Promote 3. PROPOSED RESOLUTION PROMOTING THE USE OF APPRENTICES IN PUBLIC WORKS
Apprentices in PROJECTS
Public Works
Projects
Council President Marin commented he benefited from an apprenticeship program when he was a young
man when he was invited to participate in the carpenters apprentice program. He introduced Eric
Franklin and Greg Raymond whom he invited to speak about apprenticeship programs.
Eric Franklin, NW Carpenters, and Western Washington Carpenters Training Trust, explained
apprenticeship programs were open to all contractors, both union and non - union. Apprenticeship
programs are supervised by Labor & Industries Apprenticeship Division who approve curriculum and
standards. The utilization of apprenticeship programs helped young people access programs and provided
an opportunity for success. He pointed out the upcoming retirement of a large number of baby boomers
will create a massive shortage of skilled crafts people. Apprenticeships create good, family wage jobs,
jobs that cannot be outsourced, and highly skilled craftspeople who return taxes to the community.
Apprenticeship programs also invest in young people and the future of the community. Apprenticeships
open doors to trades where skills are in demand throughout the country. He recalled during times of
economic downturn, journey - level workers may go to other areas where their crafts are in demand and
continue to send money home to nurture their families in local communities.
He pointed out the potential savings to contractors via the utilization of apprenticeship programs, savings
that may be passed on to end users. He commented residents have been the beneficiaries of infrastructure
decisions made in the past and it was appropriate to look to the future.
Greg Raymond, Edmonds resident, carpenters apprentice, Tigard Construction, explained he had
been in the apprenticeship program for 2z /z years and was at the fourth of eight levels in the program. He
found the program very rewarding and it assisted him with college classes at Edmonds Community
College in Project Management.
Responding to Councilmember Plunkett's question, City Attorney Scott Snyder stated the Council has
adopted via resolution a variety of policies related to procurement of goods and services that are not
incorporated into ordinances. Ordinances were typically of general application. A resolution such as this,
asking for a good faith effort, was a request to staff to utilize the program as RFPs were assembled for a
bidding process. He assured the resolution would not be codified; it was a procedural document rather
than a document of general application.
Mr. Snyder further explained the agenda memo and resolution were revised to delete reference to the
Edmonds Public Facilities District as the City was unable to bind or direct the Public Facilities District.
The resolution requested a good faith effort from contractors to use apprenticeship programs but provided
several "outs" that made it a guiding principle.

Councilmember Orvis asked whether there were any prohibitions on general contractors' use of
apprenticeship programs now. Mr. Snyder answered there were not.
Councilmember Dawson asked whether this was the same as the requirement for all Washington State
contracts since January 2004. Mr. Snyder answered yes, pointing out a number of other cities and
counties have adopted a similar policy. Councilmember Dawson advised the policy at the State level was
via Executive Order which was the same as the City's resolution process.
Res# 1100 - COUNCIL PRESIDENT MARIN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON, TO
Promote ADOPT REVISED RESOLUTION NO. 1100, PROMOTING THE USE OF APPRENTICES IN
Apprentices in PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS.
Public Works
Projects
Councilmember Dawson spoke in favor of the resolution, finding promoting the use of apprentices in
Public Works projects to be an excellent idea, putting the City in line with other jurisdictions and the
State for large projects. She agreed recent demographic studies show there will be a shortage of skilled
workers in the construction industry in the coming years and apprenticeship programs only made the
economy in the area stronger. Good wage earners and good jobs put more money into the economy. She
concluded this was a very positive program and she was appreciative that the City's major projects could
benefit the community in this manner.
Councilmember Plunkett advised with the holiday, he was unable to obtain information from a source that
would provide him total confidence in the program. Although he supported the apprenticeship program,
due to his inability to obtain that information, he would abstain from the vote unless the vote was delayed
to a future Council meeting.
MOTION CARRIED (5 -0 -1), COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT ABSTAINED.
Rezone Lot at 4. CLOSED RECORD REVIEW OF THE PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION TO
the NW APPROVE A REQUEST BY A.D. SHAPIRO ARCHITECTS FOR HANS LAMMERSDORF FOR
Corner of A REZONE FROM SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL (RS -8 AND RM -1..5) TO
and 23012,
232° sts MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL (RM -1.5) AND COMMUNITY BUSINESS (BC). THE SITE IS ON
23014, 23028, EDMONDS WAY AND INCLUDES THE VACANT LOT AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF
23100, 23110 232ND STREET SW AND 23012, 23014, 23028, 23100, 23110 EDMONDS WAY. (FILE NO. R- 05 -44)
Edmonds Wy
As this was a quasi judicial matter, Mayor Haakenson invited Councilmembers to disclose any ex parte
contacts and/or conflict of interest.
Councilmember Plunkett disclosed the applicant's representative, Mr. Shapiro, made a $200 contribution
to his non -City Council campaign in 2002.
Councilmember Orvis disclosed his father lives approximately three blocks from the site. Although they
have talked about the site with regard to locating campaign signs there, he did not feel it would affect his
ability to participate.
Mayor Haakenson asked whether any of the parties of record had any objection to Councilmember
Plunkett's or Councilmember Orvis' participation. There were no objections voiced. City Attorney Scott
Snyder asked Councilmember Orvis whether he had any ownership interest in the property.
Councilmember Orvis answered no. Mayor Haakenson advised all Councilmembers would participate.
Planning Manager Rob Chave reported an application was submitted by Anthony Spiro who is
representing the owner, Hans Lammersdorf. He displayed a map of the area and identified the properties
located on the west side of Edmonds Way north of 232nd Street SW. The Planning Board held a public
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
July 5, 2005
Page 3
hearing and found the proposal consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the criteria for rezone and the
Planning Board recommended approval.
Mr. Chave explained one of the primary purposes of the rezone was to bring the property into compliance
with the Comprehensive Plan designation which was changed during the amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan last year making these properties part of the Edmonds Way Corridor.
Applicant
Tony Shapiro stated Edmonds Way has changed over the past ten years due to increased traffic volumes
and speeds which he noted has contributed to the need to rezone this property. He identified the primarily
single family residences along this stretch of roadway on fairly narrow lots. The southern most lot at the
intersection of 232nd Street SW and Edmonds Way was a significant sized lot of square proportions that
would lend itself well to a mixed use designation. He identified multi family and commercial uses in the
surrounding area on Edmonds Way. He explained their proposal was to rezone several parcels multi
family and rezone the larger parcel BC to accommodate a future mixed use development.
Mr. Shapiro explained there were currently ten curb cuts serving the single family houses; he proposed
two curb cuts to serve multi family townhouses and the mixed use development. Another aspect of the
site was the significant grade change, ranging from 6 -15 feet, that would naturally enhance a separation
between a multi family and the existing single family zone. He pointed out the heavy vegetation
including numerous fir trees on the slope, recalling a neighbor expressed concern at the Planning Board
public hearing regarding the loss of the trees. He advised they would try to retain the trees although he
had some concern that remaining trees may become unstable if some trees were removed. Tree retention
would be reviewed during development review and via the SEPA process.
He referred to another goal of the zone, to remove strip commercial centers which he noted they were not
proposing in the BC zoned portion of the property. He described a mixed use concept with commercial
on the ground floor, a level of parking accessed from 232nd Street SW and two levels of housing above.
He referred to a massing study that illustrated how the housing would be setback from the property line
and Edmonds Way. He displayed a building elevation and briefly described the proposed configuration in
the mixed use building.
Mr. Shapiro described how the rezone complied and enhanced the goals of the zoning ordinance, 1)
consistency with adjacent properties —while the use of the property would be changed, it was consistent
with construction on other surrounding properties as well as commercial activities occurring at 232nd
Street SW and Edmonds Way, 2) enhancing the safety of access on the site —the numerous curb cuts
created an unsafe condition that would be enhanced via the rezone, 3) the economic viability of the
property and the surrounding neighborhood would be enhanced by adding more stable structures and
removal of the degraded single family structures as well converting the vacant lot into an active,
commercial development. He encouraged the City Council to approve the Planning Board's
recommendation.
Janet Hoag, 23227 92nd Avenue W, Edmonds, urged the preservation of as many of the large trees on
the property as possible. She realized the property needed to be cleared but revered the beautiful trees
and the 75+ years of growth. She noted the benefits of trees to filter exhaust fumes from Edmonds Way.
Don Carter, 9307 231" Street SW, Edmonds, identified the hairpin curve that already created problems
for residents entering /exiting their driveways, commenting the increased traffic created via the proposed
development would exacerbate an already dangerous condition. He anticipated delivery trucks would
park in the center lane. He also commented on retaining the trees on the site, referring to another multi
family development that did not provide any buffer between it and the surrounding properties.

Councilmember Dawson requested staff respond regarding the trees and whether that was something the
Council could address during the rezone process. Mr. Chave answered the trees could not be addressed
during the rezone process; the SEPA review that was conducted for the rezone was a non - project specific
SEPA that only addressed the zoning. A project- specific SEPA review as well as ADB review would be
required when a specific development proposal was submitted.
Councilmember Dawson asked whether there was anything the City could do to preserve more trees such
as providing incentives to development to encourage preservation of trees. Mr. Chave answered revisions
to the tree clearing regulations in Title 18 of the Development Code would be required. He noted that
may be appropriate in view of the recent updates to the Comprehensive Plan and Critical Areas
Ordinance. Councilmember Dawson suggested consideration be given to revisions to the code to
encourage tree retention in the future.
Councilmember Plunkett asked whether the Environmental Checklist addressed traffic. Mr. Chave
answered yes, explaining traffic was also reviewed by the Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) and the City's Traffic Engineer. Although WSDOT and the Traffic Engineer
found there is adequate roadway capacity, the concern with development would be turning movements
which would receive careful review at the time a development proposal was submitted.
Mr. Shapiro assured they would make every effort to retain trees, noting there were some areas to the rear
where it may be possible to retain some of the trees. It would be their goal to retain as many trees as
possible and work with staff to reduce traffic congestion and address safety issues.
City Attorney Scott Snyder pointed out this was a non - project specific approval; although the Council had
been provided site plans and discussion regarding trees, the Council was not approving a development
and the rezone if approved would not give the applicant the ability to proceed nor limit his proposal.
COUNCILMEMBER MOORE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT MARIN, TO
APPROVE THE REZONE, AGREEING WITH THE PLANNING BOARD THAT IT WAS
CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
5. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE EXTENSION OF ORDINANCE NO. 3533, EXTENDING INTERIM

Families
Development Services Director Duane Bowman explained the original interim zoning ordinance arose
from a discussion regarding how exchange students were addressed in the definition of family. The
matter has been referred to the Planning Board; the Board held a work session on the topic and plan to
conclude their work within the next three months although not prior to the expiration of the ordinance,
thus the request to extend the ordinance. Once the Planning Board completes its discussion, they will
hold a public hearing and forward a recommendation to the City Council.
Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. There were no members
of the audience who wished to speak; Mayor Haakenson closed the public hearing and remanded to
Council for action.

6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Plamied Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, Edmonds, referred to Planned Residential Developments (PRD),
Residential advising a developer was still requesting variances and the Hearing Examiner was granting variances. He
nevelopments next referred to an article on the front page of the Everett Herald regarding boosters for expansion of
Paine Field Paine Field. He contacted the reporter to request he include the list of boosters in the article as well as
provide an opportunity for opponents' viewpoints to be expressed on the front page. Mr. Hertrich then
commented on seeing only Mayor Haakenson and Councilmember Dawson in the parade and encouraged
the Council to participate in the parade as a group.
Public Don Kreiman, 24006 95th Place W, Edmonds, reported his search of the Public Disclosure
�iscl °sure Commission's website found one Councilmember accepted a $1,000 donation from the Tulalip Tribes.
commission He questioned why a Councilmember could benefit from gambling but the City could not. He
recommended the Councilmember who received the contribution return it. He encouraged the public to
research the Public Disclosure Commission's website as there were many interesting facts. He clarified
the Councilmember who accepted the donation did not break any laws but in his opinion, those funds did
not belong in Edmonds.
7. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Governor Mayor Haakenson reported Governor Gregoire was in the City today, visiting the Edmonds Center for the
Gregoire Arts as well as several local merchants followed by lunch at Chanterelle's and then a visit to the Frances
Edmonds Anderson Center where she spent time with the children. He noted Governor Gregoire and he discussed
Edmonds l� g
several projects in Edmonds.
Richard Marin
Retirement Mayor Haakenson congratulated Council President Marin on his retirement from the Navy, advising of
from the Navy the ceremony this Saturday at Naval Station Everett.
" of July Mayor Haakenson thanked the Chamber of Commerce for the great 4th of July parade and fireworks
Events show.
Paine Field He referred to Mr. Hertrich's comments regarding the Everett Herald article, agreeing not only was
today's article biased but other previous articles have been biased as well. He noted an article regarding a
large number of opponents to Paine Field expansion who attended a Lynnwood City Council meeting was
buried several sections into the newspaper, suggesting both articles could have been contained on the
front page. He referred to several editorials by Everett Herald staff who are proponents of Paine Field
expansion.
8. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Public Council President Marin explained a few weeks ago, the Council approved a loan guarantee to the
Facilities Edmonds Public Facilities District Board (PFD) as a consent agenda item. The Council had deliberated
District ee Loan
Guaarantee on the issue at a prior meeting and final approval was scheduled on the consent agenda. He commended
the PFD'S vision and efforts to make the project a reality, explaining the project had reached a point
where the Council had sufficient confidence that it would succeed. He noted the loan guarantee would
allow the PFD to proceed with the project and avoid further inflationary increases in project costs.

Council President Marin recalled a few weeks ago the Council deliberated on code revisions in the BC
zone, noting the Council may be interested in allowing further discussion of the proposed changes.
Motion to COUNCIL PRESIDENT MARIN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
Reconsider RECONSIDER THE BC ZONE PLAN AND HAVE DELIBERATIONS ON JULY 26, 2005.
BC Zone Plan
Councilmember Dawson commented if the intent was only further discussion, that could be accomplished
at the July 26 meeting without reconsidering the motion. However, if Councilmembers who voted in
favor of forwarding the plan to the Planning Board had specific changes, that would be worthwhile to
consider and she would support a motion to reconsider. She questioned whether reconsideration would
delay the Planning Board's review. She suggested any Councilmember who wanted to make a change
voice that now.
Council President Marin clarified his intent was to have discussion at the July 26 meeting, make a
decision and forward it to the Planning Board. For example, he noted the Conservation District versus the
Art District may warrant further discussion and clarification.
Councilmember Plunkett recalled saying at the time that some votes were being taken just for the sake of
voting. He expressed concern that at that meeting, numerous ideas /concepts were raised that
Councilmembers had not had adequate time to consider. He was reluctant to enter into further
extemporaneous, off -the -cuff voting and suggested Councilmembers interested in making a change
provide written materials to the Council prior to the meeting.
Councilmember Moore agreed to provide in writing the changes she was interested in pursuing.
Council President Marin agreed, establishing July 15 as the deadline to submit written materials which
would provide Councilmembers two weeks to review the materials prior to the July 26 discussion.
Councilmember Dawson indicated she would support reconsideration to avoid forwarding information to
the Planning Board that Councilmembers still had concerns with. She expressed concern with delaying
the process further and preferred to indicate to the Planning Board now what the issues were rather than
waiting another month.
Councilmember Moore advised she had expressed her concerns to the Planning Board and she would
email Councilmembers. One of her concerns was the change from Arts Corridor to Conservation Zone as
she was unclear what ramifications a Conservation Zone would have on the property owners in that zone.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Richard Marin Council President Marin reported he was retiring from the Navy on July 9 in a ceremony at Naval Station
Retirement Everett. He noted if anyone wished to attend, he could provide for base access. He advised he joined the
from the Navy
Navy 40 years ago as a 20 -year old and was retiring due to mandatory retirement at age 60.
Councilmember Plunkett referred to Mr. Hertrich's comments about PRD variances, recalling there was
Planned some discussion about that topic at a Community/Development Services Committee meeting.
Residential p g'
Developments Councilmember Plunkett commented even if staff was working on revisions to variances as they pertain
to PRDs, the site on Main would already be vested and any changes would not apply. Development
Services Director Bowman explained the PRD ordinance did not allow height variances. However,
someone could apply for a variance on a lot inside the PRD after it was approved. He recalled a PRD in
the north end of the City where the builder purchased the development from the original developer and
the lots sloped on the upside and downside. Because of the slope on the downside, the builder
encountered a problem with very steep driveways, thus the proposal to reduce the street setback pulling
the houses further up the hill which required a variance application.
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
July 5, 2005
Page 7
Councilmember Plunkett recalled discussion at the Community/Development Services Committee
meeting last year about revising regulations with regard to variances after a PRD was approved and
inquired about the status of those revisions. Mr. Bowman answered that had not been accomplished yet
due to the numerous other issues that have been under review by the Planning Board. He advised staff
still needed to develop code language to present to the Planning Board. Mr. Bowman commented he did
not necessarily agree that height variances should be prohibited in PRDs as specific issues may not arise
until the design process. He stated it was a policy decision for the Council.
City Attorney Scott Snyder relayed Councilmember Orvis' request that he review variance criteria in
general, an issue that was scheduled for a Council work meeting in August. He suggested that discussion
also consider whether a PRD that created an unworkable site plan was a self-created hardship, which
would require the developer to utilize the PRD amendment process versus seeking a variance.
Councilmember Moore reported she enjoyed the parade as a spectator, noting some people get tired of
seeing politicians in parades. She also enjoyed watching the fireworks from the lawn of her home. l'
sl,
Governor Councilmember Moore reported Governor Gregoire began her visit early this morning at Edmonds
Gregoire visit Community College where staff and she lead a 2-hour tour of the Family Center and classrooms where
at Edmonds Governor Gregoire was shown how Edmonds Community College and Central Washington University
Community
College combine their efforts to allow students to earn an AA degree and a 4-year degree from Central. She
relayed Governor Gregoire's comment that this was the best example in Washington State of allowing
more access to more students.
Although she had not accepted a contribution from the Tulalip Tribe, Councilmember Moore objected to
the reference to the donation as if the Tulalip Tribe were some sort of pariah. In her view, the Tulalip P71
Tribe were leaders in the environment with fantastic salmon recovery clean water programs and they have
been very good partners with cities throughout Snohomish County on mitigation plans to restore the
environment. She defended the Tulalip Tribe, finding they represented environmentally active people.
Councilmember Orvis advised the information he requested regarding variances with a PRD would be
provided after the appeal period for the Hearing Examiner's decision had expired.
4th of July Councilmember Dawson reported she and her husband participated in the parade and found it a fun
Events experience. Friends from the eastside who drove them in the parade were amazed at the number of
people who watched the parade and the great, small town feeling in Edmonds. They also found it
interesting that people knew Councilmembers and talked about issues as they rode through the parade.
She thanked the Chamber of Commerce for putting on such a great small town event.
Public Councilmember Dawson reminded the public of the July 19 public hearing on potential Esperance Island
Hearing re: annexation, encouraging not only residents of the Esperance area but also residents from throughout
Esperance
Annexation Edmonds to share their views regarding whether the City should pursue annexation.
Mayor Haakenson suggested scheduling the Council's discussion on the BC zone as the first item on the
agenda rather than the last item recalling the late hour when the Council discussed that matter previously.
With no further business,the Council meeting was adjourned at 8:07 p.m.
