• 5. Citizen Committee The Mayor directed staff to use an ad-hoc citizen committee to review the NOI's submitted in response to the NOA. This committee consisted of 6 citizens representing a cross section on interests in the community. The committee met three times and made a recommendation on the re-use plan, with direction to staff to review other potential uses of the site as a contingency in the event that part of the plan, which is dependent on a subsequent action by the City Council under a separate planning process, is not consistent with the future action taken by Council. D. Notices of Interest 1. Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County (DVS): Submitted a proposal to remodel the existing buildings on the Oswald site for a) emergency shelter for victims of domestic violence; b) administrative offices for staff that provide support of the victims of domestic violence; and c) daycare for children of residents of the emergency shelter. 2. Everett Community College (ECC): Submitted a proposal to use the existing property and buildings for public safety training programs for law enforcement and fire/medic emergency services as an expanded component of existing educational programs at the nearby ECC campus. 3. Archdiocesan Housing Authority of Seattle/Catholic Community Services: Submitted a proposal to partner with a non-profit homeless service provider (who would use the north half of the property) and develop permanent housing for homeless veterans on the south half of the property. Shortly after submitting its NOI, the Archdiocesan Housing Authority of Seattle/Catholic Community Services withdrew its NOI. The citizens committee heard presentations from both ECC and DVS explaining in greater detail each organization's proposal for re-use of the site. During the course of consideration by the citizens committee, ECC withdrew its NOI, leaving only the DVS NOI proposal for the reuse of the Oswald ARC property. E. Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County Notice of Interest(NOI) The following information has been provided by DVS concerning their proposed re-use of the Oswald ARC property. 1. Overview of Project Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County (DVS) proposes to re-use the existing structures at the Oswald Reserve Center to shelter victims of domestic violence and their children and to provide a service center for 24-hour crisis line, support group and advocacy services. Re-use of the Oswald Center will allow DVS to expand their shelter capacity from fifteen (15) beds to sixty (60) beds, expand staffing from twenty-five (25) to forty-one (41), thereby enabling them to provide housing and support services to 600 victims of domestic violence annually. The current annual number of victims receiving housing and support services is 217. 5
