PRESENTATION BY DJ MICHELL, II, ASSISTANT TO THE CHAIRMAN OF BURLINGTON NORTHERN ON PROPOSED
COMMUTER RAIL SYSTEM
j��tL��Mr. Michell narrated a slide presentation concerning Burlington Northern's proposal to provide
�+� commuter rail service between Tacoma and Everett.
Mr. Michell said approximately four months ago, Community Transit asked Burlington Northern to
make a presentation regarding the possibility of commuter rail service between Everett and down-
town Seattle. Mr. Michell said Burlington obliged .and put together a Capital Improvement Program,
Operating Budget, and Service Plan and presented it to Community Transit. Since that presenta-
tion, Mr. Michell said other people have asked Burlington. Northern for the same presentation, and
with Community Transit's permission, Burlington Northern has done so.
Mr. Michell's presentation indicated that a successful commuter rail could be implemented between
Tacoma and Everett within 18 - 24 months, which would include Edmonds as a rail stop. Mr. Michell
said the capital costs for the service north would be less than $100 million dollars or approxi-
mately $3 million dollars a mile. Mr. Michell said this number may be a little high, as it con-
tains contingencies such as the possibilities of adding grade separations, etc. Mr. Michell said
the operating cost would be approximately $8 million per year or 5t per seat mile. Mr. Michell
said an estimated travel time from Seattle to Edmonds would be 28 minutes.
Mr. Michell said he beligve5 commuter rail would htel? alleviate some of the transportation prob-
lems faced by Puget Sound,owever, say a is no uggesting the commuter rail is a substitute
for alleviating all of the transportation congestion problems.
Councilmember Palmer asked Mr. Michell how much area he anticipated being required for Park and
Ride and bus connectors in the case where a station would be located in Edmonds. Mr. Michell said
the existing station has approximately 300 parking stalls, which Mr. Michell feels is a good
amount to start with. Councilmember Palmer said the Edmonds City Council has been very united in
their desire to see an intermodal facility built at the UnoCal site, and asked Mr. Michell if he
has had an opportunity to visit that site and look at that potential. Mr. Michell said he has
visited the UnoCal site and said with proper planning and design, a wonderful long term
intermodal facility could be located there including rail, bus, parking, and ferry. Mr. Michell
said from his perspective, he doesn't see why that type of intermodal facility could not be locat-
ed at the UnoCal site. Councilmember Palmer said UnoCal has committed to the City that they will
clean the site, and BN Environmental Services is involved in environmental remediation, and asked
Mr. Michell if there is a potential that the timetable could be moved up through a cooperative
effort with that division, and Mr. Michell replied affirmatively.
With regards to the downtown site, Councilmember Earling asked Mr. Michell if he has had a chance
to look at the ingress and egress problems that currently exist and the problems that would grow
with a commuter rail being added to the current congestion problems. Mr. Michell said those con-
cerns could be addressed by working with the Highway Department and the City's street and engi-
neering departments. Mr. Michell said the capital costs he mentioned earlier include monies for
installation of whatever grade crossing is required, either for pedestrian or automobile. Council -
member Earling asked Mr. Michell what he projected in terms of ridership numbers five years from
startup, and Mr. Michell projected 4,000 to 5,000 per day.
Councilmember Earling said he hoped Mr. Michell would portray to elected officials at the State
level that the City of Edmonds is serious about moving all transportation facilities to the
UnoCal site. Mr. Michell agreed with Councilmember Earling in that he believes the UnoCal site
would make a good intermodal site and said Burlington Northern would help in every way possible
to get the message out.
Councilmember Petruzzi said he wanted to make sure that people know that the proposed commuter
rail system is not a total answer to the congestions problems. Councilmember Petruzzi said this
will be an aid during a short term period while a light rail system is being designed which would
take many years. Mr. Michell agreed with Councilmember Petruzzi. Councilmember Petruzzi asked Mr.
Michell what the optimum ridership could potentially be under optimum conditions without being
disruptive to the communities, and asked if 20,000 in ridership numbers could be achieved under
this scenario, and Mr. Michell said yes.
Councilmember Kasper said since 1986, the City has been concerned with their at -grade crossings.
Councilmember Kasper said he doesn't know of anyplace in the United States where there is a situa-
tion such as the one Edmonds has with the ferry, railroad and major highway are all in one area
with an at -grade crossing. Councilmember Kasper said the City believes the only solution is an
overhead or underhead pass for vehicles. Councilmember Kasper asked Mr. Michell if he envisioned
double tracking through the City, and Mr. Michell said no. Councilmember Kasper said the City has
approximately 30 trains per day plus Amtrack at present and referenced the additional trails the
proposed commuter rail system would bring. Councilmember Kasper said the present site does not
allow for grade separation, and that is why the ferry dock has to be moved.
At 7:58 p.m., Councilmember Hall arrived at the Council Meeting.
Mayor Hall said she was glad Burlington Northern is now part of the transportation solving pro-
cess. Mayor Hall said she would like Mr. Michell to think of the UnoCal site as a a future
intermodal facility. Mayor Hall said it is hard to understand how a major transportation system
could be up and running in various cities when such events as the Olympics take place in a partic-
ular city, and why it takes years for a much needed transportation system to take place in other
cities without such an event.
Councilmember Dwyer thanked Mr. Michell for his presentation and said he appreciated his coming
to the City to address this issue. Councilmember Dwyer said it strikes him, primarily as a sur-
prise, that there aren't many reasons why a commuter rail service would not work. Councilmember
Dwyer said there is much similarity in what the City desires and what Burlington Northern de-
sires. Councilmember Dwyer said he is interested to find out what comes next.
Mayor Hall and Councilmembers thanked Mr. Michell for his presentation.
At 8:01 p.m., the Mayor and Council recessed for three minutes, and reconvened in Council Cham-
bers at 8:04 p.m.

r`, AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN EDMONDS ARTS FESTIVAL CONTRACT FOR 1993 (Item (H) on the Consent
sk jc- Agenda
Councilmember Petruzzi said he would like the Arts Festival Association to consider allowing the
Edmonds Visitors Bureau to have a small unobtrusive booth at the Arts Festival so that they may
promote Edmonds via promotional brochures. Councilmember Dwyer and Councilmember Palmer agreed
and said this is a small request.
�S
Ardis Santwire, 350 Sunset Avenue, Arts Festival Association President, said she would bring up
this request to the Board, however, stated she was not comfortable in allowing this, as the Arts
Festival does not allow other special interest groups to have booths at the festival.
Councilmember Petruzzi, Councilmember Dwyer, and Councilmember Palmer said the City is not a
special interest group, and feels they are not asking much by having the City being promoted in
the way suggested by Councilmember Petruzzi. Ms. Santwire said she would discuss this with the
Board.
Councilmember Kasper said the Arts Festival Association has become a very successful organiza-
tion, and said the procedures for such a proposed Visitors Bureau Booth has to be completely
layed out before the Association should consider it. Councilmember Hall said people attending the
festival have always been able to receive brochures outlining city activities at the information
booth.

REPORT ON BIDS OPENED FEBRUARY 5, 1993 FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS FUEL TANK REMOVAL PROJECT AND AWARD
OF CONTRACT TO TRECON, INC. 17,744.80, INC. W.S.S.T.
P`u� Councilmember Nordquist asked Noel Miller, Public Works Superintendent, if he approached the
small works roster to get this work done. Mr. Miller said this was done through Engineering and
it is his understanding that this is a specialized service. Councilmember Nordquist asked the
City Attorney if this is a public works item, and if so, shouldn't the small works roster be ap-
proached first. Scott Snyder, City Attorney, said there is an option, which would not require the
City to utilize the small works roster. Councilmember Nordquist said this item is over $5,000,
and does not remember.an authorization to bid coming before the City Council.
City Clerk Rhonda March said she does not have a date this came before the Council for bid author-
ization, but she said she was sure it did in the past. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO PLACE THIS ON THE FEBRUARY 23, 1993 AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED.
HEARING ON APPEAL OF HEARING EXAM'INER'S DECISION ON A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR GRADING AT 1110
Council President Earling said he would not be participating in the hearing, as the the appli-
cant, Mark McNaughten, holds a Real Estate Licence with his company. Council President Earling
left Council Chambers for the duration of the hearing.
City Attorney Scott Snyder asked if any members of the audiences had an objection of participa-
tion of any Councilmembers.
Bill McCormick, 502 Olympic Avenue, challenged the participation of Councilmember Hall. Mr.
McCormick referenced alleged negative statements made by Councilmember Hall during his campaign
election concerning the issue.
Councilmember Hall denied the alleged statements.
City Attorney Scott Snyder said issues expressed during a course of a campaign are exempt from
the appearance of fairness documents standard, however, if a Councilmember already has an opinion
formed, that would constitute a conflict which cannot be waived. Councilmember Hall said he does
not have any pre-existing opinions on the subject.
Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, challenged the participation of Councilmember Hall for the same
reasons stated by Mr. McCormick. City Attorney Scott Snyder asked Mr. Hertrich if he has heard
any similar statements by Councilmember Hall since the campaign. Mr. Hertrich said he has not
spoken with Mr. Hall since then.
Mr. Snyder recommended proceeding with the hearing.
Staff Report and Recommendation
Jeff Wilson, Current Planning Supervisor, said the appellant felt that their specific requests
were not addressed in the Staff's report and recent discussions with the appellant indicate that
he would be willing to withdrawal the appeal if the efforts agreed to at the 12/4/92 hearing are
in writing by the time the appeal is to be heard by the City Council. Mr. Wilson said this appeal
stems from the applicant's request for a Conditional Use Permit for Grading to allow site grading
of approximately 1,200 cubic yards for the construction of a new residence. Due to the amount of
material to be graded by the applicant, the project was also subject to review under the State
Environmental Policy Act. The City completed a thorough analysis of the applicant's expanded
environmental checklist and project, and issued a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance. The
mitigation measures required were specifically intended to address concerns of the adjacent prop-
erty owners.
Mr. Wilson said subsequent to the appellant's letter of appeal, the applicant provided a letter
to the City which outlined his attempt to address the concerns raised in the letter of appeal. It
is staff's conclusion that the proposal offered by the applicant in response to the letter of
appeal is worthy of consideration. The proposal put forth by the applicant provides clarification
of the conditions required by the Hearing Examiner, and does not raise new issues.

Page 4 February 16, 1993
In conclusion, Mr. Wilson said the appellant's do not raise any additional issues which were not
thoroughly evaluated and conditioned/mitigated by either the Hearing Examiner, or by the Mitigat-
ed Environmental Determination. Mr. Wilson recommended the Council uphold the decision of the
Hearing Examiner, and deny the' appeal. Furthermore, the Council should consider incorporating the
applicant's clarification of the Hearing Examiner's conditions to address the concerns raised by
the appellants, in the Council's motion to deny the appeal.
It was noted that the Council's role in this hearing is speaking to the.cumulative effects of the
entire grading.
Testimony of the Applicant
Mark McNaughten, applicant, gave a brief history of Lot 1 at Harbor Hills. Mr. McNaughten said a
geotechnical expert, as well a a vibrations specialist, both ascertained that Lot 1 is a standard
lot with no slide conditions. Mr. McNaughten said both of these experts are present if the Coun-
cil had any questions. Mr. McNaughten said he has been very sensitive to the neighbors and has
followed all of the City's procedures, and requirements on every basis through the entire process.
Testimony of the Appellant
Bill McCormick, appellant, said there are three items he wants included in the applicant's propos-
al: 1)- Speed be limited as to cause no vibrations to the adjacent structures; 2) Ingress/Egress
be limited to the dry periods of the year, and; 3) Implement a "stop construction" clause so if
the construction starts doing damage to the adjacent structures, the construction must end until
it is remedied.
Public Testimony
Holly Humula, 516 Olympic Drive, said she requests that the issue of speed control be addressed.
Ms. Humula read from a letter which quoted a taped record of an earlier hearing. Ms. Humula said
Jeff Wilson, Current Planning Supervisor, is the one she is quoting who stated he would recommend
a speed control be put in place, as well as addressing other items relative to the applicant's
proposal.
Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive., said the appellant is simply asking that the City have the
ability to respond in the case where the construction begins to damage the adjacent structures.
Mr. Hertrich suggested the City apply this request to the balance of the lots in the future, so
that the process does not have to be repeated in the future.
With no other member of the audience wishing to speak on this issue, Mayor Hall closed the audi-
ence portion of the hearing.
Continued testimony of the Applicant
Mark McNaughten, applicant, said his intent in trying to permit Lot 1 was to ao it in a caring
manner following the City Code. Mr. McNaughten introduced Sig Schwartz, 15317 62nd P1. W.,
Bothell. City Attorney Scott .Snyder said this would be an appropriate time for the vibration
specialist to suggest a speed limit.
Mr. Schwartz addressed the issue of a speed limit and said that testing would have to be done to
ascertain at what point does damage begin to occur.
Continued testimony of the Appellant
Mr. McCormick addressed the issue of a 10 mile an hour speed limit, and, requested that the three
provisions he earlier requested be included in the applicant's proposal.
Continues testimony of the Applicant
Mr. McNaughten said he had no problem with imposing a 10 mile an hour speed limit.
City Attorney Scott Snyder said the proposal does contain adequate provisions for the three con-
cerns raised by the appellant.
Council discussion and deliberation
Councilmember Palmer said the staff and Hearing Examiner did a good job of analyzing the issues
and the needs. Councilmember Palmer said the applicant has now voluntarily included a stipulation
of a 10 mile an hour speed limit. Councilmember Palmer said the other two issues brought up the
appellant are adequately addressed by the applicant.

DECISION AND DENY THE APPEAL AND THAT THE CITY INCORPORATE THE APPLICANT'S LETTER OF CLARIFICA-

AUTHORIZATION TO FUND VACANT MUNICIPAL COURT CLERK POSITION
Sherrie Gursley, Court Administrator, said due to a recent vacancy in the Court, she recommends
k that the position be authorized for replacement effective June 1, 1993. Ms. Gursley said the
clerical position is essential in collection of court -revenues and support other staff. As has
t been addressed before, the statistics show the need to keep staff at its current level to provide
`Q adequate service to the public.
Councilmember Earling returned to Council Chambers.
Council discussion and deliberation
Councilmember Palmer said he is concerned that municipal filing totals are the third lowest total
of the last seven years, and questioned whether the volume calls for the position to be funded.
Ms. Gursley said even though the filings are down, there is still a significant work load from
years past.
Councilmember Kasper said the City has not seen all the results of the clerk assigned to collec-
tions. Ms. Gursley said this is why she it is recommended that the position not be funded until
June, so that the revenues could be reviewed.
Councilmembers decided to further discuss this after first quarter revenues are received.
Mayor Hall noted the City and the School District are cooperating in a possible intern program in
which case the City could utilize high school students for various work.
Due to the lateness of the hour, the City Council decided to discuss the Mayor/Council portion of
the agenda prior to the Executive Session.
MAYOR
Mayor Hall referenced a liquor license application from Jay's Westgate Mini -Mart, in which Chief
Prinz recommends approval. No objections were noted by Councilmembers.
Mayor Hall referenced an upcoming Cable TV Conference in SanFrancisco. As Councilmembers thought
(1 w� it would be beneficial to have someone attend, COUNCILMEMBER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL-
` MEMBER PETRUZZI, TO AUTHORIZE UP TO $500 FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND SO THAT COMMUNITY
'f SERVICES DIRECTOR PAUL MAR CAN ATTEND THE CONFERENCE. MOTION*CARRIED.
It was noted that the City Attorney would accompany Mr. Mar at his own expense.
Mayor Hall read a letter into the record from the Port concerning their opposition to the intro-
duction of a bill which would take away Cities' ability to have a municipal court.
COUNCIL
°w` w Council President Earling discussed the preliminary Council Retreat Agenda, and directed Council
to call the Council Assistant if they had any changes to it.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO EXCUSE COUNCILMEMBER
KASPER'S ABSENCE ON FEBRUARY 2, 1993 AND FEBRUARY 9, 1993. MOTION CARRIED.
K15 2 Councilmember Petruzzi referenced a recent article in the newspaper where his statements were
incorrectly portrayed. Councilmember Petruzzi said the article was in reference to the Apogee
Report which stated "Mr. Petruzzi said not enough jobs would be created if the dock was moved to
the UnoCal site". Mr. Petruzzi said he tried to portrayto the reporter that th-e Apogee report
did not accurately display the fullest possibility of new jobs that could be created by moving
the ferry dock to the UnoCal site. It is Councilmember Petruzzi's contention that the report was
far too conservative and he believes the report only estimated 24 new jobs if a hotel/convention
center were built there. Mr. Petruzzi said he supports the move of the ferry dock to the UnoCal
site very firmly.

Councilmember Nordquist said he will be in Chicago in the near future and after talking with Mr.
Michell of Burlington Northern, he will set up a time to take a ride on the Burlington Northern
commuter rail. Councilmember Nordquist said Mr. Michell's presentation was a good one.
(f)founci I member Palmer referenced the City of Edmonds Economic Report, and asked when the Contingen-
V1 cy Plan, mentioned in the report, will be available for Council review. Mr. Housler said he is in
the stages of finalizing it with the Mayor and should be available the week of February 22nd.
Councilmember Palmer said a recent newspaper article stated that the Anderson property might be
tentatively named "Anderson Marine Park". Councilmember Palmer clarified that the City has not
many any decisions as to the name.
Councilmember Palmer referenced a recent letter from the County Auditor where it is stated that
Uo(\C, certain courtesy items the City now receives, will no longer be available on a courtesy basis.
Councilmember Palmer requested that the City receive information from the Auditor's office as to
what the City is entitled to for the money paid to the Auditor by the City, and which items the
City will receive by courtesy.
, Councilmember Palmer said he noticed that the Executive Office is undergoing construction, and
Ckr,C,4 requested the Council receive information as to where the construction/manpower was' budgeted for.
� �Q�rvS Councilmember Hall said he recently attended a school district meeting, and noted that Paul Mar
and Rob Chave were also in attendance.
Councilmember Hall said the Edmonds Rotary Club is interested in establishing a sister -city rela-
tionship, perhaps with Hekinan.
