3. UPDATE BY COMMUNITY TRANSIT
Todd Morrow, Chief of Strategic Communications, thanked Councilmember Bernheim, the alternate
on the Community Transit Board, for his participation. He provided an update on Community Transit, the
Packet Page 5 of 117
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 19, 2011
Page 3
service they provide in the community and throughout Snohomish County. He described who is riding
the bus, the long range transit plan, Community Transit’s financial situation and efforts to find new
revenue.
Community Transit carries about 10 million passengers a year or 43,000 people each weekday. Swift,
which has been successful, carries about 1/10th of riders or about 1 million people a year. A Community
Transit program to reduce trips, Curb the Congestion, in partnership with Snohomish County takes
commuters off the most congested roadways including 164th Street, 128th Street and 20th Street. This
project takes about 300 people out of their cars on those corridors on an average workday. Community
Transit also has a very big Commute Trip Reduction program where they work with large employers.
Mr. Morrow displayed a map of daily boardings in Edmonds; Edmonds has 13 Community Transit bus
routes and 173 bus stops and a total of 727 buses serve Edmonds every weekday. On an average weekday,
1,906 people board buses within Edmonds. An on-board survey conducted last fall found people from all
demographics ride Community Transit; 25-64 year olds make up 70% of their ridership and more women
(54%) than men (46%) ride Community Transit buses. 70% of Community Transit riders have at least
some college education and ridership is fairly balanced between all income levels. Although many believe
that bus riders are people with no other transportation option, the survey revealed 60% of riders are choice
riders; they have a car but choose to ride the bus instead.
Mr. Morrow displayed a map of the 2030 multi-modal network from their Long Range Transit Plan.
Community Transit recently adopted a vision for transit in Snohomish County in the next 20 years and
looks at a variety of issues including how transit service is integrated with land use regulations, road
development, population and housing density. The vision is a transit emphasis corridor approach; the goal
is to develop a system of high ridership corridors likely served by new Swift routes. Community Transit
envisions doubling the current amount of service over the next 20 years, an additional 500,000 hours of
new service, expanding their fleet and other capital construction which will require new revenue.
He referred to a corridor planning framework, the strategy for reaching the higher levels of service on key
corridors. He acknowledged this was ambitious, particularly in view of Community Transit’s current
revenue situation. Similar to Edmonds, Community Transit has been hard hit by reduced sales tax revenue
from the recession. After 2007, Community Transit sales tax revenue dropped approximately 20% and
remained there for three years. Community Transit will have lost $207 million in revenue by 2013. Sales
tax revenue in 2011 is at 2005 levels while labor, fuel, equipment costs continue to increase.
Community Transit has tightened its belt, beginning with cutting $29 million in programs and
administrative costs, deferring projects and purchases and not filling vacant positions. Last June
Community Transit cut 15% of their service including total suspension of service on Sunday and raised
fares for the second time in 3 years. In 2010 Community Transit eliminated 83 service related positions
(bus drivers, mechanics) and in 2011 Community Transit laid off 20 administrative staff including 2
executives. Unfortunately that was not enough; Community Transit is now planning to reduce service by
up to another 20% in February 2011. Although this is an unwanted step, it is Community Transit’s only
choice given the inability to raise the sales tax rate which is at the state authorized maximum.
The economy has been reset and Community Transit needs to similarly resize its agency to be sustained
on current levels of revenue. In the coming weeks and months, Community Transit will conduct efforts to
involve the community. In April they are holding a Transit Values exercise with community leaders and
riders. This exercise helps to explain the choices and tradeoffs when designing a transit system and takes
groups through an exercise of reducing the system and making difficult choices based on their values.
This helps people understand choices and will help the Community Transit Board understand the
community’s values when making decisions this summer.

At the Board’s direction, staff is preparing three service cut alternatives to present to the public for review
and comment during June. There will be several community open houses and information available on
their website as well as via social media. This will culminate in a public hearing before the Community
Transit Board in early July. Following the guidance of the Board and the public, staff will submit a final
service plan this summer that will be presented to the Board at their September meeting for final action.
Mr. Morrow summarized services must be cut in 2012 and the process to do that has already started. In
the meantime Community Transit continues to seek new sources of revenue. There are three initiatives
underway being championed by State Representative Marko Liias on behalf of transit riders in Snohomish
County:
1. Congestion Relief bill
2. Regional Mobility Grant to provide some funding for a small amount of Sunday service
3. Transportation Additive funding bill
He acknowledged these were temporary solutions; Community Transit needs a reliable state funding
source. MVET previously funded 1/3 of Community Transit’s operations; now the agency primarily relies
on sales tax, a very volatile funding source. Community Transit is also taking initiative to increase
revenue via the Buy Local for Transit campaign, working with local businesses to offer discounts to
transit riders to encourage those riders to shop locally which supports local businesses, communities,
creates jobs and generates sales tax.
Councilmember Wilson expressed his appreciation for Mr. Morrow’s involvement and engagement with
Edmonds. He expressed concern that the Congestion Relief bill did not allow for a public vote, pointing
out Edmonds voters rejected a $40 increase in the vehicle license fee. Mr. Morrow advised the bill was
amended to include that as an option.
Mayor Cooper referred to the Congestion Relief legislation, advising the Senate took Snohomish County
out of the bill and it would only apply to King County. He supported including Community Transit when
the bill goes to Congress.
Councilmember Wilson asked about the legislature’s concerns when they compared King County Metro
with Community Transit. Mr. Morrow offered to provide information.
Councilmember Bernheim commented one of the consequences of not supporting Community Transit
with taxes or another funding source is service cuts or tremendous fare increases. This is an example of
people paying for a service if they want it to continue or suffering when the service is unavailable.
4. PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENT TO ECDC 20.20 (HOME
OCCUPATIONS). PROPOSED CHANGES INCLUDE SHIFTING THE PROCESS FROM TYPE
3-B (HEARING EXAMINER REVIEW) TO TYPE 2 (STAFF DECISION) WHILE RETAINING
NOTICE AND APPEAL RIGHTS. ALSO PROPOSED ARE CHANGES THAT WOULD SET
LIMITS FOR POTENTIAL HOME OCCUPATIONS, AS WELL AS ESTABLISHING NEW
RULES FOR URBAN FARMERS AND ARTIST STUDIOS.
Planning Manager Rob Chave explained the Council held a public hearing in January 2011, reconsidered
their vote in February, and referred the issue to the Council’s Community Services/Development Services
Committee. The Committee reviewed the matter and forwarded the current ordinance draft to the Council.
Mr. Chave explained under the proposed amendments, most home occupations are permitted as they
always have been. There is no change for a person with a home occupation in their home with no
Packet Page 7 of 117
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 19, 2011
Page 5
employees or visitors. There are currently 346 active home occupations in the City, approximately 2% of
Edmonds households. In the last five years, there have been two Conditional Use Permits (CUP) for home
occupations. There has been concern expressed that the proposed amendments will result in more home
occupations with CUPs; however, two CUPs in five years indicates there is not a great demand.
Under the proposed amendments, the cost to apply for a home occupations CUP is reduced from the
current $1550 to $585. One of the reasons this amendment was initiated was an individual who wanted to
have students come to his home one at a time. Since he was earning a nominal amount, the cost of the
CUP was prohibitive. A $1550 fee for someone doing amateur/part-time instruction is not appropriate
because they are not earning a great deal. The prohibition in the current code on retail sales remains;
home occupations are not retail operations. Under the proposed process there is still public notice. The
public hearing under the proposed amendments would only occur if someone objected to or appealed the
decision to allow a home occupation rather than the automatic hearing in the existing ordinance.
In the current home occupations chapter, there is no upper limit. As long a home occupations is not doing
retail sales, they can ask for any number of employees or visitors and approval of the request occurs via
the Hearing Examiner process. The proposed amendments provide an upper limit that a home occupation
cannot exceed: one visitor per hour, no visitors between 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. An applicant is not
automatically allowed one visitor per hour; they still have the burden of proof with regard to traffic,
parking, etc.
The proposed update also provides for art studios and limited home farm produce sales which is not
allowed under the existing code. Under the existing code an artist could have a studio tour via an event
permit. Because Edmonds is an arts community, there should be a process for art studios to have visitors
who can purchase their art.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked about signage. Mr. Chave answered any residential property can
currently have 4 square feet of signage on their property. The proposed amendment clarifies that a sign
regarding the business is part of the overall 4 square feet, not in addition. The current code is silent on
whether it is additional signage.
Councilmember Plunkett asked whether the Mayor can veto an ordinance. Mayor Cooper answered he
can.
Councilmember Wilson observed that under the existing code residential signage does not require a CUP.
Mr. Chave agreed. Councilmember Wilson anticipated there would be confusion because the proposed
amendments state a person desiring a sign is required to obtain a CUP. Mr. Chave explained a person
whose home occupation does not have visitors is unlikely to need a sign. A CUP is required for a sign
regarding the business. Councilmember Wilson anticipated this would put staff in a difficult situation; a
resident could say they get 4 square feet of signage but the City requires a $585 CUP to include the name
of their business. Mr. Chave agreed that was a policy call, staff took a fairly conservative approach.
Councilmember Wilson commented he just did not want neon flashing signs in residential neighborhoods.
Mr. Chave advised that was not allowed. Councilmember Wilson did not want residents to be required to
spend $585 for a sign stating their business name.
Councilmember Buckshnis advised she received a call from a mother whose daughter, an attorney,
wanted to have a home occupation in their house and was denied. She asked the reason. Mr. Chave was
not familiar with that specific application; there is a presumption in the current code that a professional
must show they will not have any visitors to the residents. It may be that she could not say there would
not be clients coming to the house. A home occupation with visitors requires a CUP process.

Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 19, 2011
Page 6
Councilmember Bernheim asked whether lawyers, CPAs, engineers were covered by the home
occupations regulations. Mr. Chave answered they are; under the proposed code if they had visitors or an
employee, a staff processed CUP would be required.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if the CUP requirement for a home occupation with visitors and/or
employees was to prevent traffic in neighborhoods. Mr. Chave answered it is to prevent excessive traffic,
noise, etc. in a residential area, but also to allow traffic, etc. to occur at a reasonable level.
Mayor Cooper opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, advised attorneys are a prohibited home occupation based on the fact that
their services are provided to persons throughout the city or the regional community rather than the
neighborhood. He asked how a person with a home occupation proved they served the neighborhood and
how the code would be enforced. He expressed concern that the cost for a person to file an appeal of a
staff decision to the Hearing Examiner was substantially more than the home occupation application fee.
He suggested eliminating the cost of an appeal in an effort to protect the neighborhood. With regard to
hours of operation, he suggested 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. would be more reasonable. He also recommended
restricting signage.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, noted the City has had two Hearing Examiners in the past five years. He attends
most meetings but feared the Council may not understand the process because they do not attend Hearing
Examiner meetings. He was concerned with the cost for a resident to appeal a decision regarding a home
occupation.
Hearing no further comment, Mayor Cooper closed the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas observed the City currently had a home occupations code and home
occupations were allowed in all areas of the City. She asked how the code was enforced today. Mr. Chave
answered all the City’s enforcement is by complaint. Any complaints are investigated by Code
Enforcement.
For Councilmember Fraley-Monillas, Mr. Chave advised there had been two home occupation CUPs
approved in five years. She asked how many denials there have been. Mr. Chave answered none. There
have been people who are discouraged from applying for a home occupation CUP due to the cost.
Councilmember Plunkett asked whether the current code discourages home occupations via the cost. Mr.
Chave explained it discourages home occupations such as music teachers who may have a few students in
a day and because they do not make a great deal of money, the cost of a CUP is prohibitive.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NO. 3840, AMENDING THE PROVISIONS OF THE
EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE TO REPEAL AND REENACT CHAPTER
20.20 HOME OCCUPATIONS, AND FIXING A TIME WHEN THE SAME SHALL BECOME
EFFECTIVE.
Councilmember Plunkett explained he had been interested in amending the code due to the cost.
However, instead of minor changes, the amendments have become a complete change. Edmonds does not
encourage home occupations. Under the proposed amendments, Chapter 20.20, Intent/Purpose, states this
chapter seeks to encourage home, work and business activity. He expressed concern that the code was
being changed from discouraging home occupations to encouraging them. Neighborhoods are the most
Packet Page 9 of 117
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 19, 2011
Page 7
important part of Edmonds; he feared neighborhoods would be sacrificed to encourage businesses. He did
not support the motion, anticipating residents did not want businesses in their neighborhoods.
Council President Peterson thanked staff and the Planning Board for developing and reviewing the
proposed amendments. He pointed out 2% of Edmonds homes have home occupations, that does not
reflect that they are discouraged. The proposed amendments establish a better, cleaner, more obvious
process for the applicant as well as the neighbors. He supported having CUP decisions made by staff
rather than the Hearing Examiner due to the cost, particularly for art studios. Art is an important part of
Edmonds history and its economic development. He did not anticipate the proposed amendments would
open the floodgates to home occupations.
Councilmember Wilson echoed Council President Peterson’s praise of staff and the Planning Board,
noting the Council has also done a good job reflecting public intent and concern. He disagreed with
Councilmember Plunkett’s categorization, pointing out the current code has no limitation on the number
of employees, number of visitors or hours that a home occupation can operate. The proposed amendments
place restrictions on those and make it much harder to have a sign than the current code. The proposed
amendments protect neighborhoods. Home occupations in Edmonds are not a trivial number, 2% of
households have a home occupation. If the City wants to make a case to voters that the City needs more
revenue, it should not at the same time limit economic development. Those who do not support a levy this
fall should support economic development and this is a concrete way to do so. He summarized the
proposed amendments clean up the code in a way that supports the 2% of households have home
occupations.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETSO, TO
AMEND PAGE 4 OF THE ORDINANCE, CHAPTER 20.20.001, PARAGRAPH 6, TO READ,
“DOES NOT INCLUDE VISITS FROM CUSTOMERS BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 9:00 6:00 PM
AND 8:00 9:00 AM.”
Councilmember Buckshnis commented home occupations should follow the protocol of normal
businesses and visitors should not be allowed later than 6:00 pm. Mr. Chave answered home occupations
are not normal businesses and are not open to the public during normal business hours. For example, a
person teaching music is likely to do so in the evening rather than during the day because parents work
during the day and bring their child for music lessons after work. He was concerned that being overly
restrictive would eliminate a class of home occupations.
Councilmember Bernheim agreed with Mr. Chave, explaining he wanted to allow a music teacher to
provide music lessons until 8:00 p.m. Parents do not have time to take their children to music lessons
from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. He envisioned a music lesson was a more realistic prospect in the future than a
metal fabrication plant. If problems arise in the future such as noise in neighborhoods after hours, changes
can be made. He preferred to be as flexible as possible and respond if there are any problems. He
anticipated the problems were being exaggerated noting that most home occupations are quiet and occur
without notice.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas advised she did not support the amendment for the reason
Councilmember Bernheim mentioned. The hours are appropriate for any type of lessons; people typically
do not take lessons during the day because they are at work or school. She has not heard any complaints
about home occupations operating during evening hours.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained having a person conduct lessons 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm when a
person may want to go to bed is not reasonable for neighborhoods. People can take lessons on Saturdays
and Sundays; 9:00 pm is too late. She offered to change the end time to 7:00 pm.

COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
AMEND PAGE 4 OF THE ORDINANCE, CHAPTER 20.20.001, PARAGRAPH 6, TO READ,
“DOES NOT INCLUDE VISITS FROM CUSTOMERS BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 9:00 7:00 PM
AND 8:00 9:00 AM.”
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented 7:00 p.m. was too restrictive.
Council President Peterson agreed 7:00 p.m. was too restrictive. With the amendment, the lesson would
need to end at 7:00 p.m. For example piano lessons could not start after 6:00 p.m. Under the hours in the
proposed ordinance, the lessons would end at 9:00 p.m.
THE VOTE ON THE AMENDING MOTION FAILED (3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS BUCKSHNIS,
PLUNKETT, AND PETSO VOTING YES.
THE VOTE ON THE MAIN MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT
VOTING NO.
5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Natalie Shippen, Edmonds, advised she will not support any levy options on an August ballot unless an
option for a change to a City Manager form of government is also on the ballot. In three years of
relentless speculation about Edmonds revenues, no citizen committee or Council as ever addressed why a
prosperous town during a prosperous decade fell so far behind in its upkeep and low in reserves that an
economic downturn could not be weathered without a ballot measure for operating costs. She anticipated
Edmonds’ form of government contributed to the failure. Under the strong Mayor-Council structure,
political calculation sometimes trumps sound financial judgment. A mayor who anticipates he will run for
multiple terms in office is reluctant to propose unpopular measures such as raising taxes or cutting
services even though foresight might dictate it is necessary. Over time that reluctance, coupled with
consecutive terms in office can erode a city’s financial position. A City Manager knows that prospective
employers will look first at his handling of public money. This incentive to provide good management is
greater than merely reelection to office. If the Council asks voters for operating money, it should also ask
who residents want to manage the budget in the future, a professional administrator or a political
administrator.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, invited the public to Easter Egg hunts at 236th/84th at 9:00 a.m. Saturday and at
10:00 a.m. in downtown Edmonds. With regard to Community Transit, he noted all transit agencies are
having financial difficulties. He suggested Community Transit focus on the most well used routes because
a full bus generates more revenue than an empty bus. He suggested Community Transit also determine
how to encourage people to ride the bus.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, was disappointed the Council did not discuss his concern that appeals of
staff decisions will cost a resident more than the applicant for a home occupation. Next, he advised there
were no Finance Department representatives at the Finance Committee meeting and no update on the
City’s current financial position was provided. The City lost its Finance Director and is now using a
temporary Finance Director. He referred to Mayor Cooper’s proposed levy, commenting it was
Packet Page 11 of 117
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 19, 2011
Page 9
inappropriate to request a levy when the City’s financial condition is not clear. He requested Mayor
Cooper make a statement regarding the City’s financial condition.
6. DISCUSSION OF LEVY OPTIONS.
Council President Peterson explained as promised this is an opportunity to discuss levy options. Mayor
Cooper’s proposal is a starting point. Public comment on levy options is scheduled for the May 3
meeting. If the Council wishes to place a levy on the August ballot, the deadline is May 24; therefore a
decision must be made by the May 17 meeting.
Councilmember Buckshnis reported the Citizen Levy Committee is meeting on Thursday and will provide
their summary. The Committee has not yet provided a recommendation as they were unaware that a levy
would be proposed for the August ballot. She did not support an operating levy but would support a
specialized levy: $1.5 million/year 3-year levy for streets, $200,000/year 3-year levy for the Edmonds
Center for the Arts and $300,000/year 3-year for the Parks & Recreation Flower Program which totals $2
million or $0.35 cents/$1000 AV. She echoed Mr. Hertrich’s concern with the financials. She summarized
she would support what she feels is needed – streets, parks and the arts.
Councilmember Bernheim expressed his general support for a levy, stating he was open to all options. He
emphasized State law limits increases in the City’s property tax to 1% per year; property tax is the City’s
primary revenue source. Expenses exceed a 1% growth rate due to the growth of the City, additional
services the City needs to provide and because the cost of providing existing services increases every year
similar to citizens’ household budgets. He supported a levy concept although he needed documentation
regarding the severity of the problem and reliable budget data. The Council Finance Committee did not
have an opportunity to talk with the Finance Director at their last meeting due to his absence without
notice to the Committee. In addition, at one of the Finance Committee meetings, the monthly report was
not distributed prior to the meeting. As a member of the Finance Committee who is not a finance expert
and is responsible to the Council with regard to the City’s finances, he seeks guidance from the City’s
administration. Although he might mistrust, question or challenge the financial information, he would
have difficulty selling a levy to the people without financial information. He summarized the credibility
of the problem was the most important area to address prior to placing a levy on the ballot.
Councilmember Plunkett reiterated the comments he made at the last Council meeting. The City’s
operating budget will increase $5.5 million over the next five years, $4.7 million of that is labor costs. He
cannot support an operating levy until the escalating labor and medical benefits costs are addressed. He
could support a levy for capital and/or maintenance.
Council President Peterson expressed his support for Mayor Cooper’s proposal with possibly some
additions. With regard to a Councilmember not supporting a levy for operations and only capital, a
breakdown provided by Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite of the Flower Program costs illustrates
that most of the cost of that program is labor which is operations. His concern with separating operations
from capital was investment in capital requires people to make the capital work. For example, investing in
new police cars requires hiring officers to drive the cars. He noted that was his philosophical concern and
he understood the concern of not relying on a 3-year levy to fund a lot of new positions. The City is a
service industry, without people, none of the work gets done. He questioned the ability to separate labor
and benefits costs from capital.
With regard to the City’s finances, Council President Peterson echoed Councilmember Bernheim’s
comments regarding the 1% cap on property tax increases and expenditures increasing more than
1%/year. The Council has been discussing a levy for a number of years; admittedly he changed his mind
two years ago regarding placing a levy on the ballot. Two years ago the Council was in agreement that
Packet Page 12 of 117
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 19, 2011
Page 10
things were bad and they certainly have not gotten any better. While Councilmembers may bicker over
the financials, they can agree that the City needs a financial boost.
If the Council’s concern with obtaining reports is so great, he suggested investing funds from the Capital
Reserve Fund in the Finance Department to upgrade the system to get the reports Councilmember
Buckshnis has seen in other cities. He noted the City’s system is at least a generation behind.
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out the reports used by other cities are Excel spreadsheets. Council
President Peterson suggested the Council invest in a person to do the required data entry; that manpower
is not currently available in Finance. He agreed the money trail should be transparent and that goal will
require an upfront investment.
Councilmember Petso apologized to the three citizens who attended the last Finance Committee meeting
who expected a Finance Department representative to be at the meeting; she expected a representative to
be at the meeting. She has been assured that someone from finance will attend the May Finance
Committee meeting and questions can be asked about the monthly reports and begin review of the City’s
existing financial polices and if necessary adopt new financial policies.
Councilmember Petso relayed she has been told a permanent Finance Director will not be hired by May
and she will not have the new numbers. She has met three times with the Public Facilities District (PFD)
regarding their needs but did not expect the PFD to have a complete picture of their needs by May. She
was unsure whether those timing issues meant the levy could not be placed on the August ballot or if the
Council would place it on the ballot on the assumption that information would be available in time for the
August election. She summarized the timing is very rushed on at least two issues. Although Mayor
Cooper had hoped to provide updated financials tonight, the financial projections still show a beginning
fund balance of $2.8 million; she has reason to believe the City ended 2010 at $3 million. She would be
more excited about an operation levy if the numbers available at the time the Council makes their
decision reflect the best information available.
Mayor Cooper explained he made a policy decision in his role as Mayor not to have the interim Finance
Director attend the Finance Committee meeting. The monthly report was delivered on time to the Finance
Committee. The City pays an agency for a temporary Finance Director by the hour; he felt it was more
important to have the Finance Director working during regular business hours on the day-to-day
operations of the City rather than attend a Finance Committee meeting in the evening and take time off to
avoid overtime. He has requested the interim Finance Director attend the May meeting and provide the
quarterly report. The interim Finance Director is available to answer Council questions. For example,
Councilmember Buckshnis raised a question about the monthly report and an error was promptly
corrected. The Finance Department is already understaffed and because the interim Finance Director is
paid on an hourly basis, his time must be used in the most efficient manner possible. Rewriting the reports
will happen when a permanent Finance Director is hired.
Councilmember Plunkett complimented Mayor Cooper, explaining until he became the Mayor,
administration and Finance Director Lorenzo Hines ignored financial reporting and transparency. Early
last year the Council unanimously passed a request for financial reporting which the Finance Director
ignored. Mayor Cooper has expressed interest in addressing the Council’s request for financial reporting.
Councilmember Plunkett pointed out the Flower Program is operating and he preferred not to have that
program funded via a levy because if a levy failed it would mean the City would discontinue the Flower
Program. He did not want to include funding for either the Flower Program or public safety in a levy and
preferred to fund those programs via the operating budget. His support for a levy would not be based on
whether it funded the Flower Program.

Councilmember Buckshnis commented the Finance Director did not attend Finance Committee meetings
during the last quarter of 2010. She noted the data dump had occurred, it simply needed to be formatted
into a report where the numbers tie. The largest issue is the forecasting mechanism does not have all the
data necessary to determine the fund balance. Since June 2010 statements have not been accurate;
September was off, December was a data dump and March reports are not yet available. She cannot
support an operating budget until good numbers are provided.
Councilmember Wilson explained to the public that they were seeing a very sincere effort on the part of
all Councilmembers to grapple with a very tricky problem. Although Councilmembers may approach it in
a different way, the level of sincerity and pure community interest was very impressive. Although he may
disagree with Councilmembers, they represent an important opinion and perspective. He was hopeful the
Council could find a way to bridge their differences and if a majority can support a levy, he was hopeful
there would be five votes rather than a 4-3 split. He urged the Council to keep an open mind in order to
find areas of agreement, including the size of the levy, when it goes on the ballot, etc. Five votes to place
the levy on the ballot will make a statement regarding the Council’s level of commitment to the
community, that the Council is working together. Within that context he suggested Council President
Peterson schedule citizen comment on April 26 as well as May 3. He also suggested holding a regular
Council meeting on May 10 and to shape the Council discussion to reach at least five votes.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented she has not made up her mind but appreciates the
conversation and viewpoints. She was concerned with the short five week timeline to make a decision
regarding a levy and was concerned the Council was trying to push too fast to put a levy on the August
ballot instead of November.
Student Representative Gibson asked if the levy could be placed on the November ballot if it failed in
August. Councilmember Wilson advised the deadline for the November ballot will have passed by the
August election. City Clerk Sandy Chase advised a placeholder could be sent to Snohomish County.
Mayor Cooper agreed other jurisdictions have submitted a placeholder to the County Auditor’s office in
the event a measure fails and withdrawn it if the measure passed. Ms. Chase recalled the City had done
that in the past on a different matter.
Councilmember Bernheim was certain that the Council doing its best to get a levy on the August 16 ballot
would help get it on the November 8 ballot. He viewed the November 8 ballot as the most realistic,
practical, legitimate and sincere and gives the Council the time to develop the necessary materials.
Council President Peterson advised he was more than happy to increase the frequency of discussion and
public comment. It was the consensus of the Council to schedule discussion regarding levy options and
public comment on the April 26 agenda. He requested at next week’s Council meeting, Councilmembers
voice the issues they need to have addressed such as financial reporting. He recognized financial reporting
was an issue and questioned how the Council could get beyond that. He agreed the timing was horrible;
the City has an interim Finance Director who will not be able to develop a new system and it may not be
in the City’s best interest to request that a new Finance Director immediately develop a new reporting
system. He asked the Council to consider whether they were willing to invest in upgraded software and/or
an outside agency to create the reports, estimating the cost at $50,000. If the Council continues to talk
about their frustration with the financial reporting, without an immediate answer to that question, it is
unlikely that progress regarding a levy can be made.
Councilmember Wilson referred to Councilmember Plunkett’s question whether the Flower Program
would be cut if it is included in the levy and the levy fails. He struggled with that concept with regard to
including funds for the ECA and senior center in a levy. If a levy failed, he would be not want to cut
funding to the senior center and the City is responsible for the ECA bonds regardless of whether a levy
Packet Page 14 of 117
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 19, 2011
Page 12
passes. He shared Councilmember Plunkett’s concern with wages and benefits, advising the Public
Safety/Human Resources Committee is working on medical self-insurance. He asked Councilmember
Plunkett if he could support a levy that only restored funding to things that had been cut such as streets,
the uniformed police officer that was cut in the 2011 budget, and the Crime Prevention Program that was
cut two years ago. Councilmember Plunkett commented his thoughts were not hard and fast between
capital and operating; he preferred 80-85% be for capital.
Councilmember Wilson asked whether Councilmember Plunkett considered funding for street overlays
capital when it was essentially operations. Councilmember Plunkett answered he considered it capital
because there is currently no funding mechanism. A levy could provide a capital funding mechanism.
Councilmember Wilson noted Mayor Cooper’s proposal was approximately $704,000 streets, $210,000
for Police and additional funds for reserves during the four year period. He asked whether
Councilmember Plunkett could support a levy if the Council fiddles with the numbers to make them
reflect his 80-85% towards streets. Councilmember Plunkett answered he did not have a hard and fast
rule. He was willing to fiddle to a certain extent as long a levy was predominantly for capital.
Councilmember Wilson agreed with Councilmember Buckshnis that the more specific the Council can be,
the more likely there will be support. He asked Councilmember Buckshnis whether a levy that focused on
streets and restoring a police officer and Crime Prevention would be focused enough for her to support it.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained her issue is asking voters to pay additional taxes. Edmonds is not
South LA, and she is uncertain whether the voters believe another police officer or a Crime Prevention
Program was necessary. She has heard complaints about streets and the Mayor’s proposal includes
$285,000/year for deferred maintenance for parks, a capital issue. Funding for the ECA also needs to be
addressed. She believed the voters would support parks, streets and maybe the arts.
Councilmember Buckshnis advised Darrol Haug and she plan to obtain Redmond reports and prepare
them for Edmonds in the interim in order to provide clear information to citizens. Councilmember Wilson
commended Councilmember Buckshnis, noting when she was satisfied with the numbers and reporting,
he would feel good about them. He asked Councilmember Buckshnis to try to find the place where good
enough is good enough and perfect is not the enemy of good. He suggested a levy with $900,000 for
streets and restoring Police Department cuts that are important to him and waiting two years to fund other
things. If that half measure was something the entire Council could support, maybe that is what the
Council should pursue.
Mayor Cooper explained the City likely did not need new software. Eden, the software the City uses,
dumps good raw data but Redmond and Mukilteo manually input that information into an Excel
spreadsheet. Mukilteo, although smaller than Edmonds, has a larger Finance Department staff and
Redmond has a much larger Finance Department staff. Part of the challenge in Edmonds is having enough
personnel to manually enter data to create reports. Eden does not have the capability of dumping data
directly into Excel. He is committed to making improvements within the City’s existing personnel
configuration and if that is not possible, he will inform the Council and the Council can decide to
purchase software that creates those reports or pay the additional $75,000-$100,000 for an additional FTE
in the Finance Department.
Student Representative Gibson recalled during Police Chief Compaan’s annual report he reported the City
was short a police officer.
Councilmember Petso encouraged Councilmembers to begin talking to people about what they are
interested in funding and not wait for the public hearing. She receives a much different reaction from
people about street overlays than she receives with regard to public safety or arts. At this point the City is
Packet Page 15 of 117
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 19, 2011
Page 13
in a position where any money generated by a levy will be of tremendous benefit. If that means dividing a
levy and placing separate line items on the levy to ensure one or more succeed, that may be worthwhile.
Councilmember Wilson advised he had been having some of those conversations. The most important
thing he has heard about the likely success or failure of a levy is the form and vigor of Council leadership.
The Council speaking with a unified voice and campaigning for a levy has tremendous impact, likely
more impact than anything else. Identifying a process to address reporting issues will go a long way
toward informing the public. Likewise it is tremendously impactful if the Council can say with one voice
that the City does not have an expense problem, though expenses are being reviewed, the City has a
revenue problem. He anticipated citizens would respond to the Council’s leadership. He wanted to hear
from voters but did not want to abdicate the Council’s leadership role.
Mayor Cooper explained the reason he proposed a $2.2 million levy was because it is roughly the amount
of sales tax the City lost since the recession started. Based on the forecasting model, whether the outdated
numbers or the new numbers, the City will fall below the one month reserve at the end of 2012. The
interim Finance Director advised him today the actuals will be within $100,000 of the projected yearend
2010 estimate. He was hopeful yearend actuals would be available the first week of May, approximately
when that information has historically been available regardless of who has been the Finance Director.
Staff will then prepare a forecasting model based on December 31, 2010 actuals, put in the 2011 budget
numbers and add decisions the Council has already made such as changing the City’s healthcare plan
January 1, 2012, and the change in the City Attorney contract as well as expenses such as labor costs and
the approximately $200,000 for ECA debt. That will also staff to illustrate the City’s exact financial
position. He was hopeful the forecast would be available by the May 3 meeting or the subsequent
meeting. He recognized the Council needed the information in order to make its decision.
Mayor Cooper noted the change in the City Attorney contract will not reflect a savings in 2011 but will in
2012. The ECA debt is not currently reflected in the City’s forecasting model. He anticipated the
projected labor costs are higher than actual labor costs will be. The benefit model may/may not be higher
depending on legislation relative to Labor and Industry costs and pension costs. He assured staff will
develop a forecasting model based on the best information available the first week of May that is as
current as possible based on actual, yearend numbers. All of the “back of the envelope” numbers suggest
the City will be below the one month reserve by the end of 2012 by some amount of money and a drastic
decline in reserves in 2013. He agreed with Councilmember Bernheim; the goal should be to complete the
levy by May 17 for the August ballot but if not, the Council would be in a good position to make an early
decision to put a levy on the November ballot and begin educating the public. He invited
Councilmembers to meet with him to discuss their ideas.
7. REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS OF APRIL 5 AND APRIL 12, 2011.
Public Safety/Human Resources Committee
Councilmember Buckshnis reported although the Committee had a lengthy agenda, they only discussed
medical self-insurance. Their discussion included several representatives from the City’s unions.
Councilmember Wilson provided a spreadsheet of benefits and costs and a timeline. The Committee will
continue its discussion regarding medical self-insurance at their May 10th meeting.
Community Services/Development Services Committee
Councilmember Plunkett reported staff provided the Committee the Quarterly Public Works Capital
Project Report. The following items were discussed by the Committee and approved on tonight’s consent
agenda:
• Authorization for the Mayor to Sign the Contract with the Edmonds-South Snohomish County
Historical Society for the 2011 Edmonds Market
Packet Page 16 of 117

• 2011 Senior Center Agreement
• Authorization for the Mayor to sign utility easements for the Lift Station 2 Improvement Project
Finance Committee
Councilmember Petso reported staff provided the Committee a report on the Fiber Optics Project which is
proceeding as expected. The Committee also had a discussion regarding park impact fees and learned that
a park impact fee is not as much of a deterrent to growth as some may believe. Staff will conduct further
research regarding park impact fees and other methods of generating funding for parks. The Monthly
General Fund Update and Update on Financial Policies and Reporting will be discussed at the May
Finance Committee meeting.
8. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Cooper thanked Wastewater Treatment Plant Manager Stephen Koho and Public Works Director
Phil Williams for hosting the delegation from Beijing, China. The eight members of the delegation
represented the Beijing Hydraulic Institute, a governmental agency responsible for streets, water and
sewer in a city of 20 million. The delegation is in the area for a month but came to Edmonds specifically
to see the unique type of incineration in the wastewater treatment plant, considered to be an advanced
method of treating solids.
Mayor Cooper reminded of the City’s annual Easter Egg Hunt at City Park on Saturday at 10:00 a.m.
9. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Plunkett encouraged Councilmembers to review the CTAC report, noting it is the best
report to date. CIO Carl Nelson has been taken “off the leash” to pursue the technical work and deserves a
great deal of credit for taking the initiative.
Councilmember Buckshnis thanked Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite for attending the Edmonds
Floretum Garden Club meeting and providing an update and timing on the Old Mill Town Park. The
Garden Club has raised $10,000 for Old Mill Town and Edmonds in Bloom donated $3,400. She relayed
the Garden Club’s interest in maintaining the park.
Council President Peterson announced that Friday is Earth Day and encouraged the public to celebrate by
doing something good for the planet.

I. EDMONDS CROSSING
Project Description
Edmonds Crossing is a regional project intended to provide a long-term solution to current
operational and safety conflicts between ferry, rail, automobile, bus, and pedestrian traffic in
downtown Edmonds and along State Route 104. The Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) (including Washington State Ferries [WSF]), and City of Edmonds
propose to relocate the existing state ferry terminal from Main Street, in downtown
Edmonds, to Pt. Edwards, south of the downtown core. In the process, a multimodal center
would be established that would integrate ferry, rail, and transit services into a single
complex. A realigned SR 104 from its current intersection with Pine Street would provide
access. The new complex would provide an upgraded ferry terminal designed to meet the
operational requirements for accommodating forecast ferry ridership demand; a new rail
station designed to meet intercity passenger (Amtrak) and commuter rail (Sounder) service;
a transit center that would meet local bus system and regional transit system loading
requirements; facilities that allow both vehicular commuters and walk-on passengers to
utilize various transportation modes; parking, drop-off areas, retail/ concessionaire space,
waiting areas; and a system linking these facilities to allow for the safe movement of users.
Significant Activities Since January 21, 2011
• January, February, March and April, 2011 – No significant activities.

II. SOUND TRANSIT (PHASE 1, AKA SOUND MOVE)
Project Description
During the past several years, Sound Transit has been implementing what is called the
Sound Move Plan. One element calls for commuter rail services, otherwise known as
Sounder. Commuter rail will eventually link Everett in the north with Seattle, Tacoma and
Lakewood in the South, a total of 82 miles through three counties. Sounder is being
implemented in three phases, one of which includes Everett to Seattle or the North
Commuter Rail corridor. Three commuter rail stations exist along this corridor, i.e., Everett,
Mukilteo and Edmonds.
Everett-Seattle Sounder, at full operation, now calls for 8 trains per day, i.e., four round
trips, and will include reverse trips. This is a reduction of two round trips from the originally
proposed operational plan. The first roundtrip train run began in December, 2003.
Edmonds Station is currently located between Main and Dayton Streets along both sides of
the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) tracks. The station area is also co-located with
Amtrak’s Edmonds Passenger Station. The Sounder commuter rail station, once completed
will include ADA accessible rail platforms, shelters, signage, lighting fixtures, hanging flower
baskets, ticket vending machines, on-site parking, and Community Transit bus station.
In an attempt to enhance Willow Creek and the Edmonds Marsh, a culvert is currently
installed near the Marina Beach property beneath both BNSF Railroad tracks, concurrent with
the construction of a second BNSF rail line. This will allow for the eventual daylighting of
Willow Creek, if and/or when funding is available.
Significant Activities since January 21, 2011
• March 28, 2011 – The parking lot north of the Amtrak Depot closed in order to begin
work on the northern half of the Sound Transit Edmonds Station.
• March 28, 2011 – The new parking lot south of the Amtrak Depot opened for commuters.
Access to the lot is from West Dayton Street. The temporary parking lot on Admiral Way
will remain open during construction.
For more information about the project, please link to
www.soundtransit.org/edmondsstation, or contact Roger Iwata, Community Outreach
Corridor Lead at 206-689-4904 or roger.iwata@soundtransit.org.

III. SOUND TRANSIT 2
Expanding the regional mass transit system
On Nov. 4, 2008, voters of the Central Puget Sound region approved a Sound Transit 2
ballot measure. The plan adds regional express bus and commuter rail service while building
36 additional miles of light rail to form a 55-mile regional system. For additional information,
visit http://soundtransit.org/.
Significant Activities since January 20, 2010
• February 15, 2011 – A Sound Transit North Corridor High Capacity Transit – Planning
Advisory Committee (PAC) and Interagency Technical Working Group (ITWG) meeting
took place to discuss potential northern alignments. Topics discussed included
alternatives analysis screening update, initial screening results, refined Level 1
alternatives, Level 1 screening results, potential Level 2 alternative refinements,
preliminary Level 2 station concepts, process and schedule update, and updates/news
from agencies.
• March 24, 2011 – Sound Transit consultant met with City staff, i.e., Public Works Director,
Planning Manager, City Engineer and Community Services/Economic Development
Director to discuss potential alignments, station concepts and land use issues within the
City of Edmonds.
IV. UNOCAL AKA CHEVRON SITE CLEANUP
Project Description
The UNOCAL property currently consists of a lower yard which currently contains petroleum
contamination resulting from more than 60 years of operation. Chevron, which acquired
UNOCAL, is now the entity responsible for cleaning up the site. Cleanup work at the lower
yard, which began in 2007, was a continuation of remediation work that has been ongoing
at the site since 2001. Chevron conducted the following work from summer 2007 through fall
2008 and has since been monitoring the site since.
• Excavated soil with metals contamination exceeding Washington State Department of
Ecology standards in order to protect against direct contact with the soil (such as
ingestion) and impacts to the groundwater.
• Excavated soil with petroleum contamination exceeding safe levels for direct contact.
Excavation of this soil was for protection of groundwater and surface water.
• Excavated contaminated sediment in Willow Creek, on the northern edge of the site.
The primary excavation work at the lower yard (including the Willow Creek area) was
completed in September 2008. Over 140,000 tons of contaminated soil and 9,000 gallons of
petroleum product have been removed from the site. The lower yard site has been re-
graded and reseeded. The Willow Creek area has been re-planted with native vegetation.
Packet Page 68 of 117
Significant Activities since January 21, 2011
• January, February, March and April 2011 – The following was provided to the City of
Edmonds by the Department of Ecology on April 19, 2011.
Significant progress has been made at the Unocal Edmonds site, but more remains to be
done. Excavation efforts have removed much of the contamination.
Ground water monitoring was conducted from October 2008 to October 2010 to assess
whether excavation has successfully removed the floating product from the site and
reduced petroleum concentrations in ground water to below cleanup levels.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. There is a floating product in one compliance well
that is generally only about a tenth of an inch thick, but has been as thick as an inch
and a half. In addition, several point of compliance wells have petroleum concentrations
above the cleanup level. The cleanup level is 506 μg/L for the eastern part of the site
and 706 μg/L for the western part of the site.
The Department of Ecology (DOE), Washington State Ferries, and the Edmonds Citizens
Awareness Committee are currently reviewing the ground water monitoring results and
will be meeting on May 25, 2011 to discuss. The next step in the process is to prepare a
feasibility study to assess how to remove the remaining contamination. Chevron is also
planning to conduct some tests to assess groundwater hydraulics of the site after all the
excavation and backfilling; a feasibility study work plan will then be prepared and
conducted.
In summary, very significant progress has been made, but work remains to be done.
The DOE does not have a schedule yet, beyond developing the feasibility study work
plan in the next few months. DOE would probably be hoping to do construction in the
2012 construction season, but 2013 may be more realistic given the length of time a
feasibility study may take to prepare.
V. EDMONDS PUBLIC FACILITIES DISTRICT
Overview
The City Council, pursuant to state law, approved the formation of the Public Facilities
District (PFD) at its April 24, 2001 meeting. A PFD is a separate municipal corporation that
has authority to undertake the design, construction, operation, promotion and financing of a
Regional Center in the city. The Public Facilities District board consists of five members
originally appointed by the City Council on June 19, 2001. Phase 1A renovation of the
original Edmonds High School Auditorium into a first class Edmonds Center for the Arts
(ECA) and multipurpose facility was completed in September of 2006.
Significant Activities Since January 21, 2011
• January, February, March and April, 2011 – Edmonds Center for the Arts 2010-2011
season continues. For information, see http://ec4arts.org/index.

VI. SNOHOMISH COUNTY PAINE FIELD
Overview
On July 14, 2004, a Mead & Hunt Inc. Business Travel Survey was issued which focused on
the market potential and options for Paine Field. On August 20, 2004, a Snohomish County
Citizen Cabinet issued an Economic Development Final Report -Blueprint for the Economic
Future of Snohomish County. Both reports put Paine Field in the regional spotlight as they
highlight the possibility of using Paine Field for commercial aircraft operations, thus changing
its general aviation status.
Although Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon and some County Council members
have said they do not support commercial air service at Paine Field, federal law obligates the
county to accommodate commercial service. Federal law does not allow the county to
prohibit or limit scheduled passenger air service. Instead, it requires that the county
negotiate with the airlines in good faith to accommodate their proposed service.
Horizon Airlines has indicated it wants to operate four times a day to Portland and twice per
day to Spokane, using 75-seat Bombardier Q400 turboprop airplanes on both routes.
Allegiant has said it plans to operate twice a week to Las Vegas, using 150-seat MD83 jet
aircraft.
Before airlines may begin commercial service, the FAA must amend the county’s operating
certificate for Paine Field as well as the airlines’ operating specifications. The county was
required to prepare an environmental assessment for FAA approval before those
amendments can occur.
Key points of the draft environmental assessment include:
1. Considering all current aircraft operations (take offs and landings) at Paine Field.
2. Traffic mitigation.
3. Emissions affecting air quality.
The draft environmental assessment is available for review at the airport office, on the Paine
Field Web site http://www.painefield.com/airserviceea.html, at
www.snoco.org/departments/airport and also in local public libraries.
Significant Activities Since January 21, 2011
• January, February, March and April 2011 – No new information at this time.
VII. RAILROAD QUIET ZONE
Overview
Packet Page 70 of 117
As discussed on a few occasions, there is an expressed desire of the City Council and Port of
Edmonds to establish a full or partial quite zone along the City's shoreline. A quiet zone is a
section of rail line that contains one or more consecutive public crossings at which
locomotive horns are not routinely sounded.
Significant Activities Since January 21, 2011
• January, February, March and April 2011 – No new information at this time.
VIII. CITY OF EDMONDS / COMCAST FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
Overview
With a record of successfully negotiating Verizon franchise agreements, several members of
the North Puget Sound Consortium formed a Consortium for the purposes of negotiating
franchise agreements with Comcast. Jurisdictions invited to participate include: Snohomish
County, the Cities of Bothell, Carnation, Edmonds, Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, Mercer
Island, Shoreline, Woodinville, and the Town of Woodway. Benefits of a coordinated effort
include: ensuring that the public receives the maximum rights and benefits from their
respective franchise agreements; better coordination of negotiations with Comcast; sharing
the costs of negotiations including hiring a national consultant and attorneys to assure the
citizens of each jurisdiction that their franchise is competitive, both locally and nationally;
and creating a common template and negotiation strategy through the assistance of a
national consultant and attorneys to maximize leverage during the negotiations.
Significant Activities Since January 21, 2011
• January, February, March and April 2011 – The North Puget Sound Consortium
agreement template was completed in 2010 and Ogden Murphy Wallace was reviewing
the agreement with their clients (includes the City of Edmonds). Up until the City
Council replaced Ogden Murphy Wallace (OMW) with Lighthouse Law Group, I had been
discussing with OMW whether the City will need to utilize River Oaks Communications to
help tailor the Comcast Franchise to meet the needs of Edmonds. A more narrowly
focused review by me and the City Attorney was to begin in January, 2011.
NOTE: As referenced in past correspondence, the Comcast Franchise expires on April
26, 2011. Although I was prepared to meet with OMW and Comcast as needed to
finalize renewal of the franchise, a change in legal counsel for the City altered the
timetable for completing the review in a timely manner.
Significant Activities Since January 21, 2011
• March 15, 2011 – At the request of Lighthouse Law Group, I forwarded the North Puget
Sound Consortium agreement template to Michael R. Bradley, Bradley & Guzzetta, LLC,
for review and comment. I also reiterated that the final template is ready for review
and as such, all parties should meet soon in order to get this in front of the City Council
in a timely manner.
• April 14, 2011 – Bradley & Guzzetta, LLC, forwarded a revised draft of the franchise
template to Comcast representatives and requested a meeting to discuss.
Packet Page 71 of 117
NOTE: It is possible to have the franchise agreement expire but still have a franchisee
operating within the City limits, while at the same time, a franchisee continues paying
revenue to the City while operating. Example: The City of Woodinville, Washington is
currently operating with an expired franchise agreement, but Comcast is still submitting
franchise fees.
Economic Development

• January, February, March and April 2011 – No new information at this time.
Economic Development Commission Overview
On June 2, 2009 – The City Council approved Ordinance 3735 which creates a new
Citizens Economic Development Commission (EDC) in order to determine new strategies
for economic development within the City and identify new sources of revenues. In
conjunction with the Planning Board, the new commission is to review and consider
strategies designed to improve commercial viability, tourism development, and activity.
The ED Commission consists of 17 members appointed by Mayor Gary Haakenson and the
City Council. The commission is staffed by the City’s Economic Development Director.
The Commission will make recommendations to the Mayor and City Council, as well as to
other City boards or commissions as appropriate, regarding economic development
strategies. The commission will provide an annual report to the Council in December of
every year. The commission is scheduled to end on December 31, 2010. Minutes from
monthly meetings (once approved by the Edmonds EDC) can be found at
http://www.ci.edmonds.wa.us/EconDevMinutes.stm.
As noted in past Quarterly reports, the Economic Development Commission agreed that
the six higher priority recommendations presented to the City Council in January, 2009
would fall within four categories called Strategic Planning and Visioning; Technology;
Land Use; and Tourism; A subgroup was formed for each category.

super-efficient energy system that generates significant local economic
development. New Energy Cities target communities not typically in the vanguard
of green innovation, but nonetheless primed for success and positioned to become
leading examples of what is possible. Important criteria for choosing pioneer
communities include:
o Major political leaders are involved and committed to bold leadership
o Clean energy jobs are a top economic development priority
o Key private sector leaders are eager to embrace the clean energy
economy
o Local utility companies are willing to engage and collaborate
o The community shows an appetite for clean energy leadership
o Local programs can accelerate the deployment of capital into the
community
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG)
Packet Page 76 of 117
In March of 2009, Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced plans to invest $3.2 billion
in energy efficiency and conservation projects in U.S. cities, counties, states,
territories, and Native American tribes. The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block
Grant (EECBG) program, funded by President Obama’s American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act, will provide formula grants for projects that reduce total energy use
and fossil fuel emissions, and improve energy efficiency nationwide. The City of
Edmonds received notification that it is eligible for a $160,200 block grant under the
EECBG program. The City has until June 25, 2009 to submit an application, i.e., "claim"
the grant amount, and 18 months to obligate and three years to expend the funds.
This is an entitlement grant for cities over 35,000 in population, rather than a
competitive grant. On September 22, 2009, the City was notified that the Department of
Energy has awarded an Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant to the City of
Edmonds. The award is the full amount referenced in the March 2009 eligibility
announcement ($160,200). The funds will be used for the following six different
projects. Announcement of the EECBG opportunity was shared with, and the attached
proposed project list was also reviewed by, the Mayor’s Climate Protection Committee.
Project 1 - PC Energy Management (federal funds)
Project 2 - Network Server Energy Upgrades – (federal funds)
Project 3 - Residential & Commercial Energy Meters (federal and local non-federal
funds)
Project 4 - Heating System Design and Feasibility Study (federal funds)
Project 5 - Purchase Hybrid Vehicles – (federal and local non-federal funds)
Project 6 - Low-Energy Lighting Retrofit – (federal funds)
Significant Activities Since January 21, 2011
• April, 2011 – As noted within earlier Community Services/Economic Development
Reports, it is possible that the City may consider the purchase of an electric police
scooter and/or other electric sedan(s) in lieu of one or more of the hybrid vehicles
identified in t Item 5 above as technology and availability improves. This is
dependent on availability and pricing within the required 3-year expenditure
window.
The City placed orders for two additional Toyota Prius’ bringing the total ordered
to four. To date, two have been received by the City and are being utilized by the
City staff.
NOTE: The City has been notified that it is eligible for a Nissan Leaf which would
be the City’s first all electric vehicle and charging station. The City’s Public Works
Department has placed orders for these vehicles.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe – Installation of Second Rail Line
As a part of the Sound Transit’s Sound Move, Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) will
be installing a second rail line alongside the existing rail line between the areas north of
Downtown Edmonds and south of Marina Beach Park.
Based on BNSF engineering plans and field stakes, there will be impacts to Admiral Way
and Marina Beach Park. As mentioned within 2010 Community Services and Economic
Development Quarterly Reports, the City secured the services of an engineering firm in
order to fully determine the impact and possibly design a new Admiral Way alignment
that will maintain access to Marina Beach Park, Port of Edmonds and existing parking
areas.
Regarding a timeline related to the installation of a BNSF second rail line, BNSF has
begun grading south of Dayton Street and the installation and relocation of the existing
and second rail lines respectively, could begin sometime in 2011 and 2012 or later. This
being said, I am trying to obtain a definitive date as to when installation of the second
rail line.
Significant Activities Since January 21, 2011
• October, November and December 2010 and January, 2011 – BNSF has been
installing culverts beneath the existing rail line and a future second rail line near
Marina Beach Park and off leash area. The culverts, financed by Sound Transit,
will allow for the eventual daylighting of Willow Creek.
Washington State Ferries (WSF) Mukilteo Multimodal Terminal Project
As mentioned within Community Services/Economic Development 2010 Quarterly
Reports, WSF and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) have been in the process of
evaluating concepts to replace or relocate the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal. The
environmental process for this project was re-initiated in February 2010 after being on
hold since 2007, due to funding and constructability issues associated with previously
identified alternatives. During this process, the project team evaluated ten concepts in
the screening process. These concepts, which are described within the document
Mukilteo Multimodal Project Concept Descriptions (WSF, September 2010), are listed
below and grouped geographically. NOTE: The concepts were posted on the home
page of the City’s website.
Existing Mukilteo Terminal
• No Build
• Existing Site Improvements
Elliot Point
• Elliot Point – Option 1
• Elliot Point – Option 2
• Elliot Point – Option 3
Packet Page 78 of 117
• Mount Baker Terminal
Edmonds
• Edmonds - Existing Terminal
• Edmonds – Existing Site Improvements
• Edmonds – Point Edwards
Everett
• Port of Everett South Terminal
Referenced within the October, 2010 Quarterly Report, I cited that Mayor Cooper and
City staff did not support the Existing Main Street Concept for reasons cited within a
May 26, 2010 e-mail (this was not an all inclusive list). A follow-up response was sent
to WSF on November 15, 2010 with a copy also sent to the City Council.
Significant Activities Since January 21, 2011
• January 21, 2011 – The City of Edmonds received correspondence from
Washington State Ferries stating that WSF received approximately 365 public
comments and letters from 20 agencies and jurisdictions during the scoping
comment period. The majority of comments support keeping the terminal in
Mukilteo; there was little support for moving the terminal to Edmonds or
Everett. After considering input received during the scoping process,
Washington State Ferries and its funding partner, the Federal Transit
Administration, decided that the following alternatives will be carried forward
and analyzed in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
• Mukilteo Elliot Point: Option 1
• Mukilteo Elliot Point: Option 2
• Mukilteo - Existing Site Improvements
• No Build
What's Next?
Over the next year, WSF will study the alternatives in greater depth and prepare
a Draft EIS. In fall 2011, we will distribute the Draft EIS for comment and hold
public hearings to provide the opportunity for the public to comment on the
alternatives under evaluation and the associated environmental impacts.

While this proposed action cannot rebuild of our workforce needs, do all major
projects, or catch up all of the deferred maintenance needs for our city facilities, it
does position us to be healthy over the next four years without further cutting
needed service. During that four year period we must focus together on a plan to
generate the needed long term revenue.
I look forward to working with you in the coming months to put a package before
the voters that has unanimous approval from the council.

Election Costs
Jurisdictions are responsible for sharing in the
cost of elections in which they have a race or
issue on the ballot (RCW 29A.04.410). The
cost sharing model includes a minimum $50 fee
as well as a portion of all costs associated with
the election. If there is only one jurisdiction on
the ballot, they will be responsible for the entire
cost of the election.
The cost of an election is calculated by the
been invoiced, received and paid. Election
and mailing costs (i.e. envelopes, postage,
and ballots); legal advertising costs; other
consumable supply costs; and elections
overhead.
The individual jurisdiction’s cost of an election is
based on the total number of jurisdictions with
a race or issue on the ballot and the number of
registered voters in each of those jurisdictions.
In most cases one can assume that the more
jurisdictions that appear in an election the more
cost to a jurisdiction will be.
Jurisdictions that have an account with the
Snohomish County Treasurer will have their
portion of election costs drawn automatically
election. A statement with the amount taken will
be sent to each jurisdiction.
Jurisdictions that do not have accounts with the
Snohomish County Treasurer will be sent an
invoice with a request for prompt payment.
Questions regarding election costs or the process
for calculating individual jurisdictions portions
should be directed to the Snohomish County
Elections Manager, Garth Fell at 425-388-3625.

ordinance was intended to move the building up to the property line if the back of the building faces the
right-of-way. He has requested the architect ensure windows would face Edmonds Way and a portion of
9th Avenue to ensure it had the appearance of the front of the building. A preliminary revised plan shows
the front of the bank facing Edmonds Way with a secondary entrance from the parking lot. Mr. Chave
referred to the footnote in the ordinance that refers to the design objectives regarding location, entry, etc.
Councilmember Wilson commented his 4-year old son often accompanies him to the bank. When he
pointed out that a bank may soon replace the gas station, his son cried, saying there are already so many
banks and he wanted the gas station to stay. This process should be educational to the Council with regard
to other properties such as the old Skippers site and the near waterfront; people can develop those sites
under the existing zone and the result may not be what the community envisions.
Mr. Clifton commented in the current banking industry, he does not assume a building will retain its
existing tenant and looks to future uses. With the building closer to the street, it could house a restaurant,
a retail store, etc. He advised the building would look nearly the same whether it was located in the center
or closer to the street other than the additional windows the architect included under the new scenario.

MOTION FAILED (2-4), COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETERSON AND COUNCILMEMBER
WILSON VOTING YES.
Mayor Cooper declared a brief recess.
9. DISCUSSION OF LEVY OPTIONS
Council President Peterson advised discussion of levy options is scheduled as a placeholder on the
Council agenda every other week. The deadline to place a levy on the August ballot is May 24. The
Council packet also contains the election deadlines and costs.
Mayor Cooper provided a PowerPoint regarding his levy proposal, advising the material in the
PowerPoint was largely the same as was provided in his memo to the Council. Mayor Cooper explained
the theme of his levy proposal was Safe Neighborhoods, Safe Streets and Parks for Everyone. He
explained if nothing is done, by the end of 2012, the City will be below the one month reserve the
Council adopted with the 2011 budget. He noted he rounded numbers so they would not necessarily
match the spreadsheets.
Mayor Cooper recognized the work done in 2009 by the Levy Committee chaired by Councilmember
Wilson and the work done in 2010-2011 by the Levy Committee chaired by Councilmembers Plunkett
and Buckshnis, particularly the work done by then Finance Director Lorenzo Hines and Citizen Levy
Committee Member Mr. Haug that was presented to the Council a few weeks ago. He applied his version
of political reality as far as what the voters might be willing to approve to what staff indicated the City
needed. As a result the amount he proposes be included in a levy is significantly less than the need.
Mayor Cooper reviewed his proposal for a 4-year levy on the August ballot:
• 35 cents/$1000 Assessed Value
• $2.25 million first year starting in 2012
• Increases 2.5% each year
• $2.314 million in 2013
• $2.372 million in 2014
• $2.431 million in 2015

He described the cost to the average Edmonds homeowner:
• Average residential value $375,000 in 2011 (down from $403,000 in 2010)
• $131.25/year in 2012
• $10.94/month in 2012
Mayor Cooper outlined his proposed spending plan:
• Safe Neighborhoods $210,000/year
o Restore and Redefine Crime Prevention Program
• 1 civilian crime analyst and .5 FTE support staff
• $129,000/year
o Restore one entry level Police Officer
• Not funded by Council in prior budget
• $81,000/year
• Safe Streets $704,000/year ($0.11)
o About 4 lane miles per year of overlays
o Less than half the projected annual need for overlays
• Parks for Everyone $102,000/year
o Yost Pool Operations $51,000
o Flower Program $51,000
• Remainder of levy funds:
o Maintains current level of Operations through 2015
o Finishes 2015 with the Council mandated one month reserve
Mayor Cooper reviewed the following summary:
Priority $ Proposed $ Needed
Police $210,000 $ 210,000
Streets $704,000 $1,500,000
Parks $102,000 $ 285,000
Deferred Maintenance on
City-owned Buildings
0
$ 250,000
Reserves/Operations (at
current level)s
$1,234,000
$1,234,000
ECA Bond Debt 0 $ 200,000
TOTAL $2,250,000 $3,679,000
per $1000 35 cents 57 cents
Mayor Cooper clarified if the economy does not improve, the City will need to talk to the public again
about long term financing at the end of 4 years. He advised 35 cents generates approximately $2 million
which is approximately the amount the City has lost due to the recession. How the Council prioritizes the
amounts is an important discussion for the Council; his proposed priority was a way to get the
conversation started. He explained the $285,000 in parks needs did not include any capital; it was only
deferred maintenance in the parks system such as resurfacing tennis courts, etc.
With regard to the August versus November ballot, Mayor Cooper advised there were a number of
reasons he preferred August but the primary reason is that knowing the outcome of the levy in August
will allow for better budget planning. He suggested the Council discuss their priorities.
Council President Peterson reiterated this is the first of many discussions regarding levy options.

COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING FOR 30 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Wilson thanked Mayor Cooper for his levy proposal, noting the former Mayor was good
at a number of things but he would not have brought a levy proposal to the Council. The Council has
shown they are interested in a levy but cannot quite get there on their own without some mayoral
leadership.
Councilmember Buckshnis expressed her appreciation for Mayor Cooper’s levy proposal. She observed
benefit costs were reduced and asked if that was due to the savings from AWC. Mayor Cooper advised
the $320,000 reduction due to insurance savings was reflected in the 2012 forecast. Councilmember
Buckshnis inquired about the $700,000 increase for transfers. Mayor Cooper proposed the ballot title
transfer the $700,000 from the General Fund and into the Street Fund for overlays.
Councilmember Buckshnis advised the Citizen Levy Committee will provide a recommendation. The
Committee did not realize Mayor Cooper planned to propose fast tracking a levy to an August election.
She expressed concern with the projections that utilized budget numbers. For example, she anticipated
there was more than $2.1 million in ending working capital balance. Mayor Cooper explained it was his
intent as soon as the Interim Finance Director completed the numbers, to have a new forecast with the
2010 actuals prepared. He agreed as the process moved forward in whatever configuration a levy takes,
the forecasts need to be based on yearend actuals for 2010and not yearend projections.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked the cost of a special election in August. Mayor Cooper clarified
August is not a special election; the primary election is in August. The cost depends on the number of
measures on the ballot. City Clerk Sandy Chase answered it is also based on population. She referred to
the guide for election costs in the Council packet, advising the cost for Edmonds 26,000 registered voters
would be close to $48,000 if there were only three other jurisdictions in the election. She anticipated there
would be more in the August election which would reduce the City’s cost.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked why Mayor Cooper prioritized 2.5 FTE for the Police Department
when Human Resources has indicated they need additional staff and she was certain the Economic
Development Department would like to have additional dedicated staff. Mayor Cooper acknowledged that
although additional staff was needed in Finance and Human Resources, he anticipated in today’s
economy where there is 10.3% unemployment in Snohomish County structuring a levy to add
administrative FTE was in critical danger of failing compared to asking voters to restore critical positions
in public safety. With prudent budgeting there may be an opportunity to add those FTEs during the
budget process if a levy passed. He clarified the items in his proposal were items he suggested funds be
dedicated to.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked for clarification regarding the proposal for 1 civilian crime analyst
and .5 FTE support staff. Mayor Cooper answered the Police Department recommends 1.5 FTE to operate
that critical program. He noted the Council could choose not to allocate funds to that program or include
it in the reserve/operations line and fund it in the budget. He included it because public safety is important
to the community, may help convince the voters to support a levy and is a needed service.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if the cost would be the same if the City put a smorgasbord of levy
issues on a ballot such as a general levy, a parks levy, a streets levy, etc. Mayor Cooper answered the
Council could put as many propositions as they wanted on the ballot; that was not his recommendation.
Ms. Chase advised last year the auditor indicated the cost would not increase if there were additional
ballot measures. Councilmember Buckshnis suggested the City could do five propositions such as ECA,
parks, Yost Pool, police, etc.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 5, 2011
Page 21
Councilmember Wilson cautioned against putting more than one proposition on the ballot at one time. In
his experience, the more questions there are on a ballot, the less likely any are to pass. To Councilmember
Fraley-Monillas’ point, the Council and community has made public safety their number one priority in
the Comprehensive Plan. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas clarified she was not questioning hiring a
police officer; her question was the civilian crime analyst and the .5 FTE support staff.
Mayor Cooper advised the crime analyst and the reconfiguration of the Crime Prevention Program is
important to the overall public safety mission of the Police Department. Regardless of how a levy is
packaged to the voters, slightly more than $1 million/year needs to be set aside to ensure a one month
reserve in four years. In reality, the City also needs to set aside $200,000/year for the ECA bond debt. He
advised the $100,000 the Council budgeted in 2011 for the ECA bond debt is not in the long term
forecast.
Council President Peterson commented he wanted to include funds in the levy for economic
development/investment in the arts to help stabilize that resource in order to realize a return on investment
in the future. Supporting institutions that are valuable as community assets as well as revenue generating
assets in the future will pay dividends in the future. Mayor Cooper invited Councilmembers to inform him
of items they would like to have included in levy scenarios.
Councilmember Petso requested Council President Peterson schedule one or more public hearings on levy
options in order to gather public feedback. She supported Councilmember Buckshnis’ proposal for
multiple levies to allow voters to support specific items. She supported placing multiple levies on the
ballot, noting any levy the voters passed would help. Some voters may welcome the opportunity to vote
on specific levies and it may provide an opportunity for people passionate about an issue to help pass that
specific levy. She invited the public to indicate whether they wanted an opportunity to vote on individual
levies or whether they preferred one levy.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas observed the ECA bond was a known debt. Mayor Cooper explained the
City paid the 2010 debt and there is $100,000 in the budget for 2011 but the debt is likely to be closer to
$200,000 in 2011. He included the ECA in his list of priorities because it is the City’s debt. Regardless of
whether the voters pass a levy, that bond debt will need to be considered in the 2012 budget. If the ECA
bond debt is not included in a levy it will be funded in some other manner via the City’s budget.
Councilmember Wilson reported he planned to make a proposal to the ECA this Friday that will suggest
the City fund the $200,000 over the 4-years prior in exchange for structural changes at the ECA that will
bring about greater transparency and a better structural alignment. He requested the Mayor develop a
scenario that includes the $200,000 for the ECA debt in addition to the other priorities and $60,000 for
the senior center. Mayor Cooper advised $64,000 is approximately 1 cent. Councilmember Wilson
advised the City already allocates $60,000 to the Senior Center and that could be deducted from the
proposed $704,000 for streets.
Mayor Cooper recognized the Council could package a levy however they wanted. There are some items
he feels strongly about such as police, streets and parks. Without funding for parks, streets and safety, the
mission of the City is not fulfilled.
Councilmember Wilson advised Councilmembers Buckshnis, Fraley-Monillas and he were joined by
approximately 20 people at a special Public Safety & Human Resources Committee meeting before
tonight’s Council meeting to discuss employee medical benefits. That discussion included recognition
that addressing medical benefits in a way that maintains existing benefits at a reduced cost would send an
important message to the voters.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 5, 2011
Page 22
Councilmember Plunkett preferred more funding for capital and maintenance and less for operating. The
City’s ongoing expenses are labor and medical costs. If the increase is not slowed, he would have
difficulty asking citizens to tax themselves for operating expenses. He was enthusiastic about
maintenance/capital. Mayor Cooper responded he intentionally did not include large capital projects in his
levy proposal because if the voters approved a levy and the City shows them they can be accountable, the
City is in a better position to ask for bond issues for large projects such as the swimming pool and other
major capital expenses. Councilmember Plunkett reiterated his enthusiasm for maintenance/capital but not
for operating when the City has not gotten its largest operating expense under control.
Mayor Cooper offered to meet with Councilmembers to talk about specific items or scenarios.
Council President Peterson advised the next discussion of levy options will be on the April 19 agenda.
Mayor Cooper advised he would endeavor to have the new forecasts prepared using yearend 2010
numbers.
Council President Peterson advised he will be scheduling a discussion item on the April 26 agenda
regarding the possible reallocation of REET funds. The legislature is also considering legislation that may
provide more flexibility in the use of REET funds.
10. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Cooper reported on April 15 Mr. Williams, Mr. Koho and he will host a tour and conversation
with a group of business and government leaders from Beijing, China. They will be in Seattle for a few
weeks and are coming to Edmonds specifically to see the processes used in the wastewater treatment
plant.
Mayor Cooper reported the Regional Fire Authority (RFA) Planning Committee held their first
organizational meeting last week where they adopted rules and established committee appointments.
Councilmember Wilson will serve on the Level of Service Committee, Councilmember Petso will serve
on the Finance Committee and he will serve on the Communications Committee. The Planning
Committee consists of seven cities and two Fire Districts, a total of nine jurisdictions, the largest group to
date in the State to put together a RFA.
Mayor Cooper advised he will send Council President Peterson a memo tomorrow with his appointments
to fill the Planning Board vacancies. He requested the Council interview them at the next available
meeting.
Mayor Cooper reported on a leak in the basement of the Anderson Center on Sunday as a result of a
broken water line under a sink. The Fire Department responded and City staff pumped out 6 inches of
water in parts of the basement. He thanked City staff for the time they took to ensure the Center could
continue to operate. There was not a great deal of damage other than water on carpets that can be dried
out. The water lines under the sinks have since been replaced.
Mayor Cooper advised the State House released their capital and operating budget. Edmonds did not fare
as badly as expected in the operating budget; 3.5% of the liquor tax profits were taken as well as 3.5%
from a number of other pass through accounts, most of which were criminal justice accounts from which
Edmonds does not receive a great deal of money. Rumor is the Senate will cut much deeper than the
House. The bad news is none of the City’s capital or transportation requests were included in the House
budget. Senators Shin and Chase are working hard to get funding for the Main Street project. Two or
three of the City’s Public Works Trust Fund projects have survived. Given the $5 billion that had to be
cut, Edmonds fared much better than other agencies.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

inappropriate to request a levy when the City’s financial condition is not clear. He requested Mayor
Cooper make a statement regarding the City’s financial condition.
6. DISCUSSION OF LEVY OPTIONS.
Council President Peterson explained as promised this is an opportunity to discuss levy options. Mayor
Cooper’s proposal is a starting point. Public comment on levy options is scheduled for the May 3
meeting. If the Council wishes to place a levy on the August ballot, the deadline is May 24; therefore a
decision must be made by the May 17 meeting.
Councilmember Buckshnis reported the Citizen Levy Committee is meeting on Thursday and will provide
their summary. The Committee has not yet provided a recommendation as they were unaware that a levy
would be proposed for the August ballot. She did not support an operating levy but would support a
specialized levy: $1.5 million/year 3-year levy for streets, $200,000/year 3-year levy for the Edmonds
Center for the Arts and $300,000/year 3-year for the Parks & Recreation Flower Program which totals $2
million or $0.35 cents/$1000 AV. She echoed Mr. Hertrich’s concern with the financials. She summarized
she would support what she feels is needed – streets, parks and the arts.
Councilmember Bernheim expressed his general support for a levy, stating he was open to all options. He
emphasized State law limits increases in the City’s property tax to 1% per year; property tax is the City’s
primary revenue source. Expenses exceed a 1% growth rate due to the growth of the City, additional
services the City needs to provide and because the cost of providing existing services increases every year
similar to citizens’ household budgets. He supported a levy concept although he needed documentation
regarding the severity of the problem and reliable budget data. The Council Finance Committee did not
have an opportunity to talk with the Finance Director at their last meeting due to his absence without
notice to the Committee. In addition, at one of the Finance Committee meetings, the monthly report was
not distributed prior to the meeting. As a member of the Finance Committee who is not a finance expert
and is responsible to the Council with regard to the City’s finances, he seeks guidance from the City’s
administration. Although he might mistrust, question or challenge the financial information, he would
have difficulty selling a levy to the people without financial information. He summarized the credibility
of the problem was the most important area to address prior to placing a levy on the ballot.
Councilmember Plunkett reiterated the comments he made at the last Council meeting. The City’s
operating budget will increase $5.5 million over the next five years, $4.7 million of that is labor costs. He
cannot support an operating levy until the escalating labor and medical benefits costs are addressed. He
could support a levy for capital and/or maintenance.
Council President Peterson expressed his support for Mayor Cooper’s proposal with possibly some
additions. With regard to a Councilmember not supporting a levy for operations and only capital, a
breakdown provided by Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite of the Flower Program costs illustrates
that most of the cost of that program is labor which is operations. His concern with separating operations
from capital was investment in capital requires people to make the capital work. For example, investing in
new police cars requires hiring officers to drive the cars. He noted that was his philosophical concern and
he understood the concern of not relying on a 3-year levy to fund a lot of new positions. The City is a
service industry, without people, none of the work gets done. He questioned the ability to separate labor
and benefits costs from capital.
With regard to the City’s finances, Council President Peterson echoed Councilmember Bernheim’s
comments regarding the 1% cap on property tax increases and expenditures increasing more than
1%/year. The Council has been discussing a levy for a number of years; admittedly he changed his mind
two years ago regarding placing a levy on the ballot. Two years ago the Council was in agreement that
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 19, 2011
Page 10
things were bad and they certainly have not gotten any better. While Councilmembers may bicker over
the financials, they can agree that the City needs a financial boost.
If the Council’s concern with obtaining reports is so great, he suggested investing funds from the Capital
Reserve Fund in the Finance Department to upgrade the system to get the reports Councilmember
Buckshnis has seen in other cities. He noted the City’s system is at least a generation behind.
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out the reports used by other cities are Excel spreadsheets. Council
President Peterson suggested the Council invest in a person to do the required data entry; that manpower
is not currently available in Finance. He agreed the money trail should be transparent and that goal will
require an upfront investment.
Councilmember Petso apologized to the three citizens who attended the last Finance Committee meeting
who expected a Finance Department representative to be at the meeting; she expected a representative to
be at the meeting. She has been assured that someone from finance will attend the May Finance
Committee meeting and questions can be asked about the monthly reports and begin review of the City’s
existing financial polices and if necessary adopt new financial policies.
Councilmember Petso relayed she has been told a permanent Finance Director will not be hired by May
and she will not have the new numbers. She has met three times with the Public Facilities District (PFD)
regarding their needs but did not expect the PFD to have a complete picture of their needs by May. She
was unsure whether those timing issues meant the levy could not be placed on the August ballot or if the
Council would place it on the ballot on the assumption that information would be available in time for the
August election. She summarized the timing is very rushed on at least two issues. Although Mayor
Cooper had hoped to provide updated financials tonight, the financial projections still show a beginning
fund balance of $2.8 million; she has reason to believe the City ended 2010 at $3 million. She would be
more excited about an operation levy if the numbers available at the time the Council makes their
decision reflect the best information available.
Mayor Cooper explained he made a policy decision in his role as Mayor not to have the interim Finance
Director attend the Finance Committee meeting. The monthly report was delivered on time to the Finance
Committee. The City pays an agency for a temporary Finance Director by the hour; he felt it was more
important to have the Finance Director working during regular business hours on the day-to-day
operations of the City rather than attend a Finance Committee meeting in the evening and take time off to
avoid overtime. He has requested the interim Finance Director attend the May meeting and provide the
quarterly report. The interim Finance Director is available to answer Council questions. For example,
Councilmember Buckshnis raised a question about the monthly report and an error was promptly
corrected. The Finance Department is already understaffed and because the interim Finance Director is
paid on an hourly basis, his time must be used in the most efficient manner possible. Rewriting the reports
will happen when a permanent Finance Director is hired.
Councilmember Plunkett complimented Mayor Cooper, explaining until he became the Mayor,
administration and Finance Director Lorenzo Hines ignored financial reporting and transparency. Early
last year the Council unanimously passed a request for financial reporting which the Finance Director
ignored. Mayor Cooper has expressed interest in addressing the Council’s request for financial reporting.
Councilmember Plunkett pointed out the Flower Program is operating and he preferred not to have that
program funded via a levy because if a levy failed it would mean the City would discontinue the Flower
Program. He did not want to include funding for either the Flower Program or public safety in a levy and
preferred to fund those programs via the operating budget. His support for a levy would not be based on
whether it funded the Flower Program.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 19, 2011
Page 11
Councilmember Buckshnis commented the Finance Director did not attend Finance Committee meetings
during the last quarter of 2010. She noted the data dump had occurred, it simply needed to be formatted
into a report where the numbers tie. The largest issue is the forecasting mechanism does not have all the
data necessary to determine the fund balance. Since June 2010 statements have not been accurate;
September was off, December was a data dump and March reports are not yet available. She cannot
support an operating budget until good numbers are provided.
Councilmember Wilson explained to the public that they were seeing a very sincere effort on the part of
all Councilmembers to grapple with a very tricky problem. Although Councilmembers may approach it in
a different way, the level of sincerity and pure community interest was very impressive. Although he may
disagree with Councilmembers, they represent an important opinion and perspective. He was hopeful the
Council could find a way to bridge their differences and if a majority can support a levy, he was hopeful
there would be five votes rather than a 4-3 split. He urged the Council to keep an open mind in order to
find areas of agreement, including the size of the levy, when it goes on the ballot, etc. Five votes to place
the levy on the ballot will make a statement regarding the Council’s level of commitment to the
community, that the Council is working together. Within that context he suggested Council President
Peterson schedule citizen comment on April 26 as well as May 3. He also suggested holding a regular
Council meeting on May 10 and to shape the Council discussion to reach at least five votes.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented she has not made up her mind but appreciates the
conversation and viewpoints. She was concerned with the short five week timeline to make a decision
regarding a levy and was concerned the Council was trying to push too fast to put a levy on the August
ballot instead of November.
Student Representative Gibson asked if the levy could be placed on the November ballot if it failed in
August. Councilmember Wilson advised the deadline for the November ballot will have passed by the
August election. City Clerk Sandy Chase advised a placeholder could be sent to Snohomish County.
Mayor Cooper agreed other jurisdictions have submitted a placeholder to the County Auditor’s office in
the event a measure fails and withdrawn it if the measure passed. Ms. Chase recalled the City had done
that in the past on a different matter.
Councilmember Bernheim was certain that the Council doing its best to get a levy on the August 16 ballot
would help get it on the November 8 ballot. He viewed the November 8 ballot as the most realistic,
practical, legitimate and sincere and gives the Council the time to develop the necessary materials.
Council President Peterson advised he was more than happy to increase the frequency of discussion and
public comment. It was the consensus of the Council to schedule discussion regarding levy options and
public comment on the April 26 agenda. He requested at next week’s Council meeting, Councilmembers
voice the issues they need to have addressed such as financial reporting. He recognized financial reporting
was an issue and questioned how the Council could get beyond that. He agreed the timing was horrible;
the City has an interim Finance Director who will not be able to develop a new system and it may not be
in the City’s best interest to request that a new Finance Director immediately develop a new reporting
system. He asked the Council to consider whether they were willing to invest in upgraded software and/or
an outside agency to create the reports, estimating the cost at $50,000. If the Council continues to talk
about their frustration with the financial reporting, without an immediate answer to that question, it is
unlikely that progress regarding a levy can be made.
Councilmember Wilson referred to Councilmember Plunkett’s question whether the Flower Program
would be cut if it is included in the levy and the levy fails. He struggled with that concept with regard to
including funds for the ECA and senior center in a levy. If a levy failed, he would be not want to cut
funding to the senior center and the City is responsible for the ECA bonds regardless of whether a levy
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 19, 2011
Page 12
passes. He shared Councilmember Plunkett’s concern with wages and benefits, advising the Public
Safety/Human Resources Committee is working on medical self-insurance. He asked Councilmember
Plunkett if he could support a levy that only restored funding to things that had been cut such as streets,
the uniformed police officer that was cut in the 2011 budget, and the Crime Prevention Program that was
cut two years ago. Councilmember Plunkett commented his thoughts were not hard and fast between
capital and operating; he preferred 80-85% be for capital.
Councilmember Wilson asked whether Councilmember Plunkett considered funding for street overlays
capital when it was essentially operations. Councilmember Plunkett answered he considered it capital
because there is currently no funding mechanism. A levy could provide a capital funding mechanism.
Councilmember Wilson noted Mayor Cooper’s proposal was approximately $704,000 streets, $210,000
for Police and additional funds for reserves during the four year period. He asked whether
Councilmember Plunkett could support a levy if the Council fiddles with the numbers to make them
reflect his 80-85% towards streets. Councilmember Plunkett answered he did not have a hard and fast
rule. He was willing to fiddle to a certain extent as long a levy was predominantly for capital.
Councilmember Wilson agreed with Councilmember Buckshnis that the more specific the Council can be,
the more likely there will be support. He asked Councilmember Buckshnis whether a levy that focused on
streets and restoring a police officer and Crime Prevention would be focused enough for her to support it.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained her issue is asking voters to pay additional taxes. Edmonds is not
South LA, and she is uncertain whether the voters believe another police officer or a Crime Prevention
Program was necessary. She has heard complaints about streets and the Mayor’s proposal includes
$285,000/year for deferred maintenance for parks, a capital issue. Funding for the ECA also needs to be
addressed. She believed the voters would support parks, streets and maybe the arts.
Councilmember Buckshnis advised Darrol Haug and she plan to obtain Redmond reports and prepare
them for Edmonds in the interim in order to provide clear information to citizens. Councilmember Wilson
commended Councilmember Buckshnis, noting when she was satisfied with the numbers and reporting,
he would feel good about them. He asked Councilmember Buckshnis to try to find the place where good
enough is good enough and perfect is not the enemy of good. He suggested a levy with $900,000 for
streets and restoring Police Department cuts that are important to him and waiting two years to fund other
things. If that half measure was something the entire Council could support, maybe that is what the
Council should pursue.
Mayor Cooper explained the City likely did not need new software. Eden, the software the City uses,
dumps good raw data but Redmond and Mukilteo manually input that information into an Excel
spreadsheet. Mukilteo, although smaller than Edmonds, has a larger Finance Department staff and
Redmond has a much larger Finance Department staff. Part of the challenge in Edmonds is having enough
personnel to manually enter data to create reports. Eden does not have the capability of dumping data
directly into Excel. He is committed to making improvements within the City’s existing personnel
configuration and if that is not possible, he will inform the Council and the Council can decide to
purchase software that creates those reports or pay the additional $75,000-$100,000 for an additional FTE
in the Finance Department.
Student Representative Gibson recalled during Police Chief Compaan’s annual report he reported the City
was short a police officer.
Councilmember Petso encouraged Councilmembers to begin talking to people about what they are
interested in funding and not wait for the public hearing. She receives a much different reaction from
people about street overlays than she receives with regard to public safety or arts. At this point the City is
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
April 19, 2011
Page 13
in a position where any money generated by a levy will be of tremendous benefit. If that means dividing a
levy and placing separate line items on the levy to ensure one or more succeed, that may be worthwhile.
Councilmember Wilson advised he had been having some of those conversations. The most important
thing he has heard about the likely success or failure of a levy is the form and vigor of Council leadership.
The Council speaking with a unified voice and campaigning for a levy has tremendous impact, likely
more impact than anything else. Identifying a process to address reporting issues will go a long way
toward informing the public. Likewise it is tremendously impactful if the Council can say with one voice
that the City does not have an expense problem, though expenses are being reviewed, the City has a
revenue problem. He anticipated citizens would respond to the Council’s leadership. He wanted to hear
from voters but did not want to abdicate the Council’s leadership role.
Mayor Cooper explained the reason he proposed a $2.2 million levy was because it is roughly the amount
of sales tax the City lost since the recession started. Based on the forecasting model, whether the outdated
numbers or the new numbers, the City will fall below the one month reserve at the end of 2012. The
interim Finance Director advised him today the actuals will be within $100,000 of the projected yearend
2010 estimate. He was hopeful yearend actuals would be available the first week of May, approximately
when that information has historically been available regardless of who has been the Finance Director.
Staff will then prepare a forecasting model based on December 31, 2010 actuals, put in the 2011 budget
numbers and add decisions the Council has already made such as changing the City’s healthcare plan
January 1, 2012, and the change in the City Attorney contract as well as expenses such as labor costs and
the approximately $200,000 for ECA debt. That will also staff to illustrate the City’s exact financial
position. He was hopeful the forecast would be available by the May 3 meeting or the subsequent
meeting. He recognized the Council needed the information in order to make its decision.
Mayor Cooper noted the change in the City Attorney contract will not reflect a savings in 2011 but will in
2012. The ECA debt is not currently reflected in the City’s forecasting model. He anticipated the
projected labor costs are higher than actual labor costs will be. The benefit model may/may not be higher
depending on legislation relative to Labor and Industry costs and pension costs. He assured staff will
develop a forecasting model based on the best information available the first week of May that is as
current as possible based on actual, yearend numbers. All of the “back of the envelope” numbers suggest
the City will be below the one month reserve by the end of 2012 by some amount of money and a drastic
decline in reserves in 2013. He agreed with Councilmember Bernheim; the goal should be to complete the
levy by May 17 for the August ballot but if not, the Council would be in a good position to make an early
decision to put a levy on the November ballot and begin educating the public. He invited
Councilmembers to meet with him to discuss their ideas.
