Marysville band shell to be demoed and replaced

Marysville City Council has unanimously approved a plan for a new band shell in Marysville Park. Described as an amphitheater which could accommodate larger bands and theater productions, the new structure would take the place of the existing stricture which city officials say was in need of repair. Patrick Phalen is the city's engineer and spoke to council last night about how the new stage will be oriented slightly different than the current one. "It's been rotated toward the river," said Phalen. "The reason that was done... was to take advantage of the shape of bowl down there and also turn it away from the sun." The new structure would include storage and changing areas in addition to a stage. The project comes with a $450,000 price tag with about $400,000 coming from county's COVID-19 federal relief funds. Bids for the project would be collected this summer with demolition and then construction occurring after Labor Day. The city hopes to have the new facility ready to host events during the Summer of 2024. Marysville City Council last night also taking the first steps towards what is being described as a public-private partnership involving one of the city's oldest buildings. Councilmembers last night authorized city manager Randy Fernandez to begin discussions with local contractor Korey Eagen regarding the building that recently housed the Marysville Historical Museum and previously served as city hall. Plans for the building call for it to be turned into four vacation rental units with the city retaining ownership.

Marysville band shell, museum building subject of special meeting

Officials from the City of Marysville were joined by several dozen community members for a special city council meeting Monday. Residents spent the first part of the evening touring the band shell and historical museum in the park. That was followed by a public input session regarding the future use of some of Marysville's most recognizable landmarks. Two options were presented for the band shell. One plan calls for renovation to the existing structure by extending the stage and roof outwards, allowing for more space and a larger variety of entertainment. The other plan calls for tearing down the structure and building a new amphitheater, which would include a changing area and restrooms. The cost of the renovation is estimated at $475,000 while starting from scratch is projected to cost $440,000. "It just seems like we can get more with the newer one," said Jack Quinlan, a former Marysville teacher with fond memories of the band shell. "If you're going to change it completely, you might as well go with the new one." Many residents commented on the large American flag which is painted on the interior of the band shell and their desire to keep it intact. City officials and architects say they plan to incorporate the flag in some manner into the new design, however it may not be as prominently displayed as it is currently. Also the subject of Monday's meeting was the building that most recently housed the Marysville Museum. Originally built as a homestead 1912, the building had been modified and was used as Marysville City Hall for much of its history. Issues with the building's heating system in 2010 resulted in the city closing the building to the public and moving the archives into a storage container. Estimates to repair and remodel the building are in the range of $300,000 to $400,000. "It's the only building remaining (in Marysville) in its original place when it was built," said Gail Decator, who was formerly Marysville city clerk. "If it has to be moved, I'd just like to see it preserved, so younger people can know about our town." Monday's meeting came after public pushback when the former bank building in Marysville Park was razed last month with little public notice. No decision was made Monday and city council members will have the ultimate say on the fate of both structures. Architect's rendering of the proposed new band shell.

Busha property could host Marysville Museum

The City of Marysville will be purchasing a property adjacent to Morton Park. The $210,000 agreement calls for the city to by the house-turned-insurance agency at 502 Busha Highway. Marysville Mayor Wayne Pyden says there are no concrete plans for the building but says it has the potential to compliment the soccer fields and track recently installed at the park for St. Clair County Community College. "We had an opportunity to take a look at the building, our partners had an opportunity to take a look at the building, and we came to the conclusion that it would be in everybody's best interest to add to the footprint of Morton Park," said Pyden. Speaking to our Paul Miller yesterday, Pyden says one of his hopes is that the building gets repurposed into a museum of sorts to house the city's historic artifacts. He says if says if the contents of the city's Historical Museum are moved to the new building, it is likely that the former museum building on Huron Boulevard would then be torn down. "I would be in favor of taking (the Museum building) down... it has no heat, it's just been sitting there, and there's been no maintenance on it," Pyden told WPHM. Built in 1912 as the Carpenter and Cuttle family homestead, the building served as offices for the Wills St. Claire Company, Marysville City Hall, and most recently the Marysville Historical Museum. Pyden says the cost to maintain the building has become unfeasible, and that the Busha Highway property is in much better shape.
