Residents Invited to Serve on Pro and Con Committees for Public Safety Levy Lid Lift

Lake Forest Park invites residents to join Pro and Con committees to address a proposed six-year Public Safety Levy Lid Lift. The City Council will decide on July 10, 2025, whether to place this measure on the ballot for the November 4, 2025, general election. Each committee may consist of three voting members, all of whom must be registered voters in the city. The committees will draft a 200-word statement either in support of or against the proposal, followed by an optional 75-word rebuttal. Interested residents must submit their applications by 5:00 p.

m. on July 17, 2025, and committee members will be appointed on July 24, 2025. The final statements are due to King County Elections by August 15, 2025. This process is crucial for ensuring voters receive balanced information regarding the levy, which aims to enhance public safety services in the community. The initiative reflects the city's commitment to engaging residents in local governance.
