Mayor Hall said she feels there will be no problems with the contract. City Attorney Scott Snyder said Councilmember Palmer brought up a good point, and said the contract is set up so that either party can pull out of the contract with 30 days notice. As Councilmember Palmer wanted to have staff find out if the De- partment of Justice has committed to the funds before approving the contract, COUNCILMEMBER PALM - ER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING, TO DEFER THIS ITEM TO THE JUNE 15, 1993 CITY COUNCIL MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. AUDIENCE er✓ Penny Whitehead, 7415 Lake Ballinger Way, representing her neighbors and Lake Ballinger Community �j Club, addressed a problem in -her neighborhood. Ms. Whitehead said a business called "Second Chance" is taking up residence in her neighborhood under false pretenses. Ms. Whitehead said "Second Chance" applied to the City of Edmonds for a business license to operate a foster care home. Ms. Whitehead said they did not reveal to the City that it is really a half -way house for boys, ages 13-21 who are on work release. Ms. Whitehead asked the City to look into the matter, as the Lake Ballinger Community Club has retained legal council to fight the business entering the neighborhood. Jeff Wilson, Planning Supervisor, said Ms. Whitehead is correct in that "Second Chance" applied to the City as a foster home. Mr. Wilson said if the business revealed it was a halfway house, a conditional use process would have taken effect, however, the business did not reveal this fact. Mayor Hall said she is aware of the situation and said an investigation is underway. City Attorney Scott Snyder said a letter requesting information has been drafted for the Mayor's signature and will be sent out in the next few days to the principals of "Second Chance". Councilmember Nordquist said he is a resident of Lake Ballinger, however, is not a member of the Ballinger Community Club. Councilmember Nordquist said Ms. Whitehead contacted him and he encour- aged her to write a letter concerning the problem, so it could become part of the public record. Councilmember Nordquist said he also suggested she contact Senator Nelson and Representative Wood, in which they both responded to her. Councilmember Nordquist said he appreciates the effort Staff is placing on this matter, and said he would appreciate any help the Mayor could give on behalf of the Lake Ballinger residents, in light of the severity of the problem. Councilmember Palmer said he was also contacted by a member of the Lake Ballinger Community Club, C0 J�'~G,5'�' and asked the Mayor to submit a report to the Council concerning the results of the investigation. ,( too Mayor Hall thanked Ms. Whitehead and said she will be in touch with her during the process of the investigation. Natalie Shippen, 1022 Euclid, asked what the maximum number of ferries are that could be placed on the Edmonds -Kingston run if another slip was added. Community Services Director Paul Mar said he believes the number is three, and said the purpose of an additional slip is not to add more ferries, but to act as a backup in case something happens to the main ferry slip. As no other member of the audience wished to come forward, Mayor Hall. closed the audience portion of the meeting. REVI';W OF 1993 LEGISLATIVE SESSION BY STATE LEGISLATORS, SENATOR GARY NELSON, AND REPRESENTATIVES JEANNETTE WOOD AND PAULL SHIN Senator Nelson, Representative Wood, and Representative Paul Shin gave their evaluations of what the 1993 State Legislative Session did and did not accomplish. Items reported on included the Health Bill, Education Reform, Criminal Justice Funding, and new bidding laws which require the n City to now publish the small works roster two times a years so that smaller businesses within the city have an opportunity to bid on projects they might not.have otherwise known about. v Senator Nelson commended the City of taking a large role in getting the attention of the D.O.T. concerning the City's intent to develop the UnoCal site into a multi -modal facility. Senator 'CACANelson said he was pleased that the City received the $250,000 in grant money to perform prelimi 1,j & nary studies at Pt. Edwards. Senator Nelson noted the legislature is looking at restructuring the organization of the Department of Transportation, so it would get the cities more involved in ,u15`�-,y✓ their own city projects. Also discussed was the pension programs, and increased chances for pri- vate ferry operations. Senator Nelson and Representatives Wood and Shin thanked the City for stl6 keeping them advised of what they felt was important for the City so they could carry out the wishes of the city. Senator Nelson said the City should look into available funds stemming from a gas tax that was collected in 1991. Senator Nelson said those funds are available and could be utilized for acquisition of parks, and waterfront property. Mayor Hall and Councilmembers thanked Senator Nelson, Representative Wood, and Representative Shin. HEARING ON APPEAL OF HEARING EXAMINER'S DECISION OF DENIAL TO ALLOW TEMPORARY PARKING LOT AT 105 SECOND AVENUE NORTH (APPLICANT/APPELLANT: DIAMOND PARKING/FILE NOS. AP-93-82/CUP-93-28 Jeff Wilson, Planning Supervisor, said on April 30, 1993, the appellant, Mr. Ross Alanson, City Manager for Diamond Parking, submitted a letter appealing the Hearing Examiner's decision to deny a conditional use permit application to allow the continuation of a temporary parking facility located at 105 2nd Avenue N. Mr. Wilson said since the uses conception in 1985, two Conditional Use Permits were used for a temporary parking facility on the subject property. In both case, the proponent was not required to improve the lot in accordance with Edmonds Community Development Code Sections 18.95.020 and 18.30 since it was considered a temporary use. The subject facility consists of gravel and unmarked parking spaces, paved drive aisles, and an unmaintained landscap- ing. Mr. Wilson said the subject parking facility has operated in a temporary manner for approxi- EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 2 June 1, 1993 mately eight years, and without a valid Conditional Use Permit during the majority of the time, since both permits were used for a one year period. Mr. Wilson said the intent of the Edmonds Community Development Code is to allow an unimproved parking facility for a limited time period in order to fulfill the needs of a temporary demand, when the use was approved to meet the short term employee parking needs of the Edmonds Post Office while the new Perrinville station- was being construction. Mr. Wilson said it is staff recommendation to deny the appeal and uphold the Hearing Examiner's decision to deny the temporary parking lot use. Testimony of the Applicant/Appellant Ross Alanson, City Manager for Diamond Parking, cited the following four points regarding the appeal: 1) The denial of the use will result in a detrimental situation to the community, since vehicles will be forced to park along the already crowded streets, and the lot will become a vacant and unmaintained "eyesore" (2) that the subject parking lot is consistent with the Compre- hensive Plan, since its landscaping is "above average" when compared to other parking lots in the downtown area; (3) that since the subject request is for the continuation of a temporary parking facility, compliance with ECDC Section 18.95 (parking lot construction) should not be required; and (4) that the proposal is consistent with the long term planning goals of the community in that the parking facility would be the best use of the property while a redevelopment is formulat- ed. Mr. Alanson said it is unrealistic to make the applicant pay $30,000 in improvements, when in two years the owner of the property might secure financing to build a restaurant or other busi- ness on the current property. Councilmember Petruzzi asked if the owner of the subject property will decide on a use of the property by 1994. Mr. Alanson said he does not know the time frame the landowner has for develop- ment of the property. Mr. Alanson said his contention is this is the first permit application under the new net four year definition on how long a temporary parking lot would be allowed to be in use. Councilmember Hall left Council Chambers Councilmember Dwyer said it his understanding the property is owned by a Mr. Stiket from Bothell. Mr. Alanson said this is correct. Councilmember Dwyer asked what Diamond Parking's rela- tionship is to the property. Mr. Alanson said Diamond has a month to month contract with the owner. Lee Stiket, resident of Bothell, owner of the subject property, said he and his wife acquired the property approximately 2-1/2 - 3 years ago. Mr. Stiket said at that time, the title of the proper- ty came with an agreement signed with the Post Office to use the property as a parking lot for the Post Office until the one in Perrinville was built. Mr. Stiket said he agrees that the best use of the property is not a parking lot, however, said economic times are such that financing is not available at the present time to build another project such as a restaurant or other commer- cial use. Mr. Stiket said until the economy changes and he is able to get a loan to redevelop he doesn't believe the City should take away the little income he receives from parking revenues. Mr. Stiket said the parking lot serves a great need in the community. Councilmember Dwyer asked Mr. Stiket if he has a timetable for doing something with the property other than continuing it as a temporary parking lot. Mr. Stiket said he would like to redevelop the property now, however, the financing is just not available at the present time. Mike Montgomery, 23422 94th Avenue West, Edmonds, Director of the Real Estate Division for Dia- mond Parking, said a family member of his also has a business in the downtown area in which he assists from time to time. Mr. Montgomery said the business community wants to the continue the use of the parking lot. Mr. Montgomery said it does not make sense to force the owner to pay approximately $30,000 in improvements to a temporary parking lot, to "bring it up to code" when it is a temporary use. Don Bartholomaus, 16008 66th Avenue, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce, said he was recently in the area of the parking lot in the evening hours and said the subject parking lot had several cars utilizing the lot, as well as parking all the way down the street. Mr. Bartholomaus asked the Council to allow the continued use of the property as a temporary parking lot. Mr. Curtis, a local businessman said the lot provides a great service to his employees, who other- wise would have to park farther away from the business. Mr. Curtis asked the Council to allow the continued use of the temporary parking lot. 77 Dee Giguere, 1018 Walnut Street, asked if the land owner of the subject property is complying with the requirements of the storm water management issues and standards. Mayor Hall said this has been taken into consideration by staff members. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 3 June 1, 1993 Ross Alanson, Applicant/ Appellant, said the property owner is more than willing to put some improvements to the temporary lot, but said if the property owner is forced to spend $30,000 on paving, striping, and permanizing the parking lot, the owner will never get that investment back on the monthly parking rental fees, especially if financing does come available and he is then able to do something else with the property. Mr. Alanson asked the Council to consider the matter carefully. As no other member of the audience wished to speak, Mayor Hall closed the public portion of the hearing. Councilmember Hall returned to Council Chambers Councilmember Dwyer said the information in the record indicates that the ordinance that dealt with a four year time limitation was passed in January of 1991. Councilmember Dwyer said he would be interested in fashioning a result that allows the use to continue under the rules that govern a temporary use with an outer limit of the four year anniversary of the effective date of that ordinance. As Councilmember Hall had a question of the applicant/appellant, COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SEC- ONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO SUSPEND THE RULES TO ALLOW COUNCILMEMBER HALL TO ASK A QUES- TION. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Hall asked what the monthly parking fee is, as he wanted to make sure the rate was not out of line. Mr. Alanson replied approximately $2.00 for the first 2 hours, $3.00 for 2-10 hours, and $5.00 for 10 - 24 hours, and the monthly rate would be $35.00 plus tax. Councilmember Petruzzi asked Planning Supervisor Jeff Wilson if there is anything physically wrong with the current parking lot which would pose a safety or health hazard. Mr. Wilson said staff is not aware of anything that would pose a safety or health hazard. Concerning drainage issues, Bob Alberts, City Engineer, said since there is no drainage system on site, oil, and other runoff either soaks into the ground or runs down Main Street. Councilmember Petruzzi said as a person in the banking industry, he understands Mr. Stiket's difficulty in obtaining a loan to redevelop the property due the present economic situtaion. Councilmember Petruzzi agrees with Councilmember. Dwyer's previous comments to fashion a result that would allow the use to continue. Mr. Wilson said the procedure underway is really a matter of enforcement, since the owner did not apply for a continued use, making the present used illegal. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO REINSTATE THE RULES. MOTION CAR- RIED. Councilmember Palmer said he doesn't believe anyone will disagree that the city needs more park- ing, however, his read of the code indicates the Hearing Examiner is correct in his findings. Councilmember Palmer said even though the Council may want to grant the extension of the tempo- rary lot, the Council must abide by the Code, and the Code clearly follows the Hearing Examiner's recommendation. Councilmember Palmer said the request must fit within the guidelines of the Com-- prehensive Plan, and said a thorough review of the Comprehensive Plan does not allow the contin- ued use of the property in the present manner. Councilmember Hall said in reality, because the Council has a denovo power, the Council can do anything it wants. Councilmember Palmer disagreed and said the Council cannot do anything it wants, as it has to abide by by code of the City. Council President Earling said his read of the Code is the same as Councilmember Palmer's, howev- er, said the Council also has a responsibility to make a practical decision a provide a much needed and wanted service to the citizens of Edmonds. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL FOR DISCUSSION, TO UPHOLD THE APPEAL OF THE HEARING EXAMINER'S DECISION AND THAT WE FIND BECAUSE THE USE OF THE PROPERTY IS TEMPORARY AND CAN REMAIN TEMPORARY FOR A PERIOD OF FOUR YEARS FROM THE DATE THAT THE ORDINANCE IN QUESTION BECAME EFFECTIVE. BECAUSE IT IS NOT A PERMANENT USE IT DOES NOT FAIL TO MEET THE REQlfIREMENTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR ZONING ORDINANCE AS REFERENCED IN THE HEARING EXAMINERS FINDINGS #4 and #5 THAT THE PERMIT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE ON THE DATE OF APPLICATION OF FEBRUARY 12, 1993 AND BE SUBJECT FOR RENEWAL FOR ONE YEAR IF APPLIED BY BY FEBRUARY, 1994. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 4 June 1, 1993 Under discussion, Council President Earling asked if the motion intends that the property owner will make the improvements to the property as he volunteered. Council member. Dwyer replied affirma- tively. Councilmember Petruzzi said an important point that Staff made is the applicant should have reap- plied for this permit a long time ago, as they only had a one year temporary permit and did not come forward in a timely manner. Councilmember Palmer said he is convinced that in order to reach the conclusion being currently discussed, the Council has to not only stretch the facts, but also interpolate that the time the four year limit came into effect in 1991, that this particular element would have been given any particular time extension. Councilmember Palmer said he will be voting against the motion, and stated since Councilmember Hall left Council Chambers during the hearing process, he should not vote on the matter as it may constitute an appearance of fairness. City Attorney Scott Attorney agreed with Councilmember Palmer, and said unless the Council chose to take a 20 minute recess for the purpose of letting Councilmember Hall review the taped portion which he missed, Councilmember Hall should not vote on the matter. MOTION CARRIED WITH Councilmem- ber Dwyer, Councilmember Earling, and Councilmember Petruzzi voting yes, and Councilmember Nord- quist, Councilmember Palmer voting no, and Councilmember Hall abstaining for reasons stated above. HEARING ON PROPOSED PLANNING BOARD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT ON SECTION 17.40.070-PROVISIONS REGARDING NONCONFORMING LOTS (from May 4, 1993) L D a Jeff Wilson, Planning Supervisor, said the proposed amendments revise the restrictions currently placed on nonconforming lots which are also subject to the "lot combination" provisions of ECDC Section 17.40.070. The draft amendments provide for the ability for a property owner who owns an adjacent nonconforming lot (due to size) to develop the lot based on compliance with a sliding lot area percentage. Public Testimony As no member of the public wished to speak on this item, Mayor Hall closed the public portion of the hearing. Council discussion and action COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 2936, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, RETITLING AND AMENDING THE PROVISIONS OF THE EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 17.40.070 NON CONFORMING LOTS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE AN EXCEPTION FROM LOT COMBINATION PROVISIONS AND FIXING A TIME WHEN THE SAME SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE. MOTION CARRIED. DISCUSSION ON CLASSIFICATION OF STATE HIGHWAYS 4e, Bob Alberts, City Engineer, asked that Council concur with staff recommendation which supports SR 5 99 as class 4, SR 524 as class 5, and SR 104 as class 4. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO ADOPT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION. MOTION CARRIED. At 9:17 p.m., the City Council took a four minute break and reconvened in Council Chambers at 9:21 p.m. CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND REPORT ON DESTINATION STUDY Bob Alberts, City Engineer, said on April 27, 1993, the transportation consultant presented the yL5 P ' preliminary finding of the Transportation Study. The Council approved an Orgin-Destination Study for 76th Ave. W., 9th Ave., and traffic generated at the ferry terminal. Mr. Alberts said the ' consultant is prepared to complete a draft transportation plan once there is concurrence, modifi- cation, or rejection of the following four points: 1) a city-wide neighborhood traffic control program on neighborhood streets; 2) Arterial street designations and improvements, 3) Level of Service D city-wide, and; 4) Origin -Destination Study. Dave Zlinsky, Transportation Consultant, reviewed his findings of the transportation study via charts and overhead transparencies. Mr. Zlinsky said results showed approximately 22% of north- bound traffic on 9th Avenue is "through trips" or traffic using Edmonds to drive through to get to another destination. Mr. Zlinsky said the study also found 60% of the ferry traffic at 3rd and Main leaves the city using 200th Street S.W., 212th Street S.W. and 196th Street S.W. as arterials. Mr. Zlinsky said the highest amount of through traffic occurs when traffic is at its peak, and people are looking for alternate routes to reach their destination. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 5 June 1, 1993 Councilmember Palmer commented that the results of the origin -destination study only indicated traffic patterns in the late afternoon hours, and the study does not take into account the morn- ing hours when there is just as much traffic. Councilmember Nordquist said in the morning hours, people usually take a different route than they do in the late afternoon hours. Council President Earling requested the Council receive copies of the charts Mr. Zlinsky showed in the overhead transparencies. Mr. Zlinsky said he would supply these to the Council. Regarding neighborhood control devices, Council President Earling said there are are neighbor- hoods that would definitely benefit from these, however, stated his concern with them being every- where in the city as he is concerned about motorists within city limits who may be inconvenienced by possible alternations to the city streets. Council President Earling said there are a lot of people, including himself, who work here and are in the community all day long. Council President Earling said he is just one example of someone who use the streets differently than commuters. Councilmember Petruzzi inquired on the costs of the neighborhood control devices, as he said it may not be financially feasible. As a procedural matter, COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING, TO EXTEND THE MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Nordquist said the Edmonds City Council went on record, many years ago, requesting the State Highway Department put in policy that all truck routes would come down the freeway and turn at the County line and then follow that route into the city and then use Highway 99 rather then use any side streets. Councilmember Nordquist said it was also requested that that the State Highway Department route any ferry traffic down to SR 104. Councilmember Nordquist said there is virtually no signage on SR 104 indicating it as a sign route. Council President Earling said he will get together with City Engineer Bob Alberts to set an Agenda date to continue this discussion. Councilmember Palmer said he would like the Council receive a map showing the current designa- tions and then have overlays for each of the components presented to the Council such as the neighborhood traffic control component, collection statistics regarding the number of lanes pro- posed, as well as the materials requested by Council President Earling. City Attorney Scott Snyder said in response to a letter he wrote to AWC, and WCIA, they indicated that they have had no significant claims for properly constructed, professionally designed traf- fic barriers. Mr. Snyder said it is his observation, as pointed out in his memo, is that true access streets (true neighborhood streets), the City can design a neighborhood program around them. Mr. Snyder said it is his observation that the City will not have problems designating major arterials, but the real difficulty and where most of the concern is going to come is in the areas what are particularly called collector or secondary arterial streets. Mr. Snyder suggested the City take an approach in a unified manner with public hearings on both the neighborhoods to be designated, and the necessary streets to collect traffic from those neighborhoods. AUTHORIZATION TO FILL VACANT FIREFIGHTER POSITION ",Buzz Buzalsky, Fire Chief, explained this is a request to fill a vacant firefighter position as .,u" soon as possible after July 1st. The vacancy was created by the retirement of Earl Barnard. Chief 1` �051 Buzalsky reviewed the organizational chart of the Fire Department as well as the options of re- 1 1 placement, which were examined prior to his recommending a replacement. COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER FOR AUTHORIZATION TO FILL THE FIREFIGHTER VACANCY. MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED ORDINANCE ADDING NEW SECTION 2.10.080 PROVIDING FOR MAYOR'S EXECUTIVE SECRETARY 041 Brent Hunter, Personnel Manager, said the ordinance is intended so the Mayor's Executive Secre- A o-1 tary's position is an "at -will" position, with the Executive Secretary serving at the pleasure of L the Mayor. '(i� kM COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER FOR APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 2937, ADDING NEW SECTION 2.10.080 PROVIDING FOR MAYOR'S EXECUTIVE SECRETARY. MOTION CARRIED. MAYOR EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 6 June 1, 1993 Mayor Hall noted an upcoming Cable TV Seminar in Portland, Oregon on July 22 and 23rd. Mayor Hall said she would like approval to send Community Services Director Paul Mar to this seminar and allocate $500.00 to cover registration, hotel, and meals. Councilmember Palmer spoke in favor of this seminar and said he has heard one of the keynote speakers before and said it would be of great benefit to the City to send Mr. Mr. Mar. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING, TO ALLOCATE $500 FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND TO ALLOW COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR PAUL MAR TO ATTEND THE SEMINAR. `V�-- MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Hall asked for confirmation of ADB prospective Keith Leasure for position #4. COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO CONFIRM KEITH LEASURE AS ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BOARD MEMBER, POSITION 4. Under discussion Council President Earling said he would vote for the appointment, however, asked the Mayor in the future to provide information on potential candidates to the Council sooner than the night of the appointment. Councilmember Palmer and Councilmember Dwyer said although Mr. Leasure has a great deal of experi- ence and has high credentials, they don't believe his qualifications fit under the guidelines for position he is being recommended for. Councilmember Dwyer said he would have no qualms about approving Mr. Leasure's appointment if the ordinance allowed it. Councilmember Palmer agreed and said the ordinance is very specific on the qualifications for each position, and said Mr. Leasure's qualifications fits three of the seven positions, but does not meet the qualifications of the position the Council is being asked to approve. TIE VOTE with Councilmember Hall, Council President Earling, and Councilmember Petruzzi voting yes, and Councilmember Dwyer, Councilmember Palmer, and Councilmember Nordquist voting no. As it was a tie vote, MAYOR HALL VOTED YES, AND THE MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Hall referenced the good turn out at the Memorial Day Ceremony. COUNCIL Councilmember Earling noted the JRPC passed the transportation plan, but with no details on fi- nancing. Councilmember Petruzzi said the Port is receptive to having a joint meeting with the City Council some time in the future. Councilmember Petruzzi said it would be beneficial to have a joint meet- ing with the Town of Woodway to discuss among other things, the proposed multi -modal site. Councilmember Petruzzi asked Mayor Hall if there was any substantive comments that came out of her recent meeting with UnoCal officials, and Mayor Hall replied negatively. Councilmember Petruzzi asked the Mayor to provide the Council with updates on future meetings with UnoCal per- sonnel. Councilmember Hall said personnel from the local fish hatchery, which is the largest private fish hatchery in the country, should be informed and updated of future development in their vicinity. C COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST TO EXCUSE THE ABSENCE OF COUNCIL - MEMBER BILL KASPER FROM TONIGHT'S MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. 05 �/ Councilmember Nordquist said the City has still not received information on the Stevens Hospi- O�b tal's.long range plans. Councilmember Nordquist said he would like the Council to receive a report and where the City is on potential annexations. Mayor Hall said she would get the information to Councilmembers.
