The Live Oak City Council’s July 15 agenda includes action on an agreement with Sutter County to handle the city’s Nov. 3, 2026 municipal election as part of the Statewide General Election. Staff estimated the arrangement would have a $27,000 fiscal impact.
The packet says the agreement is between the City of Live Oak and the County of Sutter, with the county’s clerk-recorder/registrar of voters, Donna Johnston, listed as the county signatory. The staff report also says the city’s mayor would be authorized to execute the agreement if the council approves it.
The election-services item is one of several routine items on the July 15 agenda, alongside personnel changes, property-lien hearings and annual special tax actions. The packet summary does not show whether the council approved the agreement or how members voted on it.
The full agreement text would likely clarify which election functions the county would handle and whether the city has used the same arrangement before.
