Executive to unveil Snohomish County budget proposal

EVERETT — Snohomish County Executive John Lovick is preparing to announce a recommended 2016 budget at noon on Wednesday.

The venue is the first floor hearing room of the county’s Robert Drewel Building at 3000 Rockefeller Ave., Everett.

Lovick has said he intends to propose a $4 million tax cut, shore up cash reserves for the county’s operating budget and support the Snohomish Health District, including the First Steps program for young mothers.

The County Council will review Lovick’s budget and could make substantial changes. The council typically approves the county budget by Thanksgiving.
