President Schwab is here. At this time, I appeal to Council Angam Serlingo to make a statement. I will be a man who will stand with the United States of America's sovereignty and with the republic that presides over it, and with a nation that will not be deprived of freedom and justice under God. I would like to express my gratitude to President Rayyan for his light on the Earth. Thank you. The CET Council has been accepting the Shahops and their descendants, the Talup tribes, who have been living here for a long time. Since then, they have been hunting, catching fish, selling fish and managing this land and water resources. We respect their authority and their right to decide, and we support their relationship with this land and water. As a society that is more just and equal, we open up our frontiers to accept their voices and stories. Thank you very much. Okay. Good day, Mayor. Let's start. Let me turn on my mic. First of all, I would like to thank everyone who has given their feedback on our instructions regarding the Gathagatha Incarnation. For more information and to share your opinions, please contact above.gov.transitconsolidation. The form will be available until September 2. All remaining opinions and comments will be submitted to our CET Council and Community Transit Board. We would like to share some other things with you. The modernization of Edgewater Park has begun. In this park, there will be a new sports court, walking path, playground, pool, and parking facilities. This will be carried out with the grand help of the state to complete it by the next spring. In order to ensure the safety of the community, we are paying attention to a recent incident that was reported by the Ministry of Education. Earlier this month, an elderly man in Walter Hall Park tried to attract small girls to his car, and our police department complained. Fortunately, an attentive citizen paid attention to this and thought that the girls were unwell and called 911. Before the employee arrived, the person had left the park. However, thanks to our camera in the park, the violent crime unit was able to make arrangements for the events. In addition, they were able to get back to work at a faster pace through automatic license plate readers. I would like to express my special thanks to the person who called in 911. Their attention helped to save these girls and to avoid a major accident. Then, I would like to inform you that there are a lot of activities going on in our library every week. I would like to mention one of them specifically. It will be held in the Evergreen Branch Library from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow afternoon. There will be a Job Corps Counselor there. It is a great opportunity for 16 to 24-year-old youth to pursue a good career path. So, I urge everyone to participate in this. That's all I have to say today. Thank you. Thank you very much. Okay, let's move on to the past. Does anyone intend to accept Minutes on August 19, 2026? I intend to accept. I agree. The Prime Minister has agreed. Clerk, please conduct the vote. Council Angam Bader. Yes.

4:17Speaker 3

Vice President Rayyan. Council Angam Thuy. Yes. Council Angam Sarlingo.

4:22Speaker 3

President Schwab.

4:23 – 5:12Speaker 2

Yes, now is the time for public opinion. We will also include opinions through regas. According to our laws, opinions through regas will be considered as opinions with words. The people who submit their opinions must give their name and the city where they live to include them in our council regas. Namaskaram. Aanji. Thirike Swagatham. Namaskaram. President Schwab. Namaskaram. President Schwab. My name is Jane Zimmerman. I live in 1709 Virginia Avenue, three blocks from Broadway in the Delta neighborhood. I came to talk to you for the first time on Thursday, July 5th.

5:31 – 8:28Speaker 3

When I heard the pain in my voice, I was forced to think and accept the events that were happening to me as a resident of Ever nagar. I came next week with a big problem due to the change in the residents of the transitional housing unit in 1710 Baker. At that time, many police officers tried to help me. In the meantime, I tried to approach the council for the past two weeks. But due to the unnecessary change of the residents in that transitional housing unit, it is again going to pass through the Department of Correction to become a transitional housing unit. They have not given any response about their activities in the city for the past 49 days. This prevents them from being responsible and prevents me from asking them about what is happening there. All the efforts I have made to show responsibility to the North Everett Police Department to those residents have failed. Now, they have stopped returning to my plans for more patrolling and are asking me to join social services. I don't need social services. I have all the resources I need for my mental health problems. I want It is said that police stations have been running for a very short period of time. There was a question that was often asked. Is it right to park on the roads? No. Not for roaders, for parking and for deliveries. In 2009, they stopped me from entering the parking lot, which was meant to be used as my accessory developing unit. Now they have started to stop my entry into my garage through deliveries. I have pictures on my hand. Now I have the permission to enter my garage through my garage only in the office hours of 1710, when I arrived at a police station. I used my inventions in 2009. I decided to use as much as I could of my inventions. Because it should be beautiful to see it on the street in Everland. Madam, can the people behind you come? Thank you. Charles, can you please come to the podium? Charles, yes.

8:40Speaker 4

Charles McMurray, I have been a resident of Everett for almost three and a half years. I am still studying in Washington State Civics. First of all, we often have the strongest opinions about the least known things.

8:48 – 11:25Speaker 1

This can be seen as an example in today's context. When I talk to you, I try to avoid that misconception and say it in short. I am very interested in the economic health and services of the city. All citizens have accepted the EMS-LEVIC-1 grant. Therefore, it is a good idea for legislators to pay for the necessary services. Voters need to know which services are provided through which legislation. You will receive some legal announcements when you find funds for local Washington municipalities for the necessary services. My ultimate opinion is that the need to re-search for the permission of voters to pass 100% of the income limit and benefits is a great achievement. You representatives, we have now celebrated the 250th anniversary of American freedom. It was a great achievement in the hope that it would not end without prejudice. In my opinion, our constitutional laws do not allow local representatives to fulfill this moral responsibility freely. When everyone grows and the population increases, it is essential to increase funding for the planning and permitting department. Code enforcement is another major municipal service. One of the main principles of a good living situation is the idea of broken windows. That's just one of the principles. Code enforcement is essential to implement this idea of broken windows. According to urban development and population improvement, we need to improve the lives of people in the Code Enforcement Department. This will affect municipal courts and the Prosecutor's Office. Parks are considered a normal facility. Parks will become a necessary facility in the population improvement that we are developing. It is essential to establish a living condition. Improving funding for parks is now a major need. So, here are some of the key recommendations. I urge the Council to make a detailed announcement. In my opinion, this will improve the participation of voters and improve the possibility of implementation. The most important thing you need is time. There is a little time left. I will return it to you. Thank you. With this, we will end our general comments.

11:31 – 13:32Speaker 2

Okay, thank you very much. Okay, then let's move on to the council's comments. Let's start from Council Angambedar. Thank you, Council President. A report on the Transportation Advisory Committee that I participated in last week. Some things from the Engineering Traffic Engineering Report. The use of Lime Scooters has increased in July. That's a very good sign. So be careful that it is being used well. It is always being used in the right way. So thank you to everyone who uses it correctly. It is believed that there will be a slowdown in parking in the city. During this pandemic, they rebuilt 28 crosswalks and renovated the rest. There will be an open house in September on the Maryland Creek Bridge. Wait for that. I know that the Council President will pay attention to it. Aha! What is the beginning of it? They haven't said so far. However, we will hear about the transit development plan after this afternoon's weekly report on 2025. We heard about the vision being increased at intersections as part of Vision Zero. That is, it is possible to see a greater distance at junctions. So, those who drive vehicles can clearly see pedestrians and other vehicles. This is part of the security system. As our traffic engineering department is trying to make intersections more clear, everyone is ready for it. That's all I have to say from Dakil. Thank you. Yes, thank you. I have a question. Maybe Jennifer will answer it. Is there a website for that bridge like the Edgewater one?

13:35 – 15:32Speaker 4

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I took part in the Snow 2011 board meeting that took place last Sunday. The 2011 call center is a major hub for public safety in Snohomish County. I would like to say one thing to be aware of when we are working on the budget budget. As you know, Everett is the biggest city, so their prices are very high. The police force earns approximately 2.5 billion and the army earns more than 1.4 billion a year. But the interesting thing is that in the period from 1924 to 1925, the need for service was reduced by 2%. 2.8% in the Army and 7.66% in the Police. There is a decrease in the need for service. Therefore, we praise both our departments. I know that many parties are responsible for this. We are working hard to make our society safe. The more police officers, cameras and other facilities we have provided, the better it is. So, congratulations to everyone. Thank you. That's all.

15:32 – 18:04Speaker 2

Thank you very much. Council member Serlingo, there is no report today. I have a small comment about some things. I am getting a lot of questions about the flow of cameras in the city. I would like to make it clear that the Flock cameras in the city were very successful. Thanks to the Mayor for saying that, I think we will continue to discuss such things. We often don't hear good things about these cameras. Also, I have to say to the society that is watching this. There are a lot of Flock cameras here that are not in the control of the city council. We are optimistic about our well-being, but our constitution is the most secure. We have the highest status in terms of well-being. Even if we decide to turn off the cameras at any time, it does not completely avoid the use or well-being of the cameras. There are hundreds of cameras here that have no control over the society. That's why the problem is not going to end only because the cameras are off. I know there are many big names. This is a big country. There are more than 300 million people. Anyone can misuse this. However, it doesn't happen to anyone here. Misuse is very common. And in this context, I am promoting cameras to everyone in the city. I am thinking about those issues. Also, I would like to thank you for the activities of the park. I know that we have talked about the Edgewater Park Bridge. I know that it is a long process and that it took only three months to build it. Many people in the community have given their opinions on this, and I know that the website has accepted the opinions of the public. Therefore, I am very excited about the completion of that project. Therefore, I would like to thank the Park Department, the Department of Public Works, the Mayor's staff and everyone who helped in it. Therefore, thank you. And let's move on to the administrative report. And I note that there is a page on the city's website about the reconstruction of the Maryland Ring Bridge. If you are a Mayor, you can find out about it. You will get regular details, interactive information, location, budget, timetable and more. So... Thank you.

18:04Speaker 3

That's all. That's all.

18:06 – 18:40Speaker 2

Okay. Where is our CET Attorney? Um, no comments. But I need an executive session. We expect to have a 15-minute long discussion on law enforcement and law enforcement.

Council Bill 2608-45. The first item, PGSF Bond Street Combined Receiver Improvements Fund 336 Programme Poojam 3-3, is a special development plan for the use of the Ordinance 3913-22. The third and final item will be passed on September 9, 2026. Do you have any questions or opinions? We talked about the history of the docks there before. Is it related to this? Is this related to anything in that context? Rayyan is against it. I don't think so. Council members have a good afternoon. The Council President is not about this. However, we are working on what you suggested. We are moving forward with the BNSF-BNSF Railway contract. Okay, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Jennifer, you could have just said no. I needed it. Okay, thank you very much. Okay, at this time, we are starting a general discussion on the 2025 Ever Transit Development Plan. First, we will have an announcement. After that, if necessary, we will let the public know. So, Jennifer, do we have an announcement? Yes, it was opened, but when we restarted the computer, it forgot to open again. I'm opening it now. We have these two great people. So, in a minute, I'll show it on the screen. Shitty. Bob Leonard, CET Administration. Good afternoon to the Council members. Thank you for allowing us to present the Transit Development Plan. An announcement about the future of Ever Transit is presented by ETDP and TDP. Moreover, this clarifies the strategic view of employment and employment in the next six years, and assures that our tourism continues according to the needs of the entire city and the growth of the city. As you may know, there are discussions in the city and community transit about turning the transit system into a single county network. The possibility of ever-transiting to the local community transit system is evident, and this naturally leads to such discussions. Even if one line is possible, this development is very important. No matter how the system is implemented, the important systems are taken by TDP and TDP. Their belief in service, local connectivity, the readiness for light rail service in Bavi, and the long-term resistance to implement OneValarche are the principles. Even if Evert continues to operate independently, or if it moves to a single local shrinkage, these priorities will move forward. More general security will be required to serve the society through these two ways. The ITDP plan helps to share general information about the needs of the system and the opportunities ahead. On this occasion, I would like to invite Transit Director Michael Shamir to talk about the main activities and technical advancements to be carried out through the GADAKADHA development plan in 2026. Thanks to the Council for the opportunity to present the 2026-2031 Transit Development Plan and the 2025 Land Reform Report. As Bob has pointed out, I would like to emphasize that the Transit Development Plan is a land-based land reform report that is useful for legislators to understand general development and future plans. This is not a budget plan, but it is to discuss financial issues and to provide information about transit service facilities in Bavi. This slide explains how the TDP is being implemented in the big picture of our road map plans, starting from the road map of the city of Gadhagadam, which is described as Gadhagadam, Thozhil, Parpidam and Gadhagadam. The ever-transit long-range plan, which was approved in March this year, will help to shape the transit development plan for the next six years, especially with regard to the changes in agricultural consumption led by the general public. This will ensure that the transit will continue to grow and will continue to operate within that large range. The TDB is a six-year plan that includes a fixed route, Paratransit and other stations. The general hearing will end on July 27th. After the Council's approval, the plan will be submitted on September 1st. As part of the Fixed Route Act, 32% of the farmland has been cultivated in the last 3 years, and 1.7 billion passengers have reached our Fixed Route service. With the addition of 10 million passengers to the Fixed Route, our farmland has grown a little in 2025. The cost of that service is 19.2 billion rupees. Paratransit gave 86,000 daily trips. This is a small improvement over the previous year. After the pandemic, it took a little time for passengers to return to Paratransit even though the number of passengers has decreased, the main stations have been closed, or even if it is late to open. The cost of receiving that service is 4.9 billion. As part of the service development, we are involved in major changes in our service in 2025. In addition to the procedures for the service, we are also involved in the implementation of Route 8 of the South Everett Freeway Station, which connects the Sound Transit Route 512 to the Light Railway. For various social activities such as July 4th and Music at the Marina, we have provided services to the government. On Route 12, the first six months of the summer vacation were allowed, and then it continued until 2026. In addition, in the event that the Fred Meyer store in South Everett was closed, the summer shuttle service from Ever Mall to Wal-Mart was also added. We also joined the summer vacation to the cooling and warming shelters as needed. Our long-term service change plan was focused on the second phase of the long-term plan. Casino Road, Cocoon House's Wings Program, Imagine Children's Museum, Everett Gospel Mission, etc. have been able to build palatial shelters near the transit area near the mission for the past five years. We held Christmas stuff bus programs with volunteers from AETU 883, AETU 883, and volunteers of America. We organized Everett Commuter Trip Reduction Bike Day. We launched social media campaigns to reach more travelers. At the same time, to know the current bus times, our Everett Transit R-VALS ETA platform was connected to 66,000 passengers. As part of the fleet of three systems, we imported 14 new Gillig battery electric buses with the help of the Grand. In addition, we bought seven redesigned diesel buses. These buses, which lasted for five years, were purchased to restore the service of the first generation of battery electric vehicles. Now, half of our fleet of 49 buses are zero-emission battery electric buses. The remaining are diesel hybrid buses. They operate on 99% renewable diesel. In the case of facilities, the new mall station was built to ensure the re-development of the mall as well as the social access, safety and operation of the mall. Inductive charging facilities were added to the 904 bus stops and inductive charging facilities were added to the college station and Seaway Transit Center to improve the distance between battery electric buses. When Ewer station was actually designed, it was not only a major transport center, but also a satellite extension for greater diversity. Currently, two, three, and four-storey rental facilities are more suitable for larger class rooms than class offices and offices. That is why it is becoming a little bigger to rent. Last year, we started helping to find and encourage tenants in the area, and we are happy to have seen the good results of this. This is a very expensive system, and it is the idea that the local centre has to pay a lot of money. HVAC, HVAC, system change, and the Great Hall Entrance Award have been fully implemented in the ongoing renovations. How do you feel about this reduction in costs over the past few years? I am Brandon Hillby. I am the Fair and Financial Manager. I believe that this reduction is growing steadily. As you know, since 2020, Vani's investments have been very difficult. That's why it has to be addressed. There are also security issues. That's why this gap is growing. Next, let's move on to the budget. Even if this is not a budget, there are definitely financial details in it. The last year's operating revenue was 38.4 billion and the cost was 40.1 billion. In relation to the construction of the new Ever Mall Station and the purchase of seven new buses, we have had some high local costs. In relation to the construction of the new Ever Mall Station, the construction of the new Ever Mall Station and the purchase of seven new buses, we have had some high local costs. In relation to the construction of the new Ever Mall Station, the construction of the new Ever Mall Station and the purchase of seven new buses, we have had some high local costs. Our operating interest rate is 7.5 million, which is equivalent to 7 million dollars in operating expenses and interest rates. The amount of interest for three days is 11.5 million. This is for the one-time payment for the operation in progress. According to this, by 2026, we will get a start of 33.5 million dollars in all funds and interest rates. Moab or Maintenance Operations Administration building feasibility will be implemented in the future. If the design and engineering for this are great, we will continue that way. 12 cabinet chargers in our operation center will be replaced by the fleet. In this period, 25 Paratransit vans and 5 support vehicles will be added to the 21 buses that used to go. Whether new shelters will be installed in the Central Business District of South Everett and North Everett in the street facilities, or the replacement of the backup generator in the operation centre will be completed by the HVAC system of Ever Station. This year, we have also renewed the public restrooms in Ever Station No. 1. The plan is to stop the demand by making changes according to the demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply and demand in terms of supply When we complete this phase of the Transit Development Plan, we realize that Everett is in a state of emergency. Long-term discussions on whether to continue as an independent municipality or as a community transit institution reflect the two ways that are more powerful and resilient. But there is one thing in common in these two ways. The journey of Everett requires three things, whether it is freedom or unity. The vision to see what happens. That vision needs to be realized. Not only for us to live, but also for the establishment of a world-wide universal constitution that allows us to grow. Thank you for the opportunity to present. Now we are accepting questions and opinions. Questions from the Council Council Reader Thank you, Council President Thank you, Mike Thank you very much. Since TAC and TAC were able to hear this, I had the opportunity to ask again. Looking at the 25th page of the multi-year financial plan, I have a few questions. I think this question will be asked in the talk as well, but when we look at the costs in the middle of the page, we don't see any payments for Swift, Swift, CD, and CT after last year. Then, if we don't pay, don't we have to pay more for CD? Okay, that's a good question. Thank you. Swift Line's initial inter-local route was extended to 15 years. We reached it by 2022. Rethink 1, Rethink 2, and More Transit Together routes were extended to two more years. As that route continued to operate, it was extended to another year by 2025. That operation has been going on since the beginning of the 26th. We are now in the discussion that we are conducting. So, there were a lot of questions about how it is connected to the entire SWIFT network. So now, yes, there is a zero line there, but okay. But if we don't do it, it will be difficult to calculate anything. Yes, okay. Then, when it comes down, the transfer to the operations and the capital reserve is decreasing significantly after the next year. Do you have any comments on this? Especially when we want to build a maintenance and operation base. Yes, the number of reserves is decreasing as we move forward in the six-year plan. This is one of the reasons why the cost of employment is increasing and the income is stable. The income is not increasing. So, thank you very much, Council. I have two or three more questions to ask. Let's see if the page in the document is memorable. It tells us about the expenses that can be made in Bavi. One of them is Moab. Moab is a nice abbreviation, even if we are not in Utah. We estimate that it will cost about $175 billion to do so. I don't know if anyone knows the answer to this, but if we do this, we will have to sell bonds. Moab is a good question. There is an assumption that grant funding will be required for this. Then, in our long-term plan, page 27, It is believed that more than 3 by 10 sales tax revenues have been invested in it. If we look below that long-range plan, we can see that capital reserves are increasing from 2031 to 2045. This also plays a big role in increasing the reserves for that facility. Let me add one more thing. When the site feasibility study was conducted, 175 billion was added to the three sites we estimated. But the study was reduced to the last epic site. So the total cost was reduced to 105 billion. I understood. Good. Good. Right. Good. That's a good news. Finally, there is one more question related to this. If we want to make this happen, we will have to think that voters will agree to raise 3 by 10 sales tax. And if they do that, I don't know if you have an answer for this now. But how much of it will be used in the Moab expense? Or how much of that 310 will be spent on Moab? Instead, how much can it be spent on more service, more service time, more shuttles? Then again, if you do not have an answer now, I would like to know. At this time, it is an attempt to calculate it, but the grand truth that we get is that it will be greatly influenced by this. I understood. Okay, because if the voters count 310 votes, I think it will be the most important one. I think it is clearly not a delusion like overtime, isn't it? Therefore, I think it would be an important information that we should know about whether voters will move forward or not. Okay, thank you.

39:24 – 40:01Speaker 3

Council member Beder, I asked our finance director to investigate the figures on debt in various areas. Therefore, if it is about 100 billion, the debt will be about 6 to 7 billion per year for 30 years. Each of the grants we receive will help us to cover a part of it. If you receive a $20,000 grant like last year, you can earn about $1,000,000 from the loan. That is, from 6 to 7, it can be reduced to 5 to 6,000,000. Yes, that's right. I have a question about some of the things you mentioned, counsel Angam Bedar. The increase from $6,000 to $100,000

40:14 – 40:27Speaker 2

My assumption is that there is only one way to stop the price of food in Moab. Is that a correct statement? Did we talk about this last year when it was first announced here? There is not only one way to stop the price of food in Moab. The aim is to increase the price of food by 25% in about 20 years.

40:27 – 40:48Speaker 3

Also, to fund. Yes. In addition to this, Karudal is a city that has a high demand for grants, as it always does in the city.

40:49 – 41:03Speaker 2

So, this was to increase employment, but it was in favor of the needs of the community. There will also be a message that a light rail is coming to Everett. That is, the development you have accepted in the comprehensive plan is that view of the city.

41:07Speaker 3

The long-term plan is in line with that plan. Okay. Thank you. Counselor R. Thank you.

41:10 – 42:41Speaker 2

I have a small amount of money. Please forgive me if I make a mistake. I have been checking the numbers. It seems that $49,031,687 will be spent for the Paratransit service. The previous 86,249 trips, that is, one trip will cost about $57.18. As well as, if you increase the number of regular bus services, one person will get about $11 for a trip. The ticket fee is only a very small part of it. Although this is not a topic for discussion, I would like to point out how much the service to residents of Everett through Everett Transit is. I wanted to say that, but if you have any comments on this, I welcome them. Okay, we have a lot of energy. Everett Transit is, in my opinion, a great team. We have a great team that makes it impossible to ensure maximum service for each dollar. Okay, thank you very much. Let's end this presentation here. Thank you. You did a good job. Thank you. Okay, now I'm going to ask Angie. Has anyone registered for the general hearing?
