Comments
Subject: Written comments submitted for the Tuesday, April 28,
2026 Regular Edmonds City Council Meeting. Edmonds City Council
I've been a frog for a long time, over 60 million years, and way back
in frog history they wanted to create a Luxurious Frog Pond with lily
pads, and water fountains, and wonderful things to eat so our best
jumping frogs could jump in front of all the rest of us frogs. It was an
idea created by .... the Messianic Legislative Bullfrog Or as we
regular frogs call it - - the MLB. We had something called . . the
Messianic Legislative Bullfrog Council. And when the council spoke,
regular frogs would say "Hey listen, that's bullfrog." When the regular
frogs heard That the council was TAKING money from tadpoles And
GIVING it to the MLB They turned, and looking at each other, said:
"That's BULL ...... frog." The Messianic Albatross Yielding
Opportunistic Reptile - Or as we regular frogs call it - - the MAYOR -
and the council all agreed to take money from tadpoles. Then some
regular frogs found Project Frog Pond. Project Frog Pond was a
secret plan the MLB made with the MAYOR to make regular frogs
pay for the new frog pond. Regular frogs found out about it.... And
started singing. Edmonds City Council, start singing. Dear City of
Edmonds Councilmembers, Please give the proposed Youth Activity
Account Resolution serious consideration: Youth Activity Account
Resolution of the City of Edmonds -- proposed. Whereas parks
funded by Youth Activity Account in Edmonds include Edmonds
Civic Center Playfield and Meadowdale Beach Park in Edmonds.
Whereas the Edmonds Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS)
Plan guides the development, maintenance, and enhancement of
the city's parks, trails, and cultural facilities. Whereas Edmonds is a
charming and welcoming city with safe streets, parks, climate
resiliency, and access to the natural beauty of our community.
Whereas citizens of Edmonds share parks funded by the Youth
Activity Account throughout the community, including Evergreen
Playfield and Tennis Courts in Mountlake Terrace and South

TITLE:Approval of Amendment to Professional Services Agreement for
Perrinville Flow Reduction Study Update (Second Reading)
DEPARTMENT:Engineering
PRESENTER:Mike De Lilla
NEEDED FROM COUNCIL:Action
RECOMMENDATION:Move to approve amended contract in the amount of $383,456 with
Herrera Environmental Consultants.
BUDGET:
Total Dollar Amount:$383,456 ☒ Approved in Budget
Fund(s):422 Fund, grant, City of
Lynnwood matching ☐ Budget Reallocation Required
☐ No Budget Impact
PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT:
An amendment to the professional services agreement is needed for the second phase of the flow
reduction study update for the Perrinville Drainage Basin (Study). It will include more in-depth analysis
for the ten highest scoring projects from first phase of the Study update. The project rankings will be
reassessed and the consultant will provide conceptual design for the six highest scoring sites.
CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES:
In 2015, the City completed a Basin Analysis and flow reduction study for the Perrinville Drainage Basin.
The primary goal of the Study was to determine project locations in the Cities of Edmonds and
Lynnwood to reduce peak stormwater flows going into Perrinville Creek. Peak flows cause large amounts
of erosion in the upper reaches, resulting in larger sediment deposits and some flooding in the lower
reaches. This result is not beneficial to the aquatic habitat and health of the overall Creek. By reducing
in-stream peak flows, erosive forces would be mitigated and result in biological benefits to both the
creek and Browns Bay in the Puget Sound. These flow rate reductions would also improve the overall
stream aquatic habitat by treating and reducing the amount of pollutants entering this environment.
The Study evaluated and recommended projects and means to reduce the erosive degradation in
Perrinville Creek. Since that time, Edmonds and Lynnwood have completed a number of projects listed
in the Study and updated their respective drainage codes to further mitigate peak flows when
development within the basin occurs.
In 2024, Edmonds and Lynnwood entered into an interlocal agreement (ILA) and contracted Herrera
Environmental Consultants to provide design services for the Study Update. Phase 1 of the Study Update
involved a review of the recommended projects and planning level design and estimating work of new
projects. Projects were rated based on criteria including impact on flows, constructability, and cost
effectiveness.
A contract has now been negotiated to finalize the update. This second phase will include a more in
depth analysis, including geotechnical investigations for the sites that include mitigation via infiltration,
Item 8.2
Packet pg. 61/145
for the ten highest scoring flow reduction projects from first phase of the Study Update. Once the
analysis is completed, the project rankings will be reassessed and the consultant will provide conceptual
design for the six highest scoring sites.
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to approve amended contract in the amount of $383,456 with Herrera Environmental
Consultants.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
Phase 2 will be a joint effort between the Cities of Edmonds and Lynnwood. To aid with funding, the
Cities acquired a $469,200 Department of Ecology (DOE) grant toward this effort. This grant requires
$82,800 in local (Edmonds & Lynnwood) matching funds. The 2024 Interlocal agreement formalizes the
roles and responsibilities between the two agencies for this project and how the grant and matching
funding costs will be split, with the result being that the grant and the matching funds costs will be split
50/50 between the Cities. The amendment to the professional services agreement is $383,456 and
includes a $20,455 management reserve. This contract will be funded by the Storm Utility Fund, DOE
grant and matching funds from the City of Lynnwood.

Deliverables
· Refer to Task 3b, 4, and 5 for project management/contract administration deliverables.
Task 3.b – Cultural Review and Geotechnical
Investigations
During Phase 1, the Consultant prepared the cultural resource review form and completed an Inadvertent
Discovery Plan (IDP) and submitted those documents to the City for submission to Ecology. The
Consultant also developed a Geotechnical Investigation Plan and submitted it to the City.
During Phase 2 the Consultant will complete the geotechnical investigation.
The Consultant will complete geotechnical explorations and groundwater monitoring to determine
feasibility of the priority projects. Explorations and groundwater monitoring for this project will focus on
filling gaps in site-specific knowledge to collect information that is applicable to facility design. In
addition to groundwater monitoring, the Consultant may estimate infiltration potential at project sites by
correlating grain size results from project explorations to their in-house database of pilot infiltration and
underground injection control (UIC) well test results.
Assumptions
● The scope of work includes geotechnical investigations (vacuum truck excavations and drilling or
hand auger borings) and groundwater level monitoring well installation as summarized in the

PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT:
There is now a desire to have the Salary Commission unpaused to resume its work in 2026 for the 2027 -
2/28 biennium. The current Resolution 4376 which paused the Boards and Commissions for the 2025

CONTEXT, ANALYSIS, & ALTERNATIVES:
CW 35.21.015 authorizes cities and towns in Washington State to establish independent salary
commissions to set and adjust the salaries of elected officials, with specific rules for commission
membership, salary changes, and voter referendums.
The Edmonds City Council has established, repealed, reestablished and paused a salary commission at
various times over the years with the following ordinances and resolutions:

Ordinance 3508 (repealing and reenacting a salary commission in 2004)
Ordinance 3975 (repealing the salary commission in 2014)
Ordinance 4057 (adopting a salary commission in 2017)
Ordinance 4223 (repealing a salary commission in 2021)
Ordinance 4252 (adopting a salary commission in 2022)
Resolution 4376 passed in December of 2024, pausing the Salary Commission for the 2025 – 2026

PROPOSAL:
•The Edmonds City Council is considering unpausing the
Salary Commission.
•In December 2024, the Salary Commission was paused by
the Council due to budget constraints and was suspended
for the 2025 and 2026 biennium. The pause will sunset on
January 1, 2027.
•Unpausing now would mean the Commissioners will meet
this year (2026) to review and make binding salary and
benefits recommendations for the City’s elected positions
of Mayor and Council for 2027 and 2028 biennium.
Item 9.2
Packet pg. 114/145
Reasons to Un-pause the Salary Commission At This Time –
Consistent with our Council Priorities:
• Transparency and public trust
The Salary Commission provides an open, independent, and
transparent mechanism for compensation decisions. This reduces the
perception of political influence and strengthens public confidence in
the process.
•Alignment with evolving responsibilities
Elected roles change over time due to new state and federal
requirements, increased workloads, and emerging areas of city
responsibility. The Commission can assess whether current
compensation reflects these evolving duties.

Item 9.2

Reasons to Un-pause the Salary Commission At This Time –
Consistent with our Council Priorities (cont.)
•Predictable financial planning
Regular review cycles allow for thoughtful, incremental budgeting.
Postponing evaluations can lead to larger and more abrupt
compensation adjustments later, creating avoidable budget
pressures.
•Regular, objective compensation review
A functioning Commission ensures reviews are fact‑based,
consistent, and informed by current data.

WHEREAS, the Edmonds City Council has established, repealed, reestablished and
suspended a salary commission at various times over the years with the following ordinances:
