Council President Pro Tem Kasper referenced a memorandum from the Council Assistant
containing his requested correction to the referenced minutes. The correction was to page
3 of the Draft Minutes under Item "K". (Councilmember Kasper wanted his complete
statement in, not just a portion).
Mayor Hall recognized in the audience, Port Commissioner Don Stay, and Bill Stevens.
AUDIENCE
Doug Dewar, 121 4th Avenue North, spoke on behalf f of the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Dewar referenced Item 8 on the Agenda, specifically, the Statement Paper from the
Edmonds Chamber of Commerce regarding the Architectural Design Board Process. Mr.
Dewar said the Statement has been reviewed and approved by the Executive Board of
the Chamber. Mr. Dewar said the City needs to make it easier for businesses to locate
within the City of Edmonds and asked the Council to simplify the procedures and
streamline the process in order to accomplish this. Mr. Dewar complimented City Staff
and the City Council for moving forward on this issue.
Margaret Doyle, Resident of Edmonds, spoke regarding LID 214. Ms. Doyle said she
does not agree with her assessment and said a great deal of money could be saved if City
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 7, 1994
Page 2
staff would do the work versus having it contracted out. Ms. Doyle said she understands
the City has previously approved this LID, however, asked for reconsideration of the fees.
Ms. Doyle said she sent a letter to the City Council regarding this matter, and to date, has
not received a reply.
Mayor Hall asked Ms. Doyle to contact her office the following day regarding this matter.
Rob Morrison, 250 Beach Place, spoke on behalf of the 3MT Committee, of which he is
Chairman. Mr. Morrison said this committee is a sub -committee to the Economic
Development for the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Morrison invited everyone to a meeting
on Thursday, June 23rd, at the Chamber. Mr. Morrison said attendees at the meeting
will include 10 top representatives in the Transportaion field.
Carol Hahn, resident of Edmonds, asked that the back row of chairs in the Council
Chambers be removed so that disabled persons, such as herself, can maneuver more
easily. Ms. Hahn, said as it stands now, the room is not accessible for persons with
disabilities.
City Clerk Rhonda March and Planning Manager Rob Chave presented the staff report.
The Edmonds -South Snohomish County Historical Society submitted a proposal to
conduct an "Edmonds" Summer Market" on each Saturday during the months of July and
August. The first market is proposed to commence on July 2, 1994. The location of the
open air market is on a portion of the old Safeway property on Sunset Avenue.
Since there is currently no provision in the City Code for licensing or for permitting the
use in the Edmonds Community Development code, a temporary ordinance permitting
the use and licensing for a test period to expire on August 31, 1994 is submitted for
discussion and direction. Due to the shortness of time and the anticipation that Council is
in support of the proposal, it is suggested the City Council pass the proposed ordinance
with any desired changes.
Council Discussion and Deliberation
The City Council was very receptive to this idea and complimented Staff on moving
forward so quickly on this issue. Councilmembers felt it would be a great asset to the
community.

Councilmember Dwyer inquired if the proposed ordinance addressed concerns that were
previously brought up by Assistant Chief Tribuzio. Ms. March said yes. Ms. March said
it has also been reviewed by the Fire Department resulting in no negative comments.
Councilmember Petruzzi noted the sunset date in the proposed ordinance is set for August
31, 1994, and said he believes it could be stretched out until the end of September. Staff
and Council agreed.
Under discussion, Councilmember Dwyer said it is his
continuing view that when any changes are made to the zoning
ordinance, a public hearing should be held. Councilmember
Dwyer requested a public hearing be scheduled and held prior
to the sunset date. Council concurred.
Councilmember Hall said he does not feel it is fair that
someone selling second hand merchandise would have to obtain
a pawnbroker's license, as well as a specialty license in
order to sell their merchandise at the market. Councilmember
Hall said if the police do a background check, that should
suffice.
It was noted that anyone who currently holds a valid
pawnbroker's license and wants to sell their merchandise at
the market, would not have to obtain another one.
As there was more discussion on this issue, COUNCILMEMEER
FAHEY RESCINDED HER MOTION. The seconder agreed.
City Attorney Scott Snyder outlined the fee schedule: It
would cost a participant only $5.00 a day to a maximum of
$40.00, with an additional annual fee of $50.00
it was noted the sunset date was set in order to have this
event on a trial basis to see how it is received by the
Edmonds City Council _ Minutes

community. The public hearing will be scheduled before the
end of that sunset date to receive public input.
UPDATE BY COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR PAUL MAR REGARDING
TRANSPORTATION ISSUES AND FUNDING FOR THE MULTIMODAL PROJECT
Community Services Director Paul Mar presented the staff
report.
The Agenda Packet for this item included the updates status
of Multimodal Transportation Center activity through May
Mr. Mar explained the various meetings in June regarding
this issue. June 14th, the Community Advisory Committee
will hold its first formal meeting with the consultant tem
at 9:30 AM in the Community Services conference room. On
Wednesday, June 22, a public open house will be held in
Kingston to review the schedule and closure dates of the
Edmonds Ferry Terminal for construction of the near term
improvements. On Thursday, June 23rd, the Edmonds Chamber
of Commerce will host a panel discussion of the multimodal
transportation project as part of their monthly general
meeting. On Wednesday, June 29th a -public open house will be
held at the Senior Center from 4 to 8 PM. This open house
will cover both the long term project as well as the
schedule and closure dates of the Edmonds Ferry Terminal for
construction of the near term improvements.
PRESENTATION ON PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING PROGRESS ON
MULTIMODAL PROJECT
��K1� The following people were present for the hearing, and
m C contributed to the presentation to the City Council:
• Paul Green, Assistant Secretary, WSDOT, Marine
Transportation Division
• Ray Deardorf, Planning Director, WSDOT,
• Marine Transportation Division
• Jerry Weed, CH2MHill, project Manager for Consultant
Team.

Community Advisory Committee members present:
Mary Lou Block, Michael Gavin, Harve Harrison, Rob Morrison,
Dave Smith, and Bill Stevens.
Paul Green, Assistant Secretary, WSDOT, Marine
Transportation Division, said he has just completed three
months in his position. Mr. Green said he has been very
impressed with the cooperative spirit that exists between
the City and the WSDOT, Marine Division.
Mr. Green said the Edmonds -Kingston Ferry run is extremely
>s; important to the Ferry System and to the entire region. Mr.
Green said in 1993, 1.8 million vehicles and passengers were
carried on this particular route. Mr. Green said if WSDOT
was to select a permanent site immediately, by the time the
selection was done and up and operating, it is his
understanding, the time frame would be approximately eight
years. Given the growth on this particular run, it concerns
him that some serious issues need to be dealt with in the
short term. Mr. Green described the conditions of the
existing Edmonds Facility Terminal as being very poor. Mr.
.Green said one very important safety issues that needs to be
resolved is the co -mingling of passengers and vehicles. Mr.
Green said that has to be addressed, as well as performance
issues.
Mr. Green said he views the process for a long term
solution, expressly a multi -modal facility to take a great
deal of time to evolve. Mr. Green said he does not expect
this to be completed during his life time.

The presentation continued with various members of the
Consultant team making their presentation. Issues the
Consultant Team presented regarding problems at the current
site include: lack of separation of ferry and rail;
inadequate vehicle holding on the west side of the rail
road; passenger/vehicle conflicts; circulation issues for
high occupancy/oversized vehicles/ ferry dock does not meet
ADA requirement; lack of concurrent passenger,/vehicle
loading; bulkhead needs replacement, pilings need
replacement; wingwalls are in poor condition and of poor
design.
Overhead view foils were illustrated. It is suggested that
interim improvements include enlarging existing walk on the
south side of the terminal by 9 feet (the existing walk way
on the north would be eliminated); lanes 3 and 4 would be
extended; the existed slip would be rehabilitated which
could be removed and relocated when new terminal is
complete. Also, an overhead loading concept was introduced
which, according to the consultants, would comply with ADA
requirements. Also, a drawing of a proposed pedestrian
transfer span and cab was presented. It was noted by the
consultant that this could be removed and relocated when the
new terminal is completed. A drawing of this "preferred
alternative is included in these minutes, listed as
Attachment A". Also, a Diagrammatic Section sketch, which
was discussed, is also attached to these minutes, listed as
Exhibit "B".
It was noted by the Consultants that eel grass exists south
of the current ferry slip which would make it impossible to
construct a second slip in the interim period. However, it
was noted that it could possibility be constructed as a long
term solution but would have to be agreed upon by several
entities
Councilmember Dwyer asked what is being planned for those
disabled persons who arrive on the ferry in a vehicle. It
was noted by Paul Green that all of the Washington State
Ferries are scheduled for retrofitting, and said he believes
the retrofitting will be completed over the next ten years.
Bill Isley noted the overhead loading concept is not part of
the recommendation for the proposed interim improvements.Mr.
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 7, 1994
Page 7
Isley said the sketch of the overhead concept was included
in the drawing to show the visual impact of that.
Councilmember Petruzzi confirmed his understanding that the
overhead loading concept is not considered a short term
solution. Mr. Isley agreed and said the interim improvements
proposed are basically replacement items only,
Councilmember Petruzzi said, however, the high point of the
arm extending from the tower over the water would be 35 to
40 feet in height. Mr. Isley said everything is fixed using
the City's 25' height limit using the deck of the roadway as
a starting point of measure.
Councilmember Petruzzi said, however, the height limit over
the water would be 35 - 40 feet in height. Councilmember
Petruzzi said he doesn't understand why compliance with ADA
means going over the city's height limit. Councilmember
Petruzzi said he doesn't necessarily agree the tower is even
needed. Mr. Isley said a key issue is safety of having
people load at the same time as vehicles. It was noted that
as well as posing a safety problem, it also poses a
performance issue for the ferry system, as it takes more
time to load the ferry when you have to load
passengers/vehicles separately.
Councilmember Dwyer asked if the ferry system has quantified
the time spent from having people and cars loading
separately.
Ray Deardorf, WSDOT, said there is a delay of approximately
2 - 4 minutes. -
Councilmember Dwyer asked if the ferry system has quantified
the time spent from having the delays imposed by the
railroad, as the railroad received first priority over ferry
loading and unloading. Mr. Deardorf said no, as this is
intermittent.
Councilmember Dwyer said it seems to him that perhaps, the
ferry system could work those 2-4 minutes into the schedule.
Mr.Deardorf said by the end of a day, the ferry run has lost
the equivalent of one full run by the delays caused by
loading passengers and vehicles separately.
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 7, 1994
Page 8
Councilmember Dwyer said it seems to him the real issue
isn't scheduling, but the mixing pedestrians and vehicles.
Councilmember Dwyer asled if the ferry system has quantified
that the reason the schedule is late because there has been
an excess of walk-on passengers . Mr. Deardorf said there
are many components to why the system runs late including
increase in vehicular traffic, trains, loading of
pedestrians on and off the car deck.
Councilmember Earling said there have been some shifts on
what has been presented tonight over what was presented at
the Oversite Committee Meeting approximately three weeks
ago. Councilmember Earling said the presentation at the
Oversite Committee included information that the overhead
loading was part of a proposal that the City would get all
in one phase. Councilmember Earling asked if the Consultants
are now backing off on this concept to include this interim -
interim step by not completing the arm that would actually
run out to the ferry.
It was noted by Mr. Isley said perhaps this information at
the-Oversite Committee was not clear. He believes it was
explained at the Oversite Committee that there was a series
of permits required for the overhead loading and that
process would take longer than the emergency repair of the
transfer stand and the wing walls. It was his recollection
that the Oversite meeting talked about a period of time from
about October to March next Winter for the transfer stand
and other work and some time late Summer/Fall of 1995 for.
the other pedestrian work, depending on permits.
Councilmember Earling said he didn't hear it that way at the
Oversite Meeting and he doesn't thing Councilmember Dwyer
heard it that way as well.
Councilmember Earling said in the presentation tonight,
there is much more of a."Stop" before the elevated section
is added.
Councilmember Earling said the presentation tonight also
_includes HOV language which wasn't discussed at the Oversite
meeting. Councilmember Earling asked if this is another
oversight? It was noted that this was an oversight, and
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 7, 1994
Page 9
between the Oversite Meeting and tonight's meetings
clarification has taken place regarding operational needs as
they relate to the needs of the dock.
Councilmember Earling said when the presentation was heard a
few weeks ago, the eel grass situation was discussed. At
that time, everyone was made aware the second slip didn't
appear to be feasible because of the eel grass.
Councilmember Earling said he believes the eel grass was
recognized at that time as a fatal flaw, which wouldn't
allow a second .slip to ever be built. Councilmember Earling
said tonight, it was said a second slip could be built in
the long run if everyone signed off.
It was noted by Mr. Weed that he doesn't believe there has
been a shift on this point. Mr. Weed said at the Oversite
committee, the consultant team knew they needed to be very
clear about the impact of eel grass. The concern about the
eel grass is it will be a lengthy delay, and that if the
City is going to deal with the emergency issues at the
existing dock, the eel grass doesn't deal with emergency
issues, however, there may be a long term solution.
Mr. Townsend, agreed with Mr. Weed and said -in order to
construct a second slip across the eel grass, it would
require the permission of the State Department of Fisheries
and Wildlife, the State Department of Natural Resources plus
many federal agencies. Mr. Townsend said the laws of the
State do not allow to dredge eel grass unless the loss of
the eel grass could be mitigated satisfactorily. Mr.
Townsend said it has not been demonstrated there is an
opportunity to mitigate, successfully, at this site. Mr.
Townsend said the removal of the eel grass, without the
consensus of all parties involved, would be very difficult.
Councilmember Earling said the answer to the eel grass
question is there is a technical process that one would have
to go through to try and obtain the permits to go over the
eel grass. Councilmember Earling, said, however, -the bottom
line ultimately is that it is a political decision. Mr.
Townsend agreed with Councilmember Earling's statements.

Councilmember Kasper referenced the diagram which showed the
proposed three pedestrian crossings that would be needed to
get access to the Bracketts Landing South park.
Councilmember Kasper said the diagram does not show a
crosswalk at all which will allow for safe passage for
pedestrian crossing, especially for senior citizens who wish
to cross.
Councilmember Earling asked how many cars, by the
reconfiguration, can be added to the dock? Mr. Townsend
replied 20.
Councilmember Earling said with the eel grass problem that
has come up, asked if this in any way change the State's
attitude towards whether or not the Main Street is a viable
alternative for future consideration. It was noted by Mr.
Townsend this will be an issue that will influence whether
or not the Main Street is feasible for any kind of expanded
use. Mr. Townsend said eel grass can influence both the Main
Street site and the mid -water front site and may even
influence, to some extent, Point Edward's.
Councilmember Fahey asked if there is any possibility that
the ramp could be.dropped or lowered in-between the loading
stages so it is not always at an elevated level at a time
when there are high tides. It was noted that technically,
it could be dropped.
Councilmember Petruzzi asked if it is possible to include in
the -interim repairs, a design that would meet the ADA
requirements at the end of the dock without going with the
ramp system, which would necessitate exceeding the city's
height limits. It was noted by the Consultants there are
always alternatives.
Paul Green, said he needs two slips right now, however, is
going to be faced with a one slip operation for a long time.
Mr. Green said the State wants to work with the community to
resolve all of the issues. Mr. Green said one of the items
the Council seems to be very concerned about is the 40'in
height. Mr. Green said surely there is a way we can design
that facility that only reaches that height when the ferry
is at the dock.
At 9:05 p.m., the Mayor and City Council recessed for four
minutes and reconvened in Council chambers at 9:09 p.m.
REVIEW OF PROPOSED SNOCOM INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
Councilmember Dwyer introduced the subject. Councilmember
Dwyer referenced the agenda packet which included the draft
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 7, 1994
Page 11
recommended interlocal cooperation agreement, ana a
memorandum from himself.
Councilmember Dwyer said a the June.SNOCOM meeting, of which
he is Chairman, they will again discuss the proposal.
Councilmember Dwyer asked for comments from the City Council
regarding the proposal. It was noted by Councilmember Dwyer
the funding formula has been changed and will result in a
net difference to Edmonds of less than 1/3 of 1k. Fire
District #1 will pay about 201; more under this formula.
Councilmember Dwyer said he believes the funding formula to
be fair.
No questions or concerns were brought forth.
DISCUSSION ON ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BOARD PROCESS
Councilmember Petruzzi began the discussion. Councilmember
Petruzzi said the Architectural Design Board does very good
work and works extremely hard. Councilmember Petruzzi said,
however, he believes the Council needs to give them better
policy direction and better guidelines. Councilmember
Petruzzi said we need to be more attentive to the business
community and make it easier for people to open their
businesses here in Edmonds.
Councilmember Petruzzi referenced a position paper included
in Council packets from the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce.
Councilmember Petruzzi read the complete statement into the
record. Suggested changes the Chamber is recommending -
includes: The city should prepare a one page outline which
summarized everything that needs to be done to start a new
business or improve property in Edmonds; No ADB approval
should be required for any project that does not otherwise
require a permit; if a project has a value under $50,000 and
involves no variances, it must be reviewed by the ADB within
two weeks of submission to the building and planning
Department's; the ability of a citizen to make a "frivolous"
appeal should be limited; ADB decisions must be based on
some predetermined criteria; require that permits be issued
within two days of ADB approval o two weeks of submission to
the building department; and allow more than one city
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 7, 1994
Page 12
employee in each department to sign off on permit
applications.
Mayor Hall referenced a letter written by Bjorn Thuesen,
Developer and resident of Edmonds.
Included in the agendamemo was a memorandum from Planning
Manager Rob Chave. Mr. Chave said many of the suggested
changes are workable, and some would be difficult.
The issue was discussed at length. Councilmember Petruzzi
said he would like Staff to work on these issues outside of
the GMA process so it could be moved ahead swiftly.
Councilmember Petruzzi said the goal is to make the city
user friendly for new businesses, so they can locate here
more readily.
Mr. Chave said he will work on this and come back to the
City Council at the June 28th Council Meeting.
REPORT ON OXFORD HOUSE LITIGATION
City Attorney Scott Snyder, for the benefit of the public,
Ov gave a complete review of the process to date regarding this
litigation. If anyone wishes to review this information, it
can be found on the taped recording located in the City
Clerk's office.
DISCUSSION ON TELEVISING CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS
,Councilmember Hall introduced the subject. Councilmember
�Ol
Hall said Edmonds Community College has agreed to tape each
C� meeting of the City Council for $100 per meeting.
Councilmember Hall said the taping would be for an interim
0�""6
jq period of 90 days, and Chambers Cable would televise the
�� meetings at no charge to the city. Councilmember Hall said
he would like to take the funds from the money budgeted for
a City-wide newsletter.
As there was some discomfort from Councilmembers regarding
the funding source, it was decided to instead, take the
funds from the Council Contingency Fund. Councilmember
Fahey said she is still very much interested in producing
one city-wide newsletter before the end of the year.
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 7, 1994
Page 13
Mayor Hall said it may be difficult for staff to produce the
newsletter, as the City is already understaffed.
Under Council discussion, Councilmember Earling said there
may not be any value to televising the committee work
meetings, especially if the Council decides to meet as in
the past, which is in three different groups. Councilmember
Hall said that can be discussed if and when it happens.
Councilmember Hall believes that all Council meetings should
be televised.
Mayor Hall agreed that the meetings should be taped and said
many other cities already do this on a routine basis.
Councilmember Dwyer said he does not favor televising of the
meetings as he believes there is no demand for it.
Councilmember Dwyer said he has a concern that citizens
won't so readily come to the podium to discuss their
concerns if they know they will be televised.
Councilmember Fahey said she has talked to citizens and has
received a favorable response to televising the meetings.
Councilmember Kasper said he has heard no interest from the
community in having the meetings taped. Councilmember
Kasper, said, however he is in favor of having hearings
taped and be expanded upon from there. Council President
Pro Tem Kasper said he doesn't believe work meetings should
be taped. Council President Pro Tem Kasper said he not
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 7, 1994
Page 14
against televising meetings per say, but believes it will
drive people away from the good subjects.
Councilmember Earling asked if Councilmember Kasper would be
in favor of going ahead with this on a trial basis excluding
the committee night taping. Council President Pro Tem Kasper
said yes and said Council President Nordquist has the same
opinion he has.
CALL FOR THE QUESTION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WAS
REQUESTED. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS REQUESTED ON THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENT. TIE VOTE WITH COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, COUNCILMEMBER
HALL, AND COUNCILMEMBER FAHEY VOTING NO ON THE AMENDMENT,

COUNCIL
Council President Pro Tem Kasper said the Engineering
Department should handle and address letter from a citizen
regarding a walkway on 9th Avenue.
Councilmember Petruzzi said he would like to participate in
the 4th of July parade with fellow Councilmembers.
Councilmember Petruzzi said for about a year and a half, he
has been looking into the possibility of having some
discussion with the world's largest wastewater company.
Councilmember Petruzzi said he has talked with Bill
Wordwahl of DSG and would like for him to address the
Council at the July 26th Work Meeting. Councilmember
Petruzzi said they claim they can save the City a minimum of
100.
Mayor Hall said Bill Wordwahl has been coveting our
Treatment Plant because it is brand new. Mayor Hall said it
bA; is a different story when it starts deteriorating. Mayor
Hall suggested Councilmember Petruzzi talk with Bob Alberts
and Paul Mar regarding this issue.
