City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 11/25/2024
Boys & Girls Club Building Design - Second Review
Staff Lead: Angie Feser
Department: Parks, Recreation & Human Services
Preparer: Angie Feser
Background/History
The City of Edmonds and the Boys & Girls Club of Snohomish County (BGCSC) have a Ground Lease
Agreement (Attachment #4) which allows for construction of a new facility in the allocated 12,000
square foot area within Civic Center Playfield Park. This agreement, approved in February 2023, requires
the City Council's review and approval of the proposed building design at two different development
phases. The first one, including a Public Hearing was completed July 2023. This is the second review of
the developing building design and an opportunity for BGCSC to share their responses to the council's
previous design concerns, questions and suggestions ensuring they were adequately addressed.
Attached are the updated design drawings including elevations (Attachment #1) and BGCSC’s details
responses to the 2023 Council’s comments (Attachment #2).
As per the lease agreement, if there are any significant design changes to the building, it requires review
and approval by the city council.
New Feature
One new design element is being proposed located outside the BGCSC’s allocated footprint and is within
the park. It is a short concrete stairway which allows building users to better access Civic Park. An
illustration (Attachment #3) is attached showing the proposed stairs. There is an existing Snohomish PUD
easement on which the stairs would be built and city staff is requiring written approval from Snohomish
PUD as a condition to build the stairs. If Council supports this small renovation of the park, it will be
formalized later, along with other park impacts during the future construction of the new building, in an
agreement between the City and BGCSC.
It is important to note this is only a review of the aesthetics and design of the building as it relates to
Civic Center Playfield Park and surrounding area and not a part of the required formal building permit
process.
Representatives from BGCSC will be present during the meeting to answer questions and provide
additional information.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the Council approve the second review of the Boys & Girls Club building as proposed.
Narrative
The Boys and Girls Club of Snohomish County has occupied the Field House since 1968 with an initial
arrangement with the Edmonds School District. Although the property was not purchased by the City of
Edmonds until 2016, the City had a property lease with the School District starting in 1975 for the entire

park site including the Field House. In 2010, the City and BGCSC entered into a five (5) year Building Use
Agreement for the Club's use of the Field House. This agreement included a five (5) year extension
clause which was executed in both 2015 and 2020.

EDMONDS BOYS & GIRLS CLUB
Council Meeting Summary from June 20, 2023, and July 05, 2023
This is a summary of responses to each of the Council members’ requests and questions
associated with the Schematic Design review meetings conducted on the dates above. An
outline of responses from the Boys & Girls and the design team is also incorporated.
The project was presented to the council by Bill Tsoukalas (Executive Director – Boys & Girls
Clubs of Snohomish County) and Adam Clark (Architect and Owner of 2812 architecture).
Council member requests and responses associated with the June 20 meeting are as
follows:
Councilmember Nand
• Why there were no ground level windows on the north side of the building?
Response: The gym is located on the north side of the building. Windows are
located up high on this façade to provide natural light. Ground level windows
would prevent a safety hazard to users of the gymnasium.
• Edmonds’ downtown historic business district, she has seen new buildings replacing old
buildings; the style people in Edmonds enjoy is the charming red brick façade like the
Carnegie Library. If the design is not completely tied to the brown brick, she suggested
red brick may be a way to incorporate design elements of the previous building in the
new building. Edmonds does a good job with historic, interpretive signs on buildings that
have replaced historic buildings explaining to the public what was there before. That
could be done to provide historical acknowledgement and design elements. People are
used to seeing a large red brick building here; using red brick on the new building could
make it look less brutalist and more vintage looking.
Response: The existing club is indeed red, but it is not a brick building. We did
consider brick in the overall design. The natural colors proposed for the CMU and
other exterior elements are intended to help tie the building into the surrounding
park and complement the surrounding neighborhood. We do hope to utilize some
of the existing gym floor in the new club, which will provide a nod to the history.
Interpretive signs and other elements related to the history of the site are also
being planned to be incorporated into the overall project.
Council President Pro Tem Olson
• Passed on a comment emailed by a resident regarding whether retaining the façade
would be an option and building beyond it. She recalled the façade would not be in same
plane it was currently. Council President Pro Tem Olson recognized that suggestion may
be impractical, but there are people with comments about the historical reference.

Response: The existing building is in a different plane as noted above. It is also a
wood framed building that is over 100 years old. To revitalize the existing
structure would be as costly as building a new building due to the various
upgrades required (seismic, energy, life safety etc.). The existing building is also
not large enough to serve the current needs of the Boys & Girls Club as well as a
new building.
• She noted in the west facing rendering does not reflect the garage doors shown in the
elevation drawings. She asked if that was because the garage doors were the result of a
recent suggestion.
Response: The doors were added as an element requested by one of the council
members. They do provide windows at street level as suggested in the city
design standards and are shown in the current renderings. We are currently
looking at other ways to meet the design standards.
• Recalled when that suggestion was made at a committee meeting, she loved the
indoor/outdoor feel and opportunity to have the doors open. Now she wondered if the
garage doors created a security issue with kids being able to run out onto the sidewalk.
She asked if the doors were a good idea since the doors do not face the park and the
area is not fenced.
Response: In the existing building, kids are inside and outside but always
supervised. If the doors were up, there would be adequate staffing to ensure kids
were not wandering off and/or individuals did not wander in from the street. See
response above regarding the doors.
Councilmember Paine
• Referred to the building exceeding the height limit and asked if the gym could be
countersunk into the ground, so height was not an issue.
Response: The building height has been reduced to 30’ (25’ is the height limit in
this zoning designation) Countersinking the building is a possibility, but there are
serious ground water issues in the park which was why the gym is proposed to
be at sidewalk level.
• Asked if the building was on the Edmonds historic registry or has it just existed for 100
years.
Response: It is an iconic building, but it is not on the registry.
• Solar panels are essential, not so much design but as an implementation feature; they
are good for the environment and the community and would set a good example.
Response: Solar panels are planned to be incorporated into the project.
• When will the facility be completed?
Response: Construction will take 10 -12 months. Construction will start after the
permit process is completed which is anticipated to occur in Spring of 2026. The
facility has to go through design review and a conditional use hearing prior to
applying for building permits. These two processes are anticipated to be
completed by Spring of 2025. Once completed, we will submit for building
permits with the anticipation of being approved in the Spring of 2026.
• Asked if the plan is to have the building at the edge of the property line and how wide the
sidewalk would be.
Response: The sidewalk width will remain unchanged from its current width. The
club portion of the building will be up to the property line, the gym is set back
about two feet.

• The HPC looked at designating the BGC building as historic, but it did not qualify
because it has been extensively remodeled. It is not historic from that standpoint
although it is treasured in the community. With regard to a question Council President
Pro Tem Olson asked via email, he asked if having the western wall of the building at the
edge of the sidewalk would comply with the lot coverage restrictions. He recalled a
certain amount of impervious surface was allowed and asked if allowing the west wall to
be at the edge of the sidewalk within the existing setback would still meet the lot
coverage requirements.
Response: (Ms. Fesler) The northwest corner is exempt from grant requirements
related to imperious surface which is why the tennis, pétanque and basketball
courts and the BGC are in that corner.
Councilmember Buckshnis
• She liked the idea of utilizing the old façade, recalling discussions about putting
something on the north wall facing the park such as a living wall.
Response: The north wall is a perfect place to dress up the building; the five
panels could include scenes, images of the original building, etc. The Boys &
Girls Club is open to adding art or historical displays on this side of the building.
Councilmember Chen
• Commented that the new Boys & Girls Club has been a long time coming and it was
exciting to see something happening. He asked if the building will have community
meeting space for use by other nonprofits.
Response: The space will be available for use outside the BGC’s hours; the
ground floor is an open floor plan which could provide an opportunity for groups
to hold meetings and there are restrooms and a kitchen on that floor. The gym
will also be available for public use outside of times when B & G programs are
being conducted.
• Observed the building appears to be a brick structure and asked if the design would be
earthquake resistant.
Response: The CMU block is a façade on the outside of the structure; the main
structure will be wood framing with steel cross-bracing. The building will be
required to meet all code-related seismic regulations.
Council member requests and responses associated with the July 05 meeting are as
follows:
Council President Pro Tem Olson
• COUNCIL PRESIDENT PRO TEM OLSON MOVED, SECONDED BY
COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL, TO APPROVE THE DESIGN AS IT RELATES TO THE
PARK WITH CAVEATS, POINTING OUT DISCREPANCIES WITH THE EDMONDS
CIVIC PARK PLAYFIELD DESIGN GUIDELINES ON PAGE 3, SECTION 1, MASSING
AND ARTICULATION, AND SECTION 5, ROOFLINE AND ROOF MOUNTED
EQUIPMENT.
Identified at least two caveats and possibly other council members could add to the lists
of caveats; there are items in the Civic Field Park Playfield Design Guidelines that this
design does not meet. She was unsure the original author of the design guidelines, and
if the ADB, staff or planning board via the public hearing process decided to deviate from
the design guidelines, she would not personally take offense, but she did not support
council approving a design that does not meet elements of the design guidelines. Her
motion to approve the design as it relates to the park with those two specific caveats

where it does not meet design guidelines allows the BGC to continue to move forward
and gives a heads up to the entities that receive this approval that those are two specific
areas the council highlighted.
Response: The Design Review Board will review compliance with the Civic Field
Park Playfield Design Guidelines. The overall design requires the approval of the
board.
• Commented an indoor graffiti wall was a good, creative solution as was a meditation
space. She suggested the pétanque courts, when not in use, would be a good place for
meditation. With regard to having this level of design reviewed by the ADB, she
wondered if the ADB would be willing to have an informal conversation to provide early
input to the BGC which could help expedite later stages. She summarized that might be
of value if staff could make it happen.
Response: The design team and B & G are open to early dialogue with the DRB,
but we have not yet had an opportunity to do this.
Councilmember Paine
• Commented her children attended the BGC and she agreed it was difficult to reach the
upper floor. The building has been well loved by the community and has served its
purpose. She appreciated that the building would be LEED which guarantees some
sustainability of materials, etc., which was very appropriate. She liked the idea of
collaborating with the ECA to have artwork on both buildings that pulls them together
visually. In her mind, solar panels were a giant plus. She agreed compliance with the
current code was paramount. Building height is an area of focus and she agreed the
guidelines do need to be followed. She summarized it was an exciting project that will be
refined by other processes.
Response: The Design Review Board will review compliance with the Civic Field
Park Playfield Design Guidelines. The overall design requires the approval of the
board.
• Referred to the Civic Park Design Guidelines that were referenced and asked if they
were guidelines or requirements. Ms. Feser answered they are guidelines, strong
suggestions, ideas, concepts or practices that were envisioned to help the building fit
aesthetically into the park. The guidelines were developed by Walker Macy during the
park master planning process to create guardrails for the BGC if their building was
renovated or rebuilt to help the structure fit within the park. Mr. Tsoukalas commented
that the guidelines and the design were not developed in parallel timeframes. When
Walker Macy was going through the design phase, the BGC was still contemplating
whether they would stay at Civic Park. If the guidelines and the BGC design had been
developed on simultaneous timelines, the guidelines may have been different.
Response: The Design Review Board will review compliance with the Civic Field
Park Playfield Design Guidelines. The overall design requires the approval of the
board.
Councilmember Buckshnis
• Commented on the Civic Field Park Playfield Design Guidelines were developed in 2018
when there was not a clear idea of the BGC's plans so she understood why Walker
Macy was very conservative in the design guidelines document. With regard to height,
she referred to the variance process such as was granted for the Waterfront Center. She
agreed the guidelines were important, but the gym could not be 2’ feet short. She
referred to a citizen’s recommendation that this goes to the Architectural Design Board
(ADB).

Response: The Design Review Board will review compliance with the Civic Field
Park Playfield Design Guidelines. The overall design requires the approval of the
board. The building height issue will be addressed as part of the Conditional Use
Permit process. It should be noted that the minimum clear interior height for a
volleyball court is 23’. With structure and roof slope, the 25’ maximum zoning
code height will need to be exceeded in order to have a regulation height
gymnasium.
Councilmember Nand
• Thanked the BGC for incorporating the feedback from the public hearing and from the
city council. Noting there is a significant footprint on top of the gymnasium which may be
reduced by the placement of solar panels, she asked if there was an opportunity for
rooftop access such as a meditation space, community garden, etc. With activities
geared toward children, there is an understanding that behavioral issues can be
addressed by children having access to a calming environment and places to de-
stimulate themselves. She asked if that could be incorporated into this design or would it
be too challenging.
Response: The option for a green roof was considered, but the utilization of solar
is more important to stakeholders. Allowing people on the rooftop presents
additional challenges because two exits would be required as well as elevator
access to the roof which would extend the building height an additional 8-10 feet.
There is also a safety concern with human use of the roof.
Councilmember Chen
• Recalled the graffiti in the $22M Civic Park and asked how that could be prevented on
this building coupled with keeping kids safe. He suggested the addition of a fence or
other ways to protect the building and also keep kids safe. He thanked the BGC for
listening to the public comments about solar panels and agreed that would be a good
feature.
Response: Other BGC projects include an indoor graffiti wall where kids can
express themselves without damaging the building. Councilmember Chen was
hopeful those who were doing the graffiti would come inside and use the graffiti
wall. It was also suggested that adding a graffiti coating to the building to make it
easier to clean off. Fencing would reduce the overall square footage of the
building due to current site constraints.
Councilmember Teitzel
• Commented looking from the west, it appears the roof is entirely flat. Councilmember
Teitzel relayed his understanding the BGC will be asking for a 5-foot variance to
accommodate the height of the gym. He asked about additional height if solar panels are
added to the roof.
Response: The roof is sloped behind the parapet to drain water to the north and
south. There is a parapet that varies in height between 8” and 24” that surrounds
the gym portion of the roof. Solar panels will add an additional 12”-18” above the
roof surface. They would be screened by the parapet. It should be noted that the
minimum clear interior height for a volleyball court is 23’. With structure and roof
slope, the 25’ maximum zoning code height will need to be exceeded in order to
have a regulation height gymnasium.

Packet Pg. 47
CITY OF EDMONDS
2025-27 STATE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
Highway 99 Revitalization Project
Request: Maintain $22.5 million funding in the Move Ahead Washington package across 2025-
27 ($4.3M) and 2027-29 ($18.2M) biennia for Stage 3 of the SR 99 Revitalization Project.
The City of Edmonds places a high priority on both safety and social and environmental justice
throughout our community. The Highway 99 Corridor and its surrounding neighborhoods have
historically been under-served, with lower levels of parks and public spaces, community
gathering facilities, and safe, multimodal transportation improvements.
In tandem with continued community planning, the City will pursue multiphase transportation
improvements along the Corridor, costing upwards of $206 million, including accompanying
utility improvements. This significant public investment will also promote private investment
along the corridor, and bring needed jobs, affordable housing and services to an underserved
community of Edmonds.
Key 2025-27 Legislative Priorities
1. City Revenue Options: Support mechanisms to expand general revenue (e.g., lifting the
1% property tax cap, increasing REET share, and exploring state revenue-sharing).
2. Behavioral Health & Public Safety: Support co-responder programs, increase resources
to deal with domestic violence, and enhance behavioral health infrastructure
(practitioners and beds).
3. Indigent Defense Standards: Engage in discussions on defense standards, emphasizing
state funding for any cost increases.
4. Increase Housing Supply: Back measures that promote housing construction, and
explore new funding options for needs along the housing continuum, including home
ownership and senior housing.
5. Tax Increment Financing (TIF): Support TIF's viability.
6. Address the impacts of state environmental and housing legislation on cities: Promote
the creation of funding and programs which help cities to plan for, adapt to, and fund

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 11/25/2024
Update on Comprehensive Plan Process and Future Land Use Map
Staff Lead: Shane Hope
Department: Planning & Development
Preparer: Heather Lakefish
Background/History
State law requires cities and counties to review and update their comprehensive plans and development
regulations at least every few years. The next due date for Edmonds' comprehensive plan update is
December, 31, 2024. The Plan will include narrative, goals, policies, project lists, and maps, including a
future land use map.
Staff Recommendation
For Council to review and provide any questions or comments about the remaining Comprehensive Plan
process and the draft future land use map.
Narrative
The initial Draft Comprehensive Plan was published in early October, 2024, following about a two-year
period of initial ideas, research, and community engagement.
Since the draft Plan publication, more community input was invited and numerous public meetings of
the Planning Board and City Council were held to consider each draft Comprehensive Plan element.
On November 4, the City Council reviewed the recommendation of the Planning Board and chose a
Preferred Alternative approach for growth patterns, which would provide about half of the city's growth
capacity to be in the Highway 99 area and the Westgate area, with other capacity possible for small
neighborhood hubs and centers in various neighborhoods. A future land use map reflecting updated
information will be presented at the November 25 special meeting of the City Council.
Meanwhile, work is moving forward to revise the draft Comprehensive Plan, based on comments,
technical corrections, and updated information. Staff expects the revised version to be published
November 25 or 26. It will be reviewed by the Planning Board and any recommendations provided to
the City Council.
On December 3, the revised Draft Plan is expected to be ready for City Council review. This will be
followed by a public hearing on December 10. Adoption, with any changes, is scheduled to follow at the
December 17 City Council meeting.
The updated Comprehensive Plan is required by state law to be adopted by the end of this year.
Meeting state law is a prudent step. In addition, adoption of a comprehensive plan that complies with
5.4
Packet Pg. 51
state law keeps the city eligible for grants and loans.

Amendment to Proposed 2025-2026 Biennial Budget
City of Edmonds – City Council
Amendment Title: Creation of a New Fund to Support the 35-hour Workweek
Amendment Number: C-15(C)
Councilmember: CM Paine Date Submitted: 11/14/2024
Fund: GF 039 Agenda Packet: 11/19/2024
Department: Non Departmental Deliberated: Council staff will complete
Program: New Fund Outcome: Council staff will complete
Budget Year: 2025
Amendment Motion:
Motion to create a new, one-year nondepartmental fund to be called Project Completion Contingency
fund to support the city-wide process of moving to a 35-hour work week.
Amendment Description:
The creation of this new non departmental fund is to provide a supplementary funding source to
resolve incidental project completion funding needs related to the transition to a 35-hour work week
and other needs based on work force cuts in this budget. This fund would be managed by the
Administration based on their prioritization of needs.
The move to a 35-hour work week implementation will be very disruptive for work flow and transition
to an equal reduced work program and also a delay in services to be provided. The work hours
reduction must be joined with these 2 outcomes. One of the budget benefits of moving to a 35-hour
week includes that there are an additional 5 hours of potential work time before overtime would kick
in.
Amendment Purpose (intended outcomes):
• Provide a limited source of funds to complete projects which cannot be reasonably worked
into a 35-hour work week.
• Provide a limited source of funds for short projects where staffing has been reduced or
eliminated.
• Provide a limited use of funds which aren’t yet identified, but directly related to the
implementation of a 35-hour work week.
Describe All Funding Sources
GF - Budget savings with the movement to a 35-hour work week.
Describe Future on Ongoing Costs (Expenditure) or Savings (Reduction of Expenditure):
This is a one-year transition fund, from the date of the actual implementation of the 35-hour work
week, after all of the labor negotiations have been completed.

Amendment to Proposed 2025-2026 Biennial Budget
City of Edmonds – City Council
Amendment Title: 10% General Fund Labor/Benefits Expenditure Reduction
Amendment Number:
Councilmember: Michelle Dotsch Date Submitted: 11/14/2024
Fund: GF 001 Agenda Packet: 11/14/2024
Department: Numerous Deliberated: Council staff will complete
Program: Numerous Outcome: Council staff will complete
Budget Year: both 2025/2026
Amendment Motion:
I make a motion to reduce the General Fund labor/benefits expenditures by 10% for both 2025 and
2026.
Amendment Description:
This would amend the amount of funds allocated for salaries and benefits by 10%, reducing the
budget by $2.5M in 2025 and $2.69M in 2026. This amount was determined by considering the
strategic outlook general fund expenditures on page 20 of the budget book – showing 2025 labor
expenditures of $25,252,431 and 2026 labor expenditures of $26,915,095. The resulting amount may
need to be adjusted with consideration of overtime that is included in these expenditure figures.
This proposed amendment is in contrast and should be considered as an alternative to other
amendments contemplating a 32- or 35-hour work week. This amendment intentionally does not
specify staffing/programmatic reductions that would be necessary as a result of this amendment.
Rather, those reductions would be best determined by the administration.
These reductions could be a combination of eliminating positions (impacting both labor and benefits
expenditures) or reducing positions to a partial FTE (impacting only labor expenditure). This method
of eliminating or reducing positions is with more long-term intentions than a furlough or a reduced
work week, and indicates that our fiscal recovery will require more long-term strategies than this
biennium.
Amendment Purpose (intended outcomes):
• Reduces the overall budget by $2.5M in 2025 and $2.69M in 2026.
• Reduces the City’s workforce more intentionally for long-term fiscal recovery.
• Could enable Inter-fund loan amounts to be reduced and/or paid back more immediately.
• Could enable a levy-lid-lift amount to be lower, thus reducing the burden on taxpayers.
Describe All Funding Sources
General Fund
Describe Future on Ongoing Costs (Expenditure) or Savings (Reduction of Expenditure):
These expenditure reductions could be realized beyond 2025 and 2026 until the fiscal conditions
allow changes to the city workforce.

Staff Recommended Change to Proposed 2025-2026 Biennial Budget
City of Edmonds
Staff Recommendation Title: Correction to Street Fund IF Services charge
Staff Recommendation Number: 10
Staffmember Kim Dunscombe Date Submitted: 11/21/2024
Fund: Street Fund 111 Agenda Packet: 11/21/2024
Department: Street Department Deliberated: staff will complete
Program: Street Fleet Outcome: staff will complete
Budget Year: 2025 and 2026
Staff Recommendation:
I make a motion to reduce the street fund interfund services line item by $170,000 to $3247,230 in
each year of the biennium.
Recommendation Description:
This staff-recommended budget adjustment is necessary to correct a keying error identified in the
computation of the internal services rate for the Street Fund. The correction ensures accurate
allocation of internal service charges, aligning with the intended methodology.
The adjustment results in an overall reduction to the Street Fund, reflecting the corrected rate.
Importantly, the Equipment Rental and Replacement (ER&R) Fund remains unaffected by this change,
as the correction pertains solely to the rate applied within the Street Fund's allocation.
Staff Recommendation Purpose (intended outcomes):
• This revision maintains the integrity of financial management practices and ensures that
internal service charges are properly aligned with operational needs.

Amendment to Proposed 2025-2026 Biennial Budget
City of Edmonds – City Council
Amendment Title: Edmonds Permitting Fees Study
Amendment Number: C-18
Councilmember: CMs Paine and Dotsch Date Submitted: 11/14/2024
Fund: GF 001 & Other?? Agenda Packet: 11/19/2024
Department: Planning and Development Deliberated: Council staff will complete
Program: Outcome: Council staff will complete
Budget Year: 2025
Amendment Motion:
Motion to add up to $10,000 for a consultant study to evaluate the current permitting fee schedule
and update permitting fee methodology.
Amendment Description:
Permitting fees currently pay for 41% of the staff labor costs. Next year is the scheduled year to
update the permit fee schedule and in light of the past 4 years of inflation, the past fee schedule
setting methodology needs to be revalidated.
Amendment Purpose (intended outcomes):
• Provide an external review and comparison of Edmonds’ permitting fees versus other cities.
• Determine if there are gaps in our current permit fee schedule.
• Reduce general fund impacts based on an inadequate fee schedule.
• Review the permitting fees of other local, Puget Sound region, particularly in cities which have
experienced a recent burst of development (Shoreline, Bothell, Lynnwood, Everett, and
Seattle) as a comparative analysis.
• Have the permitting fees be indexed to the regional inflation rate used for construction
during the years when there isn’t a permitting fee rate study.
• The cost of the rate study should be included in the calculation of the permitting fees.
Describe All Funding Sources
Initially this study would be funded by the general fund. The cost of this study is to be included in the
calculation of the permitting fees to recover those costs.
Describe Future on Ongoing Costs (Expenditure) or Savings (Reduction of Expenditure):
This is an expense that would happen every 3 or 4 years.
