MARYSVILLE, CA (MPG) - The Marysville City Council held a special meeting May 19 to consider allowing conditional use permits for automobile uses and indoor commercial recreation facilities in mixed-use downtown areas. Both proposals would require amendments to the city’s Municipal Code and Downtown Specific Plan.

The Planning Commission recommended approval of the amendments. Before consideration of the item, however, Mayor Chris Branscum requested the matter be continued to a future meeting to allow staff more time to study the recommendation before council action.

The council agreed without objection and proceeded with the regular meeting.

The council issued a proclamation recognizing May 17-23 as National Public Works Appreciation Week.

Branscum read the proclamation, praising the “dedicated efforts” of the public works department. He said the professionals “focus on infrastructure, facilities, emergency management and services that are of vital importance to sustainable and resilient communities and the public health, quality of life and well-being of the people of Marysville.”

Public Works Manager Jason Zumalt accepted the proclamation on behalf of the department.

“We’re here to serve the city and try to make it a better place to live and a better place to visit and enjoy,” said Zumalt. “Public works maintains most all of your city facilities, and your parks, and your streets, and your sewer department. It’s a big job.”

The council also issued a proclamation recognizing the Marysville High School wrestling team for winning its first league championship in program history.

Branscum called the accomplishment an outstanding achievement and praised the team’s determination, discipline and teamwork.

“Through perseverance and commitment to excellence, the team has achieved a historic milestone,” said Branscum, calling the championship “the first of many.”

The council also recognized the coaches, parents and supporters who contributed to the team’s success.

The next meeting of the Marysville City Council is scheduled for June 2.
