20006 82ND AVE W.PDF111111111111 �531 20006 82ND AVE W City Council Minutes Approved 4118195 Al Rutledge, 7101 Lake Ballinger Way, Edmonds, discussed the Police Chief Roundtable Committee which he says has nothing to do with the City of Edmonds but is run by the Police Chief and Mayor Hall. He also wanted to go on record as stating that while he got a letter referring to the -fact he had been interviewed for this committee, he was not interviewed. He further went on record as requesting that the Police Chief and his officers write down where they go. He logged in a copy of a letter received from the Police Department with Deputy Clerk Sandy Chase and asked that copies be given to the Police Chief and Councilmember Myers. The second item he raised concerned Councilmember Bill Kasper. Mr. Rutledge said that four years ago Mr. Kasper talked about flowers that were taken out of the city, wanted to know who cared and who was going to put up the money. Mr. Rutledge claimed to have heard Mr. Kasper make those statements and believes he owes an apology to this City on that issue. Mr. Rutledge also believes Mr. Kasper owes him an apology because about five or six weeks ago when Mr. Rutledge repeatedly asked him to use his microphone, Mr. Kasper spoke into the mike and said there were only two people here. He suggested when there were people in the audience, Mr. Kasper utilize his microphone. Mr, Rutledge pointed out that he has addressed Council in 1111, 1111, and three times in 1994 about cable TV in this area. He gave Council information from New York, Chicago, and Detroit of how these other states are running their cable TV. He also mentioned he had made several phone calls to the Mayor's office about getting Showtime and HBO taken off. He has talked to. the school district. and indicates they are 100% behind him. David Sittauer,14W10, '7,):842�4 Edmonds, addressed a traffic concern. He reported that on Seventh Avenue South between Pine Street and Hemlock, there is a street that has no markings. He feels it a dangerous situation. He described the area and his concerns. Mr. Sittauer then asked for directions on how to proceed. Mayor Hall stated it could be run through the Community Services Committee and that he could meet with either Gordy Hyde or Paul Mar. Mr. Sittauer addressed Council President Petruzzi concerning perceived accusations against Mayor Hall. He then went on to his presentation as shop steward for the Public Works Department Union. They are presently negotiating.. The crews ask that the Council be fast and fair in its decision. Administration has received notification of various raises given to other departments and reiterated the union's desire to be treated as fairly as everyone else. Mayor Hall gave the audience a brief overview of the role Mr. Sittauer played in the forest fires of last year, and Councilmember Hall asked for a show of appreciation. Councilmember John Nordquist responded to Mr. Sittauer. The Personnel Director called a meeting of the Salary Committee this morning at 8:30. Mr. Nordquist met with the Personnel Director, the Finance Director and Bill Kasper. He presented the proposal for the union negotiations, ran it by the committee for our input, so now it is back in the hands of the Personal Director and from there it's in the hands of the administration.

He asked Council to think very carefully on this before voting for the purchase. Mr. Albano also feels that if used wisely, bonds are something the City of Edmonds can do, but suggested that if it is planning to come back with another bond issue next year to reconstruct the fire department and police department to remember that Edmonds has never passed a bond issue. He thinks they should and said if that were the case he would work hard to get one through. As Mr. Albano was preparing to leave, Council President Petruzzi indicated there will be a due diligence period. Everything referred to by Mr. Albano is going to be done before the purchase. He went on to explain there was a 60-day free look. Bob Nowlan, 921 Sea Vista Place, Edmonds, also desired to address Item 8. City Attorney Scott Snyder advised that Council's rules of procedure regarding comments limits speakers to basically one speaker for each item. He noted, as had Council President Petruzzi, that public hearings will be scheduled before the Planning Board and the City Council. The Council is always free to amend its rules if it chooses. At this point, if the Council's rules stand, in order to avoid impromptu public hearings and to proceed with those which have been published, Council's rules prohibit more than one speaker on the same subject. COUNCILMEMBER MICHAEL HALL MOVED TO SUSPEND THE RULES. THE MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. It was agreed to allow Mr. Nowlan to continue but to not hear from further speakers on this subject. Mr. Nowlan believes that according to item 8 it looks like a done deal, all in the secrecy of a back room. He has never seen a for sale sign on this building. He directed questions to Council President Petruzzi: Has an offer been made? To whom was this offer made? Has an appraisal been made? What is the appraised value? What is the purchase offer? And why did you deny this purchase just a couple of weeks ago in the "Enterprise" paper? As a taxpayer in this city for over 25 years, he was appalled at the action that is going on. It was Council consensus to have City Attorney Snyder explain what is in the public record. Mr. Snyder advised that the City Council is considering a purchase agreement for the Edmonds Financial Center. He went on to explain in detail the procedure. That procedure is summarized as follows: the action tonight is to approve a contract; the contract has a 60-day contingency period; before the City decides to affirmatively continue the City must waive contingencies, have two public hearings, one before the Planning Board and one before the City Council, on the subject; and those will occur at the time when the public has had an opportunity to get the appraisal mentioned by both prior speakers. Council President Petruzzi stated that Mayor Hall disagrees with the Council about the purchase of the building. He further indicated the Council feels very strongly that the possibility of the City purchasing this building will save the community a tremendous amount of money. There was disagreement between Mayor Hall and Council President Petruzzi. City Attorney Snyder cited RCW 42.17.3 1 0(g) as the basis for not being allowed to release the appraisal at this time.
