Should the City of Edmonds move from a one-year to a two-year budget cycle? How can the city better engage citizens in the budget process? What should the city prioritize and de-emphasize in the 2022 budget? Those were among the topics discussed during the Edmonds City Council’s budget retreat Saturday afternoon via Zoom.
The meeting facilitator was consultant Mike Bailey, a former finance director for the cities of Redmond, Renton and Lynnwood, who also ran a similar budget retreat for the council in 2020.

By Sue Stafford Tuesday, February 2, 2021 11:42 AM • Robinson & Owen Heavy Construction, LLC, secured a public improvement contract in the amount of $73,496.36 for the 2021 Locust-Cedar alley waterline replacement project. The project is part of the 2017 Water Capital Facilities Plan to upgrade old undersized lines within the distribution system.
The project entails replacement of four four-inch steel lines, believed to have been installed around the 1940s, with new six-inch C900 PVC lines in alleys south of Washington and Jefferson between Cedar and Locust.
The project also includes the replacement of the existing affected service lines with new three-quarter-inch copper lines with lead-free brass fittings. The project will begin late February and take about 90 days to complete. Property owners will be notified prior to start of construction.
