6.1.a
Mayor Nelson described the procedures for audience comments.
Mike McCausland, Edmonds, explained he has a legal conforming duplex on his property on 3rd
Avenue North. The east property line is on 6' Avenue North and the west property line is on 3rd Avenue
North. The City's Public Works Department is planning to install a stormwater rain garden along his
property line in the right-of-way on 6t' Avenue North. He is opposed to the rain garden and believes his
rights as a property owners are being compromised as well as taken advantage of. He was surprised to
learn the proposed rain garden, which impacts private property, does not require signage advising of the
project and to allow public comment as the City would require from any private development. He
discussed his opposition to the rain garden with Public Works Director Phil Williams, Public Works
Engineer Zack Richardson, Planning Division Manager Rob Chave and the Mayor's Executive Assistant
Carolyne LaFave; no resolution to his opposition has been reached. As he was unable to find a source to
formally address his opposition, he was bringing his concerns to the City Council. The proposed rain
garden takes away development opportunity for his property and the ability to add a driveway entrance to
his property off 6' Avenue North. As measured by himself with a tape measure, the lot size is just under
12,000 square feet but could be slightly larger. The current zoning is single family RS-6 6,000 square foot
minimum lot size. In accordance with the GMA, and optimum economic land use, his property lends
itself well to subdivision into two lots for two single family homes. There is a development under
construction on Daley and 4t' Avenue doing the exact same thing. Taking away the ability to reasonably
install a driveway eliminates the feasibility of subdividing this property. Email correspondence with Mr.
Richardson advised he would still have the option to install a driveway by building a bridge over the rain
garden or with offset mitigation, both at his expense. He questioned the City allowing him to build a
bridge in the public right-of-way as well as why any expense would be his responsibility since the City is
building something that impacts his property. He pointed out the same issue would arise if he wanted to
install a garage in his backyard or an accessory dwelling unit.
Ken Reidy, Edmonds, commented it was good to be back in Council Chambers. He explained Edmonds
adopted the power of initiative and referendum in 1985. A unanimous vote is required to pass an
emergency ordinance. Council has long acted like an emergency ordinance can be passed with a super
majority vote. Tonight Council is discussing an ordinance creating the Edmonds Rescue Plan. The
discussion involves Ordinance 4189; the City has long acted as if Ordinance 4189 was effective June 23,
2020 but that is not true because the vote on Ordinance 4189 was not unanimous. He requested disclosure
during tonight's meeting regarding how this mistake will be addressed. Tonight the Council is also
discussing a resolution adopting Council Rules of Procedure. The proposed rules include a new Code of
Conduct adopted by motion on January 26, 2021. There is a Code of Ethics that applies to all elected
officials, but is not enforced and no procedures or policies exist to govern enforcement. The City's
personnel policies contain a general Code of Conduct; all employees are expected to treat the public as
their most valued customer. He questioned who doesn't reply to emails from their most valued customer.
Via a public records request, he obtained an email from the former Finance Director to the Mayor seeking
permission to reply to an email he sent last year; he never received a reply.
Mr. Reidy continued, the Code of Conduct for City Council adopted earlier this year says that no
Councilmember shall dominate proceedings. Despite this, a Councilmember made a seven -minute
comment during last week's Council meeting that was not specific to the item on the agenda. He
questioned what happened the next time a Councilmember wanted to do the same. He requested the
Council advise their constituents how existing rules and codes will be enforced before adopting new
Council Rules of Procedure. The proposed rules state public comment time cannot be donated by one
speaker to another; he questioned why when it had been allowed in the past. The City Council needs more
time to review the proposed Council Rules of Procedure for completeness; the proposed rules discuss
items requiring four votes but are silent on items requiring a unanimous vote. Considering all the mistakes
made since 1985, he requested a section for items that require a unanimous vote be included. He

6.1.a
requested the Council add a rule granting a speaker one additional minute if the City Attorney or City
Staff address the public comments after the comment is made. City Council represents citizens and
citizens should get the last word before decisions are made.
William Lighter stated he was not a resident of Edmonds and was speaking on the Perrinville Creek
restoration project and the use of federal COVID funds for improvements on Perrinville Creek. The
$3.7M is a good start to repair the damage to Perrinville Creek caused in large party by the fish -killing,
flow -splitting weir installed by the City of Edmonds to basically benefit two property owners. That fish -
killer weir has been a drain on the City's expenses and the ductal iron pipe under the BNSF tracks is
badly corroded. He documented that and spoke before the Council nine years ago. The culvert has only
gotten worse since then. A track failure and a derailment into Browns Bay would be catastrophic, not only
the potential loss of human life but also environmental damage caused by the contents of numerous
railcars carrying bulk and crude entering Puget Sound as well as chemicals on the tracks. Replacing the
culvert and removing the flow splitter on Perrinville Creek is a good start but more needs to be done,
particularly to replace the culvert on Talbot Road above the BNSF tracks which also obstructs fish
passage and salmon migration. He commended the City for spending the money to repair and replace the
culvert under the railroad tracks and hoped the City could find the money and resources to do more to
replace the culvert under Talbot Road.
Natalie Seitz, Edmonds, commented on the lack of public investment in SR-99 communities. She
disclosed that she is White and lives in the SR-99 community and that some of her comments align with
her interests but are not related to her specifically. She was very frustrated by the Council's discussion of
the Civic Center playfield Park Construction contracts. She questioned how she should respond to a call
to action to pay more than just lip service to the blatant inequity of this park that is in and of itself lip
service. Functionally, Councilmember L. Johnson said with her comments what all other
Councilmembers present said with their votes and their silence; it does not matter. The equity of this
decision does not matter because lots of decisions, time and money had already been invested, hundreds if
not thousands of decisions to redevelop Civic Center Playfield and invest more public funds in an area
that is already briming with parks. Each one was an opportunity to consider the location, size and scope
and each fell short. Looking at the 2021 Edmonds Capital Projects Map, this project is hardly isolated in
demonstrating where the City chooses to spend public funds. This is not a mistake, it is institutional;
when institutional inequities align with greater concentration of minorities and people of color, it is
known as institutional racism. She encouraged the City and Council to look at its decision -making
process to identify and address why SR-99 communities continue to receive little public investment in
light of the proportion of the population it represents. However, if it is not enough to matter for any
individual decision, nothing will change. It is not enough to matter that the Civic Center Playfield
contract does not include a parking lot for all the people in the SR-99 communities that the City fantasies
will regularly access and benefit from this park. It is not enough to matter that when the City chooses to
build nearly all the 2021 capital projects and $15M on this park, the value of nearby properties and
businesses increase and that is how public investment becomes concentrated private wealth in the Bowl.
Ms. Seitz continued, it is not enough to matter that if it not under the direct supervision of the City of
Edmonds, it does not count by code as parks when the City Council and other residents identify assets of
neighboring jurisdictions as good enough to serve the SR-99 corridor communities. The insinuation that
the dilapidated play structure north of Lake Ballinger or adding a single park bench at Mathay Ballinger
somehow nullifies the $15M investment in active recreation park facilities is insulting. The City and
Council should serious reflect on why this conversation was entertained for the SR-99 corridor. She was
dumbfounded by the July 6t1i meeting minutes; the City Council does not need SR-99 communities to
articulate that money needs to be spent on the betterment of the SR-99 neighborhoods in the PROS Plan.
This is a City contrived precondition to receiving public funds. Research indicates that complaint based
governance leads to inequitable and racist results. The City should immediately prepare and make public

a GIS analysis and maps of population density race in association with park facilities and let that be the
backbone of the PROS Plan public engagement. The City is currently conducting a survey that asks
people to prioritize between park redevelopment, one dollar sign, and building parks, three dollar signs. It
means nothing without showing people the information that the majority of parks are located in one area
of the City or that redevelopment of Civic Center is $15M.
Jenny Anttilla, Edmonds, said Ms. Seitz's comments are very valid. It is great the City purchased Civic
Field a few years ago, but she did not see the point of exceeding the estimates so more money is owed and
she preferred to downgrade the design and keep it an open area and not spend $15.5M as that is too much
and there are other areas of the City that need help. She commented some policies happened in 2020 and
2021 that were against the residents and business owners; for example, a decision was made to close Main
Street on Saturdays and Sundays even though the shops were opposed to a 2-day closure and preferred a
1-day closure. The City did not listen to the shops which she did not think was fair. Many decisions have
been made during COVID that citizens would have liked to speak on such as the new tree policy. She
recalled 6-7 years ago Council Chambers were flooded with residents who did not agree with the tree
policy that the Council just passed. Because the public could not attend meetings, the tree policy passed
even though a lot of Edmonds residents did not support it. She concluded it was important for
Councilmembers running for office this year or in the future to remember that residents don't forget.

1. PRESENTATION OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT CODE (ECDC 18.30) UPDATE
Mr. Richardson reviewed:
Why are we updating the code now?
o NPDES Permit with State requires codes to protect surfaces water from development which
meets or exceeds standards prescribed by Ecology.
o New permit requires that the City update to newest Ecology standard by July 2022.
o Staff aiming for effective date of January 1, 2022, for clarity in applicability timelines.
o Ecology's newest manual (2019 SWMMWW) has minimal substantive changes since
previous version (2014); most revisions are organizational changes.
o See Ecology documents Executive Summary of the 2019 Revisions and Crosswalk: 2014-
2019 SWMMWW for additional information of Ecology driven changes.
How is ECDC related to Ecology Manual

Packet Pg. 7
6.1.a
o Ecology issues their manual (2019 SWMMWW)
o City makes minor local modifications via the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum (Addendum)
o City updates ECDC 18.30 to adopt the new manual as modified in the Addendum
o Some provisions are required by Ecology
o Some items are optional add-ons for City of Edmonds
o City provisions cannot be less stringent than Ecology standard and cannot be less stringent
than previous version (without Ecology approval)
Drainage Review 101
o Drainage mitigation is required when projects exceed certain thresholds of new plus replaced
hard surfaces and/or clearing limits.
o Hard surfaces are traditional impervious surfaces, plus other compacted surfaces including
gravel roadways and pervious pavements.
o Replaced hard surfaces are any surfaces where the subgrade material below the surface is
exposed temporarily during the construction operation.
o Category 1 — Minimum Requirements (MR) 1 — 5 apply
■ 2,000 SF new plus replace hard surfaces, OR
■ 7,000 SF of land disturbing activity (clearing)
o Category 2 — Minimum Requirements 1 — 9 apply
■ 5,000 SF new plus replace hard surfaces, OR
■ Converts 0.75 acres of vegetation to lawn/landscaped area, OR
■ Converts 2.5 acres of native vegetation to pasture
o Minimum Requirement #5 (LID)
■ Applies to all projects that require drainage review (over 2,000 SF hard surfaces).
■ Focuses on erosion flows; 2-year storm and below.
■ Requires the use of infiltration if feasible
■ Predominant way we get storm water mitigation in Edmonds
o Minimum Requirement #6 (Water quality)
■ Requires 5,000 SF of pollution generating hard surfaces (ie. drivable pavement; does not
include roofs in most cases)
■ Requires treatment of runoff specific to removing contaminants.
o Minimum Requirement #7 (Flow control)
■ Requires 10,000 SF of hard surfaces (or more than 0.1 cfs increase in discharge from site)
■ Big vaults/detention; this is the traditional way of storm water management where we try
to match historic flow rates.
■ Infiltration is required to be used for flow control if applicable
How's it working?
o Switched permit tracking systems at beginning of 2020; reviewed single family building
permit data since that date through the start of June 2021.
■ This didn't capture plats as a whole project but reflects the mitigation required for each
individual home within a plat.
■ Focused on main BMP where multiple BMPs were proposed.
0 52 projects required drainage review
0 2 applied dispersion as main BMP
0 22 applied an infiltration -based BMP
0 5 applied a perforated pipe connection
0 22 applied Edmonds -specific detention BMP
0 1 qualified for direct discharge
What's changing?
o Most changes are updates to match Ecology reorganization and/or to provide clarity where
staff have experienced commonly missed or misinterpreted information by manual users &
designers.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
July 20, 2021
Page 5
Packet Pg. 8
6.1.a
o See 2022 ECDC 18.30 and Stormwater Addendum Summary of Changes in agenda packet
■ Direction from Ecology (Orange) = Ecology prescribed/required
■ Direction from Staff (White) = Staff -proposed clarification, reorganization, or update
without substantial change/impact
■ Direction from Staff (Green) = Staff -proposed change with potential impacts
o Staff seek direction on staff -proposed changes with potential impacts prior to moving code
for State approval and permitting.
■ Department of Commerce and SEPA approval required prior to formal Council adoption.
Change #1: New connections of existing hard surfaces
o Old: Current code allows for connection of existing hard surfaces on case -by -case basis with
a focus on maintaining City pipe capacity.
o New: Staff propose revisions to require new connections of existing hard surfaces to be
treated like new hard surfaces requiring full drainage mitigation.
■ Note that this is specific to new connections; where residents have an existing
connection, they are permitted to replace the connection in -kind without any mitigation
requirements.
o Staff Opinion: These new connections of existing surfaces are still new or altered impacts to
the City system and any surfaces water they drain to; they should be mitigated for as new
impacts.
o Potential Impacts: This may limit homeowner options when working on homes without
development or expansion. However, the impacts of allowing every pre -drainage -code
residence or business to connect to our system would be continuation of the negative impacts
of unmitigated historic development and detrimental to staff ability to manage the capacity of
our systems in the future.
Change #2: Removing Edmonds Way as a direct discharge basin
o Old: Current code recognizes the Edmonds Way drainage basin as a partial direct discharge
basin with reduced requirements for LID (MR #5) and flow control (MR #7)
o New: Staff propose revisions to remove all exemptions for the Edmonds Way basin, resulting
in equal application of all drainage code requirements to the Edmonds Way basin.
o Staff Opinion: The Edmonds Way drainage pipe (WSDOT) is known to overflow to the
Edmonds Marsh under certain conditions; since this demonstrates a capacity issue and now
discharges to a non -manmade water body, the direct discharge exemption should no longer
apply.
o Potential Impacts: This simply means that projects within the Edmonds Way basin comply
with the exact same requirement as the rest of the City.
Change #3: Increasing protection of Perrinville Creek
o Old: Current code applies the drainage code uniformly to all areas of City, including the
Perrinville Creek Basin.
o New: Staff propose revisions to increase the retrofit requirement for LID and increase the
flow control standard within the Perrinville Creek basin (only).
■ Retrofit (applies to existing unmitigated surfaces to remain): 25% _> 50%
■ Flow control: Match 50-year peak => Match 100-year peak (ie. King County Level 3
Standard)
o Staff Opinion: The Perrinville has been beaten up by past development and needs better
protections. The change in flow control standard is typical for impacted water ways and the
retrofit requirement attempts to rectify some of the past abuses on the creek. Staff believe it's
fair to ask the residents who have directly benefitted from the impacts on the creek to chip in
a little extra towards its recovery.
o Potential Impacts: Flow control will have minimal impacts; larger projects will have larger
detention facilities with minimal impacts and cost on already large budgets. However, the
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
July 20, 2021
Page 6
Packet Pg. 9
retrofit requirement has the potential to impact homeowners who are not necessarily
developing and may become cost -limiting to smaller projects in this basin.
Change #4: Detention preferred over perforated pipes
o Old: Current code adopted the Ecology BMP list for MR #5 and then added an Edmonds -
specific detention BMP to the end of the list, making its priority less than that of a perforated
pipe connection.
o New: Staff propose revisions to elevate the Edmonds -specific detention BMP to be
considered before a perforated pipe connection.
o Staff Opinion: Perforated pipes connection are only used when infiltration is already found
undesirable for some reason; because of this fact, they are of very little mitigation benefit and
often get proposed in dangerous or undesirable locations. Staff have run flow comparisons to
demonstrate that the detention option generates far more desirable decreases in the flow rates
for sites this condition would apply to.
o Potential Impacts: At a minimum detention would be anticipated in nearly all cases where
drainage review is required. Detention systems may add some cost to developing compared to
the perforated pipe connections but will go much further in protecting the City system and
surfaces waters.
What's Next?
o Staff is requesting comments from the City Council.
■ We are requesting comments now, prior to beginning the permitting and approval
process.
o Approvals Needed
■ Department of Commerce
■ SEPA
■ No Ecology review
o Public Input
■ SEPA comment period required
■ Public hearing required before final approval/adoption
■ Additional workshops, as directed/if needed.
o Questions/concerns: Zachary.Richardson@edmondswa.gov
Council President Paine what Mr. Richardson expected to see in the next update of Ecology Stormwater
Management Manual. Mr. Richardson responded Ecology will begin that process soon. Personally, he
would like to see the existing codes updated to address climate change.
Councilmember Buckshnis thanked Mr. Richardson for responding to her emailed questions. She referred
to the proposed changes and asked about the associated costs that will be borne by the homeowner. She
asked about costs related to Change #1. Mr. Richardson answered it depends on the site and the
conditions. That change will upfront trigger the need for a geotechnical engineer to do an infiltration test,
which will cost at least $1,000-2,000, one of the larger costs. He would need to do further research to
determine the associated cost.
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to Change #2, Removing Edmonds Way as a direct discharge basin,
relaying her understanding that as development occurs along Edmonds Way it would no longer be treated
as a direct basin due to flooding along SR-104. Mr. Richardson answered it was not done to target any
center of development. When he was first hired, he was unaware of that overflow and once he discovered
it, this was identified as an important update to the code. It is entirely driven by the overflow that occurs
at the marsh and the need to protect the marsh. Councilmember Buckshnis asked if the Dayton Street
pump station, a costly addition to the stormwater system, had an impact on the Edmonds Way flooding.
Mr. Richardson answered this is the WSDOT line, the Edmonds Way basin is carried down into the
WSDOT basin which now overflows into the marsh.

Councilmember Buckshnis referred to Change #3, and asked if there have been discussions with
Lynnwood due to development occurring there that impacts Edmonds. Mr. Richardson answered there
have not been a lot of discussions yet due to interest in fixing the immediate Perrinville issue first, but is
on the list of things to do. He was not aware of what Lynnwood was doing in this round of updates.
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled there have been efforts in the past to get Lynnwood to join WRIA 8
so they understand the importance of salmon recovery, stormwater, etc. and they have not been interested
because they indicate they have no waterfront when in fact the Edmonds waterfront is their waterfront.
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to Change #3 and the cost to homeowners of requiring larger
detention facilities. Mr. Richardson answered in this case, the homeowner will have already triggered
drainage review so a lot of the costs will have been incurred by the project. For a homeowner retrofit, it
was 50% of the area, a relatively small area, approximately 40 feet of 24" pipe. The flow control would
be for bigger volumes and a similar percentage of the budget because it is a larger system and much larger
budget. It will not affect the average homeowner as it requires 10,000 square feet.
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled putting in a detention pond in a southeast Portland home that was less
than 10,000 square feet, but was related to flooding and aged infrastructure. With regard to Change #4,
she agreed perforated pipes can cause a lot of problems. She observed the minimum requirement was
perforated pipes and the proposal was to do more than that. Mr. Richardson answered the proposal is to
recommend Edmonds -specific detention BMP be considered before a perforated pipe connection.
Councilmember Buckshnis thanked Mr. Richardson for the compete packet.
Councilmember L. Johnson referred to #9 and #25, new connections over 25,000 square feet to be
handled like a new project. She asked whether a process should be considered to document cumulative
connections for all categories. She asked if that would be a worthwhile undertaking or would it have
negligible impact. Mr. Richardson answered the drainage code used to include cumulative impact
language which would address what Councilmember L. Johnson referenced, where someone could
piecemeal smaller projects in sequence. That was really hard to track because often there were no permits
for that work. That is one of the reasons the retrofit requirement was created, tackling 25% of everything
could mitigate against that without tracking it. Councilmember L. Johnson commented the impact would
be unknown if they were unpermitted. Mr. Richardson explained most end up being caught by code
enforcement; if is over 2,000 square feet, drainage review is required and if it is over 2,000 square feet it
has to be documented in the list. He noted under 2,000 square feet often does not require a permit.
A one of the Councilmembers impatiently waiting on a code rewrite, Councilmember Olson said she
appreciated the work that went into this significant code rewrite. It may be boring to the public but it was
exciting to her.
Mayor Nelson asked if staff had gotten sufficient direction from Council. Mr. Richardson responded he
did not hear much objection. If the Council was comfortable with the changes, he will move forward with
them and return to Council for formal adoption.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she wanted a better understanding of the cost implications of the changes.
She understood the importance of stormwater, but there is also stormwater mitigation in the tree code. Mr.
Richardson offered to provide costs.
8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. ORDINANCE CREATING THE EDMONDS RESCUE PLAN FUND
Economic Development/Community Services Director Patrick Doherty reviewed:
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
July 20, 2021
Page 8
Packet Pg. 11
6.1.a
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
o The ARPA was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Biden on 3/11/21
ARPA and provides funds to cities, allowing for the funds to be used to:
■ respond to the COVID-19 emergency or its negative economic impacts, including
assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits or aid to impacted industries
such as tourism, travel, and hospitality;
■ provide premium pay to essential workers or provide grants to employers of essential
workers during the COVID-19 emergency;
■ provide government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue of such state,
territory, or tribal government due to the COVID-19 emergency; or
■ make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure
o A Treasury Department 151-page Rule has been issued that provides more detailed guidance
on the use of these funds
o ARPA will provide $11,893,099 to the City of Edmonds in two tranches:
■ $5,950,087.50 was received on 6/25/21
■ The remaining $5,943,011.50 is expected approximately one year later
■ Funds are available for expenditures incurred as of 3/3/21 and through 12/31/24.
Expenditures shall be considered "incurred" if they are obligated for projects or programs
completed through 12/31/26.
Mr. Doherty reviewed the Edmonds Rescue Plan Fund:
• The proposed Ordinance would create the Edmonds Rescue Plan Fund and set out its intended
uses.

Main Motion
COUNCILMEMBER L. JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON
CREATING THE EDMONDS RESCUE FUND AND SETTING OUT ITS INTENDED USE.
Amendment #1
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO REVISE "WORKING ADULTS" IN THE FIRST SENTENCE OF SECTION E
TO "PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUFFERED WORKFORCE PARTICIPATION INTERRUPTIONS."
Action on Amendment #1
AMENDMENT CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Distelhorst asked Mr. Doherty to comment on the process for future adjustments,
recalling the Council approved the initial allotment of CARES funds and later made adjustments as needs
changed. Mr. Doherty recognized this is a 4-5.5 year program and reports, whether quarterly, annually or
as requested, will provide an opportunity to review the distribution of funds and whether any adjustments
are necessary.
Councilmember K. Johnson referred to Account C, and the disparity in the eligibility criteria; for example
in 3.c, a business is not eligible if they received more than $5000 in grants, however, the explanation of
Small Business Supports offers a loan of up to $10,000 each. Mr. Doherty answered they were not
intended to be the same. The intent under #3 was grants up to $10,000; last year the Council approved a
similar provision which was expanded slightly to provide $8,000 grants. One of the criteria is that the
business has not receive more than $5,000. For example, if a business did not receive a City or State grant
or tax credit, which some did not because they did not understand the complex provisions. It was not
intended that previous grants and this potential grant would be the same amount.
Councilmember Buckshnis reiterated her statement last week that it was foolish to put 42% of the ARPA
funds the City receives into green infrastructure because citizens, non -profits and individuals need more
money. This a 4-5.5 year program and regardless that some think the City's demographics are wealthy,
some people need money. She did not agree with the eligibility requirement that prevents a business that
received $5,000 from receiving another grant. The spirit of the ARPA is to rescue citizens, people and
businesses that are in trouble. She will propose removing $750,000 from Item F.1 and $1 million in Item
.173 and redistribute it to General Business Support, Tourism Support, Small Business Support and
Nonprofit Support as well as the Retraining Program. The amounts in those accounts need to be increased
and if it's later found too much has been set aside for citizens, funds can be reallocated to green
infrastructure. She said $3.5M out of $11M is sufficient for green infrastructure, approximately 25%. She
pointed out Household Support of $3M was 26%, Utility Support 1%, Household Repair 9%, General
Business Support 1.8%, Tourism Support 2.7%, Small Business Support 5.6%, Nonprofit Support 4.5%,

6.1.a
and Job Training 5.4%. She wanted a more equitable distribution so that assistance was provided to
everyone. She reiterated 42% for green infrastructure for projects that have been in the CIP/CFP for a
long time was foolish.
Amendment #2
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
AMEND TO REMOVE ITEM FA, MARSH WATER QUALITY AND FLOOD CONTROL, FOR
$750,000, AND REDISTRIBUTE IT TO GENERAL BUSINESS SUPPORT.
Councilmember Olson explained some of the most active environmental citizens are not in favor of the
projects in Account F which was surprising to her so perhaps this redistribution is a good idea due to need
in those other accounts. She expressed support for the amendment.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas did not support the amendment. The Council has been talking about the
need to take care of the marsh at least since she has been on Council and this is a perfect opportunity to
accomplish that. She did not support taking money from the marsh to give it to other sources that may
need it. With regard to equity and fairness in grants, she said some people did not apply for grants,
particularly those in communities where English was not their first language.
Councilmember Distelhorst said the Department of the Treasury's guidance states, "Treasury encourages
recipients to consider green infrastructure investments and projects to improve resilience to the effects of
climate change. For example, more frequent and extreme precipitation events combined with construction
and development trends have led to increased instances of stormwater runoff, water pollution, and
flooding." In the previous item, staff described changes to update the stormwater code from the 50 year
peak to the 100 year peak. He referred to emails from Mr. Williams regarding the stormwater/marsh water
quality project that was identified by Students Saving Salmon and asked staff to speak to the specifics of
this item.
Public Works Director Phil Williams explained the $750,000 is for a marsh water quality project. There
are a series of catch basins on the state highway where pollutants from traffic such as oil drippings, tire
wear, brake wear, etc. as well as sediment run into the marsh every time it rains. This is an opportunity to
do something about that. The City applied for and received a grant for $313,500 this year to be matched
by $104,500 from stormwater resources to provide $418,000 to take care of those catch basins. That will
either be done through bioretention or actual direct mechanical chemical treatment. These fund offer an
opportunity to extend that concept to the other side of SR-104 as well as the stormwater system in Harbor
Square which has a lot of the same pollutants. The primary pieces of the marsh restoration such as the
daylighting of Willow Creek cannot be pursued yet because it is tied up in a property transfer issue and
awaiting final cleanup of the Unocal property. The SR-104 culverts are entirely within the City's control,
do involve the Unocal property and could protect the City -owned marsh. He concluded it is a good
environmental project. Councilmember Distelhorst summarized it was a more comprehensive water
quality treatment versus one section of it. Mr. Williams agreed.
Council President Paine said she did not support the amendment, anticipating there will be future
opportunities for business support via the federal government. She encouraged all businesses to take full
advantage of that and other opportunities. She was hopeful the City would provide information and access
to businesses. Mr. Doherty explained the City had two grant processes last year, the County had two
grants process with funds available from the State and the State provided grants as well. The City did
mailings, Facebook postings as well as provided information on the City's website regarding those
opportunities in several languages which will be done again with these funds. He has also heard there will
be grants available to businesses from other sources. Council President Paine recognized stormwater
cleanup near the ferry line and marsh has been needed for years. She expressed support for leaving the
funds in place as proposed.

6.1.a
Councilmember Buckshnis commented it was obvious that not all the information has been shared. She
knew the Port has done wonders for their stormwater control and wondered if the Port would accept Mr.
Williams comments about pollutants in Harbor Square. The Port has proposed a new program that they
are working on with WRIA 8. She is very familiar with the Edmonds Marsh restoration and has been
involved with WRIA 8 and the Salmon Recovery Council for ten years and helped get the marsh on the
project watch list. She observed apparently people are not as important as stormwater. The City was
recently informed that the citizen group, Save Our Marsh, will be allowed to adopt that area of SR-104.
Joe Scordino informed Mr. Williams of the program that will removing invasive plants, bittersweet
nightshade vines and thickets, and the City will be able to keep the tide gate open. Removal of nightshade
thickets will improve the water quality. WSDOT has agreed to bring in a backhoe to assist with removal.
It is preliminary to allocate these funds until there is a determination whether that project improves the
water quality. This is a holistic project and she did not believe the $750,000 project considered other
issues facing the City and nonprofits who have asked for $1M. She urged environmentalists on the
Council to support her amendment, using the $750,000 for the human aspect of the ARPA.
Councilmember L. Johnson said she also read the 151 page Treasury document which includes four
categories; Category 4 states, improve stormwater infrastructure, address pollution, control non -point
sources of pollution, improve resilience of infrastructure of severe weather events and create green
infrastructure and protect water bodies from pollution. The intent of F.3 is water quality, flood control,
retention and treatment of surface water runoff into the marsh and enhance water quality of the marsh as
well as other projects. That is in the spirit of the ARPA funds. She did not support the amendment.
Councilmember Olson commented when voters get their voters pamphlet and there is a group that they
would have expected to support a ballot measure does not, there tends to be a bigger picture at play which
is the case here. She acknowledged the administration's proposal was good, but upon vetting, it seems
there may be better ways to divide the money. The Council will the opportunity to move funds in the
future if necessary. From the emails the Council has received, the citizens do not support the
administration's allocation. She will support the amendment.
Action on Amendment #2
UPON ROLL CALL, AMENDMENT FAILED (3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS K. JOHNSON,
BUCKSHNIS, AND OLSON VOTING YES; COUNCILMEMBERS DISTELHORST, FRALEY-
MONILLAS, AND L. JOHNSON AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE VOTING NO.
Amendment #3
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
AMEND THE LAST SENTENCE OF ACCOUNT E, EDMONDS RESCUE PLAN JOB
RETRAINING PROGRAM, TO READ, "THE A4AVO COUNCIL SHALL BE AUTHORIZED TO
ENTER INTO THE CORRESPONDING CONTRACT(S) WITH PARTICIPATING COLLEGES
SERVING EDMONDS RESIDENTS."
Mr. Doherty explained the reason it was proposed that the Mayor be authorized is this is the most time
sensitive proposal because it was intended that this funding would be in place for the coming term which
starts in September. It may be difficult to approve the contracts in time to advertise the program if
Council approval is required. It was hoped by approving the program, the Council would approve the
Mayor's authority to enter into the contracts.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked how much money was in this account. Mr. Doherty answered
$600,000. Shoreline Community Colle and Edmonds College have expressed interest so the funds may be
split evenly between the two but it also may depend on the specific requests. Councilmember Fraley-
Monillas suggested indicating that part of the funding will go to Shoreline Community College and part
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
July 20, 2021
Page 14
Packet Pg. 17
6.1.a
will go to Edmonds College. Mr. Doherty said it would be difficult to specify those agencies in the
ordinance because although Shoreline and Edmonds have expressed interest and provided examples of
programs, contracts have not been negotiated. Additionally, specifying an amount to each would limit
flexibility should one college have a more robust response than the other. Councilmember Fraley-
Monillas observed if the contracts were not approved in time, the funding potentially would not be
available until winter quarter. Mr. Doherty advised that was the potential and the intent was to have it
available for fall quarter.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked Council President Paine the purpose of requiring the contracts be
approved by Council. Council President Paine explained the Mayor has a $100,000 spending limit and
Council authority is required over that amount. Mr. Doherty said by approving the Edmonds Rescue Plan
Fund ordinance, the Council would be providing authority to the Mayor to contract for more than
$100,000 in this account.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented unless the intent is to bring everything over $100,000
related to this project back to Council one by one, she did not see the purpose. She understood the
$100,000 spending limit, but approval of the ordinance would authorize the Mayor to approve the
contracts. She was not particularly interested in knowing about the division of funds, particularly if it
delayed the ability for students to register. If the Council wants everything over $100,000 to come back to
Council, that is one thing, but she did not understand this particular objection. Mr. Doherty pointed out
Account D, Edmonds Rescue Plan Nonprofit Organization Support, expressly states, "Small grants of up
to $20,000 and totaling no more than $100,000 shall be approvable by the Mayor. Large grants of any
amount over $20,000 for a total of up to $400,000 shall be approvable by the City Council." That is
because there will be more time to administer that program. The retraining account is more time sensitive
which is why giving the Mayor authorization was expressly identified.
As a parent familiar with college age students, Councilmember L. Johnson said she was familiar with
programs at both Edmonds College and Shoreline Community College. Without knowing their offerings
or the need, she did not want to specify the amount that would be provided to each school. In addition, it
may be possible that Everett Community College is interested in participating. She understood that
$600,000 was a lot of money and typically the Mayor has a $100,000 limit so initially she supported the
amendment. However, Mr. Doherty made a good case and after further consideration and as a mom with
community college age students, she knew that class registration had already started and delaying the
program will make it more difficult for students to access the funds. She respected the intent of the
amendment, but with this account, she agreed with the urgency.
Councilmember Distelhorst asked if the intent was colleges and community colleges, and not trade or
technical schools. Mr. Doherty said that was the proposal; the intent was to focus on the two that have the
greatest impact on the community.
Councilmember Olson referred to City jobs for which it is difficult to find employees and asked if there
were particular job training opportunities the City wanted to encourage related to its needs. She recalled
hearing during the last 11/2 years that there were jobs that the City has a difficult time filling. She hoped
consideration would be given to training, certification or college opportunities that would fulfill those
needs. Mr. Doherty said he spoke with representatives of the college foundations who described how they
are changing some short-term programs and certificates due to what has happened over the last 11/2 years
and the need for people to obtain greater skills to be more competitive. The colleges are responding to
that, it is not just about a degree but also certification training, upskilling and reskilling. The colleges
identified programs they would like to focus on, but some internal vetting will likely be required as
students apply. There is a lot of flexibility and the reporting will indicate how it is received and whether
changes need to be made.

6.1.a
Councilmember Olson asked if the way the program was set up would accommodate a program or
certificate identified by a director. Mr. Doherty said the contracts with the colleges need to provide
flexibility. For example, if they identify programs of focus and there is no interest from students, changes
may need to be made to include other programs to ensure they are responsive to the population.
Councilmember Olson referred to Washington State Ferries' inability to fill some positions that results in
reduced service. She suggested training for ferry captain programs would be a good thing to make
available.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she was interested in including trade schools. Her next amendment
related to green streets will add more to this account. She commented on a neighbor who is taking an
EMT/Firefighters program which is also costly.
Amendment 3A
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
AMEND TO STATE, "THE MAYOR SHALL BE AUTHORIZED WITH COUNCIL PRESIDENT
OVERSIGHT TO ENTER INTO CORRESPONDING CONTRACT(S) WITH PARTICIPATING
COLLEGES SERVING EDMONDS."
Councilmember Buckshnis commented this would help move the process forward more quickly.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas expressed support for the amendment, noting trade schools are an
important piece of this program.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday asked whether the phrase "Council President oversight" meant there would be
signature block for the Council President on the contract. He asked how the Council would know that
oversight had been complied with.

COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
AMEND TO REMOVE ITEM F.3 GREEN STREETS AND RAIN GARDENS FOR $1M.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained the Edmonds Rescue Plan City Green Infrastructure includes $ 1 M
for Green Streets and Rain Gardens, enhance existing streets throughout Edmonds by adding features that
retain and/or treat stormwater runoff to reduce stormwater surges and contaminants that reach Puget
Sound. Similarly, rain gardens in association with streets, parks and other public facilities may be

6.1.a
established for these same purposes. There are important human aspects of the plan that can be
supplemented such as the Job Retraining Program. Funding can be reallocated to green streets and rain
gardens in the future if appropriate. Snohomish County Conservation District provides funds for rain
gardens. She preferred to concentrate on increasing funding for Accounts A-E.
Councilmember Distelhorst referred to the guidance from the Treasury, commenting this is related to
environmental justice and looking at where problems are being fixed. If only the end of the pipe is
considered and not the beginning, there will not be a great deal of improvement and funding will continue
to address the results instead of preventing problems upstream. Living on an arterial with increased traffic
and pollutants, he sees daily the affects that has on waterways from the top of the hill and down. He
supported retaining the proposed funding and if there isn't a need for it in the coming five years as
climate impacts increase, the funding can be adjusted and spent elsewhere.
Council President Paine did not support the amendment because having greener roads and infrastructure
helps everyone and, as Councilmember Distelhorst mentioned, it is important to address problems where
they occur. Runoff down the hills in Edmonds have had negative impacts where the City touches Puget
Sound and infiltrating that water uphill is a smarter, better way. These funds provide an opportunity to do
green streets and rain gardens, an opportunity the City does not always have. Many neighborhoods have
installed rain gardens on their own; continuing that process with the City's assistance will capture a lot of
runoff before it reaches the marsh. She did not want to pass up that opportunity.
Councilmember L. Johnson appreciated Councilmember Distelhorst raising the issue of environmental
justice. She hoped with this funding, the City would put emphasis on underserved communities. It was
stated that some neighborhoods installed their own rain gardens, something that may be harder for some.
She emphasized the importance of environmental justice in the allocation of these funds.
Councilmember Olson expressed support for retaining these funds. She hoped if there were more
businesses and individuals in crisis than anticipated, the City would keep this funding in mind specifically
for reallocation.
Amendment 4A
COUNCILMEMBER K. JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BUCKSHNIS, TO AMEND BY REDUCING THE AMOUNT BY HALF TO $500,000 AND MOVE
THE REMAINING $500,000 INTO SMALL BUSINESS SUPPORT FOR TOTAL A TOTAL OF
$1.125M.
Councilmember K. Johnson commented this is important but it is not the highest importance and there
needs to be more support for small businesses.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she will oppose this amendment for reasons previously stated. In
addition, the County has indicated the State will be providing more money to small businesses and
nonprofits. However, there is no money from the County or State for green streets, rain gardens or other
environmental projects. She agreed with Councilmember Olson, if it looks like money is needed, funds
could be reallocated.
Councilmember L. Johnson pointed out the discussion is related to recovering from a pandemic which has
been a crisis, but there has been an environmental crisis forever and that can keeps getting kicked down
the road. While the environmental crisis may be slower moving, the can has been kicked for so long that
it is now at the front door and should not be ignored. She made the case that green streets and rain gardens
were equally as important and the implications of not addressing it are beyond what can be imagined. The
environment is a crisis and she supported what Edmonds can do to address it.

6.1.a
Councilmember Olson commented one of the things in the legislation as a possible use of the funds was
mental health and addiction. COVID has taken a toll and there is nothing in the proposal related to that.
She was uncertain if that should be discussed in the context of this amendment or if funds for that need
should be a separate discussion. She asked if the administration had a reason for not including that. Mayor
Nelson encouraged Councilmembers to keep their discussion related to the amendment. Mr. Doherty said
the quick answer is the City is aggressively moving forward with a social worker and human services
funding to agencies. Funding was not included in this proposal as the intent was to allow those programs
to address mental health, substance abuse and other issues related to social services.
Councilmember Buckshnis agreed there is an environmental crisis. She has been on WRIA 8 and Puget
Sound Partnership for 11 years. She agreed with the $500,000 reduction, emphasizing a number of the
accounts/categories could use more money as opposed to putting aside $lM for green streets and rain
gardens when they can be funded via grants from Snohomish County Conservation District. She
supported reducing the amount for green streets and rain gardens, and wanted to increase funding for
other categories.

Amendment 5
COUNCILMEMBER K. JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BUCKSHNIS, TO AMEND SECTION C.3, WITHOUT CHANGING TOTAL AMOUNT,
AUTHORIZE 100 GRANTS AT $5,000 EACH IN 2021.
Councilmember K. Johnson explained this would provide the maximum opportunity to help businesses;
114 business were served in 2020 and she anticipated an equal amount served in 2021 and only those who
had already received $5000 would not be eligible.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked about the current proposal. Mr. Doherty it is currently 50 grants
up to $10,000 each in 2021 and 25 grants up to $5,000 each in 2022 which recognizes as businesses
recover, the need should diminish after 2021.
If the Council approved the amendment and did not provide 100 $5000 grants, Councilmember L.
Johnson asked if it could be opened up to $10,000 grants or would the funds be held to provide more
grants in 2022. Mr. Doherty said if the amendment was approved, $10,000 grants would not be possible.
Councilmember L. Johnson said before she could support the amendment, she needed more specifics. She
assumed there was some metric for the administration choosing 50 at $10,000. If $5000 grants were not
provided to 100 businesses, she questioned how those funds would be used for small business support.
Mr. Doherty said many, many businesses in Edmonds have seen support. As the Economic Development
Commission discussed, most businesses who understood the availability of support received a fair
amount. It is believed a small number, such as 50, may have not understood the availability or applied in
time. A few businesses did not qualify last year due to the criteria regarding length of time in business
which is not proposed for the ARP funds. It is also believed that $10,000 to a smaller number of
businesses would provide more support to those that did not receive support.

Councilmember Distelhorst observed last year's program approved up to $10,000, but due to the need,
grants were reduced to $8,000 so more grants could be provided. Mr. Doherty said that is the reason for
the language "up to $10,000." Due to the number of grant applications last year, the amount was reduced
slightly to $8,000 to cover more businesses. The intent with this funding is to provide grants close to
$10,000. Councilmember Distelhorst observed if the need was greater, there is some flexibility.
Council President Paine observed the ordinance states, "...totaling up to 50 participants at $10,000 each
in 2021..." She asked if the intent was up to 50 participants or up to $10,000. Mr. Doherty relayed the
ordinance should state, "...totaling up to 50 at up to $10,000 each in 2021..."
Action on Amendment 5
UPON ROLL CALL, AMENDMENT FAILED (2-5), COUNCILMEMBERS K. JOHNSON AND
BUCKSHNIS VOTING YES; COUNCILMEMBERS DISTELHORST, FRALEY-MONILLAS,
OLSON, AND L. JOHNSON AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE VOTING NO.
Councilmember Olson referred to the category of Tourism Support in the Edmonds Rescue Plan Business
Support and increasing tourism promotion while there are difficulties with staffing hospitality of all kinds.
She suggested using some of the General Business Support to provide bonuses to keep businesses staffed.
She suggested specifying that the tourism support be provided to arts and culture nonprofits such as the
Edmonds Center for the Arts, the Arts Festival, etc. which bring people to town to visit businesses.
Promoting nonprofits helps them and tourism will occur as a byproduct of their advertising. Mr. Doherty
agreed a lot of the events occur associated with nonprofits but not all and certainly not all the activities
such as whale watching excursions, restaurants, etc. This proposal is to promote all of Edmonds and to do
more than can be done with the relatively small amount of lodging tax funds. The City has very low
lodging tax revenue compared to other cities and the tourism support was intended to help augment
advertising to get the word out. He did not want to limit what could be done with advertising and
promotion and because so much of what occurs in the City is the result of nonprofits, they will benefit
substantially from the proposal.
Amendment 6
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER K.
JOHNSON, TO AMEND TO REDUCE GREEN STREETS AND RAIN GARDENS TO $500,000
AND ADD $250,000 TO ACCOUNT E, EDMONDS RESCUE PLAN JOB RETRAINING
PROGRAM, AND $250,000 TO ACCOUNT D, EDMONDS RESCUE PLAN NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION SUPPORT.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented both of those accounts need more funding and it can be changed
in the future. She reiterated there are other grant resources for rain gardens.
Councilmember Olson raised a point of order, whether that was the same motion as before. Mr. Taraday
answered this motion is slightly different than the previous motion; they both take $500,000 out of the
Green Streets and Rain Gardens fund, but the reallocation is different.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she was not interested in this reallocation.

Amendment 7
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
AMEND TO REMOVE IN ACCOUNT C, SECTION 3.C, "BUSINESSES MUST NOT HAVE
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
July 20, 2021
Page 19
Packet Pg. 22
RECEIVED MORE THAN $5,000 IN OTHER GRANTS, CREDITS OR FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE."
Councilmember Olson said $5,000 is arbitrary; some businesses have a lot of overhead and others do not
have as much. A set dollar amount does not consider those variables. She supported removing this
section. She asked how the need would be assessed, expressing support for helping viable businesses
damaged by COVID who can survive with help. Mr. Doherty said it is important to have a number
because a lot of businesses have received a fair amount of support via tax credits, direct grants from the
City, State and County, etc. and they would potentially qualify if they experienced a 50% loss in revenue.
Removing the amount would open the funding to more businesses, sending the message that there is more
support than there really is. The intent was to focus on businesses that had not been assisted last year.
Action on Amendment 7
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS WITHDREW THE AMENDMENT WITH THE
AGREEMENT OF THE SECOND.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she wanted to ensure small businesses received funding. She recognized
many businesses received assistance, but they still need more. She knew of a person who had to turn
down a scholarship because he had to work in his parents' business. She asked how funds could be
provided to businesses that received assistance but needed more. Mr. Doherty assured there will be more
opportunity for assistance than just the City. The County, State, Economic Alliance of Snohomish
County, etc. will all offer grants again.
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to Section D that states, "Particular consideration will be given to
businesses owned by people of color, women, veterans, and other minorities." She recalled language
issues related to the availability of grants in the past.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked how many businesses there were in the City including home
businesses. City Clerk Passey answered there are approximately 3,500-4,000 on the books but far more
are operating that the City does not capture. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas observed if there were 3,000
businesses in Edmonds, a lot of them are home businesses which have the same issues as more visual
businesses. She suggested a robust contact of all businesses in Edmonds to see who needs assistance. She
knew of some home businesses that had gone out of businesses during the pandemic for a variety of
reasons. There are many more businesses than the ones people see, there are businesses in the
neighborhoods that people may not be aware of. Mr. Doherty said a postcard was sent to all businesses
last year in five languages and he anticipated that would be done again this year. Councilmember Fraley-
Monillas said due to information in the nationwide media, everyone has a better understanding of the
availability of grants. She hoped some of the businesses that were not as visible would seek assistance.
Amendment 9
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED AND SECONDED, TO
AMEND TO REDUCE GREEN STREETS AND RAIN GARDENS BY $300,000 AND MOVE IT
TO THE EDMONDS RESCUE PLAN JOB RETRAINING PROGRAM.
Councilmember Buckshnis said the Edmonds Rescue Plan Job Retraining Program was underfunded, it
provides a wonderful opportunity, and the additional funds would bring the total close to $1M.

2. 2021 ARPA BUDGET AMENDMENT ORDINANCE
Finance Director Dave Turley explained the ordinance is a budget amendment to provide authorization
for the administration to spend the money that the Council discussed in the previous agenda item. The
ordinance that Mr. Doherty presented was a plan for how to spending the ARPA money; this ordinance is
the authority to spend it. The effect on the budget would be $5,946,550 in revenue to the City and the
exact same amount in expenses. Staff s recommendation is a motion to approve the ordinance as included
in the packet.
COUNCILMEMBER DISTELHORST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON,
AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 4221 AS A RESULT OF UNANTICIPATED TRANSFERS AND
EXPENDITURES OF VARIOUS FUNDS, AND FIXING A TIME WHEN THE SAME SHALL
BECOME EFFECTIVE
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if a new Fund 142 had been created. Mr. Turley explained the CARES
Fund last year was 142; it was renamed as part of the ordinance approved in the previous agenda item.
The CARES Fund was in the 2020 budget which has expired. For clarity sake, the fund name was
changed but the purpose is nearly identical so the fund number was retained.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mayor Nelson declared a brief recess.
3. RESOLUTION ADOPTING COUNCIL RULES OF PROCEDURE
Council President Paine introduced this item, advising City Clerk Scott Passey prepared the staff report.
This has been before the Council several times.
Mr. Passey relayed there was a lot of information in packet so he will highlight the background and
context. With regard to the history, in 2013 the Council adopted a resolution stating the Council will
follow Robert's Rules of Order for the conduct of Council meetings. In December 2013, the Council
adopted another resolution adopting a Code of Conduct that applied to Council, boards, commissions and
work groups. In 2015, the Council adopted a standalone Code of Ethics that applied to elected officials
and appointed City volunteers. In January 2021, the Council adopted a new Code of Conduct that applies
exclusively to the City Council. That Code of Conduct has been incorporated into the draft Rules of
Procedure as Section 6 to consolidate all applicable rules and Code of Conduct into a single document.
Mr. Passey explained the draft Rules of Procedure have been edited and refined since first introduced in
2020 when the Council was presented a draft and asked to provide proposed changes. At that time, some
Councilmember provided changes, most of which were minor and helped clarify existing points. A few
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

6.1.a
other changes proposed completely different policies or procedures; prior drafts of the Rules of Procedure
in Council packets last year included all the proposed changes. In the version in tonight's packet, he chose
to omit what he considered the more controversial items and allow Councilmembers to propose
amendments in the regular course of the legislative process. The draft in the Council packet represents his
recommendation to Council. He did not intend to speak again to the value of having comprehensive Rules
of Procedure and was happy to respond to any questions.
As she stated when this arose in spring 2020, Councilmember L. Johnson said she would have found this
extremely helpful as an incoming Councilmember and it would be helpful for anyone considering serving
on City Council as well as to inform citizens' expectations.
COUNCILMEMBER L. JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 1295 ADOPTING ROBERT'S
RULES OF ORDER FOR THE CONDUCT OF CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS, AND
ESTABLISHING COMPREHENSIVE RULES OF PROCEDURE AND CODE OF CONDUCT
FOR THE CITY COUNCIL.
Councilmember Buckshnis found the motion very premature as the Council had not yet had a discussion.
She was uncertain what information had been removed and whether or not there was a working group that
worked on the Rules of Procedure. She expressed concern with attempting to push this through as a
procedural issue when there were so many other issues facing the Council such as the emergency
ordinance. This is a very detailed document and she was concerned with introducing a motion to approve
it at 9:45 p.m. She found it very perplexing that the Council was interested in passing it instead of having
a discussion. She did not support passing the resolution and wanted to know what Councilmembers had
proposed, what had been included and removed from the rules, how the rules were developed, etc. She
was also concerned with having only 15 minutes remaining in the meeting to discuss this when it was
scheduled for 45 minutes.
Councilmember Olson asked if the maker of the motion intended that the Council would vote on this
tonight. Councilmember L. Johnson commented this first came to Council in the spring, it was agreed to
delay it for 3 weeks and bring it back to Council. There has been quite a bit of time to review the rules
and ask questions. Many Councilmembers have spoken to the need for Rules of Procedure so it was her
intent to take it seriously and to consider moving forward.
With the response from Councilmember L. Johnson, Councilmember Olson said she agreed with
Councilmember Buckshnis' protest and asked the Council not to vote on this tonight. She was one of the
Councilmembers who submitted changes that were not included in the rules in the packet and with only
15 minutes remaining, she would not have the time and opportunity to explore them. Since nearly a year
has passed since Councilmembers provided that feedback, she suggested staff provide the changes that
Councilmembers submitted so those proposals were not lost in the interim. She wondered if there was a
better method for keeping track of past submittals.
Council President Paine said the Rules of Procedure have been on and off the Council's agenda for the
last year plus. The changes are not that significant and Councilmembers have had an opportunity to
review them, ask questions and develop amendments throughout the process. She did not have a problem
with approving the rules today, acknowledging there had not been much discussion but the Council
needed to start making decisions.
Councilmember Distelhorst recalled the last time this came to Council was April 20 when the Council
voted to delay 3 weeks until May 4. He supported delaying it at that time to provide Councilmembers
time to work on it. It has now been close to 18 months since the Council first saw the Rules of
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
July 20, 2021

Packet Pg. 25
6.1.a
Procedures. He thanked Mr. Passey for his work on this and for incorporating the Council's feedback.
Due to it now being 9:46 p.m., he suggested if this were delay to next week, it be at the top of the agenda
and that Councilmembers do their review ahead of time so that more clear process and procedure could be
added to the Council's work.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas agreed with Councilmember Distelhorst. She was exhausted from the
last item and feared if the Council continued reviewing the rules, they would not make good decisions.
She agreed moving it to the top of next week's agenda would be reasonable and would give
Councilmembers a week to review it and draft amendments. The rules have been worked on since she was
Council President in the winter of 2020. Mr. Passey pointed out the two public hearings next week take
priority so it would need to be later on the agenda. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas agreed the public
hearings should be done first but the Rules of Procedure should follow immediately.
Councilmember Olson referred to a public comment tonight that there was no section for items that
require a unanimous vote. She asked if that could be incorporated by next week. Mr. Passey answered it
could if that was the will of the Council.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas raised a point of order, suggesting that would be an amendment to the
motion.
COUNCILMEMBER OLSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE, TO
AMEND TO INCORPORATE A SECTION FOR ITEMS REQUIRING A UNANIMOUS VOTE.
Councilmember Olson agreed items requiring a unanimous vote was a different process so it would be a
good addition to the Rules of Procedure.
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out in April, the Council did not discuss the rules and even though it
has been on the agenda many times, the Council has never really reviewed the rules. She asked who
helped develop the Rules of Procedure, recalling Councilmember Fraley-Monillas' comment that
Edmonds was different than Edmonds. She recalled the Code of Conduct was developed by a committee
comprised of Councilmembers Olson, L. Johnson and Distelhorst. The Rules of Procedure have been
around since it was brought up by Councilmember K. Johnson that the Council follow Robert's Rules of
Order. It is not that the Council has been avoiding this but there are more pressing issues and generally
Councilmembers should know how to operate because they all were business people who learned
common sense, kindness and how to conduct business. She reiterated her interest in how the rules were
created and which the amendments were removed because they were controversial. Mayor Nelson
cautioned Councilmembers to keep comments related to the amendment.
Councilmember Distelhorst asked if votes that require unanimous affirmation are regulated under RCW.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday answered both RCW and case law. Councilmember Distelhorst asked the
maker of the motion whether the if intent was to research that and develop language around the RCW and
case law or to incorporate the language that was just stated. Councilmember Olson said she would leave
that to Mr. Passey, but even referencing the applicable RCW would be helpful. Mr. Passey said the rules
have many footnotes and references to existing statutes and governing laws. Something could be added to
the rules with a footnote to the RCW. Councilmember Distelhorst expressed support for that.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she thought the Council had agreed to take this up next week. She
did not want staff making amendments based on opinions; it needs to be done via amendment. She
recalled she was charged with creating a subcommittee and did not understand the point of discussing
who was on it. Mayor Nelson requested Councilmembers focus their discussion on the amendment.

10. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember L. Johnson said she wanted to take this opportunity to thank the entire City staff for
everything each of them have taken on during the pandemic and shut down to keep the City running and
to get the City where it is today after 16 months to meet fairly safety in person. She recognized the City
for the quick pivot from the traditional model to one that proactively prioritized public health and used
shift scheduling to reduce exposure and ensure that enough critical staff would be available to keep
essential functions up and running. She appreciated those whose positions required they remain working
in person to keep the City running which often meant they risked exposure for themselves and their
family so the City could remain safe and functioning. She appreciated those who made room at home to
telecommunicate which often meant hushing children, pets and sometimes partners who were home with
them 24/7. In addition to their City work, many had to juggle sudden, unexpected, increased
responsibilities like homeschooling, and increased diligence and attention necessary to protect the mental
and physical wellbeing of family members. Much of what they had to do to accommodate was unseen and
unrecognized and all too often they only heard complaints, but not appreciation. She wanted staff to know
they were very, very much appreciated.
Councilmember Olson thanked Councilmember L. Johnson for saying that on behalf of all
Councilmembers. She has been watching the national scene regarding COVID, specifically Los Angeles
who is returning to a mask mandate and Springfield, Illinois, who is overwhelmed by the highly
contagious Delta variant. For those who have been waiting to ensure the vaccines are safe, there has been
time to watch and see that they are. For those thinking that we are out of the woods and there is no need to
be vaccinated, she assured we are not out of the woods. She urged the public to consider getting
vaccinated now, tomorrow, this week, before it overwhelms the community like it has some areas. It is for
the protection of the young and otherwise vulnerable who cannot get vaccinated as well as for themselves,
to avoid another mask mandate, to keep schools and businesses open, and to protect the economy. She
thanked those who have already gotten vaccinated and those who still can and will for the community's
sake.
Councilmember Olson reported the patience and persistence of the volunteer environmental stewards is
paying off. Following a community meeting with WSDOT a couple weeks ago, permission has been
granted to start work parties to remove the invasive nightshade growth from the Edmonds and
Shellabarger Marsh along SR-104, growth that is responsible for sediment buildup that obstructs flow and
contributes to flooding in the Harbor Square area. This will be a highly labor intensive effort and the
community's help is actively sought. Volunteers can contact Joe Scordino at Joe.Scordino@Yahoo.com

for a volunteer application and work party schedule. She will personal be there and looked forward to
seeing others.
Councilmember Buckshnis said people can also email her and she will forward it to Mr. Scordino. This is
extremely exciting news and she cited numerous volunteer parties that have occurred in the past. WSDOT
has offered a backhoe to pull the fence out. She congratulated the Milwaukee Bucks for winning the
championship.
Council President Paine welcomed everyone back, commenting it was good to be back in person. She
pointed out there are different notices on the doors, one for the Council Chambers and another for the
Court. She encouraged the public to enjoy summer activities safely, from Sea Jazz at the Port to the
Uptown Market as well as the Arts Festival and many other activities. The variants are in the community
and she did not want to test the extent of protection provided by the vaccines. She echoed Councilmember
L. Johnson's thanks to City staff.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas explained she and others on the dais were wearing masks because a
Councilmember had been around unvaccinated people which she felt was a very dangerous position to be
in. The Health District is expecting a fifth wave to hit in October as a result of the Delta variant and they
and other organizations are considering who it will affect and the death rate. She encouraged everyone to
get vaccinated.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas reported Snohomish County is return to work in small, hybrid sections
and the County Council has not returned to the dais. The Health District is also returning to work in small
numbers, an important signal that people need to be vigilant in the coming months, particularly when
school starts and unvaccinated children will be in school with vaccinated children. She relayed a warning
from the Snohomish County Health District related to high levels of poisons in shellfish harvested off
Puget Sound due to water temperatures. She described symptoms that may last 2-3 days and start between
4 hours to 4 days after eating contaminated shellfish.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she was absent from last week's Council meeting and unable to
vote on Civic Park due to caring for a family member following surgery. If she had been present, she
would have voted yes on the Civic Park contracts. Her initial response regarding Civic Park was
intentional because she wanted to begin a discussion about fairness in different areas of Edmonds, but
City was way too far down the road with Civic Park to back up. There are 46 parks in Edmonds, 1 of
which is on the east side with a few parking spaces. She appreciated Councilmember L. Johnson's
statements last week regarding the differences between parks in east Edmonds and the Bowl. She received
a number of contacts from citizens, one saying residents in east Edmonds could visit parks in Mountlake
Terrace, Lynnwood and Shoreline and did not need parks in their neighborhood. A former
Councilmember said residents could drive to visit parks. She referred to Natalie Seitz' public comment
tonight, explaining she lives in an area that requires crossing seven lanes of traffic to reach a county park.
The Council believes in representing all of Edmonds, but needs to take steps to equalize what occurs in
east Edmonds and in the Bowl.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE AND SECONDED TO EXTEND TO
10:15 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Distelhorst thanked Councilmember L. Johnson for her comments regarding City staff.
He too appreciated all the work staff has done during the pandemic, for residents and to get Council back
in person. Case rates are on the rise, almost at the peak of initial lockdown in March 2020, taking into
account that over 60% of Snohomish County residents are vaccinated. He encouraged unvaccinated
individuals to get vaccinated; the United States is one of the few privileged countries in the world to have
vaccines readily available and there is no reason not to get vaccinated to take care of the community.

Councilmember Distelhorst thanked the Diversity Commission, Mayor Nelson and Mr. Doherty for
getting the new anti -hate, bias and discrimination portal up on the City's website. As the liaison to the
Diversity Commission, this issue was discussed multiple times by the commission and with community
members who did not feel they had a place to report instances that may not arise to a criminal nature. He
has discussed with the Diversity Commission and Mr. Doherty upgrades to ensure it is fully accessible
and that its availability is robustly communicated to the community. He remarked it was nice to see
everyone back in person.
Councilmember K. Johnson commented it was nice to be back in person and to see audience members
and staff in 3D. She encouraged the public to do their best to remain social distanced, get vaccinated and
to stay safe.
Student Representative Roberts recognized getting the Council back to in -person meetings was a big team
effort. Echoing Councilmember L. Johnson, he thanked City staff, healthcare workers and everyone who
adjusted and adapted. Although adjustments have been made, COVID is not over yet. He encouraged the
public to get vaccinated if they can if they haven't already and to make safe choices because he along
with many others want to be back in school in September.

Mayor Nelson agreed it was wonderful to be back in person with Council, staff and audience members.
He thanked staff for making it making it possible and relatively pain free. He agreed we are not out of the
woods yet regarding COVID. The data from late May/early June indicated Edmonds zip codes are in the
top 1-2 in Snohomish County for the highest vaccination rates, mid-70% and probably higher now. The
current rate is 108/100,000; when Washington reopened it was in the 60s but has been going up for the
last several weeks and is on track for a fifth wave. There are many citizens in Edmonds, Snohomish
County, Washington, the United States and the world who need to get vaccinated. The latest data
indicates 98% of the people hospitalized and dying of COVID are unvaccinated so clearly vaccinations
save lives. He urged the public to get vaccinated.

Staff Lead: Rob English
Department: Engineering
Preparer: Sydney Hall
Background/History
On July 13th, 2021, staff presented this item to the Parks and Public Works Committee and the
Committee placed the item on the consent agenda for approval.
Staff Recommendation
Award the Phase 2 Stormwater Replacement construction contract to Dungeness Construction in the
amount of $797,898 and authorize a management reserve of $119,685.
Narrative
This project is part of the City's program to replace and upgrade existing storm lines at various
locations around the City that are reaching the end of their useful service life, are undersized
and unable to meet current requirements, or has some other existing system deficiency. The
area of replacement was identified in the Drainage Report titled: 'Expanded Plan for
Conveyance Improvements in the North Shellabarger Subbasin', completed in 2015. Per the
report, this work will help mitigate stormwater flooding and conveyance issues within the
Shellabarger storm basin. The project will replace storm piping, and structures on Maple St
from 6th to 7th and the alley between Maple and Alder.
On June 17 and June 24, 2021 the project was advertised for construction bids. The bids ranged
from a low of $797,898 to a high of $1,403,383.21. The engineer's estimate was $851,200.00.
Dungeness Construction submitted the low responsive bid of $797,898. A review of the low
responsive bidder's record was completed and it was positive. Construction is expected to begin
in August and be completed by October of this year.
The project costs are being funded by the 422 Utility Funds.

Public Hearing on the Planning Board recommendation to approve an amendment to Chapter 17.75
ECDC, entitled "Outdoor Dining," and a related section in Chapter 17.70 ECDC
Staff Lead: Rob Chave
Department: Planning Division
Preparer: Rob Chave
Background/History
The City Council adopted Ordinance 4210 on December 15, 2020, as an interim zoning
ordinance. The Planning Board reviewed this issue at its February 10, 2021, meeting and held a public
hearing on March 24th. The Council previewed the issue on June 1, 2021.
Staff Recommendation
Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance for adoption on the next available consent agenda
Narrative
The City Council adopted Ordinance 4210 on December 15, 2020, as an interim zoning ordinance (see
Exhibit 1). The ordinance clarified conditions pertaining to outdoor dining and streamlined the process
for approving this type of use on a commercial property. The Planning Board reviewed this issue and
held a public hearing on March 24, 2021. The Board recommended making the interim provisions
regarding outdoor dining a permanent part of the code. The Planning Board's only change was a
technical edit, combining the related wording in 17.75.020 and 17.75.030 of Ordinance 4210 into a
single section. With this change, the combined wording would read as follows (the underlined words are
the relocated language from 17.75.030):
17.75.020 Outdoor dining - Secondary uses requiring permit.
Outdoor dining shall be a secondary use requiring a permit only if the use includes a component
subject to a building or fire permit. Components requiring a building or fire permit include, but
are not limited to, detached (free-standing) structures and structures attached to a building,
such as awnings, canopies, roofs, and pergolas. This use shall be established and maintained in
accordance with the terms of this chapter. Any building or structure such as a service stand,
fence, planter, kiosk, awning or other shelter utilized in serving outdoor diners shall fully comply
with all provisions of Title 19 building and fire codes.
The adopted Ordinance 4210 is included in Exhibit 1. The Planning Board's previous discussions and
recommendation are contained in Exhibit 2. The City Council's minutes are included in Exhibit 3.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, AMENDING CHAPTER 17.75 ECDC,
ENTITLED "OUTDOOR DINING," AND A RELATED
SECTION IN CHAPTER 17.70 ECDC, DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY NECESSITATING IMMEDIATE ADOPTION
AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS INTERIM ZONING
ORDINANCE.
WHREAS, COVID-19 has created significant impacts to people's health and well-being,
which includes not only immediate physical health, but economic health; and
WHEREAS, Washington's Governor has been proactive in trying to responsibly address
coronavirus issues and some of his actions have included orders to close or partially close
businesses where COVID-19 transmission has the most risk; and
WHEREAS, in Edmonds, food and beverage services, such as restaurants, have been
especially impacted by full and partial closures; and
WHEREAS, COVID-related restrictions on restaurants and similar businesses have limited
or prohibited indoor dining during much of the year; and
WHEREAS, even without a state order, many people that want to eat at a restaurant would
prefer to do so in an outdoor environment, rather than indoors, to be a safer environment from a
COVID-19 standpoint; and
WHEREAS, some dining and beverage establishments already have permitted bistro
dining for certain sidewalk areas per Chapter 17.70 ECDC or permitted outdoor dining on
commercial properties per Chapter 17.75 ECDC; and
WHEREAS, outdoor dining on commercial properties per Chapter 17.75 ECDC requires a
conditional use permit through a hearing examiner process that is more costly and time-consuming
to obtain than an ordinary administrative permit; and
WHEREAS, City staff have been working on potential code amendments to allow outdoor
dining on commercial properties without a conditional use permit; and
1
Packet Pg. 89
7.1.a
WEHEREAS, concepts for amending the code to allow outdoor dining without a
conditional use permit were presented in a November 12, 2020 meeting of the City Council's
Public Safety, Planning, and Personnel Committee and subsequently presented in a November 24,
2020 meeting of the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the concepts for amending the permit process for on -site outdoor dining have
been incorporated into a set of amendments to Chapter 17.75 of the Edmonds Community
Development Code; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 36.70A.390, this interim ordinance may be adopted on an
emergency basis without first holding a public hearing; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Chapter 17.75 of the Edmonds Community Development Code, entitled
"Outdoor Dining," is hereby amended to read as set forth in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto
and incorporated herein as if set forth in full (new text is shown in underline; deleted text is shown
in strike through).
Section 2. Section 17.70.010 of the Edmonds Community Development Code, entitled
"Other temporary buildings," is hereby amended to read as set forth below (new text is shown in
underline; deleted text is shown in s4tl£e thfough):
Except as provided in ECDC 17.70.030 and 17.75.010, a conditional
use permit shall be required to construct a temporary building in any
zone. The permit shall be administratively reviewed by staff and
shall be valid for a period of one year; provided, however, that said
permit may be extended by the development services director for a
single one-year extension upon submittal of a written application
prior to the expiration of the original permit. All the requirements of
the zoning district shall be met. An appeal of the staff decision
granting or denying such a permit or extension shall be reviewed by

Packet Pg. 90
7.1.a
the hearing examiner in accordance with the requirements for any
other conditional use permit under Chapter 20.06 ECDC.
Section 3. Sunset. This interim ordinance shall remain in effect for 180 days from the
effective date or until it is replaced with another ordinance adopting permanent regulations, after
which point it shall have no further effect.
Section 4. Emergency Declaration. The city council hereby declares that an emergency
exists necessitating that this ordinance take effect immediately upon passage by a majority vote
plus one of the whole membership of the council (RCW 35A.12.130), and that the same is not
subject to a referendum. Without an immediate adoption of this interim zoning ordinance,
restaurants would have to go through a much longer permit process before being able to offer
outdoor dining. Any delay in the ability of the city's restaurants to offer additional outdoor dining
could further jeopardize an already struggling restaurant industry. Therefore, this ordinance should
be imposed as an emergency measure to protect the public health, safety and welfare by staving
off restaurant failures and creating regulations so that Edmonds citizens will have safer places to
dine for the remainder of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Section 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, clause, sentence, or phrase of this
ordinance should be held invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of
the remaining portions of this ordinance.
Section 6. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and effect
immediately upon passage, as set forth in Section 4, as long as it is approved by a majority plus
one of the entire membership of the council, as required by RCW 35A.12.130. If it is not adopted
by a majority plus one of the entire membership of the council, then the language declaring an
emergency shall be disregarded, in which case, this ordinance, being an exercise of a power
specifically delegated to the City legislative body, is not subject to referendum and shall take effect
five (5) days after passage and publication of an approved summary thereof consisting of the title.

Board Member Cloutier questioned if the Board Members have a clear understanding of exactly which properties in the
downtown are zoned BD3. If not, then he cautioned against singling them out for the change. Chair Rosen said his motion to
amend was intended to draw a smaller circle around the proposal.
THE MOTION TO AMEND FAILED BY A UNANIMOUS VOTE.
THE MAIN MOTION WAS APPROVED BY A VOTE OF 4-2, WITH CHAIR ROSEN, VICE CHAIR CRANK, AND
BOARD MEMBERS CHEUNG AND CLOUTIER VOTING IN FAVOR AND BOARD MEMBERS MONROE AND
ROBLES VOTING IN OPPOSITION.
Mr. Chave advised that the Board's recommendation will be presented to the City Council for a public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING ON AN AMENDMENT TO EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE (ECDC)17.75,
ENTITLED "OUTDOOR DINING," AND A RELATED SECTION IN ECDC 17.70
Mr. Chave reviewed that the City Council adopted Interim Ordinance 4210 on December 15, 2020, partially in response to the
limitations placed on dining during the pandemic. For several months, outdoor dining was the only way to accommodate
patrons, other than take out. It was noticed that the City's codes pertaining to outdoor dining were extremely restrictive and
required a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), which could take two or three months to process. The ordinance clarified the
conditions pertaining to outdoor dining and streamlined the process for approving this type of use on a commercial property.
Specifically, it eliminated the CUP requirement entirely, but still required that outdoor dining located directly adjacent to
residentially -zoned properties must comply with the landscape requirements in the existing code or be screened by a building
and/or 4-foot wall, hedge or solid fence.
Mr. Chave advised that, previous to the interim ordinance, seating was limited to 10% of the existing interior seating or 12
seats, whichever was greater. This typically equated to just a few tables, and anything beyond that required a CUP. The interim
ordinance increased the seating capacity to 50% of the existing interior seating or 30 seats, whichever was greater. In addition,
a requirement was added that any dining area adjacent to vehicle parking had to be separated by landscaping, curb stops, wall
or other suitable barrier. Although the CUP requirement was eliminated, the interim ordinance clarifies that building and/or
fire permits would still be required for some elements associated with outdoor dining such as canopies, electric heaters, etc.
He concluded that the proposed amendment would make the interim ordinance permanent.
Chair Rosen opened the public hearing. As no one indicated a desire to provide testimony, Chair Rosen closed the public
portion of the hearing.
Mr. Chave recalled that, at the Board's last discussion on the proposed amendments, Board Member Pence suggested that some
of the provisions in the ordinance could be combined for greater clarity. He observed that ECDC 17.75.010 deals with the land
use standards, ECDC 17.75.020 talks about when a building or fire permit would be required, and ECDC 17.75.030 talks about
buildings and structures having to comply with the building and fire codes. Perhaps the latter two could be combined, but
ECDC 17.75.010 addresses something totally different. Again, he said the way the ordinance is currently constructed is fine,
but it might make sense to combine the last two sections. Vice Chair Crank said she would support combining ECDC 17.75.020
and ECDC 17.75.030.
BOARD MEMBER CLOUTIER MOVED THAT THE BOARD FORWARD THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO
ECDC 17.75, ENTITLED "OUTDOOR DINING," AND A RELATED SECTION IN ECDC 17.70 TO THE CITY
COUNCIL WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL AS PRESENTED IN THE STAFF REPORT AND
AMENDED TO COMBINE ECDC 17.75.020 AND ECDC 17.75.030. VICE CHAIR CRANK SECONDED THE
MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. (Note, Board Member Cheung was having technical difficulties and did
not vote)

REVIEW OF INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE (#4210) AMENDNG EDMONDS COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT CODE (ECDC) 17.75, ENTITLED "OUTDOOR DINING," AND A RELATED SECTION IN
ECDC 17.70
Mr. Chave reviewed that the City Council adopted Ordinance 4210 on December 15, 2020, as an interim ordinance. The
main affect was to change the Outdoor Dining Permit from what had been a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), which required a
hearing by the Hearing Examiner and a lengthy review process, to an Administrative Approval that could be done by staff.
Because Ordinance 4210 is an interim ordinance that expires after six months, the Board is being asked to review it and
provide a recommendation about whether it should be adopted for a longer period of time or permanently.
Chair Rosen asked Mr. Chave to articulate between the "Outdoor Dining" use that is the subject of the interim ordinance and
"Streeteries." Mr. Chave explained that a variety of activities are allowed within the rights -of -way, but streeteries are a new
type of use that came about during the pandemic. They are basically the temporary use of rights -of -way to help businesses
survive. Because streeteries are allowed in ECDC 18 (Engineering and Public Works Standards), they are not something the
Planning Board reviews or makes recommendations on. Ordinance 4210 relates to on -site outdoor dining, which typically
occurs as an extension or accessory to a restaurant in an enclosed building. Sometimes it takes the form of patio dining or
outdoor open decks.
Board Member Robles asked if Ordinance 4210 would apply to the temporary structures (tents, etc.) that have expanded into
parking spaces. Mr. Chave answered that the ordinance is not applicable to tents and other structures that are located within
the rights -of -way. However, it could allow outdoor dining to be located in on -site parking areas, as long as the parking
spaces are not part of a business's required parking.
Chair Rosen asked how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirement could potentially be impacted by outdoor
dining areas. Mr. Chave answered that the applicant would still have to comply with all of the building code requirements,
including making sure that access was ADA compliant.
Board Member Pence asked if there have been any applications for outdoor dining since Ordinance 4210 was passed in
December. Mr. Chave said he believes so, but he would need to ask the Building Official for this specific information.
Board Member Monroe referred to ECDC 17.75.010(2), and asked how the 4-foot wall, hedge or fence was arrived at. He
also asked how they arrived at the 50% or 30-seat limit. Mr. Chave said these requirements were part of the previous code
that had been in place for many years. The substantial change was not requiring a CUP for the use.
Board Member Pence observed that eliminating the CUP requirement from ECDC 17.75.020 would make ECDC 17.75.020
(Secondary Uses Requiring a Permit) functionally the same as ECDC 17.75.010 (Permitted Secondary Uses). If that is the
case, then ECDC 17.75.020 could be eliminated entirely. Mr. Chave agreed it might be possible to combine the two sections.
However, the language related to building and fire permits in ECDC 17.75.020 would need to be added to ECDC 17.75.010.
He commented that there has been some debate and uncertainty about when and how the building and fire permits apply.
Board Member Pence said he believes in having codes as neat and tidy and easy to follow as possible, and having two
separate sections that are functionally indistinguishable is not good bill drafting. He suggested that the permanent ordinance
combine the two sections in a way that accomplishes the intent. The remainder of the Board concurred.
Mr. Chave said the intent of the ordinance is to make it clear that outdoor dining must be the secondary rather than
predominant use of the property and that some buffering would be required. Chair Rosen referred to ECDC 17.75.010(A)(5),
which appears to be motivated by safety. If the intent is to separate vehicles from patrons, perhaps it should be spelled out
that the barrier must be suitable to protect the safety of the diner.
Mr. Chave advised that a public hearing on the ordinance is tentatively scheduled for March 24'.
CODE AMENDMENT TO BROADEN APPLICABILITY OF THE UNIT LOT SUBDIVISION PROCESS
Mr. Clugston explained that this application is a privately -initiated Development Code amendment. As a Type V application,
the Planning Board conducts a public hearing and makes a recommendation to the City Council. He explained that the

With regard to the issue of light, Councilmember Olson agreed that related to equity; it could arise anywhere
and was not exclusive to the bowl. Blocking light can be an issue for someone's garden. She strongly
favored incentives, agreeing they were complicated to figure out but that was the way to go. The
environment is important, and instead of spending money on enforcement and punishment, she preferred
to provide incentives for having the right tree in the right place. She felt the City could get better results
with incentives rather than punishments.
Mr. Lien said he did not assume the Council would complete this tonight; it was intended to provide some
guidance. The Council has provided clear direction on the Heritage Tree Program. The direction regarding
tree retention on private property not related to development seemed to be no permit but tracking for the
removal of a certain number of trees. He will come back to Council to discuss views and habitat corridors
in more depth so Council can provide clearer direction. Council agreed. Mr. Lien referenced comments
regarding light, noting some jurisdictions have regulations related to solar access..
Mayor Nelson declared a brief recess. He relayed Council President Paine and he conferred during the
recess and decided Item 8.5 would be postponed to a future meeting.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DISTELHORST,
TO EXTEND THE MEETING TO 10:15 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
4. PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO
CHAPTER 17.75 ECDC, ENTITLED "OUTDOOR DINING," AND A RELATED SECTION
IN CHAPTER 17.70 ECDC
Development Services Director Shane Hope advised this is not about outdoor dining on sidewalks or streets.
Planning Manager Rob Chave advised this is a Planning Board recommendation on an interim ordinance
Council adopted at the end of December related to outdoor dining. Although the ordinance was listed, it
was not included in packet. He displayed the one -page ordinance and explained on private property, dining
is allowed as an outdoor use. Until the interim ordinance, an additional 10% of the indoor seating was
allowed as outdoor seating or 12 seats whichever was greater and beyond those limits a Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) was required. He commented 10% of the interior seating or 12 seats was not very much and
especially during COVID, it came to the City's attention that restaurants needed more flexibility. A CUP
goes to the Hearing Examiner and costs thousands of dollars and takes up to three months for approval,
making any significant outdoor dining cost and time prohibitive for a typical restaurant/small business.
Mr. Chave explained the interim ordinance adopted by Council removed the requirement for a CUP,
clarified the need for a building permit for any structures, and for retaining any ADA accessible parking
spaces. The original code did not have a limitation on the amount of outdoor dining; the interim ordinance
had a limit up to 50% of the existing interior seating and up to 30 seats. The interim ordinance was more
generous than what was allowed without a permit, but not as open ended as the original code. The Planning
Board held a public hearing and recommended making the interim ordinance permanent. A public hearing
at City Council is scheduled on June 15t''
Councilmember Buckshnis asked how 30 seats versus 40 or 20 was decided when the original was 12. Mr.
Chave it was 12 or 10% of the indoor seating whichever was more. Thirty seats seemed like a reasonable
number, it could be lower or higher. The 50% was not a magic number but it clearly indicates that outdoor
dining was to be a secondary part of the overall operation, not the main part. Under the interim code, the
additional outdoor dining could be 50% of the interior or 30 seats. For example, a small takeout place with
just a kitchen and no interior seating could have 30 outdoor seats.

Councilmember Buckshnis said the Planning Board minutes did not indicate how 30 seats was determined.
She recalled the Planning Board asked about safety issues. Mr. Chave said there is a provision in the interim
ordinance that states any dining adjacent to vehicle parking shall be separated by landscaping, curb stop
wall or other suitable barrier. That was not in the original code and was added to the interim ordinance as
a safety feature.
5. RESOLUTION ADOPTING COUNCIL RULES OF PROCEDURE
This item was postponed to future meeting.
9. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas cautioned the Council not to throw things on the agenda for campaign
purposes. She was seeing campaigning occurring and did think that gave the citizens a fair shake if
Councilmembers were using Council meetings for campaigning.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas reported Memorial Day was wonderful. She went to the cemetery and
visited her parents, both of whom were WWII veterans, and her nephew, a Marine serving in the Middle
East. Memorial Day is very important for those whose family members served in the military. She was very
proud of her parents and her family for serving in the military particularly during WWII.
Councilmember Olson reported she was excited to be working toward having 4th of July events. It will be
a full press from the entire village to make it happen. She invite volunteers to reach out to the Chamber of
Commerce sooner rather than later. There will be a lot of volunteer slots to fill but people with backgrounds
directing traffic are particularly needed. She thanked the sponsors and large supporters, they are needed and
appreciated.
Councilmember Distelhorst reported on the nice event yesterday at the Edmonds Memorial Cemetery and
thanked staff, the local VFW and also the Cemetery Board for organizing it. He relayed gun violence is
preventable; there were some victories at the legislature this year, but there are many areas where a lot more
work can be done. This is a policy choice and he hoped it will continue to be a priority for Edmonds,
reducing preventable gun violence in the community.
Councilmember Distelhorst reported June 1" is the start of Pride Month. It was sad to see the discriminatory
bills from certain state legislatures, especially targeting trans youth, which is representative of how much
work still needs to be done in Washington and in other states to ensure LGBTQ+ communities have the
same civil rights, healthcare rights, and housing rights afforded everyone. He said we can celebrate and we
can do good work.
Council President Paine recognized the start of Pride Month. She recognized all the wonderful support she
has had from managers and directors in her professional life who have been LGTBQ and the generosity of
their support and interest in learning more about public administration. Memorial Day was a lot of fun and
she was appreciative of the event at the Edmonds Cemetery and all the volunteers.
Councilmember Buckshnis thanked Mayor Nelson for being at the end of the drive -through Memorial Day
event at the cemetery. She expressed appreciation to President Biden for honoring the victims of Black
Wall Street that marked 100 years yesterday, 100 years ago today Black Wall Street was devastated in
Tulsa, Oklahoma. She found it very heartwarming and a wonderful gesture that shows the President
recognition that things happened and the need to understand the equity aspect. She recognized the start of
Pride Month, recalling three years ago she was on a cruise ship on June l' along with Maureen Judge, a
fun time to be celebrating the joy of being a human being. She said everyone has right the right to do and
say and be happy.

Councilmember K. Johnson said she served on the Planning and Public Works Committee with former
Councilmember Tibbott. The committee talked about how to get sidewalks built and the truth was without
grants, they would not get built because there was no money. Staff indicated the problem was the need for
a consultant to design the project, go out to bid, etc. Staff suggested hiring a sidewalk crew, two people in
Public Works.
Council President Fraley-Monillas interrupted, stating this was out of order. The Council is supposed to
be debating the CFP/CIP, but this commentary is going nowhere. She asked City Clerk Scott Passey to
rule on this. Mr. Passey said if the discussion was not driving toward a yes or no vote on the CFP/CIP
ordinance, which may include amendments, debate and votes, it was probably out of order. Mayor Nelson
agreed.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said she did not want to shut down Councilmember K. Johnson and
suggested issues related to the CIP/CFP would be a good topic for a retreat in 2021. Tonight is not the
time to present an 8-9 page document regarding issues with the CFP/CIP. Mayor Nelson agreed.
Councilmember K. Johnson agreed and offered to work on that retreat item.

■ Brings festive atmosphere to community
■ Allows users to dine in public place, but still have fresh air and spacing
Two concepts for code updates to help address economic crisis
1. Streateries (parklets allowing dining/beverage service in designated vehicle parking space,
within ROW)
2. On -Site Outdoor Dining (allowing more opportunities —without CUP —for outdoor dining on
private property, not in ROW)
o Both concepts presented at:
■ City Council's Nov. 12 PSPP Committee meeting
■ City Council's Nov. 24 meeting
"Streateries" aka "Parklets" that are specifically for dining
o Streateries Concept —Highlights
■ Applicable citywide, adjacent to commercial uses where street parking spaces are
available
■ Subject to individual permits for up to one year with 6-month extensions possible
■ Dining on raised platforms, flush with sidewalk, to provide ADA accessibility
■ Maximum 2 parking spaces per use
■ Safety standards (e.g., fire & structural safety) to apply
■ Insurance and "hold harmless" agreements by applicants required
■ Some aesthetic guidelines included
■ Limitation on total number of streateries: 20
■ Must meet state & health district standards (incl for COVID protections)
■ Must have reflective lights for night-time
■ Applicants to pay cost of platforms, safety barriers, liability insurance, etc.
Note: City staff has also explored what other cities are doing for streateries
o Draft Ordinance for Streateries
■ Amends Chapter 18.70 (Street Use and Encroachment Permits)
■ Proposed as emergency ordinance
■ Timing fits with Council's intent to respond quickly to COVID impacts
■ If adopted as emergency, public hearing proposed for Feb. 2
■ Proposed to sunset on May 1, 2022 unless Council takes other action sooner
■ Sets specific standards, permit process, and inspections for streateries
■ Assures compliance with Governor orders, ADA, fire safety, & other requirements
On -Site Outdoor Dining
o On -Site Outdoor Dining Concept —Highlights
■ Allow under simple permit process, without going thru conditional use permit process
■ Allow on business property, such as on deck or patio or in parking lot
■ No requirement for additional parking spaces
■ May include canopy or awning
■ Ensure safety standards (e.g., for heaters) are met
■ Must have ADA access
■ Must meet building setback standards
o Draft Ordinance for On -Site Outdoor Dining
■ Amends Chapter 17.75 (Outdoor Dining)

■ Proposed as emergency interim ordinance
■ If adopted as emergency, would require public hearing, possibly February 2
■ Would be in effect for up to six months
■ While interim ordinance is in effect, Planning Board would review & propose to City
Council any longer -term ordinance
Recommended Next Steps
o Council to:
■ Adopt emergency ordinance for Streateries (with sunset date)
■ Adopt emergency interim ordinance for On -Site Outdoor Dining (with longer term
recommendation by Planning Board in early 2021)
■ Hold future public hearings as needed (circa Feb. 2)
o City staff to:
■ Finalize handouts and web information
■ Get word out to affected businesses
Mayor Nelson advised Council questions would be taken in a round robin format with Councilmembers
asking one question at a time.
With regard to enforcement, Councilmember Distelhorst assumed the City would do an inspection when a
restaurant applied for a permit and asked if someone who observed an inconsistency should contact the
City's code enforcement. Ms. Hope answered yes.
Councilmember Buckshnis relayed a question she had been asked whether a restaurant had to go to the
expense of constructing a platform if they had ADA compliant seating available on the sidewalks. Ms.
Hope said there was an exception in the ordinance for those situations.
Councilmember Paine asked if a restaurant with a sidewalk cafe on the sidewalk would also be allowed to
have a streatery in the right-of-way. Ms. Hope said based on past experience, there are a few businesses
that have both sidewalk dining and a streatery, but most do not. This ordinance would allow the first 20
applicants who meet the requirements to obtain a permit, regardless of whether they have sidewalk
dining. They would need to meet all the standards, but would not be penalized for having sidewalk
dining. Councilmember Paine observed a restaurant could have both, a sidewalk cafe and a streatery. Ms.
Hope agreed they could but would have to meet the 5 foot minimum span between so ADA access could
be accomplished.
With regard to enforcement, Councilmember L. Johnson asked what resources were available to assist
businesses with enforcing health district standards such as the COVID protections. People who see things
happening can report them to code enforcement, but what is the City doing to assist businesses who may
be put in uncomfortable situations if customers do not abide by the requirements. The streateries are a
new thing and there are disagreements about what should/should not be done to protect the public's
health. If the streateries were intended to help restaurants stay in business and weather the pandemic, she
asked whether it up to them to enforce the code or were there resources to assist with people who were
not compliant. Ms. Hope answered the City does not enforce capacity limits in stores or enforce the use of
masks, etc.; businesses are expected to deal with it. If there is a serious problem, the establishment can
call the police or someone else for help. Providing information to the public regarding the rules is helpful.
Mr. Doherty said during the late summer and fall when streateries were allowed via a special event
permit, he talked to restaurants with a streatery every week; a couple restaurant owners reported having
rowdy people or people trying to join tables, or other things that weren't allowed. The restaurant owners
viewed the ability to use the street as a privilege and were very conscientious and had asked people to
leave, etc. He assured they would be encouraged to observe the governor's statewide restrictions in this
space because ultimately it was a privilege.

Councilmember K. Johnson recalled many years ago noted planner named Brooks spoke regarding
community development in downtown Edmonds. He said if the City achieved a certain density, people
would think of Edmonds as a place to eat. That has basically happened, Edmonds has become a
destination and some of the City's codes were changed, including sidewalk seating. She did not want to
dismantle that because it had been very successful. The Council is now considering other things to help
restaurants and preserve the environment for the business community. However, if two parking spaces are
dedicated for pickup and two for a streatery, she felt that was too much and did not support other uses in
downtown Edmonds. She agreed with allowing sidewalk seating and off-street seating, but preferred to be
more conservative with regard to allowing dining in parking spaces. She suggested allowing either two
parking spaces for pickup or two parking spaces for a streatery, but not both. Ms. Hope said the parking
spaces for pickup are handled by the Public Works Department who likely would not allow parking
limitations too close to other things.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
OLSON, TO EXTEND TO 10:20 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Olson gave kudos to business owners, commenting so much has been thrown at them
with constant change and they have been resilient, flexible and adaptable. They are a special breed and
she was proud of them and encouraged them to keep up good work. Her biggest concern with what she
has seen with the streateries is ensuring the spirit of the law is upheld. It is not just about creating an
outdoor room with no ventilation, the point is for it to be healthier than eating inside. She hoped that was
implicit in the ordinance and that it was enforced because the purpose of allowing outdoor dining was
because it was safe. With regard to streateries being a privilege and the City bending over backward to
support restaurants, she pointed out with privilege come responsibility. She urged the business
community to find ways to help retailers next door, whether via a flyer attached to a takeout bag, tent
cards on tables, or word of mouth such as popcorn for sale at the movie theater, or having Glazed and
Amazed projects at a streatery during the day when it is not as busy. She thanked staff for their work on
this project.
Councilmember L. Johnson expressed concern about impacts on businesses, for example Glazed and
Amazed that has one parking space and streateries on either each side. She asked if Glazed and Amazed
could do the same thing, allow patrons to do art projects outside. Ms. Hope it is just for restaurant -type
businesses who are closed to indoor customers. If the governor's orders change, staff will come back to
Council to discuss options for other businesses.
Councilmember L. Johnson asked how the decision was made to have one parking space between
streateries and why two spaces were not required if a nearby business used the parking. Ms. Hope said
people seldom get to park directly in front of the business they are frequenting; they may need to park 1-2
blocks away. The idea was to ensure restaurants could serve customers adjacent to their space,
recognizing that people may have to walk a bit to reach other businesses. Councilmember L. Johnson said
the way the ordinance is written, no more than two streateries can abut each other. Ms. Hope said another
issue that came up is whether the parking spaces between streateries are too narrow so the ordinance
requires a one foot setback on each side of the available parking space to provide some additional space.
During the special event streateries, staff worked with restaurants to provide that and it worked well.
Councilmember L. Johnson commented the ordinance allows two abutting streateries and one parking
space between. In an area with nine parking spaces, there could technically be four streateries and only
one parking space. She was concerned with how that could impact other businesses. Ms. Hope agreed it
was a challenge, but there could only be a total of 20 streateries. Where it makes the most sense to have
streateries is in areas where restaurants are concentrated. It is a balancing act, restaurants tend to be

clustered together. To make it work, the streateries need to be close to the restaurants. Councilmember L.
Johnson wanted to ensure other businesses were kept in mind and it was not too difficult for them.
Councilmember K. Johnson said one issue that was discussed previously but was not addressed tonight
was the use of gas heaters and their impact on the environment. She asked what staff had learned. Ms.
Hope answered in general gas heaters will not be used due to fire protection concerns with the flames and
because few propane heaters are available. The preferred option will be electric heaters.
Councilmember Paine observed restaurants providing onsite dining did not need to restore parking spaces.
If on -street parking is constrained by streateries, she envisioned in 6-8 months there would be a lot of
congestion and not a lot of parking and the City would be in the same place it was in the summer of 2019.
She requested parking be monitored particularly when the weather gets warmer and people feel safer to
come outside. Ms. Hope assured there will be monitoring and adjustments made as needed. With regard
to the use of parking lots, it pertains mostly to businesses outside of the downtown area because few
downtown restaurants have onsite parking. There are restaurants in Five Corners or Highway 99 that have
more than enough parking and can allocate space for outdoor dining.

Councilmember K. Johnson said the City needed to be mindful of protecting businesses and there could
be a six month extension.
Council President Fraley-Monillas suggested if the Council really wanted to protect businesses, they
would not have streateries in the summer because that is when downtown businesses experience the
majority of the crowds. They have crowds around the holidays but only for a few days.
Councilmember K. Johnson said Council President Fraley-Monillas was not speaking to the motion.
Council President Fraley-Monillas did not support the motion because the issue was more than just
around the holidays. By supporting the motion, a Councilmember was agreeing that that was when
businesses did the majority of their business which she did not think was accurate.
Councilmember Distelhorst relayed his understanding that the interim ordinance was the second one, not
this one. Ms. Hope said the motion related to the ordinance for streateries is an emergency ordinance that
is effective for one year. A one year period would allow businesses some assurance that they could recoup
some of the costs associated with installing the necessary equipment.
Councilmember Olson said the question posted by Councilmember K. Johnson was very thoughtful and
she appreciated the reminder about the entire economic community. She trusted business owners would
look out for their neighbors and businesses would consider how to capitalize on the restaurants who were
granted the privilege of a streatery.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 07/27/2021
Public Hearing regarding private code amendment to ECDC Section 20.75.045.B, entitled Unit Lot
Subdivision - Applicability
Staff Lead: Mike Clugston, Planning
Department: Planning Division
Preparer: Michael Clugston
Background/History
This application (AMD2020-0003) was introduced to Council on May 4, 2021.
A private developer, represented by Citizen Design Collaborative, has proposed to add the Downtown
Business zones to the areas in Edmonds where the unit lot subdivision process can be used. Unit lot
subdivisions are currently only allowed in the General Commercial, Multiple Residential, and Westgate
Mixed Use zones. While this change would apply to all the Downtown Business (BD) subdistricts, the
developer would like to use the process at the site of his anticipated 14-unit townhome project at
614/616 5t" Avenue South. That project received design approval on May 19.
Staff Recommendation
Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance for approval on a future consent agenda.
Narrative
The unit lot subdivision (ULS) process was adopted in 2017 to provide opportunities for dividing fee
simple ownership of land to create townhouses, rowhouses and similar fee -owned dwelling units as an
alternative to both condominium ownership and traditional single-family detached subdivision. A ULS
does not permit uses or densities that are not otherwise allowed in the zoning district in which the
subdivision is proposed. Each project where a unit lot subdivision is used is first reviewed and approved
to verify compliance with all applicable building, fire, public works, and zoning codes. The ULS then
follows and inserts property lines between dwelling units, typically along shared walls and enclosing a
small private yard.
Because the requested code amendment is a Type V legislative decision, the Planning Board first
reviewed the change in accordance with ECDC 20.80.020.
When staff introduced the applicant's BD -zone proposal to the Planning Board on February 10, 2021, it
included an additional option for discussion. While the applicant's proposal would allow the unit lot
process to be used in one additional zone, it seemed reasonable to further broaden the applicability to
include any zone where multifamily residential is allowed on the ground floor. For example, ground
floor multifamily is also allowed in the Office -Residential and Firdale Village Mixed Use zones. Rather
than listing specific zones where the unit lot process may be used, it could be more efficient to broaden
the definition to include all zones where ground floor multifamily is allowed rather than wait for
Packet Pg. 108
7.2
additional code amendments that might arise in the future. The Planning Board moved both options to
public hearing but initially indicated a preference for the broader language.
At the public hearing on March 24, 2021, staff provided a map showing the existing zones where the ULS
process is allowed, the proposed zones where ULS would be allowed if the code amendment is adopted,
and the location of the five (5) unit lot projects that have received approval or are currently under
review. The Board took testimony and discussed both options but had some concerns about whether
there was a difference in the quality of construction between buildings built for condominiums versus
those built for unit lot subdivision. It was ultimately determined that buildings in both types of
ownership must meet adopted building codes and the Planning Board recommended the applicant's BD -
only amendment to Council.
Council Questions
1. Regarding owner -occupancy rules, could the 'live' or 'work' portion of the space be rented out by
the unit owner?
Staff response: How live/work units function is a separate question from whether ULS should be
allowed in the BD zones. The unit lot subdivision process, under the Edmonds city code, mainly
pertains to townhouse -type buildings in certain zones. It allows the townhouse units to be sold
individually in a simple manner without going through a condo process. (Condo processes are more
expensive and complicated than fee simple ownership.) Currently, in the downtown zone, the code
provides only two choices for townhouses: (1) Each unit can be individually sold through a condo
process; or (2) the full set of townhouse units can be held by one owner (or owner group) and the
units rented out individually. Regardless, all the regular zoning requirements apply to these units;
that includes all required setbacks and design standards, same as for any other property in the zone.
In the case at hand, the townhouse buildings are being designed as live/work units. The street level
would provide commercial space for each unit; a residential space would be above that. They would
look no different by being condos or fee -simple townhouses or rented units.
2. In cases like 614 and 616 5th Ave S, can a person buy multiple parcels and treat them as one larger
piece (with side setbacks on two sides than instead of the original 4 or 6)? Is this just as true with
other ownership models already in place?
Staff response: No. As with condos, a unit lot subdivision requires the creation of a Homeowner's
Association that manages Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions (CCRs) that are required to be
applied to the project. One person could own multiple units in a condo or multiple townhomes in a
ULS but they could not then redevelop those units to anything other than what is allowed in the
CCRs. Whether a condo or ULS, the HOA is responsible for maintenance of jointly -owned and
outward -facing elements on the site (i.e., landscaping and fencing, access and parking areas,
building facades, utilities) while individual owners are responsible for maintenance of their interior,
private spaces. In both cases, maintenance of jointly -held areas is funded by annual assessments on
the unit owners.
3. How many CCRs does the City review and do the homeowners have any input?
Staff response: Staff has reviewed CCRs for three unit -lot projects since the unit lot subdivision code
was adopted in 2017. Staff has not reviewed any of the CCRs for dozens of condo projects
Packet Pg. 109
7.2
throughout the City over the past few decades. The City Attorney would be better able to explain
the legal land use aspects but as we understand it, homeowners/buyers have no input on what CCRs
say - they are drawn up by the developer's real estate attorney to meet the requirements in the
Condominium Act in RCW 64.34. That appears to be the case whether the units are condos or unit
lots.
4. Without an HOA, who holds the reserves for repairs?
Staff response: If there was no HOA, a building owner (or owner group) would own the project and
be responsible for maintenance.

Mr. Williams asked for clarification regarding how to proceed. In response to the request to wait a week,
he asked if staff could wait a week for further input and then return for approval of the general concept for
all the sections.
Councilmember L. Johnson suggested putting it on the Consent Agenda in two weeks. Mr. Williams agreed
it could be scheduled on the Consent Agenda in two weeks and if anything needed to be brought to Council
in the meantime as a result of further input, that could be done.
Councilmember Buckshnis said some citizens wanted to know if there would be a public hearing; she did
not think a public hearing was needed and the public could contact staff. Citizens have told her that there
were significant changes between this and the original proposal. She asked how citizens would contact staff
or if staff preferred to schedule a public hearing. Mr. Williams did not see a need for a public hearing. The
last slide in the presentation includes a number of ways to contact staff including emailing Mr. Hague, Mr.
English, Mr. Hauss or him and citizens can include the Council if they wish.
Councilmember K. Johnson requested the feedback received tonight be incorporated and any questions be
answered because she did not want to see the same document on Consent. She recommended the team
digest the comments from the public and the feedback from the Council and make the appropriate
modifications. Mr. Williams acknowledged there were a lot of comments, but was uncertain any rose to the
level of Council direction.
Councilmember Olson suggested if the Council supported decreasing the size of the bulb outs on Bowdoin,
that would be a good change. Mr. Hague assured the bulb outs on Bowdoin would not be exceptionally
large.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented everybody has their own opinion and have been lobbied by
various people, groups and organizations. She suggested the team come back with a project based on
information and the background of employees and consultants. If some things can be added that make
Councilmembers feel better, fine and if not, she was fine with the proposal. She was concerned with telling
staff what they need to do when they are the professionals.
Councilmember K. Johnson recalled she raised three safety concerns in her neighborhood along Bowdoin 2
Way, 1) lighting, 2) proximity of parking to intersections where right turns occur, and 3) whether it would
be better to have parking on the south side of the street instead of the north because bicyclists will be going
faster downhill and may need more visual distance. She commented it was easier to stop if someone opens E
a car door on the uphill side than it is on the downhill side. She requested the team take a closer look at the
three safety concerns she has noticed while walking and riding a bike in the neighborhood. Mr. Williams
explained the north side is better for parking because Bowdoin is not all downhill westbound. The parking G
t�
study showed higher parking usage on the north side which is why it was proposed to be retained on that
side. Homes on the south take their access in different ways. Those three things added up to it made sense t�
to leave the parking on the north side. Staff can look at the lighting and provide a response as well as
consider the proximity of parking where right turns occur. Councilmember K. Johnson agreed there is an
uphill section from Five Corners on Bowdoin Way on the north side and the multi -family properties rely z
on Bowdoin Way for parking. Once the top of the hill is reached, it is primarily downhill the rest of the way w
to 9' Avenue. Due to bicyclists' speed, she requested the team reevaluate whether to have parking on the
south side.

Development Services Director Shane Hope explained the intent is not to decide anything tonight, but to
brief the Council on the basic idea. A public hearing will be held in the future as well as any other follow-
up meetings that are necessary.
Senior Planner Mike Clugston explained a private code amendment has been proposed to change where the
unit lot subdivision (ULS) process would be allowed. ULS are currently only allowed in the General
Commercial, Multiple Residential, and Westgate Mixed Use zones. This applicant would also like to allow
it in the Downtown Business (BD) zones, and specifically at the site of their proposed 14-unit townhome
project at 614/616 5th Avenue South, which is currently under review by the Architectural Design Board
(ADB). He displayed a map of existing subdivision zoning, General Commercial primarily along Highway
99, Multi -Family zones primarily along arterials such as 212th, 196' and Edmonds Way and an area
downtown. The applicant would like to use the process in the BD zones. When this application was
submitted, staff felt it reasonable to add two more zones where ground floor multi -residential is an option,
the Firdale Village Mixed Use Zone and a few parcels in the Office Residential (OR) zone on Sunset.
The ULS process was adopted in 2017 to provide opportunities for dividing fee simple ownership of land
to create townhouses, rowhouses and similar fee -owned dwelling units as an alternative to both
condominium ownership and traditional single-family detached subdivision. A ULS does not permit uses
or densities that are not otherwise allowed in the zoning district in which the subdivision is proposed. Each
project where a unit lot subdivision is used is first reviewed and approved to verify compliance with all
applicable building, fire, public works, and zoning codes. The ULS then follows and inserts property lines
between dwelling units, typically along shared walls and enclosing a small private yard.
Mr. Clugston identified five locations that have used the ULS process, one in a CG zone on 212' east of
the high school and four others in the multi -family zones (one in the bowl, two near the high school and
one in the south end of the City). There have not been any applications in the WMU; multi -family is allowed
on the ground floor in some subdistricts and some zones allow townhouse type development as proposed
at 614/616 5t" Ave S. The project at 614/615 5th Ave is currently under review by the ADB and could be
approved without allowing the ULS process by creating condominiums but they would prefer to use the
ULS process. The packet includes the current ULS code with brief markup in the applicability section that
would identify the BD zone as an additional zone to allow use of the ULS process.
Mr. Clugston relayed the Planning Board considered the BD, Firdale Village Mixed Use and OR zones and
initially supported broadening the applicability but in the end recommended the BD zones. The owner of
the site provided testimony last week during audience comments, but he was unsure if they were available
on tonight's meeting. Ms. Hope advised there would be an opportunity at the public hearing for the applicant
to speak to the code amendment they have applied for.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if the applicant was Pine Park 614, File Number PLN2020-0053. Mr.
Clugston answered that is the application for design review. This amendment is File Number AMD2020- t�
0003. Councilmember Buckshnis observed there is one applicant, but the intent is to expand use of ULS
into other zones. The applicant is only applying for 614 and 616 5th Avenue South. Mr. Clugston said that
is the applicant's design review project; the applicant would like to use it on their project at 614/616, but it z
apply throughout BD zones if approved. Ms. Hope reminded this type of zoning approach must be applied w
to an entire zone, not just one parcel. Councilmember Buckshnis commented unless it was a variance. Ms.
Hope said it would be difficult to qualify for a variance. The ULS process does not change the building, it
simply allows instead of a condo or rental units in one complex, it could be divided up for single ownership.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented the developer of this one parcel wants to expand the applicability a
to Firdale and all the BD zones. Mr. Clugston explained the applicant's request was for the BD zones.
During staff s review of their request, it seemed reasonable to extend it to other zones where ground floor

7.2.a
multifamily residential is allowed such as Firdale Village and OR. Ms. Hope pointed out the Planning Board
only recommended the BD zones.
Councilmember Buckshnis said with individual units rather than a condo, if a townhouse that used the ULS
provision, it must be sold as a ULS with a business on the first floor. Mr. Clugston agreed. Councilmember
Buckshnis said she has a lot of concerns, commenting she was unsure who has ever lived with the terrible
neighbor next door and there are so many things that can go on downtown and although downtown is great
now, she found it difficult to comprehend allowing ULS in all the BD zones. She said she would keep the
rest of her questions for the public hearing.
Councilmember Olson offered to provide her comments via email to Ms. Hope and Mr. Clugston so they
could be addressed during the public hearing.
Council President Paine said it sounds like the proposal is to add ULS to what can be allowed. Currently
there could be building with condominium or apartments on the ground floor, but this would require
commercial or office on the ground floor. These other ownership or rental properties are still allowed
through the BD zones, but for a ULS, the ground floor use would be different. Mr. Clugston explained a
commercial use is required on the ground floor in any event. Rather than an apartment or condo, this would
be a fee simple where someone could buy one unit; in this developer's project, they are proposing 14 units,
3 in each of 2 buildings facing 5t'' and another 8-unit building behind. For example, in the 3 unit buildings
on 5t'', each would be required to have commercial on the ground floor as part of a live/work unit and 2
levels of residential above. If the ULS process is approved, they could put property lines on those walls
between the units and the units could be purchased separately. That is all the ULS does. Without ULS they
could still create a condominium.
Councilmember K. Johnson relayed her understanding a fee simple arrangement provided vertical
ownership. What is different about this proposal is commercial on the ground floor. If it were a
condominium, the responsibility would be the developer's, but with a fee simple arrangement, each
individual townhome facing 5t' Avenue would become a commercial landlord and have to find renters, etc.
Mr. Clugston relayed the assumption by the developer is this live/work unit concept exists in other parts of
the country and they see some demand for it here. They are proposing those units in the project that is
undergoing design review and plan to build them regardless of whether they can do ULS. Without ULS,
they have indicated they will do condominiums. Assuming the units are design reviewed and approved and
they get building permits, they plan to construct them with the units facing 5t' each having ground level
commercial space as part of the live/work concept and owners will live above, essentially commuting
downstairs to the commercial use. The range of uses in the downtown area is vast; it could be a small shop,
an office, etc. The intent of the live/work concept is to have people live above their business.
Councilmember K. Johnson commented that would be a challenge in that area of 5t' Avenue because there
are no live/work units to the south and none between there and the fountain. This a new concept and she 0
wondered who would take the risk, whether it would be the developer or the homeowner. In the case of
Westgate, there are still vacant spaces because some uses cannot be accommodated such as restaurants
because of the fumes. She anticipated it would be a challenge to sell those units with the expectation z
someone living above will want to work downstairs or it will be the homeowner's responsibility to rent out w
the space. If it were a condominium, that would be the developer's responsibility, but with a ULS, it will
be the homeowner's responsibility. That issue was not discussed by the Planning Board and is a key
consideration.
Mr. Clugston pointed out that is the risk this developer is taking on with this project; selling live/work units a
whether they are owned through a condominium or ULS. The developer believes they can sell these units.
It is a unique setup for Edmonds, there are no other live/work units, but that is not to say it won't work.

Providing the ULS process would be one more tool they would have to create ownership of these rather
than a condominium ownership model. Councilmember K. Johnson recalled when the post office site was
developed, a couple units were live/work because there was access from the street but in fact no shops have
located there. Mr. Clugston agreed several units on the north end of the building were identified as live/work
but were not required to be live/work units. Ms. Hope advised staff will provide more information and there
will be opportunity for further discussion.
Councilmember Distelhorst requested staff not use red lines and shading on maps. He requested
Councilmember when talking about housing not to call these terrible things. There are ULS in the city;
those are residents and neighbors and fellow Councilmembers who live in multifamily ULS. They are not
terrible things, they are housing options where people live. He asked if there was a date planned for the
public hearing. Ms. Hope said staff will work with the Council President Paine on a date in the next month.

Councilmember Buckshnis questioned whether a motion was necessary. Ms. Hope said a motion is not

Councilmember Buckshnis asked whether the art non-profit building was live/work. Ms. Hope recalled
there was some discussion about that; she did not think it ever happened but offered to double check.
Councilmember Buckshnis observed Firdale Village has one owner and there was some type of Master Plan
done for Firdale Village in 2010. She asked if this would be an addition to the Firdale Master Plan. Ms.
Hope explained this would simply allow, if the owner chose to use ULS, to sell units separately; it does not
change the Master Plan.
Councilmember Buckshnis apologized to Councilmember Distelhorst, stating comments are comments and
she knew he did not like her vocabulary. The issue that many people have relayed to her is the fact that
condominiums are a lot different than ULS and that is something to be concerned about.
Council President Paine raised a point of order. Mayor Nelson requested Councilmembers refrain from
making personal remarks about other Councilmembers.

20.75.045 Unit lot subdivision.
A. Purpose. The unit lot subdivision process provides opportunities for dividing fee simple
ownership of land to create townhouses, rowhouses and similar fee -owned dwelling units as an
alternative to both condominium ownership and traditional single-family detached subdivision.
Unit lot subdivisions determine compliance with the relevant dimensional standards of ECDC
Title 16 by analyzing whether the parent lot complies, but not requiring that each newly
created lot within the unit lot subdivision (the unit lot) complies, with those dimensional
standards. A unit lot subdivision does not permit uses or densities that are not otherwise
allowed in the zoning district in which the unit lot subdivision is proposed.
B. Applicability. The provisions of this section apply exclusively to the subdivision of land for
single-family dwelling units, townhouses, and rowhouses and may be applied only in the
following zones: multiple residential, downtown business, general commercial, and Westgate
mixed -use. A single lot within a unit lot subdivision may contain multiple dwelling units when
the unit lot contains all such dwelling units within one building. Flats are permitted as an
element of a unit lot subdivision only when a single lot within a unit lot subdivision contains the
entire building in which flats are located.
C. Association with Site Development — Application Timing. In the case of a vacant lot or a
redevelopment site, a preliminary unit lot subdivision can only be submitted in conjunction
with or preceding a development site plan as required by Chapter 20.10, 20.11, or 20.12 ECDC,
or in the case described in ECDC 2O.1O.O2O(B)(3) submitted in conjunction with or preceding a
building permit. For existing developed sites, a preliminary unit lot subdivision application may
be submitted at any time. If the subdivision involves creating unit lot lines within common
walls, a building permit application is required in order to verify that the walls meet the
separation requirements in effect at the time of the subdivision application.
D. Conformance with Standards of the Parent Lot. The parent lot must comply with and is
vested to the applicable development standards (ECDC 2O.75.O3O(E)) in effect at the time a
complete application for preliminary unit lot subdivision is submitted. As a result of the unit lot
subdivision, the individual unit lots within the subdivision may be nonconforming with respect
to the bulk and dimensional standards required by ECDC Title 16.
As with dimensional standards, compliance with access standards, including but not limited to
fire lanes, drive aisles, turnarounds, and access of/to the parent lot from/to the street will be
evaluated based on the parent lot's compliance with such requirements, and not based on
whether individual unit lots meet such standards.
E. Future Additions and Modifications. Subsequent platting actions, additions or modifications
to the structure(s) may not create or increase any nonconformity of the parcel lot. Changes
requiring permitting that affect only the interior of building units will be evaluated for
compliance with the requirements only for that unit. Any exterior changes will be evaluated for
compliance by considering whether the parent lot would still comply with applicable
development standards. Any application for such external changes will require authorization of

PUBLIC HEARING ON CODE AMENDMENTS TO BROADEN APPLICABILITY OF THE UNIT LOT
SUBDIVISION PROCESS (FILE NUMBER AMD2020-0003)
Mr. Clugston advised that this is a code amendment request from a private applicant, Citizen Design Collaborative, who has
proposed a 14-unit townhome project at 614/615 5t1i Avenue S that is currently under review by the Architectural Design
Board. He explained that Unit Lot Subdivisions (ULS) are currently only allowed in the General Commercial (CG),
Multifamily Residential (RM), and Westgate Mixed -Use (WMU) zones. The applicant's proposed amendment would expand
Staff subsequently proposed an alternative amendment that would further broaden the applicability language to include any
zone where multifamily residential development is allowed on the ground floor. He pointed to the following attachments that
were included in the Staff Report:
• Attachment 1 — Cover letter from the request from the applicant, Citizen Design
• Attachment 2 — Draft code amendment
• Attachment 3 — Minutes from the Planning Board's February 10, 2021 meeting
• Attachment 4 — A Map of ULS applicability in Edmonds
Mr. Clugston reviewed that the ULS process was adopted in 2017 to provide opportunities to divide fee -simple ownership of
land to create townhouses, rowhouses and similar fee -owned dwelling units as an alternative to both condominium ownership
and traditional single-family detached subdivisions. At that time, it was felt that the ULS process would apply best to the
CG, RM and WMU zones. When the proposed amendment came in, staff agreed that the ULS process could work well in the
BD zones, and felt it could be further broadened to include the Office Residential (OR) and Firdale Village Mixed Use
(FVMU) zones. He recalled that staff discussed both options with the Planning Board at their February 101 meeting, and the
Board determined it would be appropriate to move the broader language to a public hearing.
Mr. Clugston said that, as he prepared for the hearing, he noticed that some additional clarity was needed. As a result, he
proposed the following small change to the language the Board considered at the last meeting.
• ECDC 20.75.045(B) — Applicability. The first sentence would be changed to read, "The provisions of this section
apply exclusively to the subdivision of land for single-family dwelling units, townhomes, and rowhouses in any zone
where ground floor dwelling units or live/work units are allowed. " Live/work units are considered a residential
building type according to the Building Code, and the change makes the language more specific as to where a ULS
could occur.
Mr. Clugston referred to the map (Attachment 4) showing the zones where ULS is currently allowed, the proposed zones
where ULS would be allowed if the code amendment is adopted, and the location of the five ULS projects that have received
approval or are currently under review. He summarized that the amendment would encompass the BD zones, as well as a
few parcels in the OR and FVMU zones. He said staff believes the proposed amendment would create the ability for some
interesting new projects in those areas. He reminded them that all projects would require design and building permit review
before a ULS could be applied over top of them, and a ULS would not change density or allowed uses. It is simply a way to
create fee -simple lots that have townhouse -type units on them.
Chair Rosen opened the public hearing.
Craig Pontius, Citizen Design Collaborative, said Mr. Clugston did a great job presenting the proposed amendment. He
said the intent of the amendment is to provide an alternate means of ownership for project types that are already permitted
under the code. Presently, the ECDC allows the construction of live/work units and townhomes in the BD zones, but they
cannot be subdivided and sold fee simple. This requires them to be condominiumized instead. The intent is to provide some
flexibility to property owners in the zone in terms of how the ownership structure of a given project will be put together.
Dr. John Hogue, Edmonds, said he is a member of the City's Economic Development Commission (EDC), and serves on
the EDC's Neighborhood District Subcommittee, of which Firdale Village is one. However, he was present to speak only as
a private citizen. He said he is opposed to expanding the ULS provision to the BD, OR and FVMU zones, as he felt it would
further erode existing commercial space set aside for businesses and stifle job creation and business recruitment for the City.
If the City truly wants live/work in Edmonds, he suggested they stop prioritizing housing at the expense of commercial space.
Planning Board Minutes
March 24, 2021 Page 2
Packet Pg. 118
7.2.d
He recalled that, at the last Planning Board meeting, Mr. Clugston stated that ULS has worked very well in the Westgate
Mixed Use (WMU) zone. However, this is highly debatable, as two commercial spaces are still vacant two years after
Westgate Village opened. The housing above restricts the types of businesses that can use the commercial space. Because
the housing is maximized, the footprint of the ground floor commercial space is minimized, and the commercial spaces at
Westgate Village are small. The lack of tenants is not due to the pandemic; it is due to incentivizing housing. He expressed
his opinion that the WMU zoning has not worked well at all, and he is afraid the same situation will play out in the BD and
FVMU zones if they start to incentivize housing de facto by making it easier to do a ULS.
Michelle Douch, Edmonds, said she has followed this process, along with the Housing Commission's work on the Housing
Action Plan. She recalled that, as originally proposed, the amendment would only apply to the BD-3 zone. She only recently
learned that it has been expanded to include the entire BD zone, as well as the OR and other zones where ground floor
multifamily residential is allowed. She is concerned that the proposal would change the zoning in multiple areas of the City
under the cover of a single project. She feels that transparency is lacking for the community to know this is happening. The
intent of the Housing Strategy is to create neighborhood village plans, transitional zones, etc. that allow for this type of
development, which means there will be other smaller areas in the City that would be allowed to have tract townhome
development. Because the proposed amendment would be applied to a much greater area of the City, she suggested that the
process be slowed down to allow for greater public involvement. They should consider its impacts beyond just this one
project.
Mr. Pontius clarified that the proposed amendment is intended to modify an ownership model rather than allowable uses.
Regulations related to parking, design, etc. would remain unchanged. The amendment is intended to address how the
property is owned post construction, and the City would retain its ability to limit uses in a given zone, require design review,
etc. The ULS would occur after all of the permits have been reviewed and approved, rather than something that is done to
establish properties in order for entitlement to take place later. Again, he said anything that is constructed would have to be
compliant with the current code, but it could be divided and sold off.
As no one else indicated a desire to testify, Chair Rosen closed the public portion of the meeting.
Board Member Cloutier observed that a lot of the public concern appears to be that the number of residential units allowed to
be developed would increase if the amendment is approved. However, based on the Board's discussion at the last meeting,
the density would not change. The number of residential units allowed would not change. The only thing that would change
is the manner in which ownership of the units is handled. Mr. Clugston agreed that is correct. Board Member Cloutier
summarized that, if approved, the amendment would not make more units available for residential use than is allowed under
the current code. Mr. Clugston again agreed that is correct.
Board Member Robles said he understands that condominium development is required to pass certain standards in terms of
building envelope, ceilings, windows, etc. He asked if the ULS process would enable developers to skirt these standards or if
the standard of build would be the same. Mr. Clugston said he is not familiar with specific condominium requirements, but
the Building Division will review all projects to make sure they comply with the applicable building requirements. While he
is not an expert on these requirements, it is likely the International Residential Building Code would apply.
Again, Board Member Robles observed that the requirements to build a condo include some stringent building standards, and
that adds cost to construction. There is also some associated construction liability. He asked if these requirements would be
equally applicable to ULS ownership as they are to condominium ownership. Mr. Chave said his understanding is that the
multifamily building code standards are applicable to all multifamily development, regardless of ownership. However, he
acknowledged that there may be some differences as far as insurance rates, liability, etc.
Board Member Monroe asked what problem the proposed amendment is trying to fix. He also questioned if the amendment
would allow developers to skirt quality standards. He voiced concern that the Board doesn't have enough information, at this
time, to consider the full consequences of the amendment. Mr. Chave said the only difference would be that of ownership. It
would be a choice of whether a person wants to own the entire unit separately (fee simple) or be part of a larger condominium
organization. Board Member Monroe commented that there are liability requirements that protect condominium owners that
would not be required for ULS. He asked if that would have an effect on the quality of construction. Mr. Chave explained
that a condominium association would have certain rules for how they operate, and a single owner would operate differently.
Planning Board Minutes

Packet Pg. 119
7.2.d
In terms of liability, there might be differences in insurance, whether it is joint insurance for the entire building versus an
individual unit, but this would not impact the building standards that apply. He concluded that only the Building Official
could provide a definitive answer to address this concern.
Chair Rosen suggested the Board could delay its recommendation until the Building Official could answer the Board's
questions and concerns, or they could make a recommendation now that is contingent upon the Building Official's response.
Board Member Monroe asked why the condominium model has largely failed in Edmonds. If the answer is tied to liability or
quality, he felt the Board should explore the issue further before making a recommendation. Mr. Chave responded that
staff s understanding is that the proponents would prefer to do a ULS. If that doesn't work, they will simply go ahead with a
condominium. Board Member Monroe asked how many condominiums have been constructed in the City over the past 15
years, as his understanding is that condominium development in the State of Washington has been arrested due to liability
and quality issues. Mr. Chave said there were particular issues in the 1990s with how certain materials were being used or
applied and that is where the issues of liability lawsuits and bank reluctance came into play. A lot of condominiums were
being built using this cheap and easy method of construction, but these problems have largely been solved over the
intervening years. But again, he said he isn't an expert in this field. He suggested the Board ask the applicant to respond to
why he is interested in doing a ULS as opposed to a condominium.
Mr. Pontius said he can't speak to this issue directly. The decision was made by the developer, and he was directed to pursue
the option. His somewhat limited understanding is that, from the developer's perspective, the target market prefers the fee -
simple ownership model to the condominium -association model. Board Member Monroe asked how many condominiums
the developer has constructed in the State of Washington over the past 15 years. Mr. Pontius said he has only been in the
profession for the past 7 years, so he hasn't done very many. He said he could follow up with his colleagues to see how
common they are. His firm typically does apartment buildings that are sometimes condominiumized and sometimes held for
rental. This decision is made by the owner later in the process. However, their townhouse developments are usually ULS
rather than condominiumized.
Vice Chair Crank said she would prefer to delay the Board's recommendation, as she feels that some subject matter expertise
is missing in order for her to make a definitive recommendation. On a larger scale, she said she is feeling quite
uncomfortable making a recommendation for the whole when the amendment was submitted to address one particular
project. She doesn't want to make a blanket recommendation based on one particular project only to find out later that it isn't
appropriate for some areas.
Board Member Cloutier voiced concern that these questions were not raised at the last meeting, and Board Member Robles
answered that they were. Board Member Cloutier said he did a quick search and there are no different rules for construction
of condominiums. A condominium is a method of ownership of an apartment, townhouse or other building envelope. The
building envelope and how it is subdivided is what determines the rules for construction in the code. Condominium
associations can establish their own rules, but that is not the Board's concern. The Board's concern is about the use of land.
In this proposal, the use of land would not change in any way except how it is owned. He questioned how changes in how
the land is owned would impact the community.
Board Member Robles observed that there is a litany of requirements associated with converting apartments to
condominiums, including the air tightness, insulation, window quality, door quality, water vapor penetration through the skin
of the building, sealants, etc. It is barely feasible, particularly since the new condominium laws were enacted in 2015 to
protect the owners. The Planning Board's mandate is to do what is in the best interest of the citizens. The laws are there for a
reason, and he isn't entirely sure they have fleshed out the cost and benefit to society in having this one project influence
other future projects. While he is not recommending denial at this time, the Board needs some definitive answers to address
the concerns.
Mr. Chave said the Board could recommend approval of the amendment for must the BD zones, consistent with the
applicant's original request. The only reason staff suggested the larger applicability was the desire to avoid piecemeal
changes over time. He commented that converting rental units to condominiums is an entirely different issue because it
involves a single property owner dividing the building into individual ownerships. With ULS and condominiums situations,
there are separate owners for each unit and the building standards do not vary. When converting an older rental building, the
Planning Board Minutes

Building Official will look much more carefully at how the building complies with the current building codes. With new
construction, developers would have a choice as to the type of ownership they are building for, but the constructions
standards would remain the same.
Board Member Cheung observed that the proposed amendment would not prohibit condominium development. It would
simply open it up to allow townhome development, too. Mr. Clugston said it would allow both fee -simple and condominium
ownership. Board Member Cheung questioned the Board's interest in deciding whether one ownership option is better than
another. He said he doesn't know how allowing only condominium ownership would benefit the City. Unless he hears that
the City has a special interest in only allowing condominiums, he is ready to forward a recommendation to the City Council.
Board Member Robles said his concerns are related to building standards. If he was assured that the building standards
would be the same for either condominiums or ULS, he would support the proposed amendment. Board Member Cheung
noted that staff has indicated that the only change would be related to ownership and all other building standards would apply
in either case. Board Member Robles said he wants to make sure that is, in fact, the case. He wants assurance that the
proposed amendment would not open the door for a developer to build a lower -quality project than what would be required
for a condominium development.
Board Member Monroe didn't disagree with the comments provided by Board Members Cloutier and Cheung. However, he
felt it would be entirely appropriate for the Board Members to consider the potential consequences. They should
acknowledge that condominiums are more difficult to build because they come with strings attached and developers can be
held responsible for poor quality. These same requirements would not apply to ULS projects. The amendment would make
ULS projects easier to build, and they could presumably have worse quality. Even if the quality were the same, there would
be no recompense to sue the developer once they are done.
Vice Chair Crank said she is hesitant to make a blanket recommendation based on one particular project. She would feel
better about making a recommendation now if the Board had the ability to come to consensus on the original amendment that
would apply only in the BD3 zone.
Chair Rosen reviewed the Board's potential options as follows:
• Continue the hearing to a future date and request more information from staff.
• Make a recommendation on the original amendment proposal, which would only apply to the BD3 zone.
• Make a recommendation on the broader amendment, as presented in the Staff Report.
• Make a recommendation on either the broader amendment or the original amendment, but make it conditional
Board Member Cloutier referred to Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 64.55 (Multifamily Construction Defect Claims),
which applies equally to condominiums, apartments, etc., and simply address how a building is constructed. Again, he said
there are no separate laws that only apply to condominiums. In a transfer of ownership, the code name is condominium and
the exact same building requirements apply. He said he doesn't see any reason to object to the proposed amendment or
postpone a recommendation. He suggested that the Board consider two recommendations. First, they could make a
recommendation on the applicant's original proposal, which would only apply to the BD3 zone. Second, the Board could
make a recommendation on whether or not the proposed amendment should be applied more broadly, as recommended by
staff.
BOARD MEMBER CLOUTIER MOVED THAT THE BOARD TAKE ACTION ON THE APPLICANT'S
ORIGINAL PROPOSAL FIRST, AND THEN CONSIDER ITS BROADER APPLICATION TO OTHER ZONES IN
THE CITY AS A SEPARATE DISCUSSION. VICE CHAIR CRANK SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Clugston clarified that the applicant's original proposal was to apply the ULS process in all of the BD zones throughout
the downtown area. It was not specific to the applicant's property or even just the BD3 zone. Staff s proposal was to expand
the amendment to also apply to the OR and FVMU zones.
Planning Board Minutes

7.2.d
VICE CHAIR CRANK MOVED THAT THE BOARD RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE APPLICANT'S
ORIGINAL PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO APPLY THE UNIT LOT SUBDIVISION PROCESS IN ALL OF THE
BD ZONING DISTRICTS. BOARD MEMBER CHEUNG SECONDED THE MOTION.
Board Member Robles asked why the applicant's proposal was so broad to include all of the BD zones. Mr. Clugston said
the applicant requested to change the applicability of the ULS process to add the BD zones. It was not specific to the BD3
zone. Again, staff suggested that the amendment be expanded to include the OR and FVMU zones.
Board Member Monroe said he has environmental concerns regarding the proposed amendment, as well as how it might
impact the City's housing strategy. He is also concerned about the points raised by Dr. Hogue about its potential impact to
commercial development. The Board has an opportunity to postpone its recommendation to allow more time to get it right.
Board Member Cloutier again asked how the amendment would change the density allowed, the number of units or housing
availability. The only change would be to ownership. The issue to be addressed in the housing strategy is having units that
are affordable, and the amendment would not have any impact. He suggested that the Board Members should have raised all
of these issues and requested additional information at their earlier discussion in February. It is not acceptable to raise these
concerns late in the process because it appears to be throwing up roadblocks as an excuse not to get things done.
Once again, Mr. Clugston referred to the map (Attachment 4) and pointed out that the ULS process can be applied in all of
the red areas, which is a mixture of RM zones primarily along 212t' Street SW, 76r' Avenue W, 196t1i Street SW and
Edmonds Way, as well as the WMU zone in the Westgate area and the CG zones along Highway 99. There haven't been any
ULS projects in that WMU zone yet, but there have been some in the RM and CG zones throughout the City. The applicant's
request is to add the BD zones, and staff added three parcels zoned OR and the FVMU zone. He concluded that the process
is already used in a number of locations, and it is just one more option in the toolbox that developers have.
Board Member Robles asked why the amendment was not initiated by staff or the Housing Commission. If it is such a great
underlying strategy for the City, it should come from the City staff rather than from a developer. He cautioned that it isn't
possible to understand all of the condominium laws based on one Google search. There is more to it than that. Again, he
asked why staff didn't propose the amendment. Mr. Clugston said the original application of the ULS process came through
a private -developer request in 2016-17, and the Board reviewed and recommended approval of the request to apply the ULS
process in the CG, WMU and RM zones. While staff could have proposed an amendment to apply the ULS to additional
zones, it wasn't on their radar until it was brought up by a private developer to address his project in the BD3 zone. In both
cases, the ULS amendments were proposed by developers. Mr. Chave added that it is also a question of timing. Staff has a
lot of code amendment issues on their plate, and it hadn't occurred to them to propose the change. The developer felt it was
important enough for their project to submit a development code amendment.
Board Member Robles said he supports approving the change for just the project area, but the Board needs to have a broader
discussion, as well as more information, before it can be applied to other zones in the City.
Board Member Cheung commented that the fact that staff recommended a broader application of the amendment leads him to
believe that they think it is a good thing that will allow developers more options. Board Member Monroe asked if staff s
intent is to encourage more development in the BD, OR and FVMU zones. Mr. Chave disagreed that the proposed
amendment would encourage more development. From staff s perspective, it would provide more housing ownership
options, which is a good thing. Staff doesn't believe the only choice for multifamily housing should be apartments or
condominiums. It makes sense to allow developers to sell individual units, and it is actually quite common for the townhouse
model where units are set up on individual lots. That is basically what the applicant is proposing. In the applicant's case, it
would also allow live/work units where the ground floor space is commercial, with residential above. However, each unit
would still be owned separately.
Chair Rosen recognized that the City is currently undertaking a larger discussion about housing, and the proposed
amendment could have potential impacts on that strategy, as well as how the public is engaged in the discussion.
CHAIR ROSEN MOVED THAT THE MOTION BE AMENDED TO APPLY TO THE PROJECT AREA ONLY.

Mr. Chave cautioned that the Board could recommend approval of the amendment for the BD3 zone only, but it cannot
recommend changing the zoning for an individual property when talking about the overall zoning code.
CHAIR ROSEN MOVED THAT THE MOTION BE AMENDED TO APPLY ONLY TO THE BD3 ZONE
SPECIFICALLY. BOARD MEMBER CHEUNG SECONDED THE AMENDMENT.
Board Member Cloutier questioned if the Board Members have a clear understanding of exactly which properties in the
downtown are zoned BD3. If not, then he cautioned against singling them out for the change. Chair Rosen said his motion to
amend was intended to draw a smaller circle around the proposal.
THE MOTION TO AMEND FAILED BY A UNANIMOUS VOTE.
THE MAIN MOTION WAS APPROVED BY A VOTE OF 4-2, WITH CHAIR ROSEN, VICE CHAIR CRANK,
AND BOARD MEMBERS CHEUNG AND CLOUTIER VOTING IN FAVOR AND BOARD MEMBERS MONROE
AND ROBLES VOTING IN OPPOSITION.
Mr. Chave advised that the Board's recommendation will be presented to the City Council for a public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING ON AN AMENDMENT TO EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE (ECDC)
17.75, ENTITLED "OUTDOOR DINING," AND A RELATED SECTION IN ECDC 17.70
Mr. Chave reviewed that the City Council adopted Interim Ordinance 4210 on December 15, 2020, partially in response to
the limitations placed on dining during the pandemic. For several months, outdoor dining was the only way to accommodate
patrons, other than take out. It was noticed that the City's codes pertaining to outdoor dining were extremely restrictive and
required a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), which could take two or three months to process. The ordinance clarified the
conditions pertaining to outdoor dining and streamlined the process for approving this type of use on a commercial property.
Specifically, it eliminated the CUP requirement entirely, but still required that outdoor dining located directly adjacent to
residentially -zoned properties must comply with the landscape requirements in the existing code or be screened by a building
and/or 4-foot wall, hedge or solid fence.
Mr. Chave advised that, previous to the interim ordinance, seating was limited to 10% of the existing interior seating or 12
seats, whichever was greater. This typically equated to just a few tables, and anything beyond that required a CUP. The
interim ordinance increased the seating capacity to 50% of the existing interior seating or 30 seats, whichever was greater. In
addition, a requirement was added that any dining area adjacent to vehicle parking had to be separated by landscaping, curb
stops, wall or other suitable barrier. Although the CUP requirement was eliminated, the interim ordinance clarifies that
building and/or fire permits would still be required for some elements associated with outdoor dining such as canopies,
electric heaters, etc. He concluded that the proposed amendment would make the interim ordinance permanent.
Chair Rosen opened the public hearing. As no one indicated a desire to provide testimony, Chair Rosen closed the public
portion of the hearing.
Mr. Chave recalled that, at the Board's last discussion on the proposed amendments, Board Member Pence suggested that
some of the provisions in the ordinance could be combined for greater clarity. He observed that ECDC 17.75.010 deals with
the land use standards, ECDC 17.75.020 talks about when a building or fire permit would be required, and ECDC 17.75.030
talks about buildings and structures having to comply with the building and fire codes. Perhaps the latter two could be
combined, but ECDC 17.75.010 addresses something totally different. Again, he said the way the ordinance is currently
constructed is fine, but it might make sense to combine the last two sections. Vice Chair Crank said she would support
combining ECDC 17.75.020 and ECDC 17.75.030.
BOARD MEMBER CLOUTIER MOVED THAT THE BOARD FORWARD THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO
ECDC 17.75, ENTITLED "OUTDOOR DINING," AND A RELATED SECTION IN ECDC 17.70 TO THE CITY
COUNCIL WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL AS PRESENTED IN THE STAFF REPORT AND

April 22, 2021
Edmonds City Council
Mike Clugston, Senior Planner
Are there differences in construction between condominium -
owned buildings and fee -simple -owned buildings like those
constructed as part of unit lot subdivision projects?
This question came up at the March 24, 2021 Planning Board public hearing on the unit lot
subdivision applicability amendment. Some Board members were concerned that
condominium projects would be held to a higher building code standard than a fee -simple unit
lot subdivision project.
The City's Building Official, Leif Bjorback, confirmed that all multifamily development projects,
whether ultimately rented or owned as a condominium or fee -simple, are reviewed against
either the International Building (IBC) Code or the International Residential Code (IRC). There is
a difference in which code applies, however. Party walls for condominiums are constructed to
the standards of the IBC while fee -simple party walls like for unit lot projects are typically built
to IRC standards, which are more robust than those under the IBC.

DESIGNING INSPIRED SPACE
PROJECT Unit Lot Subdivisions in BD Zones Code Amendment
TO CREATE COMMUNITY
SUMMARY
Citizen Design appreciates the opportunity to propose this code text amendment to
the Edmonds Community Development Code [ECDCL We believe that the proposal
is consistent with the applicable portions of the 2017 Comprehensive Plan and will
be in the best interest of the City and its residents.
Specifically, the proposal would amend ECDC Section 20.75.045.B to add the
Downtown Business [BDl zones in the list of zones in which unit lot subdivisions
[ULS1 are allowed. Thiswould a[low zero- lot -line development, such as townhouses,
to be subdivided for sale. Under present code, such developments must be held in
common, condomiumized or permitted as Planned Residential Developments.
If adopted, it is anticipated that the proposed amendment would encourage
townhouse development due to the relative ease of selling unit lots versus
condominium units. Such development could only take place in zones where it is
currently allowed as the proposed amendment is limited to ULS applicability.
We trust that this narrative and the attached supporting documents provide
sufficient information to review the proposed amendment. If any questions arise,
please feel free to contact our office.
Humbly Submitted,
Citizen Design
CRITERION 1: CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The proposed amendment affects properties with several Comprehensive Plan
designations. These include Retail Core, Arts Center Corridor, Downtown Mixed
Commercial, Downtown Convenience and Downtown Mixed Residential. All of
them are located within the Downtown/Waterfront Activity Center overlay per the
2017 Comprehensive Plan Map.
The 2017 Comprehensive Plan lists several framework goals for Activity Centers.
These include pedestrian orientation, mixed uses, community character, and
providing balanced redevelopment. [2017 Comprehensive Plan, pp. 43-441 More
specifically, the Plan's Goa lA.6 states that the City's objective is to Ipjrovide greater

residential opportunities and personal services within the downtown, especially to
accommodate the needs of a changing population." [Ibid., p. 461 Similarly, Goal EA
specifically calls for "...a mix of uses downtown which includes a variety of housing,
commercial and cultural activities." [Ibid., p. 481 In addition to the Activity Centers
goals discussed above, the Land Use Element includes several goals specific to
residential development. Residential Goal B states, "A broad range of housing
types and densities should be encouraged in order that a choice of housing will
be available to all Edmonds residents..." [Ibid., p 671 The proposal supports this
call for a variety of housing types by allowing townhouse -style construction to be
subdivided for sale, thus encouraging townhouse development. When combined
with the apartment and single-family residential typologies already present, this
contributes to the variety of options available to residents.
It is to be noted that the proposed amendment affects only the use of the ULS
process. All proposed developments will also need to comply with applicable
zoning code in effect. Thus, adoption of the proposed amendment will not permit
townhouse construction in areas where it is not currently allowed. Since this is
the case, the proposed amendment is expected to have a neutral effect on the
compatibility of existing and proposed development. This is in accordance with the
2017 Comprehensive Plan's Housing Goal F, "Provide for a variety of housing types
that respects the established character of the community." [Ibid., p. 941 It is also
in accordance with the 2017 Comprehensive Plan's Economic Development Goal
B, which calls for "...balancing the needs for housing, commerce and employment
development with neighborhood character, amenitites and scale.- [Ibid., p. 1121.
CRITERION 2: RELEVANCE TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE
The proposed amendment is expected to encourage the development of
townhouses and their sale to individual owners. This may result in an increase
in owner -occupied housing. Such housing is typically well -maintained as the
occupants have a clear incentive to do so. The presence of housing more generally
in mixed -use districts can also increase public safety via the "eyes on the street"
effect. Although the proposed amendment will not allow housing to be constructed
in areas where it is not already allowed, it may encourage such development.
CRITERION 3: PUBLIC BENEFIT
The primary public benefit to the City as a result of adopting the proposed
amendment is its encouragement of owner -occupied, townhouse -style housing.
This has the potential to further diversify the City's existing housing stock, which
is in alignment with several of the City's goals in the 2017 Comprehensive Plan.
Under present code, a project which seeks to establish the equivalent of unit
Lots is required to follow the Planned Residential Development [PRD1 process.
This process is more labor intensive for both the City's Development Services
Department and the project proponent, and it is designed to allow the potential
for alternative development standards. Not all projects require this flexibility,
and allowing the use of the ULS process instead may reduce the burden on the
Development Services Department.

REVIEW OF INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE (#4210) AMENDNG EDMONDS COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT CODE (ECDC) 17.75, ENTITLED "OUTDOOR DINING," AND A RELATED SECTION IN
ECDC 17.70
Mr. Chave reviewed that the City Council adopted Ordinance 4210 on December 15, 2020, as an interim ordinance. The
main affect was to change the Outdoor Dining Permit from what had been a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), which required a
hearing by the Hearing Examiner and a lengthy review process, to an Administrative Approval that could be done by staff.
Because Ordinance 4210 is an interim ordinance that expires after six months, the Board is being asked to review it and
provide a recommendation about whether it should be adopted for a longer period of time or permanently.
Chair Rosen asked Mr. Chave to articulate between the "Outdoor Dining" use that is the subject of the interim ordinance and
"Streeteries." Mr. Chave explained that a variety of activities are allowed within the rights -of -way, but streeteries are a new
type of use that came about during the pandemic. They are basically the temporary use of rights -of -way to help businesses
survive. Because streeteries are allowed in ECDC 18 (Engineering and Public Works Standards), they are not something the
Planning Board reviews or makes recommendations on. Ordinance 4210 relates to on -site outdoor dining, which typically
occurs as an extension or accessory to a restaurant in an enclosed building. Sometimes it takes the form of patio dining or
outdoor open decks.
Board Member Robles asked if Ordinance 4210 would apply to the temporary structures (tents, etc.) that have expanded into
parking spaces. Mr. Chave answered that the ordinance is not applicable to tents and other structures that are located within
the rights -of -way. However, it could allow outdoor dining to be located in on -site parking areas, as long as the parking
spaces are not part of a business's required parking.
Chair Rosen asked how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirement could potentially be impacted by outdoor
dining areas. Mr. Chave answered that the applicant would still have to comply with all of the building code requirements,
including making sure that access was ADA compliant.
Board Member Pence asked if there have been any applications for outdoor dining since Ordinance 4210 was passed in
December. Mr. Chave said he believes so, but he would need to ask the Building Official for this specific information.
Board Member Monroe referred to ECDC 17.75.010(2), and asked how the 4-foot wall, hedge or fence was arrived at. He
also asked how they arrived at the 50% or 30-seat limit. Mr. Chave said these requirements were part of the previous code
that had been in place for many years. The substantial change was not requiring a CUP for the use.
Board Member Pence observed that eliminating the CUP requirement from ECDC 17.75.020 would make ECDC 17.75.020
(Secondary Uses Requiring a Permit) functionally the same as ECDC 17.75.010 (Permitted Secondary Uses). If that is the
case, then ECDC 17.75.020 could be eliminated entirely. Mr. Chave agreed it might be possible to combine the two sections.
However, the language related to building and fire permits in ECDC 17.75.020 would need to be added to ECDC 17.75.010.
He commented that there has been some debate and uncertainty about when and how the building and fire permits apply.
Board Member Pence said he believes in having codes as neat and tidy and easy to follow as possible, and having two
separate sections that are functionally indistinguishable is not good bill drafting. He suggested that the permanent ordinance
combine the two sections in a way that accomplishes the intent. The remainder of the Board concurred.
Mr. Chave said the intent of the ordinance is to make it clear that outdoor dining must be the secondary rather than
predominant use of the property and that some buffering would be required. Chair Rosen referred to ECDC 17.75.010(A)(5),
which appears to be motivated by safety. If the intent is to separate vehicles from patrons, perhaps it should be spelled out
that the barrier must be suitable to protect the safety of the diner.
Mr. Chave advised that a public hearing on the ordinance is tentatively scheduled for March 24r''.
CODE AMENDMENT TO BROADEN APPLICABILITY OF THE UNIT LOT SUBDIVISION PROCESS
Mr. Clugston explained that this application is a privately -initiated Development Code amendment. As a Type V application,
the Planning Board conducts a public hearing and makes a recommendation to the City Council. He explained that the

Citizen Design Collaborative is proposing to add the Downtown Business (BD) zones to the areas in Edmonds where the
Unit Lot Subdivision Provision is applicable. He reviewed that United Lot Subdivisions are currently only allowed in the
General Commercial (CG), Multiple Residential (RM), and Westgate Mixed use (WMU) zones. He said the applicant has
submitted a parallel application for design review for a 14-unit complex at the old Baskin Robbins and Curve site. The
proposal is to construct residential and live/work units on the site and then apply the Unit Lot Subdivision Provision on top of
the buildings once constructed. However, this isn't currently allowed because the property is located in the BC zone.
Mr. Clugston said there have been a number of Unit Lot Subdivision Projects over the last several years in the RM, WMU
and CG zones that have worked out very well. Staff believes the proposed amendment makes sense in those areas in the BD
zone where multifamily residential is allowed on the ground floor. The amendment might also be applicable to other areas of
Edmonds, and staff is suggesting the Board consider the option of making the amendment more general to cast a broader net
to include all zones where ground -floor multifamily dwelling units are allowed. This would include Office Residential,
Firdale Village Mixed Use and Downtown Business zones, as well as any future subarea plans that allows ground -floor
residential units.
Board Member Pence noted that Unit Lot Subdivisions were only written into the code in 2017. He asked why the provision
was written so narrowly to apply only to a limited set of zones. Mr. Clugston said he doesn't recall exactly why. But,
generally, the RM, CG and MU zones were areas where they anticipated that Unit Lot Subdivisions would occur first. Five
of the six projects were in RM zones. Based on these projects' success, staff believes it makes sense to allow them in the
other zones, too. Mr. Chave said, sometimes, there are unusual configurations of property, and you don't always see how a
multifamily use that fits this kind of development could occur. That may be why they missed applying the use more broadly.
Board Member Pence agreed that application of the provision should be broadened as recommended by staff.
Chair Rosen asked the worse concern staff can imagine someone might raise at the public hearing. Mr. Clugston said he
can't think of one at this point. The look of the development on the ground would not change, as Unit Lot Subdivision would
simply drops property lines on walls. It is an alternative to the condominium process, and he felt it makes sense to allow it
wherever ground -floor multifamily units are allowed.
Vice Chair Crank said the only concern she foresees is about the look and feel of the downtown core. She noted a recent
story that was posted on MY EDMONDS NEWS about the design of the proposed project has already caused a stir. Mr.
Clugston said the proposed amendment is a separate issue from the design. Whether or not the amendment is adopted, the
applicant could build the units as long as Design Review and Building Permit approval are obtained. The question is how
ownership will be divided up. The applicant could construct the units and then go through the condominium process, and the
City would have no say whatsoever. If the amendment is adopted, the applicant would go through a separate process (Unit
Lot Subdivision). In either case, the look of the buildings would not change. He agreed that this is something that would
need to be clearly explained at the public hearing.
Board Member Cheung asked if the proposed amendment could result in parking impacts. Mr. Clugston answered no, and
advised that parking would be addressed as part of the Design Review and Building Permit processes.
Board Member Monroe asked for reasons why developers might want to use the Unit Lot Subdivision option as opposed to
the already established provisions in the code. Mr. Clugston answered that, currently, there is no provision in the code that
would allow the applicant to do a subdivision. Right now, Unit Lot Subdivisions are only allowed in RM, CG and WMU
zones. The applicant is requesting an amendment to allow the use in the BD zone to specifically take advantage of the fee
simple option as opposed to the condominium process or rentals. Board Member Monroe asked why Unit Lot Subdivisions
are an advantage over the condominium process. Mr. Clugston said his understanding is that the condominium process is
more difficult, is not a public process, and it is hard to get insurance for the units. The zero -lot -line process used in other
cities is the process that a lot of developers use to create fee -simple lots.
Board Member Monroe reviewed that the adoption of the proposed amendment would not change the density allowed, the
look and feel of development or the parking requirements. He noted that condominiums haven't been built in Washington for
a number of years because of insurance issues, and the Unit Lot Subdivision Provision would make it easier for developers.
He said anticipates that the greatest concern that might be raised at the public hearing is that the amendment would density
Edmonds and particularly the downtown core. Vice Chair Crank agreed with that concern.
Planning Board Minutes
February 10, 2021 Page 3

7.2.g
Board Member Pence suggested one reason developers do not like to do condominiums has to do with builder's liability.
Under Washington's Condominium Law, builders have a very long period of time when they are liable for defects in the
buildings, and they have been hit with some major lawsuits by homeowner associations. With Unit Lot Subdivisions, all of
these issues go away.
Board Member Robles noted that builder's liability lasts for eight years. In addition, there are building envelop laws
associated with condominiums. You can't simply flip a building from an apartment to a condominium. You have to make
sure that the building is structurally sound and that the building envelope, itself, meets a new standard. The windows have to
retain certain energy requirements and other requirements would apply, as well. He voiced concern that the proposed
amendment would be a quick way for developers to get around a significant amount of regulation associated with the
condominium process.
Board Member Cloutier observed that once a property is subdivided, each new division would have to meet all of the
standards for construction. Mr. Chave said Unit Lot Subdivisions should be thought of as a different form of ownership:
condominium versus subdivision. The standards and requirements would be the same for either.
Chair Rosen asked if the potential concerns that the amendment would change the character or increase density could be
considered fatal flaws that lead the Board to recommend denial. Mr. Clugston emphasized that the amendment would not
result in changes in the character of an area or increased density. He referred to the "Purpose" section, which clearly states
that "Unit Lot Subdivision does not permit uses or densities that are not otherwise allowed in the zoning district in which
they are proposed. "
Board Member Monroe said he appreciates that the proposed amendment would not change density. However, it should be
noted that the current condominium law is holding back densification. By removing that dam, they could see a tidal wave of
redevelopment in the downtown. He said he isn't a huge fan of the proposed amendment, as it will not do anything to
address housing for the "missing middle." It seems it will simply make rich people richer. He suggested it is disingenuous to
imply that the City isn't making it easier to develop this type of unit in downtown Edmonds.
Board Member Pence agreed that the code change related to ownership options would make the construction of town homes
a more attractive option for developers. However, it is important to consider that town homes are, by definition, a low to
moderate density development for a downtown area. If they receive push back from the public, he doesn't believe it will be
well-grounded.
Vice Chair Crank asked if a Unit Lot Subdivision would include the ground floor. If so, could commercial be part of that
ground -floor level? Mr. Clugston explained that the subdivision could apply to a live/work unit where the ground floor is a
commercial use, with residential uses above. But primarily, the developments would be entirely residential.
Board Member Pence asked if ground -floor commercial is required in the BD zone along 5' Avenue, or is it just an option
the developer is choosing. Mr. Clugston answered that commercial is required on the ground floor along certain street fronts,
including 5' Avenue. The applicant's solution is to develop live/work units, where there is a commercial use on the ground
floor with residential above where the operator or owner of the business would live. Board Member Pence noted that some
cities require the occupant of the ground -floor space to have a business license to establish the voracity of the business use so
it doesn't become just another town home. He asked if the City would require a license. Mr. Clugston agreed that would be
something to consider, as it makes sense to have the uses separated in some way.
Board Member Monroe commented that the intent of the first -floor commercial requirement is to activate the space. Spaces
that are occupied by businesses that do not invite the public in goes against the intent of the zoning. Mr. Clugston advised
that any commercial use can be located on the ground floor in theory, and there is currently a broad range of businesses in the
downtown area (office, service, retail, etc.). Mr. Chave added that, historically, live/work units are found back east. When
the country was young, that was fairly typical. The use is not quite as common in the western United States because
developers tended to build out because there was so much space. However, with the new urbanism that has occurred over the
last two decades, live/work situations are becoming more common. They are seeing more demand or interest from people
Planning Board Minutes

7.2.g
who want to live close to where they work. Board Member Monroe commented that if the live/work units must be owner -
occupied, people would have to move if their businesses close down.
Vice Chair Crank said she plans to seek feedback from a friend who owns live/work space in Seattle. His optician business is
on the ground floor, and he lives above.
Vice Chair Crank asked if the proposed amendment would override the ground floor commercial requirement in the BD1
zone. Mr. Clugston answered no.
Chair Rosen asked if the Board would have an opportunity to weigh in on how the regulations associated with Unit Lot
Subdivisions are enforced. Mr. Chave said the proposed amendment is related solely to the Unit Lot Subdivision provision,
and is unrelated to the ground -floor commercial use or other zoning requirements.
Board Member Cheung asked if the owner of a live/work unit could use the ground floor space for a business, but rent out the
upper floor to someone else. Mr. Clugston noted that the City hasn't permitted any live/work unit development to date. The
use and owner -occupancy requirement will need further thought. However, that is a separate question from the proposed
amendment.
Chair Rosen suggested the Board Members keep the questions raised in their minds as they become further informed at the
public hearing on March 24r''. In preparation for the hearing, he suggested that the Board provide feedback to staff about
whether the amendment should be geographically specific to the BD zone or opened up to a broader area.
Board Member Monroe voiced concern that the amendment might be more difficult to adopt if it is applied broadly. Mr.
Clugston didn't believe that would be the case because Unit Lot Subdivisions are already allowed in many other parts of the
City. The amendment would simply allow a developer to drop property lines down on a use that is already allowed in the
zone.
Vice Chair Crank said she is open to consider a broader application of the amendment to other zones in the City, but she isn't
ready to recommend its application in the BD zone at this time.
Chair Rosen asked if the applicant could develop the same project under the current zoning if the amendment is denied, and
Board Member Monroe answered that the project would not likely pencil out.
Board Member Cloutier requested that staff provide the Board with a before and after map to illustrate the areas that would
be impacted by the proposed amendment based on the two options.
Chair Rosen asked if the Board could recommend denial of the amendment now. Mr. Chave answered no and explained that
the Planning Board must conduct a public hearing before making a recommendation to the City Council.
The Board indicated general consensus that the amendment should be presented in the broader context at the public hearing.
The description for the hearing should make it clear how the amendment evolved, and that it is being sparked by a very
specific request for a very specific property.
BOARD MEMBER PENCE MOVED THAT THE BOARD RECOMMEND THAT THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENT MOVE TO A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BASIS OF THE BROADER APPLICATION. BOARD
MEMBER ROBLES SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
APPOINTMENT OF NEW STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE
Chair Rosen asked about the process for appointing a new Student Representative to the Board. Mr. Chave said staff would
advertise the position next week. He recalled that, in the past, the Board set up a subcommittee to interview the candidates
and make a recommendation to the Board. The Board agreed to follow that process, with Board Member Robles taking the
lead.

Edmonds Municipal Court Reorganization
Staff Lead: Judge Whitney Rivera
Department: Municipal Court
Preparer: Scott Passey
Background/History
N/A
Staff Recommendation
Consider the four reorganization requests outlined in the Narrative.
Narrative
Edmonds Municipal Court (EMC) nimbly and skillfully responded to the needs of our community during
the COVID-19 pandemic. The court remained open and transitioned to a combination of remote and in -
person proceedings, amid both an uncertain quarantine period and a changing landscape of criminal law
and procedure, due to appellate court decisions and legislative changes. The court showed its leadership
in its staff, as Edmonds Probation Officer Omar Gamez was named Probation Officer of The Year by the
Washington State Misdemeanant Probation Association (MPA). He was chosen among all the probation
officers across the entire state.
EMC is, for many members of our community, the face of the city. Any person who receives a parking
infraction, a traffic infraction, or a criminal citation for a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor interacts
with Edmonds Municipal Court. Edmonds Municipal Court works every day to provide access to justice.
In order to continue our work, correct past inequities, and staff positions to appropriately reflect the
workload, the Court requests that City Council approve the following four requests:
1. Create an Assistant Court Administrator position;
2. Backfill the clerk position vacated by the individual who will become the Assistant Court
Administrator, if approved, and create an additional Court Clerk position;
3. Reclassify the Court Administrator; and
4. Change the elected Municipal Court Judge position from 0.75 FTE to 1 FTE.
These requests and supporting documentation are discussed in greater detail below. If all of these
requests are approved and went into effect September 1, 2021, the estimated 2021 cost impact is
$86,329.98.

Judicial Needs Estimation
Throughout this memorandum and supporting documentation, the term Judicial Needs Estimation (JNE)
is used. The JNE is used by courts throughout the entire State of Washington as one measure of a court's
workload.
The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) creates the JNE based on an algorithm that takes into
account case filings and hearings held. AOC determines the needs for each court based on the statistics
from the court's case management system called Judicial Information System (JIS).
The data used to calculate the JNE is generated by the Caseloads of the Courts of Washington. However,
the caseload tables used to calculate the JNE do not comprise a complete workload report. The caseload
statistics do not reflect administrative activities, non -case activity, and off -bench case activity.
Moreover, the JNE generated by AOC for Edmonds Municipal Court does not include search warrants or
weekend jail booking reviews. Edmonds Municipal Court currently does not have sufficient staff to enter
the search warrant statistics into JIS, which means that this work is not reflected in the caseload
statistics and therefore not represented in the JNE. Moreover, the JNE does not reflect a presiding
judge's duties.
The JNE is the accepted measure of a court's caseload, even if it is not representative of a complete
workload report for the reasons discussed above. The workload of the court impacts the number of staff
required to serve our citizens.
Realignment of Judicial Branch Organization
Packet Pg. 133
8.1
The Role Realignment for Edmonds Municipal Court is attached as Appendix A. This document outlines
the changes required to align with proper union and accounting procedures. The first page shows the
current structure and highlights the problems with the way the court is currently organized. The second
pages outlines how the increased funding would be used to remedy the current issues.
Request for Assistant Court Administrator
Edmonds Municipal Court is the only court in Snohomish County that does not currently have an
Assistant Court Administrator. Many duties that are preformed when filling in for the Court
Administrator are HR related and cannot be done by a union represented position.
In order to be in compliance with the State Auditor and Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC)
recommendations, EMC needs at least two levels to audit and track financial transactions. All courts in
the county have at least two exempt levels monitoring and auditing court accounting of staff and
Judicial Information System entries.
This work is done by exempt personnel in other courts that are in compliance with the State's
recommendations. This new structure would put EMC in compliance with the State Auditor and AOC
recommendations. The new positions would also create a fair labor practice of a non -represented
position supervising, monitoring, and auditing the work of union positions.
This Assistant Court Administrator will provide succession planning, depth, and continuity of
government in emergency situations.
Backfill Court Clerk and Create New Court Clerk Position
The individual who will become the Assistant Court Administrator, if approved, will vacate the Lead
Clerk position. EMC is requesting that this position be backfilled. This Clerk would be responsible for
front counter payment processing, accounts receivable, collection payments, time pay agreements, mail
payments, and online payments.
EMC is also requesting to create an additional Clerk position. Staff at EMC have been overwhelmed in
their workload, resulting in overtime hours being used in 2020 and 2021. Compared to resourcing from
comparable cities, EMC has three to eight fewer staff position. See Appendix D.
Additionally, EMC will be creating and implementing a new driving while license suspended program.
This program will greatly reduce the need for individuals to be criminally charged for failure to pay fines
of traffic penalties. This program will help achieve the goals of Resolution No. 1460, which passed
unanimously by the Edmonds City Council, and includes assisting eligible drivers in getting relicensed.
Court Administrator Reclassification
General Rule (GR) 29 governs judicial branch operations and administration. Pursuant to GR 29, all
operation and administrative duties for any business -related matter may be delegated by the judicial
officer to a Court Administrator. This includes personnel, budget administration, functions, and
Packet Pg. 134
8.1
operations. GR 29 also provides that all duties set forth in the rule cannot be delegated to the legislative
or executive branches of government.
Edmonds Municipal Court (EMC) has a Court Administrator per GR 29. The Court Administrator is
responsible for all functions of the court. The Court Administrator is appointed by and reports directly to
the Presiding Judge. The Court Administrator is held to a comparable standard in duties, roles,
knowledge, and expertise as other city department heads.
This request is being made to the City Council because of the disparity between the pay grade for the
Court Administrator and the work performed. The Court Administrator must have in-depth institutional
knowledge and an understanding of court procedures and applicable laws. There has been a shift across
the State to increase Court Administrator compensation and recognize the specialized nature of this
position. A Court Administrator will be required by court rule to undergo continuing education.
Because the Court Administrator must have wide-ranging knowledge and all -encompassing skills to carry
out her extensive duties and responsibilities, this change is necessary to achieve equity and parity. The
Court Administrator role has traditionally employed women in the role and labor market data reflects a
disparity in pay relative to gender. Given the elevated duties of this position, EMC requests that the
Council approve reclassifying the Court Administrator position to NR-20 to bring pay equity into
alignment internally.
Here is a sample of Court Administrator compensation in comparable cities:

Change Municipal Court Judge from 0.75 FTE to 1 FTE
As discussed above, the JNE generated by AOC estimates the judicial needs for EMC to be 1 FTE. The JNE
and caseload statistics do not reflect administrative activities, non -case activity, and off -bench case
activity. The JNE does not include search warrants or weekend jail booking reviews.
The number of search warrants issued each year are as follows:
§ 2018 - 109 search warrants;
§ 2019 - 97 search warrants;
§ 2020 - 101 search warrants; and
2021- If numbers remain consistent throughout the remainder of the year, there will be
approximately 108 search warrants.
EMC currently does not have sufficient staff to enter the search warrant statistics into JIS. This means
that this work is not reflected in the caseload reports and therefore not represented in the JNE. If our
requests for staffing are approved, EMC could work towards ensuring that search warrants are entered
into JIS so that they are reflected in the future JNE. Lastly, the JNE does not reflect a presiding judge's
duties.
Moreover, EMC expects that a number of legislative changes, including changing possession of a
controlled substance from a felony to a simple misdemeanor, will likely impact the JNE moving forward.
We expect an uptick in caseload activity as we reopen following the shutdowns from the COVID-19
pandemic.
Lastly, under the Washington State Supreme Court Emergency Order, which is still in effect, bench
warrants for failures to appear in court may only issue upon a consideration of factors including whether
a warrant is necessary for the immediate preservation of public or individual safety. Because many
criminal offenses that come through EMC do not meet this factor, bench warrants have been authorized
but held for administrative review. Once the Washington State Supreme Court Emergency Order is
lifted, we expect approximately 350+ bench warrants to issue. The arrests that inevitably will result from
effectuating these warrants will also impact EMC's workload.
Please feel free to reach out to myself or Uneek Maylor if you would like any additional information
regarding our requests. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Agenda Memorandum
From: Judge Whitney Rivera, Edmonds Municipal Court
To: Edmonds City Council
Meeting: July 27, 2021
Edmonds Municipal Court (EMC) nimbly and skillfully responded to the needs of our
community during the COVID-19 pandemic. The court remained open and transitioned to a
combination of remote and in -person proceedings, amid both an uncertain quarantine period
and a changing landscape of criminal law and procedure, due to appellate court decisions and
legislative changes. The court showed its leadership in its staff, as Edmonds Probation
Officer Omar Gamez was named Probation Officer of The Year by the Washington State
Misdemeanant Probation Association (MPA). He was chosen among all the probation
officers across the entire state.
EMC is, for many members of our community, the face of the city. Any person who receives
a parking infraction, a traffic infraction, or a criminal citation for a misdemeanor or gross
misdemeanor interacts with Edmonds Municipal Court. Edmonds Municipal Court works
every day to provide access to justice. In order to continue our work, correct past inequities,
and staff positions to appropriately reflect the workload, the Court requests that City Council
approve the following four requests:
1. Create an Assistant Court Administrator position;
2. Backfill the clerk position vacated by the individual who will become the Assistant
Court Administrator, if approved, and create an additional Court Clerk position;
3. Reclassify the Court Administrator; and
4. Change the elected Municipal Court Judge position from 0.75 FTE to 1 FTE.
These requests and supporting documentation are discussed in greater detail below. If all of
these requests are approved and went into effect September 1, 2021, the estimated 2021 cost
impact is $86,329.98.

annual salary of $190,120, which is reduced 25% due to the current 0.75 FTE status and then another 5% as fixed
by the Washington Citizens' Commission on Salaries for Elected Officials (i.e., $190,120 x 0.75 = 142,590 x 0.95 =
$135,460.50). If approved to change the EMC Judge to 1 FTE, this would result in an annual salary of $180,614
through July 1, 2022 (i.e., $190,120 x 0.95 = $180.614). On July 1, 2022, the district court judges' annual salary
increases to $193,447, which would increase the EMC Judge's salary to $183,774.65.

Judicial Needs Estimation
Throughout this memorandum and supporting documentation, the term Judicial Needs
Estimation (JNE) is used. The JNE is used by courts throughout the entire State of
Washington as one measure of a court's workload.
The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) creates the JNE based on an algorithm that
takes into account case filings and hearings held. AOC determines the needs for each court
based on the statistics from the court's case management system called Judicial Information
System (JIS).
The data used to calculate the JNE is generated by the Caseloads of the Courts of
Washington. However, the caseload tables used to calculate the JNE do not comprise a
complete workload report. The caseload statistics do not reflect administrative activities,
non -case activity, and off -bench case activity.
Moreover, the JNE generated by AOC for Edmonds Municipal Court does not include search
warrants or weekend jail booking reviews. Edmonds Municipal Court currently does not
have sufficient staff to enter the search warrant statistics into JIS, which means that this work
is not reflected in the caseload statistics and therefore not represented in the JNE. Moreover,
the JNE does not reflect a presiding judge's duties.
The JNE is the accepted measure of a court's caseload, even if it is not representative of a
complete workload report for the reasons discussed above. The workload of the court
impacts the number of staff required to serve our citizens.

Add an Assistant Court Administrator and Court Clerk positions
Staff Lead: Uneek Maylor
Department: Municipal Court
Preparer: Uneek Maylor
Background/History
Staff Recommendation
Edmonds Municipal Court (EMC) currently has a Lead Court Clerk (NE-9) position. EMC requests to
change that positon to an Assistant Court Administrator (NR-14) and also a backfill Court Clerk (NE-7).
The cost of change would be $79,771 annually.
Narrative
EMC traditionally had a Lead Court Clerk (NE-9) position fill in for the Court Administrator when
necessary. The Lead Court Clerk also supervised staff and operations on a daily basis at the lowest level
The Lead Court Clerk trained, monitored, and audited staff work. The Lead Court Clerk position is also a
union positon. The court is requesting for a non -represented positon to be auditing staff work,
supervising staff, and filling in for the Court Administrator.
Many duties that are preformed when filling in for the Court Administrator are HR related and cannot be
done by a union represented position. In order to be in compliance with the State Auditor and
Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) recommendations, EMC needs at least two levels to audit and
track financial transactions. All courts in the county have at least two exempt levels monitoring and
auditing court accounting of staff and Judicial Information System entries. The Lead Court Clerk duties
currently include all accounting, collections, auditing, and end of month process. This work is done by
exempt personnel in other courts that are in compliance with the State's recommendations.
This new structure would put EMC in compliance with the State Auditor and AOC recommendations. The
new positions would also create a fair labor practice of a non -represented position supervising,
monitoring, and auditing the work of union positions. The duties listed in the Assistant Court
Administrator job description are in line with other Assistant Director duties for the City of Edmonds.
The requested paygrade is comparable to those in the courts in Snohomish County and that of other
Assistant Directors for the City of Edmonds.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 05/11/2021
Add Court Clerk position
Staff Lead: Uneek Maylor
Department: Municipal Court
Preparer: Uneek Maylor
Background/History
Staff Recommendation
Edmonds Municipal Court (EMC) requests an additional Court Clerk (NE-7) position to accommodate the
Driving While License Suspended (DWLS) Relicensing Program and current court clerking needs. The cost
of this change would be $52,692 annually.
Narrative
EMC will be creating and implementing a new DWLS Relicensing Program. This program will greatly
reduce the need for individuals to be criminally charged for failure to pay fines of traffic penalties. This
program will help achieve the goals of Resolution No.1460, which passed unanimously by the Edmonds
City Council, and includes assisting eligible drivers in getting relicensed.
The current workload of EMC does not allow for any additional work based on current staffing levels,
which is seven staff total. There are four other municipal courts with the same Judicial Need Estimation
(JNE) of 1 FTE Judge. These municipal courts have nearly double EMC's staffing level. The municipal
courts with the JNE of 1 FTE Judge for the state are:
Lakewood Municipal Court
Olympia Municipal Court
Puyallup Municipal Court
Renton Municipal Court
Edmonds municipal Court
1 FTE Judge —10 Total Staff
1 FTE Judge —15 Total Staff
1 FTE Judge —13 Total Staff
1 FTE Judge —15 Total Staff
1 FTE Judge — 7 Tota I Staff
With EMC's current level of staff, some basic functions are not preformed when staff are sick or on
vacation. These basic functions are handled by the Court Administrator on nights and weekends. For
EMC to also create and implement a DWLS Relicensing Program, another Court Clerk position is
necessary.

Change Court Administrator pay grade to NR-20
Staff Lead: Judge Whitney Rivera
Department: Municipal Court
Preparer: Judge Whitney Rivera
Background/History
General Rule (GR) 29 governs judicial branch operations and administration. Pursuant to GR 29, all
operation and administrative duties for any business -related matter may be delegated by the judicial
officer to a Court Administrator. This includes personnel, budget administration, functions, and
operations. GR 29 also provides that all duties set forth in the rule cannot be delegated to the legislative
or executive branches of government.
GR 29 states that the Board of Judicial Administration shall establish a model job description for the
Court Administrator position. The model job description designates the knowledge, skills, and abilities
required for this position. The model job description provides guidance to the Presiding Judge when
hiring a Court Administrator.
Edmonds Municipal Court (EMC) has a Court Administrator per GR 29. The Court Administrator is
responsible for all functions of the court. The Court Administrator is appointed by and reports directly to
the Presiding Judge. The Court Administrator is held to a comparable standard in duties, roles,
knowledge, and expertise as other city department heads.
This request is being made to the City Council because of the disparity between the pay grade for the
Court Administrator and other city department heads. The Court Administrator's pay grade is lower than
those in management in other city departments. The Court Administrator is currently placed at a
supervisor level in terms of vacation benefits.
Because the Court Administrator must have wide-ranging knowledge and all -encompassing skills to carry
out her extensive duties and responsibilities, this change is necessary to achieve equity and parity.
Staff Recommendation
The Court Administrator is currently at the pay grade of NR-14. EMC requests that the Court
Administrator position be changed to grade of NR-20. The cost of change would be $22,164 annually.
EMC also asks to change the job description for the Court Administrator to the model job description,
which was formally updated by the District and Municipal Court Management Association and adopted
Packet Pg. 166
8.1.f
by the District and Municipal Court Judicial Association in 2021. EMC also proposes that the vacation
rate change to the level of a department head.
Narrative
The State of Washington, through the District and Municipal Court Management Association, has
drafted and proposed a new model Court Administrator job description for use by all courts. The newly
drafted model job description was created in conjunction with Administrative Rules for Courts of Limited
Jurisdiction (ARU)14. ARU 14 is a new proposed court rule that requires continuing education hours for
Court Administrators because they are responsible for all systems and compliance with local and state
laws that apply to the courts, which are constantly changing. The model job description and proposed
rule is attached to this packet.

GR 29
PRESIDING JUDGE IN SUPERIOR COURT DISTRICT AND
LIMITED JURISDICTION COURT DISTRICT
(a) Election, Term, Vacancies, Removal and Selection Criteria --Multiple Judge
Courts.
(1) Election. Each superior court district and each limited jurisdiction court district
(including municipalities operating municipal courts) having more than one judge shall establish
a procedure, by local court rule, for election, by the judges of the district, of a Presiding Judge,
who shall supervise the judicial business of the district. In the same manner, the judges shall elect
an Assistant Presiding Judge of the district who shall serve as Acting Presiding Judge during the
absence or upon the request of the Presiding Judge and who shall perform such further duties as
the Presiding Judge, the Executive Committee, if any, or the majority of the judges shall direct.
If the judges of a district fail or refuse to elect a Presiding Judge, the Supreme Court shall appoint
the Presiding Judge and Assistant Presiding Judge.
(2) Term. The Presiding Judge shall be elected for a term of not less than two years,
subject to reelection. The term of the Presiding Judge shall commence on January 1 of the year in
which the Presiding Judge's term begins.
(3) Vacancies. Interim vacancies of the office of Presiding Judge or Acting Presiding
Judge shall be filled as provided in the local court rule in (a)(1).
(4) Removal. The Presiding Judge may be removed by a majority vote of the judges of the
district unless otherwise provided by local court rule.
(5) Selection Criteria. Selection of a Presiding Judge should be based on the judge's
1) management and administrative ability, 2) interest in serving in the position, 3) experience and
familiarity with a variety of trial court assignments, and 4) ability to motivate and educate other
judicial officers and court personnel. A Presiding Judge must have at least four years of
experience as a judge, unless this requirement is waived by a majority vote of the judges of the
court.
Commentary
It is the view of the committee that the selection and duties of a presiding judge should be
enumerated in a court rule rather than in a statute. It is also our view that one rule should apply
to all levels of court and include single judge courts. Therefore, the rule should be a GR (General
Rule). The proposed rule addresses the process of selection/removal of a presiding judge and an
executive committee. It was the intent of the committee to provide some flexibility to local
courts wherein they could establish, by local rule, a removal process. Additionally, by
delineating the selection criteria for the presiding judge, the committee intends that a rotational
system of selecting a presiding judge is not advisable.
(b) Selection and Term --Single Judge Courts. In court districts or municipalities having
only one judge, that judge shall serve as the Presiding Judge for the judge's term of office.
(c) Notification of Chief Justice. The Presiding Judge so elected shall send notice of the
election of the Presiding Judge and Assistant Presiding Judge to the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court within 30 days of election.
Packet Pg. 173
8.1.g
(d) Caseload Adjustment. To the extent possible, the judicial caseload should be adjusted
to provide the Presiding Judge with sufficient time and resources to devote to the management
and administrative duties of the office.
Commentary
Whether caseload adjustments need to be made depends on the size and workload of the
court. A recognition of the additional duties of the Presiding Judge by some workload
adjustment should be made by larger courts. For example, the Presiding Judge could be assigned
a smaller share of civil cases or a block of time every week could be set aside with no cases
scheduled so the Presiding Judge could attend to administrative matters.
(e) General Responsibilities. The Presiding Judge is responsible for leading the
management and administration of the court's business, recommending policies and procedures
that improve the court's effectiveness, and allocating resources in a way that maximizes the
court's ability to resolve disputes fairly and expeditiously.
(f) Duties and Authority. The judicial and administrative duties set forth in this rule
cannot be delegated to persons in either the legislative or executive branches of government. A
Presiding Judge may delegate the performance of ministerial duties to court employees; however,
it is still the Presiding Judge's responsibility to ensure they are performed in accordance with this
rule. In addition to exercising general administrative supervision over the court, except those
duties assigned to clerks of the superior court pursuant to law, the Presiding Judge shall:
(1) Supervise the business of the judicial district and judicial officers in such manner as to
ensure the expeditious and efficient processing of all cases and equitable distribution of the
workload among judicial officers;
(2) Assign judicial officers to hear cases pursuant to statute or rule. The court may
establish general policies governing the assignment of judges;
(3) Coordinate judicial officers' vacations, attendance at education programs, and similar
matters;
(4) Develop and coordinate statistical and management information;
(5) Supervise the daily operation of the court including:
(a) All personnel assigned to perform court functions; and
(b) All personnel employed under the judicial branch of government, including but not
limited to working conditions, hiring, discipline, and termination decisions except wages, or
benefits directly related to wages; and
(c) The court administrator, or equivalent employee, who shall report directly to the
Presiding Judge.
Commentary
The trial courts must maintain control of the working conditions for their employees. For
some courts this includes control over some wage -related benefits such as vacation time. While
Packet Pg. 174
8.1.g
the executive branch maintains control of wage issues, the courts must assert their control in all
other areas of employee relations.
With respect to the function of the court clerk, generally the courts of limited jurisdiction
have direct responsibility for the administration of their clerk's office as well as the supervision
of the court clerks who work in the courtroom. In the superior courts, the clerk's office may be
under the direction of a separate elected official or someone appointed by the local judges or
local legislative or executive authority. In those cases where the superior court is not responsible
for the management of the clerk's office, the presiding judge should communicate to the county
clerk any concerns regarding the performance of statutory court duties by county clerk personnel.
A model job description, including qualification and experience criteria, for the court
administrator position shall be established by the Board for Judicial Administration. A model
job description that generally describes the knowledge, skills, and abilities of a court
administrator would provide guidance to Presiding Judges in modifying current job
duties/responsibilities or for courts initially hiring a court administrator or replacing a court
administrator.
N
(6) Supervise the court's accounts and auditing the procurement and disbursement of
appropriations and preparation of the judicial district's annual budget request;
o
(7) Appoint standing and special committees of judicial officers necessary for the proper
m
performance of the duties of the judicial district;
v
(8) Promulgate local rules as a majority of the judges may approve or as the Supreme Court
a
shall direct;
r-
(9) Supervise the preparation and filing of reports required by statute and court rule;
(10) Act as the official spokesperson for the court in all matters with the executive or
legislative branches of state and local government and the community unless the Presiding Judge
shall designate another judge to serve in this capacity;
Commentary
This provision recognizes the Presiding Judge as the official spokesperson for the court. It
is not the intent of this provision to preclude other judges from speaking to community groups or
executive or legislative branches of state or local government.
(I I) Preside at meetings of the judicial officers of the district;
(12) Determine the qualifications of and establish a training program for pro tem judges
and pro tern court commissioners; and
(13) Perform other duties as may be assigned by statute or court rule.
Commentary
The proposed rule also addresses the duties and general responsibilities of the presiding
judge. The language in subsection (d), (e), (f) and (g) was intended to be broad in order that the
presiding judge may carry out his/her responsibilities. There has been some comment that
individual courts should have the ability to change the "duties and general responsibilities"
Packet Pg. 175
8.1.g
subsections by local rule. While our committee has not had an opportunity to discuss this fully,
this approach has a number of difficulties:
■ It would create many "Presiding Judge Rules" all of which are different.
• It could subject some municipal and district court judges to pressure from their
executive and/or legislative authority to relinquish authority over areas such as budget and
personnel.
• It would impede the ability of the BJA through AOC to offer consistent training to
incoming presiding judges.
The Unified Family Court subgroup of the Domestic Relations Committee suggested the
presiding judge is given specific authority to appoint judges to the family court for long periods
of time. Again the committee has not addressed the proposal; however, subsections (e) and (f)
do give the presiding judge broad powers to manage the judicial resources of the court, including
the assignment of judges to various departments.
°
N
(g) Executive Committee. The judges of a court may elect an executive committee
a'
consisting of other judicial officers in the court to advise the Presiding Judge. By local rule, the
0
judges may provide that any or all of the responsibilities of the Presiding Judge be shared with
the Executive Committee and may establish additional functions and responsibilities of the
L
Executive Committee.
o
Commentary
Subsection (g) provides an option for an executive committee if the presiding judge and/or
other members of the bench want an executive committee.
(h) Oversight of judicial officers. It shall be the duty of the Presiding Judge to supervise
judicial officers to the extent necessary to ensure the timely and efficient processing of cases. The
Presiding Judge shall have the authority to address a judicial officer's failure to perform judicial
duties and to propose remedial action. If remedial action is not successful, the Presiding Judge
shall notify the Commission on Judicial Conduct of a judge's substantial failure to perform
judicial duties, which includes habitual neglect of duty or persistent refusal to carry out
assignments or directives made by the Presiding Judge, as authorized by this rule.
(i) Multiple Court Districts. In counties that have multiple court districts, the judges may,
by majority vote of each court, elect to conduct the judicial business collectively under the
provisions of this rule.
(j) Multiple Court Level Agreement. The judges of the superior, district, and municipal
courts or any combination thereof in a superior courtjudicial district may, by majority vote of
each court, elect to conduct the judicial business collectively under the provisions of this rule.
(k) Employment Contracts. A part-time judicial officer may contract with a municipal or
county authority for salary and benefits. The employment contract shall not contain provisions
which conflict with this rule, the Code of Judicial Conduct or statutory judicial authority, or
which would create an impropriety or the appearance of impropriety concerning the judge's
activities. The employment contract should acknowledge the court is a part of an independent
branch of government and that the judicial officer or court employees are bound to act in
accordance with the provisions of the Code of Judicial Conduct and Washington State Court
Packet Pg. 176
8.1.g
rules. A part-time judicial officer's employment contract shall comply with GR 29(k) and
contain the following provisions, which shall not be contradicted or abrogated by other
provisions within the contract.
(1) Required Provisions of a Part -Time Judicial Officer Employment Contract.
(1) Term of Office and Salary. The judge's term of office shall be four years, as provided in
RCW 3.50.050. The judge's salary shall be fixed by ordinance in accordance with
RCW 3.50.080, and the salary shall not be diminished during the term of office.
(2) Judicial Duties. The judge shall perform all duties legally prescribed for a judicial
officer according to state law, the requirements of the Code of Judicial Conduct, and Washington
State court rules.
(3) Judicial Independence and Administration of the Court. The court is an independent
branch of government. The judge shall supervise the daily operations of the court and all
personnel assigned to perform court functions in accordance with the provisions of GR 29(e) and
(f), and RCW 3.50.080. Under no circumstances should judicial retention decisions be made on
the basis of a judge's or a court's performance relative to generating revenue from the imposition
of legal financial obligations.
(4) Termination and Discipline. The judge may only be admonished, reprimanded,
censured, suspended, removed, or retired during the judge's term of office only upon action of
the Washington State Supreme Court, as provided in article IV, section 31 of the Washington
State Constitution.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 05/11/2021
Judicial FTE recommendation
Staff Lead: Uneek Maylor
Department: Municipal Court
Preparer: Uneek Maylor
Background/History
Staff Recommendation
The courts current Elected Judge is a 0.75 FTE. The Judge should be changed to a 1 FTE. The cost of this
change would be $45,153.50 annually.'
Narrative
The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) uses a judicial needs estimation (JNE) based on an
algorithm using case filings and hearings held. The AOC algorithm takes into account that not all case
type filings require the same amount of time. For instance, an infraction for speeding may require one
hearing, while a criminal charge for driving under the influence (DUI) may require ten separate hearings.
Additionally, the type of hearing (e.g., arraignment, pretrial, substantive motion, confirmation,
contested infraction, jury trial, sentence compliance, etc.) impacts the length of time that the Judge
spends on the bench hearing the arguments of the parties and issuing a decision on a case. ACC
determines the needs for each court based on the statistics from the court's case management system
called Judicial Information System (JIS).
The JNE for Edmonds Municipal Court (EMC) prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a
reduction in cases, was 1.02 FTE Judge. The current JNE during the COVID-19 pandemic is 0.96 FTE. Even
with reduced case filings, the algorithm demonstrates that the Judge should be at least a 1 FTE.
Each Court Administrator must insure the accuracy and integrity of the JIS data. While auditing past data
sent to AOC, the current Court Administrator discovered that search warrants issued in EMC were not
being reported to AOC. EMC retains search warrant records at the court as the State Archives Record
Retention Schedule requires. However, EMC did not enter these search warrants into the system that
reports to AOC.
The EMC Judge is always on call and reviews search warrants at all hours of the day. Search warrant
1 The EMC Judge's current salary is $135,460.50. This salary is based on the current district court judges'
annual salary of $190,120, which is reduced 25% due to the current 0.75 FTE status and then another 5% as fixed
by the Washington Citizens' Commission on Salaries for Elected Officials (i.e., $190,120 x 0.75=142,590 x 0.95 =
$135,460.50). If approved to change the EMC Judge to 1 FTE, this would result in an annual salary of $180,614
through July 1, 2022 (i.e., $190,120 x 0.95 = $180.614). On July 1, 2022, the district court judges' annual salary
increases to $193,447, which would increase the EMC Judge's salary to $183,774.65.
Packet Pg. 181
8.1.i
requests are often made at night or during weekends. This work is crucial not only for EMC, but for
other courts as well, including Snohomish County Superior Court. All Judicial Officers can sign search
warrants and are typically called by local law enforcement based on availability and geographic area.
Because the search warrants were not entered into JIS, this work was not calculated into the JNE
algorithm. The numbers of search warrants reviewed and issued are as follows:
■ 2018-109 search warrants;
■ 2019-97 search warrants;
■ 2020 —101 search warrants; and
■ 2021 to current— 36 search warrants (if numbers remain consistent throughout the remainder of
the year, there will be approximately 108 search warrants).
In addition to search warrants, weekend jail booking reviews also were not entered into JIS and
therefore also were not calculated into the JNE algorithm. Pursuant to local rule, the EMC Judge must
review jail bookings every 24 hours to determine whether there is probable cause and whether bail or
release is appropriate. This review includes weekend bookings. Other courts stat these hearings on
Monday so that the JNE is reported accurately. The current Court Administrator only recently learned
this was not being done in EMC.
In addition to the current workload, there have been a number of significant changes recently that will
impact EMC's workload moving forward:
EMC is in the process of developing a relicensing program. This will result in additional
courtroom time and resources to help individuals take the steps necessary to regain their
privilege to drive.
Senate Bill 5476 has passed the legislature and is currently awaiting Governor Inslee's signature.
This legislation was a response to State v. Blake, 197 Wn.2d 170 (2021), where the Washington
Supreme Court held that RCW 69.50.4013, which made drug possession a class C felony offense,
violates due process. Under SB 5476, possession of a controlled substance is no longer a class C
felony, but a misdemeanor offense. This means that drug possession charges that would have
previously been referred to Snohomish County Superior Court prior to the Blake decision will
now be filed in EMC. 56 5476 will take effect immediately once it is signed.
Under State v. Gelinas, 15 Wn. App. 2d 484 (2020), the Division One Court of Appeals held that
issuing bench warrants at pretrial hearings violated applicable court rules. This ruling required
Edmonds Municipal Court (EMC) to revisit approximately 678 bench warrants that issued prior
to the decision. For those bench warrants that issued in violation of Gelinas, EMC is requiring
address certifications and re -summonsing defendants for additional hearings.
4. The Washington Supreme Court issued a Fifth and Extended Order Regarding Court Operations
on February 19, 2021. Paragraph 14 addresses the issuance of bench warrants during the
COVID-19 pandemic. The Order requires that before a bench warrant may issue, courts shall
consider: (1) whether the warrant is necessary for the immediate preservation of public or
Packet Pg. 182
8.1.i
individual safety; (2) whether there is a record that the subject of the warrant has received
actual notice of the previously scheduled court hearing or reporting requirement; and (3)
whetherthere is a viable alternative for securing appearance such as the reissuance of a
summons or another means of notifying the subject that an appearance is required. As a result
of this directive, hundreds of bench warrants that did not to meet this criteria are currently
being held for administrative review. When those bench warrants issue and defendants begin
being arrested in booked into custody, it will significantly impact EMC's workload.
Based on the current JNE of 1.02 FTE Judge, despite the fact that search warrants and weekend jail
booking reviews were not included in the calculation, as well as the anticipation of future workload
increases, EMC requests to change the Judge to a 1 FTE,

CONTINUATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 20-03 DECLARING LOCAL EMERGENCY AND
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Mr. McChesney reported that he hasn't taken any action under the emergency authority.
PROJECT REPORT: NORTH PORTWALK AND SEAWALL. RECONSTRUCTION
Ms. Williams provided a progress report on the 30% design submittals for the project. She advised that Port staff and
Commissioner Orvis met with CG Engineering last week to review the architectural, civil engineering and structural
engineering design submittals and prepare feedback for the consultants. The consultants will use this feedback to
prepare the 60% design submittals that should be ready for review in about six weeks.
Ms. Williams shared the architectural design submittal first, which shows the anticipated location of planter boxes,
benches, bump outs, gates, etc. Design concepts have been provided for the planter boxes and other specific elements.
Some dimensions were provided, but the 60% design will provide full dimensions and materials. Ms. Williams also
shared the civil engineering design submittal, which includes the utility plan and identifies some structural
components.
Ms. Williams advised that some initial cost estimates were provided, but they weren't synced with one another and it
didn't make sense to review them at this time. Instead, CG Engineering has asked that all the consultants submit their
bare construction costs with the 60% design. They will then add the supplemental costs (taxes, general contractor
profit, and overhead) and present all of the information to the Port at the same time.
Ms. Williams recalled that the Commission discussed the proposed new bump -out locations at their retreat, and these
still need to be noted in the 30% design. They also talked about adjustments to the gate designs and guardrail. Staff
has asked that each of the submittals use plan labels that are the same across the board.
Lastly, Ms. Williams said they started discussing what phasing and site closure might look like. The original thought
was that the project would be done in multiple phases, and only small areas would be closed at any given time.
However, they now believe it might make more sense to close a larger portion to protect walkers and provide a larger
lay -down area for the crews. She summarized that the project is currently on schedule, and the 60% design submittals
are due on August 8tn
Mr. McChesney added that he is happy with the progress being made on the project. The 60% design submittal will
be a crucial milestone, as it will allow them to start the Joint Aquatic Resource Permit Application (JARPA) process.
Simultaneous with that permit process will be the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and Shoreline Permit
application review. He reported that the City of Edmonds has been very cooperative and helpful, and he expects the
SEPA review and Shoreline Permit will be completed in a reasonable period of time. However, the timeline for the
JARPA process is still unknown.
Commissioner Faires pointed out that once the 60% designs have been submitted to the Federal Government for the
JARPA Permit, it will be difficult for the Port to change anything. He asked if the schedule includes an opportunity
for the Commission and staff to have a robust discussion with the consultants about the 60% designs before they are
submitted as part of permit applications. Mr. McChesney answered that the designs would be presented to the
Commission for review and comment prior to submitting the permit applications.
Commissioner Faires asked if the Port owes anything to the consultants that could hold them up at all with regard to
the 60% design. Ms. Williams answered that the consultants are waiting for the Port's feedback regarding the 30%
designs, and staff is working with CG Engineering to prepare that information now. Mr. McChesney summarized that
the Port's obligations to the consultants have all been met, and there haven't been any major hang ups that will impact
the schedule.
Commissioner Johnston pointed out that the Port would be the lead agency for the SEPA review. He observed that,
once the 30% designs have been submitted, the process will be iterative and decisions, and likely amendments, will
need to be made as the project progresses.

Commissioner Harris commented that it is important to have touchpoints built into the schedule for the
Administration/Maintenance Building Project as they consider opportunities for LEED. Mr. McChesney announced
that the project received approval from the Architectural Design Review Board. It is now moving forward to final
design, and there will likely be several iterations. The Commission will have an opportunity to review the plans before
they go out to bid. He advised that LEED will impact the design schedule a little, but they expect to have building
permits in hand before the end of 2021. The plan is to start construction in the 1 It
quarter of 2022.
Commissioner Faires asked if the Architectural Design Board was interested in the LEED elements that might be
included in the project. Mr. McChesney said he was careful to point out that the building would be LEED Certified,
and the Board was very encouraged by that. Absent LEED Certification, the Board may have been a bit more forceful
with their design questions and issues. It helped to elevate their confidence in the project, and they approved it without
any additional conditions.
Commissioner Preston asked if the contracts for the project will address the volatility of the supply prices. Mr.
McChesney responded that they won't know this until they go out for bid, but it would be unusual for a contract to
have escalator/de-escalator clauses to protect the contractor and Port.
CITY OF EDMONDS REPORT
Council Member Olsen reported that the City Council is currently considering a master permit for a 5G project, and
she welcomed input from the Commissioners and Port staff.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Mr. McChesney reviewed that the Commission and staff have discussed a plan for going back to in -person
Commission meetings. No specific date has been identified yet, but he recommended starting on June 28'. He noted
that staff members who can demonstrate vaccination are no longer required to wear masks.
Commissioner Harris recalled that they previously discussed using a hybrid approach so that people who aren't
comfortable attending in -person meetings can still participate. Port Attorney Stephens advised that, while in -person
meetings are allowed to resume, there is still a mandatory remote component that must be provided. The
Commissioners agreed to switch to hybrid meetings starting June 28th, with the Commissioners and staff attending in
person and the public participating via Zoom. Commissioner Orvis noted that the Commission meetings will likely
be some form of hybrid for some time into the future, since it allows people to participate without the stress of coming
to the actual meeting.
Mr. McChesney advised that he would be setting up a Finance Committee meeting sometime in the next few weeks
to start focusing on project financing. Although cost estimates are a way off, it is time to start putting together some
scenarios and models. Ms. Drennan has prepared some possible options to share with the Finance Committee.
COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS AND COMMITTEE REPORTS
Commissioner Orvis said he participated in the meeting with CG Engineering to review the 30% designs for the North
Portwalk and Seawall Reconstruction. He is looking forward to the 60% designs that will include the comments
provided at that meeting.
Commissioner Orvis announced that he would participate in the virtual Washington Public Port Association's
(WPPAs) Legislative Affairs Meeting on June 171h. The discussion will focus on potential items of discussion at the
next legislative session. Commissioner Johnston announced that he would participate in the legislative session, as
well.
Commissioner Faires asked if any of Commissioner Orvis' discussion with CG Engineering led him to conclusions
about construction costs. Commissioner Orvis said he estimates the project will likely cost $20 million, and the Port
needs to start looking for grant opportunities.

Commissioner Faires reported that he attended a tour and presentation of the Willow Creek Fish Hatchery with
Commissioner Harris on June 71. In addition to showing them around the hatchery, they explained their activities and
how the Port plays a role in their work. He more fully appreciates the hatchery's contribution to the local environment
now. Commissioner Johnston said he participated in a tour of the Willow Creek Fish Hatchery last year and agreed
that it is a fantastic facility, and the Port's support is highly valued. Commissioner Harris added that they had a great
discussion with Lisa Syravong and Brooke Skowyra. Having worked for the Port of Edmonds, Ms. Skowyra had
fantastic things to say about the Port's support of the hatchery. She also shared some great ideas that she discussed
with Ms. Williams last week. Ms. Williams will be contacting both Ms. Syravong and Ms. Skowyra to discuss
opportunities to highlight the hatchery's activities via social media. She asked that Ms. Williams forward the
information and videos that were provided in the email to the Commissioners.
Commissioner Faires announced that he would attend the Edmonds Economic Development Commission Meeting on
June 161. He said he is still trying to set up a meeting with Commissioner Harris, Mr. McChesney, and the president
of the EDC to discuss economic business development at the waterfront, and particularly the Waterfront Center.
Commissioner Johnston reported that he attended the Architectural Design Board Meeting on June 2°d, where the
Board reviewed the Port's design for the new administration/maintenance building. The review went smoothly, and
he agreed that the prospect of a LEED Certified building was very attractive to them and allowed them to reach final
approval without conditions.
Commissioner Johnston further reported that he attended a WPPA Virtual Roundtable on June 8t` on how small
businesses faired in the latter stages of the pandemic. It was reported that most are recovering. About 75% of them
applied for government assistance to get them through and most are expected to get relief in total from their
obligations. Nationally and regionally, the availability of labor is in short supply, but more people are starting to look
for work as unemployment benefits are slowly phased out. There are also severe supply chains shortages, particularly
lumber and other building materials. However, lumber prices have trended in the right direction over the past few
weeks. They can expect increased fuel and food costs, and ultimately higher inflation overall. Businesses are
generally looking for sales and inventories to start trending up, but it will take a while. They expect compensation and
salaries to start trending up, as well, to attract workers in a tough labor market. They have significant inflation worries
as the recovery continues.
Commissioner Johnston said he attended the Economic Alliance of Snohomish County's (EASCs) Annual Meeting
on June 10', where they celebrated their 10t' anniversary. It was reported that Snohomish County's economy is
springing back to life, and there is much optimism across most sectors of the economy throughout the County, but it
will take time. The new CEO, Gary Clark, appears to be a vibrant leader who will take the EASC forward in the right
direction.
Commissioner Johnston said he visited the Edmonds Waterfront Center on June 111. He encouraged other
Commissioners to tour the new facility, too, as it provides a good example of how feasible it will be for the Port to get
to LEED Silver and possibly Gold Certification with the new Administration/Maintenance Building. For example,
using more recycled materials could springboard the project to a higher certification. Commissioner Harris added that
participating in a tour of the Edmonds Waterfront Center got her excited about the possibilities for LEED Certification,
as well.
Commissioner Preston said he also attended the EASC's Annual Meeting on June 101, as well as the Edmonds Yacht
Club's virtual meeting on June 111 where they discussed the responsibilities of the different levels of officers. They
have been doing a lot of cruising already this year, and they have a full summer schedule. The facility can once again
be rented for events. The yacht club was very interested in the anticipated closures and disruptions associated with
the Portwalk construction, and he suggested they contact Ms. Williams for details.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
At 7:39 p.m. Commissioner Harris announced that the Commission would recess into an Executive Session pursuant
to RCW 42.30.110(1)(i) to discuss with legal counsel representing agency matters relating to agency enforcement
actions, or to discuss the legal counsel representing the agency litigation or potential litigation to which the agency,
the governing body, or member acting in an official capacity is, or is likely to become, a party to. She advised that the

1. Call to Order:
The meeting was called to order at 6:02 p.m. by Co -Chair Nate Nehring.
1.a. Introductions/Roll Call
Roll call was taken (as listed above).
1.b. Citizen Comments
David Toyer spoke to item 5.b. He felt public should be able to sit in on subcommittee meetings.
By the time issues get to hearings it is too late to affect them.
2. Approval of Meeting Minutes (5-26-21)
Bryan Wahl moved to approve the minutes of May 26, 2021, as written. Barbara Tolbert
seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
3. Update Items
a. Summary of PSRC Board Actions and Activities
Ben Bakkenta reported on the Executive- and Growth Management Policy Board activities. He
invited members to a PSRC event on building a foundation for social equity. All PSRC meetings
will be virtual in July. Hybrid meetings will start in September.
b. EASC
Garry Clarke reported that EASC held their annual meeting virtually.
4. Action Items
a. PSRC Regional Staff Committee Representative for Cities
Bryan Wahl moved to approve Russ Wright. Russell Wiita seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously.
b. Agenda Bill: Buildable Lands Report (BLR)
[This discussion took place prior to item 4.a.] Brett Gailey said he was not comfortable taking
action on the BLR tonight. Concern was expressed that the CPPs would be delayed, if the BLR
decision was postponed.
Steve Toy reported that the jurisdictions' staff on PAC had passed the BLR unanimously. Josh
Dugan said that the county executive would be concerned about delay of process. He asked what
would be gained by delaying it. Other actions later in the process would be affected.
Mr. Kartak stated that if a city feels that their issues haven't been addressed then he supports
delaying it. Elizabeth Vogeli agreed.
Bryan Wahl asked if members were voting only for their cities or on behalf of the whole county. If
the latter then he supports delaying the vote.
Mike McCrary pointed out the tight timeframe (June 30, 2021 deadline under GMA). Delaying a
vote will mean we will not meet that deadline.
Mike Appleby said that the building/development community is concerned that the BLR reports
that there is adequate land supply.
Russell Wiita preferred discussion only tonight. The public engagement timeline does not allow us
to look closely at the report.
Barbara Tolbert said she wanted to discuss the BLR tonight; it is important and merits better
discussion. Bob Champion also agreed it should be a discussion item tonight.
Brett Gailey made a motion to move the BLR to Discussion Items for tonight. John Kartak
seconded, and the motion passed unanimously

(Moved down the agenda into briefings)
c. Agenda Bill: 2022 Preliminary Dues
Ms. Pruitt described the projected SCT expenses for 2022. She noted that revenues continue to
be less than expenses and that SCT's reserve will be gone in about three years if dues continue
at a 4.5% level. The Executive Committee will look at this and come back next year this time with
a strategy.
Russell Wiita moved to give preliminary approval to the 2022 dues increase of 4.5% as shown on
the attached Exhibit 2. Bob Champion and the motion passed unanimously.
5. Briefings, Discussion Items
Buildable Lands Report
Steve Toy outlined the data and findings of the BLR.
Members asked what the difference is between planned capacity for lots versus the actual
capacity. They expressed concern that the availability of land does not reflect houses sold since
2019 and that it does not show an accurate picture of housing availability and increased costs.
Some felt that the BLR, in setting 2019 as the point of study, contributes to the high price of
housing by overestimating the available land. Members also asked why the BLR was not done
two years later — closer to the timing of growth targets. They expressed concern that cities would
just say they will increase density even though an expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary was
needed. They also asked what the consequences would be if the BLR was wrong and how the
number of homes are planned for. Some wanted to know if the Growth Management Act (GMA)
dictates to cities what their densities should be and whether GMA policies will result in cities we
want to live in.
His presentation can be viewed here.
a. Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs)
Mitchell Brouse asked the members to please review the CPP changes with staff and send any
comments and proposed changes by July 16th. Mr. Brouse confirmed that any proposals would
be sent to the Steering Committee one week ahead of time.
b. Public attendance at SCT Subcommittees
Ms. Tolbert, Mr. Gailey and Mr. Nehring stated that the public adds expertise to subjects being
considered by SCT. Mr. Kartak said that the public should be involved early. The Executive
Committee will sort out the details and bring this issue back to the Steering Committee for the
July 28, 2021 meeting.
c. Coordinator's Report
Ms. Pruitt brought the SCT committees report to the attention of the members.
6. Future Agenda Items

7. Go -Round
Not discussed.
8. Next Meeting Date
July 28, 2021; 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm.
