• <br /> February 24, 2021 <br /> Council Member Roberts reported on his attendance at the Northwest <br /> Neighborhood meeting last Thursday on behalf of Council Member Murphy. He <br /> also reported that he attended the Snohomish County Committee for Improved <br /> Transportation (SCCIT) meeting last evening and the Everett Housing Authority <br /> public workshop on Baker Heights. <br /> Council Member Vogeli spoke about an email received two weeks ago from a <br /> community member requesting the enactment of a 75-foot buffer zone around <br /> Planned Parenthood to provide privacy when entering and exiting the building. <br /> She stated that after review of the issue, she would not be bringing forward a <br /> request for a bright-line buffer zone around Planned Parenthood, which would <br /> require the adoption of an ordinance by Council. Council Member Vogeli <br /> requested that Everett Police take reports from anyone being harassed at Planned <br /> Parenthood. She also reported on her attendance yesterday at the meetings of <br /> the Historical Commission and the Casino Road Stakeholders'. <br /> Council Member Murphy provided a liaison report on his attendance at the Public <br /> • <br /> Facilities District meeting. He also expressed concern about a funding gap of over <br /> $11 billion faced by Sound Transit, which was recently reported by the Seattle <br /> Times. Considering the budget shortfall, Council Member Murphy stated that he <br /> is concerned that the voter-approved Sound Transit 3 Plan to complete the Everett <br /> spine may not occur. Council Member Murphy proposed the following actions: <br /> 1. Request a detailed briefing from Sound Transit to address the status of the <br /> funding gap and the impacts for Everett. <br /> 2. Develop offensive legislative strategies, with the assistance of the City's <br /> legislative consultants in Washington, D. C., to work with U. S. Senators. <br /> 3. Review the City's, and possibly Snohomish County's, legal options to hold <br /> Sound Transit accountable. <br /> Council Member Murphy stated he would forward to council members a copy of <br /> the Sound Transit Board 1994 Resolution stating its intent with respect to future <br /> light rail service to Everett, as well as the referenced Seattle Times article. <br /> President Stonecipher stated she would work to gather additional information and <br /> to schedule a future Sound Transit briefing. <br /> r <br /> 2 <br />
