1.) Do nothing and wait to see if Major League Baseball is bluffing. <br /> <br />2.) Build a new stadium downtown requiring numerous eminent domain acquisitions, costing $100 ‐$130 million dollars, <br />and having the Aquasox and Major League Baseball pay rent to the City of Everett. <br /> <br />3.) Refurbish the current stadium — Funko Field — on Everett School District property, have the AquaSox and Major <br />League Baseball continue paying more than $100,000 per year in rent to the Everett Public School District, and after <br />Funko Field is refurbished, establish an increased rental rate to be paid to the Everett Public School District based on the <br />new fair market rental value of Funko Field. <br /> <br /> <br />Refurbishing Funko Field would cost far less than building an entirely new stadium as proposed by the City of Everett. <br />After refurbishing Funko Field, rent is still paid to the Everett Public School District. <br /> <br /> <br />I support Refurbishing Everett Memorial Stadium ‐ Funko Field ‐ in Everett, Washington. <br /> <br />I oppose the construction of a New Baseball Stadium in Downtown Everett, Washington. <br /> <br />John E.

We are paying more for less, a lot less than we did a few <br />years ago. The increased tax demand along with the heavy inflation has been difficult for my family and everyone else's to <br />make ends meet. Adding the burden of the a large share of the stadium only adds to it. <br /> <br />Let's put the stadium to a vote in the August primary. <br />Let the people decide if they want to by MLB a new stadium. <br /> <br />TJ Norris <br /> <br />Sent with Proton Mail secure email. <br /> <br />On Monday, May 12th, 2025 at 10:00 AM, john martin <jmartinnoj@hotmail.com> wrote: <br />Thanks Mike. <br /> <br />Part of your comments were: <br /> <br />Why not tear down YOUR home and place of employment to put a stadium that we already have that no one <br />wants? ...
