Yuba City Council Meeting 5-5-2026

The City of Yuba City Council held a meeting on May 5, 2026, addressing several community and municipal issues. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a 2% transaction fee on debit and credit card payments for water and wastewater services to recover processing costs, which passed despite public concerns about the financial burden on residents. The council also discussed traffic calming measures on Sanborn Road, considering options such as speed cushions and delineators, with staff directed to explore temporary solutions and develop a neighborhood traffic calming program for future implementation. Additionally, the council unanimously approved an amendment to the 2021-2029 General Plan Housing Element and adopted updates to the mobile open-air and sidewalk vending ordinance, including provisions for temporary use permits on private and public properties to regulate mobile vendors. These actions reflect ongoing efforts to manage city infrastructure, public safety, and regulatory compliance while balancing community input and fiscal responsibility.
