Council schedules interviews for Lynnwood Public Facilities District board nominees

Ryan Bush, tourism project manager, summarized recruitment for the Lynnwood Public Facilities District (PFD) Board and asked the council to confirm interviews next Monday for two nominees to fill Position 2. Bush said the recruitment drew nominations over the last 30 days and that packet materials include resumes, letters of interest and letters of support for Charles Burgess and Jacqueline Manaslostas.

"The next step in this process is for you all to determine and confirm that you do want to interview both candidates," Bush said. He also told council staff had received a resignation letter from Wally Webster (position 5), effective Oct. 1, and explained that position 5 is filled by council nomination rather than a public recruitment process.

Council members said both candidates appeared qualified; members discussed timing for interviews, the possibility of appointing at the same meeting, and onboarding scheduling tied to a board retreat in October. City staff and Bush will proceed with interview scheduling and candidate outreach.
