by septic systems

• 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

Filing an Application to Sutter LAFCo
