City Manager Jim Shadd briefed reporters that the city has applied for earlier remediation grants without success but plans to pursue another round of funding and to coordinate with the office of their congressional representative on potential project support. He said preliminary testing has found asbestos at some levels and that additional testing and regulatory review will determine whether material must be treated as hazardous waste and hauled to a higher-level disposal facility.

Shadd described a range of unknowns in subsurface conditions and said that, if the site must be handled as hazardous waste, cleanup costs could be significantly higher. During the public remarks he referenced a potential upper-range remediation figure of roughly $3,500,000 as an illustrative estimate pending further testing and bids; he also said the city is exploring a grant-focused “Plan A/Plan B” strategy and would continue sampling and technical review.

City staff said they will continue testing, work with environmental consultants and pursue available grant opportunities to cover removal and disposal costs. No formal council action or contract award for remediation was taken during the meeting; staff presented the status to reporters and indicated they would return with more complete technical and cost information.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Marysville City - City Council Meeting - Jun 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City officials said they will pursue federal and congressional grant rounds to remove hazardous material at the Hotel Marysville site; preliminary testing indicated presence of asbestos and remediation costs could be large if materials must be handled as hazardous waste.","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},6515095,"Marysville explores feasibility of rail-underpass active-transportation tunnel on 14th Street",1045,4383000,5428000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5020065-0df591ff209c97a8078758d9f97ef855&start=4383&end=5428","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5020065-0df591ff209c97a8078758d9f97ef855/thumbnail_4383000.jpg","/articles/6515095/Marysville/Yuba-County/California/Marysville-explores-feasibility-of-rail-underpass-active-transportation-tunnel-on-14th-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515095-53bb3cc50614657997756b198eece48d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775368154&Signature=Rd~O-nQzpw0NttDSsPZCPloF7p6H~zxQ92NsSraAwF-osuonEcug4BUxnU6pZQNVUheoGUMpVfUFnikuBAfJKL8JZnFEOAeQiNbEJC8kKG0gVQpJeqRHX2hgCi6Ufwe5P~kDqdxLpO8BPZdyDNBvpl3tYSVl-61ungAS9CefA2bdVFqtmtNKlXFBPoXA-~W3knjTi5cAYp07pEjMUzGdyMSYShpL5xOWhmFdjBdu0HdP-1WiyJ~xVSOS2lfR93hzxckHy1kQVOuN0H6HQLiEj6CoiJWRSYGEBBFwmR7a4IQusVtU6lh91J2J1zrfbAl8Id17Iu5Y8pRCVS37T62JOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Marysville council members and residents pressed for a feasibility study into a dedicated bicycle-pedestrian tunnel under the rail line at 14th Street that would directly connect East and West Marysville and provide a safer active-transportation route to Ellis Lake and other destinations.

Mayor Chris Branscomb framed the idea as “a wonderful connection between the two parts of town,” saying the underpass would improve safety and access to emerging development around Ellis Lake. Active-transportation advocates urged the council to pursue a feasibility study and regional funding through the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG).

Ben Deal, a local bicycle advocate, said the connection is included in the regional bike plan and could help link a proposed 12-mile spine route to Yuba College. “It’s a big project,” Deal said, “but a feasibility study would be the first step to see what kind of issues we’d face.”

Council members noted the tunnel would be technically complex and raised the cost question. One council member cited prior research suggesting similar projects could fall in the multi‑million-dollar range a decade ago; staff and council did not commit to a funding source but discussed pursuing SACOG support and federal rail‑authority grants for corridor projects.

City Manager Jim Shadd and staff recommended a two-step approach: (1) commission a feasibility study and preliminary cost estimate and (2) seek SACOG assistance to include the project in regional funding plans. Councilmembers supported returning with a draft request for qualifications or scope for a study and indicated they would consider budgeting seed funds or adding the project to the capital improvements program to demonstrate local commitment.

No vote was required; council discussion concluded with direction to city staff to convene follow-up meetings with SACOG and to draft a feasibility-study scope and cost estimate for council review.","Council members and residents discussed pursuing a feasibility study and regional funding for a bicycle-pedestrian tunnel under the railroad at 14th Street to better connect east and west Marysville; council directed staff to pursue meetings with SACOG and to develop next steps.",{"_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},6515100,"Marysville council approves SACOG grant, Ellis Lake contract, SB1 project list, fire annexation and dispatch move",1571,2751000,4322000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5020065-0df591ff209c97a8078758d9f97ef855&start=2751&end=4322","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5020065-0df591ff209c97a8078758d9f97ef855/thumbnail_2751000.jpg","/articles/6515100/Marysville/Yuba-County/California/Marysville-council-approves-SACOG-grant-Ellis-Lake-contract-SB1-project-list-fire-annexation-and-dispatch-move","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515100-fd82b5ac0713e79a7c3480d7352df36c/orig.mp4?Expires=1775368154&Signature=JYx-rIT4-DTo~fG5yaccAOh5T6cXMJbwMUWpStOosS5Z6INffiT~K-2LPs-S6S6Q7c9TKvsWBFXMIeZ-11cfJQUeNUOxtX-uND2I6sI1e40OpXEBUY1oGOVPQIFDQuAidc-ByaAuhAf4zlz8duQMwpXnTYxZDmAhkAPMJTfQA0Ssq5K3fK7WoPFOR~8HyfjP2Ay5NCNBpXMnc8DkOg3bodmmvGyPlKiV6r4R7UfgivthNyLRY6BCzYws6fniRnBwYo6qcBWeujuO6s3pD5BPiAYzyzjX-E450j7ecIcWwmPNa01jcLutertrWKPeZ1Wb4nmaPEyGMdwD3Gn11BAfNA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its June meeting the Marysville City Council approved a package of grants, consultant agreements and jurisdictional actions aimed at transportation, parks improvements and fire services.

Council authorized City Manager Jim Shadd to execute an agreement with the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) to accept $500,000 in Reconnecting Communities Neighborhood Program funds paired with a $5,000 city general-fund match to complete mobility studies and improvements. The council also voted to authorize a $70,510 agreement with Acorns Environmental to complete environmental review for planned improvements to Ellis Lake, work that city planners said is necessary to meet California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements before construction.

The council adopted the city’s SB1 (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act) project list for the 2025–26 fiscal year to preserve eligibility for state road maintenance funds administered through the California Transportation Commission. City Manager Jim Shadd said the list “does not mean we’re going to be able to do all of those projects,” and councilmembers amended the list to add an extension to Sixth Street to preserve future SB1 eligibility for that bicycle-pedestrian connection.

On regional governance, the council adopted a resolution requesting that the Yuba County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) initiate proceedings to annex the Marysville Fire Department into the Linda Fire Protection District. Cathy Domenico, the consultant assisting the process, told the council the annexation’s fiscal details depend on a tax-sharing agreement that must be finalized with the county auditor-controller to meet a December state filing deadline.

The council also approved moving Marysville Fire Department dispatching from the city Police Department to the Yuba County Sheriff’s Dispatch Center. Chief Kyle Hegstrom said the county dispatch will improve continuity across mutual-aid boundaries and avoid heavy infrastructure spending to expand the city’s radio frequency coverage.

All recorded motions on these agenda items passed with no recorded opposition.

The proclamation, read publicly by Renick House, a Yuba County supervisor, said Rodarte “faithfully served the city of Marysville and its residents” and that the city would “install suitable signage along Oak Street to commemorate Officer Rodarte’s service and sacrifice.” The proclamation text read in part: “His unwavering dedication to upholding the law and protecting our citizens is a testament to his character.”

The proclamation was presented at a joint ceremony attended by representatives from Yuba and Sutter counties and family members. Renick House read the document on behalf of regional officials; Mayor Chris Branscomb signed the resolution on behalf of the city. Acting Lieutenant Nelson Magana and members of the Marysville Police Department attended the presentation in the council chamber.

The council entered the proclamation into the city’s official record and directed staff to arrange for signage along Oak Street, the roadway the proclamation describes as where Officer Rodarte “patrolled and served with distinction.” The city did not provide a timetable for sign installation during the meeting.

Family members of Officer Rodarte were present when officials read the proclamation. City leaders framed the dedication as a lasting tribute and part of ongoing community recognition of officers who die in the line of duty.

No formal public hearing or contested action was recorded on the proclamation; the item proceeded as a ceremonial dedication and was finalized during the meeting.","At its June meeting the Marysville City Council and regional officials presented a joint proclamation honoring the life and service of Marysville Police officer Asmar Rodarte and directed staff to install memorial signage along Oak Street.","actionData","errors"]
