(Appellant: Brad Butterfield & Albert Dykes / File No. AP -99 -187. Applicant: Brad Butterfield / File No. ADB- 99 -33. Property Location: 110 Sunset Ave.l This item was removed from the agenda (action taken under Agenda Item #1). 5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Mayor's Al Rutledge, 7101 Lake Ballinger Way, Edmonds, expressed concern that few members of the Council Ton Meet ng would attend Saturday's meeting. He said in the past such meetings included the Finance Director to answer questions. He expressed his concern with the former Finance Director's 5 -year revenue projections. Mayor Haakenson clarified the meeting Mr. Rutledge was referring to was the Town Meeting he was holding at the Edmonds Theater on Saturday, June 10 at 9:00 a.m. He said the Council was invited and staff would also be present. He said citizens were welcome to attend and ask questions on any, subject although the focus of the meeting would be the budget and priorities citizens would like to have set in the budget in the event expenditure reductions were necessary. Ordinance Roger Hertrich, 1020 Puget Drive, Edmonds, referred to Item L on the Consent Agenda (proposed Amending ordinance amending Edmonds Community Development Code Chapter 20.91 to add a new Section ECDC 20.91 20.91.030 Continuances) and stated his objection to this item being approved on the Consent Agenda Continuance when there had been no public discussion. Mr. Hertrich expressed his appreciation for Councilmember Earling's action regarding his concern with Open Public the perception of a rolling quorum. Mr. Hertrich said it appeared the Council did not understand the Aet Meetings meaning of the Open Public Meetings Act. Mr. Hertrich referred to a January 21, 1999 memo from City Attorney Scott Snyder to Council President Haakenson that stated public business or action includes Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes June 6, 2000 Page 3 discussions, considerations, reviews, evaluations and final actions. Mr. Snyder's memo indicated his feeling regarding rolling quorums was that any discussion held in private that resulted in an action was not appropriate and the Council should refuse to consider an item of public business that could result in an action. Mr. Hertrich said the Council's adoption of Consent Agenda Item L indicated that some discussion took place prior to placing it on the Consent Agenda. He recommended the Council be regularly reminded of the rules. Outdoor on Hall, 818 Bell Street, Edmonds, whose wife owns a store on 5' Avenue, said his only objection to Display of the Planning Board's recommendation regarding outdoor display of merchandise was the requirement for Merchandise merchants to remove all merchandise at night and place it inside the store. He said this was feasible for lightweight merchandise but was not feasible for their merchandise — statuaries, concrete benches, etc. He said the merchants should be able to decide whether to bring the merchandise inside. He commented in four years, none of the merchandise left outside overnight had been stolen or vandalized but was often sold the next day after someone saw it after business hours. He said eliminating this requirement would also allow them to compete with stores who have space in front of their store that was not City property. He urged the Council to consider this issue when reviewing the outdoor display of merchandise. Jim Walker, Jim Walker, City Engineer, 1215" Avenue N, Edmonds, advised he accepted a position with the City City of New Castle as their Public Works Director. He said he enjoyed working for the City and with the Engineer - Council and would miss many aspects of his position. Resignation Council President Miller expressed his appreciation for everything Mr. Walker had done for the City and wished him well in his new position. dinance In response to the concerns expressed by Mr. Hertrich regarding the amendment to the ECDC to add a mending new section regarding continuances; passed on the Consent Agenda, Council President Miller said this CDC 20.91 action was recommended by City Attorney Scott Snyder. A draft ordinance was distributed to the Continuance Council at the last Council meeting and there were no comments /concerns expressed by any Councilmember and no discussion had occurred. The item was then placed on the Consent Agenda. He said any Councilmember could have removed the item from the Consent Agenda for further discussion. Elec tion 6. INFORMATION REGARDING 2000 ELECTION DATES FOR SNO -ISLE ANNEXATION OR Election Dates PROPERTY TAX LEVY LID LIFT VOTE FOR POSSIBLE COUNCIL ACTION Administrative Services Director Peggy Hetzler explained during the April 25 Council meeting, the Edmonds Library Board presented their recommendation that the Council consider authorizing a ballot issue for annexation into the Sno -Isle Regional Library System. The Library Board proposed the election be held in conjunction with the September primary. During the April 25 meeting, the Council requested information regarding possible election dates remaining in 2000 as well as information regarding a levy lid lift election for Public Safety. Ms. Hetzler referred to a schedule of election dates prepared by the Snohomish- County Auditor's Office that was included in the Council packet and explained if the Council wished to lace a ballot measure on the September ballot, the Council must approve a resolution authorizing the election by August 4. She said the Snohomish County Auditor's Office also requested the City inform them by June 14 whether any special ballot measures would be placed on the primary or general election ballot. Ms. Hetzler explained if the Council chose to place a measure on the ballot for annexation to the Sno -Isle district and if the election was successful, the annexation would not be effective until January 2002. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes June 6, 2000 Page 4 However, a levy lid lift election, conducted anytime during 2000, would be effective January 2001. She said both elections required only a simple majority vote for approval and no voter turnout requirement. As an alternative to annexation into the Sno -Isle District, staff explored the option of a levy lid lift. The benefit of this option was a tax rate of $0.34 per $1,000 of assessed valuation versus the Sno -Isle rate of $0.50 per $1,000. She said since the initial discussions, interest had been expressed by citizens regarding a dedicated levy lid lift for Public Safety versus the library. She explained the City's total Public Safety costs were approximately $10.3 million. Total property tax revenue for 2000 was $8.6 million. Assuming property tax revenue should at least cover the cost of Public Safety, a case could be made that a levy lid lift in the amount of the shortfall ($1.7 million) could be structured at a rate of $0.53 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Ms. Hetzler said staff was seeking direction from the Council regarding whether to advise the Snohomish County Auditor that the City was considering special ballot measures for the primary or general election. Councilmember Plunkett referred to Ms. Hetzler's comment "assuming that property tax revenue should at least cover the cost of public safety," and said that was a huge assumption. He asked if there was any legal or financial requirement for property taxes to cover the cost of public safety. Ms. Hetzler answered no, it was one scenario. Councilmember Petso asked the cost to place a measure on the ballot. Ms. Hetzler answered the cost of a special election was approximately $40,000. The estimated cost for the primary or general election was unknown at this time as the cost was based on the number of ballot measures proposed and the entities proposing them. She said it would be significantly less than $40,000. Councilmember Earling asked if Snohomish County was seeking information whether the Council may be bring forward an election issue or the specifics of the issue by June 14. Ms. Hetzler answered Snohomish County asked for the number and type of issues being proposed. City Clerk Sandy Chase agreed Snohomish County was only seeking the number of ballot measures by June 14. Councilmember Earling asked what necessitated the June 14 deadline. Ms. Chase answered that was the deadline established by the Snohomish County Auditor and presumed it was to determine the space requirements in the local voters pamphlet. Councilmember Earling observed the June 14 deadline did not have the same legal requirements as the August 4 deadline. Ms. Hetzler and Ms. Chase agreed. Councilmember Earling observed the deadline could be missed slightly. Councilmember Earling preferred annexation into the Sno -Isle District and the levy lid lift be discussed at the Mayor's Town Meeting this Saturday and objected to making a decision before that discussion took place. Mayor Haakenson asked how the dates would be affected if I -695 was upheld and the Council chose to place a property tax increase on the ballot. Ms. Hetzler said the only remaining election dates in 2000 were September 19 and November 7 and any election would have to occur on those dates. Mayor Haakenson asked how the information gathered at the Town Meeting would be provided to the Council. Councilmember Earling said it appeared June 14 was a "soft date ", the date Snohomish County would like to know the number of special ballot measures. He said the City could indicate to Snohomish County that the Council was seriously considering some type of issue. Ms. Chase and Ms. Hetzler indicated that would be adequate at this time Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes June 6, 2000 Page 5 �I tdoor 7. REVIEW OF PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION ON OUTDOOR DISPLAY OF play of MERCHANDISE rchandise Planning Manager Rob Chave explained this item was forwarded to the Council by the Planning Board following a lengthy review. He explained the Development Code allowed outdoor displays as a Conditional Use Permit only in certain commercial zones. He acknowledged there were numerous downtown business that had outdoor displays without complaint but technically, it was not allowed. He explained in August 1999, the Council adopted a moratorium on enforcing the prohibition of outdoor displays. The Planning Board considered the issue and prepared a recommendation indicating limited outdoor display should be a permitted secondary use as long as was done in conjunction with an existing legal business operation on the property (a business could not have an outdoor display for merchandise not sold on the property). Other requirements included maintaining a 4 -foot clear space in front of the property if the display was in the public right -of -way; not placing outdoor displays in or on street furniture, parking meters, public signage, planter boxes, etc.; and displays within the public right -of -way required an encroachment permit. He said if the merchandise was not displayed in the public right -of- way, an encroachment permit was not necessary. Mr. Chave referred to the requirement proposed by the Planning Board that displays in the public right - of -way be removed and stored indoors during non - business hours. He said the Planning Board discussed this issue extensively and ultimately included the provision for removal of outdoor displays during non - business hours in their recommendation. Mr. Chave advised the final provision in the Planning Board's recommendation was that all sales transactions occur inside the building. Councilmember Davis referred to the motion made by the Council at the August 3, 1999 meeting establishing a moratorium on enforcement of the current regulations for a period of 180 days. He pointed out the 180 day period had elapsed and asked if the regulations were now being enforced. Mr. Chave answered no enforcement action would be taken without a complaint. Councilmember Davis asked if the moratorium needed to be extended. Mr. Chave said it could be extended but that action would require an ordinance and a public hearing within 60 days. He anticipated this action could be completed within that time period. Councilmember Orvis asked if a sign and display would require two signs. Mr. Chave advised one encroachment permit could address all encroachment activities in the right -of -way as long as all activities were listed on the permit. An additional encroachment permit could potentially be required if other activities were added. He clarified temporary signage (i.e. sandwich board signs) was not covered under this ordinance but could be included in the encroachment permit. Councilmember Orvis asked if the encroachment permit included provisions to revoke the permit if necessary. Mr. Chave answered the encroachment permit could be conditioned if it was. necessary to have the merchandise removed from the public right -of -way. He said if a business did not abide by the conditions of the encroachment permit, it could be revoked under the nuisance provisions. Councilmember White asked the fee for an encroachment permit. Mr. Chave answered $150 and it did not require renewal. Mr. Karber explained the encroachment permit included a legal description of the property, depiction of the right -of -way and encroachment area, and a succinct description of the nature of the encroachment. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes June 6, 2000 Page 6 Councilmember White asked if the $150 fee was related to the cost of administering the encroachment permit. Mr. Chave answered yes. Councilmember White commented the term "decorative items" in ECDC Section 17.65.010(A) might be ambiguous and subject to abuse. He referred to the statement in ECDC Section 17.65.010 (A), "display items shall not include signage which otherwise require a sign permit" and assumed this did not refer to signage on tables. Mr. Chave advised incidental signage would not be regulated. Signage such as an additional sandwich board sign or signage that otherwise would require a sign permit would not be allowed. Councilmember Orvis suggested the second sentence be revised to read, "Display items shall be limited to a sampl@ merchandise sold by the business or decorative items which relate to or complement the business." COUNCIL PRESIDENT MILLER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WHITE, TO SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR JULY 18, 2000. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 8. MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor's Mayor Haakenson encouraged citizens to attend the Town Meeting on Saturday, June 10 at the Edmonds Town Theater at 9:00 a.m. and to provide input regarding the budget and budget priorities for this year and Meeting possibly 3 -4 years in the future. Special Council Meeting Mayor Haakenson advised the Council Committee meetings on June 13 would be held at City Hall to Location accommodate setup for the Arts Festival next week. im Walker, Mayor Haakenson thanked City Engineer Jim Walker for his contributions to the City. Mayor ity Haakenson advised Mr. Walker had accepted the Public Works Director position with the City of New Engineer Castle. 9. COUNCIL REPORTS Council President Miller wished Councilmember Plunkett a Happy Birthday this weekend. He also congratulated Student Representative Maia Krause and wished her well in her future endeavors. Lodging Tax Councilmember Petso (a member of the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee) commented that the funds Advisory for the feasibility study for the Fine Arts Center of Edmonds (FACE) was not General Fund money but Committee came from hotel /motel merchants from overnight stays in the City. She explained there were considerable restrictions on how the funds could be spent. The Committee's next meeting (9:30 a.m., July 20 in the 3`d floor conference room in City Hall) would include developing a draft budget for the Committee's portion of the 2001 budget. She said the Committee's last meeting included a lively discussion regarding the FACE project and the committee members were not unanimous regarding the future of that project but agreed a feasibility study was necessary. Internet Councilmember White reported the recent Snohomish County Tomorrow meeting included a Freedom Act presentation on the Internet Freedom Act that is currently before Congress. He explained this act implemented the prohibition of taxing Internet transactions. He said although this concept made sense as it allowed fledging industries an opportunity to build up, currently 45% of the State's tax budget was generated via sales tax, of that, 1% was generated via retail sales on the Internet. It was conservatively projected that in five years, 6% of retail sales in the State would be via the Internet. This would create a Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes June 6, 2000 Page 7 budget crisis more than twice that currently experienced by I -695. He recommended the long range ramifications of that issue be considered. Student Representative Maia Krause advised school was wrapping up; senior graduation was Saturday and the last day of school was Friday. With no further business, the Council meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m. 44Y HA NSON, MAYOR SANDRA S.
