With these corrections noted, COUNCILMEMBER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER TO APPROVE Item (B). MOTION CARRIED. APPROVAL OF CLAIMS WARRANTS FOR THE WEEKS OF APRIL 6 AND APRIL 13, 1992 (Item (C) on the Consent gen a). Councilmember Petruzzi asked for clarification on several entries contained within the Claims Warrant Register. Chuck Day, Accounting Manager, clarified the entires for Councilmember Petruzzi.

APPROVAL OF WATERFRONT STUDY SCOPE OF WORK AND AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN PROFESSIONAL SER- VICES CONTRACT WITH MAKERS 30,000 Item E on the Consent Agenda. Counccompo- neember Earlinsaid hnts. uncilmember Earlingewanted wantedto maketo s sure the Study rify the fincluded ront d hat kind ofy contain impact, onomic c impact,nega- tive or positive, moving the ferry dock would have. Councilmember Kasper said the Reid Middleton Study is not yet completed, and said public hearings J will have to be scheduled as a result of the Study. Councilmember Kasper feels the present study needs to be completed first. Councilmember Kasper has no objections on the "MAKERS" study begin- ning, but doesn't want to see the public getting involved until the public hearing is held. Rob Chave, Planning Manager, said there is a great deal of background and preparatory work before alternatives will be placed before the public. Mr. Chave said Staff is comfortable with going ahead with the Scope and beginning the Study, and acknowledged that alternatives cannot be stud- ied until a decision is made on the ferry dock relocation. COUNCILMEMBER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO APPROVE ITEM (E) TO AUTHORIZE THE STUDY TO BEGIN, BUT TO COORDINATE THE SCHEDULING OF THE PROJECT WITH THE CONCLUSION OF THE REID MIDDLETON STUDY FINISHING. MOTION CARRIED. AUTHORIZATION TO SELL 1963 FIRE ENGINE TO GRAYS HARBOR FIRE DISTRICT #1 FOR $2,750. (Item (F) on the Consent Agenda. Council President Palmer said he finds it inappropriate that the proceeds from the sale of the Fire Engine are being requested to be used to purchase five pagers that were cut from the budget. Council President Palmer said he wouldn't vote in favor of this item, unless this was changed. Councilmember Kasper feels the proceeds should go into the Vehicle Fund. Councilmember Kasper said the request for pagers should be included in the list of unfunded requests that were also cut from the budget. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, THAT THE CITY AWARD THE BID TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, GRAYS HARBOR FIRE DISTRICT #1 for $2,750 TO BE SOLD AS IS, AND THAT THE PRO- CEEDS FROM THE SALE GO INTO THE FIRE/MEDICAL AID VEHICLE FUND 005. MOTION CARRIED. APPROVAL OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE INCREASING WATER RATES (Continued from April 25, 1992) Council President Palmer said the ordinance included in the Agenda Packet is incorrect. It was noted the City Clerk would provide the correct copy. Mary Hughes, Water Rate Consultant, reviewed the volume and base rate structure with the City O—Gc Council. ��ir��c�,�It was noted on Saturday, April 25, the Council adopted a water rate increase of 25% for 1992, 0 11% for 1993, and 9% for 1994. Councilmember Kasper asked Mary Hughes to restate her original position and the reason for that position. Councilmember Petruzzi said the Council has already adopted a rate increase, there- fore, there is no need to start from the beginning. Councilmember Petruzzi said the reason the Council is here tonight is to discuss the issue of volume versus base rate. Councilmember Hall said he would like Mary Hughes to comment on the rates that were adopted at the April 25 Council Meeting. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2 April 28, 1992 Mary Hughes said the structure of the current base/volume charge versus the structure she suggest- ed does not make a big difference. Councilmember Kasper asked Mary Hughes if there is any room in the adopted rate increase to pro- vide for droughts. Ms. Hughes said there is no margin in the rates to allow for any major in- crease in cost or decrease in volume. Ms. Hughes said the only way the City could make up for this is to dip into the Renewal and Replacement Program, which has already been cut down. Ms. Hughes said her original recommendation included for a very minor increase in costs, which probably wouldn't have been sufficient. Ms. Hughes said her initial recommendation was a 60% increase. Ms. Hughes said since the recommended effective date of her proposed increase in rates has been delayed, the City should raise the rates by 40% the first year in order to "catch up". Ms. Hughes said she looked back at the water system's operating cost for the past nine years, and found the operating costs have increased 96%. Councilmember Hall feels the Council should listen to the experts and to the Staff. Councilmem- ber Hall feels this is why the City is in the position it is in. Councilmember Hall feels the 25-15-10 was a compromise of the original recommendation, and should have been adopted. Council - member Hall said he is in favor of the 25-15-10 with the exclusion of the proposed Public Works Facility, so the public would understand it was not part of the rate increase. Council President Palmer said Mary Hughes stated either rate structure would produce a bare bones rate structure, as far as keeping the water utility in the black. Council President Palmer said drought or no drought, what it will require the Council to do is to make the commitment that if the suppliers pass on a rate increase to the City of Edmonds in the future, it would have to be passed along to the rate payers in order to keep the water utility operating in the black. Councilmember Petruzzi said citizens are tired of paying more and more taxes, and tired of reach- ing into their pockets to pay bills. Councilmember Petruzzi said he would rather have a lower increase in place, then if water rates are increased to the City of Edmonds by suppliers in the future, the rates can be raised accordingly. Councilmember Kasper suggested a 25% increase be utilized in 1992 to see how it works, and then review future increases during the 1993 budget discussions. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO RECONSIDER THE DECISIONS MADE BY THE COUNCIL ON SATURDAY, APRIL 25. MOTION FAILED with Councilmember Kasper, Councilmember Hall, Council President Palmer voting yes, and Councilmember Earling, Councilmember Petruzzi, Council - member Dwyer, and Councilmember Nordquist voting no. Council President Palmer asked the City Attorney to provide the appropriate ordinance, so it could be placed on the May 5 Consent Agenda. Councilmember Petruzzi inquired on the conclusion of the base versus volume issue. Council Presi- dent Palmer said Ms. Hughes stated the present ratio should be left as is, as there isn't enough difference to warrant a change. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO UTILIZE THE CURRENT VOLUME AND BASE RATIO AT 38% and 62% RESPECTIVELY. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Kasper abstaining. Scott Snyder verified with Chuck Day, Accounting Manager, that the effective date of the rate increase would now be May 1, 1992. APPROVAL OF NON -REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES SALARIES (Continued from April 25, 1992) Brent Hunter, Personnel Manager, distributed a,copy of the "Draft Minutes" of the meeting on Saturday, April 25, 1992. Mr. Hunter said he would iG direct City Attorney Scott Snyder to draft an ordinance based on the actions taken at the Saturday meeting, if there were no objections from �1 the Council. As no objections were heard, Mr. Hunter said he would place the ordinance on the Consent Agenda for May 5, 1992. Councilmember Kasper said he has no problem with the actions taken, however, would first like to review the first quarter revenues with Art Housler, Administrative Services Director. Councilmember Nordquist said he would like to move ahead with this. Councilmember Hall agreed. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO DRAW UP A NEW SALARY ORDINANCE AND PLACE IT ON THE MAY 5, 1992 CONSENT AGENDA PER THE ACTIONS TAKEN AT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1992. MOTION CARRIED. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3 April 28, 1992 COUNCIL REVIEW AND DELIBERATION ON UNFUNDED COMMUNITY REQUESTS Councilmember Kasper said the Council has not reviewed the status of the Budget with Art Housler, and feels that has to take place before action on any unfunded requests is taken. Councilmember Nordquist asked Council President Palmer to place this on a future Agenda, once first quarter revenues were divulged. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM TO A DATE FORWARD TO BE SET BY THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT. Under discussion, Councilmember Dwyer feels the Council could approve funding for the Korean Veterans Memorial. Council President Palmer agreed, and said there are time lines involved with the funding of this particular item. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST AMENDED HIS MOTION TO READ THAT THE UNFUNDED COMMUNITY REQUESTS CONSIST- ING OF HOUSING IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, AND SNOTRAN BE CONTINUED TO A DATE FORWARD TO BE SET BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER. THE SECONDER AGREED. MOTION CARRIED with Council - member Earling and Councilmember Kasper voting no. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER, TO APPROVE FUNDING FOR THE KOREAN VETERANS MEMORIAL FUND IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,250.00, WITH FUNDING TO EMANATE FROM COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND. Under discussion, Councilmember Earling said he favors this request, however, feels the Council is making judgement calls on which item should be funded, and said there are staffing issues within the City that need attention. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Earling and Councilmember Kasper voting no. AUTHORIZATION TO FUND AND FILL THE MUNICIPAL CLERK NE-5 POSITION (Referred from Finance Committee �_ of March 10, 1992 Brent Hunter, Personnel Manager, said the Finance Committee reviewed the request for the position tt in their April 14 committee meeting. Mr. Hunter said it is the recommendation of the Finance Committee to approve the position. Sherrie Gursley, Court Administrator, said the Court's staffing has a direct impact on the collec- tion of Court revenues. Ms. Gursley said the present staffing shortage is impacting the Court's ability to process fines and notices in a timely basis ultimately affecting the Court's reve= nues. Ms. Gursley said currently, the Court has approximately $150,000 in uncollected revenues. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO AUTHORIZE AND APPROVE THE FUNDING OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT CLERK I POSITION WITH THE APPROPRIATION OF $17,350 COMING FROM A LOAN FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND TO BE REPLACED BY REVENUES COLLECTED. MOTION CARRIED. CONTINUED REVIEW OF FUNDING FOR SPACE NEEDS STUDY (Referred from Finance Committee of March 10, 1992 Mayor Hall said the Council previously approved $40,000 from'Council Contingency to fund the Space Needs Study. Mayor Hall said the Council previously approved the firm of Arai Jackson to c n perform the study. Councilmember Nordquist said he doesn't mind spending the $40,000 for the study, if he knows what the intention of the study is. Mayor Hall said she would like to see Staff prepare a Preliminary Space Needs Recommendation, and then hire on an expert to proceed from that point. Council President Palmer said the Council has already decided the City doesn't have sufficient space and has already approved the Consultant. Council President Palmer said it is premature to dedide what the next step is after completion of the study. Mayor Hall said the Americans with Disability Act is now coming into play, which gives another dimension to the Space Needs Study. Councilmember Earling said the Council has not yet had a chance to talk with Art Housler, Adminis- trative Services Director, as to his conclusions on the first quarter revenues. Councilmember Earling feels this must take place first. Councilmember Petruzzi agreed. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4 April 28, 1992 Councilmember Dwyer asked Mayor Hall if it was her belief that the City is going to end up spend- ing more on the Study, or utilize Staff and spend zero. Mayor Hall said unless the funds are taken from Council Contingency Fund, there are no funds available. Councilmember Kasper said he would like to see a revised figure for the Study which included provisions required by the Americans with Disability Act. Councilmember Dwyer said he would like to see this issue tabled until Mayor Hall feels it is appropriate to bring it up again. City Attorney Scott Snyder said the City was to have had in place, January 26, 1992, a Transition Plan under the Americans with Disability Act to put improvements in. Mr. Snyder said the improve- ments are to be put in place by July 26, 1992. Council President Palmer said he hopes the City is making compliance with the Americans with Disability Act a high priority. Mayor Hall replied affirmatively. It was noted the Americans with Disability Act came into play after Arai Jackson was chosen as Consultant. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER, THAT THE CITY MOVE AHEAD WITH THE SCOPE OF WORK TO THE POINT OF CONTACTING ARAI JACKSON TO DISCUSS NEGOTIATING A CONTRACT ALONG THE LINES OF INCLUDING THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITY ACT. Under discussion, Councilmember Dwyer asked Mayor Hall if she agreed with this recommendation, and Mayor Hall replied affirmatively. MOTION CARRIED. AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE EIGHT 8 OPTICOM EMITTER KITS FROM SAFETY SIGNAL SYSTEMS FOR POLICE VEHICLES 12,000 Dan Prinz, Police Chief, said the purchase of eight (8) opticom emitter kits for the police vehi- cles was discussed at the April 14, 1992 Public Safety Committee Meeting. It is the recommenda- tion of the Public Safety to authorize the purchase. Chief Prinz said traffic has grown to a point that the patrol cars are having a very difficult time getting through intersections. Chief Prinz said this not only slows the police officers down, but it makes it very dangerous to go into or through intersections that have a red light-. Chief Prinz that the opticom allows police officers to take temporary command of an intersection controlled by a traffic signal. Chief Prinz distributed a photograph to the Council which illus- trated a recent accident involving a police car and a private citizen's car. Chief Prinz said the accident totalled out the patrol car as well as the citizen's car. Chief Prinz said minor injuries occurred, however, feels the exposure to greater injury exists. Chief Prinz asked the Council to authorize the purchase of the opticoms, with funding to come from the Equipment Rental Fund, and defer replacing equipment to make up the difference. Councilmember Nordquist said he is concerned over the tone of the new sirens on the police vehi- cles, and likened the tone to a car alarm. Councilmember Kasper said he believes the opticoms are a necessary.item, however, were not includ- ed in the Budget Requests. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER EARLING, TO TABLE THIS ISSUE AND DESIGNATE IT AS A NEW ITEM WITH HIGH PRIORITY, TO BE DISCUSSED WITH THE OTHER UNFUNDED REQUESTS AT THE MAY 26 CITY COUNCIL MEETING. Under discussion, Councilmember Dwyer feels the Council should approve the opticoms tonight for for safety reasons. Councilmember Hall agreed. Student Representative Dianna Phillips, feels the Council should approve the purchase of the opticoms. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Dwyer and Councilmember Hall voting no.

Councilmember Nordquist updated the Council on Health District activities, as well as the sub -com- mittees he attends, specifically, the Personnel Committee and Environmental Health Committee.

Councilmember Palmer reviewed the Cultural Arts and Convention District. Council President Palm- er said there is an outstanding debt that exists, however, is uncollectable at this time. Council President Palmer said that all of the entities have a portion of the debt. Council President said the total debt is approximately $45,000. Councilmember Hall said he is also a member of the Health District and cited the rising problems in T.B. and the AIDS virus. With regards to the previous discussion on Water Rates, City Attorney Scott Snyder said the ordi- G nance would reflect the 256 increase effective June 1, 1992, to accommodate the billing cycle.
