Julio <julio.cortes@leg.wa.gov> <br />Subject: RE: Who tried to take money from the School District? <br /> <br />Hello John, <br /> <br />I can provide some clarifying information, based on my understanding of the project and as a member of the Fiscal <br />Advisory Committee for this project. But the county is not directly involved in this funding or the project. <br /> <br />It’s my understanding that there was a budget allocation for several baseball stadiums across the state in the last state <br />budget. As you know, the current stadium is owned by the Everett School District but the study for a new potential <br />stadium was supposed to be funding directed to the City of Everett. What you are seeing is the correction that was made <br />last year to re-allocate the funding to the City for the study. It was an error to direct the funding to the school district as <br />they were not taking the lead on a new stadium study. <br /> <br />I believe Ian Saltzman with the ESD or Rep Cortez would be the best people to confirm that information. They are both <br />copied. <br /> <br />Best,
