Divided council leaves Lynnwood vehicle license fee in place
LYNNWOOD — An effort to erase the city’s $40-a-year vehicle license fee has failed, again.
City Council members opposed to the assessment lacked enough votes Monday to overcome Mayor Christine Frizzell’s veto of an ordinance to end collections in 2023.
The council deadlocked 3-3 on a motion to override the veto with members George Hurst, Patrick Decker and Jim Smith in favor, while Shannon Sessions, Julieta Altamirano-Crosby and Josh Binda were opposed. Council Member Shirley Sutton was absent.
Hurst, Decker, Smith and Sutton passed the ordinance last month. They needed a fifth council member’s vote to counter Frizzell’s action.
