MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Nordquist noted that he left the meeting early last Tuesday because someone he knew was in critical condition in a Chicago hospital. Councilmember Palmer said he was not directing his comment towards Councilmember Nordquist, but he made the comment because he thought it makes sense as a general policy. City Clerk Jackie Parrett said early departures are usually reflected in the minutes. She said Councilmember Nordquist had spoken to her when he left, but she had not noticed that his depar- ture was not noted in the minutes. PRESENTATION OF RESOLUTION OF COMMENDATION TO STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE BRIAN MASON 4Z4A"*;C� For the audience's benefit, Council President Nordquist explained that the Student Representative 11,W Program was established ten years ago. A student from one of the Edmonds High"Schools is select- ed by his/her classmates to serve on the Council as a nonvoting member for a three-month period. Council President Nordquist presented Student Representative Brian Mason with Resolution 698 commending him for his exemplary dedication and diligence in his work with the Council during his term from February 1990 to June 1990. The Mayor and Council extended their best wishes to Mr. Mason. Councilmember Jaech requested that Mr. Mason be allowed to continue to serve on the Hutt Commit- tee. Mr. Mason said he learned a great deal from the Council. He thanked them for making a great opportunity available to him. AUDIENCE Mayor Naughten opened the audience portion of the meeting. Rick Albreight, 518 - 6th Ave. S., said the Architectural Design Board (ADB) will be reviewing a 'four-plex project on Wednesday night for final approval at 503 - 6th Ave. S. He said he was under the impression that the neighbors were supposed to be notified of the proposal but no one has received any notification. Mr. Albreight requested that final review be postponed until proper notice is given. City Attorney Scott Snyder recommended that Mr. Albreight's concern be referred to Staff so they can review the notification procedure and then determine whether or not the ADB should postpone final review of the project if proper notification was not given. Assistant City Planner Duane Bowman explained that a four-plex is normally considered a minor project and notice is not usually posted. He -suggested that Mr. Albreight attend the. ADB meeting Wednesday night and raise his concern to the Board. He said the Board could decide to continue the matter until mid -June. If the Board proceeded with the review and Mr. Albreight was not satisfied with their decision, Mr. Bowman said he could appeal the matter to the Council. Mayor Naughten closed the audience portion of the meeting. COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO DISCUSS REROOFING OF THE SHELTERS AT THE CITY PARK BEFORE THE MAYOR'S PORTION ON THE AGENDA. HEARING ON PROPOSED ORDINANCE ADDING SECTION 18.95.030 TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE RELATING TO TANDEM RK Community Services Director Peter Hahn reported that on May 22, 1990, the Council briefly dis- cussed the issue of tandem parking, and several Councilmembers appeared to reconsider the April 24 Council vote to prohibit tandem parking. There appeared to be some interest in allowing tan- dem parking under certain conditions. Mr. Hahn said he included materials in the Council packet that were previously distributed to them, as well as a two -page summary of regulations governing tandem parking in other cities. With reference to the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine, Councilmember Palmer stated that there may be people in the audience who may have contributed to past campaigns of his who would speak to the issue before the Council. He said he had no idea who those people may be, and he intended to participate in the discussion unless an objection was noted. No objection was noted. Mayor Naughten opened the public portion of the hearing. No public input was offered. Mayor Naughten closed the public portion of the hearing. Councilmember Kasper thought tandem parking is an essential element in the design of a building because it allows flexibility in the setback adjustments and landscape features. He said larger projects are easier to design than smaller projects because there is more square footage, and it was with that thought in mind that he was in favor of allowing tandem parking. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2 JUNE 5, 1990 COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO ADOPT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE AND INCLUDE THE MODIFICATIONS THAT WERE SUBMITTED BY STAFF, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ITEM 14. Councilmember Hertrich said he did not believe there is any valid reason to allow tandem parking. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if tandem parking is allowed if it is not addressed in the code. City Attorney Scott Snyder said because tandem parking has been allowed in the City in the past, there is a history of Staff interpretation that would be difficult to overcome. In response to a question by Councilmember Jaech, Councilmember Palmer said he has changed his opinion and is now in favor of tandem parking because he believed it could work very well in certain instances. Councilmember Wilson said he was positive that the proposed ordinance has not been well thought out by the Council, and it was his opinion that it would "hurt a lot of people" if adopted. He noted that the issue of tandem parking arose from the remodel of a triplex in the past and the issue has escalated since then into more than it should have. In response to Councilmember Dwyer, Councilmember Kasper said tandem parking will be prohibited If the motion passes unless an applicant can meet the three conditions contained in the memoran- dum of June 5th from Staff. Councilmember Hertrich believed that all parking requirements should be governed by the provi- sions contained in Chapter 18. He noted that the Planning Department has not applied Chapter 18 to parking underneath a building and has allowed tandem parking underneath a building, which.he objected to. Councilmember Dwyer said he was unclear what the motion would accomplish, if passed, because the second sentence in section 1 of the proposed ordinance is inconsistent with the three modifica- tions. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO REOPEN THE DISCUSSION -TO STAFF. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH OPPOSED. Mr. Hahn explained that the proposed ordinance is based on the Council's motion -in April to pro- hibit tandem parking, and the four modifications submitted by Staff are based on subsequent dis- cussions by the Council to reconsider whether or not to prohibit tandem parking. He said those modifications were presented to the Council in April and are simply a tool to assist the Council. With regard to Councilmember Hertrich's concern that tandem parking be governed by Chapter 18, Mr. Snyder said a redraft of the ordinance will include Chapter 18, as well. Councilmember Dwyer inquired if parking requirements would still be subject to ADB review if the ordinance is adopted. Mr. Hahn replied affirmatively. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, COUN- CILMEMBER PALMER, AND COUNCILMEMBER WILSON IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER NOROQUIST, COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, AND COUNCILMEMBER JAECH OPPOSED. HEARING ON PROPOSED SIX -YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Engineering Coordinator Gordy Hyde reported that RCW 35.77.010 requires all municipalities and counties to adopt a Six -Year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) by July 1, 1990. He said projects must be identified in order to obtain State and federal funding. Mr. Hyde noted that maps, as well as sheets, delineating proposed projects were included in the Council packets. He reviewed the 1991 FAUS projects on the overhead projector; a road system of City projects using FAUS funding; projects that other agencies will improve or intend to improve; and projects that are proposed to be accomplished with City funds. Councilmember Palmer noted that the intersection of Highway 99 and 224th is dangerous and is in need of rechannel ization because the through lanes intersect. He requested that that improvement be included in the TIP, if possible. Councilmember Hertrich recommended that a signal at the intersection of Pine Street and SR-104 be installed in anticipation of the possible relocation of the ferry terminal. Mayor Naughten opened the public portion of the hearing. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3 JUNE 5, 1990 Lee Abbott, 658 Maple, expressed concern that the intersection of 212th and 72nd has become a dangerous part of the road in the late afternoon due to Park'N Ride users and the bus system. He requested that a signal be installed at that intersection. Mr. Hyde noted that a signal has-been slated for that intersection in the TIP. Mike Cooper, 820 Maple, recommended that signalization on Olympic View Drive be given a high priority in the interest of safety for the children of the community. He noted that the elementa- ry school will be opening in the fall. Mr. Hyde explained that the students will be unguarded for a year because warrants cannot be met for a light at the present time and funding cannot be obtained. He said he has been working with the School District on an interim solution to safe- guard the children with a pedestrian actuated light supplemented with school crossing guards. Mr. Hyde said the demands may exist for a fully trafficked and pedestrian actuated light after school opens. Mayor Naughten closed the public portion of the meeting. Councilmember Hertrich felt the four-way stop at 9th and Walnut is an inefficient system. He recommended that a light at that intersection be placed as a higher priority than the lights at the intersections of 220th and 100th and 100th and 84th. Mayor Naughten concurred. The Council discussed several options to control the intersection at 9th and Walnut. Mr. Hyde said any sig- nal that is installed in the City would be traffic actuated and not a timed light because it is an antiquated system. Councilmember Hertrich said there are several improvements that can be made to the intersection of 220th and 100th before a light is placed at that location, such as cutting back the foliage, installing channelization, etc., to provide a greater degree of safety. 20% 1990 FOR CENTENNIAL PLAZA BRICKWORK, AND AWARD OF CONTRACT T( _ _RRlST![S ■S Parks & Recreation Division Manager Arvilla Ohlde reported that on May 20, 1990, the City re- ceived only one bid of $39,997 on the second bid advertisement for the Centennial Plaza brick- work. The bid was 30% less than the first rejected bid of $57,238.95. The original estimates one year ago for the brickwork were $20,000; Ms. Ohlde said Staff learned, after talking to brick masons, that they are not extremely interested in the project because their workloads have increased and costs have gone up. Ms. Ohlde noted that there are only 8 weeks left before dedication of the Plaza on August 11, 1990. She said 50% of the 29500 personalized bricks have been sold thus far. Ms. Ohlde said $11,702.15 has been expended to date for the Centennial Plaza. There are $17,891.27 in anticipated costs, plus the award for the brickwork for $39,997, which calculates to a total of $69,590.42. Revenues to date are $48,847. Councilmember Nordquist said it was his understanding that:the cost to do the brickwork is higher than anticipated because each brick has to be trimmed. 'He inquired who designed the plaza. Ms. Ohlde replied former Landscape Architect Elizabeth Greenleaf and Arts Coordinator Linda McCrystal. Councilmember Nordquist inquired if any of the contractors had proposed a less intri- cate pattern for the brickwork. Ms. Ohlde replied negatively. Councilmember Jaech noted that the budget for the Centennial project was set at $100,000. She was upset that the Council was under pressure to make a decision because of time constraints that will be more costly. She suggested that the donor bricks be set in place but a less expensive material, such as bomanite, be used for the curved walkway. Councilmember Palmer said he, too, was unhappy with the increase in costs. He suggested that the curved section of the walkway be concreted with a patterned brick overlay and that the work be done by City Staff to cut costs. In the interest of time, Council member. Kasper suggested that the bid be awarded with the proviso that less expensive alternatives be considered by Insite. City Engineer Bob Alberts said any changes to the contract would require negotiation with the contractor and ADB approval, which would delay the project, and the time line to complete the project would not be met. Mayor Naughten reminded the Council that the project is funded with public funds and falls within the budget. He said the Centennial Plaza will be an attractive addition to the community, as well as a legacy to the City, and he did not want to "cheapen the project". EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4 JUNE 5, 1990 Councilmember Dwyer noted that the budgeted amount for the project is $63,612 and is $69,590.42. He inquired where the additional $6,000 will emanate from. Mr. that a $6,000 savings has been realized on the project to date. Councilmember where, in the project, the $6,000 was saved. Community Services Director Peter were cost estimates that were higher than anticipated, and a percentage of the anticipated to be bid out was done in-house. the actual cost Ohlde explained Dwyer inquired Hahn said there labor that was Councilmember Palmer inquired if the Centennial Committee has voted on whether or not to spend the additional money for the brickwork. Ms. Ohlde said although a formal vote was not taken, the Committee was made aware of the situation and has agreed to go forward with the project. Councilmember Jaech said it has been the desire of the Council that the costs of Staff labor, supplies, etc., do not exceed the $100,000 budget. She inquired if the project will exceed that amount. Mayor Naughten replied negatively. Councilmember Dwyer inquired if budget line item transfers, including overtime for Staff, would be required if the request is approved. Administrative Services Director Art Housler replied negatively. He said Fund 625 contains all of the monies that will be expended on the project. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED. BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO ACCEPT THE BID CONTRACT FOR $39,997. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, AND COUNCILMEMBER WILSON IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, COUN- CILMEMBER JAECH, AND COUNCILMEMBER PALMER OPPOSED. COUNCIL DELIBERATION ON PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE RELATING TO ACCES- SORY Assistant City Planner Duane Bowman reported that the issue of accessory dwelling units was last reviewed by the Council on April 3, 1990 but no consensus was reached. Subsequently, a question- naire was drafted and sent to each Councilmember to determine the sentiment of individual Council - members. Mr. Bowman said the results of the survey indicated that the ordinance originally pre- sented on April 3, 1990 addressed most of their concerns but with some modifications. Councilmember Wilson inquired what criteria Staff will apply to determine whether or not a bona fide physical or financial hardship exists. He noted that a financial hardship by Staff's inter- pretation may be quite different from a home owner's interpretation. Mr. Bowman said a standard has not been set up yet in the proposed ordinance. He said Staff will make a judgment call based upon the information that is presented to them by an applicant. Staff's decision, he said,.could then be appealed to the Hearing Examiner, or an applicant can bypass that process entirely and request the Hearing Examiner, as part of the conditional use procedure, to determine whether a bona fide hardship exists. COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO ELIMINATE THE FINANCIAL HARD- SHIP CLAUSE FROM THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE. Councilmember Dwyer explained that he seconded the motion because the issue has resulted in a deadlock. He said although he was in favor of the financial hardship clause, and circumstances may arise when the Council may wish that it was included in the ordinance, he was interested in passing the ordinance with the thought that the issue can be considered at a later time. Councilmember Wilson said he would vote against the motion because he believed a financial hard- ship clause must be included in the ordinance. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER WITHDREW THE SECOND TO THE MOTION, SO THE MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 2775 AS WRITTEN. Councilmember Palmer was in agreement with Councilmember Dwyer's suggestion to delete the finan- cial hardship clause until specific criteria constituting a, hardship are established; otherwise, he said, the Council will be "opening up a Pandora's box of misinterpretation". Councilmember Palmer pointed out that the two-year occupancy requirement does not state that residency must be immediately prior to the application. He noted that an owner could meet the two-year occupancy requirement even if he/she owned the home twenty years, for example, before applying for a permit. Councilmember Dwyer said he was not opposed to someone applying for a permit after owning a home for a significant number of years prior to such application. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5 JUNE 5, 1990 With respect to the covenant [20.21.025(a)(2)], Councilmember Palmer inquired if a husband and wife can apply for an accessory dwelling unit as a marital community to protect either person in the event that one of them dies. City Attorney Scott Snyder said the word "person" in an ordi- nance of the type before the Council includes legal entities of all types. Councilmember Jaech referred to 20.21.000. She inquired if anyone, under the provisions of that section, can apply for an accessory dwelling unit after having owned and occupied a residence for two years. Mr. Snyder replied affirmatively. Councilmember Jaech said she was opposed to that provision because it will create duplexes which, she said, is not the intent of the Council. She said the ordinance was originally established to provide relief to people who were suffering from a severe hardship. Councilmember Jaech said allowing a home owner to rent a portion of a home to meet the mortgage payment, in essence, creates a duplex and changes the zoning of a single-family neighborhood. She thought people who want to live in a multifamily unit should buy a structure in a multifamily zone. Councilmember Kasper referred to 20.21.015. He recommended that the words "two year" be inserted following the words, "The Community Services Director, or his designee, may grant a waiver of the u Councilmember Kasper also referred to the word "construct" on the third line of section 20.21.025(1). He inquired if the meaning of that sentence entailed construction of an accessory dwelling unit or the remodel of a home to provide for such a unit. Mr. Snyder said the word "construct" is language that is included in the existing ordinance. Councilmember Kasper said the intent of the Council is to remodel a home and not to construct an addition to a home. Mr. Snyder suggested that the wording be changed to "proposed to be located". COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO CHANGE THE ORDINANCE ON PAGE 2, DELETING THE FINAL SENTENCE UNDER 20.21.000 - PURPOSE- AND DELETING 20.21.015(2), BOTH HAVING TO DO WITH FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN. MOTION FAILED WITH COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, AND COUNCILMEMBER PALMER IN FAVOR; COUN- CILMEMBER NORDQUIST, COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, AND COUNCILMEMBER WILSON OPPOSED. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN ON THE MAIN MOTION. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, COUNCIL - MEMBER KASPER, COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, AND COUNCILMEMBER WILSON IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH, AND COUNCILMEMBER JAECH OPPOSED. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO DIRECT STAFF TO DRAFT CRITERIA WITHIN THIRTY DAYS AS TO HOW THE HARDSHIP PROVISIONS WILL BE APPLIED. MOTION CARRIED. REVIEW WESTGATE PLANNING STUDY COUNCIL PRESIDENT NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO SET A PUBLIC HEARING TO DISCUSS THE WESTGATE PLANNING STUDY ON JULY 17, 1990. MOTION CARRIED. DISCUSSION OF SNOHOMISH HEALTH DISTRICT/COUNTY COUNCIL JOINT PROPERTY PURCHASE Council President Nordquist recommended that the City send a letter of intent to the County Coun- cil stating that the City of Edmonds is willing to enter into a property acquisition agreement ;) and that the initial investment of $29,997 be provided by the Council. Councilmember Jaech expressed a desire that the City's principal payments be adjusted in.accor- dance with the population of latecomers to the agreement to offset the City's initial investment. Councilmember Dwyer inquired what percentage of the total purchase price of the building is repre- sented by the cities' and County's share of the down payment. Councilmember Kasper replied 6.96%. Councilmember Nordquist explained that the County expressed a desire to reduce the amorti- zation period from 20 years to 10 years by making a larger initial investment. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO INSTRUCT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO DRAFT A LETTER OF INTENT TO THE SNOHOMISH HEALTH DISTRICT ON BEHALF OF THE EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL EXPRESSING THE COUNCIL'S DESIRE TO ENTER INTO A JOINT -VENTURE WITH SNOHOMISH HEALTH DISTRICT AND THE COUNTY COUNCIL TO PURCHASE PROPERTY, AND THAT THE CITY'S DOWN PAYMENT OF $29,997 BE SUBTRACT- ED FROM THE LAST PAYMENT OWING THE DISTRICT. City Attorney Scott Snyder noted that the City would be selling its ownership interest in favor of a non -equity position if it requested a credit on the last payment. Councilmember Kasper suggested that the wording "equity redistribution" be used. MOTION CARRIED. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6 JUNE 5, 1990 DISCUSSION OF REROOFING OF SHELTERS AT CITY PARK Councilmember Hertrich expressed a concern that the shake roofs on the shelters at City Park are going to be replaced with metal roofing material. He thought the structures should blend in with �the environment and surrounding area rather than look like a commercial structure. He said al- though the cost to purchase shake material is more expensive than metal sheeting, the finished product is essentially the same cost when factoring in Staff's time to remove the old roof and replace it with metal. Councilmember Hertrich said the project was reviewed by the Architectural Design Board (ADB) and Planning Board. He asked the Council if they were interested in having projects of that nature come before them before final approval if granted. Mayor Naughten suggested that Councilmembers keep abreast of the ADB and Planning Board review process in the future to avoid similar incidenc- es. Councilmember Palmer said he would have to look at each instance on a case -by -case basis be- cause a metal roof may be more appropriate than some other material. MAYOR Mayor Naughten noted that additional rooms are available to any Councilmember who wishes to at- tend the AWC conference because the City of Lynnwood cancelled their hotel reservations. Mayor Naughten said he submitted a draft letter to the Council addressed to Admiral Parker. Councilmember Nordquist suggested that the word "region" be changed to "Snohomish County" because Snohomish County will be impacted just as much as the City of Edmonds and the "region", and he felt that issue should be included in the letter. Councilmember Palmer recommended that the City mention that it is pleased that the Union Oil site was determined to be buildable and looks for- ward to seeing the cost figures and configuration. He suggested that the words "scope of pro- posed study" be included in the second sentence of the second paragraph instead of saying "more specifically". Councilmember Wilson said relocation of the ferry terminal will solve both State and City problems, and in solving both problems, problems are being solved for decades to come. He recommended that wording to that effect be included in the third paragraph, as well as wording regarding public safety considerations, congestion, and pedestrian and public safety at the end of the letter. Mayor Naughten noted that a joint dinner meeting with Gary Nelson, Senators Wood and Beck, Mayor Hedges, and Councilmember Mike Echelbarger is scheduled on June 19th at Arnie's Restaurant. Mayor Naughten inquired if any Councilmember would like to volunteer to serve on the Solid Waste Advisory Committee. Councilmember Hertrich volunteered. �'�,�•�'� Mayor Naughten said the Frances Anderson memorial will be held on June 8th at 2:30 p.m. at the Methodist Church. Mayor Naughten said he will be absent next Tuesday because he will be at the AWC conference. COUNCIL Council President Nordquist noted that the area from 212th to 208th and 76th will be greatly impacted when the medical facility is completed. He inquired if a traffic study was or will be . conducted. City Engineer Bob Alberts said the developers of the clinic were supposed to ascer- tain the effects of traffic generated by the clinic on the surrounding area but the City has yet to receive that information. He said there are, however, mechanisms in place to require the developer to provide that information. Councilmember Nordquist was disappointed that the expanded commuter service by Community' Transit does not include routes through Edmonds. Councilmember Kasper said discussions have taken place with respect to increasing bus routes in Snohomish County and.the City and are ongoing. Council President Nordquist said he will be absent next Tuesday because he will be attending the AWC conference. Student Representative Brian Mason said he is old enough to vote now. He thanked the Council again for giving him the opportunity to serve as. a student representative on the Council. Councilmember Palmer said if the ferry is relocated to the Union Oil site, there is a wonderful opportunity to develop the vacated site with small shops, low -growing trees, planters, and bench- es and creating, possibly, a festival square where a number of City -sponsored summer functions are held. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 7 JUNE 5, 1990 Councilmember Palmer requested the Mayor to provide him with the resumes of all those people who are interested in appointment to the Planning Board. Councilmember Palmer said the Historical Society would like to make sure that the plans that the Centennial Committee has to put plaques on certain buildings throughout the City dovetail with their plaque program. * Councilmember Palmer said he read an article in the Herald entitled "Brubaker Won't Run For Exec" and stating, "We found out the rule is not legal "77—rounciImember Palmer said the rule still stands and still represents the intent of the Council. He said he was "getting a little tired of seeing in print that position", and he said it is inconsistent with current service on the Ethics Committee. Councilmember Dwyer said he attended the Fire Volunteer Banquet on Saturday and was pleased to report that there was not a decline in attendance as there has been in past years. He suggested that the Council consider funding the cost of the banquet in the future and the cost of the plaques in appreciation of their service. He noted that the City receives a great benefit from them, and their service should be recognized in some way. Councilmember Dwyer said he and Councilmember Wilson were in agreement that the Union Oil site should be indicated in the City's Comprehensive Plan as a possible location for a ferry terminal. Councilmember Jaech reminded the Mayor that he promised her that flowers would be planted in the islands near Westgate for the Centennial celebration.. Councilmember Jaech said there is "an item we should probably brush up on because it was brought up tonight, and I guess we can't really talk about it at this point, but we did have it in Commit- tee and Mary Lou brought samples of signs for posting when things were going to be done and some- thing has fallen through and it's not getting done". Mayor Naughten noted that the Historical Society is having a dedication on Sunday at 1:15 p.m. Councilmember Hertrich said he thought it is :crucial that the Council renew its membership with the Puget Sound Council of Governments because the City's Comprehensive Plan should be discussed with that organization. Councilmember Hertrich noted that a telephone pole fell over sometime over the weekend. He said the Council should request the utility companies to check the condition of their equipment on a periodic basfs so that similar incidents do not occur. * The Council recessed to an executive session at 9:37 p.m. to discuss a legal matter for approxi- mately twenty minutes and adjourned thereafter.
