Staff said the interim finance director flagged available room in the proposed budget that could accommodate an additional employee if the commission wishes to hire.

Commissioners asked about a consultant to perform wage comparators; staff recalled a vendor who could provide salary comparisons to other similar districts. Commissioners discussed aligning any staff wage adjustments with citywide salary comparisons rather than ad hoc increases.

Commissioners also requested that Frank's performance review and compensation discussion be scheduled for the April meeting. One commissioner asked staff (Nadine) to gather materials in advance so the commission can consider a performance and compensation adjustment after reviewing comparable salary data.

Ending: Staff will coordinate with the interim finance director to confirm budget lines and will return to the commission with wage comparison data and materials for Frank’s performance and compensation review at the April meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Marysville City - Marysville Levee Commission Meeting - Jan 30, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners reviewed the fiscal 2023–24 income statement and a draft budget showing salary savings; staff said there is budget room for an additional employee and commissioners requested a performance and compensation review for Public Works staff member Frank.","taxTitle","Marysville, Yuba County, California","taxId",61741,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6669188,"Commissioners discuss signage and physical barriers to curb unauthorized vehicles on levee",1400,1994000,3394000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2175507-70b98ed68fd7f89b8ccf96c8e9d44976&start=1994&end=3394","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2175507-70b98ed68fd7f89b8ccf96c8e9d44976/thumbnail_1994000.jpg","/articles/6669188/Marysville/Yuba-County/California/Commissioners-discuss-signage-and-physical-barriers-to-curb-unauthorized-vehicles-on-levee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6669188-34568fc4f0e17468490faac8bd02ceb4/orig.mp4?Expires=1777126681&Signature=k2mgpZAc7MP9f99ewho1k1kJMSMyB7fGwtGKgmfZRDH8aqJ8lg2kOTDve-sqERNEgc0xkdXDGzXLbNK9Gnpb9m~F7cP2qr1PqObp2clA3t~B3OrQ1YvdARfcCJ7ayGiEmy4YF1N1aq50HaqNKec1Er2wLy8cvYnYYaWUwSIs1U8h7kdtJHwNZscigaY8Kt5TDWEkTF82EV7Hu3dW4XEv3T1SpyTsQzH1o~JW1lpY49Ya7Ej7U3VMGhZN66kq5Zw~TrZPnuaDr04sk78G0IZEHyNCMvydKDyezJIRWOExV0J6Cchs-rAOFMuvdr7HBMjUtAyvWDqHfXZgQMnJNqw5Lw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioners discussed options to reduce unauthorized motorized vehicle use on the Marysville levee, including renewing signage and installing physical barriers such as rails or gates at frequent bypass points.

Staff said signs have been used in the past but were frequently torn down or bypassed. Commissioners asked staff to map likely locations for signs and to consult with Public Works (Frank) and other field staff about sites where a gate or rail would be feasible. One commissioner suggested placing barriers near locations where vehicle tracks commonly cross onto the levee and at a northwest quadrant access point that has seen repeated off‑road activity.

Commissioners also noted that the city has an ordinance with fines for unauthorized access and asked staff to check how the ordinance is enforced and the fine amounts. Staff offered to return with cost estimates for signs and options for a physical barrier; one speaker proposed contacting contractor options and potential grant or city funding to cover installation.

Ending: Staff will prepare a map showing recommended sign and barrier locations and cost estimates, and return to the commission with options for enforcement coordination with the city.","The commission discussed placing new signage and potential gates or rails to discourage motorized vehicles on the levee; staff will draft a map of proposed sign locations and explore physical barriers at frequent access points.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6669190,"Levee project update: Army Corps work near grade, Marysville gauge active; emergency response plans in place",482,1534000,2016000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2175507-70b98ed68fd7f89b8ccf96c8e9d44976&start=1534&end=2016","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2175507-70b98ed68fd7f89b8ccf96c8e9d44976/thumbnail_1534000.jpg","/articles/6669190/Marysville/Yuba-County/California/Levee-project-update-Army-Corps-work-near-grade-Marysville-gauge-active-emergency-response-plans-in-place","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6669190-e57924040206b3f05921a656396c7b91/orig.mp4?Expires=1777126681&Signature=ihKqgXLXfwxjWCkb9S5WjW2kGnlIOnmz0~GJNW~wGV~ZgFQZTUtYCmjPfhTsXN-jHvmiEnkuSWRk1Ma4q1YzVArqtQRm2kK0aWgY5W~o5PISfmZl3W83nIip2jMMRHw7slBY5oN1n8fXPTQotJv2xwkqj1PXFuNECCO66OSu5aI67EJoRaxyEfiOGaQOqfU3uj2SqwkaMBPEIvdzZJXNvEpYsi88QeYMG1ckqlihzqBQB7LXz3mQxB2w2pzOxSAuUzCF4TrfXtttFJ4PSNlorCocXeficY6lCkWj7jx6wByWAlW36c0UxpjpRtmCaMisyQc94Mve3FpelfS-T1AJzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Marysville Levy Commission that work by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is nearing completion in several segments and that most of the levee is at the intended grade. Staff said the Corps’s work west of the main railroad and toward the E Street bridge is at grade, while one low area near Second Street was cut into during road‑raising work and remains a spot that would need temporary protection if water levels rise.

Commissioners were told the Corps and local partners have an emergency action plan that includes materials stockpiled to shore up small cuts if the river rises quickly. Staff said monitoring of the Marysville gauge continues; the Yuba City gauge stopped operating in January 2024 and a new upstream gauge at the Yuba City water intake structure is in service.

Staff described ongoing construction sequencing: some sections are at grade and may be two months from final grading work, subject to weather and contractor scheduling. One speaker said that if contractors need to restore the D grade, that work could be about two months away and that winter work schedules and north winds could delay short tasks by several weeks.

Commissioners and staff discussed a specific repair detail: where timber elements in steps or access areas were previously used, the contractors will replace with materials that meet current compliance requirements; staff and Corps representatives have raised the need to replace noncompliant wooden elements with concrete or other compliant materials.

Staff proposed to follow up with a short written summary from Tom (Corps contact) to the commission so members can track schedule and remaining work items. Commissioners asked staff to request that summary and to notify the commission when the final grading and associated steps work will be completed.

Ending: Staff said monitoring will continue during storm events and will be communicated to commissioners; no formal action was taken on this agenda item.","Commissioners received a status update from staff on the Army Corps flood‑protection work: most levee reaches are at design grade, an emergency action plan and material stockpiles are staged for storm response, and the Marysville river gauge remains operational while the Yuba City gauge was decommissioned in 2024.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6669192,"Marysville Levy Commission elects chair, discusses bylaws and statutory appointment limits",657,879000,1536000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2175507-70b98ed68fd7f89b8ccf96c8e9d44976&start=879&end=1536","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2175507-70b98ed68fd7f89b8ccf96c8e9d44976/thumbnail_879000.jpg","/articles/6669192/Marysville/Yuba-County/California/Marysville-Levy-Commission-elects-chair-discusses-bylaws-and-statutory-appointment-limits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6669192-67ce0c02d62a684faf68f02b51ab84b7/orig.mp4?Expires=1777126681&Signature=EqHgAaBe5K8XnabwduyhnFm2xZ-L7bse4g7NtjbX4HOsZj0YV5Sfr1MSms4UZ1TWTm~BZlEaTtQnqX~TjmGCCXgztZUrLFVUDT0UUoaEpuX-hzVpwHpg2nc9wJZr5O3FkTCiaoA2UIe-~5EbMeiCsj~4KRcEcWmpuXsNPvNK4VI7cnLiUsCtp6cLqDHxB-3oIIACEhMyz3l1e5ZPfxXbzKlZ6qFQg~24X~d6Ai0lnARWZ7wEk0o0i6p1kcyd8XqUhIA0xvAJXyRCUlrBmYpjk9N9Z1bzzWut-1CktWWIJSm2tTU-kwwpNuJoQdF86-tF03MgCmWdsOyKZSe50l3iyw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Marysville Levy Commission on Jan. 1 elected Commissioner Pat Azurian as chair and took a separate vote to appoint Azurian to a current vacancy on the commission. Commissioners also reviewed the commission’s bylaws and discussed a state statute that fixes the number and terms of commissioners.

The votes to name Azurian chair and to fill the vacancy were approved by the commissioners present. Commissioners noted the commission’s bylaws are based on an older, hard-to-read document and said staff produced a cleaned-up draft for review. Commissioners agreed the bylaws appear outdated and suggested a fuller rewrite may be beneficial.

Commissioners discussed a state statute that sets the number of commissioners and the term structure. Several members said that statutory language effectively locks the three commission seats to concurrent terms rather than staggered terms; that means all three seats come up at the same time under the current statute. Commissioners said changing staggered terms would require legislative action at the state level.

Members clarified appointment authority in specific circumstances. The commission’s reading of the relevant section indicates that when fewer than a quorum of commissioners are in place, the city council has authority to appoint remaining members; when a quorum exists, the commission itself can appoint to fill vacancies. Commissioners reported that, in one past instance, the city council acted to fill a vacancy after candidates had filed, in accordance with the county clerk’s guidance.

Discussion returned several times to the need for a clearer, modernized bylaws document and for staff to bring a revised draft at a later meeting. Commissioners asked staff to ensure the draft explains who appoints commissioners in differing vacancy scenarios and to note the statutory limits that would require legislative change to alter term timing.

The meeting did not adopt a final rewritten bylaws document; staff presented a draft created by administrative staff and commissioners directed further review.

Ending: Commissioners closed the item after agreeing to continue work on updated bylaws and to note the statutory constraint on term staggering for future agendas.","The Marysville Levy Commission elected Commissioner Pat Azurian as chair and filled a vacancy; members discussed outdated bylaws and a state statute that fixes the number and timing of commissioners' terms.","actionData","errors"]
