AgendaTopic
Please only vote on proposed Ordinances that contain all essential terms and
please never allow the Ordinances you vote on to be edited or added to after
you vote.
Comments
Please reconsider how the City Council defines “readings” of an ordinance in
Council’s Rules of Procedure. Proposed Ordinances must be written, definite,
and complete at the time of adoption. Those requirements come from
Washington case law, where courts have made clear that a City Council
cannot adopt an ordinance unless the ordinance: 1. Is in writing, 2. Contains
all essential terms, and 3. Is sufficiently definite and complete for
councilmembers and the public to understand what is being enacted. Please
be aware of Washington Case Law: • State ex rel. Seattle v. Carson, 6 Wn.2d
529 (1940), holds that an ordinance is invalid if it is so indefinite that the public
cannot determine what is required or permitted. • Yakima County Deputy
Sheriff’s Ass’n v. Board of Comm’rs, 92 Wn.2d 831 (1979), affirms that a
legislative enactment must be complete and definite so that its meaning can
be ascertained without resort to guesswork. • City of Auburn v. King County,
114 Wn.2d 447 (1990), further reinforces that a local legislative action must
include all essential policy choices and cannot leave substantive terms to staff
to fill in later. These cases collectively establish that when a council adopts an
ordinance, the ordinance must be fully drafted, complete, and definite at that
moment. A vote on an incomplete ordinance — including one that contains
blank fields — does not satisfy Washington law. Please consider how
Edmonds’ Rule 3.5 is not in the public interest. Under the current Rules of
Procedure, the City Council counts things like staff presentations, agenda
listings, committee discussions, and public hearings as “readings” of an
ordinance, even when no ordinance has been drafted yet. Those early steps
may be useful, but they are not “readings” of an ordinance in the sense
recognized by state law or the courts, because there is nothing written,
complete, or definite to read. This distinction matters. When the time comes
to adopt an ordinance, the law requires that the Council have the actual
ordinance language before it — not blank fields or missing exhibits, not
placeholders, and not conceptual summaries. Courts have been clear:
legislative bodies must adopt laws, not ideas for laws. I respectfully urge the
Council to consider revising Section 3.5 so that the term “reading” aligns more
Item 7.2
Packet pg. 14/219

closely with Washington’s legal requirements — meaning that a “reading”
refers to a written ordinance containing all essential terms being reviewed.
This would help ensure clarity, transparency, and legal compliance. Thank
you.

AgendaTopic Written Public Hearing Comment – Draft CAO - Deer Creek CARA

Due to size limitations in the online public comment system, I am submitting my written public
hearing comment by email. Please include the following written comment in the public hearing
record for the Critical Areas Ordinance update related to the Deer Creek Critical Aquifer Recharge
Area.
On behalf of the Olympic View Water & Sewer District, I am submitting this written public hearing
comment regarding the proposed revisions to the Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) as they relate to
protection of the Deer Creek drinking water aquifer.
At the December 16 meeting, two primary concerns were raised: whether stormwater infiltration
is needed to recharge the aquifer, and whether Best Available Science supports requiring
alternative stormwater infrastructure that may increase development costs. I would like to
address both of those points directly.
Stormwater Infiltration Is Not Necessary to Sustain the Aquifer
The Deer Creek source aquifer is naturally recharged through regional precipitation, natural
infiltration across undeveloped areas, and subsurface groundwater flow pathways. There is no
Best Available Science demonstrating that infiltrating urban stormwater through underground
injection control (UIC) wells or infiltration facilities is necessary to maintain aquifer recharge or
water supply reliability for the Deer Creek aquifer.
Item 7.2
Packet pg. 15/219
Edmonds City Council Public Comments – January 13, 2025 Meeting
Recharge volume is not the concern. Water quality is.
Best Available Science shows that urban stormwater routinely contains contaminants, including
PFAS, that are not reliably removed by conventional stormwater practices. Introducing urban
stormwater into the Deer Creek aquifer is not needed to maintain adequate recharge and instead
introduces contaminants into a system that is otherwise protected.
In addition, the hydrogeologic experts retained by Olympic View to delineate the Deer Creek
Wellhead Protection Area have confirmed that while infiltrated urban stormwater may contribute
some recharge volume, it is not required to sustain the aquifer, and intentional infiltration of
contaminated stormwater is not necessary or appropriate given the risk to drinking water quality.
In fact, even during relatively minor storm events, flows in Deer Creek increase measurably, with
volumes and associated turbidity that the treatment facility must manage, indicating that the
aquifer and source system have substantial available volume and respond immediately to
precipitation-driven inflows.
Recharge that compromises drinking water quality is not protective recharge.
Best Available Science Demonstrates a Credible Contamination Pathway
Peer-reviewed research and state monitoring demonstrate that PFAS are consistently present in
urban stormwater and that conventional stormwater control measures, or BMPs, are not designed
to remove these contaminants. Multiple studies have shown minimal attenuation of dissolved
PFAS through common stormwater treatment practices, meaning these compounds pass through
treatment and remain present in water that is ultimately infiltrated.
Similarly, the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Survey of PFAS in the Greater Lake
Washington Watershed documented widespread PFAS throughout an urban watershed and
identified stormwater runoff as a dominant transport pathway.
Together, these sources establish a clear and credible scientific pathway: urban stormwater
contains PFAS, conventional stormwater practices do not reliably remove them, and intentional
infiltration through UICs introduces those contaminants directly into the subsurface environment.
In simple terms, infiltrating stormwater means infiltrating PFAS.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulates stormwater UICs specifically because they
pose a potential endangerment to underground sources of drinking water by allowing surface
water and associated contaminants to be directly injected into the subsurface.
Once PFAS reach an aquifer, they are extremely persistent and costly to remove. Advanced
treatment requires long-term investment and can place the continued feasibility of the drinking
water source itself at risk.
State and federal regulations support precautionary action where credible contamination
pathways exist and contamination would be severe. Best Available Science documents those
pathways exist and severe potential consequences exist. Protecting a drinking water aquifer
clearly meets that threshold.
Requiring Protective Infrastructure Is Consistent with the Purpose of the CAO
Not allowing UICs within a Critical Aquifer Recharge Area does not prohibit development. It simply
requires that development be protective of the aquifer below. If development is proposed, the
City may require stormwater infrastructure that does not rely on infiltration.
The Critical Areas Ordinance is not intended to guarantee the lowest-cost development option or
resolve stormwater infrastructure constraints. Its purpose is to protect critical environmental
Item 7.2
Packet pg. 16/219
Edmonds City Council Public Comments – January 13, 2025 Meeting
resources using Best Available Science. Requiring appropriate infrastructure to protect a drinking
water source is consistent with that purpose and with the City’s responsibility to protect public
health.
Addressing Concerns Regarding a Development Moratorium
The Deer Creek CARA represents only a small portion of the City. The area within that CARA where
stormwater drainage infrastructure is limited represents an even smaller portion and, based on
our understanding, is confined to a small number of neighborhoods. The proposed restriction
does not apply citywide and does not affect most areas where development typically occurs.
The Critical Areas Ordinance is a resource-protection ordinance, not an infrastructure guarantee.
It does not require the City to provide stormwater infrastructure, nor does it entitle development
to rely on practices that pose a risk to a drinking water source.
Where development is proposed in sensitive areas, it is routine and appropriate for the City to
require alternative stormwater designs that do not rely on infiltration. The City already applies
similar restrictions in other critical areas, such as landslide hazard zones, without characterizing
those protections as moratoria.
Conclusion
The CAO is a resource-protection ordinance, not a stormwater convenience ordinance. Best
Available Science supports prioritizing drinking water quality over introducing known
contaminants into an aquifer through intentional infiltration. The no-UIC provision previously
included in the draft ordinance reflects that responsibility and appropriately balances growth with
protection of a critical public health resource.
For these reasons, Olympic View respectfully requests that the Council retain the prohibition on
UICs within the Deer Creek CARA as part of the CAO update.
Thank you for your consideration and for your commitment to protecting Edmonds’ drinking water
resources.
Sincerely,
Bob Danson, General Manager

Areas) codes. These will l put our drinking water at risk I urge you to create
better financial controls, transparency and accountability . Create the citizen
financial advisory board recommended by the Blue Ribbon Panel. Consider
streamlining processes. Budget cuts should first target departments whose
budgets have far outpaced population growth before any new levy lid lift is
proposed. Cut spending in the Mayor's Office and the City Attorney. I endorse

AgendaTopic 2026 New Year's Resolution to put taxpayers first
Comments
For your first Council meeting of 2026, I hope you will seriously consider
adopting ‘good governance’ reform and putting taxpayers first. In 2025, you
ignored the 11,000+ taxpayers who voted to defeat Prop1 (the $14.5M tax levy
lift). This super-majority of 59% of residents sent you a loud and clear message
that they want change and reform in 2026. They want you to acknowledge and
accept their demands for more taxpayer participation in setting priorities and
budgets. They want you to demonstrate in both word and deed that you hear
them and will make the necessary change and reform in good governance –
i.e., fiscal discipline, accountability, transparency, performance-
metrics/results-oriented management, making Edmonds affordable, and
putting taxpayers first. In case you doubt how frustrated taxpayers are with
your unwillingness to accept the Prop1 defeat and your drive to implement
Item 7.2

Edmonds City Council Public Comments – January 13, 2025 Meeting
more taxes (doubling utility tax, traffic benefit district tax, parking fees, new
business taxes, new sales tax for public safety, etc.) rather than control
spending, I urge you to read the attached 66 comments that were extracted
from the ‘last straw’ Petition that has been signed by 189 residents. This
Petition clearly outlines the list of taxpayer demands for 2026:
https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/enough-utility-tax-increase-is-last-straw
Taxpayers urge you to: - Repeal the utility tax ordinance. - Establish the
Citizens Financial Advisory Committee. - Delay any discussion of another 2026
levy until credible reforms are in place. - Conduct proper due diligence on
2021-2025 spending and the alternative budget presented by Keep Edmonds
Affordable. - Objectively assess a City-Manager form of government so that the
City has professional leadership that can correct the mismanagement of the
last 5-10 years and implement sustainable good governance and fiscal
discipline. Your first opportunity to show taxpayers that you have their backs is
the election of a new Council President. The Council President is largely
responsible for setting agendas and priorities. CM Dotsch is the only Council
member who has shown 100% consistency in good governance principles and
respecting the super-majority of taxpayers who voted against Prop 1. If you
want to signal reform in good governance, you should appoint CM Dotsch as
President. She will start requiring relevant and serious topics to be on the
upcoming agendas like financial transparency, accurate forecasting,
legislative governance, elimination of wasteful attorney costs/unauthorized
control of environmental issues (CARAs and PFAs), fixing and not repeating the
sewer plant debacle, updating and making common sense code, and
implementing the citizen volunteer groups and a citizens’ finance advisory
committee.

Comments
I've been in Edmonds for 40 years, and I have never seen such a hard working
student representative. You all should be honored that she is within your
midst. As a parent, I just want to make sure she is being treated well with
respect. Who is she? We don't even know her name? Where is her plaque?
Where is the respect? I hope in the future, the management is able to
understand how hardworking and dedicated their student representative is.
She should be given more opportunities to speak out in the meetings. As
someone who is being represented by this council for so long, I have
confidence that you will treat her with the upmost respect. Thanks, Jonathan

January 13, 2026 - Regular Meeting
TITLE:Professional Services Agreement for Highway 99 Revitalization Project
- Stage 3 Urban Design Elements
DEPARTMENT:Public Works and Utilities
PRESENTER:Mike De Lilla/Bertrand Hauss
NEEDED FROM COUNCIL:Action
RECOMMENDATION:Approve agreement.
BUDGET:
Total Dollar Amount:TBD ☐ Approved in Budget
Fund(s):grant funded ☐ Budget Reallocation Required
☒ No Budget Impact
PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT:
The Urban Design Elements task was included in SCJ’s (lead consultant) initial contract. They started
working on this portion of the project, and after several meetings, a determination was made that
another consultant should lead the urban design task. HBB was selected and their scope of work consists
of:
Site inventory and analysis
Preliminary concept development
o Establishment maximum of (4) conceptual-level alternatives
o Participation in Stakeholder meetings (already in-place)
o Concept refinement and community outreach (through Open Houses & on-line surveys)
o Selection of top (2) alternatives and completion of 30% Design Plans for both
Design documents for preferred alternative (60% Plans, 90% Plans, 100% Plans).
Structural work is included in SOW (as needed based on selected urban design elements) and to be
completed by Structural Consultant (MLA). Urban Design Elements plan sheets for this portion of the
project will be inserted into the SCJ plan sheets.
CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES:
The goal of the Highway 99 Revitalization project is to extend the successful transformation of Highway
99 in Shoreline through Edmonds from 244th St. SW to 210th St. SW. Due to the high cost of completing
all the other proposed improvements along the corridor, the 2 ¼ mile stretch was divided into 7
segments. The scope of the Stage 3 segment, from 244th St. SW to 238th St. SW, includes capacity
improvements at 238th St. SW with the addition of a second left turn lane for the northbound
movement. It also includes a planter strip, bike lane, new sidewalk, new street and pedestrian lighting
on both sides of Hwy 99, an overlay, and the completion of various utility improvements (including

conversion of overhead utilities to underground). Urban Design Elements additions to the project could
include the following: signage, artistic elements, landscaping, and hardscape components.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve agreement on consent agenda.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
The total contract cost with HBB contract for Stage 3 is $223,038.38 (including $4,286,49 in
Management Reserve) and will be 100% grant funded (Connecting Washington funds from $16.5 Million
secured amount and Move Ahead funds from $22.5 Million secured amount). This design work will be
completed by December 2027 (similar timeframe to SCJ work).

Urban Design Elements - Hwy 99 Revitalization & Gateway Project, Stage 3
The purpose of this project is to incorporate urban design elements to highlight the unique character of
Edmonds and to improve overall aesthetics for all modes of transportation users along Hwy 99. The work
developed under this contract will be folded into the larger construction packages for the roadway. Stage
3 of this project has secured all necessary funding for design and construction, with no Federal funding,
with an approximate duration of 24 months from notice to proceed to final bid documents. Urban design
elements could include landscape, paving treatments, signs, or small structures. In the event that public
art is of interest, this project will assist in the solicitation process, selection, and coordination with public
artist(s). The design process will start with site inventory and analysis before moving to concept
development and will progress towards bid-ready construction documents with public and stakeholder
involvement throughout.

deemed to be a termination for the convenience of the AGENCY. In such an event, the CONSULTANT would be
reimbursed for actual costs in accordance with the termination for other than default clauses listed previously.

Mr. Bertrand Hauss, P.E. 6 January 2026 Transportation Engineer City of Edmonds Bertrand.hauss@edmondswa.gov RE: Urban Design Element Services (as part of Highway 99 Revitalization & Gateway project - Stage 3) Dear Mr. Hauss, Thank you for the opportunity to provide urban design services for the City of Edmonds as part of the Highway 99 Revitalization project. After meetings and discussions with you on the scope of services, we understand the first phase will be Stage 3 (from 244th to ~ 400’ north of 238th) on Highway 99. A separate contract and scope of services will be developed for Stage 4 (from 224th to 220th). For both stages, SCJ Alliance (SCJ) is the lead consulting engineering for roadway improvements. The work developed under this contract will be folded into the larger construction packages for the roadway. Stage 3 has secured all necessary funding for design and construction, with no Federal funding, with an approximate duration of 24 months from notice to proceed to final bid documents. Urban design features could include landscape, paving treatments, signs, or small structures. Preliminary opportunity areas for urban design enhancements have been identified in Exhibit B. Examples of those urban design features are shown in pages 1 through 3 on Exhibit C from the City of Edmonds. We also understand that public art may be of interest, and a separate task is included below to assist in the solicitation process, selection and coordination with possible public artist(s). Examples of public art are shown on page 4 of Exhibit C. MLA Engineering is also joining our team as a subconsultant to assist with structural engineering for the possibility of larger urban design features. Our proposed scope of work will permit modification as we progress through the design process. The tasks that we are proposing for your project includes the following: PROJECT MANAGEMENT 1.1 Monthly Reporting & Invoicing a) Prepare and provide monthly reports with invoices. The project timeline is estimated to be 24 months from notice to proceed. 1.2 Biweekly Coordination Meetings with the City a) Attend bi-weekly virtual meetings with the City throughout the project, up to be 15 to 20 minutes in duration each. Formal meeting notes will not be produced for these coordination meetings, but follow-up emails will be provided for critical items discussed. 1.3 Project Schedule a) Develop and maintain a project schedule through the project. Make updates after each significant milestone in coordination with City and SCJ. 1.4 Subconsultant Coordination a) Coordinate with MLA Engineering throughout the project, primarily during Task 4 and Task 5. This includes attending up to eight (8) coordination meetings (virtual meetings). Task 1 Deliverables:
• Monthly reporting and invoicing
• Project schedule and updates.

Exhibit I Alleged Consultant Design Error Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to establish a procedure to determine if a consultant has alleged design error is of a
nature that exceeds the accepted standard of care. In addition, it will establish a uniform method for the
resolution and/or cost recovery procedures in those instances where the agency believes it has suffered some
material damage due to the alleged error by the consultant.
Step 1 Potential Consultant Design Error(s) is Identified by Agency’s Project Manager
At the first indication of potential consultant design error(s), the first step in the process is for the Agency’s project manager to notify the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer regarding the potential design error(s). For federally funded projects, the Region Local Programs Engineer should be informed and involved in these procedures. (Note: The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer may appoint an agency staff person other than the project manager, who has not been as directly involved in the project, to be responsible for the remaining steps in these procedures.)
Step 2 Project Manager Documents the Alleged Consultant Design Error(s)
After discussion of the alleged design error(s) and the magnitude of the alleged error(s), and with the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer’s concurrence, the project manager obtains more detailed documentation than is normally required on the project. Examples include all decisions and descriptions of work, photographs, records of labor, materials, and equipment.
Step 3 Contact the Consultant Regarding the Alleged Design Error(s)
If it is determined that there is a need to proceed further, the next step in the process is for the project manager to contact the consultant regarding the alleged design error(s) and the magnitude of the alleged error(s). The project manager and other appropriate agency staff should represent the agency and the
consultant should be represented by their project manager and any personnel (including sub-consultants)
deemed appropriate for the alleged design error(s) issue.
Step 4 Attempt to Resolve Alleged Design Error with Consultant
After the meeting(s) with the consultant have been completed regarding the consultant’s alleged design error(s), there are three possible scenarios:
•It is determined via mutual agreement that there is not a consultant design error(s). If this is the case,then the process will not proceed beyond this point.
•It is determined via mutual agreement that a consultant design error(s) occurred. If this is the case,then the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, or their representatives, negotiate a settlementwith the consultant. The settlement would be paid to the agency or the amount would be reducedfrom the consultant’s agreement with the agency for the services on the project in which the design
error took place. The agency is to provide LP, through the Region Local Programs Engineer, a
summary of the settlement for review and to make adjustments, if any, as to how the settlement
affects federal reimbursements. No further action is required.
•There is not a mutual agreement regarding the alleged consultant design error(s). The consultant mayrequest that the alleged design error(s) issue be forwarded to the Director of Public Works or AgencyEngineer for review. If the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, after review with their legalcounsel, is not able to reach mutual agreement with the consultant, proceed to Step 5.

Local Agency A&E Professional Services Agreement Number ____________
Negotiated Hourly Rate Consultant Agreement Revised 07/30/2021
Step 5 Forward Documents to Local Programs
For federally funded projects, all available information, including costs, should be forwarded through the
Region Local Programs Engineer to LP for their review and consultation with the FHWA. LP will meet

Exhibit J Consultant Claim Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to describe a procedure regarding claim(s) on a consultant agreement. The
following procedures should only be utilized on consultant claims greater than $1,000. If the consultant’s
claim(s) total a $1,000 or less, it would not be cost effective to proceed through the outlined steps. It is
suggested that the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the
consultant’s claim(s) that total $1,000 or less.
This exhibit will outline the procedures to be followed by the consultant and the agency to consider a potential
claim by the consultant.
Step 1 Consultant Files a Claim with the Agency Project Manager
If the consultant determines that they were requested to perform additional services that were outside of the agreement’s scope of work, they may be entitled to a claim. The first step that must be completed is the request for consideration of the claim to the Agency’s project manager.
The consultant’s claim must outline the following:
•Summation of hours by classification for each firm that is included in the claim
•Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
•Timeframe of the additional work that was outside of the project scope;
•Summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associated with theadditional work; and
•Explanation as to why the consultant believes the additional work was outside of the agreement
scope of work.
Step 2 Review by Agency Personnel Regarding the Consultant’s Claim for Additional Compensation
After the consultant has completed step 1, the next step in the process is to forward the request to the Agency’s project manager. The project manager will review the consultant’s claim and will met with the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer to determine if the Agency agrees with the claim. If the FHWA is participating in the project’s funding, forward a copy of the consultant’s claim and the Agency’s recommendation for federal participation in the claim to the WSDOT Local Programs through the Region Local Programs Engineer. If the claim is not eligible for federal participation, payment will need to be from agency funds.
If the Agency project manager, Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, WSDOT Local Programs
(if applicable), and FHWA (if applicable) agree with the consultant’s claim, send a request memo,
including backup documentation to the consultant to either supplement the agreement, or create a new agreement for the claim. After the request has been approved, the Agency shall write the supplement and/or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the claim. Inform the consultant that the final payment for the agreement is subject to audit. No further action in needed regarding the claim
procedures.
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant’s claim, proceed to step 3 of the procedures.

Packet pg. 97/219
Local Agency A&E Professional Services Agreement Number ____________
Negotiated Hourly Rate Consultant Agreement Revised 07/30/2021
Step 3 Preparation of Support Documentation Regarding Consultant’s Claim(s)
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant’s claim, the project manager shall prepare a summary
for the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer that included the following:
•Copy of information supplied by the consultant regarding the claim;
•Agency’s summation of hours by classification for each firm that should be included in the claim
•Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
•Agency’s summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associate
with the additional work;
•Explanation regarding those areas in which the Agency does/does not agree with the consultant’s
claim(s);
•Explanation to describe what has been instituted to preclude future consultant claim(s); and
•Recommendations to resolve the claim.
Step 4 Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer Reviews Consultant Claim and Agency Documentation
The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer shall review and administratively approve or
disapprove the claim, or portions thereof, which may include getting Agency Council or Commission
approval (as appropriate to agency dispute resolution procedures). If the project involves federal
participation, obtain concurrence from WSDOT Local Programs and FHWA regarding final settlement of the claim. If the claim is not eligible for federal participation, payment will need to be from agency funds.
Step 5 Informing Consultant of Decision Regarding the Claim
The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer shall notify (in writing) the consultant of their final decision regarding the consultant’s claim(s). Include the final dollar amount of the accepted claim(s) and rationale utilized for the decision.
Step 6 Preparation of Supplement or New Agreement for the Consultant’s Claim(s)
The agency shall write the supplement and/or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the
claim. Inform the consultant that the final payment for the agreement is subject to audit

PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT:
The Urban Design Elements task was included in SCJ’s (lead consultant) initial contract. They started
working on this portion of the project, and after several meetings, a determination was made that
another consultant should lead the urban design task. HBB was selected and their scope of work consists
of:
Site inventory and analysis
Preliminary concept development
Establishment maximum of (4) conceptual-level alternatives
Participation in Stakeholder meetings (already in-place)
Concept refinement and community outreach (through Open Houses & on-line surveys)

CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES:
The goal of the Highway 99 Revitalization project is to extend the successful transformation of Highway
99 in Shoreline through Edmonds from 244th St. SW to 210th St. SW. Due to the high cost of completing
all the other proposed improvements along the corridor, the 2 ¼ mile stretch was divided into 7
segments. The scope of the Stage 4 segment, from 224th St. SW to 220th St. SW, includes capacity
improvements at 220th St. SW with the addition of a second left turn lane for the northbound,
southbound, and westbound movements. It also includes a planter strip, bike lane, new sidewalk, new
street and pedestrian lighting on both sides of Hwy 99, an overlay, and the completion of various utility
improvements (including conversion of overhead utilities to underground). Urban Design Elements

SERVICES to the date of termination, the amount of SERVICES originally required which was satisfactorily completed to date of termination, whether that SERVICE is in a form or a type which is usable to the AGENCY at the time of termination, the cost to the AGENCY of employing another firm to complete the SERVICES required and the time which may be required to do so, and other factors which affect the value to the AGENCY of the SERVICES performed at the time of termination. Under no circumstances shall payment made under this subsection exceed the amount, which would have been made using the formula set forth in paragraph two (2) of this section.
If it is determined for any reason, that the CONSULTANT was not in default or that the CONSULTANT’s failure
to perform is without the CONSULTANT’s or its employee’s fault or negligence, the termination shall be
deemed to be a termination for the convenience of the AGENCY. In such an event, the CONSULTANT would be
reimbursed for actual costs in accordance with the termination for other than default clauses listed previously.

Exhibit I Alleged Consultant Design Error Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to establish a procedure to determine if a consultant has alleged design error is of a
nature that exceeds the accepted standard of care. In addition, it will establish a uniform method for the
resolution and/or cost recovery procedures in those instances where the agency believes it has suffered some
material damage due to the alleged error by the consultant.
Step 1 Potential Consultant Design Error(s) is Identified by Agency’s Project Manager
At the first indication of potential consultant design error(s), the first step in the process is for the Agency’s project manager to notify the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer regarding the potential design error(s). For federally funded projects, the Region Local Programs Engineer should be informed and involved in these procedures. (Note: The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer may appoint an agency staff person other than the project manager, who has not been as directly involved in the project, to be responsible for the remaining steps in these procedures.)
Step 2 Project Manager Documents the Alleged Consultant Design Error(s)
After discussion of the alleged design error(s) and the magnitude of the alleged error(s), and with the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer’s concurrence, the project manager obtains more detailed documentation than is normally required on the project. Examples include all decisions and descriptions of work, photographs, records of labor, materials, and equipment.
Step 3 Contact the Consultant Regarding the Alleged Design Error(s)
If it is determined that there is a need to proceed further, the next step in the process is for the project manager to contact the consultant regarding the alleged design error(s) and the magnitude of the alleged error(s). The project manager and other appropriate agency staff should represent the agency and the
consultant should be represented by their project manager and any personnel (including sub-consultants)
deemed appropriate for the alleged design error(s) issue.
Step 4 Attempt to Resolve Alleged Design Error with Consultant
After the meeting(s) with the consultant have been completed regarding the consultant’s alleged design error(s), there are three possible scenarios:
•It is determined via mutual agreement that there is not a consultant design error(s). If this is the case,then the process will not proceed beyond this point.
•It is determined via mutual agreement that a consultant design error(s) occurred. If this is the case,then the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, or their representatives, negotiate a settlementwith the consultant. The settlement would be paid to the agency or the amount would be reducedfrom the consultant’s agreement with the agency for the services on the project in which the design
error took place. The agency is to provide LP, through the Region Local Programs Engineer, a
summary of the settlement for review and to make adjustments, if any, as to how the settlement
affects federal reimbursements. No further action is required.
•There is not a mutual agreement regarding the alleged consultant design error(s). The consultant mayrequest that the alleged design error(s) issue be forwarded to the Director of Public Works or AgencyEngineer for review. If the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, after review with their legalcounsel, is not able to reach mutual agreement with the consultant, proceed to Step 5.

Negotiated Hourly Rate Consultant Agreement Revised 07/30/2021
Step 5 Forward Documents to Local Programs
For federally funded projects, all available information, including costs, should be forwarded through the
Region Local Programs Engineer to LP for their review and consultation with the FHWA. LP will meet
with representatives of the agency and the consultant to review the alleged design error(s), and attempt to
find a resolution to the issue. If necessary, LP will request assistance from the Attorney General’s Office for legal interpretation. LP will also identify how the alleged error(s) affects eligibility of project costs for federal reimbursement.
•If mutual agreement is reached, the agency and consultant adjust the scope of work and costs toreflect the agreed upon resolution. LP, in consultation with FHWA, will identify the amount of federalparticipation in the agreed upon resolution of the issue.
•If mutual agreement is not reached, the agency and consultant may seek settlement by arbitration or
by litigation.

Exhibit J Consultant Claim Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to describe a procedure regarding claim(s) on a consultant agreement. The
following procedures should only be utilized on consultant claims greater than $1,000. If the consultant’s
claim(s) total a $1,000 or less, it would not be cost effective to proceed through the outlined steps. It is
suggested that the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the
consultant’s claim(s) that total $1,000 or less.
This exhibit will outline the procedures to be followed by the consultant and the agency to consider a potential
claim by the consultant.
Step 1 Consultant Files a Claim with the Agency Project Manager
If the consultant determines that they were requested to perform additional services that were outside of the agreement’s scope of work, they may be entitled to a claim. The first step that must be completed is the request for consideration of the claim to the Agency’s project manager.
The consultant’s claim must outline the following:
•Summation of hours by classification for each firm that is included in the claim
•Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
•Timeframe of the additional work that was outside of the project scope;
•Summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associated with theadditional work; and
•Explanation as to why the consultant believes the additional work was outside of the agreement
scope of work.
Step 2 Review by Agency Personnel Regarding the Consultant’s Claim for Additional Compensation
After the consultant has completed step 1, the next step in the process is to forward the request to the Agency’s project manager. The project manager will review the consultant’s claim and will met with the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer to determine if the Agency agrees with the claim. If the FHWA is participating in the project’s funding, forward a copy of the consultant’s claim and the Agency’s recommendation for federal participation in the claim to the WSDOT Local Programs through the Region Local Programs Engineer. If the claim is not eligible for federal participation, payment will need to be from agency funds.
If the Agency project manager, Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, WSDOT Local Programs
(if applicable), and FHWA (if applicable) agree with the consultant’s claim, send a request memo,
including backup documentation to the consultant to either supplement the agreement, or create a new agreement for the claim. After the request has been approved, the Agency shall write the supplement and/or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the claim. Inform the consultant that the final payment for the agreement is subject to audit. No further action in needed regarding the claim
procedures.
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant’s claim, proceed to step 3 of the procedures.

A. Periodically, when the city conducts a salary survey regarding its nonrepresented employees, and whenever a
vacancy occurs in one of the positions listed in this chapter, the city council may review the specifications for the
appointive officer position(s) and revise them as needed before acting to confirm a permanent appointment.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prevent the city council from reviewing such specifications at
other times. The council’s revising of a specification will not have any effect on a previously confirmed permanent
appointment. Recruitment to fill a vacant appointive office may be postponed until after the city council acts to
revise the specifications or determines them not to be in need of revision.
B. The mayor or his/her designee will review all applications and determine the persons with the highest
qualifications. Any city council member, upon request to the mayor, may review the applications received for a
vacant position. Additionally and/or alternatively, the city council may evaluate the qualifications of an applicant
for public employment in executive session pursuant to RCW 42.30.110(1)(g).
C. If, on occasion of a vacant appointive office, the mayor elects to propose a reorganization of the appointive
offices which would alter the specifications of the vacant appointive office, he/she shall have 60 days from the date
of the vacancy to introduce a reorganization proposal to the city council along with any necessary accompanying
budget amendment. If reorganization is proposed, recruitment to fill the vacant appointive office may be
postponed until after the city council acts upon the reorganization proposal.
D. The mayor shall appoint, subject to council confirmation, the appointive officers. The city council shall
interview the top three candidates for each position prior to the mayor’s appointment; provided, that the city
council may waive the three-interview requirement by motion adopted by a majority plus one of the full council
and may opt to interview as few as two candidates for any vacant appointive office; and further provided, that
when an appointive office becomes vacant, or is about to become vacant, again within nine months of the city
council’s confirmation of the last mayoral appointment to that office, the city council may waive an additional
round of interviews, by motion adopted by a majority plus one of the full council, and proceed immediately to
confirming the appointment of a candidate interviewed by the city council during the most recent recruitment for
that appointive office. The mayor’s appointments to all other employee positions shall not be subject to city
council confirmation.
E. The mayor shall have the authority to appoint, without city council confirmation, an acting officer to perform
the functions and duties of a vacant, funded appointive office, subject to the term limitations described in ECC
2.10.040(B); provided, that there is budgetary authority to fill the position. The city council shall be given written
notice about any such acting appointments including the effective date of the appointment. Acting officers shall be
compensated pursuant to applicable ordinances and personnel policies regarding acting pay. An appointive office
will be deemed vacant: (1) as of the date the appointive officer has been separated from employment; or (2) prior
to the date of separation if the mayor has made a final decision to separate the employment of the appointive
officer and such appointive officer has been placed on leave and will no longer be performing any of the functions

The Target Zero Manager (TZM) and/or the Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) shall coordinate theSOW with the SUB-RECIPIENT with the goal of reducing traffic crashes.WTSC grant 2026-HVE-5732-Region 10 HVE was awarded to the WTSC Region 10 to supportcollaborative efforts to conduct HVE activities. By signing this agreement, the SUB-RECIPIENT can seekreimbursement for straight time or overtime for approved law enforcement activity expenses incurred asa participant in the region’s HVE grant.2.PERIOD OF PERFORMANCEThe period of performance of this Agreement shall commence upon the date of execution by both parties,but not earlier than October 1, 2025, and remain in effect until September 30, 2026 unless terminatedsooner, as provided herein.3.SCOPE OF WORK3.1.1 Problem ID and/or OpportunityIn 2023, Washington State experienced the deadliest year on its roads since 1990. The trajectory of thisrise in fatalities reflects a broader trend of increasing impairment-related crashes, speeding, andcompounding issues in law enforcement, medical, and judicial systems. This uptick in fatal crashes isdeeply intertwined with impaired driving, law enforcement challenges, and societal impacts.Page 1 of 20
Item 8.8
Packet pg. 166/219
A Decade of Increasing Traffic FatalitiesThe rise in fatalities has been both sharp and persistent:•2015 saw a drastic 19.3% increase in traffic fatalities, the largest single-year jump since data collectionbegan in 1968.•Following this spike, fatalities stabilized between 2015 and 2019.•In 2020, despite pandemic-related reductions in traffic volume, fatalities climbed 6.7%, from 538 to 574.•The situation worsened in 2021-2023, when fatalities surged by 20.2%, from 674 in 2021 to 810 in 2023,the highest number since 1990. This five-year increase represents the most rapid rise in traffic fatalitiesrecorded in Washington State's history.•Pedestrian fatalities were a record-high of 157 in 2023 and pedestrian serious injuries reached 472, alsoa record high for the state.This project will fund locally coordinated enforcement mobilizations to address impaired driving,distracted driving, seat belt safety, speeding, and motorcycle safety. Funding and events will be organizedby local Target Zero Managers (TZMs) & the statewide Law Enforcement Liaison networks and their localTarget Zero Task Force. These patrols will also be coordinated with the Washington State Patrol (WSP).Target Zero Managers will establish or strengthen relationships with key WSP district personnel toimprove interagency coordination.3.1.2 Project Purpose and StrategiesThis project will fund High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) and Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (TSEP)patrols to prevent impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt use, speeding, and motorcycle safety.High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) and Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (TSEP) patrols are designedto create deterrence by increasing the expectation of a citation/fine/arrest. Officers may also removehigh risk (impaired) drivers when encountered. So together, this countermeasure works by preventingdangerous driving behaviors and stopping those who still decide to engage in those behaviors.Funding and events will be organized by local TZMs, LELs, and their local Target Zero Task Force. Taskforces will use local data and professional judgement to determine enforcement priorities for theirjurisdictions and will schedule and plan enforcement and outreach activities. Regional participation in thefollowing National Campaigns is mandatory:•Impaired driving enforcement during the Holiday DUI campaign (December 2025).•Distracted driving enforcement during the Distracted Driving campaign (April 2026)•Seat belt enforcement during the Click It or Ticket campaign (May 2026).•Impaired driving enforcement during the Summer DUI campaign (August 2026).These patrols will also be coordinated with the Washington State Patrol (WSP). Target Zero Managerswill establish or strengthen relationships with key WSP district personnel to improve interagencycoordination with the WSP.3.1.3 Requirements for National Mobilizations and Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (TSEP)3.1.3.1.HVE events will be data informed; based on crash data, anecdotal evidence, and the professionaljudgement of task force members. WTSC strongly believes in the expertise of local officers to understandPage 2 of 20
Item 8.8

the highest priority areas in their communities to focus their efforts.3.1.3.2.The SUB-RECIPIENT will ensure that all officers participating in these patrols are BAC certifiedand have received and passed the SFST refresher training.3.1.3.3.SUB-RECIPIENT will ensure all officers participating in Impaired Driving patrols have also receivedAdvanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training.3.1.3.4.SUB-RECIPIENT shall ensure all participating personnel will use the WEMS system provided bythe WTSC to record all activities in digital activity logs conducted by their commissioned officerspursuant to the HVE events. Participating officers will fill out all applicable fields of the digital activity logand use the comments field to provide details on irregularities, challenges or other details that would helpexplain what was encountered during their shift. SUB- RECIPIENT will also ensure all supervisors andfiscal staff have the ability to review and edit those activity logs.3.1.4 Project Intent and Best Practice3.1.4.1.SUB-RECIPIENT is encouraged to help their Region Task Force fulfill the requirement toparticipate in the four mandatory National Campaigns. (Holiday DUI campaign in December 2025,Distracted Driving campaign in April 2026, Click It or Ticket campaign in May 2026, and Summer DUIcampaign in August 2026).NOTE: Agencies must participate in speed or impaired driving enforcement under this agreement to beeligible to receive funding under the WASPC equipment grant.3.1.4.2.SUB-RECIPIENT is strongly encouraged to participate in their task force to plan and executeenforcement events.3.1.4.3.Regional task force will be submitting quarterly progress reports and SUB-RECIPIENT isencouraged to participate to the fullest extent possible. Quarterly progress reports are due January 15,April 15, July 15, and October 15.3.1.4.4.WTSC encourages participating officers to prioritize violations that directly contribute to the injuryand death of road users, such as impaired driving, speeding, distracted driving, non-restraint, etc.3.1.4.5.SUB-RECIPIENT should promote patrol events through all earned, owned and, if funded, paidmedia that is available so that the public is made aware of the event before, during, and after theenforcement takes place. It is best practice to translate messages as needed and invite local mediainvolvement in the effort to reach communities in which HVE will occur.3.1.4.6.SUB-RECIPIENT should strive to actively enforce traffic safety laws focused on collision causingbehaviors in priority areas throughout the year outside of HVE events.3.1.4.7.When participating in motorcycle patrols SUB-RECIPIENT should focus on the illegal and unsafePage 3 of 20
Item 8.8
Packet pg. 168/219
driving actions of all motor vehicles interacting with motorcycles. This includes speeding, failure to yieldto a motorcycle, following too closely to a motorcycle, distracted driving, etc.3.1.4.8.When participating in motorcycle patrols SUB-RECIPIENT should ensure that enforcement willfocus on the illegal and unsafe driving actions of motorcycles that are known to cause serious and fatalcrashes. This includes impaired driving, speeding, and following too closely.3.1.4.9.Performance will be monitored by the regional TZM, LEL, and Task Force, as well as WTSC. WTSCreserves the right to designate specific officers as ineligible for cost reimbursement. This will occur if anofficer is determined to not have not met the purpose/intent of this grant in multiple emphasis patrols.3.1.4.10.Funds can be used to support the mentoring of officers in traffic enforcement. This can befocused on impaired driving, or general traffic enforcement.For DUI mentorship, WTSC has found it to be best practice to include a mix of instruction and practicalexperience. The mentor should be a DRE when possible, or a highly effective DUI emphasis patrol officerwith a minimum of ARIDE training. Mentor/mentee activities will be pre-approved by the TZM or LEL afterthe mentee submits their interest.3.1.4.11.Community outreach/collaboration: Funds can be used to pay for traffic safety focusedcommunity outreach and collaboration activities. The operational approach for regional communityoutreach and collaboration activities should be developed at the Task Force level and be approved by theWTSC. WTSC recommends that these activities include an opportunity for the audience to providefeedback on local traffic safety priorities and activities, which ideally will influence the region's plan fortraffic safety programming.3.1.4.12.In order to receive funding from this grant, agencies must participate with the regional trafficsafety task force/coalition in the planning efforts for these activities.3.1.4.13.WTSC also encourages all law enforcement agencies in Washington to utilize WTSC's dataanalysis resources, such as interactive dashboards and data from a statewide attitudinal survey, as welltheir regional Target Zero Manager to identify priorities for engaging with the community.3.1.4.14.WTSC will provide tools for documenting community collaboration activities, such as the WEMSactivity log.3.1.5 NATIONAL AND STATE-WIDE MOBILIZATIONSNot all agencies are required to participate in all of the mobilizations listed below. However, the regionmust have some law enforcement participation in all of the mobilizations listed.

TITLE:Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) Contract
DEPARTMENT:Police Services
PRESENTER:Chief Loi Dawkins
NEEDED FROM COUNCIL:Action
RECOMMENDATION:Staff is requesting that the council approve this contract on the
consent agenda, so the Mayor can sign it.
BUDGET:
Total Dollar Amount:N/A ☒ Approved in Budget
Fund(s):N/A ☐ Budget Reallocation Required
☐ No Budget Impact
PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT:
For 2026 we need this contract approved so our animal control efforts can continue seamlessly.
CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES:
The Police Department maintains an agreement with PAWS as part of our Animal Control efforts. The
PAWS facility is used by our staff and residents to shelter and re-home dogs and cats, rehabilitate
injured or orphaned wildlife, and care for homeless pets. There are limited options in Snohomish County
for these services and PAWS is local to the Lynnwood/South County Region. The City of Edmonds has
partnered with PAWS for 10+ years for kenneling and animal services. We need this contract as it
provides a facility for our animal control officer to take animals. The Edmonds Police department
otherwise has has no facilities to house animals in need of shelter. PAWS costs are negotiated in this
agreement. PAWS charges the city a per animal fee that includes any and all services associated with
that animal and up to 72 hours of kenneling. A per day fee beyond the 72 hours is levied if they keep the
animal housed longer, which must be requested by the city in writing. Pet owners must pay a fee to
PAWS when claiming their animal. This fee offsets what PAWS charges the city by a nominal amount (ex.
City is charged $248 to drop off the animal, the owner pays $20 to claim it back).
Entering this agreement with PAWS will not impact the current budget. We have a budget line for PAWS
fees within professional services. For 2025, we set this budget at $19,000 and have spent $16,496
through the month of October. We have budgeted $19,000 again for 2026, do not anticipate costs going
above this amount.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is requesting that the council approve this contract on the consent agenda, so the Mayor can sign
it.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
There is no general fund impact as this cost was included in our 2026 budget.

encountered which are not anticipated in the Scope of Work, the City understands that a
revision to the Scope of Work and fees may be required. Provided, however, that nothing in
this paragraph shall be interpreted to obligate PAWS to render services, or the City to pay

express written consent of the City.
15.Covenant against contingent fees. PAWS warrants that it has not employed or retained

18.Severability. This Agreement shall be read and interpreted as a whole, except that the
headings for each numbered paragraph are for descriptive purposes and shall not prevail over
the provision which they head. Any provision or part of the Agreement held to be void or
unenforceable under any law or regulation shall be deemed stricken and all remaining

Exhibit A
1. Undertakings of PAWS.
1.1 PAWS will furnish animal kenneling services to the City. Such services shall be
provided following the best practices for animal shelters as established by the “Association of
Shelter Veterinarians Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters.” To prevent the spread
of disease, PAWS will follow medical protocols for vaccines and parasite prevention as established
by the PAWS veterinary team. If an impounded animal from the City requires additional medical
care during the applicable holding period, as set forth in paragraph 1.6, below, PAWS will notify
the City as soon as practicable that such medical care services will be provided. PAWS will seek
reimbursement for such services from the animal’s owner and not from the City; unless the City
has instructed PAWS to provide the additional specific care for the animal(s). Animal kenneling
services provided pursuant to this Agreement shall include kenneling and holding animals at the
facility operated by PAWS, releasing animals to owners, taking photographs of animals to post
online as appropriate, and disposing of animals in a responsible and lawful manner, including
adoption or transferring to another agency animals not claimed by owners after the period
prescribed by ordinance and this Agreement. PAWS will provide spaying and neutering and
microchipping services in conjunction with its adoption services, and not as part of its kenneling
services. Spaying/neutering and microchipping will also be offered to guardians reclaiming their
stray cat or dog. Guardians reclaiming their animal will pay for spaying and neutering services;
and all adopted animals will be microchipped, spayed or neutered, provided it is deemed medically
safe by the PAWS veterinarian, per PAWS’ policy. PAWS will be open during its ordinary,
established business hours for stray and lost-and-found services.
1.2 In addition to animals brought in by the City’s Animal Control, other City officials, or
citizens, PAWS agrees to accept animals seized or found within the city limits of Edmonds that
are brought to PAWS by Lynnwood or Mountlake Terrace Animal Control officers under mutual
aid when Edmonds has no Animal Control on duty. Mutual Aid for the purposes of this Agreement
means only those animals that have been picked up within the city limits of Edmonds by Lynnwood
or Mountlake Terrace Animal Control officers.
1.3 PAWS shall provide veterinary care at the discretion of PAWS’ Senior Director of
Wildlife, Companion Animal & Education Services or, in her absence, her designated
representative (collectively “Shelter Manager”). If agreed upon by the Shelter Manager and a
licensed veterinarian, ill or injured stray animals, whether licensed or not, whose owners cannot
be notified, because the animal has no identification that is traceable or the owner cannot be
reached by a single phone call, may be euthanized if the animal is in pain that cannot be relieved
by such care as the shelter staff can reasonably provide. PAWS shall have a policy and procedure
to follow to euthanize the animal and to reach the owner. When reasonably possible, PAWS shall
recover costs from the owner of the animal for such veterinary treatment prior to release of the
animal or euthanasia procedure. Unclaimed and unadoptable animals will be humanely euthanized
and disposed of off-site. Disposal within the terms of this Agreement also includes disposal of
dead animals that are picked up by the City as part of its animal control services or animals that
die in PAWS’ care. PAWS, at its discretion, may decline to provide disposal services for residents
Item 8.9
Packet pg. 197/219
2026 Animal Kenneling Services Agreement, Page 9
9
of the City when the deceased animal in question is owned by the resident or his/her immediate
family, and/or has been euthanized by a private veterinarian.
1.4 PAWS agrees to abide by and strictly follow any and all procedures of Chapter 5.05
of the Edmonds City Code (“ECC”), as now and hereafter amended, regulating animals,
particularly as they relate to the length of impoundment before disposing of any animals. PAWS
and the City agree that Chapter 5.05 ECC, as now or hereafter amended, shall be incorporated by
reference herein and shall be part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.
1.5 PAWS agrees not to release any kenneled animal to any person until PAWS is
reasonably satisfied that the person has paid all applicable license, kenneling, and other fees to the
appropriate agency, including the City. The City shall be responsible for the preparation of all
reporting, fee collection and any accounting relating to such reporting and collecting.
1.6 Except as provided in paragraphs 1.3 and 1.4 above, PAWS agrees not to dispose of
any animal before seventy-two (72) hours upon receipt of receiving said animal from the City,
excluding previously designated holidays being observed by PAWS, nor shall PAWS release any
animal which has not been either spayed or neutered by a veterinarian in accordance with
procedures established by the City or has been designated by an agent of the City or such
veterinarian as an inappropriate candidate for surgery, as such term is defined in Chapter 5.05
ECC. Licensed, tagged, or identifiable animals will be held for ten (10) days by PAWS. Animals
held under RCW 16.52.085 will be held for fifteen (15) business days.
1.7 If not claimed by an owner during the applicable holding period, an animal shall
immediately become the property of PAWS. Disposition of the animal is then at PAWS’
discretion; provided, however, that: PAWS shall not dispose of the animal while any legal
proceedings of which it has notice and relating to the disposition of that animal are pending or in
contravention of any court order of which it has notice.
1.8 PAWS and the City agree to work collaboratively on promoting adoptions of those
animals brought to PAWS by the City. Adoptions shall be made in as timely a manner as possible
and an animal’s time in shelter shall be kept to a minimum. Persons adopting animals brought to
PAWS and otherwise subject to the provisions of this Agreement will be solely responsible for
paying all reasonable fees and costs charged by PAWS for its care and sheltering of the animal, in
addition to applicable licensing fees, microchipping charges or other fees that PAWS, in its
discretion, may charge.
1.9 PAWS reserves the right to refuse all animals other than dogs or cats, where, in PAWS’
opinion, it does not have the facilities appropriate or available to accommodate the needs of such
animal. PAWS further reserves the right to refuse any animal if the animal shelter is at its
maximum capacity. The Shelter Manager shall have the authority to make such determinations.
1.10 The Shelter Manager can decline an owned animal that needs to be placed on “bite
quarantine” if the City’s Animal Control Officer approves that the animal can remain at the
owner’s house or be housed at another boarding facility or veterinary clinic at the owner’s sole
expense.

2. Undertakings of the City.
2.1 In consideration of the services performed, the City shall pay to PAWS the sum of
Two Hundred Forty Eight Dollars ($248) per animal, which shall include costs of medical care
and spay/neuter services as set forth in paragraph 1.1 above. This amount shall be adjusted in 2027
and 2028 by an amount equivalent to the June Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue CPI-U for the preceding
year not to exceed 4% (the sum shall be rounded up to the nearest dollar); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the renewal of the Agreement is subject to an appropriation of funds by the
Edmonds City Council for future annual terms. If the City Council fails to appropriate funds for
kenneling services, this Agreement shall expire at the end of the last term for which an
appropriation has been made.
2.2 PAWS may also charge the City a per day fee of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per
animal for animals held, at the City’s written request, beyond the time periods specified in Section
1.6 of this Exhibit A. In the event of legal proceedings or court order, the City will provide PAWS
with prompt written notice of the same and direct that the animal shall be held until further notice.
2.3 The City and PAWS may collaborate to promote responsible guardianship and attempt
to reduce future sheltering and animal control costs. The City may continue to support the
community’s movement to a safer and more humane environment by participating with PAWS as
follows:
a) The City will continue to ensure that information on lost/found pets and licensing information
is presented on the City website including appropriate links to PAWS and animal control
information.
b) The City may work with PAWS to be visible in the community through appropriate and
available city events and educational information.

TITLE:PROTEC17 MOU for 2026 Wages
DEPARTMENT:Human Resources
PRESENTER:Ludwig Marz
NEEDED FROM COUNCIL:Action
RECOMMENDATION:Staff recommends that Council approve the attached MOU related to
the 2026 COLA for PROTEC17 employees on the Consent Agenda.
BUDGET:
Total Dollar Amount:0.00 ☒ Approved in Budget
Fund(s):N/A ☐ Budget Reallocation Required
☐ No Budget Impact
PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT:
In 2025, two new employee groups petitioned for union representation through the Public Employment
Relations Commission (PERC). This resulted in approximately 19 non-represented employees
becoming represented by the labor union PROTEC17. The process of negotiating a new collective
bargaining agreement is ongoing and any wage increase requires an agreement between the City and
PROTEC17.
CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES:
The 2026 COLA for PROTEC17 employees in the amount of 2.70% was outlined for City Council on the
November 25th Consent Agenda as part of the Non-represented 2026 COLA recommendation.
PROTEC17 has agreed to the 2.70% COLA for calendar year 2026 which is memorialized in the attached
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). All other union groups are also receiving a 2026 COLA of 2.70%.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council approve the attached MOU related to the 2026 COLA for PROTEC17
employees on the Consent Agenda.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
The PROTEC17 MOU does not increase existing budgeted salaries for 2026.

THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (“MOU”) is entered into by and between the CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON (hereinafter the “City”) and PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICAL EMPLOYEES LOCAL 17
(PROTEC17) (hereinafter “Union”) (collectively, the “Parties”).
WHEREAS, the Parties will soon be entering into negotiations for initial Collective Bargaining
Agreements (hereinafter “CBAs”) for two recently certified bargaining groups, referenced herein as the
“Managers” bargaining unit and the “Non-Managers” bargaining unit; and
WHEREAS, these two bargaining units consist of employees who were previously non-represented
employees of the City; and
WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that it is appropriate, in support of maintaining the status quo for
employees in both groups during the period of negotiations, that the 2026 COLA increase the City has
approved for its non-represented employees be applied to employee wages for these bargaining units; and
NOW THEREFORE, the Parties enter into this MOU to memorialize the following agreement:
1. The City will provide all employees in the Managers and Non-Managers PROTEC17
bargaining units with a 2.7% COLA increase, effective January 2026 and applied at the time and in
the manner it is applied to non-represented City employee wages. This 2.7% shall apply to the 2025
pre/non-furlough wage schedule and these employees’ salaries will be restored to said schedule. In
total, this represents a 7.6% wage increase to the 2025 furlough wage schedule.
2. The parties agree this shall constitute wage adjustments for the 2026 calendar year.
However, the Parties agree that this does not preclude negotiations over additional economic
provisions and/or the potential for retroactive application in a future Collective Bargaining
Agreement.
3. This MOU is intended to document the intent of the parties with regard to the above
referenced matter and does not set a precedent with regard to any other matter.

January 13, 2026 - Regular Meeting
TITLE:Transportation Benefit District Sales Tax - Council Action
DEPARTMENT:Community Services and Economic Development
PRESENTER:Todd Tatum
NEEDED FROM COUNCIL:Action
RECOMMENDATION:Staff recommend Council approve this 0.1% sales tax to enable our
streets division to provide funding to address deferred maintenance
and make improvements to our street and sidewalk networks.
BUDGET:
Total Dollar Amount:$660,000 ☐ Approved in Budget
Fund(s):111 ☒ Budget Reallocation Required
☐ No Budget Impact
PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT:
The Street Maintenance Division maintains and improves over 157 vehicle lane miles, traffic markings,
93 miles of sidewalks, over 6,000 signs, and 23 signalized intersections with hundreds of electronic
control devices. The city routinely assesses the condition of our streets. In 2018, the recommended
annual investment in our streets was $2.5m. We’ve averaged ~$1.5m/yr since then. The results of our
community survey showed the importance to residents of maintaining streets and fixing potholes. Of
those surveyed, 92% placed this item as either very important or extremely important. Satisfaction with
the same service, however, was rated at only 44% very satisfied or extremely satisfied. This rating
demonstrates the impact of limited funding on our ability to deliver this critical service.
CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES:
This item was introduced to Council in December, and was subject to a public hearing on January 6th.
Council moved the date for potential action to January 13’s meeting. Staff will provide a brief summary
of previous discussion points and will be available for questions as Council discusses this topic.
Per the Revised Code of Washington 36.73, a Transportation Benefit District (TBD) is a quasi-municipal
corporation and independent taxing district created for the sole purpose of acquiring, constructing,
improving, providing, and funding transportation improvements within the district. On November 18,
2008, the Edmonds City Council approved Ordinance 3707, thus amending the Edmonds City Code to
enact a new Chapter 3.65, Edmonds Transportation Benefit District (TBD), establishing a TBD, specifying
the boundaries for the TBD, specifying the maintenance and preservation of existing transportation
improvements, and fixing a time when the same shall become effective. Following public comments and
deliberation, the Edmonds City Council approved Ordinance 3707. The boundary of the Transportation
Benefit District is coextensive with the boundary of the City of Edmonds. The governing board of the
Transportation Benefit District is the Edmonds City Council acting in an ex officio and independent
capacity per RCW 36.73.020(3). TBDs have a few sources of revenue to draw from. First is a motor
vehicle license fee. Our current fee is $40.00 of the maximum allowable $50.00 under councilmanic
authority. The second source of revenue is a sales tax of up to 0.3%. Effective July 1, 2022, up to 0.1% of
this sales tax may be imposed by a majority vote of the governing board (Edmonds City Council) as long
Item 9.2
Packet pg. 212/219
as the TBD includes all of the territory within the boundaries of the jurisdiction(s) forming the TBD.
Otherwise, the sales tax must be approved by a simple majority of voters. This sales tax may generally
not exceed 10 years, but it may be renewed for additional 10-year periods with voter approval or a vote
of the governing board, as appropriate. The TBD sales tax may only exceed 10 years for the repayment
of debt, in which case the ballot measure should state the intended use and duration of the debt
service. Should Council approve a 0.1% sales tax, the earliest this could go into effect is April 1, 2026 due
to timing requirements with the Department of Revenue. The Department of Revenue requires a
minimum of 75 days notice of the change before collections can begin.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend Council approve this 0.1% sales tax to enable our streets division to provide funding to
address deferred maintenance and make improvements to our street and sidewalk networks.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
This sales tax, if approved by Council at this meeting, allows the sales tax to be collected starting on April
1st and will bring in approximately $660,000 in 2026. Future years will collect the entire 12 months,
which is an estimated $1,000,000/yr.
