Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Yuba City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Sam Brannan Park closure and remediation
After the park's September 1 temporary closure over transient activity and safety fears, the council awarded a $348,000 fencing contract to reclaim the park. The dog park bid came in high ($110,000), so that piece will likely be rebid — possibly with community fundraising help.
DUI and Traffic Safety Enforcement
Yuba City ranks near the top among comparable cities for injury collisions and DUI arrests. Two grants totaling about $360,000 fund nearly monthly DUI checkpoints and roughly weekly saturation patrols — at no cost to the city.
