Lynnwood council forms workforce/labor task group and names chair

The Lynnwood City Council agreed to form a workforce/labor task group during the April 6 work session and identified three volunteers to serve on it. Council leaders asked for a chair and a timetable for work and return to the full council.

Council President Cueto asked for two to three volunteers and a chair; three members volunteered and Bryce was nominated and accepted the chair role. The group agreed to meet and produce a proposed timeline, with members saying they could return in roughly 30 to 60 days or by early June. Council President Cueto asked that the group coordinate with the mayor to avoid duplicating ongoing mayoral efforts.

What happens next: the task group will meet to decide specific meeting times and a schedule for delivering recommendations; council asked for an early June check‑in. No formal vote record was recorded in the work session transcript; the nomination and acceptance were made on the record and the council set an internal expectation for a near‑term report.
