AgendaTopic Public Hearing on Addition of Minor Development Code Amendment Process in ECDC
20.80
I encourage City Council to review the 2021 and 2022 Budget discussions and Budget
approvals and inquire as to whether the DEVELOPMENT CODE REWRITE WORK PLAN
presented to City Council during the September 27, 2022 Council Meeting was
consistent with those Budgets. The September 27, 2022 City Council Meeting Minutes
document that City Council had a DEVELOPMENT CODE REWRITE WORK PLAN on
Council's September 27, 2022 City Council Meeting Agenda. Please note use of the
term used for many years: REWRITE What we call the project is material. We have
budgeted for something much more significant than a Code Modernization on
multiple occasions. Calling it something different than what it is and what it has long
been called paints a misleading and incomplete picture of what has long been needed.
The September 27, 2022 City Council Meeting Minutes document that Council never
voted to approve the DEVELOPMENT CODE REWRITE WORK PLAN. I don't understand
why City Staff has moved forward before getting their proposed Work Plan approved.
Specific to the minor code amendment discussion, whereas I can see this may provide
opportunities for efficiency, I'm not sure State Law allows Code Cities to legislate via
Comments Omnibus. Councilmember Susan Paine called what City Staff wants to do with Minor
Code Amendments an Omnibus during City Council's meeting on February 7, 2023.
Omnibus is defined as: A large, single document bill that is accepted in a single vote by
a legislature but packages together several measures into one or combines diverse
subjects. RCW 35A.12.130 states that no Ordinance shall contain more than one
subject and that must be clearly expressed in its title. I encourage City Council to
inquire whether it can legislate via omnibus. I also encourage City Council to obtain
legal support for the representation that scrivener's errors can be addressed directly
with Code Publishing. I know our City Code does not allow that. If State Law allows
such, I encourage City Officials to provide the State Law reference. Please do not
simply allow staff to determine what is a scrivener's error without Council discussing
and voting on in an Open Public meeting. Please recall what happened when
Ordinance 3740 was adopted. I encourage City Council to give staff's DEVELOPMENT
CODE REWRITE WORK PLAN deep thought. Please seek citizen input, review related
laws and eventually vote on whether to approve a DEVELOPMENT CODE REWRITE
WORK PLAN. Whatever plan is approved, please make sure to budget appropriately
and please require City Staff to provide regular status updates to citizens.

AgendaTopic Audience Comments for February 21, 2023 Regular Meeting
Please vote the Risk Management Policy discussion off the Consent Agenda and have
a broader discussion about Risk Management. Edmonds City Government has
established a history of pushing issues against its own citizens and blaming such
conduct on so called "liability issues". This begs the question: What is more important,
the City's laws or concerns about "liability issues". Voting this discussion off the
Consent Agenda will also allow for discussion of whether it is appropriate for the City
to be affiliated with the WCIA. Does the City or WCIA have the authority to go "well
beyond" the Court and Hearing Examiner's Orders? Is this fair to other citizens — those
citizens negatively impacted by the City and WCIA's willingness to go "well beyond"
the Court and Hearing Examiner's orders? I emailed background materials evidencing
this conduct earlier today. WCIA proclaims it "aggressively manages members'
financial risk". Should Edmonds citizens be exposed to WCIA's aggressive practices?
Please give these questions deep thought and attention. Please also vote the
Development Fees update off the consent agenda to discuss the Right -of -Way Fees
Comments section in greater detail. What type of city easements are eligible for use permits and
encroachment permits? Can a third party get a permit to encroach into a city utility
easement? Can the City issue a permit to use a Temporary Construction Easement?
City staff accused me of failure to obtain an encroachment permit on a Temporary
Construction Easement. City staff did so before the Temporary Construction Easement
even existed. Does the City accept applications for encroachment permits to use a
Temporary Construction Easement? Does that concept seem a little strange to any of
my elected Councilmembers? The Development Fee scheduled for 2023 also does not
differentiate between open and unopened rights -of -way. Does the City issue permits
to use unopened Rights -of -way? If so, who can apply for a permit to use an unopened
right-of-way? Can a person with no ownership interest in the property get a permit to
use an unopened right-of-way? If so, how does the City respect the property owner's
legal right to use their property prior to the city improving and opening a street or
alley? I believe these are all very important questions that should have been answered
many years ago. Please seek answers to all these questions tonight. Thank you.

Presentations
Swift Program Update
Greg Stamatiou, Manager of Capital Development & Delivery, provided a status update on Swift Orange
Line construction. Construction was actively underway, with construction estimated to be complete in early
2024 and opening for service shortly thereafter. The Swift Blue Line expansion, 2 new stations at
Shoreline North / 185th Station, was at 90% design and was expected to start construction in Q2 2023. The
scoping study for the Swift Gold Line was underway. Work started for a Swift Green Line Expansion
station siting study.
Free Youth Transit Pass Implementation Update
Chris Simmons, Manager of System Planning, reported on the results of the Free Youth Transit Pass
program to date. Since the program went live on September 1, 2022, we were seeing more youth riders
and 13 routes had a higher -than -average percentage of youth boardings. Lost revenue was offset by grant
support and was forecasted to be a net positive in revenue. No security issues were noticeable and a few
operational issues with the new program had been worked out. Distribution of ORCA cards to high schools
was underway and middle school outreach would begin soon. 5,000 cards had been distributed and 4,000
more requested. Ongoing regional work regarding special use cases, such as personal care attendants
with youth riders was in progress.
Chief Executive Officer's Report
CEO Ilgenfritz presented the report. Sound Transit was evaluating a new set of opening dates and options
for light rail extensions to the Eastside, Lynnwood, and Federal Way. They were considering activating a
portion of the eastside line early and Lynnwood before the full East Link extension was complete, thereby
opening with half the expected amount of service to Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood. This
phased approach would impact agency plans to serve light rail and revise our service network beginning in
2024. Staff and leadership from both agencies are working closely to mitigate these impacts. Sound
Transit was scheduled to decide on the phased approach at their January 26 Board meeting. The Board
would be kept informed.

suspended on December 23 due to extreme ice conditions and was back to regular service on December
24. There were no major injuries or accidents. Dispatchers, drivers, facilities, and customer service teams
worked tirelessly to support customers.
Regarding agency security we started the recruitment phase for the new Transit Security Officer positions
The social worker was scheduled to start January 17. The Finance, Performance and Oversight
Committee could expect a more detailed report at their quarterly briefing.
The Everett Transit/Community Transit Joint Policy Committee would meet in February to review the draft
integrated service plan prepared by Nelson\Nygaard Consulting.
Delivery of the leased battery electric bus (BYD) was expected by the end of the week.
The new agency website was near completion. A preview of the site was available on the current website,
with an opportunity to provide feedback on the user experience. A switch over date to the new website
was expected to be in late January or early February.
In the past year, 75 coach operators were hired, losing 43 to attrition and 19 to promotions, providing a net

IL Lake Ballinger high water levels
Patrick Johnson — Stormwater Technician, Edmonds updated the Forum pertaining to the
water level in Lake Ballinger, he displayed a gauge from the Edmonds webpage showing the
water level elevation during 2021-2022 winter storms. During the holiday snow event,
precipitation froze, then melted and increased the lake level, which rose approximately 30
inches within the week. This caused Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace residents to experience
high water levels on the lake, and some flooding due to the high level rain fall and snow. He
shared pictures from the south end of the lake from local residents of lake flooding. He also
showed a picture of a property closest to the lake (uninhabited) and mentioned that the City of
Edmonds is looking into demolishing the building reconstructing the area for a green space.
Packet Pg. 16
6.2.d
Patrick remarked that lake level rise is a constant issue every winter.
Diane Buckshnis — Councilmember, Edmonds questioned if there is weir issue that's causing
the flooding, or anything that can be done or help with the flooding.
Laura Reed — Stormwater Program Manager, Mountlake Terrace
Responded that the issue of whether the weir was holding back water from the lake was
examined by the Army Corp of Engineers back in 2010, and they reported that physically
removing the weir would only affect the Lake by 0.1 of a foot. Even if the weir was completely
taken out, what is controlling the lake level is the 1-5 culvert.
Zack Richardson — Surface Water Engineer II, Shoreline — remarked that WSDOT will have
to replace the I-5 culvert.
Warren McAndrews — Edmonds resident, commented that from his research he understands that
WSDOT has to replace three of the culverts with a larger pipe across I-5 and the designs process
will start in 2023, with construction projected to start in 2025.
III. Review of Lake Ballinger Forum's work plan
Laura Reed, Stormwater Program Manager, discussed a list of projects that have benefit
for the watershed.
Current Forum Work Plan
• Develop hydraulic & hydrologic model from Hall Lake to Lake Ballinger (Hall
Creek model to be funded by MLT in 2022)
• Ballinger Park Hall Creek Restoration Project (USACE & MLT — at 95% design
phase; construction in 2023)
• Mathay - Ballinger Regional Infiltration Facility Project ( Edmonds- planning
phase)
• Lake Ballinger Aquatic Weed Control (MLT & Edmonds; Ecology grant will be
funded in 2022)
IV. Federal funding landscape
Jake Johnston — Johnston Group, commented on the Federal funding options that are
obtainable for the Forum. He focused on "what tools would be available to the Forum and
what tools have changed over the past few years." He stated if the Forum has projects that
fit into the habitat restoration category, new tools can be deployed. He expressed that over
the last few years there has been a radical reprioritization of watershed improvements
relating to federal and state funding priorities. Part of that is the emphasis on culvert fish
barrier removal that's happened in the state of Washington. He remarked that there is a
renewed focus on the types of issues that benefit watershed management.
Packet Pg. 17
6.2.d
1.) Congress has reinstated its ability to do directive funding. Within the FY22
development there is a limited number of grant opportunities. Congress is taking 1/2 of
1% from certain Federal discretionary grant accounts and determining where projects
should go, through an open and competitive process. This would be a great opportunity
to get a relatively low federal investment with very low federal oversight.
Grants are generally between $1 million to $3 million in scope, and they represent
roughly 50% of the total cost of a project. However, if the Forum is looking for
assistance to complete a project, or is challenged by a funding gap and isn't using other
sources of Federal money, this process is an excellent tool to explore.
2.) FY23 ear marking process is not yet opened, but expected to open mid -March with
applications due towards the end of April (timelines are estimated).
3.) The Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill was enacted in the fall of last year, and it has done
some distinctive things, some are material for the Forum to consider as it looks through
it projects.
a.) A new program (led by Congressman Rick Larson and Senator Maria Cantwell)
which the Forum has been advocating for many years, has been "authorized." It's
the first time a brand new Culvert Replacement Program was created and it has
received authorization for over the next five years at $750 million annually.
This is a top priority of the Forum's delegation, and it's to be used as a federal
match for some of the efforts taking place locally. It can also be used to augment
what is happening in Washington, with the renewed emphasis on funding made
available for these types of watershed replacement projects. This is a great new
federal program. However there's a downside to federal projects, and not a lot yet
about administering the program has been revealed. But it's an opportunity for the
Forum to make their voice heard, and to take a hard look and shape the program
as a useful tool for the Forum.
b.) Two federal programs that could be applicable tools to support with south end
flooding on the Lake Ballinger.
1. Property Acquisition Funding through FEMA — if the land needs to be acquired
there is Federal money that could assist with this on a relatively accessible basis.
2. Within the Infrastructure Bill Program there is a radical increase in funding for
a $1 billion annualized grant program (Administered by the Department of
Interior) competitive grant program only for municipalities. It is a water storage
and conveyance infrastructure program. If water storage capacity is part of the
plan for lake flooding management, this maybe another opportunity available
for the Forum.
Packet Pg. 18
6.2.d
Diane Buckshnis — Councilmember, Edmonds asked if there is anyone reaching out on how
to determine whether the Forum can be fast tracked on getting the culverts done, has anyone
reached out to federal legislatures.
Jake Johnston — Johnston Group, replied that the Forum as an entity and its members as
individual municipalities have been having a good conversation with the delegation for a
number of years, which has led to the federal funding opportunity to solve this problem. The
first action to begin with is identifying projects that need to be funded. The second goal was to
setup Federal funding opportunities in a way that makes them useful to the Forum.
V. On -going watershed plannin efforts
fforts
Laura Reed — Stormwater Program Manager, Mountlake Terrace — Expressed that Ecology
is requiring that all jurisdictions above a certain population size in western Washington do
an in-depth watershed inventory and complete data collection to be turned in by end of
March 2022. Laura stated that she is looking specifically at Hall, McAleer and Lyons Creek
watersheds in terms of which basin will be selected for future stormwater investment.
Currently, Hall Creek is at the top of her list.
Zack Richardson — Surface Water Engineer II, Shoreline commented that McAleer Creek
is a basin that will progress to the next stage of City of Shoreline's data analysis. However,
Boeing Creek is a strong candidate for stormwater investment because it's entirely in the
Shoreline jurisdiction. No final decision has been made as of yet.
Patrick Johnson — Stormwater Technician, Edmonds stated that Edmonds completed their
data collection process and public outreach process, and are waiting for the final survey
results to come in. Lake Ballinger, the Halls Creek basin are potential basins, as well as the
Edmonds Marsh, and the Shell/Hindley Creek watershed.
Andrew Silvia — Lake Forest Park Project Manager, commented that the City of Lake
Forest Park watershed inventory is being created by a consultant. They are prioritizing and
honing in on which watershed is the best candidate for future stormwater management
action efforts.
VI. Forum Support for 25th Ave NE/Ballinger Creek Project
Keith Scully — Mayor, Shoreline commented that the 25th Ave NE/Ballinger Creek area is not
within the same watershed that feeds Lake Ballinger and it's not technically within the Forum
jurisdiction. The site is an old maintenance yard inherited from King County along with arch -
shaped an undersized concrete pipe that goes under the road and carries the creek. This site is a
prime example of something done wrong to the environment that the City of Shoreline is making
an attempt to fix. The site has contaminated soil, a gas tank, and the creek is forced into a tiny
little spot, with zero habitat. The City received funding from the voters to look at potential for
restoration for the site and the park next to it, as a potential stormwater park. The City would
Packet Pg. 19
6.2.d
like to use this opportunity to restructure and incorporate some habitat enhancements.
The next phase of this project is to ask the Army Corp of Engineers for 100k to do a feasibility
study. The City of Shoreline would like petition to the Forum and ask for a letter of support.
This is intended to be a Shoreline, Army Corp of Engineers, and WDOT project for funding.
Mayor Scully believes the support of the Forum is crucial because of its relationship with the
Army Corp of Engineers and ultimately because the area in question is right next to Lake
Ballinger and this project is similar to some of the others the Army Corp had ongoing with the
Forum.
Zack Richardson, Surface Water Engineer II, Shoreline remarked that this is a really cool
project. The project proposes approximately 1,500 feet of in -stream restoration, which
starts at Brugger's Bog Park. Currently, the outlet of the creek is a zero -passage fish barrier
- no fish are getting through. The plan is to develop roughly 600 feet of new daylighted
stream channel, enhance habitat within 230 feet of new fish passable culvert, and restore
floodplain within adjacent City properties. The project also includes repair of a failing
WSDOT retaining wall adjacent to the lower stretches of creek.
Diane Buckshnis — Councilmember, Edmonds proposed a motion for the letter of support be
composed by the Forum for the City of Shoreline's project, which was voted upon and received
unanimous approval by the Forum.
VII. Announcements & Updates
Laura Reed, updated the Forum on the Lake Ballinger Ecosystem Restoration Project for
Mountlake Terrace. She announced that work is at 95% design submittal stage and is
undergoing formal review for permits and starting the contracting process. Earthwork on
the project will begin 2023.
I-5 Culvert Replacement, WSDOT is currently gathering preliminary design information
and design work will begin in 2023.
VIII. Public Comment
Warren McAndrews — Edmonds Resident, remarked that he continues to receive
complaints about the glare from the fishing pier. He also spoke of lakeshore residents'
concerns regarding a pontoon boat on Lake Ballinger, he wasn't sure if it was electric or
gas powered, but it was throwing a huge wave around. The lake has a ban on internal-
combustion engines, and he is asking whether it would be possible to add a no wake zone
rule for these type of boats.
Jeff Betz — Rec & Parks Director, Mountlake Terrace, remarked that there are jurisdictional
differences and code changes on Lake Ballinger concerning speed. In County code there is
a maximum of 8 miles per hour speed limit on the lake (also applies to multiple lakes within
the county.) The code for Edmonds indicates reasonable speed, do not disturb others, and
for Mountlake Terrace there is no code. He said: "We are looking into who has the ability
to make code changes but it will take some time."
Packet Pg. 20
6.2.d
Julie Rose — Edmonds Resident asked whether there were storage and conveyance
opportunities provided by the Ballinger Park Hall Creek Restoration project. She asked if
there were, if those project components could be added, since there is already funding.
Laura Reed — Stormwater Program Manager, Mountlake Terrace remarked that because of
the type of funding through the Army Corp of Engineers for this project (habitat restoration
only) adding flood storage not possible with this project.
Julie Rose — Edmonds Resident asked about public comment on the viewing platform on
the northwest corner of the lake.
Jeff Betz — Rec & Parks Director, Mountlake Terrace — Viewing platform design hasn't
started but it's anticipated to start this year. He said the process would involve public
comment.
Jake Johnston — Johnston Group, commented that Rob Larson is pleased with the work
between the Army Corp of Engineers and Mountlake Terrace.
IX. Determine Topics for next meeting
• Ways of increasing meeting announcements for more public input
• Possibility for WSDOT involvement in the Forum meetings. Warren said he would
reach out to his contact at WSDOT regarding it.
X. Determine date and location of next meeting
The next meeting will take place on May 17, 2022 at 2:00 pm on Zoom.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. McChesney read the following email comment from Gary Ostlund into the record:
"Let me thank you for your service to the boaters and to the community over the years. As a tenant
of the Port since the 1970's, I tell my friends, the Port of Edmonds is as good as there is in Puget
Sound and maybe beyond. My concern as a tenant is the method of rate increases used over the
years. The CPI has been used lately as the basis, so if the CPI is 9.5% and the Port adds 1 % to
Packet Pg. 22
6.2.e
calculate the new rate increase, they have a rate increase of over 10%. If this is the reasoning for
rate increases, many of us tenants would like to see the same logic used for a rate decrease. So, if
the CPI next year is 6%, do we get a rate decrease of 4%? Please let us tenants know how else we
could get a rate decrease or no increase for a year or two. Thanks for listening, and we all hope for
some commonsense in these times of abnormal events everywhere."
Commissioner Orvis responded that if the CPI next year is 6%, the rate increase would actually be
7% (CPI + 1 %). He said they must remember there was one year where the increase was only 1 %,
and over the last several years, when CPI was increasing very little, rates were increasing at 1 %, 2%
and 3% instead of 5%, 6% or 7%. He acknowledged this year's rate increase was high, but there
have been a lot of years when the Port could have justified raising rates even higher than CPI +1 %,
but it did not. Mr. McChesney noted that the average rate increase over the past 10 to 15 years is
somewhere between 2.5% and 3%. This year is an anomaly, and things are starting to turn around.
Commissioner Grant commented that just because the CPI is lower in a future year doesn't mean
the Port's costs will have gone down, as well. Secondly, he stressed that the Port isn't only paying
for today, it is paying for things that have to be done 5 to 20 years from now. If they could actually
demonstrate that costs have decreased by 20%, the Commission could talk about a rate decrease,
but that isn't usually the case. Commissioner Johnston added that repair and construction costs are
increasing even faster than inflation.
Ms. Drennan explained that CPI is a calculation of a basket of goods from one period of time to
another. The Port uses June because that is the one that is most immediately available before the
budget process starts. The only way the rate increase would be negative is if CPI was a negative
number.
Edmonds City Councilmember Teitzel announced that he was recently assigned as the Council's
liaison to the Port. He said he is pleased to take on that role, as he has worked with the Commission
before and has always admired the work they do.
There were no other public comments.
NORTH PORTWALK AND SEAWALL RECONSTRUCTION DESIGN UPDATES
Ms. Williams explained that the purpose of this meeting is for the Commission to make some final
design decisions so the designs can be finalized in preparation for the Substantial Shoreline
Development submittal and Architectural Design Review Board submittal. The final design decisions
are related to color choices for the light posts, benches, railings and gates. She introduced Dennis
Titus, CG Engineering, who was present to provide a brief update on the project timeline and the
permit status. She also introduced Dylan Yamashita, Makers Architecture, who was present to
review the latest renderings and color choices. She noted this is the last step for the 90% design.
Dennis Titus, CG Engineering, reviewed the permit schedule, highlighting the following:
• The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) process has been completed and approved.
• The Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application (JARPA) was submitted to the Army Corps of
Engineers in November of 2021. There was a bit of a slowdown in the application review due to the
Army Corps of Engineers and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) having coordination
issues with the conservation calculator. Landau is tracking this application, and there have been no
Packet Pg. 23
6.2.e
comments thus far.
• Applications for the Substantial Shoreline Development Permit and design review will be submitted
to the City in mid -February. The Commission will need to make some final color choices to enable
the design team to prepare the submittals.
• The application for Hydraulic Project Approval will be submitted in June 2023, followed by the
Building Permit application. Both of these have two year expirations, so they will hold off on the
submittals until closer to construction.
At the request of Mr. McChesney, Mr. Titus shared more on the status of the JARPA, which was
submitted a little over a year ago. The next step in the process is to submit the Section 404 Water
Quality Certification, which will occur once the civil plans have been completed later this week. Mr.
McChesney asked if he anticipates that JARPA review will be completed by November of 2023, and
Mr. Titus said that is Landau Associates' current prediction. Mr. McChesney emphasized that there
are some inherent uncertainties because the Port doesn't have control over the process and there
are a number of agencies involved.
Commissioner Grant asked if the Building Permit could be extended for an additional two years, and
Mr. Titus answered that a 2-year extension is an option once the project is under construction.
Commissioner Orvis added that SEPA has no expiration.
Dylan Yamashita, Makers Architecture, briefly reviewed the latest renderings, noting the design
decisions that have been made so far. He advised that, at this time, the design team is seeking input
from the Commission relative to the gates, railings, benches and light poles.
Commissioner Orvis noted that the green benches the City installed are starting to rust. He asked
what the proposed benches along the Portwalk would be made of, and Mr. Yamashita answered
steel, with a powder -coat finish. Commissioner Orvis voiced concern that the new benches would
eventually rust, as well. Mr. McChesney agreed that the finish can wear off over time, resulting in
rust. Mr. Yamashita pointed out that a bench with a much longer lifespan would cost substantially
more.
Commissioner Grant observed that the Port of Everett uses LED lights that are very attractive and a
lot more interesting than the simple light posts that are currently proposed for the Port's project. Ms.
Williams reminded the Commission that the design choices have already been made, and the focus
of this discussion is on colors. Given the length of time between now and actual construction, Mr.
McChesney said it would be helpful if some minor modifications could be made after design review.
However, once the project receives Architectural Design Board approval, the design will be locked
in.
Commissioner Grant asked if the gates could be located on the side so they don't open into the
Portwalk, and Mr. Yamashita answered that they had trouble with the gates opening into the
gangways without taking up room on the Portwalk. Ms. Williams explained that Mr. Menard and the
internal project team are recommending the current plan for the gates due to space constraints.
Changing the gates now would require a new design. Mr. Menard was concerned about the type of
equipment needed for sliding gates, but they received good feedback from Everett that the automatic
sliding gates were holding up nicely and they didn't have as many issues as originally thought.
However, the Port of Everett is located in a more protected harbor, and the Port of Edmonds gets a
lot more salt air. She recalled that the Commission has expressed interest in a keyless entry system,
which would require minimal power. On the other hand, the power that would be needed for sliding
gates would require a completely new breaker system that would need to be protected from the
weather. His recommendation is to stick with the current design, which would result in an updated
Packet Pg. 24
6.2.e
look, work within the Port's space constraints, and accommodate a keyless entry upgrade. The
handles would be changed to make the gates easier to open but still stay within the space
constraints.
Commissioner Orvis said he prefers the sliding gates, but he noted that the Port has a lot more
gates than the Port of Everett. This makes a difference when it comes to maintenance, since the
current gate design would also be extended to the south marina at some point in the future. He
voiced concern that the existing staff would not have the capability to handle this additional
responsibility. It was noted that electronic elements required for the sliding gates at the Port of
Everett are protected by an overhanging shed, and that wouldn't be the case at the Port of
Edmonds. They also have a lot more space, and their marina is protected from the saltwater of the
Sound.
Commissioner Preston asked about the gate material, and Ms. Williams answered that it would be
anodized aluminum. Commissioner Preston asked if the benches could be anodized aluminum, as
well. Mr. McChesney expressed concern that they wouldn't be as durable.
Commissioner Grant asked if the planter boxes would be cement, and Ms. Williams answered that
making the Portwalk wider required inground planters rather than above -ground planters. Because
the planters would be at grade, Mr. Yamashita pointed out that very little maintenance would be
required.
Mr. Yamashita shared a dark color option that would create a corridor feel, and said staff has voiced
concern it might create too dark of a space. Commissioner Preston asked if the top of the railing
would be flat or at an angle, and Mr. Yamashita answered that it would be angled.
Commissioner Grant noted that the light poles at the Port of Everett served both the walking path
and parking areas. Mr. Yamashita pointed out that new lighting is proposed for the parking lot, as
well. Commissioner Grant asked if the proposed lighting would serve both the pedestrians and the
people sitting on the benches. Mr. Yamashita answered that the lighting contractor recommended
spacing the light standards about 40 feet apart, so they should give light 20 feet on each side. There
shouldn't be any dark areas. Ms. Williams cautioned that it is also important not to create too much
light, especially with the glass -block base.
Commissioner Grant said four people from Point Edwards have contacted him, voicing concern
about the amount of light the fixtures would put out. Commissioner Johnston responded that all of
the lights would be downlit and very unobtrusive.
Commissioner Preston voiced concern that a dark railing would be hot on a summer day. Ms.
Williams shared a rendering of a silver railing, noting that it brightens things up a bit. However, there
is concern that the roofs and beams are already silver. Commissioner Grant questioned if the dark
color would show more dirt. Ms. Williams said it probably wouldn't show dirt so much as it would bird
poop.
Next, Ms. Williams shared a combination color. With so much metal on the railing and gates, they
felt the dark could possibly be overwhelming. One option would be to keep the railings more silver,
and then use the dark color for the light posts and benches. She, Mr. Baker and Mr. Yamashita did a
fieldtrip to view the boardwalk along the piers at the Port of Seattle, which also has a glass -block
base, and they actually liked the appearance of some dark elements.
Packet Pg. 25
6.2.e
Ms. Williams said she would recommend a combination of light and dark colors, but she would like to
play around with which elements are light and which are dark. Commissioner Preston asked how
they came up with the dark color, which is quite striking. Ms. Williams said they chose the color
based on site visits. She reminded them that the project would also include signage, public art,
landscaping, etc. to add color. Commissioner Orvis noted that the Portwalk is heavily used. While
the darker railings are more dramatic during the daylight, they might be too dark for rainy, winter
nights. Mr. Yamashita clarified that the railings would have downlights.
Ms. Williams shared that, in design, dark colors are used to draw the eye. In general, you want
people to see beyond the railings to the boats so the dark color might be more distracting. On the
other hand, it might be nice to use the dark color on the benches to make them stand out amongst
the greenery.
Ms. Williams advised that the new colors were chosen to get away from the current blue/brown color
scheme. The intent is to introduce the new colors, along with nice wood elements, signage, etc.,
throughout the Port. Commissioner Preston asked if all of these design choices would eventually be
carried over to the south marina, and Ms. Williams answered affirmatively.
COMMISSIONER GRANT MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION ACCEPT THE COMBINATION
DARK/LIGHT COLOR SCHEME. COMMISSIONER ORVIS SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Commissioner Grant pointed out that the Port of Everett's restroom building included three places for
small retail shops. Mr. McChesney responded that the building is quite large, which would be a
challenge for the Port's current project. It was quite costly, too. He said the restrooms included in the
current design would essentially be the same as the CXT buildings that were installed in the south
marina. While they have received comments that they are too utilitarian, they were cost effective to
install. Commissioner Grant commented that a lot of ports consider facilities that support tourism to
be an important factor. Commissioner Johnston observed that the Ports of Nanaimo and Sydney are
considered premier ports. He asked what elements make them wonderful waterfront experiences.
Mr. McChesney said the focus was more on the engineering and public access elements of the
project, and there was never any thought to add retail space.
Commissioner Preston asked if the electrical equipment currently located on the Administration
Building would be covered by a building of some type when the building is demolished. Mr.
McChesney explained that the electrical switch gear is currently mounted on the south side of the
current Administration Building. This equipment may have to be relocated in order to demolish the
building, and this would require the entire system to be upgraded. It is likely the current
Administration Building would stay until construction of the North Portwalk and Seawall project
begins.
As they seek justification and grant funding for the project, Commissioner Orvis stressed the
importance of emphasizing that the project is a seawall restoration. The only reason they are
replacing the Portwalk is because it has to be removed in order to replace the seawall before it
collapses. Commissioner Grant concurred and advised that, as they pursue grant opportunities, it
will be important to stress that the project is a seawall restoration rather than a beautification project.
Mr. McChesney agreed that the project could be rebranded to emphasizes the seawall restoration,
but he noted that it also depends on the type of grant the Port is pursuing.
Commissioner Preston requested clarification about the bump outs. Mr. Yamashita reminded the
Commission that the bump out area cannot be expanded. However, the existing bump outs were
Packet Pg. 26
6.2.e
consolidated into a larger bump out in the plaza area. Commissioner Preston asked if a railing
and/or bench could be added in the bump out area for people to sit. Mr. Yamashita answered that it
might be difficult with the glass -block pavers. However, they could add space for people to stand.
New Administration/Maintenance Building
Mr. McChesney advised that, upon visiting the site after the deck was put down on the new building,
it became readily apparent that the floor plan needed to be changed to create a better Commission
Meeting Room. He explained that the primary design guideline the Port gave to the architect,
Jackson Main, was that the Port didn't need any more space than what they already have, and the
building was designed with that in mind. There was to be a corner of surplus area that could be used
as rental space, and staff is now proposing it be used as part of the new Commission Room.
Dennis Titus, CG Engineering, shared the original design that was permitted, pointing out the
Commission Meeting Room in the middle with no windows. He also pointed out the extra leasable
space, commenting that the idea was to lease this space to recoup some of the construction costs.
However, as construction progressed, it became apparent that the floor plan needed to be reworked
The proposed new design would relocate the Commission Meeting Room to the bottom right corner.
However, because the larger room would be considered an assembly room, additional restrooms
would be required and the swing of the doors must be changed. As proposed, the additional
restrooms would be accessed directly from the Commission room, which would allow the Port to
secure the rest of the building during public meetings.
Commissioner Harris asked if the storage room would be the same size, and Mr. Titus answered
that it would be 15 square feet smaller.
Commissioner Grant said he likes the new floor plan and suggested that it would provide more
opportunities for the public to use the space, too. Commissioner Orvis recalled that, from the very
beginning, the Commission wanted a room that could be used by the people who own the building
(the public).
Mr. McChesney advised that the new floor plan would result in some change orders, but they don't
have specific information to share at this time. The purpose of this presentation is to advise the
Commission on what the design team feels is the best solution to the problem and solicit their
approval.
Commissioner Grant said he has attended meetings of the Woodway Town Council, and their space
has moveable furniture that can be moved out to accommodate receptions and other events of that
type.
COMMISSIONER GRANT MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION ACCEPT THE NEW FLOOR PLAN
FOR THE ADMINISTRATION/MAINTENANCE BUILDING AS PRESENTED. COMMISSIONER
ORVIS SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
APPROVAL OF FEDERAL LOBBYING AND GRANT SERVICES CONTRACT
Mr. McChesney advised that the Port is currently working to perfect its financing strategy for the
North Seawall and Portwalk Project, and a major component of that strategy will be grant funding.
Packet Pg. 27
6.2.e
With the help of Commission Grant, Port staff has been putting together a strategy for pursuing
grants. They have concluded that, to improve the Port's chances of success, they need to hire a
professional consultant/lobbyist. He reviewed that at their January 9th meeting, the Commission
directed staff to proceed with a contract for federal lobbying and grant services as soon as possible
while following personal services bid and contract laws, policies and procedures. A Request for
Proposals was sent to select lobbying firms on January 25th and advertised in the Seattle Daily
Journal of Commerce and the Everett Herald. Requests for Clarifications/Questions are due on
February 2nd, and proposals are due on February 8th. Interviews, if required, will take place the
week of February 13th, and proposals will be evaluated and ranked by the Port Evaluation
Committee based on the Evaluation Criteria. The intent is to award a contract by February 15th.
Mr. McChesney further advised that they are currently working on a submittal for the RAISE
(Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity) Grant from the United States
Department of Transportation, and the deadline is February 28th. With this current schedule, it is
highly unlikely they will meet that deadline. As time is of the essence and the Port may not be ready
to proceed with awarding a contract in conjunction with a Commission meeting, staff is
recommending the Commission approve a contract amount of $125,000 now. Staff would update the
Commission with the selected firm at the Commission meeting immediately following the selection.
Commissioner Grant expressed his belief that $125,000 is not enough. He said his best guess would
be $10,000 to $15,000 per month, and the contract amount could be as high as $185,000. Mr.
McChesney said there is a certain amount of guesswork involved, and staff felt that $125,000 would
be the most realistic number. The thought was that this amount would cover $10,000 per month for
the length of the contract (10.5 months). Commissioner Orvis summarized that it is important to
approve enough money plus a pad, and it would be better to have a pad too much than a pad too
little. Commissioner Harris disagreed and pointed out that, because this is a public meeting, it would
be inadvisable to go on record as being willing to pay a much higher amount. Ms. Drennan shared
her concern. Commissioner Orvis responded that, from past experience, he doesn't believe
consultants would bid based on what the maximum would be if they want the job.
Questions were raised about why the Commission is being asked to authorize the Executive Director
to enter into a contract before proposals have been submitted and reviewed. Ms. Drennan explained
that, if they follow the process, the Commission wouldn't be able to approve a contract until February
27th. The proposed motion would allow the Executive Director to enter into a contract as soon as
possible, and the Commission could always approve additional funds at a later time.
The Commissioners discussed what the appropriate amount might be for the authorization, and most
agreed that $200,000 would be a more appropriate number.
COMMISSIONER ORVIS MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT FOR FEDERAL LOBBYING AND GRANT SERVICES
FOR THE PERIOD OF FEBRUARY 2023 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2023 WITH THE FIRM
SELECTED BY THE PORT'S EVALUATION COMMITTEE IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$200,000. COMMISSIONER JOHNSTON SECONDED THE MOTION, WHICH CARRIED 4-1, WITH
COMMISSIONER HARRIS VOTING IN OPPOSITION.
Commissioner Grant said he could work with staff to prepare a submittal for the RAISE Grant, and
then have the contracted lobbyist follow it through. The value of the grant is up to $25 million. Mr.
McChesney agreed to look at the RAISE grant application, but cautioned that staff has only limited
capacity.

Commissioner Harris said she agrees with the approach, but she felt the amount of the approval
might be overthought.
SMALL PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTS AWARDED FOR 2022
Mr. McChesney referred the Commissioners to the list of 2022 Small Public Works Roster Contracts
Awarded, which was attached to the Staff Report. He advised that the list was provided for the
Commission's information, as required by State Law.
MARINA OPERATIONS 4TH QUARTER REPORT AND ANNUAL REVIEW 2022
Mr. Baker presented the 4th Quarter 2022 Marina Operations Report, specifically noting the
following:
• Moorage. During 4th Quarter there were 27 terminations and 22 spaces were assigned. The
turnover ratio was 4.08%, the same as in 2021. The waitlist ended the 4th Quarter with 344
applications on file compared to 320 at the end of 2021.
Commissioner Johnston asked if the 27 terminations and 22 assignments is a timing issue, and Mr.
Baker answered affirmatively. There was a three-week period where there were open slips available
to someone walking in. Those availabilities were all 28ft or less.
• Guest Moorage. The total number of boats in Guest Moorage decreased by 18%, but the number
of nights increased by 9%. Last year there were 610 nights, compared to 662 nights this year. Guest
Moorage was occupied primarily by the Edmonds Yacht Club in December for their Holiday on the
Docks event. There were 11 boats, which accounted for 344 total nights of moorage.
• Document Compliance. Insurance compliance was at 91 % at the end of 4th Quarter, and
registration compliance was at 76%. He explained that insurance compliance typically increases
during 1 st quarter because it is required before a new parking pass can be issued, and registration
compliance will drop in the 3rd quarter because state registrations renew on June 30th.
Commissioner Grant asked if the Port has any liability for either insurance or registration
compliance. Ms. Drennan answered yes, due to the derelict vessel law. If you don't have your
documentation up to date, you can't get reimbursed for the removal of derelict vessels.
Commissioner Grant asked if the Port would be liable if a boat catches fire and it spreads to the Port
facilities and the owner doesn't have insurance. Mr. McChesney answered affirmatively and said that
is why the Port insists that tenants provide their insurance certificates every year, naming the Port as
an additional insured. Parking passes are withheld until compliance. Commissioner Johnston asked
if the Port could institute a fine program for non-compliance. Mr. Baker said tenants who do not
provide the two documents are out of compliance with the moorage agreement, which gives the Port
a 30-day-out clause. He said tenants generally renew their insurance policies each year, and it is
more about collecting the documents. Commissioner Orvis described the difficulty associated with
collecting insurance documentation because insurance companies do not often provide notification
to the Port. While marinas strictly enforce insurance requirements due to liability concerns, they have
fought having to enforce registration requirements.

• Dry Storage. The occupancy rate in Dry Storage was 84%, which is up from 77% in 2021. There
are currently 60 trailers stored at the facility compared to 51 in 2021.
• Boat Move Activity. There were 1,455 total moves by the forklift during Quarter 4, and that is 20%
greater than in 4th quarter 2021. Launch activity increased by 17% from the 4th quarter of 2021, and
wash -down area use increased by 18%. The call -ahead service increased by 32% from 2021. The
Port has implemented that all boat moves are by reservation only. People have gotten used to the
requirement and are seeing the benefits. It allows Port staff to organize and be on time.
• Boatyard and Travelift. Travelift roundtrips decreased slightly (5%), and sling time with pressure
wash increased by 25%. Sling time without wash increased by 133%. Stall usage increased by 236
more days during 4th Quarter, and there were 39 pressure wash treatments.
• Fuel Dock. The total number of gallons pumped increased by 16% or 7,348 more gallons than in
2021. Gasoline increased by 22% and diesel by 11 %. Pay -at -the -Pump decreased by 6%,
accounting for 63% of the total gallons sold. The Port's fuel prices were very competitive with the
area average, slightly under for both diesel and unleaded.
Mr. Baker noted that the Port adjusts its fuel prices more frequently than many other marinas. Mr.
McChesney said the Port discovered that when they didn't adjust the prices every week, they were
out of sequence with the market rate and it was difficult to catch up. Several years ago, the Port
decided to reset the price every Tuesday based on the current rack price plus the markup. This has
been a very workable model.
• Public Launch. The number of roundtrip launches increased by 97%, and one-way launches were
down 1 %.
Mr. Baker presented the 2022 Annual Port Operations Review, noting the following:
• Moorage. The high demand for moorage space continued in 2022, and the waitlist expanded
throughout the year. The number of lease terminations and turnover ratio were at 5-year lows. This
supports the theory that boating is strong and demand is there.
• Dry Storage. Dry Storage also had a 5-year low for terminations and turnover ratio. Staff has done
an excellent job keeping boaters engaged and managing leases effectively.
• Public Launch. The numbers matched the 5-year highs, and they continue with steady business
year-round.
• Guest Moorage. With an open Canadian border, people are able to cruise further, and there was
full recreation and travel available in 2022. While the numbers dipped slightly, guest moorage was
still very busy.
• Fuel Dock. High fuel prices continued in 2022, but strong boat usage continued. Sales were
second highest for the 5-year span. Puget Sound Express and the Freedom Boat Club continue to
be very successful in their business models, which equates to more trips and more fuel.
Commissioner Johnston asked when Puget Sound Express would start its 2023 operations, and Mr.
McChesney answered they would resume operations in March.

6.2.e
• Boatyard. Boatyard usage was strong throughout the year.
Mr. Baker commended the Port Operations staff, and Port staff as a whole, for helping put together a
great year. He gave a special shout out to Security Staff for doing a great job. They recently
provided evidence that led to the restroom vandals being apprehended. He commented that more
911 calls is not of concern, because it's a result of the Port staff being proactive. The staffing
schedule has been changed, resulting in more eyes on the marina. In addition, their relationship with
the Edmonds Police Department has grown. They are at the Port every night, and they know all of
the Port's security staff by name.
HARBOR SQUARE 4TH QUARTER 2022 REPORT
Ms. Williams presented the Harbor Square 4th Quarter Report, specifically noting the following:
• Gross projected revenue was up 9.88% or roughly $50,000 compared to the same time period in
2021. This was due to consistent occupancy rates, as well as a high CPI rate, which is the basis for
the annual adjustments for most of the leases.
• The occupancy rate at the end of Quarter 4 was 91.92%, up approximately 3% from the rate of
89.06% in 2021.
• No leases ended or began in Quarter 4, but there were 7 lease extensions.
• A pair of new common area restroom toilets were installed Buildings 1 and 2. A new mailbox was
installed in Building 5, completing new mailboxes for all five buildings. Backflow, standpipe and
confidence testing at Building 2 was completed. The confidence testing is done every year, but the
backflow and standpipe inspections every 5 years. Lastly, fire extinguisher testing and replacement
was completed in all five buildings.
• There were no incidences to report.
CITY OF EDMONDS REPORT
Councilmember Teitzel said he looks forward to working with the Port Commission and staff again.
He is also looking forward to watching the Portwalk project proceed. He reviewed that there was a
significant snow event in December, followed by a lot of rain and extraordinarily high tide, which
caused some flooding issues at SR-104 and Dayton Street and into the Harbor Square property.
This was disappointing because several years back, the City Council approved the installation of a
new pump facility on Dayton Avenue, assuming it would take care of the issue. This was the first
major flooding event since the new pump was installed, and it appears that the events during that
period overwhelmed the pump capacity. The City is working to sort out the problems.
Councilmember Teitzel reported that the City is starting the Comprehensive Plan update, which will
involve a review of the Waterfront Plan. He recalled that the proposed overpass on Sunset Avenue
was halted, but the safety problem still exists and more people than ever are using the waterfront.
He suggested the Port and City need to work together to come up with a solution. This could include
creating emergency facilities on the west side of the train tracks in the event of an emergency.
Commissioner Orvis commented that the City Council recently allocated $50,000 to restudy the
waterfront bridge project. He suggested that, before this work begins, they should review the
information that is already on file from the previous studies. Councilmember Teitzel agreed. He
reminded them that Burlington Northern Santa Fe is planning to add another track through Edmonds
Packet Pg. 31
6.2.e
at some point in the future. When that happens, some type of overpass facility will need to be built to
get people over the tracks to the other side. With the double tracks, there will be more and longer
trains, and this will increase the potential for blockage.
Regarding the flooding issues at SR-104 and Dayton Street, Commissioner Grant referred to a
recent article in The Edmonds Beacon that mentioned a six- or eight -year study. He said it would be
interesting to review that study to see what all was considered. Mr. McChesney commented that the
new pump never worked as designed. Two months after it was installed, he worked with a City
employee during a similar flood event. City staff will be at the Commission's February 13th meeting
to explain the engineering parameters and help the Port Commission and staff understand the
issues. Councilmember Teitzel announced that he is the Chair of the City Council's Public
Works/Parks Committee in 2023, and they will continue to focus on the issue to figure out what can
be done.
Commissioner Grant said he has had discussions with Councilmembers regarding the Waterfront
Plan Update, and it sounds like the City Council might start addressing some of the issues before
talking with stakeholders. He asked about the timing for this work. Councilmember Teitzel said he
hasn't been directly involved in this work, but he plans to get more engaged. He agreed that before a
plan is committed to paper, the City will need to work with the stakeholders.
TOWN OF WOODWAY REPORT
Commissioner Preston requested an update on Point Wells. John Brock, Woodway Council Position
2 responded that the appeal for the High Tower Project failed, and the Town of Woodway Council is
expecting to hear from the applicant (BSRE) shortly. The Town Council is interested in working with
the applicant to come up with something that will work. Out of the 66 acre parcel, only about 12
acres are developable due to the railroad tracks and slope. The road capacity of Richmond Beach
Road in Shoreline will control the size of the development.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Mr. McChesney reported that he attended an event with Congressman Rick Larsen on January 18th
He was very gracious and understands what the Port's North Seawall and Portwalk Project is all
about. They will be depending on him and others to get them over the finish line.
Mr. McChesney reported that he participated in a fieldtrip last week to the Port of Everett. Having
worked there for a number of years, it was amazing to see the transformation that has occurred. It
was all industrial when he was there. All of the industry is gone, and they have cleaned it up and
redeveloped it. He noted their overpass from Grand Avenue down to the waterfront, which took 35
years to plan and construct.
Mr. McChesney announced that the Seattle Boat Show will start on February 3rd and run through
February 11th. Ms. Williams invited Commissioners to contact her for tickets if they want to attend
the show. Mr. McChesney said the Port elected not to have a booth at the show this year, but some
staff will attend.

COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS AND COMMITTEE REPORTS
Commissioner Preston announced that he would attend the Chamber Connect Edmonds Event on
January 31 st at the Cascade Art Museum. He would also attend the Chamber Luncheon on
February 2nd. Ms. Williams said the Connect Events are new, and she has heard great things about
them.
Commissioner Grant said he has been following the City of Edmonds' work on zoning issues.
Commissioner Orvis announced that Port Day in Olympia is February 2nd, and Commissioners
Harris and Grant will attend. Commissioner Harris said she has an appointment with Senator Liias.
Senator Peterson was busy, but she will get on his calendar for a Zoom meeting in a few weeks.
Commissioner Preston suggested that she stop by and talk to his legislative aid while she is at Port
Day.
Commissioner Orvis shared the following highlights from the Washington Public Port Association's
(WPPAs) legislative report:
• A big deal right now is whether the State will push municipalities and others to upzone to create
additional density. To him, it seems the problem is they voted in a Growth Management Act (GMA)
that limits the amount of land available for housing, and now that more housing is needed, the only
thing to do is increase density.
• Senate Bill 6465 would promote tourism, with perhaps funding, as well. Nearly 15 years ago, the
State of Washington sliced off funding for tourism while surrounding states were investing in tourism.
There have been many attempts to improve tourism at the local level, and now the State will try to
step back in.
• Clean energy is a big deal right now. There are senate and house bills in support of a measure that
would result in significant changes in energy policy, but no one is exactly sure what will happen.
• On January 25th, the committee heard about Senate Bill 5129 related to planning for advanced
nuclear reactor technology. The bill would add advanced nuclear technology as a guiding principle
for the development of the State's energy strategy.
• There is a bill in the Energy Committee on creating a State financial insurance program for
petroleum underground storage tanks. No action has been taken yet.
• More plastic legislation will be passed, including legislation related to plastic encased foam for
overwater structures, which would be good for ports.
• The WPPA is working with the legislature on removal of derelict aquatic structures such as
creosote pilings. The Port will be looking at mitigation soon, and perhaps they can do mitigation to
enhance the waterfront in other parts of the City. This may also allow the Port to do mitigation at the
marsh.
• The Department of Natural Resources is talking to the WPPA now, which is good.
• There is proposed legislation having to do with challenging election. It would allow people to
challenge an election in a jurisdiction that they don't live in.
• The legislature is working on the Paid Family Medical Leave Plan, and they anticipate a bill being
brought up for a vote very early in the session. Ms. Drennan commented that the plan is currently
underfunded.
• The legislature is adding climate elements to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and
Growth Management Act (GMA), and it has already passed committee by a partisan vote. As far as
ports are concerned, it will primarily impact freight, but it will also impact communities.
• The Finance Committee unanimously voted to advance a substitute version of the Ways and
Means Small Works Contracting that would increase the threshold to $350,000. It would also extend
apprenticeship requirements to contractors pursuing port districts. A substitute variation was voted
out without including any of the changes recommended by the WPPA and others.
• The prevailing wage bill, as written, would require that prevailing wages be paid at the current
Packet Pg. 33
6.2.e
prevailing wage level rather than the level at the time of letting the contract. That means contractors
won't know how much salaries will be when bidding on contracts.
• The report on the tax structure talks about a state margins tax that would potentially take the place
of the Business and Occupation (B&O) Tax.
Commissioner Harris said she would attend Port Day in Olympia on February 2nd. She also clarified
that she does appreciate and support the federal lobbying and grant services approach. She has
concerns about raising the amount to $200,000, not because she doesn't trust staff, but because of
what it puts out there.
Commissioner Johnston said he has been busy, along with staff, Port Attorney Stephens and
Commissioner Orvis, putting together the solicitation package for the Port's new Executive Director,
and it will go out on February 1 st. The plan is to onboard the new Executive Director in time for the
retreat and for that person to be completely on board by May 1 st.
Commissioner Johnston advised that he would attend a Planning Committee meeting on January
31 st.
Commissioner Harris stated her intent to apply for the Executive Director position. She said she has
spoken with Port Legal Counsel regarding her intent. She has not contributed any feedback to the
job description or announcement or been part of any hiring discussions. Port Legal Counsel will
advise her on future discussions, such as those in executive session or general session where she
should recuse herself from the meeting altogether or from a topic that is applicable so there is no
conflict of interest. Whatever the outcome, she knows it will be a fair and due process, and she will
very much respect the Commission's ultimate decision.

involved with fundraising for the new club. He appreciated the council considering the lease for the Boys
& Girls Club.
Kelly Bre, a member of the Edmonds Boys & Girls Club fundraising committee, hoped the council would
approve the ground lease agreement so the fundraising committee can move forward with planning and
fundraising. Fundraising is off to a good start for this exciting project and they have received encouraging
local and private support so far. If all goes well, they will continue fundraising and proceed with design and
permitting with the goal of bringing a state of the art facility to provide services to hundreds of Edmonds
and south Snohomish County kids while offering a great compliment to the beautiful new Civic Park. She
expressed appreciation for the council's thoughtful consideration.
Nora Carlson, Edmonds, a resident of the Westgate neighborhood, urged the council to assist the
neighbors and staff at Westgate Elementary School who have ongoing concerns about safety issues at the
dangerous intersection of 96t' Avenue W & 220' Street SW. She was wearing a Westgate Elementary
School t-shirt with the statement, stronger together, commenting we are stronger together when we work
together on important issues we care about in our community. She thanked each of the councilmembers
who responded to her email sent prior to the February 7 council meeting, stating she greatly appreciated
their support for effectively addressing the ongoing safety concerns at the school crossing near Westgate
Elementary School. She looked forward to the council's unanimous yes vote on the Consent Agenda to
move forward on the school zone speed cameras. This addition to the intersection will be an effective way
to slow drivers down and remind them to follow the speed limit on 220'. As she has expressed to the council
for a few years, her intent is to ensure the council is aware of ongoing safety issues near Westgate
Elementary School and ensuring changes will be made for the safety of students, staff, parents and
neighbors.
Lora Hein, Edmonds, a resident of Westgate neighborhood, expressed appreciation for the council placing 2
the speed zone traffic cameras on the Consent Agenda, a project that cannot happen soon enough. With
regard to the speed cameras will be set at to issue tickets, she urged the council to consider keeping the a
point at which tickets are issued closer to 5 mph over the speed limit instead of 11 which was the range that
was suggested. In a 20 mph zone, 5 to 6 mph over the limit is about 20-30% over the speed limit which
would be equivalent to 20-30 mph over in a 60 mph zone which she felt was absurd. There are extremely 00
vulnerable children, elderly, and animals in that area and as Mayor Nelson said in his State of the City c
report several weeks ago, cars are lot more protected than people. When driving on 220t'', the radar speed a
sign occasionally reflects that her speed is 1-2 mph over the speed limit so 5-6 mph over the 20 mph speed a
limit is sufficient to remind someone via a ticket that they need to slow down. She thanked the council for � �
their willingness to address this issue and to protect the most vulnerable members of their neighborhood. `"

Nile McShane, Edmonds, present with his friend and neighbor Jerry Thorsen, residents on Lake Ballinger w
in the southeast corner of Edmonds, explained Mr. Thorsen is the past president of the Lake Ballinger
Community Association which was instrumental in the formation of the Mountlake Terrace forum
elimination of internal combustion engines on the lake and improvements on the culverts to McAleer Creek
and other enhancements over the years. He referred to the particularly bad flooding that occurred on Lake
Ballinger this winter. Past community action helped establish agreements about water levels in the lake and Q
regulations that helped clean up the water and ensure the ecology of the lake is protected. However, it was
his understanding that this winter's flooding was the worst since 1996 and presented a significant risk of
damage to property including docks, gardens and potentially homes. His dock was damaged in this year's
floods and he also lost trees on his property due to soil saturation. Other homes in lower lying areas around
the lakeshore were much more severely inundated and may have incurred even greater damage. It is
apparent the problems with flooding have been known for many years and numerous studies have been
done and some actions taken, but the problem has not been resolved. With increased development and
climate change, the risk of more severe flooding events only increases. In addition, the plan to spend $5
million on the park at the north end of the lake which includes restoration of Hall Creek has the potential

to further increase water flows into the lake without commensurate action to ensure water flows out of the
lake. The cities of Mountlake Terrace and Lake Forest Park are actively involved in the management of the
McAleer Creek Watershed and are resistant to increased outflows from the lake due to claims about flooding
downstream. As almost all the homes on the lake are within Edmonds, he requested Edmonds take a more
proactive position to advocate for their interests in the watershed forum. Their first request is a meeting
with members of the council and the community to talk about these issues.
Amendment to Agenda
Mayor Nelson advised he forgot to request Item 9.2, 2023 Carryforward Budget Amendment, be removed

8. PUBLIC HEARING
1. PUBLIC HEARING ON ADDITION OF MINOR DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT
PROCESS IN ECDC 20.80 (AMD2022-0005)
Senior Planner Mike Clugston recalled staff introduced this topic to council a couple weeks ago. The intent
is to add code to Chapter 20.80 related to development code amendments that are minor in nature. A roster
of amendments will come to council twice a year or more often depending on the need related to issues that c
require no policy study, only related to code cleanup. He noted the incorrect version of the code amendment
was included in tonight's packet. He highlighted changes that were made when this was last presented to
council: Page 386, 20.80.015.13.1 remove "correct Scrivener's errors," in 20.80.015.13.2, remove
"scriveners," and in 20.80.015.0 replace "Development Services Director" with "Planning & Development a
Director." Those changes will be reflected in the final ordinance. He noted those are the type of minor
changes that would come to council during this minor development code amendment process, things that c
staff and others realize when using the code need to be updated. For example, he noted yesterday there is
code in Title 18 related to streateries which are no longer allowed, but there is an entire section related to c
L-
it. Removing that would be considered a minor change as the code is no longer valid and sunsetted in May a
2022. He recommended taking and considering public testimony and staff will return in a couple weeks a
with a final ordinance for council adoption. � �
N
T-
Planning & Development Director Susan McLaughlin commented this is the first step of the code c
modernization process. Staff is excited to establish this process to cleanup obvious items and move toward w
the more substantive work.
m
E
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to Mr. Clugston's example of streateries, recalling there was interest in
having that come back in a different form. She was confused by what was considered minor and major,
recalling there was interest in relooking at streateries and coming up with something unique. Ms. Q
McLaughlin answered outdoor dining in the public right-of-way is a topic of discussion that will be
packaged into reimagining neighborhoods and streets. In its current form in the code, it is incorrect and
obsolete because it refers to an ordinance that has sunsetted. She summarized the code would need to be
rewritten.
Councilmember Nand reiterated the comments she made previously, in her experience as the liaison for the
tree board, there is often disagreement by board members regarding what constitutes a minor amendment
versus an intermediate or major amendment. The council relies on volunteer boards and commission
members and their deep knowledge of the section of the code they are responsible for to advise them. She

7.2.a
referred to language in 20.80.010 "The city council may refer a proposal to the planning advisory board, or
other board, commission, committee, staff, or other ad hoc group for its or their nonbinding
recommendations." She said that procedural step would give her greater comfort in this streamlining
process.
Councilmember Teitzel said he has seen references in the code to scrivener's errors and clerical errors. He
asked if a clerical error is a subset of a scrivener's error or whether they were the same. Mr. Clugston said
he was not familiar with cites to clerical errors; staff could look at that. He believed they were the same
thing. Ms. McLaughlin commented a clerical error could be something like changing the meeting time for
a committee. Councilmember Teitzel said he was comfortable these amendment would come to council on
Consent Agenda twice a year. When the first minor code amendments are put on the Consent Agenda,
council can see what staff meant by minor and would have an opportunity to pull them from the Consent
Agenda for further discussion if necessary.
Mayor Nelson opened the public hearing. There was no public present in Council Chambers or virtually
who wished to provide testimony. Mayor Nelson closed the public hearing.
Council President Tibbott commented this was an opportunity to hear from the public. In the coming days,
council will have the opportunity to discuss the minor development code amendment process with staff.
When this comes back to council for final decision, council will have more information, enabling the
council to make an informed decision about moving forward with amble time to interact with staff about
this and other code amendments.
9. COUNCIL BUSINESS
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS - ARIZONA STATE AND SNOHOMISH COUNTY
PURCHASING COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
Councilmember Teitzel commented he was conflicted about this.
COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
APPROVE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS - ARIZONA STATE AND SNOHOMISH COUNTY
REGARDING PURCHASING COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS. SECOND?
Councilmember Teitzel observed these are cooperative agreements between the City and Snohomish
County and Arizona State to purchase vehicles in bulk that are not available in Washington. It is a creative N
move and he compliment the fleet manager and Public Works Director Antillon. The PPW Committee N
discussed this and supported the notion of this agreement, but in the discussion with Mr. Antillon, it became w
clear that some of the vehicles are police vehicles approved in the 2023 budget. It was his belief when those };
vehicle purchases were approved that the vehicles would be hybrids. However, due to a severe supply chain
issue, hybrid vehicles not available at this time. He wanted to ensure the council was aware of this issue E
s
and discussed it more fully.
Q
Councilmember Teitzel cited the following: from the mayor's presentation on the state of city earlier this
month, "The Edmonds Climate Action Plan sets actions to reach a carbon emission reduction goal. The
main goal of the plan is to reach climate neutrality by 2050. This means by 2050 we are only producing an
amount of carbon emissions that our planet can absorb. Sadly our city has made little measurable progress
since Edmonds' first climate action plan in 2010. We must take bolder action. The 2023 CAP outlines new
actions so that Edmonds can meet our 2035 target if we take action now." He read from the first page of
the Climate Action Plan, "The city adopted resolution 1453 which commits Edmonds to a science based
target of 1.5 degrees Celsius global temperature rise. To meet that target means the community must be
carbon neutral by 2050. We have a long way to go, but we have reason to hope we can get there." He read
from the last page of the Climate Action Plan, "To address the reduction gap identified in the tool, replacing
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
February 21, 2023

Packet Pg. 45
fossil fuel based gas, carbon neutral refrigerants, carbon sequestration and other measures are need to meet
our GHG emission targets for 2050."
Councilmember Teitzel commented those are serious cites and the City needs to get serious about getting
there. He reflected on DP59 in the 2023 budget which includes replacing two Ford Explorers with 2023
Ford Explorer hybrids. He read from the December 5 budget deliberations, "Sergeant Machado relayed at
current staffing, there would be enough for assigned cars plus 2-3 breakdown cars; the two high mileage
cars would probably be breakdown cars. An assigned car will last 5-7 years versus a pool car that has a 3-
4 year service life. The rate of decay and amount of repair for a pooled car as they get to the end of their
lifespan and have higher mileage is significant and the cost per mile for pooled cars versus assigned cars is
dramatically higher particularly at the end of their lifespan. Chief Bennett said there is now an option for
hybrid patrol cars which provides for energy efficiency and in theory, longer life." Councilmember Teitzel
said that informed the council's thinking when approving funds in the 2023 budget were approved for the
purchase of a fairly substantial number of police vehicles using ARPA funds. He asked how long it might
take to weather the supply chain issue and purchase those vehicles, relaying his strong preference that the
City purchase hybrid vehicle versus gas -powered vehicles. If it is not possible, the council has a decision
to make in terms of whether the approval should proceed on that basis. He asked Police Chief Bennett her
thoughts about the supply chain issue and the timeframe.
Chief Bennett commented ideally it would wonderful to have hybrid vehicles in the police fleet, however,
even gas powered vehicles, seven were ordered in October 2022 as replacements and the vendor canceled
the order in November. Although having electric or hybrid vehicles would be a perk and at some point,
possibly in five years, police vehicles may be all electric and by that time some of these vehicles may be
mileaged out. The underlying purpose of the program was assigned cars as a force multiplier for recruiting
and retention and to save the City money. While it would be great to have electric vehicles, their availability
as well as the availability of regular patrol cars is very limited.
Sergeant David Machado commented the current fleet does include six hybrid vehicles as front line patrol a
cars. They provide a different driving experience for patrol officers because they turn off automatically
even through there is a high electrical demand on cars. A hybrid police car is still a mission specific vehicle c
that must have a variety of capacities. The patrol vehicle he drives is a multi -fuel vehicle, gas and propane.
In 2012 the City went to a propane concept; dual fuel is required because the car starts on a gas fuel system c
and switches to propane after reaching a certain temperature. Fleet services and managers at the time a
determined the use of propane had added value for fuel efficiency and emissions. There are a few police a
vehicles including the one he drives, that are dual fuel. M
N
T_
From the perspective of how the City has challenged itself and speaking with a literacy relating to efficiency c
in application, conceptually it makes good sense to look for the best mechanism. Everyone is suffering from w
the reality of ongoing supply chain issues, from ballistic vest to AED pads to vehicles. There may only be
2-3 hybrid cars available over the next 12-18 months. He provided an example of the impact that limited
front line service vehicles have; last night there was a relatively serious motorcycle collision on Highway
99 at 229th at about 5:30 p.m.; due to there not being enough cars, he could not get his squad in service to
back up the day shift squad that was in service. A force multiplier and dependable force deployment concept Q
is what assigned cars are about.
Assistant Chief Sniffen explained this project is to get the assigned vehicle program off the ground using
the unique opportunity of one time funding with ARPA funds. As much as he and others would like hybrid
vehicles, there are supply chain issues with the batteries and the chips. Even civilian consumers are having
difficulty get certain brands of electric and/or hybrid vehicle. He supported hybrid vehicles for the future,
keeping in mind that the lifecycle of patrol cars is 5-6 years which would be 2027-2028 when other vehicles
could be considered and hopefully supply issues will be resolved. There has also been discussion about all
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

7.2.a
electric vehicles; he was excited in 2022 when public works acquired two electric pickup trucks as the
pickup truck platform is becoming more popular in police work which may also be an option.
AC Sniff continued after council approved the new vehicle purchases in the 2023 budget, he worked closely
with Senior Mechanic Carl Rugg and Public Works Director Oscar Antillon to source the vehicles to fill
the program and when the they found the vehicles, to get as many hybrids as possible. That is still the plan,
although he has not checked in with Mr. Rugg this week. The intent was to get the purchasing program in
place in order to have further discussions regarding which vehicles will be available in the Phoenix area.
Arizona seems to have a line with Ford because they are buying in bulk quantities, 400+ vehicles; Edmonds
is only asking for a small portion of that. Edmonds was first in line for those vehicles and will have first
choice on what they get. He has requested the focus be on getting hybrids first, but hasn't gotten a straight
answer from any of the parties regarding what vehicles will be available, because they do not know what
Ford will be able to ship to them.
Chief Bennett commented Assistant Chief Sniffen is modest about the amount of work he has done in
arranging this and being first in line to purchase these cars. There are a lot of agencies clamoring to get
these vehicles on a first come first serve basis.
Councilmember Teitzel said he feels conflicted due to the council balancing two priorities, public safety m
and the climate. He would love to have a majority of the new cars be hybrids, but if it is not possible to U_
obtain those, he wanted council to understand that. This does not have any bearing on whether the council
approves the cooperative purchasing agreement which he supports, but he wanted to ensure the council was
aware of the supply chain issue and that the City may not be able to get hybrids in the next year or two.
Chief Bennett agreed it may be 1-3 years before hybrids are available.
W
a�
Councilmember Buckshnis commented she was looking at the financial aspect; the carryforward
amendments were pulled from tonight's agenda but they include a $608,000 carryforward due to delays in
purchasing vehicle as a result of supply chain issues. The carryforward amendments also include a $63,000 a
increase as a result of the delay. She preferred to get the police force in action and get the take-home vehicle
program in place. Chief Bennett explained the department was notified in November that the previous order c
for cars was being canceled and requiring the purchase of next year's model at an increased price.
0
Councilmember Nand commented in reviewing the Arizona State Purchasing Cooperative Agreement, 0
there is no exclusivity clause. She asked if it would be feasible to get more hybrid vehicles if Mr. Antillon a
and the police department were given more time, such as 1-2 months, to find other potential suppliers. � �
cm
Assistant Chief Sniffen said he would not know the answer to that question without talking to Mr. Antillon
or Mr. Rugg. The amount of work he put into finding these vehicles in Arizona was monumental and if c
staff continued to look for other programs, the City would not be in the pole position but way back in the w
pack and may not be able to purchase vehicles at all. He assured staff was committed to trying to source c
hybrid vehicles; this is one location that potentially has them. He could not guarantee by entering into the E
agreement with the State of Arizona that they will have hybrids available for purchase but if they do, staff
has already requested them. The agreement with the State of Arizona is the City's best chance of getting
hybrid vehicle, but he could not guarantee that Ford would deliver hybrid vehicles to Arizona. If they do Q
not, he did not want to be caught shorthanded by not being able to purchase the gas versions which Arizona
has stated they will get those delivered from Ford.
Councilmember Nand asked if it would be helpful to say the council is requiring for example six of nine
vehicles be hybrid or something like that. Assistant Chief Sniffen said it has been made abundantly clear
that that is the City's goal to meet some of the climate goals in the future. The department already has some
hybrid vehicles; it is purely a supply chain issue. The goal is to get hybrid vehicles when they are available,
but if they are not available, it is preferable to move forward instead of waiting. Councilmember Nand said
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

7.2.a
she would be comfortable with setting a minimum requirement for the number that would be hybrid versus
internal combustion.
Council President Tibbott observed it is possible some of the vehicles sourced through Arizona will be gas
models. He asked if the gas models were less expensive than hybrids. Assistant Chief Sniffen answered
yes. Council President Tibbott observed theoretically could lower the overall cost for securing the vehicles
and starting this program. Assistant Chief Sniffen agreed.
Council President Tibbott observed there are older vehicles in the fleet that will become due for replacement
in 1-3 years and hopefully the supply chain issues will have been resolved by then and those vehicles could
be replaced with the preferred vehicle. Chief Bennett commented the goal is to have hybrid vehicles. If she
could have an entire fleet of hybrid or even all electric, she would do it now. There are constraints with the
use of the on -time ARPA funds and huge constraints with supply chain issues. She reiterated Assistant
Chief Sniffen's modesty in regard to the amount of time and energy he put into finding this vendor through
multiple contacts. In speaking with other chiefs in the area, they are having the same problem and are miffed
Edmonds got in line before they did. If for some reason Arizona is able get 400 hybrid vehicles, Edmonds
would purchase all hybrids, but that is unlikely due to supply chain issues. The department wanted to be
honest about what might happen.
Council President Tibbott found the expense of starting this program is a justifiable use of ARPA funds and
he supports moving forward with the program. The replacement of older vehicles in the fleet with hybrids
sooner rather than later is a good possibility. He expressed support for the motion.
Councilmember Paine commented it sounds like staff has turned over every stone to look for hybrid vehicles
or any vehicles. No progress has been made on the City's Climate Action Plan (CAP) for the last decade
through no fault of the City's efforts. She asked whether staff would report to the council when they heard
from Arizona. It will be exciting to hear what vehicles are available; the City does not have the luxury of
time and getting older vehicles off the road will still be an improvement although not perfect. Assistant
Chief Sniffen said that is the number one question he gets asked; he checks with Arizona daily and they
have not provided a timeline. With a standard turnaround, when vehicles are ordered at the end of the
previous year, they begin to arrive in April. He hoped to know more in the next couple months about what
vehicles they have and when they will be delivered and offered to report to council.
Councilmember Paine asked if there was any chance Arizona would cancel the order like the other vendor a
did. Assistant Chief Sniffen did not believe they would do that. Councilmember Paine commented that has
cm
happened and she hoped there was a plan B in case something unfortunate like that happened. She was
supportive of moving forward as there are good reasons for each officer having a vehicle and was hopeful c
all the vehicles would be hybrids. w
c
To the point that internal combustion engines vehicle are less expensive at the outset, Councilmember Nand
said she was an early adopter of EVs and has a 2013 Chevy Volt. With gas price fluctuations, the savings
with electric vehicles, especially with unknowns like the ware in Ukraine, global supply chain issues,
accumulate over time. She strongly supported moving to a hybrid or purely electric fleet for the entire City Q
as soon as possible as the savings will be really significant over time.

Councilmember Olson gave a shout out to the team of consultants who collaborated on this project. They
heard the council's concern about the cost and worked hard to fit the project into the original budget. She
appreciated that this project was moving forward in a way that made sense financially.
Councilmember Teitzel applauded staff for the very complete and detailed agenda packet and similarly
great packet presented to the PPW Committee last week. In terms of durability, he noted this area does not
often have Texas -type, golf ball sized hail, but climate change is happening so it could happen in the future.
He asked if the panels could stand up to large size hail. Mr. Sullivan said he was not sure about golf ball
sized hail, he has experienced that that and it is very scary. The panels are designed to perform in the Pacific
Northwest. He will research the durability and damage hit rating and get back to council.
Councilmember Buckshnis said bravo, commenting once the council goes through the carryover
amendment process the funds will be the approval so it was unlikely this will need to be presented to the
PPW Committee again. She agreed with the comments about the great packet and great presentations
tonight and at the PPW Committee. She summarized, hurrah for this long awaited project.
Councilmember Chen thanked staff for bringing this forward. As Councilmember Buckshnis stated, this is
a carryforward; the costs have increased and the carryover amount is not sufficient to cover the total
estimated cost of $690,000. He asked if that was due to inflation. Mr. Sullivan responded one of the cost
increases was the six month hiatus in using the state's Energy Services Program due to complication on
another project. During that time, the PV cells were discontinued so new panels and new inverters had to
be sourced which resulted in a cost increase.
Councilmember Chen observed the carryover was due to obstacles that prevented implementation of this � �
cm
project in 2022. He asked if staff was confident the project could be completed in 2023. Mr. Sullivan
responded staff was confident it could be completed in 2023. The timeline from mobilization to a complete c
project is 6-8 weeks and he anticipated it would be constructed during the summer. w
c
Councilmember Chen asked if the $119,000 commerce grant and the $176,000 IRA reimbursement were
E
secure. Mr. Sullivan answered the $119,000 from the state is secured and the $176,000 is a projected cost.
The guidelines came out from the federal government on the 16t' and staff is reviewing the process for
securing those funds. Councilmember Chen wondered if there would need to be a budget amendment to a
cover a potentially increased cost. Mr. Sullivan said he hoped not, but could not guarantee it.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT TIBBOTT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PAINE, TO
AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO ACCEPT THE MATCHING FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN
DESCRIBED AND CONFIRM THE PROJECT AND MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.
Councilmember Paine commented if the project is able to proceed, she wanted to proceed with some haste
because projects get bogged down and there is a lot of pressure to obtain PV panels as other communities
are looking at similar projects, particularly due to funds from the IRA.

Councilmember Nand asked whether the building could become a net contributor to the grid once the panels
are installed and from a climate resilience standpoint, will the system have the ability to store energy to
provide resilience during blackouts. Mr. Sullivan answered unfortunately it is a net metered program and it
is not expected that the solar plant will ever outproduce the needs of the building. The building operates
24/7 due to the police station. With regard to battery backup, the public safety building and Fire Station 16
are 100% generator backup for emergency response and due to the location of the emergency operations
center in the public safety building. Battery backup will not be used and when the generator comes on, the
solar plant will be locked out via the automatic transfer switch so it does not back feed PUD's system when
it comes back online. Councilmember Nand observed the generators are powered by gasoline. Mr. Sullivan
answered they are powered by diesel.

Councilmember Teitzel observed the kids attending the BGC use the basketball court on the north side of C4
the building fairly frequently. He asked where the kids would exercise and play outside when that space is w
covered by the new building, whether it will be the tennis and/or basketball courts and if so, will that create
conflicts with the public who also want to use those facilities. He asked how that would work from a m
scheduling standpoint. Ms. Feser answered it will depend on the Club's design for their facility. They have
a basketball court in the facility now and there may be a court in their future plans. Prior to construction,
the children who attend the BGC were quite active in their use of the park as park users and she expected Q
that would continue after construction of Civic Park is complete as well as after the new BGC facility is
constructed. Adjacency to the park is one of the great features of this BGC. Park amenities they will be able
to use include the basketball court, tennis and pickleball courts, large open athletic fields, the track, etc.
Councilmember Olson congratulated Ms. Feser on bringing the council the ground lease land separate from
a use agreement, a great takeaways from a previous project.
Councilmember Paine commented a 40 year lease is a nice long lease for any nonprofit and no nonprofit
these days would be able to afford to come into the downtown area in such a nice spot. She was glad the

council would have a chance look at the building. She was curious about programming, recalling when her
daughters were young, they had had a great time staying there after school. She wanted to ensure the
programming stayed within the content of the agreement and that it continued to be used for youth services
as required for a gift of public funds. She appreciated that the language in the agreement reflected language
in the state constitution that allows this use.
Councilmember Paine relayed staff had answered her questions about having an opportunity to look at the
building and the opportunity to hold a public hearing. She appreciated staff s diligence in ensuring there
would be a separate agreement regarding construction access, noting that should also include use of the
right-of-way outside the front door if they planned to store any materials in the right-of-way as she
anticipated a 3-year occupation of the right-of-way would be problematic. She assured she will have other,
better questions after seeing the BGC's proposed design.
Councilmember Chen commented the agreement was an exciting policy between the City and the BGC of
Snohomish County. This project makes him think of the partnership with Waterfront Center, another
successful cooperation. He observed the lease is 40 years plus a 15 year extension, and asked if the City
took ownership of the building after that point. Ms. Feser answered the agreement allows for the negotiation
of an extension at the end of the 55 years.
Councilmember Chen observed the BGC have programs during the day and asked if the building would be
available for City programming at night. Ms. Feser the City and BGC have not entered into those
discussions yet. The BGC has expressed interest in discussing possible shared programming. The BGC's
focus is before and after school activities during the school year and during the day when school is not in
session, but not late night activities so there is room for discussion. The City currently shares programming
space at the Waterfront Center; the City has programs there Monday -Thursday 4 to 10 p.m.
Councilmember Chen asked about the population the BGC serves, whether there is an age limit. Ms. Feser L_
said she did not know the answer and invited Councilmember Chen to email her that question and she will a
pass it on to BGC and share their demographic and programming information with entire council.
Councilmember Chen wondered whether the square footage allocated to the BGC is sufficient to serve the c
Club's population. Ms. Feser answered that is for them to respond to in their building designs including
how they want to program the building and the age population they are targeting. Councilmember Chen c
relayed the current design is one story; the building height at that location is 30 feet so a 2-story design a
would double the available space. Ms. Feser said that will be clarified when the BGC presents their a
schematic design to council later this year.
N
Councilmember Nand referred to the play areas outside the building, commenting it seems like a good N
opportunity to pursue the addition of afterhours lighting to extend play time on the tennis courts, etc. She w
asked if that would be in the purview of this agreement or should it be handled separately. Ms. Feser asked
if Councilmember Nand's question was whether the renovation of their existing footprint provide lighting
for areas outside the building. Councilmember Nand asked if this would be a good time to pursue upgrading
amenities to have afterhours lighting, bleachers, benches, etc. to make the tennis court more amenable for
local high schools programming of competitive games. Ms. Feser answered the only lighting in the park Q
for activities is related to the athletic field. The intent is for the rest of the park to close at dark; park hours
are typically dawn to 30 minutes after sunset. The other amenities in the park are currently not lit to not
encourage activity in the park after dark. The promenade is lit on one side. The park was not designed to
be heavily used after dark other than the athletic fields. Observing that it gets dark quickly in the winter
months, Councilmember Nand suggested consideration be given to extending the hours of usage of the
tennis courts and basketball court as a public service especially for young people.
Councilmember Teitzel referred to Ms. Feser's comment that the BGC was exempt from paying leasehold
excise tax because they are a nonprofit providing public benefit. He asked if the BGC had formally applied

7.2.a
for an exemption. Ms. Feser answered they have exemption status through the State of Washington
Department of Revenue.
Council President Tibbott commented this has been a great discussion and he loves the concept that is
coming together. The lease has been well thought through and he was excited to see the BGC's plans.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT TIBBOTT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PAINE, TO
APPROVE THE PROPOSED GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
EDMONDS AND THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF SNOHOMISH COUNTY. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
4. ADDENDUM NO. 1 TO LIBRARY ANNEXATION AGREEMENT
Planning & Development Director Susan McLaughlin advised the library repair and renovation was
previously presented to committee. She explained in June 2022 an irrigation pipe broke, flowing into the
library for approximately 8-12 hours, damaging the walls, flooring, furnishings, elevator and restrooms. A
lot of emergency repairs were done by the City and Sno-Isle also did emergency cleanup of their furnishings
and other equipment. As emergency repairs are being completed, the City and Sno-Isle have been discussing
modernization and renovation of the space, balancing the urgency to reopen the library as soon as possible
and using this opportunity to improve accessibility, sustainability, and make modest improvements to the
teen and children space. Sno-Isle hired a design team to design the interior space.
Ms. McLaughlin explained this agenda item is an addendum to the annexation agreement that outlines the
agreement with Sno-Isle regarding who covers what portions of the building and how. The City covers all
building repairs such as flooring, walls, restrooms, etc. and Sno-Isle covers furniture, equipment, materials,
etc. The annexation agreement created in 1998, anticipated a 3-year building reserve fund to be used for,
1) roof replacement and 2) building repair. The roof was repaired in 2003. Subsequent to that repair, water
challenges have continued and as part of the current repairs, fixes are being considered to assure Sno-Isle.
The $300,000 referenced in the annexation agreement for roof replacement would never cover the cost of
roof replacement in 2023 and beyond. The roof replacement is included in the City's 6-year CIP.
Ms. McLaughlin continued, this agenda item is an addendum to the annexation agreement to enable Sno-
Isle and the City to use the building reserve fund to pay for the emergency repairs that have been done, the n
City's out of pocket expenses, work not covered by insurance, and to cover Sno-Isle renovation work. The a
breakdown in the addendum is the City's costs would be up to $250,000 and Sno-Isle's cost would be
approximately $610,000. Facilities Manager Thom Sullivan and Chy Ross and Susan Hempstead with Sno- N
Isle are present to answer questions. N

Councilmember Paine commented on her very enjoyable tour of the library a few weeks ago. She loves };
everything in the addendum; the only thing missing is the date of the flood. She requested it be added to m
the 3' whereas clause in the addendum. Ms. McLaughlin agreed with that addition. Councilmember Paine E
suggested making that addition and scheduling it on next week's consent agenda. Otherwise, she loved that M
the design was moving forward and she would hate to see anything slow it down. Q
COUNCILMEMBER PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT TIBBOTT, TO
SEND THE ADDENDUM TO THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR THE FEBRUARY 28 MEETING.
Councilmember Nand asked Sno-Isle to comment on the sustainability of the green roof on the library since
irrigation and potential flooding has been a source of concern. Mr. Sullivan commented the sustainability
of a green roof in Western Washington is a challenge, an exciting challenge for those in facilities because
it can be done. It typically has a lifespan because underwater environments only last so long without
renovating or modernizing the waterproofing. The 6-year CIP includes revisiting the waterproofing and
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
February 21, 2023
Page 15
Packet Pg. 54
landscaping as an opportunity to compliment what will basically be a brand new library. There have been
a lot of technological advancements in waterproofing materials, techniques, flashing, etc. since 2013.
Councilmember Nand observed even if the green roof is retained, flooding from the irrigation into the
building is not anticipated. Mr. Sullivan answered he did not think so, the failure point was identified and
temporarily mitigated and he is working with the parks manager on a permanent replacement of the system.
Councilmember Nand relayed her understanding funding of the green roof and maintenance is not a point
of contention between Sno-Isle and the City and there are no plans to remove the green roof. Mr. Sullivan
said that has not been discussed. Ms. McLaughlin said the concern about the roof leaking again was
absolutely a point of conversation at the onset of the City and Sno-Isle partnership in this project. The
ability to make these emergency repairs, take a close look at whether there is continued water intrusion and
make additional repairs as well as including evaluation of the library roof membrane in the City's CIP
instilled Sno-Isle's confidence.
Councilmember Olson asked if there would be value to making the amendment tonight and approving the
addendum tonight or was approval on February 28 consent agenda acceptable to staff. Ms. McLaughlin
answered approval February 28 was acceptable.
Councilmember Olson recalled she previously relayed a resident's suggestion to have an alarm for extreme
water intrusion and staff indicated they were looking into that. Mr. Sullivan answered he is working with
the City's alarm vendor on options for a building water intrusion alarm to determine what best suits the
library design, the most critical areas for water intrusion, and isolating an alarm to the areas of most concern
such as directly under water pipes. Councilmember Olson recognized Erling Hesla for that suggestion.
Councilmember Olson recognized this was an unwelcome incident for everyone, a huge inconvenience and
a quality of life impact. She thanked Mr. Sullivan for shouldering the additional workload created by this
incident.
Councilmember Chen reported he toured the library with Councilmember Teitzel; it was good to see that
improvements were being made, but it was difficult to have the library out of service for that length of time. c
He thanked staff for all the work it has taken to put the library back together. He referred to the library
annexation agreement which included a reserve fund of $1,111,658; the $250,000 and $610,000 identified c
in the addendum for repairs will deplete the reserve fund. He asked about plans to replenish the reserve a
fund. Ms. McLaughlin answered the existing balance in the reserve fund is approximately $860,000; the a
utilization of reserve funds by Sno-Isle and the City will exhaust the fund. There is a clause in the agreement � �
cm
that states when it is exhausted, the parties will renegotiate a new reserve fund. That is the intent, to revisit
T—
it as intended in the original annexation agreement. c
w
Councilmember Chen began to make an amendment regarding replenishing the reserve fund. Mayor Nelson
recommended the council first vote on the earlier motion. m
E
s
Mayor Nelson restated the motion:
TO INCLUDE THE DATE THE FLOOD OCCURRED IN THE ADDENDUM AND PUT THE Q
ADDENDUM ON THE FEBRUARY 28TH CONSENT AGENDA.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
COUNCILMEMBER CHEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL, TO
AMEND 3.3.5 REPLENISHMENT OF EDMONDS BUILDING MAINTENANCE RESERVE FUND,
THE LIBRARY DISTRICT SHALL REPLENISH THE RESERVE FUND WITHIN A YEAR
WHENEVER THE RESERVE FUND IS DEPLETED BELOW THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF
$1,111,658.

7.2.a
Councilmember Chen explained the reason for the amendment is although everyone hopes unfortunately
things would not happen, but when they did happen, the reserve fund would be there to fund repairs and
maintenance. This amendment would be to restore the reserve fund when it is depleted.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented that is a lot of money to replenish in one year. Section 3.2.3 in the
original annexation agreement gave three years to establish the fund. In most businesses and even the City's
reserve funds, it takes 2-3 years to replenish depleted funds. McLaughlin agreed a fund of some sort needed
to be replenished. There will be myriad factors once the repairs and renovations are completed that will
inform the dollar amount for the reserve. An amendment to the original annexation agreement to establish
a new reserve amount would have to come back to council. The agreement requires the fund be reestablished
via negotiations with Sno-Isle. She was uncomfortable adding a specific dollar amount and duration without
any research or analysis but agreed replenishment of the reserve fund was the next step in the negotiations.
Councilmember Paine agreed the reserve needed to be replenished; the amount will be determined via an
assessment of future costs and the future stability of the building. This agenda item is the addendum and
not the original annexation agreement. If the council wanted to make changes to the annexation agreement,
there needed to be a conversations with the library system first. She did not support the amendment at this
time.
Councilmember Nand said while she appreciated Councilmember Chen's desire to have the maintenance
fund replenished, this seems like a bargained for term and there would need to be an understanding with
the bargaining partners to make a material change like that. Given the schedule year 1, 2 and 3 where almost
half of the amount is front loaded into the first year, she asked whether any maintenance needs were
anticipated that would exceed $500,000 once the fund is exhausted and replenished to about 50% within
the first year. Mr. Sullivan answered there will be no shortage of need with a building approaching 50 years
old. Buildings typically require a large reinvestments at 50 years including mechanical, roof, entry doors,
the Plaza Room banquet facilities, possible water intrusion, security issues, etc. He anticipated there would
be no shortage of $500,000+ projects. There is a green roof project in year 6 of the CIP; if something
catastrophic happened in the first year it could require action to preserve the investment that Sno-Isle is
making on the main floor. He summarized maybe not in the first year, but there will definitely be some
large projects in future years.
If something catastrophic happened that impeded the ability for the library to function, Councilmember a
Nand asked if there was an ancillary City fund to make the building operational. Ms. McLaughlin answered a
from a risk management standpoint, the reason this has taken so long is settling insurance claims, out of � �
cm
pocket expenses, being true to the annexation agreement and the parties' obligations, not the need to identify
funding. If there was a catastrophic event that was not anticipated through the CIP, it would again be an c
insurance issue. w
c
Councilmember Olson thanked Councilmember Chen for bringing this up. She agreed need more E
information was needed before proceeding with a decision on the amounts and timeframe.
Councilmember Chen expressed appreciation for the dialogue. There was value to this discussion because Q
if he had not brought it up, the council would not know the reserve fund was $800,000 and not $1.1 million.
He agreed there needed to be a two-way dialogue regarding reestablishing the reserve.
COUNCILMEMBER CHEN WITHDREW THE AMENDMENT WITH THE AGREEMENT OF
THE SECOND.
Councilmember Chen encouraged staff to continue conversations with Sno-Isle regarding replenishing the
reserve fund for the benefit of both the City and the Sno-Isle Library.

COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER CHEN, TO
REVISE THE SECOND SENTENCE OF ITEM 3.2.3.3 TO READ, "THE SHARE OF THE COST
OF REPLACEMENT OF THE ROOF SHALL BE FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF THAT COST. UP
TO AN AGGREGATE TOTAL CONTRIBUTION OF T-14REE 14UNDRED T-14OUSAND DOLL.
($300,000.00)•
Ms. McLaughlin advised that language is in the annexation agreement which is not the subject of this
agenda item. Tonight's agenda item is the addendum to the annexation agreement. Staff will come to
council with the annexation agreement in the near future because the total contribution for the roof
replacement in Item 3.2.3.3 is inadequate and needs to be renegotiated. The annexation agreement was not
part of the negotiations with Sno-Isle so she was uncomfortable making a change to the agreement without
further discussion about the roof replacement.
Councilmember Teitzel asked when repairs become replacement, observing major remediation is being
done now. Ms. McLaughlin answered it is categorized as a tenant improvement from a building permit
standpoint. It is not that lengthy or onerous, no structural walls are being moved or eliminated, the roof is
not being replaced, etc.
COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL WITHDREW THE AMENDMENT WITH THE AGREEMENT OF
THE SECOND.
Councilmember Teitzel requested staff take this up with Sno-Isle at the earliest opportunity, anticipating
the spirit in 2001 was to share the cost evenly; at that time the total cost was likely $600,000.
10. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Nelson announced tomorrow night is the 75' anniversary of the Edmonds Lion's club at the ECA
starting at 6:30 p.m.
11. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Nand relayed Councilmember Chen, Council President Tibbott and she went to Olympia
to lobby on behalf of the City as part of the AWC Action Days to represent the views of a majority of o
constituents. They received a range of responses on council majority's position on HB 1110 and its a
companion bills. Some state legislators were quite receptive to their point of view; some were openly Q
negative and used very frank language when speaking to them. She appreciated that level of honesty ch
although it was difficult to hear at the time. In response, she drafted a letter to the editor that also uses quite N
frank language, especially on the role of city councils and councilmembers is being portrayed in the housing c
discussion. w
c
Councilmember Nand read an excerpt from her letter and hoped her perspective could be taken in the spirit E
it was offered, an honest response to some very honest comments they received: "HB 1110 in its present
form is slated very pro -developer and very anti -city. With mandatory density formulas crafted by state Q
legislators in Olympia, the legislation will preempt local zoning control and open up millions of acres of
land all over the state to developers with little say from local city councils and the communities that we
represent. The type of nuance that is required to increase density and massing of new multifamily
developments in what have previously been single family zoned neighborhoods for decades is best
achievable through retaining local control at the city level. As a city councilmember, I invite our state
legislators to work with us to solve the affordable housing crisis and homelessness crisis. We are not
NIMBYs, we are not racists. We see the trauma experienced by the unhoused population and the strain on
working and middle class families when they have to spend hours daily commuting to work. We want to
solve these problems too. Don't treat us as the enemy. Since the state democrats are fairly confident they
will pass HB 1110 and its companion bills in some form this session, I am proposing an amendment to HB
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
February 21, 2023
Page 18
Packet Pg. 57
7.2.a
1110 to at least retain public design review process options at the city level especially for communities with
a history of disenfranchisement and marginalization. These are important tools to engage with our
community members, in particular, people who come from historically underrepresented who may speak
English as a second language and are engaging in the political process for the first time. Please contact your
state representatives and senators and ask them to retain public design process options at the city level.
Don't let them take away your voice."
Councilmember Buckshnis said everyone knows her opinion from an environmental standpoint on HB 1110
and its companion bill. The unintended consequences of zoning from a state legislative level is local
government does not get to zone their own property although they know the topography, demographics,
stormwater, sewer, watersheds, etc. and that that is not being received well in the world of Twitter. What is
important is getting information out to the public. Cities need to deal with housing, homelessness and
affordable housing, but for a long time the environment has not been considered even in light of extreme
events, watershed problems, etc. It is important to look at the entire picture of the environment and housing
which is why zoning should remain at the local level. She appreciated the three councilmembers going to
Olympia and was dismayed they were treated poorly. She encouraged the public to urge their
representatives to vote no on HB 1110.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented the preliminary 2022 December Financial Report was in Requests
for Filing on the agenda. It is actually the quarterly financial report or the fiscal year-end and she hoped
staff would make a presentation to council.
Councilmember Paine commented she was sorry she was not in town to go to Olympia. She reappointed
Kevin Harris to the Economic Development Commission. Mr. Harris has served a couple terms; her
quarterly conversations with him have always been exciting and invigorating and he is a very strong
contributor to the EDC.
Council President Tibbott reported on the visit to Olympic. They worked hard to represent the City's view
on the housing bills. They received some very frank language, but pushed back in appropriate ways to move
forward with commitments and priorities that represent the City's best interest. One of best things that
happened while in Olympia was the opportunity to meet with city leaders from around the region. They
found allies from cities as large as Bellevue to coastal cities like Bellingham and Mukilteo and inland cities
like Auburn and others who shared almost identical concerns about HB 1110. Edmonds is not alone in this
and it is very gratifying to have new allies representing the interest of cities in Olympia.
M
Council President Tibbott congratulated AWC for taking up the charge for negotiating with legislators with cm
the support of 281 cities and working behind the scenes and bringing a strong message. He was proud of c
the Edmonds team who learned from each other as they made presentations. Both Councilmembers Nand w
and Chen are master networkers, they both knew lots of people with whom they have had previous
conversations. Residents can be proud of the councilmembers' representation of the City in Olympia.
s
Councilmember Olson commented there has been a lot of interest in watersheds. There are public
workshops tomorrow at 12 and 6 p.m. regarding the Perrinville Creek Watershed Stormwater Management Q
Action Plan. They are public meetings and attendees will have an opportunity to participate online. Further
information is available on the cover page of the City's website.
Councilmember Olson wished a happy 50t' anniversary to the Edmonds South Snohomish County
Historical Society and 75t1' anniversary to the Edmonds Lions Club 75. She thanked the volunteers of both
organizations for all their wonderful work in the community including the flags and collection of glasses
and the community favorite, the farmer's market. She thanked the Lake Ballinger neighbors for attending
tonight. She heard their concerns and offered to meet with them to discuss their concerns, perhaps meetings
with 2-3 councilmembers to find out what is happening on Lake Ballinger.

Councilmember Chen reported on his experience in Olympia. Overall it was wonderful to experience the
legislators in action and see how hard they work. Law makers have different opinions and discussions,
meeting after meeting, working on amendments, meeting with constituents, etc.; he admired the amount of
effort they put in. He relayed good news from the legislature, HB 1516, which makes Lunar New Year a
state legal holiday, passed and will be forwarded to appropriations.
Councilmember Teitzel thanked Councilmember Olson for her comments about the Edmonds South
Snohomish County Historical Society celebrating their 50' anniversary. As a former board member of that
organization, he can attest to the amount of work they do keeping the library in great condition, keeping
displays interesting and running events like the summer market and other events. The Historical Society is
a great organization and he encouraged the public to support them often. The City is a partner with the
Society; the City own and maintain the building. He thanked Mr. Sullivan for working with the museum to
maintain the library.
Councilmember Teitzel commented the earthquakes and fatalities in Turkey and Syria have been heavy on
his heart the past few weeks. The number of people who lost their lives is equivalent to the number of
residents in Edmonds; it would be as if the entire City was wiped off the face of the earth, a very sobering
thought to consider. He encouraged anyone interested to donate to a relief organization or through their
church to help those suffering in Turkey and Syria.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 02/28/2023
Ordinance Change To Address Parking Ticket Change
Staff Lead: Chief Michelle Bennett
Department: Police Services
Preparer: Alexandra Ehlert
Background/History
In 2022 the Office of the Courts and the State Legislator changed requirements for several citations and
tickets that police departments issue. Specific wording and changes where given for citations and
infractions that included local jurisdiction parking infractions.
Staff Recommendation
We recommend the attached ordinance be approved via consent agenda on the 2/28 meeting.
Narrative
After review with Lighthouse Law Group staff it was determined that the Edmonds City Ordinance needs
to be updated to be inline with the new RCW and court rule. The change to the ordinance is moving the
timeline for individuals to respond to the infraction from 15 days to 30 days. Attached is a draft of the
ordinance amending ECC 8.48.215 that will make this change.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 02/28/2023
Police Department Administrative Staff
Staff Lead: Chief Michelle Bennett
Department: Police Services
Preparer: Alexandra Ehlert
Background/History
During the 2023 budget preparation the police department had an administrative staff member added
to our budget. At the time of preparing the budget we knew this staff member would need to be a high
level but unsure exactly the type of admin support was needed. This request will fulfill our
administrative staff needs.
Staff Recommendation
My request is that this request be approved on consent agenda at the 2/28 council meeting.
Narrative
After our budget package was approved we evaluated our administrative staff needs further and found
there was additional need. We came to the conclusion that another non -represented confidential admin
position was needed to support our Assistant Chiefs and Commanders as well as increasing our part
time Administrative Assistant to a .75 hourly employee to accommodate the continued growth of our
department and demands of the community we serve. In increasing the administrative staff we also
determined for workflow purposes it is best to have the Chief's Executive Assistant II supervise these
positions establishing an administrative team within the department to allow work flow and priority of
administrative needs to efficiently and effectively be decided. The attached job descriptions allow for
these changes and we are requesting approval. The total financial impact to add supervisor duties to the
Executive Assistant II Confidential position is approximately $4,500 additional in salary this year. The
salary difference for the Executive Assistant I Confidential from what we requested in the budget packet
($92,378) is $15,579 however that is only if we start an applicant for this position at top step of this pay
range which we do not anticipate doing. We anticipate starting the person at a salary step closer to what
was listed and approved in the 2023 budget. The cost difference in salary to take the Administrative
Assistant from the current .5 position to a .75 position is approximately $16,000 however this person
has already been working additional hours due to work load which resulted in an additional $4,500 for
the 2022 fiscal year, which makes the difference of around $11,000.
This memo was approved in committee as is for this year (2023) with the understanding that the police
department will add it to the budget requests in 2024.

Addendum No. 1 to Library Annexation Agreement
Staff Lead: Susan McLaughlin
Department: Planning & Development
Preparer: Susan McLaughlin
Background/History
In June of 2022, an irrigation pipe burst at the Edmonds branch of the Sno-Isle Library. The pipe is part
of the building irrigation system, and is maintained and operated by the City Parks Department. The pipe
provided water to the plants on the green roof. The irrigation line connected the main water supply to
the roof irrigation system through a backflow valve located in a mechanical space above the library. The
pipe failed just above the junction of the backflow valve but we do not know a direct cause for the
failure.
The City has been responsible for immediate clean up and repair. The emergency repair has been
completed and cost approximately 260K. The City anticipates that insurance will cover 100% of the
immediate repair costs.
The repair and restoration is complex as there are shared responsibilities between Sno-Isle and the City.
The City is responsible for all building related repairs -including but not limited to walls, flooring,
restrooms and elevator. We are working with insurance on those claims and we anticipate that the large
majority of work will be covered. Thereby, minimizing the City's out of pocket expenses.
Sno-Isle Libraries insurance will be used to cover a portion of the renovation project (furniture damage,
equipment, and materials). Sno-Isle also plans to modernize the library whilst undergoing the necessary
restoration work. The City has been working with them to minimize any delay of the Library reopening
while leveraging this opportunity to make improvements. Our collective goal continues to be to reopen
the library as soon as possible.
The City and Sno Isle continue to maintain a positive working relationship on these emergency repairs
and renovation work. We are excited about the upgrades that this unfortunate incident has afforded
and we have committed to a Summer 2023 reopening.
The City and the Library District operate under a Library Annexation Agreement that is dated November
5, 1998. The renovation work requires an update to the Agreement to enable Sno Isle and the City to
use the Reserve Fund to cover out of pocket insurance costs and other affiliated renovation costs. It is
anticipated that the City's expenses will not exceed 250k. The Addendum also recognizes that Sno- Isle
will deliver the project on the City's behalf to eliminate redundancy and to promote efficiency.

Staff Recommendation
Approval on a future Council Consent Agenda
Narrative
The Court requests that Council approve the NR-25 salary table for the job description of Community
Justice Support Specialist. The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) awarded Edmonds Municipal
Court a grant to fund this position temporarily part-time until June 2023. The salary table is consistent
with what AOC published as an example for courts to use. Because there are no positions within the City
that are comparable to this position, the Court needs Council's approval to attach the salary table to the
position.

Job Descriptions for HR Department
Staff Lead: Jessica Neill Hoyson
Department: Human Resources
Preparer: Jessica Neill Neill Hoyson
Background/History
During the 2023 budget process Council approved adding two additional positions to the Human
Resources Department. These two positions had already existing job descriptions of HR Assistant and
HR Manager which both needed to be updated. With the addition of these two positions to the
department we have taken the opportunity to update all HR job classifications to ensure appropriate
work distribution, responsibilities, and authority. The job classifications for review are the HR Assistant,
HR Analyst, Sr. HR Analyst, and the HR Director. There is no financial request associated with this review
as the positions have all already been approved as part of the 2023 budget. The job descriptions were
reviewed by the PSPHSP committee. The committee recommended forwarding the job descriptions to
consent for full council.

Meeting Date: 02/28/2023
2023 Edmonds Climate Action Plan
Staff Lead: Susan McLaughlin, Tristan Sewell
Department: Planning & Development
Preparer: Susan McLaughlin
Background/History
The City of Edmonds recognizes that global climate change brings significant risks to our community. At
the same time, the City understands its responsibility to lead both within our own community and the
Puget Sound region.
In September 2006, the City of Edmonds formally expressed support for the Kyoto Protocol, adopted the
U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, and joined the International Council for Local Environmental
Initiatives. The City developed its first Climate Action Plan in 2010 and an Energy Plan for City operations
in 2012.
In June 2017, Council committed to achieve or exceed the goals established in the 2016 Paris Climate
Agreement locally. The City also commissioned a greenhouse gas emissions inventory of 2017 to better
understand local emissions sources and form the baseline of this 2023 Climate Action Plan.
The City hired Environmental Science Associates (ESA) to help develop this iteration of our Climate
Action Plan. After hosting multiple open houses and workshops, administering surveys to collect
community feedback, and incorporating contributions from the Mayor's Climate Protection Committee,
this draft is ready for Council review.
If we commit to the bold actions in this plan, we can achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and in turn, we
will improve the quality of life for future generations.
Narrative
The proposed 2023 Climate Action Plan executive summary brochure, the full draft plan and the
implementation timeline is attached to this agenda memo.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BROCHURE

Q

For over a decade, Edmonds has been committed to preventing the hart E
from climate change. From sea level rise that causes erosion and floodir v
to drought and higher land temperatures that will destroy crops and fore
and rising ocean temperatures and acidity that will affect marine species E
which much of the web of life depends, Edmonds recognizes that it b& w
responsibility to take action as citizens of the world and stewards of c J
environment. z
In 2010, the City adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) to substantially red u U.
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Starting in 2018, local consultants wE s
hired to prepare a new GHG inventory and to advise the City on updati o
its CAP. This plan focuses on the most important steps Edmonds can take m
address climate change. Q
Global climate change is already harming the Pacific Northwest, and
expected to grow worse and become irreversible unless human-generat
GHG emissions can be eliminated. To achieve a future Edmonds commun
with a high quality of life that is sustainable and equitable for all resider
eliminating GHG emissions is critical.
The most important finding of this update to Edmonds' CAP is that t
Edmonds community has not kept pace with its goals to reduce GI
emissions. To avert the worst harm from global climate change, we mi
achieve an even more ambitious rate of emissions reduction.
The City adopted Resolution 1453, which commits Edmonds to a scienc
based target of 1.5°C global temperature rise. To meet that target mez
the community must be carbon neutral by 2050. We have a long way to c
but we have reason to hope we can get there.
This Plan provides a roadmap and a few indicator metrics that will help t
community know how we are doing. It is a call to action. The tools to addrE
the climate crisis have never been better and they are improving steadily...
will take effort on the part of the City, state and federal governments and
individuals to make use of those tools. It is time to get tow Packet Pg. 151

C
Frontline communities, those most
likely to be affected by climate
change, are often more resource
efficient than the general population,
with lifestyles that help achieve the
community's climate action goals.
They often live in higher density
housing, consume less energy per
capita, and rely on public transit.
However, intersecting vulnerabilities
and socioeconomic determinants,
such as preexisting health
conditions, physical location, historic
marginalization, social context, and
income stability, can make these
communities more susceptible to
threats of climate change.
Edmonds' 2017 GHG emissions were an
estimated 750,000 MT CO2e, including
both local emissions that occur within
the city limits and imported emissions
generated elsewhere to produce the
goods, food, and services consumed
in Edmonds. Total local and imported
emissions in 2017 were approximately

CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
Global climate change is already harming many
regions, including the Pacific Northwest. It is
expected to grow worse and become irreversible
unless human -generated greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions can be eliminated. To achieve the
future Edmonds has envisioned for itself in its
Comprehensive Plan, a community with a high
quality of life that is sustainable and equitable for all
residents, Edmonds recognizes that eliminating GHG
emissions is critical. This cannot be accomplished
without action at every level from national, state,
local, and individual. Edmonds passed resolutions,
developed a Climate Action Plan (CAP) in 2010, and
taken several steps toward implementing that plan.
The concentration of carbon in the atmosphere,
a key indicator of GHG levels, has more than
doubled since the beginning of the Industrial
Revolution.
However, the most important finding of this update
to Edmonds' Climate Action Plan is that the Edmonds
community has not kept pace with its own goals for
reducing GHG emissions. Edmonds is not alone in
failing to do so - most nations also failed to achieve
the reductions agreed to in the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
As a result, an even more ambitious rate of emissions
reduction must be achieved to avert the worst harm
from global climate change that is being driven
by GHG emission. The City took its first step with
adoption of Resolution 1453, which commits the
City to a science -based target of 1.5 degree Celsius
global temperature rise.' To meet that target, the
Edmonds community must be carbon neutral by
1 See the Introduction for an explanation of this target.
2 See the Summary of GHG Inventory for further details.
A Call
To Action
2050. We have a long way to go, but, as this plan
shows, we have reason to hope we can get there.
"When the well is dry, we know the
worth of water."
- Benjamin Franklin
Edmonds adopted its first Climate Action Plan in
2010. That plan set goals that seemed ambitious
but achievable: reduce emissions to 7% below 1990
levels by 2012 (per the Kyoto Protocol), 25% below
1990 levels by 2035, and 50% below 1990 levels by
2050 (per Washington State GHG goals in place at
the time). As a part of this current update, the City
conducted another inventory of GHG emissions in
2017.
The 2017 inventory found that Edmonds reduced
GHG emissions in some sectors but increased
emissions in others. The largest driver of these
increases is emissions from on -road transportation,
which increased 27% between 2000 and 2017.
In addition, natural gas consumption in buildings
increased by 25%.2 The inventory concluded that,
12 years after setting plans to begin reducing GHG
Despite Edmonds' stated commitment to
reduce GHG emission, per capita emissions
remained essentially the same in 2017 as they
were in 2000.
OUR VISION FOR EDMONDS IN 2050
Packet Pg. 161
emissions, per capita emissions in Edmonds have
remained essentially the same since 2000. However,
recent state legislation and changes in market
conditions suggest Edmonds can make progress in
the years ahead.
State legislation adopted in 2019 requires that
electricity in the state be carbon -neutral by 2030 and
carbon -free by 2045. Snohomish Public Utility District,
which provides Edmonds electricity, is well on the
way to meeting that goal. That means switching from
fossil fuels to electricity is the easiest way to reduce
GHG emissions. In addition, the automotive industry
is rapidly moving toward electric vehicles, with major
manufacturers planning to eliminate combustion
engine vehicles by 2030 or earlier. Together, these
two changes will move Edmonds closer to its goal
of being carbon neutral by 2050. Even with these
changes, the City of Edmonds and the Edmonds
community must do more.

The most effective steps the City can take

1. Adopt regulations to require new multi-
family and commercial buildings to be 100%
electric by 2023.1
2. Require more charging infrastructure with
new development .4

4.
Support mixed -use and transit -oriented
development in neighborhood commercial
centers.'
Coordinate with transit agencies to increase
service within Edmonds and improve access
to new light rail connections.b
5. Develop an action plan to adapt to sea level
rise in Edmonds.'
The most effective steps that individuals
and businesses in Edmonds can take are:
1. Replace fossil -fuel burning heating systems,
hot water heaters, and cooking equipment
powered with efficient electric appliances.$
2. Replace fossil fuel -burning vehicles with
electric vehicles.9
3. Reduce vehicle trips by using transit,
telecommuting, biking orwalking.10
4. Conserve energy wherever possible,
especially energy from fossil fuels.
Packet Pg. 162
8.1.c
This plan identifies actions that the City and
community can take to remain on target through
2035. Beyond 2035, even assuming widespread
adoption of electric vehicles, fossil fuels are likely
to remain in use for heating and other purposes
unless state energy regulations governing those fuels
change. One of the actions identified in the plan is
for the City to support those regulatory changes.
In addition, Edmonds and other communities will
have to seek additional ways to reduce consumption
of these fuels, and to sequester carbon in forests,
aquatic vegetation or through technologies that are
still in early stages of development.
"I think calling it climate change is
rather limiting. I would rather call
it the everything change."
- Margaret Atwood, author
This update also introduces the subject of equity in
the discussion of climate change. National studies
show that affluent households, those with incomes
above $120,000, produce GHG emissions that
are double those of households with and income
between $40,000 and $80,000. A large majority of
those emissions occur outside of the city limits, in
other communities and other nations. The median
income in Edmonds in 2020 was $91,499, placing
it in the 95th percentile for household income in
communities in the US. This means that the choices
we make in Edmonds, what we consume and how
much, have ripples far beyond Edmonds. It also
highlights the fact that many people in the US
consume less and therefore are responsible for fewer
GHG emissions than the average Edmonds resident.
It is incumbent on those of us causing the greatest
impact and with the greatest means to effect change
and lead the way in addressing the climate crisis. We
can learn from those who consume less and produce
fewer GHG emissions. In addition, by helping
those with limited means to convert to efficient and
carbon -free energy for their homes, businesses, and
travel, we can also lower their cost burden in the
long run, because today's high efficiency appliances
and electric vehicles cost less to operate. Also, if
rental property owners convert to energy- efficient
appliances and fixtures, the energy cost burden
would be reduced for the future renter or tenant. As
John Doerr, a successful investor in technology put it,
"it is now cheaper to fix the planet than to ruin it."
Finally, this plan examines some of the ways climate
change is likely to affect Edmonds. It identifies steps
we need to take to understand and prepare for
changes to rainfall and snowpack, summer heat and
drought, and sea level rise. Edmonds has only begun
to fully grasp what those changes could mean, but
they are likely to have a profound effect on the future
of our community.
This Plan provides a roadmap and a few indicator
metrics that will help the community know how we
are doing. It is a call to action. It is not too late to
address the climate crisis. The tools to do so have
never been better and they are improving steadily.
It will take effort on the part of the City, state and
federal governments, and individuals to make use of
those tools. It is time to get to work.

CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
8.1.c
Introduction
For over a decade, Edmonds has been committed
to taking action to prevent the harms from climate
change caused by the accumulation of "greenhouses
gases"(GHGs) released by human activity. The
consequences for the world of ignoring climate
change are enormous. Sea level rise will immerse
cities and farmland occupied by millions of people,
causing erosion and flooding, including downtown
Edmonds as well as other areas around Puget
Sound. Drought and higher land temperatures
will destroy crops and forests, and place millions
more in danger of food and water shortages. Rising
ocean temperatures and acidity will affect marine
species on which much of the web of life depends,
and further disrupt human food supplies. The cost
of all of this will fall on future generations, much
of it disproportionately on those with the fewest
resources to adapt. Only with global action can these
effects of climate change be mitigated, and Edmonds
recognizes that it bears responsibility as citizens of
the world and stewards of our environment.
A subcommittee of the City of Edmonds' Citizens
Committee on the US Mayors Climate Protection
Agreement convened in 2006, and in 2009 drafted
the first comprehensive plan for climate action,
using volunteer effort and with City staff support.
The City of Edmonds adopted a Climate Action Plan
in 2010 (2010 CAP), setting goals to substantially
reduce GHG emissions generated by the Edmonds
community, in accord with the US Mayors Climate
Protection Agreement.
The targets set by the 2010 CAP came from several
sources. Edmonds' adoption of the US Mayors
Climate Protection Agreement stipulated that the City
reduce its GHG emissions to 7% below 1990 levels
by 2012, per the Kyoto Protocol. At the same time,
Washington State mandated that GHG emissions be
reduced to 1990 levels by 2020; 25% below 1990
Several gases contribute to the "greenhouse
effect" that is causing climate change. The most
common of these is carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is
emitted whenever carbon -containing fossil fuels are
used, such as for home heating or in automobiles.
Other GHGs include methane, nitrous oxide,
and several fluoride -containing gases, which are
released in resource extraction and transport, some
manufacturing processes, and operation of certain

levels by 2035; and 50% below 1990 levels by 2050.
In addition, the United Nations' Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has determined
that GHG emissions must be reduced to 80% below
1990 levels on a global scale by 2050 to arrest the
effects of climate change. Although these goals were
not entirely consistent, all were acknowledged in
Edmonds' 2010 CAP.
Using the GHG inventory protocol in place in 2009
and the best available data for 1990, Edmonds'
communitywide GHG emissions in 1990 were
calculated to have been approximately 178,000 MT
CO2e. The estimated 2009 GHG emissions were
282,000 MT CO2e; therefore, the 2010 CAP stated
that by 2012, Edmonds' GHG emissions must be
reduced by at least 41 % to meet the Kyoto Protocol.

To meet the State -mandated reductions, GHG
emissions would need to be reduced 52% by 2035
and 68% by 2050, and this still would not be enough
to meet the IPCC target.
In 2017, responding to the Paris Agreement (signed
on Earth Day 2016) and advances in the science
and understanding of climate change, Edmonds
City Council passed Resolution 1389, starting the
process to produce this update to Edmonds' CAP.
In 2018, consultants were hired to prepare a new
GHG inventory and to advise the City on updating its
Climate Action Plan.
Updating the Inventory
The first step in the updating the plan was to prepare
a new inventory of "local" GHG emissions, using best
available data and current inventory protocols. Local
emissions means emissions that are generated within
Edmonds or directly as a result of energy consumed
in Edmonds. This allows the most direct comparison
to the previous (2009) inventory. The inventory
uses data from 2017, the most complete year of
data available when the inventory was conducted
in 2018. The updated inventory also incorporates
"imported" emissions, those associated with goods
purchased and consumed in Edmonds but that were
produced elsewhere in the world. For example, the
emissions associated with growing food in California
and shipping it to Edmonds would be "imported"
emissions, since they did not occur within Edmonds.
Imported emissions are important to consider in
personal lifestyle choices, but are difficult to estimate
on a communitywide scale due to the lack of
available data and the complexity of accounting for
them.
While the inventory of 2017 emissions showed a
slight increase in communitywide GHG, a direct
comparison of inventories could not be made
because of changes in the inventory protocols since
2009. Results of the GHG inventory are summarized
in Section 4 of the CAP, and the full inventory is
included in Appendix A.
Setting a Science -Based
Ta rg et
Advances in the scientific understanding of climate
change have improved our ability to predict
outcomes under various scenarios of global
response to and mitigation for global warming. For
example, we now can predict that an unmitigated
global temperature increase would translate to
summer temperatures in Edmonds that are 1 1 °F
higher than they were historically.
Better science has enabled better methods of
targeting the level of response needed, referred to
as science -based targets. See Appedix B for a fuller
discussion of science -based targets.
A science -based climate target sets a rate of climate
action' that is aligned with keeping average global
temperature increases below a specified level (such
as 2°C) compared to pre -industrial temperatures
A science -based target is based on the physical
characteristics of the earth's atmosphere and how
atmospheric changes are expected to affect the
biosphere. A science -based target represents
an overarching global target that humanity can
collectively work toward. Maintaining temperature
increases below a 20C threshold will allow the
majority, but not all, of the global population to avoid
the worst social, economic, and environmental effects
of climate change.' A target of 2°C is considered
the "guardrail" target by numerous international
organizations, including the United Nations.' As a
point of reference, the average temperature of the
earth is approximately 1.2°C (2.0°F) higher today
than at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
Figure 1 shows the GHG reduction paths necessary
to achieve these various outcomes. See Appendix B
for a memorandum on setting a science -based target
for the City of Edmonds.
In 2020, the Edmonds City Council adopted a
science -based target of 1.5°C with Resolution
1453. This is the aspirational target set in the Paris
Agreement and would substantially reduce many

of the worst potential effects that would occur if
warming is allowed to rise by 2°C. Achieving the
1.5°C target means eliminating or offsetting all
GHG emissions by 2050. Setting this target allows
Edmonds to compare its progress to a fixed and
measurable goal over the coming decades.
Assessing Edmonds'
Policies
The City and community of Edmonds have been
working toward many goals that will reduce or limit
the growth of GHG emissions. Some of these goals
were set because of climate change, while others
were set because of other priorities, like housing
affordability, resource conservation, and maintaining
a high quality of life in Edmonds. Many of these goals
are being implemented by incremental changes that
will take decades to have a measurable effect. As part
of this CAP Update, the City's consultants reviewed
climate action plans of 21 other cities and tabulated
almost 300 policies and strategies that will help
Edmonds meet its GHG emissions target.
The consultants also developed a GHG tracking tool,
a spreadsheet to create projections of GHG emission
reductions, and the ability to adjust assumptions
about the success of some of the most effective
strategies. This tool helps to understand what the
most effective strategies for Edmonds would be, and

will allow periodic updates on progress toward these
benchmark strategies, without the need to complete a
full GHG inventory.
A baseline or "business -as -usual" (BAU) assumption of
the GHG tracking tool is that GHG emissions will grow
in direct proportion to population and employment
growth in Edmonds (Figure 2). An adjusted BAU
baseline takes into account the effects expected
from various state and federal regulations that are
designed to reduce future energy consumption and
fossil fuel use in energy production, compared to
past patterns. This includes stricter federal vehicle
fuel mileage standards and state requirements
for renewable electrical energy. Enacted in 2019,
Washington State's Clean Energy Transformation Act
requires electricity to become carbon -neutral and
eventually carbon -free over the next 25 years. That
means that a substantial portion of Edmonds' annual
carbon footprint will be eliminated, putting the target
of carbon -neutrality by 2050 within reach.
The initial iteration of the GHG tracking tool showed
how much of a gap there could be between the
science -based target and what could be achieved
with the strategies that are already part of Edmonds
plans.

The GHG emissions associated with a particular
entity (individual, household, business, or
community) are sometimes referred to as a
"carbon footprint" A carbon footprint usually
refers to emissions during a specific time period,
such as a year.
Public Outreach
Throughout the process of this CAP Update, the
Mayor and City staff have sought input from the
Mayor's Climate Protection Committee, and briefed
the City Council. An open house was held in early
2019 to present results of the inventory and take
input on strategies the City should consider in
the future. The inventory was posted on the City
website to allow citizen review. The City's consultants
also prepared a paper on what other similar cities
are doing to reduce their communitywide GHG
emissions.
In late 2020 and early 2021, the gap revealed in the
initial iteration of the GHG tracking tool was shared
with the community. The City wanted to hear how
Edmonds residents feel about the effects of climate
change, and how they want to address the gap.

Edmonds residents were invited to provide input on
priorities and new strategies through a workshop
conducted online in March 2021, and through a
survey that was distributed both online and through
a random mailing. The results of the survey and
workshop are included in Appendix C.
The survey results indicate that a solid majority of
Edmonds residents consider the effects of climate
change to be concerning, with the highest concerns
being wildfire threat, threat to species and habitat,
and decreased air quality. One concern that
emerged from the workshop feedback was about
social equity, recognizing that the effects of climate
change fall disproportionately on people of limited
means. As a result, a new section on equity has been
added to the CAP.
In 2022, the plan was refined and presented again to
the community in two workshops. Public comment on
the strategies and actions has been considered and
incorporated into the current plan — see Appendix C
for a summary of the comments received. Among the
comments received were questions about the cost
of taking the proposed actions to address climate
change. The plan does not include an estimate of
implementation costs to the City or to its residents
and businesses, nor does it estimate the cost to its
residents and businesses of inaction. Any program
that requires funding through the City would require
budget approval, and costs will be considered at
12 INTRODUCTION

8.1.c
CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
that time. Similarly, regulatory actions considered
under this plan could have short- and long-term cost
implications, and those will be considered. What this
plan does recognize is that the global cost of doing
nothing to address human -caused climate change is
likely to be greater than the cost of taking action to
limit climate action.
Mitigation and Adaptation
Climate change is a dynamic process in which effects
from the past two centuries of carbon emissions
will be felt for decades to come. Efforts to reduce
or limit these effects by eliminating sources of GHG
emissions are broadly categorized as mitigation.
This includes steps like switching to electric vehicles
or reducing energy used for heating. Changes
made in response to the effects of climate change
are considered adaptation. This includes steps
like ensuring the stormwater system is capable
of handling more intense storms and will operate
even with sea level rise. Adaptation to climate
change will be needed, even under the best -case
scenarios of GHG emission elimination. Mitigation
measures address the underlying problem of
climate change by slowing or stopping the rise in
emissions. Adaptation is needed to help people and
governments withstand and minimize the ravages of
climate change that are already here or will be soon.
In the sections that follow, actions are identified
with the following symbols that indicate the relative
degree of effectiveness of the action at reducing
GHG emissions.
Some measures may be highly effective but the City
may have limited influence over them, such as those
dependent on state or federal legislation. Other
measures are much more within the City's influence,
such as zoning or local infrastructure planning. Both
types are included because some important steps
can only be accomplished through state or federal
action. In some cases, voluntary actions by individuals
on a large scale, such as the choice of what car to
purchase.
Imagine you are in a boat that has sprung a
leak. To address the source of the problem
means plugging the hole. But to avoid being
swamped, you need to start bailing. Both issues
need attention simultaneously.
In the face of climate change, humanity must
similarly act on two fronts at the same time —
mitigation and adaptation.
What is in this Plan
This plan focuses on the most important steps
Edmonds can take to address climate change. It
begins with a section on equity because addressing
climate change (or not doing so) has widely varying
implications for individuals of different socio-
economic backgrounds. The equity section sets the
stage for how we move forward together. The next
section summarizes the GHG inventory to provide a
sense of the scale of the problem of GHG emissions,
and where they come from. The CAP then lays out
a set of strategies for addressing climate change,
along with specifics for how those strategies will
be pursued. Sections on Buildings and Energy,
Transportation and Land Use, and Lifestyle and
Consumption primarily focus on mitigation — ways
the City will work to reduce GHG emissions. The
section on Environment adds strategies to ensure the
City is prepared to adapt to climate change. Within
each of these sections, the CAP describes why that
element is important, what the City has done to date,
and what is planned for the future.

Summary of GHG
Inventory Update
This is a brief summary of a community -wide GHG
inventory, which is presented in Appendix A. The
inventory was conducted by a consultant team
consisting of Environmental Science Associates and
Good Company. The inventory was completed in
early 2019 (referred to in this document as the 2019
inventory) based on data for 2017, the latest year for
which complete information was available, using the
Global Protocol for Community -Scale Greenhouse
Gas Inventories 1.1 (GPC 1.1).' The City produced
one previous inventory in 2009 (referred to as the
2009 inventory), using an earlier protocol and based
on data from 2000 and 2005. The 2009 inventory was
included in the 2010 CAP.
Edmonds' 2017 GHG emissions were estimated to be
about 750,000 MT CO2e, including both "local" and
"imported" emissions (Figure 5). "Local" emissions
are those that occur within the city limits, plus
emissions that result from electricity consumption
within the city limits. "Imported" emissions are
generated outside of Edmonds to produce the
goods, food, and services consumed in Edmonds, or
by the people of Edmonds while traveling outside of
the city, such as air travel. Total local and imported
emissions in 2017 were approximately 17.2 MT CO2e
per capita. For comparison, in 2017 the global per
capita average was 6.4 MT CO2e and the US average
was 17.3 MT CO2e2.

SUMMARY OF GHG INVENTORY UPDATE

CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
8.1.c
Local emissions in 2017 totaled about 306,000
MT CO2e (Figure 6), an increase in overall emissions
since 2000. This represents 7.2 MT CO2e per
Edmonds resident, a per capita rate that is essentially
unchanged since 2000. However, GHG inventory
protocols have changed since the previous inventory
was completed (see Appendix A for further detail).
Under GPC 1.1, the protocol used in this CAP
Update, several new categories of GHGs were
included, which increased the estimate of overall
emissions. The largest of these new categories is
fugitive refrigerant emissions - leaked extremely
potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration.

Figure 4: Local Emissions in Edmonds in 2017
As shown in Figure 6, emissions from operating
buildings and transportation continue to be the two
sectors with the largest local emissions sectors. Other
key observations from the new inventory include:
• Residential buildings in Edmonds have more
than double the impact of commercial buildings.
In 2017, 65% of electricity was consumed in
residential buildings, 29% in commercial, and 6%
in industrial.
• In 2017, 75% of natural gas was consumed by the
residential sector, nearly 25% by the commercial
sector, and less than 1 % was consumed by the
industrial sector.
• Passenger transport, primarily in cars, is the
leading source of transportation -related local
GHG emissions.
Imported emissions in 2017 were estimated at
444,000 MT CO2e, 44% more than Edmonds' local
emissions (see the light blue stack in Figure 5).
Imported emissions are not required reporting in
the GPC 1.1 protocol, due to accuracy limitations.
However, the scale of consumption -based emissions
is large enough to warrant inclusion in community
climate action plans.
Households with larger annual incomes typically
consume more and therefore generate more
imported GHG emissions than households with
smaller incomes. For example, GHG emissions
from material goods for a household with an
income above $120,000 are typically double that
of a household with an income of $10,000-40,000.
Edmonds' imported emissions are equivalent to
the annual emissions of about 95,000 passenger
vehicles, or the carbon sequestered annually by over
500,000 acres of average forest in the United States
- a land area about 40 times the size of the City of
Edmonds.

8.1.c
Comparison to the
Previous Inventory
In the City's previous inventory (covering the
years 2000 and 2005), only local emissions were
considered, so those are the only emissions that can
be compared with the inventory prepared as part of
this CAP Update. The following general conclusions
can be drawn from comparing the past inventory
years with the 2017 inventory:
• In 2017, Edmonds had not reduced its local
GHG emissions in accordance with the targets
listed in the 2010 CAP. Total emissions rose since
2000, and per capita emissions have remained
essentially the same, while the CAP aimed to
reduce emissions substantially by 2017.
The current protocol requires the use of a higher
GHG emission factor (termed Carbon Intensity)
for electricity than was used in the 2009 inventory,
based on characteristics of the regional electricity
grid (see Appendix A). By instead using the local
Carbon Intensity factor for electricity supplied
by the Snohomish County Public Utility District
(SnoPUD), the inventory substantially reduced the
GHG emissions from electricity.
• GHG emissions from electricity consumption
decreased 7% between 2000 and 2017, reflecting
greater energy efficiency and conservation.
Natural gas use rose 25%, a higher rate than
population and employment growth since
2000, and rose particularly among commercial
users. This could mean that some of the overall
reduction in electricity consumption was due to
conversion to natural gas use, rather than energy
conservation.
StTransportation emissions up Natural Gas Use up Electricty use down
27% t 25% t 7%1
SINCE 2000 i SINCE 2000 SINCE 2000
• The largest driver increasing Edmonds' emissions
is on -road transportation, which increased 27%
between 2000 and 2017.
Vehicle miles traveled (VMT), a measure used
to develop an estimate of the GHG emissions
from transportation, cannot be estimated for the
Edmonds community with high accuracy using
existing data, and is generally assumed to be
similar throughout Snohomish County on a per
capita basis. As a result, GHG emissions increased
not only due to Edmonds' population increase,
but also because VMT per capita in the county
rose from 2000 to 2017.
See the full inventory in Appendix A for further detail
At best, due to data limitations, a GHG inventory
prepared at a community scale provides a rough
estimate of the community's emissions. The inventory
follows a globally accepted protocol and provides
sufficiently accurate information to assess the scale
of emissions from various sectors, which is valuable
in setting strategies and priorities for reducing
GHG emissions. Improved inventory protocols and
recordkeeping should make future inventories more
accurate and allow for more precise tracking of
progress as well as comparisons overtime.

CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
This chapter focuses on frontline communities,
how they may experience climate change, their role
in addressing climate change, and climate equity.
Frontline communities are those
most likely to be affected by climate change.
Frontline communities are also often
more resource efficient than the general
population, with lifestyles that help achieve
the community's climate action goals. They
often live in higher density housing, consume
less energy per capita, and rely on public
transit. However, intersecting vulnerabilities
and socioeconomic determinants such as
preexisting health conditions, physical location,
historic marginalization, social context, and
income stability can make these communities
more susceptible to threats of climate change.
For example, elderly people and people who
perform outdoor labor may be more vulnerable
to changes in climate and environmental
conditions. Frontline communities may
include the elderly; low-income households;
undocumented immigrants; Black, Indigenous,
and People of Color (BIPOC) communities;
speakers with limited English proficiency;
individuals experiencing homelessness; those
already suffering from chronic diseases; and
others.
Equity
Frontline Communities
as Stewards
Frontline communities are stewards in the
conversation around climate change. Due to limited
resources, limited mobility, and other factors,
frontline communities often have a smaller carbon
footprint and are also the first to explore ways to
adapt to climate change. An elderly person on a
limited fixed income learns to conserve resources,
consume less, and find ways of enjoying life that fit
within their resources. An immigrant family facing
high housing and childcare costs may expand their
household to include multiple generations, sharing
housing costs and family duties. These types of
adaptations may not be motivated by a concern
about climate change, but they do have lower carbon
emissions through limited household consumption
and reduced vehicular trips. Frontline communities
can be a source of innovation and expertise on how
to make resources go further.

8.1.c
Institutional Racism and
Environmental Justice
Historically, discrimination against BIPOC
communities has led to geographic segregation
that reinforced and exacerbated economic, social,
and environmental inequities. Like many suburban
communities in the Puget Sound region, Edmonds
grew rapidly during a period when banking and
real estate practices openly discriminated against
non -white people. Reinforced by federal policy
established in the 1930s, "red -lining" limited the
availability of home loans in neighborhoods with
high concentration of BIPOC people, thereby
constricting the ability of BIPOC people to
accumulate wealth. These neighborhoods were
also considered appropriate places for polluting
industries, resulting in elevated exposure to
pollutants by residents of these areas. At the
same time, it was common practice not to offer
property in white neighborhoods for sale or rent
to BIPOC people. Often this was reinforced by
property covenants, and in some cases by local law.
Racially discriminatory covenants were determined
unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court in 1948,
and any form of housing discrimination based on
race or ethnicity has been illegal in the United States
since the Fair Housing Act of 1968.' However, openly
discriminatory practices continued into the 1970s,
and studies have shown that BIPOC individuals are
still discriminated against in the housing market.'
Because Edmonds was a suburban city that grew
by more than tenfold in the period from 1930 to
1980, its racial makeup was profoundly affected by
these conditions. As a result, Edmonds' population is
approximately 75% non -Hispanic white, higher than
both the county and state averages.3 Even within
Edmonds, BIPOC population varies widely among
different census tracts. Because of the effects of
historic racism, this also means that some areas have
concentrations of people with less wealth, which can
limit options for housing, education, mobility, and
employment.
In addition, Edmonds is on the traditional lands of the
Coast Salish Peoples who still live here and throughout
the region, and whose ancestors resided in this region
since time immemorial. Despite treaties intended to
protect their access to the resources they depend
on, both racism and environmental degradation
diminished their access to those resources. Climate
change will further impact the daily activities and
longstanding traditions of the region's Indigenous
communities. It is imperative to meaningfully include
those communities in climate change conversations
and solutions.
Edmonds' responsibility for frontline communities
is rooted in its history and in the community's
longstanding commitment to all its residents. Given
this history, special attention needs to be given to how
climate adaptation strategies affect financial equity
and ability to build intergenerational wealth within
frontline communities.
Climate Equity in
Edmonds
There are numerous ways in which environmental
justice intersects with climate change and equity. This
section outlines a few of the issues that Edmonds
faces. A fuller assessment is one of the actions called
for in the Climate Action Plan.
Edmonds has distinct neighborhoods including
the Bowl, the Highway 99 Corridor, and others. The
Bowl encompasses the waterfront, a downtown
business district, and the ferry terminal. The Highway
99 Corridor is a commercial center for Edmonds
and includes the Health, International, and Gateway
Districts along a 2-mile stretch of Washington State
Route 99 (SR-99). Geographic and socioeconomic
factors create unique exposures and outcomes
in each of these areas. For example, the Bowl
experiences cooler temperatures than along SR
99 during hot weather events due to proximity to
Puget Sound. Communities along the Highway 99
Corridor generally experience greater vulnerability to
environmental health disparities than other parts of
Edmonds. There is also a large population of people

environmental equity intersect include tree canopy,
open space, air pollution, and safe streets.
Tree canopy varies throughout Edmonds. Areas with
less canopy tend to develop "heat island" effects due
to less shade, making these areas more vulnerable
to higher summer temperatures. Trees also help to
reduce air pollutants within a local microclimate. In
some areas, the lack of tree canopy has been the
result of a lack of public investment in street trees
and open space.
Open space not only provides places for trees but
also for exercise, respite, and community gardens.
Especially in areas with higher density housing,
public open space is an important component of
public health. Frontline communities especially can
benefit from investment in open space when it is
designed to serve the needs of those communities,
and those investments can also help Edmonds reach
its climate goals. For example, community gardens

provide a place where people can grow food that not
only keeps their cost of living down but also reduces
the greenhouse gas emissions from food imported
from outside the city.
Air pollution, while not an issue in much of Edmonds
due to ample air movement, can be an issue in areas
with a high concentration of vehicular and especially
truck traffic, like the Highway 99 Corridor. Supporting
the conversion to electric vehicles will benefit
frontline communities in these areas, and there
may be other measures the City can take to reduce
exposure to pollutants in dense neighborhoods, such
as limiting idling.
Safe streets are another component of resilient
communities. Many of the actions in the Climate
Action Plan focus on reducing vehicle miles traveled
as a means to reduce GHG emissions. For those
strategies to work, alternative modes of travel must
be available, especially for the areas where most
of Edmonds growth is expected to go, in centers
identified in the Comprehensive Plan. However,
many of the centers do not have streets complete
with safe places to walk or bicycle, especially those
near Highway 99. Historically, the areas with the least
developed street infrastructure have also been where
lower cost multifamily development has occurred.
By listening to and addressing the needs of frontline
communities in these areas, the city can help to reach
its climate action goals in a manner that reduces
some of these past inequities.
Centering equity
Centering equity means ensuring that people who
will experience the brunt of climate impacts are
actively engaged in and providing leadership to
efforts that identify and prioritize vulnerabilities and
develop solutions to address those vulnerabilities.
The City of Edmonds has been working to integrate
equity considerations into planning, demonstrated
by the formation of a Diversity Commission in 2015
and the Mayor's Equity and Social Justice Task Force
in 2020, as well as other planning goals, such as the
city's long-term vision to offer affordable housing
with walking and transit access.4
Some community improvements in response to
climate change may lead to unintended effects, such
as exacerbating displacement and gentrification.
Therefore, in considering future climate programs,
plans, and policies, it will be important for the City
of Edmonds to apply an equity lens, and to guard
against maladaptive practices.
Public participation for the climate action process in
2021 included a virtual open house and community
workshops, accompanied by a survey to provide
feedback on current proposed strategies and
recommend potential new ones. Feedback from this
outreach included suggestions that the City should
consider equity in its efforts to address climate
change, including helping those who could least
afford to adapt to the effects of climate change. As
a result, this section has been added to the CAP
Update. Community involvement will continue to
play an integral role in climate planning in Edmonds.
An equity lens may include analysis by asking questions such as: Who is most affected by decisions, and
therefore should be at the table? Who is not at the table? How can they be included? Is there a diverse
representation from a range of lived experience on project teams and in decision -making roles? Who
benefits from the project, program, or policy? Who is adversely impacted? Are the voices of frontline
communities being heard, and is their input being considered?

Co-benef its of climate
equity strategies
Many of the actions that address climate change
can improve the health and wellbeing of frontline
communities. For example, retrofitting homes for
energy efficiency can help low-income households
reduce their utility payments and experience greater
safety during extreme weather events, with the
co -benefit of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Other common co -benefits of adaptation strategies
are related to health, financial stability, education,
improved mobility, and support of businesses.
Integrating climate change into permitting and land
use planning can result in benefits such as mixed and
joint open space -affordable housing developments,
and expanding access to local food sources.
By instituting measures to deal with climate impacts,
Edmonds can plan for climate change in a way
that protects frontline communities and provides
an equitable distribution of costs, benefits, and
opportunities for all members of the community.
By investing in skilled workers, green workforce
development training, and new low carbon
technologies like clean energy and renewable
materials, Edmonds can support new engines
for green job growth and sustainable economic
prosperity.
In partnership with other public agencies and
community -based organizations, the City of
Edmonds has an important role to alleviate historic
disparities, educate and engage the public on
climate change issues, and to promote community
involvement in actions to reduce climate change
risks. In the strategies described in this plan, some of
the most obvious equity issues are mentioned. As the
City of Edmonds updates its comprehensive plan and
develops new initiatives to address climate change,
we will continue to center equity comprehensively
and and take meaningful steps to address the issues
surrounding climate change.

Buildings and
The Problem, Strategy,
and Benefits:
Energy used in the occupancy and operation
of buildings is the largest source of local GHG
emissions in Edmonds (Figure 7). Because Edmonds
is largely residential, residential buildings emit
roughly twice the quantity of GHGs that commercial
and industrial buildings in Edmonds emit.
Building emissions are about equally split between
natural gas and electricity, although a small portion
of homes are also heated with heating oil. At present,
most electricity in Washington is generated through
hydropower, wind, nuclear, and solar, sources that
have very low GHG emissions. Snohomish PUD,
which provides Edmonds with electricity, obtains
over 95% of its electricity from carbon -free sources
and is on track to achieving 100%.' As discussed
in more detail in the GHG inventory (Appendix A),
some electricity on the regional grid comes from
either coal or natural gas generation equipment,
with the latter being important especially for peak
demand periods. The Clean Energy Transformation
Act (CETA), passed in 2019 by the Washington
legislature, requires all electricity to be carbon
neutral by 2030, and carbon -free by 2045. This
will eventually drive down GHG emissions from
buildings significantly, especially from those heated
by electricity, but fossil fueled heating, cooking, and
hot water will continue to be a substantial source of
emissions unless further action is taken.

While electrical consumption in Edmonds declined
by 7% from 2000 to 2017, natural gas consumption
rose by 25%. Efforts to conserve electricity remain
important, but reducing fossil fuel use must be a key
area of focus to reach the ultimate goal of net -zero
carbon emissions from buildings in Edmonds by
2050.
The main uses for carbon -based fuels in homes
are heating and cooling (34% of total energy use),
hot water (30%), and cooking (3%) (see Figure 8).
In residential buildings and especially in detached
homes, natural gas is the most common fuel used for
heating and hot water.2 It is also common for cooking
and gas fireplaces. For residential buildings, GHG
reduction strategies that focus on homes using
carbon -based fuels, and especially heating and
hot water, will have the greatest effect.
Refers to a target of completely negating the
amount of GHGs produced by a specific human
activity or facility, to be achieved by reducing
emissions and implementing methods of
absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Because housing is a basic need, considerations
of social equity are important. Low-income urban
households have an energy burden —the proportion
of income spent on energy —three times higher than
that of non -low-income households, due to lack of
weatherization and older equipment.3 For example,
natural gas is less expensive for hot water production
than a conventional hot water heater. Heating water
with an electric heat pump cost less to operate, but
the equipment is typically more expensive than
natural gas hot water heaters. Although converting
to a heat -pump hot-water system would reduce GHG
emissions and energy bills, lower income households
often cannot afford the initial expense. Strategies
that consider such equity issues will focus on
helping those who are least able to afford to
make the conversion that is needed to meet
the goal.

Similarto residential buildings, heating and hot

have processes that also require carbon -based fuels
Determining what types of operations use carbon -
based fuels and what can be done to reduce their
GHG footprint can be complicated, but the basic
needs of heating and hot water production are
common to all. Restaurants often use natural gas
for cooking and in some cases for heating outdoor
eating areas. As with residences, there are many

small business owners for whom GHG reduction
could be especially burdensome, and social equity
consideration should be part of the discussion.
Supporting businesses' efforts to become more
energy efficient reinforces community resilience at
the same time it reduces GHG emissions.
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is also making efforts for
its gas supply to be carbon neutral. PSE has begun
experimenting with carbon neutral "renewable
natural gas" and other sources to replace fossil fuel,
and aims to sell carbon neutral natural gas by 2045.
Unlike electric sources, however, there is no State
mandate for natural gas at this time, and it is not clear
how or if PSE will attain its stated goals. Therefore,
this CAP Update uses the conservative
assumption that natural gas will continue to
be predominantly fossil fuel, and takes the
strategy of supporting statewide legislation
similar to the Clean Energy Transformation Act
(CETA) to reduce the carbon footprint of natural
gas supplies.
The City has taken steps to address these issues but
more must be done to meet the target by 2050.
RNG is a pipeline -quality gas that is fully
interchangeable with conventional natural
gas. RNG is essentially biogas (the gaseous
product of the decomposition of organic
matter, such as wood or agricultural waste)
that has been processed to purity standards.
What the City has
already done:
• In 2007, became an ENERGY STAR partner with
the EPA, employing the ENERGY STAR Portfolio
Manager to track monthly consumption of
energy use in 16 City -owned buildings.
In April 2008, adopted Edmonds' Sustainable
Building Policy (Council Resolution 1168). It
established the LEED Silver standard, developed
by the US Green Building Council, for new
commercial or civic buildings of greater than
5,000 square feet and for renovation of existing
structures when the increase in value amounts
to more than 50% of assessed value. It also
emphasized Life Cycle Cost Analysis.
• In 2009, adopted a "Sustainability Element" in
the City's Comprehensive Plan that included a
commitment to review building codes as they
pertain to heat, insulation, and energy efficiency
• Joined the Cascade Agenda as a member city
and endorsed the Cascade Agenda principles
of making the city "complete, compact, and
connected."
• Completed an energy audit of major City
buildings and facilities to identify opportunities
for improved efficiency.
• Reduced electrical usage at the library by
approximately 45% after completing a capital
improvement project.
Since the last CAP was prepared (2070):
• Upgraded the wastewater treatment plant
with new technology that reduced electrical
consumption by 19% and fuel oil consumption
by 44%, a reduction of 221 MT CO2e annually.
• The City purchased 36 energy use meters, which
are available to residents and small business
owners to check-out for a free two -week period.
• Upgraded energy efficiency of City facilities,
including interior lighting, insulation, and 10kW
of community solar at the Anderson Center;
insulated glazing at City Hall; and high efficiency
boiler and hot water tank at the Public Safety

Strategies and Actions:
Significant reductions in GHG emissions from buildings can be obtained by pursuing several practical
measures that fall into three basic strategies:
Strategy BE-1: Replace Fossil Fuels used in Buildings
with Renewable Energy Resources
With the passage of CETA, electricity will be carbon free by 2045; thus, any all -electric buildings will
have eliminated their GHG emissions for energy. Conversion from fossil fuel to electricity will do the
most to accomplish this strategy. This includes changing heating and hot water systems, including
outdoor heating and lawn care equipment, and water conservation devices. Adding solar generation to
buildings prior to 2030 will help speed this effort, and will add to community energy resilience through
local generation of electricity.

8.1.c
Strategy BE-2: Improve Energy Efficiency
of Existing Buildings and Infrastructure
Energy consumption in buildings could be cut by about 30-50%through investment in energy efficiency.
Up to 20% of US households have heating equipment that is more than 20 years old. Modern appliances
and equipment with ENERGY STAR ratings can be as much as 80% more efficient than the equipment
it replaces. Low-income urban households have an energy burden —the proportion of income spent on
energy —three times higher than that of higher income households, partially due to lack of weatherization.
Improved energy efficiency can lower living costs and improve the quality of housing, while also reducing
GHG emissions. The City will continue to encourage energy efficiency upgrades in existing buildings.
The City already has programs aimed at reducing energy consumption at its wastewater treatment plant
and reducing water consumption. The City will also examine the feasibility of converting all City
facilities to electric heating and hot water.
The City will continue to promote energy -efficiency programs sponsored by the utilities and energy
companies, including water conservation. To support PSE's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint, the City
will support statewide legislation to require natural gas supply systems to be carbon neutral

Transportation
and Land Use
The problem, strategy,
and benefits
Transportation accounts for 40% of local GHG
emissions in Edmonds —our second largest source
(see Figure 5). Although the City of Edmonds has
little control over traffic on our highways, fuel -
efficiency standards, fuel taxes, or technological
breakthroughs, choices that the City and community
make regarding land use, use of electric or high -
efficiency vehicles, and support for infrastructure all
influence local GHG emissions from transportation.
Development in Edmonds is predominantly
residential. As a result, most Edmonds residents
commute outside of the city for employment, and
the majority do much of their shopping outside of
the city. In Edmonds, an estimated 80% of the GHG
emissions from the transportation sector are from
passenger vehicles (Figure 9). Approximately 71 % of
workers in Edmonds commuted in private vehicles
in 2017, and over half had commutes of longer than
20 minutes.' By making more goods, services, and
employment available within Edmonds, residents
could reduce the need to travel for daily activities.
This means encouraging commercial development
in mixed -use urban centers such as downtown
Edmonds, Westgate, and Five Corners.
Currently, transportation is heavily dependent on
fossil fuels. A considerable amount of fossil fuel is
also required to produce and deliver goods and
services to residents of Edmonds — emissions that
are not produced locally. In addition, as a relatively
affluent community, Edmonds residents often use
air travel for work and recreation, another source
of GHGs not produced locally but attributable to

our lifestyle. Figure 10 shows the sources of GHG
emissions from various transportation modes,
including these imported emissions.
Reducing GHG emissions from transportation can
be accomplished by traveling in vehicles that use
less fossil fuel per passenger mile travelled or by
reducing the number of vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
Transit use generates fewer GHG emissions per
passenger mile than using fossil fuel -powered private
vehicles. Edmonds has access to bus and rail transit,
but only about 9% of workers use transit to commute.
Recent expansion of Bus Rapid Transit in the Highway
99 corridor and expanding Sound Transit light rail in
the 1-5 corridor will increase opportunities for transit
use by Edmonds residents. Further improvement
such as transit hubs, shuttles, "last -mile" services,
ridership promotion, and electrification of transit
vehicles can help reduce GHG emissions from
transportation. In addition, electric vehicles and plug-
in hybrid vehicles can replace use of fossil fuels with
electricity, which, as discussed above, will soon be
carbon neutral in Washington State, and eventually
carbon -free.
Reducing the number of miles traveled can be
accomplished by changes in land use patterns as
well as by changes in work location and commuting
habits. Land use patterns that provide housing close
to shopping and employment reduce the distance to
destinations and facilitate efficient transit use. Where
there are safe and convenient routes, more people
choose walking or riding a bicycle for short trips, such
as shopping, travel to school, or visiting friends, as
well as for regular commuting. Working from home,
which has become much more common during the
current pandemic, also reduces commute trips.

Strategies and Actions:
Five strategies that are essential for reducing GHG from transportation include:
Strategy TR-1: Reduce VMT through Sustainable Land Use
One of the most effective ways the City of Edmonds can address emissions from transportation is through
regulating how our city is developed, including the promotion of local businesses in mixed -use centers.
Business hubs provide readily available and nearby goods, services, and employment for surrounding
neighborhoods. This shortens travel distances and makes walking and biking more attractive. Every unit
of housing constructed in an urban center represents a reduction of approximately 1.5 MT
CO2e annually, compared to the average home in Edmonds. Edmonds has many attractive multi-
family areas and has planned for nearly all its future growth to occur in these types of centers.
Actions:
TR-1: Reduce VMT through Sustainable Land Use
TR-1.1 Adopt a multimodal level of service to enable complete A
streets outcomes. tl�� High
TR-1.2 Develop code and guidelines and zoning that support
mixed -use and transit -oriented (Highway 99 and downtown) A

by increasing commercial capacity by allowing commercial
uses in more locations, by permitting more intensive uses, High
or reducing parking requirements in areas well served by
transit.

Strategy TR-2: Reduce VMT by Improving Transit Systems
Edmonds is served by Community Transit buses and Sound Transit commuter rail. However, relatively
few workers regularly commuted by transit in 2017. With the pandemic, travel patterns are changing.
Community Transit already provides discounted fares to seniors, low income and youth riders. This
strategy includes supporting increased transit service, efficiency, and reliability within Edmonds (e.g., to
shopping, medical, schools, and recreation) and connections to regional transit, with the goal of greater
transit use by commuters, residents and visitors, and an associated reduction in VMT.
Actions:

Strategy TR-3: Reduce VMT by Committing to a Complete Street
Approach
Walking and biking do not generate GHGs. However, in many areas of Edmonds walkers and bikers
do not feel safe because of the lack of separated and protected routes. Improvements such as Safe
Routes to School, additional and safer bike lanes, convenient bicycle parking, and more
improved and extended sidewalks make it easier for people to choose these alternate modes.
Currently, only 2.4% of workers in Edmonds walk or bike to work. Every shift of mileage from gasoline -
powered automobiles to non -motorized modes reduces GHG emissions, not only by reducing VMT, but
also by reducing congestion and vehicle idling.

Strategy TR-4: Reduce VMT through Vehicle Sharing and Flexible
Work Requirements
Carpooling and vanpooling have been available options for commuters for decades, but have been
utilized in Edmonds only on a limited basis. Flexible work schedules, such as working from home or
having 4-day work weeks, have also been little utilized until the COVID-19 pandemic. Many office workers
have switched at least temporarily to working from home either full time or part time, with the effect
of reducing VMT for commuting. Since most working residents of Edmonds are employed outside of
Edmonds, the City has little control or influence over working conditions or requirements, but through
education and outreach may be able to help and encourage Edmonds residents to continue to use these
types of commute trip reduction measures. The City can also facilitate carpooling at local employers by
requiring that designated parking spaces be provided.

Strategy TR-5: Promote Low -Carbon Vehicles and Other Methods
of Reducing Emissions from Vehicles
Fossil fuel -powered cars and trucks are the largest component of the GHG emissions from transportation
in Edmonds. Conversion to electrically powered vehicles can eliminate or substantially reduce GHG
emissions, and such adoption is accelerating, especially as many major manufacturers commit to phasing
out fossil -fueled vehicles. As of December 2021 there were 745 battery -electric and 212 plug-in hybrid
vehicles registered in Edmonds, an increase of nearly 144% since 2017, but still just over 2% of the
vehicles. In Norway, electric vehicle sales rose from 1 % to 65% in 10 years.2 The primary role the City
can play is to help create the charging infrastructure needed in public places and in existing
and new development. The City can also continue to replace its own fleet, educate the public to better
understand the technology, and support electrification of transit, ferries, and commercial transport.
In addition, while many fossil -fueled vehicles remain in use, the City can reduce emissions through

CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
Environment
The problem, strategy,
and benefits:
Climate action also includes preparing for and
adapting to climate change. Our environment,
consisting of both natural systems and the built
environment, is being affected by climate change
in numerous ways, some of which we understand
very clearly, and some we are only beginning to
understand. At a global scale, these include:
• Changes in temperature and precipitation that
affect the supply of water and food for hundreds
of millions of people.'
• Flooding and inundation due to sea level rise
that affect nearly every coastal community in the
world, inundating the residences of millions of
people, most of whom live in cities, as well as
changing patterns of coastal erosion.2
• Ocean acidification, reduced polar ice, and other
climate shifts that are reducing the range of
habitats for numerous plant and animal species,
and inducing the migration of many species.'
Edmonds, although small, contributes to these
impacts through GHG emissions. Through outreach
on this plan, the Edmonds community has indicated
it wants to ensure that the carbon sequestered in
its urban forests and natural areas is maintained or
increased, along with efforts to eliminate most of its
GHG emissions over time. Edmonds also wants to
explore other ways that its emissions could be offset
by sequestration. The strategies described below
address these approaches for sequestration.
1 Munia et al. 2020; Mbow et al. 2019.
2 Climate Central 2015.
3 IPCC2019.
4 Snover et al. 2019.
5 Mauger et al. 2015.
Edmonds will also feel the effects of these global
changes, such as increasing human migration,
resource conflicts, disruptions to food and other
production systems, and other effects. It is difficult to
predict how these larger scale effects will manifest
locally. Many regional and local effects, however,
can be predicted with reasonable certainty. The
probability of any particular outcome is typically
expressed as a range because much depends on
how well the world society responds to climate
issues. If one has high degree of faith that society will
respond quickly and extensively, then the lower end
of the range is more likely. If one doubts that society
will respond quickly, the higher range should be
considered the more likely outcome.
Regionally and locally, climate change is expected to
include:
• Higher temperatures, including more extreme
high temperatures in summer. By mid-century,
average annual temperatures in the Puget Sound
region are projected to increase by 4.2°F to 5.5°F
(2.3°C to 3.1 °C) compared to the 1970-1999
average, and continue to rise through at least
2100.4 The hottest temperatures are expected to
rise by over 60F (3.30C).
• More frequent and more intense precipitation
events in the Puget Sound region.' For Example,
King County anticipates a 7%to 54% increase
in the 10-year hourly rainfall event by 2080.
(Although estimates have not yet been made
for Snohomish County, results are likely to be
similar.)
• More rainfall instead of snow in the winter,
resulting in 38%-46% less snowpack in the
Cascades, and decreasing summer water
supplies and summer streamflows.'
ENVIRONMENT
Packet Pg. 201
CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
8.1.c
• Increasing frequency of wildfire and length of
wildfire season along the West Coast including
inland areas east of the Cascades, with
associated smoke reaching Puget Sound.
An 89% likelihood that sea level in Edmonds will
rise 1 foot by 2100, and a 1 % chance that it will
rise by 5 feet or more. In either case, sea level will
continue to rise into the next century.6
These effects have already begun. Globally, the
years 2013-2021 all rank among the 10 warmest
years on record, with 2021 being the 6th warmest
on record. Locally, 2021 included the three hottest
days on record. Downtown Edmonds saw its first
ever temperature of 100 degrees, giving a taste of
what higher future temperature extremes mean for
the region. Tides in early 2022 reached record highs
throughout Puget Sound. In the Puget Sound region
in 2018, wildfire smoke led to 24 days of poor air
quality, including nine days that were considered
either unhealthy for sensitive groups or unhealthy for
everyone.
The ways these changes will affect frontline
communities in Edmonds need to be better
understood, but we do know that some people
will have a harder time adapting than others. For
example, extreme summer heat causes heat stress,
including death. More than 80% of deaths from
heat stress are among people over 60 years of age,
and Edmonds has a high percentage of people in
this age group.? The problems of heat stress are
compounded when air quality is poor, because
keeping windows open allows dangerous levels
of particulates. Again, older individuals are among
the most susceptible, as are young children and
others. Many homes in Edmonds do not have
air conditioning, and the cost of purchasing and
operating air conditioners can be especially hard
for people living on lower and fixed incomes.
Community solutions to these types of issues may
range from emergency cooling centers, to subsidies
for energy -efficient cooling systems, to planting trees
for shade.

Edmonds must consider strategies for adapting to
the effects from climate change that include:
• Extreme heat events that will place stress on
residents, especially those who do not have air
conditioning in their homes.
• Sea level rise that will frequently inundate areas
of the Edmonds waterfront and downtown
before the end of the century.
• Changes in storm intensity that could overwhelm
stormwater systems and damage roads and
other infrastructure.
• Risk of water shortages during hotter, drier
summers.
• Air quality issues due to wildfire smoke.
What the City has
already done:
• Adopted stringent policies to preserve our
wetlands in the late 1980s and to limit the
impacts of hillside development in the 1990s.
• Committed to a set of environmental principles,
policies, and goals for future action with
Resolution 1700 (April 2008).
• Recognized the interrelated nature of
environmental, economic, and social
sustainability through the Sustainability Element
of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Since the last CAP was prepared (2070):
• Added requirements for shade trees and rain
gardens in parking lots to land use code.
• Identified tree canopy coverage and areas where
it could be increased
• Continued education and outreach programs for
watershed and water conservation awareness
and other environmental concerns.
• Adopted an integrated pest management
approach in parks resulting in a 60% reduction in
pesticide use, and currently phasing out use of
"Roundup".
• Utilizing "in-house" wood chips and leaf mulch
for weed suppression and soil building in parks.
ENVIRONMENT
Packet Pg. 203
8.1.c
CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
Strategies and Actions:
To address these concerns, Edmonds will pursue three general strategies:
Strategy EN-1: Increase Carbon Sequestration
As noted in the GHG Inventory section, Edmonds is currently emitting GHGs and will likely continue to do so,
even under the most optimistic scenarios. Forests, marshes, and even garden landscapes have the capacity
to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it as carbon in wood, leaves, and roots, which is
sometimes called carbon sequestration. Plants also reduce the potential for heat buildup, such as occurs in
concentrated areas of paving and buildings, and can reduce energy costs for cooling. Forests provide benefits
such as reducing runoff and erosion and removing toxic substances from air and water, as well as providing
recreational and aesthetic values. For these reasons, Edmonds should preserve and, where feasible, expand its
urban forest and natural areas.
Edmonds adopted an Urban Forest Management Plan in 2019 to provide guidance for managing, enhancing,
and growing trees in the City of Edmonds over the next 20 years. Special emphasis is placed on managing trees
on public property and along the public rights -of -way. The plan includes goals to maintain citywide canopy
coverage, manage public trees, incentivize protecting and planting trees on private property, and inform the
community on tree selection, planting, and care (e.g., "right tree, right place").
The Edmonds Marsh is another natural area with carbon sequestration potential. Although the sequestration
potential has not been determined, plans for restoring this area to an intertidal marsh come with hopes that this
could also have the benefit of increasing the carbon stored in the soils of the marsh.
Actions:
Strategy EN-1: Increase Carbon Sequestration
EN-1.1 Adopt a canopy coverage target for the city.
High
EN-1.2 Identify pockets of woodlands and marsh land that the City
High
could purchase to add to our parks system.
EN-1.3 Identify City parks and open spaces where carbon
High
sequestration could be increased.
EN-1.4 For fee -in -lieu mitigation sites, prioritize sites that sequester
High
carbon.
EN-1.5 Update the City Street Tree Plan to prioritize increasing tree
cover in appropriate places along the city's street rights -of -way,
High
especially in areas of low canopy coverage.
EN-1.6 Explore application of biochar from the wastewater treatment
plant to sequester carbon and improve soils in parks and
High
residential developments.
EN-1.7 Assess the health of and changing stress on Edmonds' urban
forest and develop strategies to prevent loss of trees to heat,
Moderate
drought, and insects.
48 ENVIRONMENT
Packet Pg. 204
8.1.c
CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
Strategy EN-2: Explore Other Methods for Offsetting Edmonds'
GHG Emissions
Edmonds can also meet its GHG reduction goals by purchasing offsets for its GHG emissions. Carbon
offsets allow a business, a government, or an individual to pay someone else to eliminate a given quantity
of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Numerous ways are being explored for sequestering carbon,
including industrial technology, modified agricultural practices, planting forests, and restoring salt marshes
or kelp forests. This strategy can also benefit other community sustainability goals such as supporting local
agriculture or salmon recovery.
Offsets might also include regional or international efforts such as buying cleaner -burning cookstoves in
developing countries to reduce deforestation, financing a wind turbine generator that displaces fossil fuels on
the power grid, or restoring a section of tropical forest that takes in carbon from the atmosphere. Advocates say
that offsets combat climate change, protect nature, and route money to the parts of the planet that need it the
most, and must be part of the solution to limit warming.
However, carbon offset projects have a history of overpromising and underdelivering. Proper accountability
and permanence can be difficult to ensure. Critics of offsets say they allow people to continue emitting GHGs
and avoid responsibility for doing so. Any use of offsets must include a thorough vetting of the offset program,
whether local, regional, or international. Otherwise, the supposed benefit may evaporate.
This strategy includes disclosing the social and mortality cost of any carbon emissions that have not been offset.
Actions:
EN-2: Explore Other Methods for Offsetting Edmonds' GHG Emissions
EN-2.1 Develop a periodic calculation of the gap between
Edmonds'targeted and actual GHG emissions reductions,
High

to keep the public informed on progress.

Strategy EN-3: Prepare for the Impacts of Climate Change
The impacts of climate change are widespread, and this CAP Update does not provide a full account
of the extent or severity of each type of risk. This strategy focuses on preparing a more complete
assessment of local risks and developing specific adaptation measures from that assessment. This
includes planning for sea level rise, extreme heat, higher intensity storms, constrained water supply in
summer, and other effects.
Effective planning for these types of changes can have multifaceted benefits. Adapting to sea level rise
can include measures that improve and protect habitat as well as property. Techniques like increasing
urban forest cover or designing energy -efficient buildings can result in better habitat and greater
year-round comfort. Managing stormwater can include methods like increasing infiltration, which can
benefit habitat and water quality. Reducing water use can save energy and benefit fish by protecting
streamflows.
Actions:
EN-3: Prepare for the Impacts of Climate Change
EN-3.1 When planning for any climate change adaptations, include
an assessment of which parts of the community would
High
be most affected and who would benefit most from the
measures proposed.

High
EN-3.3 Evaluate the risks to stormwater infrastructure from higher

High
per capita water use 7% by the year 2035.
EN-3.5 Include measures in the City's Emergency Management Plan

Consumption
The problem,
strategy, benefits:
Our lifestyles, and particularly our consumption
habits, have a large effect on GHG emissions.
As described in the GHG Inventory, much of our
consumption results in GHG emissions somewhere
other than Edmonds, and these emissions are
referred to Imported Emissions. The scale of
Imported Emissions is significantly larger than
Edmonds' local emissions. The largest sources of
these emissions include goods and furniture, meat
and dairy, transportation fuels and air travel, clothing,
and food.
c,.
Households with larger annual incomes typically
consume more and therefore generate more GHGs
than households with smaller incomes. Figure 13
highlights this relationship. The four colored bars
represent different household income tiers. As can
be seen, household income significantly influences
emissions for the consumption of material goods
and air travel as basic needs are met and more
discretionary income is available. When it comes to
food, people and households consume about the
same quantity and composition of food regardless of
income level.

CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
Strategies and Actions:
The two primary strategies for reducing these emissions at a community scale are to reduce waste generation,
and to modify food purchases.
Strategy LC-1: Reduce Material Consumption, Waste Generation,
and Resource Depletion
Edmonds has adopted Zero Waste as a long-term goal. Municipal solid waste is reflection of
consumption of materials goods. The City of Edmonds estimated that the community -wide waste
disposal rate in 2005' was 2.0 tons per customer. Municipal solid waste from Edmonds is deposited
at the Roosevelt Regional Landfill in south-central Washington, where methane from the landfill is
recovered for energy production. However, handling and transport of waste does generate GHGs locally.
In addition, reducing waste locally helps reduce pollution from manufacturing and transport globally, and
contributes to reducing the community's imported GHG emissions.
Solid -waste management uses a hierarchy of approaches:
• Reduce the amount of waste created through the efficient use of resources, more durable products,
less packaging, and less overall purchasing.
• Reuse products and packaging as much as possible.
• Recycle discarded products and packaging, and turn organic materials into compost or feedstock for
energy production.
• Restrict the types of materials that can be used (plastic bags, Styrofoam, etc.).

8.1.c
Strategy LC-2: Modify Food Purchases
People need to eat, and dietary needs and preferences vary widely, so it is unwise to make
generalizations about what foods people eat, or should eat. In addition, the vast majority of food
consumed in Edmonds comes from outside of Edmonds, grown in a wide variety of environments
and using wide array of methods. However, there are two important ways in which changes in food
consumption can reduce the GHGs from food that most households can apply:
• Reduce the over -purchasing in small (one- or two -person) households, to reduce waste.
• Reduce consumption of snacks, ready-made food and drinks, and other foods with high caloric
content and low nutritional values that are not recommended for a healthy diet. (These foods
produce little nutritional benefit while generating a significant portion of the total emissions from
food production, packaging, and delivery.)
Producing food at home and buying locally grown food are ways to incorporate these changes into our
food consumption. An additional positive impact of supporting local food producers in a diversified local
economy.
Actions:
LC-2: Modify Food Purchases
LC-2.1 Educate people in smaller households on ways to reduce

consuming less pre -packaged food.

CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
Accounting for progress in reducing GHG emissions
at a community scale can be a challenging and
laborious process. It is important to know how well
we are doing, but the time and effort involved in
getting a complete picture might be better spent on
some of the strategies identified above. However,
progress can be estimated by looking at a few key
metrics. The best metrics are those for which data
are readily available, where results can reasonably be
predicted from the data, and where the outcome is
expected to result in a noticeable change within the
timeframe being studied.
As part of this CAP Update, our consultants prepared
a tracking tool that focuses on a key metric for each
of 10 strategies. Table 1 lists the strategies along
with the metrics used as indicators for each. This will
allow the City to estimate progress in reducing local
emissions on an annual basis, without having to do
a complete new inventory. While these metrics do
not address every aspect of the community's GHG
emissions, tracking them will allow the community
to see real progress being made, or not, on the
strategies identified in this plan for reducing GHG
emissions.
The tracking tool includes a number of assumptions
built off existing information about GHG emissions,
population and employment growth, commuting
patterns, and other factors. The approach taken is
conservative, to ensure that GHG emission reductions
are not overestimated. For example, it accounts for
gradual improvement in the fuel efficiency of cars
mandated by federal regulations. The fact that many
manufacturers are moving rapidly toward electric
vehicles is not factored in.
Tracking
Progress
Using this tracking tool, the consultant worked with
City staff to estimate how aggressively each strategy
might be applied, using 2035 and 2050 as planning
horizons. These two horizon years were selected
because 2050 is the date by which the City's science -
based target mandates the full mitigation of GHG
emissions (net -zero emissions), and 2035 was an
approximate midpoint. The tracking tool provides
an estimate of how much GHG emissions would be
affected if all of the strategies are on track by each of
the planning horizon years.
The graph in Figure 14 depicts the path that
Edmonds emissions reductions will take between
now and 2050, assuming success in all strategies
being tracked, compared to the overall net -zero
target set by this plan. As shown in Figure 14 there is
still a reduction gap of 95,070 MT CO2e for 2050.
A reduction gap means that further measures will be
needed. In particular, fossil -fuel based gas (natural
gas) must either be replaced with carbon -neutral
gas, or eliminated from use, and refrigerants must
be either switched to carbon -neutral refrigerants
or all leaks must be eliminated. These two changes
would substantially reduce the gap, but require
technological changes that have yet to become
economical. Even with these changes, there will
likely be the need for some carbon sequestration,
as discussed in Section 7, Environment. Carbon
sequestration is also evolving. Technological
advances for some industries and the use of natural
systems, such as "blue carbon" sequestration through
restoration of marine environments, offer hope for
economically viable solutions in the near future.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 02/28/2023
On -Call Stormwater Review Services on Private Development Projects
Staff Lead: Rob English
Department: Engineering
Preparer: Emiko Rodarte
Background/History
On January 10, 2023, this item was presented to the Parks & Public Works Committee for review and
discussion. The Committee requested staff to discuss possible funding options with the Finance Director
before presenting it to the City Council for possible action.
Staff Recommendation
Approve On -Call Stormwater Review consultant services and authorize staff to advertise a request for
qualifications.
Narrative
The Stormwater Engineer over the past few years has focused the majority of their time on private
development reviews and emerging issues associated with drainage, water quality, and increased
regulatory requirements to keep the City compliant with the NPDES permit. This means that they have
not had the ability to begin work on the City's Storm & Surface Water Comprehensive Plan update.
The Stormwater Engineer needs to focus at least 50 percent of their time on updating the City's
Storm & Surface Water Comprehensive Plan (last updated 2010). This document provides the
policies, programs, capital projects, and maintenance practices to reduce flooding, improve
water quality, improve stream habitat, and meet certain regulatory requirements. This plan also
is a companion document to the City's overall Comprehensive Plan, that is currently being
updated for completion at the end of 2024. These plans should be done in unison.
The remainder of their time would be spent as follows:
o About 25 to 50 percent of the Stormwater Engineer's time needs to be set aside for
emerging issues associated with drainage, water quality, and regulatory concerns and
requirements that always arise. In addition, the Stormwater Engineer works with the
Public Works Operation & Maintenance crews on operational and maintenance issues of
the storm system, as needed.
o This would only leave 0 to 25 percent of the Stormwater Engineer's time to spend on
stormwater development review.
Based on the current level of time that the Stormwater Engineer is spending on reviews, there is still a
backlog of around 20 submittals. This means that the Stormwater Engineer cannot begin work on the
Stormwater Comprehensive Plan Update. Therefore, the services of a consultant will be needed so that
Packet Pg. 222
9.1
the Stormwater Engineer can focus on the Stormwater Comprehensive Plan Update and allow the
stormwater reviews to continue.
Once the Storm and Surface Water Comprehensive Plan is completed and approved by City Council, the
Stormwater Engineer's time will be freed up to do more private development reviews and the on -call
consultant assistance will be significantly diminished or eliminated.
Public Works staff met with the Finance Director after the January Committee meeting to review
possible funding sources. One source that was mentioned during the committee discussion was ARPA
funds. However, the distribution of ARPA funds approved by the City Council during the 2023 budget
process did not allocate ARPA funding for this type of expenditure. Directors Antillon and Turley agreed
the appropriate revenue source for the on -call stormwater consultant cost is the General Fund since the
services are for stormwater review of private development work. The permit revenue, which is received
in the General Fund, would help off -set the cost for these services. In addition, the City's Stormwater
Engineer would significantly reduce the amount of staff time billed to the General Fund since the
position would manage the Stormwater Comprehensive Plan update and bill time to the Stormwater
Utility Fund.
If the City Council approves the request, then Staff will hire a consultant to provide on -call Stormwater
Drainage Review Services, as a short-term solution until the formal request for qualifications (RFQ)
process is completed and a two-year term on -call contract is executed. A first quarter budget
amendment for these services will be submitted to Finance during the budget amendment process. A
preliminary budget estimate for 2023 is $125,000. The actual amount will depend on how much private
development and permit activity occurs in 2023.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT OLSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS,
TO PASS THE BUDGET ORDINANCE.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION CARRIED (5-1), COUNCILMEMBERS K. JOHNSON, CHEN,
TIBBOTT, AND BUCKSHNIS AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT OLSON VOTING YES;
COUNCILMEMBER PAINE VOTING NO.
3. SALARY COMMISSION REINSTATEMENT
Council President Olson said philosophically, she liked the idea of a volunteer commission setting the
council's salary instead of the council. She was not in favor of disbanding the salary commission and
recalled it came on very suddenly and was not fully vetted. As mentioned earlier, the council did not hear
from salary commission members as stakeholders in that decision. The council did themselves a
disservice by not doing the work that those who were in favor of disbanding cited as the reason. To the
extent that something else needs to be looked at or pursued, it could have happen concurrently. She
summarized it was either not a good idea or it was premature to have disbanded the salary commission
and she would like to consider reinstating it and have it move forward as it has in the past.
COUNCILMEMBER K. JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT OLSON,
TO REINSTITUTE THE SALARY COMMISSION.
Councilmember K. Johnson explained the legislature authorizes two ways a city can increase salaries for
the city council, 1) the sitting council can make adjustments as long as they do not impact the currently
seated councilmembers, or 2) put together a salary commission. Edmonds has utilized a salary
commission for many years and it was abruptly disbanded with the idea it could be done better. However,
no action was taken by the council that decided to disband the salary commission. The abrupt decision did
not serve the City or councilmembers well and for those reasons she would like to see it reestablished.
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled there was a salary commission in 2010 and it was disbanded in 2014
due to a lawsuit and then reestablished. She did not know what happened last year, and was still confused
even after reading the minutes. She believed having a salary commission was a good method; they did a
great job the last time and the complaint was from council president who said they were too busy to get
data, but she felt the data was very well done and statistically they did a great job. She saw no reason not
to reinstate them because she still did not know why it was disbanded last year. She was sorry there
wasn't an effort to reach out to the volunteers about disbanding the commission.
Councilmember Paine said she would like to look at this again if we have to. The minutes from last year
state it would be important to have a four year review cycle. She also wanted to ensure the salary
commission in which ever form was used, included an equity analysis for how councilmembers are paid.
The RCW outlines how salaries are established either via an outside salary commission or by council and
instituted following the next election of a councilmember. She suggest the draft ordinance come to the
PSPP committee for review. The recommendation in the agenda memo is a bit convoluted, "Consider re-
establishing salary commission via repealing repeal ordinance that repealed city code chapter 10.80
regarding the salary commission." She said if chapter 10.80 has been repealed, it needs to be rebuilt. She
suggested when this comes back, that the commission be asked to look at equity as part of their analysis.
Last year's discussion included whether the best councilmembers could be retained and recruited with the
existing salaries.
Councilmember Tibbott expressed support for the motion. Reviewing salaries and keeping them up-to-
date with other salaries paid in the city is a good government practice, realizing that elected officials have
different pay scales than city employees or private enterprise. The salaries are compared to other cities
and a specialized commission to do that work is desirable. Another thing that happens during the salary
commission every 2 years is a review of council activities. There was some attempt to understand how
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

Packet Pg. 226
9.3.a
time is spent, what activities are prioritized and to compensate councilmember for the work they put in.
He anticipated in some cases that review may identify activities that no longer need to be prioritized or
new responsibilities may be added. The salary commission is a very positive way for the city council to
be compensated as well as guided by a citizen group.
Councilmember Chen said he was not on the city council when the salary commission was disbanded so
he had no opinion regarding that. In general, the council's compensation should be determined by an
independent body so he supported having a salary commission. Whether the original members should
reinstated, he suggested the entire council discuss that, noting some of members might not be interested in
returning.
Councilmember Paine asked City Attorney Jeff Taraday if the salary commission considered
compensation per the RCW or was it also a forum for the salary commission to look at job duties. Mr.
Taraday answered it was compensation only. It was not intended that the salary commissions tell elected
officials how to do their jobs.
To the point about staffing the salary commission if it is reinstated, Council President Olson suggested
there would be value to having at least one person who was on the prior salary commission involved if
any of them were still willing and able. She pointed out chapter 10.80 as written was in accordance with
state law. Another councilmember mentioned an earlier version of the salary commission was disbanded
because it was not in accordance with state law. She recommended staying true to the RCW and
following chapter 10.80 as it previous existed. To the extent councilmembers wanted to pursue something
different regarding equity, that have may been the reason for disbanding it. That is totally different work
that happens outside the salary commission and other issues should not be conflated or integrated into the
other.
Councilmember K. Johnson said her intent in making the motion was to look at the will of the council and
once that will is established, the council can look at the details because the ordinance may need to be
changed. She asked Mr. Taraday to begin that process, noting the timing of the reinstatement as it relates
to electeds' terms may need to be considered. She recalled the salary commission convened in off years
so it did not conflict with election cycles. It may end up being a four year cycle this time and then return
to a two year cycle. Her intent was to reinstate the salary commission and work on the details at a later
time.
Mr. Taraday asked for clarification, whether he was being asked to draft an ordinance, and if so, was it a
recommendation to council regarding how he thinks it should be or to bring back exactly what chapter
10.80 used to say.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED TO AMEND TO REPEAL ORDINANCE 4223 AND
REPLACE IT WITH THE REINSTATEMENT OF CHAPTER 10.80.
Councilmember Buckshnis agreed with getting on course first and then deciding how the commission
should operate.
Mr. Taraday offered to bring back an ordinance that readopts what chapter 10.80 used to say. He had
never heard of repealing a repeal.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS WITHDREW THE MOTION.
Councilmember Chen raised a point of clarification. Councilmember K. Johnson clarified her motion was
to reinstate the salary commission and work out the details at a later time.
