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.
Sam Brannan security improvements
The city's largest community park has become the top address for police calls in Yuba City, with drug overdoses in the bathrooms, harassment of Gray Avenue students, and reservations down over 50%. The council has now closed it temporarily while spending up to $265,000 on fencing, cameras, lighting, and cleanup to try to restore it as a safe public space.
