on account thereof under Water Code § 13350, or for violations of Fish and Game Code § 565. (c) In the event of an accidental discharge in violation of this chapter, the discharger shall furnish the City, within five days of the date of the occurrence, a detailed written statement describing the causes of the accidental discharge and the measures being taken to prevent future occurrences. (d) In order for employees of dischargers to be more fully informed of City requirements, copies of this chapter shall be permanently posted on bulletin boards of dischargers that shall be easily visible by all employees, together with such other industrial waste information and notices which may be furnished by the City. (e) Sewer connections within the discharger's plumbing or drainage system shall be appropriately labeled to warn operating personnel against the discharge of any substance in violation of this chapter.

The Public WorksUtilities Director and/or designee shall evaluate whether each significant industrial user needs a plan or other action to control slug discharges. Significant industrial users must be evaluated within one year of being designated a significant industrial user. For purposes of this subsection, a slug discharge is any discharge of a non-routine, episodic nature, including, but not limited to, an accidental spill or a non-customary batch discharge, which has a reasonable potential to cause interference or pass through, or in any other way violate the POTW's regulations, local limits, or permit conditions. The results of such activities shall be available to the approval authority upon request. Significant industrial users are required to notify the POTW immediately of any changes at its facility affecting potential for a slug discharge. If the POTW decides that a slug control plan is needed, the plan shall contain, at a minimum, the following elements:
(1) Description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch discharges; (2) Description of stored chemicals;
(3) Procedures for immediately notifying the Public WorksUtilities Director of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by Section 6-5.806 of this chapter; and (4) Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug discharge. Such procedures include, but are not limited to, inspection and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading and unloading operations, control of plant site runoff, worker training, building of containment structures or equipment, measures for containing toxic organic pollutants including solvents, and/or measures and equipment for emergency response.

Sec. 6-5.406.D. Hauled wastewater.

Sec. 6-5.407. Measurement of industrial waste.

Any industrial or commercial user may be required to provide a metering device acceptable to the City, at the user's expense, to permit the accurate determination of the volume of wastewater discharged into the City sewage system. Where the sewage flow is not measured, and unless other arrangements are agreed upon in advance, the volume of sewage flow shall be taken as the metered water consumption. At the option of the Utilities Public Works Director, when the sewage flow is not substantially different than the metered water consumption, the volume of waste for payment may be determined by special agreement or by the use of sewage flow meters installed and maintained by qualified personnel at the user's expense.

Sec. 6-5.408. Industrial wastewater charges.
(a) General. The capital interest and costs shall be determined by the required plant capacity of each industrial user. The major industrial users at the time of adoption of this chapter, Sunsweet Growers, Yuba City Cogeneration, Valley Fine Foods and Greenleaf II, in addition to the operations and maintenance charges, shall pay for the debt service and capital replacement in accordance with their existing contracts with the City and in accordance with the 2016 Wastewater Rate Study. The maximum wastewater charges for industrial wastewater related to the debt service and capital replacement per the rate study are shown in the following tables; however, the actual rates shall be as approved by Council. The Public Works Director shall have the authority to negotiate and execute new agreements with new industrial users for the debt service and capital replacement costs based on the current rate study and as approved by the City Council.

Maximum rate and fee limits established by the Proposition 218 process shall also be adopted by resolution. charged the rates stated in the most recent wastewater rate study/revenue program as adopted by the Council, which charges shall reflect the user's contribution to the total wastewater loading of the treatment works and will recognize volume, BOD, and suspended solids (SS) to ensure a proportional distribution of costs to each user.

The maximum industrial user rates are shown in the table below in accordance with 20216 Wastewater Rate Study and approved following the Proposition 218 process. However, the City Council retains the authority to set the actual rates each fiscal yearby Resolution, which may be found in the City's annual fee schedule on the City's website.

(c) Billing period. During each fiscal year, there will be 13 four-week billing periods. The Finance Director may divide the annual cost into 13 equal billings and combine the user's share of operation and maintenanceuser costs, plus any assessment for additional costs caused by the user discharging wastewater in violation of the provisions of this chapter.
(d) Payment of charges and delinquent charges. All fees and charges imposed under the provisions of this chapter shall be due and payable upon the receipt of the notice of charges. Unpaid charges shall become delinquent 60 days after mailing or delivering the notice of charges. A basic penalty charge of 10% of the unpaid amount shall be added to any fee or charge which becomes delinquent. Interest at the rate of 2% per month shall accrue on the total of all delinquent charges, plus all penalty charges. (e) Determination of charges.
(1) Capacity. The actual plant capacity for each industrial user will be determined by the highest daily volume, pounds of BOD, and pounds of suspended solids discharged into the sanitary sewer system measured by averaging the highest three consecutive days during the prior fiscal year. The three determining factors for industrial capacity will not necessarily peak during the same period. New industrial users will estimate their plant capacity requirements and make periodic deposits as determined by the Finance Director during their first year of operation with an adjustment billing or credit, whichever the case may be, within 30 days after the end of the fiscal year. If the period of operation during the first fiscal year is not sufficient to determine a plant capacity, the second-year operation capacity requirements will be used as if the industry was a new user in that year. The Public Works Director shall have the authority to negotiate and execute new agreement with the new industrial users for the debt service and capital replacement costs. (2) Actual discharges. The Industrial operation and maintenancesewer service chargesosts will be based on the actual volume, pounds of BOD, and suspended solids. It will be the industrials user's responsibility to provide composite samples of its discharges for determining the BOD and suspended solid testing.
