3. COMMUNITY SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: INTRODUCTION OF NEW EDMONDS
COMMUNITY COLLEGE PRESIDENT JEAN HERNANDEZ.
Community Services/Economic Development Director Stephen Clifton explained Dr. Hernandez was
named President of Edmonds Community College January 1, 2011. Dr. Hernandez has nearly 30 years
experience in higher education. She was previously the vice president for instruction at South Seattle
Community College, where she recently served as the interim president and vice chancellor from March
to July 2010. As vice president for instruction, she increased the diversity of the tenure track faculty by
ethnicity, religion, and age; collaborated with faculty leadership to create a tenure handbook and tenure
orientation sessions; and received six grants through the Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King
County totaling more than $500,000.
Dr. Hernandez began her community college career at Shoreline Community College as a multicultural
studies teacher and promoted to Dean of Health Occupations and Physical Education. She then joined
Cascadia Community College as the executive vice president for student learning, where she served as the
Accreditation Liaison Officer to the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. She has also
served in numerous leadership roles with the Washington state community and technical college system.
In addition, she has worked in university environment in the areas of human resources, admissions, and
career services.
Dr. Hernandez received her Doctorate of Education degree in Educational Leadership & Policy Studies
from the University of Washington and her Master of Education in Counselor Education and Bachelor of
Science in Secondary Education degrees from the University of North Texas.
Edmonds Community College President Jean Hernandez recognized the amazing job done by former
President Jack Oharah and her hope that she could take the College to the next level. She introduced
Trustee Board Member Dick Van Hollenbeke, a former Edmonds Councilmember who also served 10
years on the Edmonds Community College Foundation and is in his fifth year on the Board of Trustees.

Dr. Hernandez provided several facts regarding Edmonds Community College (ECC):
• Served over 20,000 unduplicated students over the last year
• Average student age 29
• Diverse student population including students of color, veterans, homeless and learning English
as a second language
• 42% of students who earn a bachelor’s degree transfer from a community college
• 14% of students already have a bachelor’s degree
• 48% work either part or full time
• 31% care for children or dependents
Dr. Hernandez referred to the misconception that students do not receive as good an education at a
community college compared to a university environment; in her experience students receive a better
education in a community college setting because they are in smaller classrooms, engaged with faculty
and have the opportunity to develop strong skills and build self esteem.
Dr. Hernandez described ECC’s job creation efforts that include 27 professional/technical programs,
worker retraining program, and receipt of $645,000 in financial aid to assist those students. ECC is proud
of their entrepreneurial culture; for example the Washington Aerospace Training and Research Center at
Paine Field that opened last year has served over 70 students, grant writing and contract employment, and
their allied healthcare program that started in 2002. She explained developing a new program at a
community college requires a formal application process to the State board to prevent competition with
other communities colleges in the area. The allied healthcare program offers 10 certificates that include
nursing assistant, pharmacy technician, phlebotomy, LPN, etc.
ECC has received a number of National Science Foundation grants and considers themselves a hub for
science and math. The NSF funds are used to develop math curriculum, expand the materials science
program, and to continue math, technology, engineering, science programs with high schools.
Dr. Hernandez described ECC’s online learning, explaining that approximately 25% of students take
online courses and often earn better grades due to the ability to work at their convenience. ECC’s online
enrollment is second only to Bellevue College in the Washington in offering online courses. Bellevue
serves 10,000 student FTEs; ECC serves approximately 6700 FTEs.
Dr. Hernandez explained ECC is very committed to being green and take great pride in the ESCO grants
they have received that allowed replacement of equipment. The changes the grant funded will save
approximately $1 million in energy costs over the next ten years. Edmonds Community College’s most
recent building, Meadowdale Hall, was certified LEED Silver. With their energy management program
and construction program, Edmonds Community College will continue teaching students to be green.
ECC serves approximately 1600 international students. The international program helps the College in
many ways, including adding $2 million to the general budget and allows the College to offer more
classes. Approximately 150 students will tutor international students and interact with them, developing
friendships and possibly traveling abroad in the future. Approximately $9 million is brought into the
community by international students via room/board, shopping, entertainment, etc. She noted a number of
ECC students also travel abroad and a faculty member recently took a group of students to Vietnam.
She invited Councilmembers to subscribe to the College’s monthly newsletter at www.edcc.edu/update.
She provided Edmonds Community College’s contact information: 425-650-1459 or www.edcc.edu.
Dr. Hernandez’ vision for the college is to work closely with industry and she hoped this summer to
develop employer roundtables to learn of employers’ needs to assist with building new curriculum as well

as to partner with industry. She was also interested in continued outreach regarding the programs offered
at ECC.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked why Edmonds Community College is a magnet for international
students. Dr. Hernandez answered one of the reasons international students choose ECC is the residence
halls as well as the strong partnerships on the campus with Central Washington University and
partnerships that have begun with University of Phoenix and City University. Those partnerships allow
international students to start at the community college and pay lower tuition and transfer to a 4-year
program.
Councilmember Wilson explained he used to teach at Edmonds, Shoreline, Bellevue and Green River
Community Colleges as well as the former Henry Cogswell College in Everett. He commended the
Edmonds Community College staff members who were very helpful and a tremendous resource.
Councilmember Petso pointed out the availability of the Running Start Program that her high school-aged
son participated in during the last two years. He will graduate from Edmonds-Woodway High School and
Edmonds Community College this spring. Dr. Hernandez explained the College serves about 650
Running Start students per year.
Mayor Cooper congratulated the College on their role in the community, educating and preparing people
for the workforce, particularly the Aerospace Training Center at Paine Field. The work being done by
Edmonds and Everett Community Colleges in partnership with the aerospace industry is preparing the
workforce so that this area can continue to build tankers and other aircraft at Paine Field instead of in
another country or state.
4. JOINT MEETING WITH SNOHOMISH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT 1 COMMISSIONERS.
Snohomish County Fire District #1 Commissioners present: David Chan (Chairman), Richard Schrock,
Bob Meador, and Jim Kenney.
Mayor Cooper explained the City’s contract with Fire District 1 (FD1) requires an annual joint meeting be
held prior to April 1.
Commission Chair David Chan expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to meet with the Council.
The past year has been a good experience for FD1. Not only was FD1 able to join forces with Edmonds,
Edmonds’ staff brought a great deal of talent to FD1. He referred to efforts to strengthen service to
Edmonds including the after-the-fire neighborhood meetings such as the one held early this year
following a fatal fire in Edmonds, training offered by FD1, and the new technical rescue unit housed at
Fire Station 16.
Commissioner Jim Kenny commented the transition has gone well. He hoped to hear Councilmembers’
thoughts regarding the transition
Commissioner Bob Meador thanked the City for the staff they transferred to FD1, noting they had added
a great deal of experience to FD1’s staff.
Commissioner Richard Schrock recognized the fine workforce transferred from Edmonds who made an
outstanding addition to FD1’s workforce. The former Edmonds personnel seemed to be happy with the
transition.
Mayor Cooper advised the contract also requires the Fire Chief to provide an annual Report. Fire Chief
Ed Widdis presented his annual report, advising they prepare an annual report for the entire district as
Packet Page 7 of 313

well as Brier and Mountlake Terrace. He reviewed operations including responses in Edmonds 2006-2010
and calls by type. He noted the number of calls was down in 2010 from 2009 but that figure often
fluctuates. He commented on the new equipment including a technical rescue unit that was partially
funded by a federal grant. The unit was ordered a year ago and when it arrived, staff evaluated FD1,
Brier, Mountlake Terrace and Edmonds and determined the appropriate location was Fire Station 16
because it can reach the entire area FD1 covers and there are more rescue calls in that area due in part to
the proximity to the water. FD1 also purchased an air, light and rehabilitation unit that is equipped with
an air compressor, power plant and other equipment to provide support on a fire scene. The air, light and
rehabilitation unit is housed at Station 10 at 156th & Hwy. 99.
Chief Widdis commented on FD1’s fire prevention efforts. FD1 held two Smoke Alarm Saturday events
in Edmonds in 2010 where they go door-to-door and replace batteries and install new smoke alarms as
needed. He referred to the Fire Marshal’s report regarding inspections and fire investigations. He advised
FD1 instituted bike medics again who rode in Edmonds 4th of July parade. He also commented on FD1’s
community outreach and public education efforts such as fire station tours, car seat safety checks, and
after-the-fire neighborhood meetings. He commented on the FD1 Honor Guard that participates in
community events.
Chief Widdis provided training highlights, explaining the FD1 headquarters station at 128th & I-5 has a 4-
story tower that is used for smoke exercises. Other training includes hazardous materials decontamination
and multiple-casualty incidents. FD1 took in the members of Edmonds’ volunteer program a year prior to
consolidation as well as volunteers from Lynnwood and other cities who have discontinued their
volunteer programs. Volunteers work in support functions, such as staffing the air, light and rehabilitation
unit.
Assistant Fire Chief Mark Correira explained the contract for service requires FD1 provide the annual
(RCW) 35.103 Report, the Response Time Standards Report. The Council adopted standards in 2006.
1. Turnout time for all emergency incidents
Standard: 2:45 minutes/seconds
Actual 2010: Standard met with a turnout time of 2:31 minutes/seconds
2A. Response time of the first-arriving Engine Company to a fire suppression incident
Standard: 6:30 minutes/seconds
Actual 2010: Standard not met with 6:31 minutes/seconds of response time
2B. Response time for the deployment of full first-alarm assignment to a residential fire suppression
incident
Standard: 7:45 minutes/seconds
Actual 2010: Standard not met with full deployment response time of 10:10* minutes/seconds.
(*total of eight incidents)
2C. Response time for the deployment of full first-alarm assignment to a commercial fire suppression
incident
Standard: 9 minutes
Actual 2010: Standard met with 08:41* minutes/seconds of response time. (* total of two
incidents)
3. Response time of the first-arriving unit with a first responder (BLS) or higher level capability to
an emergency medical incident
Standard: 5:15 minutes/seconds
Actual 2010: Standard met with 5:14 minutes/seconds of response time
Packet Page 8 of 313

4. Response time for the arrival of an advanced life support (two Paramedics) unit to an emergency
medical incident
Standard: 6:45 minutes/seconds
Actual 2010: Standard exceeded by 3 seconds or 6:48 minutes/seconds of response time
5A1. Response time of the first-arriving apparatus with appropriately trained and equipped Hazardous
Materials Operations level personnel onboard to a hazardous materials incident.
Standard: 6:30 minutes/seconds
Actual 2010: Standard met with 2:46* minutes/seconds of response time. (*one reportable call)
5A2. Response time of the first-arriving apparatus with appropriately trained and equipped Hazardous
Materials Technician level personnel onboard to a hazardous materials incident.
Standard: 12 minutes
Actual 2010: No reportable incidents
5B1. Response time of the first-arriving apparatus with appropriately trained and equipped Technical
Rescue Operations level personnel on board to a technical rescue incident.
Standard: 6:30 minutes/seconds
Actual 2010: Standard met with 4:44* minutes/seconds of response time (*total of three
incidents)
5B2. Response time of the first-arriving apparatus with appropriately trained and equipped Technical
Rescue Technician level personnel on board to a technical rescue incident.
Standard: 12 minutes
Actual 2010: No reportable incidents
6. Response time of the first-arriving apparatus with appropriately trained and equipped Marine
Rescue and Firefighting personnel on board to a marine incident.
Standard: 6:30 minutes/seconds
Actual 2010: Standard met with 4:44 minutes/seconds of response time.
Assistant Chief Correira highlighted the Council-adopted standards that were not met:
2A. Response time off the first-arriving Engine Company to a fire suppression incident.
Established: 6:30 minutes/seconds
Actual: 6:31 minutes/seconds
2B. Response time for the deployment of full first-alarm assignment to a residential fire suppression
incident
Established: 7:45 minutes/seconds
Actual: 10:10 minutes/seconds
4. Response time for the arrival of an advanced life support (two Paramedics) unit to emergency
medical incident
Established: 6:46 minutes/seconds
Actual: 6:48 minutes/seconds
Assistant Chief Correira explained the predictable consequences are difficult to determine because the
times are so close. Corrective actions for the standards include:
• Continue to pursue single-district regionalization as it provides more flexibility with deployment
models and may realize more shared resources. With contract for service, deployment options are
somewhat limited. A group at FD1 is considering this.
• Work more closely with automatic aid partners as they make up the three-plus additional
members needed to be assembled on the residential fire ground.
• Continue to pursue technology options that may expedite response. The new CAD system is
expected to improve response times within the next 1-2 years.

Councilmember Wilson explained when he first joined the Council, 5 minutes was the national standard.
Then Fire Chief Tomberg said that may be an acceptable response time but Edmonds adopted more
realistic standards given funding, topography and station allocation. He was heartened to see that the
EMS response was approximately at the 5 minute national standard but was concerned that 2B, residential
fire response time, does not meet the standard and is significantly above 5 minutes. Recognizing that the
City’s contract with FD1 states the City will need to pay if any of the response times are lowered, he
asked whether the adopted standards were appropriate with a more regionalized approach to deployment.
If the standards are not comparable to standards for the rest of FD1, what changes are recommended such
as a new fire station location. Assistant Chief Correira commented this is a 1-year picture of compliance
with standards; there are 4 other years that are compared to. Since Edmonds joined FD1, responses are
done in the same way; the medic unit is still at Fire Station 17 and units are cross staffed (aid calls utilize
the aid unit and fire calls utilize the fire engine). He noted times have fluctuated over the last four years.
There are few structure fires and the district relies on automatic aid partners for such incidents. He
referred to 2B, advising staff does not wait until all 15 people are on fire ground; the first arriving unit
begins tasks such as walking around the building, rescuing anyone trapped inside, etc. The numbers are
used as a guideline and they are an important measurement tool. Although the time in 2B appears to be
significantly outside the norm, the last unit arriving is from an automatic aid partner such as Lynnwood
and their arrival time cannot be guaranteed.
Assistant Chief Correira explained one of the challenges is that the busiest area, 212th near the Public
Works building where there are nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities and a medical clinic, is the
furthest for all stations in Edmonds. When responding to that area, geography is the biggest enemy.
Unless a fire station is relocated to that area, it is unlikely the response times will change dramatically.
There are other options such as when FD1 has an extremely busy station, they dedicate the units such as a
staffed fire engine or ladder truck supported by a transport EMS unit. When they do that it improves
response times for fire events because the unit is available and not out of service at the hospital. There is a
joint labor/management group, the Service Delivery Group, who are looking at ways to improve service,
from deployment to ways to better utilize resources. Another challenge is that via the Interlocal
Agreements, each cities’ Fire Department is operated the way that the city operated the Fire Department.
Councilmember Wilson invited Chief Widdis or Assistant Chief Correira to offer suggested updates to the
standards at the May 10 Public Safety & Human Resources Committee meeting, specifically 2B. If that
standard is only met when Lynnwood arrives, he suggested a different standard that is not the full
contingent on site but perhaps the first half of the contingent so that success can be measured based on
FD1 and not another agency. Assistant Chief Correira agreed, advising the Strategic Planning Group is
considering additional benchmarks such as the time to reach the patient’s side, how fast water is put on a
fire, amount of time spent on scene at certain calls, how fast units get back in service, etc.
Commissioner Meador commented on “EMS creep,” explaining EMS calls continue to rise at a faster rate
than fire incidents. By cross-staffing fire companies, the consequence is longer response times or out of
service times. He expected time would continue to be a problem and likely would not improve with
staffing of 3-person companies and cross-staffing. There may need to be changes in staffing and they will
approach the City with that recommendation when it is appropriate.
Councilmember Petso commented shortly after FD1 took over Edmonds service, there was a call to her
neighborhood near the Shoreline border which admittedly is geographically challenged. She followed up
on the response time because it seemed they heard sirens for hours and there was concern that emergency
personnel got lost on the way. She discovered the responding station to her neighborhood is not the
geographically closest station, Esperance, but the downtown fire station. The downtown fire station was
out so the response was from the fire station on 196th which explained the extended response time. She
asked whether FD1 had the ability to enter into an agreement with Shoreline to improve response time.

Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 22, 2011

Assistant Chief Correira responded one of the challenges is technology; when a 911 call comes in, the
address appears, dispatch enters the information and the units identified. The two dispatch agencies in
Snohomish County, SNOCOM and SNOPAC, have the ability to send the call to the appropriate dispatch
agency, reducing the transition time. A 1-2 minute delay was built in between King and Snohomish
County because there is paging notification followed by a phone call. The new CAD system should have
improved interoperability; King County will be using the same CAD system, allowing the call to be
transferred more quickly. When he researched that call, he learned everyone in the fire station had been
working in Edmonds for a long time and knew how to reach that neighborhood.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas inquired about current staffing, 3 firefighters per station. Assistant Chief
Correira advised that was the current staffing other that at the 196th fire station that has a Battalion Chief
and the downtown fire station that has three firefighters-EMTs and two additional paramedic-firefighters.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether the Edmonds Fire Department had those same staffing
levels. Assistant Chief Correira answered the staffing levels and deployment models are the same.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to Standard 2B where the standard is 7:45 minutes/seconds and
the actual is 10:10 minutes/seconds, noting that was for the deployment of the full response. According to
Standard 2A, the first fire engine arrives within 6:31 minutes/seconds. Assistant Chief Correira agreed.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas clarified the first engine arrived in an average of 6:31 minutes/seconds;
the full deployment took 10:10 minutes/seconds. Assistant Chief Correira explained the way FD1
responds to a residential structure fire is to send two fire engines, a ladder truck, an aid unit, a medic unit
and the Battalion Chief. Response could be delayed depending on what other calls are occurring at the
time; the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. are very busy regionally particularly in Lynnwood around
Christmas. He noted a longer response time for one call could sway the numbers dramatically due to the
limited number of calls.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to corrective action and the statement, “Continue to pursue
single-district regionalization as it provides more flexibility with deployment models and may realize
more shared resources.” She asked whether regionalization would allow personnel to reach
Councilmember Petso’s neighborhood faster for example. Assistant Chief Correira responded the biggest
challenge with that area is the breakdown of the dispatch center. Reducing the technological issues
between Snohomish and King Counties will reduce the response time. That language refers to one
regional fire department for Southwest Snohomish County which may provide some opportunity and
flexibility to expand footprints. For example, the footprint of Lynnwood’s aid car could be expanded to
better serve the region, allowing other resources to be in service. Consideration could also be given to
moving the medic unit located at the downtown station closer to Stevens Hospital or other busy grids.
Regionalization would essentially provide better service to the public.
To Councilmember Petso, Mayor Cooper commented neither of Shoreline’s fire stations are closer than
the Esperance or downtown Edmonds station. Response times would likely be much longer due to
geography and dispatch delays. He referred to the relationship between Standards 2A and 2B, explaining
that even though FD1 was doing a really good job getting the first engine company to the scene,
personnel can only perform certain tasks when the first three people arrive on scene.
Mayor Cooper asked FD1 staff to explain the difference between turnout time and response time.
Assistant Chief Correira explained RCW 35.103 identified specific times and definitions. Dispatch time is
from the time a call comes into dispatch, information entered and the button pushed to send units. Turnout
time begins when the bell rings at the fire station until wheels begin rolling in route. Response time is
drive time from when wheels start rolling to arrival on scene. Other benchmarks being considered are the
time it takes to reach the patient’s side or time to get water on a fire.
Packet Page 11 of 313
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 22, 2011
Page 9
Mayor Cooper asked FD1 to address how long it takes dispatch to answer the call and tone the bells in the
fire station and time to get water on the fire after the first engine arrives. Assistant Chief Correira
answered SNOCOM does a phenomenal job and have changed the way they do dispatch. Instead of
gathering a lot of information from the caller, they now only ask 2-3 questions before deciding which unit
to send, reducing dispatch time to 1 minute. The national standard for dispatch time is 1 minute. There is
also a national standard for turnout time of 1 minute. FD1 compares itself with a number of agencies such
as Bellevue, Seattle, Tacoma; many of them have established a 1 minute turnout time but found they were
only meeting it 20-30% of the time. They may decide that standard needs to be revised because it is
unrealistic and at some level unsafe because personnel are rushing.
With regard to getting water on the fire, Assistant Chief Correira explained there are numerous tasks that
must be accomplished first such as tying into the hydrant, pulling hose to the front door, the company
officer walking around the building to assess the incident. Edmonds added a Battalion Chief to the 2
in/2out to provide that functionality while waiting for additional resources to arrive. Once there are
enough people on the fire ground, personnel can enter the building, find the fire, locate any people and
put out the fire. Depending on how long it takes for the second unit to arrive, the time to get water on the
fire is upwards of 3-5 minutes.
Chief Widdis explained when the agreement with Edmonds was negotiated, it was agreed to keep
everything the same at least for the first year. He referred to the memo in the Annual Report regarding
EMS Transport Billings and Collections.
Student Representative Gibson referred to Chief Widdis’ comment that it was agreed not to change
anything for the first year and asked if there were plans to make any changes in the future. Chief Widdis
answered discussions are occurring with a deployment group. Within the district, there is a transport unit
with two EMTs that transports patients, freeing up the other crews. For example, the medic unit was
removed from Station 10; the engine has all the capabilities and equipment; they respond to the scene, the
next unit does the transport and the crew is back in service. There is a 2-person medic unit and EMTs
elsewhere, consideration is being given to whether it would be better to have medics everywhere and a 2-
person EMT unit that does all the transports.
Councilmember Wilson referred to Appendix B, Transport Billings and Collections for 2010, asking
whether Esperance was withdrawn from the amount billed in 2010. FD1 Finance Director Kathleen
Junglov responded the number for 2009 was the amount billed by the City of Edmonds. The number for
2010 does not include Esperance which was included in billings for FD1.
Councilmember Petso referred to Transport Billings and Collections, noting billings are $1.4 million but
collections are only $869,000. She asked about the difference and whether the City could always expect
to collect that low a percentage. Ms. Junglov answered many of the transports are billed to Medicare and
DSHS; Medicare does not reimburse at the full rate. For example, if Medicare is billed $800 for an ALS2
transport; they are currently paying $583. The City could always expect to have a fair amount that was
not collected.
Councilmember Petso commented the percentage that was missing was greater than the disparity caused
by Medicare reimbursement. She asked if there were other explanations for low receipts. Ms. Junglov
answered the balance that is not paid by insurance or Medicare or a resident without insurance who
cannot afford to pay is not pursued by collections and considered to be paid by the EMS levy.
To the question of the advantage of a larger organization/regionalization, Commissioner Meador
answered it was a more efficient use of staff. Regionalization is better in that respect.

When considering the deployment policy, Mayor Cooper asked whether consideration was given to where
personnel were stationed within the boundaries of the FD1 and all contract cities. Chief Widdis explained
in 2004-2005, FD1 hired a consultant who modeled the SNOCOM area. That information was used to
identify fire station locations and stations have been remodeled, replaced or sited based on that model.
With regard to a larger organization, one of the problems with the response time in Standard 2B is the
time for the last engine to arrive. Under regionalization, resources can be better controlled. For example
the agency would know what stations are out for a drill/training and provide backup staff for that station.
Councilmember Wilson commended the Commission for hiring good staff; Chief Widdis has been a
pleasure to work with and has provided whatever information he has requested. In October the Public
Safety Committee hosted a public session regarding what regionalization could look like. He asked
Commissioners their thoughts about timing of a Regional Fire Authority (RFA). Commissioner Chan
answered the Commission is sensitive to Edmonds needs; at the last RFA meeting there was a comment
that joining an RFA would allow more control. He explained under the current contract FD1 responds to
cities more quickly. The Commission wants to ensure all cities, agencies and citizens are well represented
in the RFA discussions.
Commissioner Kenny relayed the Board’s support for moving forward expeditiously with a RFA and
looked forward to working with Edmonds and the other cities. There are a lot of details and issues to
resolve and how quickly it can happen is unknown. The current monthly meeting schedule will result in a
longer process. It will be important after an initial interim period for the entities that are serious about
moving forward to be on board and began taking action to move toward a RFA.
Commissioner Schrock explained he chairs FD1’s planning committee. A RFA is one of 3-4 ways to
regionalize. Edmonds joining FD1 is actually regionalization. The benefits of regionalization are better
service delivery. A RFA may be a way to expand regionalization and it makes sense only if the public is
better served, if service can be delivered better, faster and more efficiently. Other methods include
annexation, revising the terms of the contract, etc. He summarized FD1 was open to anything that
improved service.
Councilmember Buckshnis agreed Chief Widdis has been very helpful. She commented typically
regionalization resulted in economies of scale and reduced costs. Regionalization actually increases the
taxpayers’ cost versus the current structure. She asked why regionalization would not spread costs
throughout all jurisdictions, saving taxpayers money. Chief Widdis answered FD1 pays for everything
including vehicle replacement, building fund, etc. The City’s contract cost does not include station
replacement, SNOCOM, SERS, etc. Another issue is the assessed value per square mile; land values are
considerably less in unincorporated Snohomish County and growth is occurring at a rapid rate compared
to Edmonds. One of the advantages of a RFA is taxes are be collected in the same manner.
Commissioner Chan asked what the Council thought about a RFA. Council President Peterson echoed
previous comments about FD1 staff. After attending the RFA meetings, he was excited about the idea
particularly if it provided better service. He was excited about Edmonds being involved early in the
process. He thanked Councilmember Wilson and Mayor Cooper for spearheading the RFA effort. He
summarized this is a great opportunity for cities to discuss solutions. Fire costs are not going down and
regionalization may provide a way to maximize dollars as well as maximize public safety.
Mayor Cooper explained the Council expressed its interest in a RFA by passing a resolution and
appointing three people to represent the City on the RFA Planning Committee. The first goal is continue
to provide the highest possible level of service in the most effective manner and give the taxpayers the
best deal possible. He cautioned it was important not to approach a RFA from the point of saving money
but as a way of providing the best level of service. The ultimate decision will be made by the voters. It is
important for the Committee to look at all options to determine whether the RFA model is the best fit and
Packet Page 13 of 313
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 22, 2011
Page 11
whether Lynnwood, Mukilteo and Mill Creek belong in that model. He was hopeful that in six months the
interested parties would be identified. Kent took 18-24 months to put a RFA on the ballot; Kitsap County
met for 2 years and did not put a RFA on the ballot.
Mayor Cooper declared a brief recess.
5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Don Hall, Edmonds, referred to the report submitted by attorney John Chun regarding his investigation
of the complaint by Lorenzo Hines against Councilmembers Plunkett and Buckshnis. The conclusion
states, “granted certain communications and comments at issue may be construed as rude or uncivil and
such conduct may violate a city employment policy if committed by an employee but as Councilmembers
are not employees, this was not investigated.” Mr. Hall expressed concern that Councilmembers are not
subject to the conduct code for city employees and are not considered employees of the City, yet they
receive W-2s, employee health benefits, retirement, much like a City employee. He and others are tired of
elected officials playing by different rules and regulations. He noted this is not the first time a
Councilmember has been treated differently, citing the removal of signs on Sunset Avenue by
Councilmember Bernheim. He envisioned the outcome of that incident would have been much different if
that action been taken by a citizen. He cited the nation-wide movement to stop elected officials from
being treated differently or having special privileges. The taxpayers are elected officials’ employers and
every four years they have an opportunity to fire them. As Councilmembers’ employer, citizens expect
the highest standards from Councilmember and in his opinion, the three aforementioned Councilmembers
have not lived up to those expectations.
Todd Cloutier, Edmonds, referred to Agenda Item 6, emphasizing solar power does work in Edmonds
as one Councilmember who has solar panels can attest. The City does not need another small
demonstration project as proposed by some; there are already small demonstration projects such as the
demonstration arrays at the Snohomish County PUD facility. The Frances Anderson Center is a historic
site; the Historic Preservation Commission reviewed the proposal and overwhelmingly endorsed putting
solar arrays on the building. It is time to stop talking about solar like it is some future technology and start
generating clean power with made in Washington components. Having the array at the Anderson Center
is a statement of where Edmonds stands. Edmonds is a quaint little town that wants to stay that way but is
also a regional leader in planning for sustainability. Unlike any other nearby city, Edmonds’
Comprehensive Plan has a sustainability element that emphasizes sustainable energy sources and energy
efficiency as goals. The Anderson Center is undergoing significant upgrades for efficiency; co-locating a
solar array would only highlight that great work and help keep the building operational and efficient for a
longer period of time. The City is also a signatory to an international agreement regarding sustainability
and pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. A key part of reaching that goal
is local generation of clean power to replace coal power and this project is clearly aligned with the stated
goal and plans. Numerous children visit the Anderson Center and a solar array is a clear statement to them
of the City’s commitment to honor its promises, keep its eye on the past and plan for the future.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, referred to Fire District 1’s report, pointing out FD1 may have a rate increase in
2013. Next, he referred to his comments at the last Council meeting regarding earthquakes and a City
report that Public Works Director Phil Williams indicated will be updated. He suggested the updated
report be distributed to all residents. He referred to last week’s closed record review of the Hearing
Examiner’s recommendation, explaining the Hearing Examiner summarizes the comments made at the
hearing.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to Agenda Item 6, pointing out the City will only receive $249/year
for 10 years in exchange for the use of the roof at the Anderson Center. The savings are $31,000 for 10
years or approximately $3,000/year with full subscription. He questioned the percentage that represented
Packet Page 14 of 313
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 22, 2011
Page 12
of the City’s total energy usage and if it was enough money to make the project worthwhile. He
commented the $249/year lease was selected to avoid the 12% leasehold excise tax. With regard to signs,
he questioned whether the Architectural Design Board would review signs. With regard to trees, he noted
6 feet would be removed from a tree located 10 feet from the building, 4 feet would be removed from a
tree 4 feet from the building, and 3 other trees 17 feet from the building need to be maintained at their
current height. He pointed out there was no species listed or any requirement for an arborist report. He
questioned if the City or the Co-op would be responsible for repaying the tax credits and the grants if the
project failed. If the project is shut down for a period of 48 hours, the City must reimburse for lost
income. He was also concerned with locating equipment on the roof of a City building for ten years with
such a small payback and obligating the citizens for that length of time. He summarized the liability was
too great when compared to the small payback.
John Dewhirst, Edmonds, referred to Agenda Item 6, explaining it was reviewed by the Historic
Preservation Committee at the Council’s request and they were very enthusiastic about the proposal. It
will not harm the historic aspect of the building. He encouraged the City Council to approve the project.
Robert Freeman, Edmonds, referred to Agenda Item 6, commenting many people appreciate Edmonds’
quaint beauty. The solar project will do nothing to destroy Edmonds’ beautiful quaintness and will take
Edmonds in the direction of 21st century technology which may also attract visitors. He urged the Council
to vote in favor of the solar project.
6. CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A SITE LEASE FOR ROOF SPACE ON THE
FRANCES ANDERSON CENTER AND AN ENERGY SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE
EDMONDS COMMUNITY SOLAR COOPERATIVE TO FACILITATE THE CONSTRUCTION
AND OPERATION OF A COMMUNITY SOLAR PROJECT.
Public Works Director Phil Williams explained this project was first presented to the Council in October
2010 to determine if the Council wanted to explore the idea of a community solar project at the Frances
Anderson Center (FAC). After receiving a fairly enthusiastic response from the Council and direction to
further develop the idea, staff returned in January 2011 with draft agreements. There are two major
agreements between the City and Edmonds Community Solar Cooperative who is the sponsor of the
project. First, the Site Lease where the City will lease at least five identified roof spaces on the lower flat
area of the FAC roof where 18 inverters and up to 375 panels could be erected in modules as investment
money is available and hopefully reaching the full size project as quickly as possible. He noted there are
no major roof penetrations; the ballasted panels will sit on the roof. The second agreement, also with a 10
year term, is an Energy Services Agreement where the City is a customer of the new solar facility, buying
the electrical power it generates for use at the FAC. The City will pay a discounted rate for that power;
the City currently pays 8 cents/KWh; the power from the solar project would start at 5 cents/KWh. That
price will escalate at 3%/year over the 10 year period, another benefit to the City. That 3%/year escalation
is expected to be noticeably less than increases by the local utility over that 10 year period. As a result the
$31,800 estimated savings to the City in power costs over the ten years is likely to be higher.
Mr. Williams acknowledged the lease payment was not a great deal of money but that was not the focus
of the lease agreement. He agreed with Mr. Cloutier’s comments regarding the benefits of the project that
cannot be measured monetarily and said that is one of the primary reasons staff recommends approving
the agreements.
Mr. Williams acknowledged not all the issues have been resolved and cannot be resolved until the project
is designed. Once the Council approves the Site lease and the Energy Service Agreement, the Cooperative
will know they have a home for the project and can justify spending the considerable amount of money
necessary to prepare a detailed design. It would be ill-advised to spend a great deal on a project before a
site lease was secured.

He introduced Stanley Florek, Tangerine Power, who represents the Cooperative and will be assisting
them with the project. He also introduced Chris Herman, Mark Mayes, and Carlo Voli, Sustainable
Edmonds and Edmonds Community Solar Co-op. He noted there were several other members of
Sustainable Edmonds and/or the Solar Co-op in the audience.
Mr. Florek displayed a rendering of the 375 panels on the south and southwest facing roofs of the FAC,
noting the rendering did not account for roof obstructions. If there are roof obstructions, it is their
preference to use this space and not other wings of the FAC which may result in a slightly smaller system.
Mr. Florek explained 3 out of 4 Board Members of the Solar Co-op live in the Edmonds community and
are the ones who brought Tangerine Power to the table; Tangerine serves at their direction and the Board
serves at the direction of and has fiduciary responsibility to the cooperative members. He identified
members of the Co-op in the audience.
He displayed a photograph of a young child, noting that was what he cared about. He also displayed a
photograph of the nuclear plants damaged in Japan’s earthquake and pollutants entering the atmosphere.
He reviewed the benefit of the solar project to Edmonds:
• The City saves 30% on electricity generated by the solar power system. There is no initial cost to
the City; the capital investment is borne by the Co-op. He provided a graph of the 3%/year
increase versus the anticipated 5%/year utility increase and the 30% initial discount.
• The equipment has been tested to last up to 60 years and there are options after the ten year
period that allow the City to purchase the equipment at a significantly discounted rate or simply
receive the system with a nominal transfer fee.
• The City receives a $249/annual lease payment
• There are no maintenance or operating costs. Insurance will cover damage to the FAC as well as
any injuries resulting from the presence of the equipment, likely more coverage than the current
rooftop warranty.
With regard to who else has done a community solar project, Mr. Florek advised there are three
completed solar projects in Washington located in Ellensburg, Winthrop and Poulsbo. In addition,
projects are in the works in Seattle and Whidbey Island; and Bainbridge Island, Bellevue and Bellingham
are considering rooftop leases. Mr. Florek reviewed milestones since the last presentation to the Council:
• Efficient contract discussions with Mr. Williams, Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite and
City Attorney Scott Snyder that resulted in the roof lease agreement and Energy Services
Agreement
• Positive response from the FAC roof contractor and the manufacturer. Steps to be taken were
identified and with an inspection, the manufacturer will honor the warranty for the FAC roof.
• Positive response from the Historic Preservation Commission on March 10 and hopefully a
Certificate of Appropriateness will be granted for the project
• Signed a letter of intent with the most experienced solar installer in Washington, Synergy
Systems. The CEO/founder is here tonight.
Mr. Florek reviewed changes made in response to Council concerns expressed at the January 18 meeting:
• Lease agreement:
o Cooperative consents to a bond or cash reserve to cover in event of default or removal of the
system from FAC and the roof returned to original condition. An estimate of the removal cost
will be developed and funds set aside.
o In the event of default, the City will either take possession of the equipment and operate it or
have it removed based on the above bond/cash reserve.
Packet Page 16 of 313
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 22, 2011
Page 14
o Construction must begin by October 2011 and end by December 2012 or the contract is
terminated.
o Added specifics regarding tree trimming to keep the panels unshaded.
• Energy Service Agreement:
o Removed any monetary penalty or reclamation of federal or state tax credits for early
termination. The City is not a party to those tax credits. He requested the system remain in
place for the required five years to avoid recapture of taxes.
o Cooperative will obtain liability insurance in the amount of $2 million aggregate and $1
million incident and confirmed the potential installer carries the same insurance.
o Removed all language regarding a lender as no lender is involved in the project.
o Added estimated fair market value buy-out schedule for each of the years through 16 and
beyond.
Mr. Florek displayed photographs of the following:
• Woodland Park Zoo solar system
• Shoreline City Hall 20 KW system paid for via stimulus funding
• The underside of solar panels that can serve as skylights and overhangs
• Poulsbo Middle School
• Several street views of FAC as it exists today
• Proposed location of the 10 degree solar panels on the FAC roof
• Top view of the FAC roof
Mr. Florek also provided renderings of the 10 degree solar panels from the south, north and west. He
noted one of the photographs of the FAC included power lines; one aspect of solar power is that with
appropriate storage technology, power lines could be undergrounded or eliminated.
Councilmember Plunkett advised the statement made under Audience Comments that the Historic
Preservation Commission (HPC) supported the project was incorrect. The HPC said they were excited
about the possibilities and sees no negative effects. The HPC’s approval will be provided via a Certificate
of Appropriateness.
Councilmember Petso referred to Mr. Florek’s statement that the City’s savings were modeled assuming a
5% annual PUD power increase. Her research of her own PUD bills for the past four years revealed
increases of zero, zero, 4%, zero per year. Mr. Florek answered the average national annual increase over
the past 30 years according to the Department of Energy is 6%. Mr. Williams advised PUD will have an
8% increase in October.
Councilmember Petso referred to modest returns for investors and asked what return investors would
receive. Mr. Florek answered this is a break even affair, the Co-op members are interested in more green
power and anticipate they will recoup their investment in the 10 year timeframe. Councilmember Petso
pointed out the Poulsbo project and State law allows up to $75,000/year return to investors in addition to
the 30% federal tax credit. Mr. Florek advised the capital cost of the system is estimated at $750,000 over
10 years. Councilmember Petso observed 1/3 would be federal energy credits so investors would need to
contribute $500,000. Mr. Florek advised the 30% rebate is a post construction rebate so the funds will
need to be contributed at the beginning of the project.
Councilmember Petso advised the Council packet included a hotlink to the Poulsbo project. The return to
investors for that project is $250,000 compared with the Poulsbo School District energy savings of
$41,000. If Edmonds’ experience is similar, the return is better for the investor than the City. Mr. Florek
explained the organizers of the Poulsbo project found 16 high net worth individuals with significant tax
burdens who are able to use part of the tax code, accelerated depreciation from the equipment, that the
Packet Page 17 of 313
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 22, 2011
Page 15
investors on this project do not have access to. There is a limited subset of the population that is able to
absorb those credits, typically sheet corporations or high net worth real estate investors. One of the
decisions the Co-op made early on was they wanted to make this project accessible to a wide range of the
general public. As a result that depreciation benefits is not available to them and that is the major
difference between the projects.
Councilmember Petso explained when this was first proposed there was a $6,000 net metering credit. Mr.
Florek answered that is the full market value of the electricity at current PUD prices. That was suggested
by Sustainable Edmonds in October. Between October and December, Sustainable Edmonds contracted
with Tangerine to run the numbers and develop the proposal. Tangerine found some unexpected expenses
such as property tax which could be up to $12,000 in the first year, sales tax, insurance costs, etc. He
explained this project is primarily to produce green energy in Edmonds and to break even. In the
conservative budget they have outlined, they cannot afford to give away the entire amount of electricity.
Councilmember Petso pointed out in the agreement for the Kitsap School District project on the Poulsbo
Middle School, the School District will own the solar array in 2020. She asked if that would be
considered for this project. Mr. Florek advised a table of estimated fair market value for the equipment
was established. Under his understanding of the law, he could not guarantee the buyout cost in advance.
He had a potential difference of opinion based on advice from their legal counsel and viewed the School
District’s ownership of the system in 2020 as an aggressive stance.
Councilmember Buckshnis thanked Mr. Florek, Mr. Williams and Mr. Herman for meeting with her to
answer her questions. She relayed the following questions from citizens in order to get the answer on the
record:
• Describe the difference between a Co-op and an investor. Mr. Florek explained a cooperative is a
democratically governed corporation. Each member buys one regular share and they have one
vote for the life of the corporation. For example they could vote to discontinue use of Tangerine
Power. In a regular corporation, the number of dollars put into the project determines the number
of votes and financial reward. The goal of a co-op is to have each person have a voice in the
operation of the corporation.
• Would a person have 20 votes if they purchased 20 slices. Mr. Florek answered no, regardless of
the amount contributed, all members of the co-op have equal voting rights. The result is a fairly
even capital structure where people do not contribute more than they are comfortable giving up.
• Was he one of the people lobbying to include co-ops in the Washington State Community Solar
Project Investment Cost Recovery Incentive? Mr. Florek answered he was only one and nearly
lost at the last minute. Every other participant who designed the program said they would do
LLCs which security disclosure laws limit to 20 individuals per project. For a project like this,
each person would need to contribute $30,000. He wanted to make the program available to a
wider range of the population and cooperatives have special treatment under the law that allow an
unlimited number of participants.
• Is this a conflict of interest, his helping get the law passed and now helping the Co-op? Mr.
Florek answered it is a long term plan for helping more people make their own energy.
• Is the reason for a co-op for tax purposes? Mr. Florek answered it is a structure that aligns with
the values he would like to see regarding energy development and those resonated with
Sustainable Edmonds when they decided to contract with Tangerine.
• What happens to the panels when it snows? Mr. Florek answered the panels were designed for
off-grid applications. Unlike a lot of panels, they only have two horizontal rails, there is nothing
but glass on the top and bottom and as a result snow will slide off, unlike regular framed panels
where snow can stick.
Packet Page 18 of 313
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 22, 2011
Page 16
• With the 3 cents/KWh savings, the City pays 5 cents/KWH rather than 8 cents/KWh. Mr. Florek
answered every solar generated KWh the system produces will be provided to the City at the base
rate of 5 cents/KWh. Depending on PUD increases, the savings have the potential to increase.
• If the City spends $40,000/month for electricity at FAC, with solar generated energy, the City will
pay $38,000, a $2,000 savings. Mr. Florek agreed by leasing the solar panels, the City’s power
bill will be reduced. Councilmember Buckshnis noted in addition to being a demonstrative
project, the City also saves money.
• Is the $38,000 sent to Tangerine and distributed to the Co-op? Mr. Florek advised money flows
are straight to the Cooperative, the contracts are between the Cooperative and the City; Tangerine
is a facilitator of that process.
• With $38,000/month, the Co-op will break even in year 2-3. Mr. Williams explained the total
power bill for the FAC is $40,000/year not a month. The total savings over 10 years is estimated
to be $31,000-$32,000 or $3,000/year off a $40,000/year electric bill.
Councilmember Plunkett inquired about the roof warranty. Mr. Williams explained staff has been
investigating with the original installer of the roof on the FAC in 2008, Lynch Roofing, who used a
product from Soprema. The manufacturer underwrites the warranty on the roof which was originally for
10 years and there are approximately 7 years left on the warranty. There are mechanisms in the two
documents that provide guarantees from the Cooperative with regard to the warranty; however, staff also
wanted an indication from the manufacturer that installation of the panels would not void the warranty.
The manufacturer has provided an outline of what needs to be done in the design phase, installation and
inspection that would result in their honoring the warranty. He suggested if the Council chose to approve
the document, that caveat be included, that the installation be done such that the warranty is preserved.
Councilmember Plunkett asked if the Council was being asked to approve the documents tonight. Mr.
Williams answered yes. He explained the manufacturer is very interested in the way the ballasted frames
are put on the roof, what accommodation will be made for a pad, etc. if they are going to honor the
warranty. The manufacturer also wants to inspect the installation and if it is done correctly in accordance
with their guidance, they will honor the roof warranty for the balance of the term. Councilmember
Plunkett noted that would be done after the Council approved the agreement. Mr. Williams answered the
design did not need to be approved by the Council. He reiterated his suggestion that the Council include a
caveat in their approval that the project not proceed until the manufacturer agrees to honor the warranty.
He anticipated the City and the sponsors would be involved in the installation details. Councilmember
Plunkett observed if the Council approved the agreements tonight, staff will deal with the design and the
roof guarantee; it would not come back to the Council. Mr. Williams assured he was committed to not
allowing installation unless the warranty was protected.
Councilmember Plunkett asked City Attorney Taraday if the contract was one of his tasks. Mr. Taraday
answered no, this was one of the transition tasks assigned to Ogden Murphy Wallace. Councilmember
Plunkett expressed interest in including bonding in the contract. Mr. Herman explained with the insurance
the Co-op will take out, the City will be covered better with the panels than the City is now. The current
warranty only covers repairing the roof; it does not cover damage to the building, damage to contents,
loss of use, etc.
Council President Peterson asked whether the Council had approved final design of the FAC energy
retrofits or other technical building improvements. Mr. Williams answered generally not.
Council President Peterson asked how much oil from Libya or Iraq the solar panels would need and how
much pollution the panels would emit. Mr. Herman answered zero. Council President Peterson
commented the Council was getting hung up on the finances; this community solar project goes far
beyond the $249 lease payment and the few cent/KWh savings the City will realize. What Sustainable
Edmonds and the members of the Co-op have set up via this unique model says a lot about the Edmonds
Packet Page 19 of 313
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 22, 2011
Page 17
community. They believe Edmonds has enough individuals who will step up and make a statement about
the future of the community and the planet and won’t sit back and watch bombs go off on CNN and worry
about oil prices or watch pictures of nuclear reactors in Japan. Instead they will rely on proven
technologies that work. He urged the Council and the public not to lose sight of the fact that this was not
just about dollars and cents.
Council President Peterson relayed Councilmember Bernheim asked New Energy Cities to look at this
community solar project. At no cost to the City, New Energy Cities contracted with a Portland Company,
Blue Tree Strategies, who had no conflict of interest and is one of the most respected solar companies.
They reviewed the documents and are very excited about the opportunity. They acknowledge it will be
difficult to raise the money but specifically stated the liability to the City is extremely limited.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas agreed with most of Council President Peterson’s comments, but
stressed the Council has an obligation to ensure the citizens are protected. She referred to Mr. Hertrich’s
comments regarding the trees and the signs. Mr. Herman answered there is one tree on the southwest
corner that has been previously trimmed to the level they are requesting. He could not tell the species
because it has no leaves, but the trunk is less than 8 inches in diameter and the branches less than an inch
in diameter. The other trees that will need to be trimmed 4 feet are also less than 8 inches in diameter with
branches less an inch in diameter. If trimming the trees is a problem, they could install the panels on the
top center roof rather than starting on the south roof. Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite advised
Park Manager Rich Lindsay and Arborist Dave Timbrook have been to the site and looked at the trees.
These are trees the City continually maintains and trims annually. She assured staff had no concerns with
trimming the trees.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas inquired about signs. Mr. Florek answered if the City is interested in
providing signage, the contract would allow that to happen. If the City does not want to allow signs, that
section can be deleted. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if the Co-op planned to install signage. Mr.
Florek answered they had no specific plans for signage but wanted to leave that option open. Mr. Herman
advised they would like to put a kiosk inside the FAC that would show the output of the system. Any
signage would be educational.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETSO, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING FOR ONE HOUR. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Wilson commented the Council really wants to see a solar project happen but need to
figure out the details because there are few other models. He was irritated at the position he has been in
and will be for the foreseeable future because of contracts with liability resulting in extra expenditures for
the City. Those expenditures eat into his ability to put more cops on the street, ensure parks remain open,
etc. His concern was not the 3 cent/KWh savings, his concern was the potential downside liability. He had
concerns with a solar covenant but did not want to hinder the Co-op’s ability to make money. He feared
the Co-op could say a neighbor across the street could say one of their trees blocked the panels. Mr.
Herman said that was not possible, it was too far away. Councilmember Wilson summarized he has 10-12
concerns; they can be addressed by the full Council or in committee.
Councilmember Petso asked if the City needed to buy a liability policy or does WCIA already provide
coverage. Mr. Williams did not expect the City would purchase a liability policy. Mr. Florek recalled
there had been conversations about the City purchasing a liability policy and the answer was just as Mr.
Williams indicated.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if the City’s legal counsel had reviewed the contract. Mr.
Williams and Mr. Clifton indicated it had. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked what changes
Councilmember Wilson wanted to make. Councilmember Wilson commented it was good that the
Packet Page 20 of 313
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 22, 2011
Page 18
contract had been reviewed by the City’s legal counsel but it had not been reviewed by the Council. He
referred to page 13 of the Solar Power Service Agreement, Section 7.3 under temporary closure of the
premises, that states if for any reason they cannot get power because of something the City does such as
accidentally cutting a line or if the power goes out, the City is responsible for covering all their revenue
for that period. He commented the FAC is an old building and it is possible there could be an earthquake.
Although there is a Force Majeure clause, that clause also states the contract is set aside if there is an
earthquake except for the last line that states the occurrence and continuation of an event of Force
Majeure shall not suspend or excuse the obligation of a party to make any payments due hereunder.
Councilmember Wilson referred to language regarding limited penetrations in the roof on page 7 of the
primary agreement, advising it was his understanding there would be no penetrations in the roof. Even
though it has been stated there would be no penetrations, the contract allows for limited penetration. He
assumed those were for wires and cables for transmission purposes but feared penetrations would void the
roof warranty. Mr. Florek explained one of the issues they became aware of since the last Council
meeting is that seismic codes may demand a limited number of penetrations at the end points. Engineers
and building inspectors will define those requirements. The language was included recognizing that
reality. Councilmember Wilson observed the language was not because they foresee having holes in the
roof but because seismic codes may require the language. Mr. Florek answered yes, noting those were the
type of diligence issues that an engineering review and solar design process will unearth.
Councilmember Wilson advised he could review his 10 or so concerns or raise them in another venue.
Mayor Cooper advised that was a policy decision. The contracts presented tonight were negotiated by Mr.
Williams and Mr. Snyder based on the Council’s requests the last time the contracts were reviewed.
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT
PETERSON, TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO ENTER INTO THE SITE AGREEMENT AND
THE ENERGY SERVICES CONTRACT.
Councilmember Bernheim said he wholeheartedly supported Mr. Freeman and Mr. Cloutier’s remarks. As
a Councilmember, he was very excited about getting this project off the ground, demonstrating to the
community and the rest of the country that there are ways to generate electricity other than nuclear power
which is 7% of the Snohomish PUD mix. He was opposed to nuclear power, finding it too dangerous and
because of the difficult disposing of the waste. He disagreed with the statement that the return would be
better for investors than the City, noting the City’s investment is zero. The City is providing the roof but
the roof is otherwise unused. The Co-op members who contribute $1,000 each are the people who deserve
the return because they are contributing to the project.
Councilmember Bernheim explained he installed solar panels on his garage and they supply about half his
electrical needs over the year. The panels cost $25,000 and he did it because he likes not using nuclear
power. He also minimizes his use of petroleum power and suggested everyone do what they can to reduce
the use of polluting fuels like petrochemicals that cause disease, pollution and war. He noted the damage
to the Japanese nuclear reactors is not a one in a million chance; it was caused by an earthquake. Synergy
installed his solar panels, they were on budget and on time and everything was done to an extremely high
level of confidence. The very kind-hearted, public spirited, generous, intelligent people in the Co-op are
saying give us your roof and we will sell you cheaper power than you can buy from PUD. To the concern
about voiding the roof warranty, the manufacturer has provided guidance to prevent voiding the warranty.
Councilmember Bernheim commented if the City had $750,000 they could do the project themselves. To
the comment that no one wants to lose money, he assured the City would not lose money and would
benefit by clean energy. To the comment that the citizens’ interest need to be protected, Councilmember
Bernheim said a yes vote on the motion was a way to protect the citizens’ interest by showing them solar
energy can work. He acknowledged the solar panels did not make a lot of power; at full capacity this
Packet Page 21 of 313
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 22, 2011
Page 19
project would supply approximately half the annual needs of the FAC. The project will support the solar
industry and increasing demand for solar panels will help drive down the cost of production. He preferred
to address any concerns with the contract tonight. He supported the contracts as proposed.
Councilmember Plunkett agreed with most of Councilmember Bernheim’s comments and appreciated his
passion. He doubted there was opposition to the concept but there are concerns with the City’s liability.
He noted the City sometimes pays a price for good intentions due to liabilities. He wanted to see the
documents regarding the roof warranty, noting the Council was ultimately accountable to the voters. He
agreed with Mr. Williams’ suggestion to include language regarding the roof warranty in the contract. He
was also interested in the Co-op being bonded. He was interested in resolving the liability issues. He
wanted to hear Councilmember Wilson’s concerns before he would be ready to vote on the contract.
Council President Peterson referred to the construction deadline, noting this issue has been before the
Council a number of times and Mr. Williams and Mr. Snyder, Tangerine put a considerable amount of
time into the contract. An outside agency that New Energy Cities contracted stated, “from the city’s side
of the deal, the solar energy services agreement and lease appear reasonable and adequate to ensure that
no significant out-of-pocket expense is incurred by the city in the event that the cooperative is unable to
perform.” The Council can review the contract as seven complete novices to solar contracts or look to
staff who has spent countless hours reviewing the contracts, a contractor who has been hired by a group
of Edmonds citizens who is a professional or if there is a conspiracy, look to an outside independent
agency that is nationally known for solar projects. He agreed the Council needed to do its due diligence
but one way of doing that was to rely on professionals. There are an incredible array of professional
opinions on this issue and every department director is supportive of this project.
With regard to the issue of the roof warranty, Council President Peterson acknowledged it is unknown
whether the roof warranty will be honored until the design is complete. The Co-op will not spend the
money on design unless they know they have a space for the panels. If the design negates the roof
warranty, it will not be approved. By approving the contracts, the Council is not saying the project is
100% go ahead; it gives the Co-op the opportunity to provide a design that answers the Council’s
questions. He was flabbergasted that many of the questions had not been raised previously; the contract
had been before the Council and there has been ample opportunity to get feedback from staff.
Councilmember Wilson expressed concern with the condescending tone of Council President Peterson’s
remarks. This is the second time the Council has seen the contracts. The first 75 minutes the Council had
the contracts previously was a presentation by Tangerine that could have been provided in writing. There
was much of that again tonight. He appreciated the work Tangerine has done. With regard to the review
by an outside agency, they do not represent the Council or the community and he will not abdicate his
responsibility to an outside group. His concern is not the liability the City would incur if the Co-op did
not do their job, he was confident they could do their job. His concern is the liability the City incurs if the
City cannot hold up its end of the bargain. He noted the FAC is about to fall down, held together with
bailing wire and duct tape. His concern is if the FAC becomes incapacitated in any way, the City has a 10
year revenue liability to the Co-op. This is not about Libya or Japan, he only wanted to limit the potential
downside. He would not offer his amendments and would reluctantly vote against the motion even though
he agreed 100% in principle.
Councilmember Petso commented she was not previously aware of the deadline or the outside opinion
and she learned tonight that this project is completely different than the Kitsap County project. She
assured there were citizens who will ask why the Kitsap School District gets $2,000/year lease and
Edmonds settles for $250 and why Kitsap County will own their solar array at the end of 10 years. She
would appreciate time to be educated about information not included in the packet and to consider the
new information provided tonight.
Packet Page 22 of 313

Page 20
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas expressed interest in proceeding. She has had an opportunity to review
the packet since Friday and has obtained clarity on items she did not understand. She has received
numerous telephone calls regarding issues that have now been answered to her satisfaction. She
understood Councilmember Wilson’s concern regarding liability and Councilmember Plunkett’s interest
in bonding the project. She suggested approving the contracts tonight so that the design can proceed and
adding the building liability and bonding to the contract.
Council President Peterson apologized if his tone was condescending, commenting it was from a sense of
frustration. With regard to the third party review, he noted it was important to have a fresh set of eyes but
City staff also supports it and he trusts staff. He supported the Council moving forward tonight, noting
many of the concerns would be addressed in final design. If the concerns expressed are not addressed in
final design, he had faith staff would either bring it back to Council or work it out with the Co-op. He
summarized this is not the final step in the process; it is an important step to get to design and when some
of the remaining questions will be answered.
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BUCKSHNIS, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO HAVE THE ISSUES OF LIABILITY OF THE
BUILDING TOWARD THE CITY, THE BONDING AND THE ROOF WARRANTY ADDRESSED
IN THE FINAL CONTRACT BEFORE IT IS SIGNED BY THE MAYOR.
Mayor Cooper referred to bonding and suggested the Council indicate a bond amount. Mr. Williams
asked if it was a bond to cover the cost of removing the system from the roof and restoring the roof.
Councilmember Plunkett advised that was his intent. Mr. Williams advised that would be a fairly small
bond and was largely addressed in the agreement. Councilmember Plunkett asked if the contract referred
to a bonding agency or just the willingness for a cash reserve. He was not interested in a cash reserve, and
preferred a bond. Mr. Williams advised the contract provided the option of a bond or cash reserve. He
noted on construction projects, it is the contractor’s choice whether to put up a bond or a cash reserve.
That is the way this agreement is worded.
Councilmember Bernheim referred to Alternatives on page 5 of the agreement, reserve for removal,
Grantee shall furnish and maintain a cash reserve in the form approved by the grantor for the purpose of
covering all costs associated with removal of the facility. He requested that language be included in the
contract. Mr. Herman advised they had no problem putting the money anywhere the council wished but
they preferred not to pay a bonding company for something that is honestly not going to happen.
Councilmember Plunkett commented many of the things that are honestly not going to happen do happen.
He referred to a surety bond. He would rely on Mr. Williams, Ogden Murphy Wallace or Lighthouse to
tell the Council what is equivalent to a surety bond that provides the greatest protection to the City. Mr.
Williams commented cash in an account for a specific purpose that covered the amount at risk was the
ultimate protection for the City.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented this is a difficult decision for the Council who has had numerous
discussions in executive session regarding liability for the City. She was fortunate to spend two hours
with Mr. Williams, Mr. Florek and Mr. Herman having her questions answered. She agreed the City’s
liability could be considered during the design.
THE VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT CARRIED (5-2), COUNCILMEMBERS PLUNKETT AND
WILSON VOTING NO.
Mr. Taraday clarified the motion was to authorize the Mayor to approve the contract after further review
by legal counsel and staff. Issues to be addressed include, 1) the roof warranty, 2) the bond/escrow/money
set aside and 3) Councilmember Wilson’s concern about liability for making payments for an extended
Packet Page 23 of 313

period of time if something happened to the building. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas advised that was
the intent of her amendment.
Councilmember Plunkett asked if the intent of the main motion was for the revised contract to be returned
to the Council. Mayor Cooper advised that was not the way the amendment was worded. If the Council
wants the agreement to come to the Council on the Consent Agenda for final approval, the Council
needed to request that.
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO HAVE THE COUNCIL SEE THE FINAL VERSION
ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.
Councilmember Bernheim recognized the FAC is an old building but he has never heard any public safety
concern about the building collapsing while it is in use.
THE VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
THE VOTE ON THE MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER
PETSO VOTING NO.
Mayor Cooper advised final adoption of the agreements will be on the April 5 agenda.
7. EDMONDS PUBLIC FACILITIES DISTRICT / EDMONDS CENTER FOR THE ARTS
QUARTERLY REPORT.
Edmonds Public Facilities District (EPFD) Board Chair John McGibbon explained the EPFD is the
governing body for the Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA). He expressed the Board’s appreciation to the
Council for 9½ years of unstinting support in the creation and development of a valuable community
asset. He recognized Stephen Clifton, Cindi Cruz, and Frances Chapin for their support over the years. He
also recognized the members of the Council who have served as Council liaison to the EPFD Board;
Councilmember Petso is the current liaison. He recognized the other EPFD Board members: Bob
Rinehart, Terry Vehrs, Mike Popke, and Maria Montalvo. He invited Councilmembers and the Mayor to
have a guided tour of the ECA.
Chair McGibbon also expressed the EPFD’s appreciation for the volunteers who donate their time,
performing myriad tasks. Although the EPFD board members are volunteers, they are a hands-on group
that works closely with the ECA Executive Director Joe McIalwain.
Mr. McIalwain reviewed ECA programs and services:
• Presenting Season (21 shows this year)
o Four of ECA’s last five presentations sold 90% or better (Al Stewart, Second City, Spike &
the Impalers, and Vicky Lawrence)

Mr. McIalwain acknowledged the ECA’s Operations Manager, Jeff Vaughan who has done an incredible
job building the rental business in recent months. Mr. McIalwain commented on recent successes:
• Video monitors installed in ECA Lobby for promotion of upcoming events, recognition of
sponsors/donors and advertising opportunities
• Volunteer intern support for event management and new business development
• Improvements made in accounting system to aid in quality and efficiency of reporting
• New connections in the community showing interest in sponsorship
Mr. McIalwain invited Councilmembers and the Mayor to attend Center Stage on Wednesday, April 20
where the 5th anniversary season will be announced and there will be an opportunity for those in
attendance to become sponsors of ECA presentations.
Mr. McIalwain reviewed operating performance:
Revenue 2011 Budget 2011 YTD
Ticket Sales $430,000 $163,485
Rental Revenue $328,820 $61,825
Other Earned Revenue $87,000 $31,300

Mr. McIalwain reviewed the sales tax revenue streams the PFD receives:
• A) Direct Local-Level Sales Tax Rebate
o Covers a portion of the 2002 Bond Issue
• B) “TIER 1” County-Level Sales Tax Rebate
o Covers the remainder of the 2002 Bond Issue
• C) “TIER 2” County-Level Sales Tax Rebate
o Intended to cover 2008 Bond Issue
o Original revenues projected to exceed $200,000 annually
o Economic crisis resulted in 90% reduction in revenues from Tier 2 rebate
o Unrealized funding source, cause of capital revenue shortfall

Bond Payments Due $682,863 $706,763
Net Balance ($211,788) ($210,943)
Mr. McIalwain reviewed proposed solutions:
• Edmonds PFD Board and Staff are actively pursuing new revenue streams and improving
operating performance to help meet future bond debt obligations
• Snohomish County Lodging Tax Funds –Snohomish County Councilmembers Sullivan and
Wright indicated the Snohomish County Strategic Tourism Plan emphasizes aviation, sports and
not arts/culture. It will be difficult for the EPFD to access those funds for ongoing support. There
will be opportunity to access funds on a one-time grant basis to help support operations or new
programs
• Extension of PFD Legislation (possible refinance) – did not reach the House floor this year. The
bill is anticipated to be back over the next 2-3 years
• Building Sponsorship
• Impact of Economic Recovery - unknown
• Improved Operating Performance – Net Revenues to Capital
Mr. McIalwain summarized there is a great team comprised of the EPFD Board, the ECA Board and
Steering Committee that is comprised of members of both Boards. He assured they were working hard to
meet the challenges.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO EXTEND THE MEETING FOR 20 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented last year’s deficit was $100,000 and this year’s and next year’s is
projected to be $200,000 but it was her understanding things were looking better. Mr. McIalwain advised
these same numbers were presented to the Council in October. Councilmember Buckshnis asked if the
less than anticipated Tier 2 funds were the reason for the shortfall. Mr. McIalwain agreed that was the
issue. With the economic downturn, the EPFD lost approximately $190,000/year in Tier 2 funds. Growth
anticipated in the local sales tax revenue also did not occur. If the Tier 2 funds were received in the
amount anticipated and there was growth in the local sales tax revenue, there would not be a shortfall.
Councilmember Wilson commented he thought very highly of Mr. McIalwain, noting the EPFD did a
good job hiring and retaining talent. His fundamental concern was this structure of government did not
exist elsewhere in the State – a PFD Board to collect sales tax and administer the District and another
Board constituted as a fundraising arm with programmatic input. In nearly every other PFD, the PFD
contracts with another entity and there is a separation. EPFD Chair John McGibbon explained the EPFD
Board’s charter from the City was to create and to operate the ECA. To expedite fundraising, a 501(c)(3),
ECA, was created. Although the PFD is non-profit, it could not effectively solicit contributions from
organizations unwilling to do business with anyone other than a 501(c)(3). To provide incentive, the ECA
Packet Page 26 of 313
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 22, 2011
Page 24
Board has been integrated into the operation of the ECA, they populate the committees that are key in
operating the facility, serve on the Steering Committee and sit in on EPFD Board meetings. He
summarized the buck stops with the EPFD Board because that is their charter. He asked what problem
Councilmember Wilson saw with the structure.
Councilmember Wilson answered from the EPFD Board’s perspective there was not a problem because
the EPFD Board did not have to pay the capital bill that the City was responsible for. As a
Councilmember he felt there was a problem. The fundamental charter of the EPFD is to manage the
capital side. Chair McGibbon advised the fundamental charter of the EPFD Board is to manage
operations. Councilmember Wilson advised the reason the EPFD exists is to collect sales tax to go toward
the facility. Chair McGibbon added it is toward the development of the facility, the renovation of the old
high school and the operation of the facility.
Councilmember Wilson commented the EPFD was having success on the operational side which speaks
to the vision of the Board and talent of the staff. There is a shortfall on the capital side beyond the control
of the EPFD or City Council. There is a moral hazard created when the EPFD Board does not have the
responsibility for covering the capital shortfall. He recognized the EPFD Board and staff felt a moral
responsibility to cover the capital shortfall. Chair McGibbon commented it was a joint responsibility; the
EPFD assumed the responsibility to fulfill the financial obligation, to sell the bonds. There have been two
bond sales; in order to sell those bonds, the City had to underwrite them. Councilmember Wilson clarified
they were the City’s bonds.
Chair McGibbon advised by charter the City’s Finance Director is the Treasurer and an ex-offico member
of the EPFD. It was the decision of the City’s Finance Director with the concurrence of City government
that the bonds would be sold in that manner. Councilmember Wilson appreciated Chair McGibbon and
Board Member Rinehart for attending tonight’s meeting. He was disappointed no board members
attended the meeting when the Council was told the City needed to come up with $100,000. Chair
McGibbon pointed out the Council knew the conditions of the bond sale and that City underwrote the
bonds. That information was presented to the City Council by the Finance Director at the time the bonds
were sold. Councilmember Wilson responded it took a month for the Council to identify a way to pay the
EPFD bond. At a LTAC meeting attended by Mr. McIalwain and Ms. Chapin, a way to allocate $100,000
was developed to pay the bond. Tonight’s presentation did not point out that the City is responsible for a
$50,000 bond payment on May 1. He recalled when he stated last year that the Council needed to budget
for $200,000 in 2011, he was told by one of the EPFD Board Members that he was spreading
misinformation.
Councilmember Wilson asked what the problem was if there is not a structural problem. He viewed it as a
moral hazard problem, not just the economy. There is not “stick” for the EPFD because the City will pick
up the bill. Chair McGibbon responded when the bonds were sold, a presentation was made to the City
Council by the Finance Director who also had a role with the EPFD Board. To the extent there is
confusion on the Council’s part, he apologized, noting there had not been any deception at any point in
time. Councilmember Wilson assured he was not accusing anyone of deception. He asked whether anyone
else in the room knew that a bond payment was due on May 1. He looked to the EPFD Board to help him
understand what he could do to help them be successful. He was willing to remove the capital liability
from the EPFD and campaign in a levy for funds to cover the EPFD bond. But in exchange, there would
need to be some structural change including the EPFD giving the City the responsibility to manage the
EPFD and the EPFD contracting with a programming agency.
Councilmember Wilson asked if the EPFD was open to changing the structure to a model that was more
sustainable. Chair McGibbon answered he was open to anything that would work the problem but did not
think it could be discussed in a meaningful manner tonight. Councilmember Wilson suggested scheduling
another meeting before the May 1 bond payment. He noted according to the Interlocal Agreement, the
Packet Page 27 of 313
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 22, 2011
Page 25
$25,000 profit so far this year will go toward the initial payment. He was willing to figure out a way for
the EPFD to keep a portion of that so they could continue to grow in a difficult climate but he did not
want to be told he was spreading misinformation and he wanted assurance that the EPFD Board was
willing to eliminate the moral hazard.
Chair McGibbon was uncertain what Councilmember Wilson meant by moral hazard. He explained there
was an arrangement that was understood by all the parties related to the sale of the bonds. The challenges
the EPFD faces as a result of the economic downturn have been fully explained. The EPFD Board
Members are volunteers committed to making the ECA work and to date have done a reasonably good job
creating and operating the facility. He welcomed Councilmember Wilson’s ideas for improving what the
EPFD does. He summarized the bonds were sold with the understanding there was a revenue stream to
cover the debt service but because it was understood that problems can arise, it was necessary for the City
to underwrite the debt service. The primary problem is the economic downturn. The EPFD is doing its
best to address the problem and negate the effects.
Mayor Cooper suggested scheduling further discussion at a future Council meeting.
Councilmember Wilson concluded it was essentially a communication issue. The City has a new
administration with a different way of informing and working with Council. Chair McGibbon welcomed
Councilmember Wilson’s suggestions.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING FOR 20 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
PFD Board Member Bob Rinehart advised they have invited Councilmember Wilson to discuss the issue.
The EPFD Board is not trying to relinquish its responsibility and they are working hard to address the
challenges. He reiterated Chair McGibbon’s comments about the role and involvement of the ECA Board.
They are asked to do a great deal and they bring a great deal of expertise that the EPFD Board Members
do not necessarily have. That model makes the EPFD Board far more effective.
8. COUNCIL REPORTS ON OUTSIDE COMMITTEE/BOARD MEETINGS
Councilmember Petso reported she met with the EPFD this morning. She was certain the EPFD Board
and/or ECA staff would follow-up with Councilmember Wilson and other Councilmembers prior to the
next scheduled meeting.
Councilmember Plunkett reported the Historic Preservation Commission considered the solar panels on
the FAC. A Certificate of Appropriateness will be required if the project proceeds.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas reported the Snohomish Health District presented an award to the
condominium building at 960 5th Avenue for being the first non-smoking condominium in Snohomish
County. On March 26, all the Red Robins in the State of Washington are having a Special Olympics Tip a
Cop day. The Edmonds Police Department will be serving at the Lynnwood Red Robin; tips given to the
Police Officers will be donated to Special Olympics. She encouraged the public to visit a Red Robin on
Saturday.
Councilmember Bernheim advised the Port held their meeting tonight. He was unable to attend the
SeaShore Transportation Forum as he attended Mayor Cooper’s annual report presentation.
Councilmember Buckshnis reported WRIA 8 moved the daylighting of Willow Creek from the 10 year
start list to the 3-year work plan recommendation. She reported the Economic Development Commission
reviewed what they wanted to look at next. They plan to consider the formed based code.

9. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Cooper reported Council President Peterson and his trip to Washington DC went well and they
accomplished a great deal. He advised staff has been in constant communication with Hekinan, Japan.
They came through the earthquake well. He invited everyone to keep Japan in their thoughts and prayers.
At this time there are still plans to send the student delegation to Hekinan in July and have visitors from
Hekinan in August.
10. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Bernheim thanked everyone for their efforts on the solar installation, anticipating it
would move forward productively. He will draft and present to the Council President a proposal to
exempt solar panels from the City’s height limits so that they could be installed on top of buildings that
are at or near the height limit.
Councilmember Wilson advised the City has been asked to participate in the First Lady’s anti childhood
obesity initiative, Let’s Move. Typically the Mayor simply needs to sign up and does not need Council
approval. Mayor Cooper agreed to allow him to be the lead due to his relationship with the Regional
Director of Health and Human Services. He will present a resolution to the Council on the Consent
Agenda.
Council President Peterson reported the First Lady spoke at the convention in Washington DC. He
reiterated the trip to Washington DC was not paid for with City funds.

Approval of a site lease for roof space on the Frances Anderson Center and an Energy Services
Agreement with the Edmonds Community Solar Cooperative to facilitate construction of a 75 KW
community solar energy system. Authorization for the Mayor to sign these agreements in substantially
the same form as presented.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Mayor and staff recommend approval of the submitted agreements and ask that authorization be given to
the Mayor to sign them on behalf of the City in substantially the same form as presented.
Previous Council Action
On March 22, 2011, Council recommended that this item be forwarded to the consent agenda, with
several changes. Specific changes are outlined in the following section.
This project and drafts of these agreements were previously presented to Council for review and
discussion on October 5th, 2010 and January 18th, 2011. No action was asked for and none has been
taken to date. Council has given direction to staff to seek alterations in the draft contract language. Those
concerns will be addressed in the revised agreements to be reviewed with Council at the April 5th
meeting.
Narrative
The Edmonds Community Solar Cooperative (ECSC) was formed to sponsor and develop a Community
Solar Project in the City of Edmonds. The group includes a number of members of Sustainable Edmonds
where the original discussions of this project were initiated. The Cooperative was formed to separately
pursue the project. The Cooperative approached the City of Edmonds to see whether the City had a
suitable location to locate the project and a willingness to do so. City Staff and the Cooperative agreed
the Frances Anderson Center (FAC) would be a good location with its physical setting, unencumbered
roof spaces, and readily available opportunities to educate both adults and youth on the topics of solar
power, energy conservation, carbon emissions, and other topics.
The site lease and Energy Services Agreement create a partnership between the City of Edmonds and the
ECSC to locate up to 375 solar panels and up to 18 inverters (up to 75 KW capacity) on the five lower
roofs at FAC. The term of these agreements extends to July, 2020. The City will receive a nominal rent
payment of $249 per year. The City will also buy electrical power from the project at an initial rate of 5
cents/KWH escalating at 3% per year. The City would have the option to purchase the entire installation
at its fair market value at any time after the first six years of operation. The estimated cost to purchase is
$75,000 after ten years.
The site lease and the Energy Services Agreement are attached in a strikeout/underline version to
illustrate how the agreements responded to earlier comments and questions since the previous Council
Packet Page 127 of 313
meetings, and include the changes requested by Council on March 22nd. Also attached are a summary of
changes in the agreements since they were reviewed by the Council at the January 18th and March 22nd
meeting, and an FAQ which responds to these and other questions received about the project.
The changes that Council requested at the March 22nd, 2011 meeting include: 1) revisions to the City's
financial liability to the Solar Cooperative for lost revenue in the event the City choses to create an
avoidable shutdown of the solar system, 2) provisions for a cash reserve or bond to cover the cost of
removal of the solar system and restoration of city facilities in the event of default by the Cooperative, 3)
Clarifying that a Certificate of Appropriateness issued by the Edmonds Historical Preservation
Committee is required to be obtained by the Coop prior to any physical construction of the project or the
agreements are voided, and 4) The City's existing roof warranty on the FAC roofs must not be voided by
the project. Written confirmation from the manufacturer that the remaining seven years of roof warranty
will be preserved is required before any on-site construction of the system or the agreements will be
voided.
Fiscal Impact
Fiscal Year:2011 Revenue:$249 Expenditure:
Fiscal Impact:
The City is scheduled to recieve $249/year in a lease payment for the roof space used by the Cooperative
(ECSC) on the Francis Anderson Center
The City is estimated to save approx. $31,000 in electrical energy costs during the 10-year lease by
buying power at reduced rates initially and with likely a lower escalator than will be available from
SnoPud over the ten-year period.

{WSS840944.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 3
2.3.2 Park in designated areas on the Property;
2.3.3 Access the Project Area (including but not limited to access for lifting,
rigging, and material-handling equipment), and access the SEF on, over, and across the Project
Area; and
2.3.4 Construct, install, maintain, repair, and remove the SEF on the Premises in
the manner specifically set forth in the Solar Services Agreement; provided, however, that
Lessee will not unreasonably interfere with Lessor’s use, operation, or maintenance of the
Property, the Premises, or any portion thereof.
2.4 Solar Covenant. Lessor hereby covenants to provide for the free passage of solar
radiation to the SEF. Any obstruction to the passage of direct solar radiation across the Premises
to the SEF by Lessor or a tenant or assignee of Lessor is prohibited. Except as specified on
Attached Exhibit A, trees, structures, and improvements located on the Property as of the
Effective Date shall be allowed to remain, and Lessee may not require their removal. Trees
shown on Exhibit Ashall be maintained at and trimmed to the height shown on said Exhibit.
Lessor shall not place or plant any trees, structures, or improvements on the Property after the
Effective Date that may, in Lessee’s sole judgment, impede or interfere with the passage of
direct solar radiation to the SEF, unless Lessor has received prior written approval from Lessee
for any such trees, structures, or improvements. Lessee and Lessor further agree to execute and
record such instruments or addenda to this Agreement as may be required under applicable State
or local law to evidence the solar covenant made in this Section 2.4.
3. Term; Termination. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date
and shall expire on July 1, 2020 (the “Term”); provided however, unless Lessor has exercised its
Buyout Option under Section 7.6 of the Solar Services Agreement, Lessee’s right to access the
Premises shall survive for a period of sixty (60) days following the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement for the sole purpose of removing the SEF from the Premises.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if construction of the SEF does not commence
on or before October 1, 2011, this Agreement shall terminate by its terms and shall be of no
further force or effect, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. All construction and
installation activities associated with the SEF shall be completed on or before December 31,
2012. Failure to complete construction and install shall trigger a default. Upon the expiration or
earlier termination of the Solar Services Agreement, Lessee shall quitclaim and surrender to
Lessor all of Lessee’s right, title, and interest in and to the Premises by executing and recording a
quitclaim deed or other instrument evidencing the termination of this Agreement.

Agreement in the real property records of Snohomish County, Washington.
5. The Lessee shall also pay leasehold excise tax if required by Chapter 82.29A RCW as
now stated or hereafter amended. For purposes of leasehold excise tax, taxable rent for the lease
Packet Page 131 of 313
{WSS840944.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 4
space/area has been determined to be $249 per year. The leasehold excise tax rate at the time of
execution of this agreement is 12.84%. The maximum rent Lessor may pay for a 75kW solar
power system is $249 per year. 82.29A.130 (8) states that leasehold interests for which annual
taxable rent is less than two hundred fifty dollars per year are exempt from Leasehold Exchise
Tax As a result, Lessee shall also pay the Lessor $0.00 per year in leasehold excise tax during the
duration of the lease. Both taxable rent and leasehold excise tax rate shall be revised
accordingly, if necessary, as a result of any amendment to Chapter 82.29A RCW and/or
determination by any agency collecting or enforcing leasehold excise tax that additional amounts
are owed. Lessee shall be responsible for and pay all past due leasehold excise tax, plus interest
and penalties, if any, and all future leasehold excise tax owed under this agreement as
determined by said agency pursuant to Chapter 82.29A RCW.
6. Additional Rights of Lessee.
6.1 Temporary Construction Laydown Area. Lessor shall make available within the
Project Area a temporary location for the assemblage of materials to construct, erect, and install
the SEF (such area, a “Laydown Area”) for a period not to exceed twenty (20) business days.

Services Agreement, to install, route, and maintain electrical wiring from the SEF to the
Property. Structural evaluation will be provided by a licensed engineer. Any and all changes or
deviations from approved plans and specifications set forth in the Solar Services Agreement shall
require written notification to Lessor and Lessor’s written prior approval, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld. Lessee shall provide to Lessor a construction schedule, and
Lessee and Lessor shall coordinate construction of the SEF so as to minimize disruption to the
Property, the Premises, and Lessor’s activities thereon.
7.2 Acknowledgment of Lessor. Lessor hereby consents to the construction of the
SEF solely in accordance with the plans and specifications set forth on the attached Exhibit B.
Lessor has provided data to Lessee concerning the construction, specifications, and condition of

maintain the SEF and the Project Area in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances,
orders, and regulations of all governmental agencies.
8.2 Clean Condition. Lessee shall not unreasonably clutter the Premises or the
Project Area, and shall collect and dispose of any and all of Lessee’s refuse and trash.
8.3 Security. Lessee shall provide all security measures that Lessor determines are or
may be reasonably necessary for the SEF. Such measures may, but will not necessarily, include
warning signs, closed and locked doors or gates, and other measures appropriate and reasonable
to protect against damage or destruction of the SEF or injury or damage to persons or property
resulting from the SEF and Operations. Lessee acknowledges that the Premises are part of a
public building complex and no security measure taken by Lessee to secure the SEF on the
Premises shall restrict public access to public areas or services on the Property.
9. Lessor’s Representations and Warranties.
9.1 Authority; No Third-Party Rights. Lessor represents and warrants to Lessee that
there are no circumstances known to Lessor and no commitments to third parties that may
damage, impair, or otherwise adversely affect the SEF or its function by blocking sunlight to the
SEF. Lessor covenants that Lessor has lawful title to the Property and full right to enter into this
Agreement.
9.2 No Interference. Lessor hereby agrees, for itself, its agents, employees,
representatives, successors, and assigns, that it will not initiate or conduct activities that it knows
or reasonably should know may damage, impair, or otherwise adversely affect the SEF or its
functions, including without limitation activities that may adversely affect the SEF’s exposure to
sunlight. Lessor further covenants for itself and its agents, employees, representatives,
successors, and assigns that it will not (i) materially interfere with or prohibit the free and
complete use and enjoyment by Lessee of its rights granted under this Agreement; (ii) take any
action that will materially interfere with the availability and accessibility of solar radiation over
and above the Premises; (iii) take any action that will or may materially interfere with the

shadow on the SEF; or (vi) take any action that may impair Lessee’s access to any portion of the
SEF.
9.3 SEF Property of Lessee; Transfer of the Property. Lessor acknowledges and
agrees that Lessee is the exclusive owner and operator of the SEF, that no portion or component
of the SEF is a fixture, and that the SEF may not be sold, leased, assigned, mortgaged, pledged,
or otherwise alienated or encumbered with the conveyance of any fee or leasehold interest in or
to the Property (any such conveyance, a “Transfer”). Lessor shall give Lessee at least ten (10)
Business Days’ written notice prior to any Transfer of all or any portion of the Property. Any
such notice shall identify the transferee, the portion of the Property to be transferred, and the

Narrative
The total area of the 5 roofs (3 of SW classroom wing (7296 sf) & 2 due south of tall
building section (2730 sf)) that we need for the arrays is 10,026 sq. ft.
We will not be able to use all of it due to some side shading from the tall section, south
shading by the clerestory on the northernmost classroom roof and some mechanical
features but we need to have use of it all for staging and wiring and access.
There are 5 trees on the south side of the classroom wing, numbered 1-5 starting at the
west end and moving east.
Tree 1 is 10' from the building and sticks up approximately 10' above the roof. It needs to
be trimmed to no more than 3'6" above the roof which means trimming approximately 6' off
the top. It has been previously trimmed to that level.
Tree 2 is 5' from the building and sticks up approximately 6' above the roof. It needs to be
trimmed to no more than 1'6" above the roof which means trimming approximately 4' off
the top.
Trees 3,4,5 are 17' from the building and stick up approximately 6' above the roof and do
not require trimming but will need to be maintained at that level to avoid shading the
southernmost solar array on the classroom wing.
All 5 trees are small and will not be difficult to trim or maintain.

accordance with Lessee’s plans and design pre-approved by Lessor in accordance with the Solar
Services Agreement (collectively, “Operations”).
Packet Page 146 of 313
{WSS840944.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 3
2.3.2 Park in designated areas on the Property;
2.3.3 Access the Project Area (including but not limited to access for lifting,
rigging, and material-handling equipment), and access the SEF on, over, and across the Project
Area; and
2.3.4 Construct, install, maintain, repair, and remove the SEF on the Premises in
the manner specifically set forth in the Solar Services Agreement; provided, however, that
Lessee will not unreasonably interfere with Lessor’s use, operation, or maintenance of the
Property, the Premises, or any portion thereof.
2.4 Solar Covenant. Lessor hereby covenants to provide for the free passage of solar
radiation to the SEF. Any obstruction to the passage of direct solar radiation across the Premises
to the SEF by Lessor or a tenant or assignee of Lessor is prohibited. Except as specified on
Attached Exhibit A, trees, structures, and improvements located on the Property as of the
Effective Date shall be allowed to remain, and Lessee may not require their removal. Trees
shown on Exhibit Ashall be maintained at and trimmed to the height shown on said Exhibit.
Lessor shall not place or plant any trees, structures, or improvements on the Property after the
Effective Date that may, in Lessee’s sole judgment, impede or interfere with the passage of
direct solar radiation to the SEF, unless Lessor has received prior written approval from Lessee
for any such trees, structures, or improvements. Lessee and Lessor further agree to execute and
record such instruments or addenda to this Agreement as may be required under applicable State
or local law to evidence the solar covenant made in this Section 2.4.
3. Term; Termination. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date
and shall expire on July 1, 2020 (the “Term”); provided however, unless Lessor has exercised its
Buyout Option under Section 7.6 of the Solar Services Agreement, Lessee’s right to access the
Premises shall survive for a period of sixty (60) days following the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement for the sole purpose of removing the SEF from the Premises.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if construction of the SEF does not commence
on or before October 1, 2011, this Agreement shall terminate by its terms and shall be of no
further force or effect, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. All construction and
installation activities associated with the SEF shall be completed on or before December 31,
2012. Failure to complete construction and install shall trigger a default. Upon the expiration or
earlier termination of the Solar Services Agreement, Lessee shall quitclaim and surrender to
Lessor all of Lessee’s right, title, and interest in and to the Premises by executing and recording a
quitclaim deed or other instrument evidencing the termination of this Agreement.
4. Rent and Leasehold Excise Tax. As consideration for the rights and interests granted by
Lessor under this Agreement, Lessee shall pay Lessor the amounts set forth on the rent schedule
attached to this Agreement and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Rent Schedule”).
Lessor and Lessee agree that the Rent Schedule shall be redacted for purposes of recording this
Agreement in the real property records of Snohomish County, Washington.
5. The Lessee shall also pay leasehold excise tax if required by Chapter 82.29A RCW as
now stated or hereafter amended. For purposes of leasehold excise tax, taxable rent for the lease
Packet Page 147 of 313
{WSS840944.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 4
space/area has been determined to be $249 per year. The leasehold excise tax rate at the time of
execution of this agreement is 12.84%. The maximum rent Lessor may pay for a 75kW solar
power system is $249 per year. 82.29A.130 (8) states that leasehold interests for which annual
taxable rent is less than two hundred fifty dollars per year are exempt from Leasehold Exchise
Tax As a result, Lessee shall also pay the Lessor $0.00 per year in leasehold excise tax during the
duration of the lease. Both taxable rent and leasehold excise tax rate shall be revised
accordingly, if necessary, as a result of any amendment to Chapter 82.29A RCW and/or
determination by any agency collecting or enforcing leasehold excise tax that additional amounts
are owed. Lessee shall be responsible for and pay all past due leasehold excise tax, plus interest
and penalties, if any, and all future leasehold excise tax owed under this agreement as
determined by said agency pursuant to Chapter 82.29A RCW.
6. Additional Rights of Lessee.
6.1 Temporary Construction Laydown Area. Lessor shall make available within the
Project Area a temporary location for the assemblage of materials to construct, erect, and install
the SEF (such area, a “Laydown Area”) for a period not to exceed twenty (20) business days.

maintain the SEF and the Project Area in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances,
orders, and regulations of all governmental agencies.
8.2 Clean Condition. Lessee shall not unreasonably clutter the Premises or the
Project Area, and shall collect and dispose of any and all of Lessee’s refuse and trash.
8.3 Security. Lessee shall provide all security measures that Lessor determines are or
may be reasonably necessary for the SEF. Such measures may, but will not necessarily, include
warning signs, closed and locked doors or gates, and other measures appropriate and reasonable
to protect against damage or destruction of the SEF or injury or damage to persons or property
resulting from the SEF and Operations. Lessee acknowledges that the Premises are part of a
public building complex and no security measure taken by Lessee to secure the SEF on the
Premises shall restrict public access to public areas or services on the Property.
9. Lessor’s Representations and Warranties.
9.1 Authority; No Third-Party Rights. Lessor represents and warrants to Lessee that
there are no circumstances known to Lessor and no commitments to third parties that may
damage, impair, or otherwise adversely affect the SEF or its function by blocking sunlight to the
SEF. Lessor covenants that Lessor has lawful title to the Property and full right to enter into this
Agreement.
9.2 No Interference. Lessor hereby agrees, for itself, its agents, employees,
representatives, successors, and assigns, that it will not initiate or conduct activities that it knows
or reasonably should know may damage, impair, or otherwise adversely affect the SEF or its
functions, including without limitation activities that may adversely affect the SEF’s exposure to
sunlight. Lessor further covenants for itself and its agents, employees, representatives,
successors, and assigns that it will not (i) materially interfere with or prohibit the free and
complete use and enjoyment by Lessee of its rights granted under this Agreement; (ii) take any
action that will materially interfere with the availability and accessibility of solar radiation over

Narrative
The total area of the 5 roofs (3 of SW classroom wing (7296 sf) & 2 due south of tall
building section (2730 sf)) that we need for the arrays is 10,026 sq. ft.
We will not be able to use all of it due to some side shading from the tall section, south
shading by the clerestory on the northernmost classroom roof and some mechanical
features but we need to have use of it all for staging and wiring and access.
There are 5 trees on the south side of the classroom wing, numbered 1-5 starting at the
west end and moving east.
Tree 1 is 10' from the building and sticks up approximately 10' above the roof. It needs to
be trimmed to no more than 3'6" above the roof which means trimming approximately 6' off
the top. It has been previously trimmed to that level.
Tree 2 is 5' from the building and sticks up approximately 6' above the roof. It needs to be
trimmed to no more than 1'6" above the roof which means trimming approximately 4' off
the top.
Trees 3,4,5 are 17' from the building and stick up approximately 6' above the roof and do
not require trimming but will need to be maintained at that level to avoid shading the
southernmost solar array on the classroom wing.
All 5 trees are small and will not be difficult to trim or maintain.

security of the Premises, including restricting access to the area on which the SEF is located
and providing commercially reasonable monitoring of the Premises’ security alarms.
Customer will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Premises in a structurally
sound and safe condition consistent with all applicable Laws. If Customer becomes aware of
any circumstances relating to the SEF that creates an imminent risk of damage or injury to the
SEF or any employee of Seller, Customer will promptly notify Seller's emergency contact
identified on Exhibit C of such threat.
4.9 Notice of Damage. If Customer becomes aware of any physical conditions or
other circumstances that indicate there has been or might be damage to or loss of the use of the
SEF or that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the SEF, Customer will promptly
notify Seller’s emergency contact identified on Exhibit C.
5. ACCEPTANCE TESTING, METERING, INVOICING AND PAYMENT
5.1 SEF Acceptance Testing. Seller will conduct one or more tests on the SEF
during installation to confirm the operation of the installed capacity of the SEF. Commercial
operation will begin on the date that: (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the nameplate
capacity has been installed; (ii) testing indicates that the SEF is producing Energy at no less
than the nameplate capacity; (iii) the SEF has operated for a period of not fewer than five (5)
hours at capacity without experiencing any abnormal or unsafe operating conditions; and
(iv) Seller has acquired all permits necessary to authorize the production, sale and delivery of
Energy in the intended amounts (such date, the “Commercial Operation Date”). Customer may
attend the testing session at Customer’s own cost. The Commercial Operation Date shall occur
on or before December 31, 2012 or this Agreement shall be terminated and at an end. No
notice of termination is required.
5.2 Estimated Annual Production. The expected annual output of the SEF for each
year of the Contract Term is set forth on Exhibit B. Customer acknowledges that the Estimated
Annual Production amounts shown on Exhibit B are estimates for planning purposes only and
do not represent guaranteed levels of the delivery of Energy.
5.3 Metering of Delivery. Seller shall measure the amount of Energy supplied to
Customer at the Delivery Point using a commercially available, revenue-grade metering
system. Such meter shall be installed and maintained at Seller’s cost. Customer shall
cooperate with Seller to enable Seller to have reasonable access to the meter as needed to
inspect, repair and maintain such meter. At Seller’s option, the meter may have standard
industry telemetry and/or automated meter reading capabilities to allow Seller to read the meter
remotely. If Seller elects to install telemetry allowing for remote reading, Customer shall
allow for the installation of necessary communication lines and shall reasonably cooperate in
providing access for such installation. The meter shall be kept under seal, such seals to be
broken only when the meter is to be tested, adjusted, modified or relocated. In the event that
Seller breaks a seal, Seller shall notify Customer as soon as practicable. Seller shall provide
Customer, for information purposes only, a monthly summary of Energy delivered to the
Delivery Point.
Packet Page 170 of 313
{WSS840942.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 9
5.4 Consideration for Energy Delivered. For each year of the Contract Term, as
consideration for the delivery of Energy by Seller, Customer shall pay the Energy Price set
forth on Exhibit B.
5.5 Invoicing. Seller shall invoice Customer for Energy delivered within ten (10)
Business Days after the end of the prior quarterly billing period. Each invoice will set out the
amount of Energy delivered in kWh during the prior billing period, the then-applicable Energy
Price, and the amount then due, including any taxes assessed on the delivery and sale of
Energy to Customer at the Delivery Point. Such invoice shall include sufficient details so that
Customer can reasonably confirm the accuracy of the invoice including, among other details,
beginning and ending meter readings.
5.6 Payment. Customer shall make payment to Seller for Energy at the address
specified by Seller in this Agreement. If made by mail, payment shall be posted within
thirty (30) Business Days following the date Customer receives the applicable invoice. If such
due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the due date shall be the next Business Day.
Payments posted after the due date shall be considered late and shall bear Interest on the
unpaid balance.
5.7 Meter Verification. Annually, or earlier if Seller has reason to believe there
may be a meter malfunction, Seller will test the meter and provide copies of such tests to
Customer. Each test shall be conducted by an independent third-party qualified to conduct
such tests. Customer shall be notified seven (7) days in advance of each such test and have a
right to be present during such test. If a meter is inaccurate, it shall be promptly repaired or
replaced. If a meter is inaccurate by more than two percent (2%) and it is not known when the
meter inaccuracy commenced (if such evidence exists, such date will be used to adjust prior
invoices), then the invoices covering the period of time since the last meter test shall be
adjusted for the amount of the inaccuracy on the assumption that the inaccuracy persisted
during one-half of such period.
5.8 Books and Records. To facilitate payment and verification, Seller shall
maintain all books and records necessary for billing and payments, including copies of all
invoices under this Agreement, for a period of at least five (5) years, and Seller shall grant
Customer reasonable access to those books, records and data at the principal place of business
of Seller. Customer may examine such books and records relating to transactions under, and
administration of, this Agreement, at any time during the period the records are required to be
maintained, upon request with reasonable notice and during normal business hours.
5.9 Payment Adjustments: Billing Errors. Payment adjustments will be made if
Customer or Seller discovers any inaccuracy in invoicing, or if, pursuant to Section 5.7 above,
there is determined to have been a meter inaccuracy sufficient to require a payment adjustment.
If the required adjustment is in favor of Customer, Customer’s monthly payment shall be
credited in an amount equal to the adjustment. If the required adjustment is in favor of Seller,
Seller will add the adjustment amount to Customer’s next monthly invoice. Adjustments in
favor of either Customer or Seller shall bear Interest until settled in full.

7. CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCE; TERMINATION; PURCHASE OPTION
7.1 Change in Circumstances.
7.1.1 Substitution of Premises. Except to the extent this Agreement is assigned
by Customer as permitted by Section 11 or as excused by Force Majeure, if Customer vacates the
Premises prior to the expiration of this Agreement, Customer may provide Seller a mutually
Packet Page 172 of 313
{WSS840942.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 11
agreeable substitute location on which Seller may operate the SEF. The substitute location must
be (a) acceptable to Seller in its reasonable discretion and (b) serviced by the same Utility as the
Premises or have similar solar characteristics and local utility rates as the Premises. Customer
will provide Seller not fewer than one hundred and eighty days (180) days’ written notice prior
to the date on which it desires to effect such substitution.
7.1.2 Amendment to Agreement Upon Substitution of Premises. In connection
with any location substitution, Customer and Seller shall amend this Agreement to identify the
substitute location and set forth any modifications to the commercial terms of this Agreement.
The Contract Term of any amendment will be equal to the remaining Contract Term of this
Agreement. The execution and delivery of any amendment will not be deemed a termination of
this Agreement triggering any Early Termination Fee. Customer will provide Seller any and all
consents or releases from any owner, lessor, or mortgagee of the substituted location as may be
required by Seller or Seller’s Lender in connection with the substitute location. Customer will
pay all costs associated with relocation of the SEF, including all costs and expenses incurred by
or on behalf of Seller in connection with: (i) removal of the SEF from the Premises;
(ii) installation and testing of the SEF at the substitute location; (iii) applicable interconnection
fees, permit fees, and expenses at the substitute location; (iv) new title search; and (iv) other
reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses of Seller connected to preserving and re-
filing any security interest in the SEF held by Seller’s Lender.
7.1.3 Removal of SEF Upon Substitution. If Seller and Customer have agreed
upon a substitute location for the SEF, Seller will remove the SEF from the Premises within one
hundred and eighty (180) days after execution of the amendment to this Agreement. Seller will
restore the Premises to its original condition, except for SEF weather heads and ordinary wear
and tear. Seller will take care to assure that the removal of the SEF will not affect the integrity
of the Premises, which will be as weather- and leak-proof as it was prior to removal of SEF.
7.2 Early Termination Rights.
7.2.1 Seller’s Early Termination Rights. In addition to any other rights to
terminate under other provisions of this Agreement, Seller may terminate this Agreement at any
time prior to Commercial Operation Date upon thirty (30) days written notice to Customer,
without further liability except as provided herein, if Seller (a) determines that the SEF cannot be
built as planned or that its construction and operation would not be economically viable for
Seller; or (b) Seller in unable, after diligent efforts, to obtain or maintain required approvals from
Governmental Authorities for the installation and operation of the SEF. If Seller exercises its
early termination right under this Section 7.2.1, Seller will reimburse Customer for any costs
incurred by Customer in connection with the planned installation of the SEF and will remove, at
Seller’s sole cost and expense, any portion of the SEF already installed at the Premises.
7.2.2 Customer’s Early Termination Rights. In addition to any other rights to
terminate under other provisions of this Agreement, Customer may terminate this Agreement at
any time on thirty (30) days written notice to Seller, without further liability except as provided
herein. In the event of termination by Customer, Customer shall pay Seller the amounts set forth
below:
Packet Page 173 of 313
{WSS840942.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 12
(a) If Customer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 7.2.2 prior to the commencement of physical installation of the SEF on the
Premises, Customer shall pay or reimburse Seller for all reasonable and documented time
and materials expenses incurred by Seller relating to the planned installation and
operation of the SEF on the Premises arising on or after the Commercial Operation Date
until the date of Customer’s notice of termination of this Agreement.
(b) Customer may not, under any circumstances, terminate this
Agreement without cause for a period commencing on the Commercial Operation Date
(so long as that date occurs on or before December 31, 2012) and for five (5) years
thereafter.
(c) The Customer may elect to terminate without cause and without
cost, after the five (5) year period established by Subsection (b) above has expired by
providing thirty (30) days written notice to the Seller.
7.3 Temporary Closure of the Premises. If Customer desires or needs to conduct
any type of work on the roof areas or supporting structures of the Premises requiring in excess
of one week (168 hours) per year of SEF downtime, Customer will notify the seller at the
contact record listed in this Agreement within 5 business days of when such downtime may be
predicted. Customer is requested to keep such discretionary maintenance to the months of
October through March, when solar energy production is lowest. If Customer incurs a power
outage that will require Seller to immediately cease making deliveries of Energy, Customer
will notify the seller at the contact record listed in this Agreement within twenty-four (24)
hours. Customer will make a reasonable effort to give Seller as much advance notice as
possible, but in no event fewer than thirty (30) calendar days notice of Seller’s need to
permanently move or relocate the SEF. Customer will keep Seller notified of the anticipated
date on which Seller can start reinstalling the SEF in fully functional form.
7.4 Removal of SEF at Expiration, Early Termination or Event of Default. Seller
will remove the SEF from the Premises at the end of the Contract Term or upon any early
termination of this Agreement, unless a replacement agreement is in place or being negotiated.
Seller will pay all costs and expenses of removal except where Seller has terminated this
Agreement due to a Customer Default. Customer shall be responsible for the costs and
expenses of removal if the termination is due to a Customer Default. Removal will occur
within sixty (60) days of termination, and the Premises will be returned to its original
condition, except for SEF weather heads and ordinary wear and tear. Seller will take all
practicable steps to ensure the removal of the SEF does not affect the integrity of the Premises,
which will be as weather and leak proof as it was prior to removal of SEF. If Seller fails to
remove or commence substantial efforts to remove the SEF within the sixty (60)-day period,
Customer has the right, at its option, to have the SEF removed and stored in a public
warehouse at Seller’s cost. Customer may also undertake the restoration of the Premises to its
original condition (other than SEF weather heads and ordinary wear and tear) at Seller’s cost;
Packet Page 174 of 313
{WSS840942.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 13
provided, however that Customer may not undertake any improvements or betterments to the
condition of the Premises at Seller’s cost.
7.5 Customer’s Purchase Option. Customer shall have the option at the end of the
Initial Term and any applicable Extension Term to purchase the SEF at the Buy Out Price.
Customer may exercise its purchase option by giving Seller no fewer than ninety (90) calendar
days’ written notice prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any applicable Extension
Term of its interest in exercising the purchase option. If Customer provides such timely notice,
the Parties shall attempt to agree on a fair market price for the SEF. If the Parties cannot agree
on a value within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of Customer’s notice to Seller, fair
market value shall be determined by an independent energy appraiser mutually acceptable to
the Parties. In any case, ‘fair market value’ shall mean the price that would be established in an
arm’s-length transaction between an informed and willing buyer and an informed and willing
seller for the equipment that comprises the SEF as installed at the Premises. However, except
to the extent specifically set forth herein, the determination of fair market value will not take
into account the value of this Agreement or the Lease Agreement. Customer acknowledges
that Seller makes no representation or promise as to the fair market value of the SEF at any
future time. After having been informed in writing of the fair market value of the SEF for
purposes of exercising its option, if Customer chooses to commit to such exercise, (i) Customer
shall notify Seller in writing delivered not fewer than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of
the Initial Term or any Extension Term (as applicable), and (ii) Customer and Seller will
promptly execute all documents necessary to (A) pass title to the SEF to Customer, free and
clear of any Liens (except those Liens that will be paid and removed by Seller upon receipt of
the Buy Out Price), (B) assign all license and other rights to Customer necessary for Customer
to own, operate and maintain the SEF and (C) assign all valid and existing warranties for the
SEF to Customer. Customer will pay the Buy Out Price to Seller concurrently with the passage
of title to the SEF. Customer waives it right to exercise the purchase option if Customer does
not give Seller timely written notice of Customer’s intent to exercise.
8. FORCE MAJEURE
8.1 No Liability If a Force Majeure Event Occurs. Neither Seller nor Customer will
liable to the other in the event it is prevented from performing its obligations hereunder in whole
or in part due to an event of Force Majeure. The Party unable to fulfill any obligation by reason
of a Force Majeure shall take all action necessary to remove such inability with all due speed and
diligence. The nonperforming party will be prompt and diligent in attempting to remove the
cause of its failure to perform, and nothing herein shall be construed as permitting such Party to
continue to fail to perform after said cause has been removed; provided, however, the obligation
to use due diligence shall not be interpreted to require resolution of labor disputes by acceding to
demands of the opposition when such course is inadvisable in the discretion of the party having
such difficulty.
8.2 Notice. In the event of any delay or nonperformance resulting from an event of
Force Majeure, the party suffering the event of Force Majeure shall, as soon as practicable,
notify the other party in writing of the nature, cause, date of commencement thereof and the
anticipated extent of any delay or interruption in performance; provided, however, that a
Packet Page 175 of 313
{WSS840942.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 14
party’s failure to give timely notice shall not affect such party’s ability to assert Force Majeure
unless the delay in giving notice prejudices the other party.

respective officers, agents, and employees (collectively, “Customer Indemnified Parties”) from
and against any and all claims, losses, costs, damages and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, incurred by Customer Indemnified Parties arising from or out of the following:
(a) any injury or death, or a loss or damage to property was caused by Seller, or any agent,
subcontractor or component supplier of Seller (“Seller’s Agents”) relating to the installation or
operation of the SEF or otherwise caused by the activities or conduct of Seller or Seller’s
Agents at the Premises, or (b) any claim that the SEF infringes on patents or improperly uses
proprietary rights. Seller is excused from any indemnity obligation to Customer Indemnified
Parties and is not required to reimburse or indemnify any Customer Indemnified Party for any
claim to the extent such claim is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any
Customer Indemnified Party.
13.2 Customer’s Indemnity to Seller. Customer agrees that it will indemnify and

14. INSURANCE
14.1 Obligation to Maintain Coverage. Customer and Seller shall each maintain in
full force and effect the insurance coverages usual and typical for their respective types of
businesses throughout the Contract Term. In addition, Customer and Seller each shall maintain
Commercial General Liability Insurance having limits of not less than $2,000,000 general
aggregate, $1,000,000 per occurrence. Participation in a governmental insurance pool qualifies
as insurance coverage usual and typical for the Customer. In addition, Seller will carry
adequate property loss insurance on the SEF. Seller and Customer agree that the SEF need not
be covered by Customer’s property coverage. The amount and terms of the SEF insurance
coverage will be determined at Seller’s sole discretion.

Customer, Seller’s insurance policy will include Customer as an additional insured as
Customer’s interest may appear to the extent commercially reasonable.
15. MISCELLANEOUS
15.1 Tax and Regulatory Compliance; Seller Tax Benefits. Seller is the owner of the
SEF for all purposes, including in respect of any federal, State or local income or property
taxes. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate to structure the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement to address, to the mutual benefit of the Parties, the various tax and regulatory
compliance issues associated with the SEF, so long as neither Party incurs additional costs or
expenses, or suffers adverse economic effects as a result.
15.2 Entire Agreement; Integration; Exhibits. This Agreement, together with the
Exhibits attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between Seller

5.4 Consideration for Energy Delivered. For each year of the Contract Term, as
consideration for the delivery of Energy by Seller, Customer shall pay the Energy Price set
forth on Exhibit B.
5.5 Invoicing. Seller shall invoice Customer for Energy delivered within ten (10)
Business Days after the end of the prior quarterly billing period. Each invoice will set out the
amount of Energy delivered in kWh during the prior billing period, the then-applicable Energy
Price, and the amount then due, including any taxes assessed on the delivery and sale of
Energy to Customer at the Delivery Point. Such invoice shall include sufficient details so that
Customer can reasonably confirm the accuracy of the invoice including, among other details,
beginning and ending meter readings.
5.6 Payment. Customer shall make payment to Seller for Energy at the address
specified by Seller in this Agreement. If made by mail, payment shall be posted within
thirty (30) Business Days following the date Customer receives the applicable invoice. If such
due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the due date shall be the next Business Day.
Payments posted after the due date shall be considered late and shall bear Interest on the
unpaid balance.
5.7 Meter Verification. Annually, or earlier if Seller has reason to believe there
may be a meter malfunction, Seller will test the meter and provide copies of such tests to
Customer. Each test shall be conducted by an independent third-party qualified to conduct
such tests. Customer shall be notified seven (7) days in advance of each such test and have a
right to be present during such test. If a meter is inaccurate, it shall be promptly repaired or
replaced. If a meter is inaccurate by more than two percent (2%) and it is not known when the
meter inaccuracy commenced (if such evidence exists, such date will be used to adjust prior
invoices), then the invoices covering the period of time since the last meter test shall be
adjusted for the amount of the inaccuracy on the assumption that the inaccuracy persisted
during one-half of such period.
5.8 Books and Records. To facilitate payment and verification, Seller shall
maintain all books and records necessary for billing and payments, including copies of all
invoices under this Agreement, for a period of at least five (5) years, and Seller shall grant
Customer reasonable access to those books, records and data at the principal place of business
of Seller. Customer may examine such books and records relating to transactions under, and
administration of, this Agreement, at any time during the period the records are required to be
maintained, upon request with reasonable notice and during normal business hours.
5.9 Payment Adjustments: Billing Errors. Payment adjustments will be made if
Customer or Seller discovers any inaccuracy in invoicing, or if, pursuant to Section 5.7 above,
there is determined to have been a meter inaccuracy sufficient to require a payment adjustment.
If the required adjustment is in favor of Customer, Customer’s monthly payment shall be
credited in an amount equal to the adjustment. If the required adjustment is in favor of Seller,
Seller will add the adjustment amount to Customer’s next monthly invoice. Adjustments in
favor of either Customer or Seller shall bear Interest until settled in full.

7. CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCE; TERMINATION; PURCHASE OPTION
7.1 Change in Circumstances.
7.1.1 Substitution of Premises. Except to the extent this Agreement is assigned
by Customer as permitted by Section 11 or as excused by Force Majeure, if Customer vacates the
Premises prior to the expiration of this Agreement, Customer may provide Seller a mutually
Packet Page 199 of 313
{WSS840942.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 11
agreeable substitute location on which Seller may operate the SEF. The substitute location must
be (a) acceptable to Seller in its reasonable discretion and (b) serviced by the same Utility as the
Premises or have similar solar characteristics and local utility rates as the Premises. Customer
will provide Seller not fewer than one hundred and eighty days (180) days’ written notice prior
to the date on which it desires to effect such substitution.
7.1.2 Amendment to Agreement Upon Substitution of Premises. In connection
with any location substitution, Customer and Seller shall amend this Agreement to identify the
substitute location and set forth any modifications to the commercial terms of this Agreement.
The Contract Term of any amendment will be equal to the remaining Contract Term of this
Agreement. The execution and delivery of any amendment will not be deemed a termination of
this Agreement triggering any Early Termination Fee. Customer will provide Seller any and all
consents or releases from any owner, lessor, or mortgagee of the substituted location as may be
required by Seller or Seller’s Lender in connection with the substitute location. Customer will
pay all costs associated with relocation of the SEF, including all costs and expenses incurred by
or on behalf of Seller in connection with: (i) removal of the SEF from the Premises;
(ii) installation and testing of the SEF at the substitute location; (iii) applicable interconnection
fees, permit fees, and expenses at the substitute location; (iv) new title search; and (iv) other
reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses of Seller connected to preserving and re-
filing any security interest in the SEF held by Seller’s Lender.
7.1.3 Removal of SEF Upon Substitution. If Seller and Customer have agreed
upon a substitute location for the SEF, Seller will remove the SEF from the Premises within one
hundred and eighty (180) days after execution of the amendment to this Agreement. Seller will
restore the Premises to its original condition, except for SEF weather heads and ordinary wear
and tear. Seller will take care to assure that the removal of the SEF will not affect the integrity
of the Premises, which will be as weather- and leak-proof as it was prior to removal of SEF.
7.2 Early Termination Rights.
7.2.1 Seller’s Early Termination Rights. In addition to any other rights to
terminate under other provisions of this Agreement, Seller may terminate this Agreement at any
time prior to Commercial Operation Date upon thirty (30) days written notice to Customer,
without further liability except as provided herein, if Seller (a) determines that the SEF cannot be
built as planned or that its construction and operation would not be economically viable for
Seller; or (b) Seller in unable, after diligent efforts, to obtain or maintain required approvals from
Governmental Authorities for the installation and operation of the SEF. If Seller exercises its
early termination right under this Section 7.2.1, Seller will reimburse Customer for any costs
incurred by Customer in connection with the planned installation of the SEF and will remove, at
Seller’s sole cost and expense, any portion of the SEF already installed at the Premises.
7.2.2 Customer’s Early Termination Rights. In addition to any other rights to
terminate under other provisions of this Agreement, Customer may terminate this Agreement at
any time on thirty (30) days written notice to Seller, without further liability except as provided
herein. In the event of termination by Customer, Customer shall pay Seller the amounts set forth
below:
Packet Page 200 of 313
{WSS840942.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 12
(a) If Customer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 7.2.2 prior to the commencement of physical installation of the SEF on the
Premises, Customer shall pay or reimburse Seller for all reasonable and documented time
and materials expenses incurred by Seller relating to the planned installation and
operation of the SEF on the Premises arising on or after the Commercial Operation Date
until the date of Customer’s notice of termination of this Agreement.
(b) Customer may not, under any circumstances, terminate this
Agreement without cause for a period commencing on the Commercial Operation Date
(so long as that date occurs on or before December 31, 2012) and for five (5) years
thereafter.
(c) The Customer may elect to terminate without cause and without
cost, after the five (5) year period established by Subsection (b) above has expired by
providing thirty (30) days written notice to the Seller.
7.3 Temporary Closure of the Premises. If Customer desires or needs to conduct
any type of work on the roof areas or supporting structures of the Premises requiring in excess
of one week (168 hours) per year of SEF downtime, Customer will notify the seller at the
contact record listed in this Agreement within 5 business days of when such downtime may be
predicted. Customer is requested to keep such discretionary maintenance to the months of
October through March, when solar energy production is lowest. If Customer incurs a power
outage that will require Seller to immediately cease making deliveries of Energy, Customer
will notify the seller at the contact record listed in this Agreement within twenty-four (24)
hours. Customer will make a reasonable effort to give Seller as much advance notice as
possible, but in no event fewer than thirty (30) calendar days notice of Seller’s need to
permanently move or relocate the SEF. Customer will keep Seller notified of the anticipated
date on which Seller can start reinstalling the SEF in fully functional form.
7.4 Removal of SEF at Expiration, Early Termination or Event of Default. Seller
will remove the SEF from the Premises at the end of the Contract Term or upon any early
termination of this Agreement, unless a replacement agreement is in place or being negotiated.
Seller will pay all costs and expenses of removal except where Seller has terminated this
Agreement due to a Customer Default. Customer shall be responsible for the costs and
expenses of removal if the termination is due to a Customer Default. Removal will occur
within sixty (60) days of termination, and the Premises will be returned to its original
condition, except for SEF weather heads and ordinary wear and tear. Seller will take all
practicable steps to ensure the removal of the SEF does not affect the integrity of the Premises,
which will be as weather and leak proof as it was prior to removal of SEF. If Seller fails to
remove or commence substantial efforts to remove the SEF within the sixty (60)-day period,
Customer has the right, at its option, to have the SEF removed and stored in a public
warehouse at Seller’s cost. Customer may also undertake the restoration of the Premises to its
original condition (other than SEF weather heads and ordinary wear and tear) at Seller’s cost;
Packet Page 201 of 313
{WSS840942.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 13
provided, however that Customer may not undertake any improvements or betterments to the
condition of the Premises at Seller’s cost.
7.5 Customer’s Purchase Option. Customer shall have the option at the end of the
Initial Term and any applicable Extension Term to purchase the SEF at the Buy Out Price.
Customer may exercise its purchase option by giving Seller no fewer than ninety (90) calendar
days’ written notice prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any applicable Extension
Term of its interest in exercising the purchase option. If Customer provides such timely notice,
the Parties shall attempt to agree on a fair market price for the SEF. If the Parties cannot agree
on a value within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of Customer’s notice to Seller, fair
market value shall be determined by an independent energy appraiser mutually acceptable to
the Parties. In any case, ‘fair market value’ shall mean the price that would be established in an
arm’s-length transaction between an informed and willing buyer and an informed and willing
seller for the equipment that comprises the SEF as installed at the Premises. However, except
to the extent specifically set forth herein, the determination of fair market value will not take
into account the value of this Agreement or the Lease Agreement. Customer acknowledges
that Seller makes no representation or promise as to the fair market value of the SEF at any
future time. After having been informed in writing of the fair market value of the SEF for
purposes of exercising its option, if Customer chooses to commit to such exercise, (i) Customer
shall notify Seller in writing delivered not fewer than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of
the Initial Term or any Extension Term (as applicable), and (ii) Customer and Seller will
promptly execute all documents necessary to (A) pass title to the SEF to Customer, free and
clear of any Liens (except those Liens that will be paid and removed by Seller upon receipt of
the Buy Out Price), (B) assign all license and other rights to Customer necessary for Customer
to own, operate and maintain the SEF and (C) assign all valid and existing warranties for the
SEF to Customer. Customer will pay the Buy Out Price to Seller concurrently with the passage
of title to the SEF. Customer waives it right to exercise the purchase option if Customer does
not give Seller timely written notice of Customer’s intent to exercise.
8. FORCE MAJEURE
8.1 No Liability If a Force Majeure Event Occurs. Neither Seller nor Customer will
liable to the other in the event it is prevented from performing its obligations hereunder in whole
or in part due to an event of Force Majeure. The Party unable to fulfill any obligation by reason
of a Force Majeure shall take all action necessary to remove such inability with all due speed and
diligence. The nonperforming party will be prompt and diligent in attempting to remove the
cause of its failure to perform, and nothing herein shall be construed as permitting such Party to
continue to fail to perform after said cause has been removed; provided, however, the obligation
to use due diligence shall not be interpreted to require resolution of labor disputes by acceding to
demands of the opposition when such course is inadvisable in the discretion of the party having
such difficulty. The occurrence and continuation of an event of Force Majeure shall not suspend
or excuse the obligation of a party to make any payments due hereunder.
8.2
Packet Page 202 of 313
{WSS840942.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 14
8.3 Notice. In the event of any delay or nonperformance resulting from an event of
Force Majeure, the party suffering the event of Force Majeure shall, as soon as practicable,
notify the other party in writing of the nature, cause, date of commencement thereof and the
anticipated extent of any delay or interruption in performance; provided, however, that a
party’s failure to give timely notice shall not affect such party’s ability to assert Force Majeure
unless the delay in giving notice prejudices the other party.

(a) any injury or death, or a loss or damage to property was caused by Seller, or any agent,
subcontractor or component supplier of Seller (“Seller’s Agents”) relating to the installation or
operation of the SEF or otherwise caused by the activities or conduct of Seller or Seller’s
Agents at the Premises, or (b) any claim that the SEF infringes on patents or improperly uses
proprietary rights. Seller is excused from any indemnity obligation to Customer Indemnified

businesses throughout the Contract Term. In addition, Customer and Seller each shall maintain
Commercial General Liability Insurance having limits of not less than $2,000,000 general
aggregate, $1,000,000 per occurrence. Participation in a governmental insurance pool qualifies

Packet Page 206 of 313
{WSS840942.DOC;1\00006.900000\ } 18
adequate property loss insurance on the SEF. Seller and Customer agree that the SEF need not

written notice before the insurance is cancelled or materially altered.

Customer’s interest may appear to the extent commercially reasonable.
15. MISCELLANEOUS

taxes. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate to structure the transactions contemplated by

compliance issues associated with the SEF, so long as neither Party incurs additional costs or
expenses, or suffers adverse economic effects as a result.
15.2 Entire Agreement; Integration; Exhibits. This Agreement, together with the
Exhibits attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between Seller
and Customer with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements
relating to the subject matter hereof, which are of no further force or effect. The Exhibits
attached hereto are integral parts hereof and are made a part of this Agreement by reference. In
the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any Exhibit, the
provisions of this Agreement shall prevail, and such Exhibit shall be corrected accordingly.
15.3 Amendments. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or
supplemented by an instrument in writing executed by duly authorized representatives of Seller
and Customer.
15.4 Prudent Operating Practices. Except where a higher standard may be expressly
required by the terms of this Agreement, for the purpose of this Agreement, Prudent Operating
Practices shall be the measure of whether Seller’s performance is reasonable and timely.
Unless expressly defined herein, words having well-known technical or trade meanings shall
be so construed.

15.7 Unenforceable Provision. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is
unenforceable or held to be unenforceable, the Parties agree that all other provisions of this
Agreement have force and effect and shall not be affected thereby. The Parties will, however,

provision(s) with legally acceptable clauses which correspond as closely as possible to the
sense and purpose of the affected provision and this Agreement as a whole.
15.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all
of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and each of which shall
be deemed an original.
15.9 Facsimile Delivery. This Agreement may be duly executed and delivered by a
Party by execution and facsimile delivery of the signature page of a counterpart to the other
Party, and, if delivery is made by facsimile, the executing Party shall promptly deliver, via

TERMINATION BUYOUT AND BUYOUT VALUE
Due to tax implications, there is no buyout / termination value provided in the first six years. The customer is not
permitted to exercise the buyout option in the first six (6) years of operation. The buyout / termination value shown
for Year 6 refers to buyout / termination at the end of Year 6 / beginning of Year 7. Buy out values are estimates
provided for the city’s planning and are based on the following factors:
(a) The energy production from the solar energy system over its remaining useful life;
(b) The cost of the lease for the property on which the solar energy system is located; and
(c) Maintenance, insurance, and cost of removal of the solar energy system if the host facility decides not to renew
the lease.
An opinion by the coop’s advisors as to the Fair Market Value of the system at the time a buyout option is exercised
will be sought and a mutually agreed-to value will be established with the city by at that time.

Edmonds Community Solar Cooperative
Solar Host - Frequently Asked Questions
General Background
Q: What is a Community Solar Project?
It’s a solar power system funded and owned in common by local citizens who want to put solar where it makes the most energy.
Each community solar project needs a Host property on which to put solar panels and a group of Member-Owners to fund the
project.

• Hundreds of community-owned energy projects have been completed in Europe and Canada.
Q: Who owns and pays for the solar panels at Frances Anderson Center?
Edmonds Community Solar Cooperative, a locally owned and operated company set up for the purpose of developing the solar
energy potential of local rooftops. Members of the Co-Op buy SunSlicestm to fund a specific project like the Frances Anderson Center.
Q: About how many homes would the system power?
The average northwest home uses 12,000 kilowatt hours per year. When fully funded he Frances Anderson Center solar system
should produce about 75,000 kilowatt hours per year. This amounts to serving the energy needs of between 5 and 6 homes.
Q: Why does the system have to go on City property? Can’t it go on private roofs?
Washington has a special financial incentive encouraging local residents to install solar power systems on local government
properties to save energy and money. The cooperative seeks to make use of this program. Also, many of our members can’t install
solar on their property for various reasons; trees block their roof, they live in an apartment or condo, or they can’t afford a whole
system right now.
Q: Why does the system have to go on the Frances Anderson Center? Aren’t there other buildings it could go on?
Comment [s1]: 10.5.10 Council Minutes:
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if this had ever
been done before.

Councilmember Buckshnis referred to a question she
posed previously, if this had been done before
1.20.11 Email from Councilmember Buckshnis
I would like to know what other projects there are
that have this type of public private partnership
Comment [s2]: 10.5.10 Council Minutes:
Councilmember Buckshnis asked how many houses
the panels would power.
Comment [s3]: 1.18.11 Council Minutes
Councilmember Buckshnis: Only five houses can be
powered; why not put the panels on those houses?
Comment [s4]: 1.18.11 Council Minutes
Councilmember Buckshnis: Is another location
feasible in view of the historical nature of the FAC?
1.18.11 Council Motion:
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED,
SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT
PETERSON, TO REQUEST STAFF RETURN
WITH A RECOMMENDED ACTION, YES OR
NO, DEPENDING ON NEGOTIATIONS…
CONSIDERATION BE GIVEN TO ALTERNATE
LOCATIONS.
1.20.11 Email from Councilmember Buckshnis
Have you considered a smaller site to start with so
we can see how it is handled
Packet Page 215 of 313
Solar power requires a large south facing roof with years of life left, criteria the Frances Anderson Center meets. The center was
originally suggested by city staff as a high-visibility location for community solar. One goal of the Cooperative is to provide hard data
on local solar energy potential and educate the community about its benefits. The FAC’s role as a community hub serving residents
of all ages makes it an ideal location for solar education & outreach.
Q: How do solar panels support the historic preservation of the Frances Anderson Center?
We believe that energy savings and historical preservation are compatible goals. The US Department of Interior has published
guidelines for conducting energy retrofits that respect the historical elements of a property. Using these guidelines the Cooperative
assisted City staff with applying for a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission for the FAC solar
project. The project was presented to the HPC on 3/10/2011. The Commission expressed enthusiasm for the project and we expect
a straightforward approval path for the solar project’s Certificate of Appropriateness.
Q: How much electricity does the Frances Anderson Center use?
Based on discussions with city staff, we estimate the building’s annual electricity use at 140,000 kWh per year.
Q: What other sites has the Co-Op considered for solar?
Edmonds Marina, Public Works buildings, Sewer District buildings, Schools and the Public Safety Building.
Q: Will the equipment block any views or shine reflections into homes?
No, the panels will be placed low to the existing roof on the south end of the building. The blue, non-reflective solar panels could be
considered more attractive than the current torch down roof and surrounding power lines.
Q: Have there been complaints about solar panels?
We are unaware of any complaints that prevented a solar power system from being constructed, or caused an existing solar power
installation to be removed.
Q: Where are the solar panels made?
In Marysville, WA, just 30 miles away from the Frances Anderson Center.
Finance & Legal
Q: What are key benefits to the City of hosting a Community Solar Project?
• The City saves an estimated 30% on electricity generated by the solar system starting on day 1. A full 75kW system will
generate an estimated $30,000 in electricity savings over the next 9 years.
• The City receives an annual lease payment of $249.
• This pilot project can be a model for organizing and financing other energy saving projects in the community.
Q: Will the solar power system cost the City money?
No, the City actually saves money from day 1 by accepting all solar energy produced by the panels at a discount to current utility
rates. It also receives a lease payment from the Cooperative.
Q: Approximately how much will it cost to build a full 75kW solar power system?
We conservatively estimate the total developed cost for 75 kilowatts of Washington-made solar equipment to be $750,000 including
engineering, installation, permits, legal services, insurance, marketing expenses, and reserves required by the city. The system can
be funded and built in phases to minimize the initial cost and get a system up and running faster.
Q: What moneys are generated for the Cooperative by the solar project once it’s built?

• Energy services payments from the city ($0.05/kWh w/3% annual escalator through June 2020)
• Washington State Production Incentive ($1.08/kWh through June 2020)
• US Treasury Grant (30% rebate of system cost)
Q: How long would the City’s contract with the Cooperative last?
Until June 30th, 2020.
Q: What happens in 2020 at the end of the contract?
A: The Cooperative’s Board of Directors will evaluate options that benefit the members near the end of the term. Possible options
include selling the solar array to the Community Center, negotiating a new agreement to provide energy services to the Community
Center, donating the array to the Community Center, moving the array to another roof, or dismantling the array and selling it used
to a 3rd party.
Q: What if the system needs to get removed? Who pays for that?
The cooperative will obtain a quote for removing the installation and set aside a bond or cash reserve account sufficient to pay for
this work.
Q: Can the system be removed by the city for whatever reason?
Not during the first five years of the contract, as this would trigger a repayment of certain federal tax benefits by the cooperative. If
there were no alternative but removal, the cooperative would work with the city to re-locate the system to an alternate location.
Q: Is there a financial penalty to the city for early removal of the equipment?
No.
Q: Could the city become liable for the Cooperative’s tax obligations?
No.
Q: What happens to the equipment if the Co-Op ceases operating?
The City may take ownership of the solar equipment and continue operating it to produce electricity. Or it can require money from
the Co-Op’s De-Installation bond or cash reserve account to be disbursed to a vendor of its choice to remove the system.
Q: Is there a lender involved in the project?
There is no lender involved in the project at this time, all project funds have come from community members.
Construction & Operations
Q: How will the solar power system be installed to the Frances Anderson Center?
Weighted trays will hold down the solar panels, and a secure cabling system will tie the panels together. There will be no holes or
attachments put in the roof.
Q: How will the panels affect the FAC roof warranty?
The Cooperative will obtain permission from original roofing company to maintain the FAC roof warrantee through its expiration in
2018, or it will provide comparable coverage at its own expense.
Q: Will the roof hold the weight of the equipment?

was not successful.
With regard to an unsuccessful system, [City
Attorney Park ]advised there were several options, 1)
require the ownership group to remove the
equipment, 2) the City take possession of the
equipment, or 3) require a bond for removal of the
equipment.
Comment [s18]: 1.18.11 Council Minutes
Councilmember Buckshnis relayed her concern
…whether the roof could support the panels.
Councilmember Plunkett asked how many [solar
power systems] were installed without a structural
engineer reviewing the building.
1.20.11 Email from Councilmember Buckshnis
It would be helpful to know the weight bearing and
the overall stress it will put on the structure.
Packet Page 217 of 313
An engineering assessment will be conducted prior to construction, paid for by the Cooperative. The engineer’s report will
determine how many solar panels the building can safely hold.
Q: What if the equipment damages the building or injures people?
Insurance paid for by the installer and ownership group will cover potential damage to property and injury to people by the solar
power system.
Q: Is the City liable for damage to the solar equipment?
No, the Cooperative is responsible for operating the equipment. The City just leases space to the cooperative to put its solar panels
up.
Q: Who will maintain the solar equipment?
The Cooperative will sign an annual service contract with an experienced local solar company.
Q: How much maintenance does the solar equipment require?
Solar power systems need very little maintenance. An annual cleaning and inspection is generally sufficient to ensure continuous
operation.
Q: How much roof space is required for the solar panels?
We estimate that 7,500 square feet is required to install a full 75 kilowatt solar array.
Q: What if the roof of the building needs to be replaced during the contract period?
The solar panels will be installed in racks that are easy to move aside for brief periods of roof maintenance.
Q: What if the solar panels become obsolete?
The first solar panels ever made in the 1950’s at Bell Laboratories are still functioning. Solar panels have very long (25+ year)
lifetimes where they keep producing electricity for running everyday life, and maintenance requirements are minimal. If technology
breakthroughs create cheaper or more efficient solar panels, we suggest the city place them on additional buildings in Edmonds
while allowing the existing panels to run at least through their 25 year warranteed life.
About the Cooperative
Q: Where does the money the Co-Op receives go?
The Co-Op builds and operates solar equipment on local rooftops. It receives payments & incentives for the green energy it produces
from local, state, and federal sources. It pays expenses for operating the solar array and the cooperative, then pays the remainder to
the members.
Q: Who are the Co-Op’s founding partners?
Sustainable Edmonds, a local grassroots environmental organization, initiated the project. Individuals affiliated with Sustainable
Edmonds incorporated a separate Cooperative to own and operate the solar project.
Q: Who are the Co-Op’s vendors?
The cooperative has contracted with Tangerine Power, a Seattle community energy development firm, to manage the solar program
to completion. The cooperative has also signed a letter of intent with solar dealer/installer Sunergy Systems.
Q: What experience do the Board and Vendors have in the solar industry?
Comment [s19]: 10.5.10 Council Minutes:

the safety of citizens. He recalled this had last been discussed 6-7 years ago. Next, he requested the Crime
Prevention program be restored in the 2012 budget.
Jodi Pugsley, Edmonds, a volunteer at the South County Senior Center, provided further details
regarding the March 19 forum at the Senior Center. She explained the Executive Director of the Senior
Center recognized there were several unemployed boomers and put them together. They found they were
not alone and she recognized there were many other amazingly intelligent professional baby boomers.
The group began to turn their fear into positive action. The more they got together, they began to have
success stories – people finding jobs. They want to share that with others as well as networking
opportunities and resources. The forum will also share how people begin to look at their life differently
and ways to get employers to look at baby boomers. With regard to Councilmember Wilson’s comment
about the 18-24 age group, she explained her college graduate son is also sending out resumes; he gets
interviews, she does not. She summarized baby boomers are the new unemployables. She encouraged
baby boomers to attend the forum.
In response to Mr. Rutledge, Councilmember Wilson advised Friday morning following the earthquake in
Japan and in preparation for a potential tsunami or high water situation, Mayor Cooper, Public Works
Director Phil Williams, Community Services/Economic Development Director Stephen Clifton and other
staff members went to the waterfront to observe conditions. He invited Public Works Director Phil
Williams to speak to the City’s preparedness for an emergency response.
Mr. Williams explained emergency preparedness was something staff is always doing and the City’s
emergency plan was recently reviewed to update contact information, ensure supplies are readily
available, emergency kits are in vehicles, etc. The entire Puget Sound area is geared toward rapid
response in the event of an earthquake as well as other weather-related emergencies. He expected there
would be more discussion regarding a tsunami in the future. The key is to be ready to respond to any kind
of emergency, having communications established and determining the roles for each department,
department head and agencies. The City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be opened later this
year for an exercise. Emergency Services Coordinating Agency (ESCA) is an umbrella organization for
South Snohomish County cities in events that have a regional impact. He summarized the area was well
prepared regionally and it was constantly under review.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented the City may never be able to be prepared for a magnitude 9
earthquake but did its best to ensure everyone was as safe and secure as possible. At today’s Health
District meeting, the Director stated the risk of radiation in this area is very low as any radiation would be
dissipated by the time it reached the West Coast. The Health District is monitoring the situation.
6. CLOSED RECORD REVIEW OF THE HEARING EXAMINER’S RECOMMENDATION TO
APPROVE A FENCE HEIGHT VARIANCE FOR PUD, FILE PLN20100070. THE PROPERTY IS
LOCATED AT 9005 244TH STREET SW IN THE RS-8 ZONE. THE PROPOSED
REPLACEMENT FENCE AROUND THE EXISTING SUBSTATION WOULD BE 8-FEET TALL.
Recognizing that the Council has not had a closed record review recently, Mayor Pro Tem Petso
requested City Attorney Jeff Taraday provide introductory remarks about the process. Mr. Taraday
explained there are two important issues, 1) it is a closed record review, and 2) it is quasi judicial. In a
quasi judicial matter, the Council sits as a body of judges rather than a body of legislators. Special rules
apply in the quasi judicial setting that do not typically apply to the Council’s routine work as legislators.
One of those is the proceeding must be fair in actuality and also appear to be fair. Although a
Councilmember may feel they can be objective and not let their personal interest affect their vote, if a
Councilmember has a personal interest, it may appear to the public that he/she cannot be fair. Therefore
Councilmembers will be required to disclose whether they had any potential bias on the matter.
EXHIBIT - 2
Packet Page 225 of 313
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 15, 2011
Page 5
The other issue in a quasi judicial matter is a Councilmember may not have ex parte communication with
the applicant, opponent, etc. Therefore Councilmembers will be asked to disclose whether they have had
ex parte communication. If a Councilmember has, they simply need to disclose the communication. This
affords the other parties an opportunity to rebut the substance of the communication.
In an open record hearing anyone can provide testimony. In a closed record review, the only people who
can participate are those who participated in the earlier open record hearing. In this case there was an
open record hearing before the Hearing Examiner. Not only are the participants limited, they are also
limited in what they can say. Participants cannot introduce new factual evidence that was not submitted to
the Hearing Examiner during the open record hearing. The record has already been created; tonight is a
review of the record established at the lower level.
Councilmember Plunkett pointed out the parties of record in Exhibit 1 does not include people who spoke
at the hearing. It was his understanding that people who spoke at the hearing such as Mr. Rutledge, were
parties of record. Mr. Taraday explained Exhibit 1, Staff Report, lists parties of record but it is prepared
prior to the open record hearing. The testimony portion of the Hearing Examiner’s decision (Exhibit 3,
page 1) identifies individuals who presented testimony under oath at the open record hearing and lists
Alvin Rutledge as one of the four individuals who provided testimony. Those are the four individuals who
will be allowed to participate in the closed record review.
Mayor Pro Tem Petso opened the closed record hearing. She asked whether any Councilmembers would
be recusing themselves from participation on this item.
Councilmember Plunkett advised one of the parties of record is Alvin Rutledge. He has had any number
of conversations with Mr. Rutledge and knows Mr. Rutledge but has not had any conversations with him
regarding this matter.
In order to ensure the hearing is fair and appears fair, Mayor Pro Tem Petso asked Councilmembers to
make disclosures regarding their interest in the property or issue, financial benefit, any communication
with the parties of record, proponents or opponents of the issue.
Mayor Pro Tem Petso disclosed that immediately prior to tonight’s meeting she had an ex parte
communication with Mr. Rutledge. Mr. Rutledge approached her prior to the meeting and informed her
that his letter in the Council packet was intended to have been for another item before the Hearing
Examiner regarding Scott’s Bar & Grill. She assumed the attachment Mr. Rutledge intended for this
hearing was in the Scott’s Bar & Grill file. She offered the parties of record an opportunity to rebut her ex
parte communication with Mr. Rutledge.
Planner Gina Coccia explained Exhibit 2, Mr. Rutledge’s letter, was formatted to match the Hearing
Examiner agenda which had items A and B. At the January 6, 2011 Hearing Examiner hearing and the
continued hearing on January 20, Item A was the PUD’s request for a variance and Item B was Scott’s
Bar & Grill. Mr. Rutledge’s comment was in regard to Item A. Mr. Rutledge also provided oral testimony
at the Hearing Examiner hearing.
Councilmember Wilson disclosed he knows Mr. Rutledge and has had several conversations with him;
none of those conversations have been related to this matter. He has a professional relationship with PUD
executives but none of his communications have been in regard to this matter.
Councilmember Buckshnis disclosed she has had professional conversations with Mr. Rutledge but has
never discussed this matter.

Mayor Pro Tem Petso asked whether any audience members objected to the participation of any
Councilmember. There were no objections voiced.
Staff
Ms. Coccia referred to Exhibit 1, the original Staff Report and attachments that also contain parties of
record who participated to that point; Exhibit 2, public comment letter; Exhibit 3, Hearing Examiner’s
recommendation; and Exhibit 4, applicable City codes.
She explained Snohomish County PUD is replacing electrical equipment at their substation on the corner
of 244th and 90th Avenue West in the RS8 zone. The substation has been in that location for
approximately 40 years and was annexed into the City in 1995. PUD has requested a variance because
they are replacing the existing 8-foot fence with a new 8-foot fence as required by their standards. The
footprint of the equipment and fence will change slightly and a building permit will be required.
A variance is required for all fences over the 6-foot height limit. Exhibit 1, Attachment 4 contains
photographs of the typical fence they are required to install for safety purposes. It is approximately 7 feet
tall plus 1 foot of barbed wire. New landscaping is proposed around the outside perimeter of the fence.
Variances are processed as a Type III-B permit as described in ECDC 20.01.003.A and B. The variance
request was reviewed by planning staff with a recommendation to the Hearing Examiner. Because it is
related to public safety, the Hearing Examiner provides a recommendation to the City Council.
For a variance to be approved, six findings in ECDC 20.85.010 must be met. The Staff Report describes
staff’s finding that all criteria are met (Exhibit 1, Pages 4 and 5). The Hearing Examiner also found in her
Finding and Conclusions (Exhibit B, Pages 2-6) that all six criteria have been met. The applicant provided
testimony at the hearing after being questioned by the Hearing Examiner that if the fence height variance
were not approved, the necessary substation upgrade could not proceed without the safety fencing and
eventually the equipment would fail, resulting in an interruption of electric service to the region. Staff
recommends the Council adopt the Hearing Examiner’s recommendation to approve the requested
variance.
For Councilmember Fraley-Monillas, Ms. Coccia explained PUD is required to provide fencing of a
certain height for safety purposes. If the 8-foot fence were not allowed, they would not be able to replace
equipment, the project would not proceed and the equipment would eventually fail as it is over 40 years
old.
Proponent
Jim Simpson, Snohomish County PUD, advised he was present to answer questions and had nothing
further to add to Ms. Coccia’s presentation.
Parties of Record
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, explained at the hearing he raised a point about equipment and whether it was
safe. He commented on vehicles parked at the site during the last seven days. Mayor Pro Tem Petso
cautioned Mr. Rutledge to limit his remarks to the information that was provided to the Hearing
Examiner. Mr. Rutledge pointed out there was not a flag person at the site and they were not doing daily
cleanup. He commented there are 8 homes and 32 cars in the neighborhood and they enter along the
fence. He also expressed concern that the equipment used for the project would include a large crane and
that each project would take 2-3 months.

Councilmember Wilson encouraged Mr. Taraday to stop a speaker who is providing information outside
the record. He noted any new information provided during a closed record review jeopardizes the entire
process.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if the Council was to consider the written document, Exhibit 2,
with regard to Mr. Rutledge’s comments. Mr. Taraday answered the Council can consider part A of Mr.
Rutledge’s written comments and the Hearing Examiner’s summary of his oral remarks in Exhibit 3, Page
4, Item 14.
Councilmember Plunkett referred to Exhibit 3, Page 4 of 6, observing Mr. Rutledge is concerned about
public safety and the security of PUD gear and equipment during construction. He assumed that was
related to one of the six variance criteria that need to be met, “The proposal should not be detrimental or
injurious to adjacent property owners nor to the public’s health, safety or welfare.”
Mr. Simpson responded PUD constructs their substation fences in accordance with the National Electric
Safety Code which recommends the fence height PUD plans to install. All fence heights for PUD
substations are at least 8 feet high, some are higher. A fence of 8 feet in height is constructed to ensure
public safety regardless of whether there are adjacent residences. He commented the National Electric
Safety Code is adopted in WAC.
Ms. Coccia referred to Exhibit 1, Page 3, Community Facilities, which states pursuant to ECDC
17.100.050.B, “…electrical substations shall be adequately screened from adjacent residential properties
with a solid wall or sight-obscuring fence not less than six feet in height…” She noted that wording
suggests a fence would be taller than six feet. At the public hearing Mr. Rutledge provided testimony
regarding safety and construction and asked questions regarding the logistics of the project. She described
the requirement for a building permit and encroachment permit to the Hearing Examiner.
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS,
TO ADOPT THE HEARING EXAMINER'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE
REQUESTED VARIANCE.
Student Representative Gibson asked if this was only about the fence height, not construction or
encroachment on neighbors. Mayor Pro Tem Petso answered it was. Because the Council had not had a
closed record hearing recently, additional time was spent reviewing the procedures for a close record
hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Wilson commented in the past the Council had a number of closed record hearings but
the Council was subsequently taken out of the appeal process. Therefore some Councilmembers have
never participated in a closed record hearing before. This was a useful refresher regarding the process.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked how long it had been since the Council had a closed record
hearing. Councilmember Wilson answered the Council was taken out of the appeal process in late 2008.
Councilmember Plunkett remarked there had not been many land use decisions/applications recently due
to the economic climate.

Committee Chair Petso called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. in the Jury Meeting
Room.
Review and approval of the Agreement for Legal Representation of Indigent
Defendants.
Ms. Humann led discussion of the proposed public defender contract covering the term 1-
1-2011 through 12-31-2014. Ms. Humann and Mr. Feldman discussed the proposed
monetary terms of the contract and the fact the contract could be based on a per case
charge (as is the case with the expired contract) or can be based on an all-inclusive
monthly retainer fee. Finance Committee decided to move the contract to full council as a
regular agenda item, and Ms. Petso requested that staff provide public defender costs for
comparable cities to assist with the discussion.
Discussion of Woodway Police Services Contract.
Terms of the current agreement (valid through December 31, 2012) were discussed, as
well as the 90 day termination clause. Finance Committee determined they wished to
move forward with further discussion of this contract along with various options for
change in terms. That sentiment was based upon opinions expressed by full Council at
the February 4 and 5 Council Retreat that the current terms may need to be changed so
that Woodway pays more of their fair share of the cost of police services. Chief Compaan
agreed to meet with Councilmember Petso to develop some equitable contract terms
scenarios with the intent to discuss the Woodway contract again at the April Finance
Committee meeting.
Monthly General Fund Update.
No representatives from Finance Department were in attendance. This item postponed
until the April Finance Committee meeting.

Requesting authorization to salvage surplus and obsolete parts and equipment for
the Wastewater Department.
No staff representatives from Public Works were present. Finance Committee asked
whether a public hearing was necessary in order for property to be declared surplus. The
city attorney said that because it is utility property, there does need to be a public hearing
as well as City Council approval for surplus. Councilmember Petso expressed concern
that some of the equipment recommended for surplus appeared to be new and would
appreciate an explanation. Finance Committee requests that Council President Peterson
set the surplus matter for a public hearing.
Amend Equipment Rental Fund Ordinance to allow Fire asset transfers.
This matter was approved for consent agenda and the city attorney was asked to remove
the incorrect ordinance summary (referring to bicycle lanes) that appeared in the Finance
Committee packet and replace it with the correct ordinance summary.
Public Comments
Mr. Wambolt suggested the city may wish to review contract terms regarding Fire
District #1 and the Town of Woodway to see whether a similar formula could be applied
for police.
Mr. Witenberg asked about how legal fees that are awarded during the course of litigation
may impact the city attorney contract. The city attorney and Finance Committee members
were of the consensus that attorneys fees awarded to the city during litigation would flow
back to the city.
Meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m.

Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Mayor and staff request the approval of the attached Agreement.
Previous Council Action
The "current" Agreement for Legal Representation of Indigent Defendants between Feldman & Lee, P.S.,
Inc. and the City of Edmonds expired December 31, 2010. An interim agreement was approved by
Council allowing for the continuation of this service until a new Agreement could be negotiated and
approved. The new Agreement is attached for Council Review and consideration.
The Agreement was reviewed at the March 8, 2011 Finance Committee Meeting. The Finance
Committee expressed a desire to see comparable data (attached) and also had some discussion regarding
the cost of video arraignments. Please note that Assistant Police Chief Gerry Gannon did research
regarding the cost of video arraignments and provided the savings to me in an e-mail dated March 9,
2011 (also attached).
Narrative
As stated above, our Public Defender is Feldman & Lee, P.S., Inc. As also stated above, the Agreement
with Feldman & Lee, P.S., Inc. expired December 31, 2010. As a result, a new Agreement has been
negotiated and is being brought forward for Council's review and possible approval.
The new Agreement is identical to the former with two exceptions; (1) to the "Scope of and Payment for
Legal Services to be Rendered" language, and, (2) to amendments being considered regarding court rules
CrR3.1, CrRLJ3, JuCR9.2, and, as it relates to the rule for the assignment of a lawyer (see the
memorandum dated December 15, 2010 from Mr. Feldman).
The former Agreement was funded on a "per case basis" with additional charges for special appearances
and appeals. As the letter (dated October 27, 2010) from James Feldman states, two additional
arraignment calendar dates per week have been added to his schedule at $200 per arraignment. These
two additional dates will add approximately $20,800 annually. In looking at 2010 expenses, Feldman &
Lee, P.S., Inc. handled 969 cases at $130 per case. With the other fees allowed under the contract, the
City funded the Public Defender $134,100 last year. If the $20,800 for the additional arraignment dates
($200 per arraignment twice a week) are added, the new annual estimated cost for this contract could be
$154,900 (estimated using the same number of cases as 2010).
Mr. Feldman would agree to continue his Agreement on a "per case" basis but suggests that the City may
Packet Page 254 of 313
Mr. Feldman would agree to continue his Agreement on a "per case" basis but suggests that the City may
want to go with a flat monthly amount that would be all inclusive of other costs and fees. Mr. Feldman
has agreed that an appropriate monthly flat rate would be $12,625. On an annual basis that would equate
to approximately $151,500 resulting in a slight savings over the per case fee structure with additional
fees/costs and, additionally, would allow for containment of costs since the monthly amount would be all
inclusive of other fees and appearances. The attached Agreement reflects the monthly flat rate model (see
4.A.).
The new language regarding possible changes to Washington State Supreme Court rules has also been
included in this new Agreement for your review (see 4.B.).
Please note that the current Public Defender has had the same rates in place ($130 per case, $200 per
arraignment, and $40 for special hearings) since January 1, 2002. Further, the number of cases handled
by Feldman & Lee, P.S., Inc. has been 750 in 2007, 955 in 2008, 959 in 2009, and 969 in 2010.

Committee:Type:Action
Information
Subject Title
Request for authorization to advertise/issue Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Strategic
Plan.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Previous Council Action
March 16, 2010 - The Edmonds City Council approved Resolution 1224, which expressed support
for the Edmonds EDC Commission to move forward with its six higher priority recommendations.
One of the proposals was for the “City Council to commit to developing a strategic plan, then
reviewing/updating every year, ideally corresponding to the City Council’s annual retreat; this
includes setting goals and continually assessing progress metrics” and to “develop a community
vision that addresses a balance between quality of life and growth objectives while furthering
Edmonds’ “green” initiatives”.
December 2010 - The Edmonds City Council voted to approve funding to pay for a strategic
planning process and plan.
Narrative
In the past two decades, the City of Edmonds has engaged the public in a variety of efforts to shape the
community’s future via the City of Edmonds Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Plan, Economic
Development Plan, Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, the Community Cultural Plan, etc., and
specific community projects. This being said, an overarching comprehensive strategic planning and
visioning process for the community has not been accomplished.
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in creating a community wide vision and strategic plan.
On June 2, 2009, the Edmonds City Council passed Ordinance 3735, which amended the Edmonds City
Code, Title 10, adding a new Chapter 10.75 Citizens Economic Development Commission.
On January 19, 2010, a Combined Economic Development Commission and Planning Board 2009
Annual Report was submitted to the City Council and presentations were given by the Edmonds
Economic Development Commission and Planning Board Chairs during the City Council meeting. The
combined report contained six recommended higher priority initial proposals as part of a multi-faceted
approach; as no single proposed strategy, policy, or program can assure success for the community or fix
the problem. One of the proposals was for the “City Council to commit to developing a strategic plan,
then reviewing/updating every year, ideally corresponding to the City Council’s annual retreat; this
includes setting goals and continually assessing progress metrics”.
On March 16, 2010, the Edmonds City Council approved Resolution 1224, which expressed support for
Packet Page 278 of 313
the Edmonds EDC Commission to move forward with its six higher priority recommendations. On
December 2010, the City Council expressed strong support by approving funding to pay for a strategic
planning process and plan.
A draft Request For Proposals (RFP) For A Strategic Plan was routed to the Edmonds City Council,
Mayor Cooper, Department Directors, Edmonds Economic Development Commission, and Planning
Board to solicit comments. Those received were incorporated into the attached final RFP draft and
discussed during a March 16, 2011 Edmonds Economic Development Commission meeting. The
Commission expressed unanimous support to forward the attached RFP final draft to the Edmonds City
Council for their review and authorization to issue the RFP.
Regarding the funding to pay for the preparation of a Strategic Plan, the following funding sources were
identified and approved during 2011 budget process:
• $60,000 – Salary savings from delaying the hiring of a Development Services Director in 2011
• $20,000 – Economic Development Department
• $7,500 –Development Services Department Professional Services Line Item
• $12,500 – City Council contingency fund
An Economic Development Commission Strategic Planning Process Initiative Report, prepared by the
Edmonds EDC Strategic Planning and Visioning subgroup and endorsed by the Edmonds EDC, was
posted to the City’s website last year. This document provides an overview of the purpose of preparing a
strategic plan.

WHAT THE CITY IS LOOKING FOR
The City of Edmonds is seeking sealed proposals from qualified persons or firms to contract for
consulting services to guide a Strategic Planning process for the City. Consultants are invited to
submit a proposal which includes an outline of their experience and qualifications in performing
work directly related to the services required.
Strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next few years or more
and how it's going to get there. A Strategic Plan is intended to help the City direct its efforts and
resources toward a clearly defined vision for its future. The plan should include benchmarks or
milestones that measure the City’s progress along the way.
Edmonds is interested in having this plan completed proactively and transparently with
community acceptance. The process should allow for both active and passive involvement
ensuring diverse and extensive community participation. While the details of the strategic
planning process are to be determined and negotiated with the chosen consultant, a four step
process to be considered may include:
1) Setting Direction (Environmental Scan and Vision)
2) Focusing Efforts (Goals and Priorities)
3) Implementation (Citywide/Department Plans)
4) Reporting (Progress).
A strategic plan is a “living document” and should undergo periodic review and adjustment to
reflect progress towards achievement of goals and/or modifications of goals. As a process and
eventual working document, the Edmonds Strategic Planning process and final document should
provide a plan with 5, 10 and 20 year horizons to address the following issues:
Packet Page 282 of 313

• Help the City of Edmonds decide what it wants to be in the future, including
identification of what makes Edmonds unique and special, and how the City can
position itself to be prepared for the future while still retaining those qualities.

targets.
• Encourage engagement and spark the interest and excitement of active/passive
residents, business & property owners, city officials/ administration and staff, and
others in the future potential of the City.

administration, and staff, in addition to citizens, business interests, community
groups, etc. to foster a sense of cohesion as to the City’s strategic direction.
• Evaluate existing and future public facilities and services; priorities, phasing; help
identify how City resources should be allocated and how to maintain customer service
levels.
• Generate new ideas and discussion about the built environment, sustainability, sense
of place, and the City’s overall identity.
• Chart an effective, considered, and innovative course of action for the City’s future,
setting priorities and maximizing innovative opportunities.
• Serve as a way to organize and prioritize City initiatives and resources to achieve
specific goals within a specific period of time, e.g., 3 - 6 year timeframe in the short
term, and 7 - 20 year timeframe in the long term, with specific performance measures.
• Recognize economic development potential and ways to diversify the local economy.
• Identify and analyze potential partnerships with other entities; (such as public/public,
public/private) and encourage significant private investment in the limited redevelopment
opportunities in the City.
• Plan for fiscal sustainability.
Through this planning process, the City is also interested in the successful prioritization of
services and the following objectives:
• Ability to evaluate the services we provide, one versus another.
• To better understand our services in the context of the cause-and-effect relationship
they have on the organization’s priorities.
• To provide a higher degree of understanding among decision makers as they engage
in a process to rank services based on priorities.
• Articulate to people within the City and to the public how we value our services, how
we invest in our priorities, and how we divest ourselves of lower-priority services (if
necessary).

includes a community visioning process consisting of public meetings, focus-group sessions,
open houses, and other outreach forums. These gatherings would result in the submission of
a multitude of suggestions from members of the Edmonds community. The desired outcome
is a community vision entailing guiding goals, each with specific visioning targets that could
serve as a framework for the strategic planning process.
Phase 2 -

• Develop an Action Plan and establish implementation steps and schedule.
• Establish benchmarks or milestones that measure the City’s progress throughout the Strategic
Planning process.

Strategic Planning Subgroup
Draft Strategic Planning Process Initiative Report
Introduction
The structure of the City’s economy influences the City’s physical development and determines the
City’s capacity to fund essential services. Economic prosperity and development increase wealth
and the standard of living for many who live and work within the City of Edmonds and are a key
component of quality of life. Aside from a national or global economic recession, the Citizens of
Edmonds deserve predictability and reliability regarding the government services they fund. A
strong economy requires a strong, healthy and balanced community as a foundation. Thus, it is
imperative that the City of Edmonds is positioned to create and maintain economic sustainability.
Strategic planning, helping to prioritize and balance community interests, is a valuable guide towards
achieving economic sustainability. A well-conceived strategic plan, tied closely to measurable
outcomes and a realistic implementation process, provides a city’s leadership with the direction and
authority to act decisively and seize opportunities as they arrive, and overcome obstacles. A
strategic plan allows city leadership to make decisions with the confidence that they are responding
to the citizens’ needs and desires.
The Edmonds City Council approved Resolution 1224 which included a commitment to develop a
strategic plan; this includes setting goals and continually assessing progress metrics. The Edmonds
Economic Development Commission submits this report to the City Council for consideration and
requests funding and authorization to undertake a strategic planning process consistent with
Resolution 1224.

What is a Strategic Plan?
A strategic plan serves as a community’s roadmap that will take us from where we are today to
where we want to go in the coming years. The foundations of strategic planning are the statements
we make that describe WHO we are, WHERE we want to go, and HOW we will strive for our goals
and MEASURE success over time. That is, the strategic plan establishes a framework for carrying
out strategic thinking, direction, and action. It also ensures the most effective use of limited
resources by focusing those resources on key priorities.
Establishing a process that ensures broad community input is essential to the credibility of a
strategic plan and its success. Developed in concert with its stakeholders, a strategic plan helps city
leaders allocate limited resources to the programs that matter most to a community.
A strategic plan differs from other plans typically adopted by local governments in Washington –
such as comprehensive plans or functional plans related to the Growth Management Act – in that it
serves as a way to organize and prioritize initiatives and resources to achieve specific goals within a
relatively short (3 - 5 year) time period. In this way, a strategic plan focuses on establishing
near/mid-term goals, tactical approaches, and performance measures supporting a city’s overall
vision.
Currently, Edmonds prepares, reviews, and adopts many plans. Although the plans are consistent
with one another, as required under the Growth Management Act, not all of the programs within
each plan are prioritized against those in other plans. As such, the City has been following
somewhat independent long term planning and goal setting processes by Council and staff. The
Edmonds City Council represents seven individual views regarding priorities and vision, while a
strategic plan helps decision makers establish a general consensus (representing all stakeholders)
that city leaders can use to balance and direct limited resources, as well as rely on in their decision-
making process.
Packet Page 291 of 313

Strategic planning offers:
• A data- and analytically-based process
• Utilization of several input tools - citizen’s local organizations - business owners – city
employees, including managers, supervisors and senior staff - City Council, commissions
and committees
• Comprehensive direction setting process with City Council, administration, and staff together
utilizing input from the above sources
• Financial analysis of optimal strategies and direction setting
• An implementation process with specific departmental action plans
• Design of integration tools and monitoring processes
Strategic planning allows:
• A general alignment and focus of City Council, administration, and staff in addition to
citizens, business interests, community groups, etc.
• Identification of how resources should be allocated
• A road map for achieving that direction – the plan
• Engagement - energizing and empowering the community and city leadership
• Thought provoking discussion and solicitation of new ideas
• Linkage to existing systems and processes within the city
Packet Page 292 of 313

A key element of the strategic planning process is that it is established proactively and transparently
with community acceptance from the outset. The process should allow for both active and passive
involvement ensuring diverse and extensive community participation. While the details of the
strategic planning process are to be determined, a four step process may be considered:
1) Set Direction (Environmental Scan and Vision)
2) Focus Efforts (Goals and Priorities)
3) Implement (Department/Citywide Plans)
4) Reporting (Progress).
Packet Page 293 of 313

1. Set Direction (Visioning Process & Consensus Building): An initial step is to facilitate
community input and assess assets and liabilities (environmental scan) to provide a vision
and overall direction for the city.
a. Environmental Scan
Conducting an internal and external environment scan means taking a look at, or
reviewing, a community’s resources, strengths and assets in light of trends and
influences affecting the community. From this snapshot, a city can later extract key
strengths of the community and develop strategies that support its priorities.
An internal environmental scan takes an inventory of your community resources. For
example, these can include the people, health, education, businesses and job
opportunities, housing, art and culture, leisure and entertainment, and geography.
An external environmental scan looks at what is happening outside of a community
on a local, regional, national and possibly global level that may affect a community.
This would include demographics, economy and lifestyle trends.
b. Input
Community input is solicited in a variety of ways to ensure extensive breadth. By way
of example, this could include (but is not limited to):
i. Surveys via telephone, mail (i.e. via utility bills), on-line or in person (local
festivals/events)
ii. Diverse community outreach (i.e. stakeholder groups, neighborhood
meetings)
iii. Surveys and outreach that includes City Council, local organizations,
commissions, committees, City employees, etc.
c. Visioning
One component of the strategic planning process includes a community visioning
process consisting of public meetings, focus-group sessions, open houses, and other
outreach forums. These gatherings would result in the submission of a multitude of
Packet Page 294 of 313
6
suggestions from members of the Edmonds community. The hopeful outcome is a
community vision entailing guiding goals, each with specific visioning targets that
could serve as a framework for the following phases of a strategic planning process.
2. Focus Efforts (Goals and Priorities): The environmental scan, community-wide survey and
public visioning exercises will help provide information that can be used to focus the city’s
actions towards achieving the vision. Specifically, the City Council would for example,
identify long term (5 and 10-years) strategic goals that will direct long-term decision making
for the city. Short term (3-year) priority goals will also be established that direct actions over
a Council member’s term.
3. Implement (Department/Citywide Plans): The initiatives necessary to implement the
strategic plan will be summarized in department business plans (and incorporated into
citywide plans). Departments will outline the actions they will undertake to achieve the short
term priority goals and specify operating budgets necessary to support these activities.
4. Reporting (Progress): The strategic plan includes performance measures for the long term
strategic goals. These measures will form the basis for an annual reporting of progress
towards the long term goals and in realizing the vision. Measurements of strategy success
will undergo a regular review by City Council.
a. As short term goals will guide the decision-making at the department level, the
progress of the city in support of these priority goals will be reflected in department
operational and capital plans.
Periodic Review: A strategic plan is a “living document”; it undergoes periodic review and
adjustment to reflect progress towards achievement of goals and/or changes in the
“environmental scan” and resulting modifications of the goals.

Why Should Edmonds Develop a Strategic Plan?
Having an adopted strategic plan is as important to a community’s future as architectural plans are
to building a home. The development of a strategic plan allows city leadership to make decisions
with the confidence that they are responding to the citizens’ stated desires.
Local economies are always changing and the greater Edmonds area is no exception. Specifically
related to the City of Edmonds, its financial stability has been slowly deteriorating for the past
several years and current projections show that annual revenues generated within, and collected by,
the City will fall below expenses within the next couple of years. Without change and adaptability, a
community can become stagnant or decline which has a direct effect on a city’s ability to fund
operations, services and capital projects. This includes the kinds of investments that augment our
quality of living. There have been lost opportunities in Edmonds’ past such as decisions to not
annex Aurora and James Villages, no action taken in 2006 to undertake a recommended Waterfront
Redevelopment Planning Process, decision to not approve The Hotel Group Development Project
on Sunset Avenue, etc., and it is important not to miss future opportunities. Successful communities
today acknowledge their past and allow a vision for the future to guide them through the changes
needed to prosper; Edmonds is no different and needs a roadmap for addressing future directions
using a proactive approach (based on established consensus) that enables us to seize
opportunities.
A strategic plan is a crucial tool for city decision makers. It can inform decisions by establishing a
framework for setting priorities and educating leadership about the citizens’ priorities for public and
private funding. A strategic plan helps inform a Mayor and City Council about city services,
programs, and infrastructure that matter most to the citizens and which should receive paramount
attention in budgets. While the City of Edmonds plans on many levels, primarily for elements tied to
the City Comprehensive Plan, and while these elements involve strategic planning for particular
areas, an overall city strategic plan is different: it is used to prioritize initiatives, resources, goals,
and department operations and projects, in addition to making that information readily accessible to
the public. In this way, it helps prioritize and organize efforts within an observable and
understandable timeline, and ensures that all stakeholders are working together toward the same
goals and priorities. These aspects of a strategic plan are especially important in an era when
government is faced with the challenge of doing more with less and allocating tax dollars where they
Packet Page 296 of 313
8
are most needed. It ensures the most effective use of a city’s limited resources by focusing the
resources on key priorities. A strategic plan provides a framework for city leaders.
Many cities have found that the development of a strategic plan has succeeded in bringing various
stakeholders together thereby facilitating a greater sense of community, reducing tensions amongst
those representing competing interests with the recognition that everyone is working towards a
common goal of creating the best city possible. A strategic plan helps to align and focus City
Council and staff. In effect, decision-making becomes easier when priorities have already been
agreed upon. A strategic plan engages and energizes both citizens and the city leadership.
The Edmonds Economic Development Commission communicated with several cities that have
developed strategic plans to learn about their experiences with their plans – are the plans used, and
have they been valuable? We learned that as the economy has become increasingly challenging,
cities have used their plans more and more. Strategic plans have proved their value.
A strategic plan is a contract between citizens and their local government that establishes where a
city is going and how it will get there……and includes transparent methods of measuring the
progress of implementing the plan. Creating a strategic plan for the City of Edmonds would help
direct the City toward positive change(s) and would serve as the City’s roadmap for policy direction.
As such, a strategic direction for the City will help establish priorities for Edmonds’ government to
focus its staff time, energy, and money.
An adopted Strategic Plan is an investment in our community.
An inclusive, well designed process may be the best investment the City can make in its
future and the potential return on this investment is substantial.
Strategic Planning Process
The development process is key to assuring that the resulting strategic plan is both useful to its
implementers and supported by its stakeholders. While funding often determines how many of the
tools available to the planner are used to solicit community opinions, there are many approaches to
gathering opinions that assure the process is inclusive even at moderate levels of funding. The
process outlined below provides an idea of the steps taken in the process of developing a strategic
plan and the many tools available.

Staff develops RFQ (consult with Commission) including steps outlined below.
Consultant team selected through competitive process.
Selected team works with City staff:
1. Visioning process – consultant facilitates
a. Establish steering committee (staff, public officials, stakeholders)
b. Stakeholder/focus group meetings
c. Public meetings
d. Surveys
e. Open house/community feedback
f. Develop guiding principles
g. Reach consensus on 4 to 7 goals
h. Analyze key issues related to the 4 to 7 goals
i. Define and prioritize goals
2. Environmental Scan (simultaneous with visioning)
a. Internal – include City plans, what goes on in the community
b. External- bigger picture of regional/national politics, economic trends and
developments that may impact what goes on in Edmonds (e.g. current emphasis on
transit oriented development, sustainability etc.)
3. Develop and refine 4 to 7 Strategic Goals from visioning process, stating them in the context
of previous / current planning.
4. Develop implementation and funding strategies for each goal – how can these priorities be
implemented.
5. Create an inclusive document to describe strategic steps to achieve each Strategic Goal –
this can be more of a work plan, but also needs to include process for evaluation of progress
and updates.
Present prioritized recommendations to public and City Council – what do we need to do first, what
follows, and longer term. City Council and Staff, strategic planning steering committee, citizen and
business focus groups, public meetings, workshop open houses, surveys, review of existing plans –
all contribute to developing implementation strategies.
The strategic planning process involves the ENTIRE Edmonds Community! Only in
this way can it provide the necessary consensus for success.
Empowering the Community – Energizes the Community!

Costs
Based on communications with four firms with expertise in conducting this type of study/process, the
estimated cost of undertaking a strategic planning process and creation of a strategic plan ranges
from $60,000 to $200,000. Typically, the more complex the study, the higher the price. A higher
cost study usually allows consultants to conduct a more thorough analysis and further refine
assumptions, thus improving the degree of confidence in the information gathered.
Based on the general expectations and scope of work discussed by the Edmonds Economic
Development Commission, the Commission recommends that the City Council allocate a budget
range of between $85,000 and not to exceed amount of $175,000 for this effort, which represents +/-
35% of the midpoint of $130,000. This figure is subject to revision following the review of qualified
submittals in response to a Request for Proposals, and a refined scope of work once a consultant is
hired.

Proposed Interim Zoning Ordinance related to the BN Zone.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Approve the interim zoning ordinance (Exhibit 1).
Previous Council Action
None.
Narrative
The City has been making progress with the University of Washington and the Cascade Agenda on area
planning for the Five Corners and Westgate commercial centers. However, we have learned of
a potential redevelopment project being developed for a key location at the central Westgate intersection
(SR-104 and 100th Ave W). Under the existing zoning (BN), a new building located at Westgate is
required to set back at least 20 feet from any street. This is counter to the direction the UW study has
indicated people want their neighborhood commercial centers to go, and is clearly inconsistent with
existing city design objectives enumerated in the comprehensive plan, notably:
C.2. Design Objectives for Location And Layout of Parking
C.2.a. Create adequate parking for each development, but keep the cars from dominating the streetscape.
C.2.b. Improve pedestrian access from the street by locating buildings closer to the street and defining the
street edge.
C.2.c. Improve the project’s visibility from the street by placing parking to side and rear.
C.2.d. Provide direct pedestrian access from street, sidewalk, and parking.
C.5. Design Objectives for Building Entry Location.
C.5.a. Create an active, safe and lively street-edge.
C.5.b. Create a pedestrian friendly environment.
C.5.c. Provide outdoor active spaces at entry to retail/commercial uses.
C.5.d. Provide semi-public/private seating area at multi-family and commercial entries to increase activity
along the street.
Although the work with the University of Washington is not nearly complete, preliminary polling done
during initial public work sessions indicated a strong interest in moving neighborhood commercial
buildings toward the street. Forty-five of 49 respondents for Five Corners and 19 of 21 respondents for
Westgate indicated support for having businesses located at the street front as opposed to having them
separated by asphalt parking areas.
Packet Page 300 of 313
The prospective development at Westgate has indicated the existing code requires them to locate their
building at least 20 feet from the street front, which in turn requires them to place a drive aisle and
parking between the street and their building. This also affects building entry, forcing it to be oriented
away from the street. If a code change reducing the required setback were in place, the site designers have
indicated that (1) they would be willing to move their building near the street, and (2) this would in turn
improve their ability to fit parking and drive aisles on their site and otherwise meet other city code
requirements.
Given this background, staff is recommending adoption of the proposed interim zoning ordinance (see
Exhibit 1). Note that we are suggesting reducing the minimum 20-foot street setback to 5 feet to enable
expansion of walkways and/or addition of landscaping or pedestrian activity areas, not just having
buildings right up against property lines.

Election Costs
Jurisdictions are responsible for sharing in the
cost of elections in which they have a race or
issue on the ballot (RCW 29A.04.410). The
cost sharing model includes a minimum $50 fee
as well as a portion of all costs associated with
the election. If there is only one jurisdiction on
the ballot, they will be responsible for the entire
cost of the election.
The cost of an election is calculated by the
been invoiced, received and paid. Election
and mailing costs (i.e. envelopes, postage,
and ballots); legal advertising costs; other
consumable supply costs; and elections
overhead.
The individual jurisdiction’s cost of an election is
based on the total number of jurisdictions with
a race or issue on the ballot and the number of
registered voters in each of those jurisdictions.
In most cases one can assume that the more
jurisdictions that appear in an election the more
cost to a jurisdiction will be.
Jurisdictions that have an account with the
Snohomish County Treasurer will have their
portion of election costs drawn automatically
election. A statement with the amount taken will
be sent to each jurisdiction.
Jurisdictions that do not have accounts with the
Snohomish County Treasurer will be sent an
invoice with a request for prompt payment.
Questions regarding election costs or the process
for calculating individual jurisdictions portions
should be directed to the Snohomish County
Elections Manager, Garth Fell at 425-388-3625.
