Council decided to let the ordinance remain as previously approved,
Councilmember Jaech complimented the Buildings and Grounds Supervisor on the plantings
on Edmonds Way coming into Edmonds, saying they are very colorful and beautiful.
Councilmember Jaech had received an inquiry from a citizen who was concerned that not
all of the Anderson Center would be painted. Parks and Recreation Director Steve
Simpson said the contract only covers painting the newer portions of the Anderson
Center but the rest is to be paid for by Building and Maintenance Fund 336 and they
just now are writing the specifications and will advertise for bids to paint the rest
of it. He said there is approximately $6,00047,000 in the 336 fund designated for
painting. Because of the amount of dollars involved, City Engineer Jim Adams said
they are recommending a competitive bid but they will specify the same paint so all
parts of the building will match.

extensions because of what he had read in last week's Minutes regarding the Parkside
W.st request for extension. He thought this should be referred to the Community
t0elopment Committee, saying there is an equity problem that should be examined. He

underground improvements. Planning Director Mary Lou Block said she had met with the
City Attorney regarding the Parkside West request and after examining the situation

,City Attorney Mark Eames to clarify the situation. Mr. Eames summarized that there

However, in this case the building permit had not been extended as previously surmised.

Therefore, the applicant now has several options, one of them being to apply for the
issuance of new permits under the authority of the currently valid PRD approval.
Councilmember Kasper still wanted to have this issue examined in general because he
said financing is almost impossible right now and he thought the City could get
