CONSENT AAFNOA COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. Because Councilmember Hertrich wished to remove an item, COUNCILMEMBER JAECH WITHDREW THE MOTION. Item (B) was removed from the Con- sent Agenda. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO APPROVE THE BALANCE OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. The approved items on the Consent Agenda include the following: (A) ROLL CALL (C) ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIPT OF CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES FROM KATHRYN J. HAWKINS AND MARY B. WHITTAKER ($952.55) AND KAREN M. MARTINSON ($528.90) APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF JULY 5, 1988 [ITEM (C) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA] Councilmember Hertrich referred to the discussion beginning on page 2 regarding the building at 10012 Edmonds Way. He said his intentional criticism of the architect in failing to provide certain amenities was not included in the minutes, and he requested that they be included. Coun- cilmember Wilson said the issue of verbatim or near verbatim minutes has been discussed in the past. He noted that each and every Councilmember could request additions to the minutes every ,4D ,0week but have chosen not to due to the cost and because reporting of the meeting was not intended to be verbatim. He said he was opposed to Councilmember Hertrich's request. Councilmember Hertrich said he would like his comments to be included because it was not evident in the minutes that his statements were of a critical nature. Councilmember Wilson said the Council must remem- ber that the minutes should reflect focal points of the discussion and that an issue has been adjudicated and not include each and every word that has been uttered by individual Council - members. Councilmember Hertrich said he would vote against approval of the minutes if his com- ments were not included. Councilmember Dwyer suggested that Councilmember Hertrich reiterate the statements that he wished to be included during the Council portion of that evening's meeting so that they could be entered into the minutes. Councilmember Hertrich said he would have to review the tapes of that meeting to recall his statements correctly. He said he would withdraw his re- quest but was hopeful that the temperament of statements made in future meetings is captured in the minutes. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper referred to page 9, 4th paragraph from the bottom, and made the following correction, "Councilmember Kasper recommended that the Council not award", rather than review,"contracts during work sessions ...". MAYOR PRO TEM KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS AMENDED. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH OPPOSED. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper noted that Janet Padgett was invited to the Council meeting to discuss the terms of the contract for the personnel classification study with the Council. COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED TO INCLUDE THAT DISCUSSION DURING THE EXECUTIVE SESSION. City Attorney Scott Snyder suggested that the Council discuss that issue during an open meeting in order to comply with the Open Meetings Act. MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. The discussion was placed as the last item on the regular agenda. CWC-HDR MONTHLY TREATMENT PLANT REPORT Bud Benges, CWC-HDR, Inc., reported that the project remains on the revised schedule. The �•u'�� costs are less than the budgeted cash flow. Mr. Benges said the plans and specifications have been printed, and the City has advertised for bids from contractors. To date, nine general contractors have obtained bidding documents. Mr. Benges noted that there will be a pre -bid meeting on July 13, 1988 to describe the project intricacies to potential bidders. The meeting will be held at Conference Room A at Har- bor Square at 10 a.m. Representatives from D.O.E., Washington D.O.T., and the Port Authority have been invited. Bids are scheduled to be received on August 16, 1988. Mr. Benges reported that the final SEPA check list for the outfali and diffuser has been pre- pared and submitted to the City for making the SEPA determination. He noted that the SEPA deter- mination is required before approval of the Hydraulic Project can be obtained. Mr. Benges added that the EPA grant was submitted to the Regional Administrations office for final approval. Community Services Director Peter Hahn informed the Council that the City received a grant from EPA 'for $16,963,526. He requested that the City Council authorize the Mayor to accept the grant contract and sign the agreement. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE EPA GRANT AGREEMENT. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Hertrich inquired about the amount of funding that the City requested and how much was actually received. Mr. Hahn said $16,963,526 was requested and the full amount was received. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper noted that a grant award ceremony was scheduled on July 15, 1988, 10 a.m., at the treatment plant. He said EPA Administrator Robby Russell will be in attendance. Councilmember Dwyer thanked CWC-HDR representatives and Staff for their efforts which aided in obtaining the grant. REVIEW OF BID RECEIVED ON FIRE BOAT Fire Chief Jack Weinz reported that the fire boat was extensively advertised for sale but only one bid was received. He said he advertised the sale of the equipment separately to draw further interest from potential buyers; however, no inquiries were made. Chief Weinz suggested that either the boat be put back in the water or that the Council accept the bid from the Thurston County Sheriff's office. Councilmember Hertrich asked how extensively the boat was advertised. Chief Weinz said letters were sent to every city in the State and Port District. He said he also spoke to a number of fire departments. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the boat was advertised outside of the State. Chief Weinz replied negatively. He said the costs would have been too prohibitive. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper inquired about the larger donations made by organizations towards to boat. Chief Weinz said $10,000 was donated from Burlington Northern Railroad and $11,000 from the Hubbard Trust. Mayor Pro Tem inquired how the Council wished to disburse the donated monies if the boat was sold. Councilmember Hertrich said he would like those funds to be rededicated for a rescue vessel. Chief Weinz noted that the boat needs approximately $2,000 in plumbing repairs. He said the Thurston County Sheriff's office is aware of that problem, but he would have to call them tomor- row if the bid was accepted to ascertain if they are still willing to accept the boat as is. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper inquired how the boat's performance could be demonstrated while sitting in dry dock. Chief Weinz said the letter guarantees that the boat will perform as stated. Councilmember Wilson suggested that the proceeds from the boat, if sold, be earmarked for a pub- lic safety use which will benefit the waterfront. Councilmember Hertrich said he believed the boat should be advertised more extensively, particu- larly in Alaska because he knew of several cities in Alaska that did not have a fire boat. COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO REQUEST FIRE CHIEF JACK WEINZ TO ADVERTISE THE BOAT IN A WIDER SCOPE OF AREA. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2 July 12, 1988 Chief Weinz said he did not think Thurston County would tender another offer if their bid was rejected. He added that, because the boat is in dry dock and visible at the fire station, many citizens have expressed concern that the boat is not in the water where it belongs. Councilmember Nordquist asked Councilmember Hertrich what he thought the City should receive for the boat. Councilmember Hertrich said he did not believe $20,000 was enough. Councilmember Nordquist said the Council should provide Staff with a dollar figure that would be acceptable. MOTION FAILED WITH COUNCILMEMBER DWYER AND COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER HALL, COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, AND COUNCILMEMBER WILSON OPPOSED. Councilmember Hall inquired how the $20,000 bid was determined. Chief Weinz said the County tendered that bid to the City, noting that the City offered no financial information whatsoever. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO ACCEPT THE BID FROM THE THURSTON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE FOR $20,000 FOR THE FIRE BOAT. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH OPPOSED. Councilmember Hertrich said he was opposed to the motion because he felt that the people that donated monies towards the fire boat should receive a better return and, also, because a thorough effort was not made to notify the advertising media of the sale. COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO EARMARK THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THE FIRE BOAT AND THAT THE COUNCIL DISCUSS THE EXPENDITURE OF THOSE FUNDS AT A FUTURE MEETING; AND THAT THE PEOPLE WHO DONATED MONIES FOR THE BOAT BE CONTACTED. Councilmember Dwyer inquired what the monies would be earmarked for. Councilmember Wilson said he would like the money to be utilized for a public safety use and, hopefully, for the waterfront area. Councilmember Hertrich was in favor of using the monies for a water rescue craft because he said the skin divers who donated monies were interested in water safety rather than fire pro- tection. Councilmember Hall recalled that the intent of the Council at the time the monies were donated was to purchase a fire boat with rescue capabilities. MOTION CARRIED. GENERAL DISCUSSION OF FORWARD REAL ESTATE ACTIONS � 4 Mayor Pro Tem Kasper reported that it was the general consensus of the Council during an execu- tive session that the Council engage in a more detailed discussion of City property needs and alternatives. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper said the City has investigated the possibility of purchasing the Suchert property to build the future Public Safety building on. The Council has also discussed the expan- sion of the facilities at City Hall. Councilmember Nordquist pointed out that the Council was temporarily displaced from City Hall and relocated to the Plaza Meeting Room to conduct Council meetings in the early 1980's and still does not have its own meeting place. He said the time has come for the Council to evaluate the space needs for every department and set some goals. Councilmember Hall suggested that City Hall be expanded either at its present location and 6th Avenue be blocked off or the playfield or College of the Bible property be discussed as an alter- native site during the Council retreat or at a work session. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper said he believed the Suchert property was the most ideal location in the City for the Public Safety building because it has adequate space for Public Safety needs and is adjacent to the Fire Department, which can be expanded in the future if necessary. He noted that the City has approximately twenty days left to make an offer to the owner. He pointed out that the Council must consider both the short-term needs as well as long-term needs. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper noted that the second floor of the Senior Center is seldom used during evening hours. Councilmember Hertrich suggested that the Council respond to the offer made by the Sucherts. Councilmember Wilson said the Council should first determine if it is even feasible to build a Public Works facility on that property before the purchase is considered. Councilmember Nordquist strongly suggested that a committee be formed to evaluate the space needs of City offices; that the composition of that committee be determined by the Council President; and that the Council establish its priorities and purchase property subsequent to a report from that committee. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3 July 12, 1988 Councilmember Jaech noted that the Fire Department had expressed an interest in establishing a fire station in the north end of Edmonds. She suggested that additional space for City offices be rented or leased until the needs of the City are determined, prioritized, and formulated so that City funds will not be lost on the purchase of transitional facilities. Councilmember Dwyer said it will be difficult to identify the needs of the City until it is deter- mined whether or not the Esperance area will be annexed into the City because the addition of 14,000 people will have a direct impact on those needs. Councilmember Jaech suggested that the issue of real estate actions be further discussed at the Fall retreat. COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, THAT COUNCIL PRESIDENT KASPER APPOINT A COMMITTEE OF THREE COUNCILMEMBERS AND, IF APPROPRIATE, SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY TO EVALUATE THE CITY'S NEEDS AND SUBMIT A REPORT TO THE COUNCIL AT THE FALL RETREAT. Councilmember Hall suggested that the Land Use Committee be contacted because she said they con- ducted research that could be helpful in determining the City's needs. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the Council intended to pursue the Suchert property as a possible location for Public Works. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper discussed the value of that property. Councilmember Nordquist raised a point of order. He said the motion on the floor pertained to forming a committee and not to the value of the Suchert property. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Hertrich suggested that the Council determine whether or not it wished to pursue the Suchert property. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper said the Council should notify the Sucherts that the City is interested in that property but is not prepared to make an offer within the time frame that was allotted to the City. REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS REGARDING THEIR BOARD ATTENDANCE/PARTICIPATION Councilmember Hall said she and Councilmember Nordquist attended the Health Board meeting that day. She reported that funding may be available through the legislature via the Utility Tax. In addition, Mayor Moore of Everett has also discussed a formula -type funding. Councilmember Hall said the Finance Committee will meet next week, and she said she would report back to the Coun- cil. Councilmember Hall said the Health District is pursuing a special program for A.I.D.S. She state further that the Health Officer and/or fire departments of various cities may be called upon to control and judge whether a property, after having been utilized as a drug lab, would be suitable for habitation. Councilmember Nordquist noted that enforcement will be the responsibili- ty of local governments. He said that eight cases of A.I.D.S have been reported to date within the County. Councilmember Jaech inquired how the Police Department has governed buildings that were once used as drug labs. Police Chief Dan Prinz said more drug labs are being established in the North- west. He said not only are they hazardous to the health of the manufacturers of drugs but also to the people that dismantle the lab. Police Chief Prinz said everything must be decontaminated before it is transported from _the lab to police property rooms. He noted that officers must wear protective clothing. Councilmember Hall added that an ordinance will be proposed in the future addressing the issue of drug labs. Councilmember Hall reported that the July 20 meeting will determine whether or not to place the Cultural Arts issue on the September or November ballot. Councilmember Dwyer noted that the Vice-chairman of the Board of the Southwest Snohomish County Communications Agency, Chief Weinz, was sitting in the audience. Councilmember Dwyer stated that the City was recently able to obtain liability insurance. He said the Public Safety Committee was currently in the process of commencing labor negotiations with the two different bargaining units. Councilmember Hertrich said the West Corridor Steering Committee plans to travel to Vashon Island to study its cross -Sound transportation problems. Councilmember Hertrich noted that the difference between the initial vote by PSCOG regarding the Paine Field airport and the SCOT vote was the addition and modification of wording. Councilmember Hertrich reported that the Drug Enforcement Task Force Advisory Board was scheduled to meet that week. He said the Task Force intends to request additional funding from the City. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4 July 12, 1988 He was hopeful that the Council would grant their request because he felt the money would be well spent. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper said Community Transit has acquired twenty-one additional busses. Service has recently been extended to Bellevue on a six-month to one-year trial basis. Service within the County will be provided by Community Transit rather than by Metro. He said the 2,001 study plan will be discussed on Friday, and the tax study has commenced. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper said the Tourism Committee will show the first footage of the City video next Monday. Councilmember Hertrich inquired how it is determined which boards are monetarily compensated. City Attorney Scott Snyder said Councilmembers set their own salaries with City funds, but mem- bers of other boards are paid by the particular board on which they serve and not with City funds. Councilmember Dwyer said State statute allows monetary compensation for certain services but does not compel that compensation. He inquired if certain boards had considered doing away with compensation when they were in financial distress, i.e., the Health District. Councilmember Hall said the Health Board justifies compensation to its members because of the time in effort and travel that is involved. She said the Board offers compensation as an inducement for members to serve on the Board who otherwise may not attend meetings. She added that compensation to its board members will not "make or break the Health District". Councilmember Nordquist said the Health Board used to meet during business hours and the County Commissioners established monetary compensation because the members were taken away from their work place to attend the meetings. MAYOR Mayor Pro Tem Kasper noted that the original montage of the City of Edmonds was on display in the Plaza Meeting Room. He said the purchase price was $700 unframed. The Mayor, he said, has agreed to contribute $200 from his budget towards the purchase. He said $180 remains in the Arts a Festival purchase budget so the Council should allocate $320 plus tax for the purchase. COUNCIL - MEMBER WILSON MOVED TO APPROPRIATE $375 TO PURCHASE THE MONTAGE. Because Councilmember Hall thought the montage should be framed, COUNCILMEMBER WILSON WITHDREW THE MOTION. Councilmember Kasper said the frame would cost an additional $100. COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO APPROPRIATE $482.40 TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE FRAMED ARTWORK. Councilmember Dwyer said he did not like the montage. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER DWYER OPPOSED. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper noted that a meeting of the Snohomish County Cities & Towns is scheduled on ,July 27 at 6:30 p.m. at Henry's Lady in Marysville. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper said a copy of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is available for review in the Council office. Councilmember Jaech said she received a copy of the advertisement for the Personnel Manager's n position. She suggested that the City not hire anyone for that position until the personnel classification study has been completed. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, TO PUT A FREEZE ON HIRING A PERSON- NEL MANAGER UNTIL THE PERSONNEL CLASSIFICATION STUDY HAS BEEN COMPLETED. Councilmember Dwyer expressed concern regarding a freeze on hiring because he said the position has been advertised and applications have been taken. He felt that scenario to be a bit bizarre and would dissuade a competent person from accepting that position. He said there was sufficient time between now and when the position would be vacant to resolve the issue. Councilmember Jaech said the intent of the motion was to freeze the hiring of a manager and not to prohibit interview- ing. Councilmember Dwyer inquired if the Personnel Manager position was a position that was subject to Council confirmation. City Attorney Scott Snyder replied affirmatively. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER DWYER AND COUNCILMEMBER KASPER OPPOSED. Councilmember Hall read a memorandum into the record from Roy P. Brooks requesting the Council to consider placing a predominant sign at the Marina Beach Park stating "No Radios or Taped Music" because he said the pleasant sounds of the shore are overwhelmed by "jungle music" from portable radios and car stereos. Councilmember Hertrich suggested that the memorandum be filed and no action taken unless a number of similar complaints are received.. Councilmember Hertrich commended Hydraulics Engineer Jerry Hauth for helping to obtain the $56,737.50 grant that the City received for the drainage program. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if any Councilmember intended to meet with the Edmonds School District superintendent in response to his invitation. Councilmember Dwyer replied affirmative- ly. Councilmember Hertrich inquired how the Council felt about closure of the Edmonds High EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5 July 12, 1988 School. Councilmember Wilson said he spoke to an acquaintance of his who specializes in large remodel projects, and his opinion was that it would be a big mistake not to remodel the school because it could be made to be extremely functional for a nominal cost. Councilmember Hall said she had deep-seated problems with demolition of the high school because she said it would deci- mate the City in that it would send a message that Edmonds is not a family -oriented community. She said the community would become a condominium city by the sea. She said it behooves the Council, who represent the citizens who wish to court single-family residences within the City, to make the position of the City known at the school board meetings. Councilmember Wilson said it did not make economic sense to him to demolish the school because the children would then have to be bussed out of town, which would cost tens of thousands of bussing dollars over the years and would equate to what it would cost to remodel the school. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the City was receiving services above and beyond what it had contracted for with the Sno-Isle Regional Library because he said the City has $469,080 in as- signed costs but the contract fee was only $330,790. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper replied affirmatively. Councilmember Nordquist said he read an article in the newspaper recently that Mountlake Ter- race's fire equipment was substandard. He inquired if the City was receiving the same quality of fire protection from Mountlake Terrace that it had contracted for or if the services had been reduced. Fire Chief Jack Weinz said that article was somewhat misleading and biased. He said Mountlake Terrace's equipment was newer than the City's equipment and that the agreement between the two cities has not changed. Councilmember Kasper said he did not understand why the City has not requested a better rating. Chief Weinz said the City has a lower rating than Mountlake Ter- race only because he has not called for a re -rating. He said he intends to call for a re -rating when the City hires three additional staff members next year because manpower was an item indicat- ed to be deficient in the last rating report. Councilmember Nordquist inquired if the study of the circulation system for the Community Servic- es and Public Safety buildings was conducted. Mr. Hahn replied affirmatively. He said any addi- tional work that may be necessary will be submitted first to the Council for review and approval. Councilmember Wilson inquired about the status of the property by Pine Street and SR 104 which has an illegal trailer parked on it and was denied a height variance. City Attorney Scott Snyder said there was a trial setting within the next few weeks on prosecution of the owner. Councilmember Wilson inquired if Mr. Hahn had read the article regarding the use of ultraviolet lights to kill bacteria in public water supplies. Mr. Hahn replied negatively. He said he would research that issue. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper introduced Janet Padgett. Ms. Padgett was selected to conduct the personnel classification study of the top seventeen positions in the City. Ms. Padgett said the proposal that was submitted to the Council was a result of conversations she had with them and was only a draft and was subject to modification, if necessary. COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, THAT COUNCILMEMBER KASPER ACT AS A LIAISON BETWEEN THE COUNCIL AND MS. PADGETT. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Nordquist inquired if Ms. Padgett was amenable to meeting with the Council for several hours in the near future to review the terms of the contract. Ms. Padgett replied affir- matively. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if the Council wanted to wait until the classification study was completed before reviewing the intricacies of the project or if a periodic review was desired. Ms. Padgett said she would be happy to provide a status report to the Council. Councilmember Hertrich said he thought it would be advisable to periodically discuss the progress of the study rather than await a report at the conclusion of the study. Mr. Snyder inquired if the $5,000 figure was a cap on expenses or if Ms. Padgett intended to bill the City on an hourly basis and not to exceed $5,000. Ms. Padgett said she would bill for her services based on an hourly rate and not to exceed $5,000. Mr. Snyder inquired how her services would be billed if the Council expressed additional concerns midway through the project. Ms. Padgett said the contract was based on a maximum cost of $5,000. She said, however, if the Coun- cil decided to expand the scope of the project, the fee would be renegotiated. Councilmember Jaech said her understanding was that the study would be conducted and the findings reviewed with the Council before a final report was drafted; if the Council wished to expand the scope of work upon completion of the study, they would discuss any additional costs with Ms. Padgett at that time. Ms. Padgett said she thought the Personnel Manager's position was not included in the study. Because the Council said they had intended that position to be reviewed, Ms. Padgett said she EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6 July 12, 1988 would include that position in the study. Discussion ensued regarding the events that took place which led to the exclusion of the Personnel Manager's position from the list. Councilmember Jaech suggested that an addendum be attached to the contract enumerating the positions to be studied and that it be submitted to the Council for approval. Mayor Pro Tem Kasper asked Mr. Snyder to advise the Council whether the liquor license issue regarding the Corner Store on Puget Drive should be discussed during the Executive Session. He gave Mr. Snyder a written synopsis to read of recent events regarding the issue which the City Clerk had provided him. After reading the synopsis, Mr. Snyder suggested that the petition re- garding the liquor license application on Puget Drive be discussed during an open meeting rather than in an Executive Session in order to comply with the Open Meetings Act. He said the discus- sion would entail the Council's policy or recommendation to the liquor board, both of which re- late to public policy. He said the only exemption would be legal advice, which he said he stated during. last week's meeting. Councilmember Hall requested that a copy of the written synopsis be provided to the Council. Councilmember Wilson suggested that the issue be discussed next week. The meeting recessed to an Executive Session at 9:15 p.m. to discuss the litigation report on McCormick vs. Hanchett and City of Edmonds, as well as a personnel matter, and adjourned thereaf- ter. These minutes are subject to July 19, 1988 approval. JACQUELINE G.
