2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
COUNCILMEMBER PETSO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON, TO
MODIFY THE AGENDA BY MOVING ITEMS 6E AND 6F TO THE BEGINNING OF ITEM 6.
Councilmember Petso explained both items contemplate public comment; by long standing practice, the
Council has public comment at the beginning of the meeting.
Council President Fraley-Monillas explained those items were scheduled toward the end of the meeting
because of the number of other items on the issue that need to be addressed and public comment taken
such as the budget.
Councilmember Petso preferred to observe the traditional order; there is no reason the people in the
audience should have wait around to hear about Item 6A, Council Update on AV in Council Chambers
unless they want to. She suggested addressing the items the public was present for and then moving on to
the other items of importance.
Councilmember Bloom agreed with Councilmember Petso’s suggestion. If the Council does not agree to
move those items and they occur at the end of the meeting, she suggested audience members present to
speak on either of those items feel free to comment during Audience Comment.

Councilmember Buckshnis said she will support the motion only because the Council has heard from
many of the audience members already and she preferred Audience Comment be exclusive of Items 6E
and 6F. She also did not think audience members should have to sit through the update regarding AV
equipment.

MESAROS, NELSON AND PETSO VOTING YES; AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-
MONILLAS AND COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON VOTING NO.

4. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Mayor Earling explained only this is an opportunity for public comment on items other than Items 6E and
6F.
Mike Schindler, Edmonds, speaking as the Chair of Economic Development Commission (EDC),
explained he was honored to be selected as the Chair of the EDC and takes the position as facilitator,
leader and encourager very seriously. He strongly believes in the 17 member EDC and the diverse
knowledge and experience they bring to the City and its leaders. As the Council wrestles with the value
and importance of having 17 voices from which to birth ideas or validate the merits of an idea or plan, he
encourages commissioners to take an active role in sharing with the Council and others in their sphere of
influence the important role the EDC plays in shaping the economic engine of Edmonds. He cited the
importance of Town Hall meetings and public input; the 17 members of the EDC appointed by elected
officials meet monthly to discuss topics relevant to every citizen in Edmonds who is concerned with the
economic sustainability of the City. He was confident the Council will extend the EDC.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented he was at tonight’s meeting regarding the crumb rubber issue
but there were other issues he was interested in and was missing tonight’s debate. He recalled speaking to
the Council last week about a Snohomish County public hearing regarding changes that could occur in
Esperance and Pt. Wells with regard to multi-family building heights of up to 70 feet, setbacks, etc.
Although it was his understanding it was now too late to comment, he requested the Council direct the
Council President or staff to contact Snohomish County anyway to inform them the City wants to be
involved in the zoning of in this County island. He suggested development in Esperance be consistent
with development in Edmonds.
5. ACTION ITEM
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 3
A. CIVIC FIELD PURCHASE
Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite relayed a recommendation for the City Council to authorize the
Mayor to execute and implement the purchase and sale agreement for Civic Field with the Edmonds
School District. She explained Civic Center is an 8-acre site owned by the Edmonds School District and
leased by the City. Its central downtown location is surrounded by condos, townhomes and high density
living and one block from the downtown shopping area. It is used by thousands of citizens throughout
year and is the only large parcel park within walking distance for downtown residents and that can host
large community events. Civic Field currently provides the only skate park, the only pètanque courts, the
only downtown tennis courts and the only walking track in Edmonds, highly utilized by local youth
teams, running clubs, adults and condo dwellers.
She displayed several photographs of activities and events at Civic Field, explaining in addition to daily
use, this site is also home to the SnoKing Sports Program and the Edmonds Boys & Girls Club and over
4,500 athletes per year practice and play in leagues at this site. This site is also the only large gathering
area in Edmonds and is used to host large community gatherings; events include the Taste of Edmonds,
4th of July celebration, Youth Circus and regional pètanque tournaments.
The acquisition of Civic Field is contained in the Comprehensive Plan, the Parks, Recreation and Open
Space (PROS) Plan and in the recently adopted Strategic Plan. It has been present in the PROS Plan for
the past 25 years and has been a high priority for the City for a long time. In addition to support in all the
planning elements of the City, when the PROS Plan was updated recently, all the public comment and the
random sample telephone survey identified the acquisition of Civic Field as a top priority.
The appraisal of the property valued it at $2.5 million for 6 acres. There were no found records of any
street vacations on this site; however, both Edmonds and Sprague Streets are shown to have previously
run through the parcel. The appraiser recognized this and valued the site at 6 acres instead of 8 acres. The
negotiated purchase price with Edmonds School District is $1.9 million. The School Board still needs to
finalize this but a tentative agreement has been reached with the administration.
The City applied for and received two sources of grant funds: a 50% matching grant of up to $1 million
from Washington State Recreation Conservation Office, $500,000 from Snohomish County Conservation
Futures. the City set aside $400,000 in 2015 in Fund 126 REET 1 for acquisition and Council will need to
authorize up to an additional $100,000 to help finance the remainder. The entire $100,000 may not be
necessary; there have already been some escrow fees, appraisals, survey work, the phase 1 environmental
is proceeding now and there will be some closing fees.
Upon closing of this transaction, both the Recreation Conservation Office and Snohomish County
Conservation Futures require the City to record a deed of right or conservation easement that limits the
property to park use. Because the City already owns two acres, the deed of right will only be required for
six acres of the parcel. The City is negotiating with the State and Snohomish County to determine the
viability of concentrating these two unrestricted acres on the west side of the property where the current
Boys & Girls Club is located.
COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS,
THAT THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE PURCHASE AND
SALE AGREEMENT AND CONTINUE THE NEGOTIATIONS AS STATED. MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Hite invited Mayor to sign the agreements now. Mayor Earling invited Council for a photo
opportunity as they have been actively engaged in this project as well as Ms. Hite who has been the driver
of this project. He commented the negotiations with the School District have been upfront and candid and
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 4
there has been give and take by all parties; it has been a pleasure to work with the School District on this
project.
Ms. Hite recognized Mayor Earling for his efforts. She referred to an August 29, 2013 unauthorized
Council resolution that states, “Whereas the City of Edmonds is interested in purchasing and renovating
Civic Stadium in downtown Edmonds, and whereas the City of Edmonds recognizes this property as a
valuable community asset; now therefore the Parks Department accepts this first dollar to be used for the
purchase of this downtown community asset, donated by Mayor David O. Earling. She displayed a
framed photo of Civic Stadium and the dollar bill
6. STUDY ITEMS
E. PROPOSED 2016 CITY BUDGET REVENUE PRESENTATION, BUDGET DISCUSSION
AND PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor Earling thanked the City Council for taking the time to hear presentations from each department; it
is important to hear about the good work accomplished over past year as well as the projects and needs in
2016. The budget message described with the hard budget decisions over the past couple years, the recent
good work that has been done and the improved economy, revenues have dramatically improved. The
beginning of the shift could be seen last year and it continues to accelerate this year. Holding back on
spending during the last year was good thing, but the City can now be more confident the economy will
hold and the reins can be loosened a bit. The budget emphasized two major areas of increase, 1) catching
up with needs such as deferred projects, equipment replacement, aging infrastructure and much needed
maintenance on buildings and equipment, and 2) staffing needs. The City’s staffing levels are among the
lowest per capita in the Puget Sound Area. From public safety to accounting to custodial to development
services, the City needs strategic staff growth. Staff and he have spent countless hours carefully analyzing
the City’s needs; directors have worked hard to prioritize their department needs and often compromised
among themselves to deliver the budget. Staff and he look forward to working with Council to draw the
process to a conclusion.
Finance Director Scott James provided a revenue overview:
• Economic environment
o The Puget Sound economy continues to be one of the healthiest in the country
o Home values continue to increase and housing sales remain healthy
o For 2016, we anticipate stable, modest growth and moderating over the next few years
• Economic Environment benefits
o The revenue picture for Edmonds will continue to improve in 2016 because of:
Strong demand to live in Edmonds
Increasing property values
Strong real estate sales
Low unemployment rates
“Pretty darn hopeful”
Mr. James displayed a chart comparing unemployment rates in Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Washington
and national January 2005 to September 2014, concluding the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue unemployment
rate has been trending significantly better than national unemployment rates. He reviewed several

• Revenue Trend Analysis FY 2012 – FY 2016 (All Funds)
• Revenues Trend Analysis FY 2012 – FY 2016 (All Funds)
• Revenues by type pie chart (All Funds)

He reported 2015-2016 comparison of General Fund Revenues:
• 2015 Year-end General Fund revenue estimates are 1.6% or $606,000 over 2015 budgeted
revenues
o Majority from sales tax revenues
• 2016 budgeted revenues are $1.7 million or 4.6% higher than estimated 2015 revenues
He reviewed charts related to the General Fund:
• Revenue Trend Analysis Comparison of Revenues by Type FY 2012 – FY 2016 (General Fund)
• Revenue Trend Analysis 2012-2016 (General Fund)
Mr. James identified General Fund key revenues:

Further information regarding property tax and EMS levy will be provided at next week’s public hearing
on the 2016 property tax levy. Mr. James reviewed graphs regarding:
• Sales Tax
o 2016 sales tax anticipated to decline slightly as a major project in 2015 will not be repeated
• Motor Fuel Tax Revenue
o Very little change between years
• REET Revenue
o 2015 budget anticipated gain of $330,000 over 2014
o As of September 2015, over $2.1 million in REET revenue has been received
Public Comment
Mayor Earling advised public comment will be taken at several more meetings before the budget is
adopted.
Joe Scordino, a retired fisheries biologist and volunteer with Edmonds-Woodway High School, recalled
the presentation to the Council last month from Students Saving Salmon Club at Edmonds-Woodway
High School that described a water monitoring program they have implemented in Edmonds. The City
Council responded favorably and there was a mention of possible funding. The water quality program is a
volunteer, citizen science program comprised of volunteers and students with no external funding other
than grants they obtained this year that paid for the high quality testing instruments and laboratory
analyses of water samples. The group is seeking funds to address unfunded needs that are likely to affect
operations in 2016. For example, to date all field supplies have been provided by volunteers, principally
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

him. As a result of a recent club fair, the number of students in the Students Saving Salmon Club will
double which is good news but they only have six orange safety vests. They could also use help with
printing and distribution costs associated with outreach efforts. Components of their equipment will need
to be replaced next year to prevent deterioration in the quality of information gathering. They would also
like to conduct testing for fecal coliform and E.coli in streams or the marsh, a human health issue. The
cost would be approximately $2,000 to collect and analyze one year’s samples. The students are
committed to providing high quality, scientific information; the Council providing a small amount of
funding, such as $5,000, would be a wise investment in the youth of the community. Mayor Earling
invited Mr. Scordino to make an appointment with him on Thursday or Friday to reach an agreement on a
proposal to the Council.
Council Questions
Councilmember Mesaros referred to motor fuel tax which is fairly flat and asked the impact of the
reduction in the price of fuel on those revenues. Mr. James answered one would think revenue would
increase because more fuel is sold; however, it is on a per capita basis so the amount does not change.
Councilmember Buckshnis observed several Councilmembers are interested in a legislative assistant for
the Council. She asked whether it was better to hire a part-time employee or increase the professional
services budget to hire a contract person. She observed the Council executive assistant is on an annual
contract. City Attorney Jeff Taraday answered the Council has a 4-year contract for legal services; there
was nothing preventing the Council from entering into a contract for more than one year. Councilmember
Buckshnis clarified her question was an employee versus a contract person. Council President Fraley-
Monillas said she discussed employee versus contract with Sharon Cates, Lighthouse Law Group, who
recommended the legislative assistant not be a City employee and have an annual contract. Because the
legislative assistant would reports to the Council, it would not be appropriate for him/her to be a staff
member as staff reports to the Mayor. Mr. Taraday said Ms. Cates does the personnel work for the firm
and he would defer to her opinion.
Councilmember Nelson referred to the National Citizens Survey (NCS) and asked whether the City had
done that before and what the sample size would be. Economic Development & Community Services
Director Patrick Doherty answered the City has done a survey in the past but he was unsure whether it
was a NCS. NCS’ website outlines a basic package but he felt the sample size was small. The budget for
the survey is $19,000 which includes an enhanced package with a somewhat larger sample size as well as
mailings in addition to a web survey and a reminder postcard. If the Council approves the proposed
$19,000, a determination would be made regarding what could be obtained with that amount. The sample
size in the basic package is statistically significant, used nationwide in benchmarking communities; he
was offering an enhanced version to provide a higher level or confidence in the results. The descriptions
can be found on NCS’s website.
Councilmember Bloom referred to an additional decision package Development Services Director Shane
Hope has prepared: $6,000 for the contract position to support the Tree Board and $3,000 for supplies.
She expressed concern with the request for a new half time planner position in view of the department
being closed Wednesdays and the code rewrite and suggested a full-time position or more. Ms. Hope
answered she was always open to more, recognizing there was a great deal of balancing in developing the
budget. A half-time employee would be better than none; additional help would make it easier to get
things done that need to be done.
Councilmember Bloom voiced her support for a full-time position for the Development Services
Department. Mayor Earling agreed with the concern with staff workloads on the second floor. The
solution was to continue the full-time building inspector next year who has been assisting this year,
include a half-time permit person in the budget as well as a half-time planner and one engineer with most
of the position funded via the Utility Fund. The goal was to address the situation and still be somewhat
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 7
cautious about the number of staff added at one time. In conversations with Ms. Hope, she indicated with
those three positions, the permit counter likely can be open on Wednesdays next year. Ms. Hope agreed
that could be done if those positions were funded.
Councilmember Johnson referred to DP #35, addition of a half-time permit coordinator in the
Development Services Department and the indication the position would enable the permit counter to be
open on Wednesdays. If that is the only thing standing in the way of having the permit center open five
days a week, she suggested filling that position immediately and not waiting until next year. Ms. Hope
said the decision packages were written including all the positions; if the building inspector position
continues and the permit coordinator is added, consideration could be given to opening the permit counter
sooner.
Councilmember Petso referred to an $180,000 transfer on page 57 of the budget book for the Public
Facilities District’s (PFD) debt service, noting the amount has been the same for 2015 and 2014 although
there have been hefty increases in sales tax revenue. She recalled anticipating the PFD would need less
help from the City to pay their debt service obligations as sales tax revenue rebounded. She has requested
data regarding sales tax revenues for past three years from Executive Director Joe McIalwain and Mr.
James. Mr. McIalwain indicated he will provide that information tomorrow. Mr. James agreed the budget
includes $180,000 for that debt service as a placeholder. Mr. McIalwain recently indicated the amount
will be substantially less, $125,000 instead of $180,000, which he shared with Councilmember Petso, the
Council liaison to the PFD.
Councilmember Petso asked whether the request for $125,000 is for 2015 or 2016. Mr. James answered it
is for the bond payment due in later this month. Mr. McIalwain is expecting the amount will decrease
again in 2016 to approximately in $120,000.
Councilmember Mesaros recalled the 5-year revenue projection provided earlier in 2015 did not look very
good due to a shortfall in revenues compared to expenses and a deficit was likely. He asked whether a
new 5-year projection had been prepared in view of the improved economy and increased revenues. Mr.
James answered revenues are up $1 million for the year; the strategic outlook illustrates 2016 balances are
up approximately $1 million over 2015. That will be drawn down in part due to increasing Fire District 1
(FD1) costs and additional employees. One of the reasons for the optimism in the Mayor’s budget
message is sales tax continues to outperform expectations, REET revenues are up and building permits
are up. If the one large project is deducted from sales tax, even building permits are experiencing a nice
increase, good signs overall.
Councilmember Mesaros asked what the City’s finances look like in 2020. Mr. James referred to page 13
in the budget book that shows the ending fund balance decreasing from an estimated $9.9 million this
year to $2.5 million in 2020. Projections get fuzzier in later years.
Councilmember Buckshnis observed staff is still working on the FD1 contract, recalling last year funds
were taken from the risk management reserve to provide additional funds to FD1. She asked whether the
risk management reserve had been replenished and what the plan was to make FD1 payments in the
future. Mr. James explained in the last quarter of 2014 the City received a $1.6+ million bill from FD1;
negotiations with FD1 reduced the amount by approximately $67,000 as well as allowed the City to pay
half in 2015 and half in 2016. In 2016 an additional $802,000 was added to ongoing costs as well as
$802,000 in 2017. The Council approved a decision package to hire a consultant to negotiate better terms
with FD1. Following an interview process conducted by the City Attorney, Mayor Earling and three
Councilmembers, Fitch and Associates was selected; meetings are scheduled with Fitch and Associates in
December to review their initial analysis, Q&A and return to Council with a full report regarding options.
The goal is to determine ways to negotiate more favorable terms but continue providing the stellar levels
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 8
of emergency service that citizens expect. Mayor Earling advised the three Councilmembers are
Buckshnis and Petso and Council President Fraley-Monillas.
Councilmember Nelson expressed interest in more traffic enforcement, specifically an additional traffic
enforcement officer. He observed the Police Department budget currently includes four full-time traffic
enforcement officers and asked if that number has been the same over the last decade or has it fluctuated.
Police Chief Al Compaan responded for several years there was a sergeant and two motorcycle officers;
at some point two traffic officers were added to conduct nighttime traffic enforcement with an emphasis
on DUIs. The current budgeted staffing is four plus the sergeant; one position is currently open due to a
retirement but a new officer is being trained and will be on his own soon.
Councilmember Nelson observed there are two nighttime traffic officers primarily dedicated to DUI
enforcement, and two dedicated to speed and other traffic enforcement. Chief Compaan assured the
nighttime traffic cars conduct other enforcement in addition to DUI. The primary focus of the two
motorcycle officers who work primarily during daytime hours is traffic collision investigation and speed
and rules of the road enforcement. Councilmember Nelson asked whether an additional traffic
enforcement officer would be beneficial to the Police Department. Chief Compaan said he would not turn
down additional staff; certainly the department could make use of the position, but he has other requests
that need to be discussed.
Councilmember Bloom referred to DP #45, Waterfront Access At-Grade Crossing Study $450,000. She
recalled the Council allocated $100,000 in 2015 and questioned whether the decision package was a
request for an additional $450,000. Public Works Director Phil Williams answered $450,000 is the
expense budget for that study in 2016; of that amount $383,000 will come from the legislative
appropriation and the balance of $67,000 from the previously approved $100,000. Councilmember Bloom
relayed her understanding $450,000 is the total amount for next year. Mr. Williams agreed.
Councilmember Johnson referred to DP #9; the narrative describes intent to engage in an RFQ process for
prosecution services for the Municipal Court. She asked who will do that work and whether it would
require additional funds. Ms. Hite answered funds are included in the budget for a public defense
supervisor; his scope of work would include working with the police department, prosecutor and public
defender on court efficiencies that may be achieved. There are also funds in the professional services
budget, not part of the decision package, to hire someone to assist with drafting an RFQ and vetting of
that process, similar to the public defense.
Council President Fraley-Monillas inquired about the projected 21% increase in Hotel/Motel Tax. Mr.
Doherty explained it was substantially under-projected in 2015. When the 2015 budget was prepared,
2014 was trending up but in an effort to be conservative, not a great deal of growth was budgeted for
2015. During the first three quarters of 2015 Hotel/Motel Tax is significantly ahead of 2014. The Lodging
Tax Advisory Committee recommended budgeting a 4% growth over 2015. The 21% increase includes
this year’s increase plus the 4% as well as reflects higher room nights and higher rates. He noted this is
not just the downtown hotel; there have also been increases in hotels citywide. Council President Fraley-
Monillas observed there are 6-7 hotels outside the downtown area. Mr. Doherty commented the 2 larger
hotels on Highway 99 are also doing better.
F. CITY OPTIONS FOR ADDRESSING CRUMB RUBBER
Development Services Director Shane Hope said she is not a scientist and is not an expert on artificial turf
although she has learned a lot in the process. Her role is to provide information and facilitate the
discussion. She displayed several comments regarding crumb rubber:
• Edmonds parents start turf war over synthetic playing fields” – KOMO News
• “Crumb-rubber turf stirs outcry in Edmonds” – Seattle Times
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 9
• The decision to use crumb rubber represents “the best and most prudent use of taxpayer dollars to
construct fields with demonstrated sustainability over time.” – Diana White, Edmonds School
Board President (email to Council President Fraley-Monillas, July 29, 2015)
• “chemical levels found in FieldTurf SBR and GeoTurf infill do not present a risk to people
playing on or using the fields with these products.” – Michael Peterson, Senior Toxicologist,
Gradient Turf Report
She explained policies and regulations did not exist at federal, state or local level to clearly provide for
the City to prohibit crumb rubber or other materials after the application was submitted. She listed a series
of questions for the Council:
• Whether to ban crumb rubber for future use – and if so:
1. Where and how ban would apply; and
2. What type of action should be taken to implement the decision
She displayed pictures of the current popular infill products, SBR Crumb Rubber, Nike Grind and
GEOTurf, and provided information regarding each:

maintenance
SBR Crumb Rubber has gotten the most questions of infill materials:
• Since SBR crumb rubber is made from recycled materials, concentrations of chemicals of
potential concern (COPCs) vary between products even among batches from the same
manufacturer
• Publicity around the product is largely negative despite the lack of peer-reviewed scientific
research linking SBR crumb rubber to health issues
• Product traps heat and can increase temperatures on the playing field
Ms. Hope referred to the following state law: “Every school board of directors shall consider the purchase
of playground matting manufactured from shredded waste tires in undertaking construction or
maintenance of playgrounds” - RCW 28a.335.300
She listed considerations with regard to whether to ban or not to ban:
• If a ban, on what?
o Product type
o Specific chemical
o Combination of chemicals
• If a ban, where?
o Projects for which the City is a funding partner, regardless of location?
o Who owns the property?
a) City owned lands
b) Publicly owned lands
c) All land
o Specific to sports fields and playfields or also other facilities such as playgrounds?

She described what others have done to address crumb rubber:
• 2008: NYC Parks Department discontinued the use of crumb rubber as an infill material in favor
of carpet-style or alternative infill after discovering lead in one of the city’s 136 athletic fields
using synthetic infill. The reason for banning the material was primarily attributed to the infill’s
heat performance
o In addition, they implemented protocols to inspect, test, and replace any existing synthetic
turf that may age or deteriorate.
o Other measures include posting public signage at all athletic fields about potential heat-
related risks involving synthetic turf and adopting stringent procurement protocols for
materials selection
• 2009: Los Angeles Unified School District discontinued the use of crumb rubber infill, citing
lead contamination at some sites and issues with melting fields.
• February 2015: Montgomery County, MD – County Council approves only the use of plant-
derived infill materials for new artificial turf playing fields in projects the county funds or
contracts.
• May 2015: California State – State Senate Bill 47 sought to ban the use of crumb rubber for two
years until the state conducts a comprehensive study on health effects. Note: SB 47 died in
California Senate Committee on Appropriations.
• June 2015: Long Beach, CA – the Parks & Recreation Commission approved a recommendation
to the city manager for the use of GeoTurf, an organic material primarily made from coconut
fiber, rice husks and cork, as the standard choice for all future synthetic field projects in the city.
• August 2015: Middletown, Community Transit – The Common Council voted to amend the $37
million bond ordinance on park improvements to ensure that the money could not be used to
install artificial turf on city fields.
Ms. Hope described other factors to be considered:
• Time -limit or sunset on any ban
• Whether ban is likely to be upheld in court
o No other cities have imposed a broad ban
• Expectation that a limit on crumb rubber could not be retroactive
• Any unintended consequences
• Any exceptions to ban
She identified key options:
1. Gather specific information and discuss before directing next action
2. Direct attorney to prepare resolution:
a. Pledging to not use crumb rubber (or equivalent) in City-funded projects
b. Encouraging partners to avoid crumb rubber use
3. Direct attorney to prepare ordinance that identifies:
a) Ban on crumb rubber? Or particular chemicals?
b) Apply to play/sports fields? Or other facilities too?
c) Apply to City-owned properties? All public properties? All properties in City?
d) Apply to all projects with City partnership, even if outside city limits?
4. Pledge (by motion or resolution) to help fund demonstration project with alternative materials
5. Decide to take no action until more scientific studies are done
She reviewed considerations if the Council chose to adopt an ordinance:
• Emergency moratorium?
• Part of development code?
• 3 or 5 year sunset to allow further review?
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 11
• No sunset?
Ms. Hope relayed if the Council decides to move toward a ban by ordinance, a sunset clause is
recommended so that any new information can be considered and the ban renewed or changed in some
manner at that time. Next steps may include one or more of following:
• Have another City Council work session to continue the discussion and come to a conclusion
• Ask the Planning Board to provide recommendation
• Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance or resolution and if possible, provide direction on
what the ordinance or resolution should cover
• Hold a public hearing on any proposed ordinance or resolution
• Make decision
Mayor Earling expressed his appreciation for Ms. Hope’s efforts to identify options for the Council.
Public Comment
David Harvey, Booster President, Meadowdale High School, parent of two active boys, said he sees see
crumb rubber in his car every day. He has coached on crumb rubber and has played on it for about 30
years including currently playing in a men’s soccer league. He appreciated the efforts to research crumb
rubber, agreeing it is a messy substance and more due diligence is necessary. Information available on the
internet is all over the board including Earth 911, ScienceNews.org, and the turf company websites. The
majority of turf companies provide synthetic, natural and crumb rubber infill. The most important factor
with regard to turf material in the Pacific NW is the use; a ban or limitation on artificial turf fields would
limit the ability for kids to participate in sports. Play can occur on artificial turf fields for 10+ hours a day
versus 4-6 hours on grass fields with 2 day’s rest as well as the need for water, fertilizer, and
maintenance. Although he understood some have concerns, he pointed out the difference between what
has been scientifically proven versus concern and speculation. Professional athletes have played on
artificial turf fields for over 30 years, from grade school to their professional careers; a lineman basically
eats the turf with their hands all the time. If there were problems, there would be more of an epidemic and
more scientific evidence. He urged the Council to look at the evidence and a timeline that would allow
more research to better understand the concerns and implications before making a decision.
Erin Zachey, Edmonds, encouraged the Council to move forward on a citywide ban on crumb rubber.
She expressed continued support for children especially but everyone should be playing on and
surrounded by natural materials such as grass and mud. Knowing the potential for this product and how it
may be used on new playgrounds and possibly new fields in the City limits, as a citizen she would feel
safer knowing alternatives are being used in lieu of toxic turf. Many Edmonds parks and properties are in
zoned critical area such as City Park and the Civic Field. Toxins already enter the waterways from runoff,
polluting aquatic life as well as their food sources and local native vegetation. Pollutants such as zinc, a
known contaminant in crumb rubber fields from their own testing of the existing fields in Edmonds, and
petroleum-based derived compounds repress salmon immune systems and growth rates in juvenile salmon
and many other species of aquatic life. One method of reducing the human impact on the natural world is
to reduce pollution at the source which could be done by banning tires on playfields. She was proud of the
Council for hearing the concerns of hundreds citizens, responding to petitions and letters, and 3-minute
blurbs of information on this topic for the past many months. She was encouraged to be part of a national
movement of awareness on the safe of this product and making better public health and environmental
decisions. She concluded with a Dr. Seuss quote, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing’s going to get better, it’s just not.”
Ruth Blakey shared a story of what happened to son who transferred as a freshman from Meadowdale
High School to Edmonds Heights. On the first day of school he was invited to play football with other
students. The new fields had not yet opened and they played on the space between the playground and
buildings. Her son has asthma and finds it difficult to be active so she was happy he was included and
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 12
wrote the 45 minutes of football a day into his learning plan for PE. A couple weeks later the fields
opened and after playing on the fields for about 15-20 minutes, he had to leave the field to get his inhaler.
At the end of the day when relaying the experience to her, they discovered crumb rubber in his shoes and
socks. The next day, instead of playing on the new fields, he was alone reading in the library. She
concluded the crumb rubber field put a wall up between her son and his ability to play at lunch. She
requested one of the two fields planned be non-toxic so her son and others can have an option. She
recognized the fields were designed to improve activity levels; for some they actually eliminate the
opportunity to be active.
Cathy Hamilton, Edmonds, commented everyone knows that crumb rubber contains carcinogens; the
debate is whether the levels are high enough to cause cancer and other ill effects; more studies are needed.
She pointed out children are particularly receptive to carcinogens because they are developing, their DNA
is replicating and all it takes is a few misreads to create a problem. She did not want the community used
as subjects in an uncontrolled experiment. Crumb rubber also impacts the natural environment, forever
removing a natural habitat for birds and insects and also leaching zinc and other metals. Zinc is
detrimental to plants and aquatic life at elevated levels. The State has labeled fields such as those installed
at the former Woodway High School as pollution-generating impervious surfaces in the 2012 Ecology
Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. Unfortunately the application used the 2005
standards; any subsequent applicants should adhere to the 2012 manual. She summarized there were too
many risks and concerns with crumb rubber infill. She encouraged the Council to attend the seminary on
Thursday sponsored by Senator Maralyn Chase as well as to do the right thing and practice the
precautionary principle.
Isaac Carrigan, Edmonds, commented he is a kid who wishes to make a difference. He recommended
banning crumb rubber. He thanked the Council for their time and those who want to ban crumb rubber.
Jen Carrigan, Edmonds, commented many questions have been raised in the City over the past eight
months and increasingly nationally. The City Council, School Board Members, Parks & Recreation and
parents who want to keep kids healthy and active have sought honest answers to questions. The limited
and turf industry-funded studies appear to state crumb rubber is “safe to use.” In response to an NBC
investigative report and questioning from members of Congress, the EPA announced yesterday that
current studies on the impact of crumb rubber on children’s health are not adequate. In addition to all that
is known about toxins and carcinogens contained in tires, the EPA’s announcement gives this community
the information and direction needed to make the choice to follow the precautionary principle, to protect
children and to ban crumb rubber in Edmonds. In addition to concerns with children’s health, there have
been concerns shared regarding impacts of runoff into creeks and Puget Sound. She provided written
information which the City Clerk distributed to Councilmembers from Washington State Department of
Ecology regarding controlling toxic chemicals in Puget Sound, the harmful effects of certain chemicals of
concern including the buildup of these substances in the tissues of organisms that pass through the food
chain, harming fish and possibly humans. Crumb rubber contains more than one of the chemicals of
concern including zinc which can kill young and adult salmon, PAHs, and fire retardants which can affect
development, reproduction and survival of many species. Knowing what we do, she said we cannot
continue to pour shredded tire product on fields and think it will not have a harmful impact on health,
wildlife and environment. Non-toxic infill options are available; she asked the Council to do the right
thing and ban the use of crumb rubber in Edmonds.
Keely Keef, Edmonds, an 11-day resident of Edmonds, explained when she was looking at her house,
she liked the abundant trees and one day saw a raven fly over. After purchasing the house, she learned it
is under the former Woodway High School where crumb rubber has been installed. She previously lived
in Seattle Magnuson where park crumb rubber fields were installed a few years ago. During her daily
walks in Magnuson Park, she noticed crumb rubber does not stay on the fields, it gets into the grass, onto
walkways, and into the wetland/wildlife area. There is also a noticeable odor. Migratory and resident

birds need green spaces; she questioned the effect on birds of ingesting crumb rubber. She also questioned
the impact of crumb rubber getting on dogs paws. She agreed open space and play spaces were important
for humans and animals; but both can be provided with less impact on the environment. She questioned
what was wrong with grass and if this is for children, they need to be taught to enjoy nature or they will
never learn to respect it. Natural green spaces are one of reasons she bought a house in Edmonds and she
urged the Council to consider a natural option.
Laura Johnson, Edmonds, thanked the Council for listening to almost 1000 petitioners who asked for a
ban on crumb rubber and for working toward providing protective measures for citizens. The EPA no
longer stands behind the safety of crumb rubber and says more testing needs to be done but it is currently
a state and local issue. On Monday the EPA spokesperson summed up the concerns, stating current
studies are inadequate and new science is needed to answer the questions about turf safety and that
existing studies do not comprehensively address the recently raised concerns about children’s health risk
from exposure to tire crumbs. She encouraged the Council to place a moratorium on the use of crumb
rubber, specifically shredded or crumbed SBR on athletic playfields and playgrounds and to further
mandate that no City funds will be used toward projects that use crumb rubber until results from future
comprehensive, independent studies have determined its safety. She urged the Council not to take a wait
and see approach; children should not be used as a science experiment. Her son would love to go back to
playing lacrosse, so she would appreciate fields in Edmonds where he could play. She referred to the
industry report from Shaw Sports Turf regarding advantages and disadvantages of alternatives and
requested the Council consider it as one of their sources but to also obtain additional, independent
information on the advantages and disadvantages of alternatives. She provided an informational pamphlet
they developed to help educate the public on this issue.
Christi Davis, PhD, Brier, said the Kentucky Department of Health and Environmental Protection has
declared there are no large scale national studies on the possible health issues associated with inhalation,
ingestion or contact with crumb rubber. Research to date has been inconclusive, contradictory, and
limited in scope. The Consumer Products Safety Commission has dropped the safe to play on
endorsement of artificial turf. In congressional testimony, Chairman Kaye has also stated that its previous
endorsement did not reflect the technical staff’s view and was a product of an unspecified political effort.
Dr. Benoit, the lead investigator of a recent Yale University study on crumb rubber, commented not
surprisingly shredded tires contain a veritable witch’s brew of toxic substances. It seems irresponsible to
market a hazardous waste as a consumer product. This is what these companies have done and the EPA
promoted it. She agreed it was irresponsible to market the product in first place and now that student
athletes are developing cancer and there is a suspicious that these toxin filled crumb rubber may be
causing the cancer, it would be absolute reprehensible to continue using this product without proof the
toxin filled crumbs are not the cause. She referred to her two children, pointing out they are not guinea
pigs to perform lab experiments on. She asked the City Council to take a stand, to tell the industry it is not
acceptable to poison children and if they want to sell products for use for children and those products
contain known carcinogens, the burden is on industry to prove the products are safe. Children’s health and
safety is the number one priority, not industry profits. She asked the Council to ban crumb rubber in
Edmonds and ban the use of City funds on crumb rubber products.
David Anderson PhD in toxicology from the University of Washington, explained he conducted research
on multiple toxins in nuclear power plant effluent so he is familiar with multiple toxins. He is here tonight
because Senator Chase, who has grandchildren in the School District, asked him to review the District’s
information including the Gradient report. Returning to the basics, he said synthetic turf is desirable
because it works in the rain and crumb rubber provides padding. He suggested simply using a different
pad. Recently Los Angeles specified the type of field they wanted, more fiber and less crumb rubber; a
new synthetic turf made by AstroTurf is being installed in Los Angeles with padding underneath. He
acknowledged there may still be some toxins in the artificial turf. He concluded there are field turf options
that do not contain crumb rubber that should be considered by the City. One of issues soccer goalies have
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 14
is they are not standing all the time; they dive into the turf which provides a different kind of exposure,
different even than football players. On fields with grass, the grass is often worn off where the goalie
stands. He referred to the Yale study that stated there is a cocktail of carcinogens, reiterating there are
other options that do not have carcinogens. He urged the Council to get back to basics, it’s just padding.
Andrew Markel, Brier, provided a quote from the company where he buys tires, “Certain chemicals
added to new tires allow rubber to stay soft and flexible longer. Over time and as air migrates through the
tire, the chemical’s effectiveness weakens, causing rubber to become more brittle and lose strength.” He
explained tires are designed to be tires, not playground equipment. All tire manufactures have an
incentive to continually improve the tires, and are continuously putting new chemicals and processes into
the tires so they can function better as tires. Even if every single turf field ever made is safe, there is still
no guarantee the next one is safe because tires manufactures continually add new toxic chemicals to their
tires to make them better. It is ridiculous to turn a product that is used for tires into a children’s product,
particularly when they contain toxic chemicals. With regard to finances, he recalled the total budget of the
Woodway fields was $4 million and the cost difference between the crumb rubber infill and the other
infill choices ranged between $250,000 and $500,000, 10% of the total cost. He questioned the cost of
guaranteeing a safer and more appropriate surface for children. The concern everyone has raised is the
potential health impacts of crumb rubber, particularly on children because not only are they more
affected, they do not have the same choices as adults. Whatever action the Council takes, it needs to apply
to where children play so it must include playgrounds, parks and schools.
Senator Maralyn Chase appreciated the Council time, was impressed the Council was engaged and
listening to the public, and appreciated the well balance presentation by staff. She invited the Council to
the Edmonds Senior Center on Thursday for a one-hour presentation by scientists on crumb rubber. She
was particularly interested in this issue due to her grandson and recognized many of the parents involved
in this issue have a vested interest in children. A bill has been tentatively drafted for a statewide
moratorium. Although there are a lot of scientific studies and precautionary statements by the EPA, there
is not an authoritative statement by the CPSC. She acknowledged children can be persuasive and her
grandson plays goalie on these fields. In her experience, the crumb rubber does not stay on the fields;
there are environmental reasons to keep it on the fields. She was hopeful there could be a moratorium on
crumb rubber until there was good, solid science. She found it ironic, people want to be green and not put
tires in landfills; instead, they are ground up and put on children’s playfields. She commented on reports
of tires illegally dumped in two places in Edmonds.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented the Council has a chance to be leaders in the health of children,
Puget Sound other waterways. He referred to the list of options staff provided and recommended crumb
rubber be banned citywide with no exceptions, included in the building code and a time limit established.
Citizens will remember whether the City Council was concerned about the public health or making the
School District feel better. He anticipated as there will be more restrictions on this product, the School
District will experience public pressure. He agreed children need fields to play on; for the coach who
spoke tonight he urged the Council to make it easy on him by finding another option for infill. He
summarized the issue is public health.
Mike McCarthy stated his opposition to crumb rubber. He said this issue started after someone came up
with the idea of turf and using tires and the EPA went along with it 15 years ago but it was never tested
for safety. He referred to the E:60 show regarding turf that reported 187 athletes, 150 soccer players, 95
of them goal keepers are getting the same kind of cancer. He suggested providing a different material in
the area where the goalies play would eliminate half the cancer cases. His research online for an organic
infill found GreenPlay natural organic infill. He spoke with the company owner today; the product is dirt,
coconut fiber and cork. The cost is $0.60/pound but 1 pound of their product covers the same area as 2-3
pounds of crumb rubber. He concluded the cost is the same and it is safe; the School District should have
looked at the study cited by E:60 and realized the problem.

November 10, 2015

At Mayor Earling’s request, it was the consensus of the Council to move Item 6C next on agenda as the
City’s lobbyist is present. Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked the difference between an emergency moratorium and a moratorium.
Ms. Hope answered typically a moratorium is considered an emergency; it can be adopted without
holding public hearing but a subsequent public hearing must be held. A moratorium is usually for six
months; it can be longer under certain circumstances, and it can be extended. City Attorney Jeff Taraday
explained an emergency ordinance goes in effect immediately versus a non-emergency ordinance which
goes into effect 5 days after publication or, depending on the nature of the ordinance, in 30 days. Often
when a moratorium is imposed on certain types of development and there is worry an application will be
submit and vested, immediate effectiveness is preferred. Councilmember Buckshnis concluded the term
emergency moratorium and moratorium are the same. Mr. Taraday clarified there is a difference; under
the GMA, a moratorium can be adopted without it becoming effective immediately.
Council President Fraley-Monillas inquired about the environmental, health impacts, etc. of any of the
other infill materials. Ms. Hope answered there are several other infill materials; she knows only a little
and could bring back more information. Council President Fraley-Monillas assumed Nike Grind would
have fewer chemicals than tires. Ms. Hope agreed that would be the assumption because it was processed
for human wear versus a byproduct of another product. Council President Fraley-Monillas asked the
environmental impact of SBR, Nike Grind and GEOTurf. Ms. Hope answered not a huge amount is
know; tires, especially used tires, have been exposed to a lot more chemicals and toxins than Nike Grind
and other materials. Nike Grind or an equivalent is also not a pollution generating material Council
President Fraley-Monillas asked whether stormwater runoff from a field with Nike Grind would include
chemicals. Ms. Hope answered there are chemicals in nearly everything but it would not have the same
level of chemicals as used tires. Council President Fraley-Monillas appreciated Ms. Hope’s work on the
presentation; it provided very objective information.
Councilmember Mesaros observed Ms. Hope’s presentation referred to State law that requires every
school board of directors shall consider the purchase of playground matter manufactured from shredded
waste tires and asked how that would impact the Council’s decision. Mr. Taraday answered not at all.
Councilmember Mesaros referred to a letter the City Council and the Mayor received from Perkins Coie
representing the Edmonds School District with regard to a crumb rubber ban. Mr. Taraday said he has
seen the letter but has not had an opportunity to scrutinize it. Councilmember Mesaros looked forward to
Mr. Taraday’s opinion before the Council made its decision. Councilmember Mesaros recalled the City
Council took a leadership role in banning plastic bags in the City. He asked whether the City had imposed
any other bans via ordinance. Mr. Taraday did not recall any; pointing out whether other cities have done
it before is not the test the courts will apply.
Councilmember Johnson observed the information presented tonight addresses primarily infill. There are
other components to artificial turf that include the turf grass itself and the underlayment and padding
which is typically also made from tires. One of options she wanted staff to consider was a resolution
affirming that only natural grass and earthen materials would be used for sports fields in Edmonds.
Natural systems are the safest and the best for environment although she acknowledged there were
components to natural systems as well. She did not think there was 100% agreement regarding which was
the best playing field which was why the Mariners have grass and the Seahawks have artificial turf.
Councilmember Petso asked whether Councilmember Johnson meant resolution or ordinance.
Councilmember Johnson answered she said resolution but perhaps she did not mean that. Councilmember
Petso inquired about the effect of a resolution versus an ordinance. Mr. Taraday answered ordinances are
laws; resolutions are policies. Resolutions are used to establish policy for internal City purposes such not
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 16
spending City funds on crumb rubber. If the Council wanted to affect other parties’ behavior, an
ordinance would be required.
Councilmember Petso expressed support for an emergency ordinance to provide the advantage of it taking
immediate effect and then going to the Planning Board. If the Council moves forward with an ordinance,
the typical path would be for the matter to go to the Planning Board for several months before they
provide a recommendation.
Councilmember Johnson said she did mean a resolution; she preferred a policy for only City owned
property. The ability to affect change on private property is limited and it is too late to make any changes
with regard to existing crumb rubber fields.
Councilmember Petso agreed at this point it would be difficult make changes to newly redone fields but
she suggested an ordinance apply to new and substantially renovated fields. This would prevent additional
tire dumps on public property but would allow the fields that were just installed to run their natural 10-
year course absent scientific reasons that would require the crumb rubber to be vacuumed up. She
recommended the ban apply to public properties. If the Council chose a 3-year sunset, there would be
time for a great deal of new science to inform the Council’s decision.
Councilmember Mesaros asked Councilmember Petso her definition of public property. Councilmember
Petso answered it would be land owned by a public entity including the City, the School District, the Port,
the Hospital District and various public entities.
Council President Fraley-Monillas suggested getting more information regarding field options,
recognizing there were more than just the three Ms. Hope described. Ms. Hope agreed there were several
others; she could gather information for future discussion. Council President Fraley-Monillas suggested
hiring a person to work for the City to provide that information, not someone who reports to the School
District, Verdant, etc.
Councilmember Buckshnis said an emergency ordinance was not needed as she did not consider this an
emergency. The Council agrees about crumb rubber and needs to be pragmatic about it. If the City
decided to ban crumb rubber, the City could no longer partner with the School District and Lynnwood on
the Meadowdale fields. She recommended the Council consider all alternatives. Although the City may
not want crumb rubber, it is the School District’s property. She felt it was an inappropriate application of
democracy for the City to ban the School District’s use of crumb rubber and the result may be the City
does not have any fields for citizens’ use. She was in favor of a moratorium, an ordinance or a resolution
but not on all public property.
Councilmember Bloom agreed wholeheartedly with Councilmember Petso that a ban should be on all
public property. She pointed out the School District does not own the property; it belongs to the public
because the School District is supported by the taxpayers and the Council has every right to regulate all
public and private property within the City’s jurisdiction. She did not recommend the City regulate the
use of crumb rubber on private property at this point but supported a ban on the use of crumb rubber on
all public property. She supported adopting an emergency ordinance to allow the process to begin
immediately and to have it expedited through the Planning Board so that regulations could be in place as
soon as possible. With regard to further research regarding organic alternatives, she said that was beside
the point; the Council has a great deal of information and can easily get more. Directing staff to gather
information would just delay what the Council must do, ban crumb rubber for the safety and health of
children.
Council President Fraley-Monillas commented if the School District property belonged to the public, why
hadn’t the public stopped the School District from putting crumb rubber on the fields. She expressed
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 17
concern with government interfering with private property rights, whether it was individual citizens, the
Hospital District, etc. She would not allow her child to play on crumb rubber; that is a choice as a parent
she can make. Because of her concern with interfering with private property rights, she will vote for
property rights but would support a ban on crumb rubber on all City property due to the unknowns. She
pointed out there are citizens who have turf in their yards. She looked forward to what the EPA says, Ms.
Chase’s bill and what the state decides, but until then she was opposed to banning crumb rubber on any
property other than City-owned property.
Councilmember Nelson asked what latitude Council had in exercising its police powers to protect the
health and safety of citizens. Mr. Taraday answered the City has very broad police power authority; he
referred to Article 11 Section 11 of the Washington State Constitution that allows the city to make and
enforce within its limits all such local police, sanitary and other regulations that are not in conflict with
general laws; RCW 35a.01.010 gives the City the broadest powers of local self-government consistent
with the constitution of the state. That has been interpreted very broadly in a number of instances; there is
no case law locally or nationally with regard to the ability to ban crumb rubber but he believed the City
had the power to do that if it wanted to.
Councilmember Mesaros commented he was not a fan of crumb rubber and did not think there was a
place for it in the City but he was concerned with the Council overreaching it bounds and jeopardizing the
City’s assets. He was interested in Mr. Taraday comments regarding the letter from the School District’s
attorney. There is still debate about crumb rubber and although he preferred to fall on the side of caution,
a moratorium seems to be the right path so that that debate can occur to determine if the anticipated cause
and effect is true. He was in favor of a moratorium on the use of crumb rubber in the City to the fullest
extent that can be done and not jeopardize the City’s position in any future liability.
Councilmember Bloom expressed support for Councilmember Johnson’s resolution to use only grass on
future fields grass. She suggested a ban and a resolution regarding the use of grass could be done
simultaneously. She was hopeful Mr. Taraday would return soon with draft ordinances for Council
discussion, perhaps next week.
Student Representative Girouard said grass fields would be somewhat realistic for City property as there
are no City fields with turf and would show good leadership. She viewed a ban on crumb rubber as a long
term issue because the field at Edmonds-Woodway High School was just replaced. The Edmonds-
Woodway High School field is used by schools through the School District which includes Lynnwood
and Mountlake Terrace High Schools so a grass field would not allow daily use. She suggested the
Council consider how much use the City-owned fields get.
Mr. Taraday said he did not have enough direction to draft anything yet. As Ms. Hope pointed out in her
presentation, there are myriad permutations of what the Council could do via an ordinance or resolution;
requesting he provide drafts was too broad as he had no idea what the Council’s direction was.
Councilmember Petso relayed it sounds as though the Council was in agreement on an ordinance and/or a
moratorium; the primary area of disagreement is whether it would apply to City property only or to all
public property within the City. The product to be banned would be SBR crumb rubber on parks,
playfields and playgrounds, it would be revisited in a 3-year interval, and it would not apply to existing
fields, only new or fields that are substantially renovated in the future. The only thing still to be
researched is the extent of the legal ability and/or desire to regulate non-City owned property.
Councilmember Mesaros asked for clarification regarding playground and playfields, commenting there
are many playgrounds that are not on public property. Councilmember Petso said the extent of the
coverage, whether City property or all public property would be left for further discussion because she not
heard from all Councilmembers.

Council President Fraley-Monillas relayed her understanding some playground surfaces have tires in them
but the intent was to make playgrounds more ADA accessible. She noted it is very difficult to push a
wheelchair through rocks or sawdust. She was nervous about formulating ideas without sufficient
information. Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite explained playgrounds across the nation have a
newer product, poured-in-place rubber, that provides fall protection for playground equipment. All the
City’s playgrounds have wood chips. One of the issues in the PROS Plan update last year was increasing
the accessibility of playgrounds. This is one of only products that does that and also provides fall
protection. She recalled one citizen who was very involved in that discussion during the PROS Plan
process. One of the goals is to add a poured-in-place playground in one of the City’s community parks so
that at least one park offered accessible options. She offered to provide more information on the poured-
in-place material; it includes crumb rubber but it is not pulverized and with a layer on top to encase the
rubber. That goal is included in the Comprehensive Plan and would need to be changed if the Council
adopted a ban on crumb rubber in playgrounds.
Council President Fraley-Monillas commented without that surface ADA accessibility would be limited.
Ms. Hite explained the manufactured woodchips the City uses are considered accessible; they are easy to
walk on but a wheelchair cannot be pushed on the woodchips. As many pathways as possible are provided
to/from a playground to make them close in proximity to accessible routes but a person in a wheelchair
would need to be carried from their wheelchair to, for example, a swing. That is not an issue when
children are small; the citizen involved in the PROS Plan process has a 12-year old son and she cannot
physically him carry from his wheelchair to a swing. That citizen specifically asked the City to consider
this product and she had a great deal of public support. Council President Fraley-Monillas pointed out it
would provide accessibility for wheelchairs as well as people using walkers.
Councilmember Petso suggested it would be simpler to only refer to playfields in the ordinance.
Councilmember Buckshnis suggested another study session before making a decision as she still has
questions about the infill, the timing and the impact of all the activities that are occurring and how a ban
would limit the City’s ability to provide fields for adults.
Councilmember Petso asked Ms. Hite to comment on the affect a moratorium on SBR playfield materials
would have on scheduling. Ms. Hite commented inherent in Councilmember Buckshnis’ question was
reference to Meadowdale as well as the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with the School District for the
Woodway Fields. Councilmember Petso said she was no aware the Council was specifically addressing
Meadowdale tonight, only what would be done within the Edmonds city limits. Ms. Hite said one of
options being discussed was not financially supporting crumb rubber inside or outside the City. That
would impact the project in the Comprehensive Plan and PROS Plan to continue the partnership at
Meadowdale Playfields with Lynnwood, Snohomish County and the Edmonds School District. Lynnwood
is currently taking the lead on the project as it lies within their boundaries, beginning to write grants and
put together funding to rehab the fields. The first phase is the soccer fields which Edmonds does not use.
The second phase is the softball fields; Edmonds has a robust adult softball league at Meadowdale. If the
City was not able to be at the table financially, it is likely the ILA with the School District for use of the
Meadowdale fields would be terminated. Edmonds does not play youth sports at Meadowdale fields;
Lynnwood does. The impact on the ILA with the School District on the Woodway Fields would be the
City would not schedule or maintain the fields. The fields are complete and the School District is
scheduling them and the community has access. The School District’s rental rates are significantly higher
than the City’s rates which impacts access for nonprofit sports leagues.
Councilmember Mesaros asked if the City sponsors leagues that play on the Woodway fields. Ms. Hite
answered not at this time; the City has been approached about sponsoring lacrosse and ultimate leagues.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 19
Ms. Hite was uncertain whether the ban would include programming; the City could still program and
rent the fields from the School District.
Council President Fraley-Monillas inquired about the status of the ILA for the Woodway fields. Ms. Hite
said Mr. Taraday sent the ILA to the School District and it was in their court for a long time. The School
District’s attorney finally sent the ILA to Mr. Taraday; the changes the School District made were limited
to the current fields and not any future fields. Staff is crafting language to push back on that to allow
some decision-making on future fields.
Mayor Earling summarized it appears there are still unanswered questions and more discussion may be
needed. He suggested scheduling a meeting specifically on this issue on Thursday, November 19. Two
Councilmembers indicated they were unable to attend on November 19. It was the consensus of the
Council to schedule further discussion on December 1 and a decision on December 8.
C. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF DRAFT 2016 LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
Economic Development and Community Services Director Patrick Doherty explained Lobbyist Jennifer
Ziegler will provide an overview and expectations for the upcoming 2016 legislative session which has
informed the City’s agenda. Mayor Earling recognized the yeoman’s work Ms. Ziegler did during the past
legislative session.
Ms. Ziegler described things that happened in the election that will impact the legislative session:
• A republican beat the democrat in the 31st District which reduces the House democratic majority
by one, a 50-48 split between democrats and republicans in the House
• Passage of I-1366
o Initiatives have passed in the past that require any tax increase by the legislature be adopted
with a super majority vote or referred to the people. In several instances, the Supreme Court
has said those initiatives are not constitutional; the State Constitution has a process for
adopting taxes and changing that process requires an amendment to the State Constitution
o I-1366 stated if the legislature does not send a constitutional amendment to the people to
require a super majority vote, it will trigger a decrease in the state sales tax rate. The impact
of the state sales tax decrease is about $1.5 billion/year.
o Things to watch include:
Whether opponents of the initiative who have filed court challenges will go back to King
County Superior Court
Whether there will be a push for immediate consideration by the State Supreme Court
who declined to consider it before in reference to the initiative process
Whether there won’t be a court action prior to the start of the legislative session and the
legislature will grabble with this super majority requirement
A couple senators intend to introduce the constitutional amendment proposal on the super
majority
She reviewed challenges in a short 60 day session, expecting it will 60 day session, not a marathon
session like last year:
• There is still a significant education issue and it will be a dominant conversation topic during
the session. The legislature provided significant additional funding for basic education at the
end of the last legislative session
o Upon adjournment the Supreme Court said it was not enough, there was not a sufficient
plan for how the state planned to fully fund basic education and the Court issued fines for
the legislature beginning at that time of $100,000/day
o Groups of legislators have met with the Governor and public meetings have been held on
education funding needs
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 20
• Department of Natural Resources received $27 million in their firefighting budget when the
legislature adjourned last year. They intend to request $137 million that was not funded and the
costs assessed in the multiple wildfire instances during the past summer as well as additional
funds for mitigation, preparation and planning.
• At the end of the summer the Supreme Court invalidated the State’s charter school law. Both
sides of the aisle are expected to have significant conversations.
She commented the above issues alone would be a full 60 days. In a 60 day legislative session, bills that
did not pass in the previous legislative session are still alive. She highlighted other local government
issues:
• Ensure budget issues do not affect shared revenue conversations that occurred during the last
legislative session. Monitor liquor revenues, Public Works Trust fund and marijuana revenues for
some cities
• Homelessness, affordable housing and mental healthcare issues
• Broader public records
o Legislation was proposed in the last session to allow local governments to charge for the cost
of producing records that were request for a purely commercial purpose. A robust
conversation regarding this issue is expected.
o A bill was proposed that would allow government to charge based on megabytes of data
Although the bill did not pass, the legislature directed the State Auditor’s Office to do an
analysis of what it costs to produce electronic records but the report will not be available
until after the legislative session ends so a more significant discussion regarding
electronic records costly likely will not occur until next year.
• Expect thorough conversation regarding body cameras
o More cities are hearing from constituents about interest in using body cameras
o People are concerned with the lack of standard requirements for the use of body cameras,
retention of data and public records request for the data
Ms. Ziegler highlighted other big policy issues:
• Interest in having money in the transportation package moved between bienniums
o For some funds to move forward, other funds will have to move back
• Continued conversation regarding carbon
o The Governor directed the Department of Ecology to go through a rule making process on a
permit that limits emissions
Legislation is expected related to that action and the DOE’s authority
• Minimum wage and paid sick leave
• 25-year anniversary of the GMA
o Potential to bring in an outside group to analyze the GMA and make recommendations on
potential changes
COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
MESAROS, TO EXTEND THE MEETING UNTIL 10:30 PM. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Doherty reviewed proposed agenda items:
• Actively pursue
o Accelerate funding for the SR 99 Edmonds Gateway project
o Capital project funding for Frances Anderson Center $350,000
• Support:
o Bolster resources of infrastructure investment
o Public records cost recovery and privacy
o Public defense costs
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 21
o Emergency responsiveness
o Rulemaking and fiscal notes
o Property tax growth
o EMS Levy increase
o Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP)
o Clarify and reinforce Recreational Liability Immunity for multipurpose trails
He identified items to monitor and potentially support:
• Growth Management Act review
• Human services, homelessness and affordable housing
• Fiscal sustainability
• Advanced Composites Center Manufacturing Institute
• Washington Tourism Marketing Authority
• Supplemental funding for Coordinated Prevention Grants
• Public health
• Improve Washington State’s economic climate
• Increase funding for local economic development programs
• Reinstate Research and Development Tax Incentive
• Workforce Development – Career and Technical Education
• REET for affordable housing
• Local Option Housing Presentation Property Tax Exemption
• Governor’s “Healthiest Next Generation” Initiative
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled last year the legislative agenda included support for the Edmonds
Senior/Community Center but it is not included this year. Ms. Ziegler answered $1.25 million capital
budget request was funded last year. Councilmember Buckshnis said there will be another capital request
this year. Mayor Earling agreed support for that request could be added but staff’s primary priority was a
capital request for a new roof for the Frances Anderson Center.
Councilmember Johnson thanked Ms. Ziegler for the work she does for the City and congratulated her on
the transportation bill. She observed the list of monitor and potentially support did not include any
environmental issues. She suggested issues that could be monitored include crumb rubber, Puget Sound
water quality, salmon recovery, NPDES implementation, statewide drought and climate change. She
recalled Representative Peterson was looking at issues such as bees and paint recycling. Ms. Ziegler
expected a conversation on toxics as it was one of the Governor’s agenda items that did not pass.
Councilmember Petso observed the Emergency Responsiveness item included authority to ban fireworks
during dangerous situations; she pointed out Edmonds already has a ban on fireworks. Ms. Ziegler
answered that was from AWC; implementing a ban takes a year to take effect. There were cities in the
State last year in a dangerous drought conditions that were unable to institute a ban on fireworks. This
effort would provide flexibility in the one year timeframe.
Councilmember Petso referred to the EMS Levy, observing the request was to amend the current EMS
levy limit of $0.50/$1,000 of assessed valuation to $0.75/$1000. Mr. Doherty answered Edmonds is not
specifically asking for that but if legislation is proposed, the City would consider supporting it.
Councilmember Petso asked whether transport fees had not closed the gap on the cost of emergency
medical service. Mr. Doherty offered to obtain more details. Mayor Earling said this is a statewide issue
not necessarily at the local level. With regard to property tax, Ms. Ziegler said there was not as much
conversation regarding this topic as expected during the last session but there was a significant push from
counties to raise the 1% cap to the Consumer Price Index or other inflationary approach. The argument is
as costs increase, the revenue source should also increase to accommodate those costs. She expected
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 22
conversation but was doubtful any change would be made in a short session. Mr. Doherty said both
property tax growth and EMS levy would be local options; the City’s support would be for fellow
jurisdictions considering it.
Council President Fraley-Monillas expressed support for moving up funding for Highway 99. She noted
an issue not reflected on the agenda is coal and oil trains and preventing them from going through
Edmonds. Ms. Ziegler reminded a significant piece of oil train legislation passed last session and
implementation lies with different agencies such as DOE’s rule making process that she is watching.
Because that was such a success, it is not expected that legislation would be revisited in the next session.
Council President Fraley-Monillas asked for a report on that, recalling the Council passed a resolution in
opposition to coal trains, noting oil coal trains also affect the potential increase in train traffic through the
City. With regard to oil trains, Ms. Ziegler offered to provide an update on Ecology, Utilities and
Transportation Commission’s significant rule making processes. With regard to train traffic, the Joint
Transportation Committee was directed to do an analysis of at-grade crossing which is related to the
increase in train traffic. Although there may not be a great deal of focus on that during the legislative
session, there will be discussion during the 2016 timeframe. Mayor Earling commented if Ms. Ziegler
calls indicating there will be a hearing related to a certain issue, staff will respond. Mr. Doherty
commented the legislative agenda is not every possible issue the City may be concerned about. These are
in response to things that arose last year but did not get resolved or issues that other
communities/organizations will be pursuing. Some of the things that are not mentioned will not be
addressed due to the short session but the groundwork for following session is being laid. Ms. Ziegler
provides staff weekly reports; if a significant arises, staff will seek direction from the Council.
Mayor Earling requested Councilmembers provide additional questions to Mr. Doherty who will forward
them to Ms. Ziegler for response. He also requested Councilmembers forward any questions related to the
budget to staff.
A. COUNCIL CHAMBERS A/V UPGRADES PROJECT
Mr. Williams reported there is $195,000 in the 2015 budget for upgrades to Council Chambers for
Council and Court activities. He sought Council authorization to go out to bid. The consultant, James
Diego who is present to answer questions, has been working with Facilities Maintenance Manager Jim
Sevens, Mr. James and himself on the design of the improvements.
Councilmember Johnson asked Mr. Williams to describe the improvements. Mr. Williams said the dais
will be modified to better incorporate the use of laptops and/or iPads, the audio system upgraded to be
more reliable and have higher audio quality, and new projectors, new screens, new direct view monitors
installed. He summarized the existing equipment is old, it is difficult to difficult get parts or software and
needs to be replaced. James Diego explained the audio quality will be upgraded so audience members
and Councilmembers/Court can hear better. The camera quality and video equipment will be upgraded to
high definition (HD). Streaming will be captured in HD; however Comcast does not allow the Council
HD bandwidth. Control of the system will improved with a new touchscreen system to assist operators
capturing meetings.
Councilmember Johnson commented it is often difficult if not impossible to see the projection screen and
asked how that will be improved. Mr. Diego answered each position at the dais will have their own small
screen and the projection system will be upgraded to a much brighter projector that does not require the
lights to be turned off. The position of the projector will also be moved to the other side of the room so
audience members are not cut off and there will be a direct view monitor behind the jury box to allow The
Court to view material.
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 10, 2015
Page 23
Councilmember Johnson asked whether there will be an electronic system to assist the Mayor with
identifying when Councilmembers want to speak. Mr. Diego answered there will be a discussion system
that allows the Mayor to control who speaks and for Councilmembers to request an opportunity to speak.
Each microphone will have a speaker so Councilmembers can hear what is said as well as a jack for a
hearing aid or headset. Voting functions will also be incorporated and can be displayed on the screen.
Councilmember Nelson commented the upgrades sound fabulous and asked how soon they would be
implemented. Mr. Williams answered the design and spec’ing of the equipment is being finished. A
budget adjustment will be required as it will not be completed this year. He anticipated installation of the
improvements would take two weeks to complete but it will be challenging to find time when the room
not being used to make the improvements.
It was the consensus of Council to schedule this for approval on next week’s Consent Agenda.
B. PRESENTATION OF EASEMENTS FROM EDMONDS-WOODWAY HIGH SCHOOL
FOR THE 76TH AND 212TH INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS
City Engineer Rob English explained this is a right-of-way acquisition from the School District at
Edmonds-Woodway High for the 76th/212the Intersection Improvement Project planned in 2016. The City
will acquire approximately 8,600 square feet of right-of-way along with 3,800 square feet of construction
easement. The appraisal totaled $201,200; approximately $150,000 for land acquisition, $6,600 for the
temporary construction easement, and $45,000 for landscaping and electronic sign. The School District
accepted the offer and staff is requesting approval of the documents on next week’s Consent Agenda.
Councilmember Bloom asked how the per square foot value was calculated. Mr. English answered it was
$17.35 as determined by an appraisal. An appraisal was done by a certified appraiser and because this is a
federally funded project, it was reviewed by another appraiser.
It was the consensus of Council to schedule this for approval on next week’s Consent Agenda.
D. DISCUSSION OF FUTURE OF CITIZENS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
COMMISSION
This item was moved to next week.
7. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling reported he had a fabulous time in Arizona, spending time with his 2½ month old
grandson. He reported City Hall is closed tomorrow for Veterans Day and urged everyone to thank a
veteran for their service.
8. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council President Fraley-Monillas agreed tomorrow was a day of remembrance. She reported on the
ribbon cutting of the new Edmonds-Swedish emergency room, commenting it was absolutely the most
fabulous, state-of-the art facility anywhere in the Puget Sound area and suggested Councilmembers
arrange a tour. The new emergency room opened at 3:00 a.m. today.
In response to public comment regarding zoning for Esperance, Councilmember Petso advised
Snohomish County is proposing significantly greater density and other things that are not consistent with
development in Edmonds. She asked the Mayor and Council President to consider how the City could
respond to Snohomish County prior to the County’s final decision.

November 10, 2015

Councilmember Bloom referred to an email the Council received today from a citizen with four points
related to the expiration of the Hearing Examiner’s contract at the end of 2014. She provided Ms. Hope’s
response to her inquiry: “In looking more carefully at the four statements you referenced, I believe they
boil down to the following question: Did the four year contract for our Hearing Examiner, Phil Olbrechts,
expire? The simple answer is yes.” Councilmember Bloom relayed her understanding there is an RFQ out
for a new Hearing Examiner. Given that the Hearing Examiner’s contract expired at the end of 2014, she
asked Mr. Taraday the status of decisions made by Mr. Olbrechts in 2015 since he was not under contract
with the City during that time. Mr. Taraday responded he just found about this today and has not had
enough time to fully research all the possible angles in the question. Councilmember Bloom requested he
return to the Council with answers very soon.
Student Rep Girouard cautioned everyone to drive safely, anticipating they were tired.

Council Chambers A/V Upgrades Project
Recommendation
Approve as part of the consent agenda for this meeting.
Previous Council Action
Last week the Council heard of these plans to update this equipment and approved it for the consent
agenda this week.
Narrative
Since 1999, when the Public Safety Building was completed, the state of the audio and video equipment
in Council/Court Chambers has remained essentially unchanged. The system is in need of an upgrade to
take advantage of the sizeable advances in technology over the last 16 years, and to operate these Council
and Court resources more efficiently and effectively for the benefit of the citizens of Edmonds.
The City has been collecting franchise fees for cable service in Fund 001.000.321.91.010.00 at the
average rate of around $3750/month, and this revenue stream is designated to provide the funding source
for the upgrade project. Dimensional Communications was issued a contract earlier this year to develop
plans and specifications for the project work. Stakeholders, including the Council and Court, were an
integral part of the process of developing these plans. Now we are ready to go out to bid.
The total value of the work is estimated between $150,000 and $200,000, and the plan is to use the
Municipal Resources Service Center Small Works Roster to choose five qualified firms to provide the bid
documents for the City to review. The contract is expected to be completed within eight weeks of the
Notice to Proceed. At this project budget level, it is required to seek Council approval before going out to
bid.

Public Hearing on 2016 Property Taxes and Public Comment
Recommendation
There are two recommendations for Council.
The first recommendation is for Council to make a motion to approve Resolution No. XXXX, finding
substantial need to levy property taxes using a limit factor of 101%.
The second recommendation is for Council to make a motion to approve ordinance XXXX regarding the
following property tax levy amounts.
Regular Property Tax Levy increase of 1%
EMS Property Tax Levy increase of 8.2%
Public Safety Bond Payment of $949,540
Previous Council Action
The property tax levy increase was included as part of the revenue presentation presented to Council on
11/10/2015.
Narrative
The first resolution before Council is for substantial need. Generally cities are allowed to levy an
increase in property taxes by the lessor of 1% or the rate of inflation nationally. This year the rate of
inflation (IPD Rate) is .251%. The resolution of substantial need allows cities to increase the property tax
levy by the full 1%. Property taxes are one of the City's most predictable forms of revenue and are used
to maintain the quality of various services.
The second item before Council is an ordinance authorizing the levy for collection of City Property
Taxes.
LEVY ORDINANCE ASSUMED IN RECOMMENDED BUDGET The recommended 2015 regular
property tax levy for collection in 2016 is the amount levied in 2014 for collection in 2015, plus an
increase of $99,710 which is a percentage increase of 1%, plus an increase equal to the amount allowed
by one or more of the following; new construction, improvements to property, newly constructed wind
turbines, any increase in the value of state assessed property, any annexations that have occurred and
Packet Page 92 of 416
refunds made, for an estimated total levy of $10,144,698. The recommended 2015 EMS property tax levy
for collection in 2016 is the amount levied in 2014 for collection in 2015, plus an increase of $278,598
which is a percentage increase of 8.2%, plus an increase equal to the amount allowed by one or more of
the following; new construction, improvements to property, newly constructed wind turbines, any
increase in the value of state assessed property, any annexations that have occurred and refunds made, for
an estimated total levy of $3,692,091. The ordinance also includes levied current taxes of $949,540 the
purpose of which is to make debt service payments on public safety bonds.

RESOLUTION NO. _____
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, FINDING SUBSTANTIAL NEED TO LEVY PROPERTY
TAXES USING A LIMIT FACTOR OF ONE HUNDRED ONE PERCENT
NOTWITHSTANDING A LOWER NATIONAL INFLATION RATE.
WHEREAS, RCW 84.55.010 generally limits the levy for a taxing district in any year so that the
regular property taxes payable in the following year do not exceed the limit factor multiplied by the
amount of regular property taxes lawfully levied for the previous year; and
WHEREAS, RCW 84.55.010 allows the levy of an additional dollar amount calculated by
multiplying the regular property tax levy rate of that district for the preceding year by the increase in
assessed value in that district resulting from new construction and a few other sources; and
WHEREAS, RCW 84.55.005(2)(c) defines “limit factor” as the lesser of one hundred one percent or
one hundred percent plus inflation; and
WHEREAS, RCW 84.55.005(1) defines “inflation” as the percentage change in the implicit price
deflator (IPD) for personal consumption expenditures for the United States as published for the
most recent twelve-month period by the bureau of economic analysis of the federal department of
commerce by September 25th of the year before the taxes are payable; and
WHEREAS, these provisions, taken together, generally limit property tax levy increases by local
governments to the lesser of 1% or the rate of inflation nationally; and
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the existence of an inflation rate under 1%, RCW 84.55.0101 allows
cities to increase the levy by the full 1% (limit factor of one hundred one percent) by adopting a
resolution of substantial need; and
WHEREAS, “substantial need” is not defined in the statute; and
WHEREAS, RCW 84.55.0101 requires approval of a substantial need resolution by at least five
council members; and
WHEREAS, on September 28, 2015, the Bureau of Economic Analysis published the IPD for
personal consumption expenses, resulting in an inflation rate to be used for 2016 of 0.251%; and
WHEREAS, most of the city’s 2016 preliminary budget work had already been completed by
September 28, 2015, assuming a property tax levy rate increase of 1%; and
WHEREAS, this is only the third time since 1998 that the inflation rate has fallen below 1%; and
Packet Page 94 of 416
WHEREAS, given this low national rate of inflation, this resolution of substantial need is required
to be able to use a property tax levy limit factor of one hundred one percent (a 1% increase); and
WHEREAS, according to the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual CPI-
U for the Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton area as of June 2015 was 1.6%, which seems to indicate that
local inflation is higher than the national rate of 0.251%; and
WHEREAS, under certain collective bargaining agreements with various labor unions, the city has
previously committed to pay cost of living adjustments to many of its employees based on this June
to June CPI-U of 1.6%; and
WHEREAS, property taxes are one of the city’s most predictable forms of revenue, particularly
when compared to sales tax which can fluctuate significantly with the state of the economy; and
WHEREAS, property taxes are used to maintain the quality of various services for which the city
pays including, but not limited to, police and fire services, parks and recreation services, street
maintenance services, services that support development activity, and services that are required
under state law like public records act compliance; and
WHEREAS, the above recital clauses constitute the findings of the city council that there is
substantial need to levy property taxes using a limit factor of one hundred one percent and the city
council desires to do the same; and, now therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, HEREBY
RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Pursuant to the foregoing finding of substantial need and pursuant to RCW 84.55.0101,
the city council desires to increase to the City of Edmonds 2016 regular property tax levy by a limit
factor of one hundred one percent.
Section 2. The city clerk is hereby directed to send a certified copy of this resolution to the
Snohomish County assessor’s office.
RESOLVED this _____ day of November, 2015.

Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement with
Zachor & Thomas, Inc., P.S. for Prosecuting Attorney Services
Recommendation
Forward to consent to authorize Mayor to sign this Amendment.
Previous Council Action
None.
Narrative
Zachor & Thomas, Inc., P.S. is the firm that provides prosecuting attorney services for the City. Zachor
& Thomas, Inc., P.S. approached the City in July 2015 to negotiate an increase in its fees for prosecuting
attorney services, as contemplated by its current Professional Services Agreement. That agreement, which
expires December 31, 2015, contemplated that Zachor & Thomas would submit a proposed contract for
2016 and attempt to negotiate new terms for services for this additional year, if possible. Zachor &
Thomas’ proposal for a rate increase was in response to: (a) the new requirements for defense counsel
imposed by the Washington Supreme Court’s New Standards for Indigent Defense and the anticipated
additional workload for prosecutors; (b) the City’s change in defense counsel, which introduced some
uncertainty into the prosecutor’s expected workload; and (c) the addition, in July 2015, by the Edmonds
Municipal Court of a new required court calendar every Tuesday, which requires additional work for the
prosecutors. The attached Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement for Prosecuting
Attorney Services between the City and Zachor & Thomas, Inc., P.S. incorporates a $3,500 per month
increase in the firm’s base rate (which allows for an additional .5 attorneys), as well as allowing Zachor &
Thomas to bill separately for the new Tuesday court calendar (with a cap of $12,000 for the year), and
for prosecutor services to review police incident reports for charging determinations above 125 cases per
year (it is expected that such cases will not exceed 125 cases by more than 10 cases).
The increase of $3500 per month is reflected in the Mayor's budget. The additional $12,000 is not
currently added in yet, but is being recommended by the Mayor due to the change in the court's calendar.
Because of the change in standards, and the increase in the amount of the contract, staff would
recommend that the City implement an RFQ process next year for prosecuting attorney services.

Yakima County Inmate Housing Agreement - Addendum
Recommendation
It is staff's request and recommendation that this item be forwarded to the November 17, 2015 Council
Meeting for approval via Consent Agenda.
Previous Council Action
Approval of current agreement during the November 18, 2014 Council Meeting.
Narrative
The Edmonds Police Department currently has contracts with multiple jail facilities for the housing of
both short and long-term prisoners. Jail capacities vary and at times facilities are unable to accommodate
our needs for booking prisoners. In addition, costs vary from facility to facility with those on the east side
of the state generally being less expensive, especially for long-term commitments. In order to have
additional options for booking prisoners to address capacity issues, as well as to ensure that we are being
as financially responsible as we can be, we originally entered into an interlocal agreement with the
Yakima County Jail in June of 2014, for the housing of long-term commitments. The agreement with
Yakima County is set to expire on December 31, 2015. Staff wishes to continue our agreement with the
Yakima County Jail for the housing of long-term commitments. This agreement may be renewed for
another one year period by written addendum. This Inmate Housing Agreement Addendum is attached
reflecting the amended duration period of January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 with no increases
in fees; compensation (bed rates) shall remain the same. The city attorney has reviewed the previously
executed agreement and the Inmate Housing Agreement Addendum (both attached as one) and it has been
approved as to form. Staff requests that Council approve this matter authorizing the Mayor to so sign the
Agreement addendum for continued services beginning January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.

Ordinance Amending ECC Sections 5.32.107 and 5.32.108 - Shellfish Regulations and Enforcement
Recommendation
It is staff's request and recommendation that this item be forwarded to the November 17, 2015 Council
Meeting for approval via the Consent Agenda.
Previous Council Action
N/A
Narrative
Each year, a large number of individuals visit the Edmonds waterfront and fishing pier for the purpose of
engaging in the recreational harvesting of shellfish in accordance with the various seasons established by
the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. Numerous times during these seasons, the
Edmonds Police Department responds to citizen complaints of individuals committing violations
pertaining to the taking/possession of shellfish. The ordinances that cover the taking and possessing of
shellfish, as well as the duties of police officers to enforce shellfish violations were last updated in 1993.
The applicable ECC sections (5.32.107 and 5.32.108) adopted various chapters of the Revised Code of
Washington (RCW) and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC).
During the last 21+ years, quite a few of the referenced/adopted RCW and WAC chapters have been
changed, renumbered, or removed. This has, in essence, made the applicable ECC sections
unenforceable. The amendments contained in the attached ordinance would correct this and allow
officers from the Edmonds Police Department to respond to complaints and take enforcement action
if/when necessary and when needed, cite into Edmonds Municipal Court as opposed to South District
Court.
The attached ordinance was prepared by the City Attorney's Office and has been approved as to form.

Economic Development Element
Introduction and Discussion of Economic Development
The purpose of the Economic Development Element is to state the city’s economic development
policies clearly in one place, thereby guiding local policymakers and informing the public about
issues relating to the local economy.
The chapter is divided into five major sections: Introduction and Discussion of Economic
Development, The Edmonds Economy, Economic Development SWOT Analysis, Economic
Development Goals and Policies, and Implementation.
Why is economic development important?
The International Economic Development Council provides the following general objective regarding
economic development:
“Improving the economic wellbeing of a community through efforts that entail job creation, job
retention, tax base enhancements and quality of life.”
In simple terms, economic development has traditionally been thought of as meaning encouraging
“growth.” In recent years, many communities have focused more on how economic development fits
within a general framework of community sustainability. This framework attempts to integrate
economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, social and political equity, and cultural
engagement as the constituent parts of the community’s overall health.
With similar objectives in mind economic development in Edmonds can be defined as “the city’s
goals, policies and strategies for growing the local economy in order to enhance the quality of life.”
Economic development is essential to preserving the existing level of service and attaining long-range
goals for sustainable growth and community vitality.
In general, economic development programs and activities affect the local economy by broadening
and strengthening the local tax base, providing a greater range of goods and services for local
residents, and by providing meaningful employment and entrepreneurial opportunities.
Economic development priorities vary widely from community to community, but Edmonds’
priorities have historically coincided with those of many other Puget Sound area communities,
including: creating affordable housing, adding employment, downtown and business district
revitalization, small business assistance, expansion of existing businesses, new business recruitment
and site selection assistance, community marketing, historic preservation, tourism generation, public
relations, streamlining permit processes, and special development or streetscape projects (including
public art).
While the state of the economy may change greatly as boom and bust cycles come and go with each
passing decade, these economic development priorities seem to stand the test of time. Greater or
lesser emphasis may be placed on specific priorities, but for communities in Washington, including
Edmonds, these are the main economic development activities to continue to pursue.

The Edmonds Economy
A solid understanding of the local economy helps a community to effectively guide policies,
investments, staff resources, and future plans. The following analysis provides a background of the
fundamentals of the Edmonds economy, local household and business characteristics, and their
impact on municipal revenues.
The Edmonds economy can best be understood by analyzing local demographics and household
characteristics, local employment data, and local sales activity.
Population
The US Census Bureau’s 2013 estimate lists 40,381 residents in Edmonds. That is a 1.7 percent
increase since the official 2010 census, lagging behind both the Snohomish County and Washington
State growth figures of 2.9 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively, during that period.
Of further note in understanding the local economy are the following additional demographic factors:
Average age. The 2013 estimated average age in Edmonds is 48.1 years, substantially older than the
countywide average age of 37.5, indicating a sizeable retiree population. Several conclusions can be
drawn from the relatively older population of Edmonds.
x The size of the labor force is smaller in Edmonds than a similar-sized city with a lower
average age.
x While the retiree population includes a segment on fixed incomes, the city’s higher-than-
average household income figures suggest that there is a sizable segment of retirees who
have discretionary income. Coupled with greater free time, these retirees constitute a
demographic cohort that is able to engage in leisure activities and associated spending
that creates economic activity.
x The housing stock occupied by the older adults and couples may start to see a turn-over
in the next decade, potentially providing more housing for younger adults, couples and
young families. If this occurs, it could increase the size of the labor force population and
increase demand for certain household and personal goods and services, as well as
eating/drinking establishments.
Packet Page 162 of 416
Economic Development 99
x Conversely, if the average age continues to increase, it could mean that fewer younger
families and workers will reside in Edmonds. This could have a range of economic impacts
that would need to be monitored.
Ethnic make-up. Edmonds and greater Snohomish County exhibit a lesser degree of racial or ethnic
diversity than the State as a whole or many parts of the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett metropolitan area.
With nearly 80 percent of residents listed as “white,” Edmonds is less ethnically/racially diverse than
the following nearby cities:
Figure 30: Percentage of Residents Listed as "White" in US Census
Source: American Community Survey 3-yr, 2011-2013
Households. Of the 17,381 households, the degree of home ownership (69 percent) in Edmonds is
substantially greater than many nearby cities.

Household income. As would be expected by the high percentage of owner-occupied homes in
Edmonds, the average household income levels are also higher than regional averages and generally,
although not exclusively, higher than other nearby cities. During the period from 2011-2013, the
Edmonds’ median household income was $67,228 per year, compared with a Snohomish Countywide
average of $67,192 and a King Countywide average of $70,998.
Conclusions that can be made from the preceding data regarding ethnic make-up, home ownership
and household income include the following:
x With a generally more affluent population, Edmonds residents create demand for a wide
variety of goods, services and activities. While nearby communities vie with Edmonds
for market share to meet this demand, this fact should be kept in mind when pursuing
economic development strategies.
x Edmonds’ very robust services sector (see below) provides many related jobs. However,
often services-sector jobs pay lower wages than average. Consequently, with higher
home prices and rents in Edmonds, services-sector employees may have fewer housing
options here. This may create demand for more affordable housing development.
Labor Force. Of the city’s total 2013 population of 40,381 the US Census estimates the civilian labor
force to be 21,174. This is an important figure to keep in mind when considering the number of jobs
in Edmonds. While jobs per capita is often used as an econometric measure, it is can be more
insightful to consider jobs per labor force population, which portrays more accurately the availability
of jobs for working Edmonds residents.
Employment
The Edmonds economy is diverse and includes employment in the full range of business sectors:
construction, finance/insurance/real estate, retail, services, warehousing/utilities/transportation,
government, education, and a small amount of manufacturing.
With 13,232 jobs in 2013, Edmonds exhibits a ratio of 0.325 jobs per capita. However, this equates
to 0.625 jobs per person in the civilian labor force. The substantial disparity between these two ratios
reflects the relatively large amount of Edmonds residents who are retirees and no longer in the labor
force.
The following Figure 32 provides a quick comparison of jobs, population and jobs per capita in
Edmonds and other Snohomish and King County communities. As can be seen, Edmonds provides a
relatively lower number of jobs per capita (0.325) than several other nearby cities. However, as
mentioned above, when compared with the 21,174 Edmonds residents in the labor force, the Edmonds
economy provides 13,232 jobs – a ratio of 0.62 per Edmonds worker. Nevertheless, according to US
Census data, Edmonds-based jobs employ only about 20 percent (approximately 4,200) of these
Edmonds labor-force residents. That is to say, up to 80 percent (approximately 17,000) of Edmonds
workers travel elsewhere to work. Given that Edmonds households exhibit relatively higher median
incomes, while predominately working elsewhere; this seems to suggest that the Edmonds economy
does not provide a sufficient supply of higher-wage jobs.

Figure 32: Jobs per Persons in Civilian Labor Force
Jobs by Sector
It is also of interest to analyze the break-down of jobs by sector. By far the largest single source of
employment is the “services” sector, comprised of jobs in such areas as health care, accommodations
and food service, arts and entertainment, professional services, etc. Swedish-Edmonds and the
numerous health care-related businesses in its vicinity provide a significant portion of these jobs in
the “services” sector. In summary, this sector comprises nearly 70 percent of Edmonds jobs –
substantially above the averages of Snohomish County and several nearby cities:

Figure 34: Percentage of Jobs in Service Sector
Source: Puget Sound Regional Council, “Covered Employment Estimates,” 2013
The second largest employment sector is retail, comprising 12.3 percent of all jobs. While this
percentage is generally in line with countywide averages, it is notable that Lynnwood, with its
regional shopping mall and nearby shopping centers, exhibits a substantially larger percentage of
retail jobs, at 28 percent.
Notwithstanding several major employers, including Swedish-Edmonds, the Edmonds School
District, major assisted-living/rehab centers, larger restaurants, major auto dealers and large grocery
store outlets, among others, much of Edmonds’ employment base is comprised of small businesses.
Among these small businesses figure retail shops, eating and drinking establishments, professional
services firms, personal services establishments, and many home-based businesses.
The manufacturing sector, in contrast, provides only 87 jobs and constitutes a substantially minor
employment sector, which is similar to many suburban Snohomish and King County communities.
Conversely, Everett and some areas of unincorporated Snohomish County provide a large number of
manufacturing jobs.
x Based on the foregoing snapshot of the Edmonds employment base, the following
conclusions can be drawn:
x The services sector will continue to dominate the Edmonds employment base, with
continued growth expected, especially in the health care sector.
x While competition exists from nearby communities, the retail sector provides a
significant opportunity for additional employment growth.
x The following sectors will likely remain stable: education; government; finance,
insurance, real estate; wholesale, transportation, utilities.
x The construction sector is likely to see an upturn as additional commercial, multifamily
and mixed-use development occurs throughout the City.

x The manufacturing sector will likely remain small, but growth is likely to increase in the
artisanal industries, such as food, beer, spirits and other products, as well as low-impact,
specialty manufacturing, such as software, electronics, green technology, etc.
x A substantial gap exists between Edmonds residents in the labor force and Edmonds-
based jobs. Additional, higher-paying jobs in all sectors in Edmonds would likely help
reduce this gap. Additionally, this would help increase quality of life, reduce regional
commuting, and increase the City’s tax revenue.
x Conversely, a substantial number of jobs in Edmonds are occupied by residents of other
outside communities. Additional housing within a greater distribution along the
affordability spectrum could help capture the latent housing demand of many Edmonds
workers.
Retail Sales
An analysis of overall retail sales is also very insightful in understanding the Edmonds economy.
Comparison with other nearby communities yields an understanding of strengths and weaknesses in
local components of retail sales, indicating potential sources of sales “leakage.”
Figure 35 shows the top (over $10,000,000) retail sales sectors (by NAICS title) in 2013 of the 50
sectors reporting.
Figure 35: Top Retail Sectors in Edmonds, 2013
Source: Puget Sound Regional Council, “Covered Employment Estimates,” 2013
As presented in the table, automobiles and other vehicles are the top retail sales category by a wide
margin. At just over half of the car-sales figure, the food and drink sector is also substantial.
Another important data set to consider is retail sales per capita, especially as it compares with other
nearby communities.

Economic Development 104
Figure 36: Taxable Retail Sales per Capita in 2013
Source: American Community Survey 3-yr, 2011-2013
As shown in Figure 36, the city of Lynnwood, with its regional mall and associated shopping centers,
captures a great deal of retail sales, with the highest retail sales per capita – approaching four times
the amount in Edmonds. Kirkland, a similar-sized city in King County, captures modestly more retail
sales, while neighboring Shoreline sees almost the same per-capita sales.
Even more insightful is an estimate of sales per capita within key retail categories as a function of
per-capita income, compared with Western US standards. This exercise provides an estimate of the
“leakage” of retail sales to other communities that could potentially be captured by Edmonds
residents within Edmonds.
One starts by using standards provided by the US Census, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the
Washington Department of Revenue, which indicate that the portion of annual per-capita income
routinely spent by Western US residents on the main retail categories listed below is 19.94 percent.
Based on the City’s per-capita income and population, one can determine the total income anticipated
to be spent by Edmonds’ residents. Applying the aforementioned 19.94 percent retail sales
expenditure rate to the City’s total income, one arrives at the anticipated total retail sales by
Edmonds’ residents, otherwise known as “demand” for these retail categories. By analyzing the
City’s actual retail sales receipts for these categories, one can quantify both the total retail sales
“leakage” and the relative gap within each retail category. The following figures break down this
analysis:

**Note: A ratio of 1:1 would signify a 100 percent capture in Edmonds of Edmonds’ latent
demand for that category. A ratio under 1 signifies a greater capture of market demand for a
category than Edmonds demand. A ratio over 1 signifies uncaptured demand or a retail sales
“leakage” to other communities.
The principal conclusions to be drawn from the foregoing analysis of retail sales in Edmonds are as
follows:
x Among the main retail sales categories, Edmonds captures approximately 84 percent of
the total retail sales that would be expected from Edmonds residents, based on Western
US average retail sales rates, with up to $57,929,741 of potential spending going
elsewhere.
x This figure, however, is skewed substantially by vehicle sales, because the rate of capture
in Edmonds is higher than average and the value of vehicle sales is high. Extracting
vehicle sales from the equation, Edmonds captures approximately 51 percent of retail
sales that would be expected from Edmonds residents, based on Western US average
retail sales rates.
x Consequently, there is an almost 50 percent “leakage” of potential nonvehicle-related
retail sales from Edmonds – an amount that could total as high as $125,000,000 annually.
x In addition, while the vehicle sales sector is valuable to the Edmonds economy, the
remaining major retail sectors are providing substantially less than Edmonds residents’
demand for such goods and services.

x This all points out that, given the volatility and size of the vehicle sales sector, growth in
the other sectors could help protect against an over reliance on that sector. In 2013,
vehicle sales made up 32.4 percent of the total taxable retail sales for businesses with
locations in Edmonds.
City Revenues and Sustainability
Economic development is an important issue not only because it addresses jobs, availability of goods
and services and quality of life, but also for its role in supporting city revenues on a sustainable basis.
Of the City’s annual tax revenues, property tax comprises 38.9 percent, utility tax 18.4 percent and
sales tax 16.9 percent, for a combined total of almost 75 percent of municipal deriving from taxes.
Economic vitality is key to ensuring the continued sustainability of these tax revenue sources in order
to ensure continued support of valuable city services and the quality of life enjoyed by residents and
businesses.

The following figure compares Edmonds against other nearby communities in terms of percentage
contributions from sales and property taxes to municipal revenue:
Figure 40: Percentage Contribution of Sales and Property Tax
Source: Budget documents from corresponding cities
As one can see, Lynnwood relies substantially more than Edmonds and other nearby communities on
retail sales tax, given the presence of the regional shopping mall and associated shopping centers in
that community. Edmonds and several other communities rely to a greater degree on property tax
revenues. While this is often a more stable continued source of revenue than sales tax revenue, the
State-imposed limit of no more than one-percent annual growth in property tax revenue (absent a
voter-approved levy) does not keep up with inflation and has transformed this source into more of a
revenue baseline rather than a source of growth. In the face of inflationary pressures and increased
demands for services, municipalities like Edmonds must seek revenue growth from other sources.
Additionally, in the case of Edmonds, in light of the substantial “leakage” of potential retail sales to
other communities, recapture of even a modest amount of this leakage could yield much-needed
additional sales tax revenue.
While it is simple to establish a goal of increasing sales tax revenues, it is more difficult to determine
how to implement that goal. Many cities have focused on new development because of its potentially
positive impact on both sales and property taxes.
Appropriately sited and sized development/redevelopment projects increase:
x Property tax receipts through the “new construction” provision that captures new
construction value-based property tax for the first year a project is brought on line and
adds that value to the city’s future property tax baseline.
x Sales tax revenue from construction materials and activity.
x Sales tax revenue from both personal and business spending accruing from new residents,
workers and businesses within newly developed buildings.
x Utility tax revenue from a greater number of utility customers.
Development opportunities in Edmonds are generally limited to redevelopment in the business
districts where under-developed parcels may still be found. This does not imply a need for wholesale
redevelopment of entire districts, but rather an emphasis on appropriately sited and sized residential,

mixed-use and commercial projects in key locations, such as the Highway 99 corridor, Westgate, Five
Corners and select locations in and near Downtown.
Consequently, this chapter includes goals and policies that reflect the need to accommodate
appropriate development/redevelopment throughout the various business districts in Edmonds.
Lastly, another source of potential growth in retail sales and the resulting municipal tax revenue could
lie in achieving greater energy efficiency in Edmonds’ homes and businesses. A 2010 study
conducted by Sustainable Edmonds reported that utility consumption just from electricity and natural
gas constituted on the order of $35-40 million annually in the 2008-2009 period. While that figure
can vary considerably as energy prices vary, a figure on the order of $30+ million suffices for
planning purposes. Sustainable Edmonds has further identified that through relatively modest energy-
saving interventions on existing homes and businesses, approximately 10 percent savings can be
achieved, which could free up approximately $3 million dollars in additional discretionary income
among Edmonds residents.

Opportunities:
x Location, “character” and natural assets can leverage additional economic development
by nurturing existing businesses for growth and expansion and recruiting new,
complementary businesses that seek those assets.
x Existing and planned intermodal transit connections can leverage transit-oriented
development.
Packet Page 173 of 416
Economic Development 110
x Through enhanced connectivity, opportunities exist to maximize the synergy and
economic impact of the Edmonds Center for the Arts with the Downtown business
community,.
x The burgeoning arts community can leverage
greater tourism, artisanal manufacturing and
associated business.
x Highly skilled, educated workforce provides
opportunities for businesses to locate in
Edmonds that offer high-paying jobs
x Continued growth in the emerging business
sectors of artisanal and craft producers,
including microbreweries, distilleries,
specialty foods, and low-impact, specialty
manufacturing.
x Telecommunication/technology assets can provide better service for existing business
customers and attract new business.
x Infrastructure improvements around the business districts can enhance their attractiveness
for investment and viability of commercial and mixed-use development.
x Downtown and the Highway 99 corridor near the medical services node around Swedish-
Edmonds offer opportunities for additional hospitality facilities.
x Underdeveloped sites in the City’s business districts (e.g., Westgate, Fiver Corners,
Highway 99 corridor, etc.) offer opportunities for appropriate commercial and/or mixed-
use redevelopment projects. Additional population density in business districts can add
market demand for goods and services and employee base for new and growing
businesses.
x Large numbers of workers who commute to Edmonds create additional demand for
affordable housing
x Travelers through Edmonds via the Washington State Ferry system offer potential for
greater business activity.
x Senior, more affluent residents provide opportunities for businesses related to that
demographic cohort.
x Increased energy efficiency in homes and businesses could free up discretionary income
to support more local spending
Packet Page 174 of 416
Economic Development 111
Threats:
x Retail “leakage” (i.e. loss of potential local sales activity to areas outside of the City
of Edmonds)
x Wider variety and availability of housing options and commercial space elsewhere
x Concerns over the long-term fiscal sustainability of City of Edmonds services and
infrastructure without additional significant business sector growth
x Increasing volumes of train traffic, with resulting increase in blockage of at-grade
crossings, could threaten economic vitality of the waterfront community.

Implementation
The policies in this document were constructed to provide a supportive foundation for future
economic development projects, legislation and decisions. Implementing the city’s policies will
require cooperative involvement on the part of the City, other public entities, and business and
community organizations.
As stated throughout this chapter, economic development in Edmonds could require a variety of
measures on the part of the City and other entities, including such measures as:
x Staff support, outreach and actions in support of business attraction and expansion, as
well as promotion of investment and development
x Legislative actions (such as decisions related to zoning, incentives, fees and taxes,
permit/business requirements, etc.)
Packet Page 178 of 416
Economic Development 115
x City expenditures on such things as amenities and infrastructure, and potential property
acquisition
x Actions by the Port of Edmonds to attract and expand marine-related business and
activity
x Programs provided by Edmonds Community College that support work-force
development, job readiness, job placement, etc.
x Collaborative efforts between the Chamber, City and other entities to create and enhance
a positive, business-friendly environment
In addition, as part of a larger regional economy, the City of Edmonds and its partners must continue
to work actively with regional economic development organizations such as the Economic Alliance of
Snohomish County, the Snohomish County Economic Development Department, the Greater Seattle
Trade Alliance, the Washington Economic Development Association, the Puget Sound Regional
Council, the Prosperity Partnership, and the Washington State Department of Commerce, among
others.
Strategic Action Plan
After approximately two years of work on the part of staff, consultants, the Economic Development
Commission, and Councilmembers, together with substantial public involvement, on April 2, 2013
the Edmonds City Council approved the City’s Strategic Action Plan (SAP). The plan identifies both
short-term (3-5 years) and mid-term (5-10 years) community strategic objectives, as well as specific
action tasks and responsible participants, schedules and performance measures to achieve them.
The SAP is organized into five general strategic objectives:
1. Create economic health, vitality and sustainability
2. Maintain, enhance and create a sustainable environment
3. Maintain and enhance Edmonds’ community character and quality of life
4. Develop and maintain a transportation and infrastructure system to meet current and
future demand
5. Provide responsible, accountable, and responsive government
Each strategic objective is further subdivided into 88 specific action items to achieve implementation.
Strategic Objective 1, as mentioned above, is most directly involved with economic development
through a series of action items related to general economic sustainability, marketing of business
districts, promotion of business development, business outreach and development and a series of land
use standards and design guidelines intended to foster investment and appropriately scaled
redevelopment.
Packet Page 179 of 416
Economic Development 116
However, additional action items (for a total of 22) related to economic development can be found
throughout the SAP, illustrating the importance of economic development in the City’s strategic
direction.
As mentioned above, the SAP spans action items that can be worked on immediately to those that
may take many years. Nevertheless, it is incumbent on all participants to begin the process of
implementation.
Implementation is scheduled to begin in 2015 pursuant to a Council-approved implementation plan.
Notwithstanding all the above, the SAP does not enshrine the totality of economic development
activities to be pursued by the City and its partners. Strategic economic development initiatives, in
response to the bulleted items stated earlier will need to be pursued on an on-going basis. These
initiatives will in many cases be complementary to action items identified in the SAP.
Performance Measures
Economic development is a tireless activity in pursuit of enhanced economic vitality that is often
more influenced by exogenous economic factors than local actions. For this reason it is difficult to
measure on a year-to-year basis the performance of the actions of a local agency and its partners on a
community’s economic health. Did an increase in business activity, home starts or jobs result from
local programs, incentives and/or outreach or would those economic successes have arisen otherwise
in a booming economy? Conversely, do lower sales, higher unemployment and a sagging
construction sector reflect on unsuccessful local economic development programs or more respond to
a regional, national or even global economic down-turn?
Whether or not economic success or failure can be attributed to any local actions, it is insightful and
informative to monitor the local economy’s performance and to attempt to steer economic
development strategies in response.
To this end, one of the two most basic performance measures related to a local community’s
economic health is growth or decline in overall employment.
What’s more, in its adopted planning growth targets Snohomish County has allocated 2,269 new jobs
to the City of Edmonds for the planning horizon of 2035. While job growth does not follow a straight
line year over year, this 20-year planning target provides a good index to gauge annual job growth in
Edmonds.
The Comprehensive Plan contains a small number performance measures (no more than one per
element) that can be used to monitor and annually report on the implementation and effectiveness of
the Comprehensive Plan. Performance measures, as identified in the Comprehensive Plan, are
specific, meaningful, and easily obtainable items that relate to sustainability and can be reported on an
annual basis. They are intended to help assess progress toward achieving the goals and policy
direction of each major Comprehensive Plan element. {Note: The measure identified below is
specifically called out as matching the above criteria and being important to economic development
goals and will be reported annually, along with performance measures for other Comprehensive Plan
elements. It is not intended to be the only measure that the City may use for economic development
purposes.
Packet Page 180 of 416
Economic Development 117
Performance Measure: Report the number of jobs within the City each year with a goal of
reaching 13,948 jobs, excluding jobs within the resource and construction sectors, by
2035. This would require adding approximately 95 jobs annually from 2011 to 2035.

5. STATUS OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ELEMENTS UPDATES INCLUDING HOUSING, LAND
USE, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Development Services Director Shane Hope explained the Comprehensive Plan update is due mid-2015.
Due to limited time and resources, the intent is to be focused and concise and not create a new plan but to
improve, update and modify the existing plan where appropriate. The process is an element by element
review, providing opportunity for public input, and ultimately all the elements will be considered together
along with public hearings prior to final adoption. The Sustainability, Housing, and Land Use Elements
have been reviewed so far; the Economic Development element is the next element to be reviewed. She
advised of an open house on the Comprehensive Plan update on February 25.
Economic Development & Community Services Director Patrick Doherty explained this draft follows the
same format as the existing Economic Development Element. The goals and policies have been updated
based on input from staff, a CEDC subcommittee, and the CEDC. He updated the narrative to reflect
current demographics such as income, sales, jobs, etc. as well as updated the implementation section to
reference the Strategic Action Plan. The performance measure is related to employment; Snohomish
County has allocated 2,269 new jobs to Edmonds for the planning horizon of 2035. The final draft of the
element that incorporates the CEDC’s comments will go to the Planning Board next Wednesday and to
the City Council in February.
Mr. Doherty and Ms. Hope responded to questions and discussion ensued regarding how the Economic
Development Element is implemented, plans for an annual report on implementation, revisions to the
Comprehensive Plan limited to once a year with minimal exceptions, required Comprehensive Plan
update every 8 years, examples of implementation, actions by the Port to attract business activity,
tracking/measuring how code changes affect business inquiries, how City services affect quality of life,
revenue generated by the hospital, sales tax generated by car sales, new car dealerships’ trade areas,
volatility of revenue from vehicle sales revenue, retail leakage, and available parcels in Edmonds’ portion
of Highway 99.
Approved Minutes

Packet Page 184 of 416
Mr. Doherty commended the CEDC on the great process to review the Economic Development Element.
Vice Chair Garrett asked staff to keep the Commission informed regarding the Planning Board’s and City
Council’s review of the element.
6. HIGHWAY 99 TASK FORCE UPDATE
Commissioner Rubenkonig explained the Highway 99 Task Force has been meeting for several years; he
is a newcomer to the group. A short length of Highway 99 is located within City; the hospital district at
the north end and Burlington Coat Factory property at the south and smaller parcels in between. The Task
Force discusses topics such as the likelihood of a new tenant at Top Foods and updates on the hospital
and the Burlington property. Council President Fraley-Monillas also attends the meetings.
Mr. Doherty referred to two key properties, the Burlington Coat Factory property and the Behar property
at 220th. The two uses on the Burlington property occupy less than half the site. There are plans for a new
restaurant at the corner of the Behar property and conceptual plans for the remainder of the site.
Tomorrow Finance Director Scott James and he are meeting with Carl Zapora, Verdant, to discuss plans
for their property.
Ms. Hope added the Task Force also discussed funds appropriated by the City Council for a Highway 99
Plan which will begin in late 2015. Discussion followed regarding the potential sale of the Edmonds
Conference Center, ownership of the Conference Center by Edmonds Community College, whether the
Edmonds Conference Center is required to be available for public use, and interest in having the building
continue to be a community resource.
7. BUSINESS DISTRICTS ENHANCEMENT SUB-GROUP UPDATE
Commissioner Rubenkonig reported the subgroup’s recent meeting included discussion regarding:
• Draft Economic Development Element
• Westgate and what area of the City to consider next; the most likely being Five Corners.
o Five Corners is relatively close to the Hospital District. What could be done in Five Corners
to provide housing that would be more affordable for hospital employees
• Requiring frontage improvements, roads, utilities when properties develop/redevelop
• Developing a business website
The Commission discussed how to move forward with a plan for Five Corners, Commissioners
familiarizing themselves with the UW Green Future Lab’s proposal for Five Corners, the City’s current
reactive versus proactive approach to planning, next step in the process for Five Corners and developing a
vision and plan for Five Corners to attract developers.
8. TOURISM & VISITORS SUB GROUP UPDATE
Commissioner Dewhirst reported the sub group’s February 3 meeting will include discussion regarding
projects for 2015, past activities/accomplishments, and updates on projects such as downtown restrooms.
The sub group is seeking new members and he invited Commissioners to inform him of ideas for
potential projects. He has heard some interesting things when inquiring in the community about ways to
enhance Edmonds for visitors and residents.
Chair Witenberg referred to an email from Greg Urban, Chamber of Commerce, and his offer for their
Economic Development Committee to provide a quarterly report to the CEDC to coordinate efforts.
Mr. Doherty reported lodging tax funds must be used to promote tourism, events and advertising. The
City contracted with Ellen Hyatt to assist with the Strategic Plan and this week she delivered a strategic
Approved Minutes

advertising plan. That plan and staff’s research found the need for not only a regional presence to attract
day trippers but to attract visitors from further away such as Canada. He also reported:
• The new tourism website and Facebook page have been up since early December
• The tourism website contains a new, more concise video narrated by Rick Steves
• Edmonds was not selected to host the Washington State Historic Conference in May; he will
continue to attract them in the future unless the reason is not enough hotel rooms
• An investment group is interested in building a boutique hotel in downtown Edmonds
• Cindi Cruz and Ellen Hyatt plan to a presentation to Canadian organizations that bring charter
buses and shoppers to Edmonds
A brief discussion followed regarding ability for Canadians to take the train to Edmonds, and the outlet
mall attracting visitors from Canada.
9. CONTINUE BRAINSTORMING IDEAS TO CONSIDER FOR 2015
Commissioners who were not present at the December 17 meeting suggested the following topics:
• Public restrooms downtown
• Sculptures throughout the City
• Tackle items on Strategic Action Plan
• Car rental company – Zip Car, Car-to-Go
Discussion followed regarding the Tourist Sub Group’s efforts regarding downtown restrooms, cost of
maintaining public restrooms, partnering with other organizations on maintenance, offering provision of
public restrooms to a developer as an incentive, Council decision not to fund temporary restrooms, and
inclusion of restrooms in the CIP.
Chair Witenberg requested subgroups identify what they wanted to work on in 2015 and report at the next
CEDC meeting.

Edmonds such as Marina Park and City Park. Mr. Doherty described a feature on the new website that
lists top five things to do under many headings.
Commissioner Antilla suggested a brass band competition at various parks.
Commissioner Haug explained the CEDC serves at the pleasure of the Council and direction is provided
via the ordinance. The Council revised the sunset clause once; the CEDC is due to sunset again at the end
of 2015. He suggested initiating discussion with Council, possibly via the new Council liaisons, regarding
the role of the CEDC, what the Council wants the Commission to do this year and what they envision if
the sunset clause were removed.
Chair Witenberg acknowledged the support he and the CEDC has received from current and former staff
members. He thanked Vice Chair Garrett and Commissioners for their hard work, perseverance and
dedication to economic development issues facing the community. He acknowledged the support and
encouragement Commissioners have provided him in the last 2½ years during his leadership role. He
expressed his confidence in Mike Schindler and John Rubenkonig.

Packet Page 188 of 416
Chair Schindler relayed Julaine Fleetwood was appointed to the EDC by Council President Fraley-
Monillas. He thanked Commissioners Witenberg and Garrett for their foundational work over the past 18
months as Chair and Vice Chair. The EDC has 10 months to make it apparent to the City Council why the
EDC exists, what its purpose is and what it can offer the Council and the City. Subcommittees will be
providing pulse reports at each EDC meeting; he urged Commissioners to take their positions seriously
and put in the necessary hard work. In response to his inquiry, the Council liaisons have shared their
thoughts about the purpose of the EDC. He summarized the EDC has 10 months to give the Council a
reason to keep the EDC in place.
5. COMMENTS FROM CO-CHAIR JOHN RUBENKONIG
Vice Chair Rubenkonig thanked Commissioners for serving and encouraged them to present ideas; if their
voices are not heard, the opportunity provided by serving on the Commission is wasted. Commissioners
are also ambassadors to citizens; a way to bring information to the City. If Commissioners believe the
EDC should be extended beyond the sunset date, he encouraged them inform Councilmembers that the
EDC is worthwhile.
15. PORT OF EDMONDS UPDATE
Port Commissioner Bruce Faires reported the Channel Marker is moving to Harbor Square Building 2
(formerly occupied by the Mexican restaurant) and will open in March. They are making considerable
improvements, enlarging the space and have signed a long lease. Mike Echelbarger made a presentation
to the Port Commission regarding the plans for the old Safeway property; he encouraged the EDC to have
Mr. Echelbarger make a presentation as their plans have an economic impact.
Mr. Faires reported moorage at the Port is fully occupied; there are spaces available in dry storage. The
Port and the Executive Director are members of the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau. After the
legislature’s decision several years ago to curtailed all funding for tourism promotion, a group developed
a proposal that is now in the form of House and Senate bills that would establish an organization funded
privately from all businesses in the State that are impacted by tourism; funds will be prioritized and spent
by the private organization and are outside the control of the legislature. Under the current proposal, the
State Department of Revenue will collect the funds that will be passed onto the private organization. If the
bill passes, it would initially generate approximately $10 million and $20 million in the future to be spent
on tourism promotion in the State.
With regard to the limited time to demonstrate that the EDC is worthwhile, Mr. Faires encouraged the
EDC to look at the original mission statement and criteria for EDC activities.
6. ESTABLISH MEETING DECORUM AND REVIEW ROBERT’S RULES OF ORDER
Chair Schindler relayed the EDC will use modified Roberts Rules of Order. To provide some semblance
of order and allow voices to be heard, he asked commissioners to be recognized by the chair before
speaking.
7. PRESENTATION BY DOUG SPEE ON POST OFFICE PROPERTY
Development Services Director Shane Hope explained Mr. Spee’s building is a great example of mixed
use in the downtown area and incorporates things the EDC, City Council and public are interested in. She
acknowledged it was not easy to develop a design for the site.
Approved Minutes
Economic Development Commission
February 23, 2015
Page 2
Packet Page 189 of 416
Doug Spee explained he came to Edmonds 1992, bought a couple houses on 3rd and Bell Streets and built
a mixed use building in 2001; it took him 3 years to get permit. When he learned the post office was for
sale, he made an offer and purchased the site and began discussing a lease agreement with the post office
due to their desire to reduce the post office from 8,000 to 4,000 square feet. As the development code
required commercial, his original permit was a classic mixed use in phase 1 with only the post office as a
commercial tenant. The site is very commercial on Main Street but morphs mid-block into residential.
He discussed potential code amendments with the Planning Board so that the first phase would make
more sense. After approximately a year, the Council approved three of the five amendments including
extending the designated street frontage into BD2. As a result the post office will be located where the
designated street frontage is required on the ground level and there will be ground level residential near
Bell Street where there is a more residential feel.
When the development code changes were approved, a process that took two years, he submitted an
application. Their initial design was 34 feet because his architect thought the additional height would be
approved because they were keeping the post office in the same location. When that design was rejected,
the structure was changed to concrete floors and wood on the top floor to fit within the 30-foot height
limit. There are no deviations from the development code.
He considered a hotel for phase 2; one of the hotel chains provided him their design template and work
began on a concept. When bad press spread about the design, he stopped working on it for a while. A few
months ago his architect began working on a phase 2 design that is within code; a classic mixed use
building, sharing the garage opening but with separate parking for commercial and residential, 26
apartments, and 3 commercial tenants approximately 2,600 square feet each including a restaurant on the
Main Street side with garage-type doors that open onto sidewalk. An Irish pub, Paddy Coins, is a
potential tenant.
He displayed a preliminary Main Street elevation where there is a 6-foot slope, 2 floors of residential
above commercial and an open seating area. He noted the City’s height limits result in boxy cubes; his
goal was modulation to create interest and avoid empty storefronts. This building will also have concrete
floors and cantilevered decks. He anticipated a March 1, 2016 opening. With regard to a hotel, he
reported the Hotel Group in Edmonds said he needed another floor in order for a brand name, 65-room
hotel to pencil. He provided the following information in response to Commission questions:
• Phase 1: 42 units, 850-1500 square feet, similar to the building at 3rd & Bell
• Phase 2: 26 units, some smaller units so more affordable, 700-1900 square feet, nice mix of
tenants. Did not want to do Ballard/Redmond tiny apartments.
• No water table issues in underground parking
• Main Street elevation has 6-foot slope to the corner
• Described how restaurant relates to sidewalk
• 17 commercial parking stalls in phase 1 which is more than the code requires, 24-25 total when
phase 2 completed.
• Separate parking for residential and commercial. Secure residential building and parking
• Mail drop off on passenger side
• Phase 1 will take 18 months, phase 2 will take 15 months
• Do not know who the commercial tenants will be except for the restaurant
• His next project will be reactivating a project in Redmond
• This is an example of how a 3-story building can be built within code but it is expensive
• With concrete structure, all walls are non-bearing, can change configuration within units (with the
exception of the top floor)
Approved Minutes
Economic Development Commission
February 23, 2015

Packet Page 190 of 416
• Differences between Edmonds and Redmond: Redmond allows 85 feet and provides developers
an opportunity to discuss a project with a planner to determine whether it meets code; that process
does not exist in Edmonds. He recommended the City giving planners more authority to sit down
with a developer and have an open discussion. Preliminary drawings are very expensive. Impact
fees are very high in Redmond, $10,000/unit.
Commissioners expressed appreciation for Mr. Spee’s long term view and his tenacity, and said his
building will be a great addition to the City. Mr. Spee invited Commissioners to contact him at
Edmonds2020@gmail.com or visit BUS Construction at 3rd and Bell. He summarized his experience with
City staff has great once he had a permit.
8. REVIEW THE POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE CITIZENS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
COMMISSION
Economic Development & Community Services Director Patrick Doherty explained as an appointed
body, Commissioners are all officials of the City and are required to have Open Public Meetings Act
(OPMA) training. One of the biggest issues is a quorum of the group engaging in discussion outside a
noticed meeting which is a violation of the OPMA. He clarified “meeting” also includes email and
cautioned Commissioners not to reply-all to emails they receive to avoid entering into a dialogue. He will
email the PowerPoint created by the State and he requested Commissioners email him or Ms. Cruz when
they have completed the training.
Chair Schindler explained the powers and duties of the EDC are contained in the Board and
Commission’s section of the City’s website. In June 2009 the City Council passed Ordinance 3735,
which amended the Edmonds City Code, Title 10, adding a new Chapter 10.75 Citizens Economic
Development Commission. The Commission is empowered to advise and make recommendations to the
Mayor and City Council, and as appropriate to the Planning Commission, Architectural Design Board or
other Boards or Commissions of the City on such matters as may be specifically referred to the
Commission by the Mayor or City Council including but not limited to:
• Determining new strategies for economic development within the City of Edmonds
• Identifying new sources of revenue as a direct result of economic development projects for the
consideration of the City Council
The Commission shall deliver an annual report to the City Council in written and oral form on or about
the first meeting in December of every year.
Chair Schindler advised the final draft of annual report was prepared by Commissioners Witenberg and
Garrett and will be presented to the Council in March. Commissioner Haug asked whether the report
would be circulated for input by Commissioners. Chair Schindler answered no, it will be available to
view but not for comment. He said the subcommittees’ pulse reports would be used in the future to
prepare the final report. Commissioner Senderoff cautioned against the report including any editorialized
comments that did not reflect the entire Commission’s view.
9. REVIEW OF SUBCOMMITTEE PURPOSES
Vice Chair Rubenkonig recalled the subcommittees have been modified over the years. The current
subcommittees are:
• Tourism and Visitor Services
• Business Districts Enhancement (originally Land Use and Business Incentives)
• Strategic Action Plan Implementation
Approved Minutes
Economic Development Commission
February 23, 2015
Page 4
Packet Page 191 of 416
Vice Chair Rubenkonig referred to the list of subcommittee assignments. He cautioned against more than
seven Commissioners serving on any one subcommittee because that constitutes a quorum and requires
the meeting be noticed as a public meeting.
Mr. Doherty cautioned about Commissioners visiting a subcommittee meeting due to the quorum issue.
He suggested Commissioners email staff before attending an another subcommittee’s meeting.
Commissioner Matteson requested a list of EDC members, phone and emails.
Commissioner Witenberg described the Business Districts Enhance Subcommittee’s purview: land use,
business incentives, areas that are prime for redevelopment, input regarding the Comprehensive Plan
Economic Development Element, and streamlining the permitting process. In response to Mr. Spee’s
comments, Commissioner Senderoff suggested the subcommittee discuss the role of the Planning
Department in the concept development stage.
Commission Dewhirst described the Tourism and Visitor Service Subcommittee’s role: 1) identify and
study activities and services that bring visitors to Edmonds and expand activities/services for residents so
they spend more time in the City and in the process spend more money, 2) since the EDC has no money,
identify ways to accomplish things such as partnerships, and 3) advertise Edmonds.
Commissioner Haug explained the idea of Strategic Action Plan originated with the EDC. With the
assistance of a consultant, the City Council, Planning Board and EDC reviewed information and refined
the plan that was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The City hired a consultant who is working with
the leads to identify issues, what is moving forward/stalled, etc. The consultant will provide a report next
month that will be the foundation for moving forward. The City Council also approved funding for
software to track SAP elements. The SAP Implementation Subcommittee will reflect on what the
consultant did, roadblocks/opportunity, what is moving forward/stalled and begin to assess the EDC’s
role.
Vice Chair Rubenkonig summarized the duties of the subcommittees include:
• Writing white papers
• Researching merits of new sources of revenue
• Lobbying on official and endorsed EDC proposed sources to Council
• Being an ambassador, seek out potential for new actions to pursue or merits of ideas
• Exploring ideas, determining if they are worthwhile to pursue and if so, presenting them at the
monthly EDC meeting.
10. SUBCOMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS
Chair Schindler advised Commissioners who were not previously on a committee were assigned to a
subcommittee. Commissioners interested in changing subcommittees were invited to inform Vice Chair
Rubenkonig or him.
11. THREE AREAS OF FOCUS FOR COMMISSION AS A WHOLE
Chair Schindler relayed the three areas of focus for the EDC:
• Tourism
• Redevelopment (identifying under-performing properties and assisting with improving
performance)
• Attracting new business
Approved Minutes
Economic Development Commission
February 23, 2015

Packet Page 192 of 416
The EDC’s primary goal is the economic sustainability of Edmonds – what can the EDC
present/advise/suggest that will add to the economic sustainability of Edmonds.
12. REVIEW OF COMMISSIONER ASSIGNMENTS FOR MARCH
Chair Schindler urged Commissioners to complete their assignments:
• Commissioners to identify a Student Representative for the Commission per Code 10.03
o Age 18-25 live in Edmonds or attend an Edmonds School.
o Submit student name to Mayor’s office
• Subcommittees identify their top two projects, what generational demographics they are
targeting, and plan to report in March
• Answer at March meeting how subcommittee projects will improve, 1) tourism, 2) economic
sustainability, and/or 3) attract new/retain existing businesses to Edmonds
• Speakers or topics like to see
o Chamber will make a presentation in March
• Business Districts Enhancements (BDE) and Tourism Subcommittees identify how or what
projects the Implementation Subcommittee can assist with and get that to the subcommittee by
month end
Discussion followed regarding the importance of giving the Student Representative an assignment/task
and encouraging him/her to interact with the EDC, economic development that targets the 18-30 age
group who have money to spend, inviting a high school DECA group/service group to talk to the EDC
about what is missing in Edmonds, inviting a high school class to think about sustainability and make a
presentation to the EDC, engaging the 18-25 demographic in the redevelopment of senior center into
community center via the SAP Implementation Subcommittee, and doing the legwork now for a high
school project next year.
13. COUNCIL LIAISONS’ COMMENTS
Councilmember Petso reported:
1. The EDC’s annual report is due the first meeting in December. If the Council extends the
Commission’s sunset date, she suggested changing the annual report due date to March 1 as the
Council is very busy in December with the budget, etc.
2. Citizens have expressed concern about noticing of subcommittee meetings. She read from the
Attorney General’s website: “While an argument can be made that committee may be required to
give notice only for those meetings where it takes testimony or public comment or exercises
decision making authority for the governing body, it would be prudent for committees to conduct
all their business in open meetings.” She suggested an easy way to address the issue of a quorum
and complying with OPMA was to notice all subcommittee meetings.
3. The Council will be discussing the Economic Development Element during a study session
tomorrow. Comprehensive Plan Elements are usually very general concepts; she relayed concern
the Economic Development Element seems like a work plan. As the Economic Development
Element is not a required element, she suggested the Commission consider whether to include it
in the Comprehensive Plan or to adopt an Economic Development Action Plan.
14. PLANNING BOARD UPDATE
Planning Board Chair Phil Lovell provided an update on the Planning Board’s activities:
• January 28 – No meeting due to lack of a quorum
• February 11 meeting

o Reviewed Economic Development Element
Tendency by Planning Board Members to include things in the element that would be
more appropriate for the Strategic Action Plan
The goal is to make the Comprehensive Plan general, conceptual, universal and a basis
for more detailed plans.
Discussed improving the City’s economic sustainability by reducing energy costs. There
is a growing awareness that a lot of the City’s economic sustainability is dependent on its
physical status –facilities, buildings, land use and infrastructure
o Discussed Transportation Plan including its relationship with the CIP and CFP
• Extended agenda
o February 25 – Open house on Comprehensive Plan in the Brackett Room
o Future meetings will include discussion regarding the Tree Code, Cultural and Urban Design
Elements, Critical Areas Ordinance, and continued review of the Transportation, Economic
Development and Land Use Elements
o June 10 – Planning Board public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan
16. MISCELLANEOUS
Commissioner Anttila inquired about the Tree Code. Mr. Doherty explained the Tree Board made a
recommendation regarding the Tree Code. Review and recommendation by the Planning Board is
required for any change to City’s development regulations.
Commissioner Senderoff remarked a lot of trees are being cut in his neighborhood and he wondered if it
was due to fear of upcoming changes in the Tree Code.
17. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Ron Wambolt, Edmonds, reported he attended the Council interviews for the vacant Council position.
Councilmember Petso asked for suggestions about reducing retail leakage; there were few good answers.
Big box stores in surrounding communities and the internet make it difficult for small businesses. He
noted the change in 2009 to designation sales tax collection was beneficial to the City; the City receives
the sales tax for products that are ordered on the internet and delivered. The City’s Finance Director has
assured him the City is receiving the tax from those items. Mr. Wambolt suggested items that cannot be
purchased in the City be purchased and delivered by a business operating elsewhere in Washington so that
the City collects the sales tax. In response to a question, Mr. Doherty clarified the sales tax on vehicles is
collected where the paperwork is signed.

5. DISCUSSION AND UPDATE ON EDMONDS SENIOR AND COMMUNITY CENTER
Senior Center Executive Director Farrell Fleming introduced John Osterhaug, Senior Center President,
and Alma Ohtomo, Treasurer. He recognized Roger Hertrich, Board Member and Phil Lovell, Vice Chair,
Strategic Planning Committee. He introduced Daniel Johnson, recently hired Campaign Director, and
described his involvement with Kingston’s Village Green project which includes a Senior Center, Boys &
Girls Club, Library and Community Center. Kingston’s project has a similar size budget and square
footage and with a population of 2,000, has already raised $6 million of the $8 million budget. Following
a selection process, the Senior Center Board chose Mr. Johnson.
Mr. Fleming provided the ESC’s mission, To enrich the social, physical, and intellectual well-being of
seniors and vision, To develop the full potential of every senior while connecting and strengthening our
community. He explained the community center is a gift from the Edmonds Senior Center (ESC) to the
Edmonds Community. What is unique about the development is the seniors are taking it on; the
membership very supportive of a community center.
He reviewed the ESC’s history and looking ahead:
• 1967 South County Senior Center begins offering programs
• 1971 HUD recognizes the Center as a national model for its multi-purpose approach

• 2007 Structural study finds it would be cost prohibitive to retrofit existing building ($3 M+)
• 2008 Governance overhaul empowering membership
• 2014 City of Edmonds endorses (via resolution) ESC to demolish existing building and
construct community center
• 2017 50th anniversary and proposed date to break ground/open new community center

6. SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS: 1) AREA OF FOCUS; 2) TARGET DEMOGRAPHICS; 3) HOW IT
IMPROVES TOURISM, ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY, OR ATTRACTS NEW BUSINESS
a. Tourism
Commissioner Dewhirst reported the subgroup will not meet until next month so the following comments
have not been vetted by them but reflect what has been discussed in the past.
• Areas of Focus
1. Infrastructure (downtown restrooms)
2. Building on existing events and diversifying, primarily the arts and increasing activity on the
waterfront
3. How to attract people to Edmonds, make Edmonds stand out as a place to visit, spend the
day.
• Target demographics for the above three:
1. Everyone
Approved Minutes
Economic Development Commission
March 18, 2015

Packet Page 198 of 416
2. Edmonds is located between the two biggest tourist attractions in Washington – Seattle and
Boeing – need to get them off the freeway and into Edmonds. Focus is day trippers until more
hotel facilities are available.
• How it improves tourism, economic sustainability or attracts new business:
o Once get people to come to Edmonds, how to get them to stay longer and how to increase the
number of regional visits.
Port Commissioner Bruce Faires reported on a bill in the legislature that would create a mechanism
whereby a privately controlled enterprise, using the State revenue system, will assess tourism-related
businesses and the revenue generated will fund a tourism marketing campaign. The House Finance
Committee is considering SHB 1938, the bill that creates this mechanism. He encouraged Commissioners
to contact their legislators; Representative Cindy Ryu is on the House Finance Committee. Mr. Doherty
reported the City’s lobbyist has been directed to support that bill.
Mr. Faires reported the Port has signed a contract with Puget Sound Express to operate daily whale
watching tours for 50-60 people/boat from the Port. The Port of Seattle will market whale watching tours
out of Edmonds to national and international tourists. He estimated people going on the tour will eat one
meal in Edmonds. Chair Schindler suggested the Tourism Subgroup talk with the Port. A comment
followed regarding the number of entities working on tourism such as BID, City, Port, Chamber and the
Tourism Subgroup and a suggestion to consolidate their efforts.
Mr. Doherty reported the majority of tourism related activities are covered by the lodging tax, augmented
with limited funds from the Economic Development Department. Those expenditures are recommended
by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC). This year those funds are used for advertising, support
of events, and a consultant to prepare a strategic marketing plan to identify the audience and the best way
to reach them. In addition to advertising in specific locations, the LTAC authorized $21,000 for general
advertising. Recognizing with limited lodging, there is more potential for growing day trippers during the
shoulder seasons (spring and early fall) from places such as Vancouver BC, Seattle-Bellevue, etc.
With regard to restrooms, Mr. Doherty reported staff is actively researching the cost of a facility and
M&O including contacting other cities that have downtown restrooms. He noted downtown restrooms
have higher use and a higher expectation with regard to appearance, cleanliness, etc.
b. Strategic Action Plan (SAP)
Commissioner Stern advised a 2-page report will be distributed by Ms. Cruz. She provided an overview
of the SAP:
• Contains 88 items and is a roadmap for Edmonds
• Was approved by Council in 2013
• Understood to be a living document
• Report from consultant indicates 84 of the 88 action items have primary leads, 6 have been
completed, 70 are in motion and 12 have not started
• Some action items are very complicated, long term, financially challenging
• City purchased software to track progress, subgroup looking forward to software demo
• Important to keep the public informed regarding progress
• Request the Council delay approval of the SAP until the subgroup has an opportunity to review
the changes
• SAP includes senior center

Mr. Doherty advised the report the consultant presented to the Council last week identified language that
needed to be clarified, implementation and worksheets for primary leads. The Council requested
additional time for review and continued discussion is tentatively scheduled for the April 7 Council
meeting. One of the consultant’s recommendations was to strike the language regarding relocating the
senior center due to language in the recently approved PROS Plan as well as the Option to Lease and
Ground Lease. Ms. Chapin clarified the public process to update the PROS Plan which started in June
2013, following the SAP, indicated residents were not interested in moving the senior center.
c. Business District Enhancements (BDE)
Vice Chair Rubenkonig reported on topics discussed at the subgroup meeting (topic advocate in
parenthesis):
• Business incentives (Senderoff)
• Incubator for startups, a possible way to bring clean technology industry to the City with the
possibility of attracting younger demographic (Rubenkonig)
• Website improvements (Doherty)
o The City’s website is tentatively scheduled to be launched next week
• Revisit UW study on Five Corners (several advocates)
• What are the deliverables of the above topics
• There is a perceived gap between what we want and what we have to achieve our wants
• Trends from real estate and business as it relates to land use
Vice Chair Rubenkonig reported he, Chair Schindler, Mr. Doherty, and Tim Sadler, an architect with
experience with startups and incubators, met recently to discuss start-up incubators:
• Professional people working from home who could benefit from a place with meeting rooms,
printing facilities, etc.
• EdCC is a resource that is underused. For example, EdCC has a certificate program in energy
management
• Boeing and its various spinoffs
• Tech companies
• Could Edmonds leverage its fiber optics system to attract tech companies
Mr. Doherty relayed his experience in Federal Way; for the amount of effort, attracting a larger business
to locate in the City provided a better return than assisting startups.
(Commissioner Matteson left the meeting at 7:22 p.m.)
Port Commissioner Faires said Ports are one of the biggest incubator organizations; the Port of Edmonds’
research found businesses that incubate in Edmonds move away when they expand.
7. COUNCIL LIAISONS' COMMENTS
Councilmember Petso inquired whether she was being asked to communicate to the Council President
that the EDC was requesting the Council not approve the SAP until the subgroup has an opportunity to
review it. Commissioner Stern answered yes. [See formal action taken under Agenda Item 10.]
Councilmember Petso referred to a report that provides 2014 sales tax revenue by area of the City. Mr.
Doherty offered to distribute the report to Commissioners. Councilmember Petso said in the interest of
greater formality and transparency, she plans to research at what point subgroup meetings need to be
noticed and minutes taken. She reported on the following:

Packet Page 200 of 416
• Council Retreat
o Top priority for both City Council and staff was long range financial planning
o A boutique hotel in the downtown area was a high staff priority
• Her personal opinion is few people come to Edmonds only once; most people who visit Edmonds,
regardless of the reason, return.
• Strategic Plan
o Do not assume the public wants everything in the Strategic Plan. Some items that scored very
low such as a trolley may be pursued by another entity without a great commitment of City
resources.
o Some items scored well with a stakeholder group such as the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor,
but did not score well with the general public.
o Although the SAP is a living document, she cautioned against viewing it as to-do list.
o It has been nearly three years since the voter survey that the document is was based was done.
Consider when to resurvey voters.

4A. UPDATE ON STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN AND WESTGATE PLAN
Strategic Action Plan (SAP)
Mr. Doherty reported the Council originally approved the SAP in April 2013. To assist with
implementation and fine tuning the plan, funds were included in the 2014 budget to hire a consultant to
assist with that effort. The SAP Working Group was established to work with staff and the consultant,
Cynthia Berne. Ms. Berne’s work included technical and clerical updates, identifying and getting a
commitment from the primary leads for the action items, and creating worksheets for each item. She also
created a roadmap for 2-3 select items as an example. The 2015 budget included funds for Envisio
software to track the SAP. Following clarifications made to the SAP as a result of issues raised at
presentations, the Council approved the updated report, accepted the consultant’s recommendations which
include beginning implementation and next year engaging in a more comprehensive public based process
to update the SAP. Several action items have been completed and many are underway.
Westgate Plan
Mr. Doherty explained when the City Council considered the Westgate Plan in the fall, it was tabled until
the SR-104 Transportation Study was completed. That study has been completed and the Westgate Plan
was again presented to Council last week. The Council approved amendments that established a uniform
setback of 16 feet from SR-104 and 100th (staff’s recommendation was 12-15 feet), lowered the maximum
height limit in the QFC quadrant to 3 stories, established a minimum 30 feet of space not occupied by
parking on the 1st floor in mixed use buildings, and established a parking ratio for commercial of 1 space
per 400 square feet.
Mr. Doherty summarized now that the Westgate Plan has been adopted, property owners can make their
plans accordingly. Many of the businesses will remain the same; Bartell as well as the owners of the
vacant parcel near the carwash have expressed interest in development/redevelopment. In response to a
Commission question, Mr. Doherty advised other issues raised during previous Council discussions were
incorporated into the Westgate Plan such as requiring amenities spaces to be public and allowing an
additional 5 feet of height as an incentive for large format retail.
Port of Edmonds Commissioner Faires remarked Westgate redevelopment under the new zoning
parameters is an important element of economic revitalization. He suggested the EDC discuss what steps
it could take to further activity at Westgate consistent with the new plan. Discussion followed regarding:
• Other areas where redevelopment could occur that were identified in the SAP and whether the
EDC should review those and how they could be advanced
• Having staff provide an update in a year of what has occurred at Westgate, whether it was what
was hoped would happen, any unexpected consequences, or whether something was inhibiting the
intended concepts
Packet Page 205 of 416
Approved Minutes
Economic Development Commission
April 15, 2015
Page 3
• There are two audiences for Westgate Plan, 1) developers, which the EDC does not have much
impact on, and 2) the public, where there is an opportunity for advocacy and positive outreach
and lay the groundwork for plans for other business areas
• Whether an action item needs to be added to the SAP regarding implementation of the Westgate
Plan
Mr. Doherty said there are no progress benchmarks/milestones in the Westgate Plan. It was agreed to add
discussion regarding the Westgate Plan to the May agenda including staff comment on the EDC’s role
and other areas that are identified in the SAP.
5 SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS: 1. Final Two Areas of Focus; 2. Final Target
Demographic; 3. How It Improves Tourism, Economic Stability, or Attracts New Business.
** What Help Do You Need from Other Commissioners/Staff to Complete Your Area of
Focus?
a. Tourism
Commissioner Wippel reported she spoke with Parks & Recreation Director Hite about ziplines, an idea
raised by Commissioner Senderoff a long time ago. Ms. Hite said the Parks Department has discussed
ziplines; in general they do not generate much revenue although they can generate tourists who in turn
impact the economy. There is some controversy about ziplines; she referred to the negative reaction of a
neighborhood in West Seattle in response to a proposed zipline. Ms. Hite indicated the only location in
Edmonds that was large enough would be Yost Park; limited parking and a bird habitat do not make that
an ideal location. Ms. Hite did not see a zipline as being feasible. The only other big space for zipline
would be a county park. The subcommittee concluded it was not feasible at this time.
Commissioner Dewhirst reported on areas of focus:
1. Infrastructure that support tourism and the general population
o Downtown restrooms
o Signage in/around Edmonds; there is a lot, some of it is difficult to see and it’s uncoordinated
o Target demographic: everyone
2. Building on existing events and diversifying and getting that information out
o Target demographic: Daytrippers from Seattle/Bellevue north and Vancouver BC south;
encourage them to make more trips or stay longer
Commissioner Dewhirst advised the Tourism Subcommittee has gotten superb support from staff; the
only thing missing from the initiatives is money. One of the subcommittee members plans to meet with
the Port about ways to enhance/support whale watching trips. Mr. Doherty advised whale watching trips
were added to the City’s tourism website.
Commissioner Reece inquired about the possibility of a mobile vendor for kayaks and paddle boards. Mr.
Faires reported 12 years ago such a business existed at the Port for about 3 months/year for 3 years, The
Port has had discussions with potential vendors to provide that amenity but no one has expressed interest
due to the open waters and liabilities. Ms. Chapin reported the City had a similar experience when
exploring concessions for the waterfront; variable conditions often make the water too rough. Mr. Faires
relayed sailing classes for kids has been deemed inappropriate in Puget Sound because water conditions
make the liability and risk too high. Commissioner Senderoff remarked that type of business only works
when it is adjunct to retail or restaurant.
Commissioner Senderoff recalled during brainstorming a suggestion was made to engage the International
Community in a Chinese New Year celebration. Ms. Chapin said that was discussed with a number of the
Packet Page 206 of 416
Approved Minutes

business owners when the Highway 99 lighting project was dedicated in January but there was no further
response from them.
Commissioner Stern suggested installing dance steps on the sidewalk to create activity between Main
Street and Walnut Street. Public Works identified what needed to be done and she is working on it.
b. Strategic Action Plan Implementation
Commissioner Haug reported:
1. Goal of SAP subcommittee (Commissioners Matteson, Stern, Fleetwood and he) is to find ways
to help with the implementation of the SAP
2. EDC is a listed participant in 15 of the SAP elements
a. Review to determine our role on work items
b. Make recommendations of which EDC sub group will be accountable for each element.
3. Subcommittee did a demo of the tracking system Council funded.
a. Initial training of Cindi and Patrick is scheduled for April 16
b. Based on Council actions the tracking system will be updated.
4. Council accepted the consultant recommendation for a facilitation process.
a. Subcommittee will review the recommended tasks and make recommendation of how best
the SAP subcommittee, other EDC committees, or the EDC as a whole will fit into the tasks.
5. Need to get the “worksheets” produced by consultant that have not yet been made public and see
what the various leads have outlined as tasks and timing for all 88 elements.
6. Council and Staff outlined their priorities for 2015 at recent retreat and formed several working
committees.
a. Subcommittee will look at these priorities and committees to see how they match up with
SAP elements.
b. For items matching or supporting the SAP, subcommittee will review how the EDC can help
develop public input to the process
7. SAP subcommittee not likely to be able to do all the things so how do we broaden our efforts?
a. EDC involvement?
b. Public involvement?
8. Subcommittee will develop some ideas on how to keep the public informed of progress
a. Hold public meetings?
b. Post subcommittee meetings?
Commissioner Stern pointed out the importance of informing the public about progress on the SAP. Mr.
Doherty pointed one the SAP is the informational boxes on the City’s home page and has been updated
with the most recent information. He invited suggestions for information to include.
Commissioner Hughes advised the Business District Enhancement Subcommittee discussed non-
traditional ways to get the word out such as Twitter, Facebook, and other electronic means. She suggested
the next meeting include social media or non-traditional means of communication to reach those who may
not attend a public forum, visit the City’s website, etc. A brief discussion followed regarding moderation
that may be needed on social media.
c. Business Districts Enhancement
Commissioner Hughes reported the subcommittee identified several areas of focus (Five Corners, startup
incubators, business incentives, year round farmers market, promoting businesses at Salish Crossing,
Hospital District tie in to Five Corners) but agreed on the following primary areas of focus:
• Five Corners
Packet Page 207 of 416
Approved Minutes
Economic Development Commission
April 15, 2015
Page 5
o Target demographic: citizens, Planning Board, City Council, potential developers and
businesses
o Has potential to attract new businesses, expand retail
o Lessons learned from the Westgate Plan to help message more effectively, ensure adequate
public input, etc.
• Startup incubators
o Target demographic: very small businesses, entrepreneurs and developers and business
owners to support incubator environment
o Has potential to tie individuals into Edmonds
o Seeded businesses will grow to position of strength
• Business incentives
o Target demographic: discount on taxes, incentives for offering services/goods, local
businesses, potential businesses and developers
o Provides additional opportunities for businesses considering locating in Edmonds, retail,
family entertainment, services
o Code and legal implications need to work with staff on
The subcommittee will make a decision at their May 4meeting regarding their top area of focus. She
invited feedback on additional ideas, priorities, etc.
6. EDC CHARTER/SUNSET CLAUSE DISCUSSION
a. Discuss EDC Potential Proposal to Council to Renew EDC Charter, Pros/Cons of
Asking for Formal Resolution and Vote By council to Renew EDC Charge by
September 1, 2015.
Chair Schindler reported the EDC is scheduled to sunset in December. The issue has been raised whether
there is value in developing a formal proposal to Council asking for a resolution and vote by Council by
September to renew the EDC charter to avoid what happened when the EDC was originally sunseted and
ten members were lost. Discussion followed regarding:
• A Council committee (Councilmembers Petso, Bloom, and Fraley-Monillas and Mr. Doherty, Ms.
Hope and Mr. James) is evaluating the role of EDC including whether to split it into different
groups, establishing a different focus, sunseting, etc. Another committee is discussing staffing for
boards and commission.
• Support for preparing a formal proposal so EDC members know how long the commission will
operate.
• Knowing whether the commission is sunseting will have a major effect on how much effort the
subcommittees invest. For example, the SAP subcommittee’s work will not be done by yearend.
• Approach to monitoring SAP implementation this year is to use staff, EDC SAP subcommittee,
and software as a project management team and next year engage the public and consider a more
robust project management team.
• EDC has been in existence for five years, has done incredible work/heavy lifting. At least three
dozen citizens have been involved over the years. Large, diverse group has worked reasonably
well together.
• EDC was the recommendation of the 60 member Citizen Levy Review Committee.
Councilmembers and Mayor have input into the membership. It is important the EDC continues
to exist and to get an answer regarding its future from the City Council by September.
• EDC has done significant things in the time it has existed.
• Determine whether the Council is interested in allowing the EDC to sunset and if so, why?
• The Council will do what they will do. The EDC has a job to do; it is not time efficient to discuss
justifying its existence. Time can be better spent doing things to justify its existence.
Packet Page 208 of 416
Approved Minutes
Economic Development Commission
April 15, 2015
Page 6
• Continue doing job, let Council go through their process and assume the EDC will continue.
• Prime reason EDC was established was economic development to help address City’s revenue
shortfall. It was determined the City had a revenue shortfall not an expense problem.
• Make the EDC so valuable no one would want it to sunset. If the EDC is not doing enough of
value, allow to sunset.
• EDC formed as an outgrowth of the Levy Committee to look at economic development but also
to decide what economic development is appropriate for the community’s values.
• Better work product results from people who devote their time in a secure work environment
• Staff will research whether original commissioners are eligible to continue if the EDC is extended
beyond 2015.
Chair Schindler summarized the options were, 1) the EDC continue its work and see what the Council
does, and 2) submit a formal proposal to Council requesting a decision by September regarding extending
the EDC.
Councilmember Petso relayed Council consideration of the EDC sunset will be scheduled sometime
between now and the end of year. She did do not think there was a Council majority to terminate the EDC
without the willful and voluntary participation of the EDC. If the Council committee recommended
restructuring into separate committees such as long range finance, tourism and business recruitment, that
would be presented to the EDC but she did not think there currently was any consensus to do that. It may
merely be a result of one person’s observations this is a large group and possibly different focuses or
structure would be more efficient. She relayed the Finance Director is interested in forming a long range
finance committee and may be interested in members from this committee. She anticipated the committee
will make a recommendation over the summer; she suggested commissioners forward ideas to the
committee members.
COMMISSIONER REECE MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HAUG, TO HOLD OFF
ON ACTION RELATED TO RENEWAL OF THE EDC PENDING RECEIPT OF A REPORT
FROM THE COUNCIL’S EDC REVIEW COMMITTEE. MEMBERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO
PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO COUNCIL AND STAFF. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
7. COUNCIL LIAISONS' COMMENTS
Councilmember Petso reported the Council is halfway through approving a Diversity Commission. She
envisioned a Diversity Commission will provide economic development opportunity as they will be
sponsoring events.
8. PLANNING BOARD UPDATE – None
9. PORT OF EDMONDS UPDATE
Port Commissioner Faires agreed better discussion and information flow between the Port, the City and
the EDC’s Tourism Subcommittee regarding Puget Sound Express whale watching would be a good idea.
They are running a few whale watching tours now and will officially be scheduling trips in Puget Sound,
Saratoga Passage and the Straits beginning May 23. There is a link to their website on the Ports website.
Commissioners commented on trips they had taken with Puget Sound Express.
Mr. Faires relayed the Port Commission’s primary emphasis during the last month has been the annual
financial analysis. He encouraged the EDC to revisit the UW’s plan for Five Corners now that the
Westgate Plan has been adopted.
9A. STAFF UPDATE
Packet Page 209 of 416
Approved Minutes
Economic Development Commission
April 15, 2015
Page 7
Mr. Doherty reported:
• Following approval of the Westgate Plan, he is reaching out to property owners to explain the
new regulations
• A conceptual proposal for a hotel with retail and medical office space is being discussed for a site
on Hwy 99 near the hospital
• Initial work has begun on an ad campaign for general economic development associated with
bringing business to Edmonds
• He is contacting vendors about a holiday/winter farmer’s market (mid-November to weekend
before Christmas) in the City’s surface parking lot as part of the City’s 125th anniversary. Five
have expressed interest, seeking eight before move forward, total number would be fifteen
• Sponsors are being sought for the August 11 street party and dance for City’s 125th celebration.
Will include performers, historic reenactments, refreshments, speeches, and Sister City
delegation.
Arts & Culture Program Manager Frances Chapin reported although the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor was
not a high priority in the SAP, it was an area of great interest in the Community Cultural Plan which
followed the SAP. An interim project is underway to create a sense of connection between the Edmonds
Center for the Arts (ECA) and Main Street. Three artists presented designs; one design was selected by a
selection committee and the Arts Commission recommended approval to the City Council. She described
the project, LED solar light elements that are set into the asphalt to create a pathway glow at night along
the road between the ECA and Main. A public hearing is scheduled at City Council on May 5. She noted
this is an example of something that was a low priority in the SAP but was pursued by a group of
interested, passionate people.
9B. DECORUM AT CITY COUNCIL
Commissioner Haug relayed his understanding that unless a commissioner is representing the official
viewpoint of the EDC when speaking with friends and family, to My Edmonds News, Edmonds Beacon,
statements/letters to Council, etc. they are not to state they are speaking for the EDC. He referred to
incidents in the last few days regarding remarks made in public. Chair Schindler agreed it was important
for the EDC to speak as a body. Commissioners making comments need to disclose they are members of
the EDC but that they are speaking as a private citizen and not on behalf of the EDC.
Councilmember Petso clarified her comments at tonight’s meeting are her thoughts as a Councilmember
and are not representative of the Council. Mr. Doherty reminded that elected and appointed officials
should not comment on the City’s Facebook page to prevent an unintentional quorum. Commissioner
Senderoff advised a member can provide a dissenting opinion to Council regarding an EDC
recommendation
10. MISCELLANEOUS
Commissioner Haug welcomed Commissioner Hayden and thanked him for joining the EDC.
Ms. Cruz advised Commissioners Rubenkonig, Anttila and Matteson have excused absences.
Chair Schindler invited commissioners to contact him with topics for the May and/or June meetings.

executable action items to accomplishing your two areas of focus)
a. Tourism
Subgroup meets every other month, no meeting in May.
Commissioner Senderoff reported on the movement in street art similar to murals that includes sidewalk
art, whimsical phrases and poems. It would be relatively simple to implement and may be something the
Mural Society would be interested in pursuing. Commissioner Reece commented on hydrophobic paint
used to paint on sidewalks; the image is only visible when wet. Chair Schindler suggested the Tourism
Subgroup discuss this at their next meeting. It was noted City approval may be required to paint on
sidewalks.
Commissioner Stern suggested the arts community collaborate with the BID to create a rotational concept
to create activity and interest downtown as well as for the 3rd Thursday walks. Commissioner Anttila
suggested an artist chalk weekend. Commissioner Reece suggested a street art connection to the Cascadia
Art Museum at Salish Crossing.
b. Strategic Action Plan (SAP)
Commissioner Haug described the development of the SAP. He provided 1) a list of SAP items with leads
for each item, and 2) a list of SAP items for which the EDC is a participant. He suggested a future
discussion for how/whether the EDC should pursue those items. He reported on Invisio software and
reports it can produce such as progress on actions items for which the Economic Development &
Community Services Department is the lead.
Commissioner Haug reported the subgroup has been discussing:
1. What role the subgroup and EDC wants to have in the SAP and where and how to do it.
2. Communications to public on what has been done to date and what is next.
• Commissioner Matteson requested for next month’s EDC meeting each subgroup identify
what they are working on, what they have been accomplished and what their goals are. That
information can be published as a report card to the public in My Edmonds News and the
Beacon.
• Commissioner Stern suggested the EDC identify its focus on SAP items the EDC is the lead
on such as mixed use development standards for Five Corners, 4th Avenue Arts Corridor,
Civic Fields and economic incentives
3. Recommend Business District Incentives Subgroup
Packet Page 212 of 416

a) Advance all land use items in SAP especially Five Corners
b) Continue work on business incentives
4. Civic Field Discussion
5. Arts opportunities – mentioned seven times in SAP, much as been done and can be a showcase
for Edmonds
6. Advanced Utility – Edmonds Fiber Network, what’s next?
Discussion followed regarding concern Council action is needed on land use items, the EDC’s role in
advancing SAP items, public outreach to create momentum for SAP items, subgroups
supporting/advancing other items in the SAP, whether the EDC’s role is oversight of the entire SAP or
only items where the EDC is identified as the lead, and the EDC’s charter to identify revenue-generating
efforts.
COMMISSIONER HAUG MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER REECE, THAT HE BE
AUTHORIZED TO APPROACH CITY STAFF ON BEHALF OF THE EDC TO DETERMINE
WHERE THE BUDGET DOLLARS ARE FOR A CONSULTANT REGARDING FIBER AND
WHAT PROGRESS IS BEING MADE REGARDING HIRING A CONSULTANT.
Commissioner Senderoff offered a friendly amendment to obtain an estimate of the value on the open
market of the fiber that has been purchased but not yet installed. Commissioner Haug said he could
provide that information.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
c. Business Districts Enhancements
Vice Chair Rubenkonig reported Mr. Doherty requested the subgroup’s assistance with providing a brief
written description of the districts in the City, photographs, description of 2-3 primary businesses, etc. to
update the City’s website and assist with recruitment of businesses.
Commission Senderoff explained each business district has unique attributes and new businesses may be
interested in locating near certain attributes and/or the City may be interested in recruiting businesses
synergistic with certain business districts. The subgroup discussed adding this information to the City’s
website as well as the possibility of this morphing into a separate website for business recruitment and
further dividing up some districts such as Highway 99. Commissioner Rubenkonig reported Mr. Doherty
also provided the subgroup information about business recruitment methods. Ms. Hope explained the
intent was to determine interim, practical things that can be done to help attract businesses and advertise
things unique to Edmonds.
Discussion followed regarding utilizing the website for business recruitment to reach a wider audience,
the City’s GIS capacity, adding information such as zoning and existing structures, starting small with
information on the City’s website, ease of implementing this concept, the City’s recent upgrade of the
website platform that improved staff’s ability to make changes in-house, ways to promote the City, and
additional information that can be added in the future such as GIS overlays. Vice Chair Rubenkonig said
business districts will be assigned to subgroup members at their next meeting; the district descriptions
they prepare will be reviewed by the subgroup at the following month.
Potential items for the EDC to Support
1. Arts Theme
2. Civic Fields

Chair Schindler requested the subgroups discuss and report in June how the above four apply to their
subgroup and whether these are the four items the EDC wants to support. He requested subgroups also
discuss ways to update the public. Discussion followed regarding reporting incremental progress being
made on SAP items to the public, ways to communicate to the public, and allowing adequate time on the
agenda for subgroup reports and discussion. Vice Chair Rubenkonig requested each subgroup submit a
one-page summary of their meeting at least week before the EDC meeting so it can be distributed with the
agenda. Chair Schindler encouraged Commissioners to identify agenda items for EDC meetings.
Commissioner Wippel suggested a periodic column in the Beacon, My Edmonds News, etc. regarding the
EDC’s efforts with links to the City’s website as appropriate and encouraging the public to attend EDC
meetings.
8. COUNCIL LIAISONS' COMMENTS
Councilmember Petso reported the Council is looking at the possibility of acquiring the Edmonds
Conference Center. She invited Commissioners to share their input with Council regarding whether to
pursue acquisition. The Council authorized submitting a letter of interest prior to the June 1 deadline and
then has 10 days to submit an offer.
9. PLANNING BOARD UPDATE
Planning Board Member Phil Lovell reported the Planning Board has been reviewing:
• Update of the Comprehensive Plan
• Update of the Edmond Community Development Code
• Tree Code – public hearing on May 27
o Planning Board will use public hearing to gauge the public’s interest in the Tree Code
o The draft Tree Code is an attachment to past Planning Board agendas on the website

Port Commissioner Bruce Faires reported:
• Puget Sound Express begins whale watching tours this Saturday
o Further information available on their website, www.pugetsoundexpress.com
o Port is discussing promotion of this activity with the Port of Seattle
• SeaJazz and Artists in Action start in June on Wednesdays and Sundays
• The legislature did not pass legislation proposed by Washington Tourism Alliance (A privately
controlled enterprise, using the State’s revenue system, would assess tourism-related businesses
and the revenue generated would be used to fund a tourism marketing campaign)
o It will be proposed again next year
o The legislature needs to be encouraged to approve it
o Washington does not have a Tourism Bureau
o Washington State tourism up 5% in 2014 over 2013, surrounding states were up 11%
11. COMMISSIONERS' CORNER - TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION.
Commissioner Anttila reported on the opportunity the City has to purchase the Edmonds Conference
Center, and its importance for arts, restrooms, and the long term vision for Edmonds. She commented on
Packet Page 214 of 416
Approved Minutes
Economic Development Commission
May 20, 2015
Page 5
the ability to increase marketing of the center and potential users. She encouraged Commissioners to
discuss it with friends and family.
Councilmember Petso said she contacted Mr. Dougherty and Chair Schindler to ask whether the Council
needed to allow time for the EDC to discuss acquisition. It was agreed there was not enough time to wait
for the EDC to take action at its next meeting. Discussion followed regarding the difficulty for the EDC to
vote on a position tonight, size of the building and property, pros and cons of purchasing the building, the
cost of repairs and future use of the property and/or building. Vice Chair Rubenkonig encouraged
Commissioners to provide input to the Council.
Commissioner Reece reported two co-op preschools are losing their facilities next year due to school
construction. He invited Commissioners to inform him of any low rent space.
Commissioner Hayden expressed support for a periodic report to the public.
Vice Chair Rubenkonig suggested having an EDC information booth at upcoming festivals. He reported
Highway 99 Task Force Members are taking photographs of interesting/attractive streetscapes in other
cities. He suggested Commissioners do the same and submit them to Ms. Hope.
Commissioner Faires commented the zoning in Westgate and Firdale has been changed. He suggested the
Business Incentive Subgroup consider investigating what could be done to make redevelopment happen
faster so increased revenue can be realized.
Student Representative Khan said the meeting was very informative and he had learned a lot. He was
excited about being appointed and he looked forward to the future.
Planning Board Member Lovell suggested Mr. Doherty talk to the Firdale Village property owner; one
person owns the entire parcel. The property owner hired an architect to prepare a Master Plan which was
reviewed by the Planning Board and approved by the City Council.
Councilmember Petso reported the City has a Streetscape Plan in the Comprehensive Plan; the current
proposal is to remove it from the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Hope clarified the Streetscape Plan will
become an appendix to the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan currently contains many
separate plans. The intent is for the Comprehensive Plan to include the elements required by GMA and a
few other important elements and for other important plans to supplemental to the Comprehensive Plan.
The Streetscape Plan needs to be updated; there is not time to do that by the mid-year deadline. Vice
Chair Rubenkonig suggested Commissioners email Ms. Hope their comments about this topic.
Following a brief discussion, it was agreed to have EDC meetings during the summer months.

5. SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS: TWO AREAS SUBGROUP WANTS HIGHLIGHTED IN PUBLIC
COMMUNICATION PIECE
A. Tourism
Commissioner Dewhirst reported staff plans to include a proposal for downtown restrooms in the 2016
budget. He referred to a memo that he generated to the EDC informing that the Tourism and Visitor
Services Subcommittee will be taking a hiatus pending direction from Council. Chair Schindler clarified
the goal was to align with the Council’s objectives for the EDC to avoid the subgroup spinning its wheels.
Several members of the Commissioner were disappointed that the Tourism Subcommittee will be taking a
hiatus. Discussion followed regarding disappointment the Tourism Subgroup was disappearing when they
have done good work in the past; the EDC continuing to generate ideas; and concern some aspects of
tourism are already being addressed by other groups.
Discussion followed regarding tourism subgroup members visiting other subgroup meetings; purpose of
the EDC to gather ideas that are then shared with the Council; tourism as an integral part of the EDC; the
goal to create better communication between the EDC and City Council; projects that emanated from the
EDC such as the Strategic Action Plan, Westgate and Five Corners Plans; ideas the Commission has
identified but have not been pursued such as dancing footsteps and sidewalk art; ideas the tourism
subgroup has generated without any action due to lack of funds and ownership; need for the EDC to flush
out and champion the best ideas; having each subgroup identify two ideas that can be communicated to
the public via the media; concern one subgroup taking a hiatus gives Council fuel to disband the EDC;
work done by the Tourism Subgroup such as written reports on B&Bs, the Farmers Market, and the
economics of tourism, assistance with the tourism website, downtown restrooms. disappointment the
Tourism Subgroup was disappearing when they have done good work in the past; the EDC continuing to
generate ideas; and concern some aspects of tourism are already being addressed by other groups.
C. Business Districts Enhancements
Packet Page 217 of 416
Draft Minutes
Economic Development Commission
July 15, 2015
Page 3
Vice Chair Rubenkonig reported the subgroup meets the first Monday of the month. The subgroup has
been discussing business districts; the six members are drafting summaries of each business district that
Mr. Doherty will edit and post on the City’s website. He circulated a sample. Discussion followed
regarding noticing/posting subgroup meetings to avoid the quorum issue, concern with expanding
attendance at subgroup meetings when there was already not enough time for discussion between
subgroup members, and the original intent for subgroups to working groups that could meet as often as
they wanted.
Commissioner Hughes explained subgroup members are developing descriptive overviews of each
business district that describe the character of the district that will be available to prospective businesses
on the City’s website. The goal is for the summary/overview to be complete by the subgroup’s next
meeting, August 3. The districts include Highway 99 (Medical, International and Mainline) Waterfront,
Firdale, Westgate, Downtown, Five Corners and Perrinville.
Mr. Doherty referred to a list of Edmonds’ assets from real estate brochures that could be included in the
summary such as demographics, average daily vehicle traffic, transit lines, accessibility, etc. He explained
this is the first month the City is doing business attraction advertising in addition to tourism advertising.
He circulated an ad in Seattle Business Monthly that includes the website, YourBizInEdmonds.com. The
intent of the website is to attract new businesses to Edmonds; the description of the business districts
allows a business to consider which district would be the best fit for them.
Discussion followed regarding marketing business district’s unique qualities, information included in ads,
how the ads’ success is measured, and data accumulated via that effort.
B. Strategic Action Plan
Commissioner Haug reported:
• Data has been input into the SAP tracking system
o Information will be added as information is received from leads which will allow reports and
timelines to be generated
• In 2005 Edmonds gained access to 23 strands of fiber from WSDOT as part of a Homeland
Security project with the ferry system
o Fiber currently used for City services, Municipal Court video arraignment, and leased to both
government and commercial customers
o Initial startup costs have been fully repaid with revenues and savings and City enjoys a net
savings and revenue of more than $50,000/year
o City does not have full redundancy or 24/7 support
o Revenue potential of $150,000/year if fiber used to its full potential
o Extending the network is costly and it may not be in the City’s best interest to pursue hiring a
consultant to produce a business and marketing plan
• SAP Item 1b.2, attracting high tech businesses using fiber optics
o On hold due to lack of funds for a consultant to prepare a business and marketing plan. Funds
in 2013 budget were not used and were reallocated to other projects; funds will have to be
budgeted.
o If SAP leads do not have any alternative ideas, this item may need to be removed from the
SAP
Discussion followed regarding the market value of the dry fiber, upgrades required to increase the
financial value of the fiber to the City, and the expense of extending fiber.

6. STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN DISCUSSION & Q&A
Commissioner Haug referred to the Executive Summary from the 2009 EDC Report to the Council and
identified progress on the six elements.
1. Ensure that the City’s economic development position can devote full time to economic
development activities and adequately fund proposed programs and activities. A focus of this role
is to continue to define and promote Edmonds’ brand. Has not been pursued.
2. Commit to developing/reviewing/updating a strategic plan every year, ideally corresponding to
the City Council’s annual retreat; this includes setting goals and continually assessing progress
metrics. Accomplished.
3. Initiate Neighborhood Business Center plans for Five Corners (Neighborhood Center) and
Westgate (Neighborhood Community Center) in order to position these areas to attract
redevelopment. Westgate Plan has been adopted.
4. Support the process to redevelop Harbor Square with public involvement that ensures a balance
between generating revenue and addressing environmental concerns. Accomplished.
5. Initiate and fund a business/marketing plan for the City-owned fiber optic network. See Item 5.
6. Develop a community vision that addresses a balance between quality of life and growth
objectives while furthering Edmonds’ “green” initiatives. Has not been accomplished other than
some items in the SAP.
Commissioner Haug reviewed SAP subgroups suggested topics for EDC discussion:
1. Completed Items of SAP – how to best communicate to public
a. Mixed use on Highway 99 (1a7)
b. Mixed use at Firdale Village (1a12)
c. Formation of BID (1b9)
d. Long term financial plan for Yost Pool (3a6)
e. Effective public communication (5b2)
f. View Preservation (3a7)
2. EDC input element – list distributed, do we want to create formal inputs for these or other
elements of the SAP
3. Town Hall meetings to continue the public discussion of the elements of the SAP
a. Economic health, vitality and sustainability
b. Maintain, enhance and create a sustainable environment
c. Develop and maintain a transportation and infrastructure system to meet current and future
demand
d. Responsible, accountable and responsive government
4. When and how should we update the current SAP
5. Development of cost estimates (order of magnitude) for key elements of SAP
Mr. Doherty suggested adding a quarterly update on the SAP on the City’s homepage. In approving the
SAP, the City Council requested staff report back in a year and to engage the public in updating the SAP.
Staff will develop a menu of options for doing that. Commissioner Wippel suggested including the SAP
in the Mayor’s department updates that are published in My Edmonds News and the Beacon as well as in
the City newsletter.
Mr. Doherty referred to the Brief Update on Strategic Action Plan Items he prepared in anticipation of
tonight’s discussion. He explained of the 85-86 SAP items, only 9 do not have a lead; the remaining items
are underway in some way.
Packet Page 219 of 416
Draft Minutes
Economic Development Commission
July 15, 2015

Commission suggestions included identifying the benefit to the community when communicating SAP
items that have been accomplished; using social media to get information out to citizens; developing
information that EDC members can posted on their Facebook, Twitter, etc. with links to additional
information; identifying what has been done to date on a SAP goal versus identifying it as completed;
providing a status update on each item; increasing community discussion and visibility of the SAP;
posting information regarding the SAP on the City’s Facebook page, and utilizing a multifaceted
approach to communicating progress on the SAP.
7. COUNCIL LIAISONS' COMMENTS
Councilmember Petso provided materials from a presentation the Council received from the Snohomish
County Tourism Bureau. The presentation’s focus was on adults but there are many things in the area for
children. She suggested the EDC help strengthen the description of what makes Edmonds special in
Snohomish County.
With regard to communication on the SAP, Councilmember Petso raised questions about items identified
as completed and recommended including the Council in any announcements about completed items.
8. PLANNING BOARD UPDATE
Planning Board Member Phil Lovell reported:
• July 8 meeting included a public hearing and a lengthy discussion regarding the Critical Areas
Ordinance (CAO).
• Development code update is underway with assistance from a consultant.
• A public hearing was held July 8 regarding code amendments to address irreconcilable
applications on the same property, a developer submitting a second application that is inconsistent
with a previous application.
• July 22 meeting will include continued discussion and recommendation regarding the CAO, a
discussion regarding the SR 104 Study, and a public hearing regarding the rezone of private
property.
• Major items next month include the Highway 99 subarea planning process, continued work on the
development code update and a public hearing on August 12 on the Marina Beach Park Master
Plan.
• A new (alternate) member was appointed, Nathan Monroe, who is a landscape architect.
9. PORT OF EDMONDS UPDATE
Port Commissioner Faires reported:
• Puget Sound Express whale watching is doing well; their two trips per day consistently see
whales. They have done a good job of marketing, particularly to groups such as retirement homes.
He expressed interest in any anecdotal information regarding the impact the tours have on the
community such visiting downtown stores or restaurants. Commissioners suggested downtown
restaurants partner with Puget Sound Express to offer a coupon.
• The Port’s budget process is beginning; a public hearing will be held in September
• Jacobsen Marine is ahead of forecast. He was interested in any anecdotal information regarding
their impact on the community
• New public restrooms in the mid-marina and at the south marina will be installed this winter.
Installation delayed due to issues with the City’s application process. He suggested the EDC
discuss that reality/perception.

• To Commissioner Hertrich’s comment regarding mixed use versus mix of uses, the understanding
across the State is mixed use includes retail, commercial and residential; a mix of uses can mean
something different.
(Chair Schindler left the meeting at 7:42 p.m.)
10. AUDIENCE COMMENTS – None
11. COMMISSIONERS’ CORNER – TOPICS FOR POTENTIAL DISCUSSION FOR NEXT
MEETING
Commissioner Hayden commented the hiatus of the Tourism Subgroup leaves only two subgroups which
increases the possibility of a quorum at the remaining two subgroups’ meetings.
Commissioner Hertrich said in his earlier comment questioning the completion of the SAP item regarding
long term financial plan for Yost Pool, he assumed it was the future aquatic center; he now realized it was
repairs of the existing Yost Pool.
Commissioner Wippel, a member of the Tourism Subgroup, agreed the Tourism Subgroup struggled to
get traction on items. She was not present at the meeting where the hiatus was discussed. She hoped it
would be reconstituted in some form and offered to continue to serve on the subgroup.
Commissioner Matteson commented without the Tourism Subgroup, the EDC is a 2-legged stool.
Commissioner Haug commented there are two items in SAP regarding Yost Pool; the one that has been
completed is with regard to the existing pool. He recommended the EDC determine how the EDC can
guide completion of SAP items. For example, many of the items identified by the Tourism Subgroup fit
with SAP items. It may be a matter of packaging efforts and finding a way to communicate that
differently.
Commissioner Swartz, a member of the Tourism Subgroup, reported there was no further effort on many
of the items the Tourism Subgroup worked on due to the lack of a transition plan to staff.
Commissioner Rubenkonig asked whether Commissioners were available for an August meeting; a
sufficient number indicated they were available.
Mr. Doherty commented when the subgroups started, there was not necessarily staff to pursue ideas.
Since last year he, Ms. Cruz and the tourism promotion coordinator consultant have been implementing
items related to tourism. Staff feels very energized by ideas generated by the Tourism Subgroup and are
pursuing many of them. Today he spent three hours with the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau at the
first of several planning meetings for 2016.

4. FIRST QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT ON STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN (SAP)
Economic Development & Community Services Director Patrick Doherty referred to the Progress Update
on the SAP document (also available on City’s website), explaining this is the result of the EDC’s
previous discussion about informing the community regarding progress on the SAP. He plans to update
the progress report quarterly. He welcomed Commissioners’ input regarding the progress report.
Chair Schindler asked whether the items the EDC is working on will also be highlighted on the City’s
website. Mr. Dougherty said this is strictly related to the SAP. Commissioner Stern suggested putting
information regarding the update on Channel 21 such as featuring one item and referring viewers to the
website for further information.
5 SUB-COMMITTEE REPORTS:
a. Strategic Action Plan
Commissioner Haug reported the EDC had the highest attendance at the volunteer picnic; 75% of the
members attended. He thanked Mr. Doherty for his response to the EDC’s request for a quarterly update.
Now that information is available regarding progress on some SAP items, the question arises what else
can be done to inform the public such as articles in My Edmonds News, the Beacon or other form of
communication; just putting it on the City’s website may not be enough. He reviewed an EDC SAP
Subcommittee Discussion Guide and invited input on the following: 1) completed items of SAP – how
best to communicate to public, 2) EDC input elements, 3) Town Hall meetings to continue the public
discussion of the elements of SAP, 4) when and how to update the current SAP, and 5) development of
cost estimate for key elements of SAP. Commission suggestions included:
• Hold topical Town Halls such as regarding the SAP to review what has been done and Q&A
• Add progress on the SAP to another meeting such as the Mayor’s Town Hall
• Hold Town Hall meeting with an overall presentation on the SAP and breakouts on specific items
• Article in the newspaper featuring progress on one item in SAP
• The public does not care about SAP but they do care about topics
• Consider ways to educate the public about topics as well as how to engage in the process
• Describe opportunities for the public to engage
• Communicate with the public and get information out early in the process
Arts & Culture Program Manager Francis Chapin reported on a mini arts summit held in July regarding
the Community Cultural Plan that included presentations on the five topic areas of greatest interest
Packet Page 223 of 416
Approved Minutes
Economic Development Commission
August 19, 2015
Page 3
followed by breakouts into smaller groups. Many of the people who attended the summit were not
involved in the process of developing the Community Cultural Plan.
Mr. Doherty reminded when the City Council approved the update to the SAP four months ago, it was
with the caveat that a public process occur next year to update the SAP. The draft 2016 budget includes a
placeholder for that public process.
b. Business Districts Enhancements
Vice Chair Rubenkonig referred to business district summaries that have been prepared for Westgate,
Downtown, Five Corners and Firdale; summaries for the Waterfront and the 76th Corridor are in the
process of being prepared. The intent is to have the summaries and photographs on the City’s website by
September. Mr. Doherty explained the business attraction advertising staff began in July includes a
rebranded URL for one of the City’s webpage, YourBizInEdmonds.com, that directs users to the Bring
Your Business to Edmonds webpage that will list business districts with links to the summaries and
photographs. The intent is to encapsulate the district’s character, highlight primary businesses, recent
enhancements/improvements, traffic volumes, examples of potential desirable and complementary
businesses, transit, etc.
Discussed followed regarding potential additional districts such as the Port and Harbor Square, intent of
the district information to inform potential businesses and/or brokers about the districts, and adding
unique attributes of each district to the summaries. Commissioners were invited to contact subcommittee
members or Mr. Doherty with any changes/additions.
6. DISCUSSION ON UPCOMING MEETING WITH CITY COUNCIL (SEPTEMBER 8)
a. Summarize Value of CEDC
Commissioners suggested the presentation include a review of the reason the EDC was created and what
the Council asked EDC to do (develop new strategies for economic development and identify new
sources of revenue) and whether the EDC is doing it. Commissioners brainstormed the following values
of the CEDC:
• Citizen think tank
• Diverse views and geography
• Lightning rod for ideas, cross pollination of ideas though discussion
• Conduit for input and ideas from citizens to EDC and then to staff and Council and vice versa
• Deep dive into topics that Council or staff do not have time to do
• Vetting feasibility of ideas, both positive and negative. EDC has investigated and determined
some strategies and revenue sources are not feasible
• Guest speakers – explore ideas/concepts/projects
o Chamber
o Doug Spee
o Swedish Edmonds
o Lindsey Echelbarger
o Snohomish County Tourism Bureau
o Roger Brooks
o Senior Center
o BID

Commissioner.
7. COUNCIL LIAISONS' COMMENTS
Councilmember Petso advised the EDC’s September 8 report to the Council is scheduled for 45 minutes;
she recommended the presenters retain time for Council questions. She recalled being asked in January
what the Council wanted from the EDC; she suggested considering how Councilmembers’ responses fit
with the list of accomplishments.
Councilmember Petso reported the Council was provided an update regarding the Marina Beach Master
Plan. A representative of Washington State Ferries indicated the Edmonds Crossing project is not dead
which means there may be a ferry dock at Marina Beach in the distant future.

8. PLANNING BOARD UPDATE
Planning Board Member Phil Lovell reported the public hearing regarding the Marina Beach Master Plan
at the last Planning Board meeting revealed there is a great deal of public support. He distributed a
drawing of Marina Beach that includes the conceptual footprint of the Edmonds Crossing alignment. He
urged the Council to read the Planning Board meeting minutes that summarize the Board’s lengthy
discussion including the potential impact of a future Edmonds Crossing project. The Planning Board
recommended approval of the Marina Beach Master Plan. He read from a letter from WSDOT Ferries
Division dated June 19, 2015, “Unocal and its successors maintain the ownership of certain assets and an
easement that span the adjacent Burlington Northern Sante Fe railroad right-of-way. The Limited
Warrantee Deed granted Unocal and its successors (WSF) the right to demolish properties in the
easement, and construct the ferry terminal trestle and utilities necessary for the operation of the Edmonds
Crossing Ferry Terminal at the site.” The Master Plan is designed so that minimal infrastructure will be
impacted by Edmonds Crossing alignment.
Mr. Lovell pointed out the conceptual Edmonds Crossing alignment crosses Port property. He relayed the
WSF representative indicated their long range plan (a 10-year plan that includes projects for the next 30
years) will be updated next year and that he suspected the Edmonds Crossing project will be on project
list. A brief discussion followed regarding how the potential of Edmonds Crossing has affected
development of Edmonds.
9. PORT OF EDMONDS UPDATE
Bob McChesney reported the Port is having a very good year; the marina is full. Puget Sound Express
whale watching tours are having an economic impact including their purchase of approximately 300
gallons of fuel per day as well as bringing thousands of people to Edmond who otherwise may not have
visited. Harbor Square is also doing very well. In response to a question whether the whale watching tours
have resulted in an increase in overnight stays, Mr. McChesney was uncertain how much could be
attributed to the whale watching tours but Harbor Inn has been full all summer. Puget Sound Express has
booking arrangements with various tour groups in Seattle and Snohomish County that bring busloads of
people to Edmonds. He summarized it was a good illustration of the power of tourism and economic
development. He thanked Mr. Doherty for his assistance with bringing them to the Port.

2. AMENDMENTS TO AGENDA
Economic Development & Community Services Director Doherty suggested adding to the end of the
agenda a discussion about the date of the next EDC meeting.
3. APPROVAL OF EDC MINUTES OF 8/19/15
COMMISSIONER WIPPEL MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SWARTZ TO
APPROVE THE MINUTES OF 8/19/15. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
4. COMMISSIONER APPOINTMENTS IF EDC IS EXTENDED
Mr. Doherty explained the EDC has a sunset date of December 31, 2015. With regard to whether the
terms of Commissioners would also be extended if the EDC were extend, the code states all terms expire
commensurate with the sunset date. Therefore, if the EDC is extended by Council, new and/or
Packet Page 227 of 416
Draft Minutes
Economic Development Commission
October 21, 2015
Page 2
reappointments would need to be made. He explained the Council could allow the EDC to sunset or
extend the EDC with or without changes to its composition.
Councilmember Petso reported she and Councilmembers Bloom and Mesaros met with Mr. Doherty and
Development Services Director Shane Hope today to discuss the EDC and plan to meet again next
Thursday. They will gather data and bring information to the Council for further discussion. She
encouraged Commissioners to share suggestions, concerns, comments with all Councilmembers regarding
whether and how the EDC should be extended.
Vice Chair Rubenkonig explained there have been discussions by the EDC, Council and staff regarding
several options related to the EDC, 1) allow it to sunset because it has served its purpose, 2) alter the
structure, 3) extend as is, 4) split into three group along the lines of the current subgroups, or 5) other
possibilities. He encouraged Commissioners to provide input to Councilmembers, Mr. Doherty, Chair
Schindler or him.
Mr. Doherty recalled at the Council retreat the Council identified several issues they wanted to study in a
smaller group; the EDC was one of those issues. Those groups have met 2-3 times and provided reports to
the full Council with either a recommendation or issues they identified.
5. OVERVIEW OF 2016 GOALS AND 2016 LEADERSHIP
Vice Chair Rubenkonig explained each subgroup has developed goals for 2016+. A representative from
each subgroup will present. He encouraged Commissioners to consider how the goals overlap or leave
gaps. Presentations and discussion will occur tonight and a decision will be made at the next meeting
about adopting goals for 2016. Assuming the EDC is extended, these would be the goals to work toward.
This effort is in response to concern the EDC and subgroups did not have a clear direction. He also
encouraged Commissioners to think about their own position on the EDC and whether they were
interested in a leadership role because if the EDC is extended, new leadership will be elected in 2016.
6. SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS: Two Areas Subgroups Want to Focus on for 2016
a. Strategic Action Plan
Commissioner Stern relayed:
• Council approved the EDC’s original request to create a SAP in March 2010
• Council approved the SAP in April 2013 by a vote of 6 to 1.
• Council approved the revision of the SAP in April 2015 by a vote of 5 to 2.
• Council is moving toward updating the public input to the SAP in 2016. With staff’s help we
have made progress in showing the public the progress on many SAP items. With staff’s
resources already stretched, the EDC can help with getting things updated and ready for more
public input.
• The 2016 budget will likely have enough resources to add staff. The SAP consultant has
recommended additional staff to assist in the implementation of the SAP. The EDC can help
outline the best ways to proceed.
• The EDC is due to sunset in about 90 days. This may be the last opportunity to communicate with
Council before they decide what new tasks they will give to the EDC for 2016
• The SAP subcommittee has completed its initial work and is asking the EDC to help pass along
suggestions to Council for further action
• These suggestions are intended to respond to Council’s stated wishes about the SAP and show
Council our willingness to work on various elements of the SAP to provide added input. The
EDC is listed as a participant and can offer ideas on those and other elements to the leads to
advance the work on each element before formulating a public input process to update the SAP.

She reviewed a list of potential motions related to the EDC formally communicating to the Council its
willingness to work on elements of the SAP.
Vice Chair Rubenkonig commented the most valuable thing the EDC offers is Commissioners’
involvement in other groups and sharing the EDC’s ideas with those other groups.
b. Business Districts Enhancements
Commissioner Reece reviewed the subgroup’s 2016 priorities:
• Collaboration
o Cultivate and refine ideas through robust discussion while finding synergies to further the
goals of the Travel & Tourism and Strategic Action Plan subcommittees as well as the
Commission at large.
o Work with the Council and staff on topics that they collectively identify as EDC study areas
• Five Corners and Hospital District
o Leverage ongoing development of Hospital District through exploration of concepts to
enhance the Five Corners, 212th Street and 76th Avenue corridors
• Revitalizing Highway 99
• Esperance Annexation Opportunities
o Business implications
o Effect of Snohomish County zoning on Edmonds
• Firdale & Perrinville
o Consider broader discussion with residential and business stakeholders in these communities
• Hotel Accommodations
o Collaborate with Travel & Tourism Subcommittee to grow the available capacity of rooms
Discussion followed regarding areas of Perrinville that are in Edmonds and in Lynnwood, ways to
enhance business districts, how to attract new businesses and/or expand existing businesses, information
available on the City’s website regarding business districts, and assistance the EDC provides to economic
development staff.
c. Tourism
Commissioner Dewhirst highlighted the following ideas and suggestions for future projects:
• Tourism for ferry users and commuters, may include whale-watching tours
o How to get people to stop in Edmonds
• Tourism ideas along the Hwy 99 corridor
• Ideas for tourism infrastructure
o Connections
o Hotels
o Transportation
o Signage
o Parking downtown and waterfront
o Enhance current facilities, places, events
Regional sports
Tournaments
• Renewed focus on downtown public restrooms if it does not survive the budget process
• Challenges: A lot of ideas, but without budget, need to get others involved
d. Discussion on Items Presented
Vice Chair Rubenkonig invited Commissioners to comment on gaps, things that are important to
individual Commissioners, issues that overlap, issues completely overlooked, etc.:
Packet Page 229 of 416
Draft Minutes
Economic Development Commission
October 21, 2015
Page 4
• Need to identify a solution to downtown and waterfront parking
o BID is also considering parking
• Need to develop a unified signage program
• EDC needs to identify #1 priority
o Limited resources
o Low hanging fruit has been done, harder issues rising to surface
o Identify 1-3 priorities that everyone works on
• Highway 99 could be a top priority
o Council approved funds in 2015 budget for planning process for Hwy 99 corridor and
anticipate additional funds in 2016 budget. In process of hiring consultant.
o Funds the legislature allocated for physical improvements on Hwy 99 are in the later years of
a 16-year capital budget; working with lobbyist to move that up.
o Major impetuses for Hwy 99 study are commercial/retail aspects of corridor, enhance
commercial with housing, hospital zone and making the area more walkable.
o Major challenges include the area that is in unincorporated Snohomish County (Esperance)
and consultants need to consult with property owners on Hwy 99.
• Priorities are identified in the SAP
o EDC review SAP for items subgroups could assist with
o Many of SAP items are bigger, longer term issues
• Collaborate with nongovernmental organization in Edmonds such as Chamber and BID
o Build on scarecrow festival with Octoberfest, Harvest Festival, etc.
o Use other organization’s resources to pursue EDC’s ideas
• Coordinate the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) with the SAP
• Esperance annexation
o Time may be right to revisit due to residents’ concern with Snohomish County’s planning
policies
o Primarily residential, requires a lot of City services
o Recent changes to GMA makes it easier to annex islands
o Balance cost of residential with advantages of annexing Hwy 99 properties
o Be aware of burden of annexed areas due to lack of stormwater, infrastructure, parks, etc.
o Consider how future development of commercially zoned parcels in Esperance effects the
economic value of the business district
o Quality of life issues for Edmonds neighborhoods bordered by Esperance due to effect of
Snohomish County’s more liberal codes
o Need to analyze additional costs, revenue potential from redevelopment on Hwy 99
o Hwy 99 also borders SR-104, could enhance character of Edmonds, provide visual gateway
• Hwy 99 is Edmonds’ adult entertainment district, look at uses that could raise revenue
Vice Chair Rubenkonig asked the three subgroups to discuss their goals again in view of tonight’s
discussion. The subgroups’ goals will be briefly discussed again at the next meeting and a determination
made regarding what to adopt as the EDC’s 2016 goals.
7. COUNCIL LIAISONS' COMMENTS
Councilmember Petso reiterated now is a good time for Commissioners to contact all Councilmembers
regarding the future of the EDC.
8. PLANNING BOARD UPDATE
Planning Board Member Lovell reported the Planning Board held a public hearing on the CFP and the
CIP; there were no citizen comments. The plans are very robust and include City funds as well as grants.
The Planning Board was also provided an introduction to the Hwy 99 Study. At the remaining 2015
Packet Page 230 of 416
Draft Minutes
Economic Development Commission
October 21, 2015
Page 5
meetings, the Board will continue discussing the Hwy 99 Study, be provided an update on the
development code update, and discuss potential amendments to the residential parking code.
9. PORT OF EDMONDS UPDATE
Port Commissioner Bruce Faires reported the Commission’s primary focus is the 2016 budget and the
capital spending plan. The Port’s budget is $8 million/year, the majority from boat tenants and rental
tenants. The marina was rebuilt in 1995/1996; the Commission’s goal is to ensure the residents of the Port
District do not have to pay for future improvements, that revenue from tenants provides funds/resources
to rebuild the marina in the future. The Port recently changed the insurance requirement for all tenants,
requiring all tenants to have $500,000 liability. He reported the intent to have new prefab restroom
buildings in the mid marina and the south marina open by year end. Funds were included in the budget to
renovate the landscaping at the southwest corner of Dayton & SR 104.
From the Port’s perspective, Commissioner Faires said it makes sense for the EDC to focus its efforts on
elements of the SAP that are material to the economic wellbeing of community and suggested using that
as a guideline for the EDC’s efforts. A brief discussion followed regarding prohibiting public access to
restrooms in south marina, the City providing restrooms at Marina Beach, and other public restrooms on
the waterfront.
10. COMMISSIONERS’ CORNER – TOPICS FOR POTENTIAL DISCUSSION FOR NEXT METING
Topics for next meeting:
• Mr. Doherty provide an update on the SAP at the November meeting
• Discuss and vote on 2016 goals
Comments included:
• Commissioner Dewhirst advised he was stepping down as the Chair of the Tourism Subgroup.
• Commissioner Reece suggested the EDC sign a letter of recommendation for Student
Representative Kahn.
• Commissioner Hughes said it feels like the EDC is moving again and she was glad goals and
forward process were being identified regardless of whether the EDC sunsets. If the EDC changes
or does not exist, that work and those priorities will still be in front of the City Council and
community.
• Port Commissioner Faires recommended the current EDC membership be retained. He did not
support dividing the EDC into separate groups as that would weaken its advocacy role and may
result in missing opportunities in the future.
• Mr. Doherty reported the Holiday Market will be open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. November 21 through
December 19 in the parking lot next to City Hall. He invited Commissioners to take posters.
• Mr. Doherty reported the Planning Board has rescheduled its meeting to November 18. It was
agreed the EDC’s next meeting will remain on November 18.
11. AUDIENCE COMMENTS – None
12. ADJOURN
With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:51 p.m.
Next Meeting: November 18, 2015 6:00 p.m.

TO: CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: PATRICK DOHERTY, DIRECTOR,
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
SUBJECT: CITIZENS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
OPTIONS FOR 2016 AND BEYOND
DATE: NOVEMBER 10, 2015
_____________________________________________________________________________________
On June 2, 2009, the Edmonds City Council passed Ordinance 3735, creating the Citizens
Economic Development Commission (CEDC), with a sunset date of 12/31/10. By Ordinance
3808, passed on 10/5/10, the sunset date was extended till 12/31/11. By Ordinance 3868,
passed on 12/20/11, the sunset date was extended till 4/29/12. Finally Ordinance No. 3876,
passed on 3/20/12, established a sunset date for the Commission of 12/31/15.
Enshrined in the Edmonds City Code at Chapter 10.75, the CEDC’s Powers and Duties are laid
out in Section 10.75.030, as follows:
A. The commission is empowered to advise and make recommendations to the
mayor and city council, and as appropriate to the planning commission,
architectural design board or other boards or commissions of the city on such
matters as may be specifically referred to the commission by the mayor or city
council, including but not limited to:
1. Determining new strategies for economic development within the city of
Edmonds;
2. Identifying new sources of revenue as a direct result of economic
development projects for the consideration of the city council.
B. The commission shall deliver an annual report to the city council in written and
oral form on or about the first meeting in December of every year, and when
appropriate, during other times as directed by the mayor or council.
C. The Edmonds economic development commission may from time to time
provide its reports and recommendations regarding strategies for economic
development and other matters that will improve commercial viability, tourist
development and activity within the city. The planning board and economic
development commission shall make joint recommendations on such subjects to
the city council on or about the first meeting in December.
Packet Page 232 of 416
At the 2015 City Council Retreat a study subgroup was called for to study and discuss the CEDC,
its purpose, usefulness, meeting format, subgroups, and whether to extend the Commission or
allow it to sunset. This subgroup, comprised of Councilmembers Bloom, Mesaros and Petso,
met informally in October and discussed these issues, offering several observations and/or
recommendations to be shared with full Council to inform decision-making on these issues.
Issues raised during the discussions:
• Understanding clear purpose and charter for the Commission as well as its subgroups
(recently: tourism, business district enhancement and Strategic Action Plan [SAP]). Is
there a commonly held and clearly articulated definition of economic development
shared by the Commissioners?
• Costs associated with staffing the Commission and its subgroups. Currently staff times
runs on the order of 15 hours/month in staff time (valued at approximately
$1,000/month although not an additional expenditure, more of an “opportunity cost”),
plus direct expenditure of approximately $133/month for meeting support (meeting
summary-taker and door monitor). Additional meeting notice, summary-taking and/or
door monitor time (associated with subgroups and/or greater number of commissions)
would incur similar monthly direct expenditure costs, in addition to staff time to prepare
and post notices (not direct expenditure; “opportunity cost”).
• Potential overlap with other commissions/groups on certain issues, such as land-use-
related discussions potentially overlapping with Planning Board jurisdiction, or
Downtown parking issues overlapping with the Edmonds Downtown Alliance (BID), e.g.
• Transparency of subgroup discussions, and whether the subgroup meetings should be
provided public notice and meeting summaries taken. A related issue was whether
subgroups should be determined by City Council or should be created by the
Commission either as set subgroups or ad hoc, issue-specific subgroups.
• The number of Commissioners (17). Does the large membership provide a broad
spectrum of expertise, interest, experience and perspective? Does it create an
environment that is/is not conducive to group discussion on important issues?
• Whether the Commission should be broken up into two or three separate commissions,
more directly focused on subject matters such as those currently under the purview of
the subgroups (i.e., tourism, business district enhancement, SAP)?
• Whether the Commission meeting format is conducive to fruitful discussions.
Packet Page 233 of 416
• Whether the Commission should be allowed to sunset or be extended. If extended, will
there be another sunset clause or will it be extended indefinitely? (It was noted that no
other City commission has a sunset clause.)
Options offered by the City Council study subgroup members:
1. Extend the Commission as is:
a. Without sunset clause
b. With sunset clause. Number of years till sunset to be determined.
2. Extend the Commission as is:
a. With terms of appointees since 2014 extended to run two full years till since
appointment; others to be reappointees or new appointees.
b. All members being reappointed or newly appointed.
c. With term limits
d. Without term limits
3. Extend the Commission as is:
a. With set number and purpose of subgroups. If so, two or three subgroups:
i. If two subgroups:
1. Tourism
2. Business Growth & Revitalization
ii. If three subgroups:
1. Tourism
2. Business Growth & Revitalization
3. Strategic Action Plan (for items assigned to the EDC or Economic
Development Department OR for stewardship of future public
engagement processes)
b. Allowing the Commission to set and determine subgroups as needed, within the
scope of their role per code
4. Extend the Commission as 9 members only
5. Sunset the Commission but create two or three new commissions:
a. If two:
i. Tourism
ii. Business Growth & Revitalization
b. If three:
i. Tourism
ii. Business Growth & Revitalization
iii. Strategic Action Plan
Packet Page 234 of 416
6. Related to Commission subgroups, if they exist:
a. Require public notice and meeting summaries
b. Do not require public notice, yet require meeting summaries

Actively Pursue
Accelerate Funding for the SR 99 Edmonds Gateway Project
The Legislature provided $10 million in the 2021-23 biennium for the concept design,
environmental work, and design development of the SR 99 Edmonds Gateway project. Pursue
shifting full funding to the 2015-17 biennium, enabling earlier progress on the design work and
Packet Page 237 of 416

allowing Edmonds to leverage other sources of funds for construction of this project. Note that
the City has launched a Highway 99 planning process, which will help guide project priorities,
especially for pedestrian improvements.
Capital Project Funding for Frances Anderson Center
We are seeking $350,000 in capital funding to repair/replace the aging Frances Anderson
Center roofs, now experiencing frequent and costly leaks and associated damage.
Support
Bolster Resources for Infrastructure Investment
Continue to support efforts to restore support for critical infrastructure programs that help
cities grow and prosper. Halt diversion of funds from programs, such as the Public Works
Assistance Account, the result of which means that communities cannot affordably maintain
and secure new infrastructure. Other creative, statewide approaches and/or incentives for
local infrastructure funding should also be considered.
In addition, join Snohomish County officials in advocating for additional funding for projects in
the Multimodal Transportation 30-year Plan that remain unfunded.
Public Records Cost Recovery and Privacy
Continue to support legislation to strengthen the Public Records Act in response to changing
technology and burdensome, increasingly costly requests. Support legislation that helps to
provide cost recovery for local agencies in the growing area of electronic records requests, and
for public records clearly for commercial purposes. Additionally, clarify retention and disclosure
requirements for audio and visual records. Support legislative efforts to reduce costs of
retaining these records, as well as efforts to clarify retention requirements and to provide
sufficient privacy protection for members of the public who appear in audio/video records.
Public Defense Costs
Continue to support efforts to provide a state revenue stream for additional city public defense
costs as a result of the State Supreme Court’s mandated caseload rule for public defenders.
Emergency Responsiveness
As a result of recent disasters and emergencies (wildfire, landslides, etc.), support cities’
requests for better ways to address emergency management, including improved ways to
coordinate response and communication among agencies, authority to ban fireworks during
dangerous situations, etc.

Rulemaking and Fiscal Notes
Support efforts to include an analysis of “do no harm” to cities when the State proposes new
rules or legislation. Likewise, fiscal notes accompanying legislation should include both the
financial costs and benefits (currently only costs are analyzed).
Property Tax Growth
Support provisions that would give municipalities a local-option to permit property tax revenue
to exceed the 1% limit and grow with indicators of cost growth.
EMS Levy
Support efforts to amend the current EMS levy limit of $0.50 per $1,000 of assessed valuation
(AV) to a local option of $0.75 per $1,000.
Washington Wildlife & Recreation Program (WWRP)
Support recommended steps to update and improved the 25-year-old WWRP program – for
example, with recommendations for more local parks funding into projects that will upgrade
and renovate existing facilities. Meanwhile, join other stakeholders in working to ensure that
the basic structure and integrity of the WWRP remain intact through any 2016 legislative
overhaul of the program.
Clarifying and Reinforcing Recreational Liability Immunity for Multi-Purpose Trails
Support 2016 legislation being promoted by the City of Mercer Island to reinforce recreational
liability immunity for trails used by bicyclists. This issue has been clouded by the recent Camicia
v Howard S. Wright Construction and City of Mercer Island case. WRPA will work to ensure that
no current recreational immunity protection be undermined in any legislation.
Capital Project Funding for Edmonds Senior/Community Center
Support the Edmonds Senior/Community Center’s continuing efforts to secure funding for their
proposed new community center on the Edmonds waterfront.

DETAIL OF MONITOR/POTENTIALLY SUPPORT ITEMS
GENERAL
Growth Management Act Review
Some legislative discussion rose last year—and will probably come up again--about doing a “big
look” at the Growth Management Act and perhaps assembling some kind of commission or
study to evaluate it and suggest reforms. Depending on the nature of any study, this could
affect cities’ interest in the environment, infrastructure, or reducing sprawl.
Human Services, Homelessness and Affordable Housing
Support efforts to enhance the human services programs to address issues that drive increased
homelessness and public safety concerns.
Fiscal Sustainability
Continue to support efforts to ensure sufficient, stable and flexible revenue for essential city
services.
Environmental Issues
Monitor and potential support potential environmental-protection measures, including those
that would enhance the Puget Sound ecosystem, salmon recovery, drought management, toxics
control and clean-up, as well as measures associated with climate change, crumb rubber
athletic field infill, etc.
OTHER JURISDICTION/AGENCY PROPOSALS
The City of Edmonds will also monitor and may potentially support the efforts proposed by
other jurisdictions and agencies that may accrue benefit to Edmonds and Snohomish County:
Advanced Composites Center Manufacturing Institute
Proposals, funding or otherwise to bring an advanced composites center to Snohomish County
to support diversification and new industry growth opportunities.
Washington Tourism Marketing Authority
Legislation establishing an industry-funded Washington Tourism Marketing Authority to
contract for statewide tourism-marketing services.
Supplemental Funding for Coordinated Prevention Grants
Packet Page 241 of 416
Edmonds 2016 Legislative Agenda - APPENDIX
Page 3 of 4

Restore funding to the Coordinated Prevention Grant Program (CPG) that was cut in the 2015-
17 Capital Budget. CPGs fund the operation and regulation of local solid-waste facilities, reduce
exposure to toxins, and support resources-conservation through recycling and reuse programs.
Public Health
Establish dedicated state funding for public health and support funding for marijuana
prevention. Pursue legislation regulating the sale and use of vapor devices and authorizing
public health nurses to dispense drugs for family planning and communicable diseases.
Improve Washington State’s Economic Climate
Improve the state’s economic climate, including attracting private investment, funding STEM
education, building necessary infrastructure, reducing the state’s regulatory burden, funding CERB
and workforce education, and maintaining the $.09 Rural Economic Development Sales Tax Credit.
The State should also focus on policies that promote growth for small- and mid-sized businesses.
Increase Funding for Local Economic Development Programs
Increase investment in local economic development programs to ensure appropriate funding
successful job growth. Priority programs include Associate Development Organizations, the
Community and Economic Revitalization Board, “economic gardening” programs, Startup
Washington 365, Innovation Partnership Zones, local workforce training programs and Department
of Commerce initiatives to market Washington as the best place in the world to operate a business.
Reinstate Research and Development Tax Incentive
Reinstate the Research and Development tax incentives. Maintain key tax policies that lead to job
recruitment, retention and expansion including Business & Occupation (B&O) tax credits, aerospace
incentives, and food processing and agricultural incentives.
In addition, all tax incentives should be reviewed periodically to ensure that they provide intended
returns.
Workforce Development – Career and Technical Education
Prioritize career and technical education as the funding for K-12 education continues to
increase. Proactively engage the broader business community in all strategic planning and
implementation for how to target career and technical education investments to ensure that
our young adults are best prepared for careers in greatest demand.
REET for Affordable Housing
Seattle Mayor Murray intends to seek legislation that would enable cities to impose up an
additional 0.25% Real Estate Excise Tax by vote of city council, dedicated for investments in
affordable housing. The REET revenue would go to construction and M&O of housing affordable
to renters earning up to 60% of area median income and home-owners earning up to 80% of
Packet Page 242 of 416
Edmonds 2016 Legislative Agenda - APPENDIX
Page 4 of 4

area median income. Such affordable housing would need to remain serving the targeted
income groups for 50 years.
Local-Option Housing Preservation Property Tax Exemption
Mayor Murray also intends to seek legislation that would enable cities to provide a customized
property tax exemption to owners of existing affordable housing properties who agree to
restrict rents to prescribed income cohorts for a minimum period of time. Income thresholds,
numbers of units per property, time periods, etc., would all be customized by each jurisdiction.
The properties would also be held to minimum housing quality standards, such as the Uniform
Physical Conditions Standard, for which the tax exemption would free up funds to allow
property owners to make needed repairs.
Governor’s “Healthiest Next Generation” Initiative
The Governor’s Office 2016 Supplemental Operating Budget added permanent funding for
staffing associated with the “Healthiest Next Generation” initiative. Ensure that for purposes of
the 2017-19 budget, the Governor’s Office and the Department of Health are working toward
“built environment” and parks/recreation investments that can enhance public health, guard
against obesity, and improve access to the outdoors and to open space for those who need it
most.

Fishing Pier Rehabilitation Project Bid Authorization
Recommendation
Staff recommends this item be approved for inclusion in the consent agenda at the Council business
meeting next week.
Previous Council Action
On February 18, 2014, Council authorized the extension of an ILA with the Washington State
Department of Fish and Wildlife for $190,000 to cover the design services for the Edmonds Fishing Pier
Rehabilitation Project. On October 21, 2014, Council approved the mayor to sign a contract for those
design services with BergerABAM, for a total of $128,600.
Narrative
The Edmonds Fishing Pier, per an agreement made upon its construction in the late 1970s, has
always been owned by the WDFW and operated by the City of Edmonds. Since its construction, nothing
comprehensive has been undertaken to address the structural deterioration that would reasonably accrue
to any facility built in a marine environment that long ago. In October of last year, BergerABAM was
awarded a consultant contract for the design phase of the Fishing Pier Rehabilitation Project, at a fee
proposal of $128,600. This project will restore the pier and make it a sound and usable structure for the
next 20-40 years. The costs of the design work were completely reimbursed to the City by grant funding
from the state, as approved in the interlocal agreement the Council authorized earlier in 2014.
Design for this project was completed in June of this year, and the state legislature approved $800,000 of
additional grant funding for the project with the new biennial budget in July. The grant agreement for
this sum will be before the Council for its approval within two weeks. When this amount is combined
with funding already made available (2012 state capital funds of $200,000, 2012 ALEA funds of
$500,000, and a City of Edmonds match of $100,000) the project has a total of $1,600,000 dedicated to its
completion. The most recent construction estimate was $1,437,000. Now it is time to move forward with
the work itself.
The pier, unfortunately, must be closed during the construction period to allow the contractor the
opportunity to perform the work without endangering the public. To minimize the impact of this closure,
a period from March 15, 2016 until early June has been targeted for the work to occur. In order keep to
this schedule, the project must be advertised for bids by mid-December, with an anticipated bid opening
date of January 14, 2016. With the approval of the full Council at the meeting next week, staff will
Packet Page 244 of 416
initiate the bid period for this public works project so this sorely needed set of repairs can get underway.

Discussion on Proposed 2016-2021 Capital Facilities Plan/Capital Improvement Program
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the 2016-2021 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and an ordinance be
prepared to adopt the 2016-2021 Capital Facilities Plan with the approval of the 2016 Budget.
Previous Council Action
On September 22, 2015, Council reviewed the Draft Capital Facilities Plan and Capital Improvement
Program.
On October 27, 2015, a public hearing was held to receive public comment.
Narrative
The City's Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is a document updated annually that identifies capital projects for
at least the next six years which support the City's Comprehensive Plan. The CFP contains a list of
projects that need to be expanded or will be new capital facilities in order to accommodate the City's
projected population growth in accordance with the Growth Management Act. Thus, capital projects that
preserve existing capital facilities are not included in the CFP. These preservation projects are identified
within the six-year capital improvement program (CIP) along with capital facility plan projects which
encompass the projected expenditure needs for all city capital related projects.
CIP vs. CFP
The CFP and CIP are not the same thing; they arise from different purposes and are in response to
different needs. While the CIP is a budgeting tool that includes capital and maintenance projects, tying
those projects to the various City funds and revenues, the CFP is intended to identify longer term capital
needs (not maintenance) and be tied to City levels of service standards. The CFP is also required to be
consistent with the other elements (transportation, parks, etc) of the Comprehensive Plan, and there are
restrictions as to how often a CFP can be amended. There are no such restrictions tied to the CIP.
The proposed 2016-2021 CFP is attached as Exhibit 1. The CFP has three project sections comprised of
General, Transportation and Stormwater. The proposed 2016-2021 CIP is attached as Exhibit 2. The CIP
has two sections related to general and parks projects and each project list is organized by the City's
financial fund numbers. Exhibit 3 is a comparison that shows added, deleted and changed projects
between last year's CFP/CIP to the proposed CFP/CIP.
Packet Page 246 of 416
The CFP and CIP were presented and a public hearing was held at the Planning Board meeting on
October 14, 2015. The Planning Board recommended the CFP and CIP be forwarded to the City Council
for approval. The minutes from the Planning Board meeting are attached as Exhibit 4.

W. The modeling in the 2009 Transportation Plan indicated that restricting northbound and
southbound traffic to right-turn-only (prohibiting left-turn and through movements) would also
address the deficiency identified at this location through 2025. This is same alternative as one
concluded by consultant in 2007 study but not recommended by City Council. This could be
implemented as an alternate solution, or as an interim solution until traffic signal warrants are
met. The ex. LOS is F (below City Standards: LOS D). This project was ranked #6 in the
Roadway Project Priority in the 2015 Transportation Plan.
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: Improve traffic flow characteristics and safety at the
intersection. The improvement would modify LOS to A, but increase the delay along 196th St.
SW.
SCHEDULE: The intersection LOS must meet MUTCD traffic signal warrants and be approved
by WSDOT since 196th St. SW is a State Route (SR524). No funding is currently allocated to
this project (pending grant funding).

PROJECT NAME: Willow Creek Daylighting ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $5,825,000
Edmonds Marsh as seen from the viewing platform. Previously restored section of Willow Creek. Source:
www.unocaledmonds.info/clean-up/gallery.php
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Building on the studies completed in 2013 and 2015 that assessed the
feasibility of daylighting the Willow Creek channel, this project will likely construct a new tide gate and
1,100 linear ft of new creek channel lined with an impermeable membrane. Funds will be used for
design and construction but exact breakdown cannot be assessed at this time.
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: The daylighting of Willow Creek will help reverse the negative
impacts to Willow Creek and Edmonds Marsh that occurred when Willow Creek was piped in the early
1960s. This project will provide habitat for salmonids, including rearing of juvenile Chinook. This project,
along with its companion CIP projects “Edmonds Marsh Channel Improvements” and “Dayton Street
Pump Station,” will also help reduce the flooding problem at the intersection of SR-104 and Dayton
Street.

PROJECT NAME: Perrinville Creek High Flow
Reduction/Management Project
ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $2,345,000
Perrinville Creek Channel illustrating the channel incision that
will be addressed by restoration.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A flow reduction study for the Perrinville Creek basin was
completed in 2014. This study recommended a number of flow control and water quality
projects to improve the conditions in Perrinville Creek. The City applied for and won a grant
from the Department of Ecology for $633,750 to design and construct a stormwater infiltration
facility in Seaview Park. The 2016 and 2017 budgets are for that facility. The dollars allocated
in the out years are to implement additional water quality and flow control projects in the
Perrinville Creek basin as recommended by the Flow Reduction Study.
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: Urbanization of the Perrinville Creek Basin has increased
flows in the creek, incision of the creek, and sedimentation in the low-gradient downstream
reaches of the creek. Before any habitat improvements can be implemented, the flows must be
controlled or these improvements will be washed away.

PROJECT NAME: Parklet Development, 4th
Avenue Cultural Corridor
ESTIMATED PROJECT COST: $80,000
A parklet is a small urban park that is made by creating a sidewalk extension that provides
more space and amenities for people using the street. Usually parklets are installed on top of
parking lanes and use one or more parking spaces, but do not permanently impact the
underlying street. Parklets typically extend out from the sidewalk at the level of the sidewalk to
the width of the adjacent parking space creating a patio and seating area, often including
plantings. Parklets are public space and open to everyone.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Develop one or more parklets on the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor.
The first parklet will be created on Sprague St. just east of 4th Avenue on the north side, based
on site concepts in the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor Plan. The design will be developed with
Parks crew and an artist/landscape consultant.
PROJECT BENEFIT/ RATIONALE: Provide a small urban park along the 4th Avenue Cultural
Corridor with views of Puget Sound and seating on a popular walking route. Parklets as a
resting and a gathering space highlight the social function integral to streets. The importance of
additional small gathering spaces is referred to in both the Community Cultural Plan and the
PROS Plan.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF AGENDA
The agenda was accepted as presented.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Courtney Hamilton, Edmonds, proposed a ban on crumb rubber use on all fields in the City of Edmonds. Crumb rubber is
a synthetic mix of dangerous chemicals that were never meant to be played on. There are multiple levels of exposure:
chemicals are absorbed through simple dermal contact; rubber pieces are swallowed during normal sports play; dust is spread
into surrounding areas and tracked into homes; heavy metals in the chemical make-up of crumb rubber could leach into
ground water, streams and other bodies of water; and athletes, neighbors and students will inhale Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC’s) and tire dust. She referred to a study released in June of 2015 by Yale University and Encompass
Home Health Insurance, which found that of the 96 chemicals detected in crumb rubber, a little under half have had no
toxicity assessments done on them for their health effects. The other half have had some toxicity testing done on them, but
many have incomplete toxicity assessments. Of the half that had toxicity assessments, 20% are probable carcinogens. David
Brown, Sc.D., Public Health Toxicologist, explained that “chemicals are usually assessed for their toxicity one chemical at a
time. Synergistic effects of being exposed to numerous chemicals at the same time are not known.”
Ms. Hamilton observed that those who support the use of crumb rubber argue that even though crumb rubber contains
carcinogens, players only get a limited exposure, and studies thus far all assume this limited exposure position. However,
Packet Page 400 of 416
APPROVED
Planning Board Minutes
October 14, 2015 Page 2
direct experience with the fields conflicts with such hypothesis and assertions. Some players, especially goalies, get repeated
and routine exposure to the loose sand-like material and the dust that results from its continual degradation. No study has
provided adequate assurances of safety, and there are so many chemicals of concern with this issue. At some point, it must
be recognized that the ability to understand exactly how cancerous materials interact in the human environment is limited.
She noted that the Precautionary Principle states that, “if an action or policy has a suspected risk of harm, in the absence of
proof that the action or policy is harmful, the burden of proof is on those taking the action.” Following this principle, the
social responsibility is to protect the public from harm. New studies, combined with the growing list of young athletes with
cancer, should be a clear call to stop the use of crumb rubber. We should not be installing fields of old tires and assuming
they are safe. We know there are carcinogens in them, and we know there will be exposure. The only question is how much
exposure, and kids should not be used as the guinea pigs in order to answer that question.
Kristy Davis, Brier, said she has a PhD in Health Services Research. She commented that her favorite quote is from Susan
Wuerthele, a former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) toxicologist who is now retired, who said, “The EPA made a
mistake in promoting this. That’s my personal point of view. This is a serious no brainer. You take something with all kinds
of hazardous materials and make it something kids play on. It seems like a dumb idea.” Ms. Davis observed that when
crumb rubber supporters claim that the health risks are minimal, they often point to studies or health risk assessments that
supposedly prove this. However, it is important to understand that the assessments are component-based and assume that you
can estimate the total risk of a mixture by summing the risks of all the individual components. The risk from each
component is roughly assumed to be the amount and duration of the exposure, multiplied by the toxicity. There is a problem
with this approach because they don’t have any information on the toxicity of half of the chemicals, and information on the
other half is very limited. For example, the Connecticut Study is often referred to as one of the primary studies, but just 13
chemicals were included in its risk assessment. One of them was benzo(a)pyrene, and the carcinogenicity of that was based
off a single study of about 100 hamsters. The carcinogenicity of four other chemicals was based on their relative potency
compared to benzo(a)pyrene. So the toxicity of five of the chemicals used in the health risk assessment was based off a
single study of 100 hamsters. She further observed that even if the researchers had perfect toxicity data and perfect exposure
data, they would still have been using an invalid technique for calculating risk. Crumb rubber is a complex mixture with
dozens of chemicals that can interact with each other in complex and unpredictable ways once inside the human body.
Complex mixtures must be studied as whole mixtures like cigarette smoke, toxic soil from Love Canal, or diesel fumes. The
EPA guidelines for health risk assessments of chemical mixtures define a complex mixture as a mixture containing so many
components that any estimation of its toxicity based on its components’ toxicities contains too much uncertainty and error.
Jen Carrigan, Edmonds, said a recent two-part story done by NBC covered the national issue of the growing early evidence
linking crumb rubber to various forms of cancer in young soccer goalies, as well as the growing national concern of parents
and communities on the use of the product. The story indicated that the Federal Government no longer stands behind its
statement that the material is safe and the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission Chairman, Elliot Kay, has
recently said that “safe to play on means something very different to parents that I don’t think was intended to convey, and I
don’t think we should have conveyed.” In addition, United States Congressman Frank Pallone has also stated, “in the
absence of definitive information on crumb rubber, our children cannot be the guinea pigs.” She pointed out that decision
makers in communities locally and around the country are responding by listening to concerns of constituents and choosing
available non-toxic alternatives.
Ms. Carrigan read the warning label on a bottle of crumb rubber which says, “Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Can cause
irritation. Avoid breathing vapor. Use in a well ventilated area. May cause coughing and lung irritation. If skin contact
occurs, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. If eye contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes. For further precautionary handling information, please review material safety data sheets.” She emphasized that
the bottom of the label says, “Keep out of reach of children.” She pointed out that because crumb rubber is a recycled
product, it is unregulated, and no warning signs are required to be posted on the fields that the kids play on.
Ms. Carrigan said the issue is not going away, and she has had the opportunity to speak with many citizens over the past
months from all over the community and from all walks of life. These people strongly disagree with the choice of putting
material containing carcinogens on our children’s playfields as well as in our environment (open spaces, creeks, and so near
Puget Sound). While out for a walk earlier in the day, she noted many signs on the City’s drains stating “Puget Sound Starts
Here.” She expressed her belief that the Federal Government’s wavering on the safety of the use of crumb rubber gives much
reason to take notice. She believes the City wants to make choices to keep kids healthy. If there is any question or chance
Packet Page 401 of 416
APPROVED
Planning Board Minutes
October 14, 2015 Page 3
that crumb rubber could make children sick or pollute the environment, decisions makers involved in the health and well
being of the children and community have the ability to discontinue the use of the product in Edmonds and on school-owned
property, and to choose non-toxic alternatives. She, along with many other local residents, urged the City to not just listen to
industry-funded and limited biased studies, but also hear from those vested in the lives of children who could be impacted.
She asked them to make the right and safest decision for the community and its youngest citizens and ban the use of crumb
rubber in Edmonds.
Erin Zackey, Edmonds, said she is a science and math teacher in the Edmonds School District, but was present to speak as a
parent of children who are active soccer players. She said she regularly takes her students outside as part of their curriculum,
and she is an avid outdoor enthusiast. She also recognizes that athletic fields are a growing need in the community.
However, as more fields are developed in Edmonds, there are alternatives to crumb rubber. She presented a stack of about
1,000 petitions from concerned community members, all of whom have engaged in conversations about what is the right
thing to do in Edmonds. She said she has family members who are engaged in environmental concerns in the area, and she
knows that millions of dollars are spent in the State trying to clean up old tires from aquatic habitat. The City has done its
best to make sure its ecosystems are healthy for all life. It seems counterintuitive that they are now dumping these materials
back on playfields. Crumb rubber is an unregulated product, and they know that there are other options. As the Board
considers future building code regulations relative to athletic fields, she asked them to keep in mind what is going on
nationally and consider other options and then ban crumb rubber use in Edmonds.
Laura Johnson, Edmonds, advised that the Washington Department of Ecology (DOE) conducted research and put out a
publication called, “Controlling Toxic Chemicals in Puget Sound.” The publication lists 17 main chemicals of the most
concern, chosen because of their high potential to harm the health of people, fish and the Puget Sound ecosystem. She said
she chose to focus her comments on just two from the list, zinc and fire retardants, which are both present in crumb rubber.
Zinc is a component of tires and chemical fire retardants are added to the field because, as a petroleum product, tires are
flammable. She explained that the DOE’s assessment found that the most common pathway that toxic chemicals take to
reach Puget Sound is polluted surface water runoff, which runs into storm drains and then flows mostly unfiltered into Puget
Sound.
Ms. Johnson observed that, in the case of the Woodway Fields, the 2005 stormwater management practices were followed
even though updated 2012 standards considering artificial turf surfaces “pollution generating impervious surfaces.” The zinc
and chemical fire retardants will not be filtered out before reaching Puget Sound. The publication lists ways to reduce the
threat of chemicals in Puget Sound. The smartest, cheapest and healthiest option is to avoid releases. The second option is to
reduce releases by helping people and businesses limit or manage the amount of chemicals that enter the environment. The
most costly option is to clean up after contamination. The publication also lists key actions that include improving the way
we manage polluted surface water runoff and keep it from reaching Puget Sound and reducing the level of pollutants by
finding alternatives to the toxic chemicals.
Ms. Johnson emphasized that everyone shares responsibility for the health of the Sound and reducing pollution. If good land-
use decisions are made today and runoff is controlled, the magnitude of the problem will be smaller for future generations.
The City and its residents can actively support community organizations that work to clean up the waters and insist that
elected leaders make reducing toxic threats a priority. She noted that Edmonds proudly proclaims its participation in the
Puget Sound Starts Here Program, using big banners and bumper stickers on City vehicles. The City’s website also discusses
what is meant by “only rainwater down our storm drains.” It all starts with stormwater runoff, which is the main source of
pollution in Puget Sound. Since storm drains don’t flow into treatment plants, stormwater runoff is discharged, untreated,
directly into lakes and streams and eventually into Puget Sound. These pollutants can harm fish and wildlife populations and
native vegetation and make recreational areas unsafe and unpleasant. She requested that the City honor its commitment to
reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff, follow the advice from the DOE, and live by the mottos, “Puget Sound Starts Here,”
and “Only Rainwater Down Our Drains.” She also asked that the City adopt into its building code, requirements that non-
toxic alternatives to crumb rubber be used in all future athletic and play fields within the City of Edmonds. This move would
help to protect current and future generations of Edmonds citizens and help to care for the health of Puget Sound.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR REPORT TO PLANNING BOARD
Vice Chair Lovell requested clarification of the Historic Preservation Commission’s discussion about adding tree stumps to
the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. Mr. Chave responded that a member of the Commission researched and reported
on the historic value of a remnant tree stump he found in the City. The Commission concluded that the stump did not fit into
the historic preservation program, but they encouraged him to work with the Edmonds Museum and the Parks, Recreation
and Cultural Services Director to gauge interest in providing some type of educational information near the stump. Ms. Hite
reported that she received an email from a Commissioner pointing out several old growth stumps in Yost Park. One, in
particular, shows evidence it was cut down during the timber time when people were falling trees and hauling them to
sawmills along the waterfront. He suggested the City create a path to the stump and install a sign to recognize the history of
the stump. She reported that she and the Parks Maintenance Manager will visit the site with the Commissioner and discuss
ways to identify its historic significance and recognize Edmonds as a timber town.
Board Member Stewart thanked Ms. Hite for following up on the stump idea. She noted that the discovery program does talk
about sumps, but most citizens in Edmonds do not get the benefit of this history because there is no signage available.
Vice Chair Lovell asked if the Tree Board has had any discussion relative to the creation of an Urban Forestry Management
Plan. Ms. Hite advised that the Mayor’s proposed 2016 budget includes funding for an Urban Forestry Management Plan,
and the Planning Division would take the lead on the project, with help from the Tree Board and Planning Board.
PUBLIC HEARING ON CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN (CFP) AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
(CIP) FOR 2016 - 2021
Mr. English started his presentation by providing a diagram to illustrate the components of the CIP and CFP, particularly
noting where the two documents overlap. He explained that both plans identify the six-year capital projects with funding
sources, but the CIP also identifies six-year maintenance projects with funding sources and the CFP identifies long-range (20
year) capital project needs. The CFP is divided into three project sections: General (parks, buildings and regional projects),
Transportation (safety/capacity and pedestrian bicycle projects), and Stormwater. The CIP is organized based on the City’s
financial funds and provides a description of each of the capital projects identified for the six-year period. He provided
pictures to illustrate the work that occurred recently on 228th Street between 76th Avenue West and Highway 99, which will
provide a new east/west corridor along 228th Street to tie Edmonds on the west with Mountlake Terrace on the east. In
addition to the transportation improvements on 228th, a stormwater detention vault was placed under the street to contain
flows collected from adjacent street runoff and mitigate during peak runoff period. He also provided pictures to illustrate the
paving work that was done on 220th Street between 76th Avenue West and Highway 99 using grand funding and local dollars
from the Pavement Preservation Program.
Mr. English reviewed each of the projects under the following funds:
Fund 112 – Transportation
• As part of the Pavement Preservation Program, the City was able to pave 9.6 lane miles of roadway in 2015, and $1.03
million is identified for this program in 2016.
• The 228th Street corridor improvements are currently underway but it is likely that the electrical work and some of the
signal changes will carry over into 2016.
• Phase 3 of the Highway 99 improvements (lighting) is underway in conjunction with the 228th Street corridor
improvements.
• The stormwater portion of the 238th Street walkway project is currently underway, and the walkway will be constructed
later in the year.
• The Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan was updated and adopted in 2015.
• The SR-104 Corridor Study is in its final draft, and it is anticipated the City Council will vote to adopt it next week.
• The biggest project scheduled for 2016 will be the 76th Avenue West/212th Street intersection improvements. The City
has been working on this project for several years, and it is currently in the design and right-of-way acquisition phase.
The goal is to advertise the project in the spring of 2016 and begin construction shortly thereafter.
Packet Page 403 of 416

Planning Board Minutes
October 14, 2015 Page 5
• Citywide bicycle improvements are scheduled for 2016 and will be funded by a grant from Verdant Health Care. The
project is a combined effort that involves the Cities of Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace and Edmonds. It involves adding
bike lanes and signage throughout Lynnwood, Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace.
• They had hoped to move forward with the 236th Street Walkway project in 2015, but it got hung up with right-of-way
issues with the school district. The City is in the process of securing the right-of-way, and the plan is to advertise the
project in 2016.
Funds 125 and 126 – Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)
• REET funds have been allocated into the 112 Fund to pay for the 2016 Pavement Preservation Program.
• A trackside warning system would be installed at Main and Dayton to help alleviate some of the noise caused by the
trains.
• Signal cabinet upgrades are scheduled to occur in 2016.
• Curb ramp upgrades are scheduled for 2016 to comply with the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the
ADA Transition Plan will be updated, as well.
• Funds are identified in 2016 for the ongoing Traffic Calming Program.
• An access management study for Highway 99 would also be funded in 2016 to identify solutions to some of the
existing problems.
• $50,000 has been allocated for the Minor Sidewalk Program that can be used for potential matching funds for larger
grants or to make improvements where sections of sidewalk are missing.
Fund 421 – Water
• In 2015, 8,200 lineal feet of water main was replaced, along with two pressure reduction valves.
• Also in 2015, the City overlaid 1,700 lineal feet of street affected by previous waterline replacement projects.
• In 2016, funding is identified for replacement of 8,000 lineal feet of water main and the replacement of one pressure
reduction valve.
Fund 422 – Stormwater
• The 238th Street Project is a combination of walkway and drainage improvements. A fairly large drainage area will be
connected to the Hickman Park infiltration system, and some additional rain gardens will be constructed.
• The Willow Creek Daylight Feasibility Study will continue into 2016.
• The Southwest Edmonds 105th/106th project is a drainage improvement project that was bid in July of 2015, which was
not the ideal time. They received some high bids, and the City decided to rebid the project in the winter of 2016 with the
hope of getting a better bid.
• The City secured a grant for the Seaview Infiltration Project, and design work will start in 2016 with the plan to build in
2017.
• Work on the Willow Creek/Edmonds Marsh design will continue into 2016, focusing on permitting and environmental
aspects.
• The Stormwater Comprehensive Plan will be updated in 2016 through 2017. It will likely come before the Planning
Board for review and a public hearing in early 2017.
Fund 423 – Sewer/Wastewater Treatment Plant
• 2,700 lineal feet of sewer main will be replaced in 2015, and pavement overlays will be completed on 500 feet of street
affected by sewer main replacements.
• 3,000 feet of sewer main is scheduled for replacement in 2016.
• Also in 2016, a process called cured-in-place pipe will be used to rehabilitate 5,800 feet of existing pipe. This trenchless
method has proven to be a more effective way of taking care of infrastructure.
• Numerous stormwater infiltration and bio-retention work has either been completed or is under construction at this point.
The improvements include:
Packet Page 404 of 416

Planning Board Minutes
October 14, 2015 Page 6
o Bio-swale and infiltration improvements will be done in conjunction with the 228th Street improvements. The
bio-swale will allow water to be infiltrated in place as opposed to flowing into the detention vault across the
street and being released into Lake Ballinger.
o Five new rain gardens and infiltration will be done in conjunction with the 238th Street Walkway improvements.
The rain gardens will be located within the right-of-way.
o Six new rain gardens were constructed on residential properties as part of the Residential Rain Garden Pilot
Program.
o The 105th/106th infiltration project will move forward this next winter.
o Another rain garden is planned on 171st Street in 2016.
Vice Chair Lovell referred to the two-page document that was provided by staff to outline the differences between the 2015
and 2016 CIPs, and noted that a number of projects were deleted. For example, the Meadowdale Beach Road walkway was
deleted from the six-year plan. Mr. English explained that when the Transportation Plan was being updated in 2015, the
Walkway Committee considered projects in the 2009 Transportation Plan, as well as projects identified through the public
process. Each of the projects were evaluated based on a set of criteria, and a new set of priorities was established. Although
all of the projects are still part of the Walkway Program, some were dropped from the six-year CIP as a result of this process.
Vice Chair Lovell asked if there is a process in place to reconcile the projects in the CIP with the priorities identified in the
Strategic Action Plan (SAP). Mr. English said that consideration was given to the SAP throughout the process of updating
the CIP and CFP. However, he cautioned that the SAP does not provide project-specific details so it is hard to reconcile
each of the projects in the CIP with the priorities identified in the SAP. Vice Chair Lovell reminded the Board that the SAP
had a lot of public input, and the community’s priorities are embedded within it. Ms. Hite explained that the SAP was
adopted in March of 2013 and was used as a reference when updating the Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan.
For example, the SAP calls out the community’s desire to encourage partnerships for sports field, creating a spray pad, and
developing parklets and a public restroom in the downtown. These priorities were all addressed in the PROS Plan that was
recently adopted into the Comprehensive Plan, and she used the PROS Plan as her guide when developing the CIP.
Board Member Rubenkonig said she appreciates that the project descriptions contained in the CIP provide information about
where each project originated. This allows her to understand where the source of the priority came from and wraps up the
details of why the projects are in the CIP. Mr. English recalled that Board Member Rubenkonig requested this additional
information last year. Board Member Rubenkonig said she also liked that the language provided rationale and described the
project benefits, particularly related to level of service (LOS). She said she appreciates that sources of information, such as
the 2009 and 2015 Transportation Plan, SR104 Complete Streets Corridor Analysis, and the Safe Routes to Schools Program,
were quoted throughout the CIP to further identify each project’s origination. She suggested the Plan should also give credit
to the citizens groups that provided attention and advocacy for the walkway projects, Highway 99, Sunset Avenue and the
waterfront all-year market.
Board Member Rubenkonig asked Mr. English to clarify the definition for “Non Motorized Transportation.” Mr. English
replied that non-motorized transportation could be a walkway or a trail project (pedestrian and bicycle improvements). Board
Member Rubenkonig asked if the definition is clear that only bicycles and pedestrians can travel on these walkways and
trails. Mr. English answered that certain engineering standards control the use of a path and identify how wide it must be to
accommodate both user groups. Board Member Rubenkonig asked if electric bicycles would be allowed, and Mr. English
answered affirmatively, depending on the width. For example, the Interurban Trail can accommodate electric bicycles and
Segways.
Board Member Rubenkonig asked if it is possible to consider an “all walk” at the traffic signal at the Edmonds Woodway
High School Intersection. Mr. English answered that it is necessary to accommodate a number of different modes of
transportation at this intersection, and it could be a challenge to provide an “all walk” and still meet the LOS requirement.
Board Member Rubenkonig said the project description for the Seaview Infiltration Project did not clearly identify where the
project would be located. Mr. English clarified that the project would be located in Seaview Park and would benefit
Perrinville Creek. The purpose is to pull some of the back flow out of Perrinville Creek to minimize the erosion problems
that are occurring.

Board Member Stewart said she had hoped that the CIP and CFP would include more green infrastructure and sustainable
practices. For example, the CFP makes note of the deteriorating building in City Park, which will be replaced or renovated at
a cost of between $3 and $4 million. She pointed out that Edmonds Woodway High School and Edmonds Community
College offer wonderful architecture and green building programs. She asked if these students could be involved in the
project to bring the cost of design down or if the City is required to use the services of contractors from an approved list. Mr.
English answered that the City could utilize the student’s assistance in designing the building. He explained that, typically,
the City uses a roster or publishes an announcement asking for Statements of Qualification, and a selection committee
reviews the submittals based on qualification and experience. He further explained that public agencies are required to put
projects out to bid, and the lowest responsive bidder receives the contract. He said the City works with a number of different
contractors each year.
Board Member Stewart asked if anyone could bid on the project, and Mr. English answered affirmatively. Board Member
Stewart asked if the City is required to award the contract to the lowest bidder or if the longevity and quality of the proposal
could also be part of the decision. Perhaps it would be appropriate for the City to pay more upfront if a contractor could
ensure the project will be better and last longer. Mr. English said the laws are pretty strict on public bidding and require the
City to accept the lowest responsive bid. However, qualifications and quality can be addressed as part of the Statement of
Qualifications. For example, the City could require a contractor to have a certain level of experience in order to be eligible to
bid on a project. Also, the specifications within the plans, themselves, can identify if certain materials or products must be
used for the project. Board Member Stewart asked if new technology is considered as it comes forward, and Mr. English
answered affirmatively.
Board Member Stewart voiced concern that the CIP identifies millions of dollars for buildings and infrastructure and a
relatively small amount ($200,000) for open space and shoreline acquisition. She explained that when opportunities to
acquire shoreline come up, the cost will be greater than $200,000. She also voiced concern that much of the proposed new
infrastructure is not what she would consider green and natural systems are a better way to go. The amount of stormwater
that is diverted from Puget Sound as a result of the six residential rain gardens that were constructed last week can be
quantified. She suggested that the $2 million that is identified for the Seaview infiltration project would be better used
creating rain gardens. She questioned how City staff can justify spending such a large amount of money on conventional
infrastructure. Mr. English explained that while rain gardens offer a huge benefit in some situations, many of the problems
associated with the existing and inherited conventional systems cannot be addressed by rain gardens because of soils, critical
areas, etc. That being said, the City looks for opportunities to build green infrastructure. While this approach is generally
more efficient and cost effective, it may not be the best answer for every problem. Board Member Stewart said she
understands that the current infrastructure needs to be maintained, but she hopes some consideration would be given to open
space acquisition when addressing future flow control. This greener approach would do a better job than conventional
infrastructure, as well. She said she would not support the proposed CIP and CFP if it does not include this more green
approach.
Board Member Stewart requested clarification of the Sunset Avenue Walkway Project, which is identified as a walkway in
one location and a multi-use pathway in another. Mr. English answered that a trial project is currently in place on Sunset
Avenue to evaluate the effects of adjusting parking and locating the trail/walkway on the west side of the street. At this
point, he does not know what the project will be. Data related to pedestrian counts, traffic speeds, and accident history has
been collected and presented to the City Council. As the discussion moves forward, the public will be invited to weigh in on
the pros and cons of the trial project via public meetings and a survey. Board Member Stewart commented from her
experience working with the older adult population, if given a choice, they will not use a walking pathway that includes
bicycles. She asked if the grant funding would still be available to do a pedestrian walkway on the west side of the street if
the bicycle path was eliminated and placed back on the street. Mr. English said the City would have to have this discussion
with the funding agency once they have identified a scope for the project if it no longer meets the original intent of the grant.
Board Member Robles asked why the sidewalk project on Meadowdale Beach Road was eliminated from the CIP. Mr.
English said the walkway project was eliminated from the CIP by the Walkway Committee because other projects were
ranked higher. However, it is still identified in the City’s Walkway Plan. Board Member Robles advised that citizens have
voiced concern that this east/west corridor is curvy, wet, dark and most cars travel fast. There are no sidewalks and few
people living in the area, but the combination of conditions have citizens concerned. He asked the best method for the
citizens to voice their concerns to the City staff. Mr. English suggested they contact him directly. He said the Engineering
Packet Page 406 of 416

Planning Board Minutes
October 14, 2015 Page 8
Department receives requests for walkway improvements throughout the City, but there is very little funding available at this
time. The Engineer Department tries to secure grant funding for walkway projects through the Safe Routes to School
Program, and the intent is to leverage the dollars for future grant opportunities. The grant program is very competitive, as
most cities in the State are seeking funding for sidewalks. While all walkway projects are included in the City’s Walkway
Plan, the City’s focus over the next six years will be on those that have a greater potential for grant funding.
Board Member Robles asked if the City has plans to resurface or at least repair Meadowdale Beach Road to make it safer.
Mr. English said the goal is to continue the Pavement Preservation Program, with over $1 million budgeted in 2016. They
are currently working on the project list. Board Member Robles said he would encourage the citizens on Meadowdale Beach
Road to provide input as the City works to finalize the project list.
Board Member Robles asked if the City has completed a feasibility study related to alternative materials for athletic fields as
opposed to crumb rubber. He assumes that health research will be forthcoming, but what does the City know about the cost
of the alternative materials versus recycled rubber. Chair Tibbott suggested that this question be tabled until Ms. Hite has
presented the park-related elements contained in the CIP and CFP.
Board Member Robles asked if the definition for non-motorized vehicles in the Transportation Plan is consistent with the
State of Washington’s definition. Mr. English answered affirmatively.
Chair Tibbott observed that the REET Funds (125 and 126) are doing quite well right now. He asked if that means the City
can look forward to accomplishing more projects in 2016 than is typical for a calendar year. He also observed that utility
projects are funded from both the General Fund and the Utility Fund. Mr. English advised that very few utility projects are
funded by the General Fund. In 2015, the General Fund is estimated to contribute $670,000 in for the Pavement Preservation
Program. As proposed, no General Funds would be used for this program in 2016, and the REET Fund will pick up this
contribution. He agreed that REET Revenue has picked up, and a number of projects that haven’t been funded in the past
would be funded in 2016. These additional projects include the trackside warning system, pavement preservation, signal
cabinet upgrades, curb/ramp updates for ADA compliance, ADA Transition Plan update, Highway 99 Access Management
Study, Minor Sidewalk Program and Traffic Calming Program.
Ms. Hite provided an overview of the projects completed and in progress by the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services
Department in 2015:
• The City Park spray pad area has been completed. It was operated manually last week, and they are programming it this
week. They are hoping to have it completely programmed in order to operate it for a few days before it is winterized.
The playground and spray pad project experienced some difficult technical issues, and they are excited to celebrate its
grand opening in May of 2016.
• The Dayton Street Project has been identified in the CIP for quite some time. The site has been demolished in house,
and the project will go out to bid tomorrow using the small works roster. The project was designed by the community
and includes artwork.
• Almost all of the wayfinding signs have been installed on the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor, and some historic signs were
also added. A new art piece will be installed before the end of the year. The piece will be lit at night and visible all the
way from Main Street to the Edmonds Center for the Arts.
• The City conducted a robust planning process for the Marina Beach Master Plan, which was triggered by the City’s
project to daylight Willow Creek. The creek project was at 30% feasibility, and it was necessary to figure out where the
creek would fall out onto Marina Beach. Board Member Stewart participated on the Marina Beach Project Advisory
Committee, which consisted of 15 people. Several open houses were held, along with on-line virtual open houses and
stakeholder interviews. A draft Master Plan will be presented to the City Council in a few weeks for approval before the
end of the year. Formal adoption of the plan will take place as part of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan amendments.
• The spa at Yost Pool was rebuilt in 2015 using REET funding from Fund 125.
Packet Page 407 of 416

Planning Board Minutes
October 14, 2015 Page 9
• The Anderson Center Stage roof is old and is separating from its pilings. While the facility is structurally safe, it cannot
last much longer. The roof will be replaced in 2015 using REET funding from Fund 125. The final design has been
completed, and the project will go out to bid soon.
• The Veteran’s Plaza was added to the 2015 CIP and the City Council allocated $10,000 for the initial 30% design
process. The consultant, Site Workshop, is working with a community group to develop the design, and she sits on the
committee to ensure that the City is still involved in the project. The community group will approach the City Council in
the next few weeks to share some of the design development portions of the project. They are also doing fundraising in
the community. The CIP identifies $470,000 for the project, but it also identifies $475,000 of revenues that will come
from the fundraising efforts. The City is not anticipating spending money on the project.
• The design for the fishing pier rehabilitation was completed in 2015, and the City received a $1.3 grant from the State to
complete the project. Contracts are in process right now, and the project will start in March of 2015. Under the direction
of Board Member Stewart, Edmonds Woodway High School students visited the fishing pier and asked users what
amenities they would like. While most of the $1.3 million in the current budget will be used to shore up the underside of
the fishing pier, they will try to carve out some money for above ground amenities, as well.
• REET funds from the 125 Fund were transferred to the Park Construction Fund (Fund 132) to be used as a match for
grants. One of the City’s current construction projects is Edmonds Marsh and daylighting Willow Creek, which is a joint
project with the Stormwater Division and Engineering Department. The project is twofold to mitigate stormwater
flooding concerns on SR104 into the Marsh and Puget Sound and to daylight Willow Creek to increase the salmon
habitat.
• The City has been in active negotiations with the Edmonds School District to purchase the Civic Center, and they are
very close to an agreed-upon price. Once the agreed upon price has been identified, the City’s intent is to sign a
purchase and sale agreement and put the funding together before the end of the year. The City received a $1 million
grant from the State of Washington and a $500,000 Conservation Futures Grant. In addition to $1.5 million in grant
funding, the City has set aside $400,000 in Fund 126 (Land Acquisition) to go towards the purchase of Civic Center.
• The Woodway High School Athletic Complex Project was put through a significant public process in 2006 and 2007 and
has been part of the City’s CIP and CFP since 2001. Money has been set aside for the project, but it has become a very
controversial because of the crumb rubber. In response to Board Member Robles’ earlier question, she said she asked a
landscape architect to put together the pros and cons of the various infill materials, and the information was presented as
part of a City Council packet about a month ago. She agreed to send the information to Board Members, as well. She
cautioned that the information is not scientific, but just his experience in designing fields and the cost and maintenance
differences associated with using field turf as opposed to crumb rubber. The information is probably not as in-depth as
what Board Member Robles is requesting; and to her knowledge, this more detailed information does not exist. Based
on her conversation with the industry and the architect, crumb rubber is considered the industry standard right now in the
nation, but many communities are turning away from that for reasons discussed earlier tonight.
Ms. Hite said Nike Grind, a material made from ground up tennis shoes, has been used on some fields in Puget Sound,
but Nike does not make any confirmation or promise regarding the safety of its product. However, it does say that the
pre-product is on the safe list and they are assuming the post product is, as well. There is no scientific information to
back up their claim, as no one has tested Nike Grind as much as they have tested the crumb rubber. There are several
other options. A cork and coconut husk material was installed two years ago on a field in Kitsap County, and they
having issues with it clumping up and clogging the drainage system of the field. She referred to the NBC news report
and said there is still not a lot of information about what the best and most cost effective alternatives are. She will
continue to pay attention to research and learn from communities that have installed the alternatives.
The funding set aside for the Woodway High School Athletic Complex has not been spent. The expenditure is
contingent upon the City Council making a decision on whether or not they want to sign an interlocal agreement with the
school district. She reminded the Board that the use of crumb rubber for this project was the school district’s decision.
Both the staff and City Council requested that the school district consider alternatives, but the school board decided to
move ahead with the crumb rubber. From a parks perspective, the City does not have a tremendous amount of athletic
Packet Page 408 of 416

fields (no full-size fields), and the project has been an important part of the CIP for a number of years. The issue has yet
to be determined by the City Council in the coming weeks. If they do not approve the interlocal agreement, the $500,000
allocation can be reallocated to a different project such as improvements at Marina Beach Park or Civic Center.
She pointed out that $155,000 of the $655,000 allocation has been set aside for a community garden and to maintain the
field for the first year. She will be seeking feedback from the City Council and Planning Board relative to staff working
with the school district to see if they can still site the community garden at the Woodway High School site.
• The fishing pier rehabilitation will be managed by Fund 132, since the majority of the funding comes from grants.
Next, Ms. Hite reviewed additional projects identified in the 2016 CIP as follows:
• Temporary parklet development in the downtown is identified as a priority in the SAP, PROS Plan and Community
Cultural Plan. Various communities have tried this concept as a method of encouraging people to gather and enjoy
different areas of business districts and to increase tourism and economic development. It also provides additional green
space and adds flavor and culture to a downtown area. They are currently considering a parklet on a corner along the 4th
Avenue Cultural Corridor. Several businesses have also contacted the City expressing a desire to develop parklets in the
downtown. The City’s Cultural Arts Manager will be working on a policy for parklet development in 2016.
• Also a high priority in the PROS Plan is the ability for citizens to increase their fitness levels and be active in the
community. With the exception of Hickman Park, none of the City’s other parks include outdoor fitness zones, which
are popular across the nation and allow people to exercise outside. The City is currently considering adding this
equipment to three parks: City Park, Mathay Ballinger Park, and Sea View Park. This project will be contingent on
grant funding, and staff is currently writing grants to Green Zone Fitness and Verdant.
• There is currently a gateway sign on SR104, which welcomes people to Edmonds. The sign is in poor condition and
needs to be rehabilitated or replaced. The gateway sign on the waterfront may also be rehabilitated or replaced. There
has been some conversation of having solar lighting attached to the signs so they are visible at night. The sign design
will incorporate the fonts and colors identified in the Sign Master Plan that was adopted a few years ago, but a Council
Member has voiced interest in a different design.
• The Meadowdale Playfields are owned by the school district, but the City of Edmonds, City of Lynnwood and
Snohomish County all contributed capital dollars into its development as soccer and softball fields. It is now time to put
some improvements into the fields, and the City of Lynnwood and the school district are very interested in installing
field turf on the soccer field. The City of Edmonds has an agreement with the School District until 2025 for use of the
fields. If any party or parties suggest improvements, the other parties have the option to opt into the improvements and
continue to use of the fields. Discussions are taking place right now amongst the parties, and she is confident that the
topic of crumb rubber will come up in the conversation. The project was identified in the 2016 budget so the City can
still be at the table in future conversations. At this time, the school district and the City of Lynnwood are interested in
moving forward with soccer field renovations, but the City primarily uses the softball fields for adult leagues. The City
would like to continue to use the softball fields, which are not part of the current discussion.
• Mayor Earling has identified funding in 2016 to locate, construct and maintain a downtown restroom in the parking lot
(fronting the sidewalk) between the Rusty Pelican and City Hall. A few parking spaces would be eliminated to
accommodate the restroom, which would be centrally located.
• Money is identified in 2016 for Senior/Community Center Walkway Design in anticipation that the park area around the
Senior/Community Center could be developed in future years, and she is suggesting that the first $500,000 allocation for
this project come from park impact fees. She reminded the Board that the City began assessing park impact fees a few
years ago, but none of the revenue has been programmed yet. Development of the Senior Center park area is a perfect
use of these funds because it will add community center space and availability for the City to meet the needs of the
growth in the area for active recreation.
Packet Page 409 of 416

October 14, 2015 Page 11
• Funding is identified in 2016 to work with the community on a robust master plan process of Civic Center if it is
acquired by the City. She pointed out that the current bleachers are in disrepair and hazardous. While they let people
use it, it is not the most ideal situation. Even if Civic Center is not developed further, she felt it would be appropriate to
add more paths and walking areas to connect the neighborhood to downtown and provide connections for people to get
around.
• Some projects have been lingering in the CFP for a number of years. For example, although the Sno-Isle Library
Building is owned by the City, it is operated by Sno-Isle Libraries. The building is solid and the City helps with
maintenance, but rehabilitating or rebuilding the structure in future would be the responsibility of Sno-Isle Libraries.
She is recommended that this item be deleted as a formal project in the CFP. Another example is the Boys and Girls
Club Building, which is currently being leased to the City. She questioned if the City wants to be responsible for
funding a building for a non-profit organization. She acknowledged that the City could maintain a strong relationship
with both of the organizations to support their success in the community, but it may no longer be appropriate to include
the buildings in the CFP.
• An Arts Center/Art Museum has been listed in the City’s CFP for a number of years, and the art museum at Salish
Crossing that was recently opened by a private entity may have met that need. She suggested that instead of specifically
planning for another arts center or art museum in the future, this line item could be changed to a Cultural Arts Facility
Needs Study, as identified in the Community Cultural Plan, to identify the gaps in the community.
Chair Tibbott asked if the City maintains the landscaping at the Edmonds Sno-Isle Library facility. Ms. Hite answered that
the landscaping maintenance at the library facility is not usually part of the CFP, but the City maintains the landscaping on a
regular basis as part of the parks budget. Chair Tibbott agreed that it makes sense to eliminate the library building from the
CFP.
Chair Tibbott asked if there has been any discussion about the possibility of forming a partnership with the Boys and Girls
Club to create a larger community center. Ms. Hite said the City has had discussions with the Boys and Girls Club about
what would happen if the City developed a large community center at the Civic Center. However, she recommended that
these discussions be postponed until the community has had an opportunity to participate in a master planning process for the
site. She reported that the City has a good relationship with the Boys and Girls Club, and they are in conversations with them
about extending their lease of the building, as well as their long-range plans. The line item in the CFP calls for the City
rebuilding the Boys and Girls Club facility, and she questioned the appropriateness of the City allocating money to build a
non-profit center. She explained that including the project in the CFP means the City is committed to financial planning for a
new building. In recent conversations, it is apparent that the City is interested in supporting the Boys and Girls Club in their
efforts to build a new building, but not necessarily paying for the project.
Chair Tibbott said his understanding is that a drainage system will be in place to handle the potential toxic runoff from the
Woodinville High School fields. He asked Ms. Hite to describe the system and explain how effective it would be. Ms. Hite
acknowledged that drainage is not her expertise. However, as part of the permit process, the Planning Division made sure the
system would meet the standard code requirements. Her understanding is that the system would filter most, if not all, of the
toxins, and the school district is planning to do testing before and after the filtration system is in place to ensure it is working
correctly. Chair Tibbott asked if the infiltration system would be placed on a regular maintenance schedule, and Ms. Hite
answered affirmatively.
Chair Tibbott asked if the proposed parklets are intended to be temporary. Ms. Hite answered that the parklet proposed on
the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor would be permanent, but the parklets that are created by business owners would likely be
temporary during the summer months. She reminded the Board that the City will develop a policy to address parklets in
2016.
Chair Tibbott asked if the CIP includes walkway improvements along the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor. Ms. Hite said there
is definitely interest for sidewalk improvements in this location, and it is identified in the Community Cultural Plan.
However, she is not clear as to whether the project is included in the Walkway Plan that was adopted as part of the
Transportation Plan. Chair Tibbott commented that it would be great to upgrade the entire corridor at the same time.

In addition to the gateway on SR104, Chair Tibbott asked if it would be appropriate to upgrade other gateways at the same
time. Ms. Hite said the other gateways are not as elaborate as the one on SR104. They are smaller signs that were made by
the City, and they do not need to be upgraded unless they are made larger. Next year’s plan is to replace the main gateway
signs on SR104 and at the waterfront, but the City will continue to consider the other locations, as well. She recalled that
Chair Tibbott previously requested that a gateway sign be placed on 196th, but she has not determined an appropriate
location. Chair Tibbott commented that if the City upgrades the two gateways with a common theme, he assumes that the
theme could be continued to other gateway areas in the future.
Board Member Stewart commented that the proposed CIP includes a wonderful assortment of projects. Once again, she
voiced her support for the acquisition of open space and waterfront tidelands. Edmond is a unique shoreline community at
grade. Ms. Hite agreed and said she was disappointed when the City’s recent opportunity to acquire waterfront property fell
through. She said she continues to add $200,000 for park acquisition every year, and the dollars are carried over. She
explained that $200,000 actually equals $2 to $3 million worth of bonding capacity to acquire waterfront property when
opportunities come up.
Board Member Stewart asked if the City could set up a building fund whereby donors could match the City’s contribution.
Ms. Hite voiced support for the idea and suggested it is a discussion staff should have with the City Council, but it would
likely have to be codified.
Board Member Stewart said that as she reviewed the CIP, she looked for opportunities to shave costs from large projects so
more money could be allocated for open space and waterfront land acquisition. For example, she asked what the $4.3
allocated to the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor would entail. Ms. Hite said the improvements include streets, sidewalks, and
everything that leads from Main Street to the Edmonds Center for the Arts. She emphasized there is no money set aside, and
the project is entirely dependent upon grant funding. Board Member Stewart also referred to the $3 to $4 million allocated to
rebuild the Parks Maintenance Building. Ms. Hite explained that this building houses the facilities and park maintenance
crews. While it is a fairly large, one-story building, they actually need about 10,000 square feet of space. Although the park
crew is resilient and has indicated they can make do with the existing building for the time being, it is in poor condition and
will need to be rehabilitated or relocated soon.
Board Member Stewart said she has been following discussions in the City relative to crumb rubber on the Woodway High
School Fields. The more research she has reviewed, the more she is concerned about making healthier choices for the future
when opportunities come up, and opportunities come when projects are built. While she recognized that healthier choices for
existing fields will have to wait until the next cycle of replenishing the infill, she hopes that the City’s budget includes a
buffer of money to enable healthier alternatives to be used. This is particularly true for fields that are used by young people,
since the exposure is magnified because their bodies are still developing. At the least, the City should consider having one
natural grass field and one synthetic field so parents have a choice. If it was her child today, she would not let them play on
the synthetic fields. While the crump rubber is the industry standard, not enough is known about its affects on the body when
exposed repeatedly. She recalled that at the recent international soccer tournament in Vancouver, Canada, some teams
became upset when they couldn’t plan on the grass fields. More injuries occur on the turf fields. She acknowledged that
grass fields are more costly to maintain, but they are safer and better for the children and the environment, as well. Again,
she suggested that a cushion of funding be in place in case the decision is made to use an alternative infill.
Regarding the community garden concept that was previously proposed at the Woodinville High School site, she suggested
that the gardens could be done privately.
Board Member Stewart asked if the Boys and Girls Club have an estimate for how long the current building will last. Ms.
Hite said the building is in ill repair, which has prompted the Boys and Girls Club into discussions about rebuilding the
structure but maintaining its location at the Civic Center. These discussions will continue in the future. Board Member
Stewart said it is a shame that the Boys and Girls Club facility could not be combined with another project, such as the Senior
Center or Francis Anderson Center.
Ms. Hite explained that if the Woodway High School Fields were owned by the City, the conversation would have been
completely different, but the decision-making power was out of the City’s hands. The City had extra money to put into the
project for alternative infill, but it was not well received by the school district. The dilemma is that the community does not
Packet Page 411 of 416
APPROVED
Planning Board Minutes
October 14, 2015 Page 13
have a lot of space for fields except Civic Center, which is surrounding on three sides by residential development and not the
best location for a lot of athletic events. The PROS Plan points to partnering with other entities to leverage their assets, and
the City relies on partnerships with the school district.
Board Member Rubenkonig noted the large number of commissions, boards and committees that are listed as having
provided the attention and advocacy that led to the projects being identified in the CIP. However, she noted that the
Economic Development Commission did not receive credit for recommending the waterfront all-year market, and Ms. Hite
agreed to make note of their contribution. Board Member Rubenkonig recalled the City Council’s recent discussion about
the money that is allocated to staff support for boards and commissions. It is good to see how effective these groups have
been in processing the interests of the community, which is a wonderful tribute to Edmonds and an excellent picture of how
things get done in the City. She listed the various plans and processes that were used to inform the projects. She commented
that the list speaks to the benefits of staff supporting all of the groups that are part of creating the plans and recommendations
that give support to the projects listed in the CIP and CFP. Ms. Hite pointed out that Board Member Rubenkonig requested
this specific information when the 2015 CIP and CFP were reviewed by the Board
Chair Tibbott said he thought the Willow Creek project was also intended to address stormwater issues as well as daylighting
the creek. Ms. Hite agreed that the project is a two-fold solution.
Mr. English concluded the presentation by reviewing the schedule for moving the draft CIP and CFP forward, noting that the
process started in July. An initial presentation of the CIP and CFP was made to the City Council in September, and the
Planning Board’s public hearing and recommendation will be followed by a public hearing before the City Council on
October 27th. It is anticipated that the City Council will adopt the draft CIP and CFP into the City’s Comprehensive Plan in
November or December.
Chair Tibbott invited members of the public to address the Planning Board on the draft CIP and CFP. No one indicated a
desire to do so, and the public hearing was closed.
Board Member Robles commented that there is plenty of data available on the cost of infill alternatives to put together a
feasibility study to determine what is most appropriate for the area. Ms. Hite clarified that the City does have a report from a
landscape architect with cost figures and pros and cons relative to the alternative infill materials that are currently available
on the market. However, she does not have any longevity studies to indicate how the materials have reacted or been applied
in the northwest weather. She agreed to forward the landscape architect’s report to the Planning Board Members.
Board Member Stewart said that although she generally supports the draft CIP and CFP, she is concerned that, as currently
proposed, it identifies insufficient funds to acquire open space and waterfront tidelands as it becomes available. She would
like this issue to be addressed before the CIP and CFP are approved. Also, unless there is some effort to include alternative
suggestions about rain gardens or green infrastructure, particularly in regard to the Perrinville Creek Project, she will not be
recommending approval of the documents in their current state.
Although she gives merit to Board Member Stewart’s concerns, Board Member Rubenkonig asked if there was another point
in time when her concerns could have been addressed before the public hearing. Mr. Chave explained that the CIP and CFP
come before the Board each year, and most of the projects have been reviewed in some form in past years. The Board can
discuss the projects and make recommendations to the City Council on priorities going forward at any time, but they should
keep in mind that it is more difficult to make major changes mid stream. Board Member Rubenkonig asked if the CFP and
CIP would be addressed by a particular City Council Committee, and Mr. Chave said the documents will be reviewed and
adopted by the Council, as a whole. Board Member Rubenkonig asked staff to provide direction as to the best way for the
Board to address their concerns and recommend changes. Mr. Chave advised that the Board has the ability to influence the
priority of projects when they review the various plans that are contained in the Comprehensive Plan such as the PROS Plan
and Transportation Plan. It is important to pay careful attention to the goals and policies expressed in these plans, since they
help inform the prioritization of projects in the CIP and CFP.
Board Member Rubenkonig asked if the SAP contains policies that address waterfront and open space land acquisition as a
priority. Vice Chair Lovell said his understanding is that the SAP does not take precedence over the goals and policies
contained in the Comprehensive Plan. The SAP was a citizen-initiated, grassroots effort that included a lot of public input to
Packet Page 412 of 416
APPROVED
Planning Board Minutes
October 14, 2015 Page 14
identify the desires of the community, but there are a number of other overarching needs identified in the Comprehensive
Plan and other focus plans that need to be addressed in the CIP and CFP, as well.
Vice Chair Lovell recalled that the original intent was that City Council would establish a priority-based budget process, and
the priorities identified in the SAP would be used to inform the budget process. While the City Council has not yet
implemented a priority-based budget process, he is confident they had the SAP in mind when considering which projects to
fund. As examples, he noted the senior center project, bikeways and walkways, and the restroom in downtown Edmonds.
VICE CHAIR LOVELL MOVED THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FORWARD THE DRAFT 2016 – 2021
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND CAPITAL FACLITIES PROGRAM TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH A
RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL. BOARD MEMBER RUBENKONIG SECONDED THE MOTION.
Vice Chair Lovell pointed out that the Board has discussed the need for coordination between the SAP and the CIP/CFP, and
the issue will likely be a topic of discussion by the City Council.
Board Member Rubenkonig pointed out that the purpose of the Planning Board is to represent the future citizenry, and the
vision presented by Board Member Stewart will change the scope of how the Board reviews projects. She would like to
understand how the Board can critique future CIPs and CFPs to address issues such as those raised by Board Member
Stewart.
Board Member Stewart referred to the recent shoreline acquisition tour that was presented by Bill Phillips, who served on the
Planning Board for approximately 18 years. During his time on the Board, the City acquired a significant amount of
shoreline to become public access. This was done collaboratively with a number of groups in the City. If it wasn’t for that
vision, the City would not have these parks today. She sees the tidelands as a resource, and once they are placed in private
lands and developed, they are no longer available for public access. When opportunities come up, the City needs to be poised
to purchase and act. She cannot support the CIP and CFP as presented.
Board Member Robles said he generally supports the CIP and CFP, but he would also like to see an avenue for public
opinion to challenge the ranking system, mostly from a value of life standpoint. Most of the issues that are important to him
are concerning life threatening conditions such as bikeways, slippery dangerous dark roads, and turf. He suggested it would
be helpful to clarify the avenue citizens can use to influence the priorities.
Board Member Monroe said he believes the CIP and CFP are wonderful plans, and he appreciates how difficult it is to
balance all of the issues. He commented that in order to find the best path forward, they should rely on the metrics already
used by the City to identify the appropriate balance. Quality of life is a subjective term that is appropriate to consider as a
factor, but the City needs to utilize hard data when establishing priorities, and the proposed CIP does a good job of that.
Chair Tibbott reflected that when he served on the Transportation Committee, the walkway systems were prioritized and
ranked. The Transportation Committee is just one of the groups citizens can participate on to help prioritize projects. The
PROS Plan is another input opportunity that helps to inform the budgeting process. He recalled Board Member
Rubenkonig’s previous comment about the amazing capacity the City has with people who volunteer their time and share
their expertise to provide information to inform the process. He encouraged the Board Members to invite others to be a part
of the public process, as well.
Chair Tibbott said he is supportive of the draft CIP and CFP, particularly the walkway projects that are identified. Even a
$50,000 budget to complete walkway projects is a great idea. He is particularly concerned about the large number of
walkways that start and stop and then start up again. It would be great to complete the system at some point in the future.
Chair Tibbott pointed out that there are some heavily-congested areas in the City where foot traffic and bicycle traffic is
alongside vehicular traffic. Special adherence needs to be given to the awareness that these congestion zones are increasing.
The City needs to make sure they are addressing these problem areas with walkway projects, road diets, and other available
means.
THE MOTION CARRIED 6-1, WITH BOARD MEMBER STEWART VOTING IN OPPOSITION.

UPDATE ON HIGHWAY 99 SUBAREA PLANNING PROCESS
Mr. Chave provided an update on the Highway 99 Subarea Planning Process, noting that his presentation is the same one that
was recently given by the Development Services Director to the City Council. He advised that the overall project involves
subarea planning for the Highway 99 Corridor. He provided a map to identify the portions of the corridor that pass through
or border Edmonds. He explained that other cities, along with Edmonds, have recognized the importance of the Highway 99
Corridor, and it is fairly easy to find plans that have been done by the Cities of Everett, Lynnwood and Shoreline. He
particularly referred to the improvements that have occurred or are occurring on the City of Shoreline’s portion of the
corridor.
Mr. Chave reminded the Board that the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) completed a fairly
substantial improvement project on the Edmonds segment of the corridor in the 1990s, but it did not address the land use and
enhancement elements that the more recent projects have encompassed. In terms of transportation, the 1990s project may
have been a success, but when you look at what Everett and Lynnwood wants to do and what Shoreline has been doing, there
is much more importance attached to a complete streets approach.
Mr. Chave announced that, in the last legislation session, the Legislature allocated $10 million to the City of Edmonds for
improvements along its segment of the corridor. While it will not fund all of the improvements needed, it will provide
significant funding for programming and design. He cautioned that there is no timeline attached to the grant at this time. The
City’s subarea planning effort will look at the entire corridor within the City. He noted there are a few areas that are not
actually in the City limits, such as the properties in unincorporated Snohomish County (Esperance). He noted that the study
area includes not just commercial zones, but some of the buffering multi-family zones that are nearby. It also includes the
hospital area near the north end. He noted that the hospital has been doing a lot of improvements and is a very important
anchor for what goes on in that area. Therefore, it is important to include them in the planning process.
Mr. Chave reviewed that the City Council allocated $100,000 in 2015 to get the subarea planning process started, and the
Mayor’s proposed budget includes approximately $65,000 to complete the project in 2016. He explained that the project got
a late start because the Comprehensive Plan update took so much time and effort, but they have put out a request for
consultants and candidates will be interviewed later in October or in early November.
Mr. Chave explained that the corridor consists of a variety of uses. Most are commercial, with the primary economic driver
being the car lots. Some of the commercial uses were established many years ago and may be ripe for redevelopment. There
are also a number of businesses that people patronize for fast food and grocery stores, so services, in general, are very
prominent. As mentioned earlier, the hospital is also a key player, and there are a number of medical facilities in the area.
Given the investment that the hospital has been making on their campus, the City expects these uses to continue and even
expand in the future. Something that is not quite as prominent now but in close proximity to Highway 99, there is a fair
amount of multi-family housing, particularly in the hospital area. The study will take a closer look at opportunities to
encourage mixed use development. To the extent the City can get more people living on the corridor, that will help support
more and different kinds of businesses. The existing transportation corridor will provide support for this concept, as well.
Mr. Chave pointed out that the pedestrian environment along the corridor is lacking. While there are rudimentary sidewalks,
there is a lot of room for improvement. He said another aspect of the pedestrian/bicycle environment is that connections to
the corridor from neighboring communities are often poorly planned, unsafe, and/or missing altogether. This is something
the City should pay close attention to as the project moves forward. The Swift Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations have been a
real plus for the corridor, and the faster service has opened peoples’ eyes as to what is possible along the corridor. They
should build on this going forward.
Mr. Chave recalled that the City has provided some funding to begin to enhance the corridor. For example, the human-scale
lighting along the “international” area is an attempt to provide more identity. This is something the City should build on
throughout the corridor. Signage will also be a topic of discussion during the subarea planning process. Although it is not as
bad as it could be, a lot more could be done as far as identity.

Mr. Chave summarized that Phase 1 of the process will include an assessment of existing conditions to clearly understand
what the issues are and identification of potential design ideas. Phase 2 will happen later in 2016 and will address
environmental impacts and putting policies and land use codes in place to implement the plan. He advised that a host of
questions would be asked during Phase 1, including:
• What is the vision for the corridor?
• How to complement and/or encourage the unique parts of the corridor and also integrate it with the whole
community?
• How to retain desirable businesses and encourage new ones?
• How to include housing in the area?
• What will be needed over the next 20 years?
• Can new development be more attractive and would design standards help?
• What transit options will help corridor and community connections?
• What impacts could occur from redevelopment and how can they be reduced or managed to provide a net
community benefit:
• What ideas or lessons can the City learn from other cities’ corridor plans and projects that apply to Edmonds?
Mr. Chave advised that the project will include a substantial process with open houses, workshops, online surveys, and
newsletter articles. There will also be work sessions and public hearings before the Planning Board and City Council. In
addition, the front page of the City’s website provides a link to a “Highway 99 Corridor” page. The City is currently in the
process of selecting a consultant and spreading the word about the plan. The intent is to have a finalized plan and
recommendation to the City Council by the end of 2016.
Board Member Robles said he is amazed at how diverse the Highway 99 Corridor is, and he would like preservation of this
diversity to be a major component of the plan. Mr. Chave said that, over the years, property owners have indicated a desire
to do more with what they have. Some have indicated an interest in adding residential units on top of businesses, but the
zoning has been challenging for doing that up until recently. Going forward, there should be a much more proactive planning
process that identifies what, if any, changes need to be made in the City’s codes and design standards.
Board Member Rubenkonig asked staff to identify the southern and northern boundaries of the City’s segment of Highway
99. Mr. Chave said the southern boundary is 205th/244th and the northern boundary is 208th.
Vice Chair Lovell inquired if it would be feasible to ask the consultant to undertake a substantive review and interface with
the property owners along the corridor. He expressed his belief that input from the property owners will be vital to the
study. Mr. Chave agreed and said the process will require a combination of surveys, workshops, and meetings to solicit
public input. He noted that the Request for Qualifications for the consultant is posted on the City’s website. Chair Tibbott
said he is interested in learning the functions that a consultant would help with. Mr. Chave said it will require a multi-
disciplined team that has expertise in design, transportation, planning, economics and feasibility, public outreach, etc.
REVIEW OF EXTENDED AGENDA
Chair Tibbott reviewed that the October 28th agenda includes training on Appearance of Fairness and other information,
review of development code updates, and a discussion on the residential parking code amendment. As requested by staff, the
Board agreed to cancel the November 11th meeting, which falls on Veteran’s Day, and reschedule it for November 18th as a
special meeting. It was noted that the second meetings in November and December would be cancelled to accommodate the
holidays.
Board Member Stewart introduced Sam Kleven, an Edmonds Woodway High School Senior, who has indicated a desire to
serve as the student representative on the Board. The Board welcomed his participation starting at the next meeting. Chair
Tibbott encouraged the Board Members to read Mr. Kleven’s application. He brings a healthy background to the Board, and
he looks forward to hearing what his interests are.

PLANNING BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
Board Member Stewart reported that at the October 13th City Council Meeting, students from Edmonds Woodway Highway
School who are part of the group, “Students Saving Salmon” presented their water-quality monitoring program. The data
they collect will determine the viability of the surface waters for salmon, as well as in the creeks that they measure and also
the marsh. The program is fully funded through mid 2016, and we hope will continue into perpetuity. The students are
supported by teacher involvement in the curriculum. She noted that an article about the project was recently published in MY
EDMONDS NEWS.
Board Member Rubenkonig said the Waste Warriors, a group of sustainable community stewards sponsored by the
Snohomish County Extension Service, have a green cleaning program, but it has been difficult to find information on the
elements and ingredients in different cleaning products because there is very little data available.
