SnoCo Council begins budget process
The Snohomish County Council has begun the budget process for 2010.
The council announced earlier this month that it would build the budget from scratch, rather than rely on the budget proposed by Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon.
As part of the budget process, the county is asking for public testimony. People can submit their budget priorities to the county by visiting http://web5.co.snohomish.wa.us/council/budgettestimony/.
Typically, the county council passes the budget at a November meeting prior to Thanksgiving.

SR 532/Mark Clark construction update
Washington state Department of Transportation (WSDOT) announced closures and possible delays for drivers for this coming week.
One lane of the 84th St. Bridge in Stanwood will be closed from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. tonight and Tuesday. Part of the new bridge deck paving did not adhere correctly, so WSDOT crews are redoing the two-foot-wide section.
In addition, on SR 532 east of Stanwood, crews will install new guardrails at night Wednesday through Friday. WSDOT advises that there may be delays. One lane will be closed between 28th Ave NW and 12th Ave NW on Wednesday and Thursday from 8:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. the next morning, and Friday from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. Saturday morning.
There will be work on SR 532 during the day this week, but WSDOT said it will not result in any closures.
