Resolution 3528 - Laserfiche WebLink

• Appellants offered no data to the record to support the assertion that there is a relationship between the proposal and alleged adverse impacts on human service programs. • The EIS employs the FIA to analyze social and human service impacts and means of addressing them. • The EIS did not identify significant adverse environmental impacts on social and human service programs or delivery systems which cannot be mitigated through the appropria- tion of tax revenues. • It is not the applicant's responsibility to mitigate these impacts, but rather local and state government. However, the record demonstrates that the Boeing Company donates hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to local charities. These include education, housing, children and family services, and youth programs. Boeing employees also donate millions of dollars annually to many of these same charities through the Boeing Employees Good Neighbor Fund (BEGNF) and United Way. Together the contribution of the Corporation and the employees represents a substantial percentage of the total charitable contributions for social and human services in Snohomish County. • Boeing has recognized the need to address these issues through seeking State assistance in an impact assistance program. Conclusions: • The record confirms that Appellants' assertions rely on incorrect calculations regarding the population and household numbers. • The record includes no data nor analysis to support appellants' assertions that an adverse impact to human and social services will be caused by the project. • The record does not identify significant adverse environmental impacts which cannot be mitigated through the appropriation of tax revenues. Decision: Deny the appeal and affirm the Decision Document as written with regard to this issue. 67
