Evergreen is a CDP (Census Designated Place). It has no local democratic government and no public identity. According to the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce the population is 25,766 souls (U.S. 2010 Census: 9,038) with a per capita income of $59,740, more than is enjoyed by some Home Rule Cities in the state. And Evergreen is still growing.
Evergreen taxpayers have repeatedly opened their wallets to pay the interest on bond issues so that buildings for community use could be constructed and improved (schools, recreation centers, libraries, fire houses). So the public has an interest in their proper protection and insurance coverage should replacement become necessary. Consequently taxpayers cannot escape a responsibility for public safety.

Some pages on this website are static. They record events that have happened and document actions that have been taken. They provide an invaluable history so that we don’t have to repeat ourselves. So they remain but do not have to be revisited very often.
Other pages however, are dynamic. They contain ideas and options being acted upon and reports of progress being achieved. These pages will frequently contain NEW material of interest. We are now working on the design of attention grabbing indicators that will direct visitors to NEW materials. So, look for these indicators on your return.
