City Council Special Business Meeting Notice and Employee Compliment Program

Lynnwood, WALocal News

The Lynnwood City Council will hold a Special Business Meeting on February 20 at 6 PM in the Council Chambers, focusing on local governance matters that directly impact residents. This meeting serves as a platform for community engagement, allowing citizens to voice their concerns and ideas regarding city management. In addition to the meeting, Lynnwood is actively promoting a program that invites residents to compliment city employees who have gone above and beyond in their service. Participants can submit their positive experiences through an online form, which will then be sent to the employee's supervisor for acknowledgment. This initiative not only recognizes individual contributions but also aims to foster a culture of excellence within the city's workforce.

By encouraging citizen participation, the city enhances transparency and accountability in public service. This dual approach of governance and recognition reflects Lynnwood's commitment to community engagement and employee morale. Residents are urged to participate in both the meeting and the compliment program to strengthen local governance.
