1. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Change to Mayor Haakenson requested confirmation of an appointment to the Arts Commission be added to the
Agenda agenda.
Mayor Haakenson explained no information was included in the Council packet for Item #6 because late
Friday afternoon he received a fax from the new legal counsel for Messrs. Dykes and Butterfield (Bill
Foster, Hutchinson, Foster Weigelt) requesting a continuation of the hearing until later this year to allow
him adequate time to study the case. City Attorney Phil Olbrechts, who is handling the case for the City
due to conflicts with City Attorneys Scott Snyder and Michael Karber who have been involved with this
case previously, agreed to continue the hearing which would also provide time for him to study the case.
Mayor Haakenson requested this item be removed from the agenda.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT MILLER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS, TO
AMEND THE AGENDA TO INCLUDE CONFIRMATION OF ARTS COMMISSION MEMBER
AS ITEM 3A AND TO REMOVE AGENDA ITEM #6. MOTION CARRIED. ( Councilmember

Item E: Approval of Councilperson's Creed
Cou»cit- Councilmember Petso recalled at the retreat Councilmembers Plunkett and White spoke against taking
person's this action and cited specific examples. One of the proposals in the creed requires Councilmembers to
Creed resolve to avoid unilateral action that does not comply with existing Council policy. She pointed out
during the first weeks of her term, she spent a great deal of time on the library issue in an attempt to
affect a change in Council policy and she would not have wanted that to be in violation of the
Councilperson's Creed. As there are a, number of legalities in the oath of office as well as in the State
statute, she did not feel the creed was necessary and planned to, abstain from the process.

MOTION CARRIED.
4. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EDMONDS SISTER CITY COMMISSION
Sister City
Commission Al Huff, past Chair of the Sister City Commission, reported a string quartet of high school and college
Annual Rpt
students who played at the reception for Hekinan's Mayor in 1998 were invited to visit Hekinan,
expenses paid, to perform at the Hekinan cultural hall and schools. The quartet made the trip in February
and had a very successful tour. Via a White House Millennium project for sister libraries, Evie Wilson -
Lingbloom and the Sister City Commission sought and received recognition of the Sister Library
relationship between the Edmonds library and the Hekinan library.
Mr. Huff said much of the Commission's efforts are spent on delegations; six students and a teacher were
sent to Hekinan last summer and Hekinan sent the agreed upon maximum of 15. He commented the City
of Hekinan pays two- thirds of the expenses of the delegates so citizens compete to participate in the
delegation as well as to host Edmonds citizens. In November, an adult delegation from Hekinan visited
the City. He commented the effects of the Sister City relationship are most visible when students return
from Hekinan full of enthusiasm, and when Hekinan delegations leave and the relationships that have
been established with the host families can be observed. He said the Commission's attempt to merge
their exchange programs with the High School's exchange program was unsuccessful due to different
mechanisms between the Hekinan School Board and the City.

Mr. Huff described Jolynne Suminy's coordination of the Hekinan medical professionals delegation,
including arranging homestays and work schedules. Mr. Huff advised Ms. Summy would be President of
the Sister City Commission in 2000.
Mr. Huff advised another task completed by the Commission in 1999 was finalizing the sculpture that
would reside in front of the new City Hall in Hekinan. The artwork was unveiled recently and is on
display in the library. He advised the sculpture required a large fund raising effort that was assisted by
many people including the City Council and the Edmonds Arts Festival Museum Board. He said the
photographic calendar created by the Commission using photographs in the exhibition was distributed to
hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, Chamber of Commerce, etc.
Mr. Huff expressed his appreciation for the liaison relationship with Parks and Recreation Director
Arvilla Ohlde and looked forward to working with Cultural/Recreation Supervisor Brian McIntosh, the
new liaison to the Sister City Commission. Mr. Huff advised the Commission had a particularly large
turnover recently. He introduced a new Sister City Commissioner, Yoskitaka Inque, a teacher in
Mukilteo who has taken students to Japan several times.
Mr. Huff explained the Sister City concept was created by President Eisenhower to create relationships
with countries that the U.S. might otherwise have difficult relationships with. He stressed the importance
of the Sister City program, commenting Japan has the largest number of Sister City relationships in the
world. He said although it was rewarding, it was somewhat difficult for the Edmonds Sister City
Commission, a volunteer group, to work with Hekinan which has a paid staff and a fairly large budget.
Council President Miller thanked Mr. Huff for the leadership he has provided the Sister City
Commission. Mayor Haakenson also thanked Mr. Huff for the years of service he has given the Sister
City Commission.
ECDC 5. PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO EDMONDS COMMUNITY
20.105.045 DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 20.105 APPEALS AND COURT REVIEW. THE PROPOSED
Return of AMENDMENTS WILL ADD A NEW SECTION 20.105.045 RETURN OF APPEAL FEE —
ppeal Fee DETERMINATION OF COUNCIL TO CREATE THE PROVISION FOR REFUND OF APPEAL
FEES TO AN APPELLANT WHEN THEY PREVAIL AT THE LOCAL LEVEL
Development Services Director Ray Miller explained when the Council was discussing new
Development Services fees in November 1999, a question arose regarding whether fees could be
refunded if an appellant was successful. The Planning Board has considered this issue and made a
recommendation to the Council.
Councilmember Plunkett asked if this was a common procedure in other jurisdictions. Mr. Miller
commented it would be unique and ,refunding fees when an appeal was successful would be a novel
approach.
Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, Edmonds, said the City should not reward anyone' for a successful
appeal because that was a chance you took and a successful appellant had accomplished what they
wanted so it was worth the money. However, he said fees should be refunded for a successful appeal of a
staff decision such as an interpretation of the code. If that is done, he requested it be retroactive to the
appeal he filed in 1999.

Councilmember Petso asked what appeal situations this apply would to other than staff decisions. Mr.

Mayor Haakenson remanded. the matter to Council for action.

Councilmember Petso commented no information regarding the Closed Report Meeting was included in
the Council packet, thus the Council had no choice but to remove it from the agenda.
Richard Marin, 18918 88`h Avenue W, Edmonds, complimented the City on the presentation regarding
ultimodal the multi modal transportation center. He referred to a booklet containing preliminary architectural
enter renderings, commenting they appeared to be a modern style with a great deal of glass, steel and concrete.
While he felt the designs were attractive, he did not feel they were compatible with the unique, small
town charm that everyone wants to preserve in Edmonds. He recommended the Architectural Design.

7. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Closed
Alan Young, 111 Main Street, Edmonds, expressed frustration with the continuation of the Closed
Record
Record Meeting regarding Appeal of the Hearing Examiner's Decision to Deny ADB -99 -33 (Agenda
Meeting
Item #6). He pointed out he rearranged his schedule last year to attend hearings and continuations were
AP -99 -187
Butterfield
granted and he had rearranged his schedule again this year to participate in the process only to find
Sunday evening that the hearing was to be continued again. He expressed disbelief with a continuation
request made on a Friday afternoon at 3:30 p.m., commenting someone was aware of this action prior to
that time. He reiterated his frustration at his inability to plan for a continued hearing that would be held
on an unknown date in the future.
Mayor Haakenson said when he learned of the request for a continuation, he requested staff telephone the
parties of record to advise them of the continuation. Unfortunately, the list contains only addresses. Mr.
Young asked to be informed of the date of the hearing in the future. Mayor Haakenson agreed it would
be advertised.
Councilmember Petso commented no information regarding the Closed Report Meeting was included in

important themes and motifs from Edmonds and the City direct the designers to incorporate some of
these architectural themes in the new structures resulting in a blend of new and old. He said there should
be a noticeable and distinctive difference between new facilities built in Edmonds and those built
elsewhere.
Mr. Marin recalled last week's presentation indicated the train station might eventually need to be moved
to make way for the second set of tracks. If so, that represented an opportunity to redevelop the world -
class model train layout inside the existing train station which could be an exciting attraction that would
draw the public to Edmonds. He said the Model Railroad Club has already discussed incorporating an
Edmonds past and future theme section in to their layout and developing it into a display that could be
protected and open to the public. The display could include a sawmill operation, boats working at
Brackett's Landing 100 years ago as well as a new super ferry docking at the new multimodal
transportation center. He commented there were locomotives available for the price of transporting them
to the City; such a locomotive could further develop the historic mill town theme and draw people and
revenue to the City. He summarized this represented an opportunity for economic development and
urged the City to include the Model Railroad Club in the planning of the multimodal center.
Model Bruce Harris, 23318 Brier Road, Brier, President of the Swamp Creek and Western Railroad Club,
Trains- and an educator with the Edmonds School District. for 34 years, said the club meets weekly in the
Amtrak baggage department of the Amtrak Station. He distributed a letter expressing their concerns with moving
Station the depot. He explained the club displayed model trains at the Frances Anderson Center to 200 -250
adults and 400 -500 children over the past weekend. He urged the City to keep them informed of their
plans because moving the display would require a great deal of work. He invited Councilmembers to
visit their display.
Mayor Haakenson said the latest information in Sound Transit was not planning to move the
station. Mr. Harris advised they received word that consideration was being given to moving the station
to install the new tracks. Mayor Haakenson offered to share any information the City receives, pointing
out Sound Transit had not yet applied for a permit so their actual plans were as yet unknown.
Councilmember Earling offered to provide Mr. Harris a .name and contact telephone number for a
member of the commuter rail staff. Mayor Haakenson said the latest information was the station would
remain in its present location and the tracks would be on the west.
Monorail Al Rutledge, 7101 Lake Ballinger Way, Edmonds, recalled when consideration was being given to.
extending the monorail to 145`t, he proposed it be extended to 205 ' and then into Edmonds. He reported
the monorail project had not received funding. However, if a $200 million bond issue passed in Seattle
in 2000, he. planned to propose a bond issue in Edmonds in 2001 to extend the monorail from 2056' to
Edmonds. On another matter, he encouraged the City to establish a Girls Sports Day in Edmonds
(recognized this year in other areas on February 3).
Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, Edmonds, advised he too was present for the hearing that was
Closed postponed (Agenda Item #6). He disagreed with Councilmember Petso's comment that the Council did
Record
Meeting not have a choice, pointing out if an applicant came to the City without a packet, it was not the Council's
AP -99 -187 problem, it was the applicant's problem. He said Messrs. Butterfield and Dykes have received more
Butterfield favors from the City than any other applicant, first when the Council allow an appeal in a "not so timely
fashion," second when the hearing scheduled for the first of the year was delayed to March, and now by
continuing the hearing until later this year.

Planning Kevin Clarke, 23924 107th Place W, Edmonds, requested the Council and the committee involved with
Board changing the Comprehensive Plan, particularly issues regarding schools, public safety and parks, review
Hearing re: the public hearing held before the Planning Board last month. He said substantial irregularities occurred,

applicant and allowed to rebut public testimony. Following public testimony, two hours were devoted to
a discussion between the City Attorney, the school district representative Mr. Carlstad, and the Planning
Board. City residents were not included in the question and answer process. He stressed the school
district, throughout 1999, made it clear to the City that their Capital Facilities Plan was part of the City's
Comprehensive Plan, incorrectly indicating the Capital Facilities Plan was updated annually. When
questioned further, the school district indicated the Capital Facilities Plan would be updated this year
although it was still in the draft stage. Mr. Clarke objected to the Planning Department and _City
Attorney spending a great deal of City time reviewing codes when the. City had not received a finalized
draft of the Capital Facilities Plan from the school district.
Mr. Clarke said three days after the public hearing, there was an article in the Seattle Times projecting
school enrollment would decrease over the next 5 -10 years for every school district in South Snohomish
County and North King County. He said the school district was making recommendations to the
Planning Board that neither recognized the existing non - conforming uses nor how their
recommendations would further their non - conformance. He recommended the public hearing be stopped
and that the Planning Board and Planning Department review the Capital Facilities Plan to understand
the school district plans for 2000 -2005. He said it was unfair to the public to go forward without that
inforination. He said the public should be provided the opportunity for a 2 -hour rebuttal for every
answer provided by the school district as citizens had not had an equal opportunity to make their
presentation.
8. UPDATE ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMPLEX
Public
safety I Mayor Haakenson reported the contractor, architect and City staff walked through the Public Safety
Complex Complex project two weeks ago and completed a punch list of items to be completed and items to be
corrected. He anticipated staff would occupy the building within the next couple weeks. Once the police
and fire departments were moved into the new building, the existing building would be demolished once
the asbestos was removed, and paving and landscaping would follow. He anticipated the project would
be completed in July 2000. Although the building would be occupied prior to July, the courtroom and
Council Chambers would not be usable as the paving and landscaping would not be complete.
9. MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Haakenson congratulated the Meadowdale Maverick's Girls Basketball Team on their State
Championship.
10. COUNCIL REPORTS
Council President Miller reiterated the recognition of the Meadowdale Maverick's Girls Basketball State
Championship.
In response to comments made by audience members, Councilmember Petso requested staff provide her
Rules re: the rules regarding public hearings and public participation, particularly whether public hearings before
ic
Healrin s the Planning Board and other boards /commissions differed from public hearings before the Council. She
g agreed it was odd that certain participants who were not applicants were allowed two hours to speak and

the public was limited to three minutes each. She further asked whether she had an option to deny the
continuance requested for Item #6: She said she did not feel she had an option as there was no
information regarding the hearing provided to the Council.
Mayor Haakenson answered the applicant/appellant has the right to schedule the hearing any time they
wish. The request for continuance was the applicant/appellant's choice and the City Attorney had to
allow it.
Financial & Councilmember Orvis commended staff on Consent Agenda Item I (purchase of financial and permitting
Permitting system software), advising the City purchased financial and permitting software in one package at a
Systems
substantial savings.
Councilmember Plunkett advised he, as the Chair of the Public Safety Committee, received telephone
Fire station Discussion calls in response to an article regarding the potential closing of a fire station. He advised the City
Council establishes policy, not the administration. He said the Public Safety Committee has not
discussed closing a fire station and the Council has discussed it. He pointed out the City was short two
police officers and was operating without Fire Battalion Chiefs. Public safety, along,with every other
line item, would be scrutinized during upcoming budget considerations. Councilmember Plunkett
indicated he would not consider closing a fire station..
Mayor Haakenson advised he was asked by the Long Range Financial Taskforce and -the City Council at
the retreat to bring options to the Council for possible budget cuts. One of the options quoted in the
newspaper was closing a fire station; there were also options of eliminating the D.A.R.E. program and
youth services program, closure of Yost Pool, and a laundry list of other items that were not reported in
the newspaper. He agreed it was a policy decision but felt it was his responsibility to present options to
the Council. He recalled asking the Long Range Financial Taskforce as well as Council at the retreat
whether there were areas the Council did not want considered for budget cuts and there was no response
regarding specific areas to be avoided. He asked whether staff should proceed with identifying all
scenarios for Council consideration or if the possible closure of a fire station in 1 -2 years should be
removed from consideration.
Councilmember Plunkett said he was not interested in closing any fire stations. .Councilmember Orvis
agreed; although he was interested in having all options presented, he felt three fire stations were
necessary and closing a fire station would not be in anyone's best interest.
Council President Miller suggested all options be presented to the Council and the Council hold a
workshop to consider the options as a whole. This was the consensus of the Council.,
Councilmember Earling commented the previous discussion highlights the disagreeable task before the
Council due to the need to prioritize budget cuts of $1 -2 million over the next 1 -2 years. He encouraged
Mayor Haakenson to present all options, commenting many found the library option disagreeable and
others find closing a fire station disagreeable. He stressed the Council would be forced to take a
disagreeable action at some time in the future.
xecutive 9. EXECUTIVE SESSION REGARDING A LEGAL MATTER
Session
At 7:55. p.m., Mayor Haakenson recessed the Council to Executive Session regarding a legal matter for
approximately 30 minutes. He advised no action was anticipated and the Council would adjourn
immediately following the Executive Session.
