ITEM I: RESOLUTION NO. 1182 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, OPPOSING ESTABLISHMENT OF A LOCAL BUSINESS AND
OCCUPATION TAX ON RETAIL BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.
Councilmember Wambolt explained he pulled this item to increase public awareness of the Council’s
action. The bottom line of the resolution was the Council affirmed its opposition to and will not establish
a Business & Occupations Tax on retail business and professional business as part of the 2009 and 2010
budget process. He clarified the resolution did not apply to taxes imposed on utilities.
COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PRO TEM
DAWSON, FOR APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA ITEM I.
Councilmember Bernheim commented he was not in favor of raising crippling taxes on businesses but
favored a fair spreading of the tax burden during tough times. He reiterated he had not proposed a B&O
tax; he only asked questions about the tax. He explained taxes on businesses were a potentially legitimate
source of revenue when/if businesses were paying less than their fair share of City services. He noted
much of the argument against a B&O tax were against any tax for businesses. His point in raising the
issue of a B&O tax was one of fairness; the Council was considering raising taxes on utility users and
property owners, and emergency service recipients. He reiterated there was nothing unfair about a B&O
tax at a rate low enough for businesses to accept. If the City needed to raise $500,000, he envisioned
$100,000 could be raised via a B&O tax at a rate of 5 cents per $100 or $1000 of gross sales.
Council President Pro Tem Dawson reported she worked with Community Services/Economic
Development Director Stephen Clifton on drafting the resolution because she was personally opposed to a
B&O tax at this time or any time in the foreseeable future. She pointed out most of the adjacent cities did
not have a B&O tax, one of the main factors in a business deciding where to locate. She was concerned a
B&O tax, a tax on gross receipts, would make existing businesses less competitive, frustrate job creation
and may dissuade new businesses from locating in Edmonds. She summarized a B&O tax was not the
right tax for Edmonds and urged the Council to approve the resolution.
Councilmember Wambolt relayed he was opposed to a B&O tax and did not believe many business
people in the City felt they were not paying their fair share as they also paid property taxes, utility taxes,
etc. He concluded a B&O tax may actually be unfair to businesses.
MOTION CARRIED (6-0-1), COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM ABSTAINED.

3. PUBLIC HEARING ON A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO EDMONDS COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 18.05, UTILITY WIRES, REGARDING REPLACEMENT
OF POWER POLES INCLUDING REQUIRING REPLACEMENT POLES IN RESIDENTIAL
ZONES TO BE WOOD.
Development Services Director Duane Bowman advised the proposed amendment was reviewed by the
Community Services/Development Services Committee at their October 14 meeting. This action
stemmed from the replacement of a pole in the Seaview area where a large metal pole was constructed in
the 8300 of 188th Street SW and a microcell wireless antenna facility placed atop the pole. The
surrounding residents were not provided notice and were very concerned about the large, steel, industrial-
looking pole. The pole has since been painted but that has not resolved the issue.
Although nothing can be done about that specific pole, staff wanted to address the issue those residents
encountered and develop a solution that would address the issue in the future. He relayed staff’s proposal
that all replacement poles in single family zones be wood. Snohomish County PUD raised some concerns
about requiring wood for a replacement pole; however, the City has a great deal of authority with regard
to specifying materials to be used. The ordinance also specifies that conduit placed on the pole to serve
the wireless facility must be painted to match the pole.
The ordinance requires notice be provided to residents whenever a wireless facility is added to a pole.
The result would not necessarily be that the pole would not be constructed but an informational meeting
would be held to inform residents and provide an opportunity for comment. He noted the primary issue
for most residents was the pole’s material. Another issue addressed in Section 18.05.060 was the addition
of language that required coordination of facility replacement within a reasonable time period. He
recalled a situation where a pole was cut off and a section of pole left hanging until the service provider
moved their facility. He advised these were amendments to Chapter 18 and did not require referral to the
Planning Board.
On behalf of Councilmember Olson and he who serve on the Community Services/Development Services
Committee, Councilmember Wilson extended his appreciation to Mr. Bowman and Mayor Haakenson for
their response to this issue including standing firm with PUD with regard to the pole material.
City Attorney Scott Snyder relayed that the 9th Federal Circuit Court joined the 4th Circuit in overturning a
City of Auburn decision that interpreted municipal ordinances that placed any barrier whatsoever on
wireless facilities entering into a marketplace as prohibitive. The 9th Circuit decided a case, Sprint v. City
of San Diego, and adopted the 4th Circuit’s view as long as the city’s exercise of its police power
regulations did not prohibit entry of a cell phone operator but merely made it more expensive within a
range of reasonableness, basically authorizing this type of change. He noted it would have been unwise
to make this change three months ago; now the City’s authority was ratified by the 9th Circuit.
Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. He advised the
Council received a letter from Barbara Tipton.
Jim Wilkinson, Edmonds, supported doing everything possible to protect neighborhoods. He
encouraged the Council to include restrictions on size in the ordinance. He also expressed concern with
the loops of cable and low-hanging cables that Verizon left throughout the City.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, commented the City had done a good job developing an ordinance.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, expressed his preference that all wires be undergrounded, recognizing that
was not possible due to the expense. He suggested the City have some ability to issue a Conditional Use
Packet Page 6 of 275
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 3, 2008
Page 4
Permit for anything other that the existing situation and establish minimum standards for height, number
of wires on a pole, etc.
Hearing no further comment, Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett closed the public participation portion of the
public hearing.
Mr. Snyder responded Section 1 of the ordinance requires the use of wooden poles of a height and type
generally in use in surrounding residential neighborhoods. He noted the State Electrical Code established
requirements with regard to separation of wires on poles; the ordinance requires the use of a wooden pole
unless a provision of the State Electrical Code required otherwise. Staff’s concern with poles left hanging
was addressed with the provision added to the ordinance requiring relocation of lines be accomplished
within 30 days which places the burden on the pole owner to notify other parties on the pole.
Councilmember Wambolt asked whether the ordinance addressed the coils of wire mentioned by Mr.
Wilkinson. Mr. Snyder recalled once staff was certain it could be regulated under the City’s police
powers, the Mayor and staff spent a great deal of time attempting to get Verizon to resolve that issue. The
reason for a civil infraction approach was that one entity owned the pole and has pole attachment
agreement with other entities who subcontract to other third party contractors to do the relocation.
Councilmember Wambolt noted the coils of wire were not only located at poles. Mr. Snyder
acknowledged there were swags of additional wire left suspended from the pole pending other action.
Councilmember Bernheim agreed with the concern expressed about the coils of wire left hanging
throughout the City at the convenience of the installer. He asked whether the proposed ordinance
regulated that. Mr. Snyder answered the ordinance would be applicable if the wires were part of a
relocation of a line or facility. He offered to look into regulating the coils of wire.
Councilmember Wilson pointed out the proposed ordinance was intended to address one issue. The issue
regarding the coils of wire was important but was beyond the scope of this ordinance.
COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO
APPROVE ORDINANCE NO. 3701. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The ordinance
approved is as follows:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, AMENDING THE
PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 18.05 UTILITY WIRES IN ORDER TO ADD A NEW SECTION
18.05.030(B)(4) AND (5) PROHIBITING THE USE OF METAL POLES OR TOWERS IN
RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND PROVIDING FOR INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS
AND ADDING A NEW SECTION 18.05.060 REQUIRING THE COORDINATION OF FACILITY
REPLACEMENT WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME, AND FIXING A TIME WHEN
THE SAME SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE
4. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Darlene Stern, Edmonds, recalled during the budget portion of the October 28 meeting, Councilmember
Bernheim stated the Council should reduce the Police Department budget and inform the police it was
okay not to arrest so many people because it cost the City too much money. She referred to the Edmonds
Police Department 2007 Service Efforts and Accomplishments Report, pointing out that unchallenged
misdemeanor crimes were like the abandoned building/broken windows theory for which there have been
a significant number of masters theses written; small things neglected were ripe for more carnage.
Misdemeanor crimes negatively impact the quality of life, personal safety and sense of well being of
residents. Unchallenged criminals grow from misdemeanants to felons which would also negatively
impact the community. Councilmember Bernheim’s statement was effectively stating that anyone
Packet Page 7 of 275
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 3, 2008
Page 5
committing misdemeanors such as battery, assault, fight, shoplifting, petty theft, drunk driving,
vandalism, vehicle prowling or some sex offenses would go free and unpunished in an effort to balance
the budget. She summarized the Edmonds Police Department had worked diligently to become a
professional organization. She objected to suggestions that citizens should pay more in taxes and have
less security and safety in order to balance the budget when in fact revenues could have been gradually
increased over the past few years to accomplish a balanced budget. She concluded when the economy
was down, crime increased and she disagreed with reducing the Police Department budget when their
protection was most needed. She requested the Council not reduce the Police Department budget, thereby
diminishing citizens’ safety and security.
Peggy Gerdes, Edmonds, a former Lake Forest Park Councilmember and Edmonds resident for the past
18 months, described a burglary that occurred in their home last month while they were asleep. She
recommended the Council make the public safety budget the highest priority and maintain the existing
Police Department budget. She recommended increasing the ratio of Police Officers per resident to 1:75,
recalling public safety was a priority for Lake Forest Park citizens.
Diane Azar, Edmonds, expressed support for the proposed interim zoning ordinance making it illegal for
property owners to rent homes in a single family neighborhood for less than 30 days at a time. She
commented the daily rental of homes in a single family zone was inappropriate and negatively impacted
the community by increased traffic from repetitive parties. She was surprised the code did not already
address this issue.
George Everett, Edmonds, reviewed information he previously provided to Council including that there
was no evidence to support the official conspiracy theory of 9/11 that Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda and 19
Arabs carried out the attacks. He asserted the government lied, saying the towers came down due to
airplanes and jet fuel fires, yet Building 7 was not hit by an airplane and had no significant fire or other
damage and all three buildings disintegrated at free fall speed, typical of a controlled demolition. The
government said the air in lower Manhattan was safe to breath and as a result 3,000 first responders have
already died and thousands are expected to develop severe respiratory problems. He stated the truth was
available via a program on channel 77 Thursdays at 11 a.m. and on the website patriotsquestion911.com,
urging citizens to sign a petition at AE911truth.org or firefightersfor911truth.org. He urged the Council
to adopt a resolution calling for an investigation into the events of 9/11.
Christine Schultz, Edmonds, explained a large house in their neighborhood was being rented on a
nightly basis. Although she was sympathetic that the owner was unable to make his house payment, she
was unable to support renting the house in this manner. She described a recent event where participants
arrived via multiple taxis who then stayed for approximately an hour and left in several vans. She
questioned what activities were occurring during rentals and expressed concern that this practice invited
strangers into their neighborhood. She compared the rental to a hotel and was concerned daily rentals
would devalue the surrounding properties. She noted the police were called frequently with regard to
activities at this house.
Jim Wilkinson, Edmonds, explained he owned a triplex on Sunset Avenue, a grandfathered use in a
single family zone. He anticipated the problem in the Talbot Road neighborhood would be resolved via
foreclosure or the sale of the house as reported in the Enterprise. He objected to a “shotgun” approach to
addressing a situation occurring on one property. He rents two units in his triplex on a weekly basis to
monthly basis during the summer months and objected to the loss of his property rights because of a
situation occurring on one other property. He suggested enhancing the noise ordinance instead, noting the
income derived from renting the two properties was approximately $7,000/month during the summer.

Karen Fry, Edmonds, thanked the Planning Board for listening to the concerns with the utility pole in
the Seaview neighborhood and thanked the Council for approving the recommended ordinance. She
encouraged the Council to consider the number of sites on a utility pole and be proactive regarding where
microcell facilities can be located such as in a park which would generate revenue for the City.
Jeff Donchez, Edmonds, referred to the interim zoning ordinance, and although he appreciated Mr.
Wilkinson’s situation, he urged the Council to consider the horrendous situation occurring in their
neighborhood, nightly rentals to 50-100 people. He pointed out the situation has been a burden on the
Police Department and would be a burden on the Fire Department if there were a fire. He questioned
whether the City planned to police rentals of one week or less with regard to fire code, liquor licenses,
banquet licenses, etc. He expressed support for the proposed ordinance, finding it a reasonable measure
to the problem that was occurring in their neighborhood.
Al Rutledge, Edmonds, reported the Friends of the Library Book Sale generated $10,100. He thanked
everyone who attended and those who volunteered. Next he described past efforts that resulted in the
preservation of the Log Cabin and inquired about funds budgeted to maintain the cabin.
Natalie Shippen, Edmonds, referred to the ordinance establishing the Transportation Benefit District and
requested the Council, 1) rewrite the ordinance to comply with the Association of Washington City’s
(AWC) suggestions and 2) hold two meetings on the ordinance, the first for Council discussion and a
second for a public hearing on November 18. She read the AWC’s definition of a TBD, an independent
taxing district that can impose an array of taxes and fees either through a vote or Council action. She
relayed the ordinance requirements cited by AWC includes a finding that the creation was in the public
interest; defines the boundaries of the TBD; describes the transportation improvements proposed by the
TBD; and describes the proposed taxes, fees, charges, etc. the TBD will impose to raise revenue to fund
the identified improvements. She noted the ordinance before the Council did not meet the description of
the publicized ordinance. She also requested the Council discuss the following: 1) which of the array of
revenue options the Council preferred, 2) whether the Council would use revenues to fund only existing
transportation facilities or new construction also, 3) how revenue rates could be increased, 4) what would
happen if project costs exceeded original estimates, and 5) the estimated life of the TBD since the TBD
must be dissolved at the completion of projects and payment of debt service.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, suggested the City had sufficient regulations to address commercial uses in a
residential zone, noting commercial uses in a residential zone typically required a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP). He recommended the property owner renting their home on a daily basis be required to apply for
a CUP. Next, he encouraged the public to attend the November 18 public hearing on Chapter 17.60
which contains noise and lighting performance standards as well as regulates the number of vehicles and
recreation vehicles that can be stored on a property. He recommended the limitation on the number of
vehicles be related to the size of the property.
5. DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION REGARDING THE SENIOR CENTER LEASE.
Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett explained that at his request, Board President Rose Cantwell designated
Boardmembers Ben Goodwin and Patsy Ethridge-Neal to speak and take action on behalf of the Board.
Mr. Goodwin distributed a revision to the lease.
City Attorney Scott Snyder explained he drafted the lease which was reviewed by the Senior Center
Board and revisions were made at the Board’s request to the draft the Council received in their packet.
He viewed the proposed revision as cosmetic, noting in the past the Council had typically identified a
term with renewal options. The Senior Center has a grant that requires that they have a specific
Packet Page 9 of 275
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 3, 2008
Page 7
ownership interest. He provided some flexibility in the ordinance for the term of the ownership interest as
it was uncertain when the period of years would begin.
Mr. Goodwin advised the Senior Center had a $200,000 State grant to perform much needed
improvements and repairs to the Center including replacing the canopy over the front entrance, replacing
the roof covering, replacing siding and installing a new sound system. The State grant requires the Center
have the right to occupy the building for ten years. He anticipated bids would be obtained by
March/April 2009 and the work completed next summer; the ten years begins from the time the work is
completed. The initial term of the lease was ten years with two 5-year extensions with the ten years
beginning on January 1, 2009; however, the repairs will not be completed by January 1, 2009. He
proposed the lease begin on January 1, 2009 and the start date of the first ten years be adjusted based on
the needs of the grant.
Council President Pro Tem Dawson suggested an 11-year lease. Senior Center Executive Director Hallie
Olson advised the Center was required to indicate they had occupancy for ten years from the start of the
project which would be via a lease agreement and/or a Memo of Understanding. She agreed with Council
President Pro Tem Dawson’s suggestion for an 11-year lease.
Councilmember Bernheim inquired about the relationship between the lease and the services agreement.
Mr. Snyder answered the lease and services agreement were integrated. The Senior Center Board
recommended $60,000 be included in the services agreement; however, the City included that amount for
information only as it was appropriate to include any obligation to fund the Center until budget priorities
were determined.
Mr. Goodwin and Ms. Ethridge-Neal advised an 11-year lease was acceptable. Mr. Goodwin advised it
was acceptable to leave the appropriation amount blank in the services agreement at this time, noting they
would appreciate at least the amount allocated in the past but understood the City’s financial situation.
Mr. Snyder pointed out the service agreement including the appropriation was approved annually by the
Council.
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT,
TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO APPROVE THE SENIOR CENTER LEASE WITH
ADDITIONS REGARDING THE TERM OF 11 YEARS.
Councilmember Bernheim clarified the term of the lease would be changed from 10 years to 11 years and
2019 changed to 2020 and the phrase “accordingly to accommodate the CTED grant” would be deleted.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
6. PROPOSED INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE REGARDING COMMERCIAL USES IN
RESIDENTIAL ZONES RELATED TO HOUSE RENTALS.
Development Services Director Duane Bowman responded to comments raised by Mr. Hertrich, assuring
the City did not have the appropriate tools to address commercial uses in residential zones. He noted a
home occupation was a person who occupied a house and operated a business which was not the situation
in this instance. He explained this matter was reviewed by the Community Services/Development
Services Committee on October 14 and the Committee recommended the draft interim ordinance be
presented to the Council along with a timeline for a code amendment. Staff was also asked to research
whether the proposed ordinance would impact other properties. The Committee did not provide a
recommendation.
Packet Page 10 of 275
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 3, 2008
Page 8
Mr. Bowman explained a large house near Talbot Road was being rented for events such as conferences,
weddings, parties, etc. on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, generating problems with noise and traffic
that often requires police response. Staff supports a clarification of the standards for rentals in single
family zones. An Internet search identified at least four other properties used as vacation rentals for one
week and possibly less. Staff does not support daily rentals.
The interim ordinance contains a 30-day time period; a different time period could be established by the
Council. He noted the Council was required to hold a public hearing within 60 days of the passage of the
interim ordinance; staff recommends December 16 for the public hearing. Depending on the action the
Council takes at the December 16 hearing, the ordinance could be changed or terminated or the matter
would be referred to the Planning Board for review and recommendation.
City Attorney Scott Snyder advised the current zoning ordinance authorizes the renting of rooms as an
outright permitted use in residential zones. The City has never regulated the common practice of renting
houses. Therefore, staff found it inappropriate to use the criminal or civil enforcement process to restrict
the rental of a home based solely on time, thus the reason for the interim zoning ordinance. Staff
discussed 30 versus 7 days and the time period was open for Council discussion.
Council President Pro Tem Dawson commented the ordinance addressed the overall occupancy of a
single family dwelling unit and refers to provisions in ECDC 21.30.010 that define family. She noted the
objection was not to a family renting a house for a short period of time; the issue was parties at a
residence renting on a daily basis. She noted the definition of family would limit the number of
occupants. Mr. Bowman responded the code limited the occupants of a dwelling unit to 15 related people
or 5 unrelated people.
Council President Pro Tem Dawson asked whether staff researched how this issue was addressed by other
cities. Mr. Bowman answered the example he was most familiar with was the Outer Banks of North
Carolina where rentals were weekly. Council President Pro Tem Dawson asked whether local regulations
prohibited less than weekly rentals. Mr. Bowman was not certain.
Council President Pro Tem Dawson asked whether vacation rentals could be regulated similar to a bed &
breakfast. Mr. Snyder responded there were multiple ways to regulate businesses, this was the simplest.
Council President Pro Tem Dawson asked whether consideration was given to requiring someone renting
their home as a commercial enterprise to obtain a business license. Mr. Snyder responded staff felt it was
inappropriate generally to have a business enterprise in a residential neighborhood.
Council President Pro Tem Dawson stated a 7-day rental seemed to be a vacation rental and similar to a
commercial enterprise. The question then was what type of rental should be allowed without a business
license or Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in residential neighborhoods. Mr. Snyder noted the Council
could adopt a regulatory structure that required a property owner to have a permit to rent their home for a
week or less. He provided the analogy of when the State had strict limitations on adult family homes, less
than 10% of homes registered; when they adopted a more reasonable structure and amendments were
made to the Fair Housing Act, many more homes registered and were licensed and there was greater
control. He noted the Council could request the Planning Board consider home occupation, CUP or other
ways of regulating rentals of less than a month. Council President Pro Tem Dawson commented it would
be interesting to hear from the public their feeling about vacation rentals in their neighborhood. She
noted vacation rentals may be appropriate in some neighborhoods and not in others.
Mr. Bowman requested the Council identify a time period for the interim zoning ordinance. He explained
staff’s intent was to identify a solution that was simple to enforce and did not create another permitting
process.

Councilmember Wambolt pointed out the ordinance would only be enforced on a complaint basis and
questioned whether this ordinance would have prevented the current situation. He suggested the Police
Department could have used the noise ordinance to address the current situation. Mr. Bowman explained
after receiving complaints and the Police Department responded, staff realized there was no civil remedy
in the code. The Police quieted the users and the owner was informed the property could not be rented for
weddings and conferences but there was no basis in the code to prohibit daily rentals. He noted a noise
violation required three neighbors to complain and the violation must be continual. In this instance, the
Police were able to quiet the users. Mr. Snyder pointed out if someone was renting a sound system in
addition to renting the property, it was likely a commercial enterprise.
Councilmember Wambolt stated he received calls/emails from residents objecting to the 30-day limitation
and expressing a preference for 7 days. He asked if the time limit would also apply in the multi-family
zone. Mr. Bowman answered the Council could direct staff to restrict rentals in multi-family zones also.
Councilmember Wambolt expressed support for the ordinance to apply to multi-family zones as well.
Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett advised the Council received a petition with 32 signatures that states the persons
signing the petition support the proposal before the Council on November 3 that would make it illegal for
landlords to rent homes in a single family neighborhood for less than 30 days at a time and opposing the
unlicensed business of nightly rentals of residential property in a single family neighborhood.
Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett asked how the interim ordinance would affect someone like Mr. Wilkinson. Mr.
Bowman answered it would depend on the timeframe the Council selected. Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett
asked whether a provision for a CUP could be added to the ordinance. Mr. Bowman suggested the
Council have the Planning Board vet that issue and make a recommendation. The interim ordinance
would provide tools to address the immediate situation.
Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett asked whether Mr. Wilkinson would be required to discontinue weekly vacation
rentals if the Council adopted the proposed interim ordinance. Mr. Snyder answered when Mr.
Wilkinson’s current rental agreements expired he would be subject to the new ordinance. He pointed out
a CUP would need to be restricted based on applying conditions to minimize impacts. As Council
President Pro Tem Dawson suggested, he noted the Planning Board could also consider allowing shorter
rentals for certain neighborhoods.
In spite of his sympathy for the neighbors and his support for reasonable restrictions, Councilmember
Bernheim objected to imposing restrictions immediately without adequate thought and analysis. He
questioned if the Council was required to adopt a finding for an interim ordinance that it was necessary to
adopt it immediately. Mr. Snyder responded a moratorium required a finding of an emergency in order to
be effective within a specified period. A moratorium suspended a lawful use pending a process;
determining if a use was appropriate for a neighborhood was an exercise of the City’s police power.
Councilmember Bernheim asked whether local taxes were collected from vacation rentals. Mr. Snyder
answered there was a State leasehold excise tax but no local taxes.
Councilmember Wilson expressed concern with the possibility of unintended consequences. He noted the
symptoms the neighbors were encountering were noise and traffic and if only the symptoms were
addressed, the cause would not be addressed. The proposed interim ordinance would address the cause
but envisioned it could also have unintended consequences. He asked what other options the Council
could consider that would protect single family residential areas but avoid severe financial impacts to
property owners. Mr. Snyder answered other options included a licensing process or a CUP process. He
Packet Page 12 of 275
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 3, 2008
Page 10
noted a licensing process was easier and less expensive; a CUP process was more time consuming and
expensive, approximately $500-$1000.
Councilmember Wilson suggested a process where a substantial penalty could be imposed on the property
owner if there were three calls in a month. Mr. Snyder answered that would be similar to a barking dog
complaint which required three neighbors to complain. He anticipated there would be problems with
proof. Councilmember Wilson questioned why there would be problems proving a noise violation or
proving public drunkenness. Mr. Snyder answered noise provisions were based on decibels. He noted in
most residential situations, the police first warned the people violating the noise ordinance.
Councilmember Wilson asked whether the City would be open to a takings claim if the use of property
was limited by this legislation. Mr. Snyder answered the Council was regulating the impact of the
activity on the neighborhood and not the use of the property. He noted regulatory takings were difficult
to prove when the City was exercising its police powers based on impacts to a neighborhood.
Councilmember Wilson asked what his response should be to someone like Mr. Wilkinson or others who
discover they are no longer able to rent their property for less than 30 days. Mr. Bowman stated if the
City received a complaint from a neighbor, the property owner would be contacted. He acknowledged
there may be more than four properties being used as vacation rentals. As previously suggested, there
may be areas such as the bowl where a shorter term rental would be more acceptable.
Councilmember Wambolt expressed concern with establishing rental period zones. He reiterated
whatever limitations were enacted, they would not be enforced. Mr. Bowman assured it would be
enforced if staff received a complaint. Councilmember Wambolt commented few property owners would
be aware of the limitations until there was a violation.
Councilmember Wilson inquired about the process for a typical code amendment. Mr. Bowman
answered it would take 4-6 months, possibly longer in view of other issues the Planning Board was
considering.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON, TO
ADOPT INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 3702.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PRO TEM DAWSON MOVED, SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM
PLUNKETT, TO AMEND THE MOTION THAT THE TERM OF RENTAL BE NOT LESS THAN
SEVEN DAYS.
AMENDMENT CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Wilson acknowledged the property owner in question was irresponsible but was
concerned that the Council’s action could negatively impact other property owners such as Mr.
Wilkinson. While doorbelling last year he encountered a person on 3rd Avenue who complained about a
home rented for short periods. His search at that time found 20 homes that were being used as vacation
rentals. Because there was the potential to have such significant financial impacts on some residents, he
felt it was appropriate for this amendment to follow the typical, normal planning process.
Councilmember Bernheim agreed with Councilmember Wilson’s suggestion, advising the normal
planning process would allow residents throughout the City to be informed and ensure all stakeholders
were considered. He favored a license with a restriction approach in order to regulate conduct. He
doubted a 7 or 30 day restriction would be effective, envisioning the property owner could develop some
mechanism to circumvent that requirement.

Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett confirmed the motion included establishing a public hearing on December 16.
He expressed interest in the Planning Board considering a CUP process and considering different zones.
Council President Pro Tem Dawson was surprised a license was not required for daily rentals which was
similar to a hotel, a use that was not allowed in residential neighborhoods. She was uncertain whether
vacation rentals of less than 30 days in all zones were appropriate. She supported enacting the interim
zoning ordinance as it was appropriate to prevent daily or weekend rentals in a residential neighborhood
because it was not compatible with single family zones. She noted the Planning Board may want to
consider expanding the limitation to multi-family zones.
MOTION CARRIED (5-2), COUNCILMEMBERS WILSON AND BERNHEIM OPPOSED.
Councilmember Wilson restated that a public hearing on the interim ordinance was scheduled for
December 16.
7. ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY
City Attorney Scott Snyder commented his report this year would be to describe things he worried about,
noting in times of lean budgets, his role was to react to matters brought to him. As an attorney who
represents a number of cities in Puget Sound and a Boardmember of the Washington Association of
Municipal Attorneys he was involved in a number of issues and court rulings that he wanted to discuss
with the Council, most were for the Council’s long term consideration.
He explained the Public Records Act was clearly an important tool; government in Washington was
required to be transparent to its citizens. In most cases that works very well; citizens are reasonable in
their requests and City Clerk Sandy Chase and her staff have developed procedures for providing paper
records.
(Council President Pro Tem Dawson left the meeting at 9:00 p.m.)
Mr. Snyder referred to City of Shoreline litigation regarding Councilmembers’ email, particularly
metadata. He wanted to ensure in these days of smartphones, text messaging and private email accounts
that the City had a good handle on electronic communications. These were clearly records according to
the Washington Public Records Act and the City would be required to produce them. He noted the
Shoreline situation was instructive because they were able to produce a forwarded copy of the requested
email but not the original email and the attached metadata ruled to be a public record. First, in response
to that case, he provided recommendations to Human Resources Director Debi Humann to upgrade the
City’s email policies to include text messaging as well as smartphone usage.
Second, Mr. Snyder urged all Councilmembers to communicate electronically only via their City email
account, not their private or business email account to avoid the risk of having their hard drive searched
by court order. Third, he cited the City of Spokane Valley that invested in putting all its city records and
emails on the Internet and created an indexing system to facilitate citizen searches. He noted the price of
that action may put it out of reach for Edmonds. He summarized the long term solution to most public
record concerns was making the records assessable to citizens without staff involvement other than
determining what records were exempt from disclosure.
He referred to a Public Records Act case against the City of Mesa who was fined $240,000 ($800 per
citizen for a city with 1½ full-time staff members). A Mesa citizen filed nearly daily public records
requests that prevented city staff from doing any work other than responding to the public records
requests. Mr. Snyder emphasized a citizen’s motive for requests, whether it was harassing, intimidating
Packet Page 14 of 275
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 3, 2008
Page 12
or burdensome had nothing to do with a city’s obligation to respond. When the requests overwhelmed the
city, Mesa informed the citizen they would no longer respond to his requests rather than providing a
reasonable estimate regarding the amount of time to respond. He suggested the City determine how much
time was available for fulfilling public records requests and develop policies regarding how the City
would prioritize requests for public records and still get other work done.
Mr. Snyder recalled three years ago he recommended updating the Community Development Code, yet
only two chapters had been addressed, chapters that staff had identified as the least controversial. The
most important chapter that needed to be updated was the procedures chapter which needed to be
streamlined, made user friendly via the use of charts and less dissentient. Further there were several areas
of the code that were out of compliance with State law. He recommended the City’s permit revocation
procedures be updated while Mr. Bowman was still on staff and suggested using a stakeholder process of
citizens, organizations, builders and developers to review the procedures section. He noted there were
other issues more appropriately addressed in Executive Session.
He referred to the Attorney General’s recent opinion on local regulation of guns. The City of Seattle by
Executive Order of Mayor Nickels imposed restrictions on carrying guns on public property, partially in
response to a shooting at the Seattle Center. A State Representative requested an Attorney General
opinion which in referencing a control statute adopted by the Legislature opines that all municipal
regulation of guns is prohibited/preempted by State statute. He disagreed with the Attorney General’s
opinion, noting it equates acting by ordinance in a criminal capacity and fails to consider that
constitutionally every private property owner has the right to determine if someone can bring a gun onto
their property. The Attorney General’s opinion takes away cities’ rights to regulate the use of its
property. He suggested the City following that issue, anticipating it would be litigated in the future and
that he would be preparing a brief on the subject on behalf of the Washington State Municipal Attorney’s
Association.
Mr. Snyder noted when he began as a municipal attorney 30 years ago, 30% of local government
agencies’ budgets were provided by the federal government via block grant funds and funds for roads and
infrastructure. Regardless of the outcome of tomorrow’s election, both political parties have indicated a
desire for economic stimulus packages and providing some of the stimulus funds to local government to
build needed infrastructure. He encouraged the City to endorse that effort as stimulating jobs at a local
level and providing needed public infrastructure was an appropriate use of tax dollars.
Councilmember Wilson asked Mr. Snyder to expand on the stakeholder proposal. Mr. Snyder offered to
provide further details at a future Community Services/Development Services Committee meeting or
meet with Councilmember Wilson.
Councilmember Wilson suggested the copies of Councilmember emails sent to the Council Assistant be
included in weekly minutes. Mr. Snyder responded the problem was the sheer volume of material. He
acknowledged Councilmembers made a strong effort to provide all information, however, even text
messages regarding City business constituted a document. He noted the Public Records Act defines
public records as both written and electronic data. It was important to keep track of the data and to ensure
a Councilmember did not accidentally use a home or business email account and open their private life or
business to court intrusion or citizen request.
Councilmember Wilson asked what liability Councilmembers incurred if they used a personal email
address instead of a City email address for City business and did not archive on the server all emails. Mr.
Snyder answered the liability was the City’s and could give rise to attorney fees and fines of $100/day.
As the Mesa case shows, by the time a case goes through the judicial system, a small violation was
multiplied by the amount of time until it is judicially resolved.

Councilmember Orvis stated although he understood being as transparent as possible, one of the reasons
he used his personal email was as a potential candidate it was his duty to ensure City resources were not
used for campaign purposes. By using his personal computer and email he was shielded from using City
resources. Mr. Snyder appreciated his sensitivity to that aspect but said the difficulty was the information
on his email that was the conduct of public business was subject to the State archivists retention schedule
and deleting material from his computer may not comply with the State archivists retention schedule. He
assumed copies were sent to the Council Assistant in accordance with City policy so that copies were
retained of all official communications. However, Mr. Snyder’s concern was that Councilmember Orvis’
personal hard drive would need to be provided in order to make an independent determination regarding
what was/was not part of the public record. Councilmember Orvis suggested an email account that both
the City and a Councilmember could access. Mr. Snyder suggested using the City email account and any
responses be sent from his personal account. Councilmember Orvis envisioned a situation where he
wrote a letter to the editor and a citizen sent an election-related email to his City email and asked if he
would be in violation by forwarding that email to his personal email. Mr. Snyder commented the receipt
of information was not a problem but agreed forwarding or printing could be problematic.
Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett declared a brief recess.
8. FIRST READING: ORDINANCE AMENDING THE EDMONDS CITY CODE TO ENACT A
NEW CHAPTER 3.65, EDMONDS TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT DISTRICT (TBD),
ESTABLISHING A TBD, SPECIFYING THE BOUNDARIES FOR THE TBD, SPECIFYING THE
TBD’S PURPOSE TO MAINTAIN, PRESERVE, CONSTRUCT AND RECONSTRUCT EXISTING
STREET TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND OTHER CITY STREET
IMPROVEMENTS WHEN DESIGNATED ON STATE AND REGIONAL PLANS.
City Attorney Scott Snyder commented Ms. Shippen was correct with regard to what the AWC
recommended the ordinance include, however, that was not what the statute states, specifically with
regard to the revenue source. He referred to 36.73.050.2.b, that states the ordinance establishing a district
shall specify the functions and transportation improvements described to be exercised or funded and
establish the boundaries of the district. Although AWC states the ordinance should specify funding
sources, the statute does not. With regard to the functions, staff recommends the Council consider
funding maintenance functions via the funds raised. The maintenance of City streets was an ongoing
function. He suggested the packet at the public hearing include a history of Governor Gregoire’s request
that the State Transportation Plan include the funding of local public infrastructure maintenance as a high
priority item; a public records request is pending for a certified copy of the State Transportation Plan.
Projects that can be funded include any projects included on a state or regional plan.
In response to Ms. Shippen’s comments regarding the notice, Mr. Snyder advised staff would investigate
and if there was a problem, it would be corrected.
Community Services/Economic Development Director Stephen Clifton explained the proposed ordinance
was modeled after the recently approved Lake Forest Park ordinance. Lake Forest Park worked closely
with AWC to ensure the ordinance included what was required by RCW and AWC’s interpretation. He
referred to his October 23 email to Councilmember Bernheim recommending a public hearing on
November 18, Council direction and another hearing on December 2 and adoption on December 16.
With regard to whether the ordinance complied with RCW, Mr. Clifton noted the ordinance found the
creation of the TBD was in the public interest, identified the boundary of the TBD which was coextensive
with the City’s boundary, describes maintenance and preservation of previous investments, and provides
for the function and powers of the TBD. He advised the creation of fees would be adopted by separate
Packet Page 16 of 275
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 3, 2008
Page 14
ordinance after the TBD Board was created and seated. By creating the TBD, the Council was acting in
an ex officio capacity; the TBD Board would adopt the fees/taxes. Mr. Snyder noted the Council was the
TBD and would decide the range of funding options, many of which required a public vote.
Mr. Clifton advised he invited Ashley Probart, AWC, who attended the Council’s August retreat to attend
the November 18 public hearing to answer any questions regarding TBDs.
Councilmember Wilson pointed out some things must be done prior to January 1 to begin collecting
revenue July 1. Mr. Clifton explained after the TBD enacted a fee such as the $20 vehicle license fee, it
took six months for the Department of Licensing to begin imposing the fee and reimbursing cities. He
suggested the Council discuss fees and direct staff to develop a project list prior to the formation of the
TBD. Mr. Clifton advised a description of the transportation improvements would be included in the staff
report for the November 18 meeting. Mr. Clifton advised the TBD could be created on December 16 and
the formal business of the TBD conducted after the first of the year. Councilmember Wilson pointed out
this would delay collection of the funds. Mr. Clifton agreed it would delay collection until July 2009.
Councilmember Wilson asked if the boundary of the TBD would always be coexistent with the
boundaries of the City in the event of annexations. Mr. Snyder stated that was defined in the ordinance.
Councilmember Wilson recalled Ms. Shippen’s comment that when the project list was completed, the
TBD must be dissolved. Mr. Snyder stated a dissolution provision was included in the ordinance,
however the intended use of the funds was for ongoing maintenance and repair. Councilmember Wilson
noted it was implied that a project list was fixed and could not be expanded. Mr. Clifton advised some
jurisdictions may have one roadway to be funded via the TBD and the TBD would be dissolved when the
roadway was completed. With maintenance and repair, the $20 fee could be imposed for as long as
maintenance and preservation was needed. Mr. Snyder explained the original TBD provisions were very
restrictive and aimed at regional transportation improvements. Revisions to the TBD legislation in 2007
were intended to broaden the use and allow cities to use TBD funds to maintain roadways.
Councilmember Wilson asked how a project such as sidewalks or culverts could be added. Mr. Snyder
suggested the City follow the same process used to create the TBD to establish new purposes. This TBD
was being established for maintenance purposes and the funds could not be diverted to projects not listed
in the ordinance. Councilmember Wilson concluded the Council could re-purpose the TBD periodically.
He recommended clarifying with Mr. Probart the process for amending the use of the TBD funds as
projects arose.
Councilmember Bernheim inquired about the transportation impact fees on commercial and industrial
buildings. Mr. Clifton answered it could be approximately $10/business annually. Councilmember
Bernheim asked if the $10 annual fee was intended to reflect the impact of traffic generated by the
business. Mr. Snyder answered it was frequently graduated on the number of employees. Using his
business as an example, Councilmember Bernheim asked whether an annual fee of $5 per employee could
be imposed to offset the employee’s impact on local roadways. Mr. Snyder answered yes.
9. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND STAFF TO DISPENSE WITH
COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO RESTORE A FAILING
ROADWAY EMBANKMENT AND CULVERT ON TALBOT ROAD
Public Works Director Noel Miller explained last week staff discovered a rapidly deteriorating 24-inch
stormwater culvert that crossed under Talbot Road near Cyrus Place. He displayed a map of the area and
identified the location of the culvert which carries a stream running through the County park and out to
Puget Sound. He provided photographs of settlement on Talbot Road, noting at the toe of the
Packet Page 17 of 275
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 3, 2008
Page 15
embankment they were finding the culvert had come loose and was washing out in sections. As sections
washed out, it went back into the toe of the embankment causing the entire embankment to slide. To
complicate matters there is a high pressure water main under the sidewalk. He concluded time was of the
essence to do repairs as further deterioration was likely to cause the roadway embankment to fail similar
to the embankments on Olympic View Drive and 76th Avenue West last December.
He advised staff met with a team of engineers and contractors last week and began to mobilize to make
repairs. The most current information estimates the cost at $500,000. The work will be paid on a time
and material basis rather than via a lump sum estimate from the contractor. The State of Washington
standard specifications were used which specified the rate to be paid to the contractor. He estimated the
project would take two months to complete. He hoped total closure of the road would not be required and
that one lane could remain open during construction.
Mr. Miller relayed staff’s recommendation that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the Mayor and
staff to dispense with competitive bidding requirements, in order to restore a failing roadway
embankment and culvert on Talbot Road and appropriate up to $500,000 from the Combined 411 Utility
Fund and ending cash balance.
For Councilmember Wilson, Mr. Miller clarified the funds would come from ending cash balance from
the combined utility fund from utility rates with no General Fund monies.
COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS, TO
ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 1183, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND STAFF TO DISPENSE
WITH COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS, IN ORDER TO RESTORE A FAILING
ROADWAY EMBANKMENT AND CULVERT ON TALBOT ROAD AND APPROPRIATE UP
TO $250,000 FROM THE COMBINED 411 UTILITY FUND AND ENDING CASH BALANCE.
Councilmember Wilson expressed frustration with the requirement to make emergency repairs, pointing
out this was the result of the City not maintaining its infrastructure and he anticipated other emergency
repairs would arise in the future.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
10. WORKSHOP ON 2009-2010 BUDGET
A. DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION ON COUNCIL DIRECTION REGARDING
2009-2010 BUDGET OPTIONS.
Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett explained he had envisioned the Council giving direction regarding a budget
option, however, was hesitant to take that action without the full Council present.
COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING UNTIL 10:30 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett recommended the Council identify an option soon. He was hesitant to select an
option without Council President Pro Tem Dawson who left the meeting due to illness.
Councilmember Bernheim referred to the budget summary sheets that indicate a $107,000 annual savings
via the closure of Yost Pool and inquired about offsetting incomes. Parks & Recreation Director Brian
McIntosh answered that was the net savings. The pool generates approximately $132,000 and the
$107,000 was the savings that could be realized via closure.
Packet Page 18 of 275

Councilmember Wilson advised the work group met with Mr. McIntosh, Finance Director Kathleen
Junglov and Community Services/Economic Development Director Stephen Clifton recently. He referred
to information from MRSC regarding how levy lid lifts work and how votes could be enacted. The work
group discussed a public safety levy as an option although he assured they were not ready to make a
recommendation. Ms. Junglov provided the work group several examples of successful and unsuccessful
levies. Ms. Junglov advised Redmond passed two levies in 2007, a park maintenance levy of 5
cents/$1000 (passed with 59%) and a public safety levy for 35 cents/$1000 (passed with 63%). She noted
levies on tomorrow’s ballot included parks, parks/trails, parks and recreation, public safety, Pike Place
Market, and a South Prairie levy to prevent General Fund depletion.
Recognizing that the budget did not include funds for the federal lobbyist, Councilmember Wilson
recommended replacing that expenditure with a modest increase, perhaps $2,000 for the Mayor and
$2,000 for the Council President to visit Washington DC to solicit support for federal funds.
Councilmember Wilson asked whether Councilmembers should draft amendments for the next meeting or
wait to propose amendments at the November 18 or December 3 meetings. Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett
recommended Councilmembers provide their amendments to each other and City Clerk Sandy Chase who
could prepare a list that could be displayed at each budget workshop. Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett suggested
staff also display the budget options.
11. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Pro Tem Plunkett had no report.
12. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Orvis reported four “agonizing” cuts would be highlighted to the Health District Board
that would close an STD clinic, eliminate the disease investigator, and eliminate the childcare healthcare
program and the First Step home visiting program.

Narrative
The Federal Trade Commission issued regulations requiring financial institutions and creditors to
develop and implement written identity theft prevention programs by November 1, 2008, under
the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003 (FACTA). Municipal utilities are subject to
these requirements, and the City Councils of all cities that operate utilities must adopt programs
that meet the requirements of FACTA. These identity theft prevention programs must provide for
the identification, detection, and response to patterns, practices or specific activities - known as
"red flags" - that could indicate identity theft.

Identity Theft Prevention Program
November 18, 2008
Packet Page 110 of 275
L:\Productiondb\AGENDA\CCOUNCIL\0012_1910_City of Edmonds FACTA.doc
1
I. PROGRAM ADOPTION
The City of Edmonds developed this Identity Theft Prevention Program pursuant to the Federal
Trade Commission's Red Flag Rule, which implements Section 114 of the Fair and Accurate
Credit Transactions Act of 2003. 16 C. F. R. $ 681.2. This Program was developed with
oversight and approval of the Edmonds City Council. After consideration of the size and
complexity of the Utility's operations and account systems, and the nature and scope of the
Utility's activities, the City of Edmonds Council determined that this Program was appropriate
for the City of Edmonds and therefore approved this Program on November 18, 2008.
II. PROGRAM PURPOSE AND DEFINITIONS
A. Fulfilling requirements of the Red Flags Rule
Under the Red Flags Rule, every financial institution and creditor is required to establish an
"Identity Theft Prevention Program" tailored to the size, complexity and nature of its operation.
Each program must contain reasonable policies and procedures to:
1. Identify relevant Red Flags for new and existing covered accounts and incorporate those
Red Flags into the Program;
2. Detect Red Flags that have been incorporated into the Program;
3. Respond appropriately to any Red Flags that are detected to prevent and mitigate Identity
Theft; and
4. Ensure the Program is updated periodically, to reflect changes in risks to customers or to
the safety and soundness of the creditor from Identity Theft.
B. Red Flags Rule definitions used in this Program
The Red Flags Rule defines "Identity Theft" as "fraud committed using the identifying
information of another person" and a "Red Flag" as "a pattern, practice, or specific activity that
indicates the possible existence of Identity Theft."
According to the Rule, a municipal utility is a creditor subject to the Rule requirements. The
Rule defines creditors "to include finance companies, automobile dealers, mortgage brokers,
utility companies, and telecommunications companies. Where non-profit and government
entities defer payment for goods or services, they, too, are to be considered creditors."
All the Utility's accounts that are individual utility service accounts held by customers of the
utility whether residential, commercial or industrial are covered by the Rule. Under the Rule, a
"covered account" is:
1. Any account the Utility offers or maintains primarily for personal, family or household
purposes, that involves multiple payments or transactions; and
2. Any other account the Utility offers or maintains for which there is a reasonably
foreseeable risk to customers or to the safety and soundness of the Utility from Identity
Theft.
Packet Page 111 of 275
L:\Productiondb\AGENDA\CCOUNCIL\0012_1910_City of Edmonds FACTA.doc
2
"Identifying information" is defined under the Rule as "any name or number that may be used,
alone or in conjunction with any other information, to identify a specific person," including:
name, address, telephone number, social security number, date of birth, government-issued
driver's license or identification number, alien registration number, government passport number,
employer or taxpayer identification number, unique electronic identification number, computer's
Internet Protocol address, or routing code.
III. IDENTIFICATION OF RED FLAGS
In order to identify relevant Red Flags, the Utility considers the types of accounts that it offers
and maintains, the methods it provides to open its accounts, the methods it provides to access its
accounts, and its previous experiences with Identity Theft. The Utility identifies the following
Red Flags, in each of the listed categories:
A. Suspicious Documents
Red Flags
1. Identification document or card that appears to be forged, altered or inauthentic;
2. Identification document or card on which a person's photograph or physical description is
not consistent with the person presenting the document;
3. Other document with information that is not consistent with existing customer
information (such as if a person’s signature on a check appears forged); and
4. Application for service that appears to have been altered or forged.
B. Suspicious Personal Identifying Information
Red Flags
1. Identifying information presented that is inconsistent with other information the customer
provides (example: inconsistent name on account);
2. Identifying information presented that is inconsistent with external sources of
information (for instance, an address or phone number not matching on a customer
account);
3. Identifying information presented that is the same as information shown on other
customer accounts that were found to be fraudulent;
4. Identifying information presented that is consistent with known fraudulent activity (such
as an invalid phone number or fictitious billing address);
5. An address or phone number presented that is the same as that of another person;
6. A person's identifying information is not consistent with the information that is on file for
the customer.
Packet Page 112 of 275
L:\Productiondb\AGENDA\CCOUNCIL\0012_1910_City of Edmonds FACTA.doc
3
C. Suspicious Account Activity or Unusual Use of Account
Red Flags
1. Change of address for an account followed by a request to change the account holder's
name;
2. Payments stop on an otherwise consistently up-to-date account;
3. Account used in a way that is not consistent with prior use (example: very high
consumption);
4. Mail sent to the account holder is repeatedly returned as undeliverable;
5. Notice to the Utility that a customer is not receiving mail sent by the Utility;
6. Notice to the Utility that an account has unauthorized activity;
7. Breach in the Utility's computer system security; and
8. Unauthorized access to or use of customer account information.
D. Alerts from Others
Red Flags
Notice to the Utility from a customer, identity theft victim, law enforcement or other person that
it has opened or is maintaining a fraudulent account for a person engaged in Identity Theft.
IV. PREVENTING AND MITIGATING IDENTITY THEFT
In the event Utility personnel detect any identified Red Flags, such personnel must contact the
Finance Director of the City of Edmonds. The Finance Director will then decide which of the
following steps should be taken:
1. Continue to monitor an account for evidence of Identity Theft;
2. Contact the customer;
3. Change any passwords or other security devices that permit access to accounts;
4. Not open a new account;
5. Close an existing account;
6. Reopen an account with a new number;
7. Notify law enforcement; or
8. Determine that no response is warranted under the particular circumstances.
V. PROGRAM UPDATES
The Finance Director shall serve as Program Administrator. The Finance Director will
periodically review and update this Program to reflect changes in risks to customers and the
soundness of the Utility from Identity Theft. In doing so, the Finance Director will consider the
Utility's experiences with Identity Theft situations, changes in Identity Theft methods, changes
in Identity Theft detection and prevention methods, and changes in the Utility's business
Packet Page 113 of 275
L:\Productiondb\AGENDA\CCOUNCIL\0012_1910_City of Edmonds FACTA.doc
4
arrangements with other entities. After considering these factors, the Finance Director will
determine whether changes to the Program, including the listing of Red Flags, are warranted. If
warranted, the Finance Director will update the Program or present the City Council with his or
her recommended changes and the City Council will make a determination of whether to accept,
modify or reject those changes to the Program.
VI. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
A. Oversight
Responsibility for developing, implementing and updating this Program lies with the Finance
Director. The Finance Director will be responsible for the Program's administration, for ensuring
appropriate training of Utility staff, for reviewing any staff reports regarding the detection of
Red Flags and the steps for preventing and mitigating Identity Theft, for determining which steps
of prevention and mitigation should be taken in particular circumstances, and for considering
periodic changes to the Program.
B. Staff Training and Reports
Utility staff responsible for implementing the Program shall be trained either by or under the
direction of the Finance Director in the detection of Red Flags and the responsive steps
to be taken when a Red Flag is detected. Staff should prepare a report at least annually for the
Finance Director, including an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Program with respect to
opening accounts, existing covered accounts, service provider arrangements, significant
incidents involving identity theft and responses, and recommendations for changes to the
Program.
C. Service Provider Arrangements
In the event the Utility engages a service provider to perform an activity in connection with one
or more accounts, the Utility will take the following steps to ensure the service provider
performs its activity in accordance with reasonable policies and procedures designed to detect,
prevent, and mitigate the risk of Identity Theft.
1. Require, by contract, that service providers have such policies and procedures in place;
and
2. Require, by contract, that service providers review the Utility's Program and report any
Red Flags to the Finance Director.

Final 2008 Budget Amendment - Ordinance of the City of Edmonds, Washington, amending
Ordinance No. 3613 as a result of unanticipated transfers and expenditures of various funds. Approved for the Consent Agenda by the Finance Committee on 11-10-08.
Approved for the Consent Agenda by the Finance Committee on 11-10-08.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Approve attached Ordinance.
Previous Council Action
Finance Committee 11/10/2008
Narrative
In governmental budgeting, expenditures may take place up to the amount appropriated in the
current budget. Financial activity impacting appropriation levels are brought before the Edmonds
City Council on a quarterly basis in the form of a budget amendment ordinance.
The final 2008 budget amendment contains a total of 20 proposed adjustments, four of which have
previously been before Council.
General Fund requests total $426,159 of which $183,942 is related to the fiber project and
$100,000 is for an increase in legal fees due to lengthy labor negotiations and a LUPA appeal.
There is also an increase in the amount of $48,000 for the new prosecuting attorney contract. The
information technology department has asked for a budget amendment in the amount of $32,600
due to higher than expected licensing and maintenance fees. The police department submitted two
budget amendments totaling $27,217 to increase their overtime budget. The police department
received revenue for the overtime amount requested. The fire department is requesting an increase
to their uniforms and supply budgets in the amount of $10,100 which will be offset by a transfer
from the donations fund.
Non-General Fund expenditures will increase by $394,707. Two budget amendments make up the
majority of the requested increase. The first budget amendment is the transfer from REET 2 to the
Parks Construction Fund. When the fund was created during the 2006 budget process, a budget
was not entered for 2008. The second budget amendment is for an increase in the equipment rental
fuel budget due to the higher than anticipated fuel costs.

Increase Monthly Fee for Spaces at the 4th Ave. Parking Lot
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:11/18/2008
Submitted By:Sandy Chase Time:
Department:City Clerk's Office Type:Action
Review Committee:
Action:
Information
Subject Title
Adoption of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Edmonds, Washington amending the
provisions of City Code Section 8.48.330 Monthly Parking Permits to increase the monthly fee for
spaces at the Fourth Avenue Lot.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance increasing the monthly fee
for spaces at the Fourth Avenue Parking Lot to $100 per space.
Previous Council Action
In 1990, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2576 that set the monthly fee for the Fourth
Avenue Parking Lot at $25.00.
Narrative
The Fourth Avenue Parking Lot is currently owned by the Bank of America located at 306 Main
Street. The City has an agreement to lease the parking lot from the bank which was initially
entered into in 1989. The City pays the bank $300 per month for the use of the parking lot.
The parking lot consists of 25 parking spaces and is set up as follows:
•14 spaces are rented at $25.00 each per month
•10 spaces are designated as 3 hour parking for the public
•1 space is designated as a disabled parking space.
The City Code sets the monthly fee at $25.00 per space (ECC 8.48.330, Monthly Parking
Permits). The monthly fee of $25.00 has been in place since 1990.
In comparing the fee charged for the use of the 4th Avenue Parking Lot with other paid parking
lots in downtown Edmonds, it was determined that a fee increase is warranted (please refer to the
attached report prepared for the Downtown Parking Advisory Committee).
It is recommended that the fee be increased to $100 per space. In addition, the City Attorney has
advised that a leasehold excise tax in the amount of $12.84 will be required for each rented space.
The Downtown Parking Advisory Committee reviewed the request for a fee increase at their
Packet Page 123 of 275
November 5, 2008 meeting, and agreed with the recommendation to increase the fee.

Subject Title
Adoption of a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Edmonds, Washington, amending the
fee schedule for the City’s Planning, Public Works, Building and other fee structures, including a
savings clause, and establishing an effective date.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Adopt the proposed fee resolution.
Previous Council Action
The proposed fee changes were given to the City Council in the October 28, 2008 Budget
workshop packet. Staff received no comments on the proposed fee increases.
Narrative
Permit fees are adopted by resolution and can be adopted at any time. The last major update of the
Development Services Department fees took place in April of 2003 with the adoption of
Resolution No. 1041. Permit fees were evaluated in detail in 2003 to establish the fees that
presently exist. Since April 2003, the only fees that have increased are those associated with
building permits which adjusted by the building official to insure that the estimated building
construction valuation at the time of the building permit application, ECDC 19.70.015. These fees
cover building permit and plan review costs. Other permit fees have remained at 2003 levels.
Permit fees are anticipated to generally increase approximately 16% to cover the increased labor
costs since 2003. Some permit fees will increase greater than 16% where new or increased staff
time to complete reviews has been identified. Exhibit 1 outlines the proposed fee changes.

Approve an ordinance of the City of Edmonds adopting new Chapter 5.60 ECC Emergency
Medical Service Transport Charges to recover from users certain costs of providing emergency
medical services tranport, providing for serverability and an effective date of January 1, 2009.
Previous Council Action
In 1997, Council authorized a transport fee on individuals utilizing Medic 7's advanced life
support system. Later in the year, the fee was rescinded. The September 12, 2008 EMS Transport
User Fees White Paper contains relevant information prepared by the City Attorney in Appendix
A of that document entitled The History of Transport Fees and Use of Initiative and Referendum.
The EMS white paper was provided to Council on September 12, October 16, and is attached
below.
Narrative
EMS transport fees were discussed at Council retreats in February and August 2008. On
September 12 and October 16 Council was sent a EMS Transport User Fees White Paper
containing justifications for adopting fees, recommended program implementation steps, and how
a transport fee program modeled after successful, local programs already in existence would
operate. Specifically, pages 5 through 9 of the white paper identify key policies and procedures of
the program. The September 12 white paper is attached.
Also attached is the proposed City of Edmonds Financial Assistance Policy sent to the Council on
October 16. This policy is modeled after successful local charity programs already in existence.
A draft ordinance prepared by the City Attorney adopting new Chapter 5.60 ECC, Emergency
Medical Transport Charges, was sent to Council by the City Clerk on October 21 and is attached

EDMONDS FIRE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
Date: September 12, 2008
To: Mayor and Council
From: Thomas J. Tomberg, Fire Chief
Mark J. Correira, Assistant Fire Chief
Subject: EMS Transport User Fees
Fire Administration respectfully requests that the City Council consider
implementing Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Transport User Fees effective
January 1, 2009 or as soon as practical thereafter.
This white paper was reviewed by City Attorney Scott Snyder and Finance Director
Kathleen Junglov. The City Attorney wrote the section immediately below and
Appendix A.
This paper strives to explain why EMS transport user fees are justified,
recommends potential program implementation steps, and describes how a user
fee program might operate.
HISTORY AND THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO INSTITUTE EMS TRANSPORT
USER FEES
The City’s previous involvement with EMS user fees began and ended in 1997.
Attached Appendix A addresses the history of the previous effort, and expands
upon the legal aspects of instituting EMS transport user fees beyond information
contained in this section.
As a code city, Edmonds is organized under the authority of RCW Title 35A and
can exercise "all powers possible for a city or town to have under the Constitution
of this state, and not specifically denied to code cities by law" (RCW 35A.11.020).
Several classes of cities and towns are authorized to establish ambulance services
and charge for the service, see for example RCW 35.21.766, 35.23.456 and
35.27.370(15). The latter authorization for towns provides the broadest statement
of authority: "[t]o operate ambulance service which may serve the town and
surrounding rural areas and, in the discretion of the council to make a charge for
such service." In addition, municipalities are constitutionally authorized to provide
proprietary as well as governmental services.
OFFICE OF THE FIRE CHIEF
Packet Page 167 of 275
The fee for service must be based upon the city's actual cost of providing the
service. Providing an accurate accounting of the basis for the charge is necessary
to differentiate a transport fee from an illegal, i.e., unauthorized, tax. This paper
includes a theoretical cost basis for setting a user fee. Using standard
governmental accounting practices helps establish the reasonableness of the fee,
see Home Builder's Ass'n of Kitsap County v. City of Bainbridge Island, 137 Wn
App 338 (2007). Since other statutory statements of authority allow for an
ambulance service through a city utility, standard utility rate principals provide
excellent guidance when establishing a fee. For example, rates should be uniform
within classes of users.
The authority to set a user fee schedule is “specifically delegated by statute to the
Council.” EMS transport user fees are not subject to initiative or referendum.
SERVICE STIPULATION
To avoid any misunderstanding by the reader, the ability to pay will never be a
condition of EMS service, whether pre-emergent preparedness, emergency
response, medical care and treatment at the scene, and/or EMS transport of a
patient to a hospital.
EMS SERVICE DELIVERY
EMS is provided by the Edmonds Fire Department directly to patients by:
• 36 Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technicians assigned to the Operations
Division who provide initial response and basic life support (BLS), and
• 12 Firefighter/Paramedics assigned to the Advanced Life Support Division
(ALS) who provide a higher level of assessment and treatment.
The Fire Chief, Assistant Chief, Training Chief, and Executive Assistant administer
and support the EMS program.
PRIVATE AMBULANCE TRANSPORT CHARGES PAID BY EDMONDS
RESIDENTS
In 2007, 389 Edmonds residents and/or their insurers received bills for service
when transported by private ambulance. Edmonds Fire units were the initial
responders, treated and provided care to the patient at the scene, and made the
radio call to SNOCOM to request the private ambulance.
The condition(s) prompting the private ambulance request include:
• A BLS patient specifically requested transfer to a hospital other than
Stevens Memorial Hospital (SMH)
• SMH was on “divert”–only accepting critical patients
• EFD BLS and ALS units at or near depletion
2
Packet Page 168 of 275
• Private nurse units called to transfer BLS and/or stable ALS patients when
an intravenous line was started or medication administered by Edmonds
personnel.
Of 389 transports billed to users by private transport providers, one complaint was
received by Edmonds Fire Administration.
USER FEE CONCEPT
Currently the voter-approved EMS levy and regular property tax (General Fund)
pay for all direct and indirect program components:
Direct
• 9-1-1 reporting and dispatch
• EMS response
• Assessment, care and treatment at the scene
• Use of medical tools, equipment, and supplies at the scene
• Transport to hospital or receiving facility.
Indirect
• Capital for land acquisition, construction, maintenance, and replacement of
structures and vehicles
• Acquisition, care, maintenance, and/or replacement of medical tools,
equipment, and supplies
• Administration
• Compliance
• Risk management
• Training
• Records
• Quality assurance and improvement
• Legal
• 24-7-365 standby.
Use of direct and indirect EMS system components do not currently result in a user
fee; however, use in which the patient is transported to a hospital or appropriate
receiving facility in a vehicle operated by an EMS provider makes it legally
permissible for a user fee to be charged.
Medicare, Medicaid, and most other private insurance policies – health, auto, and
/or homeowners – allow for payment of EMS transport services.
To provide medical transport and not bill a patient or the patient’s insurance
carrier(s) is to overlook a legal, reputable, common, and well-established user fee
that helps defray the cost to the community of providing comprehensive EMS life
and safety services. By not charging a transport fee, individual users, private,
and/or public insurers are not asked to pay a legitimate charge for service that, in
the case of insurers, the patient paid to the carrier in the form of premiums for this
type of direct use of the health care system.

EMS TRANSPORT USER FEES IN SNOHOMISH COUNTY
EMS transport user fees are common in the county and among jurisdictions that
levy regular property taxes and have voter-approved EMS levies to include cities,
the one Regional Fire Protection Service Authority and 17 fire protection districts
who serve unincorporated areas and cities identified below:
Arlington Everett Marysville Silvana
Arlington Heights Getchell Monroe Snohomish
Brier Gold Bar Mountlake Terrace Stanwood
Bryant Granite Falls Mukilteo Startup
Clearview Index Oso Sultan
Darrington Lake Stevens Robe Valley
HOW MUCH MIGHT BE GENERATED BY AN EMS TRANSPORT USER FEE?
The City of Everett adopted EMS transport user fees in 2004. Using figures from
February 16, 2007 to January 16, 2008 provided by them for comparison, EMS
transport fees in Edmonds may generate approximately $700,000 in 2009. In 2007,
there were 2,259 transports by Edmonds Fire/EMS units from addresses inside
City boundaries and the contract fire-EMS jurisdictions.
WHY INSTITUTE EMS TRANSPORT USER FEES?
The combination of the voter-approved EMS levy (estimated at 3.856 million
dollars in 2009) and transport fees (estimated at 700,000 dollars in 2009) will help
propel the EMS delivery system toward becoming self-supporting.
Currently, a funding gap exists between funds provided by the recent EMS levy
and the actual cost to supply emergency medical services. As a result, the City
General Fund (which is made up of the regular property taxes) is required to make
up the difference. Transport user fees, combined with voter-approved EMS levy
funds, will help stabilize EMS funding to ensure continued quality emergency
medical care to the community and preserve General Fund monies to meet other
City needs and programs.
EMS costs are determined annually by taking the number of EMS calls as a
percent of all calls from the previous year and applying that percentage to the total
amount of the Fire Department program budget plus additional expenses minus the
annual Fire Prevention budget.
In 2007, 71 percent of Fire Department responses were medical in nature. The Fire
Department program budget is the amount that appears in the annual budget book.
Additional Expenses also appear in the annual budget book and are apportioned in
whole or in part to the Fire Department for:
• Station 20 contract payment
• Transfers to Fund 511 Apparatus Replacement Fund
• Transfers to the Fire Pension
4
Packet Page 170 of 275
• 1996 and 2003 Public Safety Bond
• Emergency Services Coordinating Agency (ESCA)
• SNOCOM
• 800 MHz Radio Snohomish County Bond
• Transfers to LEOFF Health
Computed EMS costs in 2008 using the above formula:
2008 EFD Program Budget $7,256,018
2008 Additional Expenses + 778,335
8,034,353
2008 Fire Prevention Budget - 257,619
7,776,734
2007 EMS Call Volume of 71 Percent x .71
5,521,481
In 2008, EMS service delivery costs are approximately $5,521,481.
NOTE: neither the 2009 EMS levy amount nor the Fire Department 2009 budget
will be finalized until later in the year.
CITY WORK GROUP
If Council wishes to consider instituting EMS transport user fees, an internal Work
Group should be formally established as soon as possible to include at minimum
the Fire Chief, Assistant Chief, City Attorney, and Finance Director or their
designee(s), and appropriate support staff.
Council may wish to assign a Council member(s) to the Work Group in order to
provide a “sense of the Council” as work proceeds.
Council may wish to decide if transport user fees will be billed internally or
contracted out to a billing agency. If the latter, the Work Group should be
authorized to begin meeting with contractors who can provide insight into the
complex mechanics of EMS transport billing and have a wealth of current and up-
to-date billing and collections experience to draw upon and share with the group.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Council may wish to determine the level and kind of public participation in the EMS
transport user fees evaluation process to include, but not limited to, public hearings
and/or establishing a blue ribbon commission of interested citizens to review,
comment and make recommendation to Council based on Work Group
recommendations.
EMS TRANSPORT USER FEE ELEMENTS
Transport user fee policies, procedures, and enabling ordinances are written in a
variety of ways to accommodate the public, elected officials, the service provider,
5
Packet Page 171 of 275
and to meet the requirements of statutes and case law governing ambulance
service.
Below are examples of transport user fee design elements Council may wish to
see incorporated into a draft ordinance, operational policies and procedures, and
patient billing practices. Many of these policies, procedures, and practices are
currently employed by EMS providers and billing contractors in the Puget Sound
region and Snohomish County. The draft design elements also reflect informal
input from the public and elected officials gleaned by Fire Administration over the
past, and the past experiences of the authors of this report who previously worked
for municipal and/or district Fire/EMS agencies with transport user fees.
Level of Use Determines Fee
Patients whose medical transport requires greater intervention and expense bear a
proportionately larger share of the cost. Below are recommended billing criteria
and recommended amounts for Council consideration.
1. Basic Life Support – Aid Unit transport by EMTs as defined in Chapter
18.73 RCW requiring noninvasive, basic emergency treatment skills
recommended fee: $475. Everett bills $475.
2. Advanced Life Support Level 1 – Medic Unit transport by Paramedics
requiring advanced medical treatment skills beyond the scope of EMTs as
defined in Chapter 18.71 RCW recommended fee: $700. Everett bills $694.
3. Advanced Life Support Level 2 – Medic Unit transport by Paramedics at
Level 1 plus a greater degree of intervention – manual defibrillation / cardio
conversion, endotracheal intubation, cardiac pacing, chest decompression,
surgical airway, intraosseous line, use of supplies and equipment
recommended fee: $800. Everett bills $800.
4. Mileage assessed per loaded mile one way, that is, mileage with patient on
board from the emergency scene to the receiving facility recommended
charge: $15.50. Everett bills $15.42.
5. Annual adjustment for inflation, fuel costs, and the increased cost of doing
business.
The attempt to perfectly align costs with transport revenue in a future budget is
elusive since the EMS call volume, level of service used, mileage, and collection
rate cannot be predicted. The goal of an annual, self-supporting EMS program
remains just that, a goal. In the case of Everett, approving a mileage adjustment to
$15.42 based on transport data illustrates a good faith effort to accurately align
costs with revenues (EMS levy, transports fees, regular property tax) to the best of
their ability and to the penny.
User Classes
6
Packet Page 172 of 275
It is recommended that Council establish the user classes identified below.
1. EMS Members. City residents and those of EMS contract jurisdictions–
Esperance, Woodway–who sign a City-approved form that contains an
assignment of insurance benefits to the City, together with an appropriate
release of medical information. See EMS Membership section below.
2. Nonmembers Category A. Persons who do not meet EMS membership
criteria who sign a City-approved form that contain an assignment of
insurance benefits to the City, together with an appropriate release of
medical information.
3. Nonmembers Category B. Persons, regardless of residence; who refuse to
sign or are unable to sign a City-approved form containing an assignment
of insurance benefits to the City, together with an appropriate release of
medical information; refuse to provide any insurance information; and/or
who state that they have no insurance.
4. Nonmembers Category C. Persons transported by Edmonds Fire personnel
from inside the geographical boundaries of Automatic Aid jurisdictions –
Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Shoreline, or the unincorporated areas of
Snohomish County other than Esperance protected by Fire District #1.
EMS Membership
EMS membership is not a pre-emergency process, but is offered by EMS
personnel and signed by the patient or authorized representative at the time of the
medical emergency and is part of the EMS incident documentation process.
Regardless of residence, Council may decide to expand EMS Membership to City
employees and employees who are working on the business premises of an EMS
levy tax-paying business located in the City.
EMS membership ceases when the patient no longer meets any of the established
membership criteria, or refuses to sign the membership/release/assignment forms.
Billing Within the Recommended User Classes
The User Class in the above section numbered 1 through 4 is matched with the
recommended billing procedure below.
1. EMS Members. All bills are sent to the patient’s insurance carrier(s). EMS
membership permits that portion of a transport bill not paid by a primary or
secondary insurer, supplemental insurer, third-party insurer, Medicare,
Medicaid, or any other insurance or medical benefits available to the
member to be deemed as having been paid by the EMS property tax levy
on owners of property in Edmonds.
7
Packet Page 173 of 275
2. Nonmembers Category A who sign appropriate forms. All bills are sent to
the patient’s primary or secondary insurer, supplemental insurer, third-party
insurer, Medicare, Medicaid, and/or to any other insurance or provider of
medical benefits available to the patient. Unpaid balances are sent to the
patient’s residence. The City may contract with a collection agency to bill
and collect unpaid transport user fees for services rendered as appropriate,
or pursue non-payment as a civil enforcement instituted by the City
Attorney.
3. Nonmembers Category B, regardless of residence, who refuse to sign or
are unable to sign appropriate forms; refuse to provide any insurance
information; and/or who state that they have no insurance. All bills are sent
to the patient’s residence. The City may contract with a collection agency to
bill and collect unpaid transport user fees for services rendered as
appropriate, or pursue non-payment as a civil enforcement instituted by the
City Attorney.
4. Nonmembers Category C. Absent a legal agreement to do so, persons
transported by Edmonds Fire personnel from inside the geographical
boundaries of Automatic Aid jurisdictions – Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace,
Shoreline, or the unincorporated areas of Snohomish County other than
Esperance protected by Fire District #1 would not receive a bill for service.
This is an infrequent transport type and currently no agreements to bill
inside each other’s jurisdiction for transport exist or are under discussion. In
the future, agreements between two or more co-operators could occur.
General Billing Procedure and Criteria
Below are recommended and required criteria for guiding the user fee billing
process.
1. The ability to pay will never be a condition of EMS service, whether pre-
emergent preparedness, emergency response, medical care and treatment
at the scene, and/or EMS transport of a patient to a hospital.
2. It is the intent of billing for use of the EMS transfer service that the
revenues generated in combination with proceeds from the EMS levy will
move toward the goal of making the EMS delivery system self-supporting.
3. All persons transported by the Edmonds Aid and/or Paramedic Units shall
be charged for all services provided by the Fire Department except as
indicated in the above section (4. Automatic Aid jurisdictions). Each person
transported will be billed for all services rendered by the Fire Department.
EMS members and nonmembers shall be billed at the same rate.
4. Billing is applied within and among each user class in a fair, equitable, and
consistent manner.
8
Packet Page 174 of 275
5. Eligible recipients of Medicare and Medicaid are billed to the maximum rate
allowed under applicable requirements and guidelines of the Medicare and
Medicaid programs.
6. Every user shall have the opportunity to pay for EMS services rendered.
Failing to bill every user or their insurer(s) as described within each class
description is unfair to all users with or without insurance who make
reasonable efforts to pay their debts under a variety of federal, state, and
private insurance programs, and/or out of their own pockets as a lump sum
or by installment.
7. The Fire Department will provide EMS transport services to a wide variety
of users – EMS members and nonmembers, residents and nonresidents,
insured and uninsured, and cooperative and uncooperative. For these
reasons the City or its billing contractor must have wide latitude in sending
out bills to recoup the cost of service provision. The more exceptions to
transport billing, the more difficult it is to administer the program, collect
fees to maintain a self-supporting service, and ensure uniformity, equity,
and fairness within and among different user classes.
8. The difference between fees for services provided and the amount
collected within billing parameters established by Council from all
reasonable, available, and legal sources is deemed uncollectible and shall
be reported as such on an annual basis.
Fire Administration recommends Council enter into a contract(s) with a private
provider(s) for billing and collection for user transports provided by the Fire
Department. Private contractors bring technical expertise and assistance to the
process, and have the experience to navigate the complex rules governing billing
and cost recovery through the various federal, state, and private insurance
programs. Private billing contractors usually bill per medical incident report
processed. The general range is from $19 to $23 per report processed plus
postage. Collection rates are generally based on a percentage of the outstanding
balance.
It is important to note City policy with regard to unpaid balances as described for
the user classes above and what bills are and are not sent to patients’ residences
and under what conditions.
Caveat
Insurers routinely send patients who have received any medical service a
document that looks like a bill and frequently, but not always, notes in bold letters
THIS IS NOT A BILL. This document advises the patient of the medical service
received, the service provider, total charges, amount of the charge covered by the
insurer(s), and the outstanding balance, if any, that is considered the responsibility
of the patient.
The Everett Fire Chief reports the THIS IS NOT A BILL document, which may be
received by the three user classes identified above from their insurer(s), is virtually
9
Packet Page 175 of 275
the only type of question/comment/complaint they receive from Everett residents
since implementing EMS transport user fees.
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
Implementing transport user fees adds another aspect to EMS crews’ current
response, treatment, and transport process. To facilitate collection of insurance
billing information, and ensure a rapid return to available-to-respond status, the
Department needs to acquire computerized tablets designed to run EMS reporting
software. Four tablets can be acquired at an approximate cost of $20,000. The
EMS reporting software under discussion for use countywide is estimated to cost
$20,000 a year annually.
There are other reasons to acquire computerized tablets at the time transport user
fees are implemented. Medical incident reporting in Snohomish County is migrating
toward a paperless EMS reporting system provided by a single vendor. A uniform
system has the following advantages:
• One standard system in use countywide
• Data from all county providers stored in one location
• Report information easily shared and accessible
• Data and trend analysis easier
• Quality assurance improved
• County hospitals better able to transfer patient healthcare information
• Portability of healthcare information from receiving hospitals is critical when
gathering insurance billing information and will reduce the percent of
uncollectible accounts.

APPENDIX A
THE HISTORY OF TRANSPORT FEES AND
USE OF INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM
In November, 1996, Medic 7, an interlocal agency of which the City was a member,
recommended imposition of a transport fee on individuals utilizing Medic 7’s
advanced life support system. A committee of Medic 7 recommended setting a
transport fee at a level that would generate enough funds to account for funds
previously contributed by Snohomish County Fire District No. 1 (who had
withdrawn from Medic 7) based upon a projected number of transport fees for the
coming year. The committee recognized that a private insurance, Medicaid and
Medicare would cover most of the transport fees for most users, thereby
maximizing available resources of limiting the use of taxpayers’ funding. The Medic
7 Board of Directors passed a resolution imposing a $400 transfer fee to
commence in January of 1997. Medic 7 contracted with the medical billing service
to perform all the billing functions required for the transport fee. The individual
municipal members were not involved in implementing or administering the
transport fee. One member, Lynnwood, elected to pay the cost of transport fees
incurred by its citizens through an increased assessment. Edmonds made a similar
election in November 1997.
Edmonds’ citizens expressed that the transport fee might be a disincentive to
request emergency medical service for individuals who were worried about their
ability to pay any transport fee. In response, the City placed an increase to the
EMS levy on the ballot for 1997 and established a fund to cover the cost of
transport fees for persons meeting certain financial eligibility criteria would
otherwise be unable to cover the cost of the fees.
On July 30, 1997, a citizens group, Citizens Opposing Unsound Practices
(“COUP”) filed an initiative petition with the City. The initiative contained many of
the provisions regarding a fund to assist needy individuals but also contained a
number of administrative provisions imposing significant restrictions on the City
Council’s discretion and addressing the provision of Emergency Medical Services.
The initiative would have required (1) the establishment of a dedicated EMS fund in
the City’s accounting system; (2) the deposit of all proceeds of the EMS levy in the
EMS fund; (3) that the EMS fund be first used to pay for the provision of advanced
life support services (via Medic 7 or any successor provider) and that any
remaining funds then be used to pay for basic life support services; (4) that the City
not impose any fee-for-service type funding mechanism for the provision of
advanced life support services; and (5) that that City’s representative on the Board
of Directors for Medic 7 actively oppose any fee-for-service type funding
mechanism for advanced life support systems.
When the Snohomish county auditor certified the signatures on the petition on
August 8, 1997, the petition was returned to the City for further action. As provided
in RCW 35.17.260, the City Council declined to approve the initiative and passed
an ordinance placing the matter on the ballot.
12
Packet Page 178 of 275
At the same time, the City Council then authorized a declaratory judgment action
seeking to have the initiative declared invalid and sought a preliminary injunction.
The citizens group declined to answer or file any pleading. The Snohomish County
Superior Court eventually held that the issue was “moot,” declined to rule on a City
motion for summary judgment and allowed the circulators to withdraw their petition
for an initiative without ruling on the merits of the case. Then Council member Gary
Haakenson brokered a deal with COUP to campaign for the EMS levy in exchange
for a commitment of City Council to forgo transport fees for five years.
I review this history because it is likely to come up if the City Council considers a
transport fee. While Medic 7 has dissolved, citizen opposition to transport fees may
lead to a discussion of an initiative or referendum. The City Council’s prior actions
were based on an important limitation on the power of direct legislation by initiative
and referendum. There are two basic inquiries to determine whether a matter is
subject to initiative and referendum: (1) whether the action at issue is properly
categorized as “legislative” or “administrative” in nature; and (2) whether the
statutory authority for the action was specifically granted to the City’s “legislative
body” or to the City as a corporate entity. Lince v. City of Bremerton, 25 Wash.
App. 309, 311, 607 P.2d 329 (1980). The Washington courts have long recognized
that amendments of an existing legislative scheme, such as a zoning ordinance,
are beyond the initiative power. Leonard v. City of Bothell, 87 Wn. 2d 847, 557
P.2d 1306 (1976); Ruano v. Spellman, 81 Wn.2d 820, 505 P.2d 447 (1973); State
ex rel Guthrie v. Richland, 80 Wn.2d 382, 494 P.2d 990 (1972); State ex rel Haas
v. Pomeroy, 50 Wn.2d 23, 308 P.2d 684 (1957). An attempt to use the initiative or
referendum process could run afoul of the first limitations and would clearly violate
the second.
A fundamental limitation on the exercise of the people’s direct power of initiative
and referendum is that the power is “limited in scope to subject matter which is
legislative in nature.” Ford v. Logan, 79 Wn.2d 147, 155, 483 P.2d 1247 (1973).
The courts have consistently set forth the following test for determining when an
act is legislative in nature:
Actions relating to subjects of permanent and general
character are usually regarding as legislative, and
those providing for subjects of temporary and special
character are regarding as administrative…
The test of what is legislative and what is an
administrative proposition, with respect to the
initiative or referendum, has further been said to be
whether the proposition is one making new law or to
execute law already in existence. The power to be
exercised is legislative in nature if it prescribes a new
policy or plan; whereas, it is administrative in nature if
it merely pursues a plan already adopted by the
legislative body itself, or some power superior to it.
Leonard, 87 Wn.2d at 850 (quoting 5 E McQuillan, The Law of Municipal
Corporations, Section 16.55 at 223 (3rd Ed. 1969 revised volume).
13
Packet Page 179 of 275
The transport fee initiative descended into a level of administrative detail that is
clearly beyond the initiative power.
Secondly, and given the language of the enabling statute, the most important
limitation is that the decision to establish a transport fee would be an exercise of a
power specifically delegated to the City Council. See RCW 35.27.370(15) (“in the
discretion of the City Council”). An initiative or referendum may not seek to
exercise or restrict a power specifically delegated to the City Council. In this case,
the decision to establish a transport fee and set its amount is specifically delegated
by statute to the discretion of the City Council.

CITY OF EDMONDS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY
The following criteria for provision of financial assistance to EMS Transport Users are
consistent with the requirements of WAC 246-453-001 through 246-453-060.
Policy
It is City of Edmonds and Fire Department policy that ability to pay is never a condition of
service. All aspects of pre-hospital service will be provided to all patients without
discrimination toward those with no or inadequate means to pay.
The most recent Federal Poverty Guidelines (updated annually in February) shall be used to
implement a process for debt forgiveness. The Fire Department and/or its designated
agent(s), following guidelines described below, reserve the right to extend debt forgiveness
to persons unable to complete the required application process.
Financial Assistance applications are available upon request through the EMS billing
company who is responsible for obtaining approval signatures for write-offs from the
Edmonds Fire Department at the time that each application is processed. The billing
company will report financial assistance account activity, and the amount of EMS fee debt
forgiveness (written off) to the City and the Fire Department on a regular basis.
Definitions
Debt Forgiveness is canceling a debt owed to the City for EMS services rendered, either
partial or in full.
Financial Assistance is the provision of medical assistance to persons without the ability to
pay for such services, either partial or in full payment, and is also known as Indigent Care.
Responsibilities
The billing company ascertains whether those persons claiming to need financial
assistance, actually meet criteria according to the current Federal Poverty Guidelines. These
guidelines are the same criteria used by hospitals to establish the need for economic
assistance.
It is the responsibility of the billing company to notify the Fire Department of the existence of
such accounts. Supplemental information, such as income level, cost of living, etc. is also
provided.
It is the responsibility of the Fire Department EMS Administrator to review the
documentation requesting debt forgiveness according to the financial assistance guidelines.
The EMS Administrator signs the approval document and faxes it back to the billing
company. A copy of this request is kept on file for future reference at both locations. The
City is kept informed of the financial assistance account activity on a monthly basis.
1
Packet Page 185 of 275
Guidelines
A. Criteria for determining the financial status of applicants for debt forgiveness assists in
making consistent and objective decisions regarding the eligibility for financial
assistance, and ensures maintenance of a sound financial base and fairness to all EMS
transport service users.
1. Service Categories. Emergency medical services will be provided for persons
needing financial assistance.
2. Eligibility Criteria. Debt forgiveness is secondary to all other financial resources
available to the patient including insurance, government programs, third party
liability, and liquid assets.
3. Full debt forgiveness will be provided to a patient with a gross family income at or
below 100% of current published Federal Poverty Income Guidelines.
4. A partial debt forgiveness schedule will be used to determine financial assistance
according to current published Federal Poverty Income Guidelines.
5. Debt forgiveness may be provided to a responsible party with gross family annual
income greater than 200% of the federal poverty guidelines if circumstances such as
extraordinary non-discretionary expenses, future earning capacity, and the ability to
make payments over an extended period of time warrant consideration.
6. Reasonable payment arrangements, consistent with the eligible responsible party’s
ability to make payments, will be extended for amounts not eligible for debt
forgiveness. Up to four monthly payments without interest may be arranged. The Fire
Department reserves the right to revoke any debt forgiveness and assign all unpaid
balances to collections if an extended payment agreement is in default.
B. Eligibility Determination. Requests for consideration may be proposed by sources such
as physician, community or religious groups, social services, hospital personnel, the
patient, guarantor, or family member. The Fire Department will use an application
process through their billing company to determine initial interest in and qualification for
financial assistance. The Fire Department’s decision to provide debt forgiveness in no
way affects the responsible party’s financial obligations to physicians or other healthcare
providers.
1. The Fire Department shall base their decision of eligibility based upon the data
gathered via the billing company along with their recommendation.
2. Applications for debt forgiveness are available through the billing company upon
request.
3. Criteria for meeting debt forgiveness eligibility are verified through utilization of the
current Federal Poverty Guidelines which are also utilized by most healthcare
institutions. The billing company utilizes documentation provided by the patient to
verify the need for debt forgiveness. Such documentation may include tax returns,
payroll check stubs, letters of verification of absence of income from responsible
parties, etc.
2
Packet Page 186 of 275
4. All documentation is forwarded from the billing company to the Fire Department for
review and approval for those cases that meet financial assistance criteria. The
request is signed by the Fire Department EMS Administrator and returned to the
billing company. A copy of the documentation is kept by the Fire Department.
5. A letter of denial is sent by the billing company on behalf of the Fire Department to
those persons not meeting Financial Assistance Policy requirements.
6. Appeals. The responsible party may appeal the determination of eligibility for debt
forgiveness by providing additional information of verification of income or family size
to the billing company.
7. The City and the Fire Department realize that certain persons may have no financial
means to pay for their EMS transport, but also lack the social network/family
necessary to help them complete any paperwork required to apply for financial
assistance. It is with this limited population in mind, that the City/Fire Department
realizes that there may be individual cases in which there will be no application
process completed. The billing company will notify the EMS Administrator when
these situations occur.

Ordinance to Establish a Transportation Benefit District
Recommendation:
Mayor Haakenson, City of Edmonds Attorney, and staff recommend the City Council approve
an ordinance to enact a new Chapter 3.65 Edmonds Transportation Benefit District,
establishing a Transportation Benefit District, specifying the boundaries for the

(Exhibit 1).
Summary:
Engrossed Senate and House Bill 1858 authorizes a funding mechanism for cities and
counties that could provide necessary resources to help maintain and preserve
transportation infrastructure. The following provides information on the need to generate
funding for these purposes as they relate to the City of Edmonds, and the overall framework
regarding Transportation Benefit Districts.
City of Edmonds Transportation Infrastructure – Needed Funding
As discussed during the 2008 February and August City Council retreats, and more recently
during public hearings and workshops on the City of Edmonds budget, the City has limited
revenue to pay for basic preservation, maintenance and construction of the City’s
transportation infrastructure. Over the years, funding dedicated for these purposes has
been decreasing. Due to the passage of Initiative 695 in 1999 and Initiative 776 in 2002,
{ERZ706668.DOC;1/00006.080057/}City of Edmonds Z Community Services and Economic
Development
Packet Page 203 of 275
the City experienced an approximate loss of $1,200,000 in Motor Vehicle Excise Taxes, and
$320,000 in Snohomish County Local Vehicle License fees.
While dedicated revenues have decreased, the ongoing annual costs to preserve and
maintain the City’s transportation infrastructure continue to rise, leaving the City unable to
adequately fund this need. As indicated on page 59 of the City of Edmonds 2009 – 2010
Budget, annual subsidies or transfers from the General Fund to the Street Operations Fund
have been, and continue to be, increasing. In 2008, the General Fund subsidy is expected
to reach approximately $472,550. In 2009 and 2010, this subsidy is expected to reach
approximately $700,000 and $770,000 respectively. This increasing subsidy is having an
impact on the City’s ability to pay for basic public services using General Fund revenue. The
City is now at the point of needing to make decisions between preserving and maintaining
its transportation infrastructure or providing basic parks maintenance, public safety, and
other City services.
State Legislation allows local governments to establish a Transportation Benefit District
(“TBD”) and accompanying funding sources to provide for the preservation, maintenance
and construction of local transportation infrastructure. With the establishment of a City of
Edmonds TBD and the levying of a $20 vehicle license fee, the City will begin to replace, in
part, transportation funding that has been lost to the City, reduce the General Fund subsidy,
and help preserve and maintain the City’s transportation infrastructure.
Transportation Benefit District Background Information:
In 1987, the Washington State Legislature approved legislation that allows jurisdictions the
ability to establish Transportation Benefit Districts as an option for local governments to
fund transportation improvements. Since 2005, the Legislature has amended the TBD
statute to expand its uses and revenue authority. More recently, in 2007, the Legislature
amended the TBD statute (ESHB 1858).
A TBD can fund transportation improvements contained in any existing state or regional
transportation plan that is necessitated by existing or reasonably foreseeable congestion
levels. This can include maintenance and improvements to city streets, county roads, state
highways, investments in high capacity transportation, public transportation, transportation
demand management and other transportation projects identified in a regional
transportation planning organization plan or state plan.
A TBD may also fund operations, maintenance, and preservation of the programs and
facilities referenced above; such activities are noted in state and regional transportation
plans. The number one priority within the “Washington Transportation Plan for 2007-2026”
adopted by the Washington Transportation Commission (“State Transportation Plan”) is to
preserve and extend prior investments in existing transportation facilities and the services
they provide to people and commerce (www.wsdot.wa.gov/NR/rdonlyres/083D185B-7B1F-
49F5-B865-C0A21D0DCE32/0/FinalWTP111406_nomaps.pdf). The State Transportation
Plan identifies in Section II that there is no more fundamental transportation investment
than existing system preservation – keeping the physical infrastructure in safe and efficient
operating condition. The State Transportation Plan on page 72 also establishes unfunded
{ERZ706668.DOC;1/00006.080057/}2
Packet Page 204 of 275
high priorities of state-wide significance and includes the need to “[p]reserve, maintain and
operate city streets $6 billion”, thereby recognizing that the shortfall in funding to preserve,
maintain and operate city streets is a matter of state-wide significance and accordingly, an
eligible transportation improvement listed on the state plan within the meaning of RCW
36.73.015.
Investment principles from the Puget Sound Regional Council “Destination 2030
Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the Central Puget Sound Region” states that the first
priority should be to maintain, preserve, make safe, and optimize existing transportation
infrastructure and services (page 22). Regional Transportation Policy 8.3 identifies the
importance of maintaining and preserving the existing urban and rural transportation
systems in a safe and usable state. Page 62,
(www.psrc.org/projects/mtp/pubs/D2030plan5.07.pdf) notes that adequate maintenance,
preservation, and expansion of local roads are an important element of the “system” and
that new local options should be put to this purpose. This being said, any transportation
improvement also needs to be “necessitated by existing or reasonably foreseeable
congestion levels”. Although there is no statutory definition of congestion, not every street,
road, transit program, etc. may qualify as a transportation improvement.
Transportation Benefit Districts are quasi-municipal corporations and independent taxing
districts created for the sole purpose of acquiring, constructing, improving, providing, and
funding transportation improvements within the district. A TBD Board has several revenue
options, some of which are subject to voter approval. TBDs offer flexibility, i.e., they allow
cities and counties the ability to work on addressing both regional and local transportation
challenges. The legislative authority of a county or city may create a TBD by ordinance
following the procedures set forth in Chapter 36.73 of the Revised Code of Washington. A
county or city proposing to create the TBD may include other counties, cities, port districts,
or transit districts through interlocal agreements. Members of the legislative authority
proposing to establish the TBD shall serve as governing body of the TBD, albeit in an ex-
officio and independent capacity.
Although a TBD has powers similar to that of a city, e.g., impose taxes, eminent domain
powers, contracting, etc., it is a separate taxing district. If the City wishes to form a TBD,
the City Council will need to:
• Publish notice of a public hearing (at least once, ten days or more before the proposed
hearing in a newspaper of general circulation within the proposed TBD). A notice was
published on October, 26, 2008.
• Hold a public hearing (the legislative authority of the jurisdiction must hear objections
from any person affected by the creation of the TBD). A first reading of an ordinance
enacting a TBD took place on November 3, 2008. A public hearing is scheduled for
November 18, 2008.
{ERZ706668.DOC;1/00006.080057/}3
Packet Page 205 of 275
• Adopt an ordinance creating a TBD. The ordinance must include:
o A finding that the creation of a TBD must be in the public’s interest (pages 3
and 4 of the draft Ordinance).
o The boundaries of the TBD (page 3 of the draft Ordinance).
o The functions and powers of the TBD (page 5 of the draft Ordinance).
o Description of the transportation improvements proposed by the district (pages
5 and 6 of the draft Ordinance).
NOTE: The creation of the fees should be by separate ordinance after the TBD
Board has been created and seated.
Functions of the Transportation Benefit District
Section 2 of the draft Ordinance, if adopted by the Edmonds City Council, calls for the
creation of a Transportation Benefit District, and establishes a new chapter within the
Edmonds Municipal Code (ECC), i.e., 3.65 “Edmonds Transportation Benefit District”. The
Ordinance also describes the makeup of the Board (ECC Section 3.65.020), the TBD’s
functions (ECC Section 3.65.030), and transportation improvements that would be funded by
the TBD (ECC Section 3.65.040).
In practical terms, the governing board of the TBD shall be the Edmonds City Council and
serve as a separate government, much like a water district. The TBD Board shall conduct
business independent of a City Council meeting and have the authority to exercise the
statutory powers set forth in Chapter 36.73 RCW. The treasurer of the Transportation
Benefit District shall be the City Finance Director.
To the extent City employees work on TBD projects, the City will have to be paid. There
are also additional administrative considerations. The TBD would need to have all of the
same administrative functions, including but not limited to: approved procedures, clerk
functions (meeting notices, agendas, minutes, records, etc.), finance functions (budget,
accounting, auditing, etc.), legal services.
The boundaries of a TBD may be less than the boundaries of those jurisdictions participating
in the TBD. For example, a city may choose to have the TBD boundaries identical with the
corporate limits of the city, or just include a portion of the city. However, if a TBD chooses
to exercise the taxing authority that does not require a public vote (e.g. vehicle license
and/or transportation impact fees), the boundaries of the TBD must be citywide. According
to the draft Ordinance, the geographical boundaries of an Edmonds TBD would be
comprised of the corporate limits of the City as they currently exist or as they may exist
following future annexations.
TBD revenue options subject to voter approval:
1. Property taxes – a 1-year excess levy or an excess levy for capital purposes.
2. Up to 0.2% sales and use tax.
3. Annual vehicle fee above $20 and up to $100 per vehicle registered within the district.
4. Vehicle tolls.
{ERZ706668.DOC;1/00006.080057/}4
Packet Page 206 of 275
TBD revenue options not subject to voter approval:
1. Annual vehicle fee up to $20 per vehicle registered within the district. This fee is
collected at the time of vehicle license renewal.
2. Transportation impact fees on commercial and industrial buildings. Residential buildings
are excluded. In addition, a city must provide a credit for a commercial or industrial
transportation impact if the respective city has already imposed a transportation impact fee.
The law requires TBDs to provide a credit for vehicle fees previously imposed by a TBD.
For example, if a City was the first to create a TBD to impose a $20 vehicle fee and
subsequently its County creates a countywide TBD imposing a $20 vehicle fee, the County
TBD must provide a $20 credit against its fee for vehicles registered within the City. As a
result, no fee would be collected by the County TBD from vehicles registered in the City.
However, if in the same example, the City TBD imposed only $10 of the $20 vehicle fee and
the County TBD imposed a countywide $20 vehicle fee, only a $10 credit would be provided
for vehicles registered in the City. The County TBD would collect $10 from vehicles
registered within the City.
Other Requirements
Revenue rates, once imposed, may not be increased, unless authorized by voter approval.
The TBD must issue an annual report to include the status of project costs, revenues,
expenditures, and construction schedules.
The vehicle license fee is administered by the Department of Licensing (DOL). The fee
cannot be collected until 6 months after the fee is authorized by voters or the TBD
governing board. There are a several vehicles types (snowmobiles, farm equipment, etc.)
exempt from the fee. The fee is collected by DOL on vehicle renewals, remitted to the State
Treasurer who will then remit the proceeds to the TBD monthly.
Financial Impact:
The most likely non-voted funding option being considered by several jurisdictions is the
annual up to $20 per vehicle license fee. If a TBD were created for the City of Edmonds,
and a funding mechanism, e.g., $20 vehicle license fee, was adopted by early January,
2009, the City of Edmonds could expect to receive approximately $353,000 - $357,000
(rounded) in 2009 for six months of revenue receipts (July-December). This is because
there is a six-month delay from the date of authorization to the date the Department of
Licensing starts collecting the fee. The City may expect to receive up to $706,000 -
$715,000 (rounded) for a full-year in 2010. The caveat is that this is only an estimate and is
subject to change based on actual numbers from the Department of Licensing at the time
fees are collected.
{ERZ706668.DOC;1/00006.080057/}5
Packet Page 207 of 275
Two methodologies have been used to estimate revenue using an annual $20 vehicle fee
amount.
1. Number of households and average vehicles owned methodology - Number of
households within the City of Edmonds (18,046) x an average of 2 cars per
household x $20 vehicle license fee.
a. For year 2009, 18,046 x 2 x $20 = $721,840 x .5 (6 months of collections)
= $360,740.
b. For year 2010, 18,046 x 2 x $20 = $721,840
NOTE: The above listed amounts do not include a deduction of 1% for a
Department of Licensing administrative fee. Applying this fee results in potential
revenue of $357,000 for year 2009, and $715,000 for year 2010.
2. Association of Washington Cities methodology - Ratio of people to total vehicles
countywide (609,178 / 696,600 = .875) x city population (40,760) x $20 vehicle
license fee.
a. For year 2009 - .875 x 40,760 x $20 x .5 (6 months of collections) =
$356,650
b. For year 2010 - .875 x 40,760 x $20 = $713,300
NOTE: The above listed amounts do not include a deduction of 1% for a
Department of Licensing administrative fee. Applying this fee results in potential
revenue of $353,083 for year 2009, and $706,167 for year 2010.
NOTE: Although the Department of Licensing possesses a list of the estimated number of
vehicles eligible for the $20 vehicle license fee under ESHB 1858 for each City, the number
of vehicles referenced for the City of Edmonds (47,838) has not been used as a multiplier.
The reason is that the City’s name does NOT indicate whether the physical location of an
address is inside the city boundaries or not; it is simply associated with which post office
delivers mail to that address. Additionally, Zip codes sometimes apply to more than one City
name.
Benefits of Establishing a Transportation Benefit District:
• Creates a funding mechanism where there is a clear nexus between a user group
(drivers and vehicles) and use of the roadway network.
• Revenues from a $20 vehicle license fee significantly reduce the annual General Fund
subsidy of street maintenance and operation expenditures.
• Funds from a City-wide TBD will be dedicated to maintain, preserve and/or construct
City of Edmonds transportation infrastructure.
o NOTE: Revenue generated from a $20 fee is not projected to be sufficient to fund
any capital project(s) listed on the City’s 6 year capital improvement program
including annual street overlay projects.
• Assists in maintaining current level of service for transportation infrastructure
maintenance and preservation.
• The establishment of an annual $20 vehicle license fee is a flat rate and will not
increase, unless approved by voters.

Packet Page 208 of 275
{ERZ706668.DOC;1/00006.080057/}7
• The TBD must issue an annual report to include the status of project costs,
revenues, expenditures, and schedules, thus providing accountability.
• Vehicle license fee program is administered by the Washington State Department of
Licensing. The State Treasurer will remit proceeds to the TBD on a monthly basis.
Conclusion:
The improvement, maintenance, protection and operation of public ways requires preserving
existing transportation improvements to avoid both catastrophic failure of the improvements
which would require significant additional funds to reconstruct, as well as their gradual
deterioration. Unless the City of Edmonds establishes a Transportation Benefit District or
other funding mechanism, the City will not be able to sustain current levels of service related
to transportation infrastructure maintenance and preservation.

Property Performance Standards ECDC 17.60
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:11/18/2008
Submitted By:Duane Bowman Time:30 Minutes
Department:Development Services Type:Action
Review Committee:
Action:
Information
Subject Title
Public hearing on the Planning Board recommendation regarding revisions to ECDC 17.60 -
Property Performance Standards. The standards establish standards for things such as
noise, lighting, particulate matter, open storage, and the number of vehicles parked on
private property including recreational vehicles.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance implementing the Planning Board
recommendation.
Previous Council Action
Narrative
Originally property performance standards were included with property nuisances. The City
Attorney advised that nuisances should be separated and made part of the municipal code and not
the development code. The City Council recently took action on nuisance regulations.
Property performance standards establish regulations governing noise, lighting, particulate matter,
open storage, and the number of vehicles parked on private property including recreational
vehicles. The Planning Board held public hearings on the property performance standards on July
9, 2008 and July 23, 2008. Minutes from the Planning Board meetings on this topic are attached
as Exhibit 2.
After taking public testimony, the Planning Board reviewed different alternatives and settled on
the recommendation attached to this agenda memo (Exhibit 1). The key issues were:
- Allowing storage in only one side yard,
- Requiring screening of recreational vehicles in side or rear yards,
- Requiring vehicles to be parked in a driveway or an approved parking surface,
- Allowing parking in side or rear yards, and
- Establishing habitation regulations governing recreational vehicles.
The Planning Board recommendation represents reasonable property performance standards.

Sandy,
Here’s my request for a budget amendment for public health. I have included a summary of the cuts from the
Health District, which I modified (see “Restored” column) to reflect the actions of lasts Tuesdays meeting. My
amendment will be for $81,520, which is $2 per person.
Thanks for adding this to list,
-Dave

To: Edmonds City Council
From: Steve Bernheim
Date: November 12, 2008
Re: Budget Proposals
I prefer to work from the mayor’s second budget alternative (no fire move, cuts sooner
than later). Most of my suggested budget cuts, spending increases, and revenue increases
do not depend on choosing any of the options.
BUDGET CUTS:
Cut spending for current City Council modest stipends by $5,000/year, primarily to
demonstrate that budget cuts mean budget cuts for everybody.
Cut City Attorney budget for City Council by $10,000/year.
Rescind from January 1, 2009 all Mayor’s salary increases and restore the Mayor’s salary
to what it was when he was elected. I support this budget cut because the Mayor and City
Council should be satisfied to pay the Mayor the salary he expected to receive when he
was elected. Comparisons to City Manager salaries for other cities do not apply because
the Mayor does not have a contract like a City Manager. I think this would save
$25,000/year.
Cut $10,000/year from Senior Center funding and rely on Senior Center membership to
replace lost funds with volunteer efforts.
Save $40,000 by cutting “Repair and Maintenance” budget for Mayor’s Department from
more than $90,000 to $50,000 (see page 21 of current budget book). In past years, this
item has been less than $40,000/year.
Cut Police Youth Services programs (see page 91 of budget book), saving $250,000/year.
Cut Police Traffic Enforcement expenses by $25,000 (see page 97 of proposed budget
book). Traffic enforcement is now budgeted at more than $500,000/year.
Eliminate City newsletter (I believe this would save about $20,000/year for composing,
production and mailing).
Transfer Municipal Court Services to South District, Snohomish County. If the Municipal
Court is not transferred to the County, cut expenses for Courtroom Security by
eliminating security for infraction proceedings. (I was unable to determine whether

security is currently provided to infraction proceedings. Courtroom security spends more
than $16,000 for 8 months so far this year. See professional services expenditure for
category 230.512.500.410.)
Eliminate Olympia and Washington, D.C. lobbying expenses (610.519.700.410), saving
about $80,000/year.
Adopt the Mayor’s “cut proposals” presented in option 2 for I.T. Equipment, new HR
Position .5 FTE, new City Clerk’s office position, new 2.5 FTE for I.T., new FT position
Finance Department, Reduce Legal Fees, eliminate Crime Prevention Program, eliminate
DARE program.
Cut $50,000 from Parks maintenance.
REVENUE INCREASES:
Enact $20/vehicle Transportation Benefit District for road maintenance or other high
priority transportation needs
Adopt low-rate transportation impact fee assessed on industrial and commercial
buildings. We have not heard any information on this option, so I do not know how much
revenue could be generated, but I would aim for $100,000 spread over all industrial and
commercial buildings in Edmonds so the impact on each industrial and commercial
building is manageable.
Adopt the utility tax increase proposed by the Mayor.
Adopt the CATV utility tax proposed by the Mayor.
Adopt business license fee increases proposed by the Mayor.
Adopt the EMS Transport User Fee increase proposed by the Mayor.
BUDGET INCREASES
Allocate $85,000 to County Health Department.
Hire full-time grants writer beginning January 1, 2010.
Continue Fibre Optic Cable project.

Community Service/Development Services Committee Meeting
November 10, 2008
Elected Officials Present: Staff Present:
Peggy Pritchard-Olson, Chair
D.J. Wilson, Councilmember
Rob Chave, Planning Manager
Brian McIntosh, Parks & recreation Director
The committee convened at 6:00 p.m.
A. Continued discussion on the Community Sustainability Element of the Comprehensive
Plan.
Rob Chave noted that the draft was similar to that distributed previously, with some changes to the
first page elaborating on the element’s role in linking long-term planning with strategic planning and
budgeting. The Committee discussed that it would be desirable to make these linkages even more
clear by adding supporting goals and policies elsewhere in the element. Councilmember Wilson
observed that he would like to see some information describing how the new emphasis on
sustainability would affect the direction and scope of the other comprehensive plan elements, and
what the Council could anticipate as it worked on updating each of the plan elements. It was agreed
that this would be helpful, as well as sketching out a potential timeline that would indicate mandated
plan updates as well as non-scheduled opportunities for plan revisions. With this information, the full
Council could discuss the Sustainability Element and how to approach integrating it with the rest of
the comprehensive plan.
ACTION: Staff to develop an issue outline and timeframe indicating how the sustainability
element could effect an overall update of the city’s comprehensive plan. This will be reviewed
at the next Committee meeting, and scheduled for further discussion by the full Council.
B. Park naming policy discussion.
Brian McIntosh reviewed how the last two parks in Edmonds were named in the early 1980’s
(Marina Beach Park and Olympic Beach Park) and noted that the City did not have a formal naming
policy in place. With one park now under construction and another scheduled to begin construction
in the new year, there is a need to adopt a fair procedure with public input for park naming. Staff
investigated the naming policies of several cities and found common procedures throughout. Staff
used these examples to propose a similar document for Edmonds. Staff recommended that the
proposed policy be presented to the Planning/Parks Board and the City Attorney for review and then
return a recommendation to the Council Consent Agenda. The Committee thought this was a proper
course of action..
ACTION: Staff to review the proposed park naming procedures with the Planning/Parks
Board and the City Attorney and return the recommendation to the Council Consent Agenda
at a later date.
The Committee meeting adjourned at 6:20 p.m.

Public Safety Committee Meeting
November 10, 2008
Committee Members Present: Council Member Steve Bernheim, Acting Chair
Council President Michael Plunkett
Staff Present: Assistant Police Chief Gerald Gannon
Animal Control Officer Debbie Dawson
Community Services Department Director
Stephen Clifton
Fire Chief Thomas J. Tomberg
Guests: Roger Hertrich
The meeting was called to order at 1800 hours.
A. Cat Licensing
Assistant Chief Gannon presented the committee with a brief history of cat licensing.
Further discussion covered the jurisdictions that have cat licensing, the reason for
the fee schedule, the ability to return cats to their owners with a license and a micro
chip, the two options of a two year or one year licensing period, and the effect on
staff time. He also advised that the recommended ordinances had been reviewed by
the City Attorney’s Office.
Mr. Bernheim asked questions regarding the impact on staff and what was
compliance level for dogs. Officer Dawson felt that with the two year license and
staggered licensing the impact would be minimal. Mr. Bernheim said his concern
was the fact that if there are an estimated 18,000 dogs in city and a little over 2500
were currently licensed where was the benefit to adding to more work to the staff.
He was concerned with the compliance of citizens to license their cats. Officer
Dawson explained that the purpose was to return the animals back to the owners.
She also said that the work can now be shared by three Ordinance Enforcement
Officers since we are at our authorized staffing levels.
Mr. Plunkett asked why we are recommending the low fee schedule considering
surrounding jurisdictions have higher fee schedule. Assistant Chief said that the
department felt the lower fee will encourage our citizens to license and micro chip
their cats. Officer Dawson concurred. She also said that the cost for materials was
covered by the fee schedule.
Assistant Chief Gannon also made note that EMC 5.05.025 would have to be
repealed if the cat licensing ordinance is passed by the full Council.
Mr. Bernheim said that he is in favor of the ordinance, but not at this time due to the
staffing work load. But, if it does go before the full Council he would favor the two
year licensing program.
Mr. Plunkett agreed with the two year option.
Packet Page 274 of 275
Action: Mr. Plunkett and Mr. Bernheim made no recommendation and asked that
Assistant Chief Gannon present the cat licensing ordinance to the full Council on
December 16, 2008.
B. City of Edmonds Disaster Recovery
City Disaster Recovery Coordinator Clifton reviewed the information contained in the
Public Safety Committee Agenda Memo (AM-1901) explaining the Disaster Recovery
Plan (DRP) developed by City staff and the Emergency Services Coordinating
Agency (ESCA); the make-up of the City DRP Task Force; and the various
appendices that constitute the plan.
In response to questions, staff identified ESCA as the consortium agency used by
nine contiguous southwest Snohomish County and two north King County
jurisdictions to coordinate disaster pre-planning, response, and recovery, and
develop comprehensive plans in support of each such as the DRP.
Staff confirmed that renewed emphasis on disaster preparedness, response and
recovery followed the 9-11 attack and the series of natural disaster that have swept
over the country in recent years.
The group discussed what constitutes a disaster. Generally speaking, a national,
gubernatorial, county, and/or city declaration of disaster, and/or opening the City
Emergency Operations Center (EOC) may be considered a disaster; however, staff
pointed out that citizens and property owners in the same community could
experience a “disaster” such as an earthquake or wind and rainstorm very differently.
Staff reiterated the importance of pre-event preparedness for any emergency event
to include having at least 72 hours of self-sustaining supplies, medications, etc.; the
availability of Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) for Edmonds
citizens available from ESCA; neighbor helping neighbor; and disaster public
education information available to the community via City Hall walk-in, the internet,
Channel 21, and ESCA.
ESCA Director Lyn Gross will be advised on November 12 that PS Committee
member Steve Bernheim may contact her with more questions about disaster
preparedness, response, recovery and the plans that support each mission.
Action: Disaster Recovery Plan Coordinator Clifton will prepare a December 16 Council
Agenda Memo and ordinance for Adoption of the Disaster Recovery Plan as a
discussion and action item.
Meeting adjourned at 1847 hours.
