Mr. English provided a summary of the work completed under the relocation of private electrical services on Main St. for the Main St. Improvement project between 5th and 6th Avenues. ACTION: Moved to Consent Agenda for approval. C. Presentation from staff regarding Council communication of City plans to the PSRC and other relevant agencies. City Council asked questions about perceived discrepancies in the PSRC 2040 Transportation Plan as it relates to Edmonds Crossing. City staff responded that Page 56 contains a broad overview about ferry terminals and what they might cost while Page 80 references the term un- programmed which means that the project has not been included in the 2040 Transportation Plan financial strategy. This is, however, $26M budgeted which assumes a bare bones maintenance and preservation budget. The long term needs related to Edmonds Crossing and existing terminal needs to be clarified with WSDOT and Washington State Ferries. PSRC wants to hear from the City and WSDOT/WSF what these agencies think is going to happen in the future and they will be talking to agencies in January, 2013. Questions were asked about the PSRC Board and how people are appointed or chosen to serve on the board. City staff stated they would need to look into this issue.
