One of the major concerns of the Environment Health Committee of the Health District Board is with vactor grit —heavy metals and petroleum products found in the materials swept from the streets and disposal of this material. As City staff was not active in the hearings held to study this issue, he wanted to be certain the City had the most current information on construction of a facility to handle vactor grit.

Personnel Manager Brent Hunter reported all Directors and Managers received a 4.2% increase, except the Administrative Services Director, the two Assistant Police Chiefs, and one Assistant Fire Chief who would receive a 7.6% increase. City Council Approved Minutes January 23, 1996 Page 2 Councilmernber Petruzzi said he was in general approval of the way he thought this came out of the Salary Committee; however, he did not agree with the final resolution and would vote no on the ordinance. He felt the Comprehensive Salary Review should be a priority for this year. I COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE, FOR PASSAGE OF AGENDA ITEM H.

ORDINANCE 3065 REENACTING THE EDMONDS INTERIM CRITICAL AREAS ORDINANCE DAR, .300 FOR SIX MONTHS e ,#td, A3 City Attorney Scott Snyder stated that the City has twice before enacted and extended a Critical Areas 140 Ordinance which is allowed under the Growth Management Act by either an Interim ordinance or moratorium. The Planning Board has not completed their work on a final ordinance. He stated the Interim Ordinance was the same as had been in effect for approximately 18 months. City Council Approved Minutes January 23, 1996 Page 3 COUNCILMEMBER MYERS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE, TO EXTEND THE INTERIM CRITICAL AREAS ORDINANCE. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Snyder explained that a public hearing would be held at a later date which is one of the requirements of either an interim ordinance or a moratorium. 6. RESOLUTION NO.835 DESIGNATING THE EDMONDS FIRE CHIEF AS THE APPLICANT V3� AGENT FOR OBTAINING FEDERAL EMERGENCY AND/OR DISASTER ASSISTANCE 1?9_11P FUNDS Mayor Fahey explained that the City is entitled to reimbursement for expenditures for the "non -storm" of December 13, 1995 which requires designation of an agent. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MYERS, TO AUTHORIZE CHIEF MICHAEL SPRINGER AS THE CITY'S AGENT IN THE DAMAGE CLAIMS REQUEST. MOTION CARRIED. 7. AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN AGREEMENT FOR CONFLICTS PANEL LEGAL SERVICE ?,4061, Mayor Fahey explained that City Attorney Scott Snyder is unable to represent the City as legal council as he would be placed in the role of a witness in an upcoming hearing. Therefore, it is necessary for the City to hire additional legal services. Councilmember Petruzzi commented on the incorrect information circulating among citizens regarding a conflict last year. He noted conflicts are customary and ordinary and indicates law firms are being careful to represent the City and its interests in the very best light. COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY MYERS, TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT FOR CONFLICTS PANEL LEGAL SERVICES. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Scott Snyder thanked Councilmember Petruzzi for his comments. Mr. Snyder clarified, in this situation, he testified at an earlier hearing when representing staff and assisting them and cannot, under the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine, advise the City Council fairly if he is also assisting in the presentation of the case. 8. UPDATE ON THE COMMUNITY CULTURAL PLAN Cultural Resources Coordinator Christine Weed, distributed a review of the Community Cultural fkA Plan goals and accomplishments and explained that the dollar figure in the right column represents new revenue generated as a result of the activities, contributions for outside the community, and a variety of monetary exchanges. She clarified that this was an informal update on the Community Cultural Plan,and the -Arts Commission would make their annual report to the Council in March. This informal presentation was to present a comprehensive picture of the community -wide effort rather than focusing on the Arts Commission's contributions. She noted that the Community Cultural Plan describes the partnership between the City and the community and outlines short and long term strategies for community arts development. The Plan recognizes that artists and art groups represent both cultural and economic resources for the City. The inclusion of the Cultural Plan into the Comprehensive Plan was a big commitment toward development of the arts in the community. She highlighted accomplishments City Council Approved Minutes January 23, 1996 Page 4 during 1995 such as obtaining an Arts Page in the Edmonds newspaper, the Edmonds in Bloom Competition, and Beaux Arts Ball. The focus for 1996 will be on long term issues of infrastructure and facilities development, and as it is felt that without addressing those items, the full potential will not be realized. The Commission will be taking action on board training and resource development and work with organizations on how to bring more resources to the community. In addition, they will be working with the Planning Department to link historic preservation and heritage issues. Student Representative Zitzmann commented that a Community Theater at Edmonds Woodway High School was needed. 9. PRESENTATION BY REGIONAL TRANSIT AUTHORITY Council President Earling, RTA Boardmember, described a hypothetical example the Board has presented for the public to review. He stressed this is only hypothetical example, assembled based on public feedback since the last ballot issue was defeated on March 17, 1995. He announced there would be a Round Table on Monday February 12 at Edmonds Community College from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. in the Trident Union Building. Citizens, community leaders and elected officials are encouraged to provide feedback as well as amendments to the hypothetical example at the Round Table. He explained that the hypothetical example, which was a collaborative effort between staff, public input, and board members, was a starting point to determine how much should be invested in the first Phase, what should be included in the proposal, and where the boundary lines should be drawn. Issues raised by the public after the 1995 election included, 1) a desire for the tax money raised in a local subregion to be kept in that subregion, 2) the plan was too expensive ($6.7 billion), the hypothetical example would cost roughly half that amount (approximately $3.5 billion), and 3) the build out phase of 16 years was too long, the first phase described in the hypothetical example would take ten years to build out. The example tries to enhance some of the investments already made such as HOV lanes and existing tracks for commuter rail. Part of the proposal would be to complete the HOV lanes in Snohomish County; the completion of the I- 5 HOV lanes from 164th north to South Everett is included in the State budget under consideration. However, equally as important is the completion of HOV lanes north of Kirkland and a proposal to advance a portion of the money raised by the RTA to the DOT for completion of the 1-405 HOV lanes is being discussed. The hypothetical example also includes commuter rail from Everett to Tacoma, enhanced access ramps for HOV, regional express bus service, and approximately ten miles of light rail (perhaps from Seattle to the airport or Seattle toward Northgate). In an attempt to be more conservative in its financial assumptions, the hypothetical plan included no funding from the state, and federal funds have been reduced by 50%. He explained the RTA has two chances to pass a plan; if the RTA ballot issue fails a second time, a single county can start their own transit system and the potential for a regional system is lost. The Board plans to develop a draft plan by early March and complete the plan by the end of April. He introduced Sheila DeSarn, RTA staff, Barbara Stenson, communication for Snohomish County, and John Duhurst, Snohomish County Planning, Transportation Specialist on this project. Councilmember Petruzzi asked if there was unanimity on the RTA Board regarding which plan to proceed with. Council President Earling advised that the Boardmembers were all trying to come to agreement. With each subregion raising their own money and keeping that money, individuals tend to want to build their own "transportation kingdom" which loses sight of a regional transit system to benefit the entire region. Councilmember Petruzzi observed that the need for a regional transportation system is evident and said he supported the original plan and would back this one. I City Council Approved Minutes January 23, 1996 Page 5 : 4� , ; , Councilmember Petruzzi noted that there ire more people in King and Pierce Counties and questioned whether Snohomish County would be able to fund its needs if it is limited to its own funds. Council President Earling referred to the graph on page 41 which shows the amount of revenue generated by each of the five subregions. Councilmember Van Hollebeke asked if light rail from Northgate to SeaTac had been considered. Council President Earling explained the challenge with light rail is the cost, $35-45 million per mile. He stressed not much had been done to improve the region's transportation problems since March 17, 1995. He also stated that the plan will be placed on the ballot in the Fall. Councilmember Myers asked if consideration had been given to technological upgrading to ease the purchase of fares. Councilmember Earling said one of the board's high priorities was setting up a one - cost ticket purchase. Council President Earling advised that the RTA Board would be back to the Council once or twice prior to the April board decision. In response to a question from a member of the audience, Council President Earling advised the majority of financial information could be found on pages 41 and 42. He said audience members could contact the RTA at 684-6776 for further information. 10. PRESENTATION BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CONCERNING 3MT TASK FORCE ,fkO 6 Rob Morrison, 250 Beach Place, Edmonds, Chairman 3MT Task Force, explained 3MT stood for 00' Model Multi Modal Terminal. He introduced Don Carr, Chairman of the Economic Development Committee for the Chamber of Commerce. He focused on projects being implemented on the waterfront; ADA improvements as proposed by th ' e ferry terminal and the plan the city is developing associated with South Brackets landing. A safe convenient connection from the ferry terminal, across Railroad Avenue is necessary for pedestrian and bicycle ferry traffic, to provide access to Brackets landing, as well as access for users of commuter rail and to the downtown area. The Chamber of Commerce asked the State Marine Division not to stop the project on the west side of Railroad Way but to provide some type of grade separation. He displayed the engineering drawings developed by Rob Morrison to address this issue. Mr. Carr explained that the difficulty is that the Marine Division stops its plan at the shoreline, the State Highway stops at the highway and the City is left to determine how to deal with parking, safety, economic development, and the continued quality of life for Edmonds residents. He stated that the Chamber was requesting City support to go to the State and request that their project cross Railroad Avenue. In answer to funding, he felt it was important to have it in the plan and address funding later. - Mr. Morrison mentioned that the addition of a second track for commuter rail will create an even greater need for a safety underpass for beach access. Councilmernber Myers asked if a passenger loading area had been considered for pedestrians who are dropped off and/or picked up at the ferry. Mr. Carr answered that the possibility of making Railroad Avenue a one way street and increasing the number of parking spaces there had been discussed with City Engineer Jim Walker. Mr. Morrison pointed out that a shuttle to the downtown area will be necessary when the terminal is moved to Point Edwards. Councilmember Petruzzi asked if the 3MT Task Force had met with Community Services Director Paul Mar. Mr. Morrison stated that Mr. Mar has attended all their meetings but has not spoken for or against any plan. City Council Approved Minutes January 23, 1996 Page 6 Mr. Morrison described the "near term plan" presented to the Council two years ago which they would now like to look at again. The plan accommodates summer visitor parking for the ferry on SR104 and Sunset Avenue with a loading reservation priority for those who wish to visit, shop and eat in Edmonds. Urgent action is required by the City, Washington State Ferries and the Department of Transportation to prepare for implementation in the summer of 1996. In addition, he asked the Mayor and Council to endorse the inclusion of full time, seven day commuter rail in the 1996 RTA plan. Council President Earling recommended this agenda item be moved to the Community Services Committee agenda to provide a better understanding of some issues, particularly the Railroad Avenue crossing. 11. REPORT ON THE GENERAL FUND FINANCIAL POSITION FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,1995 Administrative Services Director Art Housler presented a report on the General Fund Financial position for the year ended December 31, 1995. He compared revenue and expenditure projections provided on November 20 to year-end actuals for each department. The year-end cash carryover of the General Fund was estimated to be $696,000; the actual was $752,160 or $56,160 more than anticipated. He explained this amount was inflated by $8,030 due to billing from the "consultant for housing study" being less than anticipated, therefore expenditures in the Planning Division need to be increased by this amount for 1996. In addition, the late notice from the Sno-Isle Regional Library District that the 1996 charge would be more than originally advised, and the Oxford House late settlement payment, created a difference between the 1995 cash carry over and the 1996 budget beginning cash balance. As a result, the net cash carry over is $25,490. He pointed out that the retail sales tax revenue increased by $229,500 or 9. 1 %. The sales tax revenue from the Aurora Marketplace was estimated to be $120,000, but due to the confidentiality of sales tax records with individual businesses by the State Department of Revenue, the accuracy of the estimate cannot be determined. So, if $120,000 is considered reasonably accurate, there was good growth in sales tax revenues at 4.3%. Councilmember Petruzzi complemented Mr. Housler and his staff for the continued good work from the Finance Department and the excellent reporting manner, which makes the Council's job easier. COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING, THAT THE $25,490 BE TRANSFERRED INTO THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND. MOTION CARRIED. 12. MAYOR Olt" Mayor Fahey noted the Council was provided a final copy of the Long Range Strategic Plan for gre.4 Economic Development. A comprehensive final report meeting for the general public will take place on YX January 31 in the Plaza Room from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. She noted that anyone who participated would receive an invitation and a copy of the report, and that the public was welcome to provide input and could request a report by contacting the Mayor's office. She noted the next step would be the formation of the Edmonds Economic Development Partnership. Mayor Fahey directed attention to the numerous letters received from citizens complimenting the services provided by the police department. She noted a specific letter from Elizabeth Lange, a resident of the recently annexed Aurora Marketplace area, regarding an incident concerning her daughter. Ms. City Council Approved Minutes January 23, 1996 Page 7 I Lange appreciated being a part of the City And complimented the responsiveness of Police Officers Lawless and Blackburn, and the School Officer Bonallo.

He encouraged everyone to attend the Round Table at Edmonds Community College on February 12, 1995. Councilmember Van Hollebeke stated that the Edmonds Economic Development Partnership is progressing. The new board has met to formulate bylaws, etc. and will be meeting again on Friday. The tv Business Recruitment team has been actively recruiting new business into Edmonds. Student Representative Zitzmann commented he has always felt safe at Edmonds Woodway High School and, although he is generally opposed to a Police Officer at the high school, Officer Bonallo is great. Councilmember Nordquist stated that the Snohomish County Health District Board welcomed O'l.fit Councilmember Myers and at a recent meeting honored outgoing members including Michael Hall. He Vowl�-f thanked Mr. Hall for his participation. He said the Health District has a branch office in Lynnwood and Everett and the tobacco usage and the needle exchange programs are continuing. The District has shifted into an educational mode; vactor grit is one of their concerns. He advised he will be serving as Vice Chair of the Board this year. -Councilmember Petruzzi reported on the SnoCom Board and Medic 7 Board.

The Medic 7 Board is working to put the second Medic I I unit on full-time,and that it is now operational only 12 hours per day. He explained there were 138 Unable to Contact calls for the region and 29 for Edmonds in 1995, a 81% increase. Delayed Response calls for the region in 1995 were 167, a 33% increase over 1994, and Edmonds experienced a 54% increase.
