Edmonds votes to place levy lid lift on the ballot
EVERETT — Edmonds voters will officially see a $14.5 million property tax levy lid lift on their ballots in November.
The Edmonds City Council voted 5-2 Tuesday to place the levy on the ballot as an attempt to address the city’s fiscal crisis.
On June 26, council President Neil Tibbott proposed $14.5 million as a compromise between a number of figures proposed to the council. The figure is more than twice the $6 million levy the council budgeted for in December.
The council has also stated its intent to find $5 million in additional revenue. Some ideas on the table include increasing pet license fees, paid parking and traffic cameras.
