• • Libraries <br /> • Public Housing <br /> • Other City Facilities (buildings) <br /> What follows is a summary of these facilities; the inventory, location, forecast for future <br /> needs, six-year plan and funding sources. <br /> 1. Emergency Services -- Fire and Police <br /> (a) Fire protection. City fire protection is provided by the Everett Fire Department. Mutual aid <br /> agreements also exist with neighboring jurisdictions and special districts. The Department <br /> currently maintains six stations throughout the city; a seventh is being planned for construction. <br /> (See Police and Fire Capital Facilities Map on page 13.) Two of the stations (Stations 2 and 4) <br /> have recently been relocated to new buildings. The structures at the original locations of these <br /> two stations are no longer used for fire protection activities. <br /> A variety of resources are housed within each of the six stations, depending on demonstrated <br /> need. (These include fire engines, ladders, fire fighters, etc.) The four-minute response time <br /> goal is met by the appropriate distribution of these resources. <br /> Ambulance services are provided by two sources: (1) private companies are contracted to <br /> transport victims for non-emergency needs, and (2) the city maintains basic life support and <br /> advanced life support ambulances within its own fleet for emergency situations. The city's <br /> hazardous materials van is also under the jurisdiction of the Fire Department. <br /> The Everett Fire Department undergoes an annual review and analysis for evaluation of its <br /> current and future (20-50 years) operations. Decisions regarding transfer of equipment and <br /> personnel or possible expansion of facilities are based on these analyses. <br /> (i). Inventory and location. See map on page CF-13. <br /> (ii). Forecast for future needs. Everett's Fire Department meets or exceeds response time <br /> targets for most fire call situations. Outside of Everett's boundaries, fire and emergency <br /> medical service is provided through mutual aid agreements with fire districts. The number of <br /> fire fighters per capita is among the highest of any city in the state. The percentage of city <br /> budget dedicated to fire service is among the highest in the state. This commitment is expected <br /> to continue. <br /> (iii). Proposed location and/or expansion of new or existing facilities. The city has approved <br /> the construction of a new fire station (Fire Station No. 7) to serve the areas to the south of the <br /> city where growth is expected for the remainder of the decade. Additionally, the city plans to <br /> complete improvements already underway on Fire Stations 2 and 4. See Table on page CF-33 <br /> for details. <br /> (iv). Six-year plan funding sources. Construction of Fire Station No. 7 is proposed for <br /> completion in 1995. Funding is from general obligation bonds Station 2 and 4 improvements <br /> are general fund expenditures. <br /> (b) Police protection. Police protection in the incorporated area of Everett is provided by the <br /> City of Everett Police Department. The Department works cooperatively with other law <br /> enforcement agencies as set forth in interlocal agreements. <br /> Currently, the Police Department maintains 196 full-time employees. Jail facilities are provided <br /> by the Snohomish county department of Corrections. Police Department operations are presently <br /> 1.0 <br />
