Marysville City Council Meeting - November 9, 2026

The Marysville City Council meeting on November 9, 2026, approved Ordinance 3391, adopting the 2027–2028 biennial budget unanimously, and approved Ordinance 3392, setting the property tax levy at a 0% increase from 2026. The council also authorized a memorandum of understanding with Everett for strategic planning on regional water supply and wastewater treatment options. The MOU initiates studies and coordination only; it does not commit either city to construction or a specific service arrangement. Staff estimated Marysville wastewater treatment improvements could cost $400–$600 million, and the approved budget includes studies of wastewater needs and future water sources. The council removed an item concerning the 156th overcrossing from the agenda pending further engineering review of wetland conditions and potential cost impacts.

The council accepted the completed Mother Nature’s Window Park project. Misha Contractors performed the work, and project billings were approximately $46,000 below the construction allocation. The council also approved obligating $170,480 in state funds for the right-of-way phase of the Cascade Elementary Hunter Street Northeast Safe Routes to School project. Separately, the school district presented a proposed replacement levy of $2.15 per $1,000 of assessed value for 2028–2031; it was informational, not a city spending action. No new contract award was identified.
