Impact fees are fees on new development and (in this case at least) limited to capital projects.

In theory, if a one-horse town grows enough, each new home pays for the department to buy a second horse.

In this case it is mostly just an update and it seems the fees will decrease.

Unanimous consent. Somewhat expected as these are low-dramw appointments.

Onto Fire Department impact fees with Chief Cowan.

And now the appointment of Amber Clark to the Parks and Tree board, filling a vacancy. This will be a 3 year term. Amber is an acquaintance and I am excited for her!

The new world order. Session resumes.

Deputy Mayor is 3 for Mork and 7 for Pobee. That concludes that. Quick recess.

He incorrectly identified her as position 2 and she corrected him.
January 6, 2026 at 3:10 AM
Onto election for Mayor. Shoreline has a weak-mayor system with a city manager doing most day-to-day. Nominations first.

Pobee nominates Robertson.
No other nominations. Unanimous consent

Sorry that the pictures are behind the head, it was the best I could do.
January 6, 2026 at 3:07 AM
Position 7, Chris Roberts. Mayor his last term and running for state assessor after this.
January 6, 2026 at 3:07 AM
Position 5, Eben Pobee.
January 6, 2026 at 3:06 AM
Second is Laura Mork, position 3 (something of a sticking point)
