While the City is currently responding to a deficit caused by numerous factors, I encourage council members to take additional time before setting a fiscal reserve target. (I understand the current proposal is to establish a 20% reserve target, which I believe to be excessive, based on over 30 years of personal experience in managing public finances audited to similar standards). A fiscal reserve serves primarily to protect the City from unforeseen risk; foreseeable risk should be addressed through the operating budget that is presented to and adopted by Council. As a long-time taxpayer in Edmonds, I would not support cutting essential services or paying higher taxes in order to build an excessive reserve, at least not without having a clear understanding of the risk analysis that supports the proposed target. Thank you for your consideration of my concerns. 7.1.a Packet Pg. 17 At t a c h m e n t : P u b l i c C o m m e n t A u g u s t 1 3 , 2 0 2 4 ( W r i t t e n P u b l i c C o m m e n t s ) City Council Agenda Item Meeting Date: 08/13/2024 Approval of Council Special Meeting Minutes August 5, 2024 Staff Lead: Council Department: City Clerk's Office Preparer: Scott Passey Background/History N/A Recommendation Approval of Council Meeting minutes as part of the Consent Agenda.

The mission of this committee is to conduct an annual review of the city attorney’s and the city prosecutor’s performance and, periodically, to make recommendations regarding any proposed changes “to the continue with the present professional services contracts, publicize a request for proposal process, or seek to transition towards making either the city attorney or city prosecutor positions as employees of the city administration.” On July 2, 2024, Council authorized the Legal Assessment Committee’s 2024 draft workplan via a vote of the full council. This workplan authorized members of the Committee to perform interviews of certain stakeholders in the City administration, Edmonds Municipal Court, and the Edmonds Police Department to assess the performance of the city prosecutor. On July 9, 2024, Council approved of the Committee’s proposed questions to gather information in this approved format. During the month of July, the Legal Assessment Committee performed interviews with identified stakeholders and presented its findings in the attached evaluation memo. As a result of the feedback received, the Legal Assessment Committee recommended that the City issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the city prosecutor role. On August 6, 2024 Council approved the committee's recommendation and authorized the administration to issue an RFP for the Edmonds City Prosecutor role. Recommendation Approve Councilmember Nand and Councilmember Dotsch to participate in the RFP issuance and review process. Narrative Mayor Rosen has formed a team of City stakeholders including a prosecutorial advisor for the RFP issuance and review. The members of the Legal Assessment Committee could represent the council in this effort as a continuation of the work they have already done. Such participation is not an enumerated job duty in the code about this committee, so council approval of their participation in this endeavor is being sought. 8.4 Packet Pg. 31 City Council Agenda Item Meeting Date: 08/13/2024 Proposed listing of 428 - 3rd Ave N on the Edmonds' Register of Historic Places Staff Lead: Amber Brokenshire Department: Planning & Development Preparer: Amber Brokenshire Background/History The Historic Preservation Commission held public hearing on April 11, 2024 and forwarded a recommendation to the City Council to list the house at 428 3rd Avenue North on the Edmonds' Register of Historic Places. The proposed listing was presented to the Public Safety, Planning, Human Services, and Personnel Committee Meeting on June 18, 2024. The committee recommended placing the proposed listing on City Council Consent Agenda. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that Council accept the Historic Preservation Commission's recommendation to place 428 3rd Avenue North on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. The ordinance is attached. Narrative The house located at 428 3rd Avenue North was constructed in 1901 and is significant for its intact representation of residential construction from the early 20th Century. The house shows an early residential style typical for the area, illustrating local craftsman building techniques and materials.

She discussed effects of listing on the Register, designation criteria, historical integrity, designation categories, and historic association (style of Merritt Homes/Dutch Colonial). Staff recommended approval of the home for the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. There was some debate about the dormer change but general support for the home’s inclusion on the Register. Brad Holden spoke in support of the application. 428 3rd Avenue North was unanimously recommended for approval to the Register of Historic Sites. NEW BUSINESS 1. HPC Chair and Vice Chair Nominations There was agreement to make future nominations for Chair and Vice Chair in January. The Commission unanimously approved Chair Vogel and Vice Chair Spencer continuing in their roles. 2. HPC Member Update New members were introduced above under Roll Call. UNFINISHED BUSINESS/ACTION ITEMS  Commissioner Raetzloff indicated he would be interested in resigning when his term was up but was unclear when that was. Ms. Brokenshire explained that the Council reduced the number of commissioners to seven so when a member’s time is up, and they would like to resign, the Commission would just go to seven members.  There was some discussion about the HPC handbook and protocol for emailing without creating a public meeting.  Commissioner Deiner-Karr gave an update about information she had provided on the FTP site.  The group discussed proceeding with work on the calendar as if there is a budget for it with hopes that they will receive the State Historic Preservation Grant to be used for calendars and plaques. There was some discussion about sponsorships for the calendar in the event that the grant money doesn’t come through. There was agreement to proceed as if they will have the money, but if needed they could hold onto the calendar for publication in 2026.  Plaques are ready for presentation but waiting for an official ceremony. There are enough plaques for all the houses that are currently on the Register without plaques right now and still some left over for new houses. Ms. Brokenshire will send out the list of houses that don’t have plaques again. Chair Vogel will head up planning for the press release and the plaque ceremony.  Ms. Brokenshire will be gone in May, so it is likely that the May meeting will be cancelled.

Ms. Brokenshire reviewed that process.  Councilmember Dotsch welcomed the new members.  Commissioner Trost was happy to be part of the Commission and is looking forward to working with the group.  Commissioner Brown was also happy to be part of the Commission and brought up a building where the owner has concerns about being on the Register.

Historic Designation Staff Report Page 6 of 6 Notes on historic register nominations: Chapter 20.45.020 ECDC (Edmonds Community Development Code) states that if the Commission finds that the nominated property is eligible for placement on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places, the Commission shall make a recommendation to the City Council that the property be listed on the register with owner’s consent. According to Chapter 20.45.040 ECDC, listing on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places is an honorary designation denoting significant association with the historic, archaeological, engineering or cultural heritage of the community. Properties are listed individually or as contributing properties to a historic district. No property may be listed without the owner’s permission. Prior to the commencement of any work on a register property, excluding ordinary repair and maintenance and emergency measures defined in Section 20.45.000(H), the owner must request and receive a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Commission for the proposed work. Violation of this rule shall be grounds for the Commission to review the property for removal from the register. Prior to whole or partial demolition of a register property, the owner must request and receive a waiver of a Certificate of Appropriateness. Because Edmonds is a Certified Local Government (CLG), all properties listed on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places may be eligible for a special tax valuation on their rehabilitation. 8.5.b Packet Pg. 41 At t a c h m e n t : 2 .

This upload reduces data entry burden on community volunteers and historical societies participating in the survey and inventory of their communities. The intent of this project is directed specifically to facilitating community and public involvement in stewardship, increasing data accuracy, and providing a versatile planning tool to Certified Local Governments (CLGs). Currently survey and inventory projects at the local level produce a field form for each property surveyed and include digital photographs. Volunteers doing the survey track down and manually enter all the owner, parcel, and legal data manually. Manual data entry diminishes accuracy and quantity of resources volunteers can survey. Recognizing this, DAHP uploaded building data for each Certified Local Government (CLG) on properties that were built in or before 1969 to provide an accurate and comprehensive baseline dataset. Volunteers doing survey work need only to verify data, add in photographs and extent of alterations and architectural style data, as well as expand upon the physical description and significance statement as new data is collected. For planning purposes, the attrition rate of properties built in or before 1969 can start to be measured to guide stewardship priorities. Project methodology entailed use of the University of Washington͛s State Parcel Database (http://depts.washington.edu/wagis/projects/parcels/development.php) to provide the base parcel layer for CLGs. Filtering of building data collected from each county trimmed out all properties built after 1969, as well as all current, previously inventoried properties. Translation of building data descriptors to match fields in HPI allowed the data upload. Calculation of point locations utilized the center of each parcel. Data on this detail provides a snapshot of building information as of 2011. A detailed project methodology description resides with DAHP. Project team members: Historic Preservation Northwest, GeoEngineers, and Artifacts Consulting, Inc. (project lead). Physical description:The house at 428 3rd Avenue N, Edmonds, is located in Snohomish County. According to the county assessor, the structure was built in 1926 and is a single family dwelling. The 1.5-story building has a gable roof clad in asphalt composition shingles. The walls of the single-family form are clad principally in wood over a platform frame structure. The county assessor also reports that there is 1 outbuilding on the property.

Were it to be lost, the home’s National Register design integrity would be severely compromised. Here, the setting (tombstones, paths, fences and trees) reinforces an observer’s sense that Grace Episcopal Church in St. Francis- ville is indeed historic.

This upload reduces data entry burden on community volunteers and historical societies participating in the survey and inventory of their communities. The intent of this project is directed specifically to facilitating community and public involvement in stewardship, increasing data accuracy, and providing a versatile planning tool to Certified Local Governments (CLGs). Currently survey and inventory projects at the local level produce a field form for each property surveyed and include digital photographs. Volunteers doing the survey track down and manually enter all the owner, parcel, and legal data manually. Manual data entry diminishes accuracy and quantity of resources volunteers can survey. Recognizing this, DAHP uploaded building data for each Certified Local Government (CLG) on properties that were built in or before 1969 to provide an accurate and comprehensive baseline dataset. Volunteers doing survey work need only to verify data, add in photographs and extent of alterations and architectural style data, as well as expand upon the physical description and significance statement as new data is collected. For planning purposes, the attrition rate of properties built in or before 1969 can start to be measured to guide stewardship priorities. Project methodology entailed use of the University of Washington͛s State Parcel Database (http://depts.washington.edu/wagis/projects/parcels/development.php) to provide the base parcel layer for CLGs. Filtering of building data collected from each county trimmed out all properties built after 1969, as well as all current, previously inventoried properties. Translation of building data descriptors to match fields in HPI allowed the data upload. Calculation of point locations utilized the center of each parcel. Data on this detail provides a snapshot of building information as of 2011. A detailed project methodology description resides with DAHP. Project team members: Historic Preservation Northwest, GeoEngineers, and Artifacts Consulting, Inc. (project lead). Physical description:The house at 428 3rd Avenue N, Edmonds, is located in Snohomish County. According to the county assessor, the structure was built in 1926 and is a single family dwelling. The 1.5-story building has a gable roof clad in asphalt composition shingles. The walls of the single-family form are clad principally in wood over a platform frame structure. The county assessor also reports that there is 1 outbuilding on the property.

COMMITTEE BUSINESS 1. Committee Updates a. Emergency Response - EOC - Police/ Chief Bennett No staff was available to provide an update. b. Comprehensive Plan - Planning/ Director McLaughlin Ms. McLaughlin advised of plans to publish a newsletter/briefing memo under council agenda item Received for Filing. She anticipated an initial staff review of the EIS prepared by Herrera in late June and release to the public the third week of July following staff revisions. She reported on work being done on a waterfront vision, refining the content goals and policies for each element, public meetings held in late May to review key goals and policies, plans to present the updated elements to the planning board in June and July, involvement of Community Champions who represent under-represented communities within the City, collaboration on the Transportation element to identifying project lists for the comprehensive plan and the CIP, and June 27 webinar on HB 1110 regarding middle housing. In response to emailed questions, Ms. McLaughlin advised the comprehensive plan update is on schedule and on budget. Consultant costs have been reduced with the receipt of a $62,000 Department of Commerce grant. The consultant contract is being amended to refine their work and recognize repeal of Ordinance 4079 regarding the planned action EIS. With regard to facilitating a successful public process, she assured Edmonds goes well beyond community engagement requirements which requires incredible staff resources. The interested party email list has 900+ people. Jeff Levy, the term limited employee who has been assisting with the comprehensive plan, has accepted a full-time position elsewhere. Questions and discussion followed regarding ways to get the word out, support for a newsletter on Received for Filing, the comprehensive plan email list, information available on Everyone’s Edmonds webpage, the DEIA Commission’s appreciation for outreach, including a timeline of outreach on the Everyone’s Edmonds webpage, incorporating the Climate Action Plan into the Sustainability and Environment Element. 8.5.f Packet Pg. 77 At t a c h m e n t : 6 . 2 0 2 4 - 0 6 - 1 8 C i t y C o u n c i l C o m m i t t e e - M i n u t e s ( P r o p o s e d l i s t i n g o f 4 2 8 - 3 r d A v e n u e N o n t h e E d m o n d s ' R e g i s t e r o f H i s t o r i c 06/18/24 PSPHSP Committee Minutes, Page 2 2.

Municipal Employees Benefit Trust (MEBT) Updates Ms. Wagener provided an introduction, explaining employees and councilmembers contribute to MEBT in lieu of social security. Mr. Curran, MEBT committee member for 9 years and Edmonds’ MEBT president since 2019, reviewed the history of MEBT; started in October 1972 by the City of Bellevue to manage assets of employees in the retirement system in lieu of social security, partners municipalities include Bellevue, Edmonds, Federal Way, Kirkland, Mill Creek, Redmond, and Woodinville and Norcom. MEBT has 5,800 members and approximately $1 billion in assets. The portfolio is managed by UBS Institutional Consulting Group Northwest. In addition to MEBT, employees also have Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). Employees and the City contribute to MEBT what would have paid to Social Security. MEBT is a 401A plan, mandatory participation by all employees. Employees are also offered an optional 457 deferred compensation plan. The City’s MEBT plan currently has a 7-year vesting schedule for employee contributions; over the past decade, some cities have reduced their schedule. He reviewed the investment advisory committee, quarterly MEBT committee meetings, and MEBT performance in 2024. Questions followed regarding whether employment with a partner municipality can be added to vesting, whether a change in the vesting period affects all participants, UBS’s investment portfolio, number of participants in MEBT, employee eligibility for MEBT, and number of vested employees in Edmonds. Ms. Wagener relayed at their May 2024 meeting, the MEBT committee voted to change the vesting period from 7 years to 3 years with a schedule matching Bellevue. This change does not result in an additional cost to the City, but will likely affect forfeitures, the amount not vested when an employee separates. The MEBT committee also voted to provide the option for MEBT enrollment for limited term employees whose work assignment is expected last more than five months. This change does not result in an additional cost to the City. Questions and discussion followed regarding term limited employees currently not being eligible to enroll in MEBT, and information to include in the packet and in the presentation to council. Committee recommendation: Full council 4.

This shift from our current practices has been discussed with City Council by Mr. Mike Bailey, Mayor Rosen, and staff in previous council meetings. Many cities who use the PBB framework also utilize a community survey to gauge the importance of multiple city functions to the population. Examples can be seen in Shoreline, Redmonds, Kirkland, and Bellevue, amongst others. The city contracted with EMC Research, which has a long history of working on municipal surveys, to conduct a survey focused on resident's budget priorities. Staff Recommendation No decision is being requested at this time. This is an information brief only. Narrative The survey went through several rounds of internal review, including staff, members of City Council, and the Mayor's Community Budget Advisory Committee and was fielded using online and telephonic responses starting on July 17th. The target of 400 responses was achieved within a few days. The attached summary shows the high level outcomes of the survey. EMC and city staff will present the data and will be able to answer questions as needed.

This report provides information about the City’s current financial performance, along with forecasts for the second half of the year and a brief introduction to current budget development. Finance Director’s Message I am pleased to present the financial mid-year review, providing a comprehensive analysis of our financial performance for the first half of 2024. This review will not only highlight the achievements and challenges of the past six months but also oƯer a high-level forecast for the second half of 2024. Additionally, it will serve as an introduction to the development of the 2025-2026 biennium budget, outlining key assumptions and considerations essential for our budget planning process. One of the challenges we face is a structurally imbalanced budget. In December 2023, the city passed Resolution 1532 declaring a fiscal emergency due to rising expenses that exceeded revenue, creating a structural deficit. In January, newly elected Mayor Rosen appointed a six-member Blue Ribbon Panel, led by financial consultant Mike Bailey, to provide recommendations for financial recovery and resilience, ensuring the city’s long- term fiscal stability. Mr. Bailey’s July 2nd Council presentation summarizes the Panels observations and recommendations. Their observations were as follows: • Fund balances in the General Fund are far below the required policy targets - Fund balances are below policy targets because of increased authorized expenditures in 2022 and 2023, and additional expenditures approved in budget amendments without identified funding sources, leading to expenditures exceeding revenues by nearly $20 million over two years. • Revenue estimates were overstated - Overstated revenue estimates in 2020, 2022, and 2023 amounted to $7.6 million. Despite staƯ underspending by $16 million, the deficits could have reached $27.6 million, resulting in expenditures exceeding revenues by $11.6 million over three years. • SuƯicient information was not available to the Council to make proper decisions - The Council lacked suƯicient information to make proper decisions due to inadequate documentation of revenue estimates and long-range forecasts that lacked insights into assumptions. As a result, budget amendments from 2020-2023 increased expenditures by $11.3 million above revised revenues. • The budget process and related software systems are antiquated - The City struggles with outdated financial systems and has not implemented a new budget development system, despite paying for unused software subscriptions. 9.2.a Packet Pg. 112 At t a c h m e n t : M i d Y e a r R e p o r t ( M i d - Y e a r R e v i e w ) Additionally, the lack of centralized procurement systems, program metrics for evaluating City programs, and collaboration within City operations has likely led to ineƯicient services. The Blue-Ribbon Panel provided 15 detailed recommendations for the city to implement, aimed at steering the city towards a fiscally healthy direction. These recommendations address key areas requiring improvement and oƯer a comprehensive plan to enhance financial management and operational eƯiciency. Implementing these suggestions will be crucial for achieving long-term fiscal stability and eƯective governance. This mid-year review report will only highlight four of the 15 that are relevant to the topics covered in this report. Those recommendations are as follows: • Develop and evaluate a monthly cash-flow model – Such a model is developed and in use by the Finance Department. • Develop financial policies that clarify boundaries and guidelines – Certain financial policies have been developed and have been considered by the Finance Committee and are being reviewed by full Council at the time of this writing. • Utilize a contemporary approach to budget development such as Priority Based Budgeting (PBB) – the city is going through this process for the 2025 – 2026 biennium budget, which is clarified later in this report. • Make updating related technology a priority – the city is scheduled to replace the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system sometime in 2025. Implementation is expected to last 18 to 24 months. As noted above, one of the key challenges that brought the city to its current financial situation is the increase in expenses outpacing the increase in revenues. Post-pandemic inflation reached an all-time high, driven by a variety of factors, which placed significant pressure on our financial resources and resulted in a structurally imbalanced budget. However, in 2024, the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue Consumer Price Index (CPI) reflects an easing of inflation. This recent trend provides some optimism as we navigate our financial strategies to stabilize and improve our fiscal health. 9.2.a Packet Pg. 113 At t a c h m e n t : M i d Y e a r R e p o r t ( M i d - Y e a r R e v i e w ) In early 2024, we successfully negotiated the police oƯicer employee collective bargaining agreement (CBA), demonstrating the administration's ongoing dedication to supporting our police department. As we look ahead, three other CBAs are set to expire at the end of this year, and negotiations for these agreements are already underway. Enhanced financial reporting will play a crucial role in these negotiations, providing greater transparency and enabling more informed discussions to achieve balanced and fair outcomes for all parties involved. In 2023, the city conducted a utility rate study in collaboration with Financial Consulting Solutions (FCS Group). The rates were eƯective January 2024. The study was essential because the city’s existing rates were insuƯicient to cover the funding necessary for upcoming capital projects, including the Yost and Seaview Reservoir Rehabilitation projects and the Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrades driven by state and federal mandates. Additionally, rising maintenance costs have been surpassing inflation putting further financial pressure on operations. As a result, on average water rates increased 9.0%, sewer rates increased 10.5% and stormwater rates increased 8.5%. The city remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting our community by providing utility assistance and low-income discount programs for those in need. Information on utility assistance is on our website. 9.2.a Packet Pg. 114 At t a c h m e n t : M i d Y e a r R e p o r t ( M i d - Y e a r R e v i e w ) 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report Audit Summary of the 2023 Financial Audit The 2023 financial audit has officially commenced as of July. This crucial process will help ensure the accuracy and integrity of our financial statements, as well as our adherence to applicable regulations and standards. The entrance interview, which marks the initial phase of the audit where the auditors outline their focus areas and methodologies, is scheduled for August 20th at the Finance Committee. During this meeting, the auditors will communicate any additional areas of emphasis that go beyond their standard audit protocols. The City’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government- wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. Government-wide financial statements provide readers with a broad overview of the city’s financial position based on the type of activity, general government versus business-type and are reported on the modified or full accrual basis of accounting. Fund financial statements are set up by fund type, and each fund is a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. The notes to the financial statements enhance the readers understanding of the government-wide and fund financial statements. Throughout the year, we have consistently reported the unaudited beginning fund balances in our monthly financial reports and the 2nd Quarter Budget Amendments, maintaining transparency and providing stakeholders with regular updates on our financial status. One key point to note, which was highlighted in the July 2nd special meeting by Mayor Rosen, is the difference in the General Fund's unaudited 2024 starting balance and what was estimated in the 2024 Adopted Budget. The General Fund is estimated to start the year with a beginning fund balance $550,000 less than what was forecasted in the 2024 Adopted Budget. The difference is important to understand because of its implications on the 2024 ending fund balance and has implications on financial planning and management strategies for 2024. Key Highlights The statement of net position is a government-wide statement that provides a snapshot of the city’s financial health at a specific point in time, detailing its assets, liabilities and net position, which indicates the overall financial stability and resources available for future use. Governmental activities net position increased $1.7 million in 2023. Below is a table showing how the total net position of government activities changed over the past four years. 9.2.a Packet Pg. 115 At t a c h m e n t : M i d Y e a r R e p o r t ( M i d - Y e a r R e v i e w ) Of concern is the increase in revenue in 2023 over 2022 is mainly attributable to capital grants and contributions, and interest and investment earnings. One-time funding sources. Business-type activities net position increased $6.4 million compared to 2022. Below is a table showing how the total net position of business-type activities changed over the past four years. The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City. The 2023 fund balance decreased by $9.6 million or 50.0% from 2022. Below is a table showing how the General Fund ending fund balance changes over the past four years. The City maintains several sub-funds within the General Fund, each designated for specific activities. The table below shows the ending fund balance for these various sub-funds for the same time frame as in the table above.

In the following sections of this Mid-Year Report, we will provide year-over-year revenue comparisons and detailed analyses of how current revenue aligns with the budget. Similarly, we will present a comprehensive report on expenses, comparing actual expenditures to the budgeted amounts. Mid-Year Financial Results Revenue At the mid-year point, several key revenue sources in the General Fund show mixed results. In total General Fund revenue at the end of June totals $26.2 million, surpassing the cumulative budget by 7.34%. Real Personal/Property Tax and EMS Levy revenue increased by $316,253 compared to last year. The jump in property tax revenue is due to utilizing banked capacity. However, as the graph below indicates, 2024 actual collections are slightly behind 2024 budgeted forecast. Sales tax revenue, including criminal justice sales tax, has risen by $140,870 or 2.3% compared to this time last year, closely aligning with the budget forecast. However, it is expected to fall slightly short of the year-end budget target. While the increase over 2023 is currently trending at 2 to 3%, the 2024 budget had anticipated a 5% increase. Various economic factors at the national, state, and local levels warrant a conservative approach to budgeting and forecasting sales and use tax revenue for the 2025 – 2026 biennium. These factors include a national slowdown in GDP, rising unemployment, and mixed 9.2.a Packet Pg. 117 At t a c h m e n t : M i d Y e a r R e p o r t ( M i d - Y e a r R e v i e w ) consumer confidence reports, all of which justify cautious budgeting for this revenue source. Utility taxes show varied performance, with some exceeding and others falling behind their cumulative budgets. Notably, the gas tax from Puget Sound Energy is down by $113,486. To clarify the chart below, the budget line is the 2024 budget in total for each of the utility tax types. Keep in mind there are seasonal fluctuations in a few of these utility tax revenue sources and the 2024 budget line is the 2024 budget in total. 9.2.a Packet Pg. 118 At t a c h m e n t : M i d Y e a r R e p o r t ( M i d - Y e a r R e v i e w ) City staff receive a few questions regarding utility taxes which are also called Business & Occupation (B&O) taxes on utility companies. Any city may impose a tax on the income of utility companies which is unrestricted and available for any lawful governmental purpose. Maximum tax rate may not exceed 6% for electric, gas, steam, and telephone services unless approved by voters. There is no limitation on the tax rate for water, sewer, solid waste, or stormwater utilities. These are general rules surrounding utility taxes and there are other considerations. Below is a table of current city utility taxes. UTILITY TYPE TAX RATE Electric 6.0% Natural Gas 6.0% Telephone 6.0% Cable Television 6.0% Solid Waste 6.0% City Sewer 10.0% City Water 10.0% City Stormwater 10.0% The city is experiencing a notable increase in development permit revenues for the city. With a total budget allocation of $1.5 million designated for development permit fees and plan reviews, we have achieved revenues amounting to $1.3 million, representing 68% of the annual budget, at the six-month mark. Development services revenues compared to the mid-point 2023, revenues have increased by $365,621. 9.2.a Packet Pg. 119 At t a c h m e n t : M i d Y e a r R e p o r t ( M i d - Y e a r R e v i e w ) As we conduct our mid-year financial review, the city has received grant revenue that was not included in the 2024 Adopted Budget. This additional funding provides a one-time infusion of resources that enhances our capacity for city operations. The proactive efforts of our dedicated staff in securing these grants have proven fruitful, albeit we recognize that such funding sources are temporary in nature. A few of these such grants are as follows: • Department of Commerce Solar Energy Grant - $113,126.94 • Growth Management Act Periodic Update - $100,000.00 • Interlocal grants - $70,000 Street Fund revenue comes from two main outside sources: transportation benefit tab fees (TBD) and motor vehicle fuel tax. Both revenue streams are lagging at the halfway point of the year. Year-to-date, TBD revenue is $458,877, which represents 29.5% of the total budget, and fuel tax revenue is $205,598, or 31.6% of the total budget. However, TBD fees were increased from $20 to $40 effective in March, so we expect revenue collections to increase in the second half of the year. Fuel tax is based on the number of gallons sold and is not influenced by price changes. While there is some seasonal fluctuation, the first half of the year does not differ significantly from the second half in terms of revenue. Our forecast for fuel tax revenue is $420,000, which represents 65% of the total budget. REET revenue in the first quarter of 2024 was underperforming. High mortgage rates at the beginning of the year, coupled with a positive but slowing year-over-year growth in Seattle home prices, constrained REET revenue. However, the second quarter showed much more encouraging results. At the six-month mark, we are now almost 20% above budgeted levels.

While non-department expenditures appear to be on target, it is important to note that the fire services contract has been paid from Fund 142 Edmonds Rescue Plan Fund for the first half of the year. Starting in July, these expenses will now be recorded in the General Fund non-department. The spending forecast for the second half of the year in department 39 is $6.9 million, bringing the total projected spending for 2024 to $9.8 million, which exceeds the budget by $3.0 million for that department. The following chart illustrates decisions made to keep certain positions vacant, partially offsetting the $3.2 million vacancy offset in department 39. It is important to note that the administration has implemented additional measures beyond salary and benefit savings to adhere to the budget constraints. These proactive steps demonstrate a comprehensive approach to managing expenses while ensuring the fiscal health of the department.

Overall, we forecast General Fund revenues to come in above budget by $260,000. In our mid-year financial review, it is important to note a significant change in our revenue forecast from previous reports. We have made a course correction of $400,000, primarily attributed to recent grant developments. Specifically, we received and expect to receive $200,000 in grant revenues during June and July, along with an increased forecast in development revenue amounting to $200,000. While recurring revenues have fallen short of the budgeted expectations, the infusion of one-time funding has had a substantial impact on our overall city revenues. This adjustment underscores the dynamic nature of our financial situation.

Our staƯ continues to monitor all revenue sources and will provide updates as we develop the 2025 – 2026 biennium budget. At the current time: o Sales and use tax are forecasted to total $13.1 million compared to a budget of $13.5 million. Sales and use tax are trending at an increase of 2 – 3% increase over 2023. While Washington job growth remains healthy, it is prudent to remain conservative in sales tax revenue given unemployment claims are trending up, and Washington wage growth has been slow according to Washington State Economic and Revenue Forecast Council July update. o The city’s solar project was eligible to apply for Energy Credits available under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. For tax exempt municipalities, the Internal Revenue Service compensates with direct payment option. Tax forms have been filed but payment has not been received as of June. The amount the city was eligible for is $200,000. o Street revenue, including the $400,000 transfer from the General Fund, which was booked in June, is forecast to end the year at $2.4 million compared to a budget of $2.6 million. As noted above, this is due to decreasing gas tax revenue and a delay in the increase of TBD fees. o Real Estate Excise Tax is forecasted to end the year at $3.1 million which is 3.3% higher than the 2024 Adopted Budget of $3.0 million. Despite weakening year-over-year home price growth and high mortgage rates, low inventory is allowing REET revenue to meet, and slightly exceed, the 2024 budget. Although economists initially expected the Federal Reserve to maintain rates throughout the year, recent economic indicators suggest a possible rate reduction in the latter half of 2024. This revenue trend will be interesting to monitor over the next six months. • In our mid-year financial report for 2024, it is evident that our 2024 Adopted Budget incorporated assumptions regarding vacancies and cost of living allowances for negotiating collective bargaining units. However, upon review, it has become clear that the vacancy oƯset was budgeted high, and the allocated cost of living increase was insuƯicient. These budgetary constraints, characterized by an artificially high vacancy rate and a low cost of living allowance, are proving challenging to navigate within the current fiscal year. The administration took on that challenge, and we developed a plan to counteract these two budget constraints and implemented measures necessary to keep the city within budget. However, several other fiscal events have undermined those actions. As a result, I anticipate the need for a 9.2.a Packet Pg. 123 At t a c h m e n t : M i d Y e a r R e p o r t ( M i d - Y e a r R e v i e w ) budget amendment in the third quarter to properly align the city's appropriation authority with current operational realities and legal requirements. This adjustment will ensure that we eƯectively meet the needs of our community while adhering to budgetary legal requirements. Policy Reserve Forecast for Year-Ending 2024 Policy reserves are a crucial component of the city’s financial strategy, ensuring the stability and preparedness for unforeseen circumstances. The city’s policy reserves are currently being reviewed as part of the city’s financial policies. The policy reserve forecast below is calculated according to the currently approved and existing policy. Utility Supported Funds Financial Performance As highlighted in the Finance Director’s message, a rate study conducted in 2023 resulted in rate increases for all three utilities. Additionally, in the first half of the year, the utilities undertook a bond issue, refunding the 2013 water and sewer bonds and issuing new bonds to fund major water and stormwater capital projects. Water and sewer revenues are just slightly out pacing budget however, stormwater revenue is lagging. This is attributed to grant reimbursement, which will be reimbursed as the capital projects progress. Mid-Year Financial Results Revenues As of the latest update, utility revenue from services is aligning closely with budget expectations. Following the 2023 rate study, water rates saw a 9% increase, stormwater rates rose by 13%, and sewer rates increased by 10.5%. These adjustments were crucial for bolstering financial reserves, covering escalating operating expenses, and funding imminent capital projects.

Expenditures As we reach the mid-point of the year, our financial review indicates that salaries and benefits across all three utility funds are slightly below the 50% expenditure mark. The city has encountered some vacancies, and while new positions approved in the 2024 budget were budgeted for a full year, the recruitment process has impacted actual expenditures which is typical. Looking ahead, we anticipate professional services and capital spending to accelerate in the second half of the year due to favorable weather conditions.

These enhancements are designed to ensure that we build structurally balanced budgets and create financial resiliency. Strong financial policies are the cornerstone of financial health, guiding us toward sustainable fiscal management. The city also adopted a transformative budgeting approach, known as budgeting by priorities, which incorporates substantial community input. Financial Policy Updates To achieve a structurally balanced budget, we have focused on aligning ongoing revenues with ongoing expenditures, thereby avoiding reliance on one-time revenue sources for recurring expenses. This approach not only promotes fiscal discipline but also ensures the long-term stability of our financial system. The new policy maintains General Fund reserve requirements and introduces stricter reporting requirements if the city approaches spending those reserves. The enhanced financial policies also define monthly reporting requirements, incorporating best practices and robust financial management principles. Budgeting by Priorities Approach To allow our community to better understand how their tax dollars are being spent, the city embarked on a budgeting by priorities process for the 2025-2026 biennium. City staff classify their work into programs and services that are easily recognizable to the community, assign costs to these programs and services, and then score the programs. This method emphasizes the allocation of resources to programs and services that align with the community’s most important priorities. To accurately identify these priorities, we conducted a statistically valid city survey, engaging a broad spectrum of our community to gather their input on what matters most to them. Community Engagement and City Council Determination of City Priorities The results of the city survey will be pivotal in informing the budget process. The survey results will be presented to the City Council, which is responsible for making the final determination of priorities. This inclusive approach ensures that the budget reflects the community's needs and values, fostering transparency and trust between the city and its residents. 9.2.a Packet Pg. 128 At t a c h m e n t : M i d Y e a r R e p o r t ( M i d - Y e a r R e v i e w ) Evaluation and Scoring of City Programs Once the priorities are established, all city programs undergo a rigorous evaluation process. Each program is scored against a set of basic program attributes and city priorities. Basic program attributes include seven key factors, such as whether a program is required by law, generates revenue to offset costs, and the extent of the population served by the program. The scoring process is conducted by internal city staff and community advisory boards. This scoring system places city programs into one of four tiers: • Tier 1: Programs that directly and significantly support city priorities. • Tier 2: Programs that support city priorities but with less direct impact. • Tier 3: Programs with limited support for city priorities. • Tier 4: Programs that do not directly support city priorities. Programs in Tiers 1 and 2 will continue to receive support, given their alignment with the community's priorities. Conversely, programs that fall into Tiers 3 and 4 have been identified as not directly supporting city priorities. Strategic Decision-Making for Lower-Tier Programs For programs in Tiers 3 and 4, we are initiating conversations about limiting their expansion or considering divestment altogether. While we will initiate discussions about programs in tiers 3 and 4, it is essential to support programs in these tiers that are mandated by law, as identified in their basic program attributes. This strategic decision-making process aims to reallocate resources more effectively, ensuring that the city invests in areas that provide the highest value to the community and considering divestment in programs that provide the least value to the community. By scrutinizing lower-tier programs, we can free up resources to enhance and expand high-priority services and initiatives. Key Assumptions In preparing the 2025-2026 biennium budget, several key assumptions were made to ensure a realistic and strategic financial plan. These assumptions include projected revenue growth rates, anticipated inflation levels, expected changes in population demographics, and potential impacts of legislative changes. The first six months of the fiscal year provide critical insights into the accuracy of these assumptions. Analyzing the actual revenue and expenses against the budgeted figures reveals trends that either validate or challenge our initial projections. This mid-year review aims to assess how these trends impact the key assumptions and subsequently inform necessary adjustments to maintain fiscal stability and achieve our strategic goals for the next biennium. Below are a few of the following key assumptions for revenues and expenditures: 9.2.a Packet Pg. 129 At t a c h m e n t : M i d Y e a r R e p o r t ( M i d - Y e a r R e v i e w ) Program and department budgets are built at the same time of this writing. Only a few assumptions have been determined at this time. We will know more in the coming weeks. EXPENSES 2025 2026 Salaries COLA 3.8% 4.0% Medical Benefits 8.5% 8.5% Utilities * 5.0% 5.0% Conclusion We began the year facing a fiscal emergency, and as we conclude the mid-year financial report, we are not yet in the clear. However, through strategic measures such as maintaining vacancies and identifying areas for immediate spending reductions, we curbed excess spending with the intent of maintaining community service levels until the priority-based budget process is finalized.

Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that these parcels remain under Snohomish County’s jurisdiction and continue to be part of Lynnwood’s UGA. Edmonds should not move forward with the process to make the parcels part of Edmonds’ UGA and not should not annex these parcels. Narrative Adding unincorporated parcels to a city is done through the annexation process consistent with RCW 35A.14. While it is possible to work with Snohomish County and the City of Lynnwood to shift both cities’ urban growth boundaries, there are not tangible city benefits from this proposal, especially in consideration of the financial and resource impacts associated with it. More importantly, no detailed studies have been done regarding the full costs involved with an annexation like this. However, Mike DeLilla, the City’s Senior Utilities Engineer, has drafted a brief memo that describes in very general terms some of the utility costs that would be involved (Attachment 3). For example, all 48 lots are currently on septic. Upon annexation, each of those lots would have to connect to municipal sewer. That alone would be a multi-million-dollar cost but there are a range of additional charges that would be assessed as part of the connection process. A similar situation exists for the water and storm utilities where system upgrades could run into the millions of dollars. Finally, there are no sidewalks in the area and portions of the road have no curb; providing those would be another expense, very likely in the millions of dollars. If the parcels became part of Edmonds’ UGA and were then annexed by Edmonds, who would pay for the needed improvements? If the 48 homeowners pay for all of the required upgrades at annexation, the bill would likely be cost- prohibitive (at least several hundred thousand dollars per parcel). If the City pays, Council would need to raise rates on all utility customers in order to generate the funds to pay for the needed studies and infrastructure work. After that, Council would need to approve either: o Placing liens on each of the 48 parcels to cover their respective share of the costs for the infrastructure construction, so that upon sale of the respective properties, the City could begin recouping the costs of building the infrastructure. 9.3 Packet Pg. 131 o Not place liens and have the rest of the City’s utility rate payers effectively subsidize the work at a time of lean budgets and substantial costs for maintaining existing infrastructure throughout Edmonds. Maintaining the status quo with having the parcels remain under Snohomish County jurisdiction and in Lynnwood’s UGA is the most cost-effective and sound planning approach for the City of Edmonds.

AUDIENCE COMMENTS Mayor Nelson described the procedures for audience comments. Gayla Shoemake, Edmonds, said although she did not always agree with all of their decisions, she appreciated the work the council and mayor do in support of the City and the effort they put into the decisions they make. She provided the council a heads up that many members of the community are seriously concerned about the lack of climate crisis action on the part of individuals, families and businesses 9.3.b Packet Pg. 129 At t a c h m e n t : E D M O N D S C I T Y C O U N C I L M I N U T E S A u g u s t 1 5 , 2 0 2 3 a u d i e n c e c o m m e n t s ( R e s o l u t i o n t o R e q u e s t C h a n g e i n M e a d o w d a l e 9.3.b Packet Pg. 140 At t a c h m e n t : A t t a c h m e n t 2 - C o u n c i l A g e n d a I t e m - S e p t e m b e r 5 , 2 0 2 3 ( F o l l o w U p o n R e s o l u t i o n 1 5 3 0 ( M e a d o w d a l e M U G A B o u n d a r y C h a n g e ) ) Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes August 15, 2023 Page 2 and will soon be coming to the council. Because the 2023 Climate Action Plan (CAP) has no implementation plan, nothing has happened to call attention to what private individuals and businesses should have been doing since 2010. The 2010 CAP includes a plan for implementation; the 2023 CAP does not and is only an update of the 2010 CAP, not a replacement. She suggested adding the 2010 implementation plan to the 2023 CAP which would save time and money and start things moving. Implementation of climate work is a safety issue and she referenced what happened in Maui where there was no plan. Edmonds can no longer ignore the fact that safety is in jeopardy. Resources must be included in the 2024 budget as noted in the 2010 implementation plan. Edmonds used to be a leader in climate change preparation; that is no longer true and Edmonds is now way behind. Taking this action and moving forward with the 2010 implementation plan will at least get the City started. Marlin Phelps, Marysville, commented in 2004 his then wife and he prequalified for a home and were searching for a home in the Edmonds area. They located a home three houses west of Lake Ballinger, perfect due to beach access and his then wife’s love of kayaking and him being an avid angler. Two days later he overheard his then wife on the phone with their real estate agent say no to Mountlake Terrace, it has to be Edmonds and two weeks later they purchased a house west of Edmonds-Woodway High School. Years later he learned what that meant, the Zachors and Robert Barker, the lookout and sheep, and what they had in common was Edmonds Municipal Court. When they murdered Thomas Wales, they had a plan to frame him for the murder. All the steps they took to never have a trial; he offered to explain to council all the things they did to him. Thomas Wales’ murder is still unsolved, but he can solve it. He appreciated that Judge Whitney Rivera has a conflict of interest but in 2006 James White was set up simply because he was a shoo-in and would have oversight. He did nothing wrong in that case. Kevin Fagerstrom, Edmonds, reported two Saturdays ago he was walking on 6th Avenue and when he turned on Main, he saw a woman lying on the sidewalk. Concerned for her wellbeing and hoping to provide assistance, he ran toward her. As he neared her, she rolled onto her side and asked what he was doing. Assuming she was hurt, he offered to help her up. The woman explained she was laying on the sidewalk reading a land use action sign mounted on a steel H frame sign stuck in the dirt where the ground was about 8 inches below grade so the sign was at the grade of the sidewalk and the only way she could read it was to lay on the pavement. He helped her up and they had a brief discussion and chuckle about the posting of the sign. He drove to other construction sites in the City including one at the Baskin & Robbins site and a 17 unit planned residential development on SR 104 & 5th. The same type of signs were mounted on both those sites. He subsequently read the code and found it is not being complied with; the code only requires the sign be visible to pedestrians. There are no sidewalks on either side of the street near the site on SR 104 so there are no pedestrians to see the 15x18 inch land use action sign and the much smaller written notice and it is much too small for passing motorists to see. He suggested some way whereby citizens are notified of proposed land use actions and how they can provide public comment. Jim Ogonowski, Edmonds, referred to agenda item 8.2 which proposes the use of ARPA funds for the Landmark 99 site purchase. He did not feel ARPA funds were an appropriate source of funds for that purpose. ARPA funds should be used for something tangible, not a study. If City staff is interested in conducting a study, they should make a proposal regarding how funds in their budget can be used to gather information the council is looking for. He suggested the council consider what information they were looking for and asked if City staff had approached each councilmember asking what information they needed to make a decision in December. The council is the customer in this case; City staff should be asking that question and councilmembers should indicate what information they need, not necessarily what they want, to make an informed decision in December. Zigman Fraker, Edmonds, commented the proposed Landmark 99 site has long served as a curiosity on the Edmonds landscape, one he only began to explore after more than 20 years living in Edmonds. The Antique Pavilion is a treasure trove known to artists, makers and collectors throughout the region and the 9.3.b Packet Pg. 130 At t a c h m e n t : E D M O N D S C I T Y C O U N C I L M I N U T E S A u g u s t 1 5 , 2 0 2 3 a u d i e n c e c o m m e n t s ( R e s o l u t i o n t o R e q u e s t C h a n g e i n M e a d o w d a l e 9.3.b Packet Pg. 141 At t a c h m e n t : A t t a c h m e n t 2 - C o u n c i l A g e n d a I t e m - S e p t e m b e r 5 , 2 0 2 3 ( F o l l o w U p o n R e s o l u t i o n 1 5 3 0 ( M e a d o w d a l e M U G A B o u n d a r y C h a n g e ) ) Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes August 15, 2023 Page 3 Burlington Coat Factory is an affordable option for those looking to clothe themselves and their families. However, one cannot ignore the fact that the landowner is interested in selling and 10 acres of land on the King/Snohomish County border represents, as Mayor Nelson described, an opportunity. The only question in their mind was how the City intends to use that opportunity. In June Planning & Development Director McLaughlin commented on the breakup of existing communities with construction of SR 99 and in 1964 when the cloverleaf interchange was built to connect SR 104. Her report used the term blight or urban decay to describe the southern reach of the Highway 99 subarea which Councilmember Nand disputed did not reflect the economic contributions of that community. They believed the cultural isolation created in decades past between the more affluent, older and frankly White demographics of the downtown bowl and the diversity of the Highway 99 area represents an opportunity to enrich Edmonds as a whole by encouraging intercommunity dialogue and construction of civic works to bridge those gaps. There is an opportunity to take one small step toward a united Edmonds by taking seriously the comments and public visioning for these 10 acres. As a lifetime Edmonds resident and a business owner with generations of privilege behind them, they still struggle to afford rents higher than many mortgages in the area. Edmonds is under threat of pushing lower income families further and further to the fringe or out of town entirely. There is an opportunity with the Landmark 99 site to build quality affordable housing, community centers or human services, a small step toward healing and unifying the community. They urged the council and mayor to take seriously the comments from those who stand to gain or lose the most from the direction of this and other civic projects in the future. They urged the council and mayor to enthusiastically work with these communities to determine what will best serve their lives, not because it is the most politically expedient to appease the more privileged members of society but because there is an opportunity to heal the wounds done by those who were in power before. Thatcher Boddendeitchel, Edmonds, a member of Carpenters Local 206, commented infrastructure is a very big topic including state funds for affordable housing. He urged the council to consider when planning affordable housing projects to consider using union labor. The Market Share Recovery program allows the City to get a bid from a non-union company and a union-backed company. If the City accepts the union company, the union pays the difference in cost between the two bids so the City can try out union labor and see the difference. He and his neighbors, a union electrician and concrete mason, commute out of Edmonds to build other cities’ economy and infrastructure. He would be honored to be able to build in Edmonds, to show his children in the future something he built. He encouraged the council to support union labor. Zach Bloomfield, a resident of the unincorporated area north of Meadowdale Playfields sometimes referred to as the unincorporated Meadowdale area, said 46 homes have Edmonds addresses in the 98026 zip code and are served by the Perrinville post office. Most residents purchased their homes believing they were in Edmonds city limits and even pay Edmonds sales tax on delivered purchases. They recently learned that their neighborhood was designated as part of Lynnwood’s municipal urban growth area (MUGA) per the Snohomish County strategic plan, done without consultation with the affec ted homeowners. For many reasons, primarily their identity as Edmonds residents, there is a consensus among the neighborhood against annexation by Lynnwood and they would strongly prefer to be annexed by Edmonds as represented by a not yet officially submitted annexation petition signed by more than 60% of his neighbors. There was a previous annexation proposal and petition in 2010/2011 presented to the Edmonds council that was never acted upon. While they recognize it is a relatively cumbersome process to be released from Lynnwood’s MUGA, annexed by Edmonds and certified by the Snohomish County Boundary Review Board, they would appreciate and urge the Edmonds council to support them in formally joining the city they love. They would prefer their property taxes support Edmonds and that they are able to vote on City matters. His wife, who is home with their 5-year old, asked him to say that they are a very tightknit neighborhood that plans collective events, is filled with kids and is proud to be part of the wider Edmonds community even if not officially part of Edmonds yet. 9.3.b Packet Pg. 131 At t a c h m e n t : E D M O N D S C I T Y C O U N C I L M I N U T E S A u g u s t 1 5 , 2 0 2 3 a u d i e n c e c o m m e n t s ( R e s o l u t i o n t o R e q u e s t C h a n g e i n M e a d o w d a l e 9.3.b Packet Pg. 142 At t a c h m e n t : A t t a c h m e n t 2 - C o u n c i l A g e n d a I t e m - S e p t e m b e r 5 , 2 0 2 3 ( F o l l o w U p o n R e s o l u t i o n 1 5 3 0 ( M e a d o w d a l e M U G A B o u n d a r y C h a n g e ) ) Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes August 15, 2023 Page 4 Tony Schapiro, Edmonds, expressed concern with the proposal to restrict the ability to walk dogs on the jetty that runs on the north side of the ferry dock. There is some confusion whether that restriction would extend to the south side of the ferry, the other side of Brackett’s Landing. He and his two dogs enjoy walking in that area. The Parks department does a magnificent job keeping the area clean, grooming the grass, and keeping sand off the sidewalk. Restricting the ability to walk dogs on a leash will not keep dogs from harassing wildlife. In the years he has walked his dogs there, only once has he seen a dog running loose on the north side of the jetty. Instead of mandating that citizens cannot walk their dogs on leash in this area, he suggested new signage with a number to report off-leash dogs. The existing signage has a list of restricted items on the beach; if dogs are the primary concern, there should be a more dominant sign requesting dogs be on leash. Theresa Hollis, Edmonds, referred to agenda item 8.2, Landmark 99 Project Update and Budget Request that includes a transfer of ARPA funds intended for Edmonds business owners to a consultant for the Landmark project. She was opposed to that budget management technique and preferred the intended use of those funds. If staff advises the grant be reshaped to be easier to administer, that should be the next step. There have been fairly significant departmental budget underruns year-to-date; the planning & development department has underrun their budget by $530,000 through June 2023. It is inappropriate for that department to ask for a transfer to take funds away from Edmonds business owners and spent it on professional fees. She understood funds were needed to the vet the concept of this mega Landmark 99 project, but the existing funding provided to parks and planning & development should be adequate to pay whatever professional service fees will be needed in the next couple months. Ken Reidy, Edmonds, explained April 25, 2023 was to be the night Edmonds city council decided between continuing to contract for city attorney services or hire inhouse attorneys. Councilmember Paine stated the following that evening: Per our subcommittee work plan, if the choice is to continue with contract ed services, the subcommittee will propose a draft request for proposal/request for qualifications. If the decision is to bring these services in-house, the administration will be asked to start the process of putting together a job description and ultimately publishing the job bulletin seeking applicants. History shows neither of the two options established under the subcommittee work plan happened. A surprise was in store; Resolution 1295 states a mayor participates in discussion and debate only with permission of the city council. Despite this, Councilmember Paine, representing the subcommittee and reading from prepared comments, invited Mayor Nelson to speak first on the issue. Neither Councilmember Paine nor the subcommittee had the authority to invite the mayor to speak. Resolution 1295 was resolved on June 16, 2013. Mr. Reidy continued, as Mayor Nelson started to speak, Councilmember Buckshnis properly raised a point of order related to council’s need to vote to allow the mayor to speak. A point of order is a simple thing to handle properly; when a point of order is made, the meeting chair rules on the point of order. That didn’t happen, instead Councilmember Paine asked if she could speak to the point of order. Mayor Nelson allowed her to comment on the point of order. While Councilmember Paine was speaking, Council President Tibbott raised his own point of order. Mayor Nelson never ruled on either point of order. Before the April 25, 2023 council meeting concluded, Councilmember Nand made comments about not falling prey to a very vocal minority that have issues with the city attorney. No one made a point of order related to Councilmember Nand’s comments. Four councilmembers voted to continue contracting with Lighthouse. Tonight council is being asked to approve a five year contract with Lighthouse Law Group. He requested the council remove it from the consent agenda and address the conduct that took place during the April 25 council meeting and have the subcommittee propose a draft RFP/RFQ as soon as possible. Sherri Larsen Woods, a resident of unincorporated Meadowdale, echoed the comments made by Zach Bloomfield. She has lived in Edmonds for many years and never thought when she bought her home that it 9.3.b Packet Pg. 132 At t a c h m e n t : E D M O N D S C I T Y C O U N C I L M I N U T E S A u g u s t 1 5 , 2 0 2 3 a u d i e n c e c o m m e n t s ( R e s o l u t i o n t o R e q u e s t C h a n g e i n M e a d o w d a l e 9.3.b Packet Pg. 143 At t a c h m e n t : A t t a c h m e n t 2 - C o u n c i l A g e n d a I t e m - S e p t e m b e r 5 , 2 0 2 3 ( F o l l o w U p o n R e s o l u t i o n 1 5 3 0 ( M e a d o w d a l e M U G A B o u n d a r y C h a n g e ) ) Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes August 15, 2023 Page 5 was not an Edmonds address.

Mike De Lilla, PE, Senior Utilities Engineer SEWER. All 48 lots are on septic. Each parcel will be subject to owner-funded sewer pipe extensions and other private property plumbing improvements. In addition, General Facilities Charges (GFCs) must be paid per Edmonds Development Code (EDC) 18.10.010, and Washington Administrative Code (WAC ) 246- 272A once annexed. Those parcels within 200 feet of City sewer pipes will be required to connect to the City system first. 1. The entire MUGA is at the top of the City’s sewer system basin in this location, and effluent would drain to two different downstream sewer pump stations and then be conveyed in gravity sewer mains that eventually discharge to the Lynnwood Sewer Treatment Plant. a. Since these parcels are not in Edmonds’ MUGA, the City’s sewer drainage model will need to be updated/redone for this basin to ensure that downstream pipe capacity and pumps can handle the additional flows and that downstream system upgrades/upsizing are not required. b. The modeling costs are above and beyond the costs associated with the sewer extensions that are needed. c. Modeling costs are currently estimated to be between $10,000 to $20,000 and would need to be paid for/cost split between all parcels. 2. All Parcels will eventually be required to pay Sewer GFCs. Fees cost for each parcel will depend on water meter size. a. The GFC for a ¾” meter is currently $6,598. b. The GFC for a 1” meter is currently $16,495. 3. Each parcel will be required to pay for any applicable sewer extension costs as well, with the total extension cost for all the parcels totaling in the millions (refer to LID below). Sewer main extensions can be accomplished in multiple ways, a couple of which are outlined here: a. Main extension parcel by parcel. Each parcel could extend the sewer main as an individual project and as main extensions are made, the next parcel upstream could then extend the main further, making their connection accordingly and so forth. Through this process, each parcel would eventually be connected. This result would be a cascading/piecemeal effect of sewer construction in this neighborhood that would span a decade or more, since the uphill parcels cannot connect unless the downstream systems are in place. 9.3.c Packet Pg. 145 At t a c h m e n t : A t t a c h m e n t 3 - E d m o n d s P u b l i c W o r k s M e a d o w d a l e M U G A m e m o ( F o l l o w U p o n R e s o l u t i o n 1 5 3 0 ( M e a d o w d a l e M U G A B o u n d a r y 2 b. Main Extension by Local Improvement District project (LID). An LID managed by the City would be the most cost effective solution, but it still needs to be funded by each of the 48 parcels. i. The LID sewer main extension would be about 3,300 feet in length. ii. Based on current construction costs for our most recent 2 years of sewer main capital projects, this sewer extension (work within right of way) will cost in the range of about $4,000,000 to $6,000,000. The right of way work for the sewer extension alone will therefore translate to about $83,333.33 to $125,000 per parcel/lot that would be owed by each resident/property owner. Not included in these costs are the following: a) Potential cost of any required downstream pipe and lift station upsizing. This alone could add millions to the cost that the parcels would need to pay. b) GFC ’s c) Sewer modeling d) Onsite work within each parcel, including but not limited to: 1) Decommissioning septic systems 2) Replumbing onsite sewer system to connect to the new sewer main 3) Other items, such as onsite sewer pumps. c. Some parcels may need force mains for their respective sewer systems, if they cannot connect to the City sewer mains by gravity. This would be an additional cost over and above the work and costs summarized. d. If the parcels don’t complete the work in the required time period, council can approve for the City do the work, via LID as well, and then place a lien on each property for the amount owed. In addition, the respective property owner would have to pay interest on this amount. i. The costs associated with this effort are extensive and therefore, the City would need to get a bond to fund the extension and any downstream upgrades. ii. In order to generate these funds, the City would need to increase sewer rates that we charge to all of our residents and businesses. All Edmonds sewer customers would in turn be paying for (subsidizing) the needed rate increase to account for this work. The City would then be allowed to place liens on all the properties, instead of the respective property owners paying for the design and construction when the system is built. 9.3.c Packet Pg. 146 At t a c h m e n t : A t t a c h m e n t 3 - E d m o n d s P u b l i c W o r k s M e a d o w d a l e M U G A m e m o ( F o l l o w U p o n R e s o l u t i o n 1 5 3 0 ( M e a d o w d a l e M U G A B o u n d a r y 3 4. The MUGA is also not included in the City’s Interlocal agreement with Lynnwood that allows us to discharge into their trunk main. The City would need to revise/renegotiate the current interlocal with Lynnwood to add this location. WATER. Water system belongs to Alderwood Water and Wastewater District (AWWD)/Lynnwood. 1. All fees would continue to go to Lynnwood/AWWD. 2. It would need to be determined if the water system could be acquired or kept the way it is. Either way, interlocal/franchise agreement with AWWD/Lynnwood will be needed to formalize this if this location is annexed. 3. If the City does take over ownership of the system, system modifications would be needed as well, so that it becomes part of the City system. Updates to the City water system model would be required to verify that no upgrades/upsizing to our systems will be needed to support these parcels and ensure that the system meets all current standards. System upgrades could run in the millions of dollars. STORM. 1. Storm drainage system needs, and condition would have to be evaluated for possible flooding and drainage issues, possible extensions, and upsizing. 2. Costs are unknown, since this has not been evaluated, since it is not in our MUGA. System upgrades could run in the millions of dollars. SIDEWALKS. 1. The neighborhood does not have any sidewalks and portions of the right of way/roadway have no curb. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. 1. Significant staff time from multiple departments would need to be diverted from other tasks to complete this effort. 2. This is a high level assessment; the list above is not a full comprehensive list of all that needs to factored in for annexation. In consideration of this, the overall costs and staff time impacts would likely be higher. 9.3.c Packet Pg. 147 At t a c h m e n t : A t t a c h m e n t 3 - E d m o n d s P u b l i c W o r k s M e a d o w d a l e M U G A m e m o ( F o l l o w U p o n R e s o l u t i o n 1 5 3 0 ( M e a d o w d a l e M U G A B o u n d a r y
