Draft CDBG annual performance report open for public comment through September 8

Marysville released its draft PY2024 CDBG performance report for review, with a public hearing on September 8, 2025 and written comments due that day 1.

What the records say

The City of Marysville has released its draft Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Year 2024 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for public review and comment 1. The CAPER is a yearly report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that describes how the city used its CDBG money and what it accomplished during the program year 1. It evaluates progress on the priorities and objectives in the city's Consolidated Plan and PY2024 Annual Action Plan 1. Note a discrepancy in the city's own notice: while the notice and headline refer to the PY2024 CAPER, the linked download is labeled 'Draft PY2023 CAPER for Public Comment.' The records do not explain or reconcile the difference, so residents should confirm they are reviewing the intended document 1.

  • A public hearing on the draft PY2024 CAPER is scheduled for Monday, September 8, 2025 at 7:00 PM in the City Council Chambers, 501 Delta Ave 1.
  • Written comments from people unable to attend the hearing must be received by Monday, September 8, at 4:00 PM to be included in the CAPER; oral and written comments are also accepted at the hearing itself 1.
  • Comments can be emailed to Kathryn Bird at kbird@marysvillewa.gov or mailed to 501 Delta Avenue, Marysville, WA 98270 1.
  • The draft report is available for download online, and accessible formats are available upon request 1.

Why it matters

This is residents' chance to weigh in on how the city reports its use of federal CDBG funds before the report is finalized. The city says all comments received will be considered at the public hearing and included in the final CAPER 1.

What changed / what's next

  • The draft PY2024 CAPER was released for public review and comment, posted August 22, 2025 1.
  • The September 8, 2025 public hearing at 7:00 PM and the 4:00 PM written-comment deadline are the key dates; comments received by then will be included in the final CAPER 1. Separately, the city's notice refers to the PY2024 CAPER but its download link is labeled 'Draft PY2023 CAPER for Public Comment' — a mismatch the records do not reconcile 1.
