6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, recalled the Edmonds Cemetery at 15th Street SW & 100`h Avenue W was
vandalized 10 years ago on Halloween. He feared that could happen again and suggested staff be present
on Halloween. Next, he thanked the sponsors of the car show, noting some businesses were unable to
sponsor due to numerous other donation requests they have received.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented on the Mayor's veto of the ordinance the Council passed last
week repealing Interim Ordinance No. 3935. He questioned the definition of impervious, relaying many
surfaces such as gravel, dirt, etc. are considered impervious as well as cement and asphalt. His
understanding of impervious was a surface through which liquid could not pass; for example a roof. It
was his understanding that an impervious surface required water retention. He was uncertain whether the
City was using the correct formula to determine appropriate water retention for impervious surfaces. He
suggested impervious be clearly defined.
Donna Breske, Snohomish, explained she has been trying for six years to get a building permit to
construct a house on property located at 9330 218`h Place SW. She referred to a City review letter dated
July 22, 2013 in which staff concluded as a condition of acquiring a building permit for her lot, the City
has a right to have her lot as the stormwater repository for the stormwater runoff for the surrounding City
streets. Per the letter, the City concludes that a previous Hearing Examiner determination which was not
overturned was somehow still binding. The previous Hearing Examiner determination occurred in August
2008 and was related to a previous application for this lot; the binding effect of that decision expired
when the City updated the drainage code. She asserted the City can no longer use the previous decision as
a basis for their conclusion. When she spoke to the Council three weeks ago, Public Works Director Phil
Williams stated four staff members agreed with the information in the letter and that they relied on a
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
August 27, 2013

Packet Page 5 of 346
previous court decision. She explained the previous court decision is affirmation of the 2008 Hearing
Examiner decision which states the appellants did not satisfy their burden of proof by successfully
showing that the administrative determination of Edmonds Community Development Code 18.30.060 by
City staff was erroneous. The Hearing Examiner concluded the City had the right to have her lot be the
stormwater repository based on a previous code. She requested her current permit application be reviewed
per the current City code and that any conclusions be based on the current code, not a previous decision
that utilized the previous code.
7. COMMUNITY SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT - YELLOW DOG PROJECT
Councilmember Buckshnis explained in 2005 four women formed the non-profit organization Off Leash \
Area Edmonds (OLAE) and received 501(c)3 tax exempt status in 2006. The dog park is maintained by
numerous volunteers and has over 200 financial donors and members.
Shay Hastler, OLAE, Vice President, and Assistant Scout Master Troop 312, provided OLAE's
mission, to steward the park in cooperation with the City of Edmonds Parks & Recreation Department,
educate park users on becoming responsible users and promote off -leash dog recreation and usage. Their
secondary mission is fundraising that will be directed to sustain daily park maintenance and provide funds
for future projects such as the seventh Eagle Scout project that will be done next year. She introduced her
son, Kyle Hastler, a Star Scout, about to move to Life Scout which is one merit badge away from an
Eagle Scout. Next year's Eagle Scout project will build on the very popular agility course.
Judy Bailey, OLAE, President, explained the Yellow Dog Project is a global initiative to educate the
public. She explained a yellow ribbon is placed on a dog's leash, identifying a dog that, for a variety of
reasons, needs a 6+ foot space between them and people or animals. She assured a Yellow Dog is not a
waiver of the owner's responsibility to train, not an excuse for the owner to avoid proper training, not an
owner's admission of guilt or confession that their dog is a handful; it is a dog that needs to continue to
experience the world safely. Yellow ribbons will be available at several locations in Edmonds on
Saturday, August 31 or dog owners can contact OLEA at o.l.a.e@comcast.net.
Ms. Bailey further explained the Edmonds Police Department is seeking a new K9 dog. On behalf of
OLAE, she presented Police Foundation President David Jones a check for $2,000 toward the purchase of
a new K9. She thanked the Mayor and Council for allowing them to make this presentation and for their
support of the off -leash dog area. She also thanked the Edmonds Parks & Recreation Department, with
special thanks to Parks Maintenance Manager Rich Lindsay.
8. PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING SEPTEMBER 8, 2013 HARBOR SEAL DAY IN EDMONDS
Mayor Earling read a proclamation designating September 8, 2013 as Harbor Seal Day in Edmonds. He
presented the proclamation to Susan Morrow, Edmonds Seal Sitters. Ms. Morrow recognized several
Edmonds Seal Sitters in the audience and thanked them for their work. She commented harbor seals are
part of a much larger resource, marine mammals in the Puget Sound; Edmonds Seal Sitters' goal is to
protect this resource for all to enjoy. She invited the public to demonstrations and children's games on the
beach on September 8.
12. PUBLIC HEARING FOR APPROVAL OF FIVE CORNERS ROUNDABOUT PUBLIC ART
SELECTION
Mayor Earling explained this is a public hearing regarding the Five Corners roundabout public art, not the
roundabout.

Cultural Services Manager Frances Chapin explained when capital construction projects are initiated by
the City, there is sometimes an opportunity to include artwork in the project. The Five Corners
roundabout project presented an opportunity for public art. Although the roundabout is a Public Works
project, facilitation of the public art process for a site falls under the purview of the Edmonds Arts
Commission and the Parks & Recreation and Cultural Services Department. Funding for public art comes
from the City's 1% for Art program, established by ordinance in 1975. This public hearing is on the
selection of artwork for the Five Corners site which the Arts Commission has recommended to the City
Council for approval.
The public art process defined by the City includes the following steps:
• Arts Commission recommends that public art be part of a project and prepares a Call for Artists
with a recommended budget, $25,000 in this case.
• Call for Artists is reviewed and approved by City Council
• Call for Artists is advertised
Selection committee is formed that by ordinance includes representatives from the City Council,
Arts Commission, the community, the engineering division if the project pertains to
transportation, and an outside arts professional
o Councilmember Johnson — City Council
o Marni Muir — Arts Commission
o Billie Swengel — College Place Optical
o JoAnne Zulauf — Engineering
o Mary Pat Bern — Arts professional
Ms. Chapin explained 22 northwest artists responded to the Call for Artists. The selection committee
reviewed all submissions and selected three artists to develop site specific proposal concepts. The three
proposals were presented at an advertised meeting of the selection committee on July 25, 2013. Twelve
members of the public attended and opportunity was provided for verbal and written comments to the
committee. A majority of the comments were in favor of the proposal provided by Chris Rench.
Following the presentations, the selection committee met to review the presentations and public
comments and selected the proposal by Chris Rench to forward to the Edmonds Arts Commission. At
their August 5 meeting, the Edmonds Art Commission recommended the Rench proposal be forwarded to
City Council for a public hearing and final approval.
Ms. Chapin reviewed the criteria included in the RFQ approved by Council: provide greater visual
identity, a distinctive sense of place and a unique signature for the Five Corners neighborhood. Edmonds'
reputation as a vibrant arts community is anchored in the downtown and adjoining waterfront where
artworks by prominent artists are featured in the public art collection. The Five Corners project presented
an opportunity to provide a visual gateway to the downtown, leading from the more urban area on
Highway 99. Artists were asked to address the following:
• Create a visual gateway
• Connect Five Corners and the downtown
• Provide appropriate scale
• Vertical height and visual impact
• Hold its own from a distance
• Coordinate with the landscape design including Corten steel spirals to hold plantings
• Reflect the spirit and values of the neighborhood
• Nighttime illumination
• Minimal maintenance
• Resistance to vandalism
• Safety

In reviewing the Call for Artists, the engineering consultants emphasized the importance of height in the
circle to discourage motorists from looking at the traffic on the opposite of the circle. This provides better
safety and traffic flow. Pedestrians do not have access to the center.
Ms. Chapin introduced Chris Rench, a professional artist from Hood River, Oregon, who designs and
fabricates primarily large scale, abstract sculptures. His work, primarily in stainless steel and mild steel is
diverse, ranging from small hand -painted sculptures to monumental public installations. He has worked
with public art programs and numerous community committees and has created 20 large scale public art
sculptures across the country in addition to work for individuals and developers. In reviewing his past
work and his proposal, the selection committee was confident he had the professional background in both
design and fabrication combined with skills in working with the community as part of the public art
process. The committee was impressed by his thoughtfulness in creating a design that reflects Edmonds
while meeting the stated criteria with regard to scale, creating a gateway connecting Five Corners to
downtown, working with materials and design to minimize maintenance and providing nighttime
illumination.
Mr. Rench displayed a model of his proposed sculpture, Drawn to the Water - Connected by Community.
When viewing the site, he realized Edmonds' connection to the forest, streams and waterfront. The design
symbolizes four trees surrounding a stainless steel column that is textured and lit with blue glass to
represent the water. The piece is proposed to be 13 feet, big enough to create the visual, iconic impact but
not oversized for the space. The 13 foot height is approximately the level of the existing wires at the
intersection. The five columns were also chosen to symbolize Five Corners as well as tree and water
aspects. He noted the tops of the columns are illuminated; the four surrounding columns are white clear
glass and the center column is blue glass. He also suggested the piece be illuminated from the outside.
Mr. Rench explained the materials, stainless steel and mild steel, were chosen for specific reasons. The
mild steel was chosen because it will rust and weather and change color throughout the year. The textured
stainless steel center piece, symbolizing water, will not rust. The piece reflects the spirit of Edmonds,
connecting the water, forest and streams and reflecting downtown and the waterfront. He displayed a
drawing of the sculpture imposed on the roundabout, noting the rusted mild steel also coordinates with the
circular Corten steel in the landscaping.
Mr. Rench summarized the sculpture met all the criteria of the RFQ including providing a visual gateway,
the scale, the spirit of Edmonds and its tie to the waterfront, and being as maintenance free as possible.
Mayor Earling advised an email was provided by Billie Swengel, a member of the selection committee,
expressing her support for the proposal. Mayor Earling opened the public participation portion of the
public hearing.
Joanne Otness, Edmonds Arts Commission, spoke in favor of the Council's approval of the proposed
sculpture as public art for the Five Corners project. Although not a member of the selection committee,
the process as described by Ms. Chapin and the artist was very public and thoughtful. Many factors were
considered in selecting this artwork including the artist's experience, the scale of the sculpture to the site,
and most importantly the theme of drawing Five Corners, downtown Edmonds and the waterfront
together and making the Five Corners roundabout a significant gateway to the City. The Arts Commission
approved the sculpture and recommends approval by the Council as public art.
Julaine Fleetwood, Edmonds, spoke in support of Mr. Rench's artwork for the roundabout. She moved
to Edmonds because of its art and waterfront personality. She works in Seattle and commutes by train.
Her involvement in the community includes serving as Director of the Edmonds Arts Festival, Art
Festival Foundation, Arts Flash, Edmonds Art Studio Tour, guest instructor at Edmonds Community
College, and coach/mentor at Scriber Lake High School. She was thrilled a significant piece of art would

August 27, 2013

Packet Page 8 of 346
be installed in Five Corners, finding it a great addition to the neighborhood. She often feels she is leaving
the Edmonds community when driving from the Edmonds bowl to Five Corners; the sculpture will tie
Five Corners to the rest of Edmonds. She liked the height and bulk, found the materials varied and
visually appealing. It will be clearly visible to cars and will elevate the perception of the Five Corners
neighborhood. She liked the lighted element and felt it would be a nice piece for Edmonds and a great
piece for Five Corners.
Darlene McLellan, Edmonds, commented over the last several years, the Edmonds Arts Commission
has looked for opportunities to expand public art beyond downtown and waterfront areas. The Highway
99 International District Enhancement project and now Five Corners make a connection to what has been
successfully accomplished downtown. CJ Rench's design is a well -thought out addition to art in
Edmonds, creating a visual gateway to connect Five Corners with downtown and the waterfront. He
successfully reflected the historical spirit of the neighborhood with his use of materials, finishes and
interplay with seasonal plantings. Lighting elements speak to the need for neighborhood safety, making
the boundaries clear, defining the textures and subtly conveying messages of reflection and water. It is an
exceptionally well thought out design for the center of a traffic circle and will not be a distraction for
drivers. This sculpture and the roundabout may encourage her to use this intersection which she has
avoided for years.
Victor Eskenazi, Edmonds, (Esperance), commented when he first learned to drive he was instructed to
be aware of traffic as much as possible including opposing traffic. When entering a roundabout, he
wanted to be able to see oncoming traffic. He also noted that he did not see notification of the selection
committee's meeting. He suggested public input could have been gathered by displaying the proposed
sculptures at one of the summer festivals. At this point the recommended artwork was being displayed
and the Council was encouraged to approve it; it was too late for public comment to make any difference.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, agreed with the suggestion that the other sculptures should be presented to
the public. He commented on the selection process for the fountain at 5t'' & Main. He did not like the
sculpture proposed for the Five Corners roundabout; it made him think of the movie, "2001", and landing
of aliens. He had difficulty visualizing square trees and said he will wait and see how the lights look. He
summarized the public had not been involved and had not seen the other options.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, was surprised only 12 people attended the selection committee's meeting,
recalling 150-200 people had attended previous art selection committee meetings. He encouraged the City
to adequately notify the public.
Councilmember Johnson thanked Ms. Chapin for organizing the process. She thanked the members of the
selection committee, the Arts Commission, and the 12 people who attended the selection committee
meeting.
Hearing no further comment, Mayor Earling closed the public participation portion of the public hearing.
COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS,
THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE ARTWORK PROPOSED BY CJR DESIGN FOR
THE FIVE CORNERS ROUNDABOUT.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented she grew up with roundabouts and was familiar with the reason
for a tall installation in the center. She asked Public Works Director Phil Williams to describe the logic.
Mr. Williams explained when approaching a circular intersection drivers are looking for a "target value"
in the center of the roundabout. It is desirable to have something very visible and easily seen when
approaching so drivers know to slow down. Paint on the ground or a lower installation would not provide
that visual. When stopped at the existing intersection, a driver is faced with four cars approaching from a
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
August 27, 2013
Page 6
Packet Page 9 of 346
variety of directions as well as four pedestrian crosswalks. It is confusing and a great deal of negotiating
occurs with cars starting, stopping and hesitating. That is avoided with a roundabout; a driver only has
one place to look, just to their left to see if there is any traffic. There is also only one crosswalk for the
driver to consider. What is happening on the other side of the roundabout is irrelevant and screening that
view reduces confusion for the driver.
Councilmember Johnson thanked Chris Rench for his design, Drawn to the Water — Connected to
Community. She was impressed with his experience with design, fabrication and installation. This will be
a very good installation of public art for Five Corners.
Councilmember Peterson also thanked the artist and the members of the selection committee including
Councilmember Johnson. Although members of the public have questioned the process, the selection
committee's meeting was noticed. The committee is comprised of members of the community who are
interested, knowledgeable and passionate about arts in the community. That is the process that can be
expected in a representative democracy; not all 40,000 residents can make a decision on this or any issue
other than during elections. He expressed his appreciation for the dedication of the Arts Commission,
staff, the artist who was selected and the artists who were not selected. He was excited about bringing
public art to other neighborhoods and felt this would be an iconic statement for the Five Corners
neighborhood.
Councilmember Bloom expressed support for the sculpture. She asked Ms. Chapin to explain the 1% for
Arts program. Ms. Chapin explained in 1975 by ordinance the City Council established the 1% for Arts
with the goal of accumulating funds that could be used to create artwork in the public realm. Artwork is
not inexpensive; this is a modest budget for a large scale sculpture. Since 1975, 1% of capital construction
projects funded by the City have been set aside in a special fund. Allocations from the fund are
recommended by the Edmonds Arts Commission. To accumulate enough for a significant project takes
many years because the 1% is not provided by projects funded primarily through grants. She noted the
entirely grant funded International District project on Highway 99 included artist -made lanterns. Some
years no funds are placed into the 1% for Arts Fund. Councilmember Bloom observed the 1% for Arts
funds can only be used for public art. Ms. Chapin agreed, noting any expenditures must follow the well-
defined process.
Councilmember Bloom relayed suggestions she had heard that it would have been less expensive to plant
trees or construct a rain garden in the roundabout. Mr. Williams answered trees could have been planted
in the roundabout. There was a desire to put something more iconic and related to Five Corners. With
regard to a rain garden, he explained it would have been very difficult to direct much of the stormwater
runoff within the project limits to the center of the intersection due to the limited grade. In addition, there
is a great deal of infrastructure under the intersection and a rain garden requires excavation of a
depression.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas thanked Ms. Chapin for bringing this lovely sculpture to the City and
thanked the artist for proposing such a beautiful piece of art.
THE VOTE ON THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
13. PUBLIC HEARING AS REQUIRED BY RCW 36.70A.390 ON INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE
NO. 3931 WHICH AMENDED THE CRITICAL AREAS ORDINANCE SECTIONS ECDC
23.40.210 AND 23.40.320, TO REPEAL THE DEFINITION OF REASONABLE ECONOMIC USE
AND REFERENCES THERETO.
Acting Development Services Director Rob Chave explained this is a required public hearing following
adoption of the interim zoning ordinance. The interim ordinance was adopted by the Council in early July
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
August 27, 2013
Page 7
Packet Page 10 of 346
to correct what the City Attorney and staff felt were problems with the critical areas ordinance with
regard to reasonable use exceptions. The ordinance removes a definition that partially removed some of
the discretion that the City would otherwise have in reviewing and approving reasonable use exceptions.
The Planning Board will be reviewing the issue; they had intended to discuss it tomorrow but due to the
City Attorney's absence, it will be delayed until September. A recommendation will be provided to the
Council before the interim ordinance expires.
Mayor Earling opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Jordan Shank commented that basing the definition of reasonable economic use on state and federal case
law, variances now require input from the City Attorney. He asked whether applicants are now required to
have legal representation or legal resources to investigate case law prior to a submittal. Citing the success
in Seattle, Redmond, Kirkland and King County, he asked how this implementation affected City
resources or the general timeframe for approval of a variance.
Steve Schroeder, Edmonds, said he appeared before the Council in opposition to a variance granted by
the Hearing Examiner that would have allowed construction of a house on a wetland and its buffers.
During that proceeding, it became apparent to the City Council's attorney and the City Attorney that the
ordinance was flawed. The ordinance includes an example regarding what constituted a reasonable
economic use. Taken literally by staff and the Hearing Examiner, it resulted in a drastic change in takings
law in Edmonds, taking it out of step with surrounding communities, state and federal law. He urged the
enactment of the amendment which will put citizens of Edmonds back on par with other state residents
with regard to reasonable use of property and not tie the hands of staff and the Hearing Examiner.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, commented he attended the meeting that Mr. Schroeder referred to.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented Edmonds has more critical areas than most cities due to the
topography. He was not aware that the City could prevent a property owner from building on their land; it
was his understanding that an access must be provided and some reasonable use must be allowed. He
suggested creating criteria and definitions in order to prevent a taking. He questioned whether a property
owner could be prevented from building anything on their property.
Lynn Hillman, Edmonds, commented she and her husband were disturbed by the City Council's hasty
adoption of an ordinance that suddenly changed a portion of the critical areas code without any
environmental emergency. The existing critical areas code has been in place many years; a code that was
written and adopted via a carefully considered process, not in a sudden and reactionary manner. The goals
of critical areas regulations under the State GMA include balancing environmental preservation with
urban growth encouragement and protection of individual property rights. A variance process in the code
provides for this in cases where strict interpretation denies reasonable economic use which would
otherwise leave the City open to an unlawful taking of private property without compensation in violation
of state and federal constitutions. Removing definitions such as reasonable use make the code less clear.
More definitive code language helps citizens and staff determine whether a proposal meets City code.
Other local jurisdictions have reasonable use provisions that are more definitive and specific than
Edmonds'; she provided written materials containing excerpts from King County, Kirkland, Mukilteo and
Lake Forest Park's critical area regulations. She requested the City Council and Planning Board consider
adding similar, more precise provisions to the Edmonds code during its next regular code update cycle
such as a limit on allowed site disturbance, a square foot limit on a house in a critical area, or other
similarly restrictive by clear language. She recommended the interim ordinance be either rescinded or
repealed until a fully thought out, more carefully drafted critical area code was presented for review
Hearing no further comment, Mayor Earling closed the public participation portion of the public hearing.

Mr. Chave thanked Ms. Hillman for the material she provided and assured he would forward it to the City
Attorney. In response to Mr. Shank's comment, Mr. Chave explained the interim ordinance removes the
definition that the City Attorney felt conflicted with case law. He noted decisions on variances and
exceptions must be made carefully because they are considered on a case -by -case basis. Broadening rules
to the extent they conflict with case law unnecessarily handcuffs the City in doing its due diligence
review. The interim ordinance did not impose new requirements on applicants; it does not require an
applicant to have an attorney. The comments regarding standards will be considered by the Planning
Board during its review.
Council President Petso explained no action was required; this was a required public hearing.
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled the definition of reasonable economic use was determined to be
incorrect due to the example. Mr. Chave agreed, explaining it could not always be assumed a single
family house on a lot was a reasonable use. Councilmember Buckshnis recalled attorney Carol Morris'
example of a property that was underwater. Mr. Chave pointed out a property's assessment may also be
part of determining reasonable use; for example a lot that seems to be buildable but if it is assessed at
$1000, clearly the assessor does not feel it is buildable.
9. AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT
FOR INTER -JURISDICTIONAL COORDINATION RELATING TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING
WITHIN SNOHOMISH COUNTY.
Acting Development Services Director Rob Chave advised this was forwarded to full Council by the
Parks, Planning and Public Works Committee with a recommendation for approval. Edmonds entered into
a memorandum of understanding with several other cities in 2011 to pursue an agreement. The Interlocal
Cooperation Agreement establishes a multi jurisdiction workgroup in Snohomish County. The workgroup
obtained a $50,000 Gates Foundation grant for the first year, reducing the cost for the City's participation
in the first year to $2,385. The intent of pooling resources is to provide assistance to each city. More
importantly the agreement provides for a coalition that can leverage grants to move affordable housing
forward. If the Council agrees, the recommended action is to, 1) authorize the Mayor to sign the Interlocal
Agreement and 2) authorize the related expenditure of $2,385 from the Council Contingency Fund.
Council President Petso clarified taking this action did not necessarily obligate the City to participate in
anything the organization develops. Mr. Chave responded the organization, comprised of participant
cities, Snohomish County and the Housing Authority of Snohomish County, is not a regulatory body. The
intent is to leverage funds and technical expertise. He referred to ARCH (A Regional Housing Coalition)
in King County as a successful example. This is a voluntary participatory agency; any jurisdiction can
withdraw with 90 days' notice.
Councilmember Buckshnis read from ARCH's website, ARCH assists member governments in
developing housing policies, strategies, programs and development regulations and coordinates with the
city's financial support for groups in creating affordable housing for low to moderate income housing.
Mr. Chave advised the amount of $2,385 is money well spent to obtain expertise regarding affordable
housing.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON,
TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT AND
AUTHORIZE THE RELATED EXPENDITURE OF $2,385 FROM THE COUNCIL
CONTINGENCY FUND.

Councilmember Buckshnis recalled a presentation two years ago by Shane Hope, Mountlake Terrace. She
said Snohomish County Tomorrow has been working on this for a long time and received a Gates
Foundation grant.
Council President Petso referred to a comment on ARCH's website regarding developer incentives for
low income and/or affordable housing, recalling that was not supported by respondents to the Strategic
Plan survey.
THE VOTE ON THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
to. ADOPTION OF LONGEVITY PAY FOR NON -REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES
Parks & Recreation/Reporting Human Resources Director Carrie Hite reported this is the fifth time this
issue has been before the Council. She provided background, explaining a nonrepresented compensation
consultant worked with the City in 2011/2012 and presented a formal recommendation to the Council in
August and September 2012. The Council adopted some items related to a nonrepresented compensation
policy and directed staff to return to Council with further information regarding this item. Staff returned
to Council in November 2012; the Council asked for further review by the Finance Committee. Following
the Finance Committee's review in February 2013, it was forwarded to full Council for review. Staff
discussed this issue with Council in April and Council requested staff return during the budget process.
Ms. Hite explained the compensation consultant recommended longevity compensation for non -
represented employees. She referred to information in the Council packet regarding cities that provide
longevity compensation for nonrepresented employees. The compensation consultant recommended
providing longevity compensation due to, 1) the commitment of the tenure of City staff working for the
City, 2) comparison of comparable cities as well as internal comparisons (all SEIU, Teamsters, and Police
receive longevity compensation), and 3) earning potential of nonrepresented employees was considerably
reduced with the adoption of the compensation policy. The packet includes a revised policy that
incorporates the more conservative SEIU schedule.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if nonrepresented employees received a COLA in 2013. Ms. Hite
answered they did. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas recalled nonrepresented employees at the top of their
pay scale received a step increase. Ms. Hite answered no; employees at the top of their salary range are
frozen and did not receive a step increase. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if nonrepresented
employees receive the same medical as SIEU, Teamsters and Police. Ms. Hite answered all employees
have the same medical package with the exception of the Police; Police have 100% of their premium paid,
all others have 90% of their premiums paid and 10% is paid by the employee. Councilmember Fraley-
Monillas asked if nonrepresented employees received any other benefits as part of the nonrepresented
compensation policy. Ms. Hite answered the Council added, at the recommendation of the compensation
consultant, management leave for nonrepresented employees who cannot accrue comp time.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if the Council planned to take action on this item tonight. Council
President Petso answered the Council did not need to take action tonight. This item had been on the
extended agenda as a discussion item; she learned Thursday it was changed to an action item because it
would assist staff in developing the preliminary budget. She assumed whatever decision the Council made
tonight could be changed in the budget process. However, because it was listed on the agenda as an action
item tonight, Council could take action if they wished. She indicated she will likely vote against any
action as she had not had enough time since learning it was an action item to review all the materials.
Mayor Earling explained staff was actively engaged in assembling the 2014 budget; this will impact the
budget. It would be of great assistance to know whether or not the Council wanted to adopt longevity
compensation.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
August 27, 2013

Packet Page 13 of 346
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out Lynnwood and Olympia provide monetary amounts rather than a
percentage. She assumed that was done to avoid impacting pensions. Ms. Hite answered any
compensation is added to an employee's salary base. Councilmember Buckshnis recalled the Council
previously approved providing a flat amount to nonrepresented employees. She asked whether that would
be done again this year. Ms. Hite recalled the Council did that in 2012 when the compensation policy was
adopted. A percentage COLA for nonrepresented employees was included in the 2013 budget.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she would not support longevity compensation, primarily because
nonrepresented employees would then receive nearly the same package that represented employees
receive. She was satisfied with providing a COLA, step increases and medical but not longevity
compensation. She relayed a great deal of time and money was expended negotiating with unions over
these same issues; nonrepresented employees receiving the same benefits as represented employees did
not "pass the smell test" for her.
Councilmember Bloom observed the materials provided indicate five jurisdictions have longevity
compensation, five do not, and five did not respond. Ms. Hite agreed, noting King County and Snohomish
County were included for information only at the request of Council; they are not used in salary
comparisons. With regard to a percentage versus a flat amount, Councilmember Bloom assumed staff
who have been employed longer earn more. She asked about the average salary of the 7 employees who
have been employed 19+ years. Ms. Hite responded she did not have an average. Nonrepresented staff are
managers, directors and professional staff who oversee programs. They are in leadership roles, are part of
the City's executive management team and are typically paid more than union employees. She explained
in Parks & Recreation there are three managers with 40, 25 and 22 years of service whose salaries are
frozen.
Councilmember Yamamoto asked what timeframe was contemplated for calculating longevity
compensation. Ms. Hite answered that was also a topic for Council consideration. She suggested
including it in the 2014 budget and beginning it January 1, 2014. The Council could also decide to
provide longevity compensation retroactively from July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.
Council President Petso asked whether nonrepresented employees would receive a COLA in 2014. Ms.
Hite answered a 1.4% COLA would be included in the budget for nonrepresented employees similar to
Teamster and SEIU. Negotiations have begun on the 2014 Police contract.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked whether a flat amount was ever researched. Ms. Hite answered that had
not been researched based on the compensation consultant's recommendation that considered internal and
external comparisons. She explained internal equity issues were one of the key issues the consultant
raised. This year two union employees chose not to apply for promotional opportunities that would result
in their becoming nonrepresented employees due to the compensation difference. Providing longevity
compensation at a flat rate would add to that compression issue. Councilmember Buckshnis noted it
would also be more quantifiable as employees who know the amount they will receive.
Councilmember Peterson expressed support for longevity compensation. Because tonight was a fourth
Tuesday and Council President Petso did not want to take action tonight, he supported scheduling it for
action as soon as possible. In addition to considering comparator cities, he agreed with considering
internal equity. The inability to promote from within because employees promoted from a union to
nonrepresented position do not make as much money is a disservice to staff and the City. He pointed out
the knowledge that employees with 10-15 years of service have. He also supporting having longevity
compensation retroactive to July 1, 2013.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
August 27, 2013

Packet Page 14 of 346
Councilmember Johnson said longevity compensation makes sense for employees who are at the top of
their scale and have no opportunity for further advancement. She expressed interest in further information
about the fiscal impact of longevity compensation retroactive to 2013 as well as the fiscal impact for
outlying years.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented the pay scale for nonrepresented employees is a separate
issue and should be addressed separately rather than piecemealed via longevity pay. She noted longevity
pay would not motivate employees to seek promotion or to remain in the City's employment. Longevity
pay is part of a compensation package that was negotiated with the other groups. She preferred to
consider longevity pay for nonrepresented employees as part of a compensation package. Ms. Hite
pointed out longevity compensation was part of a package for nonrepresented employees that the
compensation consultant presented to the Council. The Council asked to have it pulled out for continued
discussion.
Councilmember Peterson agreed the Council was provided a compensation package for nonrepresented
that was similar to represented employees. It was the Council's decision to separate out some items. He
suggested the next agenda memo include the complete compensation package that was presented by the
compensation consultant.
Ms. Hite summarized the information the Council was requesting in addition to the original compensation
package includes, 1) the fiscal impact for retroactivity in 2013, 2) fiscal impact for outlying years, 3) a
flat rate approach and the fiscal impact.
Due to the absence of 3 Councilmembers from the September 17 and 24 meetings, Mayor Earling
suggested information be provided at next week's meeting or a full Council meeting be held on
September 10. Council President Petso suggested either staff return with the information soon or it be
addressed as a decision package in the 2014 budget.
11. DISCUSSION REGARDING CODE OF ETHICS
Parks & Recreation/Reporting Human Resources Director Carrie Hite explained the Personnel Committee
has been comparing and contrasting Codes of Ethics for cities throughout the Puget Sound region. Two
documents the committee has been considering include Kirkland and Bellevue's Code of Ethics. The
committee has also discussed Bainbridge Island's code. Kirkland adopted a Code of Conduct in addition
to a Code of Ethics. She explained a Code of Conduct describes professional responsibilities; a Code of
Ethics describes legal responsibilities. A Code of Ethics would apply to the Council, boards and
commissions; staff is guided by a Code of Conduct in the City's personnel policies. The Personnel
Committee has also expressed interest in identifying an Ethics Officer. Some of the comparable models
reviewed by the Personnel Committee identify an Ethics Officer outside the organization in order to have
an objective, non -vested perspective in researching a Code of Ethics issues. For example Kirkland and
Bellevue contract with an Ethics Officer on an as needed basis who is only paid when a Code of Ethics
issue needs to be investigated. Neither Kirkland nor Bellevue had incurred any expenses for outside
review of a Code of Ethics violation.
Councilmember Bloom noted the attachments are in the August 20, 2013 packet. She clarified in addition
to Councilmembers, boards and commissions, the Code of Ethics would cover all elected officials
including the Mayor. Kirkland and Bellevue's Codes of Ethics do not include a Mayor because they have
a City Manager form of government.
Councilmember Bloom expressed concern with including the requirement in 3.14.040 of Kirkland's
policy related to financial disclosure for all officials. Officials are defined as all members of boards and
commissions. Kirkland's policy excludes the Mayor and Council because elected officials must present
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
August 27, 2013
Page 12
Packet Page 15 of 346
all financial information on a yearly basis. She did not support requiring all members of boards and
commissions to disclose their financial information and suggested that be excluded that from Edmonds'
Code of Ethics; Bellevue's Code of Ethics does not have that requirement. She also suggested
consideration be given to the complaint process and who handles complaints. For example Kirkland
involves the Hearing Examiner and the City Council in the event of a complaint regarding a
Councilmember.
Councilmember Peterson agreed with Councilmember Bloom's concern about requiring members of
boards and commissions to disclose financial information. He agreed with the Council considering a Code
of Ethics in a proactive approach rather than a reactive approach. He supported the City having a Code of
Ethics for elected officials and boards and commissions, anticipating a Code of Ethics would make the
Council's work easier if an ethical issue arose. As Councilmember Buckshnis indicated, a Code of Ethics
can be subjective, but responding to an ethical complaint would be even more subjective without a Code
of Ethics.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas advised Snohomish County adopted a Code of Conduct for all boards
and commissions and every commission and board member must acknowledge they have read and
understand the Code of Conduct. She encouraged Councilmembers to review Snohomish County's Code
of Conduct for elected and appointed officials.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether Snohomish County's Code of Conduct was similar to Kirkland's.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas responded Snohomish County may be more thorough and
straightforward.
Council President Petso said she was pleased to see Kirkland's Code of Conduct in the packet and was
interested in pursuing a Code of Conduct. She was concerned about the Code of Ethics and Ethics Officer
and complaint enforcement. She feared a person who did not agree with an official's position on an issue
could file an ethics complaint. She indicated she was unlikely to support a Code of Ethics that included a
complaint process, an Ethics Officer and enforcement. She found Bellevue's Code of Ethics less
objectionable; the statement of intent is to not to limit people who could serve on boards and commissions
and elected officials. She agreed the financial disclosure in Kirkland's Code of Ethics would likely deter
citizens from volunteering for a board or commission.
Council President Petso noted there are other aspects, particularly in Kirkland's Code of Ethics that would
deter citizens from volunteering to serve on a board or commission. There are events that do not
constitute an ethics issue but might under a poorly drafted policy. For example when she was appointed to
Council, a relative was serving on the Sister City Commission; that did not create an issue for her or him.
It would have been unfortunate if the Code of Ethics forced one of them to resign their position. One of
Kirkland's policies indicated it would be a conflict if a person serving on a board of commission lived in
your household. In the example she provided, the person did live in her household for a period of time but
it had no impact on his ability to serve on the Sister City Commission.
Council President Petso relayed the City Attorney wanted the Council to discuss whether they were
interested in developing a Code of Ethics for Edmonds because it will take him a great deal of time to
develop it. Less legal time would be involved in drafting a Code of Conduct.
Councilmember Buckshnis preferred the Bainbridge Island Code of Ethics. She agreed with not requiring
boards and commissions to disclose financial information, commenting Councilmembers file with the
Public Disclosure Commission. She liked the Code of Conduct although she feared it could be subjective.
She recalled recent emotionally charged conversations with a fellow Councilmember that could have been
interpreted as an argument. She preferred to start with a Code of Conduct using Snohomish County as an
example.

Councilmember Bloom also liked Bainbridge Island's Code of Ethics policy the best. She recalled
Councilmember Peterson's concern with Bainbridge Island's creation of an Ethics Board and the need for
staff support for such a board. She supported adopting a Code of Ethics for the Council, boards and
commissions. She explained an ethics violation was not related to conduct but rather conflicts of interest.
She asked the City Attorney to describe an ethics violation. City Attorney Sharon Cates answered Code of
Ethics are related to conflict of interest issues, not interpersonal interaction.
Councilmember Bloom commented Bainbridge Island's policy allows citizens to ask questions about
potential ethics violations and the Ethics Board decides whether to pursue a complaint. Bainbridge
Island's policy also has consequences for bringing a frivolous or unsubstantiated complaint. She asked if
that was typical of ethics policies. Ms. Cates answered a solid ethics code includes a process for
determining whether a complaint is an ethics violation. Councilmember Bloom noted an ethics complaint
is required to be notarized and to include information about the violation.
Councilmember Buckshnis expressed support for the Personnel Committee working on a Code of
Conduct similar to Kirkland's.
Councilmember Yamamoto agreed with the Committee continuing to consider a Code of Conduct and a
Code of Ethics. He encouraged Councilmembers to submit suggestions/comments/concerns to the
committee.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas suggested scheduling further discussion on either the September 17 or
24 Council meetings. Council President Petso agreed it could be scheduled with the understanding it
would be discussion only due to the absence of three Councilmembers.
Councilmember Peterson suggested Councilmembers review Bainbridge Island's ethics policy on their
website. He agreed there were good ideas in the policy; he was opposed to creating an Ethics Board.
Councilmember Bloom agreed with first establishing a Code of Conduct but did not want to abandon the
idea of a Code of Ethics. The Personnel Committee has discussed it at length and the community would
like the City to have an ethics policy.
Councilmember Buckshnis agreed with Councilmember Peterson's concern with creating an Ethics
Board. She preferred to use a professional Ethics Officer.
14. REPORT ON OUTSIDE BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Councilmember Johnson reported on her participation on the review of arts and cultural aspects of the
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan. She described efforts to gather input from the public including a
survey at the recent concert in the park. There is also an online survey available.
Councilmember Bloom reported the Tree Board discussed definitions in the Tree Code including
hazardous trees, nuisance trees and trees.
Councilmember Bloom reported the Council interviewed a new member for the Lodging Tax Advisory
Committee tonight.
Councilmember Bloom reported on her first meeting as the Council liaison to the Port of Edmonds
liaison. The Commission discussed budget issues and promotional efforts. The Commission was also
provided a project update including expansion of Anthony's Beach Cafe as well as the roof on Harbor
Square building 2 which is $30,000 under budget and will last 20-30 years.

15. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling thanked Councilmembers Johnson and Fraley-Monillas for organizing the volunteer
picnic. Three Councilmembers attended, there was a good turnout and it was well organized.
Mayor Earling reported City Clerk interviews have been completed. He anticipated a decision will be
made in the next couple weeks.
16. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council President Petso reported the Mayor vetoed the Council's action to repeal the most recent interim
ordinance related to critical areas. That typically triggers a Council review and determination whether to
override the veto; that will be scheduled on the Council agenda as soon as possible. In the meantime, the
Planning Board is working on the matter. She encouraged anyone interested in the topic to participate at
the Planning Board.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas thanked Mayor Earling and Council President Petso for attending the
volunteer picnic and Executive Council Assistant Jana Spellman for assisting with the picnic.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas thanked Snohomish County Councilmember Stephanie Wright who
garnered $500,000 from Conservation Futures to purchase property in Edmonds.
Councilmember Bloom thanked Council President Petso for her summary of the ordinance the Council
repealed last week that was vetoed by Mayor Earling. She agreed the discussion has raised a number of
issues and she hoped citizens would follow the issue at the Planning Board.
Councilmember Bloom announced she appointed Doug Schwartz to the Edmonds Development
Commission.
Councilmember Johnson thanked everyone involved in making the first annual volunteer picnic a success.
She looked forward to next year's picnics. She thanked everyone who attended. She has volunteered to
assist Councilmember Fraley-Monillas in organizing next year's picnic.
Councilmember Buckshnis announced she made an appointment to the Economic Development
Commission.
Councilmember Buckshnis thanked the volunteers from OLAE and encouraged dog owners to obtain a
yellow ribbon for their dog as part of the Yellow Dog Project.

Packet Page 63 of 346
B. The Art Work shall be of proper overall size and aesthetic proportional relationship
to the area in which it is to be installed. Changes may be made by Artist, such as changes in relative

approval of Owner for each such change.
3. Ownership of Documents and Models
A. Drawings, specifications, and models of the Art Work, or which relate to the Art
Work, including all preliminary studies (all items hereinafter referred to as the "Plans"), shall be the
property of the Artist following completion of the Art Work under this Agreement or following
termination by Owner under Section 9B. Under these circumstances, Owner shall not use the Plans
on other projects or extensions of this project except pursuant to a subsequent agreement in writing
between Artist and Owner.
B. However, the Plans shall become and remain the property of Owner for its use

Artist is actually delayed in the progress, completion or installation of the Art Work for reasons that
are within the Owner's reasonable control.
5. No Assignment of Work. The work and services required of Artist are personal and shall
not be assigned, sublet or transferred without the prior written approval of Owner. This shall not

protection of the public during delivery and installation including cordoning off work area with
cones and tape.

Packet Page 65 of 346
(1) Artist shall be paid according to the schedule set out in Section 8, plus a
proportionate part of the next installment that would have been due had the Art
Work been completed, based upon the percentage of completion of that phase which
has been reached at the time of termination. If payments previously made to Artist
exceed the total amount due as computed above, then final payment shall be due and
Artist shall refund that amount of the total previous payments which exceed the
amount determined by applying the above formula. Artist shall deliver to Owner the
Art Work in whatever form it exists at that time, which shall then become the
property of Owner for use without restriction, exception that it shall not be
represented to be the work of Artist.
(2) Artist may refund all monies paid to her/him by Owner prior to the time of
termination and retain the Art Work, together with any models, plans, drawings, and
all materials and supplies purchased for the Art Work, for her/his own use without
restriction.
C. If this Agreement is terminated by Owner for fault on the part of Artist, or because
of the disability of Artist; or is terminated automatically because of the death of Artist; or in the
event of any breach of its terms by Artist, Owner may require either of the options that would have
been available to Artist under 9B above (except that if 9B(1) is chosen, Section 3B shall also apply).
Exercise of either of these options by Owner does not prevent Owner from pursuing a remedy
otherwise available to it in law or equity.
10. Indemnity. Artist shall indemnify and hold Owner and the City of Edmonds Arts
Commission, their members, officers, agents and employees, harmless from, and shall process and
defend at her/his own expense, any and all causes of action, suits at law or equity, or claims or

shall attach to Owner by virtue of entering into this Agreement except as is expressly provided
herein. No third party beneficiary rights are created by this Agreement. Artist shall comply with
all applicable sections of the applicable Ethics laws, including RCW 42.23, which is the Code of
Ethics for regulating contract interest by municipal officers.
11. Risk of Loss and Insurance.
A. The risk of damage to or loss of the Art Work during development and through
installation shall be solely that of Artist. This risk shall transfer to Owner only upon transfer of title
to and ownership of the Art Work, which shall occur after installation is complete and the Art Work
is finally approved by Owner.
B. Artist may provide a policy of insurance, covering all risks and hazards against any
damage to or loss of the Art Work while it is in the design phase or while the Art Work is being
made in Artist's studio. Before beginning any on -site installation or fabrication, Artist and Artist's
subcontractors shall purchase and maintain, for the duration of any on -site installation or fabrication,
insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise from, or in

installed by Artist (whether such change is intentional or accidental, and whether it is done by
Owner or others), including any change in the interrelationship or relative locations of the parts of
the Art Work, the Art Work will no longer be represented to be the work of Artist without Artist's
consent. Owner agrees that it will not intentionally destroy, damage, alter, modify or change the Art
Work in any way whatsoever.
B. While recognizing that Owner does not currently have a legal mechanism permitting
the sale of works of art, Owner agrees that if in the future Owner does sell the Art Work, during the
life of Artist, Owner shall pay Artist a sum of fifteen percent (15%) of the appreciated value of the
Art Work. The Art Work will be placed in the location for which it was selected. If any relocation
of the Art Work is necessary Artist will be informed by Owner.
13. Repairs and Guarantee.

How To Build a Scarecrow
There is no such thing as a bad handmade, family -friendly scarecrow,
so let your imagination run wild. But, if you feel the need for a little guidance,
here are ideas:
What you need:
• Two poles
- one 5-6 feet long
- one 2-3 feet long
• Heavy twine
• Pillowcase, sack, or nylon stocking
• Permanent markers, or yarn or embroidery
• Thread or needle
• Straw, hay, dry leaves, or plastic bags for stuffing
• Rag mop head or straw for hair
• Shirt or blouse and overalls, jeans or skirt
• Hat and hat pins
• Gloves, scarf, shoes
• Optional accessories — broom, rake or mop
What to do:
• Attach the shorter pole perpendicularly to longer pole about one foot from top of longer pole
• Attachment can be made by lashing the two together with heavy twine, duct tape or
wood screws
• Pound the long pole into the ground or attach to a concrete block or other anchor
• Draw a face on pillowcase, sack, or stocking
• Go over it with permanent markers, or stitch the features with yarn or embroidery
• Stuff the head with straw, hay, or dry leaves
• Slide the head over the top of the long pole and secure with twine
• Add a rag mop or straw for hair and pin on a hat
• Dress the scarecrow in a shirt, blouse, overalls, jeans or skirt
• Add Gloves, scarf, accessories, and whatever else you wish
• Stuff with straw, plastic bags — newspaper is an option, but won't stand up to bad weather
Last Steps:
• Have fun and use imagination (remember, family friendly)
• Enter your Scarecrow on the festival section of the museum website at
www.historicedmonds.org

Public Hearing on Ordinance No. 3935 — An Interim Zoning Ordinance to amend the Critical Areas
Ordinance, specifically Sections ECDC 23.40.220, 23.40.320, 23.50.020, 23.50.040, and 23.90.040, to
allow development within legally established impervious areas and within buffer areas that are physically
separated and functionally isolated from an associated critical area.
Recommendation
Take public comment on Interim Zoning Ordinance No. 3935
Previous Council Action
The Parks/Planning/Public Works Committee reviewed the issue during it's July 9th meeting and asked
the Planning Board to develop a recommendation. The full Council heard a presentation on the issue at
the July 30th Council meeting and adopted Interim Ordinance No. 3935 on August 6th. The City Council
voted to repeal Interim Ordinance No. 3935 on August 20th with Ordinance No. 3940, which was
subsequently vetoed by the Mayor.
Narrative
There is an inconsistency in the City's critical areas best available science (BAS) report and the
terminology used in the critical areas code regarding "allowed activities." The Council's
Parks/Planning/Public Works Committee reviewed the issue on July 9th and asked the Planning Board to
review the issue. This is an opportunity for the full Council to be briefed on the issue. This is also an
opportunity for the Council to provide interim relief (via an interim zoning ordinance) if it chooses to do
SO.
A more detailed discussion is provided in the attached memo (Exhibit 1) and a technical memo from
Kernen Lien is included as Exhibit 2.
The minutes of the Council's PPP Committee and Council minute excerpts are contained in Exhibits 3 - 6.
Interim Ordinance 3935 is included as Exhibit 7, and vetoed Ordinance 3940 is Exhibit 8.

MEMORANDUM
Date: July 25, 2013
To: City Council
From: I Rob
Subject: I Allowed Activities within Critical Area Buffers
The Problem. The problem is simply stated: the City's critical areas regulations, as written, are
not completely consistent with the City's Best Available Science (BAS) report.
Critical Areas Best Available Science. The City's critical areas ordinance (CAO) was
developed based on `best available science' (BAS). The BAS assessment concluded that because
the city was mostly developed, the main route to improving critical areas and their buffers was to
require buffer enhancement in exchange for allowing development and redevelopment to occur
within the footprint of already -developed areas (see separate technical memo from Kernen Lien
for further detailed discussion). It was intended that this approach would be reflected in the City's
adopted CAO.
The City's critical areas ordinance (CAO) addresses standards and enhancement strategies
through a number of mechanisms, including the concept of "Allowed Activities." In the City's
CAO, "Allowed Activities" are generally described as activities that can occur within critical area
buffers. These allowed activities (sometimes referred to as `uses') can be conditioned, must use
`Best Management Practices', and must be conducted so that there is no degradation of the
associated critical area. Examples of "Allowed Activities" are generally what one would expect,
including such things as utilities maintenance or replacement, maintenance of rights -of -way, and
so forth. Also included are alteration of existing structures "...that does not increase the footprint
of development or increase the impact to the critical area or buffer...." The relationship of an
allowed activity to the "footprint of development" was directly related to the BAS discussion
noted above, but the language also includes the key phrase "existing structures" which conflicts
with the general concept of tying activity to the "footprint of development." This has had
unfortunate consequences which are counter to the intent of the BAS. Two examples that have
surfaced recently illustrate the problem.
City Park Spray Park Project. A portion of the project being designed at City Park is located
within a Class II wetland buffer, even though the project site is physically separated by a parking
lot and access road from the associated wetland. As such, the project is located in an area that we
would describe as "physically separated and functionally isolated" from the wetland. According
the BAS report, this is the type of development the City should allow, in exchange for buffer
enhancement.
City of Edmonds c�q Planning Division
Packet Page 77 of 346 Exhibit 1
American Brewing Company Project. An existing business is located within a developed area
and wishes to add a silo to its site. The site is completely paved, so the added structure will have
no impact on the critical area or its buffer. Again, this type of activity is envisioned in the Best
Available Science analysis, but the restriction in the code to "alteration to a legally constructed
structure" means that the project can't go forward. The business owner has already approached
the City to seek a permit, and may need to relocate his business if he is unable to proceed.
Solutions. The City Council's Parks/Planning/Public Works Committee reviewed the problem at
its July 9, 2013 meeting and asked the Planning Board to review the issue. However, greater
urgency may be called for. Regarding the spray park project, Parks Recreation and Cultural
Services Director Carrie Hite notes,
The current project area lies within the buffer of the wetland bordering City Park to the
North. Steve Quarterman completed a wetland reconnaissance and determined that the
northern portion of the play area falls within the boundaries. However, no in -water work
or work in wetlands is planned for the project and the site work is focused on an area
that is separated from the wetland and stream by an existing parking lot. This existing
parking lot interrupts the vegetated wetland/stream buffer.
We are on hold in the design phase of our project. We have completed 30% and in the
process of working on 60% design, have been researching permit issues associated with
this project. We are currently stalled until we can figure out how to
1. Mitigate the development within the buffer, which has been determined by
Planning isn't legal. Or
2. Adopt an interim ordinance that clarifies the code, so that there is allowance
to develop within already developed land within the buffer. Or
3. Move the project south into the park more, necessitating the removal of
several large trees in City Park.
Time is of the essence for this, as the design is on hold until we can resolve this issue.
The more time we are at a standstill adds to the project time, scope, and budget.
Our project timeline calls for 60% design to complete by August I st. We also need to be
out to bid on the Spray equipment and the Play equipment by the end of July, which is on
hold, pending the footprint and design.
Given the clear intent expressed in the Best Available Science report, it appears to staff that it
would be reasonable to consider adopting an interim zoning ordinance to provide immediate
relief. The City Attorney has drafted an interim ordinance for Council consideration; this can be
considered by Council at its August 6, 2013 meeting for further action while the Planning Board
is considering a permanent fix. The interim ordinance would clarify the "footprint of
development" concept, incorporate the language addressing "physically separated and
functionally isolated" language, and also provide greater clarity regarding the expectation for
buffer enhancement, all provisions consistent with the critical areas BAS report.

Allowed Uses within Critical Area Buffers
In many instances critical area buffers engulf entire properties and may even extend across
properties entirely separated from a stream or wetland. Often property within the critical area
buffers has been developed. The City's critical regulations contain provisions for allowed
activities within critical areas or their associated buffers. While the Best Available Science report
prepared during the CAO update evaluated redevelopment with a developed footprint, the
allowed use provisions of the critical area code allows additions to structures but seem to prohibit
development within the previously developed footprint.
Two proposals have been presented to the City recently that are impacted by strict interpretation
of the critical areas allowed uses provisions. Staff wants to highlight this issue for the Council for
a possible code amendment. Below is an analysis of the Best Available Science report and the
critical areas allowed uses provisions.
of Edmond Critical Areas Ordinance
The Best Available Science (BAS) reports that were developed during the City's update of the
critical area regulations also recognized that historical development exists within the critical area
buffers and envisioned redevelopment within critical area buffers. The BAS report noted:
The City of Edmonds is largely built -out with approximately 96% of the land previously
developed. GMA density goals will be met through redevelopment. Instituting large buffers
that would extend into residential yards that were previously developed would offer no
additional protection for the resource. To ensure improvement in wetland buffer function
over time the new CAO requires buffer enhancement for redevelopment that expands
an existing structure footprint into a buffer. The CAO provides flexibility for City staff to
work with landowners in developing a scientifically -based enhancement plan for such
redevelopment. (pg. 31)
A memorandum from the CAO update elaborates on this:
City of Edmonds caR City Council
Packet Page 79 of 346 Exhibit 2
The goal of the CAO is to protect public safety and the City's natural resources while
providing for increases in urban density under the GMA guidelines. The CAO update reflects
the City's particular needs regarding future growth and critical areas. The vast majority of
the City (96%) is already developed, thus future growth will be concentrated in
redevelopment of existing parcels. In addition, older residential neighborhoods are
integrated with streams that have little or no native vegetation buffers. The challenge for the
CAO is to provide opportunities to improve conditions along these streams in the long
term while allowing reasonable redevelopment.
One of the challenges of updating the CAO was to balance projected growth to meet
GMA goals and protection of natural resources using BAS in a city that is essentially
built -out. Streams are a particular challenge in the city. Some streams flow through steep
ravines with good native vegetation cover while many sections of streams flow through
residential neighborhoods that have little or no native plant buffers. Streams often flow
through areas dominated by lawn and suburban -type landscaping, within several feet of
houses, under driveways, and through manipulated channels. Extending 200-foot-wide
buffers throughout these areas was not practical and would offer no protection for most
of the City, which is already developed. In addition to increase in buffers over the current
code, the new CAO establishes a new requirement to provide buffer enhancement for
new footprints from redevelopment, even if no native plant buffer currently exists.
Given the vast majority of density increases will come from redevelopment this
approach ensures incremental increases in wetland and stream habitat quality.
While the Best Available Science reports addressed "development" and "redevelopment" within
existing buffers, that terminology did not get transferred to the code.
ECDC 23.40.220.C.3 — Allowed Activities (General)
3. Permitted Alteration to Structures Existing Within Critical Areas and/or Buffers.
Permitted alteration to a legally constructed structure existing within a critical area or buffer
that does not increase the footprint of development or increase the impact to the critical area
or buffer and there is no increased risk to life or property as a result of the proposed
modification or replacement (additions to legally constructed structures existing within a
critical area or buffer that do increase the existing footprint of development shall be
subject to and permitted in accordance with the development standards of the
associated critical area type (see ECDC 23.50.040 and 23.90.040)). This provision shall be
interpreted to supplement the provisions of the Edmonds Community Development Code
relating to nonconforming structures in order to permit the full reconstruction of a legal
nonconforming building within its footprint;
ECDC 23.50.020.E — Allowed Activities (Wetlands)
E. Permitted alteration to a legally constructed structure existing within a wetland or
wetland buffer that does not increase the footprint of development or impervious surfacing or
increase the impact to a wetland or wetland buffer. [Ord. 3527 § 2, 2004].
"Development" within the Best Available Science reports got transferred to "structure" within the
language of the critical areas regulations. While "development" generally includes impervious
surface with the "footprint of development", "structure" is more related to something that is
"constructed and erected" on the ground and does not include impervious surface. So while the
Best Available Science report envisioned redevelopment within an existing developed footprint
as an opportunity for enhancement over current conditions, the current critical area regulations do
not clearly reflect this concept.

The City is nearly 96% percent developed and a return to a predevelopment condition is
unrealistic. Redevelopment of properties provides an opportunity for enhancement of critical
area buffers and improving current conditions. As such, the Council may wish to consider an
amendment to the critical area regulations allowed uses provisions that provides for some
redevelopment with the previously developed footprint in association with enhancement
opportunities.

Elected Officials Present:
Council Member Kristiana Johnson
Council Member Diane Buckshnis
Mayor Dave Earling
The committee convened at 6:00 p.m.
Staff Present_
Phil Williams, Public Works Director
Rob English, City Engineer
Carrie Hite, Parks & Rec Director
Rob Chave, Acting Development Services Director
Stephen Clifton, Comm Srvs Econ Develop Director
Kernen Lien, Senior Planner
A. Quarterly Public Works Project Report
Mr. English reviewed the 2nd quarter public works project report. Staff responded to questions
about project status and financial information.
ACTION: Moved to Consent Agenda for information.
B. Authorization to advertise a Request for Bids for construction services for the 224th Street
SW Waterline Replacement Project.
Mr. English described the limits of the 224th St. Waterline Replacement Project and how the
project was necessary to eliminate the conflict with the new sewerline in 2241" St east of 761h
Ave. The 224t" St. sewerline project is currently under construction and is a joint project
between the City of Edmonds and Olympic View Water & Sewer District. The project will be
funded by the Water Utility Fund.
ACTION: Moved to Consent Agenda for approval.
C. Authorization for Mayor to approve acceptance and recording of easements for the 228th
St. SW Corridor Improvements Project.
Mr. English provided a summary of the right of way acquisition requirements to construct the
228th St. SW Corridor Improvement Project. Staff will place right of way documents on the
consent agenda for approval as the documents are signed by each of the nine property owners.
Four property owners have signed the necessary documents and the information will be on the
consent agenda for the July 16th City Council meeting.
D. Discussion on critical areas `allowed uses' provisions.
Staff discussed the relationship of the city's Best Available Science (BAS) report to the city's
critical areas regulations, noting that the BAS concepts related to allowed activities were not
correctly translated into the current code language. Two recent project proposals have
highlighted the problem, showing that the current code language is not allowing common sense
implementation of the BAS recommendations. The proposed `fix' would be to amend the code to
be consistent with the BAS analysis and approach, reflecting situations where a developed
portion of a buffer is physically separated and functionally isolated from the critical area. This

Burnstead closed record review. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether that attorney was paid
from the Council Contingency Fund. Councilmember Peterson answered he believed it was.
Council President Petso intended to budget enough money in the professional services line item next year
to cover the City Attorney's fee as well as 1-2 closed record reviews.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked whether Council President Petso agreed professional services should be
paid from the professional services line and not Council Contingency. Council President Petso answered
yes, if it is budgeted.
In response to Councilmember Fraley-Monillas' question, Councilmember Buckshnis explained there was
no Council approval to pay the outside attorney used for the Burnstead closed record review from the
Council Contingency Fund. Councilmember Peterson explained the Council directed that funds be
allocated but did not identify the source. The Council Contingency Fund was the only available funding
source without a budget amendment.
MOTION CARRIED (5-1), COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS VOTING NO.
8. PRESENTATION ON CRITICAL AREAS `ALLOWED ACTIVITIES' PROVISIONS.
Senior Planner Kernen Lien explained this issue was discussed with the Parks, Planning & Public Works
(PPP) Committee on July 9, 2013. The issue is the critical area regulations are not completely consistent
with the City's Best Available Science (BAS) report that was prepared as part of the City's Critical Areas
Ordinance (CAO) update in 2004, particularly in regard to allowed activities. Allowed activities are
activities that can occur within a critical area or critical area buffer. Allowed activities can be conditioned,
must use "Best Management Practices" and must not degrade associated critical area. Examples include
utility maintenance, activities within the improved right-of-way, and alterations to structures that do not
increase the "footprint of development."
This idea of development or redevelopment within the developed footprint was discussed in the BAS
report. The BAS report noted that the vast majority of the City (96%) is already developed and that future
growth will be concentrated in the redevelopment of existing parcels. The BAS report noted the challenge
for the CAO is providing opportunities to improve conditions around critical areas in the long term while
allowing reasonable redevelopment. The BAS concluded the main route to improving critical areas and
their buffers was to require buffer enhancement in exchange for allowing development and
redevelopment within the existing footprint of development. It was intended that this approach would be
reflected in the City's adopted CAO. When the language was transferred to code in the critical area
regulations, the language referred to "additions to existing structures" rather than "within the existing
footprint of development."
Two examples have come to light recently that illustrate this problem, the American Brewery silo and the
City Park project. Mr. Lien identified the area where American Brewery would like to install a silo, the
200-foot CAO wetland buffer that projects onto the site. Strict interpretation of the critical area
regulations that an existing structure within the critical area buffer can be altered, placing a silo is not an
alteration to an existing structure, so technically cannot be allowed under the City's CAO regulations. He
pointed out it is in a paved area and placing a silo in that location would not have any impact on the
existing critical area.
Mr. Lien explained the City Park project includes a proposal to extend the play area. He identified the
remnant of Edmonds Marsh on the east side of SR 104, explaining the play area is separated by a parking
lot. The proposed play area would expand within the buffer area; although not previously a developed
area, it is separated from the wetland by a previously developed area. "Buffer" means the designated area

immediately next to and part of a stream or wetland that is an integral part of the stream or wetland
ecosystem. The developed area is physically separated and functionally isolated.
The interpretation of the CAO has impacts throughout the City particularly due to streams through the
bowl such as Shellabarger, Shell Creek and Henley Stream. The buffers on those streams can encompass
more than one parcel. This issue was described to the PPP Committee on July 9 who recommended
forwarding it to the Planning Board. The Council packet includes a potential interim ordinance for
Council consideration at a future meeting while the Planning Board conducts their review. The Planning
Board is scheduled to begin their review at their August 14 meeting.
Council President Petso asked whether this proposal applied to all kinds of critical areas such as fish and
wildlife habitat conservation areas or steep slopes or did it only apply to wetland. Mr. Lien answered the
allowed activities provision is located in the general regulations of the CAO which apply to all critical
areas. Other critical areas have their own allowed activities; there is similar language in the wetland
section. Anything in the general regulations, 23.40, applies to all critical areas.
With regard to the City Park project, Council President Petso asked how much additional encroachment
into the buffer was proposed. She viewed it as a small area and envisioned a small redesign might solve
the problem rather than a code change. Mr. Lien indicated he was unable to discuss the park design. He
identified the 100 foot buffer from the wetland. In discussions with Parks & Recreation Director Carrie
Hite, she indicated any redesign would require moving the play area which would result in the loss of
several large trees on the south side of the park.
Council President Petso referred to the American Brewery silo, recalling there has been discussion about
curing the sins of the past. She noted it was one thing to rip up a parking lot and reestablish a natural
buffer; it was more difficult to remove a structure and reestablish a natural buffer. She asked whether the
change from structure to developed footprint may make it more difficult to restore some critical areas. Mr.
Lien answered additions and redevelopment provide an opportunity for enhancement. For allowing
redevelopment within a previously developed footprint, there would be enhancement to improve the area
around the wetland. Council President Petso asked if the change would allow redevelopment to occur
wherever there was existing pavement. Mr. Lien answered allowed activities can happen as long as BAS
are in place; these are generally things like erosion control, etc. The development must not degrade the
associated critical areas. Development can be allowed within redevelopment areas but some contingents
have to be met that would not impact the critical areas. He agreed it could extend to the edge of the
existing parking lot if it met the other conditions.
Council President Petso asked what constituted physically separated; whether a path along the edge of the
wetland or a 4-foot brick wall along the edge of a steep slope would be sufficient to say it was physically
separated and thus allowed to build to the existing separation. Mr. Lien answered in the draft interim
ordinance, the decision regarding physically separated and functionally isolated is made by a qualified
professional such as a wetland professional or stream biologist. Typically there is a road separating the
property from a stream or in the case of the City Park project, the site is separated from Shellabarger from
an apartment/condo complex.
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled the PPP Committee recommended this be reviewed by the Planning
Board. She feared the Council was getting caught up in the examples when the real issue was BAS
language translated to code was "additions to existing structures" rather than "within the existing footprint
of development." Mr. Lien explained the interim ordinance brings the CAO into consistency with the
BAS report.
Responding to Councilmember Buckshnis, Mr. Lien explained the issue was scheduled for review by the
Planning Board following the PPP Committee meeting; tonight's meeting did not delay the Planning

Packet Page 85 of 346
Board meeting. Councilmember Buckshnis asked what happened if the Planning Board wanted to amend
the language in the interim ordinance. City Attorney Jeff Taraday explained it was entirely possible the
Planning Board could make changes to the interim ordinance such as was done with the Farmers Market
interim ordinance. In that case, the Council adopted the revised version of the regulations and repealed the
interim ordinance. If the Planning Board returned with revisions to the interim ordinance and the Council
approved the revisions, the Council would adopt the revisions and appeal the interim regulations. Acting
Development Services Director Rob Chave advised an interim ordinance was proposed primarily due to
timing. Ms. Hite is concerned with a delay because the City Park project is at 30% design and it needs to
be at 60% before it goes to bid.
With regard to the City Park project Councilmember Fraley-Monillas suggested moving the play pad onto
another section. Mr. Lien explained the real issue is BAS language translated to code was "additions to
existing structures" rather than "within the existing footprint of development." The City Park project was
an example of how that impacts potential development. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she did not
understand the urgency. Mr. Chave relayed Ms. Hite's indication that because of the configuration of the
park, if the proposed location was not allowed, it would need to be shifted.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked how the Shoreline Master Plan (SMP) affects critical areas. Mr.
Lien answered the Shoreline Management Act (SMA) and Growth Management Act (GMA) are two
different things. Within shoreline jurisdictions, the SMA rules; outside of shoreline jurisdictions, the
GMA rules. The CAO is an outgrowth of the GMA. Portions of the CAO have been adopted within the
updated SMP which would apply within shoreline jurisdictions. The Department of Ecology specifically
excepts portions of the CAO that do not apply within shoreline areas. The allowed activities provisions
within the CAO applies within shoreline areas. The buffers may be different in shoreline areas when the
SMP is adopted; but the allowed activities provisions would still apply.
Councilmember Johnson pointed out the interim ordinance was not discussed at the PPP Committee
meeting. Her preference was an expedited review by the Planning Board; it was possible it could be
completed in the next four weeks.
Councilmember Bloom clarified her understanding of Mr. Lien's explanation was that BAS was not
applied in the language of the CAO. Mr. Lien explained the BAS report talks about development and
redevelopment within the developed footprint. The developed footprint can be considered the impervious
area. When written into the critical area regulations, the language was changed to alterations to existing
structures within the developed footprint.
Councilmember Bloom asked if the State required the CAO to be consistent with other jurisdictions. Mr.
Lien answered unlike the SMP which the State approves, the State does not approve critical area
regulations. Critical area regulations must be developed in accordance with BAS. When the code
language was drafted, "structures" was added which was not in the BAS report. Mr. Chave explained the
Department of Ecology's general approach is with regard to existing development, there is little that can
be expected to change, particularly in a city like Edmonds that is 96% developed. The approach in
Snohomish County, where there are extensive areas that are undeveloped, is different than the approach in
a city such as Edmonds. Edmonds' BAS report fits the circumstances in Edmonds; the focus in Edmonds
is enhancement such as improving runoff control or improving the existing buffer area in exchange for
allowing some additional development. Unfortunately, the code ultimately undermined that enhancement
capability by being overly restrictive with regard to the existing footprint by the use of the word
"structure."
In response to Councilmember Johnson's comment, Mr. Chave advised the Planning Board has a public
hearing scheduled on August 14. It is quite possible the Planning Board's recommendation will be
returned to the Council in August.

Councilmember Peterson was concerned with the impact on the City Park project and potential grant fund
deadlines if design percentages are not met. Public Works Director Phil Williams commented he has
talked with Ms. Hite about this issue. The concern is a consultant is actively working on the design; if that
work was shut down for 1-2 months, it could have an impact on the project delivery date. Another issue
Ms. Hite was concerned about was moving the project from its current location would result in the loss of
mature trees which she wanted to avoid. The current location seemed to be the optimum location but this
issue in the code arose. The sooner this issue is resolved, the better, in order to give the design consultant
the information they need to proceed.
Councilmember Peterson pointed out the aerial photograph on the City Park project example is the
current pad. He envisioned the new project may encroach further and likely cannot be resolved by moving
the footprint a few feet. Mr. Williams agreed the new feature will encroach into the buffer.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas preferred to have this reviewed by the Planning Board. As the project is
in design, she suggested it be designed so that it does not encroach into the critical area. She was
uncomfortable with unknown deadlines and rushing.
Councilmember Buckshnis advised she has seen the plans, has talked with Ms. Hite, and this is the best
location. She reiterated the issue is the language from the BAS report when it was transferred to the CAO.
With regard to the American Brewery silo, she pointed out both structures are physically separated and
functionally isolated from the marsh.
Councilmember Bloom observed the Council could adopt an interim ordinance tonight or next week. She
asked when the interim ordinance would be effective. Mr. Taraday answered it was up to the Council
when/if they wished to adopt an interim ordinance. A public hearing is not contemplated in advance of the
adoption of the interim ordinance; a public hearing is typically held within 60 days of the adoption of the
interim ordinance. The Council could adopt the interim ordinance tonight; it would take effect within 5
days of publication, typically 10 days after passage. Councilmember Bloom observed the matter is
already scheduled for a public hearing before the Planning Board.
Mayor Earling explained the intent was for the Council to adopt the interim ordinance next week as a
safety net in the event there was a delay in the Planning Board's review and recommendation. He relayed
concern that redesign would cost more time and money. Although Ms. Hite is on vacation, he suggested
Councilmembers email her any outstanding questions.
Councilmember Peterson referred to the interim ordinance the Council approved regarding the farmers
market. The Planning Board reviewed the ordinance and forwarded revisions to the Council. The interim
ordinance resulted in something better and without it, timing, contracts, etc. may not have been addressed.
The interim ordinance would ensure funds for a park project were not lost. He was willing to delay
approval of the interim ordinance until next week.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked what funds would be lost and when they would be lost.
Councilmember Peterson responded there was grant funding; if certain criteria are not met, the grant
funds can be lost. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if grant funds were in jeopardy of being lost.
Mr. Williams advised when a consultant is working on a design, if the location shifts, all the sheets must
be redone. Out of caution, the design would be shut down until the issues are resolved, creating delay and
there were costs associated with the delay. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked what that had to do
with grant funding. Mr. Williams advised any money spent on a design that has to be discarded and a new
design created was not using grant funds effectively.

Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to Councilmember Peterson's comment that grant funding
would be lost. She was concerned that was not accurate. Councilmember Peterson explained he asked if
grant funds would be lost; Ms. Hite was not here to answer that question. Councilmember Fraley-
Monillas agreed because Ms. Hite was not here, the Council did not have that information. Mr. Williams
explained if the design, funded by a grant, has to be redone, the additional cost likely would come from
City resources. He clarified grant funds would not be lost but they may need to be supplemented with
additional City funds.
With regard to BAS and physically separated and functionally isolated, Mr. Williams advised
development can be physically separated by distance but still be functionally connected; in the case of the
City Park project, the impervious parking lot and buildings functionally isolate the project
environmentally.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented Councilmembers are not park expects; Ms. Hite has worked on
the City Park project for over a year. The Council is being distracted by the examples and issues such as
moving the spray pad; the Council should not be micromanaging the project. She referred to revised
language in paragraph 3 of the proposed interim ordinance (Attachment A). She was prepared to pass the
interim ordinance next week. The goal was to ensure the language in the CAO was consistent with the
BAS report.
Councilmember Bloom supported voting on the interim ordinance next week. She asked for an
opportunity to review one of the definitions with Mr. Taraday before next week. She relayed her
understanding that it was not that grant funds were being lost, grant funds could be spent on a design that
later needed to be changed.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.
9. CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON INCORPORATING THE HARBOR SQUARE MASTER PLAN
INTO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
Council President Petso recalled this was discussed most recently at the Council mini retreat; Council
direction at that time was to bring it back to the Council in July. At that time the options presented by
City Attorney Jeff Taraday were to adopt the plan, change the plan or deny the plan; do nothing was not
presented as an option. She sought Council direction so that the next agenda item on this topic could read
Discussion and Potential Action on the Harbor Square Master Plan.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented a plan could not be adopted because a plan was in the process of
being created based on Council input, Exhibit 2. The Council was in the process of reviewing Exhibit 3,
the Planning Board recommendation and how the issues had been addressed in Exhibit 2.
Before the Council moved on with their consideration of Exhibit 3, Council President Petso asked
whether the Council can adopt the original Port Master Plan by majority vote or has that plan been
denied. City Attorney Jeff Taraday's recollection of prior Council action was the plan had not been
denied; none of the motions to approve or deny passed. Council President Petso relayed her
understanding that the original Port Master Plan could be adopted by a majority vote of the Council. Mr.
Taraday agreed.
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out the Port Master Plan has been withdrawn so there is no plan. Mr.
Taraday agreed the plan was withdrawn but the Port's withdrawal of the application does not prevent the
Council from continuing to process the Harbor Square Master Plan; it also does not foreclose the
possibility of the Council adopting exactly what the Port proposed. Even though the Port has withdrawn
their application, the Port began a legislative process by applying for a Comprehensive Plan amendment;

divisions did not previously meet on a regular basis to discuss projects; they do now. A group of staff
members have held 12 meetings over the last 7-8 months to develop a series of recommendations.
Mayor Earling distributed information that includes a memorandum from him with his recommendations,
a memo from Mr. Williams regarding the process and a matrix with tasks, purpose/general information,
and status. A series of improvements have been made by Planning, Building and Engineering in the past
several months to improve the flow of work. There is a sense of camaraderie, working together and
understanding of their common mission. At the forefront of that has been Rob Chave. Mr. Chave has
done a fabulous job in his role as Acting Development Services Director. With the quality of Mr. Chave's
work and interdisciplinary cooperation, Mayor Earling recommended a direct appointment of Mr. Chave
as permanent Development Services Director. Mr. Chave is comfortable taking on the director position as
well as a fair amount of the Planning Manager role.
Mayor Earling relayed his recommendation also includes establishing a new position for Kernen Lien to
assume a portion of the Planning Manager's work. Mr. Lien is comfortable and enthusiastic about the
opportunity to explore a new responsibility. He provided the following cost comparison:
Mayor's Recommendation
• Salary increase costs: $23,000 - $27,000
(includes benefits)
• Total cost: $23,000 - $27,000
Newly Created Director Position
• Salary & benefits costs: $184,000
• Search costs: $20,000
• Total cost: $204,000
Mayor Earling explained initial projections indicate there may be an additional $600,000 for allocation;
the $204,000 cost of a newly created director position would substantially reduce that amount. He
explained his preliminary 2014 budget will include some one-time costs such as security issues in the IT
department at a cost of $50,000 - $70,000. Mayor Earling reiterated Mr. Chave and Mr. Lien have done
and will continue to do fabulous work. He looked forward to their direct appointments.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked when Mayor Earling wanted the Council to approve/disapprove
his proposal. Mayor Earling preferred to move it along as expeditiously as possible such as September or
October. Because of the lower dollar amount, it would have considerably less impact on the budget.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked how the senior planner's workload would be addressed. She noted Leif
Bjorback had done a great job in the Building Official position. Mayor Earling responded Mr. Chave is
comfortable with assuming the director position and a portion of the planning manager. Mr. Lien is
comfortable with assuming a small amount of the planning manager's duties. In addition, a planner who
was on maternity leave returned two weeks ago. Due to increased workloads, he likely will propose
utilizing contract staff on an as -needed basis in the amount of $20,000 - $30,000. That will be included as
part of the 2014 budget.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
REFER THIS TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND PERSONNEL COMMITTEE AND THE
FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR CONSIDERATION IN LIGHT OF THE NEW INFORMATION
THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY MAYOR EARLING THIS EVENING. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
8. POTENTIAL ACTION REGARDING A PROPOSED INTERIM ORDINANCE / CRITICAL
AREAS 'ALLOWED ACTIVITIES' PROVISIONS
Senior Planner Kernen Lien explained the critical area regulations are not completely consistent with the
Best Available Science (BAS) report that was prepared as part of the Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO)
update in 2004, particularly in regard to allowed activities. Allowed activities are activities that can occur
within a critical area or critical area buffer. Allowed activities can be conditioned, but must use best
management practices and must not degrade associated critical area. Examples include utility

Exhibit 5
maintenance, activities within the improved right-of-way, and alterations to structures that do not increase
the "footprint of development." The footprint of development is the inconsistency between the CAO and
BAS report.
The idea of development or redevelopment within the developed footprint was discussed in the BAS
report. The BAS report noted the vast majority of the city (96%) is already developed and that future
growth will be concentrated in the redevelopment of existing parcels. The BAS report noted the challenge
for the CAO is providing opportunities to improve conditions around critical areas in the long term while
allowing reasonable redevelopment. The BAS concluded the main route to improving critical areas and
their buffers was to require buffer enhancement in exchange for allowing development and
redevelopment within the existing footprint of development. When the critical areas regulations were
written, the inclusion of "existing structures" in the allowed activities section has consequences counter to
the BAS report which referred to development within the developed footprint.
Mr. Lien recalled two projects that are impacted by this inconsistency were highlighted last week
including the American Brewery Silo and the City Park project. He provided information in an email
from Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite describing how the critical areas regulations impacted the
City Park project:
• Holding off on 60% design
• Budget could be impacted by further delay
• Shifting the project to the south would result in the removal of three large trees
• Waiting for an expedited review pushes the project back further and would not open next summer
• Grant requires the project be completed by August 2014
Mr. Lien highlighted the proposed changes to the CAO in the interim ordinance to bring the current CAO
into compliance with BAS:
• Development proposal within the footprint of development ECDC 23.40.220.C.3, ECDC
23.50.020.E
• Definitions ECDC 23.40.320 impervious surface and footprint of development
• Physically separated and functionally isolated ECDC 23.50.040.H, ECDC 23.90.040.D.4.c
• Wetland enhancement ECDC 23.50.040.J
He advised this is scheduled for a public hearing at the Planning Board next Wednesday.
Council President Petso referred to Mr. Lien's comments regarding the inconsistency with BAS with
regard to structures. The interim ordinance also changes physically separated and functionally isolated;
she asked whether there was any inconsistency with regard to that or was it simply an add -on. Mr. Lien
answered it is not just an add -on; it is a continuation of the previously developed footprint. If a developed
area is separated from the critical area and critical area buffer by development, allowing development on
the opposite site is similar to allowing development in the previously developed footprint.
Council President Petso observed it would allow development outside the previously developed footprint.
Mr. Lien answered as proposed it would allow development in an area that is physically and functionally
isolated; that would be determined by a critical areas expert. In the park example, there is a parking lot
and a road between what is proposed in the critical area. That area does not provide any benefit to the
critical area or enhancement to the buffer area as it is separated by previous development. Council
President Petso pointed out that area is not currently 100% impervious surface; there is a lot of grass and
trees. Mr. Lien explained it is physically and functionally separated by imperious surface. Council
President Petso agreed but said it is not impervious surface, yet the proposed change would allow it to
become 100% impervious surface. Mr. Lien answered yes, if a critical areas expert determines it is
physically and functionally isolated and would not have any impact on the critical area.
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes

Council President Petso referred to things that constitute physically and functionally isolated such as the
railroad tracks between homes and Puget Sound or a road such as in City Park. She asked if something as
small as a trail or a small rock retaining wall could constitute physically and functionally isolated. Mr.
Lien reiterated that would be determined by a qualified professional. Something as small as a trail would
not; trails are an allowed activity within a critical area buffer and generally are smaller and not
impervious surfaces. Things that physically separate and functionally isolate are typically larger such as
roads. Another example would be a house constructed in a stream buffer; if the homeowner wanted to add
onto the house on the opposite site of the stream, the house would physically separate development from
the critical area.
Unlike the other examples that would be within the existing developed footprint, Council President Petso
observed the City Park project could expand the existing impervious surface. Mr. Lien agreed it could if it
was physically and functionally isolated. With regard to the developed footprint, Council President Petso
recalled there was some discussion about attempting to cure the sins of the past. If the existing developed
footprint was a parking lot, a parking lot could be reconstructed with pervious pavement to enhance the
wetland; with the proposed change to allow structures, she asked if there would be any opportunity to
reduce the effect of past development. Mr. Lien answered as the code is written, enhancement is still an
important part. The BAS report and code language allow development within the previously developed
area in exchange for enhancement. The code allows activity if it, a) does not increase the footprint of the
development beyond the legally established footprint, b) does not increase the impact to the critical area
and/or buffer, c) does not increase the total impervious surface area of the site, and d) does not increase
the risk to life or property as a result of the development proposal, and e) includes measures to enhance
the critical areas. The code allows development in this area in exchange for enhancement. Council
President Petso asked who decides if the enhancement is proportionate to the expansion of impervious
surface or structure. Mr. Lien answered within critical areas, a qualified professional makes that
determination; a wetland expert for a wetland and a stream biologist for a stream.
If the changes are not made, Council President Petso asked whether a variance process with a decision by
the Hearing Examiner would be required. Mr. Lien answered people are not encouraged to pursue a
variance because the variance criteria are very strict. The proposed changes are to bring the code into
consistency with BAS. The variance process is a last resort when there is nothing that can be done to fit
the code but the development should go forward.
Council President Petso recalled a statement in last week's packet that it would be illegal to mitigate for
the City Park project. Mr. Lien referred to the issue outline memo that contained an excerpt from an email
from Ms. Hite, "Mitigate the development within the buffer, which has been determined by Planning isn't
legal" which he felt was a "lost in translation comment." Staff informed Ms. Hite that it does not fall
within allowed activities, in planning -speak, that becomes it is not legal. Council President Petso asked
whether the spray pad could be constructed and the impacts mitigated. Mr. Lien answered as far as
allowed activities, no. He did not anticipate the spray park would meet all the variance criteria; one of the
criteria is "can it can be constructed someplace else." The project can be moved to the south and three
large, healthy trees removed. Ms. Hite has also indicated there are time constraints; the standard time for a
variance process is 3-4 months. He reiterated the proposed changes are to bring the code into consistency
with the BAS report.
Councilmember Peterson asked if the City was vulnerable to legal action if the CAO was in conflict with
the BAS report. Mr. Taraday stated legally they are required to be consistent under the GMA. The time to
challenge that would be at the time of adoption of the CAO; therefore, it may be too late for a challenge.
Councilmember Peterson pointed out BAS is science and that does not change regardless of the CAO.
Councilmember Buckshnis stated the proposed change is to bring the CAO into compliance with the BAS
report. She noted Council President Petso is throwing in the issue of no net loss which has nothing to do
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes

Packet Page 91 of 346
with this. Without the proposed change, the City Park project will be moved south and three healthy trees
removed. She objected to the Council micromanaging staff's work, reiterating the City Park project is
physically separated and functionally isolated.
Council President Petso asked what part of the physically separated and functionally isolated criteria
conflicts with BAS with regard to redevelopment in the existing footprint. Mr. Lien answered no net loss
is one of the criteria in BAS as well. The idea behind allowing development in a previously developed
area is it results in no net loss because it is already an area that has been developed and it allows an
opportunity for enhancement. With regard to physically separated and functionally isolated, the tie to
BAS is this area is separated from the critical area by an area that has been previously developed. That
determination is made by a qualified professional.
Council President Petso asked how this was not consistent with the current BAS. Mr. Lien answered it is
not in the code at all; the concept is contained in BAS. Council President Petso recalled BAS allows
development within the existing footprint. Mr. Lien explained the conflict between the CAO and BAS
report is related to how BAS characterizes this issue with the city being developed and development
within previously developed areas as an opportunity for enhancement.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether adoption of an interim ordinance was necessary tonight when the
Planning Board is holding a public hearing next week. Mr. Lien referred to the comments from Ms. Hite,
pointing out even an expedited review process by the Planning Board pushes the City Park project out to
the point it will not be completed by next summer and there are issues associated with the August 2014
grant deadline. Councilmember Bloom asked if that would be the case if the Planning Board returned it to
the Council at the August 21 meeting. Mayor Earling pointed out although a public hearing is scheduled,
the Planning Board may not reach a conclusion at next week's meeting. Mr. Lien pointed out a public
hearing must also be held by the Council which requires notice.
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER YAMAMOTO,
TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 3935, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, ADOPTING AN INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE
CRITICAL AREAS ORDINANCE, SPECIFICALLY SECTIONS ECDC 23.40.220, 23.40.320,
23.50.020, 23.50.040, AND 23.90.040, TO ALLOW DEVELOPMENT WITHIN LEGALLY
ESTABLISHED IMPERVIOUS AREAS AND WITHIN BUFFER AREAS THAT ARE
PHYSICALLY SEPARATED AND FUNCTIONALLY ISOLATED FROM AN ASSOCIATED
CRITICAL AREA.
Council President Petso pointed out the agenda memo states footprint of already developed areas;
physically separated and functionally isolated allows a great deal more impervious surfaces to be added.
If that happened for example upstream from Perrinville Creek where efforts are underway to control
flows to protect habitat, it would be a problem. She did not support the motion as she did not find enough
incentive to rush and she viewed the proposed change as an enormous expansion beyond the footprint of
already developed areas.
Councilmember Buckshnis expressed support for the motion. She was uncertain what part of Perrinville
Council President Petso was referring to. She pointed out there are other avenues to protect critical areas.
Councilmember Peterson referred to Mr. Lien's statement that if development occurs, there would need to
be approval by a certified professional. The idea that the other side would be 100% impervious surface
was a bit of a stretch.
Councilmember Johnson did not support the motion. There was no mention of an interim ordinance when
this issue was presented to the Parks, Planning & Public Works Committee in July. The committee
recommended it be referred to the Planning Board; the last Planning Board meeting was canceled. She
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes

Packet Page 92 of 346
was confident in the Planning Board's ability to review the matter and preferred an expedited review at
the Planning Board. She suggested there would be time to consider an interim ordinance after learning
more about the City Park project.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION CARRIED (4-3), COUNCILMEMBERS BLOOM, YAMAMOTO,
BUCKSHNIS, AND PETERSON VOTING YES; AND COUNCILMEMBERS JOHNSON AND
FRALEY-MONILLAS AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETSO VOTING NO.
(Councilmember Yamamoto discontinued his participation in the Council meeting via telephone.)
9. CONTINUED DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON INCORPORATING THE HARBOR
SQUARE MASTER PLAN INTO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
Council President Petso recalled a majority of the Council approved a motion last week to continue
discussion of Exhibit 3. Mr. Lien provided history regarding Exhibit 3:
• February 5, 2013 Council asked staff to prepare a staff version of the Harbor Square Master Plan.
• Staff drafted Exhibits 2 and Exhibit 3.
o Exhibit 3 is an issue table outlining the issues raised by Council during and following the
public hearing process and identifies how they are addressed in Exhibit 2.
• March 19 and 26 City Council reviewed the issue table and planned to continue discussion of the
Planning Board recommendations at the April 16 meeting.
• Prior to April 16 meeting, Port withdrew their application
• Council has been contemplating how to proceed
• July 30 a motion was made to continue discussion on the issue table and how the Planning
Board's recommendations were incorporated into Exhibit 2
Councilmember Johnson requested Mr. Lien provide a summary of the Planning Board's
recommendations. Mr. Lien explained the Planning Board made 14 specific recommendations. Some did
not carry over to the draft Master Plan (Exhibit 2) because they were no longer relevant. He reviewed the
Planning Board's recommendations and how they were incorporated into Exhibit 2:
1. Building heights shall be limited to 45 feet and consideration may be given for heights up to 55
feet if the development proposal includes significant public amenities and/or sustainable design
certification such as LEED Platinum. Exhibit 2 no longer references specific building heights and
55 feet was removed. There is discussion regarding incentive zoning.
2. Development proposals should place the tallest buildings towards the south and west boundaries
of the property. With a base height of 35 feet, the condition is less relevant. If during a
subsequent rezone public amenities are provided and a height bonus granted, design and location
of the taller building will be addressed at that time.
3. Buildings along Dayton Street should be limited to 35 feet in height. Exhibit 2 establishes a base
height of 35 feet for the entire site.
4. Development plans shall ensure that the Public View Corridor down Dayton Street is preserved
and enhanced. Language from that condition was added to page 3 of Exhibit 2.
5. On page 5 of the Harbor Square Master Plan under "Circulation, Traffic and Parking", an
additional sentence should be added to read: "The absence of available off -site parking requires
that adequate parking allowance be made to accommodate all customer, employee and resident
vehicles during peak use times. " This issue was not addressed in whole in Exhibit 2; the parking
issue is driving by the development code and could be addressed via a development agreement.
6. At the bottom of page 9 of the Harbor Square Master Plan, the exception to the 55 foot height
limit for special architectural features such as a tower, sculpture, etc. should be deleted. The 55
foot height limit has been removed from Exhibit 2.
7. In the graphic "Schematic Section through Harbor Square Looking West" on page 10, the
annotation as to "setback" above 35 feet along Dayton Street should be revised to "building step
back". The schematic was removed from Exhibit 2.

Councilmember Peterson agreed with postponing this item. He was glad it had been scheduled on the
agenda and materials included for Council review. He advised Councilmember Bloom, Ms. Hite and he
found several excellent examples of Codes of Ethic and Codes of Conduct. Kirkland and Bellevue's code
are nearly identical and likely will be used as a starting point. He suggested Councilmembers familiarize
themselves with Kirkland and Bellevue's codes.
Postponing this item was also acceptable to Councilmember Bloom. She requested Councilmembers
review Kirkland and Bellevue's policies, noting there are a few significant differences. She pointed out
the intent to have an Ethic's Officer.
Councilmember Johnson asked about the fiscal impact of an Ethics Officer. Councilmember Peterson
responded Kirkland has an Ethics Officer and they contact with a law firm. To date they have not had to
utilize their services; the law firm is on standby in the event an issue arises.
Councilmember Bloom noted Kirkland and Bellevue have a City Manager form of government. The
references in their Code of Ethics to elected officials do not include the Mayor.
Councilmember Buckshnis was concerned with the issue of subjectivity. She recalled former
Councilmember Plunkett's concern about the subjectivity of some policies. She noted there are state laws
related to ethics for Councilmembers. She commented on new behaviors she has seen this year,
recognizing that people see things differently based on their backgrounds.
It was agreed to postpone this to a future meeting.
13. PROPOSAL TO RESCIND ORDINANCE NO. 3935 - AN INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE TO
AMEND THE CRITICAL AREAS ORDINANCE, SPECIFICALLY SECTIONS ECDC 23.40.220,
23.40.320, 23.50.020, 23.50.040 AND 23.90.040, TO ALLOW DEVELOPMENT WITHIN LEGALLY
ESTABLISHED IMPERVIOUS AREAS AND WITHIN BUFFER AREAS THAT ARE
PHYSICALLY SEPARATED AND FUNCTIONALLY ISOLATED FROM AN ASSOCIATED
CRITICAL AREA
Councilmember Bloom explained when she reviewed the issue more carefully, she apologized to the
Planning Board for sending the matter to them prematurely. Her concerns are related to the structure
language versus development footprint as well as physically separated and functionally isolated. The
language defines legally established structures or similar circumstances and suggested if something was
functionally isolated and physically separated it did not serve to protect the wetland from adverse impacts
of development. The question then arises if it does not protect the wetland from adverse impacts of
development, can enhancement be enforced. She pointed out physically separated and functionally
isolated are not clearly defined and impervious surfaces are too broadly defined and include gravel roads
as well as compacted surfaces. In addition the enhancements are not clearly defined. Mr. Chave indicated
to her that he preferred to wait until 2015 to clarify the enhancements.
Councilmember Bloom was concerned that rushing to pass the ordinance due to two projects could
possibly result in unintended consequences. In particular functionally isolated and physically separated
could affect numerous properties in the City, not just the spray park. For those reasons, she reconsidered
her vote and asked for this to be scheduled on the agenda. She suggested the Council rescind the
ordinance and bring back the amendments at a future meeting as soon as possible.
COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETSO, TO
RESCIND ORDINANCE NO.3935.
Councilmember Buckshnis expressed concern with the lack of transparency on this item. When she left
Friday, the packet did not include this item. The discussion occurred between two Councilmembers and
Packet Page 94 of 346
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
August 20, 2013
Page 14
Exhibit 6
the City Attorney. This was an issue for the Planning Board to consider. She emphasized the intent of the
original ordinance was for the code to reflect Best Available Science as it relates to structures. Repealing
the ordinance will potentially cost the City time and money and will affect the timing of the spray park.
Councilmember Peterson did not support the motion. There were open and frank discussions previously
and a great deal of information presented on two separate occasions. Sometimes Councilmembers may
not be happy with the end result of the process but the Council followed the proper process. Unless there
were extenuating circumstances that the Council had not been made aware of, he did not see a reason to
rescind the ordinance. He suggested Councilmembers respect the process and even if they disagreed or
wanted a redo, it was not always the best course of action.
Council President Petso commented on the process, pointed out this was the Council's first opportunity
under Roberts Rules to rescind a motion. She explained when Councilmember Bloom indicated her
interest in changing her vote, she consulted Roberts Rules and followed the procedure. That procedure
includes notice of the intent to rescind in the meeting notice which was done on Friday. There was still
time to amend the agenda on Friday and City Clerk Sandy Chase created the amended agenda Friday
afternoon. She has been working with Mr. Lien and Ms. Hite on the topic and Councilmember Bloom has
been meeting with staff. She mentioned the topic to at least two other Councilmembers in conversation.
Everyone is working hard to do this right without messing up the spray park project. It may be that the
projects costs more money or needs to be redesigned or that the Council cannot wait for the Planning
Board's expedited review and staff returns with a different proposal. The motion to rescind the interim
ordinance does not stop the Council or staff from working on the issue or the Planning Board from
working on a permanent ordinance. Rescinding the ordinance will stop applications and give the Council
and Planning Board more time to work with staff. She noted paving within critical area buffers is a big
deal and the City must proceed carefully. She was happy with the effort to follow the process under
Robert Rules. She will support the motion to rescind the interim ordinance.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether a motion to reconsider or rescind was appropriate. City
Attorney Jeff Taraday answered there is a Roberts Rules process to place the matter on the agenda. To the
question of how to repeal an ordinance, Mr. Taraday explained an ordinance is repealed via the adoption
of another ordinance. To the extent a majority of the Council desires to repeal the ordinance, there is an
ordinance on the City's Z drive that would accomplish that. The proper motion to undo the interim
ordinance is a motion to approve the ordinance to repeal.
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out Councilmember Bloom's motion was to rescind the motion. Mr.
Taraday explained rescind is the Roberts Rules term and repeal is the RCW term. He preferred the
Council use the term repeal. He interpreted the motion to be to repeal the motion. If the motion is
interpreted as a motion to adopt an ordinance that repeals the interim ordinance, that ordinance should be
presented to the Council.
Councilmember Bloom explained her intent was to repeal the ordinance that was passed two weeks ago
and ask staff to return with an amended ordinance. Mr. Taraday summarized the options:
1. Do nothing
2. Repeal the interim ordinance adopted on August 6
3. Amend the interim ordinance adopted on August 6 (two versions available)
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out the interim ordinance addressed making the critical areas
ordinance consistent with BAS. The discussion now is adding more teeth to the new ordinance. Mr.
Taraday clarified the motion on the floor is to repeal the August 6 interim ordinance.
Council President Petso asked whether the preferred action would be a motion to adopt the ordinance in
the packet that effectively repeals the interim ordinance. If the Council's intent is to repeal the August 6
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
August 20, 2013
Page 15
Packet Page 95 of 346
interim ordinance, Mr. Taraday recommended a Councilmember move the ordinance displayed on the
screen. He summarized repealing an ordinance requires adoption of an ordinance that repeals the original
ordinance.
COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM WITHDREW HER MOTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OF THE
SECOND.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 3940, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, REPEALING INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 3935, WHICH AMENDED THE
CRITICAL AREAS ORDINANCE, SPECIFICALLY SECTIONS EDC 23.40.220, 23.40.320,
23.50.040 AND 23.90.040, TO ALLOW DEVELOPMENT WITHIN LEGALLY ESTABLISHED
IMPERVIOUS AREAS AND WITHIN BUFFER AREAS THAT ARE PHYSICALLY
SEPARATED AND FUNCTIONALLY ISOLATED FROM AN ASSOCIATED CRITICAL AREA.
Recognizing this may be the proper process in Roberts Rules, Councilmember Peterson pointed out the
Council is voting on an ordinance that neither they nor the citizens of Edmonds have seen before now and
that did not satisfy his desire for transparency and public process.
Councilmember Bloom took issue with Councilmember Peterson's reference to transparency, relaying
that this was a transparent process. Under Roberts Rules, a Councilmember has the option to change their
mind which is what she did. She spent a great deal of time talking to staff as well as spoke to the Planning
Board. She relayed Mr. Lien's indication that the interim ordinance could potentially allow an increase in
impervious surface in wetland buffers in other parts of the City. She did not understand why
Councilmember Peterson did not feel this was a transparent process when everything had been done to
make it transparent. The interim ordinance came to the Council without approval of the Parks, Planning
and Public Works (PPP) Committee; the committee recommended it go directly to the Planning Board.
When it was presented to the Council, an interim ordinance was proposed. Her primary concern was
making changes of this degree to the critical areas ordinance without fully considering the unintended
consequences that may result. She found Councilmember Peterson's comments that it was not transparent
very offensive, pointing out this is as transparent as it gets.
Councilmember Peterson appreciated that it was transparent to Councilmember Bloom because she had
been working on it for the last several days. He has not; this is the first time he has seen it. The interim
ordinance was considered over two meetings so that staff could provide additional information. If this had
not been done at the last minute, he still would not support it because he believed in the action the
Council took previously. One of the reasons he did not support the motion was while Councilmember
Bloom, Council President Petso and Mr. Taraday have done a lot of work and talked with staff, he was
not briefed on it and there was nothing in the packet. The last minute nature of this item raised his
concern with transparency. If this had been scheduled on the agenda and he had time to have his questions
answered, that would be transparent. He summarized it has been transparent for a few but not all.
Councilmember Bloom pointed out it had been on the agenda since Friday. Councilmember Peterson
responded there was no supporting documentation in the packet. What the Council is voting on was not
included in the packet.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained after the PPP Committee meeting forwarded the issue to the
Planning Board, President Petso decided to bring it to full Council. This is an interim ordinance; it is on a
fast track for review by the Planning Board. She objected to repealing ordinances on the fly, preferring to
wait for the Planning Board's review. She preferred to allow the spray park project to proceed,
commenting this will impact the timing, budget and scope of that project.

COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. MOTION FAILED
FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Council President Petso said the PPP Committee forwarded this matter to the Planning Board without
coming to full Council. The first the Council heard of it was during reports on committee meetings. Some
people were uncomfortable with the two committee members making the decision to send it to the
Planning Board so she made a decision to include it as a discussion item on a Council agenda. When it
was scheduled, it was no longer a discussion item but included an interim ordinance. She asked the City
Clerk to remove the interim ordinance from the agenda. During the discussion item, staff indicated they
would present an interim ordinance the following week. At that meeting, the Council voted 4-3 to approve
the interim ordinance. One member of the four person majority changed her mind and followed the
correct procedure to bring it back to the Council.

WHEREAS, the City's critical areas ordinance (CAO) was developed based on `best available
science' (BAS); and
WHEREAS, the BAS assessment concluded that because the city was mostly developed, the
main route to improving critical areas and their buffers was to require buffer enhancement in exchange for

and
WHEREAS, it was intended that this approach would be reflected in the City's adopted CAO;
WHEREAS, the relationship of an allowed activity to the "footprint of development" was
directly related to the BAS discussion noted above, but the language also includes the phrase "existing
structures" which conflicts with the general concept of connecting allowable development activity to the
"footprint of development;" and

23.40.220 Allowed activities.
A. Critical Area Report. Activities allowed under this title shall have been reviewed
and permitted or approved by the city of Edmonds or other agency with jurisdiction,
but do not require submittal of a critical area report, unless such submittal was
required previously for the underlying permit. The director may apply conditions to
the underlying permit or approval to ensure that the allowed activity is consistent
with the provisions of this title to protect critical areas.
B. Required Use of Best Management Practices. All allowed activities shall be
conducted using the best management practices that result in the least amount of
impact to the critical areas. Best management practices shall be used for tree and
vegetation protection, construction management, erosion and sedimentation
control, water quality protection, and regulation of chemical applications. The city
may observe or require independent inspection of the use of best management
practices to ensure that the activity does not result in degradation to the critical
area. Any incidental damage to, or alteration of, a critical area shall be restored,
rehabilitated, or replaced at the responsible party's expense.
C. Allowed Activities. The following activities are allowed:
1. Permit Requests Subsequent to Previous Critical Areas Review. Development
permits and approvals that involve both discretionary land use approvals (such as
subdivisions, rezones, or conditional use permits) and construction approvals (such
as building permits) if all of the following conditions have been met:
a. The provisions of this title have been previously addressed as part of another
approval;
b. There have been no material changes in the potential impact to the critical area or
buffer since the prior review;
c. The permit or approval has not expired or, if no expiration date, no more than five
years have elapsed since the issuance of that permit or approval; and
d. Compliance with any standards or conditions placed upon the prior permit or
approval has been achieved or secured;
2. Modification to Structures Existing Outside of Critical Areas and/or Buffers.
Structural modification of, addition to, or replacement of a legally constructed
structure existing outside of a critical area or its buffer that does not further alter or
increase the impact to the critical area or buffer and there is no increased risk to life
or property as a result of the proposed modification or replacement;

e. itzcludes measures to enhance the critical area and/or buffer in a way that
improves its function and value.
(ads Additions or expansions to legally constructed structures existing within
a critical area and or buffer that do increase the existin-g-legally established
footprint of development shall be subject to and permitted in accordance with the
development standards of the associated critical area type (see, era.. ECDC 23.50.040
and 23.90.040)). This provi subsection C.3 shall be interpreted to supplement
the provisions of the Edmonds Community Development Code relating to
nonconforming structures in order to permit the full reconstruction and or
redevelopment of a legal nonconforming building structure within its footprint;
4. Activities Within the Improved Right -of -Way. Replacement, modification,
installation, or construction of utility facilities, lines, pipes, mains, equipment, or
appurtenances, when such facilities are located within the improved portion of the
public right-of-way or a city -authorized private roadway;
S. Minor Utility Projects. Utility projects that have minor or short -duration impacts
to critical areas, as determined by the director in accordance with the criteria below,
and which do not significantly impact the function or values of a critical area(s);

the wetland and other critical areas.
B. Activities and uses shall be prohibited in wetlands and wetland buffers, except as
provided for in this title.
C. Category 1 Wetlands. Activities and uses shall be prohibited from Category 1
wetlands, except as provided for in the public agency and utility exception,
reasonable use exception, and variance sections of this title.
D. Category 2 Wetlands. With respect to activities proposed in Category 2 wetlands,

Packet Page 110 of 346
Attachment A to Ord. 3935
E. Category 3 and 4 Wetlands. Activities and uses that result in unavoidable and
necessary impacts may be permitted in Category 3 and 4 wetlands and associated
buffers in accordance with an approved critical areas report and mitigation plan.
F. Wetland Buffers.
1. Standard Buffer Widths. The standard buffer widths presume the existence of a
relatively intact native vegetation community in the buffer zone adequate to protect
the wetland functions and values at the time of the proposed activity. If the
vegetation is inadequate, then, at the discretion of the director, the buffer width may
be increased or an applicant may be required to develop and implement a wetland
buffer enhancement plan to maintain the standard width (see subsection (F) (3) of
this section). Required standard wetland buffers, based on wetland category, are as
follows:
a. Category 1: 200 feet;
b. Category 2: 100 feet;
c. Category 3: 50 feet;
d. Category 4: 35 feet.
2. Increased Wetland Buffer Widths. The director shall require increased buffer
widths in accordance with the recommendations of an experienced, qualified
professional wetland scientist and the best available science on a case -by -case basis
when a larger buffer is necessary to protect wetland functions and values based on
site -specific characteristics. This determination shall be based on one or more of the
following criteria:
a. A larger buffer is needed to protect other critical areas;
b. The buffer or adjacent uplands has a slope greater than 15 percent or is
susceptible to erosion and standard erosion control measures will not prevent
adverse impacts to the wetland; or
c. The buffer area has minimal vegetative cover. In lieu of increasing the buffer
width where existing buffer vegetation is inadequate to protect the wetland
functions and values, development and implementation of a wetland buffer
enhancement plan in accordance with subsection (F) (3) of this section may
substitute.
3. Buffer Width Reductions Through Buffer Enhancement. At the discretion of the
Edmonds development services director, wetland buffer width reductions (or
approval of standard buffer widths for wetlands where existing buffer conditions
require increased buffer widths) may be granted concomitant to the development
and implementation of a wetland buffer enhancement plan for Category 3 and 4
wetlands only. Approval of a wetland buffer enhancement plan shall, at the
discretion of the director, allow for wetland buffer width reductions to no less than
50 percent of the standard width; provided, that:
a. The plan provides evidence that wetland functions and values will be increased or
retained through plan implementation to at least the level provided by a standard
buffer or through additional mitigation;
b. The plan documents existing native plant densities and provides for increases in
buffer native plant densities to no less than three feet on center for shrubs and eight
feet on center for trees;
i Attachment A to Ord. 3935
Packet Page 111 of 346
Attachment A to Ord. 3935
c. The plan requires monitoring and maintenance to ensure success in accordance
with ECDC 23.40.130(D); and
d. The plan specifically documents methodology and provides performance
standards for assessing increases in wetland buffer functioning as related to:
i. Water quality protection;
ii. Provision of wildlife habitat;
iii. Maintenance of wetland hydrology; and
iv. Restricting wetland intrusion and disturbance.
4. Wetland Buffer Width Averaging. The director may allow modification of a
standard or reduced wetland buffer width in accordance with an approved critical
areas report and the best available science on a case -by -case basis by averaging
buffer widths. Only those portions of a wetland buffer existing within the project
area or subject parcel shall be considered the total standard or reduced buffer for
buffer averaging. Averaging of buffer widths may only be allowed where a qualified
professional wetland scientist demonstrates that:
a. It will not reduce the function and value of wetlands or associated buffers;
b. The wetland contains variations in sensitivity due to existing physical
characteristics or the character of the buffer varies in slope, soils, or vegetation, and
the wetland would benefit from a wider buffer in places and would not be adversely
impacted by a narrower buffer in other places;
c. The total area contained in the buffer area, or the total buffer area existing on a
subject parcel for wetlands extending off -site, after averaging is no less than that
which would be contained within a standard or reduced buffer; and
d. The buffer width at any single location is not reduced to less than 50 percent of
the standard or reduced buffer width.
5. Measurement of Wetland Buffers. All buffers shall be measured from the wetland
boundary as surveyed in the field. The buffer for a wetland created, restored, or
enhanced as compensation for approved wetland alterations shall be the same as
the buffer required for the category of the created, restored, or enhanced wetland.
6. Buffer Consistency. All mitigation sites shall have buffers consistent with the
buffer requirements of this chapter.
7. Buffer Maintenance. Except as otherwise specified or allowed in accordance with
this title, wetland buffers shall be retained in an undisturbed or enhanced condition.
Removal of invasive nonnative weeds is required for the duration of the mitigation
bond.
8. Buffer Uses. The following uses may be permitted within a wetland buffer in
accordance with the review procedures of this title; provided, they are not
prohibited by any other applicable law and they are conducted in a manner so as to
minimize impacts to the buffer and adjacent wetland:

1. Temporary Markers. The outer perimeter of the wetland or buffer and the limits
of those areas to be disturbed pursuant to an approved permit or authorization shall
be marked in the field in such a way as to ensure that no unauthorized intrusion will
occur and is subject to inspection by the director prior to the commencement of
permitted activities. The director may require the use of fencing to protect wetlands
from disturbance and intrusion. Temporary marking shall be maintained
throughout construction and shall not be removed until permanent signs, if
required, are in place.
2. Permanent Signs. As a condition of any permit or authorization issued pursuant to
this chapter, the director may require the applicant to install permanent signs along
the boundary of a wetland or buffer.
a. Permanent signs shall be made of an enamel -coated metal face and attached to a
metal post or another nontreated material of equal durability. Signs must be posted
at an interval of one per lot or every 50 feet, whichever is less, and must be
maintained by the property owner in perpetuity. The sign shall be worded as
follows or with alternative language approved by the director:

established structures, or similar circumstances;
b. are functionally isolated from the associated wetland: and
c. as a result of a and b, above, do not serve to protect the wetland from adverse
impacts of development. A critical area report prepared by a qualified professional
is required to determine whether subsections a and b are satisfied.
Additions to legally constructed structures existing within wetlands or wetland
buffers that cannot be accommodated in accordance with the above sequencing (i.e.,
additions proposed within a wetland or the inner 25 percent of a standard buffer
width) may be permitted at the director's discretion as a variance subject to review
by the city hearing examiner and the provisions of ECDC 23.40.210.
I. Exemptions. The director may allow isolated Category 3 or 4 wetlands under 500
square feet in area to be exempt from the provisions of this title. A wetland

' Attachment A to Ord. 3935
1. No development shall be allowed within a fish and wildlife habitat conservation
area or buffer with which state or federally endangered, threatened, or sensitive
species have a primary association, except that which is provided for by a
management plan established by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
or applicable state or federal agency.
2. Whenever activities are proposed adjacent to a fish and wildlife habitat
conservation area with which state or federally endangered, threatened, or sensitive
species have a primary association, such area shall be protected through the
application of protection measures in accordance with a critical areas report
prepared by a qualified professional and approved by the director. Approval for
alteration of land adjacent to the fish and wildlife habitat conservation area or its
buffer shall not occur prior to consultation with the Washington Department of Fish
and Wildlife for animal species, the Washington State Department of Natural
Resources for plant species, and other appropriate federal or state agencies.
3. Bald eagle habitat shall be protected pursuant to the Washington State bald eagle
protection rules (WAC 232-12-292). Whenever activities are proposed within 800
feet of a verified nest territory or communal roost, a habitat management plan shall
be developed by a qualified professional. The director shall verify the location of
eagle management areas for each proposed activity. Approval of the activity shall
not occur prior to approval of the habitat management plan by the Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife.
B. Anadromous Fish.
1. All activities, uses, and alterations proposed to be located in water bodies used by
anadromous fish or in areas that affect such water bodies shall give special
consideration to the preservation and enhancement of anadromous fish habitat,
including, but not limited to, adhering to the following standards:
a. Activities shall be timed to occur only during the allowable work window as
designated by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for the applicable
species;
b. An alternative alignment or location for the activity is not feasible;
c. The activity is designed so that it will not degrade the functions or values of the
fish habitat or other critical areas;
d. Shoreline erosion control measures shall be designed to use bioengineering
methods or soft armoring techniques, according to an approved critical areas
report; and
e. Any impacts to the functions or values of the fish and wildlife habitat conservation
area are mitigated in accordance with an approved critical areas report.
2. Structures that prevent the migration of salmonids shall not be allowed in the
portion of water bodies currently or historically used by anadromous fish. Fish
bypass facilities shall be provided that allow the upstream migration of adult fish
and shall prevent fry and juveniles migrating downstream from being trapped or
harmed.
3. Fills, when authorized, shall not adversely impact anadromous fish or their
habitat or shall mitigate any unavoidable impacts and shall only be allowed for a
water -dependent use.

Packet Page 115 of 346
I Attachment A to Ord. 3935
C. Retention of Vegetation on Subdividable, Undeveloped Parcels. As a provision of
this title, the director shall require retention of a minimum of 30 percent of native
vegetation on undeveloped (or redeveloped), subdividable lands zoned as RS-12 or
RS-20 per Chapter 16.10 ECDC. This standard for development shall apply to all
undeveloped (or redeveloped), subdividable lands zoned RS-12 or RS-20 regardless
of the potential for designation as a fish and wildlife habitat conservation area or
other critical area. The goal of 30 percent native vegetation can be met through
maintaining existing native vegetation, establishing native vegetation, or a
combination of both. A vegetation management plan, subject to the approval of the
director, is required for approval of the proposed development. This provision for
native vegetation retention will provide increased protection of fish and wildlife
habitat throughout the Edmonds jurisdiction.
D. Streams. No alteration to a stream or stream buffer shall be permitted unless
consistent with the provisions of this title and the specific standards for
development outlined below.
1. Standard Stream Buffer Widths. Buffers for streams shall be measured on each
side of the stream, from the ordinary high water mark. The following shall be the
standard buffer widths for streams based upon the Washington State Department of
Natural Resources water typing system and further classification based upon fish
presence (fishbearing vs. nonfishbearing) for the Type F streams existing in the city
of Edmonds:
a. Type S: 150 feet;
b. Type F anadromous fishbearing stream adjacent to reaches with anadromous fish
access: 100 feet;
c. Type F anadromous fishbearing stream adjacent to reaches without anadromous
fish access: 75 feet;
d. Type F nonanadromous fishbearing stream: 75 feet;
e. Type Np: 50 feet;
f. Type Ns: 25 feet.
General areas and stream reaches with access for anadromous fish are indicated on
the city of Edmonds critical areas inventory. The potential for anadromous fish
access shall be confirmed in the field by a qualified biologist as part of critical areas
review and determination of standard stream buffer widths.
2. Reduced Stream Buffer Widths. Standard stream buffer widths may be reduced by
no more than 50 percent of the standard stream buffer width concomitant to
development and implementation of a stream buffer enhancement plan approved by
the director. Reduced stream buffer widths shall only be approved by the director if
a stream buffer enhancement plan conclusively demonstrates that enhancement of
the reduced buffer area will not degrade the quantitative and qualitative functions
and values of the buffer area in terms of fish and stream protection and the
provision of wildlife habitat. Stream buffer enhancement plans must meet the
specific requirements of ECDC 23.40.110. 23.40.120 and 23.40.130 and:
a. Provide evidence that the reduced buffer, through enhancement, will provide
functions and values in terms of stream and wildlife protections equivalent to or
greater than a standard buffer without enhancement;
Attachment A to Ord. 3935
Packet Page 116 of 346
I Attachment A to Ord. 3935
b. The plan documents existing native plant densities and provides for increases in
buffer native plant densities to no less than three feet on center for shrubs and eight
feet on center for trees;
c. The plan requires monitoring and maintenance to ensure success for a minimum
of three years in accordance with ECDC 23.40.130(D) and (E); and
d. The plan specifically documents methodology and provides performance
standards for assessing increases in stream buffer functioning as related to:
i. Water quality protection;
ii. Provision of wildlife habitat;
iii. Protection of anadromous fisheries;
iv. Enhancement of fish habitat; and
v. Restricting intrusion and disturbance.
3. Stream Buffer Width Averaging. The director may allow modification of a
standard or reduced stream buffer width in accordance with an approved critical
areas report and the best available science on a case -by -case basis by averaging
buffer widths. Only those portions of a stream buffer existing within the project area
or subject parcel shall be considered in the total buffer area for buffer averaging.
Averaging of buffer widths may only be allowed where a qualified professional
demonstrates that:
a. The total area contained in the buffer area, or the total buffer area existing on a
subject parcel for a stream extending off -site, after averaging is no less than that
which would be contained within the standard buffer;
b. The buffer width at any single location is not reduced to less than 50 percent of
the reduced or standard width; and
c. The functions and values of the stream and associated buffer will not be
diminished through the use of buffer averaging.
4. Additions to Structures Existing within Stream Buffers. Additions to legally
constructed structures existing within stream buffers that increase the footprint of
development or impervious surfacing shall be permitted consistent with the
development standards of this chapter (ECDC 23.90.030 and this section).
Provisions for standard stream buffers, buffer reductions through enhancement,
and stream buffer averaging require applicants to locate such additions in
accordance with the following sequencing:
a. Outside of the standard stream buffer;
b. Outside of a stream buffer reduced through enhancement per subsection (D)(2) of
this section;
c. Outside of a stream buffer reduced through buffer averaging per subsection
(D)(3) of this section; or
d. Outside of the inner 25 percent of the standard stream buffer width through the
use of both buffer reduction and buffer averaging.
e. Within buffer areas that:
i. are physically separated from the associated_ stream due to public roads, legally
established structures, or similar circumstances:
ii. are functionally isolated from the associated stream: and
f Attachment A to Ord. 3935
Packet Page 117 of 346
f Attachment A to Ord. 3935
iii. as a result of i and ii. above, do not serve to protect the stream from adverse
impacts of development.A critical area report prepared by a qualified -professional
is required to determine whether subsections i and ii are satisfied.
Additions to legally constructed structures existing within stream buffers that
cannot be accommodated in accordance with the above sequencing (i.e., additions
proposed within the inner 25 percent of a standard buffer width) may be permitted
at the director's discretion as a variance subject to review by the city hearing
examiner and the provisions of ECDC 23.40.210.
S. Stream Crossings. Stream crossings may be allowed only if all reasonable
construction techniques and best management practices are used to avoid
disturbance to the stream bed or bank. Upon completion of construction, the area
affected shall be restored to an appropriate grade, replanted with native species
and/or otherwise protected according to a stream mitigation and buffer
enhancement plan approved by the director, and maintained and monitored per the
requirements of ECDC 23.40.110. 23.40.120 and 23.40.130 and providing for buffer
enhancement in accordance with the requirements of subsection (D) (2) of this
section. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate that best management
practices will be used during construction to provide the following:
a. Fisheries protection, including no interference with fish migration or spawning;
b. All crossings shall be constructed during summer low flow periods and shall be
timed to avoid stream disturbance during periods when stream use is critical to
salmonids;
c. Crossings shall not occur over salmonid spawning areas unless no other possible
crossing site exists;
d. Crossings and culverted portions of the stream shall be minimized to the extent
feasible and serve multiple purposes and multiple lots whenever possible;
e. Roads may cross streams only on previously approved rights -of -way, provided no
practical alternative exists and adequate provision is made to protect and/or
enhance the stream through appropriate mitigation. Roads shall be designed and
located to conform to topography, and maintained to prevent erosion and
restriction of the natural movement of ground water as it affects the stream;
f. Roads and utilities shall be designed in conjunction to minimize the area of
disturbance to the stream; and
g. Roads shall be constructed so as to minimize adverse impacts on the hydrologic
quality of the stream or associated habitat to a degree acceptable to the city.
6. Trails. After reviewing the proposed development and technical reports, the
director may determine that a pedestrian -only trail may be allowed in a stream
buffer; provided, nonimpervious surface materials are used, all appropriate
provision is made to protect water quality, and all applicable permit requirements
have been met. No motorized vehicles shall be allowed within a stream or its buffer
except as required for necessary maintenance or security. Vegetative edges,
structural barriers, signs or other measures must be provided wherever necessary
to protect streams by limiting vehicular access to designated public use or
interpretive areas.
Attachment A to Ord. 3935
Packet Page 118 of 346
I Attachment A to Ord. 3935
7. Storm Water Management Facilities. Storm water management facilities, limited
to outfalls, pipes and conveyance systems, storm water dispersion outfalls and
bioswales, may be allowed within stream buffers; provided, that:
a. No other location is feasible; and
b. The location and function of such facilities will not degrade the functions or
values of the stream or stream buffer.
8. City Discretion in Protection, Enhancement and Preservation of Streams. The city
of Edmonds is unique within the state of Washington as a built -out community with
streams that have been incorporated within, and often located immediately adjacent
to, residential development. This title allows the director full discretion to condition
proposals for development on parcels containing, adjacent to, or potentially
impacting streams to enhance conditions consistent with ECDC 23.40.050 and the
purposes and objectives of this title. Conditions on development shall be required to
enhance streams and stream buffers as fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas
to provide increased protection of anadromous fisheries and potential fish habitat in
accordance with best available science and the recommendations of an approved
critical areas report and may include:
a. Removal of stream bank armoring;
b. In -stream habitat modification;
c. Native planting;
d. Relocation of stream channel portions to create contiguous riparian corridors or
wildlife habitat;
e. Planting of stream bank native vegetation to increase stream shading;
f. Removal and control of nonnative, invasive weed species;
g. Requiring additional building setbacks or modified buffers; and
h. Limiting or reducing the types or densities of particular uses.
The right of discretion in provisioning development in regard to streams is
maintained in order to provide for the creation of enhanced conditions over those
currently existing around streams in the city of Edmonds. In all instances where an
applicant cannot demonstrate that standard stream buffer widths as provided in
subsection (D)(1) of this section can be accommodated by project development, the
applicant shall be required to submit a stream buffer enhancement plan or a stream
mitigation and buffer enhancement plan as part of a critical areas report indicating
that postproject site conditions will provide equivalent or greater protection of
stream functions and fish habitat over a standard stream buffer and existing site
conditions. rn�92+ § 2, 20

MEMORANDUM
TO: Edmonds City Council
FROM: Lighthouse Law Group, PLLC
Susan Elizabeth Drummond, Special Counsel
SUBJECT: I-502 - Options for Addressing State's
Marijuana Facility Licensing Regime
DATE: August 29, 2013
1. Introduction
Washington State's Liquor Control Board will be adopting a program to license
marijuana production, processing and retailing facilities by December 1. Local jurisdictions
throughout Washington are considering a range of options in response, including the City of
Edmonds.
The City recently adopted a moratorium, and has scheduled a public hearing for
September 3, 2013 to accept testimony on the moratorium. That same evening, the City Council
will also meet to discuss alternative approaches for addressing the state's proposed licensing
process. This memo summarizes four approaches to addressing the issue:
(1) No Action. Defer to the state siting process to address impacts associated with state
licensed marijuana facilities and to the statutory size limitations on collective gardens.
(2) No Immediate Action; Further Assess Alternative Approaches. Local jurisdictions are
operating with limited information on how the state licensing process will work. The
City's existing moratorium provides for the City to further assess the issue before
determining next steps.

Packet Page 125 of 346
(3) Ban. Some cities have adopted bans on marijuana facilities, although this approach is
likely to lead to litigation. Washington's courts are just beginning to address this
issue.
(4) Zoning. Adopt zoning to further address secondary impacts and locational concerns.
As set forth in the City's moratorium ordinance, the City has elected to further assess the
issue before deciding on a course of action.
2. Legislative Background
2.1 I-502 — State Licensing of Marijuana Facilities
Initiative 502 passed in 2012. I-502 directs the Washington State Liquor Control Board
to regulate marijuana by licensing and taxing producers, processers, and retailers, and to adopt
regulations by December 1, 2013. The Board's current schedule for adoption is attached.
The Liquor Control Board will determine the maximum number of retail outlets it will
license per county. The Board will consider population distribution, security and safety, and
adequate access to licensed sources to discourage illegal purchase.' No licensed use may be
located within 1,000 feet of an elementary or secondary school, playground, recreation center or
facility, child care center, public park, public transit center, or library, or any game arcade
admission which is not restricted to persons aged 21 or older.2 Commercial marijuana
advertising is similarly restricted, and is also prohibited on or in a public transit vehicle or
shelter, and within publicly owned or operated property.3
Before a facility can be licensed, the host local jurisdiction must be notified of the license
application, and provided at least 20 days to file written objections.4 The Board gives
"substantial weight" to the jurisdiction's objections, if "based on chronic illegal activity
associated with the applicant's operation of the premises" proposed for licensing or "the
applicant's operations of any other licensed premises," or patron conduct inside or outside the
premises.5 The host jurisdiction may request a hearing, and, if the Board denies a license based
on the jurisdiction's objections, the applicant may request a hearing.6

2.2 Medical Marijuana — Ch. 69.51A RCW, ESSSB 5073 (2011)
Washington's medical marijuana law, passed in 2011, provides for medicinal marijuana
use. Qualifying patients may participate in collective gardens for the purpose of producing,
processing, transporting, and delivering cannabis for medicinal use involving: (a) no more than
ten qualifying patients; (b) no more than fifteen plants per patient up to a total of forty-five
plants; and (c) no more than twenty-four ounces of useable cannabis per patient up to a total of
seventy-two ounces of useable cannabis.? Local jurisdictions have authority to adopt zoning
restrictions addressing this use.g Some jurisdictions have completely prohibited collective
gardens (see below).
2.3 Federal Law
Under federal law, it remains a criminal offense to manufacture, distribute, or possess
marijuana. The federal Controlled Substances Act "designates Schedule I drugs [including
marijuana] as having no currently -accepted medical use and there are criminal penalties
associated with production, distribution, and possession of these drugs."9 Compliance with state
law is not a legal defense to a violation of the Controlled Substances Act. Simply because an
activity is legal under state law, does not mean it is legal under federal law.10 Having said that,
on August 29, 2013, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Justice Department has decided not
to challenge state laws in Colorado and Washington that allow recreational marijuana use.
According to the Journal, "Mr. Holder emphasized that marijuana remains illegal under the
federal Controlled Substances Act and said the department reserved the right to challenge the
states' laws later if U.S. officials find that the states don't put appropriate regulatory controls in
place to govern marijuana use and distribution."
3. Options
3.1 No Action
There is no legal requirement for the City to take action. Following rule adoption later
this year, depending on the application(s) submitted, and comments received from the public and
from the City, the Liquor Control Board could license production, processing, and/or
dispensaries within City limits. Such facilities would be required to comply with state laws and
permit conditions. At present, it is difficult to predict how many recreational facilities, if any,

would ultimately be authorized within City limits. The City has the option of relying on the
state's regulatory process, including the statutorily established setback requirements, and size
limitations on collective gardens to address likely impacts, along with the specter of federal
enforcement. Note, however, that collective gardens are not licensed by the state in the same way
that the recreational facilities will be licensed. So, taking no zoning action regarding collective
gardens has different consequences than taking no action regarding recreational marijuana. In the
absence of the current moratorium, collective gardens may be authorized under current zoning
without specific regulations concerning proximity to sensitive uses.
3.2 No Immediate Action; Further Assess Likely Impacts and Legal Concerns
Under the present moratorium, the City's current plan is to gather additional analysis on
likely impacts associated with the siting of marijuana facilities within the City, and further assess
how the state will license the recreational facilities. This process may lead to the adoption of
additional land use measures to address impacts of concern.
3.3 Ban
Some cities have banned marijuana facilities entirely. For example, the City of Kent has
a medical marijuana ban which was upheld in superior court, but the case is pending before the
Court of Appeals. The adoption of a ban does heighten the chances of litigation, and further
analysis is recommended before such an approach is taken. Edmonds may want to see whether
Kent's ban is upheld by the Court of Appeals before adopting a permanent ban, but we think it
more probable than not that such a ban would be upheld.
3.4 Zoning
The City could utilize its zoning authority to: (1) require additional mitigation and siting
limitations for state licensed marijuana facilities; (2) identify areas where marijuana facilities
should not be located; and (3) further address mitigation and locational concerns regarding
collective gardens operating to supply medicinal marijuana.
Any code requirements adopted, or other measures, including policies, would likely be
identified in written comment submitted to the Liquor Control Board during licensing
proceedings. As such, it is preferable that any such measures be adopted before the Liquor
Control Board adopts regulations providing for marijuana facility certification.

4. Conclusion
The City of Edmonds has a range of options for addressing marijuana facility siting.
Options include taking no action, engaging in further analysis and review to determine next
steps, considering a ban (contingent on further legal review), and/or adopting zoning provisions
to mitigate secondary impacts and address locational concerns.

dispensing of medical marijuana; and
WHEREAS, the Washington voters approved Initiative 502 in 2012, which
"authorizes the state liquor control board to regulate and tax marijuana for persons
twenty-one years of age and older, and adds a new threshold for driving under the
influence of marijuana"; and
WHEREAS, 1-502 allows the Washington State Liquor Control Board to license
marijuana producers "to produce marijuana for sale at wholesale to marijuana

manufacture, distribute, or possess with intent to distribute any controlled substance
and pursuant to 21 U.S.C. S.812, marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance; and
WHEREAS, at this time, no Washington legislative act or court decision
reconciles Washington law with applicable Federal law; and
WHEREAS, at this point in time, the City of Edmonds does not have any
regulations addressing the facilities or uses identified in 1-502, other than the
requirement for a general business license; and
WHEREAS, based on the licensing scheme in 1-502, which prohibits anyone from
engaging in the activities identified in 1-502 without first obtaining a license from the

for the purposes described in 1-502 unless the applicant demonstrates that he/she has
first received the appropriate license from the State; and
WHEREAS, the uses described in 1-502 have never been allowed in any state or

addressed to mitigate these impacts before adoption of any regulatory ordinance or
issuance of any business licenses; and
3
Packet Page 133 of 346
WHEREAS, the Edmonds City Council therefore believes a moratorium to
preserve the status quo is necessary, until the State Liquor Control Board definitively
acts to establish a complete set of rules for the licensing of all of the new marijuana
facilities and uses identified in 1-502, and until the Edmonds City Council can study,
draft, hold public hearings and adopt the appropriate regulations to address these new
uses; and
WHEREAS, at this time, the Edmonds City Council does not have sufficient
information to consider the potential secondary impacts from collective gardens or
recreational marijuana facilities, the regulations that should be enacted or the legal
implications of taking pre -mature action; and
WHEREAS, Section 36.70A.390 of the Revised Code of Washington authorizes
the City Council to adopt an immediate moratorium for a period of up to six months
without holding a public hearing on the proposal provided that a public hearing is held
within at least sixty days of its adoption,
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to impose an immediate six month
moratorium on the acceptance of any development permit application or business

Packet Page 134 of 346
B. "Collective Garden" means a facility, building, use, access -point or other

RCW 69.51A.085 and subject to the limitations therein.
C. "Marijuana processer" means a person licensed by the State Liquor

5
Packet Page 135 of 346
A. "Exempt development permits" shall include any permit application for a
structure or use/operation of property for collective gardens, marijuana production,
marijuana processing or marijuana retailing, as defined in this Ordinance, that is subject
to the vested rights doctrine, and that was submitted to the City and determined by the
City staff to be complete on or before the effective date of this Ordinance.
B. "Non -Exempt development permits or Non-exempt business license" shall
include any permit or business license application for a structure or use/operation of
property for collective gardens, marijuana production, marijuana processing or
marijuana retailing, as defined in this Ordinance, that is:
1. a permit application that is not subject to the vested rights doctrine
and/or that was submitted to the City after the effective date of this Ordinance; and/or
2. a business license application for use/operation of property for a
collective garden, marijuana production, marijuana processing or marijuana retailing, as
defined in this Ordinance that was submitted to the City either before or after the
effective date of this Ordinance.
Section 3. Purpose. The purpose of this moratorium is to allow the City
adequate time to study the secondary land use impacts associated with the location and
siting of structures and uses in which collective gardens, marijuana production,
marijuana processing or marijuana retailing may take place. In addition, the moratorium
will allow the City adequate time to study 1-502, and to await the administrative rules
that the Liquor Control Board will develop by December of 2013. The City's goal is to
ultimately draft zoning and business licensing regulations to address such
6
Packet Page 136 of 346
developments and uses, to hold public hearings on such draft regulations and to adopt
such regulations.
Section 4. Moratorium Imposed. The City Council imposes an immediate six-
month moratorium on the acceptance of all non-exempt development permit and
business license applications, as defined in this Ordinance. All such non-exempt
development permit and business license applications shall be rejected and returned to
the applicant. With regard to the City's acceptance of any exempt development permit
applications, such acceptance shall only allow processing to proceed, but shall not
constitute an assurance that the application will be approved.
Section 5. Duration of Moratorium. The moratorium imposed by this Ordinance
shall commence on the date of the adoption of this Ordinance. As long as the City
holds a public hearing on the moratorium and adopts findings and conclusions in
support of the moratorium (as contemplated by Section 6 herein), the moratorium shall
not terminate until six (6) months after the date of adoption, or at the time all of the
events described in Section 3 have been accomplished, whichever is sooner. The
Council shall make the decision to terminate the moratorium by ordinance, and
termination shall not otherwise be presumed to have occurred.
Section 6. Public Hearinq on Moratorium. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.390 and
RCW 35A.63.220, the City Council shall hold a public hearing on this moratorium within
sixty (60) days of its adoption. During the next Council meeting immediately following
the hearing, the City Council shall adopt findings of fact on the subject of this
moratorium and either justify its continued imposition or cancel the moratorium.
Packet Page 137 of 346 7
Section 7. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this
Ordinance should be held to be unconstitutional or unlawful by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or
constitutionality of any other section, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance.
Section 8. Declaration of Emergency. The City Council hereby declares that an
emergency exists necessitating that this Ordinance take effect immediately upon
passage by a majority vote plus one of the whole membership of the Council, and that
the same is not subject to a referendum (RCW 35A.12.130). Without an immediate
moratorium on the City's acceptance of non-exempt development applications, such
applications could become vested, leading to development or a use of property that is
incompatible with 1-502, the rules that will be adopted by the Liquor Control Board or the
laws adopted by the City of Edmonds. Therefore, the moratorium must be imposed as
an emergency measure to protect the public health, safety and welfare, and to prevent
the submission of a flood of applications to the City in an attempt to vest rights for an
indefinite period of time. This Ordinance does not affect any existing vested rights. Any
use currently in operation as a collective garden, marijuana producer, marijuana
processor or marijuana retailer without a valid City business license on the date of the
passage of this Ordinance is not a legal non -conforming use.
Section 9. Publication. This Ordinance shall be published by an approved
summary consisting of the title.
Section 10. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force
and effect immediately upon passage, as set forth herein, as long as it is approved by a
8
Packet Page 138 of 346
majority plus one of the entire membership of the Council, as required by RCW
35A.12.130.

of the City of Edmonds, Washington
On the 20th day of August, 2013, the City Council of the City of Edmonds, passed Ordinance
No. 3938. A summary of the content of said ordinance, consisting of the title, provides as
follows:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,

AND THE RECREATIONAL USE OF MARIJUANA,
ESTABLISHING AN IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY
MORATORIUM ON THE SITING, ESTABLISHMENT AND
OPERATION OF ANY STRUCTURES OR USES
RELATING TO COLLECTIVE GARDENS, MARIJUANA
PRODUCTION, MARIJUANA PROCESSING, OR

court salary has not changed since 2008. In 2013 the State Salary Commission approved a 2% increase in
2013 and a 3% increase in 2014 for district court judges. In order for the City to be eligible to continue to
receive the funds, approximately $12,000 - $13,000/year, his salary must be raised by the same amount.
The annual cost is described in the agenda memo.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday explained the Citizens Salary Commission sets the compensation for all
elected officials including the judge. While the Commission established the salary for the Council and
Mayor, they did defer the judge's salary to the Council. The Commission meets in the spring of every
even numbered year; they can address the 2014 increase at that time. He suggested when the Commission
meets, they are asked to tie the judge's salary to this formula.
Human Resources Reporting Director Carrie Hite explained she was the staff liaison to the Citizens
Commission on Compensation for Elected Officials in 2012. She referred to the May 1, 2012 Council
minutes in which the Commission deferred the judge's salary to the 95% of the district court judge and
that any changes in the state salary rate be reflected in the judge's compensation for 2013 and 2014. Mr.
Taraday explained that means the Council does not need to take any action; it will happen automatically.
He cited RCW 35.21.015 which states any change in salary shall be filed by the Commission with the
City Clerk and shall become effective and incorporated into the city or town budget without further action
of the city council or salary commission. He summarized in accordance with the RCW, it would be
improper for the Council to take action on the judge's salary.
7A. PROPOSED ORDINANCE ADOPTING A MORATORIUM ON MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES
Mayor Earling read the title of the ordinance: An ordinance of the City of Edmonds, Washington,
relating to collective gardens and the recreational use of marijuana, establishing an immediate emergency
moratorium on the siting, establishment and operation of any structures or uses relating to collective
gardens, marijuana production, marijuana processing, or marijuana retailing, to be in effect until the City
of Edmonds adopts zoning regulations addressing such marijuana uses, and establishing an immediate
emergency moratorium on the submission of any business license applications for such uses, setting six
months as the effective period of the moratorium, to allow the Washington State Liquor Control Board an
opportunity to complete its rulemaking for the licensing of such uses and to allow the City to study the
secondary land use impacts of such uses, establishing the date of the public hearing on the moratorium
and declaring an emergency.
Mayor Earling explained he asked the City Attorney to prepare the ordinance. With the passage of I-502,
there is a series of new regulations. With the recent news that the Liquor Control Board extended 90 days
for additional rulemaking consideration, it was appropriate for the City to take this action immediately.
Councilmember Buckshnis agreed this was appropriate, noting the State of Washington needs time and
the City needs time.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON,
TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 3938, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, RELATING TO COLLECTIVE GARDENS AND THE RECREATIONAL USE
OF MARIJUANA, ESTABLISHING AN IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY MORATORIUM ON THE
SITING, ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION OF ANY STRUCTURES OR USES RELATING
TO COLLECTIVE GARDENS, MARIJUANA PRODUCTION, MARIJUANA PROCESSING, OR
MARIJUANA RETAILING, TO BE IN EFFECT UNTIL THE CITY OF EDMONDS ADOPTS
ZONING REGULATIONS ADDRESSING SUCH MARIJUANA USES, AND ESTABLISHING AN
IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY MORATORIUM ON THE SUBMISSION OF ANY BUSINESS
LICENSE APPLICATIONS FOR SUCH USES, SETTING SIX MONTHS AS THE EFFECTIVE
PERIOD OF THE MORATORIUM, TO ALLOW THE WASHINGTON STATE LIQUOR
CONTROL BOARD AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE ITS RULEMAKING FOR THE
LICENSING OF SUCH USES AND TO ALLOW THE CITY TO STUDY THE SECONDARY

Packet Page 141 of 346
LAND USE IMPACTS OF SUCH USES, ESTABLISHING THE DATE OF THE PUBLIC
HEARING ON THE MORATORIUM AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented everyone will be looking at how Washington State handles this
law. She personally preferred to "tax the heck out of it" to generate additional revenue. The State and the
City need time to do things thoughtful because it has the potential to change the face of Edmonds.
Councilmember Peterson did not support an emergency moratorium without notice to the public even
though he understood the reasoning. If the ordinance passes, he hoped a public hearing would be
scheduled as soon as possible. He viewed this as an opportunity to recruit businesses and move forward in
a very progressive way as the State has.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether the ordinance include an automatic repeal of the
moratorium after six months. City Attorney Jeff Taraday explained the ordinance has a provision that
requires the Council to take action to terminate the moratorium. He read Section 5 of the ordinance,
"Duration of Moratorium. The moratorium imposed by this Ordinance shall commence on the date of the
adoption of this Ordinance. As long as the City holds a public hearing on the moratorium and adopts
findings and conclusions in support of the moratorium (as contemplated by Section 6 herein), the
moratorium shall not terminate until six (6) months after the date of adoption, or at the time all of the
events described in Section 3 have been accomplished, whichever is sooner. The Council shall make the
decision to terminate the moratorium by ordinance, and termination shall not otherwise be presumed to
have occurred." Mr. Taraday clarified as the ordinance is currently drafted, the Council would need to
take subsequent action to terminate the moratorium but that sentence could be revised if the Council
wished. If the Council wanted a permanent ban on marijuana facilities as some cities have done, he
recommended that not be done by simply leaving the moratorium in place, but rather by adopting a
permanent ban.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether a public hearing was required. Mr. Taraday answered if the
moratorium is adopted, a public hearing is required within 60 days of adoption. Council President Petso
advised the date of the public hearing was unknown at this point, possibly September 3, 2013.
Council President Petso asked whether the moratorium could be repealed following the public hearing if
the Council chose. Mr. Taraday answered this is not an interim ordinance but a moratorium; the City is
not required to leave the moratorium in place for six months. Like any ordinance, it can be repealed.

Sec. 7(a)); and
WHEREAS, 1-502 establishes certain siting limitations on the Washington State
Liquor Control Board's issuance of such licenses for any premises that are within 1,000
feet of the perimeter of the grounds of any elementary or secondary school, playground,
recreation center or facility, child care center, public park, public transit center or library,
or any game arcade, admission to which is not restricted to persons aged twenty-one
years or older (1-502, Section 8); and
WHEREAS, 1-502 contemplates that the Washington State Liquor Control Board
will adopt rules to carry the provisions of 1-502 into effect, which includes the equipment
and management of retail outlets and premises where marijuana is produced and
processed, and the inspection of same; methods of producing, processing, and
packaging the marijuana and marijuana products; security requirements at such
establishments; retail outlet locations and hours of operation; labeling requirements and
restrictions on advertising of such products; licensing and licensing renewal rules; the
manner and method to be used by which licensees may transport and deliver marijuana
and marijuana products (among other things), (1-502, Sec. 9); and
2
Packet Page 146 of 346
WHEREAS, 1-502 contemplates that the Washington State Liquor Control Board
will adopt more rules on or before December 1, 2013 to determine the number of retail
outlets that may be licensed in each county (among other things), (1-502, Sec. 10); and
WHEREAS, 1-502 limits the number of retail outlets to be licensed in each
county, for the purpose of making useable marijuana and marijuana -infused products
available for sale to adults 21 years of age or over (1-502, Sec. 13); and
WHEREAS, 1-502 decriminalizes, for purposes of state law, the production,
manufacture, processing, packaging, delivery, distribution, sale or possession of
marijuana, as long as such activities are in compliance with 1-502; and
WHEREAS, the Washington State Liquor Control Board is required to establish
rules necessary to implement 1-502 by December 1, 2013; and
WHEREAS, the Washington State Liquor Control Board will begin accepting
applications for the production, processing and retail sale of marijuana after the rules
are implemented; and
WHEREAS, at this time, no Washington legislative act reconciles Initiative
Measure No. 502 and RCW 69.51A; and
WHEREAS, federal law, as set forth in 21 U.S.C. S.841(a), makes it illegal to
manufacture, distribute, or possess with intent to distribute any controlled substance
and pursuant to 21 U.S.C. S.812, marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance; and
WHEREAS, at this time, no Washington legislative act or court decision
reconciles Washington law with applicable Federal law; and
WHEREAS, at this point in time, the City of Edmonds does not have any
regulations addressing the facilities or uses identified in 1-502, other than the
requirement for a general business license; and
WHEREAS, based on the licensing scheme in 1-502, which prohibits anyone from
engaging in the activities identified in 1-502 without first obtaining a license from the
Washington State Liquor Control Board, the City will not be issuing any business license
for the purposes described in 1-502 unless the applicant demonstrates that he/she has
first received the appropriate license from the State; and
WHEREAS, the uses described in 1-502 have never been allowed in any state or
city in the United States, and City needs time to study the secondary land use impacts
of these marijuana uses and the various development standards that should be
addressed to mitigate these impacts before adoption of any regulatory ordinance or
issuance of any business licenses; and
3
Packet Page 147 of 346
WHEREAS, the Edmonds City Council therefore believes a moratorium to
preserve the status quo is necessary, until the State Liquor Control Board definitively
acts to establish a complete set of rules for the licensing of all of the new marijuana
facilities and uses identified in 1-502, and until the Edmonds City Council can study,
draft, hold public hearings and adopt the appropriate regulations to address these new
uses; and
WHEREAS, at this time, the Edmonds City Council does not have sufficient
information to consider the potential secondary impacts from collective gardens or
recreational marijuana facilities, the regulations that should be enacted or the legal
implications of taking pre -mature action; and
WHEREAS, Section 36.70A.390 of the Revised Code of Washington authorizes
the City Council to adopt an immediate moratorium for a period of up to six months
without holding a public hearing on the proposal provided that a public hearing is held
within at least sixty days of its adoption,
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to impose an immediate six month
moratorium on the acceptance of any development permit application or business
license application for the siting, location or operation of any collective garden,
marijuana processor, marijuana producer, or marijuana retailer; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS DOES ORDAIN AS

Packet Page 148 of 346
B. "Collective Garden" means a facility, building, use, access -point or other

resources required to produce and process cannabis for medical use as set forth in
RCW 69.51A.085 and subject to the limitations therein.
C. "Marijuana processer" means a person licensed by the State Liquor

products, package and label usable marijuana and marijuana -infused products for sale
in retail outlets, and sell usable marijuana and marijuana -infused products as wholesale
to marijuana retailers.
D."Marijuana producer" means a person licensed by the State Liquor Control
Board to produce and sell marijuana at wholesale to marijuana processors and other
marijuana producers.

5
Packet Page 149 of 346
A. "Exempt development permits" shall include any permit application for a
structure or use/operation of property for collective gardens, marijuana production,
marijuana processing or marijuana retailing, as defined in this Ordinance, that is subject
to the vested rights doctrine, and that was submitted to the City and determined by the
City staff to be complete on or before the effective date of this Ordinance.
B. "Non -Exempt development permits or Non-exempt business license" shall
include any permit or business license application for a structure or use/operation of
property for collective gardens, marijuana production, marijuana processing or
marijuana retailing, as defined in this Ordinance, that is:
1. a permit application that is not subject to the vested rights doctrine
and/or that was submitted to the City after the effective date of this Ordinance; and/or
2. a business license application for use/operation of property for a
collective garden, marijuana production, marijuana processing or marijuana retailing, as
defined in this Ordinance that was submitted to the City either before or after the
effective date of this Ordinance.
Section 3. Purpose. The purpose of this moratorium is to allow the City
adequate time to study the secondary land use impacts associated with the location and
siting of structures and uses in which collective gardens, marijuana production,
marijuana processing or marijuana retailing may take place. In addition, the moratorium
will allow the City adequate time to study 1-502, and to await the administrative rules
that the Liquor Control Board will develop by December of 2013. The City's goal is to
ultimately draft zoning and business licensing regulations to address such
6
Packet Page 150 of 346
developments and uses, to hold public hearings on such draft regulations and to adopt
such regulations.
Section 4. Moratorium Imposed. The City Council imposes an immediate six-
month moratorium on the acceptance of all non-exempt development permit and
business license applications, as defined in this Ordinance. All such non-exempt
development permit and business license applications shall be rejected and returned to
the applicant. With regard to the City's acceptance of any exempt development permit
applications, such acceptance shall only allow processing to proceed, but shall not
constitute an assurance that the application will be approved.
Section 5. Duration of Moratorium. The moratorium imposed by this Ordinance
shall commence on the date of the adoption of this Ordinance. As long as the City
holds a public hearing on the moratorium and adopts findings and conclusions in
support of the moratorium (as contemplated by Section 6 herein), the moratorium shall
not terminate until six (6) months after the date of adoption, or at the time all of the
events described in Section 3 have been accomplished, whichever is sooner. The
Council shall make the decision to terminate the moratorium by ordinance, and
termination shall not otherwise be presumed to have occurred.
Section 6. Public Hearinq on Moratorium. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.390 and
RCW 35A.63.220, the City Council shall hold a public hearing on this moratorium within
sixty (60) days of its adoption. During the next Council meeting immediately following
the hearing, the City Council shall adopt findings of fact on the subject of this
moratorium and either justify its continued imposition or cancel the moratorium.
Packet Page 151 of 346 7
Section 7. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this
Ordinance should be held to be unconstitutional or unlawful by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or
constitutionality of any other section, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance.
Section 8. Declaration of Emergency. The City Council hereby declares that an
emergency exists necessitating that this Ordinance take effect immediately upon
passage by a majority vote plus one of the whole membership of the Council, and that
the same is not subject to a referendum (RCW 35A.12.130). Without an immediate
moratorium on the City's acceptance of non-exempt development applications, such
applications could become vested, leading to development or a use of property that is
incompatible with 1-502, the rules that will be adopted by the Liquor Control Board or the
laws adopted by the City of Edmonds. Therefore, the moratorium must be imposed as
an emergency measure to protect the public health, safety and welfare, and to prevent
the submission of a flood of applications to the City in an attempt to vest rights for an
indefinite period of time. This Ordinance does not affect any existing vested rights. Any
use currently in operation as a collective garden, marijuana producer, marijuana
processor or marijuana retailer without a valid City business license on the date of the
passage of this Ordinance is not a legal non -conforming use.
Section 9. Publication. This Ordinance shall be published by an approved
summary consisting of the title.
Section 10. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force
and effect immediately upon passage, as set forth herein, as long as it is approved by a
8
Packet Page 152 of 346
majority plus one of the entire membership of the Council, as required by RCW
35A.12.130.

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 3938
of the City of Edmonds, Washington
On the 20th day of August, 2013, the City Council of the City of Edmonds, passed Ordinance
No. 3938. A summary of the content of said ordinance, consisting of the title, provides as
follows:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, RELATING TO COLLECTIVE GARDENS
AND THE RECREATIONAL USE OF MARIJUANA,
ESTABLISHING AN IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY
MORATORIUM ON THE SITING, ESTABLISHMENT AND
OPERATION OF ANY STRUCTURES OR USES
RELATING TO COLLECTIVE GARDENS, MARIJUANA
PRODUCTION, MARIJUANA PROCESSING, OR
MARIJUANA RETAILING, TO BE IN EFFECT UNTIL THE
CITY OF EDMONDS ADOPTS ZONING REGULATIONS
ADDRESSING SUCH MARIJUANA USES, AND
ESTABLISHING AN IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY
MORATORIUM ON THE SUBMISSION OF ANY BUSINESS

SIX MONTHS AS THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THE
MORATORIUM, TO ALLOW THE WASHINGTON STATE
LIQUOR CONTROL BOARD AN OPPORTUNITY TO

SUCH USES AND TO ALLOW THE CITY TO STUDY THE
SECONDARY LAND USE IMPACTS OF SUCH USES,
ESTABLISHING THE DATE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING ON

court salary has not changed since 2008. In 2013 the State Salary Commission approved a 2% increase in
2013 and a 3% increase in 2014 for district court judges. In order for the City to be eligible to continue to
receive the funds, approximately $12,000 - $13,000/year, his salary must be raised by the same amount.
The annual cost is described in the agenda memo.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday explained the Citizens Salary Commission sets the compensation for all
elected officials including the judge. While the Commission established the salary for the Council and
Mayor, they did defer the judge's salary to the Council. The Commission meets in the spring of every
even numbered year; they can address the 2014 increase at that time. He suggested when the Commission
meets, they are asked to tie the judge's salary to this formula.
Human Resources Reporting Director Carrie Hite explained she was the staff liaison to the Citizens
Commission on Compensation for Elected Officials in 2012. She referred to the May 1, 2012 Council
minutes in which the Commission deferred the judge's salary to the 95% of the district court judge and
that any changes in the state salary rate be reflected in the judge's compensation for 2013 and 2014. Mr.
Taraday explained that means the Council does not need to take any action; it will happen automatically.
He cited RCW 35.21.015 which states any change in salary shall be filed by the Commission with the
City Clerk and shall become effective and incorporated into the city or town budget without further action
of the city council or salary commission. He summarized in accordance with the RCW, it would be
improper for the Council to take action on the judge's salary.
7A. PROPOSED ORDINANCE ADOPTING A MORATORIUM ON MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES
Mayor Earling read the title of the ordinance: An ordinance of the City of Edmonds, Washington,
relating to collective gardens and the recreational use of marijuana, establishing an immediate emergency
moratorium on the siting, establishment and operation of any structures or uses relating to collective
gardens, marijuana production, marijuana processing, or marijuana retailing, to be in effect until the City
of Edmonds adopts zoning regulations addressing such marijuana uses, and establishing an immediate
emergency moratorium on the submission of any business license applications for such uses, setting six
months as the effective period of the moratorium, to allow the Washington State Liquor Control Board an
opportunity to complete its rulemaking for the licensing of such uses and to allow the City to study the
secondary land use impacts of such uses, establishing the date of the public hearing on the moratorium
and declaring an emergency.
Mayor Earling explained he asked the City Attorney to prepare the ordinance. With the passage of I-502,
there is a series of new regulations. With the recent news that the Liquor Control Board extended 90 days
for additional rulemaking consideration, it was appropriate for the City to take this action immediately.
Councilmember Buckshnis agreed this was appropriate, noting the State of Washington needs time and
the City needs time.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON,
TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 3938, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, RELATING TO COLLECTIVE GARDENS AND THE RECREATIONAL USE
OF MARIJUANA, ESTABLISHING AN IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY MORATORIUM ON THE
SITING, ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION OF ANY STRUCTURES OR USES RELATING
TO COLLECTIVE GARDENS, MARIJUANA PRODUCTION, MARIJUANA PROCESSING, OR
MARIJUANA RETAILING, TO BE IN EFFECT UNTIL THE CITY OF EDMONDS ADOPTS
ZONING REGULATIONS ADDRESSING SUCH MARIJUANA USES, AND ESTABLISHING AN
IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY MORATORIUM ON THE SUBMISSION OF ANY BUSINESS
LICENSE APPLICATIONS FOR SUCH USES, SETTING SIX MONTHS AS THE EFFECTIVE
PERIOD OF THE MORATORIUM, TO ALLOW THE WASHINGTON STATE LIQUOR
CONTROL BOARD AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE ITS RULEMAKING FOR THE
LICENSING OF SUCH USES AND TO ALLOW THE CITY TO STUDY THE SECONDARY

Packet Page 155 of 346
LAND USE IMPACTS OF SUCH USES, ESTABLISHING THE DATE OF THE PUBLIC
HEARING ON THE MORATORIUM AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented everyone will be looking at how Washington State handles this
law. She personally preferred to "tax the heck out of it" to generate additional revenue. The State and the
City need time to do things thoughtful because it has the potential to change the face of Edmonds.
Councilmember Peterson did not support an emergency moratorium without notice to the public even
though he understood the reasoning. If the ordinance passes, he hoped a public hearing would be
scheduled as soon as possible. He viewed this as an opportunity to recruit businesses and move forward in
a very progressive way as the State has.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether the ordinance include an automatic repeal of the
moratorium after six months. City Attorney Jeff Taraday explained the ordinance has a provision that
requires the Council to take action to terminate the moratorium. He read Section 5 of the ordinance,
"Duration of Moratorium. The moratorium imposed by this Ordinance shall commence on the date of the
adoption of this Ordinance. As long as the City holds a public hearing on the moratorium and adopts
findings and conclusions in support of the moratorium (as contemplated by Section 6 herein), the
moratorium shall not terminate until six (6) months after the date of adoption, or at the time all of the
events described in Section 3 have been accomplished, whichever is sooner. The Council shall make the
decision to terminate the moratorium by ordinance, and termination shall not otherwise be presumed to
have occurred." Mr. Taraday clarified as the ordinance is currently drafted, the Council would need to
take subsequent action to terminate the moratorium but that sentence could be revised if the Council
wished. If the Council wanted a permanent ban on marijuana facilities as some cities have done, he
recommended that not be done by simply leaving the moratorium in place, but rather by adopting a
permanent ban.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether a public hearing was required. Mr. Taraday answered if the
moratorium is adopted, a public hearing is required within 60 days of adoption. Council President Petso
advised the date of the public hearing was unknown at this point, possibly September 3, 2013.
Council President Petso asked whether the moratorium could be repealed following the public hearing if
the Council chose. Mr. Taraday answered this is not an interim ordinance but a moratorium; the City is
not required to leave the moratorium in place for six months. Like any ordinance, it can be repealed.

which amended the Critical Areas Ordinance, specifically Sections ECDC 23.40.220, 23.40.320,
23.50.020, 23.50.040, and 23.90.040, to allow development within legally established impervious areas
and within buffer areas that are physically separated and functionally isolated from an associated critical
area.
Recommendation
Previous Council Action
On August 20, 2013, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3940 (copy attached as Exhibit 1).
Narrative
On August 23, 2013, Mayor Earling vetoed Ordinance No. 3940; attached as Exhibit 2 is a copy of an

Ordinances — Style — Requisites — Veto.
The enacting clause of all ordinances shall be as follows: "The city council of the city of ...... do
ordain as follows:" No ordinance shall contain more than one subject and that must be clearly expressed
in its title.
No ordinance or any section or subsection thereof shall be revised or amended unless the new ordinance
sets forth the revised ordinance or the amended section or subsection at full length.
No ordinance shall take effect until five days after the date of its publication unless otherwise provided
by statute or charter, except that an ordinance passed by a majority plus one of the whole membership of
the council, designated therein as a public emergency ordinance necessary for the protection of public
health, public safety, public property or the public peace, may be made effective upon adoption, but such
ordinance may not levy taxes, grant, renew, or extend a franchise, or authorize the borrowing of money.
Every ordinance which passes the council in order to become valid must be presented to the mayor; if he
or she approves it, he or she shall sign it, but if not, he or she shall return it with his or her written

Subject: Ordinance No. 3940
Good Afternoon.....
I want to let you know I have vetoed Ordinance No. 3940, dealing with the repeal of Ordinance No. 3935. 1 strongly
support protection of Critical Areas throughout the City. However the City's critical areas regulations as written, are not
consistent with the City's Best Available Science (BAS) Report. That is why I signed and support the action taken in
Ordinance No. 3935 approved by Council. As explained in the technical memo from staff to the Council, the BAS
assessment concluded that because the city is mostly developed, the main route to improving critical areas and their
buffers was to require buffer enhancement in exchange for allowing development and redevelopment to occur within
the footprint of already developed areas. It was intended that this approach would be reflected in the City's adopted
Critical Areas Ordinance.
Beyond that, and as you know, the action in Ordinance No. 3940, jeopardizes the schedule for City Park improvements.
The City has already assembled funding and begun design of the project which includes a substantial state grant as well
as a major contribution from the Hazel Miller Foundation. The last thing we need to do is jeopardize this critical funding
which would in essence collapse the project.
Regards,
Dave

Councilmember Peterson agreed with postponing this item. He was glad it had been scheduled on the
agenda and materials included for Council review. He advised Councilmember Bloom, Ms. Hite and he
found several excellent examples of Codes of Ethic and Codes of Conduct. Kirkland and Bellevue's code
are nearly identical and likely will be used as a starting point. He suggested Councilmembers familiarize
themselves with Kirkland and Bellevue's codes.
Postponing this item was also acceptable to Councilmember Bloom. She requested Councilmembers
review Kirkland and Bellevue's policies, noting there are a few significant differences. She pointed out
the intent to have an Ethic's Officer.
Councilmember Johnson asked about the fiscal impact of an Ethics Officer. Councilmember Peterson
responded Kirkland has an Ethics Officer and they contact with a law firm. To date they have not had to
utilize their services; the law firm is on standby in the event an issue arises.
Councilmember Bloom noted Kirkland and Bellevue have a City Manager form of government. The
references in their Code of Ethics to elected officials do not include the Mayor.
Councilmember Buckshnis was concerned with the issue of subjectivity. She recalled former
Councilmember Plunkett's concern about the subjectivity of some policies. She noted there are state laws
related to ethics for Councilmembers. She commented on new behaviors she has seen this year,
recognizing that people see things differently based on their backgrounds.
It was agreed to postpone this to a future meeting.
13. PROPOSAL TO RESCIND ORDINANCE NO. 3935 - AN INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE TO
AMEND THE CRITICAL AREAS ORDINANCE, SPECIFICALLY SECTIONS ECDC 23.40.220,
23.40.320, 23.50.020, 23.50.040 AND 23.90.040, TO ALLOW DEVELOPMENT WITHIN LEGALLY
ESTABLISHED IMPERVIOUS AREAS AND WITHIN BUFFER AREAS THAT ARE
PHYSICALLY SEPARATED AND FUNCTIONALLY ISOLATED FROM AN ASSOCIATED
CRITICAL AREA
Councilmember Bloom explained when she reviewed the issue more carefully, she apologized to the
Planning Board for sending the matter to them prematurely. Her concerns are related to the structure
language versus development footprint as well as physically separated and functionally isolated. The
language defines legally established structures or similar circumstances and suggested if something was
functionally isolated and physically separated it did not serve to protect the wetland from adverse impacts
of development. The question then arises if it does not protect the wetland from adverse impacts of
development, can enhancement be enforced. She pointed out physically separated and functionally
isolated are not clearly defined and impervious surfaces are too broadly defined and include gravel roads
as well as compacted surfaces. In addition the enhancements are not clearly defined. Mr. Chave indicated
to her that he preferred to wait until 2015 to clarify the enhancements.
Councilmember Bloom was concerned that rushing to pass the ordinance due to two projects could
possibly result in unintended consequences. In particular functionally isolated and physically separated
could affect numerous properties in the City, not just the spray park. For those reasons, she reconsidered
her vote and asked for this to be scheduled on the agenda. She suggested the Council rescind the
ordinance and bring back the amendments at a future meeting as soon as possible.
COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETSO, TO
RESCIND ORDINANCE NO.3935.
Councilmember Buckshnis expressed concern with the lack of transparency on this item. When she left
Friday, the packet did not include this item. The discussion occurred between two Councilmembers and
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
August 20, 2013

the City Attorney. This was an issue for the Planning Board to consider. She emphasized the intent of the
original ordinance was for the code to reflect Best Available Science as it relates to structures. Repealing
the ordinance will potentially cost the City time and money and will affect the timing of the spray park.
Councilmember Peterson did not support the motion. There were open and frank discussions previously
and a great deal of information presented on two separate occasions. Sometimes Councilmembers may
not be happy with the end result of the process but the Council followed the proper process. Unless there
were extenuating circumstances that the Council had not been made aware of, he did not see a reason to
rescind the ordinance. He suggested Councilmembers respect the process and even if they disagreed or
wanted a redo, it was not always the best course of action.
Council President Petso commented on the process, pointed out this was the Council's first opportunity
under Roberts Rules to rescind a motion. She explained when Councilmember Bloom indicated her
interest in changing her vote, she consulted Roberts Rules and followed the procedure. That procedure
includes notice of the intent to rescind in the meeting notice which was done on Friday. There was still
time to amend the agenda on Friday and City Clerk Sandy Chase created the amended agenda Friday
afternoon. She has been working with Mr. Lien and Ms. Hite on the topic and Councilmember Bloom has
been meeting with staff. She mentioned the topic to at least two other Councilmembers in conversation.
Everyone is working hard to do this right without messing up the spray park project. It may be that the
projects costs more money or needs to be redesigned or that the Council cannot wait for the Planning
Board's expedited review and staff returns with a different proposal. The motion to rescind the interim
ordinance does not stop the Council or staff from working on the issue or the Planning Board from
working on a permanent ordinance. Rescinding the ordinance will stop applications and give the Council
and Planning Board more time to work with staff. She noted paving within critical area buffers is a big
deal and the City must proceed carefully. She was happy with the effort to follow the process under
Robert Rules. She will support the motion to rescind the interim ordinance.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether a motion to reconsider or rescind was appropriate. City
Attorney Jeff Taraday answered there is a Roberts Rules process to place the matter on the agenda. To the
question of how to repeal an ordinance, Mr. Taraday explained an ordinance is repealed via the adoption
of another ordinance. To the extent a majority of the Council desires to repeal the ordinance, there is an
ordinance on the City's Z drive that would accomplish that. The proper motion to undo the interim
ordinance is a motion to approve the ordinance to repeal.
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out Councilmember Bloom's motion was to rescind the motion. Mr.
Taraday explained rescind is the Roberts Rules term and repeal is the RCW term. He preferred the
Council use the term repeal. He interpreted the motion to be to repeal the motion. If the motion is
interpreted as a motion to adopt an ordinance that repeals the interim ordinance, that ordinance should be
presented to the Council.
Councilmember Bloom explained her intent was to repeal the ordinance that was passed two weeks ago
and ask staff to return with an amended ordinance. Mr. Taraday summarized the options:
1. Do nothing
2. Repeal the interim ordinance adopted on August 6
3. Amend the interim ordinance adopted on August 6 (two versions available)
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out the interim ordinance addressed making the critical areas
ordinance consistent with BAS. The discussion now is adding more teeth to the new ordinance. Mr.
Taraday clarified the motion on the floor is to repeal the August 6 interim ordinance.
Council President Petso asked whether the preferred action would be a motion to adopt the ordinance in
the packet that effectively repeals the interim ordinance. If the Council's intent is to repeal the August 6

interim ordinance, Mr. Taraday recommended a Councilmember move the ordinance displayed on the
screen. He summarized repealing an ordinance requires adoption of an ordinance that repeals the original
ordinance.
COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM WITHDREW HER MOTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OF THE
SECOND.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 3940, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, REPEALING INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 3935, WHICH AMENDED THE
CRITICAL AREAS ORDINANCE, SPECIFICALLY SECTIONS EDC 23.40.220, 23.40.320,
23.50.040 AND 23.90.040, TO ALLOW DEVELOPMENT WITHIN LEGALLY ESTABLISHED
IMPERVIOUS AREAS AND WITHIN BUFFER AREAS THAT ARE PHYSICALLY
SEPARATED AND FUNCTIONALLY ISOLATED FROM AN ASSOCIATED CRITICAL AREA.
Recognizing this may be the proper process in Roberts Rules, Councilmember Peterson pointed out the
Council is voting on an ordinance that neither they nor the citizens of Edmonds have seen before now and
that did not satisfy his desire for transparency and public process.
Councilmember Bloom took issue with Councilmember Peterson's reference to transparency, relaying
that this was a transparent process. Under Roberts Rules, a Councilmember has the option to change their
mind which is what she did. She spent a great deal of time talking to staff as well as spoke to the Planning
Board. She relayed Mr. Lien's indication that the interim ordinance could potentially allow an increase in
impervious surface in wetland buffers in other parts of the City. She did not understand why
Councilmember Peterson did not feel this was a transparent process when everything had been done to
make it transparent. The interim ordinance came to the Council without approval of the Parks, Planning
and Public Works (PPP) Committee; the committee recommended it go directly to the Planning Board.
When it was presented to the Council, an interim ordinance was proposed. Her primary concern was
making changes of this degree to the critical areas ordinance without fully considering the unintended
consequences that may result. She found Councilmember Peterson's comments that it was not transparent
very offensive, pointing out this is as transparent as it gets.
Councilmember Peterson appreciated that it was transparent to Councilmember Bloom because she had
been working on it for the last several days. He has not; this is the first time he has seen it. The interim
ordinance was considered over two meetings so that staff could provide additional information. If this had
not been done at the last minute, he still would not support it because he believed in the action the
Council took previously. One of the reasons he did not support the motion was while Councilmember
Bloom, Council President Petso and Mr. Taraday have done a lot of work and talked with staff, he was
not briefed on it and there was nothing in the packet. The last minute nature of this item raised his
concern with transparency. If this had been scheduled on the agenda and he had time to have his questions
answered, that would be transparent. He summarized it has been transparent for a few but not all.
Councilmember Bloom pointed out it had been on the agenda since Friday. Councilmember Peterson
responded there was no supporting documentation in the packet. What the Council is voting on was not
included in the packet.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained after the PPP Committee meeting forwarded the issue to the
Planning Board, President Petso decided to bring it to full Council. This is an interim ordinance; it is on a
fast track for review by the Planning Board. She objected to repealing ordinances on the fly, preferring to
wait for the Planning Board's review. She preferred to allow the spray park project to proceed,
commenting this will impact the timing, budget and scope of that project.

COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. MOTION FAILED
FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Council President Petso said the PPP Committee forwarded this matter to the Planning Board without
coming to full Council. The first the Council heard of it was during reports on committee meetings. Some
people were uncomfortable with the two committee members making the decision to send it to the
Planning Board so she made a decision to include it as a discussion item on a Council agenda. When it
was scheduled, it was no longer a discussion item but included an interim ordinance. She asked the City
Clerk to remove the interim ordinance from the agenda. During the discussion item, staff indicated they
would present an interim ordinance the following week. At that meeting, the Council voted 4-3 to approve
the interim ordinance. One member of the four person majority changed her mind and followed the
correct procedure to bring it back to the Council.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION CARRIED (4-3), COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETSO AND
COUNCILMEMBERS FRALEY-MONILLAS, BLOOM AND JOHNSON VOTING YES; AND

Information
Subiect Title
Action Item: Adoption of longevity pay for non -represented employees.
Recommendation
Council approve revised Nonrepresented Compensation Policy, and discuss effective date.
Previous Council Action
10.
During a discussion of non -represented compensation in general at the November 27, 2012 City Council
meeting, Council declined to take action at that time regarding the topic of logevity pay for
non -represented employees. It was suggested at the time that the issue of longevity pay be brought back to
a future Finance Committee meeting in 2013 for further discussion.
The Finance Committee discussed this at their committee meeting in February and forwarded this to back
to full Council for discussion.
Full Council discussed it in April, 2013, and requested that it come back as part of the budget process
later in the year.
Full Council discussed it again on August 27th, and asked for further information which will be presented.
Narrative
At the Council meeting on August 27th, Council requested additional information. In addition, because
the employee count and amount of longevity that was presented from April has changed, staff revised the
cost which is presented below.
If the Council chose to apply longevity compensation commensurate with SEIU, the financial impact to
the City would be $28,311 with the current tenure of staff:
• 5 employed for 19+ years
• 8 employed 14-19 years
• 3 employed for 10-14 years
• 8 employed for more than 5 years
• 13 employed less than 5 years
Below is the additional information that was requested:
Packet Page 166 of 346
1. What is the fiscal impact if we started the longevity on July 1, 2013: This would cost the city
$14,155.50.
2. What would it cost if we approved a flat rate instead of a percentage, i.e. $500 for every 5 years: If we
apply $500 for every five years of service, and cap it at $2000 for 20 years+ of service, this would cost
the city $29,000 with its current employee population. If we were to apply the SEIU percentages at a flat
rate to the average salary, this would cost the city $26,842.
3. What is the average salary for the management employees that would recieve longevity: The average
salary is $92,559.
4. How many employees that would receive longevity are at their top step? 9
5. What is the fiscal impact for the outlying years: This will vary depending on who leaves/retires, and
new employees hired starting at year one. It will fluctuate from year to year. Because we have an older
employee population, it most likely will be reduced as people retire and the workforce is replaced by new
employees.
It was also requested to attach all previous documents from the Compensation Consultant's
recommendation to this packet. These are attached for your review.
At the Council meeting in April 2013, Council requested this item to come back for dicussion and action
as well. Two items were requested to further the discussion.
The first request was to engage in a disucssion with the levy team, and how this might be perceived as the
City decides to forward a levy to the voters. Since the previous discussion, and the updated budget
forecast, the levy team has requested the Council not file for a ballot measure this year. Therefor this
issue may no longer be a concern.
The second request was to provide information about longevity compensation from our comparator
cities. This is provided in the packet. This packet also includes a table of longevity compensation that
represented employees receive.
In September 2012, the compensation consultant's recommendation was to support some type of
longevity
compensation for nonrepresented employees in consideration of, 1) the commitment of the tenure of City
staff, 2) comparison with comparable cities and internal comparisons, and 3) recognizing the reduction in
earning potential with the new nonrepresented employee salary ranges.
Attached is a revised Nonrepresented Compensation Policy that includes longevity, for Council's
consideration and possible adoption tonight. If adopted, we will bring updates in the Personnel Policies,
and City Code as needed to create consistency.

4. PROCLAMATION IN HONOR OF WHITE CANE DAYS
Mayor Earling read a proclamation declaring May 3-4, 2013 as Lions White Cane Days in Edmonds. He
presented the proclamation to several members of the Edmonds Lions Club.
Brian Evans, President, Edmonds Lions Club, explained the Lions Club has been in existence since
1917 and started with Helen Keller. Their focus is sight and hearing impairments but they also provide
student scholarships, assist the Edmonds Food Bank, hold a raffle, and assist with Sierra Park for the
Blind. They welcome assistance and new members. He presented Mayor Earling with a pen/flashlight.
5. PROCLAMATION IN HONOR OF LOYALTY DAY
Mayor Earling read a proclamation declaring May 1, 2013 as Loyalty Day in the City of Edmonds. He
commented it is particularly important to acknowledge this day in light of recent events in Boston. He
presented the proclamation to Jim Blossey. Mr. Blossey introduced Commander Fred Apgar, VFW Post
8870. On behalf of Post 8870 and the hundreds of combat veterans who reside in Edmonds, Mr. Blossey
thanked the Council for the proclamation. He encouraged the public to pause on May 1 to remember those
who have served and those who have given their lives.
6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Maggie Fimia, Edmonds, expressed her disappointment with the outcome of the Harbor Square Master
Plan. She envisioned someone coming to the City with a permit application to build a new home within
the limits of the existing zoning and development code, noting they would expect to receive a permit. If
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes

Page 2
Packet Page 173 of 346
the neighbor protested and went to the City Council, it would be wrong for the Council to tell the
Planning Department not to issue the permit. There are codes and laws because the City functions under a
rule of law; predictable rules carried out as uniformly as possible, no favorites, no enemies. The GMA
and Comprehensive Plan are existing rules; if the Council does not like the Comprehensive Plan, there is
a process for amending it but they cannot just reject a project that is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan without stating it is not consistent or how it is not consistent. The Council has not stated how the
Harbor Square Master Plan with the recommendations provided by the Planning Board is not consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan. The appropriate process would have been to work with the Port on
amendments that were amenable to all. She requested answers to the questions she sent last week and
again today:
1. How the choice not to accept the Port's Master Plan and begin developing a Council subarea plan was
consistent with the State GMA, which required the City to prepare a non -project EIS along with two
pages of other significant and costly requirements. If the Council had amended the Port's proposal,
those would not have been required.
2. How the Council could have adopted a subarea plan that was potentially inconsistent with the existing
Comprehensive Plan such as no residential, no additional height, 150 foot buffers, and no mixed use.
She referenced pages 51, 52 and 55 of the Comprehensive Plan that reference mixed use.
Michael Schindler, Edmonds, commented he may have been rough on the Council last week,
commenting this was a no -growth Council without a plan. He has yet to see a plan and expressed interest
in seeing a plan. His business is located in Edmonds and three generations of his family live in Edmonds.
Little can be accomplished without teamwork and partnership and work needs to be done with respect and
with respect for people and process. In his view some processes were dropped. He pointed out a majority
of the Council believe that major changes could be done to a vetted process and plan without
consequences. The consequences are serious and if action is not taken to rectify the consequences, they
will be long lasting. The consequences include public trust, health of the marsh, public enjoyment of the
marsh, economic development, ability to comply with GMA and environmental goals, housing prices,
downtown vibrancy, future development proposals by responsible developers, perception of government
as wasteful and arrogant, and loss of revenue. He urged the Council to develop a plan for public review.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, explained tonight the Council passed an ordinance that raised building
heights in Edmonds, an ordinance that is based on a public hearing that only advertised step -backs for the
BD2 — 4 zones and blade signs with no reference to building heights. Neither tonight's agenda nor the
public hearing referenced building heights. He explained the building height in Edmonds was established
as 25 feet in Edmonds several years ago; anything above that is an incentive, not a standard height. With
the passage of the ordinance, 30 feet is now the standard building height. He said the Council, 1)
conducted an illegal hearing because it was not properly advertised and 2) did not include results of the
ordinance on building heights in the description. He summarized Councilmembers Buckshnis,
Yamamoto, Peterson and Johnson all voted to raise building heights.
7. ANNUAL REPORTS BY THE SNOHOMISH COUNTY TOURISM BUREAU AND SNOHOMISH
COUNTY TOURISM PROMOTION AREA.
Community Services/Economic Development Director Stephen Clifton introduced Amy Spain,
Executive Director, Snohomish County Tourism Bureau. Ms. Spain described the importance of
tourism to economic development. Visitors to Washington State spent $16.9 million in 2012; accounting
for nearly $1.1 billion in local/state tax revenues. She described the impact of tourism on wages, salaries,
profits and taxes. The Washington Tourism Alliance (WTA) was created when the State tourism office
closed in 2011; as a membership organization, it is not a sustainable, competitive model. She highlighted
competitor states' tourism budgets. WTA's long term funding principles include:
• Privately governed
• Possibly some state funding, but not control
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
April 23, 2013
Page 3
Packet Page 174 of 346
• Broad -based responsibility
• Inclusive of all sectors of the tourism industry
• Currently evaluating alternative models and funding levels
• Partnership with other tourism sectors (retail, transportation, hotels, recreation, attractions)
• Critical long term funding issues include:
o Dedicated funds
o Industry sector balance
o Sectors determine assessment method
o Show return on Investment
o Requested bridge funding from State Legislature
Ms. Spain commented travel and tourism is one of the most important "export -oriented" industries in
Washington. Spending by visitors generates sales in lodging, food services, recreation, transportation, and
retail businesses — the "travel industry." These sales support jobs for Washington residents and contribute
tax revenue to local and state governments. She provided several statistics regarding the impact of travel
to the local economy:
• Overnight travelers to Washington State:
o Average 2.3 people per travel party
o Stay 2.5 nights
o Spend $458 per travel party per day
o Totaling $16.9 billion
• The economic impact of tourism in Snohomish County includes 9,340 jobs, $217.3 million in
payroll, $16.6 million in local taxes, and $45.9 million in State taxes
• Visitor spending in Snohomish County is $875.8 million per year; up 1% from previous year
• The recovery in the travel industry is stabilizing: Washington State as a whole increased revenue
6.9% while room demand increased by just 3.3%
• Snohomish County's recovery is being led by increased revenue: 10.7% increase in revenue and a
1.7% increase in demand over 2011
Ms. Spain also reported the following:
• Generated 13,176 requests for information from ads; a slight decrease from 2011
• Web visitors for Snohomish.org, SnohomishCountyWeddings.com and RoomsAtPar.com; up
23.4 % over 2011
• SCTB visitor centers served 11,974 visitors. Countywide centers served 91,386 visitors.
• Achieved $458,000 of free media coverage — up 4%
• 7,415 definite and 6,150 tentative group and convention room nights were booked in 2012
representing $21 million in economic impact
• Hotel occupancy levels were up 1.7% to 66.5%; ADR was up 8.8% leading to an increase in
RevPar of 10.7%
• Hotel motel tax collections were up 5.7%.
She reported on convention and group tour sales and service:
• Ads were placed in meeting and event planners, reunion and sports related publications
generating requests for information
• Conducted 16 familiarization tours for meeting, group tour and international tour and travel
planners and domestic and international media in the communities of Edmonds, Everett,
Lynnwood, Monroe, Mukilteo, Snohomish, Stanwood, Sultan and Tulalip
• Conducted 4 sales missions to Vancouver BC, Olympia, Seattle, Boulder CO and Colorado
Springs, resulting in 45 new leads for hotels and attractions in Snohomish County and distribution
of 86 packets of information
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
April 23, 2013
Page 4
Packet Page 175 of 346
• 19 trade shows generated 13,773 direct leads and distribution of 3,764 tourism guides in 2012
• Assisted 44 groups with conference services distributing 1,600 guides to attendees
• Group tour, meeting and event planner bids were prepared which resulted in 7,415 total definite
room nights with an economic impact of $17.3million
• Additional pending bookings at year end totaled 6,150 room nights and an additional $3.7 million
of economic impact.
• Primary decrease in economic impact due to recording Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships
in 2011
The sports market continues to be a significant segment contributing $15.4 million in economic impact.
Recognition and awards included:
• Finalist for NASC Member of the Year
• Sports Events Magazine Readers' Choice Award for the 3rd year

familiarization tours held in 2012 to Snohomish, Stanwood and Tulalip, and Lynwood and Edmonds that
included tours of six lodging facilities from Edmonds to Arlington, Marysville and Mukilteo.
Ms. Spain described industry education the Bureau provided:
• Four countywide tourism related programs
• Creation of two of six planned video training segments:
o Aviation attractions
o Shopping and gaming
• Four additional video training segments planned in 2013
o Arts, Culture and History
o Farms, Agriculture, Wineries and Distilleries
o Outdoor Recreation
o Spectator Sports
• Creation of Tourism Bingo, a training program for frontline hospitality staff members
• Two training familiarization tours held for frontline staff members at local hotels
She reviewed 2013 initiatives:
• Launch of the new destination brand
• Launch new website
• Four more training videos
• Industry sector events/tours/tickets to train
• frontline staff
• New cyber tours
• New itineraries, maps and promotions to assist visitors in exploring all of Snohomish County
Jessica Voelker, Coordinator, Snohomish County Tourism Promotion Area (TPA), thanked the City
and Council for their continued support of the TPA, and Mr. Clifton who serves on the TPA Board. She
explained the TPA is a funding source established by the lodging industry to increase overnight stays in
Snohomish County. The grant is open to applications from non-profit and for -profit organizations as well
as municipalities. The grants can fund a wide range of expenses outside marketing and promotion such as
facilities costs, bid fees and transportation. Grant applications are available online and are accepted on an
ongoing basis; applications are due on the first of each month. She displayed the TPA's website,
www.snocotpa.com. The website includes information on previously funded projects and eligibility
requirements. Fourteen projects were funded in 2012 and an additional 14 have been funded to date in
2013. Four projects in 2012 affected Edmonds directly and two took place in Edmonds; these included:
• Triple Crown Sports Memorial Day Tournament — more than 160 teams competed in a youth
baseball tournament over a 3-day period
o Four of the fields were in the Edmonds School District
• Snohomish County Sports and Marketing Program
• Write on the Sound Writers Conference
• Edmonds Half Marathon — TPA Board recommended funding but the event was ultimately not
eligible for reimbursement
In 2013 there has been only one applicant from Edmonds; that applicant was not recommended for a TPA
grant but she directed them to alternative funding sources such as the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee
(LTAC) and the Hazel Miller grant. Three Edmonds programs were funded in 2012 via LTAC: Olympic
Ballet, Edmonds Center for the Arts and Edmonds wayfinding signs.
Ms. Voelker provided an educational flyer regarding applying for a financial grant via the TPA. Ideas for
future funding in Edmonds from the TPA could include the development of new festivals, conventions,
tech conferences, multi -day events and expos, a run or athletic event, state choir championship or multi -
day sporting event. The TPA was designed to be flexible to provide resources to bring economic

development and overnight stays to the City. She considered herself an advocate for the lodging industry
as well as the community and is always available to meet personally with prospective applicants to
discuss their projects before and during the application process.
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to the 1% increase in visitor spending in Snohomish County and
asked how that compared to other counties in the state and nation. Ms. Spain answered due to the closure
of the State Tourism Office, any marketing in Washington State is done by individual destination
marketing organizations. In 2012 the Seattle Visitor's Bureau was successful in creating a program
similar to the TPA that generated $8 million that was used to advertise the region and Washington State.
As a result, Seattle had a much higher increase in visitor spending. Tri-Cities received approximately $1
million in federal grants that was used for tourism promotion; they too saw an increase in visitors. She
summarized the increase fluctuates by county. Snohomish County is typically in the top three in regard to
visitor spending. She offered to provide the percentage for each county.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked whether the SCTB interacted with the Economic Alliance Snohomish
County. Ms. Spain answered Economic Alliance Snohomish County partners with SCTB on specific
tourism -related projects. The Alliance's focus is on lobbying efforts and economic development.
8. DISCUSSION: PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE TIME FRAME FOR
VALIDITY OF PRELIMINARY SHORT PLAT APPROVAL AS ESTABLISHED IN ECDC
20.75.100 (FILE NO. AMD20130002).
Associate Planner Jen Machuga explained a subdivision into four lots or less is considered a short plat.
Currently ECDC 20.75.100 limits the validity of preliminary short plat approval to 5 years. During that
timeframe, the applicant would need to submit for civil review or provide the City with detailed
engineering drawings showing proposed civil improvements associated with the subdivision. Following
the City's review and approval of the civil plans, the applicant may either construct or bond for the civil
improvements. At the end of that phase of the process, the applicant would then submit for final review
where staff checks that all conditions of preliminary short plat approval have been met and the
subdivision would be recorded with Snohomish County.
In the past this process was completed by most applicants well under the five year time limit. However,
the economic downturn caused unanticipated delays to several projects. Recognizing the impact of the
economic downturn, State law was revised to increase the timeframe for the validity of formal plats,
subdivisions into 5 lots or more, to 7 years for formal plats that received preliminary approval on or
before December 31, 2014, after which the timeframe for formal plats will revert to 5 years.
At the January 22, 2013 Council meeting a member of the public requested the City consider increasing
the current 5 year timeframe for preliminary short plats to 7 years to provide applicants impacted by the
economic downturn an opportunity to complete their projects. This was discussed with the Parks,
Planning and Public Works Committee on February 11, 2013; the committee was receptive to potentially
increasing the timeframe and forwarded the item to the Planning Board. The Planning Board held a
discussion and a public hearing and recommended approval of extending the current short plat timeframe.
Ms. Machuga stated the draft code provides reference to State law requirements regarding the timeframe
for formal plats as well as new language related to the timeframe for short plats to increase the timeframe
to 7 years for short plats that obtained preliminary approval on or before December 31, 2013, and a 5 year
time frame for short plats that obtained preliminary approval on or after January 1, 2014. The draft code
establishes the provision to extend the time limit to 2 years from the effective date of the ordinance for
short plats that obtained preliminary approval on or after January 1, 2006 and would have expired prior to
adoption of the ordinance. She pointed out a public hearing is scheduled on May 7; tonight is intended to
provide the Council an overview prior to the public hearing and to answer any questions.

Councilmember Buckshnis thanked staff for providing examples she requested of timeframes established
for short plat approval for other cities. She expressed her support for moving forward.
Councilmember Bloom commented the draft ordinance references RCW 58.17.140 but does not reference
the specific time limits established. She asked whether the time limits could be included in the ordinance.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday explained that provision of the RCW has changed multiple times in the last
few years due to the economic downturn. Rather than amend the City's code whenever the Legislature
changes the timeline, it is preferable to reference the applicable RCW.
Councilmember Bloom asked the current time limits. Mr. Taraday answered it is as long as 9 years in
some cases. Ms. Machuga commented the Legislature made a recent change to the RCW.
9. APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR'S REQUEST FOR AN ADDITIONAL PERIOD OF
APPOINTMENT OF ROB CHAVE AS ACTING DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
TO INCLUDE JANUARY 1, 2013 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2013, AND CORRESPONDING
OUT OF CLASS PAY.
Councilmember Bloom commented her concerns are not related to Rob Chave as the Acting Director but
with the process. She referred to the March 6, 2012 minutes in which Mayor Earling stated he understood
the Council's interest in a policy change regarding a policy change regarding future appointments and
pointing out this is an interim position to last no longer than the end of the year. Her concern was
extending this again, relaying everyone dropped the ball by not funding the position in 2013. She recalled
the Development Services Director position was vacated by Duane Bowman in 2007/2008. It is a key
position that has been vacant for a long time; Mr. Chave has done the job of both the Planning Manager
and the Development Services Director last year and was being asked to do it again this year. She wanted
to ensure the Development Services Director position was funded during the 2014 budget process.
Councilmember Buckshnis advised the out of class pay was included in the 2013 budget. Councilmember
Bloom relayed her understanding that the Interim Development Services Director position was to end
December 31, 2012. Therefore, the 2013 budget process should have included funds for a Development
Services Director.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained she was aware during the 2013 budget discussions that the position
would not be filled due to budget constraints. She expressed support for appointing Mr. Chave to an
additional period as the acting director. She suggested the Council discuss whether the Development
Services Director position would continue as a vacant position or should be removed.
Council President Petso agreed the action taken last year was to appoint an acting director temporarily
through yearend and the action tonight is to appoint Mr. Chave to the position temporarily until the end of
2013. She was content to extend the appointment of Mr. Chave for the year and wait until the budget
process to discuss the position further. At that time the Council may have levy results and the position
could then be considered for restored funding.
Council President Petso recalled when the Council discussed the appointment last year, there were
questions about the process of appointing an interim director and revisions to Chapter 2. The Parks,
Planning and Public Works Committee discussed that for two months and were to review it again but did
not. She will schedule it for the next Parks, Planning and Public Works Committee meeting.
Mayor Earling explained during the budget process he made a conscious decision not to seek a full-time
Development Services Director position and continue with an acting director. He anticipated with
benefits, the cost for that position would be $135,000 - $160,000/year. Had that position been filled,
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
April 23, 2013
Page 8
Packet Page 179 of 346
another full time position would have been eliminated. He assured Mr. Chave has done a spectacular job
fulfilling that role during the past year and is willing to do so again this year.
Councilmember Bloom wanted to ensure this issue is addressed because it is a key position and has many
oversight responsibilities. She suggested considering other options to make that position work.
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER YAMAMOTO,
THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE THE MAYOR'S REQUEST FOR AN ADDITIONAL PERIOD
OF APPOINTMENT OF ROB CHAVE AS ACTING DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
SERVICES TO INCLUDE JANUARY 1, 2013 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND THE
CORRESPONDING OUT OF CLASS PAY. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
10. DISCUSSION REGARDING ALTERNATIVES FOR NON -REPRESENTED LONGEVITY
COMPENSATION.
Parks & Recreation/Human Resources Reporting Director Carrie Hite explained this is a continued
discussion from July and September 2012, and the November 2012 Finance Committee. The City hired a
compensation consultant last year to complete a salary survey and recommend nonrepresented
compensation policy language which the Council adopted in September 2012. At that time the Council
requested staff present options regarding longevity compensation to the Finance Committee.
The packet includes a table of longevity compensation that represented employees receive. The Finance
Committee discussed longevity compensation in February 2013 and recommended it be presented to full
Council for discussion. The consultant's recommendation was to support some type of longevity
compensation in consideration of, 1) the commitment of the tenure of City staff, 2) comparison with
comparable cities and internal comparisons, and 3) recognizing the reduction in earning potential with the
new nonrepresented employee salary ranges.
If the Council chose to apply longevity compensation commensurate with SEIU and/or Teamsters, the
financial impact to the City would be $37,413 with the current tenure of staff:
0 7 employed for 19+ years
0 6 employed 14-19 years
0 4 employed for 10-14 years
0 9 employed for more than 5 years
0 13 employed less than 5 years
Ms. Hite requested direction from the Council regarding longevity compensation.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented the longevity pay for the represented groups is based on a
package of compensation that each group negotiates. She was concerned with considering only one of the
package items, longevity pay, for nonrepresented employees. She was also concerned that this was not the
best economic climate to present this to the citizens. Ms. Hite explained a full package was presented to
the Council with the results of the salary survey conducted by the compensation consultant. The Council
pulled longevity compensation from the package and asked to have it discussed separately.
For Councilmember Fraley-Monillas, Ms. Hite explained the compensation consultant made several
recommendations. One was to place nonrepresented employees on a salary range progression as it was
subjective when employees received steps or increases and the City was increasing its own liability
without objectivity in the nonrepresented salary ranges. The salary ranges now mirror represented
employees at 5%. Every nonrepresented employee was placed on a step and the steps are advanced by 5%
subject to authorization of Council via the budget process. That recommendation was approved by
Council.
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
April 23, 2013
Page 9
Packet Page 180 of 346
Another of the consultant's recommendations was cost of living adjustments (COLA) commensurate with
union employees. The Council approved the Mayor including COLAs in the budget subject to Council
approval/revision. In the salary comparisons with comparable cities, there were several compensation
packages offered by other cities that Edmonds does not offer nonrepresented employees. For example,
deferred compensation of 1% and 2%, which was not approved by the Council. Several cities offered 40
and 50 hours of management leave; the Council approved management leave of 24 hours. The consultant
also recommended an educational incentive for commissioned police officers which was not approved by
the Council. There was also discussion regarding employment contracts for director level positions and
possibly other nonrepresented positions. She summarized the Council approved the 5% salary
ranges/steps which reduced salary growth potential for nonrepresented employees by 50%, placed
nonrepresented employees on steps and progressing through steps at 5% subject to Council approval via
the budget process, Mayor -recommended COLA increases that are subject to Council approval, and
management leave.
Councilmember Buckshnis observed the longevity compensation would affect 26 nonrepresented
employees. She observed the total impact on the budget was approximately $37,000 for the 26 employees
on a percentage basis based on the table in the Council packet. She acknowledged these are trying times
but some employees have been with the City for a long time. She expressed support for some type of
longevity compensation due to the importance of a monetary reward for long time employees.
Councilmember Peterson commented on the extra work done by staff due to the limited amount of staff.
He supported longevity pay equal to SEIU, commenting that was a small price to pay for the loyalty,
expertise and history of long time staff, an invaluable resource. This is especially an invaluable resource
in an economy that is turning around; the City needs to retain its experienced staff as the job market
becomes more competitive.
Council President Petso inquired about the vacation benefit for nonrepresented employees, whether they
received full vacation from day one. Ms. Hite answered directors start at one amount of vacation with no
increase; other employees start at a low level that increases over time, commensurate with union
employees.
Council President Petso asked why would anyone want to be in a union if nonrepresented employees
receive all the benefits given to union employees and even more for directors. Ms. Hite answered a union
employee is a protected employee who can bump during layoffs; nonrepresented employees can be laid
off at any time with no bumping rights. Union employees are able to earn comp time or overtime for
hours over 40 hours/week which nonrepresented employees do not. In the past 1'/2 months there have
been opportunities for 2 staff to promote within the organization from a union position to a non -union
position and neither wanted to be a nonrepresented employee due to the vulnerability of those positions.
As a result, recruitment was done outside the organization for those two positions. She summarized one
of the advantages of considering the benefit package for nonrepresented employees is the ability to attract
internal candidates. She expected that would continue to happen in the future. The Council had several
discussions regarding nonrepresented compensation last year and there has been discussion by union
employees who do not want to promote from within the organization.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented that was their choice. She reiterated nonrepresented
employees received 24 hours of management leave, a 5% step and a COLA. She supported paying people
a decent salary and paying what they were worth. But when the Council may be considering the
possibility of a levy, she was not interested in adding longevity pay in addition to management leave, the
5% step and COLA.
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes

Packet Page 181 of 346
Council President Petso summarized there seems to some interest in presenting a draft longevity
compensation proposal to the Council. Ms. Hite suggested if the Council made a decision tonight, it could
be incorporated into the policy with policy changes presented to the Council to reflect longevity
compensation. She clarified not all nonrepresented employees received management leave, only managers
and directors. The other nonrepresented employees can request approval for hour -for -hour comp time.
Councilmember Johnson asked whether the recommendation was for this fiscal year and if so, how would
it be funded, or is it a recommendation for the next fiscal year. Ms. Hite responded the recommendation is
a policy change and the funding source is year-end balance. The Council can decide when it would be
effective. There are four options:
1. Effective retroactively to January 2013
2. Start it July 1
3. Include it in 2014 budget
4. Do nothing
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if the compensation study provided a comparison of other cities. Ms.
Hite replied the survey provided information from cities that responded to the survey request.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked staff to provide a comparison of what other cities do for their
nonrepresented employees.
Council President Petso preferred the Council not take action tonight so that the Council could receive the
information Councilmember Buckshnis requested and because this item was scheduled on the agenda as a
discussion item. Not taking action tonight would also give Ms. Hite an opportunity to discuss the issue
and the timing with the levy team.
Mayor Earling summarized this item will be scheduled on a future agenda with the information the
Council requested.
11. PARK IMPACT STUDY RESULTS
Mayor Earling reported he attended the Washington Recreation and Park Association (WRPA) Annual
Conference in Vancouver, Washington, where Edmonds received three awards:
• Edmonds Floretum Garden Club
• Best Facility — Hazel Miller Plaza
• Edmonds' partnership with Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood on 3`d grade swim lessons
sponsored by Verdant
Mayor Earling advised Ms. Hite is the President-elect of WRPA. Ms. Hite stated a press release will be
issued to announce the awards. She explained the Floretum Garden Club received one of the highest
awards that WRPA gives, a Citation of Merit — Organization.
Ms. Hite explained the Council authorized the completion of a Park Impact Fee Study on March 6, 2012.
The City hired a consultant, Randy Young, Henderson Young and Company, to prepare the study.
Randy Young, Henderson Young and Company, explained a park impact fee is one way to augment
funding of the capital cost of the City's park system and there are a number of options. He explained the
initial mission was to identify the maximum defensible impact fee under Washington law that the City
could choose to charge. Over 70 Washington cities have a park impact fee, many do not. His role was not
as an advocate for a park impact fee but an expert resource in determining whether a park impact fee is
appropriate for Edmonds.
Mr. Young provided a definition of an impact fee: a one-time payment paid by new development for
capital costs of facilities needed by new development. He identified reasons to charge impact fees:
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
April 23, 2013
Page 11
Packet Page 182 of 346
Revenue: for public facilities
Policy: growth pays a portion of costs so taxpayers don't pay the whole cost
Quality of life: public facilities keep up with growth
To the question of why Edmonds needs an impact fee when Edmonds is built out, Mr. Young pointed out:
• Conversions from single-family to multi -family, and/or construction of multi -family
• Population growth next six years = 1,237
• Transportation impact fees collected in Edmonds for 2004 — 2010 = $ 571,872
Mr. Young reviewed the rules for impact fees:
1. Fair Share= growth only, not deficiencies
2. "Reasonably needed", "proportionate share" = fee proportional to impacts
3. Credits = no double charging (e.g. need to consider funding in CIP)
4. "Cannot rely solely on impact fees" = cannot charge 100% of growth's costs
He reviewed what impact fees can/cannot pay for:
• Can pay for "system improvements" in adopted CIP
• Cannot pay for "project improvements" (i.e., common areas of the development)
• Cannot pay for repair, replacement, renovation
• Eligible land and facilities include parks, open space and recreation facilities
Factors in the calculation of park impact fee include:
1) Growth forecast; 2) Cost per "person;" and 3) Impact fee rates
Growth Forecast
Mr. Young displayed and reviewed forecasts for population growth forecasts for 1940- 2025 (table 2,
page 10 of study) from the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan and employment growth forecasts (table
3, page 11) from the Puget Sound Regional Council for 2000-2025. He explained the proposed impact fee
could be charged to residential as well as businesses. He displayed and reviewed a Growth of Equivalent
Population and Employment by land use category. A coefficient is determined based on the number of
hours an employee works, type of business, amount of time they work in the City and the number of
customers they attract. He summarized the total 2011-2025 Growth Equivalent Population was 5,880.

Mr. Young referenced tables in the appendix that were used to create the Equivalent Population
Coefficient: Employee Hours in Location (per employee) — Table A-1, page 21, Visitor Hours in Location
(per employee) — Table A-2, page 22, and Table A-3, page 22.
Mr. Young reviewed potential revenue from park impact fees:
• Equivalent population population growth to 2025 = 5,880
• 5,880 growth - 12 years = 490/year
• 490 x $1,235 = $605,000 / year

Mr. Young explained the impact fee rate study provides sound basis for park impact fees, but Edmonds
has options:
1. Residential only, not commercial
• Removal all data about employment
• Revise cost per person
• Do the math to calculate new rates

4. Exempt low-income housing
• Adopt definition of "low income housing"
• Identify timing of paying for exempted fees
• Identify source of paying for exempted fees
Student Representative Walker Kasinadhuni referred to option 1 where businesses are exempt from
paying impact fees and asked why the same could not be done for low income housing. Mr. Young
answered choosing not to charge business is not an exemption under the statute. It would be a finding by
the City Council that the impact of the business community on the parks systems is not enough to require
they pay an impact fee. There is explicit authorization in the statute for exemptions for low income
housing and other broad public purposes which has come to mean something like exempting the school
district from the transportation impact fee.
Mr. Young continued his review of options:
5. Increase revenue from other sources
• Identify other sources that could be raised such as grants, local taxes, bonds
• Determine the amount that can be raised
• Revise the 30.33% city investment

6. Do not adopt park impact fees
• Raise other revenue
o Consequence is growth pays less, taxpayers pay more
• Reduce level of service
o No new parks, quality of life is reduced
Mr. Young explained the purpose of tonight's presentation was to take Council comments, questions.
Next steps include finalizing the impact fee study and, if the Council is interested in proceeding,
preparing a draft ordinance and holding a public hearing.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday commented there are a lot of unknowns with regard to how the courts will
treat impact fee assumptions in Mr. Young's presentation. His reaction was it was an extremely
conservative approach to impact fees. For example, the 30% reduction for other funding, there is nothing
in State law that requires all grant funds to be excluded from the impact fee calculation. He did not
necessarily think the maximum fee Mr. Young stated the City could charge would be the maximum but it
was a way of looking at it. Mr. Young concurred, suggesting if the 30% were not included in the
calculation, the Council could indicate the grant funds would be used for repairs and maintenance that are
not intended to serve new development.
Councilmember Buckshnis requested a copy of Mr. Young's PowerPoint. She asked what other cities do
not charge a commercial park impact fee. Mr. Young responded out of 74-75 cities that charge a park
impact fee, only 10 charge a commercial impact fee (Redmond, Mountlake Terrace (only Town Center),
Arlington, Tukwila, Poulsbo, Linden, Pasco, Burlington, Sumner, Ephrata, and Zillah).
Councilmember Buckshnis asked what cities have a reduced rate. Mr. Young answered many cities
discount the rate rather than phase it. Councilmember Buckshnis asked how the rate was reduced. Mr.
Young answered there was no law or case law about how to make a reduction but all the rate categories
must be reduced by the same percentage.
Councilmember Peterson observed Mountlake Terrace only charges a park impact fee for businesses in
the Town Center. He asked if the City could be divided into residential zones where the park impact fee
would not be charged. Mr. Young answered yes, referring to RCW 82.02 that states the city shall identify
one or more service areas for its impact fees. For example many cities divide their city into zones for a
transportation impact fee. Edmonds could be divided into zones; there would need to be a rational basis
for calculating the different rates. Another unintended consequence of creating too many zones is no zone
collects enough to build a park. When a city is divided into zones, the funds collected must be used in the
zone where they are collected.
Councilmember Peterson asked whether the park impact fee could be less if there were incentives in the
City's code for small units such as 700 square feet. Mr. Young answered the square footage data set is
pretty thin other than the annual American Housing Survey (AHS). His proposal is very conservative; the
highest defensible. The smallest size increment available from AHS data set is 1400 square feet which
would mean any construction 1400 square feet and below would not pay the park impact fee.
Councilmember Peterson asked if it was appropriate to be doing the PROS Plan update concurrently with
a park impact fee study. Ms. Hite stated it is ideal to do them concurrently. The current PROS Plan does
not identify future growth needs, only deficiencies. The PROS Plan update can address the current and
future level of service.
Councilmember Peterson asked if funds collected from a park impact fee could be used for a park
anywhere in the City. Mr. Young explained the value per capita approach allows the funds to be used for
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
April 23, 2013

Packet Page 186 of 346
neighborhood, citywide or area -wide parks. Not adopting service area zones recognizes that
residents/businesses use parks citywide. He summarized park impact fees are not based on actual use but
accessibility/availability. Conversely transportation impact fees are based on actual use using data sets for
individual land uses.
Councilmember Peterson asked if a retail only zone could be exempted. Mr. Young replied the only way
to exempt a zone is to never build another park in the zone or direct all grant funds to parks in that zone.
Councilmember Johnson noted park impact fees could not address deficiencies. The Capital Facilities
Plan includes approximately six projects with funding of $34 - 60 million in the 2019-2025 timeframe.
She asked how that fit into a park impact fee. Mr. Young stated to meet the requirement to consider other
funds, the City's short and long term planning documents and the funding mechanisms were considered.
Councilmember Johnson advised all of the City's REET funds are dedicated to parks. She inquired the
amount of capital funding that would be available if Parks Capital REET funds are excluded. Ms. Hite
clarified REET 1 is not dedicated to parks; it is dedicated to City infrastructure and currently is paying for
City Hall, Edmonds Center for the Arts, seismic upgrade at Frances Anderson Center, and debt service on
Marina Beach. The remainder is used for City infrastructure. The first $750,000 of REET 2 is dedicated to
parks; the remainder is dedicated to streets. Projects funded by the $750,000 Parks capital in the next six
years include playground replacements, resurfacing basketball and tennis courts, trail improvements, tree
removal and pruning, etc. In 2013, $500,000 is allocated to match a $500,000 State grant to revitalize City
Park with a spray pad, playground equipment, etc. Cutting those capital funds would have a very large
impact on parks. Park impact fees are not intended to supplant those funds; they are for future growth.
Mr. Young explained the 30% was determined by a precise analysis; Ms. Hite reviewed projects on the
capital projects list to identify projects that add capacity and would be eligible for a park impact fee. The
projects that were not eligible and the associated funding were not included in the calculation. The 30% is
funds for projects that are capacity -adding. Ms. Hite provided an example of a project in the CFP that was
included in the 30%, the Woodway Fields project, which adds capacity for the current, future and regional
population. The first phase of that project is $4 million.
Council President Petso asked whether Esperance was taken into account as it is in Edmonds' GMA
planning area. Mr. Young answered the study considered current city limits only.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented many citizens think the Port is responsible for the Edmonds
Marsh when it is actually the City. She asked if park impact fees could be utilized to daylight Willow
Creek or restoring the marsh. Ms. Hite replied the marsh rehab has been identified as a deficiency in the
current system but it will also benefit future residents. She recalled a 50% factor was used for the marsh
rehabilitation. She noted there was not a great deal of funding in the CFP for the marsh at this time.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if the marsh study needed to be completed first. Ms. Hite agreed it did.
Councilmember Bloom asked if there were other housing types that could be exempted from park impact
fees such as green buildings. Mr. Young advised there are two specific authorized exemptions in the
statute, low income housing and other broad public purposes. There is no case law or Hearing Examiner
rulings regarding broad public purposes. A few cities are pushing the envelope but because he was
conservative and did not want to put his clients at risk, he suggested having that conversation with the
City Attorney. Mr. Taraday said he would generally agree. As a practical matter, because the City has to
pay itself the impact fee for anything it chooses to exempt, the City cannot afford to push the envelope too
far. The Council has a great deal of discretion regarding what it chooses to exempt via other broad public
purposes.
With regard to Esperance, Mr. Young explained typically studies are done on existing city limits.
Olympia negotiated with Thurston County for a reciprocal impact fee outside their city limits. Following
a recent annexation that increased their population by 40%, he suggested Kirkland talk to their City
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
April 23, 2013
Page 16
Packet Page 187 of 346
Attorney about using the existing impact fee rates until a new study can be conducted. The other
alternative would be a moratorium on building permits in the annexed area until a new study is conducted.
Councilmember Johnson noted the Yost Pool project in the CFP has a range of $5 — 23 million and
several other projects have ranges. There is also a $5 million placeholder in the CFP for an art museum.
She asked how the lack of certainty in the CFP was considered. Mr. Young answered in the instances
where there were ranges, he discussed with Ms. Hite whether to use the top or mid -point of the range.
Councilmember Johnson suggested if the park impact fee is done concurrently with the PROS Plan, more
certainty could be provided in those project estimates. Ms. Hite stated all the CFP projects will be
reviewed including a public process to prioritize projects and to refine cost estimates. For example the
aquatics study includes a range but the adopted preference is an $8 million project which was used in the
park impact fee study.
If the Council agreed a park impact fee had merit, Ms. Hite recommended scheduling a public hearing
and she will prepare a draft ordinance. Councilmember Buckshnis suggested a Council committee review
it first to discuss the six options.
Council President Petso requested Councilmembers submit comments to Ms. Hite via email. If a
consensus emerges from the comments, it can be scheduled for full Council. If there are conflicts, she will
schedule review for Council committee.
Mayor Earling announced Item 13 would be deferred to the May 7 meeting. He declared a brief recess.
12. DISCUSSION: SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM UPDATE
Senior Planner Kernen Lien explained his presentation tonight will focus on how the Shoreline Master
Program (SMP) update affects single family development and the Meadowdale Marina.
He described the SMP's relationship to other plans and regulations:
• 24.10.030 — Relationship to Other Plans or Regulations
o SMP is adopted element in Edmonds Comprehensive Plan
o SMP works in tandem with rest of ECDC
■ Uses, developments, and activities must comply with ECDC and SMP
■ SMP prevails where there are conflicts
He explained the draft SMP includes 11 shoreline environmental designations; of those 11, 3 are shoreline
residential development:
• Shoreline Residential I
o North Edmonds east of railroad, RS-12 & RS-20 zoning
• Shoreline Residential II
o East of railroad, RS-6 zoning
• Shoreline Residential III
o Lake Ballinger, RSW-12
The main permit for shoreline is Shoreline Substantial Development Permit.
• Single family residences is a preferred shoreline use (RCW 58.17.020)
• Most single family developments exempt for shoreline substantial development permit process;
however,
• Single family development must still comply with the regulations within the SMP
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
April 23, 2013
Page 17
Packet Page 188 of 346
He identified shoreline exemptions:
• Single family residence and associate appurtenance
• Construction of the normal protective bulkhead common to single-family residences
Construction of a dock
o < $2,500 in salt water
o < $10,000 in freshwater
Mr. Lien reviewed the following:
• Residential Development ECDC 24.60.070:
o New residential development must be consistent with Comprehensive Plan, zoning
restrictions, and shoreline area designations
o Public access must be considered with subdivision of four or more lots
o Shared docks with subdivision of two or more lots
Docks ECDC 24.50.030:
o Prohibited substances
o Not more than five feet above water
o Not to exceed 25% of lot width
o Located 10 feet from side property line
o Shared docks can be located on a property line
o No more than 400 square feet
Shore Stabilization (Bulkheads) ECDC 24.50.020
o New development designed so bulkheads are not needed
o Locate landward of ordinary high water mark
o Soft methods preferred over hard methods
Mr. Lien reviewed CAO integration:
• 24.40.020 — Critical Areas
• GMA vs. SMA
• SMA rules within shoreline jurisdiction, CAO applies outside of shoreline jurisdiction
• CAO Integration Options
1. Copy specific sections of CAO into SMP
2. Reference a specific CAO addition noting which CAO provisions will not apply to the SMP
3. Include portions of the CAO as an appendix to the SMP
• City pursued options two and three
• 24.40.020.D — CAO Exceptions
o General provisions
o Wetlands
• 24.40.020.0 — CAO Provisions allowed with Shoreline variance
Mr. Lien displayed and reviewed an image of Lake Ballinger. He provided the following information
regarding wetlands:
• Lake Ballinger ringed by wetlands
• CAO Buffer (ECDC 23.50.040)
o Category III = 50 feet
o Category IV = 35 feet
• SMP wetland buffers (ECDC 24.40.0201)
o Category III = 60 feet base (+ 45 to 105 feet)
o Category IV = 40 feet
• Variance required to reduce buffer more than 25%
Mr. Lien noted in addition to the above buffers, there is a 15-foot building setback.

Councilmember Buckshnis asked how habitat is scoring. Mr. Lien advised it is contained in 24.40.020.F.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO EXTEND THE MEETING FOR 1/2 HOUR. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Lien commented on the bluff setback:
• Standard setback is 50 feet plus 15 feet building setback
• Shoreline variance required to build closer
For Councilmember Bloom, Mr. Lien explained for a Category III wetland, the buffer would be a 60 foot
base, and a habitat score of 20-30 would add another 45 feet for a total of a 105 foot wetland buffer.
Councilmember Bloom asked how the habitat was scored. Mr. Lien answered it is done by a wetland
biologist. The wetland biologist considers the hydrology, soils, and plants as well as the size of the
wetland and the quality of the plant community to develop a habitat score.
Councilmember Bloom asked how an applicant seeks a variance. Mr. Lien answered shoreline variances
are approved by the Department of Ecology (DOE). The City would hold its process including review and
decision by the Hearing Examiner which would be forwarded to the DOE. Shoreline substantial
development permits do not require approval by DOE.
Councilmember Bloom asked if that applied to only new construction. Mr. Lien answered staff's thinking
was redevelopment within the developed footprint would be allowed such as in Harbor Square. If
development is not allowed within the developed footprint and development must comply to adopted
standards, that would apply to properties on Lake Ballinger as well as redevelopment at Harbor Square.
When the SMP was drafted and staff consulted with DOE, the thought was and the way the SMP is
drafted is redevelopment could occur within the developed footprint. Discussions with the City Attorney
indicated the language in the SMP and COA may not be sufficient.
Mr. Lien explained within the CAO, a buffer width reduction can be done without a variance process.
Within the shoreline jurisdiction, the CAO does not rule, the SMP rules. Therefore a reduction of the
buffer below 25% would require a variance process. When the regulations were drafted and the CAO was
updated in 2004/2005, the intent was redevelopment could occur as long as it was in the developed
permit. Best Available Science (BAS) for the CAO addresses development and developed footprint.
When that language was transferred to code from BAS to CAO, it states additions to structures. If the
interpretation is development cannot occur within the developed footprint, demolition and rebuilding
would be required to meet the buffer setback.
Councilmember Bloom asked if this was different or the same as Harbor Square. Mr. Lien replied with
regard to development in the developed footprint, what applies here would apply to Harbor Square and
vice versa. He clarified the intent was redevelopment could occur within the developed footprint. Mr.
Taraday explained this is a policy question; staff is proposing a policy whereby redevelopment would be
allowed in an existing footprint. He was uncertain the proposed language actually effectuates that policy
choice. If that is the Council's policy choice, the language needs to be tightened.
For Councilmember Bloom, Mr. Lien explained the standard in drafting the SMP is no net loss of
ecological functions over the current conditions. Redevelopment within the previously developed
footprint meets the standards of the SMA and the CAO. The intent when the SMP regulations were
drafted was to allow redevelopment in the developed footprint. Some jurisdictions have used a straight
setback and no buffers and DOE has indicated that meets the requirements of the SMA.

Mr. Lien explained there was a change in the Shoreline designations from the existing SMP to the
proposed SMP for Meadowdale Marina. The current shoreline designation of the Meadowdale Marina is
Urban Mixed Use, the Comprehensive Plan designation is Mixed Use Commercial and the zoning is
Commercial Waterfront, the same as the Port area. The proposed shoreline designation is Aquatic I.
He provided the history of the shoreline designation:
• Aquatic Environment — New environment consistent with SMP Guidelines (WAC 173-26)
• Shoreline designation reviewed by TAC
• TAC notes mention designating upland area associated with Haines Wharf as Urban Mixed Use
• There are no upland areas associate with the site
He described the two aquatic designations and identified areas on the waterfront and Lake Ballinger:
• Aquatic I (Low Intensity)
• Aquatic II (High Intensity)
Mr. Lien described Meadowdale Marina Permitting:
• Shoreline substantial development permit issued in 2005 (SM-05-94) to reconstruct pier
• Two years to start, five years to finish project
• Time begins other permits have been obtained
• Other required permits: HPA, Army Corps, Railroad Crossing, Building Permits
• SM-05-94 still a valid permit
• Proposed change to SMP: Applicants have 5 years to obtain other require permits
Mr. Lien summarized he hoped tonight would be the last work session on the SMP and a public hearing
could be scheduled. Hearing no further questions, Mayor Earling suggested Mr. Lien work with Council
President Petso to schedule a public hearing.
13. POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING DRAFT RESOLUTION ADOPTING ROBERT'S RULES OF
ORDER AS THE CITY COUNCIL'S NEW RULES OF PROCEDURE
This item was deferred to the May 7 meeting.
14. REPORT ON OUTSIDE BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Councilmember Peterson reported members of the Lake Ballinger Forum had a successful trip to
Washington DC with the lobbyist. They met with Senator Cantwell and Congressman Larsen regarding
funding from the Water Resource Development Act to address flooding and water quality issues in Lake
Ballinger.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas reported the main topic of the recent South County Cities meeting was
outdoor recreation area plans for Monroe, Sultan and Gold Bar. In Monroe their stormwater runoff flows
into manmade lakes; this summer wakeboarding will begin on the stormwater lakes. The meeting also
included discussion regarding economic development in an industrial area in Monroe. She noted none of
the buildings were over 35 feet; Monroe's City Manager indicated they did not find building heights over
35 feet necessary. Monroe's proposed City Hall will be taller and will combine offices for the city and the
school district. Monroe is also attracting businesses; an electronic assembly business opening this summer
will employ 350 people.
Councilmember Buckshnis reported Snohomish County Tomorrow passed their GMA population targets
for 2035. Woodway submitted a letter of objection because Pt. Wells which is within their MUGA was to
provide a population of 1300.

Councilmember Bloom advised she has been asked to make a more extensive report to the Council
regarding the EDC's work. With regard to the Tree Board, she encouraged citizens to apply for the two
vacancies on the Tree Board. The April 27 Arbor Day celebration will include tree benefit tags hung on
trees in downtown Edmonds. The Tree Board also plans to have a booth at the May 4 Garden Market.
15. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling reported he went to Olympia last Friday along with Mayor Stephenson and Mayor Nearing
in an attempt to get a broader array of Snohomish County transportation projects included in the House
Transportation package. Representative Marko Liias was successful in passing an amendment that

Councilmember Buckshnis reported the Senior Center is holding its annual Health Fair on Friday, April
26 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The Lions Club will provide free vision, hearing, glaucoma and diabetes
screening.
With regard to Item 3H on tonight's agenda, Councilmember Buckshnis reported Mr. Hertrich hung up on
her when she asked him what 25 + 5 equals. She emphasized 25 + 5 = 30 feet; the height limit in the BD
zones in downtown Edmonds has not been raised. The only change was to remove the 15-foot step -back.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas requested Mr. Taraday address Ms. Fimia's questions. Mr. Taraday
explained RCW 43.21.C.420 does not apply; it is an optional process that involves adoption of a subarea
plan as well as adoption of development regulations. Development regulations were not proposed at the
time the Council was considering the Harbor Square subarea plan. That statute is intended to create a
streamlined process for permitting transit oriented development whereby a city adopts a subarea plan as
part of its Comprehensive Plan, adopts development regulations, does an EIS and informs the public to
bring any SEPA appeals. The process in RCW 43.21.C.420 is an optional process that the City was not
utilizing although some in the public believe the Council was required to utilize it.
Councilmember Johnson reported the Garden Market begins on Saturday, May 4.

PERSONNEL POLICY
NON -REPRESENTED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
The City's non -represented compensation policy strives to maintain equity, by offering
competitive salaries and benefits in order to attract and retain high quality staff and an effective
work force.
It is the policy of the City for the classification and compensation plan to provide salaries that
compare favorably with other similar cities in the region for comparable jobs, and within budget
limitations. It is also the policy of the City to strive to maintain salaries that are internally
equitable, in proper relationship to all other jobs within the City, within reasonable budget
parameters.
SALARY RANGE PROGRESSION
Salary ranges for non -represented positions will have a 35% spread from the bottom to the top
of each salary range, and will include a seven -step scale with 5% between each of the steps.
All new employees will generally be hired at the first step of their salary range; however, an
entry level rate of pay above the minimum may be offered to an applicant whose education and
experience exceed the minimum qualifications for the classification, or when external labor
market pay practices impact recruitment. Initial step placement at higher than Step 3 of the
salary range is subject to approval by the Mayor prior to the offer of employment.
Employees are advanced to the next salary step increment after satisfactorily completing the
first six months of probation. After this, employees advance to the next step in the salary range
on the January following their anniversary date and each succeeding January after a concurrent
satisfactory performance evaluation has been completed by their supervisor, until reaching the
maximum step. An employee who fails to achieve at least a satisfactory overall rating on their
annual performance evaluation shall not be eligible for a step increase until their next
performance evaluation rating period.
In the event of promotion of a non -represented employee to another non -represented job
classification in a higher salary range, the employee will be placed on the first step of the new
salary range or the lowest step in the new range that results in an increase to their current
salary. After this, the employee would follow the salary range progression described above for
new employees.
To ensure internal equity, employees promoted from a represented position to a non -
represented position in a higher pay range, will be placed on the first step of the new salary
range, or the lowest step in the new range that results in an increase to their current salary,
including consideration of other cash compensation being received in the former position. After
this, the employee would follow the salary range progression described above for new
employees.
Non -represented Compensation Policy
December 4. 2012
Packet Page 194 of 346
In the event of a lateral placement of a non -represented employee to another non -represented
job classification in the same pay range, the employee will not receive a salary increase.
ANNUAL SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
The Mayor will recommend the adjustment of salary ranges for non -represented employees to
the City Council for approval as part of the budget process, effective January 1 of each year.
The Mayor's recommendation will take into consideration the average adjustment negotiated
and approved for represented employee groups. Each employee will maintain the same step
within the newly approved salary range that they held prior to the adjustment.
In addition, the City will attempt to mitigate compression issues as they arise. The Mayor will
make appropriate and timely recommendations to City Council to maintain internal equity and
prevent compression issues.
MARKET ANALYSIS
The Human Resources Department will conduct compensation surveys for each non -
represented benchmark position no later than September 1, every three years. The following
criteria will be used for determining which cities are comparable for the purposes of analyzing
and comparing compensation ("Qualified Comparable Cities"):
• Comparable cities must be located in Snohomish, King, Pierce, Thurston, or Kitsap
counties; and
• Comparable cities will include all cities with a population that is no more than 10,000
over or no more than 10,000 under the population of the City of Edmonds according
to the most recent population figures published by the Washington State Office of
Financial Management or a similar successor government agency; and
• The application of the above criteria will be utilized to select a minimum of eight
agencies that are closest in population to the City of Edmonds. If this process yields
fewer than eight comparable cities (not counting Edmonds) for analysis during a
particular year, additional cities shall be selected for analysis by adding an additional
city or cities, up to eight, with agencies that are outside the 10,000 over/under
criteria, but that are the next closest in population to the City of Edmonds, with the
goal of having 50% of the cities with a higher population and 50% with a lower
population than Edmonds.
Additionally, private sector data will be gathered and considered where it is a significant factor in
the City's competitiveness.
Benchmark positions are those which are assigned clearly recognizable work at a well-defined
level of responsibility, and for which comparable classifications are easily identified to ensure
that sufficient data can be collected. Classifications that are selected as comparable for survey
purposes must match the benchmark position by 80% in level of work and responsibility.
Salaries for comparable positions that are not a complete match may be leveled up or down by
a maximum of 20%, to adjust for differences in the level or scope of responsibility in work duties.
Non -represented Compensation Policy
December 4. 2012 2
Packet Page 195 of 346
Non -benchmark classifications (those for which there are not adequate comparable
classifications) will be indexed to a corresponding City benchmark position, which is comparable
in required qualifications, scope of work, and level of responsibility.
Salary ranges for benchmarks will be determined by using the prevailing rates in the identified
comparator cities. The City will be competitive within the defined market, but will not assume
the position of a lead pay policy compared to the market; therefore the median or 50t" percentile
of the mid -range of salary data collected will be used to determine competitiveness.
Every three years, based upon the survey data, the Mayor will recommend salary range market
adjustments for non -represented positions to City Council. The Mayor will consider the
following criteria in developing the recommendation:
1. Maintain the mid -point of each salary range between 5% high/low of the mid -point of the
comparator city median.
2 Positions requiring adjustment will be assigned to the new salary range within the salary range
table that places the position closest to the comparator city median.
3. Any employee whose actual salary falls below the newly adopted pay range minimum, shall
be adjusted up to the new minimum upon adoption of the new pay ranges.
4. Any employee whose actual salary exceeds the top of the approved salary range, will have
their salary frozen until such time that market rates support pay range adjustment for their job
classification.
EXTERNAL/INTERNAL EQUITY
To be more competitive in the market place, the City will provide non -represented employees
who are ineligible for compensatory time with 24 hours of Management Leave annually.
Management Leave will have no cash -out value and will not be carried over at the end of the
calendar year.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
It is with substantial pleasure that we present this report describing the recommended FY 2012 Non -
Represented Compensation Plan for the City of Edmonds.
A. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The City's current non -represented salary plan has pay band values significantly wider from
Minimum to Maximum than the typical comparable salary plans found in the approved survey
cities. While the average salary range width in the City's competitive marketplace is 25% from
Minimum to Maximum, the City of Edmonds' current pay band width offers 50% in -band
distance from Minimum to Maximum.
2. On paper, and due to the wider than average band width, the City of Edmonds' current pay
band Minimum values appear artificially low (below Market Median) and the pay band Maximum
values appear artificially high (above Market Median). In reality, the average non -represented
employee actual salary rate is halfway between current pay band Minimum and Maximum, or
15%-20% below the current posted band Maximum (Table 1 a, page 8).
3. The City's historical method of aligning pay band Maximum values to Market Median Maximum
values, and then building a pay band Minimum down 50% from Median Maximum, has resulted
in low entry -rate pay values positions and unattainable top -out pay values.
4. The appropriate pay range values, and where the majority of Edmonds' non -represented
employee salaries already currently fall, are nearer the calculated "Midpoint" values or roughly
10%-15% higher than current Minimums and 15%-20% lower than current Maximums.
The City does not currently provide consistent salary administration for non -represented
positions; in recent years represented union employees have received negotiated wage and/or
step increases that out -pace non -represented employee merit adjustments which have been
fixed, frozen, or moved a nominal amount.
6. A new salary range table has been designed and pay range assignments proposed for each
non -represented job classification. The proposed pay range table has 7 equal steps of 5%
within each pay range, and results in pay range widths, values, and structure design more
closely aligned with or similar to the City's comparator cities, and internal equity specifications
for all employees (pages 6 and 10).
7. The proposed pay ranges result in pay range Minimum and Maximum values within 10% of
market median Minimum and Maximum base pay and total compensation values; compared to
current Edmonds pay band and total compensation values, proposed Maximums and total
compensation values are significantly lower on paper for many positions. There are currently no
employees whose salary falls below the recommended Minimum value proposed for their job.
8. The City is currently offering a competitive and comparable number, type, and level of benefits
in most areas. The City offers a slightly lower than average allowance for Medical, Dental, and
Vision insurance premiums and a comparable pension contribution percentage. Multiple
comparator cities offer 2%-4% deferred compensation, which Edmonds does not offer.
Appendix II contains the detailed breakdown of benefits provided by each comparator agency.

CITY or EDMONDS JULY 2012
B. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Modify the non -represented compensation policy (attachment Appendix III) to allow for market -
based salary range assignment development (for FY 2012 and in future years) using Median
Midpoints, which are the values typically paid in the market for journey -level experience and
sustained job performance, (page 5).
2, Establish the City's non -represented total compensation competitiveness policy at 100%
(median) of the estimated prevailing rates. Adopt the proposed pay ranges to result in "on
paper" pay range values within 10% of market median Minimums and Maximums. (Tables 2
and 3, pages 11-13).
3. Utilize the proposed Salary Range Table (page 10).
To avoid further compression between non -represented and union positions, provide for Cost of
Living, step increase, and longevity pay adjustments for non -represented employees for FY
2012 and in each subsequent year, in an amount consistent with any similar total compensation
or step and longevity adjustments provided to represented I Union employees.
To avoid further compression specifically in the police department, it is recommended to add
longevity and an educational incentive that is commensurate with the Police guild employees.
This will help to alleviate compression issues.
It is recommended that Council consider adding a deferred compensation benefit for non -
represented employees, so as to be more competitive in the marketplace. If this is not
financially feasible, Council could consider the option of adding management leave that is a use
it or lose it benefit. Several cities offer this benefit to their exempt employees as a value and
acknowledgement of the amount of evening and weekend hours they work to complete the
scope of their job.
Freeze the salaries of 5 employees whose current salary exceeds the Maximum of the salary
range recommended for their position.
8, Review the FLSA status and possible Union eligibility of the Executive Assistant to the Mayor,
Executive Assistant -Confidential, Associate Planner, Planner, and Recycling Coordinator.
9. Annually update the salary plan by reallocating job classes to different salary ranges from the
Salary Range Table reflecting the varying prevailing rate movement of each job class in the
marketplace (page 6).. See the enclosed non -represented compensation policy for additional
information.

2. EXTERNAL COMPETITIVENESS COMPARISONS
The following paragraphs and tables compare the City's current salary structure values and total
compensation values to those for similar occupations at other public employers with whom the City
competes to obtain and retain high quality staff.
A. SOURCES OF EXTERNAL. DATA
1. Pay Plans of Individual Employers:
In order to maintain the statistical reliability of the external prevailing rate database, we obtained
the complete salary plans from the following jurisdictions and extracted data on their job classes
matching the City's salary survey benchmarks.
Bothell, City of
Bremerton, City of
Burien, City of
Des Moines, City of
Issaquah, City of
Kirkland, City of
Lacey, City of
Lynnwood, City of
Olympia, City of
Puyallup, City of
Sammamish, City of
University Place, City of
Additionally, for information only and not included in the prevailing rate comparisons, we collected
data from the following employers:
King County
Mountlake Terrace, City of
Shoreline, City of
Snohomish County
2. Private Employers in the Seattle Area;
We extracted data on occupational job classes similar to those employed by the City by private
employers from Economic Research Institute's Salary Assessor for Private Employers.

D. EXTERNAL PREVAILING RATE COMPARISONS
Tables 1a and 1b on pages 8 and 9 summarize the comparison of the City's current base pay salary
structure values (Table 1a) and total compensation values (Table 1b) to the prevailing rates of all the
comparator employers.
Table 1a (page 8) illustrates the difficulty in comparing base pay range values externally at points
other than calculated Midpoints (Minimum plus Maximum divided by 2). When comparing at base pay
range Minimum, the City's pay bands on paper are below market by -10% or more for 7 of the 29 titles
surveyed, or 24% of the sample. When comparing at base pay range Maximum, the City's pay bands
on paper are above market by +10% or more for 18 of the titles, or 62% of the sample. It is important
to note here that Edmonds employees are currently at an average of 102% of range Midpoint, or just
above current pay band calculated Midpoint.
When comparisons are made at Midpoint, to alleviate the dramatic inconsistencies that appear when
comparing overly wide ranges (such as Edmonds) to much narrower pay ranges at other cities, 72%
of Edmonds' current Midpoints are within 10% of market values.
Table lb .(page 9) displays current Edmonds and external market values when base pay range and
total cash compensation are added to the external comparisons. Since the City does not offer
deferred compensation or other cash components beyond base pay, the City only appears above
market due to the artificially inflated (wide) broad band pay structures.

3. RECOMMENDED SALARY RANGE STRUCTURE
The proposed salary range table on the page 10 is the recommended salary structure for the City's non -
represented jobs, designed to be administered on the basis of each employee's objectively measured job
performance.
A. RECOMMENDED SINGLE SALARY TABLE STRUCTURE
The recommended Salary Range Table provides equal in -range salary opportunity of approximately
35% from Minimum to Maximum. The salary ranges are separated by a uniform 5%, permitting job
classes to be precisely linked to the external prevailing rates, the City's salary competitiveness policy,
and internal job relationships, through their Midpoints. We have suggested the inclusion of 7 Step
increments of 5% each to ensure similar salary administration to that provided for Union positions.
This is the best practice for a market -based approach to non -represented compensation planning, and
blends internal equity (compression with Union positions) and external competitiveness in a
sustainable, competitive, and equitable manner.
B. SUBSEQUENT SALARY RANGE ADJUSTMENTS
Job classes should be individually reassigned to different salary ranges every 3 years to reflect the
varying movement in the external prevailing rate (if any) for each job class. While the Salary Range
Table should not be adjusted by significant blanket percentages or flat dollar amounts, the table's
values could be adjusted by COLA values to keep pace with Union increases.

Packet Page 204 of 346 6
4. RECOMMENDED FY 2012 COMPENSATION PLAN
The following narratives and tables describe the recommended FY 2012 salary plan for the City and its
estimated fiscal impact.
A. RECOMMENDED FLEXIBLE COMPENSATION COMPETITIVENESS POLICY
Salary policy is the City's expression of where it will place its salary levels in relation to the prevailing
rates, expressed as a percentage of the external prevailing rates.
Permanent Prevailing, Rate Salary Policy
We recommend that the City adopt a permanent policy to place its salary competitiveness policy
at 100% of the prevailing rates. "At the prevailing rates" is defined as +1- 10% of the survey jobs'
medians matching the City's benchmark job classes. An illustrative prevailing rate resolution
wording is;
"The City's non -represented compensation policy strives to maintain equity in pay for all
employees, offers competitive salaries to attract high level applicants, offers internal equity to
foster long-term retention of valuable employees, and rewards meritorious job performance.
It is the policy of the City for the classification and compensation plan to provide salaries that
compare favorabiy with other similar cities in the region for comparable jobs, and within budget
limitations. It is also the policy of the City to ensure that salaries are internally equitable, in proper
relationship to all other jobs within the City."
This flexible policy will permit the City to consider significant factors relating to internal
occupational group relationships, supply and demand in the marketplace for specific occupations,
and financial constraints.
B. ASSIGNMENT OF JOB CLASSES TO SALARY RANGES
Tables 2 and 3 on pages 11-13 are the recommended FY 2012 salary ranges for each of the non -
represented job classes in occupational group order (Table 2) and salary range order(Table 3).
Benchmark job classes (indicated by an asterisk) were placed as close to the prevailing rates for
comparable job classes as was practical, by matching the salary range Midpoints to the survey
benchmark rates.
We .utilized our professional judgment to prevent illogical relationships that could result from survey
data directly linked into salary ranges, as there is no automatic logical job content relationship among
survey data collected from various employers. Non -benchmark job classes were linked to benchmark
job classes by professional judgment, as detailed on page 4.
C. ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT OF THE RECOMMENDED SALARY PLAN
A total of $61,683 would be needed to place all non -represented employees on a step within the
pay range proposed for their job classification.

PERSONNEL POLICY
NON -REPRESENTED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
The City's non -represented compensation policy strives to maintain equity in pay for all
employees, offers competitive salaries to attract high level applicants, offers internal equity to
foster long-term retention of valuable employees, and rewards meritorious job performance.
It is the policy of the City for the classification and compensation plan to provide salaries that
compare favorably with other similar cities in the region for comparable jobs, and within budget
limitations. It is also the policy of the City to ensure that salaries are internally equitable, in
proper relationship to all other jobs within the City.
SALARY RANGE PROGRESSION
Salary ranges for non -represented positions will have a 35% spread from the bottom to the top
of each salary range, and will include a seven -step scale with 5% between each of the steps.
All new employees will generally be hired at the first step of their salary range; however, an
entry level rate of pay above the minimum may be offered to an applicant whose education and
experience exceed the minimum qualifications for the classification, or when external labor
market pay practices impact recruitment. Initial step placement at higher than Step 3 of the
salary range, is subject to approval by the Mayor prior to the offer of employment.
Employees are generally advanced to the next salary step increment after six months of
satisfactory job performance, and each succeeding year, after a concurrent performance
evaluation has been completed by their supervisor, until reaching the maximum step. An
employee who fails to achieve at least a satisfactory overall rating on their annual performance
evaluation shall not be eligible for a step increase until their next performance evaluation rating
period.
In the event of promotion of a non -represented employee to another non -represented job
classification in a higher pay range, the employee will receive a salary increase of not less than
5% or will be adjusted to the minimum salary level of the new position's salary range, whichever
is greater.
To ensure internal equity, employees promoted from a represented position to a non -
represented position in a higher pay range, will receive a gross salary increase of not less than
5% or the minimum salary level of the new position's salary range, whichever is greater,
including consideration of other cash compensation being received in the former position.
In the event of a lateral placement of a non -represented employee to another non -represented
job classification in the same pay range, the employee will not receive a salary increase.

ANNUAL SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
The Mayor will recommend the adjustment of salary ranges for non -represented employees to
the City Council for approval as part of the budget process, effective January 1 of each year.
Salary ranges for non -represented employees will be adjusted at a rate not less than the
average adjustment negotiated and approved for represented employee groups. Each
employee will maintain the same step within the newly approved salary range that they held
prior to the adjustment.
To maintain internal equity and to prevent compression within the ranks, the City will maintain
the minimum of a 10% increment between the salary ranges at midpoint of supervisor
classifications and those supervised. Additionally, the City will ensure that salary ranges of non -
represented positions are equal to or exceed salary ranges for comparable represented
positions. The City will attempt to mitigate compression issues as they may arise.
MARKET ANALYSIS
The Human Resources Department will conduct compensation surveys for each non -
represented benchmark position no later than September 1, every three years. The following
criteria will be used for determining which cities are comparable for the purposes of analyzing
and comparing compensation ("Qualified Comparable Cities"):
Comparable cities must be located in Snohomish, King, Pierce, Thurston, or Kitsap
counties; and
Comparable cities will include all cities with a population that is no more than 10,000
over or no more than 10,000 under the population of the City of Edmonds according
to the most recent population figures published by the Washington State Office of
Financial Management or a similar successor government agency; and
The application of the above criteria will be utilized to select a minimum of eight
agencies that are closest in population to the City of Edmonds. If this process yields
fewer than eight comparable cities (not counting Edmonds) for analysis during a
particular year, additional cities shall be selected for analysis by adding an additional
city or cities, up to eight, with agencies that are outside the 10,000 over/under
criteria, but that are the next closest in population to the City of Edmonds, with the
goal of having 50% of the cities with a higher population and 50% with a lower
population than Edmonds.
Additionally, private sector data will be gathered and considered where it is a significant factor in
the City's competitiveness.
Benchmark positions are those which are assigned clearly recognizable work at a well-defined
level of responsibility, and for which comparable classifications are easily identified to ensure
that sufficient data can be collected. Classifications that are selected as comparable for survey
purposes must match the benchmark position by 80% in level of work and responsibility.
Salaries for comparable positions that are not a complete match may be leveled up or down by
a maximum of 20%, to adjust for differences in the level or scope of responsibility in work duties.

Non -benchmark classifications (those for which there are not adequate comparable
classifications) will be indexed to a corresponding City benchmark position, which is comparable
in required qualifications, scope of work, and level of responsibility.
Salary ranges for benchmarks will be determined by using the prevailing rates in the identified
comparator cities. The City will be competitive within the defined market, but will not assume
the position of a lead pay policy compared to the market; therefore the median or 501" percentile
of the mid -range of salary data collected will be used to determine competitiveness.
Every three years, based upon the survey data, salary ranges for non -represented positions will
be realigned, to maintain the mid -point of each salary range between 5% high/low of the mid-
point of the comparator city median. Positions requiring adjustment will be assigned to the new
salary range within the salary range table that places the position closest to the comparator city
median. Any employee whose actual salary falls below the newly adopted pay range minimum,
shall be adjusted up to the new minimum upon adoption of the new pay ranges. Any employee
whose actual salary exceeds the top of the approved salary range, will have their salary frozen
until such time that market rates support pay range adjustment for their job classification.
EXTERNAL/INTERNAL EQUITY
To be more competitive in the market place, the City will provide a deferred compensation
contribution of 2% for non -represented employees. If the City is financially unable to offer the
deferred compensation contribution, the City will provide non -represented employees with 40
hours of Administrative Leave annually. Administrative Leave will have no cash -out value and
will not be carried over at the end of the calendar year.
To address internal equity issues among all employees, Non -represented employees will be
eligible for receipt of Longevity Incentive Pay, consistent with that provided by SEIU, Teamsters,
and the Edmonds Police Officers' Association represented employees.
In addition, to avoid inequity between supervisory ranks, and to eliminate disincentive for
promotion within the Department, Commissioned Police management personnel will be eligible
for receipt of an Educational Incentive Pay, consistent with that provided to Edmonds Police
Officers' Association represented employees.
Non -represented at -will employees will be provided with an employment contract that articulates
all compensation and benefits, as well as severance provisions that will be imposed in the event
that their employment is involuntarily terminated.
