Ordinance 2161-96 - Laserfiche WebLink

(c) Emergency medical. Ambulance services are provided by two sources: (1) private companies are contracted to transport victims for non-emergency needs, and (2) the City maintains basic life support and advanced life support ambulances within its own fleet for emergency situations. The City's hazardous materials van is also under the jurisdiction of the Fire Department. The Everett Fire Department undergoes an annual review and analysis for evaluation of its current and future (20-50 years) operations. Decisions regarding transfer of equipment and personnel or possible expansion of facilities are based on these analyses. 2. Libraries. The City of Everett owns and operates one main library, one branch library (Evergreen) and one bookmobile. (See City Buildings Capital Facilities Map on page 15.) This includes approxi- mately 63,500 square feet and approximately 232,500 volumes. Funding for library services is primarily through property taxes, with other minor sources occasionally available. The Everett Library has approximately 86,000 registered borrowers; approximately 55% are Everett residents. Approximately 65% of all Everett residents are registered borrowers. The remaining borrowers come from other jurisdictions to use the library. The City library is guided by the Library Board endorsed five-year plan entitled "The Shape of Things to Come--the Everett Library Long Range Plan from 1991-1995". 3. Parks/Recreation The development of parks and recreation facilities in the Everett area is guided by the City of Everett's Parks and Recreation Plan (1992-1997), the National Recreation and Parks Association standards and the 1985 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan. Existing facilities and open space include a combination of regional, community and neighborhood parks, trails systems, boat docks/launches, swim centers, a variety of playing fields (soccer, baseball, softball), golf courses, numerous public school facilities (primarily outdoor areas), meeting halls (in regional parks) and portions of Everett Community College. (See Parks and Golf Courses Map on page 16.) The Parks and Recreation Department has recently completed an in-depth demand analysis of their facilities and services. This analysis is currently being used to formulate long-range goals for the provision of facilities and services over the next twenty years.

Sewer/Water/Stormwater The City of Everett has an adequate water supply and sewer system capacity for the planning horizon. There will need to be an ongoing review and monitoring of the adequacy of the water supply and sewer system capacity as a part of the water and sewer plan updates. The functional water and sewer plans are referenced as a part of this document and will be reviewed and updated as needed to assure adequate water supplies and sewer system capacity. (a) Sewer. Sanitary sewer service in the Everett area is provided by the Utilities Division of the City of Everett Department of Public Works. While all areas within the existing city boundaries are serviced, certain areas located within the interim UGA drain into other systems to the south of Everett. (See Sewer System Capital Facilities Map on page 12.) Depending on the degree of new growth for the city, the wastewater treatment plant expansion may need to occur sooner than originally planned.
