Joan Longstaff, Cemetery Board, invited the public to a guided tour of the Edmonds Memorial
Cemetery, “A Walk Back in Time,” on July 16 at 1:00 p.m. She thanked the Council for the privilege of
serving on the Cemetery Board. Along with the Chamber and the Museum, the Cemetery is celebrating
Edmonds’ 125th anniversary of Edmonds. “A Walk Back in Time” will honor and includes stories of the
13 former Edmonds mayors buried in cemetery.
5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, expressed concern with City officials on Sunset Avenue doing the work of
the police, telling people where they can and cannot park. The person who reported it to him is frequent
user of Sunset and has seen it occur more than once. He found it interest that certain City officials feel it
is their duty to enforce the rules on Sunset Avenue. He suggested returning to bike lanes and a sidewalk
on Sunset Avenue, eliminating the need for City officials to enforce the law on their own.
Bruce Witenberg, Edmonds, said he regularly attended Council committee meetings when the format
was changed to study sessions. He originally did not support the change but now likes study sessions and
felt with a few revisions, study sessions could serve the Council, administration and citizens well. With
the committee structure, citizens had to choose which committee to attend as they were all held on the
same day and time and only two Council committee members studied an issue with staff and made
recommendations to Council. Recommendations were often pulled from the Consent Agenda or rejected
by the full Council, resulting in delays and requiring repetitive staff presentations. The quality of the
committee minutes depending on who took the minutes. Citizens could not view the committee meetings
on television or the internet and rules for citizen participation varied depending on the chair and issue
being discussed. The greatest citizen benefit of study sessions is added transparency. With study sessions,
citizens have equal time to comment and can view all Council discussion on television and the internet
and consistent, written minutes are available to the public. He recommended the following format
revisions:
• Council return to the dais where microphones provide better sound quality
• Staff presentations be made from the podium where presentations can be seen and heard
Packet Page 5 of 224
• Discussions grouped by topic on the agenda for continuity and using Council and staff time
efficiently
• Council ask questions of staff before meeting to provide staff time/opportunity to prepare detailed
response
• Councilmembers ask questions in round-robin fashion with each Councilmember asking 2-3
questions at a time
He questioned why a Council that places such a high value on transparency would consider reverting to a
format that was so much less transparent and less efficient.
Jenny Anttila, Edmonds, said it appeared Edmonds’ offer to purchase the Edmonds Conference was
rejected and the State has given the City Council until July 15 to submit a counteroffer. She recalled some
weeks ago the Council President was asked to allow the Council to vote on having a Town Hall meeting
to allow Edmonds taxpayers to air their views on the potential purchase of the building and she declined
to let the Council vote. If there had been an agreement to that democratic process, the Council would have
citizens’ feedback/opinions regarding the purchase. She explained in 1997 a previous Council declined an
offer from the property owner to give the property to the City for free and it was given to the Edmonds
Community College. The City now has an opportunity to purchase the building. She has no qualms with
any other entity purchasing the building but felt it would have been the right thing to do to allow
taxpayers to voice their opinion. She recognized many citizens with young children who enjoy the
hometown activities do not have time for small town politics. Most towns are run by older people who
often lack the aspiration for a legacy. Citizens look to the City Council to balance all needs, now and in
the future. What the Council thinks is too expensive now will be unattainable in the future and there will
be no land for the Council to consider purchasing. She commented on the vision of people on the east
coast, stating Edmonds also needs a vision.

Mr. Hauss relayed staff’s recommendation that the City Council approve the TIP.
Councilmember Buckshnis gave kudos to staff for securing grants, especially the $500,000 for the
Waterfront At-Grade Crossing Study. She remarked people continue to call her about Sunset Avenue; she
asked whether that was still in a testing phase and how it will be tested. Public Works Director Phil
Williams said it was not a test but rather an evaluation over time. He is trying to hire a summer intern who
will make physical counts regarding percentage of parking used, illegal parking, etc. That data would be
summarized and presented to the Council.
Packet Page 8 of 224
Councilmember Buckshnis asked when the evaluation period ended. Mr. Williams answered a year would
be the end of August. He was hopefully a good amount of data would be available by then. Data from the
first months as everyone was learning about the new geometry may be less important and the more
current data may be more relevant. Councilmember Buckshnis said the biggest concern she hears is
bicycles, the path being multiuse and bicycles riding in the street when there are people on the path. She
asked how the multiuse path would be evaluated. Mr. Williams commented that is difficult to measure; he
has also seen bicyclists go into the street when others are using the path. He said anecdotal information as
well as data is important.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked how the project cost morphed up to nearly $2.3 million with the entire
project completed in 2019. Mr. Williams answered that was a placeholder; he doubted the project would
reach that magnitude, a path for much of the length of Sunset, particularly where BNSF’s ownership
intrudes onto the existing street. It would be difficult to get grant funding for a project on BNSF’s
property without their express permission long term which BNSF will not provide. BNSF will lease
property for a year which would grant funding difficult and likely require a short term project funded with
local funds. He envisioned a considerably scaled down project from what was originally proposed.
Councilmember Petso thanked staff for the exhibit that isolates the changes from last year and since June
9. One of changes proposed to be made this year is to change the Sunset project from sidewalk to
multiuse path. She planned to make motion to not make that change. With regard to the changes since the
June 9 presentation, she asked about the addition of the project, 228th from Hwy 99 to 95th Place,
observing that goes significantly through Esperance. She asked whether the City will partner with
Snohomish County for funding. Mr. Hauss said that project was identified with the 228th project that is
currently underway; design in 2021 was added. The City will coordinate with Snohomish County on
funding, grant applications, etc. Councilmember Petso observed most of that stretch is located in
Esperance. Mr. Hauss agreed approximately two-thirds of it was in Snohomish County. Councilmember
Petso concluded from his explanation there would be cooperation and funding participation from
Snohomish County.
Councilmember Petso referred to the ferry storage improvements from Dayton to Pine, noting that area
includes City Park, the treatment plant, the marsh and a wetland. She asked whether those would be
disturbed to make room for ferry traffic. Mr. Hauss answered more detailed analysis will be required but
the project is envisioned as restriping of the area southbound from the terminal converting that from two
lanes to one to provide more queue area in the northbound direction. The road will not be widened to
extend into any of the areas Councilmember Petso mentioned.
Councilmember Petso referred to the road diet to reduce travel lanes to create room for bike paths. She
recalled that was designed for 76th and the numbers show it should work even though the schools present
a potential problem. She recalled during Mr. Hauss’ presentation that that may be done on 212th pending
investigation whether the intersection delays were tolerable. She questioned why that was still in the plan
on 9th Avenue when history shows that it hasn’t worked due to the light at 220th and extra lanes at Walnut.
Mr. Williams said in studying the data, the ADT is 30,000 and not 40,000 as Councilmember Petso
mentioned in an email. The most recent data regarding the PM peak shows 3,073 movements through the
intersection. Modeling of the existing geometry with the existing traffic movements showed a level of
service (LOS) B; the City’s adopted intersection LOS at is D. Modeling of the proposed changes, a 3-lane
section south of the intersection and bike lanes up to the intersection and north, the same 2-lane
configuration, removing parking on one side and adding bike lanes, suggests the LOS will still be B with
the current traffic volumes.
Mr. Williams explained modeling of the existing and proposed geometry and projected 2035 traffic
volumes which includes movements from development at Pt. Wells, redevelopment at Westgate, and
traffic from assumed growth results in LOS C. He acknowledge the travel lanes would need to be
Packet Page 9 of 224
maintained through the intersection and one identified as a sharrow; there would be a dedicated bike lane
up to a certain distance from the intersection and then transition to a sharrow through the intersection and
then back to a dedicated bike lane. He summarized that would not change the capacity of the intersection
for vehicles.
Councilmember Petso said if that is the plan, the correct designation in the CIP and TIP should not be
road diet but bike lane/sharrow. Mr. Williams agreed the project could be identified that way.
Councilmember Petso said she was not just concerned with the Westgate intersection. For example at
Walnut, a temporary painting project that added a northbound lane significantly reduced peak hour
backups. She envisioned undoing that would be a significant step backward and asked if the additional
lane would be removed or a sharrow used at that intersection. Mr. Williams responded not all the issues
on the corridor have been figured out. He agreed that interim improvement has helped in the short term.
There may need to be another solution to accommodate bikes in that intersection but the design has not
yet been done. He acknowledged there will be design challenges with extending that improvement from
Main to Westgate including the 220th intersection. The idea of bicycle facilities on 9th/100th is meritorious
and should be kept in the plan. There will be several touchpoints for the Council once a project is funded.
Councilmember Petso said changing the description to bike lane/sharrow would resolve her concern.
Councilmember Petso referred to the double light at 238th and 100th/Firdale where that same treatment is
planned, noting the lights must be carefully timed to avoid congestion. She did not envision northbound
vehicles lane could be reduced. Mr. Williams agreed that would be reviewed as part of the project design.
Councilmember Bloom referred to Mr. Williams’ indication that an intern is being hired to do data
collection and asked when the Council will have an opportunity to provide input regarding what data will
collected and how that will be accomplished. Her understanding was Council would be involved in the
process of determining whether there would be surveys and how data would be collected. Mr. Williams
answered he did not see an intern contributing to a survey; that would be a different data gathering effort
and staff can provide Council a draft survey. The intern would spent time on Sunset during the summer
collecting objective data. Councilmember Bloom commented that should be done soon as it is July and
the testing period ends in August. Mr. Williams anticipated the evaluation would occur in the fall after a
full year of usage. Councilmember Bloom requested that be scheduled on the Council’s agenda. Council
President Fraley-Monillas agreed to work with Mr. Williams.
Councilmember Bloom asked why the previous funding level of $1.9 million was increased to $2.3
million when Mr. Williams has said it is unlikely that much would be spent on BNSF property. She
suggested leaving the funding at $1.9 million or even reducing it. Mr. Williams said the amount in the
TIP does not make a great deal of difference it is a placeholder. Staff used the original project scope and
updated the cost estimates and used information regarding utilities and improvements on Caspers. Those
elements may still be done; the improvements in the middle will be more problematic. A detailed scope
will not be available until after the evaluation when the Council determines what improvements should be
made. The $2.3 million amount was calculated by costing out the scope in the grant application.
Councilmember Bloom suggested leaving the cost the same because staff did not envision spending that
much. Mr. Williams said the revised amount best reflects the increase in the costs of the original scope.
Councilmember Bloom asked for a breakdown of the increase. Mr. Williams answered it included
utilities, inflation, increase costs for asphalt and construction materials, etc. Councilmember Bloom asked
what additional hard costs are included in the increased amount. Mr. Williams answered additional
stormwater improvements, noting because little design has been done, much of it is speculative at this
point. He hoped the $2.3 million was the high end. Councilmember Bloom suggested discussing Sunset
Avenue separately as there are a lot of questions. Mr. Williams said there is a concept for Sunset Avenue,
not a design. The scope was retained and the cost estimates updated as no decisions have been made to
change it.
Packet Page 10 of 224
Councilmember Nelson asked how the bike lane improvements on 9th/100th came about. Mr. Williams
answered it recognizes that 9th/100th is a natural corridor for non-motorized users, the most direct route
from Westgate to connections north. As a key corridor, staff sought to use the right-of-way in a way that
balances motorized and non-motorized users. The City’s Bike Plan identifies that corridor and putting
bike lanes on the corridor would be meritorious. Councilmember Nelson noted the difference between
LOS B and D over 20 years in an additional 15 seconds of delay. Mr. Hauss said staff has had numerous
meetings with the bike group regarding 9th/100th as well as many other bike projects. The bike group
initially suggested the 9th/100th bike lane a couple years ago.
Councilmember Johnson referred to the $625,000 Waterfront At-Grade Crossing Study of which $25,000
is provided by the Port, $500,000 from the State and $100,000 local match and the time period is 2016-
2017. Related to that project is $300,000 in 2016 for a trackside warning system. She preferred the
Waterfront At-Grade Crossing Study be completed before implementing the trackside warning system
which would only delay it a year.
Councilmember Johnson observed typically TIP projects take years to be completed. The very quick
implementation of the trackside warning system is unusual. Mr. Williams explained there are contractors
who install them all over United States; it is a cookie cutter approach and not a particularly complicated
design. Following an RFQ/P process, staff interviewed three teams today and will be recommending
selection in the next week. He did not agree the trackside warning system was in conflict or would be
contraindicated based on the results of the alternatives analysis. Whatever projects come from the At-
Grade Crossing Study likely will take a long time to develop and great benefit could be realized from the
wayside warning system in the meantime.
Councilmember Johnson responded the $300,000 commitment from the City from the General Fund or
Fund 112 could be used for other projects. To her it was a question of priorities and who makes that
decision. Mr. Williams said the next touchpoint for the Council would be approval of the contract which
identifies costs and timing. Taking the project off the list before that information is available may be
premature. Mayor Earling said citizens frequently contact the City looking forward to installation of
wayside horns. He hoped to keep that separate from the alternatives analysis. Councilmember Johnson
said citizens also contact the City about pedestrian improvements to access Seaview Elementary and other
missing links. She summarized this is a key question of priorities for the City Council.
Council President Fraley-Monillas expressed support for retaining the full amount for Sunset Avenue in
the TIP because the extent of the project is not yet known and it would be short-sighted to reduce the
amount. She asked whether any other north-sound connections for bike lanes that do not go through
neighborhoods had been considered. Mr. Hauss said 9th/100th is the most direct route between Edmonds
and Shoreline. He identified an alternative route north of the cemetery on 226th and 15th; the route on
9th/100th from 238th to the cemetery is .75 mile and the route through the neighborhood is 1.5 miles.
Council President Fraley-Monillas observed the alternative route was on 2-lane residential streets. Mr.
Hauss said bike improvements on residential streets would likely be sharrows and bike route signage as
there is not space available for a bike lane due to parking. Council President Fraley-Monillas was not
interested in having bike lanes in residential areas, envisioning that would create disaster. Mr. Hauss
identified other possible alternatives that were less direct than 9th/100th.
Mayor Earling opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Peter Hallson, Edmonds, said he is an avid cyclist, Co-chair of the Edmonds Bicycle Advocacy Group
(EBAG), a member of the Cascade Bike Club, a ride leader, and is responsible for safety training and
tracking for the Club. He explained the EBAG worked closely with Mr. Hauss for a number of years
defining safe and usable bike routes in the City and recommended bike-related facilities in the TIP that
Packet Page 11 of 224
have been updated over the past year. The facilities in the plan are not just theoretical, but have been
tested and accommodate commuters and recreational riders traveling in all directions. A good example is
9th/100th; it is a well-defined, busy bicycle route, a destination route through Edmonds from Shoreline to
Meadowdale and points north. He supported cyclists having a way to get there in an efficient manner,
considering time, distance and safety. The 9th/100th route is one of many that resulted from a study of all
the routes in the area. Bike-Link, funded by Verdant over the next three years, will provide bike
connections between Edmonds, Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace and Edmonds, enhancing the ability
for cyclists to travel with confidence and safety to a number of important destinations. He recommended
approval of TIP as presented, specifically the bicycle routes. He relayed a saying from Cascade daily
rides, “act like a car,” noting bicyclists fare best when they act and are treated like drivers of vehicles.
Don Feine, Edmonds, member of the EBAG and the Transportation Committee for the Transportation
Master Plan, voiced his support for the TIP as presented, noting staff extensively involved the
Transportation Committee and EBAG. With regard to the 9th Avenue bike route, he developed the 2000
Bikeway Comprehensive Plan while employed by the City and 9th was identified at that time. It is signed
as a regional bike route and is a regional link to Shoreline and into Edmonds. It is widely used, and he
uses it himself. He was highly supportive of continuing to use 9th as a bike route and making it safer for
bikes.
Jenny Anttila, Edmonds, expressed support for the trackside warning system, explaining Edmonds has
suffering with train noise for years; delaying it again would be a travesty. The train in Edmonds is very
noisy particularly at night; $300,000 is not a lot of money when the City Council has not done anything
about train noise for many years. She appreciated Councilmember Johnson’s comments about sidewalks,
pointing out existing sidewalks are often obstructed by overgrown vegetation. With regard to Sunset
Avenue, she compared it to slowly boiling a frog; it was marked in the hope people would get used to it
and slowly making people accept it. There are too many cars parked on Sunset particularly from the south
end to the middle, cars often leave their engines running, and the road is very narrow. The path is too
narrow for bicycles and should be wider but there is not enough street width. She hoped the Council
would conclude it was a bad idea overall, the improvements are too expensive and it is a perfectly quiet
street much of which the City does not own.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, pointed out the page numbers in the May 15 printing of the TIP did not
match the TIP in tonight’s packet, making them difficult to compare. He suggested stormwater
improvements on Sunset Avenue be funded by the Stormwater Utility. He referred to safety projects at
238th, 84th, SR-104 access management, Hwy 99 access management and 228th, pointing out no safety
improvements are planned for Edmonds Way/100th/Westgate even though collisions exceed 1.0
collisions/million vehicles. Page 344 indicates that intersection had 90 collisions or 1.4 collisions/million.
He concluded the traffic at Westgate has not been effectively analyzed and it remains a problem. Next, he
referred to the annual street overlay, pointing out there was no mention of using chip seal as a method.
Snohomish County is doing chip seal in several municipalities but not in Edmonds. He recommended
chip seal be included in the City’s street preservation program.
Hearing no further comment, Mayor Earling closed the public hearing. He advised approval of the TIP
will be scheduled on next week’s agenda. Councilmember Petso requested it be an agenda item for full
Council and not on the Consent Agenda as she planned to propose some changes.
Councilmember Bloom inquired about chip seal. Mr. Williams said there are no chip seal projects in 2015
as no appropriate locations were identified and staff is still evaluating how the three chip seal projects
area holding up. There is no implied ceasing the use of chip seal in Edmonds; there just are none proposed
in the 2015 preservation program. Mr. Hauss referred to the purpose of the Annual Street Preservation
Program states grind pavement, overlay, chip seal and slurry seal. A variety of methods are used; there is
no chip seal in the 2015 program but it not excluded as an option in future years.

6A. APPOINTMENT TO FILL TWO VACANCIES ON THE EDMONDS CITIZENS' TREE BOARD
Council President Fraley-Monillas advised Council has reviewed three applications for the Tree Board
after two Tree Board members resigned. A third member, Anna Heckman, resigned from the Tree Board
this week, enabling Council to appoint all three applicants.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
APPROVE ALL THREE APPLICANTS TO THE TREE BOARD, BARBARA CHASE, ALBERT
(JED) MARSHALL AND CRANE STAVIG.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented she knew Ms. Chase and Mr. Stavig, they are members of the
Edmonds Floretum Garden Club and are very knowledgeable about trees, flowers, etc.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said Mr. Marshall has applied for previous Tree Board vacancies and
has special interest in the Tree Board.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
7. CLOSED RECORD REVIEW AND ACTION ON HEARING EXAMINER'S APPROVAL OF
VARIANCE FOR 9/11 MEMORIAL (PLN20150017)
Mayor Earling explained the purpose of this closed record hearing is for the City Council to consider the
recommendation of the Hearing Examiner regarding the application of David Erickson on behalf of the
Firefighters of Local 1828 and Snohomish County Fire District #1. The case number is PLN20150017,
setback variance. Tonight’s hearing follows a Type III-B process where the Hearing Examiner forwards a
recommendation to the City Council for final decision. Unlike the hearing before the Hearing Examiner,
participation in tonight’s hearing is limited to parties of record (POR). POR include the applicant, any
person who testified at the open record public hearing on the application and any person who individually
submitted written comment regarding the application at the open record public hearing.
The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine requires this hearing be fair in form, substance and appearance; the
hearing must not only be fair but also must appear to be fair. Mayor Earling asked whether any member
of the decision-making body had engaged in any oral or written communication with the opponents or
proponents of the project outside of the presence of the other party.
Councilmember Johnson said she was aware of the fundraising efforts and had attended 9/11 memorial
events in the past. Councilmember Buckshnis said she has no conflicts. Councilmember Bloom said she
has no conflicts. Councilmember Nelson said he has no conflict and no contact with anyone working on
this project. Councilmember Petso said the only contact she has had was a short email from Parks &
Recreation Director Carrie Hite today. Council President Fraley-Monillas said she has had no contact but
attended a ceremony when the beam was brought to Edmonds. Mayor Earling said he has no conflict but
also attended the ceremony where the steel beam was presented.
Mayor Earling asked whether any member of Council had a conflict of interest or was unable to consider
the matter in fair and objective manner. Council President Fraley-Monillas, Councilmembers Nelson,
Bloom, Buckshnis, Petso and Johnson, and Mayor Earling said they were able to hear the matter in a fair
and objective manner.
Mayor Earling asked if anyone in the audience objected to his or any Councilmember’s participation as a
decision maker in the hearing. No objections were voiced.
Packet Page 13 of 224
Mayor Earling asked the Council whether they agreed to the following procedure: five minute
introduction by staff, five minutes for oral argument by the applicant followed by questions of staff and/or
the applicant. No other parties spoke before the hearing examiner.
Development Services Director Shane Hope introduced Sean Conrad, Associate Planner, who has been
employed by the City for approximately a year. Mr. Conrad explained the reason the variance request was
before the Council was because the applicant is public agency. Typically variances are considered by the
Hearing Examiner; in this case, Snohomish County Fire District #1 is requiring a zoning variance for
setback to allow installation of a 9/11 memorial monument. Per the code, when a public agency requests a
zoning variance, it goes to the Hearing Examiner for recommendation and to the City Council for
consideration.
He displayed a vicinity map, stating the project site was approximately 500 feet north of Council
Chambers at the Fallen Firefighter Memorial Park at 6th Avenue N & Sprague Street. He displayed a
zoning map, explaining the park site is zoned Public Use which requires a 20-foot structure setback from
streets. With those setbacks from Sprague and 6th Avenue N, a variance is needed to accommodate
installation of the memorial.
He displayed an aerial view of the park, identifying the approximate location of the 9/11 memorial
monument and an existing memorial sculpture honoring Captain Bill Angel that will be moved slightly to
the east to accommodate the installation of the 9/11 memorial. He provided a photograph of the park
looking south. He displayed a site plan showing the approximate location of the 9/11 memorial
monument located between Sprague Street and the parking lot and slightly within the 20-foot setbacks.
He displayed a model rendering of the 9/11 memorial monument, advising it is approximately 9 feet in
height, well within the height restrictions of the Public Use zone. The lighting associated with the
memorial is within the standards of the zone.
Mr. Conrad provided an aerial photo of the park identifying the 20-foot setback which consume
approximately 90% of the park. A small area of the park is outside the setbacks but approval of the
installation of the memorial monument required it be moved slightly within the 20-foot setback on
Sprague Street.
The Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on May 28, 2015. The applicant spoke in favor. The
Planning Department received no comments. The Hearing Examiner recommended approval with
conditions:
1. The installation of the 9/11 Memorial monument, relocation of the existing sculpture honoring
Captain Bill Angel, landscaping and lighting shall substantially comply with the plans submitted
with this application.
2. The Applicant shall obtain a building permit prior to installing the monument.
• Compliance with Engineering codes and construction standards will be reviewed with the
building permit application for development of the site. Applicant is encouraged, wherever
feasible, to incorporate pervious pavements, rain gardens and/or other low impact
development techniques into the project design.
• The location of the monument shall be in accordance with Edmonds City Code, 9.25, Street
Obstruction and located such that the existing City utilities may be maintained, repaired, and
operated.
Applicant
Dave Erickson, a firefighter in Edmonds for 25 years, noted there have been variances granted in the past
and he did not envision this artifact would be an exception. Three items that exceed three feet (the
definition of a structure) have been located in park, the first a totem pole that was subsequently removed
due to decay. Following removal of the totem pole, the Fire Department created a Fallen Firefighter
Packet Page 14 of 224
Memorial Park in the location and a monument honoring fallen Fire Captain Bill Angel was erected. Mr.
Erickson said the park, approximately the size of the open area in front of the Council dais, also includes
a fallen firefighter flagpole that honors firefighters who have died in the line of duty and flies at half-staff
for three days for every firefighter that passed in America.
The third item proposed to be located in the park is the 9/11 memorial monument. The artifact proposed
to be included in the monument is a one-ton steel beam recovered from ground zero of the World Trade
Center attacks on September 11, 2001. Snohomish County Fire District 1 was fortunate to obtain it
following a lengthy process; only 1,117 items were released from the Port Authority of New York to be
used in memorials around the United States. The Port Authority had a number of contingencies for siting
including no private ownership of the artifact at any time, free and constant access by the public 24 hours
a day and no tax dollars used as a funding source for construction of the memorial. All the funds for the
memorial are private donations. The fund raising portion of the project has been completed and the
construction process is beginning.
Fire District 1 had reserved the item and was looking for a suitable site shortly after the merger with
Edmonds. He knew of an outstanding site, Edmonds’ existing Fallen Firefighter Memorial Park in front
of Fire Station 17 that already honors fallen firefighters. The 9/11 memorial monument will honor the
nearly 3,000 people who perished that day including 343 firefighters, 60 police officers and over 2,500
citizens. Many have not had an opportunity go to ground zero and it was important to bring a piece of the
building to Edmonds to allow people to find solace in the very powerful and emotional piece. He was
honored to have it in Edmonds and looked forward to its installation. He endorsed the Hearing
Examiner’s recommendation and urged the Council’s approval of the variance.
There were no Council questions.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BUCKSHNIS, TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE FOR THE 9/11 MEMORIAL. MOTION
CARRIED UNAIMOUSLY.
Mayor Earling asked when the Findings of Fact would be available for Council approval. City Attorney
Jeff Taraday said his interpretation of the motion was the City Council approved the Hearing Examiner’s
recommendation for the variance exactly as recommended, it was debatable that findings were needed.
Because the Council normally adopts finding, he will have them prepared for approval on next week’s
Consent Agenda.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.
9. REVIEW OF DRAFT 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE WITH REVISIONS
Development Services Director Shane Hope explained under State GMA, most cities and counties must
complete a major review and update of their Comprehensive Plan at least every eight years. The current
deadline is June 30, 2015. She commented on the public process that has occurred as part of the update
and the update schedule that included review and several public meetings on each element. Several
questions arose at the Council’s last review on June 23:
• Why was phrase “commercial” or mixed use” removed from description of development
compatible with Edmonds Crossing project? Not clear on original reason, probably just didn’t
seem necessary. If City Council wants to either reinsert the language or leave as is, no problem.
• If above phrase removed, can remaining part of the Unocal hillside property be entirely multi-
family (rather than mixed use)? No, Edmonds zoning does not allow it.
Packet Page 15 of 224
• Suggestion to change the annual performance measure of utilities element (Lineal feet of old
water, sewer and stormwater mains replace or rehabilitated). Public Works Department has
confirmed this is good overall utilities performance measure.
Ms. Hope reviewed minor changes made to the draft Comprehensive Plan since June 23 based on Council
questions:
• Refined land use data and made adjustment to text. See page 8 and figures 9 and 11 of Exhibit A
(or Exhibit A packet pages 18, 49 and 51)
o New figure for park acreage (using new calculation method to be closer to that used in the
PROS Plan)
o New figure for commercial acreage to include districts in which commercial is specifically
allowed or required
• Updated and streamlined Edmonds Crossing narrative
o See pages 16, 44, 47 and 49-54 of Exhibit A (or Exhibit A packet pages 25, 54, 57 and 59-64)
Note: A new drawing has been included because the existing one is from the Environmental
Impact Statement and is the best we have for now.
• Added brief “Implementation Action Performance Measure” subsection to General section
o Page 17-18 of Exhibit A (or Exhibit A packet pages 27-28 of 222)
Note: information on adopted measures will be reviewed annually with City Council as part
of process
• Took pertinent information from Stevens Memorial Master Plan (1994) and placed in
Medical/Highway 99 Activity Center narrative, Goal E
o See page 61 of Exhibit A or packet page 71 of 222)
• Added Edmonds Urban Growth Area Map (a previous feature of Comprehensive Plan but not
included in the last update)
o See page 83 of Exhibit A (or packet page 98 of 222)
• Minor change to Utilities Element on page 134 of Exhibit A (or Exhibit A packet page 144 of
222)
o Solid Waste Goal D: Continue to investigate policies for a Zero Waste Strategy, applicable to
City operations
D.1 Pursue and implement strategies to eliminate or reduce waste and pollution in the
production and lifecycle of materials
D.2 Consider action plans and measure that encourage residents, businesses, and
agencies to use, reuse, and recycle materials judiciously.
D.3 Eliminate or reduce use of hazardous materials in City operations
D.4 Take a leadership role in reducing waste for City operations and events
• Minor updates to CFP
o Arts Center/Museum – listed cost as “unknown”
This needs to be changed in one or more place (heading)
o Boys & Girls Club – changed to “Work with the nonprofit to assist in accommodating the
growth and changing needs of the club.” The cost changed to “unknown”
o Senior Center – narrative revised on first page, removed reference about rebuilding the center
o Minor revision yet to be made: slight rewording of capital facilities performance measure to
say: “Project delivery results – based on comparing projects in the Capital Facilities Plan to
what was actually done on the projects.”
• Updated Transportation Element (Exhibit B)
o Minor adjustment to project costs, including addition of projects identified I SR-104
Complete Street Corridor Analysis
o Minor edits to figures and tables
o Indicated that the proposed bicycle improvements along 9th Ave/100th Ave are subject to
further analysis (before final determination made)
Packet Page 16 of 224
o Added reallocation of REET Funds to Transportation projects as possible funding option
Appendices will include:
• Streetscape Plan (2006)
• Street Tree Plan(2015) including minor updates to tree species list
o Several poor performing species were removed from list and replaced with other species (as
discussed by Tree Board, etc.)
o Could be further revised to reflect latest comments from Tree Board Member
Remove more tree species
Add new tree species
Clarify planting instructions
o Or wait until more complete update of Street Tree Plan in 2016
Ms. Hope reviewed the latest Street Tree Plan suggestions (not currently incorporated but could be)
• Remove following tree species:
o Amur maple, ash, grafted Japanese cherry trees, little leaf liden, Keith Warren hybrid maples,
Raywood ash, Norway maple, European beech
• Add following trees:
o Adirondack crab apple (in place of cherries)
o Silver linden (in place of little leaf linden)
o Golden rain (in place of ash)
o Freeman maple (where adequate overhead space)
o Windmill palms (in tight areas)
• Clarification for planting instructions
o Use same soil throughout root area with no pockets or zones of different material
Documents proposed for adoption by reference:
1. Community Cultural Plan (2014
2. Pros Plan (2014)
Note: Stevens Memorial Hospital Plan is removed because key content has been placed directly into
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element. In existing Comprehensive Plan, 20 plans are
adopted by reference.
Ms. Hope explained the Comprehensive Plan originally was to be considered for adoption tonight; due to
the changes, a request has been made to postpone adoption until July 21.
Councilmember Bloom referred to her earlier question about mixed use versus mix of uses,
acknowledging she has been told by Mr. Taraday and Ms. Hope that the terms are interchangeable. She
recalled when working on the Harbor Square Master Plan a citizen who said the Council was breaking the
law by not enforcing the Comprehensive Plan; their reference was the area was appropriate for a design
driven Master Plan with a mix of uses. She requested defining mix of uses and mixed use in the
Comprehensive Plan to be clear what is meant and suggested the definition of mix of uses as any
commercial use or any use that does not include residential, and mixed use as residential above first story
commercial. She was concerned with leaving it open to interpretation. Ms. Hope was cautious about
narrowing mixed use to mean only one thing in the Comprehensive Plan because it may affect other areas.
Currently mixed use and mix of uses means a combination of at least two different uses; it can be vertical
in the same building, on different properties or parts of properties. She was concerned defining it in the
Comprehensive Plan may unintentionally limit other things. If the concern was in a particular small part
of the City, Mr. Taraday suggested insert a phrase in the description of that area rather than defining the
term.
Packet Page 17 of 224
Councilmember Bloom said her concern is with the waterfront and downtown area. When the Council
voted against the Harbor Square Master Plan, they were essentially voting against residential and
commercial mixed use and the area is zoned General Commercial. She was concerned with lumping
multiple areas together in the Downtown/Waterfront Activity Center, noting the City has not gotten final
approval of the Shoreline Master Plan, there are issues related to the Unocal property, etc. She was
concerned with leaving it open to interpretation. She asked whether the waterfront area could be separated
out and addressed in more detail when there was clarity about Edmonds Crossing. Planning Manager Rob
Chave referred to page 57-58 regarding various districts and suggested including more detail in that
description rather than a definition.
Councilmember Bloom asked which district description would need to be changed. Mr. Chave said if the
concern was Harbor Square, that area is described under Master Plan Development on page 58. A phrase
could be inserted in that district description.
Councilmember Petso recalled when the changes for Westgate were approved, she was concerned the
zoning map was not consistent with Comprehensive Plan map. The Westgate changes moved ahead
because it would have required a separate Comprehensive Plan amendment which proponents of the
Westgate plan were unwilling to wait for. It was her understanding the changes would be made with the
Comprehensive Plan rewrite; however the map has not yet been changed. Ms. Hope said her focus with
the update has been on the language in the Comprehensive Plan and the description of the Westgate and
not on the map. In talking with staff, it was realized the zoning of two properties at the south edge of
Westgate were General Commercial but they were designated otherwise in the Comprehensive Plan. It
would be ideal to adjust map but she was uncertain whether more public process would be needed for a
map change that had not previously been discussed. There are two options, 1) before Council adoption
research whether that could be done as a matter of course, or 2) accomplish that in the next update.
Councilmember Buckshnis commended staff for a great job on the update and thanked staff for
incorporating the hospital information. She referred to Medical/Highway 99 Activity Center Goal C1
which refers to mixed use development but E1 refers mix of uses. Ms. Hope reiterated the terms mixed
use and mix of uses are used interchangeably. Councilmember Buckshnis said the update of the
Comprehensive Plan reads very well.
Councilmember Johnson said she was ready to approve the update and looked forward to the final
product. She requested Councilmembers be provided a hard copy of the Comprehensive Plan that
includes PROS Plan and Community Cultural Plan. Ms. Hope said she was happy to provide that to the
Councilmembers who want it.
Councilmember Bloom referred to the Comprehensive Plan designation map (page 38), and asked the
designation of the downtown/waterfront area that is labeled pink with spots. Mr. Chave answered that is
the upper and lower yard Unocal site, the Port, commercial and condominium area, and Salish Crossing.
It is designated Master Plan Development. If there was interest in specific language for a particularly area,
the area would need to be specified or the language would apply to the entire designation.
Councilmember Bloom asked about the green area and dark pink area. Mr. Chave answered the green is
park and the marsh and the dark pink is Downtown Master Plan. Councilmember Bloom inquired about
the zoning of the area labeled pink with spots. Mr. Chave answered MP1 and 2 on the Unocal property.
MP1 is where the condominiums are; MP2 is the lower yard, potentially Edmonds Crossing. MP2 does
not allow entirely residential; it must be commercial or mixed use.
Councilmember Bloom recalled WSDOT saying they did not need residential, they only needed
commercial. That property is current in escrow and is being cleaned up by Unocal. Mr. Chave said the
MP2 zone is reserved for Edmonds Crossing but in the event Edmonds Crossing did not happen, it would
Packet Page 18 of 224
revert to a mixed use scheme. Before it could be developed mixed use, a declaration would need to be
made that Edmonds Crossing was not going to happen. Councilmember Bloom asked if developing that
property mixed use was consistent with the SMP. Mr. Chave did not recall the Shoreline designation but
believed it was. He summarized the zoning is MP1 and 2 on the Unocal site, across the railroad tracks to
the west on the Port property is zoned Commercial Waterfront.
Councilmember Bloom observed the SMP is in process. She asked whether the Comprehensive Plan
would need to be amended if there were any changes such as in response to the Port’s challenge of the
setbacks from the Marsh. Mr. Chave answered the SMP is part of the Comprehensive Plan. After the
SMP is ultimately approved, staff will review other regulations and the Comprehensive Plan and highlight
any inconsistencies. Councilmember Bloom asked when the City’s SMP will be approved. Mr. Chave
answered Ecology’s review is underway.
With regard to Councilmember Buckshnis’ comment about mixed use and mix of uses in the hospital
district, Councilmember Bloom suggested defining mixed use as mixed use within a building with
residential and mix of uses as within an area. Mr. Chave answered that would be problematic as the terms
are used interchangeably. The entire Land Use Element would need to be reviewed and a differentiation
made between the two terms. He recalled in the Medical/Highway 99 Activity Center, mixed use does not
have to be a single building but it can be arranged in different buildings such as a campus. Downtown is
different in that generally buildings are vertical mixed use although not exclusively. He feared defining
terms in an exclusive way would result in unexpected results. He suggested descriptive language targeted
for specific areas.
Mayor Earling advised the Comprehensive Plan update will be scheduled on the July 21, 2015 Council
agenda for action.
10. DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION REGARDING COUNCIL STUDY SESSIONS AND
COUNCIL COMMITTEES
Council President Fraley-Monillas recalled there have been numerous discussions regarding this issue and
numerous opinions.
Councilmember Johnson relayed she contacted each director last week to determine their preference
regarding study session versus committee. All the directors preferred the current study session, including
Police Chief Compaan, Finance Director Scott James, Development Services Director Shane Hope,
Economic Development & Community Services Director Patrick Doherty, Public Works Director Phil
Williams and Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite. She also contacted Mayor Earling and the City
Clerk; they both prefer the study session format. The reasons given include the openness and transparency
in the decision-making process, opportunity for twice a month study session instead of once a month,
everyone hears the same information at the same time, and study sessions have a better success rate for
Consent Agenda approval. She noted there were also a number of recommendations for improving study
sessions.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she has had many discussions with citizens. She displayed several folders
of documents representing hundreds of hours she and the City have spent on legal issues, financial issues
and Finance Directors. She noted the finance committee meetings were audio taped. She preferred to have
study sessions because the meetings were videoed.
Council President Fraley-Monillas commented on the openness and transparency of Councilmembers and
citizens hearing things at the same time. She could not support returning to committees meeting in
separate rooms and isolating Councilmembers from citizens. The past six months have made her a better
Councilmember because she is able to hear what is happening in all areas. Previously, there were separate
Packet Page 19 of 224
Finance, Public Services & Human Resources and Parks, Planning & Public Works committees and
Councilmembers were only able to attend one. She acknowledged there were problems with study
sessions; she agreed with Mr. Witenberg’s suggested improvements such as returning to the dais due to
difficulties with microphones, staff presentations at podium, grouping topics together, asking questions
before the meeting, and round-robin questions. She commented in the current structure, often one
Councilmember asks multiple questions which does not give other Councilmembers the ability to
participate. She summarized the most important aspect of study sessions is transparency because they are
televised.
Councilmember Petso recognized it appeared the Council was not changing back to committees. She
pointed out once committee meetings were recorded, they were fairly transparent, particularly since the
recordings could have been posted on the City’s website. If the Council continues with study sessions, she
asked for a greater commitment to ensuring Council has lead time; that items are not scheduled on the
Consent Agenda until they have been reviewed by Council. She observed there was a tendency by one
department to decide an item is not important enough for a televised presentation and review by all
Councilmembers and schedule it directly on the Consent Agenda. When that happens, it reduces the
Council and public to 3-4 days’ notice of an item. She requested Council be provided short presentations
on the financial report, pointing out the financial report on tonight’s Consent Agenda went straight to
Consent which is less transparent because there was no committee or Council discussion. She said one of
the benefits of committees was lead time. If things are not important enough for full Council and they are
scheduled directly on the Consent Agenda, that lead time is eliminated.
Council President Fraley-Monillas agreed with Councilmember Petso’s suggestion regarding lead time.
She acknowledged it was difficult to track what has been presented in a study session and how long ago.
She said that would require items always be presented at a study session before scheduling it on the
Consent Agenda.
Councilmember Bloom expressed concern with losing one of the ways citizens who were not comfortable
speaking at podium had to communicate with Councilmembers; the City does not have many ways for
citizens to communicate. She suggested the Council consider how they can increase the ability to have a
two-way conversations with citizens; that is the key to transparency, not being on camera. All the ways
she has suggested to have two-way conversations with citizens, such as a Council blog, have been
declined. Committees were the only way where on occasion there could be two-way conversation in a
more intimate setting with people who were interested in a particular issue and may not be comfortable on
camera speaking at the podium.
Councilmember Bloom said Councilmembers have tried having Town Hall meetings. She did one on
Westgate and the only support she had was from the Council’s Executive Assistant. The Council does not
have staff support for Town Hall meetings; Mayor Earling has staff support for his Town Hall meetings
but it was her understanding those were not two-way conversations. Some Councilmembers are not
comfortable with two-way conversation at committee meetings; she was very comfortable with it. She
recalled in previous discussions about study sessions versus committee meetings, staff said it provided an
opportunity for uncivil conversations and behavior. She recalled Councilmember Johnson referencing
improper behavior. She said what one person feels is uncivil or improper, another may see as robust
conversation. She planned to vote against changing to study sessions because of the loss of something
very significant without anything to replace it. She felt framing it as more transparent was disingenuous
because it ultimately eliminated a way to communicate with citizens.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said committee meetings were set up to be meetings between two
Councilmembers and staff; they were not intended to be an opportunity for involvement with citizens.
With regard to Town Hall meetings, Councilmember Buckshnis and she organized and held five with no
staff support. Councilmember have the option to hold a Town Hall meeting any time they want to. With
Packet Page 20 of 224
regard to two-way conversations, she agreed it was difficult to get input from more than a handful of
people. Citizens have many ways to interact with Councilmembers; she receives emails, phone calls, has
coffee with citizens, attends functions where citizens ask her questions, and is invited to speak and answer
questions. She assured there were opportunities for communication; committees were never intended to
be a way for citizens to express their views. She summarize the ability to listen to a taped meeting was not
as transparent as seeing the Council on television and hearing the debate.
Councilmember Nelson preferred Councilmembers hear information at the same time. He was troubled
there was a debate about what had occurred under the previous format. He agreed there was room for
improvements with the study session format but having everyone in same room, hearing the same
information and discussing it together was important. He agreed with asking questions round robin so that
there could be more discussion. He suggested a quarterly joint Council Town Hall where
Councilmembers could engage with citizens.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she always answers her phone and she hears from citizens. She referred
to the audio tape of a Finance Committee meeting two years ago where a $5.2 million receivable was
removed from the City’s books without the Council’s knowledge; that would not have happened if it
occurred at a videotaped Council meeting. She agreed with returning to study sessions.
Councilmember Johnson summarized the recommendations for improvements from directors that had not
been mentioned previously:
• Shorter agendas and shorter meetings
• Better equipment for visual presentation
• Return to dais for better sound system
• Routine items go straight to Consent with good written staff report but not an advance
presentation
Councilmember Johnson said she liked study sessions and would like to continue that format.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BUCKSHNIS, TO FORMALLY MOVE STUDY SESSIONS TO A COMMITTEE OF THE
WHOLE.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said there has been criticism in the past few months that the Council
study sessions were against the code. She preferred to formalize the process by amending the code.
Mr. Taraday asked whether the intent was to formalize study sessions by amending the code. Council
President Fraley-Monillas said that was the intent of her motion. Mr. Taraday asked whether all meetings
would start at 7:00 p.m. Council President Fraley-Monillas observed Councilmembers were nodding yes.
If the motion passes, Council President Fraley-Monillas requested Councilmembers send her their issues
so they can be addressed.
With regard to routine items going straight to the Consent Agenda, Councilmember Petso recalled that
has been a very dangerous practice in past. For example, a bond issue that was approved on the Consent
Agenda has caused the City numerous troubles. She suggest developing some kind of pre-Consent
process so that the public and Councilmembers have a week and a half notice of items that go straight to
Consent such as a page on the website where the Consent Agenda is posted in advance. If a
Councilmember did not view an item as appropriate for the Consent Agenda or would like a presentation,
a presentation could be requested.

Council President Fraley-Monillas said it was not her intent for issues to go straight to Consent. The
Council’s preference has been to have issues discussed at a study session prior to a business meeting. She
suggested she and Councilmembers Petso and Johnson flush the study session format out after she
receives input from the rest of the Council.
MOTION CARRIED (4-2), COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM AND COUNCILMEMBER PETSO
VOTING NO.
Councilmember Petso said she will participate on the committee Council President Fraley-Monillas
suggested. However, this was exactly why committees were needed; instead of inventing committee on
the fly, the matter could have gone to committee.
10A. EDMONDS CONFERENCE CENTER PURCHASE DISCUSSION
Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding that following the City’s $300,000 bid, the State
received a bid for $2.4 million from North Sound Church, a bid of $1.2 million from another church and
another bid from a private individual. In her conversation with Stephanie Fuller, State Department of
Enterprise Services, Ms. Fuller questioned why the State would sell the building to the City when the
City’s offer was only $300,000 and the City planned to tear the building down. Councilmember Bloom
relayed to Ms. Fuller that the City was told the building was not worth anything and that the repairs
exceeded the value of the building. Ms. Fuller said that was not accurate; the repairs were much lower
than were estimated.
Councilmember Bloom commented the Council based its bid on a repair estimate that apparently is much
higher than is accurate. Her primary concern is Ms. Anttila brought this to the Council’s attention in
January and the Council finally made a bid in June. This property was known to be available by others in
October. She was concerned the Council had not had a public process related to the purchase, no input
from citizens regarding how the property could be used, and the bid was based on information that more
than likely was inaccurate. The Council owes it to the public to increase its bid to $1 million to at least
extend it enough for the State to consider it a viable bid and give the public an opportunity to comment
and be involved in deciding whether it was a good public use.
Councilmember Bloom said she has serious concern about a church purchasing the property; churches do
not pay taxes and there will be no economic benefit of a church taking over this key property in the
middle of downtown. A former Council had an opportunity to acquire the property for free. This is a
valuable, key property in the Edmonds arts corridor but citizens have not been allowed to provide input
regarding how it could be used. The Council has not held a public hearing, yet the property has been
available since October 2014. Her primary concern was the lack of a public process. If the Council
submits an offer of $1 million, obviously the City would not be able to purchase it for $1 million if the
church is offering $2.4 million but it would extend the time to discuss offering more and the State has the
offsets to consider.
Councilmember Petso commented the Council generally discusses price in executive session. If the
Council has that discussion now or next week, is it still an executive session matter or is it okay to discuss
in open session. City Attorney Jeff Taraday explained property acquisition is discussed in executive
session when public knowledge of the price the City is willing to pay was likely to result in an increased
price. He did not know the Council’s top number; that was the type of thing that should be discussed in
executive session. Given that the bids of $2,4 million, $1.2 million and $1 million have been made public,
the Council could have a general discussion about whether they are interested in that ballpark without
settling on a specific number. It may be that that discussion will come to a quick resolution and there is no
need for an executive session.
Packet Page 22 of 224
Councilmember Petso relayed her understanding of Mr. Taraday’s explanation if the Council wanted to
discuss a different price, an executive session would be appropriate for that topic but the Council was not
necessarily the breaking law discussing it in open session. Mr. Taraday said any subsequent or higher
offer the Council directed staff to make would almost immediately be made a matter of public record
once it was submitted to the State. In this instance, there may be little reason to have continued discussion
in executive session.
Councilmember Petso said she heard tonight the City has until July 15 to revise its offer. Mr. Taraday
said the State indicated last week they would be willing to wait until then to see if the City was willing to
“get in the game.” Councilmember Petso said she did not recall being told that. Mr. Taraday said if she
was told, it would have been confidentially; he was uncertain how the citizen found out. Councilmember
Petso requested the Council discuss this at the July 14 meeting.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she was always of the opinion that the building did have some value but
the Council did not have a goal for the building. There have been comments in My Edmonds News and
she has received emails and phone calls; Ms. Anttilla suggested using it as a central park. She pointed out
there will be a beautiful Veterans Plaza two blocks from the 4th Avenue corridor and the 9/11 memorial
will be located in another plaza. She preferred to stop talking about the Edmonds Conference Center in
light of the upcoming senior center/community center, Veterans Plaza, Fallen Firefighters Memorial Park
as well as the Museum plaza in that area. The City does not need an aged building or even a new park
among its assets. Her main goal was purchasing civic fields, a cost of $1 million, which would be
beneficial to everyone and does not require any demolition.
Councilmember Bloom remarked there were a lot of ideas tossed around about how the property could be
used. If a church purchases the property, there is no opportunity for economic development. She
envisioned a different pool of money could be accessed to purchase the building versus the civic fields
because it is not open space. The people she talked to are interested in purchasing the property for a
variety of purposes. Purchasing the building, tearing it down and making the property into a park was
only one idea; other ideas included a parking lot, using the building as a business incubator or for
ArtWorks, in a cooperative relationship with Edmonds Center for the Arts or as a conference center. She
strongly believed the Council owed it to the public to have a conversation about it.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
PETSO, TO EXTEND MEETING TO 10:30 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Council President Fraley-Monillas relayed Councilmember Mesaros contacted her and said he was not
interested in putting any more money into this beyond the bid the City submitted. Council President
Fraley-Monillas said she had difficulty justifying that level of spending for a building in the middle of a
residential area with a tall apartment on one side. She did not see the value of the building compared to
many other areas of Edmonds. She agreed with Councilmember Mesaros that it would be a good buy to
potentially use the property for other things 10-15 year in the future when the City may have the money to
develop something there. She anticipated the City would need to spend over $2 million to purchase the
building. She asked about the City have the first right to purchase the building. Mr. Taraday said the
State’s notice and policy state a governmental agency like Edmonds would be entitled to some priority
upon disposition of the property. In a conference call he and Mr. Doherty had with the State last week
regarding that prioritization, the State essentially said that was an internal policy, not legally binding and
they would sell the property to the highest bidder.
Council President Fraley-Monillas observed the current highest bid is $2.4 million with an escalator to
$2.8 million. Mr. Taraday agreed, anticipating $2.4 would be the sale price as there was currently no other
offer near $2.4 million. If the City wanted to compete with the church that offered $2.4 million, the City
may theoretically need to bid up to $2.8 million to outbid them. Council President Fraley-Monillas
Packet Page 23 of 224
inquired about an escalator. Mr. Taraday explained an escalator is a clause a purchaser puts in the contract
indicating that even though their offer is X, they are willing to pay X plus some amount to outbid another
bidder.
Councilmember Petso reiterated her request that this be scheduled on the next week’s agenda. She was
uncertain she had been informed the Council had until July 15 to revise its offer and did not want to
foreclose that possibility via a discussion tonight that was not even on the agenda.
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM, TO
BRING THIS BACK AS A DISCUSSION ITEM NEXT WEEK. UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION
CARRIED (4-2); COUNCILMEMBERS BLOOM, JOHNSON, NELSON AND PETSO VOTING
YES, AND COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-
MONILLAS VOTING NO.
11. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling reported the legislature sort of adjourned this week; some outstanding issues still need to
be resolved. He listed the funds the City received:
• $500,000 for the At-Grade Waterfront Crossing Study
• Approximately $15 million in projects including $10 million for Highway 99 enhancements
• $2.8 million for parks projects that could include the purchase of civic playfield as well as repair
of the fishing pier
• $250,000 to repair the leaking ECA roof
• $1.25 million for a new senior/community center
• Over $600,000 for stormwater improvements in north Edmonds
Mayor Earling recognized the extraordinary effort by local legislators, staff, Councilmembers, and
himself. He planned to author a column that will be published Thursday regarding the projects funded by
the legislature.
Mayor Earling reported the legislature authorized Community Transit to seek voter approval of a 3/10th
increase for extended transit service. The Community Transit Board’s July 16 meeting will include
consideration of a ballot measure.
12. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council President Fraley-Monillas agreed the budget approved by the legislature includes a number of
good things for Edmonds. In response to comments by Ms. Anttila, she acknowledged she did not feel it
was inappropriate for the Council to hold Town Hall meetings on one issue. In the six years she has been
on the Council, dozens of issues have arisen that are of great concern to citizens. Council communication
with citizens has included live testimony at Council meetings, emails, phone calls as well as individual
meetings. The Council has never held Town Hall meetings on individual issues. Council has the ability to
vote whatever way they wish; no one person has the ability to say whether something will not occur. If a
Councilmember makes a motion to do something, the Council votes and with four affirmative votes, a
matter can proceed. It does not matter what the Council President wants to do; the Council makes that
decision.
Councilmember Nelson thanked the Chamber of Commerce for a wonderful 4th of July parade and City
staff who worked on the parade route and providing street closures as well as all the volunteers. It was a
wonderful celebration of the United States’ independence.
Packet Page 24 of 224
Councilmember Bloom advised she has made a formal request for the Council to discuss the crumb
rubber fields on the former Woodway High School where three school programs operate. She looked
forward to hearing from Mr. Taraday regarding that and hoped it could be scheduled on the agenda soon.
Councilmember Buckshnis echoed Councilmember Nelson’s comments; it was a great parade. She
thanked staff, the Chamber and everyone involved.
Councilmember Johnson reported there are a lot of events this week:
• July 15 Marina Beach open house in the Plaza Room
o Virtual open house available via the City’s website July 9-21
• July 15 Planning Board meeting will consider the Critical Areas Ordinance
• July 16 Mayor Earling’s Town Hall meeting at the hospital
• Sunday Concerts in the Park 3:00 PM, first concert Ballard Sedentary Sousa Band
• July 16 Walk Back in Time at the Edmonds Cemetery at 1:00 p.m.

Narrative
The Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility Upgrade will repair, replace and remodel the existing locker
rooms, a control room (4 work stations) and upgrade the lunchroom facility to accomodate staff needs.
The existing building was constructed in 1988. The mens locker room was undersized for the number of
occupants. The womens locker room was oversized for the typical number of occupants. The
original lockers were not sized appropriatly and the "group" shower walls, grout and and tile floors
showed signs of significant deterioration. The lunchroom lacked personal food storage space, an oven
and adaquate counter space to prepare lunches. The control room, which is shared by both Operator and
Maintenance Leads and the Pretreatment Technician was drab, had mismatched tile and furnishings. The
enire space was in need of paint.
The project was awarded to TEC Construction Inc. for $341,640, which includes tax. There were a total
of six approved change orders amounting in an increase of $25,753.44 including tax for a total project
cost of $367,393.44 which will be shared by our Wastewater Treatment Partners.
The project has been finished and all paper work complete. Upon acceptance, the retainage account will

Update City's Investment Policy
Recommendation
Council Motion: Approve Resolution No. XXXX, Amending City's Investment Policy.
Previous Council Action
Narrative
The Investment Policy was approved by City Council in April of 2007. Subsequently to the original
approval of the policy in 2007, Council authorized staff to invest in the Snohomish County Investment
Pool and also eliminated the Finance Committee.
The proposed amendments to the Investment Policy addresses both of these Council approved changes
and also adds a provision to include City deposits into the investment diversification formula.
1) Section 11.2 is amended to allow a maximum of 75% of the City's investment portfolio to be invested
into the Snohomish County Investment Pool.
2) Section 11.5 is a new provision to the investment diversity calculation that would include City bank
deposits as part of the calculation.
3) Sections 11.4 and 16 referenced the City's Finance Committee. The proposed amendments would
remove both of these reference from the Investment Policy.

1. Policy

INVESTMENT POLICY
Subject: Investment Policy Original Policy Date: April 4, 2007
Originating Department: Finance Division
Approved By: Shawn HunstockScott James, Director, Finance & Information Services
Packet Page 80 of 224
standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers
acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due
diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or
market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and
appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
4. Objective
The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City’s investment activities shall be:
• Safety: Safety of the principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments of the City of Edmonds shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the
preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To obtain this objective, diversification is
required in order that potential losses on individual securities do not exceed the income
generated from the remainder of the portfolio.
• Liquidity: The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City
of Edmonds to meet all operating requirements that might be reasonably anticipated.
• Return on Investment: The City’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of
attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into
account the City’s investment risk constraints and the cash flow characteristics of the
portfolio.
5. Delegation of Authority
Authority to manage the City’s investment program is hereby delegated to the Finance Director
who will act as the City’s Investment Officer and Treasurer. The Finance Director shall establish
written procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment
policy.
Procedures should include reference to: safekeeping, PSA master repurchase agreements, wire
transfer agreements, custody agreements and investment related banking services contracts. Such
procedures shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment
transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the
terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Finance Director, whom shall act as
the City’s Treasurer. The Treasurer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall
establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials.
6. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business
Packet Page 81 of 224
activity that may conflict with the proper execution of the investment program, or may impair
their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall
disclose to the City Council any material financial interests in financial institutions that conduct
business within this jurisdiction, and they shall further disclose any personal financial/investment
positions that could be related to the performance of the City’s portfolio. Employees and officers
shall subordinate their personal investment transactions to those of the City of Edmonds,
particularly with regard to the timing of purchases and sales.
7. Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
The Treasurer will maintain a list of financial institutions authorized to provide investment
services. In addition, a list will also be maintained of approved security broker/dealers selected
by credit worthiness. These may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under
Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15C3-1 (uniform net capital rule). No public deposits
shall be made except in qualified public depositaries as provided in Chapter 39.58 RCW.
All brokers/dealers and financial institutions who desire to do business with the City of Edmonds
must supply the Treasurer with the following:
• Audited financial statements
• Proof of National Association of Securities Dealers certification
• Certification of having read the City’s investment policy
• Proof of state registration
• Copy of city and state business licenses
The Treasurer will conduct an annual review of the financial condition of firms. A current
audited financial statement is required to be on file for each financial institution and
broker/dealer with whom the City of Edmonds invests. Investment purchases from any
institution or broker/dealer which does not satisfy the criteria established herein must be
approved in advance by the City Council.
8. Authorized and Suitable Investments
The City of Edmonds is empowered to invest in the following types of securities:
• U.S. Government obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, and U.S. government
instrumentality obligations, which have a liquid market with a readily determinable market
value;
• U.S. Treasury securities maturing in less than ten (10) years;
Packet Page 82 of 224
• Fully insured or collateralized certificates of deposit, and other evidences of deposit, at
qualified financial institutions that are approved by the Washington Public Deposit
Protection Commission (WPDPC).
• Banker’s acceptances, and commercial paper rated in the highest tier by a nationally
recognized rating agency;
• Investment-grade obligations of state, local governments and public authorities located
within the State of Washington;
• Local government investment pools, either state-administered or through joint powers
statutes and other intergovernmental agreement legislation.
9. Collateralization
Collateralization is required on repurchase agreements. In order to anticipate market changes and
provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will be (102%) of market value
of principal and accrued interest.
Pursuant to state statutes (RCW 35.98) the deposit of public funds and the placement of
investment deposits (i.e. time deposits, money market deposit accounts and savings deposits of
public funds) will be placed only with institutions approved by the Washington Public Deposit
Protection Commission (PDPC) as eligible for deposit of public funds. The maximum amount
placed with any one depository will not exceed the net worth of the institution as determined by
the PDPC. In accordance with PDPD regulations, such investments are 100% collateralized.
Collateral will always be held by an independent third party with whom the entity has a current
custodial agreement. A clearly marked evidence of ownership (safekeeping receipt) must be
supplied to the City and retained. The right of substitution is granted.
10. Safekeeping and Custody
All security transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by the City
of Edmonds shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis. Securities purchased
by the entity will be delivered against payment and held in a custodial safekeeping account. The
Treasurer will designate a third party custodian and safekeeping receipts will evidence all
transactions.
11. Diversification
The City of Edmonds will diversify its investments by security type and institution.
11.1 No more than fifty percent (50%) of the City’s portfolio, at the time of purchase, shall
Packet Page 83 of 224
be in any single financial institution.
11.2 Except that no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the City’s portfolio, at the time
of purchase, shall be invested in the Washington Local Government Investment Pool,
or the Snohomish County Investment Pool, and
11.3 No more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the City’s portfolio, at the time of
purchase, shall be invested in U.S. Treasury or Agency securities.
11.4 The City’s Finance Committee can recommend to the City Council variance to 11.1,
11.2 or 11.3 prior to purchase if it is deemed in the best overall benefit to the City.
11.5 In calculating the City of Edmonds Investment Mix, deposits held with the City’s
banking institution, will be considered.
12. Maximum Maturities
To the extent possible, the City of Edmonds will attempt to match its investments with
anticipated cash flow requirements.
12.1 At the time of investment, a minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the portfolio will be
comprised of investments maturing or available within one year.
12.2 At the time of investment, eighty percent (80%) of the portfolio will be comprised of
investments maturing or available within five (5) years and no investments shall have a
maturity exceeding ten (10) years, except when compatible with a specific fund’s
investment needs.
12.3 To provide for on-going market opportunity, investment maturities should be laddered
or staggered to avoid the risk resulting from overconcentration of portfolio assets in a
specific maturity.
12.4 The average maturity of the portfolio shall not exceed three and one half (3 ½) years or
forty-two months.
12.5 Any variance to 12.1, 12.2, 12.3 or 12.4 can be approved by City Council prior to
occurrence, and if deemed in the City’s best interest.
Reserve and retirement funds may be invested in securities exceeding ten (10) years if the
maturity of such investments are made to coincide as nearly as practical with the expected use of
the funds.
13. Internal Controls
The Treasurer shall establish an annual process of independent review by an external auditor.
This review will provide internal control by assuring compliance with policies and procedures.
Packet Page 84 of 224
14. Performance Standards
The investment portfolio will be designed to obtain an average rate of return during budgetary
and economic cycles, consistent with the investment objectives and cash flow needs.
The City’s investment strategy is to actively manage investment selection, maturity and yield to
maximize earnings. Given this strategy, the basis used by the Treasurer to determine
performance levels will be the six-month Treasury bill rate for non-reserve funds.
15. Reporting
The Treasurer shall provide the City Council consistent periodic reporting on a quarterly basis.
These reports shall provide an accurate and meaningful representation of the investment
portfolio, its performance versus the established benchmark, and proof of compliance with the
investment policy. Quarterly reports will include, at a minimum, the following:
• A listing of individual securities held at the end of the reporting period.
• Average life and final maturity of all investments listed.
• Coupon, discount or earnings rate.
• Par value, amortized book value and market value.
• Percentage of the portfolio in each investment category.
16. Investment Policy Adoption
The City’s investment policy shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council., upon
recommendation from the Finance Committee. The policy shall be reviewed on at least a bi-n
annual basis by the Mayor and/or their designeeFinance Committee and any modification to the
policy will be made upon approval by the City Council.

Type: Forward to Consent
Information
Subject Title
Authorization for Mayor to sign a Supplemental Agreement with Perteet for the 228th St. SW Corridor
Project.
Recommendation
Forward this item to the consent agenda for the City Council meeting on July 21, 2015.
Previous Council Action
On October 16, 2012, City Council authorized the Mayor to sign Supplemental Agreement #1 with
Perteet for the 228th St. SW Corridor Improvement project.
On June 11, 2013, City Council authorized the Mayor to sign Supplement Agreement #2 with Perteet for
the 228th St. SW Corridor Improvement project.
On April 15, 2014, City Council authorized the Mayor to sign Supplement Agreement #3 with Perteet for
the 228th St. SW Corridor Improvement project.
On September 9th, 2014, City Council authorized the Mayor to sign Supplement Agreement #4 with
Perteet for the 228th St. SW Corridor Improvement project.
On February 24, 2015, City Council authorized the Mayor to sign Supplement Agreement #7 with Perteet
for the 228th St. SW Corridor Improvement project.
Narrative
The project requires the construction of three retaining walls adjacent to 228th St. Two of the walls are
east of Highway 99 and will support the new street between 76th Ave and Highway 99. The third wall
will support an existing earth embankment on the south side of the 228th St west of Highway 99. The
plans call for modular block retaining walls at each location.
During the review of contractor submittals, it was determined that a portion of the wall on the south side
of 228th St, east of Highway 99, would have geogrid material over or near buried City utilities. The
geogrid is laid behind the modular block wall and could create problems in the future, if the City needs to
trench behind the wall to access and/or maintain the buried utilities. To avoid this conflict requires the
modification of 150 feet of modular block wall to a cantilevered soldier pile wall.
The second revision will replace 30 feet of modular block wall on the south side of 228th St, west of
Packet Page 93 of 224
Highway 99. The modification is necessary since the modular block wall dimensions within this section
of wall would not fit within the existing right of way.
This supplemental agreement will provide the design services to design the new sections of solider pile
walls. The fee is $38,020 and the cost will be paid for by project funds.

Subject Title
Discussion of the SR-104 Complete Street Corridor Analysis
Recommendation
This item will be presented at a future Council meeting for approval.
Previous Council Action
None.
Narrative
The SR-104 Corridor Analysis focuses on a 5-mile stretch of principal arterial, from 76th Ave W to the
Edmonds Ferry Terminal. Due to the various modes of transportation interfacing along this regional
corridor (high vehicle ADT, multiple bus stops, high pedestrian activity along certain sections, and
bicycle connections), many deficiencies exist. The purpose of this analysis was to develop a corridor
master plan, identifying safety, access management and streetscape improvements coordinated with
Complete Streets principles and integrated with the proposed form-based code for Westgate Village
(SR-104 & 100th Ave) and other zoning on SR-104.
The City has been working with the engineering firm Fehr and Peers on this Analysis. The traffic
modeling, accident history, access management, and safety of all modes of transportation were analyzed
along the entire corridor. Recommended improvements are identified to resolve those various
deficiencies and then prioritized based on a set of different criteria (safety, accessibility, identity,
financial, and grant eligibility). The document also doesn’t recommend the addition of bike facilities
along SR-104 and therefore identifies alternate routes (for north - south / east – west connections). The
interactions between transportation and land use in the Westgate Area were also examined and future
recommendations on this matter are included in Appendix C.
The Study will be presented to the Planning Board at an up-coming meeting (date: TBD). The project
began in October 2014 and is scheduled for completion in August 2015. Comments regarding this
analysis were received from citizens at two Open Houses (on February 25, 2014 & June 10,2015),
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) at a meeting on February 27, 2015, and the
SR-104 Committee (which held monthly meetings for the entire duration of the project).

STUDY PURPOSE AND METHODOLOGY
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The SR 104 Corridor Complete Streets Corridor Analysis evaluates existing transportation conditions, relies
on input from stakeholders and users, and analyzes potential safety and mobility improvements for
drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians, and transit. The study identifies key improvements that may be
included for future consideration in the city’s Capital Improvement Program.
SR 104, shown in Figure 1, extends for four miles between Downtown Edmonds and 76th Ave W, just west
of I-5. It serves as one of two primary east-west arterial connections in Edmonds.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
After consulting with stakeholders, a corridor vision was developed that is based on the following guiding
principles:
Support both local and regional mobility
Improve circulation and safety for biking, walking, and transit access
Reinforce land use vision, including at Westgate
Create a sense of arrival in Edmonds and tie to the waterfront
Coordinate with the state and other entities
Take a phased approach that provides benefits over time
Promote environmental sustainability and economic vitality
Working with a Technical Advisory Committee and conducting extensive public outreach, the City used
these principles to identify and prioritize the corridor recommendations outlined in this report.

FIGURE 1. STUDY AREA
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Community involvement was important in developing and implementing a successful corridor plan for SR
104. To prepare a common vision for future improvements to the corridor, the City gathered input from
the community at two public open houses and use of the city’s website. A technical advisory committee
Packet Page 111 of 224
July 2015 DRAFT 3
was also formed to serve as a forum for information sharing among city staff, City Council, WSDOT,
Community Transit, and the Planning Board. The project team conducted stakeholder interviews, created
informational materials and website content,
and facilitated the committee meetings.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The City identified key target audiences to
engage:
Businesses and residents along the
project corridor and within the City of
Edmonds
Users of the project corridor; local and
regional
Local agencies, such as Edmonds School
District and Community Transit
Washington State Department of
Transportation
City of Edmonds staff

CORRIDOR PROFILE
This section characterizes existing and future
conditions on SR 104 in the City of Edmonds.
The following sections describe the corridor
in terms of character, land, use, physical
conditions, and transportation operations.
CHARACTER
The four-mile section of SR 104 changes
character several times, from a downtown
environment near Puget Sound, to
neighborhood zones with frequent property
access, to commercial areas that serve
multiple businesses. The changing character
means that a single design concept may not
be appropriate along the entire corridor.
SR 104 can be thought of as having four
primary ‘zones’, as shown in Figure 2. The
project recommendations were tailored to
best meet the needs of the surrounding land
uses and roadway function as shown in these
zones.
WSDOT Main Street Design
WSDOT has developed Chapter 1150 of its Design
Manual (July 2014) that defines Context and Modally
Integrated Design- Main Streets. WSDOT realizes
that many state highway segments function as the
main streets of communities. The main streets not
only move people and goods, but provide a sense of
place. In these locations, there is a need for design
flexibility to address tradeoff aspects in design. These
tradeoffs can be articulated once a community vision
is created for a street.
Along SR 104, WSDOT and the City of Edmonds
collaborated to create a vision for the roadway, which
changes character throughout its length. While SR
104 is an important highway connector within the
region, and a Highway of Statewide Significance, it
also serves as one of the main streets for the
Edmonds community. This is particularly apparent in
the Westgate area, which the City is planning to
redevelop over time into a mixed use, pedestrian-
oriented neighborhood.
In this context, WSDOT is supportive of street design
on SR 104 that facilitates safe and efficient mobility
for all travel modes. This means that there are
tradeoffs between such factors as vehicle speed and
delay, roadway width, and pedestrian treatments.
WSDOT has indicated that it has no plans to widen SR
104 or to add turning lanes throughout its length.
The existing roadway configuration will allow for
efficient movement of vehicles through the corridor,
while still providing an opportunity to calm the traffic
speeds and facilitate safe and efficient pedestrian
movements.

Pedestrian-Oriented Ferry Waiting Area
The section of SR 104 in downtown Edmonds provides access to downtown land uses and also serves as a
waiting area for auto traffic entering and leaving the ferry terminal. The roadway accommodates a mix of
pedestrians, stopped cars, and other multimodal activities.
Insert Photo
Boulevard
Portions of the corridor at the east and west ends function like a boulevard, providing users with smooth
flowing entry and exit points to/from the city. Property access is limited in these segments.
Insert Photo
Commercial
The Commercial zone around the Westgate area serves all modes and trip types. The roadway in this area
accommodates business access and transit stops, emphasizing multimodal interaction and gateway
elements. Frequent pedestrian movements require safe crossings of SR 104 and side streets.
Insert Photo
Neighborhood Connections
The segment from around 95th Ave W and 240th St SW emphasizes connections to neighborhoods on
both sides of SR 104. The corridor in this area serves all trip types but focuses on balancing access needs
from side streets and driveways with safety for bicycle, pedestrian and auto trips.

LAND USE
Land use in the vicinity of SR 104 consists largely of single and multi-family homes combined with
commercial development focused in downtown Edmonds, Westgate, and SR 99. To the west of SR 104 are
two elementary schools and one K-8 school, as shown in Figure 3. At the west end of the corridor, SR
104 is adjacent to Edmonds City Park and Edmonds Marsh. Along the waterfront, SR 104 provides
convenient access to Brackett’s Landing and Marina Beach Park.
Table 1 summarizes existing land use and the amount of growth expected to occur by 2035 both citywide
and within approximately a one-half mile vicinity of SR 104. By 2035, almost 40 percent of the city’s
households and 50 percent of the employment will be located within the general SR 104 corridor.

PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
The guiding principles emphasize
addressing safety needs for all travel modes,
while maintaining the corridor’s identity.
This section describes the physical
conditions that frame many of the corridor’s
needs. Many of the safety concerns along
SR 104 relate to the physical conditions
along the corridor. The following section
describes:
Roadway cross-section
Traffic Control
Topography
Sight Distance
Drainage
Illumination
ROADWAY CROSS-SECTION
SR 104 is characterized as a four to five-lane roadway along its length. Figure 4 shows typical sections for
the existing roadway. The five-lane sections typify SR 104 where left turns are required. A four-lane
section is provided where SR 104 passes through the SR 99 interchange and approaching downtown
Edmonds. The roadway also provides ferry vehicle queuing north of Pine Street to the Edmonds Ferry
Terminal.
Most of the corridor has a right-of-way width of 80 feet. However, the right-of-way is not readily usable
in some sections due to slopes, vegetation, and other impediments. Bus pull-outs are provided at several
bus stops along SR 104.
WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE
COMMUNITY
Improving safety in the corridor is very
important; especially for bicycles and
pedestrians
Any improvements should be context
sensitive of the blend between
neighborhoods and commercial areas
Traveling the corridor can be difficult
during rush hours and during ferry
loading/unloading, but there is minimal
interest in widening the corridor for
more automobile lanes.
Providing good access to and from
Westgate is important

TRAFFIC CONTROL
Along the four-mile SR 104 corridor, eight traffic signals are in operation, as well as an emergency signal.
The signals locations are as follows (see Figure 4):
Traffic Signals:
Main St
Dayton St
226th St SW
100th Ave W
95th Pl W
236th St SW
244th St SW (2 SB)
76th Ave W
Emergency Signal:
232nd St SW
The emergency signal has a yellow light
for traffic along SR 104. In the event of an emergency response, vehicles along SR 104 will then be given
a red light. At 244th St SW, there are two coordinated signals for southbound traffic; northbound vehicles
only experience a signal if turning onto 244th St SW from SR 104.
Northbound traffic boarding the ferry has a designated holding area. This begins at the SR 104 and 5th
Avenue W split, and continues along the duration of the corridor. Signs along the corridor notify drivers
of the ferry loading and warn drivers of other vehicles making a right turn off of SR 104 and across the
ferry loading lanes. During ferry loading/unloading, traffic is controlled manually to enable continuous
movements to/from the boat.
Packet Page 120 of 224
July 2015 DRAFT 12
SIGHT DISTANCE
The SR 104 Corridor is characterized by curving
road segments with limited sight distance in
some sections. Motorists need adequate sigh
distance or visibility for turning onto and from SR
104. The combination of frequent driveway and
side street approaches to SR 104, along with
some tight roadway curves, creates several areas
with challenging or severely limited sight
distance.
Figure 5 shows those areas with sight distance
issues for side streets/driveways (i.e. drivers
wanting to turn onto SR 104) and for SR 104 itself
(i.e. drivers wanting to turn left from SR 104 into a
side street or driveway). These locations of
limited sight distance are correlated with the
locations of collisions, as described in a later
section.
An example of sight distance issues along SR 104 can be
seen going northbound when approaching Pine St. At
higher speeds, vehicles may be unable to react in time to a
right-turning vehicle out of Pine Street. The recent speed
limit reduction has helped improve access at this location.
Rockeries and overgrown brush encroach on the right of
way and restrict sight distance for cars attempting to turn
onto SR 104, as shown in the image on 232nd Street SW.
SR 104 Corridor Functional
Classification
SR 104 is one of two main east-west corridor s
connecting downtown Edmonds with SR 99
and I-5. It also provides a direct route to the
Ferry terminal. The City of Edmonds and
WSDOT classify SR 104 as a principal arterial.
SR 104 connects to one other principal arterial
– the north/south running SR 99. Minor
arterials intersect SR 104 at 5th Ave S, 100th Ave
W, 228th St SW, 238th St SW, and 76th Ave W.
These arterials feed Edmonds traffic from local
and collector streets onto the principal arterial
routes.

ACCESS MANAGEMENT
Numerous commercial and private driveways
along the corridor complicate the sight distance
and traffic safety issues. WSDOT requires strict
access management for new development, but
the existing access patterns result in driveways
that are hidden due to vegetation, topography or
geometric conditions.
Although there is limited access management,
some locations have features in place. In the
eastbound direction at 100th Ave W, a C-curb prevents vehicles from attempting an early left turn into the
QFC shopping center. The C-curb also prevents the cross traffic from coming out of the Bartell’s and
going straight across to QFC.
LIGHTING
Lighting is a direct contributor to safety. Existing light levels were determined using lighting analysis that
examined average light levels (i.e. average light visible per square foot on the roadway) and what is called
the uniformity ratio, the average light level to the darkest areas on the roadway. The analysis indicates that
below-standard light levels on SR 104 exist at both westbound and eastbound approaches to 97th Ave. W
and 236th St. SW, as well as mid corridor between 232nd Pl. SW and 236th St. SW. The remainder of the
corridor appears to meet the standards in the current configuration, but may warrant upgrades with
proposed improvements, such as intersection improvements to 100 th Ave. W (Westgate area). Refer to
Appendix A for a lighting diagram of the corridor.
Packet Page 124 of 224
July 2015 DRAFT 16
TRANSPORTATION OPERATIONS
The guiding principles emphasize safety for all modes. Understanding the transportation operations is
important to the safety issues. This section describes existing transportation operations along SR 104 for
each supported transportation mode: automobile, bicycle, pedestrians, and transit. Traffic flow, corridor
safety, speed, and parking are discussed as they relate to these four modes of travel.
TRAFFIC FLOW
Peak hour and average weekday daily traffic (AWDT) counts were collected at three locations along SR
104 in October 2014 (Figure 6). Counts were performed for a 24-hour period on Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday, days which represent the most typical
weekday traffic conditions. Daily traffic totals for the
three days were averaged to obtain the final AWDT
values.
The corridor carries from 11,000 daily vehicles (mostly
stopped or moving slowly) at the Pine Street
intersection to more than 20,000 daily vehicles
travelling at 40 mph at the east end of the corridor.
AM peak hour counts range from 700 vehicles at the
Pine Street intersection up to 1,300 vehicles at the
Westgate area near 100th Ave W. PM peak hour counts range from 900 vehicles at the west end of the
corridor to 1,600 vehicles between Westgate and the east end of the corridor.
Afternoon commute traffic on SR 104 is heaviest in the northbound direction, while morning commute
patterns show similar volumes in both directions. As with the daily counts, AM and PM peak hour
demand is heaviest near Westgate and the east end of the corridor.
FERRY TRAFFIC EFFECTS
Ferry loading and unloading can cause spikes
in vehicle volumes during a short timeframe.
Ferries leave Edmonds approximately every 45
minutes during peak periods, and with each
ferry holding up to 188 vehicles, this surge of
volume can affect the corridor.
Packet Page 125 of 224
July 2015 DRAFT 17
To better understand how peak hour travel patterns impact corridor traffic conditions, additional traffic
counts were collected at eight intersections along SR 104:
100th Avenue W
238th Street
Meridian Avenue
Sunset Avenue
Dayton Street
226th Street
95th Place W
236th Street SW

INTERSECTION TRAFFIC LEVEL OF SERVICE
Level of Service (LOS) is the primary measurement used to determine the operating quality of a roadway
segment or intersection. The quality of traffic conditions is graded into one of six LOS designations: A, B,
C, D, E, or F. Table 2 presents typical characteristics of the different LOS designations. LOS A and B
represent the fewest traffic slow-downs, and LOS C and D represent intermediate traffic congestion. LOS E
indicates that traffic conditions are at or approaching urban congestion; and LOS F indicates that traffic
volumes are at a high level of congestion and unstable traffic flow.
Level of Service Criteria
Methods described in the Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board 2010) were used to
calculate the LOS for signalized and stop-controlled intersections. Table 3 summarizes the LOS criteria for
signalized and stop-controlled intersections. LOS for intersections is determined by the average amount
of delay experienced by vehicles at the intersection. For stop-controlled intersections, LOS depends on the
average delay experienced by drivers on the stop-controlled approaches. Thus, for two-way or T-
intersections, LOS is based on the average delay experienced by vehicles entering the intersection on the
minor (stop-controlled) approaches. For all-way stop controlled intersections, LOS is determined by the
average delay for all movements through the intersection. The LOS criteria for stop-controlled
intersections have different threshold values than those for signalized intersections, primarily because
drivers expect different levels of performance from distinct types of transportation facilities. In general,
stop-controlled intersections are expected to carry lower volumes of traffic than signalized intersections.
Thus, for the same LOS, a lower level of delay is acceptable at stop-controlled intersections than it is for
signalized intersections.

TABLE 2. TYPICAL ROADWAY LEVEL OF SERVICE CHARACTERISTICS
Level of Service Characteristic Traffic Flow
A
Free flow – Describes a condition of free flow with low volumes and high
speeds. Freedom to select desired speeds and to maneuver within the
traffic stream is extremely high. Stopped delay at intersections is minimal.
B
Stable flow – Represents reasonable unimpeded traffic flow operations at
average travel speeds. The ability to maneuver within the traffic stream is
only slightly restricted and stopped delays are not bothersome. Drivers are
not generally subjected to appreciable tensions.
C
Stable flow – In the range of stable flow, but speeds and maneuverability
are more closely controlled by the higher volumes. The selection of speed is
now significantly affected by interactions with others in the traffic stream,
and maneuvering within the traffic stream required substantial vigilance on
the part of the user. The general level of comfort and convenience declines
noticeably at this level.
D
Stable flow – Represents high-density, but stable flow. Speed and freedom
to maneuver are severely restricted, and the driver or pedestrian
experiences a generally poor level of comfort and convenience- Small
increases in traffic flow will generally cause operational problems at this
level.
E
Unstable flow – Represents operating conditions at or near the maximum
capacity level. Freedom to maneuver within the traffic stream is extremely
difficult, and it is generally accomplished by forcing a vehicle or pedestrian
to "give way" to accommodate such maneuvers. Comfort and convenience
levels are extremely poor, and driver or pedestrian frustration is generally
high. Operations at this level are usually unstable, because small increases
in flow or minor disturbances within the traffic stream will cause breakdowns
F
Forced flow – Describes forced or breakdown flow, where volumes are
above theoretical capacity. This condition exists wherever the amount of
traffic approaching a point exceeds the amount that can traverse the point.
Queues form behind such locations, and operations within the queue are
characterized by stop-and-go waves that are extremely unstable. Vehicles
may progress at reasonable speeds for several hundred feet or more, and
then be required to stop in a cyclical fashion.

Figure 7 shows the existing and 2035 forecasted LOS values along SR 104. All intersections along the
corridor will experience vehicular growth between 2015 and 2035. The average intersection volumes are
expected to grow at an annual rate of 1.5%.
Table 4 summarizes the existing and future traffic operations at eight intersections along SR 104, listed
from downtown Edmonds at Main Street to the intersection of SR 104 and 76th Ave W.
The traffic operations at the Main St and Dayton St signalized intersections are strongly affected by ferry
operations. While these intersections operate at LOS A during typical PM peak hour conditions, delays
build temporarily during ferry loading and unloading.
The signalized intersection at 100th Avenue W operates at LOS C, increasing to LOS D in 2035. Queues
occasionally exceed the established left turn pockets on both northbound and southbound approaches.
The intersection at 238th St. SW is a side-street stop controlled intersection. This intersection sees
substantial delay on the eastbound approach (LOS E), despite having a very low traffic volume. This delay
will increase substantially by 2035 due to growing volumes on SR 104 and fewer gaps available for traffic
entering from 238th St.
SR 104 and 76th Ave W is technically a Shoreline intersection, but it affects the overall traffic operations
along SR 104. Currently it operates at LOS C, but it is expected to degrade to LOS E by 2035. Heavy
westbound left turn volumes exceed the turn lane storage and affect through traffic conditions on SR 104.
A table summarizing the specific intersection results is provided in Appendix D.

SAFETY
Along SR 104, the existing roadway geometry, multiple
driveway access points, relatively high vehicular
volumes and limited sight distance present potential
safety concerns. Collision data for vehicles were
collected to determine where design or operational
concerns translate into safety deficiencies.
Collision data were obtained from the City of Edmonds
over a period of five years (January 2009 – September
2014). There were a total of 324 collisions, for an
average of 68 collisions per year. Reports provided
details about individual collisions, including type,
probable cause, severity, and time-of-day
(summarized in the text box).
Vehicle collision rates at study intersections can be
seen in Table 4. While the total number of collisions is
larger than those on most other Edmonds roadways, this can be attributed to the larger volumes of
vehicles on the corridor. The collision rates are typical of urban arterials and do not indicate a substantial
safety problem. There are no recorded crashes that led to a fatality, although 33% of the collisions
resulted in injuries. Despite there not being many reported pedestrian or bicycle collisions, exposure is
high due to speeds and lack of separation from motor vehicles.

COLLISION STATISTICS
(JANUARY 2009 – SEPTEMBER
2014)
Magnitude
o SR 104 and 100th Ave W had
the largest collision rate.
o The segment with the most
collisions is between 5th Ave S
& east of 100th Ave W
o No segment or intersection
had high collision rates
Severity
o There were no reported
casualties during the
timeframe
o 33% of the 324 total crashes
led to an injury
The most cited collision type was
rear end.
Packet Page 132 of 224
July 2015 DRAFT 24
For analysis purposes, SR 104 was split into 5 segments, with each segment showing various collision
statistics. (See Figure 8.) In general, most collisions that occurred on SR 104 were from rear end
collisions, caused by abrupt stops or trailing vehicle unawareness. Sight distance issues were referenced
multiple times. The emergency signal on 232nd St SW, which is constantly flashing yellow, led to
confusion among some drivers. Drivers unaccustomed to the signal would decelerate, leading to trailing
vehicles being surprised and an increase in rear end collisions.
SPEED
Speed is an important factor in the safety and perception of comfort along SR 104. Speed studies were
conducted at three locations along SR 104 in both the northbound and southbound directions. Figure 9
and Table 5 summarize the posted speed limit and observed speed levels at these locations. Two values
are shown:
85th Percentile Speed – 85 percent of motorists travel below this speed, and 15 percent of
motorists exceed this speed. Typically, the 85th percentile speed is used to establish posted speed
limits.
Percent of drivers exceeding the speed limit
Times of day in which over 10% of people exceeded the speed limit by at least 10 mph.

July 2015 DRAFT 27
The north section of the corridor (i.e., 5th Ave S to Dayton Ave) experienced a speed limit drop from 40
mph to 35 mph in early 2015. The speed data in Table 5 were collected before the speed limit change,
and all values and comparisons reflect the 40 mph speed limit in place during the data collection.
Results show that the majority of drivers exceed the posted speed limit throughout the study area.
Speeding is more prevalent in the north and south sections, while speeds are closer to the speed limit in
the commercial center section. For example, in the northern section, over 80 percent of drivers exceed
the posted speed. While speeding occurs throughout the corridor, the amount of extreme speeding is
relatively low. Time of day data associated with the observations indicate that most extreme speeding
occurs at night, especially in the early hours before the AM peak occurs.

PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS
This section describes the pedestrian and bicycle facilities in the SR 104 study area.
Pedestrians
Pedestrian facilities include sidewalks and crosswalks. Along SR 104, sidewalks are provided on at least
one side of the road for most of the study area. The lone exception occurs to the south of 5 th Ave W,
where a pedestrian path is used off of the roadway instead. Figure 10 illustrates the existing sidewalks
and walkways within this portion of the city. The figure shows that the sidewalk system is most complete
inside the core area of downtown and the ferry terminal. Outside of this area, sidewalks are primarily
located along roads classified as collectors or arterials. Raised and striped walkways are generally
associated with schools, and provide safe walking routes.
Marked crosswalks are provided at the following locations:
Traffic Signals
Main St,
Dayton St.
226th St SW
100th Ave W
95th Pl W
236th St SW
76th Ave W
Midblock Crossings
North of Pine Street (new HAWK signal)
5th Ave S (SB only)
Pedestrian push buttons are located at all signalized intersections.
The federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990 and amended in 2008. ADA requires
jurisdictions to provide accessible sidewalks primarily through the installation of ADA-compliant sidewalk
ramps. The design requirements address various areas of concern such as curb alignment with crosswalks,
narrower sidewalk width, obstacles such as utility poles, placement of the sidewalk adjacent to the curb, or
the slope of the ramps. Most of the SR 104 sidewalk ramps were constructed before ADA requirements.
As pedestrian improvements have been made along the corridor, the City has upgraded sidewalk ramps
or installed new ones in accordance with current standards.

Bicycles
SR 104 is not a designated bicycle route and has no bicycle lanes existing along the travelled way.
However, Edmonds is a well-connected city, and various bicycle facilities are available parallel to, and
connecting with the corridor.
Figure 11 shows existing and proposed
bicycle facilities within this portion of the
city. These facilities include bicycle routes,
bicycle lanes, trails, sharrows and bicycle
parking facilities. The bicycle projects
include bicycle lanes or bicycle routes that
can be added as part of future roadway
improvement projects. The projects are
concentrated around two major efforts:
creating east-west bicycle connections
between downtown Edmonds and the
Interurban Trail, and creating north-south
bicycle connections between the northern
and southern portions of Edmonds.
While SR 104 itself is not a designated bicycle route, the following roadways provide existing or proposed
convenient and safe bicycle travel within the study area;
East-West Travel
Main St/Dayton St
220th St SW
226th St SW

3rd Ave S/Woodway Park RD
5th Ave S
9th Ave S/100th Ave W
84th Ave W
Bicycle parking is available throughout the city. The areas with the most parking options are along the
beaches, in downtown, and in the Westgate area.
There are also easy connections for cyclists to ferries, Sound Transit’s Sounder service, and Community
Transit. Bicycles are allowed on all of these systems. WSF provides a reduced fare for bicycles, Sound
Transit provides bicycle racks, and all Community Transit vehicles have bicycle racks.

TRANSIT
EXISTING
Community Transit provides public transit service along portions of SR 104. Figure 12 shows the two bus
routes (130 and 416) that serve the corridor. Details of bus routes are described below:
Route 130 – Route 130 connects Edmonds Station to Aurora Village Transit Center in Shoreline,
Mountlake Terrace Transit Center and Lynnwood Transit Center. The route serves downtown Edmonds via
W. Dayton St, then travels on 5th Avenue S to reach SR 104. There are only two stops each direction on SR
104 before the bus turns south onto 100th Avenue through the Firdale area. Route 130 operates
weekdays at 30 minute headways until 6pm and evenings, Saturdays/Sundays/Holidays with 60-minute
headways. Route 130 is the only local route that continues to serve the west side of the railroad tracks
with stops at Brackett’s Landing Park and the South County Center.
Route 416 – Route 416 is an express route between Edmonds and downtown Seattle. It serves SR 104
between 5th Avenue S and 238th St SW, where it turns off of SR 104 to approach the SWIFT Bus Rapid
Transit (BRT) station on SR 99. Route 416 operates five runs on weekdays southbound between 5:45 am –
8:00 AM and northbound between 3:30 pm – 6:00 PM.
Accessibility to fixed route transit is considered to be ideal when transit stops are located within 0.25 mile
of residents. Figure 12 shows that residents living along the SR 104 corridor have reasonably good
walking proximity to bus stops. As discussed previously, however, there are limited safe opportunities to
cross SR 104 for access to/from bus stops.
Sound Transit provides four (4) round trips from Edmonds Station on the Sounder North commuter rail
line. These trips travel south from Everett in the AM peak period and return north in the PM peak period.
King Street Station (Downtown Seattle) is the only destination available from Edmonds. In Seattle,
commuters can connect with Link Light Rail and other transit routes. Edmonds Station is also served by
Amtrak Cascades and Empire Builder trains traveling to Vancouver, BC and Chicago, IL respectively.
King County Metro operates peak hour express and local routes in the study area south of the
Snohomish-King County line. The Rapid Ride E line BRT provides frequent direct service from Aurora
Village Transit Center where it connects with Swift BRT throughout the Hwy 99 corridor to downtown
Seattle.

FUTURE
Figure 13 depicts a future transit system with potential priority transit corridors shown in green. These
priority corridors would emphasize good daily transit service and bus stop amenities to make transit
attractive. With the expected opening of Link Light Rail to Lynnwood during the planning horizon, it is
likely that several Community Transit bus routes will be redesigned within Edmonds and surrounding
areas to integrate with light rail. SR 104 would provide a major transit corridor to tie into Link and SWIFT
BRT. As vehicle capacity on the Ferry is constrained, the walk-on transit passengers will need to increase
to meet this rising demand for travel alternatives.
The future transit plan also recommends new transit service along 100th Ave W/9th Ave S between Main
Street and SR 104. This local bus service would provide enhanced accessibility to Westgate and provide
connections to the priority transit corridor bus services. Any service changes would need to be closely
coordinated with Community Transit.
In addition, the city should coordinate with Sound Transit on improvements that will attract more riders to
Sounder north train service and access to the SR 104 corridor. Edmonds should seek reverse peak-
direction trips that could bring travelers to town in the AM peak period and return them to Seattle and
points south in the PM peak period.
Bus Stops along SR 104
Community Transit currently uses the bus pull-outs provided at several locations along SR 104. However,
the agency prefers having buses stop in the travel lane to avoid delays reentering the traffic stream.
Currently, the traffic volumes along SR 104 do not create many delays for buses, and the volume of buses
on the corridor is fairly low. This could change in the future depending on the service provided along the
priority transit corridors and access to Sound Transit Link light rail. At that time, the city could consider
removing the bus pull-outs tied to other SR 104 enhancements.

WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES
The Edmonds-Kingston ferry route connects the northern portion of the Kitsap Peninsula and the Olympic
Peninsula with northern King and southern Snohomish Counties. The route is 4.5 nautical miles long, and
takes approximately 30 minutes to traverse. The Edmonds-Kingston route operates seven days per week
year round, with average headways ranging between 35 and 70 minutes.
In 2013, the Edmonds-Kingston route carried 3.9 million people, at an average of 12,200 passengers per
day. This is slightly less than the 4.3 million people the route carried in 2006. The annual Washington
State Ferries Traffic Statistics Report indicates that in-vehicle boardings were the most prevalent, with
about 86 percent of passengers boarding in this manner on the average weekday. Walk-on passengers
constituted 14 percent of all passengers on an average weekday.
PARKING
Parking along the SR 104 corridor is limited to private off-street lots. There is no on-street parking
allowed on SR 104 itself. The largest concentration of parking is within the Westgate commercial area,
with over 600 off-street spaces serving a variety of retail uses. While certain parking areas immediately
adjacent to the QFC and PCC supermarkets can be busy for short periods of the day, there is ample
parking capacity to meet the daily parking demands within the Westgate area. Parking supply and
demand will be closely monitored by the city as Westgate redevelops over time.

RECOMMENDED PLAN
The SR 104 Corridor Plan contains recommended projects that meet the study’s guiding
principles and can be phased over the next several years. The evaluated projects were developed
in coordination with the Technical Advisory Committee, public outreach, and city staff. The
following sections describe the corridor plan recommendations in further detail. The plan
recognizes that SR 104 passes through a wide variety of land use zones (see Figure 2) and is a
major route bisecting a predominantly conventional grid street system. This land use variety and
road alignment dictates the treatments that are appropriate to address safety, access, and
mobility needs.
The plan contains features important to the upgrade of corridor facilities for all modes-
pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit. The plan features include:
Basic roadway cross-section that contains two travel lanes in each direction and a
sidewalk along most sections. In some sections, the conversion of the two-way left-turn
lane to a median or dedicated turn lane (also referred to as access management
treatments) is an option.
Pedestrian crosswalks with flashing beacons.
Intersection treatments, such as traffic or pedestrian signal, turn pockets, turn radius
reductions (to shorten pedestrian crossing distances), better sight distance, and signage.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility improvements.
The corridor plan does not recommend the addition of vehicle travel lanes, because the
Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and traffic analyses completed as part of
the City’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan did not show the need for additional vehicle
capacity.
Completing all of the proposed corridor projects is an expensive undertaking and will take
several years to fund and implement. The plan sets priorities and identifies some ‘quick win’
projects that could be funded in the near future as funding becomes available. These ‘quick win’
projects are projects that best meet the criteria developed to support the guiding principles.

CORRIDOR PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS
The corridor plan consists of 20 projects grouped into six geographical regions from north
(Edmonds Ferry Terminal) to south, shown in Figures 14A to 14F and summarized in Table 6.
The total cost of the plan is approximately $8 million. The costs are considered to be
conservative with contingencies applied.

PROJECT PRIORITIZATION
The projects in Table 6 were rated using criteria that were developed based on the projects
guiding principles. The prioritization criteria were as follows:
Safety elements of the proposed projects were evaluated based on whether they
enhanced safety. Some traffic collision data along the corridor was available to review
mostly intersection related issues. Public input on locations with safety concerns were
also incorporated into the evaluation. Improvements that received a higher rating
improved a known high collision area or addressed a safety concern. Because there were
Packet Page 155 of 224
July 2015 DRAFT 47
no areas of recorded high collision rates all projects received either a lower or medium
rating.
Accessibility components of the proposed projects were evaluated whether they
provide access to various transportation modes along the corridor and/or connect land
uses. Projects that rated high improved access for multiple modes or removed an
existing access barrier (completed a movement that could not be made today).
Identity improvements were evaluated based on a proposed projects consistency with
the SR 104 corridors identity and surrounding land uses. Projects that enhanced the
identity of the area received a higher rating. Examples include additional ferry storage to
reduce the queue length and place marker signs such as the Westgate signs. Because all
projects were developed with the guiding principles in mind, no project was considered
to diminish (receive a lower rating) the identity of the corridor or surrounding land uses.
Financial investment for the proposed projects was evaluated based the range of
estimated improvement costs. Projects with an estimated construction cost of less than
$100,000 received a higher rating while improvements over $1 million received a lower
rating. These cost ranges represent a general level of complexity and difficulty for a
projects implementation. Half of the proposed projects are estimated to cost less than
$100,000.
Grant Eligibility was evaluated qualitatively based on the project teams (which included
city staff) understanding of the current grant environment. Generally, improvements that
benefited walking and bicycling, improved connections to schools, and/or addressed
safety received a higher rating.
Table 7 summarizes the weighting and rating for each prioritization criteria. Guidance on how
the ratings were evaluated is also provided.
TABLE 7. PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA AND WEIGHTING

Safety 5 Limited or no effect Direct safety benefit Improves high collision

Eligibility 4 Low likelihood of grant
funding
Likely to compete for

Good potential for grant/

Packet Page 156 of 224
July 2015 DRAFT 48
Table 6 includes the ratings (higher, medium, or lower) for each project using these criteria.
Appendix B includes the detailed prioritization results and more complete project descriptions.
A summary of project costs and the percent of costs for higher, medium, and lower ratings is
summarized in Table 9.
TABLE 8. RECOMMENDED PROJECTS
Rating Cost Percent of Cost
Higher $1,745 30%
Medium $4,895 35%
Lower $3,617 35%
Total $10,257 100%
Over 60 percent of the corridor plan costs are represented by proposed projects that rate as
higher or medium priority. The prioritization process will be helpful to the city seeking grant
funds or packaging project elements along the corridor.
QUICK WIN PROJECTS
Realizing the high implementation cost of the entire plan, the team identified several actions
that could produce immediate benefits – “quick wins”. Table 10 lists these quick win projects in
order of priority rating. The total quick win project costs total $1,305,000. Sixty (60) percent of
the quick win project costs are tied to higher or medium priority projects. Several are also tied to
the implementation of the Westgate Plan.

WESTGATE PLAN CONCEPT
A key part of the SR 104 Complete Streets Corridor Analysis was to examine transportation and land use
interactions within the Westgate area. Appendix C contains the results of this investigation, consisting
of a memorandum by Joseph Tovar (1/28/15) that summarizes the team’s review of a variety of
transportation, land use and urban design issues, and a memorandum by Fehr & Peers (1/26/15) that
focusses on the
transportation issues.
This section provides
additional
transportation
perspectives on the
following questions:
1. What are the
long-term
street lane
and width
requirements
on SR 104
and
100th Avenue W through Westgate?

What are the long-term street lane and width requirements on SR 104 and 100th Avenue W through
Westgate?
The team evaluated the current and forecasted (2035) traffic volumes, speeds and movements on
SR 104 and 100th Avenue W. Both SR 104 and 100th Avenue W have sufficient capacity to serve
forecasted increases in traffic volumes. The City may choose to re-stripe either or both roads and re-
phase the signal at the intersection to meet mobility and safety objectives; however, neither action
depends on the acquisition of additional right-of-way.
How should bicycles and pedestrians be
accommodated?
Bicycles
Bicycle facilities are not envisioned along SR 104,
but other parallel and connecting bicycle routes
are included within the comprehensive
transportation plan.
Bicycle lanes on 100th Avenue W are included in
the city’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan.
100th Avenue W is an important non-motorized
north/south link between the cities of Shoreline
and Edmonds. As discussed in the text box, the
team examined a potential rechannelization on
100th Avenue W to accommodate bicycle lanes.
Within Westgate, bicycles could be
accommodated on private property pursuant to
proposed amendments to the draft Westgate
Mixed Use (WMU) zoning district. These
enhancements would tie in well with the bicycle
treatments along 100th Avenue W.
What About Creating Bicycle Lanes on 100th Avenue?
The team analyzed an option to rechannelize 100th
Avenue W (from the south city boundary to Main
Street) to allow for dedicated bicycle lanes and safer
pedestrian crossings. This rechannelization would have
a 3-lane cross section plus bicycle lanes, planter strips
and sidewalks. The traffic analysis indicated that a 3-
lane section would operate acceptably under existing
traffic conditions. In the future, this design would also
be expected to work well to the south and north of SR
104. At the SR 104/100th Avenue intersection, vehicle
delays would increase on the north and south
approaches of 100th Avenue and may exceed the city’s
desirable Level of Service at that location. Retaining a
northbound right turn lane on 100th Avenue
approaching SR 104 would reduce vehicle delays;
however, some roadway widening might be needed to
retain the bicycle lane in that location.
The rechannelization concept represents a tradeoff
between auto queueing and delay versus and creating
a continuous bike lane and a ‘calmer’ traffic
environment. A more in-depth corridor analysis and
design is desirable to examine these tradeoffs.

July 2015 DRAFT 52
Pedestrians
Pedestrians need to have a safe and pleasant environment along SR 104 and 100th Avenue W, crossing
those streets, and internally within private properties. Pedestrians would benefit by having wider
sidewalks along SR 104 and 100th Avenue W along with the installation of highly visible crosswalk panels
and/or pavement at the intersection of SR 104/100th Avenue W1.
Two midblock pedestrian crossings of 100th Avenue W are recommended, one connecting the entrances
of the QFC and PCC to the north, and another one located to the south of SR 104. These pedestrian
crossings could also serve as traffic calming and safety devices along 100th Avenue W.
How should property access and internal circulation be considered?
The Westgate area is bisected into four quadrants by SR 104 and 100th Avenue W. Vehicular access is
provided at each quadrant by a variety of driveways, serving a mix of individual and grouped properties.
The northeast quadrant has been recently redeveloped, with upgraded access points along SR 104 and
100th Avenue W. The other quadrants provide a mix of access points, some of which pose safety and
circulation problems.
As shown in Figure 15, the Westgate plan envisions consolidation of driveways within each quadrant
and encouragement of internal circulation between properties. This will reduce in- and -out driving on
the arterials and encourage one-stop parking. The plan also recommends access management
treatments using curbing along SR 104 to the west of 100th Avenue (see Project C-3 in Table 6). This
treatment will improve safety for turning vehicles into and out of the Westgate area and facilitate
driveway consolidation.
The signal at the SR 104/100th Avenue W intersection provides full pedestrian crosswalks and
signalization, although crossing these roadways is not always a pleasant experience. Implementing
wider sidewalks and urban design features at this intersection will encourage more pedestrian
connections among the four Westgate quadrants.
1 The Tovar memorandum provides details regarding the use of urban design treatments to improve the pedestrian
experience in Westgate.

ROADWAY CROSS-SECTION
SR 104 is largely built-out within its 80+- foot right-of-way. However, there are opportunities to make
more efficient use of the available width or to add mobility improvements by acquiring some additional
right-of-way.
Currently, the predominant five-lane cross section consists of four 12 foot travel lanes, a 13 foot left turn
lane and sidewalks that vary in width from 5.5 to 7.5 feet. Some sections have planter strips where new
infill development has occurred.
Two potential cross-sections are depicted in Figure 16. The top diagram shows a ‘full-build’ section that
would be preferred if the roadway were rebuilt. Slightly narrower travel lanes would provide
opportunities for a wider sidewalk and planter strips. As shown, an additional 2 feet of right-of-way may
be required on both sides of the corridor.
The bottom diagram shows what could be accomplished with a roadway overlay project. The curb
locations would not change. The travel lanes would be reduced in width, providing a 1-3 foot buffer
between the outside travel lane and the sidewalk. This buffer would provide some visual separation
between vehicles and pedestrians and offer a slight increase in sight distance.
As new development occurs within the corridor, hybrid cross sections are possible, in which the existing
curbs remain but width is added for planter strips and wider sidewalks. In some cases, this requires
dedication of some right-of-way by the developer.

TO: City of Edmonds
FROM: Joseph W. Tovar, FAICP
DATE: January 28, 2015
SUBJ: Westgate Form Based Code in the SR 104 Corridor
I. Executive Summary
In the fall of 2014, the City Council began its review of the Planning Board recommendation to
adopt a new Chapter 16.110 entitled – Westgate Mixed Use District (WMU). At a series of
study meetings, the Council considered amendments to the WMU, but decided to postpone a
final decision on the proposed code until several questions about the Westgate area could be
answered by the pending SR 104 Complete Streets Corridor Analysis. To assist the Council’s
deliberations, the consulting team was asked to provide analysis on several key questions.
A. Key Questions
1. What are the long-term street lane and width requirements on SR 104 and 100th Avenue West
through Westgate?
2. What should the WMU code say about building setback requirements along these two
roadways?
3. How should bicycles and pedestrians be accommodated?
4. What other amendments to the WMU could be adopted to highlight Westgate as a walkable,
sustainable, mixed use District?
5. How should property access and internal circulation be considered?
6. What is the appropriate parking standard for commercial uses in the Westgate district?
B. Conclusions and Recommendations
1. Both SR 104 and 100th Avenue West have sufficient capacity to serve forecasted increases in
traffic volumes up to 2035. More detailed technical information is in the Fehr and Peers
Tech Memo (Fehr and Peers Memo).
2. Bicycle facilities (e.g., bike racks or lockers) could be accommodated in redevelopment
plans on private property pursuant to proposed amendments to the draft WMU zoning
district. The addition of bike lanes in 100th Ave W. would do the most to enhance Westgate
as a multi-modal transportation district. These could be accommodated within existing
right-of-way by extending the three-lane section with bicycle lanes that now exists on Firdale
Avenue north to Westgate. The reconfiguration of 100th Avenue to accommodate bicycles
can be accomplished with a “road diet” which maintains acceptable levels of traffic flow
Memorandum
Packet Page 176 of 224

through the intersections of SR 104/100th Ave W. and 100th Ave W./SW 238th St.. See Fehr
and Peers Memo.
3. Pedestrians will be accommodated by the 8’ wide sidewalks and adjacent 5’ wide amenity
space in SR 104 and 100th Ave. W. The sidewalk area should be widened at the corners of
the intersection by modifications to the WMU standards to increase building setbacks from
the 12’ default to 15’.
4. Additional pedestrian accommodation in Westgate could be achieved by two capital
improvement projects that should be coordinated with adjacent site plan improvements: (1)
installation of highly visible crosswalk panels or pavement at the intersection of SR 104/100th
Ave. W., similar to the improvements made on SR 99 in Shoreline; and (2) creation of a mid-
block pedestrian crossing in 100th Ave. W. to provide a direct connection between the
entrances of the QFC and PCC.
5. Internal vehicular and pedestrian circulation should meet the materials and dimensional
standards for “Internal Circulation Drives” set forth in the WMU at 22.110.050. It is
recommended that this section be supplemented with a map that indicates where on each
block face the end points of each segment of the Internal Circulation Drive must meet the
public right of way. See Fig. 18.
6. Property vehicular access within Westgate should be controlled with additional WMU zoning
district access management standards. These standards would essentially: (a) “freeze” the
driveway locations on SR 104 east of 100th Ave. W.; (b) eliminate or consolidate the existing
driveways on 100th Ave W. (particularly the QFC and Bartell quadrants) and: (c) eliminate or
consolidate the driveways on SR 104 west of 100th Ave W. Flexibility in the specific
location and dimensions of driveways should be administered through the Code’s review
process of future site plan/building permit applications.
7. The required building setbacks along both SR 104 and 100th Ave. W should be 12’, provided
that within 40’ of the intersection corners the setback should increase to 15’. This additional
setback would help accommodate the greater amount of pedestrian, transit and bicycle traffic
that will concentrate approaching the crosswalks of the intersections. See Fig. 5.
8. The visual images and impressions of the “view from the road” convey a powerful message
about a district’s identity and sense of place. The two major places to shape these
impressions for Westgate are: (a) at the gateways into the district; and (b) at the epicenter of
the district, which in this case is the intersection of SR 104 and 100th Ave W.
(a) The “Edmonds Welcomes you to Westgate” sign that was erected during the City’s
centennial in 1990 was recently removed. It was located not at the entry to the district,
but rather well within it, adjacent to the new Walgreens. A better location for a new
district gateway sign would be further east on SR 104, closer to 95th Ave W. It would
also help to move the 35 mph speed limit sign even further east, in order to help slow
down westbound motorists before they enter the Westgate mixed use district.
(b) The WMU zoning district should amend the corner requirements for the four properties
at the intersection. Strong, structural vertical elements will read best from the
perspective of the motorists and take up relatively little horizontal space between the
Packet Page 177 of 224
3
building and the curb. Trellis, pergola or arbor treatments could incorporate signage,
sculptural motifs, and banners. Such prominent visual landmarks would be a relatively
small cost to projects on these corners, but collectively create a strong visual image for
Westgate. See Figures 11 through 17.
9. Although further work on other parts of the SR 104 corridor will continue into the spring,
the information in this memo and the Fehr and Peers Memo answers the transportation,
parking and land use questions regarding Westgate. No further work on the SR 104
Corridor Study is necessary to support the Westgate conclusions in these two Memos.
II. Background
Edmonds is a city of commercial districts and residential neighborhoods. Some districts are
relatively large, such as Downtown Edmonds and the SR 99 commercial corridor. Others are
smaller, such as Firdale, Five Corners and Westgate. While commercial districts share some
objectives, circumstances and characteristics (e.g., location on arterials and typically a mix of
commercial uses), each is also somewhat unique. Some, such as the Downtown, already have
multifamily residential incorporated into the land use pattern while others, such as the SR 99
corridor and Westgate, may add residential as part of the use mix.
Providing housing choices in commercial districts, in the form of mixed-use buildings and/or
mixed-use projects, responds to an emerging market - Baby Boomers and Millennials. These
two cohorts combined are the majority of today’s U.S. population – and many have strong
interest in housing choices other than the traditional detached single-family home. They would
be attracted to housing opportunities in mixed-use districts with good access to transit, bicycle
and walkway facilities, grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, banks, and other goods and
services nearby. The Westgate District presently has many of these amenities.
As a state highway, SR 104 will continue to play an important role linking the regional transit
system and road network to Downtown Edmonds, the WSF Terminal, and the Amtrak/Sounder
station. The Washington State Department of Transportation recognizes that many segments of
the state highway system serve multiple functions – not just as parts of the regional mobility
system – but also as “Main Streets” for many communities in the urban area.
To evaluate potential code amendments and/or physical projects that would advance the City’s
objectives, it helps to begin with an understanding of Westgate’s fundamental urban design
structure and character. The following urban design terms have been used to describe the
constituent parts of urban structure:
• Districts are geographic sections of the city with some shared and identifying character.
Always identifiable from the inside, districts frequently have distinct boundaries or edges
and are traversed by paths.
• Edges are the linear elements that separate districts, such as a shoreline, railroad tracks,
freeways, or steep slopes.
• Paths are the channels along which an observer moves. They may be streets, walkways, bike
lanes, or transit lines. People observe the city while moving through it, and along these
paths the other environmental elements are perceived, arranged and related.
• Nodes are concentrations of uses or activities, often at the convergence of several paths, and
frequently serving as destinations within a district.
Packet Page 178 of 224
4
• Gateways are the points or places along paths that serve as the entrance to a district.
• Landmarks are another type of point-reference, but an observer does not enter them – they
are external. They are physical objects: a distinctive building, sign, or prominent natural
feature, e.g., a very large tree or hill. While some landmarks have deliberate symbolic
meaning, e.g., a large statue, many landmarks are simply clear and vivid objects in the
environment that provide the viewer with a sense of place and orientation.
Applying this methodology to Westgate (see Figure 1) it is a District, similar to other Edmonds
districts in some ways, but distinct in other ways. Westgate is accessed and traversed by two
major Paths (SR 104/100th Ave. W), and bordered on the north and south by strong topographic
and forested Edges. The Gateways into Westgate are not now marked with public signage, but
generally occur along Paths where there is a distinct shift in land use. This is most clear on
100th Ave W, less so on SR 104. Finally, there are a series of land use/activity Nodes within the
district, usually sharing localized circulation and parking areas. The largest and most prominent
Node in Westgate consists of the four quadrants of the intersection of SR 104 and 100th Ave. W.
Unlike many urban districts and nodes, Westgate lacks prominent and vivid landmarks. The old
“Robin Hood Lanes” sign was a prominent local landmark due to its size, shape and character.
While a lot of commercial signage remains in Westgate, it serves localized functions identifying
individual businesses, rather than an entire district or node. The four star symbols in Fig. 1
indicate a potential rather than an existing set of landmarks. This location, at the convergence of
two major Paths, linking the four quadrants of the area’s major activity Node, is a major urban
design opportunity to provide orientation, identity, and a strong sense of Westgate as a place.

III. Questions and Analysis
1. What are the long-term street lane and width requirements on SR 104 and 100th
Avenue West through Westgate?
The Fehr and Peers Memo evaluates current and forecasted traffic volumes, speeds and
movements on SR 104 and 100th Ave W. It concludes in relevant part:
“WSDOT sees SR 104 as a ‘Main Street Roadway’ that has a multimodal focus. Traffic
forecasts and analysis show no additional through lanes or turning lanes are needed. Traffic
volumes will increase along 100th Avenue W., but the traffic can be accommodated with the
existing lane configuration. No additional right-of-way along 100th Avenue W. is needed to
provide for traffic flow and the wider sidewalk/planter requirements.”
2. How should bicycles and pedestrians be accommodated?
The WMU should be amended to adopt a standard for bicycle racks to be provided in both
residential and commercial new developments at Westgate. The wide sidewalks required as a
standard for both SR 104 and 100th Ave W. will be sufficient to provide for safe and attractive
pedestrian movement along the block faces. An increased setback of 15’ from the property line
near the corners of the intersection will provide additional room for both pedestrian movement
and amenities such as lighting standards, bollards, and street trees.
The consulting team has evaluated the opportunities for adding bicycle lanes to 100th Ave W. It
would be possible to add lanes within the existing rights-of-way by restriping and making minor
improvements (e.g., islands and tapers). See Figs. 2, 3 and 4.

Fig. 4 Schematic of road diet, adding bicycle lanes to 100th Ave W.
3. What should the WMU code say about building setback requirements along these two
roadways?
The draft Code for the Westgate District departs from the conventions of traditional zoning, such
as the default 20’ front yard setback. By reducing the setback to 12 feet adjacent to SR 104 and
100th Ave W., the proposed Code brings the building facade closer to the street. This conveys
that the space between the building frontage and the curb is a place for people on foot or bicycle,
as opposed to automobiles.
The 12-foot setback (in combination with the 8 foot sidewalk in the right of way) provides
sufficient width to accommodate safe and comfortable pedestrian movement along the block
face, as well as room for benches, landscaping, tables, etc. This is illustrated in the two cross
sections in Figure 5.
Packet Page 181 of 224
7
Fig. 5 Illustrative Cross Sections at SR 104/100th Ave W.
Pushing the building face further back, as the 20’ setback would do, doesn’t add much to the
qualitative value of this frontage. Rather, it forces more of the “amenity” and “open space”
away from the site interior, reducing the chance to maximize amenities throughout the site.
Another negative consequence of the 20-foot setback is to lessen redevelopment potential by
reducing the gross floor area achievable. The scale of this impact is difficult to quantify – what
can be said is that it does less to encourage redevelopment than the 12 foot setback.
Packet Page 182 of 224

The portions of sites within 40’ of the intersection have an additional and somewhat different
role than the rest of the frontage. To accommodate the greater amount of pedestrian foot and
bicycle traffic (at the confluence of two crosswalks) as well as the likely entryways into the
buildings, a larger setback, such as 15 feet, would be appropriate.
These observations are summarized for the SW Quadrant in the matrix below.
4. What amendments to the WMU could be adopted to highlight Westgate as a walkable,
sustainable, mixed use District?
Existing conditions at the intersection of SR 104/100th Ave W. are illustrated in Figures 6
through 10. Figure 6 is an aerial perspective, while Figures 7 through 10 are ground level

In September of 2014, City staff drafted for Council’s consideration an additional amendment to
Section 22.110.070 – Amenity Space, Open Space, and Green Factor Standards. The new
paragraph D, titled SR-104/100th Avenue Intersection, focused on the private properties that
immediately abut this intersection and proposed language to address the types of improvements
that would be appropriate.
Using that September draft language as a basis, I recommend the following revisions, shown
with underlining and strikethroughs as follows:
D. SR-104 / 100th Avenue Intersection.
1. The design objectives for configuration of development, amenity space, open space,
and landscaping landscape construction features at this key intersection is intended are to
provide a sense of place and convey the walkable and sustainable character of serve as a
signal of arrival at the Westgate District area.
2. Building step-backs, pedestrian oriented facades and amenities are required for the
portions of buildings within forty feet of the corner at each quadrant of this intersection.
3. The design objectives required setback areas at this intersection shall be designed to
use addressed with a combination of landscaping, building façade treatments, public
signage and amenity features (e.g. water features, art work, bollards, benches, pedestrian
scale lighting, arbors, greenwalls, arcades). to signify the intersection’s importance as a
focal point of the Westgate area.
Paragraph 1 sets forth the City’s design objectives for the Westgate District : (1) to provide a
sense of place and identity for Westgate and (2) to convey the desired walkable and sustainable
character of the District. As the epicenter of Westgate, these four quadrants and the intersection
itself play important functional and symbolic roles. The creation of distinct and memorable
visual landmarks at these four corners can be achieved with landscape construction amenities, as
discussed below. These are improvements that could be placed on the façade of new structures
at the corners of the intersection, or freestanding in the open spaces between the building façade
and the curb.
Paragraph 2 specifies building placement, the details of building facades, and the furnishings to
be placed in the public spaces between the buildings and the curb.
Paragraph 3 identifies a menu of physical improvements and amenities that developers would be
required to design and install. Below are examples of possible building facade treatments and
landscape construction amenities. The specific details of a proposed design would be reviewed
and approved through the City’s Design Review Process. Once a “unifying theme,” for
example, a public sign or solar-powered light standard, is determined with the first development
subject to this standard, it would inform appropriate facade treatments and landscape
construction amenities as redevelopment occurs on the other three corners.
Figures 11 through 16 are examples of potential “landscape construction amenities” that could be
incorporated into the corner designs at this key intersection. It is recommended that these
figures be included in the Westgate Code to give potential developers and their designers a clear
idea of the type of furnishings that the City may require for these key public spaces.

An element like a pergola or arbor can also provide a location to display civic banners, public
signage or lighting standards. If a major district gateway improvement is made, for example, at
the easternmost entry into the Westgate District, it would be logical to coordinate design
materials, fonts or other details with any such landmark improvements made at the intersection
corners. One example might look like this:
Fig. 17 Potential vertical gateway/landmark feature
Many districts, nodes, and centers have utilized landscape construction amenities of this sort to
provide orientation, convey character and provide local identity. See Attachment A for an
example of how a similar treatment was done at the Crossroads District in Bellevue. The
Bellevue example utilized low masonry walls with inset tile work on all four corners, with a
more elaborate arbor and landscaping on the Northeast corner (by the Bank of America).
5. How should property access and internal circulation be handled?
Access management to properties in Westgate will be important for safe and efficient travel
within and between the four quadrants. The number, location and permitted turning movements
into and out of driveways on 100th Ave W. and SR 104 should be controlled by the Westgate
Packet Page 187 of 224
13
Access Management Master Plan (AMMP) See Figure 18. As permits are processed for
properties in the WMU, existing driveways may be required to be relocated, reconfigured or
eliminated to achieve the City’s access management objectives.
Internal circulation within the four quadrants will also be controlled by the AMMP. Internal
circulation drives will be subject to the dimensions and features specified at 22.110.050, and
shall connect with the driveways as identified or modified in the AMMP. The specific
placement of the internal circulation drives will be evaluated and approved as part of the design
review process for permit applications within the WMU zone.

6. What is the appropriate parking standard for commercial uses in the Westgate
district?
As previously noted, Westgate shares some attributes with Downtown Edmonds and the SR 99
corridor, such as access by a state highway, transit availability and a mix of commercial activities. It
is noteworthy that, compared to most other districts in Edmonds, Westgate is a very walkable district.
The national Walk Score methodology measures how many daily errands can be accomplished on
foot, based on the availability and proximity of typical destinations to residences. See Fig. 19.

A major premise of the proposed innovative approach to mixed-use zoning is to tailor regulations to
recognize a district’s unique circumstances, attributes and objectives. In recognition of Westgate’s
high walkability, access to transit, and potential for bicycle access, the Planning Board recommended
that the WMU zone have a blended parking ratio of 1 stall for each 500 sq. ft. of commercial floor
area. In view of Westgate’s existing and emerging multi-modal character, this appears to be a
reasonable parking standard.
It has been suggested that perhaps a ratio of 1 stall per 400 sq. ft. would be appropriate, since that
ratio was considered for Edmonds’ SR 99 corridor. However, as noted in Figure 18, the Westgate
District is a more walkable area than the SR 99 corridor. The land use pattern of the SR 99 corridor
includes very large parcels with great parcel depth back from the state highway. While the SR 99
corridor does have some uses that would be assets for a mixed-use neighborhood, such as grocery
stores and restaurants, they are interspersed with institutional and auto-oriented uses (health care
offices, auto sales and service). The overall large lot pattern means that walking distances are
greater. In contrast, the parcels at Westgate are much smaller and most of the mix of uses (e.g.,
grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants) are within a much more walkable distance.

Given that development and redevelopment at Westgate will occur over a number of years, there is
little risk in adopting the 1 stall per 500 square feet of commercial floor area. If experience
warrants, it would be a relatively simple matter for the City to amend the WMU parking ratio.

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 26, 2015
To: Bertrand Hauss, City of Edmonds
From: Donald Samdahl, Fehr & Peers
Subject: Westgate Area Transportation Analysis
SE14-0360
As part of the SR 104 Complete Streets Corridor Analysis, the consulting team was asked to
focus initial analysis on the Westgate area. A memorandum by Joseph Tovar (1/28/15)
summarizes the team’s review of a variety of transportation, land use and urban design issues.
This memorandum provides additional transportation perspectives on the following questions:
1. What are the long‐term street lane and width requirements on SR 104 and
100th Avenue W through Westgate?
2. How should bicycles and pedestrians be accommodated?
3. How should property access and internal circulation be considered?
This memorandum provides insights into each of these issues to help the city in finalizing its
form‐based code requirements.
What are the long-term street lane and width requirements on SR 104 and 100th Avenue W
through Westgate?
The team evaluated the current and forecasted traffic volumes, speeds and movements on
SR 104 and 100th Avenue W. This analysis took into account traffic forecasts to 2035, including
the effects of WSDOT ferry traffic and the impacts from build‐out of the Point Wells
development.

Page 2 of 7
SR 104
WSDOT considers SR 104 as a ‘Main Street Roadway’ that has a multimodal focus and has no
plans to widen SR 104 through Edmonds. Our traffic forecasts and analysis confirm that no
additional widening/capacity is needed through Westgate.
100th Avenue W
Traffic volumes are anticipated to increase along 100th Avenue W; however, the projected traffic
increase could be accommodated with the existing lane configuration. No additional right‐of‐
way along 100th Avenue W is needed to provide for traffic flow and the wider sidewalk/planter
strip requirements.
Intersection Analysis
The team analyzed future (2035) traffic volumes and traffic operations at the SR 104/100th
Avenue W intersection. If no changes are made to the channelization, the intersection would
operate at Level of Service (LOS) D during the PM peak hour. The team also analyzed a road diet
on 100th Avenue W to allow for bicycle lanes and wider sidewalks through Westgate. The road
diet proposes a 3‐lane cross section plus bicycle lanes, planter strips and sidewalks (see
Figures 1 and 2). On the northbound 100th Avenue W approach to SR 104, the team
recommends the inclusion of a right turn lane to accommodate heavy right turning volumes (see
Figure 3). Adding a northbound right‐turn lane would eliminate the planter strip for the length
of the right turn lane. The resulting LOS would remain at D, although the overall intersection
delay would be slightly worse with the road diet compared to existing conditions. A LOS of D
meets the city’s performance threshold for acceptable intersection operations1. Under both
scenarios, delays could be reduced by allowing permissive + protected left turns on the
100th Avenue W approaches to the intersection.
In summary, both SR 104 and 100th Avenue W would have sufficient capacity to serve forecasted
increases in traffic volumes. The City may choose to re‐stripe either or both roads and re‐phase
the signal at the intersection to meet mobility and safety objectives; however, neither action
depends on the acquisition of additional right‐of‐way.
1 SR 104 is a Highway of Statewide Significance and has a LOS E standard per WSDOT guidelines.

How should bicycles and pedestrians be accommodated?
Bicycles
Bicycle facilities are not envisioned along SR 104, but other parallel and connecting bike routes
are included within the comprehensive transportation plan.
Bicycle lanes on 100th Avenue W are likely to become part of the city’s long‐range plan.
100th Avenue W is an important non‐motorized north/south link between the cities of Shoreline
and Edmonds. As discussed above, the team examined a potential road diet on 100th Avenue W.
This would convert the existing 4‐lanes into a 3‐lane configuration plus bike lanes. This layout is
projected to function acceptably for traffic and provide for a continuous bicycle lane through
the Westgate area.
As indicated in the Tovar memorandum, bicycles could be accommodated on private property
pursuant to proposed amendments to the draft Westgate Mixed Use (WMU) zoning district.
These enhancements would tie in well with the bicycle treatments along 100th Avenue W.
Pedestrians
Pedestrians need to have a safe and pleasant environment along SR 104 and 100th Avenue W,
crossing those streets, and internally within private properties. As summarized by Tovar,
pedestrians would benefit by having wider sidewalks along SR 104 and 100th Avenue W along
with the installation of highly visible crosswalk panels and/or pavement at the intersection of
SR 104/100th Avenue W2. This intersection will provide the primary pedestrian connections
among the Westgate quadrants.
2 The Tovar memorandum provides details regarding the use of urban design treatments to improve the
pedestrian experience in Westgate.

Bertrand Hauss

Page 6 of 7
A possible midblock pedestrian crossing of 100th Avenue W connecting the entrances of the QFC
and PCC was also considered. The midblock crossing appears to be physically and operationally
feasible, but requires additional analysis and coordination with property owners. This crossing
could also serve as a traffic calming and safety device along 100th Avenue W because the nearby
driveways could be reconfigured to provide right‐in/right‐out movements.
How should property access and internal circulation be considered?
The Westgate area is bisected into four quadrants by SR 104 and 100th Avenue W. Vehicular
access is provided at each quadrant by a variety of driveways, serving a mix of individual and
grouped properties. The northeast quadrant has been recently redeveloped, with upgraded
access points along SR 104 and 100th Avenue W. The other quadrants provide a mix of access
points, some of which pose safety and circulation problems.
Tovar’s memorandum encourages consolidation of driveways within each quadrant and provide
maximum internal circulation between properties. This will reduce in and out driving on the
arterials and encourage one‐stop parking. Tovar describes specific access treatments within
each quadrant3. One access treatment to improve safety is the designation of right‐in/right‐out
movements at selected driveways. Tovar’s memorandum identifies some specific locations
where these restrictions may be considered. To address staff and resident concerns about
vehicles ‘darting’ across SR 104 and 100th Avenue W at driveways, a detailed access
management plan for this area could be developed. This plan could serve to enhance aesthetics
through landscaped medians, safety through directing vehicles to turn at predictable and
controlled locations, and accessibility through new and enhanced pedestrian crossing. Vehicular
3 Tovar Memorandum: Property vehicular access within Westgate should be controlled with
additional WMU zoning district access management standards. These standards would essentially:
(a) “freeze” the driveway locations on SR 104 east of 100th Ave. W. ;(b) eliminate or consolidate the
existing driveways on 100th Ave W. (particularly the QFC and Bartell quadrants) and: (c) eliminate or
consolidated the driveways on SR 104 west of 100th Ave W. Flexibility in the specific location and
dimensions of driveways should be administered through the Code’s review process of future site
plan/building permit applications.

connections between quadrants take place through the SR 104/100th Avenue W intersection.
Some midblock vehicle crossings of 100th Avenue W take place, notably between PCC and QFC.
These movements are problematic, especially during peak periods. There are no reasonable
options to provide additional signalized vehicular crossings between quadrants, but there may
be opportunities for midblock pedestrian crossings. As described above, safe and efficient
pedestrian connections between QFC and PCC would reduce the need for people to drive
between the two sites.
The signal at the SR 104/100th Avenue W intersection provides full pedestrian crosswalks and
signalization, although crossing these roadways is not always a pleasant experience.
Implementing wider sidewalks and urban design features at this intersection will encourage
more pedestrian connections among the four Westgate quadrants.

Discussion of Boards and Commissions
Recommendation
Discuss recommendations for boards and commissions, as follows:
1. In general (including the Mayor's recommendation, below)
2. For Diversity Commission
3. For Tree Board
Previous Council Action
City Council identified "boards and commissions" as an area needing discussion during the 2015 Council
retreat.
Councilmembers Joan Bloom, Diane Buckshnis, and Adrienne Fraley Monillas worked with staff to
review information and bring forward recommendations for the full Council to consider.
City Council discussed the initial recommendations on June 2, 2015.
Narrative
BACKGROUND
As part of its retreat in March 2015, the City Council prioritized various topics to follow up on. For each
priority topic, a subgroup consisting of volunteer Council member and City department directors were
to meet and identify what should be brought forward, including any recommendations, for the full
Council’s consideration.
For the topic of “Boards and Commissions,” the subgroup consisted of three Councilmembers (Bloom,
Buckshnis, Fraley-Monillas), and two staff members (Hite and Hope). The subgroup met four times and
worked together to compile and evaluate information, and identify initial recommendations for the full
Council to discussion and possibly take action on June 2. (See Attachment 1.) The initial
recommendations included specific recommendations for a limited amount of organizational assistance
by a consultant for: (a) the Diversity Commission and (b) the Tree Board. (See Attachments 2 and 3,
respectively.)
At the June 2 meeting, the City Council had extensive conversation about the issues and options for
boards and commissions. (See Attachment 4,excerpt from the June 2 meeting minutes.) The Council
determined to take this topic up at another meeting and asked the Mayor to provide some
Packet Page 202 of 224
recommendations as well.
CURRENT INFORMATION
Since then, the chart of existing City of Edmonds boards/commissions/committees (Attachment 5) has
been slightly refined from the previous version. In addition, a new table has been prepared to show the
number and types of codifed boards and commissions that are operating in other nearby cities. The data
shows that Edmonds has more appointed groups identified in code than other cities of our area.
Citizen boards, commissions, and committees can be a good way of getting input on certain subjects. On
the other hand, the operation of such groups comes with a cost. For example, in Edmonds, for the various
boards and commissions to have City email accounts (106 accounts total), the initial software licensing
cost is about $25,000 and then $5800 per year for maintenance (total for the same accounts). In addition,
it’s important for the success of any group to have a clearly established role provided by the City Council
(or whoever the group is advising) so the members can use their time and energy most effectively.
MAYOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS
The Mayor’s recommendations, as requested by the City Council, will be described in more detail at the
July 14 City Council meeting. The summary version is:
1. Consider the full cost of appointed boards, commissions, etc. (staff hours, room expenses,
internet/technology, etc.); recall that staff hours are not "free"; they are simply taken from something else.
2. Make sure that the charter or authority of each codified board/commission is up-to-date and clear for
what is expected. (Roles that are written very broadly may go beyond the scope of the Council’s actual
intent and can lead to unrealistic expectations.)
3. Specifically:
(a) De-formalize or disband the Library Board, since library operations are now under the Library
District. That means City staff would not attend.
(b) Do not have an ongoing transportation or parking committee. Organize ad hoc committees when
necessary, for example, when a new transportation plan is being developed or a special issue needs
research/input.
(c) Recognize that the Highway 99 Task Force, which has been meeting for more than 10 years, is not
necessary at this point. However, broad input will be sought from Highway 99 area residents and
businesses with the upcoming Highway 99 subarea plan.
(d) Provide several thousand dollars for the remainder of this year for the Diversity Commission and Tree
Board to each have consultant help for specific purposes, with some oversight of the consultants from
City staff (namely Patrick Doherty for Diversity and, for the Tree Board, oversight from the Parks
Director, Development Services Director, or Public Works Director—depending on whether the Tree
Board’s work over the next year or so will be focused on city parks, city right of way, private property, or
some combination.
(e) Continue other boards and commission in existence now but recognize that if more is expected of
them, additional staffing will be needed too.
(f) Whenever possible, use facilities that are open after regular business hours (including the Frances
Anderson Center) for board/commission meetings held outside of regular business hours (so that the
public can enter without the cost of a special door monitor).

Boards and Commissions
Council Task Force Recommendations
Task Force included: Diane Buckshnis, Joan Bloom, Adrienne Fraley Monillas, Shane Hope, Carrie Hite.
The task force defined four areas in which to discuss and bring forth recommendations.
1. Staffing of Boards and Commissions
The task force compiled a chart listing all the boards and commissions/other committees, staff
responsible, hours of time dedicated to each, and any pertinent notes. As is evident in the
chart, the level of staffing, the amount of hours for each board or commission, and the time
allocated varies. The constant was that all boards and commissions have some staff dedicated
to their efforts. The exceptions to this are the Tree Board (which has some administrative
assistance and other staff support, but no direct lead or staff liaison) and the newly adopted
Diversity Commission (which has no dedicated administrative assistance or staff lead).
It should be noted, that the task force also discussed the cost of staffing for the boards and
commissions. This also varies, but if one were to multiply the hours times an average of $50 per
hour (including benefits), you can see a column to right of the hours to determine the average
cost.
Although most of the hours dedicated to Boards and Commission are performed by exempt staff
( i.e. no overtime is incurred), there is an indirect cost of the tasks and/or priorities that do not
get completed because of the amount of time spent on Boards and Commissions.
Question to the full Council:
Do the staff hours seem to be appropriate to each Board and/or Commission?
Is there any concern about the amount of hours dedicated to each?
Will the Council consider adding some staff support for the Tree Board? (Scope of work
attached).
Will the Council consider adding some staff support for the Diversity Commission? (Scope of
work attached).
2. Efficiencies
The task force discussed the possibility of combining boards and/or commission, determining if
any efficiency could be gained.
In the attached chart, you will also see the level of priority identified, based on whether the
group is required by City code, State code, and/or as a priority of the City. The task force is
recommending the following:
a. Council review the Citizens Economic Development Commission (already identified as a
separate process from this one).
Packet Page 205 of 224
b. The Highway 99 task force is to be combined with the Citizens Economic Development
Commission (“EDC”).
c. Two Council members of the task force are recommending that the Parking Committee be
combined with the Transportation Committee and reconstituted on an ongoing, rather than
ad hoc basis. This would require additional resources and a clear understanding of the
committee’s role.
Aside from these above recommendations, the task force did not have any other strong
recommendations to combine efforts, or create additional efficiencies.
3. Financial Considerations:
The task force discussed the financial impact of the boards and commissions. The task force has
several recommendations to mitigate the cost of operating boards and commissions, as follows:
a. Door Monitor/Locations: Research feasibility of moving EDC, Tree Board. Historic
Preservation Commission and Sister City Commission to different locations so as not to
incur expenses for a monitor, and ensure the City is meeting the Open Public Meetings
Act (OPMA).
b. Notes vs. Minutes: Charge each board/commission with producing summary
notes/minutes, but limit the boards/commission that the City would take verbatim minutes
to: Architectural Design Board, EDC, Tree Board, and Planning Board. This will reduce the
cost of hiring minute takers.
c. Staff Paid Overtime: Most staff that support Boards and Commissions are exempt, and do
not incur overtime. Some would incur comp time that they could take at a later date. The
other cost is that the time staff spends on support of boards/commissions detracts from
other work they could be performing.
d. Staffing Costs: For the Tree Board and Diversity Commission, the task force is
recommending that Council provide support costs for consultant help, per the two
attached scopes of work, to coordinate these entities.
4. Administrative:
The task force discussed issues having to do with the OPMA, who notices meetings, how
minutes/agendas are made available to the public, if there is or is not Council representation on
each Board/Commission, if there is or is not student representation. The task force also
discussed who appoints and/or confirms and what the role is of each Board/Commission. This
varies with each commission. The task force would like the full Council to discuss this, and
identify any concerns and/or questions they may have about the appointment process or
Council representation on each commission.

Franchise Fees 286,075 347,941 21.6%
Development Related Permits 77,649 140,974 81.6%
Total Licenses & Permits 485,741 603,006 24.1%
Mr. James said General Fund taxes are 5.9% greater than last year due to earlier payers in 2015 as a result
of the improved economy and 1% increase in the EMS and regular property tax levy. Sales tax continues
to grow. Utility taxes are down slightly primarily due to a timing issue which will be made up next
month. He referred to development related permits, up 81.6% ahead of last year.
He displayed a bar graph entitled Change in General Fund Revenue for YTD March Compared to YTD
March 2014, pointing out sales tax and property taxes have had the greatest increase and utility taxes are
slightly behind 2014. He referred to Interfund Reimbursement, where the General Fund charges other
funds for services; it is behind due to a timing issue; in fact the budget amount is higher in 2015.
He reviewed a pie chart of Sales Tax Analysis by Category, pointing out the major sources of sales tax
revenue is retail automotive and contractors. He displayed a bar graph of Change in Sales Tax Revenue
March 2015 compared to March 2014; pointing out sales tax is $127,000 ahead and contractors are
$114,000 ahead. He pointed out retail automotive is down $43,000 compared to 2014. Councilmember
Mesaros found it interesting retail automotive was down as he heard a report this morning that the auto
industry is having a record year. Mr. James said it may be a timing issue and Edmonds will join the rest of
the nation shortly.
Mr. James displayed and reviewed 1st Quarter 2015 Expense Summary – General Funds, noting expenses
are lower than 2014 primarily due to timing. For example, last year the City paid the Fire District 1 bill in
the first quarter; this year it will be paid in April. He reviewed a General Fund Department Expense
Summary, commenting there was nothing of note. He reviewed 1st Quarter 2015 Revenue Summary –
Special Revenues, noting the differences are primarily due to lower grant revenues, otherwise revenues
are on par with 2014. He reviewed 1st Quarter 2015 Expense Summary – Special Revenue Funds, noting
it is nearly identical to last year but $12,000 less.
He displayed a graph of Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax revenues, noting 1st quarter revenues for 2010-2015 are
fairly flat. He displayed a graph of the Hotel/Motel Lodging Tax Revenues 2010-2015, noting 1st quarter
lodging tax for 2015 has increased slightly over 2014. He displayed a graph of REET Revenues 1st quarter
2010-2015, noting there is an upward trend. He displayed and reviewed a 1st Quarter 205 Revenue
Summary – Utility Revenue Funds, commenting revenues are up; the City is in year 2 of a 3 year rate
increase. He also displayed the 1st Quarter 2015 Expense Summary – Utility Funds.
14. DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
Parks & Recreation/Human Resources Reporting Director Carrie Hite explained this was a topic
identified at the Council retreat for review by a team of staff and Councilmembers. Council President
Fraley-Monillas and Councilmembers Bloom and Buckshnis met with Ms. Hope and her for four lively
discussions to develop the materials for tonight’s discussion. Part of this committee’s charge was to look
at all boards and commissions and to discuss and policy level issues as well as whether the boards and
commission made sense for the City, whether some efficiencies could be realized, etc.
She reviewed the committee’s discussion and recommendations.
1. Staffing: The committee prepared a chart that included the location; staffing; staff person;
monthly average staff time; average monthly cost; notes that identified any anomalies; whether
there is a Council rep; whether the board/commission is required by City code, State Code and its
priority; what kind of records are kept; and potential efficiencies. She explained the chart
ATTACHMENT 4
Packet Page 209 of 224
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 2, 2015
Page 11
identifies the boards/commissions that are codified. Several are not but have been in existence for
a long time such as the Highway 99 Task Force, the Mayor’s Climate Protection Committee, the
Parking Committee, and the Transportation Committee. She pointed out not everyone agrees;
therefore it is important for the full Council to have that discussion.
The committee members discussed the time allotted for each board/commission and whether that
was still adequate, which boards/commission had dedicated staff and which did not. Most
boards/commissions have dedicated staff that attend meetings as well as administrative staff that
posts notices, minutes, etc. The committee wanted the Council to discuss whether the staff hours
for each board/commission were appropriate and whether the Council will consider adding staff
support for the Tree Board and the Diversity Commission (scopes of work are attached to the
packet).
2. Efficiencies: The committee discussed whether any of the boards/commissions could be
combined and/or whether all of them were needed. Review of the Economic Development
Commission (EDC) is on a separate track and was not addressed by this committee. The
committee discussed whether the Hwy 99 Taskforce could be combined with the EDC and
whether the Transportation Committee and the Parking Committee could be combined. There
were differences of opinion from all three Councilmembers.
3. Financial considerations: These include both the direct staff cost as well as the indirect cost of
work staff cannot do while staffing a board/commission. Efficiencies were discussed such as
changing the meeting location from City Hall to avoid the cost of a door monitor, whether the
boards/commissions need a minute taker or could summary notes be taken and which
board/commissions actually required minutes. To the question of whether staff is paid overtime to
staff boards/commissions, Ms. Hite said most of the staff that support boards/commissions are
manager level and up and do not incur overtime. There are instances when overtime is incurred
such as when the arborist attended the Tree Board meeting. Councilmembers on the committee
wanted the full Council to discuss financial considerations.
4. Administrative: The committee discussed issues related to the Open Public Meetings Act, which
boards/commissions/committees post notices and agendas, whether there is a Council rep, etc.
The committee recommended discussion by full Council.
Council President Fraley-Monillas suggested Councilmembers review the information and make
suggestions. One of the areas she was concerned with was summary notes versus minutes. When she
began on the City Council, there were summary notes by staff with topics and action items. The Finance
Committee brought in a paid minute taker and it has gone from there. The committee discussed
boards/commissions that are required to have minutes: City Council, Architectural Design Board and
Planning Board. In the overall budget the cost of minutes may not seem excessive, but she is more frugal
than most and thinks the City may be able to do business better in different ways.
Council President Fraley-Monillas recalled another area of discussion was combining committees, for
example the Parking and Transportation Committees. Transportation is not a permanent committee but
maybe it should be due to issues such as overlays, traffic calming devices, etc. Another issue was whether
parking is part of transportation. The Hwy 99 Task Force has been in place for 12 years; she was
uncertain the difference between a task force and a committee. The committee was interested in ways that
business could be done different or better. She noted transparency is also an issue; any meeting held in a
locked building after business hours prevents citizens and/or committee members from attending.

Ms. Hite pointed out Councilmembers on the committee did not agree on all items. Mayor Earling relayed
his understanding that Council President Fraley-Monillas was seeking big picture, general feedback
tonight and to provide the Council an opportunity for continued study of options.
Councilmember Mesaros asked whether the committee looked at the structure. He assumed the employees
who staff boards/commissions report to the executive branch. Ms. Hite answered yes except for the Tree
Board. Councilmember Mesaros asked whether the committee considered why that is an exception. Ms.
Hite answered that is the reason for the recommendation to provide staff support to the Tree Board. When
the Council formed the Tree Board, there was no staff capacity to staff the Tree Board; the Council
Executive Assistant provides administrative support. There is also no staff capacity to provide support for
the Diversity Commission.
Councilmember Mesaros suggested the committee consider whether everyone should continue to report to
the executive branch and if not, why not. Council President Fraley-Monillas explained 3-4 staff attend
some committee meetings and some have one staff person attend their meetings but not necessarily the
same one at every meeting. The committee did not reach any resolution other than spreading staff out
better so staff was not overburdened. Ms. Hite recalled the committee had several discussions regarding
the role of boards and commissions which leads into the structure. Most boards/commissions are advisory
to the City Council and the Council does not have staff so the Mayor provides support to assist them and
help frame recommendations/advice to the City Council.
Councilmember Mesaros relayed he was looking at this from a philosophical, not a technical standpoint.
His understanding was the intent was to have support from the executive branch and to provide as much
information as possible to the legislative branch as it works through the boards/commissions. Once the
Council makes a decision, it is up to the executive branch to carry it out. He suggested if the Council
wants the boards/commissions to have staffing, it needs to provide adequate budget to the executive
branch to provide that staffing. Ms. Hite agreed, noting that was the intent of the scopes of work for the
Tree Board and Diversity Commission.
Councilmember Nelson asked the cost savings of notes versus minutes, recognizing there may be ways to
save money to provide staffing for the Diversity Commission. Ms. Hite said the cost of minutes according
to Councilmember Buckshnis is approximately $100/month or $1200/year per board/commission. Mayor
Earling said it is not just the $100/month, it is also a staff member not doing something else. For example,
two staff members served on this committee while they could have been doing something else.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said the committee discussed reporting and if Council wanted to hire
staff to support all boards and commissions, cuts could be made elsewhere to hire staff. The flip side to
hiring staff is the disconnect when the person hired to assist the board/commission is not a direct report to
the Mayor. Ms. Hite said in her experience, boards/commissions in most cities are staffed by the
executive branch; they do research and provide information to assist the Council in making informed
decisions at the policy level.
Councilmember Nelson referred to the Hwy 99 Task Force that has existed for 12 years and asked how
boards or committees died. Ms. Hite answered in her experience when they were done with their work,
they disbanded. For a lot of working committees, once they are finished their work, the committee is
done. Ms. Hope said some things are codified and the only way to change that is via an ordinance. There
are other task forces or committees that are the result of some past action and the administration or
Council could decide to dissolve it depending on the nature of the committee.
Councilmember Petso recalled in one case, all members of the committee resigned and another way is to
allow a commission to sunset. She asked whether the materials contained the cost of minutes or monitors.
Packet Page 211 of 224
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 2, 2015
Page 13
Ms. Hite said she will provide that information. Councilmember Petso asked staff to provide any other
costs such as public noticing, etc., whatever constitutes the true cost of the meetings. She asked whether
meeting sites had been determined to avoid paying a monitor. Ms. Hite answered that had not been done;
the committee wanted the full Council to weigh in on that concept. She recommended asking staff who
attend the board/commission to identify an alternate location. There have been discussions about using
the police training room or a room at the Frances Anderson Center although the Frances Anderson Center
closes at 8:30/9:00 so meetings would need to be concluded by then to avoid incurring extra staffing
costs. The meetings that require a door monitor include the EDC, Tree Board, Historical Preservation
Commission and Sister City Commission.
Council President Fraley-Monillas said the committee compared Edmonds to other cities; most do not
have as many boards/commissions. To Councilmember Petso’s comment about total cost, Ms. Hite
relayed Mr. James’ comment that because boards/commissions are required to be on the City’s email
system, the City has licensed many more emails at a cost of $26,000/year.
Councilmember Johnson said in general she preferred summary notes for boards/commissions with the
exception of the ADB, Planning Board and City Council. She commented approximately 1/3 of the
minutes could be condensed as the minutes tend to be as elaborate as possible including almost verbatim
discussion. She recalled City Clerk Scott Passey brought that to the Council’s attention a few years ago.
In general she preferred staff support versus outside contractors for organizing boards/commissions. She
preferred making adjustments in the work program or priorities rather than hiring an outside person due to
institutional knowledge and connection. She recalled the entire Transportation Committee resigned and
was recently reconstituted for the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The Transportation
Committee worked well together and wants to continue meeting quarterly.
Councilmember Petso suggested the Council Assistant double check the list of committees to ensure it
includes all the boards, commissions and committees.
Ms. Hite relayed there are two proposals for Council consideration tonight or at a future meeting. The
Diversity Commission was codified but has no support. She has received many emails asking when the
commission will be started. She has no answer other than it is in limbo until staff support is identified.
Council President Fraley-Monillas asked how the Council could assist in getting the Diversity
Commission underway. Mayor Earling said the packet includes a cost estimate. Ms. Hite said the current
proposal is to hire a consultant; neither she nor the Mayor was able to identify staff that has the capacity
to staff up the Diversity Commission. Council President Fraley-Monillas suggested temporarily
compensating an employee. Ms. Hite answered full-time employees could have special duty pay but she
was not sure that would be an incentive for someone to work more nights, more hours and more stress.
She reiterated the Council took action to create the Diversity Commission and citizens are waiting for it to
be implemented.
Councilmember Mesaros recommended the executive look at staffing across the entire City and make a
determination who would be best to staff the commission and bring the Council a recommendation. If it
includes a budget cost, the Council can consider that and vote accordingly. Mayor Earling said he could
look but the prospects are not good. Ms. Hite recalled Councilmember Bloom spoke out during the
committee about the need for staff support for the Tree Board as well. Councilmember Mesaros requested
the executive’s recommendation also include the Tree Board.
Council President Fraley-Monillas commented the Tree Board has been staffed 80% of the time. Ms.
Hope said staff from the Council office notices meetings, posts the agenda, and does general
administrative actions. At least two people from Development Services have attended meetings to present
specific issues or assist with preparing materials. They both have full-time work and are not able to
Packet Page 212 of 224
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
June 2, 2015
Page 14
provide all the staffing the Tree Board would like. Parks & Recreation have also occasionally staffed the
Tree Board on occasion. Council President Fraley-Monillas recalled Councilmember Bloom's interest in
the Tree Board having consistent staff. Mayor Earling recalled the request in that case is to have specific
minutes taken and reported out. If the Diversity Commission is to staff up with notices, public disclosure
requests, etc., that is a hidden but real cost. He was glad to follow Councilmember Mesaros’ suggestion
but a cursory look has already been done and it will be difficult because the City is thinly staffed
compared to other cities Edmonds’ size.
Councilmember Mesaros agreed there was not an easy answer. If the Council wants multiple boards and
commissions, resources need to be provided so they are staffed properly. He asked Mayor Earling to
recommend what that looks like.
Councilmember Nelson observed a consultant for the Diversity Commission was $4,500 for July 1 – Dec
31. Ms. Hite agreed, pointing out that is contract staff, not a current City employee. That model has been
used in the City including the PIO, media relations person, etc.
At Council President Fraley-Monillas’ inquiry, Councilmembers agreed they wanted to review the
information provided and return at a study session with information provided by Mayor Earling regarding
staffing, costs, etc.
15. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling reported he attended Lynnwood’s State of City speech by Mayor Smith. He was excited to
have an active government in Lynnwood eager to work with the other cities in South Snohomish County.
With regard to the legislature, all the projects Edmonds is interested in are still included but he was
uncertain how long they will be included if the legislature does not develop a budget. He congratulated
the Rotary who sponsored the Waterfront Festival this past weekend; it looked like a magnificent success.
16. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Nelson congratulated Student Representative Eslami.
Councilmember Petso also congratulated Student Representative Eslami and wished him good luck.
Councilmember Mesaros commented Student Representative Eslami has more experience on Council
than Councilmember Nelson. Councilmember Mesaros reported the SnoCom and SnoPac joint meeting
included an update on the New World project and a further postponement of the new software that will
enhance 911 capabilities. The pretest to determine whether the system could go live on June 9 failed. The
original checklist with 44 concerns has been reduced to 3-4; he and others are hopeful by
September/October the four items will be addressed and the next test simulating a catastrophic event in
Snohomish County will be successful.
Councilmember Mesaros reported the Edmonds-Woodway Jazz Band will be performing at Jazz Alley on
June 8th.
Councilmember Johnson congratulated Student Representative Eslami who will be attending the
University of Washington studying chemical engineering.
Councilmember Johnson announced an open house at City Hall on the Comprehensive Plan on June 10
from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. followed by a 7:00 p.m. public hearing. She reported on the Waterfront Festival,
having spent most of Friday, Saturday and Sunday in response to the Rotary’s request that each member
commit to four 4-hour shifts. She thanked the Port of Edmonds, the Edmonds Yacht Club, the Boy Scouts

Information
Subject Title
Continued discussion regarding potential purchase of the Edmonds Conference Center
Recommendation
N/A
Previous Council Action
On 6/9/15 the City Council voted to submit an offer to purchase the Edmonds Conference Center for the
sum of $300,000, subject to a deed restriction requiring public use of the property for a period of no less
than 30 years.
Narrative
At its 7/7/15 meeting the City Council discussed the City’s offer to purchase the Edmonds Conference
Center and the current state of affairs related to that sale process. Based on information garnered in a
discussion between City Attorney Jeff Taraday, Economic Development & Community Services Director
Patrick Doherty and the State Department of Enterprise Services staff person and State Assistant Attorney
General , there were three other offers for the property, all in excess of the City’s offer of $300,000. The
other offers consist of a top offer of $2,405,000, with an escalator clause to $2,800,000, followed by an
offer for $1,200,000, followed by a third offer of $1,000,000.
In the continuing spirit of providing another government agency an opportunity to purchase the property,
the State officials indicated they would allow until Wednesday 7/15/15 for the City to provide any
additional response or amended offer.
At the conclusion of the discussion at the 7/7/15 meeting Councilmembers wished to place this issue on
the 7/14/15 meeting agenda for continued discussion.
