The City Council on Wednesday at 5:15 PM will discuss annexation and whether or not to direct staff to continue to research annexation.

If Ukiah cannot properly manage the problems that already exist within its borders, how can we be confident in its ability to effectively govern and support the expanded area? Until fundamental issues are resolved, expanding the city’s footprint only adds to the complexity without solving the root problems.

“The Ukiah City Council this week approved moving forward with an ordinance to help "preserve and protect agricultural lands" as the city prepares for more potential annexation of land currently in Mendocino County jurisdiction.”
