What the records say

Why it matters

EMS levy funding supports the emergency medical services Bothell residents rely on, and this agreement would govern how that money flows to the city from 2026 through 2031 1. Because the item was placed on the consent agenda, it would have been approved with a single vote unless pulled for separate discussion 1. The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome 1.
