CITY OF EVERETT FISCAL ANNEXATION ANALYSIS Neighborhoods The Department of Neighborhoods works to strengthen neighborhood associations and supporting activities in order to encourage engagement in civic life. The Department currently has 2.0 FTEs. Annexation under both Scenario 3 and 4 is estimated to require an additional 0.5 FTE in the Project Coordinator position. Senior Center The Senior Center is currently staffed with 4.0 FTEs to serve citizens of the City over the age of 55 and provide a place for continued learning, social interaction, and some medical services. For both annexation Scenarios this staffing is anticipated to increase by 1.0 FTE, 0.5 in the Administrative Assistant position, and 0.5 in the Office Specialist position. Municipal Arts The Municipal Arts Department focuses on integrating the arts, culture, and diversity into the community. No additional staffing is projected upon annexation for either Scenario 3 or 4. Engineering The Engineering Department is one of the larger departments within the City, housing 53.0 FTEs. In addition to engineering, permitting and inspecting services are also performed by this department. Annexation under Scenario 3 is anticipated to cause a need for 4 additional FTEs. These increases are for engineering, technician, and inspection positions. Annexation under Scenario 4 increases the need to 5.5 FTEs in the same positions. Police Department The Police Department currently serves the City in 11 beats with a total of 243 FTEs including commissioned and non-commissioned staff. Exhibit 20 shows Everett's beats, as well as contemplated annexation areas for comparison. The Department will likely reconfigure its beats upon annexation based on geography and call levels.
