ITEM (I): PROPOSED RESOLUTION TO INITIATE STREET VACATION ACTION REGARDING Consideration THE UNOPENED RIGHT- OF-WAY OF 8TH of Vacation o AVENUE BETWEEN ALDER AND Unopened WALNUT STREETS. Right-of-Way of 81h Ave., Between Development Services Director Duane Bowman explained for the past 18 months, the City has been Alder & addressing issues between neighbors in this area. The purpose of this action was to put this matter in Walnut front of the City Council and hold a public hearing to determine what the City wanted to do with this right -of -way. He explained there were a number of actions that could result from the street vacation including, a) vacating the right -of -way and retaining a utility easement, b) vacating the right -of -way and requiring a pedestrian easement, c) vacating only a portion of the right -of. -way while retaining appropriate utility and/or pedestrian easements, or d) do nothing. Mr. Bowman referred to a rumor that one of the parties would obtain all the right -of -way and assured that was not possible. By law, if vacated, the right -of -way returned to each side of the right -of -way; the four property owners would each receive an equal portion. He emphasized the proposed resolution would provide for a public forum and allow the public to provide input regarding what should be done with the right -of -way. The Council would then make a decision regarding what to do with the right -of. -way. Council President Marin advised the public hearing was scheduled for November 15, noting this would provide the public adequate time to prepare. Councilmember Dawson referred to the wording that the resolution would initiate the street vacation, and asked whether the Council could first hold a public hearing to determine whether to proceed with vacation. Mr. Bowman answered the Council could hold a public hearing; if the Council determined a vacation was appropriate, the process would begin again. This action initiates the process and leaves all options available to the Council following the public hearing. He assured the passage of this resolution did not obligate the Council to vacate the right -of -way, it only initiated the process of the public hearing and consideration of options. Councilmember Plunkett suggested such items in the future be entitled "Proposed Resolution Initiating Consideration of a Street Vacation," acknowledging the wording may have given the public a different impression regarding the action the Council was taking. COUNCIL PRESIDENT MARIN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM I (TO ADOPT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION INITIATING A STREET VACATION ACTION, SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR NOVEMBER 15, 2005). COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO ADD "CONSIDERATION." MOTION TO AMEND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The item approved is as follows: Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes October 4, 2005 Page 2 Res# Consideration (I) RESOLUTION NO. 1108 INITIATING CONSIDERATION OF A STREET VACATION of a street ACTION REGARDING THE UNOPENED RIGHT -OF -WAY OF 8 T AVENUE Vacation BETWEEN ALDER AND WALNUT STREETS, SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR Action NOVEMBER 15, 2005. Domestic 3. PROCLAMATION IN RECOGNITION OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH. Violence Awareness Month Councilmember Dawson read a proclamation declaring October 2005 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Edmonds. The proclamation urged all residents to support the work of the South Snohomish County Task Force in serving the needs of families impacted by domestic violence and work toward the elimination of domestic violence in our community. Councilmember Dawson explained she has participated on the South Snohomish County Domestic Violence Task Force for several years; the Task Force has grown in recent years to include members from throughout the region. She was now working for Mountlake Terrace as their Domestic Violence Special Prosecutor and would be attending national domestic violence training prevention and prosecution later this month. Megan Sweeney, Domestic Violence Coordinator for Edmonds and Lynnwood, described the amount of domestic violence reported in Edmonds: During June — December, 2004, 94 charged cases or cases that had the potential to be charged and 141 verbal reports; during January — August 2005, 1.07 charged cases or cases that had the potential to be charged and 160 verbal reports. She noted the numbers had increased which was a good sign that cases were being reported. She explained one of her responsibilities was working with officers and the prosecutor to ensure cases had a position resolution, whether conviction or holding the person accountable and providing treatment as well as providing empowerment and choices to victims. She is also a member of the Snohomish County Domestic Violence Task Force. Ms. Sweeney described events occurring this month including a candlelight vigil in Everett on October 11 from 6:45 — 9:00 p.m. and at Wilcox Park in Lynnwood on October 19 from 6:45 — 9:00 p.m. T -shirts have been printed with the names of victims of domestic violence homicide in South Snohomish County. She described a forum she attended today with Senator Patty Murray regarding the re- funding of the federal Violence Against Women Act. Other events include a business professional breakfast at the Lynnwood Convention Center on October 6, opening of a new transitional housing unit in Lake Forest Park, domestic violence training on October 14 -15 at Edmonds Community College, a survivors caucus in Olympia on October 1.5, a breakfast sponsored by the Center for Battered Women, and a Walk-in- their- Shoes at Alderwood Mall on October 8. She emphasized the importance of early intervention to ensure conviction and options for victims to move on. Councilmember Dawson commented on the overlap of services between cities in South Snohomish County, expressing her pleasure that the Edmonds City Council funded this position that assisted cities in working together on the Task Force and coordination between prosecution teams. She expressed her thanks to the Edmonds Police Department for their support and recognized Assistant Police Chief Gerry Gannon who was also active in the South Snohomish County Domestic Violence Task Force. 4. citizens PRESENTATION BY THE CITIZENS ADVISORY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE Advisory Transportation Bill Angle, Edmonds Citizens Advisory Transportation Committee, described concerns the Committee Committee had identified with regard to the physical depreciation, preservation, maintenance and funding for the City's roads, sidewalks and streetscape. Using the Kingdome as an example, he explained the Kingdome was delivered in 1977 for $67 million and required a significant annual maintenance budget. He explained the experience in King County was the maintenance budget was shorted nearly every year Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes October 4, 2005 Page 3 which was particularly problematic because there was no constituency to advocate for the maintenance budget other than the maintenance personnel. The result was dramatic and unexpected consequences including the deterioration of the roof by the early 1990's. Four ceiling tiles fell in 1994 which caused a breach of contract with the Mariners and the King County taxpayers were required to pay for emergency repairs that exceeded the cost of the original construction, $70 million. He emphasized the lesson from the Kingdome experience was that maintenance matters. He acknowledged maintenance budgets could be cut without immediate consequences because the problems were hidden but in the long run physical depreciation of a major asset was a reality and must be addressed. When an asset broke down, there was a real and substantial possibility that the consequences would be much greater than the maintenance that was avoided. He concluded the lesson was — pay now or pay later. During Mr. Angle's presentation, photographs of roads, sidewalks and streetscapes in need of repair were displayed. Mr. Angle explained the value of the City's 130 miles of roads and sidewalks was $650 million (using the recent 220th Street costs of approximately $5 million per mile) or $390 million (using a value of $3 million per mile). As to the question of what was the appropriate level of maintenance to adequately preserve this asset, to replace 2% annually on a 50 -year cycle would be $7.8 million per year or 1% annually on a 100 year cycle would be $3.9 million. He reiterated not doing the appropriate maintenance may lead to hidden damage. He acknowledged the City could balance its budget and under -fund its spending on infrastructure maintenance. From a cashflow perspective, this may appear adequate but from a balance sheet perspective, there was physical wear and tear and the value of the asset began to decline. He noted if the roads were allowed to continue to deteriorate, the City would eventually be required to rebuild roads at a cost considerably more than the maintenance. He noted deteriorating sidewalks had the added issue of liability and the extraordinary associated costs. Mr. Angle concluded the Committee believed this was an issue of stewardship; the City could not avoid being accountable in the long run. Just as the King County Council became accountable for their 19 years of deferred maintenance on the Kingdome, not taking decisive action was to turn the City's back on 100 years of asset protection. The Committee's conclusion was that the City must identify an ongoing revenue source that would adequately fund and preserve the transportation infrastructure. Councilmember Moore thanked the members of the Committee for their efforts, noting their conclusion regarding the need for a permanent funding source was the same one the Council has reached during discussions at two retreats. She looked forward to the Committee's ideas with regard to a permanent funding source. She referred to the potential of a street utility tax if the State Legislature were to approve it, noting she had been told the chances of that happening were slim. She asked for the Committee's input regarding the will of the taxpayers to directly fund street repair. Mayor Haakenson suggested the Committee also consider the potential for the Legislature to increase the Real Estate Excise Tax (REST) 0.4% to fund transportation. Mr. Angle acknowledged transportation funding was a local problem and it was unlikely the federal or state government would provide much assistance due to their own funding shortages. Extending 15. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE EXTENSION OF ORDINANCE NO. 3544 AN INTERIM ZONING Interim ORDINANCE AMENDING THE DEFINITIONS OF SIDE SETBACK ECDC 21.90.050 STREET Zoning Ordinance re: SETBACK ECDC 21.90.140, AND REAR SETBACK ECDC 21.85.020.

Setback Development Services Director Duane Bowman explained the Planning Board had been working on this matter including potential options to address the issue of setbacks. The Planning Board would not Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes October 4, 2005 Page 4 complete their work before the ordinance expires, thus the request to extend the ordinance. He anticipated the Planning Board would complete their review and provide a recommendation to the City Council before the extension expired. Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. There were no members of the public who wished to provide comment. Mayor Haakenson closed the public hearing and remanded the matter to Council for action. Ord# 3567 COUNCIL PRESIDENT MARIN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO Extending ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 3567. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

AUDIENCE COMMENTS Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented on the Hearing Examiner's public hearing on the development Hearing Examiner proposed by Rob Michel on Main Street regarding the buffer zone and the issues the residents in the area Public had identified. He noted Mr. Michel offered to delay the hearing, although the residents did not agree. Main St.re Mr. Michel indicated he was interested in delaying the hearing because he was in negotiations with the Property City for the City to purchase the property. As there may be an appeal to the City Council, he recommended the Council allow the process to proceed without any negotiation with Mr. Michel with regard to purchasing the property because if the Council were to deny the variance, they could be seen as attempting to restrict the price. He recalled the public at the hearing indicated they did not mind some development on the property, but did not support a 3,000 -4,000 square -foot house with a three car garage. The neighborhood acknowledged there were other 1,000 square -foot, one -car garage homes in the vicinity and felt a request to build something similar on this property would be a reasonable request. Don Kreiman, Edmonds, displayed a photograph of a 3 -story residential structure, Madrona Cove De`lopmcnt Planned Residential Development (PRD) in Shell Creek. He noted the 3 -story residential structure Thro ghout u he city followed the rules. He displayed a photograph of the PRD at 8th and Pine, noting the previous owner tried for years to develop the property and was denied by the City. The property was recently purchased and seven structures are under construction on the small property. He noted the rules were followed by the developers. He displayed another picture of a site in his neighborhood near Madrona K -8 where the coniferous trees were cut and the steep ravine filled in preparation for development. Again, the developer followed the rules. He pointed out that while the Council focused on downtown, developers and their associates were creating the rules they will follow at the Architectural Design Board (ADB) and their reward was profit. He suggested reviewing the minutes of the October 1, 2002 Council meeting to see how this was accomplished. He also suggested researching the Public Disclosure Commission to see who the developers and real estate interests were supporting. He suggested asking candidates why they should be allowed to build a condominium downtown but did not want others to do the same. Municipal 7. PROPOSAL FOR A MUNICIPAL COURT SECURITY OFFICER Court Security Officer Municipal Court Judge Douglas Fair requested the Council approve a $5,000 appropriation to fund a court security officer for the balance of 2005. Judge Fair explained in August 2004, a Workplace Safety Task Force was formed to address safety issues throughout the City. In November 2004, the Task Force determined courthouse security was the number one priority that needed to be addressed by the City. Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA) recommended the City's courthouse security meet the Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes October 4, 2005 Page 5 standards of neighboring communities. A survey confirmed all neighboring jurisdictions have security officers and metal detectors in use in their courtrooms. In April 2005, the Pubic Safety Committee considered four alternates to provide courthouse security; the Committee determined Puget Sound Executive Services, Inc. provided the best alternative. Since then, Human Resources Manager Debi Humann prepared a job description and Court Administrator Joan Ferebee prepared a Policies and Procedures Manual. Both have been vetted by the Work Safety Task Force, Human Resources and Police Department. At the September 2005 Public Safety Committee meeting a proposal was made for a new courthouse security officer and a new courthouse security officer has been submitted as a decision package for the 2006 budget. At that meeting, Councilmember Dawson asked that a deadly force policy be added to the manual. When Committee members asked when he would like to have a security officer in place, he replied as soon as possible as he felt every effort should be made to protect citizens and court staff. The Public Safety Committee recommended funding for this position for the balance of 2005 be submitted to the Council for review. Judge Fair advised his discussion with Administrative Services Director Dan Clements indicated there were sufficient funds in the ending fund balance to provide approximately $5,000 to fund this position for the remainder of 2005. Councilmember Dawson recommended the Council approve this appropriation, commenting operating the court without a security officer has put citizens, jurors, witnesses and court staff in danger. She found it unfortunate that the former judge eliminated this position, recalling it had been a concern to her as well as other Councilmembers. She recalled an incident recently where a person left the court after being taken into custody and there was no one to control the situation. She urged the Council to approve funding for the courthouse security officer for the balance of 2005 as well as in 2006. Councilmember Plunkett asked where in the packet the funding source was listed. Judge Fair responded there was no reference in the packet to the funding source. His discussion with Mr. Clements indicated there would be adequate ending fund balance to cover this appropriation. COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO APPROVE FUNDING THE MUNICIPAL COURT SECURITY OFFICER FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2005 OUT OF ENDING FUND BALANCES. Councilmember Plunkett suggested in the future the agenda reflect that the item included an expenditure and the agenda packet indicate the source. Councilmember Moore agreed this had been an issue and expressed her appreciation to staff for developing this proposal. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 8. MAYOR'S COMMENTS Adoption of Mayor Haakenson advised Edmonds had adopted Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, a city of 8,000 that was city devastated by hurricane Katrina. A list of citizens' needs would be posted on the City's website, on Devastated by Hurricane Channel 21 and in City Hall and would be provided to the 20 churches he met with recently. Citizens Katrina who had any of the supplies could call the Mayor's office. He advised the City was also in need of storage /warehouse space and transportation of the supplies to Mississippi. He advised the supplies were divided into three categories, cleaning supplies (brooms, heavy duty mops, bleach, disinfectant, household rubber gloves, etc. to clean storm residue, mud and black mold growing on floors, walls and Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes October 4, 2005 Page 6 plumbing fixtures), household supplies (dishwashing liquid, paper plates, cups, plastic cutlery, pots with covers, frying pans, cooking utensils, ironing boards, bedding, etc.), and rebuilding supplies (interior building supplies; roofing supplies, small hand tools, battery operated drills, saws, ceiling fans, etc.). Bay St. Louis has only one small building supply store remaining and it is operating at only 40% capacity. He advised cash donations were also welcome. 9. COUNCIL COMMENTS Sound Transit Council President Marin reported Sound Transit was in the process of planning the second phase of investments (ST2) that will be on the ballot in 2006. He advised the top priority in the Snohomish County subarea was preliminary design for light rail extension from Northgate to Ash Way Park & Ride. He noted the Seashore Forum, comprised of elected officials and City staff in the north King County and south Snohomish County areas, also added preliminary design for light rail extension from Northgate to Ash Way Park & Ride to their priorities. He commented on the synergy of north King County and Snohomish County agreeing to this would provide. Council President Marin reported on the American Public Transportation Association conference he attended in Dallas last week including riding the light rail system in Dallas that is based on the same cars that will be used for the Puget Sound region's light rail. He noted the buses /equipment that would be used for the bus rapid transit system being considered for Hwy. 99 were also on display at the conference. Council President Marin wished Councilmember Wilson a Happy Birthday later this week. Councilmember Dawson thanked Mayor Haakenson for his efforts to adopt a city in Mississippi, noting this was a great way for the community to give to that area. She thanked Mayor Haakenson, Council cities & President Marin, and Councilmembers Moore, Olson and Wilson who attended the Cities and Towns ITowns Meeting meeting this week in Edmonds. That meeting included discussion regarding I -330 and I -912. She expressed thanks to lobbyist Mike Doubleday who provided information regarding the impacts that passage of I -912 would have on the community and region. She offered to email that information to Councilmembers. The meeting also included discussion of the streamlined sales tax proposal the Legislature would be considering this session, noting that proposal had the potential to provide a significant amount of revenue to Edmonds. Councilmember Dawson apologized she would be unable to attend the October 18 Council meeting as she would be in California attending the national training for domestic violence prosecution. Project Councilmember Moore reported on a Project Readiness demonstration she attended last week to Readiness i demonstrate how the Homeland Security funds have been used in this region via ESCA. She also invited the public to register at Sound Styles downtown for a walk to benefit Teen Hope.

Councilmember Wilson advised he also attended the Project Readiness demonstration, commenting on the joint effort of all agencies to use the equipment purchased to serve Snohomish County. Councilmember Wilson reported Puget Sound Regional Council's presentation at Snohomish County snohomish Tomorrow on regional air services was very well attended by the public which illustrated Snohomish comity County residents' interest in the issue and provided an opportunity for the residents of Snohomish County Tomorrow to voice their opposition to future expansion of Paine Field. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes October 4, 2005 Page 7 Edmonds Councilmember Wilson reported the groundbreaking for the Edmonds Center for the Arts last week was Center for the very well attended by the public. He commented it was exciting to see that effort moving forward and Arts would provide an asset to the community. Snohomish Mayor Haakenson reported he attended the Snohomish County Homeland Security meeting, explaining County Homeland that group determines how the funds are spent via Project Readiness. He advised at the most recent Security meeting, the group allocated 2006 funds for additional radio channels for the 800 MHz system to increase the region's ability to communicate in the event of a disaster. MPOR Zone Mayor Haakenson referred to comments he has received regarding the MPOR zone the Council approved Ordinance recently, explaining the City Attorney was preparing the ordinance and it would be on the Council's October 25 agenda for final approval. There would be additional public hearings once a Master Plan and the rezone was proposed as well as public hearings before the Architectural Design Board, Planning Board and City Council. He assured there would be ample opportunity for the public to provide input at the public hearings. Student Representative Molly Thomson requested Mayor Haakenson send the notice regarding hurricane needs to the high schools. She advised Edmonds-Woodway's football team was undefeated, 5-0.
