Farmers Market special event permit with Delta Avenue closure was scheduled for consideration

What the records say

In materials published ahead of the Jan. 26, 2026 City Council meeting, the agenda listed a recommended motion to approve a special event permit application for the Marysville Farmers Market on Delta Avenue ¹. The application describes a seasonal market on Delta Avenue between 5th and 6th Streets and within Comeford Park, on Wednesday afternoons from June 5 through August 19, 2026, operating 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with setup beginning at 8 a.m. and dismantling at 3 p.m. ¹. The permit would require closing Delta Avenue; the application states an approved access route for fire apparatus, including a minimum 20-foot unobstructed emergency route, would be provided ¹. The packet included a site map, a proposed 2026 vendor location plan, a 2026 public notice, a parking agreement with Reset Church dated Jan. 14, 2026, and two citizen comment letters — one in support and one raising concerns ¹. The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome.

• The recommended motion was to approve the special event permit application for the Farmers Market on Delta Avenue.
• The application describes the market as running Wednesdays, June 5 through August 19, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with Delta Avenue closed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for setup and dismantling.
• The application states the closure would include an approved fire-apparatus access route with a minimum 20-foot unobstructed emergency route, and that the applicant obtained permission from Reset Church, 1410 8th Street, to use its gravel parking area for vendor and patron parking.
• The packet's parking agreement quotes Reset Church describing market days as Wednesdays from May 28 through August 20, from noon to 7 p.m. — dates and hours that differ from the permit application's June 5 through August 19, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. schedule. The supplied records do not explain the difference.
• Two public comments were received: one supporting the market and one raising concerns about Wednesday closure of Delta Avenue access to City Hall, deliveries, parking, and potential sod damage to Comeford Park.

Why it matters

If approved as described, Delta Avenue between 5th and 6th Streets would close on Wednesday mornings through afternoons during the summer market season, affecting driving, parking, and access to City Hall for nearby residents and businesses. The application states the applicant arranged off-street vendor and patron parking at Reset Church, 1410 8th Street, to offset the loss of street parking ¹. The two public comments — one supporting the market and one objecting to the Wednesday closure's effect on City Hall access, deliveries, and parking — show the concerns residents raised before the scheduled decision ¹. The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome.

What changed / what's next

• The packet prepared for the Jan. 26, 2026 meeting included a proposed 2026 vendor location plan and a parking agreement with Reset Church dated Jan. 14, 2026, for the 2026 market season ¹.
• The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome; whether the permit was approved is not shown in the supplied packet ¹.
• The date and hours in the permit application (Wednesdays June 5–August 19, 11 a.m.–3 p.m.) do not match those quoted in the Reset Church parking agreement (Wednesdays May 28–August 20, noon–7 p.m.); the records do not reconcile the difference ¹.
