Mukilteo puts emergency medical services measure on ballot

MUKILTEO — The Mukilteo City Council voted Monday to place a six-year emergency medical services measure on the ballot this summer.

The proposal would allow voters to decide whether to lift the property tax levy rate. The primary election is Aug. 7.

A “yes” vote would bring the regular property tax levy rate from $0.39 to $0.50 per $1,000 of assessed value for collection in 2019.

The city is seeking people to write the pro and con statements for the voters pamphlet. Volunteers should be available in the next few months to draft these statements, based on deadlines set by the Snohomish County Auditor’s Office.
