Ordinance 3454-15 with Exhibits A- C

EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (ii) Forecasts for future needs. Vertical growth in the downtown building inventory, and its increased density may bring more service requirements in the future. In addition, two large developments are underway; one in the Central Port area and one in the Riverfront area. Outside of Everett's boundaries, fire and emergency medical service is provided through mutual aid agreements with fire districts. The number of fire fighters per capita is among the highest of any city in the state. The percentage of City budget dedicated to fire service is among the highest in the state. This commitment is expected to continue. (iii) Proposed location and/or expansion of new or existing facilities. There are no new facilities being proposed for fire services at this time. (iv) Six-year plan funding sources. No new facilities proposed at this time. (b) Police Protection. The City of Everett Police Department provides police protection in the incorporated area of Everett. The Snohomish County Sheriff provides this service in the unincorporated portion of the planning area. The Department works cooperatively with other law enforcement agencies as set forth in interlocal and mutual aid agreements. Currently, the Police Department maintains two precincts and a property/evidence room. Jail facilities are provided by the Snohomish County Department of Corrections. Police Department Headquarters and the North Precinct are presently located in the William E. Moore Historic City Hall located at Wetmore Avenue and Wall Street. The south precinct located on Everett Mall Way and West Mall Drive was opened in 2002. The police department leases space for a 16,000 square foot evidence room located at 2722 Colby Avenue. Other facilities include additional office space in the Culmback Building, 3015 Colby, a police firing range, 800 block of Mukilteo Blvd., a police impound lot on Railway Avenue, fleet parking at Fulton and Pacific and 3 police substations throughout the City. The 2011 Climate Action Plan for Municipal Operations stated that the police department could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by: the addition of three additional bike patrols; the addition of four additional motorcycles; expanding the use of hybrid/electric vehicles in the police fleet; and the employment of compressed workweeks for administrative positions to achieve commute trip reduction. (i) Inventory and location. See Figure 1- Police and Fire Capital Facilities Map for locations of policies facilities. (ii) Forecast for future needs. Everett has consistently staffed to meet needs. It is anticipated that the City will continue to staff at levels sufficient to maintain close to current service levels at least for the remainder of the decade. (iii) Proposed location and/or expansion of future facilities. There are no new facilities being proposed for police services at this time. The police department expects the property room will need replacement within the next five years due to growing demands for property/evidence storage. (iv) Six-year funding sources. No new facilities planned at this time. CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT 19
