Lynnwood mayor vetoes council's scrapping of car tab fees
LYNNWOOD — The Lynnwood City Council and mayor again are facing off over the city’s vehicle license fees.
Lynnwood Mayor Christine Frizzell on Monday vetoed the ordinance that would eliminate its $40 fee by Jan. 1. The council had approved the ordinance in a 4-2 vote last week.
“Vehicle license fees are a fair and equitable funding source for our city streets,” Frizzell told the council while reading from prepared remarks. “In this way, vehicle owners who drive on our streets and contribute to the deterioration directly subsidize the ongoing maintenance and long-term care of our roads through these fees.”
No one else spoke about the car tab fee decisions at the council meeting Monday night.
