Item 5.03.   Amendment to Articles of Incorporation


Three- for- Two Stock Split. As previously  reported on a Current Report on Form
8-K filed  November  24, 2004,  on November 22, 2004,  the Board of Directors of
North Bay Bancorp approved a three-for-two  stock split, which will be accounted
for as a 50% stock dividend. The stock split became effective once a certificate
of  amendment  to North  Bay's  articles  of  incorporation  was filed  with the
California  Secretary of State.  The  amendment to articles  also  resulted in a
proportionate increase in North Bay's authorized,  but unissued common stock. No
shareholder approval was required.


The  amendment  was filed by the  California  Secretary of State on December 11,
2004, effective December 6, 2004.


A copy of the amendment is attached as Exhibit 3 to this Report.


Item 9.01.       Financial Statements and Exhibits.


             (c)  Exhibits.

             3. Certificate of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation  effecting
a three-for-two stock split.
