City Council Approves Special Tax Collection for CFD 92-1
The City Council approved the annual confirmation and collection of special taxes for Community Facilities District (CFD) Number 92-1 for fiscal year 2026-2027. This action authorizes the continued collection of a special tax originally approved in 1992. The methodology for calculating the tax varies based on the building permit issuance date, with older permits having a fixed annual tax and newer ones based on square footage plus a base amount. The tax term is 30 years, expected to conclude by 2034-35. The revenue is split, with the city receiving 33.33% for fire protection, law enforcement, recreation, streets, and other facilities, and the school district receiving the remainder for school sites and structures. For 2026-27, $105,000 is anticipated from 142 parcels, with $35,000 allocated to the city and $70,000 to the school district. The council adopted a resolution approving this collection.
City Council Approves Liens for Unpaid Refuse Collection Charges
The City Council reviewed and approved the confirmation of special assessments for delinquent mandatory refuse collection charges for the fiscal year 2026-2027, on behalf of Recology. This process involves placing liens on properties with unpaid charges, which are managed by Recology and then potentially assigned to the city for collection. Recology provides quarterly notifications for residential and monthly for commercial accounts. After no response, a lien process is initiated, including a public hearing notice. A total of 222 delinquent accounts were identified, amounting to approximately $71,000. The city collects an administrative fee of $44 per parcel. Council members noted an increase in delinquent accounts compared to the previous year, and the General Manager for Recology confirmed a rise of over 40 customers. The council adopted a resolution to confirm the assessments and direct the city manager to submit documentation to Sutter County.
City Council Approves Special Tax Increase for CFD 2004-1
The City Council approved the annual confirmation and collection of special taxes for Community Facilities District (CFD) Number 2004-1 for fiscal year 2026-2027. This action authorizes the continued collection of a special tax originally approved in 2004. The city has the ability to increase the tax by up to 5% annually, but for 2026-27, a 3.8% CPI inflation increase is proposed, resulting in an annual tax of $967 for a single-family detached property, a $35 increase from the previous year. Eligible uses of the funds include fire protection, law enforcement, animal control, street lights, parks and recreation, pool, and storm drainage. The total anticipated collection for 849 parcels is $821,631. The council adopted a resolution approving this collection, opting for the lower CPI-based increase instead of the maximum authorized 5%.
City Council Approves Liens for Unpaid Water and Sewer Bills
The City Council considered and approved the confirmation of special assessments against properties for unpaid water and sewer services for the fiscal year 2026-2027. This process involves placing liens on properties with delinquent accounts to recover unpaid utility charges. The city provides monthly notifications and offers payment plans before initiating the lien process. Four parcels were identified for liens, totaling $702 in unpaid water and sewer bills. The council adopted a resolution to assess these properties and direct the city manager to submit the necessary documentation to Sutter County for placement on the property tax roll. Council members discussed potential fees associated with the lien process and how they are handled.
Community Updates: Business Openings, Little League Send-off, and Park Event
The City Manager provided updates on community events and business openings. The Little League softball team's success was highlighted, with a send-off event scheduled for 6 a.m. the following day, involving city crews. Boba T, a new business, is nearing its opening within the next couple of days after completing final inspections and hood work. An 'ice cream and a movie in the park' event is scheduled for the following Wednesday at 6 p.m., with council members invited to help serve. Council Member Hernandez inquired about the reasons for the delay in Boba T's renovation, and the City Manager explained that while interior work was mostly surface treatments, significant issues with a new grease trap interceptor and a fire system recharge required substantial work, but the business is expected to open soon.
