Marysville dedicates Oak Street as Officer Asmar Rodarte Memorial Way

At its June meeting the Marysville City Council and regional partners presented a joint proclamation honoring Marysville Police Officer Asmar Rodarte and adopted a resolution dedicating Oak Street as “Officer Asmar Rodarte Memorial Way.”

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.
