Marysville residents sought to serve on Salary Commission

The City of Marysville is currently looking for residents to join its Salary Commission, which has two open positions. One vacancy is for a two-year term ending in July 2027, and the other is for a three-year term concluding in June 2028. The commission, composed of seven members, meets each year to evaluate and adjust the salaries of elected officials, including the Mayor and City Councilmembers. Members must reside within Marysville city limits and pass a criminal background check to qualify. Those interested in applying must send a letter of interest along with their resume by July 11 to Teri Lester, the Human Resources Manager.

Serving on this commission also opens opportunities for residents to influence local governance. Ensuring fair compensation for elected officials is essential for the community's trust in local government.
