Critical Clyde Hill City Council Budget Meeting 

The Clyde Hill City Council will be holding an important budget meeting tomorrow, November 12th at 6:00 PM. This is the first of two public hearings on the city’s budget, and with our current budget deficit, it’s a critical opportunity to engage in discussions about potential tax increases and spending cuts. You can join online/call-in or in person.

One key item under consideration is a proposed 1% increase in the property tax levy. Additionally, city employees are currently considering unionization to protect their interests, which could add another layer of complexity to the budget. On the one hand, the process will increase costs. On the other hand, it also reflects a commitment from our city employees to invest in their careers and long-term service to the city.

As the city faces financial challenges, your voice matters. This is your chance to ask questions and express concerns about how these decisions might impact you and your community. Whether it’s the potential tax increase or other budget-related issues, we encourage you to attend and share your thoughts on the direction you would like the city to take.

We hope you’ll join us for this crucial discussion about the future of Clyde Hill. Your participation is vital in shaping the decisions that will affect us all.
