Yuba City council endorses Measure D; cell tower easements, traffic grant, facility rezone approved

The Yuba City City Council gave its official endorsement of Measure D on Tuesday, a 1% general sales tax measure that will fund crucial public safety and infrastructure initiatives in Yuba City if approved by voters in November.

Over the last several months, city leaders have been adamant that a revenue measure is necessary to meet the needs of a growing population, with road repair and public safety being top priorities. The City Council has evaluated the need for additional revenue based on long-term financial forecasts regarding road maintenance and operational challenges for city fire and police departments.
