Summary
Councilmembers said the city has a proposal to fund a Climate Plan Administrator position from solid-waste utility tax revenues once the city’s immediate budget issues are addressed.
Lake Forest Park council and staff discussed progress toward creating a Climate Plan Administrator position.
Staff said a proposal exists that would fund the position from the solid-waste utility tax once near-term budget pressures are addressed.
