Action Item 8(a) Public Hearing and Discussion on Resolution No. 437 - Approving Placement on the Ballot of a Countywide Levy Proposal for Funding the Medic One/Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Levy for the Period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2025

The current six-year EMS Levy will expire on 12/31/2019 and must be renewed to maintain the current system. Shoreline is one of 11 cities in King County with a population greater than 50,000. A supermajority (8) of these cities must approve the Levy's placement on the ballot in November.

This public hearing is to receive citizen comments on the proposed King County EMS levy,
