Features will include water jets and cannons, rotating sprinklers, bollards and raised curbing, blue LED lights embedded in a winding river feature for night lighting effects, seating, lighting, landscaping and restroom renovations for swimwear changes. “The spray park will add a refreshing new way for families to enjoy fun in the water on hot summer days, and it will be a great new attraction for helping create a sense of community in our downtown,” Mayor Jon Nehring says. The Marysville Community Parks Foundation will run a fundraising campaign this spring with a goal to raise $325,000. The City has dedicat- ed $272,000 to the spray park and Comeford Park renovations, but funds raised will help offset some of the costs to money can be allocated to other City park projects, says Jim Ballew, Parks and Recreation Director.

The 6.4-acre park at 9028 67th Ave. NE is located next to Kellogg Marsh Elementary School and Wilcox Farm Community Garden. “Doleshel Park is a crown jewel of our community, and a great example of citizens stepping in to fill the gap when public resources are not available for projects such as this,” Mayor Jon Nehring said to the some 40 people who attended. Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew said that unlike other parks with playground equipment, and backstops for ball fields, Doleshel will be a passive park, much like Deering Wildflower Acres. Other amenities include an outbuilding, picnic tables, parking and a restroom. Nehring and Ballew praised project leader Bruce Paquette and the Marysville Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Church volunteers contributed more than 1,000 hours of service into the community park over three years. “I knew our group would step up,” City Council President and church member Jeff Vaughan said. He added that the property once was a place where families would build memories during the holidays. “Now we’ve been able to continue to provide families with new memories (in a different way).” A centerpiece feature at the park is a sturdy trail bridge spanning the meandering Allen Creek, thanks to an enterprising Eagle Scout project coordinated by Danyon Heacock. Doleshel Park was purchased through Snohomish County’s Neighborhood Improvement Program in 2007.

MVP volunteers are a familiar sight around the community, patrolling and keeping an eye on neighborhoods, school grounds and serving as lookout for suspi- cious or criminal activity in the City’s many parks. “Crime prevention is a responsibility shared by everyone, not just a job for the police,” says Lt. Mark Thomas, who over- sees MVP along with MVP Coordinator Bob Rise. “These volunteers are an extra set of eyes and ears for our commissioned Police Officers; the work they do lets of-f-f ficers focus their effort on other proactive policing duties.” Here are just a few crime prevention tasks that MVP performs: • Patrol parks to serve as lookouts for suspicious or criminal activity, then report it to police; • Patrol school grounds and nearby roads and neighborhoods where children walk to and from school each day; • Residential vacation house checks to reduce the potential for burglaries and break-ins; • Patrol parking areas and lots for handicapped parking space violators, with the authority to issue courtesy warnings; • Remove illegally posted yard, garage, MVP gives Police ‘extra set of eyes’ patrolling parks, school grounds, neighborhoods lost pet and other signs on poles, traffic signs, etc. • Assist with the Neighborhood Watch Program; • Special events like National Night Out Against Crime. Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew says MVP volunteers have helped the Parks Department immensely with daily support in monitoring activities within the parks system. “They have been instrumental in providing the department with informa- tion about graffiti, trail concerns or facility maintenance issues,” Ballew says. “Ad- ditionally, they are a comfort to many visitors that may be new to our parks who may have questions about parks. Composed of 15 adult volunteers, they are hoping to build up their ranks by wel- coming all ages from young adult to senior to join the group. MVP already has two younger members with an interest in learn- ing more about law enforcement careers and helping prevent crime in their city. And they patrol parking areas and lots searching for handicapped-parking scofflaws. If MVP volunteers are unable to speak directly to a driver, they leave a blue-colored courtesy warning on the windshield. Their job is not to enforce, but to educate. If you’re interested in joining the MVP team, pick up an MVP application at the Marysville Police Department, 1635 Grove St., or download it from the City website at http://marysvillewa.gov.

Skimming enables the City to repair more spans of roadway throughout Marysville than could be done otherwise through much costlier major overlay or reconstruction. VOTER FACTS & INFORMATION Ballot Measure www.marysvillewa.gov/tbd Unmet transportation needs A two-tenths of a percent sales-tax measure will go before Marysville voters on April 22 that will pave the way for fixing roads, taking care of unmet transportation needs, and improving pedestrian and bicycle safety and access. The Marysville City Council on Jan. 13 formed a Transporta- tion Benefit District (TBD), a separate and independent public entity allowed by state law for the sole purpose of repairing, building, improving, preserving and funding transportation improvements within the district. The City Council acts as the governing board of the TBD. Proposed method of funding The ballot measure, Proposition 1, would initiate a two-tenths of a percent sales tax that would generate roughly $1.6 million per year to meet Marysville’s unmet transportation needs. Marys- ville’s sales tax rate would increase from 8.6 to 8.8 percent, still remaining lower than most cities in Snohomish County. Who would pay sales taxes? If approved, the sales tax would be paid by everyone who shops in Marysville and uses Marysville streets and services, not just Marysville residents. April 22, 2014 Marysville A 0.2% sales tax increase would generate about $1.6 milion per year to address Marysville’s unmet transportation needs Increased tax on $100 of taxable goods purchased in the City of Marysville would be 20 cents. Marysville has numerous road segments among the 201 miles (420 lanes miles) maintained by City that are in failing or near failing condition. $16 million transportation project list over the next 10 years starting in 2015 would include: l l l l 33 arterial, collector and residential pavement preserva- tion projects within City limits and subdivided among three zones - north, middle and south - to achieve an equitable balance of preservation coverage. 7 potential Capital Improvement Projects. Sidewalk improvement projects to improve pedestrian/ bicycle safety and better access within Marysville. Priority given to main arterials and high-traffic roads, fol- lowed by collector roads and residential streets that are rated as failing or near failing. t t t How you can find out when the street sweeper is coming thru your neighborhood? You may be surprised to learn that the City of Marysville Street Division in Public Works is responsible for clean- ing, maintaining and street sweeping 411 lane miles of city streets. The City posts the Street Sweeping Routes Map on the City web- site. To find when the sweeper will be in your neighborhood, identify your street and location on the online map and the corresponding color in the index on the website at: http://marysvillewa.gov/streetsweeping. For street maintenance purposes, Marysville is divided into six zones. Each zone is swept a staggered three months out of the year, with major roadways swept more frequently. You can also sign up for weekly email updates thru our NotifyMe online service to find out when street sweepers will be visiting your neighborhood, or view the current update. To help us be of best service, here are some friendly reminders: remove any vehicles or trailers parked on the street, garbage cans or other obstructions, and trim low-hanging tree branches. ---PAGE BREAK--- 32 Jon Nehring Office: (360) 363-8000 [EMAIL REDACTED] Home: (425) 346-9472 Jeffrey Vaughan (Council Pres.) 651-0805 [EMAIL REDACTED] Kamille Norton 657-3496 [EMAIL REDACTED] Stephen Muller 657-4844 [EMAIL REDACTED] Jeff Seibert 659-2226 [EMAIL REDACTED] Michael Stevens (425) 530-5646 [EMAIL REDACTED] Rob Toyer (425) 760-9471 [EMAIL REDACTED] Donna Wright 659-7027 [EMAIL REDACTED] Mayor City Councilmembers GENERAL NEWS Looking for easy access to online public documents?
