July 19 Shoreline City Council meeting

At the work session "special" meeting of the Shoreline City Council on Monday, July 19, council members discussed the pros and cons of putting a levy lid lift aka property tax increase, on the November ballot, as recommended by staff. During public comment, representatives and volunteers from the Center for Human Services, the Senior Center, and other organizations, urged the council to put the measure on the ballot and expressed their fears at the results if the city has to cut its financial support to their organizations.

Annual reports were given by the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council and the Shoreline Historical Museum.

Mayor McGlashan congratulated Assistant City Manager Julie Underwood on the birth of her baby.

Council meetings are available online and broadcast on cable channels 21 and 37 on Tuesday at noon and 8:00 pm and Wednesday through Sunday at 6 am, noon and 8 pm.
