Snohomish County Council approves legislative page program to allow student daily stipends
Summary
At its March 24 administrative session the Snohomish County Council unanimously approved Motion 26-134 to authorize a legislative page program modeled after the Washington State program; the motion permits the county to pay a student daily stipend but the stipend amount was not specified in the meeting record.
The Snohomish County Council voted 5–0 Tuesday, March 24, 2026, during its administrative session in the Jackson Boardroom and via remote connection to approve Motion 26-134, authorizing a legislative page program modeled after the Washington State program and enabling the county to pay a student daily stipend.
Chief of Staff Heidi Bizzizzo presented the program to the council, saying the proposal was modeled on the state program and that the motion "simply authorizes the program so that we can use that to pay the, student daily stipend." Bizzizzo identified the program design and the stipend payment mechanism as the core purpose of the motion.
Council chair Dunne thanked Bizzizzo for her work establishing program guidelines and coordinating the effort. Dunne said the staff had spent substantial time preparing the proposal and expressed appreciation for Bizzizzo's role in that work.
The motion was moved and seconded during the session; the transcript does not record the names of the member who formally moved or seconded. The council then voted; the record includes a vocal roll-call comment, "Terry votes aye," and the chair announced the motion "passes 5 to 0." The motion record and vote tally were entered in the administrative session minutes.
The meeting record notes that a related staff report would appear at the GLS session on March 25 for full staff detail. The meeting transcript did not specify the dollar amount of the student daily stipend or identify the precise funding source for the stipend.
