For full meeting materials, visit the January 6, 2026 City Council Meeting Page.
Councilmember Edgar Chung was appointed by a unanimous Council vote. He fills the vacancy at Council Seat 5 that was created in December when the Council appointed Dean Hachamovitch, the previous seat holder, to be Mayor. Chung recently retired from his 20+ year career as an executive in high-tech to shift his focus towards social impact. He and his family recently moved to Clyde Hill from California.
The resident-led Financial Sustainability Task Force (FSTF) will make their final recommendations to the City Council on January 20, starting at 6pm at City Hall. Residents are encouraged to attend. For further information, please see the draft FSTF Meeting Agenda (check back late next week for full details). The Mayor and the City Council are grateful for the work done by FSTF Co-Chairs Jay Henningsen and Wayne Burns, along with Community Members Bruce Dodds, Amy Kwan, Neha Monga, Addie Ai, and Carl Picciotto…
