NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Sonora will conduct a public hearing on a proposed ordinance at the regular meeting on Monday, March 3, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. in the City of Sonora Council Chambers located at 94 North Washington Street Sonora, CA for the purpose of considering the matter described below.
The City Council will consider the adoption of an ordinance amending section 3.16.020 of the Sonora Municipal Code. During the City Council meeting on June 3, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06-03-2024-C authorizing Amendment #1 to Agreement for Revenue Redistribution Pertaining to the South Bypass Annexation to the City of Sonora (“Amendment #1 to the South Bypass Agreement”). The City and County signed Amendment #1 to the South Bypass Agreement effective June 4, 2024. Amendment #1 to the South Bypass Agreement increased the City’s share of the sales and use tax from .87 to .89 percent and decreased the share for Tuolumne County (“County”) from .13 to .11 percent. The proposed ordinance will amend section 3.16.020 of the Sonora Municipal Code to reflect the City’s increased share and the County’s decreased share of the sales and use tax as agreed upon in Amendment #1 to the South Bypass Agreement.
The meeting will be physically open to the public for public input. Pursuant to State law, challenges in court to actions on the above proposal may be limited to issues raised during public hearings or meetings conducted on the matter, or in correspondence submitted prior to the start of the meeting.
