Bob Gustafson, 9602 Olympic'View Dr.., asked where:the.noise.would be measured, and Mr. Tanaka responded that'it would be from the property line.. Phil King, 7910 79th P1. S.W., said there should be an ordinance requiring that cars have_a legal muffler system and that would take care of most of,the problems. He felt,.measuring noise levels would..be..meaningless. Chief Foster said he would obtain the Mountlake Terrace and.Lynnwood'noise ordinances and that he would check with Seattle and Everett, to see if .they have.had any enforcement problems. Councilman Kasper commented that Chief Foster has always felt automobile noise isthe hardest to enforce, and Chief Foster said it is hard to enforcebecause there are.a..lot of.cars out there and not many officers. Councilman Kasper added that Sunset Ave. has a loud radio problem even today, although many of,the other problems there have been alleviated. Ray Martin,.18704 94th Ave. W.., asked,if.there was not any kind of ordinance for such things as disturbing.the peace, and -Mr.. Tanaka responded that there is b.ut.it really is not suited to these kinds of problems, covering such things as loud parties, drinking, etc. Mrs. Soapes; 7916 217th S.W., said it.had been more expensive -in their neighborhood not having a noise ordinance because they.had called the police several._times.a day and if there had been an ordinance the problem would not.have gone on so.long. Mr.. King said he would like the Council to. set a date this evening for passage of a. noise ordinance, realizing they needed time to consider it but asking for a definite date. The discussion was closed to. -the audience. COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN KASPER, TO PLACE THE PROPOSED NOISE ORDINANCE ON THE AGENDA OF -THE OCTOBER 7; 1980 WORK MEETING FOR FURTHER DELIBERATION, AND.TO PLACE IT ON THE OCTOBER 21, 1980 AGENDA FOR PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION CARRIED. CONSIDERATION_ OF ESTABLISHING AN"INFORMAL..CONFERENCE PROCEDURE. FOR "NEIGHBORHOOD DISPUTES" M.A.A. Charles Dibble had suggested adoption of a procedure.whereby an informal conference, presided over by the City Prosecutor,'would be held in deciding whether.a criminal complaint should be filed in certain types of cases. The complainant(s) and the proposed defendant(s) would be in attendance, and it would afford the opportunity.for the prosecutor to.hear and evaluate the contentions of both sides. 'At the conclusion he would know whether a complaint should be filed or whether the matter could be'settled. Mr. Dibble felt such.a procedure would be well suited for neighborhood disputes and marital disputes,. and neighborhood.disputes such as the Council had recently heard would have a more proper forum. Councilwoman Goetz said she felt the.Council should not be hearing some of the things they'hear, and that problems should be resolved at the lowest level. She felt the City had the staff -and professionalism to do -that. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka said the general intent would be that these disputes be forwarded to the Prosecutor.or the proper department head.

The public portion of the hearing was opened. Bob Morrison, 250 Beach P1., suggested that the four-hour limit be adopted for daytime hours only, so that residents and visitors could utilize the waterfront for longer .periods of time at night.

HEARING TO ESTABLISH SMALL WORKS ROSTER Public Works Director Fred Herzberg reported that the State legislature had enacted a new section to the statutes governing the public works.contracts of code cities. This section allows code cities with a population the size of Edmonds', to use a."small works roster" in awarding public works contracts estimated at $30,000 or less.. This roster.must include all contractors who request that they be listed on §d6k roster and who are licensed to do work in the State of Washington, if -there -is such a license required. The City must invite .proposals from all "appropriate" contractors whenever the contract is estimated to cost less than $30,000. The City's invitation must include a description of the scope and nature of the work, as well as the materials and equipment required. The City is • required "whenever possible" to invite at least one minority contractor otherwise qualified. And the City must award the contract to the.lowest responsible bidder. Mr. Herzberg stated that use of this roster -would eliminate the expensive and time-consuming process of advertising contracts. Councilman Gould asked.how the list would-be established and updated, and City Engineer Jim Adams, responded that the list would be made up of all contractors who previously had submitted -bids or actually worked on contracts for the City. Also, various contractors' publications will be included on the mailing list. Councilwoman Goetz expressed her concern over inclusion of minority contractors, and Mr. Adams stated that they would make every attempt.to invite at least one minority contractor to bid on each contract. Councilman Gould asked what criteria would be used to remove contractors from the roster, and Mr. Herzberg replied that a.procedure will.be established for removal of those contractors found not to be responsible or.those who, after having been awarded such a contract, refuse to perform the same. He indicated that this does not happen very often. The public portion' of the hearing was opened. Bill Johnson, 704 Maple St., suggested that periodically projects be advertised to inform more contractors, and Mr. Herzberg stated that most contractors belong to associations or clearinghouses that will be included on the mailing list.. No.one else wished to speak on this matter, and the hearing was closed.

HEARING ON PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT...ROLL, PROPOSED STREET.LID.ON SPRAGUE ST. BETWEEN 7TH AND 8TH City Engineer Jim Adams reviewed..the.specifics' of the LID, after which the hearing was.opened to the .public. Bill Whiteside, 747 Sprague, said he -was the spokesman for.the minority property owners involved, and that the promoters of the L:ID..do..not face Sprague St..but the other property owners do, so if there was going to be a street they felt itshould be a.pleasure to live on and that it should enhance the properties on that street. Therefore they had prepared..a list -of amendments to the LID which they asked to be incorporated,.the major changes.being.widening_of the street to 32' and including some other properties:wh.ich would benefit. Mr. Adams said the requested changes would increase the cost by 65%-70%. He said .the.24' width was..a.street standard.and in. addition by making the street wider a number of`large trees have be would to removed.: Widening.the.street would also increase.:runoff. He added that the boundaries of the.LID.cannot.be increased without starting from the beginning. City Attorney Jim Murphy affirmed that.to expand.,the LID would necessitate starting. over, and he noted that there are very strict notice procedures required'by..State law.s'o to start from the beginning would take 6-8 weeks, resulting in letting of -the contract,in the middle of winter, an inappropriate time to lay asphalt. Sproule McGinnesss 222*Sunset Ave., sa.id:he was representing the Harrises and himself who would be for paying a7ll of the water system.and..70%.of the rest of the assessment, and that they had petitioned for a 24' wide street after;consulting....wi.th..the City Engineer. He said that width street would allow .18' for parking on either s.ide, and.with more.than:70% participation they would like to keep the costs down as much as possible.
