3. PROCLAMATION FOR FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY WEEK
Friends Mayor Fahey read a Proclamation declaring the week of June 21 as Friends of the Library Week. She
of the noted the Proclamation would be presented to the library at a luncheon on Thursday.
L ibrary
Week Tom Mayer, Director of the Sno-Isle Regional Library System, described items provided by the
Edmonds Friends of the Library such as the mural in the children's section, computer equipment, and
scholarships and expressed the library's appreciation.
4. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION WITH SNO-ISLE LIBRARY
Sno-1s7e 1! Community Services Director Paul Mar pointed out the Edmonds Library is part of the community as
L ibrary well as the larger Sno-Isle library system. This presentation was an opportunity for the Council and the
Library to discuss changes in the Library and how they affect the City.
Tom Mayer, Director of the Sno-Isle Regional Library System, introduced Nannette Denouden and Patty
Jackson, members of the Library Board; Jonalyn Woolf -Ivory, Assistant Director for Public Services;
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 25, 1996
Page 2
Nancy Messenger, South Region Manager, and Evie Wilson-Lingbloom, Edmonds Community
Librarian. Mr. Mayer provided an overview of the library district, noting they now serve 500,000 people
from 18 libraries, a bookmobile and an outreach service. He described the eight member volunteer
Library Board which has five members from Snohomish County and three from Island County. Cities
participate in the library by an annual contract or by annexation; Edmonds is a contract city. By
annexation, cities chose to be taxed for library services. The Everett Library is not part of the District;
however, the Sno-Isle Library has a reciprocal agreement with the Everett Library. The Library District
is able to offer more services at a lower cost than an independent library as the District performs the
same function many times, such as central purchasing and processing, payroll, training, etc. He
described the services the Edmonds Library offers and the future of libraries as they respond to continued
growth and demand for services.
Mr. Mayer explained property taxes in unincorporated and annexed areas provide 80% of their funding,
17% is provided by city contracts, and 3% from other sources. Their expenditures are staff intensive
(64%), 18% spent for materials, and the remaining 18% for other items (supplies, equipment, etc.). He
pointed out their annual report shows $2.5 million in cash forward which is necessary, due to their
dependency on property taxes which are not available until May each year. He explained the Library
Levy will reach it's maximum of $0.50 per $1 next year; therefore, their funding can no longer increase
(in the current local economy). Property taxes are currently an issue in the legislature; any reduction
would have a serious impact on the library due to its dependency on property taxes for funding. He
stressed the library does not plan to decrease services if there are eventual funding losses.
Evie Wilson-Lingbloom, Edmonds Community Librarian, described the way patrons use the Edmonds
library which includes children's story time, the summer reading program, youth materials, providing
opportunities for community service hours for young adults, adult programs, research and reference
materials, career information, and public use PC's. She described recent research requests which include
requests from authors, students, etc.
Mayor Fahey observed the short period of time books are considered current. Ms. Woolf -Ivory noted -
non -fiction materials are outdated quickly; on-line information increases the library's ability to provide
up-to-date information.
i
Councilmember Van Hollebeke asked if the physical space at the library was adequate and if technology
would replace the need for physical space. Ms. Woolf -Ivory noted technology, such as computer work
stations, require a great deal of space. She commended the City in planning the Edmonds Library to
accommodate future needs. Ms. Wilson-Lingbloom noted there is room to grow in the Edmonds
Library.
Councilmember Myers asked if the 29,500 card holders in Edmonds included the unincorporated areas.
Mr. Mayer answered yes, there are approximately 4,000 card holders in the unincorporated area of
Edmonds.
Councilmember Myers asked if the benefits of the reciprocal agreement with the Everett Library had
been considered in view of increasing technology and access to materials from other locations. Mr.
Mayer advised the reciprocal agreement fee will be renegotiated next year. They will consider how to
best serve the residents of the two county area, particularly those in the South Everett area, including a
careful review of the reciprocal agreement.

Council President Earling asked what funding strategies were planned. Mr. Mayer answered they will
continue to work with the legislature. If the legislature decides to reduce revenue, they will be looking
for ways to reduce costs and improve efficiency, not reducing library services. I
Council President Earling noted his family uses the library services a great deal. His recent experience
with telephone reference was courteous and efficient. He said Edmonds questions costs, particularly at
budget time, but when one considers the approximately 500,000 materials borrowed by Edmonds'
patrons, this is a wonderful amenity to offer to the community.
Mayor Fahey thanked the Library Board, Administrative Staff, Community Librarian and Friends of the
Library for the services the library provides. Ms. Jackson thanked the Council for their support of the
library.
5. INTERIM REPORT ON GENERAL FUND FINANCIAL POSITION FOR JUNE 1996 AND
Genera7 EXTENDED REVENUE FORECAST
Fund
Report
and Administrative Services Director Art Housler explained a shortfall of $172,000 year-to-date was
Extended included in the regular report on May's financial position report, which he had indicated to the Council
Revenue he was researching. Mr. Housler displayed Adjusted Revenue Targets which indicated the target vs.
Forecast actual for January - May 1996. He also displayed Adjusted Expenditure Targets which list City
expenditures by month. He noted some of the $172,000 was offset by reduced expenditures ($90,000
reduction year-to-date through May). The results of his research indicate changes of $133,900 offset the
$172,500 shortfall, resulting in a net shortfall (with June adjustments) of $38,600. One of the reasons for
the shortfall is that Perrinville did not annex to the City as expected; therefore, Perrinville's impact has
been deducted. It was also discovered the County Road Tax has not been received for the Sherwood
Village and Forest Glen annexations ($66,000). Staff expects to receive that money with the next
payment on July 11.
Mr. Housler next displayed a graph of Sales Tax Targets which indicated sales tax were over target in
June by $37,000, approximately $30,000 was due to miscoding. There is a net year-to-date (throu gh
June) shortage in sales tax revenue from the targets of $7,400, although he anticipates being on target by
year end. He displayed the Reconciliation of Utility Tax Revenue Shortages, noting budgeting had been
done"for a 12 month period. However, due to the way utilities bill, (the gas and telephone utilities are
billed for a period December 18 - January 17) no money was received in January, only eleven months of
gas and telephone utility taxes would be collected. It was also determined the electric utility had not
billed any annexation areas but it is anticipated those funds will be collected. The result is a $24,000
shortage year-to-date June; a shortage of $15,000 is forecast at year end. Mr. Housler displayed a graph
of Edmonds Municipal Court Revenues, noting the shortage between target and actual revenues through
June is $56,000.
Councilmember Petruzzi complimented Mr. Housler for his research on the shortfall. He recalled the
municipal court revenue was perceived as being fairly aggressive during review of the 1996 budget. He
asked if this can be corrected or if it will require serious consideration. Mayor Fahey noted the officer
who normally patrols for DWI was not in place during the period January I to May 1, due to changes in
staffing. There has been an increase in the number of DWI's in May, therefore, revenues should increase
in June. In addition, it appears there was $30,000 projected that will not be received due to anticipated
revenues in the annexed areas. She indicated she is waiting to learn whether some of the equalization tax
will be returned from that area. Mr. Housler pointed'out reduced revenues from Traffic Infraction
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 25, 1996
Page 4
Penalties, DWI Penalties, and other Criminal Traffic Misdemeanors account for $47,500 of the $56,000
shortage.
Councilmember White questioned whether the reduced revenue was a result of lack of assessment of
penalty or lack of collection of assessment. Mayor Fahey said it appears to be the lack of citations being
written.
Mr. Housler displayed Adjusted Revenue Projections for year end 1996, noting the overall situation
looks good. He did not recommend further action and indicated he would do further research in August
following a vacation and the two bond issues in July. He noted the budget packet will go out at the end
of July or beginning of August and revenue projections for 1997 will be necessary for preparation of the
budget.
Councilmember Haakenson asked if the revenue projections included any revenue from Perrinville. Mr.
Housler answered all revenues from Peffinville were eliminated.
6. PRESENTATION ON MODIFIED ZERO -BASE BUDGETING
Zero -Base
Budgelin
g Administrative Services Director Art Housler explained Modified Zero -Base Budgeting is a change in
the philosophy for budgeting. At the Council retreat, staff indicated a major problem has been the
necessity for a new revenue source every 4-5 years because the demand for services exceeds revenues.
He indicated previously that once the Esperance area was annexed, there were no other foreseeable
means of accommodating the demand for services with the present revenue.
One of the main reasons Zero Base Budgeting was proposed is the trend for expenditures to exceed
revenue, which is expected to continue. He outlined the objectives for Zero -Base Budgeting which
include addressing long range planning concerns, trending expenditures with revenues, diagnosing the
cost of existing services, providing a database for a Comprehensive Employment Plan and building trust
among all levels of the organization. He described the Comprehensive Employment Plan, noting Zero -
Base Budgeting is part of that process. He described the differences between the Incremental Approach
to budgeting versus the Zero -Base Budgeting. He stressed that in the past, expenditures have been
inflated beyond affordability. Rather than trying to continually cut expenses, priorities will be ranked.
Mr. Housler described the Zero -Base Budget process flowchart of responsibilities for the Mayor,
Administrative Services Director, and Department Directors, and Division Managers, including a five
year projection by the Administrative Services Director. He described the Zero -Base Budgeting timeline
for the 1996 budget, which includes training of each Director and Manager. Zero -Base Budgeting
includes decision making "packages", criteria for setting up those decision making packages and ranking
of each.
Mr. Housler described Cost Centers and how they are budgeted and prioritized. An employee position
control number will be provided on the Cost Center Detail Form for each employee. Costs for items
such as supplies are not costed out by employee but are included in the total. Once the Cost Centers are
prepared, each is incorporated into a Cost Center Summary to determine the total cost for 1996, planned
expenditures for 1997 and the resulting increase/decrease. Consequences of elimination of the position
are included as well as funding sources for the Cost Center. The Division Manager will then rank each
Cost Center, ranking items highest to lowest in priority. This ranking will include an explanation/reason
for the ranking, number of employees in the Cost Center and current expenditures versus budget
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 25, 1996
Page 5
increase/decrease. The Department Director will then rank the Cost Centers again. The Mayor's budget
review team will do another ranking of all services within the City. He stressed Zero -Base Budgeting
will result in a full knowledge of the service provided and the cost of each.
Councilmember Petruzzi thanked Mr. Housler for his presentation and his belief that Zero -Base
Budgeting would provide a quantum leap in understanding how money is spent and how to control it. He
commended the Mayor and Mr. Housleffor the work they have done on this matter.
Councilmember Myers echoed Councilmember Petruzzi's comments and expressed his appreciation that
the information was presented in an understandable format. He also thanked Mr. Housler's staff. Mr.
Housler explained Department Directors and Managers also participated; the concept is acceptable to
everyone.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke questioned the amount of time this process would take compared to the
former budget process and whether enough time had been anticipated for review. Mr. Housler said this
process will take the same amount of time; the difference will be more time at the beginning. However,
by the time the Council sees the budget, all the information will be provided.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke said he is more comfortable with this budget process as it will result in
more informed decisions.
Mayor Fahey pointed out although it is the May&s budget, it must reflect the vision and policies set by
the Council. She anticipated a great deal of information would be provided to the Council bef6re the full
budget is complete as there may be areas that require a policy decision. She noted this would also
provide information for the Human Resources consultant. She thanked Mr. Rousler for his dedication
and effort on this process.
7. REVIEW OF CITY COUNCIL COMTENSATION
Ci ty
Counci I Council. President Earling said Councilmember Myers' wish to review Councilmembers compensation
Canpensa-
tion
has been combined with the discussion of the type of meetings for which Councilmembers are
compensated. He suggested the list of meetings be reviewed to determine if there were others that
should be added or some that should be deleted. The packet includes the meetings the Council is
currently compensated for as well as results of a survey done by the Council Assistant, of surrounding
cities and cities in the state with a population of between 25,000 to 50,000. He explained the Edmonds
City Council receives a monthly stipend of $350 plus $50 for each meeting they attend,'with a maximum
of seven meetings. Benefits include medical, vision, dental, retirement, Medicare and life insurance.
Councilmember Myers stressed no change in compensation would go in to effect until at least January 1,
1998 and for some Councilmembers, not until 2000. No Councilperson may raise his/her salary after
they are voted into office. Similarly, it was Mr. Myers understanding that City Attorney Scott Snyder
had advised no increase could.be made in the number of meetings the Council is compensated for.
Which meetings Councilmembers are compensated for could be revised, but the seven meeting
maximum would remain. Councilmember Myers suggested the Council stipend be increased from $350
to $400 as a base and the per meeting payment be increased from $50 to $60. In addition, he suggested
the Council Presidents stipend be increased from $200 to $250. Council compensation had most
recently been reviewed in 1989 and he believed it was time to compensate the Councilmembers more
appropriately. If every Councilmember was compensated for seven meetings per month (which is not
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 25, 1996
Page 6
usually the case), the total expenditure would be $4,500 for the three Councilmembers who would
receive it in 1998. In the year 2000, when all seven would receive it, the total would be approximately
$11,000.
Councilmember Petruzzi commented the Edmonds Council's compensation appeared to be in line with
other cities with the exception of Lynnwood.
Mayor Fahey suggested, due to the complexity of comparison, that this issue be included in the review of
the compensation package by the consultant. She recalled the number of meetings was set by ordinance;
she requested staff have Mr. Snyder clarify this. She pointed out there. are committee meetings that
Councilmembers are attending that did not exist last year and felt it was appropriate to increase the
number bf meetings the Council is compensated for.
Councilmembers Myers agreed the compensated meetings needed to be revised.
COUNCILMEMBER MYERS MOVED TO GO AHEAD WITH THE PROCESS, TO ESTABLISH
AN ORDINANCE WHERE THE COUNCIL SALARIES WOULD BE RAISED TO $400 A MONTH
FROM $350 AND INDIVIDUAL MEETING COMPENSATION BE CHANGED FROM $50 TO $60
AND THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT COMPENSATION BE CHANGED FROM $200. TO $250.
MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Council President Earling believed the Council's monthly stipend and meeting payment was within the
range of other cities. An additional $250 - $300 could be added if a dollar value were placed on'the
benefits the Council has. No other jurisdictions appear to have the benefits Edmonds offers the Council.
He pointed out the Councilmembers are serving as a community and public service and felt the
compensation level was adequate. He agreed, as the City grows and the Council creates more committee
work for itself, there may be room for discussion regarding the number of meetings for which a
Councilmember is compensated.
Councilmember Nordquist explained when the change was made from a Mayor Pro Tem to the Council
President format in 1989, a decision was made to increase the compensation for that position. However,
the original intent was for it to be a leadership position, the Council President would not be required to
serve on other boards or commissions. He pointed out some of the meetings the Councilmembers attend
are not paid for by the City but by the organization, such as Community Transit, Snohomish Health
District, and the RTA. It was his understanding the Council President had the authority to determine
which meetings the Council would be compensated for.
Councilmember Haakenson requested the Port of Edmonds Committee be added to the list. Mayor
Fahey recalled the Hotel/Motel Tax Committee had been authorized by the Council previously.
Council President Earling agreed and suggested Councilmembers contact him within two weeks with
suggested additions and/or deletions to the list of meetings for which the Council is compensated. He
would then place it on next month's agenda.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke suggested the Human Resource consultant include a review of the
Council compensation in their review. He also suggested the compensation be adjusted based on the
Con S-urner Price Index rather than reviewing it every few years.
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 25,1996
Page 7
Councilmember Nordquist felt the Council should authorize any compensation increases rather than
automatic increases based on the Consumer Price Index. Council President Earling agreed and preferred
funds be available for items other that a review of Council compensation. Councilmernber Petruzzi
agreed. I

ISnocoml garding SnoCom Medic 7, Councilmember Petruzzi explained Fire District #1 will terminate its
Medic 7 relationship with Medic 7 as they are consolidating with Fire District #11. The hiring of a consultant to
determine ow to reconstruct the Medic 7 program was delayed 2-3 weeks because of Lynnwood's
opposition to hiring a consultant.
Councilmember Nordquist reported the Health District is experiencing an on -going increase in red tide
Rea I th on the waterfront. He requested people use caution when approaching the Sound and observe posted
District
signs. The Health District continues to shift to an educational format, and greater awareness of breast

continues to encounter a variety of nationalities and are using more interpreters and seeing an increase in
