Edmonds City Council set to appoint interim advisory board for downtown BID Tuesday

The Edmonds City Council’s agenda has one main action item on its 6 p.m. Tuesday night meeting: appointment of members to an interim advisory board for the Edmonds Downtown Business Improvement District.

Tthe City sent a letter in February announcing the formation of the downtown Business Improvement District (BID) and requesting volunteers to serve on the interim advisory board, pending city council confirmation. The board will include both “open door” and “by appointment” BID members, “in rough proportion to the dollar value of assessments to be levied on each classification of businesses.” The members recommended by Mayor Dave Earling for appointment are:
Open Door

  • Pam Stuller: Walnut Street Cafe (410 Walnut Street)
  • Paul Rucker: Saetia (120 – 5th Avenue  South, Suite A)
  • Steve Balas: Waterfront Coffee Company (101 Main Street, Suite A)
  • Kim Wahl: Reliable Floors (542 Main Street)
  • David Arista: Arista Wine Cellars (320 – 5th Avenue South)
  • Mary Kay Sneeringer: Edmonds Bookshop (111 – 5th Avenue South)

By Appointment

  • Sally Merck: Sally Merck Counseling (543 Main Street, Suite 103)
  • Kevin Clarke: Clarke, White & Veenstra (100 – 2nd Avenue South, Suite 320)
  • Cadence Clyborne: HDR Engineering Inc. (123 – 2nd Avenue South)
  • Chris Fleck: Puget Sound Tax Services (514 – 5th Avenue South, Suite A)
  • Juliana van Buskirk: Edward Jones (313 Main Street, Suite 101)

Following consideration of the appointees, councilmembers will adjourn to executive session to discuss pending litigation — with “potential action” likely. Then, they will meet in committees as follows, starting at 7 p.m.:
