The City of Snoqualmie is actively seeking residents to serve on the con committee for the August ballot measure concerning Proposition 1, a Public Safety Sales Tax Levy. This proposed measure aims to increase the city’s sales and use tax by 0. 1%, facilitating enhanced funding for public safety services. The city's administration is encouraging community participation, emphasizing that diverse perspectives are vital in discussing the implications of this levy.

The involvement of local citizens in such committees is crucial for fostering transparency and accountability in governance. This initiative reflects the city's commitment to maintaining and improving public safety resources, which are essential for community well-being. The proposed tax increase will allow Snoqualmie to better equip its safety services, addressing the growing demands of the community. Residents are urged to consider this opportunity to influence local policies that directly affect their safety and quality of life.
