Wendy Roesel said last time she spoke to the Council (regarding the skateboard park), she was nervous

Park �'• y p g pp r p
Lynndale Park and the youth in the community.
ateboard Mike Blair, 16321 1 st Avenue NW, Shoreline. spoke in support of the skateboard park and encouraged
rk the City to consider covering it to allow year -round use.

Page 3
kateboard Travis Bertram, 23102 - 100th Avenue W. Edmonds, spoke in support of the skateboard park. He said
Park skateboarders are often hassled by business owners and police officers and felt a skateboard park would
help by giving youth a plate to skateboard as it has in other cities that have built skateboard parks.
ommunity Al Rutledge, 7101 Lake Ballinger Way, Edmonds, said he presented two letters to the City on May 22
rant I because he could not attend the June 2 meeting, one of the letters addressed the community grants. He
wards referred to various communications with the City and Councilmember Earling and said although he has
been requesting funding each year since 1991, he did not receive notification of the availability of the
community grant funding. He now understood the community grants were being awarded for 1998 and
he was requesting funding for 1999. He noted a salary increase for the Council would allow them to
spend more time in the community. He referred to a misunderstanding he and Council President
Haakenson had regarding Medic 7 transport fees.
Gary McCaig, 9120 236th SW, Edmonds, said comments made by Mayor Fahey following last week's
mng of
choois subcommittee meetings indicated she su pp orted changing the zoning of schools to "P ". During a
conversation after the meeting, he understood Council President Haakenson also supported this change.
He referred to Mayor Fahey's comment suggesting there was a minority of people in the community who
want special consideration and asked Mayor Fahey to reconcile these remarks with the remarks she made
at a previous Council meeting in which she appeared to be "on their side" and did not want programs like
Options in residential neighborhoods. He noted City Attorney Scott Snyder advised changing the zoning
to "P" would allow such programs to be located in any school.
Skateboard Brian Lee, 7009 - 1.90th Street SW. Lynnwood, spoke in favor of the skateboard park and said it would
Park help businesses that have problems with skateboarders. He said the skateboard park would provide
youth somewhere to practice their hobby, skateboarding.
JZoning of Kevin Clark 23924 - 107th Place W. Edmonds, thanked Councilmember Van Hollebeke and
drools Councilmember Plunkett for the discussion at the Community Services Committee meeting, noting a
great deal was accomplished and everyone learned a lot. He asked Mayor Fahey to research comments
made by a school district representative that all schools in the Edmonds School District are zoned "P ".
He said this is untrue; there are schools in areas that were annexed over 40 years ago that are still zoned
"single- family ". He pointed out the library and Frances Anderson Center are zoned "single- family
residential" and were improved using a Conditional Use Permit. He'noted the "P" zone would not allow
churches and it appeared that zoning designation would favor the school district. If this was to be a topic
of discussion at the joint City Council /Edmonds School District meeting on June 23, he requested Mayor
Fahey include the petitions signed by residents in the southern portion of the City who oppose the school
district's zoning of those sites to "P" and to include the application for a Comprehensive Plan amendment
that the school district withdrew. This would show the school district's intent and their withdrawal due to
public pressure. He referred to a comment made by Lynnwood Mayor, Tina Roberts, regarding the
Options Program and problems with having a middle school in a neighborhood which was quoted in the
me rise article regarding Scriber Lake. He regretted this appeared to be becoming a political issue
between the two cities and preferred the Edmonds City Council keep it a land use issue. He was
distressed no representatives from churches had attended any of the meetings.
kateboard Monica Hepencamp, 12605 E Gibson Road, Everett, operator of a skateboard shop in Lynnwood, said
ark most of the skateboarders are good kids. She said the skateboard park has been needed in the
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 16, 1998
Page 4
Edmonds /Lynnwood community and the youth deserve it. She noted there were recreational facilities for
other activities but skateboarders continue to be rejected from areas they use.
teboard Shane Bukineugen. 22109 Bowdoin Way, Edmonds, pointed out there were few places to skateboard in
'ark Edmonds. He said most skateboarders like to skate in downtown Edmonds but there is a $100 fine and
your skateboard is taken away. He urged the Council to approve the skateboard park at Lynndale park.
Mayor Fahey encouraged those interested in the skateboard park to stay for the discussion.
oning of Jan Robertson, 10523 240th Place SW, Edmonds, added to Mr. Clark's comments regarding the "P" zone
schools for the grade school, stating the property has been neglected and had many different uses for a long time.
She said it did not look like any other school in Edmonds due to the dumpsters and rusty mailbox. If the
zoning is changed to "P ", she asked if that zone would accompany the property if it were sold (as it has
been rumored to be many times). She requested the Edmonds School District state their plans for the
property. She expressed concern with how the Edmonds School District has reacted to their complaints
regarding the illegal use. She noted upon annexation, they were told the property would be zoned single -
family or possibly a park.
Zoning of Jeff Woods, 23621 92nd Avenue W. Edmonds, expressed his appreciation for Mayor Fahey's attendance
schools at a recent DARE graduation following the birth of her
gr g granddaughter in Omak early that morning. He
expressed his appreciation to Councilmember Plunkett and Council President Haakenson for talking with
him by telephone. He noted although he appreciated the time the Council put in, he reserved the right to
respectfully disagree. He felt the "P" zone would be a mistake and said the statement that all schools in
the Edmonds School District are zoned "P" is not true. He understood that zone would allow the school
district to do whatever they wanted and would give them too much control. He said the "P" zone would
not address churches. He noted former Councilmember Myers attended a neighborhood meeting in
April, 1997, when neighbors expressed their concerns regarding the Options program. Councilmember
Myers promised to take care of the problem but nothing was done. He felt one of the reasons
Councilmember Myers was defeated in the election (and Councilmember Plunkett elected) was the
promises he made to their neighborhood that were not kept.
ro-m—m-u-n-itfl Mel Critchley. 705 Driftwood Place, Edmonds, said Councilmember Plunkett was elected because
rant citizens wanted someone to represent them. He felt the Council was heavily weighted toward business
wards
and the Chamber of Commerce. As a former business owner in Edmonds and a former member of the
South County Chamber of Commerce, he objected to providing any grant funds to businesses in
Edmonds. He felt businesses should stand on their own and not use tax dollars. He pointed out the
payments on his home when he purchased it in the early 1970's were $350 including taxes; his property
taxes are now nearly $6,000.
IT" Zone Mayor Fahey said an answer was not available tonight regarding the "P" zone transferring with a
property upon its sale. She said this would be included in the discussion process if further consideration
is given to approaching the problem in that way. She said staff will research zoning of schools in the
City as well as what would occur if the property were zoned "P" and subsequently sold. She stressed any
reconsideration of this issue will include a public hearing process beginning at the Planning Board level.
3A. PRESENTATION BY ASCENT 21 r
Mayor Fahey explained the Ascent 21 proposal would be placed on the ballot this fall if the Snohomish tn h
County Council made a decision to do so. She introduced Sue Gould, a citizen of Edmonds, and former
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 16, 1998
Page 5
State Legislator, who has worked on the Ascent 21 legislation as a member of the Executive Board. She
also introduced Michael Caid, staff support for Ascent 21, and acknowledged Snohomish County
Councilmember Gary Nelson in the audience.
A
Sue Gould distributed information regarding Ascent 21 and explained the key to Ascent 21 is the need
for infrastructure. The anticipated annual growth for Snohomish County until 2005 is 12,000 people per
year and the existing infrastructure is already overburdened. The goals of Ascent 21 are a ten -year plan
to fund infrastructure in proportion to recent and planned growth, coordinate City /County projects with
the State, develop passive and active recreation sites and preserve open space, and fund water /sewer
projects that provide environmental and capacity benefits. She said their strategy is to identify regional
and local projects and have local jurisdictions manage the projects. She noted there would be a citizen
oversight board, similar to the one used by the RTA. She explained organization and citizen
involvement has included over 50 presentations since September 1997, focus groups, a public opinion
poll of over 500 registered voters, and a community workshop with over 220 people. She explained
these sources provided the basis for their strategy. The public attitudes regarding infrastructure indicated
concern with traffic congestion and the fast pace of growth, infrastructure not keeping up with growth,
lack of public trust in government (mainly at state and federal levels), and voters' support of a long -term
funding plan if the plan was very clear and they trusted that the commitments would be kept.
Ms. Gould said voters indicated they may support an increase in taxes if there was clear use of funds and
they generally favor a sales or gas tax increase (a user fee) and had a negative reaction to an increase in
property taxes. Their polls indicated 75% initially favored the program but upon learning the funding,
only 63% were in favor; following pro arguments, the support increased again. She said this indicates
the plan must be very clear and be geographically balanced. She said there have been other polls since
then that have been supportive and some that have not been. She explained projects will be in four
categories, transportation, parks and open space, water and sewer systems, and surface water. The total
package will cost $615 million over ten years. She said due to the concern with growth inducement,
there likely would be a change that will remove the Clearview water pipeline and reassign those funds.
She explained there will be five ballot measures: 1) transportation - an excess levy requiring a 60 % vote
for $0.85/$1,000; 2) transportation - gas tax requiring a 50% vote; 3) active parks - levy lid lift requiring
a 50% vote for $0.10 /$1,000; 4) conservation/passive recreation - 0.41% real estate excise tax (BEET)
requiring a 50% vote; and, 5) water /sewer - levy lid lift requiring a 50% vote for $0.1051,000. She
explained the individual cost impacts to a representative household ($150,000 home) would be $16.15
per month, or less than $200 per year. She noted this would not include the REET because it only
applied to the seller of a home.
Michael Caid, Vice President for Economic Development Council of Snohomish County, on loan to
Ascent 21 to assist with the planning process, explained the plan includes 97 regional projects for a total
of $615 million. He described funding by category: Traffic - a total of $405 million of which $275
million is for projects with regional impact and $130 million for projects with local impact; Parks and
Open Space - a total of $100 million of which $60 million is for projects with regional impact and $40
million for projects with local impact; Water /Sewer Systems - a total of $40 million for projects with
regional impact; and Surface Water Enhancement - a total of $70 million of which $50 million is for
projects with regional impact and $20 million is for projects with local impact.
Mr. Caid noted projects with regional impact were identified by a variety of sources as projects with
impact or use by a variety of communities. He said the local impact is an amount identified for
allocation for different jurisdictions based on population and tax generation for local districts as well as
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 16, 1998

special districts. He explained the projects were identified via discussions with communities and special
purpose districts regarding projects in their Comprehensive Plans and critical projects to be implemented
for the health of the communities. He said the philosophy regarding traffic is a need to move about the
region - to the RTA facilities and from community to community. He said there are nine total projects in
southwest Snohomish County worth $32 million and the plan includes five parks and open space projects
(totaling nearly $22 million) to address the lack of regional athletic facilities. He said when the
discussion regarding Ascent 21 began, it included the impact on stormwater; since that time the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) as it relates to the Chinook Salmon has been included. Three surface
water enhancement projects were identified in southwest Snohomish County totaling $15 million for
corridor enhancements for salmon. He said this plan would put Snohomish County "ahead of the curve"
as it relates to ESA.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT HAAKENSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN
HOLLEBEKE, TO EXTEND THE DISCUSSION FOR TEN MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Caid noted the geographic disbursement of projects indicates each county has good regional
projects; projects in the Edmonds area include the multimodal center as well as the aquatic center.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke thanked Ms. Gould and Mr. Caid for their presentation. He noted a
recent newspaper article indicated the public does not know what Ascent 21 is. He asked their plans to
publicize Ascent 21. Ms. Gould answered they began with the development project which will be
followed by a campaign. The campaign will begin once the issue is placed on the ballot. She explained
Ascent 21 was offering this program because it was a matter of "pay now or pay later." She said paying
later might not only have monetary impacts, but also a reduction in quality of life. She said these
projects would allow the County to catch up as well as preserve what residents now enjoy.
Mayor Fahey noted she served on the Ascent 21 board and agreed it was not easy to reach agreement on
the projects, distribution of funds, etc. As a result of her involvement with Ascent 21, she learned the
limited ways a local community has to raise funds. She noted Ascent 21 was established because
property taxes were the only way for a local community to address local problems via a voter initiative.
Further, Ascent 21 would address projects not being undertaken by the state or federal government. She
noted the RTA would address some of the congestion but ways for local communities to access these
facilities were still needed. Ascent 21 will provide funds for local projects to tie into larger projects.
Council President Haakenson referred to the information provided to the Council from Bob Drewell
regarding the County Council hearings tomorrow (June 17) at 3:00 p.m. He encouraged
Councilmembers to call County Councilmember Nelson with questions or concerns.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT HAAKENSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN
HOLLEBEKE, THAT ITEM 4 (REPORT ON COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS) BE MOVED
TO ITEM 9A. MOTION CARRIED.
5. Granom PRESENTATION OF COMMUNITY GRANT AWARDS
muntty t
Wards Councilmember Earling explained the Finance Committee had an opportunity to review the grant
requests and he expressed his appreciation to the Council for approving the Community Grants on the
Consent Agenda. He explained for the past few years, the Council has tried to provide funds on behalf of
the City. During budget discussions last year, Councilmember Nordquist suggested community grants be
awarded twice during the year. He explained $25,000 was allocated in the 1998 budget; the grants to be
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 16, 1998
Page 7
awarded tonight total $15,000, the remainder of the allocated funds will be awarded in
October/November provided there are sufficient, eligible grant requests. He clarified all grant awards
were made on behalf of non - profit groups; a 5013C status was one of the requirements.
een Hope Councilmember Earling presented a $2,000 grant to Teen Hope. Michaelin Jurassic, a consultant to Teen
Hope for the past three years on fund raising and organizational development issues, explained Teen
Hope is a shelter program for homeless youth. Although they are located in Shoreline they serve teens
throughout the region. For the past three years, these teens have been served without the assistance of an
Executive Director. Recently, through the work of the board of directors and volunteers, this position
has been reopened and Anna Mahan was hired half time as Executive Director due to budget constraints.
The funding Edmonds provided will allow Teen Hope to continue providing basic shelter services as
well as food, clothing, and bus passes and assist with the expansion of the Executive Director to a full -
time position to enable them to implement all of the goals identified by the board of directors. She said
the goals include mediation, family reconciliation, community outreach, and expanding to their full
capacity (from 7 beds to 13 beds). She thanked Edmonds for the grant the City provided last year that
helped them open their shelter and she looked forward to leveraging Edmonds' gift with other cities in
their service area.
hoirofthe Councilmember Earling presented Choir of the Sound with a $3,000 grant to assist in the presentation of
o„nd their winter concert, "The German Requiem." Pam Marshall, representing Choir of the Sound, explained
they serve the community in numerous ways and music gives a lot back to the community. She noted all
members are adults and for many it is a form of therapy. She said the grant would cover the cost of four
soloists and the expense of the orchestra. She thanked the City for the grant.
Edmonds Councilmember Earling presented a $1,000 grant to the Edmonds Open Bible Church for repair of a
Church Open Bible parking lot that is used for a large number of community events. Pastor Bill Clemens explained they
have tried to be good neighbors to the community by allowing off - street parking for those who use the
facility as well as the Chamber of Commerce for access to the Taste of Edmonds and parking for the 4th
of July. He thanked the City for the grant to improve the parking lot for everyone to use.
hamber of Councilmember Earling presented a $2,000 grant to the Greater Edmonds Chamber of Commerce for a
ommerce new program, Summer Saturdays. Stacie Hearst, Executive Director of the Chamber, explained Summer
Saturdays represented a true cooperative effort between the Chamber of Commerce, their retail
committee, and the property owners group. She was pleased the Summer Saturdays program enjoyed the
support of the downtown retail corridor and looked forward to conducting the program on a trial basis.
She said the grant would be used for staffing and coordination of the event. She thanked the City for the
grant.
Little Red Councilmember Earling presented a $2,000 grant to the Little Red Schoolhouse. Barbara George,
choolhouse Executive Director of the Little Red Schoolhouse, explained they provide education and therapy services
to children with developmental delays and disabilities, ages birth to 3. She explained these children have
barriers to learning and the staff of Little Red Schoolhouse is comprised of occupational and physical
therapists, speech pathologists, and early intervention special educators who will receive additional
training as a result of this grant. She displayed photographs of children who attend the Little Red
Schoolhouse, noting the advances early intervention and new techniques provide. She thanked the City
for the grant on behalf of the children and families at the Little Red Schoolhouse. She provided
brochures and newsletters regarding their program and encouraged anyone who could use their services
to contact the Little Red Schoolhouse.

thways f04 Councilmember Earling presented a $2,000 grant to Pathways for Women. Melody Gillespie, Regional
omen Director of Pathways for Women YWCA, explained since December 1995, Pathways has been the
regional branch in Snohomish County for YWCA for Seattle, and King and Snohomish Counties.
Pathways previously existed as a stand -alone agency for approximately 20 years. She explained their
mission is to advance the quality of life of women and their families of all ages, races, and faiths by
providing services that will help to meet basic needs, promote self - sufficiency, reduce violence, and to
achieve equal opportunities for all people. In south Snohomish County, they provide emergency shelter
services for homeless single mothers with children, most of whom have been victims /survivors of
domestic violence within the past year and most of their children have been victims of some form of
neglect or abuse. She said they also have a homeless prevention program in south Snohomish County
that is operated in partnership with the Family Support Center of Lynnwood, a service the grant funds
will allow them to continue to provide. She said during a year, Pathways for Women serves
approximately 4,000 people throughout Snohomish County. She thanked the City for the grant which
would help improve lives, return homeless women to the workplace and their own homes, and to
stabilize children in school.
Edmonds in Councilmember Earling presented a $3,000 grant to Edmonds in Bloom. Josephine Fye, President of
Bloom Edmonds in Bloom, explained it is a beautification program. Their goal is to promote the Edmonds
community locally, regionally, and nationally as a city to visit that is full of flowers, and has civic pride.
She said Edmonds in Bloom began with a friendly, community-wide competition that citizens have
indicated draws the community together including friendly competition between blocks and businesses.
She said the program was started to augment the City program that plants the corners and provides
baskets each year. She pointed out the key was not horticulture, it was bringing color to the City. She
noted the July issue of Sunset Magazine features Edmonds in Bloom.
Councilmember Earling thanked everyone who applied for the grants, noting it was difficult to review
$54,000 in requests, knowing there was only $15,000 to award. Mayor Fahey congratulated the grant
recipients.
Lynndale 6. UPDATE ON LYNNDALE PARK JOINT DEVELOPMENT /SKATEBOARD PARK ELEMENT
Park /
Skateboard
Park Parks and Recreation Director Arvilla Ohlde displayed a map from the Recreation and Open Space
element of the Comprehensive Plan and identified community parks in the City. She explained the
Comprehensive Plan identified the need for a community park in the Perrinville area. She noted there
was also a need for a community park in the new annexed Esperance area. She explained community
parks serve a 1 -2 mile radius, are 15 -20 acres in size, and are designed to have organized recreation, park
and sports programs, and group and family activities. She said Yost Park, Meadowdale fields, and City
Park are examples of community parks. To meet this need, the Park and Recreation element of the
Comprehensive Plan recommended the joint development of Lynndale Park in the City of Edmonds.
During the City Council's discussion at the time the Comprehensive Plan was adopted, a joint partnership
for the development of Lynndale Park (located on the border of Edmonds and Lynnwood) was discussed
and approved.
In 1995 and 1996, Edmonds began to work with Lynnwood to consider Phase II development of
Lynndale Park and a Master Plan for Phase III. She noted Lynndale Park is located along the north side
of Olympic View Drive near a recent annexation to Edmonds. She said the City of Lynnwood purchased
property on the north end adjacent to Olympic View Drive that increases the park to 39 acres. She
displayed the Master Plan for Lynndale Park and described surrounding properties and areas already

developed within the park. In 1995, local youth asked the City to consider constructing a skateboard
park and in 1996, the City Council placed $55,000 into the Park Capital Fund account to begin a
skateboard park. The City Council requested staff consider a partnership with the City of Lynnwood.
She noted statistics indicate 60% of youth between the ages of 10 and 15 are skateboarding, of those 90%
are male. She explained skateboarding is a 30- year -old activity, a long -term recreational activity.
Ms. Ohlde explained over the next two years, staff worked with the police department in both cities, held
joint community meetings, often attended by over 100 youth who assisted in developing the skateboard
park. She said the skateboard park was designed as a concrete street course. Criteria was used to
determine a site for the park, including the need to be located on a bus line, visibility from the street for
security reasons, neighborhood support, and amenities located nearby such as food services, parking,
restrooms, and other recreational activities. Of the four potential sites identified, Lynndale Park in the
Perrinville area was recommended. She displayed the skateboard park design entitled Borderline (after
the skateboard store in Lynnwood that assisted youth with the design), explaining it is approximately 45
x 180 feet and includes two banks, two pyramids, a rounded jumping area, a ramp stage, stairs, railings,
etc. She said the park was designed to be used by both in -line skaters and skateboarders.
Ms. Ohlde explained last year, a grant was requested for matching funds from the Interagency
Committee (IAC). The Lynndale Park ranked 24 out of the 54 projects submitted but because funding
for these projects was very limited, only seven projects were funded. This year when staff considered
how to get the project to score higher and comparing it to the competition, it was felt the project likely
would not score low enough to receive grant funds and a decision was made by the Lynnwood and
Edmonds Park and Recreation Directors not to seek state matching funds. One of the reasons was if the
cities received matching funds, the facility could not be built until the end of 2000 or early 2001 because
the funding is provided after the legislative session in July 1999 and an 18 -month delay was not
recommended. She and the Lynnwood Park and Recreation Director made a decision to recommend the
City Councils to move the project forward via an interlocal agreement.
Ms. Ohlde said the total cost of the project is $710,000, which will be divided between the two cities.
She explained the items that would be included in the Phase III design would be parking, restrooms,
group picnic areas, a playground, pathways and landscaping, a basketball playcourt, and the skateboard
park. Grading, landscaping, picnic areas, and trails would be added on the northwest end and the service
road would remain. She said future funding would complete the parking, add another restroom, and
another picnic area. She said the projected time line would be completion of plans and specifications in
September, bidding process and contract award in October, construction from November through June,
and the skateboard park would open in June, 1999. She explained the interlocal agreement lists
Lynnwood's duties as the project manager, annual maintenance, and 50% share of the construction.
Edmonds would provide 50% of the construction costs and an annual maintenance contribution of
$5,000. There is a verbal agreement between the Police Chiefs of the two cities to work together to do
police enforcement of the site. She noted the Lynnwood City Council indicated their support of the
interlocal agreement at their June 15 meeting and placed it on their Consent Agenda for approval next
week. She said the Meadowdale fields are a glowing example of cooperation in construction and
management between Edmonds and Lynnwood and Lynndale Park can be another example of this
cooperation. She recommended the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the interlocal agreement
with the City of Lynnwood and provide funding for Phase III improvements at Lynndale Park.
Council President Haakenson asked if the Meadowdale Playfields were a 50/50 project. Ms. Ohlde
answered yes, it was a project completed in a number of 50150 phases. She noted the Meadowdale
Playfields was one of the leading projects in the State of Washington because of the cooperative effort.

She noted large athletic complexes are not always an opportunity for cities that are highly developed
with little available land, therefore cooperative agreements work well.
Council President Haakenson asked where the Meadowdale Playfields were located. Ms. Ohlde
answered Lynnwood.
Councilmember Earling agreed with Ms. Ohlde's assessment of the Meadowdale fields as a glowing
example of what can be done on a cooperative basis. He observed reference had been made to Lynndale
Park being outside the City but in fact was located across the street from areas recently annexed to
Edmonds. He noted although Lynndale Park was not in downtown Edmonds, the City's geographic
boundaries are irregular and long and citizens in north Edmonds would benefit from Lynndale Park. He
noted speakers from around the area indicate the skateboard park would be a regional facility. He
observed Edmonds is often criticized as not being youth oriented; this was an example that Edmonds
cared about youth and families.
COUNCILMEMBER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN
HOLLEBEKE, TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
WITH THE CITY OF LYNNWOOD TO PROVIDE JOINT FUNDING FOR PHASE III
IMPROVEMENTS AT LYNNDALE PARK.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke said the skateboard park represented a win -win situation for the citizens
of Edmonds and Lynnwood as park space in that area of Edmonds is under- represented. He pointed out
the improvements would include not only the skateboard park but also restrooms and picnic areas and
would enhance a very nice facility.
Council President Haakenson clarified the reason he asked what city the Meadowdale field was located
in was to point out it represented an example of regional cooperation in south Snohomish County.
Councilmember White spoke in favor of the action and thanked those who spoke at this meeting as well
as previous meetings.
Councilmember Plunkett described his involvement with skateboarding 32 years ago. He said he was
not opposed to the skateboard park but pointed out this facility was associated with $300,000 in
improvements for parking, picnic and restrooms facilities. He referred to a memo from the Lynnwood
Parks Department that stated the disadvantage of the Lynndale Park site was that there was no parking,
no picnic areas, no restroom facilities and these improvements will need to be constructed concurrently
with the skateboard park. He said the Enterprise quoted Kathy Johnson, Lynnwood Parks Department,
"the skatecourt itself is not expensive but we need restrooms and parking to support the skateboard park."
Councilmember Plunkett preferred state money or other alternatives existed to develop the skateboard
park and said he would not support this action.
MOTION CARRIED, COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT OPPOSED.
Mayor Fahey expressed her appreciation to the members of the public who expressed their opinions,
which assists the Council in making its decision. She encouraged them to continue to be involved in the
political process.
lary 7. APPROVAL FOR REVISION TO FIVE -YEAR SALARY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
lementa-
n
p n Plan Administrative Services Director Art Housler advised this item was reviewed and approved by the
Comprehensive Human Resources Committee on June 10. The matter was previously reviewed in April
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 16, 1998
Page 11
and postponed due to requests for additional information. He explained the Human Resources
Committee, comprised of Councilmembers Miller, Nordquist, and White, Mayor Fahey, Human
Resources Director Brent Hunter and himself, thoroughly reviewed the information provided in the
Council packet. He referred to Attachment 1, Exempt Employee Positions which illustrates the original
cost of the five -year implementation plan approved by the City Council for the 41 non - represented
employees. He said Attachment 2 illustrates employees who have resigned or retired since the
implementation of the study, 12 have resigned, retired, or expect to retire before the salary
implementation is completed and 2 are at the top of the salary range, a total of 14.
Mr. Housler explained the Human Resources Study was not fully implemented due to affordability in the
Street Fund and General Fund (not the Utility Fund). He referred to the Comparison of Cost in
Attachment 3, noting the implementation cost would have been approximately $40,000 in 1998 if the 37
employees (who are funded from the Street and General Fund) remained. Due to adjusted turnover, the
actual cost for 1998 is $14,340. The recommended two step increase would have been $80,000 for the
37 employees. Due to turnover, the cost now will be $37,200. Therefore, the two step increase can be
done for slightly less than the cost of implementation for one year for the 37 employees. He reiterated
the original purpose of the five -year implementation plan was due to affordability and the fact that there
were 23 employees whose salaries did not meet fair market value. He said the Human Resource
Committee recommended the City proceeds with the two -step implementation on July 1, 1998. This
would not require any additional funding or budget adjustments but would be absorbed by employee
turnover.
Councilmember Nordquist thanked Mr. Housler for following up on this issue.
COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN
HOLLEBEKE, FOR ADOPTION OF THE REVISIONS TO THE FIVE -YEAR SALARY
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. MOTION CARRIED.

Mayor Fahey explained in the current tight labor market, employees are being attracted to the private
sector, which drains resources that are important to the community. She was happy to provide
employees a salary that was commensurate with their ability and to keep them in the City's employ.
Fire Marshal
Job 8. APPROVAL OF FIRE MARSHAL JOB DESCRIPTION
Description
Human Resources Director Brent Hunter explained this was a request for approval of a new job
description for the Fire Marshal. He said the Human Resources Committee reviewed this item last week
and requested it be presented to the full Council for consideration. He explained in the past, the Fire
Marshal and Assistant Fire Chief have had the same job description. Whenever the City has a vacancy,
the job description is reviewed. Fire Chief Haworth recommended the Fire Marshal job description be
changed. He said the technical nature of the job and the workload required a dedicated Fire Marshal.
This change would mean the Fire Marshal would not respond to fire alarms as a command officer and
this would be the responsibility of the Assistant Fire Chief. If approved by the Council, the
recommended pay grade is the non - represented employee salary grade of M -09, two pay grades less than
the Assistant Fire Chief.
Councilmember Nordquist recalled a statement was made at the Human Resources Committee meeting
that the job description was drafted by the Civil Service Commission. Mr. Hunter answered the job
description reflects the qualifications drafted by the Civil Service Commission.
Councilmember Nordquist expressed concern with the limited qualifications for the Fire Marshal
position, commenting the City was encouraging employees to acquire more education but was not
upgrading job qualifications.
COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT
HAAKENSON, FOR APPROVAL OF THE FIRE MARSHAL JOB DESCRIPTION. MOTION
CARRIED.
Mayor Fahey said this proposal was initiated under former Chief Springer. She said there was no plan to
hire a second Assistant Fire Chief. The Human Resource Study indicated a Training Officer position
would be necessary but that also would not be an Assistant Chief position and would not be acted upon
for another year.
Lead 9. AUTHORIZATION TO ESTABLISH AND FUND THE POSITION OF LEAD STO MWATER
Stormwater MAINTENANCE WORKER IN THE STREET DIVISION
Maintenance
Worker
Public Works Director Noel Miller explained the proposal was part of an overall plan to increase the
stormwater maintenance plan for the City to, in part, comply with mandated federal and state clean water
laws as well as anticipated changes to the Endangered Species Act. He said on April 1, 1998, a separate
utility rate was established by the Council, which put in place funding for this proposal. He said the
consultant utilized previous studies, including one done by R.W. Beck in 1991 for a stormwater
maintenance program that would enhance stormwater quality for the City. The overall staffing level
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 16, 1998
Page 13
proposed in these studies was 6.5 FTE with summer help for drainage maintenance. He said the Public
Works Street Division currently has 11 employees under the existing lead worker. The proposal is to
staff an additional three positions which would require another lead worker. The proposal is to have a
lead worker for storm drainage maintenance, which will compliment the existing lead worker for street
maintenance. He displayed an organization chart illustrating the overall staffing plan. This request is
only to establish the lead worker position; during the 1999 budgeting process, an additional two positions
for drainage maintenance and inspections will be budgeted to compliment the existing two workers who
are primarily assigned to the vactor unit. He noted this was discussed with the Community Services
Committee and the Human Resources Committee; the Community Services Committee recommended
the position be established.
Council President Haakenson observed the Human Resources Committee discussed this proposal on June
10 and recommended it be forwarded to the full Council for consideration but did not make a
recommendation.
Councilmember Van Hollebeke said the Community Services Committee reviewed this issue and was
supportive of the request. He noted this position was an important part of the rate increase that was
effective April 1 and the rate increase fully supported the position.
Councilmember White said the Human Resources Committee was not prepared to make a
recommendation as the information had only been provided that morning and they did not have adequate
time to review the information.
Council President Haakenson was uncomfortable voting on a matter the Human Resource Committee
had not provided a recommendation on.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT HAAKENSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PLUNKETT, TO SEND THE ESTABLISHMENT AND FUNDING OF THE POSITION OF LEAD
STORMWATER MAINTENANCE WORKER IN THE STREET DIVISION BACK TO THE
HUMAN RESOURCE COMMITTEE FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION AND A
RECOMMENDATION. MOTION CARRIED, COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE
OPPOSED.
9A. REPORT ON COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Community Community Services Committee
Services Committee Member Van Hollebeke reported the Community Services Committee reviewed the proposed
Committee
amendment to ECDC 16.20.010.C.1 pertaining to regulations governing the location of community
facilities in single family zones. He explained a large audience participated in a nearly 1% hour
discussion including a summation from City Attorney Scott Snyder, input from Planning Supervisor Jeff
Wilson, Mayor Fahey, and Council President Haakenson. He said Mr. Snyder stressed if this issue was
brought back to the Planning Board, a broad -base approach should be taken. The committee
recommended the Council deny the amendment proposed on May 19 hearing and reinitiate the planning
process to develop a new ordinance. The committee also considered the Uniform Building Code and
recommended adoption on the Consent Agenda (Item J). The committee discussed stormwater program
resources needs, and was provided an update on the Interim Water Group status. He complimented City
Engineer Jim Walker and his department for keeping the Council updated on options. He noted the City
of Edmonds is fortunate to have two water sources.

onference conference in Tacoma today and would return to the conference tomorrow. She would also be out of
town Saturday, June 20 until Tuesday, June 23 to attend the Conference of Mayors.
City Park Mayor Fahey referred - to correspondence provided to the Council, including a letter regarding the
assessment of facilities in City Park and the history of the decision - making process. She advised a
consultant has been hired to analyze traffic in the park to assist in making a decision on the best way to
address vehicle movement in the park taking both safety and ingress /egress needs into consideration.
125 Fund Mayor Fahey said a memo was provided to Councilmember Plunkett and copied to other
Councilmembers regarding the uses of the 125 Fund, potential funding available to address parking
needs, and an update of groups that have been meeting with staff regarding identifying solutions to
parking.
Mayor Fahey said a letter was also sent in response to an inquiry regarding the siting of the pool at
Siting of the I Edmonds - Woodway High School. She stressed no decision has been made; the City is not demanding
Pool J the pool be placed at the Edmonds - Woodway site, it has been a long standing offer as it was felt the pool
would be an amenity that would be valuable to the students. If the current Edmonds - Woodway Council
decides not to site the pool there and remove it from their Master Plan, the City will continue looking for
other locations.
rt Festival Mayor Fahey encouraged the public to attend Art Festival activities as well as the newly dedicated
sculpture at Brackett's Landing South. She expressed her appreciation to the Arts Festival Museum
