RESOLUTION NO. 7830 <br />A RESOLUTION Declaring an Emergency for Purposes of Waiving Competitive Bidding <br />Requirements for Clean-up, Removal and Replacement of Poles and Netting at Legion <br />Memorial Golf Course After Damage Caused by the Windstorm on November 4, 2022 <br />WHEREAS, <br />A.The City operates Legion Memorial Golf Course in North Everett. A neighbor of the golf course <br />is the Everett Community College’s Early Learning Center, which provides childcare for infants to <br />children age five. <br />B.Along the boundary between the golf course and the Early Learning Center are 80-foot poles <br />and netting that protect the Early Learning Center from golf balls. <br />C.A regional windstorm occurred on Friday night, November 4, 2022.

Net Services has responded with a proposal for about <br />$310,000, for clean-up, removal and replacement of the poles and netting.
