About the Cover
“Bridging the Divide!” The 5th Street Bridge Replacement Project
The 5th Street Bridge Replacement Project was the City of Yuba City’s largest and most complex multi-agency public works project to date replacing the functionally obsolete two-lane bridge. The previous 5th Street Bridge, spanning the Feather River, connected 5th Street in Marysville to Bridge Street in Yuba City. The bridge was built in 1958 after the original bridge was destroyed in the 1955 Flood. The City was the lead agency for this $70 million-dollar project, in cooperation with the City of Marysville, Counties of Sutter and Yuba, California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG). With the outstanding leadership and coordination of Kevin Bradford, Deputy Public Works Director and Engineer for the City of Yuba City, project construction began in January 2018, and was completed in July 2020, with approximately 600 working days. The 5th Street Bridge is vital to the regional movement of vehicles and goods between four State Highways (SR99, SR70, SR20, and SR65), between the cities of Yuba City and Marysville, and between the counties of Sutter and Yuba, as well as numerous other smaller communities in the surrounding rural region. The 5th Street Bridge Replacement Project has enhanced safety, inter-regional traffic circulation, and air quality. The improvements included a new 4-lane, 10 span cast-in-place post-tensioned concrete box girder bridge which connects 5th Street in Marysville to Bridge Street in Yuba City.

Reader’s Guide
READER’S GUIDE TO THE BUDGET The Budget User’s Guide provides the reader with an overview of the City’s budget process, as well as an explanation of how to understand, read, and use this budget document. The reader can also access our budget document online. Simply download the online version to your desktop and you can navigate the document using bookmarks.
The Budget Preparation Process The budget itself is the process of allocating limited resources to attain given goals and objectives. The process is dynamic and constantly changing in tune with public interest and needs. The initial phase of the budget preparation process begins with the City Council Goal Setting session. The Executive Team and Finance staff works to develop a budget calendar and provide overview and training sessions to department staff. In an effort to assist the Council, the Capital Improvement Program budget process was initiated in January 2020. During the next several months, all departments become involved in a detailed review of the current operating budgets, goals, and objectives. From this analysis, appropriations for new and additional services, positions, and capital acquisitions are prioritized. Finally, in late May, a final review of budget requests is made by the City Manager, Department Heads, and Finance Department staff. As soon as the City Manager approves the final details, a proposed budget document is printed. The following are some of the more notable dates of our budget process:
FY 2020-2021 Budget Calendar Date Function 01/13/20 Departments begin work on

Once the budget is adopted by the City Council, the responsibility of implementing each department’s budget lies with each Department Head, with the ultimate responsibility resting with the City Manager. The City also operates under a set of investment policies required by the California Government Code (Section 53646) and the City’s Financial Policy XII. These policies are brought before the Council annually. A summary of the Investment Policy is included in the “Strategic Plan & Fiscal Policies” section of the budget document for reference.

Basis of Budgeting and Accounting
The City of Yuba City's accounting records are maintained in full accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), as established by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Government fund types (General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Project Funds, and Debt Service Funds), agency funds, and expendable trust funds are maintained on a modified accrual basis of accounting (see Glossary). Proprietary fund types (Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds) and non-expendable trust funds are maintained on an accrual basis of accounting (see Glossary). For a further description of the various fund types used by the City, please refer to the Glossary chapter. Budgets are adopted annually on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP); the same guidelines used in the preparation of the year-end financial statements. Thus, revenue estimates generally anticipate amounts that will be considered earned and available to meet current period expenses among the coming fiscal year. Certain expenses obligated in FY 2019-20 will not have been paid by June 30, 2020, but are estimated in FY 2020-21. Salaries, for example, have been estimated in the budget as long as they are expected to have been obligated for time worked by the end of June 30th, even though they will not have been paid until the first or second week of July.

City Manager’s Message
July 1, 2020 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council, On behalf of city staff, it is my pleasure to submit to you the adopted budget for Fiscal Year 2020-2021. The budget serves as the City’s primary financial management tool and is an important expression of policy regarding public services and community priorities. The budget considers the City’s short and long-term organizational goals in consideration of available revenue. As such, the budget is utilized as both a financial plan and a communication device. The fund summaries provide an understanding of the financial condition of the funds that comprise the overall budget. The budget includes organizational charts, descriptions of services provided, accomplishments, initiatives, and performance measurements to better explain the functions and program objectives of each department. This message highlights changes in the economy, financial conditions, legislative issues, and key issues for the City. This report also highlights the major accomplishments of the past year.
A Deficit Budget The FY 2020-21 operating budget includes a deficit of $1.8 million for the City’s general fund after city departments came forward with $1.7 million in further cuts prior to budget adoption. In FY 2017-18, the City had a surplus on a budget basis for the first time in many years, which the City had again in FY 2018-19. In the four previous years, while the City had a deficit on a budget basis, it still ended the year with a surplus due to one-time savings from vacant positions. Now that the City once again has a budget deficit due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenues in the general fund, we
continue to examine expenditure needs thoroughly because of continued revenue volatility and concerns with large anticipated future rate increases from CalPERS. The City evaluates and updates its long-term financial plan semi-annually, with intermediate reviews occurring every 90 days. City Council has formed a two-member ad hoc committee to review each department further and make budget amendment recommendations to the entire council at a regular meeting in September or October. Compared to the adopted FY 2019-20 budget, the FY 2020-21 adopted budget includes revenue decreases of $1,846,200 and expenditure increases of $404,500. The largest decreases in revenue are sales tax ($2,195,300) and hotel/motel surcharge ($318,600). Cost allocations and reimbursements increased $406,000; included in this is a $500,000 transfer from the City’s pension stabilization trust fund to reimburse the General Fund for pension costs. Expenditures for salaries and benefits increased by $327,000. Materials, supplies and services increased by approximately $77,500. Personnel expenditures for salaries and benefits continue to be the largest portion of the budget, representing 76.7 percent of the general fund.
Future Challenges
The City has evaluated our unmet financial needs and identified the four items that require attention:
1. CalPERS unfunded liabilities 2. Deferred infrastructure maintenance &
replacement 3. Economic development initiatives 4. Funding Council’s goals with resources
curtailed by the statewide pandemic response
Since identifying these needs, significant progress has been made including: CalPERS unfunded liabilities. An IRS Section 115 Trust held by an independent third-party trustee has been established: $2 million was set-aside in FY 2015-16, $1,235,081 has been contributed from surplus funds through FY 2019-
7
City Manager’s Message
20, $600,000 has been used to paydown unfunded liability, $500,000 has been used to reimburse the General Fund for normal pension costs, and there have been investment earnings to date of $312,174. The City acknowledges that we have a significant unfunded CalPERS liability of $79.9 million. The unfunded actuarial liability increased from $70.4 million as of the June 30, 2017 actuarial reports to $79.2 for the June 30, 2018 actuarial reports. The change was attributable to:
1) A gain in net assets ($12 million) due to the 8.6% return CalPERS made on its investments for the year;
2) A gain in the liabilities mostly due to assumption change amortization that outpaced asset growth by $8.8 million; and
3) The average salary increase was less than CalPERS expected for City staff.
The City percentage funded status for all CalPERS plans decreased to an average of 71.4 percent as of June 30, 2018. Deferred infrastructure maintenance & replacement. The City has committed funding in our current or future capital improvement program (CIP) budget for: $640,000 for playground replacement; $274,000 for Blackburn-Talley Field Lighting Replacement; $1,585,000 for Harter Parkway Park and Bike Path; $110,000 in improvements to buildings and grounds; $960,000 for the Fire Station No. 2 remodel project; $12,353,000 in current streets maintenance projects; $29,000,000 in current water plant and distribution system improvements; and $13,000,000 in wastewater plan and collection system improvements. Economic development initiatives. The City has rejoined the Yuba Sutter Economic Development Corporation. An additional unmet financing need concerns annual contributions for the eventual replacement of all general fund fleet vehicles and equipment. Contributions should be approximately $1,110,000 annually; $310,000 higher than the current $800,000 contribution. The amount committed towards vehicle replacement in FY 2020-21 remains at $800,000. An effort has been
made to rightsize the City’s fleet and eliminate unneeded vehicles. The amount contributed from the general fund will be reevaluated again next budget year.
Status of Employee Bargaining Contracts
City Council established guiding principles as part of their negotiations strategy. Their priority areas of focus are as follows: Fiscal sustainability
o Address CalPERS unfunded liabilities o Provide a combination of onetime and
ongoing funds Focus on recruitment/retention for difficult-to-
fill positions Prioritize essential services The City met with bargaining groups in May, 2020, to discuss the City’s financials and the economy. The City’s prior labor contracts all expired on June 30, 2020, with the exception of the Police contracts. The City will meet with bargaining groups to negotiate new contract terms in the coming months. To date, only Local 3793 (Fire) has brought forward an amendment to put off further negotiations until January, 2021, which the City Council accepted. The City remains cautious of ongoing salary increases which further increase CalPERS costs and balances that against paying competitive wages to attract and retain qualified personnel.
Other General Fund Resources
The City has approximately $18.1 million in general fund reserves available as follows: Healthy Cities Reserve $6.7 M Pension Stabilization Trust $2.6 M Unallocated CIP $0.6 M Vehicle Replacement $8.2 M Total $18.1M The funds in the pension stabilization trust are restricted and can only be used towards future retirement costs for employee pensions. The reserves, however, do constitute resources available because the City can use the funds to make CalPERS payments in future years when

City Manager’s Message
required payments are expected to escalate to a level that may exceed annual revenue increases. The funds in the vehicle replacement plan (VRP) fund are collected for the ongoing replacement of the City’s fleet of vehicles; they also could be used in the event of a fiscal emergency (such as were used to fund the former Economic Stabilization Reserve fund).
Economic Conditions There have been positive and marked changes with regard to the revenue portion of the budget. General fund revenue has continued to exhibit steady growth in the past few years, this budget anticipates that revenue will decline, then flatten. Below is a summary of general fund revenues (in millions) on an actual basis historically along with FY 2019-20 projected and the FY 2020-21 budget:
The table above shows Yuba City’s general fund revenues have declined from an all-time high of $44.4 million. It is important to note that the FY 2020-21 revenues include a $500,000 transfer in from the pension stabilization trust which is a source of funds, but not technically a revenue. It is shown as a revenue because the use is planned to reimburse normal, general fund, pension cost. After a dismal start to the new year due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a glimmer of hope arrived in some bounce-back of the equities markets, manufacturing, and in the labor report second quarter only to see over half of California’s counties, and much of the nation, backslide into another round of closures which will add stress to markets already growing
pessimistic about a timely economic recovery. Though nobody could have predicted how it would come about, it appears that some of last year’s recession predictions came true. While we can do little to influence or manage the national or state economy, we can do more to control our own destiny and local economy. Second quarter home sales volume in Sutter County was 18 percent lower in April than a year before and May is holding steady with April. Recorded sales for these months reflect purchasing decisions made at about the same time as the economic shutdown. The median price paid for all Northern California homes sold in April was $290,000, down five percent from $305,000 in the prior month, and down two percent from $295,250 in April, 2019. Yuba City’s April home sales declined 29 percent over the previous year at 46 and the median price fell from a 15-month high of $320,000 in February, 2020, to $302,000—equal to the 2005 peak. In FY 2013-14, property tax revenues stopped declining and made a turn-around into positive territory. Since FY 2014-15, general fund values increased each year as follows:
FY 2014-15 6.3 percent FY 2015-16 6.3 percent FY 2016-17 4.0 percent FY 2017-18 4.8 percent FY 2018-19 4.9 percent FY 2019-20 5.4 percent
Values are budgeted to increase by 3.9 percent in FY 2020-21 due to the increasing sales price of housing and completed construction projects. The City is anticipating a sales volume decline and potential decreases to home values, which may cause a revenue decrease in FY 2021-22.

City Manager’s Message
Since FY 2012-13 and until FY 2018-19, sales tax has grown each year and changes by the following percentages:
FY 2012-13 3.55 percentFY 2013-14 2.75 percentFY 2014-15 10.28 percentFY 2015-16* 3.93 percentFY 2016-17 1.65 percentFY 2017-18 1.00 percentFY 2018-19 6.76 percentFY 2019-20 (3 qtrs.) 1.60 percent
*Increase appears higher in chart below due to the final one-time payment at the end of the triple flip with the State of California. The large increase in FY 2014-15 is attributed to the opening of three new auto dealerships and one dealership expansion during the year. The even larger increase in FY 2018-19 relates to catch up payments received from the CDTFA due to incoming tax returns not being remitted timely because of their software conversion. The FY 2019-20 three quarter average increase on an adjusted basis was 1.60 percent, but business shutdowns due to coronavirus had a severe affect and a 10.0 percent annual decrease is expected. The FY 2020-21 budget projects a 15.5 percent decrease.

City Manager’s Message
The FY 2020-21 budget includes authorization for 304.5 full-time positions, with no change from the previous year.
Long-Range Outlook: The long-range fiscal model allows the City to look beyond the immediate fiscal year for planning purposes. The City strives to prepare realistic revenue projections that are conservatively optimistic. In the event of a slowdown in the local economy or the onset of a national economic downturn, the City does not want to over-project revenue resources, thereby requiring a reactive response in adjusting the budget. This dictates prudence in developing the proposed expenditure plan. Staff continues to monitor the two costs which over the past ten years continue to escalate at a rapid pace: 1) CalPERS retirement costs; and 2) CalPERS healthcare costs (even though the City experienced flat healthcare rates for the City’s Blue Shield plan, historically the CalPERS Health average increase has been five percent per year). The City has concerns regarding the sustainability of CalPERS costs at the level they are currently projected to grow to—a concern that is shared by the CalPERS Board and is being actively evaluated. The City has conducted a series of six, monthly CalPERS workshops, open to the public, to discuss concerns regarding the sustainability of CalPERS, the City’s increasing costs, and the City’s unfunded actuarial liabilities. In spite of historically increased levels of sales tax, property taxes, and other revenue sources for which we anticipate large overall declines in
FY 2020-21, the City will continue to have additional challenges to sustaining a balanced budget long-term. These include putting further financial resources towards the previously listed, unmet needs along with the very large projected CalPERS increases.
Continuing CalPERS Cost Escalation The City has already included CalPERS cost escalations over the next several years into its long-range financial projections in light of the following factors: Prior investment losses were substantial and
cost recovery is accelerated over a shorter period beginning in FY 2014-15;
CalPERS adjusted its actuarial calculations to reflect longer life expectancies;
CalPERS Board approved changes to the amortization and smoothing policies which spread investment returns over a 20-year period with experience gains and losses paid for over a rolling 30-year period;
CalPERS adopted changes to the risk pooling structure which results in savings to Yuba City’s safety plans equal to approximately $200,000 per year; and
The discount rate was reduced further from 7.5% to first 7.375%, then 7.25% and ultimately 7.0%. Each step is being phased in over a 3-year period with the first reduction being phased in beginning in FY 2018-19.
Changes previously made to the City’s retirement system should lower pension costs over the very long term. This includes the transition to a two-tiered retirement system (with lesser benefits for new hires) and the creation of a third-tier retirement system created through state mandated pension reform laws (referred to as PEPRA). However, in the short term any savings are expected to be minor when offset by the increased CalPERS cost over the next five years. Below is a chart which shows changes in the projected CalPERS rate increases.

City Manager’s Message
You can see that the latest actuarial reports (dated June 30, 2018 at time of print) show an anticipated increase in retirement costs from $7.1 million in FY 2016-17 to $11.5 million by FY 2025-26. This is actually less than what was projected in actuarial reports from 2015 and 2016 and about the same as 2017. However, Finance projects this trend will continue until at least FY 2024-25 which will cause retirement cost increases to outpace other revenue increases. CalPERS costs are not sustainable over the long-term and statewide solutions will need to be implemented. The City will not be the first agency to experience economic stress due to rising pension costs and fully expects to have difficulty meeting this fiscal burden.
Summary The following table summarizes projected revenues and expenditures for the City’s major operating budget funds:
FY 2020-21 Revenues
FY 2020-21 Expenditures
Net Surplus or (Deficit)
General Fund $43,224,100 $45,019,981 ($1,795,881) Water
Operating $16,247,700 $13,793,414 $2,454,286
Wastewater Operating
$17,201,400 $15,125,450 $2,075,950
The net surplus shown above for both the water and wastewater operating funds will be utilized for infrastructure replacement, future capital project needs, and debt service repayment on anticipated future bonds based upon large capital project needs.
Legislative Issues The State of California eliminated redevelopment in FY 2011-12. Yuba City’s redevelopment agency (RDA) and all other redevelopment agencies throughout the state were ordered to “wind down.” Yuba City opted to continue in the capacity of the Successor Agency (SA) to the former Redevelopment Agency as part of the process. The FY 2020-21 budget includes only the cost allocation reimbursement to the general fund for staff support services provided to the SA and the scheduled debt service payments made on behalf of the SA (shown on the Debt Summary pages of the budget). This is because the SA is now a separate legal entity. During FY 2014-15, the SA received its Finding of Completion from Department of Finance and submitted its Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP) for approval. Department of Finance approved the LRPMP in September 2015, enabling the SA to begin selling property and winding down the affairs of the former agency.
Key Issues and Priorities This budget focuses on the maintenance of existing services and infrastructure. At the City Council’s Annual Goals & Priority setting Workshop held in March, 2019, the Council’s priorities were refined as follows: Public Safety—Safe Community: Ensure
the Highest Level of Public Safety Fiscal Stability: Maintain and Enhance the

Team continues to improve effluent water quality due to stricter water quality standards. Standards are regulated by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board through NPDES permits. Improvements to existing treatment process units continues to challenge the Team as the City grows and new regulations are implemented. In addition, the Department will be challenged during implementation of new Waste Discharge Requirements for the collection system to reduce sanitary sewer overflows to protect public health.
10. Sense of Community: As the City expands
within the sphere of influence the Team works cooperatively with the development industry to ensure wastewater infrastructure is expanded, coordinated with other infrastructure, and appropriately phased to benefit both existing and new customers.
11. High Quality of Life: The Team maintains
and operates the facility, which protects the high quality of water in the Feather River.

13. Quality Service Delivery: Development has
occurred around the perimeter of the Wastewater Treatment Facility, which requires constant vigilance by the Team to ensure that the facility is a good neighbor. The Team is continuously improving the entire facility’s odor and fly control systems.
14. Quality Service Delivery: The department is
continuously improving communication with internal and external customers.
15. Use of Technology: The Team uses a
combination of the latest computer software and instrumentation to maintain and operate the facility both on-site and remotely.
16. Modern Public Infrastructure: As the City
grows the department will continue to be challenged by providing adequate funding for new infrastructure through connection fees and implementation of the Wastewater System Master Plan.
17. Prudent Financial Management: All future
underground infrastructure and roadway work will be coordinated to assure the most efficient expenditure of public funds. In addition, the Team will ensure fees are adequate and development is able to occur with sufficient infrastructure.
18. Prudent Financial Management: Energy
conservation is always a top priority of the Wastewater Treatment Facility.
19. Balanced Economic Development: The
Team will be using a hydraulic modeling tool to ensure infrastructure is adequately sized and has the capacity necessary for development within infill areas and within the Sphere of Influence as defined by the General Plan.

The General Plan
On April 8, 2004 the City Council adopted the new General Plan with Resolution #04-049. The General Plan is a statement for the direction the City is taking as it grows into the future. The General Plan helps the City map out the look and style of new development so that growth is controlled and the City can maintain a high level of service to its customers. The General Plan update happens once every 10 years so that the City never falls out of step with growth.
The City is at a crossroads – regional projections estimate that the population will increase by upwards of 50,000 persons over the next 20 years – effectively doubling the 2002 population. Currently, the residents of Yuba City enjoy the City’s small size, the availability and affordability of housing, it’s small town feeling, and the surrounding rural landscape. This plan, based on input from Yuba City citizens, business owners, elected officials, and City staff, strives to maintain what is good and desirable about Yuba City as it grows into the future. This plan builds on the quality of current planning work in the City – such as the Buttes Vista Neighborhood Plan, and the Harter and Central City Specific Plans – and to carry through those city-building principles to the City as a whole. It also is coordinated with and supports ideas in the Sutter County General Plan. The maps and policies presented in the Plan are based on a real need for accommodating a future population and employment base combined with a real vision for the future. The Plan is comprehensive and long-range in scope. It will be used on an on-going basis as many City regulations, requirements, and actions are required by State law to be consistent with the General Plan. The Plan draws its ideas and policies from the many citizens who participated formally and informally in making both difficult and easy choices. The Plan envisions a growing community that preserves much of it’s small town feel and social fabric with an improved economy, new job opportunities, affordable housing, improved public services and facilities, new parks, an urban growth boundary that protects the much-prized rural agricultural landscape, and an overall improved quality of life.
The Yuba City General Plan is a document required by State law and adopted by the City Council that addresses issues related to physical development, growth, and conservation of City resources. The Plan: Outlines a vision of long-range physical
planning and land uses in order to address the economic development and resource conservation aspirations of the community;
Provides strategies and specific implementing actions that will allow this vision to be accomplished;
Establishes policies and standards to be used as a basis for judging whether specific development proposals are in concert with the goals of the community;
Provides guidelines and policies by which City departments, public agencies, and private developers can design projects that will enhance the character of the community, preserve and enhance critical environmental resources, and minimize hazards; and
Provides the basis for establishing and setting priorities for detailed plans and implementing programs, such as the Zoning Ordinance, specific plans, impact fee studies, and the Capital Improvement Program.

The General Plan – Growth Policies
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS The Growth policies in the Yuba City General Plan recognize that growth is caused by a wide variety of factors: state of the economy, interest rates, and availability of infrastructure outside of the City’s jurisdiction. While most of these factors are out of the control of the City, the City should control the planning of land use and the financing of all new infrastructure including new roads, public improvements, and public safety services. To this end, the City can influence the rate of growth, the location of growth, the timing of growth, level of service, and the provision of municipal services including sewer and water and public safety services. Within the areas identified as “Specific Plan Area,” no preannexation zoning shall be accepted until completion of the specific plan. Within the areas identified as “Master Plan Areas,” preannexation zoning requests may be processed pending approval of a Development Agreement that addresses the 12 policies presented below.
GROWTH POLICIES Prior to the City processing a preannexation zoning application, the following policies shall be implemented: 1. Prior to the City finalizing a development
agreement, the developer will have a letter from the affected school district stating that the developer has satisfied their requirements for school infrastructure. This would generally apply to any developments over four residential units. The school district would expect, at a minimum, that all residential developments enter into a Mello Roos District and that, depending on the size of development, land dedication and school development may be an alternative subject to negotiation with the District.
2. All residential subdivisions will include an
affordable housing component that meets the minimum production standard of affordable housing outlined in the regional
compact adopted by the City of Yuba City in November, 2004. The housing production standard requires all new housing construction supply a minimum of 10% affordability as follows: 4% very low income, 4% low income, and 2% moderate or additional low or very low income (4-4-2).
There are a variety of options of how best to meet the affordable housing requirement. These options would be subject to negotiations between the City and developer.
3. Drainage Plans shall be provided for all
subdivisions of land and shall comply with the City and County’s master drainage plans.
4. All developments proposing preannexation
zoning to the City will enter into a Development Agreement with the City. At a minimum, the Development Agreement will address the financing of roads, parks, public facilities, sewer, water, drainage, and surrounding infrastructure as established in the General Plan.
5. All residential subdivisions shall meet the
minimum standards for residential design as established by the City Council.
6. Sewer and water fees, including connection
fees and the installation of major trunk lines from both plants, shall be incorporated into the cost of development and shall be part of the Development Agreement.
7. Development will be required to pay their fair
share of major roadwork as part of their development and, in some cases, construct improvements of collectors and arterials that will adequately address infrastructure concurrent with their proposed development. This would be negotiated as part of the Development Agreement.
8. Payment of impact fees, which incorporate
the public improvements necessary to implement the General Plan, will be required and will be part of the Development Agreement. These fees will be estimates
39
The General Plan – Growth Policies
and final payment will be based on a formally adopted impact fee study approved by the City Council. In addition to the park impact fee, the Quimby Act will apply.
9. Payment of a fee to address levee
improvements and potential flood issues will be required as part of the Development Agreement.
10. All developments will enter into a
Community Facilities District to assist in funding police, fire, streets and park maintenance.
11. All developments will address the
community design policies in the General Plan including walkable, livable concepts and address the village concept as provided for in the General Plan.
12. It will continue to remain the policy of the
City of Yuba City that City services will not be extended to unincorporated areas of the Sphere of Influence without first annexing to the City. As in the past, exceptions can be granted for serious health and safety related problems.
SUMMARY Once the provisions of the policies have been completed and checked off by the Development Services Department and approved by the City Manager, a hearing for preannexation will be scheduled before the Planning Commission and City Council for consideration. All of these policies are subject to adequate sewer and water capacity and will be processed on a case-by-case basis. Developments completing the process and receiving preannexation zoning and annexation to the City will be issued building permits based on the City’s ability to provide sewer and water at that time.

Financial Policies
SUMMARY 1. The City’s updated fiscal policy strives to
maintain a minimum General Fund balance reserve equal to 15% of its operating budget. City Council approved increasing the level from 10% to 15% in November, 2013.
2. The City will strive to fund all current
expenditures from current revenues, avoiding procedures that balance current budgets by postponing needed expenditures, accruing future revenues or rolling over short-term debt.
3. One-time funds will not be budgeted or used
to pay ongoing operating expenses for the City. Exceptions require City Council approval and a financial plan to get back to covering ongoing expenditures using only ongoing revenues.
4. Recurring revenue growth will be used to
pay for recurring expenditures. Recurring expenditure increases should not be approved which exceed recurring revenue growth. Any new or expanded programs will be required to identify new funding sources and/or offsetting reductions in expenditures.
5. The Water and Wastewater Enterprise
Funds will have revenues (customer charges, interest income, and all other income) sufficient to meet all cash operating expenses, capital expenses, prescribed cash reserves, and debt service coverage requirements set forth in related bond covenants.
6. All Internal Service Funds will have
revenues (intra-City user charges, interest income, and other income) sufficient to meet all cash operating expenses and capital expenses. Such revenues shall also be sufficient to maintain cash reserves, which approximate the balance in accumulated depreciation.
7. The City will maintain appropriate reserves
in the Employee Benefits Fund, Dental/Vision Fund, Disability Program
Fund, General Liability Insurance Fund, and Workers’ Compensation Insurance Fund to meet statutory requirements and actuarially projected needs.
8. The City will strive to maintain a minimum
working capital balance equal to 90 days of operating requirements for the Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds operating budgets. In addition, a cash capital improvement reserve will be maintained for capital improvement projects.
9. The City will maintain a long-range fiscal
perspective through the use of an Annual Operating Budget, a five-year Capital Improvement Program, and a five-year revenue and expenditure forecast.
10. Major capital improvement projects will be
funded using the most financially prudent method available. Such methods include:
Traditional long-term financing (bond
issues). “Pay As You Go” financing (using
recurring revenues only). Combination of debt financing and “Pay
As You Go” financing. Using cash accumulated in excess of
policy requirements. 11. A Fiscal Impact Statement will be provided
with each staff report submitted to the City Council as part of the City Council agenda process.
12. The City will comply with all the
requirements of “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”
13. The City will annually review and adopt a
formal set of Investment Policies. 14. The City will annually review and adopt a
formal set of Debt Policies. 15. The City will strive to pay competitive market
level compensation to its employees.
41
Financial Policies
INVESTMENT POLICY
It is the policy of the City of Yuba City to invest public funds in a prudent manner which will provide maximum security while meeting daily cash flow demands and conforming to all statutes governing the investment of public funds. Within these parameters, funds will be invested to optimize investment return. The purpose of this document is to set forth the City’s policies guiding prudent investment of temporarily idle funds and to establish guidelines and objectives for suitable investments including delegation of authority, prudence, monitoring and reporting, policy review, diversification, eligible securities, safekeeping, collateralization, selection of depositories, brokers/dealers, and glossary of terms. A copy the City of Yuba City Investment Policy is available upon request from City Hall.
DEBT POLICY In recognition of its responsibility for the management of debt obligation for itself and its component units, the City of Yuba City has developed a comprehensive set of formal debt policies. Such policies are necessary in order to consolidate information of debt obligations and to maintain good credit standing. These policies will be reviewed annually by the City Treasurer and Finance Director (the Debt Policies Committee) and any changes will be presented to the City Council for approval. The City of Yuba City shall issue bonds primarily to finance capital improvement projects in accordance with set procedures included in the document. In a few instances, the City may be permitted to issue bonds to finance other projects or purposes, including operating expenses. However, such uses must receive City Council approval. For the purpose of this document, the term “bond” shall also include a variety of debt instruments including notes, commercial paper, certificates of participation, etc.
A copy the City of Yuba City Debt Policy is available upon request from City Hall.
FUND BALANCE POLICY
In June, 2011, City Council adopted a Fund Balance Policy in accordance with the requirements of Governmental Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 54. This Policy establishes procedures for reporting fund balance classifications, establishes prudent reserve requirements, and establishes a hierarchy of fund balance expenditures. The policy also authorizes and directs the Finance Director to prepare financial reports, which accurately categorize fund balance per GASB Statement No. 54. GASB 54 establishes five components of fund balance, each of which identifies the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts and be spent as follows: Non-spendable fund balance, restricted fund balance, committed fund balance, assigned fund balance and unassigned fund balance. A copy the City of Yuba City Fund Balance Policy is available upon request from City Hall.
42
Budget Policies
GENERAL POLICIES Budgetary emphasis will focus on providing high quality municipal services, recognizing the fundamental importance to the citizens of public safety and properly maintained infrastructure. The City will strive to fund all current expenditures from current revenues, avoiding procedures that balance current budgets by postponing needed expenditures, accruing future revenues, or rolling over short-term debt. The budget will provide sufficient funding for adequate maintenance and orderly replacement of capital plant and equipment. Future maintenance needs for all new capital facilities will be fully costed out, and added costs will be recognized and included in future year budget projections. Strong customer service and productivity improvements, with a focus on value added services, remain important budgetary goals.
BUDGETARY PROCEDURES AND AUTHORITY
The Finance Department notifies all City Departments when monthly reports are ready for review comparing budget vs. year-to-date actual expenditures for their respective department. The City established a threshold cost of $5,000 for capitalization of fixed assets. This only applies if the estimated useful life of the asset is more than one (1) year. The City’s Budget Document will include selected performance measures to better describe the workload of the different City programs, to gauge our effectiveness in providing services, and to ultimately be able to compare the City’s overall performance with other like agencies. All budgetary procedures will conform to State regulation and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Specific levels of budgetary authority will be maintained:
1. Department heads will be responsible for ensuring that expenditures within departmental budget categories of salaries & benefits; materials, supplies and services; and capital outlay do not exceed appropriations. Budget appropriations will be made at the line-item level; however, the level of control (level at which expenditures may not exceed appropriations) will be total departmental appropriations for each of these budget categories.
2. The City Manager will have the authority to transfer up to $50,000 in appropriations between capital projects and between funds for capital projects in order to meet the policy intent of the City Council.
3. City Council approval will be required to transfer appropriations between departments.
4. Contract change orders may be handled administratively up to the amount of the contract contingency approved by the City Council and within the appropriations set forth by the City Council.
REVENUE POLICIES
A diversified and stable revenue system will be maintained to shelter the City from short-run fluctuations in any single revenue source. The City will estimate revenues using an objective, analytical process; in the case of assumption uncertainty, conservative projections will be utilized. Revenues will be projected for the current year and the next four years, will be updated at least annually, and will be reviewed semi-annually. Intergovernmental assistance in the form of grants and loans will be used to finance only:
1. Capital improvements that are consistent with the Five-Year Capital Program priorities and can be maintained and operated over time; or
43
Budget Policies
2. Technological upgrades or enhancements; or
3. Capital acquisition items; or
4. Operating programs which either can be sustained over time or have a limited horizon.
5. Other areas as determined by the City Council to be in the best interest of the City.
One-time revenues will be used for operating programs only after an examination determines whether they are subsidizing an imbalance between operating revenues and expenditures, and only if a long-term forecast shows that the operating deficit will not continue. In general, one-time revenues will be used only to support capital or other non-recurring expenditures. All fees and charges for each enterprise fund (i.e., Water and Wastewater) will be set at a level that fully supports the direct and indirect cost of the enterprise.
RESERVE POLICY The City’s enterprise funds shall maintain working capital equal to at least 90 days of operating requirements for the Water and Wastewater operating budgets. This will be evaluated as of June 30th of each fiscal year end. The City’s internal service funds shall maintain working capital of at least 60 days of operating requirements. This will be evaluated as of June 30th of each fiscal year end. The City’s general fund shall maintain a fund balance equal to 15% of the total expenditures appropriated for the following fiscal year. This will be evaluated and measured as of June 30th of each fiscal year end. Prior to the recession, any funds in excess of the required 15% fund balance were placed into the unallocated general fund capital improvement project account. During FY 2016-17, the City established a Pension Stabilization Trust Fund. Included in the resolution adopting the budget for FY 2017-18 was a change in the City’s
reserve policy wherein as of June 30, 2017, any surplus in excess of the required 15% reserve would be split equally and transferred one-half to the pension stabilization trust and one-half to the unallocated general fund capital improvement project account for future infrastructure type projects. This change in general fund reserve policy was reaffirmed as of June 30, 2019 with the adoption of the FY 2019-20 budget. The City strives to maintain its investment in capital equipment for vehicles and computers by utilizing internal service funds which “own” the vehicle, computer or server and “lease” it back to the user department throughout the useful life of the item. This practice is deemed prudent and will be continued for as long as is reasonably possible. Any action that significantly deteriorates the fund balance available for replacing capital assets must be approved by direction of the City Council. If it becomes necessary to utilize reserve funds for unique one-time costs, emergencies or maintaining City services during periods of reductions, appropriations should, when feasible, be accompanied by a plan for the replenishment within a reasonable period of time. Funding of reserves will come generally from one-time revenues, excess fund balance and projected revenues in excess of projected expenditures. They will generally be reserved in the following priority order:
1. Reserve for Economic Contingency or Emergencies
2. Reserve for Capital Improvements
3. Reserve for Future Years’ Budgets
However, flexibility will be retained to allocate available funds among the reserves based on current circumstances and needs of the City’s various operating funds.

GANN Appropriations
CITY OF YUBA CITY
GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FY 2020-21
In 1979, California voters approved Proposition 4 (Article XIII-B of the California State Constitution). Informally known as the "Gann Initiative," Article XIII-B provides limits regarding the total amount of appropriations in any fiscal year from "the proceeds of taxes." In 1980, the State Legislature added Section 9710 to the Government Code. This section states that the governing body of each city must establish, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the following year. The limit for any fiscal year is equal to the previous year's limit, adjusted for population changes and the change in the US Consumer Price Index (or California per capita personal income, if smaller). The necessary statistical information is provided by the California Department of Finance. The original Article XIII-B (Proposition 4) and its implementing legislation were further modified by SB88 and Proposition 111 (approved by the voters in June 1990). The changes were incorporated into the FY 1990-91 and FY 1991-92 Appropriations Limits. Beginning with the FY 1990-91 Appropriations Limit, a city may choose annual adjustment factors. The adjustment factors include the growth in the California Per Capita Income, or the growth in the non-residential assessed valuation due to construction within the city and the population growth within the county or the city. The following compares the difference between Yuba City's FY 2019-2020 Appropriations Limit and the estimated proceeds of taxes in the adopted FY 2020-2021 Annual Budget. It reflects a significant gap of $174,277,992. The City remains well below its Appropriations Limit for FY 2020-2021.

General Fund History and Projections
Fiscal Years 2010-11 Through 2024-25
This chart illustrates Yuba City’s recent, historical general fund revenues and expenditures and calls out notable global eras for budgeting. These eras all brought challenges and it has been healthy reserves and consistent salary savings which has kept Yuba City healthy and ready for the next fiscal challenge. Operationally, having significant salary savings indicates ongoing staffing shortages and our struggle to support city council’s priorities while maintaining seamless service to our community. COVID-19 is the most notable challenge for fiscal years 2019-20 and 2020-21, reducing Yuba City’s largest revenue source, sales tax, by 15 percent as discussed in greater detail in the revenue highlights section. The dip in expenditures in fiscal year 2020-21 reflects the diligence and dedication of city departments to reduce costs through finding creative solutions to making due with less on a short-term basis while keeping service levels high. Each department reduced at least 2.5 percent with the exception of Development Services. Council was deliberate in leaving this root department for economic development to speed the city’s economic recovery and development. The future, growing net revenue reflects leveling pension costs, during that timeframe, and optimism that sales tax will recover and continue the strong growth we were seeing up to fiscal year 2018-19 and the first half of 2019-20.

Debt Service
DEBT ADMINISTRATION In recognition of its responsibility for the management of debt obligations, the City of Yuba City has developed a comprehensive set of formal debt policies. These polices are considered critical to consolidating information on current outstanding obligations and to maintain a good credit rating. There are several reasons for a bond issuance involving the City and its component units: 1. Finance capital improvement projects; 2. Finance capital acquisitions; 3. Finance operating expenses (in certain
circumstances); and, 4. Serve as a conduit issuer for non-profit
organizations, private companies, and special districts within the City of Yuba City.
The primary objective of the City’s debt policies is affordability. This is measured by the ratio of annual debt service to revenue. The debt affordability level will vary on an annual basis in accordance with the economic conditions and revenues of the City. Another objective of the City’s debt policies is to minimize the cost of borrowing through credit rating, credit enhancement (bond insurance, letter of credit, or surety bond), refunding, and interest swaps. When issuing bonds, the City generally sells the bonds through either a competitive bid or a negotiated sale. Competitive bid sales procedures are utilized if the bond sale is expected to have adequate market interest to assure competitive pricing. Negotiated sales procedures are selected if the issue is complex or based upon other factors if the Finance Department concludes a competitive sale would be less effective. A financial advisor, underwriter, bond counsel, and disclosure counsel are usually used as part of issuing debt.
LEGAL DEBT MARGIN In California, debt issuers of general obligation bonds must comply with a State constitutional
debt limitation contained in Article XVI, Section 18, which requires two-thirds voter approval for all local government bond issues. In addition, the total general obligation bonds outstanding must not exceed 15% of the City’s assessed valuation.
SUMMARY OF OUTSTANDING DEBT Special Assessment District and Community Facility District Debt. The City establishes special assessment districts and community facility districts to finance various infrastructure improvements such as streets, water lines, sewer lines, drainage, etc. in the City. Limited Obligation Improvement bonds and Special Tax bonds are sold to finance the improvements. In some instances these bonds are purchased by the City as an investment while most often they are sold to the investment community through underwriters. These bonds are secured by liens on benefiting properties. Payments of principal and interest are remitted to the City three times a year via the Sutter County Tax Collector. The maturity dates of the bonds range from the current fiscal year through the year 2035. Special assessment and community facility district debt are not shown in the City’s Debt Summary because they are secured by properties within the districts and are not an obligation of the City. Revenue debt supported by Water Fund Revenues. The City issued $25.6 million in revenue certificates in October 2005 to finance the expansion of the water treatment facility. The certificates are secured by the net revenues realized by the City’s water fund. The certificates will be fully retired in fiscal year 2035. In May, 2013, the 2005 revenue certificates were refunded and were replaced by 2013 revenue bonds. The original refunding principal amount was $21,710,000, resulting in net present value interest savings of $1.2 million over the remaining term of the bonds. Revenue Certificates supported by Wastewater Fund Revenues. The City issued $12 million in revenue certificates in June of 2000 and $11 million in August of 2002 to
70
Debt Service
finance the capital improvements identified in the wastewater system master plan. Payments on the certificates are secured by the net revenues realized by the City’s wastewater fund. The certificates will be fully retired in fiscal years 2025 and 2032, respectively. In June 2007, the 2000 revenue certificates were refunded and were replaced by 2007 revenue certificates. The original refunding principal amount was $10,455,000, resulting in net present value interest savings of $0.5 million over the remaining term of the bonds. In November, 2011, the 2002 revenue certificates were refunded and were replaced by the 2011 revenue refunding bonds. The original refunding principal amount was $9,715,000, resulting in net present value interest savings of $0.6 million over the remaining term of the bonds. In April, 2014, the 2007 revenue certificates (originally issued as the 2000 revenue certificates) were refunded and were replaced by 2014 revenue refunding bonds. The original refunding principal amount was $7,321,914, resulting in net present value interest savings of $0.8 million over the remaining term of the bonds. In October, 2017, the 2011 revenue refunding bonds were refunded and were replaced by 2017 certificates of participation. The original refunding principal amount was $9,065,639 resulting in net present value interest savings of $1.4 million over the remaining term of the bonds. In September, 2018, the City issued $23.43 million in 2018 wastewater revenue bonds to finance improvements to the wastewater treatment facility including digester improvements; the replacement of digester covers with new stainless steel covers; dewatering improvements including construction of a new dewatering facility to replace the existing dewatering belt press; replacement of an existing barscreen; electrical and instrumentation updates, including plant-wide replacement of old motor control centers, transformers and programmable logic controllers

In May, 2010, the City borrowed funds from two State Revolving Fund loans from the State of California for the former Hillcrest area to convert customers from groundwater to the City’s surface water system. The loan amounts were $6.8 million for Region 1 and $19.1 million for Regions 2/3. Repayment will be made from a combination of monthly water rate revenues, a special surcharge approved by the customers and future development connection fee revenues. State Water Resources Control Board Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF). In October, 2011, the City borrowed $6.5 million from a State Revolving Fund loan from the State of California which included principal forgiveness of up to $3,000,000 for funding wastewater treatment facility capital improvement projects including oxygen reactors improvements and installation of new 12 kV switchgear improvements. The remaining $3.5 million in debt is a low interest loan at an interest rate of 2.2%. Repayment will be made from a combination of monthly water rate revenues and other related fees. State Water Resources Control Board Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF). In April, 2012, the City borrowed $10.2 million from a State Revolving Fund loan from the State of California which included principal forgiveness of up to $3,000,000 for funding the wastewater collection system rehabilitation and replacement project. The remaining $7.2 million in debt is a low interest loan at an interest rate of 1.8%. Repayment will be made from a combination of monthly water rate revenues and other related fees. Tax Allocation Bonds – Redevelopment Agency. The former Yuba City Redevelopment Agency (now Successor Agency) issued $20.7 in tax allocation bonds in July of 2004 for project funds and to retire $9.065 million in 1996 Series A & B bonds and a Rural Economic Development Infrastructure Program loan.

These bonds are special obligations to the agency and are payable from and secured by tax revenues. The 2007 Series bonds will be retired in 2039. In December, 2015, the outstanding Redevelopment Agency tax allocation bonds were refunded. This included both the 2004 Series A and B and the 2007 Series. The refunded bonds were replaced by the 2015 tax allocation bonds in the amount of $31,545,000 issued at an interest rate of 3.59% resulting in net present value interest savings of $4.8 million over the remaining term of the bonds. Street Light Conversion Loan. The City entered into a loan agreement with the State of California Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to finance the City-wide conversion of high pressure sodium (HPS) street lights to light-emitting diode (LED) technology. The total amount borrowed was $1,345,487 and will be repaid through fiscal year 2027 at 3.0% interest from actual energy cost savings. California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (CIEDB). The City borrowed $1.9 million utilizing a low interest loan through the State to facilitate construction of the Sunsweet/Highway 99 intersection improvements. This included traffic signal installation, undergrounding and installation of utilities including water, sewer and storm drainage installation, which resulted in connecting Walton Road to State Route 99. This is being repaid with former Redevelopment tax increment funds and a community facilities district. Gauche Park Certificates of Participation. The City issued $12.5 million in certificates to help finance the new Gauche Aquatics Facility.
The project included expanded picnic and barbeque facilities, passive areas, climbing boulders, a sand volleyball court, age appropriate play structures for 2 to 5 year children and 6 to 12 year old youth and a small amphitheater. The project also included construction of a 25 yard 10 lane competitive pool, a play/instructional pool that goes from zero feet to three feet, a lap pool feature and a 25 foot water slide. The 10,102 square foot indoor space included a reception area, restrooms, and locker rooms for men, women and families.

The City reports 100% of the employer payment of member contributions (EPMC) for Classic Members (excluding the Fire and Local 1 bargaining units). No EPMC benefits are paid for new PERS Members (Eff. Jan. 1, 2013). Effective July 1, 2015, Classic PERS members will cost share 9% (Safety)/8% (Misc. Tier 1)/7% (Misc. Tier 2) of the employer contribution rate. The City’s PERS plan is as follows:
Miscellaneous Tier 1: 2.7% @ 55 (Hired through June 30, 2012) Tier 2: 2% @ 55 (Effective July 1, 2012) Tier 3/PEPRA: 2% @ 62 (Effective January 1, 2013)

Post-Employment Health-Care: The contribution amount paid by the City will be determined each year by what the City’s maximum health insurance contribution is for “Employee Only” for non-retired Executive Management employees. The retiree will be responsible for the difference based on the City’s Contribution. Required for qualification: 5 years of City service and are of full retirement age. In addition, the City has chosen to contract with CalPERS to provide health benefits to our POA & Police Sergeants employees and annuitants under PEMCHA. The City of Yuba City has designated the PEMHCA Minimum as their contribution. Professional Development: The Tuition Reimbursement Program is designed to encourage employees to actively pursue higher education to improve their knowledge and skills in current job-related areas and other career fields within City service. For most groups within the City, the City pays $5,000 towards tuition, parking fees, class presentation materials, and other educationally related materials, fees or supplies. The City pays $150 towards books annually for job-related courses. Non-job-related courses are paid at 50% (subject to approval). Deferred Compensation: A section 457 plan is available to full-time employees. The City contributes $50 per month for First Level Managers, Fire Management and Police Sergeants. The City contributes $100 per month to Mid-Managers and Confidential employees. The City contributes $200 per month for the Executive Staff employees. Retirement Health Savings Plan: The Fire Management Association contributes 2% of their earnings to the plan each year. The Firefighters’ Union contributes 3% of their earnings to the plan each year. Life Insurance: The Employee benefit amount (dependent upon Bargaining Unit MOU) and $2,000 for dependents are paid by the City. The Employee can elect supplemental dependent coverage at the employee’s cost. Bilingual Pay: The City will pay bilingual pay incentive for employees who demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language, based on the City’s needs.

Revenue Highlights
This section of the budget describes the resources that are available to support the proposed operating and capital budget. Yuba City will receive revenues in the form of taxes, fees, and other revenue sources to support its operational and capital expenses during FY 2020-21. This narrative focuses on the comparisons between year-end revenue projections and the budget year projections. The following is a brief explanation of these revenue sources.
Property Taxes Property taxes are imposed on real property (land and permanently attached improvements, such as buildings) and tangible personal property (movable property) located within the City. The tax is imposed at a rate of one percent of the property’s assessed value. Property taxes are projected using the following factors:
The City’s historical property tax revenue trends.
Recent and projected housing and commercial construction.
County assessed values for properties in the City.
A modest increase in the average sales price of existing homes in the region, thereby resulting in a higher new assessed value.
Known County adjustments to the assessed values from appeals and reassessment adjustments.
Annexations to the City.
Secured Property tax revenue in the General Fund is projected to increase by $135,400 or 1.7% higher than the current year-end projection. The increase in property taxes is attributable to increases due to the CPI adjustment and increases in assessed valuations due to increasing values in the real estate market, but is reduced by a small quantity of parcels within the City that remain with a Proposition 8 reassessments downward and by reduced sales due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Unsecured property taxes are expected to generate $34,600 more in FY 2020-21 and property tax in lieu of VLF is projected to be $207,700 higher. These increases represent the growth anticipated in property taxes overall.
Sales & Use Taxes Sales & Use Taxes are imposed on retailers who sell goods within the State or on users in the State of California for property purchased outside of the State. The tax is based on the sales price of any taxable transaction of tangible personal property. Through December 31, 2015, because of implementation of the “triple flip,” Yuba City received its sales tax revenues from two separate sources, the State Board of Equalization and Sutter County. Three quarters of one percent of the sales and use taxes collected by the State Board of Equalization (SBOE) were allocated back to Yuba City for general purposes. One quarter of one percent was allocated back to Yuba City based on an estimate provided by the State Controller’s Office to Sutter County per the provisions of the State’s “triple flip” allocation. The City tracks revenues received from the County and the State separately. In accordance with the California Committee on Municipal Accounting (CCMA) White Paper, the City adopted the 7 ½ month accrual process for sales tax revenue recognition. Therefore, the City’s projected sales tax revenues are based upon taxable sales generated during the fiscal year. The impacts of the triple flip ended on December 31, 2015, when the State’s Economic Recovery Bonds were paid off early. Beginning January 1, 2016, the City once again began receiving the full one percent of sales tax allocation from the Board of Equalization. During the final year, FY 2015-16, cities in California received a one-time increase in sales tax revenues equal to approximately 6% of total sales tax revenues due to receipt of a clean-up payment. In Yuba City’s case, this amount was $823,800. This

Revenue Highlights
revenue was one-time in nature and was tied to the elimination of the triple flip. It will not reoccur in future years. Yuba City therefore recorded it into a separate, stand-alone revenue account and identified it as one-time in nature in revenue schedules. Sales tax revenue is projected to decrease by $2,195,300 in FY 2020-21 based on retail sales being affected by the global closing of the economy in response to the pandemic. Staff is projecting a $1.3 million sales tax revenue budget shortfall (9%) by the close FY 2019-20 and are expecting to adjust the FY 2020-21 budget amount once 2nd quarter results are in for calendar year 2020. The Wayfair decision has produced large, 10-15 percent gains in online retail sales tax into the county pool through the 1st quarter of 2020, offsetting the losses in FY 2019-20 and will do the same at the start of FY 2020-21. Governor Newsom’s executive orders to allow sales tax payment deferrals are expected to result in $313,000 of deferred payment receipts by September 30. Staff cannot determine how many businesses may not return after economic closures, but the CDTFA has explained their ability to collect these deferrals to staff’s satisfaction. Another component of the California Sales Tax is the one-half percent collected under Proposition 172 (Local Public Safety Augmentation Fund). Proposition 172 was first created in 1993 to provide additional funding for public safety services. Proposition 172 revenues are projected to decrease by $43,200 for FY 2020-21, following the same reasoning as the Bradley Burns sales tax.
Franchise Fees Franchise Fees are collected from utility companies and other businesses within the City for the use of public rights-of-way. Currently, the City collects from four companies: Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Recology Yuba-Sutter, Comcast Cable and AT&T. PG&E is charged the higher of either 2.0% of the gross receipts attributable to miles of line within the City
(Broughton Act Computation) or 0.5% of the gross receipts collected within the City (1937 Act Computation). Recology Yuba-Sutter is charged at a rate of 5% of gross receipts. Comcast Cable is charged at 5% of gross annual revenues. Franchise Fee revenues are projected based on how well the local economy is doing, population estimates, demand for services, and other related information. Franchise Fee revenues are projected to increase by $111,000 or 2.0% compared to the current year-end projection.
Business License Taxes Business license taxes are charged to all businesses that are located within the City limits and/or conduct business within the City. Taxes are determined by a percentage of the business’ gross receipts. Revenues are estimated to increase by $85,700 (or 8.1%) over the FY 2019-20 year-end projection.
Hotel/Motel Surcharge Visitors to Yuba City who stay in the City’s hotels, motels, and inns for a period of less than thirty days pay the Hotel/Motel Surcharge. Currently, the tax rate for the Hotel/Motel Surcharge is 10% of the price of the room. Revenues for FY 2020-21 are expected to decrease by approximately $206,000, or 27.0%, compared to the FY 2019-20 year-end projection due to COVID-19 response and restrictions.
Motor Vehicle License Taxes
(Vehicle License Fees) The fee is termed an “in-lieu” fee because it is imposed instead of a local property tax on the ownership of a vehicle. Previously cities such as Yuba City received a portion of the fees collected based on the City’s population. This revenue source was eliminated by the State of California in FY 2011-12. The City received between $210,000 and $300,000 per year previously. The City has continued to receive clean-up payments so revenues are projected at
87
Revenue Highlights
$38,900 for FY 2020-21 but at some future date these revenues will be zero going forward. The Vehicle License Fees (VLF) were divided into two categories, those received directly from the State based upon the historical in lieu amounts (now eliminated and no longer a revenue source) and those received from Sutter County twice per year based upon the provisions of the State Controller’s Office. Beginning in 2005-06, the VLF in-lieu payments change based upon increases in the assessed values. On that basis, the amounts received from Sutter County are classified as “Property Tax in Lieu/VLF Swap” as part of “Tax Revenues”. As stated above in the property tax section, allocations received from Sutter County are projected to increase by $253,900 based upon expected increases in local assessed values.
Licenses and Permit Fees
Licenses and permit fees include building permit fees, plan check fees, and other smaller miscellaneous fees. Projections for these revenues are based on the recent and projected building activity, status of the local economy, past revenues received, population estimates, land resources, and other pertinent information. Licenses and permit fees are projected to increase by $86,800 compared to current year-end projections. Local projects have slowed during the pandemic. Staff sees building-related revenues to come in 10% less than budget for FY 19-20 while anticipating some canceled projects to be only deferred to FY 20-21, which will lift revenues slightly over prior year actuals.
Gas Tax & Local Transportation Fund
The State Gas Tax is derived from State of California taxes on gasoline purchases and is allocated to various governmental units based on prescribed methods. These funds are restricted to the construction, improvement and maintenance of public streets and related expenditures. When projecting Gas Tax revenue, past revenues received along with
estimates provided by the League of California Cities Policy Analyst’s website are used. Revenue is estimated to increase $94,900 or 6.4% more than current year-end projections. The increase is attributable to Section 2103 funds as projected by the State California Department of Finance statewide estimates. In April, 2017, the Governor signed SB1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 that provides substantial new and more stable funding for local streets and roads. This new funding source is referred to as the Road Maintenance and Repair Account (RMRA). This is expected to increase by $35,800 compared to the projected FY 2019-20 revenues. Revenue of $12.5 million included in Streets and Roads Other revenues is from grant revenues carried over into FY 2020-21 from the 5th Street Bridge Project. When the construction is complete, these revenues will not be continuing into the future. The Transportation Development Act (TDA) provides funding from the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) for the purpose of transportation and streets and roads projects. Funding is derived from the one-quarter cent sales tax collected in each county. The funds are then apportioned on a per capita basis to the jurisdictions within the county. Once all transportation needs have been met, the remaining funds can be used for streets and roads projects (as is the case for Yuba City). LTF revenues are projected to increase by $84,600, or 5.0% for FY 2020-21. Yuba City’s allocation from this tax-derived, streets maintenance source of funds is expected to be over $1 million this coming fiscal year, however the funds will remain with Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) until the City identifies and is prepared to implement new projects.
User Fees/User Charges
User fees/charges are payments in exchange for specific public services consumed. Examples of user fees are recreation fees and water and wastewater charges. Revenue projections for user fees/charges are based on the City’s
88
Revenue Highlights
history of both revenue generation and consumption, the implementation phases of water and wastewater rate studies, recent and projected building activity, the status of the local economy, and other pertinent information. Revenues from this category are projected to increase by $43,200 or 3.1% compared to budgeted revenues for FY 2019-20. The increase is the result of the net changes in these three areas:
A decrease of $14,200 in traffic safety revenues due to a decrease in parking citations issued and parking enforcement efforts as focus has shifted pandemic response.
An increase of $700 is expected in water operating fund revenues with a steadily growing residential customer base, but no rate increases and a small increase in water conservation due to large industrial users slowing operations during the pandemic.
A decrease of $246,900 in wastewater operating fund revenues, also due to industrial user production and discharge affected by COVID-19 shutdowns.
Other Revenue Sources Cost Allocation Charges - General Fund. These are charges derived from allocating the General Fund’s administrative and support service costs to specific non-General Fund Departments. For example, the Water and Wastewater funds pay a charge for the services rendered from the Finance/Information Technology, Human Resources, Administration, and the Public Works Departments on their behalf. The charges include allocation of a percentage of each position’s salary and benefits, and a percentage of the supplies and services provided. During FY 2019-20 the City once again updated both its citywide cost allocation plan and its Public Works cost allocation plan to evaluate the true cost of services provided by service departments to other City departments. The projected FY 2020-21 user charges have been adjusted to reflect the findings of the cost allocation plan study.
Compared to the FY 2019-20 projected, the FY 2020-21 cost allocation charges will increase by $515,800 or 6.3%. The increase in cost allocation charges is attributable to the net impact of: An increase in water ($132,500), an increase in wastewater ($157,000) operations charges, an increase ($224,700) in cost allocation to capital improvement projects for reimbursements for engineering staff working on projects, a decrease in parks maintenance staff cost allocations to landscape maintenance districts ($13,900), an increase ($166,300) in Streets and Roads cost allocations charges, an increase in traffic safety ($50,000), and a decrease ($104,600) in cost allocations to the transportation development act fund. The City evaluates the full cost of services provided as shown in the City’s updated Cost Allocation Plans. City staff monitors time spent on development related activities, capital improvement projects, successor redevelopment agency activities and landscape maintenance district activities to reimburse the General Fund for the fully burdened cost of services provided. For those services that recapture cost through charging fees, the overhead module provides data that enables full cost recovery accounting. The analysis of this data determines the percent of tax and fee support for each activity. A summary “Cost Allocation Budgeting” table follows the History of General Fund graphs. Cost Allocation Charges - General Liability Fund. These charges have two criteria that are used for development: 1. Claims loss history (over a 5-year period). 2. Exposure based on payroll costs. Once
these charges are developed, they are spread among all the departments in order to cover the FY 2020-21 General Liability and property insurance payments.
The total amount allocated for General Liability is $535,900 greater in FY 2020-21 than is projected at year end for FY 2019-20, or 62.6%. The deposit required for liability insurance is increasing $57,300 and property insurance will increase by $143,600.
89
Revenue Highlights
The City has historically received dividend refunds for having a positive fund equity position within the self-insurance fund. The City looks at the balance in the general liability fund and uses a portion of the funds reserved from prior year dividend payments each year to offset a portion of the charges to departments. This has resulted in a reduction of user charges to departments of $50,000 in three recent years (FY 2014-15 through FY 2016-17), none were utilized in the FY 2017-18 budget year, approximately $9,600 was utilized in FY 2018-19 and approximately $240,000 was utilized in FY 2019-20. The City strives to maintain a stabilization reserve where excess reserves are used over time rather than all at once. In FY 2020-21, departments must contribute $106,000 due to the sharp rise in property liability coverage. The municipal property liability market has been hit very hard with recent, catastrophic events such as hurricanes, floods, and fires. Cities are left with few options other than paying higher premiums to retain coverage. Cost Allocation Charges – Worker’s Compensation Fund. These charges are based upon the City’s required contribution into NCCSIF (Northern California Cities Self Insurance Fund) for worker’s compensation coverage. The deposit required each year includes several components, a banking layer, a shared risk layer, excess coverage insurance and administrative costs. Significant prior year claims costs have caused the charges to user departments to increase through FY 2018-19, but in FY 2019-20 they decreased from the prior year budgeted amount by 22.7% before increasing by $182,000, or 15%, in FY 2020-21. Between FY 2013-14 and FY 2017-18, the City experienced an increase in worker’s compensation claims, both in the number of them and the cost of them. In FY 2020-21, an increase in the deposit required is $148,400. The City received dividend refunds in previous fiscal years when a positive overall fund balance was held within NCCSIF. In the current year, the City is receiving $95,709 in dividends which includes the net of a refund of $24,038 from the shared risk layer and $71,671 from the banking layer. In addition, the City had sufficient
reserves within the worker’s compensation self- insurance fund so $250,000 of reserves were used to reduce charges to City departments. Without these reductions, costs would have been even higher. Prior year costs allocated to departments were also partially reduced by using reserve funds to buy down the costs charged to City departments. Charges were reduced by $250,000 in recent years (FY 2014-15 through FY 2016-17). No reduction was made in FY 2017-18 or FY 2018-19. The City has increased efforts in safety training and regularly shares more information regarding the types of claims experience occurring with affected departments in an effort to bring costs back down. Cost Allocation Charges - Vehicle Maintenance/Replacement Fund. For the Vehicle Maintenance Fund, projected charges are developed using departments’ historical vehicle maintenance costs (parts & labor). For the Vehicle Replacement Fund, replacement costs for the City’s current vehicle fleet are allocated to the applicable departments by dividing the current replacement costs for the vehicle(s) by the vehicle’s remaining useful life. Both the Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement Fund record an expenditure in the appropriate department’s budget with corresponding revenue being recorded in the Vehicle Maintenance/Replacement Fund. The Vehicle Replacement Fund charges have decreased by $61,500 for FY 2020-21. This decrease is the net impact of an increase of $56,900 in water and a decrease of $4,500 in wastewater enterprise funds and is attributable to extending the useful life of fully funded equipment before replacing. The Vehicle Maintenance Fund had an increase in charges of $180,000. This increase was attributable to increasing charges to both the general fund ($64,100) and the wastewater fund ($59,600) while the water enterprise fund declined ($83,100).
Contributions from Other Funds Each year revenues are contributed to funds to offset staffing, equipment, and CIP projects. For example, a portion of Gas Tax revenues are transferred to the General Fund to offset the
90
Revenue Highlights
cost of engineering and other support personnel for road construction projects. Also, funds are transferred from the following funds to provide funding for the City’s CIP projects: Streets & Roads Fund, Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund, CDBG Fund, and Impact Fee Funds.
Interest Income The City earns interest income by investing its idle cash. The City’s goal is to achieve a competitive rate of return of its idle funds while protecting the safety of those funds. Idle funds are invested within the parameters stated in the City’s Investment Policy, as approved by the City Council. Interest income is conservatively projected based on idle cash balances throughout the year and the market rate of interest. It is anticipated that interest earnings in FY 2020-21 will decrease slightly or remain flat because investment returns are volatile in the pandemic environment.

History of General Fund Major Revenue Sources
__________________________________________________________
Property tax is imposed on real and tangible property located within the City. By definition, this tax is based on property value rather than on a fixed amount or benefit. Property values are assessed at full cash value (indexed from 1975-76 dollars using the Consumer Price Index (CPI), not to exceed 2% per year). The Sutter County Assessor determines the value of the property. The exception is public utility property, which is assessed by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). Article XIII, Section 1(a) of the California Constitution (commonly known as Proposition 13) limits the real property base tax rate to 1% of the assessed property value (subject to annual growth limitations of 2%) and prohibits the enactment of additional taxes to the sale of real property.
Property tax is one of the City’s two largest General Fund revenue sources. For FY 2020-21, property tax is projected to be $14,303,800 or 33.1% of the total General Fund financing sources.

History of General Fund Major Revenue Sources
________________________________________________________
In accordance with the California Revenue and Taxation Code and the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law of 1955, the State imposes a 7.25% sales and use tax on taxable sales in the City. The City receives 1% of the sales tax and the other 6.25% tax goes to the State and other local governments. As of July 1, 2004 the local government portion of the statewide rate decreased by .025% and the State portion increased by .025%. In turn, the State “backfilled” the decrease in the local government portion with a commensurate amount of property tax revenues. The net effect is that the City continues to receive 1% of the sales tax, as before. The chart above combines both components of sales tax (the 0.75% local share and the property tax in lieu of sales tax backfill) in order to capture 10 years of trend data. As of December 31, 2015, the triple flip ended and the City once again receives 1% of the sales tax from the State Board of Equalization. The elimination of the triple-flip in FY 2015-16 resulted in an increase of approximately 6% in sales tax revenues for California cities. These one-time revenues were $823,835 for Yuba City and are included in the FY 2015-16 amount shown above.
Sales tax is one of the City’s two largest General Fund revenue sources. For FY 2020-21, sales tax is projected to be $11,503,300 or 26.6% of the total General Fund financing sources.

Building
SERVICE DESCRIPTION
Building provides residents, business owners and visitors to the City with peace of mind by ensuring the buildings they live, work and visit are safe. As "first preventers" we ensure compliance to minimum fire-life safety standards by providing review and inspection of construction projects within the City. Additionally, Building provides Code Enforcement services that are aimed at ensuring safe and attractive neighborhoods.
FY 2019-2020 ACCOMPLISHMENTS The building department was active issuing
a total of 4358 permits with a valuation of $76,421,732. This includes 49 new single-family dwellings, 9 new commercial buildings and the remainder of the permits being additions, alterations, repairs.
Code Enforcement responded to
approximately 1,001 cases. The City continues to receive voluntary compliance to resolve the majority of complaints.
Code Enforcement has developed an
intentional plan to inspect vacant properties and then communicate with property owners any need for weed abatement. This has caused a reduction in the properties that have dry “fire hazard” weeds later in the summer months.
Code Enforcement has worked with multiple
departments/agencies within the Regional Homeless Outreach committee to develop the Homeless Engagement and Response Team. The team is working through the processes to implement a coordinated effort to reach out to the homeless community within our larger community.
FY 2020-2021 INITIATIVES Develop new processing methods aimed at
streamlining the building permit and plan check processes. This would include online electronic plan submittal and review.

contractors, and developers regarding the
new 2019 California Codes that will take effect January 2020.

procedures to implement the new “no camping ordinance”
Implement a new ordinance to expedite the
plan check and permitting process for (ADU’S) accessory Dwelling Units.
Continue to work with the police department
homeless liaison officer to interface with the homeless populace. The intent is to assist this population towards permanent housing and receiving services to meet their needs.
Continue to meet with surrounding
jurisdictions to discuss current code questions and have consistent code interpretation.
Continue to work side-by-side with the
California State licensing Board to ensure compliance for unlicensed contractors and unpermitted structures.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PERFORMANCE MEASURES
1. Approve 100% of plan reviews within three
plan check reviews or less. Staff will meet with the applicant, owner, designer or contractor to explain corrections/concerns if plan reviews go beyond three reviews.
2. Ensure that 100% of inspections are made
within 24 hours of initial request with reduced staff levels.

Police Administration
MISSION STATEMENT
To work in partnership with the community toward the goals of protecting life and property, solving neighborhood problems and enhancing the quality of life in our City.
SERVICE DESCRIPTION The overall responsibility for effective and efficient operation of police services within the City of Yuba City is coordinated by, and ultimately the responsibility of, Department Administration. By State law, the Chief of Police is the responsible officer. Much the same as any large organization, the Chief benefits from the assistance of his senior commanders; engagement in participative management; gaining guidance from the City Manager, City Council and the citizens we serve. The Police Administrative Unit sets the Department on a strategic focus. Collateral activities of the Unit include Business and Records Management, operation of the Office of Public Responsibility and legislative coordination of issues at the State and Federal levels of government with potential impact on the members of our community.
STRATEGIC ISSUES
1. Instill and reinforce the ethical principles and quality values that professional law enforcement is known for in all our new police employees.
2. Implement and/or modify as required, our
Strategic Plan document to effectively plan for personnel and infrastructure enhancements in order to adequately address the needs of our expanding City population. Continue to evaluate and update a plan to facilitate the process of providing police services to all areas of the City inclusive of those currently provided service by the Sutter County Sheriff’s Department.
3. Continue to keep our focus on creating viable
community partnerships and engaging in effective problem solving with the ongoing goal of continued excellent customer service.
4. Continue to incorporate and expand our Community Policing Coordinator services into our philosophy of community based policing. Increase department’s social media presence.
5. Foster continued principles of individual
and group accountability by virtue of COMPSTAT/Intelligence led Policing (Monthly meetings involving representation of all Police Department groups, examining crime patterns, areas of concern, internal procedures which can be improved and evaluation of created action plans). This is done with the belief in mind that the absence of crime is the best evaluator of police performance.
6. Track technology advancements, which
could enhance our effective and efficient delivery of police service and/or benefit officer safety. Look for and apply for grants as they become available, with a special attention towards non-matching fund grants.
7. Continue to evaluate community needs and
balance with cities economic status to provide the best quality service that is possible, while maintaining trust and partnership with our citizens.
8. Prepare department through community education, preparation and resources to provide police services to the South Yuba City Area.
FY 2019 - 2020 ACCOMPLISHMENTS With the current economic situation, the
department continued to prioritize services to operate with reduced numbers of positions. As such, alternative scenarios have developed which will result in the five-year plans being extended out for a couple of years to allow the economic concerns to stabilize.
Despite the loss of State funding, the
department has continued to operate our
160
Police Administration
regional Narcotic and Gang Task Force. We work in partnership with our local law enforcement allies in maintaining and modifying this invaluable program.

schools. The Records department processed over 10,000
police reports and over 1700 subpoenas. Tracked 1971 alarms, 99% were false alarms, and
processed corresponding false alarm billings. This significantly reduced patrol calls for service for false alarms.
Received over 211,000 phone calls to our
Communications Center; 32,214 were 911 calls. Applied for and received over $200,000 of grant
money from Federal and State agencies. This money was used for alcohol, drug, and traffic enforcement.

Police Administration
Provide leadership opportunities to staff in order to maintain succession planning. Make Leadership Academy and UC Davis Leadership courses available to deserving employees in order to address Mission Statement of City (Quality Service, Leadership and Innovation).
Work in Partnership with our Regional Allies
(Sutter County Sheriff, Sutter County Fire, and Yuba City Fire) to enhance our regions ability to respond to emergencies. Conduct trainings and emergency scenarios in order to better prepare our region.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PERFORMANCE MEASURES
1. Enhance community safety by reducing the
serious (Part 1) crime rate. We hope to establish a reduction in part I crimes that have seen a drop in rates of over 50% in the past ten years, but realize that the economy and the new realignment program (less people going to State Prisons) plays a significant role in this particular statistic.
2. Achieve a traffic enforcement index of 25%. This
is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommended number in order to decrease the number of injury accidents. The index is a ratio of hazardous citations to injury accidents.
3. Implement and develop a program to provide
personal video recorders to all of Patrol and Motor Officers. Currently reviewing available grant funding and department protocols.
4. Decrease Injury Collisions to less than 290.

Traffic Education and Enforcement
SERVICE DESCRIPTION The Traffic Education and Enforcement Unit is committed to providing safe transportation corridors, which allow various types of vehicles and pedestrians to safely share the public thoroughfares of our City. The Unit employs numerous programs to combat injury collisions. 1. The Suspended Traffic Offender Program
(STOP) targets suspended and unlicensed drivers. The majority of these drivers have been involved in traffic related incidents, resulting in license suspension. Studies have shown this program has a major impact toward reducing alcohol related and hit and run collision incidents. This program follows the guidelines set forth in California Vehicle Code Sections 14602.6 and 14607.6. These sections prescribe 30-day storage of vehicles driven by suspended or unlicensed drivers. To gain release of the vehicle prior to the 30 days, the registered owner can request a post storage hearing with the traffic sergeant by calling (530) 822-4795. Subsequent violations can result in forfeiture of the vehicle.
2. “Every 15 Minutes” is a two-day program
focusing on juniors and seniors in high school that challenges them to think about drinking, personal safety, and the responsibility of making mature decisions when lives are involved. This program requires nine months preparation by a committee composed of 30 community members.
3. The Neighborhood Speed Awareness (NSA)
program was designed to reduce speed in residential neighborhoods through a combination of education and enforcement. The program offers an alternative to court fines for speed violations in residential areas. Violators cited under this program attend a class presented by the police department designed to inform the driving public of the need for speed compliance. During the NSA course information is given to the students on braking distances, vehicle versus bicycle/pedestrian injuries and collision prevention techniques. Upon completion of
the class the department nullifies the citation. The program assures better driving habits through education and students are encouraged to talk to their friends/family about the class. Speed continues to be the leading primary collision factor for collisions in the City. In 2019, unsafe speed accounted for more than 31% of injury collisions. The Traffic unit conducted 12 NSA classes and more than 1247 speed offenders were issued NSA citations. Help make our neighborhoods safe for all and don’t speed.
4. Student Driver Awareness Program (SDA)
was developed in the model of the NSA program. The SDA involves targeting hazardous driving exhibited by teen drivers in areas around the schools. Problem areas are identified through a combination of citizen complaints and collision data. Student drivers issued a citation attend a two hour traffic education class after school. The course seeks to improve driving habits through education. Student drivers attending the program nullify their citation upon completion of the course. Only violations issued during directed enforcement operations in target areas qualify for the SDA program. 3 SDA classes were offered in 2019.
5. The Bicycle Enforcement and Education
Program (BEEP) is a first-time offender program designed to encourage youth under the age of 18 to comply with the law requiring helmet use. Bicycle Court is held at the police department and is conducted by the Sutter County Probation Department. Helmet use has increased due to this program, resulting in a reduction of injuries to bicyclists.
6. The Occupant Protection Program includes a
variety of education programs designed to reduce injuries associated to collisions. Occupant protection programs measures include Child Safety Seat Checkup Events and Bicycle Rodeos. Child Safety Seat Checkup Events are held within our community and enlist certified NHTSA Child Safety Seat Technicians working to teach caregivers how to properly install their car seat. Child Safety Seat Technicians also inspect child seats to ensure they are safe
164
Traffic Education and Enforcement
and there are no factory recalls. Bicycle Rodeos are held in local schools and aim to teach youth the rules of the road and to safely operate their bicycles. The traffic unit also receives funding through the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to replace some defective car seats and provide bicycle helmets at Bicycle Rodeo events.
7. The Department deploys four Speed feedback
Trailers to increase awareness and seek voluntary compliance with posted speed limits. Trailers are placed where a high occurrence of speed related collisions occur and/or in neighborhoods where residents report problems with speeding vehicles. If you are interested in requesting a Speed feedback Trailer for your neighborhood, please call (530) 822-4795 or visit the Yuba City Police Department web site at http://www.ycpd.org/ and click on the Traffic Education and Enforcement link.
8. The Traffic Education and Enforcement Unit
offers the following additional services:
Provide assistance with street closures for public events, traffic education for the general public and community service groups.
Conduct bicycle rodeos at sites open to the general public.
Provide traffic safety education (auto, bicycle and pedestrian) in the Yuba City Unified schools.

FY 2019-2020 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Continued participation in our regional anti-gang task force, the Yuba Sutter Anti-Gang Enforcement (YSAGE).
Continued to work closely with the
Sacramento Regional Terrorism Threat Assessment Center through the utilization of our terrorism liaison officers.
Continued to assign officers, sergeants, and lieutenants to geographic areas (beats) within our City to improve accountability and effectiveness.
Continued to pursue a zero tolerance policy
for gang activity. Patrol directed anti-gang enforcement details were conducted throughout the year in response to instances of gang activity.
Continued our partnership with Sutter
County Probation and the Yuba City Unified School District to deliver gang intervention training through the G.R.E.A.T. (Gang Resistance and Education Training) program.
The COMPSTAT process will continue to be
utilized to ensure accountability and responsibility throughout the department.
Continued our partnership with the Yuba Sutter CHP and other local law enforcement agencies to share information of stolen vehicles and other serious offenses.
Body Worn Cameras were issued to all patrol staff.
Continue to provide all sworn officers with a
U.S. military based combat first aid training program. The training allows officers to self-administer first aid for traumatic injuries sustained during rapidly evolving events such as active shooter incidents. The officers are provided with trauma equipment to be carried with them as part of their uniform safety equipment.
Continued to deploy the Critical Incident
Stress Management (CISM) program for the department on an as needed basis. This program uses specially trained employees to provide assistance and support to their peers after traumatic events.
Continued the deployment and use of surveillance cameras within the City. These cameras provide real-time monitoring and extensive recording capabilities which can be accessed via a smart phone app or internet link. The cameras can be relocated throughout the City as needed.
Added a third canine and handler to the Canine Program.
The Background Investigations and Field Training staff worked diligently to hire and train sworn and non-sworn staff.
Participated in “COUNT me in for Coffee,” Neighborhood Watch, National Night Out, and other community events and outreach efforts.
FY 2020 - 2021 INITIATIVES
To fill all vacant sworn officer positions. Hiring and training standards will be maintained to ensure professionalism and integrity.
The prevention of and response to gang
related crime will remain a top priority for the patrol division. The Division will continue to work in conjunction with the Yuba Sutter
174
Field Operations
Gang Task Force to deter gang related crime.
Continue to work in partnership with local
community groups and other government entities to identify and address quality of life issues in our community, including homelessness, as part of our City’s Clean and Safe Initiative.
Review, assess, and implement alternative
staffing schedules for field personnel in an attempt to identify and implement a schedule that is most effective and efficient to meet community and budgetary needs.
Continue to participate in “COUNT me in for Coffee,” Neighborhood Watch, and National Night Out events and community forums, as well as, other outreach efforts and community contacts.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PERFORMANCE MEASURES
1. Work towards achieving a violent crime rate
index of less than 30. Current staffing shortages present a challenge in maintaining the current trend in crime rate reductions. We will continue working as a collective force, utilizing all available data and effective planning, toward continued crime rate reductions.
2. Utilize all available data and effective
planning, toward keeping injury collisions below 300 and achieve a traffic index of 25 or more.
3. Officers will conduct at least 900 community
contacts to include “COUNT me in for Coffee” events, community forums, school visits, Neighborhood Watch meetings, business crime reduction meetings, and self-initiated security checks. This will become increasingly important as new schools, businesses and Neighborhood Watch teams become part of our local law enforcement jurisdictional area. This process will encourage involving citizens in crime
reduction techniques while introducing the officers to members of their community.

Performance Measure
*Measure 1 is the violent crime rate per 1,000 residents. Our ability to meet this performance measure was negatively impacted by a sworn officer staffing shortage and statewide legislative initiatives which significantly reduced the number and duration of prison and jail sentences. This impact will be lessened as officer vacancies in patrol and then specialty assignments throughout the department are filled. *Measure 4 is included in Measure 2. Traffic Index is a ratio of hazardous citations issued to injury / fatal collisions. Studies conducted by Northwestern University support the existence of a direct relationship to traffic enforcement and the reduction in injury collisions and is generally a measure of effectiveness of traffic safety in the United States. Our ability to meet this performance measure was impacted by a sworn officer staffing shortage within the patrol and traffic divisions. This impact will be lessened as officer vacancies in these divisions are filled.

Parks Maintenance
SERVICE DESCRIPTION The Parks Division is responsible for the maintenance and enhancement of 20 City parks, grounds around public buildings, and landscape maintenance districts; as well as, the Gauche Aquatic Facility, Blackburn-Talley Sports Complex, and 11,840 trees within the City’s urban forest.
FY 2019-2020 ACCOMPLISHMENTS The City received a Tree City USA
designation for the Twenty-first year in a row from the National Arbor Day Foundation in recognition of the City’s commitment to preserving and enhancing its urban forest.
The Parks Division continued to evaluate and resolve tree related hazards in parks, as well as City right-of-ways. Crews work day and night as needed during winter storm events to clear fallen trees from roads and walkways.
The Parks Division has added or replaced
179 trees and continued to work with homeowners on street tree issues in order to maintain a healthy urban forest.
On March 13th parks crew members
presented the 2020 Arbor Day Celebration to 54 1st graders at King Ave School. The teachers were asked to have the students make paper whirlybirds and color their name and a picture of their favorite tree on it. The whirlybirds were taken up 60 ft in the cities tree truck and released.
Staff continues to conduct daily playground
inspections and monthly recordings of the playground condition. This process will insure timely repairs resulting in a safe place to play for children.
Staff continues to maintain our softball
complex daily for our City league games, as well as preparing the Blackburn-Talley Softball Complex for weekend tournaments.
Parks staff trained and certified by the
National Swimming Pool Foundation continued to maintain Gauche Aquatic Park to ensure healthy and safe conditions seven days a week.
Staff continued to work with volunteer
groups, such as Yuba-Sutter Recology, Beale Air Force Base, High School Athletics, Master Gardeners, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Rotary, and Mormon Helping Hands. These groups have been very helpful in performing a variety of community service volunteer projects.
Parks staff continued to use iWorQ’s
Maintenance Management System and CMMS to track projects, work orders, and routine maintenance to find opportunities to be more efficient.
City staff, Sutter-Yuba Master Gardeners,
and volunteers, spend several days each year maintaining the “Water-wise Garden” at Gauche Aquatic Park. The garden serves as an example to the community of how to create a drought tolerate landscape.
The Parks Division continued to look for
new ways to “Go Green”.
The tennis courts at Sam Brannan Park were resurfaced, and two of the tennis courts were converted into 6 pickle ball courts that have been highly utilized.
Installed Centralized Irrigation Controllers in
11 parks, and 13 Landscape Maintenance Districts with grant and City funds. This saved 9,697,072 million gallons of domestic water in 2019.
Feather River Parkway trails have been cleared and roadways rebuilt after the high-water events of 2017.
FY 2020-2021 INITIATIVES
Continue utilizing the iWorQ’s Maintenance Management System to manage work flow and track operational productivity and accountability with the CMMS system and YC311.
234
Parks Maintenance
Continue to refine and improve the methods by which the Parks Division performs daily parks maintenance duties while looking for opportunities to improve productivity and efficiency.
Create and maintain an ongoing list of
volunteers and community service groups to assist with various community service projects that will enhance our parks system.
Parks staff will continue to provide and
improve customer service, ranking it at the highest level of importance.
Continue to encourage employee leadership
and development, and always be looking for new ways to be innovative.
Continue to support efforts of the
development of the future Harter Parkway Park.
Continue to encourage staff to attend
trainings in pesticide use, playground safety, and pool operations, and obtain certificates in all areas.
Continue noxious weed abatement and
refuse disposal at Feather River Parkway in order to encourage more usage and events in this natural environment.
Within the next two years the City has
committed to the planting of 500 new trees in disadvantaged areas throughout the City with funds from the Cal-Fire Grant.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PERFORMANCE MEASURES
1. Retrofit as many centralized irrigation
systems as possible to reduce water consumption in parks/facilities and landscape districts to further reduce water usage.
2. Continue to replace every tree that has been removed with another tree, in order to enhance our urban forest canopy.
3. Continue to improve green waste disposal operations by using chipped wood in planter areas along with utilizing more efficient mulching mowers to reduce green waste.

Laboratory
SERVICE DESCRIPTION
The laboratory provides analytical testing services to City residential customers, City Departments, and other municipalities, supporting both water and wastewater systems. The City of Yuba City owns and operates the only full-service state-certified laboratory in the Yuba-Sutter area. The Laboratory Division also includes the City’s Pretreatment Program.
STRATEGIC ISSUES
1. Exceptional Public Health and Safety:
The State Water Resources Control Board has certified the City laboratory in both drinking water and wastewater analysis. Having a local laboratory certified by the State helps the City provide exceptional service to maintain public health, safety, and welfare.
The Pretreatment Program identifies and measures pollutants being discharged to the Wastewater Treatment Facility by both domestic and industrial sources. By quantifying these pollutants, the Public Works Department can ensure the City stays in compliance with the Wastewater Treatment Facility NPDES discharge permit, provide employee safety, and prevent infrastructure damage.
2. Use of Technology: The City’s state-
certified laboratory is computerized to automate sample processing, data processing, report generation, and archiving. The use of technology is necessary in providing high quality services to the public.
3. Modern Instrumentation: The laboratory
utilizes advanced instrumentation systems to meet regulatory and customer demands. Automated laboratory equipment operating in conjunction with the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and computer network allows lab staff to quickly respond to internal and external customer needs.

Capital Improvement Program
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is the City’s comprehensive multi-year plan for the development of the City’s capital facilities and improvements. The plan outlines the capital projects that are expected to take place over the next five years. Capital projects usually involve high costs, take a year or more to complete, and result in the creation of a capital asset. The process of CIP preparation begins in January with key department heads and managers participating. The management staff develops their CIP proposals to satisfy the needs of the City while still working within the available resources of the operating funds that they would be drawing on. The updated plan is then presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for review and approval. The CIP budget document produced for the fiscal year 2020-2025 is presented under separate cover and may be viewed at http://www.yubacity.net/finance/budgets-cafrs.htm.
CIP FORMAT The Capital Improvement Program is divided into eight main sections: Summary Schedules, General Projects, Facilities Projects, Community Services Projects, Public Safety Projects, Streets Projects, Water Utility Projects, and Wastewater Utility Projects. The Summary Schedules section includes a summary of CIP projects by Fund. The lead department is noted and funding is broken down into carryover funds, FY 2020-21 funds and total project funds. Carryover balances include any unspent funds appropriated in prior budget years intended for use in the current fiscal year. The Projects sections are grouped by type as listed above, beginning with a summary of each section. Noted on each project sheet are the project title, estimated start and completion dates, project number, scope, project manager, and the lead department responsible for the completion and management of the project. The detailed descriptions for each project include tables identifying funding sources (multiple, if applicable) over all project years, and the
anticipated annual impact on the operating budget when applicable. A brief overview of major projects within each fund is outlined below.
GENERAL PROJECTS

Glossary
Account - A record of a monetary transaction maintained in the accounting ledger. It may be a classification of expenditure or revenue. Example: "Supplies" is an account in the Operations and Maintenance expenditure category. Accrual Basis - Sometimes called "full accrual" basis. A basis of accounting in which revenues are recognized when earned regardless of when they are received, and expenses are recorded at the time the liability is incurred, regardless of when it is paid. Accumulated Depreciation - The amount of depreciation that has accumulated to date during the existing useful life of City assets. Actual - A column heading in the budget. Figures found in the Actual column indicate actual financial information recorded for that time period. Ad Valorem Taxes - Revenue from taxes paid on real property and personal property which is calculated based on the “value” of the property. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Americans with Disabilities Act, Public Law 336 of the 101st Congress, enacted July 26, 1990. The ADA prohibits discrimination and ensures equal opportunity for persons with disabilities in employment, State and local government services, public accommodations, commercial facilities, and transportation. It also mandates the establishment of TDD/telephone relay services Appropriation - An authorization by the City Council to make expenditures and to incur obligations for a specific purpose. An appropriation is usually limited in amount as to the time when it may be expended. Assessment District - Not a separate government entity, but rather a defined area of land that will be benefited by the acquisition, construction or maintenance of a public improvement. Assessed Valuation - A value established for real property for use as a basis in levying
property taxes. For all agencies in the State of California, assessed value is established by the County for the secured and unsecured property tax rolls; the utility property tax roll is valued by the State Board of Equalization. Under Article XIII, Section 2 of the California State Constitution, property values are assessed at full cash value (indexed from 1975-76 dollars using the Consumer Price Index; increases not to exceed 2% per year). However, increases to full value are allowed for property improvements or upon change in ownership. Personal property is excluded from these limitations, and is subject to annual reappraisal. Audit - Prepared by an independent certified public accountant (CPA), the primary objective of an audit is to determine if the City’s Financial Statements present fairly the City’s financial position and result of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In conjunction with their performance of an audit, it is customary for an independent auditor to issue a Management Letter stating the adequacy of the City’s internal controls as well as recommending improvements to the City’s financial management practices. Beginning/Ending Fund Balance -Appropriated resources available in a fund from the prior/current year after payment of the prior/current year's expenses. This is not necessarily cash on hand. Bond - A city may raise capital by issuing a written promise to pay a specific sum of money, called the face value or principal amount, at a specified date or dates in the future, together with periodic interest at a special rate. Budget - A plan of financial operation listing an estimate of proposed applications or expenses and the proposed means of financing them for a particular time period. The budget is proposed until it has been approved by the City Council. Budget Message - Included in the opening section of the budget, the Budget Message provides the Council and the public with a general summary of the most important aspects of the budget, changes from previous fiscal

years, and the views and recommendations of the City Manager. Budgeting Basis - The budgeting basis for the City of Yuba City is modified from the accrual basis in that depreciation expense is shown as a footnote in the departmental budget, capital expenditures are shown as a use of resources (rather than an asset), and principal payments on debt are shown as a use of resources (rather than a reduction in a liability). Business License Tax - A type of excise tax imposed on businesses for the privilege of conducting business within the City. The tax is most commonly based on gross receipts or levied at a flat rate. California Public Employee Retirement System – The City contributes to the California Public Employee Retirement System (CalPERS), an agent multiple-employer public employee defined benefit pension plan. CalPERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by State statute and City ordinance. Capital Improvement - A permanent addition to the city's assets, including the design, construction, or purchase of land, buildings, or facilities, or major renovations of the same. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) - A financial plan of proposed capital improvement projects with single and multiple-year capital expenditures. This program plans for five years and is updated annually. Capital Outlay - Also called Capital Acquisition. A budget category which budgets all equipment having a unit cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life of one year or more. Capital Outlay is budgeted in the operating budget. Capital Projects - Physical structural improvements generally with a cost of $50,000 or more and a useful life of one year or more. Examples include a new park, building modifications, and water main construction.
Certificates of Participation (C.O.P) - Form of lease-purchase financing used to construct or acquire capital facilities and equipment. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) - Is a federal grant that aims to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded opportunities for persons of low and moderate income. The City of Yuba City receives an annual CDBG entitlement from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Cost Allocation – Overhead accounting provides for cost allocation of administrative and support service costs to service providing organizations. Allocation is based on different methods in unison or in combination, including expenditure budget amount, FTE’s (full time equivalent) employees and facility square footage. A weighting of overhead charges is further broken out for operational costs verses CIP. This service enables the City to determine the full cost of program budgeting and to recapture General Fund costs expended in contracting with outside agencies and in serving other funds of the City. Debt Service - Payment of the principal and interest on an obligation resulting from the issuance of bonds or notes. Debt Service Requirements - The amount of money required to pay interest on outstanding debt and required contributions to accumulate monies for future retirement of term bonds. Deficit - An excess of expenditures or expenses over resources. Department - A major organizational unit of the City that has been assigned overall management responsibility for an operation or a group of related operations within a functional area. Depreciation - The decrease in value of physical assets due to use and the passage of time.

Development Impact Fees - Fees placed on the development of land or conditions required for the approval of a development project such as the donation (dedication or exaction) of certain land (or money) to specific public uses. The fees are typically justified as an offset to the future impact that development will have on existing infrastructure. Encumbrances - A legal obligation to pay funds, the expenditure of which has not yet occurred. They cease to be encumbrances when the obligations are paid or otherwise terminated. Enterprise Funds - This fund type is used to account for operations that are: (a) financed and operated in a manner similar to private sector enterprises and it is the intent of the City that the costs (including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public be financed or recovered primarily through the user charges; or (b) the City or an outside grantor agency has determined that a periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses, and net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes. The City has established two enterprise funds: water and wastewater (see Fund). Expenditure - The outflow of funds paid or to be paid for an asset or goods and services obtained regardless of when the expense is actually paid. This term applies to all funds. Note: An encumbrance is not an expenditure; an encumbrance reserves funds to be expended. Fees - Charges for services levied by the government to recover costs associated with providing a service or permitting an activity.

Fund Description
FUND/ACCOUNT DESCRIPTIONS State Law and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establish the financial structure for cities. Governments allocate and account for resources in separate sub entities classified as funds and account groups, based on the purposes for which the resources are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.
GENERAL FUND The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is the largest of all the funds and accounts for all financial resources traditionally associated with governments, such as Police, Fire, Streets, etc. It accounts for everything except those items that are specifically required to be accounted for in another fund.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than expendable trusts and major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes or for which separate accounting is required by administrative action. Examples of the City's Special Revenue Funds include: Streets & Roads. Accounting for monies to be used on transit, road and street programs. Traffic Safety. Accounting for court fines collected on the City's account for moving violations.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in
a manner similar to private business enterprises. Where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expense, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes. The City maintains the following Enterprise Funds: Water Utility. Accounting for activity related to providing residents with water service and the billing for service provided by the City. Wastewater Utility. Accounting for activity related to providing collection and treatment of wastewater.
INTERNAL SERVICE FUND Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or other services provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis. The City's Internal Service Funds are: Vehicle Maintenance. Accounting for vehicle and special equipment maintenance. Funds are budgeted in operating budgets annually based on the prior year’s actual cost usage as a percentage of the fund’s overall budget. Vehicle Replacement. Funds are accumulated by depreciation expenses charged to the City departments based upon expected useful life and replacement costs and are expended only to purchase replacement vehicles in the existing fleet of City vehicles.
324
Fund Description
Employee Benefits. To account for the provision of health and unemployment services. Funds are budgeted in operating budgets annually based upon a composite rate for health coverage and other charges and allocated to each full-time equivalent position. General Liability.

Funds for the property/flood costs are allocated based on property values. Disability Program. The City of Yuba City is self-insured and is funded exclusively by employee contributions. All regular full and part-time (1/2 time or more) employees are eligible for inclusion. Technology Replacement. Accounting for the replacement of City computers upon expiration of their useful life. Also this fund is responsible for providing funds to maintain existing computer equipment through service contracts. Dental/Vision. Accounting for the provision of dental and vision services. Funds are budgeted in the operating budgets annually based upon an analysis of both the City’s claims history and reserves for vision and dental charges. The City’s costs are then allocated to each full-time equivalent position. Workers Compensation. Accounting for workers compensation coverage for the City. Funds are budgeted in the operating budgets annually based on the required premium by the Insurer in addition to the allocation rate based on projected payroll. The City of Yuba City is a member of the NCCSIF.

Yuba City at a Glance
History The most compelling landmark of Sutter County, and featured on Yuba City's logo, is the Sutter Buttes.
This miniature mountain range, which thrusts upwards about 2,100 feet, was valued by Northern California Indians, known as Nisenan, Wintun, and Patwin, as an important place to visit for hunting and gathering and ceremonies—as the Sutter Buttes are an important part of their creation story. The range is a perfect rosette circle, about 10 miles in diameter and encompassing about 80,000 acres, created by a series of volcanic eruptions 1.5 to 2 million years ago. Even today, people come from far and wide to celebrate the presence of this beautiful place.
In 1834, an adventurer named John Augustus Sutter left Switzerland, leaving everything behind, and set sail for America. Attracted by tantalizing reports about the West, he made his way to California. Upon arrival, Sutter became a Mexican citizen and
petitioned for, and was granted, land by the Mexican Government that covered territory now comprising the counties of Sacramento, Placer, Nevada, Sutter and the flatlands of Yuba County. Construction of Sutter's fort at New Helvetia began in 1841. Settlement quickly followed with Sutter officiating as the region's first developer. The fertile river valley had an abundance of game birds, fish, and wood for fuel and was viewed as paradise by the new settlers. Sutter provided jobs and services to virtually all of Northern California. He leased, and later sold, land east of the Feather River, where it joined the Yuba River, to
Theodor Cordua. Cordua's ranch and trading post, known as New Mecklenberg, eventually became Marysville.
West across the Feather River, John Bidwell managed Sutter's New Helvetia property, Hock Farm, the State's first organized agricultural endeavor. This land, currently occupied by Sierra Gold Nurseries on Garden Highway, was once home to the largest of Sutter County's Indian villages, the Hocks. The heyday of Sutter's prosperity ended the day when John Marshall, working at Sutter's sawmill in Coloma, discovered gold in its millrace in 1848. Samuel Brannan, a merchant and newspaper editor, quickly spread the word that there was gold in California. In July 27,1849, Sam
Brannan, Shasta County rancher Pierson B. Reading and Henry Cheever purchased land from a portion of Sutter's property known as Rancho Nuevo Helvetia. The trio hoped to lay out a town (that developed into the town of Yuba
City) that would become the distribution center for supplies going to the gold mines in the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains. By September 16, 1849, Reading and surveyor, Joseph Ruth, laid out the city in blocks and squares, leveling Indian burial mounds on the site. The name of that Indian Rancheria was Yubum (pronounced YOU-boom). The name appearing on the earliest map was "Yubu" and later changed to Yuba. (As in most historical situations, there is some discrepancy in the exact origin. Some claim that the name Yuba is a variant of the Spanish word "Uba or Uva" meaning grapes that were found growing wild along the banks of the river. When the residents of the rival community across the Feather River formed a city in 1850, they dropped the name Yubaville in deference to the existence of Yuba City, and instead named their town Marysville.

Yuba City at a Glance
There was always a great rivalry between Marysville and Yuba City. In 1851, the enterprising men of Marysville persuaded the steamer "Lawrence" to make Marysville the terminus of the route. Yuba City's promoters felt its future was secure because it sat on land higher than Marysville, and, considering its location at the confluence of the Feather and Yuba Rivers, would be safer in time of high water. Unfortunately, after a series of floods had hit Yuba City and not Marysville, traders and commerce chose Marysville as their center of trade. Marysville, located near the gold bearing foothills, soon became known as the "Queen City of the North." Many of Yuba City's residents and merchants relocated to Marysville, which they believed was destined to become the City of the future. One of those who had chosen to move was John R. Ridge, the rightful chief of the Cherokees, an accomplished writer and poet, and editor of the Marysville Herald. He wrote a poem that appeared in the Herald. The first and last stanza is printed below to illustrate the devastating effect on the young City and the prophetic vision of its future:
Yuba City Dedicate
By Yellow Bird The Yuba City silent stands
Where Providence has placed her, The glory passed to other hands,
That should have by right graced her. But Yuba City, time will cast
The changes in her favor; Then in redemption of the past,
Thou'lt stand, whilst others waver. The complete poem can be found on the granite monument behind City Hall, adjacent to Butte House Road.
By 1852, Yuba City had one hotel, a grocery store, a blacksmith, a post office, a Justice of the Peace, 12 saloons, approximately 20 dwelling homes and a population of about 150. In 1907, the town of Yuba City experienced a large fire that destroyed most of its business district in the area of Bridge and Second Streets. Community forces organized to incorporate Yuba City as a municipal corporation for the purpose of improving police and fire services, sewage disposal and sanitation, and animal control. In January 1908, Yuba City was incorporated as a City. The first municipal service to be initiated was a sanitation program. On March 10, 1908, the City Council appointed a scavenger by the name of Johnston to pick up garbage. For his services including the use of his horse and cart, he received $3.50 per day. The police department consisted of the elected Marshall and one night watchman. On May 17, 1909 the city purchased two nozzles, five hundred feet of hose and two hose carts; and later somebody donated a barn to be used as a firehouse and thus a fire department, manned by volunteers, was created. In February 1910, a program was initiated to start a municipal water district. In 1922, the sanitation department worked to create a sewer system. This was also the year when the first zoning ordinance was passed to protect the growing residential section. The end of World War II brought the first major surge of population to the Yuba City area. Orchards were transformed into new residential subdivisions and Yuba City began to grow west and south from its original center. By the late 1950's, a greater emphasis was placed on the region with Beale Air Force Base personnel contributing to the economy. As County Seat of Sutter County since June of 1856, Yuba City has been the center of agriculture and commercial activities in the county. The rest, as they say, is "history."

Yuba City at a Glance
Location Yuba City is located approximately 40 miles north of the state capital, Sacramento. Two of the State's major economic powerhouses (the San Francisco Bay Area, and Silicon Valley) are within a 2 to 3 hour drive from the City.
Yuba City has developed through the years as a pleasant, residential community, which is the trading and service center for the surrounding agricultural area. Currently the population within the City is 70,458. The area enjoys many natural and physical assets including attractive climate, level terrain, good highway and rail transportation, adequate water, soil and open land for future growth. In addition, the area offers an abundance of recreational, hunting and fishing areas for your enjoyment. Climate The area climate is typically one of warm, dry summers and moderately cold winters. Summer high temperatures range from the 80's to low 100's, and winter lows in the 30’s to high 50’s. Most of the annual rainfall occurs from late fall through the spring. City Government The City of Yuba City is a full-service General Law City located in the northern part of the Sacramento Valley. Yuba City operates under the Council-Manager form of government, with each of the five Council members elected at-
large and serving four-year, staggered terms. From among its members, the Council selects the City's Mayor and Vice Mayor every year. The City Council appoints a full-time City Manager whose job it is to carry out the Council's policy directives and coordinate, control and direct City operations, functions, and projects. In making its policy determinations, the Council works with advisory committees made up of citizens appointed by the Council, and receives other citizen input from the public at its regular and special meetings. The Council's business meetings are scheduled for the first and third Tuesday of each month in the Council Chambers at City Hall. Other special or study session meetings are scheduled as needed and are open to the public. The public is always invited and encouraged to attend.
