New Marysville fire hall delayed: Plans for a new Fire Station 61 — currently housed at 1635 Grove Street — are being put on hold. The project is expected to cost more than $10 million.

The fire district and the city continue talks of creating a new government agency to provide fire protection and emergency medical services. They have to ask voters to approve the change, called a regional fire authority, with a ballot measure possible for February 2016, according to the minutes.
