Renton Council approves placing countywide Medic 1 EMS levy on November ballot
Summary
The Renton City Council adopted a resolution this meeting concurring with the Committee of the Whole to place a countywide Medic 1 Emergency Medical Services levy on the November 2025 ballot covering 2026–2031.
The Renton City Council voted to adopt a resolution approving placement of a countywide Medic 1 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) funding levy on the November 2025 ballot.
The Committee of the Whole recommended that the council concur with staff and adopt the resolution; Council President Albertson moved adoption and Council Member Perez seconded the motion, which passed on a voice vote.
The adopted resolution authorizes placement of a levy to fund Medic 1 EMS for the period from Jan. 1, 2026, through Dec. 31, 2031, pursuant to RCW 84.52.069. The council’s action was taken by voice vote with the clerk calling for “aye” or “nay”; the motion carried.
Why it matters: placing the measure on the ballot begins the local process of asking voters to approve a property tax levy to fund countywide EMS services for a defined multi‑year period. If approved by voters, the levy would provide a dedicated revenue stream for Medic 1 for the dates specified in the resolution.
The council’s adoption followed the Committee of the Whole report; no additional public hearing or formal roll‑call vote tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
