The City Council has reviewed the Declaration of Sergeant Chris Bennett, and/or has heard other <br />sworn testimony; <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND EVERETT CITY COUNCIL THAT: <br /> <br />The City Council adopts the attached recommendations for Prohibited Areas related to areas of drug <br />trafficking. <br /> <br />_________________________________________ <br />Councilmember introducing resolution <br /> <br /> <br />Passed and approved this 28th day of June, 2023. <br /> <br /> <br />______________________________________ <br />Council President
