Rebecca Anderson, Edmonds, recalled last week she and three other Edmonds residents spoke and
submitted a proposed revised plan for the Housing Strategy adoption process along with a problem list.
They were hopeful it would provide direction to begin more detailed, open and collaborative process for
drafting and adopting this critical policy direction. This is a passionate topic among residents because it
affects everyone. Neighboring cities have huge development projects underway that will impact Edmonds
residents’ quality of life. She was encouraged last week when Councilmembers weighed in on the strategy;
they clearly they care about Edmonds. While she did not appreciate the verbal attacks and not taking
personal responsibility for how the process reached this point, many suggestions and opinions were voiced,
including removing it from the Comprehensive Plan and waiting for things to calm down before trying to
create another Housing Strategy. While this may seem a good solution in the short term, it will not solve
what is currently happening in the City. Construction has not stopped while the Housing Strategy is being
created; permits are still being issued, short platting continues, high density zero lot line projects are being
constructed. Without a vision for the City in addition to the Housing Strategy framework, Edmonds will
end up looking like it has been thrown together. She spoke in favor of a well-thought-out strategy with a
better process that includes public input so the housing needs of Edmonds can be address together. She
encouraged the Council to do the hard work and not to give up.
Ferrell Fleming, Executive Director, Edmonds Senior Center, complimented City staff particularly
Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite and City Attorney Jeff Taraday on the work they did to reach this
point. Mr. He also complimented the City’s Finance Committee, Councilmembers Teitzel and Buckshnis,
for their diligent work during the process. Two recent meetings have been held with key staff involved in
the permitting process and he appreciated their wholehearted commitment to enable the center to remain
on schedule. The Edmonds Waterfront Center will be the culmination of the 50-year partnership between
the City and the Senior Center. A hallmark of the partnership has been that both parties continue to keep
the big picture in mind: creating and maintaining an innovative senior center for the many older citizens of
Edmonds and the region, making a waterfront facility available for community use, and creating a
waterfront regional park with convenient beach access and parking. The partnership has been effective
because the strengths of the municipal corporation and the 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation have has been
allowed to take center stage when appropriate. All the county senior centers and many cities respect and
even envy the partnership that has accomplished so much. In the 1960s and 1970s, the partnership enabled
the City to acquire the property and upgrade it to its present configuration. More recently, the City had
$10M in its Capital Improvement Plan for many years to replace the Senior Center; that item has been
removed. The City recognized in its 2013 Strategic Action Plan that the Senior Center would be much better
at raising the money to build the Waterfront Center and recognized the desperate need for a new building
and to move quickly. The Senior Center looks forward to strengthening and enhancing the partnership with
the City for the benefit of everyone and believes the proposed amendments to the ground lease are a step
in that direction.

Ms. Hite highlighted a chart of grant awards 2012-2018 for Parks and Public Works
Councilmember Buckshnis said because the Council did not review the CIP/CFP page-by-page, she will
provide information to the Parks & Public Works Committee. She suggested updating the Edmonds Marsh
project narrative. As a member of WRIA 8’s grant funding committee, she said they have not received a
grant request from Edmonds for the last three years. She recognized the City has applied to NOAA and she
will reach out to them. She questioned an email from staff stating grant funds have been denied. Public
Works Director Phil Williams said the City has not applied because they have been told it would be a waste
of time until the City can show a property interest. Unocal refused to allow access to the property during
cleanup.
Mr. Williams anticipated a property transfer to WSDOT early in 2019 will make it much easier to discuss
with WSDOT the City’s interest in taking Willow Creek across the property. To be competitive for grants,
the City needs an agreement from the land owner (WSDOT) stating they support the City’s project. The
funding agencies do not want to invest in a project that the City does not have a property interest in. The
State paid $8M for property and have made it clear they intend to be paid if someone else wants to buy it.
The City only needs the ability to bring Willow Creek across the property, not own the property. He
suggested the City may not even want to own the property There will not be a “no-further action” letter
issued to the State from Ecology saying the property is cleaned up to the point that no further action is
required, but that leaves residual liability.
Councilmember Buckshnis said many Parks & Recreation departments take on large projects like this; she
has seen cities support multimillion projects; Edmonds’ staff does not seem to be supportive because
supposedly someone told staff not to apply. She found it difficult to believe WRIA 8 was advising staff not
to apply because the City does not own the property; WRIA 8 is all about orca and salmon recovery. Mr.
Williams said the City does not need to own the property, there just needs to be an agreement with the
4.1.a
Packet Pg. 7 Attachment: 11-20-2018 Draft Council Meeting Minutes (Approval of Council Meeting Minutes)

Page 6
current land owner to build across on property, similar to any other municipal project. He anticipated the
City could obtain that agreement from WSDOT. The State issued a new draft Ferry plan that removed all
reference to Edmonds Crossing which opens the door to have a conversation about a land owner agreement
to daylight Willow Creek across the property, but that is not possible until WSDOT owns the property.
Councilmember Buckshnis said some of the information in Mr. Williams’ email was incorrect; she will
confer with her colleagues at WRIA 8.
Councilmember Buckshnis said the $3M Meadowdale request is a high priority for WRIA 8 even though
they have no agreement with BNSF to redo the trestle. WRIA 8 is attempting to help them get them $3M.
Ms. Hite said Salmon Recovery Funding (SRF) Board funding is managed through the Recreation and
Conservation Office (RCO). Josh has been the City’s grant rent at RCO for quite some time; he specifically
said in order for the City to be competitive in that grant cycle, the City needs the Landowner
Acknowledgement form that allows the City to build through the property. Staff is waiting to apply and
have been able to extend the 2014 grant which has enabled design to continue but the City is not competitive
for the next stage of design that goes through that property. Mr. Williams assured staff is excited about the
project and doing whatever they can to make it happen as quickly as possible. The timeline has been
compressed and may not be realistic.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to the list of marsh grants, commenting the City has not received
any grants since 2016. Ms. Hite said the RCO grant has been extended and funds added, but the City cannot
apply for additional grant funding until WSDOT provides the Landowner Acknowledgement form.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas observed staff has applied for funding from NOAA.
Councilmember Teitzel referred to schematic design for Civic, relaying he recently spoke to a number of
citizens and the Council received several emails about parking. He recognized that issue was discussed with
the citizen group advising the project design as well as at public hearings and during Council discussions.
Although no parking is currently planned at Civic, he asked how the design would be affected if parking
were added, whether it would delay the design and/or increase the cost. Ms. Hite answered it would do
both, create a delay and increase costs. There is also a limited amount of space on the site where parking
can be added based on the restrictions from Snohomish County and the State for $1.5M in grant funds.
Ms. Hite explained the two acre area where parking could be accommodated would be on northwest where
the tennis and multiuse courts are located, the Boys & Girls Club and the entry plaza with the water feature
at the grand entrance. Those two acres can be used for a community facility, parking, or other impervious
surface. The restrictions on the remainder of the land do not allow parking and restrict the amount of
impervious surface. Councilmember Teitzel asked if the tennis courts could be relocated if parking were
sited on the northwest corner. Ms. Hite said it would require redesign. The City has applied for grants based
on the master plan tied to this design; removing recreational components could impact the grants, both the
Hazel Miller and the State grants.
Councilmember Johnson asked what staff has learned from Shannon & Wilson related to sea level rise and
how that affects the coastline and the marsh project. Ms. Hite responded information was presented by
Shannon Wilson who did hydrology modeling using the 2050 and 2100 expected sea level rises; in both,
with the daylighted creek open and the amount of water that enter the marsh, it was likely some flooding
would occur at Harbor Square. Shannon & Wilson considered tide gates and levees and have indicate the
seawalls likely will be breached by 2100 which will require building up the walls in the out years to maintain
the waterfront walkway and waterfront areas.
Mr. Williams said the impacts of sea level rise go well beyond marsh; a lot of areas along the waterfront
will be very wet in 2100 unless something is done between now and then. Councilmember Johnson asked
4.1.a
Packet Pg. 8 Attachment: 11-20-2018 Draft Council Meeting Minutes (Approval of Council Meeting Minutes)
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 20, 2018
Page 7
what staff learned from Shannon & Wilson about the Waterfront Center. Ms. Hite responded Shannon &
Wilson did not model the Waterfront Center, but she recalled the Waterfront Center design team looked at
the 2100 projections and raised the building three feet in their design.
Councilmember Johnson said it seems counterintuitive to upgrade the marsh and then have to install tide
gates and levees, noting it was really a question of elevation. Ms. Hite agreed, the marsh will likely be lower
than the sea level rise. Mr. Williams said there is also a slow but ongoing settlement of the land surface;
water is rising and the land is slowly settling and both create negative impacts.
Councilmember Tibbott referred to the sidewalk crew anticipating in the budget and asked whether that
crew could accomplish DP 115, the walkway in City Park and how the $40,000 would be used for that
project. Mr. Williams answered if the sidewalk/concrete crew is approved in the budget, the next challenge
will be to find the right people in this market to do the work. That same question has been posed with regard
to 10-15 other projects, most of which are not sidewalk segments which was the original focus of that crew.
Once the crew is hired, a more meaningful conversation can occur. The City has short and long walkway
lists, $6M in ramp upgrades, other sidewalk improvements, in addition to other projects such as park
walkways. The park walkway would likely not be at the top of the priority list for this crew based on the
funding request, but it could be considered. Councilmember Tibbott asked how the City Park walkway
would be completed. Ms. Hite answered it could be done by a private contractor, but the intent was to do it
in-house with the park crew. It is more like a park path with pervious asphalt rather than a sidewalk.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to an email from citizens relaying the neighborhood’s concerns
with parking for Civic. She asked whether $40,000/parking space was accurate for a parking garage. Mr.
Williams said he has heard $30,000-$40,000 and higher. Sound Transit has had the most recent experience.
If the property is already owned, the cost would be less, as purchasing property adds to the cost. He
summarized $45,000/parking stall was not unrealistic.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas relayed a suggestion in the email to use $75,000 from the parking study
to build a 30-50 space garage. She wanted to be clear that although a garage would be nice to have, it would
be expensive; $45,000/space for 50 spaces would exceed $2M. Mr. Williams said the parking study will
identify how many available parking spaces currently exist, the extent to which they are used, the demand
for parking, whether there are partners, identify appropriate locations, etc.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented there are churches within a few blocks of Civic where there
was potential to lease parking. She recognized parking was an issue; festivals such as the Taste, 4th of July,
etc. result in vehicles parking in neighborhoods as well as the use of shuttles. That said, she was not sure a
parking garage was financially feasible. Mr. Williams said the Port is considering a garage on their property
near Railroad & Dayton. If the parking study is approved in the budget, he anticipated working with the
Port to coordinate efforts as the Port will also be hiring a consultant.
Councilmember Teitzel referred to citywide pedestrian enhancements, nine projects are highlighted,
however, none of them are on Highway 99. Pedestrians are crossing 7 lanes of 50 mph traffic on Highway
99 today; he was feared waiting to install a crosswalk in the area of 238th until the Highway 99 revitalization
process which could take 8-10 years would result in more injury and fatality accidents. He suggested a
crosswalk project in that area the nearer term.
Mayor Earling opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Laurie Sorenson, Edmonds, said she has the privilege of looking at the marsh and Puget Sound every day
and she is concerned about orcas not getting enough food. The marsh used to have salmon. The governor
created a taskforce and she did not see the Edmonds Marsh listed in their recommendations. The taskforce
4.1.a
Packet Pg. 9 Attachment: 11-20-2018 Draft Council Meeting Minutes (Approval of Council Meeting Minutes)
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 20, 2018
Page 8
has $60M to spend on investment and restoration, acquisition and habitat. She suggested talking to the
governor about daylighting Willow Creek and/or get the marsh included in the task force’s
recommendation.
Jim Van Tighem, Edmonds, spoke in favor of including an ADA accessible playground at Civic Field.
He supported turning Civic Field into a new City park and most people think it is a fantastic idea. The
closest ADA playground is at the new Miner’s Corner Park in Bothell. There is a new ADA accessible
playground in Bellevue, Inspiration Playground, in Bellevue City Park next to Bellevue Square and one is
proposed in Mountlake Terrace on the former golf course property. There are no ADA accessible
playgrounds this area although two schools, Maplewood and the Alderwood Early Learning Center have
programs for disabled children. An ADA playground can be used by all kids. He recalled when visiting his
grandchildren in Los Angeles, they visited a park with an ADA playground and it was very popular. If the
City does pursue an ADA playground at Civic, there will need to be a parking lot with spaces for vans and
small buses that bring children to the park.
Joe Scordino, Edmonds, retired fisheries biologist, said the past few weekends he has been out with
Students Saving Salmon doing surveys in Shell Creek. This last weekend, during a two-hour period, they
saw more salmon than they did all last year. Salmon will come back given the opportunity. Although there
are passage problems in Shell Creek, the salmon are returning, getting past the partially blocked culvert and
Coho salmon were observed spawning in the area near Holy Rosary Church. Salmon could also spawn in
Shellabarger and Willow Creek if the daylighting project were constructed. He suggested the CIP narrative
may need to be rewritten to show the commitment. The CIP does not take a very aggressive approach and
it contains outdated information which leads the public to believe the project is not moving forward. He
said many of the concerns could be address by updating the CIP/CFP to illustrate progress and
opportunities.
Susan Paine, Edmonds, was excited about putting together a plan for the Unocal property and having it
be adjunct to the Edmonds Marsh and daylighting of Willow Creek. She spoke in favor of a funding package
to buy all or some of the WSDOT property when it becomes available next year which means it needs to
be included in the 2019 budget. There is a great deal of interest in the Edmonds Marsh, even outside this
community and there are people in the community who have access to resources and would like to
contribute to make this happen. It would help with sea level issues and 2050 is not far away. She has UW
resources that would be interesting to bring in including modern engineering design.
Hearing no further comment, Mayor Earling closed the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Councilmember Teitzel asked if the City should pursue a right of first refusal agreement to formalize the
City’s interest in acquiring the WSDOT property if the opportunity arises. Ms. Hite answered that is an
option. WSDOT knows the City is interested in bringing the creek across the property whether or not the
City owns the property. It would be great to be able to do that and not own the property as it will be
expensive. WSDOT purchased the property for $8M years ago. The City could negotiate a right of first
refusal which would allow the City to be first at the table if WSDOT does decide to sell the property.
Councilmember Teitzel asked if there was a downside to a first right of refusal. Ms. Hite answered no, the
City can always opt not to purchase the property, but it gives the City negotiating power. Mr. Williams said
one downside is it was a clean-up site, Unocal has spent a fortune to clean up the site to a certain standard,
which would probably not be the standard the City would require in areas where excavation would be done.
Whoever owns the property has that liability including if regulations change in the future, the costs related
to its former use and contamination are the owner’s liability. He suggested adding a right of first refusal to
the land owner agreement that will be executed with WSDOT.

Councilmember Buckshnis commented sometimes public shaming/exposure works, this is a poster child
for the environment. The governor is focused on orca and salmon recovery. She requested next year’s
presentation include reviewing the CIP/CFP in its entirety rather than just decision packages as she has
several questions related to the CIP/CFP that are not decision packages. She asked if the Frances Anderson
Center roof replace was completed, noting there is $391,000 in 2019. Mr. Williams answered staff has been
working with a designer on a bid package for the oldest part of the Frances Anderson Center roof. The
intent is to do the work in warm weather in 2019. Councilmember Buckshnis inquired about $300,000 for
exterior painting of Frances Anderson Center. Mr. Williams said that will be done with the City’s own
resources, not grant funds, and has proven to be a bigger project than expected, requiring repair work before
repainting. Councilmember Buckshnis said she will send other questions to staff.

Councilmember Fraley-Monillas recalled last year she requested the EMS levy be separated from the
property tax levy, but they are combined in the proposed ordinance. Mr. James agreed the ordinance in the
Council packet combines the regular property tax levy and the EMS levy. The ordinances can be revised
into two ordinances and scheduled for approval on next week’s Consent Agenda.
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BUCKSHNIS, TO SEPARATE THE EMS LEVY AND PROPERTY TAX LEVY. MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Johnson referred to the opportunity to bank the increase and asked Mr. James to explain
the process and the impact that would have. Mr. James said when the Council elects not to impose the 1%
increase, it can be banked for future use. The City currently has approximately $66,000 in banked capacity.
Councilmember Tibbott asked if the 3.6% ($273,600) increase for South County Regional Fire Total was
the total increase. Mr. James answered 3.6% is the estimate for 2019. Councilmember Tibbott asked the
cost of South County Fire. Mr. James referred to budget book page 57, where the Fire contract is estimated
to be $8,095,000 in 2019. South County Fire has not yet settled their 2018 contract; 3.3% is the estimated
increase for the 2018 contract plus 3.6% in 2019. Until the contract is settled, the amounts are estimates.
Councilmember Tibbott observed that is far more than the EMS levy covers and how that gap is covered.
Mr. James said the City has received record sales tax revenues this year because the economy is so strong.
As Mayor Earling and he have mentioned, although the economy is still healthy, there are signs that it is
slowing. Development related revenues this year are half of last year, meaning projects in the pipeline for
new construction are low. However, car sales are quite strong. Councilmember Tibbott summarized sales
tax is one of the revenue sources to cover the gap and there is potential those revenue sources may decline.
Mr. James commented property tax is a stable source whereas sales tax is not stable. He recalled during the
downturn, sales tax revenue was one of the first to be impacted, after development-related revenues.
Councilmember Buckshnis inquired including $149,424 for the new School Resource Officer when
$60,927 of that amount will be reimbursed. Mr. James answered the reimbursement is based on a full year;
he was uncertain when the SRO will be hired or when the school district will start paying. The City will
hire the officer, he/she will work for the City and then deployed to the school in September. He did not
have a hard number for that time period, so he used $149,424 to avoid confusion. Councilmember
Buckshnis asked about the 50/50 split. Mr. James said it is not quite a 50/50 split for the first year as the
officer will work for the City for part of the year.
Mayor Earling opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. There was no one present who
wished to provide testimony and Mayor Earling closed the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Council President Nelson commented there are things the City can and can’t control such as the City can’t
control the legislature increasing property tax rates 16%, higher car tabs, public voted increases for Sound
Transit. However, the City can control utility taxes and property taxes. When all the taxes citizens pay are
4.1.a
Packet Pg. 13 Attachment: 11-20-2018 Draft Council Meeting Minutes (Approval of Council Meeting Minutes)
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 20, 2018
Page 12
combined, this is just one more thing they have to pay. Everyone he hears from is at their breaking point.
Although the proposed increase may not seem like much, the City needs to stop looking at it as a small,
insignificant thing. In researching the Department of Revenue website, there no guidance about decreasing
property taxes, only increasing property tax. He proposed a 1% cut in property taxes to reduce the amount
of revenue the City collects.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas understood the EMS levy, but in participating on housing committees and
hearing the comments, it is clear seniors, veterans and the disabled are being taxed out of their houses and
often have to choose between mortgage, food and medicine. Philosophically she has a hard time passing a
property tax increase, even a 1% increase, when citizens are saying they cannot afford their taxes and they
are being taxed out of their homes. She was happy to pass the EMS increase because it is clear the rate has
declined but she was uncomfortable with increasing property taxes for things like increasing reserves and
spending money on all kinds of different things.
Mr. James recalled in 2003, a former Public Works Director thought it prudent to reduce utility tax rates.
That is still hurting the City today; a series of rate increases have been necessary to make up that different.
The property tax increase generates $103,000; the City is spending more than that and adding things without
new revenue. He suggested the Council reconsider the proposed 1% property tax decrease, pointing out the
economy has peaked and he did not expect the economy to continue to be as strong in 2019 or 2020.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked whether the Council could reduce property taxes 1%. City Attorney Jeff
Taraday said he’s never heard of it being done but he thought it could be. Councilmember Buckshnis
preferred to have separate ordinances for the 1% increase in the EMS levy and the 1% increase in the
property tax levy. Mr. James said the City has until November 30 to inform Snohomish County Assessor;
whatever the Council approves, the assessor is informed and homeowners’ property tax bills reflect that
action. Mr. Taraday said he wanted to research how a decrease in the 2019 property tax levy would affect
banked capacity for future years. One of the suggestions is to develop several ordinances the Council could
choose from next week. If that suggestion has Council consensus, it would be helpful to have a range of the
lowest and highest and amounts in between. Councilmember Buckshnis commented the maximum increase
is 1%.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said another option is to not increase or decrease the property tax levy.
Councilmember Mesaros commented there are three options, 1) increase the EMS levy 1%, 2) increase the
property tax levy 1%, and 3) decrease the property tax levy 1%. If the Council did not approve any of those
options, the property tax remains the same. Mr. James said a fourth option is banking the increase and a
fifth option is the status quo. The Council must pass a property tax ordinance regardless of the amount. Mr.
Taraday summarized the options for the property tax levy:
1. Decrease without banking
2. Decrease with banking
3. No increase without banking
4. No increase with banking
5. Increase 1% or another percentage
Councilmember Mesaros said the Council could amend the ordinance to change the amount of the
increase/decrease. Mr. Taraday said a numerical adjustment could be made at the meeting; it is not just the
rate that is changed, the levy amount requires additional calculation. The more direction the Council can
provide tonight, the better.
Councilmember Johnson asked if last year was the first year the EMS levy was increased. Mr. James
answered no. Councilmember Johnson asked when the Council began increasing the EMS levy 1%. Mr.

James answered to his knowledge, it was raised in 2014 and every year since. Councilmember Johnson was
comfortable with raising the EMS levy and assumed most Councilmembers were agreeable. The property
tax levy has always been an issue; some years the property tax levy has been increased and some years it
has been banked. The Council has never considered no action or decreasing it. Last year was a 4-3 decision
and she expected it to be a contentious decision this year.
Mr. James said the ordinances will not be in packet because the packet will be distributed tomorrow. Mr.
Taraday offered to email the ordinances to Councilmembers on Monday for review. That was agreeable to
the Council.
3. 2019 PROPOSED BUDGET PUBLIC HEARING
Mayor Earling opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. There was no one present who
wished to provide testimony and Mayor Earling closed the public participation portion of the public hearing.
Finance Director Scott James explained the reason for holding a public hearing is to hear from citizens. He
thanked the four Councilmembers who submitted budget amendments as it is important for citizens to see
what the Council is thinking and to provide an opportunity for citizens to comment on the amendments. He
encouraged Councilmembers to submit any other amendments to staff.

Councilmember Fraley-Monillas requested Mr. James email the presentation to Council.
Council President Nelson explained ten of the proposed amendments are about a hiring freeze. The City
has been hiring over the years and with indications of a an economic slowdown ahead, he was trying to put
on the brakes. Except for public safety, he recommended delaying hiring of employees and ten of the
amendments reflect that. With regard to the downtown parking study, he wanted to reduce the cost, finding
$75,000 too high. Similarly, he found $35,000 too much for the gateway sign. He was happy to hear an
ADA accessible playground was planned for Civic Park; he has heard some children are not able to access
some of the assessible equipment on existing playgrounds.
Councilmember Mesaros commented the duplicate amendment to remove the National Citizen Survey
would reduce the impact to the General Fund Ending Cash from Council amendments to $376,759.
Councilmember Buckshnis invited any citizen interested in the rationale for her amendments to contact her.
She inquired about the amendment she submitted to reduce DP 111, Waterfront Connector, by $1M and
add a new decision package for $1M for Edmonds Marsh restoration. Mr. James explained when the grant
application was submitted to the State, it was for the Waterfront Connector, and it was not easily
transferable to the marsh. Councilmember Buckshnis suggested $1M come from the General Fund for the
Edmonds Marsh restoration because she anticipated some action next year and she wanted to illustrate her
priority to get it done.
Councilmember Teitzel withdrew Item 16, reducing the City’s SnoCo Health District Contribution to $1,
in view of Councilmember Fraley-Monillas’ amendment to reduce the contribution to $0.50. He referred to
the list of Staff Recommended Budget Changes, Item 8, Move $250,000 Transitional Housing Budget to
REET Fund 125, advising there is a research effort underway to identify homelessness issues in Edmonds
and this was the $250,000 the Council set aside to address that. He was unsure Council was comfortable
with moving those funds to Fund 125 until the research has been completed, public comment has been
provided, etc. Mr. James said the proposed budget book had $250,000 coming out of the homelessness fund
that was allocated in the 2018 budget, which was an error. This item backs that expense out and moves it
into the REET fund.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.
Mayor Earling said staff will prepare a response outlining how the amendments impact their budgets.

Johnson asked the value of the land the City owns. Ms. Hite said because park/city property is exempt, the
assessor does not update the value. She estimated an acre of waterfront property was valued at $8-$10M.
Councilmember Johnson pointed out while there has been discussion of a $12M project, considering the
City’s land contribution and park improvements, the City is actually contributing more than the Senior
Center.
Councilmember Johnson recalled the original contract addressed maintenance and asked if the new contract
addressed maintenance of the parking lot. Ms. Hite explained maintenance of the parking lot would be the
City’s responsibility in the new proposed lease. Councilmember Johnson asked the City’s total
responsibility in the new lease. Ms. Hite answered maintenance would be very low in the beginning for a
new facility; after 5-6 winters, she anticipated potholes, cracking, and repaving of portions of the parking
lot and replacement of the entire lot in 12-14 years. Once the rain gardens and bioswales are established,
they require minimal maintenance.
Councilmember Teitzel commented there is nothing in the proforma about debt service or operating reserve
other than an indication of TBD. Those numbers are needed before a final decision is made. The financing
package focuses on design and construction of the Waterfront Center and does not address ongoing
operational cost. If funding was not sufficient to cover ongoing operational cost, he asked if it was
anticipated the Senior Center would borrow from the City to cover those costs. That has occurred with the
ECA and the intent was to avoid a similar situation with the Senior Center. Ms. Hite answered non-profits’
ability to be versatile is much greater than a city’s versatility. Nonprofits are used to operating on a
shoestring and creating efficiencies. She did not expect the Senior Center would ask the City for operational
funds. They will have a beautiful facility, will be able to generate revenue from rentals and will be on more
solid footing than the current building.
Councilmember Teitzel referred to places in the Ground Lease where Senior Center and Waterfront Center
are used interchangeably. For example, in Section 3.1, “The parties mutually agree and acknowledge that
the Senior Center’s operation of the Senior Center upon the Property effectuates a fundamental government
purpose and…” pointing out the second “Senior Center” should be “Waterfront Center. Mr. Taraday said
where the language refers to the non-profit entity, the phrase “Senior Center” should be used and where the
language refers to the building, the phrase “Waterfront Center” should be used. He identified several places
where a change should be made and offered to make those changes in the document.
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled during a Finance Committee discussion with the Senior Center, the
committee requested an update to the feasibility study; however, an updated feasibility study was not
included in the packet. The feasibility study dated April 2016 states the Senior Center receives $60,000/year
from the City when in fact the City provides $75,000/year, and the maximum cost of the building is $10-
12M and that cost is now $16M. The committee also requested an updated proforma that replaced TBD
with numbers, as well as addressed questions about rental income and wages.
If the Council decides to fully fund the parking lot, Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked the source of
the funds. Ms. Hite answered likely from the REET balances; there is currently $800,000 in one and
$600,000 in the other. She recommended leaving at least $400,000-500,000 in each. With the $250,000
already included in the budget, an additional $683,000 is needed.
Councilmember Mesaros asked if the full project cost of $6.1M included the additional amount proposed
in the new lease of $933,000. Ms. Hite answered it included the full cost of the parking lot and frontage
improvements.
Councilmember Johnson suggested obtaining a report from permitting staff regarding the project timeline
due to the fish window, etc. Ms. Hite said land use permits have been submitted for the waterfront

redevelopment project and the building and are being reviewed. A joint permit has been submitted to the
State’s joint aquatic agency for the Waterfront Center, Ebbtide walkway and the park redevelopment. The
review has been completed by two of the agencies and the National Marine Services Center will be writing
a biological evaluation. She expected more mitigation will be required for the overwater walkway. Once
that process is complete, it will go to the Architectural Design Board and the Hearing Examiner if necessary
in March/April. She anticipated both projects, the park redevelopment and Waterfront Center, will submit
building permits in mid-December and hopefully break ground on both projects mid-April to early May.
The fish window for in-water work for the waterfront restoration project (remove the creosote pier and
reintroduce beach habitat) is mid-July to mid-October.
Councilmember Buckshnis relayed the balance in Park Impact Fees is $3,309,494 and asked if those funds
could be used for this project. Ms. Hite answered some are being used for the City’s portion. Park Impact
Fees are programed through Fund 332 in the CIP, some for this project and some in the out years for Civic.
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT
NELSON, TO APPROVE THE OPTION AND LEASE AND FUND THE $933,868 FOR PARKING
LOT AND FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENTS.
Councilmember Johnson pointed out this was on the agenda as a study item and she preferred a decision be
made at the next meeting. Ms. Hite suggested bringing back the agreement with the language changes
Councilmember Teitzel requested, numbers in the proforma, updated feasibility study, include the funding
in the budget and schedule approval on consent.
Councilmembers Buckshnis, Teitzel, and Fraley-Monillas were agreeable with scheduling approval on the
Consent Agenda. Council President Nelson said he was amenable to voting tonight or wait until next week.
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS WITHDREW THE MOTION WITH THE
AGREEMENT OF THE SECOND.
Ms. Hite clarified Council direction was to fund the full amount and schedule approval on the Consent
Agenda.
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
MESAROS, TO EXTEND THE MEETING TO 10:15 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Buckshnis suggested moving Agenda Items 4 and 5 before Item 2.
4. PRESENTATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH MURRAYSMITH FOR
THE FIVE CORNERS RESERVOIR RECOATING PROJECT
City Engineer Rob English explained additional work has been encountered which requires additional
services from MurraySmith. The proposed fee is $59,810 and includes $6,000 in management reserve.
Tasks include additional submittal reviews, request for information and clarification, change order support,
on-site inspections, structural engineering support, corrosion repairs and additional project management.
Staff recommends approve on the Consent Agenda. The additional services will be paid from the Water
Utility Fund.
It was the consensus of Council to forward this item to the Consent Agenda.

City Engineer Rob English drainage currently runs down Bell Street to an existing infiltration facility that
does not have the capacity to handle the runoff. In working with Public Works operations, the City’s
stormwater engineer identified a solution to take the line across 1015 Bell Street and connect to an existing
storm drain in the alley north of Bell Street. There would be a 10-foot easement on the western side of the
parcel to install the pipe.
It was the consensus of Council to forward this to the Consent Agenda.
2. LAND USE PERMIT DECISION-MAKING AND QUASI-JUDICIAL PROCESS
Environmental Program Manager Kernen Lien recalled the Council has previously discussed the Council’s
role in the quasi-judicial decision making process. Most of the discussion has been the Council’s role in
Type III decisions. Following the October 2nd public hearing, Council requested staff return with code
language reflecting the Council acting on behalf of citizens by filing a judicial appeal.
Mr. Lien reviewed potential amendments to the Edmonds Community Development Code detailing the
process for Council appeal of a Type III decision:
ECDC 20.03.002 Notice of Application (NEW SUBSECTION)
H. For all Type III permit applications, notice of application shall also be provided to the City
Council by email.
ECDC 20.03.003 Notice of Public Hearing (NEW SUBSECTION)
F. For all Type III applications, notice of public hearing shall also be provided to the City Council
by email.
20.02.007 Notice of final decision. (MOVED FROM ECDC 20.06.009)
A. The director shall issue a notice of final decision within 120 days of the issuance of the
determination of completeness pursuant to ECDC 20.02.003; provided, that the time period for
issuance of a notice of final decision on a preliminary plat shall be 90 days, for a final plat 30
days, and a final short plat 30 days. The notice shall include the SEPA threshold determination
for the proposal, and a description of any available administrative appeals, and for all Type III
decisions, information as to how to inform the city council as to alleged errors in the decision.
3. For all Type III decisions, notice of final decision shall be provided to the City Council by
email.
20.06.XXX City council as party of record in Type III proceedings. (NEW SUBSECTION)
A. Intent. The city council has eliminated its role as the quasi-judicial decision-maker on
administrative appeals of Type III decisions in favor of having the ability to participate in such
matters as a party of record at both the administrative level and in the courts, through a LUPA
action, if necessary. The notice provisions in ECDC 20.03.002, ECDC 20.03.003, and ECDC
20.02.007 reflect the interest of the city council in overseeing the decision-making process on
Type III applications. City council oversight is intended to ensure that the City’s code is being
properly administered and interpreted by the Type III administrative decision-maker. Type III
applications are of particular concern to the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare,
and therefore are of particular concern to the city council, because they involve higher levels
of discretion and can allow for variances from the Edmonds Community Development Code
adopted by the city council. Because of the nature of Type III decisions and its interest in seeing
its legislation properly applied, the city council would be prejudiced by an erroneous Type III
decision. To ensure that erroneous Type III decisions can be corrected swiftly, the city council
shall be an official party of record in all Type III proceedings, whether its members participate
in the Type III process or not.
B. Exercise of Party of Record Status. As a trustee of the public interest, the city council is not
required to participate in the Type III process to satisfy the exhaustion (of administrative
remedies) requirement that applies to other would-be parties of record. The city council retains
4.1.a
Packet Pg. 21 Attachment: 11-20-2018 Draft Council Meeting Minutes (Approval of Council Meeting Minutes)
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 20, 2018
Page 20
its party of record status throughout the administrative process, even where it does not
participate. The city council may ask the Type III decision-maker to reconsider its decision,
but not doing so in no way diminishes its party of record status for the purpose of seeking
judicial review under LUPA, chapter 36.70C RCW. Any decision by the city council to seek
reconsideration or to commence a LUPA proceeding shall be made during an open public
meeting.
Mr. Taraday said one of main reasons for the addition of 20.06.XXX.B is to satisfy LUPA standing
requirements so if the matter reaches Superior Court, it can stay in Superior Court.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to reference to “the City Council” filing a judicial appeal and
asked who is responsible as there are seven members. Mr. Lien said that is addressed in the next section.
Mr. Lien continued his review of the potential amendments:
20.06.XXX. Informing the city council of alleged errors in Type III decisions. (NEW SUBSECTION)
A. A party of record, as defined by ECDC 20.06.030, may bring alleged errors to the city council’s
attention and request that the city council appeal a Type III decision on behalf of the citizens
and the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare. To make this request, a party of
record should:
1. Have already sought reconsideration of the decision pursuant to ECDC 20.06.010;
2. Make the request to the city council within seven (7) days of the decision on
reconsideration; and
3. Make the request by:
i. Submitting it in writing to the Council’s legislative/executive assistant and the
Development Services Director; or
ii. Verbally requesting it at a regular City Council meeting.
B. The city council’s decision to appeal or not appeal a Type III decision in response to such a
request is a legislative decision that is not subject to review under LUPA. Making such a
request has no impact on the time within which one would be required to commence a LUPA
action.
C. Nothing herein shall be construed as preventing the city council from appealing a decision on
a Type III application in the absence of an appeal request made pursuant to this section.
Mr. Lien advised staff is only seeking input tonight, not a decision.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to the statement, “Any decision by the city council to seek
reconsideration or to commence a LUPA proceeding shall be made during an open public meeting.” and
asked if that meant the Council would debate the merits of an appeal at the dais. Mr. Taraday said likely
the Council would discuss the merit of a case in executive session under potential litigation and make a
decision in open session. The Council could have that discussion in public, but he did not recommend it.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas pointed out the public will not know the basis of the decision if the
Council discussed the matter in executive session. Mr. Taraday said the request from a citizen is the primary
basis for the appeal. Even if the Council were sitting in an appellate capacity, he would also not publicly
discuss a close question of law. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented as the appellate body, the
Council currently has discussions in public. Mr. Taraday said court proceedings would be public, the same
as the Council’s current appellate decision.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked what happened if the Council missed the 7-day appeal timeframe.
Mr. Taraday said the 7-days was “should” not “shall.” If someone made a request on the 8th or 10th day, the
4.1.a
Packet Pg. 22 Attachment: 11-20-2018 Draft Council Meeting Minutes (Approval of Council Meeting Minutes)
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 20, 2018
Page 21
Council has a reasonable basis for saying no, but the Council still has the ability to appeal. He clarified the
Council is not restricted to the 7-day timeline but is subject to the same 21-day LUPA deadline.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked what currently ensures a case is heard by the Council within 21
days. Mr. Lien explained the appeal to City Council is an administrative appeal. Currently the Council’s
decision is the final decision and that starts the 21-day period for a LUPA appeal. If the Hearing Examiner’s
decision is the final decision by the City, that starts the 21-day period.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked how the Council is informed of an appeal request. Mr. Lien
answered in the current process, the Council is informed when an appeal is filed. Under the proposed
process, Council will receive notice of the Hearing Examiner’s final decision. Mr. Taraday explained it was
a “belt and suspenders” approach: the belt is the ability for citizens to come to Council and request an appeal
and the suspenders are Councilmembers can raise a concern.
Councilmember Buckshnis asked the total cost to a citizen. Mr. Lien said currently if a citizen appeals a
Type III decision to the City Council, the fee is $500. Under the proposal, a citizen files a request for
reconsideration which costs $250 and the Hearing Examiner issues their decision on reconsideration. The
citizen could then ask the Council to file a judicial appeal. Councilmember Buckshnis summarized the City
Council was interjecting themselves as a legislative body to appeal to Superior Court on behalf of a citizen.
Mr. Lien agreed. Councilmember Buckshnis asked what happened if some Councilmembers did not agree
with filing an appeal. Mr. Lien said it would require a majority of Council to initiate an appeal.
For Councilmember Buckshnis, Mr. Lien explained the proposed process changes the City Council’s role;
instead of a quasi-judicial, the Council would essentially become an appellant. Mr. Taraday clarified the
phrase, “on behalf of a citizen,” the citizen would not be a party to the LUPA appeal unless they filed their
own appeal. Filing on behalf of a citizen means the City of Edmonds as directed by the City Council is
appealing the Hearing Examiner decision. The citizen may benefit if the City wins and the decision
reversed, but he would not be representing the citizen in Superior Court. Councilmember Buckshnis
commented fortunately the City currently has a flat rate attorney; if the City returned to an hourly attorney,
a lot of money could be spent on this process. Mr. Taraday said the Council could also change the process
if they returned to an hourly attorney.
Councilmember Teitzel said his interest was not making this harder for citizens and although it sounds very
complicated, it actually makes it easier for a citizen to pursue an appeal because they would not have to
hire an attorney and the filing fees are less than appealing to the City Council in a quasi-judicial capacity.
Mr. Lien said currently, if a citizen files an appeal to City Council, the cost is $500 and the cost to file a
judicial appeal at Superior Court is $240. Petitioning the Council to appeal removes a step in the process
for the citizen. Councilmember Teitzel commented it also obviates the need for the citizen to hire attorney.
Mr. Lien said a citizen can represent themselves pro se in an appeal to Superior Court. Councilmember
Teitzel said if the City Council appeals, the City Attorney’s office would represent the City. Mr. Lien
agreed.
Councilmember Teitzel asked if the proposed process was simpler and less costly for a citizen. Mr. Lien
answered it takes one step out of the process, the closed record appeal to City Council, and eliminating a
step makes it simpler. Mr. Taraday said it eliminates a step if the Council agrees to appeal which should
not be presumed. It is possible there will be citizens who request the Council appeal and the Council will
decide not to. Mr. Lien said even if the Council does not agreed to appeal, it still eliminates a step before
the citizen can appeal to Superior Court. Councilmember Teitzel said under the quasi-judicial process, the
Council hears the case and renders a decision and the citizen can appeal to Superior Court. Mr. Taraday
advised the judicial appeal never goes away but the administrative appeal goes away on Type III under this
proposal.

COUNCILMEMBER TIBBOTT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING FOR 10 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Tibbott asked how and when a citizen would make their case to the City Council. It
appeared it would be in writing for discussion in executive session but if it was at a City Council meeting,
how did the citizen get on the agenda. Mr. Lien reviewed the timing, a citizen had seven days following the
reconsideration decision. The Hearing Examiner typically issues decisions on Fridays. If a citizen chose,
they could come to City Council on the following Tuesday. The request would not be in the packet, but the
Council would have received the notice of final decision on reconsideration.
Councilmember Tibbott asked if the notice to Council would include all the documentation presented to
the Hearing Examiner for reconsideration. Mr. Lien said the notice of application and notice of public
hearing, staff report, and all materials associated with the application are included with the Hearing
Examiner agenda. The Council could be added to receive the Hearing Examiner and ADB agendas.
If a citizen disagreed with the Hearing Examiner’s decision, Councilmember Tibbott asked how they would
get on the Council’s Tuesday agenda. Mr. Lien said they would not have to be on the agenda; they can
make their request by, 1) in writing to the Council’s legislative assistant and Development Services
Director, or 2) verbal request at a regular City Council meeting during audience comments.
Councilmember Tibbott asked if the three-minute audience comment would be their only opportunity to
request the Council appeal. Mr. Taraday said it would be up to the Council President if he/she wanted to
allow more than three minutes. If a citizen requests an appeal during audience comments, the Council has
several options including amending the agenda to add more time to hear from the citizen at the same meeting
or the next meeting, scheduling an executive session at that meeting or the next meeting, etc.
Councilmember Tibbott said one thing that was compelling to him about the proposed process was it offered
the Council an opportunity to walk a site, get more information from the parties, etc. which the Council
was not able to do in the existing quasi-judicial review. He asked at what point more exploratory analysis
could be done. Mr. Taraday said one of the advantages of the notice provisions was they were designed to
invite the City Council into the process at the earliest possible stage. For example, after seeing a notice, a
Councilmember could decide to attend and/or testify at the Hearing Examiner hearing, talk with the
neighbors, etc., because there are no concerns with ex parte communication that exists in the current
process. Councilmember Tibbott asked if Councilmembers could attend the reconsideration hearing. Mr.
Lien explained there is no hearing for reconsideration. The Council will receive the request for
reconsideration and the concerns raised regarding the Hearing Examiner’s decision.
With regard to the seven days, Councilmember Mesaros said there are four times a year when there is a
fifth Tuesday where the Council does not meet for ten days. The citizen could still submit a written request
but the opportunity to make a request at a Council meeting could expire during those ten days. He noted
that was especially true in December when the Council does not meet for a period of time due to the
holidays. Mr. Lien said the Hearing Examiner meets on the second and fourth Thursday of every month
and he has 10 business days to issue a decision, typically the Friday following 14 days. He agreed there
were instances there would not be an opportunity to make a request in person and the citizen would need
to file a written request.
COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING FOR FIVE MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Teitzel said the objection he has he heard to moving away from the quasi-judicial was it
may erode the ability of Council to be advocates for their constituents. However, it was his understanding
4.1.a
Packet Pg. 24 Attachment: 11-20-2018 Draft Council Meeting Minutes (Approval of Council Meeting Minutes)
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 20, 2018
Page 23
this revised process may actually improve the Council’s ability to advocate for their constituents. Mr.
Taraday agreed, because as judges the Council cannot advocate on behalf of one of the parties.
8. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Earling said he has reason to believe the political dynamics in Washington, D.C. are shifting with
the knowledge of another party taking over authority within the House of Representatives. Sound Transit
has been trying break loose $1.2B in funding to get light rail to Lynnwood and that was recently
accomplished. Sound Transit will also be receiving a $650M low interest loan. In speaking with one of
Congressman Larsen’s aides, he mentioned for the first time in two years they are getting more return
emails when asking questions within the administration which the aide viewed as real progress. Mayor
Earling was hopeful many things could be moved along. He wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
9. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Teitzel said this week is a time to be thankful. He was thankful for the opportunity to live
in the most beautify city in the state, for being able to serve on Council and enacting policies to keep
Edmonds beautiful, for his family including his wife and daughters and for being a graduate of Washington
State University. He said Go Cougs.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she was thankful to be Packers’ fan, for people who support the
environment and for all the help staff provides. She urged everyone to spread kindness.
Councilmember Johnson wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and said go Cougs.
Council President Nelson wished a Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Councilmember Tibbott wished a Happy Thanksgiving, offered his condolences to Cougs and said go
Huskies.
Councilmember Mesaros wished a Happy Thanksgiving.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she spent the past week on the hill in Washington, D.C. and she
agreed a new-found energy was resurging. She wished everyone a nice Thanksgiving and go Huskies.
Mayor Earling said go Cougs.

5. ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT
1. SENIOR CENTER LEASE AMENDMENT PROPOSAL (previously Consent Agenda Item
4.4)
Councilmember Johnson recalled she had reservations when the ground lease was presented to City Council
three years ago, primarily of an environmental nature and her concerns have not been completely satisfied.
She was aware there were plans to build the building 12 inches about the flood area; however, with global
warming, king tides and flooding, she was not convinced this was the best decision for the City with regard
to the location of the senior center. She will not vote in favor of the lease amendment.
In the event the breakwater was not sufficient or was damaged during construction, Councilmember
Johnson was unclear who would be financially responsible, whether the cost would be shared 50/50 or if it
would be 100% the City’s responsibility. She pointed out there is inadequate parking in that area and there
needs to be a plan for parking such as utilizing adjacent parking lots or a parking system for larger events.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she and other Councilmembers have received several comments from
citizens regarding the Senior Center. She asked who would be responsible if the Senior Center defaults on
the loan they are considering for the remainder of the building funds. She was told by the executive director
that whoever loans them the money will be out the money, that the City will not be responsible to pay back
the loans. For clarification, she explained the Senior Center will own the new building, but the City owns
the land. City Attorney Jeff Taraday referred to Paragraph 4.3 in the proposed ground lease which addresses
many related topics including the specific question Councilmember Fraley-Monillas raised with regard to
loans. He read from the paragraph, “Senior Center shall not encumber the Property or any Improvements
thereon without prior written approval of the City.” That sentence prevents the Senior Center from using
the City’s property or their building on the City’s property as collateral for a loan. He used the example of
a mortgage where the land secures the loan; the Senior Center cannot do that in this situation. Any loans
the Senior Center gets would most likely be unsecured although he did not have information related to their
financial plan and suggested those questions be directed to the Senior Center. Based on this sentence, he
assumed most of their loans would be unsecured. To the extend there is a default on an unsecured loan, that
is between the Senior Center and the lender and the City should not have any liability to make up any
default.
Councilmember Teitzel read from Section 4.3 of the Ground Lease, “Failure to remove the lien or furnish
the cash or bond acceptable to the City within thirty (30) days shall constitute an Event of Default under
this Lease and the City shall automatically have the right, but not the obligation, to pay the lien in full with
no notice to Senior Center and Senior Center shall immediately reimburse the City for any sums so paid to
remove any such lien.” He inquired about the word “immediately” in this clause; immediately to him meant
without delay and he asked if that could mean the same day. He said “immediately” was a term of art and
he was troubled by a term of art in a legal document. Mr. Taraday did not agree it was a term of art; a
general legal principle in interpreting legal documents is that unless there is a specific reason to interpret a
word in a way that’s different than its regular, plain dictionary meaning, the regular, plain dictionary
definition is used. He did not see a reason to interpret “immediately” differently than it would be used in
ordinary speech.
4.2.a
Packet Pg. 28 Attachment: 11-27-2018 Draft Council Meeting Minutes (Approval of Council Meeting Minutes)
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 27, 2018
Page 3
Mr. Taraday provided context for this sentence, noting if the Senior Center can’t encumber the property,
how could there be liens. Under state law, when a contractor or subcontractor works on property and doesn’t
get paid for the work, they are entitled to file a lien on the real property to ensure they will ultimately get
paid. That is theoretically how these liens could arise. The Senior Center is not authorized to not pay its
contractors and furthermore, it provides that the Senior Center would obtain a performance bond to ensure
if they aren’t able to pay their contactors, a third party would pay the contractors. He concluded the City
was well protected in that regard.
With regard to “immediately,” Mr. Taraday explained if the lien was not removed immediately, Senior
Center would be in default under the lease and the lease provides various different ways of correcting
defaults, one of which, in the most extreme cases of default where there is no other viable remedy, the City
could terminate the lease in which case all improvements located on the property would become the City’s
property. He did not anticipate that would ever be necessary given the protection provided by the
performance bond.
Councilmember Johnson recognized the seawall was outside the footprint of the build, but its sole intent
was to protect the building. She asked if the lease agreement addressed responsibility for the seawall. Mr.
Taraday said it does not directly address replacement of the seawall; the seawall is be outside the footprint
that the Senior Center is leasing from City. Councilmember Johnson asked if the City would be responsible
for maintaining or replacing the seawall even if its sole function was to protect building. Mr. Taraday said
the seawall protects not just building but also the parking lot which provides parking for the building and
City’s adjacent park as well as protects the City’s trail system located on the waterfront side of building.
Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite said the seawall is currently the City’s responsibility to maintain.
If the seawall were damaged due to construction of building, which is not covered in lease, she believed it
would be the Senior Center’s responsibility. If there was any damage to the adjoining Ebbtide building, the
sidewalk or sections of the parking lot that are planned to be reconstructed, it would the Senior Center’s
responsibility as part of the construction project. Mr. Taraday agreed. Councilmember Johnson commented
the property is a former site of a sawmill, so what under the surface is unknow.
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled in September the Finance Committee asked for an updated proforma
that replaced TBD with numbers as well as an updated feasibility study the reflected the $16M estimated
cost, but those have not been provided. She observed the Senior Center may borrow $1.5M. She asked if
the City could loan money to the Senior Center, similar to the loan to the Edmonds Public Facilities District,
if the Center was unable to sustain its profitability. Mr. Taraday answered there was nothing preventing the
City from choosing to lend money to the Senior Center, but there was also nothing that obligated the City
to lend them money. The lease expressly contemplates the City Council will have a forthcoming opportunity
to revisit their financial circumstances.
Mr. Taraday referenced Section 4.1.1 of the proposed lease which states “Senior Center shall undertake no
demolition, construction, remodeling, alteration, or changes ("Work") on or to the Property without the
prior written consent of the City, which shall be within the discretion of the City Council to withhold or
deny. In applying its discretion, the City Council shall consider, among other factors deemed relevant by
the City Council, the extent to which the Senior Center has secured sufficient capital and/or financing to
complete the construction of the Building, the construction of other improvements to the Property, and
related financial obligations (including having an adequate contingency fund for the contemplated Work
)…”
Councilmember Buckshnis clarified the City could choose not to authorize the Senior Center to break
ground if their financials are not sufficient to support the project. Mr. Taraday agreed, when the Senior

Center comes to the Council in a few months seeking that authority, the City Council will have another
opportunity to review their financial status and the extent to which they have the capital secured and decide
whether the Council is comfortable moving forward.
Council President Nelson commented on the importance of continuing the long-term partnership for this
vital community asset.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS, TO
APPROVE THE OPTION TO LEASE BETWEEN THE SENIOR CENTER AND THE CITY OF
EDMONDS. MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON VOTING NO.

7. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Dave Cooper, Edmonds, referred to the Housing Strategy Task Force, commenting he has been following
this issue for a long time. He urged the Council to listen to the people who are opposed to Housing Strategy
and have very deep concerns about it. In the meetings he has attended, 75-80% of the people are opposed;
many others who do not have time to attend meetings are very concerned about the Housing Strategy. The
original task force represented special interests and did not reflect the citizens of Edmonds which is the
reason for the opposition. It would be more cost effective in the long run to involve the people who are
opposed to the draft Housing Strategy, get their input and develop a strategy everyone can agree on instead
of doing it multiple times. There has been talk of litigation if the Housing Strategy is passed. He supports
the concept of more density in Edmonds, but his other concerns have been ignored. He was impressed with
how hard the City Council works and suggested it may be time to move to a paid City Council because a
Council paid for by the taxpayers would provide better representation and, as a taxpayer, he would be
willing to pay for that.
Jay Huag, Edmonds, said he first learned of the Housing Strategy Review agenda item yesterday. He and
others understand the thinking behind it and many like the reset date of the 2020 but the way the Citizen
Housing Commission is chosen is one of the biggest concerns as there does not appear to be an open
application process and Councilmembers who vote one way will appoint accordingly. The current
administration seems to be controlling a good portion of the process. Most citizens weren’t fooled by the
charade this summer and fall regarding the Housing Strategy and the trust factor is almost non-existent.
Mayor Earling having two information meetings in the heart of the holiday season, December 3 and 13,
makes it appear there is once again a rush to complete the Housing Strategy. He requested the City Council
remove the Housing Strategy from of the Comprehensive Plan and develop a new plan with citizen input
and transparency. He will trust in the process until he doesn’t; government doesn’t always get it wrong,
such as with the Housing Strategy, and when enough citizens speak up, the Council needs to listen. Some
of the ideas may be helpful in starting a new open and inclusive process in 2019 that will truly reflect what
the residents of Edmonds want. Citizens do not want Edmonds to be another cookie-cutter town which the
original strategy intended to do. He urged the Council to reach out to the citizens; hundreds have come to
meetings, open houses, town halls, workshops, to speak honestly about what they want the Council to do.
Rebecca Anderson, Edmonds, was encouraged by the efforts being made regarding the Housing Strategy
process, specifically how to include more input and participation from residents which will result in a better
outcome that will benefit residents of Edmonds. Rushing through another draft of the Housing Strategy
would likely result in more skepticism from residents. She was encouraged to see some Councilmembers

working on the challenge of how to include more residents in the process as illustrated by the Housing
Strategy Review submitted by Councilmembers Teitzel and Buckshnis on tonight’s agenda. With regard to
the questions in that document, should the Council obtain the services of consultant, she suggested the skill
set may exist among residents willing to assist in that role. With regard to citizen involvement, she was
unsure creating a commission at the Council level was an open enough process; for example, how would a
commission reach out to all residents, all neighborhoods. She proposed the positions be restricted to
residents not already on other City commissions, task forces or committees so they could focus on Housing
Strategy. Regarding communication, she said the City can do better; emails and websites are only helpful
when people know how to sign up or where to look. She suggested sending a postcard to all Edmonds
residents informing of the strategy effort and inviting them to provide input and be informed of the process.
Even with the new commission, the need for a better process remains. She encouraged the Council to review
the revised plan for Housing Strategy Adoption process submitted by residents during Audience Comments
at the November 13 Council meeting for inspiration. She thanked the Council for working on ways to
include more Edmonds residents in this important issue, but there seems to be lack of cohesiveness between
the administration and City Council; they seem to be working in parallel rather than together on the Housing
Strategy issue. For example, last week there was communication from the City regarding two public
information meetings scheduled for next month. She asked how that effort relates to the process the Council
will be discussing tonight. It would be more productive and less taxing if the administration and Council
worked together.
Jeff Scherrer, Edmonds, expressed appreciation for the City Council, Mayor and staff’s efforts. He
relayed a quote from Dr. Adrian Rogers in 1931 “You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating
the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for
without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take
from somebody else. When half the people get the idea they do not have to work because the other half is
going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because
somebody else is going to get what they worked for, that is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply
wealth by dividing it.” He suggested considering that quote in the discussion of the Housing Strategy. He
asked the City Council to remove the Housing Strategy from the Comprehensive Plan and begin a process
in 2019 that truly involves Edmonds residents.
Mike Hanning, Edmonds, agreed with the request to remove the Housing Strategy from the
Comprehensive Plan and involve citizens instead of the handpicked task force and advisory group. He
suggested a group of regular citizens, not people with special interests, so the plan reflects what the residents
of Edmonds want.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented the City seems to be making progress on the Housing Strategy
issue. Next, he relayed that the ferry will take over the waterfront in the future. Part of their recent long-
range planning includes larger ferries which results in more people waiting for the ferry and the need for
more parking, as well as another slip south of the current terminal. The terminal will eventually have a ferry
parked overnight, a 70-foot tall structure that will block views from Main Street. Yet, there seems to be no
resistance to that plan. He recalled when he was on the Council, there were several disagreements with the
ferry and they eventually sought an alternate location, the Unocal site. Ferry service will not improve with
an additional slip because the conflicts with the railroad remain. He suggested the City Council inform the
state they do not want a second slip. When he was on the Council, if WSF wanted to enlarge a terminal,
they would look at alternate locations. WSF found an alternate location but now want to give it up because
Edmonds won’t say no.

Finance Director Scott James recalled a presentation was made to Council last week regarding the EMS
and Regular Property Tax Levies. Council requested the ordinances for the EMS Levy and the Property
Tax Levy be drafted separately. He reviewed ordinance options:
EMS Levy
1. 2019 EMS Property Tax Ordinance with 1% increase to levy an estimated $4,048,199
Regular Property Tax Levy
o City Attorney drafted three options
1. 2019 Regular property tax levy with -1% decrease to levy an estimated $10,351,89
(decreases revenue by over $207,000)
2. 2019 Regular Property Tax with 0% increase to levy and estimated $10,455,577 (generates
$103,000 less than the recommended 1% property tax increase)
3. 2019 Regular Property Tax with 1% increase to levy and estimated $10,559,264
(Recommended)
Staff recommends the Council adopt the EMS levy.

APPROVE ORDINANCE 4133 PROVIDING FOR THE ANNUAL TAX LEVY BY INCREASING
THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE PROPERTY TAX LEVY BY THE CURRENT 101%
LEVY LIMIT, THEREBY LEVYING AN ESTIMATED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
LEVY OF $4,048,199. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Staff recommends the Council adopt the Regular Property Tax with a 1% increase.
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BUCKSHNIS, TO ADOPT THE REGULAR PROPERTY TAX WITH A 0% INCREASE
Councilmember Johnson asked staff to describe banking and whether it protects a property owner from a
property tax increase. Mr. James explained a property tax increase that is not levied can be banked for future
Councils to levy. The City current has approximately $66,000 in banked capacity as a result of the Council
raising property taxes by the IPD in 2014. Councilmember Johnson relayed her understanding that banking
allows the City to have a 0% tax increase but gives the Council the authority to levy it in the future such as
in the event of a recession. Mr. James clarified the option in the motion would not raise the 2019 property
tax levy but includes an increase for new construction and banking the 1%.
Councilmember Johnson summarized the Council could adopt a 0% increase and bank the 1% for the future.
Mr. James said the proposed ordinance includes banking. The Comptroller assured a 0% increase in the
property tax levy does not take away the Council’s ability to utilize the banked capacity in the future.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said the intent of her motion for a 0% increase was status quo and not
banking the 1%. If the 1% is banked, citizens will still pay more and the funds are banked. Mr. James
explained the ordinance with a 0% increase includes banking the 1% for future Councils. Future Councils
are not obligated to levy it but provides the flexibility to use it in the future. Mr. Taraday clarified it is not
banking actual money, it is banking the legal authority to levy in a future year what the Council is not
levying this year. Even the 101% is not the true max because it does not include the banked capacity.
Banking in this context is not money collected in 2019 and placed in a bank, it is reserving the authority to
levy it in future years.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas inquired about the language in the ordinance regarding banking. Mr.
Taraday said Section 4 in all three ordinances includes the language regarding banking. Councilmember
Fraley-Monillas asked why that was included in the ordinances. Mr. Taraday said it was included based on,
4.2.a
Packet Pg. 32 Attachment: 11-27-2018 Draft Council Meeting Minutes (Approval of Council Meeting Minutes)
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 27, 2018
Page 7
1) in his opinion it was prudent to preserve that ability for future Councils should the money be needed,
and 2) if the Council disagrees with his opinion, the ordinance can be amended by removing Section 4.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said when she made the motion for Option 1, she did not understand that
it included banking. Mr. Taraday explained if Councilmember Fraley-Monillas wanted a 0% increase and
to not allow a future City Council to levy that 1% in the future, the way to accomplish that was to remove
Section 4 from the ordinance. Mr. Taraday did not recommend that but said it could be done.
Councilmember Teitzel asked if the Council decides not to increase the 2019 property tax levy rate, that
does not mean the City’s property tax income in 2019 would be flat because as assessed values increase,
property taxes increase at a commensurate level. Mr. James said that was not true, recalling recalled a graph
he displayed last week that illustrates the inverse relationship; as property values increases, the property tax
rate decreases. If the Council chooses this option, the City can only increase what was raised last year,
$10,368,000 as well as the allowance for new construction. The extra taxes citizens are experience are not
a result of increases in assessed value. As a retiree, Councilmember Teitzel said he was sensitive to property
taxes. He pointed out the 101% option would be approximately a $0.60/month or $6/year increase in
property taxes. Mr. James said the cost of a 1% increase to the average homeowner is $0.62/month.
While he appreciated the intent to not increase property taxes, Council President Nelson preferred to take
it a step further by reducing property taxes by 1%. He will oppose the motion as he believes property owners
have been carrying this burden too long and need some relief.
Councilmember Mesaros inquired about the increase to the banked capacity if the Council adopted an
ordinance that included banking. Mr. James answered it would be the 1% or $103,000. Councilmember
Mesaros observed that amount would be added to the existing $66,000 and a future Council could utilize
that if they chose.
Councilmember Buckshnis expressed support for the status quo. She asked if there was a time limit for
using the banked capacity such as five years. Mr. James said there is no time limit. Mr. Taraday explained
the state allowed banking in part out of the recognition that cities cannot, without voter approval, increase
the property tax levy by more than 1%/ year. In recognition of that limitation, the legislature provided this
vehicle so that when cities feel they don’t need full 1% in a given year but may need it in a future year, the
city would have banked authority to increase property tax levy by more than 1%.
Councilmember Buckshnis summarized a future Council could utilize the accumulated banked capacity.
For example, if the Council did not increase property taxes for five years and banked that capacity, in five
years the Council could increase property taxes 5%. Mr. Taraday provided a scenario, a significant
economic downturn in the next eight years where sales taxes revenue plummets to level such that police,
fire and other essential services cannot not be funded; one of the options that a future Council would have
would be to use the banked capacity to help backfill the loss of sales tax. Every year a Council does not
levy the maximum under the law, they can bank the delta.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she and other Councilmembers have spoken with many citizens
including seniors and veterans who not able to stomach another tax increase. She realized for some people
$6/year was not a big deal, but for some people such as seniors on a fixed income and their Social Security
is increasing, it is significant. The City is spending millions in the proposed budget, and she did not feel the
loss of the property tax increase, approximately $100,000 would be missed. She supported having no tax
increase.
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION TO REMOVE
SECTION 4 SO THIS YEAR’S 1% WOULD NOT BE BANKED. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A
SECOND.

If the Council did not increase the property tax levy rate, Councilmember Teitzel encouraged
Councilmembers to be circumspect about approving budget amendments as not increasing the property tax
levy will increase the budget load without a commensurate increase in property tax revenue.
Mr. James reread the motion:
APPROVE ORDINANCE 4134 PROVIDING FOR THE ANNUAL TAX LEVY BY INCREASING
THE REGULAR PROPERTY TAX LEVY BY THE CURRENT 100% LEVY LIMIT, THEREBY
LEVYING AN ESTIMATED REGULAR PROPERTY TAX LEVY OF $10,455,577.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION CARRIED (4-3) COUNCILMEMBERS JOHNSON, BUCKSHNIS,
TEITZEL AND TIBBOTT VOTING YES; AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON AND
COUNCILMEMBERS FRALEY-MONILLAS AND MESAROS VOTING NO.
Mr. Taraday clarified as he understood the motion, the Council voted to approve the version of the
ordinance that contains Section 4 regarding banking. Mr. James agreed.

Mayor Earling opened the public participation portion of the public hearing
Mike Shaw, Edmonds, commented theory is good thing; the theory of evolution explains how the natural
world works, the theory of climate change explains a lot about what is going on in the world although half
of Congress and the President don’t agree. There is a theory the Edmonds Marsh could use some restoration
and that there could be a new salmon run through the Unocal property, soon to be owned by WSDOT.
Unless funded, that will remain a theory. He supported Council budget change 26, DP 111 and said future
residents of Edmonds, the birds, salmon and fisherman will thank the Council.
Mike Popke, Edmonds, Board President, Edmonds Public Facilities District (EPFD), and General Sales
Manager at Lynnwood Honda, said he and his wife and Lynnwood Honda have supported many things in
Edmonds for the past 25 years. Nearest to their heart is the Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA) They have
seen many positive things happen in the community because the ECA exists. He provided several facts
including the ECA’s economic impact on the community of approximately $7.5M/year, by May 2019 the
ECA will have had 360 ECA presentations, since 2006 has performed to over 840,000 people, and annual
donations of $1M/year from private sources help the ECA survive and thrive. Regarding recent concerns
by members of the City Council about the EPFD’s financial oversight and reference to audit management
letters, he said for the past ten years the EPFD has received one or more management letters; in eight of the
last ten years, the City has also received one or more management letters from the State Auditor.
Management letters are routine and call attention to items that the staff and governing body should be aware
of and take corrective action to resolve. In all cases, the EPFD has taken corrective actions necessary to
resolve any issues raised, just as the City and all government agencies across the state have done. He was
proud of the ECA staff, confident in the leadership and oversight of the district and its operations. He asked
the City Council to join many sponsors, audience members, individuals, businesses, volunteers and donors
and peer cities across Washington State who all support their performing art centers with annual operating
grants, by supporting the ECA.
Nora Carlson, Edmonds, said she loves living in Edmonds. She and her partner returned three years ago
after having lived in Edmonds in the 80s and 90s and became involved in the community. One of the reasons
they decided to move to Edmonds is the strong arts presence. They are active volunteers in several arts
organizations in Edmonds; one of the arts organizations they strongly support is the ECA where they
volunteer. They are 2 in a cadre of 175 people who volunteer at ECA; the value of this support equates to
about $200,000. She asked for a show of hands from the audience regarding people who have attended
performances at ECA, have volunteered or supported ECA in some way; several people raised their hands
and she thanked them for their support. This Giving Tuesday is an opportune time for the City Council to
provide $75,000 to continue and expand the community and education outreach programs currently
available at ECA. The City’s generous funding will make a difference in the programs offered for the benefit
of many including diversity of ages, ethnicity, abilities and both individuals and families who otherwise
could not afford to participate in the arts. ECA offers unique programs on site, in schools and community
venues that includes educational matinees for school and homeschool groups; Saturday matinees; Arts for
Everyone discount tickets for low income students, families and adults; KidStock! free family arts

celebration; artist residencies and interactive outreach; summer art enrichment camps; and the dementia
inclusive series. She provided a quote, “Art has the power to transform, illuminate, inspire and motivate.”
Karyn Roseburg, Edmonds, a second-grade teacher at Westgate Elementary, said every year she seeks
out meaningful field trips for her students. Destinations in Seattle are wonderful but far away and often
expensive for students. They have been attending plays at ECA for many years. In the past she took students
to the Story Box presentations at the ECA; the presentations were okay but did not provide much diversity
from year to year and she planned field trips elsewhere. About five years ago, she returned to the ECA for
their educational matinees which now offer diverse performances and programs throughout the year. In
addition, the ECA offers Arts for Everyone grants. A typical theater ticket for a matinee at ECA is $8; for
many students that cost is a financial hardship. Arts for Everyone grants uses the school’s free and reduced
lunch percentage to offer $2 discount tickets for students and suddenly attending the local theater is more
affordable and equitable for all students. Four years ago she took her students to see the play, “Celestial
Beings,” a performance about a young girl with autism and how she came to be accepted by other children.
When she returned to her classroom, her second graders continued to talk about the play and they ended up
writing sequels to the performance that parents and Gillian Jones, ECA, were invited to watch. She loved
that a one-hour performance turned into a weeklong class project with a culminating performance for
parents. Her daughter, now a fifth grader, was in that group of students and she still brings up “Celestial
Beings” in conversation, illustrating the impact the ECA has on local students. Last year the ECA hosted
Tibetan Monks for a five-day residency. Westgate Elementary was invited to attend an educational matinee
to see the monks perform. One of her students was Tibetan and was happy to attend a field trip based on
his culture and his father attended as a parent chaperone. Her class found the monks’ performance amazing
and she attended an evening performance with her family and the Saturday ceremony. A few weeks ago
she participated in a free teacher workshop sponsored by the ECA where she learned to make puppets for
her classroom and tools for integrating art and STEM in her classroom. The ECA has a huge impact on
local students, community and teachers. She urged the City Council to support ECA with a $75,000 grant
in the 2019 budget.
Donnie Griffin, Edmonds, Vice Chair, Edmonds Diversity Commission, asked for the Council’s support
to increase the Diversity Commission’s staff support from 10 hours/month to 40 hours/month. He described
critical projects they are planning: a downtown business person relayed a customer of color said she no
longer wanted to come to Edmonds because she did not feel welcome in some of the stores and felt she was
being stared at. The business owner returned to her business and talked to an employee of color who
validated the customer’s concern and said she too didn’t like spending much time in downtown Edmonds.
One of the projects the Edmonds Diversity Commission would like to undertake is a grand alliance with
the Communities of Color Coalition of Snohomish County. The grand alliance is designed to engage the
business community and leaders in opportunities to improve and enhance the diverse feel of the downtown
core. Another project the commission hopes to take on is making inroads into connecting with communities
on the Highway 99 corridor in an effort to create alliances with all of Edmonds. A third project is connecting
with a community of color that it has been difficult to connect with, primary the Asian community, and
determine how to make that growing community part of Edmonds.
Gillian Jones, Director of Programming, ECA, read a letter from Phyllis Beacher and her 84-year old
mother, Icho Hutton who participate in the ECA programs for people with memory loss and their caregivers
and implore the City Council to support ECA through the $75,000 grant in the 2019 budget. Her mother
was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease in 2009 and has been living with her for the past 4½ years and
she is her full-time caregiver. They discovered the ECA dementia inclusive series on their website and have
attended nearly every function offered over the past several years. She shared how the offered programs
have benefited her and her mother. The programs give her mother new experiences, activities and something
to look forward to as well as a sense of belonging in a community. Most often she has forgotten the specific
activity or event they participated in by the time they reach the car, but leaves with a peacefulness and calm

after experiencing such pleasant activities. The programs offer Ms. Beacher an opportunity to meet and
socialize with others in a similar situation. She has made several good friends that provide emotional
support. Being the caretaker and also the daughter can be difficult but the community support and sponsored
activities at ECA help make like a little easier for them.
Rich Kuehn, Edmonds, wife Julie and 3½ year old son Jacob, expressed support for the amendment to
add funding for ADA accessible parks and to bring awareness regarding the need for better accessible and
inclusiveness. He distributed information regarding accessibility versus inclusiveness and how they differ
for different disabilities. His son has cerebral palsy and cannot walk on his own. The current definition of
accessibility for ADA parks includes wood chips even though some of the equipment is ADA accessible.
Jacob cannot reach that equipment. They live in Seaview and learned Seaview Park is scheduled for a
playground upgrade next year. They have spend countless hours over the past nine years with their three
children at Edmonds parks but not as much recently because Jacob cannot easily reach the equipment, he
no longer fits the ADA accessible swings and its difficult for him and his wife to carry Jacob to the
equipment. He commented on the importance of making parks more inclusive versus ADA accessible. He
was speaking for his family and other family who were unable to attend tonight’s meeting. He urged the
Council to review the information they submitted and reach out to him or his wife with any questions.
Joe Scordino, Edmonds, expressed appreciation for the Council and the City’s openness in the budget
process so citizens have a good understanding of the budget, recalling when he worked for the federal
government, the goal to hide information. He appreciated the $2500 in the budget for Students Saving
Salmon. There are over 60 students from Edmonds-Woodway and Meadowdale High Schools in the field
learning about science and having an opportunity to look into streams and see salmon and crawdads. He
would like to see the salmon return to all the creeks in Edmonds. He supported a new item in the budget,
funding for the Edmonds Marsh restoration project, and commented on the importance of an open channel
into Edmonds Marsh that would allow salmon to return. He was hopeful the design would provide a parklike
atmosphere so people can see the fish in the creek. He urged the Council to include the funding in the 2019
budget to provide matching funds for grants.
Carl Zapora, Edmonds, former United Way CEO of Snohomish County and Verdant Health Commission
and Public Hospital District, said what he and his wife like most about the Edmonds community is
everything they could want is available including a great hospital, community college, public school district,
fabulous city and great city government, and many good organizations including the Senior Center, Boys
& Girls Club, etc. At the top of that list of assets is a very healthy arts community and at the very top is the
ECA. He is proud that he and wife volunteer, donate and are season subscribers. When they bring visitors
to the community, they love everything Edmonds, but absolutely adore the ECA. The ECA is a crown jewel
and deserves the community’s support. He supported the $75,000 grant in the City’s budget, commenting
it was important for the City to be on record supporting the ECA. Healthy communities don’t happen by
accident; they need to be nurtured and constantly taken care of. He recalled Mayor Earling saying Edmonds
isn’t Deadmonds anymore, noting it took years to build this vibrant community, but it would not take much
to start slide backwards. The ECA and EPFD are doing a fabulous job; the CEO, Joe McIalwain, is
recognized through Snohomish County as one of the finest non-profit CEOs and he has also been Chair of
the Leadership Snohomish County Leadership Board, helping teach other non-profit leaders in Snohomish
County what it means to be a good, strong non-profit organization. He encouraged the Council to consider
the $75,000, not just for the money but the importance of the City being on record that they recognize ECA,
support it and want to be part of its future.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented the budget is large and takes a lot of reading so he selected two
things. First, he recommended utility taxes be reduced. He recalled when a change was made in the way
utility projects were funded, more money would be generated, more people hired, and more projects
accomplished. Unfortunately, many residents have a hard time paying the utility taxes and that often affects

whether they can afford to live in Edmonds. He was concerned that at the end of the year, 50% of the money
in the fund has not been spent. Second, he encouraged the City to increase road maintenance, noting there
was nothing in the budget about chip sealing.
Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Earling closed the public participation portion of the public
hearing.
Mayor Earling declared a brief recess.
Mayor Earling Council described the process for reviewing and voting on Council Budget Changes; the
submitter/requester will describe the amendment, staff will provide a response and Council will take action.
In response to an earlier Council request, he distributed a list of Council priorities for the 2019 budget.
1. Reduce City’s SnoCo Health District Contribution to $0.50/pp - $20,815
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas explained when the budget process began, she submitted a proposal for
the City to contribute $2/capita to SnoCo Health District. Since then, she has been told SnoCo Health
District will receive federal funds via the State Health Department based on population. As Snohomish
County was the third largest county in the state, she expected they will receive a considerable amount, but
it will not be available for 4-6 months. She proposed reducing the contribution to $0.50/capita and if the
funds have not been distributed by May, she will ask for an additional $0.50/capita via a budget amendment.
As chair of the SnoCo Health District, she knew they need money but should receive the federal funds by
May. She was aware Jeff Ketchel, Administrator of the Health District, had spoken to Mayor Earling and
was interested in $1/capita.
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BUCKSHNIS, TO REDUCE THE CITY’S SNOCO HEALTH DISTRICT CONTRIBUTION TO
$0.50/PP.
Councilmember Teitzel said the October 13, 2018 memo from Mr. Ketchel asks for $2/capita for 2019. He
asked why Mr. Ketchel was asking for $2/capita but Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asking $0.50/capita.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said the Health District was not aware until recently the amount they could
expect to receive. The District received approximately $600,000 last year but expect to receive considerably
more this year.
Mayor Earling said in conversation with Mr. Ketchel, his only concern was whether the legislature will act
on the legislation. Mr. Ketchel was satisfied with the proposed funding as long as there was flexibility for
additional funds if the legislation was unsuccessful.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
2. Carryforward Unallocated 2018 Council Contingency – ($93,740)
Mr. James explained last year Mayor Earling included $250,000 in the budget for the Council to allocate.
The Council did not allocated all those funds, so it was allowed to lapse. This amendment would add the
remaining funds to the Council Contingency.
Councilmember Buckshnis commented basically this is Council money; she wanted to include the
unallocated amount in the Council Contingency.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO CARRY FORWARD UNALLOCATED 2018 COUNCIL CONTINGENCY
($93,740). MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

3. Remove Tree Board Minute Taker - $1,500
Councilmember Buckshnis relayed the Tree Board voted not to have a minute taker.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL, TO
REMOVE THE TREE BOARD MINUTE TAKER. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
4. New DP – Add Tree Board Supplies for brochures – ($1000)
Councilmember Buckshnis relayed this would provide funds for two Tree Board brochures.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO ADD TREE BOARD SUPPLIES FOR BROCHURES. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
5. Remove ECA “Enhance our Arts & Culture” contribution - $75,000
Councilmember Buckshnis said the City is on record supporting the ECA/EPFD as evidenced by the $1.3M
the City has loaned to the EPFD over the past 8 years and a recent loan that was collateralized by the City’s
$3M CD. Due to refinancing the bond, the EPFD will not make a payment, which will free up $60,000. In
the 2018 management letter, the auditor stated the biggest policy issue is whether this will ever operate as
a sustainable organization. In view of the financial trends, deteriorating net worth, $1.2M payroll and $1.3M
loan, she preferred to analyze the amount the EPFD needs. The new Contingent Loan Agreement has the
EPFD Board reporting to the Finance Committee which will allow a dialogue about what is needed.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO REMOVE ECA “ENHANCE OUR ARTS & CULTURE” CONTRIBUTION.
Councilmember Mesaros said he will vote against the motion as it behooves the City to support the ECA
which brings tremendous economic strength to the City. Mayor Earling has often said Edmonds is no longer
Deadmonds, and one of key factors over the ten years is the ECA. In response to Councilmember
Buckshnis’ comments about the EPFD refinancing their debt, that is capital debt. Not making that payment
benefits their capital structure but not operating as the $60,000 cannot be used for operations. Although
there is a financial benefit, the benefit will be to the City because the savings will enable the EPFD to begin
repaying their loan with the City. He supports the $75,000 contribution and will not support this budget
amendment.
Councilmember Teitzel was conflicted about this amendment because he is a strong supporter of the ECA
as a patron and donor. He recognized it is a jewel that brings culture and arts to the community. Having
said that, as Councilmember Buckshnis mentioned, the City invested $2.7M in a CD to collateralize a loan
which allowed the EPFD to refund their bond at a lower interest rate, but that tied up a substantial amount
of taxpayer resources. Had the City not engaged in that transaction and instead invested the funds, about a
point in interest could have been gained. The transaction is an opportunity cost to the City because the
Council supports and believes in the ECA/EPFD. Because the City has invested substantially in their
operation, he will support the motion.
Councilmember Buckshnis said she supports the ECA which why she prefers to determine what they need
in the future. As a former accountant, she proposed removing the contribution and determining what the
EPFD needs rather than picking a number of out the air.
To clarify Councilmember Teitzel’s comments, Councilmember Mesaros explained refinancing the bonds
benefits the EPFD but it does not benefit the ECA; the purpose of the grant is to benefit the ECA.

Council President Nelson said he strongly supports the $75,000 contribution to the ECA. With regard to
what the City has already done, the City extended them a loan which they will pay back. This is a grant to
the ECA. He opposed the motion.
Councilmember Tibbott said he will oppose the motion because he sees supporting the operation versus the
collateralized loan as separate issues. Not only do other cities support their performing arts centers,
Edmonds could have been supporting the ECA in the past and probably should have been. The ECA does
a great job and he appreciates what the Council has done in the past to support them.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented issues with ECA have been going on since she started on the
Council in January 2010. With that said, she was interested in what occurs in the coming year at the Finance
Committee and wanted to see actual movement from the City and the EPFD/ECA regarding issues that
continue to plague both sides. She was unsure removing the contribution would be the best step for the City
or the ECA. She was seriously considering a one-time contribution to see what happens in the coming year.
If the situation doesn’t improve and the City Council does not see movement and direction to make it a
more financially successful program, she will advocate against it in the future.
Mayor Earling said this was intended as a one-time contribution. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she
has have heard other Councilmembers talk about this as an annual contribution similar to other cities.
Councilmember Johnson said this seems like hasty decision. She supports the ECA, attends events there
and supports the arts in Edmonds. The ECA is able to get $1M/year in contributions from community,
which leads her to question how expertly they are controlling their budget. She preferred not to make a
contribution this year, have the Finance Committee and the ECA work together as partners and reconsider
the contribution next year. She will support the motion to remove the contribution from the budget.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION TIED (3-3-1), COUNCILMEMBERS JOHNSON, BUCKSHNIS
AND TEITZEL VOTING YES; COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON AND COUNCILMEMBERS
MESAROS AND TIBBOTT VOTING NO; AND COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS
ABSTAINING.
Mayor Earling inquired whether he could vote to break the tie. City Attorney Jeff Taraday said this is a
preliminary vote on a budget that effectively will become an amendment to the budget ordinance. The
Mayor cannot vote on an ordinance, and therefore cannot vote to break the tie. Mayor Earling advised the
motion is defeated due to a tie vote.
Mr. Taraday explained this exercise is the Council’s opportunity to make amendments to Mayor Earling
proposed budget. Anything that is in the budget stays in the budget unless the Council amends it otherwise.
6. Remove Federal Lobbyist – $72,000
Council President Nelson said due to his concern with the overall rate of hiring, he called for hiring freeze
and most of his budget amendments reflect that including removing the federal lobbyist.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO REMOVE FEDERAL LOBBYIST FUNDING FOR 2019.
Councilmember Teitzel did not support removing the federal lobbyist because his efforts are related
securing long-term, scarce federal dollars for major projects including the Waterfront Connector, Highway
99 and potentially the Edmonds Marsh. He was in favor of the City having support at that level and
anticipated it would bear fruit over time.

Councilmember Tibbott agreed with Councilmember Teitzel’s comments. He reflected on meeting
Congressman Larsen this summer at Meadowdale Beach along with the Snohomish County Council and
interested citizens where Congressman Larsen described a program he has proposed in the House to provide
funds for shoreline restoration. He emailed this week Congressman Larsen’s office asking about the status
of that program and how it might affect Edmonds but has not had a response. It was his understanding that
program would be useful for restoring Meadowdale Beach as well as the Edmonds Marsh. For that reason,
he supported a federal lobbyist to inform the City what is available as well as building relationships to help
the City access those funds. He supported retaining funding in the budget for the federal lobbyist.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said although most discussions about the federal lobbyist include getting
funding for Highway 99, no funding has been obtained for Highway during the time the City has had a
federal lobbyist. She relayed a person was in critical care at Harborview after being hit crossing Highway
99 but there are no funds for improvements. She was on the hill in Washington D.C. recently speaking with
the legislative branch; most had not heard about Highway 99 from the federal lobbyist, only from their
peers. She did not think that the funding for the federal lobbyist had been put to good use for the past 4-5
years and will support the amendment to remove funding for the federal lobbyist.
Community Service/Economic Development Director Patrick Doherty said during the past three years the
City has had the lobbyist, there have been challenges including partisan politics in Washington D.C. The
takeover of the House by democrats expected in January will put the City in a better position over the next
two years to engage more successfully at the federal level. Antidotes shared with Mayor Earling from the
Washington, D.C. delegation include that emails are being responded to, and the $1.2B for the Sound
Transit extension to Lynnwood that had been frozen for over a year was released after the democratic House
majority was declared. The groundwork laid in recent years in putting projects in front of people, helping
them understand the City’s priorities, and getting Edmonds on the map will take hold with a more balanced
federal regime in Washington, D.C.
With regard to Highway 99, Mr. Dougherty explained staff has been working with the $1M forwarded from
the $10M commitment by the state to develop a transportation improvement plan with identified projects.
The lobbyist will be in a position in 2019 and beyond to make requests for Highway 99, Edmonds Marsh
and the Waterfront Connector. This is the most opportune time to have a presence in Washington, D.C.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas reminded the current administration has been in office less than two years
and the City has had a federal lobbyist for three years. Senator Patty Murry freed up the funds for Sound
Transit 3 after working on it for many months and it just happened be released after the election. She did
not want people to think that just because the democrats have taken control of the House that life will be
easy.
Councilmember Johnson said one of the problems with the federal lobbyist is he has not provided any direct
communication to the City Council. The Council met him once but have seen no products, action or
movement. While he may be advising staff and the Mayor, she found it difficult as a legislative body to
continuously pay for something when there is no evidence of its success. She was supportive of the motion
to remove funding for the federal lobbyist.
Mayor Earling said if the City is ever going to support a program, now is time to do it at the federal level.
Money is being freed up, communications are improving, and the City has been successful in obtaining
$6M from the state for the Waterfront Connector. The Port recently approved $1.5M as a funding partner
for the Waterfront Connector. It is a critical time to have federal lobbyist; if the City wants to move money,
there needs to be someone in Washington, DC. He urged the Council not to remove funds for the federal
lobbyist.

COUNCILMEMBERS JOHNSON, FRALEY-MONILLAS AND BUCKSHNIS VOTING YES; AND
COUNCILMEMBERS MESAROS, TEITZEL AND TIBBOTT VOTING NO.
Councilmember Buckshnis remarked the $72,000 for the lobbyist is within Mayor Earling’s $100,000
contract authority.
7. New DP – Add new position “City Arborist” – ($147,000)
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled she requested this last year and Parks & Recreation and Planning staff
also want an arborist. There are many instances where the City needs an arborist and instead contracts for
those services. In addition, the Urban Forest Management Plan needs someone to direct it.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO ADD A NEW POSITION “CITY ARBORIST.”
Parks & Recreation Director Carrie Hite referred to the response she, Development Services Director Shane
Hope and Public Works Director Phil Williams provided in the Council packet. In completing the materials
for Tree City USA, staff determined the City spent a total of $177,000 on tree activities in the three
departments. The City has a city arborist, Debra Dill, in the Parks Department; the City supported her
education with time and money, her certification and license costs, Ms. Dill does tree evaluations for Parks
and Public Works as needed. She is also in charge of the horticulture program and flower program; some
of her time would need to be freed up if the intent was to have her drive the goals of the UFMP. She, Ms.
Hope and Mr. Williams developed options for Council consideration; they recommend Option A which
would utilize Ms. Dill as the arborist, have her help with the street tree plan update and code updates,
backfill her position and provide funds for consultants. If that is determined not to be a workable plan during
2019, a full-time arborist could be considered in 2020.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL, TO
AMEND THE MOTION TO OPTION A.
Councilmember Johnson asked whether what percentage of Ms. Dill’s time would be as an arborist. Ms.
Hite anticipated 25% arborist and 75% flower program. Ms. Dill is compensated as a horticulturist, not an
arborist. She recommended giving Ms. Dill a step increase to act as the City’s arborist and backfill for on-
the-ground work of the horticulturist. Ms. Dill would still be in charge of planning and designing the flower
program and educating staff but planting could be backfilled with seasonal employees.
Councilmember Johnson said the request is a full-time arborist and Option A is 25%; she was dissatisfied
with that small percentage. Ms. Hite referred to an email from Ms. Hope that laid out three options that Ms.
Hope, Mr. Williams and she had developed; Option A is the leanest option which does not include hiring a
full-time arborist but using the current arborist on staff, reallocating a bit of her time to drive the goals of
the UFMP and backfilling for the flower program. Staff recommends starting slow to see what can be
accomplished with the lean option and hire a full-time arborist next year if necessary.
Councilmember Johnson referred to Ms. Hite’s suggest to upgrade Ms. Dill’s position to an arborist. Ms.
Hite answered it is a union issue, she recommends adding some incentive pay for Ms. Dill to continue as
an arborist and she should be paid more than a horticulturist.
Councilmember Johnson questioned whether 25% of her time would be enough. Councilmember Buckshnis
answered it would be a good start. She recognized Ms. Dill was an arborist and does a splendid job. She
felt this was a good option rather than hiring a full-time arborist and hoped it could be increased to 50% or
more in the future.

MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED (6-1), COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON VOTING NO.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas referred to Councilmember Buckshnis’ comment regarding the federal
lobbyist and that Mayor Earling had contract authority under $100,000. She asked if that still applied when
the Council voted against doing something. Mr. Taraday said the City Council adopts the budget at the fund
level. With respect to the General Fund, the Council is appropriating an amount of money to be spent. There
are some exceptions such as salaries which have to track what is approved in the budget; however, with
regard to the Mayors’ contracting authority, he has that authority not withstanding a specific vote that would
have potentially added more money into the General Fund for that purpose. Councilmember Fraley-
Monillas summarized Mayor Earling would have to find the $72,000.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if Mr. Taraday was confident about that; it was irrelevant if it was
under $100,000. Mr. Taraday answered yes, because the Council adopts the budget at the fund level. The
Council does not have to adopt the budget at the fund level although that has been done during the time he
has been the City Attorney. To do it differently would require budget amendments on a monthly basis.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented that could be said for anything on this list if it was under
$100,000 and he could find the money to do it. Mr. Taraday said to the extend the Council’s budget changes
add or subtract money from the General Fund and do not involve hiring new employees, the Mayor’s
contracting authority is what it is within the General Fund. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas summarized it
didn’t matter how the Council votes. Mr. Taraday agreed because of the way the Council adopts the budget.
If the Council is ever dissatisfied with the way the Mayor uses his contracting authority, the Council could
reign it in in a number of ways including, 1) taking that authority away, or 2) adopting the budget in a
different way. Because of that the Mayor has generally exercised restraint in doing as the Council directs.
8. New DP – Add increase for Court Security – ($33,000)
Councilmember Buckshnis recalled from Judge Coburn’s presentation that additional court security was
needed.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL, TO
ADD INCREASE FOR COURT SECURITY.
Council President Nelson said although he advocates a hiring freeze, his exception is public safety, so he
will support an increase for court security.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
9. Remove Five Corners Consultant - $30,000
Councilmember Buckshnis relayed the Council hoped to form a Citizen Housing Commission next year
and she preferred to get a handle on housing before moving forward with Five Corners. Ms. Hope advised
this proposal is based on Council direction to move forward at a moderate pace with planning for Five
Corners and follow up on the 2010 work that was halted while the roundabout was constructed. She
anticipated this effort would begin in late 2019.
Councilmember Johnson recalled the City used the UW Green Futures Lab to do the initial work and the
next step was developing form-based code for implementation which she had the impression was a staff-
heavy effort. She asked if the consultant would be used for form-based code. Ms. Hope answered primarily
form-based code but working in conjunction with staff. Councilmember Johnson said she has been patiently

waiting since 2010 and was concerned that opportunities for redevelopment have been lost during that time.
For example, the animal hospital locked up that quadrant. She expressed support for this item.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON,
TO REMOVE THE FIVE CORNERS CONSULTANT.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas commented this is a small amount in the grand scheme. She agreed with
Councilmember Buckshnis that there are a lot of justifiable issues in the community regarding housing and
she was not comfortable moving forward with a Five Corner’s consultant until those issues are addressed.
She supported removing the funding from the budget.

10. Remove Youth Services Coordinator - $53,717
Council President Nelson said he was supportive of the Council creating the commission but does not
support hiring a coordinator.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-
MONILLAS, TO REMOVE YOUTH SERVICES COORDINATOR FOR 2019.
Councilmember Buckshnis preferred to hire a consultant first like was done with the Tree Board and the
Diversity Commission to determine the level of staffing that is needed.
Councilmember Johnson said creative solutions could be developed for supporting the Youth Services
Commission and suggested using the Students Saving Salmon model where technical people work with the
School District to achieve common goals. She recalled when the students made a presentation to the
Council, they were concerned about bullying, sexual discrimination and other issues at the school. It seemed
the SRO working with high school students would be an ideal community liaison. She did not support hiring
a person but did support assisting the commission.
Ms. Hite referred to her response in the Council packet, recalling when the Council approved the Youth
Commission, she informed Council that staff did not have the capacity to assist this commission and she
was assured resources would be provided. After researching youth commissions in Redmond, Issaquah,
Sammamish, Seattle, and Bothell, they all have a full-time position or a 1.5 FTE. The proposed .5 FTE was
intended to start slow and small. In her experience, the youth, although they are very independent and think
they can do everything and are very ambitious, need more guidance than an adult commission. The support
for the commission is to help them understand their role, the government process, and the parameters for
advising the Council. She assured the commission will be ambitious and want to do programs. She
recommended funding a .5 FTE.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS,
TO AMEND THE MOTION TO A $30,000 BUDGET FOR A CONSULTANT.
Councilmember Mesaros agreed with Ms. Hite that some structure and guidance is needed for the
commission. He also agreed with Councilmember Buckshnis that a .5 FTE was not needed immediately.
He preferred to hire a consultant to establish the framework for what needs to be accomplished and turn
that into a .5 FTE in the future if necessary.

11. Remove Car for SRO – negotiate - $65,000
Councilmember Buckshnis explained this is the SRO for Scriber High School which is funded 50/50 with
the school district. She preferred to negotiate the cost of the car because all the other costs were negotiated.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON,
TO REMOVE CAR FOR SRO AND NEGOTIATE WITH EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT.
Chief Compaan explained the Edmonds School District proposed and the City approved immolating the
existing ILA at with the District at Edmonds-Woodway High School to place an SRO at Scriber High
School which includes a vehicle. The vehicle is already part of the ILA with Edmonds-Woodway High
School and this is proposed to be the same.
For Councilmember Teitzel, Chief Compaan explained the vehicle is important for two reasons, 1) it is a
visual deterrent at the campus, and 2) it is an important, strategic and tactical tool for the officer in case it
is needed in an emergency situation. He would not want an SRO at a school without a car. Councilmember
Teitzel asked if the SRO needed a car equivalent to an Edmonds Police officer’s car. Chief Compaan
answered yes.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if the $65,000 cost was split with the Edmonds School District.
Chief Compaan advised a capital expenditure to purchase the vehicle is proposed from existing B funds;
the City would own the vehicle. Edmonds School District has agreed to defray operation and maintenance
costs. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said it seemed like a lot of money for a vehicle for an SRO. Chief
Compaan said that’s what a police vehicle costs.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she was not saying the SRO might not need a vehicle at some point,
but 95% of the time he/she would not. Chief Compaan reiterated the vehicle is a deterrent factor.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if there were any other vehicles that hadn’t been auctioned off that
the SRO could use. Chief Compaan said there was not. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas did not support
spending $65,000 on a vehicle plus the cost of the officer.
Councilmember Mesaros relayed the current arrangement for Edmonds-Woodway High School is the City
supplies the vehicle and that has always been done for the SRO at Edmonds-Woodway High School. Now
that an SRO would be located at another high school within the City limits, it seems natural that a vehicle
would be provided. Chief Compaan agreed.
Councilmember Tibbott asked about the Scriber High School campus, the nature of the work the SRO will
do and why a vehicle would be helpful. He understood the student body at Scriber was smaller than the
other high schools in the District. Chief Compaan agreed it was a smaller student body, but the campus was
about the same size as Edmonds-Woodway High School and it was just as prone to potential issues as any
other school campus in this day and age and he felt it needed to be handled in same manner. Councilmember
Tibbott asked if other students shared the campus along with Scriber. Chief Compaan answered there were
several other learning communities on the campus. Councilmember Tibbott concluded the SRO and the
vehicle would support Scriber and the other communities on the campus.

Councilmember Johnson said she had a difficult time with the purchase of a new vehicle. She understood
the City has an ILA with Edmonds School District for Edmonds-Woodway High School for an SRO and
asked if there was an SRO at the campus now. Chief Compaan answered yes. Councilmember Johnson
asked if a new vehicle was purchased for the Edmonds-Woodway High School SRO. Chief Compaan
explained an existing vehicle was used but there are none that can be dedicated to the SRO at this time
without replacing another vehicle in the fleet. Councilmember Johnson asked if the vehicle would be rotated
through the department so it gets used. Chief Compaan said it would.
With regard to the car being an important deterrent, Councilmember Johnson recalled years ago the DARE
program used confiscated vehicles. She asked if there were any confiscated vehicle available through the
South Snohomish County Drug Task Force that could be used for this purpose. Chief Compaan answered
that task force does not exist anymore; the City joined the Snohomish County Task Force and the City does
not have direct access to vehicles.
Councilmember Johnson relayed her understanding Scriber High School was a magnet school for the entire
Edmonds School District and asked why Edmonds was footing the bill. Chief Compaan answered it was
located in Edmonds. Councilmember Johnson supported the SRO, but had a hard time funding a vehicle.
She asked how often an officer needed to use a vehicle. Chief Compaan answered it would be used on a
daily basis when the officer is at the school to drive to and from the school, meet with parents, pick up a
truant student or respond to criminal activity. He assured the vehicle would be used on a daily basis.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas clarified when the SRO program began at Edmonds-Woodway High
School, the Police Department had a vehicle so a vehicle was not purchased. Chief Compaan agreed.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas said she has five years of experience with her son at the campus which
houses the Homeschool Network, the Boys Program, and the Pre-Work Adjustment Program that serves
students with disabilities. She inquired about a former Edmonds Police officer provided security at the
campus for the past ten years. Chief Compaan said he had retired; the City had not been involved in that
arrangement. Councilmember Fraley-Monillas recalled the security officer did not carry a gun or have a
vehicle, but assisted with the programs on the campus. She said Scriber High School serves Lynnwood,
Mountlake Terrace, Edmonds and some Snohomish County students.
In the event of an emergency such as a violent confrontation or the officer had to pursue someone, Council
President Nelson asked how that would happen if the SRO did not have a vehicle. Chief Compaan answered
it would not happen; the officer would have to rely on other patrol units. From a strategical and tactical
standpoint, he recommended the officer have the tools of the trade which include a vehicle.

12. Remove Increase for PIO/Communications Specialist - $18,000
Economic Development/Community Services Director Patrick Doherty said that position is very valuable
and is becoming more so every year. The position performs a wide range of duties that include public
relations, review and creation of media releases, covering local public events, liaising with organizations
that involve the public, pitching stories to regional media, strategizing with staff on public engagement, etc.
Social media is a minor component of her overall duties. Over the past 4 years, the PIO has secured 25
incidents of live TV coverage for events, venues, restaurants, business openings, people and happenings in
Edmonds, that on its own has a value of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The request for the additional
$18,000 would allow her to work 10-15 hours/week instead of 5-10 hours/week. The cost of the contract is
commensurate with a mid-level program manager.

Councilmember Buckshnis expressed concern the consultant was paid $250/hour which is more than what
the City pays Mr. Taraday, 2500/month for 10 hours. Mr. Dougherty explained the contract was currently
5-10 hours/week and would be increased to 10-15 hours/week which is about $61/hour which with no
benefits is commensurate with a program manager.
For Councilmember Fraley-Monillas, Mr. Doherty said the current salary is $36,500/year for about 5-10
hours/week. The proposal is for the same hourly rate of about $58 plus an inflationary increase to $61. The
consultant is very dedicated and puts in whatever hours it takes; in a week with very little going on, her
hours may be as low as 5, for weeks with a lot going on, she may work 15 or more but the average is 5-10.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked how the PIO’s hours are tracked. Mr. Doherty said the contract is
an average of 5-10 hours week and may be more or less in any given week. She itemizes the work she does
during the week but does not fill out a timesheet; it is a contract and retainer for services that average 5-10
hours/week; the proposal is to increase the contract by $18,000.
Council President Nelson said to be consistent, he supports the current work the PIO/Communication
Specialist is doing but does not support increasing her workload for hiring freeze purposes.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS,
TO REMOVE INCREASE FOR PIO/COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST.
Councilmember Mesaros did not support removing the funding because he recognized the need to improve
communication. It is important to have a professional in the community industry to lead, guide, and
strategize and communication is an important element of government. This is a minor amount in the budget.
He recalled Mr. Scordino complimented the Council on their openness, yet the Council is often criticized
for not being open.

Councilmember Buckshnis said the 2018 estimate for the Council budget will be only $100,000 and she
wanted to carryover the $132,000 into 2019 to continue the Windward contract.

14. Remove Contract Project Management Support - $45,000
Councilmember Teitzel explained after substantial debate and deliberation earlier this year, the City
Council agreed to add a finance manager to Public Works. Part of the rationale was existing Public Works
personnel spend a substantial amount of time working on financial issues. The finance manager will free
up staff to work on tasks in their job description. This could be revisited next year if necessary after the
impact of the finance manager on workloads is known.
COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS, TO
REMOVE CONTRACT PROJECT MANAGEMENT SUPPORT.

Mr. Williams said staff is working to fill the finance manager position. This is project management, not
finance management. The main rationale is the capital renewal program previously had $56,600/year for
20 years. That amount was increased in 2014/205 to $100,000, then to $300,000, last year to $530,00 and
this year is $700,000 Although that is an incredible increase, it is still not a enough to bring City buildings
to a sustainable condition. The recently completed Facility Condition Index suggests there is a $5M backlog
in deferred maintenance on City buildings. Even if the $5M backlog had been addressed, the funding level
to keep them at that level is $800,000/year. When the funding level was $56,000, the facilities manager
could execute those small projects; with more investment in the buildings, the suggestion is to hire a
consultant to assist the facilities manager deliver projects to improve buildings.
Councilmember Tibbott relayed his understanding that the increased funding was projects to address
deferred maintenance. The request is $45,000 for a project manager to manage $700,000 in projects. He
asked how many years a project manager consultant would be needed. Mr. Williams said if the ongoing
commitment is $800,000/year, and there is a $5M backlog, he did not envision it would be short term. The
City could bond for a capital project to upgrade building systems but once the deferred maintenance is
accomplished, the ongoing cost of capital renewal is $800,000/year. It is difficult for the facilities manager
to manage staff as well as function as a project manager for $700,000 in capital work.
Councilmember Mesaros asked who would do the work if the funding was removed. Mr. Williams
answered funds budgeted for projects would be used to hire project management which would reduce the
number of projects that would be delivered. Councilmember Mesaros summarized not approving this
funding simply defers maintenance longer. Mr. Williams said that is one way to look at it; this work will
require someone’s time and it has to be paid for somehow. It will be either taken out of the funds allocated
for the projects or by adding funds for project management.

10. ACTION ITEMS
1. ORDINANCE RELATED TO BUSINESS LICENSE MINIMUM THRESHOLD AND
DEFINITION OF ENGAGING IN BUSINESS
City Clerk Scott Passey relayed the State legislature passed a law requiring cities with a business license to
partner with the state’s Business Licensing Service (BLS) to issue city business licenses. Edmonds will
begin partnering with the state in the second quarter of 2019. As a precursor to that partnership, Edmonds
needs to update its business code with regard to, 1) the definition of what it means to engage in business,
and 2) establish a threshold exemption that applies to out-of-town or transient businesses that do business
in Edmonds. The exemption is the amount a business makes in annual revenue to trigger the City requiring
them to have a city business license. Most cities who have established a threshold have selected
$12,000/year; some smaller cities are establishing smaller thresholds, even as low as $1,000. Staff feels
$12,000 is a reasonable threshold and it has been adopted by comparable cities such as Bothell, Kirkland,
Tukwila, University Place, and Burien. Staff recommends Council adopt the ordinance to amend the
business license code to adopt a new definition of engaging in business and establish a threshold exemption
of $12,000/year.
COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TEITZEL, TO
APPROVE ORDINANCE NO. 4135, AMENDING THE DEFINITION OF “ENGAGING IN
BUSINESS” AND ESTABLISHING A MINIMUM THRESHOLD EXEMPTION.

Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked the amount of revenue loss to the City and whether there were many
businesses that make less than $12,000/year. Mr. Passey said revenue is on a self-reporting basis. The City
has a service that tries to identify businesses that should have a license, but it is not very successful. The
benefit of partnering with the state is BLS is the Department of Revenue so they know who is doing business
in the City. When the partnership is activated, it is likely compliance will increase. The City’s business
license code will need to be revised to reflect that the state is administering the code.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked if it was primarily home businesses that make less than $12,000.
Mr. Passey answered it could be home occupations. It would be possible to have different rates for home
occupations and/or non-residents because they take less time to review because there is no land use review.
Councilmember Tibbott asked if this was related to business conducted in the City. Mr. Passey answered
yes.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
2. 2018 COUNCIL CONTINGENCY OF $10K FUNDS FOR 2019 HISTORICAL
PRESERVATION INTERNS
Development Services Director Shane Hope reported she worked on this with Councilmember Johnson,
who is on the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). The HPC would like to be more proactive in
encouraging property owners to register their property on the Registry of Historic Places. However, with
limited staff and volunteers, it was suggested hiring student interns to identify historic structures. She
emphasized it is a voluntary program to encourage historic preservation; she anticipated more people may
be interested if they knew about the program
Councilmember Johnson relayed this idea was proposed by Planning Manager Rob Chave in an effort to
get more houses on the register. Council Contingency funds would be used to hire the interns.
COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BUCKSHNIS,
TO APPROVE $10,000 FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FOR 2019 HISTORICAL
PRESERVATION INTERNS.
Councilmember Tibbott relayed his understanding these funds were from the 2018 Council Contingency.
Councilmember Johnson agreed, explaining Mr. Chave suggested advertising nationally in an effort to
attract students in a historic preservation graduate program. Councilmember Tibbott asked about student
qualifications. Councilmember Johnson envisioned graduate level students in a historic preservation
program in their first to second year.
Councilmember Teitzel supported this proposal, anticipating this could accelerate the addition of properties
to the registry and retain the character of Edmonds.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
3. HOUSING STRATEGY REVIEW
Councilmember Tibbott emphasized this is not intended for action tonight, it is a proposal that would be
brought to Council on early 2019. The purpose of the proposal is to, 1) capture the momentum of the
Housing Strategy Task Force, harness the community involvement, energy and input and make the most of
citizen input, and 2) provide via a citizen commission a process to narrow the focus of the Housing Strategy.
The proposal is being presented in 2018 because two actions may need to be taken, 1) put an amendment
to Comprehensive Plan on the 2019 docket to increase the time to develop a Housing Strategy, and 2) there

could be budget implications to ensure sufficient Council Contingency funds are available. He summarized
the intent was to form a Citizens Housing Commission whose focus in the short term would be a Housing
Strategy and in the long term, implementing actions and gathering input from citizens. The commission has
a sunset date of January 1, 2021.
Councilmember Tibbott explained the Council will provide the commission specific guidance to ensure
they have a clear mission, expected accomplishments and recommendations that will be valuable to City
Council. The selection process includes several options. He anticipated a deliberate process with a lot of
citizen input from different areas of the City. He hoped to complete a Housing Strategy in 2019 and keep
the commission intact for another year to receive additional input during implementation.
Councilmember Buckshnis said City Attorney Jeff Taraday will draft a resolution docketing an amendment
to the Comprehensive Plan to remove the implementation action, Develop a strategy by 2019 for increasing
the supply of affordable housing and meeting diverse housing needs. She said the Comprehensive Plan
already has affordable housing strategies and the draft Housing Strategy is on steroids. She preferred to get
back to basics, invite the public and allow public comment during commission meetings which has not
happened with the administration’s task force. Councilmembers will each select a citizen to serve on this
Council-driven commission.
Council President Nelson said he directed Mr. Taraday to develop a resolution to amend the Comprehensive
Plan for consideration at next Tuesday’s meeting. Council President Nelson thanked Councilmembers
Tibbott and Buckshnis for their work developing this Citizens Housing Commission. He suggested
doubling the number of Council appointees from one to two, the Mayor appointing one member, no
Planning Board member and only one Councilmember. He expressed interest in funding the public
engagement such as mailing postcard and/or doing a survey.
COUNCILMEMBER FRALEY-MONILLAS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
TEITZEL, TO EXTEND THE MEETING FOR TEN MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Fraley-Monillas asked how the Citizens Housing Commission would be blended with the
current new task force that has two meetings scheduled next week. Councilmember Tibbott explained the
intent is not to reform the task force. Ms. Hope has an advisory group that is assisting her; that was intended
to be an interim group, not long-term. He looked forward to collaborating with staff and he has ideas for
increasing communication at the Council level as well as utilizing existing commission. The intent is to
increase citizen input and develop a quality approach to implementing the Housing Element, but also a
quality vision for how housing and other city services are impacted as the population grows, as the region
grows and employment increases. grows. He was optimistic this will be a way to bring people together to
have vital conversations around this issue.
Councilmember Mesaros agreed with Council President Nelson’s suggestion to have a larger group by each
Councilmember appointing two members. The more input the better. He reminded the public that when
there is an opportunity for Councilmembers to appoint members, the opportunity to apply is publicized;
Councilmembers then review the applications and make appointments.
In response to Councilmember Fraley-Monillas’ question, Councilmember Buckshnis said the draft strategy
developed by BERT blew up. That task force went away, an advisory group was formed to advise staff.
She envisioned the Citizens Housing Commission as a visioning group that will be open to the public. This
is simply a draft to get started and docket the removal of the implementation action. The Council will create
its own commission, she liked the idea of Councilmembers appointing two members. The reason she
proposed carrying forward $90,000 into the 2019 budget was to provide funds.

Councilmember Teitzel commented this has been a very divisive issue between Council, staff, and citizens
and he hoped to get beyond that. The summary statement developed by Councilmember Buckshnis and
Councilmember Tibbott states this commission will serve that the direction of the Council and seek to
produce a Housing Strategy. He hoped it was a City Housing Strategy, not a Council Housing Strategy. His
vision was to form a citizen commission and work with staff to develop a new strategy document. He was
not interested in Council forming a citizen commission that requires hiring a consultant to create a Council
strategy. He asked if the if intent was a Council strategy or a City strategy. Councilmember Tibbott said
like any commission that produces a product, the Council offers guidance. The intent is to produce a strategy
in cooperation with City staff and the commission provide recommendations for Council consideration. He
emphasized the specifics of the commission will be discussed during a study session in 2019.
Because so many people are interested in the Housing Strategy, Councilmember Johnson suggested Ms.
Hope summarize the status of the advisory group and the trajectory of that effort. Ms. Hope said the advisory
committee is intended to be short term committee, helping her on public engagement, housing issues, etc.
It is not intended to conflict with this commission.
Councilmember Johnson was interested in some type of hierarchy for the Housing Strategy, commenting
the compendium of ideas that it started with need to be narrowed. She was interested in what could be done
in the short term and the highest priorities to ensure the commission gets work done instead of talking about
it for two years. The highest priority for her personally is the senior population. Edmonds has a lot of single
people living in homes who need different support that an emerging market in Seattle. She was less
interested in a lengthy process and was very interested in incorporating the work that has been done so far,
gathering valuable feedback from citizens and then working on housing implementation rather than just a
Housing Strategy.
COUNCILMEMBER TIBBOTT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MESAROS, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING FOR TEN MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Tibbott reiterated he brought this forward to docket the amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan and ensure there are adequate funds in the 2019 budget.
Councilmember Teitzel pointed out the first goal in the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan states,
encourage adequate housing opportunities for all families and individuals in the community regardless of
their race, age, sex, religion, disability or economic circumstances. He recommended the commission first
review the Housing Element goals and policies to ensure they are well understood.

CITY OF EDMONDS
2019 STATE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
EDMONDS PRIORITIES
Highway 99 Corridor Improvements
On the heels of the Legislature’s moving forward $1 million to the 2017-2019 from the $10
million Connecting Washington appropriation in the 2021-2023 biennium, we are making great
progress on concept design of the transportation improvements along the Corridor, including
identifying top-priority early project(s) that can move ahead to construction in the short term.
To continue this work without a gap into the next biennium, we will seek another $1 million to
be moved into the 2019-2021 biennium from the 2021-2023 biennium.
Dayton Street Pump Station
The Dayton Street Pump station will manage stormwater flows and flood overflows within the
Dayton sub-basin, as well as flows originating from the Shellabarger/Willow Creek stream
systems. The pump station is a necessary antecedent project for the Willow Creek Daylighting
project. By installing the pump station, the City will improve stormwater separation from the
Willow Creek and Edmonds Marsh system, which is beneficial to fish habitat restoration, as well
as the daylighting and overall marsh restoration projects. In addition, this pump station will
dramatically reduce the frequency, duration, and magnitude of flooding in the ferry holding
lanes for the Edmonds-Kingston ferry.
For this project we will seek a $500,000 capital appropriation.

Funding for Edmonds Street Waterfront Connector
Following completion of Phase I of this project – the Alternatives Analysis and selection of a
preferred alternative, the Legislature appropriated $700,000 in 2017 to match our local
contributions of $290,000, for a total of $990,000, which has allowed us to launch Phase II –
Concept Design, Environmental and Permitting. We are midway into the Phase II process and
have identified and secured City Council approval of a final streamlined and cost-efficient
schematic design. Upon completion of Phase II, scheduled for mid-2019, we will be optimally
positioned for federal matching funds to complete design documents and begin construction of
this approximately $27.5 million project. The maximum amount available from federal grant
programs (such as INFRA or TIGER grants) is 80% (approximately $22M). The Legislature’s
commitment last Session of $6M in the 2020-2022 biennium is a great foundation for seeking
such federal funds.
To continue seamless progress on completion of design work next year, we will request
forwarding to the first half of 2019 approximately $1 million from the Legislature’s $6M 2020-
2022 funding commitment. We may also seek an additional State funding commitment of up to
$2M that would help make our federal grant requests even more competitive.
Funding for Civic Park Development
The City of Edmonds has a unique and legacy-generating opportunity to develop 8 acres in
downtown Edmonds into a signature park. This will be the focal point of the community,
supporting larger events and community gathering areas. It also will provide for active
recreation for all ages. The total cost of this redevelopment is $10-12M. The City is in the
process of applying for private funds and has also applied for RCO funds to help support this
effort. The City scored very well in the grants for Local Parks and Youth Athletic Fields. The one
grant that is more tentative is the Land and Water Conservation Fund because of the limited
federal support for these funds. It would be helpful if the State could consider additional
support to assist in this effort.
The City’s request is for a $500,000 direct appropriation in this budget year.
Parks, Recreation and Conservation-Related Projects
The City of Edmonds urges the Governor and the State Legislature to adopt a 2019-21 Capital
Budget that includes these recommendations from the Recreation and Conservation Funding
Board (RCFB):
• $130 million for the Washington Wildlife & Recreation Program (WWRP)
• $12 million for the Youth Athletic Facilities program (YAF), and
• $6.6 million for the Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account.
5.1.a
Packet Pg. 146 Attachment: Final DRAFT 2019 legislative agenda (2019 Legislative Agenda)
2019 Edmonds Legislative Agenda
Page 3 of 7
The City will continue to seek State funding to help with the restoration of the Edmonds Marsh
as well as the associated daylighting of Willow Creek.
Fire Alarm Testing
Seek amendment of WAC 51-50-097. This rule was recently modified to stipulate that required
annual fire alarm testing can only be performed by NICET II-certified technicians. This, in effect,
disqualifies licensed electricians from being able to conduct these tests unless they are, or have
in the past, worked full-time in the fire alarm industry. This rule needs to be amended to allow
organizations that have employees with State electrical 01 or 07 licenses to be able to conduct
fire alarm testing and fire alarm maintenance in buildings owned by their employer.
Invest in Funding to Support Services that Address Homelessness and Affordable Housing
Support efforts to:
• Fully Fund Housing Trust Fund. Provide at least $200 million for the Housing Trust Fund.
• Amend the Washington Condominium Act (WCA) regarding developer liability
provisions, legal review standards, and resulting insurance requirements, etc., in an
effort to stimulate greater condominium development to increase the supply of an
important, affordable, home-ownership option.
• Extend the initial two-year program for homeless housing solutions using REET funds to
2022.
SUPPORT ITEMS
Support Edmonds Senior/Community Center Funding
The City of Edmonds will support efforts by the Edmonds Senior Center to secure funding for
the redevelopment of their important community facility on the Edmonds Waterfront, to be
renamed the Edmonds Waterfront Center. Confirming with Farrell Fleming
Bolster Resources for Infrastructure Investment
Support efforts to establish dedicated funding mechanisms for critical public works
(transportation, utilities, stormwater, parks, etc.) infrastructure programs that help cities grow
and prosper, including reinvestment of Public Works Trust Fund loan repayment funds as well
as WRPA parks infrastructure funds. All creative, statewide approaches and/or incentives for
local infrastructure funding should also be considered.
5.1.a
Packet Pg. 147 Attachment: Final DRAFT 2019 legislative agenda (2019 Legislative Agenda)
2019 Edmonds Legislative Agenda
Page 4 of 7
In addition, join Snohomish County officials in advocating for additional funding for projects in
the Multimodal Transportation 30-year Plan that remain unfunded.
Criminal Justice Training
Support AWC and others as they propose legislation to continue to fully fund the Basic Law
Enforcement Academy to include dedicating all revenue from the Public Safety and Education
assessment to criminal justice training.
Public Health District Funding
Public Health Districts provide invaluable services to local communities around the State, yet
lack a secure funding mechanism. Edmonds supports the Foundation Public Health Services
(FPHS) proposal, promoted by local health districts, the Washington State Association of
Counties, and other partners intended to provide a reliable, sustainable funding mechanism for
local public heal districts, enabled by State legislation.
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. Also work to clarify that “permanent” locally
approved levies remain at the voter-approved level, not reduced as Assessed Valuation rises.
Creative District funding
Support requests on the part of the Washington State Arts Commission for administrative,
project and grants funding for the new Creative District program.
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.
Gun Violence Reduction
Support efforts for legislation addressing the reduction of gun violence, especially related to
semiautomatic weapons and use of high-capacity magazines.
Fiscal Impacts of Legislation and Rulemaking
Follow the lead of AWC and other municipalities in sending a clear message to the Legislature
to consider the fiscal impacts of legislation and rulemaking on local municipalities, including a
check on “unfunded mandates” and “do no harm” analysis of proposed 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
5.1.a
Packet Pg. 148 Attachment: Final DRAFT 2019 legislative agenda (2019 Legislative Agenda)
2019 Edmonds Legislative Agenda
Page 5 of 7
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/inflation.
Land Use Law Review (Growth Management Act, SEPA, annexation laws, et. al.)
In 2017, the legislature authorized funding for the Ruckelshaus Center to do a 2-year study and
make recommendations for improving/consolidating/streamlining the myriad of state land use
laws, including GMA, SEPA, annexation, water rights, and others. Depending on the study’s
outcome, this could affect cities’ interest in protecting the environment, providing
infrastructure, and reducing sprawl. We need to closely follow or participate in the discussion.
In addition, during the interim, we should generally oppose changes to the GMA and other
state land use laws so that the Center can do its work in a more comprehensive way and come
up with a framework that will address the overall needs in a sustainable way.
Economic Development Tools
Support efforts and proposals from Economic Alliance of Snohomish County, other State
economic development agencies, AWC and others to broaden the array of tools and incentives
available to encourage and support sustainable economic development and investment,
particularly in under-developed urban areas, to provide jobs, housing and meet GMA goals for
sustainable development.
Fiscal Sustainability for Local Governments
Continue to support efforts to ensure sufficient, stable and flexible revenue for essential city
services, including equitable distribution from shared revenue sources, such as liquor and
marijuana taxes.
Environmental and Climate-Related Issues
Monitor and potential support potential environmental-protection measures, including those
that would enhance the Puget Sound ecosystem, including the impacts of coal and oil trains,
drought management, toxics control and clean-up, as well as measures associated with climate
change, crumb rubber athletic field infill, remediation of culverts under state highways, etc.
Puget Sound Health and Salmon/Orca Recovery
Support WRIA 8, together with other organizations and municipalities in pursuing the following
measures and funding from the Legislature:
RCO Budget. Support:
• Salmon Recovery Funding Board
• Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration
• Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program
• Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account
5.1.a

and management of predation, disease, and other issues that affect WRIA 8 salmon
populations
• Track and support legislation that seeks to improve regulatory protections for areas that
are important for salmon habitat
• Support and explore opportunities to engage in developing legislation that seeks to
provide immunity from liability for entities that implement habitat restoration projects
involving the placement of large wood
• Track and participate in continued efforts to explore new watershed-based and/or
regional funding authorities to support multiple-benefit projects that address salmon
habitat protection and restoration, water quality, stormwater management, and flood
management
Expand Access to Opiate Overdose Prevention and Medication-Assisted Treatment
Join Snohomish County, other Counties and Cities, to support efforts that:
• Expand access to overdose prevention drugs (such as Naloxone)
• Increase medication-assisted treatment through increased access to Suboxone and
Methadone.
• Support statewide drug take-back programs that honor local control.
• Expansion of treatment facilities.
Advocate for Key “Healthy & Active Communities” Funding within the State Budget Process
(Capital, Transportation, Operating Budgets) As part of its ongoing “Healthy and Active
Communities” initiative begun several years ago, the City of Edmonds supports the work to
ensure adequate funding of grant programs and budgetary items that help youth and adults
5.1.a
Packet Pg. 150 Attachment: Final DRAFT 2019 legislative agenda (2019 Legislative Agenda)
2019 Edmonds Legislative Agenda
Page 7 of 7
to live active and healthy lifestyles; enhance public health; and combat a growing obesity trend
in Washington and across the country. Key budgetary items include:
• Public Health District and “Healthiest Next Generation” funding -- Operating Budget;
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Grant, Safe Routes to Schools, and “Complete Streets” funding in
the Transportation Budget;
• Dedicated accounts and grant programs in the Capital Budget such as WWRP, YAF, ALEA,
NOVA, BFP.
Provide Local Parks and Recreation Agencies with new Funding Options to Address Vital M&O
and Preservation Needs and to Enhance Economic Development
Parks and recreation are highly valued by the public as they offer activities that help maintain
physical health and well-being; protect open spaces and facilities that make our communities
attractive and vibrant; provide trail networks that connect our communities, and add market
value to homes and neighborhoods. Just as importantly, local parks and recreation programs
enhance jobs-creation and economic development efforts. Investment in local parks and has
lagged behind while a WRPA survey of parks agencies has shown a growing M&O deficit and
backlog. The City of Edmonds supports WRPA’s initiatives to work with key lawmakers on a
package of new funding tools for local parks and recreation and urges adoption of a “local
options” menu in 2019.
Follow/Support Other Cities’, Agencies’, Partners’ Agendas
Monitor and provide support to our partner cities, agencies and other entities in their top
agenda items, where they align with our interests.

Approval of Change Order for the Five Corners Reservoir Recoating Project
Staff Lead: Rob English
Department: Engineering
Preparer: Megan Luttrell
Background/History
On March 6, 2018, Council awarded a $2,822,374.05 contract for the Five Corners Reservoir Recoating
Project to Redside Construction and authorized a 10% management reserve for changes and unforeseen
conditions.
On October 9, 2018, Staff provided a project update to the Public Works Committee regarding additional
repairs to the 1.5MG Reservoir.
Staff Recommendation
1). Authorize the Mayor to sign a contract change order not to exceed $212,000 (with tax) for corrosion
pit repair and associated painting repair.
2). Authorize an additional $370,525 in management reserve funds for preventive maintenance on the
3.0MG tank and unforeseen conditions.
Narrative
The City's Contractor for the Five Corners Reservoir Recoating Project discovered extensive areas of
corrosion pitting on the interior walls of the 1.5 MG tank after sandblasting operations were completed.
A total of 1470 corrosion pits met the minimum 1/8 inch” deep repair criteria as determined by
Peterson Structural Engineers, the City's structural engineer for the project. A total quantity of fifty
repairs at $70 apiece was listed in the bid schedule under Unforeseen Corrosion Pit Repair. The
contractor will be compensated at this unit price for the first 700 repairs and has agreed to reduce the
unit price for 770 additional repairs to $48 apiece. Heat from welding during corrosion pit repairs
unavoidably damaged the prime coat on the internal wall of the tank and the finish coat on the external
wall of the tank. The contractor submitted cost proposals not to exceed $42,183 for repairing the
interior prime coat and $47,143 for repairing the exterior prime coat. Also, a cost proposal not to exceed
$14,058 was submitted for additional overhead costs for rental of the compressor, dehumidifier,
scaffolding, scissor lifts, job trailer and other miscellaneous items during the corrosion pit repairs. The
City is in the process of reviewing the cost breakdowns for the extra re-painting work and an agreement
with the contractor has not been reached on the proposed pricing. A minor cost to repair areas of
corrosion pits on the tank columns was determined by force account. The preliminary estimate for
Change Order #5 is $212,000 including tax.
An increase in Management Reserve is requested to cover Change Order #5 and $152,000 in extra work
on the 1.5MG tank and related site improvements. Change order work includes modifications to the
7.1
Packet Pg. 152
roof framing on the 1.5 MG tank due to pre-existing corrosion, repair of steel delaminations on the
exterior walls of the 1.5 MG tank, modifications to the reservoir fall prevention systems, rerouting the
1.5 MG tank overflow line to avoid conflicts with existing electrical conduits, the previously described
corrosion pit repairs on the interior walls of the 1.5 MG tank and other minor items.
An estimated $265,000 may be required to seal weld the roof of the 3.0 MG tank to prevent crevice
corrosion along roof plate lap splices and along the interface between roof plates and rafters. A
condition assessment will be made after the tank is drained and the interior roof and plates can be
inspected.
The construction management team has performed extra work to address the corrosion and structural
issues in the 1.5MG tank. The revised budget includes additional funding to pay for the increased
construction management effort on the project.

Council Proposed 2019 Budget Amendments
1
Request # Proposed budget amendments from Councilmember Fraley-Monillas: Councilmember Description 1) I am requesting a reduction in the 2019 Edmonds budgeted donation to Health District from 1 Dollar per capita to .50 per capita. The Health District is requesting funding from Washington State Sources and I am requesting that Edmonds provide .50 per citizen at least until June 2019. If funding is not secured from State of Washington, I will request the other .50 per capita in June of 2019.
Administration Response: While the Snohomish Health District, together with other Health Districts around the State, will be pursuing a major initiative in the 2019 Legislative Session, dubbed “Foundation Public Health Services” (FPHS), together with a $295 million/biennium funding commitment, it is far from certain that this initiative will be approved and funded as requested. For this reason, we believe it is prudent to keep the City’s funding commitment at $1/capita. If State
funding is secured, we can modify our commitment in the future.
Request #
Proposed budget amendments from Councilmember Buckshnis:
Councilmember Description
1) City Council Contingency non-departmental #39 of $93,740 to be transfer to City Council
Contingency Dept 11 like amount (carry-forward). Administration Response: This is the remaining balance of a $250,000 Council contingency one-time allocation Mayor included in his 2018 budget. The Proposed 2019 Budget has this $93,740 lapsing at the end of 2018. 2) DP #60 Tree Board Minutes of $1,500 remove (voted to remove by Tree Board)
Administration Response: Having a minute-taker for the Tree Board (DP # 60) was originally proposed by the City because the Board had gotten behind on providing its minutes and sometimes did not include budget decisions, etc., which would have been helpful for the record. However, the Tree Board is now caught up on their minutes and has voted against having the City fund the professional services of a minute-taker for their meetings. The City administration hopes for a
smooth future process and is comfortable with removing this item from the 2019 budget. 3) 3) New DP ADD $1,000 for Supplies in Tree Board Budget for brochures, trees, etc. Rational: the Tree Board will have two brochures in 2019 (Small Tree Brochure under final edits to be added to “Before you Grab the Chainsaw” that are distributed at various events. 2019 will be the Tree Board’s third year participating in Saturday Market and as part of the event, saplings are given
away hourly supporting right tree, right place educational process. Lastly, Tree Board assists Parks and Recreation with Arbor Tree purchases. Administration Response: The City administration is supportive of having $1,000 in additional funds for the Tree Board to do the things mentioned in Councilmember Buckshnis’ request (supplies for brochures and Tree Board events and for purchasing trees for Arbor Day or other events).
4) DP #96 Remove a $75K operating revenue for ECA operating suggested by Council Member Mesaros during Council deliberations (4-3 vote). Rationale: See Memo to Council on night of the PFD bank loan collateralized by City CDs. Maureen can supply anyone with the memo so I don’t have to go into details and reasoning. Administration Response: The Administration supports this contribution to the ECA.
5) DP #47 remove Federal Lobbyist. Rationale: Current federal government is in flux and after two year - no progress noted in any areas for Edmonds. Administration Response: With the recent take-over by the Democrats of the House of Representatives, the next two years will be a prime opportunity for us to engage even more

successfully at the federal level. We are told that even since the election this month, Democratic
members of Congress and their staff are now receiving more regular responses to their inquiries of
the Administration and engaging in more direct discussion on key items, including funding projects. In fact, just this week, the Trump Administration released news that $1.2 billion in funding was approved for the Sound Transit Lynnwood connection – a commitment that was previously stalled. It will be important for us to redouble our efforts over the next two years to seek grant funding for key
Edmonds projects, such as Highway 99, the Edmonds Marsh and the Edmonds Street Waterfront
Connector – during a time when more support in Congress will exist. 6) Add new DP using that $75K (#3) and $72K for a “City Arborist” position to assist in managing the Urban Forest Management Program and many other issues relating to hazardous trees, street trees, etc. It is time for this City to have an Arborist as Parks and Rec, Public Works and Permitting could
all use help in-house. Director Hope provided this option in recent email to CC.
Administration Response: At the request of Council, staff recently provided three options for Council considerations for management of trees within the City. Some of the tasks on the task list are already covered by current employees. As a demonstration, when putting together the financials for the Tree City USA application, there is $177,300 documented as spent on trees and tree activities
in 2018: Public Works = $81,451, Planning = $20,030, and Parks = $75,823. It is recommended that
Council consider Option A, or the lean option. This would realign duties from our existing arborist, identifying her as the City’s lead arborist. Parks would have to backfill for the flower program. This option would also allow for consultants to assist as needed. This option would help staff to mobilize and begin work on the UFMP. The total cost would be $15,000 - $20,000.
7) New DP - Judge Coburn’s request for security for Court System that was rejected by Mayor. I don’t
amount handy but copied her on this email - so please get the information from her. Administration Response: The Administration supports this addition to the 2019 Budget. 8) Remove DP #58 $30,000 - Five Corners consultant. Rationale: let’s get a handle on land use and housing first.
Administration Response: The original proposal called for $30,000 in professional assistance to
follow up on the 5 Corners planning work that had been started several years ago. The proposal is consistent with the direction provided by Council at its April 3, 2018 meeting to move forward at a moderate pace with taking up the 5 Corners work. The administration had assumed starting this project near the end of 2019; but waiting a little longer is acceptable too.
9) Cut #65 DP $53,717 and use a consultant for the youth commission (budget amendment can occur
once Consultant selected) to determine the FTE. Rationale: Like all other newly formed Commissions, why not see exactly how much time maybe needed for this process or if there is another source that can be utilized in a different department. In this regard, the City doesn’t hire an employee (with benefits) based on no knowledge of workload.
Administration Response: The preferred option would be to begin the commission with a .5FTE,
and not have to go through too many transitions. This commission is anticipated to need more guidance and oversight than other commissions. Although it likely will be seated with very capable and competent youth, just like with all teenagers, they may need more guidance than an adult commission. In addition, in order to retain engaged youth, the commission will need to be staffed
and poised to be proactive, take action and help the youth focus their energy on accomplishments for
the betterment of the city. At the very least, if Council opts to delete this from the budget, it would be essential to build some funds in for a consultant to work with the Youth Commission. Currently, we have limited staff capacity to take this on permanently unless we have assistance. 10) Cut DP #77 by $65K for the SRO Car.

Rationale: This should also be negotiated as was salary.
Administration Response: (1) A patrol vehicle is already part of the existing ILA we have with the
Edmonds School District for the Edmonds-Woodway SRO. The school district per the ILA pays 50% of the operational cost of the vehicle at the rate of $2,000 per year. The Decision Package before Council for the second SRO (to be assigned at Scriber HS) contemplates the same terms and conditions as the present ILA.
(2) An assigned patrol vehicle is an important part of the visual deterrent at the school, as well as
providing faster emergency response by the SRO if he/she needs to utilize a vehicle. (3) Purchase of this vehicle would come from existing “B Funds” carried over from the current year. 11) DP#49 $18,000 PIO/COM Specialists - seems very expensive as an hourly rate for social media and seems like a lot of hours for Facebook and Twitter feeds and assisting the Mayor. I would suggest
this be brought through PSP committee in 2019 so we can understand the exact hourly use of time
and for what means of media. Administration Response: The Public Information Office/Communications Specialist performs a wide range of duties that include public relations, review and/or creation of media releases, covering local public events, liaising with organizations that involve the public, pitching stories to regional
media, strategizing with staff on public engagement, etc. Social media engagement is a minor
component of this position’s duties. Over the past 4 years the PIO has secured 25 incidents of live TV coverage for events, venues, restaurants, businesses, people, etc., in Edmonds – a commodity that would surpass many hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising value for our community alone. The request for an additional $18,000 would allow her to work up to 15 hours/week (780
hours/year), which is about 5 hours/week more, to support the City. This reflects both her increasing
workload and the increasing number and scope of opportunities for public communication and involvement, PLUS an added focus to her scope of services to work on proactive public engagement regarding "hot topics" of the day - in support of various issues, initiatives, projects from the various departments. The contract for this position is not based directly on hours worked, as PR/media
needs vary widely from week to week. The average is 5-10 hours/week, but can be higher. The
request is to allow 10-15 hours/week (possibly higher). 12) I already requested leaving only $100K in the City Council’s professional services 2018 and moving the remaining funds (approx $132K) forward into the 2019 budget. Administration Response: If professional service expenses are complete for 2018, amend the
Proposed 2019 Budget for the unexpended budget. Otherwise, include this request in the City’s
“2018 Carryfoward” budget amendment scheduled for February 2019. 13) DP #111 Reduce by $1MM and utilize money to create new DP for $1MM to fund Marsh (017). Rationale: Council needs to be proactive on the Mash Restoration and show that THIS IS ONE of OUR priorities. Do I even need to go into any justification? WRIA8 has been so eye-opening to me
in terms of how large expensive projects can and do get completed with the support of local
government. Because of the unfortunately sad summer surrounding our Orcas, it is all about Salmon Recovery and Orca Recovery. The Governor created a task force fast-tracking Orca Recovery and let RISE to that occasion...there are huge amounts of dollars available. Our pocket estuary would be a highly desirable destination as there are very few “inlets” for salmon to migrate and/or spawn along
our Puget Sound Coast from Seattle to Everett because of BNSF. Meadowdale Beach Park has now
became WRIA8’s priority because Edmonds has been waiting for the WSDOT transfer. Now, that we know it is happening in 2019; let’s be proactive about our environment. I don’t need to be a scientist to tell you the importance of salt water marshes in terms of carbon sequestration as well as sea level rise. Personally, I would take the entire $3MM or even the $2MM in the General Fund for
7.2.b

Council Proposed 2019 Budget Amendments

Civic Field - but I think $1MM will show enough reasoning to support any large request we send it
through the WRIA8 granting vehicle.
Administration Response: The funding to support DP111 (Waterfront Connector) comes from $6,000,000 in transportation funding appropriated by the State Legislature in 2018. This funding could not be used for restoring the Edmonds Marsh or any other CIP/CFP project.
We do, however, share your enthusiasm for pursuing improvements to restore the environmental
functions historically provided by the Marsh. We have been working with WSDOT to negotiate a “landowner’s agreement” that would allow us to seek funding from the Salmon Recovery Funding Board for detailed design and construction of the Willow Creek Daylighting project. WSDOT recently released a draft Long-Range Ferry plan that removed all specific references to Edmonds
Crossing and substituted language that commits them to work with the local community (Edmonds)
to develop a long term approach. In the interim they wish to pursue some shorter term improvements to the existing downtown ferry location. This opens the door for Edmonds to seek approval of the landowner’s agreement to cross what will then be WSDOT property with a daylighted Willow Creek. The future ownership/status of this property can then be resolved at a later date. This is the
path forward for this project. We agree this project can be and will be fundable as soon as the
property transfers to WSDOT (early to mid-2019) and a landowner’s agreement is executed.
Request # Proposed budget amendments from Councilmember Teitzel: Councilmember Description
1) DP 3: Remove this $45k request for contracted service. Rationale: After considerable deliberation, Council approved funding for a full time, in-house Finance Manager to de-load Public Works personnel from focusing on financial issues and to free up time to focus on executing projects. Before we invest in incremental contracted services, let's assess the degree of beneficial effects of the new Finance Manager position on operations.
Administration Response: In recent years the Council has supported increased funding for our buildings. We had $530,000 in 2018 to spend on this work and have requested $700,000 for 2019. Both of these numbers need to be compared with the $56,600/year that was budgeted every year for the 20 years prior to 2015. This is a big improvement but well short of the amount calculated by our consultant who recently completed a thorough review of our buildings and mechanical, electrical,
and plumbing systems. Our Facilities Manager used to be able to manage the few, small projects we did each year by himself as part of his regular duties. With the order of magnitude increase in funding support that is now too much for the Manager to do himself. We are asking to be able to hire a part-time or contracted Project Manager to assist the Facilities Manager in delivering these important projects on time, providing appropriate documentation, working with selected contractors,
and doing inspection as necessary. The Engineering Division can occasionally help out on some projects but they do not have the capacity to do so on most facility projects. 2) DP 53: Remove this $22k request for funding of the updated National Citizens Survey (NCS) from the 2019 budget and defer it until 2020. Rationale: Council agreed 2016 the NCS survey should be updated every three to four years. That
means completing the survey in 2020 would comply with Council's directive. The 2019 budget is loaded with a significant number of one-time expenses, and discretionary expenses such as the NCS survey update can easily be deferred to reduce budget pressure. Administration Response: While the Council agreed to conduct another survey within the 3- to 4-year timeframe, which would mean 2019 or 2020, it seems prudent to utilize ending fund balance

monies from this year, which we know and can count on, to pursue this important informational
public engagement exercise, rather than assume we will feel confident that 2019 ending fund balance
will allow for this expenditure in 2020. 3) DP 104: Modify this decision package to reflect relocation of the Admiral Way crosswalk from the confluence of Dayton and Admiral to a location approximately 100 yards to the south on Admiral, reducing the project cost from $110k to $40k.
Rationale: the revised crosswalk location will address the Port of Edmonds' long-standing request to
the city for a crosswalk to enable pedestrians to safely and legally cross Admiral Way to access the popular waterfront boardwalk, restaurants, fishing pier, yacht club, etc. The originally-planned crosswalk location required significant concrete work, additional lighting, pedestrian landings, etc. to make the crossing safe in light of limited sight distances. The revised location will accommodate
safe pedestrian crossing, has greater visibility and is far less complex/costly to engineer.
Administration Response: Agreed. We have worked with both Councilmembers Teitzel and Tibbott on this issue as they both served as liaisons to the Port District during the time these discussions were took place. We agree with this amendment as a more practical approach to the first location suggested by the Port.
4) Finally, it's not clear to me how the budget fully addresses the city's coverage of costs for the
Waterfront Center parking lot and frontage improvements. Decision Package 126 addresses some, but not all, of those projected costs. The revised Waterfront Center land use agreement is on the Council agenda for this evening. If Council agrees to proceed with the revised agreement, that will mean it is our intent that the city will assume 100% of these costs. If so, DP 126 will need to be
revised accordingly.
Administration Response:
Request # Proposed budget amendments from Councilmember Nelson: Councilmember Description 1) Remove DP #3 - Contract Project Management Support - $45,000 Administration Response: See response to Teitzel amendment #1 above. 2) Remove DP # 48 - Creative District Support - $10,000 Administration Response: We are still awaiting final information related to our Creative District
designation application. We have proposed an ambitious five-year program of enhancements, public engagement, marketing, education and project execution to pursue, which especially in the first year, will very likely require additional, contracted staff support. We want to make sure that, if chosen as Washington State’s first Creative District, Edmonds steps up to the challenge in a robust and dedicated manner to ensure successful implementation of our program and to live up to our potential
first-ever designation. 3) Remove DP #58 – Five Corners Consultant - $30,000 Administration Response: See response to Councilmember Buckshnis #8 above. 4) Remove DP #12 - Sidewalk Crew - $323,294
Administration Response: The second highest priority established by City Council at its budget
retreat was “Pedestrian Safety”. Following the retreat, and in response to it, this item was discussed with the Council’s Public Works Committee and presented in the departmental budget summary on
1) DP #126 - $250,000 for Waterfront Center $250,000

10/16. It is specifically designed to respond to the stated council priority of Pedestrian Safety by
building missing sidewalk segments where doing so will complete a longer run of sidewalk, building
ADA compliant curb ramps, and building new sidewalks where appropriate. We have identified a backlog of $175 million in this type of work within the City limits of Edmonds (ADA Study 2017). Doing it in house will save at least 50% on the cost of this work. Put another way we can do twice as much flatwork for the same capital investment. We would recommend keeping this item in the
budget. Reducing the amount is not possible logistically. It should either be funded fully or cut.
5) Remove DP # 47 - Federal lobbyist - $72,000 Administration Response: See response to Councilmember Buckshnis #5 above. 6) Remove DP #49 - Increase PIO/Comm Specialist - $18,000 Administration Response: The Public Information Office/Communications Specialist performs a
wide range of duties that include public relations, review and/or creation of media releases, covering
local public events, liaising with organizations that involve the public, pitching stories to regional media, strategizing with staff on public engagement, etc. Social media engagement is a minor component of this position’s duties. Over the past 4 years the PIO has secured 25 incidents of live TV coverage for events, venues, restaurants, businesses, people, etc., in Edmonds – a commodity
that would surpass many hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising value for our community

This reflects both her increasing workload and the increasing number and scope of opportunities for public communication and involvement, PLUS an added focus to her scope of services to work on proactive public engagement
regarding "hot topics" of the day - in support of various issues, initiatives, projects from the various
departments. The contract for this position is not based directly on hours worked, as PR/media needs vary widely from week to week. The average is 5-10 hours/week, but can be higher. The request is to allow 10-15 hours/week (possibly higher). Below is a list of tasks accomplished to date:

7) Remove DP #50 - Diversity Commission Support Staff - $$20,000
Administration Response: The current staff support for the Diversity Commission consists of 5 hours per month of contracted staff in addition to support from the Community Services Director and Coordinator positions. In order to provide more reliable, dedicated support to the Diversity Commission, a modest commitment (approx. 40 hours per month) of dedicated, contracted staff would be in order. The current 5 hours per month is not sufficient to assign any substantive work to,
and the Director and Coordinator work in administrative support to the Commission as their schedules allow among their other primary duties. This staff support request would provide dedicated support to the Commission and its various programs, activities and events 8) Remove DP #65 - .5 FTE Youth Services Coordinator - $53,717 Administration Response: See response to Councilmember Buckshnis #9 above.
9) Remove DP #71 - Safety & Risk disaster Coordinator - $85,567 Administration Response: Safety & Risk/Disaster Coordinator position (full-time, exempt)- change from part-time, .50 status to 1.0 full-time equivalent status with additional duties and an additional $100,000 in funding for benefits costs. Additional duties and to provide a market-competitive salary. $20,000 already funded as an ongoing cost. Change to NR- 10 wage range ($71,092 - $95,270
annually). This, new blended, upgraded (exempt) position would provide assistance to the City as a Safety Officer with Disaster Coordinator duties. The position would serve as a 75% FTE in Safety (30 hours per week) and 25% as a Disaster Coordinator (10 hours per week). While not guaranteed, any Stay At Work (SAW) funds that HR receives through the year (approximately $5-10,000) are also used to fund the City's safety program costs.
The City launched the updated Accident Prevention Program (APP) in the fall of 2015 as required under the Washington Administrative Code (WAC 296-800-140) as well as WISHA/OSHA regulations and the City has continued training since then. The APP provides documentation of the organization's written safety policies and the procedures for working safely including when working
with workplace hazards. Safety violations are very expensive, furthermore, injuries have a considerably negative impact to morale, employee heath and productivity (not to mention costs associated with serious injuries). Safety non-compliance of the OSHA/WISHA/WAC regulations through a random inspection by L & I can result in willful or serious violations monetary penalties
and citations as well. The City's APP program has oversight (monitoring), training and compliance
requirements as noted under the WAC/WISHA/OSHA regulations that need to be implemented that will require someone with the special safety expertise that we do not currently have at the City.

The City has been unable to fill for the part-time (.50 FTE) Safety & Risk Coordinator position; a
higher level of pay for the responsibilities, experience and potential professional risk inherent in the
position (professional liability) is needed in order to be the most competitive recruitment. At this time, the City has been retaining the services of a consultant as needed to assist with these services on a temporary basis and it has been difficult to find a consultant with public sector expertise within the budget of $20,000 to meet the City’s training and compliance needs. For example, the WWTP
and the Police Department both have specific safety plans in addition to the City’s Safety plan. This
position also has the potential to help save quite a bit in worker’s compensation premium costs to the City, which could be thousands of dollars per year based on the number of accidents, medical costs associated with these accidents and time loss.
The City is also seeking assistance with some of the more complex administrative duties related to
the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) program specific to disaster coordination and emergency preparedness and compliance. The Police Department currently has a limited capacity to perform these duties with current staffing (which makes it very difficult). Prior to 2010, the Fire Department handled the EOC and Disaster Coordinator duties, but after the transition to the district, these
responsibilities defaulted to the Police Department. The Disaster Coordinator coordinates with
many departments and serves a critical role in the City. This position will be responsible for training, working with volunteer groups within the City and other agencies, maintaining the City's comprehensive emergency management plan, EOC readiness, issuing disaster supplies, EOC exercises, etc. This is another area of risk that will be mitigated by having a subject matter expert
(SME) performing these duties. There are several cities that have stand- alone Safety Officers and
Emergency Management Coordinators. In consideration of the need and the budget, the idea is to combine forces, similar to models other cities (such as Tacoma) have that include EOC duties within the Safety position. 10) Remove DP #59 - Professional Services Consultant - $10,000
Administration Response: Removal of the professional services assistance for building plan review
is problematic. The Building Division only has $20,000 in its base budget for building plan review. Every year, the Development Services Department has had to come back to the Council for a budget amendment to do the necessary level of building plan review. (Note: Building plan review is contracted out only for the most complex projects, such as institutions and other large development,
not single-family houses). In three out of the last four calendar years, expenditures for consultant
review have far exceeded the base budget amount of $20,000, resulting in mid-year amendments to the approved budget. In looking at the construction projects that are likely to need consultant review in 2019, it is very likely that the City will need to spend more than $20,000 in this category, including for the Waterfront Center, the Graphite Art Studios, and other projects.) The resulting
revenues from even two or three major projects more than covers the additional costs of consultant
review. 11) Remove DP #88 - Tableau Software - $28,250 Administration Response: The addition of Tableau software will accomplish two important goals for the Finance Dept.: (1) Efficiency: By leveraging technology, staff will save work time in
assembling and arranging financial data in ways that are easily read and understood, similar to how
data is captured and presented in the “Citizen’s Report or PAFR. (2) Accountability: Through access to data that easily accessed, read and understood, transparency and accountability will increase. City examples:

City of Shoreline - their IT/GIS analyst is using Tableau to report on their asset management data
and work plan data city-wide, they’re developing specifically reports on homeless encampments, and
work ticket orders and status for development projects in the city – people seeing it ranges from City Manager, City Asset Manager, and department Directors City of Redmond – they are evaluating Tableau now and are presenting it throughout the Planning team before a purchase in the next month – projects they’re working on: Long-range planning - they
are doing a lot of demographics and data analysis requests that they use when they get policy
questions, housing affordability data and mapping this data, ie. comparing housing stock and see if it's keeping pace w/their demographic info – housing size, type, built, land values 12) Remove DP #53 - National Citizen Survey - $22,000 Administration Response: See response to Councilmember Teitzel #2 above.
13) Remove DP #80 - Electronic Parking Software – $49,900
Administration Response: The Police Department is proposing this in response to what we understood to be Council’s continuing interest in enhancing the level of overtime parking enforcement. In addition, the ad-hoc Parking Committee has expressed the same sentiment. The City of Mukilteo has been a “beta site” for this same system, has found it to be reliable, and an asset to
their parking enforcement endeavors. Edmonds PD feels we will have equal success with it here in
our city. 14) Reduce DP #5 - Downtown Parking Study – ($35,000 Administration Response: Staff believes enough time has passed since the last parking study (17 years) that it is time to do another one focused on more than just the new park and waterfront center.
It would be very difficult to look at the parking impacts of these two projects without knowing the
capacity of the entire downtown parking system to absorb those impacts. Certainly, an overall parking study needs to look at these projects and others that have been proposed. Edmonds downtown is a much busier place than it was 17 years ago. We have a more vibrant, energized, retail climate with many new or expanded businesses, shops, restaurants, and bars. That inevitably creates
a demand for more parking and we have all heard the consistent message from our citizens about
how that has become a big issue. Other issues that could/should be included in a more expanded parking study would be the role of our recently expanded enforcement efforts in creating available spaces and turnover, other potential improvements to parking enforcement, working with the Port of Edmonds upcoming parking and feasibility study for a potential parking garage west of the BNSF
tracks, ways we could change our parking regulations, signing and striping practices, etc. to help
manage available spaces. Other strategies could include working with churches and other owners of underutilized parking lots to develop partnerships based on differential timings for peak parking demands. We suggest developing a draft scope-of-work for the study and sharing that with Council, citizens, and business groups before we settle on any changes to the requested budget.
15) Reduce DP #119 - Gateway Sign Replacement – ($25,000
Administration Response: The Parks & Recreation Department has started a publically advertised process to gather and integrate community input for design of a gateway sign replacement at SR 104 and Main Street S. This robust process, developed in response to public comment and City Council discussion on July 17, includes three community open house meetings and three meetings of an
expanded advisory committee to help guide the process. The first open house is scheduled
November 29, 2018 with the intent of gathering ideas from the community about what is important to them in the messaging and look and feel of this gateway, as well as some general input on other gateways in the city. Two more open houses are scheduled January 10 and February 11 to review specific design concepts, including the existing sign. The $35,000 budget for new signage covers not
7.2.b

Council Proposed 2019 Budget Amendments
10
only the design process but also fabrication, permitting and installation and adjustments to the site
and landscaping. If the community indicates that they would like the existing sign panel to be
replaced in its current site and on its current foundation, and WSDOT approves permits, then the cost will likely be less than the full budget, and we would not expend the full amount. However, if through the public process, the sign design is changed, then expenditures for design, fabrication, foundation, permits and installation will be necessary. At present WSDOT has approved a modified
site plan which meets their requirement to have any new signage situated to be visually prominent
from both roadways. Having advertised the process for development of this gateway design, the City has committed to including public input and to curtail the budget at this juncture would eliminate the possibility of creating a new sign that differs in site or design from the existing sign if that is the direction indicated after extensive public participation.
16) Reduce DP #97 - Pavement Perseveration Fund ($500,000)
Administration Response: This answer will be a similar to the one provided earlier seeking a reduction in Capital Renewal funding for City buildings. The pavement preservation request for 2019 is $1,500,000 for re-paving City streets. Similar to the Buildings discussion Edmonds went approximately five years without doing any paving other than one federal stimulus package project
in 2009. We weren’t doing an adequate amount of paving prior to that hiatus either but going five
years without doing any paving put us in an even deeper hole from a deferred maintenance standpoint. No amount of crack sealing or pothole repair can overcome a lengthy discontinuation of an on-going paving program. As a result our pavement condition worsened. We hired a private company last year (IMS) to do a city-wide pavement condition analysis. They concluded the City’s
pavement was still in “fair” condition but that an on-going expenditure of $2,500,000 (2017 dollars)
would be needed to maintain them in that condition. We are already proposing a 2019 paving budget that is only 60% of what is required. Further reductions should not be supported. 17) Reduce DP #2 - Capital Renewal Projects – ($170,000) Administration Response: Capital Renewal funding for City-owned buildings was funded for 20
years with an annual allotment of $56,600 every year up until 2014. What started out as well short of
adequate ended up almost unnoticeable at the end of that two decades. Council has supported additional funding each year since that time, going to first $100,000, then $300,000, and increasing that to $530,000 last year. We have requested $700,000 in 2019. This has been a very welcome change of direction for our facilities staff, our employees, and the public who visit and work with us
in these spaces. But these numbers need to be placed in context. McKinstry was hired by the
City in 2018 to do a thorough review of City buildings, including, for the first time, all of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems as well as other fixtures and equipment. That study concluded that Edmonds had a current backlog of $5,000,000 in deferred maintenance projects that should be addressed as soon as possible to put our building inventory in a sustainable condition, i.e.
not getting steadily worse each year. They also concluded that if this $5,000,000 building CIP were
already completed that it would take the equivalent of $800,000+ (2018 dollars) each year to keep them there. Obviously, we can feel good about the progress we have made but this issue needs to continue to be a priority. We need to keep up the basic infrastructure we already own (paving, buildings, parks, utilities). Cutting back funding for those items that are not and never have been
fully funded is not a good course of action in our opinion.
18) Add new DP - Accessible Playground Upgrades - $200,000 Administration Response: This is something that has been of interest from the community, as well as represented in our Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan. To that extent, the Parks Department has added accessible swings and other components to most of our park playgrounds. The fall

Council Proposed 2019 Budget Amendments
11
material is always required, and the City has mostly used fabricated wood chips, which are
considered accessible in the state requirements. The most accessible fall material for a playground is
a poured in place, rubberized surface. These are used throughout the country, and are the best standard for accessible playgrounds. There are similar discussions nationwide that are questioning the safety of these surfaces. There are several companies that are trying to create alternatives, but these are still in the research and development stages. For this item, I would recommend that the
City continue to install accessible equipment within our current budgets. It is also recommended to
focus on the Civic Park playground that could be 100% accessible. The goal, pending fund development, is to construct this in 2020. Council could opt to set this aside for the Civic budget, or consider it during the Civic budget process later in 2019. The cost that is currently in the budget for the Civic playground is approximately $120,000. The premium for a complete ADA for this
playground would be close to $250,000, for a total of $370,000.
19) Add new DP - Edmonds Drug Task Force (2) Police Officers - $300,000 Administration Response: The Police Department can certainly utilize two additional commissioned FTEs, and would assign the positions to either the Snohomish County Regional Drug Task Force, or would assign the officers as an additional compliment for our Street Crimes Unit (presently budgeted
for one sergeant and two police officers) that works as part of their assignment street level drug
cases. We are appreciative of Council Member Nelson’s proposal for two FTEs, at the same time recognizing limitations of the General Fund, and understanding that Council’s budgetary decisions come down to choices and trade-offs. We also realize there are other very important needs in our city. The Police Department would welcome the FTEs. However, we understand that final budgetary
decisions will be made by Council after giving due consideration to requested staffing and resource
allocations to all city departments as the budget is deliberated. Request # Proposed budget amendments from Councilmember Johnson: Councilmember Description 1) Reduce DP 5 cost to $35,000 and change focus of Downtown Parking study- to analyze civic field and Waterfront Center parking needs savings $40,000 Administration Response: Staff believes enough time has passed since the last parking study (17 years) that it is time to do another one focused on more than just the new park and waterfront center.
It would be very difficult to look at the parking impacts of these two projects without knowing the capacity of the entire downtown parking system to absorb those impacts. Certainly, an overall parking study needs to look at these projects and others that have been proposed. Edmonds downtown is a much busier place than it was 17 years ago. We have a more vibrant, energized, retail climate with many new or expanded businesses, shops, restaurants, and bars. That inevitably creates
a demand for more parking and we have all heard the consistent message from our citizens about how that is becoming a bigger issue. Other aspects of a more expanded parking study would be looking at the role of our recently expanded enforcement efforts in creating available spaces and turnover, working with the Port of Edmonds upcoming parking and feasibility study for a potential parking garage west of the BNSF tracks, how might we change our parking regulations, signing and
striping practices, etc. to help manage available spaces. Other strategies could include working with churches and other underutilized parking lot owners to develop partnerships based on differential timings for peak parking demands. We suggest developing a draft scope-of-work for the study and sharing that with Council, citizens, and business groups before we settle on any changes to the requested budget.

2) Remove DP 18 for Vacuum Machine $70,000
Administration Response: This machine is like a vactor machine on a skid which would be set on a
flatbed truck or a crew truck. It has a vacuum hose with a smaller diameter than our vactor truck so it will fit inside valve chambers to remove sediment and debris from around the valve. The removal of debris is critical since the valve nuts need to be accessible to operate. The City has over 2,500 water valves and over 10,000 water meters. This vacuum machine will be
used to clean both the water valve chambers along with the water meter boxes. Production of both
valve and meter maintenance will be sped up with this machine, which saves labor dollars. Since the machine will sit on the back of a flatbed or crew truck (existing), it will be more maneuverable on roads and on narrow streets and alleys. Using this machine will also allow traffic to maneuver through intersections easier, since it does not take up as much area as a standard vactor truck.
Without this machine, we remove the debris by hand with different long handled tools that can take
quite a bit of time and still not get all the debris removed from around the valve nut but just down to the top of the valve nut. 3) Remove DP 23 for one-time expenses from 2018 budget to on-going expenses $21,000 Administration Response: We may need some additional clarification on this question. This is a
multiple line item reconciliation Decision Package that asked to have several expense items reduced
and several other line items that were done as one-time Decision Packages in 2018 be granted in 2019 as well and made into on-going DPs. With that additional information please re-state your question or recommendation. 4) Remove DP 28 for Dayton Pump station. Wait for FEMA or Legislative action $500,000
Administration Response: The $500,000 requested from Fund 422 is a back-up plan to two other
methods of obtaining this funding. We have a request in to FEMA for a Hazard Mitigation grant for this same amount but they have not given us an answer on that request and they have had it for 18 months now. We will also be asking the legislature for this funding from the State’s 2019 Capital Budget. If neither of these comes through Decision Package 28 is the Back-up plan. We would not
use this funding without explaining to Council the need for doing so. We would much rather use
outside funding for this portion of what is a $2,000,000 project. We have a low-interest loan available for $545,000 from Snohomish County for part of this funding package as well. 5) Remove DP 71 for full time position $121,000. Continue use of consultants for $21,000 savings $100,000
Administration Response: See response to Councilmember Nelson #9 above.
6) Remove DP 77 for equipment B fund for both Scriber Lake and Edmonds Woodway high schools $130,000 Administration Response: See response to Councilmember Buckshnis #10 above.
Additionally, we are not clear on the derivation of the figure quoted by Councilmember Johnson of
$130,000. We are proposing an expenditure of $65,000 for a patrol vehicle in DP #77. The present SRO at Edmonds-Woodway High School is already equipped with a patrol vehicle as part of that assignment pursuant to the ILA with Edmonds School District, and that SRO position is not part of DP #77.
7) Remove DP 84 for State of the City scribe $800
Administration Response: This is an item that has considerable benefit, the staff and the public are able to see the meeting results graphically. The final product is always on display in the Brackett Room, where all can view it. The Director’s use the display to track progress throughout the year. And besides it is fun. 8) Remove DP 87 for Council Video Recording Device $30,000

Administration Response: The equipment covered in this decision package integrates the new
council video system with live television and web streaming site.
This equipment has experienced hardware failures within the past 12 months. Replacement parts were used to patch the equipment. In the opinion of both Edmonds IT and the video vendor, equipment replacement is recommended. Risk of non-replacement includes system failure resulting in loss of live streaming council meetings
on both web and cable television. System failure requires manual upload videos after the event.
