The Lynnwood Transportation Benefit District board plans to discuss its response to the defeat of a tax proposal on the recent ballot when the board meets in a special session Wednesday.
Proposition 1, which would have raised sales taxes in the city by 0.2 cents per dollar to pay for streets, sidewalks and other transportation projects, was trailing by a 53 percent to 47 percent margin in ballots counted through Monday, with about one percent of the expected final number of votes left to be counted. Voter turnout in Lynnwood is about 48 percent.
The TBD board, made up of the seven members of the Lynnwood City Council, is scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Council Chambers of the Lynnwood City Hall.
Council President and Board Chairman Loren Simmonds said Monday that the board would know more about what it will do next after the Wednesday meeting.
