(Will not be matched. ) a. This project funding will not be matched with street overlay funds . Because of the lack of information available to City Staff and City Council on this project the passage of this Ordinance does not mean, in any way that this project is feasible or the City is willing to take over ownership of the Lowell Fire Hall. At this time we do not know the exact cost of acquisition , operation and maintenance of the Lowell Fire Hall. The setting aside of these funds means the City of Everett is willing to study the potential for acquisition of the Lowell Fire Hall . A report will be put together for the Mayor and City Council by the Planning Department on the feasibility of the acquisition of the Lowell Fire Hall. The report will be put together after information is gathered from: (1) Parks Department , (2) Finance Department , (3) Lowell Civic Association members , and (4) Library - N.W. Room . After Administration approval, the City Council will receive a report and recommendation on the acquisition of the Lowell Fire Hall feasibility .
