Everett City Council approved two resolutions on Aug. 26 totaling $8,962,859.67 in claims against the city: $2.7 million for general claims and $6.2 million for payroll. The council also approved an amendment to the YMCA swimming pool easement. The council moved forward with four proposed projects: a pedestrian safety project on Evergreen Way at Center Road, a continuation of the Everett Outdoor Event Center project, a plan to acquire land for the event center using eminent domain, and sewer improvements on PGSF Bond Street. The outdoor event center project will have its final reading on Sept. 2, while the pedestrian safety project will also be finalized on that date. The sewer project will replace an older ordinance.
