Member Reports:
Tom visited Howarth, Harborview and Silver Lake areas. He reported that Mark Harrison
and Bob Hillman attended his neighborhood meeting and they did a great presentation on the
Howarth Park improvements. Tom was very happy with their presentation and said that it was well
received. Tom also shared that the golf course at Legion Park is in incredible shape. Toms son;
Kendall Norcott, is a wildlife biologist and he has created a history of Howarth Park publication
which Tom will share with the board.
Katrina reported that she is happy to have the lights back on at Garfield. She noted that the
public is pleased as well. The electrical box levels are high, but they will be on grade when the new
pathway is installed.
Pamela and Laura did not have an update to share with the board currently.
Michael discussed that the tennis courts at Clark Park have been booming. Similarly, the
Lowell Park pickleball courts have been very busy. Michael inquired about covered sports court
options so that these sports do not have to be so seasonal. He noted that the Adopt-A-Park
Program might benefit from reaching out to neighborhood groups. Rucker Avenue received a large
dump of mulch and looks nice without the weeds in that area. Mulch was also dumped on the
Grand Avenue side of the bridge and this needs to be taken care of. Kimberly will have the
maintenance group handle this.
Linda War Bonnet inquired about the horseshoe pits at Forest Park. She also brought up the
possibility of nontraditional park play equipment. This type of park would incorporate loose logs
and other nature objects. Bob commented that there may be liability considerations when making
nature artificial, but it is interesting to consider the concept of what makes a park a park.
Parks and Facilities Director Report: Bob Leonard
Bob discussed that Linda War Bonnet has agreed to renew her Board term through 2021 to
remain on the Board for an additional year. Her term was set to expire at the close of the 2020 but
by retaining her seat for an additional year she can help keep the continuity in across a difficult year.
We do need to begin to prepare for the election of officers at our December Board meeting. The
budget ordinance will be read at the next Council meeting and the last chance for citizen comment is
November 18th. The City is considering eliminating nine of the 9-month seasonal positions and
replacing them with 6 full time hires. The City will provide benefits to these full-time staff and
eliminate cumbersome rehiring and retraining of this seasonal work force. Parks will continue to
employ other seasonal staff. This year golf has set round records as well as and revenue records.
Council Liaison Report: N/A
Tree Committee Staff Report: Paul Crane
Kimberly would like to begin utilizing Linda’s proposed tree report format in January. There
were no questions/comments regarding the tree committee staff report included in the packet.
Silver Lake Trail Project Update: Dean Shaughnessy
Dean Shaughnessy presented CAD drawings and discussed the proposed Silver Lake Trail
Project with the Board. Dean will be leading this coalition with Public Works. Citizens and City staff
have long wanted a continuous loop trail around Silver Lake. Much of this loop trail is currently in
place by way of existing streets and sidewalks. The largest piece of trail that is missing is the trail
through Thornton A. Sullivan Park. Dean discussed the plan to remove the Bothany house and the
adjacent maple tree. He showed the trail path which will be routed to the west of restroom, utilizing
a lot of the existing pathway. The anticipated trail will be 10 ft. wide and asphalt surfaced. The trail
will be ADA accessible. Snohomish County may provide $80,000 of funding support. This project
coalition is comprised of experts in many departments including storm water management and
property management. Dean shared plans to combat erosion issues along the trail.
The next step in this process is public outreach. Dean will attend the November 17th Silver
Lake neighborhood meeting to discuss this project. There are possibilities of right of way issues
near the Ibberson road area. Ibberson road will need to be redefined as mixed-use road for
pedestrians and vehicles. We may experience some push back regarding the increase in traffic that
the trail may cause. The City property management group will be handling land issues/land disputes.
The Board brought to light the eagle nest, and popular fishing areas in this area that will likely draw
people to this trail. It was also noted that this area is a beautiful contributor to the quality of life for
the City of Everett residents. The entire trail will be within the city limits. Currently, the project
budget for the Silver Lake Loop Trial is $500,000 with an additional $80,000 in possible funding
from Snohomish County. There is further funding planned for the playground and restrooms at
Thornton A. Sullivan Park.
The Board brought up concerns about the narrow road in terms of providing mixed usage.
There were also noted concerns about not increasing parking in the area. This lack of parking could
pose issues to the trail goers and to the residents of the area. Satisfaction was expressed regarding
how mixed-use paths help move towards overall climate control goals by providing transportation
options. The total distance of the trail once complete will be approximately 2-3 miles. The Thornton
A. Sullivan Park section of the trail will be made to be ADA accessible. Proposed considerations to
the Silver Lake Trail Project included building/providing a delineating marker or barrier between the
trail and resident properties and considering inventive design and art ideas along the trail. Dean
explained that in the areas adjacent to the beach, landscaping or buffering is not required but in
other areas landscaping will be done.
Sport Field and Playground Opening Status: Bob Leonard
Bob discussed the recent Governor repeal on inter team sport play. Earlier this year, the
Governor allowed inter team sport play and the City quickly started scheduling games at Kasch Park
and Phil Johnson Ballfields. Due to the high demand for these game times we filled up spaces at our
facilities very quickly. Unfortunately, will be closing the fields to inter sport play once again due to
the most recent Governor mandate. Practices can continue to be scheduled.
Seattle’s playgrounds are currently open, as are many other local municipal playgrounds. An
issue that the City is trying to combat is the public’s difficulty in delineating which playgrounds are
open, and which are not. In addition to this lack of public knowledge, some people are simply
ignoring or destroying regulatory signage and caution tape. The City would like to begin posting “use
at own risk” type of signage and open the playgrounds for use with these in place. The Board
would like to wait on reopening of playgrounds.
Urban Forestry Grant: Bob Leonard
Bob shared the City’s intent to apply for the Urban Forestry Grant. This grant could help
offset some of the costs of the Urban Forestry section of the PROS plan. We currently have enough
time to complete and submit this grant before the deadline. Dean has been in discussion with the
DNR about these details and we will move forward with submission.
Public, Private Partnership RFP Update: Kimberly Shelton
Kimberly shared with the Board that 12 companies responded to the Public, Private
Partnership RFP. We are currently in the middle of the process, so the names of the organizations
are all that is available to share currently. The 12 organizations who submitted proposals are listed
below. Some agencies submitted proposals for multiple locations and are therefore listed more than
once. The City’s collaboration with Premier Golf expires at the end of 2021. Consequently,
proposals for golf were entertained and one golf agency submitted.
Premier Golf Centers, LLC PGC Interbay, LLC Volunteers of America Western Washington
Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens YMCA of Snohomish County
USSSA Washington Hydrology Stand Up Paddle
USSSA Washington Synergo
Sasquatch Sport Performance Health Fitness Corporation
T & L Nursery, Inc The Superlative Group
PROS Plan Update: Kimberly Shelton
The City is very excited for the latest PROS Plan. The last time the PROS Plan was updated
it was a smaller update. This time it will be a large new plan. The City has received 6 proposals. Since
this is just the beginning of this process the only information that can be shared are the names of the
organizations who submitted proposals. The 6 organizations are listed below:
Burke Consulting Gglo Architecture
Greenplay LLC Beckwith Consulting Group
Pros Consulting MIG
The City aims to decide upon an agency and have them under contract this year. The
deadline is 2022 but the goal is to get someone under contract this year in order to implement their
work all next year (2021). It is the intent of the City to make sure that the PROS Plan is a guiding
document to steer the department over the next 6 years and that the plan provides explicit direction
on how to proceed as a department. Some of the categories of this plan are the urban tree canopy,
and park impact development fees.
Cultural Arts Grant Applications: Kimberly Shelton
The Cultural Arts commission will allocate $40,000 to nonprofit art entities in the Everett
community through their grant process. Kimberly will check to see if neighborhood associations can
apply for this at the request of the Board. Applications are being accepted at this time.
Project Updates: Chris Lark
Chris updated the Board on relevant department updates as the project update document
was reviewed. The most notable updates are listed below:
• The Cope Gillette Theater lease amendment and the EPAC management fee
amendment will both go to council on November 4th.
• The Lowell Park sport courts are 100% complete.
• The Forest Park sport courts are 50% complete.
• Garfield Park Pathways have been delayed due to weather. The new anticipated start
date is April 2021.
• The Howarth Park upper area is in the design development stage based on
comments generated at the October 20th neighborhood meeting.
New Business
The Board discussed potential use of the Norton Park greenspace. This area is school district
property but in the past the City has looked at it. It is unfortunately located near other, nicer, park
areas. Parking is also limited in this area.
The substantial tree planting in front of the Jackson apartments received praise from the
Board and has been well received by the public. Similarly, the newly opened view section at Howarth
Park has received public support.
