Brett Gailey to stay on Charter Review Commission
EVERETT — The night after Lake Stevens Mayor Brett Gailey announced his resignation, effective April 13, he walked into the County Council chambers to lead the Charter Review Commission meeting on Wednesday in Everett.
He shook four or five people’s hands and remarked on how his phone had been ringing all day.
“Apparently, when you announce your resignation from being the mayor of Lake Stevens, it causes an uproar,” he said at the start of the meeting. “But as long as I have an address in this county — in District 5 — I’ll stick with the commission.”
The Charter Review Commission is an independent elected body that reviews county laws and government structure every 10 years. It has until May 29 to send final recommendations to the County Council, which will then submit them to the County Auditor for placement on the November General Election Ballot.
