APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF APRIL 3, 1984 [Item (B) on Consent Agenda Councilmember Jaech asked that the following corrections be made. On page 6, the second paragraph, first line should read "Councilmember Jaech drew a parallel in comparison to the sign code in dis- cussing grandfathering and phasing in of signs." On:page 7, last paragraph, the motion indicated as withdrawn was not withdrawn and was actually passed rather than the following motion on page 8 which was only a query. The passed motion was seconded by Councilmember Wilson rather than Councilmember Kasper. Also, on page 8, motion at the top of the page, was not a motion and should read "Council - member Dwyer asked what the Council would think if he withdrew his previous motion. The Council indicated he should not."

AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR PURCHASE OF LADDER TRUCK ($26,000) [Item (H) on Consent Agenda] C� In response to a question from Councilmember Jaech, Acting Public Works.Superintendent Bobby Mills explained that funds for replacement of vehicles have been set aside. Currently there is $16,000 budgeted in 1984 and $11,000 in the B Fund for purchase of this vehicle. Mr. Mills responded to questions from Councilmember Kasper and Wilson explaining,that the present vehicle was purchased used in 1964 and has been used only for emergency purposes to prolong its useful life. A new truck would be used for various activities in addition to changing of traffic signal lights, such as last year's repair of the grandstand, trimming tree limbs in the City,parks, installation of banners for special events, etc. He said the only other truck of this type is owned by Snohomish County. Mr. Mills said he had investigated the possibility of,obtaining a used truck but the only ones available cost close to $20,000. He added that the present truck would be traded in or sold upon purchase of a new truck. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED,BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO AUTHORIZE ADVERTISING FOR PURCHASE OF A LADDER TRUCK.

ADOPTION OF PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION AND PROPOSED ORDINANCE 2424 REMOVING THE REQUIREMENT THAT CONDITIONAL USES IN RM ZONES BE LOCATED ON ARTERIAL:STREETS.(CDC-4-84) [Item (K) on Consent Agenda] Councilmember Kasper asked if the State were the only agency that could approve arterial designa- .. 'ions. Mr. Adams replied that the City recommends arterial designations.and.the State approves and prints them. Councilmember Kasper commented that the criteria for arterials as set by the State are not always adequate since 76th Ave. W. is not designated as an arterial. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO ADOPT PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION AND ORDINANCE 2424 REMOVING THE REQUIREMENT THAT CONDITIONAL USES IN RM.ZONES BE LOCATED ON ARTERIAL STREETS. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Nordquist raised a point of order regarding an item not on the agenda concerning traffic through the Meadowdale construction and asked the Council to place this item on the agenda during the .Counci-1 portion. The Council agreed. FURTHER DISCUSSION REGARDING CIVIC CENTER FIELD Parks and Recreation Director Steve Simpson reviewed .the recommendations of the Civic Center P.lay- fi.eld.Citizens Committee and noted. that funding the project through a General Obligation Bond issue this September would necessitate prompt action by the Council.. He then discussed the difficulty of passing bond issues and distributed information to the Council containing news articles from 1933 concerning the original acquisition of the playfield, steps to acquire the playfield at this time, and a cost breakdown. He closed by asking if the City wishes to adopt the recommendations of the Committee. Councilmember Jaech commented that the possibility should be.explored of whether the School District would consider trading the Civic Center Playfield for Yost pool. Mr. Simpson said he could.not present any proposal to the Council for acquiring the playfield at this time since no one has the authority to negotiate for the City. Councilmember Nordquist said he had received very little encouragement for the proposal from citizens, but he feels.some changes are needed and warranted to relieve the impact of the playfield on surround- ing neighborhoods. He,said the people would cover Yost pool if a lightweight cover were available. He said there is concern about a complex which would include a swimming pool, new facilities and provide youth athletic facilities. He said neighboring communities have provided better facilities for their youth. He would like to see something of this nature and caliber in Edmonds.. Councilmember Jaech said she would prefer a pool complex in the Civic Center area rather than at Yost pool, because the Civic Center area would provide better access and parking. She expressed concern that placing a pool in that area would displace the outdoor athletic activities and asked where they would be located if not at Woodway. Mayor Naughten said there had been a lot of feedback indicating a need for evening field time, preferably in Edmonds. He said the only.place in Edmonds that would have the least impact on surrounding neighborhoods would be the Woodway High School complex where -.lighted fields could be developed. He also mentioned the Meadowdale Playfield J oint project with Lynnwood: He said the demand is growing for adult use of fields. Councilmember Jaech expressed concern about spending Edmonds' money outside the city limits without a vote of the people. Councilmember Ostrom said the proposal was an excellent piece of work and contained good recom- mendations. He commented that developing Yost park would not be a solution,,since access and parking are inadequate. He indicated his support of the proposal and suggested the Council adopt the proposal and move forward with it. In response to a.question from Councilmember Wilson, Mayor Naughten said the City had received a letter from a realtor whose client wished to purchase and develop the property at Olympic View Elementary School. Councilmember Wilson suggested,the�City explore locating a.recreational complex there. ii • 11 r� U 1 • April 10, 1984 - continued 11 fo Councilmember Kasper.suggested...that the revenue aspects of the proposal should also be addressed. He said he'had been working on'the district aspect and has not been able to get an answer. He had been told'there could only be one district and the City had chosen the arts and stadium aspect. He suggested that a recreational,use.be added, since he -Feels the City cannot afford to go into a bond issue. He said most of the HUD grants had been spent.on the beach, the senior center, the Anderson Center, and the City parks. He suggested the citizens look for.grants to fund half of the.project and then the Council could fund the other half. He would not consider a bond issue for the project until the.City owned the property. He suggested that Woodway be developed immediately to relieve the pressure on the Civic Center Playfield. Councilmember Jaech suggested the City pursue the idea of developing Woodway in exchange for_the Civic Center Playfield. This would give the City title to the property without additional cost. She asked the Finance Director to furnish the Council with the total cost to develop the three phases contained in the recommendation indicating what the debt service would cost each year and whether the City.can afford this debt service, taking into account what user revenues might be. Councilmember Kasper said there should be more push from the citizens before the Council attempts to develop anything. Council President Jaech suggested the information requested be presented to the Council on May 8. Mr. Simpson asked the Council.to appoint someone to negotiate with the school district regarding acquisition of the property. Councilmember Wilson expressed his reservations about spending money on property.with no strings attached. Mr. Simpson said.conditions could be attached if money were invested. Councilmember Ostrom suggested that a set of priorities be determined for discussion at the next session of the Council. Discussion followed regarding benefits to the City and the School District involved in trading properties. Mr. Eames suggested a motion would be in order authorizing the Mayor and fir. Simpson to negotiate with the School District. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY:000NCILMEMBER DWYERj TO AUTHORIZE MAYOR=NAUGHTEN AND MR. SIMPSON TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR PURCHASE OF,THE:CIVIC CENTER PLAYGROUND. MOTION CARRIED`WITH COUNCILMEMBER KASPER VOTING NO. DISCUSSION REGARDING MEADOWDALE MORATORIUM In response to a question from Councilmember Ostrom,:Councilmember Kasper explained that the Com- munity Services Committee asked.that the question of lifting the moratorium on processing of sub- divisions be discussed by the Council at a work session. He added that the discussion.pertained only to the processing of subdivisions, not actual construction or,building. Mr. Adams explained that the staff had requested lifting:the:moratorium on subdivision processing. If the moratorium is lifted, the staff would insure that there.would be,no construction. The basic concern' was the ability to process the subdivisions in an orderly fashion: If the moratorium on both processing subdivisions and the building process are lifted.at the same time, it is'anticipated there would be more work than the staff could handle within the time limitations required by law.. Planning Direc- tor Mary Lou Block reiterated their concern for the potential influx of applications to be processed within a specific time, if the moratorium should be removed on all types of development at the same time as opposed to a phased program. In reviewing the area, she said they.had,determined.a poten- .tial for 52 short subdivisions, 11 formal subdivisions, and approximately 170 lots.with the existing zoning. By law the City must act on subdivisions within 90 days and a short subdivision hearing must be held within 30 days. Research also revealed that short subdivisions are recorded in one year and formal plats in two years on an average. The process is not quickly accomplished. She said, in view of the potential numbers, it would be better to phase the activity to accomplish a smooth processing and careful review. Councilmember Ostrom stressed the,Council.'s concern that nothing be started in the.area until it is determined that the area is stable.. He said the Committee discussion determined there was no reason • to hold up•processing of subdivisions. Councilmember Jaech expressed.her concern regarding the City's liability if the moratorium were lifted. She would not want to give people the impression the land is safe and buildable. In response to.a question from Councilmember Jaech, Mr. Eames asked Mr. Adams if the approval of a subdivision would add to runoff or affect the stability of the sanitary.drainfields. Mr. Adams said, in his opinion, the area would.not be affected. Mr. Eames said granting the approval to process.subdivisions should not be construed .as misleading the public. He said,the City could require that every subdivision that is approved have a covenant saying no building permits.would be issued until the moratorium is lifted on building. Councilmember Kasper said the processing time involved should.provide adequate time to complete the sewers. He would prefer to.avoid a backlog and hiring of additional staff to process the backlog. In addition, if some of these had been processed, there could have been information available to decide where stubs might have gone. Also, the roads will have to be rebuilt and knowing where the subdivisions might be would eliminate some duplication. He said now is the time to process the plats and determine what services will be needed, the density to be expected and the location of roads. Mr. Charles Mangum, Snohomish County Health Board, said from a public health viewpoint there is no concern about lifting the moratorium on the platting process. He said there would be more concern if building permits were issued before the sewer contracts are awarded. Councilmember Nordquist commented that Mr. Adams had made a comment that no matter what provisions are made, the,C.ity cannot guarantee that a conventional home:can:be built. He asked if, by lifting the moratorium, the Council would be indicating that.a.lot.is.buildable. He also asked how the City will .fl.ag those lots. Mr.°_Adams.responded that a geological report indicated that if the City does nothing, within 20-25,years.there will be a major.:land movement. If the water is removed, the probability decreases, but there is.no assurance that any piece of.ground will not move: He said in those areas of the City susceptible to slides, the City requires, as part of the'.building permit • process, a geological engineer to design the foundation. As building permits come in for the area, 36 April 10, 1984 - continued • a proper foundation will be required. In response to a question from Councilmember Ostrom, Mr. Adams stated there.is a possibility that some lots may never.be.buildable. He said building permit applications will be compared with the geological maps and the applicant will be advised of the existing conditions. The City will then approve, comment, or disapprove the building. Ms. Block interjected that soil tests would be required for any building permit. Mr. Adams said he had not recommended putting in foundations, but he had suggested the possibility of putting in drainage structures,..if they decreased the amount of water in the land mass. Mr..Eames responded to a question from Councilmember Dwyer by saying that the City is not guaran- tying that land will be a perfect building site by allowing subdivision processing. Anyone buying property must run the tests to make sure it is worth buying. He said the code is set up to screen the necessary public interest and it has worked for many years. He does not see that there is anything special in the Meadowdale area that would requi.re.any changes. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO LIFT THE MORATORIUM ON SUBDIVISION PROCESSING IN THE MEADOWDALE AREA WITH THE APPROPRIATE COVENANT RESTRICTING ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS UNTIL THE MORATORIUM ON'BUILDING IS LIFTED BY THE CITY. MOTION CARRIED. DISCUSSION REGARDING POLLUTION IN.SOUND Mr. Charles Mangum, Snohomish County.Health District, said the District had been taking samples along Puget Sound beaches since,1979. He said it is difficult to assess the pollution of open bodies of water since the sample taken is indicative of pollution only at the moment it is placed in the bottle. There have been indications of pollution, but not enough to close the beaches. More intensive sampling was begun in 1982 showing less contamination than original sampling had shown. In discussion with the Department of Social and Health Service, which monitors the shellfish, sampling was dropped since there was not a significantly high amount of pollution to justify continuing. Because of recent concern about contamination of the beaches and bottom fish, an intensive sampling program will again be started. He said they expect to have enough data collected by the end of summer to give the City some base figures. A significant level. of pollution would cause closure of beaches for recreational use. He added that the beaches are closed at this time from Picnic Point to the County line because of paralytic shellfish poisoning, and no one should be eating shellfish taken at this time.. In response to questions from the Council, Mr. Mangum said the Health District posts signs warning people of the red tide, but they have no police powers and people do ignore the warnings that are posted every spring when low tides start. He said the City of Lynnwood had hired a consultant to test around their outfall line for coliform as.well as metals. Mr. Adams.r,epor..ted that the.testi,ng.being:done by Lynnwood is less stringent than the testing that Edmonds must do for their larger plant. They are checking mainly for the coliform count, but Edmonds' main interest is the heavy metals that are evident and are of concern to a number of people. The presence of the heavy metals was discovered when Edmonds conducted their testing and research for: -the grant from DOE. There has not been a base line study to establish data for heavy metal contamination. This would cost between $7-10,000. Councilmember Kasper suggested this subject be tabled until a report is forthcoming in six months. This was agreeable to the Council. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, THAT DR. ANDERSON'S LETTER BE DISCUSSED. -BY THE COUNCIL AT THIS TIME. MOTION CARRIED. NORTH MEADOWDALE SEWER -STORM DRAIN PROJECT COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO OPEN THE MEETING TO THE PUBLIC FOR COMMENT ON THIS SUBJECT. MOTION CARRIED. Dr. Robert A. Anderson, 7270 N. Meadowdale Rd., Edmonds, stated there are problems in Meadowdale. The roads are not passable and North Meadowdale Rd has not been driveable for two weeks without high -centering.. He said the City is not living up to its stated objectives of keeping the roads passable and affording access to property at the beginning and end of each day. He explained the drawing attached to his letter. He had talked with the design engineer but nothing conclusive had been achieved. Even with a functioning storm drain, there is now more water on North Meadowdale Rd. than previously experienced. He had also raised the issue of a spring in the right-of-way north of his property, suggesting that a depth of 5 feet'be used for:the trench drain. However, the con- tractor has installed cross -drains (that should catch that drainage) at a depth of 2 1/2'. He said he did not feel it was his obligation to talk with the contractor or the design engineer, but he had done so at the City's request. Mayor Naughten thanked Dr. Anderson and said this matter would be researched and the Mayor would be providing the Meadowdale residents with answers to their questions. PERSONNEL COMMITTEE MEETING Fire Chief Jack Weinz said the Fire Department has always had support from the Council when addi- tional personnel are needed. At this time, he said., he is receiving requests for vacations and needs. to know what Department manpower will be in order to schedule accordingly. He said there is money in the Contingency Manpower Fund for the new position if the Council authorizes hiring of one additional firefighter. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST,.TO APPROVE HIRING OF ONE ADDITIONAL FIREFIGHTER. MOTION CARRIED. In response to a question from Councilmember Nordquist, Personnel Director Pat LeMay explained that the vacant position in the Public Works Department was red -lined by the Union as an NE-8 while it was occupied by Mr.. Dalzell. Once the position becomes vacant, it is possible to fill the position at something less than the red -circled classification grade. The proposal is to replace the position at the NE-3 grade resulting in the savings shown on the second page of the proposal. Councilmember B" 0 0 1i 11 36 • 1 1 1 1 April 10, 1984 - continued Nordquist replied.that this was not the intent in negotiations with the Union and said he saw no letter.indicating Union approval of this action. He.said he would like to see Union agreement in writing. Councilmember Jaech asked for clarification of the request. Acting Public Works Superintendent Bobby Mills explained that he is requesting the Council to.approve an additional NE-9 position, which will be filled by promotion from an NE-6 position. The vacated NE-6 position will notbe filled. The current NE-8 position will be filled at the NE-3 level with Council.approval. He said it is easier to leave the positions vacant than to try to eliminate them entirely. He said the Union is in agreement and is encouraged with this approach which provides promotion within the City. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY..000NCILMEMBER OSTROM, THAT THE NE-3 VACANCY BE FILLED BUT THE NE-9 POSITION BE CONSIDERED AT THE COUNCIL RETREAT. MOTION'CARRIED. Mr.. Mills asked.the Council not to, take this action since the Union is agreeing to hiring of the NE-3 if there is a promotion to the NE-9 position. Otherwise, he said, he would have to.fill the position at the NE-6.1evel. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER.MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER.KASPER, THAT THE PREVIOUS MOTION BE VOIDED. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER OSTROM MOVED', SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO POSTPONE CONSID- ERATION OF THE QUESTION UNTIL APRIL24 MOTION CARRIED. Council President Jaech asked that infor- mation be furnished to the Council for consideration of this question at the retreat. MAYOR Mayor.Naughten said there was room for three Council members in .the car he will be taking to the retreat. He will be leaving at 8:00 a.m. The Mayor introduced Bruce Orwall, of the Everett Herald, who will be covering City Council meetings. Mayor Naughten reminded the Council to -file their F15 forms by April 15. COUNCIL Council President Jaech reminded everyone the retreat.is Friday. She said they would be receiving packets of information on Wednesday that will be needed for the retreat. Councilmember Nordquist asked if the Woodway Fire Services contract:wou•ld be.on an agenda soon. He said he was concerned that an indemnification clause be included in the contr44 .' �;`Councilmember Nordquist stated that Jim.Murphy, of Ogden, Ogden and Murphy, had suggested on November 13, 1979 that an indemnification clause be added to the contract. John Wallace.had also suggested that an indemni:fication'cl.ause should be included. Councilmember Kasper said this was!one of the areas of concern he'had'.when he voted against the contract. He said the City should explore buying insurance to cover this disability and treat it as an additional expense. Mayor Naughten said that the City of Woodway is investigating this question and a report should be available for the:Council very soon. Councilmember.Wi1son asked why fetters to the PUD'a-nd'telephone company.have not yet gone out regarding the use of their poles for banners for the Arts Festival. He said if the City is not going to.consider permanent.poles for the banners,,the letters should go out immediately. Mr. Mills reported that the poles cost $125 each and will take about two hours each to install. He said the letters are ready to be mailed on Wednesday and he is waiting for the Council's decision. Council - member Ostrom voiced his disapproval of installing new poles, when -the Council is discussing under- grounding of existing wires. In response to questions from.the Council, Mr. Mills said events sponsored by the City are also insured by the City and the banners are installed by the City. Mr. Adams clarified that an individual wishing to install.ibanners must have a street use permit, which requires they have permission .of the owners of the poles and an insurance certificate. It is nearly impossible for.them to do this and the City has sponsored nearly every event, obtaining an insurance rider.at no additional cost. Mr. Mills listed the permanent locations specified in the letters to the PUD.and telephone company; i.e. 84th Ave. W. at 196th St; Puget Wy. and 9th Ave.:.N.; the east corner of the Anderson Center on Main; Second and Main; and.Fifth Ave. South. COUNCILMEMBER OSTROM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, THAT LETTERS BE SENT TO THE PUD AND TELEPHONE COMPANY ASKING APPROVAL TO PLACE BANNERS ON EXISTING POLES AT THE LOCATIONS LISTED. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Dwyer reported that.Sno-Com groundbreaking will be Wednesday,.April 11 at 11:30 a.m. Councilmember Jaech reported that she had spoken with Mr. Adams concerning yellow markings on curbs on the corners of Fifth and Walnut on the southwest side and by Tradewell. There was no further business to come before the Council and the meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m. CQU LINE.G. PA RETT; City Clerk LARRY S. NAUGHTEN, Mayor
