Monica Lamboy

At the Everett City Council Budget Hearing for Admin and Finance on May 27, 2026, Monica Lamboy, the chief development officer, presented the newly created Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development. She opened by introducing herself: “Thank you. Good evening, everybody. I’m Monica Lamboy, chief development officer.” Lamboy said, “The Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development is a new department,” and thanked council members “for voting for that structure.”

Lamboy explained that she oversees “our planning and zoning, our transportation and mobility, and our inspectional services departments” under one umbrella. She said the purpose of the structure is “to enhance coordination among the departments” and to help manage “these really large developments that are heading our direction, as well as the small developments, investments in single-family homes, 2-family, 3-family.” She described the department’s goals as supporting infrastructure and assisting with development needs, stating, “Our goals overall is to help with the infrastructure.”

On budget and staffing, Lamboy said the department is intended to support the operating departments rather than expand them. “I mean, I think, certainly, in the foreseeable future, the goal of the Mayor and myself is to make sure that the operating departments have the resources that are available to them that they need to do the work,” she said. She also stated, “I don’t see adding personnel here in this department.”

Lamboy addressed coordination questions directly. When asked about board and commission membership, she said, “Through the President, I do not know the standing membership of all of the various boards that I’m here to speak on,” and added, “I do believe the Mayor’s office committed to sending you the data after the meeting.” She also said, “Absolutely. We meet weekly, but pretty much every day,” indicating frequent coordination with related departments. In response to a question, she confirmed, “Correct.”

No votes were recorded for Lamboy in this segment. She presented the department budget, described efforts to streamline permitting and improve information for applicants and the public, and supported the budget as presented.

Monica Lamboy, the city’s chief development officer, appeared before the Everett City Council to provide an update on the Everett Square renovation design. She opened by saying, “Good evening, Madam President and members of the city council,” and identified herself as “Monica Lamboy, chief development officer for the city of Everett.” She explained that council had previously accepted the most recent grant for the project and had asked for an update on the design.

Lamboy told the council that “the funding that has been allocated is already fully available” and that “the vast majority of it is for outside grants,” with “some city money” also allocated. She cautioned that if the project did not move forward, “we run the risk of losing about $1,500,000 of grant money.” She also said she was working with the planning team and hoped to return with ideas tied partly to CDBG allocations, which she said could help support local businesses.

In describing the design changes, Lamboy addressed traffic, seating, lighting, bus stop relocation, and outdoor dining space. She said the plan was not to add parking or remove parking: “This does not add parking, but it also does not take away parking.” When asked about the bus shelters, she said, “We were not planning on heated,” but added that she would “see if that is an option and what that would cost.” She also confirmed the space would be lit in the evening, saying, “We do want it to be lit so that it’s integrally lit and will always be lit in the evening, which I think will make people feel very comfortable to be in that space.”

On other follow-up questions, Lamboy said she had not yet asked about phone charging: “I have not asked that question,” and promised, “Let me find out if that’s an option.” She also said she would “double-check” the question about whether two parking spaces were being deleted.

No votes involving Lamboy were recorded in the extracted meeting activity.
