AND ADOPTING FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW. Councilmember Orvis explained he pulled this item in order to vote no. COUNCILMEMBER MARIN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM R. MOTION CARRIED (4-3), COUNCIL PRESIDENT OLSON AND COUNCILMEMBERS MARIN, WAMBOLT AND MOORE IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBERS ORVIS, PLUNKETT AND DAWSON OPPOSED. ITEM S. NON -REPRESENTED COMPENSATION ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 3611. Councilmember Wambolt indicated his intent to vote no on this item, referencing his previous comments regarding the proposed Non -Represented Compensation (NRC) Plan. He acknowledged the proposed Plan would address employees who have reached the top of their pay range and were no longer eligible for a salary increase, pointing out this was the result of the ranges having a spread between the top and bottom of only 25% rather than the customary 50% and some ranges that were set too high. He pointed out the extent of the modifications to the current plan made the proposed NRC too costly and unacceptable to him. He reiterated two of his major objections; first, some of the proposed increases were too large - five of the nine bands would be increased by more than 20% and one increased 45.6%. He acknowledged employees would not receive these increases at one time but over time their salaries could increase by that amount. Second, of the 41-42 positions that the NRC applied to, only two would be surveyed and the findings of the survey used to adjust the pay scale for the remaining positions. He acknowledged it was an easier process but would likely result in many salaries set at inappropriate levels. Councilmember Wambolt pointed out Human Resources staff did not have compensation expertise and were generalists. He cited the need to hire a compensation consultant to provide the necessary expertise as well as the impartiality necessary to develop an objective policy. He noted funds were budgeted for a compensation study and anticipated using a compensation consultant would result in a better policy as well as provide a learning experience for staff. He hoped a new policy would emphasize merit pay, noting the current and proposed plan were not structured around pay for performance. He acknowledged a new salary plan may result in better compensation for a few positions; this was acceptable to him as long as the plan was rational and fair to employees and taxpayers. He cited his qualifications to make an independent assessment of the City's salary plan, noting he was a retired corporate executive with over 45 years experience administering employee salaries. COUNCILMEMBER MARIN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON, FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM S. Councilmember Moore asked staff to respond to Councilmember Wambolt's comment regarding the increases being too large, particularly the 45.6% increase, and the length of time it would take for the increases to escalate that much. Human Resources Manager Debi Humann responded she was unsure Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes May 8, 2007 Page 3 Packet Page 5 of 192 how Councilmember Wambolt had calculated that percentage. She noted the difference between the top and the bottom was not a percentage but a flat dollar amount between bands. In response to Councilmember Wambolt's comment that only two jobs would be surveyed, Ms. Humann explained one of the difficulties with the previous L5 compensation plan was the lack of internal evaluation; all evaluations were done via outside benchmarking. One of the improvements via the NRC was the addition of an internal component. She agreed outside benchmarking would only be done for the top paid job and the lowest paid job; the remainder would be internally evaluated and banded by responsibility level. She disagreed with Councilmember Wambolt's comment that the compensation plan was not related to merit increases, noting employees were eligible to receive a 1-5% merit increase based on performance and goals defined in the previous year's evaluation. Councilmember Moore inquired about the compensation expertise of staff versus a consultant. Ms. Humann agreed she was a generalist, noting with only two staff members in the Human Resources Department, they handled every aspect of human resources for all employees. With regard to her experience in compensation, she cited her common sense and experience in applying the L5 policy and previous salary plans. She has a background in compensation but was not a specialist. She cited reasons against the use of a consultant including that the $50,000 - $100,000 for a consultant to develop a plan would result in limited funds to implement the plan. The NRC was developed with the assistance of the Directors and the Mayor and was a plan that worked for everyone and a plan that the City could afford. Councilmember Moore asked whether other cities conducted similar surveys. Ms. Humann answered approximately 50% of other cities were not happy with their compensation plan that functioned like the L5 due to the difficulty finding similar jobs during surveys. She noted surveys strive for a 70% match which was difficult for Edmonds because so many of the City's positions were unique due to the way the City was staffed. Councilmember Wambolt commented the City's compensation plan was clearly not merit based, pointing out for an employee who received a 5% pay increase, 4% was a cost of living adjustment (COLA) and 1% was merit pay. Conversely employees paid via a merit -based plan did not receive a COLA. With regard to the 45.6% increase, he referred to jobs in Band C that were currently paid as low as $76,421 and the new top salary of $102,000 - the difference between the two was 46.5%. He agreed although there were some differences in jobs between cities, but did not anticipate it would be difficult to find a 70% match between the City's positions and another city. Using Assistant Police Chief Gannon as an example, Councilmember Dawson commented if it came to the Human Resources staff's attention that the salary for that position was increasing or decreasing, staff could do a benchmark survey for that position and/or make an adjustment to the NRC Plan. Ms. Humann agreed periodic benchmark assessments would be necessary to avoid the loss of employees. Councilmember Dawson commented although a survey would be done of only the highest and lowest paid positions, there would be periodic verification of other positions to ensure the salary ranges were competitive. Ms. Humann agreed. Councilmember Dawson asked if the merit increase was in addition to a COLA. Ms. Humann stated yes, noting that it was less than the increases in L5. In L5, employees received a COLA as well as a 0-5% merit based on performance. Under the NRC, the merit increase was 0-3%; only a few outstanding employees would receive a 4-5% merit increase. Councilmember Dawson summarized the NRC had both a merit base and COLA. Ms. Humann explained all employees received a COLA in January; on their anniversary date, they received a merit increase unless they were at the maximum in the range. Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes May 8, 2007 Page 4 Packet Page 6 of 192 Councilmember Dawson asked whether it was typical for governmental entities to have both a COLA and merit based component to their salary plans. Ms. Humann answered yes, noting several cities had a provision whereby employees at the maximum level could earn additional pay; Edmonds did not have such a provision. She emphasized the last L5 survey for non -represented employees was conducted in 2005, therefore, their salaries were based on 2005 salary ranges plus the 2007 COLA. She noted non - represented employees were key managerial staff and the union employees they supervised received annual increases as well as longevity pay and overtime which often results in a serious salary compression issue where supervisors would soon earn less than the employees they supervised. Councilmember Dawson inquired about Ms. Humann's discussion with other cities regarding the NRC Plan. Ms. Humann stated several cities were interested in the Plan as it contained the basic components they were interested in such as outside benchmarking, internal evaluation, banding jobs by responsibility levels and was easy to administer. Councilmember Dawson acknowledged the NRC plan may/may not require correction in the future and agreed it was time to move forward with the proposed NRC Plan. Council President Olson agreed with Councilmember Dawson, emphasizing the L5 plan no longer worked. She was interested in trying the NRC plan and making adjustments as needed in the future. She concluded the NRC was definitely better than L5. Councilmember Moore expressed her support for the proposed NRC due to the amount of work staff had put into developing the plan, the ability to administer the plan by the City's 2-member Human Resources staff, and to ensure non -represented employee's salaries kept pace with the employees they supervised. She viewed the NRC as a merit plan, acknowledging that although private industry did not do COLA, it was standard operating procedure in governmental entities. Councilmember Wambolt clarified he did not say City employees did not deserve a pay increase from 2005 levels; he simply wanted the increase to be the right amount. He pointed out the difficulty of adopting a plan and making adjustments in the future particularly lowering an employee's salary. He reiterated the NRC was not a merit -based plan, commenting the apparent lack of understanding regarding compensation policies reinforced the need for a compensation consultant. He reiterated there was $75,000 budgeted for a compensation consultant. Mayor Haakenson commented he had also been involved in the corporate sector, emphasizing the corporate world was not the same as City business. He pointed out of the 250 City employees, the NRC affected only 50 employees who were not represented by unions and had no one else to represent them other than the Council. He emphasized although L5 worked well for a period of time, it did not work now and it was time to make a change to take care of 20% of the City's workforce. He offered to have Ms. Humann report to the Council in one year on the experience with the NRC Plan. UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION CARRIED (4-3), COUNCIL PRESIDENT OLSON AND COUNCILMEMBERS DAWSON, MOORE AND MARIN IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBERS WAMBOLT, PLUNKETT AND ORVIS OPPOSED. The item approved is as follows: ORDINANCE NO. 3644 — AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 3611 WHICH ESTABLISHED THE SALARY RANGES FOR NON -REPRESENTED, EXEMPT PERSONNEL FOR BUDGET YEAR 2007. 3. PROCLAMATION IN HONOR OF OLDER AMERICANS MONTH, MAY 2007 Mayor Haakenson read a Proclamation declaring May 2007 as Older Americans Month and presented the Proclamation to Farrell Fleming, Executive Director, South County Senior Center. Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes May 8, 2007 Page 5 Packet Page 7 of 192 Mr. Fleming introduced John Wagner, Board of Directors President, in the audience. Mr. Fleming commented on the under -utilization of seniors in the community, noting their experience and wisdom was often under -appreciated and their potential often overlooked. He noted the Edmonds City Council had two members who qualified as seniors and Mayor Haakenson was approaching that landmark. The age at which a person became an "older American" varied, AARP identified it as age 50; historically senior centers define membership at age 55, however, the South County Senior Center no longer had a defined age. He noted if age 60 was the age at which one became an older citizen, most individuals had 20-30 years of life remaining. Both society and senior centers were exploring what the purpose of one's remaining years could be, whether it was community service, service to one's family, spiritual growth, learning new skills, exploring the arts, playing joyfully, or enjoying the simple things in life. He urged individuals of all ages to make choices that led to a healthier future. 4. UPDATE BY COMMUNITY TRANSIT ON "SWIFT" BUS RAPID TRANSIT Todd Morrow, Director of Public Affairs, Community Transit, referred to an information sheet regarding routes in Edmonds. He introduced June Devoll, Manager of Strategic Planning; Tom Pierce, Public Information Specialist, and Barbara Earl, Public Outreach, BETS Consulting. Mr. Morrow explained they were visiting City Councils along Hwy. 99 to provide an update on Swift Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). He explained Swift BRT combined the attributes of a commuter rail system with less expensive and more flexible rubber -tired buses. BRT systems are operating in Los Angeles, Boston, Orlando, Las Vegas and Eugene, Oregon. He identified the primary components of BRT: • Fast and frequent service • Fewer stops • Stations versus bus stops • Advanced technology • Dedicated lanes • Train -like vehicles Mr. Morrow identified the 16.7 mile Swift route from the Everett station down Rucker Avenue, Evergreen Way and Hwy. 99 to the Aurora Village Transit Center in Shoreline. Currently local service along that route took 73 minutes; Swift would take 51 minutes, eliminating approximately 31 % of the travel time. He assured local service on this corridor would continue. Mr. Morrow enumerated factors that would improve travel time: • 14 stops in each direction (compared with 50+ stops on the route currently) • Off -board fare collection • Buses with three doors • Station dwell time reduced to 10-15 seconds • Buses running every 10 minutes eliminating the need for schedules Swift would use stations rather than bus stops. He displayed examples of BRT stations, explaining each would be uniquely designed and would be visible along the corridor via an iconic marker that identified it as a Swift station versus a local bus stop. There would also be signage to assist first-time users and identify how Swift connected to local service. Stations would have real time monitors identified wait times and ticket vending machines. He displayed a drawing of a Swift bus, explaining the Swift vehicle would be branded with the Swift logo and have many other features not available on standard buses such as space for riders to stand, wide comfortable seats and automatic stop announcements. Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes May 8, 2007 Page 6 Packet Page 8 of 192 Mr. Morrow explained next steps include selection of a bus manufacturer by summer 2007, ongoing efforts to identify station locations, final stations design, public outreach via four community meetings held this summer, and a partnership with Everett Transit on stations and operations. Mr. Morrow summarized Edmonds was an important partner in the Swift BRT project. Former Transportation Engineer Don Sims participated on the interagency work group and Community Transit continued to work with City Engineer Dave Gebert, Assistant City Engineer Don Fiene, Development Services Director Duane Bowman, and Public Works Director Noel Miller. He noted this was a landmark project for Edmonds, Snohomish County and Community Transit as Swift leads the region into the future of transportation. Councilmember Moore commented this was the closest thing to light rail at a fraction of the cost. She commended Community Transit on their partnership with Everett Transit and for the in-house design of the Community Transit logo and Swift logo. 5. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Dave Page, Edmonds, commented on the economic opportunity the City had as the friendliest town in Washington State. He commented on the corruption in many areas of the country compared to the compassion of the Edmonds community. He recalled comments made at Police Chief Stem's memorial service about his integrity, noting Chief Stern only knew one way to do things - the right way. He pointed out everyone knew the right way but may bend the rules to their advantage. He summarized Edmonds was not only the friendliest town but was also free of corruption, attributes the city should capitalize on. Al Rutledge, Edmonds, urged the Council to vote on term limits for the mayor in January, noting term limits would be considered by the legislature next year. Next he suggested the City survey residents with regard to a City Manager, pointing out Bothell, Brier, Mountlake Terrace, and Snohomish had City Managers. He then commented on the loss of the City's Fire Chief 11 years ago. With regard to public comment, he recommended speakers be required to give their name and address. 6. MAYOR'S COMMENTS Mayor Haakenson reported the State's capital budget contained $1 million for the Edmonds Center for the Arts via Building for the Arts, $200,000 for the South County Senior Center, $500,000 toward acquisition of the former Woodway Elementary School and $100,000 toward the purchase of the Shell Creek property acquisition. In the transportation portion of the capital budget, the Edmonds Crossing received $4.004 million for right-of-way acquisition and $438,000 for the Puget Drive pedestrian walkway/bicycle safety program. He advised a ferry work group would be established to implement HB 2358, a bill that states no terminal projects can proceed until ridership demand forecasts were reconciled and pricing strategies developed and reviewed, surveys conducted to gather data on ferry users and to help inform operational and pricing strategies and pre -design studies. He hoped there would be an opportunity on the work group for the City to participate. He recognized lobbyist Mike Doubleday for his assistance in the legislature this year. Mayor Haakenson referred to the Council's discussion regarding a strategic plan that espoused the Council's vision for the future, advising staff had begun a six-month effort to study more efficient operations in each department. He suggested it may be timely for the Council to begin a strategic planning effort that would occur concurrently with staff s study. Upon completion of both staff s and the Council's study, the two could be blended for use in the 2009-2010 budget process. Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes May 8, 2007 Page 7 Packet Page 9 of 192 Mayor Haakenson offered his thanks on behalf of the City and the Police Department for the kindness and sympathy shown on the untimely passing of Police Chief Stern. He expressed appreciation for the amazing outpouring of support from neighboring law enforcement, Fire Departments and the community. 7. COUNCIL COMMENTS Council President Olson advised the Council would continue not to require speakers to provide their address as it was a security issue. Councilmember Moore commented she was challenged by someone recently who heard she was not planning to run for reelection to do something about the strategic plan before she left office. She suggested scheduling a discussion on an upcoming agenda, noting she had several ideas with regarding to a strategic plan. Councilmember Moore suggested Police Chief Stem's memorial service be aired on Channel 21, commenting it was a great story of a man, a family and a community. Mayor Haakenson advised that was the plan once a DVD of the service was obtained. Councilmember Moore referred to a letter to the Edmonds Beacon editor that gambling would follow if taller buildings were allowed in Edmonds. Councilmember Moore disagreed with this logic and urged voters not to listen to that type of rhetoric. She emphasized gambling was a dead issue in Edmonds. She noted taller buildings had been an issue for the past four years; however the issue was over 36 inches, not high rise buildings. Councilmember Wambolt referred to a letter to the editor complaining about the pizza trailer near the ferry holding lanes. His observation revealed it looked fine and was nearly hidden from view. Councilmember Dawson provided an update on items she was working on with regard to domestic violence, reporting a bill that made strangulation a felony in the State of Washington had been approved as was a bill that made any violation of a no -contact order could be prosecuted criminally. Councilmember Plunkett thanked those responsible for Police Chief Stem's memorial service, commenting it was a great service to Chief Stern and the community. With regard to letters to the editor, Councilmember Plunkett commented he enjoyed robust debate. He encouraged citizens to express their views with regard to gambling, taller buildings, more parks, more sidewalks, development of a strategic plan, etc. Councilmember Marin reported the Snohomish County Tomorrow Steering Committee unanimously approved annexation principles that have now been forwarded to the Snohomish County Council. He also reported on the Steering Committee's efforts to encourage Snohomish County staff to develop standards with regard to Low Density Multi -family Residential (LDMR) projects. County staff developed numerous changes that were approved by the Steering Committee and would be referred to the Snohomish County Council. He provided an example of a change that would require 15 feet between buildings to allow the Fire Department to use a ladder to access an upper story. He expressed his appreciation to Snohomish County staff for their efforts. Councilmember Marin displayed a photograph of the tunnel boring machine breaking through in Seattle. He noted this was not only Sound Transit's tunnel, but the region's tunnel due to the traffic relief that light rail would provide. He relayed that he had ridden transit a record number of times over the past week, riding Sounder once and buses 28 times and found riding transit quite enjoyable. He commented Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes May 8, 2007 Page 8 Packet Page 10 of 192 with 3.5% inflation, the current $3.33 cost of a gallon of gas would increase to $7.90 per gallon in 20 years. He pointed out the importance of mass transit to the future of the region. Mayor Haakenson referred to an email he received from a person upset with his support of Sounder and questioning the ridership on Sounder. Mayor Haakenson asked Councilmember Marin at a future meeting to describe the original ridership, current ridership and future projections. With no further business, the Council meeting was adjourned at 8:11 p.m. Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes May 8, 2007 Page 9 Packet Page 11 of 192 AM-985 2.C.

Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Approve the City's entering into consultant selection negotiations with Bechtel and DynamicCity for preparation of a broadband business plan at a not to exceed cost of $25,000. Previous Council Action The 2006 budget contained $120,000 to link City fiber with the Westin in Seattle, and study the feasibility of a city-wide broadband network. In December the City issued a broadband RFI, and eight firms were selected for final interviews. Bechtel and DynamicCity have been selected as finalists. Of the $120,000 budget for this project, $85,000 has been appropriated to date, and of the $85,000 is an unspent balance of approximately $35,000. The Finance Committee approved this recommendation at its May 8 meeting. Narrative As noted above, Bechtel and DynamicCity have been selected as finalists in the City's broadband RFI process. The next step in this project is to determine the financial viability of constructing a community wide broadband system by preparating of a detailed business plan. Both finalists have provided excellent, yet different approaches to meeting the vision provided in the RFI. For this reason, staff are recommending asking for business plan preparation proposals from both finalists. Responses will be reviewed by the CTAC Committee, and a recommendation and final contract will be presented to Council for their consideration. At its May 3 meeting, the CTAC Committee requested that staff present this proposal to the Finance Committee at their May 8 meeting.

Overview The City is about to enter the final stages of determining whether or not to proceed with its Broadband Initiative. This Initiative would see the construction of a City-wide municipal broad band network that would, when fully completed, offer high speed internet access to residents and businesses throughout the City. One of the key elements need to assess the viability of this proposal is preparation of a thorough business plan. As noted above, this paper will hopefully provide a framework for preparation of this document. We have attempted to describe several market segments which we have not seen addressed in other business plan studies. If viable, these segments would provide broader financial support. At this juncture there are two potentially separate business case scenarios: 1.) Use of a city-wide broadband network for city government purposes; and 2.) Use of a city-wide broadband network by residents and businesses. Each business case element will be examined with these two uses in mind. Proiect Goals The City's broadband initiative is unique in that it has primarily been a community driven effort, as opposed to a local government initiated program. The four goals of this effort are: 1. Generate replacement revenues for City government; 2. Save dollars for residents, businesses, and municipal government; 3. Provide better service than is both currently available, and will be available in five years; 4. Reduce carbon emissions associated with City businesses and activities. Following the discussion of each business element there is a matrix which lists the potential goals the element might meet. The business case elements has been developed and "bundled" into four key areas: direct dollar savings, communications, data management, and triple play. The balance of this correspondence will provide a brief description of specific business case elements, grouped in each "bundle." Direct Savings The direct dollar savings bundle includes business elements that have the potential of dropping the cost of business both for the City and residents/businesses located within Edmonds. Packet Page 79 of 192 Edmonds Broadband Business Case White Paper Smart Metering This business case would examine the pro's and con's of moving to smart electrical and water metering systems. Field meters would transmit consumption and other information back to a central location. The advantages of this type of system are that customers could access their consumption information on-line, and modify their consumption habits to take advantage of off-peak usage. Many utilities structure their rates so that customers who consume water or power outside of peak demand periods receive a rate discount. Additionally, the need for meter readers driving through different meters would be eliminated. The ability to manage service turn-ons and offs would also eliminate the need for service personnel to drive to customers in order to perform these tasks. It would also greatly simplify what is presently a labor intensive process. The business case analysis would estimate cost savings and compare them against the capital costs of replacing meters. It might also make sense to see if it is feasible to partner with the Snohomish County Public Utility District to see if a contractor might be able to replace both water and electrical meters in a single visit. Generate Revenue Save Dollars Better Service Carbon Negative T-1/PRI to Fiber The second potential area of direct dollar savings is migrating from telephone T-1 and PRI lines and running voice and data communications over the broadband fiber system. This business case represents a fairly clean cost savings for both the City and businesses. T-1 and PRI lines lease for $500 per month. The City presently leases 6 lines, and area businesses will lease a varying number depending on their communications needs. The annual City cost is approximately $36,000. The business case approach would be to compare the cost savings of dropping leased lines against any new capital costs such as routers, etc. Generate Revenue Save Dollars Better Service Carbon Negative Page 2 Packet Page 80 of 192 Edmonds Broadband Business Case White Paper Communications The Communications business bundle centers on establishing wireless networks throughout key areas in the City. There is currently a preliminary effort by public safety agencies in Snohomish County that is examining the feasibility of a wireless networks for police and fire agencies. The basic business concept would be to expand the use to City employees who work in the field, and who currently must return to a central site for work orders, notes, information, etc. At the same time, a Community Open wireless network would be made available to the general public. Public Safety The Edmonds Police Department has discussed using wireless applications in the following areas: 1.) Up -loading incident reports wirelessly so that officers can spend more time in the field on police related activities; 2.) Up -loading video feeds from vehicles; and 3.) For use in video and security surveillance. The business case analysis would contrast increased patrol time made available against capital costs for vehicle based routers and other capital expenses. Generate Revenue Save Dollars Better Service Carbon Negative General Gov't Applications which might be of assistance to general governmental field workers might include: 1.) Public works crews ability to receive field and work orders off -site; 2.) Permit inspection information; and 3.) Ability to directly view cameras scanning sewer and storm systems. As was the case with public safety, the business case analysis would contrast increased productivity against capital costs. Generate Revenue Save Dollars Better Service Carbon Negative Open Wireless The vision for an open community wireless network is for the general public to be able to have free wireless access, for a limited period of time, in key public locations. These might include the downtown shopping area, waterfront, ferry traffic holding lanes, etc. Several communities have helped fund these types of open wireless systems by selling advertising and services that appear on an initial log -on splash screen. This may be of particular relevance to cross -Sound ferry commuters. Page 3 Packet Page 81 of 192 Edmonds Broadband Business Case White Paper Generate Revenue Save Dollars Better Service Carbon Negative V NO Data Management The third business case bundle is Data Management. This refers to the unique ability of fiber optic cable to transfer large data files. Back -Up Both the City and local businesses have the need to back up large amounts of data and transactions to off -site, secure locations. A local networks operations center has indicated they would charge approximately $200 per month for storing 25 gigabytes of data. We have had a number of individuals suggest that there may be a market for residential data storage. The concept is that as more and more families take digital pictures, digital video, and create digital music libraries it may be less expensive and more convenient to back up this data in a manner similar to the practice companies use. The business case approach would be to examine the market for high speed data transfer and storage, and compare this against any new capital or operational costs. Generate Revenue Save Dollars Better Service Carbon Negative Video Arraignment A second Data Management use would be the potential of moving to video arraignments for our police and prosecutors. Currently these individuals must drive to the County courthouse or jail to take part in arraignments. This system would allow for arraignments to take place locally via video feed. The business case would examine the labor and transportation savings balanced against additional capital and maintenance and operating expenses. Generate Revenue Save Dollars Better Service Carbon Negative File Transfer Stevens' Hospital is located within the City of Edmonds. The medical industry has the need to transfer large data files among different providers. This business case element would assess the feasibility of transferring Page 4 Packet Page 82 of 192 Edmonds Broadband Business Case White Paper images such as MRI's and CAT scans directly from imaging facilities to physician's clinics and offices. The business case study would examine the market potential for medical direct data transfer and storage, and contrast it with capital and operating costs. Generate Revenue Save Dollars Better Service Carbon Negative Tr�ple Play The fourth bundle of services to be examined in a business plan is providing internet service, internet phone, and high definition television to the community. This would be the largest and most complex of the various business bundles to be included in a business plan. The business case would examine the potential market, penetration rates, and revenue generated. This would be compared to the capital costs associated with constructing the system, as well as the annual maintenance and operating expenses. This area is one that is the least familiar to the City, and one where we would be looking to the contractor to provide a full business case assessment. For our area, however, the analysis should include the ramifications of offering program options that more closely meet community needs. Of particular interest is local programming related to South Snohomish County, as differentiated from the Seattle media market. Generate Revenue Save Dollars Better Service Carbon Negative Closing Comments & Attachment Hopefully the material contained in this document will be of use in approaching an analysis of the various elements that will be addressed in a business case analysis regarding whether or not the City should proceed with its community broadband initiative, and if a decision is made to proceed, which market segments should be addressed. Attached is a business study matrix that lists the bundles and business elements discussed in this paper. We would anticipate that the business study would provide the City with well thought out analysis that would enable us to place quantifiable figures in the remaining cells.

Ga y Ha nson, Mayor May 7, 2 Packet Page 87 of 192 AM-984 Police Week Proclamation Edmonds City Council Meeting Date: Submitted By: Submitted For: Department: Review Committee: Action: 05/15/2007 Linda Carl Gary Haakenson Mayor's Office Information Time: 5 Minutes Type: Information Subject Title Proclamation in honor of Police Week, May 13 - 19, 2007. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Previous Council Action Narrative 3. On May 15, 1982, the first National Peace Officers' Memorial Day Service was held. Activities during National Police Week now include the annual Candlelight Vigil at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and COPS' (Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc.) National Police Survivors' Seminars, as well as the National Peace Officers' Memorial Day Service. In October 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed into law the legislation that allowed the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund to begin raising money for an appropriate monument in Washington, DC, honoring the fallen law enforcement officers of America. Now survivors have three reasons to come to Washington, DC, during National Police Week: 1. To hear the name of their fallen officer read at the National Peace Officers' Memorial day Service on May 15 2. To share their burden of grief with other survivors at the National Police Survivors' Seminars 3. To see the name of their loved one engraved on the Walls of Remembrance at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. While police agencies may have celebrated National Police Week on the local level years ago, today there is a new heightened awareness of National Police Week. COPS distributes a half million blue ribbons for law enforcement agencies to tie to their car antennas to call national attention to this day; the U.S. Congress has passed legislation that allows the U.S. flag to be flown at half staff on May 15; numerous police organizations hold memorial services locally, regionally, and on a statewide level during that week; and police departments may have open houses, SWAT team demonstrations, etc. to promote National Police Week. This is the one week during the year when law enforcement honors their fallen officers and makes the citizens of America aware that every 57 hours another law enforcement officer gives up his or her life for perfect strangers.

Amendments include deleting cats from the exemption of roaming at large as well as requiring licensing of cats. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff N/A Previous Council Action On March 27, 2007 the Edmonds City Council passed Ordinance 3634 worded as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, AMENDING THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 5.05 OF THE EDMONDS CITY CODE RELATING TO ANIMAL CONTROL BY AMENDING SECTION 5.05.010 TO ADD A NEW DEFINITION FOR "PET" AND ADDING A NEW SECTION 5.05.110 CRIMES RELATED TO THE CONFINEMENT OF ANOTHER'S ANIMAL AND FIXING A TIME WHEN THE SAME SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE. (Exhibit 1) Councilmember Moore requested that a discussion be placed on the April 17, 2007 Council Agenda amending provisions of City Code Chapter 5.05 relating to Animal Control. The discussion included deleting cats from the exemption of roaming at large as well as requiring licensing of cats. At the April 17, 2007 Council meeting there was a consensus of the Council to bring back the proposed amendments to City Code Chapter 5.05 relating to Animal Control which would include deleting cats from the exemption of roaming at large as well as requiring licensing of cats for a public hearing. (Exhibit 2, 3, 4, and 5) Narrative Per Council consensus, a Public Hearing on proposed amendments to Edmonds City Code Chapter 5.05 relating to Animal Control which amendments include deleting cats from the exemption of roaming at large as well as requiring licensing of cats will be heard during this evening's Council Meeting.

Councilmember Moore expressed her gratitude to the citizens serving as volunteers on the CTAC. She found this to be the most important initiative the City has seen in a long time. With regard to what CTAC wanted the Council to do next, she asked if they planned to bring it to the Community Outreach Committee or to the full Council. He commented several Councilmembers attend CTAC meetings, thus they have had good input from the Council. He suggested the process could possibly include discussion by the Finance Committee prior to consideration by the full Council. Mr. Preecs explained .the goal had always been not just to establish the infrastructure but to identify how to use that infrastructure to promote civic and cultural aspects of the community as .well as the practice of government. Council President Pro Tern Wambolt, who serves on the CTAC along with Mayor Pro Tem Olson, acknowledged when this effort first began he was skeptical until he discovered the members of the CTAC knew what they were doing. He noted the members were very capable people with years of experience who were spending a great deal of their own time on this effort. He expressed his thanks to the CTAC for the time they were donating to the community. Amend Code 6. PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 5.05 OF THE Provisions re: AnimalControl EDMONDS CITY CODE RELATING TO ANIMAL CONTROL Animal C City Attorney Scott Snyder advised this matter was returned to the Council at their direction. He recalled on February 20, the Council directed the preparation of an ordinance that specifically precluded the trapping of pets and companion animals and provided protections with an amendment to provide for a professional trapping option which he assumed from Council discussion would be via the City's Animal Control process. He explained the Council's direction presented several drafting challenges: 1) The difficulty for the City's Prosecutor to prove a pet was intentionally trapped. To address this in the ordinance, he provided a range of penalties. The intentional trapping of a pet by another would be a gross misdemeanor with the penalty of a year in jail and $1000 fine. Negligent confinement, leaving an animal in a trap, would also be a misdemeanor. 2) Imposing criminal penalties on activities that are clearly prohibited under civil laws of the State. The City as a code city has the authority to impose those limitations, if a problem arises, the courts defer to that judgment and findings are rarely overturned. He explained the ordinance would remove the most effective tool that a real property owner had to protect his/her property from trespass. 3) Although the City has 7-day per week animal control coverage, it was not 24-hour a day coverage and the Animal Control Officers also provide services to another City by Interlocal Agreement as well as serve as parking enforcement. He noted both the public and Council have expressed a Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes March 27, 2007 EXHIBIT 1 Page Packet Page 100 of 192 concern with releasing an animal from the trap and the possibility of Animal Control Officers leaving a trap unattended for 12-14 hours raised issues. Mr. Snyder explained the ordinance he drafted allowed the City's Animal Control Officers to trap and fulfill their duties with regard to 'feral cats and injured animals. The ordinance includes an extensive section on the use of private contractors and provides a process for property owners that includes notifying the neighbor if the ownership of the trespassing pet is known, sending a letter to the neighborhood if ownership is unknown, and once that had been accomplished, authorizing property owners to utilize a private contractor list to trap an animal. He noted the process for identifying contractors would be similar to the City's process for identifying towing companies. He pointed out the difficulty of providing trapping as a service under the City's existing levels; the intent of the draft ordinance was to avoid a budgetary impact. He explained after a pet owner was notified their animal was trespassing and did not take reasonable steps to keep the animal at home, the pet owner could be guilty of a civil infraction. He noted although the property owner would have to pay the cost of trapping initially, a judge would have the ability to assess the costs of trapping to the pet owner. Mr. Snyder acknowledged this was much more than the Council asked for; however, the short approach would do nothing more than provide an illusion of control. He advised a more limited version, Version B, was also provided that had no pet owner responsibilities. With regard to a question regarding the definition of pet, Mr. Snyder advised the definition was taken from the Webster's dictionary. He advised that staff s recommendation remains the same, finding there was insufficient public issue to justify regulation and view it as involving the City in essentially a neighbor dispute between a pet owner and a real property owner. To provide a legislative history in the event of a challenge, he requested the Council emphasize in their discussion the public benefit to be obtained and the problem to be solved. Councilmember Dawson commented whether or not the City enacted an ordinance that established the responsibilities of a pet owner, the law still applied and a real property owner could civilly sue a pet owner. Mr. Snyder agreed. Councilmember Dawson noted if the Council did not adopt Version B, they would not be abrogating common law that required people not allow their animals to trespass on another's property. Mr. Snyder agreed. He explained another problem with drafting the ordinance was unless it was a crime for a cat to roam at large, a cat was not doing anything illegal by roaming at large, thus there were constitutional issues with authorizing the City's Animal Control Officer to trap to abate a civil nuisance. It would need to be a criminal or public nuisance to involve Animal Control personnel. Councilmember Dawson recommended if the Council chose to adopt Version B, the portion of the title in Section 5.05.110 "and the abatement of private nuisances" be deleted. Mr. Snyder agreed. Councilmember Dawson commented although this was an issue that did not arise with any frequency, now that it had arisen, she feared the public may believe it was acceptable to trap pets which she did not want to allow. If the Council did not want to allow trapping, she asked whether staff recommended the Council adopt Version A or B. She noted Version A was more detailed and may be overkill and may require more staff time to do an RFQ, etc. Police Chief David Stern recommended the less cumbersome option, Version B. He noted Version A created specific intent crimes that required a particular state of mind at the time the crime was committed. In his experience few prosecutions would occur under that statute. He noted there was no significant history of this type of action in the City, this was the first one he was aware of and the only one the City's 20-year Animal Control Officer was aware of. For Councilmember Dawson, Chief Stern confirmed staff felt Version A which included the ability to contract with a trapping service was unnecessary. In addition, he was only aware of one potential contractor who would qualify to trap animals. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes March 27, 2007 Page 6 Packet Page 101 of 192 Councilmember Dawson asked if there had been instances where a person had intentionally trapped their neighbor's pet for ill intent. She noted trapping and torture of animals was an indicator of more violent behavior. Chief Stern acknowledged there were people without the values most of the community had with regard to pets but that was an infrequent occurrence. Councilmember Dawson commented if someone were intentionally trapping animals, it would be a public safety concern that could be addressed. Chief Stern agreed. Councilmember Marin questioned the merits of option A and B versus an Option D which would be to do nothing and retain the existing provisions. Chief Stern answered due to the infrequent nature of this incident, the existing provisions were adequate to address the situation. He assured staff would carry out whatever direction the Council provided. Animal Control Officer Debbie Dawson answered Animal Control handled a variety of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, and chickens every day, and all were handled the same within the laws of the City. Any animal running at large was subject to enforcement action. If a person has an animal on their property, they often call Animal Control and they pick up the animal. She summarized their role was to protect pets; if the regulations were not changed, they would continue to pick up all types of pets. Mr. Snyder commented when Mr. Martin first brought his complaints forward, Chapter 50.5 was being amended. There had previously been authorization to provide traps. Staff determined that was no longer in the ordinance and removed the statement from the City's website and stopped providing traps. Councilmember Plunkett commented under Version B very little change would occur other than a person could not trap animals and therefore a person would either call Animal Control or humanely shoo the cat away. He asked whether staff had only been called out once in 20 years to deal with a cat. Chief Stern clarified 40% of the Animal Control calls were in regard to cats, predominately stray cats; this was the first case involving these specific issues. If trapping were prohibited, Councilmember Plunkett did not envision an increase in Animal Control's workload. Chief Stern also did not anticipate any significant increase. Councilmember Plunkett commented in Version B it was still permissible for people to trap stray/feral/wild cats for the purpose of caring for them. Mr. Snyder answered that was allowed in both ordinances. For Council President Pro Tem Wambolt, Chief Stern advised 40% of Animal Control's calls were related to cats, 59% were related to dogs and 1 % to rabbits, goats, guinea pigs, etc. Council President Pro Tem Wambolt assumed some of the calls regarding cats involved a resident complaining about a neighbor's cat in their yard. Chief Stern agreed that did occur. Council President Pro Tem Wambolt assumed staff was able to adequately satisfy the parties involved using the existing ordinance. Chief Stern agreed they were. COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PLUNKETT, m FOR APPROVAL OF VERSION B VIA ORDINANCE NO. 3634 WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE LANGUAGE MR. SNYDER AGREED SHOULD BE STRICKEN IN REGARD TO THE ABATEMENT OF PRIVATE NUISANCES. Councilmember Dawson urged the Council to support Version B, agreeing it would be extremely difficulty to prove someone intentionally trapped a neighbors pet. Although it would be a rare occurrence, this was an opportunity for the Council to send a message that trapping a neighbor's pet was not appropriate and that there were other ways to address the issue. She noted a cat leash law was not the issue. As a cat owner herself, she did not allow her cat outside and believed that was a pet owner's responsibility to keep their cat confined due to the dangers to a pet from wild animals. She opined Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes March 27, 2007 Page 7 Packet Page 102 of 192 Version B allowed the Council to send the message that it was not appropriate to trap animals as a form of abatement, whether as part of a neighborhood dispute or in circumstances where the intent was to maliciously harm the pet. She appreciated Mr. Snyder's effort to draft Version A, however, staff did not find that level of detail necessary. Councilmember Marin spoke against the motion, recalling he was the Chair of the Public Safety Committee when this issue arose. The Committee agreed with'Chief Stern that it was a dispute between neighbors that did not require amendment of the ordinance and should be addressed on a neighbor -to - neighbor level. He preferred to restore the language in the ordinance regarding property rights and protection of the animal which could have been accomplished by Version C. If Version C could not be adopted, he preferred Version D, do nothing and allow neighbors to settle disputes themselves. Councilmember Plunkett commented although the issue arose via a dispute between neighbors, it did not lessen the opportunity for a public policy to address the issue. He preferred it be addressed via ensuring the humane treatment of pets as well as the rights of property owners and stating the obligations of the Police Department. He summarized there was a public policy issue to be resolved, not a dispute between neighbors. He supported Version B due to the larger legislative and community issue. Councilmember Orvis expressed his support for the motion. He advised trapping was legal now; the Public Safety Committee wanted to regulate it and input from the community indicated a desire to ban trapping. He noted the letters the City received were predominately opposed to trapping of cats including one letter that referred to an incident 20 years ago that lead to community meetings, a situation he wanted to avoid. Council President Pro Tem Wambolt commented he had come full circle on this issue; when this was discussed the last time, he supported staff developing further regulation. He now believed nothing needed to be done. Councilmember Moore spoke in favor of the motion for the reasons Councilmember Dawson stated. She noted this began as a neighborhood dispute but had progressed beyond that and became a policy issue. She regretted the relationship between neighbors had been harmed by this issue. Mayor Pro Tem Olson supported Version D, do nothing, pointing out this had not been a problem in the past. She objected to creating more layers of government, more work for Animal Control and for the Council to micromanage operations. If trapping of cats was rampant, she could support changing the ordinance but noted that did not seem to be the case. Councilmember Dawson commented it appeared the three Councilmembers who did not support the motion were not supportive of trapping animals. Thus the City should prohibit trapping if it was not acceptable to the Council. She reiterated the unlikelihood of prosecutions, but found it an appropriate message to send. She suggested Council President Pro Tem Wambolt and Mayor Pro Tem Olson who did not support trapping, consider supporting the motion to send a message that trapping was not appropriate. Mayor Pro Tem Olson pointed out the property owner who had cats coming into their yard did not get much help from the City to address the issue. Councilmember Moore sympathized with people who had cats coming into their yard. She expressed her dislike for cats, noting there had to be a better way to address that situation. UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION CARRIED (4-3), COUNCILMEMBERS ORVIS, MOORE, DAWSON AND PLUNKETT IN FAVOR AND MAYOR PRO TEM OLSON, COUNCIL PRESIDENT PRO TEM WAMBOLT AND COUNCILMEMBER MARIN OPPOSED. The ordinance approved is as follows: Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes March 27, 2007 Page 8 Packet Page 103 of 192 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, AMENDING THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 5.05 OF THE EDMONDS CITY CODE RELATING TO AN ANIMAL CONTROL BY AMENDING SECTION 5.05.010 TO ADD A NEW DEFINITION FOR "PET" AND ADDING A NEW SECTION 5.05.110 CRIMES RELATED TO THE CONFINEMENT OF ANOTHER'S ANIMAL, AND FIXING A TIME WHEN THE SAME SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE. 7. AUDIENCE COMMENTS onfining Cats Mary Leake Schilder, PAWS, Lynnwood, commended the Council for making great strides in this matter and encouraged them to include an educational component. She described PAWS efforts to educate cat owners about the importance of keeping cats "safety confined" so they did not roam free. She described dangers to free -roaming cats including wild predators, cars, parasites, disease, and cruel people. She advised only 3% of cats turned into shelters as strays were returned to their owners. She noted cats who avoided danger were a threat to birds and small wildlife. She described methods for safely confining cats including an outdoor enclosure, install a special addition to a fence to keep the cat in the yard, walk the cat on a leash, provide enrichment for indoor cats and only allow a cat outside when supervised by a human family member. She advocated proper identification for cats including microchips. She noted as more cat owners realized their responsibility to keep their pets confined, Edmonds would see a decline in neighbor disputes, funds spent on animal control services and more families would enjoy the companionship of their pets. Old Woodway Alvin Rutledge, Edmonds, displayed the 1969 Comprehensive Plan. He advised the Hearing Examiner lementarySsite made a decision against the resident group's appeal; the court case for appeal by the Association, Case No. 07203221, would be heard in Snohomish County on May 1. He recommended the buildings on the former Woodway Elementary School site not be demolished until the court case had been concluded. He referred to a letter sent to Chief Stern regarding problems on the former Woodway Elementary School site and Chief Stem's reply that the Police Department would do their best to patrol the area. He erm Limits recommended nothing be done with regard to the property until the issues were cleared up. Next he recommended the Council schedule consideration of term limits on an upcoming agenda. He also ood Drive expressed appreciation to those who supported the Kiwanis Club's food drive last week at Top Foods. rapping of Robert Chaffee, MD, Edmonds, commented he was surprised and disappointed that the Council made a [cats decision before discussion with the public. As the Council had eliminated trapping, he recommended instituting a leash law for cats. He cited problems they encountered from cats digging in their garden, leaving surprises, and killing birds. He noted the bigger problem was feral cats, and the Council had eliminated trapping as a method of rehabilitating feral cats. He quoted a policy statement from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) that encouraged and supported actions to eliminate free roaming, abandoned and feral cats due to the significant impact they had on the mortality of birds, small animals, reptiles, amphibians and fish as well as the spread of disease. The AVMA supported the reduction of the number of free roaming, abandoned and free -roaming cats via humane capture and placement in homes, which he noted was eliminated by the ordinance the Council adopted. The AVMA supports State and local agencies adopting and enforcing ordinances that encourage cats to be kept indoors, in an outdoor enclosure or on a leash. He summarized his goal was not to keep all cats indoors but to control problem cats and their owners and in the long term decrease the number of cats allowed outdoors and help solve the feral cat problem. Changes to James Anable, Jr., Edmonds, an attorney practicing animal law in Seattle, spoke on behalf of Robert Code re: McCallum. He explained the scope of his practice has included drafting and commenting and suggesting Animal Control changes to codes at the state and local level. He referred to the common law regarding trespass, recommending the City strike the exclusion of cats from the at -large provision. He circulated several Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes March 27, 2007 Page 9 Packet Page 104 of 192 photographs of Mr. McCallum's experience with cats in his yard. He explained Mr. McCallum kept quail as pets; after having 16 killed last year, he built a protective enclosure. On Saturday he awoke to find a cat trapped inside the enclosure, raising the issue of whether with the adoption of this ordinance Mr. McCallum would be guilty of the criminal offense of trapping a cat. He recommended placing the burden on the pet owner rather than the property owners that experience trespass. He noted a survey of Woodway, Lynnwood. and Mountlake Terrace indicated they included cats in the at -large provision: He cited dangers to at -large cats, commenting if the City was concerned with cruelty and animal welfare issues, they would regulate cats the same as other animals. Fhan_g_es_to__J Debbie McCallum, Edmonds, expressed concern with granting cats complete freedom to trespass on ode re: Cats Jneighboring property to engage in behavior that polluted parks and yards with animal waste and depleted wildlife, to engage in the offensive behavior of spraying to mark territory, spreading diseases that can be transmitted via soil, and not requiring licenses and tags. She pointed out citizens did not appreciate their well -tended gardens being compromised by cats or discovering the remnants of a bird or small animal, but most attempted to maintain a harmonious relationship with their neighbors. She explained they asked the neighbor on several occasions to keep their cats from their property and were told to get rid of their bird feeders, that the cats' free reign took precedence, that the quality of the cats lives superseded any damage to their property and because there were no laws, they would have to put up with the cats. She summarized it was appropriate for the City to establish at -large restrictions, fines and license fees to apply to domestic cats. She expressed frustration the Council had taken away a property owner's ability to keep a cat off their property. rhanges to Robert McCallum, Edmonds, echoed Debbie's comments, finding the public was treated unfairly Code re: Cats I tonight by not having an opportunity to speak to the Council before the Council made its decision. He referred to the question posed to Animal Control Officer Debbie Dawson, noting when she responded to cat nuisance problems, there was no satisfaction for the property owner because cats were excluded from the at -large provisions. He cited an instance when cats slaughtered his birds in his front yard. He circulated photographs of his yard where they encourage wildlife, birds, and Douglas Squirrels. He questioned his right to request a neighboring property owner keep his cats off his property, explaining he was unsuccessful because there was no law prohibiting them from roaming at -large. He did not advocate trapping cats but questioned how property owners could obtain any satisfaction. He described his efforts to keep the cats off his property, beginning with talking to the neighbor and when that was unsuccessful, setting the trap in accordance with Animal Control's directions. He acknowledged the cat was injured but it was now at home while his birds were dead. He suggested Mayor Haakenson veto the ordinance. hanger to Elisabeth Larman, Edmonds, congratulated the Council on making a difficult decision, to prohibit Code re: Cats trapping. She commented a property owner raising birds had a responsibility to build an enclosure to protect the birds. She complimented Officer Debbie Dawson, describing her efforts to fine a dog owner whose dog attacked her; the dog is now kept on a leash. hanges to Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, pointed out the Council failed to enact a cat license and leash law. He Code re: Cats recommended equal treatment for dogs and cats. Next, he urged the Council to hold a public hearing with ld Woodway regard to parks and specifically the former Woodway Elementary School site before any building lementary site demolition occurred. With regard to the Mayor vetoing the ordinance, he noted Mayor Haakenson could not veto it because he was not present and seemed to be absent quite frequently. He recommended echnology establishing a system for tracking comp time for department directors. With regard to establishing a ommittee broadband system, he did not agree with pursuing such a system due to changes in programs/technology. He questioned whether the CTAC had considered the technology used by Clearwire. rapping Feral Vickie Purretta, Feral Cats Project, commented there were many grassroots organizations involved in au trapping feral cats who have spayed/neutered over 30,000 cats. She pointed out there were humane ways Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes March 27, 2007 Page 10 Packet Page 105 of 192 to trap cats, noting that covering the trap served to calm the animal. She was concerned they would be unable to continue their efforts to spay/neuter the large feral cat population, advising there were 720,000 feral cats in the Puget Sound area. She advised she had assisted with trapping animals in Edmonds at no cost to the City. Councilmember Plunkett assured the ordinance the Council passed did not prohibit trapping of feral cats. Mayor Pro Tem Olson advised Mayor Haakenson was absent because he had the flu. 8. INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL REPORTS ON OUTSIDE COMMITTEEBOARD MEETINGS WRIA 8/ Councilmember Orvis reported the recent meeting of WRIA 8/Salmon Recovery Council included Salmon Recovery election of officers and discussion regarding items that were funded in the past and issues to be resolved ecove by the Legislature. SnoCom / Councilmember Dawson reported SnoCom, the 911 dispatch center for South Snohomish County, was SnoPak continuing efforts regarding interconnectivity with SnoPak. They have applied for a grant to assist with that effort which they learned recently was the granting agency's top priority. She advised a tentative agreement had been reached in an ongoing lawsuit with past employees of the center regarding overtime. ort Council President Pro Tem Wambolt reported on the March 12 and March 26 meetings of the Port Commission ICommission where they approved a 3-year agreement with Northwest Country Management for continued management of Harbor Square and reviewed their financial results for 2006 which indicated the Port had approximately a $2 million profit last year. He advised Woodway honored the Port for receiving the Marina of the Year award. South Mayor Pro Tem Olson reported South Snohomish Cities is holding a dinner on April 26 with the Snohomish ;ties Snohomish County Councilmembers. She urged Edmonds Councilmembers to attend. Sound Transit Councilmember Marin reported the Sound Transit Board was moving toward finalizing the second phase of a ST2 and RTID package and revising their financial policies to allow build out over the next 30 years. He advised Sound Transit was in a public comment period that would help finalize the elements of the final package that will be presented to the voters in November; to date they have received 6,000 Snohomish Co. comments. He reported the Snohomish County Tomorrow Steering Committee was meeting tomorrow to °morn discuss annexation principles that were developed by a subcommittee.

Next he pointed out the CIP included $590,000 for this project; however, the packet identified $380,000 for this project and another page identified $116,000 for the consultant to engineer the project which totaled $532,000, not $590,000. He then referred to page 10 of the March 27 minutes where he suggested enacting cat licenses and holding a public hearing in regard to parks, pointing out both subjects had arisen again. Cat Issues Robert McCallum, Edmonds, was glad the Council planned to revisit the cat at large issue, particularly now that trapping was no longer allowed. He cited three observations of cats in his yard within the past two days. He envisioned if animal control was able to talk to cat owners and convince them to keep their pet on their property, harmony would again reign in the neighborhood. Cat Issues Ray Martin, Edmonds, recommended the Council do what was right for the majority of Edmonds citizens with regard to cats and he would agree with that action assuming the Council did their homework. He recommended the City take action to eliminate the root cause of this neighborhood dispute, the luring and gathering of animals on one property in their neighborhood and its public health ramifications by pdate updating the definition of poultry in the animal ordinance. He pointed out there was no difference Definition of Poultry between quail and other fowl such as chickens, geese, turkeys, ducks, partridges, pheasants, grouse, etc. and their effect on the health of residential zones. He suggested waiting 6-12 months and conducting a survey regarding the public's experience with the revised ordinance. erm Limits Mike Muster, Edmonds, spoke against term limits, stating he did not need anyone to determine who he could/could not vote for. City Code 9. DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING PROVISIONS OF CITY CODE Chapter 5.05, CHAPTER 5.05 RELATING TO ANIMAL CONTROL. DISCUSSION WILL INCLUDE Animal Control DELETING CATS FROM THE EXEMPTION OF ROAMING AT LARGE AS WELL AS (Cats) REQUIRING LICENSING OF CATS. (REQUESTED BY COUNCILMEMBER MOORE.) Councilmember Moore explained she asked this be brought back to the Council to determine whether there were three other Councilmembers interested in striking the exception for cats from the roaming at large provisions in the code. She relayed her research regarding PAWS' support for confining cats and their practice of not adopting out animals to owners who had previously lost a pet due to it not being confined. She cited the Audubon Society's support for confining cats. The most convincing argument she heard in favor of deleting cats from the exemption of roaming at large came from the City's Animal Control Officer Debbie Dawson who supported restricting the movement of cats as 40% of her complaints were in regard to cats roaming at large. Officer Dawson also supported licensing of cats, pointing out cat owners did not support City services although cats represented 40% of the complaints. She also supported licensing to facilitate returning cats to their owners. Councilmember Moore noted although this began as a neighborhood dispute, it had become a bigger issue and the City needed to delete cats from the exemption of roaming at large. She referred to a packet of materials from Robert and Debbie McCallum who listed ten reasons for deleting cats from the exemption of roaming at large: 1) destruction of wildlife, 2) protection of cats, 3) minimizing health risks to humans, 4) ending neighborhood disputes by providing animal control equitable laws for managing domesticated pets, 5) ending the use of neighbor's gardens as litter boxes and cats spraying on private property, 6) educating and instructing minors about the environment and protection of the ecosystem, 7) making the laws uniform, 8) protecting homeowners' real property rights, 9) stopping the explosion of feral cats, and 10) because it was the fair and right thing to do. Councilmember Marin spoke in support of having a public hearing and possibly pursuing further action. He recalled 3-4 years ago when the Council was considering a spay/neuter ordinance, he spent an Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes April 17, 2007 EXHIBIT 2 Page II Packet Page 107 of 192 afternoon with Animal Control Officer Dawson. One of the alarming things to him was the difficulty returning cats to their owners without cat licenses. In addition, recent events have revealed there were many incidences of cats annoying neighbors via trespassing on their property. For Councilmember Plunkett, Council President Olson explained if there were a total of four Councilmembers interested in pursuing deleting cats from the exemption of roaming at large, it would be scheduled for a public hearing. Councilmember Plunkett expressed his support for a public hearing. Council President Olson commented she was in favor of further discussion and advised it would be scheduled for a public hearing on May 15. Councilmember Wambolt suggested the Council also consider the issues Mr. Martin raised, raising quail in the City and possibly redefining quail as poultry. Council President Olson suggested that be considered separately from deleting cats from the exception of roaming at large. Mayor Haakenson asked why quail were omitted from the definition of poultry. City Attorney Scott Snyder did not recall, advising it could be accomplished via a simple addition to the code. Councilmember Moore explained her intent was to remove the exception for cats and asked if anything else needed to be done. Mr. Snyder answered if cats were removed as an exception, how to identify cats in order to return them to their owner became an issue, hence the licensing provision. He noted there were several ways to do licensing; he simply added cats to the dog license section. He suggested the Council may want to consider whether the current licensing fees were sufficient. Councilmember Moore commented the reason she did not have Animal Control Officer Dawson attend tonight's meeting was because it required payment of three hours of overtime. She suggested Officer Dawson provide a memo to the Council rather than being present at the May 15 public hearing. Ord# a - Establish Period 10.

Staff recommends adoption of the proposed ordinance and set May 15, 2007 for a public hearing on the interim ordinance. City Attorney Scott Snyder pointed out the City was also short two staff persons.

Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes April 17, 2007 Page 12 Packet Page 108 of 192 MEMORANDUM Date: May 2, 2007 To: Assistant Police Chief Gerald Gannon Police Sergeant Karl Roth From: Senior Animal Control Officer Debbie Dawson Subject: Cat Licensing and Cats Running at Lame Several weeks ago, Mayor Haakenson asked me to call Councilwoman Moore regarding the issue about cats which was before the City Council. He told me to be candid with her questions about laws for cats. I did speak with Councilwoman Moore as directed by the Mayor. My conversation was not unlike any that I had with Chief Stern. She asked me about cat licensing and cat leash laws. I told her that I agreed with both recommendations for the following reasons. ■ 40% of animal control time is spent dealing with cat problems. This includes stray cat pickups, dead cat pickups, questions about cats trespassing and causing property damage, feral cats, abandoned cats with litters of kittens, cats in trees, cats killing wildlife, and injured cats to name just the most common calls. ■ 80% of the dogs impounded are returned to their owners whereas only 10% of the cats impounded are ever returned home. While licensing alone will not increase the cat return rate to the level of dogs, it will most certainly help. The national statistics for dog and cat returns are 25% for dogs and 1% for cats. ■ Most jurisdictions require both cat and dog licensing and many have a leash law for cats. Edmonds is in the minority when it comes to both these laws. Owning a cat should require the same measure of responsibility as owning a dog which is evidenced by other jurisdictions. ■ Enforcing cat laws will increase the workload on animal control officers, especially when the law is enacted. After the initial flurry of calls, the enforcement should return to a manageable level with the current staffing. Procedures will need to be discussed with police administration as to how the laws will be enforced. Until the calls actually come in, it would be anyone's guess as to the impact a cat leash law will have on the current kennel arrangements and policy on enforcing the law. A license requirement for cats will primarily impact the police staff assistants since they collect the fees for dog licenses now. No new licensing software is needed, the tag cost is minimal and staggering the expiration date will help relieve the burden on the staff assistants at renewal time. City of Edmonds Police Department EXHIBIT 3 Packet Page 109 of 192 ■ Past problems with goats, chickens and rabbits running at large that were ultimately handled with citations being issued, resulted in a correction to the running at large violation in all cases. Many contacts were made with those pet owners with several verbal warnings given based on the current law in EMC 5.05.050 that states "Any animal that runs at large........:". Because a law existed, enforcement was possible to correct the problem. With the current exemption for cats.....no enforcement is possible. I have expressed these same thoughts to Chief Stern and other Police Chiefs as well as many citizens over my twenty years as an Edmonds Animal Control Officer. Laws for cats should be the same as other animals. Currently, cats and their owners are not held accountable for the animal's actions except in a civil court. Having a law for handling cat problems would be another "tool in the toolbox" to use when needed. Since no public safety threat is caused by loose cats, they would not be picked up like dogs running at large. On the other hand, if a law existed for cats, then problems could be addressed like the goats, chickens and rabbits. Cat owners should also contribute financially to the animal control program like dog owners, especially with the 40% rate of service given to cat problems. This is the best recollection of my conversation from over a month ago. Cc: Mayor Gary Haakenson Packet Page 110 of 192 0006.900000 WSS/gjz 11 /09/06 R:4/6/07gj z ORDINANCE NO.

In case you didn't see the latest issue of the Edmonds Beacon, I want you to be aware that the City Council for Edmonds is holding a public hearing on Tuesday, May 15th on a proposed ordinance to remove the exemption for cats from the running at large code. If it passes, this will mean that cats have to be contained within your yard or on a leash. They are also considering the requirement that cats be licensed. So far only anti -cat people have been speaking out at the council meetings. It's important that those of us who would like the ability to let our cats be outside show up in opposition to this proposal. Please plan on attending the meeting. It's important that a large number of people in favor of allowing cats outside will have a hope of preventing these ordinances from becoming law. I've also copied below the names of the City Council members, email addresses and telephone numbers. Feel free to contact them in advance of the meeting to let them know that not everyone supports removing this exemption. This started as a neighbor dispute from one man raising quail who objected to his neighbor's cat. He's put together a tabbed notebook listing 10 reasons for confining cats. For more information, get a copy of the April 19th issue of the Edmonds Beacon. Also, the City Council meeting is aired on Channel 21 showing some of the flavor of comments being made (it will probably be on TV through 5/3/2007 Packet Page 119 of 192 Message Page 2 of 2 Monday, April 30th until the next Council Meeting occurs) The sections about cats are in the public comment portion which starts about 8:10 pm (there are some other issues intermingled with the cat comments) with the comments on the proposed hearing about 8:30 pm. This is being pushed by Mauri Moore. She quotes the animal control officer as being in favor of this change as well as PAWS.

Cats, unlike dogs, do not respond to walking with a leash. Cats, unlike dogs, do not stay in a fenced yard. Cats, unlike dogs, cannot be trained with an invisible fence. I have actually tried walking my cat on a leash and it doesn't work. My cat has lived in Edmonds for 16 years and has been able to go outside. I think it's cruel to suddenly try to tell her she has to stay inside. Not all cats use a neighbor's yard as a cat box. My cat actually comes inside to use her cat box. How many requests has the city received to change this Ordinance before the recent issue when the Council got involved in what was a dispute between 2 neighbors? How long has this exemption been part of the law? Are you going to add animal control officers to handle the increased volume of calls when everyone who dislikes cats will have the ability to call Animal Control with a complaint every time they see a cat outside unattended? What important Animal Control work won't be getting done while the Animal Control staff is chasing cats? Are you going to kill all of those cats that you will now be capturing that aren't claimed or returned to their owners or owners are unable to pay the fine? How many neighborhood disputes will be unleashed as anti -cat neighbors will be able to call to have cats removed just because the cat is outside, whether or not the cat is even in their yard? How many little children will lose their favorite pet because Animal Control takes it away? How many residents of Edmonds have cats and how many of these cats have grown up being able to go outside? How many of these residents even know that potentially this law is going to change? Are you opening Pandora's box and creating more controversy and dissatisfaction with City government? How long has this problem been identified as a priority that requires our City Council time and attention? do apologize that this is theissue that gets me involved in city government. I am a busy person actively involved in other ways in my community who has previously trusted that my city government was in capable hands addressing important issues.

It is felt by some that pet cats must become as dogs despite the clear physical differences between these two species. (Address for whole Council--SpellmanCcD-ci.edmonds.wa.us They don't always read things addressed here before a meeting- its put in a packet with a lot of other stuff the Friday before a meeting and you will often see some of them hurriedly rifling through their packet during a meeting, so their individual addresses are listed below.) May PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO EDMONDS CITY 15, CODE CHAPTER 5.05 RELATING TO ANIMAL CONTROL. 2007 AMENDMENTS INCLUDE DELETING CATS FROM THE EXEMPTION OF ROAMING AT LARGE AS WELL AS REQUIRING LICENSING OF CATS. Individual Council members' addresses: 5/1/2007 Packet Page 128 of 192 daveandmartha.orvis@verizon.net; Dan naDawson @yahoo.com; Conib1222@verizon.net; Electpeggy(a comcast.net; Mau rimoore(a-mac. com; michaelppp(ayahoo.com; rrWambolt(a-msn.com Arguments presented by the McCallums and their groupies in favor of restricting cats 1. Cats occasionally defecate in gardens. 2. Cats kill birds. 3. One lady has 2 feces eating dogs which after digging up and eating cat feces come inside and throw up on her rug. (reported without embellishment). 4. Cats comprise 40% of animal control complaints per Animal control Officer Dawson. Cat owners would pay $10 for a cat lifetime license and be required to keep their cat on their own property, or on a cat leash. 5. Lynnwood licenses and restricts cats, therefore Edmonds should do the same. 6. PAWS endorses the cat restriction. Response to arguments for: 1. True, but a very relatively minor problem in reality and is being grossly exaggerated by the cat haters. The McCallums, the instigators, in their complaints have often been confused, muddled, and contradictory in their assertions. Ask me for examples. 2, Well fed pet Cats kill a very small number of birds. Feral cats kill more birds for food, and what will be done about them? And what about the clear cutting destruction of open space green belt bird habitat due to large developments such as Unocal Hill, 5 Corners, Emerald Hills, 3 large areas in Meadowdale, and proposed clear cuttings in Perrinville, and the South End just to name a few. How many more birds has development killed vs..pet cats, and excluding feral cats? 3. Too silly and non -credible to respond to. 4. 40% is consistent with the fact that there are more pet cats than pet dogs. And how many of that 40% are feral cats? How many feral dogs (zero) are there, none vs.. 250,000 feral cats in the Puget sound area. How will licensing and restricting cats by itself reduce the feral cat population? (No reduction, it may in fact result in an increase.) 5. Lynnwood is 6% of the size of our big brother to the south, Seattle: that is 34,000 vs.. 550,000. Why should we not remain as we are in Seattle and Edmonds and maintain our current quality of life at a lesser cost? Additional points: 1. What will be the cost and who will pay to make the McCallums and their incited groupies happy? A $10 cat lifetime license even if fully complied with would not even scratch the surface of the additional expenses assigned to taxpayers if enacted. Edmonds citizens will be faced with additional taxes, probably requiring at least one or two additional full time equivalent cat catchers, plus trapping contractors. Current animal control officers will have to work harder; currently the two each spend half of their time doing parking enforcement. 2. The Police Dept this fall told the Public Safety Committee (CM Orvis and Marin) that they recommended no changes in animal control. Now after the animal cruelty cat trapping law was enacted the McCallums, who are currently operating a small poultry farm of quail, (it used to be chickens) and who simply do not seem to understand that they are attracting all sorts of animals in addition to 1 or 2 neighborhood cats (and none of ours) to their property, including rats (which have done substantial damage to one of their vehicles), feral cats, raccoons, coyotes, squirrels, birds, etc. (Just think about the amount of feces.) There is an Edmonds poultry ordinance which was copied from Lynnwood, however the City Attorney left out a few key words which renders it useless and unenforceable in this case; and he seems content to ignore the complaints. Ms Olson, the Council 5/1/2007 Packet Page 129 of 192 President is either opposed or very slow to schedule this needed housekeeping change, which has been a steady ongoing complaint since early December 2006. The Mayor also has asked why this hasn't been taken care of yet. It is the real Coot cause of the so called "neighborhood dispute" or "spat" as recently reported in the Enterprise. 3. 1 doubt seriously if Edmonds desires to limit or curtail its clear cutting practices in order to save birds. But even some small adjustments would save many times the number of birds killed by pet cats, which in comparison is truly a "drop in the bucket". 4. Costs will involve a whole lot more money out of the tax payer's pockets than a $10 per lifetime cat license even if fully complied with which will not happen. The city currently has one full time equivalent animal control officer. Each additional one will cost the city about $50,000 each year forever. And don't forget the cost of the needed professional trappers. 5. Lynnwood isn't Edmonds. And earlier Ms. McCallum said we need to be like St Louis and restrict cats; but I would rather Edmonds should stay more like Seattle with our obviously higher quality of life. 6. PAWS is one outfit I approached concerning the act of animal cruelty Turbo suffered. They were totally uninterested! I believe PAWS has now morphed into a special interest pressure group for the Audubon Society Implementation of cat restriction would probably reduce their costs, and increase income, which is of primary concern to them, as it also should be to the City Council in this instance. In conclusion the enactment of such an ordinance will be: 1. Extremely costly to taxpayers, with corresponding minor benefits to few. 2. Largely unenforceable 3. Suddenly and highly inconvenient to a large number of citizens 4. It would be a case of the McCallum poultry farm tail wagging the Edmonds taxpayer dog. 5. Would protect very few wild birds. Please let our Council hear from you and your opinions on or prior to the Public hearing on May 15th. Thank you, (a special thanks if you read this far) Ray Martin 5/1/2007 Packet Page 130 of 192 Chase, Sandy From: Spellman, Jana Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2007 9:36 AM To: Chase, Sandy Subject: FW: ord 2007-13 From: Ray Martin [mailto:Rayjmartin@comcast.net] Sent: Mon 4/30/2007 2:26 PM To: Spellman, Jana; 'Deanna Dawson'; daveandmartha.orvis@verizon.net; 'Richard Marin'; 'Peggy Pritchard Olson'; 'Michael Plunkett'; 'Maur Moore'; 'Ron Wambolt'; Haakenson, Gary; Compaan, Al Cc: 'W. Scott Snyder' Subject: FW: ord 2007-13 Dear Mayor, City Council, and Acting Police chief: May I call your attention to Walla Walla, population 32,000 which has recently updated their animal control ordinance. Attached is a copy of their one month old animal control ordinance. It should be good guidance for other cities and towns and especially Edmonds because it: 1. Seeks to encourage compliance, rather than to clumsily enforce and punish selected citizens or favor one animal over another with reference to "property rights", etc. Walla Walla has designated itself a bird sanctuary, while being reasonably agreeable and accommodating for all animals, with an exception for a fair to middling problem there as it is here, feral cats. 2. Provides remedies for documented animal problems, rather than hysterical reaction to false reports, such as unsubstantiated statements that a cat pooped somewhere, mythical violation of property rights, etc. I seriously doubt any of the individuals who have made such statements really know or can document with any true degree of certainty that the suspect defecator was a specific neighbor's pet as they state and not instead a feral cat, which we have at least two in our neighborhood currently. 3. Is aimed at reducing the troublesome population of feral cats, not at well fed pet cats. That was, I'm told, the point of their effort, and not the result of those engaging or supporting a silly "neighborhood dispute" or cat hating exercise. 4. It doesn't appear to divide citizens, take sides, selectively punish some and it certainly does not encourage so called "neighborhood disputes" which is currently getting out of control in Edmonds. 5. Seeks to maintain a high degree of fairness and livability for all citizens without unreasonably increasing costs and inconvenience as the current draft provided by our City Attorney's does. Walla Walla has one dog catcher and when I told Ms. Sarah Archer, the Executive Director of their local Humane Society that Edmonds has two, yet spend half their time on parking enforcement she said "WHAT?" and sounded 5/1/2007 Packet Page 131 of 192 very surprised; and she went on to say she felt that was insufficent coverage, and that there likely will be at least one more employee in Walla Walla (currently only one, like Edmonds two half time employees put together) assigned sometime in the near future Her number is 509 529 5188, and she was supportive of her city and told me she would be happy to talk to anyone about their Humane Society and their new city ordinance. Bird killing pet cats, as in Edmonds, is simply not a real problem for serious consideration, and little or no time was wasted talking of cat feces. Lisa Ball is certainly a good representative of Walla Walla. I had called to speak to Mr. Duane Cole, City Canager, but she screened my call and answered my questions well. The Animal control Officer is Ms. Sally McCullough. 509 524 4407. 1 did not talk to her, as she was not available when I called. My conclusion is that Walla Walla has a very good new animal control ordinance designed to meet the true needs of all its citizens, not just one special interest group. It appearsto be fair minded, enforceable, and provides the Animal Control Officer with the authority she needs to get the job done. I would like to urge our Council members and Police Dept. to take a good look at it before buying into the punitive piece of legislation that has currently been presented to you. Please compare in your own minds the attitudes and mind sets you perceive of the drafters of both pieces of legislation. Under which set of rules would you prefer to live? If you have read this, and their attached ordinance, and of course are familiar with the current one, you may begin to see my point and that just might hopefully influence you a bit towards a more moderate, middle of the road approach than our cat hating groupies want to lead you towards.

POLICY ISSUES: Under 6.01.100 (B) This change provides some flexibility to quarantine a dog at home or at the Shelter, depending on circumstances. It provides a toot to reduce the number of cats that congregate Under 6.01.140 Assists the Shelter personnel to make some arrangements for paying fees. Also insures all animals are licensed prior to being released to their owners. Under 6.01.160 Helps clarify when an animal may be destroyed. Under 6.07.170 A request from the Parks Department Director would exclude dogs from the Mill Creep Sports Complex. Under 6.09.010 (B) (2) (a) The intent is to bring in line the liability amounts that reflect current realities. (3) Most effective way to prove ownership and identification of animals. In addition to the suggested changes to the current ordinance, staff is requesting consideration to address four other areas including more effective ways to address dogs that bite, modification to the Cat Ordinance, 6.13, that will allow moJS effective ways to reduce the feral cat population and the general over -population of cats in our community and reducing the number of on -neutered cats, which create most of the cat -related calls for service. ALTERNATIVES: The alternative is to have portions of Title 6 that are outdated and create hurdles in being move responsive to our customers needs. Packet Page 150 of 192 FINANCIAL YM PACTS: The financial negative impacts are insignificant and, in some cases, will have a positive result.

FYI - Jana -----Original Message ----- From: Holley Anderson [mailto:holley17@comcast.net] Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2007 11:55 PM To: Spellman, Jana Subject: Regulation of household cats' owners. Dear City Council Member, Thank you, thank you, for addressing the problem of free -roaming cats. This is from a 61 year old who has only had cats as pets, since receiving a Siamese cat as a birthday present in first grade. I love to garden and bird watching and feeding evolved from that. I gave up bird feeding because a neighbor's six cats and another 6 or 7 from other homes became fixtures in my yard. I rigged up various enclosures with 8' wire fencing and support stakes around the 3 feeding areas. I finally conceded with my husband that they were unsightly landscape "features". These cat barriers made it difficult for me to access the area to fill feeders, prune, weed, etc. A neighbor across the street and I began a vegetable garden on the mid -level of her terraced backyard with a wonderful view of the ferries. We wheel-barrowed 15 yards of compost down steps to this area and dug it all in, after weeding for days. Our garden was bountiful --artichokes, beans, peas, tomatoes, and french pumpkins -- with enough to share with neighbors. This spring we are fencing it. The cats find this friable garden soil to be the perfect outhouse. My neighbor doesn't have any cats, but the two families below each have two, and there is one next door. I've never felt like there was any way I could keep free -roaming cats out of my yard. What I needed was something similar to a leash law for dogs. Even -though traffic has increased on our street, and coyotes have been seen in the middle of the day, the very real potential for the cats to become victims isn't enough incentive for owners to keep cats inside and under control. Hopefully, public outcry from neighbors who have silently suffered will have a voice heard by the city and take legal action to regulate and enforce these free roaming nuisances and associated health hazard. Most importantly, these irresponsible adults will become responsible pet owners and we neighbors as well as the cats will benefit with higher quality and healthier lives. Just as our children rely on us to make responsible decisions for them (immunizations, healthy food choices, safe play areas, etc.) our pets rely on us to safeguard their lives.

I couldn't let this opportunity pass without putting in my vote in favor of that eventuality. We often see our neighbors' cats traversing our backyard where they spend great deal of time digging up garden beds and disturbing our plants, not to mention the fact that the garden mulch that we pay a great deal of money for has been turned into a litter box. Thank you for your vote to give back the responsibility for pets to their owners.

We are very tired of having them in our yard killing birds, making messes, and even when fighting destroying plants. I understand that cats who live indoors live much longer than those who are allowed to roam so it would seem that the cats themselves would benefit along with the neighbors.

The goal of this memo is to stimulate a desirable response. The poorly written poultry ordinance remains a major root cause of the sick "neighborhood dispute", as the city authorities are incapable or reluctant of enforcing the original intent. The McCallums were previously raising chickens which were running loose (There was an earlier incident involving our cat "Prince" and Robert McCallum in which Prince was injured). That was on my mind when we began keeping our cats at home one week before Robert McCallum trapped and injured Turbo. I had no idea he was also luring animals with quail. And he did NOT complain to us as he said he had done at the recent Council meeting. His wife did complain, mildly at first, and then abruptly threatened us with "Things happen to cats", and we took that threat as a very real one, and correctly so it turned out. Never did the Animal control Officer contact us prior to trapping after she had personally recommended it in non compliance with the governing ordinance and state law. (which Scott has admitted publicly) Thats the gist of this continuing and sick "neighborhood dispute". Is it not time to wind this down by making a needed and simple change to help prevent even more problems? Nine months and counting!!!!! Now later the McCallums switched to quail and then began releasing them in defiance of state wildlife authorities in 2005. 1 only learned of the quail (I avoid the McCallums as much as possible) because Mrs. McCallum bragged about it in the original cat trapping article written by Diane Brooks in the Times (attached). (Complete copy available upon request) My complaint hopefully stopped them from releasing more quail in even greater numbers in 2006. Unfortunately we only became aware of the quail release(s) after the trapping of Turbo, and Diane's article. The current crop of quail began as 25 birds and has apparently been decimated due to an insecure pen. It seems so inherently cruel to continue to allow these helpless and innocent creatures to be so quickly devoured by an lured group of animals. The quail were apparently raised form eggs and are totally domesticated and as such are totally helpless to survive in the environment of western WA. That is why the Dept of wildlife does not permit the legal release of these fowl. They are legally released in Eastern WA primarily for sport hunting and shooting practice. Poor quail and a very strange love of birds and choices in my opinion. Also a secured pen is required by state authorities, which by McCallum's own admission at a Council meeting was easily broached by,a cat, probably a feral one, of which we currently have at least two in the neighborhood. Of course, he uses his own failure in this instance to denounce those evil cunning pet kitties, and as a reason to restrict all cats in all of Edmonds --how pathetic. The problem with our ordinance is that it doesn't have a catch all phrase as Lynnwood's ordinance does. The Lynnwood ordinance happened first, was written by Scott's law firm, but apparently Scott did a poor job of plagiarizing it by omitting the key phrase. An alternate solution would be to include the words quail, sage hen, ptarmigan, ruffed grouse, peacock, and every other domesticated (or capable of domestication) bird known to man, in addition to chicken, turkey, duck, and goose. (A few homing Pigeons would be a legitmate exception, as Seattle does)). The simplest thing to do is to copy, word for word, Lynnwood's ordinance. That shouldn't be too difficult, or expensive; and would save me a lot 5n12007 Packet Page 157 of 192 Page 2 of 2 of time having to continue to carp about it. Attached please find a rather poor joke of a letter response I received from the city regarding this matter. I sincerely hope the writers enjoyed a good hearty laugh at my expense. However, the Mayor, as the instigator of the faulty poultry ordinance, didn't appear to be too amused with Scott when he asked publicly why he had still not corrected the ordinance. If the Council restricts and requires cat licenses, then this important poultry correction should be added as an amendment to the the new animal control ordinance in whatever unworkable, unenforceable and expensive form such an unwise ordinance might take. I'm certainly not endorsing a cat leash law as it would be an additional tax increase for citizens, an abrupt inconvenience to many citizens, and would not address the growing feral cat problem, but would likely make it worse. It would become a prime example of creating an ordinance for the totally wrong reasons and the wrong results. Does the city need yet another strategy to alienate the citizens of Esperance in addition to our current citizens??? Would you prefer to continue to try to get this housekeeping change made or should I just keep insisting until this root cause problem is corrected? Your ability to accomplish this would certainly be my first choice, as my family and myself are sick and tired of this long drawn out and exceedingly stupid "neighborhood dispute" which may have began, unknown to us, with our nuisance McCallum (defecating roaming dog) complaint in 2000, another possible root cause. Finally, please help me to spend more time fishing (see attachment) and a whole lot less time with unwanted, unsolicited, and unnecessary "neighborhood disputes". Those are triploid trout and I caught my limit of them 3 days in a row and no, I won't say where or how, other than to note I used a kayak. Thanks, Ray PS. I have not yet publicly thanked the Council for the no intentional pet animal trapping ordinance. THANK YOU. It is very good public policy. There just are not very many people that would do what was done so many say it was unnecessary. But more of this disgusting practice would have probably occurred due to the publicity of this incident. ANIMAL CRUELTY IS UNACCEPTABLE.

This info is about the real problem, and is not about one or two neighborhood cats that have seldom if ever gone to the bathroom in her yard. It is about FERAL cats, and just what % of the reported cat problems are feral? I would like to see the PD break that down for us to think about. The Police Dept required me to present a picture of their dog violating the law, before they would act. Perhaps you need to ask them for some documentation that Turbo went to the bathroom in their yard. There have been too many inconsistencies in their stories to give them credibility otherwise.

The rodents gnawed through walls, scampered through the backyard garden and scurried from near -death confrontations with the family dogs. The sudden infestation has been unsettling, Odeye said. 'I could hear them in the walls. it was spooky," she said. "I'm just so afraid of them." In the past few .months, the reverendandhis two dogs have captured -- and killed -- 46 mice and -rats, some a foot long, not counting tails, the reverend said. "We're talking about big rats," he said, his hands a foot -wide apart. Across the street, M. Delphine LeDoux got so fed up, she sought relief from an exterminator, who recently hauled away about a half -dozen rats. "They were trying to come up through the bathtub -- scratch, scratch," she said. On most days, as many as a dozen cats would show up on LeDoux s porch or linger around her yard. These days, the number is down to three. Meanwhile, the neighborhood's rat population is booming. "We've never had this problem, no -- not as Tong as the cats were here,' said Odeye, who voiced concerns during a meeting Thursday night of the Oak Park Neighborhood Association. That's when the Odeyes first realized that they weren't alone in their rat problem and that Sweetie might have been snatched. What happened to Sweetie and the neighborhood's other strays is uncertain. Some residents believe they were captured by the city's Animal Care and Control Division as part of a sweep -- which is probably not the case, said Hector Cazares, the city's manager for animal care services. "We're concerned about feral cats throughout the city, but there's no special effort in Oak Park," Cazares said. "It's not inconceivable that some irate neighbor has been trapping them and bringing them in." Rats in the city aren't unusual, he said. Rodents rustle through trees, leap atop fences and run along utility lines. At times, they strike fear among unsuspecting city dwellers. "There are more rats in the city than there are people, and I'm probably right by three times," said Tony Carlson, who takes sales calls for Pest Control Center, which has been coming to the rescue of LeDoux. There may be rat hot spots, but the number of calls hasn't unusual, Carlson said. Indeed, there has been nothing out of the ordinary, said,Cazares, the city's animal *services manager. "If -there is, it hasn't been brought to my attention." Cazares welcomed news that the feral cat population in one neighborhood was in decline -- until informed of the unforeseen consequences. "We've got enough problems, don't lay that one on me," Cazares said jokingly. Rats? "That's a vector control issue."

Hopefully then, yesterday will be the last day I find leftover quail parts; this time on the edge of the street in front of my house (OUR CATS HAVE NOT BEEN OUT!!). This is clearly the result of the McCallum's latest wierd pet poultry experiment with quail after having been told that they could no longer release the poor defenseless birds in our neighborhood to be cruelly and quickly devoured. It is also illegal to continue to fail to properly confine the poor birds with inadequate security. I would estimate that about half of his latest flock of 25 has now been devoured by various critters. In my opinion that is simple animal cruelty. The McCallums have accumulated sufficient quail feces in order to run their hands through it frequently, along with their continuing large supply of rat and feral cat poop. Seriously, our cats do their business at home, and always have. I have noticed no difference in the amount of feces when I clean the cat litter since the kitties became house bound. Mrs. McCallum's changing assertions are ridiculous. At first Turbo was guilty of killing a humming bird. Did you see him do it? No. How then do you know? I found a dead bird. And when she was told that she doesn't have property rights to wild birds she then changed to Turbo was peeing on her front door and pooping in her garden. And off course later Turbo was eating all of the improperly secured quail. Again did you see him kill a quail? No. Debbie McCallum"s assertions are non-factual to say the least. The feral cats will probably now tend to leave without a readily available and munchy supply of fresh live quail. And it is a relief to read the McCallums will begin to honor the spirit and intent of the Poultry ordinance, which is unenforcable due to its incomplete origination; not to mention the continuing failure to correct it. Its hardly meeting their neighbors "half way" but it is one small step in 5/10/2007 Packet Page 173 of 192 Page 2 of 4 the right direction. And it is certainly indicates a sharp improvement in attitude considering such past McCallum events of the free roaming, barking, defecating, nuisance dog; the BB gun shootings; the trapping and/or injuring of two pet animals; the loud fireworks and other explosions. I'm sure the neighbors will appreciate an improvement, not just the cat owners, and I'll happily pass the word; although I do not think I'll ever want to venture on that property again to talk to him about one of his troublesome events, after having once being told so abruptly and loudly to get off his private property in no uncertain terms. Attached please find the most recent quail "leftover" part found in my yard as direct evidence that the McCallums are enticing various critters with their poor defenseless quail. (I've found it useful to use photos when McCallums are involved) (Why should they not be told by the police to provide evidence as I was so told?) Also, please ask Mr. McCallum why a bunch of rats damaged one of his vehicles to the tune of about $1900 if animals are not being attracted to their property. In Debbie's Letter to the Editor she stated that two organizations have a policy/goal that pet cats must be licensed and kept indoors/on their own property at all times. Both organizations flatly deny this when I contacted them. While many of their members do favor minimizing your cats' outdoor experience it is simply not true that pet cats are targeted anywhere near as harshly as she indicated in her letter. They will tell you that feral cats are the major problem, not well fed, contented, (fat) pet cats. May I again remind you that we have at least two feral cats in our area, again probably attracted by McCallums' actions. We have had a need for real animal control for sometime now, but all we have had so far is one highly disturbing pet animal trapping. The Council, Mayor, Attorney, whoever or one among you STILL need to address the POULTRY ORDINANCE. My complaint of that began in early December, and will continue until it is addressed properly. CM Wambolt has asked that this housekeeping correction be made, so why the delay? Hey, McCallum may decide to have free roaming Rhode Island Reds running about again, who knows. The cruel inhumane treatment suffered by Turbo cannot be forgotten or forgiven without a time proven change of attitude, and certainly not with just a few words in an Email. Hopefully Animal Control Officer Dawson has the word about her awful recommendation to trap pet animals, and her failure to follow her job description. Further, it is hoped that she will stay better informed on the ordinances and laws governing animal control in the future and attempt to relate with the complainees to resolve problems early on, and maybe have a bit more supervision. She 5/10/2007 Packet Page 174 of 192 Page 3 of 4 could even work on McCallum's feral cat problem. Before passing a cat licensing and cat leash law please consider: 1. The cost will be prohibitive for any small benefit gained. You will probably get about 30% cooperation for cat licensing so you'll need to charge about $300 a license instead of $10 to only partially cover the costs. I'm sure PAWS will help you with the costs, oh yeah! And also the Audobon Society just can't wait to help you defray the costs too. 2. When you are told that pet cats are killing all the birds think about the loss of bird habitat due to the Earl ing/Haakenson clear cutting PRD ordinance which reduces the number of birds greatly making very rare pet cat killings a drop in the bucket in comparison. The unfettered feral cats which are apparently not a concern of Officer Dawson or the McCallums kill by far the vast majority of birds, reducing the unproven and unreliable McCallum assertion to utter nonsense. 3. And you might ask for some real evidence such as photos, eye witnesses, etc. That is what it took to get the free roaming dog under control, as the McCallums denied, denied, and denied. Why should you simply accept their input as honest and valid without verifiication? 4. Do you need another punitive, unenforceable, unworkable, tax increasing, and unpopular ordinance punishing all citizens just to provide a get even dog retribution for the McCallums and the unusual folks with feces eating dogs? Does that make a whole lot of sense? S. Do you need to give the folks of Esperance another reason to vote against annexation? 6. Do you have a purpose in mind? The reduction of pet cats? An increase in feral cats, which would be a likely result without an very expensive upgrade of Animal control? 7. Would you tend to want to be like Seattle, Walla Walla, and Edmonds, or should you copy St. Louis, Brooklyn, and Lynnwood? S. And why should such an important matter be decided because a small emotional mob of cat haters descended upon an unwitting Mauri Moore in the hallway immediately after the Trapping ordinance was passed. Should it not be sent to the Public Safety Committee for another evaluation as a starter if considered at all? Should there not be an objective and thoughtful evaluation free of a frantic rush of wild emotion? S. How many feral cat complaints are there vs. pet cat complaints? 40% 5/1 0/�Net Page 175 of 192 Page 4 of 4 of complaints being cat complaints isn't an amount that is too high when you realize that there are more pet cats than pet dogs, plus a large and growing population of feral cats. Mr. McCallum doesn't need to suggest invisible fences in our neighborhood as he himself remains in my view the greatest danger to pet cats and thence the major deterrent to outdoor cats. Hopefully, we are beginning to see the light at the end of the "neighborhood dispute" tunnel so I can do more fishing and less of this stuff. Respectfully, Ray Martin May 8, 2007 City -council and office of the mayor: In order to meet my cat -owning neighbors half way, and to dispel the notion that I am enticing cats to my property, I have decided to find a new home for my quail far away from Edmonds. Hopefully this will put the focus back on the real issue: free -roaming cats. With the introduction of invisible fencing, cat enclosure systems, and kitty -walks, domestic cats can also have the outdoor experience without harming our wildlife or creating strained relations between neighbors.

To CITY COUNCIL MAY 0 9 2007 EDMONDS CITY COUML Re: For distribution to Council before May 15, 2007 Public Hearing on regulating cats. Dear Council members, I view the Council meetings regularly and first want to thank you for serving as council members. I realize, after watching some truly long meetings, how much time and effort is put into being a council member. Consequently, I am writing this letter because 1 have watched with some interest the agenda item surrounding cats. At first I thought it would come and go in a timely and efficient manner, but after watching for the last 6+ plus months, I realize that this particular issue has not only taken up an inordinate amount of your time but must have filtered into City attorney and staff time. Does anyone know the cost of issue to late Wgefterl Now that it has morphed into what seems like an all -consuming issue, I would like you to be aware of an extremely dangerous parasite associated with cats. What is the name of the parasite? TOXOPLASMA How is it spread? FECES FROM AN INFECTED, SHEDDING CAT Who does it affect: Humans, especially pregnant women, unborn children, and undiagnosed children. What are its affect on pregnant women and their offspring? 1. It can be potentially devastating to a pregnant women if not diagnosed. 2. It can also affect an unborn child. 3. If not detected in a child, it can cause BLINDESS AND RETARDATION in later life. 4. 1 urge you to read the attached literate 1 found on the CDC web site. This is no lark. My question to you is: Why should any expectant mother have to be worried about working in her own garden; or even worse, having her child play in a sandbox that may be infected by a cat shedding the Toxoplasma parasite? Dog owners are made to remove their animals waste not only from public places but private lawns when out walking them? Why, on earth, should cat owners be exempt or worse make others responsible for their cat's waste removal? From watching the meetings, it appears that 40% of the animal control officer's time is taken up with cat issues which prompts another question: Why should taxpayers as a whole be responsible for supporting the cost of the 40% of the animal control officer's time that is consumed by cats while dog owners are required to license their dogs? I would personally like to thank Council for bringing this ordinance back for further study and having a public hearing. URGE YOU TO PLEASE PASS THE AMENDENTS THAT ARE NOW BEING PROPOSED TO REQUIRE CATS TO BE LICENSED AND NOT ALLOWED TO ROAM AT LARGE. Sadly, however, I wish to remain anonymous. After watching Mr. Martin speak during Council meetings, I prefer not to be a target of his vitriolic criticisms because it appears he has no qualms about lavishing these criticisms at any and all who disagree with him. Again, thank you for serving, and for reading this letter.

My family and I were drawn to the Edmonds community with its larger lot sizes and towering evergreen trees, after living for years in the cramped space of an inner city lot. We have been amazed by the great diversity of birds and wildlife that frequent our yard here, and have created a friendly environment to encourage their visits. The installation of a water feature, plant materials, and a variety of feeding stations have been beneficial in establishing our backyard sanctuary. Unfortunately the neighborhood cats have also appreciated our efforts! Numerous cat collars have bedecked the clematis covered arbor housing the hummingbird feeders, and many ground feeding towhee and junco carcasses have graced our gravel walkways. We realize that the cats are merely being cats, and have thus far tried to deter them with noise and water, but what a pleasure it would be if pet owners would accept the responsibility for their animals' whereabouts! Trespassing felines in neighbors yards does not promote a healthy or safe environment for those of us who enjoy gardening and birding. Thank you for addressing this sensitive issue at your upcoming council meeting.

Item A: 220`h Street Project Review The Committee reviewed a staff report on the 2201h Street construction project. The Committee voiced interest in seeing a draft policy that would prohibit staff who have recently separated from City employment being retained as consultants on City projects. In developing the policy it will be geared to key staff and will include a waiver provision if it is viewed in the City's best interest to retain the former staff member. Item B: City Attorney Cost Comparison The Finance Committee next discussed legal services cost comparison. Committee members noted it was difficult to compare external and internal City Attorney arrangements. It was requested that staff up -date the comparison figures to include 2006 information when it is available later in the year. Staff were asked to include the cost comparison table in the minutes.

A. 2006 International Building, Fire and Supplemental Code Adoption. Duane Bowman introduced the topic. Jeannine Graf explained the process of adopting the new codes. She noted that the State Building Code Council has approved State wide adoption of the Building, Fire and Supplemental construction Codes (effective July 1, 2007). The City needs to formalize the State adoption of the following: 2006 International Building Code 2006 International Residential Code 2006 International Fire Code 2006 International Mechanical Code 2006 International Fuel Gas Code 2006 Uniform Plumbing Code 2006 State Energy Code 2006 State Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality Code There are no substantive changes to the codes but wording clarifications, grammatical changes, and cross refererencing changes have been made. The changes were highlighted in the attachment to the agenda bill. Ms. Graf noted that one change that was included was removal of regulating rockeries. She explained rockeries are not specifically regulated by the building code and we are no longer proposing to regulate them with a permit. She noted that they are primarily erosion structures and not retaining structures. The City will however regulate block walls. John Westfall discussed the adoption of the International Fire Codes. He noted that with the adoption of the codes three years ago, there were substantial changes. These new amendments are relatively minor. He noted one change which deals with regulations governing nightclubs. Chair Dawson asked if these impact the discussions that are currently taking place regarding the new type of development of multiple single family homes on single parcels. Mr. Westfall responded that is a separate issue and staff could report back to the City Council with a separate response. Council member Plunkett asked whether this provision would require sprinklers in single family homes and Mr. Westfall responded that they would not.
