The Marysville City Council met and handled routine municipal business and a set of votes affecting city operations and budgets. Council approved a one-time paid holiday change for 2025 for city employees, authorized purchase of a budgeted pickup truck for the water/sewer department and approved a well pump replacement at Well No. 12. The council also adopted Resolution 2025-18 (GAP waiver) and Resolution 2025-19 to make a portion of Allsome Street one-way, and passed Appropriation Ordinance No. 38-60 for $830,789.40.
Why it matters: these approvals affect city services, vehicle and utility reliability, and traffic flow in residential areas. The appropriation ordinance covers multiple city expenditures; the council affirmed the ordinance in open session.
Votes at a glance:
- Approval of minutes (Nov. 10): motion moved and seconded, carried (ayes recorded).
- Parking closure extension at the old courthouse: approved (motion to extend contractor access through weekday work, non-continuous; staff to coordinate barricade removal for events).
- Christmas on Broadway event: approved (street closures and picnic table support).
- City employees holiday hours (2025): council approved a one-time paid holiday adjustment to include the Friday after Christmas for 2025; departments will maintain on-call coverage as needed.
- Vehicle purchase (Water & Sewer): council approved buying a budgeted 3/4-ton crew-cab pickup and authorized attachments and safety equipment; funds drawn from municipal equipment reserve.
- Well No. 12 pump replacement: council approved proceeding with replacement from the vendor identified in the minutes; the numerical amount shown in the transcript appears to be a transcription error and is reported in the minutes as garbled (not specified in the published record).
- Resolution 2025-18 (GAP waiver): adopted.
- Resolution 2025-19 (one-way on Allsome Street): adopted; installation slated after the holidays pending locates.
- Consent agenda: single item approved.
- Appropriation Ordinance No. 38-60: approved for $830,789.40.
Council and staff said they would follow up with corrected figures or additional details where the minutes recorded unclear numeric information (notably the pump purchase line in the audio transcript). The meeting recessed for an executive session on personnel and later reconvened; no binding decisions were announced in open session.
Next steps: staff will finalize vendor contracts, post any corrected purchase amounts and schedule street sign installation for the one-way on Allsome Street after utility locates.
