Councilmember Palmer noted that he had seconded the motion, not Councilmember Hertrich as indicated in the minutes. Councilmember Palmer also referred to paragraph five, line nine. The sentence should read that the current telephone system within the elevator is the one that only works within the building, and not the Museum's telephone system. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS AMEND- ED. MOTION CARRIED. INTRODUCTION OF STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE Councilmember Nordquist introduced the new Student Representative, Amanda Foote. Councilmember Nordquist explained that the Student Representative Program was established in 1980. He said a representative from a high school in Edmonds is selected every three months to serve as a nonvoting member on the Council. AUDIENCE Rich Demeroutis, 921 Pine Street, addressed Council President Wilson on issues relating to past real estate dealings that Mayor Naughten was allegedly involved with. Mr. Demeroutis feels there was a conflict of interest as the alleged dealings were with an individual who at that time, had a lease with the City. Council President Wilson said he would look into the matter. CWC-HDR MONTHLY REPORT Bud Benges, CWC-HDR Inc., reported that this was the 34th progress report on the Edmonds J' Wastewater Treatment Plant project. Mr. Benges mentioned that this would be the last scheduled monthly report that CWC-HDR plans to make. Mr. Benges said he is anticipating a final report when the project is entirely complete. He explained that the contractor has claimed that they have reached the point where the project is substantially complete which means that the project is available for use. Mr. Benges said that at this point when CWC-HDR does their inspection for substantial completion, their personnel will only be on the job on a part-time basis to assist the City in making sure all of the warranty work is done, along with assisting the City with performance testing the State has required, and also to assist in advising on operational questions. Mr. Benges explained that there are two unresolved claims that have been made by the contractor. One of these claims the contractor is making is for the sludge haul costs during the period when the heat exchanger was removed because it was found to be defective. Mr. Benges said that claim has been denied to the contractor as of this date. The second claim involves hitting an obstruc- tion when drilling was performed during Phase II. Mr. Benges said the claim was initially de- nied, but a compromise solution has been discussed, and may be settled shortly. Councilmember Dwyer asked Mr. Benges what the amounts of the claims were. Mr. Benges said the sludge haul claim is approximately $120,000. and the second claim is in the proximity of $15,000, with the City share being a quarter of that amount. Councilmember Wilson felt the people who supplied the faulty incinerator would be liable for the sludge haul costs and Mr. Benges agreed. Mr. Benges reviewed a slide presentation of construction progress at the secondary treatment facility. Councilmember Hertrich inquired on actual expenditures of the project to date. Coun- cilmember Hertrich said that it looked like the project was going to be completed under the origi- nal amount and Mr. Benges replied that when the project is complete, the total expenditures would come to around $34 million dollars, compared to the $39.5 million dollars that was originally planned for the project. Councilmember Hertrich congratulated Mr. Benges and his company on the excellent job that they have done for the City. Councilmember Palmer inquired if the October 18th opening ceremony would be the first opportunity for the press and public to tour the facility, and Mayor Naughten said there would be a special press tour the week before. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2 September 16, 1991 HEARING � HAJ ON APPEAL OF HEARING EXAMINER DECISION REGARDING VARIANCE TO REDUCE SIDE SETBACK REOUIRE- Jeff Wilson, Planning Supervisor. presented a brief outline of the appeal that was before the Council. Mr. Wilson explained that Hajo Corporation, represented by Helen Clouston, applied for a variance to allow for the construction of a six stall carport structure to be located in the required side yard setback for the property located at 1140 5th Ave. S. Mr. Wilson said the Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on the request on August 1, 1991, to consider the variance request and to receive the Staff Advisory Report, as well as receiving public testimony regarding the application. Upon the testimony provided by the staff, the applicant, and the public, the Hear- ing Examiner entered his decision on August 14, 1991, denying the variance request citing that in his opinion, the proposed variance request did not comply with the criteria as stipulated in the Edmonds Community Development Code. Councilmember Kasper arrived at 7:25 p.m. Mr. Wilson referenced the packet information which included the Letter of Appeal submitted by Ms. Clouston, a copy of the Hearing Examiner's Decision along with his findings and facts and conclu- sions, and also a copy of the Staff Advisory Report. Mr. Wilson reviewed an overhead slide of the site. Councilmember Palmer asked Mr. Wilson if there was sufficient room to build a structure located away from the setback and Mr. Wilson re- plied that it would be possible; however, it could impede on the dedicated driving lane in and out of the area. Scott Snyder, City Attorney, asked Mr. Wilson if an application has been made to the ADB and Mr. Wilson replied that he doesn't believe the ADB has reviewed it yet. Mr. Snyder clarified the structure that the Council is considering is a proposed structure subject to ADB approval. City Attorney Scott Snyder questioned Councilmember Kasper's participation in the hearing, asking if he had been present for the staff presentation. Councilmember Kasper said he had, that he had been at the back of the room. Helen Clouston, 22415 Woodway Park Road, Agent for the Hajo Corporation and Appellant/Applicant, explained that the reason the carport is needed is to protect her tenants' vehicles from the pitch that drips from the neighbors' trees that overhang on her property. Ms. Clouston said she has asked them to trim the trees, but they do not wish to because it would reduce their privacy. Ms. Clouston referred to a letter which was sent to her by the Condominium's President wherein he stated there is no objection to the carports, but they would not like the tree limbs cut whatsoev- er. Ms. Clouston provided the letter to the City Clerk which was marked Exhibit 1. Ms. Clouston also provided four pictures to the City Clerk, marked Exhibit 2 which showed various properties in the same block as their building that seem to have been allowed variances for carports and/or parking stalls. It was noted that this was her assumption. Mayor Naughten opened up the hearing for public testimony in which no one came forward. Mayor Naughten returned the discussion to the Council. Mayor Naughten asked Mr. Wilson how wide the driveway is and Mr. Wilson replied that it appeared to be 28 feet. The Council discussed the possibility of building a carport away from the set- back, but Mr.Wilson said that could also impede on the driving lanes leading in and out of the property. The Council proceeded to discuss the matter further and decided there were other op- tions available to Ms. Clouston and a variance was not necessary. Councilmember Palmer said he agreed with the Hearing Examiner's Findings and Conclusions. Coun- Councilmember Palmer said that the property owner still has the ability to trim back the offend- ing tree limbs. Councilmember Palmer also mentioned that according to the City Map, there is still a potential to construct a carport within their own property which would not require a variance. Therefore, COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO UPHOLD THE HEARING EXAMINER'S DECISION. MOTION CARRIED CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF PINE RIDGE PARK MASTER PLAN (CONTINUED FROM AUGUST 6, 1991) Arvilla Ohlde, Parks and Recreation Manager, referenced the Agenda Memo which the Council had before them. Ms. Ohlde proceeded to brief the Council on the Plan which included the discussion of the Boardwalk, addition of feeder trails on the east side of Goodhope Pond, and a request by EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3 September 16, 1991 the Council to assure that all the public documents were sent to the neighbors of Pine Ride Park. Ms. Ohdle reminded the Council that the Master Plan is not in the design development stage nor is it in the construction stage. Ms. Ohdle explained that at this time, the Council is look- ing at concept, and the Council may wish to incorporate various concepts into the Master Plan. Ms. Ohdle said at the August 6th hearing, discussion and concerns were voiced in the areas of the boardwalk and a circular loop being included in the plan, as well as the addition of small feeder trails on the east side of Goodhope Pond. Ms. Ohlde assured the Council that letters have been sent to the neighbors three separate times indicating when the hearings were. In addition to this, she also sent out the agenda packet that she had written for the Council this evening. Ms. Ohlde feels this is a good Master Plan. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if Ms. Ohlde is asking the Council for approval of the general Master Plan or is she asking the Council to put in specifics. Ms. Ohdle said she feels this is a very good comprehensive park master plan for Pine Ridge Park; however, the Council could adopt the seven suggestions made by the Consultant on page two of her letter which is included in to- night's packet. Ms. Ohlde explained that Pine Ridge Park is in a state of need and those needs have to be addressed. Councilmember Hertrich brought up the fact that the Council had previously come to a conclusion that a circular walkway was not to be considered in the plan. Councilmember Hertrich wanted to make sure that if the Master Plan was approved this evening, that the concept of a circular walk- way would not be included, or he would not vote in favor of the Master Plan. Councilmember Nordquist expressed his concern over the implementation process of the phases pre- sented by the Consultant. Councilmember Nordquist feels there needs to be a definitive plan with regards to phases so that the community can be aware of what is going on. Councilmember Nord- quist said that projects in Edmonds have a tendency to table off and if there isn't a tickler of some sort to bring this up on a date or time certain, it gets lost. Councilmember Nordquist said people have taken time to attend these hearings to find out what is gong to happen to the park and he is sure they would like to see some timelines. Councilmember Nordquist made the statement that the phase implementation is too vague. The Council discussed the proposed boardwalk and the circular loop. It was the consensus of the Council that "less is best", and that the community has expressed their displeasure over includ- ing a circular loop. Councilmember Hertrich said the concept of the loop should be eliminated in the trail system. Councilmember Palmer expressed his concerns over the boardwalk. Councilmember Palmer feels that before the Council looks at any kind of an intrusion into the pond area, that the other parts of the area should be completed such as restoring the pond. Councilmember Palmer feels it is impor- tant to reduce the environmental impact to the park. Council President Wilson said he wished to hear from those in the audience. Barry Birch, 20905 Woodlake Drive, told the Council that the community does not want to stop any funding for this project. Mr. Birch said he was not in favor of a boardwalk, and was concerned that it was addressed in the Master Plan as a "general concept" as well as "boardwalk elements". Mr. Birch feels this is not a concept, but a specific item. Mr. Birch also mentioned that if a boardwalk was constructed, -it would be difficult for police to apprehend an assailant in the park because there are three ways to get out of the park. Mr. Birch also referenced a study of the park performed by a fish and wildlife expert approximately five years ago. Mr. Birch said the study could be useful and would save the city money by not heaving to pay for another study. Mr. Birch distributed seven photos of Chase Lake Park, which were marked Exhibit 1. Mr. Birch ex- plained that Chase Lake Park is poorly maintained and he does not want Pine Ridge Park to be maintained in the same manner. Joe Gregory, 20902 Woodlake Drive, referenced Councilmember Dwyer's comments at the previous hearing that "we defer to nature", and was in favor of that attitude towards Pine Ridge Park. Mr. Gregory said he is also concerned that the Master Plan lacks a timeline, and he was also concerned about the phrase "environmentally sound" which has been included in each revision of the Master Plan. Mr. Gregory feels that the claim is difficult to make since the environmental study was brief. Mr. Gregory also commented that the boardwalk and loop concept is very disrup- tive and should not be included in the Master Plan. Mary Alo, 20900 Woodlake Drive, said that she too doesn't feel the Master Plan is environmentally sound. Ms. Alo feels that a boardwalk would be intrusive, and that Pine Ridge Park should remain a passive park. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4 September 16, 1991 Harry Laban, 8308 208th S.W., thanked the Council for the time they have put into considering the matter at hand. Mr. Laban also voiced his displeasure of the concept of a boardwalk and a loop. Mr. Laban said a circular path would have negative impact, and said signs and maps could be uti- lized throughout the park which would could direct traffic. Linda Marty, 20426 82nd Ave. West, inquired on the status of a proposed parking lot on the corner of 204th and 82nd. Ms. Ohdle responded that it would be a secondary parking lot. Ms. Marty in- quired what considerations would be given as to the clean-up of the proposed parking lot, as well as the aesthetic look of the property. Ms. Marty mentioned that she lives next -door to the park- ing lot and it is usually in a state of disaster. Ms. Ohdle responded that the parking lot planned for that corner is a an incidental one for the provision of a playground set if a play- ground area is implemented. Bill Sterner, 20903 Woodlake Drive, asked the Council to consider the rehabilitation of Goodhope Pond without doing further harm to it. Mr. Sterner feels wildlife in the park is very important and feels if too much is done to the park, the wildlife will decline. Mayor Naughten closed the audience portion of the meeting. Councilmember Hertrich asked Arvilla Ohlde about the extent of the cleanup of the lake, and how it will be done. Ms. Ohdle explained that when that stage of the development occurs, it would probably be within the hydraulic engineering division of the City; however, in looking at the basin study, the lake has no outflow. Ms. Ohdle said that is one of the simplest, but one of the most important elements. Ms. Ohdle said the lake was never designed to hold and retain water. Councilmember Kasper mentioned that he thinks the Council should begin by focusing their atten- tion to saving the pond first and foremost. Councilmember Kasper doesn't feel the Master Plan should be adopted at this time. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON TO ELIMINATE THE CONCEPT OF THE CIRCU- LAR LOOP FROM THE PINE RIDGE PARK MASTER PLAN. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Kasper voting no. Councilmember Palmer said there seems to be a problem separating the implementation plan and process. Councilmember Palmer explained that what the Council has before them this evening is just the concept. The Council proceeded to discuss Pine Ridge Park and implementing a study to save the lake. Councilmember Hertrich stated what he thought were the three priorities: (1) Need to clean up the grounds; (2) Determine at what level to keep the lake; (3) Implement a study on saving the lake. COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO ADOPT THE MASTER PLAN OMITTING THE CIRCULAR LOOP, AND PROCEED WITH CAUTION; THAT WE REMAIN VERY MUCH AWARE THAT WE SHOULD PROBABLY DO AS LITTLE As WE CAN TO THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY AND STILL SUCCEED IN OUR GOAL; AND WE SHOULD PROCEED WITH FOREMOST IN OUR MINDS TO ATTEMPT TO PRESERVE THE POND IN SOME SORT OF A STATE THAT IS NATURAL AND PASSIVE AND VIABLE AND THAT WE SHOULD BE AWARE THAT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS POND WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE ANIMALS, INSECTS, BIRDS, BUT CAUSED BY HOMOSAPIANS, AND WE NEED TO PROCEED IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE CAN'T CONTINUE TO BE OPPRESSIVE ON THAT PROPERTY - IF WE DO THAT, WE ARE GOING TO FAIL. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILSON, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO INCLUDE ITEM 1 WHICH IS RECORD ALL COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC AND THE CITY COUNCIL AS A WRITTEN ATTACHMENT TO THE MASTER PLAN. MOTION TO AMMEND CARRIED with Councilmember Kasper voting no. The main motion, as amended, then carried. REPORT ON PROPOSALS OPENED JULY 22, 1991 FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND WIRING, DISCUSSION ON q RECOMMENDATION, AND WARD F N R C . Steve Perry, Administrative Supervisor, reported that the Requests for Proposals for a new Tele- communications System and Wiring were opened on July 22, 1991. Mr. Perry noted that eight bids were received, and after reviewing each bid, the Telephone Selection Committee unanimously con- curs in the Consultant's recommendation of Conception Communications to provide the City with the NEC NEAX1400 system. Mr. Perry said Conception Communications was found to offer the best system at the best price. Mr. Perry also noted that three wiring bids were received, and after reviewing each, the Tele- phone Selection Committee unanimously approved using .Integrated Network Systems, Inc., for the wiring, as they spent the most time researching the City's requirements, while also offering the lowest price and best service. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5 September 16, 1991 Councilmember Nordquist asked Mr. Perry if he has an estimate on what the City has spent on con- sultant fees to date, and Mr. Perry replied he would get that information to Councilmember Nord- quist in the near future. Councilmember Palmer stated he had some minor participation in the telephone selection process, and has nothing but praise for Mr. Perry, the Consultant, and the Telephone Committee for the thoroughness of their work, and thanked them for getting the best equipment at the lowest price. Councilmember Hertrich mentioned that as a member of the Telephone Selection Committee, he had an opportunity to view the proposed system at different companies and cities. Councilmember Hertrich said there is only one area of concern and that is the color of the screen on the atten- dant console. Councilmember Hertrich mentioned that it was difficult to read, and Mr. Perry responded that new software will address the problem. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO APPROVE THE RECOMMENDED STAFF ACTION. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Kasper said he voted in favor because it did not include voice mail. PROPOSED ORDINANCE REGARDING BENCH WARRANT PROCESS t�AScott Snyder, City Attorney, summarized his memo to the Council dated September 11, 1991. Mr. Snyder reminded the Council that the Supreme Court Rules have removed the ability of the Munici- pal Court Judge to issue a bench warrant if a defendant fails to appear for an offense which does not carry a potential for jail time. Mr. Snyder said he reviewed with Judge Conroy several ap- proaches, including instituting a separate failure to appear offense, as well as recriminalizing the offenses. Mr. Snyder said Judge Conroy and City Prosecutor David Steiner believe the Court would function more efficiently if all cases were treated in the same manner. The court adminis- tration is leery of having a separate offense for persons who fail to appear and the additional paperwork required. Mr. Snyder said 90% of the court's arraignment calendar falls into the non- jailable offenses category. Mr. Snyder said that Sherrie Gursley, Court Administrator, was present, and the Council might want to ask her some questions. Concerning the statement on the additional paper work incurred by the court administration, Councilmember Hertrich feels it would cost the City less to hire an additional clerk to handle the increased paper work than it would be to hire additional legal staff. Council President Wilson asked Ms. Gursley what the cost to the City would be if the City went back and changed everything back to jailable. Ms. Gursley said it would be minimal compared to having a clerk, space, and the amount of paperwork that would be involved. Ms. Gursley said the Public Defender costs are between $1800 and $2200 a month. Ms. Gursley stated that in most cas- es, a public defender is not utilized by a person faced with a jailable offense. Ms. Gursley explained that by making all of the offenses jailable and conforming to the State law, it would save the Municipal Court money. Councilmember Dwyer stated that basically a court rule is forcing the City, as well as other cities, to change the way they do business. Councilmember Dwyer said on the other hand, one of the reaons why the offenses were decriminalized was to save costs. Also, in reviewing the offens- es in the proposed ordinance, he has a hard time believing that some of them would have jail time assigned to them. Councilmember Dwyer said he is convinced that the most cost effective, effi- cient way is to follow the recommendation, even though he feels that the City is being coerced into conforming. Ms. Gursley mentioned that even if jail time is imposed on all of the offenses listed in the ordinance, 85% of the time the Judge does not impose jail time, unless it is a habitual offender. Councilmember Palmer said Mr. Snyder's memo indicated if the City recriminalized, the City would probably want to re-enter negotiations with Mr. Feldman to provide a flat monthly fee, similar to what the City of Lynnwood does. Mr. Snyder mentioned that Judge Conroy will be submitting his annual report in the near future and that would be a good time to sit down with Mr. Steiner and Mr. Feldman to review their contracts. Councilmember Palmer felt that this should go to the Public Safety Committee. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AS DRAFTED. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Dwyer and Councilmember Hertrich voting no. (The City Attorney later advised the City Clerk that there was a discrepancy in the ordinance and he would provide it for the next Consent Agenda). EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6 September 16, 1991 DISCUSSION ON MUNICIPAL SPACE NEEDS CONSULTANT SELECTION Councilmember Nordquist feels the Council should move forward on this. Councilmember Nordquist said he reviewed all of the presentations made to the Council by the five different consultant firms, and after reviewing the criteria, Councilmember Nordquist felt that ARAI/Jackson was the best choice, therefore, COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER TO AP- PROVE THE FIRM OF ARAI/JACKSON TO PERFORM THE MUNICIPAL SPACE NEEDS STUDY. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Dwyer voting no. MAYOR • Mayor Naughten asked the Council if there were any objections to the transfer of a liquor license that was submitted by the Southland Corporation, for the 7-11 store at 21920 Highway 99. No objec- tions were noted. Councilmember Jaech inquired on the status of the liquor license at Las Flores at Westgate. • Councilmember Jaech stated that the restaurant has changed hands a few times, and the transfer of the liquor license had been approved when the restaurant changed. Councilmember Jaech noted that 'I the restaurant is again without a liquor license, and inquired if there was a problem. Mayor N Naughten said he would look into the matter. Mayor Naughten reminded the Council of the upcoming Cities and Towns Dinner meeting on September 28th. COUNCIL Council President Wilson confirmed with the City Clerk that Councilmember Jaech's motion will reafirm the fact that the circular loop will not be included in the Pine Ridge Park Master Plan. Council President Wilson changed the date for the Waterfront/Downtown area consultant selection from September 28th to October 19th, due to previous commitments on the behalf of several council - members. COUNCILMEMBER PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO EXCUSE COUNCIL PRESIDENT WIL- SON'S, COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST'S, AND COUNCILMEMBER DWYER'S ABSENCES ON SEPTEMBER 10, 1991. MO- TION CARRIED. Councilmember Palmer expressed his gratitude to Jackie Parrett for all her fine work she has contributed to the City. Councilmember Palmer noted that this would be Jackie's final Council meeting, as she will be retiring effective October 1, 1991. Councilmember Palmer inquired on the status of the Council Expense Policy, and Councilmember Nordquist said the Finance Committee will be forthcoming with that information. Councilmember Hertrich referenced the packet of information that Peter Hahn had supplied the Council with regards to the application by Olympic View Water District for a new building. Coun- cilmember Hertrich asked the Council if anyone had any input. No input was offered. Council President Wilson referenced Constitution Week and expressed the importance of it. Council President Wilson thanked Jackie Parrett for her contribution to the City, and said she had always added a certain dignity to the job, and it was appreciated. Amanda Foote, Student Representative, thanked the Council for the tremendous opportunity in allow- ing her to be a part of the Council meetings. The meeting recessed to an Executive Session regarding property acquisition at 9:30 p.m. and recessed thereafter. THESE MINUTES ARE SUBJECT TO OCTOBER 1, 1991 APPROVAL.
