City Council was scheduled to consider amending its property exchange agreement with the Marysville School District

In materials published ahead of the May 26, 2026 meeting, the Marysville City Council agenda included a motion to authorize the Mayor to sign a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Property Exchange Agreement with Marysville School District 25 1.

What the records say

In materials published ahead of the May 26, 2026 City Council meeting, the agenda listed an item titled 'First Amendment to Amended and Restated Property Exchange Agreement.' The recommended motion was: 'I move to authorize the Mayor to sign and execute the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Property Exchange Agreement with Marysville School District 25' 1. The packet includes the full text of the amendment. It amends Section 8 of the existing agreement to add a provision stating that the City will make available a four-inch PVC conduit duct to the school district for its exclusive use, and that the parties will enter into a separate agreement to address construction and use of that duct 1. The amendment also authorizes execution of an Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) Agreement, which is included as Exhibit A. That IRU agreement grants the district a non-exclusive right to use a 4-inch conduit within city-owned infrastructure along State Avenue from 72nd Street NE to the building at 1049 State Avenue, for an initial 25-year term, with provisions for relocation, indemnification, insurance, and termination 1. The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome.

Why it matters

This amendment would give the school district a long-term right to use city-owned conduit infrastructure to provide fiber connectivity to its new administrative offices at 1049 State Avenue. Residents may be interested in how the city is sharing its infrastructure with the school district and the terms of that arrangement, including the 25-year term and the district's obligations under the IRU agreement 1.
