Community Services I. EDMONDS CROSSING Project Description Edmonds Crossing is a regional project intended to provide a long-term solution to current operational and safety conflicts between ferry, rail, automobile, bus, and pedestrian traffic in downtown Edmonds and along State Route 104. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) (including Washington State Ferries [WSF]), and City of Edmonds propose to relocate the existing state ferry terminal from Main Street, in downtown Edmonds, to Pt. Edwards, south of the downtown core. In the process, a multimodal center would be established that would integrate ferry, rail, and transit services into a single complex. A realigned SR 104 from its current intersection with Pine Street would provide access. The new complex would provide an upgraded ferry terminal designed to meet the operational requirements for accommodating forecast ferry ridership demand; a new rail station designed to meet intercity passenger (Amtrak) and commuter rail (Sounder) service; a transit center that would meet local bus system and regional transit system loading requirements; facilities that allow both vehicular commuters and walk-on passengers to utilize various transportation modes; parking, drop-off areas, retail/ concessionaire space, waiting areas; and a system linking these facilities to allow for the safe movement of users. City of Edmonds Z Community Services Packet Page 72 of 234 Significant Activities Since April 22, 2009 • April, May, June and July, 2009 – In response to a Washington State Legislature directive, WSF staff are exploring minimum build alternatives / options for the Mukilteo and Edmonds multimodal terminals. • See Section VII, May 26, 2009 update for information presented to the City Council by WSDOT Assistant Secretary David Moseley. • See Section VIII, July 15, 2009 update on Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries Division Edmonds/Kingston Ferry Route Partnership Meeting – Reservation System Pre-Design Study II. SOUND TRANSIT (PHASE 1, AKA SOUND MOVE) Project Description During the past few years, Sound Transit has been implementing what is called the Sound Move Plan. One element calls for commuter rail services, otherwise known as Sounder. Commuter rail will eventually link Everett in the north with Seattle, Tacoma and Lakewood in the South, a total of 82 miles through three counties. Sounder is being implemented in three phases, one of which includes Everett to Seattle. Three commuter rail stations are planned along this corridor, i.e., Everett, Mukilteo and Edmonds. Everett-Seattle Sounder, at full operation, now calls for 8 trains per day, i.e., four round trips, and will include reverse trips. This is a reduction of two round trips from the originally proposed operational plan. Initial service will be phased in. The first roundtrip train run began in December, 2003. Edmonds Station is currently located between Main and Dayton Streets along both sides of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) tracks. The station area is also co-located with Amtrak’s Edmonds Passenger Station. The existing Sounder commuter rail station includes a 400-foot-long platform, ADA mini-high, two ticket vending machines and parking lot with 200 spaces. Sound Transit Edmonds Station may be considered an interim facility until such time Edmonds Crossing construction is completed, or circumstances related to the status of Edmonds Crossing change. The current Edmonds Station project budget is $13.1M. A total of $4.0 million has been spent to date for agency administration, preliminary engineering, temporary improvements, property acquisition, and permits. The remaining budget should be sufficient to develop final design documents, acquire platform leases and construct the station per plans reviewed by the City of Edmonds Architectural Design Board and City Council in 2002 (see February 24, 2009 update below). In an attempt to address future needs in the area, a culvert may be installed, if feasible, near the Marina Beach property beneath both BNSF Railroad tracks, concurrent with the construction of a second track. If feasible, this will allow for the eventual daylighting of Willow Creek if funding is available. 2 Packet Page 73 of 234 Significant Activities since April 22, 2009 • April, May, June and July, 2009 – City staff have been meeting with representatives from BNSF, Sound Transit, Community Transit, Washington State Department of Transportation, and Washington State Ferries to discuss and review plans, and coordinate construction schedules related to Sound Transit Edmonds Commuter Rail Station, BNSF second rail line, and City of Edmonds Lift Stations 7 and 8. • April, May, June and July, 2009 – Scott Snyder and I continue to work with Sound Transit staff on an interlocal development agreement for Edmonds Station. • April, 2009 – Sound Transit Sounder North monthly ridership reached 24,793, up from 23,197 in April of 2008. Average weekday ridership for the month of March was 1,059, an increase of 7% from an average weekday ridership of 987 in March of 2008 • June 4, 2009 – Sound Transit Finance Committee approved an amendment to a KPFF contract. KPFF is now authorized to revise Edmonds Station design plans in order to incorporate elements needed to implement the 2002 Edmonds Commuter Rail Station plan. III. SOUND TRANSIT 2 Expanding the regional mass transit system Sound Transit 2 will provide regional express bus and commuter rail service while building 36 additional miles of light rail to form a 55-mile regional system. For additional information, visit http://soundtransit.org/ Significant Activities Since April 22, 2009 • April, May, June and July, 2009 – No new information at this time. IV. UNOCAL AKA CHEVRON SITE CLEANUP Project Description The UNOCAL property currently consists of a lower yard which currently contains petroleum contamination resulting from more than 60 years of operation. Chevron, which acquired UNOCAL, is now the entity responsible for cleaning up the site. Cleanup work at the lower yard, which began in 2007, is a continuation of remediation work that has been ongoing at the site since 2001. Chevron conducted the following work from summer 2007 through fall 2008: • Excavated soil with metals contamination exceeding Washington State Department of Ecology standards in order to protect against direct contact with the soil (such as ingestion) and impacts to the groundwater. • Excavated soil with petroleum contamination exceeding safe levels for direct contact. Excavation of this soil was for protection of groundwater and surface water. • Excavated contaminated sediment in Willow Creek, on the northern edge of the site. 3 Packet Page 74 of 234 The primary excavation work at the lower yard (including the Willow Creek area) was complete by September 2008. Over 140,000 tons of contaminated soil and 9,000 gallons of petroleum product have been removed from the site. The lower yard site has been re-graded and reseeded. The Willow Creek area has been re-planted with native vegetation. Significant Activities since April 22, 2009 • April, May, June and July, 2009 – Monitoring of the site continues. V. EDMONDS PUBLIC FACILITIES DISTRICT Overview The City Council, pursuant to state law, approved the formation of the Public Facilities District (PFD) at its April 24, 2001 meeting. A PFD is a separate municipal corporation that has authority to undertake the design, construction, operation, promotion and financing of a Regional Center in the city. The Public Facilities District board consists of five members originally appointed by the City Council on June 19, 2001. Phase 1A renovation of the original Edmonds High School Auditorium into a first class Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA) and multipurpose facility was completed in September of 2006. Significant Activities Since April 22, 2009 • July 20, 2009 – Edmonds Center for the Arts announced availability of season three tickets. VI. SNOHOMISH COUNTY PAINE FIELD Overview On July 14, 2004, a Mead & Hunt Inc. Business Travel Survey was issued which focused on the market potential and options for Paine Field. On August 20, 2004, a Snohomish County Citizen Cabinet issued an Economic Development Final Report -Blueprint for the Economic Future of Snohomish County. Both reports put Paine Field in the regional spotlight as they highlight the possibility of using Paine Field for commercial aircraft operations, thus changing its general aviation status. Significant Activities Since April 22, 2009 • April, May, June and July 2009 – No new information at this time. VII. RAILROAD QUIET ZONE Overview As discussed on a few occasions, there is an expressed desire of the City Council and Port of Edmonds to establish a full or partial quite zone along the City's shoreline. A quiet zone is a section of rail line that contains one or more consecutive public crossings at which locomotive horns are not routinely sounded. Significant Activities Since April 22, 2009 • April, May, June and July, 2009 – No new information at this time. 4 Packet Page 75 of 234 VIII. WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES – FINANCING LEGISLATION Overview As mentioned in past Quarterly Reports, during the 2007 legislative session, the Legislature passed Engrossed Substitute House Bill (ESHB) 2358 - “the Ferry Bill” - and an associated biennial transportation budget ESHB 1094. Each piece of legislation contains specific policy and operational directives to assess the efficiency and costs related to how Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)/Washington State Ferries (WSF) provides service. The results of the studies conducted to address the legislation are intended to derive strategies for how WSDOT/WSF operates in the future. The legislation identifies specific topics for study and requires new levels of cooperation and collaboration among the Legislature (through the Joint Transportation Committee (JTC) and the new JTC Ferry Policy Subcommittee), the Washington State Transportation Commission (WSTC), and WSDOT/WSF. These directives follow the December 2006 JTC Ferry Financing Study (also referred to as Ferry Financing Phase 1) and are next steps in the process of developing a policy framework to address the long-term sustainability of WSDOT/WSF. An overall approach to the Technical Work Program is to treat the Legislative directives and initiatives as a single work program and design an organizational approach that accomplishes two major objectives, (1) effectively deliver the work plan elements in a timely manner and (2) engage external stakeholders throughout this program for an objective outcome. The WSF internal staffing structure for the Ferry Bill Work Program has three components: o WSF Ferry Finance Workgroup has responsibility for the entire WSDOT/WSF program. o WSF Technical Working Teams are defined for each major work element. The work groups have line responsibility for individual work plan elements and report to the WSF Ferry Finance Workgroup. One WSF Ferry Finance Workgroup member serves as team lead for each of the work teams. o WSF Technical Coordination Team: The work team leads are responsible to ensure the integration of work teams analysis and outcomes. Significant Activities Since April 22, 2009 • May 26, 2009 – Assistant Secretary David Moseley attended the Edmonds City Council meeting and presented information on the outcome of the most recent legislative session and next steps for Washington State Ferries. He also mentioned that WSF is interested in continuing working with the City of Edmonds and Sound Transit on Edmonds Crossing minimum build alternatives, albeit funding is now focused on maintenance, preservation and building new ferries. He spoke specifically about the legislated vehicle reservations pre-design report and the strong likelihood that Edmonds/Kingston may be the first route to pilot new vehicle reservations technology, if approved by the Legislature in 2010. He also mentioned that WSF has been meeting with the owner of the Skippers property and also with the City of Edmonds staff about potential public private partnerships. 5 Packet Page 76 of 234 • June 30, 2009 - Final Washington State Ferries Long-Range Plan released. The Final Plan presents a vision for the future of the WSF system. Consistent with legislative direction, it maintains current levels of service with limited improvements (as new vessels are acquired to replace retiring vessels) and the state’s role as principal owner and operator of the marine transportation system. The plan presents a service and capital investment strategy that seeks to balance service goals and long-term funding requirements. The link http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/NR/rdonlyres/41834A0B-DABC-48FA-9700- DF0298AA65B4/58554/FinalLRPCompleteDocument1.pdf connects to a PDF version of the plan. Edmonds/Kingston Ferry Route Partnership Meeting – Reservation System Pre- Design Study The Edmonds/Kingston ferry route has been selected by Washington State Ferries (WSF) to study the possibility of establishing a vehicle reservation pilot program. Edmonds/Kingston was selected because it met certain selection criteria, including technical capability, diverse customer/ridership base, customer benefit, and community traffic concerns. The Washington State Legislature asked WSF to conduct a feasibility study for the reservation system and to look at how it might be implemented on the Edmonds/Kingston route, if funded by the State Legislature. This partnership group is part of a larger effort to complete a legislated vehicle reservations pre-design report due to the Legislature before 2010 session. In response to the request, WSF formed a community partnership committee composed of 17 individuals from both sides of the route representing varied interests including business and tourism; counties, cities and ports; commuters and weekend vehicle travelers; Ferry Advisory Committees and regional planning organizations. WSF will consult the community partnership on how to adapt a vehicle reservations system to the specific characteristics of the Edmonds/Kingston route. The community partnership group will meet a minimum of four times during the development of a pre-design report, and the meetings will be open to the public. Significant Activities Since April 22, 2009 • July 15, 2009 – The newly formed Edmonds/Kingston Partnership Group met for the first time in the Edmonds City Hall Brackett Meeting Room. The second meeting will be held on August 19, 2009. NOTE: I participate on the partnership committee and will attend monthly meetings on behalf of the City of Edmonds. Meetings will be held in Edmonds and Kingston on an alternating basis. VIII. CITY OF EDMONDS / COMCAST FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Overview On July 14, 2008, the City of Edmonds received a letter dated October 22, 2008 from Stan Finley, Comcast Director of Franchising and Government Affairs (Exhibit 2) regarding renewal of the existing franchise agreement. While Comcast is asking to reach a mutually satisfactorily agreement through an informal negotiation process pursuant to Section 626 of the 1984 Cable Act, the second paragraph of the Comcast letter also states “to preserve our 6 Packet Page 77 of 234 statutory rights to this formal procedure, this letter is our official notice to you invoking that provision.” With a record of successfully negotiating Verizon franchise agreements, several members of the North Puget Sound Consortium wish to form a new Consortium for the purposes of negotiating franchise agreements with Comcast. Jurisdictions which have been invited to participate include: Snohomish County, the Cities of Bothell, Carnation, Edmonds, Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, Mercer Island, Shoreline, Woodinville, and the Town of Woodway. Benefits of a coordinated effort include: ensuring that the public receives the maximum rights and benefits from their respective franchise agreements; better coordination of negotiations with Comcast; sharing the costs of negotiations including hiring a national consultant and attorneys to assure the citizens of each jurisdiction that their franchise is competitive, both locally and nationally; and creating a common template and negotiation strategy through the assistance of a national consultant and attorneys to maximize leverage during the negotiations. Significant Activities Since April 22, 2009 • April, May, June and July, 2009 – The North Puget Sound Consortium representatives continue to work on a draft franchise agreement template. IX. FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS ACQUISITION OF VERIZON Overview On May 13, 2009, Verizon announced plans to divest its local wireline communications system to Frontier Communications.

Items of Interest ƒ American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Significant Activities Since April 22, 2009 City’s capital maintenance overlay program o March, 2009 – The City of Edmonds was successful in securing $1M of federal stimulus money for the City’s capital maintenance overlay program. The overlay project is anticipated to begin in late summer 2009. A total of $14.9M of federal stimulus funding for transportation improvements was distributed to Snohomish County agencies in March. The regional selection criteria were based on project readiness and how quickly the projects could begin construction. This funding will provide a much-needed temporary financial resource for the overlay program. It’s important to note that the stimulus funds will not contribute toward balancing the City’s general fund. Due to lack of revenue, the City currently has no funds budgeted in 2009 and 2010 for the citywide overlay program. o July, 2009 – The City of Edmonds is currently preparing bid documents related to the capital maintenance overlay program referenced above. The City will be opening bids on August 5, 2009. Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) o March 26, 2009 – Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced plans to invest $3.2 billion in energy efficiency and conservation projects in U.S. cities, counties, states, territories, and Native American tribes. The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program, funded by President Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, will provide formula grants for projects that reduce total energy use and fossil fuel emissions, and improve energy efficiency nationwide. The City of Edmonds received notification that it is eligible for a $160,200 block grant under the EECBG program. The City has until June 25, 2009 to submit an application, i.e., "claim" the grant amount, and 18 months to obligate and three years to expend the 10 Packet Page 81 of 234 funds. This is an entitlement grant for cities over 35,000 in population, rather than a competitive grant. City staff conducted several meetings to discuss possible projects or programs that might be eligible for this type of funding and have developed a preliminary list; these projects are considered short term. City staff also participated in a DOE webcast to learn about application submittal procedures and how the funds can be used. In addition to the above, I contacted other entities such as the Port of Edmonds, Puget Sound Energy, Snohomish County PUD, Edmonds School District and Stevens Hospital, to find out whether they might have projects which are small in scale but could be included in our grant application under a partnership proposal. We are not looking to expend the grant money on a single project, and we have already identified more than enough City of Edmonds projects to expend all of the grant money (several times over). I requested representatives from these entities to share whether they have a project that (1) would have benefits for the entire community, (2) could be small enough in terms of cost to fit within an overall multi-project application, and (3) would have measurable, identifiable results. Examples of projects we are considering include energy-efficient equipment retrofits, vehicle replacement, traffic signal timing, energy code training and information programs, and software that can turn off electronic equipment during late night non-working hours. The second reason I contact these entities is to explore opportunities for partnering on projects that may go beyond the funding available in this first round of block grants. US-DOE has indicated that there will be a "competitive round" of grants available, although details have not been established. We believe that grant applications emphasizing partnering on a community or regional level will be what DOE is looking for, especially those that have long-term effects and can serve as "demonstration projects" for others to access. o June 24, 2009. The City of Edmonds submitted the formal application (Form SF424) to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) which references six planned purchases, should the City receive grant approval by DOE. Based on discussions between department representatives, City staff are looking to use EECBG funds for several purposes. In weighing options on how to spend the funds, City staff considered ways to reduce the consumption of energy, e.g., electricity, natural gas and/or gasoline, in addition to reducing the production of green house gas emissions. City staff also feels it is important to reach out to our residential and business community to offer a way to help them monitor their energy consumption, establish a public information/education plan, and coordinate with utility providers. NOTE: Announcement of the EECBG opportunity was shared with, and the attached proposed project list was also reviewed by, the Mayor’s Climate Protection Committee. ƒ Community Transit SWIFT Project 11 Packet Page 82 of 234 12 Significant Activities Since April 22, 2009 o April, May, June and July, 2009 – Concrete foundations have been poured for the three Edmonds Community Transit SWIFT stations. Swift is scheduled to begin operation in November, 2009. Packet Page 83 of 234 AM-2415 2.G. Supplemental Agreements for Utilities Upgrades - BNSF Double Track Project Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:07/28/2009 Submitted By:Conni Curtis, Engineering Submitted For:Robert English Time:Consent Department:Engineering Type:Action Review Committee: Committee Action: Information Subject Title Authorization for Mayor to sign Supplemental Agreements 2 and 3 with KPFF Consulting Engineers, Inc. for Underground Utilities Upgrades with respect to the BNSF Double Track Project. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Council authorize the Mayor to sign Supplemental Agreements 2 and 3 with KPFF Consulting Engineers, Inc. for Underground Utilities Upgrades with respect to the BNSF Double Track Project. Previous Council Action On June 17, 2008, Council authorized the Mayor to sign a professional services agreement with KPFF Consulting Engineers, Inc. for design services for replacement and/or encasement of existing underground utilities that will be affected by construction of the BNSF second main track project. On November 18, 2008, Council authorized the Mayor to sign Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to the agreement for the Underground Utilities Upgrade Portion of the BNSF Double Track Project. Narrative In June 2008, the City entered into a contract with KPFF to design the improvements to the City’s utility crossings within the BNSF right of way for the future second track along the waterfront. The utility crossings are being improved to withstand the additional weight imposed by the second track. During the design phase, several items have been identified and need to be addressed which are beyond the consultant’s original scope of work. The existing watermain at Brackett’s Landing North Park is being replaced due to its age. A new watermain is being added in James Street between Sunset Avenue and Railroad Street to improve the water system and fire flow service. Both watermains are being added to the project since they are in close proximity to the utility crossings at Main and Dayton Streets. The pavement on Dayton Street between Railroad Avenue and Sunset Avenue is in poor condition and in need of replacement. During a recent sanitary sewer improvement project, it was Packet Page 84 of 234 determined that the existing pavement section in Dayton Street is inadequate for the current traffic loading. To correct this problem, the existing pavement section will be removed and replaced with a new section that will support the traffic loads. The extra design work for the watermain work and reconstruction of Dayton Street are covered in Supplemental Agreement #2. Additional design work covered in Supplemental Agreements #2 and #3 include provisions to address contaminated soils, extension of a storm drain pipe at Main St, preparation of a BNSF permit application, and miscellaneous revisions to the contract plans and specifications The additional design fees are $30,368 for Supplemental Agreement #2 and $5,674 for Supplemental Agreement #3. The project costs are being funded by the Combined 412 Utility Fund.

Proposed Ordinance - Plastic Bag Reduction Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:07/28/2009 Submitted By:Jana Spellman, City Council Submitted For:Councilmember Strom Peterson Time:60 Minutes Department:City Council Type:Action Review Committee: Committee Action: Information Subject Title Final Action: Proposed Ordinance adopting Chapter 6.80, Plastic Bag Reduction, in the Edmonds City Code to promote the use of recyclable paper and/or reusable checkout bags by retail stores located in the city, providing penalties for violations, and fixing a time when the same shall become effective. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Previous Council Action During the April 7, 2009 Council Meeting, the Council considered the possibility of banning plastic bags in retail, commercial outlets in Edmonds and reviewed a Resolution submitted by Councilmember Strom Peterson for discussion. Following review and discussion, Councilmember Peterson moved, seconded by Council President Wilson, to adopt the resolution. Council President Wilson moved, seconded by Councilmember Wambolt, to amend the "Resolved" paragraph of the resolution to read: Now therefore be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Edmonds directs staff to prepare an ordinance banning the use of single-use plastic checkout bags and encouraging the use of reusable shopping bags for future Council and community consideration." The amendment passed unanimously. The vote on the main motion as amended passed unanimously. The Council referred this issue to the Community/Development Services Committee for review. Attachment 1: 4/7/2009 Council Meeting Minutes. The Community/Development Services Committee met on April 14, 2009. During that meeting, Bio Park from the City Attorney’s office was present for the discussion. Bio informed the Committee that the City Attorney’s office is conducting research on how other cities have approached adopting and implementing a ban on plastic bags. The intent is to develop options for Edmonds to consider based on this research, including examples of “unintended consequences” that other jurisdictions may have experienced. Options discussed by the Committee to consider would be a broad ban on plastic bags as well as a narrowly tailored ban targeting such businesses Packet Page 102 of 234 as groceries and retailers. Pros and cons for each potential ban option should be presented and discussed. ACTION: City Attorney’s office to develop options for a ban on plastic bags and present these for discussion by the Committee at its next meeting in May. Attachment 2: 4/14/2009 CS/DS Committee Meeting Minutes Council President Wilson put this item on the April 28 Council agenda to give the public a chance to comment on the ordinance regarding plastic bags that is coming before the Council in May, 2009. Attachment 3: 4/28/2009 Council Minutes During the CS/DS Committee Meeting of 5/12/09, a discussion on a proposal to ban single use plastic checkout bags in Edmonds ensued. Bio Park from the City Attorney’s Office reviewed three draft ordinances that were prepared as options for the City Council to consider, based on approaches taken in other cities – primarily in California. The “Retail Draft” ordinance would apply to all retail establishments, requiring that a merchant supply recyclable paper or reusable bags instead of single-use plastic bags. The “Groceries Draft” would apply the ban to all food stores (i.e. not all retailers), while the “Hybrid Draft” would apply the ban to large supermarkets with other retailers only needing to provide a paper/recyclable option for customers. All three draft ordinances would have some common features, such as an “operative date” when the ordinance went into effect (to allow inventory reduction and adjustment by merchants to the ban) and a standard of enforcement via the City’s code enforcement procedures. Each ordinance would also authorize the Mayor to grant exemptions during the first year of the ban in order to allow the Council to consider permanent exemptions, if merited. ACTION: The Committee voted to forward the three draft ordinances to the full Council for discussion as part of the May 19th agenda. Attachment 4: 5/12/2009 CS/DS Committee Meeting Minutes Attachment 5: Memorandum from Bio F. Park Attachment 6: Draft Ordinance - Retail Attachment 7: Draft Ordinance - Groceries Attachment 8: Draft Ordinance - Hybrid During the May 19, 2009 Council meeting the Council held a work session regarding an ordinance banning single-use plastic checkout bags in Edmonds. The Council reviewed the 3 Draft Ordinances prepared by Bio Park. Councilmember Bernheim advised he proposed an ordinance that would institute a fee on plastic bags as an alternative to a ban. Mayor Pro Tem Wilson suggested that option be included in the Council packet for the public hearing. Mayor Pro Tem D.J. Wilson advised that the next steps were to hold a Public Hearing on June 2, 2009 regarding the options and the SEPA process. Attachment 9: 5/19/09 Council Minutes. Attachment 10: Bernheim Ordinance On June 2, 2009 the Edmonds City Council held a public hearing on an Ordinance reducing use of single use plastic checkout bags in Edmonds. Councilmember Peterson moved, seconded by Packet Page 103 of 234 Councilmember Orvis to adopt the draft retail ordinance. An amendment was added (passed unanimously) to section 6.80.020 of the draft retail ordinance adding: “THE CITY OF EDMONDS SHALL WORK WITH RETAILERS, RETAIL ASSOCIATIONS, UNIONS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO CREATE EDUCATIONAL ELEMENTS ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF REUSABLE BAGS. THIS MAY INCLUDE SIGNAGE AT STORE LOCATIONS AND INFORMATION LITERATURE AND EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND WILL TAKE PLACE BEFORE AND AFTER THE OPERATIVE DATE." Councilmembers Orvis, Plunkett, Peterson, and Olson voted in favor of adopting the draft retail ordinance. Councilmember Wambolt and Council President Wilson were opposed. Attachment 11: 6/2/09 Council Minutes. Narrative This proposed ordinance now comes before the City Council for final action. Attachment 14 includes the current ordinance draft, reflecting the recent SEPA determination issued by the City (no appeals of the SEPA determination have been received).

Previous Council Action Council reviewed the Park Naming Policy (attachment) March 17, 2009 and adopted the policy March 24, 2009. Narrative With the adoption of the Park Naming Policy by City Council on March 24 of this year the Planning Board was charged with recommending park names for new parks developed in Edmonds. The first park to be named under this policy will be the new park in south Edmonds at the former Woodway Elementary School site. Parks & Recreation staff assisted the Planning Board by advertising and gathering proposals for park names through placing the entry forms (attachment) in City buildings and on the City website, Channel 21, public service announcements to local newspapers, and large signs and boxes with entry forms at the new park site. This opportunity was available for five weeks with a closing date of May 29. A total of 88 names (attachment)were submitted by the deadline and forwarded to the Planning Board for their consideration. A 3-person Planning Board sub-committee was established to review all of the proposed names and bring recommendations to the full Planning Board public hearing on July 8, 2009. During the public portion of the hearing seven citizens spoke. In addition, 16 letters were received (attachment) and included in the Planning Board packets in advance of the hearing. Following Board discussion, the following recommendation was made: BOARD MEMBER CLARKE MOVED THE PLANNING BOARD RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL ADOPTION THE PERMANENT NAME OF HICKMAN PARK, FOR THE NEW PARK LOCATED AT THE SITE OF THE OLD WOODWAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND THE PLAY AREA LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST Packet Page 189 of 234 PORTION OF THE PARK BE NAMED J.P.

BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT Michael Bowman, Chair Philip Lovell, Vice Chair John Reed Cary Guenther Kevin Clarke Valerie Stewart BOARD MEMBERS ABSENT Jim Young (excused) Judith Works (excused) STAFF PRESENT Rob Chave, Planning Division Manager Brian McIntosh, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director Renee McRae, Recreational Manager Debbie Dawson, Animal Control Officer Carl Nelson, Chief Information Officer Karin Noyes, Recorder READING/APPROVAL OF MINUTES BOARD MEMBER REED MOVED THAT THE MINUTES OF JUNE 24, 2009 BE APPROVED AS AMENDED. VICE CHAIR LOVELL SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. ANNOUNCEMENT OF AGENDA A question and answer period with Debbie Dawson, Animal Control Officer, was added to the agenda as Item 5a. The remainder of the agenda was accepted as presented. AUDIENCE COMMENTS There was no one in the audience to address the Board during this portion of the meeting. DISCUSSION WITH ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER REGARDING PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE EDMONDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE (ECDC) TO ALLOW THE KEEPING OF DOMESTIC FEMALE FOWL IN SINGLE-FAMILY ZONES (FILE NUMBER AMD-09-7 Mr. Chave reminded the Board of their previous discussion regarding a proposed amendment that would allow property owners in single-family residential zones to keep up to three hens. He advised that at the request of the Board, Debbie Dawson, Animal Control Officer, was present to speak with them about whether or not the existing animal control regulations would adequately address all potential issues related to the proposed change. Packet Page 198 of 234 Ms. Dawson explained that the current regulations provide the City the ability to address situations where animals run at large, as well as situations related to noise and smell. She said she does not believe that keeping hens would result in any significant noise problems, but problems could arise as a result of hens being allowed to run at large. She noted that just last month an animal control officer spent more than an hour trying to run down four chickens, and housing stray chickens is problematic, as well. At this time, the City contracts with an outside agency to provide housing for stray dogs and cats. While they also have a coop, they are not really set up to house chickens. There would also be issues with what to do with chickens that are not claimed. While the City has been able to place all their stray dogs and cats, she is not sure this would be possible with farm animals. She also noted that while it is easy to pick up dog and cat matter to keep a property free of odor, it is more difficult to keep chicken areas clean. She noted that the zoning code does address the issue of coop location. Board Member Reed inquired if the current regulations make any distinction regarding coop size and whether or not it is covered. Mr. Chave answered that the current regulations do not speak to these two issues, but they do talk about where coops can be located relative to property lines. He said he would suspect that in most situations, owners would provide some type of covered shelter for their hens. He summarized that regulations related to how animals are kept are located in Chapter 5 of the Edmonds Municipal Code, and regulations pertaining to use are located in the Edmonds Community Development Code. Ms. Dawson added that the current regulations require that animals be kept appropriate for the climate and weather. She suggested that perhaps the regulations could be amended to require that hens be put away at night. Board Member Stewart inquired if the current regulations provide any guidelines specifically related to the care of chickens. Ms. Dawson answered that there are none, but she said she has written tickets for loose chickens. Chair Bowman asked Ms. Dawson to identify any particular problems that have come up related to chickens that the Board should be aware of. Ms. Dawson pointed out that keeping chickens is becoming a popular use in single-family zones. However, it is important to remember that Edmonds is a City, and she is not sure that every property owner who wants to have urban chickens has really thought about how they would care for them. Chair Bowman asked Ms. Dawson to share recent situations that have come up related to chickens. Ms. Dawson replied that four situations came up just in the last month, and two the month before. Chair Bowman inquired if the City has received any complaints from property owners about their neighbors keeping chickens. Ms. Dawson answered that they have received complaints. Because many of the chickens are not registered as required by the zoning code, the animal control officers have encouraged property owners to cease the use. Ms. Dawson explained that there are only 8 to 12 property owners in the City of Edmonds who are legally allowed to keep chickens, and the chickens must be registered. Mr. Chave further explained that when the City code was changed to prohibit the keeping of chickens, a grandfather provision was included that allowed people who were keeping chickens to register their chickens and continue the use into the future. Ms. Dawson emphasized that some property owners are keeping chickens without registering them because the provision is not applicable to their situation. Mr. Chave reminded the Board that the City Council has requested they consider whether or not it is appropriate for the City to allow property owners in single-family zones to keep up to three hens. This use is not currently allowed unless property owners registered their chickens during that brief period of time several years ago. Vice Chair Lovell recalled that when the Board last discussion the proposed amendment, their main concern was where the description and criteria related to the use would be located in the City’s current codes and regulations. Mr. Chave advised that there is no language specific to chickens in the current code; only provisions that deal with animals in general. If the proposed amendment is adopted to allow the keeping of up to three hens, animal control would use the existing general provisions to regulate the use based on situations related to noise, smell, etc. He further explained that, currently, if a complaint is issued regarding the actual use, the situation would be addressed by the City’s code enforcement officer because chickens are not allowed in the City in most situations. However, if the chickens are legally registered, the animal control officers would be responsible for addressing complaints and problems. If the zoning code is changed to allow up to three hens in single-family zones, any situations that come up as a result of the allowed use would be addressed by an animal control officer rather than the code enforcement officer. DRAFT Planning Board Minutes July 8, 2009 Page 2 Packet Page 199 of 234 Board Member Stewart requested that Ms. Dawson provide suggestions about what might be included in the Edmonds Municipal Code to address future concerns. Ms. Dawson agreed to review the existing language to see if anything needs to be added specific for chickens. Board Member Clarke inquired who would be responsible for amending the animal control regulations. Mr. Chave explained that proposed amendments to Chapter 5.05 of the Edmonds Municipal Code would be put forth by the Police Department, with some discussion with Planning Department Staff to ensure consistency between the Edmonds Municipal Code and the Edmonds Community Development Code. He noted that amendments to the Edmonds Municipal Code could go directly to the City Council for a public hearing and final decision. He explained that the City Council referred the proposed amendment to the Planning Board for review because it is a zoning issue. The Board would not be required to make a recommendation related to animal control aspects. However, they could do so because of the direct relationship between the two. Vice Chair Lovell suggested the Board could recommend approval of the proposed ordinance, with the provision that staff research guidelines related to the care of chickens and propose appropriate amendments to Section 5.05 of the Edmonds Municipal Code. Mr. Chave reminded the Board that they have not conducted a public hearing on the proposed amendment. He suggested the Board allow staff time to review Section 5.05 and recommend appropriate changes. While the Board would not be required to conduct a hearing on proposed changes to Section 5.05, they could be advertised as part of the proposed zoning code amendments. Board Member Stewart pointed out that the City of Seattle recently amended their code to allow chickens in single-family zones. She suggested staff review their newly adopted language for additional guidance. Mr. Chave agreed that staff would update the draft ordinance and present it to the Board at a future meeting along with additional research as to what might be appropriate to supplement the existing animal control regulations. PUBLIC HEARING ON EDMONDS PLANNING BOARD’S PROCESS AND NAMING RECOMMENDATION FOR THE NEW PARK IN SOUTH EDMONDS Mr. McIntosh reviewed that through a Park Naming Policy adopted by the City Council on March 24, 2009, the Planning Board was charged with recommending park names for new parks developed in Edmonds. The first park to be named in the City under the new policy is located at the site of the Old Woodway Elementary School in south Edmonds. The park is scheduled to open in July and an opening ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 8. With the help of the Parks and Recreation staff, naming proposals were solicited throughout the City and 88 names were submitted for consideration by the Planning Board. A subcommittee of the Planning Board was established to examine all the names, and they selected a short list of 12 names and recommended three names to present and discuss during a public hearing before the Planning Board. He noted that if the Board forwards a recommendation to the City Council at the end of the public hearing, the City Council would have an opportunity to review the recommendation and make a final decision on July 21st. This would allow plenty of time for staff to prepare a plaque prior to the opening ceremony on August 8th. Board Member Reed observed that while the adopted Park Naming Policy does not require the City Council to hold an additional hearing before making their final decision, they certainly have the option of doing so. Cheryl Clark, Edmonds, said she lives in the southwest part of Edmonds, and she thanked the City for purchasing the school property for a beautiful park. She also thanked the Parks Department for taking into consideration the suggestions provided by citizens who live in the area. She expressed thanks to the Engineering Department for working with the property owners to address flood issues that have existed since the neighborhood was annexed into Edmonds in 1995. It is anticipated that the infiltration system that was installed underneath the new park would resolve the problem. Ms. Clark asked that the Board recommend to the City Council that the new park be named after Dr. Robert O. Hickman, who has dedicated much of his life to the Edmonds Community. He has been a caregiver and mentor to her family for many years, as well as to many other families in the community. When he developed the Hickman Catheter, it was intended to help people who needed medical treatment have a better quality of life and not for fame or monetary gain. He never applied for a patent or received any money for it. DRAFT Planning Board Minutes July 8, 2009 Page 3 Packet Page 200 of 234 Ms. Clark said that many people in the community do not even realize that Dr. Hickman and his wife, Lucille have lived in the area for many years. They probably would not recognize him as a man who has done so much for others. Now he continues to serve others and exemplifies in quiet ways the joy and satisfaction that can come from serving others. She said it has been a privilege for her family to know Dr. Hickman and his wife. They have continued their ongoing contribution to the community, and he is not even aware that his name ahs been submitted as a possible name for the new park. Naming the park after Dr. Hickman would be a wonderful legacy for the many gifts he and his wife have given the community. Allen Doman, Edmonds, asked that the Planning Board recommend naming the new park after an individual rather than a geographic or other concept. He noted that of the three names that have been put forth by the subcommittee, only one is after an individual. He recommended the park be named Hickman Park. He noted that a lot of public information about Dr. Hickman and his career can be found in his University of Washington Alumnus Profile. He said he knows Dr. Hickman as a man, father, citizen, friend and long-time member of the community. He noted that Dr. Hickman raised his family just a few blocks from the new park location, and he has devoted 1,000’s of hours to volunteer community service; sometimes as a worker in the trenches, but often with heavy leadership responsibilities. He twice served as a bishop in his church congregation, and he was an ecclesiastical leader for a large church group in Snohomish County for nearly 10 years. Later, he served abroad in church activities in Haiti, and he also served at the BYU Center in Jerusalem. Mr. Doman said that over 30 years ago, Dr. Hickman was the attending physician when his son passed away, and he provided professional and human therapy to him and his family. A few years later, one of his own children passed away, so he knows what others feel and experience. He has made and continues to make countless visits to friends who are ill. Last year when his wife was seriously ill, Dr. Hickman made an unsolicited visit to the hospital. As he entered the ICU and walked to where his wife was being treated, doctors and nurses recognized and acknowledged him with great regard and respect. He has humbly told people that they had to call the catheter something so they named it after him because they didn’t think it would work. Mr. Doman summarized that he would like the City of Edmonds to recognize the accomplishments and service of Dr. Hickman by naming the park after him. Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, said he was heavily involved in the siting for a much bigger park than the one that was actually constructed. He suggested that a good name for the much smaller park would be “no adult park.” He pointed out that while the previous speakers had many good things to say about Dr. Hickman, it is important to note that he actually lives in Woodway and never lived in Edmonds. Therefore, his name is not as significant in this situation as someone else who has or does live in Edmonds. He suggested the park be named Petso Park, after Lora Petso, who has been more active than anyone else in the community in trying to save the whole park. She is a great lady who is still active in the City. Naming the park after her would be appropriate to recognize her effort to save the park for the citizens. Alvin Rutledge, Edmonds, expressed his opinion that all 88 of the nominations should be recognized and forwarded to the City Council for consideration rather than just the three names recommended by the subcommittee. He observed that the significant number of nominations shows how much citizen interest in the park there is. Colin Southcote-Want, Edmonds, said he was disappointed to see the three names recommended by the subcommittee: South Edmonds Community Park, Cherry Blossom Park, and Hickman Park. He felt the subcommittee’s recommendation showed very little imagination, and none of the proposed names provide a sense for where the park is located. While the first two speakers provided emotional presentations in favor of naming the park after Dr. Hickman, he was surprised to find out that Dr. Hickman has never lived in Edmonds. While the nomination for “Hickman Park” included a great right up on Dr. Hickman, it carefully avoided mentioning the fact that he doesn’t live in Edmonds. This information should have been made available up front. Mr. Southcote-Want recalled that a year ago the Seattle area received a new professional soccer team, and the new owners proposed three potential new names, which did not include “Sounders.” When they put the names out for a vote, over 50% of those who participated in the vote wrote in the name “Sounders.” The owners listened to the people who voted. He expressed his belief that the list provided by staff did not do justice to the citizen nominations. He distributed a separate copy of the various names that were nominated. He observed that 34 of the nominations were for names associated with the Robin Hood Theme, 16 of the nominations were for names associated with other local themes, and 11 were associated with DRAFT Planning Board Minutes July 8, 2009 Page 4 Packet Page 201 of 234 park features. Nearly 50% of the people who submitted nominations wanted a Robin Hood Themed name, and he urged the Board to listen to the people. Mr. Southcote-Want observed that the neighborhood immediately to the north of the new park is named Sherwood Village, and there are a number of street names throughout the area that are related to the Robin Hood Theme. People feel very strongly that a Robin Hood Theme would be most appropriate for the new park. He noted that only one of the nominations referred to “Southwest Community Park, and only three made reference to the cherry tree or cherry blossoms. He suggested that if the Board does not recommend a name that is related to the Robin Hood Theme, they would be ignoring what the people have asked for. Rob Trahms, Edmonds, said he is excited about the new park, and he congratulated the Parks Department on their efforts. They did a fantastic job of soliciting input and designing the park. He also recognized the efforts of Ed MacLeod of MacLeod Reckford Architects who was instrumental in the park design. While he would have preferred an 11-acre park, the 5.5 acre park is good the way it has been designed and developed. He said he was disappointed in the three names recommended by the subcommittee. None of the proposed names recognize how the park came about and the enormous amount of citizen involvement that took place. While he does not have any suggestions for what the name should be, he observed that a large percentage of the nominations were related to the Robin Hood Theme. He said his only concern is that the park not be named Sherwood Park, since it would be easily confused with Sherwood Elementary School. He encouraged the Board to find a way to recognize citizen involvement. He summarized that if it had not been for outpouring of community involvement to work countless hours with the City and school district, the project would not likely have moved forward. It is important to recognize that good things can happen when citizens get involved. Jan Robertson, Edmonds, praised Brian McIntosh and the remainder of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department staff. The successful neighborhood meetings allowed the neighbors an opportunity to voice their concerns and desires for the Park, and City staff listened and made themselves available to answer their questions. For many years the City has been criticized because it appeared their emphasis was on the bowl area, and this new park is a beautiful addition to South Edmonds. THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THE HEARING WAS CLOSED. Board Member Clarke expressed appreciation for the public’s participation. He observed that those who have reviewed the list of 88 nominations will realize that a number of the names associated with the Sherwood or Robin Hood Theme were submitted without any justification as to why they would be appropriate for the new park. Five or six of the nominations were grouped together and appeared as though someone was trying to “stuff” the ballot box to create random names associated with Sherwood. He said he attended Woodway Elementary School, as well as other schools in the area, while he lived in the Lake Ballinger area. Board Member Clarke agreed that Sherwood Forest has a name recognition in the community, but the most recently named institutions in that area all have the name “Woodway.” For example, Woodway Elementary School was created in the 1950’s, and Woodway High School in 1969. When Woodway Elementary was closed when two other schools were constructed, people petitioned the Edmonds School District to rename the SnoLine Elementary School to Woodway Elementary School. People who lived in the area prior to 1995 when it was annexed into the City of Edmonds have often stated that while their address is in Edmonds, they do not live in Edmonds. He took offense that people who claim they don’t live in Edmonds now want to participate in the process of naming the new park. He encouraged the citizens to carefully review the Park Naming Policy and its associated criteria. He noted that one of the criteria specifically states that while serving in public office, public officials should not be considered candidates for park names. He noted that Lora Petso has served on the City Council and she has announced plans to run again. Board Member Clarke suggested it would be difficult to choose between the numerous nominations that were related to the Sherwood theme. For example, Robin Hood Lanes is located in Westgate and Friar Tuck Restaurant is in the bowling alley. However, neither of them are in the Sherwood Neighborhood. He suggested Firdale Village is as much identified with this area as Sherwood Forest, and so is Forest Glen. There is a huge population of neighborhoods with these types of names, and for this reason, he felt it would be best to name the park after a concept of service and an individual who lives in the area. DRAFT Planning Board Minutes July 8, 2009 Page 5 Packet Page 202 of 234 He noted that Dr. Hickman’s address is Edmonds, Washington, and when he tells people where he lives, it is in Edmonds. His children attended school at Woodway Elementary and Dr. Hickman and his wife, Lucille, were co-presidents of the PTA for a while. Board Member Clarke observed that people in the cancer or kidney community know and revere the name Hickman without even knowing Dr. Hickman. The Hickman Catheter is a life-saving, quality-of-life medical device, and the spirit behind it has been well recognized. He noted the many letters of support the Board received for naming the park after Dr. Hickman, yet there were few letters in support of the other nominations. While he appreciates the citizen comments, he noted that many of them did not address the criteria outlined in the Park Naming Policy, which are very specific and provide opportunities to name parks after events and individuals. There is nothing in the criteria that says the individual must live in Edmonds. He specifically noted that Criteria F states that the quality of the contribution should be considered along with the length of service and that the person making the recommendation should fully substantiate the individual’s contribution. He reviewed that Dr. and Mrs. Hickman are in their 80’s, and they have been proved and tempered throughout their life. He does not think Dr. Hickman’s name would ever bring tarnish to the park, the citizens or the community. Board Member Stewart thanked the citizens for participating in the hearing. She noted that the Board is new to the responsibility of participating in the park naming process. She said she does not live in the neighborhood adjacent to the park, so she does not understand the dynamics associated with the park. She recalled the subcommittee struggled with the names of all of the surrounding neighborhoods and wanted to be fair. They suggested the name “South Edmonds Community Park because it seemed to reflect the community, which is what the park is really about. The subcommittee considered the fact that there were a lot of Robin Hood Themed names, but there was a consensus that it may not be a good idea for another themed name, particularly because of the history related to political correctness. She said she appreciates Board Member Clarke’s comments and observations from living in the area for a long time. Board Member Reed explained that when the subcommittee met to review the list of names and narrow it down to three, they also discussed the idea of recommending some type of plaque to recognize the community group that worked so hard to get the park established. He noted that one suggested name was J.P. Patches. Although the subcommittee ultimately decided not to recommend that name for the park, as a whole, they felt it would be appropriate to place a plaque or sign in the children’s play area to acknowledge his contribution to children. They also discussed the contributions of Police Chief David Stern, and they suggested the City consider recognizing him in connection with the public safety complex. He noted that South Edmonds Community Park was not one of the nominated names, but South East Family Park was. The subcommittee felt “family” would too narrowly define what the use of the park would be, so they created the name South Edmonds Community Park. The subcommittee also discussed that Cherry Blossom Park could be an appropriate name given the substantial community effort to save the large cherry tree on the park site. Board Member Reed agreed with Board Member Clarke that Hickman Park would be an appropriate name for the park, and it doesn’t really matter whether or not Dr. Hickman lives in Edmonds. BOARD MEMBER CLARKE MOVED THE PLANNING BOARD RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL ADOPTION THE PERMANENT PARK NAME OF HICKMAN PARK, FOR THE NEW PARK LOCATED AT THE SITE OF THE OLD WOODWAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND THE PLAY AREA LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST PORTION OF THE PARK BE NAMED J.P. PATCHES PLAY AREA. BOARD MEMBER GUENTHER SECONDED THE MOTION. Board Member Clarke recalled that J. P. Patches was the Grand Marshall for the Edmonds 4th of July Parade this past year. He noted that Mr. Patches has been recognized throughout the United States for his creative children’s program that began in 1958 on KIRO Television. The show was on the air until 1981. Mr. Patches lived in unincorporated Snohomish County south of the park, and he always called Edmonds is home. However, he didn’t become a resident of Edmonds until 1995 when his neighborhood was annexed. He still works in the community, and he particularly loves Children’s Hospital. He has been a public servant who has dedicated his life to making others smile. He encouraged the Board Members to visit his website to learn more about his life. He was recognized by the City of Seattle as the Man of the Year and in the Fremont Community with a statue. He suggested it would be appropriate that the play area, which is designed to bring joy and laughter to families, be named after J.P. Patches in recognition of his life of service. DRAFT Planning Board Minutes July 8, 2009 Page 6 Packet Page 203 of 234 Board Member Reed suggested it would also be appropriate to forward a copy of the subcommittee’s email memorandum in which they narrowed the list of 88 nominations down to 12 and then recommended three for the Board’s consideration. The memorandum also provided additional comments such as a plaque to recognize the community for their significant contribution, naming the children’s play area after J.P. Patches, and recognizing Police Chief David Stern in connection with the public safety complex. BOARD MEMBER REED MOVED THAT THE MOTION BE AMENDED TO ALSO FORWARD THE ENTIRE LIST OF NOMINATIONS AND THE EMAIL MEMORANDUM FROM THE SUBCOMITTEE DATED JUNE 24, 2009, TO THE CITY COUNCIL. BOARD MEMBER STEWART SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION TO AMEND THE MAIN MOTION WAS APPROVED 5-0-1, WITH VICE CHAIR LOVELL ABSTAINING. THE MAIN MOTION WAS APPROVED AS AMENDED BY A VOTE OF 5-0-1, WITH VICE CHAIR LOVELL ABSTAINING. SUSTAINABILITY DISCUSSION: CITY FIBER OPTIC OPPORTUNITIES Carl Nelson, Chief Information Officer, advised that he has participated on the Community Technology Advisory Committee (CTAC) for the past two years, and they have had frequent discussions regarding the City’s future vision for fiber optics. He advised that he recently made a presentation to the Washington Association of Telecommunications Regulators regarding his effort to work with Snohomish County and neighboring cities to purchase fiber optic cable to connect cities with Snohomish County and each other. He advised that the ability to connect intergovernmental agencies could be revenue positive for the City of Edmonds. He explained that until ten years ago, the City had the ability to resell telecommunications capabilities, but the legislature inadvertently eliminated this option. The City is currently seeking the court’s opinion on the City’s ability to resell telecommunications capability in areas where the City currently has excess capacity, and the case would be heard sometime in August. He noted that several others cities are also interested in the outcome of the case. He advised that the City has purchased and/or been given fiber optic assets that run from the ferry terminal to Highway 99, south to the County Line and to the Westin Building in downtown Seattle. These assets could have an enormous economic value to the City, depending on the court’s determination. Chair Bowman explained that as part of the Board’s discussion regarding sustainability, they are interested in learning more about economically viable ways to generate more revenue for the City. He asked if the City’s current fiber optic assets would allow them to attract high tech companies. Vice Chair Lovell reminded the Board that the City Council has asked them to undertake a study and make a formal report in December that includes some specific suggestions and strategies to increase the City’s revenue base and improve their long-term economic viability. He invited Mr. Nelson to provide a written document that explains and underscores in clear terms the benefits of the programs he is working to implement. The document should clearly identify the benefits to the tax payers and the City’s economy. It should also provide information about how citizens and businesses can learn more about the City’s fiber optic assets and their associated costs. Board Member Reed requested more information about the potential benefits and expenses to the City if they prevail in the court case. Mr. Nelson answered that the City has hired a consultant to work out the numbers, and the City’s goal is to leverage their fiber optic assets to their best advantage. In addition, he said he would continue to explore options for several cities in Snohomish County to connect with the County’s network room. Chair Bowman suggested that Mr. Nelson report back to the Board after the court has issued a decision. He said the Board would be interested in learning more about other cities that are in a similar position to leverage fiber optic opportunities as a profit center. He emphasized that the Board has the dual task of addressing both environmental and economic sustainability. He suggested that fiber optics could be one venue that provides a low carbon footprint, but a high return on the City’s investment. Mr. Nelson pointed out that other entities in the area (ports, school districts, etc.) have this same type of capability. It is important to get the pipe opened between the various entities so that trades and exchanges can occur. He summarized that the City’s current fiber optic capability is not being fully utilized because of existing legislation, and DRAFT Planning Board Minutes July 8, 2009 Page 7 Packet Page 204 of 234 changes are needed to open these opportunities. However, he emphasized that capacity has increased dramatically over the past five years. Board Member Stewart asked if it is the City’s desire to own the fiber optic pipe. Mr. Nelson said it is important that the City own at least some portion of the pipe. Board Member Stewart observed that the City is spending a lot of money on a court case that many other jurisdictions would benefit from. Mr. Nelson agreed. He noted that Seattle and Bellevue have offered to help pay for an appeal, but the case would not go beyond the scope of the City unless it is challenged in the State Supreme Court. Board Member Stewart stressed the importance of keeping track of all the expenses involved in the court case. It will be important to show the citizens of Edmonds the return on their dollar to explore these options. She said she hopes the return will be substantial enough to really help the City’s current financial situation. Mr. Nelson said he foresees a significant benefit to the City in obtaining the capability to resell telecommunications capabilities. The City currently has excess capacity that could be used to generate revenue. He emphasized that intergovernmental cooperation provides an opportunity to avoid some of the costs the City would otherwise incur. SUSTAINABILITY DISCUSSION: MEETING WITH COMMUNITY TRANSIT ON THEIR PLANNING, OPERATIONS AND PRIORITIES Roland Behee, Supervisor for Strategic Planning, Community Transit, indicated he was present to provide information about Community Transit’s (CT) new rapid transit (SWIFT) program on Highway 99. He distributed a map showing the service that is currently offered throughout the City of Edmonds. He noted that, at this time, ¼ mile is the commonly accepted distance that a person is willing to walk to access bus service. He observed that CT currently offers a significant amount of bus service along Highway 99, with connections to the Edmonds Ferry Terminal, downtown Edmonds and other areas of the community. Mr. Behee reported that CT is in the final stage of implementing the rapid transit program (SWIFT), and they have conducted numerous public outreach meetings in the community. In addition, they have worked with City staff regarding station locations and names. The SWIFT program would provide a 17-mile long connection between Everett and the Aurora Transit Station in Shoreline, with 24 stations (12 northbound and 12 southbound). The program would utilize the infrastructure investments that already exist along the corridor to provide rapid, frequent, bi-directional service at 10-minute frequencies throughout the majority of the day. The program would provide new 60-foot articulated vehicles, and CT is currently in the process of commissioning the new vehicles and getting them ready for service in the fall. Mr. Behee provided a drawing to illustrate the design of the new stations and noted that a new station is currently being developed at the intersection of 196th Street and Highway 99. It will include a 10-inch elevated curb, which will provide for nearly level boarding. The stations would provide protection from the weather and outdoor fair collection machines in addition to the smart card readers. Vice Chair Lovell noted that the shelter design identifies a glass roof with a reversed slope and drainage to the center to collect rain water. He observed that it is likely people would toss items onto the roof, and they would become stuck in the gutters. He asked how CT plans to resolve this problem. Mr. Behee answered that the stations would be maintained on a daily basis by CT’s internal facilities crew. Chair Bowman asked if the stations would be handicapped assessable. Mr. Behee replied that the pavement would be marked to show customers with mobility devices where they need to be when the buses stops. The same is true for bicycles. He emphasized that the new stations would provide for much faster loading. Mr. Behee reviewed that the SWIFT Project is anticipated to cost approximately $32 million, which equates to about $1.91 million per mile. In contrast, a rail program would cost between $200 to 250 million per mile to construct. He noted the project is fully funded by a mixture of local, state and federal dollars. CT would begin testing, training and public outreach programs in the summer of 2009, and they anticipate starting the service in November of 2009. Mr. Behee referred to the Transit Competitive Index that was prepared by the Puget Sound Regional Council to project regional transit demand for the four county region. As opposed to the I-5 market, which has a strong intercounty peak period market, the Highway 99 market is much more diverse and reflective of the large residential community and mixture of uses DRAFT Planning Board Minutes July 8, 2009 Page 8 Packet Page 205 of 234 that exist. People travel all day long along the corridor for a mixture of purposes, and a strong market is contained within the Everett market and a southern market comprised of Edmonds, Shoreline and Lynnwood. During the peak periods of time there is strong demand, but the overall pattern during the day is strong to serve the mixture of uses. Chair Bowman asked how many bus changes would be required if a person were traveling from Everett or north Edmonds to downtown Seattle. Mr. Behee said it would be possible to get from Everett to downtown Seattle using two or three buses, depending on the time of day and final destination. Mr. Behee referred to a 2008 survey that was conducted to establish a baseline for the origin and destination of people riding buses on Highway 99. He noted that a similar survey would be conducted in 2013 to evaluate the change. He noted that, at this time, there is a real diversity of travel taking place throughout the day on Highway 99. The majority of people using the service on the corridor are walking from their places of residence to catch the bus; it is not really a park and ride market. Mr. Behee said modeling predicts that ridership would increase 25% in the first year (2010) and 50% by the fourth year (2013). Modeling also predicts that vehicle miles traveled would be reduced 3.2 million in the first year and 7 million by the fourth year. Chair Bowman inquired if the existing buses on Highway 99 are running at capacity. Mr. Behee said the buses carried approximately 12 million people in 2008. If every seat were filled on every trip, the number would be much larger. Chair Bowman asked if there is significant capacity for additional growth. Mr. Behee replied that while there is additional capacity on an all-day basis, there is very little additional capacity during peak travel times. Many of the runs to King County during peak hours are full and have standing room only. He observed that ridership increased dramatically when gas prices peaked. He explained that their programs are typically designed to meet peak demand, and he acknowledged there is still capacity to grow on many of the local routes. Board Member Reed requested more information about CT’s plan to reduce vehicle miles traveled. Mr. Behee advised that CT has been working with the City of Edmonds Transportation staff to develop a 20-year long-range vision for major corridors such as Highway 99, as well as other primary arterial networks in the City. Future transit emphasis would focus on these areas. They are working to identify future markets for service and are coordinating with the Washington Department of Transportation and local jurisdictions to focus land use and density in certain areas where adequate infrastructure is available to accommodate additional bus service. He noted that 196th Street is a transit-emphasis corridor, and CT is researching opportunities for providing rapid transit service at some point in the future. However, this would be a joint partnership decision between the local jurisdictions and CT. He emphasized that now is the time to start talking about land use planning and preparing the market for this eventuality. He reviewed that the current long-range plan provides the following policy direction: • Service design guidelines should link transit performance and development practices. • Guidelines should suggest that corridors/areas that best incorporate transit-oriented community design practices will best support service and service improvement. • Guidelines should not necessary imply that lower performing corridors will have no service, but priority for new services will be given to areas with the greatest transit trip production. • Guidelines should emphasis efficient and sustainable service in corridors that produce the most transit ridership. • Community Transit does not want to assume a regulatory role in land use/development actions but wants to work with and support their partner’s regulatory efforts. Next, Mr. Behee reviewed the draft service design guidelines for the bus rapid transit corridor/station area development as follows: • About 7,540 persons and jobs within ½ mile of the stations (about 15 persons/jobs per acre). • Encourage mixed use with a balance of jobs and housing (including low income). • Work to establish parking market and encourage people to get out of their cars. Consider options for no minimum parking requirement and design parking to be behind or next to businesses rather than in front so pedestrians can get off buses and directly access businesses. DRAFT Planning Board Minutes July 8, 2009 Page 9 Packet Page 206 of 234 • Provide a complete pedestrian network, particularly through development from residential areas behind frontage, and separation from vehicles. • Prioritize infrastructure improvements and use existing business access transit lanes, transit signal priority, access consolidation, etc. to allow priority access for buses through the congestion. Mr. Behee advised that the southern terminal at the Aurora Transit Station would provide crossing platforms once Metro’s rapid transit program has been implemented. There would be a common island that allows people to switch from CT to Metro. In addition, CT has supported the City of Shoreline’s recommendation that Metro consider moving the transit center to a more central location. From an economic development and ridership perspective, CT believes the station would be better placed near commercial activity or mixed-use development. Board Member Stewart recalled that at a previous presentation before the City Council, CT mentioned how easy it would be for bikers to board the SWIFT buses. She emphasized the importance of also considering how bikers can better access the bus stations. Mr. Behee said he is a daily bicycle commuter so the SWIFT buses will become his rainy day option. Board Member Stewart said she is excited about the SWIFT Program and if they can tie it in with development along the corridor it would be a win/win situation. Board Member Clarke recalled Mr. Behee’s earlier statement that CT does not want to assume a regulatory role in land use and development actions. However, he asked if CT would recommend higher density multi-family residential zones along major transportation corridors in Edmonds such as 76th Avenue West. Mr. Behee observed that local service is currently provided on 76th Avenue West, and it would provide a good connection to the SWIFT service on Highway 99. However, it has not been identified as a regional transit emphasis corridor. The route would be a local level corridor that would certainly benefit from an increase in density if that was the desire of the City. Community Transit has been very upfront in providing much more individual communication about this type of development on the transit emphasis corridors where they anticipate potential bus rapid transit service at some point in the future. However, he does not want to create the impression that 76th Avenue West would be a good location for a rapid transit corridor. Board Member Clarke referred to Greenwood Avenue in Seattle and Shoreline and observed that over the past 10 to 20 years the arterial has changed in land use, zoning, building height, and density. Now there is a lot of mixed-use condominium development and many commuters use public transportation. He asked Mr. Behee if there are any areas in Edmonds where this type of evolution could occur if land use and zoning was different. Mr. Behee answered that he does not foresee a rapid transit program on any other streets in Edmonds in the near future beyond Highway 99 and 196th Street. He noted that CT has not provided a connection between 196th Street and the Edmonds Ferry Terminal, and they have left it up to the City to make this decision. The route that connects 196th to the northeast portion of downtown Edmonds would also be a candidate for more intense development. Another corridor that has possibilities is SR 104 coming from the south, which is more of a peak period commuter corridor rather than all day bi-directional service. He emphasized there is a great opportunity for City staff to work with CT staff to identify opportunities for greater density. Mr. Chave suggested Mr. Behee elaborate on his earlier statement regarding the ¼ mile service radius. Mr. Behee explained that ¼ mile is the generally accepted distance that a person is willing to walk to get to a bus stop. About 50% to 60% of riders have indicated they would be willing to walk ¼ mile, and only 20% to 30% indicated they would be willing to walk 1/3 mile to reach a bus stop. Not very many people indicated their willingness to walk ½ mile to reach a bus stop, but the survey also indicated that frequency and reliability of the service would increase the distance people would be willing to walk. People are typically willing to walk further to get to a service that is more frequent and dependable. Because the SWIFT Program would provide a faster and more reliable service, it would also provide a better sense of place and security for the customers. Community Transit anticipates there would be reasonable redevelopment potential within a ½ mile radius of a rapid transit station. Chair Bowman invited Mr. Behee to email any data he has on how many gallons of fuel would be saved by taking public transit. Mr. Behee said he could also provide information related to carbon footprint, etc. Mr. Chave requested further documentation on the ¼ versus ½ mile radius.

It would also include an update on the code rewrite project and the Highway 99 Task Force would be present to provide an update on their recent efforts. The Board agreed to schedule a special work session, perhaps on August 19th or 26th to continue their sustainability discussion. Chair Bowman agreed to email Board Members to identify a specific date for the work session. PLANNING BOARD CHAIR COMMENTS Chair Bowman announced that he would be participating in the STP bike ride again this year. PLANNING BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS Board Member Guenther explained that his project in White Salmon is getting to the point where he doesn’t have to spend all day Wednesday on site. Therefore, he is able to return early enough to attend the Board meetings. He said he was glad the Board recommended that the new park be named after Dr. Hickman. He expressed his belief that recognizing people for their public service is an appropriate thing to do.

The renaming of parks is strongly discouraged. Policy The naming of City parks, park areas and park facilities shall be the function of the City Council with assistance from Edmonds Planning Board and the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department. Diversity, balance and creativity will be sought during adoption of names. The name selected for a site will be recommended to the Edmonds City Council for approval or amendment. City Council has final authority to approve or amend any recommendation. Objectives A. Provide name identification for individual parks, park areas or park facilities. B. Provide criteria for the process of naming parks, park areas or park facilities. C. Provide opportunities for public input including a public hearing at Planning Board. D. Ensure that the naming of parks, park areas, or park facilities is controlled by the Edmonds City Council through recommendations from the Planning Boarding.. Criteria The naming of parks, park areas, and park facilities should be approached with caution, patience, and deliberation. Names submitted for consideration should provide some form of individual identity in relation to the following: A. The geographic location of the facility; this includes descriptive names. B. An outstanding feature of the facility. C. An adjoining subdivision, street, school, or natural feature. No park shall be given the same name as an existing school site or public facility, except where the sites abut one another. Packet Page 232 of 234 D. A commonly recognized historical event, group, organization or individual (living or deceased). E. An individual or organization that contributed significantly to the acquisition or development of the facility to be named. This can include either a deed or substantial monetary contribution, or contribution toward acquisition and/or development of the park or park facility (typically not less than 50 percent of the value of the property or improvements). F. Outstanding accomplishments by an individual for the good of the community. Quality of the contribution should be considered along with the length of service by the individual – this to be fully substantiated by person making recommendation. G. Any individual who provided an exceptional service in the interest of the park system as a whole. Typically, while serving in a public office, public officials should not be considered as a candidate for naming. Donated Land Parks and park facilities that are donated to the City can be named by deed restriction by the donor (i.e. Hutt Park in Edmonds). The naming and acceptance of land is subject to recommendation by the Planning Board and approval by City Council. Naming rights are not guaranteed if the donation of parkland is a dedication as required by the subdivision ordinance (parkland dedication). Naming Process Parks Department staff will notify the Planning Board about proposed naming opportunities. The recommendation of the Planning Board will be subject to final approval or amendment by City Council action. 1. Temporary Naming In the case of a new project, a temporary name will be designated by the City staff for identification during acquisition and/or development of the park area or park facility. Because temporary designations tend to be retained, the naming process for a new park should be carried out as quickly as possible after its acquisition or development. 2. Permanent Naming Citizen involvement in the naming process is encouraged and may be accomplished in a variety of ways throughout the naming process. A. Individuals, groups and/or organizations interested in proposing a name for an existing un-named park area or park facility may do so in writing Packet Page 233 of 234 using a “Park Naming Form” that outlines the naming criteria. These will be presented to the Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services Department for consideration by the Planning Board. B. A variety of means to encourage public participation to submit a name (citizen contests, recommendations from previous owners, historical review of the site, etc.) may be implemented by the Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services Department at the request of the Planning Board. The “Park Naming Form” will be available through the City website, copies available at City Hall and the Anderson Center, and publicity through Public Service Announcements, Channel 21, and other means. C. The Planning Board will conduct a public hearing on the proposed names.. D. The Planning Board will make a naming recommendation to the City Council for final adoption or amendment. 3. Park Renaming Critical examination will be conducted to ensure that renaming the park will not diminish the original justification for the name or the prior contributors. Renaming will follow the same procedures as naming the park. A. Only parks and facilities named for geographic location, outstanding feature or subdivision should be considered for renaming. Parks that have been named by deed restriction shall not be considered for renaming. B. Parks and facilities named after individuals shall not be changed unless it is found that because of the individual’s character the continued use of their name would not be in the best interest of the community.
