REPORT ON FINAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR THE 1993 SLURRY SEAL PROGRAM AND ACCEPTANCE OF PROJECT Councilmember Palmer asked if the Community Services Committee was alerted to the fact that the slurry seal program was suspended. Bob Alberts, City Engineer, replied negatively. Mr. Alberts said because of the weather, the program was ubnable to be completed. Mr. Alberts said it was hoped that the program could have been completed, but the weather did not cooperate. COUNCILMEM- BER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO APPROVE ITEM (F). MOTION CARRIED 5 PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 17.30, FENCES AND HEDGES �.0 (from hearing on September 21, 1993 Item H on the Consent genda. e Councilmember Kasper pulled this item so he could vote no.

Mr. Alberts said it was not broken down. Councilmember Petruzzi suggested a clearer explana- tion appear on the Agenda Memo so items such as these can be approved without any questions. COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO APPROVE ITEM (K) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. Under discussion, Councilmember Nordquist asked why it is a two year contract as opposed to a one year contract. Mr. Alberts said after discussions with the City Attorney, a two year time period seemed preferable to get the work done. Councilmember Nordquist said if it is a two year agree- ment, it is really a $20,000 contract rather than a $10,000 contract. Councilmember Nordquist said it is policy that any agreement over $15,000 goes out to bid. City Attorney Scott Snyder said language in the contract states it is a non-exclusive contract and the city retains the right to go out to other companies for same or other services. Council - member Nordquist asked if staff went through a selection process to make sure the company select- ed was the best possible. Mr. Alberts replied negatively. Mr. Alberts said PTI has been working with the city all through construction of the Treatment Plant, and said they really are a sole source. Councilmember Nordquist said he believes this is a way of getting around the selection process and said staff should clearly outline it is a $20,000 contract, not a $10,000 contract. Councilmember Palmer suggested a re -write of the contract, such that it would be a one year agree- ment with a one year extension at the city's option. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Nordquist voting no. As Councilmember Hall requested discussion on a Consent Agenda Item already approved, COUNCILMEM- BER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, FOR RECONSIDERATION OF ITEM (H) ON THE CON- SENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO MOVE ITEM (H) TO ITEM 9B ON THE REGULAR AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION. MOTION CARRIED. PRESENTATION OF MAYOR'S ANNUAL BOOK AWARD TO DAVID KLEIN, MARYMAE E. KLEIN AND DOUGLAS D. WALSH Jo -Anne Nelson, member of the Arts Commission, gave background information on the Mayor's Book Award. It is an annual event sponsored by the Edmonds Arts Commission. Ms. Nelson said this is done in conjunction with the "Write on the Sound" writers convention. To qualify for the award, the recipients must have an Edmonds address and book must have been published within the last 12 months. Ms. Nelson said the name of the book is entitled "Getting Unscrewed and Staying That Way", which is a book on consumer protection. Mayor Hall congratulated Douglas D. Walsh (not present), and David and Marymae Klein and present- ed them with the Mayor's Book Award. Mr. Klein and Ms. Klein thanked the Mayor for the award. CONSIDERATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT-HAINES DEDICATION EXPENDITURE Councilmember Nordquist said Jim and Herb Haines have offered to give the City a portion of tide- lands. Councilmember Nordquist said Jim Haines at one time was an Edmonds City Council member, as well as a member of the Planning Commission. Councilmember Nordquist said the City Attorney has said it would be best to have an outside agency perform an environmental assessment for the city's protection. It was noted the property is appraised at $21,500 and the preliminary assess- ment is estimated to cost $1,645 and the phase I site assessment is estimated to cost $3,726 (the $1,645 is an element of the $3,726). Councilmember Dwyer said since the most likely use of the property will be park land, asked if EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 2 September 28, 1993 this is an expenditure that would be eligible to be paid out of Fund 125, and if so, is there money back on the 125 Fund after obtaining the Grant for the Anderson Purchase. Mr. Housler re- plied yes to both questions. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, FOR AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED WITH THE PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROPOSAL, PROVIDING FOR FUNDING FROM FROM 125. MOTION CARRIED. � EXECUTIVE SESSION ON LABOR NEGOTIATIONS j4eL. �SSIU`~/The Mayor and Council recessed to an Executive Session to discuss Labor Negotiations at 7:35 p.m, / and reconvened in Council Chambers at 8:12 p.m. As Councilmember Nordquist had to leave for an emergency, he did not attend the Executive Session and returned to Council Chambers at 8:16 p.m. PRESENTATION BY "MAKERS" ON DRAFT DOWNTOWN/WATERFRONT PLAN %.Pw Rob Chave, Planning Manager, reported "MAKERS" has completed an initial draft of the plan. The k draft plan includes an executive summary and sections on existing conditions, planning process v(y0U and goals, general urban design concept, and a more detailed discussion of individual design 11 elements. The document has been prepared as a draft for public review. Mr. Chave reported the 11J toAU` Plan is not a finished product at this point in time, but is being presented to the Council to confirm that the concepts and recommendations are aimed in the right direction. The process is to gain Council acceptance of the draft, and then to use the draft as a tool to gather public input in workshop meetings and hearings. Mr. Chave noted the appendix containing an economic analysis performed by Apogee Research, has not yet been integrated. Mr. Chave said this will be done after the main concepts of the report have been reviewed. Mr. Chave said there are also some gaps in some of the plan discussion related to transportation, which will be added at the same time the Apogee information is added. John Owens of MAKERS, reviewed with the Mayor and Council, the Draft Edmonds Downtown/Waterfront Plan. Mr. Owens illustrated aspects of the draft plan via overhead transparencies. Councilmember Petruzzi complimented Mr. Owens on the document and said it was excellent work. Councilmember Petruzzi said the document contains reference to buildings being constructed above the city's height limit. Councilmember Petruzzi said he would like to see reference to this re- moved, as it is the consensus of the Council not to consider heights above what is permitted in the city's Code. Mr. Owens said the issue of structures above Code is not an integral part of the Draft Plan and reference to this can be removed without any difficulty. Mr. Owens said part of his "charge" as he understood it was to look at the issue of building structures above code. Councilmember Dwyer said the Council never asked MAKERS to look at the issue of constructing buildings above what is allowed in code. Councilmember Kasper said the Council has had many discussions over cooridor studies, but have never had one performed. Councilmember Kasper said "MAKERS". Councilmember Dwyer said he is not aware of any Council discussions on Corridor Studies. Councilmember Kasper said a Corridor Study was included in a past budget. Councilmember Dwyer disagreed and said it was never a budgeted item. Councilmember Palmer said there are numerous places throughout the document relating to 2-3 sto- ries and possible changes to height limits. Councilmember Palmer said he would like these incon- sistencies removed throughout the document. The following comments were provided to the Consultant from Councilmembers with regards to the document: Council President Earling said he would like the consultant to look at an under pass, as well as the overhead pass as stated in the report. Council President Earling said as there is a question as to how much emphasis should be placed on the multi modal site. Council President Earling said the multi -modal site is going to move the traffic from downtown, as well as take away congestion and accomplish what the Council hasn't spent enough time talking about, which is the re -develop- ment of the downtown area. Council President Earling said the Consultant, should therefore, in- clude multi -modal issues wherever appropriate, as it is going to happen. Council President Farl- ing said he wants to make sure that enough time is spent analyzing the "big picture" to be sure there is a balance between public spaces and revenue generation for the City. With regards to EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 3 September 28, 1993 other issues in the report, Council President Earling said he does not like the idea of "parking garages". Council President Earling said a senior center is shown at 2nd and Dayton in the draw- ings included in the report, and said it should not be listed as site specific. Council President Earling said overall, the report is excellent. Councilmember Dwyer said he has no difficulty with the notion that at the multi -modal site, the city will have to come up with a new zoning designation. Councilmember Dwyer said he anticipates there will be structures at that site in excess of 25 feet. Councilmember Palmer cited document specific items including senior house issues. Councilmember Palmer said he would like the see the traffic and financial data attached to the document before it is forward to the Planning Board. Councilmember Palmer said he would also like to see the names of the Advisory Committee be included. Mr. Owens said he would include all of these issues into the document, including deleting refer- ence to height. PRESENTATION BY WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ON STATEWIDE PASSENGER RAIL \ Gil Mallery, Manager of WSDOT's Rail Branch, and Jim Eastman, Assistant Project Engineer, said the Washington State Department of Transportation is pursuing a program to enhance rail passenger service in Washington State. Two short term goals of the program are to restore service to Vancou- ver, B.C. and to add a fourth round-trip between Seattle and Portland. Mr. Eastman, said the travel time from Seattle to Vancouver is set at 3:55 minutes. In order to meet the service objectives for this time, it will require easing of local speed restrictions all along the corridor. Every train stop along the corridor will have to approve a higher speed or the service between Seattle and Vancouver will not become a reality. Mr. Eastman asked the Mayor and Council to approve a higher rate of speed for trains going through Edmonds. Mr. Eastman said local jurisdiction support is essential in requesting the easing of speed restrictions from the Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission. Currently, passenger trains headed for eastern Washington pass through Edmonds and Mukilteo two times a day (one round trip). Beginning October 1994, Pacific Northwest rail passenger trains n will pass through Edmonds two times a day (1 round trip). By 1997 it is planned that the Pacific Northwest Rail passenger trains will make 4 passes daily (2 round trips) through Edmonds.and Mukilteo, and by 1999, 6 passes (3 round trips). Mr. Eastman distributed a proposed resolution to the Mayor and Council for their future considera- tion. The proposed resolution would support the Pacific Northwest Rail Corridor passenger service objectives and for increasing the train speed limits with the city. It was noted the resolution was being presented to every jurisdiction along the rail corridor. A 14 minute video and slide illustrating the program was shown to the Mayor, Council, and audi- ence. Councilmember Palmer asked if the City of Edmonds is guaranteed that the train will stop in Edmonds for passenger pickup, and Mr. Eastman replied affirmatively. Councilmember Palmer ex- ---•• — pressed safety concerns for increased speeds through Edmonds and asked if any improvements will be made to the existing crossings. Mr. Eastman said the increased speeds through Edmonds will occur away from the populated areas, such as the grade crossings. Mr. Eastman said there are currently no funds for grade improvements, but said that could come at a later date. The Mayor and Council indicated concern for faster trains through Edmonds because of the current congestion. Councilmember Nordquist said as increased use of the tracks occur, he is concerned of the possibility of slides along the areas between Edmonds and Mukilteo during the seasonal time. It was noted by Mr. Eastman that this has been kept in mind, and said eventually double tracking on those areas will probably be needed to alleviate the problem. As a procedural matter, COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO EXTEND THE MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. Further discussion was held on this issue. Mayor Hall asked if any plans were being made to im- prove the current grade crossings. Mr. Eastman said not at this time, as it is taking every penny just to re-establish the Seattle -Vancouver run. The proposed resolution will be discussed by Council at a future meeting. Oc,\O \ REPORT ON GENERAL FUND FINANCIAL POSITION FOR THE PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 1993 Y1 o Art Housler, Administrative Services Director, said during the month of August, both revenue and EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 4 September 28, 1993 expenditure budgets were increased by $118,700, in order to compensate for increased jail service and overtime. With the exception of retail sales tax and swimming pool fees, Mr. Housler report- ed revenues are doing "okay". At this point in time, Mr. Housler said it is a safe bet that the budget of $12.7 million will be reached by year end. Mr. Housler said revenues are over by $636 for the month of August, and $274,071 for the year. Regarding expenditures, Mr. Housler said in August, the City had a target of $1,256,000. and actually spent $1,346,000, for an overexpenditure of $89,911. However, on a cumulative basis from year to date, the City has underspent through the month of August, a total of $323,510. Councilmember Petruzzi asked Mr. Housler how much he expects the City to be over in revenues by year end. Mr. Housler said on;a conservative note, he expects revenues will come in approximately $100,000 over target. Councilmember Petruzzi asked why expenditures are so much under target. Mr. Housler said posi- tions such as the, Building Official and Community Services Secretary remain unfilled, which has resulted in savings. Mr. Housler said there is also approximately $35,000 earmarked for GMA which will not be spent this year, but will be carried over into 1994. Councilmember Petruzzi asked if most of the $323,510 will be spent by year end. Mr. Housler said the City still has debt service to pay as well as the Sno-Isle contract. Mr. Housler said the Sno-Isle contract alone is $540,000 which is paid in December when property tax monies come in. Mr. Housler projected an approximate $200,000 under budget on expenditures. Councilmember Petruzzi asked Mr. Housler if the library expenditure has been accrued over.the year, acid Mr. Housler replied affirmatively. Due to the late hour, COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO RESCHED- ULE ITEM 9: "INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL REPORTS/UPDATES ON RESPECTIVE BOARD MEETINGS". MOTION CARRIED. AUTHORIZATION TO FILL VACANT COURT ADMINISTRATOR POSITION vk Brent Hunter, Personnel Manager, requested authorization to replace the Court Administrator vacan- cy. Due to the large termination pay off, it will require an additional appropriation of $4200 to refill the position starting November 1st. No change in Job Description is requested. Judge Conroy addressed the Mayor and City Council and asked that the position be authorized so it ' could be replaced by November 1, 1993. Councilmember Palmer asked if the reporting relationship, as suggested in the memo would remain the same, whereas the Court Administrator would still report to the Judge. Mr. Hunter replied affirmatively. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO ADOPT THE RECOMMENDED ACTION, AND AUTHORIZE REPLACEMENT OF THE COURT ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THE $4200 ALLOCATION BE FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND RATHER THAN FROM ANTICIPATED EXCESS CASH. MOTION CARRIED. AUTHORIZATION TO FILL VACANT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT OPERATOR POSITION ��(e �Ilk Bob Alberts, City Engineer, was available for questions.

Further discussion on Consent Agenda Item (H) (renamed 9B) As Councilmember Hall said he wanted reconsideration of Item (I) on the Consent Agenda, rather then Item (H), COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER TO APPROVE ITEM (H). MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Kasper voting no. COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, FOR RECONSIDERATION OF ITEM (I) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Hall had some questions regarding time limits citizens had with regards to the appeal process. Councilmember Hall said clarification is needed so citizens know they have this right. As City Attorney Scott Snyder was not present, COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO RE -SCHEDULE THIS ITEM AT THE NEXT MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. MAYOR EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 5 September 28, 1993 Mayor Hail said Representative Paul Shinn would like Council to be aware of a town meeting sched- uled for October 4, 1993 at 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m, in Council Chambers. Mayor Hall referenced a notice of public meeting which has been set for Art Project for the new Edmonds Public Works Facility. The meeting will be held Wednesday, September 29th at 5:00 p.m. at the current Public Works Facility. Mayor Hall referenced a memorandum from City Attorney Scott Snyder regarding the services.at the diving park at Brackett's Landing which Councilmember Hall previously asked for. Councilmember Hall said he did not request this information and hoped no city money was spent on this research. Council President Earling clarified dates in which Councilmembers will be meeting for budget discussions. Councilmember Nordquist said he would like Council to receive a copy of the letter the Health District sent to the Mayor indicating AWC has sent questionnaires regarding the future of Health Districts in relation to funding and governing. Council President Earling said he may have re- ceived this information and will check on it. Councilmember Nordquist said he would like a report from the Engineering Department on the status of Sign Route 104 starting at the freeway and going west. Councilmember Kasper said bids are in on the Public Works Facility. Councilmember Kasper said there was a "crunch list" made that said the City wasn't going to spend over $3.6 million. Coun- cilmember Kasper said the City can't be substituting into other funds because the funds have all been calculated in the bond issue. Councilmember Kasper said this is the first project the City has ever had in which the City Engineer has not been involved in. Councilmember Kasper said the City has always required the Engineer to review the plans, and said there has been no involvement on the part of the City Engineer on this project. Councilmember Kasper said he would like to take this subject up next week. With no other business before the Mayor or Council, Mayor Hall adjourned the meeting at 10:36 p.m. THE ORIGINAL SIGNED COPY OF THESE MINUTES, AS WELL AS A PERMANENT RECORDING OF ALL COUNCIL MEET- INGS CAN BE LOCATED IN THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE. aura I4,_Hall, Mayor' — - Rhonda J.
