Two public hearings are scheduled for the Lynnwood City Council’s March 11 business meeting.

The first pertains to a conversation about mandating the relocation of utility lines during new developments and redevelopments. This would apply to the city center area. The second is regarding a request from the owners of the Alderwood Towne Center to install and redesign signage in their commercial areas.

Councilmembers were briefed on both items during their March 4 work session. 

Also on the Monday meeting agenda:

– Selection of a candidate to fill position 3 on the Lynnwood Public Facilities District Board.

– Consideration of a request from the developers of Koz on Alderwood Mall Boulevard to use the Lynnwood multi-unit housing property tax exemption program. The program agreement stipulates that new residential properties not be taxed in exchange for the designation of 40 apartment units as low- to moderate-income housing.

– Action on a previous request that staff provide a list of auditing services to perform a complete financial audit of city finances. Staff had asked for clarification on the request and councilmembers favoring an audit requested a performance audit related to staffing and pay levels.

– A proclamation acknowledging Women’s History Month.

– Words of appreciation from retiring Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Director Lynn Sordel.

– Presentation to the city of a folded flag from members of Heroes’ Café, in appreciation for its ongoing support.

The March 11 meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in Lynnwood City Hall Council Chambers, 19100 44th Ave. W., Lynnwood. Visit lynnwoodwa.gov/Government/City-Council/City-Council-Meetings for information on streaming or joining the meeting live. You can see the complete meeting agenda here.
