Editor’s Note: ment.

“We are in the process of developing/updating a regional plan, but it is important to remain informed,” Harris said in an email about flood risk management.

2. Commercial Development. A number of new buildings are under construction or soon will be under construction around town. Some new or near-future businesses include Stanton Optical, Dunkin’ Donuts, Pete’s Brewhouse, Panera, Ulta, El Pollo Loco and Grange.

3. Planning for the Future/Preparing for Growth: This includes the future development El Margarita Master Plan, Bogue Stewart Master Plan, and proposed annexation of South Yuba City. Some leaders toy with the idea of a new community center that includes larger activities/events for all ages in the future.

4. Oroville Dam. Leaders said they continue to press the state and the Department of Water Resources to provide accurate information regarding the Oroville Dam, spillway, emergency spillway, inundation maps, water releases, etc.

5. The Fifth Street Bridge Replacement Project. The project will mean four lanes of traffic and is set to break ground this year.

“It will quickly become a cen- terpiece of the community once completed in conjunction with the Bridge Street Corridor project,” Harris said.

6. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Sunsweet. The city’s venerable food processing plant will be the center of attention at the upcoming Plumas Street Summer Stroll.

7. Homelessness. “Coordinate with the county on ways to connect our unhoused population with services,” Gale said in an email.

8. Yuba Sutter Lodging Association/Tourism Improvement District. Leaders say they’re excited to see what the local partners have planned to increase tourism in the Yuba-Sutter region.

10. Infrastructure. Ensuring proper expansion and maintenance of city infrastructure is paramount.

“My highest priority items have always been related to material infrastructure that directly correlates to the community’s quality of life,” Cleveland said in an email. “With all that said, I guess my top goal at this time is to ensure the ‘ land uses’ and infrastructure to support all needs in Yuba City are done the best way possible.” Marysville office, 1530 Ellis Lake Drive Business hours: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
