EMS - how much do we want?
Wed, Mar 10, 2010
Mukilteo residents have some tough decisions to make in the coming months, as more information comes out about the future of EMS and the cost of providing it. One thing is certain: voters will face a levy in the fall. How much that is and whether a bond for vehicle replacement will accompany it hinge on input from upcoming town hall meetings, the first most likely in April. "One of our goals is to keep truing up our costs," finance director Scott James said. "We need to give our vehicle replacement schedule a really good scrubbing; it hasn't had one since I've been here."

Wed, Mar 10, 2010
The wheels on the buses will stop going round and round Mukilteo on Sundays and holidays beginning June 13, due to a significant budget shortfall at Community Transit.

Fixing the mess at the waterfront
Wed, Mar 10, 2010
It's a problem that's growing faster than the solutions that might fix it. As thousands of island residents and tourists drive on and off the Mukilteo-Clinton ferries each day, it's increasingly harder to manage them along with the local traffic - both vehicles and pedestrians - trying to access waterfront businesses, Lighthouse Park and the Mukilteo train platform.
Dispatch system moves into 21st century
Wed, Mar 10, 2010
When SNOCOM executive director Debbie Grady started her emergency dispatch career 17 years ago, there were a lot of notebooks, pens and paper in the process. Emergency services have evolved along with the technology age, with virtually everything computerized now. "Now it looks like a Star Trek command panel, with multiple computer screens," she said of the dispatchers' workstations that can access information from all over the United States. Even that current system seems archaic compared to what SNOCOM is about to roll out for 2011.
