Yuba City council members unanimously approved an agreement with Sutter County that would divide revenue from Measure G if voters pass the countywide sales-tax measure on Nov. 3, 2026.
According to the adopted agreement, the county would pay Yuba City 77.5% of the city-generated Measure G revenue and keep the remaining 22.5% so long as the measure remains in effect. City staff said that works out to about $12.55 million for Yuba City, about $9.2 million for the county and about $750,000 for Live Oak, which is included in the broader county revenue-sharing framework.
The resolution says the arrangement is meant to provide a mechanism for sharing Measure G revenue generated within Yuba City and to shift responsibility for law enforcement services in the Beat 6/7 area from the county to the city by July 1, 2028, with a corresponding amendment to the 2000 master tax exchange agreement. It also says the city manager may make non-material refinements before final execution.
The county board approved the ballot measure and directed county staff to negotiate revenue-sharing agreements with Yuba City and Live Oak when it placed Measure G on the ballot, according to the city resolution and agreement language. The council’s action gives Yuba City a defined fiscal framework before voters weigh in on the tax measure.
The agreement was part of the council’s Sept. 15 meeting, where the city also took up other items including a police software purchase and an annual housing-and-community-development report.
