EXHIBIT L 4 FAZE !OF V June 24, 2011 I-Ion. Ray Stephanson,Mayor City of Everett 2930 Wetmore, Suite 10-A Everett, WA 98201 RE: William E. Moore Commemoration Dear Mayor Stephanson: This letter is submitted to you on behalf of the undersigned individuals who worked with William E. ("Bill")Moore in his capacity as Mayor, Councilman and/or community leader. The purpose of this communication is to request that you initiate the process for naming a city facility in Bill's name. _ We don't make this request lightly. This commemoration for Bill is deserved for more than time in service. While Mayor Moore is recognized for his effective leadership and passion in advocating for Naval Station Everett, we also believe that Bill provided an outstanding commitment focusing on infrastructure that is an integral part of the City that we have today and one that will continue to benefit Everett into the future. Southwest Everett today, a regional employment center for 36,500 people, was developed as a result of the infrastructure that was constructed under Bill Moore's vision. That is a significant compliment to a Mayor who left office 21 years ago. We believe that the list of accomplishments that Bill either achieved during his terms as Mayor or initiated that later became accomplished is impressive and extensive. His ability to work with the City Council and the community leaders to assure the success of those significant undertakings speaks well of Bill's vision and resolve. Mayor Bill Moore understood that even during difficult times, a great City could develop on the strength of having infrastructure in place to provide the foundation for a strong economy, new employment and job retention. In some measure,we owe the quality of life we enjoy today to sound initiatives begun by Mayor Moore. We believe Bill should be appropriately recognized for his many contributions to the City of Everett. A list of some of these contributions is enclosed with this letter. It is our request that old City Hall be formally designated "The William E. Moore Historic City Hall". Respectfully, we would request that you, in consultation with your Staff and the City Council initiate the procedure for commemoratively naming of this City facility after Bill Moore. Thank you for your consideration.
