Through negotiations and discussion with the Fire Department, the City has acquired an appropriate site. COUNCILMEMBER WHITE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE, TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE OF THE SITE FOR AN AMOUNT NOT -TO- EXCEED $480,000. Councilmember White explained the funds for acquisition are within the bond funds voted upon by the citizens together with interest on those moneys. No additional expenditure from the General Fund is necessary. He said this is an appropriate site to serve the northern portion of the City and is more appropriate than the existing site. MOTION CARRIED. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 18, 1999 Page 2 0 3b. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING BOARD REGARDING AN APPLICATION FOR A "CONTRACT REZONE" OF AN APPROXIMATELY 8,602 SQUARE FOOT LOT (.20 ACRES) FROM RS -6 TO RM -3 TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITIONAL DETACHED RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNIT ON THE SUBJECT SITE. THE. PROPOSED CONTRACT REZONE STIPULATES ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTIONS ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. THE SUBJECT PROJECT IS LOCATED AT 403 3P-D AVENUE NORTH. (Applicant: Doug Herman / File No. R -98 -207) ontract Mayor Fahey asked if any Councilmembers wished to make any disclosures. Councihnember Earling Rezone at advised his firm was the listing agent on behalf of Mr. Herman for the adjacent property 3 -4 years ago 03 and Ave but did not feel this would impact his participation. Mayor Fahey asked if there were any challenges to the participation of any Councilmember. There were no challenges. Planner Kate Galloway explained the applicant, Douglas Herman, submitted an application for a contract rezone for the property located at 403 3' Avenue North. The request is to upzone the property from single- family residential, one unit per 6,000 square feet, to multi - residential, one unit per 3,000 square feet, with the intent of constructing one additional single- family dwelling on the site that would be accessible from the alley. She advised this was reviewed by the Planning Board and a public hearing was held on April 28, 1999 (Exhibit 5). Following deliberation, the Planning. Board recommended approval of the rezone on the basis of the conclusions listed in the Planning Advisory Report (pages 2 -7 in Exhibit 2). She said the Planning Board found the rezone was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, consistent with the Zoning Ordinance, and although the character of the area has not changed significantly, the proposal would be consistent with the policies and goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends the Council adopt the Planning Board's recommendation, approve the contract rezone and direct staff to prepare an ordinance amending the zoning map. She advised a letter was received on May 13 from Agnes Beresford in opposition to this application. Ms. Galloway displayed a zoning map and identified the subject property and surrounding uses. She displayed a copy of the Comprehensive Plan designation, pointing out the multiple residential, high density designation. Mayor Fahey asked how a contract rezone affected the building setbacks and height restrictions. Ms. Galloway answered the current zoning would allow 5 -foot, side setbacks; 20 -foot, front yard setback; and 15 -foot, rear setback. The multifamily RM -3 zone allows a minimum setback of 15 feet, sideyard setback of 15 feet, rear setback of 15 feet, maximum height of 25 feet unless a modulated roof design is proposed, which would allow a maximum of 30 feet. She explained the maximum height in the existing zone is 25 feet. Applicant Douglas Herman, 403 31 Avenue N, Edmonds, clarified setbacks in the RM -3 zone are 5 on the side, 20 on the front and 15 for the rear. He said the RM -1.5 is 15 on the side and 15 on the rear and 25 on the front. He said the RM -3 zone gets the "benefit" of the RS -6 zone setbacks. He explained he did the project next door, a few on 3rd Avenue South, and several other houses in the City. He explained if the existing house was demolished, five houses could be constructed on this site. By using a contract rezone, the project will look like a detached. duplex; the house in the rear will be new and the house in front will be remodeled to look similar to the house in the rear so that it looks like one project. The house on the rear portion is 26%2 feet high, 3d /2 feet shorter than it could be. The house will be accessed from the alley and will create no more traffic than construction of a double car garage. He suggested the City consider creating a transition between high density and single family. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 18, 1999 Page 3 Mayor Fahey opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. There were no members of the audience who wished to address the Council. Mayor Fahey remanded the matter to Council for deliberation. COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MILLER, TO ADOPT THE PLANNING BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED CONTRACT REZONE AND DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AND BRING BACK AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CITY'S ZONING MAP FOR APPROVAL BY THE COUNCIL. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Scott Snyder advised he would prepare an ordinance as well as a revised contract rezone due to language changes that are necessary. 4. , PUBLIC HEARING ON INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 3248 DECLARING A ZONING MORATORIUM ON ZONING CODE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS RELATING TO THE KEEPING OF ANIMALS ubl'►c xear- Planning Manager Rob Chave explained Ordinance No. 3248 was adopted on April 20, 1999 and ing, zoning suspends any enforcement action that may be counter to the new regulations for a six -month period while orator�um the Council deliberates the current animal regulations and provisions. A public hearing is required after the Council adopts an interim zoning measure and no action is required other than taking testimony. City Attorney Scott Snyder explained the moratorium suspends current enforcement actions but does not undo any decisions or staff actions taken in the past. If the Council maintains the same regulations or enacts stricter regulations, enforcement actions will proceed. If different standards were adopted, those enforcement actions would cease at that time. Mayor Fahey opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. Henry Krist, 3 Park Place, Edmonds, expressed concern with the moratorium as it appears to have been put in place at Mr. Petosa's urging due to his raising of chickens and turkeys. The Planning Board ruled against Mr. Petosa; he appealed their decision and the original decision was upheld. Mr. Krist said last summer or fall, the problem was not merely with the raising-of fowl, although that has been illegal in Edmonds since the 1960's, but also the nuisance (odor and noise) this was of concern to one neighbor, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson. Mr. Krist said this has been an ongoing problem for 6 -9 months and now will be delayed further. He agreed with a moratorium on enforcement of the number of domestic animals or household pets because three may be too few. However, this action appears to be a moratorium on the decision made against Mr. Petosa due to the nuisance caused by his raising of fowl in his yard. He said the packet materials indicate the moratorium does not negate nuisances. He objected to another 60 -day delay. Al Rutledge, 7101 Lake Ballinger Way, Edmonds, said Animal Control staff should be at the Council meeting to provide their recommendation. He was concerned the City was doing away with, animal control regulations and felt all processes in the City should be the same. Hearing no further comment, Mayor Fahey closed the public participation portion of the hearing. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 18, 1999 Page 4 Councilmember White asked Mr. Snyder to repeat his comments that the ordinance does not impact enforcement of nuisances. Mr. Snyder said it does not impact nuisance, dangerous dog or animal control provisions. The ordinance suspends enforcement of zoning code actions such as Mr. Petosa's and use of property for keeping of animals. Councilmember White asked if the enforcement action regarding Mr. Petosa was. a zoning enforcement. issue or a nuisance issue. Mr. Snyder answered it is a zoning enforcement issue. When the six months expires, Mr. Petosa will be required to be in compliance with the new ordinance as written. Councilmember White asked if there has been a determination by a City official that a nuisance exists. Mr. Snyder answered only zoning violations have been determined. Mr. Snyder advised he would prepare findings based on the limited testimony provided and staff reports from the prior action. 5. PUBLIC HEARING - CONTINUED DELIBERATION OF A REQUEST TO VACATE A PORTION OF THE 180TO STREET RIGHT -OF -WAY ADJACENT TO 8615 OLYMPIC VIEW DRIVE !Applicant: Lori Greenleaf/Evans /File No. ST -98 -52 Staff displayed a vicinity map that identified the Greenleaf -Evans property and the right -of -way. os -52 Councilmember Earling advised he would recuse himself as he was not present at the public hearing. Vacation Council President Haakenson said he was present for the public hearing but -not for the vote on the motion for reconsideration. Mr. Snyder advised Council President Haakenson would be allowed to participate as the motion for reconsideration was an interim procedural action. City Attorney Snyder summarized Ms. Greenleaf - .Evans' reconsideration motion, explaining the issue for reconsideration is the number of lots that could be created. Ms. Greenleaf -Evans' property currently has sufficient square footage to subdivide into two lots; the previously approved vacation would add sufficient square footage to subdivide the property into three lots. However, the Council's decision specified as part of the consideration for the vacation that development rights for the parcel be waived. Ms. Greenleaf -Evans is amenable to waiving development rights to the third lot that would be created by the vacation but wants to retain their existing development right to develop a second lot, subject to zoning, etc. Applicant Lori Greenleaf -Evans explained they plan to build a single- family residence on the property and do not plan to subdivide the property. That was the reason she was previously amenable to waiving their development rights. However, the lot to the west has approximately 32,000 square feet and could subdivide their property into two lots in the future. If the City vacates the remainder of the right -of -way to the west and east of their property, adjacent properties would be able to subdivide into three lots while she (Ms. Greenleaf - Evans) has given up their development rights. She preferred there not be three houses on the adjacent properties and wanted to protect the ability to subdivide their property into two lots for future generations. She reiterated they plan to build a single - family residence, fairly centralized on the property. Council President Haakenson asked Ms. Greenleaf -Evans if she was under the impression when she first came before the Council that the property was not subdividable into two lots. Ms. Greenleaf -Evans answered she was told by the Planning Department they could subdivide into two lots based on the RS- 1200 zoning. Following the Council's decision, she realized they had given up all development lots by acquiring the additional 30 feet of right -of -way. Council President Haakenson observed Ms. Greenleaf - Evans was agreeable to all the terms established at the public hearing but would like to be able to subdivide the property into two lots. Ms. Greenleaf -Evans clarified they would like to retain the Edmonds City.Council Approved Minutes May 18, 1999 Page 5 development rights they currently have, which allows them to subdivide the property into two parcels in the future. She was agreeable to waiving the right to the third lot. She asked if there was a method to prevent the adjacent properties from subdividing into three lots if the remainder of the right -of -way is vacated. Council President Haakenson said the Council could address her property but not other properties Mr. Snyder advised no public comment would be taken as the record was fixed at the prior bearing. Councilmember White recalled the price established for reasonable appreciation and market value of the property based on the vacation of 30 feet did not take into account the concept of subdividing the property. Mr. Snyder answered Ms. Greenleaf -Evans is amenable to waiving development rights created by the vacation, which lowers the value of the vacation. Councilmember Miller asked whether limiting the ability to subdivide reduced the value of the vacated portion. Planning Supervisor Jeff Wilson commented that the value was determined by considering the assessed valuation rather than an appraisal. In past vacations, value has been determined based on what the vacation adds to the property, i.e. whether a bigger house could be constructed, whether there was more flexibility on placement of the home, how the vacation affects views, etc. In this case, an appraisal has not been done to determine what value may be derived from acquiring the additional property. Councilmember Miller recalled the land value varied from $0.36 to $6.08 per square foot. Mr. Wilson answered the $0.36 value was the value per square foot of the subject property (Lot 3). The $6.08 per square foot is the value of Lot 1 and a third value slightly over $3.00 per square foot was determined based on another property. Mr. Wilson said there was no consistency between the values per square foot for property located in the same area. Councilmember Miller asked if a formal appraisal was necessary to determine the value of the property. Mr. Wilson said his concern is that there has not been a clear establishment of the value of the vacation to the property. He said staff agreed to consider the assessed value in this instance because at the previous hearing the applicant agreed to waive all subdivision possibilities for the property. Mr. Snyder said the $3,562 valuation was determined by the square footage of the vacated property based on the low -end figure of the assessed valuation. It does not take into account the value the vacation adds to the property but Ms. Greenleaf -Evans has offered to waive that. Mr. Snyder agreed if development rights are included in this matter, the property should be appraised. Councilmember Plunkett observed Mr. Wilson and Mr. Snyder's opinions differed. Mr. Wilson explained in recent vacations the benefit derived has been considered when determining the valuation. He said the benefit is not limited to whether the property can be subdivided but also whether it provides a larger building pad for a larger house, whether it provides opportunities to locate the house where they may be able to take advantage of view, etc. Councilmember Plunkett asked if staff recommended an appraisal be done. Mr. Wilson answered with the ability to subdivide the property, considering the assessed value per square foot may not be an adequate indicator of the property or additional value that may be derived from vacation. Councilmember White asked what criteria should be used to establish a price for this property. Mr. Snyder answered the Council has a great deal of legislative discretion. Many cities routinely vacate Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May i8,1999 Page 6 unused property to get it back on the assessment rolls. The test is whether there is a rational relationship, a very low standard. Mr. Snyder pointed out he and Mr. Wilson do not disagree but this is a good example of why an appraisal should be done on property prior to Council hearings. Mayor Fahey asked if the entire right -of -way along Lots 1, 2 and 3 was being vacated or only the right - of -way adjacent to Ms. Greenleaf - Evans' property. Mr. Snyder answered only the right -of -way adjacent to the Greenleaf -Evans property. Mayor Fahey said the issue raised by Ms. Greenleaf -Evans regarding subdivision rights on adjacent properties is not germane at this time. Mr. Snyder agreed it was an issue to be determined at a later date. Mayor Fahey questioned whether the Council would be setting precedence for future vacations in this area. Mr. Snyder answered the only precedence may be if a resident is willing to waive development rights, further analysis may not be required. COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT HAAKENSON, THAT THE APPLICANT SHALL PAY COMPENSATION TO THE CITY IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,562; SUBJECT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER RELINQUISHING THE RIGHT TO DEVELOP A THIRD LOT BASED UPON THE VACATION. Council President Haakenson pointed out the applicant always had the ability to subdivide. He pointed out the value of this property may not equate to the cost of the appraisal. He said the only view this property may have is of the surrounding trees and the $3,562 would address any ability to build a larger home. He supported the motion. MOTION CARRIED (Councilmember Earling did not participate in the vote). 6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS odway Janet Robertson, 10523 240`h Place SW, Edmonds, presented a report from L & M Echelbarger and veiopment .Sundquist regarding the 40 -acre development in Woodway. She said the report was developed following a public meeting with the Planning Commission in Woodway. She referred to a petition and letter from the residents on their fire lane, which she previously submitted to the City, and expressed concern with the request for an easement on their fire lane. Mayor Fahey asked Ms. Robertson if her only concern was with the use of the fire lane as ingress /egress to the development. Ms. Robertson answered they would accept a locked gate similar to the one into Woodway Meadows but others want construction vehicles to use the fire lane. Mayor Fahey stressed the City has taken a strong position that the fire lane not be used for anything except a designated emergency road and will remain locked. Mr. Snyder agreed. Mayor Fahey stressed the City had no intention of opening the fire lane for common usage by any vehicle other than emergency response vehicles. Marsha Fisher indicated she supported Ms. Robertson's comments. Ordinance Joseph Dray, 21307 Pioneer Way, Edmonds, requested more vigorous enforcement of ordinances Enforcement regarding dog access at Marina Beach Park in the interest of public peace, health, and safety as well as in at Marian consideration of wildlife in Marina . Beach Park. He explained the dog walking area south of the Beach Park petroleum dock is observed by most people. Although signs identify the location of the dog area and that dogs are forbidden from access to the grassy area and beach at Marina Beach Park, he has noticed more people ignoring the signs recently. This results in more dogs and fecal matter on the grassy area. Polite reminders to these people often result in ridicule and their reference to the many other dogs on the grassy area. He recommended the City patrol Marina Beach Park more frequently, particularly on sunny Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 18, 1999 Page 7 weekend days such as hourly patrols by the Police Department. He requested the individuals patrolling the park issue tickets to violators with some type of penalty. He suggested consideration be given to posting larger signs that clearly state the restrictions. Mayor Fahey said she will pass on his comments to animal control personnel. She commented the City has limited animal control personnel who patrol the entire City. ew Train Al Rutledge, 7101 Lake Ballinger Way, Edmonds, reported there is a new train running to Blaine. He suggested a third train be considered in Edmonds to bring in revenue and tourists. 7. DISCUSSION OF PERFORMING TECHNICAL EVALUATION OF CABLE TV SYSTEM REBUILD COMPLIANCE valuation Council President Haakenson advised the Council adopted Resolution No. 953 on May 4 to conduct a f Cable TV technical evaluation of the cable television system rebuild for compliance with the franchise agreement. stem In response to the Council's questions regarding the cost of that process, Community Services Director Paul Mar provided a memo to the Council indicating the cost of the service would be a not -to- exceed amount of $3,625. Council President Haakenson directed the Council's attention to an e -mail in the Council packet from Rod Stout regarding the Chambers Cable service he receives, which he provided to Mr. Gradwohl for a response. Jack Gradwohl, Area Manager, Chambers Cable, 190 West Dayton, Ste. 201, Edmonds, explained there are approximately 14,000 drops in the City (active and inactive customers). of which 9,000 have been completed leaving 5,000 active and inactive drops to be transferred (approximately 4,000 customers). He said they have 25 installers working every day, completing an average of 200+ drops per day. He estimated they would complete the transfer of all residents in 2 - 3 weeks. Of the 4,000 remaining customers, many are multiple dwelling units rather than single - family homes and can be done very quickly. Councilmember Miller said one of the issues in the e-mail was a question regarding Chambers Cable's previous indication that they would begin the transfer in the north area of the City. This resident lives in the Meadowdale area and has not had his service transferred. Mr. Gradwohl explained their initial plan was to begin in the north and work south; however, PUD activation of the power supplies did not allow this. Further, the grading for a short plat in Node 105 will destroy the plant Chambers recently installed in that area. Therefore, Chambers has delayed activation of that node until the developer completes that project. Councilmember Van Hollebeke said it appears the completion date is a moving target. He asked when the hook -ups would be complete. Mr. Gradwohl answered they are hoping to have it done in the 2 - 3 week period. He explained as service at each house is transferred, it must be evaluated on an individual basis. Sometimes, only a transfer from the old to the new system with a small amount of work at the ground block is necessary, which is simple and fast. Other houses require replacement of the area drop because it does not carry the signal, and in other situations underground drops must be replaced. Councilmember Van Hollebeke asked how many hook -ups have been completed since the last Chambers Cable presentation. Mr. Gradwohl answered at the time of his last presentation (three weeks ago), they had 6,000 drops remaining. Since then, they have transferred service for 3,000 more homes, approximately 1,000 per week. He said additional work crews have been brought in since that time to increase the number of transfers. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 18, 1999 Page 8 Councilmember Van Hollebeke asked if citizens are charged for the new service before they are transferred. Mr. Gradwohl answered no, they are charged the old rate for the old service until the new service is provided. Councilmember Van Hollebeke asked what the latest date Chambers Cable anticipated the project will be completed. Mr. Gradwohl answered four weeks maximum. Councilmember Van Hollebeke said that would be June 15 - 18. Mayor Fahey asked if every house currently being serviced by cable will be upgraded. She said one of her neighbors was told by Chambers Cable that the system upgrade only comes as far as the public road and any upgrades of the system to houses on a private road must be done by the individual. Mr. Gradwohl disagreed, explaining Chambers is responsible for upgrading all service unless they are refused access by the owners of the private road. Councilmember Earling asked when the penalty period would begin if Chambers Cable is found to be out of compliance. Mr. Snyder answered it would be a minimum of 30 days because the penalties do not commence until 30 days after the date established in the franchise. He said this would be further delayed by the required notice and hearing. In order for the consultant's reports to be valuable to the Council, it will need to provide an opinion as of the 30"' day and a hearing held the next week. At $500 per day, the maximum penalties that could be assessed, given Mr. Gradwohl's estimated completion date, would be two weeks or $7,000. Council President Haakenson said the franchise agreement was dated April 16 and the Council allowed an additional ten so the 30 days would expire May 26. Councilmember White pointed out that date also assumed that the consultant agrees the project is not complete by installation of the physical plant versus making the actual drops: Mr. Snyder agreed the consultant would need to determine what is the customary usage in the industry. Mr. Snyder commented the estimated consultant cost did not include testimony time for presenting his report to the Council. Councilmember White said if the Council accepts the expected completion date, the best possible gain for the City would be $3,500 if the consultant finds the system was not complete by the specified date. Councilmember White said he was not convinced Chambers had not met their obligation according to the language in the franchise agreement and, therefore, was not inclined to spend $3,600 on a consultant. Councilmember Van Hollebeke agreed with Councilmember White. Although he would have preferred Chambers completed the project a month ago, they have demonstrated a strong attempt to get it done. COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MILLER, TO EXTEND DISCUSSION OF THIS ITEM FOR FIVE MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Miller shared Councilmembers White and Van Hollebeke's concerns but also felt Chambers needs to be held to the contract. He requested staff provide a weekly update to the Council on Chambers' progress. If it appears Chambers will miss their targeted completion date of June 15 -18, it may be advisable to hire a consultant at that time. If the project can be completed by mid -June, he preferred not spending money on a consultant. Councilmember Earling said if there is no motion, the action dies. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 18, 1999 Page 9 I 8. FIRE DEPARTMENT TWO IN/TWO OUT COMMAND OFFICER PRESENTATION ' I Two-In / Acting Fire Chief Kevin Taylor said the Fire Department thanked the Council for the action regarding Two-Out . Station 16. Rule Chief Taylor referred to WAC 296 - 305- 05001, the "2 In 2 Out Rule" and explained the purpose of tonight's presentation was to provide an overview of current operations, educate the Council on legal changes which significantly change the fire department operations, show what comparable jurisdictions have done in response to the same issues, and identify alternatives for Edmonds. He displayed 1998 annual Edmonds Fire Department figures, explaining there has been a continual increase in call load in j recent years, particularly in the past three years. He said the statistics, which were gathered from the computer assisted dispatch records management system (CAD RMS), indicate the Edmonds Fire Department responded to a total of 3,770 calls in 1998. Of those responses, 41.5 were fire dispatches, 85 j were confirmed fires, and 51 were structure fires with some damage. There were 196 significant responses of all kinds such as significant fires, hazardous materials, injury accidents, etc. Chief Taylor described the standard response to a residential structure fire, which includes one command unit, three engines, and one aid unit for a total of 12 -13 fire combat personnel. The standard response to a multifamily or commercial structure fire includes one command unit, three engines, one aid unit, and one ladder truck for a total of 15 -16 fire combat personnel. In response to the question what affect a couple of minutes makes to Edmonds citizens, he described fire growth versus reflex time using National Fire Protection Association data. He explained reflex time is the time it takes the Fire Department to begin operation and cease fire growth. He described the amount of time it takes for rapid increases in temperature and flashover resulting in unrestrained fire growth in approximately 10 -11 minutes. He commented in a sprinkled building, fire growth is greatly reduced. He described times that are indirectly manageable such as the time to detect a fire and the time to report an alarm, which may total 3 - 4 minutes. He described fire system response time, times that are directly manageable, such as the time to dispatch units (goal is one minute but actually is 1' /z minutes), response to the scene (4 - 5 minutes), and set up and attack (60 - 90 seconds). He commented although a 4 5 minute response time sounds good, it is actually 7 - 8 minutes into the response (due to the time to discover and report the fire and dispatch time which results in the Fire Department intervening close to the flashover point. Any delay caused by the three- person engine company waiting for a fourth, fifth and sixth person to arrive has a significant impact on fire growth. Chief Taylor described the Incident Management System (IMS) that is required by law. This includes managing all incidents with an Incident Commander (WAC 296- 305- 05001[1]), use of an Incident ! Safety Officer (WAC 296 - 305- 05001[2,3]), establishing an appropriate span of control with the use of Division Officers /command areas (WAC 296-305-05001[2,31), and staging and rehabilitating firefighters at the scene. He explained communications are recorded which identify the Incident Commander, Incident Safety Officer. He summarized the law requires the Fire Department have the following personnel at a working structure fire: one Incident Commander, one Incident Safety Officer (at significant incidents), a minimum of two people for an Initial Attack/Search Team, two people for a second attack/ventilation team, two people for a rapid intervention team, one accountability /aide, one person managing staging/rehabilitation, two. medical rescue /miscellaneous. backup, for a total of 12 i members to extinguish a "typical" house fire prior to flashover. (Councilmember Earling left the meeting at 8:45 p.m.) Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 18, 1999 Page 10 Chief Taylor explained the delivery of fire and emergency medical service is becoming more complicated and more expensive. He explained the fire service has unique rules, identified as WAC 396 - 305 "Safety Standards for Firefighters." The intent of these rules is to make every employee's workplace as safe as reasonably possible. The newest rule is "2 in 2 out," which affects staffing levels in the "front yard" of a fire. The previous WAC allowed a three person engine company to initiate attack and search in the initial stages of a structural fire. This portion of the WAC 296- 305 -5001 was held to be not as restrictive as the OSHA rule, therefore, effective June 1, 1999, the initial engine company is no longer exempt from "2 in 2 out." This means when a three - person engine company arrives at a fire, they must wait outside until the fourth, fifth, and sixth person on the second engine arrive. Because they cannot go in until those personnel arrive, an enhanced fire curve will result. Chief Taylor stressed this is a big difference. When two fire fighters enter any hazardous environment and/or burning structure, or smoke - filled area (almost every fire response); it is now required to have two fire fighters equipped, qualified and ready to perform a rescue of those on the inside if necessary. Exceptions include a known rescue situation such as a victim visible on arrival of the fire department (rare), or investigating incipient (small) fires. Does Edmonds always meet the standard? Chief Taylor said eventually, if enough resources are provided, including automatic aid from nearby jurisdictions. He said many jurisdictions are responding to the "2 in 2 out" issue by increasing mutual aid. He said Edmonds has had very good automatic aid for the past ten years; therefore, no changes are necessary. The issue is how to manage the timeliness of the arrival of the 4' firefighter to meet the "2 in 2 out" rule. He said Edmonds' normal second unit arrival time in 1998 was 2 minutes after the first engine. Chief Taylor described options available to the City including (1) do nothing - do not enter a hazardous area until adequate resources are on the scene to meet the requirements of the "2 in 2 out," (2) adding 4 firefighters to each shift (12 new employees), giving us a staffing level of a 4 person engine company (currently 3). This is what Seattle and other major urban cities are doing, or (3) adding an on -duty command officer to all hazardous incidents (requires 3 additional employees). He said the average response time for a command officer in South County has been 14 minutes because they are often not on duty. An on -duty command officer as part of the response team would enhance the response, but also requires three additional employees. He displayed a chart showing what cities similar to Edmonds' size are doing, commenting many operate with 24 -hour command units (battalion chief). Chief Taylor described the results of each option: Option 1 (continue status quo, do nothing) will result in bigger fires due to delay in attack, increased property damage, reduced viability for trapped occupants, increased danger for firefighters (remember the fire curve); and delayed search and rescue operations increase occupant mortality and injury. The cost for Option 2 (hire 12 firefighters) is $733,000 for year 1, $785,300 for year 2, $839,200 for year 3, $897,950 for year 4, and $924,900 for year 5. Option 3 (assign a command officer, assign three Captains as command officers, promote three Lieutenants to Captain and hire three firefighters) has a cost of $183,250 for year 1, $196,077 for year 2, $209,800 for year 3, $224,490 for year 4, and $231,225 for year 5. Chief Taylor explained the emergency benefits of a command officer such as providing one more emergency unit thereby improving "2 in 2 out" likelihood and marginally improving response times 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year; the ability to serve as an incident commander, incident safety officer, public information officer, EOC staff; responds to all major medical incidents; and provides improved customer service at all levels. He described non - emergency benefits of a command officer such as improved supervision and coordination between the three Edmonds stations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year; assist with training; assigned multi -site commander 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year; liaison with surrounding departments; provide daily contact between operations and fire administration; handle personnel issues Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 18, 1999 Page 11 promptly; and provide improved customer service at all levels. Chief Taylor stressed planned resource responses together with managed reflex times result in successful outcomes. Chief Taylor outlined his recommendation to enhance the Edmonds Fire Department by adding full -time command officer coverage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. He recommended funding this with overtime coverage for the remainder of the year ($129,600 from unanticipated revenues) and review permanent funding as part of the 2000 budget process. He said the $129,600 represents a 2.5% increase in their budget; however, without a Fire Chief, the department is slightly under budget. He reiterated .planned resource responses together with managed reflex times result in successful outcomes. Council President Haakenson thanked Chief Taylor for his presentation, commenting it provides more in -depth information than has been available in the past. Council President Haakenson said at a recent SnoCom meeting, Lynnwood's Acting Fire Chief Olsen complimented Chief Taylor and the Edmonds Fire Department for the way the May 11 fire was handled. Mayor Fahey observed adding command officers would require increasing the rank of three employees. Fire Chief Taylor said it is done now with captains when staffing levels allow but could not be done on a permanent basis without elevating the captains' rank to battalion chief. Mayor Fahey observed the cost for 12 new firefighters (Option 2) averages $61,000 per firefighter. She observed Option 3, adding three full -time command officers, is also approximately $61,000 per person and questioned whether it would j be more per person to elevate the rank of existing personnel. Chief Taylor answered the cost of elevating an employees' rank costs far less than hiring a new employee. He explained entry level firefighters earn approximately $40,000 per year in addition to costs for equipment and uniforms for a total of approximately $45,000 each. The estimate of $61,000 for each firefighter in the "hire 12 firefighters" option contains some "fluff" The $61,000 each was accurate for elevating the rank of three employees and hiring three new firefighters. i Councilmember Plunkett asked how often an internal attack occurs that required "2 in 2 out ". Chief Taylor said of the 51 structure fires per year, 8 - 12 (approximately one per month) will be extremely dangerous to employees or civilians and approximately once per year will be a two -alarm fire. Councilmember Plunkett said the Fire Department must be prepared to make that decision (2 in 2 out) many more times than that. Chief Taylor agreed, pointing out they must send the same response to every fire, hazardous .materials, etc. dispatch and be prepared for the "2 in 2 out" environment. Chief Taylor estimated they must be prepared for a "2 in 2 out" situation approximately every other day. Councilmember Plunkett referred to the personnel required at each fire (12 members) and said a lay person may question why Edmonds does not meet the "2 in 2 out" standard with all those people there. He said the state statute requires those 12 people be assigned to specific tasks. The "2 in 2 out" is the initial attack/search team and rapid intervention and other personnel cannot participate. Chief Taylor said there are some exceptions when not all personnel have arrived. He said although the rapid intervention team is the best for employee and citizen safety, the pump handle operator (if outfitted properly) can count as one member of the "2 in 2 out" and the Incident Commander can count as another. This is only practiced in the opening moments of a fire. Councilmember Plunkett clarified all the personnel have assigned duties; just because there are 1.2 employees, the department may not be able to fulfill the "2 in 2 out" requirement in an acceptable manner. Chief Taylor said although they respond with 1.2 people and will eventually meet "2 in 2 out" every time, it could be improved by enhancing the pre- response package. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 18, 1999 Page 12 Councilmember Plunkett asked what would happen to Incident Commanders if the City consolidated fire service. Chief Taylor said if a merger occurred, the battalion chiefs could be used to oversee fire stations. Councilmember White asked how Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood were addressing "2 in 2 out." Chief Taylor answered they must abide by the same rules, not go in until a second unit is present. He said Mountlake Terrace has some funding restrictions and currently has some 2- person engine companies. Lynnwood staffs at the same level Edmonds does but does not have 24 -hour command officers. He did not believe Lynnwood would react with the same proposal as Edmonds but would wait until the end of the year. He noted Edmonds Fire Department is the largest of the three cities. Councilmember White pointed out this action is necessary to protect fire department employees and citizens, not because the WAC requires it. Councilmember White said the Council relies on Chief Taylor's expertise and recommendation and their decision is not based on the WAC. Chief Taylor said it is a real option to do nothing and some jurisdictions cannot meet the standard for budgetary reasons. Edmonds is close to meeting the "2 in 2 out" with a reasonable budget allocation. Mayor Fahey said Edmonds has three fire stations and, therefore, has more firefighters on duty than either Lynnwood or Mountlake Terrace. She observed Lynnwood has a larger geographic area and, at least during the day, a larger population than Edmonds, yet they do not staff as well or have as many stations as Edmonds. She asked if Edmonds was carrying a slightly heavier share of the burden of back up support to Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace because they cannot meet the standards. Chief Taylor said the City gives more service than it gets. The relocation of Station 16 will enhance service in that area. He said emergency response in north Edmonds is not usually provided by Edmonds; with the relocation of Station 16, service by Edmonds Fire Department will increase but the disparity will also increase. COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WHITE, TO EXTEND DISCUSSION OF THIS ITEM FOR TEN MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED (Councilmember Earling was not present for the vote). Councilmember Van Hollebeke asked if there was a way to meet the "2 in 2 out" with mutual aid. Chief Taylor stated that although the average arrival time of the second unit is 2 -5 minutes, there are times that unit is not Edmonds Fire Department. He said there is nothing that can be done to improve response times for the existing automatic aid, it is the best it can be. Councilmember Miller said the consequences of not making a change in the level of service is the key issue. He said increased time is a safety issue for citizens as well as fire service personnel. He supported the proposed method to meet the "2 in 2 out" rule as the most cost effective manner of doing so. COUNCILMEMBER MILLER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WHITE, TO AUTHORIZE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO FUND A 24 HOUR COMMAND RESPONSE UNIT UTILIZING UNANTICIPATED REVENUE FUNDING FOR THE REMAINDER OF 1999 AND REVIEW PERMANENT FUNDING AS PART OF THE 2000 BUDGET PROCESS. MOTION CARRIED (Councilmember Earling was not present for the vote). Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 18, 1999 Page 13 9. PROCLAMATION IN RECOGNITION OF PUBLIC WORKS WEEK MAY 16 - 22 1999 ubuc I Mayor Fahey explained the week of May 16 - 22, 1999 . has been designated as National Public Works Forks wee Week to recognize the accomplishments of Public Works employees. She said a celebration is held for the Public Works employees for camaraderie and recognition of what they do for citizens. Mayor Fahey read a proclamation declaring the week of May 16 - 22, 1999 as Public Works Week. Public Works Director Noel Miller said the Washington State Insurance Authority recognized they are doing a good job by the below average number of claims the City has received. He expressed appreciation for the Council's support and invited them to attend the Public Works luncheon on May 19 at the Public Works facility. Councilmember Van Hollebeke acknowledged the work Public Works does for the citizens. He I commented the Public Works employees are fiercely proud of their jobs and are the unsung heroes of the City. He asked Mr. Miller to convey the Council's appreciation to the Public Works staff. Mayor Fahey commented Public Works is performing an additional function with regard to stormwater . processing and maintenance as a result of federal mandates. The City is ahead of the curve in this area due to Mr. Miller's foresight and direction. Councilmember Plunkett commented a number of residents have mentioned how much they appreciate the work the Public Works department does. 10. REPORT ON COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS Shell Valley Public Safety Committee Emergency Committee member Plunkett advised the committee discussed the Shell Valley Emergency Road issue. [toad Issue A private property owner is not willing to allow survey of a future right -of -way in the area; therefore the committee suggested Police Chief Hickok talk to Engineering about the possibility of providing access M a from Yost Park to Shell Valley. The second item of discussion was the purchase of a multimedia projection system and the committee agreed to have this item placed on the Consent Agenda. Police Chief Hickok next provided an update on the 800 MHz system. The committee also considered two 800 MHz proposals regarding misuse of the 911 system. The committee accepted the draft ordinance that ystem institutes a progressive fine for misuse of the 91.1 system, which will be placed on a future Consent Agenda. 11 Misuse Mayor Fahey explained residents must call 911 to report an emergency or non - emergency that requires ra;nanus police or fire services because that is how dispatch is coordinated in the three -city area. There is no way for the fire or police administration to dispatch a response. When residents call, they are asked if it is an emergency or non - emergency situation. If it is an emergency, response is more instantaneous and non - emergencies are handled on an availability basis. Some residents have indicated non - emergencies are emergencies to get a quicker response. kl head Community Service/Development Services Committee epairs Committee member Van Hollebeke said the committee discussed mid - waterfront design concepts for bulkhead repairs. There is a plan in place to repair the bulkheads along the waterfront and construct a continuous walkway from North Brackett's landing to the marina. Various bulkhead repairs are chool Dist. underway. The second item discussed by the committee was an Interlocal Agreement for the Old nterlocal Woodway Elementary Playfield, which was placed on the Consent Agenda for authorization. Next, a Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 18, 1999 Page 14 I icSafety I progress report on the Public Safety construction project was provided, indicating the project is on Project budget and slightly behind schedule. Since the project is nearly completed, the committee recommended the remaining progress reports be given to the entire Council at the monthly work meeting. The committee then discussed the biological assessment for federal aid projects such as the Highway 99 Hwy 99 project. The report prepared indicates there is no effect for the first phase of the Highway 99 project. Project Concluding the topics was a discussion of the potential safety improvements on Railroad Avenue. Councilmember Van Hollebeke said as a result of the ferry loading ramp on Main Street, there is a great Pedestrian deal more pedestrian traffic. Potential solutions are being evaluated, such as an over - crossing of the Ferry Traffic tracks, possibly near the Senior Center. Delinquent Finance Committee ambling Committee member Miller reported the City Attorney recommended changes in the procedures regarding axes businesses delinquent in payment of gambling taxes. The City Attorney will draft a letter to the affected Dump Truck businesses and will attach a copy of the letter to an informational memo to the Council prior to formal urchase action. The committee next reviewed the purchase of a replacement street division dump truck. Due to some unique circumstances in the bidding process, there was only one qualified bidder; therefore, it was Banking recommended this item be presented to the full Council for an explanation of the extenuating ervices circumstances regarding the sole bid. The third item was a discussion of the banking services contract. ontract Five banks responded to the bid request. A recommendation to award the banking services contract to Frontier Bank will be placed on the May 25 Consent Agenda. Next, the committee recommended dvance increasing the advance travel fund to $7,000. Ms. Hetzler then provided an update on the General Fund, ravel Fund advising sales taxes are ahead of last year and should continue on this course due to new car sales in the pdate on City. Utility taxes should be under, sales tax equalization should be $150,000 higher than budget and era] building permits and plan -check fees should exceed budget. Overall, it appears the City will receive d $400,000 more than was originally budgeted. The committee requested an update on these revenues be provided each month. Concluding the meeting, petty cash expenditures were reviewed and approved. 11. MAYOR'S REPORT Fire Station Mayor Fahey thanked the Council for their support and approval of the authorization to move forward Land with the purchase of land for a new fire station in an area that was not originally anticipated. She Purchase explained at the time the Public Safety bond issue was presented, it was believed a new fire station should be constructed on the existing Five Corners site or to the east. The City has been seeking potential sites in that area. Fire Chief Haworth recommended the City consider a location to the north of the Fire Corners station so that the station could serve citizens to the north. This resulted in a delay in the timeline due to the need to evaluate Chief Haworth's recommendation and identify an appropriate location. She appreciated the indulgence of the firefighters who are awaiting a new fire station and working in less than desirable conditions as well as the understanding of the citizens who likely were wondering why no action was being taken with regard to the fire station. She said the sale now needs to be closed and a determination made regarding whether the design can be constructed on that site without modifications. ascadia Mayor Fahey reported on her trip to Victoria for the Cascadia Mayor's Conference, which was attended Mayor's by Mayors of cities throughout the Pacific Northwest. The purpose is to discuss impacts of growth in the Conference area in the future and the possibility of working together to meet. the daily demands of growth without eliminating farm /rural land or open space. She said throughout the Cascade corridor there are 4 million people and it is projected there will be 6 million by 2020. She said the Cascadia group has collaborated on significant advertisements to encourage tourism throughout the area.
