4. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to the interim ordinance regarding critical areas that Mayor Earling
vetoed and the Council will reconsider tonight. He recalled his comments to the Council last week
regarding the definition of impervious and how the code included graveled areas and packed dirt. His
interpretation of impervious was something that water or moisture could not pass through. He understood
the planner was changing something to provide a better understanding of impervious and may eliminate
the use of graveled areas as impervious. He questioned whether the City was interpreting impervious
correctly and whether that changed the Council's outlook on the interim ordinance.
Ken Reidy, Edmonds, referred to the Code of Ethics on the August 20, 2013 agenda that included an
excerpt from the City's personnel policies titled Chapter 10, Employee Responsibilities and Code of
Ethics. He read from the General Code of Conduct section, "The City's primary function is to provide
service to the citizens of Edmonds. To achieve that goal, all employees are expected to treat the public as
their most valued customer. All employees are expected to serve the public in a professional manner,
which is courteous, efficient and helpful. Among the City's expectations are tact and courteous toward the
public and fellow employees and adherence to City policies. All persons representing the City of
Edmonds shall conduct business in a professional manner, respecting all citizens' rights and showing
courtesy to all. Their actions shall be conducted within compliance of the laws and regulations governing
the City's actions, including but not limited to RCW Title 42. City representatives are expected to
conduct business in an open manner. They shall not engage in any conduct which would reflect
unfavorably upon City government or any of the services it provides. They must avoid any action which
might result in or create the impression of using their position for private gain, giving preferential
treatment or privileged information to any person, or losing impartiality in conducting the City's
business." Mr. Reidy requested a City representative explain the City's procedures related to enforcement
of this General Code of Conduct including who can request a code of conduct investigation, what steps
must be followed, who conducts the investigation, and whether there is an independent code of conduct
officer or board.
Alex Witenberg, Edmonds, recalled a citizen request that the Council work to create a train horn quiet
zone in Edmonds. Although he understood the man's desire not to have train horns sounding near his
home, Mr. Witenberg recommended the Council and City focus on a more important issue related to
trains, emergency access to the waterfront when trains pass through Edmonds. As a seasonal employee
for the Edmonds Park Department, he has witnessed trains blocking traffic traveling to and from the
waterfront. Trains traveling through Edmonds that separate downtown from the waterfront also block
emergency vehicles from accessing the ferry terminal, Port and beaches. A fellow Parks employee relayed
the he was once stranded on the waterfront side of the railroad tracks for over 11/2 hours after a mud slide
caused trains to be diverted and resulted in a continuous stream of trains blocking both access points to
the waterfront. He recommended the Council focus on developing an alternative access point to the
waterfront, at least for emergency vehicles. He recalled during budget discussions, fire and police are
stressed by Council and citizens as the most important services the City provides; establishing emergency
access to the waterfront should be at or near the top of the Council's priorities and offers an excellent
opportunity to develop consensus among Councilmembers. Citizens will hold the City Council
accountable if residents suffer as a result of emergency personnel's inability to reach the waterfront in a
catastrophe.
5. COMMUNITY SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: EDMONDS SCARECROW FESTIVAL
Bill Lambert, Board President, South Snohomish County Historical Society and Museum,
announced the Society is sponsoring the first ever Scarecrow Festival and Contest. He displayed a
scarecrow created by the Museum Guild members that will be donated to the Edmonds Center for the
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

Arts fundraiser. He recognized Dave Buelow, Board Member and Project Manager, and Ted Heaton who
discovered a similar event in Cambria, California and brought the idea to Edmonds. He invited everyone
in the community to participate including Councilmembers, the Mayor and City employees. A flyer with
instructions was included in the packet and is available at their website, historicedmonds.or .
Applications, available at the Museum website, can be submitted beginning September 15 and citizens
can vote for their favorite at the website beginning October 1. Family -friendly scarecrows will be on
display at businesses, City areas and residences. The winner will be announced at the Museum's annual
fundraiser on November 8. Sponsorship of this event recognizes the Historical Society's 40'' anniversary.
The Museum's mission is to publicize and celebrate the community heritage. This has been done for
nearly 20 years by developing and sponsoring the Edmonds Farmers Market, haunting the museum at
Halloween and quarterly exhibits includes this year's Farming in Snohomish County and 40 x 40, a
display of artifacts in their collection. In addition to the Scarecrow Festival, the Society is trying to
generate interest in a fire museum to house the City's two antique fire engines. The community is invited
to their fundraiser, Heritage Days, on November 8. The first stage of the museum renovation, the
downstairs, has been completed under the direction of Museum Director Tarin Erickson; more exciting
improvements and exhibits are coming.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked whether scarecrows had to be scary. Mr. Lambert responded it was the
person's choice; the only requirement is that scarecrows be family friendly.
6. 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.
Senior Planner Kernen Lien explained the origin of this change was to bring the City's critical area
regulations into consistency 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. 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 the 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 developed footprint concept 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 report concluded the main route to improving critical areas and their buffers
was to require enhancement in exchange for allowing development and redevelopment within the existing
footprint of development.
Another aspect of development within the developed footprint is physically separated and functionally
isolated. He provided the definition of buffer in the City's critical area regulations ECDC 23.40.320:
"...a designated area immediately next to and part of a stream or wetland that is an integral part of the
stream or wetland ecosystem." A property or development may be separated from the critical area by a
"footprint of development" such as a road or structure.
Mr. Lien highlighted the proposed changes to the CAO in the interim ordinance to bring the current CAO
into compliance with BAS:

Councilmember Buckshnis referred to her emails regarding what has occurred; this issue came to the
Parks, Planning & Public Works Committee in July who referred it to the Planning Board and it was
returned to the Council. The Council got caught up in the examples rather than the actual verbiage. She
pointed out an expert must determine when it is physically separated and functionally isolated. She asked
whether a representative of the Department of Ecology (DOE) was present. Mr. Lien answered no;
however, Paul Anderson, Wetland Specialist, Washington State Department of Ecology, provided an
email regarding the interim ordinance.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked whether the Council could change the ordinance to clarify impervious
surface. City Attorney Jeff Taraday advised the interim ordinance will expire in 180 days from adoption
regardless of whether the Council takes any further action. If/when the Council replaces it with a
permanent ordinance, the Council will have the opportunity to make any changes.
Councilmember Johnson suggested it would be helpful for the public to understand the background of the
BAS report and CAO and how they relate to GMA. She understood it was adopted in 2004 and was
supposed to be updated every 7 years which would be 2011. Mr. Lien explained the BAS report itself is
not adopted by the City. In development of critical area regulations, the City is to consider BAS, peer
reviewed articles on buffers, etc. The City's last CAO update in 2004 was effective in 2005; the next
update will be 2015. The CAO is to generally be consistent with BAS. There are instances where it can
deviate from BAS. In the BAS report, many of the studies are done in rural areas where 100-200 foot
buffers actually exist and the goal is to protect the critical area. In Edmonds, it does not make sense to
require a 100-200 foot buffer because the buffers do not exist. The BAS report and discussions with
Ecology and the interim ordinance address allowing development to occur within developed areas in
exchange for enhancement of the critical area or critical area buffer, improving critical areas in the long
run over current conditions.
Councilmember Johnson asked Mr. Lien to summarize activity in the last eight years since the CAO was
adopted and asked if this was the first challenge to the ordinance. Mr. Lien responded there has not been a
challenge to the ordinance; this issue has arisen occasionally in the past including two recent examples.
The issues of physically separated and functionally isolated and development within the developed
footprint were recently discussed with DOE in regard to the Shoreline Management Program update. The
proposed changes would apply across the City; there are a number of examples of physically separated
and functionally isolated and development within the developed footprint. Historically the City focused
on not expanding the impervious surface area; closer inspection of that language including the word
"structure" which changed how the code was applied.
Councilmember Bloom recalled when this was originally presented it was described as the change had to
be made so the CAO was consistent with BAS. She referred to an email from Mr. Taraday, noting she did
not understand what he meant. There was also an email from Mayor Pro Tern Petso with an example
where the CAO does not have to be consistent with BAS. She asked Mr. Taraday to explain whether it
was necessary for this change to be made; if the CAO and BAS had to be consistent. Mr. Taraday
responded her question did not have a simple yes/no answer. He can review the relevant statutory law and
case law but it is complicated. He explained Councilmember Bloom emailed him a question today and he
emailed her a response; his response may not have been a good paraphrasing of the law. In 1999
Washington State Supreme Court had occasion to consider the BAS requirement in the GMA. He read the
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 3, 2013

Packet Page 7 of 488
excerpt he sent Councilmember Bloom today from a case, Honesty in Environmental Analysis and
Legislation (HEAL) v. Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board:
The GMA requires balancing of more than a dozen goals and several specific directives in implementing
those goals. The Legislature passed RCW 36.70A.172(1) five years after the GMA was adopted. It knew
of the other factors, but neither made best available science the sole factor, the factor above all other
factors nor made it purely procedural. Instead, the Legislature left the cities and counties with the
authority and obligation to take scientific evidence and to balance that evidence among the many goals
and factors to fashion locally appropriate regulations based on the evidence not on speculation and
surmise.
The trial court's formulation that best available science be included in a substantive way is not
inconsistent with this court's reading of the Board's interpretation of the statute. The trial court also said
the evidence would "guide" decision -making. If by this the trial court meant the science must be
considered and balanced, then the trial court and the Board are in agreement. If "guide, " means the
proposed regulations or policies of the City must result in a particular outcome based on that evidence
standing alone, the court went too far. The trial court, by reversing the Board, believed the Board had
not applied the scientific evidence in a substantive way. We cannot agree with the trial court's reversal of
the result.
Whether scientific evidence is respectable and authoritative, challenged or unchallenged, controlling or
of no consequence when balanced against other factors, goals and evidence to be considered, is first in
the province of the city or county to decide. Then, if challenged, it is for the Growth Management
Hearings Board to review. The Legislature has given great deference to the substantive outcome of that
balancing process. We hold that evidence of the best available science must be included in the record and
must be considered substantively in the development of critical areas policies and regulations.
Mr. Taraday summarized what he heard the court saying was the Council did not have to take a
conclusion reached in the BAS report and apply it verbatim in the City code; that is not necessarily
required. However, the City, Planning Staff, Council, etc., need to include BAS in the record and must
have substantively considered it. It is not enough just to have a folder/file with the BAS report and draft
regulations; what the BAS report says must be taken into consideration. If the City is departing from its
BAS report, it must justify that departure by identifying another competing goal in the GMA in
explaining because of that goal and because of local circumstances, the City Council decided to do it
differently than stated in the BAS report.
Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding of Mr. Taraday's explanation that the BAS report is
used as a guide but nothing needed to be changed at this point because it is only a guide. Mr. Taraday
responded "guide" can be interpreted in different ways. He explained BAS must be included in the record
and must be considered substantively in the development of critical area policies and regulations. His
interpretation of "considered substantively" meant if the City was not relying on the BAS report to make
the code say essentially the same thing, at the very least there needed to be a substantive explanation for
why the code did not match the report.
Councilmember Bloom explained she reviewed the BAS report; she did not find any direction regarding
allowing increased impervious surface in areas that are physically separated and functionally isolated. She
asked Mr. Lien to explain where in the BAS report it says this change should be made. Mr. Lien
responded there is no specific reference in the BAS report to physically separated and functionally
isolated. It is an expansion of the developed footprint concept and allowing redevelopment within those
areas. The definition of buffer is the area immediately next to and an integral part of the critical area. The
definition of buffer incorporates this concept. Physically separated and functionally isolated, which is
determined by a qualified professional, that part of the buffer is separated from the critical area by a
developed footprint. That is the connection to the BAS report and development within the previously
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 3, 2013

Packet Page 8 of 488
developed footprint. In some areas of the City, properties are separated by a road such as the park
example and buffers often extend across multiple parcels. It is separated by a footprint of development,
therefore not providing any function to the critical area.
Mr. Lien referred to a letter from Steve Quarterman, Senior Ecologist, Landau Associates, regarding
application of BAS, specifically in recognizing fragmentation provided by public roads, legally
established structures and similar circumstances isolate habitats, and the inherent understanding that these
features do not constitute vegetated areas adjacent to aquatic resources. Mr. Quarterman's letter also
states this language appears consistent with the current definition of buffers in the City's CAO. Mr. Lien
explained the BAS recognized Edmonds was a developed city and allowing development and
redevelopment in the developed footprint or separated from the critical area in order to enhance critical
areas. The proposal in the interim ordinance is consistent with BAS.
Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding of Mr. Lien's explanation was there is no reference in
the BAS to physically separated and functionally isolated. Mr. Lien agreed there was no specific
reference. Mr. Taraday agreed the phrase, physically separated and functionally isolated, does not appear
in the BAS report, but the concept is represented by the following paragraph on page 31 of the BAS
report: 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.
Mr. Lien referenced another mention of expansion on page 57 of the BAS report: New development or
expansion of existing development into fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas would require a
native vegetation enhancement plan. The gist of the BAS report was allowing limited development or
redevelopment in exchange for enhancement of a critical area because large buffers do not exist
throughout the City.
In response to the inquiry made during Audience Comments, Councilmember Bloom asked Mr. Lien to
read the definition of impervious surfaces in the interim ordinance. Mr. Lien advised the definition of
impervious surface was taken from the State and the Phase II stormwater requirements, "impervious
surface means a hard surface area that either prevents or retards entry of water into the soil mantle as it
occurs under natural conditions prior to development, resulting in stormwater runoff from the surface in
greater quantities or an increased rate of flow compared to stormwater runoff characteristics under natural
conditions prior to development. Common impervious surfaces include but are not limited to rooftops,
walkways, patios, driveways, parking lots or storage areas, outdoor swimming pools, concrete or asphalt
paving, gravel roads, packed earthen materials, or oiled macadam or other surfaces that similarly impede
the natural infiltration of stormwater." Councilmember Bloom observed it includes compacted dirt as well
as gravel. Mr. Lien agreed.
Mayor Pro Tem Petso observed this is a required hearing but not an action item. Mr. Lien agreed. Mayor
Pro Tem Petso referred to the BAS report that states preliminary from August 2004 and asked whether
that was the BAS report or was there a final version. Mr. Lien answered that is the BAS report. Mayor
Pro Tem Petso commented best available science is not the BAS report; it is actually the scientific reports
that were relied on to create the BAS report. Mr. Lien answered the BAS report summarizes best
available science.
Mayor Pro Tem Petso asked how this was allowed without a SEPA review. Mr. Lien answered SEPA was
done. The EIS addendum from 2004 when the City did the CAO update was adopted; the interim
ordinance has been sent to Commerce and reviewed by State departments which generated the comment
from DOE's Wetland Specialist. Mayor Pro Tem Petso asked whether there was a public component to
the SEPA process. Mr. Lien answered it was noticed.

Councilmember Buckshnis asked Ms. Hite to describe the spray pad project and how it enhances the
impervious surfaces and recycles water, the amount of time the City has spent on the project, portions of
the project that are in critical areas and how it is physically separated and functionally isolated from the
wetland marsh by a parking lot. She recalled Mr. Taraday's comments that this is a fine balancing act that
needs to take into consideration all issues. She emphasized the code did not correctly translate the BAS
report. Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite commented this project seems to have been caught up in
the discussion about the CAO. The City Park play area and spray pad plan was adopted in a master plan
in 1992 prior to adoption of the CAO in 2004. She displayed a wetland reconnaissance prepared by
Landau Associates overlaid with the current 30% design prepared by the landscape architect. The design
has been put on hold due to this issue so it is now a couple months behind. She identified the edge of the
Class 2 wetland, Wetland A, on the east side of SR 104, a freshwater wetland with some habitat but not as
ecologically demanding as a Class 1 wetland. According to the CAO a 100-foot buffer should be
considered. She identified the 100-foot buffer on the wetland reconnaissance, noting the wetland was not
surveyed so is not an exact measurement. A survey can be done if necessary.
Ms. Hite explained the wetland buffer contains condominiums and a great deal of impervious surface
including the roadway, the exit drive from City Park, a parking lot and a driveway. She summarized
nearly the entire buffer is impervious. She identified the City Park play area and spray pad, including the
current footprint of the play area; the expansion includes the spray pad which was adopted in the 1992
master plan. Financing for the project includes funds in the 2013 CIP to replace the deteriorating
playground which was used as a match for a $500,000 RCO grant the City received. The Hazel Miller
Foundation funded $270,000 of the project and Snohomish County provided $80,000. The project is
completely funded because the play area replacement was done at the same time as the installation of the
new spray pad. A portion of the current footprint lies within the buffer; the footprint was expanded to add
required ADA walkways. If the ADA walkways were removed, the footprint would be reduced; the State
RCO demands higher accessibility in all projects.
Ms. Hite explained moving the project south outside the buffer area would require removal of several
trees. The project already impacts two trees; efforts will be made to save them. Some diseased trees will
be removed. She identified a grasscrete area designed for truck access to service the underground tank.
She explained three types of water systems that can be used in a spray park:
1. Recirculating system — an expensive system that Snohomish County would not permit because it
is more than 100 feet from the current restroom
2. Percolating system that drains into the ground — not an option because of the proximity to the
marsh.
3. Pump directly into the sewer system
Ms. Hite explained the system being designed for City Park is a water reuse system that reuses water from
the spray area. The water from the impervious area drains into a tank. The tank is treated by UV and
routed out to 14 irrigation zones in City Park, to the restroom to flush toilets, and pumped out for use in
the flower program downtown. She acknowledged not all the water can be reused and some will be
pumped to the sewer. The proposed system will have less impact on the wetland than the current
footprint.
Councilmember Buckshnis concluded the spray park water system will enhance the critical area. Ms. Hite
responded the water system captures all the water, treats and reuses it and pumps it off site.
Mayor Pro Tem Petso opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. Letters had been
received from Paul Anderson, Washington State Department of Ecology, and from Steven Quarterman,
Landau Associates.

Neil Fallon, Tacoma, American Brewing Company, commented sales are so good they need to expand.
He explained prior to opening American Brewing three years ago, he met with the landowners and the
City and was assured he could expand and relied on that information when he signed the lease. Now when
he needs to expand, he was informed the interpretation of the code had been reconsidered and his use now
falls under this complicated set of ideas. He would like to locate two pieces of equipment on asphalt that
is currently located within a buffer. His lease is expiring and he needs to renegotiate it; if he is not
allowed to locate the equipment, it will affect his ability to operate his business. In addition, they are
applying to become a publicly traded company. They are in the process of expanding nationally and need
this additional equipment. He expressed his support for Ordinance No. 3935 and recommended the
Council not overturn the Mayor's veto of Ordinance No. 3940.
Val Stewart, Edmonds, commented the interim ordinance is a temporary measure that will be considered
by the Planning Board and a recommendation forwarded to the Council. The interim ordinance will allow
two well -intended projects to move forward. She referred to Ms. Hite's explanation regarding the benefits
of the spray park, quoting her statements that this is one of the greenest options for operating a spray park
and has been introduced throughout California. This project is one of the first in the State and the first in
Snohomish County to incorporate this green design. With regard to sustainability, Ms. Stewart pointed
out without this interim ordinance the park project will be delayed and the financial impacts could
undermine some of the green benefits. With regard to the American Brewing Company project, from an
economic and environmental sustainability standpoint, having a silo to store ingredients reduces the
amount of gas and transportation costs and makes the business financially sustainable. Both projects are
well -intended and have wonderful benefits. She doubted a project that would encounter this glitch in the
code would be proposed in the five months until the interim ordinance expires.
Ken Reidy, Edmonds, recalled Paul Anderson and the State Department of Ecology exerted very strong
jurisdiction over a large wetland in his neighborhood in 2006. He offered to send the Council Mr.
Anderson's October 6, 2006 letter, addressed to Scott Snyder and others, that states the State had
jurisdiction over the wetland in his neighborhood. He summarized the State was blocked from the
process, the wetland was filled without their knowledge; Mr. Anderson came to his neighborhood and
was blocked from the property. Mr. Anderson later told him that he highly doubted the State's water
quality certifications were met. In subsequent conversations, Mr. Anderson said resources were an issue
with the State's involvement in protecting critical areas in cities.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to the definition in the packet of best practices, no degradation of
associated critical areas, and asked if paving degraded the ability to absorb. He did not understand Mr.
Fallon's problem when the area where he wanted to locate equipment was already covered with asphalt.
He questioned the definition of impervious, pointing out gravel has spaces for water to flow through. He
referred to the definition, no degradation of associated critical area, noting cutting trees or paving over
porous ground was degrading the associated critical area. He concluded the proposed changes were not
appropriate and he preferred to allow the Planning Board to conduct their review. He acknowledged the
City Park project was caught up in this situation but the Council should not change the code to address
one project.
Bruce Witenberg, Edmonds, expressed support for the interim critical areas ordinance and opposed
overriding the Mayor's veto of the Council repeal of the interim critical area ordinance. While it may not
be perfect, the interim ordinance was a vast improvement over the current ordinance. It creates
compatibility between the City's CAO and the BAS, an important element lacking in the current CAO.
The interim ordinance allows the City Park project and the American Brewing Company silo projects to
continue, noting the adverse economic impacts on American Brewing of the Council not adopting the
interim ordinance. The City Park project is on a tight timeline due to government grant deadlines. Failure
to meet the deadlines would disappoint the children anxiously awaiting the completion of the project and
may have unintended consequences of jeopardizing future park grant funds. There is the risk that the
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

Packet Page 11 of 488
grant timeline will not be extended and the project not completed at all. In addition the Council may be
jeopardizing its credibility with the Hazel Miller Foundation who has provided substantial funding for
this project. There is also the risk the Foundation may rescind its funding if the project is delayed. He
questioned where funds would come from if public and private funding lapse. He respected the fact that
some Councilmembers want to hear the opinion of the Planning Board, however, that would cause at least
a six week delay. Councilmembers who support delaying implementation of the interim critical area
ordinance are in effect saying they do not have confidence in the Planning Board's recommendation of
the interim ordinance, no confidence in the City Attorney who drafted the interim ordinance and no
confidence in the Department of Ecology with whom staff has discussed the interim ordinance and are
supportive of this approach. Those Councilmembers are substituting their judgment and personal beliefs
for the expertise of professionals. He urged the Council to vote in favor of the interim ordinance.
Hearing no further comment, Mayor Pro Tern Petso closed the public participation portion of the public
hearing.
In response to Mr. Reidy's comment about Ecology's role in regulating wetlands, Mr. Lien explained
Paul Anderson's email suggested the interim ordinance language be changed to state other permits may
be required for enhancements within a wetland or stream. His suggestion will be presented to the
Planning Board.
Ms. Hite confirmed Mr. Witenberg's comments that the project is under a State deadline that requires the
project be completed by July 2014. The project is on track for mid -July 2014; construction was originally
expected to be completed by May and the park open for the summer. An extension can be requested and
the State often grants an extension but that is not guaranteed. In addition there has been some
communication from the Hazel Miller Foundation, not necessarily to rescind their funds, but to look
carefully at the changes in the project. The same is true for the funds provided via an Interlocal
Agreement with Snohomish County. She summarized there is a great deal of time, funding, budget and
scope riding on the ability to develop City Park as proposed.
Councilmember Peterson observed Agenda Item 9 is related to this discussion. He suggested moving Item
9 prior to Items 7 and 8. Mayor Pro Tern Petso agreed they were related; however Item 8 is a public
hearing and Item 7 was scheduled prior to the public hearing because it is related to the public hearing
topic.
Mr. Taraday clarified no action is required. This public hearing is required by State law; adoption of an
interim ordinance also requires the legislative body adopt Findings of Fact justifying its action. He will
prepare a resolution for approval at the next Council meeting affectively adopting the whereas clauses in
Ordinance 3935 as the City Council's Findings of Fact that justify adoption of the interim ordinance. He
invited Councilmembers to offer additional Finding of Fact.
Mayor Pro Tern Petso advised Councilmembers will be absent from the September 17 and 24 meetings.
She asked if the Council should hold a regular Council meeting on September 10 to consider the
resolution. Mr. Taraday answered he would leave that up to Mayor Pro Tern Petso; adoption of the
resolution can pass on a 3-2 vote.
Council President Pro Tern Fraley-Monillas suggested a short Council meeting on September 10 prior to
committee meetings, observing there were 3 Councilmembers absent on September 17 and 2 absent on
September 24. Mayor Pro Tem Petso agreed the resolution would be scheduled for a regular Council
meeting on September 10 prior to committee meetings.

7. DISCUSSION REGARDING I-502 AND CITY OPTIONS REGARDING MARIJUANA.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday referred to the memo in the Council packet prepared by Susan Drummond,
Lighthouse Law Group, regarding the four options the City has for addressing marijuana facilities. Mr.
Taraday explained the Council recently adopted a moratorium on which a public hearing will be held
next. During the six months the moratorium is in effect, the City can consider what it wants its policy to
be with regard to medical marijuana, collective gardens and recreational marijuana facilities that were
approved via I-502. He reviewed the four options outlined in the memo:
1. Take no action
2. No immediate action; further assess likely impacts and legal concerns. Kent has litigation pending
with regard to a ban on marijuana facilities. Mr. Taraday expected Kent's ban will be upheld by
State courts but a published opinion has not yet been issued.
3. Adopt a permanent ban on marijuana facilities
4. Adopt zoning regulations that allow marijuana facilities in certain zones subject to conditions
Mr. Taraday explained this is a timely discussion because there will be a great deal of activity with regard
to I-502 in the next 6 months. Tomorrow the Liquor Control Board plans to inform cities and counties the
number of retail marijuana facilities they will license for each area. The Liquor Control Board's allocation
does not mean a city cannot ban retail marijuana facilities. The Liquor Control Board will allocate retail
marijuana facilities based on population. Even if Edmonds is allocated a certain number of facilities, the
City does not have to allow them. The City's code is essentially silent, other than the moratorium, with
regard to collective gardens and retail marijuana stores. He noted no one could apply for a retail license
until they have a State license.
Mr. Taraday referred to the timeline in the packet, noting a date he learned about today is the Liquor
Control Board estimates they will begin issuing licenses in March/April 2014. The City's moratorium will
expire in February 2014; hopefully, the Council has provided clear direction before then regarding
zoning, a ban, etc. If the decision is to ban, a ban should be in place by February 2014. If the decision is to
zone facilities, the zoning should be in place by February 2014. Because the code is currently silent, he
recommended the Council provide a clear policy directive. He did not recommend the Council take no
action on a permanent basis.
With regard to federal law, as the memo mentions, on August 29 the Justice Department decided they will
allow I-502 to go into effect. He highlighted statements in a 4-page memo (not in the packet), Guidance
Regarding Marijuana Enforcement intended for all United States attorneys: The Justice Department is
committed to using its limited investigative and prosecutorial resources to address the most significant
threats. The Justice Department identified eight particular threats that it will continue to focus on:
• Preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors;
• Preventing revenue from the sale of marijuana from going to criminal enterprises, gangs, and
cartels;
• Preventing the diversion of marijuana from states where it is legal under state law in some from
to other states;
• Preventing state -authorized marijuana activity from being used as a cover or pretext for the
trafficking of other illegal drugs or other illegal activity;
• Preventing violence and the use of firearms in the cultivation and distribution of marijuana;
• Preventing drugged driving and the exacerbation of other adverse public health consequences
associated with marijuana use;
• Preventing the growing of marijuana on public lands and the attendant public safety and
environmental dangers posed by marijuana production on public lands; and
• Preventing marijuana possession or use on federal property.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 3, 2013
Page 10
Packet Page 13 of 488
Mr. Taraday continued his summary of the memo: Outside of these enforcement priorities, the federal
government has traditionally relied on states and local law enforcement agencies to address marijuana
activity through enforcement of their own narcotics laws. The Department's guidance in this
memorandum rests on its expectation that states and local governments that have enacted laws authorizing
marijuana related conduct will implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems that
will address the threat those state laws could pose. If state enforcement efforts are not sufficiently robust
to protect against the harms set forth above, the federal government may seek to challenge the regulatory
structure itself.
Mr. Taraday summarized all marijuana is illegal under federal law; the federal government is not
changing the classification of marijuana under federal law. The memo states that federal law enforcement
has their enforcement priorities and as long as the states are operating a tight ship with respect to their
regulations and making sure State laws that make marijuana legal and the regulatory scheme do not
interfere with the federal government's eight enforcement priorities, it appears the federal government
will let the states continue without waiving their right to step in later if they perceive things are getting
out of hand or the State's enforcement is too loose.
Council President Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas recalled after the federal government's statements, the
governor's office made a statement agreeing with the federal government. Mr. Taraday said it appears
certain there will be State licensed retail marijuana facilities in Washington; the question is whether the
Council wants them in Edmonds and if so, where. Council President Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas preferred
to observe the challenges over the next few months. Mr. Taraday responded if a majority of the Council is
thinking a ban may be the right way, there is no harm in leaving the moratorium in place and letting 2-4
months pass to see what happens with the Kent case, to confirm that the court will uphold cities' ability to
ban retail marijuana facilities. However, if the Council is leaning toward permitting and zoning, he
recommended Council not simply wait because it will take time for the Planning Board to work through
appropriate zoning. Zoning would ideally take place before licenses are issued in March/April 2014.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she was swaying between 2 (no immediate action) and 4 (adopt zoning
regulations) and having the Parks, Planning & Public Works Committee discuss zoning regulations. She
inquired about taxes the City would receive. Mr. Taraday answered unlike collective gardens which are
not taxed, State licensed facilities will be taxed and if they are allowed in Edmonds, the City will receive
the local share of sales tax. Councilmember Buckshnis asked if the City would determine that tax. Mr.
Taraday answered it is sales tax; there is no special marijuana tax collected by the city. Councilmember
Buckshnis recalled liquor tax is collected by the State and distributed to the cities. Mr. Taraday
summarized the City does not have specific taxing authority unique to only marijuana facilities. If there is
a State licensed retail marijuana facility in Edmonds, it would be like any other retail operation in
Edmonds whereby the City would receive a portion of the sales tax. Councilmember Buckshnis suggested
this also be reviewed by the Public Safety and Finance Committees.
Mayor Pro Tem Petso observed a city may be permitted to prevent a facility from locating with 1,000 feet
of a school. She asked if a city could require a greater distance or add other public facilities such as
libraries or parks. Mr. Taraday explained I-502 will address that; the 1,000 foot buffer is listed in I-502
and covers parks, schools, libraries and other areas where minors may be present. The State will address
much of that via its own licensing efforts. If the City has the ability to ban, it would have the authority to
further restrict them.
Councilmember Peterson summarized the issues moving forward include, 1) retail locations, 2) collective
gardens, and 3) businesses that use marijuana as a food additive. Mr. Taraday advised under I-502, there
are three different licenses, 1) producer, 2) processor, and 3) retailer. In addition there is the non-1-502
collective garden related to medical marijuana; there is currently nothing in the code to address this.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 3, 2013
Page 11
Packet Page 14 of 488
Collective gardens are not licensed or taxed by the State. Unless there is City zoning to regulate collective
gardens, the City cannot rely on the Liquor Control Board to regulate them.
Councilmember Peterson asked if the City was more vulnerable to a collective gardening license without
regulations in the code. Mr. Taraday requested the Council provide clear policy direction with regard to
collective gardens. Before the moratorium was adopted there were inquiries about collective gardens. He
did not envision that interest would go away with the establishment of State licensed marijuana outlets
because collective gardens do not pay tax. Acting Development Services Director Rob Chave commented
silence is not generally prohibition. If someone applies, staff attempts to determine where it fits in the
code. Many of the land use classifications are very broad; for example a collective garden could be
considered gardening. He did not recommend the Council do nothing. He agreed with referring it to
multiple committees because land use will have a relatively minor role and there are other issues such as
licensing, enforcement, etc. He suggested not referring to the Planning Board until the Council has had
more discussion regarding what path they want to follow.
Councilmember Peterson asked if restaurants would be allowed to use cannabis as an ingredient. Mr.
Taraday answered he did not think so because no public consumption of marijuana was allowed even
under I-502. Councilmember Peterson recalled I-502 did not allow public smoking but was unsure if there
was no public consumption. Mr. Taraday recalled there no distinction between smoking and consumption;
he offered to research.
Councilmember Peterson asked whether there was a 1,000 foot restriction from schools, churches, etc. for
breweries, distilleries, liquor stores and other licensed operations or were they only allowed in
commercial areas. Mr. Chave answered there are similar distance separation requirements for adult
entertainment; by the time they are applied throughout the City there are a very limited number of sites
available. The City's GIS person is attempting to map potential sites under the limitations of I-502. He
anticipated the potential locations would be fairly limited. Councilmember Peterson suggested that
information be given to the committees for review. He asked if the State was utilizing GIS in allocating
the number of facilities per jurisdiction. Mr. Taraday answered he believed the State was allocating
facilities based on population not GIS. Councilmember Peterson observed the State could allocate
Edmonds 15 facilities and there could only be 3 available sites. Mr. Taraday agreed that was possible.
Councilmember Yamamoto asked whether Council action was necessary to extend the moratorium. Mr.
Taraday answered the moratorium will remain in effect for 6 months from the date of adoption, February
2014. The Council has time to give this careful consideration. Depending on how the Council wants to
proceed, it would be helpful to know sooner rather than later so staff can plan accordingly.
Mayor Pro Tern Petso advised this was on tonight's agenda as a discussion item prior to the public
hearing to inform the public. However, it appeared Mr. Taraday was asking for Council direction.
Councilmember Peterson favored following the rules and regulations in 1-502 with regard to zoning and
siting. He also suggested obtaining information from other cities who have allowed collective gardens
such as Mukilteo. Washington is on the leading edge of an important change in attitudes toward
marijuana, both medical and recreational and it is important to have as much information as possible.
Council President Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas agreed with Councilmember Peterson.
Mayor Pro Tern Petso suggested scheduling this for October committee meetings. She asked Mr. Taraday
whether he had sufficient direction from Council. Mr. Taraday answered there was time for discussion by
Council committees. The Liquor Control Board plans to adopt the rules on October 16. The rules will be
in fairly final form by the October committee meetings. A public hearing on the draft rules is scheduled
on October 9.

Councilmember Johnson agreed that would be a prudent course. She also suggested committees be
provided the GIS information that identifies potential locations.
Councilmember Peterson suggested further discussion could occur at the Council's October 22 work
session.
8. PUBLIC HEARING ON ORDINANCE NO. 3938 - RELATING TO COLLECTIVE GARDENS
AND THE RECREATIONAL USES 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 RULE MAKING 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.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday advised this is a statutorily required public hearing; anytime the Council
adopts a moratorium a public hearing is required within 60 days of adoption.
Mayor Pro Tern Petso opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. There were no
members of the audience present who wished to provide testimony. Mayor Pro Tem Petso closed the
public participation portion of the public hearing.
Mr. Taraday advised he would prepare a resolution using the whereas statements from the ordinance as
the Findings of Fact for Council consideration at the September 10 meeting.
Councilmember Peterson recalled he voted against the moratorium. Although he likely still would have
voted against it, he would have felt more comfortable if the previous item had been scheduled on the
agenda along with the moratorium.
9. RECONSIDERATION OF THE MAYOR'S VETO OF ORDINANCE NO. 3940 - REPEALING
INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 3935, 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.
Mayor Pro Tern Petso explained this reconsideration is required by State law.
Councilmember Bloom asked if this was was being done because the Mayor has the option to either veto
an ordinance or sign and pass it. City Attorney Jeff Taraday answered yes; or a Mayor could do nothing in
which case it becomes law. Councilmember Bloom referred to the last sentence of the RCW that states if
the Mayor fails for 10 days to either approve or veto an ordinance, it shall become valid without his or her
approval. Ordinances shall be signed by the mayor and attested by the clerk. She asked what happened if
the Mayor did not veto or sign an ordinance. Mr. Taraday explained if the Mayor does not veto or sign an
ordinance it becomes valid without his/her approval. Councilmember Bloom asked whether it became
effective within 10 days. Mr. Taraday answered the effective date depends on what is stated in the
ordinance. Councilmember Bloom observed the effective date could be as stated in the ordinance;
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 3, 2013
Page 13
Packet Page 16 of 488
otherwise it would be effective 10 days after approval by Council. Mr. Taraday explained there is a
difference between a valid law and the effective date of the law. This statute addresses what it takes to
become a valid law; in order to become a valid law, an ordinance must either be signed by the Mayor or
the Mayor does nothing for a period of 10 days.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked whether this required a super majority. Mr. Taraday answered if a
Councilmember moved to override the veto, the motion would only pass with five votes of the Council. If
the motion failed, Ordinance No. 3935 remains in effect.
Councilmember Yamamoto observed the ordinance would remain in effect if the Council voted to uphold
the Mayor's veto. Mr. Taraday advised no motion is necessary to uphold the Mayor's veto. The veto has
already taken place and Ordinance No. 3940 is void unless the Council overrides the veto.
Recognizing this has been a confusing issue, Councilmember Johnson explained on July 9 the Parks,
Planning & Public Works Committee had presentations on the City Park project and American Brewery
project that identified problems with the CAO. The committee was asked to forward it to the Planning
Board and that is what the committee recommended. Before the Planning Board began their discussion,
staff requested an interim ordinance. She voted no on the interim ordinance because it had not been
presented at the committee and had the appearance of changing the rules to accommodate a City project.
It also appeared it was a shortcut to resolve either a project management or project design problem.
Councilmember Johnson explained since that time she has attended two Planning Board discussions and
read more on the subject. It appears the City is moving in the right direction. She did not like how this
was handled or that the City Council was placed in this position. She assured no Councilmember wanted
to disappoint the children or was opposed to the City Park spray pad project. It was staff's responsibility
to uphold the Comprehensive Plan and the orderly review of items before the City Council. She did not
want the Council to put the City Park project in jeopardy via further delays and for that reason and
although she had opposed the interim ordinance, she would not vote to overturn the Mayor's veto.
Mayor Pro Tern Petso advised she would support a motion to overturn the Mayor's veto. She did not
believe this was about two particular projects but had impacts citywide. She was certain there were errors
in the ordinance, one of them in an emailed public comment and another that pointed out the current
ordinance considers gravel and hardpan dirt as part of the previously developed footprint. She was
concerned that the ordinance allows paving of critical area buffers. In the case of the City Park project,
very little paving of the critical area buffer would occur. In other projects a great deal of paving in the
critical area buffer may occur and it is possible that paving will drain to a related stream or wetland
causing the type of problems the City witnessed last Thursday.
Mayor Pro Tem Petso said the City is not bound by the conclusions of a 9-year old preliminary BAS
report. BAS refers to scientific studies and the BAS recommendation regarding paving in critical areas
does not follow BAS but is in contradiction to BAS. She referred to the November 16, 2004 minutes
where the City Council was told BAS requires using large buffers around critical areas. That night the
Council made an exception to BAS and reduced buffer sizes for a variety of reasons. The Council is not
bound; it is doing it by choice. The Council is also not bound by a previous Council and can make its own
decision. The best available science she has been given is that Edmonds is so developed that too much
sediment is being dumped into the marsh, creeks and streams and Puget Sound too quickly which
damages the environment. The idea of making this worse to benefit two projects was unfortunate and she
anticipated if it were a private applicant rather than the City, the Council would support redesigning the
project. She was disappointed but pleased that the amount of information about what constitutes BAS as
well as the minutes from prior discussions will allow the Planning Board to develop an ordinance to
replace the interim ordinance even if the Council does not vote to override the veto tonight.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 3, 2013

Packet Page 17 of 488
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out flooding occurs because of 100 year old pipes that cannot
accommodate stormwater and the marsh pipe that is plugged with cattails because funding has not been
obtained for restoration. She objected to global statements about the reasons for flooding problems
without citing other issues. She agreed with Councilmember Johnson and supported retaining the interim
ordinance while the Planning Board reviewed the matter. She recalled when the pier at the dog park was
removed, it could not be paved because it would be impervious, which indicates the City is following its
rules.
Council President Pro Tern Fraley-Monillas pointed out there were not enough votes to overturn the
Mayor's veto. She was concerned the administration has used veto power three times in less than two
years which she felt put democracy in jeopardy. Anytime the Council takes a vote in opposition to the
Mayor, the Mayor has the ability to veto. In this form of government the Mayor is allowed to overturn the
Council's action; the Council is the body elected by the citizenry. She was concerned the Mayor may be
overusing his veto power.
Councilmember Peterson said while he respected Mayor Pro Tern Petso's opinion and understood why
she disagreed with some of the findings, the idea that the City was allowing carte blanche paving of
critical areas was incorrect. In fact, environmental experts make the determination to ensure no harm is
done. The Council has taken the CAO very seriously and he doubted any Councilmember had done more
work than Councilmember Buckshnis. He did not agree with Mayor Pro Tern Petso's conclusions; the
Council was not giving a green light to paving of critical areas. This is a way to move forward in a built
environment and create better projects than may currently exist in a critical area. Mr. Lien explained even
though development may be allowed in a physically separated and functionally isolated buffer, the critical
area and buffer enhancement provides greater protection than what currently exists. The goal is to
improve critical areas in the long run via mitigation and enhancement. As currently written, adverse
impact to a critical area would not be allowed.
Councilmember Bloom agreed with Mayor Pro Tern Petso. She understood the Council did not have the
votes to override the veto. She found it too simplistic to say the City's hydrology problems are related to
the infrastructure. After reading the BAS report today, one part stood out to her particularly due to last
week's flash flood: Wetland buffers maintain wetland hydrology by preventing large, sudden fluctuations
associated with flash surface run-off in developed areas with impervious surfacing. In terms of
maintaining wetland hydrology, there is a direct correlation between the amount of undisturbed, pervious
vegetated lands adjacent to a wetland and the degree to which severe hydrological fluctuation is
minimized. While larger buffer widths better limit hydroperiod extremes, it is generally thought that
buffer widths of 100 feet or more function to effectively maintain wetland hydrology. She noted the
change would allow increased impervious surfaces; the enhancements are not clearly defined and it is
unknown how many projects may slip in during the interim ordinance. It is not good policy to change the
CAO for the sake of one project, a City project. She suggested all Councilmembers read the BAS report;
the passage referenced by Mr. Lien was only a small part, everything else talks about the importance of
wetlands and wetland buffers. As a result of personal experience in her neighborhood, she did not believe
the City has done a good job of protecting its wetlands and she did not think the situation in her
neighborhood was not isolated.
Council President Pro Tern Fraley-Monillas suggested the Council agree to disagree and move forward.
There are not enough votes to overturn the veto and the discussion only serves to create animosity among
Councilmembers.
Mayor Pro Tern Petso asked whether the statute required the Council to take a vote or had the Council
satisfied the statutory requirements by scheduling and discussing reconsideration. Mr. Taraday said he did
not read RCW 35A.12.130 to require a motion to override.

10. ACTION ITEM: ADOPTION OF LONGEVITY PAY FOR NON -REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES
Interim Reporting Human Resources Director Carrie Hite recalled the Council discussed this item last
week and chose not to take action because it was a fourth Tuesday work session. She advised the numbers
provided last week were from April; there have been a couple of retirements since then. The Finance
Department recalculation of longevity pay for nonrepresented employees including those retirements
reduced the cost from $35,000 to $28,311. She provided answers to questions that were raised last week:
• Fiscal impact if longevity pay started July 1, 2013: half of $28,311 or $14,000
• Flat rate rather than a percentage ($500 for every 5 years of service): $29,000 for 2013
• Applying the rate to the average salary: $26,842
• Average salary of management who would receive longevity pay: $92,000
• Number of employees at their top step that would receive longevity pay: 9
• Fiscal impact for outlying years: Unable to determine as it depends on retirements
Ms. Hite advised when the packet materials were provided, the edited version of the Nonrepresented
Compensation Policy was not included; the edited version was in last week's packet. She read the
additional language: In addition, non -represented employees will receive longevity pay, based on total
length of service with the City, in addition to their monthly rate of pay, and in accordance with the
following rates:
5 years 0.5% of employee's monthly rate of pay
10years 1.0% of employee's monthly rate of pay
14 years 1.5% of employee's monthly rate of pay
18 years 2.0% of employee's monthly rate of pay
If the Council preferred a flat rate or a rate based on the average, staff can return with the language. She
requested the Council provide direction to assist with the budget process.
Councilmember Bloom recalled reference in the materials that nonrepresented employees' earning
potential was reduced by 35%. Ms. Hite explained when nonrepresented employees were hired, the City
had a 50% salary range. For example, she was hired under the old compensation policy and was told the
range was $101,000 and $155,000. In doing salary comparisons of comparable cities of all
nonrepresented jobs, the compensation consultant found the low end of the salary range was very low and
the high end was really high, a 50% span. Most comparable cities' ranges spanned 35%. The
compensation consultant shrunk those ranges, raising the low and reducing the high. At the high end,
employees hired under the old policy lost 35% of their earning potential.
Councilmember Bloom recalled last year all nonrepresented employees were brought up to a step and 5
steps were created for each job and each step is a 5% increase. To the question regarding why the steps
were created and why employees are progressing through the steps, Ms. Hite answered there has been a
very subjective compensation system for nonrepresented employees. It is subjective based on merit; merit
as determined by an employee's supervisor, not based on moving through steps. All other comparable
cities had a way to move through ranges; a few had flat rates at the director level. In the past most
nonrepresented employees were stuck in one place or subjectively given a 1-5% merit increase. Because
of the added risk of the City compensation system if someone were discriminated against, the
compensation consultant recommended an objective pay schedule whereby employees could move
through ranges within 5-7 years of employment with 5% increments. The Council requested the
compensation consultant conduct a total compensation survey that included deferred compensation,
longevity, medical benefits, life insurance, long and short term disability, car allowances, educational
incentives, etc.
Councilmember Bloom asked how much it cost to place all nonrepresented employees on a step last year.
Ms. Hite recalled the budget contained $85,000 to get employees to a step and the remainder was divided
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 3, 2013
Page 16
Packet Page 19 of 488
to provide employees a lump payment. Councilmember Bloom recalled the high end of the range for a
number of positions was $15,000 - $20,000 more than comparable cities' highest pay level. Ms. Hite
answered only 2-3 positions were above the range that was adopted and their salaries were frozen.
Councilmember Johnson observed of the 24 employees, 9 were at the top of their range. Theoretically 15
employees could have three sources of increased income: achieve a step, longevity pay, and COLA. She
asked the maximum amount an employee could receive in 2014 from those three sources. Ms. Hite
answered most of the 9 employees at their top step have been employed for 19+ years. Longevity of lh% -
1% could be added to a 5% step increase and a 1.4% COLA.
Councilmember Bloom observed a significant number of employees were above the maximum of the
comparables. Ms. Hite answered the comparables were used to adopt new salary ranges; salary ranges are
an average of all comparable cities. There were 2-3 employees above the top of the range in the new
ranges; those employees were frozen. Most fell within the new ranges and a few were below the low. A
portion of the $85,000 was used to bring them up to a step. Councilmember Bloom summarized
Edmonds' maximum for many of the comparables before adjustment were made were $15,000 - $20,000
above comparable cities. Ms. Hite agreed, recalling the compensation consultant determined the ranges
were really high and really low; he lowered them to the average.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented of the 24 employees who would receive longevity, their average
salary is $93,000. Of those 24, 9 are at the top of their range. Ms. Hite noted all 3 of her managers have
been with the City 20+ years and are at the top of their range; they represent 30% of the 9 employees.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained when the consultant decreased the range it showed 22 of the 32
nonrepresented employees are above 50% of their range and 4-5 are over their range. She asked if some
employees would receive a step as well as a COLA regardless of the decision regarding longevity pay.
Ms. Hite stated employees will progress through their steps at the 5% increase until they top out and then
they will no longer receive a step. In addition, the Mayor will consider the bargaining units' COLAs and
the budget and make a decision whether to provide a COLA for nonrepresented employees. The Council
will be informed in the budget of the nonrepresented COLA and can take action as they wish. She
summarized steps are in the policy and COLAs are subject to the Mayor including them in the budget.
For Councilmember Buckshnis, Ms. Hite advised the Council also approved 24 hours of management
leave for nonrepresented employees that do not accrue comp time. Councilmember Buckshnis observed
directors automatically receive 4 weeks; managers accrue based on their service.
If this does not pass tonight, Mayor Pro Tern Petso asked whether it could be brought up again. Ms. Hite
advised the Council could request it at any time.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if consideration had been given to days off instead of longevity pay.
Ms. Hite was uncertain that would be a good incentive because employees who have been employed a
long time have a great deal of leave balance. Longevity pay was recommended due to the shrinking of the
ranges and was intended to compensate valuable employees with tenure whose intellectual and historical
capacity help lead the City. She referred to a Seattle Times article about employers' efforts to recruit and
retain employees due to lower unemployment rates. Now that the recession is over, she anticipated there
will be some turnover.
Council President Pro Tern Fraley-Monillas asked whether the longevity pay increased retirement
benefits. Ms. Hite offered to research it. As she was in the same retirement plan, Council President Pro
Tern Fraley-Monillas said it did because it increased the average final compensation.
Councilmember Peterson asked what $28,000/year would add to retirement; he anticipated it would not
be a significant amount. Ms. Hite used one of her managers who had been employed by the City for 40

years and earned $90,000; adding 2% to this salary for longevity would add $1800 to his salary. The
City's percentage of the retirement is 6.2%. She noted that was the PERS rate a few years ago and it may
be different now.
Councilmember Peterson commented the Council has discussed this for a long time. He supported
moving forward with longevity pay, noting the Council originally separated this from the rest of the
nonrepresented compensation plan due to budget constraints. There will be a tighter job market in the
futures with opportunities for valued employees to take jobs in the private sector. Longevity pay is not a
huge increase but shows the Council's consideration of employees willing to stay during difficult times
and put in extra hours without a lot of extra pay.
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON, MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
YAMAMOTO, TO ADOPT THE EXTERNALANTERNAL EQUITY PORTION OF THE
COMPENSATION PACKAGE LONGEVITY PAY, FOR FIVE YEARS lh% OF AN
EMPLOYEES' MONTHLY SALARY, FOR 10 YEARS 1% AND 1.5% FOR 14 YEARS, AND 2%
FOR 18 YEARS.
Councilmember Peterson said he was not opposed to a flat rate or an average rate. The percentage rate
gives a needed bonus to employees who have worked for the City a long time and have excelled.
Longevity pay will provide incentive for nonrepresented employees to not only work another year but a
little harder to work their way through the system.
Councilmember Buckshnis was apprehensive because the Council has not seen new numbers from
Finance Director Roger Neumaier based on his new ideas about reserves.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION TO PROVIDE th% AT
FIVE YEARS, 1% FOR 10 YEARS, 1.5% FOR 15 YEARS, AND 2% FOR 20 YEARS. MOTION
DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
For Council President Pro Tern Fraley-Monillas, Ms. Hite advised SEIU is on the same schedule. SEIU
are the office staff who work alongside nonrepresented employees. The Teamsters' schedule is slightly
different and the Police Department's schedule is entirely different.
Councilmember Yamamoto explained he is the Chief Operating Officer for a small company in Edmonds.
The article Ms. Hite referenced is very pertinent to them; they try to retain and pay their employees
accordingly. He noted $28,000 is a very negligible amount to retain the best people.
Councilmember Bloom said she will not support the motion for a number of reasons. Last year
nonrepresented were provided management leave and 5% step increases. A compensation study had not
been done for several years and many adjustments were made to make it more fair and equitable. Of the
comparable cities that responded, 50% do not provide longevity pay. The City does not seem to have
difficulty retaining employees; several employees have been with the City for a long time. She did not
feel longevity pay would make employees stay longer; employees stay for their own reasons. The most
important reason she opposed the motion was last year the City paid people to leave; she found it
confusing that people were paid to leave last year and now longevity pay would be offered to encourage
people to stay. She noted longevity pay was not just for this year, it would be ongoing. She was
uncomfortable with including longevity pay in nonrepresented compensation when the Council will likely
need to ask citizens for a levy in the future.
Council President Pro Tern Fraley-Monillas said she would also vote against the motion. She objected to
this ethically, believing it was anti -labor. In her conversations with represented employees in the City,
they see it the same way. Providing nonrepresented employees a compensation package similar to
represented employees sets a poor example for employees represented by labor unions. Those employees

question why they should pay union dues when they could receive similar benefits without paying union
dues.
Councilmember Johnson said she has given this a lot of thought and would be in favor of longevity pay
for employees who are at the top of their salary range who no longer receive step increases. However she
felt this was the wrong time to consider longevity pay as these are still uncertain times and the City
Council must be prudent with tax dollars and be fiscally responsible. She did not see providing longevity
pay to nonrepresented employees to be in the citizens' interest at this time.
Mayor Pro Tern Petso said a lot of good issues were raised. This matter can be brought up again in the
future.
THE VOTE ON THE MOTION FAILED (2-5), COUNCILMEMBERS YAMAMOTO AND
PETERSON VOTING YES.
11. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Pro Tern Petso had no report.
12. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Johnson thanked Ted Heaton for bringing the Scarecrow Festival to Edmonds after
seeing it in California. She volunteered to be on the Council's scarecrow committee.
Councilmember Peterson provided a reminder of the Chamber of Commerce Classic Car Show on
Sunday, September 8 that will feature approximately 300 cars. There will be new family events including
an opportunity for children to race Hot Wheels. He thanked the Chamber of Commerce for sponsoring the
event.
Councilmember Buckshnis wished Sally and Jim Wassell a happy 50'h anniversary.
Councilmember Yamamoto advised he will be having open heart surgery next week and will be absent
from Council meetings for a few weeks.

ORDINANCE NO.3931
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, ADOPTING AN INTERIM ZONING
ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CRITICAL AREAS
ORDINANCE, SPECIFICALLY SECTIONS ECDC 23.40,210
AND 23.40.320, TO REPEAL THE DEFINITION OF
REASONABLE ECONOMIC USE AND REFERENCES
THERETO.
WHEREAS, the definition for "reasonable economic use" in the Environmentally Critical
Areas General Provisions Section of the Edmonds Community Development Code contains
language that is atypical when compared to the critical areas ordinances of many other
jurisdictions in the vicinity of Edmonds; and
WHEREAS, many jurisdictions do not define "reasonable economic use" at all,
preferring to rely upon guidance provided by state and federal law; and
WHEREAS, urgent action should be taken to correct the unnecessary confusion and
difficulty caused by the definition of "reasonable economic use" in the processing of reasonable
use variances; and
WHEREAS, the City of Edmonds may adopt an interim zoning ordinance for a period of
up to six months pursuant to RCW 36.70A.390, provided that the City Council holds a public
hearing on the interim ordinance within sixty days of adoption;
NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Section 23.40.210 of the Edmonds Community Development Code, entitled
"Variances," is hereby amended to read as follows (new text is shown in underline; deleted text
is shown in stfike thfoug ):
23.40.210 Variances.
1
Packet Page 68 of 488
A. Variances from the standards of this title may be authorized through the process of hearing
examiner review in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 20.85 ECDC only if an
applicant demonstrates that one or more of the following two conditions exist:
1. The application of this title would prohibit a development proposal by a public agency
or public utility. A public agency and utility exception may be granted as a variance if:
a. There is no other practical alternative to the proposed development with less
impact on the critical areas;
b. The application of this title would unreasonably restrict the ability to provide
utility services to the public;
c. The proposal does not pose an unreasonable threat to the public health, safety,
or welfare on or off the development proposal site;
d. The proposal attempts to protect and mitigate impacts to the critical area
functions and values consistent with the best available science; and
e. The proposal is consistent with other applicable regulations and standards.
2. The application of this title would deny all reasonable economic use (see the definition
of "reasonable eeenemie " in of the subject property. A reasonable use
exception may be authorized as a variance only if an applicant demonstrates that:
a. The application of this title would deny all reasonable economic use of a
property or subject parcel;
b. No other reasonable economic use of the property consistent with the
underlying zoning and the city comprehensive plan has less impact on the critical area;
c. The proposed impact to the critical area is the minimum necessary to allow for
reasonable economic use of the property;
d. The inability of the applicant to derive reasonable economic use of the property
is not the result of actions by the applicant after the effective date of the ordinance
codified in this title or its predecessor;
e. The proposal does not pose an unreasonable threat to the public health, safety,
or welfare on or off the development proposal site;
2
Packet Page 69 of 488
f. The proposal minimizes net loss of critical area functions and values consistent
with the best available science; and
g. The proposal is consistent with other applicable regulations and standards.
B. Specific Variance Criteria. A variance may be granted if the applicant demonstrates that the
requested action conforms to all of the following specific criteria:
1. Special conditions and circumstances exist that are peculiar to the land, the lot, or
something inherent in the land, and that are not applicable to other lands in the same district;
2. The special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant;
3. A literal interpretation of the provisions of this title would deprive the applicant of all
reasonable economic uses and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity and zone of
the subject property under the terms of this title, and the variance requested is the minimum
necessary to provide the applicant with such rights;
4. Granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege
that is denied by this title to other lands, structures, or buildings under similar circumstances;
5. The granting of the variance is consistent with the general purpose and intent of this
title, and will not further degrade the functions or values of the associated critical areas or
otherwise be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or
improvements in the vicinity of the subject property; and
6. The decision to grant the variance is based upon the best available science and gives
special consideration to conservation or protection measures necessary to preserve or enhance
anadromous fish habitat.
C. Hearing Examiner Review. The city hearing examiner shall, as a Type III -A decision (see
Chapter 20.01 ECDC), review variance applications and conduct a public hearing. The hearing
examiner shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny variance applications based on a
proposal's ability to comply with general and specific variance criteria provided in subsections
(A) and (B) of this section.
3
Packet Page 70 of 488
D. Conditions May Be Required. The director retains the right to prescribe such conditions and
safeguards as are necessary to secure adequate protection of critical areas from adverse impacts,
and to ensure conformity with this title for variances granted through hearing examiner review.
E. Time Limit. The director shall prescribe a time limit within which the action for which the
variance is required shall be begun, completed, or both. Failure to begin or complete such action
within the established time limit shall void the variance, unless the applicant files an application
for an extension of time before the expiration. An application for an extension of time shall be
reviewed by the director as a Type II decision (see Chapter 20.01ECDC).
F. Burden of Proof. The burden of proof shall be on the applicant to bring forth evidence in
support of a variance application and upon which any decision has to be made on the application.

8. ADOPTING AN INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CRITICAL AREAS
ORDINANCE, SPECIFICALLY SECTIONS ECDC 23.40.210 AND 23.40.320, TO REPEAL THE
DEFINITION OF REASONABLE ECONOMIC USE AND REFERENCES THERETO.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday explained he was asked to prepare this ordinance. There are two versions of
the ordinance, one in the packet and a version that was emailed to Councilmembers late this afternoon.
The difference between the two is the version that was emailed is an emergency ordinance and takes
effect immediately; the version in the packet is not an emergency ordinance although both are interim
zoning ordinances. If the Council adopts the emergency version of the ordinance, it goes into effect
tonight and prevents an application from being submitted tomorrow and thereafter that can utilize the
current reasonable use exception, in particular the definition that has been determined to be outside the
norm. If the Council wanted to allow for a small window of opportunity to allow property owners and
applicants to submit applications under the current reasonable use exception, the Council would adopt the
version of the ordinance in the packet.
Council President Petso stated once discussion is finished, she is ready to move to adopt the emergency
ordinance.
At Councilmember Buckshnis' request, Mr. Taraday described how the emergency ordinance differs from
the ordinance in the packet:
• The title adds the language, "and declaring an emergency necessitating immediate adoption of
this interim zoning ordinance."
• In the third whereas clause, the word "urgent" is changed to "immediate."
• A fourth whereas clause was added that reads, "WHEREAS, the city council has determined that
the "reasonable economic use" regulations should be addressed and considered while the interim
critical areas regulations below are in place, to prevent any property owners from submitting
applications for development or re -development under the existing codes, which may not provide
adequate protection to critical areas; and"
• Section 4, Emergency Declaration was added.
• Section 6, Effective Date, has been revised to state the ordinance takes effect immediately and to
state approval requires a vote of a majority plus one.
Councilmember Peterson expressed support for the interim zoning ordinance but was very uncomfortable
with the emergency zoning ordinance, primarily because there was no mention of an emergency
ordinance on the agenda. In fact, the Council did not receive the ordinance until late this afternoon. In the
past the Council has been interested in properly notifying the public before taking certain votes. He
recognized there were some emergency ordinances where notification would not be possible but did not
think this ordinance was one of those.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked what the emergency was. Mr. Taraday assured he was not placing
a judgment on the Council's decision to adopt the ordinance in one form or the other. The reason he did
not include the emergency ordinance in the packet was that would have defeated the purpose. The
purpose of an emergency ordinance is to ensure applications do not vest prior to adoption of the new
regulations. If the public is informed the Council is planning to adopt an emergency ordinance, it does not
work. While he was not prejudging or placing a value judgment on the Council whether they should or
should not adopt the emergency ordinance, it was done that way purposefully to give the Council the
option of adopting the regulation without public notice. This is an exception to the general rule of having
public notice; interim zoning ordinances and moratoriums are the two exceptions to the GMA where the
Council can take immediate action. The reason that immediate action would be taken was to prevent
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
July 2, 2013
Page 12
Packet Page 82 of 488
applications from vesting. He reiterated the emergency ordinance was presented in this manner by design,
to preserve the ability of the Council to choose.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked the reason for the urgency. Mr. Taraday answered if the Council
wanted to make it impossible for property owners to submit applications after tonight that utilize the
critical areas variance language that the Council found problematic, that was a reason to adopt the
emergency ordinance. If the Council wants to make it difficult but "leave the window open a crack" the
Council would not adopt the emergency ordinance. If the Council wanted to give property owners six
months to use the current regulations, the Council did not need to adopt an interim zoning ordinance and
could just refer it to the Planning Board for consideration.
Councilmember Bloom expressed support for the emergency ordinance because she felt strongly the
confusion generated by the phrase in the code has been damaging and problematic for many people. This
needs to be addressed immediately and a public hearing held afterward. She did not want there to be any
more situations where a property owner believed they could apply for something they should not be
offered.
Councilmember Peterson commented Mr. Taraday's explanation furthered his resolve. He commented it
sounds shifty, doing it at the last minute so nobody knows. He was supportive of the interim zoning
ordinance but not with adopting it in a sketchy way that was not transparent.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked how the Council could hold a public hearing. Mr. Taraday
answered regardless of whether the ordinance was adopted as an emergency or not, interim zoning
ordinances require a public hearing be held within 60 days of adoption. In the meantime, he expected the
Council or staff would ask the Planning Board to consider a permanent ordinance. The interim zoning
ordinance only lasts six months.
Councilmember Johnson asked if there have been any circumstances that precipitated the emergency
ordinance. Mr. Taraday responded he was asked to prepare an emergency version of the ordinance by
certain Councilmembers. He provided both an emergency and non -emergency version to give the Council
the option to choose between them. Completely independent and not precipitating his drafting of the
ordinance, the City has received an application for a critical areas variance since the Council voted on the
Hillman variance. As far as he knew, that was completely coincidental.
Councilmember Johnson asked if that application would be vested. Mr. Taraday answered assuming the
application is a complete application it likely would have vested to the current regulations. He noted that
was the reason for an emergency ordinance, to prevent vesting.
Councilmember Johnson asked if a determination had been made that the application was complete. Mr.
Taraday answered a determination has not been made.
Council President Petso assured this is not an attempt to be sneaky but the language in the current
ordinance is a problem. Mr. Taraday responded it is certainly an outlier and creates additional potential
loss and degradation of critical areas in that it appears to grant the ability for property owners to seek
something to which they are not constitutionally entitled. It arguably goes further than the constitution
requires and to avoid that, he recommended the City's code conform to a more normal critical areas
ordinance that leaves determinations about reasonable economic use to be made on a case by case basis
without presuming that a single family lot is entitled to have a single family home on it regardless of the
critical areas that may be present.
Council President Petso concluded adoption of the ordinance better protects critical areas. Mr. Taraday
answered that was his opinion. Council President Petso commented adoption of the emergency ordinance
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
July 2, 2013
Page 13
Packet Page 83 of 488
starts that protection tonight instead of when? Mr. Taraday answered instead of five days after
publication.
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to Mr. Taraday's statements that the "for example" language in the
reasonable economic definition in 23.40.320 changed the reasonable use definition. She referred to an
email she received from Mr. Schroeder in which he suggests removing the "for example" language and
retain the remainder of the definition. She noted the ordinance proposes completely removing that
language. She asked what would happen to the current definition. Mr. Taraday answered this is what the
Planning Board could consider, whether on a permanent basis there should be a definition. Many
jurisdictions do not have a definition of reasonable economic use because reasonable economic use is a
concept defined by state and federal constitutional law. In his opinion, those definitions were problematic.
In many of the jurisdictions that have a definition of reasonable economic use, it simply states something
like reasonable economic use is a use that is entitled by the Constitution of the United States. He
concluded a reasonable economic use variance is necessarily a case by case legal analysis that is not
subject to definition.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
ADOPT THE ORDINANCE AS AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE.
Councilmember Peterson stated he is 100% in favor of the change proposed in the ordinance. However,
he is not in favor of behavior unbecoming of this Council. The Council must balance critical areas with
open government. If the emergency ordinance had been included in the packet that is available on Friday,
he doubted there would have been a flood of applications to get vested. By adopting the emergency
ordinance the Council was sacrificing the importance of open governance and the importance of
transparency. He noted at least a couple Councilmembers knew an emergency ordinance would be
proposed but he and the public received the emergency ordinance at the last hour. It pained him to vote
against the ordinance because he felt the interim zoning ordinance was appropriate. If the Council adopted
the emergency ordinance, he felt the Council could forget about transparency.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked for clarification whether a public hearing was required if the
Council adopted the emergency ordinance tonight. Mr. Taraday answered either way, whether the Council
adopted the emergency version or the version in the packet, the GMA requires a public hearing be held
within 60 days of adoption of an interim zoning ordinance.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked the difference between adopting the ordinance as an emergency
ordinance and adopting it as an interim ordinance. Mr. Taraday explained the difference in the effective
date is a 10 day period. City Clerk Sandy Chase explained she publishes ordinances on the Sunday
following the Tuesday meeting and the ordinance is effective the following Friday (5 days after
publication); a total of ten days. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas did not support pursuing the ordinance
as an emergency rather than an interim and will vote against the motion.
Councilmember Bloom indicated she would support the motion. She disagreed with Councilmember
Peterson's argument about transparency. Although she would have liked to have had both ordinances
presented at once, this discussion is about the transparency. There were no plans to have a public hearing
in advance anyway. The difference is ten days, during that period of time, applications could vest which
would create confusion and a very difficult situation such as occurred in the prior hearing. The clause in
the code does not exist in other cities and the safeguard of 10 days is worth it.
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to an email from Mr. Taraday dated June 27, 2013 in which he
discusses the ordinance and offers to prepare an emergency version of the ordinance. She recognized the
need for an emergency ordinance and would support the motion.

Councilmember Yamamoto did not support the motion. He cited the importance of transparency and not
doing things in a hurry. He feared this would set precedence for doing things spur of the moment.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION FAILED (4-3) FOR LACK OF A MAJORITY PLUS ONE;
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETSO AND COUNCILMEMBERS BUCKSHNIS, BLOOM AND
JOHNSON VOTING YES; AND COUNCILMEMBERS YAMAMOTO, FRALEY-MONILLAS
AND PETERSON VOTING NO.
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON,
TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 3931, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,

CRITICAL AREAS ORDINANCE, SPECIFICALLY SECTIONS ECDC 23.40.210 AND 23.40.320,
TO REPEAL THE DEFINITION OF REASONABLE ECONOMIC USE AND REFERENCES
THERETO.
Councilmember Peterson suggested the Planning Board review this in an expedited manner. Mr. Taraday
answered the ordinance would be in effect for 180 days. During that period of time he recommended the
Planning Board return to the Council with a recommendation regarding a permanent ordinance.
THE VOTE ON THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
9. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling reported approximately 240-250 people attended the Arts Summit. The event was very
successful and included a speaker about the interconnection and importance of arts and business.
Following several breakout sessions, the group provided direction that will be included in the Cultural
Plan. He thanked staff for organizing and putting on the event.
Mayor Earling encouraged the public to attend the Walk Back in Time at the Edmonds Cemetery at 1:00
p.m. on July 18.
Mayor Earling wished everyone a happy 4`h of July.
10. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Bloom reported she attended the Arts Summit and found it very enjoyable and
productive. She thanked Mayor Earling for organizing the event, staff for their assistance and the donors
for providing food and refreshments.
Councilmember Yamamoto provided a reminder of the 4th of July 5K Fun Run/Walk. It starts at 10:00
a.m. at City Park and goes through Woodway and along the parade route.
Councilmember Buckshnis reported she also attended the Arts Summit. She commended Mayor Earling
and staff for their efforts. She wished everyone a happy 41h of July and encouraged everyone to keep their
pets indoors on the 4th of July.
Council President Petso referred to the alleged conspiracy regarding the ordinance. She did not have any
contact with anyone on the Council or staff regarding the ordinance that was not an email that included
everyone. She recalled Mr. Taraday asked the Council to get back to him because he recommended the
change. A number of Councilmembers responded to her and she communicated that information to Mr.
Taraday. Mr. Taraday then sent an email stating it could be done via an emergency ordinance and
apparently that was not done until late afternoon today. That was when she first learned the emergency
ordinance would be on the agenda. She supported the emergency ordinance as she felt it was a good idea

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 Approved Minutes
August 27, 2013
Page 7
Packet Page 86 of 488
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,

DEVELOPMENT WITHIN LEGALLY ESTABLISHED
IMPERVIOUS AREAS AND WITHIN BUFFER AREAS THAT
ARE PHYSICALLY SEPARATED AND FUNCTIONALLY
ISOLATED FROM AN ASSOCIATED CRITICAL AREA.
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
allowing development and redevelopment to occur within the footprint of already -developed areas; and
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
and
WHEREAS, this has had unfortunate consequences which are counter to the intent of the BAS;
WHEREAS, two recent development proposals have raised awareness of the unintended
limitations of the current code; and
WHEREAS, the City of Edmonds may adopt an interim zoning ordinance for a period of

justified by a qualified professional. Where pruning or crown thinning is not
sufficient to address the hazard, trees should be removed or converted to wildlife
snags;
iii. All vegetation cut (tree stems, branches, etc.) shall be left within the critical area
or buffer unless removal is warranted due to the potential for disease or pest
transmittal to other healthy vegetation or unless removal is warranted to improve
slope stability;

intentionally created from nonwetland areas created to mitigate conversion of
wetlands if permitted by the city (WAC 365-190-030(22)). Wetlands are further
classified into Categories 1, 2, 3 and 4. [See ECDC 23.50.010(B).]
"Wetland functions" means those natural processes performed by wetlands, such as
facilitating food chain production; providing habitat for nesting, rearing and resting
sites for aquatic, terrestrial or avian species; maintaining the availability and quality
of water; acting as recharge and/or discharge areas for ground water aquifers; and
moderating surface water and storm water flows. Ord. 35227 § 20
23.50.020 Allowed activities - Wetlands.
The activities listed below are allowed in wetlands in addition to those activities
listed in, and consistent with, the provisions established in ECDC 23.40.220, and do
not require submission of a critical areas report, except where such activities result
in a loss to the functions and values of a wetland or wetland buffer. These activities
include:
A. Conservation or preservation of soil, water, vegetation, fish, shellfish, and other
wildlife that does not entail changing the structure or functions of the existing
wetland.
B. The harvesting of wild crops in a manner that is not injurious to natural
reproduction of such crops and provided the harvesting does not require tilling of
soil, planting of crops, chemical applications, or alteration of the wetland by
changing existing topography, water conditions, or water sources.
C. Drilling for utilities under a wetland; provided, that the drilling does not interrupt
the ground water connection to the wetland or percolation of surface water down
through the soil column. Specific studies by a hydrologist are necessary to
determine whether the ground water connection to the wetland or percolation of
surface water down through the soil column could be disturbed.

D. Enhancement of a wetland through the removal of nonnative invasive species.
Weeding shall be restricted to hand removal and weed material shall be removed
from the site. Bare areas that remain after weed removal shall be revegetated with
native shrubs and trees at natural densities. Some hand seeding may also be done
over the bare areas with native herbs.
E. Per-mitted alteration to n legally eenstr-ueted structure exi tiRg Development
proposals in the footprint of development within a wetland and or wetland buffer
may be allowed as long as the proposed alteration:
a. that -does not increase the footprint of development beyond the legally established
footprint:
b. does increase the impact to a wetland and or
wetland buffer1
c. does not increase the total impervious surface area of the site:
d. does not increase the risk to life or pi=opei:ty as a result of the proposed i❑
replacement or redevelopment: and
e. includes measures to enhance the wetland and or we land buffer in a way that

23.50.040 Development standards - Wetlands.
A. Activities may only be permitted in a wetland buffer if the applicant can show that
the proposed activity will not degrade the functions and functional performance of
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,
the following standards shall apply:
1. Water -dependent activities may be allowed where there are no practicable
alternatives that would have a less adverse impact on the wetland, its buffers and
other critical areas.
2. Where non -water -dependent activities are proposed, it shall be presumed that
alternative locations are available, and activities and uses shall be prohibited, unless
the applicant demonstrates that:
a. The basic project purpose cannot be accomplished as proposed and successfully
avoid, or result in less adverse impact on, a wetland on another site or sites in the
general region; and
b. All alternative designs of the project as proposed, such as a reduction in the size,
scope, configuration, or density of the project, would not avoid or result in less of an
adverse impact on a wetland or its buffer.

Packet Page 105 of 488
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 106 of 488
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:
a. Conservation and Restoration Activities. Conservation or restoration activities
aimed at protecting the soil, water, vegetation, or wildlife.
b. Passive Recreation. Passive recreation facilities designed and in accordance with
an approved critical area report, including:
i. Walkways and trails; provided, that those pathways are generally constructed
with a surface that does not interfere with substrate permeability. Raised
boardwalks utilizing nontreated pilings may be acceptable;
Attachment A to Ord. 3935
Packet Page 107 of 488
Attachment A to Ord. 3935
ii. Wildlife viewing structures; and
iii. Fishing access areas down to the water's edge that shall be no larger than six feet.
c. 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 the outer 25 percent of a standard or modified
buffer for Category 3 or 4 wetlands only; provided, that:
i. No other location is feasible; and
ii. The location and function of such facilities will not degrade the functions or
values of the wetland.
Storm water management facilities are not allowed in buffers of Category 1 or 2
wetlands.
G. Signs and Fencing of Wetlands.
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:
Protected Wetland Area
Do Not Disturb
Contact the City of Edmonds
Regarding Uses and Restrictions
b. The provisions of subsection (G) (2) (a) of this section maybe modified as
necessary to assure protection of sensitive features or wildlife.
H. Additions to Structures Existing Within Wetlands and/or Wetland Buffers.
Additions to legally constructed structures existing within wetlands or wetland
buffers that increase the footprint of development or impervious surfacing shall be
permitted consistent with the development standards of this section. Provisions for
standard wetland buffers, buffer reductions through enhancement, and wetland
buffer averaging require applicants to locate such additions in accordance with the
following sequencing:
1. Outside of the standard wetland buffer;
2. Outside of a wetland buffer reduced through enhancement per subsection (17)(3)
of this section;
3.Outside of a wetland buffer reduced through buffer averaging per subsection

use of both buffer reduction and buffer averagingL
5. Within buffer areas that:
a. are physically separated from the associated wetland due to public roads,legally
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
exemption shall only be granted if a submitted critical areas report, in the form of a
critical areas reconnaissance or delineation, provides evidence that all of the
following conditions are met:
1. The wetland is under 500 square feet in area;
2. The wetland is a low -quality Category 3 or 4 wetland;
3. The wetland does not provide significant habitat value for wildlife; and
4. Filling of the wetland can maintain equivalent or greater habitat functions and
values over existing site conditions.
j. Enhancement of Wetlands and Wetland Buffers. Where this chapter allows
development within a w tland ❑r wetland buffer. the director sIiall eon ditinn
proposals for development by requiring enhancement measures consistent with
ECDC 23.40.050 and the purposes and objectives of this title. Conditions of

' 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

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.

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 111 of 488
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 112 of 488
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.

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

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

August 6, 2013

Packet Page 116 of 488
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
August 6, 2013

Packet Page 117 of 488
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
August 6, 2013
Page 9
Packet Page 118 of 488
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
August 6, 2013

Packet Page 119 of 488
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
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
August 20, 2013
Page 14
Packet Page 121 of 488
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 122 of 488
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.

display at businesses, City areas and residences. The winner will be announced at the Museum's annual
fundraiser on November 8. Sponsorship of this event recognizes the Historical Society's 40'' anniversary.
The Museum's mission is to publicize and celebrate the community heritage. This has been done for
nearly 20 years by developing and sponsoring the Edmonds Farmers Market, haunting the museum at
Halloween and quarterly exhibits includes this year's Farming in Snohomish County and 40 x 40, a
display of artifacts in their collection. In addition to the Scarecrow Festival, the Society is trying to
generate interest in a fire museum to house the City's two antique fire engines. The community is invited
to their fundraiser, Heritage Days, on November 8. The first stage of the museum renovation, the
downstairs, has been completed under the direction of Museum Director Tarin Erickson; more exciting
improvements and exhibits are coming.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked whether scarecrows had to be scary. Mr. Lambert responded it was the
person's choice; the only requirement is that scarecrows be family friendly.
6. 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.
Senior Planner Kernen Lien explained the origin of this change was to bring the City's critical area
regulations into consistency 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. 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 the 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 developed footprint concept 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 report concluded the main route to improving critical areas and their buffers
was to require enhancement in exchange for allowing development and redevelopment within the existing
footprint of development.
Another aspect of development within the developed footprint is physically separated and functionally
isolated. He provided the definition of buffer in the City's critical area regulations ECDC 23.40.320:
"...a designated area immediately next to and part of a stream or wetland that is an integral part of the
stream or wetland ecosystem." A property or development may be separated from the critical area by a
"footprint of development" such as a road or structure.
Mr. Lien highlighted the proposed changes to the CAO in the interim ordinance to bring the current CAO
into compliance with BAS:

Councilmember Buckshnis referred to her emails regarding what has occurred; this issue came to the
Parks, Planning & Public Works Committee in July who referred it to the Planning Board and it was
returned to the Council. The Council got caught up in the examples rather than the actual verbiage. She
pointed out an expert must determine when it is physically separated and functionally isolated. She asked
whether a representative of the Department of Ecology (DOE) was present. Mr. Lien answered no;
however, Paul Anderson, Wetland Specialist, Washington State Department of Ecology, provided an
email regarding the interim ordinance.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked whether the Council could change the ordinance to clarify impervious
surface. City Attorney Jeff Taraday advised the interim ordinance will expire in 180 days from adoption
regardless of whether the Council takes any further action. If/when the Council replaces it with a
permanent ordinance, the Council will have the opportunity to make any changes.
Councilmember Johnson suggested it would be helpful for the public to understand the background of the
BAS report and CAO and how they relate to GMA. She understood it was adopted in 2004 and was
supposed to be updated every 7 years which would be 2011. Mr. Lien explained the BAS report itself is
not adopted by the City. In development of critical area regulations, the City is to consider BAS, peer
reviewed articles on buffers, etc. The City's last CAO update in 2004 was effective in 2005; the next
update will be 2015. The CAO is to generally be consistent with BAS. There are instances where it can
deviate from BAS. In the BAS report, many of the studies are done in rural areas where 100-200 foot
buffers actually exist and the goal is to protect the critical area. In Edmonds, it does not make sense to
require a 100-200 foot buffer because the buffers do not exist. The BAS report and discussions with
Ecology and the interim ordinance address allowing development to occur within developed areas in
exchange for enhancement of the critical area or critical area buffer, improving critical areas in the long
run over current conditions.
Councilmember Johnson asked Mr. Lien to summarize activity in the last eight years since the CAO was
adopted and asked if this was the first challenge to the ordinance. Mr. Lien responded there has not been a
challenge to the ordinance; this issue has arisen occasionally in the past including two recent examples.
The issues of physically separated and functionally isolated and development within the developed
footprint were recently discussed with DOE in regard to the Shoreline Management Program update. The
proposed changes would apply across the City; there are a number of examples of physically separated
and functionally isolated and development within the developed footprint. Historically the City focused
on not expanding the impervious surface area; closer inspection of that language including the word
"structure" which changed how the code was applied.
Councilmember Bloom recalled when this was originally presented it was described as the change had to
be made so the CAO was consistent with BAS. She referred to an email from Mr. Taraday, noting she did
not understand what he meant. There was also an email from Mayor Pro Tern Petso with an example
where the CAO does not have to be consistent with BAS. She asked Mr. Taraday to explain whether it
was necessary for this change to be made; if the CAO and BAS had to be consistent. Mr. Taraday
responded her question did not have a simple yes/no answer. He can review the relevant statutory law and
case law but it is complicated. He explained Councilmember Bloom emailed him a question today and he
emailed her a response; his response may not have been a good paraphrasing of the law. In 1999
Washington State Supreme Court had occasion to consider the BAS requirement in the GMA. He read the
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 3, 2013
Page 4
Packet Page 126 of 488
excerpt he sent Councilmember Bloom today from a case, Honesty in Environmental Analysis and
Legislation (HEAL) v. Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board:
The GMA requires balancing of more than a dozen goals and several specific directives in implementing
those goals. The Legislature passed RCW 36.70A.172(1) five years after the GMA was adopted. It knew
of the other factors, but neither made best available science the sole factor, the factor above all other
factors nor made it purely procedural. Instead, the Legislature left the cities and counties with the
authority and obligation to take scientific evidence and to balance that evidence among the many goals
and factors to fashion locally appropriate regulations based on the evidence not on speculation and
surmise.
The trial court's formulation that best available science be included in a substantive way is not
inconsistent with this court's reading of the Board's interpretation of the statute. The trial court also said
the evidence would "guide" decision -making. If by this the trial court meant the science must be
considered and balanced, then the trial court and the Board are in agreement. If "guide, " means the
proposed regulations or policies of the City must result in a particular outcome based on that evidence
standing alone, the court went too far. The trial court, by reversing the Board, believed the Board had
not applied the scientific evidence in a substantive way. We cannot agree with the trial court's reversal of
the result.
Whether scientific evidence is respectable and authoritative, challenged or unchallenged, controlling or
of no consequence when balanced against other factors, goals and evidence to be considered, is first in
the province of the city or county to decide. Then, if challenged, it is for the Growth Management
Hearings Board to review. The Legislature has given great deference to the substantive outcome of that
balancing process. We hold that evidence of the best available science must be included in the record and
must be considered substantively in the development of critical areas policies and regulations.
Mr. Taraday summarized what he heard the court saying was the Council did not have to take a
conclusion reached in the BAS report and apply it verbatim in the City code; that is not necessarily
required. However, the City, Planning Staff, Council, etc., need to include BAS in the record and must
have substantively considered it. It is not enough just to have a folder/file with the BAS report and draft
regulations; what the BAS report says must be taken into consideration. If the City is departing from its
BAS report, it must justify that departure by identifying another competing goal in the GMA in
explaining because of that goal and because of local circumstances, the City Council decided to do it
differently than stated in the BAS report.
Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding of Mr. Taraday's explanation that the BAS report is
used as a guide but nothing needed to be changed at this point because it is only a guide. Mr. Taraday
responded "guide" can be interpreted in different ways. He explained BAS must be included in the record
and must be considered substantively in the development of critical area policies and regulations. His
interpretation of "considered substantively" meant if the City was not relying on the BAS report to make
the code say essentially the same thing, at the very least there needed to be a substantive explanation for
why the code did not match the report.
Councilmember Bloom explained she reviewed the BAS report; she did not find any direction regarding
allowing increased impervious surface in areas that are physically separated and functionally isolated. She
asked Mr. Lien to explain where in the BAS report it says this change should be made. Mr. Lien
responded there is no specific reference in the BAS report to physically separated and functionally
isolated. It is an expansion of the developed footprint concept and allowing redevelopment within those
areas. The definition of buffer is the area immediately next to and an integral part of the critical area. The
definition of buffer incorporates this concept. Physically separated and functionally isolated, which is
determined by a qualified professional, that part of the buffer is separated from the critical area by a
developed footprint. That is the connection to the BAS report and development within the previously
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 3, 2013

Packet Page 127 of 488
developed footprint. In some areas of the City, properties are separated by a road such as the park
example and buffers often extend across multiple parcels. It is separated by a footprint of development,
therefore not providing any function to the critical area.
Mr. Lien referred to a letter from Steve Quarterman, Senior Ecologist, Landau Associates, regarding
application of BAS, specifically in recognizing fragmentation provided by public roads, legally
established structures and similar circumstances isolate habitats, and the inherent understanding that these
features do not constitute vegetated areas adjacent to aquatic resources. Mr. Quarterman's letter also
states this language appears consistent with the current definition of buffers in the City's CAO. Mr. Lien
explained the BAS recognized Edmonds was a developed city and allowing development and
redevelopment in the developed footprint or separated from the critical area in order to enhance critical
areas. The proposal in the interim ordinance is consistent with BAS.
Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding of Mr. Lien's explanation was there is no reference in
the BAS to physically separated and functionally isolated. Mr. Lien agreed there was no specific
reference. Mr. Taraday agreed the phrase, physically separated and functionally isolated, does not appear
in the BAS report, but the concept is represented by the following paragraph on page 31 of the BAS
report: 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.
Mr. Lien referenced another mention of expansion on page 57 of the BAS report: New development or
expansion of existing development into fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas would require a
native vegetation enhancement plan. The gist of the BAS report was allowing limited development or
redevelopment in exchange for enhancement of a critical area because large buffers do not exist
throughout the City.
In response to the inquiry made during Audience Comments, Councilmember Bloom asked Mr. Lien to
read the definition of impervious surfaces in the interim ordinance. Mr. Lien advised the definition of
impervious surface was taken from the State and the Phase II stormwater requirements, "impervious
surface means a hard surface area that either prevents or retards entry of water into the soil mantle as it
occurs under natural conditions prior to development, resulting in stormwater runoff from the surface in
greater quantities or an increased rate of flow compared to stormwater runoff characteristics under natural
conditions prior to development. Common impervious surfaces include but are not limited to rooftops,
walkways, patios, driveways, parking lots or storage areas, outdoor swimming pools, concrete or asphalt
paving, gravel roads, packed earthen materials, or oiled macadam or other surfaces that similarly impede
the natural infiltration of stormwater." Councilmember Bloom observed it includes compacted dirt as well
as gravel. Mr. Lien agreed.
Mayor Pro Tem Petso observed this is a required hearing but not an action item. Mr. Lien agreed. Mayor
Pro Tem Petso referred to the BAS report that states preliminary from August 2004 and asked whether
that was the BAS report or was there a final version. Mr. Lien answered that is the BAS report. Mayor
Pro Tem Petso commented best available science is not the BAS report; it is actually the scientific reports
that were relied on to create the BAS report. Mr. Lien answered the BAS report summarizes best
available science.
Mayor Pro Tem Petso asked how this was allowed without a SEPA review. Mr. Lien answered SEPA was
done. The EIS addendum from 2004 when the City did the CAO update was adopted; the interim
ordinance has been sent to Commerce and reviewed by State departments which generated the comment
from DOE's Wetland Specialist. Mayor Pro Tem Petso asked whether there was a public component to
the SEPA process. Mr. Lien answered it was noticed.

Councilmember Buckshnis asked Ms. Hite to describe the spray pad project and how it enhances the
impervious surfaces and recycles water, the amount of time the City has spent on the project, portions of
the project that are in critical areas and how it is physically separated and functionally isolated from the
wetland marsh by a parking lot. She recalled Mr. Taraday's comments that this is a fine balancing act that
needs to take into consideration all issues. She emphasized the code did not correctly translate the BAS
report. Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite commented this project seems to have been caught up in
the discussion about the CAO. The City Park play area and spray pad plan was adopted in a master plan
in 1992 prior to adoption of the CAO in 2004. She displayed a wetland reconnaissance prepared by
Landau Associates overlaid with the current 30% design prepared by the landscape architect. The design
has been put on hold due to this issue so it is now a couple months behind. She identified the edge of the
Class 2 wetland, Wetland A, on the east side of SR 104, a freshwater wetland with some habitat but not as
ecologically demanding as a Class 1 wetland. According to the CAO a 100-foot buffer should be
considered. She identified the 100-foot buffer on the wetland reconnaissance, noting the wetland was not
surveyed so is not an exact measurement. A survey can be done if necessary.
Ms. Hite explained the wetland buffer contains condominiums and a great deal of impervious surface
including the roadway, the exit drive from City Park, a parking lot and a driveway. She summarized
nearly the entire buffer is impervious. She identified the City Park play area and spray pad, including the
current footprint of the play area; the expansion includes the spray pad which was adopted in the 1992
master plan. Financing for the project includes funds in the 2013 CIP to replace the deteriorating
playground which was used as a match for a $500,000 RCO grant the City received. The Hazel Miller
Foundation funded $270,000 of the project and Snohomish County provided $80,000. The project is
completely funded because the play area replacement was done at the same time as the installation of the
new spray pad. A portion of the current footprint lies within the buffer; the footprint was expanded to add
required ADA walkways. If the ADA walkways were removed, the footprint would be reduced; the State
RCO demands higher accessibility in all projects.
Ms. Hite explained moving the project south outside the buffer area would require removal of several
trees. The project already impacts two trees; efforts will be made to save them. Some diseased trees will
be removed. She identified a grasscrete area designed for truck access to service the underground tank.
She explained three types of water systems that can be used in a spray park:
1. Recirculating system — an expensive system that Snohomish County would not permit because it
is more than 100 feet from the current restroom
2. Percolating system that drains into the ground — not an option because of the proximity to the
marsh.
3. Pump directly into the sewer system
Ms. Hite explained the system being designed for City Park is a water reuse system that reuses water from
the spray area. The water from the impervious area drains into a tank. The tank is treated by UV and
routed out to 14 irrigation zones in City Park, to the restroom to flush toilets, and pumped out for use in
the flower program downtown. She acknowledged not all the water can be reused and some will be
pumped to the sewer. The proposed system will have less impact on the wetland than the current
footprint.
Councilmember Buckshnis concluded the spray park water system will enhance the critical area. Ms. Hite
responded the water system captures all the water, treats and reuses it and pumps it off site.
Mayor Pro Tem Petso opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. Letters had been
received from Paul Anderson, Washington State Department of Ecology, and from Steven Quarterman,
Landau Associates.

Neil Fallon, Tacoma, American Brewing Company, commented sales are so good they need to expand.
He explained prior to opening American Brewing three years ago, he met with the landowners and the
City and was assured he could expand and relied on that information when he signed the lease. Now when
he needs to expand, he was informed the interpretation of the code had been reconsidered and his use now
falls under this complicated set of ideas. He would like to locate two pieces of equipment on asphalt that
is currently located within a buffer. His lease is expiring and he needs to renegotiate it; if he is not
allowed to locate the equipment, it will affect his ability to operate his business. In addition, they are
applying to become a publicly traded company. They are in the process of expanding nationally and need
this additional equipment. He expressed his support for Ordinance No. 3935 and recommended the
Council not overturn the Mayor's veto of Ordinance No. 3940.
Val Stewart, Edmonds, commented the interim ordinance is a temporary measure that will be considered
by the Planning Board and a recommendation forwarded to the Council. The interim ordinance will allow
two well -intended projects to move forward. She referred to Ms. Hite's explanation regarding the benefits
of the spray park, quoting her statements that this is one of the greenest options for operating a spray park
and has been introduced throughout California. This project is one of the first in the State and the first in
Snohomish County to incorporate this green design. With regard to sustainability, Ms. Stewart pointed
out without this interim ordinance the park project will be delayed and the financial impacts could
undermine some of the green benefits. With regard to the American Brewing Company project, from an
economic and environmental sustainability standpoint, having a silo to store ingredients reduces the
amount of gas and transportation costs and makes the business financially sustainable. Both projects are
well -intended and have wonderful benefits. She doubted a project that would encounter this glitch in the
code would be proposed in the five months until the interim ordinance expires.
Ken Reidy, Edmonds, recalled Paul Anderson and the State Department of Ecology exerted very strong
jurisdiction over a large wetland in his neighborhood in 2006. He offered to send the Council Mr.
Anderson's October 6, 2006 letter, addressed to Scott Snyder and others, that states the State had
jurisdiction over the wetland in his neighborhood. He summarized the State was blocked from the
process, the wetland was filled without their knowledge; Mr. Anderson came to his neighborhood and
was blocked from the property. Mr. Anderson later told him that he highly doubted the State's water
quality certifications were met. In subsequent conversations, Mr. Anderson said resources were an issue
with the State's involvement in protecting critical areas in cities.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to the definition in the packet of best practices, no degradation of
associated critical areas, and asked if paving degraded the ability to absorb. He did not understand Mr.
Fallon's problem when the area where he wanted to locate equipment was already covered with asphalt.
He questioned the definition of impervious, pointing out gravel has spaces for water to flow through. He
referred to the definition, no degradation of associated critical area, noting cutting trees or paving over
porous ground was degrading the associated critical area. He concluded the proposed changes were not
appropriate and he preferred to allow the Planning Board to conduct their review. He acknowledged the
City Park project was caught up in this situation but the Council should not change the code to address
one project.
Bruce Witenberg, Edmonds, expressed support for the interim critical areas ordinance and opposed
overriding the Mayor's veto of the Council repeal of the interim critical area ordinance. While it may not
be perfect, the interim ordinance was a vast improvement over the current ordinance. It creates
compatibility between the City's CAO and the BAS, an important element lacking in the current CAO.
The interim ordinance allows the City Park project and the American Brewing Company silo projects to
continue, noting the adverse economic impacts on American Brewing of the Council not adopting the
interim ordinance. The City Park project is on a tight timeline due to government grant deadlines. Failure
to meet the deadlines would disappoint the children anxiously awaiting the completion of the project and
may have unintended consequences of jeopardizing future park grant funds. There is the risk that the
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 3, 2013
Page 8
Packet Page 130 of 488
grant timeline will not be extended and the project not completed at all. In addition the Council may be
jeopardizing its credibility with the Hazel Miller Foundation who has provided substantial funding for
this project. There is also the risk the Foundation may rescind its funding if the project is delayed. He
questioned where funds would come from if public and private funding lapse. He respected the fact that
some Councilmembers want to hear the opinion of the Planning Board, however, that would cause at least
a six week delay. Councilmembers who support delaying implementation of the interim critical area
ordinance are in effect saying they do not have confidence in the Planning Board's recommendation of
the interim ordinance, no confidence in the City Attorney who drafted the interim ordinance and no
confidence in the Department of Ecology with whom staff has discussed the interim ordinance and are
supportive of this approach. Those Councilmembers are substituting their judgment and personal beliefs
for the expertise of professionals. He urged the Council to vote in favor of the interim ordinance.
Hearing no further comment, Mayor Pro Tern Petso closed the public participation portion of the public
hearing.
In response to Mr. Reidy's comment about Ecology's role in regulating wetlands, Mr. Lien explained
Paul Anderson's email suggested the interim ordinance language be changed to state other permits may
be required for enhancements within a wetland or stream. His suggestion will be presented to the
Planning Board.
Ms. Hite confirmed Mr. Witenberg's comments that the project is under a State deadline that requires the
project be completed by July 2014. The project is on track for mid -July 2014; construction was originally
expected to be completed by May and the park open for the summer. An extension can be requested and
the State often grants an extension but that is not guaranteed. In addition there has been some
communication from the Hazel Miller Foundation, not necessarily to rescind their funds, but to look
carefully at the changes in the project. The same is true for the funds provided via an Interlocal
Agreement with Snohomish County. She summarized there is a great deal of time, funding, budget and
scope riding on the ability to develop City Park as proposed.
Councilmember Peterson observed Agenda Item 9 is related to this discussion. He suggested moving Item
9 prior to Items 7 and 8. Mayor Pro Tern Petso agreed they were related; however Item 8 is a public
hearing and Item 7 was scheduled prior to the public hearing because it is related to the public hearing
topic.
Mr. Taraday clarified no action is required. This public hearing is required by State law; adoption of an
interim ordinance also requires the legislative body adopt Findings of Fact justifying its action. He will
prepare a resolution for approval at the next Council meeting affectively adopting the whereas clauses in
Ordinance 3935 as the City Council's Findings of Fact that justify adoption of the interim ordinance. He
invited Councilmembers to offer additional Finding of Fact.
Mayor Pro Tern Petso advised Councilmembers will be absent from the September 17 and 24 meetings.
She asked if the Council should hold a regular Council meeting on September 10 to consider the
resolution. Mr. Taraday answered he would leave that up to Mayor Pro Tern Petso; adoption of the
resolution can pass on a 3-2 vote.
Council President Pro Tern Fraley-Monillas suggested a short Council meeting on September 10 prior to
committee meetings, observing there were 3 Councilmembers absent on September 17 and 2 absent on
September 24. Mayor Pro Tem Petso agreed the resolution would be scheduled for a regular Council
meeting on September 10 prior to committee meetings.

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

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

preparation of the mature stalks, except the resin extracted therefrom, fiber, oil, or cake,
or the sterilized seed of the plant which is incapable of germination.
4
Packet Page 138 of 488
B. "Collective Garden" means a facility, building, use, access -point or other
property, where qualifying patients share responsibility for acquiring and supplying the
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
Control Board to process marijuana into useable marijuana and marijuana -infused
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.
E. "Marijuana -infused products" means products that contain marijuana or
marijuana extracts and are intended for human use. The term "marijuana -infused
products" does not include useable marijuana.
F. "Marijuana retailer" means a person licensed by the State Liquor Control
Board to sell usable marijuana and marijuana -infused products in a retail outlet.
G. "Retail outlet" means a location licensed by the State Liquor Control Board

Section 2: General Definitions.
5
Packet Page 139 of 488
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 140 of 488
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 141 of 488 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 142 of 488
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
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.

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

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.

7. DISCUSSION REGARDING I-502 AND CITY OPTIONS REGARDING MARIJUANA.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday referred to the memo in the Council packet prepared by Susan Drummond,
Lighthouse Law Group, regarding the four options the City has for addressing marijuana facilities. Mr.
Taraday explained the Council recently adopted a moratorium on which a public hearing will be held
next. During the six months the moratorium is in effect, the City can consider what it wants its policy to
be with regard to medical marijuana, collective gardens and recreational marijuana facilities that were
approved via I-502. He reviewed the four options outlined in the memo:
1. Take no action
2. No immediate action; further assess likely impacts and legal concerns. Kent has litigation pending
with regard to a ban on marijuana facilities. Mr. Taraday expected Kent's ban will be upheld by
State courts but a published opinion has not yet been issued.
3. Adopt a permanent ban on marijuana facilities
4. Adopt zoning regulations that allow marijuana facilities in certain zones subject to conditions
Mr. Taraday explained this is a timely discussion because there will be a great deal of activity with regard
to I-502 in the next 6 months. Tomorrow the Liquor Control Board plans to inform cities and counties the
number of retail marijuana facilities they will license for each area. The Liquor Control Board's allocation
does not mean a city cannot ban retail marijuana facilities. The Liquor Control Board will allocate retail
marijuana facilities based on population. Even if Edmonds is allocated a certain number of facilities, the
City does not have to allow them. The City's code is essentially silent, other than the moratorium, with
regard to collective gardens and retail marijuana stores. He noted no one could apply for a retail license
until they have a State license.
Mr. Taraday referred to the timeline in the packet, noting a date he learned about today is the Liquor
Control Board estimates they will begin issuing licenses in March/April 2014. The City's moratorium will
expire in February 2014; hopefully, the Council has provided clear direction before then regarding
zoning, a ban, etc. If the decision is to ban, a ban should be in place by February 2014. If the decision is to
zone facilities, the zoning should be in place by February 2014. Because the code is currently silent, he
recommended the Council provide a clear policy directive. He did not recommend the Council take no
action on a permanent basis.
With regard to federal law, as the memo mentions, on August 29 the Justice Department decided they will
allow I-502 to go into effect. He highlighted statements in a 4-page memo (not in the packet), Guidance
Regarding Marijuana Enforcement intended for all United States attorneys: The Justice Department is
committed to using its limited investigative and prosecutorial resources to address the most significant
threats. The Justice Department identified eight particular threats that it will continue to focus on:
• Preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors;
• Preventing revenue from the sale of marijuana from going to criminal enterprises, gangs, and
cartels;
• Preventing the diversion of marijuana from states where it is legal under state law in some from
to other states;
• Preventing state -authorized marijuana activity from being used as a cover or pretext for the
trafficking of other illegal drugs or other illegal activity;
• Preventing violence and the use of firearms in the cultivation and distribution of marijuana;
• Preventing drugged driving and the exacerbation of other adverse public health consequences
associated with marijuana use;
• Preventing the growing of marijuana on public lands and the attendant public safety and
environmental dangers posed by marijuana production on public lands; and
• Preventing marijuana possession or use on federal property.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
September 3, 2013

Packet Page 147 of 488
Mr. Taraday continued his summary of the memo: Outside of these enforcement priorities, the federal
government has traditionally relied on states and local law enforcement agencies to address marijuana
activity through enforcement of their own narcotics laws. The Department's guidance in this
memorandum rests on its expectation that states and local governments that have enacted laws authorizing
marijuana related conduct will implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems that
will address the threat those state laws could pose. If state enforcement efforts are not sufficiently robust
to protect against the harms set forth above, the federal government may seek to challenge the regulatory
structure itself.
Mr. Taraday summarized all marijuana is illegal under federal law; the federal government is not
changing the classification of marijuana under federal law. The memo states that federal law enforcement
has their enforcement priorities and as long as the states are operating a tight ship with respect to their
regulations and making sure State laws that make marijuana legal and the regulatory scheme do not
interfere with the federal government's eight enforcement priorities, it appears the federal government
will let the states continue without waiving their right to step in later if they perceive things are getting
out of hand or the State's enforcement is too loose.
Council President Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas recalled after the federal government's statements, the
governor's office made a statement agreeing with the federal government. Mr. Taraday said it appears
certain there will be State licensed retail marijuana facilities in Washington; the question is whether the
Council wants them in Edmonds and if so, where. Council President Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas preferred
to observe the challenges over the next few months. Mr. Taraday responded if a majority of the Council is
thinking a ban may be the right way, there is no harm in leaving the moratorium in place and letting 2-4
months pass to see what happens with the Kent case, to confirm that the court will uphold cities' ability to
ban retail marijuana facilities. However, if the Council is leaning toward permitting and zoning, he
recommended Council not simply wait because it will take time for the Planning Board to work through
appropriate zoning. Zoning would ideally take place before licenses are issued in March/April 2014.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she was swaying between 2 (no immediate action) and 4 (adopt zoning
regulations) and having the Parks, Planning & Public Works Committee discuss zoning regulations. She
inquired about taxes the City would receive. Mr. Taraday answered unlike collective gardens which are
not taxed, State licensed facilities will be taxed and if they are allowed in Edmonds, the City will receive
the local share of sales tax. Councilmember Buckshnis asked if the City would determine that tax. Mr.
Taraday answered it is sales tax; there is no special marijuana tax collected by the city. Councilmember
Buckshnis recalled liquor tax is collected by the State and distributed to the cities. Mr. Taraday
summarized the City does not have specific taxing authority unique to only marijuana facilities. If there is
a State licensed retail marijuana facility in Edmonds, it would be like any other retail operation in
Edmonds whereby the City would receive a portion of the sales tax. Councilmember Buckshnis suggested
this also be reviewed by the Public Safety and Finance Committees.
Mayor Pro Tem Petso observed a city may be permitted to prevent a facility from locating with 1,000 feet
of a school. She asked if a city could require a greater distance or add other public facilities such as
libraries or parks. Mr. Taraday explained I-502 will address that; the 1,000 foot buffer is listed in I-502
and covers parks, schools, libraries and other areas where minors may be present. The State will address
much of that via its own licensing efforts. If the City has the ability to ban, it would have the authority to
further restrict them.
Councilmember Peterson summarized the issues moving forward include, 1) retail locations, 2) collective
gardens, and 3) businesses that use marijuana as a food additive. Mr. Taraday advised under I-502, there
are three different licenses, 1) producer, 2) processor, and 3) retailer. In addition there is the non-1-502
collective garden related to medical marijuana; there is currently nothing in the code to address this.

Collective gardens are not licensed or taxed by the State. Unless there is City zoning to regulate collective
gardens, the City cannot rely on the Liquor Control Board to regulate them.
Councilmember Peterson asked if the City was more vulnerable to a collective gardening license without
regulations in the code. Mr. Taraday requested the Council provide clear policy direction with regard to
collective gardens. Before the moratorium was adopted there were inquiries about collective gardens. He
did not envision that interest would go away with the establishment of State licensed marijuana outlets
because collective gardens do not pay tax. Acting Development Services Director Rob Chave commented
silence is not generally prohibition. If someone applies, staff attempts to determine where it fits in the
code. Many of the land use classifications are very broad; for example a collective garden could be
considered gardening. He did not recommend the Council do nothing. He agreed with referring it to
multiple committees because land use will have a relatively minor role and there are other issues such as
licensing, enforcement, etc. He suggested not referring to the Planning Board until the Council has had
more discussion regarding what path they want to follow.
Councilmember Peterson asked if restaurants would be allowed to use cannabis as an ingredient. Mr.
Taraday answered he did not think so because no public consumption of marijuana was allowed even
under I-502. Councilmember Peterson recalled I-502 did not allow public smoking but was unsure if there
was no public consumption. Mr. Taraday recalled there no distinction between smoking and consumption;
he offered to research.
Councilmember Peterson asked whether there was a 1,000 foot restriction from schools, churches, etc. for
breweries, distilleries, liquor stores and other licensed operations or were they only allowed in
commercial areas. Mr. Chave answered there are similar distance separation requirements for adult
entertainment; by the time they are applied throughout the City there are a very limited number of sites
available. The City's GIS person is attempting to map potential sites under the limitations of I-502. He
anticipated the potential locations would be fairly limited. Councilmember Peterson suggested that
information be given to the committees for review. He asked if the State was utilizing GIS in allocating
the number of facilities per jurisdiction. Mr. Taraday answered he believed the State was allocating
facilities based on population not GIS. Councilmember Peterson observed the State could allocate
Edmonds 15 facilities and there could only be 3 available sites. Mr. Taraday agreed that was possible.
Councilmember Yamamoto asked whether Council action was necessary to extend the moratorium. Mr.
Taraday answered the moratorium will remain in effect for 6 months from the date of adoption, February
2014. The Council has time to give this careful consideration. Depending on how the Council wants to
proceed, it would be helpful to know sooner rather than later so staff can plan accordingly.
Mayor Pro Tern Petso advised this was on tonight's agenda as a discussion item prior to the public
hearing to inform the public. However, it appeared Mr. Taraday was asking for Council direction.
Councilmember Peterson favored following the rules and regulations in 1-502 with regard to zoning and
siting. He also suggested obtaining information from other cities who have allowed collective gardens
such as Mukilteo. Washington is on the leading edge of an important change in attitudes toward
marijuana, both medical and recreational and it is important to have as much information as possible.
Council President Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas agreed with Councilmember Peterson.
Mayor Pro Tern Petso suggested scheduling this for October committee meetings. She asked Mr. Taraday
whether he had sufficient direction from Council. Mr. Taraday answered there was time for discussion by
Council committees. The Liquor Control Board plans to adopt the rules on October 16. The rules will be
in fairly final form by the October committee meetings. A public hearing on the draft rules is scheduled
on October 9.

Councilmember Johnson agreed that would be a prudent course. She also suggested committees be
provided the GIS information that identifies potential locations.
Councilmember Peterson suggested further discussion could occur at the Council's October 22 work
session.
8. PUBLIC HEARING ON ORDINANCE NO. 3938 - RELATING TO COLLECTIVE GARDENS
AND THE RECREATIONAL USES 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 RULE MAKING 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.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday advised this is a statutorily required public hearing; anytime the Council
adopts a moratorium a public hearing is required within 60 days of adoption.
Mayor Pro Tern Petso opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. There were no
members of the audience present who wished to provide testimony. Mayor Pro Tem Petso closed the
public participation portion of the public hearing.
Mr. Taraday advised he would prepare a resolution using the whereas statements from the ordinance as
the Findings of Fact for Council consideration at the September 10 meeting.
Councilmember Peterson recalled he voted against the moratorium. Although he likely still would have
voted against it, he would have felt more comfortable if the previous item had been scheduled on the
agenda along with the moratorium.
9. RECONSIDERATION OF THE MAYOR'S VETO OF ORDINANCE NO. 3940 - REPEALING
INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 3935, 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.
Mayor Pro Tern Petso explained this reconsideration is required by State law.
Councilmember Bloom asked if this was was being done because the Mayor has the option to either veto
an ordinance or sign and pass it. City Attorney Jeff Taraday answered yes; or a Mayor could do nothing in
which case it becomes law. Councilmember Bloom referred to the last sentence of the RCW that states if
the Mayor fails for 10 days to either approve or veto an ordinance, it shall become valid without his or her
approval. Ordinances shall be signed by the mayor and attested by the clerk. She asked what happened if
the Mayor did not veto or sign an ordinance. Mr. Taraday explained if the Mayor does not veto or sign an
ordinance it becomes valid without his/her approval. Councilmember Bloom asked whether it became
effective within 10 days. Mr. Taraday answered the effective date depends on what is stated in the
ordinance. Councilmember Bloom observed the effective date could be as stated in the ordinance;

Authorization to approve additional funding for the 190th Place SW Retaining Wall.
Recommendation
Approve additional funding to extend the 190th Place SW Retaining Wall.
5.
Previous Council Action
On August 6, 2013, the City Council approved a Settlement Agreement and Release with the Meiers to provide payment to
construct a new retaining wall on 190th Place SW.
Narrative
The City has been working with the Meiers' Contractor to coordinate the placement of the new retaining wall approved as part
of the Settlement Agreement last month. After a recent field inspection and locating the placement of the proposed wall, staff
and the City's geotechnical engineer determined that the City should extend the wall approximately 24 feet to the southwest.
The need to extend the wall became more evident after vegetation was removed from the slope in the area below where the
Meiers' wall is to end. The extension of the wall would protect the City's infrastructure on 190th PI SW and a section of steep
slope that lies partially within the City's right of way adjacent to the property owner southwest of the Meiers' property.
The preliminary cost estimate from the Meiers' Contractor is approximately $30,000. The added cost will be the City's
responsibility and will be funded by the City's stormwater utility fund.

City Investments and the County Investment Pool
Recommendation

Tyne:
Information
Information
8. D.
Our objective in bringing this to Council is to notify the Council of our plan since to invest these amounts in the pool. While
the Finance director has authority to make investments on behalf of the City, this is a significant movement of dollars and
accordingly, reviewing the plan with the Finance Committee is appropriate.
Previous Council Action
Narrative
The City Investment Policy emphasizes prudent investments with the primary objectives being (in priority order):
1. Safety;
2. Liquidity; and
3. Return on Investment.
Interest rates have been significantly down from historical levels since 2008. In 2013, partly due to low interest rates and partly
due to change in key personnel, funds in bank balances (for which we receive credits to be applied to services incurred, but for
which no interest will be received) and in the State Treasurer's Local Government Investment Program (for which we are
currently receiving interest of 0.12% annually) have grown. We also have $3 million in bonds earning between 0.54% and
0.90%. These bonds all mature in the next month.
The options facing the City are to:
• Invest in bonds which can include risk and if done on a broader basis requires a higher level of staffing that the City
currently has;
• Continue to invest in the State Local Government Investment Program earning 0.1%; or
• Identify a different model which would meet the City's investment policy guidelines and produce a higher investment yield.
We have identified an outstanding approach which meets the criteria in the "different model option". The Snohomish County
Investment Pool (SCIP) is a portfolio of a combination of investments with varying maturities designed to control investment
risk and maximize earnings. The portfolio has an average maturity of more than 90 days. It has been established to provide
Snohomish County and Districts a tool for investment of cash from operations, capital funds and bond proceeds. Total
Investments in the County pool are currently at $369 million.
Participants may include, but are not limited to districts, (such as the following: school, fire, port, drainage, road improvement,
emergency management, fire districts) cities, transportation agencies and other public entities who desire to participate.

2006 4.96% 5.14% 4.77%
2007 4.71 % 4.87% 4.31 %

2011 0.17% 1.30% 0.44%
Packet Page 181 of 488
2012 0.17% 1.00% 0.27%
The average annualized investment fee is currently 6.5 basis points (.065%).
The County's Investment Policy is consistent with the City's policy. The County Finance Director is authorized to initiate the
investment, but because it is material amount, it is appropriate to notify the Council of our intent to make the investment.
At this point, not including bond proceeds, the City has in excess of $30 million in investable proceeds. Finance's plan is to
invest $15 million into the pool. Conservatively, the amount of additional revenue gained by the City in 2014 will easily
exceed $100 thousand.

SNOHOMISH COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY
I. POLICY
It is the policy of the Snohomish County Treasurer's Office (hereinafter referred to as the
"Treasurer") to invest public funds in a manner which will provide maximum security with
the highest investment return while meeting daily cash flow demands and conforming to all
state and local statues governing the investment of public funds.
II. SCOPE
This investment policy applies to all financial assets of Snohomish County and its' junior
taxing districts. These funds are accounted for in the Snohomish County Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report and include
General Fund
Special Revenue Funds
Capital Projects Funds
Enterprise Funds
Trust and Agency Funds
Debt Service Funds (Unless prohibited by Bond indentures)
Any new fund created by County ordinance, unless specifically exempted
Should bond covenants be more restrictive than this policy, funds shall be invested in full
compliance with those restrictions.
Pooling of funds
Fund Managers can either request the Treasurer to pool their jurisdictions' money in the
Snohomish County Investment Pool (SCIP), or request that the Treasurer purchase a security
with a specific term and amount that is held outside the Snohomish County Investment Pool
(SCIP). Investment income from funds that have been pooled in the SCIP, will be allocated
to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with the
generally accepted accounting principles.
III. PRUDENCE
Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing,
which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their
own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their
capital as well as the probable income to be derived.
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "Prudent Person"
standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio under prevailing
economic conditions at the moment of investment commitments. Investment officers acting
in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due
diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk
Packet Page 183 of 488
SNOHOMISH COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY
or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely
fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
In determining whether an Investment official has exercised prudence with respect to an
investment decision, the determination shall be made taking into consideration the
investment of all funds over which the official had responsibility rather than a consideration
as to the prudence of a single investment, and, whether the investment decision was
consistent with the written investment policy of the entity.
IV. OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives, in priority order, of Snohomish County investment
activities shall be:
Safe : Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the Treasurer's investment program.
Investments of Snohomish County and the junior taxing districts will be undertaken in a
manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To obtain
this objective, diversification is required in order that potential losses on individual
securities do not exceed the income generated from the remainder of the portfolio.
Li uidi : The portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the County to meet all
cash requirements that might reasonably be anticipated. This is accomplished by
structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet
anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot
be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or
resale markets (dynamic liquidity).
Return on Investment: The Investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of
attaining a market rate of return through budgetary and economic cycles, taking into
account the County's investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on
investments is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives
described above. The core of investments is limited to relatively low risk securities in
anticipation of earning a fair rate of return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities
shall generally be held until maturity with the following exceptions:
■ A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize the loss of principal.
■ A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration of the portfolio.
■ Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold early.
Portfolios: The County Treasurer manages two portfolios;
1) The liquidity portfolio — The main objective of this portfolio are to meet the daily
liquidity needs of the county funds as well as the junior taxing districts. Investments
2
Packet Page 184 of 488
SNOHOMISH COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY
in this portfolio primarily consist of money that is invested in the State Investment
Pool as well as money market accounts that provide immediate liquidity.
2) The Snohomish County Investment Pool (SCIP) — This portfolio is comprised of cash
that is not reasonably expected to be necessary to meet the short term liquidity needs
of the pool participants. Accordingly, this cash may be invested further out the yield
curve where, over a Markey cycle, it is expected to provide a higher return. Return
will be paid on an accrual basis. The SCIP portfolio may have a maximum modified
duration of no longer than 3 years.
V. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
County code 2.110.010 empowers the County Finance Committee to approve investment
policy and make rules and regulations. Authority to manage the Snohomish County
investment program is derived from RCW 36.29.020.
A. The Treasurer will appoint an Investment Officer whose responsibilities will
include initiating daily transactions in the investment portfolio based on
liquidity and cash flow requirements of the county, junior and special taxing
districts and their respective funds. In addition, the Investment Officer shall
establish written procedures for the operation of the investment program
consistent with the investment policy.
B. No person may initiate investment transactions on behalf of the Treasurer
without the express written consent of the Treasurer or the Investment
Officer after consultation with the Treasurer.
VI. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
A. Investment officials will recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public
review and evaluation. The overall program will be designed and managed with a
degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust.
B. Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from
personal business activity that may conflict with the proper execution of the
investment program, or may impair their ability to make impartial investment
decisions. Investment officials shall disclose to the Treasurer any material financial
interests in financial institutions that conduct business with the County, and they
will further disclose any personal financial or investment positions that could be
related to the performance of the County portfolio, particularly with regard to the
timing of purchases and sales.
VII. AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL DEALERS AND INSTITUTIONS
A. Selection of a primary bank for Snohomish County general banking services will be
made by the Treasurer.
3
Packet Page 185 of 488
SNOHOMISH COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY
B. The Treasurer will maintain a list of financial institutions authorized to provide
investment services. In addition, a list will also be maintained of approved security
broker/dealers selected by credit worthiness. These may include "primary" dealers
or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule
150-1 (uniform net capital rule).
As required by state law, (RCW 39.58), certificates of deposit will be purchased
only from those institutions approved by the Washington Public Deposit Protection
Commission (PDPC) as eligible for deposit of public funds. The Treasurer will
annually adopt the eligibility list provided by the PDPC as the approved depositary
list.
The maximum amount placed with any one depositary will not exceed the net worth
of the institution as determined by the PDPC.
Qualified broker/dealers and financial institutions will be reviewed and selected by
the Treasurer on a routine basis. All brokers/dealers and financial institutions who
desire to do business with Snohomish County must supply the Treasurer with the
following:
1. Annual audited financial statements.
2. Proof of FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) certification.
3. Proof of registration with the State of Washington.
4. A completed Broker/Dealer questionnaire and a certification of having
read the Snohomish County Investment Policy.
The Treasurer will conduct an annual review of the financial condition of the firms.
A current audited financial statement is required to be on file for each financial
institution and broker/dealer with whom the County invests.
VIII. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
Snohomish County is empowered by statute (RCW 36.29, 39.58, 39.59, 39.60, 43.25 and

weekly basis. Prevailing market conditions may dictate more frequent
repricing at the discretion of the Treasurer.
X. SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY

SNOHOMISH COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY
C. Certificates of deposit will be held by the Treasurer.
XI. DIVERSIFICATION
It is the policy of Snohomish County to diversify its investment portfolios. To eliminate risk
of loss resulting from the over -concentration of assets in a specific maturity, issuer or class of
securities, all cash and cash equivalent assets in all funds shall be diversified by maturity,
issuer and by the class of security. Diversification strategies shall be determined and revised
periodically by the investment committee/investment officer for all funds. In establishing
specific diversification strategies, the following constraints shall apply:
Max. %
of
Portfolio
Washington State Local Government Investment Pool 100%
U.S. Treasury Obligations
Federal Agency securities
100%
90%
Municipal Investment Accounts 40%
Certificates of Deposit (CDs) 40%
Repurchase Agreements (Repos) 40%
Bonds of State of Washington or any local government 20%
in the State of Washington

SNOHOMISH COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY
XIII. MATURITIES
To the extent possible and to preclude sales of securities that could result in a loss,
investments will be made to coincide with anticipated cash flow requirements. Because of
inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of the
portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds such as the Local
Government Investment Pool, money market funds to ensure that appropriate liquidity is
maintained to meet ongoing obligations.
A. To this extent, 20% of the portfolio, at the time of investment, will be comprised
of investments maturing within a year.
B. Satisfying this requirement, remaining funds may be invested in authorized
securities not to exceed five years in maturity, except when compatible with a
specific fund's investment needs. Maturities longer than five years must have the
prior written approval of the Treasurer.
C. To ensure additional liquidity and provide for ongoing market opportunity the
weighted average maturity and modified duration of the overall portfolio shall not
exceed three years without the prior written approval of the Treasurer.
XIV. INTERNAL CONTROL
The investment officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control
structure designed to ensure that the assets are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The
Treasurer shall establish an annual process of independent review by an external auditor. This
review will provide internal control by assuring compliance with policies and procedures.
The internal controls shall address the following points:
• Control of collusion
• Separation of transaction authority from accounting and recordkeeping
• Custodial Safekeeping
• Avoidance of physical delivery securities
• Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members
• Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers
• Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third -party
custodian
XV. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS/BENCHMARK
The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters specified within
this policy. The investment portfolio will be designed to obtain an average rate of return
during budgetary and economic cycles, consistent with the investment objectives and cash
flow needs. A series of appropriate benchmarks shall be established against which
W
Packet Page 191 of 488
SNOHOMISH COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY
performance shall be compared on a regular basis. The benchmark will be reflective of the
actual securities being purchased and the risks undertaken. The benchmarks will have a
similar weighted average maturity as the portfolio.
XVI. PROCEDURES
Day-to-day procedures concerning investment management and accounting are outside the
scope of this policy. As deemed necessary, the Treasurer will establish written procedures
for the operation of the investment program consistent with this policy.
XVII. REPORTING
At least quarterly, a report will be submitted to the Snohomish County Finance Committee
for their review, summarizing the current position of the portfolio for Snohomish County.
The Treasurer and Investment Officer shall report to the committee current investment
strategy being followed and recent economic conditions and market developments which
have a bearing on this strategy. This management report will be prepared in a manner which
will allow the Finance Committee to ascertain whether investment activities during the
reporting period have conformed to the investment policy. The report will include:
• A listing of individual securities held at the end of the reporting period by
authorized investment category
• Asset allocation of types of securities
• Performance of portfolio and its appropriate benchmark(s)
XVIII. INVESTMENT FEES
RCW 36.29.020 allows the charging of an investment fee for providing service of investing
funds. Five percent of the interest or earnings, with an annual maximum of fifty dollars, on
each transaction authorized by each resolution of the governing body shall be paid as an
investment service fee. If the fee amounts to five dollars or less, the County Treasurer may
waive such fee.
RCW 28A.58.440 allows the charging of an investment fee for school districts. Five percent
of the interest or earnings, with an annual minimum of ten dollars or annual maximum of fifty
dollars, on any transactions authorized by each resolution of the board.
RCW 36.29.024 allows the charging of investment fees which reimburse the Treasurer's
Office for the actual expenses incurred in administering the investment function under a local
pooling program. This fee is allocated to pool participants in a manner which equitably
reflects the differing amounts and differing periods of time the amounts were placed in the
county pool. Any investment fees collected in excess of actual expenses will be rebated to
the pool participants on an annual basis.
XIX. INVESTMENT POLICY ADOPTION

DEFINITIONS
ACCRUED INTEREST - The interest accumulated on a bond since issue date or the last coupon
payment. The buyer of the bond pays the market price and accrued interest, which is payable to the seller.
AGENCY - A debt security issued by a federal or federally sponsored agency. Federal agencies are
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Federally Sponsored Agencies (FSAs) are
backed by each particular agency with a market perception that there is an implicit government guarantee.
(Also see FEDERAL AGENCY SECURITIES and GOVERNMENT SECURITY)
AMORTIZATION - In portfolio accounting, periodic charges made against interest income on premium
bonds in anticipation of receipt of the call price at call or of par value at maturity.
ASSET - Available property, as for payment of debts
AVERAGE MATURITY - A weighted average of the expiration dates for a portfolio of debt securities.
An income fund's volatility can be managed by shortening or lengthening the average maturity of its
portfolio.
BANK WIRE - A virtually instantaneous electronic transfer of funds between two financial institutions.
BANKERS ACCEPTANCES (BAs) - Bankers Acceptances generally are created based on a letter of
credit issued in a foreign trade transaction. They are used to finance the shipment of commodities between
countries as well as the shipment of some specific goods within the United States. BAs are short-term,
non -interest bearing notes sold at a discount and redeemed by the accepting bank at maturity for full face
value. These notes trade at a rate equal to or slightly higher than Certificates of Deposit (CDs), depending
on market supply and demand.
Bankers Acceptances are sold in amounts that vary from $100,000 to $5,000,000, or more, with maturities
ranging from 30 - 270 days. They offer liquidity to the investor as it is possible to sell BAs prior to
maturity at the current market price.
BASIS POINT - A measure of an interest rate, i.e., 1/100 of I percent, or .0001.
BID - The indicated price at which a buyer is willing to purchase a security or commodity. When selling a
security a bid is obtained. (See Offer)
BOND - A long-term debt security, or IOU, issued by a government or corporation that generally pays a
stated rate of interest and returns the face value on the maturity date.
BOOK ENTRY SECURITIES - U.S. government and federal agency securities that do not exist in
definitive (paper) form; they exist only in computerized files maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank.
BOOK VALUE - The amount at which an asset is carried on the books of the owner. The book value of
an asset does not necessarily have a significant relationship to market value.
BROKER - A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a commission paid by the initiator of the
transaction or by both sides.
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT - Certificates of Deposit, familiarly known as CDs, are certificates
issued against funds deposited in a bank for a definite period of time and earning a specified rate of return.
Certificates of Deposit bear rates of interest in line with money market rates current at the time of
issuance.
COLLATERAL: Property (as securities) pledged by a borrower to protect the interest of the lender.
COMPETITIVE BID PROCESS - A process by which three or more institutions are contacted via the
telephone to obtain interest rates for specific securities.
CREDIT QUALITY - The measurement of the financial strength of a bond issuer. This measurement
helps an investor to understand an issuer's ability to make timely interest payments and repay the loan
principal upon maturity. Generally, the higher the credit quality of a bond issuer, the lower the interest
12
Packet Page 194 of 488
SNOHOMISH COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY
rate paid by the issuer because the risk of default is lower. Credit quality ratings are provided by
nationally recognized rating agencies.
CREDIT RISK - The risk that another party to an investment transaction will not fulfill its obligations.
Credit risk can be associated with the issuer of a security, a financial institution holding the entity's
deposit, or a third party holding securities or collateral. Credit risk exposure can be affected by a
concentration of deposits or investments in any one investment type or with any one party.
CUSTODIAN - An independent third party (usually bank or trust company) that holds securities in
safekeeping as an agent for the county.
DEALER - A dealer, as opposed to a broker, acts as a principal in all transactions, buying and selling for
his own account.
DEFEASE - To discharge the lien of an ordinance, resolution, or indenture relating to a bond issue, and in
the process, render inoperative restrictions under which the issuer has been obliged to operate. Comment:

sufficient to fully pay all amounts under a bond contract as they become due.
DELIVERY - The providing of a security in an acceptable form to the County or to an agent acting on
behalf of the County and independent of the seller. Acceptable forms can be physical securities or the
transfer of book entry securities. The important distinction is that the transfer accomplishes absolute
ownership control by the County
DELIVERY VS PAYMENT - There are two methods of delivery of securities: Delivery vs. payment
and delivery vs. receipt (also called free). Delivery vs. payment is delivery of securities with an exchange
of money for the securities. Delivery vs. receipt is delivery of securities with an exchange of a signed
receipt for the securities.
DEPOSITARY - A person to whom something is entrusted, a depository.
DEPOSITORY BANK - A local bank used as the point of deposit for cash receipts.
DEPOSITORY INSURANCE - Insurance on deposits with financial institutions. For purposes of this
policy statement, depository insurance includes: a) Federal depository insurance funds, such as those
maintained by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) AND Federal Savings and Loan
Insurance Corporation (FSLIC); and b) Public Deposit Protection Commission.
DISCOUNT - 1. (n.) selling below par; e.g., a $1000 bond selling for $900. 2. (v.) anticipating the
effects of news on a security's value; e.g., "The market had already discounted the effect of the labor strike
by bidding the company's stock down."
DIVERSIFICATION - Dividing available funds among a variety of securities and institutions so as to
minimize market risk.
EFFECTIVE RATE - The yield you would receive on a debt security over a period of time taking into
account any compounding effect.
FACE VALUE - The value of a bond stated on the bond certificate; thus, the redemption value at
maturity. Most bonds have a face value, or par, of $1,000.
FEDERAL AGENCY SECURITIES - Several government -sponsored agencies, in recent years, have
issued short and long-term notes. Such notes typically are issued through dealers, mostly investment
banking houses. These Federal government -sponsored agencies were established by the U.S. Congress to
undertake various types of financing without tapping the public treasury. In order to do so, the agencies
have been given the power to borrow money by issuing securities, generally under the authority of an act
of Congress. These securities are highly acceptable and marketable for several reasons, mainly because
they are exempt from state, municipal and local income taxes. Furthermore, agency securities must offer a
higher yield than direct Treasury debt of the same maturity to find investors, partly because these
securities are not direct obligations of the Treasury.
13
Packet Page 195 of 488
SNOHOMISH COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY
The main agency borrowing institutions are the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), the
Federal Home Loan Bank System (FHLB), and the Federal Farm Credit System (FFCS).
FNMA - FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION - issues notes tailored to the maturity

their denominations from $5,000 to $1 million.
FHLB - FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM - consists of twelve Federal Home Loan Banks,
issues, in addition to long-term bonds, coupon notes with maturities of up to one year. Their attractiveness
stems from their investment denominations of $10,000 to $1 million.
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE (FDIC) - A Federal institution that insures bank deposits. The
current limit is up to $100,000 per depository account.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE - The rate of interest at which Fed Funds are traded between banks. Fed

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANKS (FHLB) - The institutions that regulate and lend to savings and loan
associations.
FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION (FNMA) - FNMA, like GNMA, was

that insures savings and loan deposits. The current limit is up to $100,000 per depository account.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS - Establishments that include the circulation of money, the granting of
credit, the making of investments, and the provision of banking facilities.
FISCAL AGENCY - A financial institution that handles certain bond and coupon redemptions on behalf

FLEXIBLE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS (Flex Repos) - Similar to a term repurchase agreement, a
flex repo is a contractual transfer of U.S. government securities during the investment period, whereby the
Seller agrees to repurchase the collateral securities from the Buyer on the Buyer's demand, subject to
provisions of the agreement. The Seller is generally a financial institution such as a securities dealer or a
bank. As buyers, most issuers require over collateralization, marking -to -market of collateral and delivery -
vs. -payment of collateral.
GINNIE MAES (GNMAs) - Mortgage securities issued and guarantied, as to timely interest and principal
payments, by the Government National Mortgage, an agency within the Department of Housing and Urban

government as to both principal and interest payments. Other securities, such as those issued by the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie Mac, are backed by the issuing agency.
14

SNOHOMISH COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY
HAIRCUT - This term describes the way brokers and clients protect themselves from market risk in doing
repos. An entity wanting to finance the purchase of $100 million in Treasury bonds may borrow just $98
million of the money. The two percent difference between the amount of securities purchased and the
amount of money borrowed is the haircut. Similarly, an entity looking to borrow $100 million may need
to provide, as collateral, Treasury securities with a market price equal to $102 million.
LIQUIDATION - Conversion into cash.
LIQUIDITY - Refers to the ease and speed with which an asset can be converted into cash without a
substantial loss in value.

competitive prices.
MARKET RISK - The risk associated with declines or rises in interest rates which cause an investment in
a fixed -income security to increase or decrease in value. The risk that the market value of an investment,
collateral protecting a deposit, or securities underlying a repurchase agreement will decline.
MARKET VALUE - The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be sold.
MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT - An agreement between the investor and the dealer or

Packet Page 197 of 488
SNOHOMISH COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY
maximum liability and which has been approved by the Public Deposit Protection Commission to hold
public deposits.
REGISTERED SECURITY - A security that has the name of the owner written on its face. A registered
security cannot be negotiated except by the endorsement of the owner.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (REPO) - The Repo is a contractual transaction between an investor
and an issuing financial institution (not a secured loan). The investor exchanges cash for temporary
ownership of specific securities, with an agreement between the parties that on a future date, the financial
institution will repurchase the securities at a prearranged price. An "Open Repo" does not have a specified
repurchase date and the repurchase price is established by a formula computation.
REPRICING - The revaluation of the market value of securities.
REVERSE REPOs - The opposite of the transaction undertaken through a regular repurchase agreement.
In a "reverse" the County initially owns securities and the bank or dealer temporarily exchanges cash for
this collateral. This is, in effect, temporarily borrowing cash at a high interest rate and is also known as
securities lending. Most typically, a Repo is initiated by the lender of funds. Reverses are used by dealers
to borrow securities they have shorted.
SAFEKEEPING - A service to customers rendered by banks for a fee whereby all securities and

on the secondary market from lenders. SLMA stock is publicly traded.
SECURITIES - Bonds, notes, mortgages, or other forms of negotiable or non-negotiable instruments.
SETTLEMENT DATES - The day on which payment is due for a securities purchase. For stocks and
mutual funds bought through an investment dealer, settlement is normally five business days after the trade
date. Bonds and options normally settle one business day after the trade date mutual fund shares
purchased directly by mail or wire settle on the day payment is received.
SPREAD - (a) Difference between the best buying price and the best selling price for any given security.
(b) Difference between yields on or prices of two securities of differing quality or differing maturities. (c)
In underwriting, difference between price realized by the issuer and price paid by the investor.
STRIPPED TREASURIES - U.S. Treasury debt obligations in which coupons are removed by brokerage
houses, creating zero -coupon bonds.
TRIPARTITE CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT - An agreement that occurs when a third party or
custodian becomes a direct participant in a repurchase transaction. The custodian ensures that the
exchange occurs simultaneously and that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the investor's
interest in the underlying collateral.
THIRD -PARTY SAFEKEEPING - A safekeeping arrangement whereby the investor has full control
over the securities being held and the dealer or bank investment department has no access to the securities
being held.
TIME DEPOSIT - Interest -bearing deposit at a savings institution that has a specific maturity.
TREASURY BILLS - Treasury bills are short-term debt obligations of the U.S. Government. They offer
maximum safety of principal since they are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States
Government. Treasury bills, commonly called "T-Bills," account for the bulk of government financing,
and are the major vehicle used by the Federal Reserve System in the money market to implement national
monetary policy. T-Bills are sold in three, six, nine, and twelve-month bills. Because treasury bills are
considered "risk -free," these instruments generally yield the lowest returns in the major money market
instruments.
16
Packet Page 198 of 488
SNOHOMISH COUNTY INVESTMENT POLICY
TREASURY NOTES AND BONDS - While T-Bills are sold at a discount rate that establishes the yield
to maturity, all other marketable treasury obligations are coupon issued. These include Treasury Notes
with maturities from one to ten years and Treasury Bonds with maturities of 10-30 years. The instruments
are typically held by banks and savings and loan associations. Since Bills, Notes and Bonds are general
obligations of the U.S. Government, and since the Federal Government has the lowest credit risk of all
participants in the money market, its obligations generally offer a lower yield to the investor than do other
securities of comparable maturities.
UNDERLYING SECURITIES - Securities transferred in accordance with a repurchase agreement.
VENDOR - A business or individual who provides a service or product at a cost.
WHEN -ISSUED TRADES - Typically, there is a lag between the time a new bond is announced and sold
and the time it is actually issued. During this interval, the security trades "wi," "when, as, and if issued."
Wi - When, as, and if issued. See When -issued trades.
YIELD - The rate at which an investment pays out interest or dividend income, expressed in percentage
terms and calculated by dividing the amount paid by the price of the security and annualizing the result.
YIELD BASIS - Stated in terms of yield as opposed to price. As yield increases for a traded issue, price
decreases and vice versa. Charts prepared on a yield basis appear exactly opposite of those prepared on a
price basis.
YIELD SPREAD - The variation between yields on different types of debt securities; generally a function
of supply and demand, credit quality and expected interest rate fluctuations. Treasury bonds, for example,
because they are so safe, will normally yield less than corporate bonds. Yields may also differ on similar
securities with different maturities. Long-term debt, for example, carries more risk of market changes and
issuer defaults than short-term debt and thus usually yields more.
ZERO -COUPON BONDS - Securities that do not pay interest but are instead sold at a deep discount
from face value. They rise in price as the maturity date nears and are redeemed at face value upon
maturity.

OPERATIONS
SNOHOMISH COUNTY INVESTMENT POOL (SCIP)
Background.
The Snohomish County Investment Pool (SCIP) is a portfolio of a combination of investments
with varying maturities designed to control investment risk and maximize earnings. The portfolio
has an average maturity of more than 90 days. It has been established to provide Snohomish
County and Districts a tool for investment of cash from operations, capital funds and bond
proceeds.
Participants may include, but are not limited to districts, (such as the following: school, fire, port,
drainage, road improvement, emergency management, fire districts) cities, transportation
agencies and other public entities who desire to participate. Participants will be unlimited
provided that the bond proceeds plus other funds associated with that one participant do not
exceed 25% of the total assets of the pool.
Puroose of Poolin
The Snohomish County Treasurer invests funds collectively in order to efficiently meet
investment objectives. The purpose of the pool is to allow Participants to pool funds available
for investments in order to achieve a potentially higher yield while maintaining adequate
diversification and liquidity. The "Prudent Investor" rule as defined by RCW 43.250.040 (and
spelled out in the Snohomish County Investment Policy) applies to all investments purchased on
behalf of the pool.
The pool has been created to promote a more efficient mechanism for investing Public funds in
large dollar amounts in order to take advantage of market conditions which generally result in
higher yields over time.
Participants are provided with a convenient method of pooling their liquid cash, as well as bond
proceeds and other capital and reserve resources for temporary investing pending their
expenditures.
The pool seeks to provide the following benefits:
• Preservation of principal — Investments are only made in instruments authorized
by the Washington State law, and in accordance with the Snohomish County
Investment Policy. To preserve principal, Investments are restricted to those with
the highest credit rating at the time of purchase.
• Liquidity — Portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to enable its participants to
have funds available to pay operating and capital expenditures.
Packet Page 201 of 488
• Income — The pool seeks to earn a market rate of return throughout budgetary
and variable economic cycles consistent with preserving principal and
maintaining liquidity.
Interest Earnings.
Interest is allocated based on the weighted average daily balance a participant's fund maintains
in the Pool. Earnings will be calculated on a 360 day basis. Earnings and fees will be calculated
by the 2nd business day of the following month. The monthly interest rate used for Pool
distributions will be calculated using earnings of the Pool on an accrual basis as well as gains or
losses from the sale of investment instruments.
Administrative fees.
Pool participants will be charged an investment fee based on RCW 36.29.024. The rate is
determined based on the actual costs of running the pool.
The average periodic investment fee is currently 6.5 basis points (.065%) on an annualized
basis, and will be based on the daily principal balance maintained in the pool by the participants.
The rate may fluctuate due to the actual average principal balances being maintained in the
pool differing from projected balances
Rebate.
At the end of the Fiscal year, the Snohomish County Investment Pool will prepare a final
accounting for pool expenses. The participants will be rebated administrative fees that are in
excess of operational requirements. The proportionate share of the rebate is based on the
participant's average daily balance for the fiscal year in which the rebate was posted.
Renortina reauirements.
Snohomish County will provide to the participants a monthly Pool statement that will show the
average cash balance maintained by the Fund, the Pool earnings rate, the Fund's earnings, and
the fees paid.
Instructions to participate in the Pool

Large deposits and withdrawals.
To allow the investment officer to manage cash flows, the following are guidelines for investing
and selling large sums of money
1. SCIP participants will notify the Treasurer's Office 10 business days in advance if a
disbursement exceeding $10 million is to be made.
2. Participation in the investment pool should be considered a long-term commitment.

such actions may negatively impact other participants in the pool, hence, withdrawals
from the pool are to be made only for planned operating and capital expenditures.

Treasurer's Office a significant changes of the investment balance maintained in each
fund on a quarterly basis.

bond proceeds. This allows the Treasurer to enhance returns while maintaining sufficient
liquidity for all pool participants.
Closing a SCIP account.
Participants will not use the Snohomish County Investment Pool for speculative purposes. For
this reason, once a fund is removed from the SCIP (other than for operating expenses), it
Packet Page 203 of 488
cannot be reinvested in this pool without approval of the County Treasurer. In no case will the
removal and reinstatement be approved if such actions negatively impact other participants.
SCIP participants must give written notice to withdraw completely from the pool.
1. For accounts of $5,000,000 or less, Participants must notify the County's Investment
Officer in writing of intent to close account at least 10 business days in advance.

Subject Title
Bond Counsel Contract for Edmonds Center for the Arts Contract
Recommendation
8. E.
This request asks the Council to authorize the City Attorney to agree to waive any potential conflict of interest pertaining to the
Bond Counsel's occasional representation of the Edmonds PFD and the Edmonds Center for the Arts on unrelated matters.
Once that authorization has occurred, City staff will move forward with a contract and will return to the Council with a
proposed Interlocal modification agreement that addresses the strategies and issues summarized above.
I am asking that the Council discuss this issue and vote on the contract with the Special Counsel at the next Council meeting
on September 17th.
Previous Council Action
Narrative
Agreement Background:
• The Edmonds City Council formed the Edmonds Public Facilities District (PFD) on April 24, 2001. The PFD was created
under the authority provided by the legislature during the 1999 State legislative session since codified as RCW 35.57.
• The purpose of the PFD was/is to own, construct, remodel, maintain and operate a regional center in the City of Edmonds.
• The Edmonds Center for the Arts is a regional center as defined under RCW 35.57.020.
• Since the creation of the Edmonds PFD, over a decade ago, the Edmonds Center for the Arts has established itself as a
multipurpose regional and community facility with an emphasis on the operation of a center for the performing arts.
• The City of Edmonds entered into a credit support agreement with the Edmonds Public Facilities District (PFD) in 2008.
• The City agreed to lend money to the PFD to assist the PFD in making payments on its bonds, if needed. A process was
agreed upon for the Edmonds PFD to request that support.
• The PFD agreed to pay interest on the outstanding loans referenced above.
• A copy of the full agreement is attached.
• The amount due to the City from the PFD including interest at December 31, 2012 was $555,631.
• In addition, the City has appropriated a possible loan to the PFD in the amount of up to $190 thousand for 2013, if needed.
• Unless paid earlier, all loans referenced in the Interlocal Agreement shall mature on December 31 of the year of expiration
of the District's authority to impose the Sales Tax, but not earlier than 2026. Any portions of these loans not repaid at that
time, shall convert to an ownership interest in the Edmonds Center for the Arts by the City.
• The City has a critical interest in the ongoing success of the facility. The Edmonds Center for the Arts has a significant
economic impact on the Edmonds community, makes Edmonds an attractive place to live, conduct business and visit, and
enriches the quality of life within Edmonds.
Issue:
• While the Edmonds Center for the Arts builds its programs and relationships with the community, current revenue streams
have not been large enough to set aside dollars for existing needed and future capital improvements or contingency reserves let
alone repaying the principal and interest owed to the City.
• The short term debt hurts the financial position of the PFD. Fundraising for the Center is impacted by concerns that
contributions might have to be used to pay back the City.
Packet Page 206 of 488
• The City needs to protect its investments in the facility while at the same time ensuring that the region and community benefit
by the continued long term operation of the facility.
• At the time of the Interlocal agreement, it was perceived that an outstanding loan for the amounts transferred was the best
way to assure that at some point in the future that the facility was not transferred to a use not beneficial to the public before the
City was reimbursed for its investment.
Possible Alternative Approach:
• As an alternative to operating all programs that provide services and benefits to the public, the federal and state government
award grants with certain limitations to entities that provide services or functions that support the mission that the legislative
branch endorses.
• Utilizing such an approach, the City could continue its relationship with the PFD and continue to provide financial support
based upon the City's decisions and the PFD's needs.
• The PFD would thusly be able to focus its fundraising efforts on improving its financial position, maintaining and improving
its physical plan, and on improving the quality and amount of programs it offers to the community.
• Under this scenario, the grant agreement could include language that requires repayment to the City of principal and
retroactive interest calculated, if the PFD were to utilize the property for a purpose to which the City did not agree. Such an
approach could have other defined expectations over a specified period.
Recommended Strategy
This proposal would involve the preparation and negotiation of a grant agreement between the City and the PFD. The grant
agreement would provide funds to the PFD in 2013 sufficient to repay the City for all amounts that have been previously
loaned to the PFD (or requested for the remainder of 2013) under the Contingent Loan Agreement in support of the debt
issued by the PFD for the development of the Edmonds Center for the Arts. This amount would be granted to the PFD, on the
condition that it be used immediately to repay and discharge those loans.
The grant agreement would also require the PFD comply with certain additional grant conditions that would run for 50 years,
including (among other covenants) that the facility not be sold and that the PFD continue to operate it as a multi -use regional
facility and arts center (or, upon consent of the City, similar public use). The agreement would provide that if the PFD should
breach these covenants, the amounts granted would convert to loans that would need to be repaid either in cash or by transfer of
a commensurate ownership interest in the facility.
The agreement would be structured to provide flexibility for additional future grants to the PFD, as necessary and as provided
for by future City Councils in their adopted budgets, on the same conditions as the initial grant amount, unless otherwise
approved by the Edmonds City Council. The Finance Department anticipates that the first such supplemental grant request
would be considered by the Council in preparation of the City's 2014 budget.
Our Bond Counsel served as bond counsel to the Edmonds PFD in connection with the issuance of their 2008 bonds that were
guaranteed by the City. In addition, we from time to time answer other legal questions for the Edmonds PFD and for the
Edmonds Center for the Arts Board. To avoid a conflict of interest, our bond counsel would request that the PFD seek other
counsel to represent it in reviewing and negotiating this agreement and have further requested conflict waivers from both
parties. Our Bond Counsel has asked the City to agree to waive any potential conflict of interest pertaining to the Bond
Counsel's occasional representation of the Edmonds PFD and the Edmonds Center for the Arts on unrelated matters.
Cost of Strategy:
• The cost for City Bond Counsel contract drafting services would be less than $7,500. (The Bond Counsel could be utilized in
providing additional related services not to exceed an addition $2,500).
• Repayment of the loan would not occur.
Benefits of Strategy:
• The PFD's funding raising effectiveness would be enhanced as community and other contributors or grantors are informed
that contributions will not be utilized to repay a City loan.
• The agreement extends the horizon for the operations of the Edmonds Center for the Arts for 50 years from the date of the
proposed agreement — 37 years beyond the current commitment.
• Restaurants and other parts of the City's and Region's economy that benefit from the Center for the Arts would continue to
benefit from the ongoing operation of the ECA.
• The City's primary objective — the ongoing use of this regional facility for the public and for cultural enhancement of
Edmonds — will be served with a long-term commitment from the PFD.
• The remedy of reimbursement if the Edmonds Center of the Arts changes its mission or is sold without City authorization is
preserved.

times and in the amounts set forth in Section 3.2. The District shall borrow the amounts
described above from the City pursuant to this Agreement for the purpose of paying debt
service on the Bonds. The City irrevocably agrees to disburse all loans made hereunder
directly to the District, and the District irrevocably agrees to immediately apply all such
amounts received by it for the purpose of meeting its obligations under the Bonds. The

Agreement shall not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds, plus all interest
accrued on the Bonds.
Section 3.2 Procedures Under Guarantee,• Time and Amount of Loans.
(1) Notice of Insufficiency. On the I" day of the month preceding each Debt Service
Payment Date (or if the lst is not a Business Day, then on the next Business Day), the District
shall review the amount on deposit in the Debt Service Fund to determine whether there will be
sufficient money available in the Debt Service Fund to make the required payment due on the
upcoming Debt Service Payment Date. If, upon such review, it appears that the money
available in the Debt Service Fund will be insufficient to make that payment, the District shall
provide the City a notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a "Notice of
Insufficiency") within five days after the date on which the review was required. Failure of the
District to give a Notice of Insufficiency to the City shall not relieve the City of its obligation to
make loans upon demand by the District under subsection (4) of this section.
(2) Budgeting for Loans. Upon receipt of a Notice of Insufficiency from the District,
the City shall, to the extent necessary, include in its budget the amounts required to make the
loans described in subsection (4) of this section. If the need to budget for such loans was not
reasonably foreseeable at the time the City prepared its biennial budget, the City shall budget
for such loans under Title 35A RCW and the Edmonds Municipal Code in sufficient time to
provide for the loans described in subsection (4).
(3) Cancellation Notices. If, at any time before 10 a.m. (Pacific time) on the 24th day of

Fund to make the required payment due on the upcoming Debt Service Payment Date, the
District shall provide, prior to 5 p.m. on the same day, a notice to the City in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a "Cancellation Notice"). Delivery of a Cancellation Notice
50958661 ] I -3--
Packet Page 213 of 488
by the District to the City shall not relieve the City of its obligations to make loans upon
demand by the District under subsection (4) of this section.
(4) Loans. For as long as any Bonds remain outstanding, the City shall, no later than 10
a.m. on the business day preceding that Debt Service Payment Date, lend to the District an

determining whether sufficient money will be available in the Debt Service Fund on any Debt
Service Payment Date, the parties may assume that the City will make payments to the District

expressly modified by this Agreement.
Section 3_3 Covenants Regarding Debt Limit and Additional Bonds.
(1) The District does not intend to submit this Agreement or any indebtedness created
hereunder to qualified electors of the District for approval. Under RCW 35.57.030 and existing
laws, the District may incur non -voted indebtedness in an aggregate amount equal to one-half
of one percent of the value of the taxable property within the District. In light of the foregoing,
and to comply with RCW 67.28.130, the District agrees not to incur additional indebtedness
after the Bonds are issued unless prior written approval is obtained in accordance with Section
8.7 of this Agreement and Section 19 of the Bond Resolution.
(2) In the event the District lacks sufficient non -voted debt capacity to incur
indebtedness resulting from a loan from the City in the amount determined under Section 3.2,
the District shall incur indebtedness for an amount equal to the District's remaining non -voted
debt capacity, if any, and any loan amount greater than the District's then -remaining non -voted
debt capacity shall be deemed an equity payment by the City to the District in exchange for an
interest in the Regional Center, which need not be repaid pursuant to Section 3.4. Within 60
days after any such equity payment by the City, the District shall deliver to the City a quitclaim
deed conveying to the City a tenancy -in -common interest in the Regional Center. Such interest
shall be a percentage ownership interest in the Regional Center, the numerator of which shall
be the sum such equity payment and the costs of transferring title and recording such quitclaim
deed, and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate original principal amounts of. (a) the
Bonds, (b) all bonds issued by the City to finance the Regional Center, and (c) any other bonds
M8661 11 --4--
Packet Page 214 of 488
issued by the District to finance the Regional Center (excluding the Prior Note and any bonds,
or any portion thereof, issued to refinance bonds issued by the City or the District to finance the
Regional Center).
(3) The City will reconvey to the District, by means of a quitclaim deed, all of the
City's interest in the Regional Center acquired pursuant to subsection (2) of this Section if the
District pays to the City an amount equal to the sum of:
(a) all payments made by the City to the District in exchange for an
interest being reconveyed to the District; plus
(b) all costs incurred by the City relating to the transfer of title and
recording of deed(s); plus
(c) interest on the sum of the amounts described by clauses (a) and (b),
calculated from the date(s) of the City's payment thereof, plus
(d) the costs of transferring title to the District and recording such
quitclaim deed.
The rate of interest to be used for purposes of this calculation shall be the rate described in
Section 3.4(2).
(4) The transfers of interest authorized by this Section are intended to reflect the joint
and cooperative nature of the financing of the Regional Center pursuant to chapters 35.57,
35.59 and 67.28 RCW.
Section 3_4 Repayment Terms.
(1) Repayment Terms. The principal amount of each loan to the District hereunder,
together with interest thereon calculated as set forth in subsection (2) of this section, shall be
repaid by the District from available Sales Tax Revenue and General Revenue during each
calendar year after (a) the Debt Service Fund has been fully funded for such calendar year and
(b) reasonable provision has been made for the operating expenses of the Regional Center.
Such payments will be applied first to costs owed to the City, second, to interest owed to the
City on account of outstanding loans made under this Agreement and third to the principal of
all outstanding loans made under this Agreement in the order in which such loans were made.
(2) Interest Rate. Each loan made under the terms of this Agreement will bear interest
from the date of the loan until the date such loan is repaid. Interest on the loans will be
calculated on the basis of a 3651366-day year, for the actual number of days elapsed. The rate
of interest borne by each loan hereunder shall be a variable rate equal to the monthly average
rate of return on the State of Washington Local Government Investment Pool (or its successor),
as determined as of the last day of each month in which a loan is outstanding, and shall change
monthly as of the first day of each month in which a loan is outstanding. The City may in its
discretion charge a lower rate of interest. Absent manifest error, all calculations of the City
Administrative Services Director shall be binding upon the District.

Packet Page 215 of 488
(3) Maturity. Unless paid earlier pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, all loans
hereunder shall mature on December 31 of the year of expiration of the District's authority to
impose the Sales Tax under RCW 82.14,390, as it may be amended from time to time, but not
earlier than 2026, which is the year that is twenty-five years after the tax was first collected. If
any loan has not been repaid under this Agreement on the loan maturity date described in this
Section 3.4(3), the City shall acquire an ownership interest in the Regional Center equal to the
unpaid principal and interest due to the City on that loan maturity date, and the District shall
execute and deliver a quitclaim deed and such other documents as may be necessary to convey
this interest to the City as described in Section 3.3, and the District's obligation to repay the
loan under this Agreement shall be discharged.
Section 3_5 Nature of District's Obligation. The District's obligation to make the
loan repayments to the City from the sources identified herein and to perform and observe the
other obligations on its part contained herein shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not
be subject to diminution by setoff, counterclaim, abatement or otherwise. The full faith, credit
and resources of the District are hereby pledged for the payment of all amounts owed to the
City under this Agreement. The District's obligations under this Agreement shall continue in
effect and shall survive the satisfaction of the District's obligations under the Bonds and the
Bond Resolution until such time as principal and interest due to the City pursuant to any loan or
loans made hereunder have been repaid, together with any costs owed to the City pursuant to
Section 6.5 and Article 7. To further its ability to make such payments to the City, the District
hereby irrevocably covenants and agrees to continue imposing the Sales Tax as permitted under
RCW 82.14.390 for so long as the Bonds remains outstanding or any District obligation to pay
any amount to the City under this Agreement remains outstanding.
Section 336 Nature of City's Obligation. The City's obligation to advance funds to
the District in the amounts, at the times, under the conditions and in the manner described
herein shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be subject to diminution by setoff,
counterclaim, abatement or otherwise. The full faith, credit and resources of the City are
pledged irrevocably to make the loans, in the amounts, at the times, in the manner and subject
to the limitations described herein, regardless of whether the Regional Center is operating at
any particular time. The obligations of the City hereunder shall terminate upon payment in full
of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. For each fiscal year during the term of this
Agreement, the City agrees that it will include in its budget and appropriate an amount that the
City reasonably expects to be necessary to fulfill its obligation to make loans to the District
under the terms of this Agreement. Failure to so budget shall not be a default under this
Agreement if the City fulfills its obligation to make loans to the District as required under this
Article III.
Section 3_7 City Acknowledgments. The City acknowledges and agrees that the
District will pledge to the payment of the Bonds: (a) the loan proceeds it receives under this
Agreement; (b) the Sales Tax Revenues, junior to the lien granted in connection with the City's
Limited Tax General and Revenue Obligation Bonds, 2002; and (c) the District's General
Revenue.

ARTICLE 4.
Rights of City Upon Making Loans

this Agreement and such loans have not been repaid in full (whether or not the loan is in
default), the City may take any one or more of the following steps:
(1) The City may have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of the books
and records and any and all accounts and data of the District; and
(2) With the consent of the parties to the County PFD Agreement, the City may, but

in addition to all the rights and powers customarily given to and exercised by receivers, all
rights of the District to manage, operate and maintain the Regional Center and shall have all
other rights of the District to exercise its rights and powers in the same manner and to the same
extent that the District could do, including without limitation the execution, enforcement and
termination of contracts providing for management or maintenance of the Regional Center, all
on such terms as are deemed best by the City to protect its interests under this Agreement. The
City, or the manager or receiver appointed by the City, shall be entitled to receive a reasonable
fee for managing the Regional Center. The City shall not enter into an agreement with a
manager unless it receives written confirmation from nationally recognized bond counsel that
the agreement will not adversely affect the tax-exempt nature of interest on the Bonds for
federal income tax purposes.

expectations for the following four quarters.

impair the security of the Bonds and any Additional Bonds.
(4) Enforcement of Obligations. The District shall take all reasonable measures
permitted by law to enforce payment to it of all Sales Tax Revenue, including without
limitation any payments due to it under the County PFD Agreement, and shall at all times, to
the extent permitted by law, defend, preserve and protect the rights, benefits and privileges of
the District and of the Registered Owners under or with respect to the Bond Resolution.
(5) Ownership, Sale, Transfer or Disposition of the Regional Center. The District shall
be the owner of the Regional Center except to the extent the City acquires any interest therein

Regional Center or is no longer necessary, material or useful to the operation of
the Regional Center; or
(b) The District in its discretion may transfer facilities or property if the
District receives from the transferee in a bona fide, arm's length transaction an
amount equal to the fair market value of the facilities or property so transferred.
As used herein, "fair market value" means the most probable price that a
property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions
50958661 11 -8-
Packet Page 218 of 488
requisite to a fair sale, the willing buyer and willing seller each acting prudently
and knowledgeably. The proceeds of any transfer under this subparagraph (ii)
shall be used (1) to promptly redeem, or irrevocably set aside for the redemption
of, the District's outstanding Bonds or Additional Bonds, and/or (2) to provide
for all or park of the cost of capital improvements and/or additions to or
expansions of the Regional Center.
Nothing in the foregoing is intended to restrict the transfer of the facilities or property to the
City pursuant to the County PFD Agreement or to permit transfers not permitted under the
County PFD Agreement.

Re: Engagement Letter & Conflict Waiver
Dear Roger:
Hugh and I very much enjoyed our meeting last week to discuss preparation of a grant agreement between
the City and the Edmonds Public Facilities District. This letter is provided in order to document our
engagement by the City to prepare this agreement between the City and the PFD and to document the
waiver of any conflict of interest that may be present because of our firm's representation from time to
time of the PFD.
Summary, Scope of Services & Fees
Based on our discussion with you and your staff, we understand that the work would involve the
preparation and negotiation of a grant agreement between the City and the PFD. This grant agreement
would provide funds to the PFD in 2013 sufficient to repay the City for all amounts that have been
previously loaned to the PFD (or requested for the remainder of 2013) under the Contingent Loan
Agreement in support of the debt issued by the PFD for the development of the Edmonds Center for the
Arts. This amount would be granted to the PFD, on the condition that it be used immediately to repay and
discharge those loans. The grant agreement would also require the PFD to comply with certain additional
grant conditions that would run for 50 years, including (among other covenants) that the facility not be
sold and that the PFD continue to operate it as a performing arts center (or, upon consent of the City,
similar public use). The agreement would provide that if the PFD should breach these covenants, the
amounts granted would convert to loans that would need to be repaid either in cash or by transfer of a
commensurate ownership interest in the facility. The agreement would be structured to provide flexibility
for additional future grants to the PFD, as necessary and as provided for by future City Councils in their
adopted budgets, on the same conditions as the initial grant amount. We understand that the Finance
Department anticipates that the first such supplemental grant request would be considered by the Council
in preparation of the City's 2014 budget.
For this project, we would propose to charge the City on an hourly basis for the time incurred in preparing
and negotiating the grant agreement. We anticipate at the outset that it should take approximately 10
hours of work, though this expectation is based on the assumption that this is in the City's and the PFD's
interest and the negotiations with the PFD will be relatively straightforward. Our expectations would be
adjusted if things were to become more complex. I have enclosed with this letter an Agreement for
Special Counsel Services that describes the scope of our services and fees, based on prior agreements
between us and the City. The lawyers primarily involved will be Hugh Spitzer and Alice Ostdiek, as set
forth in that agreement.
Packet Page 227 of 488
City of Edmonds — Conflict Waiver Edmonds PFD
August 22, 2013
Page 2 of 2
Conflicts of Interest
As you know, the Washington Rules of Professional Conduct prohibit an attorney and all members of that
attorney's firm from representing a client in a matter that is adverse to the interests of another client of the
firm. As the City is also aware, we served as bond counsel to the Edmonds PFD in connection with the
issuance of their 2008 bonds that were guaranteed by the City. In addition, we from time to time answer
other legal questions for the Edmonds PFD and for the Edmonds Center for the Arts nonprofit
organization.
Therefore, in order to proceed with this matter, we would request that the PFD seek other counsel to
represent it in reviewing and negotiating this agreement and have further requested conflict waivers from
both parties. The Rules of Professional Conduct allow clients to waive conflicts of interest when: (a) the
lawyer reasonably believes the representation of one client will not adversely affect the relationship with
the other client, and (b) all clients consent in writing after full disclosure of all the material facts. We have
considered the conflict presented here and believe that it would be appropriate to ask for waivers of the
conflict in this instance.
The primary risk associated with waivers of conflicts of interest in circumstances like this is the risk of
confidential information of one client being disclosed to the other client, to the disadvantage of the first
client. We do not believe that in the course of this work we would come into possession of any
confidential information relating to our representation of either party that would present this risk. A
second risk associated with a waiver of conflict of interest is the risk that lawyers will not zealously
represent their clients out of fear of offending their other clients. Again, we would not represent the PFD
in connection with this agreement and do not believe that this risk is present, particularly given that the
nature of the transaction is to provide assistance to the PFD.
By signing this conflict waiver letter, the City agrees to waive any potential conflict of interest pertaining
to our occasional representation of the Edmonds PFD and the Edmonds Center for the Arts on unrelated
matters. If you have any questions regarding this waiver, please do not hesitate to contact us, or to seek
additional legal counsel.
If the terms of this engagement and conflict of waiver are acceptable to the City, please execute and
return a duplicate original of this letter and the enclosed Agreement for Special Counsel Services,
retaining the duplicate original for City files. We are glad to continue to be of service to the City of
Edmonds.
Sincerely,

FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION OF the terms and conditions set forth below, the

I. Services to be Provided. Attorneys will serve as special counsel to the City for
the purpose of drafting documents in connection with a potential agreement relating to financial
assistance to the Edmonds Public Facilities District and for such other special counsel matters as

Services. This contract for services is separate and distinct from services provided by the
Attorneys as the City's bond counsel and their role in connection with any current or future bond
issuance.
2. Payment for Services. Legal services performed under this Agreement shall be
compensated at the rates set forth in the attached Exhibit A for 2013, which shall be subject to
adjustment if the term of this contract is extended beyond the initial term. The City will not be
charged separately for normal secretarial or clerical work, the expense for which has been
incorporated into the Attorney's hourly rate. Reimbursement will be made by the City for
expenditures for court costs and fees, copying, postage, and computer aided legal research, when
made on behalf of the City, and for travel or long distance telephone calls outside of the
metropolitan Seattle area when required on City business.
3. Term/Fees/Termination.

support of the work specified, the Director of Finance and Administrative Services may
authorize up to an additional $2,500 for a total not to exceed the amount of $10,000.
3.3 Termination of Agreement. The attorney/client relationship is a personal
one involving the ability of the parties to communicate and maintain credibility. Therefore, the
City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement upon reasonable notice during its term. The
Attorneys agree that they will not terminate the Agreement without providing for a reasonable
period of transition mutually agreed upon by the parties.
4. Designation and Approval of Principal Service Providers. At the date of
execution of this Agreement, it has been the representation of the Attorneys that legal services to
the City will be provided principally by or under the supervision of Hugh Spitzer and Alice
Packet Page 229 of 488
Ostdiek. The parties recognize that services may be provided by others in the firm based upon
their expertise and the need to provide services at appropriate billing rates by junior and senior
attorneys, paralegals and legal assistants within the firm in order to achieve the most cost
effective provision of legal services. The Director of Finance and Administrative Services of the
City reserves the right to review and approve each attorney providing service to the City.
5. Ownership of Work Product. All data, materials, reports, memoranda, and any
other documents developed under this Agreement whether finished or not shall become the
property of the City, shall be forwarded to the City at its request and may be used by the City as

other than those intended in this Agreement, City does so at City's sole risk and agrees to hold
the Attorneys harmless for such use.

in the minimum amount of $10,000,000.

sensory handicap, except where a bona fide occupational qualification exists.
8. Hold Harmless. Attorneys agree to indemnify the City, its elected and appointed
officials, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, judgments or awards of
damages, arising out of or resulting from the acts, errors or omissions of Attorneys. The City
agrees to indemnify Attorneys from and against any and all claims, judgments or awards of
damages, arising out of or resulting from the acts, errors, or omissions of the City, its elected and

term of this Agreement independent contractors and shall indemnify and hold harmless the City
from all costs associated with the wages and benefits of the Attorney's employees.

Agreement will be performed in accordance with the Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys
established by the Washington Supreme Court.
11. Work for Other Clients. Attorneys may provide services for clients other than the
City during the term of this Agreement, but will not do so where the same may constitute a
conflict of interest unless the City, after full disclosure of the potential or actual conflict,
consents in writing to the representation. Any potential conflicts shall be handled in accordance
with the Rules of Professional Conduct referred to above.

Subject Title
Introduction to the Capital Facilities Plan (2014-2019) and the Capital Improvement Program (2014-2019).
G
Recommendation
Review the Drafts of the Capital Facilities Plan and Capital Improvement Program and provide comments and feedback.
Previous Council Action
None.
Narrative
The City's Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) Element is a document updated annually and identifies capital projects for at least the
next six years which support the City's Comprehensive Plan. The CFP contains a list of projects that need to be expanded or
will be new capital facilities in order to accommodate the City's projected population growth in accordance with the Growth
Management Act. Capital projects that preserve existing capital facilities are not included in the CFP. These preservation
projects are identified within the six -year capital improvement program (CIP) along with capital facility plan projects which
encompass the projected expenditure needs for all city capital related projects.
CIP vs. CFP
The CFP and CIP are not the same thing; they arise from different purposes and are in response to different needs. While the
CIP is a budgeting tool that includes capital and maintenance projects, tying those projects to the various City funds and
revenues, the CFP is intended to identify longer term capital needs (not maintenance) and be tied to City levels of service
standards. The CFP is also required to be consistent with the other elements (transportation, parks, etc) of the Comprehensive
Plan, and there are restrictions as to how often a CFP can be amended. There are no such restrictions tied to the CIP.
The draft 2014-2019 CFP is attached as Exhibit 1. The CFP has three project sections comprised of General, Transportation
and Stormwater. The draft 2014-2019 CIP is attached as Exhibit 2. The CIP has two sections related to general and parks
projects and each project list is organized by the City's financial fund numbers.
The CFP and CIP will be presented to the full City Council on September 24, 2013. Public hearings are also scheduled for the
Planning Board on September 25, 2013 and the City Council on November 4, 2013.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The intersection of 84 th Ave and 212 th is 5 legged, which also
includes Main Street and Bowdoin Way approaches. The intersection is stop -controlled for all
approaches. A roundabout would be constructed and yield signs placed at each approach.
Installation will require the acquisition of right of way adjacent to the intersection. (ROADWAY
ROJECT PRIORITY in 2009 Transportation Plan: #6).
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: The intersection currently functions at LOS F and delays
during the PM peak hour will worsen over time. A roundabout will improve the LOS and reduce
the need for vehicles to stop during low volume periods, improving the LOS to B.
SCHEDULE: A federal grant was secured to fund all project phases. Construction is
scheduled to begin in 2014.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Install traffic signal at the intersection of 196t St. SW @ 88t Ave.
W. The modeling in the 2009 Transportation Plan indicated that restricting northbound and
southbound traffic to right -turn -only (prohibiting left -turn and through movements) would also
address the deficiency identified at this location through 2025. This is same alternative as one
concluded by consultant in 2007 study but not recommended by City Council. This could be
implemented as an alternate solution, or as an interim solution until traffic signal warrants are
met. The ex. LOS is F (below City Standards: LOS D). (ROADWAY ROJECT PRIORITY in
2009 Transportation Plan: #8).
PROJECT BENEFIT/RATIONALE: Improve traffic flow characteristics and safety at the
intersection. The improvement would modify LOS to A, but increase the delay along 196t" St.
SW.
SCHEDULE: Engineering scheduled for 2017 — 2018 and construction in 2019 (must meet an
MUTCD traffic signal warrant and get WSDOT approval such 196t" St. SW is a State Route /
unsecured funding).

Previously restored section of Willow Creek. Source:
www.unocaledmonds.info/clean-up/_ag llery.php
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Build on the feasibility study completed in 2013 that assessed the feasibility
of day lighting the Willow Creek channel. The final project may include 23 acres of revegetation,
construct new tide gate to allow better connectivity to the Puget Sound, removal of sediment, 1,100
linear ft of new creek channel lined with an impermeable membrane. Funds will be used for study and
construction but exact breakdown cannot be assessed at this time.
PROJECT BENEFIT/RATIONALE: The daylight of willow creek will help reverse the negative impacts
to Willow Creek and Edmonds Marsh that occurred when Willow Creek was piped. It will also help
eliminate the sedimentation of the marsh and the transition to freshwater species and provide habitat for
salmonids, including rearing of juvenile Chinook.

PROJECT NAME: Perrinville Creek High Flow ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $6,500,000
Reduction/Management Project— SSWCP'
Project 15
Perrinville Creek Channel illustrating the channel incision that
will be addressed by restoration.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A flow reduction study began in 2013 that will develop alternatives
to implement in the basin. Projects are expected to begin the design and/or construction
phases in 2014. It is expected that this project will be implemented with the City of Lynnwood
(half the Perrinville basin is in Lynnwood) and Snohomish County (owner of the South County
Park). Projects will likely be a combination of detention, infiltration, and stream bank
stabilization. A $188,722 grant from the Department of Ecology is contributing funds to the
2013-2014 Study.
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: Urbanization of the Perrinville Creek Basin has increased
flows in the creek, incision of the creek, and sedimentation in the low -gradient downstream
reaches of the creek. Before any habitat improvements can be implemented, the flows must be
controlled or these improvements will be washed away.

PROJECT NAME: City Park Revitalization ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $1,400,000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Revitalize City Park play area with new play equipment and addition
of a spray park amenity to be used in the summer. Spray parks have become very popular in
many communities as replacements for wading pools that are no longer acceptable to increased
health department regulations. These installations create no standing water and therefore require
little maintenance and no lifeguard costs. Staff will seek voluntary donations for construction
costs.
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: This project combines two play areas and the completion of
the master plan from 1992. This is very competitive for State grant funding, as it will be using a
repurposing water system. This will be a much valued revitalization and addition to the City's
oldest and most cherished park.

PROJECT NAME: 4" Avenue ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $5,675,000
Corridor Enhancement
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Begin 4 th Avenue site development with temporary and/or moveable
surface elements and amenities to begin drawing attention and interest to the corridor and create
stronger visual connection between Main Street and the Edmonds Center for the Arts. Possible
projects may include surface art, interpretive signage and wayfinding, or low level lighting. The
Cultural Heritage Walking Tour project, funded in part with a matching grant from the National Park
Service Preserve America grant program, will be implemented in 2011-12.
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: The corridor improvements in the public right of way will
encourage pedestrian traffic & provide a strong visual connection along 4th Ave. Improvements will
enhance connectivity as an attractive walking corridor & contribute to the economic vitality in the
downtown by encouraging the flow of visitors between the downtown retail & the Edmonds Center for
the Arts. Timing for 30% design phase is crucial as the City addresses utility projects in the area & will
assist the City in the process of identifying & acquiring funding sources for the total project
implementation phase.

PROJECT NAME: City Park Revitalization ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $1,335,000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Revitalize City Park play area with new play equipment and addition
of a spray park amenity to be used in the summer. Spray parks have become very popular in
many communities as replacements for wading pools that are no longer acceptable to increased
health department regulations. These installations create no standing water and therefore require
little maintenance and no lifeguard costs. Staff will seek voluntary donations for construction
costs.
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: This project combines two play areas and the completion of
the master plan from 1992. This is very competitive for State grant funding, as it will be using a
repurposing water system. This will be a much valued revitalization and addition to the City's
oldest and most cherished park.

Subject Title
Authorization for Mayor to sign Supplemental Agreement #4 with David Evans & Associates for the 76th Ave. W @ 212th St.
SW Intersection Improvements project.
Recommendation
Forward the item to the consent agenda for approval at the September 17, 2013 City Council meeting.
Previous Council Action
On August 14, 2012, City Council authorized the Mayor to sign Supplemental Agreement #2 with David Evans & Associates
for the 76th Ave. W @ 212th St. SW Intersection Improvement project.
Narrative
76th Avenue W @ 212th St. SW is one of the busiest signalized intersections in the City and is served by two federally
classified minor arterial streets. The intersection experiences long queues during peak commute and school hours due to the
limited capacity of the intersection. Both approaches of 76th Avenue have two shared lanes (w/ no dedicated left turn lane)
and the left turn volumes are very high, and are timed independently by split phasing signal timing. The proposed
improvement will provide dedicated left turn lanes on 76th Avenue and concurrent turning movements during the protected
left turn phase. This project will increase the capacity and improve intersection signal operation, traffic flow, vehicle delay,
and air quality by reducing vehicle emissions.
The supplement adds the following design tasks:
• Stormwater facilities with the addition of flow control and water quality system (based on recommendation from the
Stormwater Evaluation Report);
• Sanitary sewer line: the existing 8-inch diameter pipeline on 76th Ave. W is in poor condition and needs replacement;
• Waterline: the existing 8-inch diameter watermain on 76th Ave. W will be replaced with a 12-inch diameter watermain,
to increase capacity; and
• Completion of right of way acquisition phase: right of way is needed from seven parcels along the project limits. The
sub -consultant (Universal Field Services) is providing right-of-way acquisition assistance for this project. The
scope of work will consist of completing exhibits, legal descriptions, survey staking, appraisal / appraisal review,
negotiations with property owners, parcel closeout, and right-of-way certification.
A federal grant (through Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality program) for $940,397 was secured to begin the design and
right of way (ROW) phases. The grant requires a local match of 13.5% ($146,700) and this amount is funded by the Street
Fund 112. The design fee for Supplement 44 is $146,179 and will be funded by different City Funds (Fund 112 and Utility
funds) and the CMAQ grant. The supplement also restores the $22,000 management reserve that was used in Supplement No.
3 to pay for a storm drainage report and right of way project funding estimate. The utility improvements (water, stormwater,
and sewer) incorporated into this supplement are funded by the respective utility funds (Fund 421, 422, and 423).
The design and ROW phases are scheduled for completion in 2015. No funding source is currently secured for the construction
phase, but the completion of the design and right of way phases will help the project score well on future grant applications for
construction funding.

The project primarily consists of business use properties. Based on preliminary schematic drawings and
exhibits, it is assumed up to seven (7) separate tax parcels will require partial fee simple (strip) acquisitions,
temporary construction easements, and driveway reconstruction permits. One of the impacted parcels is a
commercial condominium. See Table A below.
A Project Funding Estimate (PFE) has been completed by UFS under a separate scope of work. This scope
of worl< provides for the completion of all remaining right of way activities including preparation of a
Relocation Plan, Appraisals, Appraisal Reviews, Acquisition Negotiations, Relocation Assistance, and Right of
Way Certification services
This scope of worl< is based on the following:
1.) Recent tour of the project limits and input from DEA staff
2.) Review of limited public on-line information (mapping / ownership information)
3.) Review of schematic drawing and exhibits — Final Right of Way plans not available
Sub -Task Work Elements:

revisions effecting acquisition areas, etc. PFE updates will require an amendment to this scope of work
and related fee estimate. The PFE will be completed by the project Appraiser.
Deliverables:
• NIA - Completed under separate scope of work.
E. Relocation Plan -- It is assumed there are no "displaced persons" (residential occupants, businesses or
personal property) displaced as a result of this project. Therefore, a relocation plan per WSDOT &
Federal guidelines is not required.
Deliverable:
• Not Applicable
F. FHWA Funds Authorization for ROW — Shortly after the Right of Way Plans, the PFE, and
Relocation Plan have been submitted to WSDOT and assuming NEPA clearance has been obtained, the
CITY would typically receive a letter from FHWA through WSDOT Highways and Local Programs

Subject Title
Continued discussion on developing a decision tree for Harbor Square deliberations.
Recommendation
Continue review of decision tree for Harbor Square key issues.
Previous Council Action
9. D.
The City Council has been discussing the Harbor Square Master Plan over a number of meetings dating back to November 20,
2012. At the August 6, 2013 Council Meeting the Council voted to develop a decision tree for deliberating key issues related
to a Harbor Square Master Plan. The PPP Committee discussed ideas for the decision tree at the August 13, 2013 meeting.
Narrative
During review of the Harbor Square Master Plan staff developed an issue matrix (now included as Exhibit 1) based on
comments provided by City Council, the citizenry during the public hearings, and Planning Board recommendations. This
issue table was reviewed during the March 19, March 26 and August 6, 2013 Council meetings (Exhibits 2 - 4). To continue
discussions, the City Council voted to develop a decision tree for the key issues related to a Harbor Square Master Plan and
referred the item to the Planning, Parks and Public Works Committee to work with staff on developing a decision tree.
At the August 13, 2013 PPP Committee meeting, three key issues where identified for incorporation into a decision tree: 1)
Height, 2) Residential Development, and 3) Intensity of Uses (Exhibit 5). Exhibits 6 - 8 are the initial drafts of potential
decision trees for height, residential development and intensity of uses for further discussion with the PPP.
Note: The current "Exhibit 1" is what Council members have been accustomed to referring to as "Exhibit 3" in previous
packets. The content is the same.

Contributing to the day -lighting of Willow Creek and improving the
buffers surrounding the Edmonds Marsh are also highlighted as
potential incentives under the Height and Bulk section on Page 6.
Geological hazard and flooding issues are items that will be dealt with
during project level SEPA review.
Incorporation into City's Comprehensive Plan
The Planning Board recommended that the HSMP be incorporated in
1. Subarea Plan
the City's Comprehensive Plan rather just be incorporated by reference
2. Incorporate full text of HSMP
(PB Recommendation #12). Whether the HSMP is incorporated
3. Incorporate by reference
completely into the Comprehensive Plan or adopted by reference, the
effect is the same in that the HSMP would then be part of the City's
Comprehensive Plan. This can be implemented through the adopting
ordinance.
Treating the HSMP as a subarea plan specifically emphasizes that the
master plan only applies to the Harbor Square property. Additionally,
considering the HSMP as a subarea plan addresses a recommendation
from the Planning Board (PB Recommendation #10) that language from
the City Attorney's memorandum be incorporated into the adoption of
the HSMP.

Packet Page 385 of 488
Planning Board Recommendations:
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.
2. Development proposals should place the tallest buildings
towards the south and west boundaries of the property.
3. Buildings along Dayton Street should be limited to 35 feet in
height.
4. Development plans shall ensure that the Public View Corridor
down Dayton Street is preserved and enhanced.
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."
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.
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".
8. An additional sentence should be added to the "Dayton Street
Frontage" section on page 11 of the Harbor Square Master Plan
to read: "Consideration should be given to enhance street -side
parking to support separating human activity from the traffic
along Dayton Street."
9. On page 11 of the Harbor Square Master Plan under "SR 104
Frontage", "If WSDOT is amendable" should be stricken from
the beginning of the third sentence.
10. The Edmonds City Attorney shall develop language consistent
with the memorandum dated September 6, 2012 to be
incorporated into the City's adoption of the Comprehensive
Questions of have been raised about how the Planning Board's
recommendations will be incorporated in the HSMP. Some of the
recommendations from the Planning Board are no longer applicable
with regard to the revised master plan while other recommendations
have been incorporated. Below is a summary of how the Planning
Board's recommendations have been addressed in the current draft of
the HSMP.
1. The specific building heights in the recommendation are no
longer applicable. The possibility of allowing some additional
height through incentive zoning if certain public amenities are
provided has been incorporated in the HSMP in the Height and
Bulk section on Page 6.
2. With a base height of 35 feet spelled out in the current draft of
the HSMP, this 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. Base height has been limited to 35 feet for the entire site.
4. Language from this condition has been added under the Uses
and Site Planning section on Page 3.
5. As noted above, parking provided at a redeveloped Harbor
Square will have to be consistent with the City's off street
parking regulations as contained in ECDC 17.50. The
standards contained in ECDC 17.50 are intended to ensure that
adequate off street parking is provided for all uses on a
redeveloped Harbor Square. Only a zoning change approved
by Council could alter parking requirements.
6. The base height of 35 feet may only be exceeded if public
benefits and/or amenities are provided (Page 6).
7. The referenced graphic has been removed from the HSMP.
8. Language has been added under the Dayton Street Frontage
Section on Page 7.
9. Wording has been removed under the SR 104 Frontage section
on Page 7.

by the State in accordance with process deadlines existent 2012 agenda item on the HSMP), the City has designated
between the State and the City. specific public view corridors (See page 58 of the
Comprehensive Plan). Protection of the Dayton Street
view corridor is called out under the Use and Site Planning
section on Page 3.
Additionally, language with regard to the Attorney
memorandum could be incorporated in the adopting ordinance.
11. No specific language with regard to multifamily development
has been added. As noted above, residential development in
Harbor Square should not be the principle use, but provide to
enhance and support the mixed use nature of Harbor Square.
Any more specific provisions regarding residential uses would
be the subject of a future rezone approved by Council.
12. See above with regard to incorporating the HSMP.
13. As noted above, setback from the marsh will be determined by
the updated Shoreline Master Program currently under review
by the City Council.
14. The Setbacks and Ecological Enhancements along Edmonds
Marsh section on Page 6 recognizing the HSMP must comply
with the HSMP.

MONILLAS, BUCKSHNIS, PETERSON AND JOHNSON VOTING YES; AND COUNCIL
PRESIDENT PETSO AND COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM VOTING NO.
6. PARKS STAFFING AND BUDGET AMENDMENT REOUEST
Parks & Recreation Commission Carrie Hite explained the Parks Department made significant cuts over
the past two years, including 1.5 FTE and all seasonal in 2013. After two months, the pressure is being
felt by office staff and following a job analysis, it was determined another 0.5 FTE is needed. She
requested reinstatement of the 0.5 FTE that was cut from Parks office staff. The one-time April 1 —
December 31, 2013 cost is $24,000. She will identify how to fund it in the 2014 budget. Due to under -
spending and generating more revenue than anticipated, the Parks Department left approximately
$200,000 in the budget in 2012. She requested authorization for a budget amendment for $24,000 funded
from the carryover from 2012.
Mayor Earling explained an already reduced staff was reduced by 9 this year. In a comparison of staff to
population in other cities in the Puget Sound region, Edmonds has one of the lowest staff per capita ratios.
Although there were good intentions to spread the workload, this is becoming a problem in other
departments.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas expressed her support for reinstating the 0.5 FTE, relaying Ms. Hite
presented this to the Finance Committee. Although there were good intentions, the cuts are have made too
much impact and work is not being done. She expressed her appreciation for the cuts Ms. Hite made,
recalling she made more cuts than required.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
APPROVE A BUDGETARY REQUEST TO REINSTATE .5 FTE PARKS SR. OFFICE
SPECIALIST.
Councilmember Johnson relayed her understanding a part time staff would be restored to full-time. Ms.
Hite answered a full-time office staff was given a 0.5 layoff notice due to budget cuts. According to SEIU
and union labor rules, that person must be recalled first.
Councilmember Peterson expressed his support, recalling the agenda packet mentioned the possibility of
decreased revenues without the restoration, impacts on staff morale and potential future staff departures.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.
7. CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON THE PORT OF EDMONDS REQUEST TO INCORPORATE
THE HARBOR SQUARE MASTER PLAN INTO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
To the question why the Port's Master Plan was an attachment to the packet, Mayor Earling explained
staff attached it as a point of reference, not as the plan the Council was currently, necessarily working on.
He relayed he had been contacted by Councilmembers Buckshnis and Councilmember Johnson who
wanted to make motions prior to tonight's discussion. As he heard from Councilmember Buckshnis first,
she will speak first.
Councilmember Buckshnis offered to clarify the intent of the Council's deliberation tonight. Many emails
and telephone calls she has received indicate there is confusion with the upcoming deliberation process.
She explained it is clear the citizens of Edmonds assign great value to downtown building height

Packet Page 388 of 488
limitations. In her opinion, it was with great arrogance the Port put forward a development plan requiring
a Comprehensive Plan amendment that would significant change the height limits with no guarantee to
citizens regarding what they would receive in return for this non -monetary capital. The downtown height
limits provide inherent value to many citizens and they deserve to know the return they will receive for
the lost value. Promises draped around fluffy language regarding environmental sensitivity and open
space is not enough, the only specifics in the Port's plan were heights and setbacks.
Councilmember Buckshnis stated tonight is an opportunity to discuss parameters for the Harbor Square
Development Plan based on a staff prepared draft utilizing information obtained from each
Councilmember. She hoped to move the discussion within the community away from the emotion,
speculation and fear of opposing sides and begin to address the non -monetary capital. The community
deserves to understand what has and can be achieved with private -public partnerships that work through
the use of incentives. Incentive zoning may be a valuable approach to building consensus and ensuring
the development that occurs is desirable and moves the community forward and non -monetary items are
exchanged and discussed. For example, she would be willing to listen to 5-10 foot height increase in
exchange for a significant amount of money for restoring the marsh. Even though she was a strict height
person, she was also a strict environmentalist.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON,
TO WORK WITH THE STAFF -PROVIDED DRAFT OF THE SUBAREA PLAN KNOWN AS
HARBOR SQUARE AS A BASIS TO DEVELOP A NEW PLAN.
Council President Petso commented she was not prepared to move any draft ahead without discussion.
The agenda item was noticed without an action, but rather a discussion with the intent of working toward
a final draft. The draft in the packet is labeled discussion draft. She will oppose the motion in hopes of
hearing the staff presentation and having an open discussion.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented although she has been reviewed this, she was not ready to
take a vote on it. She noted four Councilmembers have provided input into the Harbor Square plan, input
that was only provided to Council in the last day or two. The Councilmembers' input is incorporated into
the issue table but neither she nor the citizens have had an opportunity to review the Councilmembers
input. She preferred to continue the discussion.
Councilmember Buckshnis explained her intent was to clarify that the Council was no longer working off
the Port's Master Plan. The motion simply states the Council is no longer looking at the Port plan.
Mayor Earling clarified the motion is to focus on the staff -provided draft.
Councilmember Yamamoto explained the staff -provided draft was developed using Council and citizen
comments. He liked many of the options but was unsure the Port would. He expressed his support for the
motion.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas advised neither the Council nor citizens have had an opportunity to
review the proposal from four Councilmembers as they were just provided yesterday and today and many
of the comments were new. She was not comfortable with proceeding as much of the material had not yet
been discussed.
Councilmember Peterson clarified the motion is not to approve the document; it is simply to use the staff -
provided plan as a starting point and the basis for further discussion. This seems a very reasonable way to
show the process was working, that compromises have been identified, language has been changed, etc.

To Councilmember Fraley-Monillas's comment that only four Councilmembers have had input, Mayor
Earling explained staff has tried to incorporate any/all suggestions into Exhibit 3. That document was
provided in the Council packet Friday. He suggested starting the discussion with Exhibit 3.
Councilmember Buckshnis clarified the issue she was trying to address was that many citizens still think
the Council is working off the Port's Harbor Square Master Plan. Via her motion, she wanted to make it
clear that the Council was no longer considering the Port's original plan.
Council President Petso agreed a good place to start would be Exhibit 3. She preferred to see staff's
presentation and begin discussion.
Councilmember Bloom did not see the point of making a motion prior to discussion. The only thing that
seems to have been excluded is Exhibit 4, Council President Petso's revised downtown master plan. Other
than a clarification that the Council was not working off the Port's Master Plan in Exhibit 1, she was
uncertain a motion was needed.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas preferred to hear the staff presentation before taking a vote.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION CARRIED (4-3), COUNCILMEMBERS JOHNSON, PETERSON,
YAMAMOTO, AND BUCKSHNIS VOTING YES; AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT PETSO AND
COUNCILMEMBERS BLOOM AND FRALEY-MONILLAS VOTING NO.
Councilmember Johnson commented staff has done an outstanding job of summarizing the issues. As she
was interested in listening to Councilmembers' discussion of the issues, to facilitate an efficient
discussion she suggested after the staff presentation, the Council work through each issue in a round-robin
format and only after discussions have been completed, begin making motions on individual parts.
COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO POSTPONE ANY MOTIONS ABOUT HARBOR SQUARE PLAN ADOPTION
UNTIL THE CITY COUNCIL COMPLETES DISCUSSION OF ALL THE ISSUES. MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Senior Planner Kernen Lien reviewed the process thus far:
• Port of Edmonds' process
• Planning Board review
City Council review
o Public Hearings
o Continued deliberations
At the last Council meeting regarding the Harbor Square Master Plan, Council directed staff to revise the
Harbor Square Master Plan to reflect public comments and Council discussion during the public hearings
and deliberation and Councilmembers have also submitted ideas to staff for consideration in a revised
Master Plan.
He commented on tonight's meeting materials:
• Staff has provided a modified draft plan, responding to Council's request for a version that
reflects public comments and Council discussion
• Modified plan is contained in Exhibit 2
o Rob Chave is the principal author of the revised plan
• Harbor Square Master Plan Issue Table in Exhibit 3
o Summarizes the ideas and comments heard by staff and where these are addressed in the
revised Master Plan

o Addresses the 14 specific recommendations forwarded by the Planning Board and how they
have been addressed in the revised Master Plan
• The Port's original proposal is provided for reference and comparison in Exhibit 1
• Two Councilmembers specifically requested their comments be included in the agenda item for
tonight which are Exhibits 4 and 5
Mr. Lien commented on the revised Subarea Plan:
"Subarea" plan reflects unique status and location, consistent with Planning Board
recommendation
A more conceptual plan, emphasizing a variety of concepts available for future development.
These concepts are highlighted on page 2 of the subarea included ideas such as:
o Multi -use public space that offers opportunities for community gatherings and events
o Focus on planning for and attracting employers and businesses who could provide a stimulus
to the local economy and that take advantage of the site location.
o Emphasize a mix of uses that contribute to an active subarea, which should focus on its
location and potential for connections between the marsh, waterfront and downtown.
Does not lock in a single development scheme, but rather leaves the door open for a number of
possible development opportunities
Reflects as many comments as possible
o Many of the comments and ideas submitted by Councilmembers and heard during the public
hearing process are conflicting. Exhibit 3 from tonight's agenda memo summarizes the issues
raised during the public process and how they are addressed in the revised subarea plan
The revised Master Plan/Subarea plan is a first effort by staff to incorporate as many comments as
possible. He recognized the Council just received this at the end of last week and has not had much time
to digest this draft. The intent tonight is that Council begin discussions on the revised subarea plan and
provide feedback to staff to move forward with potential revisions to the plan for Harbor Square.
Mayor Earling requested Councilmember Johnson clarify her suggestion. Councilmember Johnson
explained her intent was to encourage an open and frank discussion without the need to make motions.
She suggested thoroughly discussing each of the issues in Exhibit 3 before proceeding to the next issue.
The Council was agreeable to this process.
Residential Uses
Councilmember Buckshnis was impressed and pleased with what staff prepared. She did not see where
residential would fit with Dayton and the new marsh setbacks. However, she was very supportive of
affordable housing which includes dense, small units. She recognized it is a balance and compromise. She
was open minded about residential uses particularly affordable housing, pointing out access to the train,
ferry, etc. would be very advantageous to young families.
Councilmember Peterson also recognized staff for developing this plan and the Port for starting the
process. He was in favor of limited residential uses. Early in the process he thought this could be a
residential -driven area but via discussions, he recognized the other side and that there is a compromise to
be made. He supports affordable housing, noting Edmonds is prime for that type of development, smaller
units for people who are downsizing from single family homes and its proximity to transportation
provides a great opportunity for young professionals. He noted much of the residential in the Port's
original plan had a view of the marsh which provides a built-in support network. The marsh is a financial
investment for those who have purchased homes that have a view of the marsh as well as an emotion
connection. That is one of the reasons Edmonds is a leader in environmental issues because residents' see
Puget Sound every day. He encouraged residential uses that take advantage of the view of the marsh,
anticipating many new residents would be interested in joining Friends of the Edmonds Marsh. He agreed
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 19, 2013
Page 11
Packet Page 391 of 488
there was a balance between environmental issues and residential uses. He also supported allowing some
of the existing businesses to shift to other parts of the development while still flourishing. He summarized
there is space for residential uses and he was hopeful a developer would be interested in that concept.
Council President Petso commented one of the difficulties she had was the desire to create a destination
on this site as stated in the Comprehensive Plan; however, residential was not a destination for anyone
other than the residents. She questioned how affordable housing other than subsidized housing could be
constructed on this site. If residential uses are allowed, she suggested it be on the northern end due to the
geologic hazards on the site. She also suggested limiting the square footage that would be devoted to
housing. She suggested 20% but recognized it could be anything.
Councilmember Bloom relayed her strong belief that residential was incompatible with a destination. The
goals in the City's 2005 Downtown Waterfront Plan for the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center
include promoting downtown Edmonds as a setting for retail, office, entertainment, and associated
businesses supported by nearby residents and the larger Edmonds community and as a destination for
visitors throughout the region. The 2012 Comprehensive Plan contains the same wording. She referred to
page 55 of the Comprehensive Plan that states this area is appropriate for design driven master plan
development which provides for a mix of uses and takes advantage of its strategic location between the
waterfront and downtown. Situated in the bottom of the bowl can enable a design that provides for higher
buildings outside current view corridors. She stressed there was nothing in the Comprehensive Plan about
residential.
Councilmember Bloom advised the proposed plan includes residential which creates an urban village.
There is nothing in the Comprehensive Plan about an urban village. The zoning of Harbor Square is
General Commercial, does not include residential and the code states no residential, no places of
employment and no places of public assembly can be constructed without appropriate geotechnical
studies. She did not feel there was consistency between an urban village in any form and a destination,
pointing out no one goes to an urban village as a destination.
Councilmember Bloom agreed with Council President Petso's concern about the ability to provide any
affordable housing on the property. The Port's original feasibility study did not take into account the cost
to make the building earthquake safe. She summarized the idea that any housing on the site could be
affordable was unrealistic.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented the intent was to identify parameters; they may or may not work.
She referred to units above Trader Joes and Target stores that work and those are destinations. There is
also the potential for live -work units. She summarized many things can be done creatively but that comes
after a decision regarding mixed use that may include residential.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas expressed interest in a destination such as a hotel zone where there
would be a variety of boutique hotels. She had concerns with this process, fearing the result would simply
be argument back and forth.
Councilmember Johnson commented when she first saw the plan proposed by the Port, the majority,
approximately 60%, was residential with the assumption of vacant land. However, the existing and future
development needs to be considered. With regard to residential uses, she noted there is not a big
difference between people who stay in a hotel or in their own residence. She relayed some people are
ready to move to a condominium on this site; the views of the water and marsh make it ideal for
residential at a higher level. She agreed with Councilmember Peterson's comment that ownership would
provide eyes for the marsh. A business park with 9-5 residents does not provide a complete community;
the intent is to enhance the community. With regard to parking, residential can complement and use less
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 19, 2013
Page 12
Packet Page 392 of 488
parking than other land uses. She questioned how the Council could control the percentage of residential
that would be allowed in a proposed development.
Council President Petso commented if the Council could not control the percentage of housing, she would
be satisfied with no housing. She disagreed a hotel use was similar to a residential use; people staying in a
hotel are much more likely to spend money in the community, particularly at restaurants, than people
living in residential units. A hotel use may provide advantages for area merchants. She asked how
affordable housing could be provided and if it could not, she would support no housing.
Councilmember Peterson commented there are a number of ways the City can create affordable housing
such as limiting the square footage of a unit as a smaller unit is less expensive. The City can, via a
development agreement or incentive zoning, require a percentage of the housing to be available for under
market value. City Attorney Jeff Taraday agreed there are ways to do that. Councilmember Peterson
commented it is done to provide diversity in many communities including very expensive neighborhoods
in Seattle. He recalled Councilmembers who stated they were interested in creating more diversity.
Councilmember Peterson reiterated the Council has the ability to create affordable house and can do it in
any multi -family zone. One of the keys to being an environmentally sustainable community is giving
people options for transit. The train station, bus routes, and the ferry, provide multiple transportation
options and he supported residential uses that could take advantage of those options. He looked forward
to a creative compromise that did not hamstring development. For example, flexibility that would allow a
developer to build a hotel if that was feasible. He noted one of the new waves in hotels is a combination
of hotels and residences. He agreed a boutique hotel would be fantastic addition but residential does not
preclude a hotel.
Councilmember Buckshnis suggested Snohomish County Tomorrow provide a presentation to the
Council on affordable housing. Affordable housing can be smaller units geared toward youth.
Councilmember Yamamoto spoke in favor of residential uses including affordable housing. The
Downtown Master Plan calls for mixed use and the Shoreline Master Plan allows for residential.
Residential uses will provide revenue and mixed use will bring people to the area. Until a developer
creates a plan, this is all speculation.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas pointed out the downtown near waterfront area is not the only area for
affordable housing. She suggested Highway 99 would be a more suitable place for affordable, transit
oriented housing.
Councilmember Bloom commented an urban village, which is what housing would create, is not
consistent with a destination. Since at least 2005 Edmonds citizens have envisioned a destination for that
area. There is already a mix of uses including restaurants and commercial. Adding residential uses goes in
a different direction from destination, requiring uses to cater to the needs of the residents. She questioned
someone wanting to live in a residence with a rooftop restaurant above or a retail store below. Residential
will also require parking, limiting the amount of parking for visitors who will spend money in the City.
The Port is asking to change the Comprehensive Plan as well as the zoning and to allow residents even
though the code says nothing greater than 2500 square feet can be approved without a geotechnical study.
If the Council insists on pursuing residences, she will insist the Planning Department present all the
information to the Planning Board so they can determine what that means and what the real cost of
building will be in terms of infrastructure, seismic hazards, the floodplain, shading of the marsh, etc.
Councilmember Bloom pointed out there is a link between housing and height. The Port has said they
need a certain number of residences and height; the retail, paths and bikeways are only an afterthought. If
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 19, 2013
Page 13
Packet Page 393 of 488
the Council agrees to residential uses, the Council is agreeing to increased heights and making this an
urban village rather than a destination. A destination could be created under the current code.
Councilmember Johnson referred to places that she considers destinations such as Granville Island in
Vancouver, a place that has hotels, jobs, and live -work artist spaces so that visitors can see the artists at
work. Another example is a workspace project in Everett, adaptive reuse of an old industrial building for
artists to live and work. She agreed this could be a destination with many public amenities that draw on
the environmental resources of the marsh, the arts and culture and historical aspects of Edmonds. She
supported continued discussion regarding residential uses.
Council President Petso commented one of the criteria for a Comprehensive Plan amendment is it
maintain the appropriate balance of land uses in the City. Duplicating existing residential stock probably
does not meet that criteria; live -work options may, smaller units may not.
Mayor Earling relayed in conferring with Council President Petso, it was determined a 11/2 hour
discussion regarding the Harbor Square plan can be scheduled on next week's agenda.
Height and Bulk
Council President Petso relayed her first concern is bulk provisions because neither the Port's plan nor
this plan include any bulk limitations. Bulk limitations would be valuable for preserving the small town
character and quality that people think of in downtown Edmonds. Although there is some effort to make
large bulk buildings look smaller by modulating the fagade but there does not seem to be anything to
prevent a building stretching the entire length of Dayton Avenue. She suggested limiting the bulk of
specific buildings.
With regard to heights, Council President Petso observed citizens were not interested in 55-foot heights
but anticipated citizens would find 35 feet acceptable as that is the current height limit. She commented
the current 35 foot height limit was bought via a contract rezone. She suggested using incentive zoning
between 25 and 35 feet rather which she expected would cause less public outrage than the Port's initial
proposal.
Councilmember Buckshnis questioned why Councilmembers continue to refer to the Port's proposal. The
staff -provided plan is what is currently being discussed. She referred to non -monetary assets, pointing out
the marsh would not clean or restore itself. The only way to restore the marsh is via a private -public
partnership which requires incentives such as height, affordable housing or residential. She spoke in favor
of a collection of incentives options so citizens can see why things are being given away. She noted if a
developer provided $1 million to restore the marsh, she might consider an additional 10 feet in building
height. The current Harbor Square fagade is 40 feet. She did not want to close the door and be stuck at 35
feet forever and she did not want to be the Councilmember that turned away from the marsh.
Councilmember Bloom supported Council President Petso's suggestion that the maximum height be 35
and possibly allow incentive zoning from 25 to 35 feet. Citizens have been clear regarding where they
stand on height and she did not feel the Council should ignore years of comments, input and elections.
When the plans were presented to the Citizen Group of 33, nearly every resident who commented said do
not change the code, meaning do not add residences or increase the height. She felt the Council needed to
honor what citizens have wanted for many, many years. With creativity, a destination can be developed
without residences at the current height.
Councilmember Peterson commented he also served on the Group of 33 but the difference in recall made
it seem like he and Councilmember Bloom were at different meetings. He did not recall the Group of 33
was adamant about not making changes. Councilmember Bloom clarified it was the citizens who
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 19, 2013
Page 14
Packet Page 394 of 488
responded to the consultants' proposals, not the Group of 33 themselves. Councilmember Peterson
pointed out the Group of 33 were 33 citizens.
Councilmember Peterson agreed it was time to get creative and some of that creativity comes at a price.
The marsh is an incredible resource; it will take a lot of money and a lot of creativity to determine how to
restore it. That can be achieved by encouraging responsible development where the Council and
community dictate how things are done. That may be accomplished with a limited number of buildings at
45 feet in locations where views will not be affected. The current Harbor Square fagade is 40 feet and
citizens are not protesting. There are many reasonable voices that understand giving a little is required to
get something. Edmonds is on the forefront of many environmental issues, from coal trains to plastic bags
and protecting the marsh. Edmonds is willing to take a stands but it comes at a cost. Utilizing the marsh's
environmental beauty and educational opportunity for a destination via some concessions would be a
great opportunity.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented she was fortunate to get some education from a citizen well
versed in incentive zoning and she learned it can bring great things to the City. She was willing to
consider incentive zoning for bulk. During her extensive travels over the past 11/2 year to four foreign
counties and all over the United States she has looked at what makes cities prosperous and look good. She
found it was not the tall buildings that create a warm environment, it was the street fagade. She
anticipated great incentive zoning for bulk could be developed for Harbor Square.
Councilmember Yamamoto commented a lot can be done to get green buildings and open space and to
restore the marsh and streams. It may be necessary to give up a few feet of height to achieve those.
Incentive zoning requires a tradeoff. Whether building heights are 40 or 45 feet, a developer's plans will
show what it looks like.
Council President Petso reiterated her desire for incentive zoning between the former height limit of 25
feet and 35 feet, the height limit under the contract rezone. She requested the Council exhibit some
restraint with regard to incentive zoning as the City does not have a strong record of success with
incentive zoning. She referred to a building on SR 104, constructed under incentive zoning, that called for
an LID feature if feasible which does not appear to have been provided. It also called for parking enclosed
within the building but cars stick out of the building a couple feet. As Mr. Taraday pointed out, there
needs to be an appropriately valuable incentive in order to compensate the public for what they give up. If
done in a careless, laundry list type fashion, she feared it will come back to bite the Council. She
preferred not to do incentive zoning but if incentive zoning was adopted, she suggested using the distance
between the prior base height and the contract rezone height as an incentive.
Councilmember Johnson asked whether the City could change the parameters of the contract rezone to
allow for incentive zoning between 25 and 35 feet. Mr. Taraday answered yes; the Council could zone the
property however it wanted. He referred to Council President Petso's comment that the 35 foot height was
"bought" via a contract rezone. In a typical contract rezones, it is not incentive zoning such as the City
allows 35 feet in exchange for an amenity. The property owner is allowed zoning in exchange for a
promise not to develop certain uses that are otherwise allowed in the zone. For example, if the zoning is
CG and there are 20 permitted uses in the zone, the contract rezone may limit the property owner to only
10 of the uses. In this instance, the City is starting from scratch at the Comprehensive Plan level and the
current zoning on the property is irrelevant. The future zoning must be consistent with the ultimately
adopted Comprehensive Plan.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked staff to respond to Council President Petso's comments regarding
incentive zoning used in a development on SR 104. She was aware there had been some contract rezones
but was not aware there had been any incentive zoning. She asked how a contract rezone differed from
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 19, 2013
Page 15
Packet Page 395 of 488
incentive zoning. Acting Development Services Director Rob Chave answered a contract rezone typically
places limitations which is not incentive zoning. The incentive zoning Council President Petso alluded to
was a privately sponsored rezone that occurred on SR 104. Technically they did do an LID feature on the
property and they did provide parking under the building at the standard City parking dimensions.
Whether the entire vehicle fits under the building is beyond the scope of the dimensions. It technically
met the requirements of the zone and the zone was configured like an incentive zone. At Council
President Petso's suggestion and with the Council's agreement, the Planning Board is considering the
specific provisions in that zone.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if that project came to the Council. Mr. Chave answered it did, it was a
standard zone with incentive provisions. The incentive zoning that is being considered is part of the form
based code for Westgate and Five Corners.
For Councilmember Fraley-Monillas, Mr. Taraday explained once changes are made to the
Comprehensive Plan, the Council can adopt any zoning that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The current zoning or the contract zone does not limit what the Council can do. The only requirement is
that future zoning be consistent with whatever changes are made to the Comprehensive Plan.
For Councilmember Fraley-Monillas, Mr. Taraday said he personally felt incentive zoning worked very
well as long as the City had a good lawyer, like him, to assist them. There are instances in the City's code
where there is sloppily drafted language that does not function well. Incentive zoning requires more
careful drafting than regular zoning and there can be unintended consequences if not carefully drafted. He
was confident in his ability to get the Council what they wanted.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented people typically think of height as an incentive but it
actually can be many things such as expedited permitting in exchange for LEED development. Mr.
Taraday commented the longer the list of "goodies" a developer can provide, the more complex it
becomes. Having fewer things on the wish list makes it easier to draft bulletproof language.
Buffers, Setbacks and Other Environmental Issues
Councilmember Buckshnis commented she had no problems with this. She plans to recommend changes
to the Shoreline Master Program (SMP) regarding the setback for the marsh buffer related to industry
standards. The Comprehensive Plan references the SMP.
Council President Petso noted one of the criteria for a Comprehensive Plan amendment is related to
adequate public services. She pointed out the Harbor Square area routinely floods and therefore the public
services are not adequate to support the Comprehensive Plan amendment under consideration. She did not
have details regarding which buildings and/or parking lots routinely flood but assumed if flooding could
not be curtailed, residential was not a good plan for this site.
Councilmember Peterson referred to the column entitled "How Addressed in revised HSMP," that states
geological hazard and flooding issues are items that will be dealt with during project level SEPA review.
He pointed out a project proposal would not move forward if it could not address flooding. Similarly, if a
building cannot be constructed safely, the project will not move forward. He relayed he was required to
hire a geotech before having a deck constructed in his backyard.
Council President Petso reiterated it is in the criteria for review of a Comprehensive Plan amendment.
Councilmember Johnson commented the fourth criteria is triggered if there is a change to the
Comprehensive Plan policy map, if the subject parcels are physically suitable for the requested land use
designation and the anticipated land use development including but not limited to access, provision of
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 19, 2013
Page 16
Packet Page 396 of 488
utilities, compatibility of adjoining land uses and absence of physical constraints. She asked whether there
was potential to change the map to designate open space or a change in land use that would trigger this
criterion. Mr. Taraday assumed a map amendment would be required if the Harbor Square plan moved
forward as a subarea plan and the findings in 20.00.050(d) would need to be made by the Council. He
questioned what data the Council needed to make that finding. This is comprehensive planning and he did
not anticipate that the code intended there would be extremely detailed studies performed but rather a
high level look at physical suitability. Mr. Chave agreed with Mr. Taraday, explaining that language is
from the GMA and speaks to general plan levels of service. It is not intended to provide a project -specific
review of every location. Those are typically resolved during the development process. During the initial
phase, the question is whether the appropriate public facilities are adequate and then during project level
approval specific impacts are identified, how they are mitigated, etc.
Councilmember Johnson commented the staff report indicated there were no planned Comprehensive
Plan map changes and therefore this would not be addressed. However, if the Council pursues a subarea
plan, it can and should be addressed.
Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding that the City, as the lead agency, issued a
Determination of Non -Significance for everything but traffic. She asked whether Council could prescribe
that the geological hazard zone be considered and require a geotechnical study be done to determine
whether housing could be developed and that it was affordable to develop housing. The Port did not do
that and that was one of her major concerns with regard to the revenues the Port indicated would be
generated. Mr. Taraday referred to the criteria, including but not limited to access, provision of utilities,
compatibility with adjoining land uses and absence of physical constraints, advising the SEPA analysis
already done by is probably sufficient to allow the Council to make the findings in 20.00.050(d). Just
because staff issued a SEPA determination that satisfies 20.00.050(d) does not preclude the Council from
asking that additional information be provided if the Council needs that information to make a decision.
Councilmember Bloom said she needed that information to make a decision. She felt the Council would
be irresponsible not to be sure that earthquake safe housing can be constructed. When the code says not
more than 2500 square feet of residential, place of public assembly or employment in a geologically
hazardous area such as a seismic hazardous zone, she did not understand how the Council could approve
housing without appropriate study.
Councilmember Bloom expressed concern that there was reference to the SMP but not the Critical Areas
Ordinance (CAO) which includes the marsh and setbacks. She requested the remainder of the CAO be
honored as well as the SMP.
Councilmember Buckshnis advised the SMP impacts the marsh because the marsh is now considered a
shoreline. When the SMP is updated, she will request Section 20.40.090 include 150 feet. She reiterated
the intent was to identify parameters to include in the Comprehensive Plan; residential could be included
as an option. The Comprehensive Plan already allows mixed use in this area. She questioned why the City
would spend money on a geotechnical study; if a developer chose to construct residential, a geotechnical
study would be required at that time.
Councilmember Bloom commented once residential is included in the Comprehensive Plan, it is no
longer optional, it has to be allowed. Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out the Comprehensive Plan
allows mixed use. Councilmember Bloom commented mixed use is not the same as allowing residential.
The current zoning, General Commercial, does not include residential and the contract rezone specifically
states no residential.
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 19, 2013
Page 17
Packet Page 397 of 488
Councilmember Bloom summarized once the Comprehensive Plan is changed to allow a use, that use has
to be allowed and the zoning has to be changed to allow that use.
Councilmember Peterson asked whether the City has to allow a use that is included in the Comprehensive
Plan but cannot be built to code. Mr. Taraday answered no. Councilmember Peterson provided the
example, would the City have to allow a developer to build residential if a geotechnical survey found
residential could not be constructed. Mr. Taraday responded with an example, if a builder said it would
only be affordable to build condominiums out of balsa wood, the City does not have to approve the
condominium project. A developer must meet all the City's development codes. He clarified while it is
true adoption of a Comprehensive Plan requires adoption of consistent zoning, it is not necessarily true
that everything that could possibly be built under the consistent zoning has to be approved if a developer
cannot meet the underlying development regulations. He summarized a developer would not get a free
pass on development regulations just because the Comprehensive Plan allows residential.
Councilmember Peterson asked whether language could be included in the subarea plan that any
residential building is subject to feasibility via geotechnical analysis. Mr. Taraday answered it could be
done but he did not believe it was legally necessary. The seismic code will apply to any development
proposed for a seismic hazardous area.
Incorporation into City's Comprehensive Plan
Councilmember Buckshnis preferred to incorporate the subarea plan by reference versus incorporating it
into the Comprehensive Plan as has been done for plans such as the hospital master plan.
Councilmember Peterson recalled the Planning Board recommended that the Harbor Square Master Plan
be incorporated in the City's Comprehensive Plan rather just be incorporated by reference. He asked for
pros and cons. Mr. Taraday answered one of the disadvantages is elements adopted by reference could be
overlooked. For example, in a recent email to the Council, he referred to the six Comprehensive Plan
elements reflected in the Comprehensive Plan table of contents but not the elements adopted by reference.
Mr. Lien answered the Planning Board felt this was an important enough issue that it should be included
in the Comprehensive Plan rather than referenced. He noted the language in the subarea plan has the same
effect whether adopted by reference or incorporated in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Chave agreed there
are pros and cons and there is no set way jurisdictions adopt subarea plans. He noted if all the plans
incorporated by reference were incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan, the Comprehensive Plan
would be very voluminous. Subarea plans are frequently adopted separately so that it can be distributed
separately to a developer interested in that area, rather than providing the entire Comprehensive Plan. The
Planning Board thought it was significant enough that it should be incorporated into the Comprehensive
Plan.
Council President Petso referred to the height and bulk section and reference to transfer of development
rights. She questioned who had suggested that as it seemed contradictory to the direction the Council is
headed. She requested staff provide an explanation regarding where the concept of transfer of
development rights came from and the impact it would have.
Mayor Earling advised discussion of the next three pages of Council comments/suggestions
communicated to staff (Exhibit 3) would be continued next week.
8. REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS OF MARCH 12.2013.
Finance Committee
Councilmember Yamamoto reported on items discussed by the committee:
• Purchasing policy revision for Public Works projects — approved by the Council tonight.
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
March 19, 2013
Page 18
Packet Page 398 of 488
Council President Petso asked about making the nearest area one designation and the area further inland
another designation; for example, in Edmonds' case, Conservancy status for the first 25 feet and a
different designation beyond. Mr. Pater answered there is already a parallel designation, the marsh
setback buffer is designated Urban Mixed Use III. In Redmond, along the Sammamish River there is the
established King County Conservation Easement of 100 feet; Redmond called that Conservancy. In
downtown there is an urban designation for the upland 100 feet to make it 200 feet. In Edmonds the
railroad and the residential areas are an example of a parallel designation.
Councilmember Johnson referred to the DOE's evaluation of no net loss of ecological function and asked
whether environmental factors such as vibration, noise, glare, light, etc. are used to evaluate the impact of
redevelopment on the ecological function of the marsh. Mr. Pater answered the State SMP guidelines do
not address those issues. Mr. Lien referred to required mitigation measures to reduce impact to the marsh
(page 38 of draft SMP).
Mr. Lien asked whether the Council wanted to hold another work session to address other issues prior to
the public hearing and if so, what issues he should focus on during that presentation.
Councilmember Peterson suggested another work session to address Lake Ballinger and Haines Wharf.
Council President Petso advised a work session regarding the SMP would be scheduled on April 23.
9. CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON INCORPORATING THE HARBOR SQUARE MASTER PLAN
INTO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Mayor Earling explained staff s intent was for the Council to continue their review and commentary on
Exhibit 3. He recalled the Council had reviewed and commented on the first two pages at a previous
meeting.
Special Districts or Incentive Zoning
Council President Petso asked if a special district can be created without incentive zoning. City Attorney
Jeff Taraday advised incentive zoning is always optional. Acting Development Services Director Rob
Chave explained a special district such as a brewery/distillery/pub zone is related to uses. Special districts
are about uses; incentive zoning can be about uses but provides a way of encouraging a set of uses. When
referring to a general development area such as the CG zone, the general principle is there are a variety of
uses in the zone and specific properties are not designated for certain uses. With incentive zoning,
incentives can be provided that encourage each property owner to consider certain uses. Incentive zoning
provides the best way to do that when the City does not have control of the property.
Council President Petso asked what type of things can be offered via incentive zoning other than heights
and expedited permitting. Mr. Chave answered forgiving parking, bulk requirements such as setbacks, or
other bulk standards.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented she raised the issue of incentive zoning and a brewery district,
relaying it is a huge industry according to brewpub.com. She referred to a photograph of an old building
where height was added to create an upstairs restaurant. She favored incentive zoning to create synergy
from wineries, breweries, etc.
Councilmember Peterson asked at what point the Council needed to narrow the special districts or
incentive zoning, noting a brewery district or a tech campus could be great options. Mr. Chave answered
if the Council liked all the concepts and any combination, they did not need to narrow the focus. If the
Council identified some of these ideas in the Plan, the zoning needed to follow. At that point the focus

may be narrowed. Councilmember Peterson commented although it is not a giant property, the Harbor
Square site could support a few different things. Mr. Chave agreed it depends on the scale.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether the CG zone included all the listed uses. She observed a year-
round market is in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Chave answered staff would need to research that; there
may be zoning that prohibits some aspects of these uses, such as uses outside the building.
Councilmember Bloom recalled an earlier slide regarding the SMP listed uses prohibited by the contract
rezone for Harbor Square. Mr. Chave answered the zoning for Harbor Square includes the contract rezone
which limits uses otherwise allowed in the CG zone. It is important that the Comprehensive Plan say what
the Council wants and a follow-up step is ensuring the zoning is consistent.
Councilmember Bloom referred to "Roger Brooks' Concepts," and asked the Councilmember who
suggested that to elaborate. Council President Petso answered her intent was to encourage use of the
property, particularly along Dayton Street for a public gathering space; Roger Brooks' presentation
provided several examples of public gathering spaces that were boons to the surrounding businesses and
surrounding community and would help connect downtown to the waterfront.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented tourism is a billion dollar industry; the marsh is a destination and
improving the marsh will draw more visitors.
With regard to Roger Brooks' Concepts, Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked whether those would be
listed. Mr. Chave answered the intent was not to list them but rather capture the intent. He suggested
Councilmembers identify if something was missing with regard to Roger Brooks' concepts.
Parkin
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented her vision for this area, whether it included housing, hotels,
tech companies, etc. was less parking, a parking structure and more walkability. She preferred not to have
roads connecting the buildings.
Council President Petso did not want a reduction in the amount of parking available but she agreed with
the concept of a reduced parking footprint via a parking structure.
Councilmember Peterson asked if the parking regulations were based on older models that require X
number of spaces per 1000 square feet. Mr. Chave answered yes. Councilmember Peterson relayed new
thoughts about residential in urban settings is to reduce parking requirements to encourage people to have
one car and take advantage of public transportation. Mr. Chave answered the Planning Board and the
Highway 99 Task Force have discussed different approaches to parking requirements. The general
principal is when more transit is available, less parking is potentially needed because people will use
transit. It is also tied to the type of uses that locate around transit. There have also been discussions about
developing a flat parking ratio. He relayed one of the problems with establishing parking by specific use
is changes in parking requirements when uses change. In addition it is nearly impossible to track over
time as well as problematic for attracting/encouraging businesses to turn over. He provided the example
of a restaurant which has much higher parking requirements that wanted to replace a service business.
This was remedied downtown by establishing a flat rate; Harbor Square may be another opportunity for a
flat rate. The challenge is determining the rate. There could be a requirement established that anyone
developing in Harbor Square is required to conduct a parking study at the time of development rather than
predetermining a parking ratio. Structured parking could be part of incentive zoning; highly incentivize
structured parking versus surface parking.

Councilmember Peterson referred to the SMP and pollutants washing into the marsh, noting this is a
perfect opportunity to get creative with parking and keep pollutants out of the marsh. Mr. Chave
suggested Councilmembers look at an aerial map of the waterfront on Google Maps; it is a sea of asphalt.
Councilmember Johnson commented one of the newer concepts related to trip generation is looking at
activity centers rather than looking at parking on a use -by -use basis. A balance of job and housing has the
potential to reduce parking due to different trip generation rates. Structured parking is usually 3-4 times
more expensive than surface parking but a more desirable use of land in a compact development.
Councilmember Buckshnis described a block in North Carolina where there is a Trader Joes on the first
floor with apartments above, and three stories of parking and a Target store across the street. She
envisioned structured parking as an incentive, noting there is also the potential to locate a restaurant or a
viewing platform on the roof of a parking structure. She viewed structured parking as a great incentive.
Councilmember Bloom inquired about residential parking requirements. Mr. Chave answered it is a
sliding scale tied to the number of bedrooms, from 1.2 spaces for a studio up to 2 spaces per unit for 2+
bedrooms. Councilmember Bloom asked about the parking requirement for restaurants. Mr. Lien
answered the parking for restaurants is 1 space per 200 square feet. Mr. Chave described a scenario where
a building was constructed outside the downtown area and the parking ratio was based on office use with
no customer service which is 1 space per 800 square feet. What frequently happens is that office use is
replaced by an office that has customer service and there is inadequate parking. A general parking
requirement rather than parking requirements by use avoids that issue.
Councilmember Bloom asked if that could be done in a specific area without expending it citywide. Mr.
Chave answered yes, for example it was done downtown several years ago; a flat 1 space per 500 square
feet regardless of the business. The key is determining the number; different areas of the City would have
different standards. For example the parking standard on Highway 99 would be much different than Five
Corners where parking could spill over into residential areas.
Councilmember Bloom asked if structured parking could have free parking for residents and paid -parking
for visitors. Mr. Chave answered parking management is generally not addressed in the code. The
regulations can address shared parking. Peak hours of different uses can balance each other, reducing
overall parking requirements.
Council President Petso asked about the requirements for a destination type facility such as the ECA. Mr.
Chave stated it is typically based on the capacity of the facility, either square footage or number of seats.
Council President Petso asked whether structured parking could be required. Mr. Chave answered it could
be; the expense should be kept in mind.
Connectivity
Council President Petso envisioned the presence of a Roger Brooks' feature, a gathering space on Dayton,
as an asset to connectivity. Conversely, she did not consider buildings on Dayton casting permanent shade
on the sidewalk to be an enhancement to connectivity.
Councilmember Bloom recalled the Transportation Comprehensive Plan talks about a shuttle from the
neighborhoods with downtown. She asked if that could be included in Harbor Square to reduce the
necessity for parking. Mr. Chave answered that is a program rather than a use and would be unusual to
include in a Master Plan. The plan could refer to a shuttle as an example of a way to connect the
development to other areas. Councilmember Bloom asked about including bike and walking paths in the
Plan. Mr. Chave answered there is already a fair amount of discussion in the Plan regarding bike and
walking paths including connections offsite to existing and future pathways.

Planning Board Recommendations
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out the Planning Board's recommendations were made regarding the
Port's Master Plan but issues such as the 55 foot height limit are no longer applicable. Mayor Earling
advised some recommendations are potentially relevant and they have been included in staff s proposal.
Council President Petso expressed willingness to forego discussion of the Planning Board's
recommendations if she could be assured whatever the Council developed would be reviewed by the
Planning Board.
Councilmember Buckshnis pointed out staff has addressed the Planning Board's recommendations in the
column on the right.
Councilmember Peterson agreed with Councilmember Buckshnis that staff has incorporated many of the
Planning Board's recommendations in the Plan. He did not view the changes to be significant enough to
warrant another review by the Planning Board.
Mayor Earling suggested discussing staff's responses to the Planning Board's recommendations at a
future meeting.
Councilmember Bloom agreed with Mayor Earling's suggestion.
Councilmember Johnson also agreed with Mayor Earling's suggestion. She observed members of the
Planning Board have been present during the Council's discussion. She thanked the Planning Board for
the work they have done.
Councilmember Peterson suggested Councilmembers email Council President Petso and staff with their
concerns about the 14 Planning Board recommendations. Mayor Earling requested Councilmembers
provide their comments to staff by Tuesday, April 2.
Council President Petso advised further discussion would be tentatively scheduled on the April 16
meeting.
10. REPORT ON OUTSIDE BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Councilmember Buckshnis reported she was unable to attend the WRIA 8 meeting. She reported the
Snohomish County Tomorrow meeting will include review of the 2035 growth targets, the
Interjurisdictional Housing Agreement, and the Dispute Resolution Mediation pilot program.
Councilmember Bloom reported the Economic Development Commission discussed land use incentives,
possibly providing quarterly updates to Council, a form for communicating with the community, whether
the EDC could be involved in the coal train issues, and tourism activities.
Councilmember Bloom reported the Tree Board discussed fees for tree cutting, the City's Urban Forestry
Management Plan and a suggestion to meet with the Mayor's Climate Change Committee.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas reported an audio of EDC meetings is now available online on the City's
website. She reported the South County City's dinner included discussion regarding changing the way
issues are raised with the legislature such as approaching them before the session begins and holding
legislators accountable for cities' requests.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas reported on a meeting Councilmember Bloom, Planning Commissioner
Val Stewart and she attended regarding rain gardens. Rain gardens can be beneficial in private yards as
well as City -owned land.

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.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
August 6, 2013
Page 11
Packet Page 403 of 488
8. An additional sentence should be added to the "Dayton Street Frontage" section on page 11 of
the Harbor Square Master Plan to read: "Consideration should be given to enhance street -side
parking to support separating human activity from the traffic along Dayton Street. " This
language was added on page 7 of Exhibit 2.
9. On page 11 of the Harbor Square Master Plan under "SR 104 Frontage", "If WSDOT is
amendable" should be stricken from the beginning of the third sentence. Language was added to
Exhibit 2.
10. The Edmonds City Attorney shall develop language consistent with the memorandum dated
September 6, 2012 to be incorporated into the City's adoption of the Comprehensive Plan
addressing height limits, precedent, and views. The City Attorney's memo was in response to
three specific questions from the Planning Board:
a. The height issue is addressed by limiting base height to 35 feet. Any increase in height above
35 feet could only be accomplished through incentive zoning approved by Council.
b. Concern with regard to precedent is addressed by treating the HSMP as a subarea plan.
c. No specific language with regard to protection of private views has been provided. The memo
noted the City has discretion in how it addresses private views. Private view protection is not
mentioned in any of the City's planning documents or codes. The City has designated specific
public view corridors.
11. Clarifying language should be added to the Harbor Square Master Plan that residential uses
must be multifamily and not single-family residential. No specific language with regard to
multifamily development has been added. Residential development in Harbor Square should not
be the principle use, but provide to enhance and support the mixed use nature of Harbor Square.
Urban Mixed Use III in the SMP allows multi -family development but not single family.
12. If and when the Harbor Square Master Plan is adopted by the City Council, it should be
physically incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan rather than incorporated by reference.
13. Any future development proposal shall clearly demark and provide protection for the Edmonds
Marsh by establishing an area of open space not less than 25 feet landward from the edge of the
Edmonds Marsh and ensure any development preserves or improves the Edmonds Marsh
Park/Walkway. Setbacks from the marsh will be determined by the updated Shoreline Master
Program currently under review by the City Council.
14. The approved Master Plan shall be modified as necessary to maintain consistency with the
Shoreline Master Program update to be determined following submittal by the City and approved
by the State in accordance with process deadlines existent between the State and the City. The
SMP and Harbor Square Master Plan have been reviewed together to ensure consistency. Exhibit
2 specifically references consistency with the SMP. The Harbor Square Master Plan is a
Comprehensive Plan amendment; a development proposal will be required to meet the SMP.
Main Motion
COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS,
THAT THE CITY COUNCIL WORK WITH STAFF TO DEVELOP A DECISION TREE TO
ASSIST IN DELIBERATING THE KEY ISSUES FOR HARBOR SQUARE.
Councilmember Johnson commented the Council's discussions regarding Harbor Square have included a
wide range of topics including regulatory processes and zoning. She suggested sorting through the topics
and focusing attention on the key issues that need to be decided from a Comprehensive Plan perspective
such as the appropriate land uses for redevelopment of Harbor Square and whether redevelopment should
include residential and if so, how much. Creation of a decision tree is the next logical step.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented Exhibits 1 and 2 are drastically different. For example there is no
longer a 55 foot height limit, there is a 35 foot base height; there is no longer a set buffer, the buffer is as
indicated by the SMP, etc. If the process moved forward, she asked if a new Planning Board review
would be required. City Attorney Jeff Taraday explained as he emailed to Council President Petso and
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
August 6, 2013
Page 12
Packet Page 404 of 488
Councilmember Buckshnis earlier today, the Council can commit to sending the Harbor Square Master
Plan back to the Planning Board for further public participation regardless of what the final plan looks
like. The Council can make that statement even before they know what the final plan will look like. He
cannot make a decision whether further Planning Board review and public hearings will be required until
a final plan is developed.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented people are confused and still referring to the Harbor Square
Master Plan as the Port's plan. She noted the Port's plan is no longer being discussed as evidenced by
Exhibit 3 and Council direction to staff to develop Exhibit 2 based on Council and citizen input and some
of the Port's ideas. Mr. Taraday explained once a final plan is developed, his recommendation whether
further Planning Board review is required will be based on how similar the final plan is to what the
process began with. Councilmember Buckshnis viewed the staff -developed plan as drastically different
from the Port's plan and therefore would require Planning Board review. Mr. Taraday observed the
Council is not prepared to adopt Exhibit 2 as the Harbor Square Master Plan; therefore he has not
developed a recommendation regarding whether it would need to go back to the Planning Board. If the
concern is ensuring the final plan is reviewed by the Planning Board, the Council can commit to that.
If a motion were made to approve the Harbor Square Master Plan as originally presented by the Port and
four Councilmembers voted in favor, Council President Petso observed it would not need to go back to
the Planning Board for additional public hearings. Mr. Taraday agreed.
To ensure a future public process at the Planning Board, Council President Petso recalled a suggestion to
adopt a resolution stating there would be a future public process. However it was her understanding the
Council could not bind itself or a future Council. Mr. Taraday answered resolutions stating intent are not
legally binding. However in his opinion it would be highly unlikely and unusual for a Council to state
additional public hearings at the Planning Board would be required and then surprise everyone with a
hasty adoption of a subarea plan without sending it to the Planning Board for further public hearings.
Hypothetically, if the Council voted on August 6 to send the plan to the Planning Board for additional
public hearings and then on September 6 adopted the subarea plan without sending it back to the Planning
Board for public hearing, there was some risk of a GMA challenge that the Council failed to provide the
public participation it committed to providing. His advice in that hypothetical situation was that the plan
be sent back to the Planning Board if the Council committed to sending it back.
Council President Petso asked for clarification that although the Port's original proposal had a maximum
height of 55 feet, Exhibit 2 does not have a maximum height. Mr. Lien answered Exhibit 2 limits the base
height to 35 feet, the current height limit in that zone, and provides opportunity for heights above 35 feet
via incentive zoning to a maximum of 45 feet.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas recalled the last two times this was discussed, Mayor Earling said he
would not have staff spend time on this because of other projects, lack of staff, etc. She asked whether
that was still the case and when would staff have time to assist with a new plan. Mayor Earling responded
Councilmember Johnson has suggested a way of reaching resolution. If the process is pointed toward
potential success or at least moving forward, he would be agreeable to staff assisting with developing a
decision tree. His comments about not having staff do anything else were the result of meetings where the
Council simply had discussion and then decided to have another meeting.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas recalled Mr. Taraday provided the Council four choices, 1) the Council
likes the Port plan and wants to move forward with it, 2) the Council likes elements of the Port plan but
want to revise some elements, 3) deny the plan in its entirety, or 4) acknowledge the withdrawal of the
Port's application and cease processing the application. She summarized the development of a decision
tree will not fix the problem; these are still the four choices before the Council.

Councilmember Peterson recalled when the discussion first began, one of the big issues was shoreline
buffers; that will be addressed by the SMP and the plan must comply with the SMP. The biggest issue is
whether residential should be allowed; if the Council can reach agreement on that, the Council can then
discuss how much residential development should be allowed. If residential is not allowed, that would be
a death knell for any further development. Height and bulk are also issues; removing the numbers as staff
did in Exhibit 2 will make that discussion easier and many of those discussions will happen when
development is proposed. He did not want to start with the small things that Council agrees on and leave
the larger issues for later.
Councilmember Johnson concurred that she wanted the Council to face the big, tough decisions first
which as Councilmember Peterson identified, are height, residential uses and possibly setbacks. The
Council needs to provide direction and discuss the process later.
Councilmember Bloom asked if Councilmember Johnson's motion was for staff to look at the Planning
Board's recommendations or the Council Comments/Suggestions. Councilmember Johnson repeated her
motion, that the City Council and staff work together to develop a decision tree to assist in deliberating
key issues for Harbor Square. Councilmember Bloom observed the key issues have been identified,
noting the most critical was residential uses. If the Council cannot agree on residential uses, the plan
cannot be agreed on. She recalled the public hearings revealed a lot of concern about residential uses,
heights and uses on the property given the conflicting issues on the site. She did not support the motion as
the key issues have already been identified.
Council President Petso pointed out height was a key issue and not an issue to be deferred. There was an
enormous amount of public comment regarding height. She noted Exhibit 2 does not include a 45-foot
maximum height but rather a 45-foot average. She anticipated that would not be specific enough for
people concerned about their views or those who were concerned whether heights were being raised. If
the Council wanted to take heights out of the discussion, she suggested a 25 foot base and a 35 foot
maximum.
Councilmember Buckshnis expressed support for the motion, noting this was a matter of non -monetary
capital items. She relayed Ms. Shippen, who does not advocate height increases, said she would not be
opposed to a 4-story parking structure under certain conditions. Councilmember Buckshnis suggested
citizens be allowed to creatively explore what they might be willing to give up for an additional 10 feet in
height. The City needs a parking structure; it could include a dining or viewing platform on top.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas suggested the City develop its own plan from the beginning. Although
elements of the Council's desires are included in the revised Harbor Square Master Plan, she anticipated
the Council would continue to spin its wheels and continue to have the same conversation. She preferred
to start from scratch and consider the waterfront as a whole rather than individual properties. She did not
believe a decision tree would resolve the issues.
Councilmember Peterson noted the Council cannot start from scratch because the discussion has already
begun. The decision tree would allow Council to identify issues they may be able to agree on. If the
Council cannot agree on some of the big issues, he anticipated the process could be concluded. With the
number of things that have been removed from the original proposal, it is close to starting from scratch.
The decision tree will provide direction regarding how to proceed or that it needs to sit for 1-2 years.
Council President Petso preferred to start from scratch to guarantee a full public process. She asked
whether letting it sit for 1-2 years was an option. Mr. Taraday did not recommend that without making a
motion; doing nothing is tantamount to one of the four options he provided. If the Council is truly not
going to talk about it for a year that was essentially a decision not to take any action and acknowledging
the Port has withdrawn its application.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
August 6, 2013
Page 14
Packet Page 406 of 488
Councilmember Peterson clarified his comment about not talking about it for a year did not mean this
plan would be allowed to sit for a year. His comment was waiting to talk about the entire area for 1-2
years. He agreed if the Council could not reach agreement with regard to moving forward, the plan should
be killed. With regard to Council President Petso's comment about guaranteeing a full public process, he
emphasized this discussion is a full and public process. He took offense to Council President Petso's
intimation that supporting this motion was somehow excluding the public. If anything, there has been an
effort to continue the public process that has being going on for three years. The Council has the ability to
send a plan back to the Planning Board and he anticipated if a plan was ever developed, it would be sent
back to the Planning Board for a continued public process.
Council President Petso explained as Mr. Taraday stated, until this process is terminated, the original Port
Harbor Square Master Plan can be adopted by a majority vote of Council without further public process.
Further, Mr. Taraday has also been clear that whatever the Council develops as its recommendation may
or may not require a further public process. The Council has not committed to having an additional public
process for whatever plan may be developed. If the Council recognizes the Port has withdrawn its Master
Plan and the Council discontinues processing it, there will be the opportunity and assurance of further
public process because it will be required by law. She would be more comfortable knowing the Planning
Board and the public would have an opportunity to review whatever the Council developed.
Council President Petso relayed her concern with the Council's failure to make a decision. She was
concerned with again discussing height limits and residential uses. Councilmembers have suggested three
approaches, 1) meet offline with representatives of the Port either individually or in a group, 2) sit down
and talk with the Port about what can be done, 3) divide the issues between what needs to be done at the
Comprehensive Plan level, the zoning level and later. She concluded none of that could happen until this
ongoing process was put to rest.
Amendment
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON,
TO AMEND THE MOTION THAT ANY NEW COUNCIL PROPOSAL WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE PLANNING BOARD PROCESS.
Councilmember Bloom observed the Council could agree they did not want to adopt the Port proposed
Master Plan; the Port has withdrawn its plan. She asked if the Port could submit the same plan in the
future if the Council continues the process and never officially denies the Port Master Plan. Mr. Taraday
answered the Port could submit the same plan regardless of the Council's decision. Even if the Council
adopted a subarea plan tonight, the Port could submit the same plan in the future. Councilmember Bloom
observed if the Council denies the Port's plan, the Council could move forward with working on their
own plan. Mr. Taraday answered that could be done with or without denying the Port's plan.
Council President Petso agreed there was no maximum height limit in Exhibit 2 other than an option for a
maximum height limit of 45 feet.
Action on Amendment
THE VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Johnson explained this is an attempt to discuss the key issues and for Councilmembers to
weigh in on what the key issues are. Making no decision is a decision and she urged Councilmembers to
participate and state their opinions.
Action on Main Motion as Amended

Council President Petso asked whether the Councilmembers voting in favor wanted this to be discussed
by the full Council or the Parks, Planning and Public Works (PPP) Committee. Councilmember Johnson
said her motion was for the Council to work together; she was open to whatever Council President Petso
felt was appropriate. The Council was agreeable to referring it to the PPP Committee.
10. REPORT ON BIDS OPENED FOR THE 5TH AVE OVERLAY PROJECT AND POSSIBLE
AWARD OF CONTRACT TO INTERWEST CONSTRUCTION, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF
$732,732.25.
Mr. Williams explained the project limits on 5th Avenue extend from Elm Way on the south and Walnut
on the north. Funding for the project includes a $551,000 federal grant. This will be the first curb -to -curb
2 inch asphalt paving on an important City street since 2008. He provided several pictures of curb,
driveways and pavement defects, pointing out there are a lot of intersections and curb ramps. A large part
of the project is bringing curb ramps and many of the driveways up to current ADA compliance. The
opportunity to pave this street arose because the Water Department tore up half the street replacing the
waterline. The Water Fund now has the responsibility to restore the street, providing matching funds for
the federal grant.
Mr. Williams reviewed the 5`h Avenue Overlay improvements:
• Pavement grind and 2-inch hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlay
• Pavement fabric to minimize reflective cracking
• New pedestrian curb ramps for ADA compliance
• Replace 13 existing driveways
• Add bike sharrows
• New pavement markers/striping
Mr. Williams reviewed bid results:
• Engineering Estimate: $547,842
• Low bid (2): $732,732
• Difference: $184,890 or 33%
• Grant applied for spring 2012. Prices have gone up since
• Snohomish County opened bids on a similar paving project one day earlier and were 31% above
Engineer's estimate
Mr. Williams explained a great deal of federal money was prioritized by PSRC and the ICC in Snohomish
County for pavement preservation (overlays) and all those projects went out to bid at the same time. In
addition, the economy is improving and contractors have more work. He reviewed the project budget:

award of contract to Insituform in the amount $135,344.74.
Mr. English
Mr. English reviewed the scope of work to be completed and how 1,530 feet of sewer pipe will be
repaired using the cured in place pipe (CIPP) method. He also let the Committee know that
there are very few contractors who perform this work which explains why more contractors did
not provide bids to complete the project.
ACTION: Moved to Consent Agenda for approval.
F. Authorization for the Mayor to sign a Grant Acceptance Intent Notice and Grant
Agreement with the State of Washington Department of Ecology for a Municipal
Stormwater Capacity Grant for $50,000 and a Project Specific Planning and Design of

and stormwater utility funds. The recommendation included rate comparisons with other cities.
ACTION: Moved the item to the full City Council for a decision.
H. Discussion of Street Tree Management Policy.
Mr. Williams reviewed the 1978 City Council resolution on trimming and removal of trees within
the City's right of way. He explained how sections of the current policy are difficult to administer
and he proposed changes to improve the policy.
ACTION: Mr. Williams will work with the Committee to update the policy and submit it to the
Tree Board for review.
Developing a decision tree for deliberating key issues for Harbor Square.
PPP and staff discussed approaches in developing a decision tree for deliberating key issues for
Harbor Square. Potential key issues noted included height, residential use, intensity of uses and
ties to the Shoreline Master Program (SMP) update. With regard to the SMP, it was noted that
the SMP is a separate process and any development at Harbor Square must be consistent with
the SMP; as such, SMP issues will not figure in a decision tree. For the other key issues, staff
and PPP discussed presenting the key issues on a continuum (e.g. ranging from `no residential'
to `multi -family') and evaluating tradeoffs and means of achieving desired outcomes (e.g. how

incentive zoning might be used to reach desired ends). Further discussion will be held during the
September PPP meeting.

J. Public Comments
Jamie Jensen, Mukilteo Law Office and attorney for Han Park, addressed the PPP regarding the
City of Edmonds parcel associated with the Angler's Crossing Plat/PRD (P-2005-136/PRD-2005-
137). Mr. Park is interested in selling his property to developer's who wish to finish the approved
Angler's Crossing Plat/PRD; however, the development cannot go forward without the
associated City property. Mr. Jensen questioned what he and Mr. Park could do to hasten a
decision from the City Council regarding the sale of the associated City property.
The meeting adjourned at 7:55 pm.

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 416 of 488
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.

2. Working for the Common Good. Recognizing that stewardship of the
public interest must be their primary concern, Officials will work for the common
good of the people of Bellevue and not for any private or personal interest, and they
will ensure fair and equal treatment of all persons, claims and transactions coming
before the City Council, boards and commissions.
3. Respect for Process. Officials shall perform their duties in accordance
with the processes and rules of order established by the City Council and boards
and commissions governing the deliberation of public policy issues, meaningful
involvement of the public, and implementation of policy decisions of the City Council
by City staff.
4. Commitment to Transparency. Transparency, openness and
accountability are fundamental values of the City — and are also required by the laws
of the state of Washington. The public has a right to inspect and copy public records
unless exempt by law from disclosure. All materials relating to the conduct of City
government that are prepared, possessed, used or retained by any Official, including
Email and other electronic records, are subject to requirements for retention,
protection and disclosure. Officials may assume that all copies of materials received
from City staff have already been archived and do not need to be retained. Officials
shall not discard, damage or destroy the original copy of any public record unless
the City complies with the record retention schedules established under Chapter
40.14 RCW. In accordance with the requirements of state law Officials shall
5
Packet Page 426 of 488
1336-ORD
06/05/13
promptly provide any records requested by the Public Records Officer in response to
a disclosure request under the Public Records Act, Chapter 42.56 RCW. It is the
responsibility for the Public Records Officer together with the City Attorney, to decide
which records meet the definition of "public record" and whether or not such records
are exempt from disclosure; Officials must not take it upon themselves to decide
whether a record meets the definition of a public, record, that a record is exempt from
disclosure, or to otherwise conceal a record.
5. Conduct of Public Meetings. Officials shall prepare themselves for public
issues; listen courteously and attentively to all public discussions before the body;
and focus on the business at hand. They shall refrain from interrupting other
speakers; or otherwise interfering with the orderly conduct of meetings.
6. Decisions Based on Merit. Officials shall base their decisions on the
merits and substance of the matter at hand and on greater public policy
considerations, rather than on unrelated considerations.
7. Ex parte Communications. In quasi-judicial matters, Officials shall publicly
disclose substantive information that is relevant to a matter under consideration by
the Council or boards and commissions, which they may have received from
sources outside of the public decision -making process.
8. Attendance. As provided in RCW 35A.12.060, a Council Member shall
forfeit his or her office by failing to attend three consecutive regular meetings of the
Council without being excused by the Council. Unless excused, members of boards
and commissions are expected to attend all meetings.
9. Nepotism. The City Council will not appoint Relatives of City Council
Members to boards or commissions or other appointed positions.
10. Advocacy. When acting in an official capacity as a City Official
representing the City, Officials shall represent the official policies or positions of the
City Council, board or commission to the best of their ability when the City Council,
board or commission has taken a position or given an instruction. When a City
Official is appointed to fill an Official role on a governing body in a capacity that is
not dependent upon their status as a City of Bellevue Official, but, for example, as a
representative of a geographic area, the Official shall endeavor to represent the
policies or positions consistent with those of the constituency he or she has been
appointed to represent. When presenting their individual opinions and positions,
members shall explicitly state they do not represent their body or the Gity of
Bellevue, nor will they allow the inference that they do. Officials have the right to
endorse candidates for all Council seats or other elected offices. It is inappropriate
to make or display endorsements during Council meetings, board/commission
meetings, or other official City meetings. However, this does not preclude Officials
from participating in ceremonial occasions, community events or other events
sponsored by civic groups.

authority granted to legislative bodies, except insofar as such power and authority is
vested in the City Manager in accordance with Chapter 35A.13 RCW.

shall have sufficient experience and training. The services of the Ethics
Officer may be terminated only by a supermajority vote of the Council.
B. The Ethics Officer will provide for annual review of this Code of Ethics,
review of training materials provided for education regarding the Code of
Ethics, and advisory opinions concerning the Code of Ethics. The Ethics
Officer shall also be responsible for the prompt and fair enforcement of

C. The Ethics Officer, in addition to other duties, shall conduct a review of
this ethics code in 2015 and again in 2017 and may recommend
changes or additions to this Code of Ethics to the City Council designed
to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of processing ethics
questions.
D. In rendering opinions under 3.92.070 or 3.92.080 below, the Ethics
Officer shall consider the Intent section contained in 3.92.010 herein and
in RCW 42.23.010.
3.92.070. - ADVISORY OPINIONS
A. Upon request of any Official, the Ethics Officer shall render written
advisory opinions concerning the applicability of Sections 3.92.030 and
3.92.040 of this Code to hypothetical circumstances and/or situations
solely related to the persons making the request. The Ethics Officer will
not render opinions on matters that are the purview of other government
agencies such as the Public Disclosure Commission or the King County
Prosecutor.
B. Upon request of any Official, the Ethics Officer may also render written
advisory opinions concerning the applicability of the Code of Ethics to
hypothetical circumstances and/or situations related to a matter of city-
wide interest or policy.
C. The Ethics Officer will endeavor to respond to requests for advisory
opinions within fourteen (14) days of submission of the request, or more
rapidly if the requester expresses urgency in the request.
D. An Official's conduct based in reasonable reliance on an advisory
opinion rendered by the Ethics Officer shall not be found to violate this
Code of Ethics, as long as all material facts have been fully, completely,
accurately presented in a written request for an advisory opinion, the
Ethics Officer issues an advisory opinion that the described conduct
would not violate the Code of Ethics, and the Official's conduct is
consistent with the advisory opinion. The Ethics Officer reserves the right
to reconsider the questions and issues raised in an advisory opinion and,
where the public interest requires, rescind, modify, or terminate the
opinion, but a modified or terminated advisory opinion will not form the
basis of a retroactive enforcement action against the original requestor.
Advisory opinions will contain severability clauses indicating that, should
portions of the opinion be found to be unenforceable or not within the
Ethics Officer's authority, the remainder of the opinion shall remain
intact.
E. All Officials subject to this chapter are strongly encouraged to seek
advisory opinions from the Ethics Officer at the earliest possible
Es3

before the Council is first a committee meeting or work session. Issues that have a financial impact will be
discussed at a work session rather than just by the Finance Committee.
It was the consensus of the Council to change the name of the Community Services/Development Services
Committee to the Public Works, Parks and Planning Committees.
• Mission Statements
Committees will determine whether to develop a mission statement. Councilmembers Buckshnis and Yamamoto
will develop a mission statement for the Finance Committee.
• Clarify the Public Safety/Human Resources Committee
It was the consensus of the Council to change the name of the Public Safety/Human Resources to Committee to
the Public Safety and Personnel Committee.
• Community Outreach, Tree Board
Council President Peterson explained there has been a proposal to restart the Community Outreach Committee.
Councilmember Plunkett recalled the Community Outreach Committee was discontinued after 3 years; no new
methods of communicating were identified. Mayor Earling commented on the potential for an electronic
newsletter.
Discussion followed regarding whether to form a code rewrite committee so that the code rewrite is Council and
citizen driven, technical expertise required for the code rewrite, having staff make periodic presentations at
Council work sessions regarding the rewrite, the proposal by staff to restructure the code, providing opportunity
for citizen comment but having professionals assemble the changes, citizen knowledge that could benefit the
process, concern with citizens participating for their own benefit or at least that perception, proposal to have
user groups test the model, ability for any citizen to identify code conflicts regardless of whether there is a
committee structure, and asking staff whether forming a committee in the future could be helpful.
The Council agreed to seek feedback from Planning Manager Rob Chave and Building Official Leonard
Yarberry regarding forming a code rewrite committee and schedule further discussion on a work session agenda.
Council President Peterson suggested enhancing the Council portion of the website with more updates, etc. and
working with the Mayor on an electronic newsletter and then consider whether a Community Outreach
Committee is needed. It was the consensus of the Council to add a Council liaison to the Tree Board and to
make it a paid committee position.
0 Ethics
Council President Peterson recalled there has been discussion about developing a code of ethics for
Councilmembers. Councilmembers Fraley-Monillas, Bloom and Petso offered to serve on an ad hoc committee
that would review other cities' codes and present a draft to the Council.
• Miscellaneous
Mr. Taraday explained a special meeting notice must be issued for Tuesday committee meetings that begin at
6:00 p.m. If the Council wished to continue holding committee meetings at 6:00 p.m., he suggested revising the
code to reflect that start time.

MEETING MINUTES
April 10, 2012
Committee members present: Council Member K. Michael Plunkett
Council Member Joan Bloom
Others present: HR Manager Mary Ann Hardie
Citizen Don Hall
Council Member Plunkett called the meeting to order at 7:19 pm.
DISCUSSION ON CODE OF ETHICS (RELATING TO COUNCIL MEMBERS)
Council Member Michael Plunkett opened the discussion by stating it was unclear as to what action/direction
should be taken at this point with regard to this as Council had not given any specific direction regarding this
topic although one or some council member(s) may have wanted to discuss this further. Council Member Joan
Bloom stated that she had reviewed the City of Kirkland's Code of Ethics and the Mountlake Terrace Code of
Ethics and there were some concerns that she had with using a code of ethics similar to theirs.
Council Member Bloom further stated that she was not aware that there was a code of ethics for Council
Members. HR Manager Mary Ann Hardie affirmed this. Council Member Bloom stated that she would like to
build a policy regarding a code of ethics and that this process needs to move forward. Council Member
Plunkett stated that he was willing to discuss this topic since it was on the agenda, but that that he may not be
interested in moving this forward [for Council consideration].
Ms. Hardie stated that she had discussed this HR Committee subject with Carrie Hite (Parks, Recreation &
Cultural Services Director) prior to the meeting and that they both agreed that HR would likely not be the best
(nor most appropriate) committee for this forum. Additionally, while HR had provided samples of codes of
ethics from other cities it would seem that the City Attorney and/or the City Clerk's Office [or Council] may be
more appropriate for this process. Ms. Hardie also emphasized that HR was willing to continue to provide
information as needed to the committee to assist with the process, but that this was not a [specific to] HR
function since it did not pertain to employee related policies.
There was some discussion that followed by the committee about what the process would be to create a code
of ethics policy for Council members, creating a committee for this and whether or not the HR Committee was
the appropriate committee for the discussion.
Council Member Plunkett emphasized his concern about the subjectivity of some of the other policies from
other cities and that [while the City may not have a specific code of ethics for Council Members] there are state
laws that Council Members must follow. Council Member Bloom stated that she understood Council Member
Plunkett's concerns but that due to the expressed interest/concern from the citizens about the possible need
for this policy, she felt it was important for: 1) The City of Edmonds to have this policy; 2) this information to be
available to citizens (as well as being part of transparency of information and citizen participation); and 3) there
to be continued work toward the creation of such a policy. Council Member Plunkett stated that he would like to
make this information easier for citizens to access.
Council Member Bloom stated that since there does not usually appear to be a large agenda for the HR
Committee, that the work on this code of ethics policy could be done at this committee and that the Cities of
Kirkland, Mountlake Terrace and another city may be reviewed for further policy consideration. Council
Member Plunkett agreed that this could be kept on the HR Committee Meeting agenda and that further review
of the policy will occur at the next meeting.
Packet Page 436 of 488
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD
Citizen Don Hall stated that he agreed with Council Member Plunkett that some of the code of ethics policies from
other cities that he had come across did appear to be too subjective. Citizen Hall further stated that he became
more interested in this topic of discussion after it was discovered that Council Members were not considered to be
employees of the City and are not held to the same City Personnel Policy standards although [perhaps] they should
be. This process will likely require a lot of "hands on" work and will be a difficult process.
The meeting adjourned at 7:44 pm

CHAPTER X
EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES AND CODE OF ETHICS
10.1 GENERAL CODE OF CONDUCT The City's primary function is to provide
service to the citizens of Edmonds. To achieve that goal, all employees are expected to
treat the public as their most valued customer. All employees are expected to serve the
public in a professional manner, which is courteous, efficient and helpful. Employees
must maintain a clean and neat appearance appropriate to their work assignment, as
determined by their position and department head.
Since the proper working relationship between employees and the City depends on
each employee's on -going job performance, professional conduct and behavior, the City
has established certain minimum standards of personal and professional conduct.
Among the City's expectations are: tact and courtesy towards the public and fellow
employees; adherence to City policies, procedures, safety rules and safe work
practices; compliance with directions from supervisors; preserving and protecting the
City's equipment, grounds, facilities and resources; and providing orderly and cost
efficient services to its citizens. In addition, all persons representing the City of
Edmonds are expected to conduct business in the following manner:
• All persons, representing the City of Edmonds, shall conduct business in a
professional manner, respecting all citizens' rights, and showing courtesy to all.
• Their actions shall be conducted within compliance of the laws and regulations
governing the City's actions, including but not limited to RCW Title 42.
• City representatives are expected to conduct business in an open manner.
• They shall not engage in any conduct which would reflect unfavorably upon City
government or any of the services it provides.
• They must avoid any action which might result in or create the impression of
using their position for private gain, giving preferential treatment or privileged
information to any person, or losing impartiality in conducting the City's business.
10.2 OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Employees
shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any outside employment or financial interest
which may conflict, in the City's opinion, with the best interests of the City or interfere
with the employee's ability to perform his/her assigned City job. Examples include, but
are not limited to, outside employment which:
53
Packet Page 438 of 488
(1) prevents the employee from being available for work beyond normal
working hours, such as emergencies or peak work periods, when such
availability is a regular part of the employee's job;
(2) is conducted during the employee's work hours;
(3) utilizes City telephones, computers, supplies, credit, or any other
resources, facilities or equipment;
(4) is employed with a firm which has contracts with or does business with the
City; or
(5) may reasonably be perceived by members of the public as a conflict of
interest or otherwise discredits public service.
10.3 REPORTING IMPROPER GOVERNMENT ACTION In compliance with the
Local Government Employee Whistleblower Protection Act, RCW 42.41.050, this policy
is created to encourage employees to disclose any improper governmental action taken
by city officials or employees without fear of retaliation. This policy also safeguards
legitimate employer interests by encouraging complaints to be made first to the City,
with a process provided for speedy dispute resolution.
Key Definitions:
Improper Governmental Action is any action by a city officer or employee that is:
(1) undertaken in the performance
duties, whether or not the action
employment, and
of the official's or employee's official
is within the scope of the employee's
(2) in violation of any federal, state or local law or rule, is an abuse of
authority, is of substantial and specific danger to the public health or
safety, or is a gross waste of public funds.
(3) "improper governmental action" does not include personnel actions (hiring,
firing, complaints, promotions, reassignment, for example). In addition,
employees are not free to disclose matters that would affect a person's
right to legally protected confidential communications.
City employees who become aware of improper governmental action should follow this
procedure:
• Bring the matter to the attention of his/her supervisor, if non-involved, in writing,
stating in detail the basis for the employee's belief that an improper action has
occurred. This should be done as soon as the employee becomes aware of the
improper action.
54
Packet Page 439 of 488
• Where the employee believes the improper action involves their supervisor, the
employee may raise the issue directly with Human Resources, their Department
Director or the Mayor. Where the employee believes the improper action involves
the Mayor, the employee may raise the issue with Human Resources or the City
Attorney.
• The Mayor or his/her designee, as the case may be, shall promptly investigate the
report of improper government action. After the investigation is completed (within
thirty (30) days of the employee's report), the employee shall be advised of the
results of the investigation, except that personnel actions taken as a result of the
investigation may be kept confidential.
An employee who fails to make a good faith effort to follow this policy shall not be
entitled to the protection of this policy against retaliation, pursuant to RCW 42.41.030.
In the case of an emergency, where the employee believes that damage to persons or
property may result if action is not taken immediately, the employee may bypass the
above procedure and report the improper action directly to the appropriate government
agency responsible for investigating the improper action. For the purposes of this
section, an emergency is a circumstance that if not immediately changed may cause
damage to persons or property.
Employees may report information about improper governmental action directly to an
outside agency if the employee reasonably believes that an adequate investigation was
not undertaken by the City to determine whether an improper government action
occurred, or that insufficient action was taken by the City to address the improper action
or that for other reasons the improper action is likely to recur. Outside agencies to
which reports may be directed include:

If the above -listed agencies do not appear to appropriate in light of the nature of the
improper action to be reported, contact information for other state and county agencies

unlawful for a local government to take retaliatory action because an employee, in good
faith, provided information that improper government action occurred. Retaliatory
55
Packet Page 440 of 488
Action is any material adverse change in the terms and conditions of an employee's
employment. Employees who believe they have been retaliated against for reporting an
improper government action should follow this procedure:
Procedure for Seeking Relief against Retaliation:
(1) Employees must provide a written complaint to the supervisor within thirty
(30) days of the occurrence of the alleged retaliatory action. If the
supervisor is involved, the notice should go to the Mayor. If the Mayor is
involved, the notice should go to the City Attorney. The written charge
shall specify the alleged retaliatory action and the relief requested.
(2) The Mayor or his/her designee, as the case may be, shall investigate the
complaint and respond in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
written charge. Additional time to respond may be necessary depending
on the nature and complexity of the complaint.
(3) After receiving the City's response, the employee may request a hearing
before a state administrative law judges (ALJ) to establish that a
retaliatory action occurred and to obtain appropriate relief under the law.
The request for hearing must be delivered within the earlier of either
fifteen (15) days of receipt of the City's response to the charge of
retaliatory action or forty-five (45) days of receipt of the charge of
retaliation to the Mayor for response.
(4) Within five (5) working days of receipt of a request for hearing the City
shall apply to the State Office of Administrative Hearing's for an
adjudicative proceeding before an administrative law judge.

(5) At the hearing, the employee must prove that a retaliatory action occurred
by a preponderance of the evidence in the hearing. The ALJ will issue a
final decision not later than forty-five (45) days after the date of the
request for hearing, unless an extension is granted.
The Mayor or designee is responsible for implementing these policies and procedures.
This includes posting the policy on the City bulletin board, making the policy available to
any employee upon request, and providing the policy to all newly hired employees.
Officers, managers and supervisors are responsible for ensuring the procedures are
fully implemented within their areas of responsibility.
56
Packet Page 441 of 488
Violations of this policy and these procedures may result in appropriate disciplinary
action, up to and including dismissal.
10.4 POLITICAL ACTIVITIES City employees may participate in political or partisan
activities of their choosing provided that City resources and property are not utilized,
and the activity does not adversely affect the responsibilities of the employees in their
positions. Employees may not campaign on City time or in a City uniform or while
representing the City in any way. Employees may not allow others to use City facilities
or funds for political activities without a paid rental agreement.
Any City employee who meets with or may be observed by the public or otherwise
represents the City to the public, while performing his/her regular duties, may not wear
or display any button, badge or sticker relevant to any candidate or ballot issue during
working hours. Employees shall not solicit, on City property or City time, for a
contribution for a partisan political cause.
Except as noted in this policy, City employees are otherwise free to fully exercise their
constitutional First Amendment rights.
10.5 NO SMOKING POLICY The City maintains a smoke -free workplace. No
smoking of tobacco products or electronic smoking devices is permitted anywhere in the
City's buildings or vehicles, and offices or other facilities rented or leased by the City. If
an employee chooses to smoke, it must be done outside at least 25 feet from
entrances, exits, windows that open, and ventilation air intakes.
10.6 PERSONAL POSSESSIONS AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
The City cannot assume responsibility for any theft or damage to the personal
belongings of City employees. Therefore, the City requests that employees avoid
bringing valuable personal articles to work. Employees are solely responsible for
ensuring that their personal belongings are secure while at work. Employees should
have no expectation of privacy as to any items or information generated/stored on City
systems. Employees are advised that work -related searches of an employee's work
area, workspace, computer and electronic mail on the City's property may be conducted
without advance notice. The City reserves the right to search employee desks, lockers
and personal belongings brought onto City premises if necessary. Employees who do
not consent to inspections may be subject to discipline, up to and including immediate
termination.
Please see Attachment A - INFORMATION SERVICES - ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY -
for guidelines on use of City computers.
10.7 USE OF TELEPHONES AND CITY VEHICLES Use of City phones and
City cellular phones for local personal phone calls and text messaging should be kept to
a minimum; long distance personal use is prohibited. Other City equipment, including
vehicles, should be used by employees for City business only, unless otherwise
57
Packet Page 442 of 488
approved by the Department Director. Employees' misuse of City services, telephones,
vehicles, equipment or supplies can result in disciplinary action up to and including
termination. The City reminds employees that Washington state law restricts the use of
cell phones and PDA's while driving. Employees must comply with applicable laws
while engaging in work for the City.
10.8 BULLETIN BOARDS Information of special interest to all employees is
posted regularly on the City bulletin boards. Employees may not post any information
on these bulletin boards without the authorization of the Department Head.
10.9 MEDIA RELATIONS The Mayor or designated department heads shall be
responsible for all official contacts with the news media during working hours, including
answering of questions from the media. The Mayor or department head may designate
specific employees to give out procedural, factual or historical information on particular
subjects.
10.10 USE OF SAFETY BELTS Per Washington law, anyone operating or riding in
City vehicles must wear seat belts at all times.
10.11 DRIVER'S LICENSE REQUIREMENTS As part of the requirements for
certain specific City positions, an employee may be required to hold a valid Washington
State Driver's license and/or a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). If an employee fails
his or her CDL physical examination or the license is revoked, suspended or lost, or is
in any other way not current, valid, and in the employee's possession, the employee
shall promptly notify his/her department head and will be immediately suspended from
driving duties. The employee may not resume driving until proof of a valid, current
license is provided to his/her department head. Depending on the duration of license
suspension, revocation or other inability to drive, an employee may be subject to
disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Failure on the part of an employee
to notify their department director of the revocation, suspension, or loss of driving
privileges may subject the employee to disciplinary action, up to and including
termination.
10.12 SOLICITATIONS Most forms of selling and solicitations are inappropriate in
the workplace. They can be an intrusion on employees and citizens and may present a
risk to employee safety or to the security of City or employee property. The following
limitations apply:
Persons not employed by the City may not solicit, survey, petition, or distribute literature
on our premises at any time. This includes persons soliciting for charities,
salespersons, questionnaire surveyors, labor union organizers, or any other solicitor or
distributor. Exceptions to this rule may be made in special circumstances where the
City determines that an exception would serve the best interests of the organization and
our employees. An example of an exception might be the United Way campaign or a
similar, community -based fund raising effort.
Packet Page 443 of 488
Employees may not solicit for any purpose during work time. Reasonable forms of
solicitation are permitted during non -work time, such as before or after work or during
meal or break periods. Soliciting employees who are on non -work time may not solicit
other employees who are on work time. Employees may not distribute literature for any
purpose during work time or in work areas, or through the City's electronic systems.
The employee lunchroom is considered a non -work area under this policy.
10.13 USE OF CITY CREDIT Unless otherwise authorized by City policy or
specifically authorized by the Mayor, no City employee is authorized to commit the City
to any contractual agreement, especially an agreement that lends the City's credit in
any way. Employees are prohibited from conducting personal business with companies
in any way which improperly implies the employee is acting as an agent of the City.
10.14 SUBSTANCE ABUSE The City's philosophy on substance abuse has two
focuses: (1) a concern for the well being of the employee and (2) a concern for the
safety of other employees and members of the public.
As part of our employee assistance program, we encourage employees who are
concerned about their alcohol or drug use to seek counseling, treatment and
rehabilitation. Although the decision to seek diagnosis and accept treatment is
completely voluntary, the City is fully committed to helping employees who voluntarily
seek assistance to overcome substance abuse problems. In most cases, the expense
of treatment may be fully or partially covered by the City's benefit program. Please see
the EAP counselor for more information. In recognition of the sensitive nature of these
matters, all discussions will be kept confidential. Employers who seek advice or
treatment will not be subject to retaliation or discrimination.
Although the City is concerned with rehabilitation, it must be understood that disciplinary
action may be taken when an employee's job performance is impaired because he/she
is under the influence of drugs or alcohol on the job. The City may discipline or
terminate an employee possessing, consuming, selling or using alcohol, or controlled
substances (other than legally prescribed) during work hours or on City premises,
including break times and meal periods. The City may also discipline or terminate an
employee who reports for duty or works under the influence of alcohol or controlled
substances. Employees may also not report for work when their performance is
impaired by the use of prescribed or over-the-counter medications.
The City reserves the right to search employee work areas, offices, desks, filing
cabinets etc. to ensure compliance with this policy. Employees shall have no
expectation of privacy in such areas.
Any employee who is convicted of a criminal drug violation in the workplace must notify
the organization in writing within five calendar days of the conviction. The organization
will take appropriate action within 30 days of notification. Federal contracting agencies
will be notified when appropriate.
59
Packet Page 444 of 488
Testing: Certain employees of the City, including those who must possess CDLs or
who have safety sensitive positions, are subject to random drug and alcohol testing.
Any employee may also be required to submit to alcohol or controlled substance testing
when the City has reasonable suspicion that the employee is under the influence of
controlled substances or alcohol. Refusal to submit to testing, when requested, may
result in immediate disciplinary action, including termination. The City may also choose
to pursue criminal charges, if violations of law are suspected.
The City has adopted Drug and Alcohol Testing Policies and Procedures, which more
specifically describe the City's substance abuse policy, and these are incorporated
herein by reference as Appendix B.

Hi Debi,
I believe you are looking for Ordinance 3689 (attached) that was adopted in May 2008 that relates to "conflict of
interest", former employees, etc.
I did a quick word search for anything to do with "ethics" and nothing came up. Also, I do not recall any other ordinance
that may apply. If I come across anything, I will be sure to let you know.

Hi Sandy:
I know you are too busy for words but I need help when you get a chance. At last night's PS/HR Committee meeting,
Wilson and Bernheim reviewed the Ethics Board issue. They requested that I supply the ordinance that apparently was
prepared when Don Fiene went from being an employee to working for a private company. No idea what this is about.
Don left our employment 4/08 if that helps. If you can think of any other ordinance that might deal with ethics, that
would be appreciate also.
Thank you.

to watch the January 23 joint meeting with the Planning Board, Economic Development Commission and the
consultant. With regard to student volunteers, he recalled his son was a student volunteer on the skate park and
worked three years to design and build it. He used that experience in college. If the Council pursues a parks
levy, he recommended including a project for students in order to engage them in campaigning for the levy. He
agreed with Mr. Hertrich's suggestion for the Council to appoint a representative to the School District and also
suggested Councilmembers attend the Superintendent's monthly roundtable meetings.
Councilmember Bloom explained she wanted the Council to adopt an ethics policy that addresses
board/commission, elected officials and staff. There are many policies in Washington could be adapted for
Edmonds. The next step is to form an ethics committee; if a citizen has a question about something such as a
conflict of interest, they can go to the ethics committee and determine whether something is potentially an ethics
violation. She recommended the Council, 1) adopt an ethics policy, and 2) form an ethics committee. She sought
Council approval for the Public Safety & Personnel Committee to pursue this.
Ms. Hite explained the recently adopted personnel policy has an extensive ethics policy for employees; that is
the best place for policies regarding employees. She encouraged the Council to develop an ethics policy for
boards/commissions and elected officials but not to include employees.
Discussion followed regarding other cities' ethics policies, past unsuccessful efforts to develop a code of ethics
policy, developing a policy with enough examples to provide direction, and the difference between a code of
conduct and code of ethics.
Summary: Refer development of code of ethics to Public Safety and Personnel Committee.
11. POTENTIAL ACTION AS A RESULT OF MEETING IN EXECUTIVE SESSION
No action.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
Based on yesterday's discussion regarding public comment at committee meetings, Council President Petso
distributed language for committee meeting notices and asked Councilmember to submit comments/concerns to
Ms. Chase.
The retreat was adjourned at 11:37 p.m.

Packet Page 453 of 488
Action: Take item to full Council for further discussion after draft discussion points and
possible ordinance language received from Officer Dawson.
C. Discussion and potential action regarding possible amendment of City
Code 8.48, Parking, Paragraph 8.48.215 B.2.
Joan Ferebee, Court Administrator, explained she attended a Parking Committee
Meeting to bring to their attention the difficulty the Municipal Court is experiencing with
the section of the City Code that allows citizens who receive a parking ticket to pay a
reduced fine if the individual pays the fine by the end of the next business day after the
issuance of the parking ticket. Generally, the Court does not have the tickets in their
system that quickly. Therefore, the individuals can become very angry and upset when
they come to the Municipal Court and are not able to pay. Ms. Ferebee stated that the
Parking Committee recommended removing the section of the Code that allows for a
reduced fine if it is paid by the end of the next business day.
Councilmember Peterson stated that he was in agreement with eliminating the reduced
fine. He stated that he would work with the City Attorney to create an ordinance to place
on the consent agenda. Councilmember Bloom was in agreement.
Action: Councilmember Peterson will work with the City Attorney to create an ordinance
eliminating the reduced fine. The Ordinance is to be placed on a future Consent Agenda
for approval.
D. Student and Senior Volunteers
Councilmember Bloom stated she would like to support the Boards and Commissions in
obtaining student volunteers. She suggested that a senior volunteer could assist Jana
Spellman, Senior Executive Council Assistant, in getting the word out to the various
schools.
Councilmember Peterson suggested Ms. Spellman could email the school board or a
volunteer coordinator in the school system to determine if there are students interested
in volunteering. Councilmember Bloom suggested a senior volunteer could work with
Jana to develop a framework for contacting all of the schools with the appropriate person
to contact and to advertise.
Councilmember Peterson cautioned that managing a volunteer can take more time. He
suggested talking with the Council President as she is in charge of Ms. Spellman's
schedule.
Councilmember Bloom also recalled that at the Council Retreat, Councilmember
Johnson suggested an event be held to recognize city volunteers. Councilmember
Bloom stated she will discuss with the Mayor the idea of scheduling a yearly event.
E. Ethics Board and Code of Ethics
Councilmember Bloom suggested narrowing down the list of sample policies from other
cities for the City Attorney to work with in developing the policy for Edmonds. She
suggested using the policies from the cities of Bainbridge Island, Lynnwood and Monroe.
Public Safety & Personnel Committee

Packet Page 454 of 488
Councilmember Bloom stated that she would like the policy to include appointed officials
(directors) in addition to elected officials and members of boards and commissions.
Councilmember Peterson stated that he did not think the policy needed to address
appointed officials (directors) as they answer to the Mayor.
The Committee concluded that a further discussion on a Code of Ethics policy would be
scheduled for the April Committee Meeting to determine which policy will be sent to the
City Attorney.
F. Discussion regarding taking minutes during Council Committee Meetings.
Councilmember Peterson stated that if detailed/complete minutes are desired it would be
necessary to pay someone to attend the meetings for this purpose. If action minutes are
prepared (which is the way it has generally always been done), then he did not think
councilmembers should take the minutes as it is difficult to participate in the discussion
and take minutes.
Councilmember Bloom agreed that councilmembers should not take minutes.
After discussion, Councilmembers Bloom and Peterson agreed on the following
recommendation:
• Action minutes for committee meetings, prepared by staff members in
attendance.
• If a controversial item is scheduled, arrangements for more detailed minutes will
be made.
• Summary comments made by citizens should be included. Committee members
will summarize citizen comments if no staff is available.
• Work with Council President related to agenda items to make sure a staff
member is available for each item discussed at the committee meeting.
• Committee minutes are to be forwarded to committee chairs for review (as time
allows).
G. Public Comments
There were no public comments.
The committee meeting adjourned at 8:17 p.m.

Packet Page 455 of 488
Councilmember Peterson suggested dropping reference to 2.10.050 in this section of the
code.
Councilmember Bloom next pointed out that 2.10.050 refers to both finance director and
community services director, however the title of the section does not reflect this.
Further, Councilmember Bloom believes the positions of Executive Assistant to the
Council and the Mayor's Executive Assistant should not be part of this chapter as they
are not City Officers.
Committee members agreed to request the City Attorney to determine if these positions
should be in a different section of the code.
D. Discussion regarding Code of Ethics.
Committee members discussed ethics policies from Bainbridge Island, Lynnwood and
Kirkland.
Councilmember Bloom referred to the policy from Bainbridge Island and would like to
include the requirement for members to "disclose a conflict of interest" as a standing
requirement at all city meetings for all officials. Councilmember Peterson commented
that he believes the Council does a good job at this disclosure; however, having it on
each agenda is a good reminder.
Further discussion occurred related to policies, including the possible consideration of a
Code of Ethics Officer.
After discussion the committee agreed to forward to the next work session of the City
Council the Bellevue and Kirkland ethics policies and the Kirkland Code of Conduct for
discussion. The committee also recommended including the statement from Bainbridge
Island related to disclosure of conflict of interest for all officials. After full Council
discussion, direction can then be given to the City Attorney on how to proceed.
Ms. Hite indicated she would bring back information on a Code of Ethics Officer.
The meeting adjourned at 8:07 p.m.

A. In addition to Section 3.92.030 of the Code of Ethics, which shall be
administered by the Ethics Officer, Officials shall comply with the following
standards:
Compliance with other laws. Officials shall comply with Federal, State and City laws
in the performance of their public duties. These laws include, but are not limited to:
rd
Packet Page 462 of 488
1336-ORD
06/05/13
The United States and Washington constitutions; laws pertaining to conflicts of
interest, election campaigns, financial disclosures and open processes of
government; and City ordinances and policies. See Appendix A. Officials shall
comply with the requirements of RCW 42.17.020 through .060 regarding contract
interests. As required by RCW 42.17.750, no Official shall knowingly solicit or
encourage, directly or indirectly, any political contribution from any City employee.
Except under limited circumstances described in RCW 42.17.130, no Official may
use or authorize the use of the facilities of the City for the purpose of assisting a
campaign for the election of any person to office, or form the promotion of or
opposition to any ballot proposition in a manner not available to the general public
on the same terms.
B. Officials are also encouraged to comply with the following standards:
1. Personal Integrity. The professional and personal conduct of Officials
must be above reproach and avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Officials
shall refrain from abusive conduct, threats of official action, personal accusations or
verbal attacks upon the character or motives of other members of Council, boards
and commissions, the staff or public. Officials shall maintain truthfulness and
honesty and not compromise themselves for advancement, honor, or personal gain.
Additionally, Officials shall not directly or indirectly induce, encourage or aid anyone
to violate this Code of Ethics and it is incumbent upon Officials to make a good faith
effort to address apparent violations of this Code of Ethics.
2. Working for the Common Good. Recognizing that stewardship of the
public interest must be their primary concern, Officials will work for the common
good of the people of Bellevue and not for any private or personal interest, and they
will ensure fair and equal treatment of all persons, claims and transactions coming
before the City Council, boards and commissions.
3. Respect for Process. Officials shall perform their duties in accordance
with the processes and rules of order established by the City Council and boards
and commissions governing the deliberation of public policy issues, meaningful
involvement of the public, and implementation of policy decisions of the City Council
by City staff.
4. Commitment to Transparency. Transparency, openness and
accountability are fundamental values of the City — and are also required by the laws
of the state of Washington. The public has a right to inspect and copy public records
unless exempt by law from disclosure. All materials relating to the conduct of City
government that are prepared, possessed, used or retained by any Official, including
Email and other electronic records, are subject to requirements for retention,
protection and disclosure. Officials may assume that all copies of materials received
from City staff have already been archived and do not need to be retained. Officials
shall not discard, damage or destroy the original copy of any public record unless
the City complies with the record retention schedules established under Chapter
40.14 RCW. In accordance with the requirements of state law Officials shall
5
Packet Page 463 of 488
1336-ORD
06/05/13
promptly provide any records requested by the Public Records Officer in response to
a disclosure request under the Public Records Act, Chapter 42.56 RCW. It is the
responsibility for the Public Records Officer together with the City Attorney, to decide
which records meet the definition of "public record" and whether or not such records
are exempt from disclosure; Officials must not take it upon themselves to decide
whether a record meets the definition of a public, record, that a record is exempt from
disclosure, or to otherwise conceal a record.
5. Conduct of Public Meetings. Officials shall prepare themselves for public
issues; listen courteously and attentively to all public discussions before the body;
and focus on the business at hand. They shall refrain from interrupting other
speakers; or otherwise interfering with the orderly conduct of meetings.
6. Decisions Based on Merit. Officials shall base their decisions on the
merits and substance of the matter at hand and on greater public policy
considerations, rather than on unrelated considerations.
7. Ex parte Communications. In quasi-judicial matters, Officials shall publicly
disclose substantive information that is relevant to a matter under consideration by
the Council or boards and commissions, which they may have received from
sources outside of the public decision -making process.
8. Attendance. As provided in RCW 35A.12.060, a Council Member shall
forfeit his or her office by failing to attend three consecutive regular meetings of the
Council without being excused by the Council. Unless excused, members of boards
and commissions are expected to attend all meetings.
9. Nepotism. The City Council will not appoint Relatives of City Council
Members to boards or commissions or other appointed positions.
10. Advocacy. When acting in an official capacity as a City Official
representing the City, Officials shall represent the official policies or positions of the
City Council, board or commission to the best of their ability when the City Council,
board or commission has taken a position or given an instruction. When a City
Official is appointed to fill an Official role on a governing body in a capacity that is
not dependent upon their status as a City of Bellevue Official, but, for example, as a
representative of a geographic area, the Official shall endeavor to represent the
policies or positions consistent with those of the constituency he or she has been
appointed to represent. When presenting their individual opinions and positions,
members shall explicitly state they do not represent their body or the Gity of
Bellevue, nor will they allow the inference that they do. Officials have the right to
endorse candidates for all Council seats or other elected offices. It is inappropriate
to make or display endorsements during Council meetings, board/commission
meetings, or other official City meetings. However, this does not preclude Officials
from participating in ceremonial occasions, community events or other events
sponsored by civic groups.

would not violate the Code of Ethics, and the Official's conduct is
consistent with the advisory opinion. The Ethics Officer reserves the right
to reconsider the questions and issues raised in an advisory opinion and,
where the public interest requires, rescind, modify, or terminate the
opinion, but a modified or terminated advisory opinion will not form the
basis of a retroactive enforcement action against the original requestor.

Ethics Officer's authority, the remainder of the opinion shall remain
intact.
E. All Officials subject to this chapter are strongly encouraged to seek
advisory opinions from the Ethics Officer at the earliest possible

Ethics Requirements for Advisory Commissions and Committees
The Bainbridge Island Ethics Program (revised March 23, 2011) now applies to the citizen
members of advisory commissions and committees as well as city officials. Accordingly, advisory group
members must comply with the requirements of the Code of Ethics in Article II of the Ethics Program.
These requirements are summarized below; please consult the Code of Ethics for specific language and
details of the requirements.
1. Gifts and Compensation. An advisory group member and his or her immediate family
members may not accept gifts related to the advisory group member's services to the city, with some
exceptions including unsolicited gifts of trivial value.
2. Confidentiality. An advisory group member or former member may not disclose or use
privileged, confidential or proprietary information obtained in the course of his or her duties as a member.
3. Conflict of Interest. An advisory group member may not act officially on a matter in which
the member or an immediate family member has any substantial employment related to the matter or
other financial or private interest in the matter, or is party to a contract or owns an interest in property that
would be significantly affected by the action. However, if the member fully discloses the conflict on the
public record, the commission or committee may vote to allow the member to participate in discussion or
vote. Members of advisory groups shall sign a conflict of interest statement upon appointment and
reappointment.
4. Conduct of Public Meetings. Advisory group meetings should be conducted in a manner
that maximizes transparency of relationships that could affect decision -making. Meetings should have a
standing agenda item for members to disclose relationships with persons and issues on the agenda, and
members should discuss these relationships to judge whether a conflict of interest exists.

ensure that the highest standards and best practices with regard to ethics will be
followed.
(b) Intent. The citizens and businesses of Kirkland are entitled to have fair, ethical
and accountable local government that has earned the public's full confidence. In

(3) Public office be used for the public good, not for personal gain; and

Packet Page 471 of 488
officer, director, trustee, partner or employee. Officials shall abstain from participating in
deliberations and decision -making where conflicts exist. This section shall not apply (1)
to decisions regarding taxes or fees, (2) if the financial interest is shared with more than
ten percent of the city's population, or (3) if the financial interest exists solely because of
the official's ownership of less than one percent of the outstanding shares of a publicly
traded corporation.
(b) Appearance of Conflict. If it could appear to a reasonable person, having
knowledge of the relevant circumstances, that the official's judgment is impaired
because of either (1) a personal or business relationship not covered under the

official shall make a public, written disclosure of the facts giving rise to the appearance
of a conflict before participating in the matter.

the official in his or her official capacity; provided, that nothing shall prohibit campaign
contributions which are solicited or received and reported in accordance with applicable
law. They shall not accept or solicit any gifts, favors or promises of future benefits
except as allowed by Section 3.80.140.
(g) Confidential Information. Officials shall not disclose or use any confidential
information gained by reason of their official position for other than a city purpose.
"Confidential information" means (1) specific information, rather than generalized
knowledge, that is not available to a person who files a public records request, and (2)
information made confidential by law. (Ord. 4348 § 1 (Exh. A) (part), 2012)
3.14.040 Financial disclosure statements.
All officials, except members of the city council, shall file a city of Kirkland disclosure
statement annually. In accordance with Chapter 42.17 RCW, members of the Kirkland
city council shall disclose investments, interests in real property, sources of income, and
creditors through the filing of a Public Disclosure Commission Form F-1, "Personal
Financial Affairs Statement." Members of boards and commissions shall be advised, as
part of the application process, that they will be required to file the applicable city of
Attachment 11 2
Packet Page 472 of 488
Kirkland disclosure statement within ten days of appointment. (Ord. 4348 § 1 (Exh. A)
(part), 2012)
3.14.050 Ethical standards.
In addition to Section 3.14.030 of the code of ethics, which shall be administered by
the ethics officer, officials are also encouraged to comply with the following standards:
(1) Compliance with Other Laws. Officials shall comply with federal, state and city
laws in the performance of their public duties. These laws include, but are not limited to:
the United States and Washington Constitutions; laws pertaining to conflicts of interest,
election campaigns, financial disclosures and open processes of government; and city
ordinances and policies. See Appendix A. As required by RCW 42.17.750, no official
shall knowingly solicit or encourage, directly or indirectly, any political contribution from
any city employee. Except under limited circumstances described in RCW 42.17.130,
no official may use or authorize the use of the facilities of the city for the purpose of
assisting a campaign for the election of any person to any office, or for the promotion of
or opposition to any ballot proposition in a manner not available to the general public on
the same terms.
(2) Personal Integrity. The professional and personal conduct of officials must be
above reproach and avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Officials shall refrain
from abusive conduct, threats of official action, personal accusations or verbal attacks
upon the character or motives of other members of council, boards and commissions,
the staff or public. Officials shall maintain truthfulness and honesty and not compromise
themselves for advancement, honor, or personal gain. Additionally, officials shall not
directly or indirectly induce, encourage or aid anyone to violate the code of ethics and it
is incumbent upon officials to make a good faith effort to address apparent violations of
this code of ethics.
(3) Working for the Common Good. Recognizing that stewardship of the public
interest must be their primary concern, officials will work for the common good of the
people of Kirkland and not for any private or personal interest, and they will ensure fair
and equal treatment of all persons, claims and transactions coming before the city
council, boards and commissions. Officials need to be mindful that making special
requests of staff —even when the response does not benefit the official personally —puts
staff in an awkward position.
(4) Respect for Process. Officials shall perform their duties in accordance with the
processes and rules of order established by the city council and board and commissions
governing the deliberation of public policy issues, meaningful involvement of the public,
and implementation of policy decisions of the city council by city staff.
(5) Commitment to Transparency. Transparency, openness, and accountability are
fundamental values of the city —and are also required by the laws of the state of
Washington. The public has a right to inspect and copy public records unless exempt by
law from disclosure. All materials relating to the conduct of city government that are
prepared, possessed, used or retained by any official, including email and other
electronic records, are subject to requirements for retention, protection, and disclosure.
Officials may assume that all copies of materials received from city staff have already
been archived and do not need to be retained. Officials shall not discard, damage, or
destroy the original copy of any public record unless directed by the city public records
officer (the city clerk), who has responsibility to ensure that the city complies with the
Attachment 11 3
Packet Page 473 of 488
record retention schedules established under Chapter 40.14 RCW. Officials shall
promptly provide any records requested by the public records officer in response to a
disclosure request under the Public Records Act, Chapter 42.56 RCW. It is the
responsibility of the public records officer, together with the city attorney, to decide
which records meet the definition of "public record" and whether or not they are exempt
from disclosure; officials must not take it upon themselves to decide whether a record
meets the definition of a public record, that a record is exempt from disclosure, or to
otherwise conceal a record.
(6) Conduct of Public Meetings. Officials shall prepare themselves for public issues;
listen courteously and attentively to all public discussions before the body; and focus on
the business at hand. They shall refrain from interrupting other speakers; making
personal comments not germane to the business of the body; or otherwise interfering
with the orderly conduct of meetings.
(7) Decisions Based on Merit. Officials shall base their decisions on the merits and
substance of the matter at hand, rather than on unrelated considerations.
(8) Ex Parte Communications. In quasi-judicial matters, officials shall publicly
disclose substantive information that is relevant to a matter under consideration by the
council or boards and commissions, which they may have received from sources
outside of the public decision -making process.
(9) Attendance. As provided in RCW 35A.12.060, a council member shall forfeit his
or her office by failing to attend three consecutive regular meetings of the council
without being excused by the council. Unless excused, members of boards and
commissions are expected to attend all meetings.
(10) Nepotism. The city council will not appoint relatives of city council members to
boards or commissions or other appointed positions.
(11) Advocacy. When acting in an official capacity as a city official representing the
city, officials shall represent the official policies or positions of the city council, board or
commission to the best of their ability when the city council, board or commission has
taken a position or given an instruction. When presenting their individual opinions and
positions, members shall explicitly state they do not represent their body or the city of
Kirkland, nor will they allow the inference that they do. Officials have the right to
endorse candidates for all council seats or other elected offices. It is inappropriate to
make or display endorsements during council meetings, board/commission meetings, or
other official city meetings. However, this does not preclude officials from participating it
ceremonial occasions, community events, or other events sponsored by civic groups.
(12) Policy Role of Officials. Officials shall respect and adhere to the council-
manager structure of Kirkland city government as outlined by Chapter 35A.13 RCW. In
this structure, the city council determines the policies of the city with the advice,
information and analysis provided by the public, boards and commissions, and city staff.
Except as provided by state law, officials shall not interfere with the administrative
functions of the city or the professional duties of city staff; nor shall they impair the
ability of staff to implement council policy decisions.

3.14.060 Ethics officer.
(a) The city council creates the position of ethics officer. The city manager will
contract with one or more agencies to fill this position. The ethics officer will provide for
annual review of the code of ethics, review of training materials provided for education
regarding the code of ethics, and advisory opinions concerning the code of ethics. The
ethics officer shall also be responsible for the prompt and fair enforcement of its
provisions when necessary.
(b) The ethics officer, in addition to other duties, may recommend changes or
additions to this code of ethics to the city council. The ethics officer shall provide input
into and review the training materials and program developed for this code of ethics.
(Ord. 4348 § 1 (Exh. A) (part), 2012)
3.14.070 Advisory opinions.
(a) Upon request of any official, the ethics officer shall render written advisory
opinions concerning the applicability of Sections 3.14.030 and 3.14.040 of this code to
hypothetical circumstances and/or situations solely related to the persons making the
request. The ethics officer will not render opinions on matters that are the purview of
Attachment 11
Packet Page 475 of 488
61
other government agencies or officials, e.g., the public disclosure commission, the city
public records officer, etc.
(b) Upon request of any official, the ethics officer may also render written advisory
opinions concerning the applicability of the code of ethics to hypothetical circumstances
and/or situations related to a matter of city-wide interest or policy.
(c) The ethics officer will endeavor to respond to requests for advisory opinions
within forty-five days of submission of the request, or more rapidly if the requester
expresses urgency in the request.
(d) A person's conduct based in reasonable reliance on an advisory opinion
rendered by the ethics officer shall not be found to violate this code of ethics, as long as
all material facts have been fully, completely, accurately presented in a written request
for an advisory opinion, the ethics officer issues an advisory opinion that the described
conduct would not violate the code of ethics, and the person's conduct is consistent with
the advisory opinion. The ethics officer reserves the right to reconsider the questions
and issues raised in an advisory opinion and, where the public interest requires,
rescind, modify, or terminate the opinion, but a modified or terminated advisory opinion
will not form the basis of a retroactive enforcement action against the original requestor.
Advisory opinions will contain severability clauses indicating that should portions of the
opinion be found to be unenforceable or not within the ethics officer's authority, the
remainder of the opinion shall remain intact. (Ord. 4348 § 1 (Exh. A) (part), 2012)
3.14.080 Complaints, investigations, hearings and enforcement.
The ethics officer shall resolve inadvertent and minor violations of the code of ethics
informally and may resolve inadvertent or minor violations informally, unless the ethics
officer determines that doing so would not serve the public interest. When a violation is
neither inadvertent nor minor, the ethics officer may initiate an action in accordance with
this section.
(1) Complaint Process.
(A) Complaint Requirements —Service. Any person may submit a written complaint
to the ethics officer alleging one or more violations of this code of ethics by an official.
The complaint must set forth specific facts with enough precision and detail for the
ethics officer to make a determination of sufficiency. It must be signed under penalty of
perjury by the person(s) submitting it in a manner consistent with Chapter 9A.72 RCW.
(B) Finding of Sufficiency. The ethics officer shall make a determination of
sufficiency within thirty days of receipt of the written complaint. A complaint shall be
sufficient if the allegations, if established, would violate Section 3.14.030 or 3.14.040 of
this code. The ethics officer's determination is not reviewable. If the finding is one of
sufficiency of the complaint, then the ethics officer shall investigate the complaint as set
forth below.
(C) Dismissal. The ethics officer shall dismiss the complaint if the ethics officer
determines that the violation was inadvertent and minor; or a violation occurred, but
appropriate actions have been taken to fully address the allegedly unethical conduct.
(D) Notice. Notice of action by the ethics officer shall be provided as follows-
(i) Notice of a finding of insufficiency or dismissal of a complaint by the ethics officer
shall be sent to the person who made the complaint and the person complained against
within seven days of the decision by the ethics officer. A finding of insufficiency or
Attachment 11 6
Packet Page 476 of 488
dismissal of a complaint by the ethics officer is final and binding, and no administrative
or other legal appeal is available through the ethics officer.
(ii) Within seven days of the ethics officer rendering a finding of sufficiency, the city
clerk shall send notice to the person who made the complaint and the person
complained against, of the ethics officer's determination. If, after investigation, the ethics
officer has reason to believe that a material violation of Section 3.14.030 or 3.14.040
has occurred, the city clerk shall give notice of the public hearing which will be held to
determine if a violation has occurred. Notice shall be provided at least thirty days prior
to the date set for the hearing. The person complained against shall have the right to file
a written answer to the charge and to appear at the hearing with or without legal
counsel, submit testimony, be fully heard, and to examine and cross examine
witnesses.
(E) Stipulations. At any time after a complaint has been filed with the ethics officer,
the ethics officer may seek and make recommendations that the city council enter into a
stipulation with the person complained against. The recommended stipulation will
include the nature of the complaint, relevant facts, the reasons the ethics officer thinks a
stipulation is appropriate, an admission of the violation by the person complained
against, a promise by the person complained against not to repeat the violation, and if
appropriate, a recommended remedy or penalty. The recommended stipulation shall be
sent to the person who made the complaint and the person complained against and
forwarded to the city council for action.
(2) Conduct of Hearings.
(A) All hearings on complaints found to be sufficient by the ethics officer shall be
conducted by the hearing examiner. The hearing shall be informal, meaning that the
hearing examiner shall not be bound by the strict rules of evidence prevailing in courts
of law or equity. The hearing examiner may call witnesses on his or her own motion and
compel the production of books, records, papers, or other evidence as needed. To that
end, the hearing examiner shall issue subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum. All
testimony shall be under oath administered by the hearing examiner. The hearing
examiner may adjourn the hearing from time to time to allow for the orderly presentation
of evidence. The hearing examiner shall prepare an official record of the hearing,
including all testimony, which shall be recorded by mechanical device, and exhibits;
provided, that the hearing examiner shall not be required to transcribe such records
unless presented with a request accompanied by payment of the cost of transcription.
(B) Within thirty days after the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing examiner shall,
based upon a preponderance of the evidence, make and fully record in his or her
permanent records, findings of fact, conclusions of law, and his or her recommended
disposition. A copy of the findings, conclusions, and recommended disposition shall be
sent to the person who made the complaint and to the person complained against.
Additional copies of the findings, conclusions, and recommendations shall be forwarded
to the ethics officer and city council.
(3) City Council Action. Final city council action to decide upon stipulations and
recommendations from the ethics officer and findings, conclusions, and
recommendations from the hearing examiner shall be by majority vote in a public
meeting. If the proceeding involves a member of the city council, deliberations by the
council may be in executive session. The member of the council against whom the
Attachment 11 7
Packet Page 477 of 488
complaint was made will not participate in any executive session and shall not vote on
any matter involving him or herself. However, upon request of the member of the
council against whom the complaint was made, a public hearing or public meeting
before the council will be held on the issue of penalties.
(4) Disposition. In the event the hearing examiner finds that the person against
whom the complaint was made has violated the code of ethics, then the city council may
take any of the following actions by a majority vote of the council. The action of the city
council shall be final and not subject to further review or appeal except as may be
otherwise provided by law or as provided in subsection (5) of this section.
(A) Dismissal. Dismissal of the complaint without penalties.
(B) Referral. A complaint may be referred to another agency with jurisdiction over
the violation, such as the public disclosure commission. Final action on the complaint
may be stayed pending resolution of the matter by the agency to which it was referred.
(C) Admonition. An admonition shall be an oral non-public statement made by the
mayor, or his/her designee, or if the complaint is against the mayor, the deputy mayor or
his/her designee, to the official.
(D) Reprimand. A reprimand shall be administered to the official by a resolution of
reprimand by the city council. The resolution shall be prepared by the city council and
shall be signed by the mayor or, if the complaint is against the mayor, the deputy mayor.
(E) Censure. A resolution of censure shall be a resolution read personally to the
person in public. The resolution shall be prepared by the city council and shall be signed
by the mayor, or if the complaint is against the mayor, the deputy mayor. The person
shall appear at a city council meeting at a time and place directed by the city council to
receive the resolution of censure. Notice shall be given at least twenty calendar days
before the scheduled appearance at which time a copy of the proposed resolution of
censure shall be provided to the person. The resolution of censure shall be read
publicly, and the person shall not make any statement in support of, or in opposition
thereto, or in mitigation thereof. The resolution of censure shall be read at the time it is
scheduled whether or not the official appears as required.
(F) Removal —Member of Board or Commission or Other Appointed Task Group or
Committee. In the event the individual against whom the complaint was made is
currently a member of a city board or commission or other task group or committee,
appointed by the city council, the city council may, in addition to other possible penalties
set forth in this section, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Kirkland
Municipal Code, by a majority vote remove the individual from such board or
commission effective immediately.
(G) Civil Penalties. The city council may assess a civil penalty of up to one
thousand dollars or three times the economic value of anything received in violation of
this code of ethics or three times the economic value of any loss to the city, whichever is
greater. Any monetary penalty assessed civilly shall be placed in the city's general fund.
(H) Contract Void. As provided by RCW 42.23.050, any contract made in violation
of Chapter 42.23 RCW, "Code of ethics for municipal officers— contract interests," is
void.
(1) Other Penalties. The city council may impose a restriction, loss of a committee
assignment, or loss of appointment as a representative of the city for any regional or
Attachment 11 8
Packet Page 478 of 488
multijurisdictional body or membership on any board or commission which requires an
appointment or confirmation of an appointment by the city council.
(5) Review of Civil Penalties. If the city council orders an official to pay a civil
penalty, the official may seek a writ of review from the superior court pursuant to
Chapter 7.16 RCW, within thirty days of the city council's order.
(6) Protection Against Retaliation. Neither the city nor any official may take or
threaten to take, directly or indirectly, official or personal action, including but not limited
to discharge, discipline, personal attack, harassment, intimidation, or change in job,
salary, or responsibilities, against any person because that person files a complaint with
the ethics officer.
(7) Public Records. Records filed with the ethics officer become public records that
may be subject to inspection and copying by members of the public, unless an
exemption in law exists. To the extent required to prevent an unreasonable invasion of
personal privacy interests protected by RCW 42.56.230(2), identity information may be
redacted when an unsubstantiated complaint is made available in response to a public
records request; however, in each case, the justification for the redaction shall be
explained fully in writing. A finding by the ethics officer determining that a complaint is
sufficient shall contain at the beginning the following specific language:
NOTICE: ANY PORTION OF THIS FINDING DETERMINING SUFFICIENCY OF
ANY PORTION OF A COMPLAINT DOES NOT DETERMINE THE TRUTH OR
FALSITY OF THE ALLEGATIONS CONTAINED IN THE COMPLAINT FILED WITH
THE ETHICS OFFICER. THE ETHICS OFFICER HAS ONLY DETERMINED THAT
IF CERTAIN FACTS CONTAINED IN THE COMPLAINT ARE FOUND TO BE
TRUE DURING A LATER HEARING TO BE CONDUCTED BY THE HEARING
EXAMINER, THEN VIOLATION(S) OF THE CODE OF ETHICS MAY BE FOUND
TO HAVE OCCURRED.
The city shall release copies of any written reports resulting from an investigation of a
sustained complaint, any hearing examiner orders, and any written censures or
reprimands issued by the city council, in response to public records requests consistent
with Chapter 42.56 RCW and any other applicable public disclosure laws.
(8) Liberal Construction —Limitation Period —Effective Date.
(A) This code of ethics shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purpose and
policy and to supplement existing laws that relate to the same subject.
(B) Any action taken under this code of ethics must be commenced within three
years from the date of violation.
(C) This code of ethics shall take effect February 18, 2012. (Ord. 4348 § 1 (Exh. A)
(part), 2012)
Attachment 11 9
Packet Page 479 of 488
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 480 of 488
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.

7.12 Restrictions on Political Involvement by Staff
Bothell is a nonpartisan local government. Professional staff formulates recommendations
in compliance with Council policy for the good of the community, not influenced by political
factors. For this reason, it is very important to understand the restrictions of political involvement
of staff.
By working for the City, staff members do not surrender rights to be involved in political
activities. Employees may privately express their personal opinions. They may register to vote,
sign nominating or recall petitions, and they may vote in any election.
7.13 Council Attendance Policy
RCW 35A.13.020 (Council -Manager Plan of Government) directs us to RCW 35A.12.060
(Mayor -Council Plan of Government) - Vacancy for Nonattendance. A council position shall
become vacant if the Council Member fails to attend three consecutive regular meetings of the
council without being excused by the council.
At the start of each City Council meeting, the Mayor or City Clerk, or designee, will call the
roll. Any absent Council Member who has called the Mayor or City Manager's Office prior to
5:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting to advise of such absence will be deemed excused.
7.14 Attendance via Speakerphone (AVS)
From time to time, a Council Member will not be able to be physically present at a Council
meeting, but will want to be involved in the discussion and/or decision on a particular agenda item.
The procedure and guidelines for permitting a Council Member to attend a Council meeting via
speakerphone are as follows:
A. The Rare Occasion
Attendance via speakerphone should be the rare exception, not the rule, and AVS is limited
to two times per year per Council Member. Examples of situations where AVS would be
appropriate include, but are not limited to:
• An agenda item is time sensitive, and AVS is needed for a quorum;
• An agenda item is of very high importance to the Council Member that cannot be
physically present;
• It is important for all Council Members to be involved in a decision, but one Council
Member is unable to be physically present.
• AVS should be limited to one agenda item, not the entire Council meeting.
