The nut graf: City staff and an airport committee are coordinating the master plan, which will designate business-development areas and upgrades. Work to improve Internet connectivity with underground fiber aims to serve businesses on airport property. The mayor also announced a new community event for pilots and residents planned for July, with shuttle service tied to the street fair.

\"The previous comp plan was adopted in 1995 and did not address the inevitable changes that are occurring now and in the upcoming 20 years,\" the mayor said, describing the update as a multi-year effort to guide neighborhood connectivity, economic stability and diverse residential growth.

The nut graf: The mayor pointed to plan elements and sub-area visions, and said comp-plan amendments underway include parks and recreation capital planning and transportation and water/sewer master plans. He highlighted that mapped future development shows a large share of townhomes and single‑family homes, while also noting apartment construction where needed.

The mayor said the airport master plan and other project-specific plans will be coordinated with the comp-plan work. He encouraged the public to review comp-plan materials and amendments on the city website.

Ending: The mayor framed the comp-plan update as foundational planning for the next 20 years and asked for continued community engagement as amendments proceed.","The mayor described a multi-year comprehensive-plan update to meet the Washington State Growth Management Act requirements, prioritized townhomes and single-family homes in recent development maps, and said comp-plan amendments are underway for parks, transportation and water/sewer master plans.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6269217,"Mayor highlights outreach paired with police; city reports dozens housed and dozens transported to services",89,529505,619130,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3045073-76f2fb21b7d7897230b6cd66a2c76507&start=529&end=619","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3045073-76f2fb21b7d7897230b6cd66a2c76507/thumbnail_529505.jpg","/articles/6269217/Arlington-City/Snohomish-County/Washington/Mayor-highlights-outreach-paired-with-police-city-reports-dozens-housed-and-dozens-transported-to-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269217-101505bb38c70385ae917660aef905d0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163000&Signature=jBbbdaOqaJl4wLOgMIWQPl9olSP0kXIIqmA7Pae~V8S7UF5H3ZaVjQgda5LUPa9zLPnBqFFUApWxN659v966gAVxboqPzVbkClViTQ4TBFDzshYntZoXpyFFr4P-R4L6NsaUuKaK2eEyI7ZBAnZK-kHJAtjOzSddSjg2zoovLOnj0R6rNWII8TzsPsQhuBU90njGJg7aVNB6cc9xuej5H1ZtyNK63L6KbsbhTXYje2-jYIZ02nsx85Ll4X5KhJjf3D5k2CiJ8ZMfVuoWOVmVDzt~zz-cxP-RIbp08mU-neOMVZL4eGlFQLRT17m3K3esbWzwDAJFjDig34Mq06subA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","In his State of the City remarks, Mayor (name not specified) described Arlington’s outreach approach to homelessness and addiction: a community outreach team pairing a police officer with a full‑time social worker to offer treatment and services alongside enforcement.

\"This team builds relationships with people on the streets and offer[s] them a way to treatment and services,\" the mayor said, noting that recovery often requires repeated attempts.

The nut graf: Officials presented program statistics for 2024 that show outreach activity and limited housing outcomes. The mayor said there were 400 camp/park and business checks, 362 contacts, 144 enforcements, 10 transports to services and 37 people housed; about one-third of contacts resulted in a transport to the Arlington Community Resource Center.

The mayor urged donations to the Arlington Community Resource Center, which he said is run by Volunteers of America and serves as a one-stop hub for people in need. He said the resource center served over 4,053 people in 2024.

Ending: The mayor emphasized the city aims to combine enforcement and services and asked community support for volunteer and donation efforts to assist the resource center.","The mayor described a police-community outreach team that pairs an officer with a full-time social worker; he said outreach led to 362 contacts, 10 transports to services and 37 people housed in 2024, and encouraged donations to the Arlington Community Resource Center.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6269223,"Arlington police reach staffing milestone and expand camera and analytics tools, mayor says",70,401485,471500,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3045073-76f2fb21b7d7897230b6cd66a2c76507&start=401&end=471","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3045073-76f2fb21b7d7897230b6cd66a2c76507/thumbnail_401485.jpg","/articles/6269223/Arlington-City/Snohomish-County/Washington/Arlington-police-reach-staffing-milestone-and-expand-camera-and-analytics-tools-mayor-says","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269223-7cade7d0b29e9fa5a08d85f7457c2f3e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163000&Signature=HRzB7a5wkFYX4iY4-YCmoBabF7dq5-elARnF5l3szr4Yg8hc2yNNpcm8JLSKxuG7HZj2izLezaHVFGit4EtEse7asRGRi4ZjAMYCPZ05CjfZRD7r5Q-V~DJkyWv-ymU7U8BpzRKTcT5t9qNdT0TwDq9H4Gm3G7VEO6dTbLcpKbih7hUxafi7zrZu30rHwl3KBVrV7zDs5lqwloIiW71FeZcuSEKbuhMKQa2VirnOLa1BM5hZUQyxQk3wRq8t6k1nkfBBFrexbnrjxBU3AUtuWo~AryCDqYA8CgmRCxqdGBu6DlF1DXHkj8mORzflFc~MFidorDuOxPQXkGU8vl7ucg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor (name not specified) told the State of the City audience that Arlington Police reached full staffing for the first time in years and achieved state accreditation, steps city leaders framed as investments in public safety.

\"For the first time in a long time, we were fully staffed with police officers,\" the mayor said, and added the department has \"achieved state accreditation status. This is a major professional achievement.\"

The nut graf: The mayor described recent technology investments—video analytics, artificial intelligence and license-plate-recognition cameras—that officials say are improving efficiency and helping solve crimes. The speech credited the cameras with doubling stolen-vehicle recoveries and cited one multi-jurisdiction arrest that began in Arlington and ended in Bothell.

The mayor gave program figures: the department reported about 27,000 calls for service in 2024 and said the camera deployment was associated with recovering 102 stolen vehicles since launch. He also cited volunteer-led public-safety support programs: a police volunteers coordinator, a police support officer and two new volunteer programs for cleanup and nuisance reduction. The community outreach team pairs a police officer with a full-time social worker to address homelessness and addiction in the city.

The mayor said the outreach effort produced 400 camp/park and business checks, 362 contacts, 144 enforcements related to trespass/parking/camping and other arrests, 10 transports to services and 37 people housed; he said about one-third of contacts were transported to Arlington Community Resource Center services.

\"Recently, we have seen a period of inflation and a slowdown in the local economy, including our sales tax revenues,\" the mayor said, noting sales tax is a significant revenue source for city services.

The nut graf: Sales and property taxes together supply the bulk of the general fund and a downturn in sales tax reduces the city’s capacity to provide services. City leaders said they made spending cuts to protect minimum reserves while keeping public safety and maintenance funding from falling.

City figures cited in the speech: about 75% of general-fund revenue comes from property and sales taxes; the mayor also stated sales tax is \"about 34% of our general fund\" and later said \"52% is from the sales tax,\" an inconsistency in the remarks. The transcript also records the city’s property-tax rate as 0.77% and that Arlington receives about 8% of the property tax collected by Snohomish County.

Mayor (name not specified) described active grant-seeking to reduce reliance on local tax revenue. He listed 2024 grant awards that helped the city, including a cybersecurity grant, a comprehensive-plan update grant, a criminal justice training academy grant, a Department of Ecology stormwater grant and FEMA funding for the Prairie Creek Culvert. Large transportation projects were noted as typically funded by federal and state grants.

The mayor said the city received the state auditor’s stewardship award in 2024 for accountability and transparency, and credited that recognition with helping stewardship messages during grant requests.

Looking ahead, the mayor said city staff will continue to pursue federal and state funding for major projects such as SR 531 widening and other transportation priorities that have relied on external grants since 2018.","Mayor (name not specified) told the Stille Valley Chamber that Arlington’s budget relies heavily on taxes and that recent revenue slowdowns forced cuts while maintaining minimum reserves and increasing public safety spending.","actionData","errors"]
