The Edmonds City Council is scheduled to discuss and hold a public hearing on the city’s fire and emergency medical services options during two meetings scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 3.
Both meetings will be in the council chambers, Public Safety Complex, 250 5th Ave. N., Edmonds and are also available for remote viewing and commenting via Zoom.
During the 5 p.m. meeting, the council will review an amended Regional Fire Authority Plan and pre-annexation plan that were approved by South County Fire Commissioners last week. During the 7 p.m. meeting, the council will provide community members with the opportunity to comment on these documents, the council conversations during the 5 p.m. meeting, and any other related topics.
You may provide a written public comment using the web form at www.edmondswa.gov/publiccomment.
The Dec. 3 meeting agenda will be published Nov. 27 here.
How can they hold a public hearing when the council itself hasn’t even heard the discussion or recommendations from their negotiating team? So, unless you attend the 5:30 meeting, you won’t know what to comment on at 7:00 during the public hearing. Did I get that right? What are they trying to cover up or slip under the rug?
I guess at this point I shouldn’t be surprised by anything that’s coming out of city hall.
