FROM: Laura M. Hal
Mayor
SUBJECT: 1994 Council Retreat
DATE: February 15, 1994
I have discussed possible agenda items for the 1994 Council Retreat on March 18 with my
Cabinet members. Several worthwhile ideas were brought forth, and I would like to share
them with you for possible inclusion on your agenda.
1. Citizen Survey
In 1986, a four -page survey was sent out to all residents in the City. The survey covered a
variety of topics, including budget, public safety, general services, planning, and taxation. Is
it time for another survey? If so, what would be the focus of the survey? Were the 1986
survey results worthwhile in terms of malting a difference in the policy and vision of the
City?
A copy of the 1986 survey questionnaire is attached, along with the costs associated with it.
2. Review of 1990's Goals & Vision
In the early 1980's, City Council put forth goals and objectives for the 1990's, entitled Our
Dream for Edmonds 1990. (A copy is attached.) Would you be interested in reviewing this
document and updating for the year 2000?
What is the citywide goal? Mission statement?
3. The C11y Balance Sheet --How Can It Be Improved?
Should we take the additional 3%❑ property tax and 114% real estate tax to build up funds for
future property acquisition and/or project funding? (i.e., old Woodway Elementary, etc.)
4. Cily of Edmonds Economic Development Council
Who, why, purpose?
5. Long Range Flans for Annexations

1 J8S Edmonds Citizen Survey
Dear Resident:
You are one of two thousand Edmonds Citizens randomly selected to participate in
a 1986 Edmonds Citizens Survey.
Our last Citizen Survey in Edmonds was over 10 years ago. If the City is to
continue to effectively manage your tax dollars, we need to update citizen
information and opinions. The first part of the Survey is informational and explains
your City's revenue sources and expenditures. The Survey covers several
categories: Budget, Public Safety, General Services, Planning and Taxation.
On behalf of myself, the City Council and Staff, we appreciate your participation in
this survey. Your answers are confidential and important to us. Information from
this survey helps us in making decisions more meaningful, annual budgets more
efficient, and enables us to provide those services that are more important to you.
If you would like to call me and discuss this survey, please feel free to do so.
Once you have completed the survey, just fold and insert in the postage -paid
envelope enclosed. Please return it within SEVEN DAYS OF RECEIPT.
Sincerely,
CITY OF EDMONDS

Tile Strectscape imprnvement Guidelines follow from roa nimendminns by OW I-Iighway
99 Ta* Force to develop a long range plan based on community input for L. ighway 99_
One species Task Force reeomntendatioa was to "abiiah consistent developmeim
standards and design guidctirncs for physical improvements along tf a liiQliway 99 corridor.
The Fligh-way 99 Strectscape Improvement Guidelines coordinate the disparate zoning
deyciopment standards along the highway as it enters differing jurisdictions. The
guidelines are intended to fiulher the w-bara design goals and vision described by the
Ifthway 99 Task Force. The guidelines do not act a particular styie or design theme, but
rather establish a greater sa= of quality and unity in conformance with Bghwav 99's
economic role in the region.
FUSTORY
The IAighway 99 Strectscapc Lrtprovement Guidelines project is another in a series of
actions taker_ toward realizing the goal Of improving the irnage of Lhe Highway 99
corridor. The area of this project extends from the King/Snohorrdsh County line north to
-the Mukilteo Speedway (SR 525) which is a distance of apprwdmately 7 miles and
extends across the jurisdictions of Lynnwood, Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace and portions
of unincorporated Snohomish County. .
Recer"t actions to "Wrove the charWtr Of IfI21 vay 99 begin witfr .lze formation of the
Highway 9? Task Ford in 1987 as a cooperative effort botw= the cities of Edmonds,
Lynnwood, Ufouwdake Terrace, Snohomish CoGrtty and Business and property owners
along the highway between 205th and 144th Streets. The original goal of the Task Force
Was to develop a comp: c-hcn_sive long-range plan based on community input to stimulate
and promote economic developmeU alw.g the business corridor.
During the process of exploring alternatives to ialprove the corridor the Task Force came
to include public officials From the four jurisdictions, representatives from public agencies
with interests within the corridor, South Snohomish County Chamber; Snohomish County
Economic Development Council and residents within and adjacent to 11ighway 99. With
the assistance of an urban designer the Task Force over a period of two y cars produced
and pubEchod a docuni-eat titled tho 11ighway99 Baseline Report in 1980. The Baseline
Report dczcribed a vision of Mghway 99 ►rt the year 2000 and included three (3) sets of
recommendations for improvements to the roadway. The vision described in the UmMine
Report included the following statements:
. . 1. The business community has cxpaaWud and the volume of trade has increased.
2. A strong visual image has developed ir. the area, created by development guidelines
for properties fronting onto Highway 99. A continuity in the appearance of the
commercial district results from the consistency of regulations of landscaping and
other architectural features.
3. Local governments have implemented measures to mitigate the negative impacts of
growth (extreme traffic congestion, for example) upon the nearby uses.
4. Stands of mature trees have been protected, and remain along Highway 99.
S. Navigation within the study area is made easier since methods of locarional
orlentation (such as signage ands landmarks) have been enhanced within the area. -
6. Traffic diversion devices, one-way streets and cut -do -sass (non -through streets)
have been installed whit needed or. residential streets bordering Highway 99, "
eliminating disruptive and welcome through and =nmercial traffic in the residential
areas.
7. Roadway visibility liar. been improved try the installation of suffiCicnt street lighting.
8. Pedestrian safety has increased with the installation of additional pedestrian
facilities.
9. Utilities have boar. installed undeigr ound, reducing the number of poles and the
amount of overhead wiring along Highway 99.
10. Traffic controls have resulted in as smooth and efficient traffic flow as possible on
Highway 99.
The purpose of the Basdine Repast was to "serve as a basis for development of a
Highw-ay 99 NWEer Plan; a united, single zoning plan for the study area." The Baseline
Report contained three sets of recommendations for improvements to Highway 99. The
recommendations addressed marketing and image improvements, development Standards
for physical improvements, and guidelines for improvements to the roadway. This project
follows from the rocommondation to develop guidelines to effect physical improvements
along the Highway 99 corridor.
1,N7ERLOCAL AGREEMENT
In 1990 era Intodocal Agreement was signed by the Cities of Lynnwood and Edmonds and
snohornish County to contribute $5,000 each to hire a consultant to prepare a plan for
landscaping and other streetw4e features along FAghway 99_ The Makers, an
architecture and urban design firm was sttected to prepare landscape and streetscapc
irmproveam t guidelines and a master plan for the Highway 99 corridor.
2
ELIGMVAY 99 TASK FORCEIADWSORY CONQ&TTLE
A new Highway 99 Task ForcdAdvisory Committee avfks formed at the t--ginning of this
project. This group co[tsists of members of the original Highway 99 Task Force plus city
officials, representatives of p'ablic agencies. business and property owners and residents
interested in providing input and guidance into development of the guidelines and master
plan. The Task Force,'Adviaoty Committee 6s rod ten tiracs during the course of this
project and has provided valuabla input and guidance.
PROCESS
At the beginning of the process to develop the design guidclirxes the men. bets of the
Highway 99 Ta-gk ForcclAdr:sM Committee was asked to cyaluate a variety of
strcctscape images along Highway 99 and other sirrOar arterial streets using photographic
slides and judge which images they preferred. The images generaEly rated l chest by the
Task Force Showed curbs and sidewalks, street tress and landscaping, along the highway, -
They also preferred images that showed buildings acmcwhat closer to the street, less
parking bctwer. buildings and the street; ar'td buildings with architectural character. The
buildings with architoctural Character were not necessarily examples of fine architecture,
but had features that gave the building, a pgsitivc identity such as "K-Mers Corner" an old
and historic gas station and general store at 164th St. SW. A summary of the Stfrrtscape
InTas-e Survey is contzined in 11to Appendix.
nc l-lauhway 99 Task 1~orcelA.dvisery Committee agreed on a mission statement to help
provide focus during the Course of th<s project. The fallowing mission stwernant ryas
adopted by the Task Force:
To dcvelop a long range master plan and devticprnent guidelines, as envisioned in
the highway 99 Baseline Report and to guide development along Highway 99
bctwe a the King/Snohonush Co. tine and the Mukhteo Speodway. To promote
the iMplementation of the master plan by recommending the neccssa.ry code
changes and development standards corrunort to each particlpating jurisdiction
tiecded tv implement coordinated and controUed growth in the study area,
The Task Force/Advisory Conunittee reviewed several drafts of proposed domlopmcnt
guidelines prepared by the Makers, The Task Force was asked to "uate the guidelines
in terms of relative importanco using a rangy from one (1) fly an unimportant guideline up
to a flvc (5) fbr an important guldelitie. meriting appi:cation to all new development.
BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGHWAY 99
Highway 99 is a regional transportation corridor that Carries regional and local trains.
The highway handles regional commute traffic flow and also functions as a commercial
street that connects an Ocpanding and intensifyatg basinm district Most of the uses
along the corridor are auto oriented, however, there are a number of businesses that are
3
more local oriented which provide goods and services to a relative nearby market area.
The commercial area along the highway creates a linear boundary with the residential
areas on either side. This characterizes one of the important land use and site planning
issues along the Highway 99 corridor. Of the seven (7) miles of corridor there are nearly
ten (10) miles of edge where oomrnercaal zoning is directly adjacent to residential zoning
(single family and multifamily). Another characteristic results from on going development
and redevelopment along Ilighway 99 which continually juxtaposes new buildings and
sites developed to newer development standards next to older buildings and sites
developed to older development standards.
The Highway 99 Task ForWAdvisoq Committee generally felt that MShway 99 is
primarily an auto oriented environment and will probably remain so for some time:
However, there was recognition that people do walk to and through the corridor. People
walk from their cars to building entrances, between businesses and from their homes to
businesses and bus stops. With a greater rote for transit of some kind along the corridor in
the future, pedestrian fhcilides (sidewalks and walkways) will become increasing
important.
PROJECT AREA
The study area of the Baseline Report Included a 5.8 au'le stretch ofH'sghway 99 from the
King/Snohomish Co. line to 164th St. SiV and included property fronting on both sides of
the highway that generally defined the commercial strip. The current project boundaries
extend from the lGag/Snohonush County line north to the Mukiltco Speedway (SR 525), a
distance of about seven (7) miles. The width ofthe project area is somewhat nebulas at
this time, however, it czertalnly includes commercial and residential properties which front
oa Highway 99. The overall boundaries of the project area will need to be established
prior to the next phase of the project.
STREETSCAPE IMPR0'NT1Y .N'f'S
Improvements to the visual character of Highway 99 are accomplished by either the
Private sector through private development and redevelopment or by the public sector
through public improvement projects. The proposed deveopment guidelines are Intended `
to apply primarily to tho private senor and would be impiemented as property is
developed or redeveloped along the corridor. The overall effect of the guidelines would
occur over time and as properties are developed or redeveloped. As long as
redevelopment occurs the visual character ofNg m y 99 will gradually improve.
Improvements to the character of fighway 99 curl also occur within the wof way.
This includes irnprovelnents to the roadway; curbs; sidewalks and hand railing; street
landscaping; lighting; bus stops and shelters; above ground utilities and vaults; and traffic
control devices and signs. The greztenst inimediato iaqxovement to the stractscapc could
be acoarnplished within the highway right -of wq dwough a program of public
improvement projects. Thcsc improvements are primari y the responsibility of the public
!y
k
sector, however, it is passible for the private sector to initiate these improv tints through
the format;on,ofa local improvement district (LID).
Another Highway 99 improvement }project that is occurring at the same time is the
Higliwq 99 Roadway improvezkvnt Project hieing done jointly by the cities of Lynnwood
and Edmonds and Snohomish County. TW& project includas the widcn;ng of the roadway
to seven (7) lanes with a center tut n lane, curbs and sidewalks flora the KinglSttoliomish
County lino to 148th Street SW. Some of the guidelines concerning landscaping along the
highway include recommendations For improvements within the right -of -•way. it is
anticipatcd that thm improvements will probably not occur with the present roadway
project but will be included in Later highAmy improvement projects.
SCUM VATIC URBAN DESIGN CO, iCEt T
Even though the Highway 99 Baseline Report recommended that a -n=er plan be
developed for the study area, Given tlw scope of this project n schcmauc urban design plan
is proposed instead of a true matter plan.
Since the length of the ITaghway 99 from north Seattle to Everett is compos;d of a
somewhat cluiotic land use anj deSrclovinem pattern the proposed urban design plan
divides the lIltghway 99 corridor into differentiated areas to create �11 identity for the
project Brea udiferent from the rest of Hi#i,%vay 9% These arm include two'districts with
Stevens Hvsp"stal and Edmonds Community College as focal paints, regional arrd
neighborhood nodes at major intersections, linear area_-, between the nodesand districts
and one residential area. The intendon is to create areas of differentiation where the
character of development and land uses are different. -For cxatrplo, :he nodes at major
cross streets would be areas of morC intense, compact pedestri n oriented development
with good conaections to improved transit facilities located within the node. Linear areas,
which would constitute the largest lard area within the corridor, are located between the
districts and nodes would include more auto arientcd businesses with less intense
development than in the nodes and districts. Tf s organization of these areas should
pro%ide improved orientation for travelers to and Within The corridor
ASSUMPTIONS
The proposed Streetscape Improvement Gaidditsw and schematic urban design plan arc
based on the assumption that the roadway will be expanded to seven (7) lanes but not Trine
(9), that the existing pedestrian islands at the major intersections VAH not be removed, and
there will not be roadway grade separations at the moor intersections. Other assumptions
are that the proposed high capacity rail transit rots,.* mill not be located within the project
area and that Hgh occupancy vehicle (RO V) plates, if dcsgpWcd an Highway 99, will not
be added in addition to tho planned seven lane expansion.

Snohonuali County.
Recent actions to improve the character offlighvmy 99 be�gaa with the formation of the
Highway 99 Task Force in 1987 as a cooperative ef'Fort bcttit ccn the cities of Edmonds,
Lynnwood. Mountlake i errace, Snohomish County and business and property owners.
The gold of the Task Fot'ce was to develop a : omprehensive long-range plan based on
cotntn+anit. itiput to shnlult:te economic development along the I'aslnm Corridor.
With the assistance of an urban designer the Task Force ova a' period of two years
produced aftd published A document titled the Highway 99 Baseline Report in 1980. The
Baseline Report described a visio:► of Highway 99 in the year 2000 and included
recommendations for improvements to the corridor. This current project folio xis from the
recommendation to eievelop guidelines to effect physical improvements Oong the Big'
99 corridor.
HIGHWAY 99 TASK FORCEJADV15ORY COWJJrFfiE
A new Highway 99 Task Force/Advisoty Committee was formed at the begin, ing of tills
project. This group consists of members of the original Highway 99 Task Force plus city
officials, represe.-untivcs ofptablic agencies, business and property owners and residents.
The , Vfakcm, An architecture aiW orhatt design firm was selected to prepare landscape and
streetscape improvement guidelines and a master plan for the I-Eghway 99 corridor.
STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS
Impro-1cmettts to the visual daracler of Higilway 99 are accomplished by either thL
Private sector Ibrough private development and redevelopment or by the public sector
through public improvemer+t projects. The proposed development guidelines are intended
to apply primarily to the private sector and would be implemented as property is
developed or redeveloped along the corridor. The overall effect of the guidelines would
occur aver time and as properties are developed or redeveloped.
r
.mproVcments to the character of Highway 99 can also occur witd:in tlic right -of -way -
This ircludeq irnprovernents to 'he rond%vny; curbs, sidewalks and €land railing, strect
€andscapin,g, lighting; bus stores and shelters; utilities a;td "Uhs, and traffic control devices
and Signs.
Another fb8hway 99 impra%,ement project that is occurring at the same time is the
I'tighway 99 R()adway 1111provernent Project bang done jointly by :ire cities of Lynnwood
and Edmonds and Snafu, n 5h County. Tltis project includes the plamed widening of tile,
roadway to ,rven (7) lanes with a center turn lane, curbs and sidewalks froi n the
Kin8fSr1011QS1ish County line to 148th Street SW.
SCHEMATIC URBAN DESIGN PLAN
Silice the length of the Highway 99 from coon], Seattle to E,ocrett is c0s71p ase'd of a
somewhat c1'itotic Iand use and development` pat te rr:, the p�auc;sed urban des:vn plan
divide's the highway 99 zorridor into differentiated arcaa to an identity for the
ct projearea rlifferen: frti,n tale ro't of Highway 99, These Rreas include two distracts with
Stcvc fls Hospital and Edmonds Cot imunity College as focal Points, regicr,ai and
neighborhood modes at major ;nterscctions, linear areas between the nodes and districts
and ore residential area and are briefly described below:
REGIONAL NODES
Regional Nodes are proposed far the ;major lnterseciions of (220th St. Sll', -196th St.
Sly and SQL j?S} Reo, onit nodes would be centers ofhio�''c— int:-7sity dcvclopmcnt
and activity at major cross streets to create identity Points alogg the corridor. The
regional nodes would be pedestrian oriented places w�tIi an inter:onnected pedestrian
network and obvious connections to improved transit Facilities.
2. NEIGHBORHOOD [MODES:
Neig9-borlucvd nodes are proposed for the intcrseCttarls ❑f21Zsh 5t. SW t 745th 5t.
SW, and 156th St. SW. Dcvclopment within 1l>ese armwould be more intense and
`1124ct than in the linear areas between the nodes. It is anticipated that these areas
would include loco! oriented businesses and that bike and pedestrian access be
provided to nearby residential areas.
3. LINEAR AREAS:
Tile liacar a:-ea.S of the Highway 99 cor rider would be located between the districts
and nodes and would include more auto Oriented businesses and less utterse
development than development %v thin the nodes. Development in the linear areas
would be a continuation of the types of development and buslaesses already located on
Highway 99. These nearby residential areas would be buffered from businesses On the
highway.
4_ STEVENS HOSPITAL DISTRICT-
Stevens Hospital would be the fowl point of this district. The district would include
uses that are complemcntary with a hospital Such as medical cl.mics, health Care and
insurance ❑f lclu5, congregate care housing and others. The intention would be for the
hospital to have a greater presenrc on i-fighway 99.
5. EDMONDS COL\ImU YITy COLLEGE DISTRICT:
Edmonds Commtmity College would be the focal paint of this district. "the district
would also include the Lynnwood Golf Course, Post Office. South Snohorrush County
Courts, and Edmonds School District offices as the other major land Uses. The
intention would be for the Collage to have 4 greater presence and connection to
Highway 99.. "
6. 164TH ST. SW RESIDENTIAL AREA:
Within this area the intention is to encourage additional residential dc►rcIvpment as
infill in an area where existing residential uses already occur close to Highway 99_
HIGHWAY 99 TASK FORCE/ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBER 12/4/92
Attached for you review and comment is a reduction of a conceptual master plan for the
Highway 99 study area presented for discussion at the 11/18/92 Task Force/Advisory
Committee meeting.
In general the concept presented would be for nodes (areas of potentially greater
development intensity) to be developed along the corridor at key intersections and one
special district with Stevens Hospital as the focus. The nodes would be linked by
stretches of general commercial type development. The nodes and district could be more
pedestrian oriented places with some composed of more neighborhood oriented uses and
scale of development (e.g.176th St SW) and some with more community /regionally
oriented uses and development scale (e.g.196th St. SW). Each node could develop strong
connections to improved transit service along the highway. The stretches between the . .
nodes and district would continue to be the location for more auto oriented uses, however,
pedestrian improvements would also be encouraged. One section of the highway north of
168th St SW and Keeler's Corner could be encouraged to become a predominantly
residential area taking advantage of views to the west and the lack of existing large scale
commercial development along the highway.

CITY OF EDMONDS
Memorandum
of
Understanding
Edmonds
Multimodal Transportation Center
November 5, 1993
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
The Washington State Department of Transportation, Community Transit
and the City of Edmonds recognize that:
a. In downtown Edmonds, a conflict exists between ferry traffic, rail traffic, regional auto and pedestrian
traffic, all occurring in a confined area and at the same grade. This conflict interrupts the efficient
movement of people and goods, prohibits access to a variety of necessary transportation modes, creates
an unsafe situation for all users of the highway system, as weft as the general public and pedestrian
movement, and stymies the economic development of the Cityss downtown.
The ferry system's existing terminal is becoming inadequate in its ability to handle today's ferry demand.
The existing single -landing -slip ferry terminal has a limited function due to its structural conditions and the
need for two ferry landing slips. Further, walk-on passengers must load on the car deck before or after
autos due to the lack of a separated loading facility. This poses operational difficulties, and there is also
concern about ADA compliance. The SR 104 extension at the existing terry terminal splits the Citys
extensive regional waterfront park(mcluding recently acquired properly), which is designated as a marine
sanctuary. The existing train station does not meet ADA standards and needs structural upgrading. There
is no viable bus transit center to adequately service (he connectivity and integration demands of the other
transportation modes-
b. Development of a multimodal transportation center along the downtown/waterfron(of Edmonds is
the focal point for increasing the capacity and improving the movement of people and goods 1) along one
of the State's important and unique highways, State Route 104, 2) on the region's most traveled railroad
corridor with proposed intercity and commuter passenger service, 3) connecting 101from a regional transit
system that utilizes two significant interstate highways, and 4) along the region's public transportation and
bikeway routes.
The following are the elements of a multimodal transportation center that serves the system needs in
Edmonds_
a ferry terminal that meets the operational requirements to accommodate forecast ridership
demand, that has two landing slips, and that separates the auto and walk-on passenger loading.
a train station that meets the intercity passenger service and commuter rail loading
requirements, and provides the requisite amenities such as waiting areas and storage.
a transit center that meets the local bus system and regional transit system loading
requirements.
a connectivity or linkage system between these slationsnerminals (hat meets the operational
and safety requirements of each mode, and to the business/commerce center in downtown Edmonds.
safety features including grade separation between train traffic and other modes of travel,
particularly the vehicle and passenger ferry traffic as weft as the general public.
c. A preliminary feasibility study, completed in 1992, concluded ih-v the Point Edwards site is viable for a
relocated ferry terminal, assuming environmental conformance and a feasible financial plan that will fund
the required development.
As signatories to this Memorandum of Understanding(MOU), the Washington
State Department of Transportation, Community Transit and the City of
Edmonds agree to cooperatively participate in and positively achieve the
following activities to develop the Edmonds Multimodal Transportation
Center(EMTC): -
1. Repeal the current Washington State Transportation Commission Resolution
No. 421, dated 21 May, 1992 and City of Edmonds Memorandum dated 20 May,
1992(4:00 PM) and replace said declarations with the shared values outlined in
this MOU,
2. As soon as practical, convene a steering or advisory committee consisting of
representatives from the signatory agencies, as a minimum, to provide the
common policy direction for and a separate technical committee undertaking and
completing the various project stages referred to in this MOU;
3. Formulate necessary near -term and appropriate intermediate upgrades to
facilities and services at locations associated with the various transportation
modes, ensuring consistency with the long term project goals;
4. Formulate a work program for the planning and engineering efforts necessary
to develop near term, intermediate and long term plans for the EMTC, including
systems evaluation required to effectively co locate and connect the various
transportation modes;
5. Provide sufficient and comprehensive consideration to the land use,
transportation, recreation, economic and environmental impacts of short term,
intermediate and long term solutions for the EMTC, including participation in
public meetings and hearings; and
6. Coordinate efforts to secure the funds necessary for the
planning/engineering, design and construction costs of the EMTC, including
leveraging knpwn existing funds with new funding sources.

Arlington poised for rapid growth
FEBRUARY 4-10.1994
Possible annexations, good residential and industrial prospects are feeding the local optimism
By JOHN WOLCOTT
Arlington, a Snohomish County commu-
nity of 5.000 people set amid a scenic
realm of pastum land and fishing streams
with a Cascade mountain range backdrop.
appears deceptively quiet and peaceful.
Only 15 miles north of Everett and 45
miles from Seattle, this ono -rural town
now seems positioned for rapid rmsidential,
retail and industrial development over the
next few years -
"I used to think of Arlington as being
way out in die country. Now it seems to be
right by everything,"• says City Administra-
tor and former Adhow Airport manager
Liam Myert-
Hew buducs es are slowly moving into
Arlington's downtown commercial district,
new industries arc investigating the air-
port's leased facilities and an expansion
area of the air field's industrial park land is
ready for rot rLmang.
To Mycm airport manager Don Bakken
and local real estate agents, the area defi-
nitely seems on the verge of accelerated
gam.
"We export this to be a banner year for
residential real estate. particularly because
of the Glen Eagle golf -course community
being developed southeast of town." Myers
says- "Now tree to four more housing'dc-
velopments arc nearing the permitting
stage, including a mobile horse park." -
Glen Eagle already has more than 300
homes built in a community that's on its
way to becoming a 1.200-home residential
center by 1999. Nine holes of its Igfiok
Professional Golfer Association course are

RE: Space Needs for City Hall Development -Council Retreat Item
In preparation for the upcoming City Council retreat, I have assembled the most
recent staff efforts on the Space Needs study.
As a followup to the September 13, 1993 Committee of the Whole meeting, staff
clarified the methodology used by the consultant to generate the per square foot
costs on the new City Hall(see attached blue document). At the January 11,
1994 Community Services Committee meeting, staff was requested to provide
cost data on the recently completed Lynnwood Civic Center Justice Facility.
This is provided in the attached pink document.
Last fall, Mayor Hall requested each department director to review its location
preference; the results of this effort are summarized in the attached green
document. At that time, each director was also asked to review the space needs
to determine if there could be reductions due to sharing/consolidating certain
uses. The attached goldenrod table and CADD drawing show that, in a scenario
wherein all departments are on a single campus, the future space needs could
be provided in approximately 66,000 square feet.
As a followup to the September 13, 1993 Committee of the Whole meeting, staff
was also requested to provide an inventory of commercial buildings and sites
that could be potential locations for City offices. These are provided in the
attached beige document.
At the March 8, 1994 Community Services Committee meeting, the topic of
design/build was discussed as a possible method for developing the new City
Hall complex in a cost effective manner. The attached gray document provides
a brief comparison of design/build to other procurement methods. Information
on City indebtedness limits and the fiscal impacts of several bond alternatives
are also attached (white pages at end of packet)
As a suggestion, discussion of the space needs at the retreat could address the
following questions:
1. Given the vision of Edmonds in 20 years, is the current Civic Center complex
the appropriate location for City Hall? If so, why? If not, why not and where
should City Hall be?
2. What is the maximum that the City should invest in a new City Hall? How
should this investment be financed?
3. How should the current Public Works Facility site(Second and Dayton) be
utilized to attain the long term solution for City Hall?(bldg has 3,900 sf office,
10,200 sf of shop and crew space; site is 1.22 acres)
4. Assuming that a new City Hall project will not be implemented before the year
2000. how much should be invested at the current complex to comply with ADA
and seismic requirements and correct the' space shortage that exists.

RE: Clarification of Project Cost Estimates for City Hall Space
Needs Study
As a followup to the City Council Committee of the Whole meeting of September
13, 1993, 1 met with members of the Arai/Jackson consultant firm to get
clarification of how the 0$200 per square foot" cost estimate was derived. As you
recall, A/J estimated a total project cost of approximately $18 million for a new
93,856 square foot City Hall complex at the existing civic center site.
The $18 million total cost includes the project cost for demolition work at the
current site, site development work; and constructing a parking structure, a city
hall building and a fire station. The demolition and site work costs were derived
based on an estimated scope of work and total $373,219 and $1,481,393,
respectively. The parking structure cost was based on a certain sized garage,
with a total project cost of $1,592,937.
The City Hall building was sized at 79,184 square feet. The per square foot
building cost was derived based on the assumed building elements and a two
story configuration. Escalation and soft costs were then added to arrive at a per
square foot project cost of $161.78. Likewise, the 14,672 square foot fire station
was estimated at a $146.08 project cost per square foot.
The attached table shows, in detail, how each component was estimated. The
total project cost to accommodate the 93,856 square foot space needs, including
demolition, site work, a parking structure, city hall and a fire station, is
$18,401,577. Mathematically dividing this cost by the 93,856 square feet results
in a overall $197.48 per square foot project cost.
Please let me know how you would like this information to be communicated to
the Mayor's Cabinet and City Council.

meeting. He asked that staff obtain data on the recently completed Lynnwood
Civic Center Justice Facility.
The City of Lynnwood purchased an existing 18,000 square foot building,
remodeled that facility and constructed a 6,000 square foot addition. Total
project cost was $4,588,561, or $191.19 per square foot.. Exhibit 1, attached,
shows the details of this cost. The information was provided by Mike Caldwell,
Executive Administrative Assistant(670-6615), and Bob Dixon, Project
Coordinator, Engineering(670-6639).
I have also included, in Exhibit 2, the consultant's cost estimates for a new
Edmonds City Hall complex at the civic center site; this information was provided
to the Committee on January 11, 1994.
The comparative costs of these two projects are summarized here:

EXHIBIT 2
TO: MAYOR LAURA M. HALL
FROM: DEPARTMENT MANAGERS
TOPIC: SPACE NEEDS REVIEW
LOCATION PREFERENCES
DATE: September 29, 1993
FIRE DEPARTMENT:
Administration- The fire department's administration staff first
preference would be to be located in the same complex with the mayor's
office and other administrative staff. I believe this would provide
continuity in managing the city and the fire department. An option to this
is to be located in a fire station in the Edmonds Bowl area.
Fire Station: A fire station needs to be located in the Edmonds Bowl
area. This is true for all scenarios regarding the future fire service for the
residents of the city. The location of the fire station should have the best
access possible to travel both east to west and north to south. This would
mean taking advantage of the existing street network. I also believe public
acceptability must be considered in any final decision. My first preference
would be to have a fire station along 9th. Avenue between SR524 and
Walnut Street. This would take advantage of 9th. Avenue for north to
south responses. Arterial streets such as Main Street, SR524, 220th. Street
S.W., and SR104 would be utilized for east to west responses.
My second preference is to keep the station at the existing site even if 6th.
Avenue N. were to be vacated for a new city hall. This site has a high
acceptability by the public and access, although not as direct as my first
preference, is doable and familiar to the staff. My third preference would
be the existing public works site. This site would have good access to
SRI 04 and Third Avenue for good response to the south or up SRI04.
Response to the north would be hindered by having to go through the
downtown. Response easterly would be by way of Dayton Street and Main
Street ,which are congested intersections during busy hours. This location
is not recommended because the station would be at the westerly end of
the city's service area and further down hill than the other options.
C.E. 'kZ�'BUZALSKY, FIRE CHIEF
POLICE DEPARTMENT:
Administration- The police department's administrative staff needs to be
located with the rest of the law enforcement personnel in the same complex.
This may require the administrative staff to be located away from the other
city administrative staff if the police station is not part of a city hall complex.
Police station- The location of the police department complex should have
high visibility and ease of access for the public. Generally speaking, the
station could be located at many locations from the Five Comers area to the
SRI04 vicinity. My fast preference is to be located at the existing site, if
space allows. My second and third preferences are the present public works
site and the Harbor Square complex, respectively. Both these sites provide
high visibility and good access. Any site must include secure parking and
prison transfer area. Parking availability for city vehicles, employees, court,
and visitors is important.
Court- The court administrative personnel and the courtroom should be in the
same complex with the police department. I expect the new Court
Administrator would prefer to have the court staff and the court room on one
floor. Police records and court records should be accessible and in close
proximity to each other due to the shared information needs for court and
police. There should be direct, non-public access, from the police detention
area to the court room for security reasons. This would greatly improve
efficiency over the current system and there could be a possible saving in
space requirements with proper utilization and overall costs.
Administration- The administration as well as the other department
activities for utility billing, data processing, and accounting needs to be
together because of interactive functions and in the same complex with the
mayor's office. I would prefer to be in the Edmonds Bowl area and on the
fust floor in order to continue the ease of service we provide the senior
citizens. As long as the finance department is in the same complex with
the Mayor and the personnel office, location is not a high priority.
City Clerk The city clerk's office needs to be in the same complex with
the mayor's office and finance administration. The city clerk should also
be on the first floor for ease of access for the public. The location in the
city for the city clerk's office is probably more critical than the rest of the
finance department. Ease of access and visibility is important.
�—,I'�'IAIT HOUSLER,FINANCE DIRECTOR
Administration- The administration functions need to be in the same
complex as the Mayor's office and preferably with engineering and planning.
These functions can, however, be located away from the department's
divisions either in the same complex or separate nearby buildings.
Engineering & Planning- The engineering and planning divisions need to be
together to continue the 'one stop' permit system in the city and to provide
responsive coverage at the front counter for the public. I would prefer these
divisions be in a central city hall complex with the administrative staff. If at a
separate location, a highly visible and easily accessible site for the public
needs to be chosen.
Public Works- The public works division can operate as planned at the new
site. Facilities Maintenance should ultimately relocate at the new public
works site. In the meantime, Facility maintenance will remain at their current
site in City Park.
Recreation- The recreation division can continue to operate out of the
Anderson Center. Grounds Maintenance can continue to operate a their
current site at City Park. In the long term, they should relocate to another site
in the "bowl", i.e.: the current public works site at 2nd. avenue and Dayton
street.

MEMORANDUM
December 17, 1993
TO: Bob Alberts
FROM: Paul Mar
RE: Inventory of Potential Buildings and Sites to Accommodate a
City Hall
As a follow-up to the City Council Committee of the Whole meeting of September
13, 1993, staff has prepared 10 an inventory of "commercial" buildings with over
20,000 square feet of space and 2) existing single ownership lots greater than
2.5 acres in area.
The information was gathered using MetroScan and supplemented by our files
on known projects. I believe it is an order -of -magnitude accurate assessment.
Attached are these two tabulations_ There are 31 buildings and twenty lots in the
inventory.
Please let me know how you would like this information to be communicated to
the Mayor's Cabinet and City Council.

* Note: Property taxes are deductable from federal income taxes for those who itemize deductions,
thus further reducing the net cost to the homeowner. Further, seniors and disabled people whose
income is below a threshold ($26.000 in 1994) may apply to the county assessor for complete
exemption from these taxes.

Dear Tom:
I just received a copy
Governor's Conference
copy of the Conference
Government".
January 19, 1994
of the final report on The Annual
on Economic Development. I am enclosing a
findings regarding "Customer Friendly
I think you will find that several of the issues are also most
appropriate for Edmonds. Of particular note are the problems
relating to lengthy permitting processes, contradicting
regulations, or regulations that deter business, and the
inability of government to strive for a positive "yes" as opposed
to a "no".
I believe that the creation of our "Economic Improvement Council"
would be instrumental in addressing adverse conditions, and
recommending solutions that encourage a positive relationship
between business and the local government.
I know your beliefs regarding this subject, and I thought you
would appreciate the conclusions of the conference.

Customer -Friendly Government: Summary
These recommendations include ideas for streamlining regulations, the state's
role as expediter and coordinator, the need for consistency, incentives, and the
economic impact of regulations and taxes.
One participant suggests the establishment of a Governor's "strike force
committee" that would "work with local governments, private business and
other entities that encounter an impasse on any economic development issue.
The purpose o f committee would be to resolve con flictfrom the Governor's level.
However, several comments warn against "sacri facing environmental protec-
tion in the name of streamlining. Streamlining government is needed, but the
day's theme is economic development and environmental enhancement."
Regarding taxes, one participant says "don't tax so heavily at the state level to
preclude willingness of localities to levy taxes for infrastructure." Other
participants ask the state to "create incentives for Washington industry to
remain in Washington" and to "make sure any new taxes do not put Washing-
ton business at a disadvantage. State taxes imposed on services and goods sold
out o f state actually penalize these businesses for developing jobs in our state."
Consistency
■ Government must recognize the importance to industry of an overall business
environment that is predictable and offers certainty.
• Coordinate regulation. Government factions don't have complimentary regulations
and it drives business/developers nuts.
• Cut regulatory red tape! Lengthy and sometimes contradictory permitting processes
are a huge disincentive to business location/expansion.
• Regulations are worse than taxes. You can usually figure the taxes out with some help.
Regulations are hard to figure out and just as hard to find.
• Consistent regulatory approaches. Streamline permitting process.
• Regulations need to be consistent across regulatory agencies. Small businesses face
many regulations, many of them conflicting.
• Encourage ESD, L&I, and Dept. of Revenue to use the same criteria for judging who is
an employee versus who is an independent contractor.
Streamline / Expedite / Coordinate
■ "Hassle Free In '93" from regulatory agencies.
• State agencies, and local ones, too, can be very frustrating to work with. We wantthem
to make an effective commitment to meet our needs as they arise. Help us get to "yes"
instead of "no." Often this requires better coordination between agencies.
• The most significant single action the government can take to promote environmental
enhancement and economic development is to streamline regulations to the point of
consolidating laws to those which are useful and can be implemented.
• Reduce/streamline government regulation of business.
• Streamline permitting process for businesses.
• Streamline regulations to assist businesses. We are getting more and more every year.
16
Streamline / Expedite / Coordinate
(continued)
• 1 suggest that a Governor's strike force committee be established to work with local
governments, private business and other entities that encounter an impasse on any
economic development issue. The purpose of the committee would be to resolve conflict
from the Governor's level.
• Consolidate and simplify reports required of small businesses.
■ When an industrial park is proposed, put permitting on fast track — time limit of twelve
months.
• Intergovernmental cooperation to get infrastructure/zoning facilitating new industry,
i.e., Boeing's Fredrickson site.
• Need to rationalize state agencies, and then implement mechanisms to better
coordinate those remaining agencies in the future.
*Assure DOE personnel have genuine experience in the world outside government
before placed in a position of regulating business.
Economic Impact of Regulations
• There should be an economic impact statement required before legislation is filed.
• Sound analysis of proposed regulations should be required with cost control carefully
monitored.
• An in-depth study of how regulations/over regulation effect business' ability to
maintain and create jobs is needed.
• We talk about making small business grow and expand our economy but we don't
analyze what particular legislation does to the competitiveness of those businesses:
A) mandatory leave bill; (B) cost to business of health care (we do not want universal
health care); (C) minimum wage increases; (D) worker compensation increases. Need an
eco-nomic impact statement on all legislation that will affect business and it's ability to
compete.
• Problem: Burden of government regulations. Regulations should be written with
consideration of economic impacts.
Solution: Tax reform. Coordination of taxation between local and county and state
entities — consistency of revenue stream classifications is needed.
• Government costs passed on to industry must be rigorously scrutinized.
■ Federal, state, and local agencies must quit charging for the same activities.
Taxes
• TAXATION — According to Bill Nothdurft's Washington Development Report Card,
Washington is 50th of the 50 states in tax fairness. ANY small business in this state is already
aware of that. DO NOT break our backs. Liquidation of 5,10,15 employee companies by
the hundreds will result. Education reform, health care reform, etc. It may be only a large
pizza but we're already grossly overweight as a state.
• Halt growth of state government; we can't afford to pay for it in taxes.
• Make sure any new taxes do not put Washington businesses at a disadvantage. State
taxes imposed on services and goods sold out of state put Washington businesses at a
disadvantage and actually penalize these businesses for developing jobs in the state.

Taxes (continued)
• Infrastructure will be built with local taxes. Don't tax so heavily at state level to preclude
willingness of localities to levy taxes for infrastructure.
• Lobby against the unfair BTU tax on both the aluminum industry and agriculture in
eastern Washington.
• Tax credits for local vendors selling to emerging companies (B&O, sales tax).
• To be competitive nationally, Washington needs tax and other incentives to offer
companies considering relocating. Otherwise, Washington is not competitive.

TO: City Council
FROM: Jeff Palmerr�'�"

City Councilmembers
SUBJECT: PROPOSED CITY NEWSLETTER
As was requested by the City Council, here is our recommendation
regarding a city newsletter.
It is our recommendation that the city provide monies in the 1994
Budget for the preparation, printing, and distribution of an
informational newsletter to our citizens. The purpose of the _
newsletter would be to provide detailed information on current issues,
planning, and projects, and could contain statistics, drawings, and
artists renditions of the subject matter. Announcements, Calls to
Service, new ordinances, and explanation of services would all be
appropriate subject material. Information that could be construed
"political or self serving" would not be appropriate subject matter.
Space of equal appropriation should be provided to each division,.as
well as common space for issues that cross many divisions such as
recycling.
The majority of each cover page likely will be devoted to current
issues as well as information from the office of the Mayor and
Council. The information currently distributed in a separate recycling
newsletter would now be merged into this vehicle. Our grant monies for
that recycling newsletter could be used to cover their part of the
cost, thus reducing the total cost of producing the newsletter.
It is our belief that such a newsletter will provide an invaluable
service to the community in enhancing the flow of information from the
City of Edmonds to citizens and back again.
We would anticipate the newsletter being published on a quarterly
basis, consisting of four pages, with distribution to all households
and businesses. The recycling content could cover up to 50% of the
issue. Costs are estimated to be $6,000 per issue.
We further recommend the City use the same person who currently does
our very successful recycling newsletter. It would be appropriate for
the coordination of the newsletter to be handled within the Community
Services Department, but there are other options if the Council desires.
Attached is a memorandum from our Council Assistant with information
she compiled regarding this subject. Also attached is the front page of
our recycling newsletter to indicate the quality of work, along with
the resume of the individual who does our recycling newsletter.

FROM: Barb Mehlert
Council Assistant
RE: NEWSLETTER INFORMATION
I have talked with Steve Botkin, who does newsletters for several
cities, including Mountlake Terrace, DesMoines, Auburn, Fircrest,
Sumner, Dieringer School District, as well as recycling newsletters for
cities of Lynnwood and Edmonds. In each case, the cities did not go
out for bid, but hired him directly.
Currently, Steve does the recycling newsletter for Edmonds at an
approximate cost of $6600.00. This includes everything from gathering
the information to delivering it to the post office already sorted
(example attached). The mailings are sent out postal patron at a cost
of .11t per copy. The recycling newsletter is sent out twice a year. I
called Steve Fisher, our recycling coordinator, and asked him if the
funds available to him through the recycling grant could be directed to
a city newsletter if the newsletter was to contain recycling news.
Steve said yes! Steve said if the city's newsletter contained
approximately 50% recycling news, then he could pay for 50% of the
total cost (same thing - if the newsletter contained 10% recycling
news, he could pay 10% of the total cost). He seemed very receptive to
the idea because the monies he did not spend on a recycling newsletter
could be spent on other recycling projects. He said he doesn't really
like to spend the entire $6600 on a newsletter, especially since he
can't measure the effectiveness. The next recycling newsletter is due
to be processed in October, but he said he would hold off if there is a
chance the Council would allocate monies for a city-wide newsletter.
I have compiled various options for Council consideration regarding a
city newsletter, which are listed below.(Options are based on a four
page city newsletter with 2 colors, and are approximate costs.)
1. Produce a city newsletter, with Steve Botkin doing the entire
process, including collecting information, writing, editing, printing,
sorting, and mailing = $5500.00 (this accounts for $3400 in postage for
mailing to the official population of Edmonds whic-h is $30,970 at .11t
per newsletter. (currently, the cost of producing the recycling
newsletter accounts for mailing to 29,700 population, and is slightly
higher in price because of a more expensive type of paper used in the
printing process).
Advantage: The whole process could be done by one person outside
EXHIBIT 2
the city, with expertise in this area who who would not
be partial to any one city subject.
Disadvantage: Cost is rather high (but less than other sources I
checked on)
2. Add recycling information to city newsletter at 25% of content, and
the cost would be reduced to $4125.00 (recycling grant money would be
applied).
Advantage: cost would be lowered.
Disadvantage: recycling news would dominate the newsletter (which
really shouldn't pose any problems anyway since it is
community information).
3. Produce the newsletter as stated above, but have the newsletter
included in Enterprise instead of going through the post office:
$3200.00. (Steve Botkin charges approximately $200 to sort the
newsletters according to route, so that cost would be reduced).
Advantage: cost is significantly lowered
Disadvantage: circulation is 18,000, while our official population is
30,970.
4. Same as option #3 but have recycling information in newsletter at
25% which would bring the cost to approximately $2350.00.
Advantage: lower cost
Disadvantage: less circulation.
5.Have a staff member produce a newsletter similar to the one produced
by Lake Forest Park (attached). The cost would depend on the level of
pay the employee receives.
Advantage: with the many PC's throughout the city, a newsletter of
this type would not be difficult, and would save quite
a bit of money.
Disadvantage:The staff person might feel pressured or "politics" may
come into play on what appears in the newsletter.
Just as a matter of comparison, I called three different printing
companies and received quotes on their assistance in producing a
newsletter, but it was quite a bit higher than the price quoted by
Steve Botkin (approximately 5 to 10% higher in printing costs alone).
FREQUENCY OF NEWSLETTERS
On the average, the cities who do produce a newsletter either produce
it every two months or quarterly.
Please let me know if you need further information, or if I left
anything out. Maybe Steve Botkin could attend a council meeting to
answer more questions. I have attached his resume for your
information. oEc-

MEMO
July 26, 1993
TO: Dave Earling, Council President
FROM: Brent Hunter, Personnel Office
RE: CITY NEWSLETTER
Mayor Hall suggested I share the following information with you. Earli-
er this year, the staff also discussed a City newsletter. One of the
options discussed was a quarterly City Newsletter, which would be in-
serted in one of our local newspapers. I was asked to contact the
Edmonds Paper and the Enterprise to determine the cost of printing a 4
page tab insert. The cost estimates provided below are for a camera
ready, no color, stock paper insert. This means we would write the
newsletter and have it set up to be ready for printing before we give
it the newspaper. Additional colors are available at an extra cost. I
have also provided the circulation numbers for each newspaper. -
Edmonds Paper
Enterprise
$800-$850 per printing 10,500 circulation
$1185 per printing 18,000 circulation
The Enterprise circulation is for Edmonds residents only and is deliv-
ered to the individual households. The Edmonds Paper has limited circu-
lation to the household.
