CITY OF EVERETT FISCAL ANNEXATION ANALYSIS <br /> 7.0 POLICY OPTIONS & CONSIDERATIONS <br /> 7.1 Facilities <br /> Based on the annexation analysis, we estimated approximately 37 FTEs resulting from annexation for <br /> Scenario 3, and 79 FTEs for Scenario 4. The City owns and maintains a number of facilities, which <br /> may be impacted differently upon annexation and long-term with City growth. <br /> General Government <br /> • Scenario 3:39 FTEs due to annexation, 80 more FTEs through 2027 with City growth <br /> • Scenario 4:80 FTEs due to annexation, 80 more FTEs through 2027 with City growth <br /> According to conversations with the City staff, there appears to be excess capacity within the current <br /> City Hall to house additional general government FTEs. Some departments are currently housed in the <br /> City's Service Center, but could be moved to the City Hall if needed. <br /> Fire Department <br /> • Scenario 3:the Fire Department would serve the additional area from the existing City Fire Station <br /> 7;therefore the facilities needs are not pressing. <br /> • Scenario 4:this analysis assumes that Hilton Lake Fire Station will be acquired from Fire District 1 <br /> as part of the asset transfer. <br /> Police Department <br /> According to the Everett Police Department, the police facilities are currently operating at capacity at <br /> both the main headquarters building as well as the South Precinct in terms of parking, locker space, <br /> and office space. At present the department uses leased or off-site office space for Special <br /> Investigations and will use off-site office space for the anti-crime teams when they are staffed and <br /> deployed. Further, the police department uses off-site leased space to house all property room <br /> functions. <br /> • Scenario 3:the addition of police officers will require leasing additional space likely either within <br /> the current headquarters building or the South Precinct. The cost of additional police facilities is <br /> not included in the model as it is dependent upon City decisions of facility location and financing. <br /> • Scenario 4.• according to the Everett Police Department, this scenario may require an additional <br /> facility on the east side of 1-5, considering that the south precinct is too far from the annexation <br /> area. The department would like to have contact with the citizens they serve. <br /> Final Report:October 2008 Page 44 <br />
