PROPOSED ORDINANCE EXTENDING BANK FINANCING OF LID 206 [Item (D) on Consent Agenda] The proposed ordinance would extend the bank financing from June 1 to September 1, 1981, and the extension was necessitated because the project was not completed as anticipated. Councilman Gould asked why it was not completed, and City Engineer Jim Adams responded that they currently were in the process of closing it and the final hearing should be on either June 15 or June 22. The final assessment has not yet been completed. He said when the LID was started it was in a joint program r: 1 1 n LJ May 19, 1981 - continued 1 1 with.Lynnwood, with a small area of'Lynnwood to be sewered. Lynnwood ran into some problems with their portion of the LID, but they had gone jointly on the contract. Lynnwood did not get their LID passed in, time so that slowed down.the awarding of the contract. The additional financing cost will be $9,500, 33% of it to be borne by Lynnwood. The interest rate from June to September will be 10% and will be added as a cost of the assessment. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, TO APPROVE ITEM (D)ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, PASSING ORDINANCE 2208. MOTION CARRIED. Council - member Goetz was not present for the vote. COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION ON PARKS AND RECREATION STAFFING LEVEL [Item (F) on Consent Agenda]. Councilmember Nordquist noted that no proposals were submitted. Parks and Recreation Director Jim Jessel had requested that this item be postponed to May 26, 1981 in order that he might review with Mayor Harrison several Parks and Recreation organizational changes. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN, TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM TO MAY 26, 1981. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Goetz was not present for the vote. PROPOSED RESOLUTION-AMENDI•NG CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCEDURE [Item (I) on Consent Agenda] Councilmember Allen noted that a recommendation had not been received from the Professional Services Selection Committee. THEREFORE, COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM TO JUNE 9, 1981. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Goetz was not present for the vote. AUDIENCE Dan Rice, 18726 Sound View P1., whose business is Ac=cent Design, read a letter setting forth his objections to last week's award of bid to a Seattle firm for window coverings at the Anderson Center. He was the second lowest bidder, but said his bid was based on one additional window and also there was a clerical error in computing the tax on the bid which he had not caught. He said it was his responsibility to assure that his figures were correct, but he felt when there was such a small difference as there had been between his bid and the low bid, that preference should have been given him because he is an Edmonds merchant. He had assisted the Recreation Department in selecting materials and preparing specifications and he described his participation. He had not spoken when the bids were discussed by the Council because he had been advised that audience participation was not permitted at a work meeting. Councilmember Naughten responded that the Council slid discuss how close the bids were, but the City Attorney had advised that because of the bidding laws of this State the award had to be made tothe low bidder. He said it had been his understanding that the bids were on an "apples and apples" basis, and he did not know that Ac'cent Design's bid had an additional window covering. He further explained that work meetings are closed to citizen input unless they ask previously to speak on an issue, and when such a request is made it usually is granted. He noted that the Council did decide at that meeting to discuss giving preference to local businesses and that aspect will be pursued. Mr. Rice believed the Council had a choice not to accept the low bidder, and he said he would have been in a better and closer position to provide service to the City. HEARING ON PROPOSED RESOLUTION ADOPTING RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR HEARING EXAMINER Hearing Examiner James M. Driscoll had provided the proposed rules of procedure which he said are rather standard, and he said if they were adopted there should be no questions of appearance of fairness. He identified several typographical errors and suggested that the final sentence of section III.3.6 be eliminated because it was contradictory to the intent of the first sentence in that section. (During Mr. Driscoll's presentation Councilmember Goetz arrived, at 7:55 p.m.) Mr. Driscoll referred to section III.3.3 (Interference), and he said this section isolates the Hearino Examiner but it does not insulate him, and if he is not meeting the duties required of him he can be removed. This section prohibits any outside contact such as political pressure. He noted that he is liberal with the type of evidence allowed, but section VI.6.5 gives him discretion of admissibility. A question was asked regarding the time allowed for appeal and that allowed for reconsideration and whether that was concurrent. He responded that if.he were to deny a motion for reconsideration (the request must be filed within 10 days of the date_.of.. the Hearing;°Exam' ne.r's:.recommendatidn)., at that time the 10-day period would start for filing of an appeal. Mr. Driscoll said he is in the process of preparing a semi-annual report to present on July 7, and at that time he will be addressing some of the major issues he thinks could be improved or changed. The hearing was opened"to the public, no one wished to speak, and the hearing was closed. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO PASS RESOLUTION 499, ADOPTING THE RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR THE HEARING EXAMINER, WITH THE TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS CORRECTED AND THE LAST SENTENCE IN SECTION III.3.6. DELETED. Councilmember Gould noted that one of the things the Council said they would do was to review the de novo aspect of hearings on appeal. It was agreed -to add that to the July 7 Hearing Examiner agenda item. THE MOTION THEN CARRIED. HEARING ON RATE INCREASE FOR CABLE TV Councilmember Nordquist said he had asked that this be put on the agenda, upon receipt of the notice from Liberty TV Cable that the basic CATV service rate would be increased as of June 1, 1981. He only wanted the public to have an opportunity to speak on this if they. wished. Ted Lovett, General Manager of Liberty TV Cable, said the proposed adjustment would be in the amount of 7.1%. He stated that Ordinance 1783,allows them to increase their rates by an amount. not -exceeding -the percentage by which the CPI has risen for the Seattle area, and that the CPI already has risen 7.2%. The increase will be only on the basic CATV service, and the new rate will,be $9.25 per month. Mr. Lovett said Showtime is not covered in the franchise but they do not plan to increase the rate for it. In addition, he cannot change the.rates for another full year. He was questioned about service, and he said they are staffed 24 hours a day, with the office open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and an answering.service taking over after 5:00 p.m. -The man on call is,available to respond to an outage or return a call in 15 to 30 minutes. The hearing was opened to the public. May 19, 1981 - continued • Don McQuade, 7215 176th S.W., spoke in Support of what Mr. Lovett said about their service. Mr. McQuade said that twice in his neighborhood vandals-broke.into the standards and cut the -neighbors and him off from service, but the cable company was out immediately to -accomplish the repairs. No one else wished to speak, and the hearing was closed. No action was taken by the Council. HEARING ON PRELIMINARY PLAT (DENNIS HANIA/P-2-81) Associate Planner Duane Bowman showed a vicinity map and slides of the"site. The recommendations of the Hearing Examiner had been provided to the Council. The Hearing Examiner had recommended , approval.,,ssubject".to,,certain conditions. Mr. Bowman called attention to recommendations 4 and 5 on page 6 of the Hearing Examiner's report. Recommendation 4 stated that the front yard setbacks on Lots 2, 3, and 4 should be reduced to 12 1/2' in order to keep the building pad areas off the steepest portions of those lots. Recommendation 5 stated the setback directions for Lot 1 which is a flag lot. The front setback is to be to the south, the rear to the north, and the sides to the east and west. Mr.' Bowman did not review all the recommendations inasmuch as the Council had received the Hearing Examiner's report previously. The hearing was opened to the public. Randy Sleight of Reid, Middleton & Associates, representing Dennis Hania, said they were in agree- ment with the Hearing Examiner's recommendations and they agreed to perform all the engineering requirements stipulated. He noted that the requirement to pave 175th S.W. had been waived and in lieu of that Don McQuade and Dennis Hania had signed a covenant not to oppose any future LID to pave that street. Steve Sullivan, a property owner in the Glen Ellen View Tracts nearby, said he had not been notified of this hearing nor was anybody ouside the 60' range. He was not opposed to the subdivision but thought the road going down to it shoul.d be -paved (175th S.W.) and that it should be done before issuance of any building permits because.the construction trucks will be disruptive to the adjacent homeowners, creating noise and dust. He also thought the paving of the road should be tied to an LID to take care of storm water.in the area. He said when LID 207 was put in the water runoff was not taken care of adequately, resulting in washouts and silt damage. He provided photographs of erosion and an area where runoff exposes.underground wiring. He had contacted the Building and Engineering Departments and they had this spot filled with dirt, but he said at the next rain the wires are exposed again. Mr. Bowman said the Glen Ellen View'Tracts is an old County subdivision and the road.was never paved in that subdivision. The Hearing.Examiner's recommendation was that the road be paved all the'way back and that all those benefitting from it be included in the LID. He gave as an alternative approval -of the subdivision but the developers to waive all. rights to protest an LID. Mr. Sleight added that during the course of.the subdivision process it was'a requirement to install storm sewers the full length of this subdivision. He described that drai.nage, and he recommended that a storm sewer system be included in the paved street as a part of the LID. Mr. Bowman noted that the City Engineer has a meeting scheduled with -the contractor who performed the work which resulted in the erosion condition cited by Mr. Sullivan, but Mr. Bowman stressed that such was not a part of this plat. He also spoke to the notification requirement and said 80' is the requirement and notices were sent out to property owners within that distance. Mr. Sullivan thought the others who would be involved in the LID should have.been notified also. Mel Steinke, a real -tor, said he did not think the development would lend itself to a selling point of the property or of Mr. Sullivan's property without a paved road. He said that was a personal remark, and he.was not involved with'the plat.' Don McQuade, 7215 176th S.W., said the property was posted.and, as often is the case, if you do not notice the notices you are left out. He said he no longer owns -any part of this area, although he did in the past. He emphasized that Mr. Sullivan's concerns had nothing to do with this subdivision and that the rest of the lots are vacant. He said the problems. of surface water and paving are separate problems from the subdivision, and the applicant for this subdivision had conformed to all the requirements, and he said it would be unfair to attach conditions to this subdivision to pave the road. Mr. Sullivan again "said he was not against the subdivision, and he said he had agreed to pay for his part of the road, but he said the -increased traffic will create a problem for him and he thought the storm sewers and paving should be done before any permits are granted. Mr.Bowman noted that the Council could initiate" an LID to.take care of,the storm drainage and the paving of the road. City Engineer Jim Adams said when they originally looked at this plat they recommended improvement of the road with the developer initiating the LID, but the time element caused him to go forward prior to an LID. The Engineering Department had indicated it would be equitable to allow the . developer to plat but not to sell any lots until the street is paved, and there are enough property owners to support paving the street. In order to allow the developer to complete and record the plat, Mr. Adams had recommended that -he be required to support the.LID. He noted that all of the properties there would have more value if the street were paved. He recommended finalizing the plat and allowing the people to put the road'in as soon as they can. He recommended that the houses be permitted to be constructed prior to paving the road, and he'commented on how damaging heavy equip- ment can be to a road. Mr. Sullivan thought that was asking too much of the neighbors because the economic situation could change so that the developer may not be able to pave the road later and he would be getting an extra benefit and they would have to wait for their road. No one else wished to speak, and the public hearing was closed. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOETZ, TO APPROVE PRELIMINARY PLAT P-2-81, ADOPTING THE FINDINGS OF THE HEARING EXAMINER WITH HIS RECOMMENDATION 11, THE ALTERNATIVE THAT THE APPLICANTS -ARE TO'PARTICIPATE IN AN LID FOR THE IMPROVEMENT INCLUDING PAVING, CURBING, AND GUTTERS OF 175TH ST. S.-W.:, AND THAT PROVISIONS BE MADE PRIOR TO THE RECORDING OF THE FINAL PLAT. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka clarified that this provision meant these four lots will not protest formation 29 May 19, 1981 - continued 1 1 CJ of the LID, and.if the other property owners are over 60% they could protest it out under that LID. All the appl.icant would be: required to*do is to agree to participate in an LID, and if for whatever reason it was never completed he could still develop without the road being built. Councilmember Kasper found that satisfactory., saying he did not want the developer to be put in the position of paying for the street, and Councilmember Gould agreed that this was the fairest way to do it. THE MOTION CARRIED. DISCUSS'PARKING-RESTRICTIONS.ON SUNSET FROM MAIN TO BELL City Engineer Jim Adams stated that the -Central Business District boundary extends 120' north of Main St. on Sunset, thereby creating a.2-hour parking.zone for those 120'. The remainder of the block has 4-hour parking. .:Citizens have complained.and the police have had difficulty enforcing the parking as they have been unable to determine where the 2-hour parking ends and the 4-hour parking begins. Mr. Adams suggested changing the. restriction so.the entire block has 4-hour parking. Councilmember Allen thought it was simply a matter of signing, and she observed.that if the 2-hour parking restriction were changed in this section of the CBD there would be people coming in wanting other sections of the CBD changed. Councilmember Kasper observed that these parking restrictions were based on zoning. Assistant Police Chief Dan Prinz said it is. difficult for enforcement as it is, and there have been problems with Trident people parking and people complaining, but it is difficult to enforce because it is difficult to determine where one zone stops. -and the other starts. He said anytime there is an.area for conflict there are problems created, for the people enforcing it and for the judge. He thought the entire block should be one or the other. Councilwoman Jaech could not see the problem. She said you often see different parking restrictions within the same block. The Staff will try -to resolve the problem, possibly with better.signing. If they -cannot resolve it, the matter will be brought back to the Council. PROGRESS REPORT ON NEW LIBRARY Parks and Recreation Director Jim Jessell provided a -list of bid alternatives which had been discussed at the team meeting the previous evening. They had been prioritized and Mr. Jessel discussed them. The first five will be included and the other five will be added if money should. permit. Mr. Jessel noted that it had been decided to call the new library the "Edmonds Library" and he hoped there was no objection to that. Counci-lmember Kasper said he.was concerned about getting into the 1% for art factor up front, and he did not think that should be awarded before the building is completed. He noted that the front entry could change as.there will be landscaping and an Edmonds Library sign, and these things could have an.effect on whether there should be an art piece there. Councilmember Gould commented that he thought the City had an excellent architect on this project --the project is on schedule and within budget, and they are doing a fine job. . DISCUSSION ON CRITERIA FOR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR Councilmember Naughten said -this had been discussedat the Public Works/Community Development Committee meeting and the question was discussed as to whether both a City Engineer and,a Public Works Director are needed. He'said former Public Works .Director Fred Herzberg's feeling was that the Public Works Director should be an engineer because the engineering background is necessary in working with other Public Works Departments and the Director needs some real understanding of . engineering for many of the meetings he attends. City.Engineer Jim Adams agreed .with Mr. Herzberg. The Committee reached the conclusion that the Public Works Director should'also be an engineer but that his forte should be administration. They also -reached the conclusion that both a Public Works Director and a City Engineer are needed because an.engineer in the Director's position who is doing engineering will not spend enough time administrating; he will be too tied up in day-to-day engineering problems. It was felt strongly that an administrator is needed. Councilmember Kasper thought there may be other-areas.in the -department that could be reduced so the administrative load would be reduced. He noted that some cities have their Buildings and Grounds in the Parks Department, but the philosophies of the two departments are different, as the Parks Department may want to get the • building up but -the Public Works Department is concerned about maintaining it. -He noted that there are three engineers in the City now and the Public Works Director would make four. Councilmember Gould said his interest was in the whole department and what can be done to lower the maintenance and operation costs. He thought.there was something that could be done in the staffing level, but he did not know yet what it is. Councilmember Allen distributed copies of the current job descrip- tion for the Public Works. -Director position. The Public Works/Community Development Committee will meet -again next week and review the &4teria0nf the j.ob de'scr1pti6n-�and make,-acrecommendation to the Council. The Personnel Committee meeting scheduled for next week was cancelled. COUNCILMEMBER ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY-COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO DEFER FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM UNTIL A RECOMMENDATION IS RECEIVED FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS/COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL Councilmember Nordquist reminded the Council that -the employees had been told the Council would have a personnel committee to talk to employees individually about any problems, and there had been.an intent to take an employee attitude survey and possibly have something like an -ombudsman. He said 'the employees are waiting. .Councilmember Nordquist said he had contacted the Purchasing Department in Olympia to see ifa copy of the State contract could be obtained, but they have no communications from,the,City of Edmonds in their file. He said there is a- list of things the.City can buy that way and save some money. He will obtain the list. Councilmember Nordquist again noted that Roy Sorenson of Commmunity Transit had asked for permission for their buses to use a certain route on which there isa City load limit which would preclude their use. Councilmember Nordquist said that Mr. Sorenson -had not heard anything from the City but had provided a diagram of'the portion of roadway involved. .COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN, TO PLACE ON THE-JUNE-15, 1981 AGENDA A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE COMMUNITY TRANSIT REQUEST. FOR A BUS ROUTE, AND LIFTING OF LOAD LIMIT RESTRICTIONS, ON 76TH AVE. Ins., FROM 228TH ST. S.W. TO SR 99. MOTION CARRIED. 260 May 19, 1981 - continued • Councilmember Naughten thanked Finance Director Art Housler for his report regarding the departments which are over budget at the end.of the first quarter. Councilmember Gould asked who is on -the selection committee for the M.A.A. position. That committee consists of: Ann Wermus and Norma Bruns from the League of Women Voters; Ken Rose from the Chamber of Commerce; Ella Hammer from the Senior Citizens; Ray Martin and Milton Hassel from the Edmonds Committee of Concerned Citizens; and Gordon Maxwell as the. Mayor's representative. Council President Allen said she had received a letter from Bob Morrison (copies were furnished the Council) objecting to the Council's recommending approval last week of a liquor license on the waterfront to allow beer and wine -to be taken off the premises. Although he expressed some valid concerns, she said this is in CW zoning and if it were not approved the City would have been subject to suit because this use is allowed in that zoning. She also noted that the City does.not grant the license, but only makes a recommendation.. Councilmember Gould suggested that a copy of Mr: Morrison's letter be forwarded to the Liquor Control Board, and Council President Allen said she would do that. Council President Allen reminded the Council of the dinnermeeting on May 21 to be attended by representatives of all the South County -governmental agencies. Council President Allen said Bill Crow had provided her with figures he had obtained which indicated that apartment dwellers.are paying much less under the new utility rates than residents of single- family homes. She said she will be bringing this up for discussion, possibly at the May 30 work session. Councilmember Gould noted that such had been.an issue when the rates were passed, and the Council should have the figures before them when they discuss it. COUNCIL PRESIDENT ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE AND CONTRACT IN REGARD TO THE MAYOR'S DUTIES, SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 2, 1981, BE POSTPONED TO -THE JUNE 9, 1981 MEETING BECAUSE ONE OF THE COUNCILMEMBERS WILL BE OUT OF TOWN ON JUNE 2, 1981. MOTION CARRIED. Council President Allen noted that the City Attorney had'written a letter -indicating the Council has the authority to hire a person to act.as confidential Council secretary and that this person would not be subject to the supervision of the Mayor, at least insofar as the specific Council work assignments were concerned.. Council President Allen.asked how much confidential.business is really being done and'whether-the Council would be justified in that expenditure. She suggested that there are other secretaries in the City who could do -some of the Council work. Councilmember Nordquist will work with her to determine the duties of the Council secretary. Councilmember Kasper left the meeting at 9:50 p.m., after which the following was discussed regarding the 8th Ave. street vacation. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka said that Councilmember Kasper, before he was on the Council, had talked to the staff about the development of his property and the discussion centered around the possibility of vacating a portion of 8th Ave. in front of his property and realigning Aloha to make the cu,l-de-sac now proposed. When the vacation of 8th Ave. came up, including this portion,.the idea of the land swap got lost, and now the Council has determined to get compen- sation from some of.the owners and Councilman Kasper wants to know -whether the Council would con- sider the exchange of property in lieu of a cash payment. Mr. Tanaka said there are precedents for this, the latest one.being in the Meadowdale area where the right-of-way was out of line with the road. He said it is up to.the Council as to whether they want .to accept the trade. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOETZ, TO PLACE ON THE MAY 26, 1981 AGENDA CONSIDERATION OF COMPENSATION FOR VACATED RIGHT-OF-WAY AT THIS LOCATION'. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Nordquist advised the Clerk that he will be out of town on June 2, 1981. There was no further business to come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m. -1-vi.
