3. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, invited the Council and the public to the Better Living Lifestyle Fair
underway now at the South County Senior Center.
Todd Cloutier, Edmonds, agreed the Edmonds Bowl was beautiful and should stay that way and he did
not support taller building on the waterfront. He pointed out Edmonds’ economy lagged behind other
cities in Snohomish County and has for the past ten years. The Council appointed an Economic
Development Commission (EDC) to address that issue. The Commission is making progress; however,
many of the ideas they are developing will require funding, an investment in the City’s economic future.
The purchase of the Skipper’s property would remove resources that could be used for legitimate
economic development, particularly since other funds are not available. Instead of purchasing the
property, he urged the Council to look closely at zoning the property to ensure any legal use by the land
owner would be in keeping with the character of the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center. He also
proposed the Council call on the EDC for specific proposals aimed at long term economic development
and to apply available funds to those purposes.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, observed the Council had extended the purchase timeline for the property. Next,
he questioned whether there was another potential offer on the Skipper’s site. He suggested due to the
City’s financial problems, a group of citizens purchase the property such as has been done to purchase
stadiums.
5. SKIPPER’S PROPERTY PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT – DUE DILIGENCE
ACTIVITIES.
Council President Bernheim suggested deferring action on the due diligence contracts until the Council
received a response from the bank.
Councilmember Plunkett agreed, explaining the intent of the counter offer was to get the property off the
market and allow the Council to do due diligence. To those who think the Council is paying too much for
the property, the due diligence will provide further information. It would not be appropriate for the
Council to sign due diligence contracts until the property is secured. The future purchase will be subject
to the City’s satisfaction with the due diligence and the price.
Councilmember Wilson explained there is an offer behind the City’s offer for slightly less than $1.1
million. It is not an all cash offer like the City’s offer. He anticipated upon the Council’s counter offer, the
real estate agent would present the bank with the second offer as well. The Council should learn more
about the bank’s response to the Council’s counter offer this afternoon. Thus it was appropriate for the
Council to delay action on the due diligence contracts until they learned whether the property had been
secured.

Mayor Haakenson commented it was optimistic to think the Council would have a response from the
bank by the end of the day.

3A. COMMUNITY SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: GREATER EDMONDS CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE / NEW EDMONDS CHAMBER FOUNDATION.
Bob Rinehart, Greater Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, informed the Council, staff and residents
that the Chamber has established a non-profit foundation. The Chamber will continue to operate as a
501(c)(6); and has created a separate entity, a 501(c)(3) that can accept tax exempt charitable donations.
There will be two separate boards and two separate sets of books.
Mr. Rinehart explained this was a significant step that would better enable the Chamber to continue to
organize and implement several important events in Edmonds, events that build community and support
and maintain cherished traditions. The Chamber has been organizing community events in Edmonds for
over 100 years, relying nearly exclusively on sponsorships and donations from local businesses and
donations from residents. This goodwill and generosity has enabled the Chamber to put on events such as
the 4th of July parade and fireworks, Halloween and tree lighting. The 4th of July events cost
approximately $40,000; he relayed the Chamber’s plans to submit a request to the Council in May for
modest funding assistance. It is hoped the establishment of the foundation will induce more residents to
support these non-money making community events, particularly as their donations will qualify as tax-
exempt charitable donations. He advised donations could be made online at the Chamber’s website,
edmondswa.com or by visiting the Chamber offices at 121 5th Avenue N.
3B. COMMUNITY SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: PORT OF EDMONDS
Mary Lou Block, Port of Edmonds Commissioner, invited the Council, staff and the public to the
Port’s workshop on Wednesday, May 5 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Harbor Square Building 2. The purpose
of the workshop is to elicit comments, suggestions, and ideas regarding the redevelopment of Harbor
Square.
3C. DUE DILIGENCE ACTIVITIES REPORT.
Predicated on the Council’s approval of a Purchase and Sale Agreement, City Attorney Scott Snyder
suggested developing a calendar of the feasibility study dates when additional funds would be expended
and identifies the necessary due diligence activities the City must undertake as well as the Comprehensive
Plan amendments that will be required. He noted staff had previously presented to Council contracts for
an appraisal and the Level 1 environmental analysis. Both have a three week turnaround and it would be
preferable to have those results available to the Council prior to the expiration of the first 30 day
feasibility period when another $10,000 would be due. Options for Council are, 1) approve the contracts
with instruction to staff not to give authorization to proceed until the Council has approved the Purchase
and Sale Agreement and has the seller’s concurrence, or 2) schedule a special meeting to approve the
Packet Page 9 of 265
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 4, 2010
Page 3
contracts. He wanted to avoid the seller agreeing to the Council’s terms and a period of 4-5 days elapsing
before authorization could be obtained from the Council. He noted it was common for the Council to
approve a contract but withhold authorization to proceed. He summarized the appraisal and the Level 1
analysis were very time sensitive.
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to the appraisal that had been prepared for this property dated March
9 and asked whether that appraisal could be updated to save money. Mr. Snyder responded appraisers
have a relationship with whoever commissioned the appraisal. The appraisal identified in the contract is
intended to meet all state and federal grant requirements. He recommended the Council obtain its own
appraisal to ensure it was in the correct format for all purposes.
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
ORVIS, TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT TO PERFORM AN
APPRAISAL OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE
A CONTRACT TO PERFORM A PHASE 1 ESA OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WITH
INSTRUCTIONS TO STAFF NOT TO PROVIDE AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED UNTIL
THE COUNCIL HAS APPROVED A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT. MOTION
CARRIED (5-1), COUNCILMEMBER WILSON VOTING NO.
4. PRESENTATION ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained Shane Hope, Mountlake Terrace Community and Economic
Development Director, will provide an overview of the Inter-Jurisdictional Affordable Housing Program
under consideration by Snohomish County Tomorrow (SCT). She explained affordable housing is good,
quality housing for working people, first-time buyers, and seniors and can be further defined by each
community. Edmonds belongs to SCT which began in 1989 as a voluntary association of cities, towns, the
County and the Tulalip Tribes. Meetings focused on issues associated with growth and related impacts on
road systems, public services and resource lands. SCT has a rich history of success and provides a means
for fostering communication and creating an inter-jurisdictional forum.
Ms. Hope explained a study was conducted in 2009 about how different cities, the County and the region
could participate together to address affordable housing in new, meaningful ways. Key findings of the
study included:
The need is growing everywhere in Snohomish County, faster than expected.
Some officials are interested in creating an inter-jurisdictional program
A handful of successful models that provide:
o Creation of new capital recourse (e.g. trust fund)
o Collaborative planning and technical assistance
o A new local trust fund not workable at this time but collaborative planning and technical
assistance could be useful
New, dedicated staff capacity needed for meaningful collaboration
Business community sees need for diverse housing mix, though not a high priority
She described an example in King County, ARCH (A Regional Coalition for Housing):
Created in early 1990’s by Citizens Affordable Housing Task Force
A voluntary organization that began with just three cities and King County
Has now grown to 15 cities and King County
Since 1993, provided technical assistance to members and funded $27 million in projects
The basis for ARCH in King County is:
Growing need for affordable housing
Packet Page 10 of 265
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 4, 2010
Page 4
Current delivery system has many gaps
Increased local government support compliments efforts of private sector housing developers
Local governments that work together can be more effective
The study concluded a new voluntary inter-jurisdictional program could be effective in Snohomish
County if four threshold criteria are met:
Critical mass of participating jurisdictions
Funding commitments for 24 months of staff support
Host agency for administrative support
Agreement on who the program will serve and how it will be governed
Ms. Hope described the proposed governance:
Voluntary, Interlocal Agreement
Semi-independent governing body, appointed by participating jurisdictions
Advisory board(s) as needed
The proposed outcomes include:
Achieve affordable housing goals of participating jurisdictions focused on:
o Expanding affordable housing opportunities
Home ownership for households with <= median income
Rental housing for households <= 50% median income
o Where greatest need exists and provides adequate access to employment, education,
shopping, services, amenities, and transit
o Supporting safe neighborhoods and stable property values
o Locally identified needs
Proposed resources include one full time staff person depending on the number, size and resources of
jurisdictions; operating funds from participating jurisdictions and grants/state appropriates; and a long
range objective of new local funding sources for projects.
Proposed activities in the start-up phase include:
Focus on a variety of technical assistance, education and planning activities such as:
o Comprehensive Plan housing elements
o Regulatory or incentive strategies
o Funding developing
o Knowledge base of public, local officials and staff
o Share information across jurisdictions
o Monitor results
The SCT Committee accepted the report and agreed to co-convene with the Housing Consortium an
implementation task force. The task force included representatives of interested jurisdictions, along with
other public and private stakeholders. The program proposal will be used as a discussion draft. It is
recognized this process may take a full year. The interim task force’s recommendations include:
Get cities’ support
Identify funding opportunities – Representative Llias committed to help the group obtain state
seed money in the 2011 budget
Housing Authority of Snohomish County offered back office support
Initial jurisdiction set up program – 6-8 months (bylaws, goals, governing structure, etc) – arm of
SCT
Packet Page 11 of 265
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 4, 2010
Page 5
Ms. Hope reviewed several cost scenarios for an inter-jurisdictional housing program that ranged from
$.08 to $.50/per capita. Participation options for cities are:
A. Do not participate
B. Do not participate financially, be an observe only
C. Move forward carefully to participate in the program though SCT
She identified other cities that have agreed to participate including Lake Stevens, Mukilteo, Mountlake
Terrace, Marysville and Snohomish; other cities and Snohomish County are considering the program. She
identified next steps:
Provide direction on the City’s participation in establishing a program through SCT
March – June: SCT member jurisdictions to make commitment decision
June-December: participating SCT members begin working together to define and setup program
2011: Members seek program funding through available resources (state, local, etc.)
2012: if adequate funding, program to begin operation
Councilmember Wilson referred to a list of cost-burdened households by city which indicates Edmonds
has nearly 4,000 cost burdened households. Ms. Hope explained a cost-burdened housing is a household
that earns less than the median income for that jurisdiction and more than 30% of their household goes
toward housing. A teacher may be an example of a cost-burdened household; a teacher earning
$41,000/year can afford monthly rent of $1,025; the average monthly rent for a 3 bedroom apartment is
nearly $1,400. She summarized there were many people affected by the lack of housing choices in the
current market.
Councilmember Wilson asked if the senior population comprised a high percentage of cost burdened
households. Ms. Hope answered she did not have specific data but there are a significant number of
seniors in that category. Councilmember Wilson commented Edmonds wanted to be a community where
working families could afford homes as well as where seniors could continue to live.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT
BERNHEIM, THAT EDMONDS PARTICIPATE IN THE SCT INTER-JURISDICTIONAL
HOUSING PROGRAM, OPTION C (MOVE FORWARD CAREFULLY TO PARTICIPATE IN
PROGRAM THROUGH SCT).
Councilmember Buckshnis commented there was a great deal more information in the packet that was
available on the City’s website regarding median income, first time buyers, etc. She noted at the Town
Hall meetings Councilmember Fraley-Monillas and she have held several seniors have expressed a desire
to continue living in Edmonds. She was also interested in attracting younger adults 20-30 years old to
Edmonds She estimated Edmonds’ cost to participate based on the funding scenarios would be
approximately $9,000.
Councilmember Wilson commented affordable housing and low income housing were different. This item
was housing that people could afford. Often a teacher, an entry-level police officer or other public
employee may find it difficult to afford to live in Edmonds.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas assumed the estimated cost of $9,000 was based on the number of cities
participating now and the cost would decrease as more cities participated. Council President Bernheim
assured any cost would be decided at a later date. The Council was only agreeing to give serious future
consideration at a later time. This was not a commitment to funds and a decision would be required in the
future before any funds were committed. Ms. Hope agreed the more cities that participated, the lower the
cost.
Packet Page 12 of 265

Page 6
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Wilson requested Senior Executive Council Assistant Jana Spellman communicate with
the Snohomish County Council that Edmonds had agreed to participate. He also suggested Council
President Bernheim or Mayor Haakenson draft a letter expressing the City’s support, pointing out with
Snohomish County’s participation, Edmonds’ cost could be $9,000 or less; without Snohomish County it
would be $20,000+.
5. PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING POSSIBLE PURCHASE OF SKIPPER'S PROPERTY.
Mayor Haakenson reported the Council received 14 emails, 8 opposed to the purchase, 3 in favor, and 3
commenting on other issues.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, pointed out an appraisal has already been conducted of the property. He was
unaware who the other potential purchaser was or the amount of their offer.
Ron Wambolt, Edmonds, was pleased the Council was embarking on extensive due diligence. He
questioned whether an element of the due diligence process should be assessing whether the citizens
believed the purchase would be prudent. Of the 36 comments made at the April 20 and 27 Council
meetings, 24 opposed the purchase and 12 supported it. The results of an online poll conducted since
April 23 regarding whether the Council should purchase the Skipper’s property for $1.1 million revealed
only 12% of participants favored the purchase. He urged the Council to listen to the majority of Edmonds
citizens who have spoken against purchasing the Skipper’s property;
Joan Bloom, Edmonds, thanked the “fabulous five” for voting to consider purchase of the Skipper’s
property and for giving citizens three opportunities to provide input to Council. She recognized
Councilmembers Plunkett and Orvis who have steadfastly supported keeping heights low and maintaining
the small town feel of Edmonds; Councilmember Buckshnis who has been steadfast in pursuing
transparency in Edmonds City government; and Councilmember Fraley-Monillas who was instrumental
in reversing the Chapter 20 code change that further reduced citizen input into land use actions. She
recognized Council President Bernheim for the exceptional job he has done keeping the Council on task
and addressing the many serious issues facing the City. She shamed Councilmember Wilson for
suggesting a visionary action on the part of fellow Councilmembers was an irresponsible action and for
trying to deflect responsibility for the City’s problems away from where it belonged. The financial woes
of the City are the responsibility of Mayor Haakenson who has been in office for nearly 11 years because
it is he, with staff support, who is responsible for preparing and presenting the budget to Council. To
Councilmember Peterson, she would not forget that he supported the first Fire District 1 contract that
included selling all the fire stations and equipment. She expressed her wholehearted support for the
purchase of the Skipper’s property, finding it a key property in the Waterfront Activity Center that should
be reserved for public use rather than private development. She objected to the Chamber’s comments at
the last meeting, made on behalf of all board members. She compared this to Mayor Haakenson’s
comments on behalf of staff and himself to discontinue pursuit of an assessment of the ESE property,
finding that an egregious abuse of power.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, agreed with the importance of conducting due diligence. He noted the survey
results with regard to the purchase of the Skipper’s property were likely inaccurate due to scare tactics
such as the property would be purchased with General Fund monies and would affect jobs. When people
understood the way the purchase would be funded, there would be less concern. He recalled
Councilmember Wilson had supported the Port purchasing the property and after a levy, the Port selling it
to the City. He questioned Councilmember Wilson’s opposition to the purchase of the Skipper’s property
Packet Page 13 of 265
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 4, 2010
Page 7
when he had supported it in the past. He was excited about the City’s purchase of the Skipper’s property.
Recognizing today as the Day of Prayer, he offered a prayer for successful purchase of the Skipper’s
property by the City.
Shirley Wambolt, Edmonds, expressed concern with children playing in a park on the Skipper’s site due
to hazards created by ferry traffic.
To Ms. Bloom, Councilmember Wilson expressed his appreciation and respect for her engagement
although he disagreed with her position.
To Mr. Hertrich, Councilmember Wilson explained under different circumstances he may be able to
support the purchase of the Skipper’s property, if it made sense financially and if it made sense within a
broader vision for the properties. He did not support purchasing the property under these circumstances.
6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, reported on the successful food drive at Top Foods on April 2-3 where citizens
purchased 500 bags at $5/each to donate to the Food Bank. He recognized several long time volunteers at
the Edmonds Food Bank.
Dave Page, Edmonds, explained his business was at the bottom of a 20% grade on 196th. He recalled in
the past they have contacted the Police Department several times a year to address speeding in that area.
Since the installation of a sign that displays vehicle speeds, speeding has virtually been eliminated. He
suggested installing more signs in strategic locations, noting the cost of the signs was approximately
$8,000.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, reported on a meeting he attended yesterday that indicated the towers
proposed for the old Safeway site would be affordable housing. The description provided of affordable
housing was for working people, first-time buyers and seniors and as defined by each community. He
pointed out the definition of affordable housing includes not just subsidized income-restricted housing
units but all private and public housing units that are affordable for low and moderate income families.
Next, he referred to the contract addendum for the Odor Control Improvement Project, noting the bids for
that project in 2009 were $1,410,000. Because the City had adequate cash in the Utility Fund, the project
was paid for outright rather than borrowing money. He questioned whether it was better to borrow money
and save cash for a rainy day or if the City was charging too much for its utilities if there was $1.6 million
available in the Utility Fund.
In response to Mr. Hertrich, Councilmember Buckshnis explained although she did not pull that item
from the Consent Agenda, she planned to follow-up on the $1.6 million Odor Control Improvement
Project.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas expressed her appreciation to Mr. Rutledge for recognizing volunteers in
the community.
7. 2009 BUDGET REVIEW
Council President Bernheim reported the packet included the latest financials as of September 30, 2009.
He explained that through the third quarter of 2009, General Fund expenditures were 70% of budget. He
commented on the importance of enhancing revenue and limiting expenditures and eagerly awaited
updated financial information.
Packet Page 14 of 265
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 4, 2010
Page 8
Councilmember Wilson observed the fact that General Fund expenditures were 70% of budget three-
quarters of the way through 2009 was due to a $400,000 savings from staff furloughs, not spending
$300,000 in Automobile Fleet Replacement, not spending $50,000 due to funds raised by the community
for Yost Pool, and not filling positions such as the Development Services Director who retired in April
2009. He summarized General Fund expenditures were 70% of budget rather than 75% of budget due to
those cuts. Mayor Haakenson agreed.
8. YEAREND 2009/FIRST QUARTER 2010 BUDGET UPDATE
Finance Director Lorenzo Hines distributed Yearend 2009 and First Quarter 2010 Budget information. He
pointed out the information was not in the format the Council was accustomed to as he was in the process
of producing the final report. This is a potpourri of reports used to create the yearend report. He advised
the final 2009 Yearend Report and 2010 First Quarter would not be complete to his standards until
Friday; he offered to email those reports to the Council.
He referred to an outline of General Fund revenues at yearend 2009 and total General Fund revenues,
noting at the end of 2009, General Fund revenues are slightly above budget. He referred to a section
regarding City departments yearend 2009, explaining the majority of City departments are under budget, a
few were on budget. He pointed out the Engineering function was broken out in Development Services.
Mayor Haakenson summarized Mr. Hines would email Councilmembers the fourth quarter 2009 Report
and the 2010 First Quarter Report by Friday and provide a report to the Finance Committee on May 11.
Mr. Hines referred to the 17-page Expenditure Status Report, explaining the adjusted appropriation for
General Fund expenditures was $34.2 million; actual expenditures were $32.9 million or $1.3 million
under budget for 2009. The next group of reports were directly from the City’s accounting system and
were consistent with those in the quarterly report. There are reports for the Street Fund, Combined
Street/Utility Improvement, Multimodal, Building Maintenance, Municipal Arts, Hotel/Motel, Employee
Parking Permit, Tourism Promotion, REET 2, REET 1, Cemetery Maintenance, Park Construction, etc.
He explained the information provided includes a revenue status report for REET 2 and REET 1 to allow
comparison with the expenditure status report.
Councilmember Wilson requested a report regarding how the rate changes at Yost Pool impacted
attendance and revenue.
9. COUNCIL REVIEW AND DECISION CONCERNING PRIMARY ELECTION BALLOT
RESOLUTION FOR 8/17/10 LEVY.
Council President Bernheim explained the deadline for Council action to place a levy on the August ballot
was May 18. He suggested in order to provide adequate time to review the budget, the Council not take
action to place a levy on the August ballot.
Councilmember Wilson recalled the Finance Committee was to provide some options.
Councilmember Orvis asked whether the TBD Board planned to meet to discuss placing a ballot measure
on the September ballot. Council President Bernheim explained the TBD Board was provided a list of
priority projects for various TBD amounts. The Board agreed to review the list and schedule another
meeting in 4-6 weeks to make a decision regarding a ballot measure.
Councilmember Plunkett explained the Finance Committee met yesterday to consider whether to begin
the process with the information developed in 2009 or begin a new process that included the formation of
Packet Page 15 of 265
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 4, 2010
Page 9
a commission. The Finance Committee recommended using the real numbers from 2009 that are being
reported now and to form a small commission to consider a levy, not necessarily in the primary or general
election but perhaps as late as February 2011.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented one of the reasons for moving forward with actual numbers is
expenses have changed dramatically from the 2008 numbers that were used to create the 2009 levy due to
the removal of 54 Fire Department employees. Revenues have also changed due to the elimination of the
Esperance and Woodway fire contracts as well as EMS fees. She recommended using the actuals and the
executive forecasts to develop high and low projections for 2015-2017. She also planned to consider
financing a Senior Center, Yost Pool and other mixtures of General Fund and capital funding in a levy.
Councilmember Wilson explained for the 2-3 members of the Council who had not previously voted on a
budget, the process begins essentially now as staff begins to gather information. A Budget Review
Committee comprised of a couple Councilmembers and Department Directors meet in August and Mayor
Haakenson presents his budget in October or earlier. The budget is typically adopted the first week in
December. If a levy is not presented to the voters in August or November, the Council would be voting on
a budget for 2011-2012 that did not include any additional revenue from a levy.
Councilmember Wilson noted Councilmembers agree that by mid-late 2012, the City’s budget would be
in the red. He assured the City’s budget would not go into the red because the 2011-2012 budget Mayor
Haakenson presents will cut large swaths of City services, entire departments. The Council did not have
all the time they might want to have or have as much certainty about the numbers as they might like
because without a levy, it would be necessary to decide whether to cut Yost Pool, close parks or fire cops.
He explained even if the entire Finance and Human Resources Departments were eliminated, it would not
address the budget shortfall nor would it be possible to run the City without those departments.
Councilmember Wilson summarized the Council could argue about how exact the numbers were,
acknowledging his frustration with not having up-to-date numbers. He anticipated the reason was Mr.
Hines wanted to ensure the numbers were exact. He did not think a successful levy would be possible if
the Council purchased the Skipper’s property. If the five Councilmembers who want to purchase the
Skipper’s property also want to be able to run the City, he urged them not to wait for perfection with
regard to the numbers and to begin developing a levy option soon.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas recognized Councilmember Wilson’s panic and urgency and the
upcoming budget, commenting she would not be bullied into a levy. She wanted information as well as to
understand what the public wants and to look at the issues before she made a decision regarding what levy
amount was needed.
Councilmember Wilson commented the Council did not always have the luxury of all the time
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas would like. Although he has been a strong advocate for a levy, he would
be hard pressed to support a levy in August or September because he did not believe it would be
successful if the Council purchased the Skipper’s property. He reiterated significant cuts would be
required if a levy were not passed, pointing out if the Council did not take action, Mayor Haakenson
would make the necessary cuts.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas responded Skipper’s was not part of the budget and she did not
appreciate Councilmember Wilson bringing it into the conversation. She stressed the importance of due
diligence and looking at the budget as quickly as possible to make a decision about the levy. She
reiterated she would not be bullied/pushed into a levy without having adequate information. She
recognized Councilmember Wilson was more comfortable with the process because he had been part of
the budget in the past, but all Councilmembers need to understand the budget so that it can be presented to
Packet Page 16 of 265
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 4, 2010
Page 10
the citizens. She was less concerned about the numbers Mr. Hines is providing than she was with the
future and whether a levy was necessary, when it would be appropriate to place a levy on the ballot,
whether the TBD planned to have an increase in the vehicle license fee on the ballot, how much the levy
should be, and what items should be included in a levy. She was concerned a levy was being pushed on
the Council without adequate information.
Councilmember Wilson urged Councilmember Fraley-Monillas to be specific about what information she
needed and to ask staff for it. The Finance Committee was asked to consider options and have provided
their recommendation. He suggested Council President Bernheim develop a decision tree for the Council
to identify a process for moving forward. He agreed the process needed to include consideration of
whether a TBD fee would be placed on the ballot, whether the issue of a City Manager form of
government would be on the ballot and what cuts would be made such as closing parks.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas reiterated she felt panic was being pushed on the citizens. She favored
reviewing the issue in a methodical manner. She commented it was not Chicken Little and the sky was
not falling at this point and although it may, until the Council got adequate information, she could not
support a levy. She referred to Councilmember Wilson’s 2009 levy proposal, noting it was necessary to
adjust that proposal to reflect current circumstances. She objected to the insinuation that the sky was
falling, that the City was going to fire police, and shutter parks, yet buy property on the waterfront,
finding those statements disingenuous.
Councilmember Wilson objected to Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referring to him as disingenuous,
clarifying he did think the sky was falling, she may have a different opinion. He was panicked because he
did not want to take a vote to fire cops or close parks and envisioned that would be necessary. He
preferred to explain to citizens why a levy was necessary rather than determine which City staff positions
to eliminate. He commented the Skipper’s property was absolutely relevant because if the Council is
buying property, it lends to the perception that the City must have money. If that is the message citizens
hear, regardless of whether it is funded via bonds, REET, parking revenue or whatever, the perception is
the City has money which is counter productive to passing a levy.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented the City was paying $1.6 million for odor improvements at the
treatment plant. The Council needs to understand the actual budget numbers in order to move forward.
The last two financial quarterlies will be very informative; the 4th quarter 2009 will include revenue from
the Cash for Clunkers program and the 1st Quarter 2010 will reflect the upturn in the economy. She
wanted to obtain the numbers, noting she had identified a person willing to be on the commission that
would help her analyze the executive summary to develop a low, moderate and high projection. With
regard to the Skipper’s property, she clarified that was a capital acquisition; the levy to date is to provide
General Fund revenue for operating, two separate things. She also wanted to consider the possibility of
park acquisitions in a levy.
Councilmember Wilson agreed the Skipper’s property was a capital purchase; however, the funds
discussed for a portion of the purchase, approximately $600,000, could be used for operational purposes.
Those funds were in the General Fund until a few months ago. He did not disagree with any of
Councilmember Buckshnis’ sentiment, and agreed more information was better and that having the
numbers was important but the City was headed into the red. The longer the Council waited, the worse
that situation gets and the more irrelevant the Council becomes because the Mayor will make those
decisions. He anticipated the budget Mayor Haakenson presents in September/October will be horrible
and would cause hundreds of people to urge the Council not to close Yost Pool, close parks, or cut cops
and the Council would be in a very uncomfortable position. He urged the Council to think about how to
fund basic government without a levy.
Packet Page 17 of 265
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 4, 2010
Page 11
Regardless of whether the Council purchased the Skipper’s property, and regardless of when a levy was
run unless it was run and approved in August, Mayor Haakenson explained the 2011-2012 budget he
presents will not be pretty. He did not anticipate there was enough time to develop a levy and educate the
public in time for a levy on the August ballot. The 2011-2012 budget he presents on October 1 will reflect
severe budget cuts because projections show the budget in the red in 2012. During every budget cycle, a
five year forecast is prepared. Each time a deficit has been apparent, staff has suggested actions the
Council could take and the Council has been able over the years to approve budget cuts or increase
revenues to delay the deficit. He assured there were no more rabbits to pull out of the hat, it was not panic
nor the sky falling, it was a fact, the City would be in the red in 2012 if something was not done, either
the voters asked to pay more taxes for the services they receive today or he will make the necessary
budget cuts. Budget cuts mean cutting staff and reducing services. He summarized the 2011-2012 budget
he presents will not have the City in the red in 2012 but the budget cuts will be severe.
Councilmember Plunkett commented the budget Mayor Haakenson presents could be augmented by funds
from a levy in November or February if the citizens were willing to support a levy increase. He favored a
methodical approach and educating the public. He anticipated the cuts reflected in the 2011-2012 budget
may generate support for a levy. He concluded there was little impact on the budget of placing a levy on
the November or February ballot.
Mayor Haakenson commented if Councilmembers were awaiting a Council-approved budget before
making a decision on a levy, it would be well into December before the Council adopts the budget.
Waiting until December would delay a levy until mid 2011.
Councilmember Wilson pointed out although the Mayor would present a very ugly budget in October, if a
levy were passed at the November election, the Council would have an opportunity to update the budget
following the election. If a levy is delayed until February, the 2011-2012 budget with significant budget
cuts would need to be passed in December 2010.
Councilmember Plunkett asked if the Council wanted to start the levy process with fresh numbers and
establish a commission.
Councilmember Buckshnis envisioned a commission of seven or fewer people that would operate like an
examination, one-on-one figuring things out. Then all the numbers would be put together and the
commission would provide the Council a recommendation.
Councilmember Orvis agreed with forming a commission.
Councilmember Wilson requested a written proposal before a commission was established. He pointed
out none of this was new; Councilmembers were welcome to meet one-on-one or with others; however
the 7-member commission that is charged with reviewing the budget and developing a levy is the City
Council. He found the formation of a commission a poor idea.
Councilmember Plunkett agreed to present to the Council a written levy commission proposal including
how members would be selected, etc.
10. DISCUSSION REGARDING COUNCIL-MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
Councilmember Plunkett explained the packet contained the RCWs with regard to a Council-Manager
form of government. With regard to the timing, Councilmember Plunkett commented it would be unfair
to bring up this issue in the first or second year of a new or reelected Mayor’s term. It would also be
difficult to bring up in the fourth year of a Mayor’s term due to the potential for a Council-Manager form
Packet Page 18 of 265
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 4, 2010
Page 12
of government as well as candidates for Mayor to be on the ballot. He viewed this year as the best as
Mayor Haakenson has indicated he does not plan to run for reelection. This item was a request for the
Council to schedule a public hearing followed by a decision whether to place it on the ballot. The cost of
a ballot measure was approximately $10,000 that could be funded from the Council Contingency Fund.
Councilmember Plunkett explained if the measure was supported by the voters, it became effective upon
certification of the election. Upon certification, the current Mayor becomes the eighth City
Councilmember for the remainder of his term. Upon certification a City Manager would begin managing
the City.
Councilmember Plunkett explained the council-manager system of local government started in 1908.
Since its establishment, the Council-Manager form has become the most popular form of government in
the United States. Currently, 3,625 cities operate under this form. The cities range in size and more than
75.5 million people are within this form of government. Some examples are Phoenix, San Diego, Dallas,
Cincinnati, San Antonio, Kansas City, Missouri, and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
Edmonds would still have a mayor who would be elected by the Council from among the
Councilmembers. Councilmember Plunkett relayed his preference that Mayor Haakenson continue to
serve as the mayor. The mayor would continue to preside at council meetings, serve as a spokesperson for
the community, facilitate communication and understanding between elected and appointed officials,
assist the council in setting goals, advocate policy and serve as a promoter and defender of the
community. However, the day-to-day running of the City would be administered by a professional City
Manager.
The manager is hired to serve the Council and the community and to bring to local government the
benefits of training and experience in administering local government projects and programs on behalf of
the governing body. The manager prepares a budget for the Council’s consideration; recruits, hires, and
supervises the staff; serves as the Council’s chief adviser; and carries out the Council’s policies.
Councilmembers and citizens count on the manager to provide complete and objective information, pros
and cons of alternatives, and long-term consequences. Most of the business of a city is just that, business
and managing employees.
Councilmembers are elected to focus on policy issues. This leaves a city manager, appointed by Council,
free to carry out and manage policy. The Council focuses on the community’s goals, major projects, and
such long-term considerations as community public safety, land use, capital improvement plans,
financing, and strategic planning. The Council hires a professional manager to carry out the
administrative responsibilities and then supervises that manager’s performance.
He explained the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), in existence since 1914, is
the professional organization for appointed chief management executives in local government. ICMA
members are committed to standards of honesty and integrity more vigorous than those required by the
law. The ICMA’s Code of Ethics is available by contacting the ICMA.
If a decision was made to place the issue on the ballot, the Council would begin consideration of who
would assume the City Manager’s role upon certification of the election. It could be an existing staff
member or the Council could take preliminary steps with regard to hiring a City Manager.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented there are a number of city managers locally including Shoreline,
Bothell, Des Moines and the reports they provide monthly are very impressive. She questioned the cost of
having both a city manager and a mayor. Councilmember Plunkett assumed when the Mayor became a
Packet Page 19 of 265
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
May 4, 2010
Page 13
City Councilmember, his salary would be reduced to the City Council’s salary, leaving the Mayor’s
existing salary structure for a City Manager.
Councilmember Wilson commented the idea has merit and previous City Councils have considered it. In
his day job, he works with city managers as well as strong mayors. He used to teach political science at
the college level including state and local government and the pros and cons of Council-Manager form of
government. He explained the type of jurisdictions determined whether a Council-Manager form of
government was appropriate. Cities with unengaged citizens often have poor-performing
Councilmembers who do not have a great deal of professional skills. With a weak citizenry and weak
Council, it was appropriate to have a strong professional in the position of city manager. Cities with
stronger citizenry/voter engagement typically have stronger Councils with a high degree of turnover,
active elections, etc. and there is less need for a professional city manager and the mayor often has
experience and is culled from the Council. He concluded because Edmonds has a very active citizenry, a
city manager would not be appropriate.
Councilmember Wilson commented a city’s executive administration is always professional and always
political. The question is where does the political head of the executive lie. In a strong mayor form of
government, the mayor is the political voice of the executive and he/she is directly elected by the people.
In the case of a city manager, he/she must still be political to manage the egos of the Councilmembers and
the arrows thrown at staff. What often occurs with a political city manager is one of two things, first the
Council decides to make a change because they do not want the city manager being political which may
happen whenever the Council majority shifts. For example Mountlake Terrace and Shoreline have
changed their city manager often due to a new majority on the City Council. That is terrible for staff
retention as well as city visioning and development. The second thing that can happen with a strong,
politically savvy manager is what happened in Tacoma; bad things can happen when there is that much
power in an unelected staff person who essentially controls the strings. The way to guard against
instability with a city manager or a hyper politically powerful unelected city manager is a strong mayor.
The only reason a strong mayor can be successful is with an engaged citizenry. Because Edmonds has a
very engaged citizenry, the strong mayor is the appropriate system of government. He was supportive of
hearing from the public but would not support a Council-Manager form of government absent a
fundamental change in the citizenry.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas was interested in hearing from the citizens regarding this issue. She
agreed there was no better time to consider this at the conclusion of one Mayor’s career.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule a public hearing.
11. LONG RANGE PLANS FOR FUTURE REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS
Council President Bernheim explained he scheduled this in order to address the public’s concern
regarding real estate purchases, pointing out the civic playfields are a possible future acquisition. He
anticipated when the lease with the City expired, the property owner would look to private purchasers for
development opportunities. The alternative would be for the City to purchase the property.
Councilmember Plunkett asked when the civic playfield lease expired. Parks & Recreation Director Brian
McIntosh answered it expired in February 2021. Councilmember Plunkett asked whether the City had
been in contact with the Edmonds School District regarding the future of the property. Mr. McIntosh
responded the School District was not interested in discussing it at this time.
12A. COUNCIL REPORTS ON OUTSIDE COMMITTEE/BOARD MEETINGS.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas reported on the well attended Town Meeting Councilmember Buckshnis
and she held on April 30. She thanked the Colonial Pantry for the great service they provided. Attendees
Packet Page 20 of 265

at this meeting included a Planning Board Member and a Department Director who lives in Edmonds. She
explained many people are uncomfortable with speaking at Council meetings but are comfortable with
this venue. One of the issues discussed was the Firdale Village development and how it may affect their
neighborhood.
Councilmember Plunkett offered to report on the Citizens Technology Advisory Committee meeting at
the next Council meeting.
Councilmember Buckshnis reported the Port is moving forward with plans for redevelopment of Harbor
Square. She relayed the Port Commissioners’ invitation for the public to email their comments regarding
redevelopment. At their recent meeting, the Port reviewed their first quarter report; the Port is doing well
financially, Harbor Square is 67% rented.
Councilmember Buckshnis reported on the Snohomish County Tomorrow meeting where they are
discussing countywide planning policies.
Councilmember Wilson reported the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee met to discuss allocation of funds
to efforts that promote tourism and the arts. Councilmember Peterson and he, members of the Long Range
Task Force, met with Mayor Haakenson regarding the challenges facing the City. He reported on two
meetings regarding Lake Ballinger, the first with the homeowner’s association and the second with the
Lake Balling Forum. A new Interlocal Agreement with the entities involved in the Lake Ballinger Forum
will be presented to the Council in the near future. He also met with the SNOCOM Executive Director,
with the City’s Lobbyist Mike Doubleday, with the Port Director on two occasions and had nine other
meetings related to City Council business.
Councilmember Plunkett reported Finance Director Lorenzo Hines will report to the Council regarding
wireless in the Council Chambers and the fiber optics business plan in mid June.
12B. EXECUTIVE SESSION REGARDING POTENTIAL PURCHASE OF REAL ESTATE
At 9:05 p.m., Mayor Haakenson announced the City Council would meet in executive session at 9:10
p.m. regarding negotiations for the purchase of real estate. He stated the executive session was scheduled
to last approximately 30 minutes and would be held in the Jury Meeting Room, located in the Public
Safety Complex. Elected officials present at the executive session were: Mayor Haakenson, and
Councilmembers Bernheim, Plunkett, Fraley-Monillas, Buckshnis, Orvis, and Wilson. Others present
were Community Services/Economic Development Director Stephen Clifton, Parks and Recreation
Director Brian McIntosh, City Clerk Sandy Chase, and Bill Bickel, Champion Real Estate Services. At
9:44 p.m., Mayor Haakenson announced the Council’s request to extend the executive session for 5
minutes. The executive session concluded at 9:50 p.m. The regular City Council meeting was reconvened
at 9:51 p.m.
12C. POTENTIAL ACTION REGARDING POTENTIAL PURCHASE OF REAL ESTATE
Council President Bernheim explained the City had made a written offer on the Skipper’s property. That
offer has expired without being accepted by the bank and the bank has not offered a written counter offer.
He expressed his willingness to keep the City’s offer on the table.
Councilmember Wilson expressed his respect to his Council colleagues for being level headed. The offer
the City made and the bank’s counter offer were for $1.1 million. The details were with regard to
environmental due diligence and study to ensure the City was not assuming a liability. He summarized
that not countering with another offer was demonstrative of the Council’s level-headed, clear thinking.

Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented this has been a very interesting exercise in the due diligence
and responsibility of elected officials. No matter what has been stated in the community, it has been a
good experience and everyone in the City has been well represented. She congratulated the Council for
having differences but still moving forward.

Resolution establishing fees for Stormwater Permits.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Staff recommends approval by City Council.
Previous Council Action
On April 20, 2010, City Council approved ECDC Chapter 18.30 Stormwater Management Code.
Narrative
On April 20, 2010 Council passed a new Stormwater Management code (ECDC 18.30). A section
in the new code, ECDC 18.30.040, establishes that application fees and the compensation to be
charged by the City for Stormwater Permits be established by a resolution and that such
resolutions are adopted in the sole legislative discretion of the City Council of the City of
Edmonds.
Construction, modification, or repair projects that do not require any other City permit or is
included in a submitted subdivision application are required to have a Stormwater Permit to
comply with Chapter 18.30 ECDC. For example, if an applicant proposes to convert a vegetated
area on a private parking lot that is 2,000 square feet or greater with impervious surface.
Based upon experience, administering sewer and right of way permits, staff estimates that an
average of three hours of staff time is required to administer and issue a permit (exclusive of
appeals); and staff has been assigned an hourly rate of sixty dollars ($60) per hour to recapture
employee costs.
Pursuant to the authorization of ECDC 18.30.040, the fee established for the stormwater Permit
will be $185 plus inspection fees. The fee will be effective for all Stormwater Permits as of June 1,
2010 commensurate with the effective date of the new Chapter 18.30 ECDC.

The main purpose of the Edmonds Visitors Center is to promote tourism
and market Edmonds as a great place to live, work, and visit. The VC,
which is housed in an historic Log Cabin, is stocked with information
about Edmonds such as; Edmonds rack cards, community calendars of
events, Edmonds maps, local lodging information, and community
services information. Our VC is staffed with knowledgeable volunteers
who work diligently to provide up-to-date tourism information,
community information, and provide necessary services to visitors and
members of the community.
Yearly the Edmonds Visitors Center greets over 3,000 visitors, receives
approximately 1,500 phone calls, and mails out relocation packets and
tourist information to hundreds of people. The Log Cabin, as it is
affectionately called by locals, is open Monday through Friday from 9
a.m. – 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Our volunteer staff
donates over 3,000 hours a year. Many are long-standing Log Cabin
volunteers with a few having over 20 years of service to our Visitors
Center!
Expenses incurred by the Visitors Center include:
Telephone service
Postage
Computer related items, i.e., the computer itself, internet service, and
technical support
Office supplies
Chamber staff time to manage the volunteer group
Miscellaneous charges
For the past 15+ years the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce has taken on
the sole responsibility for the running of the Visitors Center. Annually,
the Chamber provides an operating budget of approximately $2,500.00
dollars to support this endeavor. At this time we would like to
respectfully request funding in the amount of $2,500.00 to help us
continue to maintain this institution in Edmonds. The Chamber Board,
staff, and volunteers are dedicated to the preservation of this wonderful
service to the Edmonds community and its visitors. We hope that you
will partner with us in our efforts to continue to make Edmonds a great
place to live, work, and play.
Thank you very much for your consideration of our request.
Sincerely,
Jan Vance
Executive Director

Hearing no further comment, Mayor Haakenson closed the public participation portion of the public
hearing.
In response to Mr. Hertrich’s question about visibility blockage, Mr. Snyder explained the proposed
revisions address where in the code penalties can be found. Visibility blockage is defined elsewhere in the
code; visibility blockage refers to impediments to the view of the public as it travels on public or private
easements. The Community Services/Development Services Committee recommended an increase in the
penalty for an illegal sewer connection fee. The Committee also discussed whether the penalty for illegal
tree cutting was adequate, currently $1000/day and $500/tree and tripled to $3000/day or $1500/tree for
clearing in a critical area. Recent discussions of tree value in Native Growth Protection Easements
indicated those penalties are somewhat low. An upcoming Council agenda will include a discussion
regarding trees in general and the Committee felt it would be appropriate to discuss tree value and
whether to raise the penalty at that time. The revisions to Title 18 were intended to provide clear appeal
references and not make substantive changes. Council President Bernheim advised that discussion was
scheduled for the May Community Services/Development Services Committee meeting.
With regard to Ms. Petso’s comment, a variance in a subdivision or PRD from the City’s requirements
should be considered as a waiver in that process. The process in Title 18 is intended to be applicable only
to undergrounding requirement for individual homes and the extension of existing systems rather than
new subdivisions.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BUCKSHNIS, FOR APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NO. 3788. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY. The ordinance approved is as follows:
COORDINATING THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE 18 AND TITLE 20 BY AMENDING ECDC
SECTION 18.00.020(C); AMENDING 18.10.010 SEWER CONNECTIONS, SECTION E

5B. INTERIM ORDINANCE AMENDING PROVISIONS OF TITLE 20 ECDC RELATING TO
PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS TO ALLOW CLOSED RECORD
ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL OF PRELIMINARY PRD DECISIONS AND TO ELIMINATE
OVERLAP OF PERIMETER BUFFERS AND SETBACKS FOR EXTERIOR LOT LINES
(Formerly Consent Agenda Item 2K)
Council President Bernheim explained there were two issues proposed by this ordinance, 1) returning the
appeal of a PRD to the City Council, making it a type III-B application rather that the current III-A where
appeals are to the Hearing Examiner, and 2) clarifying the language so that PRD perimeter buffers are
separate from setback requirements. He explained under the current ambiguous language, a property
owner on the perimeter of a PRD may find their backyard is comprised of the setback and perimeter
buffer. If the intent is to have a perimeter buffer as compensation for the increased density allowed in a
PRD, the perimeter buffer should be separate from backyards and setbacks. He proposed the Council
adopt the Option 1 ordinance included in the packet that would adopt these two revisions on an interim
Packet Page 129 of 265

Page 7
basis and to schedule a public hearing within the next 1-2 months. He explained the options before the
Council were to adopt the interim ordinance tonight and have these two provisions in place for a six
month period pending a public hearing and further discussion/action. If no further action was taken, the
provisions would expire in six months. The other option was not to adopt the interim ordinance and set a
public hearing prior to any further action.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON,
FOR APPROVAL OF INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 3787, ALTERNATIVE 1 IN THE COUNCIL
PACKET.
Mr. Snyder clarified PRD’s allow concentrated density not enhanced density. He explained Council
President Bernheim’s direction to the City Attorney’s office was to prepare an ordinance for public
hearing; it was unclear whether the intent was a public hearing tonight or on a future date. The ordinances
provide both options. Council President Bernheim advised a public hearing would be scheduled for a
future date. Mr. Snyder advised the date of the public hearing was not included in the ordinance; a date
within 60 days should be inserted.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The ordinance approved is as follows:
ORDINANCE NO. 3787 – AMENDING PROVISIONS OF TITLE 20 ECDC RELATING TO
PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS TO ALLOW CLOSED RECORD
ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL OF PRELIMINARY PRD DECISIONS AND TO ELIMINATE
OVERLAP OF PERIMETER BUFFERS AND SETBACKS FOR EXTERIOR LOT LINES, AND
FIXING A TIME WHEN THE SAME SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE.
5C. FISCAL POLICIES (Formerly Agenda Item 12)
Councilmember Buckshnis explained at the Council retreat she was asked to prepare fiscal policies. After
conducting a great deal of research of other cities’ fiscal policies, and discussion with Finance Director
Lorenzo Hines and Councilmember Plunkett she drafted fiscal policies and resolution. After reviewing
the policies, City Attorney Scott Snyder drafted an alternate resolution as well as an ordinance. She
identified sections of her proposed fiscal policies that Mr. Snyder separated into a resolution and an
ordinance and his addition of a section that states the forms and information must be compliant with the
requirements established by the State Auditor. She relayed the conversation Mr. Hines and she had
regarding modified accrual accounting and full accrual accounting; modified accrual accounting is
typically used in municipalities because there is not a net worth or income statement.
She reviewed the changes that would occur when the policies were adopted:
Improved report labeling. She displayed City of Redmond’s reports that are labeled Monthly All
Recap Funds, the month, biennium budget. By comparison, Edmonds’ reports are labeled
Example B.
Including financial information on the City’s website. She displayed financial information
available on the City of Lake Oswego’s website that included budget projections and details that
help the citizens understand the city’s financial condition. The goal will be to provide information
in the finance section of the City’s website.
Providing the fund flow of the General Fund.
Improved narrative of trends and indicators. She displayed the City of Des Moines quarterly
report that provides explanation of revenue and expenses. This provides a framework to support
the City’s financials.
She summarized providing this information on the City’s website would allow citizens to become more
familiar with the City’s financial condition.

The following compares two levy options. One is a “technology and general operations levy” or “Prop
1,” which was presented by the mayor in June. The second, “Prop 2,” would be called a “Public Safety
and Parks Levy” and will be presented July 21st.
Both levies are $3.75m in total, or equal to $18.50 per month for the average Edmonds home
($456,000). Both levies fully fund existing services (with 2 exceptions in Prop 2), provide for reserves to
carry us into the future, and begin the process of catching up with deferred investments from the last
decade.

2015 $3,649,797 $3,053,314 $ 1,972,750
Current projected 2010 ending fund balance without a levy = $1,308,305. These numbers do not
account for inflation in personnel costs. Non-personnel ongoing costs would be held in 2010 dollars in
any case (Senior Center funding would remain at an additional $100,000). Marginal cost increases are in
2010 numbers. Also, all economic development dollars are allocated to 2010, even though those funds
are proposed to be spread over three years.
3 This comes from City Finance Dept goal of reserves equal to 1/12 of the annual expenses.

$6,000-$7,000/month on fiber optics with only continued promises it would generate revenue. He viewed
the fiber optics as speculation and did not support the City being in that business.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, proposed the budget include pay raises for employees who provide good service.
He pointed out the primary issue was increases in healthcare insurance premiums for union and non-union
employees. He anticipated the second quarter revenues would be higher.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PLUNKETT, TO EXTEND THE MEETING FOR ONE HOUR. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Buckshnis suggested in the future budget cuts comply with the ordinance that states
financials for September 2009 and December 2009 be available on the website. She also suggested a
proforma be available on the website. Mayor Haakenson asked what she considered a proforma.
Councilmember Buckshnis answered the executive summary was a five year proforma. Mayor Haakenson
agreed to have the executive summary posted on the website as well as the December 2009 financials
when they were available.
Councilmember Orvis commented his primary interest during the budget process would be distinguishing
revenues particularly government service fees and parks fees in order to determine each department’s
dependence on fees.
11. COUNCIL REVIEW OF LEVY OPTIONS.
Council President Bernheim announced May 18, 2010 was the deadline for Council action to place a levy
on the August ballot and August 3, 2010 was the deadline for placing a levy on the November ballot.
Council President Bernheim reviewed the history of the Council action with regard to the levy:
April 21, 2009 the Council requested staff prepare two options, 1) a general operations levy, and
2) a dedicated parks/public safety/families option.
The following week the Council took public comment and five people commented.
The next week the Council again took public comment and a couple more people commented.
May 19, 2009 the Council passed a resolution to have some kind of levy in 2009.
June 16, 2009 staff returned with proposed language for only a general operations levy.
June 23, 2009 the Council voted again to reaffirm their commitment to a levy.
July 21, 2009 Councilmember Wilson and he presented a dedicated levy option for parks, public
safety and family/social services.
July 21, 2009 the Council voted unanimously to put a levy option to the people.
July 28, 2009 the Council voted 4-2 to postpone placing a levy o the ballot to 2010.
Since then the Edmonds School District and the Library District levies have passed.
Council President Bernheim explained annual property taxes increases were capped at 1%; however, the
City’s expenses increase by a greater amount. Labor expenses, whether individual salaries or health
benefits or hiring more people, have historically increased by more than 1%/year. He summarized the
City’s budget shortfall was not due to irresponsible spending but because revenues did not keep pace with
expenses. As a result government must periodically ask the voters for tax increases.
Council President Bernheim voiced his support for giving the voters an opportunity to choose whether
their property taxes should increase via a targeted levy that supported parks, the Senior Center,
recreational activities. In 1-2 weeks, he planned to present the Council a variant of the dedicated levy
Councilmember Wilson and he proposed last year in time to take action by May 18.

Councilmember Wilson was discouraged the Council postponed the vote on the levy last year,
anticipating a levy on the November ballot was unlikely to succeed due to national elections that would
highlight the poor state of the economy. It was also unlikely a levy would be placed on the ballot in 2011
as four Councilmembers and the Mayor’s position were up for election. Waiting to place a levy on the
ballot in 2012 would require the closure of a major portion of City government. If City pursued the
purchase of the Skipper’s property, under the current projections, the City would be in the red in second
quarter of 2012 versus the fourth quarter if the property were not purchased. The Council could not
complete the 2011-2012 budget without either closing a portion of City government or proposing a levy.
He anticipated there was little chance the voters would approve a levy unless it was done in August.
However, he found it irresponsible to purchase the Skipper’s property and then ask for a levy.
Councilmember Orvis recalled the Transportation Benefit District (TBD) has shown a willingness to
place an increase in the vehicle license fee on the ballot. He asked whether the TBD would be meeting to
decide when that would be placed on the ballot. Council President Bernheim recalled at their last meeting
the TBD agreed to schedule a follow-up meeting once staff provided a list of priority projects. He agreed
to schedule a TBD meeting.
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON,
THAT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE BRING THE COUNCIL TWO OPTIONS BY THE MAY 4
MEETING SO THAT PLACING A LEVY ON THE AUGUST BALLOT COULD BE DISCUSSED.
THE TWO OPTIONS WOULD INCLUDE A TARGETED OPTION AND A GENERAL
OPERATIONS OPTION.
Councilmember Wilson commented it would be a tight timeline although much of the work had been
done. The Finance Committee would need to meet outside the regular schedule and he anticipated the
process would be to coalesce the data that had previously been prepared and work with Mr. Hines to
update the numbers.
Councilmember Buckshnis suggested each Councilmember have an understanding of the composition of
the forecasts.
Council President Bernheim encouraged Councilmembers to caucus with each other outside Council
meetings and to review the materials presented by the Citizen Levy Review Committee and the two levy
options presented to the Council in 2009, 1) a general operations levy and 2) a modified general with
provision for police, Senior Center, and other social and family services. Although the actual 2009 budget
numbers had yet to be completed, he assumed they would be similar to those presented last year and
clearly the City’s financial situation was dire, originating from the law that caps property tax increases at
1% unless approved by voters. He did not support delaying politically difficult decisions such as a levy
until the Council had absolute confidence in the financials.
Councilmember Plunkett asked what a targeted levy would fund. Councilmember Peterson suggested the
Council caucus and the Finance Committee prepare options. Councilmember Plunkett expressed concern
with the Finance Committee developing a targeted levy without input from the Council regarding what
they wanted to fund via a levy.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented things had changed significantly since last year with the sale of
the Fire Department and 54 fewer employees. She was uncertain a decision regarding a levy could be
made within one month, noting there also had not been input from the public.
Councilmember Wilson noted Councilmember Buckshnis participated as a citizen on the Levy Review
Committee. The Committee formed eight groups and all eight recommended proceeding with a levy. As
part of that process, the Council stated several policy positions including that one of the purposes of a
Packet Page 168 of 265
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

Page 22
levy would be to build up one month of ending cash balance. Another area of primary interest was
technology. He wanted to focus on public safety and parks. Council President Bernheim wanted to focus
on parks. He suggested the Finance Committee start with the Mayor’s option as the general operations
levy and the modified general as the targeted levy. The Finance Committee should determine the length
of time before another levy would be necessary which would dictate the amount of the levy. He recalled
under last year’s scenario a $3.75 million levy would be required to reach 2014; the removal of Fire
Department would reduce that amount. He recognized the Finance Committee may need to meet outside
the regular schedule to meet the May 4 deadline.
Council President Bernheim questioned whether it was possible to get financial documents that reflected
the City’s future cash flow needs without the Fire Department expenses and whether staff would be
available to assist the Finance Committee before May 4. Mayor Haakenson anticipated the Finance
Committee could readily accumulate the information available to the Levy Review Committee and deduct
the Fire Department expenses. Staff could assist if needed.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked when the December 2009 quarterly financials would be available.
Mayor Haakenson answered when it was completed, it would be provided to the Council. He commented
the numbers would be very similar to the proforma provided to the Council dated March 15, 2010.
Councilmember Plunkett expressed concern with the broadness of the targeted levy. He suggested further
information may be necessary from the Council before May 4. Council President Bernheim advised the
topic was on next week’s and the May 4 agenda.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
12. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Ruth Arista, Edmonds, reported 200 people attended the second annual luncheon and Downtown
Edmonds Merchants Fashion Show at the new Yacht Club on April 17 and many of the attendees shopped
in downtown Edmonds after the show. She commended Petra Rousu, Savvy Traveler, and Denise at
Cynderellies Closet, who chaired the event. She echoed Councilmember Wilson’s disappointment that the
Council postponed a levy last year after the Citizen Levy Review Committee recommended a levy. She
was concerned with Council meeting the May deadline for the August ballot and urged Council to work
together. She anticipated citizens would be willing to pay for services and amenities and that a levy could
be successful with the Council’s leadership and community meetings to educate the public regarding the
how the funds would be used and what services would be lost if voters did not approve the levy.
Richard Senderoff, Edmonds, announced via the leadership of Laura Spehar and many others, Edmonds
received its Backyard Wildlife Habitat Certification from the National Wildlife Federation. A celebration
will be held on Saturday at Yost Park from 11:00 – 4:00 coinciding with the Watershed Fun Fest and cake
cutting at 3:00 p.m. He noted the Consent Agenda included a Proclamation in honor of Native Plant
Appreciation Week; as part of that celebration the official opening ceremony for the Willow Creek
Habitat Native Plant Demonstration will occur on Sunday, April 25 from 1:00 - 3:30 with ribbon cutting
at 1:00 and maps to tour local homes with backyard habitats. Edmonds received the Backyard Wildlife
Habitat Certification in less than two years, a short period of time compared to the length of time it has
taken other communities to receive certification.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, reported he attended the Edmonds School District workshop last week where
there was discussion regarding placing a supplementary levy on the August ballot. The consensus at that
meeting was the August ballot was preferable. Next, he reported King County would be making a
decision regarding the Shoreline jail site during the third or fourth quarter this year. He also reported a
citizen group was meeting with Finance Director Lorenzo Hines regarding the City’s finances.

12. PUBLIC COMMENT ON BUDGET CUTS
Due to the late hour, this item was postponed to a future meeting.
13. COUNCIL REVIEW OF LEVY OPTIONS
Councilmember Buckshnis reported Mayor Haakenson and she met last Friday to review several issues
including the levy. Although Councilmember Wilson has expressed support for pulling last year’s levy
off the shelf, she preferred to get the fiscal year end, the fourth quarter 2009 and first quarter 2010 and the
General Fund review and form a small committee to review the information and develop levy scenarios
that may include Yost Pool, the Senior Center, etc. The Finance Committee plans to meet on May 3 at
1:00 p.m. in the City Hall Fourtner Room to review the two scenarios that were presented last year and
present two options which may include the “D.J. option” from last year.
Councilmember Wilson clarified he did not have a levy option on the table. He the levy option considered
last year was $3.75 million; last week he noted a lesser amount would be appropriate. He suggested
having further Council review of levy options at Friday’s special Council meeting.
14. COUNCIL REPORTS ON OUTSIDE COMMITTEE/BOARD MEETINGS
Due to the late hour, this item was postponed to a future meeting.
15. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Haakenson asked whether the Council planned to take any action on an appraisal or Level 1
environmental assessment or if they were delaying it until the meeting on Friday. Councilmember
Plunkett responded he needed until Friday to review the materials. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas was
interested in at least having the appraisal conducted. Councilmember Orvis suggested the Council move
forward with the appraisal if they accepted the bank’s counter offer. Council President Bernheim
suggested the Council defer action on the due diligence contracts until Friday’s Council meeting.
16. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Peterson thanked Mayor Haakenson for attending the Edmonds Center for the Arts’
fundraising event, Center Stage. The event was a great success and despite the economic times, the
ECA’s operations budget looks great, the result of a great staff and great performances. He encouraged
the public to view the schedule of events at EC4arts.org.
Councilmember Buckshnis announced the Town Hall meeting Friday, April 30 at Colonial Pantry Family
Restaurant in Firdale from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. The topic is how citizens envision Edmonds.
Councilmember Wilson provided clarification to the following statements made by Councilmember
Fraley-Monillas in a Guest View column of the April 23 Edmonds Beacon:
Councilmember Wilson was the Council President during the start of our recognized fiscal crisis.
Councilmember Wilson explained he was selected as the Council President January 2009; the
fiscal crisis began in September 2008.
His agenda included hiring a pool consultant for $65,000 to recommend a location for an aquatic
center we couldn’t afford to build while simultaneously cutting funding to seniors and Yost Pool.
Councilmember Wilson explained the Council approved that consultant in April 2008. He
supported the Mayor proposed cuts to Yost Pool in April 2009 and proposed a levy in 2009 to
increase Senior Center funding by approximately $100,000.

Update on Subdivision Regulation Code Re-write Project
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:05/18/2010
Submitted By:Michael Clugston
Submitted For:Michael Clugston Time:20 Minutes
Department:Planning Type:Information
Review Committee:
Committee Action:Recommend Review by Full Council
Information
Subject Title
Update on Subdivision Regulation Code re-write project.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
No action is required.
Previous Council Action
Staff provided a brief update on the progress of the subdivision regulation re-write to the CS/DS
Committee on September 8, 2009 - Exhibit 1.
Narrative
This portion of the code re-write project began in the late summer of 2008 as an analysis of how
the City’s townhouse subdivision policy could be more effectively codified and implemented.
With adoption of the various Council resolutions regarding environmental issues and
sustainability, and the new Community Sustainability Element in the Comprehensive Plan, we
have sought to incorporate some improvements in how planned residential developments (PRDs)
are managed and how the regulations can be updated in order to better incorporate the new low
impact development tools described in the recent stormwater update and the sustainability goals
and policies identified in the Comprehensive Plan.
Three general outcomes are anticipated from this comprehensive re-write:
1) Innovate by including additional flexibility to foster low impact development, distributed
energy, and tree retention while increasing affordable housing options;
2) Balance predictability and flexibility in a subdivision regulation that includes formal and short
plats as well as PRD-type and townhouse design standards for lot creation whether in single or
multifamily zones;
3) Streamline the regulation to make it easier to use and administer.
Staff introduced the topic to the Planning Board on May 12; Exhibit 2 includes the presentation
given at that meeting. The Planning Board directed staff to proceed with trying to integrate PRD
flexibility into the subdivision design standards. While the PRD process does
Packet Page 175 of 265
provide flexibility in lot creation, the process is used infrequently, particularly for the 2- and 3-lot
short plats that we see most often. This is because PRDs require a separate review process
from the subdivision itself and so represent an added expense in time and money for a landowner
who may simply want to split one larger lot into two. By incorporating PRD lot flexibility into
the subdivision regulation itself, this flexibility would simply become a part of doing a
subdivision. Similarly, by incorporating design standards for tree retention, lot orientation, and
the like, all subdividers would have access to the same set of lot creation tools.
Concepts like low impact development and affordable housing will also be reviewed and
incorporated into the regulation as appropriate. From a site planning perspective, engineering
requirements often drive the layout of a subdivision. By using alternative materials and less
impervious surface, subdivision layouts can change accordingly which will help in retaining trees
as well as preserving existing open space and critical areas.
With respect to affordable housing, the townhouse subdivision was one attempt at that. While
results haven't necessarily been as anticipated, the fundamental idea of single family ownership
similar to condominiums is good. The main issue has been the lack of effective design standards.
The Planning Board will look to incorporate new design standards for those projects choosing the
townhouse subdivision process. Access, parking, and open space are three of the more critical
issues to discuss.
Cottage housing will also be reviewed. Like townhouse subdivisions, there are good examples
and bad examples. Well thought out design standards would ensure that a cottage project would
fit within the context of an existing neighborhood while providing a new housing choice for those
who may want to stay in Edmonds but who no longer need a 3,000 square foot house on a 1/2 acre
lot. A key question for cottage will be what zones or areas are most appropriate for that type of
development.
Finally, regardless of location, the residential densities currently listed in the code for
single-family and multi-family zones will stay the same. The Comprehensive Plan does
list density bonus as a possible land use tool to be considered for the provision of affordable
housing, however. The Planning Board may want to review the concept of density bonus and
other incentives (reduced fees, streamlined permit processing, and the like) in order to encourage
certain types of development or other sustainability goals.

Discussion of Styrofoam Ban

Subject Title
Discussion of Styrofoam Ban.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
At the 2010 Council retreat it was agreed to proceed with banning Styrofoam food containers in
Edmonds.
The Public Safety Committee discussed the proposed ordinance for banning Styrofoam from the
City of Edmonds. At the February 5-6, 2010 Council Retreat, the Council had expressed interest in
moving forward with a Styrofoam ban. Ms. Fraley-Monillas was interested in a grandfather clause
in the ordinance that would allow businesses that have Styrofoam products to exhaust their
current supply. Mr. Wilson stated that a one year run-out of Styrofoam products is what he would
like to see in the ordinance. That is similar to what is in the Issaquah and Seattle ordinances, and
in the proposed ordinance written by Mr. Bernheim. Mr. Wilson suggested that the ordinance be
moved directly to the Council for discussion of the effective date of the ordinance. One suggestion
was to have the effective date at signing, but not enforce the ordinance until May 1, 2011,
giving businesses time to deplete their inventory of Styrofoam products. Ms. Fraley-Monillas
discussed the effective date and thought it best to follow the proposed draft ordinance by Mr.
Bernheim. Both Council members felt that businesses needed time to reduce their supply of
Styrofoam products, and one year after signing of the ordinance was sufficient before enforcement
started. Ms. Fraley-Monillas also felt that having a waiver process in the ordinance was
important.
The discussion then moved to the penalty portion of the ordinance. Ms. Fraley-Monillas felt the
fine language in the proposed ordinance was satisfactory at $100 for a first offense and $300 for
any further offenses. Ms. Fraley-Monillas made the point if you have fines in the ordinance and
don’t enforce them, then why have the fines.
Action: Move to full Council for discussion.

contact their representatives and recommend they support the bill. A brief discussion followed regarding other
ways to fund stormwater improvements such as a stormwater surcharge on utility bills and the creation of zones
with increased stormwater mitigation and the ability to reduce the mitigation via green methods such as pervious
surfaces, rain gardens, etc.
B. Implement Sustainable Purchasing Practices (i.e., best value vs. best price contract
language); Green Power Purchase by City
Councilmember Peterson explained sustainable purchasing practice means buying local to reduce transit costs
and supporting local businesses and businesses that are environmentally friendly. He expressed support for
formalizing this practice in the City. Mr. Clifton offered to determine whether the City had a sustainable
purchasing practice.
Council President Bernheim referred to information in the packet regarding Bellingham’s green power
challenge, a government initiated program that encourages the use of less power. Sustainable Edmonds is
pursuing that program. He planned to introduce a proposal for the City to dedicate a token amount to green
power purchase. A brief discussion ensued regarding the Climate Action Plan prepared by the Mayor’s Climate
Protection Committee that will be reviewed by the Planning Board and forwarded to the Council.
C. Green Buildings – Implement LEED Standards for New Construction, Incentivize Green
Remodels, Other code Rewrites
Councilmember Peterson suggested during the current slower building period, the City devote time to revising
its building codes to address this effort.
Council President Bernheim referred to draft LEED standards provided in the packet. Council comments
included the perception that LEED standards and green practices imposed costs on new construction, intangible
benefits of LEED and green buildings, and opportunity for the City to attract developers.
D. Education and Communication; Website, Edmonds Green Logo, Speakers’ Series,
Local/Regional Partners
Councilmember Peterson recommended the City utilize its website and Sustainable Edmonds to educate the
public that green buildings are not prohibitively expensive. He advised the Plastic Bag Subcommittee of the
Mayor’s Climate Protection Committee is working on an Edmonds Green Logo.
E. Car Free Day, Parking Space Decommissioning, Electric Car Rally, Unlicense Day
Council President Bernheim remarked parking spaces were more economically valuable as pedestrian spaces
versus parking spaces. He provided examples of assigning individual or multiple parking spaces downtown to
different groups for a day/weekend and allowing them to transform the spaces into pedestrian amenities.
Councilmembers commented on Parking Day on Friday, September 17, lack of bike racks downtown, and
working with the Cascade Bicycle Club and/or Edmonds Bike Club to site an artistic bike rack downtown.
F. Styrofoam Ban
Councilmember Peterson advised Seattle passed a Styrofoam ban last year. He suggested Edmonds institute a
similar ban with enforcement similar to the plastic bag ban. He suggested this be adopted as one of five action
items. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas advised Seattle restaurants found the cost of biodegradable containers
was similar and they worked well. Councilmember Peterson commented restaurants also now have the ability to
compost food waste.

G. Lighting Code/Dark Skies
Council President Bernheim commented on wasted light in the City at night, pointing out the intent was
situation appropriate lighting and avoiding lighting that is more than necessary. He suggested requiring new
development to utilize low level sidewalks lights. Councilmember Peterson pointed out the 4th Avenue Arts
Corridor includes low level lighting.
H. Tree Ordinance, Tree City, Public Tree/Private Tree Preservation, Pedestrian Safety,
Keep Healthy Trees, Address Real Dangers, Promote Green Reputation; Review Tree
Plan
In an effort to preserve/expand the City’s urban forest Councilmember Peterson suggested the City consider
what it can do to plant and encourage residents to plant the right tree in the right place. One of the Mayor’s
Climate Protection Committee’s priorities will be consideration of a tree protection ordinance.
Discussion followed regarding whether eliminating Styrofoam use should be done via an incentive or ban,
providing restaurants a time period to eliminate use of Styrofoam, utilizing Seattle’s Styrofoam ban ordinance as
a model, having the City make a modest green power purchase such as $1000/year or 1% of City’s electric bill,
organizing a car free day, organizing an annual park clean up day, considering the use of pervious surfaces for
street overlays versus asphalt, installing fiber optics in new development downtown, installing fiber optic
conduit at the time overlays are done, organizing an electric car rally, and plans to reanalyze opportunities for
fiber optics.
Councilmember Peterson offered to obtain Seattle’s ordinance banning Styrofoam for review by Mr. Snyder.
Council President Bernheim suggested scheduling an agenda item for the Council to identify action items.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas left the retreat at 11:45 a.m.
Discussion continued regarding a Styrofoam ban, a community park clean up date, renting parking spaces as a
fundraiser on Parking Day, reviewing the tree ordinance, public concern with Council and staff time and costs
associated with these issues, watershed issues related to urban streams, timing of a general levy, and financing a
design for Yost Pool before a bond measure is proposed.
Councilmember Wilson left the retreat at 12:00 p.m.
Topic 4: Planning Issues
A. Title 20: Possible Revisions
Council President Bernheim advised this had been addressed at a previous Council meeting.
B. Civic Playfield Negotiations
Councilmember Plunkett suggested the Long Range Taskforce identify potential expenditures in the next 10-15
years to help Council understand long range issues. For example, the lease on the civil playfields expires in 10
years; there may be opportunity to purchase the property.
C. Roof Design Zoning Ordinance Revisions
Council President Bernheim commented the ordinance is unsatisfactory as buildings continue to be constructed
that violate the language. He planned to work with Mr. Chave on revised code language and to consult the
development community regarding any proposed revisions.

D. Long Range Task Force Future
Council President Bernheim encouraged the Long Range Task Force to meet and discuss items suggested in B
above.
Councilmember Peterson referred to information he distributed regarding Climate Solutions new energy cities.
Climate Solutions is similar in structure to Cascade Land Conservancy, with a certain number of consulting
hours for a fee. Their goal is to create climate solution cities, help cities create environmental plans as well as
help cities identify funds. He planned to meet with Climate Solutions next week and offered to provide more
information to the Council.
Topic 6: Revitalization of Senior Center/Future Planning
Rose Cantwell, President, South County Senior Center Board, explained over the past year 170+ volunteers
donated 32,054 hours. If they were paid $9/hour, the cost would be $288,576. The amount of volunteer time
has been consistent over the past 5 years – a total of $1.4 million over five years. She considered the volunteer
hours a gift to the City and the taxpayers and hoped to partner with the City on plans for the site’s future.
Kathy McNulty, South County Senior Center VP Board of Directors and Chair of the Strategic Planning
Committee, described two new members who chose to retire in Edmonds after learning about the programs
offered by the South County Senior Center. She referred to the City’s interest in promoting tourism and
attracting visitors, pointing out the Senior Center could be one of the attractions. She described programs that
could be offered that would attract younger members and commented on the need to revitalize the public’s
image of Senior Center, the location of the Center at the hub of many transportation modes, opportunity for the
Center to be a partner in the development of downtown/waterfront, services offered by the Center in addition to
recreation programs, and the Center’s access to funding sources not available to the City.
She expressed the Center’s desire to develop a partnership with the City, community groups and the business
community; to increase the number of people they serve; to institute innovative programs; and to be financially
sound. However, the condition of the building and the Center’s future on this site impedes those efforts. In
order to partner with the City on capital grants and to run a capital campaign, the Center needs a commitment
from the City that it supports the Center’s continued use of the site. She requested the Council reaffirm the
resolution passed in 1977 regarding the Center’s use of the site. She clarified the Senior Center wants to retain
use of the site; the resolution specifies the current address of the Center.
Council suggestions included seeking input from administration and staff regarding the resolution, scheduling
consideration of the resolution on a future agenda, and partnering with the Center to develop a vision for the
site.
Closing Remarks
Councilmembers thanked staff and Council President Bernheim.
Council President Bernheim thanked the South County Senior Center for hosting the Council retreat.
The retreat was adjourned at 12:27 p.m.

requirements in this chapter by filing a written request with the City Administrator
or designee. The food service business seeking the waiver must show that the
application of this chapter would create an undue hardship or practical difficulty
based on the factors set forth in subsection F of this section. The City
Administrator or designee may waive any specific requirement of this chapter for
a period of time extending no later than May 1, 2011. The City Administrator or
designee’s decision to grant or deny a waiver, in whole or in part, shall be mailed
to the applicant in writing, with a statement of the permitted waiver length, and
shall be a final nonappealable decision.
E. Prior to May 1, 2011, only the following items are exempt from the
requirements of IMC 8.07.020 through 8.07.050: containers and lids specifically
designed and used for hot liquid-based food and beverages, utensils (knives,

any food service business. Prior to May 1, 2011, public educational institutions
are also exempt from the requirements of IMC 8.07.020 through 8.07.050.
F. The following factors should be considered by the City Administrator or

requirements of this chapter, as described in subsection D of this section: (1) the
food service business seeking a waiver lacks the financial or other means to be
in compliance with this chapter within a reasonable period of time; (2) the food
service business seeking the waiver demonstrates, through due diligence, that
particular products conforming to the requirements of this chapter are
unavailable, pose recognized safety hazards, or will result in substantial financial
harm; (3) the food service business seeking the waiver has maintained a
Packet Page 207 of 265
business in Issaquah for less than one year. The factors listed herein are
significant, but not intended to be the only considerations for the grant or denial
of a waiver. The City Administrator or designee should make a decision
concerning a request for waiver based on the preference of assisting a food
service business to achieve compliance with this chapter while balancing the
economic vitality of the business and striving to reduce any financially detrimental
impacts on the applicant.
G. On May 1, 2011, all waivers and exemptions from the requirements of this
chapter will terminate and become invalid; and all provisions of this chapter will
be subject to implementation and enforcement. (Ord. 2565 § 1, 2009).

Disposable Shopping Bags and Green Fee FAQs
What are Mayor Greg Nickels and City Council President Richard Conlin
proposing?
Mayor Greg Nickels and City Council President Richard Conlin are proposing a 20 cent
green fee on all disposable shopping bags provided to customers at grocery, drug and
convenience stores. The purpose of the green fee is to discourage the use of disposable
bags of any type and encourage shoppers to use reusable bags.
Nickels and Conlin are also proposing a ban on the use of expanded polystyrene (EPS)
containers in restaurants, fast food outlets, coffee shops and all other food service
establishments. This includes some of the packaging used at grocery stores such as meat
trays and egg cartons.
In addition, because there are a number of different kinds of plastics and plastic-coated
paper products used for disposable food service ware — “clamshells,” plates, cups,
utensils and so forth — they are proposing a deadline two years away by which all such

Green Fees/Foam Ban Frequently Asked Questions June 18, 2008
These are not either-or issues. There are lots of ways to cut greenhouse gas emissions and
the green fee on disposable shopping bags is one of them. Each alternative, such as
carbon taxes on fuel consumption, for example, need to be examined on its merits by
government at the appropriate level. Seattle regulates and handles solid waste and can set
an example in that area.
How much will the green fee cost a typical Seattle resident?
Possibly nothing if all the family members regularly take reusable bags with them when
they go shopping. In reality, some of the time people will forget and they’ll pay a small
amount. If a family’s bag use drops from several hundred now to a few dozen next year
when the green fee is in effect, it might be $10.
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Foam Food Container Ban FAQs
Why ban so-called “Styrofoam” containers and cups? Aren’t other plastics just as
bad?
Along with expanded polystyrene (EPS), all the other disposable plastic and plastic-
coated paper products in fast food and take-out use have various negative impacts on the
environment. None stand out as particularly better or worse than others, except that EPS
has proven to be an exceptional problem in litter and particularly marine litter. That’s
why a ban is the right way to deal with EPS now.
The superiority of compostable and truly recyclable plastic products to the disposable
plastic and plastic-coated paper products currently in use is why Nickels and Conlin have
set a date two years from now for all food service outlets to switch to compostable and
recyclable containers, plates, hot and cold beverage cups and utensils.
Why not also ban EPS foam packaging? Don’t those “Styrofoam peanuts” end up as
litter, too?
The Mayor and City Council in Resolution 30990 asked Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) to
look first at disposable shopping bags and EPS food service items. Now that that’s done,
SPU is studying EPS packaging and a number of other un-recycled, under-recycled and
hard-to-recycle materials to see what kinds of policies might decrease their use and/or
increase recycling.
Have any other jurisdictions banned EPS foam food containers. How is it working?

Packet Page 216 of 265
Green Fees/Foam Ban Frequently Asked Questions June 18, 2008
Portland, Oregon, was among the first to ban EPS foam food containers a decade ago.
McDonald’s sued the city and lost and that in part that led to the burger chain’s switch to
a cardboard container (though sometimes plastic coated), a pretty impressive result for
municipal government action. More recently, a number of California cities and counties
including San Francisco and Santa Monica have banned EPS in food service and are
promoting compostable or recyclable alternatives.
Aren’t the alternatives to EPS foam containers just as bad for the environment?
Switching from EPS to other disposable plastics can be just as bad and sometimes worse
in environmental impact. That’s why Nickels’ and Conlin’s plan takes a second step and
mandates that restaurants find compostable and recyclable alternatives to food service
disposable plastic and plastic-coated paper products by July 1, 2010.
Why does the City want to force this change?
There is a long-term environmental goal underlying this policy. Plastic — all kinds of
plastics — are persistent in the environment. All the plastic ever made is still around —
in landfills, in ocean debris, on beaches, scattered across the land, and in the case of
plastic bags, stuck in the trees and against fences. Natural forces such as ultraviolet light
may break down plastics into smaller and smaller — but still plastic — particles. As this
happens and particularly in the ocean, plastic objects and particles are consumed by
animals up and down the food chain. Most notably, this kills birds. In some areas of the
ocean, floating plastic outnumbers plankton six to one. Because of plastic’s long term
persistence in the environment and its effects, we should minimize the production of
plastic and maximize recycling of what is produced. And, of course, that also cuts down
greenhouse gas production and the amount of material that has to be landfilled.
Are there compostable and recyclable alternatives to EPS foam and the other
disposable plastics used in food service?
Because more and more jurisdictions here on the West Coast and worldwide are adopting
policies to discourage throwaway plastic and plastic-coated paper products in the food
service industry, manufacturers and suppliers are responding with new products including
compostable plastics made from vegetable sources such as corn starch and sugar cane
and, increasingly, from non-food fiber crops and byproducts.
These products are currently being developed and tested by the market for how well they
do their job in the restaurant and for compostability after use. Change is coming fast so
over the next two years there will be a variety of new products for restaurants and coffee
shops, delis and so forth to choose from.
How will the City enforce the EPS ban and the green fee on bags?

A. Styrofoam Ban
The Committee discussed the proposed ordinance for banning Styrofoam from
the City of Edmonds. At the February 5-6, 2010 Council Retreat, the Council had
expressed interest in moving forward with a Styrofoam ban.
Ms. Fraley-Monillas was interested in a grandfather clause in the ordinance that
would allow businesses that have Styrofoam products to exhaust their current
supply. Mr. Wilson stated that a one year run-out of Styrofoam products is what
he would like to see in the ordinance. That is similar to what is in the Issaquah
and Seattle ordinances, and in the proposed ordinance written by Mr. Bernheim.
Mr. Wilson suggested that the ordinance be moved directly to the Council for
discussion of the effective date of the ordinance. One suggestion was to have
the effective date at signing, but not enforce the ordinance until May 1, 2011,
giving businesses time to deplete their inventory of Styrofoam products.
Ms. Fraley-Monillas discussed the effective date and thought it best to follow the
proposed draft ordinance by Mr. Bernheim. Both Council members felt that
businesses needed time to reduce their supply of Styrofoam products, and one
year after signing of the ordinance was sufficient before enforcement started.
Ms. Fraley-Monillas also felt that having a waiver process in the ordinance was
important.

The discussion then moved to the penalty portion of the ordinance. Ms. Fraley-
Monillas felt the fine language in the proposed ordinance was satisfactory at
$100 for a first offense and $300 for any further offenses. Ms. Fraley-Monillas
made the point if you have fines in the ordinance and don’t enforce them, then
why have the fines.
Action: Move to full Council for discussion.
B. Contract with Orchid Cellmark for Touch DNA Testing.
ACOP Gannon discussed the reason for the request and how the Police
Department will use Orchid Cellmark to help identify suspects in property crimes.
The testing process used by Orchid Cellmark is sensitive enough to detect DNA
left at a crime scene on items touched by a suspect. The Washington State
Patrol Crime Laboratory has approved the scientific testing process that Orchid
Cellmark uses to enter DNA data into the national data base (CODIS).
The cost of the testing is based on the number of samples submitted by the
Department. There is no charge if samples are not submitted to Orchid
Cellmark. ACOP Gannon was asked what the State Crime Laboratory charges
for DNA testing. He responded there is no cost for samples submitted to the
State Crime Lab, but because of its backlog of cases, the State Crime Lab will
process few DNA samples for property crimes and the turnaround time can be
lengthy.
With no other discussion on the subject, ACOP Gannon asked that the contract
be approved for the next consent agenda. He also advised that the contract had
been reviewed and approved as to form by the city attorney. Mr. Wilson and Ms.
Fraley-Monillas approved the request to go to the consent agenda.
Action: Forward to City Council Consent Agenda with a recommendation to
approve.
C. Amendment of EMC 5.05, Animal Control
ACOP Gannon explained the proposed changes to EMC 5.05.121 and 5.05.123
(Potentially Dangerous Dog) to provide for an appeal process should a dog be
declared potentially dangerous. While this declaration is tantamount to a
warning, recent court decisions support a provision for appeal in the interest of
due process. This action is consistent with those taken in and by neighboring
jurisdictions. The amended ordinance was prepared by the City Attorney.
Mr. Wilson and Ms. Fraley-Monillas were further advised that the amended
ordinance had been reviewed and approved as to form by the city attorney.
Packet Page 219 of 265

ACOP Gannon asked that the amended ordinance be placed on the consent
agenda for approval by the full Council. Mr. Wilson and Ms. Fraley-Monillas
approved the request to place this item on the consent agenda.
Action: Forward to City Council Consent Agenda with a recommendation to
approve.
D. Edmonds Night Out Supplemental Appropriation
ACOP Gannon reviewed the history of Edmonds Night Out, which had been
sponsored by local Edmonds businesses, and organized by the Police
Foundation. He explained that when the Crime Prevention program was cut from
the Police Department 2009-2010 budget, the funds for Night Out were also cut.
Edmonds Night Out was not held in 2009.
He explained that the Police Department supports the Night Out, and is asking
for a $3500 appropriation from Council Contingency or other designated General
Fund source to cover the costs of an Edmonds Night Out event in 2010.
The city has traditionally supported Edmonds Night Out by providing a limited
number of police officers to assist with event logistics. Some of that assistance
involved limited overtime (est. $1500) since there are insufficient regular on-duty
staff to attend Night Out, as well as to be available for 911 calls. The Police
Department had also included as part of its previous annual budgets a $2000
appropriation specifically for defraying some of the Police Foundation's hard
costs for the event.
If authorized by the Council, $2,000 of the appropriation would be used to defray
some of the Police Foundation’s costs for the event. The remaining $1500 would
fund police officer overtime. Mr. Wilson felt the funding should come from
reserve funds (ending balance from the 2009 budget).
Both Ms. Fraley-Monillas and Mr. Wilson approved this agenda item for the
consent agenda at the next Council Meeting.
Action: Forward to City Council Consent Agenda with a recommendation to
approve.
The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.

Narrative
Climate Solutions’ New Energy Cities program will help Edmonds channel investment into clean,
renewable, super-efficient energy systems that generate local jobs and economic development.
Key features on the New Energy Cities model include:
• A 20-year vision and policy framework for community-wide energy transformation.
• An integrated approach of deep building efficiency retrofits, distributed renewable power, and
new energy infrastructure (smart grid, vehicle electrification, and district heating/cooling).
• Implementation strategies that overcome barriers to participation and that operate at scale.
• Financing energy systems the same way cities finance traditional infrastructure – long-term at
modest interest rates – bringing both public and private patient capital into play.
• Authentic community engagement to bolster local policy leadership.
• Local capacity-building and job training to maximize long-term community benefits.
By deciding to work with Climate Solutions' New Energy Cities program, the City of Edmonds
would be joining a select group of innovative Northwest cities that are dedicating their resources
to creating a better life for their residents through deploying clean energy solutions. Joining the
New Energy Cities program will give the City of Edmonds exclusive access to the community of

3. CLIMATE SOLUTIONS PRESENTATION.
Councilmember Peterson explained he was introduced to Climate Solutions when they made a
presentation at a Sustainable Edmonds meeting. Climate Solutions has worked with cities throughout the
Northwest via the creation of New Energy Cities. This is an opportunity for the Council and the
community to learn about clean energy, green building design, and other environmental efforts.
Eilene Quigley, Climate Solutions, New Energy Cities Program Director, explained Climate
Solutions is a northwest-based non-profit organization created over ten years ago with a mission of
accelerating practical and profitable solutions to global warming. Climate Solutions launched the New
Energy Cities program in 2009 to help pioneering northwest cities and counties lead the nation in an
economic strategy that creates jobs, saves money on energy, contributes to the nation’s energy
independence and furthers a robust, clean energy economy. New Energy Cities is about transforming the
way energy is delivered and used at the local level. Their systemic, non-incremental approach asks
communities to take charge of their energy destiny and think holistically about its energy consumption
and transition to a clean, renewable, super efficient energy system.
Climate Solutions works with elected leaders, the local business community, local non-profit
organizations, universities, community colleges and local utilities. They ask these key stakeholders to
invest in a 20-year vision that will achieve deep energy efficiency, deploy distributive renewable energy
and smart grid technology, pave the way for electric vehicles, incorporate a district energy approach and
secure capital, both public and private, that will finance these efforts over a 20-30 year period. She asked
Packet Page 223 of 265
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 2, 2010
Page 3
city leaders to think of energy in the same way they do roads, sewer and water and other amenities that
local jurisdictions provide to residents. Climate Solutions works with city leaders to craft a vision,
roadmap, action plan, financing model and implementation strategy.
Climate Solutions is seeking 6-10 pioneering cities throughout the four northwest states with a diverse set
of characteristics that will provide examples for similar cities and counties to emulate. She anticipated
success among the early innovators would translate into expansion to numerous cities through the
Northwest and potentially the United States. While they believe in the positive environmental benefits
that the clean energy economy will bring, they are equally excited about the potential for long term
economic development throughout the region and the country.
In 2008 Climate Solutions issued a report, “Carbon Free Prosperity,” that identified the case for how the
Northwest can create 41,000 – 63,000 direct jobs by 2025 in only 5 of the clean energy sectors. They are
also interested in supporting and growing a base of skilled workers and creating jobs that will last for at
least 20 years. As a non-profit organization, Climate Solutions raises money from foundations to support
their program which in turn enables them to offer their services at significantly discounted rates. For
example, they offer their workshop and road mapping exercise as well as their action plan for $15,000
when the actual cost of the hours spent is approximately $33,000.
The co-founder of Climate Solutions, Rhys Roth, and she met with a group of Edmonds citizens
assembled by Sustainable Edmonds to address efforts underway in the Puget Sound area to address
climate change. They are impressed with Edmonds citizens’ efforts to date with regard to sustainability.
Councilmember Peterson asked what other cities Climate Solutions has worked with. Ms. Quigley
explained the first city was Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Jackson wants to be the first destination resort in
the country to have at least an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the next 20 years. Jackson
has completed the workshop, action plan, and road mapping. Climate Solutions is working on financing,
and Jackson has already selected their first three pilot projects. They plan to begin with deep energy
efficiency and are considering wind, solar and other applications. Jackson created a tri-party council
between the City of Jackson Hole, Teton County and Lower Valley Energy and a 7-member steering
committee with membership from each agency that oversees the work of three taskforces.
Climate Solutions is also working with Spokane; Albany, Oregon; and Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater in
Thurston County. Albany has suffered during recent resource booms/busts; metal producers have
expressed interest in using their plant for energy generation; berry producers are interested in converting
their waste stream to energy; and Target’s distribution center is interested in using their flat roof for solar.
Albany also has a historic district where energy efficiency efforts are complex. A pulp mill in Albany
recently closed; consideration is being given to making that plant a co-generation plant. Thurston County
received approximately $1.5 million in a combination of Energy and Efficiency Community Development
Block Grant money from the Department of Energy and other competitive funds. They have identified an
energy efficiency project, hired a coordinator and formed the Thurston County Climate Action Team.
She explained applying for DOE grants requires very specific project plans; because Thurston has done
that exercise, they have a clear, critical path over the next 18 months. Climate Solutions will soon publish
a Financing Clean Energy white paper which she offered to provide to Edmonds when it was complete.
Councilmember Wilson commented the Council was interested in adopting sustainability policies that are
practical, impactful and progressive. The Council adopted a Sustainability Agenda last year. He asked
how a suburban, residential community such as Edmonds could take a leadership role. For example
Edmonds has fiber optic cable but does not yet have a plan for implementing that asset in a commercially
viable manner. Ms. Quigley agreed energy efficiency can be more challenging in residential areas than in
commercial. In the communities were pilot projects have been done in residential areas, they have found
that as soon as residents learn their neighbors are involved, they also want to be involved. They typically
Packet Page 224 of 265
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 2, 2010
Page 4
take a district-wide approach, an area of a community that is willing and interested and help with
identifying financing to make the retrofit a good economic investment for a homeowner. With regard to
fiber optics, she explained Climate Solutions would conduct an analysis of the community assets and the
workshop would address tying those assets to their vision and identifying options. She explained they do
not tell cities what to do; they facilitate the city creating a vision. They are seeking communities with a
diverse set of characteristics to provide examples for other cities. A community without industrial assets
that is primarily residential is very attractive to Climate Solutions.
Councilmember Wilson referred to Climate Solutions’ efforts to identify funding for Jackson Hole, noting
deploying fiber optics into commercial and residential areas was a matter of finances. Ms. Quigley
explained the Jackson Hole/Teton County area has 30,000-40,000 residents and 100,000-150,000 visitors
and their primary revenue source is sales tax. Financing in Jackson Hole was anticipated to be $5 million
from the government, $5 million via a special purpose excise tax and $2-3 million raised in the
community. She noted Jackson Hole was somewhat of an anomaly; most of the other communities would
not raise money from its citizens, they would ask citizens to invest in a program and gain the benefit of
improvements over time. She noted there were a wide variety of models for financing energy efficiency
including property taxes via a loan for financing, on-bill (utility) financing, and solar project financing.
Councilmember Buckshnis inquired about tidal power. Ms. Quigley answered they are having
discussions with Lincoln City, Oregon and other coastal cities. Tidal power is experimental at this point;
their focus in the initial stages of the program particularly in non-coastal cities is energy efficiency and
then adding solar as a renewable energy source. Their work plan includes studying tidal power and its
applicability in the Northwest. She noted turbines in the Spokane River have been discussed. She
provided further documentation regarding Climate Solutions to City Clerk Sandy Chase.
Councilmember Peterson urged the Council to consider becoming a New Energy City, noting there was
likely to be competition from other cities after the White Paper is published and Climate Solutions begins
more aggressively marketing the program. He suggested adding Climate Solutions to the March
Community Services/Development Services Committee meeting.
Councilmember Plunkett asked the cost and what services would be provided. Councilmember Peterson
responded it was similar to Cascade Land Conservancy; for $15,000 Climate Solutions would develop a
program. Ms. Quigley explained if Edmonds was interested, she would write a proposal for the Council’s
consideration. The proposal would outline the deliverables, scope of work, costs, hours, how hours are
spent, examples of what they have done, etc. She noted the materials she provided include frequently
asked questions and an outline of the workshop.
Mayor Haakenson concluded further discussion would occur at the March 9 Community
Services/Development Services Committee meeting and then return to the Council for further
consideration.
4. REPORT OF COMMUNITY SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS
Councilmember Plunkett explained at the retreat, the Council agreed to again allow community service
announcements at the beginning of Council meetings. Non-profit organizations that meet the standards
for using public microphones (standards available from Community Services/Economic Development
Director Stephen Clifton), may contact Senior Executive Council Assistant Jana Spellman to schedule a 5
minute presentation on a future agenda.
Councilmember Wilson invited the Edmonds Public School Foundation to make a presentation.

E. Further discussion with Climate Solutions.
(This item was moved to the beginning of the agenda to enable the presenter to meet another
appointment) Eileen Quigley, representing Climate Solutions, reviewed her organization’s purpose
and indicated that the next step for Climate Solutions would be to develop a proposal for the city to
formally consider. This would be done if the city believes that there is an interest in pursuing this
collaboration. The Committee indicated that they believe the Council is interested; Ms. Quigley
indicated that Climate Solutions would proceed to develop a proposal for city consideration.
ACTION: The Committee indicated that the city is interested in exploring a potential partnership
with Climate Solutions, and that Climate Solutions should proceed to the next step of preparing a
formal proposal for further Council consideration.
A. Discussion on proposed amendments to Edmonds Community Development Code Title
18.
The City Attorney reviewed the proposed amendments to the Title 18 Appeal Provisions and
answered questions raised by the Council Members. Council Member Orvis recommended raising
the charge from $1.00 per month to $20.00 per month for unlawful utility connections under Section
18.10.030. Council Member Peterson concurred with the recommendation. The Committee also
discussed the current penalties provided in Section 18.45.070 for illegal tree cutting. The current
fine, established some years back, is $1,000 per day or $500 per tree, with that amount tripling to
$3,000 per day and $1,500 per tree for clearing in a critical area or critical area buffer. Given recent
discussions with Council regarding the value of trees and the City’s experience in the Point Wells
Development, staff suggested that the appropriate penalty for illegal clearing be considered when
the City Council reviews tree issues on an upcoming agenda.
ACTION: The CS/DS committee recommended this item be placed on an upcoming Council
meeting for consideration and approval.
B. Review of transportation capital project funding options.
In 2009, the Transportation Plan identified many different transportation improvement projects over
the next 16 years such as Walkway, Bikeway, Concurrency, and Operations and Maintenance
projects. The total cost of all these projects was $105M, with a $64M shortfall. Mr. Bertrand Hauss
(Transportation Engineer) discussed the option of increasing Transportation Benefit District (TBD)

Climate Solutions New Energy Cities Proposal
Workshop, Roadmap, and Action Plan
Edmonds, WA
Introduction
Climate Solutions, a Northwest‐based nonprofit organization whose mission is to accelerate
practical and profitable solutions to global warming, launched the New Energy Cities program in
2009 to help pioneering Northwest cities and counties lead the nation in an economic strategy
that creates jobs, saves money on energy, and contributes to our nation’s energy independence,
while furthering a robust, clean energy economy.
Climate Solutions New Energy Cities Proposal Page ‐ 3 ‐
The New Energy Cities program works with
innovative city and county leaders that wish to be
early adopters of the integrated clean energy
system to create local jobs, reduce vulnerability to
energy price swings, and leverage public
investment with large‐scale private investment.
We ask the cities and counties we work with to
think about a 20‐year strategy that can be
financed with patient capital. Our goal is to create
model strategies with the leadership of the pioneering communities we work with that will
translate into similar success elsewhere in the Northwest region and the country.
New Energy Cities aims to accelerate
the transition to a clean, renewable,
super‐efficient energy system with a
comprehensive systems approach that
integrates smart power grids; green
intelligent buildings; plug‐in electric
vehicles and energy storage, and
renewable power sources, such as
wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass.
New Energy Cities Program
The New Energy Cities program offers the following services:
A day and a half Workshop that produces a Roadmap and an Action Plan
Implementation Planning
Clean Energy Project Finance Consulting
Communications/Public Outreach Planning
Ongoing Consultation
Workshop
The New Energy Cities Workshop is designed to create a meaningful strategy for action for local
communities based on a 20‐year vision to capture substantial economic benefits from the clean
energy economy while dramatically reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence upon
fossil fuels.
Packet Page 229 of 265
Climate Solutions New Energy Cities Proposal Page ‐ 4 ‐
New Energy Cities Workshops are geared toward key city and/or county decision‐makers—
elected officials, utility representatives, city managers, finance directors, top staff, influential
local business, and nonprofit leaders.
New Energy Cities experts conduct a day and one‐half Workshop during which they provide an
intensive review of local energy systems; instruct participants about new ways to use, create, and
distribute energy; build capacity among local leaders to adopt a new energy approach; and
develop a common strategic focus around which to embrace the clean energy economy.
The Workshop format is presentational as well as interactive, focusing on five essential modules
of an integrated energy system:
Buildings and Efficiency
Clean, Distributed Energy Production
Next‐Generation Infrastructure, including Smart Grid and Electrical Vehicles
Financing Strategy and Tools
Leadership and Capacity‐Building
The Workshop includes a visual mapping exercise to translate the stakeholders’ emerging vision
and collective knowledge into a Roadmap for community’s new energy system. This Roadmap is
the basis for developing a three‐year Action Plan for the community, which is the final outcome
of the Workshop.
Action Plan
The Action Plan is crafted to provide a community with three years of actions that will put it on
the path to achieve its 20‐year objectives and in this respect represents a tool for communities
that can sometimes get mired in incremental processes. It distills the concepts and community
input from the Workshop into a Roadmap for action—mapping the key steps to take in the first
three‐six months, the next six‐12 months, and the subsequent 18‐36 months.
The Action Plan recommends program structure, policy, capacity‐building, community
engagement, and finance strategies based on an understanding of what is needed in all local
jurisdictions, but tailored to the local context.
The core purpose of the Action Plan is to affirm the community’s ability to achieve the goal of
long‐term transition to a clean energy system that drives economic development, upgrades local
infrastructure, attracts large‐scale private investment, and attains independence from non‐
renewable, extractive, and polluting energy sources.
Implementation Plan
Implementation of an Action Plan requires a community to be strategic and committed to the
transformation of its energy systems. Once a community has gone through the process of
developing its Action Plan, Climate Solutions works closely with community leaders and key staff
to design an Implementation Plan, identifying short‐term resource needs and sources, facilitating
Packet Page 230 of 265
Climate Solutions New Energy Cities Proposal Page ‐ 5 ‐
rapid development of pilot projects at scale, creating needed governance structures, and
supporting an intensive engagement of the broader community.
Financing Plan
Success in the New Energy Cities program is based on tying the components of the Action Plan to
appropriate financing tools. Climate Solutions provides the expertise to create the financing tools
essential for the scope and scale of work and helps communities think and operate with an
investor orientation.
We identify the critical elements of policy and institutional structure necessary to leverage the
investment capital available to finance improvements in building performance, infrastructure,
and clean, distributed energy producing technologies. The Financing Plan emphasizes the role
that scale and risk management play in enabling private investment capital to fund clean energy
projects.
Ongoing Consultation
While the Action Plan and associated implementation and financing support are critical to the
New Energy Cities program, we also understand that every community needs help building their
own capacity to carry forward over the next 20 years. Our role can include ongoing direct support
to key staff and leadership as they build their own expertise, confidence, and track record of
success.

Rhys Roth
Rhys is the co‐founder of Climate Solutions, a 10 year old non‐profit group accelerating practical,
profitable solutions to global warming. Denis Hayes, founder of Earth Day, says, “Climate
Solutions just might be the finest regional climate group in the world.”
Rhys pioneered Climate Solutions’ innovative clean energy programs and partnerships, renowned
for bridging the political and cultural divides which have constrained environmental progress in
America. These programs have been instrumental in positioning clean energy at the top of the
economic development agenda for leading elected officials throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Rhys developed Climate Solutions’ Harvesting Clean Energy program to bridge the divide
between clean energy advocates and agriculture and rural communities. This program brings
together a remarkable array of groups across the ideological spectrum to advance a simple
shared goal: rural economic development through clean energy in the Northwest. Rhys has since
helped replicate this groundbreaking model in other regions of the country.
Rhys also led Climate Solutions’ program to engage the Northwest high‐tech community in
building a world‐class “clean tech” industry. He coordinated the Poised for Profit partnership of
top economic development, technology and energy agencies to design strategies to create
thousands of clean energy jobs in the region. He also created Business Leaders for Climate
Solutions, a vehicle for executives to make the job creation and business case to policymakers for
adopting a strong clean energy and climate policy framework.
Rhys received his Masters Degree in Environmental Studies in 1990 from The Evergreen State
College in Olympia, Washington.

New Energy Cities
Creating jobs, growing the local economy, cleaning up our air and water, and achieving energy independence –
these are among the significant challenges that forward-looking community leaders must wrestle with in these
intensely challenging economic times.
Climate Solutions has a clear vision and a practical roadmap to aid pioneering local civic and elected leaders
in embracing their cities to the clean energy economy that will power America in the future and create jobs to
combat the worst economic downturn in decades.
New Energy Cities aims to accelerate the transition to a clean, renewable, super-efficient energy system with a
comprehensive systems approach that integrates:
The program leverages Federal stimulus dollars and private investment to help leading-edge cities
in the transformation to a clean, efficient 21st century energy system.
In the future, we will live and work in smart, super-efficient green buildings, powered
by clean, renewable energy and linked by a power grid that optimizes energy flows to
match supply and demand at lightning speeds. Our vehicles will draw from and feed
the grid – running mostly on electricity instead of gasoline, and when parked and
plugged in, they will offer the grid valuable battery storage capacity.
Pioneering cities will lead the country in making the transformation to this
clean-energy future. The New Energy Cities project focuses on the Northwest cities
that are best positioned and most prepared to provide ground breaking leadership to
fundamentally transform the way we power our communities.
The Vision — Pioneering Cities Lead the Way
Cities at the forefront will train and mobilize brigades of new energy workers, providing a vibrant market for
innovative local energy companies. The best of these companies will grow into powerhouses, exporting green
energy solutions around the world. Meanwhile, local businesses and residents will spend less money buying
imported energy and more of that money will stay local, multiplying the economic benefits.
Smart power grids
Green intelligent buildings
Plug-in electric vehicles and energy storage
Renewable power sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass.

Cities that partner with Climate Solutions to develop a New Energy City blueprint customized to their specific
economic situations will receive the following benefits:
Building from the lessons of 30 years of experience with energy retrofit programs, New Energy Cities will develop
models that yield both significant economic benefits and deep carbon emissions reduction by:
The Roadmap
Accelerating the pace and breadth of building efficiency retrofits to systematically reach buildings of all types,
capturing not just the lowest hanging fruit, but also the bigger, long-term investments that deliver much greater
energy efficiencies.
Coordinating retrofit programs with the district- and city-scale deployment of a complementary energy infra-
structure that uses clean distributed energy production, smart grid, district energy systems for heating/cooling,
and electric vehicle charging networks.
Fitting district-scale projects today into a 20-year, comprehensive program of sufficient scale to attract new pools
of investment capital – patient capital, both public and private, that seeks modest but reliable returns
We find ourselves at a moment in time where several factors are aligned: communities need new jobs; there’s
agreement that climate change economy has matured; and the Federal government has stepped up with signifi-
cant investment in energy efficiency to build a clean energy future.
Over the past 10 years, Climate Solutions has emerged as one of the most effective nonprofit organizations in
the nation. With a proven track record of providing practical and profitable solutions that galvanize leadership
to address climate change, grow investment, and offer sustainable prosperity to the Northwest and the world,
Climate Solutions is uniquely qualified to lead the New Energy Cities movement in this region.

New Energy Cities Frequently Asked Questions
What is the New Energy Cities Program?
The New Energy Cities program is a partnership between Climate Solutions and innovative Northwest
cities and counties that wish to be early adopters of the 21st Century clean energy system. The New
Energy Cities program embraces four key components of an integrated energy system—very efficient
and intelligent buildings, smart power grids, plug‐in electric vehicles and energy storage, and renewable
power sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass.
Our goal is to help the cities and counties that we work with embrace this integrated program in ways
that create local jobs, spur economic development, reduce vulnerability to energy price swings, and
leverage public investment with large‐scale private investment.
Climate Solutions brings expertise in policy leadership, program design, finance, public engagement, and
technology to help communities develop practical, comprehensive strategies customized to their unique
circumstances and assets.
Our goal is to leverage the leadership of the pioneering communities we work with to provide model
strategies that will translate into similar success elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest and the country.
What are the components of the New Energy Cities program?
The New Energy Cities program offers the following services:
Workshop
Action Plan
Implementation Planning Consultation
Financing Framework
Communications/Public Outreach Planning
Ongoing Consultation
How does the Workshop work?
New Energy Cities experts conduct a two‐day workshop during which they provide an intensive review
of energy systems; instruct participants about the way that energy will work in the future; build capacity
among local leaders to adopt a new energy approach; and develop a common strategic focus around
which to build toward carbon‐neutrality by 2030.
New Energy Cities FAQ 1 | Page
Packet Page 242 of 265
New Energy Cities FAQ 2 | Page
New Energy Cities workshops are geared toward 25‐50 key City and or County decision‐makers—elected
officials, utility representatives, city managers, finance directors, top staff, influential local business and
nonprofit leaders. The workshop is designed to create a meaningful strategy for action, based on a 20‐
year timeline to achieve the dramatic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions called for by the
international scientific community, and by doing so capture substantial economic benefits for the
communities who participate.
The workshop format is presentational as well as interactive focusing on five essential modules:
Buildings and Efficiency
Clean, Distributed Energy Production
Next‐Generation Infrastructure, including Smart Grid and Electrical Vehicle Interface
Financing Strategy and Tools
Leadership and Capacity‐Building
The workshop includes a visual mapping exercise to translate the emerging vision and collective
knowledge into a road map for the whole energy system. This road map is the basis for developing a
three‐year action plan for the community, which is the final outcome of the workshop.
What is the Action Plan?
The Action Plan is crafted to provide a community with three years of actions that will put it on the path
to achieve its 20‐year objectives and in this respect represents a unique transformative process for
communities that are mired in incremental processes. It distills the concepts and community input from
the workshop into a roadmap for action by each local jurisdiction—mapping the most important steps to
take in the next three‐six months, the next six‐12 months, and the next 18‐36 months.
The Action Plan recommends program structure, policy, capacity building, community engagement, and
finance strategies based on an understanding of what’s needed in every community, but tailored to the
local context.
The core purpose of the Action Plan is to affirm the community’s ability to achieve this great challenge—
long‐term transition to a clean energy system that drives economic development, upgrades local
infrastructure, attracts large‐scale private investment, and achieves needed greenhouse gas reductions
and environmental performance.
What is in the Implementation Plan?
Implementation of this Action Plan requires a community to be strategic and committed to the
transformation of its energy systems. Once a community has gone through the process of developing its
Action Plan, Climate Solutions works closely with community leaders and key staff to design an
Implementation Plan, identifying short‐term resource needs and sources, facilitating rapid development
of pilot projects at scale, and supporting an intensive engagement of the broader community about the
Action Plan and what it will mean for the community.
What is in the Financing Plan?
Success in the New Energy Cities program is based on the proven reality that each of the components of
the Action Plan represents investments that can be tied to appropriate investors. Climate Solutions
Packet Page 243 of 265
provides the support and expertise necessary to create the financing tools essential for the scope and
scale of work by helping a community think and operate with an investor orientation.
We help identify the critical elements of policy and institutional structure necessary to leverage very
large amounts of investment capital available to finance improvements in building performance,
infrastructure, and clean, distributed energy producing technologies. The Financing Plan provides the
necessary capital for an aggressive approach to transforming the energy system by emphasizing the role
that scale and risk management play in enabling private investment capital to participate in these
activities.
What does the Ongoing Consultation provide?
While the Action Plan and associated implementation and financing support is critical to the New Energy
Cities, we also understand that every community needs help building their capacity to have the
wherewithal to carry on for the next 20 years. Our role can include ongoing, direct support to key staff
and leadership as they build their own expertise, confidence, and track record of success.

New Energy Cities Workshop Outline
Introduction
New Energy Cities Framework: Blueprint for Jobs and Innovation
Why this framework? Where has this worked elsewhere? What is our challenge?
Buildings and Efficiency
Buildings and energy use overview [how much will be demolished in the next 10‐20 years, how much will
be newly constructed: half of existing building stock can become more energy efficient through tear down
& rehab) U.S. energy use (buildings, industry, transportation)
U.S. electricity use (buildings, industry)
Characteristics of the national electrical grid (hydro, coal, natural gas, etc)
Abatement curve [Cost of abatement per ton of GHG, shows you what you can do for net cost]
What is net zero & what does it take? [factors in building performance, real time feedback, optimizing
costs]
Local and State policies on building efficiency [example of net zero policy] Examples of initiatives
underway
Real time feedback, need for information and data for the consumer, getting them to monitor and abate
their behavior
Building report card (goal to have these be part of inspection)
Take away points:
1. Buildings use a lot of energy, nationally and locally and offer a significant opportunity for energy efficiency
when retrofitted and built new.
2. Enormous opportunity for adjusting energy use (more bang for your buck)
3. Buildings that have the capability to give real time feedback information about energy use make it
possible for occupants and owners to have the data to reduce their energy use.
Renewable Energy
Overview of types of renewable energy discussed (solar, wind, fuel cells etc)
Distributed generation: technologies, applications, trends, emerging models
Federal & State incentives [and GHG regulation]
Overview of market status of each type [i.e. what is the current capacity for each type in the U.S.?]
Overview of cost per MWh in the U.S.
Challenges (upfront costs, transmission, permitting, markets)
PGE/Salem electric efforts on renewable energy
Austin TX example
Take away points:
1. Communities have multiple options for renewable energy technology.
2. Incentives and regulation are key to the development of cost‐effective renewable energy technologies
3. Short‐term costs are a significant challenge but the integration of renewables and efficiency can help
overcome short‐term cost barriers
Packet Page 245 of 265
Next Generation Energy Infrastructure
Electric vehicles (EV); EV components and infrastructure; market projections; financial incentives
Current opportunity (EV’s): US DOE grant; Oregon programs, etc
Existing opportunities (EV’s, expansion of bike/ ped infrastructure, transit, etc.)
What is the Smart Grid and Smart Meters
Potential benefits and challenges
District Energy [what is it and how does it work?]
Take away points:
1. Energy infrastructure will evolve in several key ways:
a. Smart Grid ‐ the array of technologies will bring greater intelligence and interactivity to energy
distribution and consumption
b. Electric vehicle interconnection will offer major opportunities for upgrading systems
c. Urban energy storage will become an increasingly important element of energy infrastructure
planning
2. Unprecedented amounts of capital are being directed to energy infrastructure upgrades
3. State and Local initiatives can accelerate implementation, align with other energy system activities (e.g.,
retrofits), and attract additional investments
4. Consideration of energy infrastructure relates to alternative transportation and land use efforts, notably
around in‐fill development and vehicle fuels
Sustainable Industry and Jobs
Green jobs & workforce innovation
Market sectors represented; growth projections; jobs
Related federal and state directives
Sustainable economy road map
Take away points:
1. Why are green jobs important?
2. What are components of sustainable economic development?
3. How does a city mobilize resources to create green jobs?
Finance
Role of local government [policy, collaboration, investment]
Importance of partnerships; leveraging funds
Finance innovation
Examples around the country
Take away points:
1. Financing for clean energy is fluid and cutting edge. There are a variety of financing models being
developed around the country, which we will describe.
2. You can do LIDs, Special Purpose Districts, private capital, charitable dollars, bonds, etc.
3. The goal is to create models that enable a combination of public and private resources that will be
deployed as appropriate given the nature and scope of the projects to be financed, enabling both patient
capital and capital that demands a higher and swifter return.

Council Member Strom Peterson John Westfall, Fire Marshall
Council Member Adrienne Fraley-Monillas Leonard Yarberry, Building Official

Council President Steven Bernheim Rob Chave, Planning Manager
Stephen Clifton, Community Srvcs. Director

The committee convened at 6:00 p.m.
This was a combined committee meeting of the Community/Development Services and
Public Safety Committees to review adoption of the 2009 International Codes, items A
and B. The codes include the Building and Fire codes adopted and amended in the
ECDC.
A. Title 19.25 revisions (adopting updated International Fire Code) and Title 19.65
Marina Code
.
B.
Title 19 revisions (adopting the updated International Codes and State
amendments).
Fire Marshal Westfall provided a brief introduction and noted that the State is on a 3 year
code adoption cycle, which is the reason for the current code adoption/amendments.
Building Official Yarberry added that State Building Code Act mandates the enforcement
of the codes and that the new 2009 codes are effective statewide on July 1st
. The local
adoption allows the city to amend the codes so that they will work in a consistent manner
with the other municipal code sections, and importantly the administration, appeal and
enforcement provisions.
Yarberry provided an overview of the proposed adoptive language, which included
editorial changes to reduce and simplify. The majority of the new ordinance would be
the same as the current code. Two proposed changes to section 105.2 related to work
exempt from permit were discussed in detail. The first related to the exemption of
retaining walls under 4 foot in height. Council member Wilson expressed reservation
about how this would be applied and asked for some additional information to be
presented at full Council. The second change related to the exemption of door and
window replacement and re-siding of homes. Yarberry noted that there are particular
problems associated with water penetration, safety glazing and emergency egress that
the exemption makes difficult to address. Council member Wilson asked that a narrative
be prepared for full Council consideration of the issues.

Fire Marshal Westfall presented the proposed adoptive language for the Fire Code and
the Marina Code. Westfall noted changes in the 2009 Fire code related to emergency
responder radio coverage, new fire alarm requirements and requirements for installation
of CO monitors. Particular amendments to the City ordinance include a restriction on
above ground fuel storage tanks in residential zones to 1000 gals, and 500 gal restriction
for LPG storage.
Westfall presented proposed changes to the Marina Code in title 19.65, which included a
requirement for slip numbering and pier identification to assist in emergency response.
Also he noted that there were some changes related to spill reporting requirements.
Council member Wilson asked if these requirements could be compared to the
stormwater discharge regulations to ensure consistency. Westfall acknowledged that
this could be brought back to full Council.
C. Tree City; tree ordinance; review of Planning Board recommendations on
Streetscape Plan
Steve Bernheim was present for this item, and introduced the ordinance that would
establish a ‘tree board’ to study ideas for Edmonds, such as obtaining “Tree City USA”
status and sponsoring an Arbor Day event. Steve believed that the proposed ordinance
was a good first step, without committing to too much in terms of time and resources
while doing further exploration and research. Stephen Clifton noted that the City would
need to be careful before committing additional staff resources, understanding that
additional regulations and programs all have associated costs. Rob Chave and Brian
McIntosh both noted that supporting boards and commissions can be a challenge,
especially if the group is too large and the terms or conditions of service are too
restrictive. Steve agreed, saying that the intent was to initiate the discussion, and a tree
board could help. After discussion, all agreed that staff should meet with the principal
citizens spearheading the effort to develop a solid proposal for the Committee and full
Council to consider. Brian also mentioned that staff was working on a review and update
of the Street Tree Plan, focusing on what is working and where minor modifications
might be needed. This will proceed through the Planning Board and Council approval
process.
.
ACTION: Staff will meet with the program proponents to refine the proposal, and bring
back to the Committee for discussion and potential action next month (June).
D. Discussion on Conditional Use Permits for home occupations
Gina Coccia briefly explained the City’s process for approving home occupations, and
that there is essentially a two-tiered system where customers or employees coming to a
residence mainly triggers an expensive Hearing Examiner hearing and review. Staff’s
experience has been that certain types of home occupations, such as music teachers,
generate very little neighborhood concern, but have to undergo the expensive Hearing
Examiner process. Other cities surveyed seem to have more streamlined rules, and on
review, it seems to staff that it should be possible to more clearly codify conditions that

would make home occupations compatible with a neighborhood while enabling them to
be more easily permitted. After discussion, the Committee agreed that the issue should
be studied by the Planning Board with the idea of ‘keeping it simple.’ Chair Peterson
pointed out that supporting home occupations made sense from a community
sustainability standpoint.
ACTION: Referred the issue to the Planning Board for study and a recommendation to
the City Council.
E. Cascade Land Conservancy/ Neighborhood Projects
Rob Chave explained that this subject was mentioned briefly during the Council’s
quarterly update on the activities of the Cascade Land Conservancy (CLC), which has
an agreement with the city as part of its participation in the Cascade Agenda Leadership
Cities Program. As part of that program, CLC has committed to contributing 25 hours of
time to a project in Edmonds. After discussing this with CLC, Rob noted that there was
agreement that CLC had the expertise and ability to assist in a neighborhood planning
process for the two neighborhood commercial centers – Five Corners and Westgate.
CLC has experience in visioning, public process, and community design, and could
assist in developing a public process that could serve as a ‘template’ that could be used
in similar planning in other neighborhoods in the city. Stephen Clifton mentioned that this
was a priority for the Economic Development Commission. Evan Pierce, of the Land Use
Subcommittee of the Economic Development Commission, was present and noted that
the Land Use Subcommittee was supportive of the idea, and felt very strongly that the
City needed to move forward on planning for the neighborhood commercial areas as
soon as possible. He also said that the EDC would like to be involved and help with the
project; Rob stated that the Planning Board would also be included. He also suggested
that he had been in contact with someone at the University of Washington who thought
that they could also participate. Rob’s thought was that a team approach could be put
together to push the planning effort forward. If the Committee thought the idea had merit,
staff would work with CLC and the EDC to further develop a scope of work and plan to
present to the Council.
.
ACTION: The Committee supported the idea of a team approach, and agreed that the
idea should be developed further and presented to Council when ready.
F. Community gardens; planting; gardening in planting strips
Rob Chave and Brian McIntosh noted that staff had initiated this discussion because of
the apparent interest by individuals and groups (such as the Edmonds Floretum Garden
Club) in community gardens and gardening in planting strips (in rights-of-way). Seattle
has encouraged these activities, and staff provided some information on the P-Patch
and planting strip programs that are active there. Rob noted that the city’s zoning codes
don’t really address community gardens, and the code should be updated to clarify
where and how that activity should be allowed. The first community garden being
developed by the Floretum Garden Club is on a church property, and is not within the
city limits. However, it is likely that churches or other sites in Edmonds could be of

interest in the future. The City does allow gardening-type activity in rights-of-way, so long
as it doesn’t create a hazard or sight obstruction. A difference between Seattle’s and
Edmonds’ regulations appears to be that while Seattle also requires a permit for
gardening in the right-of-way, the permit is ‘free’ and doesn’t cost a home owner
anything. During discussion, it was agreed that the Planning Board should evaluate the
zoning issue and develop a recommendation to Council, while Engineering could advise
Council of any appropriate changes related to planting strips if it community interest
increases.
ACTION: Referred the issues surrounding zoning for community gardens to the
Planning Board for further study and recommendation to Council.
The Committee meeting adjourned at 7:46 p.m.
