YUBA CITY — The Yuba City City Council took several administrative and budgetary actions during its July 1, 2025 meeting. The council reported out several closed‑session items, approved consent calendar items with recorded recusals, authorized a grant‑funded purchase of portable road barriers for events, and adopted the consolidated Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) plan and the 2025 annual action plan (items A and B).
Closed session report‑outs - Item a (litigation): Authorization previously provided for the case Kevin Sotto v. City of Yuba City (case CBCS 23‑TripleLot2232) concerning personal injuries from an auto accident. No further details were reported out in open session. - Item b (claimant Stacy Julian, claim number 25‑18): City council authorized rejection of the claim. - Item c (application to file a late claim, claimant Kimberly Marquard, claim number 2517): City council rejected the application to file a late claim.
Consent calendar The council approved consent calendar items 4 through 12. Mr. Chaffin recorded votes and recusals for three items: item 7 passed 3–0 with two recusals (Councilmember Michael Pasquale and Vice Mayor Mark Boomgaarden); item 8 passed 4–0 with one recusal (Mayor Dave Shaw); item 9 passed 4–0 with one recusal (Councilmember Michael Pasquale). All other consent items were approved 5–0.
Portable road barriers (Item 13) The council accepted a homeland security grant toward the purchase of portable road barriers and authorized staff to complete a supplemental budget appropriation. Commander Slade said the city received a $65,000 grant and that the selected ARX perimeter F‑18 trailer kit (36 units) would cost $73,503 in total; the additional funding will come from the grant fund balance (no general‑fund impact). Councilmember Wayne Kirchner moved to approve items 13(a)–(c); Councilmember Michael Pasquale seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous.
CDBG consolidated plan and 2025 action plan (Item 15) Staff presented the five‑year consolidated plan (2025–2029) and the 2025 annual action plan and noted the city is an entitlement jurisdiction that receives HUD CDBG funding. Shannon (staff) described program rules including income limits used to define low‑ and moderate‑income eligibility, program administration limits and public‑services caps. Staff said the city received 11 qualifying applications and reported that requests exceeded available funds by a substantial margin. The council opened and closed the public hearing with no public speakers on this item and then adopted items A and B (the consolidated plan and the 2025 annual action plan) by motion; the motion carried.
Next steps and administrative notes - For the portable barriers, staff will complete procurement and appropriate budget actions through the finance director. - For the CDBG plans, staff will submit required documents to HUD for processing. - For closed‑session claim rejections and litigation authorizations, no additional open‑session action was reported.
Votes listed above reflect the roll calls and recusal counts recorded in the meeting minutes as announced by the city clerk.
