AEDs. The motion passed unanimously.

City Administrator Paul Ellis reviewed the proposed resolution supporting the replacement
of the SERS Radio System and encouraging Snohomish County to develop funding options

support in replacing the radio system. Discussion followed. Mayor Pro Tem Marilyn Oertle

now being proposed to extend for an additional 10 years. Discussion followed.
