Councilmembers concurred. COUNCILMEMBER n U({ DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO DEFER APPROVAL OF THE JANUARY 19, 1993 COUN- CIL MINUTES TO FEBRUARY 2, 1993. MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED ORDINANCE ADOPTING COMMUTE TRIP REDUCTION AND TRIP REDUCTION PLAN (Item (C) on the Con- sent Agenda Councilmember Petruzzi objected to what he felt was an overburdensome document in order to adopt a commute trip reduction ordinance and plan. He felt it could be handled by use of a much less beaureaucratic document. Councilmember Petruzzi stated that he would vote for the ordinance and plan as proposed, but only because it is contingent on the city's ability to receive future block grant money. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO ADOPTED ORDINANCE #2913. MOTION CARRIED. AUDIENCE Mayor Hall said as this is a work meeting, the audience portion is generally not present. Mayor Hall said, however, due to an error, the audience portion was placed on the agenda, therefore, audience participation is welcome. Rob Sorenson, 338 3rd Avenue, had many questions concerning the complete power failure at the C�Treatment Plant and the subsequent nine million gallon spill during the recent wind storm. Mr. o Sorenson asked if the Plant had procedures to place into effect in the case where complete power Vfailure occurred. Bob Alberts, City Engineer, replied affirmatively. Mr Sorenson asked what C� action would be taken regarding residue on his lawn. Mr. Alberts said the City is currently work- ing with the Department of Ecology and the Health District to address these type of problems. Mr. Sorenson inquired on the capacity of the plant, and Mr. Alberts replied 40 million gallons. Mr. Sorenson feels the City should have a backup generator so this situation does not repeat itself. Rich Demarutis, 921 Pine Street, said it is his understanding that the outfall is continuing to be tested for pressure and it is repeatedly failing, thus leaking into the soil resulting in soil contamination. Mr. Demarutis said .the Treatment Plant was completed under budget and inquired on the balance of the funds. Mr. Demarutis said a backup generator should be purchased for the Plant. Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, said a recent article in the Herald entitled "Edmonds to Vote j on Ferry Site" was very misleading and citizens might get the wrong idea, as it is his belief the lin, Council is currently only in a discussion mode. Mayor Hall replied affirmatively. Mr. Hertrich said some of the figures that were contained in the article are incorrect and may be distorting lower, more accurate figures. Mr. Hertrich said it is his hope that the City would begin to talk about a highway bypass, and said he as has attended recent waterfront study public meetings, where he mentioned to the economist that he should look at other cities who have built a bypass. Mr. Hertrich said the waterfront study still does not contain any reference to the safety issue at the present ferry site and feels that is extremely important. Mr. Hertrich said he -is not satisfied with the work the consultant has done so far regarding issues such as economics, safety issues. etc. Jack Bevan, 19210 94th West, said he is here on behalf of Mylo Charleston, who owns property di- rectly south of the Edmonds Treatment Plant. Mr. Bevan said Mr. Charleston disagrees with many hJl actions Staff has taken, regarding this issue and Mr. Bevan distributed a letter to the City Clerk, which Mr. Bevan read into the record. City Clerk Rhonda March marked the letter Exhibit 1. Mr. Bevan distributed to the Mayor and Council," a D.E.I.S. for a Fill and Grading Permit at U� Alder Street and Second Avenue S. in which Mr. Charleston was asked to obtain from the City. Mr. Bevan stated a list of facts that happened after the D.E.I.S. was presented to the Planning De- partment. Mr. Bevan asked the Council to be the judge and review the materials themselves. Mayor Hall said she and Staff would review the matter and report back to Mr. Bevan. Ben Cain, 428 12th Avenue N., Edmonds Port Commissioner, said he is the Port Liaison to the City U� Council. Mr. Cain said he met with Councilmember Petruzzi recently, who is the Council liaison to Y i the Port and is looking forward to working with him in the future. Mr. Cain said Councilmember 0 r Q1^ Dwyer and Port Commissioner Don Stay did much of the groundwork in establishing a positive rela- (V\ tionship between the City and the Port. Bob Alberts, City Engineer, said he welcomes any member of the public to the Treatment Plant to review the emergency procedures as well as provide information on the Plant and tour the Plant. Mr. Alberts said the provision for a total plant failure is that wastewater would overflow into the storm drain system. Mr. Alberts said because the Plant has to pump 24 hours a day, this is the only option, as otherwise the Treatment Plant would be at risk. Regarding the issue of fail- ure of the outfall pipeline, Mr. Alberts said there is a small leak, and a company will be coming this Fall to fix the problem. Mr. Alberts affirmed the fact that the Treatment Plant did come under budget and said the balance of the funds were returned to the public. Mr. Alberts gave a history of the power situation at the plant. Mr. Alberts said in 1988, the consultant reviewed different alternatives for power to the treatment plant; 1) a main source of power along with a generator, or 2) two separate power sources. Mr. Alberts said in both these scenarios, if there was a total power failure, the overflow would go into the storm drainage system. Mr. Alberts said data in 1988 stated a single power source with a generator (option 1) anticipated a total number of hours down to 127 hours over a 15 year period, where in option 2, it anticipated a total num- ber of hours down .to 2 hours over a 8 to 9 year period. Mr. Alberts said another reason why a generator wasn't suggested is because of cost, the space it would need at the Treatment Plant and the noise it would create. Councilmember Palmer inquired on costs estimates for a generator. Mr. Alberts said a generator could either be purchased or on a lease standby, whereby the generator would be brought in on trailers when an emergency arises. Mr. Alberts said it would cost approximately $4,000 a week to lease a generator which would be able to power the entire Treatment Plant. Mr. Alberts said this' may not be the best choice as when an emergency arises such as this, there is very little time until the overflow exits through the storm drainage system. Mr. Alberts said to purchase a genera- tor to power the entire Sewer Treatment Plant is estimated to be approximately $500,000.00. Mr. Alberts said the City's crews did an excellent job in handling the emergency and carrying out the procedures listed in the Emergency Procedure book. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 2 January 26, 1993 John Poppe, Treatment Plant Supervisor, said he also feels the staff did an excellent job in carrying out the emergency procedures. Councilmember Palmer thanked Mayor Hall for her rapid notification to Councilmembers of the Treat- ment Plant emergency. Councilmember Palmer asked if if the Mayor will have recommendations forth- coming after the situation has been fully assessed, and Mayor Hall replied affirmatively. Sid Locke, 110 Pine Street, said he is a long term utility worker who has built five or six sew- age treatment plants. Mr. Locke said he has never built a plant that did not have a backup genera- tor. Mr. Locke said the City needs to acquire a backup generator as he feels the City has a terri- ble liability. Dave Crow, 348 Sunset Ave, asked if the procedure is always going to state the the overflow will exit the storm drainage system to the wetlands, and Mr. Alberts replied affirmatively. Mr. Crow said he has never heard of a plant being built without a generator. Robert Sorenson, 338 3rd Ave. S., said Mr. Alberts stated that in 1988, the decision was made to have the overflow, in an emergency, dump into the wetlands. Mr. Sorenson questioned this as he said in 1988, the wetland was considered private property. Mr. Sorenson said the wetland was not dedicated as such until 1992. Mr. Alberts said it is his understanding that it was considered a wetland in 1988. Mayor Hall thanked the citizens for their participation, and thanked the City crew for their work. Mayor Hall urged citizens to lobby PUD and legislatures to underground the wires, which would lessen the danger during a storm such as this. Mayor Hall asked citizens to take precau- tions against future windstorms. EXECUTIVE SESSION ��`� i The Mayor and Council recessed to an Executive Session at 8:00 p.m. to discuss labor negotiations and reconvened in Council Chambers at 8:14 p.m. REVIEW CRITERIA FOR PARTICIPATION IN AND FUNDING SOURCE FOR PROPOSED SNOHOMISH COUNTY INTERLOCAL COMPREHENSIVE.YOUTH GANGS PROGRAM John Turner, Police Chief for the City of Mountlake Terrace, and Chair of the Youth Gangs Task Force, presented background information on the Interlocal Comprehensive Youth Gangs Program pro- posed by Snohomish County to City Council on January 5. Council requested this item be brought back for further discussion on participation in and funding of this Interlocal agreement. Snohomish cities are being asked to participate on a per capita basis, at an estimated 40.5 cents per resident. The County is contributing $105,000 as its share of the program. Councilmember Dwyer said at the end of the January 5 discussion on this issue, he suggested be- fore the Council discussed merits of the proposal, the Council discuss where the money would come from and what source it would qualify. Councilmember Dwyer said the Mayor and Council were aware of the proposal during the budgetary process for 1993, however, was not included in any varia- tions of the Mayor's proposed budget and was not included in the final budget. Councilmember Dwyer asked under what guise would the City be justified in spending from a particular fund for this proposal and not funding various items that were cut out of the budget. Councilmember Dwyer said he doesn't feel the City has alot of money, if any, under which this proposal qualifies. Councilmember Petruzzi agreed with Councilmember Dwyer. Councilmember Petruzzi said although he feels it is a worthy proposal, he referenced the difficult budgetary process the City recently went through whereby many items were cut such as salaries for volunteer firefighters. Councilmem- ber Petruzzi said .he has spoken with a few citizens about this proposal and said the citizens have voiced their concern that the proposal may be a:duplication of efforts. Councilmember Petruzzi said he is not an expert in the field, however, simply brings up the comments of citi- zens. Councilmember Earling agreed with Councilmember Petruzzi and Councilmember Dwyer and said he has heard the same kind of comments from citizens he has talked with. Council President Earling said he does not feel comfortable under the current budgetary circumstances to come forward with the amount of money the proposal is requesting. Councilmember Earling said it helps him feel more at ease knowing that our community has a very pro -active police department. Council President Farl- ing said he would be willing to consider this proposal at a future point in time. Councilmember Nordquist said he has read the proposal and has not heard anything from the Edmonds Police Department regarding the proposal, other than what Chief Prinz said at the last Council Meeting. Councilmember Nordquist said when the City went through the budgeting process, there were several budgeting errors corrected in various departments, which resulted in money having to EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 3 January 26, 1993 be transferred. Councilmember Nordquist agrees it was a tight budgetary process, however, said he feels there were some gross budgeting errors which made matters worse that perhaps they would have been if the budgeting errors would not have taken place. Councilmember Nordquist said this proposal involves young people in Snohomish County, and he hopes that if the Council does not approve it tonight, that it receives another chance for consideration at another point in the year. Councilmember Hall agreed with Councilmember Nordquist and supported the proposal. Councilmember Hall feels the Council needs to be somewhat flexible, and said some sort of plan needs to be put into place where unforeseen items can be built into future budgets so they can receive considera- tion. Mayor Hall said as an interim measure, she would like to explore some kind of in -kind contribu- tion. As Mayor Hall asked John Turner, Police Chief for the City of Mountlake Terrace, to speak, COUN- CILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO ALLOW CHIEF TURNER A FEW MINUTES TO ADDRESS THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Turner said he appreciates the comments and concerns made by the Council. Chief Turner said the Youth Gangs Program will appreciate any in -kind contribution made in the future. Chief Turner said if the City decides at any time in the future to be party to the proposal, it would be wel- come. Chief Turner recognized the City of Edmonds for being the first city in Snohomish County, and one of the first cities in the State of Washington to take a pro -active stance with drug abuse in the formation of the DARE program. CONTINUED REVIEW OF DRAFT COUNTY WIDE POLICIES (CONT'D FROM JANUARY 5, 1993). Rob Chave, Planning Manager, reviewed the draft countywide policies with the Mayor and Council. Mr.. Chave said the policies have been accepted by the Snohomish County Tomorrow Steering Commit- tee for distribution to the cities for their review and comment. Mr. Chave said the each city has an opportunity to review and comment on the policies, with the County Council to hold a public e 5 hearing on February 4, 1993. The County, under the Growth Management Act, has the ability to jUt adopt the policies, taking into consideration any comments receives from the cities. The Planning Board discussed the policies at its January 13th meeting, with the following general conclu- sions: 1) The general intent of the policies (as expressed in the introduction) should take precedence if conflict arise from the specific language contained in the policies, 2) The poli- cies mix true policy guidance with measures to implement the policies; i.e. the policies contain implementation detail which does not belong in a policy document; 3) A concern is how consistency between local plans and countywide policies would be determined i.e. where the burden of proof would lie). Mr. Chave referenced a memorandum to the Mayor and City Council dated January 25, 1993. Mr. Chave reviewed this with the Mayor and Council which contained his preliminary thoughts and con- cerns regarding the Countywide Planning Policies. Councilmember Petruzzi said although it states that the Snohomish County Tomorrow Steering Commit- tee has approved the policy for distribution, he expressed concerns of the minutes from the Decem- ber 9, 1992 meeting of the Steering Committee, whereby he got the impression that the Steering Committee feels the policy is a done deal. Councilmembers discussed the policy and recommended changes and/or deletions to certain parts of the document. In general, Councilmembers found many inconsistencies through the policy, and felt that much of the control was going to the County, instead of the cities. Councilmember Petruzzi said the Growth Management Act was supposed to allow much of the policy to be formulated at a city level, however, Councilmembers pointed out that it is instead starting at the County level, and working itself 'down with the County making many policy decisions for the cities. At 8:55 p.m., Student Representative Rachelle Eshleman left the Council Meeting. Councilmember Hall said it seems to him that the draft Countywide Policies is basically setting up adversarial parties between the County and the various cities right from the beginning. Coun- cilmember Hall said he is concerned that the City of Edmonds, by participating in, and commenting on the policies, might be putting itself at risk for items that he City might miss in the docu- ment or acquiesce in. Mr. Chave said he believes the City is correct in voicing their concerns/objections to the draft policy, even though he believes it will be met with limited success. Councilmembers thanked Mr. Chave for his excellent work on commenting on the draft policy. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 4 January 26, 1993 VI-1 COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON DOWNTOWN/WATERFRONT PLAN (CONT'D FROM JANUARY 5, 1993) Councilmember Petruzzi referenced a Port of Edmonds Position paper he distributed to the Mayor U� and Council regarding the potential acquisition and use of UnoCal site. Councilmember Petruzzi said the Port took this action and approved the position paper at its January 25, 1993 Port Meeting, whereby the Port took a position which is consistent with the position the City has taken with regards to the UnoCal site. In the position paper, it states the Port is prepared to assist other agencies in the planning for the potential development at UnoCal site. Councilmember Petruzzi said the Port believes the UnoCal site can be devel-oped for both community economic enhancements and public services. Due to the late hour, Councilmember Palmer suggested a slight change to the Agenda. As there was a consensus to vote on Item 6: AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CON- TRACT WITH MERRITT + PARDINI TO PROVIDE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY, COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, MOVED TO APPROVE ITEM 6. MOTION CARRIED. (As Councilmember Dwyer left the Council Chambers momentarily, he was not present for the vote on this item). Continuation of Discussion on Downtown/Waterfront Plan Mayor Hall noted a recent newspaper article in the Herald which contained a misleading headline and accompanying information. Mayor Hall said the Council is simply discussing the. down- town/waterfront plan, and is not "voting" on a ferry site. Rob Chave, Planning Manager, said the purpose of this discussion is to review the materials and discuss the City's position on the ferry location. MAKERS needs clear direction on what options to focus on during the second phase of the study, which will deal with specific urban design recommendations. Mr. Chave said at this point in time, the assumption is that the Council's prior commitment to the UnoCal site as the future ferry terminal location will form the basis of the continued urban design work. Mr. Chave said to keep in mind that the draft of the down- town/waterfront plan is simply a draft. Councilmember Palmer said the report needs to have more emphasis placed on the safety factor and how that has to be dealt with in any scenario. Councilmember Palmer said he would also like to see a longer time frame applied to the report, as he feels looking into 2010 is not far enough into the future, especially when you look at costs being amortized out for a much longer period. Councilmember Palmer said the report does not emphasize the lease option of the UnoCal property, as well as the air rights option. Councilmember Palmer said there is virtually no reason to even look at a purchase price figure for the UnoCal site. Councilmember Petruzzi feels the economic report has a tremendous amount of inaccurate material in it. Councilmember Petruzzi said even though Apogee Research has made some headway in including the Council's requests and concerns, it still is missing a lot of vital economic information. Councilmember Petruzzi said the economic report states there is a potential for a very large amount of money to be expended in cleaning up the UnoCal site, even though UnoCal has repeatedly stated they would be responsible for all cleanup costs to the site. Councilmember Palmer said there are documents on file with the City from the owners of the UnoCal site property that state emphatically that the site will be cleaned up by UnoCal before anything is disposed of. Mr. Chave said it seems that the economic analysis contains information that assumes that the. reader has knowledge that they may not have. Councilmember Petruzzi agreed. Councilmember Petruzzi said the consultant has not spent much time saying how much of an economic benefit the development of the UnoCal site would mean to the city. Councilmember Hall said he is the sole Councilmember who voted against moving the ferry dock. Councilmember Hall feels an economic analysis is very difficult to do, and feels most of the impacts will be aesthetic impacts. As a procedural matter, COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO EXTEND THE MEETING TO 10:30 p.m. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Earling said he is concerned that the the waterfront study has put too much empha- sis on ferry dock location, and views this as a waterfront study, with an opportunity to discuss and plan the city's waterfront. Councilmember Nordquist said he is disappointed that the study relates to the City losing busi- EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 5 January 26, 1993 ness if the ferry was moved, and said the report does not include information as to how many of those businesses relocate to other parts of Edmonds. Councilmember Nordquist feels there is a great deal of potential for the waterfront, and feels the report places too much emphasis on the negatives. Regarding the economic analysis, Councilmember Petruzzi said he has lost confidence in the consul- tant's ability to perform the economics. Councilmember Petruzzi said he has no problems with the company who is performing the waterfront study. Paul Mar, Community Services Director, said when the project is complete, there will be a final report, and the Staff will carry out the Council's orders to sit down with the consultant to make sure the report portrays at least a consistency between data that is in the report and the narra- tive at the front end of the report. Councilmember Palmer said he would like to see the process continue and said he does not want the waterfront plan released until it is in final form. Mr. Mar concurred. MAYOR Mayor Hall said Police Chief Prinz would like to address the Council. Police Chief Dan Prinz said during the power outage,'a motor burned out in a 20-year old refriger- CY� ator in the police department. Chief Prinz said he has requested replacement of this item in Y�-previous budgets, however it has always been cut. Chief Prinz said it is not repairable, and � asked the Council to transfer funds from the Council Contingency fund to cover the purchase. -peCOUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED., SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER EARLING, TO ALLOCATE UP TO $600 FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND SO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT MAY PURCHASE A REFRIGERATOR. MOTION CARRIED yUC`1 with Councilmember Nordquist voting no. ,,,fit Mayor Hall noted a liquor license application from North China Restaurant, in which Assistant Cy r ✓1 4. Chief Tribuzio recommends approval. No objections were noted by Councilmembers. IC Mayor Hall referenced Draft Municipal Court Bill SB 5117 currently before the Washington Sate Legislature. Mayor Hall said this bill would basically eliminate the cities' ability to create their own municipal court. Additionally, municipal court judges would be required to be elected, not appointed. Mayor Hall said Jim Justin of the Association of Washington Cities discussed this Bill at the Snohomish County Mayor's meeting last week and emphasized that city officials must be very vocal and contact.their legislators directly in order to defeat this bill. Mayor Hall asked Councilmember Dwyer's thoughts on the subject. Councilmember Dwyer said he has already written to, and talked with Representative Paul Shinn who 1 was trying to put together a coalition in the House to put this to an end. Councilmember Dwyer nd` updated the Mayor and Council on other activities relating to the this issue. 0(f 11����0 COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT TO JOINTLY PREPARE, SIGN, AND SEND A LETTER TO EACH OF THE LEGISLATORS VOICING THE CCITY'S OPPOSITION TO THE BILL. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL ynC�� COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO EXCUSE THE ABSENCE OF C 0 S� �04' COUNCILMEMBER HALL AT THE JANUARY 12, 1993 COUNCIL MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. C1_ Council President Earling said Art Housler had offered to give the Council a economic outlook for 1993, and said he will be contacting Art so that he may give that presentation as soon as possi- ble. �l Council President Earling said the Edmonds Community College Board Room has been reserved on C Saturday, March 13, so the Councilmembers may have a retreat. He asked the Council to contact him 011 as soon as possible concerning possible agenda topics. Councilmember Dwyer complimented Planning Manager Rob Chave on the job he has done, and said it confirms the wisdom of the reorganization a few years ago when the City created a long range planning position as well as a current planning position. Councilmember Dwyer said Mr. Chave has done a good job on a number of projects. Q' Councilmember Dwyer said the Council needs to re -visit the issue of the Taste of Edmonds, and i perhaps get an update from the Chamber on any plans so far.
