The city of Lynnwood is now accepting applications for the 2005 Lynnwood University being held Sept. 15-Nov. 10.
The program is aimed at helping citizens become more involved in the city. Students gain a better view of how municipal government works and have opportunities to visit various sites around the city including the fire station, police station, Heritage Park and the wastewater treatment plant.
“Government works best when citizens get involved. We created Lynnwood University so people could learn how the City of Lynnwood works, and how they can become part of the process,” said Mayor Mike McKinnon. “Lynnwood University is an informative and fun way to learn about the city.”
Each weekly class will cover a new set of topics presented by city department directors and other senior staff members. Topics include the history of Lynnwood, budget, law, police, fire, court processes, community planning, public works, parks and recreation, and public involvement.
The 2005 Lynnwood University will mark the third year that the program has been in existence. Originally designed for up to 35 people, the 2005 Lynnwood University has been expanded to accommodate 60 students due to public interest. Classes will be from 7–9:30 p.m. on Thursday evenings for nine consecutive weeks.
Citizens interested in registering for the 2005 Lynnwood University classes or would like more information about it should go to the city website at www.ci.lynnwood.wa.us or contact Cyndie Eddy at 425-670-6286.
