Commissioners review sign and outdoor-dining ordinance updates, streets-and-trees rules and training plans; city manager reports development progress and lake-t
Summary
Commissioners received updates on several code amendments and training opportunities and heard a City Manager report on development activity, grant-funded lake treatment and other city projects; several ordinance workshops were scheduled for late February and March.
Commissioner Langsdorf and other commissioners used the end of the meeting to update the commission on several upcoming ordinance and training items and to invite commissioner participation in scheduled workshops.
Langsdorf described a minor change to the sign ordinance intended to ‘‘expand and clarify the exception section’’ and to encourage historic and three-dimensional signage. He said that change is not a wholesale revamp and that it will be before the Planning Commission on Feb. 26 before going to the City Council. Langsdorf also said staff is preparing an update to the outdoor dining ordinance that expired at the end of the pandemic; a Planning Commission workshop on the outdoor dining ordinance is scheduled for Feb. 26. He said a rescheduled meeting with the Marysville Business Alliance will be held at 9 a.m. on March 12 to gather business input.
Langsdorf reported the city is working on revisions to the streets and tree ordinance to clarify responsibilities for sidewalks and street trees. He also described planned training opportunities for commissioners, including the Planning Commissioner Academy in Sonoma County (March 5–7) and proposed Brown Act, ethics and Robert’s Rules of Order training, with staff exploring online options.
The City Manager gave a broader status update on development and public-works projects. He said the city has seen more building permits and cleanup of properties, and highlighted coordination with the Yuba Water Agency on lake treatment to reduce algae blooms. “That was why you didn’t see those ugly algae blooms,” the City Manager said, attributing improvements to the treatment work. The manager also referenced development prospects at the B Street property and ongoing paving and improvement work near the high school. The City Manager mentioned a $3,000,000 grant in the context of these water- or lake-related efforts; the transcript presented the dollar figure with limited clarity, and staff should be consulted for the exact grant amount and scope.
Commissioners praised staff for the amount of work that went into the general plan and other projects and encouraged attendance at the listed workshops and trainings.
