Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh expressed his appreciation to Recreation Manager Renee McRae, Cultural Services Manager Francis Chapin, Parks Maintenance Manager Rich Lindsay and the 40 members of the Citizens Advisory Committees who worked on the Plan updates. He advised both Plans were available on the City’s website. Mr. McIntosh reported the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Comprehensive Plan and Community Cultural Plan updates have been in process since March 2007. These plans educate, set broad goals and objectives, identify needs, set policy, and create action plans to assist in guiding staff and the community, and allow department projects to be grants eligible. Given the constantly changing landscape of active cities such as Edmonds, this plan provides a general guide and not a blueprint for department and City activity. Budgets, capital improvement plans, costs of material, labor, and political direction can, do, and will change frequently within this six-year plan. The members of the Advisory Committees were individuals and citizens with different recreational, cultural, and life interests and some represented a certain population or organization within the City. Staff requested that regardless of their personal interest or affiliation, they take a broader objective in regard to the City’s quality of life and interest in building for the future. Mr. McIntosh read the Department’s mission statement, “To provide Edmonds’ citizens with a balanced system of parks, recreation, open space and cultural services along with their support facilities to ensure quality of life” and highlighted the economic and health benefits of parks cited in the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Comprehensive Plan. He explained throughout the process three overarching themes emerged - connectivity, diversity, and visibility. Juliet Fong, Hough Beck & Baird, Inc., explained the Plan set the vision for the Parks & Recreation Department for the next 15-20 years. In addition to providing specific goals, objectives, identifying needs, establishing policy, and creating action plans, the Plan allows the City to be eligible for state and federal grants. She briefly reviewed the content of each chapter. • Chapter 1 Introduction - defines the public process including the 20-member Citizen Advisory Committee, public workshops, 200 participant telephone survey, web survey, presentations to Boards/Commissions, and references other planning documents considered during the process. Packet Page 5 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 3 She noted previous plans compared the city’s level of service to national and state standards; the more common practice today was to determine what the community wanted with regard to a proposed level of service. • Chapter 2 Community Profile - defines the planning area, physical conditions, and demographics. • Chapter 3 Facility and Program Inventory - defines park categories (neighborhood, community, and regional parks, special use areas, gateways, entrances, beautification areas and cultural facilities), inventories existing park facilities, programs and expenditures. She commended the City on its volunteer and partnership programs. She displayed a map identifying existing facilities within the park system including school sites and civic facilities. • Chapter 4 Community Needs Assessment - defines and identifies the current level of service based on population and a proposed level of service based on what the community process indicated citizens want in the future. She described how a ½ mile service area was applied to all existing neighborhood parks and schools the City has joint agreements with. She identified “gaps” on the map that identified areas in need of a neighborhood parks. She reviewed the need for pedestrian spaces/plazas downtown; a new 20+ acre community park site in the south end; improving existing fields in addition to new fields; a pool, trails, waterfront and off leash dog park; a hand-carry boat launch; maintaining and expanding open space; visibility of gateways; creating/identifying walking/bicycling loops, safety of these connections and establishing connection between downtown and the waterfront; continuing the beautification program and providing teen and senior programs. • Chapter 5 Comprehensive Plan Framework: Goals and Objectives - uses the information including the visionary concepts to determine modifications/additions to the goals and objectives. She noted the goals and objectives were very broad to allow the City to take action on opportunities as they arise. • Chapter 6 Action Plan - item by item list of general ideas as well as very specific ideas and lists all existing parks and desired maintenance upgrades. She provided several examples of needs identified in the Action Plan. • Chapter 7 Funding Plan - established general priorities as a result of the surveys and input through community meetings and the Citizen Advisory Committee. She reviewed high priorities (acquire waterfront, open space sites and park land; conduct a feasibility study for the pool, 4th Avenue Arts Corridor, develop walkway connections to downtown); medium priorities (upgrade sports fields, complete Edmonds Marsh master plan, continue to upgrade existing park sites, and continue to upgrade children’s play areas and diversity of children’s activities); and low priorities (boat launch, skateboard elements, developing new priorities in under-served neighborhoods). She advised this chapter also outlines funding sources and contains the CIP. • Appendixes - contains facility inventory in a matrix format, telephone and web survey results, and park descriptions. Council President Plunkett asked how waterfront was defined in the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan. Ms. Fong answered she defined waterfront as physically adjacent to the water. Council President Plunkett noted the Comprehensive Plan identified the waterfront in more broad terms such as the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center. Development Services Director Duane Bowman agreed the Plan referenced the Downtown Waterfront Activity area. Ms. Fong advised waterfront was addressed in different categories including waterfront parks as well as scenic views of the waterfront and access to the waterfront. Council President Plunkett referred to Mr. McIntosh’s memo that states the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan did not identify park land in the Antique Mall area and the potential that there was inadequate information in the Plan identifying park land in the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center should there be an appeal to the Growth Management Hearings Board (GMHB). He noted the plan was replete with information regarding the need for open space, access, connections, etc. in association with the waterfront and the Comprehensive Plan defined waterfront as Downtown Waterfront Activity Area. He questioned Packet Page 6 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 4 whether amending the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan to identify the need for park land at the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center would be an adequate assessment of that need. City Attorney Scott Snyder answered amending the Plan to provide the detail would be key. He explained Mr. McIntosh’s memo identified the need for purchases/expenditures to be consistent with the Plan. He summarized the GMHB likes cities to “show their work.” As such amendments were made, the better chance the cities decision would be supported by the GMHB. Councilmember Dawson referred to language in the Plan regarding challenges associated with the railroad through the waterfront and making use of access from the other side. Ms. Fong agreed the Plan referred to improving access across the railroad tracks to provide a better connection between downtown and the waterfront. Councilmember Dawson suggested strengthening the language in the Plan regarding shoreline use and access, providing visual access to the water, developing viewpoints where the railroad prevents direct access to include developing open space and park opportunities near the waterfront. Ms. Fong commented while specificity was good in some areas such as on the gap map and identifying specific trails systems, it did not preclude opportunities to acquire/develop a park site elsewhere. There were enough general statements in the Plan to take advantage of opportunities as they arose. Councilmember Dawson commented if the survey did not define waterfront, it was uncertain whether the respondents were referring to the actual shoreline or the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center. Councilmember Wilson commented the Plan contained a statement that it was the City’s policy to purchase waterfront property whenever available which he interpreted to mean the shoreline. He suggested adding a policy statement that included the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center and asked whether that would be enough to allow consideration of some park/open space/public facility in that area. Mr. McIntosh commented that was beyond the scope of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan and was likely a Comprehensive Plan issue. Councilmember Wilson asked whether the Plan precluded development of the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center via a public-private partnership that included open space. Mr. McIntosh answered that could occur anywhere in the City; it was the Council’s prerogative to purchase/develop property anywhere in the City as opportunities arose. Mr. Snyder referred to GMA Section 36.70A.150 that permits cities and counties to identify land useful for public purpose. If the Council was aware of sites that were useful under certain conditions, they could be designated in the Plan. Councilmember Wilson asked if there was anything in the draft Plan that would preclude the Council from acquiring a portion of the property for open space/park. Mr. McIntosh answered not in his opinion. Mr. Snyder advised GMA Section 36.70A.150 also stated jurisdictions shall prepare a prioritized list of lands necessary for the identified public use including an estimated date by which the acquisition will be needed. Councilmember Wilson asked how the feasibility study for an aquatic center/indoor pool differed from the previous studies. Mr. McIntosh answered a great deal had changed since the original conceptual design was done in 1995 and cost estimates in 1996 including construction costs as well as aquatic trends. A new feasibility study would provide a menu of opportunities and costs from maintaining the existing Yost Pool to a regional aquatic center. Councilmember Wilson noted the draft Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan did not contain language from the previous Parks Plan that the City Council accepted the 1994 Aquatic Center Feasibility Study and stated the development of an aquatics facility would be the next major capital project following the completion of the Police, Fire and Public Safety Complex. He pointed out omitting this statement represented a reprioritization from the previous plan and de-prioritized the aquatic center. Mr. McIntosh described consideration given in 2001 to how to fund an aquatic center including via a public-private partnership, partnering with other cities; or the City developing a facility on its own. He emphasized the community’s interest in a covered pool and the need to do something with Yost Pool due to the Packet Page 7 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 5 unavailability of parts for repair. Councilmember Wilson suggested the language from the previous Plan regarding the priority of an aquatics center be retained in the proposed Plan. Councilmember Bernheim commended the Parks & Recreation Department for developing a great Plan. He asked whether the Plan included a list of purchase priorities. Mr. Snyder advised the City could identify sites. Mr. McIntosh advised the 126 Parks Acquisition Fund contained the list of priorities although there were no specific sites, only open space and land. Council President Plunkett asked if not identifying a park area in the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center would hinder the City’s ability to seek grants? Mr. McIntosh advised the City had been successful in obtaining grants for waterfront purchases in the past; the key was they were purchases of shoreline property. He was hesitant to specifically identify private property within the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center in the Plan; however, the Plan was broad enough to allow purchase of open space and land if an opportunity arose. Mr. Snyder answered the Council could provide a more specific statement such as identifying a part of a certain acreage in an area without specifically targeting a specific parcel. Councilmember Dawson commented on the importance of the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center, an aquatic’s facility, the waterfront and cultural activities in making Edmonds a destination and as economic drivers. She suggested adding language to the Plan regarding the importance of acquiring and developing park property and programs that enhance Edmonds’ existing strengths and considering the acquisition of view property in the development of new parks to enhance economic development opportunities. Mr. McIntosh advised the needs in the Plan were more traditional and not necessarily related to economics. Councilmember Dawson pointed out parks, an aquatic center, the waterfront, etc. as an economic driver was one of the Council’s priorities. Mr. McIntosh agreed a statement regarding the economic importance of parks could be added to the Plan. Mr. Snyder advised the City was required to develop several Comprehensive Plan policies/elements but no policy trumped the others; they were integrated and it was appropriate to balance/join policies. Cultural Services Manager Francis Chapin recognized members of the Citizen Advisory Committee in the audience, emphasizing the importance of citizen participation in the process of updating the plans. Cath Brunner, 4Culture, advised the City’s first Community Cultural Plan was adopted in 1994 and updated in 2001 and in 2008. She advised the same themes were identified in the Community Cultural Plan - connectivity, diversity and visibility. She read the mission statement developed by the Citizen Advisory Committee, “Promote and sustain a vibrant cultural community through proactive partnerships and civic leadership, a network of successful cultural facilities, effective marketing and outreach strategies, and broad participation in a diverse range of cultural offerings.” Ms. Brunner recognized Edmonds’ commitment to culture including an amazing number of volunteers. She identified the two overarching objectives that emerged from the Committee’s discussion - destination and participation. She displayed a collage of photographs demonstrating the wealth of activity in Edmonds. She noted designation was an economic development strategy that promoted a range and variety of cultural offerings to attract visitors. Participation in cultural activities was also a quality of life issue for Edmonds residents. She noted destination and participation were not mutually exclusive, cultural activities that offer opportunities to citizens also attracted visitors. She identified the five goals in the plan and implementation strategies: 1. Build Edmonds’ identity as a cultural destination. 2. Encourage effective partnerships to support cultural opportunities and awareness of cultural assets. 3. Develop facilities for visual art and enhance facilities for performing arts. 4. Increase visibility and accessibility to information about arts and culture. 5. Broaden community involvement and participation in a diverse range of cultural activities. Packet Page 8 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 6 Ms. Brunner noted the implementation strategies focus on activities and people and recognize Edmonds is changing. She provided a map of the City that identified park properties, park and gathering places with public art, cultural facilities, and other special use areas. COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO EXTEND THIS ITEM FOR 30 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. Lora Petso, Edmonds, submitted written comments and requested the 2001 Plan be made part of the record. She encouraged the Council not to approve the Plan tonight as Comprehensive Plan amendments were to be done once per year. She pointed out the old Woodway Elementary school was currently being used for recreation via Interlocal Agreements; the Comprehensive Plan states fields and parks cannot be abandoned without a hearing before the Hearing Examiner which has not yet occurred. The existing inventory should identify these facilities. The Plan acquisition should identify the fields due to the continued need for playfields. The Plan should not illustrate an existing park on the east side of the playfield as no park development had occurred on the site. She cited several errors in the Plan and expressed concern with staff’s comment at an earlier meeting that the update did not rely on the web survey as they could be completed by the same person twice. She noted the actuality was younger people may have responded to the web survey. Larry Pauls, Edmonds, referred to the groundswell of support at the April 1 meeting for a gathering area/special use area. He suggested the Council include in the Parks Plan the intense, enthusiastic public support for a public use area adjacent to the waterfront that could be a gateway, provide a connection, emphasize the waterfront, cultural aspects, etc. Jan Kavadas, Edmonds, described herself as a swimmer, walker, runner, swimming and track official, frequent Yost Pool user and member of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan Advisory Committee. She noted residents support a year-round pool although the Plan discussed an aquatic center, a broader concept than a pool. She referred to her comments to the Planning Board regarding things an aquatic center could include that would attract visitors and possibly increase revenue. Other uses include water aerobics, therapy, and lessons and recreation for children. She remarked swimmers from the four high schools in the Edmonds School District utilize the Lynnwood pool. She summarized an aquatic facility could be used by a wide range of ages. She agreed the Plan did not adequately address the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center. Barbara Chase, Edmonds, member of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan Advisory Committee, commented the survey addressed economics via the question regarding how important items were to tourism in Edmonds; 81% felt the waterfront was very important, and approximately 82% felt an aquatic center was somewhat important, very important or important. She was hopeful the CIP was flexible enough to allow acquisition sooner than 2012. Dick Van Hollebeke, Edmonds, commented an aquatic center was his primary interest and applauded Councilmember Wilson for acknowledging that an aquatic center was promised as the next priority after the Public Safety Complex. He was on the Council at the time that commitment was made and wanted that commitment continued, recalling an aquatic facility was the top priority in past surveys. He urged Council to think globally, recalling public support for open space/development in the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center either via a public-private partnership or outright City ownership. He noted another consideration was relocating the South Snohomish County Senior Center. He urged the Council to consider an aquatics center as a high priority as well as development of the downtown waterfront area in a manner the community supported/needed. Packet Page 9 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 7 Nancy Hopper, Edmonds, spoke in support of an aquatic center, commenting Yost Pool was a unique facility and a vital part of the community. She encouraged the City to maintain Yost Pool as well as develop an indoor aquatic center. She expressed disappointment that another feasibility study and associated costs were necessary and implored the Council to move ahead with an aquatic center. Marylee Brown, Edmonds, reiterated Ms. Hopper’s comments, recalling she participated on the original aquatic center committee chaired by Mr. Van Hollebeke. She had hoped the result of that effort would be a year-round pool, yet the City did not yet have such a facility. She urged the City to move forward toward a year-round pool. John Huckabee, Edmonds, expressed support for an aquatic center and encouraged the Council to consider it not only as a recreational facility but recognize its medical/therapeutic uses. He commented the ability to swim laps in a year-round pool locally as well as provide active programs was a great investment in the community’s health and Edmonds citizens. Alvin Rutledge, Edmonds, recalled the aquatic center group met for four years beginning in 1998 and provided projected costs for a pool through 2005. He recalled meeting with the Edmonds School District, and signatures the group collected on petitions. He noted the community was supportive of a pool which could be accomplished via relocating Yost Pool. With regard to funding for the waterfront, he recalled in 1998 the City obtained $600,000 from the Snohomish County Futures grant program to purchase waterfront property. Mary Lou Block, Woodway, member of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan Advisory Committee representing the Port of Edmonds, commended Mr. McIntosh and his staff for the organization and implementation of the process used to update the Plan. The Advisory Committee members represented many facets of the community that use or have an interest in the City’s Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan and was a diverse group of individuals who were not reticent about expressing their opinions. Much of the Advisory Committee’s discussion focused on facilities for youth in the community and solicited input via the telephone and web survey and public meetings. Another issue addressed frequently and extensively was the connectivity of walk and biking routes. There was also significant interest in access to the waterfront from the upland areas as well as development along the waterfront, an area in which the City and Port have effectively collaborated in the past. She summarized the process ran smoothly and effectively incorporated many of the public’s ideas and concerns through the input of the Advisory Committee, surveys and public meetings. She noted the Port provides a number of recreational opportunities that enhance the City’s park system and the Port looked forward to working with the City on the implementation of the updated Park Plan. David Thorpe, Edmonds, hoped the 20 person Advisory Committee and the 200 participants in the telephone survey were reflective of the community. He noted parks were typically not considered economic drivers other than Yost Pool. He noted a regional aquatic center was a large undertaking; he questioned where it would be located, impacts on Yost Park and on neighbors from increased traffic. He urged caution in developing a regional aquatic center. Colin Southcote-Want, Edmonds, commented he was a strong advocate of youth fields and did not feel the area had an adequate number of playfields. He highlighted sports he enjoyed - swimming, softball, and lawn bowling. He commented eight months of the year he was unable to swim in Edmonds. He commented his church softball team was no longer able to practice at Westgate Elementary as it was an inadequate field for adult softball. Last year their team practiced at Edmonds Elementary and were practicing at Sherwood Elementary this year, both inadequate for adult use. He summarized the area did not have adequate facilities for softball. He remarked lawn bowling was a perfect sport for all ages but particularly those in the twilight of their youth, however, the closest fields were at Woodland Park or Packet Page 10 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 8 Jefferson Park in Seattle. He urged the Council to consider sports facilities for people in the twilight of their youth. Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented as he was not asked his opinion regarding the Plans via a survey, he provided comment at the two Planning Board meetings and to the Council previously. He recognized the Council’s earlier discussion regarding the gap in the Plan with regard to a park facility near the waterfront. He recognized there was disagreement regarding what this area was called, suggesting any discussion of the waterfront include the area between Main and Dayton west of the ferry holding lanes. He commented it appeared staff was resistant to changing the Plan and suggested the Council revise the Plan to reflect the sentiment expressed by the public two weeks ago. He noted in addition to establishing policy, the Plan was also needed to qualify for state and federal grants. Ute Freud, Edmonds, commented she grew up in Northern Germany where every seaside town had a huge indoor swimming pool, often with saltwater and artificial wave motion. She suggested Edmonds consider such a unique pool with those features. Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Haakenson closed the public participation portion of the public hearing. Councilmember Dawson inquired regarding Ms. Petso’s comment about amending the Comprehensive Plan once a year. Mr. Chave explained there were simply too many Comprehensive Plan amendments for the Council to consider at one time. Therefore, the Council considers draft plans and approves plans which allow staff to get the documentation ready for adoption of the Comprehensive Plan which typically occurs in the last quarter of the year. He noted the Council could approve the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan and the Community Cultural Plan whenever they felt it was ready; it would then be adopted along with the remainder of the Comprehensive Plan docket. Councilmember Dawson commented there was ample time for the Council to work through the ideas/questions raised tonight as it would not be adopted for several months. Mr. Chave agreed. Councilmember Dawson suggested staff also research the inconsistencies cited by Ms. Petso. Councilmember Bernheim commented the Council could made amendments to the Plan before adoption in October/November 2008 if additional issues arose. Mr. Chave explained staff sought Council approval of the Plan prior to adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. He encouraged the Council to continue working on the Plan, make necessary amendments and to finalize the Plan. Councilmember Dawson referred to Councilmember Wilson’s comment regarding reprioritization of capital projects in the Plan via not identifying an aquatic center as the next major capital project. She noted the Council had not discussed that issue and she was not aware of any other major capital projects. She suggested before the Park Plan was amended to state the aquatic center was not the next major capital project, options for other capital projects be presented to the Council. Mayor Haakenson offered to have staff provide a presentation in the next few weeks. Mr. McIntosh noted there were several projects occurring concurrently. He agreed an aquatic center was a high priority and it was up to the Council whether to identify it as the highest priority. Staff’s intent was to complete the Comprehensive Plan and then do a feasibility study. Councilmember Dawson pointed out a previous Council identified an aquatic center as the highest priority and she questioned whether there were other major capital projects being contemplated that were of the caliber of the Public Safety Complex. Mayor Haakenson remarked there were numerous capital needs such as park maintenance issues at City Park, the Senior Center, Fire Department, etc. Councilmember Olson asked when the feasibility study would be complete. Mr. McIntosh described the process for advertising and selecting a consultant and approving a contract, anticipating the study would Packet Page 11 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 9 begin in late summer. Councilmember Olson commented the information from the feasibility study was necessary to determine whether an aquatic center was the Council’s priority. She asked how I-695 affected funding for an aquatic center. Mayor Haakenson answered initiatives approved in 1999 changed the City’s financial landscape. He acknowledged previous Council’s have affirmed the priority of the aquatic center but it has not proceeded due to lack of funds. Mr. McIntosh requested Council direction regarding amending the Plan, noting he had a deadline to adopt the Plan as staff planned to apply for an RCO grant this summer. Councilmember Dawson noted Mr. McIntosh wanted the Plan adopted in order to apply for a grant, yet Mr. Chave stated the Plan could not be adopted until the Comprehensive Plan amendments were adopted in the fourth quarter. Mr. Chave clarified Mr. McIntosh needed Council approval of the Plan, not adoption. The Council could approve the Plan but it must be adopted along with the other Comprehensive Plan amendments. He pointed out adoption of the Comprehensive Plan may be scheduled in the third quarter if a decision was made to extend the Transportation Plan into 2009. Mr. Snyder anticipated the grant application required preliminary approval subject to final adoption at a later date. He offered to review the language in the grant application with Mr. McIntosh. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM, TO EXTEND DISCUSSION OF THIS ITEM FOR 15 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilmember Bernheim provided the following recommended changes: Community Cultural Plan (February 2008) • Page 10 of the, add 1.3.d as follows: "Support the creation of open spaces and public amenities in the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center that would attract out of town visitors." • Page 12, revise line 4 of 2.3 as follows: "... community, including the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center." Parks Comprehensive Plan (February 2008): • Page 4-5: revise the 12th line from the bottom left column to read, "possible, especially along the waterfront and in the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center." • Page 4-5: revise the last line of the bottom left column to read, "waterfront properties and properties within the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center and to partner". • Page 6-7: revise the first bullet point in the left column to read, "Acquire and develop at least seven additional acres of waterfront property and property in the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center for regional park use." • Page 6-8: add an additional item, "[acreage to be determined]/Downtown Waterfront Activity Center/TBD/Consider area for inclusion in public levy or bond issue". Recommended Plan Facilities Map • Add a purple starburst in the vicinity of the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center. Councilmember Bernheim also expressed support for the idea of an aquatic center. He referred to Ms. Freund’s comment, agreeing many of the aquatic facilities in Europe were unbelievably fantastic amenities for the community. He expressed concern that another feasibility study was necessary. Councilmember Dawson agreed with Councilmember Bernheim’s suggestions. She suggested the goals/objectives in the Parks Plan contain more specifics regarding indoor park facilities and specifically an aquatic facility. She agreed it was unfortunate when a feasibility study was not followed up on, however, it was important to conduct the feasibility study to identify potential sites, funding sources, subsidies, etc. She was impressed with the language in the Cultural Plan regarding designation and participation and suggested similar language be included in the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan to reflect that parks and open space draw visitors to the City and serve as an economic driver. She Packet Page 12 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 10 commented on the importance of identifying open space in the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center due to its significance to the City’s character. Councilmember Wambolt requested staff research the inconsistencies identified by Ms. Petso. Council President Plunkett recognized staff and the consultants for their work on the Plans. He expressed interest in staff’s opinion regarding Council suggested amendments. He pointed out the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan and the Community Cultural Plan were actually an Economic Development Plan. Councilmember Olson agreed the Plans were excellent. She preferred to have the feasibility study completed before a decision is made to make an aquatic center the top priority. Councilmember Orvis agreed with the suggestion to add economic development language to ensure a park/open space could be developed in the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center. He also supported moving forward with an aquatic feasibility study. Councilmember Wilson referred to discussion in the Cultural Plan regarding branding and marketing and recommended staff ensure that fit with other plans/goals. He commended staff on the Plan, commenting on the difficulty created by an emerging consensus occurring parallel to the Plan update. He supported an aquatic center on the Antique Mall property with construction funded via a bond along with approval of a maintenance and operation levy and wanted to ensure that was not precluded via omitting something from the Plan. He commented there were major policy differences between the existing and the proposed Plan and questioned what other major policy differences may exist that he was not aware of. He asked staff to identify in writing where major changes were made to the Plan. He encouraged staff to request action from the Council if they needed the Plan adopted in order to pursue a project or grant. 4. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2008-2014 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP). Mayor Haakenson advised Friday was Assistant City Engineer Don Fiene’s last day; he was leaving the City to take a job in the private sector. He thanked Mr. Fiene for his years of service to the City, commenting it would be impossible to replace him. Mr. Fiene reviewed issues raised at the previous public hearing held on March 18, 2008: 1) Issue: REET Revenues - the Council requested a monthly update on the REET revenues. A question was raised whether the 125 & 126 Fund projections need to be adjusted to reflect poor REET revenues in 2008. Resolution: The Finance Department will provide monthly updates. He displayed a 2008 Monthly Revenue Forecasting Model for REET that reflect monthly totals as well as average monthly totals. Revenue projections have been revised for Funds 125 & 126 and are consistent with each other. He provided revised REET projections: • 2008= $900,000 ($1,400,000 in 2007) • 2009= $1,100,000 • 2010= $1,300,000 • 2011 to 2014= $1,450,000 per year Net Effect: The overlay cycle has increased to 45 years from a 30 year standard. This could improve if TBDs are implemented, or if REET revenues increase and could worsen if more gas tax was taken from the Transportation Capital Fund 2) Issue: Availability/accessibility of project descriptions to the Council and public. Resolution: Advertisements in the Herald and Channel 21 describing various means to access information, information and a link sent to Councilmembers, information posted on the City’s Packet Page 13 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 11 website - www.ci.edmonds.wa.us, and hard copy of CIP and descriptions available at the City Clerk’s Office. 3) Issue: A citizen remarked the City would be out of compliance if the CIP were amended later in the year (for Fiber Optic fund) and stated that the statutory requirements would not allow it. Resolution: The Planning Manager provided the State RCW (GMA) provisions/requirements and a memo was provided as an attachment with the CIP agenda. The conclusion was the CIP could be amended more than once a year. 4) Issue: Councilmember Wilson expressed interest in the Lake Ballinger project and funding. Resolution: The project is still in the formative stage although $200,000 of State funds have been recently secured. Interlocal agreements, cost shares, local funding, etc still need to be worked out. There currently is no estimate for the amount Edmonds would pay. He identified funding in the CIP for Lake Ballinger: • $49,000 total in 2008 • $20,000 in 2009 • $40,000/yr 2010 to 2014 5) Issue: A Planning Board Member provided comment regarding the City Building Fund, commenting on the applicable industry standards for maintaining City buildings and expressing concern regarding capital funding for buildings (reliance on grants, etc). Resolution: With regard to industry standards, develop a similar approach for building infrastructure as is done for waterline system and street overlays. The Public Works Director and Facilities Manager will research and attempt to incorporate this ideology in the coming months. 6) Issue: A Councilmember mentioned that the Senior Center parking lot needs additional attention and perhaps funding. Resolution: The Council will need to discuss and determine the future of the Senior Center building (redevelop/rehabilitate or build a new center) before pursuing any more than is presently detailed. Mr. Fiene noted several other issues were raised after the Council had an opportunity for further review of the CIP and project descriptions; these were answered via email to Councilmembers. Staff recommends and/or encourages comments and feedback from the public and Council and recommends the Council direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance adopting the update to the Capital Facilities Plan. Councilmember Dawson commended Mr. Fiene for his quick response to the questions she raised. With regard to TBDs, she relayed information from the County Council Chair and Vice Chair that the Snohomish County Council did not plan to pursue a countywide TBD and planned to adopt a resolution stating that position. She inquired about staff’s plans to provide options to Council with regard to forming a TBD. Community Services/Economic Development Director Stephen Clifton advised if the County Council made a decision not to form a countywide TBD, the City had the ability to form its own TBD. In order to do so, the City must establish boundaries coexistent with the City limits and may impose a $20 license fee without a public vote or a $21-$100 license with a public vote. The Council also has the ability to propose to the voters an increase in sales and use tax and property taxes. The City would need to wait until May 23 to form its own TBD as existing legislation allowed county and cities until May 22 to determine whether they wanted to form a TBD together. Councilmember Dawson suggested staff provide the Council a presentation regarding TBD options such as was provided at the Council retreat. Mr. Clifton advised staff had prepared a draft list of projects at the request of Snohomish County and had preliminary figures regarding funds that would be generated annually if a $20 license tab fee were enacted; this amount ranged from $500,000 - $700,000. Mayor Packet Page 14 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 12 Haakenson advised that information would be presented to the Council after May 23. Councilmember Dawson asked whether projects were required to be regional or whether they could be local projects. Mr. Clifton advised clarification provided by AWC indicated a variety of projects could be funded. Councilmember Dawson recalled from the Council retreat that a number of Councilmembers were disinclined toward enacting a license fee without a vote. Councilmember Wilson clarified his comment at the March 18 public hearing regarding the senior center parking lot was that the Council should determine plans for the senior center before allocating funds for the parking lot. Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. Lora Petso, Edmonds, also submitted written comments. She urged the Council not to adopt the CIP, providing several observations and recommended changes including that the CIP was not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan which identifies the need to acquire playfields; the miscellaneous open space line item in the amount of $200,000/year should reflect specific property acquisitions; REET revenues in the 125 Fund and the 125 Fund are inconsistent; line items should be added to appropriate funds for the new waterfront project rather than allocating funds for miscellaneous park acquisition; delete the line item for skate park; do not fund the Frances Anderson Center work from the acquisition fund; provide specifics regarding the Southwest Drainage Basin line item; include grant funding for the old Woodway High School development project; identify funding for the aquatics center; provide more specific information regarding development of the park on the old Sherwood Park site; identify locations for proposed projects; and identify appropriate sites for additional playfields. David Thorpe, Edmonds, recommended more attention be given to funding projects in Fund 116 due to the importance of building maintenance. He agreed with the concern expressed regarding the reliance on grant funding for projects in Fund 116. He referred to funds allocated for Shell Valley bike and walkway in 2008 and 2009, recommending a Shell Valley emergency access also be provided. He suggested a retractable roof for the pool. With regard to Fund 412-100, he noted $45,000 was allocated in 2008 and 2009 for reservoir security, yet the project sheets reflected $90,000 each year and no reservoir security after 2009. With regard to Fund 412-200, he recommended including an educational component for students. He was pleased with $30,000 allocated for Shell Creek and questioned the $1.5 million allocated to Perrinville Creek diversion in 2010. He questioned $73,000 in Fund 414 (Treatment Plant) in 2008 for odor control that was increased to $731,000 in 2009. He questioned plans for an RCO grant for the Interurban Trail. Alvin Rutledge, Edmonds, recalled plans for an Interlocal Agreement with Lynnwood to fund the South Snohomish County Senior Center. Next he relayed Snohomish County Councilmember Mike Cooper’s comment that the Transportation Department had not yet made a report to the Council regarding TBDs. Mr. Rutledge expressed his thanks to Mr. Fiene for the work he has done, particularly with regard to Lake Ballinger. Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to planned improvements to the South Snohomish County Senior Center including annual facility improvements to the structure, resurface parking lots, improve drainage, overhead lighting, landscaping and walkways, and recommended the City publicly state their plans for the Center before any funds were spent. Jim Young, Edmonds, commended the Council for their discussion regarding the CIP including discussion regarding funding alternatives. He pointed out the Council would be able to make a more compelling case with citizens as they familiarized themselves with the CIP. He referred to additional information he provided regarding national standards/engineering principles for building maintenance and expressed appreciation for staff’s intent to develop standards for building maintenance. He remarked the Packet Page 15 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 13 creation of an inventory of maintenance could be both enlightening and frightening when the backlog of maintenance was realized. Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Haakenson closed the public participation portion of the public hearing. Councilmember Wilson asked whether street overlays were funded entirely from Fund 125. Mr. Fiene answered there were also funds in Fund 112. Councilmember Wilson recalled the Council allocated any funds collected in Fund 125 over $750,000 to street overlays. Mr. Fiene noted the decline in REET revenues extended the overlay cycle from 30-35 years to 45 years. Councilmember Wilson referred to $2 million in Fund 116 for maintenance of the Frances Anderson Center. He questioned whether the Council had considered at what point it was too costly to maintain Frances Anderson Center and apply funds used for maintenance to constructing a new building. Public Works Director Noel Miller advised Fund 116 was the building maintenance fund as well as a capital improvement fund. Funding for the $2 million seismic retrofit project included a $785,000 FEMA grant with remainder funded by the City. Councilmember Wilson inquired about $100,000 in Fund 125 for citywide park improvements/ miscellaneous small projects. Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh answered this funded miscellaneous maintenance projects that arise in citywide parks throughout the year. Councilmember Wilson suggested the line item for Yost Pool Feasibility Study be changed to Pool/Aquatic Center Feasibility Study. He questioned how the $200,000 in Fund 125 for miscellaneous open space was used. Mr. McIntosh answered it was a placeholder for purchase of property in unspecified locations. Mayor Haakenson reminded the Council had directed staff to negotiate regarding a certain parcel. Councilmember Wilson commented it was a matter of priorities. Mayor Haakenson suggested the Council inform staff if they wanted to change their priorities. Councilmember Wilson commented there were a number of areas where funds could be identified to acquire property in the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center area. Mayor Haakenson commented the Council had not given staff any direction to use any funds to acquire land other than the parcel he mentioned previously. Councilmember Wilson questioned how the Council would make that a possibility. He observed citizens had voiced their interest in moving forward with development in the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center; he wanted to ensure there were funds to do that in an effective and significant manner. He questioned whether the funds identified for miscellaneous purposes could be used to further citizens’ interests. Council President Plunkett asked whether funds needed to be identified in the CIP to make an appropriation with regard to the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center. Mr. Fiene reiterated the CIP was a long range planning tool; the Council could allocate funds as necessary as opportunities arose during the year. He agreed having a project in the CIP increased the odds of receiving a grant. City Attorney Scott Snyder explained the Council could amend the budget and identify funds at any point during the year. With regard to the CIP, to the extent the City could plan ahead and prioritize, the City was required to do so but could also make emergency amendments to the CIP during the year. Councilmember Wilson commented it was his understanding an emergency situation would not apply with regard to the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center because staff brought to the Council two years ago plans to discuss redevelopment of that area. Mr. Fiene commented the CIP was not a budget but rather a long range planning tool. Councilmember Wilson pointed out the current Parks Plan identified an aquatic center as the top priority once the Public Safety Complex was completed. As that was identified as the top priority, was it appropriate to identify funds in the CIP for an aquatic center in the Downtown Waterfront Activity Center? Packet Page 16 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 14 COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON, TO EXTEND THE MEETING UNTIL 11:00 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mayor Haakenson clarified the Council did not need to declare an emergency to purchase property. Councilmember Wilson referred to Mr. Snyder’s comment that the CIP, as a planning tool, should reflect the Council’s priorities. Mayor Haakenson advised the CIP could be changed at any time. He suggested Councilmember Wilson make a motion to include a pool in the CIP. Councilmember Wilson expressed concern with funds allocated to miscellaneous projects, noting when combined they represented a great deal of money. Mayor Haakenson commented needs arose in the Parks Department throughout the year that required funding. He anticipated there would also be property acquisition opportunities for which there needed to be funds available. He recalled this had occurred in the past with regard to waterfront property including $4 million to purchase Marina Beach Park. Miscellaneous funds were also needed to address unforeseen, emergency maintenance issues. He offered to have a staff person review each line item in the budget with Councilmember Wilson and suggested Councilmember Wilson participate on the 2009-2010 Budget Review Team. Councilmember Wilson commented his concern was not that there was waste, fraud or abuse in the budget. His concern was that the priorities may not be reflective of what the citizens want. Mayor Haakenson advised the Council determined the priorities and needed to ensure they matched the citizens priorities. Councilmember Wambolt clarified approving the CIP did not approve the expenditures; the projects would be presented to the Council to approve the expenditure. He challenged Councilmember Wilson to identify any extra funds in the budget. Councilmember Bernheim referred to Mr. Thorpe’s question regarding funds for odor control. Mr. Fiene advised he would have Treatment Plant Manager Stephen Koho verify those amounts. Mr. Fiene advised he would also research the discrepancies between the spreadsheet and the project description for reservoir security and the discrepancy in REET funds between Fund 125 and 126 and make any corrections to the ordinance. He offered to email Councilmembers and Mr. Thorpe any changes made to the CIP in response to these issues. Mayor Haakenson suggested Mr. Miller arrange for Mr. Koho to take the entire Council on a tour of the treatment plant, especially the new Councilmembers. Mr. Fiene responded to Ms. Petso’s question regarding the Southwest Edmonds Basin study project, explaining those projects were identified in the study including the project at the old Woodway Elementary School site that would be constructed in conjunction with the park development. With regard to the Interurban Trail grant, Mr. Fiene agreed the project was reliant on a grant. He pointed out the Shell Valley project was an emergency access during winter months and a walkway/bikeway the remainder of the year. With regard to the skate park, Mr. McIntosh advised a skate park was a park component considered in the development of any new park; there was no specific location identified for a skate park. It was the consensus of the Council to direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance for the Consent Agenda. The Council thanked Mr. Fiene for his years of service to the City. 5. PUBLIC HEARING ON INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 3682, AMENDING THE DEFINITION OF STREET SETBACK IN ECDC 21.90.140, AND ADOPTING A NEW SECTION ECDC 21.85.014, DEFINING RAINWATER COLLECTION TANK Planning Manager Rob Chave advised the Council was required to hold a public hearing within 60 days following passage of the interim zoning ordinance on April 1, 2008. He advised the Planning Board had an initial discussion and planned to discuss the ordinance in conjunction with low impact development at Packet Page 17 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 15 their retreat in May. Staff discussed with the Planning Board the option to require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process because the Department of Ecology (DOE) was also required to approve rainwater collection tanks. The CUP process would provide a process to require removal if the tank were not being used. He explained DOE had indicated the rainwater collection tank was permissible and fit their guidelines. Councilmember Dawson advised there was no action requested from the Council tonight other than to hold the public hearing. Mr. Chave advised any issues that arose at the public hearing, would be forwarded to the Planning Board. Councilmember Bernheim observed the interim ordinance would expire in six months. Mr. Chave agreed noting the Council would need to take action or extend the interim ordinance. City Attorney Scott Snyder advised the Council could repeal the interim ordinance or amend the interim ordinance tonight. He relayed that San Juan County and Seattle had applied for a blanket permit to allow their citizens to harvest rain water. Mr. Chave advised staff was researching that issue. Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. David Thorpe, Edmonds, questioned the proposed height of the collection tank for a gravity fed system. He questioned the capacity of the tank and whether it could withstand an earthquake. He also questioned whether there was any vehicle access around the tank that could potentially damage the tank. Alvin Rutledge, Edmonds, advised staff provided an excellent report to the Planning Board. He expressed support for the collection tank and encouraged the public to attend Planning Board meetings. Finis Tupper, Edmonds, perceived this as a backdoor approach to satisfy one person’s desire to accomplish something without extra expense. He noted the only information presented to the Community Services/Development Services Committee was a letter that described the desire for a platinum LEED designation. He pointed out a grocery store would have few toilets and limited landscaping, asserting this was inappropriate and purely to camouflage an administrative variance. He pointed out the community’s interest in aesthetics and landscaping; allowing this collection tank along the roadway would eliminate a substantial evergreen tree that provided more environmental benefit than the proposed tank. He recalled a case where the City Attorney stated there was no view blockage as the view was to the west; he clarified there was a view to the east in Westgate and there were residential areas near this site. He summarized this was a bad choice of how to use an interim ordinance and was nothing more than an administrative variance without following the variance code. Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, agreed with Mr. Tupper that this was a backdoor approach to creating regulations. He displayed a photograph of a silo-type rainwater collection tank, commenting it would be more appropriate for an industrial area. He noted the tank was not proposed to be screened by landscaping as it was educational. He recommended a CUP for this type of structure, and ADB review. He referred to Section 21.90.040 street setback that identified items that were not considered a building or a structure including rain collection tanks and asked how a rain collection tank was not a structure. Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Haakenson closed the public participation portion of the public hearing. Mr. Snyder responded to Mr. Hertrich’s question, explaining a rain collection tank was not considered a structure because the code excluded it from the definition of a structure. Council President Plunkett asked how a determination was made whether something like this required ADB review. Development Services Manager Duane Bowman responded it was a minor project and was Packet Page 18 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 16 not subject to SEPA. Typically if a project was subject to SEPA, it would require ADB review. The building and parking currently exist; the tenant improvements and signage do not meet the SEPA threshold. Councilmember Dawson referred to the comment regarding potential removal of a significant tree, noting the tree had an environmental benefit as did the rainwater collection tank. She suggested the interim or permanent ordinance include language that the collection tank not require the removal of significant trees, impinge on a wetland or critical area, etc. Mr. Chave advised the possibility of strengthening the landscaping requirements was discussed with the Planning Board. Councilmember Dawson expressed concern with the impact of removing a significant tree. Mr. Chave noted the existing landscaping was minimal. He noted even if the rainwater collection tank was not reviewed by the ADB, staff uses the same criteria in their review. If a CUP was required, criteria for removing the tank if it was no longer used as well as more specific landscaping requirements could be imposed. Councilmember Dawson clarified her concern was with the potential removal of a significant tree. Mr. Chave assured the siting of this tank would not result in the removal of any significant trees. Mr. Bowman advised there was no specific proposal by the developer for a rainwater collection system; PCC has expressed interest in pursuing a platinum LEED building that would include a rainwater collection system. The architect provided potential types of rainwater collection structures but the actual structure has not yet been selected. Councilmember Dawson commented her concern was broader than this site; she envisioned a circumstance where installing an environmentally friendly rainwater collection tank would be detrimental to other aspects of the environment and wanted to ensure that did not happen. Mr. Snyder commented one of the reasons staff had begun discussions with the Planning Board was to determine their interest in pursuing a CUP. He noted there were a number of structures that the City allowed in the setback such as fences, mailboxes, lampposts, etc. The initial approach used in the interim zoning ordinance was to treat it as an allowed use in the setback. As more conditions/requirements were imposed, there would need to be a mechanism to review those issues and hold a hearing. If the Council had concerns regarding how the ordinance would be administered, the Council could amend the interim ordinance or could allow the Planning Board to consider the issues that had been raised. He noted another issue was removal of the tank if the business were closed. If the Council had concerns with how the ordinance would be applied, the interim ordinance was unnecessary and the Council should wait for the Planning Board to develop an ordinance. Councilmember Dawson preferred to consider tanks on an individual basis rather than a blanket permit. She asked the timing of the Planning Board’s process and PCC’s timing. Mr. Chave answered the interim ordinance was good for six months. If the Planning Board was willing to consider this issue independently it could be accomplished within six months; if they combined it with low impact development, it may take longer. He recommended the Council relay their preference regarding timing to the Planning Board. Councilmember Wambolt stressed the tank would be an unattractive addition to that site, something typically seen in an industrial area. He agreed with Mr. Tupper’s assessment, noting it would take nearly a lifetime to amortize the cost of the tank. The only reason they were installing the rainwater collection tank was to achieve a platinum LEED building to enhance their brand. 6A. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Natalie Shippen, Edmonds, recalled at the April 1 meeting, the Council directed staff and the Community Services/Development Services Committee to discuss a bond to purchase a portion of three parcels - the Antique Mall, Skippers and Harbor Square. The Committee responded 6-7 weeks would be Packet Page 19 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 17 required to prepare a report. She pointed out Harbor Square was already publicly owned. She posed the following questions: 1) What is the size in acreage or square footage of each of the three private properties within the boundaries of Main, SR 104, Dayton and the railroad - the Antique Mall, Skippers and ferry parking? 2) What is the appraised value of each of the three private properties? She recommended the City hire an appraiser as there was little point in discussing the purchase unless the cost had been determined. And 3) What amount of land is required to accommodate the suggested civic projects such as an aquatic center, bowling green, museums, art structures, etc? She requested the City explain to the public the process of eminent domain in the event the owner of any of the three parcels will not sell to the City at appraised value and explain to the public the type of commercial uses, if any, that are allowed on public property. She recommended Council establish a date when they would make a decision whether to proceed with a public ballot to purchase the 6-7 acres of private property. She recommended Council allow the public to make the decision regarding a central park. Alvin Rutledge, Edmonds, referred to Ms. Shippen’s suggestion at the last meeting to form a task force. He provided a list of City committees from 1970, pointing out Ms. Shippen served on three. Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, referred to Mr. Snyder’s interpretation that the rainwater storage tank was not a structure and questioned how the building code applied to something that was not a structure. He requested a list of structures that were allowed in the setback. He commented the interim ordinance was intended to protect public health, safety and welfare, questioning how satisfying a green requirement protected the public health, safety or welfare. He expressed frustration that the tank would not be reviewed by the ADB and the public would have to look at this unattractive tank. Ray Martin, Edmonds, commented the Senior Center Board of Directors were out of touch with the members and with reality and they were opposed by the members. He pointed out this Board had maintained control since 1998 when the center became a non-profit corporation. None of the Board Members were elected, and although new officers had been elected, the Board continued to ignore the members and new officers and were brazenly uncooperative. The Board recently approved a $2500 payment to an attorney for his failed efforts to prevent election of officers. He recommended the contributing agencies, Snohomish County, the City and United Way, discontinue funding to the Center until the Board repaid the Center for the inappropriate expenditure of $2500. He advised Councilmembers Dawson and Bernheim would be guest speakers at tomorrow’s meeting, advising everyone was welcome to join the Senior Center. He commented the Board was unwilling to upgrade the computers at the Center and were now unable to provide an updated list of members. He summarized the Center would be looking to Snohomish County, the City, the United Way and possibly the IRS to resolve the crisis at the Center. COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON, TO EXTEND THE MEETING UNTIL 11:15 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. David Thorpe, Edmonds, referred to an Edmonds Beacon article that A.D. Shapiro was hosting a meeting tomorrow regarding Firdale Village redevelopment and expressed the hope that the City was involved via the Planning Board with outreach to those citizens. Mr. Bowman advised the Comprehensive Plan was amended following community meetings held in that area by the former Economic Development Director. The property owner was now interested in implementing those Comprehensive Plan policies. The community meeting was sponsored by the property owner who was represented by A.D. Shapiro Architects. Mr. Snyder commented Mr. Hertrich was confusing the building code with the zoning code; what could be built versus how it could be built. Council President Plunkett assured Ms. Shippen her questions would be answered in the near future via the Council’s process. Packet Page 20 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 18 6B. PROCLAMATION REGARDING NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATORS WEEK. Councilmember Dawson commented the public often heard about first responders - Fire, Police and Paramedics - but rarely were the telecommunicators in 9-1-1 dispatchers recognized. She read a proclamation declaring April 13-19, 2008 as National Telecommunicators Week in Edmonds and asked citizens to join in honoring these outstanding individuals. 7. STORMWATER ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT. City Engineer Dave Gebert advised the City lost its Stormwater Engineer in January and had been unsuccessful in hiring a replacement. During the Stormwater Engineer’s absence, Assistant City Engineer Don Fiene has conducted the most urgent functions. Mr. Fiene was also leaving the City’s employ, leaving the City without a qualified Stormwater Engineer to conduct stormwater reviews for private development projects and respond to citizen queries. Thus there was an urgent need to hire a consultant to provide interim stormwater engineering services. He was hopeful a new Stormwater Engineer would be hired within six months. He estimated 16 hours per week to conduct essential reviews, noting during this timeframe many of the stormwater engineering requirements would not be done such as capital project design. A selection panel comprised of Public Works Director Noel Miller, Development Services Director Duane Bowman and Mr. Gebert selected Brown and Caldwell, the firm that hired Mr. Fiene. Mr. Gebert noted this firm was the best qualified and with Mr. Fiene on their staff, the only firm that could immediately provide the services without a steep learning curve on the City’s processes and codes. He anticipated Mr. Fiene would be the primary stormwater engineer with tasks transitioning to a junior engineer under Mr. Fiene’s guidance. He relayed City Attorney Scott Snyder’s advice that there were no State statutes that prevented the use of a consultant who hired a City employee. He recognized the Council’s concern regarding possible impropriety of this practice. The matter was presented to the Finance Committee who asked that it be presented to the full Council. He summarized the contract with Brown and Caldwell was the only way to immediately provide stormwater engineering services. He advised other options were considered including hiring through a temporary agency or utilizing another consultant. Staff recommends the Council authorize staff to negotiate a Professional Services Agreement with Brown and Caldwell to provide interim stormwater engineering services for approval on the Consent Agenda. Council President Plunkett inquired about the cost. Mr. Gebert advised the cost had not yet been negotiated; typically the consultant’s hourly billing rate would be 2½ -3 times Mr. Fiene’s current rate; however, only 16 hours would be required rather than 40, thus the cost would be similar to Mr. Fiene’s current salary. Councilmember Dawson continued to have substantial concerns with the practice of hiring firms that hired City employees. She recommended establishing a policy that provided for a cooling off period between when a firm hired a City employee and when the City contracted with the firm. She requested staff provide a draft policy for Council consideration. Councilmember Wambolt was frustrated the City did not have a policy in place, recalling at the March 6, 2007 Council meeting the Council discussed the 220th Street project including an additional $140,000 expended for a Traffic Engineer who left the City to work for the consultant on the project and was deemed the only person qualified to complete the project. He pointed out although that person was deemed the most qualified, that project had a major flaw, no left turn lane from 9th onto 220th. He recalled the Council reached a consensus at that meeting that the City needed a policy and it was to be added to the retreat agenda. He noted it was not added to the retreat agenda but was discussed by the Finance Packet Page 21 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 19 Committee at their May meeting where it was agreed a policy would be developed. He questioned who was responsible for developing the policy. Councilmember Wambolt was not convinced that there was no one else who could provide this service to the City and the City needed to send a message to prospective employers of City staff that when they hired City employees, they got only the employee, not a guarantee of City business. Mayor Haakenson suggested the Finance Committee be directed to draft a policy that addressed Councilmembers Dawson and Wambolt’s concerns and could then be presented to the full Council for discussion. Councilmember Dawson recalled Administrative Services Director Dan Clements remarking a number of cities had similar policies that included exemptions when no one else was qualified, etc. She recalled the Council did give direction to staff to develop a policy for adoption. She asked why Brown and Caldwell was deemed the only firm that could provide this service. Mr. Gebert responded it was not that no other engineering firm could provide the service; Brown and Caldwell was the only firm that could provide the service without a steep learning curve and associated degradation of service and responsiveness to private developers and citizens. He advised the City could hire another firm and another stormwater engineer, but it would likely take a few weeks for the person to learn the City’s code, standards and procedures and familiarize themselves with projects in the system which would result in a delay to the City’s customers. Councilmember Dawson pointed out Brown and Caldwell had an advantage as they hired one of the City’s employees; now the City would be paying more to that firm than if the person remained in the City’s employ. Mr. Gebert answered his understanding was this firm had a significant backlog of work for Mr. Fiene and would be content if the City did not hire Mr. Fiene to do this work. He emphasized it was not engineering staff that would be penalized, it was the City’s customers - private developers who submit permit applications and already complain that the review takes too long. He advised the City could also hire through a temporary agency, however, that would take longer. Councilmember Dawson reiterated her desire for an ethics policy that the City not hire back employees via a consultant. She agreed it was appropriate to refer the policy to the Finance Committee to vet other cities’ policies, exemptions, etc. and present the policy to the Council for adoption. She questioned the nature of the delay that required hiring this firm. Councilmember Orvis advised the Finance Committee forwarded this to the full Council without a recommendation. He did not plan to support the staff recommendation. Councilmember Olson noted the Engineering Department already had a reputation for not completing reviews quickly and further delays would cause financial hardship. This was further complicated by Mr. Gebert’s impending retirement. She summarized the Council was being short sighted if they did not support staff’s recommendation. Councilmember Wambolt commented he had discussed this with two developers, one agreed with hiring the firm that hired Mr. Fiene and another said there were other firms that could do the work as city codes did not vary much. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSON, TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO NEGOTIATE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BROWN AND CALDWELL TO PROVIDE INTERIM STORMWATER ENGINEERING SERVICES. Councilmember Dawson advised she would support the motion with the request that the Council adopt a viable ethics policy. Packet Page 22 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 20 Councilmember Bernheim advised he would vote in favor of the motion due to the cost savings provided by Mr. Fiene’s expertise. He expressed support for developing an ethics policy, remarking if such a policy were in place, the City would incur much higher costs via another firm providing interim stormwater engineering services. Councilmember Wambolt questioned Councilmember Bernheim’s comment regarding the higher cost. Councilmember Bernheim responded Mr. Fiene could provide faster and more efficient service because he was familiar with the City’s codes. Further, Mr. Fiene was more likely to make correct decisions and would not require staff supervision. City Attorney Scott Snyder advised all standard consultant agreements contained clauses that prohibited contingent fees. UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION CARRIED (5-2), COUNCIL PRESIDENT PLUNKETT AND COUNCILMEMBERS DAWSON, OLSON, WILSON AND BERNHEIM IN FAVOR; AND COUNCILMEMBERS WAMBOLT AND ORVIS OPPOSED. 8. REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS OF APRIL 8, 2008. Community Services/Development Services Committee Councilmember Olson reported the Committee discussed a proposed resolution of environmental policies and principles, a work in progress, and recommended the Council adopt the resolution. She advised the potential for a bond/levy related to purchase of a portion of the three parcels known as the Downtown Master Plan area was not discussed as staff indicated they would need 6-7 weeks to prepare information. Councilmember Wilson reported the Committee also discussed a draft resolution proposed by the Mayor’s Climate Protection Committee that would establish a policy that all City buildings constructed or remodeled in the future meet a silver LEED standard, the cost of which would be largely offset by environmental benefits. The final item the Committee considered was a resolution for the City to join the Cascade Agenda Cities Program. The focus of the Cascade Agenda was to help preserve rural lands via making cities great places to live. Edmonds would be the first community in Snohomish County to join the Cascade Agenda and one of only five cities in Washington State. Finance Committee Councilmember Wambolt reported the Committee reviewed the first quarter budget amendment which was approved on the Consent Agenda. The Committee also discussed the Stormwater Engineering contract which the Council acted on tonight. The final item discussed was leasing the first floor of City Hall and revenue used for building maintenance. A decision was made not to lease the space due to IRS restrictions. Staff will provide a report to the Committee on other City owned property. Public Safety Committee Councilmember Dawson reported the Committee reviewed the 2008 Addendum to the Prisoner Detention Agreement with the City of Lynnwood which was approved on the Consent Agenda. The next item was discussion of a proposed anti-idling ordinance that required motorists to turn off engines when at rest for more than three minutes at a time. The Committee agreed to begin with an educational approach. The Committee then discussed an authorization for the Mayor to sign an Interagency Agreement between the Washington State Patrol and the Edmonds Fire Department that allows the City/Fire Department to be reimbursed when Department assets are mobilized for Washington State Fire Resource Mobilization Plan; this was approved on the Consent Agenda. The final item discussed was a pilot red light camera project. Staff will provide the Committee collision data and traffic analysis at a future meeting. 9. MAYOR'S COMMENTS Mayor Haakenson reported he was in Hekinan, Japan the first week of April celebrating the 20th anniversary of the City’s Sister City relationship with Hekinan as well as Hekinan’s 50th anniversary. He advised Hekinan showed the Edmonds delegation the usual good time. He noted it was unfortunate Edmonds was unable to reciprocate when the Hekinan delegation visited Edmonds, noting Hekinan’s Packet Page 23 of 208 Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes April 15, 2008 Page 21 Sister City program was operated by the city with a high degree of funding and Edmonds program was a volunteer program with a low level of funding. Mayor Haakenson offered Mr. Fiene the City’s best wishes in his career. 10. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Dawson congratulated Councilmember Wilson and his wife on the impending birth of their second child. Councilmember Bernheim inquired about Hekinan’s financial policies. Mayor Haakenson answered a Toyota factory was located in Hekinan. Councilmember Wilson advised the CEO of Steven’s Hospital would be speaking to the Council at next week’s meeting. He reported on the March 26 meeting regarding Lake Ballinger, advising the 35 participants included representatives from the five cities in the basin, the Department of Ecology, Washington State Department of Transportation, four legislators, staff from Snohomish and King County, and from Congressman Inslee’s office. Councilmember Wilson recognized the frustration that an ethics policy was not adopted a year ago, noting it was the Council’s job to establish policy. He relayed the public thought very little of the Council and felt the members were under-performing. He summarized it was the Council’s job to establish policy and vision and encouraged the Council not to shy away from those tasks. 11.

Community Services I. EDMONDS CROSSING Project Description Edmonds Crossing is a regional project intended to provide a long-term solution to current operational and safety conflicts between ferry, rail, automobile, bus, and pedestrian traffic in downtown Edmonds and along State Route 104. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) (including Washington State Ferries [WSF]), and City of Edmonds propose to relocate the existing state ferry terminal from Main Street, in downtown Edmonds, to Pt. Edwards, south of the downtown core. In the process, a multimodal center would be established that would integrate ferry, rail, and transit services into a single complex. A realigned SR 104 from its current intersection with Pine Street would provide access. The new complex would provide an upgraded ferry terminal designed to meet the operational requirements for accommodating forecast ferry ridership demand; a new rail station designed to meet intercity passenger (Amtrak) and commuter rail (Sounder) service; a transit center that would meet local bus system and regional transit system loading requirements; facilities that allow both vehicular commuters and walk-on passengers to utilize various transportation modes; parking, drop-off areas, retail/ concessionaire space, waiting areas; and a system linking these facilities to allow for the safe movement of users. City of Edmonds Z Community Services Packet Page 80 of 208 Significant Activities Since January 17, 2008 • April 2008 - The 2008 final state supplemental transportation budget (ESHB 2878) contains “placeholder” funding for Edmonds Crossing. The following lists the amount of funding budgeted for each biennium. • $5.056 million in 2007-2009 (Includes $2.1M for UNOCAL Pier removal) • $4.027 million in 2009-11 • $4.895 million in 2011-13 • $23.587 million in 2013-15 • $22.778 million in 2015-17 The funds referenced above are currently being used to fund Phase 2 activities, i.e., final design and permitting. Activities related to design work are currently underway, e.g., Edmonds Marsh hydrological study, Sound Transit culvert design work for the eventual daylighting of Willow Creek, and property acquisition negotiations for the remaining portion of land needed for right of way purposes east of the BNSF rail lines (Old UNOCAL site). Funding for this property acquisition will come from a 2003 Washington State appropriation. Washington State Ferries has also been working with City staff to explore the possibility of removing the existing UNOCAL pier, west of the existing BNSF rail lines and south of Marina Beach Park, well before commencing construction of Edmonds Crossing. The State 2007-2009 budgeted amount of $5.056M includes an amount of $2.1M to help fund this effort. Washington State efforts this biennium will also focus on meeting legislative requirements outlined in the 2007 Ferry Finance Bill ESHB 2358. The bill requires that the Edmonds Crossing project develop and gain legislative approval of a Pre-Design Study prior to moving forward with the formal design. Pre-design efforts this biennium will focus on confirming costs, reducing risk, and adding value to the project. II. SOUND TRANSIT (PHASE 1, AKA SOUND MOVE) Project Description During the past few years, Sound Transit has been implementing what is called the Sound Move Plan. One element calls for commuter rail services, otherwise known as Sounder. Commuter rail will eventually link Everett in the north with Seattle, Tacoma and Lakewood in the South, a total of 82 miles through three counties. Sounder is being implemented in three phases, one of which includes Everett to Seattle. Three commuter rail stations are planned along this corridor, i.e., Everett, Mukilteo and Edmonds. Everett-Seattle Sounder, at full operation, now calls for 8 trains per day, i.e., four round trips, and will include reverse trips. This is a reduction of two round trips from the originally proposed operational plan. Initial service will be phased in. The first roundtrip train run began in December, 2003. Edmonds Station is currently located between Main and Dayton Streets along both sides of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) tracks. The station area is also co-located with 2 Packet Page 81 of 208 Amtrak’s Edmonds Passenger Station. The existing Sounder commuter rail station includes a 400-foot-long platform, ADA mini-high, two ticket vending machines and parking lot with 200 spaces. Edmonds Station is considered an interim facility until such time Edmonds Crossing construction is completed. At this time, Edmonds Crossing is planned to include a Sounder Commuter Rail station. The current Edmonds Station project budget is $13.1M. A total of $4.0 million has been spent to date for agency administration, preliminary engineering, temporary improvements, and property acquisition and permits. The remaining budget should be sufficient to develop final design documents, acquire platform leases and construct the interim station. The cost estimates for interim improvements range from $2.11 million to $3.05 million (based on the cost estimates at the conceptual design level). In an attempt to address future needs in the area, a culvert is proposed to be installed near the Marina Beach property beneath both BNSF Railroad tracks, concurrent with the construction of a second track. This will allow for the eventual daylighting of Willow Creek at the time the Edmonds Crossing project is constructed. Significant Activities since January 17, 2008 • February 14, 2008 – Sound Transit facilitated a grade crossing diagnostic review on to evaluate the City of Edmonds’ request to determine if pedestrian gates are warranted at the north side of the Dayton Street grade crossing and the south side of the Main Street grade crossing. Sound Transit invited representatives from the following organizations and jurisdictions to participate in the grade crossing diagnostic field review: o BNSF Railway – owner of the railroad right of way o City of Edmonds – local roadway authority (Dayton Street – 085439G) o WSDOT Highway – state roadway authority (Main Street – 085445K) o Washington Utilities & Transportation Commission – state rail authority o Federal Railroad Administration – federal rail authority o Amtrak – inter-state passenger rail agency o KPFF Engineers – Edmonds Commuter Rail Station design consultants Edmonds Station update as provided by Sound Transit The existing Station will be improved during the next two years. A new platform will be constructed on the west side of the existing tracks. The west side of the station will include four shelters, illumination, and signage along with closed circuit cameras and a public address system. The east side of the station area will include one shelter, bike lockers, and ticket vending machines along with the other amenities listed above. Construction will be phased as follows: o Construct west platform o Install second main track and grade crossings at Dayton and Main Streets (constructed by BNSF Railway) 3 Packet Page 82 of 208 o Construct east platform The constraints on phasing are as follows: o West platform must be complete and in service before second main track construction can begin o Second main track subballast must be in place before east platform construction can start Edmonds Station Milestones o Advertise Invitation For Bidding June 2008 o Construction Notice To Proceed September 2008 o Service from west platform begins 1st quarter 2009 o Service from east platform begins 4th quarter 2009 III. SOUND TRANSIT 2 AND REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENT DISTRICT Expanding the regional mass transit system In November 2007, voters turned down a Regional Transportation Investment District and Sound Transit package of road and transit investments. Sound Transit Board of Directors has since been taking a renewed look at what transit service expansions would make the largest and quickest improvements for commuters for the least cost. Significant Activities Since January 17, 2008 • March 19, 2007 – Joni Earl, Sound Transit Chief Executive Officer, attended a City and Towns Dinner to present information on Sound Transit activities and respond to questions from people attending the dinner. IV. UNOCAL AKA CHEVRON SITE CLEANUP Project Description The UNOCAL property currently consists of a lower yard which currently contains petroleum contamination resulting from more than 60 years of operation. Chevron, which recently acquired UNOCAL, is now the entity responsible for cleaning up the site. Significant Activities since January 17, 2008 • January, February, March and April 2008 – Chevron contractors continued cleanup activities such as excavation and soil removal. • March 12, 2008 – At the request of the Washington State Department of Ecology, Chevron SFSP hosted a Stakeholder Status Meeting to discuss the status of Interim Action activities being conducted on the former Unocal Edmonds Bulk Terminal lower yard. Topics discussed included: interim action progress summary; interim action work and workplan submittal, sediment removal and Willow Creek restoration, monitoring well 4 Packet Page 83 of 208 installation and groundwater monitoring, Interim Action As-Built Report, and completion schedule for Interim Action activities. NOTE: Chevron hopes to begin the second phase of remedial action in early July, 2008. V. EDMONDS PUBLIC FACILITIES DISTRICT Overview The City Council, pursuant to state law, approved the formation of the Public Facilities District (PFD) at its April 24, 2001 meeting. A PFD is a separate municipal corporation that has authority to undertake the design, construction, operation, promotion and financing of a Regional Center in the city. The Public Facilities District board consists of five members originally appointed by the City Council on June 19, 2001. Phase 1A renovation of the original Edmonds High School Auditorium into a first class Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA) and multipurpose facility was completed in September of 2006. Significant Activities Since January 17, 2008 • March 5, 2008 – The Edmonds Center for the Arts hosted a donor appreciation event to thank donors for their time and financial contributions to the facility. VI. SNOHOMISH COUNTY PAINE FIELD Overview On July 14, 2004, a Mead & Hunt Inc. Business Travel Survey was issued which focused on the market potential and options for Paine Field. On August 20, 2004, a Snohomish County Citizen Cabinet issued an Economic Development Final Report -Blueprint for the Economic Future of Snohomish County. Both reports put Paine Field in the regional spotlight as they highlight the possibility of using Paine Field for commercial aircraft operations, thus changing its general aviation status. Significant Activities Since January 17, 2008 • February 7, 2007 – Longterm Aviation Transportation Study Aviation Planning Council meeting. Meeting objectives: o Understand roles and responsibilities in transportation system planning o Understand state and national aviation trends o Learn about the role of aviation in the multi-modal transportation system o Learn about the role of aviation in the state economy • March 6, 2008 - Longterm Aviation Transportation Study Aviation Planning Council meeting. Meeting objectives and agenda: o Review of aviation legislation and policy o Understand access, preservation and safety issues 5 Packet Page 84 of 208 o Concurrence on Council Purpose and Need Statement • April 3, 2008 Meeting objectives and agenda: o Overview of the different roles airports play in the system o Briefing on trends in commercial service and on future activity anticipated in the aviation system o Overview of how policies can provide a foundation for shaping aviation interests in the state transportation system VII. RAILROAD QUIET ZONE Overview As discussed on a few occasions, there is an expressed desire of the City Council and Port of Edmonds to establish a quite zone along the City's shoreline. A quiet zone is a section of rail line that contains one or more consecutive public crossings at which locomotive horns are not routinely sounded. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has required horns to be sounded to warn motorists and pedestrians at public crossings nation-wide for quite some time. The FRA issued a rule on April 27, 2005, which became effective on June 24, 2005, clarifying these requirements as follows: o Requires the sounding of locomotive horn approaching every public crossing (replacing state laws) o Horn shall be sounded at least 15 sec but no more than 20 sec before a locomotive enters railroad crossing and not greater than ¼ mile away o Sec. 229.129 defines minimum and maximum train horn decibel levels (96dB-110dB) The FRA rule also provides exceptions where risk is minimized enabling communities to establish quiet zones by reducing the risk caused by lack of horns. Quiet Zones, and partial Quiet Zones, can now be established by a Public Authority with jurisdiction for the roadway at a crossing, provided Quiet Zones include more than one public authority (all agencies must agree and actions must be taken jointly), and Quiet Zones may be established irrespective of state law. Partial Quiet Zones are when train horns are not routinely sounded for a specified period of time, e.g., during the evening and/or nighttime hours. Local governments have two ways of creating a full or partial Quiet Zone, i.e., 1) Show that the lack of a horn does not pose a significant safety risk, and 2) Implement safety measures to reduce excess risk associated with no horn. In addition to activities conducted on this matter in the past, I have been in contact with Railroad Controls Limited (RCL), a railroad signal and communications company. This company serves as a resource for railroads needing help with signaling and communications. They have established contractual relationships with more than fifty railroads, including commuter rail systems, and currently maintain over 2,100 highway-railroad grade crossings, 6 Packet Page 85 of 208 warning systems and wayside signal systems. Railroad Controls Limited works closely with American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association (AREMA) and Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) committees in the development of standards and recommended practices pertaining to Quiet Zones. RCL manufactures Automated Horn Systems (Wayside Horns) and the Exit Gate Management Systems (Four-Quadrant Gate Systems) both approved for use in creating FRA approved Quiet Zones. They also have expertise in assisting communities or consultants in the design and implementation of Quiet Zone projects. On March 21, 2007, three Wayside Horn demonstrations took place along the BNSF corridor and included two public roadway crossings located where Dayton and Main Streets intersect with the BNSF rail line, and at 162nd Street at 76th Avenue near the Meadowdale Pier. A Public Works Boom Truck was used to position the Wayside Horn to the necessary heights and locations. Decibel meters were also used to set the decibel level of the wayside horn and determine the differences in noise levels between the train horns and the wayside horns. Following the demonstration, Railroad Controls Limited Railroad Controls Limited (RCL) prepared a Draft Quiet Zone Evaluation Report. The draft document will not be finalized until issues raised by City staff have been addressed. See related information below. Significant Activities Since January 17, 2008 • January, February, March and April, 2008 – Prior to preparing a final Quiet Zone Analysis Report, RCL stated they needed to talk to BNSF representatives to obtain information that will allow RCL to finalize the attached report. As a follow- up to the last Quarterly report, I again contacted RCL to request that they finalize the draft Quiet Zone Analysis report as quickly as possible and incorporate any information obtained from BNSF that will allow us to make a decision as to whether installing wayside horns is a viable option. In April, I was contacted by a RCL representative who informed me that the person working on the report no longer works with their company. The representative stated that he will now be working on the report and will have it finalized the week of April 14-18, 2008. VIII. WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES – FINANCING LEGISLATION Overview As mentioned in past Quarterly Reports, during the 2007 legislative session, the Legislature passed Engrossed Substitute House Bill (ESHB) 2358 - “the Ferry Bill” - and an associated biennial transportation budget ESHB 1094. Each piece of legislation contains specific policy and operational directives to assess the efficiency and costs related to how Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)/Washington State Ferries (WSF) provides service. The results of the studies conducted to address the legislation are intended to derive strategies for how WSDOT/WSF operates in the future. 7 Packet Page 86 of 208 The legislation identifies specific topics for study and requires new levels of cooperation and collaboration among the Legislature (through the Joint Transportation Committee (JTC) and the new JTC Ferry Policy Subcommittee), the Washington State Transportation Commission (WSTC), and WSDOT/WSF. These directives follow the December 2006 JTC Ferry Financing Study (also referred to as Ferry Financing Phase 1) and are next steps in the process of developing a policy framework to address the long-term sustainability of WSDOT/WSF. An overall approach to the Technical Work Program is to treat the Legislative directives and initiatives as a single work program and design an organizational approach that accomplishes two major objectives, (1) effectively deliver the work plan elements in a timely manner and (2) engage external stakeholders throughout this program for an objective outcome. The WSF internal staffing structure for the Ferry Bill Work Program has three components: o WSF Ferry Finance Workgroup has responsibility for the entire WSDOT/WSF program. o WSF Technical Working Teams are defined for each major work element. The work groups have line responsibility for individual work plan elements and report to the WSF Ferry Finance Workgroup. One WSF Ferry Finance Workgroup member serves as team lead for each of the work teams. o WSF Technical Coordination Team: The work team leads are responsible to ensure the integration of work teams analysis and outcomes. Given the importance and visibility of this work program, it is necessary to keep key stakeholders informed throughout this process. As work is developed and reviewed by these advisory teams, the results are shared with the Joint Transportation Committee and Washington State Transportation Commission members and staff. These interactions are both to share findings and get feedback on progress. To assist with the process, the following teams, committees, and other entities have been requested to meet and discuss the work program. o Local agency review team. An agency review team is being formed to bring key local agency staff together on a regular basis in a facilitated forum to review and discuss work products. This will be a broad based group that would consist of staff from potentially affected jurisdictions for review and comment on technical analyses. Membership of this group is intended to be staff from transit partners, community technical staff (counties and/or cities) and Regional Transportation Planning Organizations (RTPOs). o Ferry Advisory Committees. The FAC’s will be engaged starting in September through the regular FAC process by reporting progress, sharing work products, and offering opportunities for discussion at monthly Executive Committee meetings and public meetings. o Webpage and E-mail Listserv. A webpage will be created to provide the public with current information on WSDOT/WSF efforts and also serve as mechanism to review 8 Packet Page 87 of 208 information and provide feedback. An e-mail listserv will be maintained and updates will be sent as new information becomes available. o City/County Councils and Chambers of Commerce. WSDOT/WSF will contact city and county councils, and local chambers of commerce at key milestones to share progress and offer briefings. The draft scopes of work were developed based on the direction in the legislation. All revisions will be judged against the “legislative filter” or what is specifically required of WSDOT/WSF in the legislation. Significant Activities Since January 17, 2008 • January 24, 2008 – The Local Agency Review Team met to discuss a variety of topics including a Washington State Transportation Commission commissioned survey, progress update on technical work elements such as work plan elements, communications and outreach efforts, ridership forecasting update, operational strategies, pricing strategies, terminal design standards, and level of service framework. • March 20, 2008 – The Local Agency Review Team (LART) met to discuss a variety of topics including operational strategies, pricing strategies, review of evaluation criteria, role of LART during the evaluation process, communications and outreach efforts, level of service standards, and baseline ridership projections. During the meeting, I asked whether WSF plans to host a FAC meeting in the Edmonds/Mukilteo area. Sometime in June, 2008 was the response. • April 3, 2008 – I contacted WSF to ask when WSF representatives could provide an update on WSF activities as they relate to requirements of Ferry Finance Engrossed Substitute House Bill (ESHB) 2358, and Edmonds Crossing. Additionally, as a follow- up to discussions that took place during March 25 and April 1, 2008 City of Edmonds Council meetings, I also requested that WSF be prepared to discuss WSDOT and WSF ownership of SR104 and the WSF parking lot located between James and Main Streets. Economic Development I. PARTNERSHIPS Goal 1, Policy 1f of the Edmonds Economic Development Plan is to partner with business and economic development organizations, and address feedback from the business community. Significant Activities Since January 17, 2008 9 Packet Page 88 of 208 • April 4, 2008 – Following up on past attempts to speak with staff at the Mount Vernon regional office of Washington Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development (CTED), I spoke with Dick Larman, Regional Services Managing Director. During our conversation, I invited his Mount Vernon staff to meet with the Greater Edmonds Chamber of Commerce to discuss the services, tools, and resources the agency provides to help retain businesses, spur investment, and attract companies. They also provide communities with access to economic development training and export assistance services and serve as a conduit for other CTED agency services. • January, February, March and April, 2008 – I worked with Greater Edmonds Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee members to refine and enhance the Everything Edmonds Website. Everythingedmonds.com is a web site designed to be the major site for information about Edmonds, e.g., business names, products and locations, calendars of events, recreational programs, entertainment, and links to other important local web sites. An updated website is planned to be launched on May 1, 2008. • March and April, 2008 – Working with the Greater Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, an ad is currently being prepared for the June issue of Alaska Airlines Magazine. By combining resources, the City and Chamber are able to leverage our advertising dollars, thus minimizing the costs for each entity. The June issue will contain a Special Tourism Washington Section sponsored by the state. This section will also be overprinted for bonus distribution by the state in a special mailing they will do for advertisers. In an effort to strategically market Edmonds in a highly visible, timely, and cost effective way, the Economic Development Department chose the magazine because Alaska Airlines carries more than 1.98 million passengers each month and one-third of all passengers live in the Northwest market. Alaska Airlines is the number one carrier on the west coast and also offers forty (40) daily flights into Vancouver BC, as well as serving travelers throughout around Western Canada. • March 14, and April 16, 2008 – I have been working with staff from the Greater Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, Edmonds Community College (EdCC), and Port of Edmonds to develop tools for strengthening businesses and the business climate within Edmonds. Our initial focus has been to promote various ways the Edmonds Community College Business Training Center can help Edmonds’ businesses. Initial efforts include promotion of EdCC workshops and training related to business planning, financial basics and marketing to sell. Additionally, we are currently discussing how to survey the Edmonds business community to learn what types of training and educational services would be most beneficial. II. BUSINESS EXPANSION, RETENTION, AND DIVERSIFICATION OF TAX BASE 10 Packet Page 89 of 208 Edmonds Economic Development Plan Goal 1, Policy 1a states: Encourage and expand business expansion and retention programs. Goal 3 calls for diversifying the tax base and increasing revenues to support local services. Significant Activities Since January 17, 2008 • January, February, March and April, 2008 – I’ve contacted several property and business owners in attempts to recruit businesses and discuss potential leasing and redevelopment of buildings and land. • January, February, March and April, 2008 – I have been monitoring the permit process related to PCC and providing updates to its management team. At this time, PCC plans to open a store at 100th Avenue West and Edmonds Way in August of 2008. • April 15, 2008 – I attended the Workforce Development Council of Snohomish County annual meeting. III. IMPROVING BUSINESS CLIMATE Edmonds Economic Development Plan Goal 2, Policy 2h states: Work to identify and “brand” distinct business districts, where there is a natural synergy, such as the Highway 99 International District, the Stevens Hospital Medical Corridor, and the 4th Avenue Arts Corridor. Significant Activities Since January 17, 2008 Highway 99 Enhancement Project • January, February, March, and April 2008 – Frances Chapin, Dave Gebert, Noel Miller and I continue to work with a consultant to finalize civil engineering, electrical plans and artwork components. The project includes adding street lighting fixtures and artwork along the portion of Highway 99 passing through the International District. • April 4, 2008 – WSDOT determined that funds returned to them from five of nine projects awarded within the most recent SAFETEA-LU time period are eligible for reprogramming. The funds were returned because the projects were either completed under budget or cancelled. Because the City of Edmonds Highway 99 Project was originally recommended to receive funds during this time period, Edmonds was notified that the Highway 99 Enhancement Project is eligible to receive additional funding from a portion of the reprogrammed funds. Project Sponsors we’re also notified that the Puget Sound Regional Council Regional Transportation Improvement Plan Amendment 08-02, was approved by the Federal Government and is now a part of the State TIP. This means the additional $57,000 granted to the Highway 99 Enhancement Project is secure. The amount approved to date is now $373,000. IV.

The Tourism cluster includes hospitality, culinary and recreation industries, such as hotels, restaurants, spas, guided tours, sports, and cultural centers, as well as airlines, cruises, destination retail and conventions. The cluster has a large workforce, with significant growth potential in employers, employees, and training programs for the industry. I contacted Chris Strow, Principal Economic Policy Analyst with the Puget Sound Regional Council to express my interest in learning about, and possibly participating in, activities related to Tourism Clusters. As a community that is attempting to improve its tourism climate, any information and tangible recommendations generated by the Partnership could be quite beneficial. According to the newsletter, the Prosperity Partnership's next steps are to conduct a strategy development process that includes the involvement of a diverse group of key stakeholders. I offered assistance in these efforts and requested receiving any information related to workshops, seminars, and opportunities for involvement. Mr Strow stated that PSRC will keep Edmonds in the loop as this effort moves forward. Items of Interest Harbor Square / Antique Mall Redevelopment Program Significant Activities Since January 17, 2008 o March 25, 2008 – During the Edmonds City Council meeting, City staff presented information about the existing redevelopment framework established by the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code as it relates to the Downtown Master Plan Area.

Draft Resolution Establishing the City of Edmonds Sustainable Building Policy Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:04/22/2008 Submitted By:Rob Chave Time:Consent Department:Planning Type:Action Review Committee:Community/Development Services Action:Approved for Consent Agenda Information Subject Title Draft Resolution establishing the City of Edmonds Sustainable Building Policy. Approved for the consent agenda by the Community Services/Development Services Committee on 04/08/08. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Approve the proposed resolution and Sustainable Building Policy (Exhibit 1). Previous Council Action This item was reviewed and recommended for approval by the full City Council by the Community Services/Development Services Committee on April 8, 2008. Narrative The Council's Community Services/Development Services Committee and the Edmonds U.S. Mayor’s Climate Protection Committee have both recommended that the City Council adopt the attached draft resolution establishing a City of Edmonds Sustainable Building Policy. This policy would require the City to meet a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver rating on new and renovated City buildings that exceed a specified threshold. The purpose of this policy is for the City to demonstrate its commitment to sustainable building and to serve as an example for achieving sustainable building practices. The draft Edmonds Sustainable Building Policy is patterned after a similar policy adopted by the City of Seattle, but has been modified to be appropriate to the City of Edmonds. As an example, an Edmonds-specific change is the encouragement of remodeling projects to consider life cycle costing even when a silver LEED certification isn't required, reflecting Edmonds' relative emphasis on smaller buildings and maintenance projects. This resolution was developed by the Climate Committee working with City of Edmonds staff, and all are convinced that the policy represents a desirable - and achievable - goal for the City to meet.

WHEREAS, in September, 2006, the City of Edmonds formally expressed support for the Kyoto Protocol and adopted the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement by Resolution No. 1129, and joined the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) by Resolution No. 1130.; and WHEREAS, Edmonds’ Citizens Committee on the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement has developed a Sustainable Building Policy; and WHEREAS, representatives of City departments with key involvement in planned City construction projects have been involved in the development of the Sustainable Building Policy; and WHEREAS, the City desires that its buildings and facilities be models of environmental and economic stewardship, contributing to the City’s goals of protecting, conserving and enhancing the region’s environmental resources while setting a community standard of sustainable building; and WHEREAS, adopting the Sustainable Building Policy will help ensure that new and renovated City facilities will be models of environmental stewardship; and WHEREAS, the Sustainable Building Policy utilizes the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system and the Energy Star program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, both of which provide a nationally recognized, common language for defining building sustainability; NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: The Sustainable Building Policy in Exhibit A is adopted as City policy and is hereby endorsed by the City Council. It is the intent of the City Council that the Sustainable Building Policy will apply to all new City-owned facilities greater than 5,000 square feet. Renovations of existing structures that exceed 50% of the assessed value of such buildings shall also meet this standard. The Council recognizes, however, that it may not be feasible to immediately achieve Citywide adherence to the policy for those projects which are already in construction phase. The council further acknowledges that it retains the ability to waive any of the provisions of the Sustainable Building Policy at its sole Packet Page 95 of 208 discretion when necessary to preserve the public health, safety or welfare in emergency situations. RESOLVED this ___ day of _________, 2008. APPROVED: __________________________________ MAYOR, GARY HAAKENSON ATTEST/AUTHENTICATED: CITY CLERK, SANDRA S. CHASE FILED WITH THE CITY CLERK: PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL: RESOLUTIION NO. ____ Packet Page 96 of 208 Edmonds Sustainable Building Policy Page 1 Exhibit A City of Edmonds Sustainable Building Policy Section 1: PURPOSE The purpose of a Citywide policy on sustainable building is to demonstrate the City’s commitment to environmental, economic, and social stewardship, to yield cost savings to the City taxpayers through reduced operating costs, to provide healthy work environments for staff and visitors, and to contribute to the City’s goals of protecting, conserving, and enhancing the region’s environmental resources. Additionally, the City hopes to set a community standard of sustainable building. Section 2: ORGANIZATIONS AFFECTED All City departments and offices and their contractors responsible for financing, planning, designing, developing, constructing and managing City-owned facilities and buildings. Section 3: DEFINITIONS Sustainable Building Sustainable building integrates building materials and methods that promote environmental quality, economic vitality, and social benefit through the design, construction and operation of the built environment. Sustainable building merges sound, environmentally responsible practices into one discipline that looks at the environmental, economic and social effects of a building or built project as a whole. Sustainable design encompasses the following broad topics: efficient management of energy and water resources, management of material resources and waste, protection of environmental quality, protection of health and indoor environmental quality, reinforcement of natural systems, and integrating the design approach. Life Cycle Cost Analysis An inclusive approach to costing a program, facility, or group of facilities that encompasses planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance over the useful life of the facilities and finally any decommissioning or disassembly costs. Life Cycle Cost Analysis looks at the net present value of design options as investments. The goal is to achieve the highest, most cost-effective environmental performance possible over the life of the project. LEED Rating System The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and Packet Page 97 of 208 Edmonds Sustainable Building Policy Page 2 development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria. LEED is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. There are four rating levels: Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Section 4: POLICY It shall be the policy of the City of Edmonds to finance, plan, design, construct, manage, renovate, maintain, and decommission its facilities and buildings to be sustainable. This applies to new construction and major remodels in which the total project square footage meets the criteria given. The US Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system and accompanying Reference Guide shall be used as a design and measurement tool to determine what constitutes sustainable building by national standards. New construction of all City-owned facilities and buildings greater than 5,000 square feet shall meet a minimum LEED Silver rating. Renovations of existing buildings that exceed this 5,000 square foot threshold shall also meet a minimum LEED Silver standard for all projects whose value is 50% or more of the assessed value of the structure. Improvements to buildings that do not exceed these thresholds shall seek to improve the building’s ability to meet LEED standards to the extent warranted by the scope and funding available for the project without impairing the ability of the City to maintain its buildings and facilities. In all cases, the City shall utilize budget planning and life cycle cost analysis in all of its building and facility decisions. Design and project management teams are encouraged to meet higher LEED rating levels. A Mayor’s Award for achieving a higher rating will be awarded. Section 5: PROCEDURES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The Directors of all City Departments whose responsibilities include planning, designing, constructing or renovating City-owned facilities shall be responsible for ensuring that facilities and buildings comply with Section 4. The City shall establish a Green Building Team, comprised of representatives from the Engineering, Planning, Building and Facilities Divisions. The Green Building Team shall be responsible for establishing and updating a LEED reference manual for helping provide technical expertise on specific sustainable building issues on a case by case basis, and coordinating LEED training programs within the City. The Green Building Team shall also establish the minimum number of credits required in each of the LEED categories applicable to City projects. Packet Page 98 of 208 Edmonds Sustainable Building Policy Page 3 Section 6: BUDGETING AND FINANCING All capital construction which falls under this policy will be expected to budget to meet at minimum the LEED Silver rating. Budget planning and life cycle cost analysis to achieve a higher rating – such as Gold or Platinum – is encouraged. Section 7: TRAINING City capital project managers currently managing or likely to manage projects which fit the criteria in Section 4 will be responsible to attend introductory LEED training and follow-up training as needed. The City shall encourage and support appropriate staff to receive LEED accreditations. Packet Page 99 of 208 D R A F T M I N U T E S Community Service/Development Services Committee Meeting April 8, 2008 Elected Officials Present: Staff Present: Peggy Pritchard Olson, Committee Chair Rob Chave, Planning Manager D.J. Wilson, Committee Member Noel Miller, Public Works Director Committee Chair Olson convened the meeting at 6:00 P.M. A. Proposed Resolution of environmental policy and principles. Committee member Wilson summarized that the current draft incorporates ideas from various parties and should be considered to be a “work in progress.” However, the draft is a good start and its main purpose of raising awareness of environmental policy issues has been largely achieved. The Committee concluded that Council adoption of the policy would provide a good indication of the Council’s current direction, and would provide valuable guidance and support to the Mayor’s U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Committee and the Planning Board as they continue their work on putting together the broader policy documents – such as comprehensive plan amendments that would be coming before Council prior to year’s end. The Committee agreed to add a section emphasizing the ongoing, “working” status of the policy document, and the expectation that it would be revisited over time. ACTION: Recommend adoption of the draft resolution by the full City Council. B. Discuss process for a potential bond / levy related to purchase of a portion of the three parcels known as the Downtown Master Plan Area – Waterfront Antique Mall, Harbor Square and Skippers properties. Committee Chair Olson announced that the Committee would not be discussing this item this evening. Council understood that staff would require at least 6-7 weeks to prepare information on this subject for the Committee to consider. Staff should consult with Committee members if there is any question about what should be included in the information developed for Committee consideration. This item will be rescheduled once the subject is ready to be discussed. ACTION: None required at this time. C. Draft Resolution establishing the City of Edmonds Sustainable Building Policy. Rob Chave and Noel Miller introduced the subject, indicating that this was recommended to the Council by the Mayor’s U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Committee. The draft was modeled in part after an example from the City of Seattle. In Edmonds’ case, the only City project of Packet Page 100 of 208 CS/DS Committee Minutes / April 8, 2008 Page 2 2 significance in the near term is the City Park Maintenance Facility, so the policy may not have a large impact on City building projects right away. However, that is why the proposed policy also emphasizes the importance of attempting to apply sustainable principles to minor remodels and improvements that don’t exceed the mandatory LEED thresholds. Staff views this as a reinforcement of methods and practices that are already in effect, but formalizes them as an example of what can be accomplished in this field. It was also noted that a national cost/benefit study concluded that the minor incremental cost (~2%) of achieving LEED Silver certification for City projects would more than pay for itself in reduced energy costs within a relatively short time. Adopting the resolution and sustainable building policy would add to the climate resolutions already adopted by the City Council and help establish Edmonds’ leadership position in this area. The Committee noted that it would be a good idea to schedule – separately – an update on actions the City has been taking to address climate-related concerns, similar to the updates that have previously been made on this subject. Staff agreed that such an update would be scheduled before full Council in the near future. ACTION: Recommend adoption of the draft resolution and policy by the full City Council. D. Draft Resolution joining the Cascade Agenda Cities Program. Rob Chave introduced this item. Mr. Chave attended an orientation meeting by the Cascade Agenda Cities Program staff, and felt that the program offered an opportunity for Edmonds to join other jurisdictions in supporting the Cascade Agenda’s efforts to preserve regional open space while also encouraging city efforts to make urban areas as desirable and livable as possible. The two goals go hand-in-hand, and the Cascade Agenda has come to realize that it can help achieve it’s open space mission by also supporting the enhancement of existing communities. It does not cost the City anything to join the Cascade Agenda Cities Program, and the benefits include the potential to share “best practices” and ideas with the Cascade Agenda and member cities, and obtain the Cascade Agenda’s support and knowledge as needed. In order to join, Edmonds has to pass a resolution supporting the Cascade Agenda Cities Program and designate a staff liaison, which would be Mr. Chave. The Committee agreed that this would be a good program to join, and would be a good way to partner with other jurisdictions and the knowledge embodied in the partners that are already part of the Cascade Agenda. ACTION: Recommend adoption of the draft resolution by the full City Council. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 6:45 P.M. Packet Page 101 of 208 AM-1528 2.F.

Stormwater Engineering Professional Services Agreement Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:04/22/2008 Submitted By:Dave Gebert Time:Consent Department:Engineering Type:Action Review Committee: Action:Approved for Consent Agenda Information Subject Title Authorization for Mayor to sign a Professional Services Agreement with Brown and Caldwell for Stormwater Engineering Services. This consent agenda item was discussed at the 04/15/08 City Council Meeting. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Council authorize the Mayor to sign a Professional Services Agreement with Brown and Caldwell for Stormwater Engineering Services. Previous Council Action Finance Committee reviewed this item on April 8, 2008 and forwarded it to the full Council for consideration. On April 15, 2008, Council authorized Staff to negotiate a Professional Services Agreement with Brown and Caldwell to provide interim stormwater engineering services. Narrative The City has an urgent need to hire an engineering consultant to provide interim stormwater engineering services for a short term period, estimated to be approximately 3 to 6 months, until the vacant Stormwater Engineer position can be filled. It is estimated that these services will be required approximately 16 hours per week to perform recurring stormwater engineering requirements until the City Stormwater Engineer position can be filled. During this time, only the bare essential, most urgent and time-sensitive stormwater requirements will be performed. Capital project designs and other, less urgent tasks will be deferred. Following established City procedures for selecting engineering consultants, a selection panel was appointed and selected Brown and Caldwell. See Attachment 1. Brown and Caldwell is clearly the best qualified and, with a former City employee on their staff, they are realistically the only firm qualified to immediately step in and be sufficiently knowledgeable of City codes, engineering standards and development procedures and requirements to meet our needs without a steep learning curve to overcome. On April 15, 2008, Council discussed this arrangement of contracting with a professional services firm which employs a former City employee, and authorized Staff to proceed with negotiation of Packet Page 137 of 208 firm which employs a former City employee, and authorized Staff to proceed with negotiation of a professional services agreement. Staff has negotiated a scope of services and budget with Brown and Caldwell. The scope of services includes a combination of recurring services (16 hours per week) and on-call task order capability on an as-needed basis. The total maximum not-to-exceed amount for the contract is $100,000. Funding for this contract will be from available Engineering Division salary budget due to vacant positions and from reimbursement from the utilities fund. The proposed Professional Services Agreement is provided as Attachment 2.

Adoption of Six-Year CIP Ordinance Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:04/22/2008 Submitted By:Conni Curtis Submitted For:Don Fiene Time:Consent Department:Engineering Type:Action Review Committee: Action: Information Subject Title Proposed ordinance adopting a Six-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the years 2008 through 2014. This consent agenda item was discussed at the 04/15/08 City Council Meeting. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Council adopt the proposed ordinance (Attachment 1). Previous Council Action City Council held public hearings on March 18, 2008 and on April 15, 2008 regarding the adoption of the 2008-2014 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as part of the City of Edmonds Comprehensive Plan. Narrative At the April 15, 2008 City Countil meeting, Council voted to approve the 2008-2014 Six-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), contingent on Staff reviewing minor discrepancies brought to their attention on CIP spreadsheets and project descriptions. Following consideration of comments addressed at the April 15 public hearing, the attached CIP has been revised as follows: 1. Fund 126-Real Estate Revenues are shown as $1,450,000 per year from 2011 to 2014, consistent with the total revenues going into Fund 125. 2. The project description for the Reservoir Security Project (Attachment 2) has been changed to reflect the correct cost estimate for the project ($45,000 in 2008 and $45,000 in 2009) to be consistent with the Fund 412-100 spreadsheet. 3. Staff reviewed the cost of the Odor Control project listed in Fund 414 and has determined that the cost estimates are correct.

Report on Meeting re: 196th St SW/ 88th Ave W Intersection Improvements Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:04/22/2008 Submitted By:Jana Spellman Submitted For:Councilmembers Pritchard Olson & Orvis Time:20 Minutes Department:City Council Type:Information Review Committee: Action: Information Subject Title Report on meeting with WSDOT regarding the 196th Street SW/ 88th Avenue W intersection improvements. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff N/A Previous Council Action In early 2007, the consultant Gray & Osborne was selected to conduct an engineering study at this intersection based on vehicular safety concerns. In December 2007, the recommendation from City Staff and the Consultant of a right turn only for the South approach by installation of a raised island was presented to City Council. This intersection currently doesn’t meet traffic signal warrants. As requested by City Council, a meeting was held with WSDOT on April 7, 2008, to review the interpretation of the traffic signal warrants. The attendees at the meeting were: • Councilmember Peggy Olson • Councilmember Dave Orvis • Mike Swires, WSDOT Snohomish Area Traffic Engineer • Russell East, WSDOT Assistant Regional Administrator • Mark Leth, WSDOT Regional Traffic Engineer • David Gebert, City Engineer • Don Fiene, Assistant City Engineer • Noel Miller, Public Works Director • Bertrand Hauss, Transportation Engineer Narrative Report on meeting with WSDOT, Councilmembers Pritchard Olson and Orvis, and staff regarding the 196th Street SW/ 88th Avenue W intersection improvements.

PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 196TH STREET SW/88TH AVENUE WEST INTERSECTION ENGINEERING STUDY. Transportation Engineer Bertrand Hauss explained in March 2007 the Council approved $20,000 to begin a study of the 196th Street SW/88th Avenue West intersection and Gray & Osborne was selected to prepare the engineering study. In November 2007 the City and Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) recommended improvements and their recommendation was approved by the Community Services/Development Services Committee and forwarded to the City Council for a public hearing. Tamara Nack, Gray & Osborne, explained the purpose of the study was to evaluate operational and design deficiencies of the 196th Street SW/88th Avenue West intersection as well as evaluate alternates. She displayed a vicinity map, identifying 196th Street SW (also known as Puget Drive and SR 524), 88th Avenue West and the dead-end portion of 196th Street. She pointed out an important component in the evaluation was 196th Street SW was a principal arterial and State Route which required that WSDOT approve any improvements. She identified 88th Avenue W as a collector and the dead-end portion of 196th Street as a local access street. Ms. Nack identified speed limits on 196th Street SW and results of their speed study: East of 88th Avenue West West of 88th Avenue West Average 85th Percentile Average 85th Percentile 32 mph 36 mph 34 mph 39 mph Next she reviewed the accident history for the intersection for the past three years (2004-2006), explaining there had been eight accidents at the intersection attributable to the design of the intersection - one in 2004, three in 2005 and four in 2006. She advised there were three accidents from the north leg, one accident from a vehicle turning left onto 88th; the other four accidents occurred on the south leg, two rear-end accidents and two collision accidents. Next she reviewed traffic counts, summarizing there were approximately 13,000 vehicles per day on 196th Street SW, 1300 vehicles per day on the south leg of 88th Avenue W, and 400 vehicles on the north leg of 88th Avenue West. She summarized the majority of movement was on 196th. She identified peak hour volumes (7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 to 5:00 p.m.), 1,000 vehicles on 196th, 120 on the north leg of 88th and 60 on the south leg of 88th. Ms. Nack explained in order to evaluate intersections, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) was used for geometric design and the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) was used to determine whether a signal or stop signs were warranted. She displayed a map of the intersection and reviewed existing curvature and sight distance. She reviewed the intersection’s geometric design deficiencies: Existing AASHTO Horizontal Curve 360’ 485’ Intersection Sight Distance South Leg Left Turn 280’ 470’ Right Turn 400’ 382’ North Leg Left Turn 455’ 470’ Packet Page 176 of 208 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 4, 2007 - 7 - Exhibit 2 Right Turn 535’ 382’ Ms. Nack explained the City had adopted a level of service (LOS) D. She reviewed average delay per vehicle for a stop control intersection, advising the existing LOS at the intersection was between C and D; installation of a 4-way stop would reduce the LOS to F. She reviewed the average delay per vehicle for a signalized intersection. She compared the LOS for a signal at this intersection to the existing LOS: Road A.M. P.M. Signal Existing Signal Existing Intersection C C C C 196th Street SW (westbound) C A C A Puget Drive (northeast bound) C A C A 88th Avenue West (southbound) C D B D 88th Avenue West (northbound) B B C C She displayed a list of 11 signal warrants in the MUTCD, summarizing at a minimum an intersection would need to meet one of the criteria to warrant a signal; the volumes on 88th Avenue West were not high enough to meet the volume criteria: Warrant 1: Minimum Vehicular Volume Warrant 2: Interruption of Continuous Traffic Warrant 3: Minimum Pedestrian Volume (100 pedestrians/hour) Warrant 4: School Crossings Warrant 5: Progressive Movement Warrant 6: Accident Experience (at least 5 accidents/year) Warrant 7: Systems Warrant 8: Combination of Warrants Warrant 9: Four-Hour Volumes Warrant 10: Peak Hour Delay Warrant 11: Peak Hour Volume She reviewed the alternatives: • Alternative A: No Improvement • Alternative B: Limit Access on the north and south legs - left turn movements for traffic southbound on 88th would be restricted, allowing straight through movement or right turn. She displayed a map identifying out-of-direction travel in the neighborhood, estimating that approximately 1,000 vehicles per day would be rerouted through the neighborhood. • Alternative C: Four Way Stop Control ($1,000) - warrants are not met, LOS drops to F and results in increased noise and air pollution due to stopping vehicles. • Alternative D: Traffic Signal ($344,000) - warrants are not met, LOS C, results in increased noise and air pollution due to stopping vehicles, and increased rear-end accidents due to stops on 196th Street SW. • Alternative E: Intersection Realignment ($2,369,000) - high cost attributable to retaining walls due to the slope, drainage issues, and acquiring right-of-way. • Alternative F: Roundabout ($3,966,000) - high cost due to reducing the current 8% grade to the required 4% grade. • Alternative G: Limit Access eastbound ($15,000) - vehicles traveling north on 88th could turn right only; left turns and straight through travel would not be permitted. There would be no change in the movement of traffic traveling southbound on 88th. Packet Page 177 of 208 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 4, 2007 - 8 - Exhibit 2 Ms. Nack explained staff met with WSDOT to review the study and alternatives; WSDOT will not support alternative C or D because the intersection did not meet the warrants in the MUTCD. WSDOT also did not support alternatives E or F primarily due to the cost. She reviewed the recommendation, Alternative G, explaining WSDOT supports this alternative, the cost is approximately $15,000, the improvement addresses the sight distance issue on the south leg, and there is no impact on Community Transit or Edmonds School District bus routing. Councilmember Orvis asked whether accident data for 2007 was available. Ms. Nack answered no. Councilmember Orvis commented there were six accidents listed for 2006 and questioned why two were excluded. Ms Nack answered one was a single vehicle accident that was not attributable to sight distance at the intersection and the other accident was a rear-end westbound on 196th due to vehicle stopping for a bicycle. Councilmember Orvis asked whether excess speed due to the absence of a signal could have caused the first accident. Ms. Nack answered she did not believe so. Councilmember Orvis referred to Warrant 7 which relates to trends in volume, noting the study identified that as unknown for the signal and asked whether that could be established with further study. Ms. Nack answered there was a very low probability it would meet the warrant. Councilmember Orvis asked if realignment of the intersection would allow it to meet the warrant for a stop sign. She responded the challenge with installing a 4-way stop at the intersection was it would drop the LOS to F and based on her discussions with WSDOT, they would not support stop signs. Councilmember Wambolt questioned whether the sight distance could be improved if the speeds of traffic from Puget Drive were reduced. Ms. Nack agreed there was a correlation between speed and sight distance; the lower the speed limit the less sight distance was required. Councilmember Wambolt commented the speed limit downhill on Puget Drive was 30 mph. Ms. Nack agreed, noting uphill it was 35 mph. She noted a speed study would be required to change the speed limit. Councilmember Wambolt commented the speed limit may not need to be changed, only enforced. He suggested installing speed monitors such as were installed on 220th Street that display a driver’s speed which may cause drivers to slow down. Ms. Nack commented their study showed the current average speed was 32-34 mph and the 85th percentile was 34-39 mph which means the majority of drivers were traveling the speed limit. Councilmember Wambolt commented drivers traveling the speed limit was not his experience when traveling in that area. Councilmember Plunkett asked whether ferry traffic at the Edmonds terminal was increasing. City Engineer Dave Gebert agreed increases in ferry traffic were projected. Mayor Haakenson commented the City was working with WSDOT and Lynnwood to direct all ferry traffic southbound on Hwy. 99 to SR 104 to keep traffic off 196th. (Councilmember Moore left the meeting at 8:03 p.m.) Councilmember Plunkett asked what the State would say if the City asked for a signal at that intersection. Based on his experience with WSDOT, Mr. Gebert anticipated WSDOT would say no. Ms. Nack explained staff met with WSDOT and they said no to a signal because it did not meet the warrants. If the City wanted a signal at this intersection, she recommended continuing to monitor volumes and accidents at the intersection and once they met the warrants, advocate for a signal. Councilmember Orvis asked whether WSDOT’s negative response was based on warrants and not LOS. She stated it was based on the warrants. She reiterated the volume of traffic on 88th was too low to warrant a signal at this point. Packet Page 178 of 208 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 4, 2007 - 9 - Exhibit 2 Councilmember Orvis asked about the warrants at other intersections on 196th. Ms. Nack answered she only considered this intersection. Mr. Hauss advised the records for the 196th Street SW/80th Avenue West intersection indicated it met the warrants; in 1980 there were a total of four right-angle accidents between westbound and southbound traffic. The City obtained a grant for that intersection and the signal was approved by WSDOT. Councilmember Dawson commented one of the difficulties with this intersection in addition to sight distances was the need to watch traffic coming from different directions. She noted many people did not use this intersection because of the dangers and perhaps that was the reason it did not meet the volume warrant. She asked whether there was any way to measure vehicles that rerouted through the neighborhood to avoid this intersection. Ms. Nack advised Gray & Osborne and City staff discussed the theory that drivers avoided the intersection but had not been able to develop a way to prove it. Councilmember Dawson asked whether “almost-accidents” could be considered, pointing out the danger of turning left onto 88th Avenue West from 196th. Ms. Nack advised there was only one accident documented for a vehicle turning left; emphasizing the importance of drivers reporting accidents. She was not aware of using near-miss incidents to meet a warrant. Councilmember Dawson asked if staff knew of a way to document the amount of traffic that rerouted through the neighborhood to avoid the intersection. Mr. Gebert advised staff was beginning the update to the Transportation Comprehensive Plan. During the last update, traffic counts and turning movements were considered for strategic intersections. It may be possible to take traffic counts in that vicinity to evaluate the amount of rerouting that is occurring. Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. Chris Kelly, Edmonds, thanked the Council for studying the intersection but was surprised the study focused only on vehicular traffic and not on pedestrian traffic. He pointed out the difficulty students have crossing the street to reach the park and to reach the Community Transit bus stop to Edmonds-Woodway High School and the park. He noted the nearest marked crosswalk was ½ mile in either direction. He requested the city consider striping and signing a crosswalk in addition to perhaps a stop sign. He questioned the consultant’s indication that the speed limit at the intersection was 35 mph, pointing out it was signed 35 mph westbound beyond the intersection and 35 mph eastbound beyond the intersection, therefore, the uphill speed limit was 30 mph. He questioned whether traffic traveling 39 mph in a 30 mph zone would affect the study and/or warrants. Rick Behern, Edmonds, described the alternate route many neighborhood residents use to cross 196th. He expressed concern that vehicles traveling north on 88th that were unable to turn left would use Maplewood Lane instead to turn left onto 196th. Next he described the situation that occurs with vehicles southbound on 88th Avenue West who enter the intersection and become trapped in the center of the intersection by oncoming traffic. Joel Valley, Edmonds, commented on new development that has occurred north of 196th. He expressed concern with the crosswalk across 88th Avenue West on the north side, noting he drives his daughter to/from school because of the dangers of using that crosswalk. He noted the speed of vehicles traveling westbound on 196th and vegetation obstruct the sight distance of the crosswalk. Another problem was only about half the drivers stopped at the stop sign at 88th and 196th. Another issue was how to signal when traveling westbound on 196th to indicate an intent to continue straight on 196th. John Pierre, Edmonds, commented in the study, Alternative G showed a no left turn sign for vehicles traveling southbound on the north leg of 88th. Packet Page 179 of 208 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 4, 2007 - 10 - Exhibit 2 Mayor Haakenson explained that was not the recommendation by staff or the Community Services/Development Services Committee; the only change recommended was the right turn only northbound on 88th. Mr. Pierre commented there had been six accidents at that intersection in 2007, one more would allow the intersection to meet the warrants. He pointed out this was the most dangerous intersection in the City; the major hazard was to northbound traffic approaching 196th from the south leg of 88th. The right turn onto 196th is hazardous due to the blind spot looking down Puget Drive. Few drivers attempt to cross to the north leg of 88th or turn left to go down “snake hill” into Edmonds due to danger. Another danger is traffic westbound on 196th attempting to turn left onto 88th due to the dark, tree covered chasm down Puget Drive which can be further complicated by afternoon sun in a driver’s eyes. He summarized the recommended alternative would accomplish little if anything because most of the traffic northbound on the south leg of 88th already turned right onto 196th. He commented there was little interruption in flow of traffic of the northbound traffic at the 196th Street SW/80th Avenue West intersection because the approaching traffic from 80th activated the signal. He noted the 196th Street SW/88th Avenue West intersection had similar traffic patterns with the major difference that the intersection at 196th Street SW/80th Avenue West had no sight distance issues. Karen Lingman, Edmonds, supported Alternative G as the best solution to the problem. She disagreed that drivers did not cross 88th Avenue West or that drivers did not turn left onto 196th, commenting she witnessed those traffic movements daily. She also disagreed that traffic rerouted through the neighborhood to enter 196th. She was opposed to a signal at the intersection. Robert Schwartz, Edmonds, commented on vehicles speeding across 196th on 88th to avoid oncoming cars. He explained he often turned right at the 196th Street SW/88th Avenue West and turned around in the church parking lot to travel westbound on Puget Drive. When walking, his family walks east on 196th to a point where the sight distance is sufficient to cross safely. Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, commented on the conflicts that vehicles westbound on 196th turning left onto 88th experience with oncoming traffic on Puget Drive and traffic on the south leg of 88th. He suggested creating a pocket for those slowing vehicles, envisioning there was sufficient right-of-way for that improvement. He referred to the cost of realigning the intersection, suggesting incremental improvements be made such as increasing the turning radius for drivers turning right off 88th onto 196th or improving the sight distance down Puget Drive for drivers turning left from 88th onto 196th. He did not support a signal at this intersection due to the difficulty for vehicles eastbound on Puget Drive to start uphill as well as the noise it would create. He recalled the light at 196th Street SW/80th Avenue West was installed while he was on the Council. Due to concerns with interrupting the flow of traffic on 196th, the right turn pocket was widened so that right turns did not activate at the light. Al Rutledge, Edmonds, commented the solution was either widening 196th to two lanes in each direction or making 196th a one-way street. He referred to residents’ desire for a signal at SR 104 and 1st NE, advising it required a sixth accident for that intersection to meet the warrants for a signal. Rick Colgan, Edmonds, pointed out his concern was pedestrians attempting to cross this intersection and the virtual impossibility to cross from the north side of 196th to the south side to reach the park. He and his friends referred to this intersection as “the intersection of death.” He suggested the design include a north-south pedestrian access or an island that pedestrians could seek refuge on. He concluded whatever design was selected, it needed to improve access for pedestrians. Packet Page 180 of 208 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 4, 2007 - 11 - Exhibit 2 D.J. Wilson, Edmonds, encouraged Council to continue to monitor the intersection if they adopted the recommendation. He agreed with Mr. Hertrich’s suggestion for incremental improvements such as a 3-5 year phased approach to realignment. He suggested if this intersection was deemed by Council to be an emergency, removing the competitive bidding requirements would be appropriate. Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Haakenson closed the public comment portion of the public hearing. Ms. Nack acknowledged stated the bottom line was the intersection did not meet the warrants for a signal at this time. With regard to pedestrian volumes to warrant a signal, she advised the warrant required 100 pedestrians an hour. With regard to taking a right turn when westbound on 196th, she acknowledged that was a difficult turn. Consideration was given to a triangular island to define that turn and to provide refuge for pedestrians crossing 196th. She advised this was not discussed in detail with WSDOT. With regard to the concern with the amount of traffic that would be rerouted via Alternative G, she advised approximately 30% of vehicles northbound on 88th turn left west or go straight; 70% turn right. Mayor Haakenson commented on citizens’ frustration when they call requesting a crosswalk or stop sign in their neighborhood and are told that there are rules (warrants) that must be followed. He asked the outcome if the City installed a crosswalk regardless of the warrants. Ms. Nack recommended the City contact their liability insurance company. She noted cities had installed crosswalks in locations that were not warranted that were later removed. She referred to cities in Pierce County that installed flashing crosswalks and later removed them due to accidents occurring in those crosswalks because of the false sense of security they provided to pedestrians. She remarked traffic engineering was not an exact science but was based on experience. Before the City installed signals, crosswalks or stop signs that did not meet the warrants, she recommended the City talk with WCIA regarding the risks. Mr. Snyder explained the City would become the virtual insurer for any accident that occurred regardless of who was liable or why the accident occurred. Mayor Haakenson asked who created the warrants and who required cities follow the warrants. Ms. Nack advised it was a national standard established by the Institute of Transportation Engineers adopted nationwide as well as in the RCWs. Mr. Snyder commented installing traffic controls that were not warranted was one of the surest ways to lose the City’s insurance pool membership. Councilmember Plunkett asked if the City would be liable if the State installed the signal. Mr. Snyder answered no, commenting because this was a State route, the State’s permission was required. Councilmember Dawson referred to a comment by the public that there had been six accidents in 2007. Ms. Nack answered she had no knowledge of the number of accidents in 2007. She advised there were six accidents in 2006 but only four could be attributed to sight distance. Councilmember Dawson asked whether six or more accidents in 2007 would change the discussion with WSDOT. Ms. Nack responded the accident reports would need to be reviewed to determine the cause of the accidents and if they were attributable to sight distance, it could change the discussion with WSDOT. She recalled as of June/July 2007 there had been only one accident at the intersection. Councilmember Dawson recommended staff report to the Council on the number of accidents at this intersection in 2007 and 2008 for further consideration of whether it met the warrants. With regard to a crosswalk, Mr. Hauss explained in addition to the warrants, another consideration for a crosswalk was a minimum sight distance. Because this is not a 4-legged intersection with good visibility and due to the curvature of the roads, the 35 mph speed required a minimum sight distance of Packet Page 181 of 208 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 4, 2007 - 12 - Exhibit 2 approximately 300 feet and there was only 280 feet of sight distance at the intersection. He explained the reason staff and the consultant did not recommend limiting movements on the north side was the ratio between volume and accidents found it was 4-5 times more dangerous to make a left turn from the south leg than the north leg of 88th. Councilmember Dawson inquired about the City’s liability if the Council did not adopt the recommendation to limit left turns and straight travel on the south leg of 88th. Mr. Snyder answered the question would be whether the warrants were sufficient to continue that turning motion. Mr. Gebert noted although the objective was to identify an alternative that improved the safety of the intersection, staff’s second choice was no action. Because the objective of the study was to improve safety, staff and the consultant’s recommendation was Alternative G. He noted the accident rates were not high, possibly because drivers used different routes. Councilmember Dawson asked for further information regarding routes that drivers would use if unable to turn left from 88th on 196th or go straight through. She questioned whether residents of neighborhoods where drivers may be rerouted had been notified of the public hearing so that they could comment on the additional traffic their neighborhood may experienced. Ms. Nack commented routes drivers would take would vary depending on driver behavior. Councilmember Dawson inquired about the notice provided. City Clerk Sandy Chase answered the mailing was to property owners within 300 feet of the location. Councilmember Dawson asked whether the intersection of the other outlet, Maplewood Lane, was included in that mailing. Mr. Gebert answered probably not. Councilmember Dawson observed a significant number of vehicles would be using Maplewood Lane. Councilmember Orvis commented 88th Avenue West was a collector; therefore, its role was to funnel traffic in and out of the neighborhood. He referred to the consultant’s finding of unknown with regard to Warrant 7, Systems. The definition of Warrant 7 is this warrant justifies the installation of a traffic signal to encourage concentration and organization of traffic flow on a roadway network. He asked whether Warrant 7 would apply if large numbers of people were not using the collector due to concerns with the intersection’s safety. Ms. Nack answered when they met with WSDOT, she pushed for this warrant and WSDOT was not interested. She commented this warrant could continue to be pursued; consideration would also need to be given to five year projected traffic volumes. Before pursuing that warrant further, she recommended the City discuss with WSDOT their willingness to explore that warrant. COUNCILMEMBER MARIN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT OLSON, TO ADOPT OPTION G. Councilmember Marin commented the five streets created dimensional challenges at this intersection and he acknowledged there were no easy answers. He noted this intersection was different than 80th, where he lives. He relayed his experience with a traffic light malfunction at the intersection of 196th and 80th during yesterday’s storm, noting this was the situation before the traffic signal was installed and he anticipated having to “make a mad dash” across the street. He commented vehicles were not traveling 30 mph in either direction on 196th. He noted the recommended improvement at the intersection required a relatively small expenditure and would allow the improvement to be done quickly. He agreed it was challenging for pedestrians crossing 196th and asked staff to consider signage discouraging pedestrians from crossing the intersection and directing them to another crossing. He supported Alternative G because he wanted some improvement to be made to the intersection. Council President Olson commented the primary reason for the study was to identify an alternative to make the intersection safer and staff, the consultant and WSDOT agreed the recommended alternative Packet Page 182 of 208 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 4, 2007 - 13 - Exhibit 2 would accomplish that goal. She noted the City would continue to monitor the intersection and if the intersection met the warrants in the future, a traffic signal could be pursued. She did not support doing nothing in the meantime. Councilmember Orvis expressed concern with creating a dangerous situation elsewhere by pushing the problem onto other streets in the neighborhood such as Maplewood Lane. Because 88th was a collector, the City’s plans called for 88th to direct traffic to that intersection, therefore, the City should be encouraging its use. He acknowledged there were major safety issues at the intersection, but the safety solution was a traffic signal. He acknowledged the intersection did not meet the warrants and he did not want to meet Warrant 6, Accident Experience (at least 5 accidents/year). He preferred to convince WSDOT and the State legislature that the intersection met Warrant 7 as a traffic signal would be the safest solution. Councilmember Dawson was also concerned with pushing the problem elsewhere. She anticipated drivers would turn left or right from the intersection of 196th Street SW & 84th Avenue West which was also not a very safe intersection, rather than traveling to the signal at 80th Avenue West. She requested further information about the intersection of 196th Street SW & 84th Avenue West to determine whether that would be a safe situation. She agreed the City should continue to monitor the intersection, agreeing without a signal the intersection was not safe for pedestrians. She was uncertain whether Alternative G would improve the safety of the intersection. She agreed with Councilmember Orvis’ comment about 88th Avenue being a collector. Councilmember Wambolt acknowledged some citizens did not find value in Alternative G. This may be a situation where the Council needed to tell staff and the consultant they wanted a traffic light and have them figure out how to achieve it. Mayor Haakenson pointed out the consultant and staff tried that. He referred to Councilmember Orvis’ comment that the City should talk to the State legislature and challenged Councilmembers to work with the legislature. Councilmember Wambolt accepted Mayor Haakenson’s challenge, commenting the difficulty for pedestrians had been downplayed. He concluded the only solution was a traffic signal and the City needed to find a way to get one. Mayor Haakenson pointed out a similar situation on SR 104 at 238th where residents have begged the State for a traffic signal. He noted drivers had been killed at that intersection and WSDOT still refused to install a signal. UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION FAILED (2-4), COUNCIL PRESIDENT OLSON AND COUNCILMEMBER MARIN IN FAVOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS ORVIS, DAWSON, WAMBOLT, AND PLUNKETT OPPOSED. (Councilmember Moore was not present for the vote.) Councilmember Orvis suggested a resolution to the legislature. Councilmember Plunkett commented any solution other than a traffic signal was only a bandaid and would simply push the problem to another street. He thanked the consultant for the excellent study and presentation and staff for their work. He was hopeful, perhaps via legislative action or additional evaluation, that a signal could be installed. Mayor Haakenson suggested Councilmember Orvis and Plunkett work on a resolution for Council consideration at the next Council meeting. Packet Page 183 of 208 Packet Page 184 of 208 AM-1531 6.

Climate Protection Committee Update Edmonds City Council Meeting Date:04/22/2008 Submitted By:Linda Carl Submitted For:Gary Haakenson Time:10 Minutes Department:Mayor's Office Type:Information Review Committee: Action: Information Subject Title Mayor's update on Climate Protection Committee. Recommendation from Mayor and Staff Previous Council Action Narrative In the summer of 2006, Mayor Haakenson formed the Citizens Committee on U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement (commonly referred to as the Climate Protection Committee). Currently, five citizens and eight staff form the committee, with many other members of the public attending the monthly meetings. The next meeting is scheduled for May 8 at 9 a.m. in the Brackett Room of City Hall. Tonight, the Mayor will provide an update on committee actions from November 2007 through March 2008.

The committee consists of five citizens and eight staff. Citizen interest and awareness has increased, and attendance is rising steadily at each meeting, often with 25 or more people in attendance. Representatives from Sustainable Edmonds and GreenforGood are common attendees. Agenda topics have included: • Fuel economy tips • Environment Day in Olympia • Energy Star partnership • Possible environment open house • City’s GHG findings • Discussion regarding Governor’s comprehensive climate approach report. Guest speakers have included: • Edmonds School District superintendent Nick Brossoit, as well as ESD director of transportation, director of facilities & operations, and director of capital projects • Rick Jenness with a presentation on “Harnessing the Earth’s unlimited free energy – geothermal heat pump technology.” Committee projects: GHG reduction program for business owners A subcommittee (consisting of Steve Bernheim, Hank Landau, and Wes Gallaugher) continues to work on a GHG reduction program geared toward local businesses and is working directly with eight downtown business owners. Their goal is to increase awareness, help the business owner perform an energy audit, and offer suggestions to reduce energy consumption. Ultimately, the subcommittee will expand the program to include other retail centers in town, such as Westgate and Five Corners, as well as other types of businesses. GHG data collection Staff member Steve Fisher (recycling coordinator) collected and analyzed the City’s GHG output in order to: • Identify the greatest sources of GHG emissions • Understand emission trends • Quantify the benefits of specific City activities • Provide a basis for developing an action plan • Track progress at reducing emissions • Set goals and targets for future reductions. Steve used ICLEI’s (International Council for Local Environmental Issues) “government analysis” program to analyze data for the years 1999 (base year) and 2006 for the following sectors: buildings, water/sewer, streetlights, vehicle fleet, employee commute, waste, and “other.” Results can be found under “Climate Protection Committee” on the City’s website. Steve’s goal is to collect and analyze communitywide data for the same years. Packet Page 207 of 208 “Green” building codes Staff members Rob Chave (planning manager) and Jen Machuga (planner) are working on a low-impact development program for the City that will address “green” building codes and sustainable-building practices. The goal is to incorporate green building practices (such as site development, tree retention, stormwater issues, etc.) into the City’s development code. A good example is PCC’s move into the old Albertson’s site. PCC’s goal is to be a LEED-certified building (platinum status—the highest level), and in order to accomplish this, they proposed an amendment to the City’s code related to rainwater collection tanks in the street setback. The City Council will consider a proposed interim ordinance and resolution regarding the amendment at the March 25 Council meeting. Energy Star certification Staff member Jim Stevens (facilities manager) led the effort in signing the City as a partner in the Energy Star program. This provides us with the ability to track energy consumption in City buildings and to work toward the Energy Star “stamp,” meaning a building is rated in the top 25% of energy efficiency (on a scale of zero to 100%). Currently, City Hall is at 73%. Electric plug-in City staff installed an electrical outlet at the Public Safety Complex in order to allow owners of electrical cars to recharge their vehicles. This service is currently offered at no cost to the car owner. Miscellaneous: In conjunction with the Puget Sound Bird Fest in September, we are currently planning an environmental fair to increase awareness and provide a fun way for families to learn more about sustainability. Liz Stachow, Edmonds Beacon reporter, is a regular attendee at the meetings and plans to include committee information in her weekly column. The committee also utilizes the quarterly City newsletter, “Update on Edmonds,” to communicate information to citizens. The Mayor declared Saturday, March 29 from 8 to 9 p.m. as “Earth Hour” and encouraged citizens to turn off their lights for one hour to conserve energy. Under Climate Protection on the City’s website (www.ci.edmonds.wa.us) is background information on the committee, as well as upcoming meeting dates and meeting notes. Packet Page 208 of 208
