WHEREAS, the package also includes local transportation financing options that will allow <br /> Sound Transit to take an "ST3" ballot measure to the public in 2016, and that will better allow <br /> cities and counties to address their backlog of mobility and maintenance needs; and <br /> WHEREAS, the transportation package also invests in grant programs vital to cities and <br /> counties, including the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB), Freight Mobility Strategic <br /> Investment Board (FMSIB), "Complete Streets," Safe Routes to Schools, and Bicycle- <br /> Pedestrian Safety; <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COUNCIL OF <br /> THE CITY OF EVERETT THAT: <br /> 1. The Mayor and Everett City Council strongly support a comprehensive and balanced <br /> transportation investment package, including direct funding, grant funding, and financing <br /> options for local governments. <br /> 2. The Mayor and Everett City Council urge that in the refinements to a transportation <br /> package by the House and that in House-Senate negotiations, the Legislature look to add <br /> projects from the "North Puget Sound Manufacturing Corridor" list if possible, and that the <br /> Legislature ensure a full suite of revenue options for Sound Transit to best ensure an "ST3" <br /> ballot measure with funding levels that enable Light Rail Transit (LRT) connections into <br /> Everett. <br /> 3. The Mayor and Everett City Council urge the Legislature and the Governor to enact and <br /> sign into law a 2015 transportation revenue-and-reform package. <br /> 4. This resolution shall take effect and be in force immediately upon passage. <br /> !2 <br /> C uncil Member Introducing Resolution <br /> PASSED and APPROVED at a regular, open public meeting by the City Council of the City of <br /> Everett, Washington, this 25th day of March, 2015. <br /> F. . ill Ile /4 1 .I. -/.A AA.a, _...„,„„_,),, ,.._ <br /> ionanson, I yor - • :-de • �cil President <br /> is � \: <br /> Scott Murphy, Counci f ice P Psident -on Gip •- • - -r <br /> diriliii`_vorprmw ,----, ,, <br /> '""( <br /> Je•' i ,ore,rou it Member Paul Roberts, Coun .1 Member <br /> f-p .,...etet._ ),(01_,L,_:/iL____ _ <br /> 411 --) lift— <br /> Br da Ston ci er, Co ncil Member Judy Tuohy, Councilember <br />
