Member Reports:
Tom reported that he went golfing several times and visited the North Marina Trail, Boxcar
Park, and Mukilteo Waterfront. He was also able to experience the new terminal which he reported
that he enjoyed very much. He has been e-biking at Howarth park and said that all parks are in good
shape; they are safe and well kept.
Michael shared that the Bayside Pea Patch had a work party. The trashcan was previously
moved at this location and Michael was thankful that this was rectified. Michael noted that Pack-It-
In, Pack-It-Out initiatives might be an issue when people don’t have a place to pack it out to. He
commented that the Jackson Park’s newly planted trees will look great and will create a nice forested
area. He brought up the City of Monroe’s survey process and proposed following their survey model
process in our effort to solicit feedback. The annual heritage tree project put on by the City of
Monroe was discussed. E-sports such as competitive online gaming are growing in popularity.
Katrina shared that the Riverside Park electric outlet worked well with the Christmas lights.
There was an attempted theft of these lights, but this was unsuccessful. She reported that the
Garfield Park pathway lights are working well.
Pamela visited Doyle Park to see what shape the playground is in and she commented that
she is glad it will be repaired. She also noted that he little park on Rucker hill looks orderly. She
traveled to Silver Lake in order to get a conceptual vision of what the Silver Lake loop trail might
look like.
Sergiy did not have an update regarding parks. He commented on the nice new Mukilteo
ferry.
Laura did not have an update to share
Linda brought to light the press release regarding the Colby Trees and discussed the large
amount of negativity this has received on social media. She believes that the information shared with
the public did not provide enough information on the Colby tree project and left out key topics such
as the mitigation program and the long-term plan. Linda shared that the City has received criticism
over this lack of information online.
Parks and Facilities Director Report: Bob Leonard
Bob shared with the Board that the holiday lights at the arboretum were very successful and
that over 1000lbs of food were collected. He shared the current temporary closure status of
Wetmore plaza. The greenhouse lease is progressing well and this transfer of operations to T & L
nursery will begin next week. The Mayor’s state of the City address is scheduled for January 28th.
Bob discussed that it is now the appropriate time of the year to review open public meeting legality.
We will seek out a review of this legality with the City lawyer as an agenda item at a future meeting.
We have received many comments and questions regarding the proposed Silver Lake trail. Bob
noted that the City is anticipating a public meeting on this specific topic at the end of this month or
early next month.
Council Liaison Report:
Brenda Stonecipher has been elected as Council President. Council assignments such as
Council Member Stonecipher’s liaison role with the Park Board will be extended at least until they
can hold the Council retreat on February 10th. Council will focus this retreat on determining the best
ways to conduct business amidst new COVID safe work practices. They will also focus on the best
ways to meet the needs of our public and administration.
Citizen Comments:
Debbie Gomes, an Ibberson Road resident shared her concerns about the proposed Silver
Lake loop trail. She shared her concerns regarding what she described as the inability to maintain
safety on Ibberson Road. She believes that the City does not have legal grounds to implement a trail
through the proposed location. She asked if it is possible to notify the whole neighborhood of the
next possible meeting and brought up the question of the legal requirement for this notification. It
was stated that the City will do their best to contact all the individuals who live in that area. Debbie
is the Captain of the Ibberson Neighborhood Watch and through this experience, she believes the
trail’s implementation would invite crime into the neighborhood. She stated that the whole
neighborhood is concerned about the potential trail.
A second resident of the Ibberson neighborhood, Melissa, pointed out that the City has
previously stated they will be notifying homeowners, but the residents have not been contacted since
November. She also stated that some of the homeowners are out of the State/Country and that
sending post cards to the addresses where the individuals don’t reside is not an adequate notification
in her opinion. Melissa expressed concern that she believes information is not being shared
appropriately. She asked why the City is not offering the information needed in order to make safe
decisions. She also shared that with the limited space in the area, it is difficult to back out of her
driveway in the Ibberson Road neighborhood. She shared that there is interest in a trail, but this
must be done in a safe way. She explained several issues in the area such as lighting, ADA
accessibility, space issues, and the lack of police response in the area. She shared that to her
knowledge, the conversations taking place at this meeting have been raised previously and that she
believes taxpayer dollars are being wasted in discussing them/bringing them up again. Melissa was
adamant that lawsuits will be filed and that the Ibberson (Neighborhood) homeowners believe they
own the property in question. She stated her belief that the proposed Silver Lake loop trail is not
healthy and constructive recreation. Melissa shared her understanding that the top of Silver Lake
road would be a better place for the trial and that she believes the City agreed to make the trail in
this location years prior. She also stated that she believes the City is steam rolling the Ibberson
neighborhood. She spoke on behalf of the neighborhood in explaining that they believe this trail
would increase crime and that Thornton A. Sullivan park is not taken care of by the City but rather
maintained by the Ibberson residents including Melissa and her husband. Melissa reiterated her
understanding that the neighborhood owns the area where the proposed trail would be routed. It
was discussed that the homeowners in this area purchased their homes with the understanding that
the land in question is owned by the homeowners. Melissa requested that the City provide
documentation stating that the homeowners do not own this land.
Robert Carrasco, Ibberson resident, discussed that he believes the City is claiming ownership
of a park area which they have not maintained. He believes that the Ibberson neighborhood
residents are the ones who manage the park. He stated that he can find documentation of this
ownership within his mortgage files. He states that this mortgage document is evidence that he has a
financial interest in the lots in question and the City cannot take it. Robert asked if the residents will
get compensated for this loss to their property. He stated that he does want a loop around the lake.
He also noted that he believes his taxes should be less since he would not be owning as much
property in his opinion. It was discussed that many people in the Ibberson neighborhood purchased
their homes because of the land access specifically.
Daniel C., an Ibberson neighborhood resident commented in the chat of this meeting
describing the current issues with drug paraphernalia and trash around Silver Lake Park.
Jean Saii–Hewat lives near the Doyle Park property. She shared that she and her neighbors
are encouraged to hear about the upgrades to Doyle Park. They would like to partner with the City
and work with the Parks Board to upgrade this space. She would be happy to speak with her
neighbors about this project. She shared her contact information as meanjeancreative@earthlink.net.
Tree Committee Staff Report: Paul Crane
Paul shared that there are no requests for trees at this time. He also shared staffing
challenging that Public Works is experiencing. Tom Norcott shared that he has a live, six-foot-tall
Douglas fir tree which he purchased from stream keepers that he would like to see planted
somewhere within the City of Everett Parks. Bob will get back to Tom regarding this request.
It was discussed that a long-term report on the plan of care for the Colby trees is necessary.
Currently, only a very basic plan exists, and this does not include information regarding the type of
trees nor information regarding how the City plans to address each block. Concern was noted that
the respective neighborhood has not been brought into this conversation. Kimberly stated that
taking down hazardous trees does not preclude the City from creating a good plan for the future.
Katrina would like this discussion to be added onto the Board of Park Commissioners and Tree
Committee agenda next month. Council Liaison Stonecipher stated that these types of projects
should not happen without proper notice to the neighborhood and that it is disappointing that this
happened without neighborhood communication. There is concern that taking these trees down in
this manner was taking advantage of the communication difficulties caused by COVID19. These
trees were never tagged prior to their removal which would have notified the residents of the area.
Even though the trees were unhealthy, the neighborhood needs to be involved in the process before
work is done or removal takes place. Bob will make sure this topic will be on the agenda for next
month. It was determined that unless a tree(s) possesses imminent danger, notification of the
neighbors is necessary before removal.
Board Chair and Vice Chair:
In December the Board proposed to appoint Pamela Gerla as the Chair and Tom Norcott as
the Vice Chair of the Board of Park Commissioners and Tree Committee.
Motion/Second/Approved (m/s/a) unanimously to appoint Pamela Gerla and Tom Norcott as
the Board of Park Commissioners and Tree Committee Chair and Vice Chair.
Golf Rate Presentation – Cory Rettenmier
This meeting is the final forum in the process of implementing the 2021 golf fee increase. At
a previous meeting regarding the 2021 golf fee increase there were no significant comments on the
fees themselves. In fact, golfers felt that the fees could be raised more. The City is ready to move
forward with the fee increase effective March 1st, 2021. Motion/Second/Approved (m/s/a)
unanimously to increase golf fees effective March 1st, 2021.
Doyle Park
Currently, the City of Everett and the Everett School District are in an agreement to dually
operate Doyle Park. This is a loose agreement that either party can break without much prior notice.
One of the problems with this agreement is that the City cannot necessarily use REET dollars at this
park. The City is exploring the possibility of a long-term lease on this property in the amount of 75-
99 years. During a long-term lease, such as aforementioned, the City could use REET dollars for
long-term capital projects at this location. This type of long-term lease would be treated similarly to
a purchase of the property. This means that necessary improvements need to take place before the
City enters into a lease for the property. Photos were shared with the Board to display the sidewalk
issues along the front of the park. The large trees in the area between the sidewalk and the road are
causing lifting and breaking of the sidewalk. The City would need to remove these trees which are
too large for the location they are in. They would then need to redo the sidewalk. The City’s arborist
is agreeable that these are not the right trees for this location any longer. There are four total trees
that would need to be removed. Linda suggested that lower shrubs in this area would be
complimentary. It was also discussed that replanting of trees in a different location to make up for
the loss of four trees is desirable. As encouraged by the Board, the City will speak to the
neighborhoods about this before the project begins. Tom commented that he is in favor of what
needs to be done to make this area better.
PROS Plan
Kimberly met with BERK consulting to create the agenda for the upcoming Board of Park
Commissioners and Tree Committee Retreat scheduled for Saturday, January 23rd. At the retreat
BERK will discuss the timeline and scope of the PROS Plan and facilitate visioning and guiding
principal exercises. BERK would like to get a better understanding of the Board members’ favorite
places in Everett, as well as what they want to see out of the future of the Everett park system.
BERK will also ask Board members what one word they would use to describe Everett parks.
They will discuss a shared engagement plan with the intent of reaching more people in the
community and the new ways that cities are measuring levels of service through online public
engagement.
Project Updates: Chris Lark
Chris presented several updates on City construction and planning projects. The Board
members reviewed the list of project updates provided in the packet. Chris discussed that a third-
party land survey of the proposed loop trail area at Silver Lake has been done to determine the
proper ownership of this area. Chris explained to the Board that project managers on this project are
working on communication regarding this trail. Dean Shaughnessy, Silver Lake Trail Project
Manager, has been working with the community neighborhoods, as well as the Public Works
Department regarding roadway issues. There is a separate communication team for this type of
communication. A webpage is being created to provide answers to these specific questions and
concerns.
New Business:
No new business to report.

Other Notes:
This report only covers public right of way and city property. The City does not track tree work on private property
Parks and Public Works will use the same document, but track separately
At the end of 2021, we can combine Parks and Public Works data and present Park Board with collective totals
Goal of this report is to track significant tree removal and new plantings with the goal of growing the total tree count over time
Removals and plantings get reported in the calendar month they are either removed or planted
Tress will not be tracked by neighborhood or district at this time, but a location is provided if we need to move to this format in the future
Removed the rolling 12 month totals, as we felt enough data was captured in the monthly and YTD numbers
