3. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
FIF__ ance David Orvis, 21118 77h Place W, Edmonds, requested the Council adopt performance benchmarks in
12000 the 2000 budget. He said performance benchmarks could be very informative tools for the Council as
udget well as enhance morale of City staff and taxpayers. He recalled last month the Council was faced with
reducing costs in the 1999 budget; this would have been less difficult if the budget included performance
benchmarks. He displayed key results from the Multnomah County budget (available on -line) indicating
the percentage of roads in good condition and the time it takes to survey (which are both decreasing)
indicating budget priorities should include more funds for roads rather than surveyors. He referred to
another key result in Multnomah's budget, the average time it takes for the County police to respond to a
call, and said this would be a very good benchmark for Edmonds. As an example, he calculated the
number of employees per car in the City indicated the City has the highest number of employees per car.
He summarized performance benchmarks would provide the Council tools for setting budget priorities,
give taxpayers assurance that the City is operating efficiently, and provide recognition to City employees
who are performing well.
Mayor Fahey expressed her appreciation for Mr. Orvis' input, noting benchmarks were a second
component to Total Quality Management (TQM) and will be considered for 2000. She invited Mr. Orvis
to visit her office to provide any additional information he has. Mayor Fahey questioned the number of
employees per car benchmark he provided as an example. Mr. Orvis said this included only passenger
vehicles including police cars. Mayor Fahey commented the City does not have many vehicles other
than trucks. Mr. Orvis offered to provide the address of the Multnomah website.
Councilmember Plunkett asked if this was a can-do performance audit. Mr. Orvis answered, according
to the Evergreen Freedom Foundation, benchmarks are necessary before an audit is conducted to avoid
the expense of establishing benchmarks at the time of the audit.

Comp Plan Lora Petso,10616 237" Place SW, Edmonds, said she called the Planning. Department on January 31 to
designation confirm that the Comprehensive Plan had been amended to designate the Edmonds - Woodway High
or School property as residential and open space which staff said had not been done. She encouraged the
Edmonds- Council to ensure the designation is changed. She said the Planning Department indicated it would cost
Woodway g g g p
High hundreds of dollars and, if it could be done at all, would not be processed until next November. She
School encouraged the Council to move forward with the change in designation for five reasons: 1) it benefits
the Edmonds citizens, 2) it has no real cost to the City, 3) if a mistake is determined, it can be changed
again, 4) it would improve the legal position with the School District, and 5) the laws requires the
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code to be consistent. She also encouraged the Council to move
forward with the Community Facilities amendments. She encouraged this Council to act on those
amendments due to their awareness of the impacts of various facilities on residential property. She did
not want the neighborhood high school replaced with a use that had negative impacts.
Corm Al Rutledge, 7101 Lake Ballinger Way, Edmonds, referred to information he provided to City staff
reparation regarding warmer weather occurring in Alaska and the effect it had. He pointed out national weather
forecasts indicate storms usually occur on weekends and encouraged the City to be more prepared on
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. He reported the Kiwanis will host a speaker, Jim Curtis, Snohomish
County Prosecuting Attorney, on January 19, 1999.
GTE Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, Edmonds, referred to Item 11 on the Council Agenda
Wireless (Authorization for Mayor to sign lease agreement with GTE Wireless for mounting telecommunications
Lease
support facility on city -owned property) and said if this was approved, the Council would be in an
awkward position because the ADB has not yet finalized their decision on this issue and any appeal of
that decision is heard by the City Council. He questioned how the Council could consider an appeal in
an unbiased manner if they have already signed the contract. He recommended the lease agreement not
be approved until after the ADB decision appeal period. On another matter, Mr. Hertrich questioned
whether the City used the de -icing chemical during the recent snowstorms and whether there was a
record of this operation.
4. INTRODUCTION OF NEW STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE MEGHAN CROSS
Student Council President Haakenson introduced the Council's new Student Representative, Meghan Cross, a
Rep. junior at Meadowdale High School. He said her resume indicates she has a 3.9 GPA, has been a
counselor at several day camps, a teen educator, and participates in numerous sport activities. Ms. Cross
said she was excited to be here and hoped she would benefit the Council.
Mayor Fahey asked her why she was interested in the Student Representative position. Ms. Cross
answered youth often feel adults in the community don't care and thought this would be a good way to
represent her age group on issues that will affect them. Mayor Fahey encouraged Ms. Cross to call with
any questions and to participate in the discussion during the Council meeting.

11. AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN LEASE AGREEMENT WITH GTE WIRELESS FOR
MOUNTING TELECOMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT FACILITY ON CITY -OWNED PROPERTY
iTE Community Services Director Paul Mar recalled this item was presented to the Council on December 15,
ireless 1998. The Council took no action at that time and requested it be brought back to the Council tonight.
ase He said the lease agreement and the minutes from the December 15 Council meeting were included in
greement . the Council packet.
Councilmember Miller recalled Roger Hertrich's comments during the audience comments .portion of the
agenda regarding the Architectural Design Board's (ADB) pending decision. Councilmember Miller
expressed concern with authorizing the Mayor to sign the lease agreement without final approval from
the ADB, particularly in view of the Council's role in an appeal of the ADB's decision. Mr. Mar said in
1997, the Council approved a lease for Western Wireless and heard the appeal on the Western Wireless
facility in September 1998. He said this lease agreement, which is similar to the Western Wireless lease
agreement, includes conditions separating the City's action as a landlord executing a lease of property
from the City's role as a quasi judicial body making decision on appeals. He said this matter was
discussed thoroughly with the City Attorney before the Western Wireless lease was presented to the
Council in 1997.
For Councilmember Miller, Mr. Mar stressed there would be no construction undertaken by GTE
Wireless until the ADB process is complete and GTE Wireless obtains a permit.
Councilmember Plunkett asked the advantage of taking action at this time rather than waiting until the
permit is issued. Mr. Mar answered upon execution of the lease, GTE pays the City,$1,000 and if it
takes longer than 12 months to get a permit, GTE Wireless must pay another $500.
Councilmember Plunkett asked if Western Wireless' Conditional Use Permit (CUP) addressed the
"Christmas tree effect." Mr. Mar did not recall specifically. Councilmember Plunkett said the CUP may
have addressed what additional items could be placed on the pole. Mr. Mar agreed it may have.
Mr. Mar said this was discussed at the December 16 ADB meeting.
Councilmember Plunkett asked if the Council authorized the Mayor to sign the lease, was there the
potential for this decision to be in contrast to what the CUP intended. Mr. Mar stressed the CUP did not
state no additional antennas could be placed on the pole. If it had, staff would not be moving forward
with the lease nor would staff have encouraged GTE Wireless to co- locate on the Western Wireless
tower. He said GTE Wireless originally proposed their own tower 1/4 mile east of the Western Wireless
tower.
Councilmember Plunkett questioned the inference the Council may be presenting to the community and
the ADB by approving the lease before the permit is issued. Mr. Mar said there is language in the lease
agreement stating the Council's action regarding the lease is separate from the permit process. GTE
Wireless must also obtain a permit, a process that is separate from execution of the lease.
Mayor Fahey said the ordinance related to siting of telecommunications facilities includes language
encouraging co- location to diminish the number of sites that need to be established. Mr. Mar agreed the
ordinance encouraged co- location.
Mayor Fahey said the CUP provided to Western Wireless was specifically for their facility but did not
preclude other facilities obtaining a CUP to co- locate on their existing facility. She said the City
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
January 5, 1999
Page 6
Attorney has reviewed the lease and she was certain he would have alerted the City to any potential
conflicts. She said GTE Wireless needed some site control before spending additional funds to design
the installation. She said the lease merely indicates the property would be available to GTE once they
have completed the remainder of the process and obtained a permit.
Councilmember Nordquist referred to the December 15 minutes which state if any other antennas are to
be included, there would need to be another hearing. The Council was told that this issue would be heard
by the ADB on December 16. Councilmember Nordquist referred to the December 16 ADB meeting
minutes which indicate the ADB needed additional information and postponed their decision until the
next meeting. Councilmember Nordquist said the City Attorney concurred at the December 15 Council
meeting that another hearing would be required. He recommended the Council delay a decision
regarding the lease until the ADB makes their decision.
Mr. Mar referred to page 6, Section 19 of the lease agreement which states if the applicant does riot get a
permit, the lease is terminated. Councilmember Nordquist reiterated staff stated a public hearing would
be necessary. Mr. Mar agreed, pointing out the issue before the Council (authorization for the Mayor to
sign the lease agreement with GTE Wireless) as a landlord for the City was separate from the permit
process.
Councilmember Miller clarified this action was approval of an option to execute the lease pending
approval from the ADB. Mr. Mar explained this was a lease agreement that contains a condition that if
the leasee (GTE Wireless) does not obtain the necessary permits, the lease can be terminated. Mr. Mar
stressed no construction can take place locating GTE Wireless' box on City property or mounting an
antenna on the Western Wireless tower until all permits are obtained, which includes ADB approval.
Councilmember Miller clarified GTE Wireless was reserving space on the pole and their ability to co-
locate should their permits be approved. Mr. Mar agreed.
Council President Haakenson asked why this action was necessary now. Mr. Mar answered if he, as an
applicant, wanted to develop something on a property that was not his, he would obtain as much
assurance as possible that he could develop on that property before expending funds for technical
evaluations, architectural drawings, etc. Council President Haakenson asked if a public hearing was
necessary before GTE Wireless could locate their equipment and mount an antenna on the pole. Mr. Mar
answered GTE Wireless' proposal is before the ADB at this time. They were scheduled on the January 6
ADB agenda but did not submit their information in time so the matter was continued to the January 20
agenda if GTE Wireless' information is submitted by next week.
COUNCILMEMBER WHITE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN
HOLLEBEKE, TO AUTHORIZE THE -MAYOR TO SIGN THE ATTACHED LEASE
AGREEMENT WITH GTE WIRELESS.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke understood Councilmembers' concern that this may be "putting the cart
before the horse," but felt Mr. Mar had adequately explained that authorizing the Mayor to sign the lease
did not commit the City but only allowed the tenant to determine whether the space could be leased and
must still follow the established process to obtain a permit.
Councilmember Earling said although monopoles may be "aesthetically challenged," and that there may
be the assumption that approval of the lease placed a burden on the ADB or would influence the decision
regarding the permit, he was comfortable the Council could make a decision whether GTE Wireless
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
January 5, 1999
Page 7
should be allowed to co- locate an antenna -on the tower. He said the City Attorney would not have
allowed this to be presented to the Council if there was a conflict.
Council President Haakenson was disappointed this issue had not been. resolved before tonight.. He
agreed with Councilmember Earling that the Council would be able, if necessary, to hear an appeal and
separate the issues. He recalled Western Wireless' Conditional Use Permit specifically encouraged co-
location. He said GTE Wireless is proposing to co- locate on Western Wireless' pole because they
originally proposed their own tower 800 feet northeast and staff advised it would be more beneficial to
co- locate on Western Wireless' tower.
Councilmember Miller said his previous concerns have been adequately addressed by Mr. Mar and it is
legitimate for GTE Wireless to determine whether the site is available before proceeding with the permit
process.
Councilmember Plunkett agreed the Council would be able to make a decision in the future regardless of
the decision on the lease. Further, he was aware this item would not be before the Council if it had not
been approved by the City Attorney. However, he .preferred the ADB and permit process take place
before the Council made a decision regarding the lease.
MOTION CARRIED, COUNCILMEMBERS PLUNKETT AND NORDQUIST OPPOSED.
12. MAYOR'S REPORT
Driftwood Mayor Fahey reported on the Driftwood Theater's 40''' Anniversary celebration, which includes an exhibit
cheater illustrating the history of the Driftwood Theater, a collaborative effort between the Driftwood Theater
lnniv
and the Historical Museum. She encouraged the public to visit the exhibit, which will be on display at
the Historical Museum for the next few months. She congratulated the past and current members of the
Driftwood Theater and congratulated them on 40 successful years.
d Wg Mayor Fahey said the possible listing of Chinook Salmon on the Endangered Species List will be an
PP"" issue during 1999. She said the state is drafting a response and staff is spending a great deal of time
attending meetings and discussing the impact these responses will have on cities. She said the listing
will be another unfunded mandate that will impact the cost of nearly all capital projects. She said this
would be the first time a species was listed as an endangered species while people still have the ability to
hunt it. Fishing will not cease and improving the habitat for salmon will not necessarily be the solution
as long as people are able to diminish the stock before it reaches the habitat. She encouraged the Council
to pay close attention to this issue because unless it is a multi - pronged approach to the solution, cities
will pay a great deal to provide a partial solution.
13. COUNCIL REPORTS
Retreat Council President Haakenson expressed his appreciation for the working relationship with Mayor Fahey
Benda during the past year and looked forward to working with her again in 1999. He thanked Councilmembers
for their confidence by electing him Council President for 1999. He requested the Council provide
retreat agenda items as soon as possible. Additionally, he wished Councilmember Nordquist a happy
birthday on Thursday.
isioning Councilmember Van Hollebeke reported on the forum presented by Doyle Hyatt, sponsored by Edmonds
1_,_1 udy Alliance for Economic Development, proposing a visioning study for Edmonds. He said approximately
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
January 5, 1999
Page 8
80 -85 citizens attended the forum. If a decision is made to move forward with a study, it will be a citizen
driven project and citizens are encouraged to participate.
Council President.Haakenson asked Councilmember Van Hollebeke to clarify the 'visioning process" for
the audience. Councilmember Van Hollebeke said this would be an opportunity for citizens to describe
what they would like to see in the near term future and the process would be revisited periodically to
ensure development is on track and to determine whether the direction has changed. He said the focus
would be primarily economic development in the City.
Councilmember Nordquist congratulated Council President Haakenson and Councilmember Van
Hollebeke on their appointments. He thanked Council Assistant Jana Spellman for the commendable job
she does. He looked forward to working with Mayor Fahey in the coming year.
dange Councilmember Earling requested a presentation regarding the salmon listing be scheduled for an
Species upcoming Council meeting to assist citizens in better understanding the challenges that the City may be
facing and the cost impacts. Mayor Fahey said Everett has done a phenomenal job of taking the lead in
this process and information they provided at a recent meeting could be used in such a presentation.
14. EXECUTIVE SESSION REGARDING A REAL ESTATE MATTER AND LABOR
NEGOTIATIONS
At 8:10 p.m., Mayor Fahey recessed the Council to Executive Session regarding a real estate matter and
labor negotiations estimated to take 20 minutes. The Council would adjourn immediately following
Executive Session as no action was anticipated.
