Draft minutes from the Feb. 9, 2026 Marysville City Council meeting record a unanimous vote to authorize the Mayor to sign a $1.86 million contract with FieldTurf USA, Inc. for a new artificial turf soccer field at Strawberry Fields, with a reserve bringing the total allocation to $2.05 million 1.

What the records say

According to draft minutes of the Feb. 9, 2026 City Council meeting — attached to the Feb. 23, 2026 meeting packet for approval — item 13 was a contract award with FieldTurf USA, Inc. for the Strawberry Fields Turf Project, covering installation of an artificial turf soccer field on Field 3. Project Engineer Nick Loutsis presented the item 1. The contract amount was $1,861,344.62, and the motion also approved a management reserve of $186,134.46 — a set-aside for unexpected costs — for a total allocation of $2,047,479.08 1. The motion to authorize the Mayor to execute the contract was moved by Councilmember Norton and seconded by Councilmember Muller, and the minutes list the vote as AYES: ALL, meaning every member voting was in favor 1. The minutes remain in draft form in the supplied packet; the Feb. 23 agenda scheduled their approval, and the packet does not show whether that approval occurred 1.

Why it matters

This is a roughly $2 million city investment in a soccer field at a Marysville park. The management reserve means the city budgeted about 10% beyond the base contract in case costs come in higher 1. The supplied record documents the contract amount, the reserve, and the vote; it does not describe construction timing or field-availability effects, so residents should treat those as unknown until the city publishes a schedule 1.
