Quality
Representation
SCPDA's mission is to provide the highest quality of representation for people facing
loss of liberty pursuant to civil and criminal laws and who cannot afford to hire an
attorney. Our mission can only be fulfilled by putting racial equity at the center of
every aspect of our work. Racial equity uplifts everyone while paying close attention
to those often disadvantaged, excluded, and more harshly punished.
SCPDA's mission is guided by Indigent
Defense Standards adopted by the
Washington State Bar Association (WSBA).
Other resources that guide quality public
defense include the Performance Guidelines
for Criminal Defense Performance,
Washington statutes, case law, court rules,
WSBA Rules of Professional Conduct, and
American Bar Association publications.
SCPDA produces monthly reports for the
City of Edmonds Public Defender
Assessor, Bob Boruchowitz.
Mr. Boruchowitz conducts an independent
assessment of SCPDA services based on
the monthly reports and regular meetings
with SCPDA attorneys, his own court
observations, interviews with Judge

frr
We are a private non-profit
law office. Our Qoal is to
provide the highest quality
legal representation to our
clients facing loss of liberty
under criminal Or civil law,
1e welcome you.
Rivera, as well as regularly listening to audio recordings of court hearings. Mr.
Boruchowitz also meets with Kathleen Kyle and the Edmonds Municipal Court
attorney supervisor monthly and then separately, also meets with the attorneys
working in Edmonds Municipal Court.

Looking Forward
Upcoming Public Defender Issues
A consortium of national organizations, including the Amercian Bar Association, the
National Center for Courts, the Rand Corporation, etc., will issue a report with new
national public defender workload standards. It is anticipated that the recommended
resources for public defender caseloads will increase. SCPDA will keep the city
advised of any developments.
Gideon's 60th Anniversary
In 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court decided the case of Gideon v. Wainwright,
guaranteeing the right to an appointed attorney in state criminal cases. In a petition
written in pencil, Gideon appealed his Florida state conviction to the U.S. Supreme
Court asking for an attorney. Mr. Gideon was forced to represent himself when he
was convicted. Washington's Attorney General, John J. O'Connell, signed a "friend -
of -the -court" brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Gideon "to insure that
every indigent person accused of any felony in a state court guaranteed right to
counsel." The brief went on to state that "counsel is indispensable to the idea of
justice under law." The Supreme Court, in a 9-0 decision, agreed. Mr. Gideon
received a new trial with a defense attorney. He was found "not guilty" in just over an
hour.

Meeting Date: 03/21/2023
2021-2022 Transportation Benefit District Reports
Staff Lead: Oscar Anti Ilon
Department: Public Works & Utilities
Preparer: Royce Napolitino
Background/History
Pursuant to Ordinance 3707, and codified in Chapter 3.65 of the Edmonds Municipal Code, the City of
Edmonds City Council established a transportation benefit district to be known as the Edmonds
Transportation Benefit District in November, 2009, with geographical boundaries comprised of the
corporate limits of the City of Edmonds at the time the ordinance was adopted or as they may exist after
any future annexations.
The 2015 State Legislature adopted Second Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 2ESBB 5987 authorizing the
assumption of control over a TBD by a city with the same boundaries as the TBD, which became
effective in July, 2015. Pursuant of Ordinance 4053, as codified in Chapter 3.65 of the Edmonds
Municipal Code, the City of Edmonds City Council assumed the rights powers, functions, and obligations
of the Transportation Benefit District Board in December, 2016, one of which is to produce and deliver
an annual report regarding the operations of the District.
November, 2019 - Initiative 976 passed by a state wide margin of 53% to 47%, but was rejected by
Edmonds voters 56% to 44%. 1-976 could have rolled back car tab fee increases in excess of $30 among
other impacts to funding . An immediate injunction allowed for the continuation of collection of
licensing fees. Ultimately, the initiative was ruled unconstitutional by Washington State Supreme Court.
Staff Recommendation
Approve as part of Council's Consent Agenda. Forward for required annual publication.
Narrative
The City of Edmonds must publish the results of its Transportation Benefit District (TBD) operations. The
City receives local license fees on vehicles within the jurisdictional limits of the City of Edmonds. These
collected funds are expended for street maintenance, preservation, and operation of the street
transportation system within the City's boundaries. TBD-funded activities included localized pavement
repairs, pothole repairs, signage management, maintenance of pavement markings (buttons, curb paint,
etc.), crosswalk maintenance, and traffic signal maintenance and repair. Eligible costs are outlined in
Ordinance 4053.
In 2021, the TBD received $717,707 in revenue from local license fees. These collected funds were
expended for street maintenance, preservation, and operation of the street transportation system
within the City's boundaries, as outlined in Ordinance 4053. The City expended $534,005 from the State
Packet Pg. 85
7.5
Gas Tax and General Fund resources, with the remaining $183,702 retained in the City's Street Fund for
expenditure in the same activities in 2022.
In 2022, the TBD received $693,591 in revenue from local license fees. These collected funds were
expended for street maintenance, preservation, and operation of the street transportation system
within the City's boundaries, as outlined in Ordinance 4053. The City expended $693,591 from the State
Gas Tax and General Fund resources.
March 14, 2023 - Parks and Public Works Committee approved these reports for inclusion in the
Council's Consent Agenda.
The publishing of this report fulfills the requirement within RCW 36.73.160(2), in which, the district shall
issue an annual report, indicating the status of transportation improvement costs, transportation
improvement expenditures, revenues, and construction schedules, to the public and to newspapers of
record in the district.

Councilmember Nand expressed appreciation for the hours that tree board members spend every month
doing deep dives into the code on things the council does not have time to do.
Councilmember Chen echoed the appreciation for the tree board's dedication and volunteering to beautify
the City. He recalled how popular the tree giveaway event was at the Farmers Market. He relayed a
concern expressed by citizens about debris falling onto their property, roofs, and gutters from a
neighbor's 100-foot tall trees during storms. He asked if that would be within scope of tree board. Chair
Cass answered there is an arborist on the tree board, but maintenance of trees on private property is a
private responsibility. She recalled Councilmember Chen's appointee, Board Member Lyon, mentioned
Councilmember Chen's concern and she will put it on the board's April agenda. Maintaining trees can be
burdensome and expensive; possibly there are funds available to help homeowners maintain their trees
because it is better to maintain trees than lose them. Councilmember Chen relayed he planned to visit the
property owner this weekend to see what can be done.
Councilmember Paine commented she loved her time on the tree board. She asked about the tree board's
plans for the coming year. Chair Cass answered Earth Day, continuing to helping with the code and
establishing recognition for special or unique tree species. Sometimes heritage tree programs can be a
burden to property owners but there are some remarkable trees in Edmonds that the tree board would like
to acknowledge. Education such as regarding critical areas is also on the board's work plan, and assisting
with the robust public outreach. Councilmember Paine asked if the tree board was looking at changes to
tree selection based on climate change and climate resiliency, noting some cedars are better for warmer
weather such as Incense Cedar. Chair Cass answered there are some board members who are
knowledgeable about trees species. She recalled receiving a public complaint about a magnolia tree that
was dropping debris on the sidewalk and creating a hazard. The board is considering how to advise on
issues such as that. Councilmember Paine agreed tree responsibility and sidewalks is always an issue
whether it is related to leaves or roofs.
Councilmember Teitzel thanked the tree board for their great work. He referred to tree planting in Yost
Park for Earth Day, relaying his understanding the park used to be populated with cedar, fir and spruce
but they were largely cut for the mills hundreds of years ago and the park is now largely populated with °
alder which are more short lived. He asked if the trees that are being planted are more durable species that c
will last longer. Chair Cass answered the parks department is very cognizant about succession planting; a
over 100 trees have been planted at Yost Park, but there is capacity for thousands more. That is a park
Q
department specialist issue, not necessarily the tree board. She was certain if board members did not agree
with the species being planted, they would be very verbal about it, but board members seemed pleased
with the species that were chosen.

LU
In response to Councilmember Chen's suggestion, Councilmember Nand suggested collaborating with
public works and parks regarding responsible tree ownership in 2024, to educate about property owners
about who is responsible for a tree planted on public or private property that hangs over another property.

Mayor Nelson described procedures for audience comments.
Jessie Owen, Edmonds, diversity commission member, thanked the council and mayor for their
commitment to accessibility in Edmonds. She recognized the City's deliberate attempts to continue
accessibility including updating parks. There are a lot of people with different ability levels who visit the
City's parks, not only children, but also parents who want to be able to access public facilities. There are
more projects that need to be undertaken in government buildings, public and private businesses, and
parks. She thanked the City for what has been done so far and indicated she will probably meet with
council and the mayor to encourage them to make the City accessible for all.

9. COUNCIL BUSINESS
ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE FOR MINOR DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT
PROCESS IN ECDC 20.80 (AMD2022-0005)
Councilmember Nand proposed the following amendment to Section 20.80.015.0 which she emailed to
councilmembers, Mr. Taraday, Ms. McLaughlin and Mr. Clugston prior to the meeting, to create an
intermediary step between the Planning and Development Directors discretion about what is considered a
minor code amendment before presenting it to council, "Review process. The Planning and Development
Director periodically prepares a package of amendments for review and present them first to the relevant
City board, commission or committee which provides citizen input to the City Council on that section of
the code. If the relevant board, commission or committee agrees that the recommended code amendments
are "minor" and approves of the format and substance of the director's recommended update by a
maiority vote of its body, then the director may present these proposed amendments to the City Council
on their consent agenda. At its discretion, the Council may:
1. Approve the entire package; or
2. Remove one or more of the proposed amendments from consent for additional discussion about the
suitability of an amendment for the minor process or remove an amendment from the minor process roster
altogether for processing as a major amendment as described in ECDC 20.80.020 and then approve the
remainder of the package."
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMEMBER NAND AND SECONDED TO ADD THE
ABOVE LANGUAGE TO 20.80.015.C.
Councilmember Nand explained the reason she was proposing this amendment is to retain citizen input o
and guarantee the relevant board or commission agrees that the changes are considered minor and also 0
agrees with the formatting and language changes to the code. As the tree board liaison, when this process c
has been brought to the tree board, occasionally board members will disagree that something is a
characterized as a minor code amendment and want to provide feedback on the formatting and language Q
changes to improve readability. She wanted to preserve the opportunity for citizen and layperson input ,
into these code amendments before they come to council because the relevant board, commission or
committee has more time to delve into the code changes and have discussion with the relevant staff o
person before it comes to council, especially on the consent agenda. w
c
Councilmember Teitzel expressed his support for the amendment. He referred to the agenda memo which E
states the proposed process would involve creating a list of minor code amendments on a quarterly basis
to be presented to council on their consent agenda. However, page 8 of the February 7, 2023 meeting
minutes state, "Councilmember Paine observed minor code amendments will come to council twice per a
year. Mr. Clugston answered that that is the intent." Councilmember Teitzel asked if the intent was to
have minor code amendments come to council once per quarter or twice per year. Planning and
Development Director McLaughlin answered subsequent to the February 7, 2023 hearing, there was
council interest expressed in making the minor code amendment processes more frequent which was
totally fine with staff. If there is no content on a quarterly basis, that would be reported to council.
Councilmember Teitzel liked the idea of having minor code amendments provided to council quarterly.
He referred to the code language which states periodically and asked if it needed to state quarterly. Ms.
McLaughlin said she would defer to the comfort of council. Staff is committed to providing them

8.2.a
quarterly; quarterly it is actually easier for both council and staff to manage as it avoids presenting a long
list of minor amendments. That was acceptable to Councilmember Teitzel.
Councilmember Paine relayed her understanding that the planning board considered this and discussed
what would be considered minor and not minor. The planning board agreed amendments would be minor
as long as no policy study was needed. With Councilmember Nand's amendment, she asked how much of
a burden it would be to provide minor amendments that do not require any policy study to the tree board,
planning board or other board. Ms. McLaughlin shared the definition of a minor code change:
• No policy implication
• Restructuring code sections
• Simple reformatting
• Address redundancies, inconsistencies
• Remove outdated reference
• Addition or subtraction of elements that:
o Do not change the meaning of the current code;
o Do not result in changes to the code intent;
o Do not increase requirements and/or fees.
Ms. McLaughlin explained the purpose of proposing a minor code amendment is to expedite the code
modernization work to make it more legible, more accurate, more user-friendly and represent best
practice. The planning board supported taking minor code amendments directly to council. If staff had to
present minor code amendments to boards and commissions, it would negate doing a minor code
amendment process as it would just be the normal process and would take the same amount of staff time.
The whole point of expediting minor code amendments is to allow staff to work on major code
amendments that the council is equally if not more interested in. Councilmember Paine expressed her
preference for staff to bring minor code amendments to council in logical batches however many times a
year it makes sense.
Councilmember Olson said she always likes the idea of consulting with residents and volunteers, —
however, minor code amendments are intended to promote clarity, eliminate redundancy or correct
inconsistencies, and minor zoning amendments to correct grammatical labeling or similar errors on the c
official zoning map. The minor code amendment process provides an option for councilmembers to pull n
an amendment from the consent agenda and have it go through the process. When minor code Q
amendments are proposed, as councilmembers are reading through the packet and have concern about an
amendment, they can reach out to a board member and if the board member affirms the concern, the c
councilmember could pull it from the consent agenda and not treat it as a minor amendment. She was o
comfortable with this approach as proposed due to the nature of amendments that would be handled this w
way. She did not support the motion. c
d
E
Councilmember Chen expressed appreciation for the discussion and the information and clarity provided
by Ms. McLaughlin. He also appreciated Councilmember Nand's intent to get more public input from a
boards and citizens. As explained, the minor code amendment process is well written and well thought out
and intended to expedite minor changes. He expressed support for the intent of getting more input and
engagement from the public, but in this case he will vote no on the motion because the amendments are
minor in nature and the intent is to expedite the process.
Councilmember Nand, the tree board liaison, provided an example of what is considered a minor
amendment in this process but tree board members did not consider a minor code amendment: changing
the classifications of a tree based on the width of the trunk and the amount of the permit fee from a
paragraph format to a table format. That sparked an involved discussion whether it would be readable to
the public and whether it clearly conveyed the policy in the code which is literally the tree board's job.
That is the type of discussions that board members are deeply involved in and they have the knowledge,
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

8.2.a
time and energy during their monthly meetings to engage in those discussions. She questioned removing
board members who are deeply involved in the code from providing feedback before amendments come
to council on the consent agenda. She assured she was not implying staff would not exercise good
judgment about formatting changes that would improve the code. Including the step that her amendment
provides would give council confidence it had already been vetted by the relevant board, commission or
committee before it comes to council on the consent agenda. The function of boards, commissions,
committees is to provide citizen input; she wanted to preserve their role in the process and did not think it
would be overly burdensome to staff if 4-6 times a year they presented minor code amendments to boards,
commissions and committees for concurrence that they are minor code amendments.
Ms. McLaughlin suggested Councilmember Nand not use specific references as no minor code
amendment packages have been proposed yet. She was unaware of the reference Councilmember Nand
provided and it was not part of the minor code amendment package. It may have been vetted with the tree
board but there is no proposal yet. Councilmember Nand said she wasn't using that as a substantive
proposal, she was using it an example having seen this process play out in her role as liaison on the tree
board.

VOTING YES; COUNCILMEMBERS CHEN, OLSON, AND PAINE AND COUNCIL
PRESIDENT TIBBOTT VOTING NO.
COUNCILMEMBER PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO
ADOPT AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, AMENDING
CHAPTER 20.80 OF THE EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE, ENTITLED
"TEXT AND MAP CHANGES," TO ADD A NEW STREAMLINED PROCESS FOR ADOPTING
MINOR AMENDMENTS TO THE ECDC.
Councilmember Teitzel relayed his understanding that the proposal is for scrivener's errors such as typos, a
misspellings, etc. that will go directly to Code Publishing for correction. It was his understanding those
corrections had been done by ordinance in the past. He asked why it was done that way in the past, c
whether there was a legal requirement to correct scrivener's errors by ordinance. City Attorney Jeff 0
Taraday answered he was not sure it was an accurate statement to say scrivener's errors have always been c
brought to council through a legislative process in the past. He would need to research all the times a a
scrivener's error was corrected to determine that, noting he likely would not even be aware of all the Q
times a scrivener's error was corrected; for example, someone notices a typo or misspelling and corrects
it.
0
M
Mr. Taraday explained a scrivener's error is basically the same thing as a clerical error. When one looks w
up scrivener's error in Black's Law Dictionary, it refers to the definition of clerical error which is defined
as, "an error resulting from a minor mistake or inadvertence and not from judicial reasoning or E
determination, especially a drafter or typist's technical error that can be rectified without serious doubt
about the correct reading." Mr. Taraday assumed this definition contemplated a courthouse setting where
a court reporting creating a record of people's testimony, the court reporting might mistype a word when Q
transcribing the testimony. The record is done and the trial is over, but upon review of the record someone
realizes the court reporter mistyped a word; it can be corrected without reopening the trial, putting the
witness back on the stand, etc. That can be analogized to the legislative process; if someone mistypes a
word in an ordinance and it is realized after the fact, the ordinance does not need to be brought back to
council to deliberate and vote on again to correct the mistyped word.
From an efficiency standpoint, Mr. Taraday said his understanding of a scrivener's error would be
something less than a minor code amendment, something that does not even rise to the level of a minor
code amendment and can just be corrected because there is no doubt as the definition states, "can be
rectified without serious doubt about the correct reading." If there's doubt, it becomes a minor code

8.2.a
amendment and it comes to council. Councilmember Teitzel responded that made sense and he had no
problem with correcting scrivener's errors in that manner as long as there is no legal reason that prevents
handling them in that manner. Mr. Taraday said he was not aware of anything that prevents correcting
scrivener's errors administratively and without further legislative process. He would be surprised if there
was law to the contrary.
Councilmember Teitzel referred to Chapter 20.80.015.B.2 which states, "this process is used for minor
zoning map amendments to correct grammatical labeling or similar errors on the official zoning map." He
relayed a concern that grammatical errors could qualify as scrivener's errors so there seems to be a lack of
clarity regarding the difference between scrivener's errors and minor code amendments. He was
concerned some things may be processed as scrivener's errors but would qualify as minor code
amendments. He asked if there was a judgment call that the council should be aware of. Ms. McLaughlin
responded in understanding the definition of a clerical error in more detail, the minor code amendment
definition is conservative with regard to the items that would be handled via that process and what staff
intends to correct as scrivener's or clerical errors. The council is likely seeing much more than they need
to by the letter of law under the definition of clerical error.
Since this is a new process and potentially will apply to the entire code and not just the ECDC,
Councilmember Teitzel requested council see a package of scrivener's errors once a quarter under
Received for Filing so council has a sense of what is going through that process; no formal action would
be taken, it would be informational only. He asked if that would be reasonable. Ms. McLaughlin was
uncertain what that would look like and how it would be tracked. It sounds more laborious than it needs
to be, but it is at the discretion of council to request that.
Councilmember Teitzel commented he did not mean to add to staff s workload, but felt it would be
important because the volume could be high, especially initially, as the code rewrite progresses.
COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NAND, TO
REQUEST STAFF SUBMIT A PACKAGE ONCE PER QUARTER OF SCRIVENER'S ERRORS
SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO CODE PUBLISHING FOR THE COUNCIL'S INFORMATION.
City Clerk Scott Passey commented it is a very routine process to correct scrivener's errors with Code °
Publishing. Typically 2-3 ordinances are sent to Code Publishing at a time; often there are a number of Q
questions from Code Publishing related to references that are repealed or outdated and lots of scrivener's --
errors are rectified in real time via email that he passes onto staff. Correcting minor scrivener's errors is N
an ongoing task, corrections that are not substantive and that do not have policy implications. o
M
O
Councilmember Teitzel referred to 20.80.015.13.2 which states, "minor zoning map amendments to w
correct grammatical, labeling, or similar errors..." Those could be very minor in nature and could easily d
qualify as scrivener's errors so he felt it important that council watch that process for a while and could z
discontinue it in the future.
a
Councilmember Nand spoke in favor of the request. It was her understanding Councilmember Teitzel was
not making a motion but directly requesting that from staff. There are a lot of active citizens in Edmonds
who pay attention to changes in the code so having more publication regarding changes as they are being
made would be better. If staff was comfortable with that request, she felt it would be helpful.
Council President Tibbott asked if there was a review function that shows where corrections of that nature
were made and would it be a simple thing to produce. Ms. McLaughlin answered she would need to look
into the process to determine if it would be expeditious. If there isn't a way to do a query like that, it will
be a laborious thing to track. Mr. Taraday relayed his concern that there are several points in the process
where a scrivener's error could be corrected. Some are corrected via the clerk's office; anyone reviewing
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 7, 2023

Packet Pg. 101
8.2.a
an ordinance could see a mistyped word and decide it needs to be corrected. He was concerned about the
procedural steps that would be required to bring all those to council, anticipating there would almost need
to be a central clearing house that does not currently exist to log all those scrivener's errors. He was
concerned with over promising and under delivering because with this request, he could see even with the
best intentions, someone could correct a misspelled word but not inform the clearing house that they did
so and it doesn't get reported to council. He summarized there was no structure in place that he was
confident in representing to council that every time a misspelled word is corrected, it would be reported to
council.
Council President Tibbott relayed he struggled with supporting the amendment and adding this
requirement to an ordinance. He could foresee someone reading a document and the context clearly
illustrates the word should be "trail" instead of "trial," and correcting that in the moment. He did not
support the amendment, noting perhaps examples would be helpful, but it did not need to be included in
the ordinance. Mayor Nelson joked perhaps the clearing house could be a task force made up of spelling
bee champions.

1. DIVERSITY COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT AND NAME CHANGE
Community Services/Economic Development Director Todd Tatum explained tonight the diversity
commission will report on last year's work, the work ahead and a recommended name change. This work 3
a
is transformative to those who engage in it. The Latin roots for the word compassion mean to suffer with.
When a city turns its efforts to uncovering people's challenges in equity, inclusion or accessibility, the c
staff engaged in that work are faced with the struggles of others and compassion is a common outcome.
He has seen this compassion turn people from being project and process focused to being focused on c
improving outcomes and people's well-being which are central to the role in government. This is n
important work and it benefits everyone. He and the diversity commission members are grateful to talk Q
with council tonight.

kindness through our events, partnerships, and policies. We connect hundreds of citizens with
our film series. We promote inclusion through our toolkits and resources.
o For 2023 our priorities are:
1. Engage with city council and community partners
2. Communicate through new and renewed channels
3. Educate ourselves and the community through meetings and events
Name Change
o The commission unanimously agreed to propose an amendment to city ordinance to transition
our name to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Commission.
o This name better reflects the needs of our community and the evolving understanding that
diversity alone is not enough. To achieve equitable outcomes for all, we must strive to make
city policies, programs, and events inclusive and accessible. DEIA is consistent with standard
language for related government programs and helps city residents find us online
Diversity Commission Member Jessie Owen explained the City has made genuine and authentic
commitments to diversity and the council has taken action toward that in a few specific ways in decision °
making, prioritizing projects and diversifying recruitment for boards and commissions. Being diverse c
isn't enough anymore; the City needs to be more equitable and have a more equitable outcome for a
everyone. Broadening the commission's scope to include equity, inclusion and accessibility can better Q
prioritize and focus on systems that make the City more equitable. A truly inclusive group or city is M
diverse; but a diverse group isn't necessarily equitable or inclusive or accessible to every member of the
community. It is time to switch the language to show the City is progressive. Edmonds was one of the M
first to have a diversity commission and the commission wants to continue being pioneers and an example w
to the state and country. Part of that is switching the language. The federal government has switched their
language to DEI and Edmonds wants to continue pushing for accessibility as well so everyone has access.
E

Chair Helm explained the commission discussed options for a name that might be shorter or rearranging
the letters in the acronym to spell IDEA for example, but there is a federal program for accessibility and Q
education that uses the IDEA acronym. The intent was an acronym that was universally understandable
and connected to the work the commission is doing related to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility
that will not be confused with anything else. Although the commission name is a bit of a mouthful, DEIA
shortens it somewhat and people will get used to it.

Staff Recommendation
o Approve changes to ECC Chapter 10.65 to include the terms Inclusivity, Equity, and
Accessibility in the Commission's name and purpose as proposed in tonight's packet
COUNCILMEMBER OLSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL, TO
APPROVE CHANGES TO ECC CHANGING THE COMMISSION'S NAME FROM DIVERSITY
COMMISSION TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND ACCESSIBILITY COMMISSION
AND INCLUDING THESE EXPANDED TOPICS IN THEIR POWERS AND DUTIES.
Councilmember Olson expressed appreciation for the conversation held at the committee, commenting it
won her over. She agreed with the statement about DEI and DEIA being searchable terms which is N
critical. She had been concerned about the length of the commission name, commenting she finds other c
lengthy names to be a stumbling obstacle. She hoped the commission would use the acronym which is w
well known and everyone knows what it refers to. She thanked the commission for their patience in
explaining the rationale for the lengthy name.
E
z
Councilmember Paine commented the work the commission has done reflects the change, growth and
movement to get beyond diversity to include equity and inclusion and none of that is possible without a
accessibility. The name is changing in the federal government and nonprofits including the nonprofit
board she is on that serves people with disabilities and helps them find employment. There can be
diversity, equity and inclusion, but without accessibility, there is still a structural barrier. She appreciated
the thoughtfulness of the commission of addressing the structural and institutional barriers that have
existed in the past and bringing the community together. She loved the idea of bringing back the World
Caf6 and was glad to see "Crip Camp" was part of the diversity film series.
Councilmember Nand recalled the PSPHSP Committee had a robust discussion regarding the name
change. As someone with an ADA listed disability, it was exciting to have accessibility added to the
commission. People have erroneously directed concerns about accessibility to the City's disability board,
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 7, 2023

Packet Pg. 105
8.2.a
which is related to benefits and claims for LEOFF 1 retirees, and has nothing to do with the broader
conversation about disabilities so the name change to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility is
especially important. Since DEI and accessibility is so important to the younger generation who are
experiencing trauma related to the George Floyd murder, CHOP in Seattle, and other things society has
not experienced since the 1960s, she suggested the commission include a young person on the
commission.
Councilmember Olson raised a point of order, suggesting Councilmember Nand's comments were not
germane to the motion. Mayor Nelson ruled point taken.
Councilmember Nand summarized the name change is wonderful. With the addition of accessibility to the
name, she was aware that people with mobility issues keep a list of places in the City that are difficult to
access and she suggested the commission consider those in late 2023 or 2024. Commissioner Owen said
the commission is planning to consider the equity of accessibility. For example Highway 99 is not quite
as accessible as some other areas of the City.
Councilmember Chen commented as the former council liaison to the diversity commission, he witnessed
how hard they work and how passionate they are. He has met with Commissioner Owen on occasion and
appreciated her perseverance, acknowledging it may seem like it takes a long time to get things
accomplished. He recalled in early 2021 there were accessibility issues identified at Yost Park; it took six
months for the accessibility to the portable restroom to be addressed, but it did get done. He has seen a
tremendous amount of progress since he got involved with City government. He gave credit to not just the
diversity commission but the entire City for working together. He acknowledged there is a lot of ground
to cover and a lot of things to overcome. He expressed support for the name change.
Councilmember Teitzel expressed support for the change and appreciated the thought given to it and the
passion the commission brings to the issue. The name change brings a more holistic view of diversity by
including accessibility. As the commission liaison, he looked forward to working with the commission
this year.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Olson pointed out the possibility of partnerships in south Snohomish County. There are
many things that can be celebrated and putting on events requires a lot of effort. Rather than each city Q
putting on events, she suggested south County cities work together to support and advertise each other's
events so efforts are not duplicated. She had heard that the City may not be doing the best job of making M
religious people feel welcome. That is not mentioned in the mission statement and she wanted to remind w
the commission that religious residents need to feel a welcoming environment in Edmonds. She
recognized the commission's efforts related to Juneteenth and bridging Juneteenth and the 4t1' of July. E
What she loved about Juneteenth was the recognition that not everyone was free when the country begin z
celebrating the 4't' of July, something poignant to keep in mind in bridging those two holidays with a
diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility focus and bring those two holidays together and make them a
meaningful as a continuum and bridge and the healing that goes with that.
Chair Helm agreed Edmonds DEIA Commission does not have to do all the events themselves. There is a
tendency and lots of ideas to do everything, but there are wonderful partnerships to be had with
individuals in the community such as Alicia Crank who put on the Juneteenth to 4' of July bridging event
in partnership with the Herald last year. There are other organizations and cities the commission can
partner with. She was excited about the commission's focus this year, leaning into those relationships and
communication to amplify and extend the work being done so everyone in the community is aware and
can participate fully.

3. PROPOSAL TO CHANGE TO BIENNIAL BUDGET
Administrative Services Director Dave Turley said he was asked to talk about moving toward a biennial
budget. This was discussed last year and the year prior, but at that time the council did not move forward
with a biennial budget so this is a reintroduction to the topic. There is no decision or recommendation
tonight. There will be an opportunity at the budget retreat at the end of April to discuss it more
thoroughly. He reviewed:
• Noteworthy discussion points:
o Biennial budgets have to begin in an odd year. The next time a biennial budget could be done
is 2025-2026.
o The city will be replacing its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system during the next 2-3
years. We will be selecting the new ERP system within a few months. A decision needs to be
made about whether the new ERP should be configured for an annual budget or a biennial
budget before the selection is made.
■ ERP system is the entire financial accounting system. Every financial transaction goes N
through the ERP. Eden is the City's current system and is going away in a few years. N
■ New ERP system must be configured for the City and for an annual or biennial budget. s
- For example, Lynnwood which utilizes Munis (a Tyler Technologies product), theircc
L
system was configured for an annual budget rather than a biennial budget and will be 2
very difficult to reconfigure m
o Biennial budgeting is not just budgeting, it is also financial reporting
o Operating under a biennial budget instead of an annual budget frees up hundreds of hours in
every odd -numbered year - e.g., 2025, 2027, 2029, etc. a
o A biennial budget schedule allows more time during the first 18 months of the biennium to
monitor and evaluate the city's financial performance and condition. The consensus among
finance people and council members who are currently on a biennial budget is that it allows L
more time and opportunity for Council to provide financial review.
o A biennial budget schedule would allow time in the odd years to undertake major changes,
like implementing "Budgeting by Priorities" for example.
o The term for an appointed councilmember ends when the election is certified - this year it °
will be November 28. This causes a conflict by seating a new councilmember during budget c
deliberations and has the potential to happen in any odd year. This occurred on our own a
Council in both 2021 and 2023. Under a biennial budget the new budget is passed in even
years, so this conflict would never happen. Q
o A biennial budget would have no negative impact on planning and budgeting for large capital
projects (e.g., Civic Field, Highway 99 Revitalization) as these already involve multiple M
years, and a biennial budget would actually be more practical when planning for multi -year w
projects.
o For context, many of our neighbors are already on biennial budgets, including Lynnwood,
Bothell, Mountlake Terrace, Shoreline, Marysville, Kirkland, Kenmore, Mill Creek, z
Arlington, Snohomish, and Stanwood, and is considered a "Best Practice" among government
professionals. Among large local governments, King County has been on a biennial budget Q
for a decade.
o Snohomish County on February 22 approved the change to a biennial budget. Council Chair
Jared Mead called it a "positive step towards more responsible budgeting and forecasting."
Council member Nate Nehring said it will also "reduce the politics involved in the budget
process," since it will occur outside of election years. Nehring and fellow Council member
Megan Dunn proposed the ordinance together. Both said the change would improve overall
efficiency. (from a February 24 article in The Everett Herald by Kayla J. Dunn)
o There will be ample time during the April retreat to have an in-depth conversation about a
biennial budget. This presentation tonight is intended to be a brief introduction of the topic
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 7, 2023
Page 14
Packet Pg. 107
8.2.a
for council members who may not have been on Council during previous discussions, or for
members of the public not familiar with the topic.
o See additional information and sample budget preparation schedules in your packet.
Council President Tibbott commented this has given him a lot of food for thought. He hoped the council
would not delve into a lot of questions tonight as there will be an expert on municipal budgeting at the
April retreat and that will be a great time to ask questions and get further clarity regarding
implementation. He appreciated the benefits of biennial budgeted that Mr. Turley summarized.
Councilmember Teitzel looked forward to learning more about biennial budgeting in April. He recalled
Mr. Turley explaining it is very difficult to change the ERP from an annual to biennial budgeting cycle
which means a decision should have been made regarding a biennial budget when a decision was made on
the ERP. He asked why that did not happen. Mr. Turley explained the City is in the process of selecting
an ERP system. Brian Tuley will be the project manager for the first 6-8 months; he sent an email today
asking about the requirements which include whether the City plans to use an biennial or annual budget.
He and Mr. Tuley will be meeting tomorrow to discuss the requirements for the new system. A decision
needs to be made by council before a new ERP is selected.
Councilmember Nand thanked Mr. Turley for sharing the horror story from Lynnwood. She asked
whether the City was locked into having Tyler Technologies as the ERP provider and if they were
dominant in this software niche. Mr. Turley answered the City's current ERP, Eden, is owned by Tyler
and Munis is a natural progression from Eden because they are both owned by Tyler and technically the
integration and implementation of the new system should be easier because Tyler is already on site once a
month and know the City's operations well. Some research has been done into new systems; Munis
receives very mixed reviews. People like the system, it's very suitable for cities Edmonds' size, but
people are frequently not happy with the support they receive because Tyler is a big company and are
very remote. That information will be taken into account when a decision is made. For the most part, once
Munis implemented, people are pretty happy with the product.

8.2.a
• Green Streets - $75,000
Council President Tibbott said this question applied to all the amendments. He asked if this carryforward
was more than what was approved in the previous budget. Mr. Turley answered to his knowledge, there
was only one, vehicles that were approved last year, supply chain issues prevented their purchase and the
price increased. That is divided into a separate decision package so it is easy to see.
Council President Tibbott recalled some green streets projects have been proposed and the council
decided not to include them in the budget. He asked for clarification of this amendment. Mayor Nelson
asked if this project was previously approved by the Council. Mr. Turley explained green streets was
approved as one of the categories of ARPA spending via Ordinance 4259.
Council President Tibbott relayed his understanding this was design/background work for green streets. If
no projects were currently funded, he asked whether the information would be relevant in 5 years.
Planning & Development Director Susan McLaughlin explained in 2023 the council decided to postpone
the green street 10% design on 236'. The City was already under contract with a consultant to prepare
10% design documents as well as create a green street prioritization network. After that council decision,
the scope was changed to create a green streets manual for Edmonds to define what a green street is,
address the scale of green stormwater infrastructure and anticipated cost, and incorporate the map of
potential investment for green stormwater infrastructure that would yield the most benefit. Previous
feedback from council included what is a green street, why are they so expensive, why were 236t' and
Dayton selected, etc. This would put together a package to take a comprehension look at green streets for
the City and would be relevant in 5 years.
• Consultant review of building permit projects - $76,000
• 41 Avenue Cultural Planning Project - $34,000 �
• Rooftop Solar Grant Program (grants to individuals) - $150,000

In light of recent discussions about the police department's difficulty acquiring electric vehicles (EV) and d
purchasing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles instead, Councilmember Nand asked if funds in z
this amendment could be used to purchase ICE vehicles or would they only be used to purchase EV.
Public Works Director Oscar Antillon answered the City will be purchasing regular vehicles for the police a
department due to the inability to purchase hybrid vehicles. For every planned purchase, the goal is first
electric hybrid and then regular vehicles. Currently the plan is to purchase regular vehicle for the police
fleet. Councilmember Nand observed the purchase of regular vehicles does not impact this budget item.
Mr. Antillon advised the cost of even those vehicles have changed.
• Painting projects around City campus - $235,000
• Repairs at Edmonds Library - $60,000
• Public art project at Civic Field - $24,500
• Beautification Program greenhouse-$43,000
• Equipment at cemetery - $25,000

• Increased purchase price for 2023 versus 2022 model year vehicle. Purchases were approved by
council, but the price was unknown at the time.
• OpenGov budget reporting software
• Civic Center Playfield construction - $3M
• Pavement overlay program - $126,000
• Highway 99 revitalization - $2.8M
• Traffic signal safety and upgrades - $11,000

• Phase 12 Waterline Replacement Project - $300,000
• Seaview Infiltration Phase 2 - $367,000
• Storm Maintenance Project Phase 2 - $116,000
• Phase 9 Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project - $650,000
Mr. Turley said these carryover amendments happen every year as projects often cannot be completed in
one year.
Councilmember Teitzel referred to the carryover related to traffic signal safety and upgrades which is
upgrading the vehicle detection system at SR-104 and 100' Avenue West. He asked whether the signal
upgrade will integrate with the proposed new bike lanes and make bicyclist safer. Mr. Antillon answered
the intersection design is based on the concept that the council approved in 2021. It includes a bike lane in
the northbound direction and a shared lane southbound crossing SR-104. Councilmember Teitzel asked if
the $11,000 to change the signaling would have any effect on the safety of bicyclists passing through that
intersection. Mr. Antillon offered to research that and get back to Councilmember Teitzel.
COUNCILMEMBER PAINE MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL, TO
ACCEPT FIRST QUARTER CARRYFORWARD BUDGET AMENDMENTS AS PROPOSED.
Councilmember Chen said he had general question about the timing of fund balances; the beginning fund o
balance is different in different presentations and sources. He understood the carryforward impacts the n
beginning fund balance. For example, in the adopted budget fund balance on page 26, the beginning fund Q
balance is $149,543,961. In the information presented on February 21, the beginning fund balance is
N
$155,096,570. In the package presented today (packet page 267), the beginning fund balance is c
$155,021,955. He asked why different sources have different beginning fund balances. Mr. Turley w
answered this was discussed at the finance committee on February 14 and brought to council 1-2 weeks
later. As he was putting information together, he realized there were errors in the way building
maintenance decision packages were presented, the BARS coding was incorrect, so he pulled it from the z
agenda to make the corrections. That accounts for the difference between the February 14 packet and
today's packet. The other one Councilmember Chen referenced is the strategic forecast which was Q
prepared in August 2022 and has no bearing on this agenda item; it is a completely different document
and purpose and was purely an estimate that was prepared approximately eight months ago. The number
shared tonight is the most recent based on the final budget adopted in December, several months after the
strategic outlook was prepared.
Councilmember Chen relayed his understanding the 2023 budget was prepared mid -year 2022. However,
in the packets presented to council on February 7 versus March 14, a number of funds have changed
dramatically. For example, for the General Fund, the proposed amendment at the beginning was $884,560
and in today's packet it is $1,600,945, a difference of $725,385. He advised he had a list of funds that
were different. He asked if that was part of the error that was discovered. Mr. Turley answered yes,
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
March 7, 2023

Packet Pg. 110
8.2.a
historically the City has budgeted for building maintenance in two places, the General Fund and in Fund
016. In the original carryover decision package, in trying to put building maintenance projects into Fund
016, some of the decision packages did not include the transfer from the General Fund into Fund 016. He
was trying to make it as clear and transparent as possible to be more consistent with the way it has been
done in the past so a large portion, probably the difference Councilmember Chen cited, was budgeted in
building maintenance projects out of the General Fund rather than Fund 016. He offered to review them
individually if Councilmember Chen came to his office. He reiterated the goal was to be more accurate;
the original ones did not include a transfer from the General Fund. Councilmember Chen said he would
appreciate that opportunity because the proposed expenditure in Fund 016 changes by $1.4M and he
would like to understand why it changed.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION CARRIED (5-1), COUNCILMEMBERS TEITZEL, OLSON,
PAINE, AND NAND AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT TIBBOTT VOTING YES;
COUNCILMEMBER CHEN VOTING NO.
2. CITY ATTORNEY ASSESSMENT COMPARATOR CITIES
Councilmember Paine commented this a product of the committee. The next step in the process is asking
questions of neighboring cities and comparable cities. The proposal is to use nine cities as comparators;
they were selected to provide a full range of municipality characteristics, some are recommendations from
MSRC and some are comparator cities from the HR evaluation process that are similar size, population
and land value. The comparison also includes city classification, code city or first class city, and date of
incorporation. The date of incorporation is important as the starting point for adoption of municipal codes;
Edmonds was incorporated in 1890, more recently incorporated cities adopted the originating county
code. Another difference is Shoreline and Burien contract with King County Sheriff and do not have their
own police department which directly impacts the scope of the city attorney's work.
Councilmember Paine expressed support for the changes to the questions proposed by Councilmember a
Olson. Each subcommittee member will contract three cities and pose questions to the mayor or city
manager and the finance director and put the answers in a matrix. All the information collected will be o
available to council. The information will help make comparisons and gain understanding about the
cities' city attorney. She reviewed the changes to the question proposed by Councilmember Olson: o
• Questions directed to mayors/city managers n
o How long have you used the current eentfaeted city attorney? Q
• Questions directed to finance directors N
o If you utilised use additional contracted attorneys, please provide total expenses for 2021 and M
2022 by category (e.g., labor, w
Councilmember Paine explained contracted attorneys are used for legal services related to utilities, d
telecommunications, bonds and HR. E
z
Council President Tibbott affirmed the selection of cities, commenting they are cities used as HR Q
comparators and seem to fit Edmonds' demographic. He had several small wordsmithing suggestions that
he preferred to provide via email and allow the committee to determine whether they were appropriate.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT TIBBOTT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL,
TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE COMPARATOR CITIES AND QUESTIONS AS
SUGGESTED.
Councilmember Olson asked whether the council needed to vote on the wordsmithing changes or could
the subcommittee make the changes if they were not material changes. City Attorney Jeff Taraday
responded it was up to the city council to determine how much latitude to give the subcommittee. By
virtue of the nature of the way the work that will be done, three different people reaching out to three
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

different cities, there will inevitably be variations in the conversations that occur among councilmembers
asking the questions and staff answering the questions, so it is unlikely identical questions will be asked
or that identical conversations will occur and follow up questions will occur organically as those
conversations occur. To the extent that wordsmithing happens at the front end, that should not be a
problem. His only concern was with a rolling quorum; he did not want a quorum of councilmembers
discussing the substance of questions outside a council meeting.
For Councilmember Olson, Council President Tibbott advised the wordsmithing changes were not
substantive. Councilmember Olson was supportive.
Councilmember Nand asked that during the discussion councilmembers not refer to the group as a
subcommittee because that is creating confusion for the public who think they should have access to the
committee's meetings. The group is actually just a task force comprised of three councilmembers who
provide recommendations at council meetings.
Councilmember Teitzel pointed out the council approved the work plan in January which included
contacting other cities for comparator information in March. It is important to learn about other cities'
city attorney services, whether they are contracting, have in-house city attorneys, city manager/council or
mayor/city council form of government, etc. That information will be collected and provided to council
which will help council consider pros and cons of continuing to contract or move to an in-house attorney.
That decision is scheduled to be made in April.
Councilmember Olson recalled when the group was formed it was called a subcommittee. With regard to
the public's confusion, she appreciated what Councilmember Nand was saying and had heard that herself.
A committee is three or few members of council; the confusion may be because council committees,
which are compliant with OPMA, are available to the public and other councilmembers are allowed to
attend. If council committees were attended by three or fewer councilmembers, they would not have to be
open public meetings. She summarized for better or worse, the council originally formed the group as a
subcommittee.
Councilmember Paine referred to the work plan, pointing out the group was constituted as the city c
attorney assessment subcommittee. A decision date is tentatively scheduled for April 4 and she was a
hopeful that date could be achieved. The subcommittee is meeting this Friday to develop a matrix for C
Q
responses to the questions. She looked forward to receiving Council President Tibbott's email with his
proposed wordsmithing changes. N

Councilmember Nand thanked Councilmember Olson for the clarification. She joined what she thought w
was the city attorney assessment task force in 2023. Due to multiple complaints from the public, she
clarified the subcommittee is not required to comply with OPMA because three or fewer councilmembers
attend the meetings and no other councilmembers attend ex-officio.

10. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Nelson reminded tomorrow is International Women's Day. He read from their website,
International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political
achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Significant
activities witness worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women's achievements or rally for
women's equity.

Councilmember Olson commented there has been a lot of discussion regarding housing bills at the state
level. She has not weighed in, but has a comment to make that she will provide to media and possibly
read next week. She reminded of the legislature's public hearing on Thursday at 9 a.m. regarding the bill
on detached accessory dwelling units. She reminds anyone interested in speaking needs to be in the queue
an hour before the start of the hearing to have a chance to speak.
Council President Tibbott commented the DEIA committee report brought to mind an experience last
night that helped him realize how important inclusion is. While preparing dinner, his 20-something
daughter who is a vegetarian called and asked what's for dinner. He told her and she asked whether it
contained meat and he told her not yet. His daughter asked that he leave out the meat so the family could
enjoy it together. He accommodated her request, added more vegetables, and all took part in dinner
together. His daughter thanked him for being inclusive. It occurred to him sometimes being inclusive
costs absolutely nothing, just a switch in your brain to consider other people. He was thankful his 20-
something daughter brought it to his attention soon enough and he learned a lesson in being inclusive. He
looked forward to learning more about diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.
Councilmember Nand, an Indian American and practicing Hindu, announced approximately a billion
people will be celebrating Holi tomorrow. The holiday has penetrated western culture during her lifetime,
a lot of people call it the Festival of Colors and celebrate by throwing colored powder at each other. She
explained it is a very fun festival in India and other places around the world with a large Indian
population. The origin was a very evil woman who may have been a demon, wore a magic sari that was
supposed to protect her from being burned. She took her nephew with her into a pyre and thought the sari
would protect her and her nephew would burn. Instead the immunity to fire associated with the sari was
revoked and she burned and her nephew survived. The villagers were so grateful that they threw her ashes
around. The holiday is named after her, Holika. Councilmember Nand said when she was growing up,
celebrants threw baby powder at each other because they did not have the powdered paint, gulal. To see it
becoming mainstreamed in American culture has been interesting because her culture tends to be more
private. She thanked society for embracing their holidays.
In recognition of International Women's Day, Councilmember Teitzel, a proud graduate of Washington c
State University, announced last Saturday the women's basketball team beat ULA for the PAC 12 a
championship, their first championship in school history. The women's basketball team did a great job
and everyone is very proud of them. Q
M
N
Councilmember Paine wished everyone a Happy Holi, advising she observed the day of celebration in a
country with a significant Indian population, Guyana. It was very fun to see people wearing white and w
throwing colored powder. The council's action tonight to change the name and charter of the diversity
commission to include equity, inclusion and accessibility is an important and embracing move for the
commission as well as for the City. She encouraged the public to watch the movie, "Crip Camp" which is
available on Netflix, noting she was surprised by how much she cried during the movie. The toughest Ma
scene was people who normally use wheelchairs had to haul themselves on their elbows and bottoms up Q
the U.S. Supreme Court steps because they did not have access. The word "access" is used often; it is
more than a word, it is the physical and structural barriers.

1. CALL TO ORDER
The Edmonds City Council virtual online PSPHSP Committee meeting was called to order virtually and
in the City Council Conference Room, 212 — 5th Avenue North, Edmonds, at 3:30 p.m. by
Councilmember Olson.
2. COMMITTEE BUSINESS
1. Committee Updates
• Update on Waterfall Property Code Enforcement (Planning/Development)
Ms. McLaughlin explained it is not really a waterfall but a grade differential with a culvert. Aerial
photographs shows the culvert has been there since the house was there so it is not an enforcement
issue with the current property owner. There are other locations on that property along the channelized
stream where sandbags have been placed and a tree may being undermined. The code enforcement
officer, a senior planner and a stormwater engineer met with the property owner to talk about the stream
and advised them it is ultimately a Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) issue as it is a
state water and they will need a hydrologic project approval (HPA) permit from WDFW. The property
owner will also need a local permit due to the critical area.
Ms. McLaughlin commented a stream restoration study to look comprehensively at Shell Creek would
help identify barriers to fish passage, options for mitigation and potential resources such as grants,
capital projects, etc. to remove fish barriers along the entire stretch.
Questions and discussion followed regarding inability to pursue code enforcement as the blockage
existed prior to the house and prior to the critical area designation, WDFW jurisdiction as the culvert is
in a state water, other issues the property owner will need permits for such as the slope failure and tree
removal, how long it would take the property owner to get a response from the state and erosion that
would occur in the meantime, looking at the entire stream holistically and taking action as a City instead
of via enforcement, staff's inquiry with WDFW, whether an HPA was issued for the culvert, WDFW's
permitting authority but does take enforcement action, whether the culvert was grandfathered, how to
address the fish barrier, and the engineering department's indication that the problem will not be solved
unless other fish passage obstructions in the creek are removed.
Questions and discussion continued regarding whether council action was needed to prioritize a stream
restoration study, Planning & Development not having the capacity to do a study in 2023, determining
which department would oversee a study, the need for a budget allocation for a study, length of time
this has been an issue, desire to make this a priority, having this as a topic at the council budget retreat,
considering this in the comprehensive stormwater plan, Parks' responsibility for stormwater/fish barriers
Packet Pg. 115
8.3.a
03/14/23 PSPHSP Committee Minutes, Page 2
only within parks, and taking a broader view of all the obstructions, and identifying mitigation, roles and
responsibilities, and funding in order to develop an implementation schedule.
• Update on Abandoned House Code Enforcement and Related Legal Action
(Planning/Development)
Councilmember Olson commented when code enforcement was unsuccessful, legal action was taken.
Ms. McLaughlin reported Mr. Taraday filed a motion with Snohomish County in 2022 for a warrant of
abatement which gave the property owner two weeks to address the code enforcement concerns which
included securing the front balcony, deck and rear stairs, trimming vegetation within 5 feet of the
property line, allowing access to the structure to secure it, removing accumulated trash, and paying
$1300 in civil penalties. The abatement orders were not completed in two weeks, so the City abated
the violations per the abatement order. In February via the small works roster, vegetation was removed,
the house is being boarded up and the rest of the work is being completed. Once the code enforcement
issues are abated, the City will place a lien on the property to recoup the abatement costs, fines and
cost of Planning & Development staff time.
Questions and discussion followed regarding the status of the property owner that prevents compliance
with the abatement order (property owned by an estate that is going through probate) and trees on the
property that are a concern to the neighbors (not included in the abatement order and were not part of
the code enforcement issue).
• Public Use Zoning Code Text Revision (Artworks) (Planning/Development)
Mr. Taraday explained it came to the city attorney's attention during review of the lease renewal that
uses occurring in the building were not permitted in the P Zone. The city attorney's office felt it was not
appropriate to approve the lease renewal knowing the uses were not authorized in the zone. If the
tenant remains in the building, there could be an amendment to the text of the P Zone to make the use
an allowed use; his office drafted language to accomplish that. Depending on the urgency, there are
two ways to make zoning text amendments, 1) via an interim zoning ordinance, or 2) going to the
planning board, public hearing, etc. and recommendation to the city council. He noted the old public
works building is not the only building the City owns where there are inconsistencies between the
tenants in the space and uses allowed in zone so similar text amendments likely need to occur for other
City building leases.
Mr. Antillon added due to unknowns related to the design of the WWTP to comply with nutrient removal
requirements, staff does not want to sign a long term lease for the facility in the event that property is
needed to expand the WWTP.
Ms. McLaughlin pointed out the comprehensive plan is an opportunity to inventory all City public
buildings and consider current and future needs. The cultural plan will also be updated as part of the
comprehensive plan update.
Questions and discussion followed regarding whether it would be possible to implement an exemption
process for a tenant that does not comply with the zoning, the draft language developed by the city
attorney's office that covers almost any tenant using the space, Edmonds code does not allow use
variances, city attorney's preference to adopt text broad enough to address any tenant the City would
lease property to rather than adopting a use variance, allowing use variances as a way to fill empty
storefronts in the City, drafting zoning text that would allow a City building to be used short term, drafting
the lease with an out for the City, selling unneeded government assets, and startups interested in sublet
opportunities.
• Update on Human Services Program (Human Services)
Ms. Burley reported on cleanup of debris left by an encampment in the SR-104/Highway 99 cloverleaf
and assistance the social worker provided to a couple living in a tent in that location. Staff also worked
Packet Pg. 116
8.3.a
03/14/23 PSPHSP Committee Minutes, Page 3
with WSDOT to clean up a former encampment on WSDOT property behind the Campbell Nelson
dealership. That intersection has been assigned the WSP Department of Correction's work crew list for
more frequent cleanup as necessary. The best first step when encountering an encampment is to
contact the police department's non -emergency line (425-771-0200) so an officer and social worker can
be dispatched to visit a site. The social worker has transitioned to work primarily with the police
department which was the goal. The City accepted a proposal from the Hand Up Project to assist with
on -call and on -demand needs related to cleanup which was later rescinded. The City is entertaining
proposals from other service providers including Volunteers of America.
Questions and discussion followed regarding ways to put unhoused persons in contact with the social
worker to avoid a possible trauma response from contact with law enforcement, need for the police
department to determine a site is safe before the social worker is dispatched, and referrals to the social
worker by the neighborhood office on Highway 99.
N
N
Ms. Burley reported the Snohomish County Hotel on Highway 99 as well as the hotel in Everett have
been renamed, New Start Centers. She and Assistant Chief Sniffen have been appointed as liaisons to
Snohomish County. The earliest the facility will open is Q3 2023 but is more likely to open next year
due to permitting, construction and remodeling. Snohomish County has done a considerable amount of
outreach to local businesses and residents that live near the facility.
N
W
c
Questions and discussion followed regarding drug activity and contamination in the building, local
businesses' concern that drug activity will occur on their property, Lynnwood's consideration of an public
a
drugging law, the stated goal for project (overall reduction in police call volume by bringing people
indoors), a suggestion for Snohomish County to hold a town hall to answer questions from public,
E
Snohomish County's outreach to people who are directly impacted, information on Snohomish County's
U
Office of Recovery and Resiliency website, the hotel as a political football, requesting information from
Snohomish County about services that will be offered, and the City assisting with multilingual outreach.

Ms. Burley reported the City's application for a Verdant grant to support human services was
—
unsuccessful. Staff plans to apply during the next grant opportunity as the City's human services
program aligns well with Verdant's goals and objectives.
0
In response to the community's interest in ways to support and be involved in the City's human services
a
Q
program, Ms. Burley advised the most needed resource is prepaid food and gas gift cards in small
M
denominations. Food is often beneficial in establish rapport and often leads to consent to transition in
their lives. The City did a prepaid card drive during the holidays. Both WinCo and Safeway have a
o
prepaid card option that exclude the purchase of tobacco and alcohol products. Food gift cards often
a.
go to seniors, not just individuals who are unhoused and human services often works with code
a
enforcement.
cn
Questions and discussion followed regarding establishing a human services gift account for larger
donations and providing an EIN for tax purposes, the vulnerable housed population that experiences
food insecurity, ARPA household support grants, ARPA funds secured from Snohomish County to
supplement Edmonds' programs, and the significant number of household support grants applications
from elderly people living in the bowl.
Ms. Burley thanked the cold weather shelter at Maple Park Church which was able to house 40
people/night and was open more nights this year than last year. There is a car camp at the Edmonds
Unitarian Universalist Congregation Church for up to 10 vehicles for women and women with children
only. It is located in Esperance and she was able connect the Snohomish County outreach team with
the operators of the camp to help connect people with social services. She reported the human services
division also continues to manage five motel vouchers, but that program ends in June.
Packet Pg. 117
8.3.a
03/14/23 PSPHSP Committee Minutes, Page 4
Questions and discussion followed regarding whether the council could fund motel vouchers directly;
ways for the community to assist such as graffiti patrols, returning shopping carts, etc.; assistance the
volunteer coordinator that was requested during the budget process could have provided; inability for
existing staff to oversee volunteers; challenges associated with volunteers such as liability, biohazards,
private property, etc.; possibility of partnering with an organization to coordinate and recruit volunteers;
setting up a volunteer hotline that could be run by volunteers; the difference between a neighborhood
doing a work party versus performing tasks at the City's request; contacting the Red Cross about
volunteers; considering a part-time volunteer coordinator in the 2024 budget, and the focus of the part-
time volunteer coordinator requested in 2023 budget on parks.
• Update on Data Analyst (Public Safety)
Councilmember Olson referred to the emailed update from Chief Bennett; the council budgeted for a
data analyst, the job description has been completed and the position has been advertised. The
rationale for the position is to gather and analyze data regarding the type of crimes,
increases/decreases, areas where crimes are occurring, etc.
Committee recommendation: Info only.

• OpenGov Update
Councilmember Chen recalled at the January 31 finance committee meeting, Ms. Menkveld was
optimistic OpenGov would be operational by April. Mr. Turley reported he had a meeting with
OpenGov a week ago and April is still the expected live date. Discussion followed regarding the
schedule for training councilmembers.
• 2021 SAO Audit Issues Management Response
Councilmember Chen relayed the audit report states the misstatement has been corrected. He asked
if that correction was reflected in the 2021 financial report and if the 2021 financial statements had
been restated.
Mr. Turley answered the financial statements have not been restated. The financial statements
published on the website are correct and did not need to be changed, they are correct as presented.
Following discussion, Mr. Turley clarified the City provides financial statements to the SAO for the
audit. During the audit, the SAO identified an incorrect journal entry which was changed and that is
reflected in the published financial statements. The financial statements as corrected are published at
the conclusion of the audit.
Questions and discussion followed regarding whether forecasts in the 2023 budget book are correct,
whether the forecasts needed to be updated, and ARPA funds not affecting forecasts.

Mr. Turley advised staff is seeking the finance committee's input regarding next steps. During the
audit of 2020 CARES grant funds, the SAO determined 33 businesses who received funds from the
City did not meet the eligibility criteria or did not provide adequate documentation. Of the 33
businesses, 4 have repaid the money they received or signed up for a payment plan, 15 staff
recommends not be pursued (the businesses suffered an obvious loss but may not have provided the
precise documentation), 2 businesses have closed and 12 have not responded to the City's
communication.
Committee members discussed how to proceed, noting the difficulty of pursuing LLCs via collections.
The committee agreed as follows:
• Do not pursue
0 4 business who had repaid or made payment arrangements
0 15 business who were able to demonstrate a loss but possibly not with the exact
documentation requested
o 4 closed businesses
• Send certified letter to the remaining 12 businesses who did not respond, requesting they
submit documentation and offering to work with them.
Committee recommendation: Certified letter requesting resubmit documentation. Report back at
future FC meeting.
4. Disposed Assets - 2022
Mr. Turley explained disposed assets are reported to the council at least annually; RCW requires the
city council be informed of assets that are disposed of and removed from the capital asset list. He
pointed out the City usually disposes of about 10 vehicles/year; this year there were only 2 because
due to supply chain issues the City was not able to purchase new vehicles and the old vehicles were
not disposed of.
Discussion followed regarding whether the council could be notified before the asset are deposed of
and disposal of the odor control improvement due to replacement with the new WWTP equipment.
Committee recommendation: On agenda under Received for Filing. Provide committee members the
RCW that requires council be notified.

• Bike Lanes SR104/ 100th Intersection Proiect Status
Mr. English explained the City received a Sound Transit grant for this project. The bike lane project was
combined with the Elm Way Walkway so it could be bid as one project for economy of scale. The Elm
Way Walkway is at 100% design and the bike lanes are at 95% design and the projects are anticipated
to be advertised in the next 1-2 weeks.
Questions and discussion followed regarding the bike lane alternative the council approved in
November 2021, the approved design that includes bike lanes northbound and sharrows southbound,
whether the design could be reopened because it did not considered the third ferry, challenges with
opening the design when the project is fully designed, options presented to council in March versus
options voted on in November, why an option for sharrows in both directions was not considered in
November, grant funds received for the bike lane project, determining the safest way for bicyclist to
travel through the intersection especially with left turns, likelihood the intersection will be updated in the
future, whether there a safety check is done when an intersection is designed, and use of a sharrow
southbound to maintain vehicle LOS.
• WWTP Update (PW)
Mr. Antillon reported negotiations on the additional cost to City are being finalizing. In the period
between the start of the project and now, $2.9M in hauling costs were incurred. Ecoremedy, who built
the gasification system, is on site checking system. Introducing biowaste into the system will begin in
early April and work is ongoing with the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency on the permit and with
Department of Ecology on a solid waste permit. Mr. Antillon responded to questions regarding whether
the project is on schedule and hauling of the biochar product.
• Highway 99 Enhancement Project Status (PW)
Mr. English reported all the medians with the exception of the limited access area are complete, most
of the irrigation has been installed, topsoil is being added and some plantings are in. Paving will occur
after April 1 and striping will be done temperatures are 50+ degrees. Most of the remaining work is on
the south end in the limited access area at the SR-104 interchange, much of which will be done at night.
Progress is being made with the landscaping despite challenges with getting plant materials. Delays in

obtaining the controller cabinet and signal lights have impacted installation of the HAWK signal. The
gateway signs are being fabricated and will be delivered and installed mid -April.
Discussion followed regarding citizens' interest in changing the name of the Gateway District, forming
a citizen advisory committee related to design of Stage 3 and 4 that could also discuss changing the
name, whether funds could be obtained from the infrastructure bill for an overpass, and availability of
federal grant for connecting communities.
• Yost Park / Shell Creek Update (Parks)
Ms. Feser explained a stretch of Shell Creek flows through Yost Park and there are several bridges. A
structural engineer assessed the bridges last year, one was closed and another, a main bridge
connecting two sides of the park, will likely be closed soon. There have also been discussions about
the impacts to the stream of the two weirs from the City's old water system. The 96t" Avenue Infiltration
project, mitigation for Civic Park, which intersects the 24" stormwater pipe that came directly into Yost
Park and drains approximately 1100 acres has been completed. That project has been very successful,
and since its completion, more than 80% of the water is no longer coming into the pipe but infiltrates
into the soil which will contribute to the health of Shell Creek. Staff participated in an onsite meeting on
February 14 with Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) that was organized by a
community member to discuss the weirs, impacts of moving the stream bed, and the bridges. WDFW
advised a permit process would be required to remove the weirs. Staff has not had the capacity to follow
up due to other priorities. She recommended looking at the stream in its entirety including the bridges,
trails, and the weirs.
Questions and discussion followed regarding funds in the budget to address Shell Creek erosion in Yost
Park, hiring consultants to assist with addressing technical aspects of Shell Creek, the community's
concern with closing bridges, inability to access the weirs with heavy equipment which will require
concrete removal be done by hand or with small equipment, direction from WDFW that the concrete
from the weirs cannot be used to reinforce an reduce erosion on the south bank and material used in
the stream must be natural such as logs, and the historic preservation commission's support for
retaining a portion of the weirs so visitors can see the original water system.
2. Civic Park - Walker Macy Contract Amendment No. 3
Ms. Feser explained Walker Macy is the landscape architect that has been involved with Civic Park
since the master plan and through construction. This contract amendment is not a request for additional
funds; only to increase the contract amount which, because it is over $100,000, requires city council
approval. The project is still within the original $13.7M budget plus the additional $450,000 in ARPA
funds and there is approximately $143,000 management reserve remaining. She reviewed:

3. Longbay Enterprises Contract Amendment No. 5
Ms. Feser explained Longbay Enterprises is used for real estate consulting on an hourly basis instead
of using a real estate brokers and paying a percentage of the purchase price. Land acquisition is one
of the mayor's priority as well as a recommendation in the PROS Plan. A number of properties have
been considered, either offered as a donation or acquisition by the property owner or via staff searches.
Longbay searches databases for available properties, negotiates with land owners, prepares
documents such as letter of intent, option to purchase, purchase and sale agreement, etc.; sets up
escrow; and helps with deed transfer, title insurance, title reports, etc. Some of the expenditures to date
have been appraisals.
Longbay notified her that the property southwest of SR-104 was for sale and convinced the property
owner to delay accepting an offer from a developer until a letter of intent could be drafted and signed.
Without using Longbay's services, the City would miss some opportunities such as that property. The
contract with Longbay, which began in January 2021, was a sole source procurement process due to
the specialized nature of the contract. Ms. Feser reviewed:

versus paying a percentage of property value, process for purchasing property, executive sessions held
related to land acquisition, council approval required for sole source procurement for contracts over
$100,000, inability of firms such as Forterra to provide services due to staffing issues, reasons for
informing council and the public regarding the potential acquisition of the property southwest of SR-104,
and a preference for property acquisition to come to council during executive session first.
Committee recommendation: Full council
4. Presentation of Amendment to the Department of Ecology Agreement - 2021-2023
Biennial Stormwater Capacity Grant
Mr. English recalled the initial $50,000 capacity grant agreement was presented to the PPW committee
in December and approved by council. The DOE grant can be used for various stormwater costs related
to operations or planning tied to the NPDES permit. When the initial grant was presented to PPW, staff
mentioned the availability of an additional $25,000 which is represented by this agreement for a total of
$75,000. Items identified for expenditure include planning related to the stormwater action management
plan as well as equipment and training for operations. A first quarter budget amendment will be
proposed to program the funds. Discussion followed regarding the grant being reimbursable.
Committee recommendation: Consent Agenda
5. City of Edmonds Stormwater Management Action Plan (SMAP) Update

MultiModal Level pf Service (MMLOS)
o Washington Code (WAC 365) allows cities to assess multimodal traffic impact fees (TIFs)
for new development to collect a proportional share of the cost of City investments in
multimodal transportation system improvements.
o Method of paying for infrastructure needed to accommodate growth and in order to meet
concurrency standards (vehicular, pedestrians bicycles, and transit)
Traffic Impact Fee Calculation (City of Edmonds)
o Current traffic impact fee
■ 2015 Transportation plan update
■ Intersection level of service standard (LOS D)
■ Fee calculation from cost of intersection concurrency projects
■ $5,530 per trip ($6,249 for single family home)
o Proposed traffic impact fee
■ Based on future 2024 transportation plan update
■ Fee can be calculated based on multimodal transportation projects (vehicles,
pedestrians, bicycles and transit)
Other WA agencies are exploring MMLOS
o Jurisdictions that have implemented MMLOS

■ Bellingham
■ Kirkland
■ SeaTac
■ Kenmore

MMLOS Approaches
o District approach
• City divided into individual districts
■ Impact fee calculated based on all projects within each district
■ Developer assigned specific TIF based on applicable land use category and district
where development located
o Citywide "impact fee per unit" cost approach
■ Similar approach to existing Traffic Impact fees in Edmonds/based on proposed land use
■ Specific trip rates will apply based on all different land use categories (same throughout

Questions and discussion followed regarding definition of multimodal, why a change to MMLOS is being
proposed, concern the council was not involved in the policy decision of changing to MMLOS, whether
the decision to change to MMLOS is made with approval of this contract, benefits of a MMLOS standard,
analyzing recent projects using MMLOS, where the concept of MMLOS originated, how much more the
transportation plan will cost with a change to a MMLOS standard, fiscal impact MMLOS will have on
developers and projects, whether other cities who implemented MMLOS have done public outreach,
cost of a MMLOS intersection compared to a typical intersection, policy decision versus administrative
decision, having safety be the driver for whatever is done related to bicycles, limited response to the
transportation plan RFQ, demand on planning consultants due to the requirement to update
comprehensive plan, reference to MMLOS in the RFQ, and information to provide at a council briefing
including describing how the 220th & 76 intersection would differ if it was based on a MMLOS.
Staff suggested a small contract with Transpo Group regarding differences between the two
approaches, the fiscal impact and educating the council.
Committee recommendation: Provide background and education to full Council.

Department: Engineering
Preparer: Emiko Rodarte
Background/History
On January 25, 2022 City Council approved The Blueline Group to be the consultant to provide design
services for the Phase 13 and 14 Waterline Replacement Projects and authorized the mayor to sign the
Professional Services Agreement for the projects that were scheduled to be designed as part of the

On March 14, 2023, staff presented this item to the Parks and Public Works Committee and it was
fowarded to the consent agenda for approval.
Staff Recommendation
Approve professional services agreement with The Blueline Group.
Narrative
The City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in October 2021 to hire a consultant to provide design
engineering services for the Phase 13 and 14 Waterline Replacement Projects. The City received
statements of qualifications from four (4) engineering firms and the selection committee selected
Blueline to provide design engineering services for these Waterline Replacement Projects.
On January 25, 2022 Council approved The Blueline Group (Blueline) to be the consultant to provide
design services for the Phase 13 and 14 Waterline Replacement Projects and authorized the Mayor to

Kirkland, Washington 98033
Attn: Robert Dahn, P.E.
Subject: GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
City of Edmonds —Phase 14 Waterline Replacement Project
Edmonds, Washington
Dear Mr. Dahn:
Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal for HWA GeoSciences Inc. (HWA) to
provide consulting services for the City of Edmonds -Phase 14 Waterline Replacement Project.
HWA understands that the project consists of providing professional services to the Public
Works Engineering and Operations Division in finalizing the Phase 14 project. This scope will
include drilling of three geotechnical borings to determine groundwater information, drilling up
to 5 pavement cores, and generation of a geotechnical data report. Below we present our
proposed scope and fee.
SCOPE OF WORK
HWA scope of work will be to perform geotechnical borings and pavement cores to provide
groundwater information and pavement thicknesses for pipeline installation. Geotechnical
explorations will be limited to one day of geotechnical borings, in which HWA expects to
complete 3 borings, and two days of pavement coring, in which HWA expects to complete 5
pavement cores. Logs of these geotechnical borings and pavement cores will be provided in a
geotechnical data report. Our services will consist of the following subtasks:
• Plan and Prepare Exploration Program for Borings and pavement cores within the
City right of way: HWA will plan and coordinate the field exploration program for this
project. A work plan to perform 3 geotechnical borings and 5 pavement cores along the
alignment will be prepared and submitted to the City for approval. Depth of boreholes
will be about 10-15 feet.
• Obtain City of Edmonds Street Use Permit: HWA will work with the City of Edmonds
to generate appropriate traffic control plans for the proposed drilling. Borings will be
performed within side parking area or road shoulders when possible. However, we
assume that subsurface utilities may require HWA to drill within the roadway travel
lanes. Pavement cores will be completed within the travel lanes. We anticipate that

HWA Project No. 2021-158-21
WSDOT standard traffic control plans, requiring lane closures with flaggers, will be
adequate for this project. We assume that all required street use permits will be provided
by the City at no cost to HWA. HWA will coordinate with a flagging subcontractor to
complete this phase of work where necessary.
• Complete Utility Locates: HWA will notify the one -call utility have underground utilities
located in the vicinity of the proposed borings and pavement cores.
• Conduct Geotechnical Borings: A truck -mounted drill rig equipped with hollow -stem
auger will be used to drill 3 borings along the alignment. Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
samples will be taken at 2-1/2 to 5-foot intervals throughout each boring. All borings
will be monitored and logged under full-time observation of an HWA representative.
The boring will be drilled by a licensed geotechnical driller under subcontract to HWA.
Each boring will be drilled through an 8-12-inch diameter hole through the pavement.
The pavement at each boring location will be repaired with fast setting non -shrink grout
such as Blue -Line Non -Shrink grout, or equivalent.
• Pavement Cores: HWA will conduct up to 5 pavement cores to assess pavement
thickness along the project alignments. Three pavement cores will be drilled along 85"
Place SW and 861h Street SW. One pavement core will be completed within 7th Avenue S
and one along cedar Street. All pavement cores will be drilled with a 6-inch diameter
core barrel and will be patched with fast setting non -shrink grout such as Blue -Line Non -
Shrink grout, or equivalent.
• Generate Boring and Core Logs: Samples retrieved from the borings will be sealed in
plastic bags and taken to our Bothell, Washington laboratory for further examination.
Soil and groundwater information will be presented in summary boring logs that will be
generated upon completion of our exploration program.
• Quality Assurance / Quality Control: HWA will have all exploration data presented in
the geotechnical data report reviewed by a principal prior to distribution to the design
team or the city.
• Draft and Final Geotechnical Data Report: We will prepare draft and final
geotechnical data reports presenting the results of our studies. Our reports will include
boring logs, pavement core logs, and a site and exploration plan.
• Project and Contract Management. We will prepare monthly invoices, and progress
reports if required. We will correspond with Blueline /City of Edmonds in the form of
emails, fax, and telephone calls, as necessary. We will provide project management
for the geotechnical engineering subtasks, and we will coordinate with and manage
all our subcontractors.

• All required exploration permits will be provided to HWA by the City of Edmonds at no cost
to HWA.
• HWA will apply for the necessary ROW use permits (including up to two (2) traffic control
plan revisions.
• HWA will contract with a subcontractor to perform the borings. The borings and pavement
cores will be conducted during workday hours (8AM to 5PM) with no work hour restrictions,
• No piezometers or groundwater monitoring wells will be installed as part of this

• The geotechnical explorations proposed herein will NOT be used to assess site environmental
conditions. However, visual, or olfactory observations regarding potential contamination
will be noted. Analysis, testing, storage, and handling of potentially contaminated soil and
ground water (either sampled or spoils from drilling) are beyond this scope of services. If
contaminated soils and/or ground water are encountered, the material will be properly
contained on -site for disposal as mutually agreed upon without additional cost to HWA.
• All non -contaminated drilling spoils and related debris will be drummed on site and
transported off site for disposal by the drilling subcontractor.
All geotechnical borings and pavement cores, with diameters less than 12-inches, drilled
through existing pavement, will be patched with fast setting non -shrink grout.
• Only geotechnical data from geotechnical exploration will be reported. No geotechnical
recommendations and analysis will be included.
PROJECT BUDGET
We estimate that the scope of services proposed herein will require a budget of $27,026 to
accomplish, as detailed on the attached project cost estimate spreadsheets. We will not exceed °
n
the above cost estimate without your prior authorization. However, if during the evaluation of the n
Q
available data or during our field exploration unanticipated subsurface conditions are revealed
which would require a level of effort beyond the scope of our study, we will contact you
immediately to discuss any necessary modifications to our scope of services and/or budget m
estimate. a
Cn
The budget presented in this proposal reflects an estimate based on our current understanding of a
the project requirements for a scope of work developed from information provided. HWA
c
reserves the right to transfer hours and budget dollars between tasks to satisfy project
requirements. Our budget also reflects estimated direct costs to the project for testing, drilling,
equipment rental etc. HWA may also transfer funds allocated for direct costs to
professional/technical hours or vice versa, to satisfy project requirements.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 03/21/2023
Approval of Amendment to the Department of Ecology Agreement - 2021-2023 Biennial Stormwater
Capacity Grant
Staff Lead: Rob English
Department: Engineering
Preparer: Emiko Rodarte
Background/History
On December 13, 2022, Council approved a $50,000 grant from the Department of Ecology (Ecology). At
that time, Council was informed that an amendment to this grant would be coming from Ecology. With
this Amendment, Ecology: 1) Adds $25,000 to the total grant amount (now $75,000) and 2) Extends the
end date of the grant from March 31, 2023 to June 30, 2023. This amendment applies to all Phase 2
communities covered under this Ecology stormwater permit.
This Stormwater Capacity Grant is funded by the state's 2021-2023 biennial budget. This non-
competitive grant program provides financial assistance to permittees to implement the stormwater
management programs required by Ecology's Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater
Permit (NPDES stormwater permit or the Permit). Ecology has been providing these Stormwater
Capacity grants to municipal permittees, including the City of Edmonds, on biennial basis since the late
2000s.
On March 14, 2023, staff presented this item to the Parks and Public Works Committee and it was
forwarded to the consent agenda for approval.
Staff Recommendation
Approve grant agreement amendment with the Department of Ecology.
Narrative
This grant provides an additional $25,000, on a reimbursable basis, to fund activities, selected by the
City, to comply with the Permit (including equipment purchases). Once the grant amendment is signed
by the Mayor, Ecology will have a total of $75,000 available to the City. The amendment also extends
the end date of the grant from March 31, 2023 to June 30, 2023.
Expenses for implementing Permit -related activities are eligible for reimbursement by this grant if they
are incurred between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2023. Due to Ecology staff shortages, the grant
agreement has been slow to get to the City for review and signing. Grant dollars are planned to be used
to partially fund the following Permit requirements:
• Stormwater Planning- Stormwater Action Management Planning (SMAP)
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Packet Pg. 169
8.7
• Operation & Maintenance of the stormwater system
The grant agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney and has been approved as to form.

Meeting Date: 03/21/2023
Civic Park - Walker Macy Contract Amendment No. 3
Staff Lead: Angie Feser
Department: Parks, Recreation & Human Services
Preparer: Angie Feser
Background/History
Walker -Macy is the Landscape Architecture consultant involved with the Civic Center Playfield project
since the Master Plan. Currently the firm is performing construction administration services for the park
improvement project.
There are two parts to this request for Council consideration. First, there was an error in the total
contract amount in a proposed December 13, 2022 amendment. Although the amendment contents
were approved by Council, the contract amendment was not able to be executed due to the error.
Second, Walker -Macy is requesting additional items to be added to the contract amount amendment
including two items for additional services related to the park's mitigation project referred to as the
96th Avenue Infiltration project. The revised amendment total is $119,085 and results in a new contract
total of $1,566,898.
With this $119,085 contract amendment, the Civic Center Playfield project is still within City Council's
budget allocation and this is not a request for additional project funding, only an amendment to the
contract's total amount.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends City Council the City of Edmonds and Walker -Macy Professional Services Agreement
Amendment No. 3 of $119,085 resulting a new contract total of $1,566,898.

RE: Edmonds Civic Center Playfield Improvements — P3282.01
Dear Carrie,
We appreciate the opportunity to submit the following proposal for providing landscape architectural
services for the redevelopment of Civic Center Playfield.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND TEAM ROLES:

• Walker Macy, in collaboration with KPFF, will advance the design of 6th Avenue (The
Market Promenade), to a Schematic Design level and 7ch Avenue through Construction
Administration as an optional additional service. Note, this assumes that ROW work is
integrated with park design efforts to reduce cost. If ROW work became a separate effort,
fee estimates would require revision.
The team's skatepark consultant will provide consultation, design guidance and architectural
drawings for the skatepark and/or pumptrack.
5. The City of Edmonds will lead and apply for all applicable grants. Walker Macy will support this
effort with required graphics, narratives, and cost estimates.

Boys and Girls Club facility or footprint that differs from the Master Plan, or
integration of the shade pavilion and restroom structure with a future Boys and Girls
Club facility.
The team's civil engineer will document and provide CAD files for all right-of-way requirements,
erosion and sedimentation control, stormwater features and all utilities.
a. We will collaborate with the civil engineer for stormwater quality features per City of
Edmonds code requirements.
b. The City of Edmonds requires a civil engineer's stamp on all final grading plans.
Therefore we propose to transfer our detailed grading documents after 50% CD to
the civil engineer for final construction documentation, in coordination with Walker
Macy.
c. ROW Improvements along 61h and 71h Avenue. See attached limit of work and
additional services enumerated below.
8. The team's fountain designer will provide water feature design services and mechanical, electrical
and plumbing design guidance, in coordination with related sub consultants, and documentation for
the water feature.

700 Main Street
Edmonds, WA 98020
RE: Edmonds Civic Center Playfield, Stormwater Design at Yost Park
Dear Shannon,
Due to high groundwater conditions at the Edmonds Civic Center Playfield (ECCP) site, the project team
encountered challenges in designing a code -compliant, on -site stormwater detention system for the
proposed development. As a result, the City of Edmonds (City) and the ECCP design team are exploring
the feasibility of installing stormwater infiltration facilities at City -owned Yost Park as a "detention trade" to
partially satisfy flow control requirements at ECCP. The design at Yost will focus on shallow infiltration
facilities (infiltrating bio retention) rather than UIC wells based on preliminary site evaluation conducted by
Shannon & Wilson.
Walker Macy proposes the following sub -consultant team to assist us on the project:
• Geotechnical: Shannon & Wilson
• Civil Engineer: KPFF Consulting Engineers
• Survey: KPFF Consulting Engineers
SCOPE OF WORK:
1. Infiltration Feasibility Evaluation
1.1. Conduct a site visit with the City to identify drilling locations.
1.2. Drill and install two wells approximately 80 feet deep. Each well will be competed with a flush -
mounted monument.
1.3. Perform geotechnical laboratory tests on the samples.
1.4. Perform visual geologic reconnaissance of the steep slopes between the Yost pool and parking
areas.
1.5. Prepare a report detailing the results of the field explorations, site reconnaissance and laboratory
testing.
2. Site Survey
2.1. Perform site survey to establish site control and mapping points on Washington State Plane
Coordinates NAD 83/91 and vertical datum on NAVD 88
2.2. Prepare boundary base map and plot easements affecting the subject property,
2.3. Perform topographic survey of the site as outlined by the design team.

• Wall Design is not included (not anticipated).
• Irrigation, if required, will be documented as design -build.
• SWPPP is not anticipated since site disturbance will be less than 1 acre
• KPFF assumes the design and permitting of a maximum of two shallow infiltration facilities
(infiltrating bioretention). A project survey is currently being completed for Yost Park; upon
receipt of that survey, KPFF will review existing conditions and determine whether or not two
infiltration facilities will be sufficient. If more than two are required, we will request additional
services.

• Per Preliminary information provided by Shannon & Wilson, an infiltration rate of 1-2inches per
hour is available at the site. Shannon & Wilson will perform field testing at the actual proposed
infiltration sites to better estimate infiltration rates.
• Re -grading will be limited to small areas where minor modifications to drainage patterns are
necessary. This will generally be accomplished through a grind and overlay of existing asphalt
surfacing.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 03/21/2023
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
Staff has attached the proposed 2023 Climate Action Plan, the Executive Summary brochure, and the
implementation timeline to this agenda memo. Staff Recommends that Council adopt the 2023 Climate
Action Plan by Resolution, which is also attached.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BROCHURE
o
r
Q
m
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. 224
hEk Equity AA
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
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.
Other key observations include:
• Residential buildings have more than
double the impact of commercial
buildings

distribution of the benefits of

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.

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.

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
3. Support mixed -use and transit -oriented
development in neighborhood commercial
centers.'
4. 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. 237
9.1.d
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
9.1.d
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
equipment like refrigerators. These other gases may
have several times greater effect on the atmosphere
than CO2 does. To express the total quantity of GHGs
using a single unit of measure, GHGs are counted
in terms of metric tons (tonnes) of carbon dioxide
equivalent units, which is abbreviated as MT CO2e.
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

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
14 INTRODUCTION
Packet Pg. 245
9.1.d
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.

CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
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.

9.1.d
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.

9.1.d
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.

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

The Washington Environmental Health Disparities Map shows higher vulnerability to environmental health

housing, and unemployed), while age and housing situation (e.g., solo dwellers) drive high vulnerability

65 and older living alone in both the Highway 99
Corridor and the Bowl, as illustrated in Figure 4.
The unique contexts and frontline communities that
exist within Edmonds need to be considered in the
assessment and prioritization of climate change
resources.
Other issues where climate change and
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
EQUITY
Packet Pg. 256
CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
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
water are major energy uses in commercial and
institutional buildings. Some commercial operations
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.
Actions:
BE-1 Replace Fossil Fuels Used in Existing Buildings with Renewable Energy Resources
BE-1.1 Adopt appropriate zoning allowances to facilitate
installation of renewable energy projects, energy storage,
High
and efficient mechanical equipment, such as height and side
setback or noise exceptions for heat pumps.

9.1.d
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
streets outcomes.
TR-1.2 Develop code and guidelines and zoning that support
mixed -use and transit -oriented (Highway 99 and downtown)
development in neighborhood commercial centers to
encourage close -to -home local shopping and employment
opportunities.
TR-1.3 Provide tax or other incentives for low income or affordable
housing projects in the City's activity centers.

allowing commercial uses in more locations, permitting
more intensive uses, or reducing parking requirements in

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:
TR-2: Reduce VMT by Improving Transit Systems
TR-2.1 Coordinate transit agencies to increase service within
Edmonds and improve access to new light rail connections.

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
establishment of no -idling zones.

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. 278
CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
9.1.d
• 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.

CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
9.1.d
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.

9.1.d
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.

Packet Pg. 281
9.1.d
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
for the metrics in this plan and provide an online dashboard
to keep the public informed on progress.
EN-2.2 Engage in a regional conversation about offsetting GHGs.
High
EN-2.3 Calculate the social and mortality costs of carbon that would
High
result from each Comprehensive Plan update.
EN-2.4 For any emissions that are not offset per metrics the tracking
tool, prepare a calculation of the social and mortality cost on
High

High
emissions locally.

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.
EN-3.2 Develop a plan for adapting to sea level rise in Edmonds.
High
EN-3.3 Evaluate the risks to stormwater infrastructure from higher
intensity storms, and develop plans for upgrades to the
High
system and development codes, if necessary.
EN-3.4 Develop a program to achieve water conservation in
existing buildings and landscaping , with a goal of reducing
High
per capita water use 7% by the year 2035.
EN-3.5 Include measures in the City's Emergency Management Plan
to ensure local energy supply at City operated mass care
High
facilities, such as solar power and battery storage, in the
event of electrical outages due to extreme weather or fires.
EN-3.6 Create a network of emergency cooling and warming
High
centers to be available during extreme weather events.

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 adopted Zero Waste as a long-term goal. Municipal solid waste is reflection of consumption
of material goods. The City of Edmonds estimated that the community -wide waste disposal rate in 2005'
was two 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 reduces 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.).
Actions:

CITY OF EDMONDS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN / FEBRUARY 2023 DRAFT
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. The vast majority of food consumed in
Edmonds comes from elsewhere, grown in a wide variety of environments using wide array of methods.
However, there are two important changes in food consumption 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 smaller households on ways to reduce food waste. Moderate
LC-2.2 Educate consumers benefits of consuming less pre- Moderate

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: 03/21/2023
City of Edmonds Stormwater Management Action Plan (SMAP)
Staff Lead: Rob English
Department: Engineering
Preparer: Emiko Rodarte
Background/History
On September 13, 2022, this item was presented to the Parks and Public Works Committee.
On October 4, 2022, staff presented update to Stormwater Management Action Plan.
On November 15, 2022, staff presented update on the overall Perrinville Basin projects including the
Stormwater Management Action Plan.
On March 14, 2023, staff presented an update to the Parks and Public Works Committee on the
Stormwater Management Action Plan and NPDES Phase II Permit requirements.
Staff Recommendation
Approve Perrinville Creek Stormwater Management Action Plan.
Narrative
The Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) now requires that their receiving water
prioritization process be used by all Phase II cities, which includes the City of Edmonds (City), to meet
the requirements of S5.C.1.d.ii of the Western Washington Phase II National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater permit (Phase II permit). The approach taken to complete this
prioritization process follows Ecology's Stormwater Management Action Planning (SMAP) Guidance
manual, with data that reflect Edmonds priorities, resident feedback, and the Edmonds specific drainage
basins.
Per DOE deadlines and requirements, the City's receiving water assessment was prepared and
submitted to Ecology in March 2022 as the City's Watershed Inventory Technical Memorandum. This
included collated existing information and data for conditions and stormwater influence of the
watersheds that cover the City limits.
Upon completion of the Watershed Inventory Technical Memorandum, per DOE requirements and using
DOE's SMAP Guidance document, a basin prioritization Technical memorandum was prepared. The
intent of this prioritization was to determine which watershed would be the best candidate for
development of a Stormwater Management Action Plan (SMAP). Based on the DOE criteria, the
Perrinville Creek Basin was selected. DOE required that this document be submitted to them by June 30,
2022.
Packet Pg. 299
9.2
Since then, per DOE requirements, stormwater management actions were identified and categorized,
with public input being solicited to give a preference in the ranking of these tasks. DOE requires that the
final SMAP document be submitted to them by March 31, 2023.
The presentation will provide information about this new NPDES requirement, steps that have currently
taken place and further steps that will be completed in order for the City to remain compliant with the
permit.

PURPOSE
The City of Edmonds (City) Perrinville Creek Watershed Stormwater Management Action Plan (SMAP) is
prepared to meet the requirements of S5.C.1.d.iii of the 2019 -2024 Western Washington Phase II
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Stormwater Permit (Phase II Permit)
issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology).
The SMAP is organized according to the permit language and identifies the following for the high priority
catchment located in the Perrinville Creek watershed:
A description of the stormwater facility retrofits needed for the area, including the best
management practice (BMP) types and preferred locations.
Land management/development strategies and/or actions identified for water quality
management.
• Targeted, enhanced, or customized implementation of stormwater management actions related
to Phase II Permit section S5, including:
o Illicit discharge detection and elimination (IDDE) field screening,
o Prioritization of source control inspections,
o Operations and maintenance (O&M) inspections or enhanced maintenance, or
o Public education and outreach behavior change programs.
• If applicable, identification of changes needed to local long-range plans, to address SMAP
priorities.
• A proposed implementation schedule and budget sources for:
o Short-term actions (i.e., actions to be accomplished within 6 years), and
o Long-term actions (i.e., actions to be accomplished within 7 to 20 years).
A process and schedule to provide future assessment and feedback to improve the planning
process and implementation of procedures or projects.

BACKGROUND
The City completed the City of Edmonds Receiving Water Conditions and Stormwater Management
Influence Assessment on March 21, 2022 with a supplemental short addendum on June 2022 (Herrera
2022a) and the City of Edmonds Receiving Water Prioritization on June 27, 2022 (Herrera 2022b). A
Stormwater Management Action Planning web page and StoryMap were developed in January -February
2022 and updated in February 2023. This SMAP is developed based on the findings of the watershed
inventory and prioritization process conducted in 2022 and public input received in 2023. The watershed
data and analysis conducted to prepare this SMAP will serve to better understand stormwater pressures
upon receiving waters.
WATERSHED PRIORITIZATION SUMMARY
Step 1 of the watershed assessment and prioritization process was to identify appropriately sized
watersheds and then refine the list of candidate watersheds. The process started with nine watersheds
which are depicted in Figure 1. Three watersheds (Deer Creek, Lund's Gulch, and Southwest Edmonds)
had 4 percent or less of their area of under City jurisdiction and therefore these were removed from
further consideration, leaving six candidate watersheds to evaluate in Step 2:
• Edmonds Marsh
• Hall Creek -Lake Ballinger
• Northstream-Fruitdale Creeks
• Perrinville Creek
• Shell Creek
• Stilthouse-Terrace Creeks
In Step 2, the remaining six candidate watersheds were evaluated using qualitative metrics from the
receiving water assessment (Herrera 2022a). Metrics represented three categories: water use importance,
development and future growth, and water and habitat conditions. Through the scoring process, four
candidate watersheds emerged as higher priority, specifically for restoration, and were carried forward to
Step 3:
• Edmonds Marsh
• Hall Creek -Lake Ballinger
• Perrinville Creek
• Shell Creek
Step 3 involved applying a second group of metrics to the four remaining candidate watersheds: public
input, social equity, and support of existing plans and projects. As a result of this final step, the Perrinville
Creek watershed was selected as the highest priority watershed for restoration.

The Perrinville Creek watershed was selected as the highest priority watershed based on the following
characteristics:
• High water use importance:
o Potential to support salmon species including coho and resident coastal cutthroat trout
o Supports forage fish spawning areas at the Puget Sound nearshore
o Provides a high level of public access to receiving waters
• Low level of existing and future development:
o Low watershed impervious cover
o Low percentage of development in the stream riparian buffer
o Low expected population growth
• Good water and habitat condition
Moderate jurisdictional control
• Support of social equity considerations
• Support existing stormwater retrofit projects
High level of public support
The portion of the Perrinville Creek watershed that lies within the City limits is 541 acres, thus the full
watershed within the city limits was selected as the catchment area for development of the SMAP since
Ecology's guidance recommends a catchment that is approximately 400 to 600 acres (Ecology 2019).
Figure 2 depicts the Perrinville Creek watershed and catchment that will be the focus of the SMAP.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ACTIONS
Process to Identify Stormwater Management
Actions
Stormwater management actions considered by the project team included projects, policies or programs
to enhance infiltration, improve control of erosive flows, reduce excess flooding, reduce excess sediment
transport and reduce bacterial pollution. City staff were actively involved in action identification,
prioritization, implementation schedule, and identifying funding sources through meetings and field
evaluation. The project StoryMap was updated, a public survey posted, and two public workshops were
held in February 2023 (see the Summary of Public Input section of this SMAP for additional detail). Public
input was solicited for prioritizing land management actions and program enhancements, identifying
additional actions, and identifying areas with uncontrolled stormwater to inform future projects in the
watershed.
Stormwater management actions were identified in three categories:
Strategic stormwater retrofit projects (RP): These projects typically involve design and
construction of a new stormwater facility or expansion/upgrade of an existing facility, to
address existing development. Projects encourage infiltration or flow control and may include a
water quality treatment component.
Land management strategies (LM): Programs, policies or studies targeting methods to improve
or protect lands that are of high value or lands that can be converted to improve water quality
or encourage infiltration or flow control.
Stormwater management program enhancements (SE): Actions integrated with existing Phase II
Permit programs that supplement permit requirements to reduce pollutants, encourage
infiltration and reduce erosive flows.
Strategic Stormwater Retrofit Projects
Two retrofit projects were identified in the Perrinville Creek watershed:
• RP-1. Perrinville 1 Neighborhood Scale Retrofit Feasibility Analysis and Community Outreach
• RP-2. Perrinville 2 Neighborhood Scale Retrofit Feasibility Analysis and Community Outreach
The project locations are depicted in Figure 2. The project name, description and BMP type are shown in

Land Management Strategies
Land management strategies were identified and prioritized based upon implementation feasibility and
their potential to improve receiving water condition.
Four land management strategies were identified in the Perrinville Creek watershed:
• LM-1. Strengthen stormwater design requirements for redevelopment
• LM-2. Work with the City of Lynnwood to find ways to control runoff from existing development
in Lynnwood's portion of the watershed
• LM-3. Identify hard surface areas (such as sections of parking lots or other paved areas) that are
no longer of service to the property owner where pavement could be removed
• LM-4. Provide technical assistance to streamside landowners regarding improving streams and/or
runoff on their property
Table 2 presents each land management strategy and a detailed description.

Stormwater Program Enhancements
The City conducts a number of activities for compliance with the Phase II Permit. These include activities
associated with IDDE, Source Control, Operations and Maintenance, and Public Education and Outreach.
This section describes enhancements related to two permit sections: operations and maintenance (S5.C7)
and public education and outreach (S5.C.2) for the Perrinville Creek watershed. No actions related to
IDDE or source control programs were identified.
Operations and Maintenance
The Phase II Permit requires the City to inspect all City -owned or operated catch basins and inlets every
two years and clean if inspection indicates that cleaning is needed. Additional provisions exist for
reduced cleaning based upon inspection. In the Perrinville Creek watershed, the City identified the
following action:
• SE-1. Continue to train City staff on green stormwater facility maintenance practices
Public Education and Outreach
The Phase II Permit requires the City to implement public education and outreach programs in order to
build awareness, foster behavior change, and provide stewardship opportunities related to water
resource protection. In the Perrinville Creek watershed, the City identified the following actions:
• SE-2. Provide workshops and technical assistance for constructing rain gardens
• SE-3. Conduct annual public rain barrel event
• SE-4. Implement a social media campaign to promote pet waste pickup
• SE-5. Develop and implement a natural yard care program
Table 3 summarizes the Phase II Permit section reference, identified action, and description.

CHANGES TO LONG RANGE PLANS
Identified actions will be considered for incorporation into the 2023-2024 stormwater comprehensive
plan update and the City 2024 Comprehensive Plan periodic update based upon public input, future
anticipated 2024-2029 Phase II Permit requirements, and City Council decisions.
SUMMARY OF PUBLIC INPUT
The City conducted outreach to inform and solicit input using a Stormwater Management Action
Planning web page and several workshops. The project web page and StoryMap summarize the permit
requirements, provide access to project documents, summarize the prioritization process, and highlight
the identified stormwater management actions included in this SMAP. Two virtual public workshops were
advertised through the City's listserv, website, direct email to stakeholders and interested citizens, and a
postcard mailed to addresses in the Edmonds portion of the Perrinville Creek watershed. Two 1-hour
virtual workshops covering the same content were held February 22, 2023 at 12:00pm and 6:00pm. A
total of 39 attendees participated in the workshops (21 attendees at the 12:00pm workshop and 18
attendees at the 6:00pm workshop). A total of 13 responses were received from the public input survey,
which may include multiple responses from an individual (i.e., surveys are anonymous, and no restriction

was placed on multiple entries). The workshop materials and a recording of the presentation can be
found on the City's Stormwater Management Action Planning web page. A summary of the public survey
input is included in Appendix B.
Workshop attendees were asked to select the top three stormwater management actions from a
combined list of land management strategies and stormwater program enhancements (a total of nine
stormwater management actions). The results showed a high level of support for three out of the four
land management strategies included in Table 2:
• LM-1. Strengthen stormwater design requirements for redevelopment
• LM-2. Work with the City of Lynnwood to find ways to control runoff from existing development
in Lynnwood's portion of the watershed
LM-3. Identify hard surface areas (such as sections of parking lots or other paved areas) that are
no longer of service to the property owner where pavement could be removed
The results also showed a moderate level of support for the remaining land management strategy
included in Table 2 and two out of the five stormwater program enhancements included in Table 3
• LM-4. Provide technical assistance to streamside landowners regarding improving streams and/or
runoff on their property
• SE-2. Provide workshops and technical assistance for constructing rain gardens
• SE-5. Develop and implement a natural yard care program
The public input survey (on the project web page) asked respondents to rank the list of land
management strategies and stormwater program enhancements separately. Survey respondents were
asked two additional questions:
1) List other strategies or actions the City could consider to improve conditions in Perrinvilfe Creek
2) Add other areas in the Perrinvilfe Creek watershed where you've seen uncontrolled and damaging
stormwater runoff, for consideration of potential stormwater facility retrofit projects by pinning the
location on the map provided.
When survey participants were asked to Rank the proposed land management strategies in order of
importance, the strategy that received the highest average score was:
• LM-2. Work with the City of Lynnwood to find ways to control runoff from existing development
in Lynnwood's portion of the watershed
Average scores from 11 participants for each proposed land management strategy are summarized in
Figure 4. Two survey participants skipped this ranking question.

A variety of comments were received from survey participants regarding other strategies or actions the
City could consider to improve conditions in Perrinville Creek. Several comments relate to in -stream work

that is not the focus of this SMAP. Other comments express a need for additional stormwater facilities
and proposed locations for new facilities or retrofits of older facilities. A subset of comments is listed
below and all comments are included in Appendix B:
Larger scale infiltration facilities utilizing [underground injection controls] UICs and having small
footprints have been shown feasible and highly beneficial in parts of the watershed: Seaview Park
(Phases 1 & 2), Lynndale Elementary School. There are several existing detention facilities along
the Olympic View Drive corridor in Lynnwood which could be modified to promote infiltration.
• Request Lynnwood actively participate in addressing and funding the stormwater damage caused
to Perrinville Creek.
Other than [technical assistance] TA for rain gardens, I doubt the other enhancement actions will
bear many results for the effort.
Survey participants were also invited to place points on a map indicating other areas in the Perrinville
Creek watershed where uncontrolled and damaging stormwater runoff has been observed. A map of
pinned locations is included in Appendix B. Several points are clustered in one area on a residential
street, which indicates that those points may not have been adjusted from the default point included on
the map.
PROPOSED IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
AND BUDGET SOURCES
For each action, the City identified whether the action would be implemented in the short-term
(accomplished within 6 years) or long-term (accomplished within 7 to 20 years). Short-term is assumed to
be 2024-2030 and long-term is assumed to be 2031-2044, and is dependent on the requirements in the
Phase II Permit reissuance on August 1, 2024.
The proposed budget source for a majority of the stormwater management actions is the existing
stormwater utility fund, with the exception of the stormwater retrofit projects. Stormwater retrofit
projects may be included in the future stormwater comprehensive plan update and incorporated into
capital project planning. Future Phase II Permit requirements for stormwater facility retrofits will be
reviewed and apply to capital project planning.
Table 4 identifies the proposed implementation and potential budget sources for each action.
Appendix C summarizes the cost estimate and assumptions for short-term actions (Table C-1) and long-
term actions (Table C-2). The cost estimates and assumptions are in 2023 dollars and designed to inform
the potential impact to the City stormwater funds of future anticipated Phase II Permit requirements.

Project Description
For the 3.05 acres of potentially suitable ROW area (green), conduct community outreach and a feasibility
analysis to prepare for future green infrastructure projects in the neighborhood:
• Secure grant funding for community engagement and feasibility evaluation.
• Develop a community outreach plan and engage neighborhood residents to help identify
desired project locations in the ROW.
• Investigate hydrogeologic conditions, given the potential for perched groundwater below the till, to
identify suitable locations.
• Apply the results of the feasibility evaluation and hydrogeologic investigation to prioritize sites with the
highest level of community support and greatest cost -benefit.
• Develop conceptual designs in anticipation of final design and construction.
• Apply for grants to fund design and construction.
Bioretention could be used for water quality treatment, coupled with either detention and/or
infiltration, depending on site conditions. Detention could be constructed using detention pipes, detention
chambers, or modular suspended pavement systems. Infiltration could take the form of infiltration trenches
pit drains, or drilled drains, depending on the location, depth to till, and presence of an unsaturated
receptor layer.

One action to improve conditions of Perrinville Creek would be to encourage the removal
and restoration of the illegal bicycle pump track in the east side of Southwest County Park.
This BMX track is above Perrinville Creek, allowing the erosive soil to run down slope into
0
the creek. I have recently seen people actively digging and shaping the track for bicycle use,
but no action has been taken by Snohomish County to stop this activity and restore the park
to its natural state.
There needs to be an Infiltration facility installed on the west side of Olympic View drive
sufficient in size to control any surge in stormwater caused by a significant rain event. This
facility needs to include a filtering system to screen out oil particulates before they enter
Perrinvile Creek.
Also, if feasible, change the flow of stormwater where it enters the creek, to a point angled
downstream from where it is today. The stormwater entering the creek as it is today enters
1
at roughly a 90-degree angle causing an erosion of the far side bank and streambed
siltation. Siltation has been an enormous downstream problem, especially near the outlet
to Brown's Bay.
Also, there is far too much groundwater seeping under 76th Ave from the Lynnwood side,
just north of the Perrinville Post office. The City of Lynnwood needs to redirect that seepage
into a stormwater drainage system before entering the creek.

Other than TA for rain gardens, I doubt the other enhancement actions will bear many
results for the effort. I think Sno Co needs to be involved for the Southwest County Park
(SWCP) portion. You mention pet waste, and there are many dogs walked thru the park
daily, but zero garbage cans provided by the park. In the 6pm meeting you also mention
teaching homeowners to remove invasives by the stream. A group of volunteers remove
invasives in SWCP every Saturday and could be planting natives to parallel the stormwater
8
program action plans. This would be an effort that could be brought to scale. I also wonder
if a properly built trail accessing the creek within the park could do two things-- 1) prevent
errosion by eliminating the current steep "social trails" and 2) provide a view of the creek to
visitors so that they can appreciate better the assets and issues of the creek and water shed
and engage in local improvements.
Large stormwater retention ponds and infiltration galleries are required to reduce
stormwater impacts. Planning should include the impacts of more severe rain events as the
9
climate changes in the future. Responsible design should include a time horizon of 100

would love to see you open up/restore more of perinville creek currently in culvert and

Drastically reduce volume of stormwater going into Perrinville Creek during rainstorms.
Request Lynnwood actively participate in addressing and funding the stormwater damage
caused to Perrinville Creek.
Develop daily maximum cfs "target" for stormwater flows into Perrinville Creek (the cfs
would be based on maximum flow that would NOT damage natural creek conditions) and
THEN implement retrofits in Edmonds AND Lynnwood within one year that will ensure the
maximum flow is NOT exceeded.
Obtain DOE grants for expensive projects to reduce stormwater flow and include Lynnwood
11
in matching funding for such projects.
Eliminate streambank erosion in Perrinville Creek caused by excess stormwater flows from
Lynnwood AND Edmonds.
Fix the damage caused to the lower stream salmon spawning areas caused by the excess
stormwater flows.
Fix the stormwater damaged creek ravine that will otherwise continue to slough sediment
into the creek destroying aquatic organisms and their habitat.

Place a diversion structure under the Perrinville Post Office that will divert excess
stormwater flow into a pipe under 76th Ave that flows in separate pipe along the Lynnwood
sewer pipe down to the Lynnwood Treatment Plant and exits to Puget Sound AFTER it flows
through stormwater treatment vaults. ACTIVELY pursue state & federal funding for this -
DON'T just say it's too expensive.
Restore a "fish friendly" connection to Puget Sound (that was destroyed by excess
12
stormwater) that has appropriate low gradient stream channel for chum salmon spawning
including assurance of clean spawning gravel. Include an estuary on east side of railroad
tracks to provide essential habitat for juvenile salmon.
Mitigate the losses caused to salmonid populations in Perrinville Creek by excess
stormwater by implementing a juvenile salmonid re -introduction and enhancement project.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 03/21/2023
Potential Parkland Acquisition - Southwest of SR 104
Staff Lead: Angie Feser
Department: Parks, Recreation & Human Services
Preparer: Angie Feser
Background/History
This is an update for a potential parkland acquisition. This land acquisition is contingent upon City
Council consideration and approval. Due diligence is currently being conducted and when all the
necessary information is available, the City Council will be presented with the details for review and
authorization for the Mayor to proceed with the acquisition.
The City of Edmonds has prioritized the acquisition of property for purposes of increased equitable
access to parkland, conservation and environmental benefits. With the city being mostly built out, it is
challenging to find undeveloped, heavily treed parcels available. Recently, a property which meets many
acquisition goals has developed into a developing potential parkland acquisition in southern Edmonds.
Parks staff is working swiftly to secure a property that was recently put on the market and are
competing with private developer offers. This is two -parcel property totaling a little more than an acre,
is heavily vegetated with significant trees, has two small older houses with no tenants and would
provide a much -needed passive -use neighborhood park for the Edmonds community south and west of
SR 104. The site is located in area of the city where residences are not within % mile walkability to any
public park (city or county) and the annual household income is less than $65,000. Please see attached
maps for more detail.
The advertised asking price is $1.3M and the City has ordered an appraisal to use in negotiating the
purchase price. Staff is also pursuing potential grant opportunities including 2023 Snohomish County
Conservation Futures (CFT) and 2024 Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) programs. The CFT
program currently does not have a waiver of retroactivity option and this potential acquisition timeline
does not fit within current CFT application process slated for later this year. As such, staff was invited to
present to the County's CFT Funding Board on March 6th to request an exception for funding
consideration.
This property meets many of the 2022 Parks, Recreation & Open Space (PROS) Plan goals, objectives and
recommendations including -
Goal #3 - Parks, Trails & Open Space and related objectives #3.1 and 3.2;
Goal #5 - Natural Resource & Habitat Conservation and related objectives #5.1, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5;
Recommendation #1 - Acquisitions to Fill Park System Gaps;
Recommendation #2 - Open Space and Conservation Acquisitions; and
Six -Year Capital Facilities Program (2023 acquisition of $1.5M in SE Edmonds).
Packet Pg. 352

In addition, it also fulfills the Council adopted 2023 Parks CIP $1.5M allocation for Neighborhood Park -
SE1 described as south Edmonds target area acquisition.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 03/21/2023
Longbay Enterprises Contract Amendment No. 5
Staff Lead: Angie Feser
Department: Parks, Recreation & Human Services
Preparer: Angie Feser
Background/History
The Parks, Recreation & Human Services department has used the real estate consultant services of
Longbay Enterprises since January 2021 to provide professional services and support of parkland
acquisition efforts. These services include searching for available properties; negotiating with property
owners; performing due diligence; ordering and reviewing appraisals, appraisal reviews and ALTA
surveys; drafting and reviewing legal documents and contracts and providing general consulting services
related to public property acquisition.
Over the past two years, Longbay Enterprises have assisted with the department's efforts to acquire
parkland property with finding and negotiating more than a dozen potential property acquisitions
including the acceptance of the Shirley Johnson property. Some of those opportunities were potential
donations which failed to reach preliminary agreements, negotiations with land owners offering parcels
for sale in which the city and owners could not initially agree on a purchase price for discussion, and
others were presented to Council in Executive Session which did not develop into further negotiations.
On September 20, 2022 staff presented to Council a park land acquisition program report (related
agenda item, presentation and meeting minutes attached) which highlighted a number of potential and
successful acquisitions.
The current professional services agreement amount of $90,000 needs to be amended to $150,000 to
provide on -call services in preparation for upcoming acquisition activities. This amount, being greater
than $100,000, requires Council review and approval. The original contract and all subsequent
amendments were developed and approved to form by the City Attorney. The initial Professional
Services Agreement was secured through the City's purchasing policy of sole source procurement which
has the same approval amounts as other city contracts. Expenditures are funded by the land acquisition
budget what was approved by Council during the annual budget process.

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 09/20/2022
Park Land Acquisition Report
Staff Lead: Angie Feser
Department: Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Preparer: Angie Feser
Background/History
The Parks, Recreation & Human Services Department has actively pursued parkland acquisition for the
past two years as one of the Mayor's priorities for the City of Edmonds. The purpose of acquiring
property is for the conservation of the community's natural resources. The presentation scheduled for
the September 20, 2022, City Council meeting is to share an update of park land acquisition efforts
including property considerations and negotiations to date as well as share methods used to acquire
public property and funding sources. Highlights are included in this agenda item with more detail
provided during the presentation.
2021 Acquisitions
The transfer of nearly one acre of property at 9309 Bowdoin Way adjacent to Yost Park donated by
Shirley Johnson was completed during 2021 and is now part of the Edmonds park system. The historical
site contains a house and several outbuildings, numerous fruit and significant trees and connects
Bowdoin Way and Yost Park. In addition, a result of records research determined the City has a 1968 Use
Deed for 20 acres of tidelands adjacent to and north of Brackett's Landing North Park which provides
access to nearly 1,000 feet of beach and Puget Sound and prohibits future development of the beach or
tidelands.
2020 - 2021 Property Considerations and Negotiations
The past two years the Parks Department has evaluated more than a dozen properties and engaged in
negotiations for a number of potential acquisitions, both in the form of donation and purchase. These
include, but are not limited to, the following parcels.
Donations - owner approached City about possible donation
1. 232"d St W/Edmonds Way, 0.5 acre, developed with small house (owner changed their
mind)
75th PI W/Meadowdale Rd, 1.28 acres, undeveloped (owner conditions not agreeable
with City)
Donations - ongoing discussion between jurisdictions
3. Southwest Snohomish County Park, 120 acres within Edmonds city limits, open space
4. Esperance Park, 9.55 acres outside Edmonds city limits, developed park
Purchase - negotiations not actively ongoing
5. Perrinville Woods, 4.69 acres, mostly undeveloped land (2 houses)
6. Main Street Property, 0.15 acre, undeveloped
Packet Pg. 375
9.4.b
Purchase - negotiations ongoing
1. Unocal Property (adjacent to Edmonds Marsh), 21.13 acres, undeveloped
2. Hwy 99 Property, developed
Staff Recommendation
No Council action necessary as this is an update of the park land acquisition program.
Narrative
Acquisition Methods
Methods for land acquisition may be divided into four general categories: purchase, donation,
conservation and other. Purchases include methods to achieve an outright purchase of property at fair
market value and can be Fee Simple Purchase, Option to Purchase or Right of First Refusal. Donations
include approaches to work with a private property owner to ultimately donate property to the City such
as Full Donation, Partial Donation and Life Estate. Conservation methods work to achieve conservation
of property in its current context through use of Snohomish County funding programs. These programs
have many stipulations and limitations, but when properties are eligible for and fit these programs,
these methods can be effective tools to accomplish acquisition goals. They include Transfer of
Development Rights (TDR), Public Benefit Rating System (PBRS) and Conservation Futures Grant Program.
There are other creative tools and techniques to accomplish land acquisition. These methods include the
acquisition of partial property rights, such as public easements, leases, land trades and partnership
agreements. Also included are private developer obligations which result in dedications of property. In
rare cases relating to essential public facilities, eminent domain may also be a tool for land acquisition.
Funding
Land acquisitions can require considerable funding resources and at time extend beyond existing capital
allocations. The City currently has nearly $1.1M allocated for land acquisition, with an additional
$200,000 designated to accumulate annually in the fund. Other city funding sources include REET (Real
Estate Excise Tax), PIF (Park Impact Fees) and General Fund. The City also has the ability to borrow
money in ways including the use of bond funds. State and local grants are another source of acquisition
resources, but timing of funding cycles and landowner purchase requirements can be an issue. In those
situations, there are programs through land trust organizations that can bridge the timing of fund
expenditures and availability.

Councilmember Tibbott commented in that case it makes sense there would be some compensation for
removing the public's rights. Mr. Taraday said another reason that cities charge for street vacations is the
council is stewards of public funds and one of their responsibilities is to look out for the taxpayers' G
resources and not give away property that has value. It would be one thing if everybody in Edmonds o
could get a street vacation and the city council decided it did not want to charge anyone for street Z
vacations. The reality is not everyone gets a street vacation, they only exist in a few pockets of the City so E
it creates a benefit for a certain class of citizens who happen to abut an unopened right-of-way. E
Councilmember Tibbott said he was uncomfortable micromanaging or examining a property valuation
done by a certified commercial appraiser. He did not disagree it sounded like a low valuation, but these
professionals work hard at their craft and what has been provided is their best effort. He had some unease
attempting to change what a professional evaluator determined for this property.
Councilmember Paine recalled the City has defended its rights to access unopened right-of-way used by
the public that lead to the water and if there are encroachments. Mr. Taraday answered the City requires
encroachment permits when someone builds a structure in a right-of-way. He was unable to speak to how
commonly the City defends its unopened rights -of -way or requires encroachment permits, but it was his
sense encroachment permits were fairly common. Councilmember Paine clarified extra steps were
required to do things in a right-of-way. She agreed with Councilmember Tibbott, this appraisal was done
in accordance with the requirements in the code and she did not want to change the appraisal.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mayor Nelson declared a brief recess.
There was unanimous consent from the council to postpone Item 10.3, Development Code Rewrite Work

Council President Olson referred to the quote on the slide regarding the Shirley Johnson donation and
asked if those were the exact words in the bequest. Ms. Feser answered yes.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if Snohomish County wanted to gift the City the two parks. Ms. Feser
answered preliminary conversations, especially regarding Southwest County Park, were a straight transfer
of property. Councilmember Buckshnis observed in addition to an increase in park staff, there would also
need to be an increase in police staff. She also noted Southwest County Park was a key part of Perrinville
Creek.
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled a presentation at the Lake Ballinger Forum regarding the old golf
course in Mountlake Terrace and asked if Edmonds planned to do an ILA with Mountlake Terrace to put
a park on the Edmonds side of property. Ms. Feser said at this time she does not have direction from the

council to talk to Mountlake Terrace about an ILA for shared development. It would be worth a
conversation during the CIP/CFP budget process and if council wants to make that a priority, it would be
a project worth pursuing. She anticipated Mountlake Terrace would be a willing partner in preliminary
discussions. Councilmember Buckshnis commented the designs are fabulous and include a fishing pier. o
Councilmember Chen liked the idea of an ILA with Mountlake Terrace for the former golf course
property. He referred to the Plum Street Plaza property on Highway 99 that has been vacant for over year
after a fire on September 11, 2021. He has not seen any movement on that property and suggested it had
the potential for acquisition. He asked if that was one of the properties on Highway 99 that were listed on
the spreadsheet in the presentation. Ms. Feser answered no, the spreadsheet primarily identifies
undeveloped/underdeveloped parcels. She could look into the Plum Street Plaza if the council desires.
Councilmember Chen suggested looking into possibilities for that parcel, finding out the owners' intent,
and expressing the City's interest.
Councilmember Teitzel commented acquiring additional space for citizens' enjoyment is exciting. He
observed the two county parks are already within the City's boundaries, so use by residents and visitors
would not change, but the responsibility for maintenance would shift from Snohomish County to the City
of Edmonds. He asked if Snohomish County would be willing to provide funds to Edmonds to help
defray maintenance costs. Ms. Feser answered as part of a transfer, it would be worth discussing
maintenance operations and/or improvements with Snohomish County.
Councilmember Teitzel referred to the Unocal property, commenting it would be great if that property
could be retained in a natural state for wildlife purposes, fish recovery, etc. He asked if there have been
any discussion with the State about transferring the property to the City instead of selling it as long as it
supported environmental goals related to wildlife preservation and salmon restoration. Ms. Feser
answered conversations began with the State in late 2020/early 2021 about being creative such as would
WSDOT be willing transfer to the property to other department like DNR or Fish and Wildlife and the
City lease it from them. Those conversations did not get very far. There is some concern by WSDOT that
they have spent $8 million to purchase the property and they need to get value back out of it. There are
some RCWs that dictate that they may need to be made whole. The City is waiting for the site to be
cleaned and transferred to WSDOT before having those conversations. The City should retain the first
right of refusal so it is first in line when WSDOT decides to sell it. There are various forms of acquisition
such as easements, dedications, donations, WSDOT retains ownership and the City develops it, etc.; it
does not have to be fee purchase.
Councilmember Teitzel commented it seems like the cleanup is taking a long time. He visits the area
frequently and does not see any work happening. Ms. Feser answered the physical cleanup was
completed; they are monitoring the site via numerous small wells. There is a period of time those have to
sit and have certain readings before they can be cleared. Even when that is done, it has to sit for another
year to maintain the readings. The property is in that final stage of the process now.
Councilmember Paine commented Esperance Park does not touch Edmonds. Ms. Feser agreed it was
currently in unincorporated Snohomish County and technically not within the City of Edmonds.
Councilmember Paine referred to a very thin strip of undeveloped land, noting if that was acquired, it
would touch Edmonds. She asked if that property was part of the land acquisition under consideration.
Ms. Feser said she was not aware of that parcel but could research it.
Councilmember Paine suggested informing the public that the City can accept property donations if it is a
good match for all parties. Ms. Feser commented there are many forms of donation, such as partial
lifetime estates (the donor can live on the property until they choose to leave), conservation easements,
etc. and City staff is more than willing to talk to property owners about those.

With regard to SW Snohomish County Park, Councilmember Tibbott said some of his neighbors are
involved with cleanup in the park and would like to improve the trail system in park, but they are not
allowed to because it is not an Edmonds park. Acquiring that park would speak volumes to the people
who want to be more actively involved.
Councilmember Tibbott recalled approximately a decade ago when uses of the Unocal property were
considered, one of possibilities if there was not a ferry terminal, was developing it with condominiums.
He asked about the zoning of the Unocal property. Ms. Feser answered it is general commercial and/or
master plan; it is not currently zoned open space. In light of the fact that it borders natural habitat and is
used by many animals, Councilmember Tibbott said there may be a better zoning designation for that
property. He asked if the possibility of rezoning it to something more compatible with the current
condition versus a commercial use had been considered. Ms. Feser answered it has been considered a
little, but the current owner, Unocal as well as WSDOT, may have concerns because rezoning the
property to open space may change the value of the land.
Councilmember Tibbott said that should at least be explored, because it has become much more natural
habitat over the years versus a commercial/industrial space and that might be a way to recognize what has
happened on the property over those decades.
With regard to Esperance, Council President Olson said the prospect of investing in an area that is not in
Edmonds is a con. There is opportunity for economic development in that area, connecting to the
Highway 99 International District right at the hub, doing an International Art Corridor that connects to the
park, etc. She was glad there were conversations occurring even though it gives her pause.
Councilmember Buckshnis said the Unocal property is zoned CW, Commercial Waterfront. Uses for the
property were considered during the time Joan Bloom and Lora Petso were councilmembers. The
environment has changed so it's possible Unocal may be more receptive to rezoning the property. It
would be great to downzone the property because the cleanup may be different. She supported extending
the first right of refusal.
Councilmember Chen commented Esperance Park is very nice and it is close to Highway 99, but it is the
only park Esperance residents use. If the City acquired that park, it would take green space away from the
Esperance residents which he was hesitant to do. Alternatively, he suggested talking with the residents
about annexing Esperance along with the park.
3. DEVELOPMENT CODE REWRITE WORK PLAN
This item was removed from the agenda.
4. 2022 SEPTEMBER BUDGET AMENDMENT
Administrative Services Director Dave Turley reviewed the proposed amendments:
• Temporary staffing to cover a vacancy in admin services. The position has been posted but has
not yet been filled.
• Under OPMA, the City is required to provide a physical location for the public to attend
meetings, even those held remotely. Using the Waterfront Center is no longer feasible. This
amendment convert a room on the first floor of city hall.
Councilmember Tibbott asked whether the space would be available for community meetings when not
used for virtual meetings. Mr. Turley said there would need to be a staff person there for any meeting.
The intent is to install a door to the sidewalk in an office on the southeast corner of the first floor of city
hall to make it easy to access. Once people are in that room, they would have access to city hall so it
