RESOLUTION Page 4 of 4 <br />J.After considering all of the information described above, public and agency comment, the <br />environmental, social, economic, and other relevant factors, the City Council has decided to <br />select the Downtown alternative (as described in the final EIS) for the proposed Multipurpose <br />Facility. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: <br />Section 1. The “WHEREAS” provisions of this resolution shall constitute findings, <br />determinations, and conclusions of the City Council, which are incorporated by reference as if fully set <br />forth herein. <br />Section 2. The City Council has considered the School District site alternative for the proposed <br />Multipurpose Facility, the Downtown alternative for the proposed Multipurpose Facility, and a no-action <br />alternative. <br />Section 3. The City Council has determined that no-action is not an acceptable alternative <br />because Major League Baseball would then require the AquaSox to leave Everett. <br />Section 4. The City Council selects the Downtown alternative as the location for the proposed <br />Multipurpose Facility. The selection is based on the findings of the final EIS, which show that <br />environmental impacts for the downtown location will be generally comparable to the present and can <br />be appropriately mitigated. This selection is also based on the Downtown alternative having superior <br />economic impact, jobs impact, available parking, alternative uses (soccer and concerts) and pedestrian <br />and transit connections as compared to the School District site alternative, in addition to avoiding the <br />scheduling conflicts inherent in the School District site alternative. <br />Section 5. This resolution is solely for the purpose of selecting the location for the proposed <br />Multipurpose Facility. It is understood that the proposed Multipurpose Facility project still requires <br />funding and other elements, which are not yet in place. <br />_________________________________________ <br />Councilmember introducing resolution <br />Passed and approved this _____ day of ___________________, 2024 <br />______________________________________ <br />Council President <br />18th December <br />Scott G.
