City of Edmonds invites community to May 22 budget and property tax levy workshops

The City of Edmonds will conduct public workshops on May 22 to gather community input on addressing its budget deficit. Mayor Mike Rosen and city council members will be available to discuss the city's financial constraints and solicit feedback on potential levies and revenue-generating strategies. These workshops follow an all-day retreat held by city leaders on May 10, where they examined financial challenges and service levels. A Zoom view-only option and a phone participation line will ensure broader access for residents. This effort highlights the city's commitment to transparency and community engagement regarding fiscal matters.

The city has faced budgetary pressures, prompting officials to explore various avenues for revenue enhancement. This initiative is part of a series of workshops aimed at fostering ongoing dialogue with residents about budget priorities. The outcome of these discussions may influence future city projects and programs.
