What Would Happen?  The City would provide:  Law Enforcement  Building & Planning  Code Enforcement  Street Maintenance  Parks & Recreation  City currently provides Fire and Water Services  Wastewater -- Majority of parcels are served by septic systems

Why Annex?  Efficiency of local governments  The City nearly surrounds this area  City provides full services around it  The Walton Area, while in the City, still receives law enforcement services from the County Sherriff’s Office  Master Tax Exchange Agreement – 82 percent of Police Beat #6  With the completion of the South Yuba City annexation the criteria will be met

LAFCo  Sutter County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) is the agency that reviews and considers annexations  LAFCo will ultimately determine if the area will be annexed into the City (per the Cortese- Knox-Hertzberg Government Reorganization Act of 2000).  Resolution of Intent – Council Authorized the Filing an Application to Sutter LAFCo
