The Lynnwood City Council is set Monday to discuss and review the $6 million in proposed police department service and staff cuts in response to  a $11.8 million deficit in the city’s 2025-26 budget.

The police department was among several city departments hit by $11.7 million in proposed cuts after the mayor directed all department heads to reduce expenditures by 3-7%. 

In response, the police department cut staff and training efforts and extended vehicle service life, among other adjustments.

The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m., Monday, Sept. 29 at Lynnwood City Hall: 19100 44th Ave. W. It will also be livestreamed on the city’s website and Zoom.
