APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF APRIL 13, 1982 [Item CB) on Consent Agenda] Councilmember Kasper referred to page 5 of the Minutes, the item 1982 Vehicle Purchase for Planning Department," and said he had made a statement that a new car should not be bought for 1 0 1 • 1 1 April.20, 1982 - continued department use but should be moved down from use as a police detective car, etc., and he wanted that statement inserted in the Minutes. Also, the Planning Director had requested clarification of some of the discussion relating to offices in the CW zone on page 2 of the (Minutes. In the second para- graph on page 2, words should be added to the first line so it reads: "In answer to a question as to the number of offices currently on the first floor (added words) in the waterfront buildings, Ms. Block said she did not believe there to be any in The Landing, . . ." COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVEG, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO APPROVE ITEM (B) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, AS AMENDED. MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED RESOLUTION EXPRESSING -OPPOSITION TO CLOSING OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN THE EDMONDS AREA Item C on Consent Agenda Councilmember Naughten removed this item from the Consent Agenda to compliment the City Attorney on the drafting of this resolution. He thought it very well stated. Councilmember Kasper questioned the use of the word "any" in the references to closure of "any public school in Edmonds." He said Edmonds probably will have to take its share of the closed schools. After brief discussion, COUNCIL - MEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO APPROVE ITEM (C) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, PASSING RESOLUTION 523. MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED ORDINANCE ALLOWING OFFICES IN CW ZONE [Item (D) on Consent Agenda] Councilmember Jaech referred to the first paragraph of the proposed ordinance in which it states that such uses would be consistent with Section 16.55.000 of the Community Development Code, and said she thought this wording contradicts that section of the Code. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka responded that if this amendment is to be made it must be found that it is consistent with the Code, and if she thought those uses not to be consistent with the CW zone then she should not vote in • favor of passage of the ordinance. He said the section is broad enough so that allowing offices above the ground floor would not be inconsistent in his opinion. Councilmember Gould did not think it inconsistent, and he said even though people may be going to offices on the -second floor they will get to see and appreciate the waterfront. He saw this as a secondary use. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN, TO REMOVE THIS ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PLACE IT ON THE APRIL 27, 1982 CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Jaech will contact the City Attorney regarding revisions. Item (D) on the Consent Agenda was not approved. PROPOSED ORDINANCES RELATING TO CRIMES AND PUNISHMENT, PROVIDING A DEFINITION OF "PUBLIC OFFICER," AND DEFINING A "DELINQUENT CHILD" [Items (FI, (G), and (H) on Consent Agenda] Councilmember Gould said the provisions of these proposals were 13 pages long and he would like time to talk them through with the Police Chief. Councilmember Kasper thought there should be a public hearing, rather than placing these changes on the Consent Agenda. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO PLACE ON THE MAY 4, 1982 AGENDA A PUBLIC HEARING ON THESE THREE PROPOSED ORDINANCES. MOTION CARRIED. Items (F), (G), and (H) on the Consent Agenda were not approved. MAYOR Mayor Harrison had received an application for a Class A and C Liquor License for Carrows Hickory Chip Restaurant. The Police Chief had investigated and provided a report, indicating that the restaurant had been in operation for several years and had been no problem to the City in any way. He recommended approval, noting that there are no nearby churches or schools, access from the street is safe, and there are several other restaurants in the area which have liquor licenses. COUNCIL - MEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN, TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATION. MOTION CARRIED. • Tamara Hoogendoorn spoke in support of an upcoming CROP Walk, a 10-mile fund-raising event of the Church World Service. Mayor Harrison had issued a proclamation endorsing this effort and proclaiming Sunday, May 16, 1982, as the Edmonds/Lynnwood Community Crop Walk Day, which he read aloud. Larry Dalzell, 523 6th Ave. S., expressed objection to the new planters on Sunset Ave. which he said appear to be designed to reduce the amount of parking. He said what has been done with Sunset is not consistent with what is considered "class" in Edmonds, and that he would be in favor of planters but not the way they have been done, and if something like that is done some money should be put into it to do it right. He commended the City on the efforts to reduce the problems for the residents of Sunset Ave. but he objected to this action and asked about liability if someone runs into them. Mayor Harrison responded that he had not yet seen them but that what has been done is on a trial basis so they do not want to spend a lot if the planters are going to be moved around. Council - member Kasper added that this project will be reviewed in July, as the Council wanted to see how it worked before they spent any money. He did not see that parking is reduced by them, however. Mr. Dalzell suggested that if maximum usage of the park cannot be obtained then Sunset Ave. should be sold to the residents and they could provide what is needed there. He said it -has been a thorn in the side to all of the residents of the City who like to watch the .sunset from that City park, and now they cannot do that. Councilmember Gould stated that when a decision is made regarding Sunset it should be in the summer, not in the winter, so the date they had set is right, and that will be in July. FURTHER PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF EXPANDING MAYOR POSITION TO FULL-TIME IN 1984 Councilmember Hall opened this discussion, stressing that the subject was expanding the position of Mayor to full-time in 1984, not now. She said the subject should be addressed now because people are considering running for the position. At Councilmember Hall's request, Finance Director Art Housler provided a comparative summary schedule of executives' salaries and benefits in Edmonds as compared to Lynnwood, and compared the costs of having a Dart -time Makior.and an M.A.A. against those of having only a full-time Mayor at the M.A.A.'s salary. The discussion was then opened to the public. C� 428 April 20, 1982 - continued Ray Martin, 18704 94th Ave. W., said he was speaking as an.individual and not as a representative of the Edmonds Council of Concerned Citizens. He felt that the discussion this evening was phony and it should not be on the agenda. He perceived it as a manipulation to set up a retirement fund for the current Mayor and said the issue is up to the Council and should not be on a ballot. He thought there to be some problems with the Mayor's performance, saying if there were not the Council would have paid him for a full-time job. He said he suspected the Mayor will run again in 1984 and this proposal would gain him retirement. --He recommended holding out for a good M.A.A. and limiting the time in office to two terms. He also felt a full Council should be present for this discussion, noting that two were absent this evening. He was reminded by Councilmember Hall that the discussion was not about the present Mayor but about the position in 1984. He continued, however, to recall incidents in the past which he thought.should not have happened and for which he held the Mayor accountable. Lloyd Ostrom, 711 Puget Lane, representing the Edmonds Council of Concerned Citizens, said this subject had been discussed at their Board of Trustees meeting and they were not looking at this issue as it relates to any particular person or particular public office. He said the people have elected a Mayor and whoever has the office should spend as much time as it takes to get the job done, and even though City government is short a man, raising the Mayor's salary will not attack the problem. He.said the current structure of the government calls for an administrative manager and a political Mayor who is partly a ceremonial figure of the.City, and what is lacking is the admin= istrative manager. He did not think Edmonds had to take a lead from Lynnwood, and he said he had not heard any convincing arguments for changing. He thought this should be the last discussion on the subject and did not think it should go to a ballot as it would be a waste of money. He said if it were going to be put on a ballot or if there were to be further hearings, then it should be captioned "Shall the salary of the office of Mayor of Edmonds be tripled?" He added that he had not heard one person explain why the current organization is wrong, even though it is short one man. Councilmember Hall asked him if that was his position, then when should the salary be raised, in 1984 or now. His reply was that the subject is 1984 and that was what he was addressing. Ray Sittauer, 561 Pine St., said the full-time Mayor topic.had been raised in the past year or so and they keep hearing about a Mayor's assistant, that one is needed. He observed that there had been a lot of friction between the Mayor, the Council, and the assistant, but he said the assistant has to take his orders from the Mayor, no matter who is Mayor. He said there is talk about a man being missing but that is not so, there is a man there to run the City, and that is where the full- time Mayor comes in. He had talked to a lot of people in the last six months and he said there are not 10 people out of 28,000 for this hearing --for or against the Mayor. Also, it had been shown that the people -do not want a Council/Manager form of government. He thought anyone who would run a City the size of Edmonds for $16,000 a year would have to be very dedicated to the City and the people. He thought 75% of the people who live in Edmonds do.not even know what kind of government the City has, and he noted that only 3,500 voted in the last election. It was his opinion that the only ones concerned are the bowl area people and he said it is time the City had a full-time Mayor and paid him a full-time salary and that the Council should make that decision as that is why they were elected. Marion Ross, 1016 Daley, said a gentleman had spoken earlier and said he represented the Edmonds Council of Concerned Citizens, but she is a member of that group and does not know who his Executive Board is and she has never been invited to a meeting and does not know where the material is coming from on this group. She said this discussion was not about the present Mayor, but about a form of government, and the people of Edmonds have voted for a Mayor/Council form of government and the Council could make the present man a full-time Mayor by just increasing his salary. But she said that is not what was on this agenda. She noted that the current Mayor has said he will not run again, and there are many young people in the community who are interested in this type of position and they need to know whether it will pay a reasonable wage. She did not think they could expect anybody of quality to work for the current salary. Larry Dalzell, 523 6th Ave. S., said he would not run this City for $16,000 a year and he could not believe the Council could not solve this problem for the City. He said the City has a full-time . Mayor and they are not paying him for it, and he should be paid for it now. Jeannie Johnson, 704 Maple, said she did not know why the M.A.A. position was not filled. She said she hated to see the Council blamed for meddling in administrative matters but they have had no choice. She did not see why this hearing was being held and said any lobbying to change the salary or the job description should be done by the Councilmembers. She said she would like to see the M.A.A. position filled as soon as possible. Greg McAllister, a City employee, said what this is, is a full-time position with a low budget salary and if the City is going to keep its good employees, from top to bottom, it is going to have to pay them. - Pat Eldridge, 7717 200th S.W., said she does not live in the bowl area. She.said if the City is to have a good Mayor he should be paid for it. She noted that.Lynnwood has a full-time Mayor and an assistant, and she asked if Edmonds will need one if it has a full-time Mayor. Ann Saling, 8620 Olympic View Dr., said the thing that bothered her was the rush to do this. She thought next year would be ample and that this had been manipulated. She believed the only reason to rush it was for the final two years of the Mayor's salary. She thought the term of office should be shortened and that new blood is needed. She said the Mayor knew what the salary was when he ran for the office, and she did not believe in changing the rules in the last two years of a 16-year term. She added that if the Mayor can get along without an M.A.A. he can do it for another two years. Bill Leraas, 21224 86th W., said'the people had indicated they want a Mayor/Council form of govern- ment and he asked if when they vote in 1984 the ballot will indicate that the Mayor's full-time position is to be running the City of Edmonds or is he to run his own business along with running the City of Edmonds. He said the citizens of the City of Edmonds deserve a full-time Mayor, and he favored a full-time Mayor --eight hours a day with commensurate salary. • April 20, 1982 - continued 1 L 1 Larry Dalzell added that the dangerous thing in not having an M.A.A. is the fact that when you get an M.A.A. he is a.professional and you hire him based on his credentials but that is not so with a person who is elected. - Betty Mathay,_8106 240th S.W., a Lake Ballinger area resident, said the decision has to be made as to whether a Mayor is wanted in 1984 or a Mayor with an assistant, and the Mayor has a decision to put in a name for his assistant if he wants one, and that should be done without a lot of emotion. No -one -else wished to speak, and the hearing was closed. Councilmember Gould observed that there were four alternatives for .the present form of government -- full-time Mayor without an M.A.A., full-time with an M.A.A., part-time with an M.A.A., and part-time without an M.A.A., but the reality is that actually whether or not there is an M.A.A. is up to the Mayor, as the. M.A.A. serves at the pleasure of the Mayor. He said the questions the Council had to deal with were: Should the Council unilaterally establish the form of government; should they find out how the majority of the voters feel about the issue; and should the people vote? His opinion was that the Mayor's pay should be left basically as it is until the next election. He said he would support use of a temporary Personnel Director between now and 1984 and offer a plan to fund such a position, which would take care of issues which had to be dealt with, but he.said he.would prefer to find out for certain how -the majority of the people feel about a full-time Mayor by uti lization of an advisory ballot which would cost approximately 25� per person. He agreed with the statement that good pay can attract good people. Councilmember Hall stated that there was a large number of petitions signed by people who are in favor of a full-time Mayor in 1984, and that an advisory ballot would cost about $9,000,-depending on whether it is an odd or even year, and she asked for what that $9,000 would be spent. Councilmember Gould responded that it would be to find out how the people feel, and that he thought it worth spending to find out how.they feel. He thought they should be creative with the ballot, possibly offer some alternatives, but he felt very much that a mechanism is needed to get a lot of input. Councilmember Naughten suggested putting a question in the utility billings for two or three months and then having some hearings and making the decision. He did not think $9,000 should be spent for an election. He said people are critical about making changes in the government without the people speaking on them. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO DRAFT A STATEMENT FOR THE UTILITY BILLING AND REVIEW THE STATEMENT ON MAY 11, 1982 AND THEN AFTER INPUT FROM THE CITIZENS HAVE TWO MORE HEARINGS. Councilmember Jaech said when you are talking about changing a position such as. the Mayor's what -you are asking is whether or not to pay more for the person in that position, and you have to decide where the funds will come from. She thought it should be put on the ballot so it is tabulated and it is known for sure how the people feel about it, and also let them know it is tied into expenditures. She thought the advisory ballot to be the best way to do it and she did not think the survey would give the same information as would be obtained from an advisory ballot. Councilmember Gould said he preferred -,the survey to doing nothing,.but he did not think it would be as good as an advisory ballot. He also said that when people vote they have a right to privacy and that is guaranteed at the ballot box. Mr. Housler interjected that condominiums, apartments, duplexes, etc., only get one bill so only 2,200 bills go out for approximately 5,600 people. Councilmember Kasper was opposed to a ballot of any kind, and he thought more hearings should be held, and he said both of the absent Councilmembers had said they thought it should be aired. He said the final decision is the Council's and it is a decision they will have to make, but they should get information in the paper and set a time for another hearing and then make a decision. He thought a full-time Mayor was needed who represents the people from day-to-day with a full salary. He said the M.A.A. position is like a city manager and the people had stated they do not want a city manager. -Further, that the Mayor should be full- time and the salary should reflect his time and his abilities, and if a lot of'salary has to be spent on people around him then his salary would be reduced to allow those salaries. He said the problem is that the personnel situation is not structured correctly and a personnel position should be filled. He felt they had to make the decision but that they needed more input and that they should decide sometime in June. 000NCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN THEN MODIFIED HIS MOTION, ACCEPTABLE TO THE SECOND, TO DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY OF PUTTING THE STATEMENT IN THE UTILITY BILLINGS AND THAT IT BE A REPRESENTATIVE SURVEY. 'MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER HALL THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN, TO HAVE A FULL HEARING ON THE SUBJECT ON MAY. 18, 1982. MOTION CARRIED. A short recess was announced. FIRST PRESENTATION OF HIGHWAY 99 STUDY AND RECOMMENDATION FROM PAB Planning Director Mary Lou Block said this study was the first major project undertaken by the PAB and this was the first presentation to the Council on that study. She introduced the Chairman of the PAB, Ray Sittauer, who said the study started about nine months previously and a.number of hearings were held, but he said in all the hearings they had, one time they had two people in attendance, and one lady always attended, and Councilmember Kasper attended each time. He said the people whom .this concerns really do not realize how much'power the PAB should have because if they had known what the PAB was doing they would have attended the meetings. He added that it was passed unanimously by the Board, and he thanked the Staff and Mr. LaTourelle for a good job. Planning Consultant John LaTourelle reviewed the study, saying some of the questions addressed were what is there, and what is the area like? They looked at the physical characteristics of the area, the topography; the pattern of the subdivided lots, and the buildings that are there. They collected the assessor's data on valuations of the buildings in the area and property taxes derived from them, and they also.looked at 'types of uses. They asked what is the potential for future growth and development in the area, and they plotted out all the vacant land and the land ready for redevelop- ment. They asked if future development does occur what are the likely environmental impacts and how serious will they be? One major question addressed was if development is to be with taller buildings than presently allowed, then what would the visual effects be? They studied the relationships of height,'width, shape, etc., and studied the existing development around the study area. They looked at how residences in particular would be affected if buildings were allowed to go higher. They made a.series of recommendations which they felt were consistent with the findings and conclusions of the study and which they thought -to be of substantial benefit to the City. There would be higher quality development than is in the area now and some environmental benefits in regard to view blockage. As In April 20, 1982 - continued • to costs, it was concluded that adverse impacts of development under the proposed regulations would be no more severe than development under the present regulations, and occasionally would be less severe. Mr. LaTourelle said there is no predictable pattern as to land use, and they found a complete mixture of all of the uses that are allowed under present zoning spread from one end of the study area to the other. They found the subdivided lots in the CG area generally to be quite large, an average of close to an acre. Much of the land is completely vacant and with that which has potential for redevelopment 50% of the land is potentially developable in 'the future. He said if taller buildings are allowed to be built there they will' be mainly office buildings. Any retail sales activity would be on first floor levels, and everything else would be office or residential. Conclusions were that local traffic will be the most severe environmental impact. Traffic problems will be localized ones at the intersections. The question of utilities had arisen many times. In looking at the visual problem of tall buildings Mr. LaTourelle said in this area topography has' almost a neglible effect and if the City is going to address the question of view blockage and potential view blockage effectively the best way to do it is to regulate the horizontal distance. It was found that very few residences would have views blocked. As to the shadow effect of taller buildings, because of the orientation of Highway 99 'on a north/northeast and-south/southwest axis, for about three weeks on either side of the summer:,s6l-sti.ce:,shadows.woul.d bey:cast.'on`:the°.,r.esidential buildings to the east and at no other time would shadows be cast on those residences. He recom- mended that the height.of the,base structure,be limited to 10'- 12' above the high point of the lot, and then advantage can be taken of the slope. Further, it was recommended that there be a limitation on the amount of lot coverage and that street setbacks be maintained for generous, plantings. Other recommendations were detailed in the written report. Mr. LaTourelle suggested that the City get together with.the other jurisdi,cti.ons.in the area and develop some kind of joint policy to develop the Highway 99 area, and he.said Snohomish County is very receptive to the idea of a joint agree- ment. There was a brief discussion, and then the hearing was opened to the public. Betty Mathay, 8006 24.0t1i S..W., sai.d she had -attended the PAB hearings but she usually had to wait • for the minutes to know what had occurred. She said it is difficult when you do not have the written material.such as the Council is furnished. She represented the Lake Ballinger Community Club. She read aloud a lengthy document discussing the objections and concerns of her group, and she stated the.Council would be furnished copies of the document. Jim Chapman, 23321.75th W.,.said there would be a tremendous amount of responsibility placed on the ADB and he asked about guidelines for the ADB which he thought should be a part of any ordinance that may be passed as a result of the Highway 99 study. He recommended that the Council be deeply involved, e.g., that the Council as well as the ADB decide on increased height. He added that the lease for the Putt Putt Golf Course is expiring and they do not intend to renew as the owner intends to develop it. He suggested that the City buy it and operate it as he felt it to be an asset to their community. No one else wished to speak, and the hearing was closed. Councilmember Gould noted that the function of the ADB would not change as a result of this study. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO HAVE A HEARING ON THIS SUBJECT MAY 25, 1982 AND THAT -.THE MEETING BE SOLELY FOR THE REVIEW OF THE STUDY DOCUMENT AND THE HEARING. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL Councilmember Gould said that Mrs..Ross had asked him during the recess about regulations governing Councilmembers' pay and he had told her to write a letter and then the subject will be placed on an upcoming agenda. Councilmember Hall said she had attended a meeting on the Puget Sound Regional Arts and Convention Complex and the district boundaries had been established as Puget Sound on the west, north to 116th, south to 205th, and east to Mill Creek. There will be hearings scheduled. Council President Kasper advised that the Council/Staff retreat will be on September 10, 1982 and • that it may have to be held in Edmonds as another meeting place had not been found, everything being booked. Council President Kasper stated that.the Finance Director had requested a reply to Council President Kasper's memo regarding merit increases. He said his concern is that the Council had not accomplished anything unless they change the ranges so the merits can exceed the increased maximum. It'was decided to discuss this at a Personnel Committee meeting. A Personnel Committee meeting was then scheduled for the following week, April 27, 1982, and the previously scheduled Finance Committee meeting will be the week following that, May 4, 1982. Both meetings will be at 6:30 p.m. There was no further business to come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned at 11:20 p.m. Gt%Z I IRENE VARNEY MORAN, City lerk HARVE H. HARRISON, Mayor
