Marysville’s City Council approved two ordinances aimed at business regulation and youth engagement.

Councilors adopted Ordinance 1940, which sets safety and regulatory standards for food trucks operating within the city. Council discussion framed the ordinance as a way to protect public safety while helping food trucks become integrated, sustainable parts of the local business community rather than merely competing with brick-and-mortar businesses. The ordinance was moved, seconded and approved by roll call.

On Ordinance 1941, council members approved creation of a youth advisory committee after working with Marysville High School (MHS) and reviewing models used by other communities. The council discussed whether the body should be termed a committee or a council; staff indicated either name would be acceptable but ultimately retained the committee designation as the working structure. Council asked the school to nominate participants and discussed timing to allow the group to meet in January or February depending on school schedules. The ordinance passed on roll call.
