The City Council has considered the criteria under Sections 3 <br />and 4 of that 2012 resolution and finds that the changing the street name to "Officer Dan Rocha <br />Way" meets the applicable criteria, specifically Section 4, which states that: <br />The City Council, after consideration of the criteria in Section 3 and public <br />comment, may elect to name or rename any City building, public place, facility, <br />structure, park or natural feature or rename a street contrary to the provisions of <br />this policy if it determines there is sufficient reason to take such action. Such <br />action by City Council shall be by resolution. <br />L.The impact of Officer Rocha’s death on the Everett Police Department and the Everett <br />community is an exceptional circumstance that warrants a change in the street name. <br />M.The change of the street name does not conflict with maintaining sequential, numerical, <br />alphabetical, or historical naming patterns. <br />N.The City Council has held a public hearing and received public comment. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: <br />1.The recitals above are hereby incorporated into this Resolution by this reference. <br />2.The City Council approves the change-of-name request.
