MOTION CARRIED. The agenda item was approved as follows: (F) AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR Services COLLECTION AGENCY SERVICES 3. AUDIENCE Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, Edmonds, expressed his opinion that there was a lack of public participation in Planning Board meetings as indicated by the number of meetings at which the public was not represented. Although the meeting notification may meet legal requirements, he felt it did not adequately describe the purpose of the meeting. This may result in decisions by the Planning Board and recommendations to the City Council without adequate public participation. Further, he questioned whether participation by Councilmembers Van Hollebeke and Mayor Fahey, who serve on the Edmonds Alliance for Economic Development (EAED) violated Appearance of Fairness when discussing the hearing on tonight's agenda. He suggested those involved with the EAED excuse themselves from participation in the hearing. Dave Erickson, 7802 184th Street, Edmonds, distributed statistics regarding diver fatalities in Water Rescue Washington, pointing out Washington had the third highest diver fatality rate of any state as well as any Team other country. He questioned why the police/fire water rescue team was eliminated this year when water resources in the City are used so extensively. He witnessed a recent incident on the ferry dock when a van drove off the end of the dock, noting a rescue could have been attempted if a dive rescue team was available. Crowds on the dock wondered why the Police and Fire Departments were unable to respond. Although civilian divers assisted, they were at the end of their air supply, were not property trained, and had to make emergency assents. He requested the City Council reactivate the Dive Rescue Team using trained professionals and to provide the necessary tools to do the job. Al Rutledge, 7101 Lake Ballinger Way, Edmonds, said if the Fire District was approved, a rescue team would be established at Lake Ballinger. He urged the Council to have water rescue units available to sports respond immediately when necessary. He announced an upcoming Friends of Athletics meeting would Facilities discuss upgrading of cities' sports facilities. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 20, 1997 Page 3 Rich Demeroutis, 921 Pine Street, Edmonds, questioned figures regarding Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provided at the recent Budget Forum and suggested the figures may contain misinformation. He observed the proposed reactivation of the Dive team included only four divers; his .escue Team understanding was fire fighters prefer to man the boat with four divers and one pilot to allow back-up rescue for the first two divers if necessary. He questioned whether the four divers would be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the storage of equipment at the Police Station. He pointed out the rescue boat should be on-call for use by the City and questioned if this would be possible if it was sold to the Port. He expressed concern with the funds spent for the Human Resources consultant when the City did not have adequate funds to increase staff. Don Stay, 715 Sprague Street, Edmonds, representing three Edmonds Port Commissioners, recalled citizen comments made at a previous meeting regarding the relationship between the City and the Port. He said the Port is not in discord with the City and he feels strongly about the cooperative spirit each displays to the other. He recognized both serve the public with (sometimes) different perspectives, but with the common goal of betterment of the community. He acknowledged the City has governance control over construction and development within the City's boundaries, including the Port property, administrated via its approval and permitting process. However, there may be differences of interpretation. The recent storm related catastrophes at the Port made it essential they utilize the permissive permitting allowed for reconstruction under catastrophes as soon as practical. If there had been any irritation during the process, it was due to time loss, not the Port and City working against each other. As a result of the City's request to redefine some structural issues, the project was refined and saved the Port $300,000. He thanked Building Official Jeannine Graf, Planning Supervisor Jeff Wilson, Plans Examiner/Building Inspector Ann Bullis, and Associate Planner John Bissell for working with the Port and coordinating the City's response to the Port's plans for rebuilding. 4. PROCLAMATION IN RECOGNITION OF PUBLIC WORKS WEEK Mayor Fahey recognized the tremendous service provided to the City and its citizens by Public Works, particularly during and following the winter storms. She remarked it was somewhat prophetic that Public Works as well as Emergency Medical Services are observed during the same week as both go above the call of duty to provide service. She read a Proclamation declaring May 18 - 24 as National Public Works Week in Edmonds and presented the Proclamation to Public Works Superintendent Noel Miller. She noted on Friday, May 16, the three local cities participated in Public Works Day, held at the Edmonds Public Works site. Public Works Superintendent Noel Miller thanked the staff of Public Works, the Treatment Plant and Engineering, a total of 65 employees, for the good job they do. He reported the estimated evaluation of the City's infrastructure is approaching $1 billion; the City's annual expenditure of approximately 1% of this amount was money well spent. 5. PROCLAMATION IN RECOGNITION OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES WEEK Mayor Fahey recognized the services provided by everyone performing Emergency Medical Services each day as well as during the winter storms. She read a Proclamation declaring May 18 - 24 as National Emergency Medical Services Week in Edmonds and presented the Proclamation to Fire Chief Springer. Fire Chief Springer noted 75% of their emergency calls require Emergency Medical Services (EMS). He described the origin of emergency medical services in 1928 and the equipment and knowledge EMS uses Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 20, 1997 Page 4 today. He recognized citizens who perform emergency medical services when necessary. He thanked the Council for the Proclamation. 6. REPORT ON COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS OF MAY 13. 19977 Finance Committee Committee Chairperson Nordquist directed the Council's attention to the City Council Finance Committee Minutes, noting he and Councilmember Miller attended the committee meeting. Discussion included the Collection Agency Agreement which was approved on the Council Consent Agenda and Fourth of July fireworks which was placed on tonight's Agenda as Item 10. Chief Springer reported to the committee that the successful fund raising of the Fire Safety Foundation would provide funds for the purchase of the Thermal Imaging System. Councilmember Nordquist thanked all those who contributed and urged the Foundation to add other items. The Committee also discussed Self Contained Breathing Apparatus Replacement which was placed on tonight's Agenda as Item 11, Fire Apparatus Replacement which was placed on tonight's Agenda as Item 12, mailing equipment which was approved on the Consent Agenda as Item J, Reactivation of the Police Dive Team was placed on tonight's agenda as Item 13, Lease of three 1997 Harley Davidson Police Motorcycles was approved on the Consent Agenda as Item K, Roadway Striping Equipment Purchase - authorization to go to bid was approved on the Consent." Agenda as Item E, Review of Investment Policy was approved on the Consent Agenda, and Petty Cash Expenditures of the Month of April 1997 were approved. Community Services Committee Co -Chair Van Hollebeke reported Parks and Recreation Manager Arvilla Ohlde updated the committee Committee on the Skateboard Project and the growing interest in skateboarding. Through a cooperative effort with Lynnwood and matching grant funds, a skateboard park may be built at Lynndale Park. He noted in 1997, the Washington State Legislature approved the placement of skateboard parks in the Washington Immunity Act which provides a measure of protection from liability exposure. The Community Services Committee recommended the grant application be placed on the Consent Agenda. The committee discussed difficult enforcement cases and the proposed new nuisance ordinance. Following testimony from citizens, the Committee requested this issue be referred to the Planning Board to begin a public process. Following City Engineer Jim Walker's update on regional water issues, the Committee recommended an Interim Water Group presentation be scheduled for a future Council meeting. The Committee recommended a discussion of the Fourth of July fireworks display be placed on the Council Agenda and a survey of an area on Perrinville Creek be placed on the Consent Agenda. Public Safety Committee Committee Member White reported the Downtown Parking Committee requested the City hire a full- time enforcement officer for 1998. Police Chief Hickok advised Mountlake Terrace may be interested in contracting with Edmonds for animal control on a part-time basis. If the City picked up the other half of the animal control officer's salary, Edmonds could have a full-time parking officer. On another matter, Chief Hickok reported PAWS did not plan to renew their contract for housing animals retrieved by Animal Control. Chief Hickok was advised by the Committee to enter contract negotiations with Adix's Bed & Bath for Dogs for future animal shelter services. Reactivation of the Dive team was discussed next by the Committee and a proposal to reactivate the dive team with four police divers was presented. A group of fire, police and park and recreation staff, the City Attorney, and divers in the community will be organized to discuss activation of the full Dive Rescue team and boat. Further, ordinances amending Edmonds City Code to establish the crime of interference with the reporting of domestic violence and establishing the crime of making a false or misleading statement to a public servant were discussed by Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 20, 1997 Page 5 the Committee and recommended to be placed on the Consent Agenda. The Committee also recommended the lease of three Harley Davidson police motorcycles for $100 each month be placed on the Consent Agenda. Chief Springer presented a video describing the Washington State Fire Academy, currently utilized by the Edmonds Fire Department for live -fire training. He advised new State requirements include live -fire training for all firefighters. The Committee discussed Self -Contained Breathing Apparatus Replacement and Fire Apparatus Replacement and recommended both be placed on the Council Agenda for discussion. Hearing - 7• HEARING ON PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Amend CODE SECTION 16.50, COMMUNITY BUSINESS (BC). TO MODIFY MAXIMUM PERMITTED ECDc Section 16.50 RESIDENTIAL DENSITY ROOFLINE MODULATION AND ESTABLISH MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL AS A PRIMARY PERMITTED USE IN THE ZONE Prior to beginning the hearing, Mayor Fahey explained the Property Owner's Group is an ad hoc group of the Edmonds Alliance for Economic Development formed to make recommendations regarding property development as it applied to economic development. She stressed the Edmonds Alliance for Economic Development's Executive Board did not oversee the Property Owner's Group nor did it take an active role in the process of making a recommendation to the City or the Planning Board. Councilmember Van Hollebeke explained he is the current Chair of the Edmonds Alliance for Economic Development; there are two members on the Board from the City, two members from the Port, two from the Chamber of Commerce, and one at -large member. He agreed with Mayor Fahey's assessment of the process. The Alliance encouraged the formation of a Downtown Property Owners group but that group has acted independently. The Alliance's only involvement has been updates on the process. City Attorney Scott Snyder advised the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine only applied to quasi-judicial matters; the Council's consideration of a Code amendment was a legislative action. Councilmember Nordquist suggested the Council have first reading of this proposed ordinance tonight and hold a second reading in the future to address questions that arise or submittal of additional information resulting from increased citizen awareness of this issue. Council President Earling did not disagree with continuing the hearing as there may be questions that arise that require further investigation. He proposed, after this issue has been discussed, the Council continue the hearing to the June 17 Council meeting. Mr. Snyder advised either method would be appropriate. Councilmember Myers asked if participants would be limited to one appearance if the hearing were continued. Mr. Snyder advised only the one three-minute comment per evening would apply as this was a legislative hearing. Allowing further comments would be particularly important if substantive changes were made. Planning Manager Rob Chave explained the proposed ordinance, recommended by the Planning Board following public hearings, would, 1) allow multi family uses on any floor except the ground floor of a building and remove the current restriction that requires a downtown building be more than 50% commercial uses, 2) remove the multi family density cap of one dwelling unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area, relying instead on bulk and parking standards to restrict density, 3) allow for more flexible roof forms (roof modulation) within existing height and bulk requirements (no change in height limits), and Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 20, 1997 Page 6 4) provide a standard minimum commercial depth requirement of 30 feet for ground floor commercial space, assuring that commercial uses will continue to be provided downtown. He explained as the Code currently exists, parking on the ground floor would not be restricted. He assured the current height limits (30 feet with modulation, 25 feet without) would not be changed. He read Section C of 16.50.000 - Purposes of the Ordinance - "To allow for mixed-use development which includes multiple dwelling unit(s) that support business uses." He noted public testimony and Planning Board members indicated interest in a resident population in downtown who would utilize downtown businesses and services and reduce reliance on people outside downtown. Mayor Fahey opened the public participation portion of the hearing. Michael Kunz, Director of the Edmonds Alliance for Economic Development (EAED), supported the recommended changes in the BC zone. He explained, based on his experience, the proposed change would promote economic vitality in the downtown area as well as the quality of life for Edmonds and downtown. He recommended the Council take action tonight on the proposed changes. Jacque Mayo, 229 3rd Avenue, Edmonds, Chair of the Property Owners Committee, said he represented 40-60 individual property owners in the downtown area. A 14 month process with staff, the - Property Owners' Committee, and the Planning Board resulted in equitable revisions that would increase economic development. He supported the Council's approval of changes tonight rather than delaying the decision, noting a great deal of work and thoughtful decision-making had taken place. Brad Butterfield, 400 Dayton, Edmonds, explained over the past 14 months, the Property Owners Group met with the Community Services Committee twice, four times with the Planning Board including two public hearings, and at least five times with City staff to discuss possible Code changes. His understanding was the Council adopted the existing Code in the 1970's to allow shop owners to live above the shops. He pointed out that actually the opposite occurs due to the requirement for a 3,000 square foot lot per dwelling unit in the BC zone. He noted the proposed changes would eliminate the 3,000 square foot requirement and allow the site, marketability and economic feasibility of the project to determine the density and residential mix. He stated this would provide affordable housing again in Edmonds. He supported the proposed Code changes and pointed out the Planning Board, City staff, and a number of citizens also supported the changes. He requested the Council's support of the proposed changes. Councilmember White asked how the proposed changes would promote economic development in the downtown core. Mr. Butterfield answered there were a number of properties in downtown that cannot be developed under the current Code. The proposed 30 foot minimum commercial depth requirement mandates commercial uses and increases the tax base but also allows design flexibility for lots 120 feet deep that are difficult to lease. When creating an economic model, property owners often want to maximize commercial space and needs the sale of condominiums to offset their mortgage. He summarized the proposed Code changes allow creation of better economic models and create new buildings which bring in better businesses and more affordable living spaces. Councilmember Myers questioned how access to multi family development would be provided. Mr. Butterfield said they requested lobby access; property owners likely would not have a lobby that dominates a property because it could not be sold/leased as square footage. Further, staff would interpret the Code and make a determination regarding allowable lobby size. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 20, 1997 Page 7 Bruce Nickolson, 9829 Cherry Streeti Edmonds, commented that one of the difficulties with property development in Edmonds was land value. Unless a property owner could offset some land costs with residential space, feasible development could not occur under the current Code. He pointed out the City's need for increased business to generate taxes for the City's use in providing necessary and desired services and to eliminate the need to increase property taxes. He supported allowing the market to assist in generating more tax revenue and encouraged the Council not to delay this action further. Josephine Fye, 655 Main Street, Edmonds, commented from a banking perspective. Over the past 12 years, her branch has financed many commercial developments in Edmonds and has extensive experience in the communities it serves throughout Snohomish County. She explained the increase of multi -use buildings in Edmonds in the past few years has placed their borrowers at significant risk—a risk the lender must build into the financing of the loan by higher interest rates, lower loan to value ratios, increased loan fees, or requiring contingency reserves. She expressed concern with building community space under the current Code without consideration for market conditions. She urged the Council to consider these issues when evaluating these Code changes as the vitality of the City depends on developers and property owners. She supported the issue. Doug Dewar, 110 James Street, Edmonds, explained he is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, - current Chair of the Governmental Affairs Subcommittee, and a member of the Property Owners Committee. He said the business community as well as the City are striving for economic development but the current City Codes prevent and discourage development in the BC zone. He pointed out over 20 condominiums in the $300,000 - $500,000 price range are currently for sale in the Edmonds Bowl area, most in the BC zone and there have been fewer than 10 sales of $300,000 units in the past 18 months. Further, much of the recently built commercial space is vacant—the BC zone is not thriving under the _ ... current zoning. To promote economic growth, more people need to live in the downtown core to support retail businesses and developers need to be able to build less expensive condominiums. He pointed out residential uses generate less traffic than commercial uses and there was currently more demand for residential uses than for commercial. He said the proposed Code changes were a necessary first step toward allowing economic revitalization of downtown Edmonds. On behalf of the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, he urged the Council to pass the Code changes tonight. Larry Naughten, 729 Laurel Street, Edmonds, supported the Chamber and their perspective. He advised there were currently seven listings in the downtown area in the $450,000 - $619,000 price range with square footage ranging from 2,400 - 3,000; two of the units had been for sale six months and the average was three months. He pointed out these units were built due to Code requirements but there was no market for them. If developers were allowed to build what the market needs, units would likely be 1,500 square feet. He pointed out the current code is not realistic and has a negative impact on affordable housing. Dave Page, 1233 Olympic View Dr., Edmonds, said he is not a member of the Property Owners Group but supported the Code changes as an effort to create economic viability. He recently purchased a 14 - unit building in the downtown. He said there is a waiting list for the 14, two bedroom, 600 square foot units—most are young people who want to live downtown. He recalled, as an example of economic loss caused by the current Code, a Care Center that wanted to locate in Edmonds but built their facility in Silverdale because of Edmonds' 2 -space per unit parking requirement. Al Rutledge, 7101 Lake Ballinger Way, Edmonds, expressed concern with the Code changes in view of recent expansion of business zoning outside the downtown area. He was also concerned with mixed Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 20, 1997 Page 8 use. He reiterated his suggestion for a monorail to transport people into Edmonds' downtown area as well as improvements to the ferry terminal. Chris Guitton, 1012 Viewland Way, Edmonds, President of the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, said he attended the Planning Board meetings as an observer and reported to the Chamber. The Chamber Board unanimously voted to support the proposed Code changes. He urged the Council not to further delay this matter. He explained the changes would be useful to downtown retailers as they would increase pedestrian traffic and the shopper base in downtown Edmonds. As an Edmonds resident, he supported the Code changes because they were minor and would not have a major visual impact. He supported progress but also the protection of the quality of life and keeping Edmonds the friendliest City on Puget Sound. Don Carr, representing the Citizens Advisory Board of the EAED, explained EAED members represent a broad spectrum of the community. He pointed out in addition to the number of meetings held, many hours were spent reviewing the Code changes. He advised that the Citizens Advisory Board unanimously supported the Code changes and urged the Council to approve the Code revisions so economic development could proceed. Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, Edmonds, described going through downtown and the affect of trees, flowers, businesses, sunlight and the non -imposing atmosphere of low buildings—the gem of Puget Sound and the small town atmosphere. He expressed concern with the possibility of three story buildings that would block sunshine, empty businesses because they cannot afford the rents and a 10' x 30' business cubicle next to an entrance above residences. He said the business zone would disappear, and was in the process of disappearing. The proposed changes would benefit the individuals who spoke but the majority of citizens did not want this change. He expressed concern with eliminating density requirements and felt roofline changes would block views. He recommended commercial be the primary use in the BC zone and multiple uses be secondary. He cautioned the Council if these changes were adopted, citizens would not like Edmonds in 2000. Diane Duca, 20719 82nd Avenue W, Edmonds, supported the proposed Code changes and assured the changes would not affect primary uses in downtown, would not alter heights, and would not eliminate restrictions on density. They would enhance the creation of a better environment in the downtown core and provide more people to support economic development. She encouraged the Council to pass the changes tonight to show their conviction to supporting economic development and quality of life and to move the City forward out of the constraints of the existing Code. COUNCILMEMBER MYERS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WHITE, TO EXTEND THE HEARING UNTIL 9:15 P.M. IF NEEDED. MOTION CARRIED. Rich Demeroutis, 921 Pine Street, Edmonds, pointed out Edmonds was a classic example of other cities' downtown—the mall and highways pass them by. He said there are a number of vacant buildings in downtown now. He questioned whether small businesses in downtown could generate sufficient taxable retail sales to eliminate the need for Sales Tax Equalization. He suggested taxable revenues be increased, a B & O tax instituted, or the service industry be taxed. Karen Wiggins, 152 3rd Avenue S, Edmonds, Chair of the Downtown Edmonds Parking Advisory Committee, explained how the proposed changes would help with parking. Using a building they developed four years ago as an example, she explained a 1,600 square foot office with six employees had six vehicles; if the same 1,600 square feet were one condominium, it would only have one or two Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 20, 1997 Page 9 vehicles—significantly increasing the parking in the building for business use and decreasing on -street traffic. She also described increased property taxes as a result of increased residential development. She pointed out including residential units would promote affordable housing, would increase taxes, but the building size and density would not change. Warren LaFon, 123 4th Avenue N, Edmonds, said he has designed a number of projects in the City over the past 30 years and felt the Code changes were a positive step. From the design community's standpoint, the changes would result in a better product, provide more "people places", and break up the streetscape. He pointed out 25 sites were identified in downtown that could be redeveloped, resulting in increased taxes for the City. The changes would also result in more people downtown, create more affordable housing, and make the City a better place to live for everyone which increases the viability of the business community. He felt this was a positive step, one of many he hoped the Council would make. Councilmember White asked Mr. LaFon to describe the image one could expect as a result of these Code changes. Mr. LaFon replied one of the first things would be replacement of the "saw -tooth" roofs (which are dictated by the existing Code) with other roof designs. Further, the changes would result in "people places" such as an alcove with a bench, plantings, etc. Mr. Snyder advised the City received two letters, one from Rob Morrison dated May 16 and an undated letter from William J. Kasper. Copies had been distributed to the Council and were available for public review. Councilmember Van Hollebeke asked staff to comment on the alleged lack of public input. Mr. Chave w . replied two public hearings were held as well as several workshops. He read the Planning Board legal notice, "Project description is a proposed amendment to the Edmonds Community Development Code Section 16.50, Community Business - BC, to modify maximum permitted residential density, roofline modulation, and establish multi -family residential as a primary permitted use in the zone." He felt the notice adequately encapsulated the purpose of the public hearing. He said the legal notice appeared in the Herald and there had been at least one local article describing the Planning Board discussion regarding the BC zone. Council President Earling requested staff provide information regarding the impact the Code changes would have on land values. He questioned what businesses could be sited in a space with a 30 foot depth. Mr. Chave explained the 30 foot commercial depth was required to ensure commercial frontage on the street. It was not anticipated commercial spaces will be only 30 feet in depth, they likely would extend to the back of the building. Council President Earling questioned the drawings provided to illustrate rooflines. Mr. Chave assured any extra lines did not indicate a continuous roof; they may indicate an atrium in the center, modulation on the side of the building, etc. For Councilmember Myers, Mr. Chave clarified the existing Code had a density cap of one unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; the 3,000 square feet did not refer to unit size. Councilmember Haakenson explained, as a retailer, street frontage was very important and a large entry would be unlikely because it would reduce the available retail space. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 20, 1997 Page 10 Council President Earling suggested staff provide examples of businesses that could be accommodated by these proposed Code changes, different commercial uses, parking requirements, and remaining parking for residential use to provide the public a better understanding of the impact. Mayor Fahey closed the public participation portion of the hearing and remanded the matter to Council. COUNCILMEMBER HAAKF,NSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE, TO EXTEND THE HEARING TEN MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Van Hollebeke thanked the Property Owners' Group for their description of why the Code changes were important and necessary. As an individual aware of the need for economic development in the community, he said the proposed changes were a huge step forward, were non- threatening, and would enhance and more effectively utilize properties. He did not see a reason to continue the hearing as there had been a great deal of publicity regarding the changes, and citizens reading the Planning Board's notice could easily understand the purpose of the hearings. Councilmember Myers was impressed with the idea of affordable housing which surveys indicated was citizens' number one concern. He supported the changes but was concerned with building entrances on.7 the street. He urged the Council to continue the hearing to allow citizens another opportunity to provide input. Councilmember Haakenson pointed out the changes were a common sense approach; business owners need more people in downtown. He supported the adoption of the ordinance, noting the changes would provide more appealing structures, maintain commercial frontages on the ground floor, and provide less costly housing. He was willing to vote on the issue tonight but would agree to postpone a decision if anyone needed more information. He disagreed with Mr. Hertrich's statement that the changes would cause the business zone to disappear, pointing out the business zone would disappear if the changes were not made. Council President Earling pointed out his involvement with the RTA illustrated the public may not be informed even when numerous meetings have been held. He remarked those involved with developing the proposed changes and who attended the Planning Board meetings would be knowledgeable of the changes; however, most of the public likely did not know about it, regardless of the good intent of publications. Councilmember White pointed out the Council was elected to make decisions based on the information presented. He observed several Councilmembers indicated they would vote the same way tonight or at a future hearing and questioned the need to continue the hearing. COUNCILMEMBER MYERS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING, TO CONTINUE THE HEARING TO A DATE ESTABLISHED BY THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT TO GATHER ADDITIONAL INPUT FOR CITIZEN REVIEW. Council President Earling suggested the hearing be continued until the June 3 Council meeting. Mr. Snyder advised that continuation to a date certain would not require publication unless the Council so directed. Council President Earling requested staff publicize the continuation of the hearing. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 20, 1997 Page I 1 Mr. Chave clarified staff would provide information regarding the impact on real estate values, examples of business spaces, and possible site development. MOTION CARRIED, COUNCILMEMBERS HAAKENSON, MILLER, NORDQUIST, MYERS AND EARLING IN FAVOR, COUNCILMEMBERS WHITE, AND VAN HOLLEBEKE OPPOSED. Mr. Snyder advised members of the public were welcome to speak again at the continued hearing but assured their comments at tonight's hearing remained in the record and it was not necessary to repeat them.

Cinthia Blat, a freshman at the University of Stanford, was awarded a $2000 Literary Arts scholarship and Jessica Schroeder, a senior at Edmonds-Woodway High School, was awarded a $2000 Performing Arts scholarship.

Mr. Hodges recognized Frances Chapin, Cultural Arts Resource Coordinator; Edmonds Arts Commission members; and Kris Gillespie, Arts Commission Clerk, in the audience.

He quoted a statement made by former President John F. Kennedy regarding the importance of arts. Mayor Fahey thanked Mr. Hodges for the report and the Art Commission's assistance with art selection. 7A. ORDINANCE NO. 3145 AMENDING ANNUAL SALARY ORDINANCE NO. 3139 Personnel Manager Brent Hunter explained this agenda item was a request to pass an ordinance amending the salary ordinance by implementing the Classification and Compensation sections of the Human Resources Plan. Funding for this portion of the Human Resources Plan was discussed by the Long Range Financial Task Force who recommended amendment of the salary ordinance. He pointed out the reorganization and new position sections of the Human Resources Plan have not yet been reviewed by the Long Range Financial Task Force. He directed the Council's attention to Exhibit A, Position Classification Schedule, and Exhibit B, Exempt Salary Schedule. He advised, for union employees, the ordinance required negotiation of a supplement to the labor agreement. The $40,260 cost was budgeted in the Salary Pool. If approved, he requested authorization to transfer funds from the Council Contingency Fund to the appropriate departments in the General Fund. For Councilmember Miller, Mr. Hunter assured the consultant's Super Step plan was not included in the recommendation but would be considered in the future. Councilmember Miller expressed concern that under the five year implementation, non -represented employees received the least amount of cumulative increases over five years to reach the average yet Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 20, 1997 Page 12 labor groups were already there. Mr. Hunter advised a three year implementation was considered by the Long Range Salary Task Force but. was disregarded due to the increased expense. Other implementation alternatives for non -represented employees were considered; the implementation method selected was suggested by an employee. COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE, FOR APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 3145, AMENDING THE ANNUAL SALARY SCHEDULE AND TRANSFERRING FUNDS FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND. Councilmember Miller did not feel the amendment went far enough and would vote no unless an opportunity for employees to catch up was proposed. MOTION CARRIED, COUNCILMEMBER MILLER OPPOSED. 9. PRESENTATION ON THE AIR STATION AVIATION HISTORY CENTER Linda Hoult, Boardmember of the Aviation History Center, provided a slide presentation and described their plans to restore two hangers and acquire 35 aircraft. She described the educational benefits of the project and invited the Council to tour their facilities and/or participate in the project. She said their goal was to acquire a resolution of support for their restoration project from each City in Snohomish County Cities to assist in their eligibility for federal grant funds. COUNCILMEMBER MYERS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING, TO EXTEND THE MEETING 32 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE, TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE PROJECT. MOTION CARRIED. 10. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FUNDING REQUEST FOR FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS DISPLAY Lynda Ransley, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, requested the Council's support for the Fourth of July fireworks display. She explained the Chamber seeks to ensure the short and long term future of the community fireworks display, noting other communities have abandoned their fireworks display due to lack of support. She pointed out since the Chamber of Commerce lost its corporate sponsor, Olson's, it has become increasingly difficult to find the money to put on this community event as it provides limited exposure for local businesses. She asked the Council to approve funding for half of the annual cost of the Fourth of July Fireworks; the Chamber of Commerce would provide the other half from donations from local businesses. The cost of this year's event is $12.,000; the City's half would be $6,000. Chris Guitton, Chamber President, advised they are soliciting donations from agencies in the community and appreciated the Council's consideration of their request. Councilmember Van Hollebeke recalled the Community Services Committee discussed the possibility of inviting citizens to participate in fund raising via a display at grocery stores, etc. -Mr. Guitton said they placed a request in the Edmonds Paper, and have approached Councilmember Miller regarding Boy Scouts collecting money during the parade and at the fireworks display. The Chamber is also soliciting funds from businesses in the community. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 20, 1997 Page 13 Councilmember Miller asked why funding was different this year. Ms. Ransley advised the first year, the Chamber provided $5,000 from its reserves and last year the Hubbard Trust provided a $5,000 grant. Those sources of funds are not available this year. For the 1997 display, the Chamber was seeking to match funds collected from businesses. Councilmember Myers said although he felt the fireworks display was an excellent project and enjoyed it for many years, the City's budget would not allow this expenditure. He could not support a donation this year, particularly in view of other services that have been eliminated. Councilmember Haakenson said he enjoyed the fireworks in past years and pointed out other communities have similar funding difficulties. He shared Councilmember Myers' option, noting the City cannot fund many other programs and he could not support using public moneys to support this event. Councilmember White commented it was a shame citizens could not even light a sparkler in Edmonds and now funding for the public display was in jeopardy. He agreed City funding was not available, noting until funding for necessary priorities were identified, pleasures must be set aside. Councilmember Van Hollebeke offered to assist in finding a corporate sponsor, make a presentation, etc... He urged the Chamber to publicize the need for funding in an effort to get the community and/or a corporate sponsor to step forward. Mayor Fahey thanked the Chamber for their presentation and expressed hope that the community would realize the fireworks display was in jeopardy. She echoed the Council's comments, noting the Council was trying to do long-range financial planning and prioritization. She regretted the necessity for this decision but could not support a donation at this time. She offered to do whatever possible to assist in locating funding. Councilmember Miller asked if the Chamber members had been solicited. Mr. Guitton advised they would be solicited at the upcoming meeting. Councilmember Miller offered to donate $100 .if every member gave $100. Councilmembers Van Hollebeke, Haakenson and Mayor Fahey also offered a $100 donation. 11. SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS REPLACEMENT Fire Chief Springer advised in 1997 a local vendor made a "best guess" that $75,000 might meet the purchase price to replace the Self -Contained Breathing Apparatus. He explained the existing Self - Contained Breathing Apparatus were nearing the end of their service life and maintenance costs were prohibitive. A one-time purchase of all equipment was necessary as it cannot be phased in. Three vendors submitted bids for the Self -Contained Breathing Apparatus; two were non-responsive bids and one met all bid specifications but was $10,265.23 over the $75,000 allocated in the operating budget for this purchase. The Finance Committee discussed rebidding the project and recommended funding be identified as options were limited. Finance Director Housler recommended the additional required funds ($10,265.23) be taken from unanticipated retail sales tax for 1997. The Public Safety and Finance Committees recommended full Council discussion of this issue and acceptance of the bid for $85,265.23 with $75,000 from the Fire Department operating budget and the remainder from unanticipated retail sales tax. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 20, 1997 Page 14 COUNCILMEMBER MYERS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO AWARD THE PROJECT TO SEA WESTERN COMPANY FOR THE SUM OF $85,265.23. FUNDING SHALL COME FROM FIRE DEPARTMENT OPERATING BUDGET LINE ITEM NUMBER 510-594-22-64 $75,000 AND $10,265.23 FROM UNANTICIPATED RETAIL SALES TAX FOR 1997. MOTION CARRIED. 12. FIRE APPARATUS REPLACEMENT CALL FOR BIDS Fire Lt. Steve Allison said the Fire Apparatus Replacement Committee sought authorization to go out for bid on two fire engines. He described the efforts of the Fire Apparatus Replacement Committee, noting a Master Plan and proposed funding source were presented at the Council Retreat. The Council agreed with the long range plan, the proposal for long range Fire Apparatus Replacement, and a lease/purchase plan from Fund 005. Further, the Public Safety and Finance Committees recommended the purchase of two fire engines be placed on the Council agenda for authorization to go out to bid as outlined by the Invitation to Bid documents. He advised City Attorney Snyder reviewed the lease documents and Finance Director Housler reviewed and agreed with the funding source identified. Councilmember Van Hollebeke commented on the excellent presentation provided at the Council Retreat which represented a great deal of time, thought and a detailed investigation. He asked if there had been - any changes since the presentation that would impact the Council's decision. Lt. Allison said the only difference was interest rates had increased from 3.82% to 4%. Councilmember Miller complimented the Fire Apparatus Replacement Committee on their presentation at the Retreat, and the Finance Committee, noting the lease/purchase option of fire apparatus would benefit the community. COUNCILMEMBER MILLER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE, TO AUTHORIZE THE CALL TO BID FOR TWO FIRE ENGINES WITH FUNDING IDENTIFIED AS LEASE/PURCHASE OPTION. MOTION CARRIED. 13. AUTHORIZATION TO REACTIVATE THE POLICE DIVE TEAM Assistant Police Chief Al Compaan explained when the joint police/fire dive team was not funded due to budget restrictions, police divers approached Chief Hickok with a proposal to revive some form of the dive team. Chief Hickok met with divers in the Police Department and with Park and Recreation Manager Arvilla Ohlde to redefine the mission of the dive team. A mission statement was drafted as follows, "The focus of the Edmonds Police Department Dive Team will be to provide limited shore - based rescue services to divers who experience difficulties along the Edmonds shoreline. In addition, the dive team will have the capability of providing limited investigations for water -related deaths, accidents, and criminal acts. In the unfortunate situation where the dive team is called upon to recover a drowning victim, all efforts will be made to find, locate, and recover the body, providing there is minimal risk to the Edmonds Police Department divers." Assistant Chief Compaan explained the former joint dive team had four police and four fire divers. This proposed dive team would have four police divers who would be shore -based and enforcement oriented. The four divers would be available by pager 24 hours a day and all live within the City limits; their gear would be stored at the Public Safety Building which would provide a reasonable response time. Much of the training could be done on -duty during shift overlap. He advised Police staff supported reactivation of the dive team on a limited basis with the hope the program could be reconfigured to its previous status. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 20, 1997 Page 15 For Councilmember Nordquist, Assistant Chief Compaan advised the request to transfer $1,200 from the Council Contingency Fund would cover. limited training costs. ; , Councilmember Miller thanked the Police Department for taking the initiative. He asked whether all divers would be certified and their safety never at risk. Senior Officer Miller replied one of the three divers needed to be brought up to rescue certification ($200 of the requested amount). COUNCIL PRESIDENT EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE, TO AUTHORIZE REACTIVATION OF THE POLICE DIVE TEAM AND TRANSFER $1,200 FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET. Councilmember Haakenson referred to comments made during the audience portion and remarked he too witnessed the unfortunate incident at the ferry dock. While civilian divers were attempting a rescue, he wondered who would rescue the civilian divers if they needed help. He supported the reactivation and thanked Chief Hickok for working out an affordable option to a larger dive team which hopefully could be reinstated in the future. Councilmember Myers pointed out he was quoted in the Herald that the Edmonds Fire and Police - Departments were not in agreement with this proposal. This was incorrect, he said the Fire Chief of Edmonds and the Police Chief were cooperating. Councilmember Myers advised Councilmember White would continue to work with the Police and Fire Chief to determine whether a long range plan could be developed. Councilmember White advised a group made up of Fire, Police, and Park and Recreation personnel, including both Chiefs, as well as members of the diving community would be formed to discuss options. He stressed this limited reactivation was not an adequate solution but rather a temporary fix at best. He stated with the summer coming and an internationally -known dive park in the City, the need for a dive team must be taken seriously. MOTION CARRIED. 14.
