EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> The Everett Housing Authority is the primary provider of housing and rental assistance for <br /> extremely low- and very low-income households in Everett. The Housing Authority is the owner of <br /> public housing units and other assisted units,provides rental housing assistance through the Section <br /> 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program, and develops housing units. <br /> Assisted Housing Units in the City of Everett consist of the following: <br /> Type of Housing Number of Units <br /> EHA Public Housing 788 <br /> Section 8 Certificates & Vouchers 2,252 <br /> Other Providers 1,997 <br /> Total of All Assisted Housing 5,037 <br /> 8. Solid Waste/Recycling <br /> In the city and the planning area, private companies, franchised by the State of Washington Utilities <br /> and Transportation Commission(WUTC)provide solid waste collection and hauling. Since 1974, <br /> garbage disposal has been the responsibility of Snohomish County, which operates several transfer <br /> stations, including the new Airport Road Recycling and Transfer Station at Paine Field, and a long <br /> haul rail loading facility located in northeast Everett. <br /> Recycling efforts are coordinated and guided through the "Comprehensive Solid Waste <br /> Management Plan"that was most recently updated in 1995 and adopted by the City Council. The <br /> update to the plan was prepared at that time to address changes in state regulations, and prepare the <br /> City for taking over solid waste responsibility in the event that on-going negotiations with the <br /> County were unsuccessful. The negotiations on costs of service and relocation of the transfer site <br /> were successful. As a result, the plan and the City's implementation program have a strong <br /> emphasis on waste reduction, waste prevention and recycling. <br /> III. Utilities <br /> A. Introduction <br /> The GMA requires that the City Comprehensive Plan include the general locations,proposed <br /> locations, and capacity of all existing and proposed utilities, including but not limited to electricity, <br /> gas and telecommunications. Gas, electric, telephone and cable TV utilities are viewed as demand- <br /> driven(i.e., following development). <br /> Utilities have been inventoried by individual providers. Most of these providers plan for the future <br /> in two to five year increments. (Appendix B, Utility Inventory, will contain maps and inventories.) <br /> CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT 28 <br />
