AUTHORIZATION TO CALL FOR BIDS TO PURCHASE LARGE --STYLE SENSUS WATER METERS ($8,672.23) Item (I) on tFe Consent Agenda Councilmember Petruzzi noted the specific expenditure requirement and asked how it could be that specific if bids haven't been received yet. Councilmember Petruzzi asked if the Mayor questione< the expenditure since she did not sign off on the Agenda Memo. Public. Works Superintendent Noel Miller said the amount listed was obtained by calling around for quotes. It was noted by Mayor Hall that she has no problem with this item, and did not sign off on it as she was probably un- available when the Agenda packet came through the City Clerk's office. COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO APPROVE ITEM (I) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. Under discussion, Councilmember Palmer suggested future Agenda Cover Memos include a staff esti- mate, as well as the amount budgeted so the two can be compared after the bids are received. a - Councilmember Nordquist said the specific amount listed as a required expenditure should not be listed on the Agenda Memo, as the information could be obtained by potential bidders, who will then know what to potentially bid, thereby affecting the bidding process. Mr. Miller said this was an oversight and the amount listed as an expenditure required should not have been listed. MOTION CARRIED.

W Councilmember Palmer asked if the Toddle Time Daycare was one of the previous bidders and Ms. Ohlde replied negatively. Councilmember Palmer asked if the City is obligated to go through the bidding process to make sure it is a fair and equitable process Ms. Ohlde said the Toddle Time Daycare was chosen after reviewing and making sure they met all the criteria as was used in the bidding process to begin with. Ms. Ohlde said she has worked on this with the City Attorney and everything is legal, and the City does not have to go through another bidding process because it is a professional contract. Ms. Ohlde said this process is especially important now, as to not disrupt the much needed childcare. COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO APPROVE ITEM (K) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED.

COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING, FOR APPROVAL TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR PLANNING BOARD AGENDA PUBLISHING FOR REMAINDER OF 1993. Under discussion, Councilmember Palmer said he would like to discuss the funding source for this item after Item 7 which is the Report on the City's financial position for period ending March 31, 1993. Councilmember Palmer said he is very much in favor of publishing the agendas, but does not necessarily agree that the funding source should come from the Council Contingency Fund. Councilmember Earling withdrew his second, and the maker of the motion subsequently withdrew his motion. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO APPROVE THIS ITEM, SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF FUNDING SOURCE FOLLOWING ITEM 7 WHICH IS THE REPORT ON THE CITY'S FINAN- CIAL POSITION. MOTION CARRIED. i PRESENTATION OF RESOLUTION OF COMMENDATION TO LEE WILLEIKSEN, RETIRING WATER MAINTENANCE WORKER II R 5D1�tt` Mayor Hall congratulated and commended Mr. Willeiksen on his distinguished 25 years of service to the City of Edmonds. Mayor Hall read Resolution No. 769 into the record, which stated, in part that Mr. Willeiksen was instrumental in helping the City standardize its water meters and in set- ting up the meter testing and repair program which ha provided the City with long term cost sav- ings. The Mayor and Council extended their best wishes to Mr. Willeiksen for success and happi- ness in his retirement. Mr. Willeiksen thanked the Mayor, Council, and the City of Edmonds. Mr. Willeiksen said he has a great feeling of accomplishment as he has served the City well, and said he has saved the taxpay- ers of Edmonds money. Mr. Williamson introduced his wife, daughter and grandson. ANNUAL REPORT FROM SISTER CITY COMMISSION Stan Dickison, 121 5th 'Avenue, Chair of the Sister City Commission, presented the 1992 Annual AV- Report and the goals for 1993. The Annual Report included information including fund raising efforts, operating expenses and student home stays. Mr. Dickison said the Sister City Commission derived its funds to support their activities from membership dues, private donations, and fund S �5 raising events as well as city funds for use on public functions. Mr. Dickison said the past year saw the celebration of the Sister City's 5th anniversary. Mr. Dickison said Stevens Hospital is now involved in an exchange of Doctors with Hekinan, whereby .there is a Doctor exchange of 2-3 per year. Mr. Dickison introduced Don Carr, Vice Chair, and Valerie Dickison, Secretary of the Commission. Councilmember Petruzzi complemented Mr. Dickison on the fine works the Sister City Commission has been able to achieve. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 2 April 27, 1993 Council President Earling told Mr. Dickison that he would like a visiting physician from Hekinan address the City as he thought it would be interesting to hear what the doctors experience when practicing medicine in this Country. Mr. Dickison concurred and said that could be worked out. The Mayor and Council thanked Mr. Dickison and the Sister City Commission for their presentation. CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF TRANSIT AND RAIL USE BY CAROLYN FEISS OF SNO-TRAN AND PAUL _BAY, VICE �U SI PRESIDENT OF BRW,�ONSULTAN 0 PRO- L R�A►VSI� PROJE T continued from Marc 16, 1993 Ms. Feiss introduced Paul Bay, Vice President of BRW, who is a Land Use Consultant for the Region- L. al Transit Project. Mr. Bay outlined four steps he believes are the major points and issues that should be addressed: 1) PROCESS:Interactive relationship between the local government and Transit Agency; 2)DECIDE ON THE CORRIDOR; Make a decision on the corridor; look at where the stations would be, w aTi F-5e access would be like and define what the stations would look like for each corridor; 3) DECIDE ON STATION LOCATION; so you put them in best place, and; 4) DECIDE WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE RELATION- SHIP OF THOSE STATION SITES IN THAT CORRIDOR, to what the City wants to achieve in the community in terms of land use, economic development, and accessibility for everyone. Mr. Bay said after these issues have been dealt with, then progress can be made towards influenc- ing the design of the facilities. Mr. Bay illustrated his points via a slide presentation which shows a preliminary design plan for Light Rail Transit in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as well as slides showing existing rail systems in Portland Oregon, Vancouver B.C., Miami, Long Beach, and Calgary. Councilmember Palmer asked how much land is generally required for a station. Mr Bay said a mini- mum of 24x400 feet plus the right of way. Mr. Bay said if the station required a 500 space park and ride lot, the area required could be acres: Councilmember Palmer asked if any studies have been performed on the length of disruption or cost recovery to businesses located within the construction zone. Mr. Bay said studies have been performed and the length of time would be gener- ally in the range of one year. Mr. Bay said in some very tough environments it could be as long as two years. Mr. Bay said in a good environment, it could be as short as 6 months. Councilmember Palmer asked if it could be said that stations bring economic prosperity to the radius of 1-3 miles of the station. Mr. Bay replied affirmatively, but only if the collaborative process earlier described, has gone on between the transit agencies and the local government. Councilmember Nordquist asked if Sno-Tran or members from the Regional Transit Project have been in contact with personnel from Aurora Village to make that a viable site for a possible station location and parking facility. Councilmember Nordquist asked if they have considered the impact of the reconstruction of the interchange at 205th and the Freeway, which will done over complete- ly. Carolyn Feiss said to her knowledge, the activity at Aurora Village has been tied in to a team of planners in North King County, as well as Metro. Mr. Feiss said she has been unable to keep up to date on all the activities at Aurora Village. Ms. Feiss said she would find out more information and get back to the Council. Regarding the freeway reconstruction, Ms. Feiss said Sno-Tran is in regular consultation with the Department of Transportation. Councilmember Nord- quist said it would seem to him in the selection process of the corridors, there must be some idea of where the stations would be, as he thinks Aurora Village would be a key station. Ms. Feiss concurred and said Aurora Village would be a key station if the line is put on Highway 99, as well as a station at 220th. Ms. Feiss said the 44th West Park and Ride lot in Lynnwood would probably serve the Park and Ride requirement for this area. Ms. Feiss said she cannot envision a park and ride lot in the Highway 99 corridor. Councilmember Petruzzi asked how many people in Snohomish County is envisioned to ride the tran- sit rail, and Mr. Bay replied 20,000. Council President Earling said he feels frustration as he does not see so far that a collabora- tive process has been set up at this point. Mr. Bay said this is normal in the beginning and said this is why he stresses the collaborative process is of the utmost importance and should begin now. Councilmember Palmer said he would like to send a message that consideration is given to an actu- al feeder line which would start at the ferry dock which would link to the local busses and coast- al transit, etc. rather than stop gap measures. Ms. Feiss said the ferry system in Edmonds and Mukilteo is a major concern and will be addressed. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 3 April 27, 1993 UPDATE BY CONSULTANT ON WATERFRONT PLAN John Owens of MAKERS, presented the Council with an update to the downtown/waterfront plan. Some L of the key features presented by Mr. Owens for short term ideas (1-5 years) for implementation included: 1) Plan for ferry terminal relocation and reuse of site; 2) Establish park at Anderson Marina; 3) Complete shoreline walkway/esplanade trail; 4) Plan for joining public/private develop- ment of area between SR-104.and railroad tracks; and 5) Upgrade secondary downtown streets (no widening. Some of the key features for long term implementation ( 5-15 years) included: 1) Create intermodal passenger terminal at Point Edwards including rail, ferry, park & ride/auto; bus; connections to other features and amenities; traffic revisions and management; and 2) Redevelop UNOCAL site with potential options for conference center, housing, and senior facilities. Mr. Owens illustrated a slide presentation which visually showed the ideas and plans. Councilmember Kasper noted the plans do not show a breakwater and the plans show Admiral Way going straight through. Rob Chave, Planning Manager, said he is currently having discussions with the Port, which include those issues. Councilmember Kasper said the Port has not yet come before l the Council with their updated Master Plan. Mr. Chave said the Port is currently working on it, c D ��and will be coming before the Council when they are completed. Councilmember Kasper wanted to i know why Stevens Hospital was applying for a building permit when their Master Plan has not yet come before the City Council for approval, which was called out in the construction of.the Top Foods project. UPDATE ON TRANSPORTATION PLAN n Dave Walker, of Bell -Walker Engineers, distributed informational materials to the Mayor and Coun- cil. It was noted in the Agenda Memo that in general, the public comments reflect a frustration with increased traffic, speeding motorists, traffic impacts on local neighborhoods, growth, com- (((((( muter traffic through the City, ferry traffic, non-residential traffic on residential streets, and the uncertainty of future traffic. The public does not want their street to be an arterial street and want local neighborhood traffic control programs and a reduction in traffic and speed- ing throughout the City. An issue that is not known and a concern of the Traffic Advisory Committee is the amount of pass through commuter traffic on 9th Avenue, Olympic View Drive, and 76th Avenue. Wa. It was noted a license plate survey (origin/destination study) during the p.m. peak hour would provide this information. The cost of the survey is estimated at $6,000. The survey would be done on a time and material basis, with college student participation encouraged to keep the costs to a minimum. The advisory committee supports the need for the survey. It was noted the survey could be com- pleted in a couple of weeks. Councilmembers discussed the issue and said the growth rate of Edmonds is far less then the num- ber of people travelling through Edmonds. It was the general consensus that the City should not have to accommodate these travelers at the expense of the citizens of Edmonds. Councilmember Petruzzi suggested the level of service be lowered through Edmonds which would mean that the people simply using the streets of Edmonds to get somewhere else would look elsewhere. Lj) Councilmember Kasper wanted to know why a four lane road is proposed from Olympic View Drive down C 0 W�'k Kasper, then returning to a two lane road to 3rd Avenue. Councilmember Kasper asked why the plan shows a two lane road from 9th Avenue west to 5th on Main Street when the bulk of the traffic is 01 on west of 9th Avenue. Councilmember Kasper said this makes no sense. / Councilmember Palmer said he would like to see the City Council hold a Saturday work meeting in order to study the issues further and have available, the large maps and drawings. Councilmembers concurred. As Mayor Hall wished to hear members of the Advisory Committee speak, COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO ALLOW FIVE MINUTES OF INPUT. MOTION CARRIED. Rob Morrison, member of the Traffic Advisory Committee, said there has been a lot of citizen input and great concerns of those citizen include the frustration with increased traffic, speed- ing motorists and traffic impacts on local neighborhoods. Sid Locke, member of the Traffic Advisory Committee, pointed out that Police and Fire have con- cerns with 9th Avenue if speed bumps or other devices were implemented, as this would slow down their travel time down that street. Councilmember Earling thanked the citizens who have taken an interest in this issue. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 4 April 27, 1993 Councilmember Earling said much discussion is needed, and referred the voluminous material the Council has been provided with. COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO AUTHORIZE AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONSULTANT'S AGREEMENT FOR A LICENSE PLATE SURVEY AND APPROPRIATE $6,000 FROM_ FUND 112 AND FUND 300 ENDING CASH BALANCE. Under discussion, Councilmember Kasper asked if this license plate survey included surveying the automobiles coming off the ferry, and Mr. Walker replied negatively. Councilmember Kasper felt this should be included. Councilmember Palmer said he also believes the survey should include the ferry traffic as well as expanding the number of measuring points. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED TO AMEND THE MAIN MOTION TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO OPEN NEGOTIATIONS TO EXPAND THE STUDY TO INCLUDE THE FERRY TRAFFIC AND A GREAT- ER NUMBER OF MEASURING POINTS. Under discussion, Councilmember Dwyer asked if there are sufficient funds to include Councilmem- ber Palmer's proposal. City Engineer Bob Alberts replied affirmatively. THE AMENDMENT CARRIED. THE MAIN MOTION THEN CARRIED. Mr. Alberts asked if the Council was interested in ferry traffic just northbound or traffic going to SR-104. Councilmember Palmer said he would like the whole issue surveyed. As a procedural matter, COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO EXTEND THE MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Hall recognized citizen Dave Moore, and invited him to speak at the podium. Mr. Moore sug- gested Councilmembers visually look at the traffic at peak hours on 9th Avenue. COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER THAT WE MOVE THE AGENDA ITEMS 8 AND 9 TO ANOTHER MEETING IN LIGHT OF THE LATE HOUR. As there were staff members present for Agenda Item 8, COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING WITHDREW HIS MOTION. r COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING, TO RESCHEDULE ITEMS 9 AND 10 TO NEXT WEEK AND THAT WE HEAR ITEM 8 HOW SO WE CAN RID OURSELVES OF THE STAFF WHO ARE HERE ACCRUING COMP TIME AND OVERTIME AND THAT WE HEAR ITEM 7 AFTER ITEM 8 BECAUSE IT IS HIS BELIEF WE WILL HAVE LESS STAFF FOR ITEM 7 THAN ITEM 8. MOTION CARRIED. SCUSSION OF STAFFING NEEDS AT TREATMENT PLANT e Paul Mar, Community Services Director, said new and more stringent regulatory standards and man- dates on monitoring combined with increased volumes of wastewater flows have resulted in a need to add staff at the Treatment Plant. Mr. Mar said additional resources are necessary for the City to appropriately maintain/protect its investment in the Plant and keep in regulatory compliance. tt Mr. Mar illustrated an overhead transparencies explaining the reasons why he felt two new employ- ees should be added, and the options of not hiring them. Councilmembers agreed that the positions are warranted and should be approved. Councilmember Kasper said he has long saw the need for increased employees at the Treatment Plant. Councilmember Kasper suggested the City first look into privatization instead of outright hiring of employees. Councilmember Dwyer said he wants to make sure the Treatment Plant is properly staffed, and feels that a contract employee would not work out AS well. Councilmember Dwyer said the Treatment Plant is the most expensive project the City has, and feels it deserves top priority so it is run cor- rectly and efficiently. Councilmember Nordquist supports hiring of the employees, however, said he would like to see jot descriptions come before the Council. Mr. Mar said he will develop j'ob descriptions and salary figures including benefits for Council review. Councilmember Palmer asked if the costs of employing the individuals will be passed along to the other agencies involved, since the standards have become so stringent, necessitating increases staffing, and Mr. Alberts replied affirmatively. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 5 April 27, 1993 COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO ACCEPT RECOMMENDATION #3 WHICH ENVISIONS ADDING ONE OPERATOR AND ONE MECHANICAL INSTRUMENTATION TECHNICIAN TO THE TREAT- MENT PLANT STAFF, WITH STAFF TO PROVIDE THE COUNCIL WITH AN EXACT DOLLAR AMOUNT INCLUDING BENE- FITS FOR EACH POSITION ALONG WITH AN APPROPRIATE JOB DESCRIPTION. MOTION CARRIED. FINANCIAL POSITION REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31,1993 AND REVIEW FINANCIAL CONTINGENCY PLAN Mayor Hall introduced the subject. Mayor Hail said so far the City's financial condition is good, however, stated there is no doubt that the economy could slow further. Mayor Hall said as a pre- caution, she and her cabinet have prepared a Financial Plan. Mayor Hall said the plan provides a process for monitoring and evaluating data and a process for implementing action. C�k Mr. Housler reviewed the Agenda. Packet information which stated the City's financial position , improved dramatically with the inclusion of the March 1993 data. Revenues are approximately $207,000 more than targeted, and expenditures are approximately $21,000 less. Mr. Housler said, however, he is extremely concerned about the pending layoffs at various companies, the impact of mergers and the problems with the international economies. The Council proceeded to review the Mayor's Plan. Although there were some parts in the Plan Council questioned, Councilmember Palmer clarified this is the Plan of the Mayor and is not sub- ject to Council approval. APPROVAL TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR P_L_ANNING BOARD AGENDA PUBLISHING FOR REMAINDER OF 1993 (Item (M) on the Consent Agenda v� As the Council previously authorized the publishing for the Planning Board Agendas, they then discussed the appropriate funding source. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO APPROPRIATE $950 OUT OF THE REVENUES WHICH WERE UNANTICIPATED. Under discussion, Councilmember Dwyer said he is not comfortable with taking the money out of this fund. Councilmember Palmer said as this was an item which was previously cut from the budget, thereby making it an anticipated and planned item, he feels it is not proper to take it out of the Contin- gency Fund. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Dwyer, Councilmember Hall, and Councilmember Petruzzi voting no. COUNCIL " C- Councilmember Nordquist described a recent situation where a Medic 7 unit was parked in a SAAB parking lot on Highway 99. Councilmember Nordquist said after looking into the matter, he found that Stevens Hospital had bought the property. Councilmember Nordquist said after reviewing past minutes, he found that on September 25, 1992, Steve McCary, Hospital Administrator, was to pro- vide the City with a Master Plan, which was subsequently cancelled by Mr. McCary. Councilmember Nordquist asked why they have not come forward as of yet. Rob Chave, Planning Manager, said the Hospital is continuing to work on the Master Plan and will be coming before the Council. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER'DWYER, TO WRITE A LETTER TO STEVE McCARY INQUIRING ON THE STATUS OF THE MASTER PLAN. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Chave suggested the Council set some time aside in their May 1993 Work Meeting to review the Master Planning efforts of the Hospital, School District, Port, PUD, and the City of Edmonds. The Council was receptive to this idea. Council President Earling said he recently reported to the Ad -Hoc Committee that the Edmonds City Council supports their motion with the conditions that it be tied to the multi -modal facility at UNOCAL. Council President Earling said he got the idea that Mayor Pete Kinch was not pleased with this condition because it may slow up the process. Council President Earling suggested each Coun- cilmember contact their JRCP members and stress to them the importance of attaching the multi -mod- al site to commuter rail. Councilmember Petruzzi said he is still waiting for the Council to review the Ordinance for the 006 Fund. Councilmember Kasper said the City should write a letter to the Chamber of Commerce thanking them for their Resolution supporting the Pt. Edwards site for a multi -modal site and ferry relocation. With no further business before the Council, Mayor Hall adjourned the meeting at 10:49 p.m. THESE ARE DRAFT COUNCIL APPROVAL NUTES OF APRIL 27, 1993 CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND ARE. -SUBJECT TO MAY 4, 1993 ura.,M.� HaT1 , 'Mayor Rhonda J.
