to the.new road for 236th, and he noted that Edmonds' Resolution .158,.dated
September 5, 1967, states that the.C.ity,of.Edmonds..would.contribute $4400;:.
Councilman Nordquist questioned.if the Engineer•knew of any additional monies
that'.the City.would be contributing.. City Engineer.Larson answered that in re-
gard to . this pro j:ect, 'i.t would involve some . additional cost, but -the city .was
only obligated up to.,this time -for what we have thus far,, -,";appropriated. At this
point, Councilman Nelson stated that some of our. UAB funds would be used, but
he was.concerned that the City of Edmonds.*would have.to tindergo the burden of
contributing more now that .this 'delay, not., of our .making.,, would cause .greater
costs.that had been originally,anticipated., all due to.the delay in construction.

the units will be screened with'landscaping, as this is shown on.their-land-
scaping plan submitted to --the city.
Councilman Welling asked about the status on the design-for,the Public Works
addition. Engineer Larson answered that the specifications have been outlined
and they are now making on -site condition survey;•that.it was almost -ready for
proposals for a two step process, and would perhaps be ready in a matter of two
weeks for asking council for authority to obtain proposals,:
CORRESPONDENCE

Heights in the vicinity of 212th, with city limits its -boundary west of 72nd, -
and including some lots in Seattle Heights Division'Four and some in Hoyt Acres,
to P.S.H. No. 1.. Mr. Harvey Robinson,,petitioner, had -stated -that he thought the
petition contained the necessary 10% signatures. However, the City Clerk's
office had not had chance to verifjr,as to the sufficiency of signatures, but
presented the petition as letter:of-intont•in.order for council to acknowledge
,receipt and seta"date for meeting with the petitioners -to determine whether the
council would accept the proposed annexation, whether the council would require
assumption of existing city indebtedness by the area, and adoption of zoning in
compliance with the comprehensive plan. Following discussion, IT WAS MOVED BY

HEARING: PROPOSED ORDINANCE ON WATER SYSTEM AND.RATES
Mayor Harrison asked for a show of hands of those in the audience who were here
tonight for the. -hearing on the water system and rates. Three people indicated
they were 'preset for- this.
City Engineer Leif -Larson gave a summary of the history, city policy for water-
line replacement,.the present'd-iciencies, funds needed to upgrade the system,
and the.proposed rates. He then used maps with different colors to illustrate
high priority areas within the city, deficient lines, etc. He explained the'
work done for the water rate study and gave a review of the system and rates.
He noted that to accomplish what is proposed, and to proceed with the two
million bond issue,with'the revenues received at the present.r.ates, the city
would -have a deficiency. -To provide funds•for this, the new rate proposal is
being made. Mayor Harrison asked what the average percentage of increase would
be, and Engineer Larson answered that it would be approximately 35% increase
overall.. Hearing.•was then opened.
'A man.,in-the,audience inquired about the number of different.rates throughout
the city,'and said he could not see why some people would be punished by the
charge on consumption, rather than charging for getting water to the con-
sumer. Engineer Larson stated that the city chargedby cubic feet of water
used,.and.this was the way the city paid for.its water. Another man.in the
audience suggested increasing the charges for the -excess used -rather than
raising -the basic rate. Engineer.Larson noted that there were. administrative
costs involved,,and the excess..is charged.as the.city is charged. Tom Day,
89th W.:,'�.had a question on trouble. areas,,. the problems, and why the city needs
to replace so many lines. The City Engineer explained the maps with the dif-
ferent types of water lines, and the sizes that in some cases are deficient.
The.same gentleman also asked -when -the rates would go up Engineer Larson
answered that the basic rate would increase.as soon as the -council passed the
ordinance, the lines'are in, and the people benefit. Mr.`•Gibson, Wharf -Street,
asked what effect the improvement would have on fire insurance rates. The City
Engineer said the improvement should .reduce the rates.. Councilman Gellert noted
that a study on insurance rates had been done.a year or so ago, and the city
was.now Class 5 and with improved water system, if .the city should become a
Class'4 it could.reduce.appr6ximately.$10.0,0 on a $24,000'house, which could
rake up the difference in any water rate increase.
Dewey Leyda inquired about.transite pipe not lasting.. He.said he felt it would
last, and would not need replacement for years.. City Engineer Larson answered
that'it depended upon the base the pipe is on;.that transite would crack under
moving -conditions. A man in.the audience asked if the. people would hAve.a vote
on whether or.not to raise the water rates. Mayor Harrison"advised'that the
he
council, as the elected representatives,. would vote onthis..• No one else in
the audience to comment, 'and the hearing was closed.
Councilman Nordquist stated that -he would not vote in faugr,:;.,of.passage of the
ordinance-ton14ht-because of'the wording in the last paragraph that said the
ordinance, and therefore rates, would be in effect five days after passage and
publication:. He.said he had understood that the city would sell the bonds first
and then pass.on the rates.: •Dick Kennedy, financial advisor from Seattle North-
west Securities, told council that'.if they were to adopt the ordinance tonight,
his firm would immediately subm�mter.al to Moody:,$; and Standard and Poor's
for rating and within a week or ten days the city would be free to sell the
bonds whenever they wished, following this. There"followed discussion on the
bond market, prices of pipe at the present time as opposed to waiting, etc.

PRESENTATION OF PROPOSAL FOR BOAT HARBOR BREAKWATER, BOARDWALK AND FISHING PIER
BY DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES
Bill Nims,•representing the Edmonds Jaycees and Chairman of the committee to pro-
vide a public fishing pier, brought this item before .council and introduced Mr.
Ray Buckley of the Department of Fisheries, who gave the presentation..
Mr. Buckley said this project would provide fishing facilities for people who.do
not have or do not wish`.to:.have a boat. He noted that there°were at,.present no
areas for this, and the solution to the problem was to provide -fishing` -piers in
this region to satisfy a demand. He stated'that.these piers were very popular
in California, Texas, and other areas. Mr. Buckley projected slides to show
several structures be'ing'used for this recreational fishing;'also underwater
areas to show attraction of many kinds of fish; and then'projected drawings of
the -proposed structure -being offered to Edmonds.' He commented'on-what has been
done so far on this project.' The IAC has sdme 8-million to use acid the Dept.
of Fisheries has submitted a request for 3.2 million for fishing piers over the
next few years.'•Money-has been requested -'for the first phase of the pier in
Edmonds, which will be 100% funded, and which the Dept. of Fisheries'will'con-
struct in Edmonds on the existing'Port breakwater structure,' with finger piers
stretching into deep water. The structure, when completed, will -be -turned over
to the City and/or Port for maintenance and'operation.' This proposal has been
submitted to the IAC, and Mr. Buckley said he would like to request, -if the city
=•=t,.finds this favorable, that council send a letter to Stan Francis, Administrator
-of the IAC,- stating that council has heard the presentation -and proposal and
is in -favor -of the project, and give.indication that the city'would look favorably
on the maintenance and operation. There followed question's, -from -council on the
structure itself, as well'as the expected maintenance problems and methods of
operation used in other areas. Mr. Buckley said this is looked upon as a
Regional Recreational Program by the Department of Fisheries,'and that the
Department,;had employees who would help people with any fishing problems they
might have, and would be most willing to'lend any support in that area of the
• recreation. Mr. Buckley said he was aware -of the parking problems here.' but
that they were not insurmountable, and the pier would provide a -wonderful
recreation facility for the city.
V
Gordon Maxwell9tPort Commissioners said Mr. Buckley had'inade his presentation
to the'Port Commission, and added that although there are some.problems involved,
he was very much interested at this time -in carrying this further. Mr. Maxwell
.said the construction of the pier might create'a,.congestion problem at the foot
of Dayton, but nevertheless, at the next Port meeting, they would probably submit
a letter of interest as requested'by the Dept. of Fisheries. He stated that this
would be a joint effort(.with the Port and City working with the Department of
Fisherieis, and he wished to bring this suggestion of.a joint committee to council.
Councilman Gellert inquired about a charge for use of the -pier. and although
some areas do charge a nominal fee, others'do not:,:, and it is left up t6 the
operators of the pier to decide. In answer to.another question from Councilman
Gellert, Mr. Buckley stated that yes, the Dept. of Fisher.ies-would.use its
expertise=and help people with the recreational fishing problems,•if they so
desired, and his staff would help educate and inform as necessary. Councilman.;__
Welling asked if,there were any guidelines on the cost of maintenance and opera-
tion. Mr. Buckley answered that it was very low,, even in the Gulf areas which
are subjected to -hurricanes.
Dave*Larson, in the audience, said he thought the pier was a:fabulous idea; that
his children use the existing'Edmonds fishing pier, even in winter. He said he
was intrigued with the Fisheries Dept'. offering to -::give instructions. Mr.
Larson said he hoped council would -not be too-hung,up with the parking situation.

He added that lots of kids ride their bikes to the pier, and just install a bike •
rack; even older people might take to riding bikes to the pier;.and-eventually
maybe an intercity transit system might be involved.. He said.he hoped council
would: act to expedite this.,
Ray Sittauer commented that this seemed like a great idea -to Trim, and he was
excited about it. He'concurred'with-Dave'Larson'in hoping the -city wouldn't
get too hung up on parking. Ted Crittenden, Port Commissioner, said we should
now get down to the nitty gritty. ;It,was very clear that this must be a joint
effort; that we must indicate approval to -the IAC; that'a joint committee of
Port and City on the maintenance and operation of the proposed pier would have
to consider all short and long term problems before going.ahead; that parking -
was indeed vital; and that there was still a long way to go on.this, and some
additional space was needed. Councilman Welling asked Mr. Chittenden'if he was
saving his willingness to'write a letter was conditional on the city taking some
steps toward additional parking being provided? .Mr:'Chittenden answered not
necessarily the city, but from whatever source. If the IAC in this funding can,
as has been intimated, include'acquisition of land for parking to make such a
project feasible, that is where we should look. Another man in the audience
stated that he and other citizens pay the port taxes, and need fishing, not
parking. Still another man commented that lie was afraid other than Edmonds
citizens would use these piers and bring cars, making a considerable influx
of extra people with cars.
Harold Bucklin, Port Commissioner, agreed that this facility would draw people
from other areas, and we must find some source of additional parking for future
need. Mr. Buckley stated -that we should think progressively and positively for
this program and change is important; there -:will -be problems, but they can
certainly be solved. The breakwater is already there, and the location:is an
ideal one.
•
Following some further discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON,
SECONDED'BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST THAT WE AUTHORIZE THE'MAYOR TO COMMUNICATE
OUR•ENTHUSIASTIC INTEREST IN THIS PROPOSED PROJECT'TO'MR.' FRANCIS OF THE IAC.1
ANTICIPATING THE FORMATION OF AN INTER-AGENCY'COMMITTEE INCLUDING STATE AGENCIES
OF THEPORT AND OURSELVES, TO WORK OUT THE ..ATTENDANT'PROBLEMS.
Councilman Nelson'then offered a proposed resolution•he had composed, and asked
if'it-might be jointly -and mutually signed, if reasonable*to-the Port Commission.
The resolution was as follows-: Whereas, the.Ci•ty of*EdMonds believes that a
public fishing pier will benefit the City in'its-total concept to park and -
recreation development, and 'Whereas, 'a fishing pier 'wi'll benefit 'the youth, the
elderly,''and the non -boaters in being able to fish 'in Puget Sound, and Whereas,
the-pier'carries out -the theme of the City of Edmorids by'having a recreation
facility directed toward the water activities,'and Whereas, the pie'r.structure
Will provide'a natural habitat for marine life in Puget Sound, and.Whe.reas the
proposed pier would take advantage of the existing breakwater structure built
and operated by the Port of Edmonds, Now, Therefore, be it resolved that the
City'of Edmonds 'and Port bf Edmonds -hereby lend their support'to the Washington
State Department of Fisheries and'the'Inter-Agency Commission plan to build and
fund the public'fishi'ng pier on the perimeter of the north breakwater of the
Port of Edmonds Yacht Club.
COUNCILMAN NELSON THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT-TO AMEND THE ABOVE
MOTION TO INCLUDE THE'RESOLUTION WITH THE COMMUNICATION TO.OLYMPIA.
Councilwoman Shippen commented that 'she felt the -city should participate in tie
maintenance and operation even if,it were not in the resolution. Mayor Harrison •
cautioned about building and supporting a pier or recreational facility for the
region, and '.then having the City stand the expense of also.providing parking
for this as a result. Following some discussion, A VOTE ON :THE AMENDMENT TO TIE
MOTION CARRIED, AND THEN THE ORIGINAL MOTION, AS AMENDED.,,ALSO CARRIED, BOTH
UNANIMOUSLY.
AUTHORIZATION TO REPLAC&=0RCYCLE VIA CITY OF SEATTLE BIDS
Director of M..& 0., Public Works, Herb Gilbo, made a request of council to
obtain authorization to'replace a motorcycle for equipment rental by purchasing
the -unit' under' the City of Seattle'bid. This would be a replacement of unit
450, which will'be sold. There was some discussion on use of the cycle, and
Police Chief Fgs'ter stated that it was very useful, especially'in traffic.
COUNCILMAN NELSON THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON TO AUTHORIZE THE
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO REPLACE THE MOTORCYCLE UNDER THE'CI•TY OF SEATTLE
BIDS. MOTION CARRIED.'
PROPOSED SIDEWALK ORDINANCE,.
Councilman Welling noted -that -council often directs the Attorney to draft an.
ordinance, without the Attorney knowing precisely what the council has in mind
for language, and he had tonight distributed some suggestions' for word'ig-.-in
the sidewalkiordinance, which does not alter the ordinance ether'than substi-
tuting, some words,' and Councilman Welling was submitting these suggestions for
council'consideration since they did not in"any way change the meaning"of the
sidewalk ordinance. Having read the suggestions, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL-
MAN GELLERT, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NELSON TO ACCEPT COUNCILMAN WELLING'S NEW
WORDING AND INSTRUCT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO REDRAFT THE ORDINANCE AND -RE -SUBMIT
ON MAY 21.
•
129
Pat Welling, in.behalf of the Beautification Committee, stated that•this was
fsomething.they have wanted for a long-time. However,basing some of it on the
weeds ordinance is not to their_ liking, because the weed ordinance"is something
they have had on their agenda, as -the committee -feels -it is'abso iitely useless.
Another item, on the enforcement, says 45 days to make an adjustment, and 45
days would be the whole-summer=•as.far as vegetation is concerned, and this seems
to•be too long a,period for this., City.Engineer.Leif Larson commented that in
the referral to the word "pedestrian", he -would suggest "public use" to include
pedestrians, bicyclists, horseback.riders,-•or any other use of.the public right-
of-way.- -Another-member-of•the Beautification -Committee -told council*that it
seemed anytime something.needs to be done, you would have to complain,and she
did not feel,government--,should.-be run on complaints. In regard to the enforce-
ment noted in the ordinance, she said,she was -confused that in the old ordinance
it mentions the City Superintendent, and in the proposed new one, it says'' -the'
Director of M. & 0. She was assured that this was the same person, except for
a change in title since the old ordinance was written.
ON -CALL FOR THE QUESTION, THE MOTION CARRIED
REPORT ON MOSQUITO PROBLEM.•IN-BALLINGER AREA
City Engineer Leif Larson reported that the mosquito problem which council had
brought to its attention via letter-, was.originating from ponding.on private
property. There was no immediate solution on the part of the city without an
expenditure, and he felt the Snohomish Health District could advise the people
on dealing with their problems. Councilman'Gellert-wondered if the ordinance
couldn't be amended to deal with mosquitoes along with caterpi:llers. -Capt.--
Shields,'in•the audience, reminded council that King County ran'into-'the
problem of enforcing'its ordinance on itself as well as -the c.itizens,-and the
•
City of Edmonds would come up against this, too, with caterpil'ler tents -in the
trees within the -city parks.
APPROVAL.OF TOW TRUCK LICENSE = FIVE CORNERS TOWING & EXXON
A request for, -.tow truck license had been received from Gerald D. Backus, -for
Five Corners Towing &,Exxon., Police Chief Foster-reported,.that after police
investigation procedrires,and with adequate insurance proof, and•with the City
Clerk having on-fil,e a:business license for this establishment since July 1971,
he•was•satisfied and recommended approval.

CLAIMS FOR'DAMAGES
The City Clerk -presented claims for damages from Herbert A. Larkins, Robert G.
and Martha Sampson, William Moss, Carter W. Robins, and Joseph R. Poehlman.
Most of these were due to water damage from a surge in water pressure. Council
acknowledged receipt -of the claims and they were then referred to the City Clerk
for processing. There followed some discussion -on requirement for control
mechanisms to be placed -on home -hot water tanks, and some kind ofinspection
needed for this.
