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:

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.

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.

6. 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

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

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.
