What the records say

In materials published ahead of the Nov. 25, 2024 meeting, the record said the Marysville City Council was scheduled to consider an ordinance adopting a biennial budget covering Jan. 1, 2025 through Dec. 31, 2026 1. The ordinance would set out, in summary form, the estimated revenues and spending appropriations for each separate city fund, plus the combined totals across all funds, and would establish compensation levels for city positions as prescribed by state law (RCW 35A.34.120) and the Marysville Municipal Code (MMC 2.50.030) 1. The budget summary attached to the ordinance shows a total budget of $450,135,923 across all funds for the two-year period, with estimated revenues of $372,953,392 and expenditures of $391,307,481 1. The recommended motion listed in the record was for a council member to move to adopt the ordinance, though the ordinance number was left blank in the pre-meeting materials 1. The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome.

Why it matters

It also sets pay levels for city positions 1. The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome.
