1969 FINAL BUDGET HEARING
In accordance with state law, hearing was, held on the Final Budget for the City of Edmonds for
the year 1969 on Monday, October.7, 1968.
Hearing was called to order by Mayor Harve Harrison with all councilmen present.
Mayor Harrison then introduced the following members of his Citizen's Laison Committee who were
in the audiences James Sawyer, Bob Lakey, Bill Nelson, Bud Hartwick, Pat Healy, and Ken
Welling.
Mayor Harrison then called on City Supervisor D. C. Lawson to present the budget, and
Supervisor Lawson explained each individual budget item. Following this, the hearing was
opened.
Police Judge William J. Goulder requested that another look be taken at the salary of the
Police Judge. He did not believe that it should have been cut $25.00 per month from the
preliminary sheet that he had seen. It was explained that many cuts had been made on the
0
;front page of the proposed Salary Ordinance; some of $25.00 and others of up to $50.00 per
month. Several members of the Police Dept. were present, and they also were dissatisfied with
.the salaries proposed for them. Councilman Kincaid, however, brought out the fact that the
Police Dept. had decided to negotiate with the City through their Union representative, and
that this made it necessary for any discussions on wages to be held through these negotiating '
committees and thus prevented salary discussions on a personal basis between the council
members and individual policemen.
�i
There were no tax payers in the audience who wished to comment further on the final budget,
and the hearing was therefore closed.
Because of further proposed salary negotiations, it was, moved by Councilman Kincaid, seconded
by .Councilman Nordquist that the council defer action on .the Salary Ordinance and hold it for
further discussion. However, Councilman Bennett felt that the salaries had been reviewed in
detail, and he was prepared to vote tonight on salaries as well as on the Budget. At this
point, Councilmen Kincaid and Nordquist retracted their motion.
It was moved -by Councilman Kincaid, seconded by Councilman Nordquist that proposed Ordinance
1389 be passed, adopting the Final Budget of the City of Edmonds for the fiscal year com-
mencing January 1, 1969. A roll call vote showed all councilmen voting in favor, and the
motion carried unanimously.
It was then moved by Councilman Nordquist, seconded by Councilman Slye that proposed
Ordinance #1390 be passed, levying the general taxes for the City of Edmonds for the fiscal
year commencing January 11 1969, and providing for the collection thereof! A roll call vote
was taken, with all councilmen voting in favor, and the motion carried unanimously.
This ended the budget hearing, and the meeting adjourned at 11:15 P.M.

HEARING: FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLL - LID #140 - SEWERS, VICINITY 8tb & PUGET
Engineer Larson explained the final costs of the LID. The final total costs were $17,033.59, with
$3,998.17 reimbursable from the City of Edmonds., making a total cost for the LID in the amount of
$13,035.42. The preliminary estimate was $12,700.00 with zoned front foot cost of $6.a$. The final
zoned front foot cost was $7.74, the difference mainly coming from the fact that some of the original
assessed property had to be deleted from the LID. Hearing was then opened.
John Kannair, 1420 8m Avenue North, objected to the fact that the property. owners were having to pay
the cost of a main trunk line. Engineer Larson explained that the main trunk line was installed at
the cost of the City of Edmonds, not the property owners. The main line was installed to connect
LID #151. H. D. Propst, Jr., 19514 — 100L Avenue W. asked when the project would be completed. He
said the property had been left in a terrible shape, and that his neighbors yard had been a mud hole,
and the contractor had dumped rocks in it and had gone' --off and left it. Councilman Bennett asked about e
the use of the performance bond to get this project completed. Engineer Larson stated that the original
contractor had gone bankrupt, but that sufficient retainage was held to pay to have all of the work
done to complete the job. Ech's had been hired and would perhaps have the work done in a week.
Hearing was closed.
Councilman Bennett moved, seconded by Councilman Slye that Ordinance #1391 be passed approving and
