Tallman said she has met with city staff and board members and invited council and residents to visit the center for lunches, activities and volunteer opportunities.

The presentation noted Tabitha Shoemaker as the board president and said the center seeks additional board members. Tallman emphasized local collaboration and said she is \"ready to roll up my sleeves\" to expand programming for seniors and multigenerational activities.

Webster described the program as a community-led effort formed after several youth homicides and other violent incidents and said it brings together city and community leaders from South Duwamish County to support youth safety and prevention.

Webster singled out Officer Luther Russell and Officer Matt Porter for their roles in outreach. He described the cops-versus-youth basketball games as \"bridges to trust, to dialogue, to hope,\" and said Russell connects authentically with youth by sharing his life experiences and encouraging direct contact. \"He reminds everyone in the room that there is a real person behind the badge,\" Webster said.

Webster asked the council to recognize the officers' work and expressed appreciation for the Access Project's focus on prevention and relationship-building.","Wally Webster, a resident of Lynnwood, told the Mountlake Terrace council about the ACCESS Project and praised Officer Luther Russell and Officer Matt Porter for youth outreach, citing cops-versus-youth basketball as a trust-building program.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6076238,"Mountlake Terrace announces pool closure for liner repairs; launches financial sustainability task force recruitment",94,750000,844000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2971112-70e08cec49cdbd64bff9e2d123550b33&start=750&end=844","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2971112-70e08cec49cdbd64bff9e2d123550b33/thumbnail_750000.jpg","/articles/6076238/Mountlake-Terrace/Snohomish-County/Washington/Mountlake-Terrace-announces-pool-closure-for-liner-repairs-launches-financial-sustainability-task-force-recruitment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6076238-5d3fa46e14f815911457ef4abf13e808/orig.mp4?Expires=1771204751&Signature=TqTLpdAkFWYv12ElV7bJmwHIiMygmCDz759ukx3vZ4awvtMlCMQMA0dvx5kHzJfNlQ6qKQ0yH-TUdUj2KyM87FB0LsUZIgnj-SMs9NX~304GWwupDiBDBFfKATxLJyz9Ni0QOjLYzae-4RMWLMZTWaJyrmkuroT8MqQwhDoq8TDhsphh7Nuin~YRjx2qnEDoESJ1AIyKPu3oVJozGfUjkaAglnvvm4b-029xFXJ5v2zEmeOnMJqhfR3n3H4zQxiTWSRglN74KXWrJ2a9dj11GsS1wY2k1mc64t~jXfILsEa5K1ZFxtDxJ3cFpYayd8ZY3n-CvVu0YGnosP5t1xqeEg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Manager reported several operational items at the April 10 Mountlake Terrace City Council meeting. The city announced the community pool will be closed from May 9 through June 30 to allow replacement of the pool liner. The manager said the closure is intended to ensure safety while repairs are completed.

The City Manager also announced the launch of recruitment for a Financial Sustainability Task Force; recruitment opened that day and the manager said the process will close later in the month and the city will bring recommendations to council for appointments. During the report, the manager highlighted recent code-compliance work that improved a location along 66th and said the city is preparing to paint water tanks.

Council did not take formal action on these informational items during the meeting. The City Manager said staff will answer questions and provide updates as projects progress.","The city manager told the council the community pool will close May 9–June 30 for liner repairs.

The city manager told the council the contract continues funding from the 2023–24 biennium and that the city will contract directly with the Chamber rather than routing funds through EASC as before.

Council members asked for more detail on the contract deliverables and how the Chamber would track spending. \"So they're getting almost $50,000 a year. Do they actually have, like, a project management plan where they track how they spend their money?\" a councilmember asked. The city manager said the Chamber would provide professional staff for marketing and administration and is required to deliver an annual report of deliverables to council on or before Dec. 15 each year.

Councilmember Steve Woodard asked staff to provide examples of how the funds would be used in practice and suggested the council could review that material before the contract is finalized. The city manager agreed to provide the Chamber strategic plan and to request a more detailed breakdown of expenditures. With those clarifications, council agreed to place the contract on the consent agenda for May 1.

The contract change from a pass-through to a direct contract and a pro rata termination clause were highlighted in the presentation. The transcript records no formal roll-call adoption; council directed staff to include the contract on the May 1 consent calendar, where the full contract and final vote will appear.","City staff presented a two-year contract with the Mountlake Terrace Chamber of Commerce for economic development and business engagement services; council asked for a clearer breakdown of deliverables and staff will place the contract on the May 1 consent calendar.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6076248,"William Page sworn in as Mountlake Terrace councilmember for Position 3",3001,95000,3096000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2971112-70e08cec49cdbd64bff9e2d123550b33&start=95&end=3096","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2971112-70e08cec49cdbd64bff9e2d123550b33/thumbnail_95000.jpg","/articles/6076248/Mountlake-Terrace/Snohomish-County/Washington/William-Page-sworn-in-as-Mountlake-Terrace-councilmember-for-Position-3","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6076248-05b9f243746795ac4cf5dcef8dad0f8b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771204751&Signature=ORxztOrCLJOAT4Y9S6yVSJp5-b19o5vKexauiwi9sOEInVNPaY8yi5vxMbNZpUI4mCajIAUTikWJ8rSHTLFnNcVL11wYexjrQWcWVHn1U3OJyE3DyUwBgIAB~CzjW2fS2objDwb3vF2RaepWzbHbQTrPvKgg~I1G-rexsxbLS0WsCtbJokvAAsW9UXpKzM2m8aGAhoFGjG39Cr5kdCYajaPmP67GDfEl1cmUDv06urhl1ZU3MLzSpitROhyVoHe9U92wGERCoW24yHjuG9O-uL3~Ch90tODLoCGimqX-4jXNDWfD3eZCLy-n1pMyfgk3cbqyCmEIk66gSiiwyyX1bg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Councilmember William Page was sworn in to Mountlake Terrace City Council Position 3 during the council meeting on April 10, 2025. The oath was administered at the council dais and followed a brief procedural agenda change earlier in the meeting to accommodate the swearing-in.

Page, who took the oath in a public ceremony, thanked the council for appointing him. \"I just wanna take this opportunity right now to, first of all, thank the, the council for the decision of appointing me, to this position,\" he said. He used his remarks to acknowledge family, colleagues and community supporters, and said he looks forward to listening and serving.

The meeting record shows an earlier motion to move Agenda Item 5 to Item 2 so the swearing-in could occur sooner; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The motion mover and seconder were not identified by name in the transcript; the council proceeded to conduct the oath and then completed the roll call.

No formal roll-call vote to appoint Page is recorded in the provided transcript; the swearing-in itself is recorded in the meeting minutes. Page later offered further remarks of gratitude on the council floor, noting the role of local community groups and DEI commissioners in encouraging civic participation.

The swearing-in concludes a public step in seating the new councilmember; the council returned to scheduled business afterward.","William Page took the oath of office at the Mountlake Terrace City Council meeting April 10 and thanked council members and supporters after being sworn in to fill Council Position 3.","actionData","errors"]
