Arlington City Council to vote on airport position, tribal grant on Monday
The Arlington City Council discussed renewing law enforcement task force agreements and a hotel land dedication at a June 22 workshop but took no formal action. On Monday, July 6, the council will consider creating a temporary airport position, accepting a Stillaguamish Tribe grant, and waiving fees for a Federal Aviation Administration lighting project.
Council workshop: drug task force, ALERT, land dedication
The council met June 22 in a workshop format, which typically does not include votes. Agenda items included renewing interlocal agreements for the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force and the Allied Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) for 2026, acceptance of a Washington State Office of Public Defense Simple Possession Advocacy Response (SPAR) grant, and a right-of-way dedication of real property from Medallion Inn and Suites. The council also reviewed the May 2026 financial report. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published.
Monday's meeting: airport position, tribal grant, lighting fees
The July 6 regular council meeting has several action items:
- Creation of a six-month temporary Operation Specialist position at Arlington Municipal Airport.
- Acceptance of a Community Contribution Grant from the Stillaguamish Tribe to address impacts from the Angel of the Winds Casino.
- A request to waive city fees for the FAA Runway 34 Approach Lighting Project at the airport.
The consent agenda includes renewal of the two law enforcement task force agreements and acceptance of the SPAR grant, all of which were discussed at the June 22 workshop. The right-of-way dedication from Medallion Inn and Suites does not appear on Monday's agenda.
