Yuba City voters approved a public-hearing item Tuesday to place 103 unpaid code-enforcement citations totaling $64,800 on the secured tax roll with liens, but also directed staff to verify that cited properties had actually been abated before the list is finalized, according to the meeting summary from the July 7 council meeting.
The hearing drew residents who said they had tried to comply, had communicated with staff, or were facing medical hardship, the summary said. It also says the council added 529 B Street to the list during the hearing.
The citation item was listed in the council’s July 7 agenda packet as a resolution for inclusion of unpaid code-enforcement citation fines on the secured tax roll. The agenda materials and meeting summary both place the action within the city’s regular council meeting.
The summary says the council unanimously voted for the collection step, though the available record does not provide a full roll-call breakdown for the item. It also says the city attorney told the council the added abatement check was within the council’s authority.
The city has not yet released the final citation list or staff’s verification results, so it is not clear which cases could be removed before collection is finalized.
