Everett Districts with Streets (1)
Proposal-District Elections in Everett-final (2)
At the city council presentation on September 30th, council members voiced their desire to have the charter review committee consider city council districts. Dunn will be presenting her proposal to the Charter Review Committee at a future meeting.
It has also been suggested that council districts be determined by income bracket to better represent all of Everett with 1 district having a household income under $25,000.00 a year, 2 districts, $25,000 – $50,000 a year, 3 districts $50,000 – $100,000 a year and 1 district $100,000+.
Whatever the Charter Review Committee decides, it is only an advisory board and the city council does not have to implement any recommendations.
Other things the committee is expected to look at in the coming weeks include changing the name of those who serve on the city council to councilperson instead of councilman and removing the requirement that there has to be a city council meeting every week.

Their next meeting is set for this Thursday at 4:30 PM in the Wall Street building.
