3. BUDGET WORK SESSION
Building Repair/Maintenance
Administrative Services Director Art Housler advised the packet contained information outlining the
options. He recalled the Council voted down a proposal for a Business License Square Footage Tax last
week. At that time, Council President Earling requested that staff develop options to address the
$170,000 for building repair/maintenance. Mr. Housler explained Option #1 would appropriate $170,000
in unanticipated 1997 cash revenues from the General Fund, #001, to the Building Maintenance Fund,
#116. He explained the additional funds were determined by reviewing revenues line item by line item
to determine whether the City was on target for year end. Next, department managers were asked to
review their budgets to determine if expenses were on target. Mr. Housler referred to the appropriate
attachments and reviewed the items that made up the following figures.
Budgeted 1998 Beginning Cash Balance
Plus 1997 unanticipated additional revenues
Plus 1997 unanticipated additional expenditures savings

Mr. Housler explained in considering Option #2, the Council needed a greater understanding of Zero
Based Budgeting. He explained Zero Based Budgeting includes a systematic process of determining cost
centers and a review of items necessary to provide each service. He said there are 38 costs centers that
J} represent services provided by the City. The Zero Based Budgeting methodology did not provide for
cutting individual budgeted line items. It provides a ranking system in which the 38 cost centers are
ranked by highest priority (must have) to lowest priority (nice to have). He pointed out that
Councilmember Myers participated in the budget review team (along with Mayor Fahey, himself, Human
Resources Director Brent Hunter) and concluded this was a lean budget that should be adopted by the
City Council. For these reasons, it was felt Option #1 provided an opportunity to quickly and easily
resolve the building repair/maintenance issue for 1998. This issue could be studied further during 1998
to determine how to address the long term maintenance/repair problem. He encouraged the Council to
adopt Option #1 and use the excess money to fund the $170,000 to be transferred to the #116 Building
Maintenance Fund.
For Councilmember Myers, Mr. Housler explained the $310,600 in unanticipated additional revenue was
in addition to funds identified in the preliminary budget book, funds that had been identified since the
preliminary budget was prepared in mid-September. Councilmember Myers noted the budget he
reviewed included the funds generated by the Business License Square Footage Tax.
Mayor Fahey explained the original unanticipated revenues were $398,000 but a total of approximately
$700,000 had been brought in during the year in unanticipated revenues. She noted this reflected the
conservative estimates made in the 1997 budget and the same conservative estimates were used in the
1998 budget. She pointed out the City did not want -to encounter a situation where revenues were less
than anticipated; there is reason to believe there would be some excess in 1998 also.
Councilmember Miller questioned whether the $310,600 was found following Council's last meeting.
Mr. Housler explained last week's Council meeting addressed a different issue and year end revenues had
not been addressed prior to last week. Mayor Fahey clarified the $398,000 in unanticipated revenue had
been received throughout 1997 and the Council made allocations against those funds during the year.
Councilmember Haakenson referred to Mr. Housler's memo which states Zero Based Budgeting is a
systematic process and that cost centers are ranked according to highest priority. The memo also
indicates the ranking has not been done for the cost centers. Mr. Housler advised ranking has been done
by categories, the highest priority are cost centers that meet the City's legal requirements, the next
priority is self-sustaining or revenue generating cost centers, and the remainder were "nice to have" and
did not meet a legal requirement or were not self-sustaining or revenue generating. He said cost centers
have not been ranked within the categories.
Councilmember Haakenson observed if staff was to cut "fat" from the budget, it would need to be based
on cost centers with the lowest priorities, yet that ranking had not been done. Mr. Housler pointed out
each line item expenditure within the cost centers have been thoroughly reviewed and concluded these
were the costs to provide this service.
Mayor Fahey referred to the cost center in the budget book. She noted the cost centers were not ranked
within categories to determine which would have more critical public impact. She noted the budget
included equipment not purchased in past years, particularly in 1996 when the City experienced budget
shortfalls. This could be cut if a specific item was to be pulled from the budget that was not directly
associated with a cost center. Training allocations have been significantly enhanced; the amount
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
December 9, 1997
Page 3
allocated per person could also be reduced. She preferred these items remain in the budget and the
immediate maintenance costs be addressed by unanticipated revenues.
Councilmember Haakenson clarified Option #2 did not provide priorities for items that could be cut as
requested by the Council last week. Mr. Housler said the budget review team assumed the services
required/demanded by the public (the 38 cost centers) were still desirable if the City could afford them.
Therefore, they did not feel it was necessary to spend time ranking individual cost centers and ranking
was done only by category.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke recalled the testimony from the business community indicated they were
willing to develop an alternative to the proposed square footage tax. He asked if this could be done
within the first quarter of 1998 or if the City must wait until the 1999 budget. City Attorney Scott
Snyder answered only taxes linked to statewide collection (property taxes and certain levies) are limited
to an annual cycle; business license assessments, fees, etc. are at the Council's discretion and may be set
throughout the year.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke asked if it would be possible to present a proposal that could be enacted
during the first quarter if an acceptable proposal was developed early next year. Mr. Snyder answered
yes, the type of tax would determine whether it would be pro -rated.
Council President Earling asked if any options other than the two provided had been discussed by staff
during the past week. Mr. Housler answered no.
Council President Earling referred to the December 2 Council minutes, "Mayor Pro Tem Earling
observed that by rejecting this tax, the budget contained approximately $170,000 in unfunded
maintenance. He proposed staff make budget adjustments totaling $170,000 so the maintenance program
could continue to be funded." The December 2 minutes also reflect the statement, "Mayor Pro Tem
Earling asked staff to provide a prioritized list of budget adjustments with recommendations for the
Council's review." Council President Earling referred to Mr. Housler's memo which stated previous
Council action, "After City Councilmembers voted not to implement the Business License Square
Footage Tax on December 2, Council President Earling requested staff provide a menu of options with
which to fund the building repair/maintenance projects for 1998 totaling $170,000." He said Option #1
and #2 appeared to be the menu being presented to the Council.
Council President Earling questioned why the specific action requested, particularly prioritization, was
not provided. Mr. Housler pointed out the Council approved a change in the budgeting process two years
ago, from incremental budgeting and line item cutting to Zero Based Budgeting which uses cost centers.
Mayor Fahey responded that the Council packet did not include the cost centers ranked by category. She
explained there are 12 cost centers which have only public impact—human resources, training for police,
crime prevention for police, the canine unit for police, special operations for police, court security,
reserve unit, parks maintenance, administration, the flower program, recycling program, and volunteers.
She said staff could attempt to prioritize these cost centers but felt each Councilmember likely would
have different opinions as to which services would have the most public impact. She recalled the
elimination of the dive/rescue team and boat last year resulted in a tremendous amount of concern from
the community. She noted elimination of any of these items would have ramifications and she
encouraged Councilmembers to provide input regarding which would have the least public impact.

Councilmember Miller said it was staff s role to prioritize the cost centers. In view of the identification
of the $310,600 in unanticipated revenue since last week, he was concerned with moving forward with
the 106% property tax. The Council could then consider reducing the property increase to the cost of inflation, approximately 103%, and ask staff to identify cuts to fund the $170,000 in building
repair/maintenance.
Mr. Housler clarified the unanticipated additional revenue had not been found since last week but since
the preliminary budget was prepared (finalized in the third week of September and presented to Council
the first week of October). He stressed the square footage tax was a separate issue from unanticipated
additional revenues. He explained the square footage tax would address a need in the City for
maintenance and repair. Those funds were to be allocated in a separate fund for building
maintenance/repair in 1998 and for street overlays, etc. in future years.
Councilmember Miller clarified it was not his intention to imply the money had been found during the
last week and realized it was the result of some great budgeting. He questioned whether the Council
wished to use some of the unanticipated additional revenue to reduce the 106% property tax. Mayor
Fahey pointed out the problem with using one-time unanticipated revenue in lieu of an increase in
property tax was that once those taxes were not collected, they were not available in the future. She
pointed out the cost factors facing the City such as greater maintenance than could be covered by a tax
generating $160,000 per year and funding of 800 MHz if the levy is riot passed, etc. She pointed out the
106% property tax is actually less than is being lost in the sales tax equalization. Further, if the 106% is
not levied this year, those taxes cannot be recaptured in future years.
Councilmember Myers agreed if 106% was not assessed, these items must be paid for in the future, a
situation he found unacceptable. He assured Mr. Housler the Council appreciated the great job he has
done on the budget. He suggested the budget review team reconvene and make recommendations rather
than the Council attempting to do it now. He recommended Councilmember Haakenson also participate
on the budget review team as he will be involved in the budget next year.
Council President Earling agreed with Councilmember Myers' suggestion and recommended a special
meeting be held and staff be asked to provide the information requested last week. During that time,
Councilmembers could also review some of its own priorities. A special meeting was scheduled for
Thursday, December 11 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall. City Clerk Sandy Chase said she would confirm the
location and call each Councilmember.
Mr. Housler said budgets have been very lean during the last few years; Zero Based Budgeting made
everyone accountable. He stressed this was an accountable budget; every line item had been reviewed by
a Council representative. He observed equipment, training, and maintenance would be the items cut—
these are the items that are cut whenever additional funds are needed. This year's budget tries to catch up
somewhat by providing new training to achieve the City's goals and vision. Before cuts are made in
equipment, training, and maintenance, he encouraged the Council to review the detail for each cost
center prior to Thursday's meeting.
Mayor Fahey said she and Mr. Housler felt the Council wanted to proceed with items to implement
concepts in the Human Resource Study and therefore felt it was appropriate to recommend using the
unanticipated additional revenue for maintenance. She said they would be happy to prioritize cost
centers with only public impact, noting this was a policy decision versus cutting a certain amount from
each line item which was an administrative decision. She indicated she and staff would also review
items that could be eliminated from the budget totaling $170,000.

Councilmember Van Hollebeke reiterated his suggestion that a revenue source in the community be
developed which would generate approximately $170,000. He pointed out the business community
indicated a willingness to review the process and develop a more equitable solution.
Councilmember Haakenson said he would' have preferred to make a choice between options tonight;
however, staffs recommendations and prioritizations were not provided for Option #2. If this
information had been provided, possibly the Council would have made the decision. to utilize
unanticipated additional revenue to fund the $170,000 in building maintenance/repair. Regarding
Councilmember Van Hollebeke's suggestion, he preferred the budget be resolved now and an additional
tax addressed during the next year.
Council President Earling said Option #1 may be the option the Council ultimately chooses; however, the
Council expected to see a broader range of potential options than staff provided.
Annexation Sources/Uses
Mr. Housler said the packet included justification memorandums from staff. Council President Earling
.referred to the December 2 minutes, "For Mayor Pro Tem Earling, Mr. Housler said staff has been asked
to prepare justification for the staffing requested for the annexations that would be included in Friday's
packet. Mayor Pro Tem Earling suggested staff provide priorities for assigning 7-8 new staff members.
Mr. Housler suggested this be reviewed with Mayor Fahey upon her return and presented at the
December 9 Council meeting." He asked if the positions as listed on the agenda memo were in
prioritized order. Mr. Housler answered yes. Mayor Fahey explained the positions are listed in the order
they would be phased -in to best meet the needs of the, annexed areas as well as to address current
workloads.
Councilmember Myers suggested a detailed prioritization be provided by administration and the Human
Resources Committee at the special meeting on Thursday.
Councilmember Miller referred to the police to population ratio which will be reduced from 1.3 per
thousand to 1.25. Police Chief Hickok said he was comfortable with adding four officers this year. He
said he would be requesting two more officers in 1999 or 2000 to bring the ratio back to 1.3. He pointed
out if COPS Fast Grants continue, these officers are provided for at least three years at half the cost.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke asked the probability of the COPS Fast Grant continuing. Police Chief
Hickok said the Police Department has already applied to reserve two positions in 1999. He estimated
the program would continue into the year 2000.
Mayor Fahey pointed out that to maintain staffing ratios for public safety, the City must add the five
positions in the Police Department. Although other departments may only be requesting one employee,
their justification for providing services is equally as valid as the ratio of public safety officers to
citizens. She clarified eliminating one position in any department may diminish the level and quality of
service they provide.
Council President Earling requested any new information developed by the Human Resources
Committee be provided to the Council by 12:00 noon on Thursday. He also requested budget
prioritization be provided to the Council as soon as possible. Mayor Fahey said it would be available by
12:00 noon on Thursday, and earlier if possible.

Councilmember Miller said at the last budget workshop, he requested staff provide projections for
accelerating the Human Resources Plan for non -represented employees. Human Resources Director
Hunter said those figures would be presented to the Human Resources Committee tomorrow.
4. AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN CONDITIONAL SALES CONTRACT TO SELL
SURPLUS CITY PROPERTY LOCATED ON 80TH AVENUE WEST BETWEEN 182ND PLACE
SOUTHWEST AND 184TH STREET SOUTHWEST
Administrative Services Director Paul Mar referred to Exhibit 1, a vicinity map identifying the location
of the property. He explained this property was purchased in the mid -1960's for right-of-way as well as
utilities. The appraised price is $81,000; the sales contract contains the specific terms of the sale.
Councilmember Nordquist observed the same parties and the same sales representative were interested in
the property and asked if there was a requirement to open the sale of this property to the public. City
Attorney Scott Snyder replied there is no statutory requirement. The Council can determine whether to
negotiate or surplus real estate. The decision to use the negotiation method was based on several factors,
1) the property is not suitable for development (a ravine), 2) it is not accessible from any property other
than that of the developer, and 3) the Council has previously approved a subdivision which vacated a
portion of the City right-of-way contingent on the subdivision approving and developing another
alternative means of access so a planned line City right-of-way can access the property in the rear. The
Council originally authorized the appraisal and negotiation because there was no other buyer and by
surplussing the property, it was felt the City would receive less for the property.
For Councilmember Haakenson, Mr. Mar said staff considered whether there would be a future use for
this piece of property and has determined there is no other use. Mr. Mar said the appraised price is
$81,000; the sale price that has been negotiated is $100,000.
Mr. Snyder explained the City's previous vacation of property was right-of-way intended to access
property on the back side. This property was originally purchased as planned line right-of-way but due
to the terrain, a road cannot be constructed in this location. This action moves the unusable planned line
right-of-way to a place where it can be built at a better price by the developer. Although entering into a
joint agreement with the developer for a joint public/private project may have resulted in more money,
the Council felt that presented an improper appearance indicating the City had prejudged the subdivision
process because it would receive a profit from the subdivision. Therefore, a fixed price of $19,000 over
the appraised price was agreed upon.
COUNCILMEMBER HAAKENSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MYERS, TO
AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE CONDITIONAL SALES CONTRACT TO SELL
SURPLUS CITY PROPERTY LOCATED AT 80TH AVENUE W BETWEEN 182ND PLACE W
AND 184TH STREET SW.
For Councilmember Myers, Mr. Mar advised the proceeds of the sale would be placed in the General
Fund.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke observed this was a win-win situation—the City would receive 25%
more than the appraised value of a property which has little or no value to the City.
MOTION CARRIED.

5. ORDINANCE NO. 3171 AMENDING EDMONDS CITY CODE CHAPTER 2.10 ADDING THE
DIRECTOR POSITIONS FOR PARK AND RECREATION, PUBLIC WORKS, AND HUMAN
RESOURCES
Human Services Director Brent Hunter explained this is a request to amend Chapter 2.10 of Edmonds
City Code entitled, CONFIRMATION AND DUTIES OF CITY OFFICERS. The changes requested will
change the positions of Public Works Manager, Parks and Recreation Manager, and Human Resources
Manager to a director -level position. He recalled the Human Resources Study included several
organization changes including upgrading the Parks and Recreation Manager and Public Works Manager
to the director -level positions. The Human Resources position was upgraded in July with the adoption of
the Human Resources Plan. The proposal is to change these positions effective January 1, 1998, and the
cost ($15,180) is included in the 1998 budget. He noted this proposal was reviewed by the Human
Resources Committee in October. He asked that the Council also confirm the individuals in these
positions.
Councilmember Haakenson observed this was only a title change; the job descriptions would not change.
He noted the job descriptions were written as part of the Human Resources Plan.
Councilmember Nordquist expressed concern the agenda title did not reflect the action in the title of the
ordinance—appointment, confirmation and duties of the position of the Director of Community Services
as well as the Public Works Director, Parks and Recreation Director and Human Services Director. City
Attorney Scott Snyder answered public notice was not required as this was a legislative action. If the
Council wished, the agenda could be amended at this time.
Councilmember Haakenson noted the only way to make the other positions directors was to remove the
duties from the Community. Services Director. Mr. Hunter advised he would provide the Community
Services Director's job description to the Human Resources Committee tomorrow.
COUNCILMEMBER MYERS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN
HOLLEBEKE, THAT THE COUNCIL ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 3171 AMENDING CITY CODE
CHAPTER 2.10 ADDING THE DIRECTOR POSITIONS FOR PARKS AND RECREATION,
PUBLIC WORKS, AND HUMAN RESOURCES. MOTION CARRIED. The ordinance reads as
follows:
ORDINANCE NO. 3171 AMENDING THE PROVISIONS OF §§ 2.10.010(D), 2.10.027, 2.10.028,
2.10.036, 2.10.050 AND 2.10.055 RELATING TO THE APPOINTMENT, CONFIRMATION AND
DUTIES OF THE POSITIONS OF DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES, PUBLIC WORKS
DIRECTOR, PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR AND HUMAN SERVICES DIRECTOR
Council President Earling referred to the information provided to the Council regarding the Interlocal
Agreement from Cascade Performing Arts District and said it would be discussed briefly at the
December 16 Council meeting. As there are a number of issues that need to be addressed, action likely
will not take place until after the first of the year.
Councilmember Myers reported the Student Representative selection process for the first half of 1998 is
nearing completion. He noted Student Representative Andy Streit was on the varsity basketball team
which made it difficult for him to attend Tuesday Council meetings.
