on Consent Agenda

read of some problems when it was tested. He was advised that the tank had been repainted and the
14OTION: Staff report indicated the purity -tests were acceptable to. the City. COUNCILMAN CARNS MOVED, SECONDED
BY COUNCILMAN GOULD, TO APPROVE ITEM (E)..ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED.
PROPOSED.ORDINANCE FOR PARKING RESTRICTIONS IN CENTRAL BUSINESS.DISTRICT
Item G on Consent Agenda
Councilman Gould felt the Council should examine what they were doing on parking restrictions,
noting that the Staff would'be making a traffic study that will give them the opportunity to make
comprehensive changes. He said the changes provided in this.ordinance would be costly.. The Staff
had advised that there are approximately 150 signs in the Central Business District which will
require changing and recommended that the proposed ordinance be amended to read two-hour parking
between 8:00 a.m. and'6:00 p.m.,.Monday.through Saturday,except holidays, which results in a cost
of $10 each, or a total of $1,500 to accomplish. Any additional wording would require new signs at
an approximate cost of $42 each, or a total of $6,300. .Councilman Gould suggested that the Staff's
recommendation be accepted and that further changes be delayed,until the traffic study is accomplished.
Mayor'Harrison added that the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce was. in favor of this recommendation.
Councilman Kasper noted that the map provided of the Central:Business District does not correspond
to the streets stated in the ordinance. He was in agreement with parking restrictions for the
Central Business District but he commented.that when changes..are.made it gets into, a lot of money.
MOTION: COUNCILMAN CARNS THEN MOVED, SECONDED.BY.000NCILMAN GOULD,..TO..ADOPT ORDINANCE 2099 WITH THE CHANGES
READING FROM 8:00 TO 6:00 P.M., RATHER THAN FROM 9:00 TO'4:00 P.M.. MOTION CARRIED. (It was subsequently
determined by the City Attorney that the Council's intent.had been to follow the Staff's recommendation,
but the proposed ordinance had excepted Saturdays from the restrictions and the Staff's recommendation
had not, and the motion did not state a change in the exception for Saturdays. Therefore, the
amended ordinance will be placed on the next Consent Agenda in order to clarify this point.)

water tank at Five Corners. The intent was to paint it in the same color and texture as the new
tank. It was questioned whether the tank needed repainting, whether this was budgeted, and what it
would cost. Councilman Gould suggested the call for bids be authorized but that the Council request
the above information before awarding the bid. COUNCILMAN CARNS.MOVED, SECONDED BY'COUNCILWOMAN

COUNCIL
Councilman Gould referred to a memo from M.A.A. Dibble recommending another reception to honor
boards and commissions and commenting on last year's successful reception. M.A.A. Dibble suggested
the date of November 30, if the Council wished to have the reception. There was general agreement
that the reception should be held, and financing was discussed. Last year the Council members had
personally financed the reception.. On.question, City Attorney Wayne Tanaka stated it would be
proper to finance such from the Council Fund. The concensus of the Council was that the Council
would personally pay for any liquor provided.at the reception and the Council Fund would be used to
pay for the other items. Councilman Gould received direction to proceed with plans for the reception.
Councilman Kasper said he felt'the ordinance regarding Sunset Ave. was illegal because it caused
people to back into driveways to turn around and, further, he felt the people of Edmonds should be
able to enjoy the waterfront view. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka said a legal opinion would be pro-
vided regarding that ordinance.
There was no further business to come before.the Council, and the meeting.was adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
[This meeting was scheduled one hour earlier than the normal meeting time because of a Boundary
Review Board hearing on.a proposed Edmonds annexation election and to afford Council members the
opportunity to attend if they so desired.. All department heads attended the Boundary Review Board
hearing.]
