The Lynnwood City Council approved two ordinances at its meeting Monday: the annexation of the old Alderwood Middle School site and adopting an ordinance into city code specifying requirements to hold elected office. The council also heard public input on repealing Lynnwood’s retail cannabis ban.

Kicking off the meeting was a proclamation honoring National Hispanic Heritage Month – from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 – accepted by Karina Gasparin from the Snohomish County Latino Coalition and other community advocates.

The council unanimously approved an ordinance – spearheaded by Councilmember Patrick Decker – specifying requirements around councilmember residency and prohibiting a councilmember from holding another paid elected office.
