19800408 City Council Minutes13 • April 1; 1980 - continued' assessed value of the property and,`indirectly, to storm water runoff. If a property has more impermeable surface contributing to storm water runoff, such as pavement, structures, and other improvements most likely it -will -be assessed at a higher valuation than one not so improved (and not contributing so much to runoff):.- However, General Obligation Bonds and special. levies must be voted on by the populace and those on upper slopes and not badly affected may be opposed, while those badly affected would vote in favor. Approximately $1,000,000 could be raised per year by levy and the entire sum.could.be raised at once by bonding. Mr. Herzberg recommended the Revenue Bonds as the most equitable.and practical approach to a solution when the bond market will justify it. All improved properties, whether hooked up.or not-, would be billed, but unimproved properties would not be.contributing to the runoff and would not be billed as they would not have water hookups. Councilman Kasper commented that most of the areas other than Meadowdale are built up and the.probl.ems are "after development"; and the drainage problems in Meadowdale were there before developmentand it is questionable whether they will ever be solved. Further; the expense of the Meadowdale area will materially raise the value of those properties. Councilman Kasper felt some way should be found to levy against the property which will increase in value after improvement. .City Attorney Jim Murphy said the rates -do not have to be equal City-wide and the factors that can be classified are statutory (RCW 35.67.020) and there is quite a bit of flexibility, so-Meadowdale users could pay a higher rate. is 1 DISCUSSION ON LIBRARY FEASIBILITY STUDY Council President Nordquist reported.that at the Council's.dinner meeting earlier this evening they had discussed the space needs of the City and that discussion had focused around the library. They had considered the recommendation of the Sno-Isle Regional Library and discussed expansion at the present site, and...they discussed the Anderson Center in its current condition as well as.with the architect's proposal. No vote was taken but the general consensus was to continue to consider the library for the Anderson Center with the possibility of asking the architect for a.proposal with the library above ground. Also, -the Council did not want to stress the sports center concept, but rather*to consider a facility across the street on the School District athletic field, therefore separating the.sports area from the cultural area of the City. Councilwoman Allen added that Arai Jackson had based their plans on information the Council gave them at that point, but now.the Council wished..to back off a little and think of a sports facility.at the sports field. Mayor Harrison stated that the Friends of the Library had $5,000 and had discussed coming up with a preliminary sketch.of what they could do by adding to the existing library without taking out either.of the annex. buildings. Councilwoman Allen responded that the Council felt it,would be very difficult to come up with 20,000 sq. ft. by extending`the-existing library, and when .the Anderson site was purchased one of the primary considerations was that the library..be moved there. Mayor Harrison, however, felt the present site was the most salable location to.take to the public. Councilman Kasper said the Anderson Center library, as proposed, had not been studied adequately and -the Council should see at least one more plan of what could -be done there. Ann Wermus,.Library Board Chairman, said the basis of her presentation had been how.to sell a library,,and she asked how long a study would take. Parks & Recreation Division Manager Jim Jessel said they have a plan on the board of a library in the place of the sports:arena. Councilman Gould said,the Friends of the Library could do whatever they wanted with their money, and they could spend it for a schematic on the current site if that was their. desire. At the same time, he felt'it was important that the people know the Council is not satisfied with the development plans for the Anderson Center. It appears to them that it will..be too densely used and the sports complex bothers them. They prefer that the sports activities.be focused in the area of the sports field. They want to see what can'be done for a good library and other cultural facilities and still maintain open space at the east end of the field. A e felt Arai Jackson should be at*the April 15 meeting to demonstrate what they can do. Councilwoman Allen commented to Mrs. Wermus that the Council is 1•ooking for a long term amenity in the form of the library, while the library people are looking for extra space. Before the meeting was adjourned, D.-L. Brechner of 15908.68th.W. asked if someone would check the contamination of the beach at the area of the Laebugten.Marina which had been reported this evening*., Councilman Nordquist said he would contact Dr..Hyatt. There was'no further business to come before the Council, and.the meeting adjourned at 11:25 p.m. IRENE VARNEY MORAN, Ci -Clerk HARVE.H.

COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN, TO APPROVE THE BALANCE OF THE CONSENT. AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. The approved items on the Consent Agenda -included the following: (A) Roll call. (B) Approval.of Minutes of April.l, 1980. (D) Authorization to sign lease agreement for police cars.. PROPOSED ORDINANCE FOR CASH PREPAYMENT EXPIRATION ON SID-1-79 [Item (C) on Consent Agenda] Councilman Naughten removed this item from the Consent Agenda and asked for an explanation. City Attorney Jim Murphy responded that at the end of the project when the costs are known notices are sent out and those paying have the option to pay in cash.or to pay over an extended period of time. -For such a small balance as remains on this project it is not profitable to sell bonds so typically the project is sold to another fund, in this case the LID Guaranty Fund. Councilman Naughten asked why the interest rate was only 7%. Finance Director Art Housler responded that when the ordinance.was .passed to begin the project the interest maximum was set at 8% and the rate was compared.with the last LID which was 7 1/2%, and because of the MOTION: fact that the City had contributed very heavily in this project the 7% rate was determined to be appropriate. COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GOULD, TO APPROVE ITEM (D) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, ADOPTING ORDINANCE 2128. MOTION CARRIED. MAYOR Mayor Harrison advised that in regard.to the 1979 audit the auditor had informed the City that both the General Government operation and the.Water/Sewer operation will receive clear opinions. He was very impressed with the improvements in the Finance Department. COUNCIL Councilman Naughten noted that a memorandum from M.A.A. Dibble indicated that the State Auditor's Office had advised that the new Council.President office is considered.a new position not falling under the statutory prohibition -against current term increases in Councilmanic salaries. Mr. Dibble stated that the present per diem arrangement requires an audit trail which is a troublesome administrative burden and he urged that the Council pass an ordinance to substitute MOTION: a special $200 monthly Council President salary in place of the current $10 per diem allowance. COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN, TO INSTRUCT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A SPECIAL $200 MONTHLY COUNCIL PRESIDENT SALARY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ABOVE INFORMATION. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Naughten noted that there was a memorandum from Councilman Kasper who was out.of town and who asked that the hearing on.the Community Development Code, scheduled for April 15, MOTION: be postponed until April 22 as he was very interested in participating. COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN Withdrawn MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN, TO POSTPONE THE HEARING ON THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE TO APRIL 22, 1980. 'Councilwoman_Childers-Jaech felt it was too.late to do that in view of all of the notifications. Councilman'Gould suggested the hearing be held as scheduled but also be continued to'April 22, not taking final action until that time... THE MOTION AND THE SECOND MOTION: WERE WITHDRAWN. COUNCILMAN GOULD THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN,.THAT A SECOND READING OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE BE SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 22, 1980. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Nordquist stated that there are some unanswered questions regarding the Planning Advisory Board and he felt there should be some further Council,discussion. COUNCILMAN.NORDQUIST is MOTION: MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN, THAT A DISCUSSION OF THE .FUTURE PLANNING ADVISORY BOARD BE SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 29, 1980. MOTION CARRIED. Councilwoman Childers-Jaech asked if the City Attorney could provide information as to the Council's options regarding the Hearing Examiner to be hired. Mayor Harrison responded that the advertisement for the position already had been published and applications are being received. Councilman Nordquist read a memorandum from Parks and Recreation Manager Jim Jessel regarding a public grant writing company, International Systems, Inc., suggesting the Council may want to consider using their services. Councilwoman Allen responded that the Finance Committee had discussed this and they felt there was.adequate expertise on the Staff.to do the work. It was. decided that the brochure from International Systems, Inc. would be provided to the Staff to get their opinions. Councilman Nordquist read a memorandum from Parks and Recreation Manager Jim Jessel regarding a request from Edmonds Community College that the City take over the Community Schools Program. for the Esperance area, -'classes for which are held.at Madrona.Junior High School. Mr. Jessel's memorandum listed the advantages of doing so and stated the program could be returned to the college if it did not turn out to be profitable. Mayor Harrison added.that Edmonds Community College has suffered a cutback in its budget and that is why they are suggesting this. They have to pay their instructors more than the municipalities do, and Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood are cooperating with them in this program, which Mayor Harrison thought.Edmonds should do also. Councilwoman A11.en said she felt uncomfortable with the Citv of..Edmonds going into an area that just voted down annexation so recently and so decisively. She said those people are very touchy about it and if the City runs the program and makes money on it,the City will hear from those people. Mayor Harrison suggested the program might be moved.to Edmonds Senior High School. Mr. Jessel noted that if approved the classes would not.begin until the fall. Council- woman Allen suggested the Council be provided more information and then consider it. Informat- • ion to be provided -should include costs to be incurred by the City, space needs, Staff involvement, • April.. 8, 1980 .. cord hued ,MOTION.:: and whether the program would be only for people outside of the City. COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GOULD,.THAT A FURTHER DISCUSSION REGARDING THE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS PROGRAM BE SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 29, 1980. MOTION CARRIED. Councilwoman Allen noted that.some time ago the Puget Sound Council of Governments had asked for a representative from the City to serve on its transporation..task force. She said Steve Callendar had been recommended to her for that appointment. Mayor Harrison. agreed that Mr. Ca.11endar would be an MOTION: excellent representative and asked.for confirmation of that.appointment. COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GOULD, TO CONFIRM THE MAYOR'S APPOINTMENT -OF STEVE CALLENDAR TO SERVE ON THE PSCOG TRANSPORTATION TASK FORCE. MOTION CARRIED. 1 MOTION: 1 Councilwoman Allen reported that it had been brought to her attention that there is a piece of property at the Westgate intersection -which is being used virtually as a used car lot, and she asked if that could'be investigated. Mayor Harrison said the property is owned by the shopping center at that location and he would look into it. Councilman Naughten said he recalled when the merchants asked if they could acquire it and make it into a mini -park, ..and he thought it might possibly be improved along those lines, possibly having a bus shelter. .Mayor Harrison said he would have to check to see how much right-of-way.there is for a bus stop. COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST, THAT THE COUNCIL RECEIVE A REPORT ON MAY 20, 1980 REGARDING THE SUBJECT WESTGATE PROPERTY. MOTION CARRIED. Councilwoman...Allen said she had been told there are.some 54.people in City supervisory positions who do not have'first-aid cArds.and,_inasmuc{i as there are WISHA.requirements in that regard, the City may be liable for fine. Mayor -Harrison responded that there are 54 people on a list who have expressed a desire.to take the course and'a schedule is being worked.out so.the training may be accomplished on a continuing basis. Councilwoman Allen was advised that.the.WISHA requirement is that one person on a crew should be trained. Council President Nordquist saida.he.had.called for an Executive Session following this evening's meeting for Council members only,_and.no.Staff would be required.to attend. PREVIEW OF COUNCIL/STAFF RETREAT.BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT Council President Nordquist briefly discussed the process of -community improvement, and.he related from those retreats. This year's.retreat.will be press to attend. REVIEW OF FEES FOR USE OF BALL`.FIELDS role the Council/Staff retreat has played in the some of the accomplishments which have resulted April 11-12 and he invited, the public and the Parks and Recreation Division Manager.Jim Jessel had submitted a history and description of charges for ball fields in Edmonds. Revenue from such rental in 1979 was $8,300 which covered less than 25% of the costs of maintaining and scheduling the fields. Even -at the higher rates the City is financing more than 75% of the costs of operating the fields: The current price for playing fields was established after surveying other..cities' field prices, most of which are similar or higher. Compara- tive fees were provided. Mr.;Jessel a.lso.broke down the maintenance costs, the total being over $39,000 per year. Councilwoman Allen observed that the budget probably would have to be revised downward before the end of the year anyway, and these appeared to her to be a minimum of raises. Councilman Naughten also felt that.fees of 8t 7-20t per pl.ayer.hour were not too great a burden to help pay for some of the costs of the fields. Councilman Gould commented that the City's subsidy is important and the costs to use the fields..should be as low,as.possible, but the City already was carrying 75% of those costs. He wondered if anything could..be done to lower the costs. Kevin McLaughlin of the Boys' Club said they had maintained the fields themselves and the City had not been doing -anything, so he did not.think..the.City should charge what.it does.. He said if -the Boys' Club , i s going to be paying.,for the. fi e.l ds he felt the fields should be maintained.. He said a backstop needed repair for a long.time and the grass had not. -been mowed. Fred Grucker, representing Little League, spoke about the Pine.S.t. field. He said there..is no lighting there and no sanikan, and the fill which is brought in.is.rocky. He said that field had been laid out and developed originally by the Little•League organization except for the fencing and that they could not pay the higher fees because they are virtually nonprofit. He was.concerned that the.fees were.raised this Year and probably would be raised again next ,year. Councilman Gould suggested that the five fields be surveyed to identify what work.would-have to be done at each for the rest of the ,year. Kevin McLaughlin added that he tries to. run his Boys' Club programs for nothing, and the people are wondering why he is charging more.for.the T-shirts and caps which are helping to cover some of the other costs. He.thought the parents feel they are.paying twice, first in taxes and then paying again. He noted that adults in leagues do not have problems coming up with sponsors and paying for their needs. Councilwoman Allen observed that parents do.not complain about, paying dues for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, so it would.not seem that Little League would be such'a big issue. Mr. Grucker did not think the Little League fees should be higher.than.they were last year. Mayor Harrison recommended that the City.establish rates for.Little.League members through the age of 12 at $1.50 per hour and adopt the proposed.schedule for all.those.over that age,... Councilwoman Allen felt the minimum should be $2.00. Mr. Jessel was asked to prepare a study for the April. 22, 1980 meeting looking at the situation with three rate structures: (.1) The proposed fees of.$2.50 - $3.50; (2) Little League fees at $2..00; and (3) Little League fees at $1.50. (Councilman Naughten left the meeting during this discussion because.of illness.) DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED SUNSET.AV.E..ALTERNATIVES Parks and Recreation Division Manager .J,im..Jessel asked for. Council direction regarding the proposals presented March 8. His staff.had.f.urther.refined Alternative 2 of .those proposals and Landscape Architect Nancy Dilworth discussed.,that.. She said they are trying to create an amenity for public use and tie it in to solve some of .the traffic problems, and .theywere considering a 10:00 p.m. parking curfew. The refined Alternative 2 provided two -.way traffic from Main St.. to Edmonds St. and then a one-way=meandering traffic flow to Caspers and on to 2nd Ave. Councilman Gould noted that April 8, 1980 - continued • Councilman Kasper had provided written input for this discussion, and one of his concerns was the one-way traffic which he felt should go south rather than north. M.A.A. Charles Dibble responded that the first complaints received last year.were from residents regarding the many cars going southbound to the area of the ferry. Acting Police Chief Dan Prinz added that one of the problems today is that the traffic is two-way but you can -only enter Sunset atone end. Ms. Dilworth suggested that any•change be tried with temporary diverters, and City Engineer Jim.Adams called attention to the fact that'the last change which was made.cost almost $5,000 for signs and a change.will probably cost that much again. It was noted.that one of the dangers with the two-way traffic as it is now is that because of the lack of a_convenient way to stop and view the water, drivers pull over to the - west side and park facing the wrong direction, creating a danger.when they re-enter the traffic flow. Mr. Adams said one of the Engineering Division's recommendations last year was that traffic go south, and Councilman Kasper had supported that suggestion but he was not present when that hearing was held --and; unfortunately, he was not present this evening, but he had expressed that view in his memorandum to the Council. Mr. Adams felt if the traffic were to go southbound there should be a restriction against turning right to the ferry from Sunset. Councilwoman Goetz who lives on 2nd Ave. commented that the current traffic arrangement really. had not yet been tested, having been put into effect late last year. She liked the beautification the latest proposal would afford, although she noted the traffic is forced over to 2nd Ave. Dewey Leyda of 322 Sunset felt nothing should be changed. He said his .home is located right at the spot where everyone chooses to turn so they turn into his driveway, but he did not object to that, preferring that to the problems they experienced previously. He also objected to the City's putting money into making a park out of property it does not own, saying the property belongs to the railroad. Mayor Harrison suggested the configuration be left as it is into the summer. Councilman Gould asked that the Staff make an estimate of what it would cost to put in a temporary configuration for about two blocks of the refined Alternative 2. Councilwoman Allen said she would go along.with the refined Alternative 2 to see how it works, but she felt the traffic should be two-way.. The.Staff will prepare a cost estimate for a temporary configuration for the April 29 meeting. • FURTHER DISCUSSION ON.WATER/SEWER RATES Public Works Director Fred Herzberg discussed a proposed ordinance which would increase the water/sewer rates in line with'the rate structures discussed March 18, 1980. He noted that the average family household in Edmonds is 3.17 people, using 1,216 cu. ft. of water per month. It was suggested, with regard to the water rates, that all but the new transmission mains amounts be charged, for a total average bill of $11.72, rather than $12.32 which would include replacement reserves. Mayor Harrison then suggested, with regard to the sewer rates, that raising the.monthly bill to $12.06 at this time would be excessive and would accumulate quitea large amount of money in the sewer fund that would not be used for some time, so it might be better to raise the rate halfway up the scale and do half of the work this year, taking another look next year. That rate would be $7.85 per month. After further discussion, it was agreed that one public hearing on this should be adequate and that the previously scheduled May 6 hearing should be.dropped. The public hearing on this matter will be April 15, 1980.- REPORT FROM POLICE DEPARTMENT AND PLANNING DIVISION REGARDING PROPOSED 11:00 P.M. CLOSING TIME FOR CONVENIENCE STORES MOTION: MOT ION : The Police Department and Planning Division had discussed the possibility of limiting service hours of convenience stores in all areas where they are allowed, except in the General Commercial zones. General Commercial zoning is located primarily along Highway 99, with some along 212th from Highway 99 to within approximately 300' east of 76th Ave. W. These areas generally are adjacent to heavily traveled streets and usually are well removed from single family residential areas. A survey of police reports on -the two all-night convenience stores for 1979 reflected that between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. there were 4 reports, between 3:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. there were 6 reports, and between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. there were 26 reports. In addition, the Police Chief observed that after the taverns close the open convenience stores draw a constant stream of traffic, and by watching these stores for a period of time the officers can anticipate potential problems for that night. It was the Police Chief's opinion that this type of activity should be restricted from the vicinity of residential areas and the recommendation was that limiting the all --night operation of convenience' stores to General Commercial zones would be a reasonable way to provide the convenience of 24-hour service, while removing the nuisance factor from residential neighborhoods. Mayor Harrison said'he favored this recommendation. COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST, THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY BE INSTRUCTED TO DRAFT AN ORDINANCE TO BE PRESENTED AT THE APRIL 29 MEETING, RESTRICT-:• ING GROCERY STORES AND CONVENIENCE STORES (SUCH AS 7-11 STORES) WHICH ARE LICENSED TO SELL BEER AND WINE TO OPERATING HOURS OF 6:00 A.M. TO 11:00 P.M. IN ALL ZONES BUT THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONES. MOTION CARRIED. DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED.COMMUNITY IMPACT STATEMENT REGARDING BUSINESSES Councilman Nordquist suggested there should be some input from the Planning/Commission on this matter, but Planning Consultant John LaTourelle said he did. not'.:know.'what:atandards•:woul.d�,be 'used. Councilwoman Allen questioned whether this really would afford much.con.trol as compared to the workload it would cause. Councilwoman Goetz commented that Lynnwood feels there is some merit' because they can'control saunas, adult bookstores, drug paraphernalia,stores, etc. Councilwoman Allen,suggested this be deferred until July, during which time challenges in other cities can be studied and it can be discussed at the AWC convention with people from cities who have such ordinances. COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN, THAT THE DISCUSSION OF A PROPOSED COMMUNITY IMPACT STATEMENT FOR BUSINESSES BE CONTINUED TO AUGUST 5, 1980, AT WHICH THE MERITS OF SUCH A REQUIREMENT CAN BE WEIGHED, OTHER CITIES' SUCCESSES WITH SUCH ORDINANCES CAN BE EVALUATED, AND IT CAN -BE DETERMINED WHETHER ADOPTION OF SUCH AN ORDINANCE SHOULD BE PURSUED. MOTION CARRIED. 7 11 • April 8, 1980 - continued 17 fl 1 1 1 1 DISCUSSION OF CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY.REGARDING PROBLEMS SUCH AS.BRAUTASET/RINE CASE City Attorney Jim Murphy said the City has ordinances patterned -after public nuisance ordinances, as distinguished from private nuisances. He said you cannot define every nuisance that will come along, and only the courts can deal with private nuisances. He felt the City basically has adequate ordinances. Planning Consultant John LaTourelle said in:this case there was really nothing -the City could.put-its fingeron and quantify . He noted that the Health Depart-' ment found no violations. Chuck Ca.in,of 1060 6th Ave. S..,.a.neighbor across the street from where this problem occurred, said he thought there should -be some kind of ordinance against back yard boat building. He had visited the Brautaset home and said the smell was terrible from boat construction being done next -door. Mayor Harrison suggested there should be some limit as to how big a project can be, or -that greater setbacks be established for such activity. He commented that fiberglas has a:very.noxious odor, and -that he would hate to live next to it. This was discussed further., but no action was taken. PRESENTATION OF ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT Finance Director Art Housler presented the Annual Financial Report of the City of Edmonds for 1979 which had been submitted to the State Auditor, together.with.a General Purpose Statement which summarizes the financial. position of .the City. Mr.*Housler reviewed the two documents with the Council: -to familiarize them with,the composition of ..the documents for ease in use. He said this type of document will enhance- the City's position to bonding companies. The State Auditor's opinion is expected approximately May 1, 1980 and it will be inserted at that time. The report will not be submitted to any rating companies until that is received. There wasno further business to come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned to Executive Session at 11:25 p.m. IRENE VARNEY MORAN, CityUClerk April 15, 1980 a HARVE H.
