City Engineer Bob Alberts said the expen- diture required contains room for a 15% contingency. Councilmember Petruzzi said the way it is listed, it has a 30% contingency, and asked Mr. Alberts if a total of $90,000 would take care of the contingency, and Mr. Alberts replied affirmatively. Councilmember Palmer said the contingency amount is not categorily broken down in the Agenda Memo at all, and said that information should be listed.

Councilmember Nordquist asked if the maintenance contract would be honored here in Washington, since the piece of machinery is out of their Pasco office. Mr. Miller said he did not know. Coun- cilmember Nordquist said he couldn't understand why the company would be bidding from Pasco when they have an office here in Seattle. COUNCILMEMBER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO APPROVE ITEM (J) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Kasper voting no, as he said he was against this in the beginning and feels the equipment can be.rented. AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN RENEWAL CONTRACT FOR PROFESSIONAL__ COLLECTION SERVICES WITH AL U GORDON AND ASSOCIATES Item LU on the Consent Agenda uJ' Councilmember Nordquist said he would like to see this go out for competitive bid. Councilmember Nordquist said it is a good idea for the City to go out into the market and check other companies before this is approved. City Attorney Scott Snyder said the contract was automatically renewed three weeks ago, and is too late to go out to bid. Mr. Snyder said the City could go out to bid next year. Councilmember Nordquist asked why the City Council was not informed that the Contract was going to expire three weeks ago. Sherrie Gursley, Court Administrator, said Court has been very pleased with the results obtained by Al Gordon and Associates and said the longer the City is with them, the more money they are able to collect. Councilmember Nordquist said it would have been a courtesy to at least let the City Council know that the Contract was going to expire and was up for renewal. It was noted by the City Attorney that when the contract expires next year, it will not be up for automatic renewal and the City will have to take some action, which could be to go out for compet- itive bid. As Councilmembers felt it was a moot point to approve this item, as the contract was already executed, COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO DO NOTHING. MOTION CARRIED. APPROVAL OF TWO (21 NEW POSITIONS AT TREATMENT_ PLANT_ AND APPROPRIATION ($14,960) (from April 27, 1993 Item L on t-Fi-e-T—ons ent A enda Councilmember Nordquist said in the proposal that Paul Mar, Community Services Director, previous- ly made, he made a comment that because of the newness of the plant, the City had to act adequate- ��j ly to man the plan, the City needed two more FTE's. Councilmember Nordquist said the proposal 10y now before the Council gives the idea that the reduced overtime is going to be paying for the people the City is going to be hiring, and Councilmember Nordquist feels this is a misnomer. Councilmember Nordquist said in the business world, overtime is another factor that is incurred, �OS and said he would like this proposal to reflect that the $14,960 i's the maximum amount to be authorized. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO APPROVE THE TWO POSITIONS AND APPROPRIATE $14,960 FROM FUND 411 ENDING CASH BALANCE, WITH THE STIPULATION THAT THE EXPENDITURE IS NOT TO EXCEED $14,960. Under discussion, Councilmember Palmer asked if the cost is going to be shared with the other participants, and Mr. Alberts replied affirmatively and noted he has discussed this with them. MOTION CARRIED. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 2 May 18, 1993 AUDIENCE Rich Demarutis, 921 Pine Street, questioned the process utilized in hiring consultant Bruce Agnew. Mr. Demarutis said the position was not advertised so competitive bids could be received. Mayor Hall and City Attorney Scott Snyder assured Mr. Demarutis that the proper procedures were adhered to. Mr. Snyder outlined the procedure that was used in obtaining the services of Mr. C Agnew. PRESENTATION OF CONSERVATION FUTURES GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $525,000 BY SNOHOMISH COUNTY COUNCIL- REMBER BILL BRUBAKER FOR ACQUISITION OF A'NDERSON MARINE PROPERTY CQ f Mr. Brubaker presented the Mayor and City Council with a check in the amount of $525,000 to be p used towards the acquisition of the Anderson Marine Property. Mr. Brubaker congratulated the City on receiving the grant and encouraged the City to keep applying for available future grants. A, Mayor Hall thanked Parks and Recreation Manager Arvilla Ohlde for her hard work in obtaining the I fgrant on behalf of the City. RECOGNITION OF STATE CRIME PREVENTION OFFICER OF THE YEAR AWARD TO ROGER DALZELL Mayor Hall publicly recognized Officer Roger Dalzell for being honored by the Washington State �fC Crime Prevention Association as Practitioner of the Year for his excellent work with the City of Edmonds' Crime Prevention Program. Mayor Hall noted Officer Dalzell became the department's l first full time crime prevention officer. Mayor Hall introduced Assistant Chief Wally Tribuzio, $ who congratulated Officer Dalzell. Assistant Chief Tribuzio said Police Chief Dan Prinz was D 1✓ present in Spokane when Officer Dalzell received the award. Assistant Chief Tribuzio said Block p,,1 3 Watch is just one of the many crime prevention programs coordinated by Officer Roger Dalzell of the Edmonds Police Department. He noted the many achievements reached by Officer Dalzell and said he is a great asset to the City of Edmonds. The Mayor and Council thanked Officer Dalzell for his excellent service to the City and to the community. PRESENTATION BY CONSULTANT BRUCE AGNEW REGARDING TRANSPORTATION ISSUES AND FUNDING Mr. Agnew said the multi -modal project continues to gain momentum and support for its unique approach to a serious safety and congestion problem at the current ferry dock. Mr. Agnew said Paul Mar, Community Services Director, and other city staff are doing an excellent job in tack- n �� ling a very complicated public works project. Mr. Agnew reported that recent state and adminis- Y�(, l trative legislatii,e actions approving $300,000 and $250,000 in project planning and Edmonds- 0 a Kingston corridor programs, respectively, reflect the technical merits of the City's approach. Mr. Agnew said with the political support by Poulsbo, Kitsap Transit Board, Snohomish County '(0 Committee for Improved Transportation, etc, he and City staff have been able to secure a greater regional interest in turning a current traffic chokehold into an efficient transfer point for all modes of surface and marine traffic along this corridor. Mr. Agnew reported the planning program still needs an additional $400,000 and stated that con- gressional action will continue next week and throughout this summer/fall. He said that has been working with Representatives Maria Cantwell, Norm Dicks and Senators Slade Gorton, Patty Murray and the Appropriations Committee staff by phone and in person in Washington D.C. to pursue a Transportation Appropriation line item of $350,000 for the Edmonds multi -modal project planning study. He. said the request was first made by Council President Earling when he travelled to D.C. as part of the Community Transit delegation. Mr. Agnew said this type of multi -modal project is what Congress envisioned when it passed the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act last year and said the project qualifies for federal funding under several categories. As a general rule, Mr. Agnew said Congress and WSDOT are hesitant to fund --through a separate line item --planning projects, preferring to participate later in the construction phase after the feasibility of.the project has been proven. Mr. Agnew said the budget climate this year has been particularly difficult. because transportation funding in an overall federal budget has remained flat and new projects not previously funded are diffi- cult to add. However, Mr. Agnew said the new ISTEA law calls for innovation and creativity and with it a certain degree of risk. Mr. Agnew said in terms of Snohomish County, the Economic Development'Council needs to list it as one of its major capital projects and the County Executive and County Council should also endorse the proposal. As the private sector representative for the Washington Transportation Policy Insti- tute from the First Congressional District, Mr. Agnew said he will be working to include multi - modal facilities in any future state transportation funding program. Mr. Agnew said he would provide more information in next report regarding funding strategy. The Mayor and Council thanked Mr. Agnew for his report. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 3 May 18, 1993 REVIEW OF GENERAL FUND FINANCIAL POSITION FOR THE_PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 1993 Administrative Services Supervisor Art Housler reported on the financial position of the City for the period ended April 30, 1993. Mr. Housler said April's revenue was 97% of target, and noted the 3% shortfall, totalling $34,396, was a result of numerous revenue line items being below target by small amounts. Mr. Housler said year-to-date revenues are still 5.1%' more than the target. �yIfi Uri Mr. Housler said compared to the percentage of budget, both revenues and expenditures are better 0 than last year and said revenues are more (27.3%) and expenditures are less (31.2%). In actual dollars, he noted revenues are approximately $208,000 more than in 1992. Mr. Housler said with- out knowing the amount of sales tax revenue received from Honda and Top Foods, it is difficult to determine if there was a gain in net sales tax revenue. Mr. Housler said after segregating Honda and Top Foods revenues for the month of April, there was actually $29,221 or 15.8% less. General- ly, Mr. Housler said the drop in local retail sales is reflective of the drop in consumer confi- dence. Mr. Housler reviewed various financial charts with the Mayor and Council. Councilmember Petruzzi said the City is supposed to receive almost two million dollars worth of revenue in May and asked Mr. Housler what his thoughts are on the matter. Regarding real estate tax revenue, Mr. Housler said a pessimistic opinion, is the City will receive 98% of property taxes, and an optimistic opinion is, the City will receive 102%. Councilmember Petruzzi recommended caution in spending over the next 60 days until the City knows for sure if it will collect the entire two million dollars that it is expecting in May. PROPOSED ORDINANCE REGARDING INTERFUND TRANSFERS AND REPAYMENT (continued from March 23 and April Councilmember Dwyer referenced his recommended changes to the original proposed ordinance, and said this was prepared in accordance with instructions from the City Council. Councilmember Dwyer referred Councilmembers to Attachment 2 in the Agenda Packet which contained the revisions. Councilmember Kasper said he has not supported this in the past, however with the changes includ- ed in Attachment 2 would now support it. Councilmember Petruzzi said he is pleased with the changes and said he will support the document. City Attorney Scott Snyder suggested one minor revision to Attachment two. On page 2, under Sec- tion 1, line seven, an expiration date of December 31, 1993 be inserted. Mr. Snyder said it is his understanding that the Auditor would like a definite limit on loans rather than open ended authorization. Councilmember Palmer said he will vote against the ordinance, not because he opposes the changes proposed by Councilmember Dwyer, but because he did not support the original proposed ordinance as he is still of the opinion that more can be done right now on the expenditure end of the budg- et, and he is not satisfied that the Contingency Plan puts the city anywhere beyond brinksmanship budgeting. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, THAT -WE DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE MODELED ON ATTACHMENT TWO WITH THE NOTED DELINEATIONS AND WITH THE ADDI- TION OF HIS SUGGESTION OF THE WORDS "UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 1993" ON LINE SEVEN OF SECTION ONE AND THAT IT BE PLACED ON OUR NEXT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Palmer voting no. AUTHORIZATION TO AMEND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH BRUCE AGNEW COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO AMEND THE CONTRACT OF CONSULTANT BRUCE AGNEW, CONTINUING THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES OF MR. AGNEW THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1993, AT $45 PER HOUR NOT TO EXCEED $1500 PER MONTH. MOTION CARRIED. C0 DISCUSSION ON LOCAL VOTERS' PAMPHLET PARTICIPATION FOR 1993 City Clerk Rhonda March said the City Council previously authorized an appropriation of $2000 r from the Council Contingency fund. The additional appropriation is to cover the potential of in- creased costs. Ms. March said at this time, all other cities are participating in the pamphlet. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO FUND AN ADDITIONAL $500 TO MATCH THE ALREADY $2,000 AUTHORIZED AT THE COUNCIL'S APRIL 6, 1993 COUNCIL MEETING. MOTION CAR- RIED. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 4 May 18, 1993 Councilmembers noted a form in the packet whereby the County wants the City to sign a perpetual agreement; whereby the City will automatically be a participant in future pamphlets. Councilmember Dwyer said he believes the City should participate in the pamphlet, however, ex- pressed concern with the increased costs. Councilmember Dwyer said participation in the pamphlet has increased 30% in a short time, and feels this will become a permanent source of funding for the County. Councilmember Dwyer said he would like to participate this year, but does not want the City obligating to the County, a perpetual agreement, and perpetual funding. Councilmember Dwyer said he would like to leave it up to the City not the County, whether or not participation is going to be perpetual. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, THAT ALONG WITH OUR LETTER INFORMING THEM, WE WRITE OUR OWN LETTER INFORMING THEM OF OUR PARTICIPATION AND THAT WE RESERVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO PARTICIPATE BUT THAT WE ARE RESERVING TO OURSELVES, THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR J �r7 NOT WE WILL PARTICIPATE IN FURTHER EDITIONS. Under discussion, Councilmember Nordquist said he will vote against the motion because he be- lieves the City only needs to send the form marked "Participation Authorization" which asked for automatic participation in future editions, to the County with no information filled in. Councilmember Palmer suggested an alternative letter be sent stating that we anticipate participa- tion, however, participation of the City in the pamphlet each year will depend upon the budget process and a vote of the Council. Councilmember Hall feels the pamphlet is a good tool for letting Citizens know who the citizens are and feels the cost is not really a factor. Councilmember Dwyer agreed with Councilmember Hall in that it is a good tool, however, he stated he is against the suggested perpetual participation and the increasing costs. Councilmember Kasper said it bothers him that this was not included in the budget process and said the County should make the information available to the cities in the fall. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Dwyer, Councilmember Petruzzi, Councilmember Kasper, and Coun- cil President Earling voting for the motion, and Councilmember Palmer, Councilmember Nordquist, and Councilmember Hall voting against the motion. PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING THE 1993 BUDGET AS A RESULT OF UNANTIC_IP_A_T_E_D_ TRANSFERS_ AND EXPENDI- TURES OF THE VARIOUS FUNDS Art Housler, Administrative Services Director, said if passed, the ordinance would include the amended budget amounts for Items 8 and 9 on the Agenda. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 2931 WHICH IN- CLUDES THE AMENDED AMOUNTS AUTHORIZED BY THE CITY COUNCIL IN ITEMS 8 AND 9. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON COUNCIL GOALS FROM RETREAT (deferred from May 4, 1993) The City Council discussed Council goals from their 1993 Retreat. It was noted some of the goals �y 't' u are already in the works. The following items are being worked on by various Councilmembers: 1. Community Newsletter. Councilmember Palmer and Councilmember Hall will come forward with a proposal to the City Council in 30 days. 2. Westgate Study be pursued and completed. Councilmember Nordquist said he would like to get this completed and said he will be in touch with Staff when the waterfront plan is completed. 3. Downtown Parking Plan ready for implementation. Councilmember Hall and Councilmember Dwyer will be working this and will be coming forward with a proposal in the future. 4. 5th Tuesdays be set aside for an informal Council gathering to discuss various city issues. Councilmember Nordquist said he would like the Council to consider this as he said many of the current Tuesday night meetings go well past 10:00 p.m. INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL REPORTS/UPDATE ON RESPECTIVE_ BOARD MEETINGS (deferred from May_4, 1993 Council President Earling said Peter Hurley and Bill Brubaker have drafted a new amendment to be forwarded to the JRPC concerning the proposed multi -modal site at UnoCal being tied in to commut- er rail. Council President Earling said he was concerned that their amendment did not contain strong enough language and only suggested "consideration" of a multi -modal site at UnoCal being EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 5 May 18, 1993 tied in to the commuter rail concept. Council President Earling said after talking with them, he is comfortable with their amendment, as they relayed to him that even mentioning the multi -modal site in the document would be a great step forward for the City, as usually, specific projects of cities are not included in documents such as this. t�_, 00) Councilmember Hall said he has spoken with various citizens and downtown business people who have expressed an interest to form a committee on developing a downtown parking plan: Councilmember !10 �,rY,t� Hall said he would report back to the Council when more input is received. a j ''II Councilmember Nordqui'st reported that the Snohomish Health District will be changing the method ,6j�`^6f representative on the Board effective 1994. Councilmember Nordquist said the Health District L . near completion of a new health clinic -on 200th. Regarding the Health District's upcoming sJdO ' 1 hearings on the needle exchange program, Councilmember Nordquist suggested Councilmembers attend (Gj them to give their input. Councilmember Palmer said he does not believe the Council should sup- port this program. Mayor Hall asked for Assistant Chief Tribuzio's opinion on this matter. Assistant Chief Tribuzio said it is the .belief of Chief Prinz and the police department that the program is not a good one. He said it simply supplies paraphernalia for users and attracts undesirables to the area. Councilmember Petruzzi distributed the new publication of Calendar of Events in Edmonds, as pub- lished by the Edmonds Visitors Bureau. Councilmember Petruzzi noted the City of Edmonds has re- cently been voted the friendliest place in Western Washington and feels the efforts on the part of the Bureau has greatly helped in receiving this honor. Councilmember Petruzzi reported the Port will be sharing 50/50 with the City in constructing a Union Oil Marsh interpretive walkway. Councilmember Petruzzi said he has talked with Port offi- cials and believe it is a good idea to hold a joint meeting with the Port at various times during the year. k ✓0.Councilmember Palmer reported on activities of the Cultural Arts Convention District and distrib- C UJ uted materials to the Council regarding space requirements and other related information regard- ing a performance arts facility in Snohomish County. � VCL' Councilmember Dwyer reported on activities of the SNOCOM/Medic 7.

Sro L At 9:00 p.m., Student Representative Sara Belz left the meeting. Mel ` MAYOR Mayor Hall noted the recent Edmonds Community College Homecoming, the new Miss Edmonds "Amy 1L Stering", and referenced an upcoming AWC meeting in Eastern Washington. Councilmember Nordquist Iyt1' G�,tA, said he will be in Eastern Washington during this time, and said he would attend. Mayor Hall said she will also be in attendance. f " COUNCIL Counc.ilmember Palmer said he would like the representatives from District 21 attend an upcoming L c U.V'- Council Meeting to give an update on the 1993 Legislative Session. (-���sk Councilmember Petruzzi said he would like the following information included in the minutes verba- tim: "Now that we appear to have reached the cross roads of understanding about the good sense in creating a multi -modal transportation center at the old UnoCal site, I would like to single out one person, without taking away anything from all the others who have so diligently pursued ` this idea. I personally did not focus on the concept until doing some research on it a couple 1 years ago as the topic for one my town forums. It was only then that I realized it was Bill Kas- per who was visionary enough to have first dreamed the dream of such an undertaking almost 10 years ago. It was Bill Kasper who had the vision to start sharing the dream with others so as it 0 make it a reality. It was Bill Kasper who, the first time I met him, drew this forward looking idea on an 8-1/2x11" paper to explain it to me and to explain how it worked. It was Bill Kasper who was not afraid to take on the D.O.T. in Olympia and in the media'when they proposed expanding the existing ferry dock location and only Bill Kasper would have been able to convince me to work 10 hours as I did during the first week I became a Councilmember reviewing two appraisals on a property now known as Brackett's Landing South because its acquisition was so vital to our over- all waterfront strategy and how it was tied to the vision of the multi -modal site. I am using this time to personally thank Bill Kasper for both his vision and tenacity that he has displayed in pursuing the dream of a multi -modal center". EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 6 May 18, 1993 Mayor Hall said this a different perspective history than the rest of us have, but said it was fine. Councilmember Palmer said there is not a different sense of history and said what Councilmember Petruzzi has stated is accurate. Councilmember Palmer said Bill Kasper has been very tenacious in this whole project and his spearheading of the issue over the past few years is paying dividends now. Councilmember Palmer said as Councilmember Petruzzi pointed out, there have been others who have participated and furthered it along, but he doesn't think anyone has done as much to further it as Councilmember Kasper has. bQr5 f g M COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO EXCUSE COUNCILMEMBER PALMER FROM THE COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 11, 1993 AND COUNCILMEMBER HALL'S ABSENCE FROM THE COUNCIL C D L WS MEETING OF MAY 17, 1993. MOTION CARRIED. �� nc� Councilmember Kasper said the City should seriously considering joining SKITT. Councilmember ' Kasper said this is a very worthwhile organization. Councilmember Kasper said someone has changed the truck route through the City and said there are now a sizable increase of trucks o 5 �• going down 9th Avenue. 2 5 Lx 9 Councilmember Nordquist asked if Stevens Hospital has contacted the City regarding their Master Plan. Mayor Hall said she is in contact with them and Staff will be meeting with them. Councilmember Hall said Councilmembers will be contacted to appear on a series of his upcoming community television shows. Councilmember Hall said his production company will be at a future Council meeting to tape the meeting, which will be aired on a cable channel. Councilmember Hall said this will be an experiment to see how well it works. Councilmember Hall said the Miss Edmonds Pageant is in need of assistance, and feels the City should financially assist them. With no further business before the Mayor or Council, Mayor Hall adjourned the meeting at 9:20 p.m. THE ORIGINAL SIGNED COPY OF THESE MINUTES AS WELL AS A TAPED RECORDING OF ALL COUNCIL MEETINGS CAN BE LOCATED IN THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE. i C-.0, - -,.. �2 Lau Hal ay r R'bnda JJ.
