He said a complete draft will be produced after July 9. A July 30 meeting is proposed in the Plaza Meeting Room for a presentation to all Councils on Fire Consolidation.

COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, THAT THE BALANCE OF THE CONSENT AGENDA BE APPROVED. MOTION CARRIED. The approved items on the Consent Agenda included the following; (A) Roll cal 1. (B) Approval of minutes of June 19, 1984. (C) Approval of Fireworks Stands permits. (G) Adoption of Ordinance 2438 regulating the use of fireworks in public parks. (I) Acknowledgment of receipt of claim for damages from Theresa Zulauf ($504.99). 415 AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN PERSONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH LINDA SULLIVAN [Item (D) on Consent Agenda] As a result of her earlier conversation with the City Attorney concerning the need to update and revise this contract, COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, THAT ITEM (D) BE RESCHEDULED FOR THE JULY 10 COUNCIL MEETING. MOTION CARRIED., AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO EXECUTE EASEMENT FOR PUD TO INSTALL GUY WIRES AT YOST PARK [Item (E) on Consent Agenda] · . · Councilmember Jaech questioned the scope of the relocation and installation of new poles. Council- memb~r Kasper noted that a Com~unity Services Committee meeting ii scheduled for 10:00 p.m. this evening and suggested that .this item be considered at that time. Councilmember Jaech asked for furthe~ information on the PUD franchise, which expired several years ago, as well as questions of 4~16 June 26, 1984 -continued liability and insurability. She asked if notification had been mailed to residents regarding the PUD hearing scheduled by the ADS.for July 2. City Attorney Scott Snyder said the ADB hearing is exempt from the undergrounding issue, since the line is over 55kv, but is not exempt.from the height and structural requirements of the City. He noted that the ADB review should be followed by a variance request because of th~ height of the poles. He added that there were no notice require-. ments because of the exemption. Planning Director Mary Lou.Block informed the Council that the Planni~~ 6epartment had posted notices of the ADB hearing iri the neighborhood as a courtesy to the residents, but there was no notice requirement under SEPA guidelines. She added that requirement for notice is limited to those projects requiring an Environmental Impact Statement and this project is exempt from the EIS requirement. Councilmember Dwyer asked the City Attorney what steps need to be taken regarding the PUD franchise and for a clarification of the City's legal status. Mr. Snyder said the PUD should be notified that the franchise has expired and that the subject must be addressed. He added that the advantage to the City of the franchise lies mainly in the hold harmless clauses. I Councilmember Kasper raised the question of undergrounding; noti11g that the PUP had pulled out of I the undergrounding fund. He mentioned the problem at Sunset and Main with the cross feed to busi-· nesses on the waterfront. If underground power is mandated, he said, there must be funding--perhaps using an electri.cal tax. He said.the City must.decide on.a policy and solutions must be worked out. Councilmember Jaech suggested that the.issue of undergrounding be addressed now since the PUD was electing to replace these poles. Councilmember Kasper said the City may not be able to stop some of the projects, but the Council could order them as temporary solutions until the issues are resolved. He said the Community Services Committee would address the preliminaries this evening and bring the item back to the July 10 Council meeting. In addition, he said the finance issue could be placed on the July 24 agenda, and the entire matter be resolved at the end of the month. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH ~ MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO MOVE ITEM (E) TO· THE REGULAR AGENDA ON JULY 10. MOTION · ~ CARRIED. . COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO SCHEDULE THE QUESTION OF UNDERGROUNDING THE CONNECTIONS OF THE POWER STATIONS AND THE SEWER LIFT STATIONS IN THE MEADOWDALE AREA FOR JULY 10. MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED ORDINANCE 2437 CREATING A NEW CHAPTER 5.29 OF THE EDMONDS CITY CODE RELATING TO FIREWORKS AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY [Item (F) on Consent Agenda] Councilmember Kasper pointed out that the proposed ordinance is very complicated. He said there were areas that are not spelled out and fears the public will not know what is being said. He indicated that public awareness will be a long process. COUNClLMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, THAT ORDINANCE 2437 BE ADOPTED. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY WITH ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT. APPROVAL -OF FINANCING FOR PURCHASE OF MUNICIPAL STORAGE PROPERTY [Item (H) on Consent Agenda] Having received the necessary information subsequent to removing this item from the Consent Agenda, COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO APPROVE FINANCING FOR PURCHASE OF MUNICIPAL STORAGE PROPERTY. MOTION CARRIED. REPORT FROM STAFF RE MEADOWDALE MORATORIUM AREA City Engineer Jim Adams explained the map of the moratorium area which indicates probable areas of land slippage. He recalled that the moratorium was iniposed on February 28, 1979 by Resolution 428 because of the danger of land movement in the area. He described the funding for the Meadowdale project. Mr. Adams explained the recommendations before the Council. He said that enforcement of the tree cutting restriction would be handled by the Planning Department. Ms. Block affirmed that the buil~ing permit process would ~fford a method of enforcement provided the trees were standing at the time application was made. Mr. Adams pointed out that continuing to monitor the water table would provide measurement of any improvement resultin~ from the construction. In addition, the City would know whether further building permits should be issued. Mr. Adams recommended that the mora- torium be lifted, with the restrictions cited. Mr. Snyder said the City's obligation at this point is one of notification. A statement could be included on the building application that the area is subject to land movement, furnishing a copy of the hazard map, or the requirement could be placed in the chain of title by a blanket filing with the County. He added that the City has done what could be done from an engineering and scientific point of view leaving a choice of prohibiting use of the property or providing notification of the hazard. In response to questions from the Council, Mr. Adams said a building official ~ould look at any designs submitted, approving it or bringing it to Engineering for their evaluation. It could also be referred to an expert in any specific area that was questioned. Councilmember Hall suggested that provision be included for certification by the design engineer of the design as-built. Mr. Adams said water meters would not be installed until everything is approved. Based on the review by the staff and attorneys and the fact that the City has done what was possible to mitigate the problems, COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO REPEAL THE. CURRENT BUILDING MORATORIUM, RESOLUTION 428, WITH RESTRICTIONS AS SET FORTH IN ADMINISTRATION MEMO OF JUNE 21, 1984 INCLUDING PARAGRAPH l, 2, 3, 4, SUBPARAGRAPHS A, B, C, D, E, AND F WITH THE ADDI- TION TO PARAGRAPH 4D THAT AS-BUILT INSPECTION BE CERTIFIED BY THE DESIGN ENGINEER, AND CHANGE PARA- GRAPH l TO READ EIGHT INCH RATHER THAN SIX INCH AND GREATER DIAMETER. Fol lowing comments from Mr. Snyder, COUNCILMEMBER KASPER AMENDED HIS MOTION, AGREEABLE TO SECOND, INSTRUCTING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE NECESSARY RESOLUTION AND ORDINANCES FOR JULY 10 MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. I I I I -- I I I June 26, 1984 -continued STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS RE ACCESS TO LAKE BALLINGER Landscape Designer Linda Sullivan presented the Parks and Recreation Department recommendations for use of the McAleer Way street end access to Ballinger Lake. Ms. Sullivan then displayed overhead projections and slides of the proposal. Councilmember Ostrom asked if those residents who were present at the first hearing on this subject had been contacted .for their opinion. Ms. Sullivan did not know who had been contacted. Councilmember Hall said the CZM study had considered this area but had not discussed development. She noted that the neighbors were reluctant to develop the area and invite more intense use. She indicated that she could accept the chain link fence and the bollards restricting access but would like to decrease the $11,000 amount as presented and keep the area in a natural rather than park-like setting. Councilmember Wilson expressed dislike of the bollards, since they would render the water inaccess- ible and useless. He sa.id erecting the fences and installing a plank for boaters use will also encourage swimming. Mayor Naughten indicated that the neighbors want the bollards since one of the problems is use of the access by larger boats for flushing engines. Councilmember Kasper indicated that. the bollards should be closer to the water so car top boats can be carried to the water. He said he would rather spend the money on enforcement. Councilmember Dwyer asked that the staff recommendations be sent to those people who testified at the first hearing prior to the Planning Board hearing. Councilmember Ostrom encouraged residents in the affected area to to let the Planning Board know their views of the recommendations. Council~ member Kasper_commented that he would like to see maximum usage with minimum disturbance. DISCUSSION OF PUBLIC DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED FROM JUNE 11) Mr. Snyder reviewed the Council's previous discussion of this subject. He noted that Chapter 1.14 contains. three sections: 1. Requirement for filing of information--on June 11, a number of people on the Council indicated their willingness to eliminate the City provisions either filing the State reporting forms with the City Clerk or relying on the State provisions; 2. Participation by Public Official Prohibited, which is unique to the City ordinance; and 3. Provision of Advisory Opinions, again unique to the City. Councilmember Kasper said he had moved to repeal the Public Disclosure Requirements but had discovered that other items were incorporated in the Chapter that are not covered by State reg- ulations. Councilmember Jaech suggested that 1.14.030 might be compared with the State requirements to determine if there are any problems. Councilmember Kasper questioned the necessity of filing redundant information with the City, County and State. He said the City requirements and State requirements are not reconciled and there is contradictory information in the City requirements. He would like to repeal anything in the City Public Disclosure requirements that is covered in the State. He added that there are items in Chapter 14 which do not belong since they do not pertain to Public Disclosure. Councilmember Dwyer said, if the contradiction in monetary amounts is a problem, they could be apprised of the triggering amount regardless of which requirement contains that amount. Councilmember Ostrom said repeal of section 1. 14.030 with provision for filing a copy of the state form with the City Clerk is a good idea. Councilmember Jaech pointed out that there are some subtle differences between the two requirements; such as the businesses which may not be identifiable as being located in Edmonds. In looking at the chart prepared by the City Attorney, Councilmember Jaech found only one section that was redundant. Since the form required by the City is not difficult to complete and gives the added information that is helpful to the City and to help terminate the discussion, COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO LEAVE THE PRESENT CHAPTER AS IT IS. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER WILSON VOTING NO. REPORT FROM CITY ATTORNEY RE CABLE TV FRANCHISE AND FROM RICK SCHAAL, MANAGER OF CHAMBERS CABLE TV Mr. Snyder described the outline provided to the Council on this matter. The two problems before the Council are: 1. The ordinance requires 30 day notification prior to a rate increase effective date. This was not received. Mr. Schaal was contacted and has now provided the notification. 2. The effective date of the rate increase. Mr. Snyder said he was not able to give a definitive answer concerning whether waiving of the 30 day notification by the Council would bar any individual rate payer from refusing to pay or challenging the rate increase. Councilmember Jaech questioned the consumer price index rate used by Mr. Schaal in figuring the rate increase. Finance Director Art Housler questioned the use of March 1, 1982 as the date for figuring the consumer price index rather than using May 1,. 1982. Councilmember Jaech indicated that the exceptions to a public hearing as cited in the ordinance are not being met by the cable TV rate increase application and therefore the rate increase would have to go to .a public hearing. Mr. Snyder suggested the Council could simply deny the rate increase, which would afford Mr. Schaal the opportunity to take the rate increase to a public hearing. He also pointed out that the City ordi- nance provides for a council review of rates every three years, but he is unable to verify that this is being done. Mayor Naughten invited Rick Schaal, Chambers Cable TV, to speak. Mr. Schaal indicated that their omission in notifying the Council of the proposed rate increase was not intentional and he had attempted to remedy this error with the letter sent to the Council on June ~2. He reviewed the company's attempts to improve service in the area. He explained that the rate increase was computed on the consumer price index from March 1, 1982 because March 1 was the date.used in the p~evious perio~. In addition, use of 7.0% rather than 6.7% was an attempt to obtain a rounded figure for an increase. He asked for the Council's indulgence in the matter of the 30 day notice, since bills have already been prepared reflecting the rate increase and any cha~ge would be confusing for the consumer. Mr. Schall said there was a charge for cbnverters for VHR s that were unable to receive the former 12 channels, although most recorders have that --. -~---------c--------------- 418 June 26, 1984 -continued capability. With the addition of the eight new channels, VHR's would have to have a converter to be able to record the additional channels. He said the former charge was not referred to as a VHR con- verter charge. Channels 2 through 13 can still be recorded without a converter; it is only needed for the additional 8 channels. Based on the information furnished by the City Attorney, COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OSTROM, TO DENY THE RATE INCREASE SINCE IT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FRANCHIS~. MOTION CARRIED. . Following passage of the motion, there was a discussion concerning the steps Chambers Cable TV should take to obtain a rate increase. Mr. Snyder advised that they could resubmit the application after bringing it into conformance with the franchise requirements for an increase without a hear- ing or they could request an increase be granted by the Council after a public hearing in any amount they deem appropriate and can.justify .. in rate proceedings. The meeting recessed for 10 minutes at 9:20 p.m., reconvening at 9:30 p.m. Council Presi.dent Jaech introduced the new Student Representative, Steve Dahl, and welcomed him to the Council. Since the remainder of the agenda dealt with housekeeping items and Mr. Dahl had expressed a.need to leave, he was excused from·the meeting and left the room. FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING (A) Continued Review of Fees Charged by City (from April 24): Ms. Block explained the· rationale for the proposed Building Division fees. In response to questions from the Council, she elaborated on the function of the Board of Appeals, noting that one appeal had been heard in 1983. Appeals are usually brought by the property owner. Ms. Block said the only other appeal fee is for a permit review. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO APPROVE FEES AS I NDICATED FOR THE BUILDING DIVISION. MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILMEMBER DWYER VOTING NO. Mayor Naughten pointed out those items that are being proposed for fee revision in the Planning Department. Councilmember Nordquist indicated Edmonds spends more time in helping applicants than is spent in other cities and questioned whether the City is getting its money's worth for the time spent. Ms. Block explained that the major portion of the processing cost for many of the items listed is the Hearing Examiner's time and secretarial service. The time spent by staff in assisting applicants is not considered in the costs that have been shown. Councilmember Kasper said he would not be willing to work on these fees unless the Council is willing to work on the question of appeal fees at the same time. If the City is going to use a cost basis for setting fees, that cost basis should be used for appeals, also. He suggested the appeals should be considered as a separate subject with discussion of both criteria and fees at another I I hearing. Councilmember Jaech stated that some but not all costs should be covered by the City. She I suggested that fees be increased to match the processing costs, a 40-50% increase. Ms. Block responded to further questions from the Council, stating that appeal costs are not included in the figures before the Council and fees for the Hearing Examiner are factored in on those items that automatically· go to the Hearing Examiner. She added that it would be helpful to the Planning Depart- ment if the Council would state a phi.losophical direction. Councilmember Dwyer stated that there is a difference between actual costs and actual minimal costs. He said he understood Councilmember Kasper's concern that greater fees not be imposed on applicants, if greater fees are not imposed on those who oppose the application, and believes it is a philosophy with which the Council must deal. Councilmember Kasper indicated that a policy of recovering costs was discussed and decided in 1980- 1981. Councilmember Dwyer said he had no problem with the City attempting to recover costs incurred in processin~ a routine application; however, discussion of costs for appeals would be a different thing. Councilmember Kasper indicated his willingness to address the fees for processing, but said the Council should address the criteria and fees for appeals in a work session. COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO CONTINUE THE COUNCIL MEETING SINCE, BY ORDINANCE, THE MEETING MUST ADJOURN AT 10:00 P.M. IF NOT CONTINUED BY MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilmember Hall said appeals must be addressed, noting different appeals that are now in process that are costing $300 -$400; however, she noted that discussion of appeals could be separated from discussion of fees for other items. COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, THAT A DISCUSSION OF APPEALS' CRITERIA AND FEES BE SCHEDULED.FOR JULY 24. MOTION CARRIED. In response to questions from the Council, Ms. Block indicated that setting a base fee plus an hourly fee would only be workable when an application is appealed and must go to the Hearing Exam- iner and perhaps to the City Council. She indicated that those items that automatically go to the Hearing Examiner, not on an appeal basis, take the same aount of time for his research after the hearing regardless of the amount of time spent during the hearing. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, APPROVAL OF THE FIGURES IN THE THIRD COLUMN (20% CPI + HEARING EXAMINER COST) OF PAGE ONE OF THE PLANNING DIVISION CURRENT FEES AND PROCESSING COSTS. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, APPROVAL OF THE FIGURES IN THE THIRD COLUMN (20% CPI + HEARING EXAMINER COSTS) OF PAGE TWO EXCEPT THE APPEAL ITEM. MOTION CARRIED. (B) Review of Low Income/Elderly Citizens' Water Discount Rate: Mr. Housler indicated that there has been a decrease in the number of people using this program. He believed that the fixed limits and the increase in CPI as well as social security factors are the most likely reasons. Based on the concerns of the City Council and the Mayor for the financial needs of the citizens. of the community and the findings.of the Finance Director, COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, ADOPTION OF THE REPORT FROM THE FINANCE DIRECTOR DATED JUNE 26, 1984 RE REVIEW OF LOH INCOME/ELDERLY CITIZENS' WATER DISCOUNT RATES. MOTION CARRIED. I I I I I I I June 26, 1984 ~ continued COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO INSTRUCT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO REVISE ORDINANCE 2198. MOTION CARRIED.

Mayor Naughten announced the dedication of the park formerly known as Union Oil Beach on Sunday, July 1, at 12:00 noon, inviting all Councilmembers to attend. The Mayor cancelled the executive session scheduled for the close of the meeting. Mayor Naughten said Mrs. Crow had written to express appreciation for the Private Drive sign installed at their driveway. COUNCIL Councilmember Dwyer reported that the money budgeted for Buildings & Grounds for the Fourth of July will be spent for sani-cans according to Supervisor Felix deMello. Councilmember Dwyer suggested that a name plate be furnished for the Student Representative. Councilmember Dwyer suggested that an invitation rather than a demand be extended to the PUD to address the expired franchise. Councilmember Dwyer asked for discussion during a work session concerning Council theories in funding parks outside the Edmonds City limits. He noted that this arose because of the discussion of the Meadowdale Ballfield during the last Council meeting. Council President Jaech scheduled this subject for July 10. Council member Nordquist yielded his position as .Chairman of the Public Safety Committee because of his present work schedule and the travel involved. He said he would like to continue to serve on the committee, but not as chairman. Council President Jaech asked whether Councilmembers would be riding in the truck or the American Legion automobiles. Councilmembers Dwyer, Kasper, and Ostrom indicated they would use the truck. Council President Jaech asked Parks and Recreation Director Steve Simpson to meet with her Thursday, June 28, to discuss scheduling of the Civic Center Park proposal for a Council .meeting. She asked that future items be scheduled in consideration of the City Attorney's presence. Those items requiring his presence should be scheduled on meetings other than work sessions. She announced that the Council meeting of July 3 is cancelled. Council President Jaech asked the City Clerk to publish the meeting with the Chamber of Commerce on Saturday, July 14, as a special meeting of the City Council. Councilmember Hall reported that Councilmember Dwyer's letter from last week had been sent to the Chief. A meeting will be scheduled with Council member Dwyer and others and the matter wil 1 be brought to Council. Councilmember Hall a~ked that a greater effort be made in the future to contact people when an event is cancelled, such as the dedication that was scheduled prior to the meeting this evening. Several people were unaware of the cancellation. Councilmember Hall said information was handed to her during recess concerning the Cable TV date used in figuring the CPI percentage. Mr. Housler noted that the March 1 date had to be used because the last proposal was submitted on April 16~ 1982, with an effective date of June 1. Councilmember Hall suggested that this would provide one more point of compliance for the Cable company. Councilmember Kasper noted that the Community Services Committee would be meeting at a very late hour because the Council meeting was lasting so long. He informed the Council that the PSCOG meeting regarding fire consolidation is scheduled for Monday, July 30 at 7:30 p.m.in the Plaza Meeting room. Councilmember Kasper asked that all information provided in the Council packets be identified as to its source. Councilmember Kasper asked for a report on the Yost pool cover at the same time the Civic Center bond issue is discussed. Councilmember Ostrom read a letter requesting closure of Ocean Ave. and Water St. during the same hours as closure of Sunset Ave. on July 4. The letter was signed by the eight residents of the streets. In re~ponse to Council questions, Mr. Snyder said the City has the right to regulate streS?t ... use for specific times.and uses. Councilmember Hall questioned how far the City would be willing to go in closure\of streets for the Fourth of July. COUNCILMEMBER OSTROM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILNEMBER DWYER, TO CLOSE OCEAN AVE. AND WATER ST. FROM 6:00 P.M. TO ll :00 P.M. TO ALL BUT RESIDENT VEHICLE TRAFFIC ON JULY 4.
