Snohomish County Council approves Everett ILA, property inventory, bridge surplus and several appointments
Summary
At its Feb. 18 meeting the Snohomish County Council unanimously approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Everett for downtown improvements, the annual county inventory, surplus designation for a historic Granite Falls bridge tied to a federally funded replacement, and multiple appointments.
The Snohomish County Council unanimously approved a package of routine and project-related items at its Feb. 18 general legislative session, including an interlocal agreement with the City of Everett, the county’s annual inventory of assets, designation of a Granite Falls bridge as surplus, and several appointments.
Debbie Mock, council staff, described an interlocal agreement to renew partnership with the City of Everett to enhance and maintain the safety and economic vitality of Downtown Everett. The county’s contribution was listed as $78,347.97 for the first year — a 12% increase from 2025 — and the agreement includes a 3% annual increase. Mock said the total cost over the five-year term is "$415,960 and a penny." The council moved and approved the motion to authorize the county executive to sign the agreement, 5-0.
The council also approved the annual inventories of county-owned personal and real property, which staff said must be submitted by the statutory deadline and filed with the auditor’s office. That motion passed 5-0.
Public Works staff explained that a bridge identified in the record as Granite Falls Bridge 102 must be removed because of a federally funded replacement project that the staff estimated at $22,000,000. Mock said the replacement is subject to the Federal Highway Administration requirements, including 23 U.S. Code 144; the county is required to market and attempt to donate the bridge to a state, locality or a responsible private entity to preserve its historic features. The council approved declaring the bridge surplus and pursuing disposition consistent with federal requirements, 5-0.
Nicole Corley, council staff, presented a reappointment of Deborah Hoover to the citizens commission on salaries of elected officials (motion 26-093); the council approved the reappointment, 5-0. Council staff also presented the nomination of Brian Holtzclaw to the Snohomish County Planning Commission; with no public testimony the council approved the appointment (motion 26-055), 5-0.
All motions noted in the meeting were moved, seconded and approved by roll call with unanimous votes. The meeting concluded with no additional public hearings scheduled.
