Edmonds Mayor Mike Rosen is inviting the the public to attend his 2025 City of Edmonds budget address starting at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1 at the Edmonds Waterfront Center, 220 Railroad Ave., Edmonds.
Rosen will make the presentation along with Acting Finance Director Kim Dunscombe.
The presentation will also be livestreamed via Zoom here.
Doors to the event will open at 5:10 p.m. Closed captioning will be available.
A copy of the mayor’s proposed 2025 budget will be made available on the city website, and the video of the budget address will also be uploaded after the event for future viewing, the city said.
I think the candidates for Vice President of our country will be debating on TV around the same time.
Oct. 1 at 8 p.m. Central Time in New York City, I will watch Mayor Rosen on Zoom (thank you Mayor and EWC for allowing the citizens to zoom) and I will record Walz/Rantz and watch after.
Good idea!
Hey Nancy Fleck sounds like one exciting evening. I am looking forward to hearing Mayor Rosen the most. But it should be amusing at the very least watching Walz and Vance or Vantz ha I can’t keep em straight anymore ha. So have fun. Have your popcorn ready. 6 weeks and well it will probably take longer than that but …that is another story that we don’t yet know. Ya know I have always been a bit of a Smart A** but I didn’t used to be so cynical. I would prefer to just be a funny smart A** like in the good old days haha. XO.
I hope there will be a link to watch the Mayor Rosen speech later on MEN. I will be watching VP debate live with a friend
It is being livestreamed via Zoom so the recording will follow. We will also have someone there to cover the budget address. — Teresa
Let’s see, do we want to watch someone who once referred to Trump as another Hitler but is now his running mate for President, or someone who is trying to “stop the crazy” in Edmonds? Personally, I think Mayor Rosen’s cause is the more noble one, so I vote to watch him. We will see the other stuff in news bites and anti Trump commercials for the next five+ weeks anyway.
I am going for the Trifecta. I am not happy about not getting to zoom the CC meeting. Hi Y’all! Ha. So, I have now decided to record the CC on 21 and watch it as the last film. I may be up until the wee hours of the morning. For me the vice-presidential debate is more about morbid curiosity then actual information. I am always happy to see and hear our Mayor Rosen. And at this point I would actually miss seeing our CC too. That for me is just plain old curiosity nothing morbid about it. I appreciate our administrative personnel and all they do too. Making things zoomable is great for so many citizens. I know we have a ways to go but I do think the transparency is improving with what has been and is going on in our city. I believe knowing the problems for citizens is the best first step to get them to help with ideas or whatever they have to offer. Lots probably don’t have time. I guess that’s’ another great thing about retirement.
Looking forward to see him tip toe around the fact Edmonds will need to pay for the EMS it uses at fair market value via direct taxation or continue to raid the general fund until there is no money to fix a pothole. It should be great for laughs.
We need a new way forward with Fire & EMS. Fitch 2024 report, 8% of calls are fire. Municipalities are reducing taxpayer costs & increasing response times by separating the functions, responding with lighter and more fuel efficient vehicles. As highlighted by previous reports, regional fire authorities have no competition or incentive to manage costs.
In 2016 Fitch, highlighted this separation of fire & ems as a cost savings option. Time to hire up Edmonds EMS personnel.
