Michelle Bennett
Councilmembers interviewed Chief Michelle Bennett (answers in italics):
Opening statement: I am Michelle Bennett. I grew up in Eastern Washington, born in Richland and raised
in Moses Lake. Came to Western Washington for high school, attended Shoreline High School my freshman
year, graduated from Shorecrest High School. I was an exchange student in another country and learned
to speak another language my senior year which was a very positive experience. Returned, started college
and was hired by the EPD as police cadet internship during college when I was 19 or 20. Hired by the King
County Sheriff's Office in 1990 as a patrol officer. Went to the academy, graduated and came to the
Shoreline area as my first assignment. Worked a number of assignments starting in Shoreline. I was in the
undercover unit, spent time as afield training officer, and spent time as one of the pilot school resource

officers, in 1995 in the Northshore School District. Worked as a master police officer or corporal and then
was selected to teach at the statepolice academy, Iwas a tach officer and taught criminalprocedures which
is basically constitutional law, what you can and can't do with caselaw in the departments.
I was promoted to the rank of sergeant and served in the north area and southeast for several years. I was
selected as the street crimes sergeant for a period of time as well as the FTO sergeant for a period of time.
I was the storefront sergeant and floor sergeant in Shoreline and then selected as Chief of Police in the
City of Maple Valley where I spent ten years. I started a number of community programs, very good
experience. Came out of there as an administrative captain, spent time in the civil unit, property unit,
records unit, facilities, vehicle fleets, diversity recruiting. Was the LGBTQ liaison for the Sheriff's Office
and a host of other duties and assignments including records and data. Selected as the Chief of Police for
the City of Sammamish, spent three years there and came out from there to be promoted to the rank of
major, sent to work directly with the sheriff, responsible for creating 5-year strategic plan, biennial budget
and operations plan for the Sheriff's Office, wrote the Wellness and Resiliency Policy, wrote the Body Cam
Policy and was the liaison to the Office of Law Enforcement Oversight, a group that oversees law
enforcement practices.
I retired from the Sheriff's Office January 17, 2021 after almost 31 years. Lasted 61 days and then came to
the City of Edmonds to begin work as the Interim Police Chief. I love to play soccer, softball, trail running
have four beautiful children and do a lot of gardening. Went to Central Washington University for
bachelors and master's degrees. Master's degree in organizational development and behavior, basically
workplace psychology degree. Very interesting doing consulting work in different agencies. From there, I
started a couple consulting businesses, specifically centered around bullying and teaching school
prevention for bullying. Part of that was via a Department of Justice grant for $50, 000 when I worked in
Shoreline to develop an anti -bullying curriculum that went nationwide, teaching at conferences and
distributing the curriculum to various educational institutions.
My doctorate is in education with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction through Seattle University;
my dissertation topic was on bullying prevention which eventually led to my consultant work in workplace
bullying. When people hit the age of 18, they do not necessarily stop all the behaviors they have done all
their lives, it just is called something different. I've spent the last 15 years going into different police
agencies, government agencies, schools, higher education and a variety of other places taking about
workplace bullying and how to prevent it, Creating Civil Workplaces is the title of the presentation. I have
a big passion for fairness and civility and how we treat each other, both internally and externally. That has
been my life passion at work, even during my time as an employee of the Sheriff's Office as well as in
Edmonds.
Councilmember Olson: Thank you for coming to Edmonds in its time of need. Everybody has been
following the national discussion about policing reform and appreciating the reason behind it. At the same
time, we're a community that does appreciate law and order. Why do you think you're the right person to
navigate that balancing act here in Edmonds? Do you mean the legislative initiatives and changes and how
we police or? Not specifically but the movement toward a gentler, more interactive, less dealing with the
here and now in the moment and being more relationship based and getting to root causes, and trying not
to treat everything as a criminal justice issue and at the same time, trying to keep neighborhoods nice and
safe and not having break-ins, vandalism and other things that people do not want to go unchecked but at
the same time, may not be criminal things. The legislation is part of it, the state is responding to some of
those initiatives. Also the City's own philosophies of trying to be a softer, gentler police force and yet still
in the end being successful at having law and order in the community. You hit the nail on the head. That
has been not only a local movement for many communities but also a state legislative movement now. I
think that started at the Criminal Justice Training Commission when Sue Rahr took over there and changed
the tagline to guardians instead of warriors which was sort of the previous thought process.

7.1.a
Nationally, we started in 2014 with the Ferguson incident which led to the 21 S` Century Task Force on
Policing led by then President Obama. So he had six basic pillars of what we can do to enhance policing,
building trust and legitimacy was one of the first ones; that comes into accountability. Police oversight is
also part of accountability with trust and legitimacy. Technology and social media will be a huge piece of
that; the message we are relaying of our work, what we can and can't do, how we can do crime prevention
in the community and again connecting with community members. Communitypolicing and crime reduction
was a huge part of the 21" Century Task Force, specifically related to how do we get out in the community,
how are we relating to community members, the police are the public, the public are the police, are we
listening. Last night was National Night Out, crime prevention materials were handed out at various
National Night Out locations, talking with community members and kids.
Part of that is the community engagement piece which is one of the exciting things in Edmonds. One of my
biggest passions in policing is creating community engagement programs and allowing the public to get to
know you as a person. I heard a story yesterday from a person at a National Night Out event who said
English was not their second language, and when they had an issue, an Edmonds officer called him by
name and knew him. He was comforted that someone in the police department knew him, and it completely
quelled all his fears. Engaging with the public and building trust is important as are training and education,
anti -bias training, crisis reduction/intervention and officer wellness and safety. Those all correlate as the
six pillars to address how we relate to the community.
Council President Paine: How would you integrate the new laws in Washington State into the policies and
procedures for the Edmonds Police Department? If you could provide specifics, that would be helpful. In
integration we have developed general orders that provide the guidance we need on the ground for officers
initially. We've been working with our attorneys, Lighthouse Law, particularly Sharon who has been
working closely with our staff. Each sergeant was assigned one of the bills that impact policing and they
created groups to address every word within the legislation and then worked with the attorneys to build
policies around that which led to the general orders that were sent out. My directed community message
went out yesterday and I'm working with the video unit to put together five short, hopefully watchable
videos that describe how the legislative initiatives might impact policing for them or the community.
Going out into the public is another big piece. Most of the questions at yesterday's National Night Out were
about the legislative changes and how that will impact citizens in their everyday life, what can and can't
the police do. The big message in leading this department is we're not going to stop patrol, going out on
community patrols. We're not going to sit in the station and wait for a 911 call and then go out. We will be
out and present as a community force and community engagement, building relationships with people,
being service oriented which is why everyone got into the job in the first place. It might just be different
ways that things in policing have to be done, probably cause versus reasonable suspicion, removing less
than lethal munitions because of the SO caliber rule, but those can be replaced with ones that don't break
that law but are still a less than lethal force.
Training and education is a huge piece of in-service training; what do each of these legislative initiatives
mean for the department? Not just the definition, but what does it mean in action, scenario based training.
Breaking it down into what we can and can't do and when. I've also been meeting with legislators to discuss
some of the unintended consequences of some of the legislation and what can be done to fix it or make it
better. I hope to continue to be a big part of that push with the legislative body to address some of the
unintended consequences that may not have been foreseen. All those things together are pieces of how we
are integrating the new legislation into this community.
That messaging on social media, the message that we're out and about, the visibility of being out and about,
I would never want anyone in the Edmonds community to feel like we're de policing or we're not going to

be out or we're not going to contact people. I think that's a woe -is -me attitude or sour grapes and I don't
agree with it. There are some agencies locally that have told their staff to sit in the station until they get a
911 call and not go out otherwise. I completely disagree with that; we are community stewards, that's our
role. We might do things a little different, create more time, distance and space, do more investigative work
prior to establishingprobable cause, but we will maintain community safety, maintain police response and
have the training and policy in place. We have the two main, 1054 and 1310, we have those policies in
place and drafted and the in-service training is already written in our training unit. Ifeel good about what
we've done; it's not me, it's all the work of the sergeants that have taken each one of these on and done
research. I reached out to other chiefs in the community to borrow, appropriate and utilize their policies
to see what they have done with their legal advisers. My staff has done an amazing jobputting that together
on time and we're ready to go.
Councilmember Distelhorst: Police leaders must sometimes made decisions that are unpopular with the
public, with employees and staff or even with themselves. Please describe a specific time when you had to
make such a difficult decision, the response you encountered either from the public, staff or yourself and
how you handled that response. Probably one of the most difficult things has been the new legislation, there
will always be conflict because 50% of the people love it and 50% of the people hate it whether internally
or externally. One of the really difficult issues borne out of the 1054 and 1310 house bills was the less than
lethal 50 caliber, we call them sage launchers, it basically launches beanbag rounds, which has been
effective in incapacitating people instead of using deadly force. There was recently a domestic violence
where the person had a gun. We negotiated for a very long time. He wouldn't drop the gun. Several orders
were issued. He was in conflict with his wife and son, it was a dangerous situation and we had the North
South Metro SWAT Team trying to talk to him and create distance, dialogue and crisis intervention.
Eventually as he was getting more ramped up, we were able to use that less than lethal which incapacitated
him to the point where he dropped the gun and we were able to handcuff him without incident.
That's how you always want things to go, the community is safe, the public is safe, the family is safe, he's
safe because no one wants to be involved in the use of deadly force, and we were able to solve that and take
him to jail. House Bill 1054 and 1310, specifically 1054, outlaws legally the use of less than lethal launchers
because they are over 50 caliber which is what the law specifically states. It is not a popular decision,
telling all your officers you have to remove your less than lethal from your vehicles based on law. Half the
people were happy about it because they felt very uncomfortable having those and the other half were upset
because this is a tool we need. The public also expects the police to have less than lethal, no one wants a
use of force encounter involving deadly force and wherever possible avoid that. I did a lot of research,
spoke with Washington State Police Chief and Sheriffs executive Board Steve Strand and Jim McMann who
are the leaders in Washington State, kept getting different opinions, it wasn't really legislators' intent to
remove those but they're not willing yet to make a statement or change the legislation.
We talked to the attorney general's office but they haven't made any statements either even though they
said they might. Then WA COPS and FOP, the two local union organizations in the state issued very strong
statements that absolutely less than lethal shouldn't be in the vehicles, that it's civil liability, etc. The state
academy issued a statement saying we don't think we'd decertify someone if they used less than lethal. But
when it comes down to the law, if there's ambiguity, you always follows the letter of the law. By keeping
less than lethal in vehicles, which is now illegal, I'm putting officers in a state where they have a less than
lethal available and HB 1310 says you'll use all means up until lethal force, so if they use less than lethal
they're using 1310, but if they use the less than lethal, they're violating 1054 which mandates immediate
decertification as well as the potential for criminal charges and civil liability. It's like the impossible
situation to be in; if you leave them in vehicles, they are darned either way; if you take then out, you've
taken away a tool.

7.1.a
It was very difficult and there were a lot of conversations within the department and with the Mayor, and I
probably spent two or three sleepless nights because there are ethic things and morals that come with that.
Bottomline we were told by Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace that if they see less than lethal in our
vehicles, they will report our officers to the state for decertification. Obviously the right decision is to
remove them; however, in removing them, it is necessary to find less than lethal that does not violate state
law. We've been able to locate, although they're on backorder, a number ofdifferent less than lethal options
that might not be quite as effective but are still effective. We're letting our staff know this is what we have,
we're still going to protect you and the community, we just have to do it a little differently.
Councilmember L. Johnson: Given your research, insight and expertise, what challenges and/or
opportunities both internal and external facing have you identified that are specific though not necessarily
exclusive to Edmonds? It's been a learning experience for me coming from an outside agency and a
different county. I've been able to look at it with afresh lens which can be beneficial. It's a huge learning
curve but it's also a way to look at things in a different way and if I hear one more time, that's the way
we've always done things, I may explode. It's become a running joke because the next time I'm handed a
stack ofpaper to sign, I ask why isn't this online? Some of the things with my research, insight and expertise
and reading publications and living it in a different agency, one of the biggest things is we have no
complaint tracking system in the City of Edmonds. So if you file a complaint, we take it on the phone and
potentially nothing is done. Bestpractices for law enforcement is to have a complaint tracking system which
for most agencies is called IAPro or Blue Team, a way of tracking complaints.
We take all complaints, you don't poo poo any of them. We take then, we track them, not only does the
system take complaints and give accurate descriptions of those complaints and investigative steps, it also
tracks use of force incidents specifically down to where on the body force was used. It has an early warning
intervention system for officers if they have too many pursuits and uses of force in a row. It also ties
performance evaluations, which are all done by hand now, into this system which also take
accommodations, supervisor action logs, etc. It's all online and it's all by person which is huge. I can't tell
you how many piece of paper I sign each day and it's like uploaded into the computer and put in a file. The
problem with doing it that way is you can't draw data out of that system. We need to be able to do data
analytics so we need that system. The first overarching theme is systems; we need a complaint tracking
system, use of force tracking system, pursuit tracking system, performance evaluation tracking system, and
a training system. Apparently the 2019 firearms records were lost for a time because they were all in a box;
we can't do that, they need to be electronic or cloud -based. Developing systems is probably the biggest
insight since I've arrived here.
Number two is community engagement programs, we don't have any. We need a community academy, a
volunteer program, an Explorer program, having the community engagement officer on board, doing
outreach and tying social media into that. I could go on for hours. Community engagement is important.
Third is related to how we communicate. Internally communication is improving; I've met with each officer
individually which has been a huge piece of that communication, sending out regular communication. The
organization goes from sergeant to assistant chief which is very bizarre so there's no mid -level management
which helps with transparency and accountability. I would look at, using the least amount of money
possible, how to restructure how we do things to have more transparency and accountability within our
staff which will enhance communication. Those are the three big, huge things, if Fm still here, that will be
budget decision packages, to help enhance what the police department does and being accountable and
apparent both internally and externally.
Councilmember Buckshnis: Thank you for your resume, it was very nicely done. As you know, my
background is finance. The Edmonds Police Department has a $12 million budget. Over the past ten years
if not longer, there has consistently been $400,000 in overtime. With the national talk of defunding or
potentially defunding portions of the police department, what is your opinion about the Crisis Assistance
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
August 4, 2021
Page 5
Packet Pg. 9
7.1.a
Helping Out on the Streets (CAHOOTS) model which has been well received in many cities, what is your
opinion about using such a private -public partnership and do you think it could have an impact on our
budget? Good question and something a lot of agencies have been working towards. When I was in
Sammamish we were working with the legislators there, I think it was Kathy Lambert who had $40, 000 to
embed social workers within the department in Sammamish or that was something we were working toward
before I was promoted. I think the model is good, popular or not, my belief has always been law enforcement
should work in a team environment. The purpose of law enforcement is protecting and serving person and
property. So if we're able to work in a team where we respond to a crisis event, law enforcement needs to
render it safe first.
There was an incident where a social worker was sent first and unfortunately thatperson was stabbed over
40 times because of the mental instability of the person they were addressing. We can't negate the safety
piece of law enforcement rendering a volatile situation safe first. Once that safety has been ensured,
whatever that looks like, whatever the issue is, whether it's crisis or mental health, addiction, unhoused or
other social service need, it is really important to bring in the folks with social service experience to solve
the problem. It doesn't help to pick up an unhoused person and drive them to the next county or city and
drop them off. It doesn't help to arrest someone with addiction problems or mental health issues when
we're not getting to the underlying cause because we'll just arrest them again and again, not really serving
what we need to serve. There was community court processes that Edmonds had for a while, but I
understand it went away.
I studied the Redmond model when I was in Sammamish; they have court where if someone chooses
diversion, they go into the lobby and all the social services are in the lobby and they can partake in those
services to get the help they needed. That is a brilliant model to get to the bottom of the iceberg, what is the
actual problem? Working in teams and having a private public partnership in that way as long as it's safe
is brilliant. I know the City is trying to hire a social worker. There were apparently problems from the last
time that person was here, but it's an amazing idea and how we need to do policing in the future. Let's stop
this didactic method of arrest, jail, rehabilitate. The systems is kind of broken and it's exciting to think
about now with public support and a lot of legislative support looking at alternatives to how we've done
business. The goal isn't to arrest someone and take them to jail, the goal is to solve your problem and make
you as healthy a person as you can be. We're here to assist.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas: Thank you Chief Bennett for applying for the job. Policing is stressful,
changing and has a high occurrence of burnout in the field. How do you support adding resiliency to your
team knowing that stressed out officers don't always make the best decisions? You're absolutely right. Not
only having that stressed out, mentally stressedperson not making the best decisions internally, they don't
make the best decisions externally, so it's a huge issue that was really coming to a head prior to the George
Floyd incident where there was actually national legislation looking at helping with wellness and resiliency.
I don't think those things have disappeared, they are just more on the back burner. During my time with
the Sheriff's Office, I was asked to develop a wellness and resiliency policy for the Sheriff's Office which
has about 1, 000 members. I wrote a job description and a policy with 11 subcategories for how we can
provide wellness and resiliency for officers. That position was called the WARD (Wellness And Resiliency
Deputy). When the position was funded, there is a therapy dog that accompanies her to sites throughout
the county.
Peer support is a huge piece; there is a very robust peer support program in Edmonds. There are so many
other things that could be done, I could list the 11 different methodologies, but I will cover the highlights.
Issaquah Police Chief Scott Behrbaum has a financial counselor, nutritionist, and PTSD person come in
once a week, open and available to police staff. Another important thing is physical health; two friends my
age dropped from massive heart attacks who had no idea and I wouldn't have thought they were at risk.
There is a program where a cardiologist comes into the station and anonymously tests for blockages. I

would love to see Edmonds take the lead in allowing officers on -duty to get an annual physical. It's covered
by insurance and would have to be anonymous so there are no union issues. That would help with
identifying health issues and doing preventative maintenance instead of reactive maintenance.
Mentally, I'm working with the mental health counselor for this area both in Snohomish and Counties about
PTSD and in -the -moment resiliency; while someone is in the middle of call, how to calm themselves down,
steps to take after the call. I was president of the King County Chiefs Association, the current president of
the FBI National Academy Association and on the WASPC Legislative Committee; those organizations
agreed to work together and signed an MOU to develop a statewide available wellness and resiliency
policy. One of the first pieces of that is an app that has wellness and resiliency folks that officers can contact
for mental health issues, sleep disorders, nutrition, etc. It is very important to address this; I had a sergeant
I worked with for 20 years who took his own life two years ago which no one saw coming. It haunts them
all every day, what can we do to prevent that before it happens?
Councilmember K. Johnson: What experience have you had or what ideas do you have for collaboration
with local healthcare for facilities and emergency departments or interventions to address the opioid crisis?
First my experience, while I was in Sammamish, we had two fentanyl overdoses of teen boys, both 16, both
athletes. The reason I believe there were fatal results in both was they had taken a Percocetpill laced with
fentanyl and immediately gone to bed. In both instances, they were found dead by family members in the
morning from an opioid overdose. That made statewide news so the Sheriff and I worked with the Street
Crimes Unit to address who was dealing, they were able to find the person who provided those which is the
enforcement piece. Part of it was media; I worked with the school district to put on a town hall meeting
held at Central Washington University campus in Sammamish open to all members of the public. A similar
thing happened in Maple Valley when I was the chief, a drug crisis in the high school and they did a town
hall meeting there as well.
The town hall included a doctor to talk about the effects, people to describe drug kits, parent education, a
program called Hidden in Plain Sight where parents are invited to unlock the bedroom of a teenager so
they can spot what drug use and paraphernalia look like, there are about SO items and most people have
no idea. The school resource officers and the drug unit also talked. The second piece is working with non-
profits; while in Sammamish I started a healthy communities coalition where approximately 50 nonprofits,
many of whom were doing the same thing but weren't talking to each other, were invited to the police
department which included the fire department, faith based organizations, school district, etc. and voted
on the top four issues facing the city, one of which was drugs and alcohol among youth. They began putting
together a number of programs to address it with drug dependency counselors, school counselors,
educational programs, specialists making presentations on drugs and the impacts they can have. There
were also youth panelists who talked about their stresses. It is interesting how law enforcement or adults
tell kids what needs to be done to fix a problem; but really the kids need to tell us this is what we're
experiencing and how you can help.
For adults, the community court idea of actually getting to the addictive problem, getting to the core of the
problem versus taking someone to jail, having a diversion program. Snohomish County has a heroin or
opioid diversion program where instead of going to jail, you choose a treatment option. Last time I talked
to the Sheriff, it had a 75% success rate. We need alternative methods to how we've always done things to
address this horrible crisis which has taken so many lives. In King County, all officers have Narcan kits so
part of how this is addressed by using hospitals and treatment centers is to make sure Narcan kits area
issued to people struggling with addiction which will at least help with fatalities.
Wrap Up: I would like to take any follow-up questions. Councilmember Buckshnis: How would CAHOOTS
impact the budget? There is already money in the budget for the social worker and Human Services
Program. I don't think there will be a huge impact to the budget because it's already been slated. It's really

just staff time helping to coordinate that and working with a lot of nonprofits so it could be pretty budget
neutral.
I've enjoyed my time in Edmonds, I love the community. When I came here I had really no thought of
applying for the permanent job and after I was here for a little while, I thought this place was amazing. The
officers are great, the community is fantastic and there's so much potential in this agency to really move
forward in a very positive way with community engagement and doing things a little bit differently which
sometimes is scary for folks but as they get into it, they can see how impactful and effective we can be. It's
kind of like having the perfect sand and we just have to structure it in a way that's beneficial with input
from all to make sure we're the best police department we can be and that's exciting for me.
Dante Orlandi
Councilmembers interviewed Major Dante Orlandi (answers in italics):
Opening statement: I'd like to thank all of you for this opportunity. I know you have busy schedules and a
lot on your plates so I appreciate the time you're taking to do this process and inviting me here to be part
of the process. I worked for 34 years with the Pennsylvania State Police. The only reason that I'm not there
now is I had to retire. We have mandatory retirement so I had no choice but to retire. In fact the
commissioner who is a friend of mine, we actually looked into it a little further and we both knew
legislatively there was nothing else we could do but retire. I have a passion for law enforcement; I love
being part of the community, part of improving the world and making it a better place. As a little boy, the
only thing I ever wanted to do was be a police officer. In fact in 1978 when I was 18 years old, I wrote
letters across the country seeing ifl couldget a job in law enforcement. I even did some stuff in Washington,
but of course no one would hire an 18 year old. So I waited until I turned 21 and started applying to the
Pennsylvania State Police.
I was hired in the 80s, 34-35 years ago and like most people that become troopers, I started in patrol. I
worked patrol, crime, and undercover operations, I supervised patrol, undercover and criminal
investigations, everything from organized crime to multiple homicides, officer involved shootings, have
been involved in a lot of things throughout my career. Then I worked my way up and I became a captain
and I was the director of drug law enforcement. For those unfamiliar with Pennsylvania State Police, it is
the ninth largestpolice department in the country. There's 6,351 total complement with an operating budget
of about $1.1 billion. I was the director of drug law enforcement therefor two years, involved in all types
of drug investigations for the entire state. Then I was moved to become a troop commander where I was
responsible for a complement of about 265 personnel at 5 stations within 4 counties and an operating
budget of about $4.3 million. Reading is about 50-60 miles from Philadelphia.
I was then promoted to captain where I was one of three area commanders responsible basically for the
whole state. The state was broken down into three parts, east, west and central and I was the area
commander for about 1500 people and 8 stations which equates to about 36 different police stations and
responsible for everything from building a new station to human resources to resource allocations to risk
management, everything associated with a police organization. I had a lot of experience with diverse groups
ofpeople. When I first got on the job, I was stationed at Avondale which was located outside Philadelphia
and there was a dividing area where people like the Duponts were from, where Jackie Onassis would fly in
for horse shows and right next to it was the migrant mushroom camps. One day I went to the artist Andrew
Wyatt's house and the next day I'm dealing with people who can't speak English or who are impoverished.
The gamut of experience reaches far.
The Pennsylvania State Police isn't like a lot of other state police organizations where they are highway
patrol; we were full service department that does everythingfrom thefts to organized crime, from a mounted
detail to various crisis intervention units, etc. You name it, that's what I was responsible for. And then Igot

to the point in my career, everybody works for the day they get to retire. I never wanted to do that; I never
had any desire at all to retire. Due to mandatory retirement, I had no choice. Once I retired, I lined up a
few things, but then COVID hit and things didn't work out. It kills me not to be apart of something greater
than myself which is the reason I came into law enforcement to begin with. It's something I don't look at
as a job, it's a passion, a calling, part of who I am and something I just love.
Councilmember Buckshnis: I thoroughly enjoyed your resume and thank you for your service. My
background is finance and I have a two part question. The Edmonds Police Department has a $12 million
budget, of which about $400,000 has consistently been for overtime for at least a decade. With the national
talk about defunding or potentially defunding portions of the police department, some cities have utilized
the Crisis Assistance Helping Out on the Streets (CAHOOTS) model where police join in a public -private
partnership with an NGO and work the streets together. What is your opinion about this model and do you
think implementing it would have a significant budget impact or no budget impact? It's difficult to say
because I don't have a full grasp of how that would work. For the most part having an NGO working with
police, it depends on their role. You do not want to put people in harm's way and often things happen very
quickly making it difficult to determine when that person should be there. I don't know how it is in
Washington, but in Pennsylvania, there are certain things that can and can't be done with civilian
personnel. For instance, going to a call where a father is having a dispute with their child, that is a private
thing and who gets to go becomes a question I can't answer for how that works in Washington. I would
have to know more specifics about what they would be involved in to make a good call.
My kneejerk reaction would be it doesn't sound like something that would be appropriate for a partnership.
Partnerships are great and I don't want to confuse things because I'm not 100% sure how it would play
out. If we had a mental health crisis person working with a law enforcement person, that might be a good
thing for the right circumstances. Issues would include when they are available, are they necessarily
available at 3 a.m. when that call is received, and other things that would need to be worked out. Those
partnerships could be good in the appropriate application.
Overtime has always been an issue with law enforcement and I've dealt with it 27 years as a supervisor,
17 years as a commander; a commander is basically like a chief of police. Overtime has always been an
issue; the responsibility of management and a leader is to be judicious about overtime. It's not my money
or their money, it's taxpayers' money and we need to utilize that money so it best affects the people we work
for and serve. I don't know if those partnerships would reduce the amount and could actually have an
inverse effect by requiring officers to wait for the NGO person to arrive. I think it's worth exploring but it
would be wrong for me to express an opinion when I do not have all the facts and exact details. But anytime
we can work together to solve a problem is a good thing. Councilmember Buckshnis: I understand the
differences between west coast and east coast; I have friends in Pennsylvania.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas: Understanding that policing is stressful, changing and has a high
occurrence of burnout in the field, how do you support and add resiliency to your team knowing that stressed
out officers don't always make the best decisions? One of the things I always did as a supervisor as a leader
is to look out for my folks and make sure they're happy, productive and content. You want to keep people
on an even keel, but there are great times when you get married or promoted, and there are those bad times
when you have a sick child or issues. It is up to us to make sure we're looking out for them. For example, I
had a polygraph operator who came into my office in tears because every time there was a homicide, a
crucial investigation without a lot of physical evidence, the burden was on him because everyone was
looking at the polygrapher to get that confession so it's crushing for them.
I had a big burly guy, Marine type in a forensic services unit in my office crying because he was tired of
going to see dead kids, dead bodies. The forensic services unit goes to autopsies, fires, crashes, etc. and it
is stressful and difficult. What's going on now with law enforcement and some communities not supporting
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

7.1.a
law enforcement makes it really difficult for them. They are our heroes who are out while we're sleeping
comfortable in our houses at night, they are out dealing with things we don't even want to hear about. We
have to look out for them. It's a stressful job and it's even more stressful with what's going on now.
Whatever an officer is going through, whether personal, financial, marital, substance abuse, etc. we need
to look out for them. We have peer contact; any time a supervisor sees someone whose behavior changes
such as reports turned in late, it does not require a formal counseling session but just going out for coffee
and talking about things which is usually where more information is shared about something going on in
thatperson's life.
Officers deal with people's problems all day long; who do they go to when they have problems?
Unfortunately it tends to be this hero, macho thing where they don't want to tell anyone they're upset about
something or that it disturbed them that a homeless person has no place to go and that there are no social
services available. We have to look out for them and the best way is as a commander making sure your
supervisors are aware, educated and trained to look beyond just the normal, everyday things that officers
are involved in. It's about caring for them, it's like they are my children, like having 1500 people that I'm
responsible for. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas thanked Major Orlandi for his service and the length of
his service.
Councilmember L. Johnson: Given your research, insight and/or expertise, what challenges or
opportunities, both internal and external facing, have you identified or suspect that are specific to Edmonds
but not necessarily exclusive to Edmonds? That's a tough one because anytime you say I'm going to come
in and I'm going to bring change and do A, B and C, it's almost insulting to the people that are there and
that they aren't doing a good job and there are issues. The only comments I can make are as an outsider.
Certainly I could read news articles, two commanders need to be hired and the department is down about
eight, but that is second, thirdhand information and I would be careful in saying I want to identify issues
when I don't really have the facts. I don't think that's fair to the community, the officers or the department
without having all the factual information. Edmonds will not be any different than many of the departments
around the country. You're facing hiring practices, you want to hire a diverse group of people, the same is
true around the country.
It's hard to attract people to the police department at this point. When I was hired, there were thousands
signing up for the testing; there was no advertising for the next test because so many people were applying.
Now it's a different story. There's things that can be done to increase hiring. Training is always an issue;
the better trained officers are, the better they can protect themselves which means less lawsuits. When they
are better trained, more than likely they will not be involved in as many lawsuits which means there's not
$10 million out the door, that $10 million that can be budgeted for community, parks, recreation and other
things and not wasted because an officer did something they shouldn't have done and could have been
easily rectified by training and education. There are many things, whether budgetary issues, using resource
multipliers to combine resources to effectively get the job done. These are all things that are broad base
around the country and I'm sure Edmonds is similar and having their issues as well.
Councilmember Distelhorst: Having family connections to Reading, I have fond memories of Jimmy
Cramer's Peanut Bar. Police leaders must sometimes make decisions which are unpopular with the public,
with employees or even with themselves. Please describe a specific time when you had to make such a
difficult decision, the response you encountered and how you dealt with it. The one thing that I can recall
was dealing with informants. When I was doing undercover work years ago, there was a need to document
informants. So there were all these salty old undercover troopers that didn't want to document their
informants. There were many reasons for documenting informants, whether it was because an informant
was killed, playing both sides of the fence, troopers saying they were paying informants when they were
actually pocketing the money, male and female encounters, who was liable if something happened to an
informant, etc. There was an unpopular decision made to require us to document informants. We required
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
August 4, 2021
Page 10
Packet Pg. 14
them to take a photograph of the informant, fingerprint them, provide a state identification number and
other bio information. That did not go over well with that community of police officers.
Back then, you would go out and do a drug deal, give the informant maybe $50 for their time and service.
We required two people be present to do that which alleviated a lot of false accusations and ultimately
when it was explained to the officers, it worked out well. Another example would be body recorders for in -
car cameras and actually activating the mics. Some in the community liked that and others didn't because
if someone was stopped and had an innocent encounter yet were recorded, does that become part of the
Freedom of Information Act? You may have been acting a little unprofessional in that; the community and
law enforcement had mixed opinions on that. It was overwhelmingly supported but those changes were
made, mostly with opposition within the department, not as much from outside. The first time scenes from
a crime scene or officer involved shooting were captured or an officer was accused of something such as
bribery that didn't occur, members realized how valuable the tool was in their safety and integrity and
there was buy -in.
The key to all those things is communication. If your boss tells you to do something and you think that
doesn't sound good, when the reasons are explained and you provide your input, it makes it more palatable
because you're part of the decision making process. Plus when you understand why you're doing certain
things, it make sense because sometimes you don't have the whole picture, but someone in a position of
leadership like the Mayor or City Council has a bigger perspective and understands it and buy -in comes
from understanding. It all comes down to communication.
Councilmember K. Johnson: What experience have you had or what ideas do you have for collaboration
with local healthcare for facilities and emergency departments or interventions to address the opioid crisis?
I have a lot of experience unfortunately; I worked undercover for two years in Philadelphia. I supervised a
drug unit for four years and was the director for the state of Pennsylvania for drugs. One of the things Iget
down on myself about is I became a trooper because I wanted to win that war on drugs, I wanted to make
the world a better place, but we've utterly failed with drugs. I can't blame anyone person, I can't blame
law enforcement for the devastation that occurs due to drug addiction. I remember working with an
informant one time, a hardened criminal, who was going to make a couple kilo buy and he said I did various
drugs and didn't think it was a big deal and then I injected heroin and I knew from that day on that it was
over. I live in a nice development, four houses down the kid that my daughter grew up with overdosed on
heroin; it's a terrible thing. To think about the pain that mother goes through every Christmas because her
son's not there. It's horrible.
What can we do? Enforcement's a big thing; if you were to ask me 20 years ago what percentage of your
budget goes toward law enforcement versus interdiction work versus rehabilitation versus discouraging it,
I would have said give it all to law enforcement because we're gonna solve this problem. That comes from
a 25 year old without enough experience. It is multifaceted, if we had the answer, we wouldn't have the
problem. It's complex; we need to partner with as many people as we can, healthcare providers and schools.
One of the programs I started was, I got tired of just having presentation by community service people
going into schools, telling a 4rh grader not to do heroin isn't effective, they probably don't have a clue about
how to get heroin. We should be going into colleges where access is more likely. We tried to do that in high
schools, but educators are under a lot of mandates as well so they can't take time out of their curriculum
to spend an hour on drug information. Same thing on the healthcare side, nobody wants to put people with
a social problem in the criminal justice system when there are better places for them like the healthcare
system.
We still need to do law enforcement, that's what we do, we're not healthcare workers or social services,
but connecting law enforcement with those other entities at least gives a fighting chance, an opportunity to
partner with healthcare. One of the things is having a connection with local emergency rooms, not just in

7.1.a
the local community, but in neighboring counties to see what they are seeing which provides intelligence
for officers and task forces. There are a lot of connections that can be made, probation/parole, to make it
a team effort, the best that we can. I think there is a lot we can do, but unfortunately sometimes budget and
priorities are competing interests. One of the biggest problems in society, and I'm biased due to my
background in drug work, is opioids and the devastation they cause.
Councilmember Olson: We've all been following the national conversation about policing reform and
appreciating the reasons behind it and at the same time we're a community that appreciates law and order.
Why do you think you're the right person to navigate this balancing act in Edmonds? From my background,
I'm kind of a law and order person. After 34 years, that what I grew up on the job with. Police reform, some
of it is silliness, they do not understand what they're talking about, but some of it is important and legitimate
and things we need to look at. Just like the community activist or whoever it might be that's always bringing
something up, a lot of times there is substance behind their complaint. We need to look at those complaints
and what those reforms are. If a reform says we want a database on officer assaults or use offorce incidents,
that might be a good thing to do in police reform. It is still about law and order, but it's still about what's
best for the community that law enforcement serves.
I have 34 years of experience; I've done patrol work, I've done undercover work, I've done community
outreach, I don't like talking about myself but I have a lot of experience and in reading 21 s` Century
Policing, one of the questions is whether this is just another template. There are 156 points in it that fall
within 6 pillars; that is a good foundation to build on and dovetailing my 34 years of experience with 21'
Century Policing gives me the ability to understand things that are practical and others that are not, and
be able to pursue not just the hot topics, but topics of substance and can truly make law enforcement better.
Law enforcement does an outstanding job; I have so many stories. As a troop commander I want our
members getting out and being part of the public as best they can; I had a trooper who didn't tell anyone,
went to the store, bought a bunch of roses and on Mother's Day he goes to a nursing home and passed them
out. That's what law enforcement is and that's what I want to be a part of.
If there are good police reform points, let's look at them, talk about them and if they are appropriate, it is
not one size fits all. Something that works in Philadelphia might not work in Pittsburg even though they are
similar cities. Things that work in Lancaster may not work in Edmonds. Across the board there are a lot of
good things that could be done, but not paint everything with a broad brush that all police officers are bad.
From my personal experience, the overwhelming majority of officers, I would lay down my life for them in
a minute, that's how much I feel for the folks I have worked with through the years. If reform is needed and
things that need to be done better, almost all of us want to do a better job so we can better serve the
communities and society in general.
Council President Paine: How will you integrate the new laws of Washington state into the policies and
procedures for the Edmonds Police Department? And if you can, be specific or draw on past experience.
I'm not as familiar with Washington. I know there's some laws they were talking about related to police
pursuits or military type equipment. Just like the earlier question regarding how to get buy -in when there
and unpopular policy, it is the same thing. I may totally disagree about military equipment, I've been
involved in instances where those big, fortified armored vehicles saved troopers' lives. That is not military
equipment, but police equipment that saves police officers' and citizens' lives. If the policy makers say you
can't use that, I have no choice. There are plenty of things I may not agree with or like but are now law so
we have to deal with that. If there are other ways around things and still get the job done, that's great.
Mace is considered military equipment or controversial. When I came on the job, I had a revolver with a
six round speed loader and a pair of handcuffs; there was no mace, no tasers, nothing. When I was in a
confrontation, it was either a fight or it went right to lethal force. What do you do when someone comes
toward you with a knife when you only have a pistol in your hands? I was in that position and for the grace

of God I wasn't killed and we were able to not harm that person. Looking back, that might not have been
the smartest thing, I might not have two daughters now because of that. Those tools are useful and helpful
to police officers. If the new law is we can't use those, we have to determine why that law was enacted and
how can we still get the job done in compliance with the law and also still protect our officers and protect
our communities. The hat, the gun, the badge, the patch on the sleeve are all great symbols of the police
department but it is what in our hearts that counts.
We work for the public so if society says we no longer want police pursuits, I've been involved in my share
of those and I can tell you Josh Miller who was shot and killed but saved a child in the car, that pursuit was
well worth it, not because the trooper died but because the kid lived. I have opinions on it but if the law
says you cannot do a pursuit, we'll have to work in a different way, whether it's radioing ahead although
that might not be the right thing, but there might be things we can do to still get some kind of result while
being compliant with the new policies we're confronted with. Sometimes it's hard but I'm not going to back
away because it's hard; if that's the law, we'll work with it and find a way to still get the job done one way
or another in compliance with the wishes of the community at large through the laws they enact.
Wrap-up: Thank you for allowing me to come here and be part of this process. You have to make the right
pick, whoever that is. If it's not me, great; you have to be comfortable with who you have because this is
an important position. Being a City Councilmember or Mayor are greatpositions, prestigious but you have
a responsibility to the community. You wouldn't be in the position if you didn't take it seriously because
you spent a lot of your time doing it. This is an important decision and I certainly would love to be that
pick, but I understand I might not be and I wish you well in whoever you pick. I hope whoever it is works
out for you and I wish you well. Thanks again for inviting me here.
This seems like a great place to live. Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to move out west. It's beautiful
around here, there's a nice community, and it's nice to have a small town atmosphere but yet there are the
amenities of a city. I hope you know how lucky you have it; this is a great place, a beautiful place and it
seems like there are a lot of good people. I was walking down the street in a suit on my way to meet with
the Mayor and someone struck up a conversation with me. It seems like a friendly place that I want to be
part of. I thank you again.
Lawrence Hunter
Councilmembers interviewed Captain Lawrence Hunter (answers in italics):
Opening statement: My name is Lawrence Hunter. I am a lifelong resident of the City of Waterbury,
Connecticut. I jointed the police department when I was 22 years old. I was therefor 24 years and retired
at the rank of captain. During that time I was a defensive tactics instructor, I taught implicit bias, I taught
civil complaints, and a number of other things. I rose through the ranks via civil service testing to become
a sergeant, lieutenant, and ultimately a captain. I was a midnight shift commander for a number of years
as well as the internal affairs commander. Through that time I coached our police activities league, I believe
in being an active member of the community and kept my children involved in that. I coached basketball,
baseball, and a host of other sports.
When I was a lieutenant, I decided to complete my education, got three degrees in six years, completing my
associates, bachelors and masters in three years while coaching, raising a family and being married.
People often ask me how I did it and I can say, I really don't know. I was working third shift at the time so
I was tired all the time. I retired in 2019 and spent the vast majority of my career in law enforcement and
love it. I started a podcast called Captain Hunter's Podcast. I wrote a book called Police Reform which
demonstrates my dedication and my love for what I've done and accomplished in my life. I started a
consulting agency where I help officers who want to take promotional tests, walk them through the process.
I currently teach at University of Bridgeport and will be teaching at Post University in the fall. Both classes

are online so I can go somewhere else and still be an active member of the universities. I was an active
member of my department.
Councilmember L. Johnson: Welcome Captain Hunter and thank you for being here today. Given your
research, insight and/or expertise, what challenges or opportunities, both internal and external facing have
you identified or do you suspect that are specific to Edmonds through not necessarily exclusive to
Edmonds? I think one of the biggest things that I did some research on is the homeless population problem
that's going on in Seattle and I understand is now growing in Edmonds. That was a problem in my home
city and is a problem across the country. Almost every intersection where I come from there are now people
standing with homeless signs saying they will work for food and along those lines. That is a serious, major
challenge that much of law enforcement is being confronted with.
The idea of scaling back on the use of force and developing alternative methods to arrest so that is a major
challenge we need to understand how to tackle and tackle it compassionately with other organizations and
stakeholders and understand people may be down on their luck at the moment but that does not mean they
are bad people or negative. It will be a challenge to convince people, those who are better off
socioeconomically, to develop different ways and different mindsets about that. The police unfortunately
can be a very conservative organization that has believed in the past about arresting their way out of
different problems and circumstances and that's not going to work going forward.
Councilmember Buckshnis: Thank you for your resume and your explanation of all the fun things about
going to school, raising kids and having a job. I have a background in finance. The police department has
a $12 million budget of which $400,000 has been overtime for the past decade. With the national talk of
defending and potential defending of police departments, some cities have gone on to a Crisis Assistance
Helping Out on the Streets (CAHOOTS) model which utilizes NGOs or nonprofits to assist police officers
in their job. What is your opinion about using such a model and do you think it would have an impact on
the budget? So I'm totally in favor of the CAHOOTS model. I didn't mention this, I was one of the first
officers that was part of our crisis intervention team, training to help persons in crisis. I think CAHOOTS
is a viable model.
I recently interviewed one of the members of the CAHOOTS in Washington on my podcast although she
may be living in Phoenix now. We had a great talk about their model. It is my understanding that with that
model, the funding still comes from the protective services public services or emergency budget. I'm not
sure how that would impact it on the front end. In the short run, we could scale back on officers' need for
services so officers can focus on other things such as criminal aspects, protective services, other things
along those lines. Maybe on the back end, that would be the best way to impact the budget. Councilmember
Buckshnis: I was using the Eugene, Oregon model because I'm from Oregon. We had a huge article about
it in Eugene. You were the only one who knew the actual acronym.
Councilmember Distelhorst: Thank you for your application and for being with us this afternoon. Police
leaders must sometimes make decisions which are unpopular with the public, with employees or even with
yourself. Can you please describe a specific time when you had to make such a difficult decision and what
the results were? An unpopular decision in the public's eye, your staff or something that you personally
struggled with during your service and leadership in law enforcement and how you approached that and
what was the outcome. I will take it from the staff perspective. As a commander of the midnight shift, there
were many times when I had to confront officers, talk to officers, correct officers but the job has to be done.
Our philosophy for our department was we do what the citizens ask us to do. Therefore, a lot of times,
particularly in recent years because times have been changing so much, the way law enforcement has
traditionally gone and we try to go in a different direction, less arrests, less tickets, less negative interaction
with the public and trying to arrest our way out of problems, a lot of officers don't understand that and
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
August 4, 2021
Page 14
Packet Pg. 18
think the old way, the traditional way was the best way. Here we are years later with protests and riots in
the street and public perception of law enforcement is at an all-time low.
My decisions were always based on what's best for the public; getting officers to go along with that was a
true problem. So I explained the changes, I explaining why we were going along these lines, whatever that
was, and that was always the bests method of going forward. It's not going to be popular, you're going be
hated, you're going to be disliked and people are going to want to talk to you in your officer privately and
they don't understand certain things. Case in point is the implicit bias training which I instructed; a lot of
officers didn't understand why we had to teach implicit bias. They would come to me and say I'm not a
racist. Well that's great, I'm glad you're not, but there's still some items we need to discuss and talk about.
Many people when they think about implicit bias training, they think about race, but implicit bias training
isn't necessarily about race. People have a natural preference for pretty females. So if you're a police
officer and you pull over a pretty female, you may be less inclined to give her a ticket versus an ugly male,
you might give them a ticket or someone who's short. So I try to address that from all angles and try to get
officers to understand and see that the big picture regarding why we're doing what we're doing. It's not
because people are necessarily racist in that particular example, I'm trying to convey that there's a bigger
picture and you have to get officers to see the bigger picture and try to convince them to buy into what the
organization is doing as a whole.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas: Thank you for applying for the job. Policing is a stressful, changing and
has a high occurrence of burnout in the field. How do you support and add resiliency to your team knowing
that a stressed out officer doesn't always make the best decisions? I think it's important for officers to take
vacation, to develop hobbies outside of work, to engage and interact with people who are not police officers.
Often police officers' only friends and contacts are other police officers. I've been at softball games and
the first thing they do is talk about the call they had last night. That has to stop. It is very important for
officers to develop hobbies outside of law enforcement, have friends outside of law enforcement, take
vacation time.
A lot of times when suicides are committed by police officers, they go through their personnel file and
realize in many instances these officers have not taken a vacation in years. It is important for administration
and officials to encourage family life, encourage life outside of law enforcement. I was always questioned
about my habits about not being more involved in what was going on, why I never joined SWAT or was on
the K9 team. It is not that I don't enjoy the big guns and big toys, but I enjoyed more time with my family.
That was why I coached my police activity league and coached my kids through that. I made sure my
daughter was in softball and Ipersonally brought her to that. That's why I stayed on the midnight shift so
long was because I believed that family life was extremely important. I would encourage officers to take
this line of thinking, to get out the box of being a cop all the time and be themselves and enjoy their kids,
their wife, their dog. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas thanked him for applying for the job, commenting
we all enjoy our time off.
Council President Paine: How would you integrate the new laws of Washington State into policies and
procedures for Edmonds Police Department. If you can, use specifics either drawing from your past or what
your practice incudes. So again, I think it is a matter of buy -in. I was just reviewing some of the laws and
changes related to military weapons which I understand a little bit of that. I think it's good to get an
understanding so I would talk to inhouse counsel for the police department, have a great understanding
regarding the intention of the laws, even call some representatives in, talk to otherpolice departments, see
the best way we're going to go about integrating these laws. From there, change policies and procedures
and really try to make sure everyone has a great understanding and are able to buy into the law and
changes. These laws are not popular, they are not popular in Connecticut and I understand they are not
popular in Washington. I have a friend in Minnesota, I know they are not popular there as well.

Again, as Imentioned earlier, this is about the public and aboutpublic safety. We have to ensure all citizens
are able to walk the streets, be pulled over by police officers and not have police officers overreact because
they're scared or they thought they saw a weapon that was really a wallet or something along those lines.
That's the method I would use; I would speak to other stakeholders, get an understanding myself, ensure
my department has an understanding, talk to legal counsel and develop the best way of going forward and
implement those plans as best we can with the police department. I'm sure I can convince them that every
tool we already have we can be successful in enforcing the laws and keeping the public safe without the
unnecessary aspects that people think will be coming down the line.
Councilmember K. Johnson: What experience have you had or what ideas do you have for collaboration
with local healthcare for facilities and emergency departments or interventions to address the opioid crisis?
My interest would be in collaborating with those that know more about that than Ido. Whatever the police
department can do, we can certainly keep numbers, have officers trained in Narcan, the chemical used to
help those who have overdosed regain consciousness. As far as combating the opioid crisis, that is a public
health and doctors' situation. We would do whatever we can to support this to ensure people are referred
for help and not always arresting people, but it is something for the medical field. As far as the criminal
end, certainly we would investigate any situation that comes along, make the proper arrests, do the proper
investigations that lead to arrest and all types of referrals and things along those lines. Essentially, it is a
medical problem.
Councilmember Olson: Thank you for being with us today. I really admire your energy and work ethic.
My question has probably been answered in one way or other throughout, but we are to ask the same
questions of everybody so feel free to repeat yourself. Everyone has been following the national
conversation on policing reform and appreciating the reasons behind it. At the same time we are a
community that appreciates law and order. Why do you think you are the right person to navigate this
balancing act for Edmonds? I think my career, my life has demonstrated that. I understand what I means to
be a kid from the other side of the tracks. I grew up very poor without a father. My mother raised my brother
and me so I understand that aspect of the public schools, graduation and the rest of the story. As far as the
public conversation, I understand what it is. I was stopped by the police growing up, a few times I saw some
interactions that I did not think were very positive. It didn't turn me off; I decided to become part of the
solution instead of talking about it. I think that's really important. I'm the right person because I understand
both sides of the coin. I talk about this on mypodcast, the tagline is Bridging the Divide between the Police
and the Community.
I understand the police aspect, why they do what they do, how they think and I also understand the
community aspect, not onlyfrom my own life experiences butfrom coaching all these different kids, hearing
how they talk about the police and everything along those lines. It's my goal, my drive, my desire to bring
these two entities together. Unfortunately, the police have been seen as inactive in many cases, the
occupying force, the enemy of the people. The truth of the matter is the police are there to protect us.
Sometimes citizens step out of line and it's the police officer's job to correct them and bring them to justice
when and if that happens. The conversation is not easy and is constantly evolving. I think we're at a good
point and for the City of Edmonds, I know what to do, I understand it. My city is a larger small city, we call
it a very large town because it still has that hometown feel to it. From my short time here in Edmonds, I'm
experiencing that as well.
Wrap-up: Thank you for the opportunity. I'm truly honored that you considered me thus far in this process
and I really appreciate it. My entire adult life has been given to law enforcement, policing. I love it, I enjoy
it. I forgot to mention I'm kind of a glutton for punishment; I'm going for my PhD in leadership. I really
just want to be the best candidate and the best person for the job and I believe that I am. I believe my life
experience, my education, my drive, my passion, my goals are a good fit with this community. In reading

through the vision and mission statement for the police department, it talks about we are committed to
reducing crime and enhancing public safety and security, dedicated to earning and maintaining the respect
and confidence entrusted to us.
Manypeople really have a trustfor thepolice department; unfortunately, that trust has been broken through
circumstances and situations and unfortunately that trust is broken not because of the personal interactions
they have seen, but what we've seen across the country in viral videos. I think we need to put out more viral
videos of police officers acting in the right way and the right manner and I believe I'm the one to be able
to spearhead that and say here's how our officers act, here's how we should behave, here's how we do
behave.

Councilmember K. Johnson relayed Mayor Nelson recently formed a homelessness task force; she
wondered if the Health District tracks any information about homelessness and if there is any correlating
data on COVID or drug overdoses for homeless individuals. Ms. Curtis answered they rely on the Point in
Time Survey. She offered to follow up with the District's epidemiologist regarding data related to
homelessness COVID and overdoses. Councilmember K. Johnson said she is not on the task force but
several Councilmembers are and she was certain they would appreciate that data.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas thanked Katie Curtis, a rockstar at the Snohomish Health District, for
the great job she does presenting public health information. She looked forward to the strategic plan and
fundraising plan for the foundation, a volunteer group working on ways to provide funding for public
health. She hoped Edmonds would go back to having a fund for things like overdoses prevention,
explaining that fund was reduced in recent years to fund other projects and COVID brought a screeching
halt to the work being done on overdose prevention. She was interested in ways to teach seniors, children
and others how to manage prescription drugs in their homes. She thanked Ms. Curtis for the overview of
the current budget, commenting as the chair of the budget committee, she was not aware of the reserve,
but agreed it would be used for COVID in the coming years. She noted the District hired 150 mostly
temporary staff to track COVID, a level of staffing that was needed to deal with COVID.
Council President Paine commented Ms. Curtis' presentation was very interesting and noted there have
been a lot of changes in public health over the last 1% years and things continue to change. She asked
about the funding need that the foundation will address for the health district. Ms. Curtis answered since

the foundation is a non-profit and hopefully will become a 501(c)(3), it will be able to apply for grants
that the District is not eligible for as a governmental organization, grants that will help some of the
projects the District and community would like to work on. Council President Paine wished the District
good luck, and asked that they keep the City posted as the District is a huge part of community. She
thanked Ms. Curtis for all the District's work.
Councilmember Buckshnis expressed interest in the Sound Foundation for Public Health, and asked if it
was only for Snohomish County or would it be similar to Puget Sound Partnership that involved other
groups. Ms. Curtis answered it was only for Snohomish County. Councilmember Buckshnis asked if the
foundation would be seeking philanthropic dollars for programs. Ms. Curtis answered yes.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if the intent was to approach large donors or had a mission statement
not been developed yet. Ms. Curtis expected that the foundation would look at all avenues of funding that
may be available. Councilmember Buckshnis looked forward to their business plan and mission
statement, noting Puget Sound Partnership is also looking into forming a foundation to obtain
philanthropic dollars from the private sector.
5. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO APPROVE THE AGENDA IN CONTENT AND ORDER. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Mayor Nelson invited participants and described the procedures for audience comments. He reminded
there is a public hearing on the Stormwater Management Plan on the agenda; this agenda item is for
comments not related to the public hearing.
Linda Ferkingstad, Edmonds, commented in 10 days Governor Inslee is imposing a ban on plastic bags,
straws, and coffee stirrers in Washington State. This will require cutting more trees for paper bags, and
straws and wood stirrers among other things. Ironically this Council has voted in a tree ordinance to save
trees in Washington State, a state that is the second largest timer exporter in the United States. Everyone
who lives or works in Edmonds had reaped the benefits of property division, tree removal and building
without facing a 100% tree tax. The tree ordinance requires Edmonds land owners and soon homeowners
to pay for an arborist assessment and pay a fee equal to the worth of their trees from $3,300 to $12,000
for each tree prior to removal. There is no equity or equality in the Edmonds tree code. Trees belong to
the owners of the property they are growing on, not the City. This ordinance allows the City to possess all
Edmonds trees of 24" DBH and property owners are required to buy them back from the City, purchasing
them twice before they're allowed to trim or remove their trees. This is an obvious unconstitutional taking
of private property which was advised against by the Washington State Attorney General in #5 on today's
agenda packet page 213 regarding the Capital Facilities Plan.
Ms. Ferkingstad continued, the Council is breaking the law to accomplish an agenda they feel is more
important than constitutional rights. It punishes those working to fulfill the single family housing needs of
the community and greatly raises the cost of building new homes in Edmonds. Councilmembers swore to
uphold the constitution when installed into office. Their move to punish property and homeowners who
need to remove a tree, especially while adhering to the strict guidelines of Edmonds as noted in the 183
pages of the stormwater rules, defies the sworn oath, and violates the U.S. Constitution, the Washington
Growth Management Act, and Edmonds own Comprehensive Plan. The Council voted to place undue
hardship on Edmonds land and homeowners. The City has delayed her family's building plans by years
and increased their building costs by more than $100,000, violating the GMA. Mayor Nelson and each
Councilmember live in homes for which trees were removed for the homes to be built and provide views

7.4.a
of the mountains and Puget Sound. She questioned whether they were willing to pay a 100% tree tax for
the trees removed from their properties and if not, the tree code is illegal and discriminately targeting and
punishing a group of people who are legally allowed to build homes on the single family zoned property
they own. She urged the Council to revise the tree ordinance to avoid undue hardship on Edmonds
citizens.
Cindy Sjoblom, Edmonds, urged the Council to keep single family zoning intact, commenting the City
has already met the density requirements for Edmonds per the GMA, already gone from 44,000 to 53,000
people, and adding another 3,300 units on Aurora, the population will exceed 60,000. Crime has increased
and will continue to increase as the population grows. A homeless taskforce was created without public
involvement or initiation by the City Council. Bias will be created and it appears by those include thus
far, police, public defender's office, social worker and the city attorney, that Edmonds is headed for hard
times. Revisiting a code for use of public spaces was code for allowing others to eventually take over
public spaces, something most taxpayers would be angry about and as well as a violation of Washington
State law to allow illegal loitering. She said Mayor Nelson's executive powers include enforcing laws,
code and ordinances and handling the budget; continuous overreach will not serve him or the constituents
of the community well if allowed to continue. It was the Council's job to enforce what she was saying;
citizens should be represented on the task force as well as agencies that help foster self-reliance.
Ms. Sjoblom continued, Edmonds College offers worker retraining programs; she suggested investing in
programs that will help people get back on their feet. Unless a way of reentry into the workforce is
provided, it creates dependency on federal dollars. She suggested establishing bare minimum criteria that
housing will be provided to those who are drug and alcohol free; doing otherwise puts the community at
risk for crime by those who steal to get money for drugs. The Council's actions matter and the community
is watching. It is imperative that the Council develop a process for filing formal complaints when the
Code of Conduct and or Code of Ethic violations occur. Having a Code of Conduct without a way to
enforce it is useless. The code is there to help the Council understand appropriate behavior and help guide
Council actions and it reflects poorly on the Council that a complaint process has not been initiated.
Officials committing Code of Conduct violations can be dealt with to remedy almost any situation.
Without sanctions from Council, members are set up to fail and not getting poor decision making under
control will not be tolerated by the public. Constituents are not okay with Councilmembers drinking prior
to or during a Council meeting while voting on City laws. Any disrespect shown to citizens is not okay
and needs to be dealt with.
Susan Hughes, Edmonds, expressed concern that Councilmember Fraley-Monillas has gone from trying
to justify drinking on the job to bullying concerned citizens and making false statements. After she spoke
about holding Councilmembers accountable for their actions at the September 7tn meeting, during Council
Comments Councilmember Fraley-Monillas stated that she and Carolyn Strong, who also commented
about her drinking on the job, called her drunk and that what they said was hate speech. Councilmember
Fraley-Monillas also turned off her camera while Ms. Hughes was speaking and flipped the "loser" sign
at Carolyn Strong when she was speaking. All of this can be seen, heard and read in the Council minutes.
Apparently Councilmember Fraley-Monillas has taken a page out of Mayor Nelson's page book, gaslight
untrue inflammatory statements, vindictive and bullying. Every citizen should watch or read the
comments made by citizens at the July 27t1i meeting; heartfelt comments from concerned citizens on
issues affecting the City. The Mayor turned on those citizens; citizens should listen to the Mayor's false
statements at the end of the August 3`d meeting where he was bullying, gaslighting and creating a false
narrative as to what citizens said at the July 27t' meeting. Citizens have verifiable evidence of the false
statements and outright lies of the Mayor. The silence of Councilmembers to hold the Mayor accountable
for the false statements shows Edmonds citizens they have proof of the Mayor's lies. Now the Mayor has
said and done nothing concerning a Councilmember drinking on the job.

Ms. Hughes questioned who in City government was allowed to drink on the job, remarking that
evidentially Mayor Nelson felt everyone was. She questioned why the Council was not upholding the
Code of Conduct which states, personal, insulting or intimidating language, body language and actions
are not allowed and no signs of prejudice or disrespect should be evident on the part of Councilmembers
toward any individual participating in a public meeting. City Council adopted a Code of Conduct they
don't follow. She only recently began paying attention to City government after living in Edmonds for 40
years and was appalled. She found it frightening that the Mayor and a Councilmember are attacking
concerned citizens, an attitude of they can do no wrong and are above reproach which does not serve the
citizens they have taken an oath to represent. It is time to raise the level of professionalism in City
government. It is an honor to be elected to the City Council and on November 2, the voters need to elect
people that respect that position.
Natalie Seitz, Edmonds, commented on trees and equity as these subjects touch several of tonight's
agenda items. Tonight the City is conducting a hearing on the stormwater code. Given the process by
which draft code amendments are reviewed by Ecology, it is too late to make major adjustments at this
point. This is one code where the City can make real progress that favors retention and planting of trees.
Trees are already recognized as low impact development best management practice 5.16 in the Western
Washington Stormwater Manual. This City could take further steps to prioritize the use of this BMP in its
code and seek to require drainage easements for trees as a stormwater BMP. Drainage easements can
provide a long term durable space for trees in the urban environment and come with a built in
enforcement mechanism through the Clean Water Act. It would be significantly easier to enforce than a
tree maintenance regulation. She referenced the City of Philadelphia as an example of trees used as
drainage infrastructure and she hoped the City would include the necessary preliminary planning work to
have it be a component of the City's code when the next municipal permit update and corresponding code
revision happen in five years.
Ms. Seitz referred to equity, $1.6 million for park construction and another $4.4 million for facilities
maintenance, likely including renovation of Frances Anderson Center for the benefit of downtown. She
will continue to be critical of the selection and planning process that went into Civic Center; the 2016
PROS Plan that both identified that the downtown was well resourced in comparison to the rest of the
City, and deciding that this $15 million investment in Civic Center was the right action. A neighborhood
park with no parking for the greater Edmonds community and the 2016 PROS Plan process where the
vast majority of public events were held downtown, similar to the master plan for Civic Center. These
were selective rather than robust planning processes; is it any wonder that this was the outcome? While
the Taste and hanging flower baskets boost downtown businesses, where is the investment in the
International District and SR-99 commercial corridor that drive commercial sales taxes for the City? Why
hasn't the City helped create spaces near the International District so events can be held there? Why isn't
the Interurban Trail, a recognized recreational bicycle resource with no dedicated lane from the
intersection of SR-104, identified in the Citywide Bicycle Improvement project? How many of the grants
from the Edmonds Rescue Plan went to businesses and non-profit organizations outside the Bowl — not
many and not enough. The City has spoken of Civic Center as a generational, legacy investment. While
many of the above funding decisions were not initiated by this Council and she understood it was hard to
change course, the current Council is responsible for the decisions it makes today in the biased planning
processes and inequitable investments. Civic Center will be remembered as a generational legacy, perhaps
not the one intended. She thanked the Council for their consideration and for their service.
Carolyn Strong, Edmonds, speaking from outside City Hall along with other constituents, requested the
Council return to in -person meetings on September 28t''. Citizens have the right to partake in meetings
and being shut out from speaking with elected officials is unacceptable. As adults, they can choose to be
present or take part on Zoom; their health choices are their own choice. The fact that Councilmember
Distelhorst ridiculed adults who may or may not have been vaccinated was out of line and not pertinent to
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 21, 2021

Packet Pg. 34
7.4.a
the fact that the Council refuses to have in -person Council meetings. He was calling some first
responders, teachers, medical personnel and other adults who have decided the vaccine may not be the
best for their health irresponsible adults which she found outrageous and out of touch. She questioned
who Councilmember Distelhorst thought he was to speak to constituents like that, commenting it must be
easy to speak outlandishly when hiding behind a computer camera. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas
spoke for the Council by signing a letter in response to a letter to the editor in My Edmonds News last
week. In her letter, Councilmember Fraley-Monillas falsely likened constituents speaking their heartfelt
concerns to the Council as an insurrection, which Ms. Strong found out of touch. Councilmember Fraley-
Monillas then doubled -down on the Mayor's comments, insinuating that on July 27t' the citizens at the
Council meeting, whose median age was well over 50, were having some kind of kegger in the parking
lot; this from a Councilmember caught drinking while voting on City issues and never apologizing to the
people for breaching the City's Code of Conduct, also demonstrating that she was out of touch.
Ms. Strong requested the Council censure this Councilmember for drinking on the job, slandering the
citizens of Edmonds and for immaturely flashing a "loser" sign at her during her public comments two
weeks ago. She also requested Councilmember Fraley-Monillas grow up and take her job seriously. Until
the Council puts teeth behind breaching the Code of Conduct and enforces it, no one will take the Council
seriously. She questioned whether it would take a lawsuit from a slandered citizen to make the Council
wake up, noting we may soon find out. These outrageous behaviors mentioned above came about because
the Council is out of touch with citizens and not seeing constituents face-to-face has given them a warped
perspective and they are completely out of touch with reality. Edmonds craves and deserves
accountability and dignity in local government; sadly there is none. She urged the Council to do their job
and serve the people of Edmonds rather than continually disrespecting them.
Nora Carlson, Edmonds, urged the Council to assist the neighbors and staff of Westgate Elementary
School who have ongoing concerns about safety issues with the dangerous intersection of 96t'' & 224th.
She referred to a message she sent Council yesterday with a summary of issues and actions taken thus far
to address the safety concerns of this intersection which is well known for its challenges. She highlighted
the continued safety concerns. Vehicles frequently exceed the speed limit on 224t' in both directions,
vehicles use 224' to bypass 220t' and Edmonds Way to access 9t' with fewer stops, vehicles proceed
through the stop signs on 96t' in both directions causing near misses with other vehicles and pedestrians,
drivers confused whether it is a 2-way or 4-way stop even with the current signage, and visibility
challenges for drivers at the north -facing stop sign at 96t' with current signage location and pavement
markings. On behalf of the neighbors along with staff, parents, and students at Westgate Elementary
School, she requested the intersection become a priority for needed changes to ensure the safety of
pedestrian and drivers who use this intersection near Westgate Elementary. It is truly a matter of time
before there could be a serious accident where 96t' and 224t' intersect that could potentially injure or kill
an adult or child. She did not want to live with that and it motivated her to continue working toward
improving the safety of this location. Help is urgently needed to effectively address changes to this
intersection. She expressed appreciation for the Council's time, attention and support.
Adam Bettcher, Edmonds, referenced the proposed design of 100t1i & Edmonds Way, explaining he
bikes and drives through the intersection and finds it messy for both modes. There has been discussion
about whether to use sharrows or bike lanes; he supported bike lanes as the bare minimum to help sort out
this mess of an intersection. The intersection is risky now and sharrows will not make it better because
they don't give clear direction and basically the thoughts and prayers of biking structure and can actually
make it more dangerous and confusing by creating a false sense of security. He has had close calls both in
cars and on bikes in that intersection and would appreciate the clarity. With regard to concerns about this
option not being optimized to make vehicle flows as fast as possible during peak travel times, he said a
slightly less efficient intersection isn't a factor. He has seen people of all ages getting around in this
neighborhood and a decision to create a more dangerous street at this intersection would make it more

hostile and result in bad outcomes. He has had friends hit in the intersection. He urged the City to install
bike lanes that are nice and clear and will ultimately make it safer which he, as a motorist and a cyclist,
would appreciate.
Michelle Dotsch, Edmonds, referred to the bicycle lane configuration and pedestrian safety discussion
later on the agenda, explaining she has driven this route to work for over 20 years and is extremely
concerned about Westgate and a potential loss of the dual through vehicle lanes in each direction that
allow vehicles to easily get through the area to reach a further destination as well as accommodate
vehicles turning in/out of businesses in this tight commercial access for cars. It must be one of the most
heavily traveled intersections with tight business corridors outside of Highway 99 and even crosses a state
highway. The packet includes yet another attempt to remove a vehicle travel lane from each direction on
100t' through the Westgate corridor. In listening to the public at previous meetings, hundreds of emails
from residents who live nearby and travel these routes, there was no clamor by almost anyone to remove
drive lanes at Westgate in exchange for dedicated bike lanes. If anything, the overwhelming majority
expressed the same concern of losing vehicle lanes at Westgate. Vehicle trips are now closer to pre-
COVID numbers with schools back in person. The few bicyclist who travel through the intersection could
be directed toward the middle of the intersection with cars turning every which way, making it unsafe for
everyone especially a bicyclist competing for even tighter lane spaces with cars. Having bicyclists take a
single minute to dismount and walk their bicycles across a very well -marked crosswalk along with
pedestrians would be the best and safest option.
Dr. Dotsch She recommended keeping the original plan of bicycles using the sidewalk and crosswalk and
not removing two of the four vehicle lanes north and south through Westgate. Even Mr. Williams agreed
this was the best option at the last presentation and she questioned why it was being revisited this again.
With regard to the proposed bulb -outs, she recommended use of flashing beacons and crosswalks as the
bulb -outs, as people on Dayton discovered, are the reason the ridiculous ghost island had to be installed at
8' and Dayton. The consequence of a 2%2 time sized corner side walk pushes buses, trucks, cars and even
bicycles into the center of the road, making the old wide turning radius with a more effective small
roundabout in the intersection no longer possible. Driving on 84t'' from 220t' to Five Corners illustrates
more problems from bulb -outs. There have been orange cones for two years on the 84t' Avenue bulb -out
because it is literally in the road, no one can see it or expects to see it there. It is redundant and creates
other unintended consequences. She urged the City to take out the proposed 21/2 time sized sidewalks and
put the extra cement to better use for normal sidewalks in Edmonds that citizens want for safety or use the
extra money for the intersection that previous commenter spoke about.

8. PUBLIC HEARING
PUBLIC HEARING FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT CODE (ECDC 18.30)
UPDATE
Public Works Director Phil Williams provided an introduction. Stormwater Engineer Zack Richardson
reviewed:
• Why the Update?
o Stormwater NPDES Permit requires our development code to meet or exceed Ecology's
standards designed to protect surface water from being impacted by development
■ In 2019 Ecology issued Storm Water Management Manual for Western Washington
(SWMMWW)
■ Changes in ECDC are required by July, 2022
■ We are on track to be in compliance by January 1, 2022
■ Ecology's changes are mostly organizational
- These changes are summarized in the Executive Summary of the 2019 Revisions and
Crosswalk: 2014-2019 SWMMWW. (attached in Packet)
• Drainage Review 101
o Drainage mitigation is required when projects exceed certain thresholds of new plus replaced
hard surfaces and/or clearing limits.
o Two categories of project
o Category 1 between 2,000 and 5,000 SF hard surfaces
■ LID mitigation (MR #5) required for all project in this category
- Aimed at low flow events that cause erosion, not large flows.
o Category 2 larger than 5,000 SF hard surfaces
■ Flow control (MR #7) over 10,000 SF (or 0.15 cfs increase in 100-year flow)
- Match flows duration of 2-year through 50-year storm to historic conditions
■ Water Quality (MR #6) over 5,000 pollution generating hard surfaces (including all
vehicle areas)
- Treat the 2-year flow ("first flush")
o Looking at 52 recently reviewed SFRs applications:
■ 24 utilized dispersion or infiltration based BMPs,
■ 22 were caught with Edmonds detention requirements (otherwise exempt from ECY
requirements)
■ 1 direct discharge & 5 perforated pipes
• 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.
o See 2022 ECDC 18.30 and Stormwater Addendum Summary of Changes (agenda packet)

Packet Pg. 37
7.4.a
■ Direction from Ecology (Orange) = Ecology prescribed/required
■ Direction from Staff (White) = City -proposed clarification, reorganization, or update
without substantial change/impact
■ Direction from Staff (Green) = Staff -proposed change with potential impacts
o 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.
■ 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 Rationale: 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: Affects a very small number of applicants. For the handful that would be
impacted, this could potentially be the most -costly change proposed this year. Full drainage
design and BMP implementation for these size projects can cost between $6,000 to $20,000.
However, the impacts of allowing every pre -drainage code residence or business to connect
to our system could result in a continuation of the negative impacts from historic unmitigated
development and detrimental to our ability to manage the capacity of our systems.
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 proposes 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 Rationale: 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 change removes a discount which previously existed in one specific
basin within Edmonds and brings projects within Edmonds Way to be equal in cost to other
projects through in the City. The additional cost is generally limited to increases in volume
for already proposed BMPs, as compared to the full cost of drainage design and BMP
implementation. Larger projects which trigger full flow control (MR #7) will have the most
significant cost increases. Small SFR projects can expect between $500 and $2000 cost
increase, but larger (15,000 SF) commercial/multifamily projects could see increases of
$20,000 to $50,000.
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 Rationale: The Perrinville has been greatly affected by past development and needs enhanced
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..
o Potential Impacts: Both changes result in additional cost that is generally limited to increases
in volume for already proposed BMPs, as compared to the full cost of drainage design and
BMP implementation. The flow control component will only impact larger projects with
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

Packet Pg. 38
7.4.a
minimal impacts on large project budgets; estimated to add between $2,000 and $16,000 for a
larger (15,000 SF) commercial development. The retrofit requirement has the potential to
impact homeowners who are expanding existing homes, but minimally; estimated to add
$400 to $600 for a SFR project which keeps most of the existing home (2,500 SF).
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 Rationale: Perforated pipe connections are only used when infiltration has been found
infeasible for very specific reasons, and when broad infiltration is infeasible, perforated pipes
usually will not work very well either and they may well get proposed in undesirable
locations where instability and failure could result. Our modeling comparisons have shown
detention to provide significantly better outcomes.
o Potential Impacts: Neary all projects within Edmonds over 2,000 SF of impervious would
have to provide stormwater detention, at a minimum. Additional cost is generally limited to
increases in volume for already proposed BMPs, as compared to the full cost of drainage
design and BMP implementation. Detention systems, as compared to a perforated pipe
system, may add between $500 and $4,000 for a larger SFR project (5,500 SF).
What's Next?
o SEPA review underway (-60-days)
o Department of Commerce review underway (60-days)
o This public hearing
■ Held now to avoid conflicts with budgeting process
o Brought back for formal approval pending Commerce & SEPA approval.
o Questions/concerns: Zachary.Richardson@edmondswa.gov
Councilmember Buckshnis thanked Mr. Richardson for his very thoughtful presentation, commenting the
biggest elephant in room on Change #3 regarding Perrinville is the neighbor to the east, Lynnwood. She
asked if anything was being done with regard to mitigation or an ILA with Lynnwood due to the amount
of building Lynnwood is doing in that area. For example, the pipe right by the post office, there is a
tremendous amount of sediment flowing into the creek due to the amount of water coming from
Lynnwood. She asked whether it would be possible to address that in the stormwater code update. Mr.
Williams referred to a conversation with Council President Paine this afternoon where she suggested once
Edmonds adopts the code, working through the Council to pass a resolution asking Lynnwood to adopt a
similar code for the portions of the Perrinville Basin that are in Lynnwood. Snohomish County is also a
potential partner since a great deal of the sediment at the bottom of the hill comes from the county park.
Right now it is almost an emergency situation in lower Perrinville Creek, but there are important
conversations to be had in the future regarding larger projects.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented Snohomish County is coming to the table at WRIA 8 to discuss
things like this. Lynnwood does not believe they have any impact on the watershed when they actually
have a tremendous impact. She was hopeful there would be discussion with Lynnwood about sharing the
costs. Mr. Richardson said he has reached out to his counterpart in Lynnwood and Lynnwood has not
done this update yet so there are still opportunities.
Councilmember K. Johnson said she was concerned about Perrinville Creek, the drainage basin and the
storm events that cause flooding and siltation. She asked how the proposed changes in the stormwater
code will affect future development in the Perrinville drainage basin both in Edmonds and in Lynnwood.
Mr. Richardson answered this code relates only to Edmonds; enacting anything in Lynnwood would

7.4.a
require them to implement changes in their code. For Edmonds, there are two changes, it will take a
slightly bigger chunk of the existing impervious surface, that is the idea behind the retrofit change, it will
mitigate for conditions that are already impacting the creek. The second changes relates primarily
redevelopment and new development, and requires matching the 100 year peak so in theory there is no
flow change to the creak from those projects. Typical flow control tops out at the 50 year peak so in
theory under the current code, there could be a storm where the 100 year peak is exceeded at the end of
the development requirement which will hopefully get the upper the high flows under control.
Councilmember K. Johnson relayed her understanding that 100 year peaks occur more frequently than in
the past. She asked if a stricter requirement would be preferred. Mr. Richardson was uncertain how the
City could go above a 100 year storm because the state modeling tops out at a 100 year storm so a
hydrology update from state would be required. He anticipated that would eventually that catch up, but it
was not there yet.
Councilmember L. Johnson said she shared the concerns about Perrinville Creek. She will concentrate on
three items that caught her attention and concerned her. First, with regard to the term hard surfaces versus
permeable surfaces. The terms were used interchangeably during the presentation and she was concerned
with widespread confusion, misunderstanding or possible misuse of the terms. Hard surfaces conjures up
certain ideas versus pervious surfaces which many understand. She suggested doing a better job defining
that term to ensure it was not misused. Second, with regard to the 52 recently reviewed SFR applications
and a handful that slipped through with a direct discharge exemption and if the location is close to the
Sound, we don't really care about slowing the water, but just getting it to the Sound. She asked if that
meant that roads and houses close to the Sound were allowed to pollute. She also questioned the comment
about roofs not usually being considered pollution generating, pointing out people often put moss killer
and chemicals on their roofs and if they are not considered pollution generating, that could be a problem.
With regard to hard surfaces and impervious surfaces, Mr. Richardson said he was not a stickler when
speaking about those but during review there was much more technical separation. Those terms were not
defined by the City, they were handed down from Ecology in the last update. The industry has been using
those for at least the five years so most people are aware of them. The single biggest thing is there are a
lot things in between like pervious pavement or turf field, so Ecology created a catch all so there is no
debate over impervious/pervious. There are definition at the beginning of the section. He welcomed more
direction if the Council thought more was needed.
With regard to the direct discharge exemption to Puget Sound, Mr. Richardson said there is more to that,
it has to be in an all pipe system and cannot go to a creek. They also have to check the capacity on the
pipe system before they qualify to ensure the pipe system can handle flows to the Sound. That is a flow
control requirement; water quality/treatment is completely independent of that. If someone has direct
discharge and is over 5,000 square feet of pollution generating, they would have to do the water quality
treatment, just not the flow control.
With regard to roofs, Mr. Richardson said Councilmember L. Johnson's example was a good one; the
answer to that is educating people what to use/not use and what is an illicit discharge. He agreed more
research could be done on that issue. That topic has been addressed in yard care but not for roofs. That
issue arises more often with commercial and multifamily projects that have mechanical equipment on the
roof which requires ensuring the metals are treated properly so they do not leach when it rains. Rooftop
mechanical equipment also has to be self-contained with spill control so in the event a hydraulic line
came off it would not spill onto the roof. He summarized there are usually some qualifiers.
Council President Paine expressed appreciation for the presentation and all the work put into the
stormwater update and getting it to the Council sooner rather than later. With regard to the suggestion she
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 21, 2021
Page 13
Packet Pg. 40
7.4.a
made to Mr. Williams, she will do some research and she invited Councilmember's input. Her suggestion
was to see if Lynnwood would adopt a code similar to Edmonds' code that was specific to the Perrinville
watershed so that it would be like to like.
Councilmember Olson said she posed this question to Mr. Williams prior to the meeting, but felt it was
important for the public to hear the answer related to the Salmon Safe certification that the Council
financed in the budget last year that could have a significant impact on the stormwater code depending on
what they find and their citations and suggestions. She requested Mr. Williams share with the public the
process for bringing the code back again later to incorporate those changes. Mr. Williams recalled the
question was whether there was a reason to move forward with these changes or should the City wait until
the Salmon Safe recommendations are available. His response was it is important to move forward with
these changes now.
Mr. Williams relayed another question Councilmember Olson asked about how long it would take to
incorporate any Salmon Safe recommendations. He anticipated it would be similar to this process for
updating the stormwater code. The third question was whether staff intended to amend the code if Salmon
Safe makes suggestions. Mr. Williams assured once the information is received, staff will consider it and
make recommendations and follow through with a process to make additional changes to the code if
necessary. He did not recommend waiting to make these changes, they are important and should be done
as soon as possible. Mr. Richardson said if the Salmon Safe changes are at all substantive, this same
process will be required so there was little benefit to not implementing these stormwater improvements
now.
Councilmember Buckshnis suggested if there was time, having a second public hearing or a continuation
because she did not think people were aware they will be responsible for paying to help implement the
stormwater code, especially in Perrinville. She recalled an interesting email about the same issue in
Shellabarger due to erosion. She commented on increased density that occurs without enough infiltration
with trees, etc., and everything flows downhill or to Puget Sound. She was uncertain it necessitated a
second public hearing although if she lived on Perrinville Creek, she would want to know. She reiterated
the need to loop Lynnwood in because they are part of this basin and Edmonds is the victim of their
development. She wondered how the stormwater was handled for the units that were recently constructed
in Lynnwood.
Mr. Williams said the Administration and Council need to make decisions regarding the regulations
specific to Perrinville due to the huge workload in that basin. Once the changes are adopted, it would be
appropriate to do public outreach and communication about what is being done, why it is necessary and
the impacts. With regard to potential cost, he said that would be part of the review process in the future
and applicants would receive staff comments on their applications and they would have to meet certain
requirements, most of which are required by the state. Staff is recommending some additional changes
that would make it an Edmonds specific code. He summarized it was justified and the right thing to do
and he would hate to slow the process at this point, but acknowledged that was up to the Council.
Councilmember L. Johnson said she looked up hard surfaces in the definitions and it states an impervious
surface, a permeable pavement or a vegetated roof. She took that to mean impervious surfaces including
permeable pavement and vegetated roofs and suggested adding "including but not limited to" so it did not
exclude things like turf fields. She referred to Ms. Seitz's comment tonight about using trees as drainage
infrastructure with drainage easements for trees and asked if that had ever been considered. Mr.
Richardson said that is an existing BMP and is available in the toolkit. There are a couple issues with it;
in his ten years doing stormwater in Washington, he had seen it used once. It doesn't quite count toward
the LID BMPs, it is a flow control BMP; if someone in a single family home is reviewing the list such as
a rain garden at 5% or a trench at 1000 feet per square feet, the tree option is not included. Modeling is

7.4.a
required to get credit for trees. He believed one of the reasons it was not used frequently was the credits
are not very strong because people are hesitant to have trees as infrastructure because they are seen as
potentially temporary. For example if a tree provided stormwater mitigation, would there be a storm drain
problem if that tree fell or died in the future. There is a hesitance to use that as a sole BMP, but it is
currently an option for some projects. There is also a BMP credit for reduced clearing footprint.
As a follow-up on Councilmember L. Johnson's comments on turf fields, Councilmember Distelhorst
asked if turf fields would be included on packet page 310 regarding hard surfaces. Mr. Richardson
answered it is actually its own special exception, it depends on the drainage.
Mayor Nelson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. There was no one present
who wished to provide testimony and Mayor Nelson closed the public participation portion of the public
hearing.
Councilmember Olson asked whether the Council wanted to continue the public hearing. She recalled
there was one citizen who expressly asked to continue the public hearing and she was surprised there
were no public comments when there were quite a few emailed comments today. She questioned whether
the emailed comments counted as comments for the public hearing so the people would have standing.
City Clerk Scott Passey answered they would be part of the public record and are entered into the
minutes. Councilmember Olson reiterated her surprise that there were no public comments during the
public hearing since there was great deal of interest via email. Due to possible technology issues, she
suggested continuing the public hearing to next week. Mr. Passey said that would be a Council decision.
COUNCILMEMBER OLSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO NEXT WEEK IN CASE THERE WERE OTHER
COMMENTERS.
Council President Paine said she did not object to continuing the public hearing but requested the
introduction be abbreviated as the September 28th meeting is already busy. She noted the public could
also submit emails in addition to making comment at the public hearing. She favored wrapping up the
public hearing to provide certainty to staff s efforts. She was lukewarm about continuing the public
hearing but would not oppose it.
Councilmember Buckshnis said only the comment from Lora Petso referenced the stormwater public
hearing, the other emails only referenced stormwater. She asked if the emails sent to Council related to
stormwater would be included in the public hearing record. Mr. Passey said the public hearing notice also
provides an email address to submit public comments; comments received at that address are counted as
public hearing comments. Councilmember Buckshnis said some of the comments were sent to
Councilmembers and not to the public comment address. She suggested that would be a reason to
continue the public hearing.
Councilmember Distelhorst relayed his understanding from Mr. Williams and Mr. Richardson that this
will come back in the future so whether it is an official public hearing with a notice period or just
collecting comments and feedback as usual, there will be time for further comments during the Ecology
and SEPA review. He was unsure the public hearing needed to be continued because there were still
options for reviewing and commenting during the period of time prior to adoption.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said the only comments she received were from Lora Petso, Joe
Scordino, and Mar ie Fields.
Councilmember Olson said Councilmember Distelhorst made good point, but public hearings give people
certain standings so there is a difference. She offered to send the emails she received today to the
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

PublicComment@Edmondswa.gov email and asked if that would suffice. She still hoped the Council
would vote to continue the public hearing, anticipating it would be very short if there were no public
comments, but there may have been technical difficulties tonight that prevented the public from
participating.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

o All eight applications meet eligibility criteria.
o One application, Art Start NW, appears to include up to $32,000 in capital -related items
associated more directly with the completion of the Graphite arts complex than with its own
stated nonprofit mission.
o Council has direct authority to grant up to the amounts requested by the organizations.
o Any amounts left over would roll over to allow for a future call for requests (likely in January
2022)
Recommendation
o Discuss and make grant award decisions this evening
o Applicants will be notified immediately
Councilmember L. Johnson referred to the application that was denied, Washington Kids in Transition
(WKT), because they were not based in Edmonds. She referred to the criteria regarding how the
organization and its programs, projects or activities enhance economic, cultural and/or quality of life
aspects within the Edmonds community, commenting they definitely do that but understood they were not
based in Edmonds. She asked if WKT would qualify somewhere else or should the Council consider
granting them funds with the caveat that the funds would be used to benefit specifically Edmonds
residents. Mr. Doherty said the ordinance contains a great deal of specificity and would require
amendment to provide funds to a non-profit organizations outside Edmonds but serving Edmonds
residents. There will be some funds remaining after these awards are made and another round of awards
could be considered early next year.
Council President Paine reiterated her surprise that the Edmonds Food Bank did not apply. She asked if
the accounting associated with determining the services provided to Edmonds residents was a barrier to
the Edmonds Food Bank or other non -profits that serve more than just Edmonds residents. She noted the
list of awards included organizations that serve the broader community so Edmonds benefits overall. Mr.
Doherty said Edmonds Food Bank did not contact the City during the application period although he
would be surprised if they did not know about it. The information was distributed via the regular channels
and to be fair he did not prompt entities to apply. The City provided a substantial amount in CARES
funding to the Edmonds Food Bank last year to meet food needs.
Council President Paine said she agreed they had been served but wondered if tracking was a barrier. Mr.
Doherty said he did not believe it was because it was discussed with them related to the CARES funds
that they serve people who are not Edmonds residents. At that time the judgment was made that the
majority are Edmonds residents although proof of residency is not requested, the food bank is an
enhancement to the community and the intent is to be welcoming, accepting and generous which is an
overall enhancement to quality of life by helping people even if they live beyond Edmonds' boundaries.
At that time it was portrayed to them that the intent was not to create barriers so he assumed they would
not perceive it as a barrier for applying for these funds.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she liked the list, commenting it looked fair to each organization.
She suggested in round two looking at agencies that had not been supported in the past such as
Washington Kids in Transition, the Edmonds Food Bank or other organizations. The funding will help a
number of organizations including the Edmonds Waterfront Center's lunch program. She was uncertain
how sustainable the cost of $15/meal was, but it will serve a number of seniors on a long term basis. She
observed lunch at the Senior Center a couple weeks ago where there were approximately 11 people; she

was glad to see the center was helping those with food instability or other reasons they for not eating at
home.
Councilmember K. Johnson referred to the seven grants that the Mayor awarded that totaled $100,000.
She asked the difference between those grant requests and the amount awarded. Mr. Doherty responded
there were eight applications including one that was not eligible. The Mayor's authority was to approve
up to $20,000 grants up to a total of $100,000. Mayor Nelson was very interested in the programs and
services provided by those agencies and wanted to award the grants quickly. The total was just above
$100,000 so a decision was made to reduce the amount slightly, $1000 to $2000 less than requested.
Councilmember K. Johnson asked the difference between what was funded and requested. She noted
$400,000 was allocated for the Council to award and questioned whether the difference between the
requests and the award for those organizations should be allocated by the Council. Mr. Doherty advised
the difference between the request amounts and the awards was $11,500. Having received grant funds and
been on grant review committees, Mr. Doherty assured it is very common when applying for grants to
receive slightly less than the requested amount. All the organizations who were awarded funds by the
Mayor have been contacted and contracts for the amounts have been provided. The entities were all
thrilled and no one complained about the amount they received. It is within the Council's authority to
grant funds the way they wish, but he recommended leaving those grants as is.
Councilmember Olson reminded the audience and Councilmembers it was not a coincidence that many of
these organizations are arts related because they were not covered by past programs and private
donations. These are American Rescue Plan funds which were intended for more institutional type things
that were impacted by people not going out, that would not survive without assistance and would
maintain the best bulkheads of the local society. She recognized it may seem odd that the grants are not
for direct human type needs such as food, but those needs have been supported by many other programs
and the ARP was designed for this purpose. She thanked the Council for allowing her extra time for
research and Mr. Doherty for providing additional information.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS,
TO ACCEPT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE
FOLLOWING GRANT AWARDS: ARTS START NORTHWEST - $18,000; CASCADIA ART
MUSEUM - $50,000; EDMONDS CENTER FOR THE ARTS - $50,000; EDMONDS DRIFTWOOD

Mr. Williams referred to the side by side comparison of queues lengths at Westgate in Alternate 1,
explaining the red is the 50% queue, average queue during PM peak hour (weekday 4:30 5 p.m.) which
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

is basically worse case. Adding the blue bar to the red takes it to the 95t1i percentile, only 3 minutes out of
1 hour that the queue would exceed the combined blue and red queue which is 15 minutes a week;
99.85% of the time those queues would not happen. He explained this is a worst case scenario for that
short albeit important period of time.
Councilmember L. Johnson relayed her understanding that this project would add bike lanes to encourage
people of all ages to use them. Adding bike lanes approaching the Westgate intersection is to encourage
bike riders to go through the Westgate intersection. The presentation stated Alternative 1 creates a
complete network and Alternative 2 does not and cyclists will not consider this corridor to be as safe or as
efficient as Alternative 1. Under intangibles it addresses using alternate routes. She recalled a comment
during Audience Comments about drivers using alternate routes. She understood the east -west alternate
routes such as 220t' and 224' to avoid Edmonds Way, but these bike routes are north and south. She
asked about reasonable north and south alternate routes that the intangibles address.
Mr. Williams acknowledged there are not a lot of good north -south routes in Edmonds. This is an
important corridor but the recommendation is not a complete blockage either. It would be more
convenient and faster for a bicyclist to cycle through the intersection in a dedicated space; however, there
is not adequate real estate without eliminating two travel lanes so there has to be a balance. The entire
cycle time is 130 seconds, so it takes 2 minutes 10 second for the green ball to return so the model
suggests delays in the PM peak hour could range from that much to zero. Average queues are what
drivers are more likely to experience, maybe less, maybe more. He acknowledged there would be some
interference with driveway access, but that intersection already experiences delays today. The longest
queue is northbound. It has not been finetuned yet, but there has been some attempt to balance the delay
for all phases of the intersection.
Councilmember L. Johnson said she was struggling with the City was working toward providing
Complete Streets and to increase safety, and this would create a 28 second during the PM peak, but 98.5%
of the time that would not occur. For those reasons she questioned why Alternative 1 was not the
preferred alternative. Mr. Williams answered if there was additional space, it would be an obvious choice.
Bicycle counts at that intersection are extremely low but probably because people do not even want to try
riding there. With regard to "if you build it, will they come," he said that has been the experience with
bike lane projects, a dramatic growth in bicycle activity after bike lanes are installed and he expected that
to occur. Staff provided a recommendation they feel is reasonable for right now. A follow-on project for a
separated bike lane could be added to the CIP with planning about what that would look like and effort to
acquire funding. Staff s recommendation is Alternative 2 and try to acquire enough space for a second
bike lane.
Councilmember L. Johnson commented when someone is riding their bike somewhere, they are also
return so she was concerned with providing only half of it and questioned whether there would be full
usage by only providing half resulting in a cyclist being safe in one direction but not so much in other.
Mr. Williams answered a bicyclist could be safe in both directions, but there would be some additional
delay by using the ramp up to the sidewalk and walking through the intersection. He did not see that as
the end of the world but recognized it was seen as a negative for bicyclists and likely would impact the
stimulus that this project would provide at some level. If only one bike lane can be installed, the
northbound lane is the right one for the PM peak hour.
Councilmember Distelhorst commented he does not speak often or for very long; tonight will be different.
He asked about the delay to cyclists to use crosswalk, anticipating it would be a minimum of 130 seconds.
Mr. Williams answered when a cyclist arrived at the intersection would dictate how long it takes, it could
be almost no delay up to a 60 second delay. Councilmember Distelhorst explained for transit headways
the projected delay is divided by half, if so if it is 130 seconds, the average is slightly over a minute
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 21, 2021

Packet Pg. 48
7.4.a
versus a potential worst case scenario of 28 seconds during 90 minutes of the day for vehicles. Mr.
Williams commented the longest queue, the center through lane, is currently approximately 47 seconds
and would increase to 68 seconds. Councilmember Distelhorst commented that was still shorter than the
average delay for someone on a bike using the sidewalk and crosswalk. Mr. Williams agreed.
Councilmember Distelhorst asked if the time savings for southbound vehicles turning right onto SR-104
had been modeled (currently those vehicles are blocked from turning right by through traffic). Mr.
Williams answered he did not know off the top of his head but could report back.
Councilmember Distelhorst relayed the five pedestrian improvements would improve safety and he
supports them. Council receives numerous public comments and emails from residents who want
enhanced public safety for pedestrian, scooters, etc. on the sidewalk. However, that cannot be coupled
with a bike lane project for non -motorized access that does not prioritize safety. Bike lanes are the bare
minimum, sharrows are insulting and studies indicate sharrows actually decrease safety. He referred to the
Sound Transit access grant comments for the award of this grant that say, Edmonds needs to construct
protected bike lanes, not ineffective painted lanes and sharrows. None of this money should go to that
kind of outdated infrastructure. Use better designs now that are safer. Pay attention to where you plan to
make bicyclists cross the street, especially around highway interchanges.
Councilmember Distelhorst explained WSDOT, historically a pretty conservative organization when it
comes to active transportation, came out with a new Active Transportation Program Plan 1 in May that
included public engagement and graphics regarding bicycle level of traffic stress (BLTS). It looks at the
type of facilities and who will use them depending on how stressful it is. For a dedicated, buffered bike
lane which this project includes south and north of SR-104, 82% of people feel comfortable using that
infrastructure. The design for SR-104 with sharrows, 1% of people on bikes will use that infrastructure.
He agreed it does not create a full network or a safe environment and will only have the bare minimum of
use by cyclists who already use it because there is absolutely no upgrade. When he asked Public Works
staff whether they would ride this intersection with sharrows, they said no.
Councilmember Distelhorst said Council President Paine, Mr. Hague and he have ridden this intersection
and sharrows will not improve it. There are parks, schools and businesses that people can access via non -
motorized modes but without the infrastructure, that will not happen. He expressed concern with adding
to this project in 2, 5 or 10 years, commenting that is holding the safety of someone on a bike hostage for
a future grant opportunity. This is a non -motorized grant, it needs to prioritize non -motorized
transportation that is included in the Climate Action Plan and the Comprehensive Plan. If the City builds
for cars, the result will be more cars and there will not be the desired mode shift. He was also concerned
about the fiscal implications of a future project, commenting there is an opportunity now two achieve
both the bicycle connection as well as safety without expending more money. Seeking grant opportunities
in the future will mean more money and purchasing land from businesses at that intersection to acquire
right-of-way. Mr. Williams commented land could also be acquired via redevelopment without the
investment of municipal funds.
Councilmember Distelhorst commented that could be achieved now without acquiring further right-of-
way via Alternative 1. He recognized widening intersections means more infrastructure that needs to be
maintained. The City's annual road maintenance program needs to be closer to $2M/year; road widening
means more maintenance and road maintenance is currently underfunded. He would like to see better
maintenance of the current network and not expand roads for which maintenance is currently
underfunded. Alternative 1 provide real safety, real connections, bike lanes have been proven in many
studies in this region and in many areas to increase ridership and support businesses by providing
multiple options for people to access them opposed to only by vehicle. He hoped the Council understood
the safety implications, recalling a Councilmember's relative was hit by a vehicle while on their bike in
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

7.4.a
this intersection. The Council need to do its best to provide a safe environment for people who are not in
vehicles. Basic mobility is a human right and designing only around vehicles is not sustainable for the
climate, for safety, or for the future.
Councilmember K. Johnson said she disagreed with most of Councilmember Distelhorst's comments. She
recalled the presentation indicated Alternative 1 will drop the intersection from LOS C to D and asked in
which year. Pablo Para, PH Consulting, answered the forecast is based on 2030 which includes traffic
growth and some development projects. Councilmember K. Johnson said those numbers did not add up
for her. She referred to the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan, commenting 9th
Avenue/100ti' is a minor arterial and the posted speed is 30 mph, SR-104 is a highway of statewide
significance. That is a very important intersection and had the second highest collision rate in the City for
data collected 2009-2014. She felt Alternative 1 would be a mistake and intrinsically unsafe because it
pits a 2,000 pound vehicle against a person on a bike. She is a bicyclist and she would not like to ride in
those protect lanes, but would rather dismount and cross at the intersection.
Councilmember K. Johnson explained there are two kinds of bicyclists, recreational bicyclists such as
children and families, and serious bicyclists who they can be in any lane they choose if they are skillful
enough. It is a false premise that protected lanes will protect bicyclists because turning movements and
through movements create too much potential for conflict. This is a road, it is not about making it the
most efficient for bicyclists, but for all road users. She put more value on the experience of the vehicle
driver than the bicyclist. She acknowledged the interest in a multimodal system; the City received a
$1.85M grant from Sound Transit. She recommended going back to the drawing board and developing
Alternative 3 as Alternative 1 does not do the job and Alternative 2 is only half a program. She will add
more when the Council discusses the pedestrian improvements.
Councilmember Olson thanked the team, commenting that having followed this project through the
process she saw the public's input taken into consideration and implemented in design changes. However,
Alternative 1 does not do that, having followed the process, in the beginning parking was a priority on 9'
Avenue as well as this intersection and the anticipated delays were protested when the Council was
considering acceptance of the grant. After hearing all the input, seeing Alternative 1 proposed made her
angry. She found downgrading the LOS from C, which is not great, to D completely unacceptable. There
may be infrastructure funds in the future that could be used to expand that intersection. In the big picture
the extraordinary delays in Alternative 1 do not make sense. It is not just cars versus bicyclist; there are
very few bicyclists on this route and not all of them as in such a hurry that they cannot dismount and cross
via the crosswalk, experiencing a 1-1.5 minute delay instead of having a high volume of cars experience a
20 second delay.
Councilmember Olson pointed out the 20 second vehicle delay has a climate impact due to pollution
caused by cars idling at the intersection. Achieving climate goals is a big reason for having bike lanes in
the first place. If Alternative 1 where constructed, she felt it would be a huge breach of the public's earlier
concerns when the Council considered acceptance of the grant. The public did not want to wait an extra
20 second at the intersection and were kind of told they would not happen. The alternatives should have
been no change at the intersection except the offramp from the bike lanes to the sidewalk so bicyclists
could walk across and/or sharrows if those are not less safe. She objected to having a huge negative
impact in the short term and downgrading the intersection for the purpose of adding bike lanes.
Alternative 2 may be a reasonable compromise but no bike lanes in the intersection would be preferrable
and absolutely not Alternative 1.
Council President Paine thanked the team for their work. When she reviewed past emails from the public,
she found a lot of comments about bike lanes. She recalled in early discussions about parking,
Councilmember K. Johnson pointing out it is the City's right-of-way and not a resident's personal parking

space. Although not a confident bike rider, she has biked along 9' Avenue and would prefer to have
designated bike lanes in both directions. She recalled a lot of comments from people who ride electric
bikes; 9' Avenue crossing to 100t' is fairly flat and provides access to a different part of the City either on
a bike or an e-bike. People can grocery shop or bring a picnic to a park on an e-bike. The ability to access
another area of the City is something the Council may be missing. SR-104 divides the City and not should
not be lightly. There are inequities built into decisions; this is an opportunity to provide equity via
additional infrastructure to connect across SR-104. SR-104 is terrifying; she is always scared when she
sees students crossing at SR-104 & 15t'' to reach Sherwood and there have been multiple fatalities on SR-
104. She liked the proposed bulb -outs because they slow traffic and slower roads make roads safer. She
expressed support for Alternative 1, relaying her thanks for the team for listening to the community.
Council President Paine agreed the pedestrian improvements may be a separate topic for another night
because "we're just in the dreaming stage." The five pedestrian improvements are solid ideas that address
real needs. As a former resident on 14t' Ave SW that connects to 224ti', she agreed drivers take shortcuts
through residential neighborhoods in terrifying ways. Having 9t' Avenue and 100' available for bicyclist
adds dimensionality to the transportation system. She said Councilmember Distelhorst described it well in
technical terms, but adding usability and accessibility for a different mode of transportation as well as
connecting another part of city is important. She liked Alternative 1 because it focused on safety, and
although safety can result in delays, the community has asked for safety. One of her family members was
hit at that intersection on his bike. She summarized it is important to focus on safety as well as adding
connectivity with an equity lens.
Councilmember Buckshnis did not support either alternative. She believed in safety, but felt there were
other alternatives such as 9511i, 7t', or coming through Woodway. This intersection is already built, it is a
major thoroughfare with traffic galore, turning movements, and driveways; a dangerous situation waiting
to happen. She read all the comments and did not recall citizens expressing support for these changes to
the intersection. There are not a lot of bicyclists using this intersection; she did not have a problem with
bicyclists riding on 9t' or on Bowdoin up to Yost. She would not support either alternative until another
open house was held. A lot of citizens have said they do not support bike lanes at Westgate and suddenly
they are happening. She supported diversity and equity for bikes to travel with cars, recalling when
former Portland Mayor Sam Adams did this, it was a disaster. Comments from Edmonds citizens were
very clear that this is a very dangerous intersection and there is nothing wrong with bicyclists getting off
their bikes and walking across the street. Ferry traffic on SR-104 makes it a very busy throughfare and
9tn/100t' & SR-104 is a very business intersection due to the location of the ferry, businesses and
residence. She was in favor of going back to the drawing board.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented the Council has spent an hour on an item scheduled for 15
minutes and she was doubtful the Council could resolve it tonight. Having ridden that intersection for 50
years, she agreed it was safer for bicyclists to walk their bikes across SR-104 at this intersection. A lot of
the comments the Council received were related to parking and homeowners viewing the parking in front
of their house as their own parking. She expressed concern with that and suggested if someone claimed
that as their own parking it should have a tax base. She had.no problem with bike lanes elsewhere, but
was concerned with bike lanes crossing SR-104 due to traffic volumes, much of which she attributed to
the ferry. Although she did not have a definitive answer, she did not want to throw the baby out with bath
water and suggested Councilmembers get their questions answered about a "halfway in between" option.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DISTELHORST,
TO EXTEND TO 10:25 P.M. SO THE COUNCIL CAN GET TO THE LAST ITEM ON THE
AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO PAUSE THIS DISCUSSION UNTIL THE OCTOBER 5Ta MEETING AND
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas expressed concern with scheduling 15 minutes for an hour topic and
recommended scheduling adequate time on October 5t' to discuss it so Councilmembers do not feel
rushed.
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out all Councilmembers made their points and questioned whether
those same points would be made at the October 5' meeting. She has heard these same comments from
Councilmembers and citizens the last time this was discussed. She questioned whether the intent was
simply to rehash this on October 5t' or would Alternatives 3, 4 and 5 be presented. Mr. Williams took
issue with the hint that this was a staff driven project.
Council President Paine raised a point of order, pointing out there is a motion on the floor. She urged
Councilmembers to submit their questions to staff prior to the October 5t' meeting.
Councilmember Olson said Councilmember Buckshnis made a good point, what is the intent of bringing
this item back, what will happen between now and then, and where do we go from here?
Council President Paine said she was hoping Councilmembers would get their questions answered and if
there needs to be additional discussion, that can be figured out on October 5r''. It is now 10 p.m. and there
is one fun item remaining on the agenda.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented it was fair to get questions answered. She wished questions
had been answered prior to tonight's meeting as that would have avoided the hour-long discussion. She
urged Councilmembers to get responses to their questions before the next meeting.
Councilmember K. Johnson asked whether any new information would be provided if this item is moved
to October 5t'', whether there would be a third or fourth alternative for consideration, noting the Council
was at a stalemate. Mr. Williams answered the project and the grant application was geared toward
making this connection. He did not know of another alternative that does that. This connection on 9t' &
100t' needs to be made in one form or another. He pointed out the rest of the project does a lot of good
things with bicycle lanes and pedestrian improvements and those should not be overlooked. This is a very
important but small piece of the system.
Councilmember K. Johnson relayed her understanding from Mr. Williams' comment that the Council
should not expect a third alternative. Mr. Williams pointed out there was a third alternative that received
no support when it was presented. The three alternatives were 1) two sharrows, 2) one bike lane and one
sharrow, and 3) two bike lanes. There is no other viable option to show unless someone on team has one
that he not heard about.

Councilmember K. Johnson explained she has been involved in this for the past four years. Shirley
Johnson was her next door neighbor growing up; there are now four houses between them. Ms. Johnson
outlived her son and her husband and had no other relatives except a nephew. She did not want to sell her
property to developers and wanted to preserve her family's farm. The outbuildings were chicken coops
and the family had a business selling eggs. When Ms. Johnson could not figure out how to save her land,
she had early conversations with then-Councilmember Mesaros and then -Parks & Recreation Director
Carrie Hite and the Council had several executive sessions. Ms. Hite suggested connecting Ms. Johnson
with the Bennett law firm to assist with drafting a will and a plan. She was very satisfied that Ms.
Johnson's wishes are being carried out.
Councilmember L. Johnson commented she loved hearing this presentation at the committee meeting last
week; it was very touching that Ms. Johnson's legacy would be carried on through the preservation of her
property. She appreciated having it brought to full Council so the community could hear about it.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas expressed her appreciation to Ms. Johnson for her willingness to donate
her property. She reminded the Council and others that unfortunately Ms. Johnson lived the last years of
her life with no water, electricity and a leaky roof. This is an example of where a social service program
could have helped her live a safe and productive life.
Councilmember K. Johnson raised a point of clarification. Contrary to what Councilmember Fraley-
Monillas stated, Ms. Johnson's roof did not leak and she had electricity, although it was true that she did
not have water service.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas thanked Councilmember K. Johnson for correcting her, commenting it
would be nice if the City had a social service program that could have ensured the last years of Ms.
Johnson's life in home were comfortable. It is wonderful that she decided to donate her property to the
City and it will be up to the City to take good care of it.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented Shirley Johnson was definitely a treasure.

Councilmember Fraley-Monillas thanked Natalie Seitz for bringing up issues of equity for those living on
the east side of Edmonds. She appreciated Ms. Seitz reminding Council at every meeting that there are
inequities between one side of Edmonds and the other.
Councilmember Olson said she was disappointed that Councilmember Fraley-Monillas did not have a
different Council comment. After her impassioned advocacy for a new Code of Conduct, putting it on the
Council agenda as Council President and dedicating many hours of Councilmembers' time and effort and
voting for it herself, Councilmember Olson said she had a hard time understanding Councilmember
Fraley-Monillas' refusal to own her two blatant Code of Conduct violations.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas raised a point of order, stating this was inappropriate place to be talking
about individual Councilmembers. If Councilmember Olson wanted to bring her up on charges, there was
executive session to do that.
Councilmember Olson asked if that was a valid point of order. Mayor Nelson suggested Council refrain
from identifying specific Councilmembers.
Councilmember Buckshnis raised a point of order, explaining the purpose of a Council comment is to
allow the Councilmember to provide whatever information she/he wants to say. There have been many
Council comments through the I I years she and Councilmember Fraley-Monillas have been on Council
and Councilmembers have named names.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas raised a point of order, stating this was against the Code of Conduct.
Councilmember Olson asked how it was against the Code of Conduct. Mayor Nelson said it was up to the
Council to decide if they wanted to use Council Comments as a forum to go after each other, he would
not tell them yes or no but suggested using common sense regarding how to use their time. He will not
rule on how or what Council Comments should be, they are the Council's comments.
Councilmember Olson said she did not understand the refusal to own the violations and to render a
sincere apology for both. With that being the case, she questioned where the Council majority was with
sanctions for this Councilmember who is snubbing the public and the code and importantly and where is
the equity. Everyone knows the answer to whether she (Councilmember Olson) would be sanctioned if
she was the one doing these things instead of another Councilmember.
Councilmember Buckshnis thanked Councilmember Olson for her town hall meetings last Saturday. She
was able to attended all three and found the conversations very interesting. Citizens continue to question
whether if we build it, will they come? Citizens are concerned with grants for projects like guardrails and
whether they are really needed. It will be important to look carefully at the CIP/CFP this year. She looked
forward to Councilmember Olson's remaining town hall meetings. She expressed support for

Councilmember Olson's comments tonight about the Code Conduct violations and how nothing was
done.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas raised a point of order, commenting she would not bring her personal
medical issues in front of the Council. She understood this was election season and this was a great time
to dump. Mayor Nelson recommended Councilmembers be allowed to make their comments
uninterrupted.
Councilmember Buckshnis looked forward to the remaining budget town halls. She encouraged residents
to attend, commenting it was very fun to hear their wishes and concerns. Citizens have concerns about the
human services program; the City is providing great transparency on that.
Councilmember L. Johnson relayed September is National Suicide Prevention Month. This year she has
had the honor of carrying on the work started by Councilmember Distelhorst last year. There are two
upcoming events, a community panel discussion on mental health and suicide prevention this Thursday at
7 p.m.. Panelist include members of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevent, the Edmonds Senior
Center, the Edmonds School District and other Edmonds community members. Next Thursday,
September 30' at 7 p.m., Wendy Burchill, Snohomish Health District, will prevent free Question,
Persuade and Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention training. Both events will be held virtually; further
information is available at WeCare.Edmondswa.gov. Through this planning process she has been touched
and inspired by the number of individuals who are very passionate about mental health advocacy,
removing the stigma about talking about mental health challenges, and working hard toward suicide
prevention. She thanked Councilmember Distelhorst for bringing this to Edmonds, commenting it had
been an honor to carry it on. She hoped the public could join one or both presentations.
Councilmember K. Johnson provided additional comment about the proposal for bike lanes. In addition to
what was discussed, the consultant developed and staff recommended five additional pedestrian
improvements for a total of $312,123. This is good information that can be incorporate in the update of
the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. It should not be funded at this time because there
are plans to update the Transportation Plan which includes a complete list of sidewalk projects that are
evaluated on a point system using six criteria. As a result of the scores, 40 sidewalk projects are listed and
none of them include the five projects that are suggested for implementation now. She preferred to fold
those projects into the process and not implement them outside the CIP and Comprehensive Plan.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
EXTEND TO 10:30 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember K. Johnson summarized she wanted to focus on bike lanes at the next discussion and not
spend a lot of time on the pedestrian proposals because it was outside the normal good governance
process.
Council President Paine thanked Ms. Feser for bringing the great news of the property donation.
Residents are always welcome to donate land to the City; it is a great way to do land acquisition and it
may help with estate planning. She thanked Councilmember Olson for putting together the budget meet -
up; she has attended two and it was nice to see people interested in hearing about the budget and talking
about City business. She plans to do something similar next year.
Council President Paine reminded of the upcoming budget process, recalling at the budget retreat the
Council discussed having a shortened budget process. There are some big items on upcoming agendas and
it will be helpful if Councilmembers get their questions answered early so the Council can have
productive discussions at Council meetings. She thanked staff and Councilmembers for covering a lot of
territory at tonight's meeting.

Mayor Nelson reported although COVID numbers are plateauing, they are still unacceptably high, over
440/100,000 and overwhelmingly the people contracting COVID and being hospitalized are
unvaccinated. A glimmer of hope was announced recently, Pfizer's is having good results in clinical trials
with a vaccine for children ages 5 to 11. It still needs to go through the FDA process but it is promising
news that the youngest and most vulnerable will have access to a vaccine sooner rather than later.

• WHEREAS, the mission at the FCAMC is to educate judges and other family court
professionals on the empirical data and research that is currently available. Such
research is a critical component to making decisions that are truly in the best interest of
children. This research includes The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study (CDC -
Kaiser Permanente), Saunder's Study (Us Department of Justice), The Meier Study: Child
Custody Outcomes in Cases Involving Abuse Allegations, and the Santa Clara Law Study
(Confronting the Challenge of High -Conflict Personality in Family Court), and;
• WHEREAS, the mission at the FCAMC is fueled by the desire for awareness and change
in the family court system while honoring the 800(+) children who have been murdered
by separating or divorcing parents, and;

Dear Mayor Mike Nelson and Edmonds City Council,
November is Family Court Awareness Month. The month of November provides an excellent
opportunity for Edmonds to demonstrate its support in recognizing the importance of a family
court system that prioritizes child safety and acts in the best interest of children.
During the inaugural Family Court Awareness Month (2020), the top advocates in the family
court system joined forces in a united effort to honor the 758 children who had been murdered
by a separating or divorcing parent (2008-2020, Center for Judicial Excellence). This
collaboration was organized by Tina Swithin of One Mom's Battle and Sandra Ross of California
Protective Parents Association. Joining in this awareness campaign was The National Family
Violence Law Center, The Court Said USA, Kayden's Korner Foundation, Kyra Franchetti
Foundation, Pollack Group LLC, Center for Judicial Excellence, and the Stop Abuse Campaign.
Efforts to coin the month of November as Family Court Awareness Month received recognition
and endorsements from California Congresswoman Judy Chu, Senator Susan Rubio and
Assemblywoman Blanca Rubio. At the Los Angeles press conference on November 1, 2020,
Senator Rubio and Assemblywoman Rubio were in attendance and spoke prior to the ribbon
cutting ceremony.
The Los Angeles event was the first in a series of press conferences across the country.
Speakers at these events were notable voices in the domestic violence and family court
advocacy communities. These speakers included Jacqueline Franchetti whose daughter, Kyra
Franchetti was murdered as a result of a New York family court failure. Ana Estevez, whose
beloved son, Piqui, was murdered as a result of a California family court failure and Kathy
Sherlock, mother to Kayden, who was murdered as a result of a Pennsylvania family court
failure. Since last November, the number of children murdered by separating or divorcing
parents has increased to 806; 48 additional children have lost their lives in less than a year.
Currently, many families in our community are struggling in silence and facing the reality that
child safety is not being prioritized. Our family court system lacks the proper training on
domestic violence, childhood trauma and post separation abuse. In fact, many are shocked to
discover that most states do not have domestic violence training requirements prior to a
judicial officer presiding over family court cases and ultimately, determining the fate of
innocent children. In the states that do have requirements for domestic violence training, it is
very minimal.
Our goal for Family Court Awareness Month 2021, is to shine a spotlight on solutions such as
the research that is currently available, but not being utilized. This research includes:

I would be honored if you would sponsor an official proclamation to recognize November as
Family Court Awareness Month. Your proclamation would lend official recognition to the
important work of educating the public, as well as emphasize your personal commitment to
help support matters that are of the utmost importance to your community, child safety. As
you are probably aware, October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month. Domestic
Violence is about power and control, this doesn't go away when the relationship ends. For
many survivors it actually intensifies with the separation and the abuse shifts to a new
platform, the family court system. Post Separation Abuse makes for a perfect segue between
Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Family Court Awareness Month.
I have cc'd founder, Tina Swithin(tina@familycourtawarenessmonth.com) on this email and if it
works with her schedule, she would be honored to be in attendance (virtually) when the
proclamation is presented.
If you, or your staff, have any questions concerning the request, or Family Court Awareness
Month, please call let me know. I will follow-up with your office on this request in the next few
days. As always, we appreciate your support. Thank you for considering this very important
request.

Dear Edmonds City Council Members,
I will be reading this message at the public comments of tonight's council meeting. I wanted
you to have this written message to refer to for specifics.
I live near the dangerous intersection of 224th St. SW and 96th Ave W, an intersection
within the School Zone of Westgate Elementary School.
Twice in one round trip this weekend I experienced drivers disregarding the north and south
bound stop signs with additional signage saying "Cross traffic does not stop."
While I was driving to the Saturday market, a car traveling south on 96th flew through the
southbound stop sign making a left onto 224th in front of me. I pointed with wide eyes saying
STOP! The look on the driver's face was like "what's with you crazy lady?"
As I was returning from the farmers' market, coming up 224th from the west, a car headed
north slowed on 96th before crossing directly in front of me making a left turn. If I had not
been preemptively slowing it would have hit me. It began to accelerate before I slowed, as if he
assumed I had a stop.
Those two stop signs might as well not be there the way they are disregarded by drivers as they
assume there are stop signs on 224th.
If this intersection is not made into a four way stop, perhaps red flashers could be installed on
the present signs to draw attention to the two-way nature of the stops, or rumble strips to alert
drivers they are approaching a stop. SOMETHING!! Another alternative would be for
intermittent posting of police to enforce the speed zone and stop signs. I frequently observe
vehicles exceeding the 30 mph limit on 224th not to mention the 20 mph school zone limit.
I frequently hear the screeching of brakes and have personally observed at least one vehicular
collision that required cars to be towed after one was shoved onto the sidewalk cut at the
crosswalk.
I hope the city will do something about this dangerous intersection before serious injury or a
fatality result from the ineffective signage at the intersection of 96th Ave W and 224th St. SW.
Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: Public Hearing on Stormwater Code Update
Concern for Timing and Content of Stormwater Code Update.
Last year, the Council approved the Mayor's 2021 budget initiative for a "Salmon Safe
Certification" process which would provide an independent review and verification of the City's
environmental practices for protecting water quality and habitat. The process included an
expert review of the City's Stormwater Management Policies and Practices relative to
protecting the health of the watersheds in Edmonds.

7.4.a
Although the Mayor's Conservation Advisory Committee worked with the Salmon Safe
organization, at the Mayor's request, to develop a Scope of Work specific to Edmonds before
January 2021, the City's Agreement/Contract with the Salmon -Safe Organization still has not
yet been issued.
Thus, an environmental 'expert' stormwater management review is not available for this
stormwater code update.
Thus, the Council does not have an environmental expert's input on current stormwater
management in this City to evaluate whether the proposed update to the City's stormwater
code is adequate to protect the health of the Edmonds watersheds.
We do know that Perrinville Creek has been and continues to be destroyed by stormwater that
gushes into the creek during heavy rainfall. We also know that the instream fish habitat in Shell
Creek is also being devastated by sediment deposits caused by stormwater flows. We know
that stormwater impacts on our watersheds have been getting worse and we are not seeing
that change.
What the City (and Council) don't know is what the "Salmon -Safe" environmental expert's
assessment will show and what otherwise would/should have been used by the City in updating
the stormwater code.
Citizens concerned about stormwater management and how it is affecting our streams and
wetlands are not in a good position to provide constructive comments on the stormwater code
without first having the environmental expert recommendations that will come out of the
"Salmon -Safe Certification" process.

Subject: Public Comments for September 21, 2021 Council Meeting
For a Municipal Government to function properly, city officials understand they work for the
citizens. Citizens are granted courtesy, their emails are responded to, and their questions are
answered. An emphasis on friendly and courteous service to the public improves the quality of
public service and confidence of citizens. Communications between the citizens and all

municipal officers is supposed to be encouraged. Refusing to respond to citizen emails is a
violation of the Code of Ethics.
Councilmembers have submitted complaints against fellow Councilmembers that reference the
Code of Ethics. As such, why do Councilmembers choose to violate that same Code of Ethics?
Why do Councilmembers ignore citizens who make complaints like their own complaints made
against fellow Councilmembers? Again, see attached.
Over the years, I have asked city officials hundreds of questions covering a wide range of
topics. Many of my questions have gone unanswered. For example, the last email response I
received from an Edmonds Mayor was in March of 2012. My confidence in City government
has greatly decreased because of this conduct by city officials.
As a reminder, all city officials are below citizens on the City's Organizational Chart. Elected
officials and appointed citizen volunteers serving in an official capacity (i.e. Boards and
Commissions) have a responsibility to emphasize friendly and courteous service to the public
and each other; seek to improve the quality of public service, and confidence of citizens. This
is mandatory. The Code of Ethics clearly states: "We shall:".
(As a side note, one more reason the Code of Ethics should be improved is it doesn't address a
City Councilmember who was not "elected".)
Elected Officials - Please respond to citizen emails and answer all citizen questions! If you don't
want to do what is mandatory and emphasize friendly and courteous service to the public and
each other; seek to improve the quality of public service, and confidence of citizens,
RESIGNATION from office is a way you can rid yourself of these responsibilities. Many Edmonds
citizens have been willing to serve after Councilmembers have resigned in the past. Several
current city officials have experienced this directly.
Please be very aware that the Code of Ethics states WE SHALL: Emphasize friendly and
courteous service to the public and each other; seek to improve the quality of public service,
and confidence of citizens.
The Code of Ethics is the same document the following words were pulled from on the attached
document: dedicated to the highest ideals of honor and integrity in all public and personal
relationships.
Citizens of Edmonds need greatness from our city officials at this time. I think citizens deserve
great city officials. Please do all possible to promote improved city government. Please strive
for better city government! Thank you.

Complaint —
In open session on September 15, 2020 during the Council Comment section,
Council President Fraley Monillas disclosed portions of a conversation that took
place in an executive session of September 8, 2020. Specifically, RCW section
42.23.070 (Code of Ethics for Municipal Officers: Prohibited Acts) prohibits

disclosure of confidential information. The specific violation was 42.23.070(4)
which is: No municipal officer may disclose confidential information gained by
reason of the officer's position, nor may the officer otherwise use such
information for his or her personal gain or benefit.
This comment is contrary to our code of ethics — by being dedicated to the
highest ideals of honor and integrity in all public and personal relationships and
to not allow a member to personally benefit or profit by confidential information
being disclosed or by misuse of public resources.
This comment is contrary to our code of conduct for all group leaders specifically
leaders should not intimidate other members or be disrespectful towards them.
The comment is also contrary to Robert's Rule of Order — Rule 43:24 that
Council refrain from speaking adversely or disclosing any action that was
resolved and/or not pending.

Management code (ECDC 18.30) update
As a reminder, the City of Sea Tac reads Written Public Hearing Comments into the record, up
to 5 minutes in length. Why doesn't the City of Edmonds do that?
Public Comments for Public Hearing for Stormwater Management code (ECDC 18.30) update
Prior to updating the Stormwater Management code, please answer the following questions:
1. When the City claims it needs property for a public purpose such as stormwater overflow,
why does it leave that property in private hands? Why did the City not buy or condemn
the property that was later sold to Donna Breske? Had the City done so, the Breske family's
horrible experience with the City of Edmonds would never have been possible.
2. How did City Water, sewer and storm utilities get located partially within a 60-
ft planned right-of-way in the Seaview Woods area? Did the placement of City Water, sewer
and storm utilities within the "planned right-of-way' open the right-of-way or is a right-of-
way only opened when it is improved so that it can be used for ingress/egress?

3. When the City discovers a stormwater pipe has been installed without permit in an
unopened right-of-way, can the City require the fee title owner to grant the party that installed
the pipe an easement during a street vacation process? Why would the City do that instead of
requiring the party to remove its pipe installed without permit?
4. Can the City divest ownership of publicly owned stormwater facilities to a private property
owner such as was done as part of the Westgate Chapel street vacation?
5. If the City accepts a bond to finalize a plat, does the City have a duty to use the related bond
to finish the required plat improvements so neighboring property owners will not be impacted
by stormwater flowing onto their property?
Thank you for answering all these questions prior to updating the Stormwater Management
code.

Subject: November is Family Awareness Court Month #MeTooFamilyCourt
Dear Mayor Mike Nelson and Edmonds City Council,
November is Family Court Awareness Month. The month of November provides an excellent
opportunity for Edmonds to demonstrate its support in recognizing the importance of a family
court system that prioritizes child safety and acts in the best interest of children.
During the inaugural Family Court Awareness Month (2020), the top advocates in the family
court system joined forces in a united effort to honor the 758 children who had been murdered
by a separating or divorcing parent (2008-2020, Center for Judicial Excellence). This
collaboration was organized by Tina Swithin of One Mom's Battle and Sandra Ross of California
Protective Parents Association. Joining in this awareness campaign was The National Family
Violence Law Center, The Court Said USA, Kayden's Korner Foundation, Kyra Franchetti
Foundation, Pollack Group LLC, Center for Judicial Excellence, and the Stop Abuse Campaign.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

7.4.a
Efforts to coin the month of November as Family Court Awareness Month received recognition
and endorsements from California Congresswoman Judy Chu, Senator Susan Rubio and
Assemblywoman Blanca Rubio. At the Los Angeles press conference on November 1, 2020,
Senator Rubio and Assemblywoman Rubio were in attendance and spoke prior to the ribbon
cutting ceremony.
The Los Angeles event was the first in a series of press conferences across the country.
Speakers at these events were notable voices in the domestic violence and family court
advocacy communities. These speakers included Jacqueline Franchetti whose daughter, Kyra
Franchetti was murdered as a result of a New York family court failure. Ana Estevez, whose
beloved son, Piqui, was murdered as a result of a California family court failure and Kathy
Sherlock, mother to Kayden, who was murdered as a result of a Pennsylvania family court
failure. Since last November, the number of children murdered by separating or divorcing
parents has increased to 806; 48 additional children have lost their lives in less than a year.
Currently, many families in our community are struggling in silence and facing the reality that
child safety is not being prioritized. Our family court system lacks the proper training on
domestic violence, childhood trauma and post separation abuse. In fact, many are shocked to
discover that most states do not have domestic violence training requirements prior to a
judicial officer presiding over family court cases and ultimately, determining the fate of
innocent children. In the states that do have requirements for domestic violence training, it is
very minimal.
Our goal for Family Court Awareness Month 2021, is to shine a spotlight on solutions such as
the research that is currently available, but not being utilized. This research includes:
0 The Meier Study
M Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES)
0 The Saunders Study
0 The Santa Clara University Study (High Conflict individuals in the family court
system
I would be honored if you would sponsor an official proclamation to recognize November as
Family Court Awareness Month. Your proclamation would lend official recognition to the
important work of educating the public, as well as emphasize your personal commitment to
help support matters that are of the utmost importance to your community, child safety. As
you are probably aware, October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month. Domestic
Violence is about power and control, this doesn't go away when the relationship ends. For
many survivors it actually intensifies with the separation and the abuse shifts to a new
platform, the family court system. Post Separation Abuse makes for a perfect segue between
Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Family Court Awareness Month.

I have cc'd founder, Tina Swithin (tina@familycourtawarenessmonth.com) on this email and if it
works with her schedule, she would be honored to be in attendance (virtually) when the
proclamation is presented.
If you, or your staff, have any questions concerning the request, or Family Court Awareness
Month, please call let me know. I will follow-up with your office on this request in the next few
days. As always, we appreciate your support. Thank you for considering this very important
request.
Sincerely,
Gretchen Pawling

New Item for Council to Consider (September 2021)
Budget Amendment for:
September 21st, 2021
Item Description:
The Tree Fund was created with Ordinance No. 4218, which requires payments into the fund through the
tree code's fee -in -lieu program to be spent on either tree planting or the purchase of open space. Fund 118
was established via Ordinance 2396 in 1983, and has been virtually dormant for years. It has been
determined the best use of the funds in the Memorial Tree Fund would be to repurpose them for the new
Tree Fund. This decision package is to add the authority to transfer the funds out of the Memorial Tree
Fund into the new Tree Fund.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 09/28/2021
Public Hearing for Stormwater Management code (ECDC 18.30) update
Staff Lead: Zack Richardson
Department: Engineering
Preparer: Rob English
Background/History
On July 13, 2021, staff presented this item to the Parks and Public Works Committee.
On July 20, 2021, staff presented this item to City Council for review and comments.
On September 21, 2021, staff presented this item to the City Council and a public hearing was scheduled
to receive public comment. City Council continued the public hearing to the September 28, 2021 City
Council meeting.
Staff Recommendation
Consider public comment provided at the Public Hearing. Discuss possible changes or forward the item
for approval on a future consent agenda pending SEPA and Department of Commerce approval.
Background:
The City's municipal NPDES permit with the Washington Department of Ecology requires that the City
maintain adequate stormwater management code for new development in order to protect surface
waters. Each 5-year cycle of the permit requires an update to the City code to remain compliant with
the most current guidance from Ecology. The current permit requires that our codes be updated to
reflect their 2019 Surface Water Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW) by July of
2022, but staff have proposed to have the new code effective 1/1/2022 for better clarity of application
of standards for future projects.
Narrative
The City must adopt drainage management code which is at least as protective as SWMMWW, but the
City does have the ability to add Edmonds -specific provisions which are in addition to Ecology
minimums. The difference between SWMMWW and Edmonds codes are managed in the Edmonds
Storm water Addendum (Addendum) so that the update to ECDC 18.30 is ultimately to adopt the 2019
SWMMWW as modified in the Addendum.
The revised versions of both ECDC 18.30 and the Addendum are attached in a clean version (as
proposed) and a redlined version, which tracked all changes between the current proposal and the
existing code. The changes since the previous version of the drainage code are summarized in
Attachment E (2022 ECDC 18.30 and Storm water Addendum Summary of Changes) and are broken into
three categories.
Packet Pg. 149
8.2
1. Ecology directed provisions, shown in orange, are revisions need to generally maintain
compliance with Ecology guidance. These are generally items that the City does not have the
ability to omit or revise in the code.
2. Staff -proposed revisions for clarity only, are shown in white, and generally will not impact
development. These revisions are predominantly to assist staff in communicating requirements
to designers and to assist with enforcement; they are not new impacts.
3. Staff -proposed revisions which are substantive changes, are shown in green, and would be
anticipated to have some potential for impact on development.
Ecology did a reorganization of the manual for the current version, so there are a fair number of changes
to their manual, but most are non -substantive. Most of the updates are reorganizational only and not
changes to requirements themselves. See Attachment G and Attachment F for more information on the
Ecology revisions.
Staff have proposed four substantive changes to the Edmonds -specific portions of code.
1. Changes to the way new connections of existing impervious surfaces are handled; revised to be
treated like new impervious and mitigated for in accordance with drainage code.
2. Removed Edmonds Way as 'direct discharge basin' and any corresponding exemptions; project
in Edmonds Way to be treated same as rest of City.
3. Increased protections of Perrinville Creek by (a) increasing the application of the City "retro-fit"
LID requirement and (b) increasing the flow control standard for projects within the basin.
4. Revising the LID BMP list so that the Edmonds -specific detention BMP is used for LID treatment
before the "perforate pipe connection" BMP
See the attached documents for more details on the changes and their anticipated impacts.

Highway. A main public road connecting towns and cities. In Edmonds, this includes State Route 99, State Route
524, and portions of State Route 104, that are classified as principal arterials in the City's comprehensive
transportation plan.
Illicit discharge. Any direct or indirect non-stormwater discharge to the City's MS4, groundwaters, or a water body,
except as expressly allowed by ECDC Chapter 7.200.
Impervious surface. A non -vegetated surface area that either prevents or retards the entry of water into the soil
mantle as under natural conditions prior to development. A non -vegetated surface area which causes water to run off
the surface in greater quantities or at an increased rate of flow from the flow present under natural conditions prior
to development. Common impervious surfaces include, but are not limited to, roof tops, walkways, patios,
driveways, parking lots or storage areas, concrete or asphalt paving, gravel roads, packed earthen materials, and
oiled, macadam or other surfaces that similarly impede the natural infiltration of stormwater. Open, uncovered
retention/detention facilities shall not be considered impervious surfaces for purposes of determining whether the
thresholds for application of minimum requirements are exceeded. Open, uncovered retention/detention facilities
shall be considered impervious surfaces for purposes of runoff modeling. Outdoor swimming pools shall be
considered impervious surfaces in all situations. In addition, lawns, landscaping, sports fields, golf courses, and
other areas that have modified runoff characteristics resulting from the addition of underdrains and impermeable or
low permeability liners are to be considered impervious surfaces. If no liner is installed, these areas (lawns,
landscaping, sports fields, golf courses, etc.) served by underdrains may be considered partially pervious if the
underdrain is set a minimum of 8 inches above the in -situ soils in a manner to allow infiltration over the facility
bottom.
Lake. An inland body of fresh water surrounded by land.
Land disturbing activity. Any activity that results in a change in the existing soil cover (both vegetative and non -
vegetative) and/or the existing soil topography. Land -disturbing activities include but are not limited to demolition,
clearing, grading, filling, and excavation. Compaction that is associated with stabilization of structures and road
construction shall also be considered a land -disturbing activity. Vegetation maintenance practices, including
landscape maintenance and gardening, are not considered land -disturbing activity. Stormwater facility maintenance
is not considered land disturbing activity if conducted according to established standards and procedures.
Low impact development (LID). A stormwater and land use strategy that strives to mimic pre -disturbance
hydrologic processes of infiltration, filtration, storage, evaporation and transpiration by emphasizing conservation,
use of on -site features, site planning, and distributed stormwater management practices that are integrated into a
project design.
LID Best Management Practices (BMPs). Distributed stormwater management practices, integrated into a project
design, that emphasize pre -disturbance hydrologic processes of infiltration, filtration, storage, evaporation and
transpiration. LID BMPs include, but are not limited to, bioretention, rain gardens, permeable pavements, roof
downspout controls, dispersion, soil quality and depth, minimal excavation foundations, vegetated roofs, and water
re -use.
LID principles. Land use management strategies that emphasize conservation, use of on -site natural features, and
site planning to minimize impervious surfaces, native vegetation loss, and stormwater runoff.
Maintenance. Repair and maintenance activities conducted on currently serviceable structures, facilities, and
equipment that involves no expansion or use beyond that previously existing and results in no significant adverse
hydrologic impact. It includes those usual activities taken to prevent a decline, lapse, or cessation in the use of
structures and systems. Those usual activities may include replacement of dysfunctional facilities, including cases
where environmental permits require replacing an existing structure with a different type structure, as long as the
functioning characteristics of the original structure are not changed. One example is the replacement of a collapsed,
fish blocking, round culvert with a new box culvert under the same span, or width, of roadway. In regard to
stormwater facilities, maintenance includes assessment to ensure ongoing proper operation, removal of built up
pollutants (i.e., sediments), replacement of failed or failing treatment media, and other actions taken to correct
defects as identified in the maintenance standards of Appendix A, Volume V of the SWMMWW.

redevelopment; all projects in Edmonds shall meet the requirements for new development.
New Impervious Surface. A surface that is: 1) changed from a pervious surface to an impervious surface (e.g.,
resurfacing by upgrading from dirt to gravel, a bituminous surface treatment ("chip seal"), asphalt, concrete, or an
impervious structure); or 2) upgraded from gravel to chip seal, asphalt, concrete, or an impervious structure; or 3)
upgraded from chip seal to asphalt, concrete, or an impervious structure. Note that if asphalt or concrete has been
overlaid by a chip seal, the existing condition should be considered as asphalt or concrete.
Outfall. A point source as defined by 40 CFR 122.2 at the point where a discharge leaves the City's MS4 and enters
a surface receiving waterbody or surface receiving waters. Outfall does not include pipes, tunnels, or other
conveyances which connect segments of the same stream or other surface waters and are used to convey primarily
surface waters (i.e., culverts).

Project: Any proposed action to alter or develop a site.
Project site. That portion of a property, properties, and/or right-of-way subject to land -disturbing activities, new hard
surfaces, or replaced hard surfaces. For projects that involve land disturbing activity on one or more parcels and/or
land disturbing activity in the City right-of-way, the "Project site" includes all areas of land disturbance. If the
project is part of a common development plan or sale, the disturbed area of the entire plan shall be used in
determining permit requirements.
Rain garden. A non -engineered shallow landscaped depression, with compost -amended native soils and adapted
plants. The depression is designed to pond and temporarily store stormwater runoff from adjacent areas, and to allow
stormwater to pass through the amended soil profile.
Receiving waterbody or Receiving waters. Naturally and/or reconstructed naturally occurring surface water bodies,
such as creeks, streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands, estuaries, and marine waters, or groundwater, to which a MS4
discharges.
Redevelopment. ECDC 18.30 does not distinguish the difference between new development and redevelopment; all
projects in Edmonds shall meet the requirements for new development. Where existing unmitigated surfaces are to
remain, the additional "retro-fit" requirement per ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.b.i
Replaced hard surface. For structures means the removal and replacement of hard surfaces down to the foundation.
For other hard surfaces, it means the removal down to bare soil or base course and replacement.

constructed as a requirement for a development project are not consider a road -roadway project.
Runoff. Water originating from rainfall and other precipitation that is found in drainage facilities, rivers, streams,
springs, seeps, ponds, lakes and wetlands, as well as shallow ground water. It also means the portion of rainfall or
other precipitation that becomes surface flow and interflow.
Site. The area defined by the legal boundaries of a parcel or parcels of land that is (are) subject to development. For
road projects, or utility projects in the right-of-way, the length of the project site and the right-of-way boundaries
define the site. Note that drainage impacts are generally assessed for the "project site", under separate definition.
Slope. The degree of deviation of a surface from the horizontal; measured as a numerical ratio, percent, or in
degrees. Expressed as a ratio, the first number is the horizontal distance (run) and the second is the vertical distance
(rise), as 2:1. A 2:1 slope is a 50 percent slope. Expressed in degrees, the slope is the angle from the horizontal
plane, with a 90-degree slope being vertical (maximum) and 45 degrees being a 1:1 or 100 percent slope.

natural medium for the growth of land plants.
Source control BMPs. A structure or operation that is intended to prevent pollutants from coming into contact with
storm water through physical separation of areas or careful management of activities that are sources of pollutants.
The SWMMWW separates source control BMPs into two types. Structural source control BMPs are physical,
structural, or mechanical devices, or facilities that are intended to prevent pollutants from entering stormwater.
Operational Source Control BMPs are non-structural practices that prevent or reduce pollutants from entering
stormwater. See Volume IV of the SWMMWW for details.
Stormwater facility. A constructed component of a stormwater drainage system, designed and constructed to
perform a particular function or multiple functions. Stormwater facilities include, but are not limited to, pipes,
swales, ditches, culverts, street gutters, detention ponds, retention ponds, constructed wetlands, infiltration devices,
catch basins, oil/water separators, and biofiltration swales.
Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW). The Washington State Department of
Ecology's 2019Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. Referred to as the 2019 SWMMWW
Stormwater site plan. The comprehensive report containing all of the technical information and analysis necessary
for regulatory agencies to evaluate a proposed development project for compliance with stormwater requirements.
Contents of the Stormwater Site Plan will vary with the type and size of the project, and individual site
characteristics. It includes a Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (Construction SWPPP) and a
Permanent Stormwater Control Plan (PSC Plan). Guidance on preparing a Stormwater Site Plan is contained in
Chapter 3 of Volume I of the SWMMWW.
Stormwater Treatment and Flow Control BMPs/Facilities. Detention facilities, treatment BMPs/facilities,
bioretention, vegetated roofs, and permeable pavements that help meet Minimum Requirements No.6 (Treatment),
Minimum Requirement No.7 (Flow Control), or both as described in ECDC 18.30.060.
Threshold discharge area. An area within a project site draining to a single natural discharge location or multiple
natural discharge locations that combine within one -quarter mile downstream (as determined by the shortest
flowpath). The examples in Figure 1: Example TDA Delineations below,illustrate this definition. The purpose of
this definition is to clarify how the thresholds of this code are applied to project sites with multiple discharge points

B. Illicit Discharges and Connections. Non-stormwater illicit discharges, including spills, into the MS4,
groundwaters, or a water body from any developed or undeveloped lands are prohibited per ECDC Chapter
7.200.
C. Thresholds and Applicability
1. The thresholds outlined in this section are only applicable to ECDC 18.30.060.C. See also the Edmonds
Stormwater Addendum for supplemental information on thresholds.
a. All development shall be required to comply with Minimum Requirement No. 2.
b. Category 1 project sites shall comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 5. Category 1
includes projects that:
i. Result in 2,000 square feet, or greater, of new plus replaced hard surface area, or
ii. Have land disturbing activity of 7,000 square feet or greater.
c. Category 2 project sites shall comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 9. Category 2
includes projects that:
i. Result in 5,000 square feet, or greater, of new plus replaced hard surface area, or
ii. Convert 0.75 acres, or more, of vegetation to lawn or landscaped areas, or
iii. Convert 2.5 acres, or more, of native vegetation to pasture.
2. Additional Requirements for road -related projects. For road -related projects, runoff from the new and
replaced hard surfaces (including pavement, shoulders, curbs, and sidewalks) and the converted vegetation
areas shall meet all the minimum requirements only if the new hard surfaces total 5,000 square feet or more
and total 50 percent or more of the existing hard surfaces within the project limits. Otherwise, the minimum

thresholds in (1) above. The project limits shall be defined by the length of the project and the width of the
right-of-way.
3. New Connections to the City's MS4 when the proposed connection does not involve activity that meets the
definition of development. Sites that are not currently connected to the City's MS4 but that wish to connect
directly or indirectly to the City's MS4 may be allowed on a case -by -case basis, subject to City approval.
For sites that propose to drain greater than or equal to 2,000 square feet of hard surface area to the City's
MS4, the project shall comply with the requirement of this chapter, treating all hard surfaces to be drained
to the City system as new hard surfaces, unless applicant can demonstrate that the site will discharge in the
same manner and quantities prior to the proposed project. Applicant shall account for natural dispersion
and/or infiltration which may be occurring if these new hard surfaces area currently drain through pervious
areas.
4. Minimum Requirements may be met for an equivalent (flow and pollution characteristics) area. The
equivalent area may be within the same TDA. If the equivalent area is outside the TDA, or off -site, the
equivalent area must drain to the same receiving water and the guidance for equivalent facilities using in -
basin transfers must be followed, as detailed in Appendix D of Volume 1 of SWMMWW.

Chapter 18.30 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
Page 13/25
D. Minimum Technical Requirements. This section describes the minimum technical requirements for stormwater
management at development sites.
1. Minimum Requirement No. 1 — Preparation of Stormwater Site Plans
The City shall require a Stormwater Site Plan from all projects meeting the thresholds in ECDC
18.30.060.C. Stormwater Site Plans shall use site -appropriate development principles to retain native
vegetation and minimize impervious surfaces to the extent feasible. Stormwater Site Plans shall be prepared
in accordance with Chapter 3 of Volume 1 of the SWMMWW and the requirements in the Edmonds
Stormwater Addendum.
2. Minimum Requirement No. 2 — Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
a. Thresholds:
i. All development projects are responsible for preventing erosion and discharge of sediment
and other pollutants into receiving waters. Compliance with this minimum requirement can be
achieved for an individual site if the site is covered under Ecology's General NPDES Permit
for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activities and fully implementing
the requirements of that permit.
ii. A Construction SWPPP is required for all projects which a) result in 2,000 square feet or
more of new plus replaced hard surface area, b) where a structure with an exterior hard
surface area of at least 2,000 square feet is being demolished, c) which disturb 7,000 square
feet or more of land, or d) when the site falls within the Earth Subsidence Landslide Hazard
Area, Landslide Hazard Area or steep slope critical area. Projects that do not meet any of the
above criteria are not required to prepare a Construction SWPPP, but must consider all of the
elements listed below for Construction SWPPPs and develop controls for all Construction
SWPPP elements that pertain to the project site.
b. General Requirements:
i. The SWPPP shall include a narrative and drawings. All BMPs shall be clearly referenced in
. the narrative and marked on the drawings. The SWPPP narrative shall include documentation
to explain and justify the pollution prevention decisions made for the project. Each of the
thirteen elements referenced below must be considered and included in the SWPPP unless site
conditions render the element unnecessary and the exemption from that element is clearly
justified in the narrative of the SWPPP.
ii. Clearing and grading activities for developments shall be permitted only if conducted
pursuant to an approved site development plan (e.g., building permit, subdivision approval)
that establishes permitted areas of clearing, grading, cutting, and filling. These permitted
clearing and grading areas and any other areas required to preserve critical or sensitive areas,
buffers, native growth protection easements, or tree retention areas as required by the City,
shall be delineated on the site plans and the development site.
iii. The SWPPP shall be implemented beginning with initial land disturbance and until final
stabilization. Sediment and Erosion control BMPs shall be consistent with the BMPs
contained in Chapter 4 of Volume II of the SWMMWW.
c. Seasonal Work Limitations:
From October 1 through April 30, clearing, grading, and other soil disturbing activities may only be
authorized by the City if it can be demonstrated that silt -laden runoff will be prevented from leaving
the site through a combination of the following:
Version: July 2021
Packet Pg. 166
Edmonds Page 14/25
Chapter 18.30 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
i. Site conditions including existing vegetative coverage, slope, soil type, and proximity to
receiving waters; and
ii. Limitations on activities and the extent of disturbed areas; and
iii. Proposed erosion and sediment control measures, in accordance with ECDC 18.30.060.D.2.d
below.
Based on the information provided and/or local weather conditions, the City may expand or restrict the
seasonal limitation on site disturbance. The following activities are exempt from the seasonal clearing
and grading limitations, except for sites lying in whole or in part within an earth subsidence and
landslide hazard area as defined by ECDC 19.10.020.F:
Routine maintenance and necessary repair of erosion and sediment control BMPs,
ii. Routine maintenance of public facilities or existing utility structures that do not expose the
soil or result in the removal of the vegetative cover to soil, and
iii. Activities where there is one hundred percent infiltration of surface water runoff within the
site in approved and installed erosion and sediment control facilities.
d. Construction SWPPP Elements
Construction SWPPP elements are required in accordance with Chapter 3, Section 3.4.2 of
Volume I of the SWMMWW and the requirements in the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum
3. Minimum Requirement No. 3 — Source Control of Pollution
All known, available and reasonable source control BMPs must be required for all projects approved by the
City. Source control BMPs must be selected, designed, and maintained in accordance with Volume IV of
the SWMMWW. All single family residential projects shall, at a minimum, incorporate required BMPs
from SWMMWW Volume IV, S411 — BMPs for Landscaping and Lawn/Vegetation Management.
4. Minimum Requirement No. 4 — Preservation of Natural Drainage Systems and Outfalls
Natural drainage patterns shall be maintained, and discharges from the project site shall occur at the natural
location, to the maximum extent practicable. The manner by which runoff is discharged from the project
site must not cause a significant adverse impact to downstream receiving waters and down gradient
properties. The discharge must have an identified overflow route that is safe and certain, and leads to the
ultimate outfall location (such as a receiving water or municipal drainage system). All outfalls require
energy dissipation.
To demonstrate compliance with this core requirement, all projects shall submit an off -site qualitative
analysis. If an existing problem (or potential future problem after development) is identified, mitigation
will be required to prevent worsening of that problem. A quantitative analysis may be required for any
project deemed to need additional information or where the project proponent or the City determines that a
quantitative analysis is necessary to evaluate the off -site impacts or the capacity of the conveyance system.
See the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum for additional details on complying with this requirement.
5. Minimum Requirement No. 5 — On -site Stormwater Management
a. Applicability:
On -site Stormwater Management BMPs are required in accordance with the following project
thresholds, standards, and lists to infiltrate, disperse, and retain stormwater runoff on -site to the extent
feasible without causing flooding or erosion impacts. See the SWMMWW and the Edmonds
Stormwater Addendum for additional details on On -site Stormwater Management BMP infeasibility.
Version: July 2021
Packet Pg. 167
Edmonds
Chapter 18.30 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
b. Project Thresholds:
Page 15/25
There are five project scenarios outlined below that determine the applicability of Minimum
Requirement No. 5 — On -site Stormwater Management. The first four scenarios apply to projects that
discharge directly or indirectly to the City's MS4. The fifth scenario applies to project discharges that
do not enter the City's MS4. Note that more than one of the five scenarios may apply to a given
proj ect:
Retrofit. Projects that discharge directly or indirectly to the City's MS4 and that contain
existing hard surfaces on the parcel or common plan of development that do not drain to an
approved stormwater management facility are required to provide On -site Stormwater
Management BMPs to manage a portion of those existing hard surfaces that will remain after
project completion. BMPs from List No.1 (See ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.d) shall be applied to a
minimum of 25 percent of those existing unmanaged surfaces, but to no more than the area
equal to the proposed new plus replaced hard surfaces.
Within the Perrinville Creek basin, the retrofit value shall be increased from 25% to 50%.
Only for those existing unmanaged hard surfaces that remain after project completion,
applicants are not required to evaluate BMPs in priority order or document infeasibility for
these existing surfaces (as is required under ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.b [ii] and [iii] below).
However, if it is determined that the minimum percentage requirement cannot be met due to
BMP infeasibility, documentation of BMP infeasibility is required. In addition, when runoff
from unmanaged hard surfaces is mixed with runoff from managed hard surfaces, those BMPs
must be selected and designed for all areas which contribute runoff to the BMP (per sections
[ii] and [iii] below). See the SWMMWW and the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum for
additional details on On -site Stormwater Management BMP infeasibility.
ii. This requirement is specific to minimum requirement #5 only. The surfaces treated by this
requirement do no need to be added to project thresholds or mitigated under other minimum
requirements. Impervious surfaces disturbed solely for installation of BMPs proposed to
satisfy this requirement need not be consider as replaced hard surfaces for the
project. Category 1. Category 1 project sites that discharge directly or indirectly to the City's
MS4 and are required to comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 5 (per
ECDC 18.30.060.C) shall either:
a. Use On -site Stormwater Management BMPs from List No.l for all new plus replaced
hard surfaces and land disturbed (See ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.d); or
b. Demonstrate compliance with the LID Performance Standard (See ECDC
18.30.060.D.5.c). Projects selecting this option cannot use rain gardens. They may choose
to use bioretention BMPs as described in the SWMMWW.
iii. Category 2. Category 2 project sites that discharge directly or indirectly to the City's MS4
and are required to comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 9 (per ECDC
18.30.060.C) shall either:
a. Use On -site Stormwater Management BMPs from List No.2 for all new plus replaced
hard surfaces and land disturbed (See ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.e); or
b. Demonstrate compliance with the LID Performance Standard (See ECDC
18.30.060.D.5.c). Projects selecting this option cannot use rain gardens. They may
choose to use bioretention BMPs as described in the SWMMWW.
iv. Direct Discharge Requirement. Projects that discharge directly to Puget Sound through the
City's MS4 (in accordance with the restrictions applicable to direct discharges to Puget Sound
presented in Section 3.4.7 of Volume I of the SWMMWW) do not have to achieve the LID
Version: July 2021
Packet Pg. 168
Edmonds
Chapter 18.30 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
Page 16/25
Performance Standard, nor consider bioretention, rain gardens, permeable pavement, or full
dispersion, but must implement BMP T5.13 (Post -Construction Soil Quality & Depth); BMPs
T5.10A Downspout Full Infiltration Systems, T5.1013 Downspout Dispersion Systems, or
T5.1013 Perforated Stub -out Connections; and BMP T5.11 Concentrated Flow Dispersion or
T5.12 Sheet Flow Dispersion; if feasible for all new plus replaced hard surfaces and land
disturbed. See the SWMMWW and the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum for additional details
on On -site Stormwater Management BMP infeasibility
V. Projects that do not drain directly or indirectly to the City's MS4 are required to implement
one of the following:
a. Project sites may discharge to the downstream private property (e.g., projects located
above BNSF property) with approval from the downstream property owner(s).
b. Project sites may discharge runoff to an on -site system.
For sites located within earth subsidence and landslide hazard areas or their
buffers, a geotechnical design, analysis, and report by a geotechnical
engineer is required for the on -site system. On -site Stormwater
Management BMPs from List No.I in ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.d shall be
evaluated for all new plus replaced hard surfaces and land disturbed.
Projects are not required to evaluate BMPs in priority order or document
infeasibility. The project applicant may be subject to an extra permit
processing fee for City review of the geotechnical analysis. Projects are
required to comply with all other applicable City requirements, such as
ECDC 19.10 (earth subsidence and landslide hazard areas).
ii. For sites located outside earth subsidence and landslide hazard areas or their
buffers, ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.ii and ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.iii shall be
followed to evaluate site appropriate BMP's.
c. Subject to prior approval by the City, project sites may pump on -site runoff to the City's
MS4. A quantitative downstream analysis in accordance with Minimum Requirement
No. 4 and the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum will be required. If the City's MS4 does
not have adequate capacity to receive the applicant's pumped flows, the applicant is
required to install an on -site detention system to store runoff and pump it to the MS4 at
an approved rate.
vi. Projects under 2,000 SF of new plus replaced hard surfaces which discharge to an existing
BMP with a surfaces overflow, shall expand the BMP size for the proposed new plus replaced
hard surfaces based on existing design data.
Alternatively, or where existing design data can not be found, the project shall
discharge to a separate system appropriate sized per the designer.
c. LID Performance Standard
For projects that elect to meet the LID Performance Standard to comply with ECDC 18.30.060.D.b (ii)
and (iii), Stormwater discharges shall match developed discharge durations to pre -developed durations
for the range of pre -developed discharge rates from 8 percent of the 2-year peak flow to 50 percent of
the 2-year peak flow from the project site. Refer to the Standard Flow Control Requirement section in
Minimum Requirement No. 7 for information about the assignment of the pre -developed condition.
Project sites that must also meet Minimum Requirement No. 7 shall match flow durations between 8
percent of the 2-year flow through the full 50-year flow.

• Extensions equal to or less than the length of the project frontage would be anticipated
and generally not consider for an exception to 18.30.060.D.5.f.i.
• Extension exceeding the project frontage length will be considered on a case -by -case
basis for exception to 18.30.060.D.5.f.i.
6. Minimum Requirement No. 6 — Runoff Treatment
a. Project Thresholds: When assessing road -related projects against the following thresholds, only
consider those hard and pervious surfaces that are subject to this minimum requirement per ECDC
18.30.060.C.2. For all other projects, the requirements apply to the new plus replaced hard surfaces
and the converted vegetation areas. The following require construction of stormwater treatment
facilities:
Projects in which the total of pollution -generating hard surface (PGHS) is 5,000 square feet or
more in a threshold discharge area of the project, or
ii. Projects in which the total of pollution -generating pervious surfaces (PGPS) — not including
permeable pavements — is 0.75 acres or more in a threshold discharge area, and from which
there will be a surface discharge in a natural or man-made conveyance system from the site.
b. Treatment -Type Thresholds and Facility Sizing:
Treatment -Type Thresholds in accordance with Section 1.2, Volume III of the SWMMWW
Phosphorus treatment shall be required for projects draining to Hall Creek and Lake
Ballinger.
ii. Treatment Facility Sizing, including Water Quality Design Storm Volume, Water Quality
Design Flow Rate, and Downstream Facilities, in accordance with Chapter 3, Section 3.4.6,
Volume I of the SWMMWW.
c. Treatment Facility Selection, Design, and Maintenance
Stormwater treatment facilities shall be:
Selected in accordance with the process identified in Chapter 1 of Volume III of the
SWMMWW,
ii. Designed in accordance with the design criteria in Volume V of the SWMMWW, and
iii. Maintained in accordance with the maintenance schedule in Volume V of the SWMMWW.
d. Additional Requirements
The discharge of untreated stormwater from pollution -generating hard surfaces to ground water
will not be authorized by the City except for infiltration or dispersion of runoff through BMPs
designed and implemented per ECDC 18.30 and SWMMWW.
Minimum Requirement No. 7 — Flow Control
a. Applicability: Flow control is required on projects meeting the thresholds summarized below to reduce
the impacts of stormwater runoff from hard surfaces and land cover conversions.
Flow control in accordance with Minimum Requirement No. 7 is not required for projects that
discharge directly to, or indirectly through the City's MS4 to Puget Sound subject to the restrictions of
the TDA Exemption (aka. direct discharge exemption) per SWMMWW Section 3.4.7 of Volume I
(other minimum requirements may still apply). See ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.b.iv and Section 3.4.7 of
Volume I of the SWMMWW for additional restrictions applicable to direct discharges to Puget Sound.

Edmonds Page 20/25
Chapter 18.30 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
If the discharge drains to a stream that leads to a wetland, or to a wetland that has an outflow to a
stream, both this minimum requirement (Minimum Requirement No. 7) and Minimum Requirement
No. 8 apply.
b. Thresholds: When assessing road -related projects against the following thresholds, only consider only
those impervious, hard, and pervious surfaces that are subject to this minimum requirement per ECDC
18.30.060.C.2. For all other projects, the requirements apply to the new plus replaced hard surfaces
and the converted vegetation areas. The following circumstances require achievement of the standard
flow control requirement for western Washington:
Projects in which the total of effective impervious surfaces is 10,000 square feet or more in a
threshold discharge area, or
ii. Projects that convert 0.75 acres or more of vegetation to lawn or landscape, or convert 2.5
acres or more of native vegetation to pasture in a threshold discharge area, and from which
there is a surface discharge in a natural or man-made conveyance system from the site, or
iii. Projects that through a combination of hard surfaces and converted vegetation areas cause a
0.10 cubic feet per second (cfs) increase or greater in the 100-year flow frequency from a
threshold discharge area as estimated using the Western Washington Hydrology Model or
other approved model and one -hour time steps (or a 0.15 cfs increase or greater using 15-
minute time steps).
Standard Flow Control Requirement (applies to discharges directly or indirectly to the City's MS4,
except for projects that meet the direct discharge requirements outlined in "a" above and/or projects
discharging to Perrinville Creek): Stormwater discharges shall match developed discharge durations to
pre -developed durations for the range of pre -developed discharge rates from 50 percent of the 2-year
peak flow up to the full 50-year peak flow. The pre -developed condition to be matched shall be a
forested land cover unless reasonable, historic information is available that indicates the site was
prairie prior to settlement (modeled as "pasture" in the Western Washington Hydrology Model). This
standard requirement is waived for sites that will reliably infiltrate all the runoff from hard surfaces
and converted vegetation areas.
d. Perrinville Basin Flow Control Standard (applies to all discharges within the Perrinville Creek basin)
shall be an elevated level of flow control design. Discharges to the Perrinville Creek Basin shall
maintain the durations of high flows at their predevelopment levels for all flows greater than one-half
of the 2-year flow up to the 50-year flow AND holding the 100-year peak flow rate at its
predevelopment level. The predevelopment peak flow rates for the 2-year and 10-year runoff events
are also intended to be maintained.
e. Additional Requirement: Flow Control BMPs shall be selected, designed, and maintained in
accordance with Volume III of the SWMMWW or an approved equivalent.
8. Minimum Requirement No. 8 — Wetlands Protection
a. Applicability: The requirements below apply only to projects whose stormwater discharges into a
wetland, either directly or indirectly through a conveyance system.
b. Thresholds: The thresholds identified in Minimum Requirement No. 6 — Runoff Treatment, and
Minimum Requirement No. 7 — Flow Control shall also be applied to determine the applicability of
this requirement to discharges to wetlands.
c. Standard Requirement: Projects shall comply with Guide Sheets No. 1 through No. 3 in Appendix I-D
of the SWMMWW. The hydrologic analysis shall use the existing land cover condition to determine
the existing hydrologic conditions unless directed otherwise by a regulatory agency with jurisdiction.

d. Additional Requirements: Stormwater treatment and flow control facilities shall not be built within a
natural vegetated buffer, except for:
Necessary conveyance systems as approved by the City; or
ii. As allowed in wetlands approved for hydrologic modification or treatment in accordance with
Guide Sheet 2 in Appendix I-D of the SWMMWW.
An adopted and implemented basin plan prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of
Appendix 1 of the Phase II NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit.
9. Minimum Requirement No. 9 — Operation and Maintenance
An operation and maintenance manual that is consistent with the provisions in Volume I and Volume V of
the SWMMWW is required for proposed Stormwater Treatment and Flow Control BMPs/facilities. The
party (or parties) responsible for maintenance and operation shall be identified in the operation and
maintenance manual. For private facilities approved by the City, a copy of the operation and maintenance
manual shall be retained on -site or within reasonable access to the site, and shall be transferred with the
property to the new owner. For public facilities, a copy of the operation and maintenance manual shall be
retained in the appropriate department. A log of maintenance activity that indicates what actions were taken
shall be kept and be available for inspection.
18.30.070 Exceptions, Adjustments, and Appeals.
A. Exceptions.
1. The Director may approve a request for an exception to the minimum requirements of this chapter
following legal public notice of an application for an exception and of the Director's decision on the
application. All legal public notice related to this request for an exception shall be in the manner prescribed
in ECDC 20.03.002 and the applicant shall pay all costs to publish the legal public notices required by this
provision. The Director shall provide and keep written findings of fact of the decision.
2. The approval of the exception shall only be granted when the applicant demonstrates that the requirement
would cause a severe and unexpected economic hardship. To determine whether the requirement imposes a
severe and unexpected economic hardship on the project applicant, the applicant must document for City
review and approval, all of the following, at a minimum:
a. The current, pre -project use of the site; and
b. How application of the requirement(s) for which an exception is being requested restricts the proposed
use of the site compared to the restrictions that existed prior to adoption of this chapter; and
c. The possible remaining uses of the site if the exception were not granted; and
d. The possible uses of the site that would have been allowed prior to the adoption of this chapter; and
e. A comparison of the estimated amount and percentage of value loss as a result of the requirements
versus the estimated amount and percentage of value loss as a result of requirements that existed prior
to adoption of the requirements of this chapter; and
f. The feasibility of the applicant to alter the project to apply the requirements of this chapter.
3. Any exception must meet the following criteria:
a. The exception will not increase risk to the public health and welfare, nor be injurious to other
properties in the vicinity and/or downstream, and to the quality of waters of the state; and

Page 23/25
requirements and responsibilities for long-term management and maintenance the applicable BMP(s). Maintenance
covenants shall be as specified in City Engineering Division documents or approved by the Director, and recorded
with Snohomish County and on all proper deeds [Ord. 3792 § 1, 2010].
18.30.090 Post Construction Inspection and Maintenance Roles and Responsibilities.
Proper construction inspection and maintenance of stormwater facilities is essential for the protection of the City's
MS4 and the environment.
A. Stormwater Maintenance and Inspection Standards. Stormwater facilities shall be inspected and maintained per
the requirements of Volume I and Volume V of the SWMMWW. For systems which do not have a maintenance
standard, the owner shall develop a standard based on guidelines from the manufacturer, designer, or a registered
professional engineer and submit the standards to the Director for approval. The purpose of the maintenance
standard is to determine if maintenance is required. The maintenance standard is not a measure of the facility's
required condition at all times between inspections. Exceeding the maintenance standard between inspections is not
a violation of this chapter.
B. Ownership. Stormwater facilities are either privately or publicly owned and maintained. All stormwater facilities
that serve private property are private, unless an agreement between the property owner and the City states
otherwise. Stormwater facilities that are privately owned by a homeowner's association or similar organization also
are private. The City may offer an incentive program to owners to support the proper maintenance of private storm
drainage facilities.
C. Public Stormwater Facilities. The City shall be responsible for operating, maintaining, repairing, and replacing
public stormwater facilities as funded through the Stormwater Utility.
D. Maintenance and Inspection of Permanent Facilities. All privately owned storm drainage facilities or controls
shall be maintained by the owner, or the homeowner or owner association ("owner") if one is established as part of a
residential or commercial development. All private storm drainage facilities shall be regularly inspected to ensure
proper operation and shall monitor the facility or control as required or as set forth in the SWMMWW. The Owner
shall maintain records of inspection and maintenance, disposal receipts, and monitoring results. The records shall
catalog the action taken, the person who took it, the date said action was taken, how it was done, and any problems
encountered or follow-up actions required. The records shall be made available to the City upon request. The Owner
shall maintain a copy of the Stormwater Operations and Maintenance Manual (if required) on site, and shall make
reference to such document in real property records filed with Snohomish County, so others who acquire real
property served by the privately owned storm drainage facilities or controls are notified of their obligation to
maintain such facilities or controls.
E. City Inspection of private stormwater facilities. The City shall have the authority to periodically inspect private
stormwater facilities, including low impact development stormwater facilities, for compliance with this chapter.
F. Right of Entry. An authorized representative of the City may enter private property at all reasonable times to
conduct inspections, tests or to carry out other duties imposed by the a state or Federal program provided that the
City makes a good faith effort to notify the property owner or person responsible for the premises prior to entering
and presents proper credentials to that person. If entry is refused or cannot be obtained, the Director shall have
recourse to every remedy provided by law to secure entry, including but not limited to, obtaining an administrative
warrant for entry.
G. Right of Entry for Illicit Discharge. In the event of an illicit discharge from a privately -owned stormwater facility
caused by improper maintenance or operation or other circumstance, the provisions of ECC 7.200 shall apply.
H. Maintenance Responsibilities. Upon written notice by the City, a private stormwater facility shall be promptly
repaired and/or brought up to applicable standards by the property owner or the person responsible for said facility.
If a private stormwater facility serves multiple lots and the responsibility for maintenance has not been specified on
a recorded subdivision plat, short plat, or other legal document, maintenance, operation and repair responsibility

Page 24/25
shall rest with the homeowners' association, if one exists, or otherwise with the properties served by the facility, or
finally, with the owners of the property on which the facilities are located.
I. Disposal of Waste from Maintenance Activities. Disposal of waste from maintenance activities shall be conducted
in accordance with the minimum Functional Standards for Solid Waste Handling, Chapter 173-304 WAC,
guidelines for disposal of waste materials from storm water maintenance activities, and where appropriate, the
Dangerous Waste Regulations, Chapter 173-303 WAC.
18.30.100 Enforcement Procedures.
A. General enforcement action shall be in accordance with this chapter whenever a person has violated any
provision of this chapter. The choice of enforcement action is at the discretion of the City.
B. Civil Penalties Adopted. ECDC Chapter 20.110 enforcement procedures are herein adopted in full, as modified in
this chapter, with the proviso that repeat offenders or violations deemed an immediate public hazard shall be subject
to compliance and appeal timelines as deemed appropriate by the Director based on the specific nature of the
violation.
C. Maintenance Orders. The Director shall have the authority to issue to an owner or person an order to maintain or
repair a component of a stormwater facility or BMP to bring it into compliance with this chapter, the SWMMWW,
the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum, and the Edmonds Community Development Code. The order shall include:
1. A description of the specific nature, extent and time of the violation and the damage or potential damage
that reasonably might occur;
2. A notice that the violation or the potential violation cease and desist and, in appropriate cases, the specific
corrective actions to be taken; and
3. A reasonable time to comply, depending on the circumstances.
D. Civil Penalty. A person who fails to comply with the requirements of this chapter, who fails to conform to an
approval or order issued, who undertakes development without first obtaining approval, or who fails to comply with
a stop work order issued under these regulations shall be subject to a civil penalty levied in accordance with the
provisions of ECDC Chapter 20.110; provided, however, that the appeal process shall commence with a notice of
violation as provided in ECDC 20.110.040.13.
1. Civil penalties for code violations shall be imposed in accordance with the provisions of ECDC Chapter
20.110; provided, however, that in addition to the penalties set forth in that chapter, the hearing examiner
is authorized to levy a penalty of up to twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) per occurrence based upon an
assessment of the following factors. Where such factors are present, the hearing examiner is authorized to
levy such penalty after taking into consideration the full impact of the violation and any mitigating
circumstances (see subsection (2) below):
a. The violation created a risk to public health and the significance of the risk.
b. The violation damaged the environment and the significance of the damage.
c. The violation caused damage to public and private property and the significance of such damage.
d. A history of similar violations, if any.
e. The economic benefit of the violations, if any, to the person or entity responsible for the violations.
2. Mitigating circumstances which may be used to offset or reduce the time resulting from the application of
the preceding factors are limited to:
a. Full compliance with a voluntary compliance agreement and no history of similar violations.
Version: July 2021
Packet Pg. 177
8.2.b
Edmonds
Chapter 18.30 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
Page 25/25
b. Full compliance with a voluntary compliance agreement and a history of one or two similar violations
(lesser reduction).
c. A "voluntary compliance agreement' is defined as a legally binding agreement entered into between
the City and the alleged violators, by which the violator(s) acknowledge the existence of the violation,
waive all appeal rights, and agree to and do pay a fine in an amount stipulated to between the violator
and the City.
If the violation(s) are not corrected as ordered, or a voluntary compliance agreement is not entered into
within that time period and no appeal is filed, the penalty for the next 15-day period shall be 150 percent of
the initial penalties, and the penalties for the next 15-day period shall be 200 percent of the initial penalties.
The intent of this subsection is to increase penalties beyond the maximum penalties stated as an additional
means to achieve timely compliance.
Unless otherwise provided in a voluntary compliance agreement, civil penalties shall be paid within 30
days of service of the notice and order or stop work order if not appealed. Payment of the civil penalties
assessed under this chapter does not relieve a person found to be responsible for a code violation of his or
her duty to correct the violation or to pay any and all civil penalties or other cost assessments issued
pursuant to this chapter.
The City may suspend immediate payment of civil penalties if the person responsible for a code violation
has entered into a voluntary compliance agreement. Penalties shall begin to accrue again pursuant to the
terms of the voluntary compliance agreement if any necessary permits applied for are denied, canceled or
not pursued, if corrective action identified in the voluntary compliance agreement is not completed as
specified, or if the property is allowed to return to a condition similar to that condition which gave rise to
the voluntary compliance agreement; provided, however, that additional penalties shall not be imposed
until additional notice and opportunity for hearing have been provided in accordance with ECDC Chapter
20.110.
Civil penalties assessed create joint and several personal obligations in all persons responsible for a code
violation.
E. The determination of the hearing examiner issued in accordance with ECDC Chapter 20.110 shall be appealable
to the Snohomish County superior court in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 36.70C RCW.
F. The remedies provided for in this section shall not be exclusive. The City may also use other civil and
administrative remedies available to it, including but not limited to the remedies provided in ECDC Title 19 and the
state building and dangerous buildings codes.

1 INTRODUCTION
This Edmonds Stormwater Addendum (Addendum) provides direction for implementing the City of
Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Chapter 18.30, Stormwater Management. The City of
Edmonds is required to regulate stormwater discharges to the municipal stormwater system and to waters
of the state, in compliance with the Western Washington Phase II National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Stormwater Permit (the Permit). Under the Permit, the City must
establish and apply the minimum requirements specified in the Permit and provide design guidance for
stormwater quality and quantity control for development projects in Edmonds. Through ECDC
Chapter 18.30 and this Addendum, the City is complying with federal requirements under the Clean Water
Act and the Permit.
This Addendum is organized into 7 chapters, briefly summarized below:
• Chapter 2 — How to Use this Addendum includes information on how to use the Addendum in
conjunction with the ECDC and Ecology's 2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western
Washington (SWMMWW), and to clarify for users where the ECDC, SWMMWW, or Addendum
apply.
• Chapter 3 — Applicability of the Minimum Requirements includes details on the thresholds
that determine the applicability of the minimum requirements to different projects. This
information is based on SWMMWW Volume I, Section 3.3, but has been updated to reflect the
specific requirements of ECDC 18.30. Chapter 3 also includes a brief summary of how

2 HOW TO USE THIS ADDENDUM
Review ECDC Chapter 18.30.030 and 18.30.040 to determine if the City's Stormwater Code and this
Addendum apply to your project. Review the definitions section of ECDC Chapter 18.30.10 (and if
necessary the Glossary in SWMMWW Volume I, Appendix G for clarification on terminology used in
ECDC Chapter 18.30 and this Addendum.
As per ECDC Chapter 18.30.60, the stormwater management requirements in the City of Edmonds —
including but not limited to thresholds, definitions, minimum requirements, adjustment and variance
criteria, and exceptions to these requirements — shall be governed by the 2019 SWMMWW, with
additional requirements and modifications as outlined in the provisions of ECDC Chapter 18.30 and this
Addendum. Project proponents must review ECDC 18.30 (18.30.060 in particular) and this Addendum to
identify how the City's requirements and the requirements of the SWMMWW apply to a given project. In
the event of inconsistencies between the various provisions, the more stringent provisions shall apply,
unless otherwise approved by the City. Where requirements in this Addendum are also covered in any
other law, ordinance, resolution, rule, or regulation of any kind (i.e., outside of ECDC Chapter 18.30), the
more restrictive requirement shall govern, unless otherwise approved by the City.
This Addendum includes information to supplement or elaborate on the guidelines and requirements
outlined in ECDC Chapter 18.30 and the SWMMWW. To highlight for Addendum users where the
ECDC, SWMMWW, or Addendum apply, the following sections outline the general applicability of each
document, summarized according to the organization of the SWMMWW. Note however that the
SWMMWW is not always written in a manner that is suitable as a municipal regulatory tool, therefore
there are known overlaps among the ECDC, SWMMWW, and Addendum. As such, this section is only
intended to be a guide, not a definitive resource on SWMMWW applicability. When questions or
potential inconsistencies arise, project proponents should contact the City for clarification and
interpretation.

3 APPLICABILITY OF THE MINIMUM
REQUIREMENTS
This chapter is based on SWMMWW Volume I, Section 2.4, however the content below has been
updated to reflect the specific requirements of ECDC 18.30. Project proponents must review
ECDC 18.30 in detail. The following provides additional information and direction on the thresholds and
applicability of minimum requirements outlined in ECDC 18.30.060.
Project proponents must be aware that not all of the minimum requirements apply to every development
project. The applicability varies depending on the project type and size. This chapter summarizes
thresholds that determine the applicability of the minimum requirements to different projects. Review
ECDC 18.30.060 and use the flow chart in Figure 3.1 to determine which of the minimum requirements
apply to your project. (The minimum requirements themselves are provided in 18.30.060.D and are
summarized in Chapter 5 of this Addendum).
The thresholds described below and in Figure 3.1 are to be determined at the time of application for a
subdivision, plat, short plat, building permit, or other construction permit. For projects involving only
land disturbing activities, (e.g., clearing or grading), the thresholds apply at the time of application for the
permit allowing or authorizing that activity.

3.1 THRESHOLDS AND APPLICABILITY
All development shall be required to comply with Minimum Requirement No. 2.
The following Category 1 project sites shall comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 5:
• Results in 2,000 square feet, or greater, of new plus replaced hard surface area, or
• Have land disturbing activity of 7,000 square feet or greater.
The following Category 2 project sites shall comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 9:
• Results in 5,000 square feet or more of new plus replaced hard surfaces, or
• Converts 0.75 acres, or more, of vegetation to lawn or landscaped areas, or
• Converts 2.5 acres, or more, of native vegetation to pasture.
3.1.1 Additional Requirements for Road -Related Projects
For road -related projects, runoff from the new hard surfaces (including pavement, shoulders, curbs, and
sidewalks) and the converted vegetation areas shall meet all the minimum requirements if the new hard
surfaces total 5,000 square feet or more. In addition, if the new hard surfaces total 5,000 square feet or
more and total 50 percent or more of the existing hard surfaces within the project limits, runoff from the
new and replaced hard surfaces and the converted vegetation areas shall meet all the minimum
requirements. The project limits shall be defined by the length of the project and the width of the right-of-
way.
3.1.2 New Connections to the City's MS4
When a property owner proposes a new connection to the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
(MS4), and the situation either 1) does not exceed the Category 1 or Category 2 thresholds above, or
2) does not involve activity that meets the definition of development, the following applies:
• Sites that are not currently connected to the City's MS4 but wish to connect directly or indirectly
to the City's MS4 may be allowed on a case -by -case basis, subject to City approval.
• For sites that propose to drain greater than or equal to 2,000 square feet of hard surface area to the
City's MS4, the project shall comply with the requirements of this chapter, treating all hard
surfaces to be drained to the City system as new hard surfaces, unless applicant can demonstrate
that the site will discharge in the same manner and quantities prior to the proposed project.
Applicant shall account for natural dispersion and/or infiltration which may be occurring if these
new hard surfaces area currently drain through pervious areas in their analysis.

Packet Pg. 191
8.2.c
3.1.3 Comparisons to the SWMMWW
Project proponents must review ECDC 18.30 in detail, but the following notes are provided to help
clarify how ECDC 18.30.060 compares to the SWMMWW regarding applicability of the minimum
requirements (see Chapter 5 for additional details on the individual minimum requirements and how they
differ from the SWMMWW):
1. ECDC 18.30 refers to "Category 1" projects and "Category 2" projects. See ECDC 18.30.060 for
complete details, but in general:
O Category 1 project sites result in 2,000 square feet, or greater, of new plus replaced hard
surface area and shall comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 5.
O Category 2 project sites result in 5,000 square feet, or greater, of new plus replaced hard
surface area and shall comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 9.
2. ECDC 18.30 does not differentiate between new development and redevelopment.
3. Information regarding which surfaces each minimum requirement applies to (e.g., new hard
surfaces, replaced hard surfaces, or both) is typically discussed under each minimum requirement
as opposed to within the initial applicability section.
4. In addition to item No. 3 above, ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.b includes a retrofit requirement for
projects that discharge directly or indirectly to the City's MS4 and that contain existing hard
surfaces that do not drain to an approved stormwater management facility. These projects are
required to provide On -site Stormwater Management BMPs to manage a portion (a minimum of
25 percent) of those existing hard surfaces that will remain after project completion. See ECDC
18.30.060.D.5.b for complete details on this requirement.
5. ECDC 18.30.060.D.5 also adds detention as a BMP to be considered for feasibility under
Minimum Requirement #5 in additional to those in SWMMWW, see Section 6.3.
6. As per the SWMMWW, for road -related projects, if the new hard surfaces total 5,000 square feet
or more and total 50 percent or more of the existing hard surfaces within the project limits, runoff
from the new and replaced hard surfaces shall meet all the minimum requirements. Otherwise, the
minimum requirements only apply to the new hard surfaces (if the new hard surfaces total
5,000 square feet or more). Unlike the SWMMWW, non -road -related projects do not have to
assess the valuation of the proposed improvements in order to determine the applicability of the
minimum requirements. In general, once triggered by the applicable project area thresholds (see
below and ECDC 18.30.060), the minimum requirements apply to both new and replaced hard
surfaces.
7. ECDC 18.30 and this Addendum also includes requirements for new connections to the City's
MS4, when the proposed connection does not involve activity that meets the definition of
development. See the previous section of this Addendum for additional information on new
connections.
8. ECDC 18.30 and this Addendum modify the flow modelling basin to be used in modelling, see
Section 2.6.
9. ECDC 18.30 and this Addendum requires use of the phosphorus treatment menu within the Hall's
Creek and Lake Ballinger basins; see Section 5.6.
10. Section 5.3, below, prohibits the use of corrugated metal piping (CMP) within Edmonds.

Packet Pg. 192
8.2.c
4 PROJECT BASIN LOCATION AND
APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS
4.1 DETERMINING DOWNSTREAM RECEIVING SYSTEM(S)
Broadly speaking, stormwater runoff in the City of Edmonds either travels west to Puget Sound (via a
creek or piped system) or to the east to Lake Ballinger or Hall Creek, which discharges to Lake Ballinger.
In addition to assessing the new and replaced hard surfaces and converted vegetation areas associated
with a project, the minimum requirements (primarily Minimum Requirements No. 5, No. 6, and No. 7)
can also vary depending on the project's downstream receiving waterbody and/or drainage system. The
specific details of each minimum requirement are outlined in Chapter 5, but in general, projects should
determine what type of system(s) their project site drains to early in the development process: The two
primary systems to be aware of are described below. Note that these systems are not mutually exclusive:
1. Direct Discharge areas: Those site areas that discharge runoff directly to Puget Sound via a
constructed conveyance system (e.g., pipe or ditch) without first entering a creek or other
receiving water. (See Section 3.4.7 of Volume I of the SWMMWW for the full list of restrictions
that must be met to qualify as a direct discharge.)
2. City of Edmonds Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4): Those site areas that discharge
to the City's MS4 before ultimately discharging to a downstream receiving water (e.g., a creek,
lake, or Puget Sound). See the City's NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit for the complete
MS4 definition, but this generally includes sites that discharge to a dedicated stormwater
conveyance system (including roads with drainage systems, ditches, manmade channels, or storm
drains) owned or operated by the City and that discharge to waters of Washington State
(including creeks, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and Puget Sound).
A map of watersheds in Edmonds is available via the Edmonds GIS Map that can be accessed on the
City's website here: (<www.maps.edmondswa.gov>). Direct Discharge Basins are those labeled "Puget
Sound" or "Puget Sound Piped." Edmonds Way is known to have an overflow under certain conditions
which creates a discharge to Edmonds Marsh (not considered man-made drainage course for the purposes
of this exemption), and therefore the Edmonds Way basin shall not be considered a direct discharge basin.
An applicant with site -specific information that is contrary to the basin designations shown in Figure B-1
can present this information to the Public Works Director (Director) or designee for a possible change in
basin designation. The Director or designee will make a determination on any requests for a site -specific
change in basin designation.
4.2 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Edmonds is fortunate to be located adjacent to Puget Sound and possess topography that facilitates
desirable views. The underlying soils and relatively steep slopes, however, complicate the application of
stormwater management techniques.
4. PROJECT BASIN TYPE AND APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS 11
Packet Pg. 193
8.2.c
Prior to logging and subsequent development of the Edmonds area, trees and the forest duff layer above
the soil surface (consisting primarily of needles, leaves, branches, bark, and stems in various stages of
decomposition) covered the city. With logging came the elimination of the majority of the tree canopy
and the duff layer, and with it the elimination of the water -holding capacity of the natural land cover. hi
the majority of the city, the soils that remain (after forest removal and subsequent development) consist of
till or hard pan, which is much less effective at storing or absorbing rainwater. Although this Addendum
and the SWMMWW place substantial emphasis on the use of infiltration and on -site stormwater
management techniques, the soil regime in the City of Edmonds can make this goal challenging. It is
therefore important that project sites thoroughly investigate and understand their soil conditions (as well
as other site conditions such as slope, groundwater levels, etc.) before proceeding too far with the site
stormwater design. See the submittal checklists in Appendix C (Checklists 1 through 3), BMP
infeasibility criteria in Appendix A, and SWMMWW for additional details and requirements.
In addition to challenging soil conditions, approximately 25 percent of the land area in the City of
Edmonds has a slope of 15 percent or greater or is in an Earth Subsidence and Landslide Hazard Area (the
Meadowdale area in the northernmost portion of the city). Geologic hazards in these areas can be
increased when stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces percolates into the soil. As emphasized in the
submittal checklists in Appendix C (Checklists 1 through 3), BMP infeasibility criteria in Appendix A,
and SWMMWW Chapter 3; consideration of slopes in the project vicinity is a critical component of the
site stormwater design.

5 PROJECT MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
This chapter should be used as a supplement to ECDC 18.30.060.D and SWMMWW Volume I, Chapter
3 as it emphasizes the key differences between the minimum requirements outlined in the SWMMWW
and those outlined in ECDC 18.30.060.D. Project proponents must still review ECDC 18.30.060.D in
detail, but the following text provides additional information and direction on the minimum requirements
outlined in ECDC 18.30.060.D. As noted previously in Chapter 4, once a given minimum requirement is
triggered (per the thresholds in Chapter 3), the specifics of the minimum requirement may vary depending
on the project downstream receiving waterbody and/or drainage system.
5.1 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 1 - PREPARATION OF
STORMWATER SITE PLANS
Stormwater Site Plans are required for all projects subject to Minimum Requirement No. 1, as outlined in
Chapter 3 and ECDC 18.30.060.C. Stormwater Site Plans shall be prepared in accordance with Chapter 3
of Volume III of the SWMMWW. However, because Chapter 3 of the SWMMWW includes extensive
technical requirements, but does not explicitly specify how those requirements shall be consistently
documented, submitted, and/or reviewed for a typical development project, the City of Edmonds has
developed project checklists to facilitate compliance with this minimum requirement (and thus project
submittal and review). Those checklists are introduced in Chapter 7 and provided in Appendix C,
Checklists 1 through 3.
5.2 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 2 - CONSTRUCTION
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
See ECDC 18.30.060.D.2. In addition, note that ECDC 18.30.060.D.2.d.i points to the SWMMWW
Chapter 3, Section 3.4.2 for details on the requirements for Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plans (SWPPPs), including the 13 Elements that must be reflected in the Construction SWPPP. See
Chapter 6 for additional requirements pertaining to Construction SWPPP Element No. 13 — Protect Low
Impact Development BMPs, which are not provided in the SWMMWW.
5.3 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 3 - SOURCE CONTROL
OF POLLUTION
See ECDC 18.30.060.D.3 and SWMMWW Volume IV. Note that all single-family residential projects
shall, at a minimum, incorporate required BMPs from SWMMWW Volume IV, S411 — BMPs for
Landscaping and Lawn/Vegetation Management.
5. PROJECT MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS 13
Packet Pg. 195
8.2.c
Corrugated metal pipe (CMP) has been found to be a routine failure problem in Edmonds and a potential
source of additional sediment in the City system. For this reason, CMP pipe is not permitted within
Edmonds on either public or private property or both conveyance storm pipe and for detention tanks.
5.4 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 4 - PRESERVATION OF
NATURAL DRAINAGE SYSTEMS AND OUTFALLS
See ECDC 18.30.060.D.4 and the content presented below. Although this minimum requirement is based
on Minimum Requirement No. 4 in SWMMWW Volume I, Section 3.4.4, there are enough differences
between the City's requirements and those in the SWMMWW that project proponents should not refer to
the SWMMWW for Minimum Requirement No. 4. Only ECDC 18.30.060.D.3 and the following shall be
required. To demonstrate compliance with this minimum requirement, all projects shall submit as part of
their Stormwater Site Plan an off -site analysis that assesses the potential off -site impacts of stormwater
discharges. (See the end of this section, and Chapter 6, for details on the requirements for analysis and
documentation.)
Natural drainage patterns shall be maintained, and discharges from the project site shall occur at the
natural location, to the maximum extent practicable. The manner by which runoff is discharged from the
project site must not cause a significant adverse impact to downstream receiving waters or down gradient
properties. The discharge must have an identified overflow route that is safe and certain, and leads to the
ultimate outfall location (such as a receiving water or municipal drainage system). All outfalls require
energy dissipation. (Designs for outfall systems to protect against adverse impacts from concentrated
runoff are included in SWMMWW Volume V, Chapter 1.)
In addition, existing upstream flows must be accommodated without causing erosion or flooding impacts.
Upstream drainage means drainage from adjacent property that enters the proposed project site (other than
a defined natural channel). Upstream flows shall not be routed through the project's conveyance,
treatment, or retention/detention systems, unless those systems are sized to control those flows. Upstream
flows that are collected and routed through or around the site in a separate conveyance shall be dispersed
at the downgradient property line, if feasible, or discharged at a project outfall (or outfalls) in a manner
that does not violate the criteria below or cause the capacity of a conveyance system to be exceeded.
Where no conveyance system exists at the adjacent downgradient property line and the discharge was
previously unconcentrated flow or significantly lower concentrated flow, measures must be taken to
prevent downgradient impacts. Drainage easements from downstream property owners may be needed
and should be obtained prior to approval of engineering plans.
For Category 2 projects only — where no conveyance system exists at the adjacent downstream property
line and the natural (existing) discharge is unconcentrated, any runoff concentrated by the proposed
project, including upstream drainage, must be discharged as follows:
1. If the 100-year peak discharge is less than or equal to 0.2 cfs (0.3 cfs using 15-minute time steps)
under existing conditions and will remain less than or equal to 0.2 cfs under developed
conditions, then the concentrated runoff may be discharged onto a rock pad or to any other
system that serves to disperse flows.
2. If the 100-year peak discharge is between 0.2 and 0.5 cfs (or 0.75 cfs using 15-minute time steps)
under existing conditions and will remain in that range under developed conditions, then the
14 5. PROJECT MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Packet Pg. 196
8.2.c
concentrated runoff may be discharged through a dispersal trench or other dispersal system,
provided the applicant can demonstrate that there will be no significant adverse impact to
downhill properties or drainage systems.
3. If the 100-year peak discharge is greater than 0.5 cfs for either existing or developed conditions,
or if a significant adverse impact to downgradient properties or drainage systems is likely, then a
conveyance system shall be provided to convey the concentrated runoff across the downstream
properties to an acceptable discharge point (i.e., an enclosed drainage system or open drainage
feature where concentrated runoff can be discharged without significant adverse impact).
To demonstrate compliance with this minimum requirement, all projects shall submit as part of their
Stormwater Site Plan an off -site analysis that assesses the potential off -site impacts of stormwater
discharges. Off -site analyses shall assess upstream and downstream conditions, including the conveyance
capacity and erosion potential in the downstream system. If a problem is found, mitigation is required to
prevent worsening of that problem or to mitigate an existing flooding or erosion problem. The off -site
analysis shall include, at a minimum, a qualitative analysis of each upstream drainage system entering a
site, and each downstream drainage system leaving a site. A quantitative analysis may be required for any
project deemed to need additional downstream information or where the project proponent or the City
determines that a quantitative analysis is necessary to evaluate the off -site impacts or the capacity of the
conveyance system (e.g., where there is evidence of a risk to downstream systems such as erosion,
flooding, property damage, habitat damage, water quality degradation, or other related impacts). See
Chapter 6 for additional details on off -site analyses and documentation.
5.5 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 5 - ON -SITE
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
The City has made several additions and changes to the contents of Minimum Requirement No. 5 relative
to the SWMMWW. Project proponents must review ECDC 18.30.060.D.5 in detail to ensure all City -
specific requirements are addressed. This section of the Addendum provides a summary of the City -
specific elements of Minimum Requirement No. 5.
In addition, this Addendum includes several tools to support implementation of Minimum Requirement
No. 5 and related requirements. These tools include:
A summary of infeasibility criteria for all On -Site Stormwater Management BMPs (see
Appendix A). These infeasibility criteria must be considered when evaluating the feasibility of
On -Site Stormwater Management BMPs as part of List No. 1 or List No. 2. The infeasibility
criteria are included within the specific BMP descriptions in the SWMMWW, but are
summarized in Appendix A for clarity. Appendix A also includes additional BMP infeasibility
criteria that are specific to the City of Edmonds, and not necessarily included in the 2019
SWMMWW.
2. A summary of acceptable methods for determining BMP design infiltration rates (see
Appendix B; and Appendix C, Checklist 4). Initial site infiltration rates may be determined either
using field testing procedures, or the Soil Grain Size Analysis Method. These methods are
described in detail in Appendix B.

8.2.c
A summary of site investigation and field and design procedures required for several of the On -
Site Stormwater Management BMPs as well as for infiltration basins and trenches (see
Appendix C, Checklists 5 and 6). The field and design procedures required to design and
implement On -Site Stormwater Management BMPs can be considerable, and include issues such
as determining infiltration rates, determining depth to groundwater or other impermeable layers,
soils reporting requirements, etc.
4. Submittal checklists for Category 1 and Category 2 projects, including notes on project site, soil,
and BMP design information that must be documented and submitted to the City to meet the City
of Edmonds and SWMMWW requirements related to Minimum Requirement No. 5 (and other
minimum requirements. See Appendix C, Checklists 1 through 3.
5. Design checklists for most of the On -Site Stormwater Management BMPs in List No. 1 and List
No. 2 (see Appendix D).
The applicability of Minimum Requirement No. 5 depends on the project type, project location, and the
existing and proposed surfaces at the project site. See ECDC 18.30.060.D.5 for details, but in summary:
Projects that drain directly or indirectly to the City's MS4 and that contain existing hard surfaces
that do not drain to an approved stormwater management facility are required to provide On -Site
Stormwater Management BMPs to manage a minimum of 25 percent of those existing hard
surfaces that will remain after the project. The intent is to bring a portion of any existing,
unmanaged surfaces up to current standards. If the 25 percent minimum is met, projects are not
required to evaluate BMPs in priority order or document infeasibility for these existing surfaces
(as per the subsequent project scenarios).
2. Similar to the SWMMWW, Category 1 project sites (project sites subject to Minimum
Requirements No. 1 through No. 5) that discharge directly or indirectly to the City's MS4 shall
either use On -Site Stormwater Management BMPs from List No. 1 (see ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.d)
for all new plus replaced hard surfaces and land disturbed, or demonstrate compliance with the
LID Performance Standard (See ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.c). Note that in the City of Edmonds, List
No. 1 includes detention vaults or pipes as the final BMP option for roofs and other hard surfaces.
See Chapter 6 for associated design requirements for detention vaults and pipes, including
simplified sizing methods for meeting Minimum Requirement No. 5. (Note also that if the project
is required to construct a flow control facility to comply with Minimum Requirement No. 7 (per
ECDC 18.30.060.D.7), a detention vault or pipe is not required to be installed to meet Minimum
Requirement No. 5.)
Categor,2project sites (project sites subject to Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 9) are
subject to similar requirements as Category 1 projects, but must use List No. 2 instead of List
No. 1 (see ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.e).
4. Projects that discharge directly to Puget Sound through the City's MS4 (in accordance with the
restrictions applicable to direct discharges to Puget Sound presented in Section 2.5.7 of Volume I
of the SWMMWW) do not have to achieve the LID Performance Standard, and only have to
evaluate a subset of the BMPs in List No. 1 or List No. 2.
5. Projects that do not drain directly or indirectly to the City's MS4 are required to either:
o Discharge to the downstream private property (with approval)
16 5. PROJECT MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Packet Pg. 198
8.2.c
o Discharge runoff to an on -site system from List No. 1 (see in ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.d).
■ Sites located within earth subsidence and landslide hazard areas or their buffers are not
required to evaluate BMPs in priority order or document infeasibility. However, a
geotechnical design, analysis, and report by a geotechnical engineer is required.
■ For sites located outside earth subsidence and landslide hazard areas or their buffers,
projects must meet applicable Category 1 or Category 2 project requirements for
Minimum Requirement No. 5 (see ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.ii and ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.iii).
o Project sites may pump on -site runoff to the City's MS4, with prior approval; in such cases,
projects shall meet all provisions of ECDC 18.30 as they would drain to the MS4 in post
project conditions.
6. Finally, the following guidance shall be used to help clarify the requirements in the SWMMWW
specific to List No. 1 and No. 2. Where the SWMMWW and ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.d/e states that
"for each surface, consider the BMPs in the order listed for that type of surface. Use the first
BMP that is considered feasible. No other On -Site Stormwater Management BMP is necessary
for that surface" the following clarifications are provided:
o The goal of List No. 1 and List No. 2 is to manage 100 percent of each surface. If a project
cannot manage 100 percent of a given surface with the first feasible BMP, a second BMP
may be required to manage the remaining unmanaged area (depending on the size of the
unmanaged area and the site -specific constraints). For example, where a roof surface drains to
multiple downspouts around the perimeter of the structure, it is generally insufficient to only
manage runoff that drains to a single downspout and to leave the remaining downspouts
unmanaged (i.e., due to infeasibility considerations).
7. For BMPs without specific sizing criteria in this Addendum, single family residential projects
under 2,000 SF of new plus replaced hard surfaces only, may use the simplified sizing per the
included checklist for each BMP or per Volume V of SWMMWW to satisfy Minimum
Requirement #5. However, such sizing methodology shall be assumed to generate an overflow
and a piped or subsurface overflow connection is required for such BMPs unless otherwise
waived by the City.
5.6 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 6 - RUNOFF
TREATMENT
See ECDC 18.30.060.D.6 for thresholds and core requirements. See the SWMMWW for additional
information on complying with this minimum requirement. In particular, the following sections should be
reviewed:
• Volume I, Section 3.4.6 for details on treatment facility sizing
• Volume I, Chapter 4 and Volume V, Chapters 2 and 3 for general BMP selection. Note also that
phosphorus treatment is required for projects that drain to Hall Creek or Lake Ballinger.
• Volume V for design and maintenance requirements.

5.6.1 Edmonds -Specific Oil and Floatables Control
In addition to the oil control requirements in the SWMMWW, all projects in the City of Edmonds not
zoned as single-family residential that collect runoff from five or more parking spaces shall install
floatable controls in catch basins (if another approved floatable control system is not employed).
5.7 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 7 — FLOW CONTROL
See ECDC 18.30.060.D.7 for thresholds and core requirements. See the SWMMWW for additional
information on complying with this minimum requirement (in particular, Volume I, Section 3.4.7).
Note that flow control in accordance with Minimum Requirement No. 7 is not required for projects that
discharge directly to, or indirectly through the City's MS4 to Puget Sound (other minimum requirements
still apply, including Minimum Requirement No. 6, as well as Minimum Requirement No. 5 and the
Edmonds Way direct discharge requirements). See ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.b.iv and Section 3.4.7 of
Volume I of the SWMMWW for additional restrictions applicable to direct discharges to Puget Sound.
In addition, the following information may be useful in determining the applicability of Minimum
Requirement No. 7, specifically per the 100-year flow frequency threshold outlined in
ECDC 18.30.060.D.7.b.iii:
Calculations to determine whether a project exceeds the 0.10 cubic feet per second (cfs), using a 1-hour
time step (or 0.15 cfs using a 15-minute time step) increase in the 100-year recurrence interval flow must
be performed individually for each project using an approved continuous simulation runoff model. The
calculation will compare runoff in the post development site to the pre -development land cover. Pre -
development, for this activity only, is the lower runoff of the pre project condition, or the site on July 6,
1977 (the effective date of the City's first drainage control ordinance). The unique site, soil, precipitation,
and other project -specific factors will ultimately determine whether this threshold is exceeded.
Nonetheless, the following general guidelines (based on hypothetical site designs) may be used to help
identify the likelihood of this threshold being exceeded. The following land use changes are likely to
exceed this threshold under certain conditions:
• Converting approximately 5,000 square feet of forest to hard surface
• Converting approximately 5,000 square feet of pasture to hard surface
• Converting approximately 0.25 acres of forest to landscape surface
• Converting approximately 1.25 acres of forest to pasture surfaces (in till soil conditions)

This chapter includes additional requirements that are either not included in the SWMMWW, or that are
supplemental to the information provided in the SWMMWW. Specifically, this chapter addresses:
1. Additional requirements pertaining to Construction SWPPP Element No. 13 — Protect Low
Impact Development BMPs (required in the SWMMWW.
2. Details on the off -site analyses and documentation required to comply with Minimum

6.1 PROTECTION OF LID FACILITIES DURING
CONSTRUCTION
To ensure that LID stormwater facilities and BMPs will be fully functional after construction, it is
important to protect these BMPs during construction activities. Protecting native soil and vegetation,
minimizing soil compaction, and retaining the hydrologic function of LID BMPs during the site
preparation and construction phases are some of the most important practices during the development
process.
The purpose of this section is to provide designers, builders, and inspectors with guidance and tools for
meeting Minimum Requirement No. 2, Element No. 13 — Protect Low Impact Development BMPs. This
section does not provide guidance on construction or design of LID BMPs (see SWMMWW Volume III
and Volume V), or cover all Construction SWPPP practices (see SWMMWW Volume II), but rather
focuses on how to most efficiently reduce impacts on LID BMPs specifically during construction. The
practices specified in this section must be applied to protect LID BMPs, unless the given practice
does not apply to the project site conditions or activities.
6.1.1 General Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs
Applicable to LID
Overall Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) requirements are specified in
Chapter 5, Minimum Requirement No. 2 and SWMMWW Volume II. In general, Construction SWPPP
BMPs limit the impact of site disturbance, erosion, and sediment deposition during construction. Some
Construction SWPPP BMPs focus on providing a physical barrier or deterrent to help minimize
construction -related site disturbance and/or erosion, while other Construction SWPPP BMPs help protect
6. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS 21
Packet Pg. 203
8.2.c
the site from concentrated (i.e., erosive) flows. General Construction SWPPP BMPs and their application
for protection of LID BMPs in particular are summarized below. These BMPs must be considered for
projects subject to Minimum Requirement No. 2 that are proposing to construct LID BMPs.
Construction SWPPP BMP
Application
BMP C103: High Visibility Fence
Use fencing to limit clearing; prevent disturbance of sensitive areas, their
buffers, and other areas; limit construction traffic; and protect areas
where marking with flagging may not provide adequate protection
BMP C200: Interceptor Dike and Swale
Use an interceptor dike and/or swale to intercept the runoff from
unprotected areas and direct it to areas where erosion can be controlled
BMP C201: Grass -Lined Channels
Use grass lined channels where concentrated runoff may cause erosion
and flooding of the site
BMP C207: Check Dams
Use check dams in swales or ditches to reduce the velocity and dissipate
concentrated flow
BMP C208: Triangular Silt Dike (TSD)
Use triangular silt dikes as check dams, for perimeter protection,
(Geotextile-Encased Check Dam)
temporary soil stockpile protection, drop inlet protection, or as a
temporary interceptor dike
BMP C231: Brush Barrier
Use brush barriers to decrease flow velocities and reduce transport of
coarse sediment from overland flow
BMP C233: Silt Fence
Use silt fences to decrease flow velocities and reduce transport of
sediment from overland flow
BMP C234: Vegetated Strip
Use vegetated strips to decrease flow velocities and reduce transport of
sediment from overland flow
6.1.2 Additional Construction Techniques for LID BMPs
In addition to the general Construction SWPPP BMPs presented in Section 6.1.1, this section outlines
specific construction -phase techniques to protect LID BMPs. LID BMP protection is still a somewhat
new and evolving practice, therefore the specific LID BMP protection measures outlined below are not
explicitly called out in the SWMMWW. Rather, the techniques presented in this section supplement the
Construction SWPPP BMPs presented above, and those presented in the SWMMWW Volume II. (Note
these techniques can be applied to any site, not just those incorporating LID, but these techniques are
particularly important for LID BMP protection.)
Construction Site Planning and Sequencing
Construction site planning and sequencing is a procedural BMP that is critical to successful installation
and long-term operation of LID BMPs. Proper site planning and construction sequencing will minimize
the impact of construction on permanent stormwater facilities by reducing the potential for soil erosion
and compaction. Site planning and sequencing techniques to be used as practicable for protection of LID
BMPs include:

surfaces are stabilized by revegetation or landscaping in
upland areas potentially contributing runoff to the BMP.

Activities During Construction
Many common construction -phase activities pose a risk to LID BMPs. The following techniques will help
minimize these impacts. Techniques to be used for protection of LID BMPs include:
Erosion Control Requirements
Erosion Control Techniques
Protect native topsoil during the
• Where practicable, protect areas of rich topsoil. If excavation is
construction phase, and reuse on site
necessary, stockpile native soils that can be used on the site
after construction.
• Stockpile materials in areas designated for clearing and
grading (such as parking areas and future impervious
roadways) and away from infiltration and other stormwater
facilities.
• Cover small stockpiles with weed barrier material that sheds
moisture yet allows air transmission. Large stockpiles may
need to be seeded and/or mulched.
• Do not relocate topsoil or other material to areas where they
can cover critical root zones, suffocate vegetation, or erode
into adjacent streams.
Use effective revegetation methods
• Use native plant species adapted to the local environment.
• Plant during late fall, winter, or early spring months when
vegetation is likely to establish quickly and survive.
• Utilize proper seedbed preparation.
Fertilize and mulch to protect germinating plants. Apply 1 inch
of compost topped with 2 inches of mulch.
• Protect areas designated for revegetation from soil
compaction by restricting heavy equipment.
• Provide proper soil amendments where necessary (refer to
SWMMWW, Volume V, Chapter 5, BMP T5.13 Post -
Construction Soil Quality and Depth).
Amend soil toward the end of construction. Once established,
protect from compaction and erosion.
• During storage, plants should be protected by solar screens
when possible to prevent overexposure and excessive drying.
Perform preconstruction, routine, and
• Conduct a preconstruction inspection to verify that adequate

6.1.3 BMP-Specific Construction Techniques
This section outlines construction -phase BMP protection techniques specific to categories of LID BMPs
(e.g., infiltration and dispersion) as well as specific LID BMPs (permeable pavement, bioretention
areas/rain gardens, and vegetated roofs). The BMP protection techniques presented previously in
Section 6.1.2 are applicable to the overall construction site to help protect LID BMPs. The techniques
outlined in this section are based on the specific BMP functions, targeting typical construction activities
that pose a risk to individual BMPs.
Infiltration and Dispersion Facility Construction Techniques
It is critical that appropriate methods are used to protect infiltration and dispersion BMPs from
compaction and sediment loading during construction. For infiltration facilities in particular, the subgrade
soils must be protected from clogging and over -compaction to maintain the soil permeability and ensure
BMP performance. Techniques for protection of infiltration and dispersion BMPs during various stages of
construction are summarized below.
Construction Stage
Techniques for Protecting Infiltration and Dispersion Facilities
Prior to construction
• The infiltration/dispersion area shall be clearly identified (e.g., using flagging
or high visibility fencing) and protected prior to construction to prevent
compaction of underlying soils by vehicle traffic.
• Develop a soil and vegetation management plan showing areas to be
protected and restoration methods for disturbed areas before land clearing
sta rts.
• The Construction SWPPP sheets must outline construction sequencing that will
protect the infiltration/dispersion area during construction.
• Construction SWPPP BMPs and protection techniques identified in the
previous sections shall be implemented as applicable. In particular, be sure to
stabilize upslope construction areas (e.g., using silt fences, berms, mulch, or
other Construction SWPPP BMPs) and minimize overland flow distances.
Excavation
• Excavation of infiltration/dispersion areas shall be performed by machinery
operating adjacent to the BMP. No heavy equipment with narrow tracks,
narrow tires, or large lugged high pressure tires shall be allowed on the
infiltration/dispersion area footprint.
• Where feasible, excavate infiltration/dispersion areas to final grade only after
all disturbed areas in the upgradient project drainage area have been
permanently stabilized. (If infiltration areas must be excavated before
permanent site stabilization, initial excavation must be conducted to no less
than 6 inches of the final elevation of the facility floor.)
• Excavation of infiltration areas shall not be allowed during wet or saturated
conditions.
• The use of draglines and trackhoes should be considered for constructing
infiltration and dispersion areas.
• The bottom (and sidewalls if feasible) of an infiltration facility excavation must
be raked or scarified to a minimum depth of 3 inches after final excavation to
restore infiltration rates.
• Scarify soil along the dispersion flow path if disturbed during construction.

Sediment control
. Bioretention, rain garden, and permeable pavement BMPs shall not be used as
sediment control facilities, and all drainage shall be directed away from the
BMP location after initial rough grading.
Direct construction site flow away from the infiltration/dispersion area using
applicable Construction SWPPP BMPs (e.g., temporary diversion swales).
Permeable Pavement
There are many potential applications and site scenarios where permeable pavement can be applied. The
following techniques highlight the most broadly applicable techniques to be used to protect permeable
pavement BMPs during construction. Refer to the previous section for construction protection methods
that are applicable to all infiltration BMPs, as well as Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 for general site protection
measures. In addition to those techniques, the following techniques apply specifically for protection of
permeable pavement during construction:
• Use procedural BMPs to plan construction. For example, phase construction to minimize
compaction, sedimentation, or structural damage to the permeable pavement.
• Use physical Construction SWPPP BMPs and/or grade the site to avoid sediment laden runoff
from reaching permeable pavements.
• Place protective surfaces (e.g., waterproof tarps and steel plates) over any permeable pavement
areas used for construction staging.
%%
• Do not drive sediment -laden construction equipment on the base material or pavement. Do not
allow sediment -laden runoff on permeable pavements or base materials.
• Once the pavement is finished and set, cover the pavement surface with plastic and geotextile to
protect from other construction activities. Close and protect the pavement area until the site is
permanently stabilized.
• Incorporate measures to protect road subgrade from over compaction and sedimentation if
permeable pavement roads are used for construction access.
o Cover the aggregate base or pavement surface with protective geotextile fabric and protect
fabric with steel plates or gravel. Gravel should only be used to protect the fabric placed over
aggregate base.
o Once construction is complete and the site is permanently stabilized, remove protective
geotextile, clean, and complete pavement installation.
Refer to the detailed permeable pavement BMP information in SWMMWW Volume V, Chapter 5, as
well as City of Edmonds Standard Details for general permeable pavement construction criteria.
26 6. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Packet Pg. 208
8.2.c
Bioretention Areas and Rain Gardens
As with permeable pavements, there are many potential applications and site scenarios where bioretention
and rain garden BMPs can be applied. The following techniques highlight the most broadly applicable
techniques to be used to protect bioretention and rain garden BMPs during construction. Refer to the
beginning of this section for construction protection methods that are applicable to all infiltration BMPs,
as well as Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 for general site protection measures. In addition to those techniques,
the following techniques apply specifically for protection of bioretention and rain garden BMPs during
construction:
• Excavation:
o If machinery must operate in the bioretention area for excavation, use lightweight, low
ground -contact pressure equipment and rip the base at completion to scarify soil to a
minimum of 12 inches.
• Protect bioretention soil mix from compaction during construction
o Do not place bioretention soil mix if saturated or during wet periods.
o Check for compaction prior to planting. If compaction occurs, aerate the bioretention soil and
then proceed to plant.
Refer to the detailed bioretention and rain garden BMP information in SWMMWW Volume V,
Chapter 7, as well as City of Edmonds Standard Details for general bioretention and rain garden
construction criteria. YV
Vegetated Roofs
The following additional techniques apply for protection of vegetated roof facilities during construction:
• Because of their location and complexity, vegetated roofs typically require more planning and
coordination effort relative to ground -level landscaping. For new construction, a critical path
approach is highly recommended to establish the sequence of tasks for construction of the
vegetated roof system.
• During construction, it is vitally important that the waterproof membrane be protected once
installed. The waterproofing should be tested prior to placement of the growth media and other
subsequent vegetated roof materials.
Refer to the detailed vegetated roof BMP information in SWMMWW Volume V, for general construction
criteria.
6. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS 27
Packet Pg. 209
8.2.c
6.2 OFF -SITE ANALYSES AND DOCUMENTATION
All projects subject to Minimum Requirement No. 4 shall submit as part of their Stormwater Site Plan an
off -site analysis that assesses the potential off -site impacts of stormwater discharges. The following
sections detail the analysis and documentation requirements for Category 1 and Category 2 projects.
6.2.1 Category 1 Projects
Category 1 projects shall submit a qualitative analysis of potential off -site impacts of stormwater
discharges for each upstream drainage system entering a site, and each downstream drainage system
leaving a site. The upstream analysis shall identify and describe points where water enters the site. Any
upstream contributing areas shall be identified and mapped in the project Stormwater Site Plan submittal.
The downstream analysis shall extend from the project site to the receiving water, or up to one -quarter
mile, whichever is less. In many cases, runoff that leaves a project site will enter the City's MS4 within
one -quarter mile. In these instances, the project must evaluate and document downstream conditions up to
and including runoff entry into the City's MS4. In addition, the project proponent shall consult with the
City to determine whether the MS4 has any existing or anticipated capacity issues downstream of the
proposed project.
The qualitative analysis shall identify where and how stormwater runoff will leave the proposed
development site, and describe conditions downstream of the site including any existing or anticipated
future problem areas (e.g., spot flooding, property damage, erosion issues, capacity -limited drainage
systems, etc.). The qualitative analysis must be sufficient for the City to evaluate whether the project has
adequately identified potential impacts and whether proposed mitigation measures are supported by the
analysis. Some "rough" quantitative analyses, which can be based on non -surveyed field data, may be
necessary as part of the qualitative analysis to adequately describe or document the extent of observed
problem areas. Note that any off -site field visits should be conducted during winter months and after
significant precipitation events to identify seasonal issues such as flooding, capacity constraints, or
surface seeps or other indicators of near surface groundwater.
A quantitative analysis may also be required for any project where the project proponent or the City
determines that a more thorough analysis is necessary to evaluate the off -site impacts or the capacity of
the conveyance system (e.g., where there is evidence of a risk to downstream systems such as erosion,
flooding, property damage, habitat damage, water quality degradation, or other related impacts). A
quantitative analysis may include calculations and/or modeling analyses of on -site and off -site water
quality, erosion, slope stability, and other drainage -related impacts that may be caused or aggravated by a
proposed project.
6.2.2 Category 2 Projects
All Category 2 projects shall submit a qualitative analysis of potential off -site impacts of stormwater
discharges that extend downstream from the site to the receiving water. (If the ultimate discharge point is
to Puget Sound via a culvert owned by BNSF Railway, the analysis must be followed through the
drainage system all the way to Puget Sound.) A quantitative analysis may also be required for any project
deemed to need additional downstream information or where the project engineer or the City determines
that a quantitative analysis is necessary to evaluate the off -site impacts or the capacity of the conveyance
system (e.g., where there are known capacity issues or where there is evidence of a risk to downstream
28 6. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Packet Pg. 210
8.2.c
systems such as erosion, flooding, property damage, habitat damage, water quality degradation, or other
related impacts).
The qualitative analysis must be sufficient for the City to evaluate whether the project has adequately
identified potential impacts and whether proposed mitigation measures are supported by the analysis.
Some "rough" quantitative analysis, which can be based on non -surveyed field data, may be required at
this stage. A downstream analysis of the project for a minimum of one -quarter of a mile is required. The
analysis must also extend upstream to a point beyond any backwater effects caused by the project. The
analysis must include field -inspection of all existing stormwater drainage systems downstream from the
project and a determination of whether the capacity of the drainage system(s) is adequate to handle the
existing flows, flows generated by the proposed project, and any overflow. Adequacy will be evaluated
based on conveyance capacity, flooding problems, erosion damage or potential, amount of freeboard in
channel and pipes, and storage potential within the system. Note that site visits should be conducted
during winter months and after significant precipitation events to identify undocumented surface seeps or
other indicators of near surface groundwater. See the end of this section for specific topics to be discussed
in the qualitative analysis.
When deemed necessary by the project engineer or required by the City, a quantitative analysis shall
include the qualitative analysis describe above, as well as quantitative calculations and/or modeling
analyses of on -site and off -site water quality, erosion, slope stability, and other drainage -related impacts
that may be caused or aggravated by a proposed project. Measures for preventing impacts and for not
aggravating existing impacts shall also be identified. ("Aggravating existing impacts" means increasing
the frequency of occurrence and/or severity of an impact.) The analysis shall document how temporary
and permanent flow control and water quality control measures identified in the Stormwater Site Plan will
mitigate the potential to create new problems or aggravate existing conditions. In many cases, design of
flow control and water quality systems according to the procedures contained in this Addendum and the
SWMMWW will be adequate demonstration of mitigation. However, upon review of this analysis and the
severity of an existing problem, the City may require more detailed analysis and/or additional mitigation
measures. In general, all existing and proposed off -site surface water conveyance systems shall be sized
to convey flows without surcharging the City's storm system (or BNSF culverts under the railroad tracks,
if applicable).
Both the qualitative analysis and the quantitative analyses (when required) shall include descriptions
and/or analyses of the following items. The descriptions shall identify existing or potential problem areas,
and whether adequate mitigation can be identified (or whether more detailed quantitative analysis is
necessary). References to other Stormwater Site Plan sections (e.g., facility sizing, conveyance,
attachments and appendices, etc.) are encouraged to reduce plan redundancy, as long as all of the required
Stormwater Site Plan issues are clearly presented:
• Describe the drainage system between the site and the receiving surface waters. Provide
information on pipe sizes, channel characteristics, and drainage structures. Describe emergency
services located along the flow path (e.g., fire/police stations, hospitals). Describe
environmentally sensitive areas, such as wetlands, etc.
• Describe the upstream drainage tributary to the project. Describe any bypass drainage from the
project which will not be controlled.
• The bulk of the analysis shall focus on highlights of important considerations from the project
overview and off -site analysis sections related to the drainage system and potential problems or
concerns. Existing and potential impacts to be evaluated and mitigated shall include, but not be
limited to:

O For each existing or potential problem, document: the magnitude of damage caused by the
problem, the general frequency and duration, current mitigation of the problem (if any), the
likely or possible cause of the problem, and whether the project is likely to aggravate the
problem or create a new one.
• Determine whether the project is within any other critical areas or their buffers as defined in
ECDC, and whether any additional requirements apply.
• All areas pertinent to the analyses such as site boundaries, study area boundaries, streets and
prominent features, downstream flow path, potential/existing problems, etc. shall be keyed to
features shown on the project map(s).
6.3 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR DETENTION VAULTS AND
PIPES T
This section includes design requirements and associated information for detention vaults and detention
pipes. The focus of this section is on the use of detention vaults and pipes to meet Minimum Requirement
No. 5. For other design applications (e.g., to meet Minimum Requirement No. 7), designers must refer to
the SWMMWW.
For Category 1 and 2 projects that must comply with Minimum Requirement No. 5, the final option that
is available for roofs and other hard surfaces under List No. 1 and List No. 2 (per ECDC 18.30.060.D.5
[d] or [e]) is the use of detention vaults or detention pipes. When using detention vaults or pipes to
comply with Minimum Requirement No. 5 using List No. 1 or List No. 2 in the City of Edmonds, the
following requirements apply. Note that if the project is required to construct a flow control facility to
comply with Minimum Requirement No. 7 (per ECDC 18.30.060.D.7), a detention vault is not required to
be installed to meet Minimum Requirement No. 5.
The City may waive the requirement to install a detention vault or pipe if the downstream analysis in
Minimum Requirement No. 4, or available City data indicate that peak flow control is not beneficial. Note
that this exemption is rare and most similar to the direct discharge exemption in SWMMWW; qualifying
for this exception will require unique site circumstances and may require additional information or
calculations from the applicant to demonstrate lack of benefit. It shall not be applied to any site which
discharges, direct or indirectly, to a stream, creek, wetland, or floodplain.
30 6. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Packet Pg. 212
8.2.c
6.3.1 Sizing & Design
The City has created simplified sizing techniques for detention vaults and pipes for use in complying with
Minimum Requirement No. 5. The sizing calculations and requirements presented below are designed to
optimize detention facility functions relative to peak flow control as well as runoff "volume managed."
Volume managed is a measure of the difference between facility inflow and outflow rates, and is
evaluated using continuous simulation hydrologic modeling by comparing inflow and outflow over the
entire continuous simulation. Volume managed represents an estimate of the amount of the storm flow
that is attenuated (or removed, for facilities that utilize infiltration) by the flow control facility.
To comply with Minimum Requirement No. 5, detention vaults or pipes must be installed for any site
impervious surfaces totaling greater than or equal to 1,000 square feet that are not managed by other On -
Site Stormwater Management BMPs. This includes areas from multiple types of surfaces listed under the
list options in Minimum Requirement No. 5. For example, if unmanaged flows from roofs plus driveway
areas exceed 1,000 square feet and runoff from both surfaces can be routed to a single vault, a vault shall
be installed. In addition, projects may elect to route "managed" flows to the vault if desired (e.g., where
runoff from an installed On -Site Stormwater Management BMPs cannot be easily separated from runoff
drainage to the vault.) In this scenario, no upsizing of the vault is required for the "managed" areas. Only
the unmanaged surfaces need to be included in the sizing calculations below.
The City of Edmonds has developed standards specifically for vaults and pipes used to meet Minimum
Requirement No. 5 only. See City standard detail SD-651 for detention tank requirements specific to
minimum Requirement #5; this detail shall be completed with design information and included with any
plan set proposing detention under Minimum Requirement #5.
For compliance with Minimum Requirement No. 7, SWMMWW Volume V, Chapter 12 requirements
apply.
For vaults with contributing areas greater than or equal to 1,000 square feet the following sizing
requirements apply:
• Orifice size shall be 0.5 inches
• Vault interior bottom area = 2 percent of contributing surface area
• Vault minimum active storage depth = 3.0 feet
6.4 UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROLS
With each update to the SWMMWW, the Department of Ecology continues to emphasize the importance
of maximizing the use of infiltration for stormwater runoff control. Given the heavy emphasis on
infiltration in the SWMMWW, and thus ECDC 18.30 and this Addendum, it is important to be aware of
related requirements for Underground Injection Controls (UICs).
In certain situations, BMPs that rely on infiltration are classified as UICs and may be regulated by
Ecology under the UIC Program (Washington Administrative Code [WAC] 173 218). For more
information on UICs, see SWMMWW Volume I, Chapter 4 (UIC Program).

except as expressly allowed by ECDC Chapter 7.200.
Impervious surface. A non -vegetated surface area that either prevents or retards the entry of water into the soil
mantle as under natural conditions prior to development. A non -vegetated surface area which causes water to run off
the surface in greater quantities or at an increased rate of flow from the flow present under natural conditions prior
to development. Common impervious surfaces include, but are not limited to, roof tops, walkways, patios,
driveways, parking lots or storage areas, concrete or asphalt paving, gravel roads, packed earthen materials, and
oiled, macadam or other surfaces that similarly impede the natural infiltration of stormwater. Open, uncovered

considered impervious surfaces in all situations. In addition, lawns, landscaping, sports fields, golf courses, and
other areas that have modified runoff characteristics resulting from the addition of underdrains and impermeable or
low permeability liners are to be considered impervious surfaces. If no liner is installed, these areas (lawns,
landscaping, sports fields, golf courses, etc.) served by underdrains may be considered partially pervious if the
underdrain is set a minimum of 8 inches above the in -situ soils in a manner to allow infiltration over the facility
bottom.
Lake. An inland body of fresh water surrounded by land.
Land disturbing activity. Any activity that results in a change in the existing soil cover (both vegetative and non -
vegetative) and/or the existing soil topography. Land -disturbing activities include but are not limited to demolition,
clearing, grading, filling, and excavation. Compaction that is associated with stabilization of structures and road
construction shall also be considered a land -disturbing activity. Vegetation maintenance practices, including
landscape maintenance and gardening, are not considered land -disturbing activity. Stormwater facility maintenance
is not considered land disturbing activity if conducted according to established standards and procedures.
Low impact development (LID). A stormwater and land use strategy that strives to mimic pre -disturbance
hydrologic processes of infiltration, filtration, storage, evaporation and transpiration by emphasizing conservation,
use of on -site features, site planning, and distributed stormwater management practices that are integrated into a
project design.
LID Best Management Practices (BMPs). Distributed stormwater management practices, integrated into a project
design, that emphasize pre -disturbance hydrologic processes of infiltration, filtration, storage, evaporation and
transpiration. LID BMPs include, but are not limited to, bioretention, rain gardens, permeable pavements, roof
downspout controls, dispersion, soil quality and depth, minimal excavation foundations, vegetated roofs, and water
re -use.
LID principles. Land use management strategies that emphasize conservation, use of on -site natural features, and
site planning to minimize impervious surfaces, native vegetation loss, and stormwater runoff.
Maintenance. Repair and maintenance activities conducted on currently serviceable structures, facilities, and
equipment that involves no expansion or use beyond that previously existing and results in no significant adverse
hydrologic impact. It includes those usual activities taken to prevent a decline, lapse, or cessation in the use of
structures and systems. Those usual activities may include replacement of dysfunctional facilities, including cases
where environmental permits require replacing an existing structure with a different type structure, as long as the
functioning characteristics of the original structure are not changed. One example is the replacement of a collapsed,
fish blocking, round culvert with a new box culvert under the same span, or width, of roadway. In regard to
stormwater facilities, maintenance includes assessment to ensure ongoing proper operation, removal of built up
pollutants (i.e., sediments), replacement of failed or failing treatment media, and other actions taken to correct
defects as identified in the maintenance standards of Chapter-4Appendix A, Volume V of the SWMMWW.

Slope. The degree of deviation of a surface from the horizontal; measured as a numerical ratio, percent, or in
degrees. Expressed as a ratio, the first number is the horizontal distance (run) and the second is the vertical distance
(rise), as 2:1. A 2:1 slope is a 50 percent slope. Expressed in degrees, the slope is the angle from the horizontal
plane, with a 90-degree slope being vertical (maximum) and 45 degrees being a 1:1 or 100 percent slope.

Soil. The unconsolidated mineral and organic material on the intermediate surface of the earth that serves as a
natural medium for the growth of land plants.
Source control BMPs. A structure or operation that is intended to prevent pollutants from coming into contact with
storm water through physical separation of areas or careful management of activities that are sources of pollutants.
The SWMMWW separates source control BMPs into two types. Structural source control BMPs are physical,
structural, or mechanical devices, or facilities that are intended to prevent pollutants from entering stormwater.
Operational Source Control BMPs are non-structural practices that prevent or reduce pollutants from entering
stormwater. See Volume IV of the SWMMWW for details.
Stormwater facility. A constructed component of a stormwater drainage system, designed and constructed to
perform a particular function or multiple functions. Stormwater facilities include, but are not limited to, pipes,
swales, ditches, culverts, street gutters, detention ponds, retention ponds, constructed wetlands, infiltration devices,
catch basins, oil/water separators, and biofiltration swales.
Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW). The Washington State Department of
Ecology's 24Q�2019(as ri,orao�' ^` Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. Referred to
as the 20142019 SWMMWW.
Stormwater site plan. The comprehensive report containing all of the technical information and analysis necessary
for regulatory agencies to evaluate a proposed development project for compliance with stormwater requirements.
Contents of the Stormwater Site Plan will vary with the type and size of the project, and individual site
characteristics. It includes a Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (Construction SWPPP) and a
Permanent Stormwater Control Plan (PSC Plan). Guidance on preparing a Stormwater Site Plan is contained in
Chapter 3 of Volume I of the SWMMWW.
Stormwater Treatment and Flow Control BMPs/Facilities. Detention facilities, treatment BMPs/facilities,
bioretention, vegetated roofs, and permeable pavements that help meet Minimum Requirements No.6 (Treatment),
Minimum Requirement No.7 (Flow Control), or both as described in ECDC 18.30.060.
Threshold discharge area. An on site area within a project site that drains to either -draining to a single natural
discharge location or multiple natural discharge locations that combine within one -quarter mile downstream (as
determined by the shortest flowpath). The examples min Figure 4971: Example TDA Delineations below,
-
presented in Volume 1 of the c.x"MN43A AI illustrate this definition. The purpose of this definition is to clarify how
the thresholds of this code are applied to project sites with multiple discharge points.

B. Illicit Discharges and Connections. Non-stormwater illicit discharges, including spills, into the MS4,
groundwaters, or a water body from any developed or undeveloped lands are prohibited per ECDC Chapter
7.200.
C. Thresholds and Applicability
1. The thresholds outlined in this section are only applicable to ECDC 18.30.060.C. See also the Edmonds
Stormwater Addendum for supplemental information on thresholds.
a. All development shall be required to comply with Minimum Requirement No. 2.
b. Category 1 project sites shall comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 5. Category 1
includes projects that:
i. Result in 2,000 square feet, or greater, of new plus replaced hard surface area, or
ii. Have land disturbing activity of 7,000 square feet or greater.
c. Category 2 project sites shall comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 9. Category 2
includes projects that:

ii. Convert 0.75 acres, or more, of vegetation to lawn or landscaped areas, or
iii. Convert 2.5 acres, or more, of native vegetation to pasture.
2. Additional Requirements for road -related projects. For road -related projects, runoff from the new and
replaced hard surfaces (including pavement, shoulders, curbs, and sidewalks) and the converted vegetation
areas shall meet all the minimum requirements only if the new hard surfaces total 5,000 square feet or more
and total 50 percent or more of the existing hard surfaces within the project limits. Otherwise, the minimum
requirements only apply to the new hard surfaces and the converted vegetation areas that exceed the
thresholds in (1) above. The project limits shall be defined by the length of the project and the width of the
right-of-way.
3New Connections to the City's MS4 when the proposed connection does not involve activity that meets the
definition of development. Sites that are not currently connected to the City's MS4 but that wish to connect
directly or indirectly to the City's MS4 may be allowed on a case -by -case basis, subject to City approval.
For sites that propose to drain greater than or equal to 2,000 square feet of hard surface area to the City's
MS4, the project shall comply with the requirement of this chapter, treating all hard surfaces to be drained
to the City system as new hard surfaces, unless applicant can demonstrate that the site will discharge in the
same manner and quantities prior to the proposed project. Applicant shall account for natural dispersion
and/or infiltration which may be occurring if these new hard surfaces area currently drain through pervious
areas.

treatment (such as those outlined in ECDC 18.30.060.D [1] th ough [91) may be required if the conneeti
poses any risk to downstream systems such as erosion, flooding, property damage, habitat damage, water—
qualitydegradation, or- athef Felated wets.
-34. Minimum Requirements may be met for an equivalent (flow and pollution characteristics) area. The
equivalent area may be within the same TDA. If the equivalent area is outside the TDA, or off -site, the
equivalent area must drain to the same receiving water and the guidance for equivalent facilities using in_
basin transfers must be followed, as detailed in Appendix D of Volume 1 of SWMMWW.
D. Minimum Technical Requirements. This section describes the minimum technical requirements for stormwater
management at development sites.
1. Minimum Requirement No. 1 — Preparation of Stormwater Site Plans
The City shall require a Stormwater Site Plan from all projects meeting the thresholds in ECDC
18.30.060.C. Stormwater Site Plans shall use site -appropriate development principles to retain native
vegetation and minimize impervious surfaces to the extent feasible. Stormwater Site Plans shall be prepared
in accordance with Chapter 3 of Volume 1 of the SWMMWW and the requirements in the Edmonds
Stormwater Addendum.
2. Minimum Requirement No. 2 — Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
a. Thresholds:
i. All development projects are responsible for preventing erosion and discharge of sediment
and other pollutants into receiving waters. Compliance with this minimum requirement can be
achieved for an individual site if the site is covered under Ecology's General NPDES Permit
for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activities and fully implementing
the requirements of that permit.
ii. A Construction SWPPP is required for all projects which a) result in 2,000 square feet or
more of new plus replaced hard surface area, b) where a structure with an exterior hard
surface area of at least 2,000 square feet is being demolished, c) which disturb 7,000 square
feet or more of land, or d) when the site falls within the Earth Subsidence Landslide Hazard
Area, Landslide Hazard Area or steep slope critical area. Projects that do not meet any of the
above criteria are not required to prepare a Construction SWPPP, but must consider all of the
elements listed below for Construction SWPPPs and develop controls for all Construction
SWPPP elements that pertain to the project site.
b. General Requirements:
The SWPPP shall include a narrative and drawings. All BMPs shall be clearly referenced in
the narrative and marked on the drawings. The SWPPP narrative shall include documentation
to explain and justify the pollution prevention decisions made for the project. Each of the
thirteen elements referenced below must be considered and included in the SWPPP unless site
conditions render the element unnecessary and the exemption from that element is clearly
justified in the narrative of the SWPPP.
ii. Clearing and grading activities for developments shall be permitted only if conducted
pursuant to an approved site development plan (e.g., building permit, subdivision approval)
that establishes permitted areas of clearing, grading, cutting, and filling. These permitted
clearing and grading areas and any other areas required to preserve critical or sensitive areas,
buffers, native growth protection easements, or tree retention areas as required by the City,
shall be delineated on the site plans and the development site.
iii. The SWPPP shall be implemented beginning with initial land disturbance and until final
stabilization. Sediment and Erosion control BMPs shall be consistent with the BMPs
contained in Chapter 4 of Volume II of the SWMMWW.
Version: September Q 201cJuly 2021
Packet Pg. 238
Edmonds
Chapter 18.30 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
c. Seasonal Work Limitations:
Page 15/27
From October 1 through April 30, clearing, grading, and other soil disturbing activities may only be
authorized by the City if it can be demonstrated that silt -laden runoff will be prevented from leaving
the site through a combination of the following:
Site conditions including existing vegetative coverage, slope, soil type, and proximity to
receiving waters; and
ii. Limitations on activities and the extent of disturbed areas; and
iii. Proposed erosion and sediment control measures, in accordance with ECDC 18.30.060.D.2.d
below.
Based on the information provided and/or local weather conditions, the City may expand or restrict the
seasonal limitation on site disturbance. The following activities are exempt from the seasonal clearing
and grading limitations, except for sites lying in whole or in part within an earth subsidence and
landslide hazard area as defined by ECDC 19.10.020.F:
Routine maintenance and necessary repair of erosion and sediment control BMPs,
ii. Routine maintenance of public facilities or existing utility structures that do not expose the
soil or result in the removal of the vegetative cover to soil, and
iii. Activities where there is one hundred percent infiltration of surface water runoff within the
site in approved and installed erosion and sediment control facilities.
d. Construction SWPPP Elements
Construction SWPPP elements are required in accordance with Chapter 23, Section 2'-5.23.4.2
of Volume I of the SWMMWW and the requirements in the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum.
3. Minimum Requirement No. 3 — Source Control of Pollution
All known, available and reasonable source control BMPs must be required for all projects approved by the
City. Source control BMPs must be selected, designed, and maintained in accordance with Volume IV of
the SWMMWW. All single family residential projects shall, at a minimum, incorporate required BMPs
from SWMMWW Volume IV, S411 — BMPs for Landscaping and Lawn/Vegetation Management.
4. Minimum Requirement No. 4 — Preservation of Natural Drainage Systems and Outfalls
Natural drainage patterns shall be maintained, and discharges from the project site shall occur at the natural
location, to the maximum extent practicable. The manner by which runoff is discharged from the project
site must not cause a significant adverse impact to downstream receiving waters and down gradient
properties. The discharge must have an identified overflow route that is safe and certain, and leads to the
ultimate outfa111ocation (such as a receiving water or municipal drainage system). All outfalls require
energy dissipation.
To demonstrate compliance with this core requirement, all projects shall submit an off -site qualitative
analysis. If an existing problem (or potential future problem after development) is identified, mitigation
will be required to prevent worsening of that problem. A quantitative analysis may be required for any
project deemed to need additional information or where the project proponent or the City determines that a
quantitative analysis is necessary to evaluate the off -site impacts or the capacity of the conveyance system.
See the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum for additional details on complying with this requirement.
5. Minimum Requirement No. 5 — On -site Stormwater Management
Version: September Q 201cJuly 2021
Packet Pg. 239
Edmonds
Chapter 18.30 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
a. Applicability:
Page 16/27
On -site Stormwater Management BMPs are required in accordance with the following project
thresholds, standards, and lists to infiltrate, disperse, and retain stormwater runoff on -site to the extent
feasible without causing flooding or erosion impacts. See the SWMMWW and the Edmonds
Stormwater Addendum for additional details on On -site Stormwater Management BMP infeasibility.
b. Project Thresholds:
There are five project scenarios outlined below that determine the applicability of Minimum
Requirement No. 5 — On -site Stormwater Management. The first four scenarios apply to projects that
discharge directly or indirectly to the City's MS4. The fifth scenario applies to project discharges that
do not enter the City's MS4. Note that more than one of the five scenarios may apply to a given
proj ect:
Retrofit. Projects that discharge directly or indirectly to the City's MS4 and that contain
existing hard surfaces on the parcel or common plan of development that do not drain to an
approved stormwater management facility are required to provide On -site Stormwater
Management BMPs to manage a portion of those existing hard surfaces that will remain after
project completion. BMPs from List No.l (See ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.d) shall be applied to a
minimum of 25 percent of those existing unmanaged surfaces, but to no more than the area
equal to the proposed new plus replaced hard surfaces.
Within the Perrinville Creek basin, the retrofit value shall be increased from 25% to 50%.
Only for those existing unmanaged hard surfaces that remain after project completion,
applicants are not required to evaluate BMPs in priority order or document infeasibility for
these existing surfaces (as is required under ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.b [ii] and [iii] below).
However, if it is determined that the minimum percentage
requirement cannot be met due to BMP infeasibility, documentation of BMP infeasibility is
required. In addition, when runoff from exiting -unmanaged hard surfaces is mixed with runoff
from new plus Fepla eamanaged hard surfaces, those BMPs must be selected and designed i-n-
-dan e witl the 0 epAs for- maaagem&4 ofnewplus -epl ee for all areas which
contribute runoff to the BMPha� (per sections [ii] and [iii] below). See the
SWMMWW and the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum for additional details on On -site
Stormwater Management BMP infeasibility.
This requirement is specific to minimum requirement #5 only. The surfaces treated by this
requirement do no need to be added to project thresholds or mitigated under other minimum
requirements. Impervious surfaces disturbed solely for installation of BMPs proposed to
satisfy this requirement need not be consider as replaced hard surfaces for the project.
ii. Category 1. Category 1 project sites that discharge directly or indirectly to the City's MS4
and are required to comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 5 (per ECDC
18.30.060.C) shall either:
a. Use On -site Stormwater Management BMPs from List No.l for all new plus replaced
hard surfaces and land disturbed (See ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.d); or
b. Demonstrate compliance with the LID Performance Standard (See ECDC
18.30.060.D.5.c). Projects selecting this option cannot use rain gardens. They may choose
to use bioretention BMPs as described in the SWMMWW.
iii. Category 2. Category 2 project sites that discharge directly or indirectly to the City's MS4
and are required to comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 9 (per ECDC
18.30.060.C) shall either:

b. Demonstrate compliance with the LID Performance Standard (See ECDC
18.30.060.D.5.c). Projects selecting this option cannot use rain gardens. They may
choose to use bioretention BMPs as described in the SWMMWW.
iv. Direct Discharge Requirement. Projects that discharge directly to Puget Sound through the
City's MS4 (in accordance with the restrictions applicable to direct discharges to Puget Sound
presented in Section2-.5-.73.4.7 of Volume I of the SWMMWW) do not have to achieve the
LID Performance Standard, nor consider bioretention, rain gardens, permeable pavement, or
full dispersion, but must implement BMP T5.13 (Post -Construction Soil Quality & Depth);
BMPs T5.10A Downspout Full Infiltration Systems, TS.IOB Downspout Dispersion Systems,
or T5.1 OB Perforated Stub -out Connections; and BMP T5.11 Concentrated Flow Dispersion
or T5.12 Sheet Flow Dispersion; if feasible for all new plus replaced hard surfaces and land
disturbed. See the SWMMWW and the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum for additional details
on On -site Stormwater Management BMP infeasibili ymust meet the following:
V. Projects that do not drain directly or indirectly to the City's MS4 are required to implement
one of the following:
a. Project sites may discharge to the downstream private property (e.g., projects located
above BNSF property) with approval from the downstream property owner(s).
b. Project sites may discharge runoff to an on -site system.
For sites located within earth subsidence and landslide hazard areas or their
buffers, a geotechnical design, analysis, and report by a geotechnical
engineer is required for the on -site system. On -site Stormwater
Management BMPs from List No.I in ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.d shall be
evaluated for all new plus replaced hard surfaces and land disturbed.
Projects are not required to evaluate BMPs in priority order or document
infeasibility. The project applicant may be subject to an extra permit
processing fee for City review of the geotechnical analysis. Projects are
required to comply with all other applicable City requirements, such as
ECDC 19.10 (earth subsidence and landslide hazard areas).
ii. For sites located outside earth subsidence and landslide hazard areas or their

Minimum Requirement No. 7 — Flow Control
a Applicability: Flow control is required on projects meeting the thresholds summarized below to reduce
the impacts of stormwater runoff from hard surfaces and land cover conversions.
Version: September Q 201cJuly 2021
Packet Pg. 245
Edmonds
Chapter 18.30 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
Page 22/27
Flow control in accordance with Minimum Requirement No. 7 is not required for projects that
discharge directly to, or indirectly through the City's MS4 to Puget Sound subject to the restrictions of
the TDA Exemption (aka. direct discharge exemption)_per SWMMWW Section 3.4.7 of Volume I -
(other minimum requirements may still apply). See ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.b.iv and Section 153_4.7 of
Volume I of the SWMMWW for additional restrictions applicable to direct discharges to Puget Sound.
If the discharge drains to a stream that leads to a wetland, or to a wetland that has an outflow to a
stream, both this minimum requirement (Minimum Requirement No. 7) and Minimum Requirement
No. 8 apply.
a-.b_Thresholds: When assessing road -related projects against the following thresholds, only consider only
those impervious, hard, and pervious surfaces that are subject to this minimum requirement per ECDC
18.30.060.C.2. For all other projects, the requirements apply to the new plus replaced hard surfaces
and the converted vegetation areas. The following circumstances require achievement of the standard
flow control requirement for western Washington:
Projects in which the total of effective impervious surfaces is 10,000 square feet or more in a
threshold discharge area, or ,
ii. Projects that convert 0.75 acres or more of vegetation to lawn or landscape, or convert 2.5
acres or more of native vegetation to pasture in a threshold discharge area, and from which
there is a surface discharge in a natural or man-made conveyance system from the site, or
iii. Projects that through a combination of hard surfaces and converted vegetation areas cause a
0.10 cubic feet per second (cfs) increase or greater in the 100-year flow frequency from a
threshold discharge area as estimated using the Western Washington Hydrology Model or
other approved model and one -hour time steps (or a 0.15 cfs increase or greater using 15-
minute time steps).
b:c_Standard Flow Control Requirement (applies to discharges directly or indirectly to the City's MS4,
except for projects that meet the direct discharge requirements outlined in "a" above and/or projects
discharging to Perrinville Creek): Stormwater discharges shall match developed discharge durations to
pre -developed durations for the range of pre -developed discharge rates from 50 percent of the 2-year
peak flow up to the full 50-year peak flow. The pre -developed condition to be matched shall be a
forested land cover unless reasonable, historic information is available that indicates the site was
prairie prior to settlement (modeled as "pasture" in the Western Washington Hydrology Model). This
standard requirement is waived for sites that will reliably infiltrate all the runoff from hard surfaces
and converted vegetation areas.
d. Perrinville Basin Flow Control Standard (applies to all discharges within the Perrinville Creek basin)
shall be an elevated level of flow control design. Discharges to the Perrinville Creek Basin shall
maintain the durations of high flows at their predevelopment levels for all flows greater than one-half
of the 2-year flow up to the 50-year flow AND holding the 100-year peak flow rate at its
predevelopment level. The predevelopment peak flow rates for the 2-year and 10-year runoff events
are also intended to be maintained.
Ee_Additional Requirement: Flow Control BMPs shall be selected, designed, and maintained in
accordance with Volume III of the SWMMWW or an approved equivalent.
8. Minimum Requirement No. 8 — Wetlands Protection
a. Applicability: The requirements below apply only to projects whose stormwater discharges into a
wetland, either directly or indirectly through a conveyance system.
Version: September Q 201cJuly 2021

Edmonds
Chapter 18.30 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
Page 23/27
b. Thresholds: The thresholds identified in Minimum Requirement No. 6 — Runoff Treatment, and
Minimum Requirement No. 7 — Flow Control shall also be applied to determine the applicability of
this requirement to discharges to wetlands.
c. Standard Requirement: Projects shall comply with Guide Sheets No. 1 through No. 3 in Appendix I-D
of the SWMMWW. The hydrologic analysis shall use the existing land cover condition to determine
the existing hydrologic conditions unless directed otherwise by a regulatory agency with jurisdiction.
d. Additional Requirements: Stormwater treatment and flow control facilities shall not be built within a
natural vegetated buffer, except for:
Necessary conveyance systems as approved by the City; or
ii. As allowed in wetlands approved for hydrologic modification or treatment in accordance with
Guide Sheet 2 in Appendix I-D of the SWMMWW.
An adopted and implemented basin plan prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of
Appendix 1 of the Phase II NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit.
9. Minimum Requirement No. 9 — Operation and Maintenance
An operation and maintenance manual that is consistent with the provisions in Volume I and Volume V of
the SWMMWW is required for proposed Stormwater Treatment and Flow Control BMPs/facilities. The
party (or parties) responsible for maintenance and operation shall be identified in the operation and
maintenance manual. For private facilities approved by the City, a copy of the operation and maintenance
manual shall be retained on -site or within reasonable access to the site, and shall be transferred with the
property to the new owner. For public facilities, a copy of the operation and maintenance manual shall be

responsible party fails to respond within seven days from the receipt of notification, the City may order the work
required to be completed or otherwise address the cause of improper access. The obligation for the payment of all
cost that may be incurred or expended by the City in causing such work to be done shall be imposed on the person
holding title to the subject property.
B. Covenants. Maintenance covenants shall be required for each site/lot that will be maintained by a private entity
such as an individual, corporation, or homeowner's association. The maintenance covenant shall address or append
requirements and responsibilities for long-term management and maintenance the applicable BMP(s). Maintenance
covenants shall be as specified in City Engineering Division documents or approved by the Director, and recorded
with Snohomish County and on all proper deeds [Ord. 3792 § 1, 2010].
18.30.090 Post Construction Inspection and Maintenance Roles and Responsibilities.
Proper construction inspection and maintenance of stormwater facilities is essential for the protection of the City's
MS4 and the environment.
A. Stormwater Maintenance and Inspection Standards. Stormwater facilities shall be inspected and maintained per
the requirements of Volume I and Volume V of the SWMMWW. For systems which do not have a maintenance
standard, the owner shall develop a standard based on guidelines from the manufacturer, designer, or a registered
professional engineer and submit the standards to the Director for approval. The purpose of the maintenance
standard is to determine if maintenance is required. The maintenance standard is not a measure of the facility's
required condition at all times between inspections. Exceeding the maintenance standard between inspections is not
a violation of this chapter.
B. Ownership. Stormwater facilities are either privately or publicly owned and maintained. All stormwater facilities
that serve private property are private, unless an agreement between the property owner and the City states
otherwise. Stormwater facilities that are privately owned by a homeowner's association or similar organization also
are private. The City may offer an incentive program to owners to support the proper maintenance of private storm
drainage facilities.
C. Public Stormwater Facilities. The City shall be responsible for operating, maintaining, repairing, and replacing
public stormwater facilities as funded through the Stormwater Utility.
D. Maintenance and Inspection of Permanent Facilities. All privately owned storm drainage facilities or controls
shall be maintained by the owner, or the homeowner or owner association ("owner") if one is established as part of a
residential or commercial development. All private storm drainage facilities shall be regularly inspected to ensure
proper operation and shall monitor the facility or control as required or as set forth in the SWMMWW. The Owner
shall maintain records of inspection and maintenance, disposal receipts, and monitoring results. The records shall
catalog the action taken, the person who took it, the date said action was taken, how it was done, and any problems
encountered or follow-up actions required. The records shall be made available to the City upon request. The Owner
shall maintain a copy of the Stormwater Operations and Maintenance Manual (if required) on site, and shall make
reference to such document in real property records filed with Snohomish County, so others who acquire real
property served by the privately owned storm drainage facilities or controls are notified of their obligation to
maintain such facilities or controls.
E. City Inspection of private stormwater facilities. The City shall have the authority to periodically inspect private
stormwater facilities, including low impact development stormwater facilities, for compliance with this chapter.
F. Right of Entry. An authorized representative of the City may enter private property at all reasonable times to
conduct inspections, tests or to carry out other duties imposed by the a state or Federal program provided that the
City makes a good faith effort to notify the property owner or person responsible for the premises prior to entering
and presents proper credentials to that person. If entry is refused or cannot be obtained, the Director shall have
recourse to every remedy provided by law to secure entry, including but not limited to, obtaining an administrative
warrant for entry.

Chapter 18.30 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
G. Right of Entry for Illicit Discharge. In the event of an illicit discharge from a privately -owned stormwater facility
caused by improper maintenance or operation or other circumstance, the provisions of ECC 7.200 shall apply.
H. Maintenance Responsibilities. Upon written notice by the City, a private stormwater facility shall be promptly
repaired and/or brought up to applicable standards by the property owner or the person responsible for said facility.
If a private stormwater facility serves multiple lots and the responsibility for maintenance has not been specified on
a recorded subdivision plat, short plat, or other legal document, maintenance, operation and repair responsibility
shall rest with the homeowners' association, if one exists, or otherwise with the properties served by the facility, or
finally, with the owners of the property on which the facilities are located.
I. Disposal of Waste from Maintenance Activities. Disposal of waste from maintenance activities shall be conducted
in accordance with the minimum Functional Standards for Solid Waste Handling, Chapter 173-304 WAC,
guidelines for disposal of waste materials from storm water maintenance activities, and where appropriate, the
Dangerous Waste Regulations, Chapter 173-303 WAC.
18.30.100 Enforcement Procedures.
A. General enforcement action shall be in accordance with this chapter whenever a person has violated any
provision of this chapter. The choice of enforcement action is at the discretion of the City.
B. Civil Penalties Adopted. ECDC Chapter 20.110 enforcement procedures are herein adopted in full, as modified in
this chapter, with the proviso that repeat offenders or violations deemed an immediate public hazard shall be subject
to compliance and appeal timelines as deemed appropriate by the Director based on the specific nature of the
violation.
C. Maintenance Orders. The Director shall have the authority to issue to an owner or person an order to maintain or
repair a component of a stormwater facility or BMP to bring it into compliance with this chapter, the SWMMWW,
the Edmonds Stormwater Addendum, and the Edmonds Community Development Code. The order shall include:
1. A description of the specific nature, extent and time of the violation and the damage or potential damage
that reasonably might occur;
2. A notice that the violation or the potential violation cease and desist and, in appropriate cases, the specific
corrective actions to be taken; and
3. A reasonable time to comply, depending on the circumstances.
D. Civil Penalty. A person who fails to comply with the requirements of this chapter, who fails to conform to an
approval or order issued, who undertakes development without first obtaining approval, or who fails to comply with
a stop work order issued under these regulations shall be subject to a civil penalty levied in accordance with the
provisions of ECDC Chapter 20.110; provided, however, that the appeal process shall commence with a notice of
violation as provided in ECDC 20.110.040.13.
1. Civil penalties for code violations shall be imposed in accordance with the provisions of ECDC Chapter
20.110; provided, however, that in addition to the penalties set forth in that chapter, the hearing examiner
is authorized to levy a penalty of up to twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) per occurrence based upon an
assessment of the following factors. Where such factors are present, the hearing examiner is authorized to
levy such penalty after taking into consideration the full impact of the violation and any mitigating
circumstances (see subsection (2) below):
a. The violation created a risk to public health and the significance of the risk.
b. The violation damaged the environment and the significance of the damage.
c. The violation caused damage to public and private property and the significance of such damage.
d. A history of similar violations, if any.
Version: September Q 201cJuly 2021

8.2.d
Edmonds Page 27/27
Chapter 18.30 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
e. The economic benefit of the violations, if any, to the person or entity responsible for the violations.
2. Mitigating circumstances which may be used to offset or reduce the time resulting from the application of
the preceding factors are limited to:
a. Full compliance with a voluntary compliance agreement and no history of similar violations.
b. Full compliance with a voluntary compliance agreement and a history of one or two similar violations
(lesser reduction).
c. A "voluntary compliance agreement" is defined as a legally binding agreement entered into between
the City and the alleged violators, by which the violator(s) acknowledge the existence of the violation,
waive all appeal rights, and agree to and do pay a fine in an amount stipulated to between the violator
and the City.
If the violation(s) are not corrected as ordered, or a voluntary compliance agreement is not entered into
within that time period and no appeal is filed, the penalty for the next 15-day period shall be 150 percent of
the initial penalties, and the penalties for the next 15-day period shall be 200 percent of the initial penalties.
The intent of this subsection is to increase penalties beyond the maximum penalties stated as an additional
means to achieve timely compliance.
Unless otherwise provided in a voluntary compliance agreement, civil penalties shall be paid within 30
days of service of the notice and order or stop work order if not appealed. Payment of the civil penalties
assessed under this chapter does not relieve a person found to be responsible for a code violation of his or
her duty to correct the violation or to pay any and all civil penalties or other cost assessments issued
pursuant to this chapter.
The City may suspend immediate payment of civil penalties if the person responsible for a code violation
has entered into a voluntary compliance agreement. Penalties shall begin to accrue again pursuant to the
terms of the voluntary compliance agreement if any necessary permits applied for are denied, canceled or
not pursued, if corrective action identified in the voluntary compliance agreement is not completed as
specified, or if the property is allowed to return to a condition similar to that condition which gave rise to
the voluntary compliance agreement; provided, however, that additional penalties shall not be imposed
until additional notice and opportunity for hearing have been provided in accordance with ECDC Chapter
20.110.
Civil penalties assessed create joint and several personal obligations in all persons responsible for a code
violation.
E. The determination of the hearing examiner issued in accordance with ECDC Chapter 20.110 shall be appealable
to the Snohomish County superior court in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 36.70C RCW.
F. The remedies provided for in this section shall not be exclusive. The City may also use other civil and
administrative remedies available to it, including but not limited to the remedies provided in ECDC Title 19 and the
state building and dangerous buildings codes.

1 INTRODUCTION
This Edmonds Stormwater Addendum (Addendum) provides direction for implementing the City of
Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) Chapter 18.30, Stormwater Management. The City of
Edmonds is required to regulate stormwater discharges to the municipal stormwater system and to waters
of the state, in compliance with the Western Washington Phase II National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Stormwater Permit (the Permit). Under the Permit, the City must
establish and apply the minimum requirements specified in the Permit and provide design guidance for
stormwater quality and quantity control for development projects in Edmonds. Through ECDC
Chapter 18.30 and this Addendum, the City is complying with federal requirements under the Clean Water
Act and the Permit.
This Addendum is organized into 7 chapters, briefly summarized below:
• Chapter 2 — How to Use this Addendum includes information on how to use the Addendum in
conjunction with the ECDC and Ecology's 20142019 Stormwater Management Manual for
Western Washington (SWMMWW), and to clarify for users where the ECDC, SWMMWW, or
Addendum apply.
• Chapter 3 — Applicability of the Minimum Requirements includes details on the thresholds
that determine the applicability of the minimum requirements to different projects. This
information is based on SWMMWW Volume I, Section 2:43.3, but has been updated to reflect
the specific requirements of ECDC 18.30. Chapter 3 also includes a brief summary of how
ECDC 18.30.060 compares to the SWMMWW (regarding applicability of the minimum
requirements).
• Chapter 4 —Project Basin Locations and Applicable Requirements describes downstream
receiving waterbodies and/or drainage systems in the city, which will affect how the minimum
requirements apply to a given project (primarily Minimum Requirements No. 5, No. 6, and
No. 7). Chapter 4 also includes a brief discussion of the unique soil and topographical conditions
in the City of Edmonds.
• Chapter 5 —Project Minimum Requirements highlights the primary differences between the
minimum requirements presented in the SWMMWW and those in the ECDC and provides
additional details and guidance to help projects comply with each minimum requirement.
• Chapter 6 — Additional Requirements includes additional information on City -specific
requirements that are not fully described in the SWMMWW or ECDC. Specific topics include:
1. Additional requirements pertaining to Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans
(SWPPPs) Element No. 13 — Protect Low Impact Development (LID) Best Management
Practices (BMPs)
2. Details on the off -site analyses and documentation required to comply with Minimum
Requirement No. 4, Preservation of Natural Drainage Systems and Outfalls
1. INTRODUCTION 1

2 HOW TO USE THIS ADDENDUM
Review ECDC Chapter 18.30.030 and 18.30.040 to determine if the City's Stormwater Code and this
Addendum apply to your project. Review the definitions section of ECDC Chapter 18.30.10 (and if
necessary the Glossary in SWMMWW Volume I, Appendix G for clarification on terminology used in
ECDC Chapter 18.30 and this Addendum.
As per ECDC Chapter 18.30.60, the stormwater management requirements in the City of Edmonds —
including but not limited to thresholds, definitions, minimum requirements, adjustment and variance
criteria, and exceptions to these requirements — shall be governed by the 20142019 SWMMWW, with
additional requirements and modifications as outlined in the provisions of ECDC Chapter 18.30 and this
Addendum. Project proponents must review ECDC 18.30 (18.30.060 in particular) and this Addendum to
identify how the City's requirements and the requirements of the SWMMWW apply to a given project. In
the event of inconsistencies between the various provisions, the more stringent provisions shall apply,
unless otherwise approved by the City. Where requirements in this Addendum are also covered in any
other law, ordinance, resolution, rule, or regulation of any kind (i.e., outside of ECDC Chapter 18.30), the
more restrictive requirement shall govern, unless otherwise approved by the City.
This Addendum includes information to supplement or elaborate on the guidelines and requirements
outlined in ECDC Chapter 18.30 and the SWMMWW. To highlight for Addendum users where the
ECDC, SWMMWW, or Addendum apply, the following sections outline the general applicability of each
document, summarized according to the organization of the SWMMWW. Note however that the
SWMMWW is not always written in a manner that is suitable as a municipal regulatory tool, therefore
there are known overlaps among the ECDC, SWMMWW, and Addendum. As such, this section is only
intended to be a guide, not a definitive resource on SWMMWW applicability. When questions or
potential inconsistencies arise, project proponents should contact the City for clarification and
interpretation.

3 APPLICABILITY OF THE MINIMUM
REQUIREMENTS
This chapter is based on SWMMWW Volume I, Section 2.4, however the content below has been
updated to reflect the specific requirements of ECDC 18.30. Project proponents must review
ECDC 18.30 in detail. The following provides additional information and direction on the thresholds and
applicability of minimum requirements outlined in ECDC 18.30.060.
Project proponents must be aware that not all of the minimum requirements apply to every development
project. The applicability varies depending on the project type and size. This chapter summarizes
thresholds that determine the applicability of the minimum requirements to different projects. Review
ECDC 18.30.060 and use the flow chart in Figure 3.1 to determine which of the minimum requirements
apply to your project. (The minimum requirements themselves are provided in 18.30.060.D and are
summarized in Chapter 5 of this Addendum).
The thresholds described below and in Figure 3.1 are to be determined at the time of application for a
subdivision, plat, short plat, building permit, or other construction permit. For projects involving only
land disturbing activities, (e.g., clearing or grading), the thresholds apply at the time of application for the
permit allowing or authorizing that activity.

8.2.e
3.1 THRESHOLDS AND APPLICABILITY
All development shall be required to comply with Minimum Requirement No. 2.
The following Category 1 project sites shall comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 5:
• Results in 2,000 square feet, or greater, of new plus replaced hard surface area, or
• Have land disturbing activity of 7,000 square feet or greater.
The following Category 2 project sites shall comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 9:
• Results in 5,000 square feet or more of new plus replaced hard surfaces, or
• Converts 0.75 acres, or more, of vegetation to lawn or landscaped areas, or
• Converts 2.5 acres, or more, of native vegetation to pasture.
3.1.1 Additional Requirements for Road -Related Projects
For road -related projects, runoff from the new hard surfaces (including pavement, shoulders, curbs, and
sidewalks) and the converted vegetation areas shall meet all the minimum requirements if the new hard
surfaces total 5,000 square feet or more. In addition, if the new hard surfaces total 5,000 square feet or
more and total 50 percent or more of the existing hard surfaces within the project limits, runoff from the
new and replaced hard surfaces and the converted vegetation areas shall meet all the minimum
requirements. The project limits shall be defined by the length of the project and the width of the right-of-
way.
3.1.2 New Connections to the City's MS4
When a property owner proposes a new connection to the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
(MS4), and the situation either 1) does not exceed the Category 1 or Category 2 thresholds above, or
2) does not involve activity that meets the definition of development, the following applies:
• Sites that are not currently connected to the City's MS4 but wish to connect directly or indirectly
to the City's MS4 may be allowed on a case -by -case basis, subject to City approval.
• For sites that propose to drain greater than or equal to 2,000 square feet of hard surface area to the
City's MS4, the project shall comply with the requirements of this chapter, treating all hard
surfaces to be drained to the City system as new hard surfaces, unless applicant can demonstrate
that the site will discharge in the same manner and quantities prior to the proposed project.
Applicant shall account for natural dispersion and/or infiltration which may be occurring if these
new hard surfaces area currently drain through pervious areas in their analysis.min4ffmm

3.1.3 Comparisons to the SWMMWW
Project proponents must review ECDC 18.30 in detail, but the following notes are provided to help
clarify how ECDC 18.30.060 compares to the SWMMWW regarding applicability of the minimum
requirements (see Chapter 5 for additional details on the individual minimum requirements and how they
differ from the SWMMWW):
1. ECDC 18.30 refers to "Category 1" projects and "Category 2" projects. See ECDC 18.30.060 for
complete details, but in general:
O Category 1 project sites result in 2,000 square feet, or greater, of new plus replaced hard
surface area and shall comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 5.
O Category 2 project sites result in 5,000 square feet, or greater, of new plus replaced hard
surface area and shall comply with Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 9.
2. ECDC 18.30 does not differentiate between new development and redevelopment.
3. Information regarding which surfaces each minimum requirement applies to (e.g., new hard
surfaces, replaced hard surfaces, or both) is typically discussed under each minimum requirement
as opposed to within the initial applicability section.
4In addition to item No. 3 above, ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.b includes a retrofit requirement for
projects that discharge directly or indirectly to the City's MS4 and that contain existing hard
surfaces that do not drain to an approved stormwater management facility. These projects are
required to provide On -site Stormwater Management BMPs to manage a portion (a minimum of
25 percent) of those existing hard surfaces that will remain after project completion. See ECDC
18.30.060.D.5.b for complete details on this requirement.
45. ECDC 18.30.060.D.5 also adds detention as a BMP to be ^er�'�.onsidered for feasibility
under Minimum Requirement #5 in additional to those in SWMMWW, see Section 6.3.
5-.6. As per the SWMMWW, for road -related projects, if the new hard surfaces total 5,000 square feet
or more and total 50 percent or more of the existing hard surfaces within the project limits, runoff
from the new and replaced hard surfaces shall meet all the minimum requirements. Otherwise, the
minimum requirements only apply to the new hard surfaces (if the new hard surfaces total
5,000 square feet or more). Unlike the SWMMWW, non -road -related projects do not have to
assess the valuation of the proposed improvements in order to determine the applicability of the
minimum requirements. In general, once triggered by the applicable project area thresholds (see
below and ECDC 18.30.060), the minimum requirements apply to both new and replaced hard
surfaces.
7ECDC 18.30-.060 and this Addendum also includes requirements for new connections to the
City's MS4, when the proposed connection does not involve activity that meets the definition of
development. See the previous section of this Addendum for additional information on new
connections.
8. ECDC 18.30 and this Addendum modify the flow modelling basin to be used in modelling, see
Section 2.6.
9. ECDC 18.30 and this Addendum requires use of the phosphorus treatment menu within the Hall's
Creek and Lake Ballinger basins; see Section 5.6.
6 10. Section 5.3, below, prohibits the use of corrugated metal piping (LCMP) within Edmonds.

4 PROJECT BASIN LOCATION AND
APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS
4.1 DETERMINING DOWNSTREAM RECEIVING SYSTEM(S)
Broadly speaking, stormwater runoff in the City of Edmonds either travels west to Puget Sound (via a
creek or piped system) or to the east to Lake Ballinger or Hall Creek, which discharges to Lake Ballinger.
In addition to assessing the new and replaced hard surfaces and converted vegetation areas associated
with a project, the minimum requirements (primarily Minimum Requirements No. 5, No. 6, and No. 7)
can also vary depending on the project's downstream receiving waterbody and/or drainage system. The
specific details of each minimum requirement are outlined in Chapter 5, but in general, projects should
determine what type of system(s) their project site drains to early in the development process: The two
primary systems to be aware of are described below. Note that these systems are not mutually exclusive:
1. Direct Discharge areas: Those site areas that discharge runoff directly to Puget Sound via a
constructed conveyance system (e.g., pipe or ditch) without first entering a creek or other
receiving water. (See Section 2.53.4.7 of Volume I of the SWMMWW for the full list of
restrictions that must be met to qualify as a direct discharge.)
2. City of Edmonds Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4): Those site areas that discharge
to the City's MS4 before ultimately discharging to a downstream receiving water (e.g., a creek,
lake, or Puget Sound). See the City's NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit for the complete
MS4 definition, but this generally includes sites that discharge to a dedicated stormwater
conveyance system (including roads with drainage systems, ditches, manmade channels, or storm
drains) owned or operated by the City and that discharge to waters of Washington State
(including creeks, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and Puget Sound).
A map of watersheds in Edmonds is available via the Edmonds GIS Map that can be accessed on the
City's website here: (<www.maps.edmondswa.gov>). (Note that the City's NIS4 is fet ide ti fie r
City's S4+Direct Discharge Basins are those labeled "Puget Sound;" or "Puget Sound Piped_;"ef
"Edmends x; ay." - Edmonds Way is known to have an overflow under certain conditions which creates a
discharge to Edmonds Marsh (not considered man-made drainage course for the purposes of this
exemption), and therefore the Edmonds Way basin shall not be considered a direct discharge basin. An
applicant with site -specific information that is contrary to the basin designations shown in Figure B-1 can
present this information to the Public Works Director (Director) or designee for a possible change in basin
designation. The Director or designee will make a determination on any requests for a site -specific change
in basin designation.

4.2 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Edmonds is fortunate to be located adjacent to Puget Sound and possess topography that facilitates
desirable views. The underlying soils and relatively steep slopes, however, complicate the application of
stormwater management techniques.
Prior to logging and subsequent development of the Edmonds area, trees and the forest duff layer above
the soil surface (consisting primarily of needles, leaves, branches, bark, and stems in various stages of
decomposition) covered the city. With logging came the elimination of the majority of the tree canopy
and the duff layer, and with it the elimination of the water -holding capacity of the natural land cover. In
the majority of the city, the soils that remain (after forest removal and subsequent development) consist of
till or hard pan, which is much less effective at storing or absorbing rainwater. Although this Addendum
and the SWMMWW place substantial emphasis on the use of infiltration and on -site stormwater
management techniques, the soil regime in the City of Edmonds can make this goal challenging. It is
therefore important that project sites thoroughly investigate and understand their soil conditions (as well
as other site conditions such as slope, groundwater levels, etc.) before proceeding too far with the site
stormwater design. See the submittal checklists in Appendix C (Checklists 1 through 3), BMP
infeasibility criteria in Appendix A, and SWMMWW Chapter- 3-for additional details and requirements.
In addition to challenging soil conditions, approximately 25 percent of the land area in the City of
Edmonds has a slope of 15 percent or greater or is in an Earth Subsidence and Landslide Hazard Area (the
Meadowdale area in the northernmost portion of the city). Geologic hazards in these areas can be
increased when stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces percolates into the soil. As emphasized in the
submittal checklists in Appendix C (Checklists 1 through 3), BMP infeasibility criteria in Appendix A,
and SWMMWW Chapter 3; consideration of slopes in the project vicinity is a critical component of the
site stormwater design.

5 PROJECT MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
This chapter should be used as a supplement to ECDC 18.30.060.13 and SWMMWW Volume I,
Seetion 3 as it emphasizes the key differences between the minimum requirements outlined in
the SWMMWW and those outlined in ECDC 18.30.060.D. Project proponents must still review
ECDC 18.30.060.D in detail, but the following text provides additional information and direction on the
minimum requirements outlined in ECDC 18.30.060.D. As noted previously in Chapter 4, once a given
minimum requirement is triggered (per the thresholds in Chapter 3), the specifics of the minimum
requirement may vary depending on the project downstream receiving waterbody and/or drainage system.
5.1 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 1 - PREPARATION OF
STORMWATER SITE PLANS
Stormwater Site Plans are required for all projects subject to Minimum Requirement No. 1, as outlined in
Chapter 3 and ECDC 18.30.060.C. Stormwater Site Plans shall be prepared in accordance with Chapter 3
of Volume 4-III of the SWMMWW. However, because Chapter 3 of the SWMMWW includes extensive
technical requirements, but does not explicitly specify how those requirements shall be consistently
documented, submitted, and/or reviewed for a typical development project, the City of Edmonds has
developed project checklists to facilitate compliance with this minimum requirement (and thus project
submittal and review). Those checklists are introduced in Chapter 7 and provided in Appendix C,
Checklists 1 through 3.
5.2 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 2 - CONSTRUCTION
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
See ECDC 18.30.060.D.2. In addition, note that ECDC 18.30.060.D.2.d.i points to the SWMMWW
Chapter -23, Section 2-.5--.23.4.2 for details on the requirements for Construction Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plans (SWPPPs), including the 13 Elements that must be reflected in the Construction
SWPPP. See Chapter 6 for additional requirements pertaining to Construction SWPPP Element No. 13 —
Protect Low Impact Development BMPs, which are not provided in the SWMMWW.
5.3 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 3 - SOURCE CONTROL
OF POLLUTION
See ECDC 18.30.060.D.3 and SWMMWW Volume IV. Note that all single-family residential projects
shall, at a minimum, incorporate required BMPs from SWMMWW Volume IV, S411 — BMPs for
Landscaping and Lawn/Vegetation Management.
5. PROJECT MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS 15
Packet Pg. 270
8.2.e
Corrugated metal pipe (CMP) has been found to be a routine failure problem in Edmonds and a potential
source of additional sediment in the Citysystem. For this reason, CMP pipe is not permitted within
Edmonds on either public or private property or both conveyance storm pipe and for detention tanks.
5.4 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 4 - PRESERVATION OF
NATURAL DRAINAGE SYSTEMS AND OUTFALLS
See ECDC 18.30.060.D.4 and the content presented below. Although this minimum requirement is based
on Minimum Requirement No. 4 in SWMMWW Volume I, Section 1-543.4.4, there are enough
differences between the City's requirements and those in the SWMMWW that project proponents should
not refer to the SWMMWW for Minimum Requirement No. 4. Only ECDC 18.30.060.D.3 and the
following shall be required. To demonstrate compliance with this minimum requirement, all projects shall
submit as part of their Stormwater Site Plan an off -site analysis that assesses the potential off -site impacts
of stormwater discharges. (See the end of this section, and Chapter 6, for details on the requirements for
analysis and documentation.)
Natural drainage patterns shall be maintained, and discharges from the project site shall occur at the
natural location, to the maximum extent practicable. The manner by which runoff is discharged from the
project site must not cause a significant adverse impact to downstream receiving waters or down gradient
properties. The discharge must have an identified overflow route that is safe and certain, and leads to the
ultimate outfall location (such as a receiving water or municipal drainage system). All outfalls require
energy dissipation. (Designs for outfall systems to protect against adverse impacts from concentrated
runoff are included in SWMMWW Volume V, Chapter 41.)
In addition, existing upstream flows must be accommodated without causing erosion or flooding impacts.
Upstream drainage means drainage from adjacent property that enters the proposed project site (other than
a defined natural channel). Upstream flows shall not be routed through the project's conveyance,
treatment, or retention/detention systems, unless those systems are sized to control those flows. Upstream
flows that are collected and routed through or around the site in a separate conveyance shall be dispersed
at the downgradient property line, if feasible, or discharged at a project outfall (or outfalls) in a manner
that does not violate the criteria below or cause the capacity of a conveyance system to be exceeded.
Where no conveyance system exists at the adjacent downgradient property line and the discharge was
previously unconcentrated flow or significantly lower concentrated flow, measures must be taken to
prevent downgradient impacts. Drainage easements from downstream property owners may be needed
and should be obtained prior to approval of engineering plans.
For Category 2 projects only — where no conveyance system exists at the adjacent downstream property
line and the natural (existing) discharge is unconcentrated, any runoff concentrated by the proposed
project, including upstream drainage, must be discharged as follows:
1. If the 100-year peak discharge is less than or equal to 0.2 cfs (0.3 cfs using 15-minute time steps)
under existing conditions and will remain less than or equal to 0.2 cfs under developed
conditions, then the concentrated runoff may be discharged onto a rock pad or to any other
system that serves to disperse flows.
2. If the 100-year peak discharge is between 0.2 and 0.5 cfs (or 0.75 cfs using 15-minute time steps)
under existing conditions and will remain in that range under developed conditions, then the
16 5. PROJECT MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Packet Pg. 271
8.2.e
concentrated runoff may be discharged through a dispersal trench or other dispersal system,
provided the applicant can demonstrate that there will be no significant adverse impact to
downhill properties or drainage systems.
3. If the 100-year peak discharge is greater than 0.5 cfs for either existing or developed conditions,
or if a significant adverse impact to downgradient properties or drainage systems is likely, then a
conveyance system shall be provided to convey the concentrated runoff across the downstream
properties to an acceptable discharge point (i.e., an enclosed drainage system or open drainage
feature where concentrated runoff can be discharged without significant adverse impact).
To demonstrate compliance with this minimum requirement, all projects shall submit as part of their
Stormwater Site Plan an off -site analysis that assesses the potential off -site impacts of stormwater
discharges. Off -site analyses shall assess upstream and downstream conditions, including the conveyance
capacity and erosion potential in the downstream system. If a problem is found, mitigation is required to
prevent worsening of that problem or to mitigate an existing flooding or erosion problem. The off -site
analysis shall include, at a minimum, a qualitative analysis of each upstream drainage system entering a
site, and each downstream drainage system leaving a site. A quantitative analysis may be required for any
project deemed to need additional downstream information or where the project proponent or the City
determines that a quantitative analysis is necessary to evaluate the off -site impacts or the capacity of the
conveyance system (e.g., where there is evidence of a risk to downstream systems such as erosion,
flooding, property damage, habitat damage, water quality degradation, or other related impacts). See
Chapter 6 for additional details on off -site analyses and documentation.
5.5 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 5 - ON -SITE
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
The City has made several additions and changes to the contents of Minimum Requirement No. 5 relative
to the SWMMWW. Project proponents must review ECDC 18.30.060.D.5 in detail to ensure all City -
specific requirements are addressed. This section of the Addendum provides a summary of the City -
specific elements of Minimum Requirement No. 5.
In addition, this Addendum includes several tools to support implementation of Minimum Requirement
No. 5 and related requirements. These tools include:
A summary of infeasibility criteria for all On -Site Stormwater Management BMPs (see
Appendix A). These infeasibility criteria must be considered when evaluating the feasibility of
On -Site Stormwater Management BMPs as part of List No. 1 or List No. 2. The infeasibility
criteria are included within the specific BMP descriptions in the SWMMWW, but are
summarized in Appendix A for clarity. Appendix A also includes additional BMP infeasibility
criteria that are specific to the City of Edmonds, and not necessarily included in the 240442019
SWMMWW.
2. A summary of acceptable methods for determining BMP design infiltration rates (see
Appendix B; and Appendix C, Checklist 4). Initial site infiltration rates may be determined either
using field testing procedures, or the Soil Grain Size Analysis Method. These methods are
described in detail in Appendix B.
5. PROJECT MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS 17
Packet Pg. 272
8.2.e
A summary of site investigation and field and design procedures required for several of the On -
Site Stormwater Management BMPs as well as for infiltration basins and trenches (see
Appendix C, Checklists 5 and 6). The field and design procedures required to design and
implement On -Site Stormwater Management BMPs can be considerable, and include issues such
as determining infiltration rates, determining depth to groundwater or other impermeable layers,
soils reporting requirements, etc.
4. Submittal checklists for Category 1 and Category 2 projects, including notes on project site, soil,
and BMP design information that must be documented and submitted to the City to meet the City
of Edmonds and SWMMWW requirements related to Minimum Requirement No. 5 (and other
minimum requirements. See Appendix C, Checklists 1 through 3.
5. Design checklists for most of the On -Site Stormwater Management BMPs in List No. 1 and List
No. 2 (see Appendix D).
The applicability of Minimum Requirement No. 5 depends on the project type, project location, and the
existing and proposed surfaces at the project site. See ECDC 18.30.060.D.5 for details, but in summary:
Projects that drain directly or indirectly to the City's MS4 and that contain existing hard surfaces
that do not drain to an approved stormwater management facility are required to provide On -Site
Stormwater Management BMPs to manage a minimum of 25 percent of those existing hard
surfaces that will remain after the project. The intent is to bring a portion of any existing,
unmanaged surfaces up to current standards. If the 25 percent minimum is met, projects are not
required to evaluate BMPs in priority order or document infeasibility for these existing surfaces
(as per the subsequent project scenarios).
2. Similar to the SWMMWW, Category 1 project sites (project sites subject to Minimum
Requirements No. 1 through No. 5) that discharge directly or indirectly to the City's MS4 shall
either use On -Site Stormwater Management BMPs from List No. 1 (see ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.d)
for all new plus replaced hard surfaces and land disturbed, or demonstrate compliance with the
LID Performance Standard (See ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.c). Note that in the City of Edmonds, List
No. 1 includes detention vaults or pipes as the final BMP option for roofs and other hard surfaces.
See Chapter 6 for associated design requirements for detention vaults and pipes, including
simplified sizing methods for meeting Minimum Requirement No. 5. (Note also that if the project
is required to construct a flow control facility to comply with Minimum Requirement No. 7 (per
ECDC 18.30.060.D.7), a detention vault or pipe is not required to be installed to meet Minimum
Requirement No. 5.)
Categor,2project sites (project sites subject to Minimum Requirements No. 1 through No. 9) are
subject to similar requirements as Category 1 projects, but must use List No. 2 instead of List
No. 1 (see ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.e).
4. Projects that discharge directly to Puget Sound through the City's MS4 (in accordance with the
restrictions applicable to direct discharges to Puget Sound presented in Section 2.5.7 of Volume I
of the SWMMWW) do not have to achieve the LID Performance Standard, and only have to
evaluate a subset of the BMPs in List No. 1 or List No. 2. in addition,

o Discharge runoff to an on -site system from List No. 1 (see in ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.d).
■ Sites located within earth subsidence and landslide hazard areas or their buffers are not
required to evaluate BMPs in priority order or document infeasibility. However, a
geotechnical design, analysis, and report by a geotechnical engineer is required.
■ For sites located outside earth subsidence and landslide hazard areas or their buffers,
projects must meet applicable Category 1 or Category 2 project requirements for
Minimum Requirement No. 5 (see ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.ii and ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.iii).
o Project sites may pump on -site runoff to the City's MS4, with prior approval.
a,,wast e ri, analysis will be .o ,,; oa ; in such cases, projects shall meet all provisions of
ECDC 18.30 as they would drain to the MS4 in post project conditions.
6. Finally, the following guidance shall be used to help clarify the requirements in the SWMMWW
specific to List No. 1 and No. 2. Where the SWMMWW and ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.d/e states that
"for each surface, consider the BMPs in the order listed for that type of surface. Use the first
BMP that is considered feasible. No other On -Site Stormwater Management BMP is necessary
for that surface" the following clarifications are provided:
o The goal of List No. 1 and List No. 2 is to manage 100 percent of each surface. If a project
cannot manage 100 percent of a given surface with the first feasible BMP, a second BMP
may be required to manage the remaining unmanaged area (depending on the size of the
unmanaged area and the site -specific constraints). For example, where a roof surface drains to
multiple downspouts around the perimeter of the structure, it is generally insufficient to only
manage runoff that drains to a single downspout and to leave the remaining downspouts
unmanaged (i.e., due to infeasibility considerations).
7. For BMPs without specific sizing criteria in this Addendum, single family residential projects
under 2,000 SF of new plus replaced hard surfaces only, may use the simplified sizing per the
included checklist for each BMP or per Volume V of SWMMWW to satisfy Minimum
Requirement #5. However, such sizing methodology shall be assumed to generate an overflow
and a piped or subsurface overflow connection is required for such BMPs unless otherwise
waived by the City.
5.6 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 6 - RUNOFF
TREATMENT
See ECDC 18.30.060.D.6 for thresholds and core requirements. See the SWMMWW for additional
information on complying with this minimum requirement. In particular, the following sections should be
reviewed:
• Volume I, Section2-.-S-.63.4.6 for details on treatment facility sizing
• Volume I, Chapter 4 and Volume V, Chapters 2 and 3 for general BMP selection. Note also that
phosphorus treatment is required for projects that drain to Hall Creek or Lake Ballinger.

5.6.1 Edmonds -Specific Oil and Floatables Control
In addition to the oil control requirements in the SWMMWW, all projects in the City of Edmonds not
zoned as single-family residential that collect runoff from five or more parking spaces shall install
floatable controls in catch basins (if another approved floatable control system is not employed).
5.7 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT NO. 7 — FLOW CONTROL
See ECDC 18.30.060.D.7 for thresholds and core requirements. See the SWMMWW for additional
information on complying with this minimum requirement (in particular, Volume I, Section 1-5-.73.4.7).
Note that flow control in accordance with Minimum Requirement No. 7 is not required for projects that
discharge directly to, or indirectly through the City's MS4 to Puget Sound (other minimum requirements
still apply, including Minimum Requirement No. 6, as well as Minimum Requirement No. 5 and the
Edmonds Way direct discharge requirements). See ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.b.iv and Section 2-.5-.73.4.7 of
Volume I of the SWMMWW for additional restrictions applicable to direct discharges to Puget Sound.
In addition, the following information may be useful in determining the applicability of Minimum
Requirement No. 7, specifically per the 100-year flow frequency threshold outlined in
ECDC 18.30.060.D.7.b.iii:
Calculations to determine whether a project exceeds the 0.10 cubic feet per second (cfs), using a 1-hour
time step (or 0.15 cfs using a 15-minute time step) increase in the 100-year recurrence interval flow must
be performed individually for each project using an approved continuous simulation runoff model. The
calculation will compare runoff in the post development site to the pre -development land cover. Pre -
development, for this activity only, is the lower runoff of the pre project condition, or the site on July 6,
1977 (the effective date of the City's first drainage control ordinance). The unique site, soil, precipitation,
and other project -specific factors will ultimately determine whether this threshold is exceeded.
Nonetheless, the following general guidelines (based on hypothetical site designs) may be used to help
identify the likelihood of this threshold being exceeded. The following land use changes are likely to
exceed this threshold under certain conditions:
• Converting approximately 5,000 square feet of forest to hard surface
• Converting approximately 5,000 square feet of pasture to hard surface
• Converting approximately 0.25 acres of forest to landscape surface
• Converting approximately 1.25 acres of forest to pasture surfaces (in till soil conditions)

6 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
This chapter includes additional requirements that are either not included in the SWMMWW, or that are
supplemental to the information provided in the SWMMWW. Specifically, this chapter addresses:
1. Additional requirements pertaining to Construction SWPPP Element No. 13 — Protect Low
Impact Development BMPs (required in the SWMMWW, bttt not outlined in this level of detail)
2. Details on the off -site analyses and documentation required to comply with Minimum
Requirement No. 4, Preservation of Natural Drainage Systems and Outfalls (City of Edmonds
specific).
3. Design requirements for detention vaults and pipes when used to meet Minimum Requirement
No. 5.
4. Information on Underground Injection Controls (UICs).
6.1 PROTECTION OF LID FACILITIES DURING
CONSTRUCTION
To ensure that LID stormwater facilities and BMPs will be fully functional after construction, it is
important to protect these BMPs during construction activities. Protecting native soil and vegetation,
minimizing soil compaction, and retaining the hydrologic function of LID BMPs during the site
preparation and construction phases are some of the most important practices during the development
process.
The purpose of this section is to provide designers, builders, and inspectors with guidance and tools for
meeting Minimum Requirement No. 2, Element No. 13 — Protect Low Impact Development BMPs. This
section does not provide guidance on construction or design of LID BMPs (see SWMMWW Volume III
and Volume V), or cover all Construction SWPPP practices (see SWMMWW Volume II), but rather
focuses on how to most efficiently reduce impacts on LID BMPs specifically during construction. The
practices specified in this section must be applied to protect LID BMPs, unless the given practice
does not apply to the project site conditions or activities.
6.1.1 General Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs
Applicable to LID
Overall Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) requirements are specified in
Chapter 5, Minimum Requirement No. 2 and SWMMWW Volume II. In general, Construction SWPPP
BMPs limit the impact of site disturbance, erosion, and sediment deposition during construction. Some
Construction SWPPP BMPs focus on providing a physical barrier or deterrent to help minimize
construction -related site disturbance and/or erosion, while other Construction SWPPP BMPs help protect
6. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS 23
Packet Pg. 278
8.2.e
the site from concentrated (i.e., erosive) flows. General Construction SWPPP BMPs and their application
for protection of LID BMPs in particular are summarized below. These BMPs must be considered for
projects subject to Minimum Requirement No. 2 that are proposing to construct LID BMPs.
Construction SWPPP BMP
Application
BMP C103: High Visibility Fence
Use fencing to limit clearing; prevent disturbance of sensitive areas, their
buffers, and other areas; limit construction traffic; and protect areas
where marking with flagging may not provide adequate protection
BMP C200: Interceptor Dike and Swale
Use an interceptor dike and/or swale to intercept the runoff from
unprotected areas and direct it to areas where erosion can be controlled
BMP C201: Grass -Lined Channels
Use grass lined channels where concentrated runoff may cause erosion
and flooding of the site
BMP C207: Check Dams
Use check dams in swales or ditches to reduce the velocity and dissipate
concentrated flow
BMP C208: Triangular Silt Dike (TSD)
Use triangular silt dikes as check dams, for perimeter protection,
(Geotextile-Encased Check Dam)
temporary soil stockpile protection, drop inlet protection, or as a
temporary interceptor dike
BMP C231: Brush Barrier
Use brush barriers to decrease flow velocities and reduce transport of
coarse sediment from overland flow
BMP C233: Silt Fence
Use silt fences to decrease flow velocities and reduce transport of
sediment from overland flow
BMP C234: Vegetated Strip
Use vegetated strips to decrease flow velocities and reduce transport of
sediment from overland flow
6.1.2 Additional Construction Techniques for LID BMPs
In addition to the general Construction SWPPP BMPs presented in Section 6.1.1, this section outlines
specific construction -phase techniques to protect LID BMPs. LID BMP protection is still a somewhat
new and evolving practice, therefore the specific LID BMP protection measures outlined below are not
explicitly called out in the SWMMWW. Rather, the techniques presented in this section supplement the
Construction SWPPP BMPs presented above, and those presented in the SWMMWW Volume II. (Note
these techniques can be applied to any site, not just those incorporating LID, but these techniques are
particularly important for LID BMP protection.)
Construction Site Planning and Sequencing
Construction site planning and sequencing is a procedural BMP that is critical to successful installation
and long-term operation of LID BMPs. Proper site planning and construction sequencing will minimize
the impact of construction on permanent stormwater facilities by reducing the potential for soil erosion
and compaction. Site planning and sequencing techniques to be used as practicable for protection of LID
BMPs include:

• Stockpile materials in areas designated for clearing and
grading (such as parking areas and future impervious
roadways) and away from infiltration and other stormwater
facilities.
• Cover small stockpiles with weed barrier material that sheds
moisture yet allows air transmission. Large stockpiles may
need to be seeded and/or mulched.
• Do not relocate topsoil or other material to areas where they
can cover critical root zones, suffocate vegetation, or erode
into adjacent streams.
Use effective revegetation methods
• Use native plant species adapted to the local environment.
• Plant during late fall, winter, or early spring months when
vegetation is likely to establish quickly and survive.

(e.g., infiltration and dispersion) as well as specific LID BMPs (permeable pavement, bioretention
areas/rain gardens, and vegetated roofs). The BMP protection techniques presented previously in
Section 6.1.2 are applicable to the overall construction site to help protect LID BMPs. The techniques
outlined in this section are based on the specific BMP functions, targeting typical construction activities
that pose a risk to individual BMPs.
Infiltration and Dispersion Facility Construction Techniques
It is critical that appropriate methods are used to protect infiltration and dispersion BMPs from
compaction and sediment loading during construction. For infiltration facilities in particular, the subgrade
soils must be protected from clogging and over -compaction to maintain the soil permeability and ensure
BMP performance. Techniques for protection of infiltration and dispersion BMPs during various stages of
construction are summarized below.
Construction Stage
Techniques for Protecting Infiltration and Dispersion Facilities
Prior to construction
• The infiltration/dispersion area shall be clearly identified (e.g., using flagging
or high visibility fencing) and protected prior to construction to prevent
compaction of underlying soils by vehicle traffic.
• Develop a soil and vegetation management plan showing areas to be
protected and restoration methods for disturbed areas before land clearing
sta rts.
• The Construction SWPPP sheets must outline construction sequencing that will
protect the infiltration/dispersion area during construction.
• Construction SWPPP BMPs and protection techniques identified in the
previous sections shall be implemented as applicable. In particular, be sure to
stabilize upslope construction areas (e.g., using silt fences, berms, mulch, or
other Construction SWPPP BMPs) and minimize overland flow distances.
Excavation
• Excavation of infiltration/dispersion areas shall be performed by machinery
operating adjacent to the BMP. No heavy equipment with narrow tracks,
narrow tires, or large lugged high pressure tires shall be allowed on the
infiltration/dispersion area footprint.
• Where feasible, excavate infiltration/dispersion areas to final grade only after
all disturbed areas in the upgradient project drainage area have been
permanently stabilized. (If infiltration areas must be excavated before
permanent site stabilization, initial excavation must be conducted to no less
than 6 inches of the final elevation of the facility floor.)
• Excavation of infiltration areas shall not be allowed during wet or saturated
conditions.
• The use of draglines and trackhoes should be considered for constructing
infiltration and dispersion areas.
• The bottom (and sidewalls if feasible) of an infiltration facility excavation must
be raked or scarified to a minimum depth of 3 inches after final excavation to
restore infiltration rates.
• Scarify soil along the dispersion flow path if disturbed during construction.

Construction Stage
Techniques for Protecting Infiltration and Dispersion Facilities
Sediment control
. Bioretention, rain garden, and permeable pavement BMPs shall not be used as
sediment control facilities, and all drainage shall be directed away from the
BMP location after initial rough grading.
Direct construction site flow away from the infiltration/dispersion area using
applicable Construction SWPPP BMPs (e.g., temporary diversion swales).
Permeable Pavement
There are many potential applications and site scenarios where permeable pavement can be applied. The
following techniques highlight the most broadly applicable techniques to be used to protect permeable
pavement BMPs during construction. Refer to the previous section for construction protection methods
that are applicable to all infiltration BMPs, as well as Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 for general site protection
measures. In addition to those techniques, the following techniques apply specifically for protection of
permeable pavement during construction:
• Use procedural BMPs to plan construction. For example, phase construction to minimize
compaction, sedimentation, or structural damage to the permeable pavement.
• Use physical Construction SWPPP BMPs and/or grade the site to avoid sediment laden runoff
from reaching permeable pavements.
• Place protective surfaces (e.g., waterproof tarps and steel plates) over any permeable pavement
areas used for construction staging.
%%
• Do not drive sediment -laden construction equipment on the base material or pavement. Do not
allow sediment -laden runoff on permeable pavements or base materials.
• Once the pavement is finished and set, cover the pavement surface with plastic and geotextile to
protect from other construction activities. Close and protect the pavement area until the site is
permanently stabilized.
• Incorporate measures to protect road subgrade from over compaction and sedimentation if
permeable pavement roads are used for construction access.
o Cover the aggregate base or pavement surface with protective geotextile fabric and protect
fabric with steel plates or gravel. Gravel should only be used to protect the fabric placed over
aggregate base.
o Once construction is complete and the site is permanently stabilized, remove protective
geotextile, clean, and complete pavement installation.
Refer to the detailed permeable pavement BMP information in SWMMWW Volume V, Chapter 5, as
well as City of Edmonds Standard Details for general permeable pavement construction criteria.

Packet Pg. 283
8.2.e
Bioretention Areas and Rain Gardens
As with permeable pavements, there are many potential applications and site scenarios where bioretention
and rain garden BMPs can be applied. The following techniques highlight the most broadly applicable
techniques to be used to protect bioretention and rain garden BMPs during construction. Refer to the
beginning of this section for construction protection methods that are applicable to all infiltration BMPs,
as well as Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 for general site protection measures. In addition to those techniques,
the following techniques apply specifically for protection of bioretention and rain garden BMPs during
construction:
• Excavation:
o If machinery must operate in the bioretention area for excavation, use lightweight, low
ground -contact pressure equipment and rip the base at completion to scarify soil to a
minimum of 12 inches.
• Protect bioretention soil mix from compaction during construction
o Do not place bioretention soil mix if saturated or during wet periods.
o Check for compaction prior to planting. If compaction occurs, aerate the bioretention soil and
then proceed to plant.
Refer to the detailed bioretention and rain garden BMP information in SWMMWW Volume V,
Chapter 7, as well as City of Edmonds Standard Details for general bioretention and rain garden
construction criteria. YV
Vegetated Roofs
The following additional techniques apply for protection of vegetated roof facilities during construction:
• Because of their location and complexity, vegetated roofs typically require more planning and
coordination effort relative to ground -level landscaping. For new construction, a critical path
approach is highly recommended to establish the sequence of tasks for construction of the
vegetated roof system.
• During construction, it is vitally important that the waterproof membrane be protected once
installed. The waterproofing should be tested prior to placement of the growth media and other
subsequent vegetated roof materials.
Refer to the detailed vegetated roof BMP information in SWMMWW Volume V, for general
construction criteria.

6.2 OFF -SITE ANALYSES AND DOCUMENTATION
All projects subject to Minimum Requirement No. 4 shall submit as part of their Stormwater Site Plan an
off -site analysis that assesses the potential off -site impacts of stormwater discharges. The following
sections detail the analysis and documentation requirements for Category 1 and Category 2 projects.
6.2.1 Category 1 Projects
Category 1 projects shall submit a qualitative analysis of potential off -site impacts of stormwater
discharges for each upstream drainage system entering a site, and each downstream drainage system
leaving a site. The upstream analysis shall identify and describe points where water enters the site. Any
upstream contributing areas shall be identified and mapped in the project Stormwater Site Plan submittal.
The downstream analysis shall extend from the project site to the receiving water, or up to one -quarter
mile, whichever is less. In many cases, runoff that leaves a project site will enter the City's MS4 within
one -quarter mile. In these instances, the project must evaluate and document downstream conditions up to
and including runoff entry into the City's MS4. In addition, the project proponent shall consult with the
City to determine whether the MS4 has any existing or anticipated capacity issues downstream of the
proposed project.
The qualitative analysis shall identify where and how stormwater runoff will leave the proposed
development site, and describe conditions downstream of the site including any existing or anticipated
future problem areas (e.g., spot flooding, property damage, erosion issues, capacity -limited drainage
systems, etc.). The qualitative analysis must be sufficient for the City to evaluate whether the project has
adequately identified potential impacts and whether proposed mitigation measures are supported by the
analysis. Some "rough" quantitative analyses, which can be based on non -surveyed field data, may be
necessary as part of the qualitative analysis to adequately describe or document the extent of observed
problem areas. Note that any off -site field visits should be conducted during winter months and after
significant precipitation events to identify seasonal issues such as flooding, capacity constraints, or
surface seeps or other indicators of near surface groundwater.
A quantitative analysis may also be required for any project where the project proponent or the City
determines that a more thorough analysis is necessary to evaluate the off -site impacts or the capacity of
the conveyance system (e.g., where there is evidence of a risk to downstream systems such as erosion,
flooding, property damage, habitat damage, water quality degradation, or other related impacts). A
quantitative analysis may include calculations and/or modeling analyses of on -site and off -site water
quality, erosion, slope stability, and other drainage -related impacts that may be caused or aggravated by a
proposed project.
6.2.2 Category 2 Projects
All Category 2 projects shall submit a qualitative analysis of potential off -site impacts of stormwater
discharges that extend downstream from the site to the receiving water. (If the ultimate discharge point is
to Puget Sound via a culvert owned by BNSF Railway, the analysis must be followed through the
drainage system all the way to Puget Sound.) A quantitative analysis may also be required for any project
deemed to need additional downstream information or where the project engineer or the City determines
that a quantitative analysis is necessary to evaluate the off -site impacts or the capacity of the conveyance
system (e.g., where there are known capacity issues or where there is evidence of a risk to downstream
30 6. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

8.2.e
systems such as erosion, flooding, property damage, habitat damage, water quality degradation, or other
related impacts).
The qualitative analysis must be sufficient for the City to evaluate whether the project has adequately
identified potential impacts and whether proposed mitigation measures are supported by the analysis.
Some "rough" quantitative analysis, which can be based on non -surveyed field data, may be required at
this stage. A downstream analysis of the project for a minimum of one -quarter of a mile is required. The
analysis must also extend upstream to a point beyond any backwater effects caused by the project. The
analysis must include field -inspection of all existing stormwater drainage systems downstream from the
project and a determination of whether the capacity of the drainage system(s) is adequate to handle the
existing flows, flows generated by the proposed project, and any overflow. Adequacy will be evaluated
based on conveyance capacity, flooding problems, erosion damage or potential, amount of freeboard in
channel and pipes, and storage potential within the system. Note that site visits should be conducted
during winter months and after significant precipitation events to identify undocumented surface seeps or
other indicators of near surface groundwater. See the end of this section for specific topics to be discussed
in the qualitative analysis.
When deemed necessary by the project engineer or required by the City, a quantitative analysis shall
include the qualitative analysis describe above, as well as quantitative calculations and/or modeling
analyses of on -site and off -site water quality, erosion, slope stability, and other drainage -related impacts
that may be caused or aggravated by a proposed project. Measures for preventing impacts and for not
aggravating existing impacts shall also be identified. ("Aggravating existing impacts" means increasing
the frequency of occurrence and/or severity of an impact.) The analysis shall document how temporary
and permanent flow control and water quality control measures identified in the Stormwater Site Plan will
mitigate the potential to create new problems or aggravate existing conditions. In many cases, design of
flow control and water quality systems according to the procedures contained in this Addendum and the
SWMMWW will be adequate demonstration of mitigation. However, upon review of this analysis and the
severity of an existing problem, the City may require more detailed analysis and/or additional mitigation
measures. In general, all existing and proposed off -site surface water conveyance systems shall be sized
to convey flows without surcharging the City's storm system (or BNSF culverts under the railroad tracks,
if applicable).
Both the qualitative analysis and the quantitative analyses (when required) shall include descriptions
and/or analyses of the following items. The descriptions shall identify existing or potential problem areas,
and whether adequate mitigation can be identified (or whether more detailed quantitative analysis is
necessary). References to other Stormwater Site Plan sections (e.g., facility sizing, conveyance,
attachments and appendices, etc.) are encouraged to reduce plan redundancy, as long as all of the required
Stormwater Site Plan issues are clearly presented:
• Describe the drainage system between the site and the receiving surface waters. Provide
information on pipe sizes, channel characteristics, and drainage structures. Describe emergency
services located along the flow path (e.g., fire/police stations, hospitals). Describe
environmentally sensitive areas, such as wetlands, etc.
• Describe the upstream drainage tributary to the project. Describe any bypass drainage from the
project which will not be controlled.
• The bulk of the analysis shall focus on highlights of important considerations from the project
overview and off -site analysis sections related to the drainage system and potential problems or
concerns. Existing and potential impacts to be evaluated and mitigated shall include, but not be
limited to:

o Flooding or bank overtopping.
o Upland erosion impacts, including slope stability and landslide hazards.
O Stream channel erosion (at the outfall location and to the downstream limit of analysis).
O Violations of surface water quality standards as identified in a Basin Plan or a TMDL/Water
Cleanup Plan (e.g., for Lake Ballinger).
O For each existing or potential problem, document: the magnitude of damage caused by the
problem, the general frequency and duration, current mitigation of the problem (if any), the
likely or possible cause of the problem, and whether the project is likely to aggravate the
problem or create a new one.
• Determine whether the project is within any other critical areas or their buffers as defined in
ECDC, and whether any additional requirements apply.
• All areas pertinent to the analyses such as site boundaries, study area boundaries, streets and
prominent features, downstream flow path, potential/existing problems, etc. shall be keyed to
features shown on the project map(s).
6.3 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR DETENTION VAULTS AND
PIPES T
This section includes design requirements and associated information for detention vaults and detention
pipes. The focus of this section is on the use of detention vaults and pipes to meet Minimum Requirement
No. 5. For other design applications (e.g., to meet Minimum Requirement No. 7), designers must refer to
the SWMMWW.
For Category 1 and 2 projects that must comply with Minimum Requirement No. 5, the final option that
is available for roofs and other hard surfaces under List No. 1 and List No. 2 (per ECDC 18.30.060.D.5
[d] or [e]) is the use of detention vaults or detention pipes. When using detention vaults or pipes to
comply with Minimum Requirement No. 5 using List No. 1 or List No. 2 in the City of Edmonds, the
following requirements apply. Note that if the project is required to construct a flow control facility to
comply with Minimum Requirement No. 7 (per ECDC 18.30.060.D.7), a detention vault is not required to
be installed to meet Minimum Requirement No. 5.
The City may waive the requirement to install a detention vault or pipe if the downstream analysis in
Minimum Requirement No. 4, or available City data indicate that peak flow control is not beneficial. Note
that this exemption is rare and most similar to the direct discharge exemption in SWMMWW; qualifin
g
for this exception will require unique site circumstances and may require additional information or
calculations from the applicant to demonstrate lack of benefit. It shall not be applied to any site which
discharges, direct or indirectly, to a stream, creek, wetland, or floodplain.

Packet Pg. 287
8.2.e
6.3.1 Sizing & Design
The City has created simplified sizing techniques for detention vaults and pipes for use in complying with
Minimum Requirement No. 5. The sizing calculations and requirements presented below are designed to
optimize detention facility functions relative to peak flow control as well as runoff "volume managed."
Volume managed is a measure of the difference between facility inflow and outflow rates, and is
evaluated using continuous simulation hydrologic modeling by comparing inflow and outflow over the
entire continuous simulation. Volume managed represents an estimate of the amount of the storm flow
that is attenuated (or removed, for facilities that utilize infiltration) by the flow control facility.
To comply with Minimum Requirement No. 5, detention vaults or pipes must be installed for any site
impervious surfaces totaling greater than or equal to 1,000 square feet that are not managed by other On -
Site Stormwater Management BMPs. This includes areas from multiple types of surfaces listed under the
list options in Minimum Requirement No. 5. For example, if unmanaged flows from roofs plus driveway
areas exceed 1,000 square feet and runoff from both surfaces can be routed to a single vault, a vault shall
be installed. In addition, projects may elect to route "managed" flows to the vault if desired (e.g., where
runoff from an installed On -Site Stormwater Management BMPs cannot be easily separated from runoff
drainage to the vault.) In this scenario, no upsizing of the vault is required for the "managed" areas. Only
the unmanaged surfaces need to be included in the sizing calculations below.
The City of Edmonds has developed standards specifically for vaults and pipes used to meet Minimum
Requirement No. 5 only. See City standard detail SD-651 for detention tank requirements specific to
minimum Requirement #5; this detail shall be completed with design information and included with any
elan set nr000sina detention under Minimum Reauirement #5.
For compliance with Minimum Requirement No. 7, SWMMWW Volume V, Chapter 12 requirements
apply.
For vaults efTipe-s-with contributing areas greater than or equal to 1,000 square feet the following sizing
requirements apply:
• Orifice size for- vaults and pi-pes fyms+shall be 0.5 inches
• Vault interior bottom area = 2 percent of contributing surface area
• Vault minimum active storage depth = 3.0 feet

6.4 UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROLS
With each update to the SWMMWW, the Department of Ecology continues to emphasize the importance
of maximizing the use of infiltration for stormwater runoff control. Given the heavy emphasis on
infiltration in the SWMMWW, and thus ECDC 18.30 and this Addendum, it is important to be aware of
related requirements for Underground Injection Controls (UICs).
In certain situations, BMPs that rely on infiltration are classified as UICs and may be regulated by
Ecology under the UIC Program (Washington Administrative Code [WAC] 173 218). For more
information on UICs, see the 2006 Eeelegy deetiment titled dui a-mee fe UIC Wells��ge

Ecology Executive Summary of the
2019 Revisions & Edmonds Response
The Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW) provides
guidance on the measures necessary to control the quantity and quality of stormwater.
Local municipalities use this manual to set stormwater requirements for new
development and redevelopment projects. Land developers and development engineers
use this manual to design permanent stormwater control plans, create construction
stormwater pollution prevention plans, and determine stormwater infrastructure.
Businesses use this manual to help design their stormwater pollution prevention plans.
The greatest use of the SWMMWW has been through National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permits. The Municipal Stormwater General
Permits for western Washington incorporate and reference the SWMMWW. The
Industrial Stormwater General Permit, Construction Stormwater General Permit,
Boatyard General Permit, and the Sand and Gravel General Permit reference the
SWMMWW. Since 2005, Ecology has reissued or issued for the first time all of these
NPDES stormwater permits. The 2019 revisions to the SWMMWW will continue to help
permittees comply with these permits.
This document is a modified version of the Executive Summary of the 2019 Revisions
as provided by the Department of Ecology. Black text represent text from the original
Ecology document, while red text indicates text added by City of Edmonds staff. City -
added text outlines how the City documents were updated (if needed) to reflect the
corresponding Ecology revision.
Prepared By: Zachary Richardson, City of Edmonds Stormwater Engineer
Updated: June 22, 2021
Types of Revisions
Usability Enhancements
The focus of the 2019 update was to enhance the usability, which will result in improved
implementation of the stormwater permits that rely on this guidance. Enhancements
include:
• Fully embracing the online user (maintain the interactive online format)
• Consolidating repetitive information
• Revising text for clarity
• Reordering sections for a better flow of concepts
References in ECDC checked against SWMMWW crosswalk and updated as needed
Several sections updated for clarity per City staff direction as well; see separate
Edmonds Summary of Change document for additional information.
Packet Pg. 303
8.2.g
Significant Changes
Ecology also identified the following changes that must be made in order to continue to
provide the best guidance available:
Continuous Simulation Modeling: Text throughout the SWMMWW has been
updated to require continuous simulation models that include:
o The ability to directly model BMPs that may be used in LID applications, such
as bioretention, permeable pavement, and green roofs.
0 15-minute time steps.
o Incorporation of the van Genuchten algorithm to model bioretention.
Changes to this section were entirely within referenced sections of SWMMWW; no
change within ECDC is needed.
2. Replaced Hard Surfaces Redevelopment Threshold: The Minimum
Requirement Thresholds for non -road related commercial or industrial
redevelopment projects have been updated to require the project proponent to
compare the value of the proposed improvements to the value of the Project Site
(the limits of disturbance) improvements, rather than the Site (the entire parcel)
improvements.
The re -development provisions associated with project valuation were previously
removed from ECDC 18.30; no changes within ECDC needed.
3. Equivalent Areas: The Redevelopment Project Thresholds have been updated to
allow a project proponent to provide Stormwater Management BMPs for an
equivalent area. The equivalent area may be on -site, or off -site if the area drains to
the same receiving water and the guidance for in -basin transfers is followed.
ECDC 18.30.060.C.4 added to include language from Appendix 1. The new
language is consistent with past staff interpretation and is not a new impact in
practice.
4. Minimum Requirement 2: The 13 Elements in 1-3.4.2 MR2: Construction
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) have been updated to incorporate
changes that were made to the 2015-2020 Construction Stormwater General
Permit.
Changes to this section were entirely within referenced sections of SWMMWW; no
change within ECDC is needed.
5. Minimum Requirement 5: 1-3.4.5 MR5: On -Site Stormwater Management has
been updated to require BMP T5.13: Post -Construction Soil Quality and
Depth when choosing to use the LID Performance Standard to meet Minimum
Requirement 5 for Minimum Requirement 1-5 projects.
Packet Pg. 304
8.2.g
ECDC 18.30.060.D.5.c.i added to require BMP T5.13 when meeting performance
criteria. The new language is consistent with past staff interpretation and is not a
new impact in practice.
6. Minimum Requirement 7: 1-3.4.7 MR7: Flow Control has been updated to ensure
that a TDA discharging to a marine waterbody meets all exemption requirements
before it can be determined to be Flow Control exempt.
Changes to this section were already incorporated into City code in ECDC
18.30.060.D.5.b.iv; no change within ECDC is needed.
7. Concrete Washout BMPs: BMP C151: Concrete Handling and BMP C154:
Concrete Washout Area have been updated to clarify that auxiliary concrete truck
components and small concrete handling equipment may be washed into formed
areas awaiting concrete pour, while concrete truck drums must be washed either
off -site or into a concrete washout area.
Changes to this section were entirely within referenced sections of SWMMWW; no
change within ECDC is needed.
8. Source Control BMPs: Volume IV (Source Control BMP Library) has been
updated with Source Control BMPs for activities not listed in previous versions of
the manual. The new activities with Source Control BMPs are:
o S434 BMPs for Dock Washing
o S441 BMPs for Potable Water Line Flushina, Water Tank
Maintenance, and Hydrant Testing
o S435 BMPs for Pesticides and an Integrated Pest Management
Program
o S444 BMPs for the Storage of Dry Pesticides and Fertilizers
o S449 BMPs for Nurseries and Greenhouses
o S450 BMPs for Irrigation
o S445 BMPs for Temporary Fruit Storage
o S439 BMPs for In -Water and Over -Water Fueling
o S436 BMPs for Color Events
o S438 BMPs for Construction Demolition
o S440 BMPs for Pet Waste
o S442 BMPs for Labeling Storm Drain Inlets On Your Property
o S443 BMPs for Fertilizer Application
o S446 BMPs for Well, Utility, Directional and Geotechnical Drillini
o S447 BMPs for Roof Vents
o S451 BMPs for Buildina. Repair. Remodelina. Paintina, and
Cnnstructinn
o S452 BMPs for Goose Waste
Changes to this section were entirely within referenced sections of SWMMWW; no
change within ECDC is needed except to update references as needed.
Packet Pg. 305
8.2.g
9. Wetlands Guidance: Appendix I-C: Wetland Protection Guidelines and I-
3.4.8 MR8: Wetlands Protection have been updated to require monitoring
and modeling of high value wetlands, if the project proponent has legal
access to them. The 2014 wetland guidance is retained, but refined, for
modeling requirements for lower value wetlands (and high value wetlands
that the project proponent does not have legal access to).
Changes to this section were entirely within referenced sections of
SWMMWW; no change within ECDC is needed.
Other Updates
Other updates include:
Incorporation of UIC Program guidance. See 1-4 UIC Program.
Edmonds Addendum Section 2.4 updated with revised reference to new UIC
section.
Expanded guidance for regional facilities. See Appendix I-D: Regional Facilities
Changes to this section were entirely within referenced sections of SWMMWW;
no change within ECDC is needed.
Guidance for stormwater control transfer programs. See Appendix I-E:
Stormwater Control Transfer Program.
Changes to this section were entirely within referenced sections of SWMMWW;
no change within ECDC is needed.

Removing of drainage code requirements to the Edmonds Way

direct discharge exemption should no longer apply.
v
Potential Impacts: This change removes a discount which previously existed in one specifi
basin within Edmonds and brings projects within Edmonds Way to be equal in cost to other N
projects through in the City. The additional cost is generally limited to increases in volume
for already proposed BMPs, as compared to the full cost of drainage design and BMP
implementation. Larger projects which trigger full flow control (MR #7) will have the most E
significant cost increases. Small SFR projects can expect between $500 and $2000 cost
a
increase, but larger (15,000 SF) commercial/multifamily projects could see increases of,
$20,000 to $50,000 -

• Rationale: The Perrinville basin has been greatly affected by 2,;t

retrofit requirement attempts to rectify some of the past abu s

Potential Impacts: Both changes result in additional cost that is generally limited to increase
in volume for already proposed BMPs, as compared to the full cost of drainage design and q i P
implementation. The flow control component will only impact larger projects with minimal- a
impacts on large project budgets; estimated to add between $12,000 and $16,000 for a larg
(15,000 SF) commercial development. The retrofit requirement has the potential to impac
homeowners who are expanding existing homes, but minimally; estimated to add $400 to a t
$600 for a SFR project which keeps most of the existing home (2,500 SF).

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 09/28/2021
Highway 99 Gateway Signs
Staff Lead: Rob English
Department: Engineering
Preparer: Rob English
Background/History
On March 2, 2021, the City Council approved the Agreement with HBB for the design of the Gateway
Signs.
On August 10, 2021, the Parks & Public Works Committee reviewed this item.
On August 24, 2021, staff presented this item to the City Council for review and discussion.
Staff Recommendation
Authorization to develop conceptual designs for three sign options on the north end and three sign
options on the south end of Highway 99.
Narrative
On August 24, 2021, staff presented three sign options each for the proposed gateway signs at the north
and south city limits on Highway 99. The options were developed based on a public survey in August,
comments from the Highway 99 Gateway sign task force and a community workshop. At the conclusion
of the meeting, City Council requested staff to seek more public input on the survey.
A second press release was issued in late August along with a posting on the City Facebook site
requesting additional public feedback on the survey. The survey closed on September 15th, and the City
received 328 additional survey responses. The previous survey responses, plus the new responses are
summarized in Attachment 2.
Background:
The design of the Gateway Signs on the north and south end of the corridor are being completed by
HBB. The proposed locations on both ends of the corridor have been identified. In order to complete
conceptual alternatives for both locations (next step as part of the design phase), different architectural
sign types, lettering style, messages, lighting, and landscaping types need to be considered. These topics
were discussed during a Task Force meeting on July 19, 2021 and Community Workshop on August 4cn
2021.
Following the Community Workshop, a survey was made available on the City website, project website
and Uptown Market to obtain public input about the preferred sign options. Upon further evaluation of
survey results and based on comments from the Task Force, three sign options on the north end and
Packet Pg. 334
8.3
three sign options on south end were generated. The next step in the design process is the development
and evaluation of conceptual alternatives.
The design of Gateway Signs will be incorporated into the plans and specifications for the Highway 99
Revitalization & Gateway project - Stage 2. The project is anticipated to begin construction in Spring
2022.

The 99 corridor doesn't have great character but Edmonds does. I think we should reflect the

overall feel of Edmonds. My words would be: community, nature, family
Education due to Edmonds Woodway and edcc

I see no need I think Welcome to Edmonds for both. If you get to fancy with these like brass
9/1/2021 6:41 PM
and glass etc like at the pier it will be destroyed. If it is bright in color and pretty simple it will
be noticed buy not bothered with and easier to fix if it is spray painted the first night. I hope all
of this is done with by the time we get to it but I have my doubts about that so. Just one
should say Ferry Access the South end one and maybe what Woodway and Grocery its tough.
The North should have below the Welcome to Edmonds Edmonds Bowl Shopping Dining and
Beach Front maybe Event centers etc. Keep it simple.
This city needs zoning laws. My neighbors make loud noise 24/7 and the city won't do
9/1/2021 12:34 PM

I would like consistency in the message. This area of the highway 99 corridor is known for
8/31/2021 6:59 AM
poverty, drug use, and crime. I would like to flip that narrative, but a pithy saying on the sign
will be more of a joke than a marketing tool. Keep the edmonds brand consistent so it is all
part of Edmonds, not just the Bowl and waterfront area.

12 They should look the same shape wise and then of course change letter to describe what is at
the end of the street... Other wise I would go with tall Vertical for all of it. That way it can
actually be seen by drivers so they have time to make the Left turn they will be making since
they will likely enter from 220th. If you use those low ones accident could occur as they look
for the sign. Trucks and Cars will block that lower horizontal sign.

1 more contemporary yet traditional, colorful for visual notice
2 Edmonds has a whole new look now! I think going too rustic is a mistake. I think it should be
colorful and verticle so it will be seen by all lanes of traffic. safer that way.. No last minute jerk
overs... I would myself use a lot of colors and use them on the n and s vertical signs I suggest
Green a bright green but not grass green, and maybe hum ... a butter yellow bright but not cold,
and how about purple a bit lighter than some but not pastel. You could throw an Aqua
blue/green and a blue that works with those. I like those colors... Then they can be used
throughout our town up and down as smaller like little lollipop signs round in those colors for
specific lead in directions etc. get it?
3 'Welcome to" sign is boring ... Wayfinder more graphically interesting
4 Throw the idea out...
5 They should represent a changing, more youthful and diverse Edmonds
6 The Five corners element is a great way to create a cohesive look for entry points into

Edmonds. The international district has distinct signage, downtown has distinct signage, and
that is nice. The north south corridors.can tie into Edmonds in a consistent fashion, and allow
our small enclaves to keep their unique characteristics.
If a decent design to bridge the two signs is possible I'm all for it. I really like the tree and
water references in the downtown edmonds sign if other elements can't make it. A green
vertical strip and blue horizontal in whatever style would be enough for me.
Bolder and stronger than any existing, with art elements of Wayfinding
make all official edmonds signs match - make A statement about the cities need to unite not

unique to cooridor
continuity is your goal or it will be too gaudy.
Something daring, original and artistic would reflect the art -focus
The signs should be similar, and the other ones updated to match the new signs
A small sign on a 4x4 is all I think is required.

Modern
Like the Miami Beach sign, but with waves rather than circles
As little to read as possible, Hwy 99 already too distracting
incorporate 1-2 design elements from wayfinding signs, but no need to make signs similar.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 09/28/2021
Council vote to return meetings to virtual platform in lieu of in -person meetings
Staff Lead: Council
Department: City Council
Preparer: Maureen Judge
Background/History
Due to the COVD-19 pandemic, the Edmonds City Council began meeting virtually in March of 2020
following Governor Jay Inslee's emergency proclamation "Stay Home, Stay Healthy." After more than 15
months Washington state lifted most COVID-19 restrictions as of June 30. The City Council resumed in -
person meetings in Council chambers on July 20.
Staff Recommendation
N/A
Narrative
A fifth wave of increasing COVID-19 transmission has been underway since approximately July 1, 2021.
In the last 12 weeks, the rate of COVID cases per 100,000 went from a low of 67 to a high of 475 - please
see charts below.
With the health and safety of all residents in mind, the Council is asked to consider returning to a virtual
meeting format instead of in -person in Council Chambers. This decision can be reviewed in a month to
determine if we want to continue in the virtual format or resume in -person meetings.

Local Health Officer Directive for Wearing of Masks in Public Indoor Spaces
Snohomish Health District
August 10, 2021
Whereas the novel coronavirus 2019 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19 has led to over
45,000 reported cases, 2,143 hospitalizations, and 639 deaths in Snohomish County since
January 2020; and
Whereas Snohomish County remains under a state of emergency declared by the Health
Officer, the County Executive, the Governor, and the Secretary of the United States
Department of Health and Human Services; and
Whereas a fifth wave of increasing COVID-19 transmission has been underway since
approximately July 1, 2021, leading to a 365% increase in weekly reported cases over the past
six weeks, arriving at a 14-day case rate of 279 per 100,000 residents; and
Whereas this case rate is above the threshold for "high transmission" as defined by the federal
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); and
Whereas vaccination against COVID-19 in Snohomish County has been underway since
December 2020 and 54% of the population is now fully vaccinated; and
Whereas approximately 230,000 Snohomish County residents >_12 years of age remain
unvaccinated despite widespread availability of vaccine for several months; and
Whereas approximately 125,000 Snohomish County children <12 years of age remain
unvaccinated due to their ineligibility for vaccination at this time; and
Whereas severely immunosuppressed individuals in the community have a reduced response
to vaccine and remain vulnerable to severe disease due to COVID-19; and
Whereas SARS-CoV-2 spreads from person to person primarily through inhalation of air
carrying very small droplets and aerosol particles that contain infectious virus; and
Whereas the more transmissible delta strain of SARS-CoV-2 now accounts for virtually all
transmission occurring in Snohomish County; and
Whereas the rates of severe disease, hospitalization, and death due to COVID-19 were
approximately 10 times higher among unvaccinated than among vaccinated persons in
Snohomish County during the month of July 2021; and

Face Covering Directive
Snohomish Health District
August 10, 2021
Page 2 of 3
Whereas occasional breakthrough infections do occur among fully vaccinated individuals,
accounting for approximately 15% of Snohomish County cases in July 2021; and
Whereas use of well fitting, multi -layer cloth face coverings or medical procedure masks has
been demonstrated to reduce generation of virus -transmitting aerosols from contagious
individuals; and
Whereas use of well fitting, multi -layer cloth face coverings or medical procedure masks also
has been demonstrated to reduce inhalation of virus -transmitting aerosols by the wearer; and
Whereas the CDC recommends all persons in high transmission communities like Snohomish
County wear masks when present in public indoor spaces —regardless of vaccination status;
and
Whereas the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation's most
recent COVID-19 Results Briefing for Washington State on August 5, 2021, projected that rapid
adoption of universal masking coverage could prevent 1,500 cumulative excess deaths due to
COVID-19 between now and December 1, 2021, in Washington State; and
Whereas on July 26, 2021, the Local Health Officer joined other regional counties' health
officers in recommending masking in public indoor spaces; and
Whereas reported cases and hospitalizations continue to increase; and
Whereas Snohomish County's hospital intensive care units collectively are operating at >_90%
maximum capacity with little additional reserve to absorb a greater surge of COVID-19
hospitalizations; and
Whereas Washington State law, RCW 70.05.070(2), (3), requires and empowers the Local
Health Officer to take such action as is necessary to maintain health and to control and prevent
the spread of any contagious or infectious diseases within the jurisdiction; and
Whereas state regulation, WAC 246-100-036, requires the Local Health Officer, when
necessary, to institute disease control measures as he, she, or they deem necessary based on
his, her, or their professional judgment, current standards of practice, and the best available
medical and scientific information;
Therefore, based upon the preceding, the Local Health Officer hereby finds that:
Use of face masks for everyone >_5 years of age within indoor public spaces is reasonable and
necessary in Snohomish County to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission until the
Snohomish Health District confirms that the COVID-19 risk to Snohomish County residents is
substantially reduced based on considerations that include but may not be limited to: COVID-19
disease rates declining to low levels of community transmission as defined by the CDC;

COVID-19 hospitalizations and death rates stabilizing at low levels; a safe and effective
COVID-19 vaccine being authorized by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in
children 5 years through 11 years of age.
EFFECTIVE Thursday, August 12, 2021, at 6:00 a.m., as the Local Health Officer I hereby
direct as follows:
Everyone >_5 years of age in Snohomish County must wear a face covering within indoor
public spaces.
Children age two, three, or four years old, while exempt from this official directive, are
recommended to wear a face covering with the assistance and close supervision of an
adult in accordance with the current Order of the Secretary of Health.
Everyone in correctional facilities, homeless shelters, schools, childcare, public
transportation, and health care settings, including doctor's offices, long-term care, and
hospitals, must also wear a well -fitted mask in accord with state requirements already in
place.
This DIRECTIVE applies to indoor spaces that are open to the public, including retail,
grocery stores, government buildings, and other businesses and places where members
of the public can enter freely; it does not apply to indoor non-public spaces, including
businesses, offices, and other places of employment with limited access. Employers
should continue to follow current guidance and requirements from the Washington State
Department of Labor and Industries on worker safety.
This DIRECTIVE also does not apply to outdoor spaces. Please follow current
Washington State Department of Health guidance and directives on the use of masks
outdoors.
I strongly urge all people in Snohomish County to voluntarily comply with this
DIRECTIVE, and likewise direct all businesses that are open to the public, including
grocery and other retail establishments, to continue implementing policies and practices
to ensure that their customers and employees wear face masks in order to protect the
health of their customers, workers, and the community.
This DIRECTIVE will remain in effect until the Snohomish Health District confirms that
COVID-19 disease rates decline to low levels of transmission as defined by the CDC or
until this directive is otherwise rescinded.

1) Call to Order / Introductions
Councilmember (CM) John Stokes (Chair) called the July Salmon Recovery Council (the "SRC," or "Council")
meeting to order at 2:02 pm. Chair Stokes welcomed everyone and conducted introductions.
11) Public Comment— No public comment.
III) Consent Agenda — The SRC Meeting Minutes from May 20, 2021 were discussed.
Action: The Salmon Recovery Council unanimously approved the May 20, 2021 meeting minutes.
IV) Updates & Announcements
Jason Mulvihill -Kuntz (Jason M-K), WRIA 8 Salmon Recovery Manager, highlighted the following updates
Puget Sound regional update; Lake Washington Ship Canal roundtable to develop goals and solutions to
address elevated temperature and low dissolved oxygen; PUGET SOS bill to establish a Puget Sound
Recovery National Program Office in the Environmental Protection Agency to oversee allocation of $50M
annually for five years to advance recovery and implementation of priority actions; Increased pinniped
predation at Ballard Locks. WRIA 8 will remain in communication with WDFW and Muckleshoot Indian Tribe
to track and support efforts to address increase in pinniped predation at the Locks.
Updates Discussion:
• Mike Burger (Muckleshoot Indian Tribe) announced that a meeting is taking place to discuss possible
actions to address pinniped predation.
• Larry Franks (F.I.S.H) asked when will the viewing window be open at Ballard Locks. Katie McGillvray (Army
Corps of Engineers) stated that the window is currently open to the public, and she will keep the SRC
apprised of the celebration to mark its official opening.
• Jeff Jensen (UW Bothell) asked for more information on the sockeye and tagging methods on fish being
trapped and taken to the Cedar River. Mike Burger (Muckleshoot Indian Tribe) said that trapped sockeye
are not clipped, or wire tagged. They are otolith-marked at Cedar River Hatchery. He continued that there
are differences in run times and he will continue to monitor the runs.
V) King County Conservation Futures Tax (CFT)/ Park Levy (PL) Advisory Committee 2022 Funding
Recommendations — Terry Lavender, Chair, King County CFT/PL Advisory Committee
Chair, John Stokes introduced Terry Lavender to present the Conservation Futures Advisory Committee's 2022
funding recommendations related to WRIA 8. Terry noted that this is the third year that CFT has been
implementing the Land Conservation Initiative (LCI) in the form of a match waiver program to fund natural
infrastructure that targets the most under -served areas. The Advisory Committee received $52M in requests,
with 40% of the $45M recommended for funding containing a strong salmon recovery nexus. Terry provided
Packet Pg. 388
WRIA 8 Salmon Recovery Council (SRC) Meeting Notes
Zoom Video Conference II July 15, 2021 2:00 — 4:15p.m.
details on three CFT recommended restoration projects: Piper's Crest; East Fork Issaquah Creek; Middle Bear
and Cottage Lake Creeks which included highlights from King County Executive, Dow Constantine's visit to Bear
Creek in May. Terry concluded the presentation by providing an overview of a series of marine nearshore
projects, including an update on Frog Holler at Camp Sealth; Vashon-Neill Point/Morningside Farm and the
Vashon Island marine shoreline projects that total $4.8M.
Discussion:
Jason M-K said he appreciates the strong connection between WRIA 8 salmon recovery priorities and CFT
projects.
CM Vanessa Krizter (City of Redmond) was pleased to learn more about the Bear and Cottage Creek
investments.
VI) 2022 WRIA 8 Management Committee Recommended Budget and Work Plan —Jason Mulvihill -Kuntz
The WRIA 8 Management Committee (MC) met on June 7 to discuss two proposed ILA cost share budget
options. Proposed option A included increasing the ILA cost share by Consumer Price Index for Wages (CPI-W)
2.5%, which would increase the total WRIA 8 ILA cost share by—$16,138. Proposed option B does not include a
cost share increase in 2022. Jason M-K presented the Management Committee's recommendation to approve
option A - increasing the ILA cost share by 2.5% per the 2022 proposed budget and work plan and thanked the
Management Committee members for their time, engagement, and budget recommendation.
Discussion:
• Chair Stokes said he appreciates WRIA 8 staff's suggestion to idenitfy programs or projects to fund using
the $387,442 carry forward balance. He also noted the importance of the SRC supporting the cost share
increase, as it demonstrates confidence and approval of the organization and its goal.
• CM Vanessa Krizter (City of Redmond) agreed with proposed option A and the show of confidence to invest
more in this great work. CM Krizter asked when WRIA 8 staff would come back to the Council with
suggestions to spend the carry forward balance. Jason explained how this information will be provided over
the course of several SRC meetings in installments throughout this year and 2022.
• CM Adam Morgan (City of Mill Creek) asked for more details on the ILA cost share table to provide this
information to City of Mill Creek's Council. Jason M-K explained that the cost share formula is updated
every three years which calculates the population, assessed land value, and land area. Jason noted the cost
share table was provided as part of the meeting packet.
Action: The Salmon Recovery Council unanimously approved the 2022 budget and staff work plan as
proposed by the Management Committee.
VII) 2021 Salmon Recovery Funding Board Grant Round Funding Recommendations — Jason Wilkinson, WRIA 8
Projects and Funding Coordinator
Jason explained how the Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB) grant program funds habitat restoration,
protection, acquisition, and monitoring efforts. He gave details how the Washington State Recreation and
Conservation Office (RCO) administers the statewide program using federal and state dollars and noted that
State legislature increased funding for the SRFB program this year, which modestly increased WRIA 8's
allocated amount to—$435,000, which is the largest amount since 2010. He explained how the funding
recommendations are developed by the WRIA 8 Project Subcommittee, and this year the subcommittee
recommended to allocate the full balance of grant funding in support the City of Issaquah's Lower Issaquah
Creek Restoration project. The other two projects were lower priority and/or had some additional design
questions that needed to be addressed. One of the projects - Bear Creek Restoration at Friendly Village (Phase
3 design) — received some funding through WRIA 8's King County Flood Control District's (FCD) Cooperative
Watershed Management (CWM) grant round to help better refine the project scope and answer some critical
feasibility questions. Jason concluded by noting that although monitoring projects are eligible for SRFB funds,
WRIA 8 has made habitat restoration and land acquisition the priority focus of these grant funds.

WRIA 8 Salmon Recovery Council (SRC) Meeting Notes
Zoom Video Conference II July 15, 2021 2:00 — 4:15p.m.
Discussion:
CM Vanessa Kritzer (City of Redmond) explained that she hoped the project sponsor for the Bear Creek at
Friendly Village project could resolve the design/feasibility issues and understands the recommendation.
Jason Wilkinson stated that the project was awarded funds for some conceptual design tasks through a
CWM grant.
Chair Stokes asked if the SRC can consider applying carry forward funds to support the Bear Creek at
Friendly Village? Jason M-K replied that the project is at a stage where it could be considered to receive
some of those funds through a potential project development small grant round WRIA 8 staff are
considering, but allocations would need to be no more than $25K. Jason Wilkinson added that WRIA 8 can
work with project sponsors to develop a scope to fit within such a funding cap.
CM Ted Frantz (Town of Hunts Point) sought to clarify if there will be a larger pool of grant funds next year
with the addition of Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration (PSAR) funds. Jason Wilkinson stated that
WRIA 8 expects its full $1.4M allocation from PSAR next year. That amount is part of the recently passed
biennial budget and provides an opportunity to entertain larger projects.
Action: The Salmon Recovery Council unanimously approved the 2021 Salmon Recovery Funding Board
Recommendation as presented.
Vill) Salish Sea Marine Survival Project Findings — Michael Schmidt, Long Live the Kings
Michael reviewed the scope of the Salish Sea Marine Survival Project findings from 7+ years of data collection.
He provided the caveat that this work is still on -going, but he wanted to provide a snapshot of where Chinook,
coho, and steelhead juvenile survival rates currently stand. He noted there is a 10X decline in juvenile survival
rates since the studies began in the early 1980s. He then explained how declining trends through the 80s and
90s received no real rebound compared to coastal population. The Synthesis of Findings report documents the
juvenile survival issue by describing the multiple pathways of impacts to salmon, each factor's
interrelationships with other factors, and the results of comprehensive ecosystem modelling.
Discussion:
• Jason M-K expressed how interesting these findings are and was glad to see the data is being considered in
regional management considerations.
• CM Carl Scandella (Town of Yarrow Point) asked how the data could be used to support recovery of Puget
Sound salmon population, and if there was any insight on the mathematical techniques used to better
understand what is on the horizon to bolster the declining populations. Michael replied noting a caveat is
necessary to understand that a correlation today may not be relevant tomorrow. He continued to explain
how the ecosystem models are used to assess strategies in predicting patterns and outcomes. He reminded
the SRC that these processes are imperfect. Data sets are focused on salmon, but salmon interact with their
entire ecosystem and the data provided correlational work and the hope is that a broader spectrum of
aspects can be viewed and deemed helpful.
• CM Ted Frantz asked if their studies provided insight into whether seals could thrive from a modified diet to
reduce their predation on salmon. Michael answered that there are some signs of seals responding to other
fish coming into the ecosystem. However, seals are opportunistic feeders. He noted how there are some
thoughts to relocate seal populations rather than get them to eat something else.
• Chair Stokes commented that the data is interesting but with so many caveats there it's difficult to know
how to change the course of the decline of salmon. He asked if their data could provide more clarity to
inform management actions. Michael commented that recommendations are in place to push for more
diversity of salmon populations, reinforcing importance on estuary restoration, the need for additional
resolution on the Snohomish River to lower the level of contaminants at wastewater facilities. He added
they are currently developing implementation strategies for steelhead. So, Michael suggested, these data
sets do support actions; however, the recovery process takes time. Jason M-K noted that there are
Packet Pg. 390
WRIA 8 Salmon Recovery Council (SRC) Meeting Notes
Zoom Video Conference II July 15, 2021 2:00 — 4:15p.m.
discussions with watersheds and the Puget Sound region about how to use this information to inform
recovery actions.
• Corinne Helmer (Cedar River Council) asked if the timing for the release of hatchery fish could be adjusted
to reduce predation? Corinne also asked for additional insight on the audio deterrents for pinniped
predation, and if there were any other methods that could be helpful.
• David Bain (Sno-King Council) asked about how kelp and eel grass abundance and status of beach -spawning
forage fish populations affect salmon, and . Michael commented that more work was done with eelgrass
and kelp in the Strait of Georgia as opposed to Central Puget Sound. However, emerging findings indicate
that eelgrass is less of a concern from a habitat perspective, but kelp is a concern. But, the relationship
between kelp and salmon isn't well understood.
• CM Victoria Hunt (City of Issaquah) added that having specific actions and best practices related to the
project's findings would be very useful for local governments to consider in local codes and model
ordinances.
IX) "Mystery Nerka" in North Lake Washington Streams — Jeff Jensen, PhD, University of Washington Bothell
Mark Phillips introduced Dr. Jeff Jensen and thanked him for his work to reestablish kokanee populations and
establish a citizen salmon watcher program. Dr. Jensen began by providing an overview of his 2017 discovery
of a kokanee-like fish while following fall salmon runs in tributary streams to the Sammamish River. These
smaller fish found predominantly in Lake Washington and Sammamish and were originally thought to be
hybrids or from stock kokanee and sockeye introduced to the basin. Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife (WDFW) conducted some genetic work on these fish, which was compared to more than 60
populations of kokanee throughout the Northwest. The genetic data indicated these "mystery" fish were
genetically distinct, with a very limited spawning distribution. Jeff concluded by sharing next steps to further
document the origins of these fish, including continuing to comparing genetics of "mystery nerka" with native
kokanee; conducting otolith microchemistry; continuing North Lake Washington Salmon Watcher program.
The long-term goal is to re-establish native kokanee in previously occupied streams by stocking remote site
incubators in several streams beginning in 2023.
Ditrustinn-
• Whitney Neugebauer (Whale Scout) asked for a list of streams that would be the best fit for kokanee
reintroduction? Dr. Jensen stated that McAleer Creek and Lion Creek were highest on his list. Also, would
consider May Creek and Swamp Creek. Horse Creek in Bothell is also a possibility. She also asked about the
likelihood for kokanee to be listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Dr. Jensen explained that
there was an attempt to list Lake Sammamish kokanee under the ESA, but the attempt was ultimately
unsuccessful and is very challenging.
• Larry Reymann noted he was on site when a kokanee was documented in May Creek. He commented on
his interest in anglers that are catching kokanee on the south end of Lake Washington. He is interested in
whether kokanee could potentially use May Creek. Dr. Jensen stated he will get GPS coordinates of where
anglers are catching what fish. He encouraged Mr. Reymann or anyone to become a Salmon Watcher on
May Creek.
• CM Carl Scandella (Town of Yarrow Point) asked what Dr. Jensen hoped to learn from the high-level DNA
sequencing — trying to establish a family tree or evolutionary relationships? Dr. Jensen stated that species
levels is not as interesting biologically, but it is harder and harder to distinguish populations the further
you try to slit them. The genetic work allows a lot more sensitivity to recognize genetically distinct
populations and to establish that they are native to the basin.
• Jason M-K commented on management implications and how this work will be important to WRIA 8
recovery work.
IX) Next Meeting: Chair Stokes noted the next SRC meeting is September 16, 2021, 2:00 — 4:15 pm, via Zoom.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. McChesney read the following public comment (received via email from Eileen Kelliher) into the record:
'Ijust wanted to put in my two cents as you guide the upcoming project (which I am delighted that you are
doing). The wooden walkway has been a lovely surface to walk on for me and my aging body. It even was
super helpful post back surgery. I am hoping that the new material would similarly have a "give" to it and
not be hard concrete. The concept of glass blocks to get sunlight on the water is fabulous, but would not be
veryforgiving in terms of impact. Feel free to contact me if you have any comments. I love walking on the
waterfront; and even though I'm not in your taxing district, I would totally vote myself'in to support this vital
engine to Edmonds' economy and major, major source of charm. "

Joe Scordino, Edmonds, commended the Port staff for the great service they provide at the launcher. He
also reported that, under a Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) "Adopt -a -Highway"
restoration program, a group of volunteers has been working to remove invasive bittersweet nightshade and
blackberry along Highway 104. The plants had grown into the fence bordering the highway, blocking and
altering water flow into the Edmonds Marsh and preventing fish passage. The fence was removed, as well.
There have been nine events, with over 50 different volunteers. Shellebarger Creek now flows openly to the
culverts. On the other side of the marsh, the water is now pooling and moving into the marsh as it is supposed
to.
Commissioner Preston asked the likelihood of the nightshade growing back. Mr. Scordino acknowledged that it would
grow back and would have to be removed every year just to keep the areas where the water flows open. The hope is
that improved water flow and deeper water channels will eventually prevent its growth.
Commissioner Faires asked if anything could be done, short of manual labor, that would slow or stop the nightshades'
growth. Mr. Scordino explained that the plant grows as a vine and cannot be controlled with herbicides. All they can
do is try and control it in the areas where it is creating problems and hope that the native plants will prevent it from
taking over.
Charles Malmgren, Edmonds, inquired if the Port received the comments he submitted via email earlier in the day,
and Mr. McChesney answered no. Mr. Mulmgren said he is a sports fisherman and currently has a boat in the Port's
Dry Storage Facility. The rules and fees imposed on Dry Storage tenants have forced him to reevaluate his tenancy.
His costs have increased and his access to fishing has decreased. With no positive changes in sight and the prospect
of higher costs to come, he can afford, but cannot justify, year-round tenancy. He said he would tow his boat home
in September. Mr. Mulmgren voiced concern that the Dry Storage Facility is littered with pinch points, where tenants
and staff cannot socially distance. On his last visit on August 27`h, he was the only tenant wearing a face covering and
keeping a safe distance. He wished his best to the Port staff who work hard to make Dry Storage pleasant, safe and
convenient.
PRESENTATION BY JENNIFER LEACH — EDMONDS MARSH BUFFER RESTORATION PLAN
rn
Mr. McChesney introduced Jennifer Leach, Program Coordinator for the City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and
a�
Cultural Services Department, specializing in environmental education and outreach. He advised that she focuses on
managing the Beach Ranger Program and Puget Sound Bird Fest and coordinating stewardship activities in the City's 2
parks. She particularly enjoys mentoring her young staff and building community through volunteerism. She has an
M.S. degree in ecology from the University of Washington, with a focus on invasive species and restoration ecology. M
Prior to joining the City, she worked as an environmental consultant and a non-profit program manager. ao
Jennifer Leach, Program Coordinator, City of Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department,
explained that wetlands on the landscape are incredibly valuable and function to buffer natural areas (such as the
marsh) from adjacent inputs like trash and pollution. She provided pictures showing how many of the marsh's buffers
are very narrow and not well vegetated and pointed out that buffers trap pollutants, infiltrate water that carries toxins,
and provide valuable habitat for wildlife. She advised that wetland buffers are highly regulated and prescribed by
federal, state and local regulations. The Edmonds Marsh has a designated 110-foot buffer, and a wetland delineation
was done to identify the exact boundaries of the marsh and where the buffer area begins. She pointed out that most
of the buffer area on the east and north sides of the marsh is highly developed, without a lot of vegetation. The buffer
area on the south and west sides of the marsh is much more intact in terms of vegetative cover.
Ms. Leach explained that the property within the buffer area around the marsh is under multiple ownership (Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF), Unocal, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), and Port of
Edmonds), which makes it necessary to coordinate a broad, cohesive effort.
Ms. Leach noted that there are a lot of invasive species growing in the marsh, and there are three types of treatment:
■ Biological. Introducing another organism to feed on or otherwise impact a particular target invasive.
• Mechanical. Removing the invasive material by hand, cutting, mowing and digging out the roots.
■ Chemical. Using an herbicide or pesticide to kill the target invasive.

9.1.b
Ms. Leach shared past and current efforts to control the most common invasive species and restore the marsh and its
buffers:
• Purple loosestrife used to be a real problem throughout the marsh. About 15 years ago, a representative from
the Snohomish County Noxious Weed Control Board introduced a certain type of beetle into the marsh as a
biological control, and the number of purple loosestrife has declined as a result of the treatment.
• There are small pockets of Japanese knotweed in the marsh, and it is very difficult to control. Mechanical
control almost never works, and they are now using stem injections, which involves injecting an herbicide
into the plant so it goes down into its roots.
■ There are large rhizomes underground that are very difficult to get rid of by pulling. These are usually
chemically treated.
• Bittersweet nightshade is well established along the WSDOT corridor and some other parts of the marsh. If
mechanical control is used, it must be timed right and applied with a licensed applicator. Volunteers are
currently working to remove this species in certain areas to improve water flow.
• Volunteers are also working to remove a large blackberry patch between the Harbor Square Athletic Club
and Highway 104. The blackberry is well established, and the only way to get it out is via chemical
application or mechanical treatment.
• Thick blackberries used to be located on the northern side of the marsh, near the viewing platform. In 2015
Earthcorp removed them and other invasive species and planted a dense community of native vegetation that
has now grown to the point that very little maintenance is needed and there is now a dense barrier between
the marsh and the litter and pollution influx that comes from that path. The original intent was for Earthcorp
to work west from that point. However, the work had to stop until a wetland delineation and restoration plan
was in place as required by the City's Critical Areas Ordinance.
• Sound Salmon Solutions has been doing quite a bit of restoration in the southwest area of the marsh. They
also provide environmental education at the fish hatchery.
• A group of volunteers led by Joe Scordino has also been doing a lot of restoration work along the WSDOT
corridor.
Ms. Leach cautioned that it was important that the Marsh Restoration Plan was applicable to all areas of the marsh.
This allows volunteers to do restoration work within the marsh based on the recommendations and guidelines outlined
in the plan. It was also important that the plan was flexible enough to allow work to be done progressively as the
opportunities, number of volunteers and financial resources come available. The plan can be implemented by multiple N
groups over multiple years. c
Ms. Leach said the priority focus of the plan was on stormwater infiltration and enhancing wildlife habitat. It was
important to consider both the wildlife that uses the native plants in the marsh buffer and the animals in the marsh,
itself. In addition to providing audio and visual screening from the urban activities, it was also important to provide
viewing corridors through the buffer areas. The marsh is a favorite birding-watching destination, and it was important
that the plan specify that view corridors should be preserved.
Ms. Leach reviewed that the wetland delineation included all of the areas of the marsh that the City had access to,
which includes all of Port, WSDOT and City property. It did not include the Unocal property. During the field
investigation, the consultants made very detailed notes about the condition of the marsh buffer. Based on the
conditions they saw on the ground, the buffer was divided into five different areas. Each of the areas are described in
the Marsh Restoration Plan, as well as considerations and specific recommendations for planting and restoration. She
encouraged the Commissioners to read through the plan to learn more about the current conditions in each of the areas,
to gain a better understanding of the visions for restoration and for guidance on how to manage all of the invasive
species found in the marsh and its buffer.
Ms. Leach thanked the Port for being so cooperative and supportive throughout the process of developing the plan.
She also thanked the Port for being strong advocates for restoration and making it easy for allowing restoration work
to be done on Port property. She concluded that restoration of the marsh is very important to many in the community,
and a lot has already been accomplished by volunteers. She provided pictures to illustrate the types of work that is
being done by volunteer work parties, noting that there is a work party at some park in Edmonds almost every weekend,

and there are a lot of opportunities for new stewards. She invited interested individuals to contact her for more
information.
Commissioner Harris suggested the Port could help to educate the public about work party opportunities via social
media. Ms. Leach agreed that would be fantastic. She asked if the Port would be interested in promoting volunteerism
throughout the City, or if the Port is specifically interested in volunteer opportunities that have a nexus to the marsh
and the Port. Commissioner Harris answered that while the Port tries to promote across the City, her thought was
specifically directed towards work parties related to marsh restoration. Ms. Leach said she anticipates there will be
regular work parties now that the Marsh Restoration Plan is finished. However, the pandemic has made it more
difficult to organize the events, which require compliance with the City and State rules. Commissioner Harris said
she would contact Ms. Leach to share her ideas for highlighting marsh restoration events throughout the year. Ms.
Leach suggested that an article in the Port's newsletter regarding the Marsh Restoration Plan would be helpful and
could provide links to the Edmonds Stewards site, as well as other groups who organize work parties at the marsh.
Mr. Scordino noted that the volunteer work effort is limited under the Department of Fish and Wildlife's Hydraulics
Permit. Work in the wetland must conclude by September 15`n, which means there will only be three more work
parties this year.
Commissioner Preston asked when they will be able to move from marsh restoration to marsh maintenance. Ms.
Leach said she doesn't anticipate reaching that point for a long time. It takes a long time for a plant community to
become established. She shared an example of an area where invasive species were removed and native species were
planted in 2005. For the first three to five years, volunteers consistently weeded the area and replaced plants that had
died. When doing restorations in natural areas, about 50% of the plantings die. After five years, the native plants start
to spread and fill in the space. The eventual goal is for the plantings to become dense and established enough so that
very little maintenance is needed going forward. She cautioned that, when pulling invasive species, it is important to
be realistic about the ability to maintain the area once it is cleared and replanted.
Commissioner Faires asked if there are any plans in place for a specific effort relative to marsh restoration and
reclamation next spring or summer to follow up on what has been done so far. Ms. Leach said the City would continue
to work with Edmonds Stewards to restore the northern border of the marsh. They will also work with Sound Salmon
Solutions on restoration projects in the southwest border of the marsh. She will be meeting on site with the Edmonds N
a�
Stewards coordinator this week to talk about the next steps. Commissioner Faires suggested that, if the Port uses its
newsletter or mailer to advertise volunteer opportunities, they should clearly delineate what volunteers are needed for
and when. Ms. Leach responded that she could provide more specific information to the Port once the Edmonds 2
Stewards establish a schedule for their work parties going forward. Mr. Scordino added that his group has a 4-year N
agreement with WSDOT under the "Adopt -a -Highway" program, but the hydraulics permit only allows them to work M
in the wetland from June 15`n to September 15`n each year. They plan to start again in June of 2022. Commissioner ao
Faires suggested that Mr. Scordino communicate his group's 2022 plans to the Port so the events can be announced w
in the Port's various communications media.
Ms. Leach asked Mr. Scordino if anyone from WSDOT's noxious weed team has worked with him on the best way
to control nightshade. Mr. Scordino answered no. They have just given his group approval to do what they can. Ms.
Leach suggested that Mr. Scordino refer to the Marsh Restoration Plan, which includes several pages on techniques
for controlling nightshade.
HARBOR SQUARE PROPERTY HVAC REPLACEMENT CONTRACT NO.2021-375 AS COMPLETE
Mr. McChesney reviewed that the Commission was briefed on maintenance issues and the need to replace aging
HVAC units on a few buildings at Harbor Square. Twelve units were scheduled for replacement in the 2021 budget
and $120,000 was allocated. The project was put out to bid on March 191n for units on Buildings 2 and 5, and the
Commission directed staff to enter into a contract with the low bidder, DK Systems, Inc. for $156,050 on April 16`n
One unit was removed from the scope upon pre -construction inspection, and this lowered the final cost by $8,411.03.
The project was substantially completed on August 1311 and the final inspection was done on August 261n. Staff
worked with the contractor to minimize disruption to tenants during installation. He recommended the Commission
accept the contract with DK Systems, Inc. in the amount $147,638.97 plus sales tax for the Harbor Square Property
HVAC Replacement Contract 2021-375 as complete.

Commissioner Preston asked how many more HVAC units need to be replaced at Harbor Square, and Mr. McChesney
answered that there are just a few more to replace. He cautioned that the new HVAC units require a lot of maintenance,
and the replacement schedule for them is a lot faster than for the units that were placed on the buildings in the 1980s.

SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
2022 BUDGET— BASELINE CONDITIONS
Ms. Drennan announced that staff has started working on the 2022 Preliminary Budget. She reviewed that the
Commission approves the budget on an annual basis, and the budget is a plan that identifies resources for operations
and capital projects, communicates the sources of revenue and costs of services, and allows the Commission and staff
to review and prioritize repairs, improvements and other projects. She reminded them that the actual results may differ
from the budget due to changed facilities or equipment conditions, changed priorities and changed economic
environment. Facilities or equipment may break unexpectedly, and funds may need to be reallocated to pay for the
fixes.
Ms. Drennan recalled that the Port implemented the Cash Flow Schedule in 2012 as a method of determining moorage
and dry storage rates and planning for future large capital expenditures, such as replacing major marina structures.
The Cash Flow Model estimates future cash and investments based upon projected revenues and expenses and known
major capital improvements. The Cash Flow Model is the basis for the budget, and the Commission recommended a
moorage and dry storage rate increase of Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus 1 % in April 2013. The Finance Committee
recently reaffirmed that recommendation on August 1 Ith. CPI for All Urban Consumers, All Items in the Seattle -
Tacoma -Bellevue Area was 5.5% as of June 30, 2021. This calculates to a moorage and dry storage rate increase of
6.5%. This same CPI number is also used for Port revenue increases and staff wage increases.
Ms. Drennan observed that, as proposed, moorage rate increases range from about $15 per month for the smaller slips
to $90 per month for the larger slips. For Dry Storage, the average rate increases range from $16 to $24 per month. rn
a�
There is a 25% difference between peak and off-season rates for Dry Storage.
c
Commissioner Faires reminded the public and tenants that, while this increase may seem large relative to previous
years, it is important to keep in mind that CPI has been particularly low for the past several years. If the rate increases
over the past five years are averaged with the 2022 increases, the average increase would still be relatively low. CO
Commissioner Preston pointed out that, over the past 10 years, CPI has increased by 21.3% or an average of 2.13%
per year. If they add 1%, as has been the Port's policy, the average rate increase is 3.13%. The 10-year average rate
increase (including the proposed rate increase for 2022) is about 2.13%. He suggested that, rather than a 6.5% increase
in 2022, the Port could consider a rolling -average rate increase. He pointed out that the CPI increase was only 3.4%
in April and 1.7% in February. Commissioner Orvis cautioned that the rolling average didn't apply in previous years,
so the rate increases were lower. Given the reality of marina maintenance, the rate increases were significantly less
than the increases in maintenance costs. He noted that some marinas have deteriorated to the point that they cannot
survive because they have artificially held down rates rather than applying realistic rate increases over time. Based
on the Port's long-range program, the CPI plus 1 % program is less than the ideal amount needed to care for the marina,
and the Port has compensated by being very careful with costs and using its own work force rather than contractors.
In order to continue to maintain the marina, the Port will need to charge rates that will support the required maintenance
levels. He reminded them that the cost of replacing the breakwater is much higher than anticipated when the initial
long-range plan was done. Commissioner Johnston added that the marina and dry storage infrastructure is also aging
and requires more maintenance.
Commissioner Faires said he would support the proposed 6.5% rate increase. He observed that Port staff has done a
great job of underrunning expenses and overrunning revenue each year, and the intent is that this will continue to
improve. He agreed that the maintenance costs of an aging facility will increase. However, rather than predicating
the future on disaster, he wants to focus on continuous improvement. He expressed his belief that a yearly increase
of CPI plus 1 % would suffice until expenses no longer decrease and revenues no longer increase per budget.

2022 BUDGET — PROPERTY TAXES
Ms. Drennan advised that this item was placed on the agenda so the Commissioners could discuss property taxes and
provide guidance for the 2022 Budget. She reported that the Finance Committee met on August I I" and reviewed
the funding options for the Administration/Maintenance Building and the North Portwalk and Seawall Projects. To
pay for the public portion of the North Portwalk and Seawall Project, the Finance Committee recommends increasing
the property tax to the maximum of $600,000, which is a $200,000 increase.
Ms. Drennan reviewed that the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 53.36.020 limits the Port's property tax to $0.45
per thousand of property value, and Washington State Initiative 747, which was passed in 2001, caps the property tax
increase to 1% per year plus new construction. Since 2001, the Port has chosen to levy at less than the maximum
regular property tax levy and bank the difference between the two, which allows the Port to step up to the banked
amount at some point in the future.
Ms. Drennan advised that the 2021 Property Tax Levy is $400,000, and the Port's banked capacity is about $194,000.
Estimated new construction is about $1,200, which gives a maximum 2021 levy of about $594,938. Using an
estimated 1 % increase, the estimate 2022 maximum tax levy would be $600,887. If the Commission agrees, staffs
intent would be to increase the tax levy to the maximum.
Ms. Drennan referred to the Tax Levy History (Page 3), which shows the Port's taxable assessed value, actual tax levy
amount and actual tax levy rate (millage rate) from 1990 to projected 2022. The millage rate for 2021 was
approximately $.061. The 2022 property tax valuation is based on the Snohomish County Assessor's Office
preliminary values for 2022. If the 2022 tax levy is $600,000, the millage rate would be approximately $0.08.
Commissioner Faires said that, at this time, he does not support the increase in property taxes from $400,000 to
$600,000. He said he would like the staff and Finance Committee to show how the increased tax levy is justified. N
Commissioner Orvis said the Finance Committee is recommending that the additional $200,000 go into the Capital
Budget reserve because of the foreseeable cost of the North Portwalk and Breakwater Project. In years past, $200,000
of the tax levy was allocated to Harbor Square, which has now been paid off. Although the Port has significant U)
revenues on hand, the anticipated total cost for the North Portwalk and Breakwater Project, in addition to the
Administration/Maintenance Building, will exceed what is currently in reserves. Increasing the tax levy to $600,000
would allow the Port to allocate $400,000 into the capital reserve.
Next, Ms. Drennan referred to the three figures on Page 4 and advised that Figure 1 shows the Edmonds Port District
Assessed Value from 1990 to 2022. Figure 2 shows the Port of Edmonds Tax Levy Amount from 1990 to 2022, and
Figure 3 shows the Port of Edmonds Tax Levy Rate from 1990 to 2022. Page 5 outlines the proposed programs to be
supported by property taxes in 2022. As proposed, $50,000 would be allocated to the launcher, $400,000 to the North
Portwalk and Seawall Project, $140,000 to Commissioner costs, and $10,000 to public records requests tools and
training.
Ms. Drennan reviewed the graph on Page 6, which shows property taxes compared to CPI increases and 1 % increases
from 2013 to 2021, and. Page 7 shows the value of property taxes in 2008 dollars, and Page 8 shows a sample of what
a tax bill might look like for a Port District resident, specifically noting the estimated tax increase based on property
value. The figures on Pages 9 and 10 illustrate the total property tax history from 2016 to 2021 for $800,000, $1
million, and $1.4 million homes in the Port District, the Port property taxes for those same three homes, and the total
property taxes for an $800,000 home vs. the Port property taxes for that same home.
Commissioner Johnston said it is important to point out that the actual tax levy amount hasn't changed since 2008.
The Port has some large capital expenses coming up, and the proposed increase is a small price for tax payers to pay
to achieve what is proposed for their benefit.
Mr. McChesney reminded the Commissioners that the current budget discussions are intended for the Commission to
provide guidance to staff. Actual decisions won't be made until the budget is voted on by the Commissioners in late
October or early November. Commissioner Preston observed that 25 of the tax levy rates over the past 32 years were
higher than what the Finance Committee is proposing.

2022 BUDGET — ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM EXPENSE BUDGET
Ms. Drennan referred to the Economic Development and Tourism Expense spreadsheet, which shows the actual results
for 2017-2020, projected results for 2021 and the proposed budget for 2022. She noted that activity was reduced in
2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic and its associated restrictions. She reviewed that the spreadsheet shows the
different economic development and tourism expense items and where they are located in the budget and financial
statements. She reminded them that the Port participates in economic development and tourism through the Economic
Alliance of Snohomish County (EASC), Destination Port of Edmonds (DPE), Sea Jazz, the Edmonds Arts Festival
and the Edmonds Bird Fest. The Port also invites guests to the Port through advertising in publications and through
the Seattle Boat Show. The Port promotes tourism through participation in the Washington Tourism Alliance (WTA).
Ms. Drennan referred to the budget that was attached to the Staff Report, which was proposed by staff and reviewed
by the Finance Committee. However, since the Finance Committee's review, the Seattle Boat Show budget was
increased from $6,000 to $8,000 to fund updates to the backdrop/display. As proposed, a total of $57,900 would be
allocated as follows: $5,000 for the EASC membership, $5,000 for DPOE, $3,000 for Sea Jazz, $2,500 for the
Edmonds Arts Festival, $1,000 for Bird Fest, $5,000 for other economic development opportunities, $5,000 for
tourism and marketing, $5,000 for marina advertising, $3,000 for Port event advertising, $8,000 for Seattle Boat Show,
$4,000 for the leasehold tax from the boat show promotion, $4,000 for Family Day at the Port, $3,000 for a holiday
event at the marina, $200 for the scarecrow context, $200 for Canva Pro, $1,000 that is unallocated, $500 for WTA
membership, and $2,500 for promotional hosting.
Commissioner Orvis thanked Ms. Drennan for her preparation work on the budget. She has laid the information out
in a format that is simple for everyone to understand. It definitely makes the Commission's decision -making process
simpler and cleaner. The other Commissioner concurred.
CITY OF EDMONDS REPORT
Council Member Olson commented that the marsh restoration work parties have done great work. They will meet
again on September 2"d and September 9`h, and then wrap up their work for the year on September I 1 `h. It is physical �
and dirty work, but she finds it very fun. She encouraged others to participate.
c
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Mr. McChesney announced that the North Portwalk and Seawall Reconstruction Project is at 60% design, which is a
major milestone. Staff will be reviewing the documents over the next few weeks before submitting the Joint Aquatic
Resources Permit Application (DARPA) and Shoreline Substantial Development Permit application. The project is
currently on schedule, but they don't have any idea how long the JARPA process will take.
Mr. McChesney reported that the design work has been completed for the new Administration/Maintenance Building,
and building permit applications will be submitted to the City of Edmonds by mid -September. In the meantime, the
architect will be invited to provide an update to the staff and Commission pertaining to the Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) initiative and the potential of going from LEED Silver to LEED Gold certification.
Mr. McChesney announced that paving work at Harbor Square will start next week. The project will include 7,600
square feet of paving outside the Channel Marker space, as well as about 170 lineal feet of curb replacement. The job
should be completed in one or two days.
Commissioner Faires asked if information relative to the new Administration/Maintenance Building would be
available for the Commission's September 13`h meeting. Mr. McChesney said that is the goal, but nothing has been
scheduled yet. Commissioner Faires asked that the information be presented to the Commission prior to submitting
the JARPA and Shoreline Substantial Development Permit applications. Mr. McChesney agreed to make that happen.
Commissioner Johnston asked if the LEED consultant would be able to provide good information and guidance to
help the Port Commission and staff assess the project's progress and make the best decision about whether to pursue
LEED Gold or LEED Silver certification. Mr. McChesney said that is the point of the mid -point review with the

architect and LEED consultant. Commissioner Johnston asked if staff has any information, at this point, that would
suggest that LEED Gold certification would be more difficult to achieve. Mr. McChesney answered that he doesn't
have that information yet. Commissioner Johnston cautioned that, based on a recent news article in THE SEA TTLE
TIMES, solar panels will be much more difficult and/or costly to obtain. Mr. McChesney said the project is moving
forward as if the solar panels will be available at some cost, but they won't know what that cost will be until the
specifications are finalized and the project goes out to bid. The roof system will be designed to carry that load if and
when the solar panels become available.
COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS AND COMMITTEE REPORTS
Commissioner Faires reported on his attendance at the last Edmonds Economic Development Commission (EDC)
meeting. The meeting that was held to investigate waterfront opportunities was discussed at length, specifically the
potential of having tour boats stop in Edmonds. The City's Economic Development Director has contacted a few tour
boat operators, and there appears to be some interest in pursuing these opportunities. There was also considerable
discussion about the Parking and Shuttle Committee's work, and it was reported that because 2020 and 2021 are not
good years to use as baselines, they will wait until 2022 to conduct the parking needs survey. A preliminary study
was done on a potential parking garage in downtown Edmonds, and it was found to not be particularly viable.
Commissioner Harris referenced an article in THE EDMONDS BEACON about cruise ships that contained a lot of
misinformation. She cautioned that they need to be careful about how the discussions are being framed in order to
avoid misinformation and commentary that is not based on fact.
Commissioner Orvis reported that he participated in the Washington Public Port Association's (WPPAs) roundtable
discussion on grant funding. There is a lot of grant money available, and the Port should be looking for potential
opportunities, particularly as it pursues the larger projects that are being planned.
Commissioner Orvis commented to Port Attorney Cattle that Jordan Stephens from the Anderson Hunter Law Group N
made an excellent presentation on "employment law" at the Economic Alliance of Snohomish County's (EASCs)
Coffee Chat. Commissioner Johnston agreed that her presentation was well done. Commissioner Orvis noted that 0
people have asked her to repeat and even expand her presentation. Commissioner Preston added that Ms. Stephens' U)
presentation received rave reviews, and it is likely she will be invited to provide ongoing training relative to
employment law. He suggested it would be helpful for the Port Commission to receive refresher training on the Open
Public Meetings Act. 2
Commissioner Orvis announced that the WPPA's Legislative Committee will meet on September 2151 and October
25`h to prepare for the upcoming legislative session. The meetings will be held in the conference room at the Port of
Kalama and will be available on line, as well as in person.
Commissioner Orvis advised that House Bill 1091 required the Department of Ecology (DOE) to convene a
stakeholder meeting to discuss improvements to the Environmental Policy Act, but the meeting was never held. This
is a WPPA priority, and they are looking for people to sit on the stakeholders committee as WPPA representatives.
Commissioner Orvis reported that the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Army Corps of Engineers
are still in disagreement and no permits are being issued for projects. The NMFS is supposed to be processing a batch
of biological opinions, but the Corps controls the permits. Representatives Kilmer and Beutler have put out a
bipartisan letter to the Biden Administration, asking them to give some attention to the matter. Neither agency has
any accountability for what happens and permit approval could be held up for years. He suggested that the Port should
work with the WPPA as soon as possible to prepare a letter to Senators Cantwell and Murray, as well as the state
representatives, stressing how important it is that this issue get resolved.
Commissioner Johnston reported that he attended the August 11 `h Finance Committee meeting, as well as the 60%
design meeting for the North Portwalk and Seawall Reconstruction Project on August 13`h. He also attended the
WPPA Grant preparation meeting, where it was reported that there is a lot of money available. Unfortunately, the
presentation focused on money that probably won't be widely available to ports. The focus was more on communities
and big transportation projects.

Commissioner Johnston reported that he and Commissioner Harris attended the EASC's Summer Social on August
26' at the Echo Falls Golf Course. It was fun, and they were able to make connections with an outfit that is providing
interpretive signage for the Port of Everett. This might be another option as they get closer to the finishing details on
the North Portwalk Project. Lastly, he announced that he would attend the WPPA's Environmental Committee
meeting on September 171n
Commissioner Preston referred to the EDC's parking survey, which was referenced earlier by Commissioner Faires.
He commented that a survey should be a scientific data processing system, and the City's recent "surveys" have been
more like questionnaires. He suggested the City should make this distinction clear. With the questionnaire format,
the same person could enter data 25 times, swaying the information without the City knowing that.
Commissioner Preston said he attended the Taste of Edmonds, as well as the Patron's Party at the Edmonds Arts
Festival. The car show is coming up on September 12cn
Commissioners Preston commented that the WPPA's Covid 19 meeting was insightful with a lot of different
perspectives. He reported that he also attended the Downtown Edmonds Merchant's Association (DEMA) meeting
on August 12' where it was reported that the City might start charging for the service of collecting dues for the
Edmonds Downtown Alliance (ED). It was also reported that there is S 11 million of rescue money to be allocated n
grants over the next four years. It was brought up that this funding could possibly help with trolley purchase.
Commissioner Preston said he received a call from a police officer friend who used to be on the dive team, asking if
the Port had any concerns about potential future incidents after the airplane went down near the marina. He responded
that the Port didn't have any concerns going forward, as the plane went down outside of the breakwater. He noted
that Police Chief Bennett has indicated an interest in reinstituting the dive team, but equipment upgrades will be
needed.
Commissioner Orvis said he has heard that some ports and public agencies are having problems with hybrid meetings
(in -person and Zoom), and the Port needs to make sure that all required procedures are being followed. The real
challenge has been providing opportunities for the public to speak. While the Port has done well, other agencies are O
struggling.
Port Attorney Cattle agreed with Commissioner Preston that an Open Public Meetings Act primer is an excellent idea.
Ms. Stephens is very knowledgeable and could provide this training at a future meeting. He said he, Mr. McChesney,
Ms. Drennan, Ms. Michaud and Commissioner Harris are focused on making sure that the hybrid meetings are being N
operated correctly. CO
Commissioner Harris reported that she was asked to participate on the City's 2022 Parks, Recreation and Open Space
(PROS) Plan Committee. An update to the plan is currently in progress. She wasn't able to attend the group session,
and the City's consultant has agreed to have a one-on-one conversation with her. In an effort to present the
Commission's collective feedback, she asked that the Commissioners share their thoughts on a list of questions that
were presented at the group session. She said she would forward the list of questions to Mr. McChesney to disseminate
to the Commissioners.

• Diane Buckshnis MOTIONED to approve the May 27, 2021 SRC meeting summary as presented. Bill
Blake SECONDED the motion and the SRC members in attendance APPROVED the meeting
summary.
CHAIR'S REPORT
• David Troutt discussed the contradictory signals we often get from the ecosystem — we haven't had
rain here for over a month, but are hearing from our partners on the Coast that they have fishable
numbers of sockeye in Lake Quinault for the first time in years, and the Bristol Bay sockeye run this
year is one of the largest on record. And we've also heard that our Southern Residents are back,
feeding, and frolicking in the San Juans. We have a lot of work to do, but it's nice to see good things
like these happening too as we go along.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
• Amber Moore provided an update on staffing —the Partnership is currently recruiting for two
Ecosystem Recovery Coordinator positions, and interviewing for an Environmental Planner to
replace Don Gourlie, who will be assuming the position of Legislative Policy Director when Jeff
Parsons retires in September.
• The Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework was just released, and the Senate is currently debating it.
• Additional budget proposals/numbers are currently coming in and updates will be provided. While
there's a long way to go before appropriations are final, there are some really promising numbers in
there that would represent significant increases to investments in Puget Sound. SRC members

expressed appreciation to our federal delegation, for listening to our needs and championing critical
funding for PCSRF, the Puget Sound Geographic Program, and many others.
PSAR POLICY MANUAL
• Kit Crump MOTIONED to approve the PSAR Policy Manual as written. Ron Shultz SECONDED the
motion and the SRC members in attendance APPROVED the motion with no opposition or
abstentions.
2022_2026 ACTION AGENDA UPDATE Briefing Memo, Presentation
Presenters: Dan Stonington, Don Gourlie and Kaitlin Harris, PSP
Highlights:
• The Planning Team discussed how the regional chapter update and Action Agenda update strategies
are coordinated and connected and explained the process to simplify strategies from 150 to 26.
• Additional details from the presentation including the strategy development process and proposed
content for phase 4 can be found in the attached presentation.
Discussion:
• Council members asked about the process for course corrections, and accountability for not hitting
targets. The Planning Team explained that we are working to build out our accountability functions
in coming years, including through forums with our Leadership Council and other avenues.
• Some members are interested in a conversation on how to align local forest practices work with
Action Agenda content development. The Planning Team welcomes this coordination and wants to
incorporate local recommendations into regional strategies. Brynn Brady offered to convene the
Coastal Counties Caucus to assist with this conversation.
• Thanks to Partnership staff for truly responding to public comments and shifting content in response
to them!
Decision/Next Steps:
• The Partnership's Planning Team will engage the SRC and other boards in development of actions
and policy recommendations that help implement the 2022-26 Action Agenda's strategies, once the
Leadership Council approves them on September 1.
REGIONAL CHAPTER UPDATE Briefing Memo, Presentation
Presenters: Amber Moore, PSP
Highlights:
• This is a continuation of the presentations on draft strategies in the Regional Chapter Update. Today
the focus is water quality.
• Amber provided a brief presentation on the water quality strategies, then SRC members and
attendees were divided into breakout groups to elicit more engagement and feedback on strategies.
Discussion:
• Breakout group facilitators shared highlights of their discussions.
• Notes from breakout groups can be viewed here.
Decision/Next Steps:

• Partnership staff and the Regional Chapter Update Advisory Group will take the SRC's feedback into
account when finalizing the water quality strategies and actions, and Amber will present draft
marine survival strategies and actions for feedback from the SRC in September.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Briefing Memo
Presenters: Jay Manning, Leadership Council
Highlights:
• Jay Manning provided an update on initial plans for salmon -related budget and policy priorities in
the upcoming legislative session.
• Jay noted that the Legislature has been focused on climate in recent years, but now that carbon -
focused policies have passed, there is a potential opening to focus on salmon.
• The evolution of Project Olga was briefly explained. It began a few years ago by bringing together
representatives of tribes, advocacy groups, and state and federal agencies to develop legislative
priorities and strategy.
• The Governor asked his staff to develop a statewide salmon recovery package this year, and we
need to get input to this process by early September regarding budget and legislative proposals.
• The hope is to develop an aggressive game changing package for the next few years, such as a
dedicated funding source for Puget Sound and salmon recovery.
• We need to be strategic about things we can get done in the Legislature, with clear, concrete
proposals.
Discussion:
• Members discussed investigating public private partnerships, as there is a lot of potential money in
that realm.
• There is an interest in future GMA updates to include requirements for considering salmon issues.
Though the Net Ecological Gain bill did not pass, some members would like to see it again in the
2022 session. Others noted significant improvements needing to be made in future iterations of
legislation related to Net Ecological Gain.
• "Bold Actions" should be used when considering priorities to recommend for a statewide salmon
package.
• We need to ensure we have capacity and prioritize what we need to get done. We should consider
options and projects that have multiple benefits (e.g. shovel ready, feasibility, etc.)
• HB 1382, which passed this session, allows an expedited state permit review process for fish
recovery projects. There's still work to do with the feds on expediting fed permitting processes.
• The SRC and development community need to address the cost of what has been lost. We need to
make space for innovative programs, and tackle issues on private lands too (not just public). What
are some ideas for incentives for developers? —we need to think about this, as the development
community could offer ideas for innovative approaches.
• Council members discussed the recent Heat Dome. They noted and discussed the increased water
temperatures and changing temperature regimes. They also noted potential mitigation such as
riparian policy to address shade, and increased stream flows.
Next Steps:

Page S of 8
• Members expressed support for a strategic conversation on priorities and concepts to pursue for
2022 and beyond legislative sessions.
o Interested members should contact Amber Moore. Bill Blake will assist with next steps.
• Bill provided a reminder that the Partnership is limited in what they can do in terms of lobbying,
meaning that SRC members need to take initiative if they want to see action in this realm.
FISH PASSAGE IMPROVEMENTS ALONG THE RAILROAD Briefing Memo, Presentation
Presenters: Paul Schlenger, ESA; Todd Zackey, Tulalip Tribes; Jennifer Griffiths, WDFW
Highlights:
• The project currently underway restores habitat at stream mouths impacted by the railroad and is
funded through the Habitat SIL-Near Term Actions (NTA).
• Details on the project process from convening an advisory group and data collection, to developing
and applying a prioritization framework and restoration planning are included in the attached
presentation and memo.
• One noteworthy success of this project so far is the participation of BNSF. Paul presented on how
the project team secured BNSF's participation.
• One of the most prominent single stressors to the Puget Sound shoreline is the railroad. The railroad
runs along the shoreline for fifty-two miles with an additional 21 miles of line within 200 feet of the
shoreline.
• Presenters noted that BNSF has been a great partner so far. BNSF is willing to work with project
teams, but they have expectations and care about public perception.
• Phase 2 of the project will include several deliverables including programmatic restoration guidance
for stream crossings along railroads.
Discussion:
• Members discussed the importance of restoring critical habitats and impacts on Chinook recovery
• During a recent tour of a WRIA 8 project, Senator Cantwell noted the importance of keeping key
legislators who can help with funding engaged, at the table and involved.
• Council members recognized the need for private/public partnerships.
WDFW DUCKABUSH RESTORATION PROPOSAL Briefing Memo, Presentation
Presenters: Theresa Mitchell and Seth Ballhorn, WDFW
Highlights:
• Theresa reviewed the history of the Puget Sound Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project
(PSNERP) program, the funding model/pathway and the SRC's role in the program.
• The subject of this presentation, Duckabush restoration project, is currently in the preconstruction
design and engineering phase. Additional details can be found in the linked presentation.
• They are currently in the design phase and expect it to take one more year to complete this phase.
Design phase funding is fully in hand. The subsequent construction phase will be a 3-year process.
• Presenters provided details on the State capitol request and noted that most of the cost is for the
highway. US 101 must be relocated before the old highway can be removed. For this phase, funding
must be in hand before the relocation contract can move forward.

Meeting Summary, July 29, 2021
Page 6of8
• Three estuarine sites received Congressional authorization in 2016: Duckabush, North Fork Skagit,
and Nooksack, although federal authorization does not imply a project is ready for advancement.
Discussion:
• Council members discussed water treatment options and presenters noted the new design will meet
modern standards. The current design does not include any water treatment or bioswales.
• It was pointed out that this is possibly the largest one-time influx of funds Puget Sound has received
for salmon recovery. The Duckabush connection to Puget Sound Chinook recovery is huge.
• A letter of support from the Council to the Legislature was suggested.
Next Steps:
• Chair David Troutt asked Theresa and Scott (the presenters) to draft a letter for the SRC to review
and consider sending in support of the project.
• David also noted the good timing for a strong statement from the SRC, in context of increasing
federal support and the maintenance of strong state -level support for salmon recovery.
POINT NO POINT ESTUARY RESTORATION—POC DESIGNATION Presentation
Presenters: West Sound Partners Lead Entity
Highlights:
• The purpose of this presentation was to gain SRC support for the project. The project was
designated as a "Project of Concern" by the SRFB technical review panel. West Sound Partners Lead
Entity took this opportunity to brief the Council on the situation and request a letter of support for
the appeal process.
• Sarah Heerhartz explained the goals and objective of the proposed project, including potential
ecological benefits and its cultural significance. Specifically, the project aims to restore 32 acres of
coastal marsh near a Kitsap County park at Point No Point.
• Tom Ostrom noted that the "project of concern" comment focuses on the question of community
support for the project. Sarah pointed out that the project has support from Kitsap County, and all
landowners involved.
Discussion:
• Members asked for clarification on details such as funding and funders, and landowner concerns.
• General support for the project was expressed.
Decision:
• Council members agreed to a recommendation that the SRC support West Sound Partners Lead
Entity in their appeal. The Executive Committee will draft a letter on behalf of the SRC.
• David Troutt suggested the SRC testify, providing both a letter and in person support for the project
2023-2025 PSAR LARGE CAPITAL PROJECT PRIORITIZATION Briefing Memo, Presentation
Presenters: David Troutt, Chair and Carrie Byron, PSP
Highlights:
• This is a continuation of ongoing SRC discussions on piloting a more focused approach to PSAR
funding.
Packet Pg. 406
9.1.c
Salmon Recovery Council
Meeting Summary, July 29, 2021
Page 7 of 8
• The SRC is asked to provide as much specific feedback (and consensus, if possible) about
prioritization in order to inform the drafting on the PSAR Large Cap Request for Proposals (RFP),
which will be presented to the SRC in September and voted on in November.
• The Executive Committee recommendation is to focus on populations at highest risk, and
populations closest to attaining recovery goals —or "bookends" of a salmon recovery trajectory.
Discussion:
• Members discussed the purpose of PSAR funding, and to what extent it should focus on Chinook or
all Puget Sound Salmon, including Hood Canal summer chum.
• Hood Canal summer chum is the one species that we, as the Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Region,
are not responsible for. Some SRC members noted that it's nonetheless important to message that
we support the recovery of all salmon species.
• Several members discussed Item B (the proposal to focus on population(s) at the highest risk of
extinction, and/or watersheds where population status is limiting harvest), and noted the following:
o Summer chum population status is constraining to tribal fisheries.
o Need to make sure we are talking with co -managers and federal regulators on the status of
populations and that we're working from an accurate list, supported by science.
o Concerns about uncertainty of success resulting from putting money into smaller
populations were expressed.
o We should consider our long-term priorities, and projects that meet multiple priorities or
provide the most benefits for the most fish.
o We need to get more groups such as recreational fisheries involved, and this sort of focus
could help us with those efforts.
o Focusing on a population(s) closest to recovery could provide us with a notable success,
namely a delisted salmon population.
• Some members also expressed support for option A— since a focus on habitat priorities could
benefit multiple populations — and suggested that differing point levels could be awarded to each of
several options.
• Members also expressed strong support for priority populations to be utilized as a scoring criterion,
rather than an eligibility criterion.
Summary/Next Steps:
• Most of the Council conversation was about option B. Some support was expressed for option C,
and less for option A.
• Carrie will prioritize writing the draft RFP around option B, but with consideration of projects that
have the most benefits to the most populations.
• The X-Boards Diversity/Equity/Inclusion group could assist with some of the multi -benefits criteria
• Carrie will bring a draft RFP package for SRC review in September, with a final vote taking place in
November.
"MEGA -PROJECT" LIST DEVELOPMENT Briefing Memo, Presentation

Meeting Summary, July 29, 2021
Page 8 of 8
• Ahren explained that this is topic is follow-up from the March retreat when SRC members proposed
the idea of creating and advocating for a "mega projects" list.
• Ahren presented a list of initial questions or things to think about over the course of this discussion.
This list can be found in the attached memo and presentation.
• Council members were invited to comment on vetting criteria for the list of projects and on a
funding strategy for those projects.
• Carrie presented a draft list of the currently proposed projects; please see the attached memo or
presentation for more details.
Discussion:
• Council members discussed the proposed list and criteria. Some highlights of the discussion are
listed below.
• The economic implication of failure is not addressed. The Ballard Locks are an example, as they are
very important from an economic standpoint and their failure would be catastrophic.
• How many salmon do we expect from each project? This should feature prominently in the criteria
• We should have a team to look at projects and develop lists for potential funders. Overall, this
should be a portfolio of projects ready to go.
Next Steps:
• Members proposed that we create a subcommittee to work on technical language and marketing
• Ultimately, this subcommittee could create draft criteria and finalize a project list for full SRC
consideration. Volunteers include: Jay Krienitz, David Troutt, Richard Brocksmith, Chris Ellings, Kit
Crump, Chance Berthiaume.
