Everett spent $79,000 in staffing, equipment for Trump
EVERETT — The crowds have dispersed. Trump Force One flew off at 9:08 p.m.
All that was left to do around Xfinity Arena on Wednesday was to clean up and tally the costs of a visit from a presidential candidate.
An estimated 9,184 people attended the event inside the arena. The city of Everett, meanwhile, said it spent approximately $79,000 in staffing and equipment costs for police, firefighters and public works crews.
Other city departments also were involved, said Meghan Pembroke, a spokeswoman for the mayor’s office. The city does expect the arena to reimburse about half of the police overtime bill, she said.
Everett officers earned about $43,000 in regular pay and $7,473 in overtime, she said. The average officer is paid about $64 an hour for overtime.
About 25 fire department personnel were assigned to the event in some fashion.
