3. APPROVAL OF CITY COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE LOCAL MATCH FUNDING IN THE
AMOUNT OF APPROXIMATELY $1,600,000 FOR ARTERIAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
(AIP) GRANT APPLICATION FOR 200TH STREET SW IMPROVEMENTS
City Engineer Dave Gebert explained this item was to obtain the Council's commitment to provide a
local match funding in the amount of up to $1.6 million for a Transportation Improvement Board (TIB)
grant for the 220tt' Street SW improvement project. He explained in the 2001-2006 Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) $500,000 was identified in 2004 for design of this project and $3 million was identified in
2005 for construction, which was dependent on state and federal grants.
Mr. Gebert explained in September 2001, staff submitted an Arterial Improvement Program (AIP) Grant
application to TIB for this project. The scope of the project includes widening the street to three lanes
including a 2-way left turn lane, construction of curb, gutter, sidewalks and bike lanes on both sides,
related storm drainage and utilities relocation from 9th Avenue South to 84th Avenue West. The total
project cost estimate is now $4 million. The grant application was submitted based on beginning design
in 2002 and construction in 2005 and a request for an AIP grant for $2.4 million with a local match of
$1.6 million. The grant application listed the sources of the $1.6 million to be $5,000 from Community
Transit related to bus shelters, $5,000 from the Edmonds School District related to sidewalks in the
vicinity of a school, $370,000 from the City's storm drainage capital project fund due to storm drainage
components in the project, and the remaining $1.22 million from the City's combined street
construction/improvement fund 112. The intent was to pursue additional grants for the majority of the
remaining $1.22 million. Mr. Gebert noted once the TIB grant was approved, the probability of the
City's receiving additional grant funding would increase.
Mr. Gebert reported the TIB staff met with City staff in late October and indicated the grant application
was strong and had a good probability of the grant being approved but they could not make a
commitment until the Board reviewed the proposal. Mr. Gebert reported TIB staff asked if the
construction of the project could be accelerated from 2005 to 2003. They confirmed there was a high
probability the City could obtain federal or other grant sources to make up the majority of the $1.6
million of the local match. TIB staff offered to assist City staff in its pursuit of other grant funds.
As a commitment from the City for the local match was required to present the application to the TIB,
TIB staff requested the City provide a commitment that in the event additional grants were not obtained
for the local match amount, the City would provide the local match from City funds. TIB staff requested
the commitment be provided by November 14 in order to meet their timeline for presentation to the
Board. Although TIB staff were unable to attend tonight, staff received an email from TIB staff
reiterating their indication that the project was strong and they felt there was a high likelihood of the City
receiving additional grants once the TIB grant was secured.
Mr. Gebert explained the Engineering Department was in the process of preparing the 6-Year CIP for
2002-2007. He noted the draft 2002-2007 CIP was attached to the Council packet. Included in that plan
is a local match of $370,000 from the 412 Storm Drainage Fund distributed evenly between 2003 and
2004 for their portion of the project. The draft CIP indicates there is sufficient cash balance available to
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
November 13, 2001

enable the City to commit to that amount from the storm drainage fund if other grants/loans were not
obtained.
In the 112 combined street construction/improvement fund, staff evaluated three scenarios: 1) assuming
receipt of federal grant funds to cover the majority of the $1.22 million required for the local match (best
case scenario), 2) assuming receipt of no additional grant money to cover the City's local match
requirement (worst case scenario), and 3) assuming a loan is secured to cover the majority of the $1.22
million required for local match (in-between case scenario).
Mr. Gebert explained in the first scenario, based upon receipt of federal grants to make up the majority of
the match, the 2002-2007 CIP indicates there is sufficient cash balance to accomplish the 220`h Street SW
Improvement project and still maintain a Citywide Overlay project between $250,000 and $600,000 per
year and also accomplish other important planned projects. It also provides for an additional $180,000 to
$220,000 per year in 2003-2007 for the annual Waterline Overlay project which provides for overlays of
City streets where water mains have been replaced the prior year.
In the second scenario, assuming no federal or other grants to cover the local match requirement, in order
to accomplish the 22Wh Street SW Improvement project and leave sufficient cash balance in the fund, the
City would be required to defer the equivalent of approximately 21/4 years of overlays (reducing the
Overlay Program to no funds for the Citywide Overlay Project in 2003 and 2004 and reducing the
amount from $300,000 to $100,000 in 2005). He noted this did not impact the $750,000 in bond funds
recently approved for overlays as those funds were accounted for separately in the 330 Fund. He noted
the second scenario maintained $180,000 to $220,000 per year in 2003-2007 for the Waterline Overlay
project. As an alternative to deferring the Citywide Overlay, other projects in the Street
Construction/Improvement Fund could be delayed, however, because of the size of the other projects, a
number of them would need to be deferred to equal the needed amount and likely would still require
deferring some overlays.
The third scenario, assuming a loan (Public Works Trust Fund, bond or other) to cover the approximately
$1.2 million in the required local match, includes an annual debt service of $80,000 per year for 20 years
and allows Citywide Overlay projects of between $200,000 and $600,000, plus the Waterline Overlay
projects of between $180,000 and $220,000 in 2003 through 2007 and for the foreseeable future.
Mr. Gebert cautioned reducing the budget for overlays in 2003-2005 was contrary to the objective of
accelerating the overlay program. However, the 220th Street Improvement projects has been a high
priority, high impact project for the City for many years and a project the City has been unable to
accomplish due to its high cost. The City now has an opportunity to obtain $2.4 million in grant funds to
accomplish this $4 million project and the probability is high that the City would be able to obtain
additional grant or loan funding. It was staff s opinion that the potential benefit of accomplishing this
major, high priority, high impact project outweighed the potential risk and potential negative impacts of
deferring the Citywide Overlay and/or other projects. Staff recommends Council authorize staff to
provide written commitment to the Transportation Improvement Board that local match funds in the
amount of approximately $1.6 million for the 220th Street Improvement Project grant will be provided
from City funds.
Councilmember Orvis asked if the second '/4 Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) funds were eligible, with a
change in Council policy, for the 220th Street project. Mr. Gebert advised Administrative Services
Director Peggy Hetzler indicated they were.

Councilmember Marin asked whether including the wording "the City will provide" precluded the City
from obtaining other funding. Mr. Gebert advised a letter has been drafted indicating the City's intent to
pursue other grants/loans but in the event the City was unable to obtain these, the fund would be provided
from City funds.
Councilmember Marin asked if the City would be in a similar situation of seeking funding sources for
this project if this grant opportunity had not come up. Mr. Gebert stated the grant application was
structured with design in 2002 and construction in 2005. The strategy was to obtain the TIB grant to
complete the design of the project as having a completed design strengthens the project for other grants.
Council President Earling asked how this project was able to move to the top when there were years of
projects across the region that would like to have the same opportunity. Mr. Gebert said the TIB staff
explained this was a strong project, it was high impact, and Edmonds has not had a TIB grant in a while.
Traffic Engineer Darrell Smith said other factors TIB staff considered were the lack of adequate
pedestrian facilities near a significant school, it is a major transit corridor, and it included the City's #1
bicycle improvement project. He noted there is a strong possibility TIB will not exist in the same form
next year as the legislature will be considering whether the agency will retain its current form.
Council President Earling asked when the TIB, was meeting to consider this application and others. Mr.
Smith answered the TIB will begin deliberations in December and make commitments regarding grants
in January. Council President Earling commented this project from 9th Avenue South to 84d' Avenue
West was in a high impact corridor and was a project that had been considered for a number of years.
Council President Earling advised he spoke with Congressman Jay Inslee's office today to ensure they
were aware of this project and the grant request and they offered to assist in anyway they could. Council
President Earling noted very little "politics" occurred in the project selection process by TIB and the
Board generally accepted staffs recommendations if the list of projects was well constructed. Mr. Smith
agreed, noting the TIB was a unique organization and was adamant about assisting local agencies.
Council President Earling inquired about the potential for obtaining additional funding with leverage
provided by the TIB grant funding. Mr. Gebert advised when Mr. Smith researched the issue before
submitting the application, he determined it was relatively low risk due to the high probability the City
could obtain additional grant funding. If the City did not obtain the grant funds, the loan option included
a number of options that did not require deferral of all projects. He noted his understanding of Public
Works Trust Fund loans was that major re -construction of a roadway ranked high.
Council President Earling noted this was a relatively small amount to bond and inquired whether it would
have any impact on the City's ability to bond. Ms. Hetzler answered no.
COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MARIN, TO
AUTHORIZE STAFF TO PROVIDE WRITTEN COMMITMENT TO THE TRANSPORTATION
IMPROVEMENT BOARD THAT LOCAL MATCH FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF
APPROXIMATELY $1.6 MILLION FOR THE 220TH STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
GRANT WILL BE PROVIDED FROM CITY OF EDMONDS FUNDS. MOTION CARRIED

udget 4. BUDGET WORKSHOP
orkshop
Administrative Services Director Peggy Hetzler recalled two weeks ago staff s presentations regarding
the 2002 preliminary budget focused on the General Fund and the City's multiple capital funds.
Tonight's presentation would address the three other major funds, Combined Utility Fund, Street Fund,
and Equipment Replacement Fund. She advised the Council packet contained revised copies of the
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
November 13, 2001
Page 4
Combined Utility Fund 411, which was revised to reflect receipt of a Public Works Trust Fund loan.
Street Fund 111 was also revised as a result of a number of decision packages that were revised after the
budget book was printed and a $100,000 transfer into the Street Fund from the Electrical Utility Tax to
offset the increased cost of street lighting. The Equipment Rental Fund has not changed from the
information provided in the budget book.
Ms. Hetzler explained the Combined Utility Fund accounted for all water, sewer, stormwater, and
treatment plant activities. She noted revenues for this fund were a combination of water, sewer and
stormwater rates and contributions for agencies that participate in the treatment plant.

Councilmember Plunkett asked what the traditional ending cash balance was for the Combined Utility
Fund. Ms. Hetzler acknowledged the cash was being drawn down in 2002 by the capital projects. She
advised the fund began 2000 with $2.5 million, $2.2 million in 2001, $1.5 million in 2002 and would be
reduced to $1 million by yearend 2002. Councilmember Plunkett commented there wasn't actually a
norm for the balance as it depended on the amount of capital projects. Ms. Hetzler said a $1 million fund
balance was preferable for cash flow purposes.
Councilmember Petso inquired about the Public Works furnace replacement project funded via the Water
Fund, how the old Public Works building was being used and what connection it had to the Water Fund.
Public Works Director Noel Miller explained the furnace replacement was paid from the Water Fund
because the Water/Sewer Utility owns and maintains the old Public Works property. The furnace is
original equipment (circa 1967) and has reached the end of its life. The bays of the building are currently
used to house Public Works vehicles and seasonal equipment. The front entrance is currently being used
by the Driftwood Players for storage.
Councilmember Petso asked if the area where equipment was stored was being heated. Mr. Miller
responded the furnace heated the front portion. The Driftwood Players pay a nominal amount to cover
the cost of utilities. Councilmember Petso pointed out no water operations were occurring in the
building where the new furnace would be installed. Mr. Miller agreed.
Ms. Hetzler reviewed Street Fund 111, explaining this Fund was used to accumulate revenues for street
maintenance projects. The Street Fund had one major revenue source, the Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax
collected by Snohomish County. She noted this fund was heavily subsidized by the General Fund.

Council President Earling inquired about the roadway crack seal program included as a decision package.
Mr. Miller advised this was a one-time expenditure to upgrade archaic crack sealing equipment. The
City has learned that crack sealing helps extend the life of the roadway and was therefore upgrading the
City's equipment.
Next, Ms. Hetzler reviewed the Equipment Rental Fund 511, explaining the RCW's require the City to
have this fund in place. The purpose of the fund is to accumulate money for repair and eventual
replacement of City vehicles. This fund has no independent revenue source; all revenues come from
other operating departments in the City. Staff tracks fuel and repair costs, which are passed on to the
departments utilizing those vehicles. A replacement schedule is established based on the estimated
useful life of the vehicle so that sufficient funds are available for its replacement.

Councilmember Petso asked whether the transfer from the General Fund could be reduced if replacement
of vehicles were delayed. She noted some vehicles were identical but have varying total mileage. She
cited an example of the Parks Department truck, one with 85,000 miles and another with 53,000 and
asked whether the vehicle with the higher mileage could be replaced and the vehicle with lower mileage
retained. Mr. Miller commented the B Fund contribution for a vehicle could be frozen. He cautioned
although the funds for the contribution would be saved, it was anticipated repair costs would increase due
to retaining the vehicle. He noted the intent was to replace equipment prior to the need for major repairs.
Councilmember Petso questioned whether a vehicle below its anticipated mileage and/or in good
condition could be retained thereby saving money from the General Fund. Mr. Miller answered this has
been done in the past when a vehicle was in better condition then anticipated at the end of its replacement
cycle.
Councilmember Petso asked whether the list of vehicles represented a carefully reviewed list based on
that criteria or whether the list represented all vehicles scheduled for replacement this year. Mr. Miller
advised the list was compiled based on discussion between the Fleet Manager and Department Directors.
Councilmember Petso asked how many vehicles were retained for one more year. Mr. Miller advised all
vehicles were reviewed to determine whether another year's use would be prudent and based on the Fleet
Manager and mechanics opinion, it was preferable to replace the vehicles to avoid major repairs in the
near future.
Councilmember Petso asked whether there were any vehicles retained for an additional year. Mr. Miller
answered he would need to research this. Mayor Haakenson advised a decision was made not to replace
several vehicles during the decision package process.
Mayor Haakenson explained as most knew, I-747 had been approved by the electorate on November 6.
This measure limits property tax increases to 1% per year unless approved by voters which has
consequences on the preliminary 2002 budget. Mayor Haakenson explained the 2002 budget as well as
5-year projections were based on a 3% property tax increase. Each 1% of property tax assessment
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
November 13, 2001
Page 6
represents $70,000 in revenue; therefore, a loss of 2% equates to $140,000 per year in reduced revenue.
This amount compounds over a five-year period to over $1 million. He distributed a revised 5-year
forecast which illustrates the 5-year General Fund outlook before I-747 and now. He recalled during his
budget message he indicated he was comfortable with the next 3-4 years of the 5-year projection but the
fifth year had a severe deficit that needed attention. With the loss of revenue due to the passage of I-747,
the City now only has 1-2 years that he felt were financially comfortable. He pointed out the fifth year
was now over $1 million more in deficit than it was previously.
Mayor Haakenson recalled in his budget message he challenged the Council Finance Committee to study
new revenue sources and clearly that need is even more important now. He also requested the Public
Safety Committee study the service delivery of paramedic service, noting this service has added over
$200,000 to the preliminary 2002 budget. He noted there were other options that may require study.
Mayor Haakenson explained the Directors and he met this morning to brainstorm ideas about the 2002
budget and future budgets. He noted many of the items discussed were similar to those discussed by
individuals in their personal budgets — how to pay higher utility cost, where to cut spending, what could
be done without. He noted many topics were discussed and none were very appealing, all resulting in
some type of service loss to citizens. He pointed out 70% of the General Fund expense was salaries and
benefits for the City's 268 employees. He said if the City was to balance the budget in five years, the
City must answer the challenge to identify new revenue sources and also reduce expenses. He said the
only way to reduce expenses was to reduce the workforce. He said when that occurred, the City would
also reduce service levels.
Mayor Haakenson explained at the close of this morning's meeting, he asked the Directors to provide a
list of two positions they would cut from their departments if asked and to identify which program they
would cut first if asked. He also asked Directors to identify the consequences of those actions, the loss to
residents. After studying the Directors' lists, he reached the following conclusion: the Council should
accept the preliminary 2002 budget as proposed with some minor changes he planned to outline in the
days ahead. I-747 affects the future much more intensely than the budget for 2002. The only real change
to the 2002 budget as a result of I-747 is a reduction in the property tax from 3% to 1% and the resulting
loss of $140,000 in revenue. Mayor Haakenson said the 2002 budget as presented was and is a good
budget and any new positions or studies in the budget were warranted and would provide better customer
services to citizens.
Mayor Haakenson explained although he could provide a list of budget cuts, he did not feel that was the
prudent thing to do. He requested the Council allow him to take the time to study each department and
determine where budget cuts could be made for the 2003 budget. He noted budget cuts translated into
lost positions; to properly determine which positions would require time. He said this study could occur
simultaneously with the two studies by the Council committees. He expected by mid-2002, a plan could
be in place for the 2003 preliminary budget, hopefully with new revenue services, paramedic services
that were fiscally and medically responsive, and identification of positions to be eliminated. Mayor
Haakenson summarized this would result in a 5-year scenario that was not dependent on property taxes.
He assured this would be a painful process and service levels would be reduced.
Councilmember Petso inquired through what year state funding was anticipated. Mayor Haakenson
explained it was the same as in the budget book, 2002 and 2003.
Councilmember Petso asked how much remaining cash balance was needed for a cash flow reserve or
whether there was a liquidity reserve elsewhere. Ms. Hetzler said her preference was two months
expenditures in reserve, approximately $2 million in the General Fund, although this rarely occurred.
Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes
November 13, 2001
Page 7
She explained if an occasion arose where the City were in a cash flow bind, the City could borrow from
other funds' cash (which are pooled into one investment pool) if short term liquidity needs arose.
Council President Earling requested further discussion regarding this item be scheduled on next week's
agenda.
Councilmember Petso recalled Council President Earling requested Councilmembers submit proposed
changes to the budget by November 9. She developed a number of proposed cuts and urged Mayor
Haakenson to consider her suggestions. She opposed accepting Mayor Haakenson recommendation
regarding the 2002 preliminary budget until she received a response to her suggestions.
Council President Earling said Council requests for budget increases as well as decreases are being
compiled and will be forwarded to the Council and Mayor in the next few days. Mayor Haakenson
advised he had not seen Councilmember Petso's proposed changes. He anticipated the discussion
regarding her suggestions would occur during a budget workshop.
MAYOR AND COUNCIL COMMENTS
Mayor Haakenson congratulated Councilmember Marin and Councilmember Plunkett as well as Ms.
Dawson and Mr. Wilson on their victories in the election.
Council President Earling congratulated Student Representative Meredith Storey who swam in a state
swim meet and whose relay team placed fourth in the conciliation finals.
