City Attorney Wayne Tanaka briefly reviewed some of the areas of the proposed ordinance. It was noted that the SEPA Information Center will be located at the Edmonds Library under certain conditions of the Library Board. City Planner Joe Wallis stated.his office could not -house this Center and he wanted to go on record that the Planning Office is not a library. Librarian Kathy Turner advised that only the Library Board and decide what goes in the Library and it has accepted this, but on the conditions which she had earlier transmitted. Councilman Herb suggested a committee meet with the City Attorneys.during the next week to review the proposal, but a committee could not be formed. It was agreed to discuss this at the next • meeting. ACCEPTANCE OF CONSTRUCTION OF 1.5 MILLION GALLON RESERVOIR AT SEAVIEW BY METROPOLITAN CONSTRUCTION CO.

A MOTION: MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON;,; SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CARNS TO APPOINT KEN HOVDE TO THE BOARD OF ADJSUTMENT, FILLING THE `UNEXPIRED TERM OF ANN RUTTER WHICH EXPIRES DECEMBER 31, 1978.. Councilman Gellert expressed some concern over appointing another builder to the Board of Adjustment in view of a recent meeting he had attended where the builder on the Board had to step down sever-al'times because he had business connections with the applicant before the Board. Councilman Gellert felt having another person who might frequently be put in this position might impair the effectiveness of the Board. Councilman Gellert point- ed out he did not mean any reflection on Ken Hovde, it was just a matter of a situation that could.occure with another builder on the Board. Councilman Herb said he knew Ken Hovde to be a person of very good judgment.' THE MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Harrison said two new positions had recently been created on the Amenities Design Board, for a layman.and for an architect, and that he would like to appoint Greg Selvidge, MOTION: a businessman, as the layman, and Warren LaFon as the architect.

MOTION: A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, TO APPOINT WARREN LaFON TO THE AMENITIES DESIGN BOARD. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Nordquist referred to a memorandum he had directed to the Council regarding funding to fill a vacant position in the Police Department. At the June 10 Disability Board meeting a police officer had asked to go on disability leave/.retirement, leaving three vacancies in the Police Department. A replacement cannot be hired for this new vacancy until the six-month disability leave has expired. Councilman Nordquist stated Chief Foster had given a figure of $7,500 which would fund an officer from July 1 to December 31. Chief -Foster then stated -he and a man sho was already trained who could fill the position without addition- al training. This person had terminated in January and had gone out of state to work but he had returned and is available and could be rehired without trainging. Chief Foster said the Civil. Service rules would -allow it if the Mayor approved it. He said the term would be until the end of the year, taking them up until the next funding. Councilman Nordquist pointed out that it appears that the officer going out on retirement will be doing.so in December and that this temporary hire could take over that position. Councilman Gellert expressed the view that the Mayor and the Mayor's Administrative Assistant should be recommending staff changes to the Council, and that while he agreed that the Police Department had a high prior - MOTION: ity he wasn't sure if it had the highest priority. A MOTION WAS THEN MADE.BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CLEMENT, THAT THIS MATTER BE POSTPONED FOR ONE WEEK AND THAT THE MAYOR AND HIS ADMISISTRATIVE ASSISTANT GIVE A REPORT ON THIS MATTER.BEFORE THE COUNCIL TAKES ACTION. Councilman Nordquist pointed out that the Mayor's Administrative Assistant sits on the Disability Board and is aware of the problem. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Carns referred to a letter from Richard Cole regarding the Coryell property which MOTION: had been acquired by the City in an L:I.D. foreclosure. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CLEMENT, THAT THIS BE SET AS AN AGENDA ITEM FOR JUNE 22. MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Harrison advised taht Fire Chief Cooper is interested in restructuring the Fire Depart- ment, eliminating the position.of Assistant Fire Chief and.creating two Battalion Chiefs, and suggested July 13 to -discuss this. Councilman Gould requested the Council be furnished MOTION: material to study before the meeting. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, TO DISCUSS THE PROPOSED RETRUCTURING OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AT THE MEETING.OF JULY 13. MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Harrison announced that the Fire Chiefs and some community leaders had met with Steven's Memorial Hospital personnel to discuss the establishment of a paramedic type operation at Steven's Memorial Hospital. This proposal would be in addition to the.aid car service that each jurisdiction now furnishes. The concensus was that a separate organization should be formed like an interlocal agreement with the Police Board, made up of various officials of South County jurisdictions and the program administered by the hospital and the paramedic personnel stationed there. They would be trained by doctors and about five at a time could be trained, the training period being seven months. The hospital will have its new emergency room open in aobut 8 months so, hopefully, this training could go on between now and..then the program could start when the emergency room is opened. Mayor Harrison said.90% of all calls the aid cars get are for.transportation to the hospital and 20% are heart porblems. Mayor Harrison briefly explanined possible financing of the project by charging of the services, the charges being comparable to a commercial ambulance service. Only onw paramedic would be on duty at one time and would operate out of a stationwagon. The aid car would respond at the same time as the paramedic so only one set of sophisticated equipment would be.required. MOTION: There was some discussion of possible funding for this program. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL- MAN ANDERSON, SECONDED BY COUCILMAN GELLERT THAT DISCUSSION OF THIS PARAMEDIC PROGRAM BE SET AS AN AGENDA ITEM FOR JUNE 29. Councilman Anderson also suggested someone from the program committee be present and asked for written material to review regarding the program, prior to the meeting. Councilman Gellert asked if a rough estimate of.what the total property value is in the hospital district could be obtained to consider how much a.possible 1/2 mil.tax might bring in for financing. Chief Cooper will obtain that information from the hospital. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Linda Denton of the Ballinger. School area spoke on behalf of the Balinger PTA and asked for Council support.in trying to keep the Ballinger Elementary School open. She read a letter to the Council explaining why the PTA was soliciting Council support. There was some dis- cussion regarding the fact that although the school is located in Mountlake Terrace it is attended mostly by Edmonds students. It was the general concensus of the Council, however, that it would be inappropriate for the Council to take a position on school district decisions. 0 • Jack McRae, Chairman of the Olympic View Annexation Committee, presented the Council with petitions signed by 352 registered voters in favor of annexation to Edmonds. He elaborated on why he thought the annexation could be passed in an election. Mr. McRae said that while trying to get signatures they had found a lot of misinformation had been given out and they felt if the right information were put out to the people they would vote for annexation. It was pointed out to Mr. McRae that 352 signatures were hardly enough to warrant spending $5,000 for an election.. Larry Ferrar, a member of the Committee Against Annexation, said the Council had made a commitment to consider the petition for annexation only if 1,000 signatures were brought in by this meeting in support of annexation. He felt that in government today officials don't. stand behind what they say, and he would like to see the Council stand behind its word. There followed very lengthy discussion, with Pat Meeker, Graham Whitfield, Jean Fricks, Betty Thompson and Jean Astell all speaking very strongly in favor of annexation.. Mr. Whitfield also presented photographs of areas in the Westgate and Firdale Village districts which he felt were prime examples of the results of poor planing they were receiving from. the county. Butch Barden of the Action Committee for Esperance said he is a volunteer fireman for the district and that they had not been'influenced by the Fire District against the annexation. He said Fire Chief Degnan had attended.one of their meetings but that was all. Roger Hertrich expressed the view that the Council should not hear more discussion since they had established previously that 1,000 signatures would be required in favor of the annexation before they could go forward. Councilman Clement said the Council had stated they would not take a position in -this matter. He felt to back down on the original requirement of 1,000 signatures would indicate the Council was pro -annexation. A MOTION WAS THEN MADE BY COUNCILMAN CLEMENT,SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, TO COMMEND THE CITIZENS OF ESPERANCE WHO HAVE EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN ANNEXING OT EDMONDS, • WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY REJECTING THEIR PROPOSAL BECAUSE OF LACK OF ENOUGH CITIZEN INTEREST TO WARRANT AN ELECTION. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST VOTING NO AND COUNCILMAN HERB ABSTAINING BECAUSE HE WAS NOT PRESENT AT THE TIME OF VOTING., Jack McRae retrieved the petitions submitted earlier. Gerry Geschke of 8222 186th S,.W., a member of the Citizens Shorelines Advisory Committee, appeared to request the Mayor and the Council to ask Union Oil to donate the Union Oil Marsh area to the City of Edmonds as a bicentennial project. Mayor Harrison advised that Union Oil is in the process of dedicating that area, along with annexation to the City. Mr.. Geschke was pleased to, hear this and requested an opportunity for the Committee to review the proposed plans for the site. He also expressed an interest in the,planning for downtown parking pre- sently be done. He said he hoped all the parking problems of the City would be addressed together, including the port, the transit, the ferry and the pier parking areas. Marie King of`713 Laurel, also a member of the Citizens Shorelines Advisory Committee, said the Committee recommends to the City Council that it pursue the acquisition of, possible with IAC funding, the Brookacres site and the adjoining Haines property for public use. She point- ed that long range land use planning will. be. essential to acquire property in advance for urban growth. She said the committee is also concerned that we possess five miles of waterfront and don't know the status of it at this time. She felt.a plan should be available in regard to the waterfront as it is a valuable commodity and should be conserved. She said she relized it was probably too late now for Brookacres, but possibly the Haines property could be pursued. Mayor Harrison advised her that the City has hired an appraiser to appraise the Haynes property, and Councilman Gellert added that IAC funding still requires 25% to come from the City and that other than by vote of the people there is no way to come up with the funds. Mr. Robert Zwink announcied that,on July 23 twenty-two foreign language students.will be arriv-' ing from Japan and will stay in twenty-two homes in the Edmonds area while they are visiting. He went over their schedule and said they would be touring Edmonds on July 26 and would like • to visit the City Council on July 27. Mr..Swenk said he would like to have Council's approval of a proclamation proclaiming July 23, 1976 to July 30, 1976 as Nagoya School of Foreign Languages Week as a part of the second "Our Home, is Your Home:' international cultural and personal exchange organized by the Edmonds Jaycees and the City of Edmonds. Councilman Gellert said he had taken an active part in the 1972 visit and had a pleasant ime in host - MOTION: ing the.farewell party. A MOTION WAS THEN MADE BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT, SECONDED BY COUNCIL- MAN CARNS, THAT THE MAYOR BE AUTHORIZED TO SIGN THE PROCLAMATION AND PRESENT IT TO THE NAGOYA SCHOOL OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES. MOTION CARRIED. MOTION: A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCKLMAN HERB, THAT ITEMS 6., 7 AND 8 ON THE AGENDA BE COMINED AS ONE ITEM REGARDING TRUCK TRAFFIC ON 196TH STREET. MOTION CARRIED. HEARING: ON TRUCK TRAFFIC ON.196TH City Engineer Leif Larson reviewed the background leading.to this hearing. As a result of'a fish truck.overturning,on .9th and Puget Way a year ago there had been requests to restrict traffic on Route 524. Routes 524,and,104-and.'220th Street'were.uiider..construction at.the and it was thought best to finish the construction before making any changes. Subsequently the State Highway Department did change the signing on FAI-5 directing traffic to Route 104 for the ferry and downtown Edmonds. Letters were written to the Truckers' Association and Union Oil indicating the City was planning to restrict traffic on_.196th to through traffic. Truck counts were taken in June and there has not been a significant change in the number from March to June. The average. is about, 14 an hour and of the 14, 6 were going through an f and seemed to be large trucks headed for the or downtown Edmonds. The problem now is that of safety,on Route 524. In one accident the problem was brake action and in another it was improper:loading. Mr. Larsen said the.City Attorney has prepared an ordinance based - upon restricting truck traffic. He said this authority is based upon placing load limits to save the streets but, in fact, we are not interested in that but in protecting residents. He said he recommended passing this ordinance, but in transmitting it to the State Highway commission it should be indicated to them that safety is the issue here and that possibly they should'do some other things such as getting the old inspection program back. He said he felt this was the only`.thing he could 'see to do for now and that he still disagrees it is for the protection of the streets. He felt we should indicate more appropriate legislation should be developed for safety. Councilman Gellert referred to the 10,000 pounds limit and questioned what motor homes weigh. Chief Foster answered that they do exceed that weight, but the o-rdinance is written to apply to commercial vehicles so motor homes would not be prohibited. Chief Foster reported on the accident of May 10 in which a truck lost its load of pipe. He said the vehicle was licensed for 78,000 pounds and his load was only 76,000 pounds. The load was 12 1/2 feet high, but he was allowed 13 1/2 feet. He said the load was mostly air space because it was pipe. He said their opinion was that the load was im- proper, but not illegal. The truck had gone around the bend at a legal speed but some small jar could start the load moving. Chief Foster said he felt his ordinance would be in the best interest'of safety. He said this will be the fifth street to be covered by this orddnance and it has been reasonably effective for the others. He said he could not put officers there all the time and that it was generally felt that truck drivers are basically safe drivers. Mr. Larson p6nted out that the City Council in May had passed an ordinance reducing the speed on Route 524 from 76th to llth Avenue to 30 mph. He said whatever ordinance we passed restricting the use or speed on a State Highway is subject to approval of the State Highway Commission, that signs cannot be put up until they approve it. He said he didn't see why they would not approve this, but the 10,000 pounds -limit on the sign route may --present a problem. The public hearing was then -:opened. Mr. Delbert Johnson of 859.Puget Way said the fish and steel tubing were both dumped in his yard. He felt this proposed ordinance would cover most of the problem and he'appreciated the speed with which it was prepared. He said he would like to see the 30 mph speed limit all the way from Highway 99 and have it patrolled. • Bill Gouch, an engineer, and investigated the conditions around the curve -and prepared a graph. He said the elevation influence is neglible and that.the load swaying is caused by a dip in the road. He explained his analysis of the road. He said he is endorsing the ordinance. He noted another accident had occurred last week in which a truck going up the hill with a bulldozer on it lost power and went in the ditch. He said it could have gone down the hill. He said most vehicles speed coming around the courve because it can't be prtrolled all the time. He recommended the 10,000 pounds load -limit since the road cannot be patrolled all the time. Al Hill of 849 Puget Way said he didn't understand why the City allows this to be a State Highway. He said he discussed it with the State Highway Commissioner who told him the City could make this a City street. Councilman Gellert explained that this was partly true. He said all jurisdictions through which it goes form the nearest State Highway can petition it to be removed, but it would not be the City of Edmonds alone. He said the City of Lynnwood had declined to go Along with Edmonds on this and Edmonds connot. do it alone. Councilman Gellert said'Edmonds had petitioned -for this last year. He also pointed out that there is the State Highway Commission, as opposed to the Highway Department. He said the Director of Highways is not the Commissioner'and possibly he had not talked'to'.the Commissioner but the Highway -Director. He said'the Highway Department is strictly administrative, whereas the Commission makes the policy. The public hearing was then closed. MOTION: A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON,,THAT ORDINANCE #1852 BE ADOPTED, PROHIBITING THE OPERATION OF COMMERCIAL VEHICLES HAVING LICENSED GROSS WEIGHT IN EXCESS°OF 10,000 POUNDS UPON SR 524 FROM THE EAST CITY LIMITS TO DAYTON STREET. MOTION CARRIED. REPORT ON STATUS OF PROPOSED PARK BOND ISSUE • Park Director Rod Garretson and Chairman of the Park Board Larry Bailey reviewed the results of community hearings which had been held regarding park improvements and a bond issue. The hearings were held in an effort to find out what the citizens of Edmonds were interested in regarding park development before holding a bond issue election this fall. The Park Board was disappointed in the attendance, which totaled only 53. Support was indicated in park development, covering the Yost Park Pool and land acquisition. The Park Board recommended that the Council approve promotion of G.O. Bond vote this fall, but felt it should be in separate parts -for park development, a pool cover and land acquisition. There was some discussion regarding costs of an election and then lengthy discussion about a cover for the pool. Park Director Garretson said he was asking this evening for authorization to hire an architect -,to design severa concepts for a pool cover. He said there is $6,000 isn the pool contingency fund which could fund this. After that an estimate could ve botained for what is selected. It was the general consensus that there probably is enough support; -for a bond issue, but for the pool coveriin particular it was felt that accurate estimates were essential MOTION: so that if it were passed the work could be accomplished with the funds available. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GEtLERT, THAT THE COUNCIL AUTHORIZE AS. MUCH AS $5,000 OUT OF THE POOL CONSTRUCTION FUNDS TO BE PAID TO THE O.R.B. COMPANY OF RENTON TO DESIGN SEVERAL .POOL COVER CONCEPTS WITH COST ESTIMATES FOR A'COVER ON THE YOST PARK POOL, TO BE COMPLETED.BY THE AUGUST 17 MEETING. Councilman Nordquist'inquired about funds which had been committed for a three meter.diving board. Park Director Garretson replied that when they got to point where the enclosure for the pool failed he felt that to be too much of an investment for a board to be used such a few months. Councilman Nordquist said he didn't like to see funds shuffled around when allocated for a specific thing'. Councilman Geller-t said he felt very few people would ever use that board and he agreed it would not have been money well spent. THE MOTION THEN CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMAN CLEMENT OPPOSED. MOTION: COUNCILMAN CARNS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GELLERT, THAT JULY 13 BE SET -FOR A JOINT REPORT PROM THE PARK BOARD, PARK DIRECTOR, THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, SPECIFICALLY IN REGARD TO MAINTENANCE AS THE THE OVERALL'PROGRAM OF THE BOND ISSUES AND THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE COSTS THAT WOULD BE ENTAILED, EXCLUDING THE YOST PARK POOL. MOTION CARRIED. 5 MOTION: A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN CARNS, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST, THAT JULY 27 BE SET • FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ENTIRE PARK BOND ISSUE. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Gellert noted that Earl Stay had been asked for an appraisal on the Haines property quite some time ago and that we should either get the appraisal or get a new appraiser. A MOTION: MOTION WAS THEN MADE BY;COUNCILMAN GELLERT, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ANDERSON, TO INSTRUCT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO ADVISE THE APPRAISER THAT THE APPRAISAL ON THE HAINES PROPERTY MUST BE IN BY JUNE 29, INSTRUCTING HIM HTAT WE HAVE WAITED ALMOST A YEAR FOR THIS AND IF HE CANNOT GET IT BY THAT DATE HE SHOULD SO INFORM THE COUNCIL SO THAT ANOTHER APPRAISER CAN BE OBTAINED. MOTION CARRIED. REPORT ON BIDS FOR WATER METERS Public Works Director Herb.Gilbo reviewed the call for bids for Rockwell SR Displacement Type Cold Water Meters.
