Frank Percival introduced himself to the Lynnwood City Council on May 15 as an applicant for position 5 on the Tourism Advisory Committee (the lodging-tax advisory seat). Percival said he has lived in Lynnwood about 14 years and serves as president of the Lynnwood Chamber of Commerce. "This is just another opportunity to serve the community in a city that I'm very proud to be a resident of," he said.
Council members asked a few brief questions and offered endorsements. Council Member Decker said she had been impressed by Percival’s contributions in past LTAC meetings and praised his ideas; Council Member Coelho asked whether his Public Facilities District board role enhanced his ability to serve on LTAC, and Percival described both roles as tools to benefit the community and said he would help steward city resources.
Council members expressed support, and staff indicated next steps for moving the candidate forward in the appointment process. No formal appointment was made at the work session.
