$870,000.00 for a 30-month pilot program to increase coordination and provide case management services for unsheltered people in Everett. Includes one full-time staffer.
$450,000.00 to fund studies on a bridge leading from the east end of Everett Avenue across the railroad tracks to the City Public Works properties and EPIC (Everett Point Industrial Center) near the Snohomish River.
$500,000.00 to develop a fully digital process for permitting and develop new technology to speed and streamline Everett’s permit process.
$500,000.00 to add public restroom access in areas of downtown Everett.
$600,000.00 to develop a three-year program called “Clean Everett” kicking off with a city-wide cleanup day and develop a see-click-fix tool where people can easily report issues needing attention such as potholes, blight and other problems.
The City will provide more specifics on each of the six programs as they become fully developed through quarterly reports to the council.
