LYNNWOOD, Wash., November 27, 2023—The Lynnwood City Council will hold a Special Business Meeting on Monday, December 4, 2023, for the purpose of considering an ordinance regarding Off-Campus Emergency Department Zoning, an ordinance regarding updates to the Development and Business Services Fee Schedule, an ordinance regarding the 2024 Salary Schedule, and the approval of the Teamsters contract.
The meeting will be held at 6:00 pm in Council Chambers and remotely on Zoom at https://lynnwoodwa.zoom.us/j/81292681086. The regularly scheduled Work Session will begin immediately following adjournment of the Special Business Meeting.
A public hearing was held during the Lynnwood City Council business meeting on November 13 that pertained to the update to allow for smaller emergency medical facilities that can accept ambulances, something the council received a presentation on during their business meeting on October 23.
These facilities, according to MultiCare Vice President of Emergency Services Michael Mboob, are in between a full-fledged hospital and a clinic. They can take on patients a clinic would be unable to handle and route more serious cases to a fully equipped hospital.
During that meeting Mboob also emphasized the speed of these facilities.
“We do a 15-minute door-to-doc. That means when you come to our facility, you see a doctor within 15 minutes and we try to get you out in 120 minutes,” Mboob said. “So, really, an hour and half, you’re out back home sitting on your couch watching TV and relaxing versus when you go to a main campus, you’re sometimes there for 6-7 hours.”
The Lynnwood Times has reached out to the city for supplemental materials related to the ordinance regarding updates to the Development and Business Services Fee Schedule, an ordinance regarding the 2024 Salary Schedule, and the approval of the Teamsters contract, as these were not provided in their notice. This will be uploaded to the city’s website on Thursday, November 30.
