October 12, 1982 - canti,nued
Councilmember Jaech suggested sending to MIST O reaffirmation of the City's position -regarding the
possibility of a.bus :.yarn in the Ballinger area. Councilmember Nordquist had met with a meriber of
the Ballinger action group who r:as to meet with their attorney and then go to METRO, and he suggested
that.the Council not take any action until he gets a report back.
Councilmember Jaech asked the City Attorney what he had determined regarding the Mayor's offer to
purchase the property on 76th on which no bids ;ad been received. Mr. Tanaka responded that it is
an area that is unclear and he had recommended to the Mayor, and the Mayor had concurred, that a
legislator not from this area will'be asked to request from the Attorney General an official opinion
on this. That way it would be from a neutral source and.whatever he comes up with will be a guidance
for the future for any elected official. Councilmember Nordquist said he had contacted both First
Serve and Southland Corporation and neither was aware that the property was for sale and both
indicated some interest. He noted that the property had been purchased with UAB funds and asked if
they will have to repay UAB. Councilmember Kasper said all of those were odd parcels that the State
was giving away to the cities when the freeway was constructed.
Council ?resident Kasper had a letter from the Sno-Isle Regional Library thanking the City staff for
accomplishing the move from the of J to the new library.
Council President Kasper urged getting the budget sessions started as soon as possible and lie said
he was still holing to go through it the way they had in:the past. It was agreed to move from
October 26 to November 9 the discussion on reconsideration of the downtown business area parking
formula and the discussion on PRD extensions in order to have a budget discussion on October 26.
Mayor Harrison stated that the Elm Club was shown the Public Works offices and is interested in
• renting them. He said the figure quoted was $6 per square foot. Councilmember.Naughten said he had
told.the SNOCOM Board the decision must be made by February. Mayor Harrison asked if he could get
an earlier decision, by.December. Councilmember Nordquist noted that an alcoholism rehabilitation
.center had rented space in the old Lynnwood Furniture store and that may be a good location for the
Elm Club.
Mayor Harrison called attention to a letter from Mrs. Gunnard Swanson and asked that the Council
consider it.
Councilmember Hall noted that the Council will not be moving to the new building until November
because the furniture had not arrived.
There was no further business to come before the Council, and the meeting adjourned at 10:45 p.m.

AUTHORIZATION TO AWARD CONTRACT TO RMA FOR PREPARATION OF SECONDARY TREATMENT WAIVER [Item (E) on
Consent Agenda]
M
October 19, 1982 - continued •
Councilmember Gould asked if the City .had made a request for an extension for asking for a waiver.
City Engineer Jim Adams responded that the City must present the waiver request before December 29, .
1982 and this is the process to start it. Councilmember Gould said they probably should ask for an
extension on the time because even if they were to go forward with the project it would cost a lot
of money. Councilmember Hall noted that even if they went to secondary treatment the water/sewer
rates would probably have to be raised by approximately $25 per month. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED,
SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO'APPROVE THE AGREEMENT FOR PHASE I OF THE APPLICATION FOR
WAIVER WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL THE COSTS WILL NOT EXCEED $7,500 AND THAT EDMONDS WILL PAY
ONLY ONE-HALF OF THAT, AND THE INFORMATION WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE COUNCIL BEFORE.THE END OF THE
YEAR SO THEY CAN DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO GO FORWARD WITH SECONDARY TREATMENT OR A WAIVER PROCESS.
MOTION CARRIED, APPROVING ITEM (D) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.
AUTHORIZATION TO BID ON USED SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT MOTORCYCLE
ITt—e—m-77 on Consent Agenda
Councilmember Gould asked if this would be adding a vehicle to the Police Deparment, and Police
Chief Marlo.Foster said it would.. But he said one of.the goals of leasing cars is to run them down
to lower mileage and with the other Kawasaki they had taken 10,000 miles off the cars. He said the
motorcycles have a specific use and cannot be used around.the clock or 365 days a year, but it pays
for itself in two years by reduction in fuel consumption. COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY
COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO APPROVE ITEM (F) ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, AUTHORIZING A BID OF $1,501 FOR THE
USED SEATTLE.POLICE DEPARTMENT MOTORCYCLE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE FUNDS WILL COME OUT OF
THE EXISTING 1982 POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET FOR A NEW MOBILE RADIO. MOTION CARRIED.
MAYOR
Mayor Harrison introduced Tambi Shaw, the new Student Representative to the City Council. She is a
sophomore at.Edmonds High School and'will serve as Student Representative until January 25, 1983. •
Mayor Harrison recognized a group of Webelos from Edmonds and Lynnwood who were in the audience.
Mayor Harrison requested a report from the Public Works Committee regarding the Harbor Square drainage
situation. Councilmember Gould reported that their recommendation was: $15,000 already had been
authorized to be spent by the City, and they thought they.should recommend that the City spend up to
$18,600 for the purchase of the right to use the water pipe system or an easement to use the water
pipe system; and secondly, they recommend authorizing the Staff to enter into negotiation for a
maintenance agreement on that pipeline. They think it would'be to:their benefit to be in a position
to maintain it. Dick Beselin was in the audience and said the'proposal was acceptable. COUNCIL
MEMBER GOULD THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, THAT THE CITY BE AUTHORIZED TO SPEND UP
TO $18,600 for the City's share of the drainage system and for.that they will receive the right to
place their water in those pipes or receive an easement from the property for that and, secondly, .
that the City enter into negotiations regarding maintenance of the drainage system. MOTION CARRIED.
AUDIENCE
,. I •,
Paula Johnson and Dave Ehrling of the Edmonds Business Association thanked the City for its partici-
pation in the recent "Krazy Daze -.and Fog Festival" and asked for participation in their next project,
developing a Christmas House for Edmonds. Ms. Johnson said the Chamber of Commerce building will be
decorated.and will have figures representing Santa Claus and his wife in residence, and there will
be a place for children to mail letters to Santa. There also will be a place to donate food and
toys. They want to have this in place by December 1 and will add to it each year. Some trees have
been donated and they are soliciting funds to finance it. They were asking the Council for permission
to use the property and for a contribution of funds. Ms. Johnson said they need approximately $800
but will accept whatever is given:. COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORD-
QUIST,.TO PLACE ON THE AGENDA OF OCTOBER 26, 1982 THE REQUEST FOR FUNDS. Councilmember Gould
commented that the Council heartily embraces the project. THE MOTION CARRIED. •
Mayor Harrison advised that two items.on this evening's agenda would be postponed because the posting
requirements had not been met.. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED TO PLACE ST-3-82 (GOLDSMITH RIGHT-OF-
WAY VACATION) ON THE NOVEMBER _16,'1982 AGENDA AND ST-5-82 (HUBBARD RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION) ON THE
DECEMBER 7, 1982 AGENDA. MOTION"CARRIED.
HEARING ON PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH.3-HOUR PARKING FROM 8:00 A.M. TO 6:00 P.M. ON BELL AND
EDMONDS STS. FROM SUNSET AVE. TO 3RD AVE. AND.ON 2ND AND 3RD AVES. FROM THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
TO CASPERS ST..
City Engineer Jim Adams reported that he had received a number of calls in the past week with
recommendations as to what should be done in regard to the proposed parking restrictions. He
identified on a vicinity map the Central Business District (CBD),. noting that part of the proposed
restriction was to extend limited parking from the CBD to Caspers St., and a large number of residents
objected to that. He also showed slides of affected streetswhich are not currently restricted to
parking and which are congested with parked cars. Councilmember Naughten had not been present at
the previous hearing and he asked.why the proposal had 3-hour parking from Edmonds St..north to
Caspers. Mr..Adams responded that it had been the Council recommendation. Mayor Harrison further
explained that in the process of hearing the complaints of the residents at 2nd and Bell the City
Council had decided to extend the parking restriction all the way to Caspers St. as an exploratory
move.. Councilmember Gould said they had been concerned about.just moving the problem to the next
set of neighbors and they were trying to avoid that. Mr. Adams further explained that the restric-
tions in the CBD were done by zoning, taking in all of the area zoned BC. The hearing was opened.
Vic Schoch, 135 2nd Ave. N., said he represented the group around 2nd and Bell and they were interested
in the area between 2nd and Sunset and Bell and Edmonds which the. Council had approved for restricted
parking. He did not understand why the restrictions were extended to Caspers, and he said they
still would like to have restriction of parking in that limited area.
• October 19, 1982 - continued
Marion Sant, 219 2nd N., asked how the City could charge for permits for taxpayers who do not have
parking. She did not see how they could be charged for parking in front of their own houses.
Marion Larrabee, 205 2nd Ave.. N., said she had lived there for nine years and in each of the last
four years it had gotten worse. She had counted the cars from 2nd Ave. to Sunset on Bell the last
Sunday and said there were seventeen and that some were not moved until Monday. She said they can
hardly get out of their back driveway, but it had eased up since they last were ''before the Council.
She thought sorie of the postal workers now are parking in the lot south of the MayorNs new building.
She said they would like 4-hour pal -Ling, seven days a week, with permits for time residents and
guests; and they ..,also wo.ulld l.i:ke ,the driveways;°painted .at Teast:10' on either side so they can see
when they are driving out of them. Councilmember Gould.told her that the other idea mentioned was
no parking from 12:00 rnidnight until 8:00 a.m., with permits for residents, and he asked if that
would be satis-r'actory. She responded 'that a lot of people leave their, cars or campers -for several
days, and either restriction would be all right for stopping that, but she preferred the 4-hour
parking.
Mary Duke, 52'Z') 3rd Ave. 'N., read a prepared statement saying that tine residents on 3rd Ave. N. do
not want parking res-trictions and refuse to pay for residential parking and visitor permits. She
said she had talked to the "attorney General's office and was told the City of Edmonds cannot have
parking restrictions on 3rd .Ave. because i t I s a State h-i gilway. She Stated that when the Mood Canal
Bridge oPens Edmonds will have additional traffic. Sine thought this problem should have gone to the
Planning Board because it serves as the Parking Commission. She stated,t'riat. the officials do not
know her neighborhood, Mat you .nave to be -there to know it, and that Tier nei ghbori-lood does not have
parking congestion.
Allen Albers, 524 .3rd Ave. N., said the Police Chief ,Jogs on his street every night and can acknowl-
edge that there are no parking problems on 3rd Ave. N. He stated chat existing parking restrictions
•
are not enforced. I,e supported Mrs. Duke's statements.
Gloria Hopper, 520 3rd Ave. N., said the photograph shown of 3rd Ave. N. towards Caspers is not
typical of what is there. She said she could assure the Council that if a problem develops the
residents would seek help. She did not think parking should be restricted in a residential area.
Sig Larson, P.U. Box 1422, said hie was the catalvst for extending the parking restrictions, and when
he spoke previously he was sort of laughed at when he expressed his concerns. He said he came back
tonight to see what was going to be done about the problem. He felt the Council needed to make
considerations for all of the people who park in their community, and he suggested leaving one side
of the street unrestricted. He noted that the problem may have changed already because some of them
are parking in other places.
W. Ashley -Cole, 419 3rd Ave. N., said most of the time there is no parking problem on 3rd Ave. and
he thought it should be omitted from the restrictions.
Rosemary Wells, 2nd and Edmonds,•said in her block which is zoned for multi -family there is only
one house that Goes not have two or more cars in the family. She said there are four in her family
because she has two college girls living in her home, and there are seven when her own children come
home, so parking permits would cost them a lot of money to park in front of their home. She said
there was no problem, until somebody got greedy on what used to be public parking.
John Wells read a letter signed by neighbors, Shirley Hobbs and the Milligan family, who objected to
paying for parriing in front.of their homes.
Erin Russell, .ill 3rd 'N., said she sees the traffic coming and going each morning and part of the
problem is the ferry aind part is from commuters who pick up the Metro bus there. As a resident she
did not think she should'have to pay to parkin front of her own house, and she said possibly the
•
commuters should be informed of the commuter parking lot at St. Peter by the Sea Church.
Esther Collard, 513 2nd Ave. N., said when the traffic pattern was changes! on Sunset it i-vas also
changed on 2nd Ave. and there is practically never a car parked there -that is not a resident. She
said they do not have the traffic 3rd Ave. has because even they have to use 3rd ,Ave. She did .not
understand why the parking restriction was extending as far as Caspers.
Delores Albers, 524 3rd Ave. N., said she walks downtown at least four times a week to the Safeway
store between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and she has yet to sce cars even between Uell and Main St. on
• 2nd. She did not know where the problem is and said she does'not know where the carslare that
people say are b--ingleft.
Rosemary is as;;ec 'low the. City got the Diamond parking lot. Mayor Harrison responded that the
area is or�med by tale railroad and they negotiated with Diamond. Councilmember Kasper added that
many of the diamond pa rising lots in Seattle are not there for revenge but just for maintenance of
the Mats to Deep ti^icm clean and from being an eyesore.
Victor Schoch said the; are only asking fi'or a few restrictions around 2nd a.nd Bell and 2nd and
Edmonds, and tl:e "issue has grown. No one else wished to speak, and the hearing was closed.
Councilwiember Hail said she thought they had creaked a monster, and she thought it eras a. good
suggestion that this be referred to the Planning Board as theware a study croup and can St,L;dy the
issues.. Councilmember PlaughtEn did not think it shOUld be referred to another hearing; at this
point. He said the fee is a separate issue and lie thought the area of restriction Should be limited
to Bell and Edmonds and Lnd and 3rd. Councilrlrember.Gould agreed that the Ceunci1 should deal with
the problem as it would not be fair to keep bouncing the people back and forth to get an answer to
the problem. He said it would be satisfactory to him if they handled only the area of Bell and
Edmonds and 2nd and 3rd that.originally was identified., and the worst that would happen would be
that the problem t,!ould move and.the affected people would come hack. He thought they should sneak
to the fee issue also. Councilmember Hall still thought it should be referred to the Planning
October 19, 1.982 - continued •
Board. THEREFORE, COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED FOR DISCUSSION BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, THAT
THE PARKING MATTER FOR RESIDENTIAL PARKING AND FEES BE REFERRED TO THE PLANNING BOARD. Council -
member Naughten did not think this issue should be drawn out, and he thought the Council should take
action on the specific area he had discussed previously. THE MOTION FAILED, WITH COUNCILMEMBERS
HALL AND NORDQUIST VOTING YES, AND WITH COUNCILMEMBERS GOULD, NAUGHTEN, KASPER, AND JAECH VOTING NO.
COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO ESTABLISH 3-HOUR PARKING FROM
8:00 A.M. TO 6:00 P.M. TO INCLUDE 2ND AVE. AND 3RD AVE. TO EDMONDS ST., THE NORTH SIDE OF BELL ST.
FROM SUNSET TO 3RD AVE., AND BOTH SIDES OF EDMONDS ST. FROM SUNSET TO 3RD AVE., EXCEPT FOR SUNDAYS
AND HOLIDAYS. MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMEMBER HALL VOTING NO.
COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED FOR DISCUSSION BY COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN, TO REFER TO THE PLANNING
BOARD A STUDY OF THE PARKING PROBLEM, INCLUDING THE FEE STRUCTURE (BUT NOT DEALING WITH FEES SEPARATELY),
THE STUDY TO.BE CITY-WIDE. Councilmember Gould suggested that the Planning Board be told what data
the City Council wants, such as the cost issue --whether or not there should be fee charges and under
what circumstances; identify what they consider to be the parking problem in the area under dis-
cussion and what are its elements; what is the effectiveness and usage of the Diamond parking lot;
and what can the City do to impact the use of that lot and increase its effectiveness. A ROLL CALL
VOTE WAS TAKEN ON THE MOTION, WITH COUNCILMEMBERS NORDQUIST, KASPER, HALL, AND NAUGHTEN VOTING YES,
AND WITH.COUNCILMEMBERS GOULD AND JAECH VOTING NO. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Gould explained
that he thought the motion was too broad and that they should focus on the area being discussed this
evening, not the entire City. Councilmember Jaech said the bowl area is more impacted than other
areas and she thought they should concentrate the study in phases, doing the more highly impacted
areas first.
A recess was announced, and following the recess COUNCILMEMBER GOULD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
NAUGHTEN, TO AMEND THE MOTION TO INCLUDE THE FACT THAT THE CITY COUNCIL IS ASKING FOR SPECIFIC
INFORMATION RELATED TO THE IMPACT OF THE BUS SYSTEM ON THE PARKING IN THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS AREA AND •
IT WOULD LIKE AN ANALYSIS OF THE BUS ROUTES AND SEQUENCE OF LOADING POINTS SO THE PLANNING BOARD CAN
MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL AS TO CHANGES IN ORDER TO HELP THE PARKING SITUATION THEY
ARE ADDRESSING. MOTION CARRIED.
COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER GOULD, THAT THE PLANNING BOARD ALSO TAKE AN
INVENTORY OF THE EXISTING PARKING AS.IT RELATES TO THE DIAMOND PARKING LOT AND THE CITY PARKING LOT,
WHAT THE FEES ARE, HOW MUCH USAGE THERE.IS OF THE LOTS, HOW MUCH POTENTIAL USE IS LEFT, AND ALSO HOW
MUCH PARKING EXISTS IN THE CBD.AS FAR AS CHURCHES WHOSE LOTS COULD BE USED FOR COMMUTER PARKING.
MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Jaech asked what about the permits in the interim period. Council -
member Naughten said the people will have to go,along with the present system.
MEETING WITH PETITIONERS OF PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF AREA IN VICINITY OF 100TH AVE. W.
AND 236TH S.W. (EDMONDS VILLAGE ESTATES AND INCLUDING.WOODWAY HIGH SCHOOL)
Planning Director Mary Lou Block noted that Woodway High School is included in this annexation as
well as another one recently brought before the Council, and the school makes no difference as far
as assessed valuation but it is needed .in this one in order for the proposed annexation area to be
contiguous to the City. Whichever annexation is completed first will include the school. The Staff
recommendation is that the subject area be annexed, that simultaneous zoning be adopted, and that
the area assume the indebtedness of the City of Edmonds. Councilmember Nordquist asked how Robert
Pantley could sign for the plat if 26 of the 28 new homes in it have been sold. John McGrail,
representing the petitioners, said he works with Mr. Pantley and he lives in one of the homes on a
rental agreement until the closing. He had talked to everyone living there and said most of the
people are agreeable to the annexation, and Mr. Pantley had indicated that if 75% were not agreeable
to the annexation then he would not sign the final petition. City Attorney Wayne Tanaka noted that
at the time this petition was signed and verified Mr. Pantley was the owner, but the 75% petition is
the one that counts and if by the time the Boundary Review Board hears this and the 75% petition is
signed the property has changed hands it could change the outcome. COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, •
SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NAUGHTEN, T& ACCEPT THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION; THAT ALL PROPERTY WITHIN THE
TERRITORY HEREBY SOUGHT TO BE ANNEXED SHALL BE ASSESSED AND TAXED AT THE SAME RATE AND ON THE SAME
BASIS AS PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF EDMONDS FOR ANY NOW OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS OF SAID CITY,
INCLUDING ASSESSMENTS OR TAXES IN PAYMENT OF ANY BONDS ISSUED OR DEBTS CONTRACTED, PRIOR TO OR
EXISTING AT THE DATE OF ANNEXATION; AND THAT SIMULTANEOUS ADOPTION OF PROPOSED ZONING REGULATIONS BE
REQUIRED. MOTION CARRIED.
REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF REVISED LYNNWOOD/EDMONDS SEWER AGREEMENT
Assistant City Engineer Pat Wilson noted that the Council had received the proposed agreement for
examination, as well as a summary covering the background of the proposed agreement, the objectives,
the principal modifications, the comparative outline, and a section -by -section commentary on the
features of the agreement. The Lynnwood City Council had.authorized their Mayor to sign the agree-
ment, and it had been reviewed by the Finance Director, City Attorney, and Council Public Works
Committee. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED TO ADOPT THE AGREEMENT FOR THE SAKE OF DISCUSSION. COUNCIL -
MEMBER HALL SECONDED THE MOTION. Councilmember'Kasper said there is no way for the Council to get
into this type of document. Mr..Wilson said they had made every effort to make it equitable and
there has been full concurrence by the Finance Departments of both cities. Also, he said there is
complete understanding of how it will be administered and they have gone through three cycles of
updates and believed there were no "clinkers." Councilmember Jaech noted that the Council had asked
for a report regarding the capacity of the Edmonds treatment plant, and Mr. Wilson said at the
present time the PSCOG forecasts that Edmonds will not exceed reasonable balanced capacity until far
into
the next.century, and using his own trend line analysis it would be 2003 before they would
exceed seven million gallons a day. Councilmember Jaech said she had heard several years ago that
the Edmonds facility was near full capacity. Mr. Wilson responded that you can temporarily exceed
the capacity and can by-pass with the
permission of EPA. Councilmember Jaech asked about the Lynnwood
plant, noting that Edmonds has.ownership in it but cannot use it because it is full, and
she asked
if those problems are addressed.in this sewer agreement. City Engineer Jim Adams said Edmonds has
no problem because Lynnwood is in the process of expanding their plant and when the north Meadowdale
October 19, 1982 - continued
area is ready to use it the Edmonds need v.ill be met there and Edmonds will use its capacity of that
plant. It was noted that there are escalations in the contract to cover maintenance and operation
and it is automatically shared in proportion to use every year. THE MOTION CARRIED.
COUNCIL
Councilmember Gould stated that a member of the public had asked to attend the interviews of candidates
for board appointments, and.he asked the Council to consider that issue. City Attorney ;X;ayne Tanaka
stated that when the Council is interviewing candidates that is private, and he would want to examine
this question more closely before a decision is made.
Council President {Casper asked that the November 1 agenda be closed, after Councilmember Gould noted
an item that had been omitted.
Councilmember Hall commended
Mark Harden of The
Herald for an article he wrote on the issue of full-
time/part-time Mayor for`'the
City of Edmonds.
Councilmember Hall warned of
a "cat burglar"
in Edmonds, raving been a victim last weekend.
Councilmember Naughter, asked
about; a new frcie
rFvi s i or, having to do with th 1 e�vi rig children i 1 eiret; i n cars
unattended. Police Chief Foster said that was
simply.adoption of a State statute and was intended
to deter people from ieaving
children in cars
while patronizing a tavern or bar.
Attention was called to a letter irons Firs. Gunnard Swanson who objected to charges of' approximately
$2 ,440 to correct some drainage probl ei.,s . C i ty Eny-i neer J i fn Adams briefly explained her probl en-1.
No determination was made as to Council action.
Councilr„e,ber• Nordauist noted that the cemetery rules and rEgulations will be discussed or October
26, 1962, and asked for a report on the books and correct ownerships of lots. He was concerned
about the City's liability if it sold the wrong lots.
Councilmember Nordquist asked about the status of th,E annexation of the corner of 212th and Highway
99. City Engineer Jim Adams responae�l that it was heard by the Bou��uary Raview Board the previous
evening, so it should be final in approximately C0 days.
Counci lirember NorU U. St again asked about the �ft report on the Highway ;19 Study. Mr. AdG;i;s Said
there has been a problem in the data received from John LaTourelle as some of it was not accurate.
It has been clarified and the report should be ready in approximately two weeks.
Council President Kasper reaG an item from the Seattle Times, a letter to 'the editor from Rosalyn
Sumners chastising them for saying she is from Kirkland when she is from Edmonds and informing them
of the strong support Edmonds has given her and that she always wants to be known as being from
Edmonds.
Council President Kasper advised the Council that they will be receiving a letter regarding a boards
and Commissions party on December 10.
Council President Kasper noted that a letter had been.received from the Youth Club of Edmonds -
Lynnwood asking to be subsidized in the amount of $2,600 and asking to be heard. He had requested a
financial statement from them. COUNCILMENiBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL!1EM5ER 140RDQUI.ST, TO
