r---A' <br /> RESOLUTION # Z59C * Eai/FY <br /> ETT <br /> A RESOLUTION honoring the memory of Arthur F. "Bud" <br /> Alexander, the City's mayor between 1964 and 1968. <br /> WHEREAS, Past Mayor Bud Alexander insisted that the city and the citizens <br /> invest in roads and utilities for the future. Transportation lead to jobs, which was <br /> the basis for the City of Everett to develop an industrial format. He teamed up <br /> with another commissioner to get voters to pass a $4.5 million bond issue for <br /> roads, which became seed money for a state matching arterial program, and it <br /> helped make the difference for Everett. He took office as the state was about to <br /> complete construction of I-5 linking Seattle with Everett, and the Boeing Company <br /> was about to announce intentions to assemble a new jumbo jetliner in south <br /> Everett at Paine Field. <br /> WHEREAS, Under Past Mayor Alexander's administration, the city fought for and <br /> got a freeway interchange at 19th street, and replaced ancient wooden pipes <br /> bringing water from the Spada Reservoir in the Sultan Basin. <br /> WHEREAS, Bud Alexander was very close to both firefighters and police officers, <br /> and he worked hard to add personnel to both of these departments. <br /> WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Everett, representing the citizens of the <br /> City of Everett, hereby acknowledge and honor the service of past mayor Bud <br /> Alexander who was at the forefront of those who pushed the city out from under <br /> the old three-commissioner form of government to the strong-mayor form of today. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE <br /> CITY OF EVERETT: that the members of the City Council extend their sympathy <br /> to the members of his family. ri;- ' <br /> Councilman Introducing Res• e n , A ��► � <br /> PASS D and APPROVED this 19th day of Febru. --(92. <br /> 4 <br /> 111° <br /> l� I �y Arm %.ti�I mss- <br /> 7 cil President 1 ': on Mayor Pete ' nc <br /> Ali' I <br /> dr/ <br /> C--------- AdIPPir / i <br /> Cou man Frank ' nderson Councilman Bob Overstreet <br /> ) - <br /> 'lund • an Chuck oser Counci man Ed Diamond <br /> Counc man Doug C.mpbell <br />
