Edmonds City Council proposes $14.5 million November levy
EVERETT — The Edmonds City Council amended its property tax levy lid lift proposal Tuesday to set the levy amount at $14.5 million.
The council is working on a November ballot measure as a step in addressing the city’s $13 million budget deficit.
Last week, the council directed City Attorney Jeff Taraday to draft a resolution for the levy lid lift, but didn’t specify a dollar amount. Taraday will add the $14.5 million to the resolution draft before the council holds a public hearing at next week’s meeting. The council expects to take action on the resolution July 8.
Council President Neil Tibbott proposed the $14.5 million figure as a compromise between a number of proposals the council has seen over the past month, he said. Some council members agreed.
