Edmonds could lose 46 jobs, other cuts looming amid budget woes
EDMONDS — Under a proposal presented by Edmonds Mayor Mike Rosen on Tuesday night, the city would need to cut 46 positions to help balance its budget.
That’s only the beginning.
Over the next year, the city would need to take out an internal loan of $7.5 million, annex existing fire services into South County Fire by the end of the year, furlough nonunion staff for 12 days and pass a levy lift to balance a $13 million deficit, said Rosen and acting Finance Director Kim Dunscombe in a presentation to City Council members.
No single problem led to the city’s financial predicament, the mayor said, and no single solution will get the city out of trouble.
