APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF JUNE 3 [ALSO ITEM (B) ON CONSENT AGENDA]
Councilmember Kasper inquired if comments which were made after the motion to uphold the appeal
regarding the Hearing on Appeal of Hearing Examiner Decision regarding Proposed 96 Unit Elderly
Housing Project, Conditional Use Permit for Grading and .Variance for Building Height at 348 - 406
3rd Ave. S. (CU-6-86 and V-4-86/Charles Morgan; Appellants: Williamson, Grace, Tupper, Crawford,
Wickstrom, and Lombardi) are part of the record. City Attorney Scott Snyder said they will he
part of the record on appeal. He said if he wished to have 'them included in the minutes, he
could do so by a motion. Councilmember Kasper said the minutes did not reflect that Mayor Naught -
en closed the public hearing. Mr. Snyder said tie will direct the reporter to include his com-
ments when the transcript is prepared. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
WILSON, TO APPROVE THE JUNE 3, 1986 MINUTES WITH THE STIPULATION THAT THE COMMENTS HE REFERRED TO
AFTER THE MOTION AS INCLUDED IN THE MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER HALL ABSTAINING
BECAUSE SHE DID NOT ATTEND THE JUNE 3 MEETING. The statements in the first paragraph after the
motion carried on page 10 were requested by Councilmember Kasper to be added: "Councilmember
Kasper said he disagreed with the woman who stated that every City will have retirement homes
because, he said, everyone has a right to live in a retirement home. Basic economics, he said,
dictate that there is a necessity for certain items, and there is a need in the City of Edmonds
for retirement homes. He said that disallowing retirement homes places a burden on elderly peo-
ple who cannot afford to buy expensive units. The City will create a monster if it does not
allow at least a reasonable number of alternatives to low-income housing. He said he felt the
City discriminates when it defines low-income housing as set forth by HUD because Edmonds is an
affluent city which is unable to provide for even the moderate income without reducing the densi-
ty„
PROPOSED RESOLUTION 644 REFERRING THE VACATION OF A PORTION OF 6TH AVE. S. TO HEARING EXAMINER
ITEM J N THE CONSENT AGENDA
Councilmember Kasper said tie is unsure whether his employer has an interest in the property which
will be removed from the street map because it has not been identified. Community Services Direc-
tor Peter Hahn said his employer does bear an interest. Councilmember Kasper said he would ab-
stain from voting on this item. Mr. Hahn said the property is located in an area called the
Willow Creek Condominiums and development. COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
HALL, TO APPROVE ITEM (J). Councilmember Jaech inquired if removing a portion of 6th Ave. S.
will affect the widening of 7th Avenue or relate to Elm Street. Mr. Hahn replied negatively.
MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER KASPER ABSTAINING.
AUDIENCE
Mayor Naughten opened the audience portion of the meeting. No audience input was offered. Mayor
Naughten closed the audience portion of the meeting.
BRACKETT'S LANDING PROJECT STATUS REPORT
Community Services Director Peter Hahn stated that on September 10, 1985 the Council approved a
revised Brackett's Landing Project concept which included the preservation of a widening option
for the ferry terminal in return for a State payment of $191,000, which was in addition to the
$191,000 the City already has from the IAC, the County, and its own funds. The Staff made a
commitment to the Council that this subject would be reviewed as to the specific implications of
this revised project. A draft of a general agreement between the City and WSDOT has been provid-
ed. It is an incomplete document as the City may wish to add a number of restrictions and condi-
tions on the ferry expansion or on the future use of this parcel.
The revised project depends on a land swap where the City will provide WSDOT with a 40 foot wide
wedge consisting almost entirely of tidelands, and WSDOT will provide the City with a parcel of
equal value and utility somewhere along the waterfront, which is still in question. The land
swap is mandated by the Interagency Coordinating Committee for Outdoor Recreation (IAC).
There will be a direct benefit to the City in a wider terminal. With the present dock -size,
Edmonds is one of the very few terminal facilities where the loading is split between the dock
and City streets. This cuts off the downtown from the waterfront and creates a perennial disrup-
tion to the normal traffic movements. Having a full boat load on the dock will greatly.reduce
the disruption to normal City traffic between the downtown and the waterfront.
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

Added benefits to the City will be the relocation of the jetty 150 feet to the north. This will
enhance the sand accretion and, in essence, create a more sandy beach. The terminal/park edge
will become more usable beach instead of a hard edge with no public usage.
The IAC has been "holding" the City's grant since 1984, and a decision needs to be reached by
July 24 as to which project will be committed to design. Staff. recommends that an agreement
incorproating Council conditions be brought back for Council approval at the earliest opportuni-
ty in July.
Lee Johnson, design consultant, referred to illustrations of the proposed ferry terminal configu-
rations which were posted to the wall and designated as Plan "A" and Plan "B".
Currently, the beach width from the existing bulkhead to the tip of the jetty is approximately
380 feet. Plan "B" proposes to move the jetty by approximately 150 feet to the north, and the
beach area would be improved by adding more material, raising the beach, and protecting it with
drift sills at both ends. Eighty feet of the additional width would be removed to extend the
terminal 40 feet to provide more lanes of traffic storage, leaving a net of 70 feet. This will
increase the amount of upland area for recreational purposes. Drift sills are underwater mounds
made up of rocks which will reduce and restrict the amount of sand which tends to drift away from
the beach.
Mr. Johnson said at the present time the elevation of the beach is 12-13 feet at.maximum tide.
Plan "B' would provide approximately one half acre more. This area could be utilized for picnick-
ing and beach use even at high tide. The upland area will provide 60-70% more of usable public
space.
Mr. Johnson referred to Plan "A", which depicts the ferry terminal as it presently exists. He
said the existing jetty consists of large concrete slabs, boulders, and miscellaneous debris, and
the jetty cannot be utilized in its present state. The jetty would have to be removed and piled
in properly to insure that any fill installed would be stable. The DOT has agreed to allow ac-
cess along the fill and provide another 12 feet of width which would serve as a vista point that
Would be available to the public.
Plan "B" will provide a picnic area, handicapped parking, and additional parking with a turn-
around and accessibility for patrol vehicles.
Councilmember Kasper inquired how much additional area the rock would utilize. Mr. Johnson said
the slope would be 2:1 and the elevation less than 20 feet, which is 40 feet or less. Councilmem-
ber Kasper required why rock is proposed instead of sheet pile. Mr. Johnson said not only is
rock less expensive, but it provides a better marine habitat for native and migratory fish.
Councilmember Wilson asked Mr. Johnson to expand on the beach benefit to the north of the new
jetty. Mr. Johnson said the area near the rock protection system will be filled with additional
beach material, which will provide more upland area and increase the beach area. Councilmember
Wilson inquired if this additional beach area is included in the 60-70% of increased usable pub-
lic space. Mr. Johnson replied negatively.
Councilmember Hall inquired if Plan "B" would violate the proposal presented by Wolf Bauer.
Mr. Johnson replied negatively. He said he has worked with Mr. Bauer in designing the propos
al. Councilmember Hall said she was concerned that rubble was proposed to be installed. Mr.
Johnson said rubble would only be installed to protect the point against wave action. Councilmem-
ber Hall inquired if the rubble would be installed in the 40 foot extension. Mr. Johnson replied
negatively. Mr. Hahn said when Councilmember Hall was on the selection committee, a different
material was proposed for the existing jetty. Plan "B", he said, proposes a new jetty. Parks &
Recreation Manager Steve Simpson said the material would be armor rock which would be placed in a
pattern and presented,as a smooth surface, unlike the rock on the breakwater. Mr. Johnson said
that pedestrian access will be provided which will lead through the tidal pools.
Mayor Naughten inquired if access will be provided for skin divers. Mr. Johnson said one access
point may be provided off the end of the jetty. However, a definite access plan has not been
devised to provide better access than what the beach already affords.
Councilmember Kasper inquired if there are assurances that sand buildup will continue on both
beaches. Mr. Johnson said the beach is stable as it presently exists because it tends to move
back and forth. '

Don Nutter, State Ferry System representative, Bellevue, said Edmonds is the only terminal facili-
ty where the loading is split between the dock and City streets. Because the terminal cannot
accommodate a full boat load on the dock, preferential movement is necessary when the ballast of
the boat load is brought onto the dock. If a full load can be accommodated, the ticketing booths
will be relocated to the entrance of the dock, and the vehicles will be processed as they
arrive. Preferential processing, he said, would be eliminated which, in turn, would lessen the
impact that the ferry traffic has on circulation.
Mr. Nutter said the DOT is supportive of the proposed agreement. It prefers to expand the termi-
nal to the north because it allows the retainage of straight exit lanes. Expansion of the termi-
nal would allow the super ferries to accommodate a full boat load (160 cars).
He said the proposal will eventually contain an auxiliary slip which would allow routine mainte-
nance, overnight moorage, and more flexibility in operation of the route.
Mr. Nutter said the proposed agreement includes the land swap, and requires the State to contrib-
ute to the difference in cost between Plan "A" and Plan "B". The State is asking that the City
support the future expansion of the auxiliary slip.
Councilmember Jaech inquired what additional square footage would be provided with the expansion
of the dock. Mr. Nutter replied 40x3OO feet. Councilmember Jaech inquired if the State, under
the proposed agreement, will forfeit the existing holding lanes and no longer utilize them. Mr.
Nutter said he cannot respond to that question. However, he said expansion of the terminal will
reduce or eliminate the need for the split holding lanes, but there will still be overflows which
have to be accommodated in some manner. Councilmember Jaech commented that the City was told
that the extra slip that was built for the Port Townsend ferry would be open and utilized on
holidays and heavy traffic situations, but it was not open on Memorial Day. Mr. Nutter said it
understandingwas his was ectin
the cars into thalane. ha The tState thas employed an addit onaliuniformedsoffice r to try tordirect
traffic into that lane effectively.
Councilmember Hall inquired where tickets could be purchased for the Kingston ferry under the
proposed agreement. Mr. Nutter said the toll booths will be located right before you board the
dock.
Councilmember Wilson inquired what the capacity of the new dock will be. Mr. Nutter said a super
ferry can accommodate 160 vehicles. Councilmember Wilson asked what the capacity is of the exist-
ing holding lanes. Mr. Nutter replied between 60-70 vehicles.
Councilmember Jaech inquired if the parcel of land which the State may give to the City in return
for a 40 foot wide wedge is accessible with adequate parking. Mr. Nutter replied affirmatively.
Mr. Hahn said the City would require adequate emergency access'to the beach if Plan "B" is imple-
mented.
Councilmember Ostrom inquired what the City's cost will be to implement Plan "B" as opposed to
Plan "A". Mr. Hahn said there will be no additional cost to the City.
Councilmember Jaech inquired if any announced public hearings have been held regarding the widen-
ing of the terminal and the land swap. Mr. Hahn said he did not believe so. He recommended that.
a public hearing be scheduled if an agreement between the City and State is reached. Councilmem-
ber Jaech inquired why the three federal agencies reviewed the City's application in 1984 for the
Corps of Engineer Permit and requested that it be withheld and the project be reviewed. Mr. Hahn
said the original concept before Plan "A" included a higher profile jetty that was more struc-
tured and had more of an environmental impact. The project was not positively received, and
there was some doubt that it would be approved. Councilmember Jaech inquired if the City.will
receive information from the Corps of Engineers regarding the success of a permit and proposed
agreement with the State subsequent to a public hearing. Mr. Hahn said he doubted that informa-
tion would be received at that time because corps permits take longer. Mr. Hahn suggested that
the first or third meeting in July be scheduled for the presentation of Staff recommendations
because the IAC needs a decision by July 24.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED,.SECONDED. BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, THAT THE COUNCIL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
STAFF'S EFFORTS ON THE BRACKETT'S LANDING PROJECT EXPANSION AND INSTRUCT STAFF AND THE CITY ATTOR-
NEY TO PROCEED WITH THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT THAT WILL BRING THE PROJECT TO FRUITION; THE

FACILITY SHOULD REMAIN OPEN AIR WITH NO FLAGRANT SOLID CONSTRUCTION ABOVE DECK AND NO COMMERCIAL
FACILITIES BE ALLOWED; PROPER EMERGENCY ACCESS BE PROVIDED.
Councilmember Kasper inquired if the 40 feet with the rockery will be easement. If so, he in-
quired why the entire 80 feet will not be easement. Mr. Hahn said the State would prefer that
the 19,000 square feet of land that they may purchase for $191,000 belong to the State.
Councilmember Kasper said the City has been an interested party to date but not a direct party,
and he would like to discuss this matter with the City Attorney.. He said he felt the City should
become involved as a direct party.
Councilmember Jaech inquired if the "other 40 feet" is an easement. Mr. Johnson said the proper-
ty line is not parallel to the bulk head. The 40 feet would include some of the property that is
now part of the terminal. Bob Gardner, Lee Johnson & Associates, added that the easement also
defines the line of responsibility for maintaining the property.
Councilmember Ostrom requested that the Council be provided with the existing and proposed ferry
terminal configurations. Mr. Hahn concurred.
Councilmember Hall requested the wording of the motion. Councilmember Wilson read the motion
into the record.
MOTION CARRIED.
Council President Hall recommended that the hearing be scheduled on July 15. COUNCILMEMBER KAS-
PER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO SET THE HEARING FOR JULY 15 AND CLOSE THE AGENDA
SUBSEQUENT TO THE HEARINGS PREVIOUSLY SET ON THAT DATE. MOTION CARRIED.
REVIEW EXISTING VEHICLE INVENTORY/USE
Community Services Director Peter Hahn said the Administrative Services Committee discussed the
City's vehicle usage and inventory at its May meeting. Provided in the Council. packet was the
utilization report on the equipment.
Councilmember Jaech said Councilmembers make inquiries when Staff requests approval of additional
equipment so the Administrative Services Committee requested a breakdown of inventory by division
and department. A representative from each department attended the meeting. The information
elicited at the meeting has been provided to the Council.
Councilmember Kasper noted that the Committee report reflects that the Police Department has
three Impalas, but the Police Department report reflects that they have seven. Mr. Hahn said the
list was not updated, and the Department has seven Impalas.
DISCUSSION OF PROJECT CHANGE ORDER POLICY
Community Services Director Peter Hahn reported that one .of the earliest problem areas identified
by him in the Engineering Division was project budgeting and accounting and project tracking. A
specific task of the new City Engineer was to implement various improvements aimed at better
accountability, meticulous budgeting, and a clearer policy of informing Council on significant
changes in either project scope or project budget. Change orders will require Mayoral approval,
and the Council will participate in approving significant costs and project budgets. A contingen-
cy amount will be included when a project budget is set in anticipation of unforeseen events.
Mr. Hahn said he was concerned about revealing the contingency. amount and project amount to pro-
spective bidders because it may influence the bid amount. He said the contingency amount is
customarily set after bids are opened and a Tow bidder is selected.
Mr. Hahn said there have been times when fie was unable to attend committee meetings because they
overlap. He requested that the Council take this into consideration when scheduling important
issues.
Councilmember Hall inquired if every change order will be presented to the Council: Mr. Hahn
said change orders will go through the Mayor, and threshholds will be set as the Council becomes
confident in Staff's discretion.

City Engineer Bob Alberts said project summary updates will be provided to the Council as a rou-
tine basis for the Community Services meetings. If the Council has inquiries regarding a particu-
lar issue, they can flag their concerns.
DISCUSSION ON REVISED SEWER RATE QUESTIONNAIRE
Community Services Director Peter Hahn said the Council had a number of suggestions on improving
the questionnaire at its June 10 meeting. Staff has provided a revised packet which includes
residential and commercial questionnaires and.a separate background information sheet. The site
selection question has been revised as follows: "This will probably be the only opportunity. the
City will ever have to relocate the present sewer treatment plant on 2nd.and Dayton".
Councilmember Jaech commented that the majority of people will not read a letter that they've
received in the mail. She suggested that the letter be condensed and include only .pertinent
information; that the background history be excluded; the caption of the letter read: "SECONDARY
SEWER TREATMENT FACILITY COSTS YOU MONEY". Mayor Naughten said the City wanted to .stress that
secondary treatment is mandatory. Councilmember Jaech said the first question implies that rates
will only be raised between now and 1991. She recommended that the phrase "to support the con-
struction costs of secondary sewer treatment" be added to the end of the question. She said she
hoped people understood that the rate increase will continue through the end of the bond period.
Mr. Hahn said the table can be revised to reflect the increase will continue from 1991 through
2,008. Councilmember Jaech recommended that the letter bear the Mayor's and Council's signatures.
MAYOR
Mayor Naughten reported that the Beach Dance held on May 30th was a tremendous success. Approxi-
mately 1,000 students attended, and no problems were encountered.
Mayor Naughten noted that a resolution commending Dr. Claris Hyatt of the Snohomish County Health
District has been approved this evening.
Councilmember Kasper left the meeting at 8:20 p.m. to attend a Library Board meeting.
The Mayor reported that five visitors from Moscow were in Edmonds for the World Peace Mission.
Mayor Naughten said that the property on 84th is being investigated for removal of junk cars.
Mayor Naughten noted that the official population of the City of Edmonds has increased to 28,060.
COUNCIL
Council President Hall inquired if the attorney costs in the Staff minutes refers to retainer
fees. City Attorney Scott Snyder said most of the costs for retainer fees will be expended dur-
ing the month of June due to the Hanchett hearing. He said he had inquired if any Staff needs
could be delayed until the next month.
Council President Hall said she and Councilmember Wilson selected an art piece on June 15 from
the Edmonds Arts Festival. Councilmember Wilson said the piece was priced at $500, but they
purchased it for $300. Council President Hall said Linda Goodrick facilitated them in their
selection.
Council President Hall thanked the Mayor for extending his appreciation regarding the Code En-
forcement position.
Council President Hall reminded the Council of the grand reopening of Yost Pool on June 24 at 6
p.m. and the 8:30 dinner meeting.
Council President Hall noted that Resolution 645 has been provided to the Council by the City
Attorney regarding the Council Secretary. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
NORDQUIST, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 645 REQUESTING THE ASSISTANCE OF THE AWC IN LOBBYING THE WASH-
INGTON STATE LEGISLATURE REGARDING THE AMENDMENT OF RCW CHAPTER 3.5A TO PERMIT EMPLOYMENT OF
LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANTS AND OTHER STAFF PERSONS DIRECTED BY CITY COUNCILS OF ALTERNATIVE CODE
CITIES. MOTION CARRIED.
Council President Hall inquired who generated CU.-6-86 to be placed on the July 15 agenda. .City
Clerk Jackie Parrett said that item was placed on the agenda at the .June 10 Council meeting by
the Councilmembers. Councilmember Ostrom said the agenda should reflect that discussions will
encompass the Conditional Use Permit for excavation only. Mr. Snyder said he requested the City
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 6 JUNE 16, 1986
Clerk to advertise the item with broader language than just a CU because the discussions may
encompass, a broader field. Councilmember Jaech said when the motion was made to schedule the
hearing for July 15, she requested that the notice reflect that the Conditional Use Permit would
be the only topic for discussion. Mr. Snyder said the notice was worded as such to allow the
Council to discuss a broader scope if it desired. Ms. Parrett said she included an explanatory
note so people would not think the hearing is being continued.
Councilmember Jaech noted that she has received two notices of the CU-22-86 Hearing Examiner
hearing scheduled on June 19. One notice says it will be held `in the Community Services Confer-
ence Room, and the other one says it will be held at 650 Main Street. Ms. Parrett said she be-
lieved the Planning Department scheduled it for the Plaza room and then discovered it could not
be held there because of the Arts Festival. She believed they subsequently rescheduled it at
another location and sent out new notices. Mr. Hahn said he would investigate the matter.
Councilmember Jaech said the Council received a letter from Ralph Robinson requesting access to
the beach at Ocean Ave. She suggested that Mr. Robinson be sent a letter explaining that that
beach is private property, and the Council cannot grant him access.
City Attorney Scott Snyder announced that the City's Public Defender had a.baby. The contract
states that her services cannot be assigned without Council approval. Mr. Snyder said because
the Snohomish County Public Defender's office will charge a fee three times the amount of the
present .contract, he is recommending that a person from the City's Public Defender's husband's
office provide the services under her direction. The alternative, he said, would be to rebid,
but it will be difficult to find someone for such a short period of time. Councilmember Dwyer
inquired if the person from the Defender's husband's office will assume the contract at the same
rate. Mr. Snyder replied affirmatively. He recommended that the Council approve assignment of
the contract with a motion for a limited period of time. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO APPROVE ASSIGNMENT OF THE CITY'S PUBLIC DEFENDER'S DUTIES BY LINDA
ANTONIK. Councilmember Dwyer added that he is familiar with.this firm, and they are competent.
MOTION CARRIED.
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
