1. Call to Order - Roll Call

2. Land Acknowledgement

 We acknowledge that the City of Lynnwood is located on the traditional lands of the
 Snohomish Tribe and the confederation of Tulalip Tribes and their families. For
 generations, these Indigenous communities have lived on this land, and we recognize,
 support, and advocate alongside them.

 We also acknowledge the forced removal of Indigenous communities from their
 Homelands as a result of the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott. We understand that Land
 Acknowledgements are only the first step in our efforts to support Coast Salish tribes
 and educate non-Natives about their lived history. We strive to achieve this through
 building relationships with Indigenous communities, supporting Indigenous commerce,
 government-to-government partnerships, and lifting indigenous voices to create equity
 for all.

 Through these actions, we hope to not only pay respect to the past but also collaborate
 in creating a sustainable future, hand in hand with the first protectors of our shared
 environment.
