Public safety property tax levy on the agenda
The Lake Forest Park City Council had Resolution 26-2084 on the agenda for both its June 22 Committee of the Whole meeting and its June 25 regular meeting. The resolution would place a measure on the November 2026 ballot asking voters to authorize a regular property tax levy exceeding state limits under RCW 84.55 to fund police and public safety services beginning in 2027.
Because minutes have not yet been published for either meeting, it is not possible to confirm whether the council voted on the resolution or whether it advanced. The agendas list the item for consideration.
Road Safety Action Plan and master use permit
The June 25 regular meeting agenda also included the Road Safety Action Plan, listed as a third presentation/action item, and Ordinance 26-1317, a master use permit for Forged Fiber 37, LLC, also listed as a third presentation/action item.
