Snohomish County Council moves two administrative items to committee; staff circulates draft public-meeting guidance

The Snohomish County Council on June 3 moved two administrative agenda items to committee for assignment and reviewed a staff notice that a draft public‑meeting document and parliamentary procedure materials had been circulated for comment.

The moves to committee were made without objection during the council's administrative agenda meeting held in person at the Willis Tucker Park Building in Council District 4 and remotely. The council opened the meeting for public comment but recorded no in‑person or online speakers during the allotted public‑comment period.

The action to refer the two items was finalized during the administrative agenda portion of the meeting; the council also reported there was no new report on pending legislation and that outside‑committee reports were part of the administrative update. Acting Chair Mead called the roll and the meeting recorded four members present.

A chief of staff advised the council that staff had circulated a draft Snohomish County Council public‑meeting document and materials on parliamentary procedure and asked members to review them and submit any comments. The council chair gave no formal report and there was no executive session.

The meeting opened with standard public‑comment instructions: speakers are allotted 3 minutes, must state their name and city of residence, and remote participants raise hands in Zoom (press 9 on the phone) and press 6 to unmute when called on. The administrative agenda proceeded to committee assignment and scheduling for committee review.
