1. ROLL CALL
City Clerk Scott Passey called the roll. All elected officials were present.
2. DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE 2015
BUDGET
Council President Fraley-Monillas recalled last week this item was moved tonight’s study session;
however, this agenda item states discussion and potential action.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
MOVE ITEM 2 TO ITEM 6A. MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS
VOTING NO.
3. CONTINUED CLOSED-RECORD REVIEW OF THE HEARING EXAMINER'S
RECOMMENDATION ON PROPOSED FIELD IMPROVEMENTS AT THE FORMER
WOODWAY HIGH SCHOOL
Mayor Earling observed neither the Edmonds School District’s (ESD) attorney nor anyone representing
the opposition was present. He asked City Attorney Jeff Taraday whether it was appropriate to proceed.
Mr. Taraday agreed it was curious so few people were present. Although a delay would be a great
inconvenience to the Council, he was leery about proceeding without an understanding of why the parties
were not present.
Packet Page 9 of 400
Council President Fraley-Monillas asked how the parties were made aware of the meeting time change.
City Clerk Scott Passey advised a special meeting notice was posted on the City’s website and locations
throughout the City as well as the agenda was posted on the City’s website Friday afternoon. Council
President Fraley-Monillas asked whether the Council could begin the meeting with the study session and
return to this item. Mr. Taraday explained under the Open Public Meetings Act, at a special meeting the
Council is limited to conducting the business identified in the special meeting notice which was Item 2
that was moved to Item 6A and this item, Continuance of the Closed Record Review which is
mysteriously poorly attended. Mayor Earling observed the ESD’s attorney was now present.
Councilmember Bloom asked if the Council could take a break until 6:15 p.m., the time on the agenda
when this item was estimated to begin. Mr. Taraday said the Council could wait as long they wished. He
was concerned there could be a claimed lack of notice. For example, if the Council proceeds with
Appearance of Fairness Doctrine (AFD) disclosures, there would be no one from the opponent group
present to make an objection. That concerned him because he did not want on appeal to defend the AFD
compliance when the people who could have objected were not present to object. He acknowledged it was
potentially bending over backward to wait for the parties to show up, but looking ahead, he was
concerned about moving forward.
Councilmember Mesaros said if the meeting was noticed for this time, the Council should proceed.
Although he shared Mr. Taraday’s concerns, notice was given and people had anticipated this agenda
item. He recommended the Council move forward.
Councilmember Petso suggested recessing until 7:00 p.m. but would do whatever Mr. Taraday
recommended. Mr. Taraday explained this is a Council decision. There are obvious risks and benefits; if
the Council proceeds, the benefit is the meeting stays on schedule. The downside is if this matter ends up
in litigation, and he acknowledged he had no idea whether it would or not but there was at least some
chance based on the way the parties are currently postured, this would be one more issue that someone
could raise. He clarified he was not commenting on the merits of that issue; by every indication proper
notice was given of the special meeting. He summarized he was suggesting there was an excuse not to be
here but that was another issue that someone could raise that would potentially need to defended.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said she could understand if there were even a few people in the
audience representing the opposition but the fact that no one was present led her to believe there had been
a misunderstanding. She did not want to risk further litigation by proceeding even if the meeting was
properly noticed. She concluded it was probably better for the City and both sides to recess until 7:00
p.m.
Councilmember Bloom agreed with Council President Fraley-Monillas and Councilmember Petso that the
Council should recess until 7:00 p.m. She found it highly unusually that no one was here given the
amount of passion in the room last week.
Councilmember Nelson also agreed with recessing until 7:00 p.m.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO RECESS THE MEETING UNTIL 7:00 P.M.
Councilmember Johnson asked whether the Council could return to the item originally scheduled as
Agenda Item 2, the 2015 budget amendment.

UPON ROLL CALL VOTE, MOTION FAILED (2-5) COUNCILMEMBERS BLOOM AND
PETSO VOTING YES; AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-MONILLAS AND
COUNCILMEMBERS BUCKSHNIS, JOHNSON, MESAROS AND NELSON VOTING NO.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BLOOM, TO TAKE UP THE CLOSED RECORD REVIEW AT 7:00 P.M.
Councilmember Buckshnis relayed her understanding of a study session/work session that this item could
not be moved to study session/work session. Mr. Taraday said the Council can conduct any business they
want at the regular meeting after 7:00 p.m. Before 7:00 p.m. the agenda items are limited to the items that
were noticed for the special meeting.
MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS VOTING NO.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO MOVE STUDY SESSION ITEM 6A BACK TO THE SPECIAL MEETING ITEM
2. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
2. DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE 2015
BUDGET
Finance Director Scott James provided an overview of the first quarter budget amendment:
• 14 decision packages
o 2 decision packages have previously been discussed by Council
o 12 new decision packages
• $248,645 in new revenues to pay toward $766,701 in new expenditures.
He displayed and reviewed the Change in Fund Balance Summary, advising the net change in ending
fund balance was a decrease of $518,000. He displayed Exhibit E: Specific Accounts Amended for
Decision Packages.
He reviewed decision packages previously discussed by Council:
• Reprinting of informational brochures for the Historical Preservation Commission - $4,000
o Originally budgeted in 2014, not expended in 2014
• Council approved $1.2 million for the Street Preservation Program in 2014 and staff withheld
$260,000 to provide a local match on a federal grant to overlay 220th Street in 2015. This budget
amendment will add the $260,000 that was removed during the 2015 budget preparation process.
Funding will be provided by the 126 REET 1: Special Capital Project Fund.
o REET 1 funds may be spent on any capital purpose identified in a capital improvement plan
for the purposes of planning, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair, replacement,
rehabilitation or improvement.
o REET 2 may be spent on items that include street projects and park projects (with the
exclusion of the acquisition of land). In 2011 the Washington State Legislature temporarily
changed the laws governing the use of REET 2 funds by allowing funds to be used for street
and park maintenance expenditures.
o 2014 actual REET 1 revenues were approximately $690,000 higher than anticipated
Mr. James reviewed new decision packages:
• Edmonds 125th Anniversary Celebration festivities - $5,000.
o Total anticipated cost is $7,500; staff anticipates $2,500 will come from sponsors/fundraising
• Increase of $4,000 in compensation for state lobbyist from $36,300 to $40,300
• Merchant fee charges paid by Development Services for each credit card transaction - $10,450
Packet Page 11 of 400
• Additional assistance with Comprehensive Plan update - $14,200
o Offset in part by $6,000 grant
• Printing Wildlife of Edmonds Poster - $2,527
o Self-funded via grant from the Hubbard Family Foundation
• Health & Fitness Expo Supplies - $4,000
o Self-funded via sponsorship
• Update Council Chambers/Court audio and video equipment - $195,000
o If budget amendment is approved, RFP process will follow
o Cost would be paid out of the Franchise Education Fee revenues ($89,000) and from the
annual Washington State Judicial contribution ($20,000) with the balance from a 2-year
General Fund loan paid by the end of 2017 with future Education Fees.
• Hazel Miller Concerts - $8,500
o Self-funded via grant from Hazel Miller Foundation
• Donation for 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor Interim Art Project from Edmonds Arts Festival
Foundation - $10,000
• Perrinville Creek Stormwater Flow Reduction Retrofit Study - $4,000
o Original $1,000 budget not adequate to finish reports and respond to DOE comments
• Replace fleet van and convert to Bi-Fuel propane - $37,718
o Offset by $16,518 in insurance for van totaled in an accident
• Replacement of Police Radios - $12,306
Mr. James displayed Exhibit A: Summary of beginning fund balance, revenue, expenses and ending fund
balance; Exhibit B: Revenues; and Exhibit C: Expenditures. He summarized:
• Revenues increased $248,645
• Expenditures increased $766,701
• Ending fund balance decreased $518,056
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to the $110,000 interfund loan from the General Fund for the audio
upgrade and asked why it was split into two years. Mr. James answered through March there is
approximately $109,000; $20,000 from the annual Washington state Judicial contribution and $89,000
from the Comcast fee. There will not be enough collected this year or in 2016 to cover the cost, therefore,
a few months of revenue from 2017 will be necessary. The rate for the interfund loan is the State Pool rate
of .11-.12%. Mr. James advised details are included in the PowerPoint emailed to Councilmembers.
Councilmember Bloom referred to the decision package regarding $1.2 million for the Street Preservation
Program in 2014 and staff withheld $260,000 to provide a local match on a federal grant to overlay 220th
Street in 2015. She relayed her understanding the budget amendments total $518,000. Mr. James clarified
the ending fund balance is decreased by $518,000. Councilmember Bloom asked whether that included
the decision packages that were self-funded. Mr. James answered that amount is the net of all revenues
and expenses.
Councilmember Bloom read from the PowerPoint that this budget amendment will add the $260,000 that
was removed during the 2015 budget preparation process. She referred to a summary of the Council’s
discussion of this item during the budget process which indicated this amount was removed so the funds
could be used for purchase of property as designated in REET. She asked the rationale for restoring those
funds now when they were removed during the budget process. Mr. James explained for five years the
City did not fund its Street Preservation Program so it is behind by a number of years. The Mayors budget
message states his priority to catch up on street preservation and these funds help accomplish that. When
the funds were removed from the budget, they were not allocated to a specific property purchase but
banked for future acquisition. The City has a current need to fund streets. He suggested the City adopt a
policy to maintain what currently exists.
Packet Page 12 of 400
Councilmember Bloom said she understood that and said that was Mr. James’ opinion. Councilmember
Bloom questioned why the $260,000 was being added as a budget amendment when it was removed
during the budget process. She understood street preservation but did not understand why funds that were
allocated in the 2015 budget process were being pulled from property acquisition. Mr. James explained
during that process, the budget was reduced and the funds placed in fund balance; the funds were not
budgeted for property acquisition. The budget amendment reallocates those funds to street preservation.
Councilmember Bloom pointed out there would then not be $260,000 to potentially purchase property if
property becomes available. Mr. James explained when the funds were rebalanced, he discovered there
was $689,000 more in revenue than was anticipated so there is additional revenue to cover it.
Councilmember Bloom reiterated if the $260,000 is allocated to street preservation program it will not be
available for purchase of property. Mr. James explained when the budget was adjusted to remove that
amount, it was not reallocated for property acquisition, it was moved into fund balance. The budget
amendment requests the $260,000 be allocated for street preservation. The Council could still chose to
allocate funds for property acquisition.
Councilmember Buckshnis clarified the budget amendment to allocate $260,000 for street preservation is
similar to balancing your checkbook and discovering you have additional funds available. The discovery
of additional REET revenue allows the $260,000 to be allocated for the 220th Street match. She expressed
support for the decision package.
Councilmember Petso did not support that decision package, recalling she made the motion during the
budget process to not allocate property acquisition funds to paving roads. She referred to the decision
package regarding upgrading Council Chambers/Court audio and video equipment and asked how much
of the total project cost of $195,000 was available from Comcast fees. Mr. James answered as of today
there is approximately $109,000 available, $89,000 in Comcast fees and $20,000 from the Judicial
contribution. Councilmember Petso asked whether the Comcast fees are in the 001 Fund in the budget.
Mr. James answered yes. Councilmember Petso observed the remaining amount was $85,000 which Mr.
James said is the amount of the interfund loan.
Councilmember Johnson referred to the decision package regarding merchant fee charges, and asked why
the merchant fee was passed along when it was her understanding development fees should pay for
themselves. The description of the decision package indicates staff is developing a plan for compensating
for these charges. She questioned why the amendment proposes allocating funds for all of 2015 if staff is
in process of changing it. Mr. James said the City is charged a processing fee for credit cards, there is no
fee in the permit process for that. Staff is looking at either outsourcing collection of credit cards to a
vender who would pass on the fee or the City charging the fee itself. He did not have an estimated
timetable for when a decision would be made regarding those options. The City is currently being
assessed a fee and that amount was not budgeted. Councilmember Johnson said charging the fee would be
in keeping with the overall policy and she favored pursuing that.
Councilmember Petso agreed with the intent of Councilmember Johnson’s comment and asked whether
Council action was required to stop accepting credit cards for large fees and force people to provide a
check or if that could be done administratively. Mr. James answered either the Council could make that a
policy or the Mayor could provide that direction to staff. Councilmember Petso asked if the City was
legally allowed to say if a credit card charge is more than $500, a check is required. Mr. James said if the
City leverages a fee, it needs to be the same for everyone.
Councilmember Petso asked whether the City could decline to accept credit cards for fees in excess of
$500. Mr. James was not certain, the City’s soft policy is $5,000 but people get around that by using
Packet Page 13 of 400
multiple credit cards. Councilmember Petso asked whether the City was legally allowed to have a policy,
whether by Council or administrative action, not to accept credit cards for fees in excess $500. Mr.
Taraday said he would need to research that.
Council President Fraley-Monillas asked the fee on $5,000 charge. Mr. James answered the fee is 3%.
Council President Fraley-Monillas referred to the budget amendment related to the Street Preservation
Program and asked Mr. James to describe again the additional $600,000 in revenue. Mr. James referred to
Budget Book page 170, advising Exhibit A updates that information to reflect the revised fund balance.
When the budget was prepared, the estimated fund balance was $470,000; the actual is $1.1 million.
Council President Fraley-Monillas asked what fund the money is in. Mr. James answered REET 1 Fund
126.
Councilmember Mesaros referred to the merchant fees, observing the budgeted amount of $10,450
represents approximately $350,000 in charges with a 3% fee. He said the $10,450 is the cost of doing
business in today’s world where people tend to do business with plastic rather than checkbooks. He
recommended approval of that amendment but was open to recommendations to mitigate those costs.
Councilmember Nelson referred to the Street Preservation Program amendment, and asked, where the
funds would come from if the $260,000 was not restored. Mr. James said options are limited; the City
already does a good job of maximize street preservation funds. In the past funds were transferred from the
General Fund but the substantial bill from Fire District 1 last fall of $1.6 million and future higher bills
eliminates that source in the future. Other options include REET; the 126 Fund has money that could be
utilized for that purpose.
Council President Fraley-Monillas asked whether the 126 Fund can be used for parks acquisition. Mr.
James answered yes, REET 1 (126 Fund) can be used for property acquisition; REET 2 cannot.
Council President Fraley-Monillas how much money is in REET 2. Mr. James answered the budget
projected $400,000; the actual will be less than that amount. He did not have the updated amounts
available tonight.
Councilmember Petso said even if the $260,000 is not counted toward roads, the 2015 budget still
includes $550,000 from the General Fund and $750,000 from REET 2 for a total of $1.3 million. Mr.
James referred to estimated amounts on page 174 of the budget book. Public Works Director Phil
Williams said Councilmember Petso’s figures were likely correct. When it was realized there was an
approximately $100,000 shortfall in REET funds, he agreed not to draw $50,000 into the Street
Preservation Fund and Ms. Hite agreed not to spend $50,000 on park projects.
Councilmember Petso observed that would reduce the Street Preservation Fund to $1.25 million not
counting the $260,000 for the 220th project. Mr. Williams said there would be $1.25 million in new
revenue. The $260,000 in the 2014 budget was moved into 2015 to match the federal grant for 220th. The
$260,000 was subsequently taken out of the 2015 budget. Therefore the only option is to reduce the work
planned in 2015 by an equal amount. He assumed the Council did not want to return the federal grant and
not pave 220th. If that amount is removed from the $1.25 million, other work that was planned will not be
done.
Councilmember Petso said if the $260,000 decision package is not reinstated, those funds would be taken
from the $1.25 million to match the 220th grant leaving close to $1 million for other paving projects. Mr.
Williams agreed with that calculation.
Packet Page 14 of 400
Councilmember Bloom questioned the $4,000 for the lobbyist, relaying her understanding Mr. Doubleday
was “passing the wand to someone else.” Economic Development & Community Services Director
Patrick Doherty said lobbyist services this year have been provided by Mr. Doubleday and Jennifer
Ziegler. At the end of the session, the post session follow-up and preparation for next year will be done by
Ms. Ziegler. Councilmember Bloom asked when the $4,000 amount would start. Mr. Doherty explained
the annual contract is $36,300. The monthly cost is higher during the session when more work occurs and
lower for the remainder of the year. The additional $4,000 increases the contract total to $40,300 and will
be proportionally added to the remaining months of this year. Councilmember Bloom asked if the $4,000
additional cost would continue in the future. Mr. Doherty said the City has not received a proposal for
next year’s services; the baseline would be $40,300. Councilmember Bloom asked why this was not
included in the 2015 budget. Mr. Doherty said Mr. Doubleday recognized the City’s recessionary years
and did not ask for an increase for several years. When he submitted the request, the budget had already
been prepared and he agreed to wait for a budget amendment.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF THE FIRST QUARTER
BUDGET AMENDMENT.
Councilmember Bloom raised a point of order, stating approving the budget amendment tonight would be
contrary to the decision at the last meeting to move it to a study session as well as the decision at the
beginning of the meeting to move it to the study session. She did not feel the motion for approval was
appropriate when only four minutes remained and there was no time to discuss potential amendments.
MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Mayor Earling advised this item will be scheduled for action on a future agenda. He declared a brief
recess.
STUDY SESSION
3. CONTINUED CLOSED-RECORD REVIEW OF THE HEARING EXAMINER'S
RECOMMENDATION ON PROPOSED FIELD IMPROVEMENTS AT THE FORMER
WOODWAY HIGH SCHOOL (CON’T)
Mayor Earling relayed Mr. Taraday’s indication that some of the people who it was thought would be
here tonight were a school board meeting. He assumed the opposition would have been here tonight had
they intended to listen to the outcome of the Council’s discussion but it was up to the Council to decide
whether to move forward.
Council President Fraley-Monillas suggested proceeding. No Councilmembers voiced opposition to
proceeding.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether the Approval of the Agenda and Consent Agenda and Audience
Comments would occur before the Closed Record Review. Mr. Taraday said the Closed Record Review
was originally scheduled for approximately 6:15 p.m. and the Council can reorder the agenda as it wishes
at a regular meeting.

6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Doug Schwartz, Edmonds, recalled he spoke to the Council last week about the Council considering the
purchase of the Edmonds Conference Center. He provided rationale for investigating the purchase, stating
a smart city plans for its future. The Conference Center is a prime piece of real estate, located close to
existing City offices, is perfect for future expansion and there are few other opportunities for expansion
nearby. The building would make an excellent entrepreneurial development center; by hosting a business
technology incubator, the City could generate significant revenue and promote high tech job creation. As
a member of the Economic Development Commission, he has heard the City’s goal of attracting younger
families which high tech jobs would do. Although there is water damage in the building, the $1 million
estimate appears to be high; the repair portion of the estimate is only $438,000. The estimate from North
Sound Church’s independent investigation was significant less than $500,000. Further, the State is willing
to consider offsets for job creation, future revenue generation and the estimated repair costs. He
summarized there has to be some price at which purchasing the building makes overwhelming sense. He
encouraged the City to express interest, do its investigation into the price and investigate with the State
whether a deal can be made. He had no personal interest in the building but felt allowing it to be
purchased by a private party without investigation was short sighted and a mistake.
Jenny Anttila, Edmonds, explained during a call to the Washington State Surplus Department, it was
confirmed the City of Edmonds had not been notified via email on March 4, 2015 regarding the sale of
the Edmonds Conference Center. There was an acknowledgement that the City Council had had a lack of
notification and the date was extended to June 1, 2015. This gives the Council time to consider the
possible use and future needs. The current City Hall was purchased 16-18 years ago recognizing the
City’s growth needs. The Edmonds Conference Center could be used to accommodate future growth, as a
Packet Page 16 of 400
conference center, for group meetings, rentals, weddings, events and perhaps Rick Steves who currently
uses the building three days a year. The building is in a prime location and has not been marketed to its
full potential. She concluded some visionaries can see the future even though they won’t be here; the
ongoing community ultimately benefits.
Ken Reidy, Edmonds, referred to a temporary construction easement document in tonight’s packet.
Temporary construction easements must be granted to the City when the City has a true public need to use
another’s property. The granting of an easement also arises during the vacation of a street easement that is
not needed for public ingress/egress. For example, the City may need to maintain a utility pipe under the
easement being vacated. In these situations, the Council can pass a resolution of intent to vacate the street
easement as long as the property owner grants a different easement to the City in exchange for the street
easement being vacated. Per the code, this condition must be met within 90 days. After reviewing Agenda
Item 10, he suggested the Council consider that while the City chose to violate the code related to his
property, there is no resolution of intent to vacate as required by the code. There also is no grant
document related to what the City did to him; an illegal easement that caused him great harm for years.
He urged the Council to look at ECC 2.01.010 which states the Mayor shall see that all laws and
ordinances are faithfully enforced. The City’s code does not state that once the City has chosen to commit
an illegal act the Mayor is suddenly relieved of his duty to see that all laws and ordinances are followed.
The code is clear, it is not the citizen’s burden, it is the Mayor’s. There was no grant in his situation and
that should have been the end; instead the City acted as if it had a grant and used the illegal temporary
construction easement to attack his private property via permanent code enforcement. Council may have
been fooled before they voted on that illegal easement but have had years of opportunity to address what
took place.
Ron Wambolt, Edmonds, said one thing outweighs all the reasons in support of purchasing the Edmonds
Conference Center - the City does not have the money and evaluating the opportunity is a waste of the
Mayor’s, Councilmembers’ and staff’s time. Washington cities must provide four mandatory services,
public safety, streets, utilities and administration of those three services. The City needs additional police
resources particularly for traffic enforcement as well as a massive amount of street work and sidewalks.
The City clearly does not have sufficient funds for those two mandatory services so time should not be
wasted considering what the State classifies as discretionary services. He provided an analogy, a
homeowner who did not have the money to replace their roof would not evaluate the purchase of a
vacation home. He urged the Council to bring any study of the purchase of the Edmonds Conference
Center to an immediate conclusion and not waste time like was wasted on the Skippers property a few
years ago.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, spoke regarding the Edmonds Conference Center, relaying there are water
problems, there is no parking, expenses are greater than the income and the idea of marketing it is not
feasible because the Edmonds Center for the Arts is not fully utilized and the City loses money on it.
Next, he referred to the right-of-way discussions, expressing concern that taking property from Dairy
Queen will affect their business and few vehicles make the right turn lane from 76th Avenue to eastbound
212th. With regard to the Streetscape Plan, he referred to page 157 where it states some interest was
expressed regarding additional language and a note about views could be added in a later version. He
suggested adding language about views now. He suggested adding on page 86 view blockage and a
maximum height for trees. With regard to a note that where feasible street trees should improve the
pedestrian experience; he said blocking views was not a good experience. He also recalled a suggestion to
include pictures of the trees.
3. CONTINUED CLOSED-RECORD REVIEW OF THE HEARING EXAMINER'S
RECOMMENDATION ON PROPOSED FIELD IMPROVEMENTS AT THE FORMER
WOODWAY HIGH SCHOOL (CON’T)
Packet Page 17 of 400
Mayor Earling explained this is a continuation of the closed record hearing from April 21, 2015 in which
the City Council was tasked with considering the recommendation of the Hearing Examiner related to the
following applications of the Edmonds School District:
• PLN20140065 (design review)
• PLN20140066 (height variance for ball control fencing in the RS-8 zone)
• The portion of PLN20140067 relating to a Conditional Use Permit for bleachers and ball control
fencing height in the OS zone.
The hearing was continued from April 21, 2015 for 2 reasons, 1) the Council packet for April 21, 2015
did not contain the 10-page Hearing Examiner summary of testimony so it was determined the Council
should have an opportunity to ask questions about the summary of testimony after having had an
opportunity to review it, and 2) because it was difficult to determine in real time whether oral argument
during the hearing was properly confined to the record before the examiner or whether new evidence was
introduced, it was determined objections to the scope of argument offered on April 21, 2015 would be
allowed to be introduced on April 28, 2015. After the City Council dispenses with the very limited scope
of activity this evening, it will be able to proceed with its deliberations.
In accordance with the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine, Mayor Earling asked whether any member of
the decision-making body has engaged in any oral or written communication with opponents or
proponents of the project outside the presence of the other party.
Councilmember Nelson said he had not had any contact with any of the parties outside the presence of the
other parties.
Councilmember Johnson disclosed she received some emails and read two. Subsequently the City
Attorney told the Council to disregard them and inform him which emails they had read. She would need
to ask the IT Department to discover them because she deleted them. The comments she read were related
to the crumb rubber turf which was outside the scope of the Hearing Examiner’s decision.
Councilmember Bloom said she had not had any conversations or email communications with anyone
related to this topic.
Councilmember Petso reported she had had no contacts this week.
Councilmember Mesaros said he had not have any contacts this week.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she received a number emails and read two before the Council was told
not to read emails. The emails she read were outside the scope of the Hearing Examiner’s decision. She
deleted all other emails she received.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said she has not received anything since the last week. She submitted
to Mr. Taraday notes that were attached to the plants provided to her and Mayor Earling last week. She
did not read the notes but knew they were from interested parties.
Mayor Earling said he has had no contact with outside parties. He did not have an opportunity to read the
note attached to his plant.
To supplement the record from last week’s disclosures regarding ex-parte communications, Mr. Taraday
recalled Councilmember Petso asked that he or the City Clerk locate emails she received prior to his
instruction not to read emails. He was able to locate what he believed to be most of those, particularly
those that did not involve staff. He clarified staff was not generally considered to be opponents or
Packet Page 18 of 400
proponents of the project. He shared copies of the emails with counsel for School District at
approximately 6:15 p.m. tonight and she has had an opportunity to review them. He tried to share copies
of the emails with someone from the opposition but had not yet seen anyone here tonight. He referenced
the date and time of the emails and added hardcopies into the record:
• From Valerie Stewart to Lora Petso, March 21, 2015 at 9:30 a.m.
• From Lora Petso to Valerie Stewart, March 21, 2015 at 10:26 a.m.
• From Carrie Hite copying Mayor Earling, Renee McRae and Valarie Stewart, and blind copying
the Council, March 23, 2015 at 9:25 a.m.
• From Denise Wechsler to Lora Petso, March 24, 2015 at 11:44 a.m.
• From Lora Petso to Denise Wechsler, March 24, 2015 at 1:34 p.m.
He asked whether any substance of the communication that occurred outside the record needed to be
rebutted by parties to the proceedings, either the School District or the opponents. Kristine Wilson,
counsel for Edmonds School District, said she reviewed the communications that were disclosed at the
April 21, 2015 meeting. The District does not object to the participation of Councilmembers who may
have read the emails. The District trusts the Councilmembers’ ability to set aside irrelevant information
on matters beyond the scope of the record or issues present. The District objects to the extent the
substance is outside the record if there are findings that rely upon that information. Otherwise, the District
has no further objections to note.
Mayor Earling asked whether any member of Council had a conflict of interest and believed he/she could
not hear and consider the application in a fair and objective manner.
Council President Fraley-Monillas and Councilmembers Buckshnis, Mesaros, Petso, Bloom, Johnson and
Nelson and Mayor Earling said they had no conflicts and could hear the matter in a fair and impartial
manner.
Mayor Earling asked if any audience member objected to his or any Councilmember’s participation as a
decision-maker in the hearing. There were no objections voiced.
Mayor Earling asked whether Councilmembers had any questions as result of reading the summary of
testimony that was not included in last week’s packet.
Councilmember Bloom said she had a lot of questions, primarily regarding the Determination of Non-
Significance (DNS) which was brought up in testimony. Mr. Taraday suggested she ask the questions but
clarified the reason the hearing was continued was because the Council did not have a fair opportunity to
read and review the 10-page summary.
Councilmember Bloom said she carefully reviewed the citizen comments. One of the comments was
related to the SEPA DNS, specifically Mark Walls said the SEPA DNS should be overturned because
there is information that environmental impacts will occur and the School District misrepresented the
situation. She asked what a DNS was. Mr. Taraday explained under SEPA the agency that is doing the
SEPA review does an environmental checklist to get a sense of the scope of adverse environmental
impacts that a project might cause. A project that is likely to have significant adverse environmental
impacts gets a Determination of Significance which leads to the preparation of an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS). A project that does not appear likely to create significant adverse environmental impacts
gets a Determination of Non-Significance which more or less ends the environmental review and no EIS
follows.
Mr. Taraday explained the School District was the lead SEPA agency for this proposal and because their
SEPA analysis was done for the same proposal for which the City was processing applications, SEPA
Packet Page 19 of 400
requires the City use that environmental document unchanged. There was no mechanism for the City to
provide a SEPA appeal and no mechanism for the City to supplement the SEPA. He did not think the City
analyzed whether the SEPA needed to be supplemented because staff knew it could not be supplemented.
The entire environmental review under SEPA for this project is in the hands of the School District. The
opponents have alleged there are problems with the SEPA review that was done; to the extent that those
are legitimate problems, that will be the School District’s battle in another forum and not one the Council
can take up here tonight.
Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding of Mr. Taraday’s explanation that there was no appeal
process for the DNS by the School District. Mr. Taraday said when the City is the lead agency there is an
appeal process; the City was not the lead agency in this case. There is a significant difference between a
DNS prepared by the City and a DNS prepared by the School District from procedural standpoint.
Councilmember Bloom said she has numerous questions about the DNS. Mr. Taraday said he cannot
comment on the content of the DNS because it is outside the City’s procedure; the City did not draft the
document and the City was not able to supplement or appeal it.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether Councilmembers in this quasi-judicial hearing could say they
objected to the DNS. Mr. Taraday said no, because the City is not the SEPA lead agency. The School
District does not have an administrative appeal process; to the extent someone wants to take issue with
the SEPA analysis that was done, that is for another forum. Councilmember Bloom asked what forum,
noting she had a number of very important question related to this project. Mr. Taraday said he has not
analyzed how the DNS could be appealed. He assumed some type of judicial appeal could be brought or
could have been brought; he was uncertain whether the time period had expired. When there is not an
administrative appeal; there should at least be a judicial one.
Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding of Mr. Taraday’s explanation that the Council cannot
require SEPA evaluations be done such as regarding the wildlife preserve, traffic mitigation, air quality,
etc. in advance of any project. Mr. Taraday agreed that was what he was saying. The Council’s discretion
in analyzing this quasi-judicial matter is looking at the decision criteria that relate to the permits that are
before the Council for consideration; SEPA is not one of those.
Councilmember Bloom asked if she could still ask questions regarding air quality, traffic, parking, the
wildlife preserve, etc. because it was in the packet that she was expected to review. Mr. Taraday said
there was a lot of information in the packet and in testimony that in his opinion was not relevant to the
decision criteria that Councilmembers can consider. Councilmembers can ask questions but when the
Council deliberates, they will have tie facts in record to the decision criteria that relate to the permits that
are before the Council for consideration. For example he had not considered how air quality might relate
to any of the decision criteria that are before the Council and whether there was enough evidence in the
record to analyze that in light of the criteria; that was the type of analysis Councilmembers would need to
do.
Councilmember Petso relayed the public has claimed the SEPA was inadequate and should have been
withdrawn and cited the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) provision. She asked for confirmation
that Mr. Taraday’s legal advice was that even if City Council agreed with that claim, they could not and
should not deny the requested permits on that basis. Mr. Taraday answered that is correct. He was
uncertain how the Council would be in a position to have an opinion on that claim because they did not
have a fully developed record to allow them to have an opinion on that claim. He was not certain how
much of the SEPA materials were in the packet. His advice was for the Council to base its decision on the
code criteria that relate to the permits that are before the Council and not on any SEPA criteria or SEPA
analysis. To the implication it would be wrong for the Council to approve permits on an inadequate
Packet Page 20 of 400
SEPA, Councilmember Petso relayed her understanding that was before the Council. Mr. Taraday
reiterated the City was not the lead agency and SEPA was not within the Council’s purview.
Councilmember Petso recalled “back in the olden days” rather than the Council decision being the actual
Findings and Conclusions, occasionally the Council would make motions to clarify for the City Attorney
the Council’s intent and the City Attorney would draft Findings and Conclusions for subsequent approval.
She asked if that was what Mr. Taraday expected to occur tonight. Mr. Taraday said as the Council
deliberates and votes, he will take copious notes to get a sense of what should be in the Findings and
Conclusions. He likely will start with the Hearing Examiner’s Findings and Conclusions except to the
extent the Council directs him to do otherwise. To the extent the Council wanted him to draft findings that
differed from the Hearing Examiner’s, he requested evidence in the record and what the Finding and
Conclusion should say. He will provide Findings and Conclusions for Council review at next week’s
meeting.
Councilmember Petso recalled asking last week if it was permissible for the Council to impose conditions
related to the permits as the Architectural Design Board (ADB) and Hearing Examiner did. Mr. Taraday
answered yes, as long as they were based on evidence in record and decision criteria that are relevant to
the permits.
To the extent comments or representations are made in record such as the City will be scheduling the
playfields or the gate at 102nd will remain shut and used only for emergency access, Councilmember Petso
asked whether it was within the Council’s authority to make those conditions of permit approval as long
as there was review criteria that related to those items. Mr. Taraday said it would need to tie to the
decision criterial. He assume if there was a representation of how the project would be utilized in the
future, they were doing so because they felt it was relevant to decision criteria and the Council could
convert a representation into a condition.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if all the Council was voting on tonight was the bleachers and the
height of the fence. Mr. Taraday answered more or less, the Council was being asked to approve various
permits: a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), design review, variances and the permits related to the
bleachers and fence height.
Councilmember Buckshnis applauded Mayor Earling for allowing everyone to speak at last week’s
meeting. The Council subsequently received a letter from Ms. Wilson indicating certain individuals did
not address the bleachers and/or fencing. She asked whether Councilmembers should disregard all the
additional information that was provided regarding things that were not related to the bleachers or
fencing. Mr. Taraday said it is for each Councilmember to decide what they feel is relevant or irrelevant.
Mr. Taraday referred to written objections submitted by the School District that were included in the
Council packet. He asked whether anyone present objected to evidence outside the record introduced at
last week’s hearing other than what the School District stated in its letter. There were no objections
voiced.
Mayor Earling asked whether Councilmembers had any questions of staff or wished to have additional
oral argument on one or more of the issues or did they wish to move into deliberations.
Councilmember Petso observed the Comprehensive Plan adopted February 2014 says the community will
be involved in design development. As the Council must find this application is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, she asked staff to describe how the community has been involved in the design of
the project since February 2014. Mr. Taraday provided a partial answer, reminding the Council one of the
permits is a design review permit. He did not know whether the Comprehensive Plan language
Packet Page 21 of 400
contemplated that design review permit, but that argument could be made. Planner Mike Clugston agreed
with Mr. Taraday; he was not aware of any other meetings or design workshops since February 2014 in
the record other than the design review meeting by the ADB.
Councilmember Bloom asked how review by the ADB could be represented as community involvement.
Mr. Taraday answered it is a public process that relates to design. Councilmember Bloom pointed out that
occurred after the School District presented the design. Mr. Taraday was not certain what the
Comprehensive Plan language intended but there was a public process related to design, the meeting
before the ADB, a recommendation from the ADB to the Hearing Examiner, an open public record
hearing before the Hearing Examiner on the design review permit and then this process.
Councilmember Bloom asked if was typical to postpone the traffic mitigation study to after approval of
the project. Mr. Clugston answered it depends, in many cases when like for like features are substituted;
there are two existing fields on the site now as well as in the proposal, the engineering division commonly
considers that as like for like replacement and if there were any mitigation fees, they are assessed with the
building permit.
Councilmember Bloom commented the location does not seem appropriate due to one road in and out,
adding events but keeping the same amount of parking and with no way to monitor it. She recalled
comments in the record related to traffic flow and a determination that there would sufficient parking for
phase 1. She did not see this big of a project being located there with only one road in and out. She could
see it at Civic Field where there are many ways in and out. She asked how it was reasonable to delay the
traffic study. Mr. Clugston answered two grass fields currently exist and two fields with another surface
will exist in the future. If additional fields are added in the future, there may be a need for additional
traffic study. He acknowledged field use will probably be increased because the fields will be better but
there is more than adequate parking for the school and athletic field uses and there is a signalized
intersection at 100th.
Councilmember Bloom observed the record states scheduling will be done by Parks and the Edmonds
School District. She observed there are significant weekly musical theater performances at the school. She
asked how evening and weekend sports events will occur at the same time as musical theater events and
whether that was taken into account in the determination that 300 parking spaces was enough. Mr.
Clugston answered the 307 existing parking spaces meet the requirements. He read from page 12 of the
staff decision, using the assembly area 137 stalls would be required based on an estimate of where
spectators would most likely congregate around the fields. The addition of 102 stalls for school use equals
239 stalls, 68 less than the 307 that currently exist. He concluded there is ample parking on the site for the
proposed project.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether the City and School District envisioned sports and musical theater
events would occur at the same time. Ms. Hite reiterated her comment in the record that in working with
the School District, the City will mitigate the concerns of the neighbor, be a good neighbor and listen to
the neighbors’ concerns. The idea would be to schedule the fields during non-peak use times when the
school is using the parking lot to avoid concerns with parking and traffic. Councilmember Bloom said
Edmonds Heights has a musical theater program that has evening and weekend performances throughout
the year that fill the lot. She asked whether the intent was not to schedule concurrent events. Ms. Hite said
in discussion with the School District, the City will seek to learn about high peak uses and to schedule
around it. The City is committed to working with the school regarding scheduling use around their high
peak use times so that there is enough parking.
Council President Fraley-Monillas asked whether games are currently held on both fields. Mr. Clugston
answered the record states the fields are used now; he did not know the scope and extent of that use.
Packet Page 22 of 400
Council President Fraley-Monillas asked whether the parking is used for other events such as the Taste of
Edmonds or the Arts Festival. Mr. Clugston said that was not in the record and he did not know.
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to the staff report for design review permit PLN20140065 which
includes bleachers and lighting. She asked whether the Council is to disregard the information regarding
light poles even though it is in design review permit. Mr. Taraday answered the School District withdrew
its lighting applications. The Findings and Conclusions the Council ultimately adopts should be consistent
with the School District’s withdrawal of its lighting application. Councilmember Buckshnis said if the
Council upholds the Hearing Examiner’s decision on the design review permit, it will have remove the
lighting and poles. Mr. Taraday agreed.
Councilmember Petso observed there is currently a soccer field on the subject property in the outfield of
an existing baseball field. Her understanding was the proposal was for 2 soccer and 2 baseball fields in
phase 1. Mr. Clugston displayed a drawing from Exhibit 2 that illustrates 2 side-by-side soccer fields and
lined elements over the top of those fields for use of the same fields for softball or baseball but not for
both sports at the same time. He clarified there were two fields that could be used for baseball, soccer,
lacrosse or other purposes.
Councilmember Bloom asked if the current fields were used as regularly as they would be used in the
future. Mr. Clugston answered he did not know the intensity of the current use.
Council indicated they were prepared to move into deliberation.
Councilmember Petso recalled Mr. Taraday stated Councilmembers should indicate areas of
disagreement. She did not see the proposal as like for like, there are two soccer or baseball fields in the
proposal and there is currently one soccer field in the outfield of a baseball field. She disagreed with the
Hearing Examiner that the installation of bleachers and ball control fencing for two fields did not
represent without the lighting a significant increase in use. She viewed it as going from a single practice
field that would accommodate at most one team at a time to competition fields that could accommodate
up to four teams at the same time. Because the project is creating a change, she requested the Council
consider making the representations made to the Hearing Examiner into conditions.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, THAT
THE TRAFFIC GATE AT 102ND WILL REMAIN CLOSED TO ALL TRAFFIC EXCEPT
EMERGENCY VEHICLES.
Councilmember Petso said the basis for this condition was that it not be detrimental to the public health,
safety and welfare as well as a code provision governing CUPs, 16.80.020.E that states traffic impacts of
the proposal are to be considered. A condition that the traffic gate at 102nd remains closed to all traffic
except emergency vehicles will mitigate the traffic for the residents on 102nd.
Council President Fraley-Monillas observed the gate was currently closed and only used for emergency
access. Mr. Clugston said there was no indication in the record that it would be opened for use as part of
this project; it would remain locked for emergency use.
Councilmember Mesaros asked why this motion was needed. Mr. Clugston said that is the standard
practice now. There may be some document he was not aware of that the School District uses to gauge the
use of the gate. The gate was originally put in to keep traffic from going from the school into that
neighborhood and for emergency use.
Councilmember Petso said this condition would better assure the proposal meets the criteria of the CUP.
It also provides guidance to the School District and the City in operating the facility. If it was deemed
Packet Page 23 of 400
advisable to open the gate in the future, rather than simply unlocking it, the CUP would need to be
modified to allow the gate to be opened and that process would provide opportunity for public input.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said she could not think of a reason not to pass the motion. She asked
staff if there were any potential downfalls. Mr. Clugston answered there was nothing in the record to
indicate one way or another. There may be multiple phases of the project with additional traffic, parking
and access needs. With this phase there was no indication anything would happen with that access.
Council President Fraley-Monillas agreed that is a small downhill road in a residential area and is not
appropriate for additional traffic.
Councilmember Johnson referred to Councilmember Petso’s postulation regarding the number of practice
and playing fields. She asked whether that was in the record or her personal conclusion. Mr. Clugston
answered the information in the record is a proposal for two soccer/multiuse fields.
Council President Fraley-Monillas observed the current configuration has two fields, one above and one
below. Mr. Clugston referred to the aerial photo, identifying the phase 1 area where 2 fields are proposed
at the southwest corner of the site. More fields could be proposed in subsequent phases; the current
proposal is for two fields to replace the existing fields.
MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS VOTING NO.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
IMPOSE A CONDITION THAT NO PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEMS OR OTHER NOISE
AMPLIFICATION BE PERMITTED.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked how noise could be part of design review. Mr. Taraday advised there
are three permits before the Council. He suggested Councilmember Petso speak to which decision this
criterion relates to and whether it ties to a representation made by the School District. Councilmember
Petso said to the best of her knowledge the representation was previously made by the School District.
The review criterion is 16.80.020.D regarding noise and her concern is where there are bleachers there is
the potential for PA announcements.
Councilmember Bloom said the DNS under environmental health states related to noise, in the long term
noise levels would be consistent with existing levels. She wanted to ensure noise levels were consistent
with existing levels.
Council President Fraley-Monillas asked where this was in the Hearing Examiner decision and
subsequently found it in Item C.
To Councilmember Bloom’s desire to keep noise at the existing level, Councilmember Mesaros asked
what evidence exists regarding the existing levels. Councilmember Bloom suggested asking the School
District due to their claim in the DNS that noise levels will be consistent with current levels.
Councilmember Mesaros observed the current levels could include the use of a PA system.
Councilmember Bloom said they are not currently using PA systems. Mr. Clugston said there is no
indication in the record that PA systems are being used.
Council President Fraley-Monillas asked why Councilmember Petso wanted to further restrict noise when
the School District has agreed to have an acceptable level of noise. Councilmember Petso answered by
making it a condition, it is enforceable.

UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION CARRIED (4-3), COUNCILMEMBERS BLOOM, JOHNSON,
NELSON AND PETSO VOTING YES; AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-MONILLAS AND
COUNCILMEMBERS BUCKSHNIS AND MESAROS VOTING NO.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
INCLUDE A CONDITION THAT PLAYFIELD LIGHTS ARE NOT PERMITTED PER THE
HEARING EXAMINER’S DECISION, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT’S WITHDRAW OF THE
REQUEST FOR LIGHTS AND SECTION 16.80.020.A AND B. MOTION CARRIED (6-1)
COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON VOTING NO.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO MODIFY HEARING EXAMINER CONDITION #1 WHICH ALLOWS BALL
CONTROL FENCING TO A MAXIMUM OF 30 FEET PER SOME DIAGRAM; MODIFY TO
ALLOW BALL CONTROL FENCING AND NETTING TO A MAXIMUM OF 30 FEET WITH
FENCING AND NETTING THE MINIMUM NECESSARY FOR SAFETY. REFERENCE
16.80.020.A AND VARIANCE CRITERIA THAT STATES THE GRANT OF A VARIANCE MUST
BE THE MINIMUM NECESSARY.
Councilmember Mesaros asked the impact of the motion on the proposal. Mr. Clugston was unsure what
the difference would be as the motion would allow ball control fencing to be a maximum of 30 feet high
as indicated on the two plan sheets in the Hearing Examiner’s condition. Councilmember Petso explained
to be consistent with the variance criteria, she wanted the fencing to be the minimum necessary for safety.
Field fencing varies greatly, all fields will have significant fencing and netting behind home plate on
baseball field but some fields will have a lower outfield fence or netting. Because the Council was
allowed to consider aesthetics of the project under the review criteria and because the variance can be
required to be the minimum, she hoped the fencing will not be 30 feet high all the way around and by
making this modification to the criteria, it will encourage the fencing not to be 30 feet high all the way
around unless it is absolutely necessary for safety.
Councilmember Mesaros asked what areas are identified in the schematic for 30-foot fencing. Mr.
Clugston answered roughly the area around the back stop would have higher fencing; the lower fencing,
varies from 8 to 16 feet around the rest of the site. Sheets F2.5 and F2.6 of Attachment 3 do not show 30-
foot fencing all around. Approving the Hearing Examiner’s condition as written locks in the fence heights
shown on those sheets.
Councilmember Mesaros observed if the School District found they could save money with lower fences,
they would not be restricted to that height, they just could not go higher. Mr. Clugston agreed.
Councilmember Bloom referred to language that states the Woodway project is intended to create adult
soccer and multiuse turf fields for year-round recreation options. She asked whether adult sports require
higher fences. Mr. Clugston said he was not able to answer that and was unsure it was in the record. He
referred to Attachment 17, a letter from the School District about fence heights, that states there is no
standard for fence heights but the heights indicated are the usual heights. Councilmember Bloom
expressed support for the motion, pointing out Council Chambers are approximately 20 feet tall. Mayor
Earling advised that information was not in the record.
Given her stated intent to have improved aesthetics, minimize fencing and netting, and grant the
minimum variance necessary for safety, Councilmember Petso asked whether the Hearing Examiner’s
condition as written would do that better than her proposed modification. Mr. Clugston said the ADB
reviewed the fencing height and found it acceptable. The Hearing Examiner likewise approved the
fencing design. Councilmember Petso said she did not see any informative discussion in the record by
either. She asked in his opinion which would produce the minimum variance and the preferred aesthetics.
Mr. Clugston said that was not in record; it was for the Council to determine.
Packet Page 25 of 400
Councilmember Nelson asked the purpose of the fencing. Mr. Clugston referred to Attachment 17 which
indicates the purpose is safety. Councilmember Nelson expressed support for the maximum fencing and
netting necessary for safety to avoid being hit by an errant ball.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION FAILED (3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS BLOOM AND PETSO AND
COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-MONILLAS VOTING YES; AND COUNCILMEMBER
BUCKSHNIS, JOHNSON, MESAROS AND NELSON VOTING NO.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
MODIFY CONDITION 2 OR ADD A NEW CONDITION TO SAY THAT FIELD USE SHALL BE
SCHEDULED BY THE CITY OF EDMONDS. REFERENCE 16.80.020.D AND E AND THE
MATERIALS IN THE PACKET DATED MARCH 5, 2015 FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
STATING THE FIELDS WOULD BE SCHEDULED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
Council President Fraley-Monillas did not support the motion, noting the School District will also use the
fields and they should not be required to contact the City to use the fields for recess. She was confident
the City and the School District could work together to schedule the fields.
Councilmember Petso said the representation was made by the School District that the fields would be
scheduled by the City. She found that a superior protection for citizens because that’s the way other fields
and parks are scheduled. If the City schedules the fields, neighbors will speak with staff who represents
City of Edmonds voters; the School District and Verdant represent residents of Edmonds, Mountlake
Terrace, Woodway, and other cities. This condition will better meet the requirement in 16.80.020D and E.
With the one exception she identified, the record states the School District agreed to let the City schedule
the fields.
Councilmember Johnson pointed out Condition 2, fields shall not be scheduled for non-school activities
during regular school hours.
Councilmember Bloom relayed concern that the musical theater performances do not occur during regular
school hours; they occur on weekends and evenings. She questions how there would be no overlap if the
City scheduled the fields without the participation of the School District. Councilmember Petso said she
will address that in a subsequent proposed condition.
Councilmember Mesaros said the Council should not restrict the management of an asset. The Council’s
job is to set policy and allow the people who understand recreation to deal with the management of the
property. He noted all the School District would need to do is say they wanted certain blocks of time for
programs and they could then schedule them as them wished. Whether this condition exists or not, that
conversation was likely to occur.
Councilmember Bloom asked if there was anything in the record about how scheduling will be
coordinated by the City and the School District. Mr. Clugston referred to page 11 of the staff report to the
Hearing Examiner (Exhibit 1) which includes the hours of operation under the CUP criteria and states the
City of Edmonds Parks & Recreation will be responsible for scheduling use of the playing fields for non-
school activities and that the fields will not be used for non-school activities during the school day. A
condition to this affect is proposed. Councilmember Bloom observed there was nothing about the use by
school for performances. Mr. Clugston responded although there was discussion regarding performances,
he did not think there was anything in the record that quantified it.
Councilmember Petso said the intent is to memorialize what had already been agreed to, that the City will
schedule the fields.

MOTION FAILED (2-5), COUNCILMEMBERS PETSO AND BLOOM VOTING YES.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
RETAIN HEARING EXAMINER CONDITIONS 3 AND 4.
Councilmember Petso said Condition 3 is applicant will give serious consideration to location of double
gate to avoid need to relocate it and Condition 4 is applicant will obtain all necessary permits.
Councilmember Mesaros asked why this was necessary if the conditions were in the Hearing Examiner’s
decision. Councilmember Petso said #3 was added during design review and retained by the Hearing
Examiner and #4 was added by the Hearing Examiner and she did not see a need to change it.
MOTION FAILED (2-4-1), COUNCILMEMBERS BLOOM AND PETSO VOTING YES AND
COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON ABSTAINING.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM TO
RETAIN HEARING EXAMINER CONDITION #5, THE PERMIT IS PERSONAL TO THE
EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT AND NOT TRANSFERABLE.
Councilmember Mesaros asked why this was necessary when it was already in the record. Mr. Taraday
said he will bring back Finding and Conclusions next week for Council’s final action that effectively
mirror the relevant parts of the Hearing Examiner except where the Council instructs him otherwise. He
did not interpret the last vote that he should not include Conditions 3 and 4 but that there was question
why the motion was being made. Unless a motion is approved to delete conditions 3 and 4, he will
include those in the Findings and Conclusions.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO WITHDREW THE MOTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OF THE
SECONDER.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY BLOOM, TO ADD A CONDITION
THAT FIELDS MUST BE SCHEDULED TO CONCLUDE REGULAR PLAY BY 8:30 P.M. USE
IS NOT PERMITTED AFTER 9 P.M.
Councilmember Petso explained the purpose of the motion was to modify the Hearing Examiner
condition that pertained to lighting, that lights would be turned off at 10:15 p.m. Since the School District
withdrew the permit for lighting, a condition should be included pertaining to the hours of operation and
the noise standard. The relevant criteria is 16.80.020.D.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said without lighting during the winter, play would be concluded by
5:00 p.m. During the summer, it would be logical to use the fields for soccer and baseball games in
evening through dusk. She was uncertain why 8:30 p.m. was selected.
Councilmember Petso said the criteria for decision includes among other things hours of use, noise and
traffic. To ensure those standards are met as well as not detrimental to public health, safety and welfare,
field scheduling that contemplates play would end at 8:30 p.m. and terminates field use at 9:00 p.m.
would allow for noise for nearby residents to terminate at a reasonable hour.
Council President Fraley-Monillas referred to comments that the parking lot is fully utilized during
musical theater performances and asked if those uses would also need to be concluded by 8:30 p.m. She
assumed they extended beyond 8:30 p.m. Councilmember Petso said that was not in the record.
Packet Page 27 of 400
Councilmember Buckshnis asked whether the noise ordinance allowed residents to complain about noise
after 10 p.m. Mr. Taraday said he was not intimately familiar with the noise ordinance but believed these
fields were exempt. Mr. Clugston referred to ECC Chapter 5.30 that states sounds originating from
officially sanctioned parades and other events to which the general public is solicited to attend without
charge and sounds originating from league or school sponsored athletic events are exempt from the
provisions of the noise abatement chapter at all times.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked if that meant field users could be as noisy as they wanted at midnight.
Mr. Clugston answered yes. Councilmember Buckshnis expressed concern with arbitrarily selecting 9
p.m.
Councilmember Bloom said the motion makes perfect sense to her based on Councilmember Petso’s
description because it allows time for overtime and emptying the parking lot. She did not want to put
residents in the surrounding area in the position of complaining.
Councilmember Mesaros said this is another example of the Council interfering with the professionalism
of the recreation leadership at the School District and the City who he was sure did not want to run
recreation programs that made the neighbors angry. He observed it was for a short time of the year
because there are no lights on the fields. The very professional staff understands recreation much better
than the Council.
Councilmember Johnson observed this is an area where personal knowledge is being substituted for what
is in record. She did not see anything in the record about the termination time and did not support the
Council making a judgment on that. Councilmember Petso referred to page 11 of 21 of the staff report
and the Hearing Examiner’s decision that addresses noise. It is an issue before the Council and scheduled
field play is completely exempt from the noise ordinance.
Council President Fraley-Monillas commented it was interesting there was no time limit on scheduled
field play on any other fields in Edmonds; that may be something the Council wants to look at. She found
8:30 p.m. too restrictive and preferred 10:00 p.m.
Councilmember Petso said the neighbors, particularly those with small children, would prefer 8:30 p.m.
MOTION FAILED (2-5), COUNCILMEMBERS BLOOM AND PETSO VOTING YES.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PETSO, THAT PLAY ON THE FIELDS CONCLUDE BY 10 P.M. MOTION CARRIED (5-2),
COUNCILMEMBERS BUCKSHNIS AND BLOOM VOTING NO.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
ENSURE ADEQUATE ONSITE PARKING, FIELDS WILL NOT SCHEDULED FOR USE
DURING OTHER AREA EVENTS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SCHOOL
PERFORMANCES OR SWIM MEETS. CONDITION IS APPROPRIATE UNDER 16.80.020.E.
Councilmember Petso said there is evidence in the record that the School District sometimes uses the
facility for performances which fill the parking lot. There is also evidence in the record that Klahaya
occasionally holds swim meets in the area that cause parking issues.
Councilmember Mesaros said scheduling of activities needs to be in the hands of professionals who have
access to all calendars. If Klahaya is included, there may be other activities such as in Hickman Park or
other sites. He summarized the Council is getting into the details of the management of an asset.
Packet Page 28 of 400
Council President Fraley-Monillas suggested that be addressed by the School District and the City. There
is the potential for one field to be used by an adult soccer team which does not have the same number of
spectators compared to a little league game and activities at the school may vary in size. She suggested
this was something the School District and the City would work out.
Councilmember Bloom reiterated there is one road in and out and what that means for parking and traffic.
Councilmember Petso’s amendment is intended to address that. She anticipated this will be nightmare of
coordination. She suggested not including Klahaya and Hickman Park.
Councilmember Petso commented this is not so much a function of “willy-nilly what do we like and what
do we not like,” the City is required to evaluate the ability of the proposal to provide adequate onsite
parking. In her evaluation, it cannot provide adequate onsite parking in the event the lot is full for a show
at the same time a game is scheduled on the field.
MOTION FAILED (2-5), COUNCILMEMBERS BLOOM AND PETSO VOTING YES.
Mayor Earling asked if Mr. Taraday was interested in a motion for final passage. Mr. Taraday said that
was not necessary; his intent with or without an ultimate vote would be to bring back Findings and
Conclusions for Council adoption that reflect the motions that were made and adopted and unless
expressly directed otherwise by the Council or unless inconsistent with the School District’s withdrawal
of lighting, he will more or less use the Hearing Examiner decision recommending approval as a starting
point.
Mayor Earling asked if that would be ready in a week. Mr. Taraday answered he will be at a conference
Wednesday through Friday but he will try. Mayor Earling advised final action will be scheduled next
week.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess and asked staff to indicate what agenda items could be delayed.
Upon reconvening the meeting, Mayor Earling advised Item 7, 8 and 16 will be postponed to a future
meeting.
7. DRAFT STREETSCAPE/STREET TREES ELEMENT FOR 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
UPDATE
This item was postponed to a future meeting.
8. PROGRESS UPDATE ON DEVELOPMENT AND CRITICAL AREA CODES
This item was postponed to a future meeting.
9. REVENUE BOND FINANCING PRESENTATION
Finance Director Scott James advised the last time this was presented to Council, staff recommended a
bond issuance of $14million. There was a discussion about increasing that to include 2017 needs. There
was also discussion regarding a 20 year term or other length. He sought Council direction regarding the
amount and the term. He advised Scott Bauer A. Dashen and Associates and Alice Ostdiek, Foster
Pepper, were present to answer questions.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented rates eventually go up. She preferred to bundle the two, noting
bond counsel is also expensive. She also preferred a 25 year term, with the larger amount, the longer term
was appropriate. With a lower payment, funds can be utilized in other ways.
Packet Page 29 of 400
Councilmember Mesaros asked if there was an early payoff penalty. Scott Bauer, A. Dashen and
Associates, said these bonds, like other bond issuances, will have a 10 year call; the bonds can be
refinanced after 10 years without penalty.
Councilmember Petso recalled the bonds were initially going to be bundled for the cost savings then it
was decided to recommend unbundling due to uncertainty about the second bond issuance. Public Works
Director Phil Williams said that has not changed; the spreadsheet would suggest a $3.5 million bond issue
in 3 years but it was difficult to predict the size of the bond issue that would be needed. The
recommendation was $14 million for 20 years; if the Council prefers, it could be $17.5 million and
certainly the utilities would use that money in productive ways to replace infrastructure.
Councilmember Mesaros agreed with Councilmember Buckshnis; interest rates are at historic lows, the
future was unknown and interest rates certainly would not get lower. He preferred to use this opportunity
to maximize the potential to use the City’s resources at the best economic time.
If the City found in next 6 months a desire to bond an additional couple million for a special purpose,
Councilmember Johnson asked if that should be done now, increasing the amount by $2 million. Mr.
James said this is a revenue bond specifically for utilities. The other bond Councilmember Johnson was
referring to would be a general obligation bond and they cannot be mixed.
Councilmember Petso asked what other bond the City was considering. Mr. James said the City has a
grant request at the State to purchase property and may need to issue debt for the purchase.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule this on next week’s Consent Agenda as recommended by
Councilmember Buckshnis and Mesaros.
10. PRESENTATION OF EASEMENT DOCUMENTS FROM THE 7500 BUILDING & DAIRY
QUEEN FOR THE 76TH AVE/212TH STREET INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
City Planner Rob English said the City has reached agreements with two property owners for right of way
and easements necessary for the 76th Ave and 212th Street Intersection Improvements project:
1. The owners of the 7500 Building have agreed to 272 square feet of right of way acquisition and
739 square feet of temporary construction easement during construction of the 76th Ave and
212th Street Intersection Improvements. The total compensation provided to the property owner
is $13,500.
2. The owners of Dairy Queen have agreed to 1,635 square feet of right of way acquisition and
1,261 square feet of temporary construction easement during construction of the 76th Ave and
212th Street Intersection Improvements. The total compensation provided to the property owner
is $55,000. The original offer was $42,500 with a temporary construction easement of $3,300.
Via negotiations via Universal Field Service and the property owner hiring an appraisal, the
amount was increased to $55,000. Funds were also paid at the time of remodel to facilitate
moving a door, drive-through and landscaping that would have been incurred during construction.
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to the comment during Audience Comment that there would be
adverse impacts to Dairy Queen. Mr. Williams said the City worked extremely well with the owners; the
design was adjusted to help them and they were happy with the settlement.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule this on next week’s Consent Agenda.
Packet Page 30 of 400
11. PROPOSED ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION BY NEGOTIATION OR
CONDEMNATION OF REAL PROPERTY INTERESTS FOR THE 76TH AVE/212TH STREET
INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
City Engineer Rob English reported right of way is needed from eight property owners to construct the
76th Ave and 212th Street Intersection Improvements. As described in the previous agenda item,
agreement has been reached with 2 parcels, the 7500 building and Dairy Queen on the southeast corner.
The City’s right-of-way consult continues to work with the owners of the remaining six parcels. The
proposed ordinance is required prior to initiating condemnation. Negotiations in good faith will continue
with property owners as well as the School District. The property owners on the northwest and northeast
corners are very similar in ownership. The School District is securing an appraisal. The ordinance
requires a public hearing which is scheduled next week.
Councilmember Petso asked whether an offer has been made to the property owners and declined and
they understand staff is seeking authorization to initiate condemnation. Mr. English said the owners
understand there is a need for the project; offers have been made, property owners are questioning the
values the City’s appraiser presented and are doing their own due diligence to determine the value. He
assured negotiations are continuing. Mr. Williams said although property owners have not declined the
City’s offer, they also have not agreed. This is an effort to control the schedule, upon approval of the
ordinance, negotiations will continue in good faith. If that does not result in a deal, the project is not
delayed while the ordinance is adopted. He recalled this approach was taken on the 228th and Five
Corners projects. He assured it is not a hostile action but a way to control the project schedule.
Mr. English advised the RCW requires property owners be notified; written notification has been
provided and the City’s right-of-way consultant has talked with them.
Councilmember Petso recalled she previously asked for the project design and was told the design was
not complete. Mr. English said the design is currently at 60-70%.
Councilmember Bloom observed the School District was one of parties the City may initiate
condemnation against. Mr. English explained the Council is considering approval of the ordinance, which
does not mean condemnation action will be initiated against the three parcels. It gives staff authorization
to possibly pursue that in the future depending on negotiations. Councilmember Bloom asked if there was
reason to believe this could not be resolved in timely manner. Mr. Williams responded property
acquisition is difficult to predict. The City is working well with the School District including options to
solve their queuing problems; the School District is getting an appraisal. That is moving in a positive
direction and he did not anticipate the parties would not be able to agree. The other two parcels, Burger
King and Grease Monkey, are privately owned and may have a different pace. The right-of-way
consultant has worked with them and although he did not anticipate a problem, the ordinance allows a
legal process. The ordinance requires every effort be made to reach a settlement.
Councilmember Mesaros referred to the map, observing the gray areas around the corners were what the
City would be acquiring. Mr. Williams answered yes. Councilmember Mesaros asked whether the lines
were the existing structures. For example on the School District property on the southwest corner, is he
asked whether the solid black line was an existing wall. Mr. English advised that is the new curb radius
and two pedestrian ramps. Councilmember Mesaros observed not much area was lost. Mr. Williams said
most of the discussions with School District have not been about the corner, they acknowledge that is
necessary for project, discussions have been about the queuing issue on 76th and what might be necessary
there. The School District is obtaining an appraisal but they agree the City needs to acquire that land for
the project. The hatched area on the map inside the solid gray area is the temporary construction
easement.
Packet Page 31 of 400
Councilmember Petso said it was her impression the City could not do condemnation against a public
agency. Mr. Taraday answered there are instances it could be done, it depends on whether it becomes a
battle of uses or if it is surplus property. Councilmember Petso said it was safe to assume Edmonds-
Woodway High School was not surplus and suggest the City figure that out before the Council authorizes
condemnation against the School District. Mr. Taraday assured he will work closely with staff on that
issue before anything is filed.
Mr. English said the City received an approximately $4 million grant for this project through PSRC. The
spending requirements are such that the grant needs to obligated in a timely fashion in accordance with a
deadline. If that schedule is not met, there is potential to lose nearly $4 million in grant funds for the
project.
It was the consensus for the Council to schedule a public hearing next week.
12. PRESENTATION OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TETRA TECH FOR
THE LIFT STATION #1 BASIN AND FLOW STUDY
City Engineer Rob English explained this project is in the CIP for 2015, a study of Lift Station 1 located
on Sunset Avenue south of Caspers. This large station serves nearly 25% of City’s service area. The City
hired Tetra Tech to analyze the existing drainage area and identify potential locations where some of the
upstream flows can be diverted to different service areas in the City’s sewer system to relieve flow
volumes. The scope of work is included in the packet. The fee estimate is $173,000; $100,000 was
budgeted in 2015. The $100,000 will be adequate for this year and additional funds will be included in the
2016 budget from the sewer main replacement program.
Mr. Williams explained this lift station is underground. With regard to the interest in reducing flows, he
explained there is a very shallow wet well, limited storage capacity, and flows rise rapidly in a rainstorm
or snow melt and the station has comes close a few times to exceeding the capacity. Some improvements
have been made in the past six months to a year to improve reliability such as alternative power but it
would be good to reduce flows during peak storm events to improve reaction time.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked why this analysis was necessary when improvements were made 13
years ago. Williams answered neither he nor Mr. English were employed by the City when that project
was done but he assumed the net result was a compromise. There is nothing wrong with the current
design but he would like to move some of the flow to avoid problems because the obvious relief valve is
Puget Sound.
Councilmember Petso asked whether smoke testing would be done in an effort to identify residents whose
storm drains are inappropriately connected to the sewer system. Mr. Williams answered that is not the
direction of this project. The intent is to identify an area in the collection system where a line could be
connected to a gravity pipe that goes to the treatment plant, bypassing Lift Station 1. The study will
identify the benefits and costs. Identifying storm drains that are connected to the sewer system is a very
costly endeavor and most agencies have not been satisfied with the results of that process.
Councilmember Bloom asked about the location of Lift Station 1. Mr. Williams said it is below grade on
the west side of Sunset where the yellow hatch marks are in street between Caspers and Edmonds. The lift
station was rebuilt 10-13 years ago. Councilmember Bloom asked whether the station was located in the
City right-of-way. Mr. Williams answered some of it is on City property and some in on railroad property
for which the City has an easement.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule this on next week’s Consent Agenda.

13. PRESENTATION FOR AWARD OF THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE 2015
SANITARY SEWER REPLACEMENT PROJECT
City Engineer Rob English distributes a map with the location of the 2015 sewer line replacement project.
He advised bids were opened on Thursday. The engineer’s estimate is $1.4 million; the construction
budget is $1.7 million. If the bids come in within budget and reference checks on the low bidder are
satisfactory, the project will be presented to Council for award of bid at the May 5 Council meeting.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule this on next week’s Consent Agenda.
14. PUBLIC WORKS QUARTERLY PROJECT REPORT
City Engineer Rob English advised the packet contains the 1st quarter 2015 report. He asked for Council
questions.
Councilmember Petso asked Mr. English to clarify the rain garden question she asked previously. She
recalled there was a drainage project in South Edmonds that included rain gardens but because of the
public outcry, staff abandoned the rain gardens. This report again shows rain gardens and she asked if
they were in a different location. Mr. Williams yes, explaining the original project was to address ponding
and flooding on 238th. Because there is no storm drain system in 238th the intent was to install a collection
system that took drainage toward Hickman Park where there a fairly robust infiltration system was
installed with the Park. The original plan was to include a rain garden on 104th near the cemetery. After
concern was expressed at a public meeting about pedestrians walking on the west side of 104th and the
loss of parking, that concept was abandoned.
Mr. Williams explained the City then received a Safe Routes to School grant for a sidewalk on 238th and
the project was postponed for 18 months to design the sidewalk and drainage improvements. That is the
project that will be built this year. When the work was done at Hickman Park’s infiltration system it was
apparent at least a couple acres of impervious surface in that basin were not accounted for in the design
which made it imperative the impervious surface from 238th be offset with some infiltration. That is the
reason for rain gardens on 238th at a number of key corners and at the end. The project designer, KPG,
and the project manager, Ryan Haug, have done a good job working with the property owners on 238th to
ensure they understand what the rain gardens will look like. So far there has been a lot of enthusiasm for
the rain gardens. There will still be parking on the south side between the rain gardens.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked whether anyone has expressed interest in the residential neighborhood
traffic calming. Mr. English advised as a result of an announcement earlier this year requesting traffic
calming projects, the City received eight new citizen requests. There are now 17 projects under
consideration. Councilmember Buckshnis asked how they will be prioritized. Mr. English answered
criteria are used to evaluate and score each request. Staff is beginning speed counts to determine the 85th
percentile speeds and the ADTs which is one of the criteria.
Councilmember Buckshnis observed the SR104 study is 70% complete; she asked whether it will be done
by June. Mr. English answered yes.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether any traffic calming requests were eliminated because they did not
meet the criteria. Mr. Williams answered the initial list that began in 2009 included some non-local streets
that scored very highly and would be good candidates for traffic calming. In keeping with a strict reading
of the Transportation Plan, those projects would not be eligible for funding. When the Council reviews
the Transportation Plan, there will be a suggestion to make some non-local streets eligible for traffic
calming. Councilmember Bloom asked what was defined as a non-local street. Mr. Williams answered a
collector or arterial street.

It was the consensus of the Council to schedule this on next week’s Consent Agenda.
15. DISCUSSION ON THE PROJECT FUNDING AND AWARD OF THE 228TH ST. SW CORRIDOR
IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
City Engineer Rob English distributed a new budget sheet for the 228th Corridor Improvement Project.
Staff provided the Council an update on the project in March. This is actually two projects that were bid
together, the 228th Corridor Improvements that will construct the missing section of 228th between Hwy
99 and 76th as well as add signals at the intersections of Hwy 99 & 228th and 76th & 228th. Other
improvements include bike lanes and safety modifications. The City received federal and state grants for
that project. The second project is the Hwy 99 Lighting Phase 3 that will install 19 street lights for
vehicles and pedestrians. The City received 5 bids on March 26; the low bidder was Doherty Construction
with a bid of $5.2 million. He reviewed the cost breakout in the bid:

Total $5,859,300 $620,870 $6,480,170
Staff’s recommendation is to award the project at the May 5 Council meeting.
If the management reserve was not necessary, Councilmember Mesaros asked whether it will be returned
to the REET fund. Mr. English answered yes.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule this on next week’s Consent Agenda.
16. DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL INTEREST IN ACQUIRING THE EDMONDS CONFERENCE
CENTER
This item was postponed to a future meeting.
17. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling announced PSRC’s Annual meeting at the Seattle Convention Center on Thursday at
11:30 a.m.
Packet Page 34 of 400
Mayor Earling reported the Sound Transit Board approved the final alignment of the Lynnwood Link; it
will include provisional stations at 220th, the Lynnwood station and the county line.
18. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Student Representative Eslami expressed interest in the outcome of the Woodway fields.
Councilmember Johnson announced the second Marina Beach Master Plan meeting on May 6 from 6:00 –
7:30 p.m. in the Edmonds Plaza Room.
Councilmember Bloom reiterated her request that Council President Fraley-Monillas schedule a
discussion of the committee format on the agenda as soon as possible. She noted the entire last part of
tonight’s meeting with the exception of the bond financing presentation was related to Public Works and
could have been expedited in committee. An inordinate of staff time is spent presenting to Council when
the items could have been present in committee meetings. She urgently requested Council President
Fraley-Monillas schedule a discussion soon as possible.
Councilmember Mesaros agreed with Councilmember Bloom’s suggestion. He found committees a much
more efficient way to review items and make recommendations. Tonight was a good example of how
committees could have expedited a number of agenda items.
Councilmember Buckshnis reported the WRIA 8 meeting held at the Department at DOE included a tour.
WRIA 8 reviewed its budget and 3-year work plan and heard about a great success story, NOAA’s green
infrastructure and shoreline restoration at the Sand Point campus.
Council President Fraley-Monillas relayed a discussion of committees is on the extended agenda.
With regard to committees, Mayor Earling said experience has shown items are often discussed at a
committee and then again at Council. While there are inefficiencies in the study session format, there are
also inefficiencies in the committee structure.

Subject Title
Authorization for Mayor to sign a Professional Services Agreement with Tetra Tech for the Lift Station
#1 Basin and Flow Study
Recommendation
Authorize Mayor to sign the Professional Services Agreement.
Previous Council Action
On April 28, 2015, Council reviewed this item and forwarded it the May 5, 2015 consent agenda.
Narrative
Lift Station #1 is the City’s largest sewer lift station and serves over 25% of the City’s sewer service area.
The lift station was originally built in 1957 and was upgraded in 2002. The lift station is located in City
right of way, north of the Edmonds ferry terminal. Effluent from the lift station is pumped to a gravity
sewer main that flows to Edmonds’ Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Tetra Tech will provide a basin analysis and flow study of Lift station #1. The analysis will determine:
If load/flows directed to the lift station can be reduced;
If an increase in wet well storage is possible;
If modifications to the existing Sanitary Sewer overflow and associated tie in to the storm system
pipe basin are needed, including assessing the outfall in Puget Sound;
The viability/location of a scalping lift station;
The benefit/possibility of installing/replacing sewer mains so that a larger portion of this basin
drains by gravity directly to the treatment plant;
Schematic level design and construction costs for each alternative.
Statements of qualification's (SOQ) were received from five firms in response to the RFQ. Based on a
review of the SOQ's and comparison to the selection criteria, Tetra Tech was selected as the preferred
consultant based on their qualifications and experience.
Attached is the proposed professional services agreement with Tetra Tech to complete the study. The
negotiated fee is $173,702. The 2015 Sewer Utility budget includes $100,000 to begin work on
the study and additional funds will be programmed from the annual sewer main replacement program in
2016 to complete the study.

Scope of Work
Exhibit A
City of Edmonds
Lift Station #1 Basin and Flow Study
SCOPE OF WORK
Project Overview
Lift Station #1 is the largest sewage pump station operated by the City of Edmonds, and it serves
approximately one third of the City. The City’s 2013 Sewer Plan indicates that LS#1 barely has enough
pumping capacity to prevent raw sewage overflows to Puget Sound. It has a duty pump and a standby
pump, each rated at 2 mgd, and both pumps must run to prevent overflows during peak wet weather
events. This is contrary to Department of Ecology guidelines which require the pump station to have
sufficient capacity without using the standby pump. This capacity deficiency is expected to get worse in
the future if flows increase as estimated in the 2013 Sewer Plan. This Scope of Work prepares a study of
the LS#1 basin to determine how to manage peak flows to avoid wastewater overflows into Puget Sound.
The City wants the study to analyze the following improvement options:
Identify opportunities to reduce flows to LS #1
Redirect flows away from LS #1
Provide possible storage to manage peak flows
Upgrade LS#1 to handle peak flows
Identify viability/location for a scalping station
The tasks and associated subtasks are as follows:
Task 1 - Project Management
Task 1 includes the effort required to manage the project. This task includes monitoring budgets,
preparing and reviewing invoices, attending kick-off and progress meetings, preparing a work plan, and
quality assurance review of deliverables.
Kick Off Meeting. Conduct a two hour kick off meeting with city staff and key consultant
team members to discuss project approach, schedule, and anticipated deliverables.
Work Plan. The Consultant will prepare a Work Plan defining staff and subconsultant
responsibilities and schedules. The Work Plan will be used as a template to identify project
scope, individual work elements, responsible individuals for each work element, manpower
required, and schedule requirements incorporating internal and external milestones.
Progress Meetings. Progress meetings will be held periodically to coordinate work activities
and keep the City informed of progress to date. Meetings are anticipated to be approximately
every three to four weeks; however, meetings may be held more or less frequently, depending
on the project requirements at the time. Meetings may also be held via conference call. The
Consultant will prepare agendas and meeting minutes for distribution to the project team.
Meetings specific to a particular task will be included under the specific task described below.
Packet Page 186 of 400
SCOPE OF WORK – LIFT STATION #1 BASIN & FLOW STUDY
4/29/2015 2 Exhibit A
Scope of Work
Progress Reports and Invoicing. Prepare a monthly written progress report and submit to the
City with each monthly invoice to document the work effort during the billing period.
Quality Control Reviews. The project manager will assign reviewers independent of the project
team to review all task memos, reports, and other significant work products before final
issuance to the City. Comments will be incorporated into the documents or will be documented
as to why comments are not included. Below is a list of documents anticipated for quality
control review prior to final issuance to the City.
o Flow Analysis Technical Memorandum
o Draft Predesign Report
o Final Predesign Report
Assumptions:
1. Assumes 12 months to complete the study.
2. Assumes up to 5 progress/management meetings will be held with the city.
3. The Work Plan will be for the Predesign Phase only.
Task 1 Deliverables:
1. Kick-off meeting agenda and meeting minutes.
2. Work Plan - one hard copy and one electronic copy.
3. Up to 12 monthly progress reports with the invoices.
4. Meeting minutes for up to 5 Progress/Management meetings.
Task 2 – Background Information
Review Background Information. A thorough review of previous work is critical to the initiation
of this planning effort. It provides the framework necessary to understand existing conditions in
order to develop possible alternatives. The consultant will review historical reports and
correspondence, operating records, electronic copies of topographic maps and aerial photographs,
as-built drawings and data, including all pertinent city GIS files to understand the conveyance
system in the LS #1 drainage basin. Included in this effort is a four hour field visit of Lift Stations
#1, #2, and #3.
Assumptions:
1. City to provide records for review.
2. City staff to provide access for 4 hour site visit of City lift stations.
Task 3 – Flow Analysis & Modeling
Review Existing Data. Review existing sewer system information including lift station as-builts,
flow monitoring data from the lift station and available information relating to system flooding
events to assist in evaluation of the existing XP-SWMM model.
Survey of Overflow Weirs. The City will assist the Consultant in measuring depths of overflow
weirs at Lift Station #1 and at other overflow locations identified by the City.
Packet Page 187 of 400
SCOPE OF WORK – LIFT STATION #1 BASIN & FLOW STUDY
4/29/2015 3 Exhibit A
Scope of Work
Lift Station #1 Draw Down Test. The City will assist the Consultant in conducting a draw down
test in Lift Station #1 to supplement existing flow information.
Review XP-SWMM Model. The Consultant will review the City’s existing sewer system model
for the LS #1 basin and the data used to calibrate it, including the future flow estimates from the
2013 Sewer Plan. The Consultant will provide a brief memorandum summarizing the model
adequacy for application for this project in determining peak wet weather flows and future design
flows in the basin. The memo will be submitted to the City prior to meeting with the City to
discuss the flow model.
Flow Meeting. The Consultant will attend one 2-hour meeting with City staff to discuss its review
of the model. Where flow information is lacking, the consultant will work with the city to assess
risk and determine to what level of contingency should be built into the flow model.
Update Model. The Consultant will incorporate significant changes in overflow weir elevations
and future flow estimates determined from the meeting with the City.
Flow Analysis Technical Memorandum. The Consultant will provide a technical memorandum
that documents the modeling effort and the flows that will be used in the LS #1 basin study. The
Flow Analysis Technical Memorandum will be included in the Draft and Final Predesign Report.
The report will document results of the pump draw down test and it will also identify where
additional flow monitoring may be appropriate to improve model accuracy in designing the
recommended alternative.
Assumptions:
1. Scope of Work does not include supplemental flow monitoring. Flow monitoring can be
added by amendment and conducted in the future, in the 2015-2016 or 2016-2017 wet season,
if needed to confirm design flows for the recommended project.
2. Population and land use projections will be based on those shown in the City’s most recent
Comprehensive Plan.
3. Recalibration of the model is not included, because little additional flow data is available
since the model was calibrated in 2013. Model recalibration can be added by amendment in
the future if additional data is collected to confirm design flows.
Task 3 Deliverables:
1. Model Review Memorandum.
2. Flow Analysis Technical Memorandum
3. Updated XP-SWMM Model.
Task 4 - Survey
Mobile GIS Data Collection. Consultant will use recently purchased mobile GIS mapping
equipment to locate manholes covers and sewer lines in street right-of-way. This information will
be used to supplement city GIS data files in developing general site plans and profiles for various
alternatives. The base mapping will be tied to City’s vertical (NAVD 88) and horizontal (83/91)
datum’s. The City will provide measure-down depths to pipe inverts in each manhole using
existing City as-built information. The base maps will only show the edge of street paving, 2 to 5
foot contours, sewer lines, manhole and access covers, and pipe invert elevations in the lower half

except as modified by surveying in Task 4.
Task 4 Deliverables:
1. Base maps showing streets, contours, sewer lines, manhole covers, manhole cover and pipe
invert elevations.
Task 5 – Alternative Analysis
5.1 Alternatives Identification Phase
Alternative Identification. This initial phase identifies and brainstorms possible alternatives that
have potential to prevent raw sewerage overflows from entering Puget Sound from the LS #1
basin. Opportunities include alternatives that reduce I/I, add additional conveyance pipelines
either by open-cut for trenchless methods, add pipeline or tank storage, upgrade LS #1, add a
scalping pump station, or through a combination thereof. The Consultant will prepare a
description of each alternative and identify associated advantages and disadvantages.
Alternative Identification Workshop. Of all the alternatives identified above, the Consultant will
recommend to the City 8 to 10 alternatives judged to be the best in meeting the project objectives.
A four-hour workshop will be held with the City to review, discuss and agree on the best
alternatives to be taken forward for further evaluation during the Alternative Screening Phase.
The Consultant and City will discuss and agree on the approach to the screening process and the
criteria used in the evaluation. The Consultant will prepare an agenda for the workshop and
provide follow up meeting minutes with action items.
5.2 Alternatives Screening Phase (8 to 10 Alternatives)
Alternative Screening. This phase screens the 8 to 10 alternatives identified in Subtask 5.1
down to 2 or 3 to carry forward to subtask 5.3. Based on available information the Consultant
will prepare a preliminary evaluation matrix and ranking of the 8 to 10 alternatives. The matrix
will consider factors such as feasibility, constructability, impacts to traffic and the evaluation
criteria agreed to with the City in subtask 5.1.
Alternative Screening Workshop. A 4 hour workshop will be held to determine the best two or
three alternatives. The City and Consultant will review the preliminary evaluation matrix and
ranking prepared by the Consultant and modify it as needed during the workshop to determine the
best 2 or 3 alternatives to carry forward to subtask 5.3. The Consultant and City will review and
confirm the evaluation criteria, weighting factors and score for each alternative. Possible
evaluation criteria may be grouped in categories of community, technical, operations, and costs.
Construction costs will be generally graded as low, medium, or high. Key City engineers and
operations and maintenance staff will be invited to participate in the workshop. The Consultant
will prepare an agenda for the workshop and meeting minutes with action items.

5.3 Alternative Refinement Phase (2 or 3 Alternatives)
Alternative Refinement Phase. This phase refines and clarifies the 2 or 3 best alternatives from
subtask 5.2 and compares and evaluates them to facilitate selection of a Recommended
Alternative. The Consultant will develop a schematic level design of the alternatives and prepare
planning level estimates of capital construction costs, O&M costs and life cycle costs. Sources for
the cost estimates will come from unit process cost curves, recent bid results, and/or percent
allowance from equipment and structural costs.
Alternative Refinement Meeting. The Consultant will meet with the City to review the schematic
designs of the alternatives and select a recommended alternative. The Consultant will document
the alternatives selection process in a Predesign report. The Consultant will prepare a meeting
agenda and follow up afterwards with meeting minutes with action items.
Assumptions:
1. No community involvement is anticipated.
2. Geotechnical assumptions based on existing geotechnical information.
3. Alternative Identification (Task 5.1) will rely on existing utility information from the City
GIS files.
4. Alternative Screening (Task 5.2) will rely on existing utility information from the City GIS
files and mobile mapping from Task 4.
5. Alternative Refinement (Task 5.3) will rely on existing utility information from the City GIS
files, mobile mapping, and spot field surveys from Task 4. More precise locations of buried
utilities can be confirmed in a future design phase if needed, such as with potholing or ground
penetrating radar and additional surveying.
6. Estimate assumes a maximum of 8 to 10 Screening Alternatives and 2 to 3 Refinement
Alternatives.
Task 5 Deliverables:
1. Meeting minutes with action items for the Alternative Identification Workshop.
2. Meeting minutes with action items for the Alternative Screening Workshop.
3. Meeting minutes with action items for the Alternative Refinement Meeting.
Task 6 - Recommended Alternative and Report
Recommended Alternative. The preferred alternative will be further developed as the
recommended plan. The plan will include more detailed design criteria, a hydraulic profile,
identification of permits and implementation schedule as described below:
o 10% Design Submittal. Prepare half size (11” X 17”) schematic plans at the 10 percent
design level for inclusion in the predesign report. The schematic design drawings will
include plan/elevation/sections of the recommended alternative.
o Probable Construction Cost Estimate. The Consultant will update the Probable
Construction Cost Estimate to include appropriate contingencies, including contractor’s
overhead and profit and sales tax. The cost of land acquisition will be included (if
applicable).

On April 28, 2015, staff presented this item to Council and it was forwarded to the May 5, 2015 consent
agenda.
Narrative
On April 30, 2015, the City received six bids for the 2015 Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project. The bids
ranged from a low of $1,090,411.07 to a high of $1,631,366.04. The bid tabulation summary is attached
as Exhibit A. Buno Construction, LLC submitted the low responsive bid in the
amount of $1,090,411.07. The engineer’s estimate was $1,400,000.00. A review of the low bidder’s
record is in progress, so far all responses are positive.
This project is part of the City’s program to replace and upgrade existing sanitary sewers at various
locations around the City that are reaching the end of their useful service life, are under capacity and
unable to meet current requirements or have some other system deficiency. The project will replace
approximately 1,690 linear feet of sanitary sewer piping along with associated manholes and service
connections at two locations around the City. The project will also make local repairs at two other sites
around the City.
The project costs are being funded by the 423 Sewer Fund.

Subject Title
Approval of 2015 Revenue Bond Ordinance.
Recommendation
Approve 2015 Water, Sewer and Stormwater Revenue Bond Ordinance.
Previous Council Action
On April 7th staff, Scott Bauer of A. Dashen & Associates and Alice Ostdiek of Foster Pepper presented a
revenue bond proposal to Council. During the April 7th meeting, staff recommended a 20 year term bond
issue for $14 million.
On April 28th staff, Scott Bauer of A. Dashen & Associates and Alice Ostdiek of Foster Pepper
presented a draft Bond Ordinance for the revenue bond proposal to Council. During the meeting, a
recommendation was made to include the estimated 2017 bond issuance of $3,500,000 into the 2014
bond issue and to increase the term of the bond from 20 years to 25 years. The reasoning for this
recommendation was 1) Save the City some money on issuance costs, and 2) provide the City greater
financial flexibility by extending the term of the bonds, which lowers the annual debt service and also
knowing the fact that the bonds are callable after ten years.
Narrative
A proposed 2015 Revenue Bond Ordinance is presented to Council to approve, authorizing the sale of
revenue bonds to fund water, sewer and stormwater projects.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings and Determinations. The City Council of the City of Edmonds,
Washington (the “City”) makes the findings and determinations set forth below. Capitalized
terms have the meanings given in Section 2.
(a) Plan of Additions. The City is in need of funds with which to finance the Plan of
Additions, the estimated cost of which is more than $20,000,000, and the City does not have
available sufficient funds to pay the costs. The life of the improvements comprising the Plan of
Additions is declared to be at least 25 years.
(b) Previously Issued Bonds and Loans. The City previously issued the 2011 Bonds
and the 2013 Bonds and by the Outstanding Parity Bond Ordinances provided for the issuance of
Future Parity Bonds on a parity of lien with the Outstanding Parity Bonds if certain Parity
Conditions are met at the time those Future Parity Bonds are issued. The City also has several
outstanding Loans, which are secured by a pledge of net revenues that is junior and inferior to
the pledge securing the Parity Bonds.
(c) Parity Conditions Met. The City Council finds and declares that the amounts
required to have been paid into the Bond Fund for the Outstanding Parity Bonds have been paid
and maintained as required therein, and that all other Parity Conditions for the issuance of the
Bonds as Future Parity Bonds will have been met and satisfied before the Bonds are delivered to
the Purchaser.
(d) Sufficiency of Gross Revenue. The City Council finds and determines that the
Gross Revenue and benefits to be derived from the operation and maintenance of the Water and
Sewer Utility at the rates to be charged for services from the Water and Sewer Utility will be
Packet Page 202 of 400

aside in a special trust fund or escrow account irrevocably pledged to that redemption or
defeasance (the “trust account”), money and/or Government Obligations maturing at a time or
times and bearing interest in amounts sufficient to redeem, refund or defease the defeased Bonds
in accordance with their terms, then all right and interest of the Owners of the defeased Bonds in
the covenants of this ordinance and in the funds and accounts obligated to the payment of the
defeased Bonds shall cease and become void. Thereafter, the Owners of defeased Bonds shall
have the right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the defeased Bonds solely
from the trust account and the defeased Bonds shall be deemed no longer outstanding. In that
event, the City may apply money remaining in any fund or account (other than the trust account)
established for the payment or redemption of the defeased Bonds to any lawful purpose, subject
only to the rights of the Owners of any other Parity Bonds then outstanding.
Unless otherwise specified by the City in a refunding or defeasance plan, notice of
refunding or defeasance shall be given, and selection of Bonds for inclusion in a refunding or
defeasance shall be conducted, in the manner prescribed in this ordinance for the redemption of
Bonds.
Section 12. Security for the Bonds; Bond Fund.
(a) Pledge of Net Revenues. The Net Revenue and ULID Assessments are pledged
irrevocably to the payment of the amounts required to be paid into the Bond Fund for the
payment of the Bonds and all Future Parity Bonds. This pledge shall constitute a lien and charge
upon the Net Revenue and ULID Assessments prior and superior to any other charges
whatsoever.
Packet Page 213 of 400
(b) Bond Fund; Deposits to Bond Fund. The Bond Fund has been established within
the Water and Sewer Utility Fund as a special fund of the City and divided into two accounts: the
Principal and Interest Account, and the Reserve Account.
So long as any of the Parity Bonds are outstanding, the City obligates and binds itself to
set aside and pay into the Bond Fund all ULID Assessments and, out of the Net Revenue, certain
fixed amounts, without regard to any fixed proportion, namely:
(1) Into the Principal and Interest Account, before each interest payment date of the
Parity Bonds, an amount that will be sufficient, together with other money on
deposit therein, to pay the interest on the Parity Bonds on the next succeeding
interest payment date; and
(2) Into the Principal and Interest Account, before each principal payment date of the
Parity Bonds (including any mandatory redemption date), an amount that will be
sufficient, together with other money on deposit therein, to pay the principal of
the Parity Bonds on the next succeeding Principal Payment Date, including
mandatory redemption amounts due on that date with respect to any Term Bonds;
and
(3) Into the Reserve Account, an amount sufficient that the amount on deposit in the
Reserve Account satisfies the Reserve Requirement for the Parity Bonds in the
time and manner required by this ordinance.
When the total amount on deposit in the Bond Fund equals the total outstanding amount of
principal and interest for all Parity Bonds to the last maturity thereof, no further payment need be
made into the Bond Fund. The Finance Director may create sinking fund accounts or other
accounts in the Bond Fund for the payment or securing the payment of Parity Bonds as long as
the maintenance of such accounts does not conflict with the rights of the owners of Parity Bonds.
(c) The Reserve Account; Reserve Requirement. The City covenants and agrees that
it will at all times maintain in the Reserve Account an amount (including the value of all Reserve
Securities deposited therein) equal to the Reserve Requirement, except for withdrawals as
authorized in this subsection, until there is a sufficient amount in the Principal and Interest
Account and Reserve Account to pay the principal of and interest on all outstanding Parity
Bonds, at which time the money in the Reserve Account may be used to pay any such principal
and interest so long as the money remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account is not less than
the Reserve Requirement calculated based on the remaining outstanding Parity Bonds. The
Reserve Requirement shall be deemed satisfied by any combination of Parity Bond proceeds,
Reserve Securities or other legally available money equal to the Reserve Requirement, or by the
deposit of available funds of the City in approximately equal annual installments so that the
Reserve Requirement is funded no later than three years after the issuance of any Future Parity
Bonds.
If there is a deficiency in the Principal and Interest Account in the Bond Fund to make
the next upcoming payment of either principal or interest, that deficiency shall be made up from
the Reserve Account by the withdrawal of amounts necessary for that purpose. Any deficiency
created in the Reserve Account by reason of any such withdrawal shall then be made up from the
next available payments of Net Revenue and ULID Assessments after making necessary
provision for the required payments into the Principal and Interest Account.
Packet Page 214 of 400
(d) Investment of Money Deposited in Bond Fund. All money in the Bond Fund may
be kept in cash; deposited with an institution (as permitted by law) in an amount in each
institution not greater than the amount insured by any department or agency of the United States
Government; or invested in Permitted Investments or other legal investments permitted to the
City maturing not later than the date when needed (for investments in the Principal and Interest
Account) or the last maturity of any outstanding Parity Bonds (for investments in the Reserve
Account). Income from investments in the Principal and Interest Account shall be deposited in
that account. Income from investments in the Reserve Account shall be deposited in that account
until the amount therein is equal to the Reserve Requirement, and thereafter shall be deposited in
the Principal and Interest Account or used for other Water and Sewer Utility purposes.
(e) Action to Compel Payments. If the City fails to set aside and pay into the Bond
Fund the amounts set forth above, the owner of any of the outstanding Parity Bonds may bring
action against the City and compel the setting aside and payment.
Section 13. Deposit of Bond Proceeds. On the Issue Date, proceeds of the Bonds in an
amount sufficient to satisfy the Reserve Requirement shall be deposited into the Reserve
Account. The remaining proceeds of the Bonds shall be deposited in the Construction Fund and
be used to pay the costs of issuance and sale of the Bonds and the costs of carrying out the Plan
of Additions. Until needed to pay such costs, the City may invest those proceeds temporarily in
any legal investment, and the investment earnings shall be retained in the Construction Fund and
used for the purposes of that fund, except that earnings subject to a federal tax or rebate
requirement (if applicable) may be withdrawn from the Construction Fund and used for those tax
or rebate purposes.
Section 14. Flow of Funds. So long as any Parity Bonds are outstanding, the City
covenants that all ULID Assessments (if any) shall be paid into the Bond Fund, and the Gross
Revenue shall be deposited into the Water and Sewer Utility Fund (or the respective System
funds therein) to be used for the following purposes only in the following order of priority:
(1) To pay Operating and Maintenance Expenses.
(2) To make when due the required payments into the Principal and Interest Account
in respect of interest on the Parity Bonds.
(3) To make when due the required payments into the Principal and Interest Account
in respect of principal of (and premium on, if any) the Parity Bonds, whether at
maturity or pursuant to redemption prior to maturity.
(4) To make when due all payments required to be made into the Reserve Account.
(5) To make when due all payments required to be made under any reimbursement
agreement with a Bond Insurer in any priority not inconsistent with this
ordinance, which the City may hereafter establish by ordinance.
(6) To make when due the required payments to be made into any revenue bond, note
warrant or other revenue obligation redemption fund, debt service account or
reserve account created to pay and secure the payment of any revenue obligations
of the Water and Sewer Utility having a charge upon the Net Revenue junior and
inferior to the charge thereon for the payment of the Parity Bonds.
Packet Page 215 of 400
(7) Without priority, to retire by redemption or to purchase in the open market any
outstanding Parity Bonds or junior lien obligations, to make necessary
betterments and replacements of or repairs, additions or extensions to the Water
and Sewer Utility, to make deposits into the Rate Stabilization Account, or for
any other lawful purpose.
Section 15. Additional Covenants. So long as any Parity Bonds are outstanding, the
City covenants and agrees with the owner of each Bond at any time outstanding as follows:
(a) Maintenance and Operation. The City will at all times maintain, preserve and
keep the properties of the Water and Sewer Utility in good repair, working order and condition,
will make all necessary and proper additions, betterments, renewals and repairs thereto, and
improvements, replacements and extensions thereof, and will at all times operate or cause to be
operated the properties of the Water and Sewer Utility and the business in connection therewith
in an efficient manner and at a reasonable cost.
(b) Establishment and Collection of Rates and Charges. The City will establish,
maintain and collect rates and charges for all services and facilities provided by the Water and
Sewer Utility which will be fair and nondiscriminatory. The City will adjust those rates and
charges from time to time so that: (i) the Gross Revenue will at all times be sufficient to (A) pay
all Maintenance and Operation Expenses on a current basis, (B) pay when due all amounts that
the City is obligated to pay into the Bond Fund and the accounts therein, (C) pay all taxes (or
payments in lieu thereof), assessments or other governmental charges lawfully imposed on the
Water and Sewer Utility and any and all other amounts which the City may now or hereafter
become obligated to pay from the Gross Revenue by law or contract; and (ii) the Adjusted Net
Revenue in each fiscal year will be at least equal to the Coverage Requirement.
(c) Sale or Disposition of Utility Property. The City will not sell, lease, mortgage or
in any manner encumber or dispose of all the property of the Water and Sewer Utility unless
provision is made for payment into the Bond Fund of a sum sufficient to pay the principal of and
interest on all Parity Bonds then outstanding. Further, the City will not sell, lease, mortgage, or
in any manner encumber or dispose of (each, a “disposition”) any part of the property of the
Water and Sewer Utility that is used, useful and material to the operation thereof (the “affected
portion”) unless provision is made for replacement thereof or for payment into the Bond Fund of
an amount which shall bear the same ratio to the amount of Parity Bonds then outstanding (less
the amount of cash and investments in the Bond Fund and the accounts therein) as (i) the Net
Revenue from affected portion of the Water and Sewer Utility for the twelve months preceding
such disposition bears to (ii) the Net Revenue from the entire Water and Sewer Utility for the
same period. Any money paid into the Bond Fund as a result of such a disposition shall be used
to retire that proportion of then-outstanding Parity Bonds at the earliest possible date.
(d) Books and Records. The City will maintain complete books and records relating
to the operation of the Water and Sewer Utility and its financial affairs, and will cause such
books and records to be audited annually, and cause to be prepared an annual financial and
operating statement, which shall be provided to any owner of Parity Bonds upon request.
(e) No Free Service. Except to aid the poor or infirm, to provide for resource
conservation or to provide for the proper handling of hazardous materials, the City will not
furnish or supply or permit the furnishing or supplying of any service or facility in connection
Packet Page 216 of 400
with the operation of the Water and Sewer Utility free of charge to any person, firm or
corporation, public or private, other than the City.
(f) Collection of Delinquent Accounts. On at least an annual basis, the City will
determine all accounts that are delinquent and will take all necessary action to enforce payment
of such accounts against those property owners whose accounts are delinquent.
(g) Insurance. The City will at all times carry fire and such other forms of insurance
on such of the buildings, equipment, facilities and properties of the Water and Sewer Utility as
are ordinarily carried on such buildings, equipment, facilities, and properties by utilities engaged
in the operation of similar utility systems to the full insurable value thereof, and also will carry
adequate public liability insurance at all times. The City may self insure or participate in a joint
intergovernmental insurance pool or similar plan, and the cost of that insurance or self insurance
shall be considered a part of Operating and Maintenance Expenses.
(h) ULID Assessments. The City will promptly collect all ULID Assessments and
deposit such collections into the Bond Fund to pay or secure the principal of and interest on any
Parity Bonds without those ULID Assessments being particularly allocated to any particular
series of Parity Bonds.
Section 16. Rate Stabilization Account. The Rate Stabilization Account has been
previously established within the Water and Sewer Utility Fund. Deposits and withdrawals shall
be made in accordance with this section at any time up to and including the date 90 days after the
end of the fiscal year for which the deposit or withdrawal will be included as Adjusted Net
Revenue for that fiscal year, as follows:
(a) Deposits to the Rate Stabilization Account. The City may at any time, as
determined by the Finance Director and as consistent with the covenants contained in this
ordinance, deposit into the Rate Stabilization Account amounts of Gross Revenue and any other
money received by the Water and Sewer Utility and available to be used therefor, excluding
principal proceeds of Parity Bonds or other borrowing. However, no deposit of Gross Revenue
may be made into the Rate Stabilization Account to the extent that such deposit would prevent
the City from meeting the Coverage Requirement in the relevant fiscal year.
(b) Withdrawals from the Rate Stabilization Account. The City may withdraw money
from the Rate Stabilization Account at any time upon authorization of the City Council (which
may be by motion, resolution or ordinance) for inclusion in the Adjusted Net Revenue for any
fiscal year of the Water and Sewer Utility, except that the total amount withdrawn from the Rate
Stabilization Account in any fiscal year may not exceed the Annual Debt Service in that year.
Earnings from investments in the Rate Stabilization Account shall be deposited in that account
and shall not be included as Adjusted Net Revenue unless and until withdrawn from that account.
Section 17. Separate Utility Systems. The City may create, acquire, construct,
finance, own and operate one or more additional systems for water supply, sewer service, water,
sewage or stormwater transmission, treatment or other commodity or utility service. The revenue
of that Separate Utility System, and any utility local improvement district assessments payable
solely with respect to improvements to a Separate Utility System, shall not be included in the
Gross Revenue and may be pledged to the payment of revenue obligations issued to purchase,
construct, condemn or otherwise acquire or expand the Separate Utility System. Neither the
Gross Revenue nor the Net Revenue may be pledged to the payment of any obligations of a
Packet Page 217 of 400
Separate Utility System except that the Net Revenue may be pledged on a basis subordinate to
the lien of the Parity Bonds.
Section 18. Sale and Delivery of the Bonds; Parity Certificate.
(a) Manner of Sale of Bonds; Delivery of Bonds. The Designated Representative is
authorized to sell each Series of the Bonds by negotiated sale or private placement or by
competitive sale in accordance with a notice of sale consistent with this ordinance, based on the
assessment of the Designated Representative of market conditions, in consultation with
appropriate City officials and staff, Bond Counsel, the Financial Advisor and other advisors. In
determining the method of sale of a Series of the Bonds and accepting the Final Terms, the
Designated Representative shall take into account those factors that, in the judgment of the
Designated Representative, may be expected to result in the lowest true interest cost to the City.
(b) Procedure for Negotiated Sale or Private Placement. If the Designated
Representative determines that a Series of the Bonds is to be sold by negotiated sale or private
placement, the Designated Representative shall select one or more Purchasers with which to
negotiate such sale. The Bond Purchase Contract for each Series of the Bonds shall set forth the
Final Terms. The Designated Representative is authorized to execute the Bond Purchase
Contract on behalf of the City, so long as the terms provided therein are consistent with the terms
of this ordinance.
(c) Procedure for Competitive Sale. If the Designated Representative determines that
a Series of the Bonds is to be sold by competitive sale, the Designated Representative shall cause
the preparation of an official notice of bond sale setting forth parameters for the Final Terms and
any other bid parameters that the Designated Representative deems appropriate consistent with
this ordinance. Bids for the purchase of each Series of the Bonds shall be received at such time
or place and by such means as the Designated Representative directs. On the date and time
established for the receipt of bids, the Designated Representative (or the designee of the
Designated Representative) shall open bids and shall cause the bids to be mathematically
verified. The Designated Representative is authorized to award, on behalf of the City, the
winning bid and accept the winning bidder’s offer to purchase that Series of the Bonds, with
such adjustments to the aggregate principal amount and principal amount per maturity as the
Designated Representative deems appropriate, consistent with the terms of this ordinance and
such award shall constitute the Bond Purchase Contract. The Designated Representative may
reject any or all bids submitted and may waive any formality or irregularity in any bid or in the
bidding process if the Designated Representative deems it to be in the City's best interest to do
so. If all bids are rejected, that Series of the Bonds may be sold pursuant to negotiated sale or in
any manner provided by law as the Designated Representative determines is in the best interest
of the City, within the parameters set forth in this ordinance.
(d) Parity Certificate. At the time of issuance of the Bonds, the Designated
Representative shall cause to be executed and have on file a certificate of coverage as required
for the issuance of Future Parity Bonds under Section 20 of the 2011 Bond Ordinance and
Section 19 of the 2013 Bond Ordinance.
(e) Preparation, Execution and Delivery of the Bonds. The Bonds will be prepared at
City expense and will be delivered to the Purchaser in accordance with the Bond Purchase
Contract, together with the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel regarding the Bonds.
Packet Page 218 of 400
Section 19. Parity Conditions. The City reserves the right to issue Future Parity Bonds
which will constitute a charge and lien upon the Net Revenue and ULID Assessments on a parity
with the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds if the Parity Conditions are met and complied
with at the time of the issuance of those Future Parity Bonds. Nothing contained in the Parity
Conditions shall prevent the City from issuing revenue obligations having a lien on the Net
Revenue that is junior to the lien thereon that secures the Parity Bonds, or from pledging to pay
into a bond redemption fund or account for such junior lien obligations assessments (including
interest and penalties thereon) in any utility local improvement district that are levied to pay part
or all of the cost of improvements being constructed out of the proceeds of the sale of such junior
lien obligations. Neither shall anything contained in this ordinance prevent the City from issuing
revenue obligations to refund maturing Parity Bonds for the payment of which money is not
otherwise available.
Section 20. Tax Matters.
(a) Preservation of Tax Exemption for Interest on Tax-Exempt Bonds. The City
covenants that it will take all actions necessary to prevent interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds
from being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, and it will neither take any
action nor make or permit any use of proceeds of the Bonds issued as Tax-Exempt Bonds (or
other funds of the City treated as proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Bonds) that will cause interest on
the Tax-Exempt Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City
also covenants that it will, to the extent the arbitrage rebate requirements of Section 148 of the
Code are applicable to the Tax-Exempt Bonds, take all actions necessary to comply (or to be
treated as having complied) with those requirements in connection with the Tax-Exempt Bonds.
(b) Post-Issuance Compliance. The Finance Director is authorized and directed to
review and update the City’s written procedures to facilitate compliance by the City with the
covenants in this ordinance and the applicable requirements of the Code that must be satisfied
after the Issue Date to prevent interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds from being included in gross
income for federal tax purposes.
(c) Designation of Bonds as “Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations.” A Series of the
Tax-Exempt Bonds may be designated as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for the purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, if the following conditions are met:
(1) the Series of Tax-Exempt Bonds does not constitute “private activity bonds”
within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code;
(2) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than private
activity bonds and other obligations not required to be included in such
calculation) that the City and any entity subordinate to the City (including any
entity that the City controls, that derives its authority to issue tax-exempt
obligations from the City, or that issues tax-exempt obligations on behalf of the
City) will issue during the calendar year in which the Tax-Exempt Bonds are
issued will not exceed $10,000,000; and
(3) the amount of tax-exempt obligations, including the Series of Tax-Exempt Bonds,
designated by the City as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for the purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code during the calendar year in which the Series of
Tax-Exempt Bonds are issued does not exceed $10,000,000.

Section 21. Official Statement; Continuing Disclosure.
(a) Preliminary Official Statement Deemed Final. The Designated Representative
shall review and, if acceptable to him or her, approve the preliminary Official Statement
prepared in connection with each sale of a Series of the Bonds to the public or through a
Purchaser as a placement agent. For the sole purpose of the Purchaser’s compliance with
paragraph (b)(1) of Rule 15c2-12, if applicable, the Designated Representative is authorized to
deem that preliminary Official Statement final as of its date, except for the omission of
information permitted to be omitted by Rule 15c2-12. The City approves the distribution to
potential purchasers of the Bonds of a preliminary Official Statement that has been approved by
the Designated Representative and been deemed final, if applicable, in accordance with this
subsection.
(b) Approval of Final Official Statement. The City approves the preparation of a final
Official Statement for each Series of the Bonds to be sold to the public in the form of the
preliminary Official Statement that has been approved and deemed final in accordance with
subsection (a), with such modifications and amendments as the Designated Representative deems
necessary or desirable, and further authorizes the Designated Representative to execute and
deliver such final Official Statement to the Purchaser if required under Rules 15c2-12. The City
authorizes and approves the distribution by the Purchaser of that final Official Statement so
executed and delivered to purchasers and potential purchasers of a Series of the Bonds.
(c) Undertaking to Provide Continuing Disclosure. If necessary to meet the
requirements of paragraph (b)(5) of Rule 15c2-12, as applicable to the Purchaser acting as a
participating underwriter for a Series of the Bonds, the Designated Representative is authorized
to execute a written undertaking to provide continuing disclosure for the benefit of holders of a
Series of the Bonds in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D.
Section 22. Amendatory Ordinances.

initial issuance of the Bonds, except as provided in and in accordance with and subject to the
provisions of this section.
(b) The City, from time to time, and at any time, without the consent of or notice to

amendments and modifications to this ordinance regarding exchangeability of
Bonds of different authorized denominations, redemptions of portions of Bonds of
particular authorized denominations and similar amendments and modifications of
a technical nature;
(6) To modify, alter, amend or supplement this ordinance in any other respect which
is not materially adverse to the registered owners of the Parity Bonds and which
does not involve a change described in subsection (c) of this section; and
(7) Because of change in federal law or rulings, to maintain the exclusion from gross
income of the interest on the Bonds from federal income taxation.
(c) Except for any amendatory ordinance passed into pursuant to subsection (b) of
this section, subject to the terms and provisions contained in this subsection (c) and not
otherwise:
(1) Registered owners of not less than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the
Parity Bonds then outstanding shall have the right from time to time to consent to
the passage of any amendatory ordinance deemed necessary or desirable by the
City for the purpose of modifying, altering, amending, supplementing or
rescinding, in any particular, any of the terms or provisions contained in this
ordinance. However, consent by the registered owners of all the Bonds then
outstanding is required for any amendatory ordinance authorizing: (i) a change in
the times, amounts or currency of payment of the principal of or interest on any
outstanding Bond, or a reduction in the principal amount of redemption price of
any outstanding Bond or a change in the redemption price of any outstanding
Bond or a change in the method of determining the rate of interest thereon; (ii) a
preference of priority of any Bond or Bonds or any other bond or bonds; or (iii) a
reduction in the aggregate principal amount of Bonds.
(2) Any amendatory ordinance passed for any of the purposes of this subsection (c),
shall not become effective except in accordance with this subsection (c)(2). Upon
passage of any such amendatory ordinance, the City shall cause notice of the
proposed ordinance to be given by first class United States mail to all registered

the Bonds, as applicable) and (ii) an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such
amendatory ordinance is permitted by this ordinance; that upon the effective date
thereof, it will be valid and binding upon the City in accordance with its terms;
and its passage will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for
federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds.
Packet Page 221 of 400
(3) If registered owners of not less than the percentage of Parity Bonds (or Bonds, as
applicable) required by this subsection (c) have consented, no owner of the Parity
Bonds shall have any right to object to the passage of the ordinance (or to any of
the terms and provisions contained therein or the operation thereof), or in any
manner to question the propriety of the passage thereof, or to enjoin or restrain the
City from passing, or from taking any action pursuant to, the same.
(d) Upon the effective date of any amendatory ordinance passed pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 22, this ordinance shall be amended in accordance therewith, and the
respective rights, duties and obligations under this ordinance of the City, the Bond Registrar and
all Registered Owners of Bonds then outstanding, shall thereafter be determined, exercised and

the principal thereof and interest thereon out of the Bond Fund.
(d) The Future Parity Bond Authorizing Ordinance must provide for the deposit into
the Reserve Account of amounts necessary to comply with the Reserve Requirement and Section
12 of this ordinance.
(e) At the time of the issuance of such Future Parity Bonds, the City shall have on
file, either:
(1) A certificate from an Independent Utility Consultant showing that, in his or her
professional opinion, the annual Net Revenue available for debt service on the
Parity Bonds then outstanding and the Future Parity Bonds proposed to be issued
shall, for each year, be at least equal to the Coverage Requirement. In making such
certification, the Net Revenue for any 12 consecutive calendar months out of the
immediately preceding 24 consecutive months shall be used, and the following
adjustments may be made to the historical net operating revenue:
(i) Any rate change that has taken place or been approved, may be reflected;
(ii) Revenue may be added from customers actually added to the Water and Sewer
Utility subsequent to the 12-month base period;
(iii) Revenue may be added from customers to be served by the improvements
being constructed out of the proceeds of the Future Parity Bonds to be issued;
and
(iv) A full year’s revenue may be included from any customer being served, but
who has not been receiving service for the full period of operation used as a
basis for the certificate; and
(v) Actual or reasonably anticipated changes to the Operating and Maintenance
Expenses subsequent to such 12-month period shall be added or deducted, as
is applicable.
(2) A certificate of the Finance Director showing that, in his or her professional
opinion, the annual Net Revenue available for debt service on the Parity Bonds
then outstanding and the Future Parity Bonds proposed to be issued shall, for each
year, be at least equal to the Coverage Requirement. In making such certification,
the Finance Director shall assume that (A) the proposed Future Parity Bonds will
remain outstanding to their scheduled maturities, and (B) any Parity Bonds to be
Packet Page 226 of 400
refunded by those Future Parity Bonds are not outstanding. The Finance Director
shall not make any of the adjustments referred to above.
However, if the Future Parity Bonds are being issued for the sole purpose of refunding
then-outstanding Parity Bonds (including paying costs of issuance and providing for the
Reserve Requirement), no coverage certification is required if, as result of the issuance of
those Future Parity Bonds, (a) the Annual Debt Service on the Future Parity Bonds to be
issued is not increased by more than $5,000 over the Annual Debt Service for that year of
the bonds being refunded, and (b) the various annual maturities of the refunding Future
Parity Bonds will not extend more than one year longer than the Parity Bonds being
refunded. Furthermore, no certificate shall be required in connection with the issuance of
Future Parity Bonds if the amount of such bonds proposed to be issued does not exceed
the ULID Assessments levied in support of such Future Parity Bond issue by more than
$5,000 plus any amount of the proceeds of such Future Parity Bonds deposited in the
Reserve Account as capitalized reserve.

Public Hearing for 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor Interim Public Art Project
Recommendation
1) Conduct a public hearing on the Edmonds Arts Commission recommendation for the 4th Avenue
Interim art proposal by Iole Alessandrini, and 2) consider the recommendation for approval on
the Consent Agenda on May 12.
Previous Council Action
Narrative
The public art process for the City includes a presentation at City Council with a public hearing for
proposed projects recommended by the Edmonds Arts Commission. On April 6, 2015 the Arts
Commission met and unanimously approved the 4th Avenue Interim Art proposal "Luminous Forest" by
Iole Alessandrini to bring forth to City Council with a recommendation for approval. The Arts Manager
will introduce the artist to present her proposal followed by a public hearing at which public comment
will be taken.
The 4th Avenue interim art project is an implementation of the 2014 adopted Community Cultural
Plan strategy 1.4, to advance the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor through short-term or interim projects.
This interim step also contributes to the City Strategic Action Plan objective 1.e.4 regarding creation of
an arts enhanced walkable corridor connecting the ECA and Main Street. Retaining the big concepts of
the 2009 4th Avenue Plan, the interim art project will highlight this unique corridor in downtown
Edmonds as the major pedestrian connection between the vibrant activity center of Edmonds Center for
the Arts and the downtown retail center surrounding Main Street. The unique character of this corridor is
as a neighborhood, as a link for economic activity in the downtown, and as a regional asset for economic
development and cultural history.
In response to community interest following adoption of the Community Cultural Plan in 2014, the
Edmonds Arts Commission convened a stakeholders advisory group including residents, property
owners, and businesses on the 4th Avenue corridor to develop an approach to moving forward a plan for
interim art installations. The primary goal was to incorporate art on the corridor in 2015 that would
connect and highlight the link between Edmonds Center for the Arts and Main Street. An update on the
approach developed was reviewed by the Arts Commission on August 4, 2014 and presented at City
Council on September 23, 2014. Project funding of $30,000 was included in the EAC 2015 budget and
$10,000 of that has been donated to the project by the Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation.
Packet Page 241 of 400
On March 23, 2015, three artists presented proposals for interim art installations to the Selection
Committee. The neighborhood and community were invited to the public meeting through emails
and local media and public comment was taken at the meeting. Thirteen members of the public attended
and the majority of comments strongly preferred the proposal by Alessandrini. The six member Selection
Committee included City Councilmember Kristiana Johnson, Arts Commissioner Samantha Saether,
neighborhood resident Susan Bauer, property owner and ECA board member Steve Shelton, EAFF board
member Terry Vehrs, and arts professional Benson Shaw. After reviewing the proposals and public
comment, the Selection Committee unanimously recommended selection of Iole
Alessandrini's proposal option C to the Arts Commission. Her proposal consists of solar LED light
elements embedded in the roadway which will visually highlight the entire corridor at night creating a
surprise night time environment not seen elsewhere in the region. Public and Selection Committee
comments generally concurred that it is a compelling design, very simple but effectively achieves the goal
to connect the whole length of the corridor.

REPORTS -
A. Creative Programs
1. Best Book Poster Contest – The reception date is April 16 and Commissioners able to help at the
event should arrive by 5:30. Volunteers for mounting and hanging the forty posters were arranged.
Otness and Saether will return posters not selected to the schools.
2. WOTS – Otness provided an update on the lineup for Friday presenters and plenary speakers (Stella
Cameron and Rick Steves) and reported that the committee will finish reviewing applications this
month. She noted that the conference will need additional volunteers on Friday since there will be a
higher volume than in the past of participants at the Frances Anderson Center that day.
3. Concerts – Conefrey asked Commissioners to sign up for Concerts in City Park. Signups for Hazel
Miller will be at the next meeting.
4. Axis Dance Program at ECA – ECA is applying for a national grant to bring Axis Dance to present a
program with educational and community outreach components. Commissioners discussed the
program. Muir MOVED and Otness SECONDED that the EAC partner on the program and that
sponsorship for Axis Dance be included in the 2016 budget at $750. MOTION Approved.
5. 4th Avenue Interim Art – Saether, Arts Commission representative on the Selection Committee,
reported on the public meeting and the three different approaches presented by the artists. John
Fleming presented a project using Mondrian type patterns and colors painted on sidewalk corners,
two at each intersection. Bruce Myers presented a variety of elements including constellations
marked by bronze insets in the sidewalks, vertical leaf catchers for existing poles, poetry stenciled on
sidewalks, and maple leaf crosswalks. Iole Alessandrini presented a concept focused on early and
newer street grids for a lighting project using solar LED lights in the roadway. Saether noted that
everyone in the room seemed totally engaged by the Alessandrini presentation. Public comments
were predominantly in favor of the proposal for lights in the street that visually connect the corridor
Packet Page 243 of 400
at night. She noted that several residents commented on how dark the street is and welcomed the
idea of adding low level lighting in the roadway which would make it a safer and more welcoming
environment. The selection committee met after the meeting and discussed each proposal. Public
comment, verbal and written, was also reviewed. The selection committee came to a consensus that
it is more important to have visual impact on the corridor at night than in the day. Saether said they
hoped that there might be a way in future to make the project more noticeable during the day. The
Selection Committee unanimously selected Iole Alessandrini to recommend to the EAC at the April
meeting.
Discussion followed about how 4th Avenue has been designated as a unique and special corridor
connecting ECA and downtown retail since Planning Board changed the zoning to BD5 around 2006.
The big anchors on the corridor are ECA at the north end and Europe Through the Back Door at the
south. They each draw significant numbers of visitors confirming the importance of pedestrian flow
and visually connecting the corridor with the rest of downtown. In addition it is a popular walking
route for residents. Commissioners noted that the City has declared their intent to highlight the
corridor both through the special zoning and through the 2009 design process for the 4th Avenue
Cultural Corridor and continued inclusion of the concept in the 2014 Cultural Plan and the Strategic
Action Plan. Commissioners commented that the low level solar LED lighting project is pedestrian
friendly, providing a path at night on a poorly lit street, and will serve to entice pedestrians from one
end to the other. This interim project is an investment in future of the street as a key part of the
downtown.
Muir MOVED and Otness SECONDED that the EAC recommend the lighting project by Alessandrini to
City Council and following a public hearing request authorization for the Mayor to sign a contract
with the selected artist. MOTION approved.
6. On the Fence – Chapin presented an application from Liz Tran. The Commission discussed the project
enthusiastically. Saether MOVED and Rathvon SECONDED that Liz Tran be awarded a contract to
install her proposed project for On the Fence. MOTION Approved. Further discussion ensued about
scheduling and stipend. An increase in both the stipend and the exhibit time will not increase the
overall budget for the program. The expectation is that there will be three to four installations a year.
Otness MOVED and Muir SECONDED that the stipend be increased to $500 for a 3 month installation
display period. MOTION Approved.
B. Capital Projects
1. Dayton Street Plaza – Chapin reported that the schedule for demolishing has been delayed but
the plan is still to have the project completed in late fall.
C. Funding & Administration
1. Retreat Minutes and Strategic Work Plan – Conefrey and Chapin asked for comments on the
Minutes followed by discussion.
Rathvon MOVED and Otness SECONDED that the Retreat Minutes be approved with corrections.
MOTION Approved.
The revisions to the Strategic Work Plan were reviewed. Saether MOVED and Muir SECONDED
that the 2015 revised Strategic Work Plan be approved. MOTION Approved.
2. Community Cultural Plan Work Group Meetings Update – Conefrey reported on the second
meeting of the Programs and Events work group for Community Cultural Plan implementation.
The group is in agreement that the main purpose of meeting is to help increase the range of
events and audience, leverage existing events, and encourage development of new or expanded
off season programs. Conefrey gave two examples, the new Café program aimed at having an
initial event next spring, and Jazz Connection which hopes to expand their participation and
outreach.

STAFF REPORT – Chapin reported that the Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation has donated $1,000 for support
of public art maintenance in 2015. They have donated annually for a number of years, recognizing the

Public Hearing on a proposed Ordinance authorizing the acquisition by negotiation or condemnation of
real property interests for the 76th Ave/212th Street Intersection Improvements project.
Recommendation
Approve Ordinance.
Previous Council Action
On April 28, 2015, staff presented the proposed ordinance to Council.
Narrative
Right of way is needed from eight property owners to construct the 76thAve and 212th Street Intersection
Improvements. The City’s right of way consultant, Universal Field Services, Inc., is negotiating the
purchase of the needed land and property rights to build the project.
The City has adopted right of way procedures for federal-aid projects that require the City to offer fair
and equitable compensation for the property rights being acquired. On acquisitions of more than $25,000,
a full appraisal is completed by a certified appraiser to establish the compensation due for the property
rights being acquired. In addition to the first appraisal, an independent appraiser reviews the first
appraiser’s work to confirm that the offer is fair and equitable.
On simple acquisitions less than $25,000, the appraiser can establish an offer for compensation based on
market transactions and other pertinent information. However, the property owner is made aware at the
time of the offer that an appraisal has not been done and that one can be prepared if they desire to have
the information.
The City’s goal is to ensure that property owners are fairly compensated for the value of the land
and property rights needed for the Project. However, there are times when a property owner and the City
cannot agree on a settlement for those property rights. When an agreement cannot be reached through
negotiations, the City can pursue the purchase of the property rights by condemnation.
In order to utilize this right, the City Council must adopt an ordinance authorizing condemnation. The
proposed ordinance is attached and includes six out of the eight properties. Two properties, 7500 Building
and Dairy Queen, both on southeast corner of the 76 th Ave and 212th Street intersection, have signed
their right of way documents and those are pending City Council approval.

This consolidated application came before the Edmonds City
Council on April 21, 2015 for a closed-record pre-decision
hearing pursuant to ECDC 17.00.030.C. The Hearing Examiner
conducted an open-record hearing on March 26, 2015 after the
Architectural Design Board reviewed the project and made a
recommendation to the Hearing Examiner on March 4, 2015.
The City Council was presented with an agenda memo on April
21, 2015, which included the following eight exhibits:

The review of this application was continued to April 28,
2015 to allow for the inclusion of the hearing examiner’s
summary of testimony in the record before the council which had
not been included in the April 21 agenda and to allow for
objections to argument provided at the April 21 meeting that was

March 26, 2015. The City Council was presented with a
supplemental agenda memo for April 28 which included the
following two exhibits:
1. Summary of testimony compiled by the Hearing Examiner at
the March 26, 2015 public hearing which was not
originally included with his decision nor in the April 21
agenda memo;
2. Edmonds School District No. 15’s Objections to Testimony
Offered During Closed Record Hearing (PLN20140065,
PLN20140066, PLN20140067) dated April 24, 2015.
Based upon the record developed before the hearing examiner
(see summary of testimony and exhibits), and based upon the
withdrawal of the field lighting applications subsequent to the
hearing examiner’s recommendation, the City Council hereby
adopts the following findings of fact and conclusions of law,
which are largely based on the Hearing Examiner’s recommendation
dated March 26, 2015 but modified as necessary to account for
the withdrawal of the application for field lighting:

2. Hearing. The Hearing Examiner conducted an open
record hearing on the subject application on March 26, 2015 at
3:00 pm in the Council Chambers of the Edmonds Public Safety
Complex. The City Council conducted a closed record review of
the Hearing Examiner’s recommendation on April 21, 2015, which
was continued to April 28, 2015. The City Council conducted an
appearance of fairness doctrine inquiry on both dates, disclosed
ex parte communications that are attached hereto as Exhibit A,
and inquired as to whether there were any objections to
participation based upon the appearance of fairness doctrine. No
objections were raised.
Substantive:
3. Site and Proposal Description. The applicant has
applied for one conditional use permit, one variance and design
review to install ball control fencing and bleachers as part of
a playfield improvement project at the former Woodway High
School site at 23200 100th Ave West. The project site is located
in two zoning districts, specifically the Open Space (OS) and
Single-Family 8 (SR-8) zones. The conditional use permit is
requested for bleachers and a 30-foot high ball control fence in
the OS zone. A variance is requested to exceed the height limit
for the proposed thirty-foot ball control fence in the RS-8
zone. All applications for field lighting were withdrawn prior
to the City Council’s closed record review.

Proposed improvements to the ball fields are divided into
three phases, with the permits subject to this decision
addressing Phase I. Phase I involves installing two new
synthetic turf fields together with 30-foot tall ball control
fencing, backstops, bleachers, and dugouts. The project site is
split-zoned between Open Space (OS) and Single-Family
Residential (RS-8), with most of Phase I in the OS zone and a
small portion in the southeastern corner in the RS-8 zone. See
Ex. 1, att. 13. The existing school buildings, parking areas
and vehicular circulation patterns will remain unchanged.
Phases 2 and 3 may be constructed at a future date
depending upon funding availability. Phases 2 and 3 may include
an identical multipurpose synthetic turf field to the North
which would connect the pedestrian pathway system to the
southern field constructed in Phase 1. Phase 3 may includes a
one story restroom and concession building. It is not known at
this time whether the abandoned field lighting application would
be resubmitted in conjunction with Phase 2, Phase 3, or not at
all. No portion of Phase 2 or Phase 3 is approved as part of
this decision.
The record is somewhat unclear as to how much ball field
use will change as a result of the proposal. The testimony,
which was given at the time the District was still proposing

field lighting, suggests that the change in use will be
substantial. Numerous people testified of the strong need for
additional fields. Many Edmonds residents have to travel to
fields outside of Edmonds because Edmonds doesn’t have enough
ball fields available. A detailed summary of all the public
testimony on the proposal is appended to this report as
Attachment 1.
4. Characteristics of the Area. The surrounding area is
primarily developed single-family residential, with some BN
zoned property to the north. Adjoining uses are buffered by an
existing forested area which varies between about 50 feet and
200 feet in width (Attachment 3, cover sheet).
5. Adverse Impacts of Proposed Use. The administrative
record, created at the time that the District was proposing
field lighting, revealed the potential for unmitigated
significant adverse traffic impacts. Had the District not
abandoned the lighting application, further information would
have been necessary to determine whether traffic impacts needed
to be mitigated. Excluding traffic impacts associated with the
abandoned field lighting applications, the proposal will not
create any other significant adverse impacts or be significantly
detrimental to other properties. Impacts are more specifically
addressed below:

A. Traffic. Approval of the bleachers and ball control fencing
could result in increased use of the fields without the field
lights, but the record does not suggest that this increase would
be significant. The fields are already used for daytime sports
activities. The conditions of approval limit the fields to
school use during school hours. There is nothing about the
addition of ball control fencing and bleachers that inherently
suggests a major new draw for sports leagues during off-school
hours. The reconfiguration of the ball fields, with or without
artificial turf, should not generate a significant amount of new
traffic because there will be no increase in the total number of
fields. In any case, it is only the bleachers and fencing
permits that are before the city council for consideration. The
field reconfiguration is not the subject of these applications.
Consequently, the impacts of the bleachers and fencing has to be
considered in terms of how much traffic they would generate in
addition to the traffic generated by ball field reconfiguration.
That amount of traffic is more likely than not negligible.
The applicant represented that it would keep the emergency
access gate closed to motorized vehicular traffic to 102nd Place
West. So, there should be no change from the status quo in that
respect.
As to internal circulation, there is nothing to suggest
that any mitigation or design changes are necessary. The staff
report concludes that internal circulation is adequate because
no changes to internal circulation are proposed. In the absence

of any evidence to the contrary, the staff’s conclusions on this
issue are determinative.
B. Lighting. The proposed findings on this subject have
been withdrawn as a result of the lighting applications being
withdrawn.
C. Noise. As conditioned, the project does not create
significant noise impacts. The City Council has adopted what it
deems to be acceptable noise levels in Chapter 5.30 ECC. ECC
5.30.100(G) currently exempts noise from school or league
sponsored athletic events from the noise level restrictions of
Chapter 5.30 ECC. This should be construed as a legislative
determination that high noise levels from athletic events should
not be construed as significantly detrimental to neighboring
properties. Although the City Council has comprehensively
regulated noise levels in Chapter 5.30 ECC, there is nothing to
suggest that the Council intended these regulations to prevent
the imposition of reasonable noise control measures in the
conditional use review process. Simply because the Council
finds high noise levels from athletic events to be tolerable
doesn’t mean that it would have found it acceptable for these
noise levels to go on for 24 hours a day. The conditions of
approval recommended by staff reasonably limit the noise of the
athletic events by requiring the events to end at ____ p.m.
Coupled with the forested buffer around the athletic fields, the

project has been reasonably designed and conditioned to limit
noise impacts to adjoining property owners to reasonable levels.
In any case, land use applicants cannot vest to standards
expressed in a noise ordinance. If it becomes necessary to
further regulate noise from the ball fields in the future, the
City Council reserves the right to do so.
Mr. Wall’s exhibits, Ex. 5(c), contains a memorandum from
the Greenbusch Group, a consultant with some apparent expertise
in noise impacts. The memorandum notes that the bleachers will
raise the noise level source. It states further that upon
construction of all three phases the long-term use of the fields
includes the potential for four games rather than the existing
two. But it would be speculative and premature to condition
these permits based upon the impacts associated with the future
phases of the long-term project. While noise will increase as a
result of the proposal, higher noise levels are deemed
legislatively acceptable for league and school sponsored
athletic events. The relevant inquiry for noise impacts is
whether all reasonable mitigation measures have been imposed.
The Greenbusch Group memorandum does not identify any additional
reasonable noise conditions that could be imposed upon the
project. As noted above, however, the City Council could further
regulate such noise in the future if necessary.

D. Parking. Parking is adequate as defined by the City’s
legislatively adopted parking standards. Parking for different
uses is regulated by ECDC 17.50.030(C), which provides that the
number of parking stalls must be the sum of the requirements for
different uses. As shown on Attachment 9, there are currently
307 parking stalls on the site. For the school use, 102 parking
stalls are required (1 stall per daytime employee per ECDC
17.50.020(C)(6)). For the playfield use, the requirement for
outdoor places of public assembly in ECDC 17.50.020(C)(1)
applies. This parking requirement indicates: “Outdoor places
of public of assembly, including stadiums and arenas require one
parking space per eight fixed seats or per 100 square feet of
assembly area, whichever is greater.” Using the fixed seat
method, 42 parking stalls would be required for the playfields.
However, using the assembly area method, 137 stalls would be
required based on an estimate of where spectators would most
likely congregate around the fields. Summing the 137 stalls for
playfield use and the 102 stalls for school use equals 239
stalls, 68 less than the 307 existing stalls on the site. The
proposal is also conditioned to provide that fields will not be
scheduled for non-school activities during regular school hours
to reduce conflicts between school and non-school use.
Mr. Wall submitted Ex. 5(D), a statement from Ryan Hague,
along with photographs, identifying that on warm days and during
swim meets, vehicles used by visitors to the Klahaya Swim and

Tennis Club regularly fill both sides of 238th St SW and 104th Ave
W. The vehicles block driveways and sidewalks and obstruct
sight distance at intersections. Mr. Wall submitted these
documents as an example of why a traffic study is necessary.
There is no information in the record to suggest that the
parking standards applied to Klahaya are those that are being
applied to the present proposal. In the absence of any evidence
that the City’s parking standards will prove inadequate for the
ball field proposal or that Klahaya was subject to the same
parking standards, the parking deficiencies of the Klahaya
complex have no relevance to the proposal under consideration.
E. Wildlife. The proposed bleachers will not create any
significant impacts to wildlife. The City Council has adopted
standards deemed adequate to protect wildlife in its critical
area regulations, which includes fish and wildlife habitat
conservation areas. Information in the record suggests that at
least portions of the forested buffer surrounding the project
qualify as fish and wildlife buffers under the critical areas
regulations. The Pilchuck Audubon Society submitted a letter,
Ex. 5(B), suggesting that noise from the field use could
adversely affect bird species in the fish and wildlife habitat
conservation area. The author of the Audubon letter is not
identified and it is unknown if the author has any expertise on
wildlife impacts. In the absence of any expert testimony that
the City’s critical area regulations were not designed to

address the type of wildlife impacts created by the proposal,
the critical areas ordinances are found to adequately protect
wildlife from adverse impacts.
F. Compatibility. Beyond the issues already addressed,
the proposal is compatible with surrounding uses. The 50 to 200
foot-wide buffer surrounding the ball fields is taller than the
proposed 30 foot fencing and bleachers. The proposed ball
control fencing and bleachers in the OS zone will be set back
between 100 and 200 feet from the nearest property line and will
be screened by the forest buffer. Through withdrawal of the
field lighting application, off-site traffic impacts are
mitigated to conform to the City’s level of service and street
standards. Therefore, traffic impacts are deemed compatible with
surrounding uses as well.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Procedural:
1. Decision-making Authority. ECDC 20.01.003
provides that the Hearing Examiner would ordinarily hold a
hearing and issue a final decision on conditional use permit and
variance applications. ECDC 20.01.002(C) requires consolidation
of design review permits with the hearing examiner review of the
conditional use and variance permits. ECDC 17.00.030(C)

requires that the hearing examiner’s authority on variances be
limited to recommendations to the City Council for public
structures and uses. The conditional use and design review
decisions are consolidated along with the variance
recommendations to the City Council per ECDC 20.01.002(C) so
that they are also recommendations to the City Council with the
final decision being made by the City Council on the
consolidated applications.
Substantive:
2. Zoning Designations. Most of the project is
located in the OS zone. The southeastern portion of the project
is located in the RS-8 zone. Bleachers and ball control fencing
are located in both zoning districts.
3. Scope. The applications under review are for
bleachers and ball control fencing. The applications do not
involve the artificial turf contemplated by the applicant to
replace the existing grass fields. The proposed artificial
turf, and particular type of artificial turf, was not a part of
the consolidated application considered by the examiner and its
impacts are beyond the scope of this decision.
4. SEPA Issues. Mr. Wall’s exhibits (Ex. 5) assert
deficiencies in the environmental checklist and environmental

review of the proposal under the Washington State Environmental
Policy Act (“SEPA”). SEPA issues are beyond the scope of the
hearing examiner’s recommendation and this decision. The
examiner and City Council only have jurisdiction to consider a
timely appeal of a SEPA threshold determination or adequacy of
an environmental impact statement. See WAC 197-11-
680(3)(a)(iii). Even that jurisdiction is somewhat questionable
since the applicant as opposed to the City was the SEPA lead
agency in this matter and issued the SEPA threshold
determination. The District provided no administrative appeal
of the SEPA determination, and the City did not assume lead
agency status, so the adequacy of SEPA review is not an issue
subject to consideration. Mr. Wall cites to WAC 197-11-
340(3)(a), which authorizes the lead agency to withdraw a SEPA
determination of nonsignificance (“DNS”) if there is significant
new information or the determination was procured by
misrepresentation or material nondisclosure. In this case the
lead agency is the applicant. The City has no authority to
withdraw or overturn the DNS.
5. Permit Review Criteria. A conditional use permit
is required for the portion of the project in the OS zone for
the bleachers and ball control fencing over 25 feet in height
pursuant to ECDC 16.80.010(C)(3) and ECDC 16.80.010(C)(4). ECDC
16.20.050(B) imposes a maximum height of 15 feet for accessory
structures in the RS-8 zone. Consequently, a variance is needed

applicable criteria are quoted in italics below and applied
through corresponding conclusions of law.

unless all of the findings in this section can be made.
A. That the proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
6. Having now withdrawn the lighting application,
the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. As
noted in the staff report to the Architectural Design Board, the
playfield upgrade project was included in the Parks, Recreation
and Open Space (PROS) Plan adopted by City Council in February
2014 (Attachment 10, page 3). This Plan is adopted by reference
in the Comprehensive Plan and specifically includes Objective
2.E which describes the project:
“Implement previous community process to work with the
Edmonds School District to redevelop the Former Woodway High
School site into a regional sports and recreation asset with
adult soccer/multi-sports turf fields, providing for year-round

recreation options and serving a growing community. Involve the
community in design development.” [Chapter 4: Action Plan, page
4-4]
In addition, staff feels that the proposal is consistent
with the design guidance found in the Community Culture and
Urban Design Element. Refer to Section G of Attachment 10
(pages 3 – 7) for further discussion on how this proposal is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
ECDC 20.05.010(B): Zoning Ordinance. That the proposed
use, and its location, is consistent with the purposes of the
zoning ordinance and the purposes of the zone district in which
the use is to be located, and that the proposed use will meet
all applicable requirements of the zoning ordinance.
7. The staff report analysis of Zoning Ordinance
compliance, located at pages 10-12 of the staff report, is
adopted and incorporated by this reference as if set forth in
full.
ECDC 20.05.010(C): Not Detrimental. That the use, as
approved or conditionally approved, will not be significantly
detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, and to
nearby private property or improvements unless the use is a
public necessity.

8. While the lights may have resulted in a
significant increase in traffic during nighttime hours, that
portion of the proposal has now been withdrawn. Note that the
hearing examiner found this criterion to be not met solely
because of the traffic impacts associated with the lighting.
Because the lighting application has been withdrawn, the City
Council determines that traffic impacts are adequately addressed
and that the criterion quoted above is satisfied and all permits
under the review of this decision should be approved. As
determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, the proposal will not
create any significant adverse impacts now that the lighting
application has been withdrawn.
As to the bleachers and ball control fencing, there are no
impacts associated with those structures that would be
significantly detrimental to public safety and welfare. There
is nothing in the record to reasonably suggest that those
structures, limited to daylight use (without the field lights),
would generate a significant increase in traffic over existing
use. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, there are no other
significant impacts associated with the proposal as proposed and
conditioned. The criterion quoted above is met as to the
bleachers and ball control fencing.

ECDC 20.05.010(D): Transferability. The hearing examiner
shall determine whether the conditional use permit shall run
with the land or shall be personal. If it runs with the land and
the hearing examiner finds it in the public interest, the
hearing examiner may require that it be recorded in the form of
a covenant with the Snohomish County auditor. The hearing
examiner may also determine whether the conditional use permit
may or may not be used by a subsequent user of the same
property.
9. The conditional use permit shall be personal as
requested by the applicant. Given the nature of the impacts
generated by the proposal, it is in the public interest to
maintain ownership of the use in the hands of a public agency
that is accountable to the public. The personal nature of this
conditional use permit, however, shall not prohibit the District
from entering into scheduling agreements for shared use with the
City of Edmonds and youth sports organizations.
VARIANCES
ECDC 20.85.010: No variance may be approved unless all of
the findings in this section can be made.
ECDC 20.85.010.A(1) – Special Circumstances: That, because
of special circumstances relating to the property, the strict

enforcement of the zoning ordinance would deprive the owner of
use rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the
vicinity with the same zoning.
a. Special circumstances include the size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings of the property,
public necessity as of public structures and uses as
set forth in ECDC 17.00.030 and environmental factors
such as vegetation, streams, ponds and wildlife
habitats.
b. Special circumstances should not be predicated upon any
factor personal to the owner such as age or disability,
extra expense which may be necessary to comply with the
zoning ordinance, the ability to secure a scenic view,
the ability to make more profitable use of the
property, nor any factor resulting from the action of
the owner or any past owner of the same property;
10. The criterion is met for the variance because the
ball control fencing is a public necessity, as recognized in the
Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan.
Specifically, Objective 2.E states:
“Implement previous community process to work with the
Edmonds School District to redevelop the Former Woodway High
School site into a regional sports and recreation asset with

adult soccer/multi-sports turf fields, providing for year-round
recreation options and serving a growing community. Involve the
community in design development.” [Chapter 4: Action Plan, page
4-4]
ECDC 20.85.010(B) – Special Privilege: That the approval of
the variance would not be a grant of special privilege to the
property in comparison with the limitations upon other
properties in the vicinity with the same zoning;
11. A height variance for ball control fencing in the
RS-8 zone based on public necessity would not constitute special
privilege. Ball control fencing of a similar height shown on
Sheets F-2.5 and F-2.6 of Attachment 3 is proposed for the OS-
zoned portion of the site (through permit PLN20140067) and
exists at athletic fields on the Edmonds-Woodway High School
campus as well as Meadowdale High School, the new Lynnwood High
School, and other sports field installations throughout the
Puget Sound (Attachment 17 – fence letter).
ECDC 20.85.101€ – Comprehensive Plan: That the approval of
the variance will be consistent with the comprehensive plan;
12. The proposal is consistent with the comprehensive
plan for the reasons identified in Conclusion of Law No. 6.

ECDC 20.85.010(D) – Zoning Ordinance: That the approval of
the variance will be consistent with the purposes of the zoning
ordinance and the zone district in which the property is
located;
13. The proposal is consistent with the purposes of
the RS-8 and OS zones. One of the primary purposes of the
residential zones, as expressed in ECDC 16.10.000, is to protect
residential uses from hazards and nuisances, expressly including
noise. The purpose of the OS zone, as expressed in ECDC
16.65.000, is to designate land acquired by public agencies for
open space uses and to regulate these open space lands
recognizing that they cannot be developed without severe
environmental impacts. The project design and conditions of
approval are designed to provide for compatibility with
residential use as contemplated by ECC 16.10.000. The retention
of the 50 to 200 foot forested buffer surrounding the ball
fields is consistent with the purpose of the OS zone.
ECDC 20.85.010€ – Not Detrimental: That the variance as
approved or conditionally approved will not be significantly
detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare or
injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and
same zone;

14. The criterion is met for the proposed 30-foot
ball control fence variance. Installation of the ball control
fencing is not a pre-requisite to nighttime use and there is
nothing in the record to suggest that the fencing will directly
increase traffic generated by the proposal if it is limited in a
practical sense to daytime use in the absence of field lights.
With the ball field lighting application being withdrawn, the
ball fields will not create any other significant impacts as
determined in Finding of Fact No. 5.
ECDC 20.85.010(F) – Minimum Variance: That the approved
variance is the minimum necessary to allow the owner the rights
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity with the same
zoning.
15. The proposed heights for the ball control fencing
are the minimum necessary to provide for safe and effective ball
field use. The criterion quoted above is met.
As to the ball fields, as detailed in Ex. 1, att. 17, the
30-foot ball field fence height is necessary to protect
adjoining school property users and spectators from errant
balls. As further discussed in Ex. 1, att. 17, the fence height
is consistent with the heights of fencing for ball fields in
numerous other jurisdictions.

Design Review
The findings and conclusions of the planning division on
design review, Ex. 1, att. 10, were adopted by the Architectural
Design Board, the Hearing Examiner, and are adopted by this
decision as well. In addition, this decision adopts the
conditions of approval recommended by the Architectural Design
Board.
DECISION
Having withdrawn the lighting applications, the applicant
has satisfied the general design criteria in ECDC 20.11.030, the
conditional use permit criteria in ECDC 16.80.020 and ECDC
20.05.010, and the variance criteria in ECDC 20.85.010 with
respect to the consolidated application at issue. The findings
contained herein and adopted hereby satisfy the requirements of
ECDC 16.80.020, ECDC 20.05.010, ECDC 20.10.030 and ECDC
20.85.010. The design review, conditional use permit, and
variance are warranted under these circumstances.
For the reasons set forth above, the City Council hereby
APPROVES the applicant’s design review, conditional use permit,
and variance requests. More specifically:
PLN20140065 (Design Review) is approved in its entirety,
except to the extent that it contemplates field lighting.
PLN20140066 (Height variance for ball control fencing in
the RS-8 zone) is approved.

PLN20140067 (Conditional use permit for bleachers,
playfield lighting, and ball control fencing height in the OS
zone) is approved for the bleachers and ball control fencing
with the portion of the application related to field lighting
having been withdrawn by the applicant prior to a final decision
being rendered.
PLN20150009 (Height variance for light poles in the RS-8
zone) was withdrawn by the applicant.
PLN20150013 (Height variance for light poles in the OS
zone) was withdrawn by the applicant.
The approved permits shall be subject to the following
conditions of approval:
1. The ball control fencing in the OS and RS-8 zoned
portions of the project site shall be a maximum of 30 feet in
height as shown on Sheets F-2.5 and F-2.6 of Attachment 3.
2. Fields shall not be scheduled for non-school
activities during regular school hours.
3. The Applicant shall give serious consideration to the
location of the double gate so as to not need to relocate it
once subsequent phases of the project are implemented.
4. The Applicant must apply for and obtain all necessary
permits. This application is subject to the requirements in the
Edmonds Community Development Code. It is up to the Applicant
to ensure compliance with the various provisions contained in
these ordinances.

tie breakers. The fields shall not be used after 10:00 p.m.
under any circumstances.

Information
Subject Title
Discussion and Potential Action on an Ordinance Amending the 2015 Budget
Recommendation
Recommended Motion: Approve the 2015 1st Quarter Budget Amendment Ordinance No. XXXX.
Previous Council Action
Council discussed the 2015 First Quarter Budget Amendment during its April 28, 2015 Council Meeting.
Narrative
There are a total of 14 budget amendments.
Two of the budget amendments have previously been discussed by Council. The first is a request from
the Historic Preservation Fund to transfer General Fund money into the Historic Preservation Fund for
the printing of brochures. The second budget amendment is for the 220th St SW Overlay project.
There are five new budget amendments which reduce the General Fund ending fund balance. Two of the
requests are from the Community Services Department, one for the 125th Anniversary Celebration and
the second an increase to the lobbyist contract. Two of the requests are from the Development Services
Department, one is a request for extra help with the comprehensive plan update and the second is for
increased merchant fees due to increased payments with credit cards. The final request is for the Council
Chambers / Court AV Equipment.
The Equipment Rental Fund has two requests which will reduce the Equipment Rental ending fund
balance. The first request is for a vehicle replacement. The vehicle was totaled in an accident. The City
received insurance money to cover almost half the cost of the vehicle but the remaining amount will use
replacement fund money. The second request is for the replacement of police radios. The radios have a
replacement fund similar to the vehicles.
The remaining budget amendments are offset by either grants or donations, including two General Fund
requests.

The Council allocated $2,000 for the reprinting of an informational brochure for
the Historic Preservation Commission in the 2014 budget. The money could not be
spent in 2014, but the project is still needed. This amendment would re-allocate
the unspent money to the 2015 budget so that the brochures can be reprinted.

If previously discussed, date(s) of discussion:
Merchant fee charges are paid by the department for each transaction by a
customer using a credit card. These fees effectively are deducted from the fees
collected for land-use and building permits. In 2014 the amount of these fees
totalled $10,450. This amendment updates the department budget to reflect these
charges. Staff is developing a plan for compensating for these charges.

If previously discussed, date(s) of discussion:
The 2015 budget included funding for exta help for the Comprehensive Plan update at 20
hours a week. We have found that an additional 10 hours per week is needed through June to
complete this project, including SEPA documentation, and, in July, about 25 hours of planner
assistance is needed to prepare any final Plan changes and submit documentation to state
agencies and PSRC. (Note: Regular full time staff are already pressed with high levels of
permit activitiy, not to mention assisting with long-range projects such as the critical areas
code update, the tree code update, and the major development code update.) To help offset these
cost the City obtained additional funding from the Department of Commerce for the City's
ongoing Rooftop Solar Challenge grant. The amended grant amount for 2015 increases the
grant by an additional $6,000 ($6,000 was already budgeted for 2015, so the amended total
will be $12,000).

Draft Streetscape/Street Trees Element for 2015 Comprehensive Plan Update
Recommendation
Discuss, ask any questions, make comments, or, by consensus, provide direction
Previous Council Action
City Council held an April 21 public hearing on this topic
Narrative
BACKGROUND
Draft updates to the Edmonds Comprehensive Plan are being reviewed and discussed, one element at a time. The drafts, with any
refinements, will be considered all together for adoption in July. The updated Comprehensive Plan is due to the state by mid-year.
STREETSCAPE/STREET TREES ELEMENT
The existing Comprehensive Plan does not contain a special section on streetscape or street trees.
However, one line of the text adopts by reference a 2006 Streetscape Plan prepared by the City's Parks Department. The 2006
Streetscape Plan is available online at the Parks Department webpage:
http://www.edmondswa.gov/images/COE/Government/Departments/Parks_and_Recreation/Documentation/Streetscape_TOTAL_doc.pdf.
It focuses on streetscape concepts for key public areas of the City. Various aspects of that plan need updating, but doing so would take
more time than current resources allow.
Instead, a new section in the Community Culture & Urban Design has been drafted that would bring streetscape and street trees into the
main body of the Comprehensive Plan. (See Attachment 1 for a "clean version" and Attachment 2 for an "edits" version.) Note: This
section was noted as a placeholder, but not discussed, during the City Council's previous review of the Culture & Urban Design Element.
At that time, the section was not ripe for discussion because it had not been fully reviewed by the Planning Board or Tree Board.
Thus, the current proposal is to:
A. Add a new section directly into the Comprehensive Plan about streetscape/street trees goals and policies (per Attachments 1 and 2).
B. Add two implementation strategies to the Comprehensive Plan element covering streetscape/street trees (per Attachments 1 and 2), as
follows
(1) Develop and update to the Street Tree Plan by the end of 2016.
(2) Develop an Urban Forest Management Plan by the end of 2017.
C. Make minor amendments to the Street Trees appendix included in the Streetscape Plan to allow better performing trees along certain
streets (See Attachments 3 and 4);
D. Don't adopt by reference the Streetscape Plan (with minor Street Trees amendments) but include it as an appendix to the
Comprehensive Plan for the 2015 update;
PLANNING BOARD AND TREE BOARD INPUT
The Planning Board Community Culture & Urban Design Element discussed the "Streetscape and Street Trees" section of the
Community Culture & Urban Design Element on March 11 and April 8. (See Planning Board minutes, Attachments 5 and 6.)
The Tree Board discussed the same material on April 9. (Tree Board minutes were not available when this memo was being prepared.)

The Tree Board discussed the same material on April 9. (Tree Board minutes were not available when this memo was being prepared.)
Packet Page 306 of 400
Both bodies found acceptable the proposed general goals and policies for the main part of the Comprehensive Plan (Attachment 1). They
also recognized that the Street Tree Plan appendix needed more updating but that with the short timeframe available this year, the minor
proposed amendments for it were acceptable.
CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING
The City Council reviewed the proposal for streetscape and street trees, asked questions, and heard comments at a public hearing on
April 28. [Note: Some interest was expressed in testimony for adding language about views. Additional information or a policy about
views could be added to a later version of the streetscape/street tree element as it goes through any refinements. For example, here is a
possible policy that could be added: View corridors may be considered as a factor when selecting and maintaining trees in the public
realm. A Councilmember also commented that photos of street trees would be helpful. This can be accomplished through the addition of
illustrative photos in the Streetscape Plan as it is updated in the near future.]

C.2 Site Design. Site design should allow for vechicular access and parking as well as
safe access and circulation for pedestrians. Whenever possible, sites should provide
connections between adjacent businesses and between businesses and nearby
residential neighborhoods.
C.3 Landscaping and Buffering. Landscaping, fencing or other appropriate techniques
should be used to soften the street front of sites and also used to buffer more
intensive uses from adjoining less intensive use areas (e.g. buffer commercial from
residential development).
Urban Design Goal D: Neighborhood Commercial Areas. Design in neighborhood commercial
areas should seek to support the function of the neighborhood center while paying close attention to
its place within the neighborhood setting.
D.1 Landscape and Buffering. Special attention should be paid to transitions from
commercial development to surrounding residential areas, using landscaping and/or
gradations in building scale to provide compatible development.
Streetscape and Street Trees
General. “Streetscape” is a term that refers to the street environment, often including pedestrian features,
landscaping, lighting, pavement materials, and signage. The streetscape plays an important role in the
livability and character of Edmonds. Public streets, with their associated walkways and pedestrian spaces,
provide the places for people to interact with their neighbors, accommodate public events and commerce,
promote human needs for enjoyment and exercise including arts and aesthetics, and can improve the
ecological function of the city. When designed properly, the streetscape complements the urban design
elements incorporated into the development of private property.
A Streetscape Plan was developed in 2002 by the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department
and updated in 2006. It focused on the public realm along streets, certain areas of the City such as the 4th
Avenue Arts Corridor, Highway 99 International area, and downtown.
In 2011, the City adopted a ‘Complete Streets’ program that prioritizes accommodating the needs of all
users – including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit and individual vehicles – in transportation projects. The
intent is to create safe environments for people of all ages and abilities while improving transportation
options and connections between the City’s destinations and centers of activity. A complete streets
approach can improve the ability of residents and visitors to experience the City in a variety of ways
while improving environmental quality, enhancing economic activity, and promoting healthy lifestyle.
Where feasible, street trees or other landscaping located between the travel lane and the sidewalk can
improve the pedestrian experience.

Streetscape and Street Trees
General. “Streetscape” is a term that refers to the street environment, often including pedestrian features,
landscaping, lighting, pavement materials, and signage. The streetscape plays an important role in the
livability and character of Edmonds. Public streets, with their associated walkways and pedestrian spaces,
provide the places for people to interact with their neighbors, accommodate public events and commerce,
promote human needs for enjoyment and exercise including arts and aesthetics, and can improve the
ecological function of the city. When designed properly, the streetscape complements the urban design
elements incorporated into the development of private property.
A Streetscape Plan was developed in 2002 by the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department
and updated in 2006. It focused on the public realm along streets, certain areas of the City such as the 4th
Avenue Arts Corridor, Highway 99 International area, and downtown.
In 2011, the City adopted a ‘Complete Streets’ program that prioritizes accommodating the needs of all

Street Tree Plan: Draft 2015 Updates
Key Map Changes for 2015
• Cleaned up the color palette to improve the Plan’s readability
• Shortened the designated corridor for Main Street east of downtown. Previous plan indicated
planting the entire corridor between Five Corners and downtown. New map stops at 9th Ave S.
due to concerns about lack of space to plant trees.
• Changed the following species due to concerns listed:
o Prunus sargentii ‘Columnaris’ / Sargents Cherry replaced with Acer rubrum ‘Bowhall’ /
Bowhall Maple in Civic Center
Concerns: Poor performance, prone to disease, difficult to prune.
o Prunus serrulata ‘Kwanson’ / Kwanson Flowering Cherry replaced with Pyrus
colleryana ‘Capital’ / Capital Pear along Main Street
Concerns: Irregular shape, difficult to prune, disease and pest problems.
o Carpinus betulus ‘Fastigiata’ / Pyramidal European Hornbeam replaced with Pyrus
colleryana ‘Capital’ / Capital Pear on northern portion of 3rd Ave. S
Concerns: Poor performance. Shopkeepers did not like due to obscuring storefronts.
o Fraximus Pennsylvania ‘Summit’ / Summit Ash replaced with Acer Rubrum ‘Karpick’ /
Karpick Maple from along 4th Ave. S. from SR-104 to start of 4th Ave. Cultural Corridor
Concerns: Height and width (60’ x 50’) concerns at maturity.
o Changed the 4th Ave. Cultural Corridor from Fraximus Pennsylvania ‘Summit’ / Summit
Ash to mix of tree species as identified in the 4th Ave Cultural Corridor Plan (2009) and
4th Ave. Arts Corridor (currently appx. E of Streetscape Plan)
Concerns: Consistency with other documents.

Comprehensive Plan, but there is no “values” element. He advised that the Development Services Director would like to
conduct a City visioning process, but this will take a tremendous amount of time and effort, and will not be part of the current
update.
Chair Tibbott commented that improving the physical character of Edmonds assumes the City has values. Articulating the
community’s values and choices about the character of Edmonds will be an evolving conversation, and bringing the issue to
the forefront as part of the Board’s discussion about design and streetscape is appropriate. He said he hopes the City Council
and public will comment regarding community values as they review the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan.
Vice Chair Lovell recalled that there are at least two specific examples of recent developments on SR-104 that were criticized
relative to design. He asked if the Architectural Design Board (ADB) reviewed both of the projects. Mr. Chave answered
that the ADB did review the Compass Development, but he is not sure design review was required for the daycare building.
He recalled that the concerns relative to the Compass Development were more about bulk and configuration than design, and
the Development Code was recently amended to address the problems.
DISCUSSION ON DRAFT STREETSCAPE AND STREET TREE PLANS
Board Member Rubenkonig referred to the list of key changes to the Street Tree Map (Attachment 3) and requested more
background information about the term “poor performance.” She also asked who guided the replacement schedule. Mr.
Chave answered that the proposed changes to the Street Tree Map was drafted by Rich Lindsey, Parks Maintenance Manager,
and Engineering Department staff. These two groups reviewed the existing Street Tree Plan and Street Tree Map and
considered how successful or unsuccessful the tree species had been. In some situations, they found that the tree species
were inappropriate for the location and that they impacted the infrastructure. Board Member Rubenkonig asked who
proposed the replacement species. Mr. Chave said the same staff team identified the replacement species. Based on their
experience, these are tree species that have been shown to be successful. Board Member Rubenkonig said she would have
liked to hear that a landscape architect had provided input. However, she supports the input from staff as it is likely the
recommended species are already used successful in the City. Mr. Chave advised that the draft Street Tree Plan will be
presented to the Tree Board for feedback, as well.
Vice Chair Lovell also referred to Attachment 3, which explains the changes that have been proposed based on concerns
about poor performance, irregular shape, difficulty pruning, disease and pest problems, and height and width concerns at
maturity. It does not mention problems that occur when roots grow so large they heave up the sidewalks. Mr. Chave said
that, although it is not listed in Attachment 3 as a specific concern, he knows it was considered by the staff team when
drafting the proposed changes. Vice Chair Lovell voiced support for a gradual program of replacing trees that interfere with
the sidewalk, are difficult to maintain, grow too large, perform poorly, etc. However, he expressed concern that there could
be an overwhelming desire to save every tree in downtown Edmonds irrespective of the risk it may impose to the residents,
buildings and infrastructure.
Mr. Chave explained that all three maps were provided to illustrate the different versions of the map. Board Member Stewart
asked Mr. Chave to describe the differences between the 2006, 2010 and 2015 Street Tree Maps. He explained that the maps
are more similar than different, but there were some changes to the list of tree species. Student Representative Zhao noted
that a species is spelled “Ginko Biloba” on the 2006 Street Tree Map and “Ginkgo Biloba” on the 2015 Street Tree Map.
Board Member Rubenkonig observed that (Capital Pear) is the species called out in the existing plan for 3rd Avenue, and it
would remain the same. As per the proposed plan, Capital Pear would also be located on Main Street from the Ferry
Terminal to 5th Avenue. She noted that the existing trees have started to bloom. They are lovely and tend to guide people
down 3rd Avenue. Bowhall Maple is identified for Main Street from 5th Avenue to 9th Avenue. This is a beautiful, statuesque
tree that has presence. It does not continue all the way down Main Street to the Ferry Terminal because it would likely grow
too large for the constrained area in the downtown and waterfront. She said she would like an opportunity to have a
discussion with someone who can describe how the proposed plan is intended to flow and give importance to the different
areas. Mr. Chave suggested the Board could ask Mr. Lindsey, who has on-the-ground experience with street trees, to be part
of their next discussion. Chair Tibbott said it would also be helpful for Mr. Lindsey to provide pictures of the different tree
species.

Mr. Chave summarized that the original Street Tree Plan was prepared by a landscape architectural firm. The intent was not
to redo the plan, but to make a few adjustments where they know things are not working. He advised that the original plan
that was prepared by the landscape architect is available for the Board’s review. Board Member Rubenkonig suggested that
reviewing the original plan could provide additional understanding as to why the Street Tree Map is the way it is.
Chair Tibbott noted that, as per the Extended Agenda, the Board would continue its review of the draft Street Tree Plan on
March 25th. Vice Chair Lovell asked if this would be sufficient time for the Tree Board to review the Street Tree Plan and
provide feedback to the Board. Mr. Chave noted that the Tree Board is not scheduled to meet again until April. He agreed to
talk with the Development Services Director to find out if she is anxious to forward the Street Tree Plan to the City Council
as soon as possible or if it could wait until the Tree Board has provided feedback. He said he would be very surprised if the
Tree Board recommends major changes to the Street Tree Plan, but their comments would be helpful to the process. He
summarized that, given the Board’s comments, he is not sure there is much more they can do until the Tree Board has
reviewed the document and provided feedback. The Board agreed to remove the discussion related to the draft Street Tree
Plan from the March 25th agenda. They further agreed to review the draft Street Tree Plan again in April after the Tree
Board’s review.
Mr. Chave specifically referred to the goals and policies related to Streetscape and Street Trees found in the draft Community
Culture and Urban Design Element (Attachment 2). He specifically noted that Policies A.5 and A.6 address the issue Vice
Chair Lovell raised earlier about street trees that impact the public infrastructure.
REVIEW OF EXTENDED AGENDA
The Board tentatively scheduled its retreat for July 8th, and Chair Tibbott invited Board Members to forward their suggestions
for agenda topics. It was noted that a briefing on the Marina Beach Master Plan is scheduled for that evening and could be
added as part of the retreat agenda.
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR REPORT TO PLANNING BOARD
Chair Tibbott referred to the written report provided by the Development Services Director.
Vice Chair Lovell specifically referred to the report relative to the Community Profile Brochure that was prepared to
highlight some key demographic facts about Edmonds. He said he obtained a copy of the brochure at the open house that
took place prior to the Board’s regular meeting. He noted that the information in the brochure would also be posted on the
City’s website. He expressed his belief that the brochure is an excellent public relations tool.
Board Member Rubenkonig said it was wonderful to hear about the City’s progress in reducing the greenhouse gasses
attributed to City facilities by 26.4%.
Chair Tibbott voiced appreciation for the report, which summarizes the activities taking place around the City, as well as
neighboring jurisdictions. The information is helpful to the Board Members.
DEVELOPMENT CODE MAJOR UPDATE: PROGRESS REPORT
Mr. Chave referred to the written report prepared by the Development Services Director to keep the Board informed of the
ongoing process to update the Comprehensive Plan.
PLANNING BOARD CHAIR COMMENTS
Chair Tibbott announced that he and Vice Chair Lovell would present the Planning Board’s quarterly report to the City
Council on March 17th. He advised that Vice Chair Lovell prepared a PowerPoint presentation to highlight the Board’s

UPDATE ON DRAFT STREETSCAPE AND STREET TREE PLANS
Mr. Chave reviewed that the Board last discussed the Streetscape and Streetscape section of the Community Culture and
Urban Design Element on March 11th. At that time, they agreed to continue their discussion after the Tree Board met on
April 2nd. They also requested that staff provide additional information to support the proposed changes in tree species. He
reported that the Tree Board’s meeting was postponed from April 2nd to April 9th, so they have not yet had an opportunity to
Packet Page 319 of 400
review the plan and provided feedback. However, he advised that Rich Lindsey, Parks Maintenance Manager, was present to
address questions and provide additional information related to the proposed changes to street tree species.
Mr. Lindsey explained that the City’s Street Tree Plan was originally adopted in 2002. Since that time, it has been
determined that some of the species identified in the plan did not work well as street trees. For example, staff is proposing
that the Columnar Sargent Cherry be replaced with Columnar Bowhall Maple. He explained that Columnar Bowhall Maples
have proven to be very resilient, with brilliant spring, summer and fall colors. They are very low maintenance and disease
and drought resistant, as well as slow growing and easy to prune and shape. They are also thornless, fruitless, resistant to
pests, and the roots are non-invasive. They have done well in other areas of the City, and staff believes they would result in a
cost savings from a maintenance point of view.
Mr. Lindsey said staff is also proposing to replace the Kwanson Flowering Cherry species. Although this species is beautiful
in park-like settings, they do not make good street trees. Street trees must be pruned on a regular basis, and pruning of this
species causes the trunk to become enlarged. In addition, the roots become aggressive and cause sidewalks to lift. These
trees have done a lot of damage throughout the City. At the Tree Board’s next meeting, he will propose that this species be
replaced with Capital Pear, which is very similar to a Columnar Bowhall Maple. Capital Pear trees are very tough and have
white flowers in the spring, shiny green leaves in the summer and read and purples leaves in the fall. They are draught and
disease tolerant and resistant to breakage. They are also slow growing.
Chair Tibbott asked if staff could provide pictures of the species identified in the plan. He suggested the City Council would
likely be very interested in seeking samples of the species of trees that are currently being recommended. He expressed
appreciation for the work the staff and Tree Board have done to select trees that are compatible with the sidewalks, easy to
maintain, etc.
Board Member Robles referred to the Columnar Sargent Maple Trees that are planted in front of City Hall, and noted that the
sun conditions in this location are substantially different than in other areas of the City. The lack of morning and evening sun
could tax any tree species. Mr. Lindsey agreed but said he believes the Columnar Bowhall Maple species have proven to be a
good tree in any type of sun condition.
Board Member Rubenkonig recalled that, at their last discussion relative to the Street Tree Plan, it was noted that
shopkeepers do not like a particular species of tree. She asked how members of the community can express their disinterest
in a tree species. Mr. Lindsey said he deals with public complaints relative to street trees, especially pruning, on a regular
basis. The goal is to select species that are hardy and slow growing so they do not disrupt pedestrian access or block views.
Chair Tibbott asked if Mr. Lindsey is confident that the recommended species will fit the maintenance criteria outlined for
the City, will be compatible with surrounding vegetation, and will result in satisfactory landscaping design that fits the
circumstances and can be approved by the City. Mr. Lindsey said he is comfortable that the proposed species meet all of
these criteria.
Board Member Rubenkonig noted that the proposed Tree Code calls for the City to complete an Urban Forest Management
Plan (UFMP) by the end of 2017. Mr. Chave said that is an action item included in the draft Tree Code. Board Member
Rubenkonig said it seems out of sync to adopt a new Tree Code prior to the completion of the UFMP. Board Member
Cloutier recalled that the Board previously indicated preference for completing the UFMP prior to adopting the new Tree
Code. Chair Tibbott questioned if it would be acceptable for the Board to postpone any action on the draft Tree Code until a
UFMP has been completed. Mr. Chave agreed that would be within the scope of what the Board could recommend to the
City Council. For example, the Board could specifically ask that funding for the UFMP become a priority. He suggested
they could discuss the options in more detail when Mr. Lien returns with the collective comments submitted to date by the
Board Members. He noted that the draft Tree Code indicates that the UFMP should be completed by the end of 2017; it
doesn’t say the City must wait until the end of 2017. The goal is to provide flexibility to accommodate funding
opportunities, but the UFMP must be completed by a specific date.
Mr. Chave reminded the Board that the City Council is supposed to take action on the Comprehensive Plan in June of 2015.
If the Board is far enough along in its review of the draft Tree Code to agree that the priority belongs with the UFMP, they
could make that suggestion as part of their recommendation to the City Council relative to the Comprehensive Plan update.
Packet Page 320 of 400
Board Member Stewart referred to the most recent draft of the Street Tree Plan and noted that the comments she submitted to
staff in writing since the last meeting have not been incorporated. Mr. Chave clarified that no changes were made to the
Street Tree Plan since it was last reviewed by the Board. Staff is waiting for feedback from the Tree Board, as well as written
feedback from Board Members before updating the document for the Board’s continued review.
2015 TRANSPORTATION PLAN (DRAFT PROJECT LIST/LEVEL OF SERVICE)
Mr. Hauss reviewed that the City has been working with consultants from Fehr and Peers since last October to update the
City’s Transportation Plan. He reminded the Board that the draft goals and policies for the Transportation Plan were
presented on February 11th, and tonight’s discussion will focus on the first draft of the project list to be included in the 2015
Transportation Element update, as well as the draft Level of Service (LOS) Standards to be considered for each travel mode.
He noted that the Transportation Committee, Walkway Committee and Edmonds Bicycle Club have reviewed the draft
project list, as well. He advised that the draft project list and LOS Standards would be presented to the City Council in a few
weeks.
Chair Tibbott commented that it would be helpful to understand the difference between LOS A and LOS D. If it is
essentially based on the amount of time spent at an intersection, then perhaps it would be helpful to provide some quantitative
information. Mr. Hauss replied that a description of the LOS ratings and how they were applied throughout the City would
be provided as a figure in the Transportation Plan.
Board Member Rubenkonig recalled that the Board previously reviewed the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which ranks
projects based on roadway conditions and the functionality of the roadway rather than LOS. Board Member Cloutier pointed
out that many of the roadway projects identified in the CIP are intended to address LOS issues, such as the Five Corners
Roundabout.
Mr. Samdahl emphasized that the Growth Management Act (GMA) requires cities to set LOS standards for arterials and
transit routes. The regional planning process also anticipates that cities will set similar LOS standards for bicycles and
pedestrians. He explained that LOS is basically a measure of a facility’s quality of service. In the case of roadways, the
scale uses A through F. An LOS A means that the average delay when approaching an intersection is virtually zero, and an
LOS D means that an intersection is not quite failing, but the average delay is about 50 seconds. LOS F indicates extreme
congestion with delays in excess of one and even two minutes. He advised that, consistent with the City’s current LOS
standards, the draft Transportation Plan identifies a standard of LOS D or better for arterials and LOS C or better for collector
streets.
Mr. Samdahl pointed out that standards for State Routes are different; and currently, the State has identified a standard of
LOS E or better for SR-524 and Highway 99 north of SR-104. SR-104 and Highway 99 south of SR-104 have been
designated as Highways of Statewide Significance, meaning that they are controlled by the state and connect major
destinations. No City standard is defined for these roadways, which are not subject to concurrency. However, to monitor
operations on Highways of Statewide Significance, the plan identifies existing and potential future deficiencies, as well as
improvements that might be needed, if the State’s standard is exceeded.
Mr. Samdahl explained that the proposed roadway projects were analyzed based on LOS and/or safety. He referred to Figure
1, which shows the existing LOS at intersections within the City. He summarized that all intersections currently meet the
City’s adopted LOS standard; and with the exception of the intersection at 238th Street Southwest and SR-104, all
intersections on Highways of Statewide Significance met the State’s LOS standard. Mr. Samdahl also referred to Figure 2,
which illustrates the anticipated 2035 LOS conditions, both with and without improvements, based on growth forecasts for
the City and the region over the next 20 years. He summarized that, without improvements, several intersections are
anticipated to exceed the City’s LOS Standard. For those intersections that would not meet the City’s LOS standard, projects
were identified to improve the conditions (Table 2). With the exception of the intersection at Highway 99 and 212th Street
Southwest, the proposed improvements would get all intersections operating satisfactorily within the standard. While
improvements have been proposed for the intersection of Highway 99 and 212th Street Southwest to make the situation better,
widening the highway to provide additional lanes would be needed to fully address the issue. In discussions with both the

Approval of Mandatory Right of Way Dedication for Vehrs Short Plat
Recommendation
Accept the street dedication and authorize Mayor to sign the short plat documents accepting the street
dedication.
Previous Council Action
None.
Narrative
On October 21, 2014, the Vehrs 3-lot short plat located at 1040 6th Ave S, received preliminary short
plat approval. The official street map for the City of Edmonds indicates a 60-foot wide right-of-way
along 6th Ave S, adjacent to the subject property. As shown in Attachment 1, the survey prepared for the
development indicates a 55-foot right-of-way (25-feet on the west side of 6th Ave S) at this location. As
such, a 5-foot street dedication was required as a condition of approval. After receiving authorization
from the City Council to accept the dedication and for the Mayor to sign the face of the short plat
documents, the 5-foot street dedication will be deeded to the City of Edmonds upon recording of the short
plat with Snohomish County.

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

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

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD
Citizen Don Hall stated that he agreed with Council Member Plunkett that some of the code of ethics policies from
other cities that he had come across did appear to be too subjective. Citizen Hall further stated that he became
more interested in this topic of discussion after it was discovered that Council Members were not considered to be
employees of the City and are not held to the same City Personnel Policy standards although [perhaps] they should
be. This process will likely require a lot of “hands on” work and will be a difficult process.
The meeting adjourned at 7:44 pm

CHAPTER X
EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES AND CODE OF ETHICS
10.1 GENERAL CODE OF CONDUCT The City’s primary function is to provide
service to the citizens of Edmonds. To achieve that goal, all employees are expected to
treat the public as their most valued customer. All employees are expected to serve the
public in a professional manner, which is courteous, efficient and helpful. Employees
must maintain a clean and neat appearance appropriate to their work assignment, as
determined by their position and department head.
Since the proper working relationship between employees and the City depends on
each employee's on-going job performance, professional conduct and behavior, the City
has established certain minimum standards of personal and professional conduct.
Among the City's expectations are: tact and courtesy towards the public and fellow
employees; adherence to City policies, procedures, safety rules and safe work
practices; compliance with directions from supervisors; preserving and protecting the
City's equipment, grounds, facilities and resources; and providing orderly and cost
efficient services to its citizens. In addition, all persons representing the City of
Edmonds are expected to conduct business in the following manner:
All persons, representing the City of Edmonds, shall conduct business in a
professional manner, respecting all citizens’ rights, and showing courtesy to all.
Their actions shall be conducted within compliance of the laws and regulations
governing the City’s actions, including but not limited to RCW Title 42.
City representatives are expected to conduct business in an open manner.
They shall not engage in any conduct which would reflect unfavorably upon City
government or any of the services it provides.
They must avoid any action which might result in or create the impression of
using their position for private gain, giving preferential treatment or privileged
information to any person, or losing impartiality in conducting the City’s business.
10.2 OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Employees
shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any outside employment or financial interest
which may conflict, in the City's opinion, with the best interests of the City or interfere
with the employee's ability to perform his/her assigned City job. Examples include, but
are not limited to, outside employment which:
Packet Page 350 of 400
54
(1) prevents the employee from being available for work beyond normal
working hours, such as emergencies or peak work periods, when such
availability is a regular part of the employee's job;
(2) is conducted during the employee's work hours;
(3) utilizes City telephones, computers, supplies, credit, or any other
resources, facilities or equipment;
(4) is employed with a firm which has contracts with or does business with the
City; or
(5) may reasonably be perceived by members of the public as a conflict of
interest or otherwise discredits public service.
10.3 REPORTING IMPROPER GOVERNMENT ACTION In compliance with the
Local Government Employee Whistleblower Protection Act, RCW 42.41.050, this policy
is created to encourage employees to disclose any improper governmental action taken
by city officials or employees without fear of retaliation. This policy also safeguards
legitimate employer interests by encouraging complaints to be made first to the City,
with a process provided for speedy dispute resolution.
Key Definitions:
Improper Governmental Action is any action by a city officer or employee that is:
(1) undertaken in the performance of the official's or employee's official
duties, whether or not the action is within the scope of the employee's
employment, and
(2) in violation of any federal, state or local law or rule, is an abuse of
authority, is of substantial and specific danger to the public health or
safety, or is a gross waste of public funds.
(3) "improper governmental action" does not include personnel actions (hiring,
firing, complaints, promotions, reassignment, for example). In addition,
employees are not free to disclose matters that would affect a person's
right to legally protected confidential communications.
City employees who become aware of improper governmental action should follow this
procedure:
Bring the matter to the attention of his/her supervisor, if non-involved, in writing,
stating in detail the basis for the employee's belief that an improper action has
occurred. This should be done as soon as the employee becomes aware of the
improper action.
Packet Page 351 of 400
55
Where the employee believes the improper action involves their supervisor, the
employee may raise the issue directly with Human Resources, their Department
Director or the Mayor. Where the employee believes the improper action involves
the Mayor, the employee may raise the issue with Human Resources or the City
Attorney.
The Mayor or his/her designee, as the case may be, shall promptly investigate the
report of improper government action. After the investigation is completed (within
thirty (30) days of the employee's report), the employee shall be advised of the
results of the investigation, except that personnel actions taken as a result of the
investigation may be kept confidential.
An employee who fails to make a good faith effort to follow this policy shall not be
entitled to the protection of this policy against retaliation, pursuant to RCW 42.41.030.
In the case of an emergency, where the employee believes that damage to persons or
property may result if action is not taken immediately, the employee may bypass the
above procedure and report the improper action directly to the appropriate government
agency responsible for investigating the improper action. For the purposes of this
section, an emergency is a circumstance that if not immediately changed may cause
damage to persons or property.
Employees may report information about improper governmental action directly to an
outside agency if the employee reasonably believes that an adequate investigation was
not undertaken by the City to determine whether an improper government action
occurred, or that insufficient action was taken by the City to address the improper action
or that for other reasons the improper action is likely to recur. Outside agencies to
which reports may be directed include:
Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney Washington State Auditor

If the above-listed agencies do not appear to appropriate in light of the nature of the
improper action to be reported, contact information for other state and county agencies
may be obtained via the following link: http://access.wa.gov/agency/agency.aspx. It is
unlawful for a local government to take retaliatory action because an employee, in good
faith, provided information that improper government action occurred. Retaliatory
Packet Page 352 of 400
56
Action is any material adverse change in the terms and conditions of an employee's
employment. Employees who believe they have been retaliated against for reporting an
improper government action should follow this procedure:
Procedure for Seeking Relief against Retaliation :
(1) Employees must provide a written complaint to the supervisor within thirty
(30) days of the occurrence of the alleged retaliatory action. If the
supervisor is involved, the notice should go to the Mayor. If the Mayor is
involved, the notice should go to the City Attorney. The written charge
shall specify the alleged retaliatory action and the relief requested.
(2) The Mayor or his/her designee, as the case may be, shall investigate the
complaint and respond in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
written charge. Additional time to respond may be necessary depending
on the nature and complexity of the complaint.
(3) After receiving the City's response, the employee may request a hearing
before a state administrative law judges (ALJ) to establish that a
retaliatory action occurred and to obtain appropriate relief under the law.
The request for hearing must be delivered within the earlier of either
fifteen (15) days of receipt of the City's response to the charge of
retaliatory action or forty-five (45) days of receipt of the charge of
retaliation to the Mayor for response.
(4) Within five (5) working days of receipt of a request for hearing the City
shall apply to the State Office of Administrative Hearing's for an
adjudicative proceeding before an administrative law judge.

360.664.8721 Fax
(5) At the hearing, the employee must prove that a retaliatory action occurred
by a preponderance of the evidence in the hearing. The ALJ will issue a
final decision not later than forty-five (45) days after the date of the
request for hearing, unless an extension is granted.
The Mayor or designee is responsible for implementing these policies and procedures.
This includes posting the policy on the City bulletin board, making the policy available to
any employee upon request, and providing the policy to all newly hired employees.
Officers, managers and supervisors are responsible for ensuring the procedures are
fully implemented within their areas of responsibility.
Packet Page 353 of 400
57
Violations of this policy and these procedures may result in appropriate disciplinary
action, up to and including dismissal.
10.4 POLITICAL ACTIVITIES City employees may participate in political or partisan
activities of their choosing provided that City resources and property are not utilized,
and the activity does not adversely affect the responsibilities of the employees in their
positions. Employees may not campaign on City time or in a City uniform or while
representing the City in any way. Employees may not allow others to use City facilities
or funds for political activities without a paid rental agreement.
Any City employee who meets with or may be observed by the public or otherwise
represents the City to the public, while performing his/her regular duties, may not wear
or display any button, badge or sticker relevant to any candidate or ballot issue during
working hours. Employees shall not solicit, on City property or City time, for a
contribution for a partisan political cause.
Except as noted in this policy, City employees are otherwise free to fully exercise their
constitutional First Amendment rights.
10.5 NO SMOKING POLICY The City maintains a smoke-free workplace. No
smoking of tobacco products or electronic smoking devices is permitted anywhere in the
City’s buildings or vehicles, and offices or other facilities rented or leased by the City. If
an employee chooses to smoke, it must be done outside at least 25 feet from
entrances, exits, windows that open, and ventilation air intakes.
10.6 PERSONAL POSSESSIONS AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
The City cannot assume responsibility for any theft or damage to the personal
belongings of City employees. Therefore, the City requests that employees avoid
bringing valuable personal articles to work. Employees are solely responsible for
ensuring that their personal belongings are secure while at work. Employees should
have no expectation of privacy as to any items or information generated/stored on City
systems. Employees are advised that work-related searches of an employee’s work
area, workspace, computer and electronic mail on the City’s property may be conducted
without advance notice. The City reserves the right to search employee desks, lockers
and personal belongings brought onto City premises if necessary. Employees who do
not consent to inspections may be subject to discipline, up to and including immediate
termination.
Please see Attachment A - INFORMATION SERVICES - ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY -
for guidelines on use of City computers.
10.7 USE OF TELEPHONES AND CITY VEHICLES Use of City phones and
City cellular phones for local personal phone calls and text messaging should be kept to
a minimum; long distance personal use is prohibited. Other City equipment, including
vehicles, should be used by employees for City business only, unless otherwise
Packet Page 354 of 400
58
approved by the Department Director. Employees' misuse of City services, telephones,
vehicles, equipment or supplies can result in disciplinary action up to and including
termination. The City reminds employees that Washington state law restricts the use of
cell phones and PDA’s while driving. Employees must comply with applicable laws
while engaging in work for the City.
10.8 BULLETIN BOARDS Information of special interest to all employees is
posted regularly on the City bulletin boards. Employees may not post any information
on these bulletin boards without the authorization of the Department Head.
10.9 MEDIA RELATIONS The Mayor or designated department heads shall be
responsible for all official contacts with the news media during working hours, including
answering of questions from the media. The Mayor or department head may designate
specific employees to give out procedural, factual or historical information on particular
subjects.
10.10 USE OF SAFETY BELTS Per Washington law, anyone operating or riding in
City vehicles must wear seat belts at all times.
10.11 DRIVER'S LICENSE REQUIREMENTS As part of the requirements for
certain specific City positions, an employee may be required to hold a valid Washington
State Driver's license and/or a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). If an employee fails
his or her CDL physical examination or the license is revoked, suspended or lost, or is
in any other way not current, valid, and in the employee's possession, the employee
shall promptly notify his/her department head and will be immediately suspended from
driving duties. The employee may not resume driving until proof of a valid, current
license is provided to his/her department head. Depending on the duration of license
suspension, revocation or other inability to drive, an employee may be subject to
disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Failure on the part of an employee
to notify their department director of the revocation, suspension, or loss of driving
privileges may subject the employee to disciplinary action, up to and including
termination.
10.12 SOLICITATIONS Most forms of selling and solicitations are inappropriate in
the workplace. They can be an intrusion on employees and citizens and may present a
risk to employee safety or to the security of City or employee property. The following
limitations apply:
Persons not employed by the City may not solicit, survey, petition, or distribute literature
on our premises at any time. This includes persons soliciting for charities,
salespersons, questionnaire surveyors, labor union organizers, or any other solicitor or
distributor. Exceptions to this rule may be made in special circumstances where the
City determines that an exception would serve the best interests of the organization and
our employees. An example of an exception might be the United Way campaign or a
similar, community-based fund raising effort.
Packet Page 355 of 400
59
Employees may not solicit for any purpose during work time. Reasonable forms of
solicitation are permitted during non-work time, such as before or after work or during
meal or break periods. Soliciting employees who are on non-work time may not solicit
other employees who are on work time. Employees may not distribute literature for any
purpose during work time or in work areas, or through the City’s electronic systems.
The employee lunchroom is considered a non-work area under this policy.
10.13 USE OF CITY CREDIT Unless otherwise authorized by City policy or
specifically authorized by the Mayor, no City employee is authorized to commit the City
to any contractual agreement, especially an agreement that lends the City’s credit in
any way. Employees are prohibited from conducting personal business with companies
in any way which improperly implies the employee is acting as an agent of the City.
10.14 SUBSTANCE ABUSE The City's philosophy on substance abuse has two
focuses: (1) a concern for the well being of the employee and (2) a concern for the
safety of other employees and members of the public.
As part of our employee assistance program, we encourage employees who are
concerned about their alcohol or drug use to seek counseling, treatment and
rehabilitation. Although the decision to seek diagnosis and accept treatment is
completely voluntary, the City is fully committed to helping employees who voluntarily
seek assistance to overcome substance abuse problems. In most cases, the expense
of treatment may be fully or partially covered by the City's benefit program. Please see
the EAP counselor for more information. In recognition of the sensitive nature of these
matters, all discussions will be kept confidential. Employers who seek advice or
treatment will not be subject to retaliation or discrimination.
Although the City is concerned with rehabilitation, it must be understood that disciplinary
action may be taken when an employee's job performance is impaired because he/she
is under the influence of drugs or alcohol on the job. The City may discipline or
terminate an employee possessing, consuming, selling or using alcohol, or controlled
substances (other than legally prescribed) during work hours or on City premises,
including break times and meal periods. The City may also discipline or terminate an
employee who reports for duty or works under the influence of alcohol or controlled
substances. Employees may also not report for work when their performance is
impaired by the use of prescribed or over-the-counter medications.
The City reserves the right to search employee work areas, offices, desks, filing
cabinets etc. to ensure compliance with this policy. Employees shall have no
expectation of privacy in such areas.
Any employee who is convicted of a criminal drug violation in the workplace must notify
the organization in writing within five calendar days of the conviction. The organization
will take appropriate action within 30 days of notification. Federal contracting agencies
will be notified when appropriate.

Testing: Certain employees of the City, including those who must possess CDLs or
who have safety sensitive positions, are subject to random d rug and alcohol testing.
Any employee may also be required to submit to alcohol or controlled substance testing
when the City has reasonable suspicion that the employee is under the influence of
controlled substances or alcohol. Refusal to submit to testing, when requested, may
result in immediate disciplinary action, including termination. The City may also choose
to pursue criminal charges, if violations of law are suspected.
The City has adopted Drug and Alcohol Testing Policies and Procedures, which more
specifically describe the City’s substance abuse policy, and these are incorporated
herein by reference as Appendix B.

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

Action: Take item to full Council for further discussion after draft discussion points and
possible ordinance language received from Officer Dawson.
C. Discussion and potential action regarding possible amendment of City
Code 8.48, Parking, Paragraph 8.48.215 B.2.
Joan Ferebee, Court Administrator, explained she attended a Parking Committee
Meeting to bring to their attention the difficulty the Municipal Court is experiencing with
the section of the City Code that allows citizens who receive a parking ticket to pay a
reduced fine if the individual pays the fine by the end of the next business day after the
issuance of the parking ticket. Generally, the Court does not have the tickets in their
system that quickly. Therefore, the individuals can become very angry and upset when
they come to the Municipal Court and are not able to pay. Ms. Ferebee stated that the
Parking Committee recommended removing the section of the Code that allows for a
reduced fine if it is paid by the end of the next business day.
Councilmember Peterson stated that he was in agreement with eliminating the reduced
fine. He stated that he would work with the City Attorney to create an ordinance to place
on the consent agenda. Councilmember Bloom was in agreement.
Action: Councilmember Peterson will work with the City Attorney to create an ordinance
eliminating the reduced fine. The Ordinance is to be placed on a future Consent Agenda
for approval.
D. Student and Senior Volunteers
Councilmember Bloom stated she would like to support the Boards and Commissions in
obtaining student volunteers. She suggested that a senior volunteer could assist Jana
Spellman, Senior Executive Council Assistant, in getting the word out to the various
schools.
Councilmember Peterson suggested Ms. Spellman could email the school board or a
volunteer coordinator in the school system to determine if there are students interested
in volunteering. Councilmember Bloom suggested a senior volunteer could work with
Jana to develop a framework for contacting all of the schools with the appropriate person
to contact and to advertise.
Councilmember Peterson cautioned that managing a volunteer can take more time. He
suggested talking with the Council President as she is in charge of Ms. Spellman’s
schedule.
Councilmember Bloom also recalled that at the Council Retreat, Councilmember
Johnson suggested an event be held to recognize city volunteers. Councilmember
Bloom stated she will discuss with the Mayor the idea of scheduling a yearly event.
E. Ethics Board and Code of Ethics
Councilmember Bloom suggested narrowing down the list of sample policies from other
cities for the City Attorney to work with in developing the policy for Edmonds. She
suggested using the policies from the cities of Bainbridge Island, Lynnwood and Monroe.
Packet Page 366 of 400
Public Safety & Personnel Committee
March 12, 2013
Page 3 of 3
Councilmember Bloom stated that she would like the policy to include appointed officials
(directors) in addition to elected officials and members of boards and commissions.
Councilmember Peterson stated that he did not think the policy needed to address
appointed officials (directors) as they answer to the Mayor.
The Committee concluded that a further discussion on a Code of Ethics policy would be
scheduled for the April Committee Meeting to determine which policy will be sent to the
City Attorney.
F. Discussion regarding taking minutes during Council Committee Meetings.
Councilmember Peterson stated that if detailed/complete minutes are desired it would be
necessary to pay someone to attend the meetings for this purpose. If action minutes are
prepared (which is the way it has generally always been done), then he did not think
councilmembers should take the minutes as it is difficult to participate in the discussion
and take minutes.
Councilmember Bloom agreed that councilmembers should not take minutes.
After discussion, Councilmembers Bloom and Peterson agreed on the following
recommendation:
• Action minutes for committee meetings, prepared by staff members in
attendance.
• If a controversial item is scheduled, arrangements for more detailed minutes will
be made.
• Summary comments made by citizens should be included. Committee members
will summarize citizen comments if no staff is available.
• Work with Council President related to agenda items to make sure a staff
member is available for each item discussed at the committee meeting.
• Committee minutes are to be forwarded to committee chairs for review (as time
allows).
G. Public Comments
There were no public comments.
The committee meeting adjourned at 8:17 p.m.

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

Councilmember Johnson said longevity compensation makes sense for employees who are at the top of
their scale and have no opportunity for further advancement. She expressed interest in further information
about the fiscal impact of longevity compensation retroactive to 2013 as well as the fiscal impact for
outlying years.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented the pay scale for nonrepresented employees is a separate
issue and should be addressed separately rather than piecemealed via longevity pay. She noted longevity
pay would not motivate employees to seek promotion or to remain in the City’s employment. Longevity
pay is part of a compensation package that was negotiated with the other groups. She preferred to
consider longevity pay for nonrepresented employees as part of a compensation package. Ms. Hite
pointed out longevity compensation was part of a package for nonrepresented employees that the
compensation consultant presented to the Council. The Council asked to have it pulled out for continued
discussion.
Councilmember Peterson agreed the Council was provided a compensation package for nonrepresented
that was similar to represented employees. It was the Council’s decision to separate out some items. He
suggested the next agenda memo include the complete compensation package that was presented by the
compensation consultant.
Ms. Hite summarized the information the Council was requesting in addition to the original compensation
package includes, 1) the fiscal impact for retroactivity in 2013, 2) fiscal impact for outlying years, 3) a
flat rate approach and the fiscal impact.
Due to the absence of 3 Councilmembers from the September 17 and 24 meetings, Mayor Earling
suggested information be provided at next week’s meeting or a full Council meeting be held on
September 10. Council President Petso suggested either staff return with the information soon or it be
addressed as a decision package in the 2014 budget.
11. DISCUSSION REGARDING CODE OF ETHICS
Parks & Recreation/Reporting Human Resources Director Carrie Hite explained the Personnel Committee
has been comparing and contrasting Codes of Ethics for cities throughout the Puget Sound region. Two
documents the committee has been considering include Kirkland and Bellevue’s Code of Ethics. The
committee has also discussed Bainbridge Island’s code. Kirkland adopted a Code of Conduct in addition
to a Code of Ethics. She explained a Code of Conduct describes professional responsibilities; a Code of
Ethics describes legal responsibilities. A Code of Ethics would apply to the Council, boards and
commissions; staff is guided by a Code of Conduct in the City’s personnel policies. The Personnel
Committee has also expressed interest in identifying an Ethics Officer. Some of the comparable models
reviewed by the Personnel Committee identify an Ethics Officer outside the organization in order to have
an objective, non-vested perspective in researching a Code of Ethics issues. For example Kirkland and
Bellevue contract with an Ethics Officer on an as needed basis who is only paid when a Code of Ethics
issue needs to be investigated. Neither Kirkland nor Bellevue had incurred any expenses for outside
review of a Code of Ethics violation.
Councilmember Bloom noted the attachments are in the August 20, 2013 packet. She clarified in addition
to Councilmembers, boards and commissions, the Code of Ethics would cover all elected officials
including the Mayor. Kirkland and Bellevue’s Codes of Ethics do not include a Mayor because they have
a City Manager form of government.
Councilmember Bloom expressed concern with including the requirement in 3.14.040 of Kirkland’s
policy related to financial disclosure for all officials. Officials are defined as all members of boards and
commissions. Kirkland’s policy excludes the Mayor and Council because elected officials must present
Packet Page 369 of 400
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
August 27, 2013
Page 13
all financial information on a yearly basis. She did not support requiring all members of boards and
commissions to disclose their financial information and suggested that be excluded that from Edmonds’
Code of Ethics; Bellevue’s Code of Ethics does not have that requirement. She also suggested
consideration be given to the complaint process and who handles complaints. For example Kirkland
involves the Hearing Examiner and the City Council in the event of a complaint regarding a
Councilmember.
Councilmember Peterson agreed with Councilmember Bloom’s concern about requiring members of
boards and commissions to disclose financial information. He agreed with the Council considering a Code
of Ethics in a proactive approach rather than a reactive approach. He supported the City having a Code of
Ethics for elected officials and boards and commissions, anticipating a Code of Ethics would make the
Council’s work easier if an ethical issue arose. As Councilmember Buckshnis indicated, a Code of Ethics
can be subjective, but responding to an ethical complaint would be even more subjective without a Code
of Ethics.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas advised Snohomish County adopted a Code of Conduct for all boards
and commissions and every commission and board member must acknowledge they have read and
understand the Code of Conduct. She encouraged Councilmembers to review Snohomish County’s Code
of Conduct for elected and appointed officials.
Councilmember Bloom asked whether Snohomish County’s Code of Conduct was similar to Kirkland’s.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas responded Snohomish County may be more thorough and
straightforward.
Council President Petso said she was pleased to see Kirkland’s Code of Conduct in the packet and was
interested in pursuing a Code of Conduct. She was concerned about the Code of Ethics and Ethics Officer
and complaint enforcement. She feared a person who did not agree with an official’s position on an issue
could file an ethics complaint. She indicated she was unlikely to support a Code of Ethics that included a
complaint process, an Ethics Officer and enforcement. She found Bellevue’s Code of Ethics less
objectionable; the statement of intent is to not to limit people who could serve on boards and commissions
and elected officials. She agreed the financial disclosure in Kirkland’s Code of Ethics would likely deter
citizens from volunteering for a board or commission.
Council President Petso noted there are other aspects, particularly in Kirkland’s Code of Ethics that would
deter citizens from volunteering to serve on a board or commission. There are events that do not
constitute an ethics issue but might under a poorly drafted policy. For example when she was appointed to
Council, a relative was serving on the Sister City Commission; that did not create an issue for her or him.
It would have been unfortunate if the Code of Ethics forced one of them to resign their position. One of
Kirkland’s policies indicated it would be a conflict if a person serving on a board of commission lived in
your household. In the example she provided, the person did live in her household for a period of time but
it had no impact on his ability to serve on the Sister City Commission.
Council President Petso relayed the City Attorney wanted the Council to discuss whether they were
interested in developing a Code of Ethics for Edmonds because it will take him a great deal of time to
develop it. Less legal time would be involved in drafting a Code of Conduct.
Councilmember Buckshnis preferred the Bainbridge Island Code of Ethics. She agreed with not requiring
boards and commissions to disclose financial information, commenting Councilmembers file with the
Public Disclosure Commission. She liked the Code of Conduct although she feared it could be subjective.
She recalled recent emotionally charged conversations with a fellow Councilmember that could have been
interpreted as an argument. She preferred to start with a Code of Conduct using Snohomish County as an
example.

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

Councilmember Peterson relayed the ECA/EPFD has been looking for different funding sources. The roof
is a key element of the structure. If the roof fails the City will still own the building in the future. It seems
logical to add that capital project to the City’s capital budget request.

Councilmember Fraley-Monillas preferred to delay a vote until her questions were answered. She was
concerned about the Frances Anderson Center versus the ECA. Mayor Earling relayed his conversation
with staff; the Frances Anderson Center needs attention but Mr. Stevens indicated it can last a while
longer whereas the failure of the ECA roof is affecting rentals. Mr. Williams felt the Frances Anderson
Center roof could be delayed a year.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas preferred speak to Mr. Stevens and determine how he prioritized
projects and why funding for the Frances Anderson Center roof was moved from 2015 to 2016.
Councilmember Petso relayed the ECA/EPFD has undertaken a small project to stop the leaks for now
but she did not know the longevity of that project.

13. DISCUSSION REGARDING CODE OF ETHICS
Mayor Earling advised this item will be rescheduled to a January meeting.
14. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling announced all the Giving Tree requests at City Hall and Frances Anderson Center have

Community and the Council Happy Holidays.
15. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Student Representative Eslami wished everyone Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.
Councilmember Mesaros reported on his December 4 tour of the Police Department. He thanked Officer
Barker for the visit to the Prism Range and Officer Sutton for the ridealong. He attended the Seashore
Forum on December 5 and was the only non-King County person at the Climate and Clean Energy
Meeting on Mercer Island on December 9. The meeting was very informative and included discussion
regarding climate issues that will be before the legislature this session. On December 11 he attended the
SnoCom Board meeting; the New World system will be launched soon.
Councilmember Mesaros announced his reappointment of John Rubenkonig to the Economic
Development Commission (EDC).
Councilmember Peterson wished everyone a Happy Holiday and looked forward to the New Year.
Councilmember Bloom announced her reappointment of Douglas Swartz to the EDC and her appointment
of Jenny Antilla to the EDC.

Chief Compaan talked about the limitations about citing and with court appearances. He
prefers voluntary compliance and an education program. This seems to be difficult to
enforce with compliance.
Councilmember Bloom asked PR Director Hite for clarification about the recreational
immunity law. PR Director Hite clarified the issue with requiring helmets at the
skateboard park, and/or in parks, and if the city can't enforce it, it could impact our ability
to satisfy the recreational immunity law if someone gets injured.
Councilmember Peterson asked if Cascade Bicycle Club and Edmonds Bicycle Club
supports this. He stated that he could support this, but really would emphasize public
education.
Fire Marshal Westfall commented regarding the public education aspects of sports and
bicycle usage. Fire District #1 has conducted Edmonds community bike rodeos at fire
station open houses in the past. All fire stations have available, during daytime hours,
bicycle and multi-sport helmets that can be fitted to children. The helmets are offered
with a suggested donation that can be mailed to our headquarters later. The helmet
fitting is also a great opportunity to discuss safety items with the kids and their parents.
Additionally, FD#1 is a member of the Safe Kids Coalition of Snohomish County, part of
a worldwide kids' safety network. McDonalds Corporation provided "citations" for
uniformed fire and police to encourage safe riding when kids are found wearing helmets.
These citations are valid for exchange of a happy meal at local McDonalds.
Councilmember Bloom would also agree to a bicycle helmet ordinance.
Next steps: Committee requests the City Attorney to work on an ordinance and research.
Chief Compaan stated he will contact the City attorney and work with him on this.
D. Resolution regarding Robert’s Rules.
A presentation to Council on Robert's Rules of Order is on the extended agenda for the
April 16 council meeting. Council President Petso will be asked to put the draft resolution
adopting Roberts Rules of Order on the agenda for discussion and vote at a council
meeting following this (April 23 or later).
E. Code of Ethics
The Bainbridge Island Code of Ethics will be used as the framework for our policy.
Councilmember Peterson will email passages from other code of ethics that he thinks
should be considered for inclusion. The City Attorney will be asked to draft a policy for
Council review. Council will also discuss forming an Ethics Board.
F. Public Comments
Citizen Don Hall stated that when a complaint was filed by an attorney, it was revealed
that there is no code of ethics for officials of the City of Edmonds. He was supportive of
moving forward with putting a code of ethics in place, noting that it has been in the works
for over a year. He is also of the opinion that once we have a code of ethics, we should
Packet Page 374 of 400
Public Safety & Personnel Committee
April 9, 2013
Page 3 of 4
go ahead with forming an Ethics Board as well, because it means nothing if there is no
means of enforcement.
Citizen Ken Reidy commented that the helmet law for the skateboard park of the city of
Milton was repealed in response to legal advice. He questioned whether or not renewal
of the Development Services Director position can go on the consent agenda due to
necessity of Council approval of the appointment.
Following is the text of the remainder of Mr. Reidy’s three minute comments: “I am here
to express my strong support for the adoption of a comprehensive Code of Ethics and
eventually an Ethics Board. In my opinion, the City Councils’ greatest priorities should
be the prompt completion of the Code Rewrite, the adoption of a Code of Ethics and the
establishment of an Ethics Board.
During his recent State of the City Address, Mayor Earling lamented that in Edmonds,
we simply do not trust each other. The City’s need to rebuild trust is critical and it
requires strong action. The City can’t just simply ask for more trust – the City needs to
take bold action to earn more trust. Prioritizing the Code rewrite and Ethics must be at
the foundation of the City’s efforts to regain trust.
Citizens should not receive emails like I have in the past stating that “By the way, Snyder
mentioned they think you have been hit hard in the market and may choose not to
proceed for financial reasons.” Why would the City even consider my financial situation
in any City decision making process, including whether or not to employ the tool of
government known as Code Enforcement?
A strong commitment to Ethics is absolutely critical at the City. When Ethics don’t
govern conduct, innocent citizens can be greatly harmed.
In March of 2009, during an alley vacation, the City retained an easement on my
property for the sole benefit of a private developer. For years, I have searched online all
over the country to try and find a similar easement. I have never found one like the one
retained on my property.
The City Council retained the Easement in March of 2009 after Snyder told them the City
was trying to balance my interests with the developer’s interests. The City Council was
told right before their vote that one goal of the City was to save my shed. The City
Council was not advised as to the related State (RCW 35.79.030) and City laws.
The City didn’t try to balance my interests or save my shed. They immediately Code
Enforced against my shed. I was able to get the City to admit that the developer's
planned retaining wall ended well before my shed, but the City wouldn’t drop its Code
Enforcement. Every time I convinced the City their Code Enforcement efforts were
improper, they simply replaced it with a new, refined Code Enforcement order. Look at
the multiple Code Enforcements I was subject to (Show multiple orders) related to the
same shed.
On July 17, 2009, a "Framework for Resolution" was discussed between Snyder and the
local developer's attorney in which the developer offered to drop the legal action if
Reidys' shed and trees were removed by the Deadline Date of August 6, 2009. I had no
knowledge at that time of these private "Framework for Resolution" discussions.

There were no Executive Sessions during the time period but the City actually took steps
to get my shed and trees removed by the Deadline Date of August 6, 2009!!
I am a great example of why an Ethics Board is needed. Please adopt a comprehensive
Code of Ethics and an Ethics Board.”
The meeting was adjourned at 7:05 PM.

voting block; she voted for the candidate she felt was best and she made a very reasoned choice. She
preferred Councilmember Mesaros’ suggestion but starting with a large number of applicants.
Councilmember Petso said the process Councilmember Mesaros described is exactly what she is trying to
avoid as it reminded her of the City Attorney process where a compromise choice was eliminated with
only two candidates. She encouraged the Council not to do that, finding it very manipulative.
Councilmember Bloom suggested the Council may want to go into executive session more frequently to
discuss the candidates if there are deadlocks.
Council President Fraley-Monillas summarized:
•Consensus reached to make a decision on February 3 regarding whether all candidates will be
interviewed
•Consensus reached regarding the 40 minute interview length and informing applicants about the
length of time
•No consensus reached regarding the voting process (discuss at future Council meeting)
13. DISCUSSION REGARDING CODE OF ETHICS
Councilmember Bloom said the code of ethics proposed by Council President Fraley-Monillas and
Councilmember Peterson was essentially the major bullet points in Shoreline’s Code of Ethics but not the
sub-points. Her research found a lot of confusion between what ethics are and what conduct is. Ethics is a
field of study and many professions are required to take code of ethics classes to maintain their licenses.
Not including the sub-points expects the public to know what is meant by the bullet points. Shoreline’s
policy is succinct and gives examples under each bullet. She did not want to eliminate the specific
examples, finding that watered the code down to where it was not understandable. A citizen reading the
code needs those details to determine whether someone has committed a breach of ethics.
Councilmember Bloom referred to Shoreline’s policy, specifically seek no favor; believe that personal
benefit or profit secured by confidential information or by misuse of public time is dishonest. She asked
Mr. Taraday to explain the last bullet point regarding reference checking: reference checking and
responding to agency requests are a normal function of municipal business and is not prohibited if it does
not adversely affect the operation of the City. Mr. Taraday suggested asking Shoreline. Councilmember
Bloom summarized that was the only thing in Shoreline’s policy that may need to be removed.
Council President Fraley-Monillas read from the proposed code of ethics, The purpose of the Edmonds
Code of Ethics is to strengthen the quality of government through ethical principles which shall govern
the conducted of elected and appointed officials and employees. She pointed out appointed officials and
employees are covered under the code of ethics that exists for staff including department directors. The
proposed code of ethics addresses only Councilmembers.
Councilmember Bloom said all other codes of ethics include elected and appointed officials which would
include all the directors who are nominated by the Mayor and approved by Council. Council President
Fraley-Monillas reiterated there is a separate code of ethics for staff. Councilmember Bloom asked to see
staff’s code of ethics. Mr. Taraday explained all employees are subject to the personnel policies which
include obligations that could be considered ethical obligations. To the extent Council feels there is a gap
in the obligations already placed on employees in the personnel policies, he recommended fixing that gap
by supplementing the personnel policies so that anything that applies to an employee is contained in the
personnel policies. He cautioned against having 2-3 different documents that outline staff’s obligations.

Councilmember Bloom said she was not talking about all the employees; she was talking about appointed
officials or officers, the directors who make decisions related to the code. Every ethical policy she has
reviewed includes the officers. Mr. Taraday commented it is difficult to discuss in the abstract without
knowing exactly what ethical obligation she was interested in imposing on a particular officer; it may
already be in the personnel policies. Councilmember Bloom said what she has seen does not include what
is in the code of ethics. She asked that the ethics policy in the personnel policy to be presented to the
Council. Council President Fraley-Monillas referred to Attachment 3, Employee Responsibilities and
Code of Ethics. She read from Attachment 3,
• All persons, representing the City of Edmonds, shall conduct business in a professional manner,
respecting all citizens’ rights, and showing courtesy to all.
• Their actions shall be conducted within compliance of the laws and regulations governing the
City’s actions, including but not limited to RCW Title 42.
• City representatives are expected to conduct business in an open manner
• They shall not engage in any conduct which would reflect unfavorably upon City government or
any of the services it provides.
• They must avoid any action which might result in or create the impression of using their position
for private gain, giving preferential treatment or privileged information to any person, or losing
impartiality in conducting the City’s business
Council President Fraley-Monillas said Attachment 3 also includes a section on outside employment and
conflicts of interest and how to report improper government action. She was uncertain what else needed
to be addressed in a code of ethics. The department directors are City staff and should adhere to the
employee responsibilities and code of ethics in the personnel policies, not the proposed code of ethics.
Councilmember Petso shared her concern with the code of ethics concept: there are questions regarding
who it applies to, whether it only applies to Councilmembers, where it applies to appointed officers which
she was told also includes members of boards and commissions. She referred to one of the vouchers the
Council approved where the payee is a member of a board or commission and the service purchased from
that person was related to the commission on which that person serves. She questioned whether that was
somewhere the City wanted to go and what was the motivation. She discovered for each ethical conflict
there are a variety of responses including, 1) do nothing and approve the voucher, or 2) investigate. She
summarized possibly complying with the law is good enough.
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled two instances of commissioners acting inappropriately in the last two
years. She preferred the code of ethics not apply to staff as there are already personnel policies in place.
She suggested starting small and expanding as necessary. Some people believe a code of ethics is very
important; she believed in treating others like you want to be treated, be professional, be an adult, make
decisions and move forward. She suggested minor changes could be made to the proposed code of ethics.
Council President Fraley-Monillas commented ethics mean different things to different people which is
why the code was shortened and bulleted. She and Councilmember Peterson began with Shoreline’s
language but eliminated portions because it can be so subjective.
Councilmember Mesaros suggested the Council consider the code of ethics presented by Council
President Fraley-Monillas, correcting the opening paragraph to remove employees. He felt the code of
ethics should apply to boards and commissions and elected officials. He liked the brevity, simplicity and
clarity of the proposed code.
Mayor Earling advised the directors are employees of the City and he would reject any other
interpretation. If the Council included boards and commissions, he suggested the Council consider how
they would present it to each board and commission to ensure they understood their responsibilities.

If this comes back to the Council again, Councilmember Johnson requested including the code of conduct
that was adopted at the end of 2013.
For Councilmember Petso, Council President Fraley-Monillas advised the proposed code of ethics is
contained in Attachment 10.
Councilmember Bloom did not agree with including the code of conduct, relaying it is different than a
code of ethic and the City needs to have both. A code of ethics addresses conflict of interest; a code of
conduct addresses contact and how people treat each other. She disagreed with watering down the code of
ethics as people do not understand what ethics are. The bullet points in Shoreline’s code offer clarity and
help people understand. She recommended having an ethic officer which could be a contract position.
Councilmember Buckshnis was strongly opposed to an ethics commission because she feared it would
turn into a political issue. She suggested starting small and expanding as necessary. She did not support
including staff as they are already covered by the personnel policies.
Council President Fraley-Monillas suggested moving this to another study session. She agreed the code of
conduct was far different than a code of ethics.
14. CONTINUED DISCUSSIONS ON THE STUDY SESSIONS
Due to the late hour, this item was postponed to a future meeting.
15. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling reminded of the Snohomish County Cities meeting this Thursday. The meeting will
include Congresswoman DelBene and election of AWC and other positions.
To Councilmember Buckshnis, Mayor Earling said Go Seahawks.
16. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Buckshnis said Go Pack Go. She will be not be in town for Sunday’s game but will be
watching game with her husband. She thanked everyone who called her; she received numerous
compliments about the last year and about various Councilmembers. She looked forward to this being a
wonderful year.
Councilmember Johnson also said Go Hawks.
Councilmember Petso said Go Hawks. She relayed the Historic Preservation Commission is reviewing a
certificate of appropriateness for work to the exterior and grounds of the museum property. She will make
information available at the Council office.
Councilmember Bloom concurred it will be good year.
Councilmember Mesaros said he will be in Phoenix on February 1 and offered to be the City’s official
representative at the Super Bowl.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said Seahawks.

forwarded to the Council. The Diversity Task Force has proposed another variation. She preferred the
way vacancies are filled be more consistent.
Councilmember Petso said she was satisfied with adopting the ordinance as it currently reads and delay
action on the funding piece until that is addressed for the Tree Board as well.
With regard to the formation of the Diversity Commission, Mr. Brown explained initially each
Councilmember selects one member and the Mayor selects two; the Commission selects members to fill
vacancies. A Diversity Commission is somewhat unique; he envisioned few people of a minority status
would be browsing the Edmonds City website to fill out an application for the Commission. It likely will
take boots on the ground outreach to identify members. He did not mean to imply Councilmembers did
not have strong relationships with communities of color, religious minorities, LGBT, or disabled
individuals, but the Task Force wanted to make sure the Commission was diverse.
Mr. Bui supported Councilmember Nelson’s comment to establish the Commission first. He encouraged
the Council to talk about the substance of establishing the Diversity Commission and not the mechanics
such as funding, procedures, etc. which can be resolved later.
Councilmember Buckshnis preferred to leave the ordinance as proposed with the terms staggered and the
Commission making appointments in the future. She agreed some of the people who may want to serve
on the Diversity Commission may not read the newspaper or see the notice. Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-
Monillas agreed with that as well, living in diverse neighborhood herself. She cited the importance of
reaching out to those for whom English is not their first language.
Councilmember Mesaros agreed with Councilmember Petso’s suggestion.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule the ordinance on the Consent Agenda next week without
the financial piece. Ms. Hite said she would make the change regarding the date of the annual meeting.
Ms. Hite referred to the issue Council President Pro Tem Johnson raised regarding how members are
appointed. Council President Pro Tem Johnson clarified the Historic Preservation Commission and the
Arts Commission have the same model. Other boards and commissions such as the Planning Board and
the Transportation Commission have another model. The City Council has the ability to confirm
appointments but it often comes to the Council in different ways and she suggested there be one common
way. Ms. Hite said she will add that to the administrative issues the Council committee on boards and
commissions is discussing.
10. DISCUSSION REGARDING CODE OF ETHICS
Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas referred to Attachment 13, the last code of ethics the Council discussed,
advising it incorporated the edits offered by Councilmember Buckshnis.
Councilmember Bloom said she has been involved in discussions about the code of ethics since 2012
when she was on the Public Safety & Personnel Committee and was the chair most of the two years she
served on the committee. Many of the attachments were related to discussions that committee had. She
was concerned because much of what was discussed has been left out of Attachment 13. She referred to
her comments at the last Council work session on January 13, 2015: “Councilmember Bloom said the
code of ethics proposed by Council President Fraley-Monillas and Councilmember Peterson was
essentially the major bullet points in Shoreline’s Code of Ethics but not the sub-points. Her research
found a lot of confusion between what ethics are and what conduct is. Code of ethic is a field of study;
many professions are required to take code of ethic classes to maintain their licenses. Not including the
sub-points expects the public to know what is meant by the bullet points. Shoreline’s policy is succinct
Packet Page 381 of 400
and gives examples under each bullet. She did not want to eliminate the specific examples, finding that
watered the code down to where it was not understandable. A citizen reading the code needs those details
to determine whether someone has committed a breach of ethics.”
Councilmember Bloom relayed concern that the only proposal for this discussion was just the other code
of ethics. She offered to review the difference between the Shoreline’s Code of Ethics and the proposed
Edmonds Code of Ethics (Attachment 13). Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas explained the proposed code
of ethics was the result of discussions by the Public Safety & Personnel Committee, comprised of herself
and then-Councilmember Peterson. Councilmember Bloom disagreed, referencing the above comment at
the January 13, 2015 meeting when the Public Safety & Personnel Committee no longer existed.
Councilmember Bloom referenced the list of meetings provided by Mr. Clifton when a code of ethics has
been discussed. The proposed code is a watered down version of all the issues that have been addressed in
the past. Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas suggested Councilmember Bloom amend the proposed code of
ethics. Councilmember Bloom assumed the Council would be reviewing both the Shoreline Code of
Ethics which she felt was much more substantial and much better than just the bullet points that are
contained in the proposed code of ethics. She requested an opportunity to explain why she felt the
Shoreline Code of Ethics was a better model than the proposed code of ethics.
Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas advised Attachment 13, Edmonds Code of Ethics, was the document the
Public Safety & Personnel Committee produced for Council review. She asked whether the Council had
to vote to remove the proposed code as presented by the committee. City Attorney Jeff Taraday
responded this is a study session; like any other topic, the purpose of discussion is general direction and
the Council does not need to be overly formal about how that happens. Unless there is a document that
everyone wants to adopt, he suggested the Council determine which document is the most appropriate
starting point from which to make any other amendments.
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to the January 13, 2015 minutes where Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-
Monillas, Councilmember Petso and she talk about process. She referred to a comment by Mayor Pro
Tem Fraley-Monillas that ethics means different things to different people which is why the code was
shortened and bulleted and that Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas and then-Councilmember Peterson
began with the Shoreline language but eliminated portions they felt it were too subjective.
Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas asked whether the January 13, 2015 minutes say anything about
Councilmembers providing more information. Councilmember Buckshnis answered yes, Councilmember
Mesaros suggested removing employees from the opening paragraph and she also provided some
corrections which were incorporated into the draft in Attachment 13.
Councilmember Petso suggested allowing Councilmember Bloom to present her concerns.
Councilmember Mesaros agreed.
In comparing Shoreline’s Code of Ethics and the proposed Edmonds Code of Ethics, Councilmember
Bloom pointed out the statement of who the code of ethics applies to is significant different. “The purpose
of the City of Shoreline Code of Ethics is to strengthen the quality of government through ethical
principles which shall govern the conduct of the City’s elected and appointed officials, and employees,
who shall:” The code of ethics drafted by Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas and then-Councilmember
Peterson, states, “The purpose of the Edmonds Code of Ethics is to strengthen the quality of government
through ethical principles which call govern the conduct of elected officials and appointed citizen
volunteers serving in an official capacity (i.e. Boards and Commissions).” Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-
Monillas explained appointed officials and employees was removed because the City has its own code of
ethics for staff.
Packet Page 382 of 400
Councilmember Bloom responded there are several issues related to that including that appointed official
has never been clearly defined and a definition of an appointed official is needed. In Shoreline’s Code of
Ethics, an appointed official may mean all the directors who are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed
by Council and it may mean all the appointed boards and commission members. She personally strongly
believed at a minimum the directors who are appointed officials who enact code and law needed to be
covered under the code of ethics.
Councilmember Bloom referred to Attachment 3, Employee Responsibilities and Code of Ethics, and the
the title of Section 10.1, General Code of Conduct. She reiterated people get code of conduct and code of
ethics mixed up. Attachment 3 is a code of conduct. The only ethical issues are outside employment and
conflict of interest, reporting improper government action, procedure for seeking relief against retaliation,
political activities, no smoking policy, personal possessions and electronic communications. None of it
includes the bullet points in the draft code of ethics. Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas reiterated the
directors were not included because it was determined they would be covered by the City’s code.
Councilmember Bloom said there is nothing about ethics in the City’s Personnel Policies. Ms. Hite said
directors are definitely covered under the Personnel Policies; they are nonrepresented employees and are
not under collective bargaining agreements. A chapter was added in 2012 entitled Code of Ethics that
reflected what was in the previous Personnel Policies as well as additional language to cover
nonrepresented employees with regard to code of ethics. In addition, when the job descriptions were
updated, the first bullet in every director’s job description is that they will follow all laws, rules,
regulations and codes. The Mayor oversees, supervisors, disciplines, evaluates, and directs the work of
the directors; the Council does not. Councilmember Bloom said Attachment 3 does not contain anything
about a code of ethics other than conflicts of interest. Ms. Hite said the Council could discuss enhancing
that section of the Personnel Policies.
Councilmember Bloom reiterated she has been involved in this for more than three years. Every code of
ethics she has reviewed has included appointed officials. Again, the City does not have a definition, but
the directors are appointed officials. Many other codes of ethics include staff.
Councilmember Mesaros asked Mr. Taraday to define appointed officials and whether directors are
included in the State of Washington as appointed officials. Mr. Taraday answered he believed directors
would be considered officials but so are Planning Board Members and the City Attorney. Being an
official should not govern the substance of how one is treated for disciplinary processes based on a
violation of a code of ethics. An official who is an employee would be treated and disciplined by the
Mayor; there would be a different process for a Planning Board Member. If the City Attorney committed
an ethical violation, that would be yet another process because he is a contractor to the City. There are
different categories of officials and the disciplinary process differs depending on the category. Similar
ethical standards can be applied that all these groups would need to live up to, but it makes sense to have
all the employee-related standards in the Personnel Policies so everyone knows where to find them. For
him and the Planning Board Member for whom the Personnel Policies do not apply, it may make sense to
have a standalone document code of ethics that applies to non-employee officials.
Councilmember Mesaros observed the draft Edmonds Code of Ethics in the packet states it shall govern
the conduct of elected officials and appointed citizen volunteers. Mr. Taraday said the draft in the packet
reflects an intent to apply it to City Council and boards and commissions. Councilmember Mesaros
relayed Councilmember Bloom is intimating the proposed is unclear as written it applies only to elected
officials and appointed citizen volunteers.
Packet Page 383 of 400
Councilmember Bloom understood Mr. Taraday’s comments with regard to discipline, she was referring
to what other cities do and why. The piece of the proposed Edmonds Code of Ethics that several citizens
have commented on is the need for enforcement and holding people accountable. If volunteer boards and
commissioners are officials, at a minimum staff appointed officials should be included. Other cities also
include staff members. Disciplinary action can be meted out by whomever but there needs to be a
consistent code of ethics that governs everyone and a process for a citizen to follow when they have a
concern about an ethical violation and someone who will take action to hold the person accountable. She
summarized there were multiple layers associated with a code of ethics.
Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas recalled she and then-Councilmember Peterson discussed having a board
of some sort that would look at ethical violations but felt there were many resources for looking at a
violation of ethics by an elected official. She pointed out technically Councilmembers are not supervised
by anyone; there is no board that can take action with regard to an elected. She recalled the Edmonds
Council filed a censorship on one of its Councilmembers because it was felt the situation that warranted
that level of action. She and then-Councilmember Peterson did not feel it was appropriate to create a
board to consider complaints regarding volunteer board and commission members because any egregious
situation with a board or commission member should be addressed by the Council as a whole. She
summarized they felt creating a board to consider alleged violations was creating an extra layer that was
unlikely to do much good with regard to the behavior of an elected official or board/commission member.
Mr. Taraday clarified what he was suggesting was not that there needs to be a substantive difference in
what the standards say but there needs to be a difference in where they are located; they could say nearly
the same thing. Councilmember Bloom said if there was a standard code of ethics that applied to all
elected appointed officials and staff as Shoreline’s does, it could be updated as needed. What the City has
needed for over three years is a code of ethics; the proposed Edmonds Code of Ethics does not do what
she has been working on for years. When this process began, she used the Bainbridge Island Ethics Policy
that includes a Code of Ethics, an Ethics Board, and procedures. Edmonds has none of that. Her goal was
simply to get a code of ethics drafted that people can actually understand. The proposed Edmonds Code
of Ethics does not have enough delineation to identify what the bullet points mean.
Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas said she wished something had been passed while Councilmember
Bloom was on the Public Safety & Personnel Committee. When she and then-Councilmember Peterson
were on the committee, the proposed code of ethics is what they forwarded to the Council.
Councilmember Bloom said the Council did not want to pass anything at that point. She recognized she
should not have started with the gold standard, Bainbridge Island’s Ethics Policy. Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-
Monillas said the Public Safety & Personnel Committee was not tasked with looking at the policies that
the committee had considered in the past.
Councilmember Petso said she was not a proponent of the code of ethics concept, but supported
Councilmember Bloom’s concern that the code of ethics as drafted in Attachment 13 did not have
sufficient detail to give her an idea of the conduct being regulated or expected. For example, the Shoreline
Code of Ethics states, “Be dedicated to the highest ideas of honor and integrity in all public and personal
relationship.” That could be construed very broadly. Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas asked what that
meant. Councilmember Petso said that is Councilmember Bloom’s point, what does that mean. The
Shoreline Code of Ethics provides details regarding what that means, conducting personal affairs in such
a way that it does not appear to improperly influencing the performance of their official duties.
Councilmember Petso suggested if everyone can agree that more details can be provided regarding the
bullet points in the proposed Edmonds Code of Ethics as they relate to the job of a Councilmember,
Councilmember Bloom and one or more Councilmembers could develop a draft that provides the detail
she is seeking. Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas said this is the draft that the Public Safety & Personnel
Packet Page 384 of 400
Committee reviewed and forwarded to the Council. She and then-Councilmember Peterson reviewed the
details in Shoreline’s Code of Ethics and felt it detracted from the bullet points.
Councilmember Mesaros took exception to Councilmember Bloom’s comment that no one would
understand the Attachment 13 code of ethics. There are plenty of things people would understand and see
it as a higher expressed standard of how elected officials and appointed citizen volunteers should act in
their official capacity representing the City.
Councilmember Bloom questioned Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas’ comments about what the Public
Safety & Personnel Committee was charged to do. What actually happened was the Shoreline Code of
Ethics was presented by a citizen and then-Councilmember Peterson and Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas
took the bullet points and removed the rest. She referred to Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas’ question
about what it meant after Councilmember Petso read the bullet point regarding be dedicated to the highest
ideals of honor and integrity in all public and personal relationships; that is one of the bullet points in the
code of ethics in Attachment 13. She referred to Shoreline’s Code of Ethics, “Seek no favor; believe that
personal benefit or profit secured by confidential information or by misuse of public time is dishonest.”
That was changed slightly in Attachment 13 to, “Seek no favor; do not personally benefit or profit by
confidential information or by the misuse of public resources.” In the Shoreline document there are eight
bullet points referring to business interests, private employment, confidential information, gifts,
investments in conflict with official duties, personal relationships, and business relationships. The details
in Shoreline’s code are important for Council as well as citizens; it provides a check and balance and
accountability.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she personally likes some of the things in Shoreline’s Code of Ethics
especially considering what is happening with Bothell’s Mayor. She had no problem with adding some
language to Attachment 13 although she agreed some of Shoreline’s Code of Ethics was too detailed. She
suggested it may be easier to start with a draft and work through the changes.
Councilmember Mesaros suggested review of Attachment 13 be scheduled on next week’s agenda and if
Councilmembers want to make amendments, it could be done during a voting meeting.
Council President Pro Tem Johnson said the code of ethics has been an evolution. It may not be exactly
what Shoreline chose to do but she was happy with Attachment 13’s broad general approach with
exception of the last bullet (Follow Washington statutes, city ordinances or regulations in the course of
performing duties) because although it was implicit in the work elected officials do, it was asking too
much of boards and commissions. For example, the Planning Board has an advisory role and obtains
advice from City staff and she did not want them to have to follow a stricter standard.
Councilmember Bloom begged the Council to let her work on this with one other person and bring it back
to Council. She reiterated there was not enough delineation in the code of ethics in Attachment 13. She
has been working on this since she became a Councilmember and did not want to just adopt Attachment
13. She questioned whether committees were still in place when Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas and
then-Councilmember Peterson finalized Attachment 13.
Councilmember Petso suggested rather than scheduling amendments to Attachment 13 on next week’s
agenda, the Council allow Councilmember Bloom to submit another variation for the Council’s
consideration. The alternative under Roberts Rules is to suspend the rules next week to have another
wide-ranging discussion like tonight or consider Councilmember Bloom’s amendments one by one. She
preferred if there was the potential for significant amendments to the code of ethics, Councilmember
Bloom develop materials in advance for review by the public and Council.
Packet Page 385 of 400
Councilmember Nelson recommended the Council vote on something next week and make amendments
if necessary. Although there have been many references to Shoreline, many things are done in Edmonds
because they make sense for Edmonds. Shoreline’s Code of Ethics can be a model but it may not
necessarily be an appropriate model for Edmonds.
Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas observed she has heard two recommendations, 1) bring back Attachment
13 back next week for potential amendment, and 2) provide Councilmember Bloom an opportunity to
provide a new draft next week. Councilmember Bloom said she could not have her version ready by next
week. Councilmember Buckshnis offered to work with Councilmember Bloom.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule this on a future agenda to allow Councilmembers
Buckshnis and Bloom time to develop another draft.
12.AMENDING THE CITY CODE REGARDING DELINQUENCY CHARGES, THRESHOLD
ACCOUNT BALANCES, AND TURN-ON AND TURN-OFF CHARGES
Parks & Recreation Carrie Hite relayed she was presenting this for Public Works Director Phil Williams
who could not attend tonight’s meeting due to a family emergency. The intent was to clean up the code
language with regard to delinquency charges:
•Amend the City’s utility billing delinquency charge of 10% of the outstanding balance to $25
•Amend the threshold for account balances to be considered delinquent from $21 to $40. Accounts
with overdue balances under $40 would not be considered delinquent and will not be charged the
delinquent charge
•Amend the City’s Turn-on and Turn-off charges for non-regular working hours from $75 to $125.
Councilmember Petso expressed concern with the language in Section 7.10.025: “The decision of the
administrative services director can be appealed to the Finance Committee of the Edmonds City Council”
as that committee does not currently exist. She suggested moving this to a future agenda as an item for
full Council discussion to provide staff time to make changes to that language. Ms. Hite suggested
changing it to appeal to the Edmonds City Council. Councilmember Mesaros agreed with that change.
City Attorney Jeff Taraday said Finance Director Scott James is also interested in the change to a $25
delinquency charge being retroactive to all existing delinquent accounts to simplify administration of
delinquency calculations. Councilmember Petso asked if an executive session was necessary regarding
that proposed change. Mr. Taraday answered only if she believed there was potential litigation related to
that change.
It was the consensus of the Council to schedule this for full Council on a future agenda.
13.MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Pro Tem Fraley-Monillas reported Mayor Earling is vacationing in Hawaii.
14.COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Buckshnis referred to an article in the Seattle Times Pacific NW regarding the identity
crisis of the Salish Sea that reinforces Edmonds is doing the right thing daylighting Willow Creek.
Another great article follows about local artists the Varnaus and their labyrinth garden.
Councilmember Bloom said she was unable to open many of the attachments in the code of ethics agenda
item, including the 9/9/14 Public Safety & Personnel Committee minutes. She recalled the last committee

Subject Title
Approval of Settlement Agreement with New Cingular Wireless
Recommendation
The City Attorney recommends that the city council authorize the Mayor to sign one of the two versions
of a proposed settlement agreement with New Cingular Wireless, substantially in the form attached
hereto. The non-substantive blanks in the attached settlement templates will be filled in after the city
council provides direction as to the preferred method of payment.
One version contemplates payment of the settlement by check. The other version of the settlement
involves a tax credit instead of a cash payment. Both agreements contemplate a settlement at 18% of the
amount of the claim, which amounts to a settlement amount of $18,310.84. It is only the payment method
that differs.
Previous Council Action
No prior action, but the city council has been briefed in executive session.
Narrative
New Cingular Wireless PCS LLC (“NCW”) submitted to the City of Edmonds a claim dated November
1, 2010, subsequently modified by letter dated June 15, 2012, seeking the refund of $99,299.89 in Local
Utility Tax (“Tax”), which Tax had previously been collected by NCW from its customers allegedly on
charges for data services providing Internet access between November 1, 2005 and September 30, 2010,
and which Tax previously was allegedly remitted by NCW to the City of Edmonds (the “Claim”). Similar
claims were filed with several other Washington cities.
The City of Edmonds has asserted various defenses to the Claim, including but not limited to an assertion
that certain portions of the Claim are outside the three year limitations period for which a refund of Taxes
is available under the City’s municipal code and state law.
NCW is a party-defendant to the Global Class Action Settlement Agreement approved by the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, pursuant to which the rights of the customers
included in the Settlement Class (the “Settlement Class”) have been established. The Settlement Class
includes customers from whom the Tax was collected, which Tax is sought in the Claim.
NCW filed suit in King County Superior Court against the City of Edmonds and several other cities (the
“First Lawsuit”). The City of Edmonds and several other cities were subsequently dropped as a defendant
in the First Lawsuit by order pursuant to a motion for misjoinder. NCW filed a second suit in Snohomish
Packet Page 391 of 400
County Superior Court against the City and several other Snohomish County cities, which the City
subsequently removed to the United States District Court, Western District of Washington (the “Second
Lawsuit”). The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the Second Lawsuit for
consolidated pretrial proceedings (together with the First and Second Lawsuit, the “Lawsuits”).
NCW and the City of Edmonds desire to promptly settle the Claim and dismiss allegations against the
City in the Lawsuits, and as a result resolve this matter fully and finally as between NCW and Edmonds.
This proposed settlement was negotiated as a package with a group of 35 Washington cities. As a group, it
was negotiated that each city would pay 18% of the claim applicable to that city. For Edmonds, this
amounts to a payment of $18,310.84. The city has the option to write a check for this amount or to issue a
tax credit for this amount.
