ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EDMONDS ARTS COMMISSION AND PRESENTATION OF PERFORMING LITERARY ARTS SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS j Kathleen Archer, Chair of the Edmonds Art Commission, presented the 2001 annual rept rt. She identified Art Commission members Julie Toothaker, Erin Marsh, Leigh -Ann Hafford, Edwina Baxter,. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 21, 2002 Page 3 Joyeanna Chaudiere, and Nancy Wood; and staff members Kris Gillespie, and Frances Chapin and Renee McRae, representing the City's Parks and Recreation and Cultural Services Department. Ms. Archer explained the Arts Commission was charged with the responsibility of supporting the community via the arts. For the past 26 years, through the efforts of the City and 53 Arts Commissioners, the Arts Commission has existed to ensure that the arts were integral in the community's quality of life, economic vitality and central identity. She explained this was accomplished through support of the Community Cultural Plan goals that were updated in 2001. The goals of the Community Cultural Plan were to 1) increase the visibility of arts in Edmonds, 2) develop facilities to include performance, studio, exhibit, and retail space for the arts, 3) broaden community involvement in the arts, 4) encourage collaboration among the arts, business, and education and 5) promote the arts as partners of economic development. She noted these five goals provided the backbone for the Art Commission's annually revised strategic plan. Ms. Archer explained during 2001, the Arts Commission strengthened existing programs, introduced new programs, and developed further collaboration within and outside the community. She provided highlights of 2001 including the 16th annual Write on the Sound Writer's Conference, Youth Writing Contest, summer concerts, family concerts, Winter Performing Arts, Opera in the Neighborhood, displaying the work of over 32 regional artists and 25 local youth in four exhibit spaces, four joint exhibits, Biannual Promotion Poster, Best Book I Ever Read Contest, and a youth photography class and exhibit. Community outreach was accomplished via the Artists in Residence Program and distribution of the quarterly Arts Bulletin newsletter. A total of $10,000 in promotional grants from Lodging Tax Funds was awarded to seven Edmonds arts organizations. With revenues from the Write on the Sound Writers Conference, $3,000 in college scholarships was awarded for the 16t1i consecutive year to Edmonds students pursuing a career in the literary or performing arts. Further, a scholarship fund was established to support scholarship programs with donations from private donors. Ms. Archer explained the Arts Commission promotes visual art in Edmonds through the Percent for Art program and privately funded public art. She described the Public Art Collection, Hekinan 50'h Anniversary Art project, international mask making project, public art at the Edmonds Public Safety Complex, and selection of artwork for the Sound Transit station. Ms. Archer stated as the accomplishments of 2001 are reviewed, two themes emerge, 1) emphasis on support of local art education efforts which enhance opportunity for youth to participate in the arts, and 2) collaboration and sponsorship from the community that make these programs possible. On behalf of the Arts Commission, she thanked the many community sponsors, co-partners, collaborators, and volunteers that helped make 2001 such a successful year. Julie Toothaker, Arts Commission Member, explained each year the Arts Commission conducts a literary and performing arts scholarship competition and $3,000 was awarded this year. The funds for the scholarship come from Arts Commission program revenues. She noted the Arts Commission did accept contributions to the scholarship program. She explained there were two criterion for participating in the scholarship competition, 1) students must be residents of Edmonds, and 2) he/she must be planning a career in performing or literary arts. She identified the jurors for this year's competition, Leigh -Ann Hafford, Wanda Griffith, and herself. Ms. Toothaker introduced the scholarship recipients, Maria Dalbotten, Lindsay Karstetter, and Yoko Okano. Ms. Toothaker explained Ms. Dalbotten was a student at Edmonds-Woodway High School, who during the interview process demonstrated impressive acting skills but also her passion for studying Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 21, 2002 Page 4 drama and acting. Ms. Dalbotten plans to study acting at the Stella Adler School in Hollywood. She advised Ms. Dalbotten would be awarded a $500 scholarship. Ms. Dalbotten performed a scene from "Painting Churches." Ms. Toothaker explained Lindsay Karstetter, a senior at Kamiak High School, has been taking voice lessons for many years to develop her mature, versatile singing voice. She plans to attend ' Vashington State University where she can also maintain her equestrian interests while furthering her musical development. Ms. Karstetter was awarded a $1,000 scholarship. Ms. Toothaker read remarks from the juror's notes regarding Yoko Okano, a senior at Kings High School, which include "highly advanced technical skills, expressive, overall musicality, focus and passion, confidence, commitment, dazzling, wow." Ms. Okano was awarded a $1,500 scholarship and she plans to attend Stanford University. Ms. Okano performed a piano piece. Council President Earling thanked the Arts Commission for the scholarships they have provided for so many years. Councilmembers and the Mayor each congratulated the scholarship recipients. 6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Josephine Lloyd, 8120 186th Street SW, Edmonds, Chamber of Commerce Board Member, on behalf of the Chamber, thanked the Council for their action regarding the use of public (space on September 7 (motion to table under Item 2). She explained it was the Chamber's desire to reach an amicable solution between themselves and the Edmonds Historical Museum Board. She assured the Council of their continued efforts to reach agreement and she was confident that the two events could be compatible and benefit all parties including the community. 6a. APPROVAL OF ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT INTERLOCAL SERVICES AGRIKEMENT BETWEEN THE CITIES OF EDMONDS AND LYNNWOOD Mayor Haakenson advised there had been significant progress at the Medic 7 Board level toward the goal of employing Medic 7 paramedics within the Edmonds and Lynnwood Fire Departments. The Board authorized training of the medics to become firefighters as well as funding the training. The Board also authorized funding accrued liabilities due the medics once they became employees of Edmonds and Lynnwood. Further, the medic unit that was stationed at Stevens Hospital was relocated to the downtown Edmonds fire station where it will remain in the future. Mayor Haakenson explained Lynnwood Council President Jim Smith, along with two other Lynnwood Councilmembers, approached him regarding an interlocal agreement between Edmonds and Lynnwood to identify the service levels the cities will provide to each other once the medics become city employees. He explained the service levels identified in the interlocal agreement were identical to the service levels currently provided to citizens in Edmonds and Lynnwood. Mayor Haakenson requested Council approval of the interlocal agreement which would allow Lynnwood Council President Smith to inform the Lynnwood Council next week that the Edmonds City Council agreed to the interlocal and request the Lynnwood Council vote on the interlocal agreement; Mayor Haakenson referred to Section 2.2 of the interlocal agreement which identified several actions that must be attained before the agreement takes effect including the parties must obtain the ability to provide their separate fire-based ALS programs via one of three methods, provide written notification that each party has approved a labor agreement and hired paramedic personnel, and agree to share a Medical Program Director. He noted Edmonds has reached an agreement with Medic 7 paramedics to employ them. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 21, 2002 Page 5 Mayor Haakenson referred to Section 7, which addresses a "Control Physician," noting the City currently contracts with Dr. Mercer from the Edmonds Emergency Physicians group to set parameters for the Medic 7 program. Edmonds and Lynnwood have agreed to share that responsibility and use the same doctor. The wording in Section 7 will be changed to read, Medical Program Director. The parties shall jointly contract with the same Gent'* Physieia and the a^m- Medical Program Director from Stevens Emergency Physicians, Inc. PS Gfeup. Any change of the Gen#el Dof Medical Program Director shall require the written consent of both parties." Mayor Haakenson advised Woodway and Stevens Hospital, who are parties to Medic 7, are not parties to this interlocal agreement. Woodway will contract with Edmonds or Lynnwood for services once agreement is reached on all issues. However, as a courtesy, both Woodway and Stevens Hospital reviewed the agreement, and both indicated they supported the interlocal agreement with the change requested by Stevens Hospital in the description of the Medical Program Director. Councilmember Petso requested the reference to "Control Physician" be changed to "Medical Program Director" throughout the document. Councilmember Petso said the last time the Council discussed Medic 7, one of her concerns was there appeared to be a lack of a common vision between Lynnwood staff and Edmonds staff. She noted the proposed interlocal still provided three options, 1) contracting with Medic 7, 2) amending the Medic 7 interlocal, or 3) dissolving Medic 7. She questioned whether this was an effort to "keep the doors open" until a common vision was reached or whether a common vision had been reached. Lynnwood Council President Jim Smith, 19306 74th Avenue W, Lynnwood, answered the delay in the past has been a failure to communicate. When he and the taskforce met with Mayor Haakenson and Fire Chief Tomberg, there was little change made to the interlocal agreement. He commented there has always been common vision between Edmonds and Lynnwood. Councilmember Petso asked whether Lynnwood Council planned a public process such as a public hearing or staff presentation regarding cost benefits of the different scenarios or whether it would be decided by the Medic 7 Board. Lynnwood Council President Smith answered he personally did not see any reason for the Medic 7 Board to exist much longer if the cities of Lynnwood and Edmonds were providing the service. It would be more reasonable for the cities and their public safety experts to handle the oversight. He said Lynnwood had no plans to hold a public hearing; consideration of the interlocal agreement was scheduled for the Tuesday, May 28 Lynnwood Council meeting. COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON, THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE THE ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT INTERLOCAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITIES OF EDMONDS AND LYNNWOOD. Councilmember Petso recalled a few weeks ago the process was tainted by an illegal meeting. Further, this action had not been included on any published Council agenda and there had been little public notice. She was concerned with taking this action due to the illegal meeting as well as the lack of public notice. She urged the Council to schedule a staff presentation and public hearing on this topic. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7. REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS OF MAY 14.2002 Finance Committee Councilmember Orvis reported the Finance Committee discussed what items could be paid out of the Maintenance Fund established when the City was annexed into the Sno-Isle Library District. The Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes May 21, 2002 Page 6 Committee agreed further discussions with the Sno-Isle Library District were necessary; staff Will meet with the Sno-Isle Library District and return with a report. Next, the Committee discussed the City's shared leave ordinance and concluded it was a good idea. This item will be presented to the Council as a discussion item in the future. The final item on the agenda was a discussion of the draft contract between the City and the Edmonds Alliance for Economic Development. Following numerous questions, the Committee did not make a recommendation regarding the contract. Public Safety Committee Councilmember Petso reported the meeting began with the Fire Department expressing its apprecIiation to the Council for their efforts at the joint meeting with the Port of Edmonds. The Fire Department expressed interest in continued discussions with the Port regarding public safety on the Port property as well as on the water. Next, the Committee discussed the Helicopter Landing Zone Agreement with Edmonds School District and Stevens Hospital. This item was approved on the Consent Agenda. The final item discussed by the Committee was replacement of the current Fire Department utility vehicle. The Fire Department currently has a truck used to support operations that is not on a regular, vehicle maintenance schedule. The Committee approved replacement of the 1985 converted pickup subject to the department using funds created by the sale of vehicles that have previously been surplused. This item was approved on the Consent Agenda. Community Services/Development Services Committee Councilmember Wilson reported the Committee reviewed the Water Comprehensive Plan, a plan that is required by State law to be updated every six years. Several elements of the Plan were reviewed including the water shortage response plan, operations and maintenance, cross connection control, and the water conservation program. Combining water line replacement program with the street overlay program was also discussed and staff was asked to report further on this coordination. Th'e Water Comprehensive Plan also includes a financial program that examines issues such as rates. Councilmember Wilson noted the rates have not been increased since 1994 and were being studied. When the Water Comprehensive Plan is presented to the Council on June 4, it will not include! the rate structure, only the phasing, operations, and maintenance portions of the plan will be presented. Staff will present the rate structure as a separate discussion in the future. The Committee preferred a step increase. He noted the draft Water Comprehensive Plan was being presented to the Council in orders to take advantage of grant opportunities as well as meet State mandated deadlines for the update. 8.
