Under the new statute,the first step is for Council to pass a resolution that states the City's intent to hold a hearing regarding the assumption of the TBD. Since the City's assumption would be done by ordinance,the hearing would be at the third reading. Here is the proposed schedule: December 16: First Reading and Staff Briefing December 24: Second Reading December 30: Public Hearing and Third Reading RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): Adopt a Resolution indicating the City's intent to conduct a public hearing concerning the assumption of the rights,powers, functions and obligations of the Everett Transportation Benefit District. 53
