June 23 Lynnwood Council meeting packed with action on 7 key city matters

The Lynnwood City Council will convene on June 23 to discuss seven important ordinances, including updates to the Emergency Operations Center and the Unified Development Code. Deputy Chief Chuck Steichen will present an amendment to officially relocate the EOC to the Lynnwood Community Justice Center, which opened in May 2024. The council will also vote on adopting a Unified Development Code that aligns with recent housing policy changes, including fire sprinkler requirements for new residential construction. Another key item on the agenda is the establishment of the Lynnwood Youth Council, which could provide a platform for youth engagement in city governance. Additionally, Councilmember George Hurst has proposed allocating $372,050 from opioid settlement funds to support the CHANGE jail-reentry program, which offers various recovery services.

The meeting will commence with a proclamation for Independence Day and will be live-streamed for public viewing. These actions reflect the council's commitment to addressing community needs and regulatory compliance. This meeting represents a critical opportunity for residents to engage with local governance and policy changes.
