ITEM E: INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR SNOCOM INTERNET ACCESS.
Council President Bernheim requested the final version reflect correction of a typographical error.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PETERSON, TO APPROVE ITEM E. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
ITEM G: APPROVE CONTRACT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES - CITY OF EDMONDS
PROSECUTOR.
Councilmember Wilson relayed his disappointment that the Prosecutor chose not to bring charges against
anyone with regard to the tree removed on City property at 3rd & Walnut. Until the Prosecutor explains to
him why that was done, he would not support the professional services contract.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas agreed with Councilmember Wilson that something more should have
been done with regard to removal of the tree at 3rd & Walnut. She did not support approval of the
professional services contract.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PETERSON, TO APPROVE ITEM G.
Council President Bernheim commented on the need to keep the Prosecutor’s contract in place. He was
satisfied with pursuing a civil remedy with regard to the tree removed at 3rd & Walnut.
Student Representative Gibson inquired about the contract start date of November 10, 2010. Mayor
Cooper explained the Prosecutor has an ongoing contract with the City.
MOTION CARRIED (5-2), COUNCILMEMBERS WILSON AND FRALEY-MONILLAS VOTING
NO.
ITEM K: INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE SNOHOMISH CONSERVATION DISTRICT
Councilmember Wilson explained he pulled this item in order to vote no.
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT
BERNHEIM, TO APPROVE ITEM K.
Councilmember Peterson explained the Snohomish Conservation District has a great knowledge base
related to water quality and water conservation. This item was reviewed by the Community Services/
Development Services Committee last week. The Interlocal Agreement is a $5,000 contract that is not
spent unless the City requires their expertise. The Agreement will allow the City to access their expertise,
knowledge and background in stormwater remediation issues that the City does not have in-house.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked Councilmember Wilson why he planned to vote no.
Councilmember Wilson responded the contract was up to $7500 and would not be spent unless their
expertise was needed, funded by the Stormwater Utility. This would be the fifth such contact the Council
has signed in the past 2-3 years with an environmental entity; the city has a contract with Cascade Land
Conservancy, Sustainable Edmonds, University of Washington (planning for Five Corners), and Climate
Solutions. He was not opposed to the work that could be done but he had prioritized expenditures with the
other four organizations.
Councilmember Buckshnis expressed support for the Interlocal Agreement. She recalled the Snohomish
Conservation District spoke to the Port of Edmonds and she was impressed with their knowledge.

Mayor Cooper explained the Snohomish Conservation District is a government agency through
Snohomish County that is established by the State; they are not a non-profit environmental group.
MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER WILSON VOTING NO.
3. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION REGARDING AN
AMENDMENT TO THE EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIRING
THAT INTERIOR LOT LINES NOT OVERLAP PRD PERIMETER BUFFERS.
Planning Manager Rob Chave explained the proposed changes would revise the Planned Residential
Development (PRD) Code to clarify that lot lines within a PRD cannot overlap the perimeter buffer.
Mayor Cooper opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented the proposed ordinance appeared to provide safeguards that
Councilmember Petso was interested in. He asked Councilmember Petso and Council President Bernheim
whether any further corrections to the language in the ordinance were needed. He relayed the Planning
Board’s comments that PRDs soon were be removed from the ordinance.
Hearing no further comment, Mayor Cooper closed the public participation portion of the public hearing.
In response to Mr. Hertrich’s question whether the language was sufficient to clarify that the PFD buffer
should be separate from the backyard and side yard setbacks of lots on the exterior of a PRD,
Councilmember Petso requested staff return with an ordinance next week that clarifies the intent that the
perimeter buffers be separate and distinct from the rear lots and setback areas of lots in a PRD.
City Attorney Scott Snyder observed Councilmember Petso’s concern was with the first sentence of
subsection 20.35.050(C)(2) : “Provide a landscape buffer, open space or passive use recreational area of a
depth from the inner boundaries of exterior property line setbacks at least equal to the depth of the rear
yard setback applicable to the zone.” He suggested dividing the sentence into three simple, declarative
sentences.
Council President Bernheim commented this was an interim ordinance that had been extended. He was
hopeful the ordinance could be adopted soon implementing the will of the Council. Mr. Snyder
commented during the time the interim ordinance had been in place, this was the first time that sentence
had been questioned. Council President Bernheim commented the intent of the interim ordinance was to
remove ambiguity.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO BRING BACK AN ORDINANCE NEXT WEEK FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
4. PUBLIC HEARING ON RESIDENTIAL FIRE SPRINKLERS.
Councilmember Wilson explained the Public Safety Committee has discussed this matter at five meetings
in an effort to give every opportunity for interested parties to provide input. Discussion has become quite
theatrical at those meetings, a demonstration he hoped to avoid at the Council level. The recommendation
from the Public Safety Committee is for the Council to consider a requirement for fire sprinkler systems
in single family residences 5,000 square feet or greater, or single family residences 3,000 square feet or
greater. The Committee expressly stated fire sprinklers should not be required for all houses/units,
establishing a threshold of zero square feet.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas explained the Committee discussed adding a requirement for fire
sprinklers at the time of remodeling and determined that would not be appropriate at this time.
Packet Page 7 of 145
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 16, 2010
Page 5
Councilmember Wilson explained the Committee invited representatives from the firefighters union, fire
leadership, carpenters, Snohomish County Council, water districts, realtors, Master Builders, etc. One of
the former leaders of the Master Buildings, also an Edmonds resident, said in his view the 5,000 square
foot threshold would be reasonable because so few houses of that size were built. He highlighted changes
made to the proposed ordinance, 1) offset the cost of increased capacity, and 2) include in the Whereas
clause that it was the Council’s intent not to bring this back until 2013 or the next International Fire Code
update. He acknowledged this Council or a future Council could overturn that direction.
Fire District 1 Fire Marshal John Westfall reviewed the evolution of fire sprinklers:
Over 100 years of industrial and commercial building and occupant protection
Residential designs since 1973 optimize and economize sprinklers to better protect occupants and
reduce costs
Apartment sprinklers in 1988
Dwelling sprinklers in 2009
He explained the 2009 International Residential Code mandates residential fire sprinkler systems (RFSS).
Washington State directed each city and county to make a local decision. Since April RFSS stakeholders
including Fire District, Building Departments, local builders, water purveyors, sprinkler installers and
testers, realtors, insurance agents, Public Safety Committee, and the public have been meeting to reach
agreement in the interest of public safety.
Benefits of home sprinklers include:
• Save lives
• Reduce injuries
• Save millions in property loss
• Sustain resources for extinguishment and re-construction
• Reduce homeowner insurance rates
• Preserve affordable housing
• Take advantage of required systems
Nationally, single family dwellings present a higher risk both to occupants and responders. He provided
statistics regarding fire death and injuries in one and two-family dwellings (percentage of residential):
Fire deaths: 84%
Fire Injuries 75%
Fire property damage 85%
Firefighter deaths: 85%
Statistics show the most susceptible to casualty are children under the age of 10 and seniors over the age
of 70. Washington State Fire Marshal reports 23 fatalities in single-family homes for 2009. The City of
Edmonds has had 1 fatality in a single-family home since 2000. A smoke alarm alone is not enough.
Sprinklers can keep a dwelling tenable, providing time to escape and keep the fire in check until the fire
responders arrive. Installing both smoke alarms and a fire sprinkler system reduces the risk of death in a
home to fire by 82%, relative to having neither.
Home fire sprinklers reduce property loss:
• Can contain and may even extinguish a fire in less time than it would take the fire department to
arrive on the scene.
• Records show $3.8M loss in dwellings in the Edmonds-Esperance-Woodway area from 2005-first
quarter 2010
Home fire sprinklers reduce water damage:
Packet Page 8 of 145
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 16, 2010
Page 6
• Only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate, spraying water directly on the fire
• 90% of fires are contained by the operation of just 1 sprinkler
• 14 gallons per minute vs. 250 gallons per minute. In 10 minutes: 140 gallons vs. 2500 gallons
Fire Marshal Westfall relayed home fire sprinkler costs:
• Nationally accepted cost average is $1.61 per square foot in new construction in a report
developed by the National Fire Protection Association. The National Master Builders Association
agrees with this average.
• A local installer, Robinson Plumbing, estimates most installations in $1.25-$1.50 per square foot
• Variation of water connection charges can elevate system costs but these costs may be already
required for domestic use when a home is constructed
He explaining more water is required for RFSS so the meter is upsized from ¾ inch to 1 inch. Water
departments often increase the water connection charge (WCC)/general facilities charge (GFC) to
accommodate the larger meter even though the larger meter is only used if the RFSS is activated. Public
Works Director Phil Williams suggested the City not charge the upsized WCC when the upsize is due to
the requirement for RFSS (an additional $2000). He reviewed sprinkler costs for 5,000 square feet:
Edmonds Olympic View
RFSS ($1.25) $ 6250 $ 6250 Related to sprinklers
Permits (10%) 625 625 Related to sprinklers
WCC / GFC 908 3580 Already required
Line/meter (1”) 800 1160 Already required
Total $ 8593 $ 11615
He reviewed sprinkler costs for 3,000 square feet:
Edmonds Olympic View
RFSS ($1.50) $ 4500 $ 4500 Related to sprinklers
Permits (10%) 450 450 Related to sprinklers
WCC 908 3580 Already required
Line/meter (1”) 800 1160 Already required
Total $ 6658 $ 9690
Fire Marshal Westfall explained RFSS are aligned with Green Construction objectives to reduce energy
usage and greenhouse gases:
• Extend usable life and investment of homes
• Preserve belongings
• Reduce hazardous waste and toxic emissions from fire
• Reduce construction debris & waste after fire
• Reduce carbon emissions from fire department and construction equipment during reconstruction
He relayed examples of homeowner insurance savings, pointing out standard installation does not include
sprinklers in the garage or crawlspace:
• State Farm Kelly Meldrum @ 5 Corners anticipated a 5% savings for installation standard. 10%
for design protection beyond standard.
• McDonald McGarry Insurance on Main anticipated a 4-5% savings for installation standard. 7-
10% for design protection beyond standard
Ordinances will accommodate affordable housing. The 3,000 or 5,000 thresholds allow for construction
of unsprinklered homes that would be more affordable. The ordinance is written in a middle ground. The
gap from 0-2999 square feet is provided, not because lives in smaller homes have a lesser value but as a
Packet Page 9 of 145
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 16, 2010
Page 7
compromise among stakeholders to improve fire protection in the community. RFSS take advantage of
required systems; dwellings require water for sanitation. Having the dwelling plumbed to the ceiling
makes it available to protect the environment, property, family and lives.
He summarized:
RFSS required for new construction only
Fire Area: 3,000 square feet vs. 5,000 square feet
Water connection charge reduction
Staff will not return with new threshold proposal until the 2012 code cycle (July 2013)
Council President Bernheim asked the basis for establishing a threshold versus simply requiring or not
requiring RFSS in all new construction. Fire Marshal Westfall responded the threshold was a compromise
among stakeholders; fire personnel go to the extreme for public safety, builders go to the extreme for
development. Council President Bernheim asked if there was a relationship between the size of a building
and the safety afforded by a sprinkler system. Fire Marshal Westfall agreed the larger a building is, the
more challenging it is for fire responders to extinguish a fire – a larger building has more area, more
contents and more places for people to be found.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked the number of 5,000 square foot homes built in Edmonds in the
last 3-4 years, noting one 5,000 square foot home was being constructed now that includes sprinklers.
Building Official Leonard Yarberry advised from 2007 – September 2010, five 5,000 square foot homes
were constructed and thirty-two 3,000 square foot homes.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas inquired about other cities’ requirements with regard to RFSS. Fire
Marshal Westfall answered Kenmore recently adopted a zero threshold fire sprinkler requirement; they
previously had a 5,000 square foot threshold. In Zone 1 Departments, Shoreline has a 5,000 square foot
threshold, Kirkland has a 6,000 square foot threshold, and Redmond has a zero threshold. In Snohomish
County, Mountlake Terrace approved a 4,000 square foot threshold for new construction and Brier
approved a 5,000 square foot threshold for new construction and remodels.
Councilmember Petso observed facility fees are required to be equitable and cost based. She asked
whether reducing the WCC was legal. City Attorney Scott Snyder responded fees were intended to be a
cost for service and based on the cost for providing the service. The Council can waive fees but cannot
levy a fee that exceeds the cost to process an application. Councilmember Petso asked whether waiving
the fee was an illegal gift of public funds. Mr. Snyder used the example of the reduction/waiver of the
application fee for murals due to the general public benefit. Mr. Williams explained Bremerton also offers
the lower connection fee. He explained a 1-inch meter provides 3 times as much water as a ¾ inch meter
thus the GFC is 3 times larger. The fee is viewed as a demand charge; a person with a house large enough
to have enough bathrooms, irrigation, etc. to require a 1-inch meter, place more demand on the system
than smaller homes. In the case of RFSS, the larger meter is not related to ongoing demand but a life-
safety issue that rarely would be used.
Student Representative Gibson asked what activated a RFSS. Fire Marshal Westfall answered heat; 135-
165 degrees at the ceiling. Mr. Gibson asked who tested fire sprinklers. Fire Marshal Westfall responded
in a residential system it is suggested the homeowner perform an annual flow test. In a standalone system,
the device must be separated and tested. With newer flow-through systems, the water moves through
continuously.
Councilmember Peterson inquired about affordable housing. Fire Marshal Westfall responded a 3,000 or
5,000 square foot threshold would allow for affordable housing and address builders’ concerns. A 3,000
square foot threshold would allow homes up to 2,999 square feet to be constructed without a sprinkler
system. Councilmember Peterson referred to reports that the average size of new homes is shrinking for
Packet Page 10 of 145
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 16, 2010
Page 8
the first time due to economics. If the Council approved a reduction in the connection charge, he asked
whether a person constructing a 2,000 square foot home with sprinklers and the 1-inch meter could also
take advantage of the lower connection charge. Fire Marshal Westfall responded the proposed ordinance
amends the water connection charge section as well as the requirement for sprinklers in 3,000+ or 5,000+
square feet. The reduction in the water connection charge for an upsized meter would apply to any home
constructed with a fire sprinkler. Mr. Yarberry agreed the reduced water connection charge would apply
to any home installing a sprinkler system, explaining the ordinance does not reference square footage in
the section regarding upsizing the meter.
Mr. Williams explained the intent was for the waiver to apply only to the WCC/GFC; the customer would
still pay the additional cost for the larger meter. He noted a flow-through system would be very expensive
to add to an existing residential structure but is very affordable to install during construction.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented her career has been in social services which is related to
people. She referred to information in the presentation that two people died in Edmonds as a result of
house fires in the past ten years. She asked whether those deaths could have been prevented if the homes
were sprinklered. Fire Marshal Westfall answered in the case of the death in January 2010 where a
woman succumbed to smoke and gases; sprinklers would have saved her life. She had a smoke alarm but
there was no battery. Her son has been a spokesperson for the Fire Department to encourage people to
keep their smoke alarms operational. The previous death was a smoking in bed fire; the victim died and
the fire went out. In that instance it is unlikely the flames would have activated a sprinkler system.
Mayor Cooper opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Ryan McIrvin, Snohomish County-Camano Association of Realtors, thanked the City for their
stakeholder outreach process, particularly the time devoted by Councilmember Wilson. Government
works best when it works with the community to find solutions. He commended the attempts to reduce
the cost by offsetting the general facilities charge. However, the members of the Association object to
mandating RFSS. He questioned how many lives would have been saved via hardwired smoke detectors
versus smoke detectors and fire sprinklers. He acknowledged fire sprinklers were an effective tool for
extinguishing fires and the proposed thresholds were more acceptable than a general mandate because it
offset affordability. He compared a requirement for fire sprinklers to requiring everyone wear a Kevlar
vest to reduce the number of people who die from gunshot wounds or requiring five point seatbelts to
reduce auto deaths. If the Council chose to implement the ordinance, the Association prefers the 5,000
square foot threshold. The Association fears the threshold will be lowered in the future.
Mike Echelbarger, Edmonds, stated he became involved in this discussion when considering a remodel
and requiring sprinklers for remodels was originally included in the ordinance. He pointed out requiring
the installation of sprinklers during a remodel is horribly expensive. He agreed with requiring fire
sprinklers in multi family dwellings but did not support requiring sprinklers in residential homes. He
noted the newer generation of smoke detectors are hardwired and battery versus older smoke detectors
that are simply battery operated. He referred to statistics provided by Fire Marshal Westfall of $3.8
million loss in the past five years or $650,000/year compared to the City’s total valuation. The two fire
deaths would not have been prevented by this ordinance. He commented on the damage that sprinklers
can do to photographs, artwork, books, etc. He questioned the need for sprinklers when smoke detectors
were very effective. He questioned the cost estimate for fire sprinkler installation of 0.38/square foot.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, commented the general facilities charge provides revenue to the City. He
questioned whether requiring sprinklers would reduce the need for fire personnel.
Steve Sherman, Fire District 1 Deputy Chief/Fire Marshal, commented considering stakeholders’
point of view places the Fire Marshal in a compromised position. He recalled at the first stakeholder
Packet Page 11 of 145
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 16, 2010
Page 9
meeting admitting to being an advocate for sprinklers. He supported adopting the model code with a zero
threshold. He admired the team effort to consider the concerns of the stakeholders.
Council President Bernheim commented the issue appeared to be cost versus benefit. He recognized the
building code required fire sprinklers in new construction apartments and commercial buildings and
questioned why fire sprinklers were not required in single family structures. Deputy Chief/Fire Marshal
Sherman responded it was not a fire code requirement, it was a residential code requirement. Sprinkler
protection was included in apartments and commercial structures via the International Building Code.
When the International Residential Code (IRC) was established, it separated multi family and single
family/duplexes. The recent adoption of the IRC at the national level requires sprinklers in all residential
structures. The fire industry supports having the model code effective on a national level. In the real
world, often a compromise is necessary that balances fire and builders wishes. If the fire industry is the
only consideration, the Council should adopt a zero threshold.
Gary Franz, Deputy Fire Chief, Graham Fire & Rescue, explained smoke detectors alert a person
inside a home to the fact that a fire is in progress; it has no ability to change the outcome of the fire once
it ignites. At a point in time, every fire will grow until water is applied with the limited exception of a fire
that extinguishes due to lack of oxygen. Sprinkler systems provide the water source at 135 degrees at
ceiling temperature; the lower levels are at a lower temperature. Sprinklers limit smoke and fire damage
and people have an opportunity to escape. He recalled listening to a caller on a cell phone trapped in a
bedroom while the smoke detector was activated who ultimately died. He summarized sprinklers provide
an entirely different level of protection. He guaranteed anyone who had been in a fire would advocate for
fire sprinklers. He offered to provide the Council the link to the independent study that provided a range
of installation costs from $0.38 to $3.66/square foot.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, recalled when he was on the Council in 1988, the Council passed a
requirement for fire sprinklers in buildings with 5+ units. He supported fire sprinklers in higher density
residential units due to the increased chance of loss of life in a fire. The question today is whether the goal
is saving buildings or people, the Fire Department has indicated they are satisfied with a building burning
as long as the people have been rescued. He anticipated the number of deaths due to the absence of smoke
detectors was much higher and that lower income housing may have more smokers. Fire sprinklers add
value to a building and lower costs over time. He pointed out most fires occur in older building which
would not be sprinklered under the proposed ordinances and new buildings contain more fire protections
even without sprinklers. He recommended the 5,000 square foot threshold and a reduction of fees/costs
for anyone voluntarily installing fire sprinklers.
Hearing no further comment, Mayor Cooper closed the public participation portion of the public hearing.
In response to questions from Councilmember Plunkett, Mr. Echelbarger acknowledged he was a
developer whose family has been constructing homes in Snohomish County for 40-50 years.
Councilmember Plunkett asked whether the infrastructure installed for a development would allow
sprinklers to be installed on an individual basis. Mr. Echelbarger answered yes, explaining the
infrastructure installed allows sprinklers to be or not be installed in an individual home.
Councilmember Plunkett referred to the indication that the City Council would not revisit this issue for
three years and asked whether the Council could reduce the threshold in the future. Mr. Snyder answered
there was no legal restriction on reconsideration; it was a political statement, not a legal restriction.
Councilmember Plunkett summarized this City Council or any future Council was under no obligation to
adhere to that intent. Mr. Snyder agreed.
Student Representative Gibson asked why the Council would not adopt a zero threshold. Councilmember
Wilson commented his personal feeling was he would not want sprinklers in his home and thus had
Packet Page 12 of 145
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 16, 2010
Page 10
difficulty requiring it for the community; fire professionals have a different view. If the principle is saving
lives, the threshold should be zero and sprinklers should be required in all existing homes.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented as a legislative body, the Council often places requirements
on the community such as PRD regulations, homeless shelters, etc. Mr. Echelbarger provided a builder’s
point of view and costs to the Public Safety Committee. She noted the person who died in a fire in
January 2010 may not have died if there were sprinklers in her home. The most vulnerable are the
disabled, seniors and children; people who may not be able exit a house quickly. She questioned what a
life was worth; her son’s life was worth everything to her to protect him. This is a social issue and is more
than cost. As a legislative body, it is the City Council’s responsibility to ensure the safety of the
community. She recalled the opposition when smoke detectors were initially required; now that is the
norm and she hoped fire sprinklers eventually would be the norm. The cost of adding fire sprinklers is
low compared to saving someone’s life.
Councilmember Wilson commented he did not find a compelling enough reason to adopt either
ordinance. He agreed with the proposal to reduce the general facilities charge to incentivize the
installation of fire sprinklers.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED TO ADOPT THE 5,000 SQUARE FOOT ORDINANCE,
ORDINANCE NO. 3819, STRIKING THE FOURTH WHEREAS THAT REFERENCES 5,000
SQUARE FEET AND STRIKING SECTIONS 1 AND 2 ON PAGE 2. MOTION DIED FOR LACK
OF A SECOND.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED TO PASS THE ORDINANCE AT THE 5,000
SQUARE FOOT LEVEL. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 3819 WITH A ZERO THRESHOLD, STRIKING
THE 5,000 SQUARE FOOT LANGUAGE.
Council President Bernheim was not persuaded regarding the value of a minimum threshold other than a
fire could pose more danger in a large structure versus a small structure. He commented these are
nationally established fire regulations and should not be left to consumer choice.
Mr. Snyder clarified that by deleting the words “exceeding 5,000 square feet of fire area,” in Section C,
the language that remains mirrors the model code.
Councilmember Wilson explained the Public Safety Committee spent 7-8 hours considering the proposed
ordinance. He acknowledged there are reasonable arguments that fire sprinklers should be required at
some level but the Committee expressly did not support a zero threshold. He pointed out the Council has
spent 15 minutes deliberating the issue and during the past hour, fire professionals have spent 40 minutes
explaining how fire sprinklers save lives. The Council has not provided ample opportunity for objective
rebuttal. If the Council wants to mandate a zero threshold, he suggested the Council take more time to
educate themselves and not limit the rebuttal to one builder speaking for three minutes.
Councilmember Plunkett did not support the proposed motion although he supported the concept of
residential sprinklers and a reduction in the connection charge for voluntary installation of fire sprinklers.
He welcomed additional discussion, noting the proposed motion was a drastic change from the 3,000 or
5,000 square foot threshold.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented the Council has had as much education as the Public Safety
Committee via receipt of numerous documents. She agreed the Public Safety Committee did not discuss a
zero threshold but the Committee also did not discuss a reduction in the connection charge for voluntary
Packet Page 13 of 145
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 16, 2010
Page 11
installation of fire sprinklers. The Committee agreed to a 3,000 or 5,000 square foot threshold to make it
more palatable to the builders. During Committee discussions, she indicated 3,000 square feet was the
lowest threshold she would accept. The members of the Public Safety Committee, Councilmember
Wilson and she, agreed to allow the Council to discuss it and make a decision.
Councilmember Peterson relayed his respect for fire professionals and their support for fire sprinklers to
save lives and property. He also respected the reality that builders face. He did not find that the added cost
outweighed the benefit. He referred to the seatbelt analogy, noting not long ago there were 2-point
seatbelts. Now there are 3-point seatbelts and wearing a seatbelt is required. The technology of seatbelts
has improved as has the technology for installing fire sprinklers in new homes. He expressed his support
for the motion, preferring to swing the balance toward safety.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON,
TO AMEND THE MOTION TO REQUIRE FIRE SPRINKLERS IN 3,000 SQUARE FOOT
HOMES.
Mayor Cooper asked whether that would include waiver of the connection charge for voluntary
installation of fire sprinklers in homes less than 3,000 square feet. Mr. Snyder relayed staff’s indication
that it would.
UPON ROLL CALL, AMENDMENT FAILED (3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS BUCKSHNIS,
PETERSON AND PETSO VOTING YES; COUNCILMEMBERS PLUNKETT, WILSON, AND
FRALEY-MONILLAS AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT BERNHEIM VOTING NO.
Councilmember Wilson commented throughout the discussion at the Public Safety Committee, it was
made clear that sprinklers are primarily about saving property; the vast majority of lives are saved via
smoke detectors. The Committee did not discuss retrofitting, assuming it was cost prohibitive. He
anticipated the cost of adding a sprinkler system to his existing home would be $20,000. He did not view
the $5,000 - $8,000 cost of installing sprinklers in a new home much differently than $20,000 for
sprinklers in an existing home. For those interested in affordable housing, requiring fire sprinklers will
burden low income, low square footage, low price market houses. He acknowledged an additional
$10,000 for fire sprinklers in a 5,000 square foot home would have little noticeable impact. However, the
additional cost would significantly impact the purchaser of a 1300 square foot home.
Councilmember Plunkett commented a zero threshold raised many additional dynamics. He noted
tonight’s presentation was in regard to a 3,000 or 5,000 square foot threshold; there was no presentations
or public testimony regarding a zero threshold.
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BUCKSHNIS, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO 3,000 SQUARE FEET.
Discussion followed regarding whether such a motion was in order as it had previously been defeated.
Mr. Snyder recommended the Council vote on the main motion first.
Councilmember Plunkett suggested the Council hold another public hearing because a zero threshold was
different than the presentation or testimony provided.
MAYOR COOPER RULED THE AMENDMENT OUT OF ORDER.
COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT MOVED TO TABLE THIS ITEM, SUBJECT TO COUNCIL
PRESIDENT BERNHEIM SCHEDULING ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING. UPON ROLL CALL,
MOTION FAILED (3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS PETSO, WILSON AND PLUNKETT VOTING
YES; AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT BERNHEIM AND COUNCILMEMBERS PETERSON,
FRALEY-MONILLAS AND BUCKSHNIS VOTING NO.
Packet Page 14 of 145

COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PETERSON, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO 2,999 SQUARE FEET. UPON ROLL CALL,
AMENDMENT FAILED (3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS PETERSON, FRALEY-MONILLAS, AND
BUCKSHNIS VOTING YES; AND COUNCILMEMBERS WILSON, PLUNKETT, AND PETSO
AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT BERNHEIM VOTING NO.
Councilmember Petso commented she may have been able to support a zero threshold had the public
hearing included that option. She agreed with Councilmember Plunkett that that option was not presented
to the public tonight. She supported scheduling another public hearing, finding the safety of fire personnel
an important consideration in requiring the installation of fire sprinklers.
Mayor Cooper pointed out the agenda title was Public Hearing Regarding Residential Fire Sprinklers; he
asked if the notice stated square footage thresholds. Mr. Snyder answered there was no legal problem; the
Council could consider an ordinance at a regular meeting and a public hearing was not required unless
required by statute which was not applicable in this instance. He summarized there was no legal problem,
the issue may be appearance as the zero threshold was not included in the packet as an option.
With regard to 3,000 versus 5,000 square feet, Councilmember Wilson commented the Public Safety
Committee worked hard to dull the emotion regarding this topic. If a zero threshold had been one of the
options, he was certain more members of the building and real estate community would have attended
tonight’s meeting. This meeting was advertised in the Master Builder’s newsletter and communicated to
the Snohomish County-Camano Realtors Association with information that the Public Safety Committee
did not recommend a zero threshold. If the Council was interested in a zero threshold he recommended
delaying the decision to gather further public input.
If a zero threshold would save firefighters’ and the public’s lives, Student Representative Gibson did not
understand why it was such a large issue to require fire sprinklers in new residential homes.
VOTE ON THE MAIN MOTION:
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION FAILED (3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS PETERSON AND FRALEY
COUNCIL AND PRESIDENT BERNHEIM VOTING YES; AND COUNCILMEMBERS PETSO,
PLUNKETT, BUCKSHNIS AND WILSON VOTING NO.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
BRING THIS ITEM BACK FOR ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas questioned the need for another public hearing if the Council had not
approved a zero threshold. Councilmember Petso answered that based on tonight’s discussion, a zero
threshold is a possibility.
Council President Bernheim commented he had expected a motion tonight to adopt a 3,000 or 5,000
square foot threshold. He made the motion for a zero threshold after being persuaded by the fire
professionals’ comments versus the builder. He agreed requiring fire sprinklers added costs, but all safety
and building regulations add cost. With the failure of the zero threshold, he supported adopting a 3,000
square foot threshold.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS WITHDREW HER SECOND, AND COUNCILMEMBER
PLUNKETT SECONDED THE MOTION.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas encouraged the Council to vote no, finding no reason for a future public
hearing if the options were to require fire sprinklers for 3,000 and 5,000 square foot residential structures.
MOTION FAILED (2-5), COUNCILMEMBERS PLUNKETT AND PETSO VOTING YES.

MOTION CARRIED (5-2), COUNCILMEMBERS PLUNKETT AND WILSON VOTING NO.
Mayor Cooper thanked the Council for their lively and professional debate on this difficult issue. He
declared a brief recess.
5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Natalie Shippen, Edmonds, requested the Community Services/Economic Development Quarterly
Report be placed on the Council Agenda instead of the Consent Agenda and the report placed on the
information table in Council Chambers. She requested the following from Mayor Cooper: 1) a list of the
minimum build alternatives for Edmonds ferry improvements referred to in the July 29 quarterly report
that the ferry system staff continues to explore, 2) options for improving loading and off-loading
efficiency that were considered at the meeting regarding the Main Street terminal held with WSF
representative David Mosley, two State representatives, and City staff, where would the additional signal
be located and how would it improve the existing system, 3) WSF’s new plan for Unocal does not include
a Sound Transit station at Unocal, 4) when will the Unocal/Chevron site be cleaned up and will it be clean
enough to meet mixed use zoning that applies to the property in the Comprehensive Plan, and 5) the
quarterly report refers to a June 27 workshop regarding the Mukilteo multimodal terminal and reference
was made to a WSF website for further information. She asked whether that website would have
described WSF’s suggestion for a Clinton-Edmonds route to replace the Clinton-Mukilteo route.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, thanked Mayor Cooper and Council President Bernheim for attending the
Christmas in July event at Top Foods to collect toys for the Edmonds Food Bank Toy Drive. The
Edmonds Food Bank served 500 people today; the most it has served in a long time. Food and toys will
be collected again at Top Foods on November 19, 20 and 21. He thanked everyone who donated food and
toys.
Don Hall, Edmonds, relayed his concern with Council President Bernheim’s removal and defacing of
signs on Sunset Avenue. Item 6 on the April 20, 2010 agenda states Public Hearing on Proposed
Amendments to the Edmonds City Code, Dogs on Public Grounds, not passage of an ordinance. At that
meeting the Council unanimously passed a motion adopting the recommended amendments to the
Edmonds City Code 5.05.060 allowing dogs on leashes and on designated paths at Hickman Park, Haines
Wharf Park and well as the path and grassy strip along the west side of Sunset Avenue. Mr. Snyder
advised an ordinance adopting the amendments would be scheduled on a future Consent Agenda; this did
not occur until recently. He referred to Council President Bernheim questioning the truth of the statement
that the Council recommended amendments to the City code, finding it legally false. He referred to
Council President Bernheim’s assertion that the Council voted on April 20, 2010 to open Sunset Avenue
to dogs on leashes, pointing out an ordinance was required to enact that direction. In a February 22, 2009
email regarding Sunset Avenue, Council President Bernheim stated a possible solution would be to ask
the Public Works Department to remove the three signs along Sunset Avenue and others at Brackett’s
Landing so that people would think it was okay to walk their dogs in the park. Mr. Hall questioned the
rush, noting the issue was raised in February 2009, the changes were recommended in April 2010 and
Council President Bernheim only needed to wait another 3-4 days before the ordinance was passed on the
Consent Agenda.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to Item 9 on the agenda, suggesting another public hearing be
scheduled as changes had been made to the plans. Acknowledging the job of operating the City and
supervising personnel is the Mayor’s responsibility, he offered criticism of Mayor Cooper’s management
Packet Page 16 of 145
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

Page 14
style in regard to staff behavior that is detrimental to the health of City government. He referred to the
behavior of Finance Director Lorenzo Hines two weeks ago during a financial report and discussion
regarding the 1% increase in the regular property tax levy in which Mr. Hines turned his back to
Councilmember Buckshnis and returned to his seat. He requested Mayor Cooper ask Mr. Hines to
publicly apologize to Councilmember Buckshnis for his disrespect and arrogance.
11A. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING DEFENSE AND INDEMNITY PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 2.06.
Council President Bernheim explained the proposed resolution would indemnify Councilmembers from
incurring fees for the purposes mentioned in the resolution.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETSO,
TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 1237, AUTHORIZING DEFENSE AND INDEMNITY
PURSUANT TO CHATPER 2.06 ECC SUBJECT TO RESERATION OF RIGHTS, OF TWO CITY
COUNCILMEMBERS FROM THE COST OF LEGAL DEFENSE INCURRED IN RESPONSE TO
A WORKPLACE INVESTIGATION.
Councilmember Wilson requested a copy of the resolution and an opportunity to read it. City Clerk Sandy
Chase also requested a copy of the resolution.
Councilmember Wilson expressed his support for the intent, noting he had not read Chapter 2.06. His
understanding was electeds when acting in an official capacity were indemnified and represented by
corporate counsel when appropriate and the costs borne by the City. He asked if the resolution was simply
a restatement of that regulation. Council President Bernheim answered in order to provide that benefit it
must be authorized by the City Council. Councilmember Wilson asked whether the indemnity always
exists and a resolution only required when members need to obtain outside counsel. City Attorney Scott
Snyder explained there is a process in Chapter 2.06.040, indemnity from a claim, settlement or payment is
covered; the costs of defense are covered to the extent of the City’s contract with Ogden Murphy Wallace.
The City will pay up to $215/hour to supplement any costs incurred by the Councilmember. As an
example, he referred to several employees who made a similar request to the Council several months ago
when they were the subject of a claim at the State Licensing Agency. The conflict for him arises because
he represents the City in its corporate capacity and cannot advise Councilmembers in this process.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if she needed to recuse herself from the vote. Mr. Snyder answered the
conflict of interest statute does not apply; this is a benefit provided by ordinance and she need not recuse
herself.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
6. ADOPTION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE ANNUAL TAX LEVY BY
INCREASING THE REGULAR PROPERTY TAX LEVY BY THE CURRENT 101% LEVY

7. 2010 THIRD QUARTER BUDGET UPDATE
Finance Director Lorenzo Hines reported the 2010 Third Quarter Budget Update was discussed at the
November 9 Finance Committee meeting and a number of questions were asked. Responses to questions
will be provided by the end of the week. He invited additional questions.
Packet Page 17 of 145
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 16, 2010
Page 15
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out the June Quarterly Budget was updated based on the proposed
budget amendments which resulted in a misstatement of the June Quarterly Budget; the amendments
approved in October were not included in the Third Quarter Budget. The Third Quarter Budget shows an
interfund transfer of $1.3 million from Fund 511 to the General Fund. Mr. Hines offered to research,
noting it may be due to Fire District 1 transactions. Councilmember Buckshnis questioned the logic of
including the unapproved budget amendments in the Second Quarter Budget Update (June) and not
including the amendments in the Third Quarter Budget (September) that were approved on October 5. Mr.
Hines answered the amendment was approved in the October accounting period and will be reflected in
Period 10.
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to RCW 35A.33.140 regarding quarterly statements and statutory
requirements. She asked if there was a legal risk in misstating the City’s financial statements and having
inaccurate financial statements that had been intentionally created. She noted in the corporate sector,
misstatements in financial statements requiring notification of the SEC, restatement of the financial
statements, etc. Mr. Snyder answered SEC rules do not apply to the City. He offered to research and
provide a written response to the Council. For the purposes of his memo, he would assume the
information was inaccurate.
Councilmember Petso commented the EMS transport fees seem to be trickling in at a slow rate, the
revenue from that source is only at 45% of budget. She asked whether staff had been able to determine
why receipt of those funds was so slow and whether receipt would improve during the remainder of the
year to reach the budgeted amount. Mr. Hines responded staff is still researching that issue; an answer
will be included in his responses by the end of the week.
Councilmember Petso expressed her appreciation for staff adding funds to the Budget Summary by Fund
and requested all funds be included such as the $1.3 million Public Safety Reserve Fund.
Councilmember Wilson asked if Fire District 1 was less motivated to collect the funds than the Edmonds
Fire Department had been. Mayor Cooper responded the Fire District 1 Chief indicated to him that they
are transporting more people inside Edmonds than the Edmonds Fire Department had. Some of the delay
is due to insurance and Medicaid reimbursements. He noted it was possible the City would receive a
windfall of collections in 2011 when all reimbursements are made. Councilmember Wilson observed that
same windfall may have occurred in early 2010.
8. AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR CONSTRUCTION BIDS FOR THE INTERURBAN
TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS
City Engineer Rob English explained if approved by the Council, staff would advertise for construction
bids in early 2011. He provided a map of trails in Snohomish and King Counties including the Burke-
Gilman, Centennial and Interurban trails, explaining the Interurban Trail is part of a trail system from
Seattle to Everett. He provided a brief history of the trail, explaining the Ballinger Trolley Car operated
on the alignment through Edmonds, serving Edmonds to Seattle. He provided a photograph of the old
Lake Ballinger Station used by the trolley system. Today, portions of the trail alignment are overgrown,
unimproved right-of-way. He reviewed project goals that include providing a continuous trail, safe
recreation and commuter opportunities, meeting local and regional needs and creating and preserving
access to a linear park and open spaces.
Mr. English described the trail:
Beginning at Ballinger Park on the south, a 12-foot wide trail will be constructed to 76th Avenue
Crossing 76th Avenue, the trail will continue to 74th Avenue, a paved residential street
From 74th to 75th will be improved for trail and vehicle users
Packet Page 18 of 145
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 16, 2010
Page 16
North from that location, a 12-foot wide trail will be constructed to 228th where it connects with
the Mountlake Terrace trail that was constructed last year
76th Avenue will be restriped to provide bike lanes from SR104 north to 228th and on 228th from
76th to the Mountlake Terrace trail. Bike lanes will require removal of some parking spaces on
76th Avenue. Bike lanes will shift from side to side to provide parking along 76th Avenue.
Shelter on the trail on the east side of 76th.
Public Works Director Phil Williams explained in recent months, pervious asphalt has been added to
several key sections of the trail. The project was originally designed with all impervious asphalt and a
detention vault was included to offset 1:1 the additional square footage added to the sensitive Lake
Ballinger drainage area. The change to pervious asphalt for a total length of 2,100 feet of the 4,400 feet of
trail creates a net environmental positive.
Councilmember Peterson asked about the cost difference for pervious asphalt. Mr. Williams answered
although it was originally anticipated the cost would be substantial, recent discussions with paving
vendors suggests the total cost to add pervious asphalt would be at or below $50,000 for the additional
aggregate placed below the asphalt to create a reservoir for storage of water.
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS,
TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO ADVERTISE FOR CONSTRUCTION BIDS FOR
THE INTERURBAN TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS.
Councilmember Peterson commented the members of Community Services/Development Services
Committee (Councilmember Petso and he) originally intended to place this item on the Consent Agenda
but felt such a positive project should be highlighted.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented at the presentation Mr. Williams, Mr. English and Mr. Hauss
made at the SeaShore Transportation Forum, everyone was excited about the Interurban Trail project
because Edmonds has been the missing link.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
9. CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (2011-2016).
City Engineer Rob English explained the draft Capital Facilities Plan (2011-2016) and Capital
Improvement Program (2011-2016) were presented to the CS/DS Committee on September 14, 2010, a
presentation was made to the City Council on September 28, 2010, and a public hearing was held on
October 5, 2010. At the October 5 public hearing, 3 issues were raised:
1. The $50,000 for traffic calming added to the Transportation Plan was not included in the
CFP. Staff has added that amount to the CFP.
2. TBD revenue and projects shown in the CFP did not match the TBD list approved by the
TBD Board. With the failure of the TBD ballot measure, reference to TBD revenue has been
changed to unsecured revenue. It is important to retain the projects in the CFP and to match
the TIP because projects eligible for grant funding must be in the 6-year TIP.
3. Prioritization of the CFP General Project List. As a result of a meeting Councilmember
Wilson held with staff, then-Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh prepared a memo
with additional explanation regarding the status of projects.
He noted the Council approved the Surface Water portion of the plan at the October 5, 2010 Council
meeting.

COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT
BERNHEIM, TO APPROVE THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN AND THE CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (2011-2016).
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
AMEND THE MOTION TO ADD TO THE 2011 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM A
PUBLIC MARKET FACILITY IN THE DOWNTOWN WATERFRONT AREA WITH NO DATA
OR COSTS SPECIFIED AND TO ADD IT TO THE 2011 DOCKET. AMENDMENT CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
THE VOTE ON THE MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED (5-2), COUNCILMEMBERS
PLUNKETT AND WILSON VOTING NO.
Councilmember Wilson thanked staff, particularly Mr. McIntosh for describing the rationale for several
projects in the CIP. He noted some of items on the CIP General list were included because someone
suggested it at a public meeting and there has been no feasibility work or significant staff support for
many of those projects such as the Edmonds Sno-Isle Library changes. He suggested when the CFP/CIP
is adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan amendments at the end of the year, consideration be given
to removing some of those projects.
10. ANNUAL NON-REPRESENTED COMPENSATION UPDATE.
Human Resources Director Debi Humann explained as required by the City’s Non-Represented
Compensation (NRC) policy, she is presenting the results of the annual compensation survey, the updated
NRC policy and the draft Salary Ordinance. Non-represented employees’ salaries are impacted by three
actions, 1) the annual salary survey required by the NRC policy, 2) annual merit increases that are tied to
employee performance, and 3) when warranted, a cost of living adjustment (COLA) approved by Council.
The annual salary survey was performed per the NRC policy and the results of both surveyed positions
were included in the Council packet. The position of Police Chief and Human Resources Assistant were
compared against like positions in comparable cities. This year’s survey found the position of Police
Chief was below the median position and as a result of the survey and per City policy, Band A requires a
slight adjustment upward to maintain the L-5 position to the marketplace which also results in a slight
upward movement to Bands B-G. No movement was warranted for the Band H as the survey shows the
HR Assistant position was at the L5 or median of the marketplace.
Ms. Humann noted this slight movement of the bands does not mean that the non-represented employees
receive a wage increase. Per the NRC policy, merit increases are awarded on the employee's anniversary
date and are based on job performance. Due to the difficult economy, non-represented employees,
comprised of management, professional and technical teams, have over the past few years had their wages
frozen, given back salary savings via furloughs and have voluntarily accepted smaller annual merit
increases than allowed for under the policy. Unlike union employees, none of the non-represented
employees are paid at the maximum of their band.
With the negative June-June CPI, no COLA is recommended or requested for 2011 for non-represented
employees. The Council packet includes an updated version of the NRC policy. The updated policy and
wage information were presented at the October Finance Committee where it was agreed the materials
should move forward to full Council without recommendation. The Finance Committee requested the
changes to Article 1.3 of the draft ordinance, clarifying that this section was to be used on a temporary
basis only. A Councilmember also requested both the current non-represented band amounts as well as
the proposed band amounts be provided for comparison purposes. This information is contained in the
draft ordinance as well as in Exhibit A, titled "2011 Non-Represented Employee Pay Schedule."

Staff requests Council approval of the 2011 Wage Bands reflecting the results of the salary survey per
City policy, approval of the updated NRC policy and approval of the draft salary ordinance.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON,
TO EXTEND THE MEETING FOR ONE HOUR. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Council President Bernheim asked whether the material presented applied to the hourly adjustments
discussed at the Finance Committee meeting last week with regard to the change in minimum wage. Ms.
Humann answered it did not. Her understanding was the Finance Committee reviewed the minimum wage
table and approval would be scheduled on a future Consent Agenda.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PETERSON, TO APPROVE THE NON-REPRESENTED COMPENSATION POLICY.
Councilmember Petso did not support the motion. She appreciated the changes made in paragraph 1.3 and
thanked Ms. Humann and Police Chief Compaan for meeting with her to explain the policy. She was not
convinced there was anything coherent about the policy and offered to make a budget amendment to have
a proper salary survey conducted and different policy established. She did not support the NRC policy for
the following reasons:
1. Comparable cities are limited to King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties which excludes cities
that may have positions that are comparable to the work Edmonds employees perform such as
Bremerton, Olympia or Lacey.
2. Only two positions out of approximately 24 positions are surveyed for comparables. At that
rate, those positions would not be surveyed again for 12 years or if those same two positions
are surveyed each year, the salaries of the other 22 employees are not surveyed.
3. The ordinance identifies a series of bands and employees are paid within the bands. She was
not satisfied with that approach. For example Band A includes the Police Chief who
supervises 50-60 employees, the Human Resources Director who supervises two employees
and the Parks & Recreation Director who supervises numerous employees. She summarized
the positions in Band A perform very different functions and she was uncertain why they
would be in the same band.
4. There are no actual numbers in any of the documents; therefore, she was unaware how much
each position in Band A is paid. The ordinance specifies a range of between $100,000 and
$155,000. The budget does not specify the amount. Councilmembers are not permitted to
review actual payroll; she can only see the total amount of payroll when it is approved.
Councilmember Plunkett observed review of the NRC policy is scheduled on an upcoming agenda. City
Clerk Sandy Chase advised it was scheduled on the December 21 meeting agenda. If the Council planned
to review the NRC policy in December, he asked why the Council needed to adopt an updated policy
tonight. Ms. Humann answered the only change made to the policy was to update titles to reflect current
staff. The actual process and policy was not changed. City Attorney Scott Snyder explained in order to
implement the ordinance, the Council needed banding to describe who was in each band, page 3 describes
the annual merit increase that the Mayor provides pursuant to paragraph 1.2 of the ordinance, and
recruitment which places employees within a band. He suggested those portions were necessary to allow
staff to administer the ordinance.
Councilmember Plunkett summarized approving the policy implements the ordinance. Although he was
not satisfied with the policy, the actions requested by Ms. Humann were in accordance with the policy.
Because the Council planned to begin reviewing the policy next, he was willing to adopt the update to the
existing policy.

Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to the current bands and proposed bands, noting the amount
within the proposed bands is higher for Bands A-G. She asked if it was within the Mayor’s prerogative to
determine whether an employee merits a raise within the new, higher band. Ms. Humann explained
according to the NRC policy, the band minimums and maximums are established annually by the
Council. Merit increases between 0 and 3% are based on performance as determined by an employee’s
annual performance review. None of the non-represented employees are at the top of their band.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas summarized an employee with good performance could receive a 3-5%
increase in 2011. Ms. Humann answered the merit increases are 0-3%. There is language in the NRC
policy that allows for a 5% increase for meritorious service. In the history of the policy, only one
employee has received 5%. During the last two years, non-represented employees at the director and
division manager level have received half merit increases.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked how represented employees’ increases were calculated. Ms.
Humann answered collective bargaining agreements establish wages; their steps are 5% until they reach
the maximum of their pay grade. Represented employees receive a 5% annual increase based on
longevity, not performance.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to the section regarding additional compensation for an
employee doing the duties of another position. Ms. Humann answered City policies address working out
of class, doing the work of a position of a higher level such as filling in during vacation for the
supervisor. There was no policy for an employee doing the job of a lower level employee. The NRC
policy gave the Mayor the opportunity to award someone doing additional work at a lower level. That has
never been used; non-represented employees have simply absorbed additional workloads.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented the policy could change in five weeks. Ms. Humann
answered the Council would begin reviewing the NRC policy in five weeks. Mr. Snyder advised approval
of the annual salary ordinance is required to supplement approval of the budget.
Councilmember Wilson observed the City’s policy is L-5 or the median of comparable cities. In
implementation for bargaining units, the L-5 level is actually the top of the band. Ms. Humann agreed,
explaining an employee paid to the maximum of their wage band, they are paid to the median of the
benchmarked cities. He observed the top of the band for the Police Chief was $155,000 which is the L-5
level. He anticipated the City did not have the staff to compare job descriptions or workloads. Ms.
Humann agreed, noting there was more to the directors’ functions than the number of employees they
supervise.
Councilmember Wilson agreed, noting basing L5 on title was not an accurate representation to set policy.
Ms. Humann explained there are many different compensation policies in other cities; there was no one
correct way. Councilmember Wilson recalled former Councilmember Wambolt’s support for a market
survey. Mr. Snyder commented one of the reasons the Council adopted the NRC policy was to avoid
paying a consultant biannually to conduct a survey. Ms. Humann pointed out the last time the City hired a
consultant was in 1997. One of the reasons the current policy only surveys two positions is the limited
staffing levels in Human Resources.
Councilmember Wilson commented the median compensation level for the Police Chief with a
department of 55 uniformed officers is $155,000 and the Human Resources Director with a department of
2 is also at $155,000 and there are differences in their job responsibilities. He recalled Ms. Humann’s
previous title was Human Resources Manager, noting whether an employee was a director or manager
was based on his/her job description. Ms. Humann explained prior to the NRC policy, every non-
represented position was benchmarked to other cities. She assured the Human Resources Director does
not earn what the Police Chief does; her salary is the lowest of all director positions. When all the
Packet Page 22 of 145
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 16, 2010
Page 20
positions were originally benchmarked, they were transferred into a band. Although each employee has
received merit increases over the years, their salaries have not increased much beyond the original bands.
There is a 50% band width in each band. The majority of positions are between the minimum and median
of each band; few positions are above the median with the exception of the Police Chief which is
benchmarked to the outside.
Councilmember Wilson commented if the Human Resources Director was moved to Band C, it would
have no practical impact. Ms. Humann acknowledged it was very difficult to compare jobs. Former
Mayor Haakenson and she discussed essential functions, degree of responsibility, degree of liability to the
City, etc. when placing positions in the bands. She acknowledged placing job titles into bands was a
subjective decision.
Councilmember Wilson recognized the NRC policy had been in place for a while. He was concerned the
current policy stated a 5% merit increase could be awarded for meritorious service, that another 5% could
be provided for an employee doing additional job duties, and that an additional week’s compensation was
provided for employees doing training.
Mayor Cooper clarified employees can receive up to a 3% merit increase; under special circumstances for
meritorious service, an employee can received 5%. Since this policy was adopted, only one non-
represented employee has received a 5% increase. For an employee to receive a 5% increase, his/her boss
must convince the Mayor that his/her performance warrants a 5% increase. The 5% acting pay only
applied during the period of time an employee was doing someone else’s job up to a maximum of 6
months or until the position is filled. For example there is currently no Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Arts Director; he did not appoint an acting director and none of the three managers are receiving
additional compensation. During the period of time the Development Services Director position was
vacant, neither the Building Official nor the Planning Manager received additional compensation to
perform those duties. Although Mr. Clifton assumed many of the Development Services Director’s
responsibilities, neither former Mayor Haakenson nor he authorized additional compensation. Not
because they did not deserve it but due to concern with the City’s budget. Councilmember Wilson
suggested revising the policy to reflect current practice.
Councilmember Plunkett suggested it would not be effective to tweak the existing policy when the
Council would be reviewing the policy soon. The proposed policy implements the ordinance and keeps it
in place until the Council completes its review of the policy.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked why the policy was being updated and whether the old policy
would remain in place if the Council did not adopt the updated policy. Ms. Humann answered the only
change to the NRC policy was new non-represented employee titles. For example the previous Finance
Director’s title was Administrative Services Director and some titles for employees on the 2nd floor were
added. The process in the policy was not altered. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if the Council
not adopting the NRC policy update affected any non-represented employees’ salaries, benefits, etc. Mr.
Snyder commented the policy authorizes how any new position was placed in the band. Unless the NRC
policy is approved, the salaries for those new positions would not be authorized. Councilmember Fraley-
Monillas summarized it would harm non-represented employees by their not receiving the banded salary.
Mr. Snyder clarified the City would receive an audit note that an employee was being paid without their
being included in the salary ordinance. Ms. Humann answered unless the updated NRC policy were
adopted, the City would not be in compliance with the policy.

FOR NON-REPRESENTED EXEMPT PERSONNEL FOR THE BUDGET YEAR 2011.

Councilmember Buckshnis commented when Band A increases, the other bands also receive an increase.
She commented it would have been beneficial to survey both Bands A and B. Ms. Humann clarified none
of the employees receive an automatic increase due to the band adjustments, the bands are simply
adjusted. Councilmember Buckshnis assumed if Band A and B had been surveyed and Band A increased
and Band B did not, it may not have been appropriate to increase Bands B-G.
Council President Bernheim did not like the system and did not completely understand it. However, at
this point in the year, as a practical matter, the Council needs to approve the policy in place. Changes to
the policy could be considered next year.
Councilmember Plunkett observed the ranges were within the Mayor’s preliminary budget. Mayor
Cooper agreed, noting although the bands changed, none of the employees were guaranteed an increase
and under the policy none of the employees were eligible for a raise larger than a 3% merit increase based
on their evaluation. He has informed the directors to expect a maximum 1.5% merit increase.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas expressed concern with increasing the bands now and potentially
reversing that decision and lowering the bands next year. Mr. Snyder responded all the non-represented
employees were at-will employees and their salaries could be reduced or their jobs eliminated at any time
for any reason. Mayor Cooper clarified the Council could pass a new salary ordinance at any time and
change the band. Mr. Snyder agreed. Mayor Cooper pointed out prior to appointing the new Mayor, the
Council passed a new salary ordinance setting the Mayor’s salary for the remainder of the term. He
anticipated drastic changes would need to be made to result in a cut to an employee’s salary because none
of them are at the top of the band. Mr. Snyder commented another tool is red-lining/maintaining a salary
at a level until the band catches up.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas acknowledged the Mayor’s salary was revised but the position was
vacant at the time. She expressed concern with potentially reducing an employee’s salary. Mayor Cooper
clarified his point was the Council had the ability to approve a salary ordinance at any time that reduced
or increased the bands. The salary ordinance needs to be passed to enact the budget.
Councilmember Wilson clarified his intent was not to reduce salaries; he was interested in eliminating the
language in the ordinance that provides an additional week of compensation for an employee participating
in training another employee.
MOTION CARRIED (5-2), COUNCILMEMBERS PETSO AND WILSON VOTING NO.

Councilmember Buckshnis asked when the Council would receive actual numbers, exhibits and
summations of departments that have been requested. Mayor Cooper responded staff is continuing to
answer questions the Council and citizens raised. His understanding was the attachments contained the
requested information and he asked what additional information she needed. Councilmember Buckshnis
advised Exhibit 4 was the only chart the Council has received.
Councilmember Petso planned to propose the following amendment:
Not use one-time money from the Public Safety Reserve for fire hydrant maintenance. The
Council adopted a particularly high water utility tax for the purpose of fire hydrant maintenance.
She planned to allocate funds from the water utility tax for fire hydrant maintenance.
Councilmember Peterson planned to propose the following amendments:
Fund the $100,000 Strategic Plan proposed by the Economic Development Commission. He was
considering funding it with cuts from other areas of the budget.

reallocating funds in the budget
Councilmember Buckshnis advised she has prepared the following amendments:
Establishing a reserve of one month’s expenditures

Authorize Stormwater and GIS positions
Transfer $280,000 - $300,000 from the General Fund to the Street Fund 111
Council President Bernheim listed the amendments he planned to propose:
Budget less for the City Attorney, acknowledging budgeting less did not necessarily result in
spending less
Include $40,000 to remodel the Old Mill Town Park
Charge Woodway more for police services
Explore with the Police Department ways to reduce the $50,000/month jail care budget
Explore alternatives to park maintenance that do not require purchasing new leaf blowers
Councilmember Wilson asked for a more detailed breakdown of the revenue forecast. Further detail
would allow him to determine the amount budgeted for EMS transport fees in 2011. He asked whether the
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) had provided a formal recommendation. He noted the
ordinance requires the LTAC to provide a formal recommendation to the Council for its budgeted
expenditures. Community Services/Economic Development Director Stephen Clifton answered as part of
the budget process, the Council reviews the LTAC budget. He relayed Cultural Services Manager Frances
Chapin’s indication that that process had been followed in the past. Councilmember Wilson responded the
process he described was contained in the ordinance.

Council President Bernheim clarified the intent of this agenda item was for Councilmembers to identify
the amendments they planned to propose. Councilmember Wilson clarified he planned to propose an
amendment regarding funding the ECA using LTAC funds but was uncertain whether the LTAC had met
and made a recommendation. Next, he requested the questions he submitted in response to Question 1 in
Week October 11 be provided.
Councilmember Wilson planned to propose the following amendments:
Reinstate the Crime Prevention Unit
Reinstate the School Resource Officer
Implement the $50,000 for traffic calming in the CIP – Public Works Director Phil Williams
offered to prepare a budget amendment
Review the advertising plan for economic development to ensure it is as robust as possible
Hire police officers to bring the level to the average
Councilmember Wilson recognized a significant number of additional expenditures would be proposed
but few cuts.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVE TO HAVE
EVERY BUDGET AMENDMENT REGARDING AN EXPENDITURE BE OFFSET BY A
CUT/REALLOCATION SO THAT ALL AMENDMENTS ARE BUDGET NEUTRAL. MOTION
DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING FOR 30 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Plunkett commented he supported Councilmember Wilson’s motion in concept but was
not willing to be restricted at this time. Councilmember Plunkett distributed three amendments:
Restore $36,500 to the Park Trust Fund
The Historic Preservation Commission has requested $7,500 to reprint the historic brochure and
walking tour
Chamber of Commerce has requested $5,000 for the parade
Councilmember Buckshnis indicated she planned to submit a $5,000 request for the Chamber from the
Council Contingency Fund. She asked whether Councilmember Plunkett was suggesting $5,000 to fund
next year’s parade. Councilmember Plunkett advised he was willing to consider options.
The Council accepted Mayor Cooper’s offer to have staff prepare amendments regarding the other
decision packages proposed by staff such as additional portable toilets ($5,000), lawnmower and leaf
blower, and Police body armor. He advised the $42,000 request for a consultant for the healthcare plan
broker was not needed.
Mr. Hines advised the supplemental information distributed on October 22 included the revised decision
package document that identifies the fund. He offered to resend the list tomorrow.
Mayor Cooper advised staff was preparing an interactive spreadsheet that will be displayed as
Councilmembers introduce amendments to illustrate how the amendment will change expenditures and
revenues on Exhibit 4 as well as the future year’s projections.

CLOSED RECORD ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL OF
PRELIMINARY PRD DECISION AND TO ELIMINATE
OVERLAP OF PERIMETER BUFFERS AND SETBACKS FOR
EXTERIOR LOT LINES, AND FIXING A TIME WHEN THE
SAME SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE.
WHEREAS, preliminary planned residential development (PRD) decisions are
issued by the Hearing Examiner upon recommendation by the Architectural Design Board on site
and building designs; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to afford the opportunity for closed record
appeals on preliminary PRD decisions issued by the hearing examiner; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes eliminate ambiguity on whether setbacks for
exterior lot lines and perimeter buffers can overlap; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, DO
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Subsection 20.35.080(A)(4) of the Edmonds Community
Development Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
4. The Public Hearing with the Hearing Examiner. The
hearing examiner shall review the proposed PRD for
compliance with this section as a Type III-B decision.
If, after all appeals are exhausted, the proposal is denied, a
similar plan for the site may not be submitted to the

Packet Page 84 of 145
{BFP779770.DOC;1\00006.150243\ } - 2 -
that satisfies the objections stated by the final decision-
maker may be submitted at any time.
An applicant who intends to subdivide the land for sale as
part of the project shall obtain subdivision approval in
accordance with Chapter 20.75 ECDC before any building
permit or authorization to begin construction is issued, and
before sale of any portion of the property. The preferred

a public way, the buffer shall be at least equal to the depth
of the front yard setback required by the zone. The depth
of the buffer shall be measured perpendicular to the
boundary of the exterior property line setback. If such a
buffer is provided, interior setbacks may be flexible and
determined in accord with ECDC 20.35.030.
Section 3. Effective Date. This ordinance, being an exercise of a power specifi-
cally delegated to the City legislative body, is not subject to referendum, and shall take effect
five (5) days after passage and publication of an approved summary thereof consisting of the
title.

October 12, 2010
Page 2
Support a package of local fiscal flexibility measures such as:
• Unifying the uses of the first and second quarters of the
local Real Estate Excise Tax (REET), including flexibility
to use the local REET for parks maintenance and
operations,
• Additional flexibility with lodging taxes,
• Reduce matching requirements for state grants,
• Review statutory update schedules for land use and
environmental planning updates, such as GMA, SMA,
water systems and sewer plans, to determine if
streamlining is possible or updates can be delayed.
In addition, oppose temporary suspension of local impact fee
authority.
4. Public Records Requests
Support legislation to provide some relief for cities and other
governmental agencies from overly burdensome public records
requests.
5. Street Maintenance Utility Authority
Support the Street Maintenance Utility Authority legislation as
both a management tool and a funding source for local
transportation systems.
6. Transportation Revenue Package
Support the advancement of a statewide transportation

October 12, 2010
Page 3
• Seek support for an engineering pre-design, detailed
traffic study, and ROW plan for a signature, five-legged
round-a-bout at Five Corners. This project will address a
significant but correctable congestion problem on the
primary corridor leading into downtown Edmonds.

Seek capital budget funding for the Edmonds Main Street
Rebuilding Project (from 5th Avenue North to 6th Avenue
North); this includes incorporating Low Impact

credit (.033) from 2027 to 2037.

Support the Washington Aerospace Partnership and other
stakeholder groups in developing a unified strategy (e.g.,
training & education, research & development, Office of
Aerospace and Defense, unemployment insurance tax, worker’s
compensation, transportation infrastructure) to ensure that
Washington State remains the leading location in the world for
aerospace. Led by The Boeing Company, the aerospace
industry within Snohomish County employs as many as 45,000
people, while one out of every three to six Washington State
jobs is supported either directly or indirectly by the aerospace
industry
3. Economic Development
Support “tax-increment financing (TIF)”, a tool used by most
other states to foster economic and community development to
allow cities to proactively implement their comprehensive
plans and to ensure local, regional and national
competitiveness.
4. Driving While License Suspended
Monitor legislation that reduces DWLS 3 to an infraction which
will reduce the large number of DWLS 3 cases in municipal
court.
5. Public Safety Authority
Monitor discussion of a Public Safety Authority, a separate
taxing district dedicated to police services in a city or region
that could be governed by the Mayor and City Council.

intimidation and school criminal gang intimidation and
sentence enhancements for gang-related offenses.
• Support new tools for nuisance abatement and protection
orders related to criminal street gang activity.
8. Vehicle Prowling
Support additional penalties for vehicle prowling.
9. Business License Streamlining
Monitor the discussion around local government business
license streamlining.
10. Additional Revenue Authority for Transit Agencies

legislation, which likely will request additional revenue
authority in order to avoid large cuts in service.
11. Preserve local government’s current ability to purchase health
care insurance.
Oppose any requirement to mandate participation in state-wide
health insurance pools. Advocate for maintaining current
authority for selecting health insurance programs.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 4, 2010
TO: Council Finance Committee
City of Edmonds
FROM: W. Scott Snyder, Office of the City Attorney
RE: City Attorney Budget -- Unbudgeted Costs
The purpose of this memo is to provide year to date estimates regarding legal matters which were
unbudgeted in 2010. As the Council is aware, while the general City Attorney budget provides
for claim review, a certain amount of nuisance lawsuits and one or two Land Use Petition Act
reviews annually, your legal budget does not include a contingency for larger litigation matters.
During the course of the year, I report to the City Council and receive your approval for these
defense or other legal expenditures. This memo reviews matters which were not budgeted but
which require appropriations or transfers. These matters have been reviewed by the City Council
in executive session or, as in the case of the TBD, involve a separately funded entity.
TBD
As you are aware, the TBD is a separate entity. While I bill the City for services to the TBD, the
legal charges, which by year end will total approximately $6,000 should be transferred to the
City Attorney budget from TBD revenue or billed to the TBD by the City.
LABOR NEGOTIATIONS
The Council did not budget for labor negotiations in 2010, and the current budget does not
appear to provide for labor costs for 2011. As you may remember, my estimates, provided to the
City Council in executive session, were for negotiation costs for 2010 of $35,000 to $50,000
depending upon the approach which the City Council wished to utilize in negotiation. Because
the City Council has authorized a roll-over contract approach for 2010, costs for this year are
estimated to run approximately $10,000 to $10,500 for the three units. That estimate breaks
down to approximately $3,750 for Teamsters, $2,000 for Police, $3,500 for SEIU and $1,000 for
Police Support and general City Council discussions.

{WSS833300.DOC;1\00006.900000\ }
If these contracts are rolled over, the City Council should anticipate budgeting the $35,000 to
$50,000 costs for full negotiations in 2011.
LITIGATION
The following matters have been discussed with Council in executive session and specific
strategies approved:
1. Locke v. Edmonds. In accordance with City Council direction, the claims against Mr.
Locke have been dismissed and staff and I are attempting to work out an “on the ground”
solution to his driveway/drainage problems. Year end costs are estimated to be $5,000 total.
2. Meiers v. Edmonds. This slope failure case has been noted for trial. Costs to year end
are estimated to $8,000. This matter is being defended in conjunction with WCIA-appointed
counsel, Mark Bucklin. The City incurs legal costs because certain of the claims are not
covered.
3. Breske -- Claims and Licensing Complaint.
3.1 Claims and Litigation. Approximately $14,000 has been incurred year to date on
this appeal to the Court of Appeals following a LUPA decision in the City’s favor. Year end
costs in this category are estimated to $18,000.
3.2 Licensing Complaint. In addition, the Breskes filed licensing complaints against
current and former City employees. The City Council authorized the employees’ defense under
the City’s indemnity ordinance. Costs to date are approximately $9,500 with an additional $500
estimated to year end for a total of $10,000.
4. LUPA Actions. Two LUPA matters are currently before the Snohomish County Superior
Court. Hathaway v. Edmonds relates to a code enforcement action regarding steep slope tree
removal. Costs year end are estimated to be $19,000. Drake v. Edmonds is a straight forward
neighbor appeal of an accessory dwelling unit approval. Year end costs are estimated to be
$9,000. This level of LUPA defense is a normally incurred cost within your budget and is noted
here only for your information.
5. Construction Claims. TE Briggs’ claims have been discussed extensively with City
Council in executive session. Costs year to date are approximately $16,000 and the City Council
has approved $10,000 in costs for mediation. The attorney costs to year end are estimated to be
$26,000. The 175th Walkway claim has incurred legal costs year to date of approximately
$11,000 with $3,000 estimated to year end, for a total of $14,000. These totals yield unbudgeted
litigation costs at $40,000 for construction claims.

6. Sweet Pea Tree. The Council authorized investigation, tree appraisal and initial litigation
costs in this matter. Approximately $3,400 has been expended through October 31. The City
Council is evaluating how and whether to pursue this claim. Year end costs are estimated to be
$3,400 plus any additional costs approved by City Council.
7. Reidy / Thuesen. These matters have been discussed extensively in executive session
with City Council approval of a litigation strategy involving outside counsel attempting to
mediate the claims of the two parties. As you will remember, a claim and lawsuit was filed by
Mr. Reidy as well as a claim and lawsuit by Mr. Thuesen against the City. In addition, code
enforcement actions and monitoring of the Thuesen development application has resulted in legal
costs. The claims and litigation by Mr. Reidy involve year to date costs of $2,064. The Thuesen
development review and code enforcement action regarding Mr. Reidy arising out of the
Thuesen development application total $19,900. As the City Council is aware, these costs were
incurred in the first quarter of the year. Given estimated costs of approximately $75,000 to
litigate the various lawsuits, the City Council authorized retention of Grant Weed as conflict
counsel to attempt to craft a settlement agreement and solution between the Reidys and
Thuesens. Mr. Weed was successful. His costs of $40,564 and costs of a waste container to
remove construction debris ($1,405) bring the estimated total to year end, including $2,000 for
continued monitoring of the settlement to $65,000.
8. Karlsten. This flooding claim has been reviewed on several occasions with the City
Council in executive session. Pursuant to approved legal strategy, $4,517.30 has been incurred
year to date and $6,000 is estimated for year end costs.
While your legal budget will cover some of these costs, Council approval of unbudgeted costs
include:
1. TBD: $ 6,000
2. Labor: $ 10,250
3. Litigation: $128,000 [does not include LUPA defense costs for Hathaway and
Drake].
for a total of unbudgeted litigation and labor negotiation costs of approximately $144,250.

In past years, the merchant bankcard fees have been included in the City's bank analysis calculation. The
analysis calculation takes into consideration the City's earning credit (interest) and all the fees associated
with our bank account. The analysis calculation includes fees such as NSF fees, deposits, positive pay
items, ACH credits, transit items, just to name a few. Also included are Merchant Bankcard Fees which are
the fees the City is charged each time we accept a credit card as payment. Since the earnings credit is so
low and the City is taking more and more credit cards, the City is recognizing a negative interest earnings
amount. In order to address this, we reviewed and reversed all the merchant bankcard fees for FY 2010 as
of September. We will then expense the fees to the appropriate department. For example, any recreation
charges will be charged against parks, utility payments against the utility fund and court charges to the
court. One department not listed below is Development Services, they have enough expenditure excess
authority (due to the director vacancy) to absorb the additional expense of approximately $6000.

All revenue receipts for the utility funds are receipted into the 411 utility operations fund. An interfund
transfer appropriation is needed to move excess funds from the utility operations fund (411) to the utility
construction fund (412). In the last budget amendment there was $100,000 transfer for both the storm utility
and the water utility for a total of $200,000. When requesting that amount I had preliminary numbers for the
year and did not want to transfer a large amount until I had the 2010 estimate and 2011 budget numbers
from the 411 storm utility manager and the 411 water manager. During the budget process it was
determined based on the dollars remaining in the two utilities that the below amounts could be transferred
from the 411 fund to the 412 fund. These dollar amounts are included in the 2010 year-end estimate
columns for both funds in your budget books.

Subject Title
Discussion regarding pay off of City Hall bonds.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Councilmember Petso and the Mayor met privately and discussed this item. The Mayor expressed no
opposition to the proposal.
Previous Council Action
The Finance Committee reviewed this item at the October 12, 2010 meeting.
Attachment 1: October 12, 2010 Finance Committee Meeting Minutes
Narrative
At present, expenditures from the 126 fund (REET) exceed expected revenues, and the 126 fund is
expected to shortly require a subsidy from the general fund. That situation can be reversed by paying off
the Debt Service on City Hall, which represents an expense of over $400,000 per year. Note: The 126
fund is the REET fund with the greatest flexibility in uses of REET revenue. For example, the 126 fund
can be used for park acquisitions, while the 125 fund cannot.
According to the answers to budget questions of 10/26, attached, the bond may be currently paid off
using 2010 budgeted money from the 126 fund ($417,264), plus the $1,300,000 million in the public
safety reserve fund, plus approximately 19,000 from 126 ending cash.
The proposal would restore the 126 fund to solvency, save over $100,000 in future interest cost, and meet
the council’s desire to spend the one-time revenue from the sale of the fire department on a one-time
expense.

The proposal would cost in excess of 1.7 million with just over $400,000 already allocated for 2010
toward this purpose. The remaining cost would be covered almost entirely by FD #1 proceeds.

Councilmember Buckshnis called the meeting to order at 5:57 PM.
A. Discussion of Mayor discretionary pay increases for vacant position
Councilmember Petso presented her concerns with the current authority of the
Administration in regards to this matter. Debi Humann discussed the history and the
supporting ordinance (Ordinance 3680), which gives the Mayor this discretion. The
committee will work with Ms. Humann and the city attorney to revise current law in this
matter to make the authority more specific and limiting.
B. Discussion and review of debt service in Funds 125 and 126
Councilmember Petso presented her suggestions for reducing the debt service associated
with Fund 126. Her suggestions included paying off bonds earlier, moving debt to Fund
125, or refunding bonds to attain a lower interest rate. Mr. McIntosh provided the history
of the debt currently paid by Fund 126. Mr. Hines indicated that the City has had
discussion with the City’s bond council and that analysis would be forthcoming as
requested by Councilmember Bernheim. The committee will present the item before full
Council for discussion.
C. Edmonds Chamber of Commerce request for funding
Mr. Clyborne and Ms. Vance presented the $5,000 funding request to the committee. Mr.
Clyborne indicated that this would be a one-time request; however, the Chamber would
be open to an ongoing stipend from the City as well. Mr. Clyborne and Ms. Vance
responded to questions from the Committee as well. The Committee will take the issue
before full Council for discussion.

Subject: 125/126 finance committee item
Mike
Can you have appropriate staff take this over now that there appears to be significant council
interest? (finance, legal, whoever).
1) Transfer Anderson Center payment to 125.
For this, Council would need confirmation that the switch is legal (or an explanation of why we
can spend 125 money on the Meadowdale Clubhouse but not on the Anderson Center).
Council would need to see how the switch effects the 125/126 funds and the 2011 budget.
Council would need to know how to make the change -- is a motion sufficient?
Council would need to know the Mayor/staff recommendation and why?
• Will need to consult with Foster Pepper our bond attorney regarding the above
questions.
• Will need to look at restrictions of use for funds
Brian McIntosh response to first part of Question #1)
In talking with the City Attorney we understand from the RCW that recreational facilities are
not a permitted use for REET 2 (City of Edmonds Fund 125). Recreational facilities are
specifically listed as a permitted use for REET 1 (City of Edmonds Fund 126) which is from
where payments are currently being paid.
In regard to using REET 2/Fund 125 funds for Meadowdale Clubhouse improvements, the
Clubhouse sits within a 1.3 acre park and the funds spent here have been and are for park
amenities as listed in the Capital Improvement Project list - trail system, playground
replacement, landscaping, parking/playground fencing. Certainly the improvements benefit
the Clubhouse activities as the preschoolers and other facility users use the park amenities.
This is the same way Anderson Center users take advantage of the park surrounding that
community center.
2) Pay off City Hall bonds
Packet Page 133 of 145
For this Council would need to know how much is needed, including any amount already
budgeted in 2010 and any amount already in reserve for the bond. It would also be nice to know
the interest rate on this bond.
And, as above, council would need the effect on the funds, budget, how to make the change, and
a recommendation from Mayor/staff on the idea.

Discussion regarding paying Anderson Center bond from Fund 125 (REET).
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Councilmember Petso and the Mayor met privately and discussed this item. The Mayor expressed no
opposition to the proposal.
Previous Council Action
The Finance Committee reviewed this item at the October 12, 2010 meeting.
(See Attachment 1 in agenda item #7 of this agenda.)
Narrative
Presently, the Anderson Center Debt Service is paid from the 126 fund. That fund has a greater flexibility
in uses of REET revenue than the 125 fund. For example, the 126 fund can be used for park acquisitions,
while the 125 fund cannot. As a result, when an expenditure is eligible to be paid by either fund, it is
better policy to pay the expenditure from the 125 fund.
The expenditure is similar to our recent expenditures from the 125 fund for work on Yost Pool and the
Meadowdale Clubhouse, and thus would appear to be a permitted use of fund 125 revenue.
(See Attachment 2 in agenda item #7 of this agenda.)

Fiscal Impact:
There is no cost to the City from this proposal. In fact, because expenditures in the 126 fund already
exceed expected revenues for that fund, the proposal assists in avoiding the projected general fund
subsidy of the 126 fund (See Attachment 1 in agenda item #8 of this agenda.)

Discussion and recommendation to fund Edmonds Chamber of Commerce Foundation
request for funding for 2010 4th of July festivities.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Previous Council Action
In May 2010, the Council received a letter from the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce Foundation
requesting $5,000 to help defray the costs of the 4th of July celebration put on by the Chamber.
On June 1, 2010, Mr. Ron Clyborne, 4th of July Committee Chairman and Vice President of the
Chamber, spoke during the Community Service Announcements informing the public of the upcoming
July 4th event and again asked the City to help by donating $5,000 for this event.
This item was brought before the 9/14/2010 Finance Committee. During that meeting, Committee
members briefly discussed the request. The Committee proposed to invite the Chamber of Commerce to
make a presentation to the Committee regarding the funding request.
During the October 12, 2010 Finance Committee Meeting, the Chamber made a presentation to the
Committee regarding this request.
Attach 1: Letter dated May 21, 2010 from Chamber.
Attach 2: June 1, 2010 Council Minutes.
Attach 3: Edmonds Chamber of Commerce Profit and Loss Statement
Attach 4: October 12, 2010 Finance Committee Minutes
Narrative
On October 12, 2010 the Chamber of Commerce provided a profit and loss statement for their 2010 4th
of July Festivities. The final loss figure was roughly $10,000. The Chamber has requested $5,000 from
the City of Edmonds to help fund that deficit.
I would respectfully request that the Council fund $5,000 from the Council Contingency Fund to help
defray the costs of the 2010 4th of July Festivities put on by the Chamber.
As of 10/31/2010, the total fund balance in the Council Contingency Fund is $73,778.72.

The Greater Edmonds Chamber of Commerce has been organizing events since 1907 and recently formed
the Edmonds Chamber Foundation, a 501(c)(3), to allow the public to make tax deductable donations.
One of the most worthy events the Chamber organizes each year is the 4th of July parade and fireworks,
daylong festivities that build memories for thousands. He cited last year’s Children’s Parade that had over
2,000 participants and 8,000 spectators who watched the 2-hour main parade. He anticipated increased
participation and spectators this year due to Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace’s cancelling their 4th of
July celebrations. Musical entertainment and a fireworks display complete the daylong event.
Mr. Clyborne explained the cost of the entire event is substantial and in the past have been covered by
sponsorships and donations by the business community and the public. Despite the challenge of raising
the necessary funds every year, the Chamber believes this event is critical to the community feeling and
civic pride woven into the fabric of Edmonds. He urged the public to consider a donation to the Edmonds
Chamber Foundation to help sponsor the 4th of July events.
Mr. Clyborne provided the schedule of 4th of July events:
Fun Run 11:00 a.m.
Children’s Parade 12:30 p.m.
Main Parade 1:00 p.m.
Evening Entertainment 7:30 p.m.
Fireworks 10:00 p.m.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked where the public could make donations. Mr. Clyborne provided
the Chamber’s phone number, 425-670-1496, and the Chamber’s website: EdmondsWA.com.
Mayor Haakenson commented few people realize how much effort and money the Chamber puts into the
4th of July events. He expressed his thanks to Mr. Clyborne and the Chamber for hosting the events every
year. He relayed his conversations with Executive Director Jan Vance who indicated the Chamber was on
the verge of not having this event in the future. He urged the public to contribute if they wanted
Edmonds’ 4th of July events to continue.
Councilmember Buckshnis anticipated the ability for the public to make tax deductible donations to the
Chamber Foundation would encourage donations.
4. MIKE DOUBLEDAY - WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATIVE SESSION RECAP.
Legislative Lobbyist Mike Doubleday referred to the Final 2010 State Legislative Report in the Council
packet. He provided the following highlights of the 2010 State Legislative Session:
• $250,000 was provided in the supplemental transportation budget for the Shell Valley Emergency
Road Access project. He recognized Representatives Marko Liias and Judy Clibborn for their
assistance with that funding. He recommended the City spend those funds by the end of the
biennium, June 2011.
• A local government fiscal flexibility bill was passed that will allow Edmonds to:
o Levy a 0.1% public safety sales tax increase with voter approval; 1/3 of the funds must be
used for criminal justice purposes,
o Eliminates the non-supplant language for the existing 0.1% criminal justice sales tax, and
o Permits the City to continue to collect the tax on brokered natural gas
• The state revenue package through application of a sales tax on bottled water, candy and gum will
provide more funds to cities. Estimates are this source will generate $28 million to cities and
counties statewide. The tax on bottled water will sunset in three years; there is no sunset date on
the sales tax on candy and gum.

committee will work with Ms. Humann and the city attorney to revise current law in this
matter to make the authority more specific and limiting.
B. Discussion and review of debt service in Funds 125 and 126
Councilmember Petso presented her suggestions for reducing the debt service associated

125, or refunding bonds to attain a lower interest rate. Mr. McIntosh provided the history
of the debt currently paid by Fund 126. Mr. Hines indicated that the City has had
discussion with the City’s bond council and that analysis would be forthcoming as
requested by Councilmember Bernheim. The committee will present the item before full

C. Edmonds Chamber of Commerce request for funding
Mr. Clyborne and Ms. Vance presented the $5,000 funding request to the committee. Mr.

be open to an ongoing stipend from the City as well. Mr. Clyborne and Ms. Vance
responded to questions from the Committee as well. The Committee will take the issue
before full Council for discussion.
