Previous Council Action
At the March 18, 2014 City Council Meeting, the 3-4-2014 Draft City Council Minutes were pulled from
the Consent Agenda and the City Council took the following action:
ITEM A: APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 4, 2014
Councilmember Bloom advised the council members that she has requested a verbatim transcript of the
portion of Item 7 where she asked Mr. Williams questions about the PSRC application. The verbatim has
been provided; she wanted an opportunity to review it. She suggested the verbatim be incorporated in the
minutes and brought back to the Council on 3/25/2014 as a draft.
Councilmember Bloom moved, seconded by Councilmember Petso, to move Item A, Approval of City

5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, requested the City enforce the 20 mph speed limit on Sunset Avenue and
suggested the use of radar signage or police emphasis. He noted the 20 mph speed limit was only
enforced in school zones.
6. 2013 MUNICIPAL COURT REPORT
Municipal Court Judge Doug Fair thanked Court Administrator Joan Ferebee, Assistance Police Chief
Jim Lawless and Probation Officer Sherrie Leyda for their assistance with compiling the information for
the report.
Judge Fair displayed a comparison of filings 2006 to 2013, explaining filing increased in 2013 to 7,809,
returning to historic levels. Filing during the past 5 years have been 7,700 to 7,900 filings. Filings in 2012
were down to 6,325 due to patrol officers who were off duty for a portion of the year as a result of
injuries. He explained courts are primarily reactive in nature; workloads are driven by court filings and
impacted by the Legislature, Council decisions and Police Department staffing.
Judge Fair displayed a comparison of case filings by year 2008-2013, highlighting traffic infractions,
other infractions, parking, DUI, criminal traffic and criminal non-traffic. When the police officers in
traffic returned to duty, traffic, parking and criminal traffic infractions returned to normal levels. He
expected to see a drop in overall criminal findings in 2013 due to the legalization of marijuana. In 2012
there were 75 marijuana and related paraphernalia cases. The voters’ approval of an initiative to provide
easier access to alcohol also made access easier for criminals. Although there was a reduction in
marijuana cases, there was an increase in Theft 3 due to increased accessibility to alcohol. There were 39
marijuana cases in 2012 and 3 in 2013; paraphernalia cases decreased from 71 to 45 (primarily for harder
drugs). Thefts increased from 144 to 201, an increase of 57 or 40%. He pointed out this illustrated how a
change in law affected the court and an unintended consequence of making liquor more accessible.
Judge Fair displayed a comparison of year-to-year revenues, explaining gross revenues increased from
$1.18 million in 2012 to $1.26 million in 2013. Net revenue, after reimbursements to the State, was
$812,274. Revenue projections for 2013 were very conservative; actual was approximately 18% over
projected revenues. Revenues exceeded expenses by approximately $81,000.
Judge Fair Judge Fair displayed an Expenditure Status Report, explaining net expenses were $1,386 over
original budget estimates. He anticipated 2014 expenses may be higher due to unexpected expenditures.
He reminded courts are not generally an overall revenue generator because the court’s budget does not
Packet Page 6 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 4, 2014
Page 3
include the public defender, prosecutor, jail expenses, etc. which included in the executive’s budget. He
summarized public safety is an expensive, worthwhile endeavor.
Judge Fair displayed a comparison of passport revenue explaining 467 passports were processed in 2013,
a slight decrease but generated $11,000 in revenue. Over the past 5 years, passport applications have
averaged 500/year.
Judge Fair explained the court continues to save the City a substantial amount by using alternatives to
confinement such as electronic home monitoring (EHM), alcohol monitoring bracelets, work release and
community service. These alternatives saved the City approximately $172,000 in 2013. He noted many of
the offenders in Edmonds Municipal Court are low level, low risk, first time offenders. Providing them an
opportunity for community service, work release or EHM is better putting them in jail. Statistics show
putting low level, low risk offenders with high risk, high level offenders results in more high risk, high
level offenders.
Judge Fair reported the video in-custody calendar continues to work well; instead of bringing prisoners to
the court for in-custody hearings, it is done by video. Defendants remain at the jail with their attorneys
and he and the prosecutor are in the court. This is improves safety and saved the City approximately
$28,000 the first year, a total of $100,000 since the program began. The video in-custody calendar also
allows the court to see approximately twice the number of defendants.
Judge Fair thanked the Council for restoring his half-time clerk. He relayed the court’s plans to continue
exploring the possibility of online payments. He reported on plans for an electronic filing system,
whereby documents could be scanned into an electronic file, eliminating the need for paper files and
making documents electronically retrievable. It was hoped this could be combined as part of the City
Clerk’s laser fiche system but that system did not provide the features the court needed. Approximately
$50,000 in State funds been compiled in the Court Improvement Fund that will be used to implement an
electronic filing system.
Judge Fair announced the City’s Probation Officer Sherrie Leyda plans to leave the City after 23 years.
He thanked her for her service and wished her the best as she relocates to the east coast.
Judge Fair relayed there will be increases in the public defender costs as well as jail costs. The jail is
considering a tiered system; a basic rate for an average system, a higher rate for prisoners requiring
medical and a higher rate for prisoners requiring mental health services.
Judge Fair announced he plans to run for Snohomish County District Court South Division Position 3;
Judge Carol McRae is not filing for reelection. If he is successful, he will remain as Edmonds Municipal
Court Judge through the end of 2014. He relayed a list of his endorsements. He thanked Councilmembers
for their support of his plans and for the support they have given him in the past. He said it has been a
privilege and a pleasure to serve as Edmonds Municipal Court Judge for the past eight years.
Council President Buckshnis thanked Judge Fair for his thorough presentation. She commented on seeing
Judge Fair in action when she served on jury duty.
Mayor Earling reported the salary Edmonds pays its Municipal Court Judge is substantially less than
surrounding courts. The Citizens Commission on Compensation of Elected Officials will begin meeting
next week. He anticipated in the near future he will present a budget amendment to increase the
Municipal Court Judge’s salary.
7. DISCUSSION, POTENTIAL ACTION AND PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING MODIFYING
OR TERMINATING SUNSET WALKWAY
Packet Page 7 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 4, 2014
Page 4
Public Works Director Phil Williams explained the reasons for this project include view access, improved
safety and providing accessibility. He displayed several photographs of the view from the west edge of
Sunset Avenue, of people walking in the street and a bicycle riding the wrong way on Sunset Avenue to
illustrate safety issues, and of the dirt path on the west side of the curb to illustrate accessibility issues.
Mr. Williams described what is included in the project:
• 2,000 foot long multi-use pathway on Sunset
o For use primarily by pedestrians but also including wheelchairs, stroller, roller blades,
bicycles, Segways, walkers and other non-motorized traffic to connect waterfront walkways
to 3rd Avenue
• 500 feet of improvements will be constructed on Caspers
• 100% ADA accessible
• Benches, art work
• Continued access to almost all parking on Sunset
Mr. Williams described what is NOT included in the project:
• Trees
• Tall or unshielded lights
• Fencing – some limited railing (150 +/- feet) may be necessary
Mr. Williams described the public process/information to date:
• Project placed on City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) 2011 – public comment taken, also
placed on 2012 and 2013 CIP
• Added to Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) in 2011 after public comment and Council
approval
• Council resolution adopted to apply for funding – 2011
• Public survey and public meeting – 2011
• “Sunset Avenue Overlook” project has been in Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan
since 2008 and was just recently placed in the PROS 2014 Plan
• Press release issued when initial $159,000 grant received
Mr. Williams identified discussion points:
• Parking – current proposal retains 43 of 55 existing spaces. Additional design work could
increase that to 51
• Circulation – current circulation patterns are retained (one way northbound north of Edmonds)
• Driveway access and turning radii are protected or improved
• Emergency vehicles, refuse trucks, and other delivery vehicles will be accommodated better than
today. Total of 18 feet of pavement:
o 10-foot walkway
o 2-foot mountable curb
o 6 foot clear zone
o 12-foot sharrow (travel lane for vehicles and bicycles)
• Caspers Street goes to a “shared street” concept
• Specific design features ie: artwork benches railing crosswalks, etc.
• BNSF coordination
o Need higher level design before entering into meaningful discussion
• Seismic hazard
o Much of SODO area in Seattle built in similar seismic hazard areas

Councilmember Petso asked how much roadway width was needed for a travel lane. Mr. Williams
responded it depends on speeds. In this case a 1-way 12-foot travel lane is proposed which would
accommodate higher speeds. The speeds on Sunset are very low; as the roadway will be used as a
sharrow, it makes sense to have 12 feet. He noted the lanes on Main Street where there is considerably
more traffic are 11 feet wide.
Councilmember Petso asked whether a sharrow improves safety compared to the current travel lane and
bike lane. Mr. Williams answered a definitive statement could not be made one way or the other; the
safety on Sunset is currently enhanced by the 20 mph speed limit; bicycles function well in both
configurations.
Councilmember Petso referred to the additional five feet on the west to avoid the need for a fence. She
asked if the five feet is needed for a sidewalk or only a multi-use path. Mr. Williams answered wherever
there is a change in terrain where people are encouraged to walk where they could fall, good engineering
practices would suggest a flat area next to the identified walkway. Councilmember Petso asked whether
the extra 5 feet would be necessary for a 4-foot sidewalk. Mr. Williams answered yes.
Councilmember Bloom referred to the application submitted to the Puget Sound Regional Council
(PSRC) in August 2013 to qualify for the federal Transportation Alternatives Program and a statement on
the first page that the importance of complete and accurate information on every application cannot be
over emphasized. She referenced a statement on page 7 of the application, public comment was received
at a meeting held on April 11, 2012 and followed up with written survey results that were collected April
25, 2012. The response was overwhelmingly positive with all respondents supporting the concept of a
dedicated bicycle and pedestrian facility in this corridor. The majority stated additional support for park
and trail amenities such as benches, picnic tables and artwork and several stated the project would provide
significant economic benefit to the nearby businesses. Some requested that additional information be
provided when plans were ready to be advanced and some individuals wanted to be informed about the
progress of decisions throughout the planning stages of the project. To date there have been no negative
comments reported.
Councilmember Bloom referred to a citizen’s public records request regarding the April 11, 2012 meeting
and the survey results which he provided to the Council. She noted the survey results included numerous
negative comments as well as comments that could be characterized as neutral or need more information.
That information was confirmed by staff who prepared a graph of positive, neutral and negative
comments. Councilmember Bloom asked why it was represented in the August 2013 PSRC application
that no negative comments were received to date. Mr. Williams responded everyone in attendance at the
April 11, 2012 meeting was in favor; some completed surveys after the meeting and mailed them in. All
those surveys were positive as well. When the consultant prepared the PSRC application she was not
provided access to any information other than what existed in that file. After that information was
gathered, the survey was posted on the website and electronic responses were submitted. Those surveys
had not been collated or evaluated at the time of the application to the Recreation Conservation Office
(RCO) that was submitted shortly after the meeting. A total of 150 surveys have been received and
although they have not been universally positive; approximately 82% are positive. Since August much
more information has been obtained regarding concerns with the project via a public meeting in
December as well as before and after that meeting.
Councilmember Bloom inquired about the right-of-way owned by BNSF. Mr. Williams answered the
right-of-way begins as a very narrow sliver north of Edmonds Street, expands to 8-10 feet wide and
narrows again to a point at the end of Sunset Avenue at about Caspers.
Packet Page 9 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 4, 2014
Page 6
Councilmember Bloom referred to section C1b on page 8 of the PSRC application that states leave this
blank if there are no right-of-way issues and the section is left blank. She referred to a box on page 12
where the box regarding right-of-way costs is marked not applicable. She asked why the right-of-way
issues were not presented in the PSRC application when BNSF owns much of the right-of-way. Mr.
Williams answered there is a property ownership issue with BNSF regardless of whether the walkway is
built as the City currently does not have a lease for that property. The City does not own a significant
portion of Sunset Avenue; the street has existed for 70 years. He did not necessarily characterize it as a
right-of-way issue; it would need to be discussed with BNSF. BNSF has offered the City a lease which
would resolve the issue of whether the City controls the property. The issue is the terms of the lease,
including the one-year revocation clause. He was encouraged that BNSF was willing to lease the City the
property knowing the intent to use it to repurpose the street as a walkway. A higher level of design is
required before discussions can occur with BNSF. Staff has walked the alignment with BNSF
representatives a couple times and has not heard any major concerns about the proposal.
Councilmember Bloom clarified her understanding of Mr. Williams’ explanation, that those were not
right-of-way issues that needed to be communication to PSRC. Mr. Williams answered the application
was funding for design; there has not been an application for construction funding because the design
phase has not been completed. In view of BNSF’s offer of a lease, he did not consider this a right-of-way
issue with the funding agency. Councilmember Bloom summarized there were no other right-of-way
issues in the entire design of the project. Mr. Williams answered there are not.
Council President Buckshnis thanked everyone who has contact Councilmembers. She referred to the
photograph of a cyclist riding the wrong direction on Sunset and asked if the intent was to have cyclists
ride south on a northbound one-way street. Mr. Williams explained there is currently a dedicated
northbound bike lane. The bike lane will become a sharrow, a shared lane with vehicular traffic. He
commented cyclists who travel fast will be comfortable riding in the sharrow; mom/dad with children will
be more comfortable on the multi-use path whether traveling north or south. He did not expect to see
commuter cyclists on the Sunset Avenue as it is not a major bike commuter route that connects with
another commuter trail. He anticipated a serious cyclist traveling through Edmonds would use 3rd Avenue.
Council President Buckshnis observed the sharrow would accommodate northbound vehicular and
bicycle traffic and leisure bicyclists could travel south on the multi-use path. Mr. Williams clarified the
multi-use path is a two-way path; bicyclists using the path will be asked to slow down and meld with
pedestrians and other modes of travel. Council President Buckshnis questioned including pedestrians,
bicycles, dogs, Segways, strollers, etc. on a 10-foot path. Mr. Williams answered with the number and
frequency of users, it will be comfortable.
Council President Buckshnis asked if an alternate had been considered, rather than the 12-foot path on the
west, moving the path to the east and crossing at the summit. Mr. Williams answered the facility needs to
be on the west side as the draw is the view and the views are clearly better on the west side. He
anticipated a person in a wheelchair on a path on the east side would look into the side of parked cars and
not see the beach. There are also 20 driveways on the east side that a pathway would need to cross, a
major safety concern.
Council President Buckshnis commented the costs are still unknown, particularly the cost to shore up the
bluff. Mr. Williams answered that is not required; a rail could be installed although most would prefer not
to have a railing. He anticipated some strengthening of the 150 feet on BNSF property would be required
which would benefit BNSF as well as the City.
Council President Buckshnis recalled a motion in April for $700,000 for the Sunset Avenue Walkway,
and 3 months later the cost is up to $1.4 million. She was concerned with costs due to what happened on
Packet Page 10 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 4, 2014
Page 7
76th and Haines Wharf. Mr. Williams explained much of the difference in the cost is work the utilities will
do which will be paid for by the Utilities Fund, not grant funds or General Fund. The scope was also
expanded to include improvements on Caspers. Originally the project was to end on Sunset.
Councilmember Johnson acknowledged there will be engineering challenges associated with this project.
Tonight is a planning level design analysis. She noted although some people are definitely for or against
the project, tonight’s discussion is about the tradeoffs and community values. She said it would helpful
for speakers opposed to the project to identify what would be more acceptable such as a sidewalk instead
of a multi-use pathway, whether parallel parking on the north end of Sunset is more important than an
unobstructed view, and whether cyclists prefer to ride on a multi-use pathway, a sharrow or dedicated
bike lane.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked what was envisioned for the railing on the 150 feet. Mr. Williams
answered the State standards for a multi-use pathway without 5 feet of space is a railing 54 inches high.
The design of the railing is yet to be determined; the height is required so a bicycle does not go over the
top.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether bikes, skateboards and Segways can use Edmonds
sidewalks. Mr. Williams answered Segways can but skateboards and bikes cannot.
Councilmember Petso agreed with Councilmember Johnson’s requests for information. She was
interested in the public’s input regarding a sidewalk versus a multi-use pathway or leaving the narrow
portion of the street largely as it is and taking the project only as far as Edmonds Street. She was also
interested in comment on parallel parking and the sharrow versus bike lane. She commented the south
portion of the project is acceptable to many, the Caspers portion of the project is acceptable to many and
most of the comments are on the narrow railroad portion of the project. There are options for that section
that were not necessarily described by staff such as 5-foot sidewalk, 8 feet for parking, a 12-foot travel
lane and leaving the bike lane as is. She requested the public indicate whether they were interested in
having that option designed.
Mayor Earling opened the opportunity for public comment.
Sally Wassall, Edmonds, resident of Sunset Avenue, expressed her strong opposition to the Sunset
Walkway. She recently learned Sunset Avenue is designated as a geologically hazardous area by the
Washington State Department of Natural Resources. Geologically hazardous areas include areas
susceptible to erosion, landslide in earthquake or other geological events. She quoted from the City’s
critical areas reconnaissance report that geologically hazardous areas pose a threat to the health and safety
of citizens when incompatible development is sited in areas of significant hazard. When she relayed her
concern to staff that building a walkway on Sunset would give people a false sense of security since the
proposed walkway may appear safe but is not due to the underlying custer fine sandy loom soil, she was
told the City would stabilize the area with gravel. The grant request does not include any funds for ground
stabilization. She anticipated stabilizing the bluff from Caspers Street to Bell Street would be necessary
and expensive in view of stabilization being done to prevent slides onto the railroad tracks in other areas.
She anticipated taxpayers would pay for the bluff stabilization, much of it on BNSF property. She
observed the word “safety is repeated five times in the grant request; building a walkway on the bluff
beside the railroad tracks or on geologically hazardous area is not safe. Freight on the railroad tracks
shake the tracks and cause movement of the soil.
Ed Caspers, Edmonds, relayed his opposition to the Sunset Walkway project. When he first learned of
the project, he contacted the engineering department about upgrading the asphalt walk in front of his
home and intended to offer financial support if it could be incorporated into the project. He was unaware
Packet Page 11 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 4, 2014
Page 8
of the magnitude of this project, believing it only a sidewalk and not half the street. In January 2008 he
granted the City an easement; in exchange the City agreed to install two concrete driveway aprons within
the existing sidewalk. He anticipated one of the driveway aprons would be removed by this project. When
the City received his easement, a sidewalk was constructed on Caspers Street and he had a fence installed.
If the walkway project proceeds, his fence will be inches from traffic. Caspers is a staging area for heavy
equipment on Hanna Park and Cary Road; in its present form there is little room for equipment and UPS
and Fed Ex deliveries hamper traffic. Getting his pickup and RV out of his driveway is difficult now, and
probably impossible with this new sidewalk project. He urged the Council to drop this project.
Jerry Tays, Edmonds, thanked Councilmembers for responding to his questions and for Mr. Williams
meeting with him. He was confident Mr. Williams knew the ins and outs of the process. In response to
Councilmember Petso and Councilmember Johnson’s questions, he is neither for or against the project; he
is a frequent user of the area and appreciated its availability. His concern was utilizing grant money on
property in which the City had no real property interest. There currently are City improvements including
a pump station, drainage facilities and Sunset Avenue on property BNSF owns; he has yet to hear a
satisfactory answer to how that is possible. Risk and protecting public dollars are issues that need to be
addressed. Staff indicated it had been done for 70 years and he questioned whether that suggested adverse
possession.
Eric Soul, Edmonds, expressed support for the project, commenting if this area were considered a park,
it would have more use than most other parks in the City. There is currently a narrow sidewalk and many
people walk in the street or on an unpaved footpath. A better facility would make it a better place for all
users, more people would be drawn to downtown businesses, and it would attract tourists. This project is
a legitimate function of government; providing these services to the entire population of Edmonds. He
noted change is a certainty including increased density due to Comprehensive Plan changes, zoning, and
new transportation facilities. He summarized there may be more traffic but it would benefit the entire
City.
Marilyn Lindberg, Edmonds, a resident on Sunset Avenue, recalled when BNSF planned a 4-foot fence
along Sunset Avenue in 1995, residents collected over 1,000 signatures opposing the fence. After nearly 6
years, the idea of a fence was dropped. She pointed out if residents do not bother BNSF, BNSF does not
bother them. She feared proposing a sidewalk on and next to BNSF property would result in
repercussions, particularly since the Department of Natural Resources deems Sunset Avenue to be a
seismic geologically hazardous area. She urged the Council to consider this information and suggested
leaving well enough alone when there are currently no problems.
Rick Hedges, Edmonds, requested Sunset Avenue be left as it is. He disagreed with the proposed 12-foot
dedicated walkway, anticipating it would increase the risk of accidents by increasing congestion, usage
density and making it easier to cross from east to west. It is currently illegal to ride a bicycle or
skateboard on a sidewalk in Edmonds; he questioned why the 2,000 feet on Sunset should be the only
mixed-use walkway in the City. He suggested a 5-foot walkway accessible to handicapped users and
pedestrians only, a separate bike lane and parking the full length of Sunset. Residents on Sunset rely on
the availability of street parking for family and guests; narrowing the road will require service vehicles to
park illegally, increasing congestion. Moving traffic flow to the east curb will require driving on the
downward angle of the road crown. Vehicles currently stop along the curb to enjoy the view when no
parking is available; in the proposed plan vehicles will stop in the roadway. Other issues include whether
the walkway will trigger BNSF to install a fence; bank stability; safety of pedestrians, bikers, skateboards;
ingress/egress of residents’ driveways; police and aid vehicle access; driving on an angle; and the need for
better stormwater systems. He did not trust Mr. Williams and believed the project was grant driven using
federal funds. It was not in the community’s best interest or the residents of Sunset. He attended meetings
and voiced concerns; yet the grant application indicated comments were generally favorable.

Nathan Proudfoot, Edmonds, an EDC member but speaking as private citizen, clarified the dashed line
on the visual is the BNSF property line. He explained angle parking is not ideal for cyclists as backing
vehicles can be hazardous. He suggested either a bike lane or making the trail bigger for use by cyclists,
suggesting a sharrow and a nearby pathway did not make sense. His feelings toward the proposed project
were mixed; the current configuration eliminated his favorite parking place to watch planes, trains and
boats. Many people spend their day parked along Sunset; that ability would be eliminated. He recognized
the project would increase economic development.
Kirsten Foot, Edmonds, expressed support for some kind of enhanced walkway along Sunset Avenue;
she was ambivalent about the multi-use path. If multi-use is possible, she could envision great advantage,
recalling being unable to push a stroller on Sunset due to the many interferences on the sidewalk side and
nowhere for a stroller on the west side. She and her child now walk and picnic on Sunset and would love
a walkway that allowed multi-use. She suggested considering the design of other multi-use paths such as
Green Lake where a painted line divides pedestrians and wheeled users and allows like-mobile people to
travel in the same direction.
Elise Foot, Edmonds, said she would love to have a big sidewalk on Sunset Avenue and might go there
every week. Her family visits Sunset for beach dinners and she would love to walk on a walkway after
dinner.
Don Hall, Edmonds, spoke in favor of the Sunset Avenue Walkway project, stating this project is for all
Edmonds residents and visitors. The west side of Sunset is not ADA accessible; people using wheelchairs,
canes, scooters should have access to the west side to see the beach, trains, tide pools and other beach
activities none of which are visible from the east side. This is a sidewalk and street project but also a
mini -park and should be accessible to all. Safety is a big issue, the current muddy rut on the west side is
an accident waiting to happen and should be improved. In his experience, most of the people on Sunset
walk in the street because the sidewalk on the east is not wide enough and bicycles use the road. He
encouraged the Council to move the project forward to the point whether a determination can be made
about whether it can be done.
Jeanne McConnell, Edmonds, commented her family spends a significant amount of time enjoying the
Edmonds waterfront, walking, biking and running on Sunset Avenue. The Sunset Avenue project
provides an incredible opportunity to expand the use of the waterfront and enhance safety in that area.
Other families and young people are supportive of the Sunset Walkway project.
Will McConnell, Edmonds, said he would like to see the Sunset Avenue walkway built because he
currently has to ride in the road to pass people on his bike. A walkway would be safer for him and other
kids to see the water and the ferry without cars in the way.
Olivia McConnell, Edmonds, recommended carrying on with the planning of this project for many
reasons, 1) she and her friends and family like to ride bikes, scooters, skateboards and roller blades but
cannot do so on Sunset because of the dirt path and riding on the sidewalk requires going into the road to
pass people which is very dangerous, 2) she enjoys the view and watching boats, 3) she likes sitting on
the benches, and 4) the one-way road is wide enough to add the walkway. She recommended the project
also include additional benches.
Olivia Clark, Edmonds, said the waterfront is one of her favorite spots and she often runs there with her
dad. That has been difficult in recent years because the crowds require running in the bike lane or street to
pass people. She has had multiple incidents running into people. A multi-use path on the west side would
make it easier for everyone.

Thalia Moutsanides, Edmonds, Sunset Avenue resident, said the goals of the Sunset Avenue Walkway
project have been the exact opposite of what the street needs. The embankment is currently identified as a
seismic hazard zone due to the possible of erosion or slides. This project proposes to solve this by
directing water toward the street instead of down the embankment; she doubted the proposed project
could capture all the rainfall and direct it to an improved City storm drain system. Rainfall will affect the
embankment unless it is shored up and the outcome of tampering with the embankment is unknown. The
project proposes promoting safety by encouraging people on wheeled devices to use a paved area near the
embankment to prevent people being hit by cars. She had never seen an accident between a car and
pedestrian or wheeled device in the 28 years she has lived on Sunset; the proposed project is intended to
fix a problem that does not exist. Encouraging people on wheeled devices to use a multi-use path close
the embankment would almost certainly decrease safety and possibly lead to a lawsuit. She doubted those
proposing the project had visited Sunset Avenue to observe daytime/nighttime movement of users; if they
had, the proposal would be a 5-foot walkway on the west side. She was opposed to eliminating parallel
parking. She was also concerned BNSF has not been included in discussions and feared that could
adversely affect this project and the City’s relationship with BNSF. She summarized she and her
neighbors believe the goal of the project is to misuse grant money for beautification with no elements of
practicality. There are many unknowns and she anticipated the cost would far exceed the current budget.
Richard Blacklow, Edmonds, agreed this is a grant-driven project but that did not mean it was wrong.
He did not have a final opinion regarding the project but tends in favor because it improves accessibility
for everyone. A resident of Caspers, he suggested future meetings incorporate artist renderings of Caspers
Street and enlarging the section in the slideshow. He relayed several questions, l) whether the existing
sidewalks on the south side of Caspers would remain, 2) whether new signs are proposed as part of the
project, and 3) whether the project includes taking any property from existing rights-of-way or private
owners. He noted vehicles traveling at slow speeds on Sunset speed up on Caspers.
Mark Moody, Edmonds, resident on the south side of Caspers, expressed support for previous speakers’
comments. He was in favor of some form of improvement; he often walks his dog on Sunset and has
endured the mud. He appreciated the City trying to make enhancements to benefit all residents. He agreed
it would helpful to have the same level of detail regarding the improvements on Caspers Street. He
expressed support for Mr. Blacklow’s comments.
Kimberly Wayne, Edmonds, said the current layout of Sunset between Bell and Caspers allows
pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles to enjoy the views in all seasons. It is a unique area where the views
can be enjoyed from a car. When she visited Sunset today in the pouring rain, there were 23 parked cars
and 4 pedestrians. She noted the blue skies depicted in the rendering were not the experience most days of
the year and she appreciates the ability to enjoy the view from her car when it rains. One of the goals was
to improve safety; safety is not improved by the project, 1) young cyclists, roller bladers, toddlers in a
narrow area five feet from the bluff is dangerous and 2) eliminating parking will increase the number of
people driving along looking at the view. She questioned allocating resources to improve an area that
seemed to be working.
Lynn Akerold, Edmonds, commented she loves walking on the waterfront all the way to the marina.
Sunset Avenue is unique because people can enjoy the gorgeous view from their car especially during the
rain. She and others in their cars watched four seals playing in the water this past Sunday in the rain. She
noted angle parking would impact views from vehicles and make it difficult to back in/out. She suggested
the area where the benches and picnic tables are be made accessible for wheelchairs.
Jim Wassall, Edmonds, expressed his strong opposition to the walkway project. He noted disabled
people unable to exit their vehicles park on Sunset to enjoy the view; if the walkway is constructed, there
Packet Page 14 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 4, 2014
Page 11
is no parking on the west side, eliminating the view from parked vehicles. Angle parking is a common
practice today to enjoy the sunset. The geological hazard designation has been in the ECDC and the
critical areas inventory since approximately 2005, likely after the 6.8 magnitude Nisqually earthquake in
February 2001. The Public Works Director and grant writer know this is a hazardous area and have
ignored the danger and additional expense that will be incurred.
Jim Wilkinson, Edmonds, a resident on Sunset Avenue, spoke in favor of the project. He thanked staff
for the meeting in January, finding the information, format and presentation very informative. He was
offended that a small, vocal group of people at that meeting tried to take over the meeting, wanted to
change the format and force a vote. He understood the project would cause disruptions and parking would
be lost but everyone has a right to use the waterfront. There is currently no parking after 10:00 p.m., his
visitors either carpool, park in his backyard or park elsewhere. Walkability and developing the waterfront
for the enjoyment of all is very important in most cities; losing a few parking spaces is a not a big deal.
To those with seismic concerns, he pointed a stadium was constructed in Seattle on this type of soil. He
suggested changing the culture of fear and negativity to working together to make the project happen.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.
Mike Echelbarger, Edmonds, resident on Sunset Avenue, suggested this meeting and any consideration
of terminating the project is premature. Staff has plans that increase parking to 51 parking spaces and it
was his understanding the Police Chief supports the proposal. With regard to concern with slide hazards,
he pointed out much of Sunset Avenue does not have storm sewers and water flows over the bluff; this
project will provide storm sewers. He feared the low-speed fatal car-pedestrian accident that occurred on
Walnut was a potential on Sunset due to foot traffic in the street. He noted 82% of the survey respondents
are in favor of this project and comments tonight have been approximately 50-50 in support/opposition.
Most of the residents on Sunset are opposed to the project; residents in other areas support it. He objected
to concepts that, 1) move the sidewalk to the east side because the attraction is on the west side of the
street, 2) construct a 5-foot sidewalk on the west side because that is less than is required in a dead-end
cul-de-sac, or 3) eliminate the sidewalk on the east side.
Bill Regsdorf, Edmonds, spoke in favor of the project, finding it made a lot of sense and would make
Sunset a nicer place for residents and visitors. He envisioned after the project is built, people will recall
when it was only a narrow dirt path.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented Sunset is a very special residential neighborhood that has
become very public and that use has been accommodated over the years via minor traffic modifications
such as a one-way street and changing the parking configuration. The proposed project completely
changes the use of the neighborhood, making Sunset a recreational playground. He often parks on Sunset
to enjoy the view and disagreed with reducing the number of parking spaces. People who enjoy the view
from their vehicle have as much right as people who walk in the area. If anything is done, he
recommended providing a hard surface pathway/sidewalk. He suggested moving the curb six feet to the
east, moving parking east six feet and installing an asphalt west of the curb. He suggested installing
improvements on the south end closer to downtown. Residents on Sunset fought for their neighborhood
when BNSF proposed a fence. He anticipated an over-zealous walkway project would result in BNSF
installing a fence and he recommended returning to a simpler project.
Hearing no further comment, Mayor Earling closed public comment.
Councilmember Petso observed there appeared to be unanimous approval of the project south of Edmonds
Street. There are numerous concerns starting at the summit portion with regard to railroad ownership of
the right-of-way. There are numerous concerns with the railroad portion including loss of parallel parking
Packet Page 15 of 182

spaces. More details are requested for the Caspers portion of the project including an artist’s rendering.
She observed the prospect of terminating the project no longer exists as there is agreement on the project
south of Edmonds Street. She asked for more details regarding the Caspers portion and on two schematic
ideas, 1) no change in the railroad portion, and 2) a 5-foot sidewalk on the west side of the railroad
portion retaining the existing parking. She also suggested preparing a comparison of advantages and
disadvantages. She recommended taking further public input on those aspects of the project.
Council President Buckshnis said her concern was the cost of shoring up bluff and the use of Utility
Funds which are also taxpayer dollars. She asked for additional information including the estimated cost
of shoring up the bluff.
Councilmember Petso offered to work with staff on an analysis of alternatives for the parts of the project
under question and have it reviewed by the Parks, Planning & Public Works Committee and then to
Council for further public input. Mayor Earling suggested staff address the questions that were raised.
Councilmember Johnson expressed her support for a hard surface. The present social path is inadequate
and she was interested in something more substantial.
Council President Buckshnis asked about scheduling. Mr. Williams responded conceptual answers could
be provided to the questions raised tonight as soon as the March 18 Parks, Planning & Public Works
Committee meeting. Mayor Earling requested Mr. Williams advise Council President Buckshnis of a
specific date by tomorrow.
8. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling reported he had the great pleasure to walk his daughter down the aisle in Phoenix, Arizona
this weekend. It was a fabulous experience and a delight to witness his daughter’s wedding.
9. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council President Buckshnis reported the retreat is fast approaching; a tentative agenda will be posted on
the extended agenda. She requested agenda items be submitted by March 6.
Council President Buckshnis commended staff on the City’s receipt of a clean financial audit from the
Washington State Auditor.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas relayed Councilmember Peterson and she interviewed two candidates to
assist the Council with strengthening trust, communication, cooperation between Councilmembers and
between the Mayor and City Council. The individual that both she and Councilmember Peterson agreed
on is able to come to the retreat for an hour to describe his approach. She sought Council approval to
enter into a contract with this individual.
Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite reported three individuals were identified, one was unavailable.
The two individuals come highly recommended by other jurisdictions and people in Edmonds.
Councilmembers Fraley-Monillas and Peterson interviewed both and found Jim Reed’s collaborative style
a good fit for the City. Mr. Reed provided a scope of work that was evaluated by Councilmembers Fraley-
Monillas and Peterson.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT UP TO $6,000 WITH THE FALCONER GROUP.

Councilmember Petso inquired about a funding source. Council President Buckshnis answered City
Council professional services.
Councilmember Johnson asked whether anyone has worked with this individual before. Ms. Hite
answered the City of Edmonds hired Mr. Reed last year to do some conflict resolution at the treatment
plant; he provided excellent services. That was a different scope of work but he came highly
recommended and staff was very impressed with him.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said Mr. Reed’s scope of work includes one-on-one interviews with
councilmembers, the mayor and directors. He is a very good listener and this is likely the best place to
start. She was seeking Council approval tonight so that he could attend the retreat.
Councilmember Bloom expressed concern that this discussion was occurring during Council Comments
instead of as an agenda item. She had not had an opportunity to review the scope of work and was not
prepared to vote. She suggested delaying a decision until next week.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether Mr. Reed could be included in the retreat agenda if a
decision was delayed until next week. Ms. Hite advised Mr. Reed is available for an introductory
discussion on March 14 after 11:00 a.m. She recommended the Council enter into a contract with him
before the retreat. She will confirm that he can wait until Tuesday, March 11 to confirm his attendance on
March 14.

5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, requested the City enforce the 20 mph speed limit on Sunset Avenue and

enforced in school zones.
6. 2013 MUNICIPAL COURT REPORT
Municipal Court Judge Doug Fair thanked Court Administrator Joan Ferebee, Assistance Police Chief
Jim Lawless and Probation Officer Sherrie Leyda for their assistance with compiling the information for
the report.
Judge Fair displayed a comparison of filings 2006 to 2013, explaining filing increased in 2013 to 7,809,
returning to historic levels. Filing during the past 5 years have been 7,700 to 7,900 filings. Filings in 2012
were down to 6,325 due to patrol officers who were off duty for a portion of the year as a result of
injuries. He explained courts are primarily reactive in nature; workloads are driven by court filings and
impacted by the Legislature, Council decisions and Police Department staffing.
Judge Fair displayed a comparison of case filings by year 2008-2013, highlighting traffic infractions,
other infractions, parking, DUI, criminal traffic and criminal non-traffic. When the police officers in
traffic returned to duty, traffic, parking and criminal traffic infractions returned to normal levels. He
expected to see a drop in overall criminal findings in 2013 due to the legalization of marijuana. In 2012
there were 75 marijuana and related paraphernalia cases. The voters’ approval of an initiative to provide
easier access to alcohol also made access easier for criminals. Although there was a reduction in
marijuana cases, there was an increase in Theft 3 due to increased accessibility to alcohol. There were 39
marijuana cases in 2012 and 3 in 2013; paraphernalia cases decreased from 71 to 45 (primarily for harder
drugs). Thefts increased from 144 to 201, an increase of 57 or 40%. He pointed out this illustrated how a
change in law affected the court and an unintended consequence of making liquor more accessible.
Judge Fair displayed a comparison of year-to-year revenues, explaining gross revenues increased from
$1.18 million in 2012 to $1.26 million in 2013. Net revenue, after reimbursements to the State, was
$812,274. Revenue projections for 2013 were very conservative; actual was approximately 18% over
projected revenues. Revenues exceeded expenses by approximately $81,000.
Judge Fair Judge Fair displayed an Expenditure Status Report, explaining net expenses were $1,386 over
original budget estimates. He anticipated 2014 expenses may be higher due to unexpected expenditures.
He reminded courts are not generally an overall revenue generator because the court’s budget does not
Packet Page 19 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 4, 2014
Page 3
include the public defender, prosecutor, jail expenses, etc. which included in the executive’s budget. He
summarized public safety is an expensive, worthwhile endeavor.
Judge Fair displayed a comparison of passport revenue explaining 467 passports were processed in 2013,
a slight decrease but generated $11,000 in revenue. Over the past 5 years, passport applications have
averaged 500/year.
Judge Fair explained the court continues to save the City a substantial amount by using alternatives to
confinement such as electronic home monitoring (EHM), alcohol monitoring bracelets, work release and
community service. These alternatives saved the City approximately $172,000 in 2013. He noted many of
the offenders in Edmonds Municipal Court are low level, low risk, first time offenders. Providing them an
opportunity for community service, work release or EHM is better putting them in jail. Statistics show
putting low level, low risk offenders with high risk, high level offenders results in more high risk, high
level offenders.
Judge Fair reported the video in-custody calendar continues to work well; instead of bringing prisoners to
the court for in-custody hearings, it is done by video. Defendants remain at the jail with their attorneys
and he and the prosecutor are in the court. This is improves safety and saved the City approximately
$28,000 the first year, a total of $100,000 since the program began. The video in-custody calendar also
allows the court to see approximately twice the number of defendants.
Judge Fair thanked the Council for restoring his half-time clerk. He relayed the court’s plans to continue
exploring the possibility of online payments. He reported on plans for an electronic filing system,
whereby documents could be scanned into an electronic file, eliminating the need for paper files and
making documents electronically retrievable. It was hoped this could be combined as part of the City
Clerk’s laser fiche system but that system did not provide the features the court needed. Approximately
$50,000 in State funds been compiled in the Court Improvement Fund that will be used to implement an
electronic filing system.
Judge Fair announced the City’s Probation Officer Sherrie Leyda plans to leave the City after 23 years.
He thanked her for her service and wished her the best as she relocates to the east coast.
Judge Fair relayed there will be increases in the public defender costs as well as jail costs. The jail is
considering a tiered system; a basic rate for an average system, a higher rate for prisoners requiring
medical and a higher rate for prisoners requiring mental health services.
Judge Fair announced he plans to run for Snohomish County District Court South Division Position 3;
Judge Carol McRae is not filing for reelection. If he is successful, he will remain as Edmonds Municipal
Court Judge through the end of 2014. He relayed a list of his endorsements. He thanked Councilmembers
for their support of his plans and for the support they have given him in the past. He said it has been a
privilege and a pleasure to serve as Edmonds Municipal Court Judge for the past eight years.
Council President Buckshnis thanked Judge Fair for his thorough presentation. She commented on seeing
Judge Fair in action when she served on jury duty.
Mayor Earling reported the salary Edmonds pays its Municipal Court Judge is substantially less than
surrounding courts. The Citizens Commission on Compensation of Elected Officials will begin meeting
next week. He anticipated in the near future he will present a budget amendment to increase the
Municipal Court Judge’s salary.
7. DISCUSSION, POTENTIAL ACTION AND PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING MODIFYING
OR TERMINATING SUNSET WALKWAY
Packet Page 20 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 4, 2014
Page 4
Public Works Director Phil Williams explained the reasons for this project include view access, improved
safety and providing accessibility. He displayed several photographs of the view from the west edge of
Sunset Avenue, of people walking in the street and a bicycle riding the wrong way on Sunset Avenue to
illustrate safety issues, and of the dirt path on the west side of the curb to illustrate accessibility issues.
Mr. Williams described what is included in the project:
• 2,000 foot long multi-use pathway on Sunset
o For use primarily by pedestrians but also including wheelchairs, stroller, roller blades,
bicycles, Segways, walkers and other non-motorized traffic to connect waterfront walkways
to 3rd Avenue
• 500 feet of improvements will be constructed on Caspers
• 100% ADA accessible
• Benches, art work
• Continued access to almost all parking on Sunset
Mr. Williams described what is NOT included in the project:
• Trees
• Tall or unshielded lights
• Fencing – some limited railing (150 +/- feet) may be necessary
Mr. Williams described the public process/information to date:
• Project placed on City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) 2011 – public comment taken, also
placed on 2012 and 2013 CIP
• Added to Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) in 2011 after public comment and Council
approval
• Council resolution adopted to apply for funding – 2011
• Public survey and public meeting – 2011
• “Sunset Avenue Overlook” project has been in Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan
since 2008 and was just recently placed in the PROS 2014 Plan
• Press release issued when initial $159,000 grant received
Mr. Williams identified discussion points:
• Parking – current proposal retains 43 of 55 existing spaces. Additional design work could
increase that to 51
• Circulation – current circulation patterns are retained (one way northbound north of Edmonds)
• Driveway access and turning radii are protected or improved
• Emergency vehicles, refuse trucks, and other delivery vehicles will be accommodated better than
today. Total of 18 feet of pavement:
o 10-foot walkway
o 2-foot mountable curb
o 6 foot clear zone
o 12-foot sharrow (travel lane for vehicles and bicycles)
• Caspers Street goes to a “shared street” concept
• Specific design features ie: artwork benches railing crosswalks, etc.
• BNSF coordination
o Need higher level design before entering into meaningful discussion
• Seismic hazard
o Much of SODO area in Seattle built in similar seismic hazard areas
Packet Page 21 of 182

Councilmember Petso asked how much roadway width was needed for a travel lane. Mr. Williams
responded it depends on speeds. In this case a 1-way 12-foot travel lane is proposed which would
accommodate higher speeds. The speeds on Sunset are very low; as the roadway will be used as a
sharrow, it makes sense to have 12 feet. He noted the lanes on Main Street where there is considerably
more traffic are 11 feet wide.
Councilmember Petso asked whether a sharrow improves safety compared to the current travel lane and
bike lane. Mr. Williams answered a definitive statement could not be made one way or the other; the
safety on Sunset is currently enhanced by the 20 mph speed limit; bicycles function well in both
configurations.
Councilmember Petso referred to the additional five feet on the west to avoid the need for a fence. She
asked if the five feet is needed for a sidewalk or only a multi-use path. Mr. Williams answered wherever
there is a change in terrain where people are encouraged to walk where they could fall, good engineering
practices would suggest a flat area next to the identified walkway. Councilmember Petso asked whether
the extra 5 feet would be necessary for a 4-foot sidewalk. Mr. Williams answered yes.
Verbatim transcript of Councilmember Bloom’s questions and Mr. William’s responses
Councilmember Bloom: Mr. Williams, I have some questions about the public process as
represented in the Puget Sound Regional Council application. And I’ve asked you these
questions; I just want to ask them in the public record.
Mr. Williams: Sure.
Councilmember Bloom: So the application that was filed to the Puget Sound Regional Council
was to qualify us for transportation alternatives program, correct?
Public Works Director Phil Williams: Yes.
Councilmember Bloom: And that’s a federal program?
Mr. Williams: Yes.
Councilmember Bloom: So the attachment on the agenda is the full application that was
submitted to Puget Sound Regional Council. The first page of it says the importance of complete
and accurate information on every application cannot be over emphasized. And I just want to
reference that on page 7 of the Puget Sound Regional Council application it was stated, public
comment was received at a meeting held on April 11, 2012, you referenced it in your list, and
followed up with written survey results that were collected April 25, 2012. The response was
overwhelmingly positive with all respondents supporting the concept of a dedicated bicycle and
pedestrian facility in this corridor. The majority stated additional support for park and trail
amenities such as benches, picnic tables and artwork and several stated the project would
provide significant economic benefit to the nearby businesses. Some requested that additional
information be provided when plans were ready to be advanced and some individuals wanted to
be informed about the progress of decisions throughout the planning stages of the project. To
date there have been no negative comments recorded. That application was submitted in August
2013, correct?

Mr. Williams: Correct.
Councilmember Bloom: Okay. My question, following that, a citizen made a public record
request regarding the April 11, 2012 meeting and the survey results from that. And he actually
provided that to all of the Councilmembers, the survey results, and there were numerous
negative comments in the list of survey results as well as comments that could be characterized
as neutral or need more information. So, and that information has been confirmed by your staff.
I know they even did a kind of a graph of how many comments were negative, positive and
neutral. So could you please explain why it was represented in the Puget Sound Regional
Council application of August 2013 that there were no negative comments received to date?
Mr. Williams: Sure. I, at the meeting that was referred to earlier in that statement that you read
in the application talked about the public meeting in April 2012. At that meeting, everyone was
in favor of it and that was the case at that time. Some of the people at the meeting didn’t fill out
surveys at the meeting but they took the paper surveys home and mailed them in later which we
kept. All of those were positive as well. When this application was prepared, it was prepared by
our consultant. I don’t think we had, just overlooked it, gave her access to anything more than
what we had in that file. But subsequently, after those things were gathered, as I said earlier this
evening, we actually left the survey on the web and we got a whole bunch of electronic
responses. Those hadn’t been, number one, reduced to paper, they hadn’t been collated or really
evaluated because they weren’t part of the application at that time which was an application to
the RCO, Resource Conservation Recovery, I apologize, Recreation Conservation Office, I’m
thinking of another job I had I think. And that application was sent in shortly after the public
meeting and shortly after those physical surveys were received, that’s what they got in that
application and yet these surveys kept coming in. We didn’t even look at them for a number of
months. And that just didn’t get communicated to the consultant.
Mr. Williams: The truth is we got, as I said, some 150 of them now. We’ve been through those,
and no, they are not universally positive. There’s about an 82%, 82% of them give or take, I had
2 people go through them so they, it wasn’t just one person’s opinion as to whether it was
positive, negative or neutral. Both of them came up with the same amount, 82% were positive. I
think that’s the facts. That is not exactly what obviously the application said in August of last
year and certainly since August we’ve gotten much more information as to who has concerns
about the project and what those concerns are, both at our public meeting in December and
shortly before that and certainly since then as well.
Councilmember Bloom: Okay, thank you. And then one other question, on page 8, this is related
to right-of-way issues with Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railroad that owns a large portion of
the property. And is it from Edmonds Street to Caspers? Am I correct that it’s pretty much that
chunk that is between Edmonds Street and where…
Mr. Williams: Right. It starts out as a really narrow little sliver just north of Edmonds Street
and it grows to about maybe eight to ten feet wide, talking about the curb now, the western curb,
and then narrows down again all the way out to a point out at the end of Sunset Avenue at about
Caspers.
Packet Page 23 of 182

Councilmember Bloom: Okay. So on the application, on page 8, section C1b, and this is also the
Puget Sound Regional Council application, under right-of-way, it says if there are no right-of-
way issues, leave it blank. And that section was left blank. And then on page 12, under right-of-
way, there’s a kind of a box that has right-of-way issues and then the cost on the side and in that
box it says NA, not applicable. Since, so my question is, since BNSF owns a large portion of the
property as you’ve described, why were the right-of-way issues not presented in the Puget Sound
Regional application?
Mr. Williams: Well first, it’s not technically a right-of-way issue. It certainly is a property
ownership issue and I get that. I think we all understand the railroad owns an important piece of
Sunset Avenue. Whether you build this walkway or not that’s the case and we don’t have a lease
for that property. Street’s been there for 70 years but the truth is there’s a significant chunk of
Sunset Avenue right now that we don’t own. I don’t know that I’d necessarily characterize it as a
right-of-way issue. It’s something we obviously need to talk to BNSF about. They have offered us
a lease. That would actually legally resolve the issue of whether or not we can control that
property if we’re leasing it. The issue is the terms of the lease; as I understand those, most
people I’ve heard from anyway, it doesn’t sound very comfortable to have a one year revocation
clause on a lease. But I think that’s all you’re going to get from the railroad so it requires you to
kind of look at what their motivations are. They’re willing to lease us this property knowing that
we intend to use it to repurpose this existing street as a walkway. I frankly think that’s
encouraging. But to get down and talk details with them is going to require a higher level of
design. It could be that that conversation won’t go well; we won’t know until we sit down and
talk details with them. We’ve walked the alignment with people from BNSF a couple of times
now, haven’t heard any major concerns about what we’re proposing. But that does need to get
worked out. I get that.
Councilmember Bloom: So I guess my question though is, so you’re saying those aren’t right-of-
way issues that didn’t need to be communicated to the Puget Sound Regional Council in this
application?
Mr. Williams: Well if we have a lease that we can sign right now that leases that property, puts
it in our control. We haven’t applied for construction funding for the project yet because we
haven’t completed the design phase. We were asking for design money in this application and
that’s an issue that we’re going to work out during design. We already have a lease offered to us
which gives us the ability to build on the property.
Councilmember Bloom: So they’re not considered right-of-way issues?
Mr. Williams: I don’t consider that necessarily a right-of-way issue. It may be a finance issue, it
may be an issue for the Council if that doesn’t provide enough security for you. That’s an issue
but it isn’t necessarily with the funding agency, not if we have a lease.
Councilmember Bloom: Okay. Then there are no other right-of-way issues in the entire design
of the whole project.
Mr. Williams: No.

Councilmember Bloom: Other than that?
Mr. Williams: Not that we’re aware of, no.
Councilmember Bloom: Okay, thank you.
End of verbatim transcript of Councilmember Bloom’s questions and Mr. William’s responses.
Council President Buckshnis thanked everyone who has contact Councilmembers. She referred to the
photograph of a cyclist riding the wrong direction on Sunset and asked if the intent was to have cyclists
ride south on a northbound one-way street. Mr. Williams explained there is currently a dedicated
northbound bike lane. The bike lane will become a sharrow, a shared lane with vehicular traffic. He
commented cyclists who travel fast will be comfortable riding in the sharrow; mom/dad with children will
be more comfortable on the multi-use path whether traveling north or south. He did not expect to see
commuter cyclists on the Sunset Avenue as it is not a major bike commuter route that connects with
another commuter trail. He anticipated a serious cyclist traveling through Edmonds would use 3rd Avenue.
Council President Buckshnis observed the sharrow would accommodate northbound vehicular and
bicycle traffic and leisure bicyclists could travel south on the multi-use path. Mr. Williams clarified the
multi-use path is a two-way path; bicyclists using the path will be asked to slow down and meld with
pedestrians and other modes of travel. Council President Buckshnis questioned including pedestrians,
bicycles, dogs, Segways, strollers, etc. on a 10-foot path. Mr. Williams answered with the number and
frequency of users, it will be comfortable.
Council President Buckshnis asked if an alternate had been considered, rather than the 12-foot path on the
west, moving the path to the east and crossing at the summit. Mr. Williams answered the facility needs to
be on the west side as the draw is the view and the views are clearly better on the west side. He
anticipated a person in a wheelchair on a path on the east side would look into the side of parked cars and
not see the beach. There are also 20 driveways on the east side that a pathway would need to cross, a
major safety concern.
Council President Buckshnis commented the costs are still unknown, particularly the cost to shore up the
bluff. Mr. Williams answered that is not required; a rail could be installed although most would prefer not
to have a railing. He anticipated some strengthening of the 150 feet on BNSF property would be required
which would benefit BNSF as well as the City.
Council President Buckshnis recalled a motion in April for $700,000 for the Sunset Avenue Walkway,
and 3 months later the cost is up to $1.4 million. She was concerned with costs due to what happened on
76th and Haines Wharf. Mr. Williams explained much of the difference in the cost is work the utilities will
do which will be paid for by the Utilities Fund, not grant funds or General Fund. The scope was also
expanded to include improvements on Caspers. Originally the project was to end on Sunset.
Councilmember Johnson acknowledged there will be engineering challenges associated with this project.
Tonight is a planning level design analysis. She noted although some people are definitely for or against
the project, tonight’s discussion is about the tradeoffs and community values. She said it would helpful
for speakers opposed to the project to identify what would be more acceptable such as a sidewalk instead
of a multi-use pathway, whether parallel parking on the north end of Sunset is more important than an
unobstructed view, and whether cyclists prefer to ride on a multi-use pathway, a sharrow or dedicated
bike lane.

Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked what was envisioned for the railing on the 150 feet. Mr. Williams
answered the State standards for a multi-use pathway without 5 feet of space is a railing 54 inches high.
The design of the railing is yet to be determined; the height is required so a bicycle does not go over the
top.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether bikes, skateboards and Segways can use Edmonds
sidewalks. Mr. Williams answered Segways can but skateboards and bikes cannot.
Councilmember Petso agreed with Councilmember Johnson’s requests for information. She was
interested in the public’s input regarding a sidewalk versus a multi-use pathway or leaving the narrow
portion of the street largely as it is and taking the project only as far as Edmonds Street. She was also
interested in comment on parallel parking and the sharrow versus bike lane. She commented the south
portion of the project is acceptable to many, the Caspers portion of the project is acceptable to many and
most of the comments are on the narrow railroad portion of the project. There are options for that section
that were not necessarily described by staff such as 5-foot sidewalk, 8 feet for parking, a 12-foot travel
lane and leaving the bike lane as is. She requested the public indicate whether they were interested in
having that option designed.
Mayor Earling opened the opportunity for public comment.
Sally Wassall, Edmonds, resident of Sunset Avenue, expressed her strong opposition to the Sunset
Walkway. She recently learned Sunset Avenue is designated as a geologically hazardous area by the
Washington State Department of Natural Resources. Geologically hazardous areas include areas
susceptible to erosion, landslide in earthquake or other geological events. She quoted from the City’s
critical areas reconnaissance report that geologically hazardous areas pose a threat to the health and safety
of citizens when incompatible development is sited in areas of significant hazard. When she relayed her
concern to staff that building a walkway on Sunset would give people a false sense of security since the
proposed walkway may appear safe but is not due to the underlying custer fine sandy loom soil, she was
told the City would stabilize the area with gravel. The grant request does not include any funds for ground
stabilization. She anticipated stabilizing the bluff from Caspers Street to Bell Street would be necessary
and expensive in view of stabilization being done to prevent slides onto the railroad tracks in other areas.
She anticipated taxpayers would pay for the bluff stabilization, much of it on BNSF property. She
observed the word “safety is repeated five times in the grant request; building a walkway on the bluff
beside the railroad tracks or on geologically hazardous area is not safe. Freight on the railroad tracks
shake the tracks and cause movement of the soil.
Ed Caspers, Edmonds, relayed his opposition to the Sunset Walkway project. When he first learned of
the project, he contacted the engineering department about upgrading the asphalt walk in front of his
home and intended to offer financial support if it could be incorporated into the project. He was unaware
of the magnitude of this project, believing it only a sidewalk and not half the street. In January 2008 he
granted the City an easement; in exchange the City agreed to install two concrete driveway aprons within
the existing sidewalk. He anticipated one of the driveway aprons would be removed by this project. When
the City received his easement, a sidewalk was constructed on Caspers Street and he had a fence installed.
If the walkway project proceeds, his fence will be inches from traffic. Caspers is a staging area for heavy
equipment on Hanna Park and Cary Road; in its present form there is little room for equipment and UPS
and Fed Ex deliveries hamper traffic. Getting his pickup and RV out of his driveway is difficult now, and
probably impossible with this new sidewalk project. He urged the Council to drop this project.
Jerry Tays, Edmonds, thanked Councilmembers for responding to his questions and for Mr. Williams
meeting with him. He was confident Mr. Williams knew the ins and outs of the process. In response to
Councilmember Petso and Councilmember Johnson’s questions, he is neither for or against the project; he
Packet Page 26 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 4, 2014
Page 10
is a frequent user of the area and appreciated its availability. His concern was utilizing grant money on
property in which the City had no real property interest. There currently are City improvements including
a pump station, drainage facilities and Sunset Avenue on property BNSF owns; he has yet to hear a
satisfactory answer to how that is possible. Risk and protecting public dollars are issues that need to be
addressed. Staff indicated it had been done for 70 years and he questioned whether that suggested adverse
possession.
Eric Soul, Edmonds, expressed support for the project, commenting if this area were considered a park,
it would have more use than most other parks in the City. There is currently a narrow sidewalk and many
people walk in the street or on an unpaved footpath. A better facility would make it a better place for all
users, more people would be drawn to downtown businesses, and it would attract tourists. This project is
a legitimate function of government; providing these services to the entire population of Edmonds. He
noted change is a certainty including increased density due to Comprehensive Plan changes, zoning, and
new transportation facilities. He summarized there may be more traffic but it would benefit the entire
City.
Marilyn Lindberg, Edmonds, a resident on Sunset Avenue, recalled when BNSF planned a 4-foot fence
along Sunset Avenue in 1995, residents collected over 1,000 signatures opposing the fence. After nearly 6
years, the idea of a fence was dropped. She pointed out if residents do not bother BNSF, BNSF does not
bother them. She feared proposing a sidewalk on and next to BNSF property would result in
repercussions, particularly since the Department of Natural Resources deems Sunset Avenue to be a
seismic geologically hazardous area. She urged the Council to consider this information and suggested
leaving well enough alone when there are currently no problems.
Rick Hedges, Edmonds, requested Sunset Avenue be left as it is. He disagreed with the proposed 12-foot
dedicated walkway, anticipating it would increase the risk of accidents by increasing congestion, usage
density and making it easier to cross from east to west. It is currently illegal to ride a bicycle or
skateboard on a sidewalk in Edmonds; he questioned why the 2,000 feet on Sunset should be the only
mixed-use walkway in the City. He suggested a 5-foot walkway accessible to handicapped users and
pedestrians only, a separate bike lane and parking the full length of Sunset. Residents on Sunset rely on
the availability of street parking for family and guests; narrowing the road will require service vehicles to
park illegally, increasing congestion. Moving traffic flow to the east curb will require driving on the
downward angle of the road crown. Vehicles currently stop along the curb to enjoy the view when no
parking is available; in the proposed plan vehicles will stop in the roadway. Other issues include whether
the walkway will trigger BNSF to install a fence; bank stability; safety of pedestrians, bikers, skateboards;
ingress/egress of residents’ driveways; police and aid vehicle access; driving on an angle; and the need for
better stormwater systems. He did not trust Mr. Williams and believed the project was grant driven using
federal funds. It was not in the community’s best interest or the residents of Sunset. He attended meetings
and voiced concerns; yet the grant application indicated comments were generally favorable.
Nathan Proudfoot, Edmonds, an EDC member but speaking as private citizen, clarified the dashed line
on the visual is the BNSF property line. He explained angle parking is not ideal for cyclists as backing
vehicles can be hazardous. He suggested either a bike lane or making the trail bigger for use by cyclists,
suggesting a sharrow and a nearby pathway did not make sense. His feelings toward the proposed project
were mixed; the current configuration eliminated his favorite parking place to watch planes, trains and
boats. Many people spend their day parked along Sunset; that ability would be eliminated. He recognized
the project would increase economic development.
Kirsten Foot, Edmonds, expressed support for some kind of enhanced walkway along Sunset Avenue;
she was ambivalent about the multi-use path. If multi-use is possible, she could envision great advantage,
recalling being unable to push a stroller on Sunset due to the many interferences on the sidewalk side and
Packet Page 27 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 4, 2014
Page 11
nowhere for a stroller on the west side. She and her child now walk and picnic on Sunset and would love
a walkway that allowed multi-use. She suggested considering the design of other multi-use paths such as
Green Lake where a painted line divides pedestrians and wheeled users and allows like-mobile people to
travel in the same direction.
Elise Foot, Edmonds, said she would love to have a big sidewalk on Sunset Avenue and might go there
every week. Her family visits Sunset for beach dinners and she would love to walk on a walkway after
dinner.
Don Hall, Edmonds, spoke in favor of the Sunset Avenue Walkway project, stating this project is for all
Edmonds residents and visitors. The west side of Sunset is not ADA accessible; people using wheelchairs,
canes, scooters should have access to the west side to see the beach, trains, tide pools and other beach
activities none of which are visible from the east side. This is a sidewalk and street project but also a
mini -park and should be accessible to all. Safety is a big issue, the current muddy rut on the west side is
an accident waiting to happen and should be improved. In his experience, most of the people on Sunset
walk in the street because the sidewalk on the east is not wide enough and bicycles use the road. He
encouraged the Council to move the project forward to the point whether a determination can be made
about whether it can be done.
Jeanne McConnell, Edmonds, commented her family spends a significant amount of time enjoying the
Edmonds waterfront, walking, biking and running on Sunset Avenue. The Sunset Avenue project
provides an incredible opportunity to expand the use of the waterfront and enhance safety in that area.
Other families and young people are supportive of the Sunset Walkway project.
Will McConnell, Edmonds, said he would like to see the Sunset Avenue walkway built because he
currently has to ride in the road to pass people on his bike. A walkway would be safer for him and other
kids to see the water and the ferry without cars in the way.
Olivia McConnell, Edmonds, recommended carrying on with the planning of this project for many
reasons, 1) she and her friends and family like to ride bikes, scooters, skateboards and roller blades but
cannot do so on Sunset because of the dirt path and riding on the sidewalk requires going into the road to
pass people which is very dangerous, 2) she enjoys the view and watching boats, 3) she likes sitting on
the benches, and 4) the one-way road is wide enough to add the walkway. She recommended the project
also include additional benches.
Olivia Clark, Edmonds, said the waterfront is one of her favorite spots and she often runs there with her
dad. That has been difficult in recent years because the crowds require running in the bike lane or street to
pass people. She has had multiple incidents running into people. A multi-use path on the west side would
make it easier for everyone.
Thalia Moutsanides, Edmonds, Sunset Avenue resident, said the goals of the Sunset Avenue Walkway
project have been the exact opposite of what the street needs. The embankment is currently identified as a
seismic hazard zone due to the possible of erosion or slides. This project proposes to solve this by
directing water toward the street instead of down the embankment; she doubted the proposed project
could capture all the rainfall and direct it to an improved City storm drain system. Rainfall will affect the
embankment unless it is shored up and the outcome of tampering with the embankment is unknown. The
project proposes promoting safety by encouraging people on wheeled devices to use a paved area near the
embankment to prevent people being hit by cars. She had never seen an accident between a car and
pedestrian or wheeled device in the 28 years she has lived on Sunset; the proposed project is intended to
fix a problem that does not exist. Encouraging people on wheeled devices to use a multi-use path close
the embankment would almost certainly decrease safety and possibly lead to a lawsuit. She doubted those
Packet Page 28 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 4, 2014
Page 12
proposing the project had visited Sunset Avenue to observe daytime/nighttime movement of users; if they
had, the proposal would be a 5-foot walkway on the west side. She was opposed to eliminating parallel
parking. She was also concerned BNSF has not been included in discussions and feared that could
adversely affect this project and the City’s relationship with BNSF. She summarized she and her
neighbors believe the goal of the project is to misuse grant money for beautification with no elements of
practicality. There are many unknowns and she anticipated the cost would far exceed the current budget.
Richard Blacklow, Edmonds, agreed this is a grant-driven project but that did not mean it was wrong.
He did not have a final opinion regarding the project but tends in favor because it improves accessibility
for everyone. A resident of Caspers, he suggested future meetings incorporate artist renderings of Caspers
Street and enlarging the section in the slideshow. He relayed several questions, l) whether the existing
sidewalks on the south side of Caspers would remain, 2) whether new signs are proposed as part of the
project, and 3) whether the project includes taking any property from existing rights-of-way or private
owners. He noted vehicles traveling at slow speeds on Sunset speed up on Caspers.
Mark Moody, Edmonds, resident on the south side of Caspers, expressed support for previous speakers’
comments. He was in favor of some form of improvement; he often walks his dog on Sunset and has
endured the mud. He appreciated the City trying to make enhancements to benefit all residents. He agreed
it would helpful to have the same level of detail regarding the improvements on Caspers Street. He
expressed support for Mr. Blacklow’s comments.
Kimberly Wayne, Edmonds, said the current layout of Sunset between Bell and Caspers allows
pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles to enjoy the views in all seasons. It is a unique area where the views
can be enjoyed from a car. When she visited Sunset today in the pouring rain, there were 23 parked cars
and 4 pedestrians. She noted the blue skies depicted in the rendering were not the experience most days of
the year and she appreciates the ability to enjoy the view from her car when it rains. One of the goals was
to improve safety; safety is not improved by the project, 1) young cyclists, roller bladers, toddlers in a
narrow area five feet from the bluff is dangerous and 2) eliminating parking will increase the number of
people driving along looking at the view. She questioned allocating resources to improve an area that
seemed to be working.
Lynn Akerold, Edmonds, commented she loves walking on the waterfront all the way to the marina.
Sunset Avenue is unique because people can enjoy the gorgeous view from their car especially during the
rain. She and others in their cars watched four seals playing in the water this past Sunday in the rain. She
noted angle parking would impact views from vehicles and make it difficult to back in/out. She suggested
the area where the benches and picnic tables are be made accessible for wheelchairs.
Jim Wassall, Edmonds, expressed his strong opposition to the walkway project. He noted disabled
people unable to exit their vehicles park on Sunset to enjoy the view; if the walkway is constructed, there
is no parking on the west side, eliminating the view from parked vehicles. Angle parking is a common
practice today to enjoy the sunset. The geological hazard designation has been in the ECDC and the
critical areas inventory since approximately 2005, likely after the 6.8 magnitude Nisqually earthquake in
February 2001. The Public Works Director and grant writer know this is a hazardous area and have
ignored the danger and additional expense that will be incurred.
Jim Wilkinson, Edmonds, a resident on Sunset Avenue, spoke in favor of the project. He thanked staff
for the meeting in January, finding the information, format and presentation very informative. He was
offended that a small, vocal group of people at that meeting tried to take over the meeting, wanted to
change the format and force a vote. He understood the project would cause disruptions and parking would
be lost but everyone has a right to use the waterfront. There is currently no parking after 10:00 p.m., his
visitors either carpool, park in his backyard or park elsewhere. Walkability and developing the waterfront
Packet Page 29 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 4, 2014
Page 13
for the enjoyment of all is very important in most cities; losing a few parking spaces is a not a big deal.
To those with seismic concerns, he pointed a stadium was constructed in Seattle on this type of soil. He
suggested changing the culture of fear and negativity to working together to make the project happen.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.
Mike Echelbarger, Edmonds, resident on Sunset Avenue, suggested this meeting and any consideration
of terminating the project is premature. Staff has plans that increase parking to 51 parking spaces and it
was his understanding the Police Chief supports the proposal. With regard to concern with slide hazards,
he pointed out much of Sunset Avenue does not have storm sewers and water flows over the bluff; this
project will provide storm sewers. He feared the low-speed fatal car-pedestrian accident that occurred on
Walnut was a potential on Sunset due to foot traffic in the street. He noted 82% of the survey respondents
are in favor of this project and comments tonight have been approximately 50-50 in support/opposition.
Most of the residents on Sunset are opposed to the project; residents in other areas support it. He objected
to concepts that, 1) move the sidewalk to the east side because the attraction is on the west side of the
street, 2) construct a 5-foot sidewalk on the west side because that is less than is required in a dead-end
cul-de-sac, or 3) eliminate the sidewalk on the east side.
Bill Regsdorf, Edmonds, spoke in favor of the project, finding it made a lot of sense and would make
Sunset a nicer place for residents and visitors. He envisioned after the project is built, people will recall
when it was only a narrow dirt path.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented Sunset is a very special residential neighborhood that has
become very public and that use has been accommodated over the years via minor traffic modifications
such as a one-way street and changing the parking configuration. The proposed project completely
changes the use of the neighborhood, making Sunset a recreational playground. He often parks on Sunset
to enjoy the view and disagreed with reducing the number of parking spaces. People who enjoy the view
from their vehicle have as much right as people who walk in the area. If anything is done, he
recommended providing a hard surface pathway/sidewalk. He suggested moving the curb six feet to the
east, moving parking east six feet and installing an asphalt west of the curb. He suggested installing
improvements on the south end closer to downtown. Residents on Sunset fought for their neighborhood
when BNSF proposed a fence. He anticipated an over-zealous walkway project would result in BNSF
installing a fence and he recommended returning to a simpler project.
Hearing no further comment, Mayor Earling closed public comment.
Councilmember Petso observed there appeared to be unanimous approval of the project south of Edmonds
Street. There are numerous concerns starting at the summit portion with regard to railroad ownership of
the right-of-way. There are numerous concerns with the railroad portion including loss of parallel parking
spaces. More details are requested for the Caspers portion of the project including an artist’s rendering.
She observed the prospect of terminating the project no longer exists as there is agreement on the project
south of Edmonds Street. She asked for more details regarding the Caspers portion and on two schematic
ideas, 1) no change in the railroad portion, and 2) a 5-foot sidewalk on the west side of the railroad
portion retaining the existing parking. She also suggested preparing a comparison of advantages and
disadvantages. She recommended taking further public input on those aspects of the project.
Council President Buckshnis said her concern was the cost of shoring up bluff and the use of Utility
Funds which are also taxpayer dollars. She asked for additional information including the estimated cost
of shoring up the bluff.
Packet Page 30 of 182

Councilmember Petso offered to work with staff on an analysis of alternatives for the parts of the project
under question and have it reviewed by the Parks, Planning & Public Works Committee and then to
Council for further public input. Mayor Earling suggested staff address the questions that were raised.
Councilmember Johnson expressed her support for a hard surface. The present social path is inadequate
and she was interested in something more substantial.
Council President Buckshnis asked about scheduling. Mr. Williams responded conceptual answers could
be provided to the questions raised tonight as soon as the March 18 Parks, Planning & Public Works
Committee meeting. Mayor Earling requested Mr. Williams advise Council President Buckshnis of a
specific date by tomorrow.
8. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling reported he had the great pleasure to walk his daughter down the aisle in Phoenix, Arizona
this weekend. It was a fabulous experience and a delight to witness his daughter’s wedding.
9. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council President Buckshnis reported the retreat is fast approaching; a tentative agenda will be posted on
the extended agenda. She requested agenda items be submitted by March 6.
Council President Buckshnis commended staff on the City’s receipt of a clean financial audit from the
Washington State Auditor.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas relayed Councilmember Peterson and she interviewed two candidates to
assist the Council with strengthening trust, communication, cooperation between Councilmembers and
between the Mayor and City Council. The individual that both she and Councilmember Peterson agreed
on is able to come to the retreat for an hour to describe his approach. She sought Council approval to
enter into a contract with this individual.
Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite reported three individuals were identified, one was unavailable.
The two individuals come highly recommended by other jurisdictions and people in Edmonds.
Councilmembers Fraley-Monillas and Peterson interviewed both and found Jim Reed’s collaborative style
a good fit for the City. Mr. Reed provided a scope of work that was evaluated by Councilmembers Fraley-
Monillas and Peterson.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT UP TO $6,000 WITH THE FALCONER GROUP.
Councilmember Petso inquired about a funding source. Council President Buckshnis answered City
Council professional services.
Councilmember Johnson asked whether anyone has worked with this individual before. Ms. Hite
answered the City of Edmonds hired Mr. Reed last year to do some conflict resolution at the treatment
plant; he provided excellent services. That was a different scope of work but he came highly
recommended and staff was very impressed with him.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said Mr. Reed’s scope of work includes one-on-one interviews with
councilmembers, the mayor and directors. He is a very good listener and this is likely the best place to
start. She was seeking Council approval tonight so that he could attend the retreat.

Councilmember Bloom expressed concern that this discussion was occurring during Council Comments
instead of as an agenda item. She had not had an opportunity to review the scope of work and was not
prepared to vote. She suggested delaying a decision until next week.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether Mr. Reed could be included in the retreat agenda if a
decision was delayed until next week. Ms. Hite advised Mr. Reed is available for an introductory
discussion on March 14 after 11:00 a.m. She recommended the Council enter into a contract with him
before the retreat. She will confirm that he can wait until Tuesday, March 11 to confirm his attendance on
March 14.

ITEM A: APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 4, 2014
Councilmember Bloom advised she has requested a verbatim transcript of the portion of Item 7 where
she asked Mr. Williams questions about the PSRC application. The verbatim has been provided; she
wanted an opportunity to review it. She suggested the verbatim be incorporated in the minutes and the
minutes brought back to the Council next week as a draft.
COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETSO, TO
MOVE ITEM A, APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MARCH 4, 2014,
TO NEXT WEEK.
Councilmember Johnson commented the Council seemed to be moving toward more detailed minutes
which was not necessarily in the Council’s best interest. She referred to training the Council was provided
by Ann McFarlane and her advice with regard to Robert’s Rules of Order was “the biggest and most
common mistake people make with minutes is to try and write down what people say. According to
Robert’s Rules, minutes should record what is done and not what is said.” Councilmember Johnson was
prepared to adopt the minutes as they were prepared and suggested the Council discontinue the practice of
having verbatim minutes.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said that appeared not to be Robert’s Rule of Order but rather Ann’s
Rules of Order. She preferred to continue using Robert’s Rules of Order and not someone’s interpretation
of Robert’s Rules.
Councilmember Bloom advised she requested the verbatim because she felt the written summary did not
reflect what happened. She asked the questions so that they would be in the public record and it was
important it be in the public record exactly accurate.
MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON VOTING NO.
5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Sally Wassall, Edmonds, resident on Sunset Avenue, requested the Council terminate the Sunset Avenue
walkway project. She summarized her major objections to the walkway:
1. Their neighborhood fought for six years (1995-2001) to prevent construction of a fence along the
bluff on Sunset Avenue. Washington Utilities and Transportation finally agreed not to require a
fence as long as a natural barrier of prickly vegetation was maintained to keep people off the
railroad tracks. The proposed walkway requires a 54-inch fence.
2. There is also a designated bike lane and sidewalk on the east side of Sunset as well as picnic
tables and benches on the west side.
3. Much of the walkway from Caspers to Edmonds Street would be on BNSF right-of-way. The City
has used their property for 70 years for free. The proposed walkway would require a $3,000/year
lease.
4. The walkway would be close to the railroad tracks. Tanker cars may carry hazardous materials.
5. The bluff is a part of a geologically designated hazard area because the underlying soil, custer
fine sandy loam, slides. Edmonds will be required to stabilize the 2,000 foot long bluff ; this cost
is not included in the $2 million grant request.

Patsy Ethridge Neal, Edmonds Senior Center Board President, thanked the Council for their partnership
with the Edmonds Senior Center and their support over the years. She asked the Council to continue that
support by supporting the resolution in Agenda Item 8.
Marilyn Lindberg, Edmonds, voiced her objection to the Sunset Avenue walkway. She feared citizens
would pay for cost overruns due to unforeseen problems. She questioned spending taxpayer money to
shore up BNSF’s property to construct a sidewalk, commenting there are more important projects that this
sidewalk such as correcting street flooding at intersections, roadway improvements, filling potholes and
adding parking downtown. She preferred to address things in need of repair instead of starting a new
project that has problems before it even begins.
Jim Wassall, Edmonds, asked how the 2011-2012 survey mentioned by Mr. Williams in his presentation
was publicized, relaying that he lives on Sunset Avenue and never saw the survey. He disputed the claim
that response to the proposed walkway was overwhelmingly positive and said he never saw an article in
the Edmonds Beacon about the survey. He suggested establishing a 3-hour parking limit on Sunset,
enforcing the 20 mph speed limit, and making the bike lane on the east side 2-way. He reported people
using walkers, wheelchairs, crutches and strollers currently walk on the sidewalk on the east side of
Sunset and a friend and his wife often park on Sunset to eat their lunch.
Farrell Fleming, Edmonds Senior Center Executive Director, voiced his support for the resolution in
Agenda Item 8. The resolution is a critical first step in a lengthy process; without it, the endeavor to build
a new senior center and community center on the current waterfront site cannot go forward. The City’s
Strategic Plan designates the senior center, a 501c3 non-profit organization, as the lead agency to
“develop a long term solution for maintaining and updating the senior center.” The 2014-2019 Capital
Facilities Plan describes the same project as “replace and enlarge deteriorating senior center building
complex on the city waterfront.” The new building will function both as a senior center and as a
community center; he envisioned many parks, recreation and cultural service programs in the new center
including possibly a teen night on Friday evenings as well as many other community organizations
making use of the facility. On behalf of the thousands of seniors and their families who have benefited
from the senior center over the past 46 years, he relayed their sincere thanks and appreciation for City
staff and elected officials who have helped make the senior center a remarkable place.
Alvin Rutledge, Edmonds, suggested the new Development Services Director and Finance Director talk
to the people who are opposed to the Sunset Avenue walkway. He also commented on revenue forecasts.
Ron Wambolt, Edmonds, welcomed Councilmember Mesaros. He suggested holding a public hearing
before approving the resolution in Agenda Item 8. He referred to Item 2 in the resolution, the City
Council would like to reaffirm the intent of resolution No. 943 which supports the demolition of the
current Edmonds Senior Center and construction of a new Edmonds Senior Center at current location. He
has heard and there were comments at the retreat that some citizens believe there are other uses for that
property. As the resolution was drafted by Council President Buckshnis and she is on the Senior Center
Board, he suggested she recuse herself from voting on the resolution.
Marta Card, Edmonds Senior Center Board Member, described her interest in creating a community
center for Edmonds and the community’s support for building a new senior center. She relayed her
question to Harv Harrison about how to most effective and his response, “we’ve been trying to build that
center for years and it’s time, you have the right team and I think you should go for it.” She expressed
support for the resolution in Agenda Item 8.
Rose Cantwell, Edmonds, was proud to have been a member of the Edmonds Senior Center for 15 years
and of the non-profit corporation that has operates the facility for 45 years. For at least the past 10 years,
Packet Page 37 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 5
the members, staff and volunteers have raised 70% of the center’s operating budget. She requested the
Council support the resolution in Agenda Item 8. She relayed the senior center use of the site is a better
prospect than luxury condominiums.
Dick Van Hollebeke, Edmonds, praised the Council for working together last week to select Thomas
Mesaros who he believed would be an excellent Councilmember. As a trustee at Edmonds Community
College, he worked with Councilmember Mesaros in the past and found him to be bright, ethical, capable
of building consensus and working with a diverse group of people. He commended the Council on
holding a retreat last week, certain that it made giant strides in the Council working together. He also
commended the Council for hiring a consultant to help the Council work together for the betterment of
Edmonds. When he was a Councilmember, his goal was a win-win situation, and while that could not
always be accomplished, everyone can row in the same direction for the betterment of Edmonds.
Dave Page, Edmonds, welcomed Councilmember Mesaros. He jokingly said Ron Wambolt was a
communist. He urged the Council to support the resolution regarding the senior center. He was confident
the right people were in place for a successful capital campaign to raise money to build a new senior
center. He pointed out the property was deeded to the City with a provision that it be used in perpetuity as
a senior center. He concluded no one in the audience at the senior center members meeting was opposed
to building a new senior center.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, urged the Council to approve the resolution, assuring the new building
would be funded via a capital campaign, not by the City. Next, he advocated for some reasonable use of
Sunset Avenue. A visitor to Sunset Avenue for over 40 years, that uses the view, he feared any
development on the west side would result in a requirement for a fence which would affect visitors as
well as residents. He questioned whether the proposal was a hard surface for people to walk or a
recreation area, noting portions of Sunset are quite narrow. He congratulated and welcomed
Councilmember Mesaros.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas raised a point of personal privilege. She assured Ron Wambolt was not a
communist. She also said the resolution regarding the Edmonds Senior Center is from the Council, not an
individual Councilmember. Therefore, it was not appropriate to ask Council President Buckshnis not to
participate in the vote.
Councilmember Johnson questioned the use of point of personal privilege. City Attorney Jeff Taraday
read the rule regarding point of personal privilege: “types of questions of privilege: questions of privilege
are of two types, 1) those relating to the privilege of the assembly as a whole, and 2) questions of personal
privilege. If the two come into competition, the former take precedence over the latter. Questions of the
privileges of the assembly may relate to its organization or existence, to the comfort of its members with
respect to heating, ventilation, lighting and noise or other disturbance; to the conduct of its officers and
employees or of visitors; the punishment of…” Mayor Earling ruled in favor of allowing Councilmember
Fraley-Monillas’ comments.

6. UPDATE ON EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT #15 BY ESD SUPERINTENDENT
Nick Brossoit, Edmonds School District Superintendent, advised this is his 10th year as superintendent
of the ESD. He expressed his appreciation for the working relationship with Edmonds and other
municipalities in the ESD. He thanked the community for their support of the February 11 renewal of the
replacement levy and the passage of the bond issue. He referred to an information sheet that was provided
to the Council that described progress on major projects in the District and offered to respond to Council
questions.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas inquired about the successful levy. Dr. Brossoit explained there were
two measures on the ballot, 1) replacement of the levy that supports the General Fund and provides 23%
of their operating funds was approved with 65% yes votes, and 2) a capital project bond issue to
modernize a number of buildings that are in disrepair was approved with 63% yes votes. He expressed
appreciation for the voters’ support. The District understands and is mindful of how precious public
resources are and works hard to get value from every dollar in their projects.
Council President Buckshnis relayed the Council discussed a diversity statement and forming a diversity
committee. She noted the information sheet Dr. Brossoit provided had Spanish on one side and English
on the other. Dr. Brossoit advised there are many families in the District that are not fluent in English and
encounter barriers and challenges accessing the school system. Although society often talks about closing
the achievement gap, there are financial poverty related challenges and language challenges for some
homes. The community needs to maintain the positive momentum for students and families to be
successful in the public school system and modify the system to help everyone be successful.
Mayor Earling thanked Dr. Brossoit for the working relationship between the City and the ESD. He has
had an opportunity to work on several projects, most recently the partnership between ESD, the City,
Verdant and the State legislature on the former Woodway High School fields. Dr. Brossoit expressed his
appreciation for the partnership with the City, commenting his interaction with Councilmembers during
his 10 years as superintendent has always been very positive. He appreciated the way Mayor Earling
looks at the big picture and what is in the best interest of the entire community. He commented it is easy
to have a partnership when the partners are good people who work together.
6A. AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
SHANNON & WILSON FOR TASKS TO COMPLETE THE FINAL FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR
THE WILLOW CREEK DAYLIGHTING/EDMONDS MARSH RESTORATION PROJECT AND
AUTHORIZE A MANAGEMENT RESERVE OF $22,600 FOR OPTIONAL TASKS A & B
(Previously Item 14)
Stormwater Engineering Program Manager Jerry Shuster explained the project was funded in part by the
Salmon Recovery Funding (SRF) Board, Puget Sound Acquisition and Recovery Fund (PSAR). He
displayed an aerial map of the project context, identifying Willow Creek, Shellabarger Creek and the
Willow Creek outfall. He relayed the overall project goals:
• Daylight Willow Creek:
o Restore tidal inflow into Edmonds Marsh to improve fish passage conditions – SRF Board
Funding – Habitat Benefit
o Reduce frequent flooding of adjacent properties – City of Edmonds funding – Hydrologic
Benefit
Keeley O’Connell, Senior Project Manager, EarthCorps, described the important of this project, what
a unique opportunity it is and what a rare gem the marsh is. The Edmonds Marsh is the only intact and
functional marsh habitat of its size remaining between Everett and Tacoma but it is inaccessible to salmon
and has limits in its ability to function for birds. Historically tens of thousands of juvenile salmon would
Packet Page 39 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 7
have entered Edmonds Marsh on a daily basis, foraging, rearing and growing, leaving to grow to full size
and returning 3-5 years later for spawning. Today juvenile salmon of all species would use the marsh if
they could access it, particularly Chinook salmon which are listed as threatened on the Endangered
Species List. Fish from all major rivers in Puget Sound as well as the Frazier River in BC would utilize
this system if they could access it. If the system were restored adult Coho could potential spawn in the
lower regions of Willow Creek.
Ms. O’Connell described the results of the early feasibility study completed in 2013:
• Daylighting Willow Creek is feasible though Marina Beach Park and will provide improved
access to estuarine marsh habitat suitable for juvenile Chinook salmon.
• The project will likely reduce flood water surface elevations in the Marsh during large rain
events.
Goals of the project include:
• Evaluate marsh outlet configuration(s) through Marina Beach Park that would allow for juvenile
fish access to the marsh during the spring and summer nearshore rearing period
• Evaluate the need for structural measures in the proposed channel to:
o Improve fish passage conditions
o Protect property and local infrastructure from channel migration
• Determine the need for a self-regulating tide gate in the proposed channel to protect from coastal
flooding sources
• Work with the stakeholders in the area to maximize aquatic habitat:
o Port of Edmonds
o WSDOT including Ferries Division
o Unocal/Chevron
o BNSF Railway
Mr. Shuster identified the consultant team:
• Shannon & Wilson, Inc. – Prime – Project Management, Civil Engineering, geotechnical and
environmental support.
• Subconsultants:
o Anchor QEA, LLC, - Hydrodynamic/costal modeling
o Confluence Environmental - Fisheries expert
o Leidos Engineering, LLC - Hydrologic modeling
o Cultural Resource Consultants – Cultural and Historic Resource reviews
o DHA, Inc. -Surveyors
Mr. Shuster reviewed project funding:
• RCO Grant – approved by Council on February 18, 2014 - $200,000.
• Stormwater Utility Fund -
o Consultant - $137,060 including the $22,600 in management reserve for optional tasks.
o Approx. $8,000 in City Staff time to manage project.
• Spending Authority in 2014 budget - $500,000
Council President Buckshnis advised the recommendation was to include Options A and B. She expressed
support for the final feasibility study.

Center and all of the volunteers and members of the Edmonds Senior Center are to be
commended for their efforts to date to seek to construct a new Edmonds Senior Center on its

COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PETERSON, TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AS READ.
Council President Buckshnis explained Councilmember Fraley-Monillas and she used to be on the Senior
Center Board; she is still on the Board, Councilmember Fraley-Monillas’ term expired last year. She
asked whether she should recuse herself from the vote as Mr. Wambolt suggested. City Attorney Jeff
Taraday explained State law refers to beneficial interest in contracts and requires Councilmembers to
recuse themselves from that type of vote. He did not sense there was any contract from which Council
President Buckshnis would profit. He was not aware of anything in State law that would prevent her from
voting but reasonable minds can differ with regard to perception. In some instances Councilmembers
voluntarily recuse themselves even if the law does not require it. He encouraged the Council to formulate
an ethics policy that outlined the expectation for voting on such matters.
MOTION CARRIED (6-0-1), COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS ABSTAINED.

Mayor Earling explained the purpose of the closed record hearing was for the City Council to consider the
Planning Board’s recommendation that property located at 7533 228th Street Southwest be rezoned from
Residential Multifamily RM2.4 to Residential Multifamily RM 1.5. A rezone is a Type IV-B application
where staff makes a recommendation to the Planning Board and the Planning Board forwards a
recommendation to the City Council for final action.
Mayor Earling opened the closed record public hearing and described the procedures. The City Clerk will
make a recording of the proceedings. There will be no opportunity during the closed record hearing for
public testimony. The parties of record would normally include the applicant and any person who testified
at the open record public hearing on the application and any person who individually submitted written
comments concerning the application at the open record public hearing. In this case there was no
testimony other than the presentation by staff and no written comments were received. Therefore staff
will be the only presenter.
Mayor Earling explained the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine requires the hearing be fair in form,
substance and appearance. The hearing must not only be fair, it must also appear to be fair. He asked
whether any member of the decision-making body has engaged in communication with opponents or
proponents regarding the issues in this matter outside the public hearing process. Councilmembers Fraley-
Monillas, Peterson, Petso, Johnson, Bloom and Mesaros, Council President Buckshnis and Mayor Earling
stated they had not had any communication outside the public hearing process.
Mayor Earling asked if any member of the Council had a conflict of interest or believed he/she could not
consider and hear the application in a fair and objective manner. Council President Buckshnis,
Councilmembers Mesaros, Bloom, Johnson, Petso, Peterson and Fraley-Monillas, and Mayor Earling
stated they had no conflicts. Mayor Earling asked whether any audience member objected to his or any
Councilmembers’ participation. There were no objections voiced. Mayor Earling advised only staff will

be presenting and staff will be allowed 5 minutes for their presentation. Council agreed with this
procedure.
Planner Mike Clugston displayed Attachment 2 to Exhibit 2, an aerial photograph of the site and
identified the site, just east of Hwy 99, south of the Ranch Market in a transitional area of retail and
apartment uses to the west and north and residential to the south and east. In order to approve a rezone,
ECDC Chapter 20.40 identified six factors for consideration:
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Clugston displayed
Attachment 4 to Exhibit 2, a Comprehensive Plan map for the area with this parcel highlighted. The
Comprehensive Plan designation for the parcel is Corridor Development within the Highway 99
Corridor and Medical/Highway 99 Activity Center. Compatible zoning classifications for this
designation include General Commercial and appropriate transitional zones including RM-2.4 and
RM-1.5. The Planning Board found the proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
since the RM-1.5 zoning classification is one of the possible implementing zone for the Highway 99
Corridor
2. Whether the proposal is consistent with the purposes of the zoning ordinance, and whether the
proposal is consistent with the purposes of the proposed zone district. Mr. Clugston displayed
Attachment 3, the current Zoning Map with the parcel highlighted. The subject parcel was annexed on
July 26, 1961 and zoned R6-A by the City at that time. The site was redeveloped with the 8-unit
building that exists on the site in early 1964 under that zoning. The City subsequently rezoned the site
RML later in 1964 when new multifamily zone designations were created. When the City
implemented the current multifamily zones in 1980, the site was rezoned to RM-2.4. This designation
made the site non-conforming with regard to the number of dwelling units, only 7 were allowed on
the site under RM-2.4. Rezoning the parcel from RM-2.4 to RM-1.5 would bring the existing 8 units
back into conformance with density. It would also allow for the possible creation of up to three
additional dwelling units. While three additional units would be possible, the applicant’s intent at this
time is to create one additional dwelling unit within the existing accessory structure on the site that
was approved in 1966.
The Planning Board determined rezoning the parcel to RM-1.5 is consistent with the zoning
ordinance and zone district. The existing nonconforming density on the site would become
conforming by the change and allow the applicant to establish an additional dwelling unit in the
existing accessory structure on the site.
3. The relationship of the proposed zoning change to the existing land uses and zoning of
surrounding or nearby property. Mr. Clugston referred to the Zoning Map, explaining rezoning the
subject parcel from RM-2.4 to RM-1.5 would result in little external change from existing conditions
given the applicant’s desire to create living space in the existing accessory structure on the site. The
parcel to the west is zoned RM-2.4 but the existing structure has been used for offices under a
conditional use permit since 1974. The parcel immediately to the east and south of 228th has been
zoned and developed single family residential since the area was annexed in 1961. The Planning
Board found the proposed rezone is appropriate in relation to the transitional nature of the
surrounding area and that little external impact would result from the proposed zoning change.
4. Whether there has been sufficient change in the character of the immediate or surrounding
area or in city policy to justify the rezone. Mr. Clugston explained the transitional character of the
immediate and surrounding area has remained largely unchanged for many years with the exception
of the parcel immediately to the north of the subject site. That parcel had been zoned Business
Commercial for many years but was downzoned in 1995 to RM-1.5 to allow for the development of
the low-income senior apartment complex that was built there in 2006. The proposed rezone would
Packet Page 44 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 12
also assist in fulfilling the City’s goal of providing housing for new population growth under the
GMA. The Planning Board found there has been sufficient change in the immediate vicinity and City
policy to justify the rezone.
5. Whether the property is economically and physically suitable for the uses allowed under the
existing zoning, and under the proposed zoning. Mr. Clugston explained while the parcel is
suitable for development at RM-2.4 or RM-1.5, densities and uses allowed in the zone and
development standards are identical. The site is currently served by all utilities and has good access
including transportation options such as a Community Transit stop adjacent to the site on 228th and
the Interurban Trail to the east. There are currently 16 on-site parking stalls. The 8 existing 2-
bedroom units require 14 stalls. Adding 1 additional 1-bedroom unit in the existing accessory
structure on the site would require an additional 1.5 stalls or a total of 15.5 stalls. A building permit
would be required to transform the accessory structure into livable space. The accessory structure
received a building permit in 1966; the structure is now non-conforming with regard to setbacks and
can only be remodeled in conformance with the City’s non-conforming code. The Planning Board
determined the site is suitable for the project as envisioned by the applicant. Should the site be
completely redeveloped in the future, the project would be required to meet all codes in effect at that
time for setbacks, height, parking, landscaping, etc.
6. The relative gain to the public health, safety and welfare compared to the potential increase or
decrease in value to the property owners. Mr. Clugston explained the applicant would realize
increased value as the existing density would no longer be considered nonconforming. A small
amount of additional income would likely result from an additional dwelling units as well as a small
increase in tax valuation. If the property were redeveloped more fully with another RM use such as
offices or daycare, additional value would likely accrue to the owner and the taxing districts. There
does not appear to be much gain otherwise to the public health, safety and welfare since utilities and
similar improvements already serve the site. The Planning Board found there appears to only be a
small gain to the applicant and to the public safety, health and welfare as current envisioned. A larger
gain to the applicant would likely be realized if the site were completely redeveloped regardless of
whether the site was zoned RM-1.5 or RM-2.4
Mr. Clugston summarized the Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of the rezone based
on the Findings of Fact analysis included in the attachment to the February 4, 2014 staff report because
the proposed change will bring the site into conformance with density while allowing the flexibility to
establish an additional dwelling unit in accordance with the requirements of the zoning ordinance. If the
Council upholds the Planning Board’s recommendation, the Council should direct the City Attorney to
prepare the rezone ordinance.
Councilmember Petso asked whether the purpose of the rezone was to allow the former laundry building
to be occupied as a dwelling unit. Mr. Clugston agreed that is the applicant’s intent but that is not what
the Council is approving; the Council is asked to approve a rezone.
Councilmember Petso observed the former laundry building is nonconforming. Mr. Clugston answered
yes, with respect to setbacks. Councilmember Petso asked if the existing occupied building was
nonconforming with regard to setbacks. Mr. Clugston answered he believed it was conforming with
regard to setbacks. Councilmember Petso observed the current use on the site was nonconforming. Mr.
Clugston answered the current number of dwelling units was nonconforming but multifamily residential
is an allowed use.
Councilmember Petso relayed typically a nonconforming use was not allowed to expand. Mr. Clugston
answered it would not be expanded; this request was to change the zoning to allow the additional 3
Packet Page 45 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 13
dwelling units and to bring the building that became nonconforming in 1980 back into conformance.
Councilmember Petso asked whether the proposal needed to meet all the criteria Mr. Clugston reviewed
or only some of them. Mr. Clugston answered it did not need to meet them all; the Planning Board found
it met them all.
Councilmember Petso asked whether this decision would set a precedent for other properties along the
Highway 99 corridor or were the circumstances of this application sufficiently unique. Mr. Clugston
answered the circumstances were unique; the fact that the building was constructed under one zone and a
later zoning change made it nonconforming. The applicant’s request to rezone the site to a zone that is
still recognized as implementing the Comprehensive Plan makes it a reasonable request. The development
standards for RM-2.4 and RM-1.5 are exactly the same, the only difference is the number of dwelling
units. Councilmember Petso asked whether the Council’s decision would set a precedent for other
properties along Highway 99. Mr. Clugston answered no.
Councilmember Bloom complimented Mr. Clugston on his report; she found it very easy to follow and
comprehensive. She asked whether the adjacent property owners’ list is provided by the property owner.
Mr. Clugston responded the applicant provides the list. Councilmember Bloom asked whether the City
sends out the notices to surrounding property owners. Mr. Clugston answered yes.
Mayor Earling remanded to Council for deliberation and action.
Councilmember Petso commented she was uncomfortable with the proposal because it is immediately
adjacent to a single family parcel and yet the request is to rezone it to maximum density multifamily. She
preferred to retain the medium density multifamily to allow it to better serve as a transitional area which
would be consistent with the purposes of the zoning ordinance. The zoning ordinance indicates a desire to
provide for a range of densities; rezoning every parcel in Edmonds to the maximum density would not
provide for a range of densities. She was inclined to retain the current zoning designation as transitional
area immediately adjacent to single family seemed like a good parcel not to rezone to maximum density
multifamily. She commented allowing a smaller number of units may result in larger units which would
better accommodate families.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas was comfortable with adding one more unit to the site. The site
immediately to the north has approximately 60 units and the parcel to the southwest has approximately
100 units.
Council President Buckshnis commented on the desire for consistency in zoning and she did not object to
the proposed rezone from RM-2.4 to RM-1.5.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether low income senior housing was constructed in 2006. Mr. Clugston
agreed. Councilmember Bloom asked whether that was the current use of the property and whether there
was any reason to expect that would change. Mr. Clugston agreed that was the current use of the property
and he was not aware of any proposed change. Councilmember Bloom asked whether the additional unit
would be low income senior housing. Mr. Clugston answered that was not in the record. The existing
units are market rate; he assumed the new unit would also be market rate. Councilmember Bloom was
comfortable with the rezone to RM-2.4; it would make the site conforming as well as allow one additional
unit. The parking would still comply.
Councilmember Petso clarified the rezone was not just allowing one more unit. If the owner decides to
redevelop the site, 11 units could be allowed. She understood this was a unique case due to the
nonconforming nature and she could understand the desire to rezone it just to make it conforming. She
suggested this was a good example of a location where transitional zoning was appropriate. If the intent
Packet Page 46 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 14
was to rezone everything to maximum density, she suggested the policy regarding providing a range of
densities and providing transition be taken out of the zoning code.
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO UPHOLD THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING BOARD AND
DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE FOR APPROVAL ON THE
CONSENT AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER PETSO VOTING NO.
10. PUBLIC HEARING AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON POTENTIAL SALE OF SURPLUS CITY
PROPERTY LOCATED NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF 184TH STREET SW AND 80TH
AVENUE W (TAX PARCEL #00370800101200)
Senior Planner Kernen Lien displayed a location map, identifying the City’s Parcel and the Angler’s
Crossing Plat/PRD. He explained for the past 17 years this property has been associated with the Angler’s
Crossing Plat/PRD. Angler’s Crossing received preliminary approval in January 2007. While preliminary
plat approvals are valid for a period of ten years, the PRD associated with the plat expired in January
2012 and essentially the plat cannot move forward without the PRD. The City has been approached
regarding the potential sale of the property. The public hearing tonight is only regarding the potential sale
of the City’s owned parcel. The City Council discussed the potential sale at the end of February. Public
notices for the public hearing were mailed to property owners within 300 feet as well as to those on the
parties of record list from Angler’s Crossing and the site was posted.
Councilmember Petso asked whether this property could be used for infiltration or other stormwater
purposes if the City retained ownership. Public Works Director Phil Williams responded this question
arose several months ago and the consultant Rick Schaefer, Tetra Tech, who is studying the Perrinville
Creek Basin was asked to opine on that subject. Little data was available at the beginning of the study; his
initial response was yes, stormwater could be infiltrated on that property and he described various ways
that could happen. Subsequent work on the Perrinville Creek study identified other parcels and staff
indicated to Council that although stormwater could be infiltrated on that parcel, there was nothing so
unique about it that other parcels could not be used for that purpose such as city-owned property across
the street in the park that is larger, has better access and could accommodate a larger facility.
Mayor Earling opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Gene Wisemiller, Edmonds, compared selling this property to selling an heirloom for cash, pointing out
there is value in things beyond their monetary value. The cash from the sale will end up in the General
Fund and disappear and the land, the trees and the habitat would be gone, replaced with houses. This is
one of only a few opportunities to retain undeveloped land. He urged the Council not to sell the property.
Dawna Lahti, Edmonds, described reveling in the shady curves where native trees grace both sides of
the road while driving on Olympic View Drive toward Meadowdale. When walking on the trails, they are
grateful for in-city wilderness; this natural area is roughly contiguous with that area. She commented on
trees holding water to prevent floods, holding soil to prevent slides and vibrating to lessen noise pollution;
decimation of wildlife corridors that results in the loss of entire species and the opportunity to preserve
one of the last wild places in Edmonds. She urged the Council to retain this forest.
Alan Mearns, Edmonds, distributed written materials. He urged the Council not to sell this property and
to consider turning it into a City wildlife preserve for the benefit of all citizens. He described the decline
in number and diversity of birds in his yard during the past 15 years as tall trees in the Maplewood area
have been removed. He referred to the importance of the canopy connectivity; Southwest County Park is
connected by a thin band of trees to 196th, allowing birds and wildlife to move between the three major
parks. Removing the trees on this property will ruin that corridor. A comparison of 1990 and 2014 aerial
Packet Page 47 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 15
photographs shows a 50% reducing in forest cover and trees. He urged the Council to think about the
wildlife and instead of looking at location maps, to look at aerial photographs. He also encouraged the
Council to visit the site before they voted.
Brian Furby, Edmonds, requested the property not be sold and strongly advocated for combining this
0.6 acre with the remaining property to establish a city park. He commented, 1) this would connect
Seaview Park with the Southwest County Park, 2) once the trees are removed they are gone, 3) the
previous PRD required removing thousands of cubic yards of dirt, resulting in a great deal of truck traffic,
4) tree removal will result in numerous logging trucks, 5) once developed the area will have more
impervious surfaces, 6) City has spent a great deal to address issues associated with Perrinville Creek and
development will create more problems, and 7) it is critical the trees and habitat remain. Creating a park
will retain badly needed urban forest, fit well with the recently approve PROS Plan and be a wonderful
picnic area, nature center and hiking trails. He suggested the City seek grants to assist with funding
acquisition of the properties. This would be a win for the neighborhood, the environment, the wildlife and
future Edmonds residents.
Suzie Schaefer, Edmonds, said she has also seen changes due to the loss of trees. Approximately four
years ago a group of people started the Edmonds Wildlife Habitat Native Plant Demonstration Garden at
the hatchery due to concern with the loss of wildlife, birds, insects and reptiles and a desire to make the
community more wildlife friendly. They conduct workshops and many citizens volunteer at the garden.
She questioned identifying this property as surplus, pointing out it is necessary as it is already wildlife
friendly. Those involved in the demonstration garden would be happy to work with the City on natural
ways to use this property.
Rene VanLoveren, Edmonds, representing four property owners of Woods Creek Place tracts 999 and
100 on 76th Avenue West across from the Angler’s Crossing PRD. The 1.4 acre Tract 999 is a native
growth protection area through which Perrinville Creek flows and each resident has an equal ¼ interest.
Perrinville Creek is a salmon bearing stream and they have seen resident trout and other wildlife. When
their properties were developed in 1992, the City required the builder to preserve Tract 999 as open space.
The City should require this of its own properties and not sell it. One of their major concerns is the
Angler’s Crossing PRD’s plan to pipe the runoff from the 27 homes under Olympic View Drive and into
Perrinville Creek where it runs through their property. In addition to chemicals that cause environmental
damage, current water flows are already too high, erosion has increased over the years and a typical
rainfall causes the creek to overflow. They prefer the City retain ownership of the property which could
reduce the number of homes built in the PRD, limit damage to the local environment as well as preserve
the natural habitat and complement the existing park and trail system.
Rebecca Wolfe, Edmonds, urged the Council not to sell the property, noting the Council is the trustee of
the land but citizens own the property. She read from a book, “Natures Trust,” about the Public Trust
Doctrine. She was thankful the marsh had not been designated surplus, noting the urban forest should not
be considered surplus and should be considered a highly valuable part of protecting the environment, air,
water, streams, wildlife and human health. She suggested consideration be given to purchasing the
surrounding area for a park.
Duane Farmen, Edmonds, commented by selling the property, the City loses the opportunity to
purchase the adjacent land for a park, recreation and open space (PROS) project. The site has many large
trees, steep slopes, two deep ravines, a wetland and is an important watershed of Perrinville Creek.
Selling the property sets the stage for the adjoining property to be developed resulting in destruction of
the Perrinville Creek watershed where the City plans to spend an $188,000 Department of Ecology grant
and $200,000 in City funds on a watershed/stormwater study with the intent of reducing stormwater flows
into Perrinville Creek. He urged the Council not to sell the property and do whatever was necessary to
Packet Page 48 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 16
purchase the adjacent property to preserve the land for a future PROS project. He suggested financing the
purchase of the property by, 1) setting aside other CIP projects to accumulate sufficient funds and seeking
grant funds for those CIP projects, or 2) waiver of retroactivity with the State. He asked the Council to do
what is right to protect this watershed and these woodlands for a future city park.
William Lider, Lynnwood, spoke against the sale of the property to facilitate a private development
project. As a professional civil engineer specializing in stormwater erosion issues, he represented local
property owners adjacent to the creek and he has viewed the damage caused by thoughtless development.
Perrinville Creek suffers frequent damaging flows from Lynnwood as well as toxic runoff from
Lynnwood’s municipal golf course. Edmonds and Lynnwood’s failure to properly adopt more stringent
stormwater design requirements has further damaged the creek. He commented on the high flow bypass
Edmonds installed in Perrinville Creek in the 1990s and the recent rerouting of stormwater from Talbot
Road five feet below Perrinville Creek. To correct past insults to Perrinville Creek, the City should
discourage removal or clearing of any large tracts of negative vegetation in the lower reach of the basin.
The City should also adopt the 2012 Ecology Stormwater Manual for Western Washington and amend the
manual to incorporate low impact development.
Bill Rankin, Edmonds, recognized people in the audience who opposed the sale of the property and
urged the Council to vote no on the sale of the City-owned property. He suggested the reason this land
had not previously been developed was previous stewards understood the ravine was one of the tributaries
to Perrinville Creek, decision-makers knew it was wrong to allow deforestation, grading, surface changes
to a natural watershed, or City government and land use experts understand this land can never be
sustainably used in a resident development. Although some may think this is only the sale of the City-
owned property, in reality it is about a 27-lot development and the domino effect it will have. He
suggested consideration be given to a project that is beneficial to the community whether that is a new
park, preservation district or restoration of the watershed and salmon habitat. He requested the Council do
their part to represent the citizens and vote no on the sale of this property.
Alvin Rutledge, Edmonds, commented the audience was not asked before the hearing began whether
anyone opposed any Councilmember’s participation. He understood some Councilmembers live close to
this property. He feared there could be a petition drive if the Council voted to sell the property and if the
City continued selling property, there would be none left.
Warren Hendersen, Edmonds, commented this property is heavily wooded even the area that has been
approved for development. He urged the City to retain every opportunity to maintain the rural character
and woodsy environment. The Council should not allow this valuable wildlife habitat and forested parcel
to be sold.
Shelli Morris, Edmonds, explained she was born and raised in Edmonds, moved away and then chose to
return and purchase her parents’ home in Seaview. She urged the Council to visit the Seaview area, a
beautiful neighborhood with a lot of trees, children and wildlife. She urged the Council not to sell the
property, envisioning her daughter could purchase the house as an adult.
McKenzie James, Edmonds, described seeing bats, coyotes and other wildlife in the area. One of the
main reasons her family purchased their house was the forest across the street. If the property were
developed, removing the trees would destroy the wildlife. The trees on the property are beautiful, tall and
old and the property drops from the street into a ravine. She urged the Council to leave the property as a
park and not to sell it.
Erin Way, Edmonds, explained they purchased their home due to the blends of wood and homes and the
feeling of an established neighborhood. The purchase was an investment in her future; her children love
Packet Page 49 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 17
nature and visit Seaview Park daily. She was concerned with the ravine on the property, increased traffic
from development, and the impact development would have on the neighborhood and wildlife. She
relayed none of the five families in her child’s preschool class were pleased when they hear developing
this property was an option. Although she was not anti-development, this was a poor choice for the
wooded neighborhood.
Tina Marone relayed seeing many trees around their house removed through development and the
resulting changes in the neighborhood. She spoke in favor of preserving this property as a community
park, commenting this would be a wonderful opportunity to teach children to be stewards of the
environment and the fragile ecosystem.
Anna Marone commented this forest is not just a piece of land, it is a home to many animals. Removing
the forest would affect the animals.
Eric Goodman, Edmonds, encouraged the Council not to sell the property. He purchased his home a
year ago; he is an urban planner who wanted sidewalks and his wife is a botanist who wanted intact
woods. He urged the Council to preserve the woods.
Julie Cuhen, Edmonds, commented the Seaview neighborhood is an anomaly, a beautiful wooded area.
Her children love going to Seaview Park and walking the wooded trails. Preserving this land is important
for the neighborhood and for children who are embracing nature. She urged the Council not to sell the
property.
Cheryl Jones commented whatever money the City received for the sale of the property, will likely be
spend on the drainage problem in the area. The City has been out numerous times in the last five years
including when the road collapsed five years ago and required extensive work. She feared the sale of the
property would result in more drainage issues.
Dick Van Hollebeke, Edmonds, pointed out the Council was considering selling one piece of property, a
heavily treed, steep ravine with rights-of-way for water, sewer and electricity that would never be
developed. There have been two previously public hearings where at least 100 people testified largely
about the same things. The people that own the property are in their 80s and have been trying to sell the
property for a good portion of their lives. The property is for sale and the owners have the right to develop
it in accordance with the RS-8 zoning in a way that would look identical to the rest of the neighborhood.
The vacant lot the Council is considering selling would remain a vacant lot; it was added to the PRD
because it added square footage and allowed lots to be shifted. The Council’s responsibility is to consider
all citizens’ rights; the property owners of the adjacent property have a right to develop their property.
Regardless of whether the Council sells the property, the configuration of that lot will not change.
Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Earling closed the public participation portion of the public
hearing.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if there was a wetland on the City-owned property. Mr. Lien
answered there was a small wetland in the middle of the PRD; he did not know the exact location.
Councilmember Petso relayed some possible ideas, 1) not sell the parcel yet, 2) complete the drainage
study of the Perrinville Drainage Basin, 3) evaluate the value of the parcel for critical areas, steep slope or
wetland, as a wildlife corridor and as a potential pedestrian corridor, 4) refer consideration of the 2012
Stormwater manual to the Parks, Planning & Public Works Committee, and 5) commit to the idea of not
actively considering the sale of the property again without public notice and a public hearing. She
understood the concerns the public raised and recognized the adjacent parcels are owned by another
Packet Page 50 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 18
property owner who may choose to build regardless of whether the City sells this property. She
commented this property cannot be surplus if the City may want to use it to address drainage issues or to
create a wildlife corridor. She was not inclined to vote to surplus the property tonight. The Council
received a great deal of good information from citizens tonight on ways to move forward with
investigating the value of the parcel to the City.
Council President Buckshnis thanked everyone who has emailed and spoke at a Council meeting, noting
she has never received this many emails about a topic. She agreed with Councilmember Petso that the
property should not be surplused because it may be needed in the future. She supported moving forward
pragmatically, the adjacent property is for sale but a new PRD would be required. She summarized the
property is valuable to the drainage basin and wildlife.
Councilmember Mesaros asked if there was anything to keep the current owner of the other parcels from
moving forward with development and how many houses could be developed. Mr. Lien answered the
property owners could apply for development on the remaining property. With regard to the number of
units that could be developed on the remaining property, Angler’s Crossing was a 27-lot PRD. The
remaining property is 4.69 acres; with the RS-8 zone, 25 lots could potentially be developed on the
remaining property, not including the City’s parcel. City Attorney Jeff Taraday cautioned there is often a
difference between the highest potential number of lots based on the acreage and what could actually be
achieved on a site once the topography, roads, and other factors are taken into account.
Councilmember Mesaros asked if there would be a 10 lot difference. Mr. Taraday answered that would be
speculation. Mr. Lien answered a PRD can potentially have smaller lots and set aside portions of the
property in open space which was proposed in Angler’s Crossing. There were certain restrictions in the
contract rezone for the property that limits the amount of impervious surface to 21% coverage. He
summarized a number of lots could be developed on the site.
Councilmember Peterson commented the surrounding parcels are privately owned and can be developed.
He was uncertain what that means to the City parcel that cannot be developed, whether there was a way
the funds received from the sale could be dedicated to the study of Perrinville Creek to ensure that
drainage study is better funded. If development occurred via a PRD application, there would be a public
process. Whoever owns the lands would be able to develop it; the question is how the Council and the
community can help guide that development to ensure it fits the sense of the neighborhood and address
the environmental impacts of tree canopy, stormwater, etc. A development cannot be rejected simply
because the neighbors do not like it. If the City owned all the property, it would be an easy decision not to
sell it but the City owns only a small parcel. While this property could be used for stormwater infiltration,
there are likely better properties for significant stormwater retention.
Councilmember Peterson assured none of the Council takes this lightly, the reality is the Council’s
decision will not stop a future development unless the City purchases all the property. That is a different
decision and one that needs to be balanced with many issues such as other park acquisitions and general
infrastructure issues. The other parcels can and probably will be developed. It is important to build
sensibly to accommodate a growing population.
Councilmember Bloom commented it is an easy decision to keep property that has other value to the City.
Many of the issues Councilmember Peterson raised are appropriate to be considered in other venues such
as the code rewrite. The only change created by the City not selling this property is the developer could
not build two addition homes that were allowed with this property in the original, expired PRD. She
received 26 emails, all opposed to the sale of this property, and 19 people spoke tonight opposed to the
sale of this property. Other code related issues can be addressed in another venue; it is an easy decision
not to sell the property to protect critical areas, open space and trees.

Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she visited the property and was not convinced it was worth it to the
City to sell the property. She was contacted by members of the Washington Conservation Voters, the
Sierra Club and the Watershed Alliance, all who raise various issues regarding the sale of the property.
She referred to an earlier presentation tonight that the City was spending $200,000 on the marsh, this
property was likely valued at approximately that amount. Everyone has relayed concrete concerns about
the environment; Councilmembers never want to make a decision that harms the environment for the
future.
Councilmember Petso observed there were at least four Councilmembers willing to vote not to sell the
property tonight. She preferred to continue studying a pedestrian or wildlife corridor, drainage, and
financing acquisition instead of waiting until a development application is submitted. Continuing to study
those issues would not only retain this parcel but set the City up for a possible future opportunity.
Councilmember Johnson thanked everyone who emailed the Council and attended tonight’s meeting. The
Council has heard their message. She did not feel it was in the public’s best interest to sell the parcel at
this time. However, this is only a small parcel of land, not the entire tract of land the neighborhood
cherishes. The City originally purchased the property in 1966 for sewer and stormwater drainage systems.
Regardless of whether the City sells the property, it will not be developed. She cautioned the City does
not control all the land and additional work such as was suggested by Councilmembers Petso and
Peterson needs to be done.
Councilmember Mesaros commented although the Council may take the courageous step not to sell the
property, his biggest concern was this would not accomplish what the neighborhood wants.
If the Council chose to sell the property, Councilmember Peterson asked whether a restriction could be
placed on the property to require a higher level of stormwater retention or other higher standard if it was
part of a larger plat or PRD. Mr. Taraday answered there were ways of doing that; the devil is in the
details with regard to the conditions, enforcement mechanisms, etc.
Councilmember Peterson commented if the Council can figure out a way to demand a higher level of
service with regard to stormwater, tree retention, etc., the Council and community can have a greater say
in the quality of the development and its impact on the neighborhood.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETSO,
NOT TO SELL THE PROPERTY.
Councilmember Peterson commented he will vote in favor of the motion. He wanted to continue the
discussion with the City Attorney and staff regarding ways to better control any development that will
more than likely happen on the other property.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.
11. 76TH AVE. W AT 212TH ST. SW INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT UPDATE
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING FOR 30 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Transportation Engineer Bertrand Hauss provided an introduction to the project:
Packet Page 52 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

Page 20
• Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Federal grant secured in ‘12 to complete Design
& ROW phases
• Design phase started in Summer ’12
• Project initially started as intersection only improvements; corridor improvements later
incorporated
• Grant application to be submitted this spring for construction funding
He displayed an aerial photograph and described the project scope:
• Addition of LT lane for northbound (NB) & southbound (SB) movements (on 76th)
• Allow traffic signal to time both approaches concurrently (same as ex. conditions on 212th)
• Addition of RT lane for WB, NB, and SB movements
• Improve intersection delay
o Ex. LOS F
o W/ improvements: LOS C (meet City’s LOS standards / LOS D)
o Projected 2030 LOS w/ improvements: LOS D
• Addition of bike lanes (for all movements)
• Increase sidewalk width
• Utility improvements (water, sewer, storm)
• Underground conversion of ex. overhead utility lines
• NB & SB lane conversion at 76th @ 212th intersection
o From 2-through lanes to 1-through lane
o Match future 3-lane corridor on:
76th from 220th St. SW to 196th St. SW
212th from 76th to either 72nd or Hwy. 99
• Supports Complete Streets & 2009 Transportation Plan
Kirk Harris, David Evans and Associates, reviewed the alternatives analysis:
• Alternative 1:
o From 196th / SR-524 to 76th @ 212th intersection
Same layout as existing
One through lane w/ parking stall for both NB and SB
o 5-lane section at 76th @ 212th intersection
One through lane + one LT lane + one RT lane for both NB & SB
Ex. conditions: two through lanes for both NB & SB
o From 76th @ 212th intersection to 220th
Same layout as existing
Two through lanes for both NB and SB
• Alternative 2:
o 3-lane section from 220th to 196th
One through lane for NB movement (w/ bike lane)
One through lane for SB movement (w/ bike lane)
One Two-Way-Left-Turn lane (TWLTL)
o 3-lane section w/ bike lane + right turn lane for each leg of 76th @ 212th intersection
He displayed a photograph of a similar 4-lane roadway to illustrate striping of the 3-lane section from
220th to 196th. He reviewed a comparison of the alternatives:

Mr. Harris displayed a drawing of the existing section (76th from 220th to 208th and 212th from 76th to Hwy
99) and a drawing of the striping-only section. He summarized their analysis:
• 3-lane configuration is the best alternative along 76th
• Similar configuration would take place along 212th from 76th Ave. W to either Hwy 99 or 72nd
Ave. W
o 3-lane configuration already in place from Five Corners to 76th @ 212th intersection
Mr. Hauss reviewed the remaining schedule:
• Design phase - complete in December ‘15
• ROW phase - complete in December ‘15
• Construction phase - TBD (grant application to be submitted Spring ‘14)
Next steps include:
• Public Open House (Spring ‘14)
• Meetings w/ property owners (involved in ROW acquisition)
• Apply for Federal grant to fund Construction (Spring ‘14)
• Amend 6-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to add striping changes on 76th and
212th
Councilmember Bloom observed in the north portion, 76th Avenue is the boundary between Lynnwood
and Edmonds and asked whether improvements would be done on both sides and whether Lynnwood
would pay for the improvements on their side. PW Director Phil Williams answered staff has briefly
talked with Lynnwood; there will be further discussions as design progresses. He anticipated Edmonds
would sponsor the project and Edmonds and Lynnwood would co-sponsor a grant. He pointed out one
downside to the project is restriping in the north end of the project to reduce the 4-lane roadway to 3-lanes
with bike lanes will eliminate parking stalls on both Edmonds’ and Lynnwood’s sides. His observation
when walking and driving in that area is the parking is not heavily used.
Councilmember Bloom asked how Lynnwood would be included in the public process. Mr. Williams
answered Lynnwood staff and property owners on the street would be invited to meetings.
Councilmember Johnson was excited about the project. She liked the Complete Streets component and
looked forward to seeing greater detail. She was particularly interested in connections along 212th and
along 76th to Five Corners. She observed the project will cause a slight delay but result in better safety and
roadway function.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented vehicles line up on 76th during pickup times at the
elementary school in that area. Mr. Williams answered the staff will work with the school to address that
issue. Mr. Harris commented there is a similar issue with vehicles queuing southbound at the high school
entrance at 76th & 212th; Mr. Hauss has been working with the school district to determine if there is
better internal circulation to prevent traffic backing up into the intersection.

12. 76TH AVENUE PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT
Public Works Director advised the Parks, Planning & Public Works Committee requested a presentation
on the closeout of these two projects. He explained this was a joint project with Lynnwood. Lynnwood
encountered issues with their contractor and ultimately terminated the contract. During the period of time
the future of the project was unknown, Edmonds took some interim steps including completing the
waterline portion of the project and having a temporary treatment applied to the roads to over-winter the
project with the expectation of a final road treatment this summer. The contracts with Earthworks for the
waterline installation and with Lakeside for the paving have been completed and were approved on
tonight’s Consent Agenda. He reviewed the overall project budget:
76th Avenue Waterline
76th Avenue Budget $765,786.15
Lynnwood Cost to Date 275,940.98
Lynnwood Cost Pending Allowance 30,000.00
Constr. Admin. Expended to Date (approx.) 21,000.00

HWA 15,587.00
Construction Inspection/Admin 30,000.00

Total $765,768.15
He reviewed the construction contract:
Water Fund 421 City of Lynnwood
Earthworks Enterprises – Waterline Replacement
Construction Contract $362,320
Change Order 1 $26,595
Change Order 2 ($37,110)
Total $325,210 $26,595
Lakeside Industries – Temporary Overlay
Construction Contract $100,280
Change Order 1 $4,789
Change Order 2 ($1,598)
Total $103,471
Councilmember Petso asked whether the above construction contract was only through the temporary
paving job. Mr. Williams agreed. Councilmember Petso observed there was more work to be done on the
permanent surface. Mr. Williams explained Lynnwood will do the design and manage the permanent
paving; the overlay was always part of their project. Lynnwood will remove some of the temporary
paving and apply a new street surface this summer. Councilmember Petso relayed several citizens’
gratitude for the solution to the road condition.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO EXTEND THE MEETING FOR 10 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
13. REVIEW CURRENT SIGN CODE FOR POTENTIAL AMENDMENT AND/OR ENFORCEMENT
OPTIONS
Packet Page 55 of 182
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 18, 2014
Page 23
Acting Development Services Director Rob Chave advised the Parks, Planning & Public Works
Committee requested this be presented to the full Council. Comments have been made during Audience
Comments about revisions to correct possible deficiencies in the sign code. Staff is also interested in
reviewing the sign code. He asked whether the Council wanted to add this to the joint meeting with the
Planning Board that was scheduled during the Council retreated. He emailed Planning Board Members
about their availability for a March 25 work session with the Council; at least two of the seven members
are not available. Another option would be to schedule a joint work session on another date.
Council President Buckshnis suggested a work session next week may not work because the agenda
includes public comment on the Sunset Avenue walkway. She suggested rescheduling a joint work
session in April or simply referring this to the Planning Board without a work session.
Councilmember Peterson preferred to have a work session with the Planning Board. He suggested the
packet include more than just the comments from one citizen. Mr. Chave explained there is much room
for confusion in the current sign code. He recalled the Council’s discussion at the retreat that the Planning
Board has the ability to do significant outreach before they begin revising the code.
It was agreed to add this to a joint work session with the Planning Board in April.
15. REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS OF MARCH 11, 2014
Finance Committee
Councilmember Petso encouraged Councilmembers to review the budget amendment that will be
scheduled on an upcoming agenda because in addition to carryover items or items previously approved by
Council, there are several new items.
Parks, Planning & Public Works Committee
Councilmember Bloom reported most of the items the committee discussed were on the Consent Agenda
or the agenda. She highlighted the continued discussion on potential changes to the MP2 Zone affecting
the former Unocal lower yard. She explained Tim Smith, representing DOT/Washington State Ferries
relayed DOT executives’ determination that they would not object to removing residential uses from the
MP2 zone. Mr. Smith also stated commercial uses were a necessary part of the project, and that the State
Legislature had insisted DOT configure projects to help support ongoing maintenance – commercial uses
would specifically help support maintenance and operation of the Edmonds Crossing terminal, and were
therefore a necessary component of the project. Councilmember Bloom advised further discussion
regarding the MP2 zone will be presented to the full Council.
Public Safety & Personnel Committee
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas reported on items discussed by the committee:
• Renewal of Contract with Adix Bed and Bath for Dogs and Cats for Kenneling Services:
approved on Consent Agenda
• Review draft language for recreational marijuana licensing ordinance: forwarded to full Council
• Office Coordinator (SEIU Union) Job Description/Position – Wastewater Treatment Plant:
approved on Consent Agenda
• Update of Edmonds City Code 10.25.090 (regarding probationary periods for promoted or
transferred classified personnel): approved on Consent Agenda
16. MAYOR'S COMMENTS

Mayor Earling thanked the Council for the retreat, noting some good work was accomplished and there
was a lot of work to be done.
17. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council President Buckshnis welcomed Councilmember Mesaros. She thanked Councilmembers for a
great job at the retreat.
Councilmember Mesaros said it was nice to be on the Council.
Councilmember Bloom welcomed Councilmember Mesaros.
Councilmember Johnson announced the Chamber Art Awards on Thursday after the Ark Walk.
Councilmember Petso welcomed Councilmember Mesaros.
Councilmember Peterson welcomed Councilmember Mesaros.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to the blue and yellow ribbon she was wearing in honor of
World Down Syndrome Day, March 21. She explained World Down Syndrome Day is celebrated
annually on March 21. The date is symbolic of the three copies of the 21st chromosome that characterizes
people with Down Syndrome. Down Syndrome occurs in 1 out of every 691 lives births which equates to
57 people living in Edmonds who may have Down Syndrome. It is the most frequently occurring
chromosomal difference; it affects people of all ages, races and economic levels, usually results in mild to
moderate cognitive delays and does not affect an individual’s ability to lead a full and productive life. She
thanked the Down Syndrome Association of Snohomish County for promoting inclusion and acceptance
to all people with Down Syndrome.

Yost Pool Operations
Recommendation
Council receive presentation, ask questions, give staff guidance.
Previous Council Action
As part of the Strategic Plan, Council adopted a medium to high priority item for Parks to create and
implement a long term financial and operational strategy for Yost pool.
As part of the 2014 PROS plan, Council adopted strategies for the Parks Department to create and enter
into partnerships in order to provide cost effective operations.
Narrative
As Council may recall, Yost pool costs approx. $210,000 to operate seasonally. We collect approx.
$150,000 per year in revenue, subsidizing the pool by about $60,000. Staff have been exploring
partnership models to operate Yost Pool, in order to create both effectiveness and efficiencies. After
several months of discussion, we are recommending the City partner with the Dale Turner Y to staff the
pool operations this summer.
The City has created a similar schedule to last year, and will have operational control over the
maintenance, revenue collection, and programming. The Y would provide a pool manager and staffing to
operate the pool.
This model provides potential expenditure savings of $15,000-$20,000, and would be a one year pilot
program.
Because the contract with the Y will be under $100,000, the Mayor has the ability to authorize this
contract and action.
This presentation to Council is to answer any questions, and to determine if there are any concerns to
mitigate.

March 2014 Budget Amendment Ordinance
Recommendation
For Council for approval
Previous Council Action
Discussed at March 11th Finance Committee
Narrative
The first part of the budget amendment contains carry forward items from 2013. The departments would
like to move the expenditure appropriation from 2013 to 2014. Three of the General Fund amendments
include grant revenue that was received in prior years but not completely expended in 2013. One of the
General Fund carry forward items is for the Code re-organization that was budgeted for but not used in
2013. The Planning Department would like to consolidate the unexpended funds with the $75,000
budgeted in 2014. The Building Department is asking for an increase to their professional services
budget based on increased permit revenues received in 2013 and workload increases in 2014.
There are two budget amendments included that were part of the 2014 Budget process. The transfer from
REET 2 to the Parks Construction Fund as a reserve for the Marsh Restoration project was included in
the REET 2 budget but the transfer into the Parks Construction Fund was not included. The transfer
from the General Fund into Fund 617 was eliminated during the budget process but the removal of the
transfer into Fund 617 was not included.
A budget amendment is included regarding the refunding of the City's 2003 UTGO
bond. The amendment includes budget appropriation to receive the refinancing proceeds and payment to
the Bank of New York. The amendment also includes a transfer from the General Fund to a new debt
service fund, (232) 2014 Debt Service Fund, for the debt service costs associated with the refinancing and
the new 2014 debt service amounts.
Other items included in the March budget amendment include the City's Wellness Program and new
fitness room equipment. The Street Department is asking to re-instate one full-time position that was
eliminated in 2010. The majority of the amendments pertain to construction and capital projects that
were budgeted for in 2013 but not completed and need budget appropriation moved from 2013 to 2014.

MEMO
To:
Deb Sharp, Finance
From: Leif Bjorback, Building Official
Rob Chave, Acting Development Services Director
Re: Building Professional Services, Budget Amendment
Date: March 14, 2014
Questions arose during the Finance Committee discussion on this item. The need for this budget
adjustment is included in the amendment description – please refer to that description for more detail.
Basically it involves moving excess 2013 permit fee revenue forward into 2014 to enable timely reviews
of complex design projects without hiring additional staff. Historically the Building Professional Services
budget has been used to allow the City to use outside consultant services to supplement staff reviews
for these complex projects without having additional in-house staff with that level of expertise (most
often related to engineered structural reviews).
We are currently experiencing high volumes of permit activity. At this point we are not confident that
this represents a new level of permit activity that will continue in future years, so we don’t believe hiring
additional staff is necessary or prudent at this time.
It also needs to be understood that by state law permit revenue can only be used for permitting
activities; excess permit revenues cannot end up as general fund revenues used to support general
government operations. In fact, the State Auditor, in their most recent audit, reviewed City records to
ensure that City permitting revenues did not exceed the cost of providing permit review services.

Capital Project Budget Amendment Responses
2012 SS Replacement Summary
This amendment will provide additional sewer utility funds for the 2012 Sanitary Sewer Replacement
Project. The amendment will program $67,900 in unspent project funds from 2013 and $350,000 in
unspent funds from 2013 that were part of the Lift Station Rehabilitation project to match the current
budget needed to complete the project.
The $350,000 will allow the project to extend the pipe system on Railroad Avenue between Main Street
and Dayton by an additional 200 feet. This will remove the need for the city to acquire additional
easements or rights of way to provide service in that area for any future developments and will greatly
improve access to the system for repair and maintenance purposes.
2013 SS Replacement Summary
This amendment will provide additional sewer utility funds for the 2013 Sanitary Sewer Replacement
Project. The amendment will program $38,446 in unspent project funds from 2013, $500,000 that was
going to be spent as part of the 2014 CIPP Rehabilitation project to take place in 2014, and $300,000 in
bond proceeds.
The additional funds are needed for the following improvements that are now included in the project:
1. One additional site located on the intersection of 228th Street and 73rd Pl W was added to the
project. This is because during the utility review process for the 228th Street corridor
improvements it was determined that the sewer main under portions of that project needed to
be replaced. Since the transportation corridor improvements are now planned for 2015, the
replacement of the pipes needs to be done prior to that date. Approximately 860 linear feet of
pipe will be replaced at this location.
2. During the design process of the sewer main replacement at Edmonds and 7th Avenue, it was
determined that it was not possible to achieve adequate drainage slope for the sewer mains to
drain properly. Using our GIS database, a basin wide evaluation was made to determine a
solution for achieving adequate slope in the pipe. It was determined that 600 feet of new
sewer main in Daley St, between 6th and 7th Avenues, would correct the pipe slope and solve the
on-going maintenance problems. This also provides the benefit of switching 80 homes that
currently drain to Lift Station #1 to simply draining to the City’s gravity system that flows directly
to the wastewater treatment plant. This will result in lower on-going operational costs, since it
reduces the pumping effort at Lift Station #1.
3. Finally, it was also determined that it was not possible to achieve adequate drainage slope for
the sewer main replacement at 8th Avenue and Fir St. After reviewing site conditions, it was
determined that adequate slope could be achieved if approximately 160 feet of downstream
pipe was reinstalled deeper than current conditions.

City-Wide Drainage Replacement, Extension
Annually, the Stormwater Capital Fund has this project as a line item. This item is used to solve
emerging stormwater issues and results in one or more projects. In late August and early September
2013, we had several large storm events that exposed some weakness in the City's stormwater
management system. Since these storms occurred towards the end of the year, the projects will extend
into 2014.
For 2014 added scope includes the following projects begun in 2013:
• North Shellbarger Basin Improvements – Basin modeling and expedited design of larger capacity
on 4th Ave S. between Dayon St and Walnut Street - $56,770
• Northstream Inlet Improvements – Design improved inlet condion on culvet going under Puget
Drive to prevent pondind behind culvert– $25,230.
The 2013 budget for this project was $149,000 and this amendment will program $82,000 of the
unspent 2013 funds into the 2014 Budget.
The Perrinville Creek Stormwater Flow Reduction Retrofit Study
The original 2013 budget for this project was $200,000. The Department of Ecology sent out a grant
notice in early 2013 for conducting stormwater retrofit planning and pre-Design. Ecology’s goal for this
grant funding is to develop a list of projects to fund design and construction for the 2015 legislative
session. The City sent in a grant proposal on April 5, 2013 to expand its current flow reduction study to
include flow monitoring and a pre-design report.
On April 30, 2013, Ecology notified the City that our grant proposal had been selected for funding at the
amount of $188,722. The grant was approved by Council Committee on May 14, 2014 and by the Full
Council on May 21, 2013. The City received the final grant agreement from Ecology on July 23, 2013.
The Mayor signed the grant agreement on July 31, 2013 and Ecology signed it on August 8, 2013.
The project was originally scheduled to be completed by mid-June 2014, with $200,000 spent in 2013
and the balance $172,722 in 2014 (This latter number was in the 2014 budget - the number should have
been $188,722, the amount of the grant.). Therefore, the total project budget was intended to be
$388,772 (City’s original $200,000 + $188,772 from the grant). The project schedule was delayed in 2013
due to extended review times by the Department of Ecology on the grant-required Quality Assurance
Project Plan (QAPP). As such, the actual 2013 expenditure was only $87,963. This left $300,809 to be
spent in 2014.
This amendment requests the $112,037 in spending authority not used in 2013 be moved into the 2014
budget ($200,000 – $87,963). An additional $16,000 in spending authority is also requested to make up
the difference in what was in 2014 budget for the grant amount ($172,772) and the actual grant amount
Packet Page 128 of 182
($188,772). The $112,037 from 2013 plus the $16,000 difference between what was programmed for
the grant and the actual grant equals $128,037 in this amendment. This amendment plus the $172,772
originally approved for this project in the 2014 budget will take the project to its spending authority of
$300,809 for 2014.
105th/106th Street SW Drainage Improvements
This project was in the 2011-2016 Capital Improvement Plan (SW Edmonds Study Project 4). Interim
fixes were constructed in 2011 which provided relief to residents on a short-term basis. However,
strong storms in late summer 2013 resulted in flooding and indicated that additional stormwater
improvements were needed in the area. The proposed project will infiltrate the majority of storm water
run-off from this 10 acre neighborhood.
Grant funds from the Department of Ecology were made available for a low impact development
solution. This project is funded by a grant from the Department of Ecology received in the fall of 2013
and it did not get into the 2014 budget.
This Grant was approved by Council Committee on August 13, 2013 and by the full Council on August 20,
2013. The Mayor signed the Grant Acceptance Intent Notice (GAIN) from Ecology on August 22, 2013.
Ecology sent a draft grant agreement to the City on August 23, 2013 and the City responded with
comments on the draft agreement on August 26, 2013.
On September 23, 2013, Ecology sent a suggested format for describing the LID projects covered by the
grant and the City was informed that these summaries had to be submitted within 1 week (due October
1, 2013) to be included in the grant agreement. The City sent in the two project summaries on October
1, 2013, one of which was the The105th/106th St. SW Drainage Improvements. The other project was
for a Perrinville Creek High Flow Management project.
The City received approval from Ecology on the project summaries on October 18, 2013 and received
the final grant agreement on October 22, 2013. The grant was signed by the Mayor October 25, 2013
and by Ecology on November 12, 2013.
The Perrinville Creek LID Retrofit Preliminary Design Project
Is funded by a grant from the Department of Ecology received in the fall of 2013 and it did not get into
the 2014 budget.
This Grant was approved by Council Committee on August 13, 2013 and by the full Council on August 20,
2013. The Mayor signed the Grant Acceptance Intent Notice (GAIN) from Ecology on August 22, 2013.
Ecology sent a draft grant agreement to the City on August 23, 2013 and the City responded with
comments on the draft agreement on August 26, 2013.
On September 23, 2013, Ecology sent a suggested format for describing the LID projects covered by the
grant and the City was informed that these summaries had to be submitted within 1 week (due October
1, 2013) to be included in the grant agreement. The City sent in the two project summaries on October
1, 2013, one of which was the Perrinville Creek LID Retrofit Preliminary Design Project. This project
Packet Page 129 of 182
dovetails with the ongoing Perrinville Creek Flow Reduction Study. The other project submitted was the
105th/106th St. SW Drainage Improvements.
The City received approval from Ecology on the project summaries on October 18, 2013 and received
the final grant agreement on October 22, 2013. The grant was signed by the Mayor October 25, 2013
and by Ecology on November 12, 2013.
The grant revenue of $50,000 will pay for the project. The total project budget is $50,000.
The SW Edmonds-Connected Sumps on 238th St. to Hickman Park project
The 2013 budget (put together in the last quarter of 2012) had $646,260 in spending authority for this
project. At that time, the scope included upgrading the alley infiltration system south of 107th PL SW
and a new drainage system on 238th St that would connect to the infiltration system built in Hickman
Park in 2009.
In the spring of 2013, the City was notified of a grant award for a walkway project on 238th St. At that
point, it was decided that the walkway project and the stormwater project on 238th should be
combined and would be put into the 2014 Transportation Capital budget. The stormwater-only project
was then re-scoped (called Phase I) to include upgrading the alley infiltration system south of 107th PL
SW plus the additional scope of the church infiltration system. When the 2014 budget was assembled in
fall of 2013, it assumed $303,510 would be spent in 2013 and $89,290 in 2014. In 2013, only $36,499 of
the $646,260 was expended to design the re-scoped project. This left $609,761 in unspent 2013 funds.
This amendment is for Phase I and includes completing the in-house design and construction in 2014.
This budget amendment requests $283,870 out of the remaining 2013 spending authority be rolled over
into 2014. This will bring the spending authority for 2014 to $373,160. This amount will cover the cost to
get to 100% design ($3,000) plus the updated construction cost ($343,160) plus $27,000 in staff time.

Budget Amendment Narrative:
Wellness Program: This program was established as part of our change in health care benefits. United
Healthcare has strongly encouraged this and has been supporting our efforts because this type of
program has been directly linked to lower health care costs, which impact the cost of premiums. .
Council approved a budget amendment last year to establish a fund for this effort. Last year, HR
managed the professional services very conservatively with the hope that we could use some of this to
bolster the Wellness program. We do not have any dedicated budget established for this, and in order
to be successful, we will need a small budget. It is for this reason we are requesting $10,000 from our
year end savings to assist with this effort.
Fitness Room Equipment: We have applied for and received a grant from Verdant Health Commission to
upgrade the fitness room. The grant was approved and on January 21, 2014, Council approved an
interlocal with Verdant Health Commission. This is just a request for expenditure authority. The
revenue we receive from Verdant will cover all of the costs.
Transfer for 132: This was identified in the Council budget process to add $200,000 to the Parks budget
for future restoration of the Edmonds Marsh.
Woodway Fields: This project will begin this year with the School District managing construction. The
$155,000 was budgeted in the CIP last year and this amendment is to transfer this amount into the Parks
Construction fund 132. In addition, there will be another transfer request at midyear for an additional
$500,000 that was budgeted in the CIP this year.
Edmonds Marsh Project: This is a carryover from last year as well. This amount will be used to contract
with Earthcorps to manage the Marsh feasibility study, and for the Student Conservation Corps to
provide youth workers to help in removal of invasive species from the Marsh this summer.
4th Avenue Cultural Corridor: This is also a carryover from last year, and will be used to establish the
Cultural Heritage tour on and around 4th avenue.

Street Fund Position
The Street Division of Public Works has, for over twenty years, been comprised of six Street
Maintenance Workers, a Lead, and a half-time Supervisor. The labor cost (salaries, benefits, overtime,
and standby) for this crew resides in Fund 111. The General Fund ceased making contributions to Fund
111 for street maintenance in the 2011 budget when the Edmonds TBD reached its peak funding level
and the City’s tax revenues still had not begun to recover from the recession. Therefore, the only two
funding sources for on-going street maintenance for 2011 and 2012 were TBD and gas tax. These
funding sources are either a fixed income generator (TBD) or a declining-to-stable income source (gas
tax). With expenses rising each year (labor, equipment, and supplies) and income stagnant or declining
the Fund 111 cash balance was being eroded quickly. When an opening was created in the Street
Division by an internal transfer a decision was made to not re-fill the vacancy until additional funding
became available. In 2013 the General Fund committed $100,000 to Fund 111 to cover increases in
direct operating expenses. In the 2014 approved budget an additional $300,000 was appropriated for a
total of $400,000. One of the primary reasons why additional funds were requested was to bring the
crew back to full strength. The funding is now available to do that and the need is clearly there as well.
With an extended period of not funding pavement restoration the condition of our streets has declined
and we need to spend more time on crack sealing, pothole repair, point repairs and other tasks. We
have the funding but we need the FTE approved by Council so it can be filled. The long term budget
projections show this funding continuing in 2015 and beyond.

Swedish Hospital will be relocating and improving existing City water, sewer and stormwater utilities as
part of their expansion project in 2014. Their project will relocate or add 2,760 feet of waterline, 260
feet of sewerline and 565 feet of stormwater utilities within the Swedish Hospital site.
The City's Engineering Division is responsible for providing construction inspection on utility work
related to private development. These inspections are typically completed with city staff. The size of
Swedish Hospital's utility project and the required number of inspection hours is more than what can be
provided by existing staff.
If this amendment is not approved, the other options are to reduce the level of customer service
provided by engineering staff on permit reviews and customer service at the permit counter or assign a
Capital Projects Manager to complete the inspection work. The reduction in customer service would
result in longer permit reviews for private and commercial developments and customer response time
at the permit counter.
Assigning a Capital Projects Manager to complete this work would delay progress to on-going capital
improvement projects and studies. It would also require increase staff costs to the General Fund since
the Capital Projects Manager position is funded by Utility, Street and Grant funding related to capital
improvement projects.
This amendment will provide $47,950 of additional funding to hire a consultant to complete the
required inspections. The cost for these services will be offset by new permit revenue collected from
Swedish Hospital that was not included in the 2014 Budget.

Domestic Violence Victim Housing
In late December 2012, North Sound Church donated $1,000 to Edmonds Police Department
to be used for short term housing for domestic violence victims. In 2013 the Police
Department's Domestic Violence Coordinator twice used the funds to arrange housing for
victims in crisis. As only $340 of the $1,000 was spent in 2013, the remaining $660 needs to
be budgeted in 2014, financed by fund balance.

Code Re-organization Budget
The Council budgeted $75,000 in 2013 and another $75,000 in 2014 for the code
reorganization project.
Of the 2013 budget, $40,000 was earmarked for legal review of the development code, and
the balance was to be used for code work (primarily in improving the presentation and
online accessibility of the codes). Of the total budgeted amount, $20,000 was spent in 2013
on the legal review; the balance of the work has continued and will be completed in the first
half of 2014. The online work (primarily to be accomplished by Code Publishing) can be
initiated soon, but the bulk of that work will need to wait for a more complete code draft,
which will happen at the end of this year (2014).
The purpose of this budget amendment is to consolidate the unexpended funds budgeted in
2013 ($55,000) with the $75,000 budgeted for the project in 2014. With the $55,000 carried
forward from 2013, the total amount allocated for the code reorganization in 2014 will be
$130,000. This will be a high priority for the new Development Services Director.

Building Professional Services
2013 revenue from building permit and review fees exceeded budget estimates by over
$150,000. This unexpected revenue windfall served to increase the beginning fund balance
going into 2014. At the same time, building review and permit activity is at a very high level,
especially at this early point in the year. We are already behind in our review times, and
there are a number of very important projects that need to be permitted in a timely manner
(an example is the hospital expansion).
Our proposal is to address the permitting backlog by engaging in more outside reviews (i.e.
contracting for outside plan review services). By using some of the unanticipated additional
revenue from permitting activity in 2013, this will enable us to address the current plan
review needs without hiring additional in -house staff. Hopefully the amount requested will
carry us through the current high volume of permit activity.

7th Avenue Sidewalk
In 2013, a budget amendment was approved for $15,100 to construct 104 feet of new
sidewalk, curb and gutter and a pedestrian curb ramp. The property owner at 220th 7th
Ave agreed to contribute approximately $3,000 to build the new sidewalk with the City
paying for the curb and gutter replacement and the pedestrian curb ramp. The project was
advertised for construction bids in fall 2013 and the bids received were too high.
The City agreed to rebid the project and the property owner decided to hire his own private
contractor to build the sidewalk. The City received the low bid of $12,450 in December 2013
to build its portion of the project and construction started in January 2014.
This amendment will program $13,000 into the 2014 Budget to pay for the completed work.

City-wide Drainage Replacement
City-Wide Drainage Replacement, Extension: Annually, the Stormwater Capital Fund has
this project as a line item . This item is used to solve emerging stormwater issues and
results in one or more projects. In late August and early September 2013, we had several
large storm events that exposed some weakness in the City's stormwater management
system. Since these storms occurred towards the end of the year, the projects will extend
into 2014. For 2014 this includes the North Shellbarger Basin Improvements and the
Northstream Inlet Improvements.
The 2013 budget for this project was $149,000 and this amendment will program $82,000 of
the unspent 2013 funds into the 2014 Budget.

Wellness Program
These funds will be used toward the development of the City's Wellness program (promoted
through the City's Wellness Committee) to include an incentive program for employees to
encourage them to create, maintain and improve health through the Wellness program's
various nutrition, education and fitness activities . The Wellness program may include guest
speaker costs, materials costs as well as small incentives for completing fitness goals (such as
t-shirts, water bottles, etc.).
The net impact of a wellness program would be to have healthier, productive employees
with less stress and health issues, to lower lost work days and potentially lower L & I injury
costs and medical insurance utilization costs (which affect our bottom line premium costs).
The 2013 ending fund balance in the HR professional services line item was $48,000. We
propose to use $10,000 of this to fund the Wellness program for 2014.

Salary/Benefit Adjustment
Pursuant to the Teamsters CBA Section A.1.2.1 employees of the Public Works Department
Facilities Maintenance Division shall receive a 2% wage premium on days they are assigned
to work in restricted areas of the Edmonds Police Department because of the necessity of
passing a fingerprint-based background check. Originally this only applied to custodial staff
working unsupervised inside the police department. Too late for inclusion in the 2014
budget process, the police determined this requirement extended to any employees with
keys to access secure areas. This meant the premium would also extend to the four
maintenance crew in Facilities Maintenance for shifts in which they worked in these areas.
An examination of the work records for the previous year has shown that one shift of every
four, on average, is worked inside the police department. So, the fiscal impact of this wage
premium (2%)needs to be included as a 0.5% adjustment to both the hourly rates and the
benefit rates of these employees. This is the reaon for adjustment to the 2014 budget
requested here.

Constr Inspection -Swedish Hospital Utilities
Swedish Hospital will be relocating and improving existing City water, sewer and stormwater
utilities as part of their expansion project in 2014. Their project will relocate or add 2,760
feet of waterline, 260 feet of sewerline and 565 feet of stormwater utilities within the
Swedish Hospital site.
The City's Engineering Division is responsible for providing construction inspection on utility
work related to private development. These inspections are typically completed with city
staff. The size of Swedish Hospital's utility project and the required number of inspection
hours is more than what can be provided by existing staff.
This amendment will provide $47,950 of additional funding to hire a consultant to complete
the required inspections. The cost for these services will be offset by permit revenue
collected from Swedish Hosptial.

Perrinville Creek Flow Reduction Retrofit
The Perrinville Creek Stormwater Flow Reduction Retrofit Study : The original 2013 budget
for this project was $200,000. The Department of Ecology sent out a grant notice in early
2013 for conducting stormwater retrofit planning and pre -Design.Ecology’s goal for this
grant funding is to develop a list of projects to fund design and construction for the 2015
legislative session. The City sent in a grant proposal on April 5, 2013 to expand its current
flow reduction study to include flow monitoring and a pre -design report. On April 30, 2013,
Ecology notified the City that our grant proposal had been selected for funding at the
amount of $188,722.
This amendment requests the unspent amount from the original 2013 spending authority
($112,037) be moved into the 2014 budget.An additional $16,000 in spending authority is
also requested to make up the difference in what was in 2014 budget for the grant amount
($172,772) and the actual grant amount ($188,772).The $112,037 from 2013 plus the
$16,000 difference between what was programmed for the grant and the actual grant equals
$128,037 in this amendment. This amendment plus the $172,772 originally approved for this
project in the 2014 budget will take the project to its spending authority of $300,809 for
2014.

Connected Sumps on 238th St. to Hickman Park
The SW Edmonds -Connected Sumps on 238th St. to Hickman Park project has been separated
into two phases in the 2014 Budget. The first phase is the Infiltration project behing the
church and the installation of storwater injection well in the alley behind 17th PL SW. The
second phase is the drainage improvements that will be built with the 238th St. sidewalk
project.
This amendment is for Phase I and includes completing the design in -house and construction.
The extent of the project was not known in the fall of 2013 and a place holder budget of
$89,290 was included in the 2014 budget. The total cost to get to 100% design is $3,000 and

Traffic Impact Fee Annual Report
Recommendation
For information only.
Previous Council Action
On March 11, 2014, the Parks, Planning and Public Works committee reviewed this item and
recommended it be presented to full Council at a future Council meeting.
Narrative
In 2004, the City authorized the collection of Traffic Impact Fees to help pay for transportation projects
that are needed to serve new growth and development. Pursuant to Section 18.82.080(C) of the Edmonds
Community Development Code (ECDC), Attachment 1 is an accounting of the Traffic Impact Fee Fund
for the year ending December 31, 2013. The City collected a total of $156,463.10 in traffic impact fees
and interest of $188.79 during 2013. These revenues combined with the 2013 beginning fund balance of
$347,127 resulted in total available funding of $503,779.
On the expense side and in accordance with section 18.82.100 of the ECDC, the traffic impact fee fund
paid $41,498 for the annual debt service to the Public Works Trust Fund (PWTF) for the 220th Street SW
Improvements Project. The traffic impact fee fund also paid $76,083.72 for the Five Corners Roundabout
project.
The remaining balance of $386,197, plus impact fees collected in 2014, will be used to make the 2014
debt service payment ($41,497) on the 220th Street SW project and contribute towards the required local
match for the Five Corners Roundabout and 76th/212 improvement projects.
