The City of Yuba City Council held a meeting on May 19, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions and significant budget deliberations. A key agenda item was the award of a construction contract for the Sutter Bike Path Gap Closure project. The council approved a $1.78 million contract to Maguire and Hester, along with a $280,125 contract for construction management and inspection services to Mark Thomas and Company, funded through a combination of state and federal grants and local transportation funds. Additionally, the council conducted a Proposition 218 public hearing on proposed water and wastewater rate increases necessary to cover rising operational and capital costs. After public comments expressing opposition due to affordability concerns, the council voted unanimously to adopt the rate adjustments and amend the municipal code accordingly. The meeting also featured proclamations for Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month and National Public Works Week, but no other procurement actions were noted.
