About this list
What this record includes.
Names and titles follow the City Clerk’s typed list of elected officials, taken from the Council meeting books. Marysville advanced from town to third-class city in 1962, and titles first held after that change use “City.” City administrators come from the list’s footnotes; the office was created in 1971.
