4. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2008-2014 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
Assistant City Engineer Don Fiene presented the 2008-2014 Capital Improvement Program (CIP),
explaining the CIP was a long range planning tool, a spending blueprint that outlined capital
improvements given available resources. Most of the capital improvements in each fund were derived
from the Comprehensive Plan. He noted the Comprehensive Plan process includes input from staff, the
public and consultants as well as a scientific analysis and prioritization of projects. Projects include
physical improvements or replacement of City-owned infrastructure, development of new facilities and is
an ongoing process as needs, public support and priorities change.
Mr. Fiene advised the CIP was updated annually as required by GMA via input from six City
departments: Public Works, Community Services, Engineering, Administrative Services, Wastewater
Treatment, and Parks & Recreation. He provided a summary list of the funds, advising the spreadsheets
contained a detailed list of projects, revenues and cash balances, transfers in, grants, and balance for each
fund. Project descriptions for each project would soon be available on the City’s website that identified
the name of the project, the estimated cost, description, benefit/rationale, schedule, and cost. He
displayed and reviewed a sample project description for the Interurban Trail.
Fund 112 (Transportation) and Fund 125 (REET-2 Transportation)
Mr. Fiene explained these funds finance a wide variety of transportation projects including street
overlays, road improvements/widening, traffic signals, road stabilization, traffic calming, bikeways and
walkways. He reviewed sample projects including citywide overlays and a future walkway project.
Funding for transportation capital has improved from two years ago due to the Council’s allocation of
REET-2 funds over $750,000 for transportation beginning in 2006. However, there was a loss of $75,000
in Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax in 2006, $150,000 in 2007 and $150,000 in 2008 to operating funds. He noted
if the Olympic View franchise fees were allocated to the General Fund rather than transportation capital,
those funds could assist with overlaying Olympic View Area streets. New legislation allowing
Transportation Benefit Districts could bring in additional transportation funds.
Fund 113 (Multimodal Transportation)
Mr. Fiene explained this funds the Edmonds Crossing multimodal transportation project that would link
ferry, bus, pedestrian, bicycle, ridesharing and trains at the Pt. Edwards site.
Fund 116 (Building Maintenance)
Mr. Fiene explained the sole purpose of this fund was to maintain buildings owned by the City. Sample
projects include the senior center, City Hall, Frances Anderson Center and other City buildings. He
advised Fund 116 was entirely financed by the General Fund which had been impacted by I-747 and I-
695; therefore, grants are necessary for most projects. Funding was currently budgeted through 2008;
funding through 2010 and beyond was a concern as lack of funding could defer building maintenance.
Fund 125 (REET 2 Parks Improvement) and 132 (Park Construction-Grant Funding)
Mr. Fine advised these funded improvements of existing parks, development of new parks, beautification,
streetscape, library, trails, environmental protection/education, cultural arts improvements, pool
improvements, sports field improvements and waterfront improvements. Sample projects include Yost
Pool, 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor, an additional skate park and improvements to Marina Beach Park.
Fund 126 (Parks Acquisition)
This funds land acquisition as well as debt service on City Hall, library roof, and Marina Beach which
totals approximately $700,000 per year, approximately half the incoming funds. Sample projects include
waterfront property acquisition. Grants and outside funding are needed to assist with purchases.

Fund 129 (Special Projects - Economic Development
This fund was established to visually brand the area between 224th St. & 238th St. as the SR 99 Edmonds
International District. This would include installing decorative street lighting, installing way-finding
street signs, traffic safety improvements, enhance bus stops and construct streetscape/gateway elements.
Combined 412 Funds (Water, Storm and Sewer)
Mr. Fiene explained a rate study was conducted in 2005 and new study is planned for 2008. Minor
increases are expected over the next several years.
Fund 412-100 (Water)
Projects in this fund were identified in the approved 2002 Water Comprehensive Plan which will be
updated in 2008. The priorities are to improve fireflow, replace deteriorated pipes, replace 1% of City
pipes per year, and storage and control improvements. Sample projects include water line replacement/
improvements in the Perrinville area in association with the Olympic View Drive improvements.
Fund 412-200 (Storm)
Projects in this fund were identified in the 2003 Stormwater Comprehensive Plan; projects address
capacity problems, maintenance problems and environmental concerns. Sample storm projects include
the emergency North Stream project and the southwest Edmonds basin projects. He noted there were
virtually no drainage systems when the southwest Edmonds area annexed and approximately 3,000 feet of
drainage pipe /infiltration systems have been constructed in that area, primarily designed in-house and
constructed by Public Works crews. A large infiltration project is planned this year at the old Woodway
Elementary School site and a 1500 lineal foot storm project is under construction by Public Works crews.
Fund 412-300 (Sewer)
Projects were identified in the 2006 Comprehensive; priorities include maintenance issues, environmental
issues and capacity problems. He displayed examples of sewer projects including the
rehabilitation/replacement of Lift Stations 7 & 8 and the 7th Avenue North sewer main line project.
Fund 414 (Wastewater Treatment Plant)
This funds the replacement of worn machinery/equipment and controls in the wastewater treatment plant
including flow meters, outfall lines, and influent trunk lines. He displayed a sample project of the bar
screen replacement.
Mr. Fiene summarized the transportation capital funding was much improved. Fund 116 continues to rely
heavily on grants to meet project needs. The Public Works Director’s proposal to draw additional funds
from the General Fund in years 2010-2013 will assist if approved by the City Council. Other funds
appear to be meeting minimum needs.
Mr. Fiene relayed concerns raised at the Planning Board and staff’s response:
• Transfer of $917,500 shown going into Fund 116 from Fund 126 was not reflected correctly on
Fund 126 spreadsheet. This has been corrected and will be reflected as an expenditure in the 126
Fund on the spreadsheet for the final CIP.
• Check to see if REET transfer projections are too high. Staff checked the numbers from 2007
with the Finance Department and the estimates appear good.
• With the RTID vote failure, are the projections for Fund 113 accurate? The Community Services
Director relayed that the projections are current and have been adjusted.
• Request that Fund 116 problems be highlighted. Staff highlighted local funding problems and
necessity of grants and problems that would occur if maintenance is deferred.

• Reflect grant funding secured for the Olympic View Drive & 76th Ave W. emergency project.
This has been reflected in the CIP.
• The Planning Board expressed support for Transportation Benefit Districts.
• Concern that there is no capital fund for the Edmonds fiber network project. The Administrative
Services Director is working on the CIP for this fund and the CIP will be amended to reflect the
fiber optic program later this year when relevant studies and details are completed.
Staff recommends and encourages comments and feedback from Council and the public at the public
hearing and recommends the Council direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance adopting the updated
Capital Facilities Plan.
Mayor Haakenson relayed Councilmember Wilson’s question regarding the Senior Center Parking lot
improvements. Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh advised the senior center parking lot was
funded via a combination of funding sources, half from Fund 125 and hopefully half from a CDBG grant.
Councilmember Orvis asked whether the revenue from the sale of land associated with the PRD on 80th
was reflected in the CIP. Mr. Fiene answered the revenue from land was not reflected in the CIP.
Councilmember Orvis observed the CIP could be adjusted when that revenue was realized.
Councilmember Orvis inquired about progress on the Interurban Trail. Mr. Fiene answered progress was
slow; a quiet title action was required for a portion of the property. Mr. McIntosh advised the April 15
Council agenda would include a resolution to allow the Parks & Recreation Department to apply for an
RCO (formerly IAC) grant for $450,000. Receipt of that grant would allow construction on the
Interurban Trail to begin September 1, 2009.
Councilmember Wambolt asked about funds for overlays. Mr. Fiene referred to the Overlay Citywide in
Fund 125 REET 2, advising there was $550,000 in 2008 and $400,000 in 2009. He noted the only
overlays in Fund 112 were utility fund overlays. Councilmember Wambolt commented funding may be
problematic if it relied on REET. Mr. Fiene answered in his discussions with the Finance Department this
week, REET revenues were currently looking good. Councilmember Wambolt pointed out his discussion
with Administrative Services Director Dan Clements indicated REET revenues were projected to be only
$800,000 in 2008. Mr. Fiene noted REET revenues for 2007 totaled $1.4 million, including fairly good
revenues for the last half of 2007. Councilmember Wambolt recommended staff confirm those
projections.
Councilmember Wambolt commented grants were being sought for a number of projects and assumed if
the grants were not obtained, the project would not proceed. Mr. Fiene agreed.
Councilmember Dawson requested the Council be provided an update on REET revenues, suggesting a
monthly update. Although the Edmonds market was stronger that some other areas, the market was down
countywide. Next, she commented although the presentation was informative, it would have been more
helpful to have had the project descriptions in the Council packet or available on the City’s website as it
was difficult for the Council or the public to comment on the CIP when the project descriptions were not
available for review. Mr. Fiene noted that information was provided in the Council packet in past years,
the goal this year was to have the CIP paperless. He anticipated the project descriptions would be
available on the website soon, once Information Services staff resolved a problem with linking.
Councilmember Dawson asked if there was a timing issue associated with approval of the CIP and if not,
she suggested delaying adoption of the CIP until the project descriptions were available on the website.
Mr. Fiene advised the adoption could be delayed.

Councilmember Wilson observed there was a public education component in Fund 125 and asked what
public education was financed via that fund. Mr. McIntosh answered there was nothing specifically
identified as education; many of the education programs were in the recreation program such as
environmental programs. He noted that most studies and planning included a public education
component. Councilmember Wilson referred to the LEED amendment presented to the Community
Services/Development Services Committee to create a zone that would allow a large water tank for the
new PCC store to be located closer to the street. He noted a public education component would inform
the public about the environmental benefit of the tank. He expressed concern that if no funds were
allocated for public education in Fund 125, none would be expended on public education. Mr. McIntosh
commented on the requirement for environmental education in the utility fund.
Councilmember Wilson suggested the Council deliberate on redevelopment of the senior center at that
location prior to allocating funds for improving the parking lot. Mayor Haakenson advised the funds
were in the CIP in 2009 and required Council approval to be expended. He suggested retaining the funds
in 2009, assuring the parking lot would not be improved if there were plans to redevelop the building.
Councilmember Wilson commented those funds could be reallocated. He referred to Fund 412 and
$20,000 allocated for a Lake Ballinger study in 2009, suggesting additional funds be allocated to that
study in view of the $200,000 in State funds and the request for $200,000 from the federal government.
Mr. Fiene commented on the need to do planning first for Lake Ballinger to determine what was needed
and the cost; the $20,000 was a placeholder and planning-level estimate. Councilmember Wilson
questioned why more was not allocated as a placeholder. Mr. Fiene answered $20,000 was currently
allocated for budget reasons.
Councilmember Wilson referred to Fund 412-100 and the process of repairing water pipes at a rate of 1%
per year. He asked whether that was adequate. Mr. Fiene answered 100 years was the accepted norm for
cast iron; steel lines had slightly less life but nearly all the steel lines had been replaced.
Councilmember Wambolt inquired about construction costs, specifically the estimated cost for the
Frances Anderson Center seismic upgrade of $1.9 million. He recalled the difficulty getting contractors
to bid on projects in the past and asked how the current downturn had affected the bidding climate.
Public Works Director Noel Miller commented the City was going out to bid on two lift stations and
would know more in a few weeks. He noted the Frances Anderson Center seismic upgrades were
underway. There was only one bid received for that project but it was a good bid and the project was
approximately half complete.
Council President Plunkett asked whether the public had access to all the materials the Council had in
their packet. Mr. Fiene advised the CIP was available via the City Council’s agenda on the website.
Councilmember Dawson clarified the project descriptions were not available to the Council or the public
and she preferred they be available for review prior to the Council’s adoption of the CIP.
Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, observed a Planning Board Member was present in the audience tonight and
suggested a Councilmember attend Planning Board meetings. He noted there was a lengthy presentation
and questions/answers at the Planning Board public hearing.
Lora Petso, Edmonds, urged the Council not to adopt the CIP, commenting the City was allowed to
amend the Comprehensive Plan once a year so that all amendments were considered together; the only
exception was the CIP in connection with the budget. She opined the CIP was not legal as it did not
implement the Comprehensive Plan with regard to playfields. She noted the CIP needed to include parks,
identify the location of proposed facilities and planned acquisitions which it did not. She noted the City’s
Packet Page 10 of 180
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2008
Page 7
need for playfields, citing an unauthorized practice on a softball field near her home and the danger of an
adult softball team playing at Westgate Elementary fields. She referred to Fund 126, observing the
presentation indicated nearly $1 million would be moved to the Building Maintenance Fund. She
objected to this transfer absent any additional information. She referred to use of Fund 126 for debt
service and discrepancies in the projections for REET receipts in 2008. She noted Fund 126 also included
line items for unspecified expenditures other than playfield acquisition, questioning whether this
explanation was adequate. Ms. Petso requested a line item for fields at the Old Woodway Elementary
School and a line item for fields at the former Safeway property. She echoed Councilmember Dawson’s
concern that the project details were not yet available. She also questioned the location of the skate park
that was referred to during the CIP presentation.
Jim Young, Edmonds, Planning Board Member, recalled there had been several robust discussions by
the Planning Board regarding the CIP in the past few years and hoped there would be equally robust
discussions by the City Council. He complimented staff for developing the CIP. He made the following
observations as a result of the Planning Board’s review of the CIP: 1) he complimented the Council on
the corrective action and collaboration between Parks & Recreation and Public Works Departments to
fund overlays, noting the funding increased the overlay cycle from 60 years to 33 years, 2) he expressed
concern with continued reliance on grants, noting the Federal Highway Administration grant fund was
expected to begin showing a deficit in 2009, and 3) he expressed concern with the term, “deferred
maintenance,” noting maintenance would need to be deferred absent a change in how building
maintenance was funded. He urged the Council to discuss building maintenance and if funding could not
be identified, prioritize what maintenance would be deferred.
Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Haakenson closed the public participation portion of the
public hearing.
Councilmember Bernheim asked about the process for amending the CIP. Mr. Fiene answered the CIP
was a blueprint for budgeting; the budget actually allocated funds to projects. Councilmember Bernheim
asked how binding the CIP was on the budget and whether the Council had the ability to amend the CIP
to include other projects. Mr. Fiene answered funds were budgeted for projects contained in the CIP
other than emergency projects. Councilmember Bernheim asked whether the Council was precluded from
allocating funds to projects that were not contained in the CIP. Mr. Fiene answered no.
Council President Plunkett inquired about the impact of extending the opportunity for public comment.
Mr. Fiene answered that would be acceptable.
Councilmember Wilson suggested he and other Councilmembers submit their comments in writing.
Councilmember Dawson asked whether staff’s recommendation was to direct the City Attorney to
prepare an ordinance that would be adopted as part of the annual Comprehensive Plan update. Mr. Fiene
answered the CIP was listed in the Comprehensive Plan. The process of adopting the CIP via ordinance
at approximately this time each year had been done for several years. City Engineer Dave Gebert
explained the Six Year CIP was adopted at this time each year so that it was available when budget
preparation began this summer. He noted the annual Comprehensive Plan amendments incorporated the
amended CIP.
Councilmember Dawson suggested a work session prior to the CIP public hearing in the future to ensure
all the information was available.
Council President Plunkett requested staff respond to the questions raised tonight by the audience and the
Council at the continued public hearing.

Councilmember Wambolt echoed Councilmember Dawson’s request for an update on the REET,
suggesting that be provided prior to the continued public hearing. Mayor Haakenson suggested that
information be provided at the next Council Committee meetings.
Council President Plunkett advised the public hearing would be continued to the April 15 Council
meeting.
5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, thanked the public for their generous donations to the Kiwanis March 14-16
Food Drive at Top Foods. He announced the Parks & Recreation Department Easter Egg Hunt on
Saturday, March 22, advising further information was available by contacting the Parks & Recreation
Department.
Dr. Cathy Washington, Edmonds, commented on the allocation of $25,000 for a pool feasibility study.
She recognized the importance of the development of walkways and bike paths, commenting the City
already had sidewalks, a boardwalk and bike routes designated throughout the City. Observing that a
significant number of voting citizens who were unable to walk or bike due to age, physical challenges or
because they did not want to walk/bike in the rain, she pointed out they could be served by an aquatic
center. She emphasized an aquatic center could serve all citizens, from womb to tomb. Dr. Washington
noted recent Fire Department dispatches indicated 20% of aid responses were to evaluate patients for falls
and referred to a recent newspaper article regarding fall prevention that recommended a regular exercise
program. She referred to her proposal for a cultural and recreational center, the Edmonds Aquatic and
Artist Center, which had tremendous economic and health benefits. She recalled pool feasibility studies
were conducted in 1995 and in 1999 and subsequent unsuccessful efforts to collaborate with Stevens
Hospital and the YMCA. She referred to hundreds of signatures the Citizen Action Committee had
gathered in favor of an aquatics center, questioning why the City was planning another feasibility study
when the voters supported an aquatic center. Dr. Washington encouraged the City to utilize the funds
allocated for a feasibility study to identify a site and begin developing architectural plans for an aquatic
and artist facility.
Lora Petso, Edmonds, encouraged the Council to investigate whether adopting the CIP at this stage was
an accurate process. She recalled if a project was not included in the CIP, it was impossible to obtain a
grant for the project. She envisioned park acquisition for playfield use was a virtually automatic grant if
it was included in the CIP. With regard to REET revenue, she noted Fund 126 anticipated revenue of
$1.4 million this year and only $1.1 million in subsequent years. She questioned whether the REET
revenue in Fund 126 matched Fund 125. She relayed a concern with the size of athletic fields cited in the
Park Plan for 6-14 years olds, noting the difference in size between 6 and 14 year olds. She urged the
Council to reject that type of planning and plan the number of fields that were needed.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to Bob Gregg’s demonstration regarding the Skipper’s site, noting it
raised many questions such as his indication that he had rights to the Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) parking lot adjacent to the Skippers site. Mr. Hertrich relayed his conversation
with the WSDOT legal department who advised the only relationship WSDOT had with regard to parking
lots was with Diamond Parking. He suggested Mr. Gregg provide clarification. Next he referred to the
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan, pointing out the minutes of November 28, 2006
and February 13, 2007 Planning Board meetings that contained comments about the Plan were not
included. He referred to circles on one of the maps that identified areas where parks were needed,
pointing out there was no circle on the waterfront. Next, he pointed out there was no pool location
Packet Page 12 of 180
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2008
Page 9
identified in the Plan and the recommendation for action plans was somewhat limited. He suggested the
discussion regarding the downtown waterfront area be included in the Plan.
6. PROCLAMATION IN HONOR OF EARTH HOUR, 8 - 9 P.M. ON SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 2008.
Mayor Haakenson advised “Earth Hour” started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia as a way for that city to
send a powerful message worldwide regarding global warming. Millions of people and over 2,000
businesses participated. This year, he urged Edmonds to join the effort of cities all over the world to
reduce energy consumption and send the message that every action—no matter how small—can impact
our environment. He encouraged everyone in Edmonds to turn off their lights for one hour, from 8:00 to
9:00 p.m., on Saturday, March 29. This hour could be used to change energy-wasting light bulbs to
energy-efficient ones, have a block party with neighbors, or have a candlelit dinner in a participating local
restaurant. Every action has an impact, and the more that could be done to lessen negative effects, the
better chance for a brighter future for our planet.
Mayor Haakenson read a proclamation declaring 8:00 - 9:00 p.m. March 29 as Earth Hour and urging all
citizens to join him, as well as millions of people around the world, in turning out their lights to
significantly reduce energy consumption and positively affect the fight against global warming.
7. WORK SESSION REGARDING A RESOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY AND
PRINCIPLES.
Councilmember Wilson advised the Community Services/Development Services Committee discussed
the policies and principles in the resolution. The intent was to have the Council identify environmental
principles that would be adopted in the building codes, expressed in the Comprehensive Plan and pursued
by staff and the City as a corporation. And based on the principles, determine what the goals the Council
would like to achieve and ultimately direct staff to dovetail the goals and principles with other initiatives
in the City and potentially magnify those efforts. He noted this was important in view of the development
potential of the Antique Mall and Skippers properties and the presentations to be made next week by the
developers and staff. He envisioned the Council would review and potentially modify the policy and
principles for public comment at next week’s meeting. The discussion regarding the Antique Mall and
Skipper’s property would then be framed based on how the public chose to engage in this process.
Councilmember Wilson commented if the Council proposed environmental principles and goals and no
one commented, he would conclude environmental sensitivity was not a priority for Edmonds citizens.
Conversely, if the public provided comment on the policies and principles, he envisioned returning them
to the Community Services/Development Services Committee for further review. He urged the Council
to affirm a set of environmental principles to inform developers what the City expected with regard to
future growth as well as to assist staff with the building code rewrite. He noted the resolution contained
sections regarding principles, goals and staff direction.
Councilmember Dawson expressed her appreciation to Councilmember Wilson for proposing this to the
Council, commenting it was a good discussion for the Council to have. She pointed out the draft
document did not address the City’s role in the transportation system including Community Transit,
Sound Transit and their role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. She referred to an organization,
Climate Communities, that Snohomish and King Counties as well as other local jurisdictions were
participating in, suggesting the City obtain further information and consider participating in that
organization, observing there was a role for local government to play in the national debate.
Councilmember Bernheim commented to the extent that the resolution purports to be a comprehensive
document about principles, it was difficult for him to comment at this time without further opportunity for
Packet Page 13 of 180
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2008
Page 10
review. He agreed with Councilmember Dawson’s comments regarding the need to address
transportation in the document. He asked whether the resolution had been reviewed by the Community
Services/Development Services Committee. Councilmember Wilson explained it was reviewed by the
Committee last week and because of the upcoming presentations regarding the Antique Mall/Skippers
properties, the Committee wanted to provide the Council an opportunity to review and discuss the
resolution in a work session to facilitate public comment next week. Councilmember Bernheim
expressed support for the resolution, cautioning Councilmember Wilson against presuming that the
community was not interested if they failed to comment. He pointed out the number of sustainability
groups and efforts reflected the community’s interest and commitment. He expressed support for the
adoption of green building programs that require builders and buyers to take a longer term viewpoint of
property development. He also expressed support for zero-emission transportation efforts.
Councilmember Olson commented the reason the resolution was forwarded to the Council was to ensure
the policies and principles were part of the discussion regarding the Antique Mall/Skippers
redevelopment. She emphasized this was not a finished product; it was intended to begin the discussion.
Student Representative Scheibert was happy to see this resolution proposed and that Edmonds was setting
the standard. She hoped this would also involve the educational system so that more information
regarding environmental issues was disseminated through the schools.
Councilmember Wilson acknowledged this was not a perfect document and needed additional insight to
be reflective of the community’s fundamental principles. He noted the PCC building would be a platinum
building with regarding to environmental standards. He explained there were four levels, bronze, silver,
gold and platinum; meeting the platinum standard was very difficult. The Community
Services/Development Services Committee learned there were only 18 gold standard buildings in
Washington and less than 1,000 platinum buildings worldwide. Edmonds would be one of very few cities
of its size to have a platinum building. If another platinum building was constructed on the Antique
Mall/Skipper’s property, Edmonds would be the only city in the world of its size to have two platinum
buildings. This could set the standard for the world for how an urban city could address redevelopment.
He explained at the Community Services/Development Services Committee meeting, they learned PCC
needed a water tank to collect runoff from the roof which they could not achieve on the site under the
current code. There is also a development on Edmonds Way that wants to reuse stormwater, an issue the
City codes do not address. He concluded staff could continue to do a great job addressing challenges as
they arose or the City could send a clear message that this mattered to the City. He encouraged the
Council to review the resolution and encouraged the public to provide comment.
Mayor Haakenson declared a brief recess.
8. REVIEW OF THE PARKS, RECREATION & OPEN SPACE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND
THE COMMUNITY CULTURAL PLAN.
Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh introduced Park Maintenance Manager Rich Lindsay,
Recreation Manager Renee McRae, Frances Chapin, Cultural Services Manager, and consultant Juliet
Fong, Hough Beck & Baird, Inc. He explained the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Comprehensive Plan
and Community Cultural Plan updates have been in process since March 2007 and have followed two
separate yet connecting paths. The Community Cultural Plan and Parks, Recreation & Open Space Plan
are independent elements of the City Comprehensive Plan; the Parks & Recreation Department oversees
and implements both plans.
Packet Page 14 of 180
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2008
Page 11
Mr. McIntosh explained comprehensive plans educate, set broad goals and objectives, identify needs, set
policy, and create action plans to assist in guiding staff and the community, and allow department projects
to be grant eligible. Given the constantly changing landscape of active cities such as Edmonds, this plan
provides a general guide and not a blueprint for department and City activity. Budgets, capital
improvement plans, cost of materials, labor, and political direction can, do, and will change frequently
within this six-year plan.
Mr. McIntosh explained separate twenty-person Advisory Committees made up of citizens representing
varied interests met regularly from April through December 2006 to review and refine both plans. Those
forty residents have been provided regular updates since that time and he expressed appreciation for their
dedication of time and intellect over these many months. The members of the Advisory Committees are
individuals and citizens who have different recreational, cultural, and life interests and some represent a
certain population or organization within the City. It was requested early in the process that whatever
their personal interest or affiliation, they take a broader objective in regard to the City’s quality of life and
interest in building for the future.
Two advertised open houses were conducted to receive comment from the public. A professional
scientific telephone survey was conducted as well as an opportunity for all to respond to an electronic
survey. The advisory committees helped analyze staff, consultant, public, and their own ideas and
sentiments to reach consensus on all chapters and phases of this plan. The collective expertise,
community knowledge, and survey information identified deficiencies, trends, and universal interests as
well as more specialized needs to create the action plan.
Two updates were provided to the Planning/Parks Board on November 28 and February 13 that resulted
in thoughtful review by Board members. A number of their comments were addressed in subsequent
editing of the Parks Plan. A public hearing at the Planning/Parks Board was held on February 27 with the
Board recommending that the draft plans be forwarded to City Council for review and a public hearing.
Mr. McIntosh highlighted the Department’s mission statement in the Executive Summary, “To provide
Edmonds’ citizens with a balanced system of parks, recreation, open space and cultural services along
with their support facilities to ensure quality of life.” He explained the Executive Summary was a new
feature in the Plan and provided an overview. He highlighted the economic and health benefits of parks
cited in the Executive Summary.
Juliet Fong, Hough Beck & Baird, Inc., explained the Executive Summary provided an overview of the
plan as well as the vision for the Plan - connectivity, diverse activity and visibility. She noted the last
page of the Executive Summary contained more information regarding each of these elements of the
vision. She briefly reviewed the content of each chapter:
• Chapter 1 Introduction - sets the framework including a description of the public involvement
process and references other planning documents considered during the planning process.
• Chapter 2 Community Profile - defines the planning area, natural features, demographic
characteristics, land use, cultural resources, and population forecasts. With regard to
demographics, she noted the 2000 Census information was used.
• Chapter 3 Facility and Program Inventory - defines park categories (neighborhood, community,
and regional parks, special use areas, gateways, entrances, beautification areas and cultural
facilities) and inventories existing park facilities.
• Chapter 4 Community Needs Assessment - defines and identifies the current level of service
based on population and a proposed level of service based on what the community process
indicated citizens want in the future. She noted previous plans compared the city’s level of
service to national and state standards; the more common practice today was to determine what
Packet Page 15 of 180
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2008
Page 12
the community wanted to determine a proposed level of service. She noted this chapter contained
the public comments from the stakeholder groups and surveys; it also contained information
regarding trends.
• Chapter 5 Comprehensive Plan Framework: Goals and Objectives - uses the information
including the visionary concepts to determine modifications/additions to the goals and objectives.
• Chapter 6 Action Plan - item by item list of general ideas as well as very specific ideas and lists
all existing parks and desired maintenance upgrades.
• Chapter 7 Funding Plan
• Appendixes - contains facility inventory worksheets, community survey results, and park
descriptions.
Ms. Fong displayed a map identifying existing facilities within the park system including school sites and
civic facilities. She displayed the recommended plan facilities map developed via the community process
of desired facilities. This map contained circles identifying areas where a neighborhood park was
desirable. She noted the Plan recognized the City was an urban community with little available land; one
of the strategies in the Plan was to continue partnering with the schools for neighborhood type functions
on school sites. She identified proposed neighborhood parks on school sites and a desired location for a
community park in the south end of the City. She identified other desirable facilities such as a hand-carry
boat launch and a water trail along the waterfront.
Ms. Fong displayed the recommended plan connections map, commenting the concept of connections was
a dominant feature in the Plan. The intent of the connections map was not to reiterate the transportation
plan but to consider how people recreated with regard to walking and bicycling. She explained
commuters traveled from point A to point B; recreational walkers or bicyclists prefer a loop. She pointed
out loops identified on the map, noting some may have existing walkways and sidewalks and some may
not be complete. The intent was to identify priorities for the walkway/bikeway plan within the loops as
well as potentially mapping them with visual cues on the ground, mileage distances, etc. and use them as
a marketing tool to demonstrate to the community the importance of a healthy, active lifestyle. She noted
missing sidewalk and bikeway connections/links were also identified on the map. The Plan also
discussed safety of these connections.
Ms. Fong referred to the comments from the public hearing, many of which reemphasized the priorities
expressed in the survey results. She referred to comments regarding an aquatics center/pool/year round
facility, noting specifics regarding that planning process were not addressed in the Plan. Other comments
included safety of the trails, connections and bikeways; the waterfront area; and downtown connectivity.
The Planning Board also provided comment regarding the need for connection to the transportation plan
and public spaces/gathering spaces downtown.
Council President Plunkett asked Mr. McIntosh to comment on planning for a pool. Mr. McIntosh
advised the need for an aquatics facility/year round pool was identified in the survey. The need for an
aquatics center is in the Plan and the CIP. He pointed out $50,000 was allocated in the proposed CIP for
a feasibility study and he planned to increase the amount to $60,000 to survey the public regarding what
they wanted, how a facility could be marketed, and siting.
Council President Plunkett asked what information the feasibility study would provide. Mr. McIntosh
replied an aquatic center and a pool could be the same thing or vastly different. Previous studies have
ranged from a bubble over the existing pool to an Olympic sized aquatic center with a water park. He
noted the pool was at the end of its life and whether it remained in that location as a new covered pool or
in another location, how a pool project would be marketed, etc. would be explored in the feasibility study.

Page 13
Council President Plunkett requested the Planning Board minutes be provided either in the appendixes or
at the public hearing. Mr. McIntosh agreed they could be provided at the public hearing.
Councilmember Dawson agreed it would be helpful for the Council to see the comments made at the
Planning Board public hearing and suggested they be included in the appendixes, noting the comments
from the survey were included. Mr. McIntosh noted the telephone survey was the only scientific data, a
web survey was also conducted. Councilmember Dawson pointed out the Plan included the web survey
information, therefore, it was appropriate to include the comments made at the public hearing.
Councilmember Dawson referred to the demographics in the telephone survey and questioned whether
there was any effort to obtain a representative sampling. She asked what time the survey was conducted,
noting 81% of the respondents were over the age of 50. She recognized Edmonds had an aging
population but feared the age of the respondents may skew the results if the majority did not have school
age children. Mr. McIntosh advised the survey was conducted at random times during the day including
weekends.
Councilmember Dawson asked whether there was any attempt to have a representative demographic
response to the survey to ensure there was a representative sample of the population. Ms. Fong answered
the randomness of the survey was an important aspect in ensuring the survey was as scientifically
accurate as possible. The surveyors called randomly until a predetermined number of responses were
reached to provide a survey that was statistically accurate to 5%. She acknowledged the responses by
citizens age 50 and above was significantly higher. To offset this, the advisory group talked about the
survey results and how they affected the decision-making process. She noted the advisory group was a
diverse group and represented not only their own interests but the entire community.
Councilmember Dawson pointed out a skate park was one of the lowest scoring facilities. She questioned
why there was reference in the CIP to another skate park when it did not score high in the survey. She
was also surprised how low ballfields scored in the survey, questioning whether that was because most
respondents did not have children that utilized fields. She noted the aquatic facility scored very high in
the survey. She remarked the feasibility study was not intended to determine whether the community was
interested in an aquatic’s facility but rather whether it would pencil out with regard to operations as well
as where to site a facility. Mr. McIntosh pointed out the feasibility study would also assist in determining
what type of facility the community wanted.
Councilmember Wilson agreed with Councilmember Dawson’s comments regarding the demographics,
noting he was involved in polling in his job and while the survey may be random, it was not scientific.
He pointed out a survey where 2% of the respondents were age 34 or younger was not representative of
the City’s demographics and while the results may be enlightening, they did not accurately reflect the
community.
Councilmember Wilson referred to page 4-5, specifically the statement, “The City of Edmonds should
continue to pursue opportunities to acquire waterfront properties and to partner with private owners for
public access to the waterfront.” Because the term “waterfront” was often used loosely, he questioned
whether the intent was actually shoreline property and not the Antique Mall/Skipper’s properties. Mr.
McIntosh answered it was the shoreline.
Councilmember Wilson asked staff to comment on the hand-carry boat launch site. Mr. McIntosh
answered although it was desirable, it was difficult to site and the locations identified on the map were not
relevant to where such a facility could be located. The survey and advisory groups identified the need for
another hand-carry boat launch on the Edmonds waterfront; the closest was in Snohomish County at Lund
Gulch Park or at Marina Beach.
Packet Page 17 of 180
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2008
Page 14
Councilmember Wilson referred to the statement on page 4-10, “Existing play areas should be updated to
meet current safety standards and provide greater diversity and more imaginative play” and asked which
play areas did not meet current safety standards. Mr. McIntosh advised a staff person certified in
playground safety inspection addressed any safety issues as they arose. The City had a consistent
replacement program; City Park’s equipment was next to be replaced. The lifespan of the equipment was
10-18 years and within that time period, safety standards change. He assured the City’s playgrounds were
safe and possibly the language in the Plan needed to be updated. When play areas were replaced, it was
with equipment that meets current safety standards. Councilmember Wilson asked for an example of a
play area that was constructed to the standards at the time but was now out of date. He noted if there
were any, the City should spend the funds necessary to ensure play areas met current safety standards. If
there were not any, the language needed to be revised to avoid suggesting that any existed. Mr. McIntosh
assured all the City’s playgrounds were safe; the language needed to be updated.
Council President Plunkett asked about the comment in the presentation stating there needed to be a larger
park in south Edmonds. Ms. Fong responded there was desire expressed for a community park at the old
Woodway High School site. She explained a community park was typically larger than a neighborhood
park and contained more community-type functions and activities. For example, one of the discussions in
the process was where to site a dog park if the current park was displaced by Edmonds Crossing. She
noted the national standard for a community park was 20+ acres.
Councilmember Bernheim asked if it was permissible to launch a kayak from any public beach. Mr.
McIntosh responded it was not allowed in many areas, for example the Underwater Park was a sanctuary
and launching a kayak was strictly prohibited. The preferred/designated boat launching site was the south
end of Marina Beach. It was not illegal to launch a kayak at the fishing pier but it was not encouraged.
Councilmember Bernheim pointed out the respondents to the telephone survey stated they were willing to
pay $122 per year for a bond to finance park acquisition. He asked if there was any analysis done with
regard to the amount that would generate. Mr. McIntosh answered no. Councilmember Bernheim noted
respondents to the telephone survey, 80% of whom owned their homes, also indicated they were willing
to pay $100 per year in property taxes to finance property acquisition. He asked if there was any analysis
regarding the amount that would generate. Mr. McIntosh answered no, but it could be determined.
Councilmember Bernheim commented discussions regarding redevelopment of the Antique Mall area
usually included mention of open space, either as a voluntary contribution by the developer, as a zoning
requirement, or as a publicly financed area. Observing the Plan did not identify park land in the Antique
Mall area, he asked whether the Council could approve a project that proposed useful, developed open
space or a park-type area on that site. Mr. McIntosh commented as the Executive Summary stated, the
Plan was not a blueprint but rather a general document. He acknowledged opportunities would arise that
may not be included in the Plan and the Plan could be revised at the Council’s discretion. He
recommended any proposed open space/park area be maintained by the property owner.
Councilmember Dawson clarified Councilmember Bernheim’s comment regarding survey respondents’
willingness to pay $122 for a park levy, pointing out in response to the question regarding how to pay for
future city recreation programs, the top choice by a huge margin was increased user fees followed by
offering reduced programs; increased city tax revenue had a significantly lower response. She concluded
this revealed an unwillingness to pay higher taxes for recreational opportunities. She referred to the
question regarding the General Obligation Bond which inquired whether respondents would be willing to
pay it and the maximum amount their household would be willing to pay, noting the mean amount on
acquisition was $122.50. When the question was regarding operations and acquisition, the amount
dropped to $101. She concluded the responses indicated the respondents were not willing to pay for a
Packet Page 18 of 180
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2008
Page 15
bond measure to operate parks, which was actually the City’s greatest need. She pointed out REET funds
provided a reliable and steady source for acquiring park property. She noted the survey respondents were
not asked to compare joint venture opportunities or entrepreneurial financing opportunities but scored
naming rights, sponsorships, etc. much higher than increased taxes.
In response to Councilmember Bernheim’s concern that not including reference to a park on the Antique
Mall site could constrain the Council from approving a redevelopment plan, Councilmember Wambolt
pointed out the existing Parks Plan identified a 3-acre park at the old Woodway Elementary Park site, yet
the City purchased a 5.5-acre site.
Councilmember Wilson recommended the Council not derive from this survey that the community did
not support parks.
Councilmember Olson inquired about the status of funding for the fields at the old Woodway High
School site. Mr. McIntosh advised staff did not seek funding from the legislature this year as there was
little chance of funding in this session. Staff is developing plans to submit a request next January.
Cultural Services Manager Frances Chapin reviewed the Community Cultural Plan, explained the update
of the Cultural Plan included a twenty-person Advisory Committee made up of citizens representing
varied interests who considered what had been accomplished, what made Edmonds the kind of
community they wanted to live in and what they hoped it would look like in the future. The ideas in the
updated Cultural Plan evolved from their input and comments from people who attended the two public
meetings held jointly with the Parks Plan. She expressed her appreciation to the members of the public
who engaged in this process.
Ms. Chapin explained the first Community Cultural Plan for Edmonds was developed in 1994, a public-
private collaboration funded by the Arts Commission and the Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation. The
main goals and strategies of the existing Plan revealed the City’s leadership role, but that the City was not
solely responsible for implementation; the essential role of private entities, businesses, non-profits,
individuals and other governmental agencies was highlighted throughout the Plan. She noted the
Community Cultural Plan worked in concert with the Parks Plan and the Streetscape Plan. The purpose
of the Cultural Plan was to identify strategies that would guide the City and community in continued
cultural development, support existing and possibly new cultural facilities, integrate cultural planning
with other planning efforts citywide, and utilize cultural resources as part of the community’s future
development. She noted two aspects of these strategies were highlighted in the updated Plan, 1) arts to
attract visitors as well as for residents, and 2) the value of participation in cultural activities to the quality
of life. She noted residents see cultural arts as an integral part of the community, part of recreation,
continued education, and economic development.
Ms. Chapin advised the five main goals were similar to the five goals in the original plan and updated in
2001. She referred to a goal in the previous version, “promote the arts as partners in economic
development,” noting all five goals were interwoven and all five support economic development.
Therefore this goal was reformulated to read, “Build Edmonds’ identity as a cultural destination.” She
noted the focus of the strategies under this goal include infrastructure such as the 4th Avenue cultural
corridor and the importance of supporting and enhancing a unique cultural events. She advised the other
four goals remained much the same as the original plan, 1) encourage effective partnerships to support
cultural opportunities and awareness of cultural assets, 2) develop facilities for visual art and enhance
facilities for performing arts, 3) increase visibility and access to information about arts and culture and 4)
broaden community involvement and participation in a diverse range of cultural activities.
Packet Page 19 of 180
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2008
Page 16
She summarized the Plan focused on strategies that the public identified as most important to further these
goals; however, there was room within those strategies and goals for other ideas to emerge. The
strategies reflected themes similar to those in the Parks Plan, connectivity, diverse activity, visibility,
collaboration throughout the community, connections for activities, connections for physical space,
importance of community, and a suggestion that a cultural committee be developed to further promote the
community’s values. The facilities goal emphasized the importance of supporting existing facilities such
as Edmonds Center for the Arts, ArtWorks, the Rotary pavilion and encourages multi-use and co-located
programming while looking at options for expanding opportunities for visual art. The visibility goal
stresses the value of incorporating art and design elements using the visual to reinforce cultural identity
for the community and visitors. The involvement goal focuses on broadening participation of all ages in
diverse activities throughout the City.
Ms. Chapin explained in the process of updating the Cultural Plan, the community renewed its
commitment to many of the interests first expressed in 1994 and recognized much had changed and been
accomplished in the intervening 14 years. The updated plan incorporates new and reformulated strategies
that build on previous visions and new realities for the future of arts in Edmonds.
Councilmember Dawson inquired about the order that Councilmembers were listed in the
acknowledgements. Ms. Chapin answered it was random but would be corrected to list Councilmembers
alphabetically with the Council President first.
Council President Plunkett advised a public hearing on the Plan was scheduled for April 15.
9. DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION REGARDING EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL TRIAL
ADOPT-A-DOG PROGRAM.
Council President Plunkett referred to the indemnification agreement between the City and Old Dog
Haven in Exhibit 1, suggesting no more than two dogs be introduced per month and a ten minute time
limit.
Councilmember Wambolt advised he would not support this program, noting although it was a worthy
cause, he was concerned with setting a precedent.
Observing Old Dog Haven was located in Arlington, Councilmember Wilson asked whether there were
any local facilities. Council President Plunkett advised the dogs were often obtained locally and he was
not aware of any Edmonds-based facilities. Mayor Haakenson advised Adix was the City’s purveyor of
animal shelter services and they had no problem adopting dogs. In the interest of fairness,
Councilmember Wilson suggested also including cats.
Councilmember Dawson preferred to display pictures of available dogs on Channel 21 or on the City’s
website or to introduce pets available for adoption during audience comments. She agreed with
Councilmember Wilson that cats should be included, noting it was often more difficult to find homes for
cats. However, she indicated she was not opposed to a trial adopt-a-dog program.
Council President Plunkett stated his intent was to try the Adopt-a-Dog program once every few months.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BERNHEIM, TO ACCEPT THE AGREEMENT. UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION CARRIED (5-2),
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PLUNKETT AND COUNCILMEMBERS OLSON, DAWSON,

10. DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL DIRECTION REGARDING AUDIO TAPE RECORDING OF
EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.
Council President Plunkett explained before City Attorney Scott Snyder spent more time researching this
issue, he wanted to ensure the Council was interested in pursing it.
Councilmember Orvis expressed support for taping of Executive Session, recognizing there were details
that needed to be worked out. He noted there were other City Councils that taped their Executive
Sessions. He pointed out that although SB 3292 was not approved by the legislature, there were
Councilmembers who favored taping of Executive Sessions.
Councilmember Dawson supported having Mr. Snyder provide the Council a briefing on the feasibility of
enacting local regulations regarding taping Executive Session versus State regulations. She noted it was
more complicated to accomplish city-by-city and she wanted to hear Mr. Snyder’s opinion before a great
deal of time was expended on research. She noted if it could not be accomplished in a manner that
created an exemption from the Open Public Records Act, the Council may as well not hold Executive
Session in the future. She noted there were many actions that did not need to be done in Executive
Session and could be done in open session.
It was the consensus of the Council to have Mr. Snyder brief the Council.
11. REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS OF MARCH 11, 2008.
Community Services/Development Services Committee
Councilmember Wilson reported the Committee discussed the PCC platinum building and supported the
creation of an interim zoning ordinance that would create a special zone that would allow PCC to meet
the LEED development standard. He advised the interim ordinance would require a public hearing and
ultimately consideration of a permit. The Committee also reviewed the resolution regarding
environmental policies and principles which was discussed on tonight’s agenda. The final item the
Committee discussed was a request for a bench near the Veteran’s Memorial; staff was directed to pursue
locating a memorial bench at the Edmonds Cemetery.
Finance Committee
Councilmember Orvis reported the Committee authorized surplusing of computer equipment which was
approved on the Consent Agenda. The Committee also discussed the City’s employee medical coverage
due to the Association of Washington Cities’ plan to phase out their existing medical plans, which will
require renegotiating medical coverage with the City’s unions. This effort would also include
consideration of self-funded plans. The Committee requested staff bring back a proposed work plan with
timelines to the Committee by the June meeting.
Public Safety Committee
Councilmember Bernheim reported the Committee discussed an agreement with the City of Everett for
use of the City’s emergency fire boat at Hat Island. This was approved on the Consent Agenda. The
Committee also discussed an exemption that would allow a person adopting a dog or cat to take the
animal home without it being spayed/neutered with an agreement they return for spay/neuter under
penalty of a fine. He encouraged the public to spay/neuter as well as license their pets.

Subject Title
Authorization for the Mayor to sign an Interlocal Agreement and Consultant Agreement -
Consortium for Negotiation of Cable Television Franchising.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Authorize Mayor Haakenson to sign the attached Interlocal Agreement Consortium For Negotiation
of Cable Television Franchising in addition to preparing and executing the attached Consultant
Agreement with River Oaks contingent on Snohomish County's approval of the Interlocal
Agreement.
Previous Council Action
On February 26, 2008, the City Council directed the City Attorney to continue with a schedule
proposed by the City Attorney during the City Council meeting (minutes attached).
Narrative
Verizon is in the process of marketing “triple-play” (cable TV, internet and phone service) to its
customers. As in every other city, in order to do so within the City of Edmonds, it must have a
cable TV franchise.
City staff and Verizon representatives met on January 17, 2008 to discuss potential processes for
issuance of a new franchise as it relates to the delivery of cable TV services.
During the February 26, 2008 City Council meeting, Scott Snyder, Edmonds City Attorney,
presented a February 14, 2008 memorandum addressed to the City Council which outlined possible
"Next Steps" regarding negotiations with Verizon. Mr. Snyder also discussed a proposal to work
collectively with other jurisdictions in order to ensure that the public receives the maximum rights
and benefits from their respective franchise agreements.
Over the past month, the City Attorney and staff have successfully negotiated the attached
Interlocal Agreement with Snohomish County and nine other cities. The agreement outlines the
purpose, duration, terms for participation, Revised Code of Washington requirements, provisions
for dispute resolution, and establishes a monetary cap on consulting services. Interlocal Agreement
Exhibit A also references April 2006 population estimates and a breakdown of the estimated pro
rata share for each participant. As cited, the estimated range in costs for the City of Edmonds is
$7,667.82 to 9,595.28.
Packet Page 83 of 180
$7,667.82 to 9,595.28.
As demonstrated by Exhibit A, participation in the consortium allows cities to leverage their dollars
against those provided by participating entities. Other advantages include coordination among a
variety of entities negotiating with Verizon; all jurisdictions having the ability to participate in a
very complex process, and an opportunity to secure the services of a nationally recognized
consultant, for nominal costs; assuring the citizens of each jurisdiction that their franchise is
competitive, both locally and nationally; and legal issues that are handled on a collective basis. By
working as a group, the consortium also has the ability to effectively negotiate a franchise
agreement that has some consistency throughout the immediate region.
Attached you will also find a Consulting Agreement between the City of Edmonds and River Oaks
which the City will administer on behalf of the consortium. River Oaks is the nationally
recognized contractor selected to work on behalf of the consortium. The City of Edmonds will
serve as the billing entity and pass through pro-rata charges to participating entities.
NOTES:
• Because the pro-rata shares change significantly without Snohomish County’s participation, City
Administration asks that the City Council base its approval of the Interlocal and Consultant
Agreements contingent on Snohomish County approving the Interlocal Agreement.
• As of March 20, 2008, the City of Mountlake Terrace and Town of Woodway have signed the
agreement.
• The City Attorney has indicated that there will be a minor change to the final consultant
agreement. Specifically, River Oaks has agreed to send invoices to each participating entity in lieu
of the City performing this function.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 19, 2008
TO: Edmonds City Council
City of Edmonds
FROM: W. Scott Snyder, Office of the City Attorney
RE: North Puget Sound Consortium
Interlocal Agreement and Consulting Agreement
BACKGROUND
In 2007, Verizon began replacing its existing copper facilities with fiber throughout King and
Snohomish County. As a successor to GTE’s “state-wide” franchise, originally granted prior to
statehood, Verizon’s intent is to compete with Comcast and other cable television and internet
providers by offering “triple play” service. Triple play refers to a combination of phone, internet
and cable television service.
Under federal law, a potential cable television franchisee that enters into a “competitive”
situation is subject to a limited 90-day review process upon formal application. “Competitive”
means in competition with an existing franchise. Federal law also requires a level playing field,
that is that the new franchisee have substantially the same terms in its franchise as does its
competitor. Please note that two franchisees is not likely to increase City revenue from the five
percent franchise fee. This is a zero sum game in which there will be very little gain in cable
television subscribers.
These factors create the following realities:
1. There is a need to be economical in the process.
2. Because of the level playing field principle, there is very little room for significant
change in the relative position of the City and its franchisees.
When we were first approached by Verizon, Stephen Clifton provided a copy of a consortium-
negotiated franchise from Multnomah County, Oregon. Stephen’s hope was that we could utilize
Packet Page 86 of 180
Edmonds City Council
March 19, 2008
Page 2
{WSS690449.DOC;1/00006.080052/}
the information contained in the franchise in our negotiation process. Because of the level-
playing-field principle, the forms from the Oregon franchise would have been difficult to use but
the concept was intriguing. Stephen then contacted a number of entities, including Snohomish
County and the cities of South Snohomish County. After a series of meetings we found broad
interest in joining together to form our own cable consortium.
CONSORTIUM GOALS
Based on those meetings, the following goals were identified:
1. Validate the negotiation product (a model franchise) both locally in conjunction with the
communities of South Snohomish County and North King County, and nationally through the
use of a well-recognized national consultant. The consultant chosen -- River Oaks - is currently
negotiating a franchise in Redmond and has worked throughout the country. They are known for
a cooperative but reasoned approach to negotiation.
2. Minimize the cost to individual participants. The chart attached to the Interlocal
Agreement illustrates a best-case cost-sharing. It is based on the population of each community
who would potentially be served by Verizon. The same principle would extend to voting -- each
city would have a vote based on its percentage of cost. Please note that that places Snohomish
County in the driver’s seat in terms of decision-making; however any city can withdraw at any
time. A city can join, pay its initial cost and receive the benefit of having its franchise analyzed
and deal points prepared for the negotiation prepared by a nationally-recognized expert. If the
group negotiation goes in a direction with which a city does not agree, the city can withdraw and
pursue its own course. The Interlocal Agreement provides for consensus voting -- that is, formal
votes using the weighted voting will be taken only when consensus by the group cannot be
reached. This approach has been used successfully in a number of Snohomish County interlocal
agreements.
3. The need for speed and cooperation. This interlocal does not create a war to do battle
with Verizon but rather attempts to streamline the process to reach a somewhat inevitable
product in a professional and thorough way. For example, competition will drive technology.
Unlike the early days of cable television when much of the focus was on the technological side
of cable service, those factors be determined by the market place in today’s competitive market.
Similarly federal regulation prohibits a city from regulating either the channel content of a cable
provider, or the rates which are charged. The definition of the term “gross revenues” used to
determine the payment of the franchise fee can, however, have long-term financial implications
for each participant.
4. Group consensus will be based on a number of operating principles. For example,
Snohomish County’s representative has indicated no interest in pursing a public access channel
as a part of the franchise agreement. This is consistent with the prior Edmonds City Council
position in prior franchise negotiations adopted in Edmonds over the years. Cable access
television is in many respects a creature of the past given the access which most Americans have
Packet Page 87 of 180
Edmonds City Council
March 19, 2008
Page 3
{WSS690449.DOC;1/00006.080052/}
to the internet. Those who wish to blog or produce video through Face book have other creative
outlets (the internet) which was invaluable in the 60s and 70s. Issues such as the inability of a
city to regulate the content of public access, the inevitable complaints which the City would
receive regarding that content and similar First Amendment Issues, create a problematic area
which many, if not most, cities avoid at this juncture. The educational and governmental side of
PEG (Public, Educational and Governmental) channels will be a focus of negotiation.
If the City joins this will be a fairly speedy process with minimal Council and staff involvement.
The Council retains the right to approve any final franchise and if periodic reports with which
you are provided indicate the negotiation is going in a direction of which you do not approve, the
City can withdraw and pursue its own negotiation at any time. We anticipate that the eventual
product will be little different than that which can be obtained through the consortium and the
cost would be significantly higher.
In an effort to facilitate the process, Dan Clements, the City’s Administrative Services Director,
has indicated the City’s ability to serve as the contracting and billing agent with the consultant.
Presented for your approval, in addition to the interlocal agreement, is a consulting agreement.
Please note that the City serves as a billing agent only, and each consortium member will be
responsible for its own costs.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends that the City Council approve the consulting agreement and interlocal
agreement. The realities of negotiating with a “competitive” franchisee indicate a need for
professional validation of the product, but that that product be obtained in the most cost-effective
manner possible. There will be no “new money” created by the negotiation process. My firm
has also proposed to our four clients (Edmonds, Woodinville, Mukilteo and Woodway) that the
cities enter into a joint representation agreement so that you can share our costs on a pro-rata
basis, that is, one-quarter of the legal costs.

FEE SCHEDULE
In consideration of the services to be performed pursuant to the Scope of Work, the Northern Puget
Sound Consortium agrees to pay the Consultant on a time and reimbursable cost basis according to
the following schedule:
Hourly billing rates: $245.00/hour (one-half the hourly rate for travel which will be further
reduced when trips are combined for clients in addition to the Northern Puget Sound Consortium)
Reimbursable direct costs:
Federal Express (on an as-needed basis)
Postage
Long Distance Telephone Charges
Outside Clerical
Fax
Copies
Travel (coach class tickets and reasonably priced rental cars), Meals (moderately priced) and
Lodging (will seek discounted rates from competitively priced hotels)
Consultant will work to obtain economies of scale by combining trips for multiple clients in order to
reduce travel expenditures. It is estimated that from March 14, 2008 until July 14, 2008, Consultant
will work on the Northern Puget Sound Consortium’s behalf in connection with matters described in
Phases I-IV of the Scope of Work in the range of $58,700 - $73,700 plus expenses (in the
approximate amount of 20%) for the County and up to ten (10) Other Communities. The total cost
of Consultant services shall not exceed $88,440 without the prior written consent of the Northern
Puget Sound Consortium. If the total number of communities including the County and Other
Communities goes above eleven (11), the Northern Puget Sound Consortium and Consultant will
work to equitably adjust the baseline range since additional work would be required. Also, these
figures may further increase by mutual agreement of the parties, it being understood and agreed that
the cooperation or lack of cooperation by Verizon will have a significant bearing upon the total cost.
In addition, upon request of an individual community, from March 14, 2008 until July 14, 2008,
Consultant will work on the individual community’s behalf in connection with matters described in
the Scope of Work on an hourly basis plus expenses and bill each community accordingly. That
work could entail Consultant taking the lead on the matter or assisting the City/County Attorney and
Staff.

Edmonds City Council
February 26, 2008 Meeting Minutes
Topic: Verizon Franchise - Consortium
Item 7. VERIZON FRANCHISE - CONSORTIUM
City Attorney Scott Snyder explained the City’s franchise with Comcast for
cable television expired in three years; therefore, under federal statute the
City was entering the three year negotiation period, a process that could be
formal or informal. Comcast is a Section 6 cable provider under the
Telecommunications Act that also offers Section 2 phone services as part of
their triple-play service. Verizon is in the process of installing fiber
throughout the region and the nation to offer the same triple-play service
and will be a Section 2 telephone company offering Section 6 cable
communication service.
Under new FCC regulations, cities are required to have in place a 90-day
process for competitive franchises. When Verizon files an application the City
will have 90 days to consider their application; therefore, any decisions
regarding process were extremely time sensitive. He noted a competitive
situation was one in which there was already an existing cable franchisee, in
this case Comcast. Under level playing field requirements, when Verizon files
an application, they are entitled to a franchise. Therefore, although the City
was about to renegotiate their franchise with Comcast, Verizon would get the
same franchise. He noted this was occurring in a very unstable setting;
every year over the past three years the Telecommunications Act has been
under scrutiny in Congress and cynics believe it would have passed but for
the election year needs of candidates enjoying lobbying contributions that
represented the largest amount ever contributed to any congressional act
under consideration.
Mr. Snyder advised Mr. Clifton and he had been working on the cable
franchise including gathering copies of recently enacted franchises that
included a franchise from Multnomah, Oregon where a cable consortium
negotiated a state-of-the-art franchise. With Mayor Haakenson’s permission
Mr. Clifton and he contacted Snohomish County and north King County and
south Snohomish County cities to gauge their interest in forming a group to
negotiate with Verizon as a consortium. He noted as a negotiator the City
wanted to get the best deal possible for the citizens of Edmonds in a manner
that was cost effective; however, because Verizon would be contributing
directly with Comcast, there was no additional money for the City; the city
was already receiving the maximum 5% franchise fee.
He suggested the City may want to consider the assistance of a national
consulting firm that specializes in cable TV franchises, a cost that could be
reduced by several cities sharing a consultant. He explained Edmonds had
taken the lead role in a series of meetings with cities and the county; at the
Packet Page 115 of 180
present time Snohomish County (for its urbanized area), Mountlake Terrace,
Kenmore, Brier, Woodway, and Mukilteo have expressed interest. He noted
if the tools of the franchise were consistent, it would make that one less
issue to be addressed at the time of annexation of UGA. He noted items of
common interest include customer service standards, technical standards,
right-of-way use, and public education governmental issues. He summarized
the goal of the cities was to share information and costs and via an Interlocal
Agreement negotiate as a consortium.
Mr. Snyder questioned if the Council was interested in creating a consortium
to negotiate with Verizon. He noted Verizon was presenting the same
negotiating template to each city and the flaw and benefits of the proposal
would be nearly the same for each city; the more consumers the consortium
negotiates on the behalf of, the greater the leverage and the lower the cost.
The group met today in Mountlake Terrace and Mountlake Terrace has begun
interviewing consultants. He has been working on a draft Interlocal
Agreement that he will discuss with the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s
Office and attorneys from the other cities if the Council indicates a desire to
proceed.
Mr. Snyder indicated the City’s portion of a $30,000-$50,000 consultant
contract would be approximately 20%. For cities that did not participate in
the consortium, the Interlocal Agreement would serve as a joint purchasing
agreement.
Mayor Haakenson commented the cost savings alone were worth the effort.
He referred to the Verizon template that was provided to each city, noting it
was the goal to develop a city template and the strength in numbers would
resolve many issues.
Councilmember Dawson agreed strength in numbers was important. She
supported forming a consortium, noting it was difficult for cities to negotiate
franchise agreements with cable companies on their own. She relayed
commendations from an individual in the Snohomish County Executive’s
Office who previously negotiated cable franchises for the City Everett, for the
work done by Mr. Snyder and Mr. Clifton in this process and his comments
that it was a pleasure to work with these professional, knowledgeable people.
Councilmember Wilson asked if there were any major arguments against
negotiating with Verizon as a consortium. Mr. Snyder answered only if there
were unforeseen issues with the cost share. He noted the 5% franchise fee
each city receives was levied for the purpose of supporting this effort. For
most cities, it was deposited into their General Fund. He recalled when
negotiating cable franchises 25 years ago, the cable franchising companies
paid cities’ costs; that was no longer done. He noted the draft Interlocal
Agreement was structured to allow a city to opt out at any time.
Packet Page 116 of 180
Councilmember Wilson inquired about the impact on the City’s fiber optics.
Mr. Snyder answered the rules that were established would apply to all
franchises because a level playing field was required.
For Councilmember Wilson, Mr. Snyder assured the Council would approve a
franchise agreement for Edmonds and would be the ultimate arbiter of the
terms. The intent of negotiating together was to have greater leverage with
the cable company. Because Verizon would have hundreds of franchises in
Washington and thousands nationally, there was an advantage for them to
have consistent requirements. He hoped their desire for consistency could
be leveraged to get a better economic deal, better technical requirements or
better customer service standards for citizens.
Councilmember Wilson referred to options in Mr. Snyder’s memo which
included the City entering into an informal process with Verizon. Mr. Snyder
commented detail regarding negotiating strategies should be conducted in
Executive Session. The conundrum was the City had a 15-year old cable
franchise; Verizon was guaranteed a level playing field by federal law.
Therefore the City’s competitive franchise for Verizon by itself could be no
better than what Comcast was providing. However, much had changed in 15
years and the City would like to develop a better franchise template. An
ordinance adopted last year provided that any competitive franchise
ordinance would have the same length as the longest franchise the City let;
therefore, Verizon’s franchise would expire at the same time as Comcast.
Verizon would rather have a longer franchise and via an informal process
they should be willing to provide more to the City than would otherwise be
available. The difficulty was the City was setting the bar for Comcast in the
upcoming renegotiation process. He hoped the consortium and an informal
process with Verizon could be used to draw Comcast into the discussion and
negotiate their franchise renewal at the same time. He anticipated having a
draft Interlocal Agreement available for Council consideration in 1-2 weeks.

Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:03/25/2008
Submitted By:Dan Clements Time:Consent
Department:Administrative Services Type:Action
Review Committee:Finance
Action:Approved for Consent Agenda
Information
Subject Title
Interlocal agreement with the City of Lynnwood for Olympic View Drive fiber optic conduit and
storm drainage improvements. Approved for the consent agenda by the Finance Committee on 03/18/08.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Approve amended interlocal agreement.
Previous Council Action
The original interlocal agreement bewteen Lynnwood and Edmonds for Olympic View Drive
improvements was approved by the full Council in September, 2003. The Finance Committee
reviewed the proposed changes on March 18, 2008.
Narrative
As noted above, in 2003 the City approved an interlocal agreement with Lynnwood for street,
water, and sewer improvements along Olympic View Drive. As part of this project Lynnwood is
also installing fiber optic conduit for their use. Lynnwood will bid and manage the project.
This revised contract would allow for the inclusion of fiber optic conduit and storm water
improvements for the City of Edmonds, if costs are acceptable to the City. Funding would be from
utility sources.
If these improvements are included as part of this work, it would eliminate the need for the City of
Edmonds to cut the newly paved street to install these improvements.

LATERALS, & FIBER OPTIC CONDUIT INSTALLATION
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
between
THE CITY OF EDMONDS
and
THE CITY OF LYNNWOOD
THIS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT (hereinafter, “the Agreement”) is entered into
under the authority of the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 39.34 RCW, between the City of
Edmonds (hereinafter “EDMONDS”), a municipal corporation organized under the laws of the
State of Washington, and the City of Lynnwood (hereinafter “LYNNWOOD”), a municipal
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Washington (collectively “the Parties”), to
provide for the design and construction of the EDMONDS Olympic View Drive Water Main
Installation project, installation of sewer/drainage laterals, and installation of fiber optic conduit
in conjunction with the design and construction of the LYNNWOOD Olympic View Drive
Improvements (76th Avenue West to 168th Street SW) project, and to define the Parties’
respective rights, obligations, costs and liabilities regarding this undertaking.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Chapter 39.34 RCW authorizes two or more political subdivisions or units
of local government of the State of Washington to cooperate on a basis of mutual advantage to
provide for services and facilities; and
WHEREAS, the EDMONDS 2002 Water Comprehensive Plan identifies a requirement
to install 8-inch ductile iron pipe water main, fire hydrants, and appurtenances on Olympic View
Drive from 76th Avenue West to 181st Place SW, and from 180th Street SW to 174th Street SW,
and
WHEREAS, LYNNWOOD is presently designing their Olympic View Drive
Improvements project to widen the roadway and provide sidewalks and bike lanes on Olympic
View Drive from 76th Avenue West to 168th Street SW; and
WHEREAS, there are approximately thirteen private properties in EDMONDS located
along Olympic View Drive between 76th Avenue West and 168th Street SW that are not presently
connected to a sanitary sewer system, and
WHEREAS, it is likely that the septic systems for these properties will fail in the future,
and it will become necessary to construct sewer laterals to connect them to the LYNNWOOD
sewer trunk line on Olympic View Drive, and
WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed that the sewer laterals to be constructed pursuant to
this Agreement will extend from the existing sewer main to up to 10 feet beyond the right of
way, where they will be capped and available for future connection by the owners of the private

E. In no event shall the total aggregate amount of change orders cause the total
construction cost to exceed the maximum amounts in Section 6, without prior
written approval by EDMONDS.
F. Change orders involving a change in scope shall have the scope change
authorized in writing by EDMONDS, and be subject to the 8.5% LYNNWOOD
construction management and administration fee in Section 6.C.

Memo
Date: March 13, 2008
To: Sandy Chase
From: DJ Wilson
Re: Resolution on Environmental Policies and Procedures
This resolution comes to the Council from the CS/DS committee. It was recommended
to be placed on the agenda for this meeting, March 18th, due to the timeliness of the
pending public dialogue on the Waterfront Redevelopment Project. With Council
review and active editing on the 18th, public comment will then be taken on the
updated version March 25th, ahead of the presentations from land owners that
evening.
The purpose of this resolution is three-fold. First, it seeks to build upon the resolution
passed some years ago relating to the Mayor’s signing the US Mayor’s Climate
Protection Agreement. By providing a Council-approved set of principles and policies,
this resolution will give staff direction relating to issues ranging from the coming code
updates to recommendations regarding “green” or LEED development. A number of
issues have an environmental component to them. When applicable, this resolution will
give staff a framework to determine where or if those components fit within the larger
Council vision regarding environmental policies and principles.
A second purpose is to foster the community dialogue on “green” development. With
the PCC building working to achieve Platinum LEED status, and talk about another
building planning to achieve similar status, this gives the public a vehicle for engaging
in the conversation surrounding this type of development.
Finally, a third purpose is to better gauge public support for policies and law that
supports this type of development. I believe, having talked with citizens about the
Waterfront, about redevelopment in our urban centers, and about the challenges of
water quality at Lake Ballinger, that the citizenry is strongly supportive of “green”,
environmentally sensitive, energy efficient development. If there is a response during
the public comment period, this will give us an additional reference point to measure
this support ahead of the broader conversation about the redevelopment at the
Skippers/Antique Mall properties.

RESOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL PRINCIPLES AND POLICY
Draft for Discussion Only
Whereas the City of Edmonds is gifted with unique environmental assets, such as the
shoreline on Puget Sound, urban forest lands, diverse streams, Lake Ballinger and
a range of parks; and
Whereas the City of Edmonds is experiencing the development of significant economic
assets which can be utilized to foster smart environmental policies, such as new
fiber-optic infrastructure, businesses like Green For Good, and non-profit
organizations like Sustainable Edmonds; and
Whereas the Mayor’s Citizens Committee on U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement
has proven successful at harnessing the power of citizen knowledge in
environmental policy, encouraging and supporting changes in City policies and
operations which are making the City a leader in environmental stewardship; and
Whereas given these environmental assets, economic assets, and citizen knowledge
which exist in the City of Edmonds, the City of Edmonds has a tremendous social
responsibility to utilize these capabilities to address the challenges of climate
change, energy efficiency, and suburban re-development; now
Therefore, be it RESOLVED, that the City of Edmonds commits to the following
principles:
1) The City of Edmonds recognizes that global climate change brings
significant risks to our community as a shoreline city.
2) The City of Edmonds recognizes the unique leadership role the City of Seattle
has played in galvanizing interest and support for addressing climate issues by
jurisdictions across the county, and believes Edmonds is called upon to play
a leadership role both within its own community as well as the larger
Puget Sound region.
3) That the role of mass transit, via commuter rail, light rail, bus rapid transit,
and other bus service will be central to addressing many of these challenges,
and Edmonds is uniquely positioned to utilize these strategies
4) The City of Edmonds should strive to address both the need to reduce green
house gas emissions as well as the need to mitigate potential impacts from
future climate change that can affect the Edmonds community.
5) Green house gas emissions should be limited and reduced through a
comprehensive set of strategies, such as incentives for transit-oriented
development, pedestrian-friendly development and similar strategies.
6) Low impact development, which conserves open space, maintains the
integrity of the existing topography, and efficiently uses energy and materials,
should be fostered when possible.
1
Packet Page 150 of 180
7) The City of Edmonds should play an exemplary role as a corporate entity
in meeting the goals and policies laid out through this and like-minded
processes adopted by the Council and Mayor.
8) The education of the public regarding the benefits, projects, and successes
(when achieved) related to these policies should be promoted to the greatest
extent possible.
9) The City shall seek to take action consistent with a complete and coordinated
policy framework rather than using a "one-off" or ad-hoc, piecemeal
approach.
Be it further RESOLVED that the City of Edmonds commits to the following policy
goals:
1) To become an environmental standard bearer for suburban cities under
50,000 population in the following areas:
a. Code development emphasizing incentives for environmentally
sensitive growth
b. Transit oriented development
c. Reduction of green house gas emissions
d. Fostering of LEED and other “green” standards for development
2) Develop a plan for limiting growth of green house gas emissions with a
vision to ultimately reducing per capita levels to a level of “carbon neutrality.”
3) Develop a long term “brand strategy” that highlights this leadership and
leverages the role technology infrastructure can play in a “green” economy in
Edmonds
4) Establish clear vehicles for public education, with possible examples being:
a. Websites
b. Newsletters
c. City participation in local education events (like fairs or tradeshows),
including the possible sponsorship of such events where appropriate
d. Encouraging both public and private demonstration projects that
illustrate how sustainable and “green” development can be
accomplished in both retrofit and new development situations.
Be it further RESOLVED that the City Council directs city staff to complete the
following specific tasks, either through allocation of internal staff or retaining an
external consultant:
1) Inventory and summarize current City code, policy, and operations and the
environmental impact of such; and
2) Consider the status and “lessons learned” of other jurisdictions, both within
and outside of the Puget Sound region, to learn of the experiences, approaches
and potential strategies that Edmonds may employ
3) Report back to the City Council on findings with recommendations for
Council to pursue or adopt “best practices” or strategies to meet the adopted
principles and policies. Reporting should take the form of:
2
Packet Page 151 of 180
a. An annual report and recommendations on an overall approach to
climate change policies and programs timed to correspond with the
annual update of the City’s Comprehensive Plan, which is due to be
adopted by the end of the 2008 calendar year
b. Periodic updates from the Mayor’s ‘Climate Protection’ Committee
reporting on work-in-progress and actions taken on City climate
change and related environmental issues, where appropriate

Interim Zoning Ordinance
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:03/25/2008
Submitted By:Rob Chave Time:15 Minutes
Department:Planning Type:Action
Review Committee:Community/Development Services
Action:Recommend Review by Full Council
Information
Subject Title
Proposed Interim Zoning Ordinance to permit rain water collection tanks in street setbacks
to support development of "green" buildings.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Approve the proposed interim zoning ordinance (Exhibit 1).
Previous Council Action
The Community Services/Development Services Committee considered this request during its
March 11, 2008 meeting, and recommended approval by the full Council (see minutes, Exhibit 4).
Narrative
PCC Natural Markets is developing a new food store at the former Albertson's site at Westgate.
Their stated intent has been to redevelop the property as a LEED-certified building, seeking the
highest level (Platinum) possible for the site. The letter from the project architect (see Exhibit 2)
explains what they are seeking and the rationale for the code amendment. The letter also does a
good job of explaining the potential City policy basis for making the code amendment.
Staff has discussed available options with the City Attorney's office and we have concluded that an
interim zoning code amendment is an appropriate way for the City to deal with this situation. The
argument for proceeding in this expeditious manner is to allow the project to continue at its current
pace, since the project has obtained some but not all of its building permits. The benefits to the City
include, (1) removing code obstacles so as to encourage "green" buildings - especially in
remodeling projects with significant site constraints, and (2) implementing stated City policies to
"promote sustainable building practices" and address the potential issues arising from climate
change. It is not surprising that projects attempting to apply new "green" building practices
should identify conflicts with City zoning regulations, and this is an opportunity to begin to address
these situations in our zoning code.
This proposal was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Community
Services/Development Services Committee. Exhibit 3 contains material provided by the PCC
project architect to the Committee, with Exhibit 4 containing the CS/DS Committee minutes. As
directed by the Committee, the proposed ordinance (Exhibit 1) will implement an interim code
amendment while the Planning Board has an opportunity to further review the code issues
highlighted by this situation. The ordinance (1) limits the size and location of above-ground
rainwater collection tanks within specified setbacks, (2) allows for the City to review any proposal
Packet Page 153 of 180
rainwater collection tanks within specified setbacks, (2) allows for the City to review any proposal
for safety considerations - such as sight distance from an intersection or access point, and (3)
requires that an "educational component" be included as part of the project.

Re: 0738 PCC Natural Market – Edmonds, code amendment proposal
Dear Rob:
We are writing to propose an amendment to the text of the Edmonds Community Development Code, in
accordance with section 20.80.020, regarding rainwater collection tanks in the street setback.
Proposed text amendment
We propose to append the following sentence to the definition of a Street Setback in section 21.90.140:
“Not included are rainwater collection tanks not exceeding the maximum height of the zone and
covering 10% or less of the street setback area. Rainwater collection tanks in a street setback are
permitted below-ground or above-ground in commercial zones and below-ground, but not above-
ground, in residential zones.”
We propose to add the following definition of a Rainwater Collection Tank in a new section 21.85.015:
“Rainwater collection tank means a water tank fully or partially above adjacent grade used for
storing rainwater collected from the roof of the buildings or structures on the same property. The
collected rainwater must be utilized in the building and its surrounding property, with any surplus
discharged to an approved stormwater system.”
Rationale
At the turn of the 21st century, the specter of global climate change became undeniable by the majority of
scientists and policy makers. Myriad responses to the impending crisis emerged, and in 2005 the City of
Edmonds’ mayor signed the U.S. Climate Protection Agreement (http://usmayors.org/climateprotection/
documents/mcpAgreement.pdf). Article C.7 of that Agreement commits the city to: “Practice and
promote sustainable building practices using the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Program or a similar
system.”
Water Efficiency is one of the five major categories of the LEED program and constitutes a significant
portion of another major category, Sustainable Sites. Of the 69 possible credits for LEED-NC 2.2, 5
Packet Page 160 of 180
0738 PCC Natural Market – Edmonds page 2
Rob Chave
3 March 2008
credits (7%) concern reduction of water use in buildings and their surrounding sites. Most buildings
nationwide that have achieved the highest Platinum rating have installed rainwater collection and reuse
systems to provide water for toilets and urinals, mechanical cooling equipment, and irrigation. Prominent
examples of local buildings with rainwater reuse systems include the Seattle City Hall, the Seattle Justice
Center, and the King Street Center, among others.
Rainfall in western Washington is notoriously plentiful in winter and negligible in summer. Storage tanks
are necessary to collect and store winter rain for use in the dry summer. Four to six months of storage can
amount to tens of thousands of gallons, even for a single family house, so these tanks are physically large.
Finding a suitable location for the tank on a building site is a major obstacle to installing rainwater reuse
systems for any project. Underground burial requires prohibitively costly excavation and reinforcement of
the tank structure. Above-ground tanks in the site’s building area displace usable floor area. Locating
tanks in the street setback addresses both of these obstacles.
Above-ground rainwater tanks adjacent to the street provide visible evidence to passing motorists and
pedestrians that a rainwater reuse system exists on the property. Tanks that are buried or tanks inside or
behind a building are invisible to everyone but the few people who maintain them. Like photovoltaic roof
panels and recycling bins, rainwater tanks have become features of the 21st century cityscape. Their
presence educates the public about sustainable practices, a goal of article C.12 of the U.S. Climate
Protection Agreement to which the city is formally committed.
The proposed text amendments are intended to significantly enhance the ability of projects in the city of
Edmonds to install rainwater reuse systems, to achieve LEED water efficiency credits and LEED
certification, to educate the public about rainwater reuse systems, and to help meet the city’s adopted
sustainability goals.
Sincerely,
George Ostrow

Community Services/Development Services Committee Meeting
March 11, 2008
Elected Officials Present: Staff Present:
Peggy Pritchard-Olson, Chair Duane Bowman, Dev. Services Director
D.J. Wilson, Council member Brian McIntosh, Parks and Recreation Director
Rob Chave, Planning Manager
The committee convened at 6:00 p.m.
A. PCC proposal for LEED code amendment.
Rob Chave introduced the topic. He noted that PCC Natural markets are developing a new food
store at the former Albertson’s site in Westgate. Part of their proposal was to re-develop the
property into a LEED certified building, seeking the highest level rating of platinum. In order to
achieve this high rating it is necessary for them to use water recycling. This requires the
construction of a rainwater storage tank on the property and the only location is within the street
setback along 100th Avenue. He pointed out that there are two approaches to addressing this issue.
One would be to go through the normal code amendment process which would not match the
construction timeframe for the new store or to do an interim zoning ordinance.
Mr. Chave introduced George Ostrow, architect for PCC Markets, who explained the LEED rating
system and what they were attempting for the new Edmonds store. He noted that there are only 100
LEED-platinum certified buildings in the world. He stated that the proposed water storage tank
would be approximately 8 feet wide by 12 feet high.
The CS/DS committee expressed strong support for the project and support for an interim zoning
ordinance.
ACTION: The CS/DS Committee directed staff to work with the City Attorney to prepare an interim
zoning ordinance for a limited area, establishing structure height and a component for public
education for consideration by the City Council on March 18, 2008.
B. Continued discussion of request for a bench near the Edmonds Museum and Veterans
Memorial).
Brian McIntosh introduced this topic. He explained that the original request came before the CS/DS
committee in November of 2007 from Myra Rintamaki whose son was killed in Iraq in 2004. Staff
researched the questions posed by the CS/DS committee and responded that
• Mrs. Rintamaki would still like a bench by the Veteran’s Memorial,
• The Cemetery Board has a location at the cemetery near the flag pole that would be
appropriate, and
• A $1,000 grant has been secured from the State Emblem Fund to construct a bench
which must be expended by July 30, 2008.

The CS/DS Committee concurred that the present area around the Veteran’s Memorial was too
crowded to locate a bench and that the cemetery is the best location for a bench that honors all of
the fallen soldiers from our community.
ACTION: The CS/DS committee directed the Parks Director to pursue locating a memorial bench at
the Edmonds Cemetery and to explore engraving that will honor all fallen soldiers.
C. Discussion on Resolution of Environmental Policy and Principles.
Council member Wilson introduced this topic. He felt that it was important that the City Council
provide a policy framework on the environment and especially the implications on development. He
noted that Edmonds has unique environmental features that need to be protected. The intent of the
draft resolution was to build upon the past actions of the city and to take advantage of new
opportunities such as fiber optic infrastructure and the Mayor’s Climate Change Committee. Chair
Olson thought that the draft was a good start and that the Council should be more proactive on
environmental issues.
Staff concurred with the committee comments. Duane Bowman raised a concern regarding the
timeline for the survey mentioned in the draft resolution. He noted that having a Council
environmental policy would be a good thing to weigh against Council actions related to policy and
regulation development. Rob Chave asked for some time to allow staff to respond to the draft. He
noted that he could submit comments by March 12, 2008 to Council member Wilson.
Discussion on schedule identified March 18, 2008 as a good night to open Council discussion on the
draft resolution with the potential for public comments on March 25, 2008.
ACTION: The CS/DS committee directed staff to place this matter on the City Council agenda for
March 18, 2008 and staff to send comments no later than March 12, 2008
The Committee meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m.

Previous Council Action
Narrative
During the February 1 and 2, 2008 City Council retreat, Council members discussed their concerns,
visions, and interests regarding the Downtown Master Plan area as identified within the City of
Edmonds Comprehensive Plan. This area is also known as the Port of Edmonds Harbor Square,
Antique Mall and Skipper properties (includes all properties immediately between Main Street and
the north edge of Edmonds Marsh, and SR 104 and BNSF rail lines).
The City Council also expressed support for the City holding at least two public meetings to
discuss the potential redevelopment of subject area. During the first public meeting scheduled for
March 25, 2008, staff is to present information about the existing redevelopment framework
established by the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. This information is intended to
provide a knowledge base for future discussions. These presentations will be followed by a
presentation(s) given by subject property owners. During a second public meeting, which is
scheduled for April 1, 2008, the public is invited to provide comments on potential redevelopment.
The City Council will discuss possible next steps following the public comment period.
Near the conclusion of discussing this topic at the retreat, the City Council also developed the
following statement: With regard to waterfront Antique Mall, Harbor Square and Skipper
properties, the Council recognizes the importance of being proactive rather than reactive. It is the
intention of the Council to work collaboratively with the property owners to establish a plan for the
area that is consistent with the values and vision of the Council and the public as a whole and the
rights of the property owners and to move forward expeditiously with a public process that may
