Waterfront Park Associates, Inc. / File No. AP-95-109 / Applicant/Appellee: City of
Edmonds Park and Recreation Division)
PRESENTATION ON JUVENILE ARRESTSLYOUTH SERVICE BURE
Police Chief Tom Miller explained the creation of a Youth Services Bureau for 1996, 1997 and 1998
resulted from concern expressed by the Council and the Police Department when reviewing the 1995
crime statistics and the growth in juvenile arrests and youth crime. Sgt. Blackburn was asked to develop
a model program to address juvenile crime and youth arrests and how it might be impacted by education.
Stevens Hospital has agreed to create a partnership with the City, in addition to the City's existing
partnerships with Edmonds School District and Aurora Toyota, for the current D.A.R.E. program, and to
enhance and expand the program to the middle schools.
Police Sgt. Michael Blackburn, assigned to the D.A.R.E. unit, explained the proposal addresses the
alarming increase in juvenile arrests in 1995 (a 5 1 % increase) as well as increase the Police Departrnent's
commitment in the schools. He noted there is currently a full-time officer working with the elementary
schools and another in the high schools, but manpower has not been available to staff the middle schools.
It is desired to present a follow-up D.A.R.E. program as well as provide resource materials to the middle
school students. Expanding the D.A.R.E. program into a Youth Services Bureau would allow direct
supervision, offer an expanded parent program, and handle. other miscellaneous education
responsibilities such as school patrol, youth crime Watch and bicycle safety. He recognized Barbara Earl,
Stevens Health Care, Dr. Foley and Rich Alseth, Principal and Vice -Principal at College Place Middle
School, Claudia Buckner, Principal at Maplewood School, Tim Blair, student at Holy Rosary, and Tara
Ortez and her mother, a former student, who come in support of the Youth Services Program. Sgt.
Blackburn explained the creation of the Youth Services Bureau will add one Sergeant who will handle
supervisory responsibilities as well as educational responsibilities in the middle schools. He described

the Youth Crime Watch Program that Officer Bonallo is studying and explained the D.A.R.E. program
has also been modernized to include emphasis on violence—D.A.R.E. now means Dare to Resist Drugs
and Violence.
Council President Earling observed the program is entirely funded for the remainder of 1996 and asked
for clarification of funding in 1997 and 1998. Sgt. Blackburn explained the funding for the remainder of
1996 is provided by grants. One-half of 1997 and 1998 will also be funded by grants, the other half will
be funded by the City of Edmonds. Police Chief Miller advised they are exploring other possible
partners; a major corporation has inquired about assisting with the City's commitment in 1997 and 1-998.
He pointed out the funding could be 100% from the City in the years following 1998, depending on the
commitment by the partnerships.
Council President Earling indicated he supported the program but wanted to bring to the Council's
attention that the City may be required to totally fund the program at some point, which could be $60,000
- $70,000 if adequate partnerships are not available. Police Chief Miller advised there will be anannual
review of pre- and post -data information to determine the impact and success of the program.
Councilmember Myers favored the extension of the program to middle schools as there are many at -risk
youth at the middle school level.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke thanked Police Chief Miller for his work on the police -force as well as in
the community. He requested the Council be kept informed of any funding difficulties to enable the
Council and/or citizens to seek other funding sources in the community.
COUNCIL PRESENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMENMER PETRUZZI, To
APPROVE THE RECOMMENDED ACTION WITH THE PROVISO THAT THIS POSITION
AND THE PROGRAM BE REVIEWED EACH YEAR. MOTION CARRIED.
tooY 4. PRESENTATION BY DIRECTOR OF SOUTH COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Approximately 75-100 high level delegates from around the world, will be invited to visit Snohomish
.,County in a reverse trade mission. The three main sectors featured will be electronic manufacturing,
medical instruments, and aerospace. She described the two day forum, noting their goal is to make this a
regional event in the future. The City of Lynnwood is the principle sponsor as the event will be held at
the Embassy Suites but all cities within the County are being asked to promote the event as well as
become co-sponsors.
Councilmember Petruzzi described the benefits to the City for their $1,500 co-sponsorship.

Larry Fisher, Regional Coordinator, International Water Sports Organization, sponsor of the
International Water-ski Tour event, explained their non-profit organization has taken on the task,
along with the Water Sports Association, the American Water Ski Association and the Sporting Goods
Manufacturing Association, of creating a national program to introduce the sport of competitive water-
skiing, wake boarding and knee boarding. He noted they have held this event on Green Lake, Seattle,
and Capitol Lake, Olympia, in previous years. This is a participatory event not a spectator event, and
there are no alcohol or tobacco sponsors. The tour uses tournament tow boats which have little effect on
the water and boat refueling will be done out of the water. Only one water-skiing boat will be in the
water at a time, driving a straight course, turning around and returning. A safety boat as well as patrol
boats will also be in the water. Lake Ballinger will remain open to the public. This will be a three day
event one day to set up, and will last approximately 8-9 hours, beginning at 9:00 a.m.
Mayor Fahey asked why Lake Ballinger was chosen for this event. Mr. Fisher answered the primary
goal of the International Water Sports Organization is to introduce the sport of competitive water-skiing,
wake boarding and knee boarding to amateurs and allow the community to be involved.
Councilmember Myers asked how one could sign up to participate. Mr. Fisher advised they could pre -
register at any ski shop or boat dealer or register at the site.
Mountlake Terrace Mayor Gossett explained the Mountlake Terrace Council had not voted
unanimously to approve the tour; the vote was 5 - 2. The reason the majority of the Council voted for
this event, was 1) it is a family event, 2) it will have a small impact; the number of participants and
spectators was estimated to be 200, and 3) it seemed a reasonable way to let more community members
make use of Lake Ballinger. He stressed there is no intent to open Lake Ballinger to water-skiing on a
permanent basis. He noted the positive comments regarding last year's event outweighed negative
comments and their Engineering Department found no changes in the water following tests of the take
before and after the event. Mountlake Terrace will be reimbursed for any costs such as the police
presence. I .
Councilmember White asked why the Pro Tour did not return this year. Mr. Fisher answered that event
was held in an area where a green was being constructed on the Nile Golf Course. The green has now
been completed, thus there is not sufficient space for their spectator event.
Mountlake Terrace Councilman Bergh advised h ' e voted against the event as he wanted the South.
County cities to discuss it prior,to its approval, and it is his belief that the residents in the Lake Ballinger
area do not favor such an event. Mr. Fisher stressed they would not be invited back to the lakes where
annual events have been held if it Was not successful for the community. He explained the entry fee
covers fuel, a professional communication system, etc.; their net profit is often in the red.
Councilmember Nordquist observed there are only two homes on the lake that are in Mountlake Terrace,
the remainder are in Edmonds; however, the park is in Mountlake Terrace.- He expressed concern about
possible contamination of the lake. He urged Mountlake Terrace to keep the'lake pristine, noting this
was a chance for the cities to work together. He pointed out Edmonds has an ordinance prohibiting
internal combustion engines on the lake aswell as a wake ordinance.
(Due to technical difficulties, Mr. Fisher was unable to show a video prepared by Evening Magazine on
the event at Green Lake).

Councilmember Petruzzi asked what problems were encountered with last year's event and what
accommodations have been made for liability insurance. Mountlake Terrace Police Commander
Smith advised there was very few law enforcement problems last year considering the size of the event
and that alcohol was available. There were significant traffic problems on SR 104 due to the
approximately 6,000 people who attended last year's event. Two police officers will be present at the
Saturday/Sunday event. Mountlake Terrace Mayor Gossett advised the International Water Sports
Organization will provide $1 million liability insurance covering Mountlake Terrace and Edmonds.
6. PRESENTATION BY CITY OF LYNNWOOD ON TWO ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS -
OLYMPIC VIEW DRIVE & SR 99
V0.1
fitp
Community Services Director Paul Mar introduced Bill Vlcek, Public Works Director for the City of
Lynnwood. Mayor Fahey recognized Lynnwood Mayor Tina Roberts in the audience.
Bill Vlcek, Public Works Director, Lynnwood, explained the two projects address congestion and
safety on arterials. He noted both projects successfully competed for substantial grant funding. He
thanked Mr. Mar and the City of Edmonds staff for their cooperation.
SR 99 Expansion PLo
-ject
Bob Dixon, Project Coordinator and Project Manager for the SR 99 Expansion Project, City of
Lynnwood, described the location and design features of the 6.7 mile improvement and displayed a
roadway section illustrating the 7 lane roadway (3 travel lanes each direction, center turn lane and curbs,
gutters and sidewalks). Other areas to be addressed are updating traffic signals and storm water
management. The estimated cost of the improvement is $20.8 million. A grant from the Transportation
Improvement Board (TIB) provided $13.45 million and estimated matching funds of $7.43 million will
be required. Edmonds, Lynnwood, and the County's share will vary based on the construction costs in
their jurisdiction. The City of Edmonds' share is estimated at $1.18 million, Community Transit has
agreed to donate $200,000, Boeing mitigation will be $200,000, ISTEA funding is $2.2 million,
Mountlake Terrace donated $65,000 for the lake, Lynnwood's share is estimated to be $2.56 million, and
Snohomish County is estimated to be $.98 million. He described the construction schedule which
anticipates construction to begin in 1997 and continue for three years, possibly four construction seasons.
Council President Earling asked if the Community Transit/Metro study regarding priority signalization
had been included in the project. Mr. Dixon answered the right lane is intended for turning, transition,
and transit. The intent is to make provisions in the signal controls for priority signalization at a future
date.
Councilmember Petruzzi asked if there is a "lock" on TIB funds. Mr. Dixon answered the project is
funded through the design phase. They must then go to the TIB for construction funding; they do not
have a commitment from them at this time. Councilmember Petruzzi asked what the probability of
funding would be. Mr. Vlcek advised the TIB projects that they will be out of money this Fall. Without
additional assistance from the Legislature in 1997, this project as well as others will not receive the
funding required. Mr. Dixon has been asked to contact the TIB to determine if this project is included in
drawing their funds to zero or if it is outside that amount.
Mayor Fahey questioned the safety of a center left turn lane crossing three lanes of traffic. Mr. Dixon
advised there is a section in North Seattle where this currently exists, but he did not have statistics
available regarding accident rates.

Councilmember Myers expressed concern with pedestrian safety. Mr. Dixon advised there would be
crosswalks only at signalized intersections and there would not be a traffic island. Councilmember
Myers expressed concern with additional traffic using secondary roads during construction, noting this
would have a substantial effect on Edmonds.
For Councilmember Haakenson, Mr. Dixon described the attempt to maintain the historical context of
Keeler's Comer which has been approved by the State Historical Preservation Office as well as the
Historical Preservation Council in Denver.
OJympic View Drive
Je ff Elekes, Projec . t Manager, City of Lynnwood, described the improvements for Olympic View
Drive from 76th Avenue to 168th Street. The arterial widening project is intended to improve transit
usage, provide vehicular safety improvements and encourage alternate modes of transportation such as
pedestrians and bicycles. 'He noted 99 accidents have occurred in this area during the years 1993 - 1995
which is the reason the improvements scored successfully with the TIB. He displayed several
photographs of the existing roadway and a cross section of the proposed roadway which includes a
sidewalk, bicycle path, and travel lane on each side with a center turn lane. 80% of the estimated $2.6
million cost is provided by a UATA grant and local match from their Storm Water Utility and Arterial
Street Fund. He described the current projected project schedule.
Councilmember Haakenson noted bicycle lanes are needed in the Perrinville area and asked if a signal
was planned at 76th. Mr. Elekes replied the traffic count, traffic analysis and signal warrants will be
done as part of the pre -design. The project as developed for the budget, included a signal at 76th and
Olympic View Drive. Councilmember Haakenson suggested signage indicating the ferry location in
Edmonds be included on Olympic View Drive.
Councilmember Myers asked if this project would result in Olympic View Drive being the same width as
168th. Mr. Elekes replied 168th is A five lane roadway, Olympic View Drive will be only a 2 lane
roadway with a center turn lane —this is a safety improvement, not a capacity improvement.
Mr. Vlcek no ' ted the estimates originally submitted for the grant are low, the project may need to be
scaled back depending on the participation ofjurisdictions..
7. ANNUAL REPORT OF EDMONDS SISTER CITY COMMSSIO
Ify _1 Valerie Dickison, Vice Chair of Edmonds Sister City Commission, indicated the CommissioWs report
is available to citizens at the library and at City Hall. She described her observations while serving on
the Commission and described their programs. She recognized the efforts of past and present
Commissioners and indicated they would welcome any new volunteers. She thanked Parks and
Recreation Manager Arvilla Ohlde and her assistant, Renee Lorkowski, as well as the Council, for their
support.
Parks and Recreation Manager Arvilla Ohlde described events and programs planned for Hekinan
Week, July 21-26. The representative from the Hekinan Sister City, Keiko Sakakibara, will also be
attending. She circulated a book sent from the Aichi Prefecture at the World Park Festival illustrating
artwork submitted by cities participating in the festival, and presented appreciation cards to the 21
children who submitted artwork to represent Edmonds.

doD to& 8 RECOMMENDATION TO AMEND PURCHASING POLICY
to
Councilmember Nordquist, Finance Committee Chair, said a recommendation to amend the purchasing
policy came to the Finance Committee from Public Works Superintendent Noel Miller. He commended
Administrative Services Director Housler for the liaison work done on the recommendation. In the past,
some purchase requests were made with the consideration for a bid bond which was very cumbersome.
He described the amendments which include revising the current purchasing chart amounts by doubling
the 'amounts in each category, require a bid bond for all capital purchases over $20,000, use of a bid
tabulation sheet, and use of a statement of a bidder's qualifications. The Finance Committee
recommends adoption of the changes in policy.
COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMMER VAN
HOLLEBEKM, TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND
AMEND PURCHASING POLICIES AS RECOMMENDED. MOTION CARRIED.
9. CONSIDERATION OF ARTS FESTIVAL ART WORK PURCHASE
Parks and'Recreation Manager Arvilla Ohlde advised the Arts Commission has recommended the
purchase of a public art piece by the Council and the Mayor from the Edmonds Art Festival be
discontinued. The purchase was an historical procedure developed when the Festival was created as an
honorary procedure by the Council, prior to the creation of the Arts Commission and a selection process.
Council President Earling stated his understanding was the Edmonds Arts Festival and Museum Board
also agreed with the recommendation. Ms. Ohlde explained they want to honor the fact that the City
Council and Mayor want to commend the Festival as a major community event. 1,
Council President Earling noted the recommendation includes a suggestion that funds be set aside for a
future art purchase. Ms. Ohlde advised the Finance Committee recommended the $500 funding from the
Mayor and $500 from the City Council be placed in an art purchase line item in the Arts Commission
budget to allow a purchase of substantial significance. The Arts Commission now has a portable
collection they relocate in areas around the City. In the future, they would like to place art pieces into
new public buildings that have been selected specifically for each location that could be lighted and
signed correctly.
Council President Earling asked if any thought had been given to developing a policy to better guide the
City in collecting art in a particular theme. Ms. Ohlde responded that art in a particular theme does not
allow a diverse collection. The Arts Commission wants to look at collection Pieces or pieces that
compliment the direction of the City.
Council President Earling viewed the Council and Mayor's purchases each year As an on -going
commitment to artists in the community and an accumulation of funds would not allow the focus on
individual artists. Ms. Ohlde stated the goals and desires of the City can be achieved by the Cultural Arts
Plan. Recognition of artists can be met in ways other than selection of an art piece by th: e Council and
Mayor.
Councilmember Petruzzi suggested a monetary award could be made from the Mayor and Council in
appreciation of an artists efforts during the art festival.

items require Councilmembers to take the lead with staff. Next week's meeting will be held at 6:00 p.m.
in the Community Services Building conference room.'
8got-111-r Councilmember Nordquist referred to the Health District! s monthly report, noting the increase in'
visfAlr. tuberculosis among refugees and immigrants. He pointed out tracking the often numerous contacts an

JA Councilmember White reported the Board investigating the feasibility of a Visual and Performing Arts
00541 and Commerce Center for South Snohomish County has retained a consulting firm to investigate the
feasibility of the proposed center. He advised he will provide an outline of the dates of upcoming public
forums at an upcoming Council meeting.
Councilmember Petruzzi reiterated in his last report, the SnoCom and Medic 7 Boards received
information that Fire District I and 11 were discussing adjoining their mutual organization and the
possibility of elimination of future funding for SnoCom and Medic 7. It has been determined they will
continue to fund their share of SnoCom but will not participate in the Medic 7 program after December
31, 1996. He explained Edmonds share of the current $1,314,978 budget would increase from $299,000
to $468,000 (using the 1996 budget figures), if no funds are available from Fire District #1 in January
1997. Mayor Fahey will be attending a meeting called by Lynnwood Mayor Tina Roberts. He advised
he would provide a further report following the Medic 7 Board meeting.
Councilmember Myers advised the Health Board discussed long term financing and establishing their
priorities at their recent retreat. They have determined one priority should be supplying vaccines to the
community. The Health Board anticipates a reduction in funding and is looking for ways to maintain
their services.

everyone to visit the Port as changes have occurred.

meter pool continues and urged the Council to support an upcoming agenda item requesting approval to
tour a comparable site in Boise.
Student Representative Zitzmann felt the D.A.R.E pro gram had not had a visible effect on him or his
classmates. He urged the Council to consider the lack of activities for youth in the City which may
encourage youth to join gangs. He suggested the Council consider a previous proposal for a roller
skating rink in the City.
Mayor Fahey advised the City is considering a skateboard facility in the City. The proposal for the roller
skating rink was made by youth in the community for use of private property which the Council had no
control over. She noted Ms. Ohlde continues to look for programs for youth and complimented Mr.
Zitzmann for taking advantage of programs available for youth.
