Mukilteo meeting

Proclamations include Happy Birthday, Mukilteo! and National Police Week.
The agenda includes financial updates and a discussion about the current form of government from its strong-mayor system, with the head of government elected separately by voters, to a council-manager form, in which the council chooses one of its own members to serve as mayor.
