Council considers, then declines, further action on Everett regional sports complex funding
Summary
Council President Coelho presented resident petitions about Everett's use of state funds for a proposed Everett multipurpose event center; staff research found the funding source was the Department of Commerce Public Facility Improvement Fund, and council showed little interest in pursuing further action.
Council President Coelho summarized citizen petitions asking Lynnwood to ask Everett to find alternative funding sources for a planned $125 million Everett multipurpose event center. Coelho read a staff response quoting an email from former parks director Lynn Sordell showing Everett's $7.4 million award came from the Department of Commerce Public Facility Improvement Fund, not the State Youth Athletic Facility Grant Program.
Coelho asked whether council wished to pursue a resolution; after a short discussion and clarifying questions, the council indicated little interest to proceed and Coelho said he would consider the request resolved for lack of council interest.
What happens next: No action was taken and the item was closed for lack of council interest.
