Councilmember Dawson Announcement
Councilmember Dawson read a statement expressing her honor and pleasure of serving as a
Councilmember for the past seven years, and describing the challenges the City has faced during that
time. She announced her resignation from the Council effective December 31, 2008 to accept a position
in Washington, D.C. as the Director of Federal Courts Program for Justice at Stake, a nonprofit
organization devoted to keeping America's courts fair, impartial and independent. Justice at Stake
provides a national forum for strategic planning, policy research and analysis, media outreach, grassroots
education, coalition building and reform. She expressed her thanks to her family, friends, and supportive
husband. She further expressed her appreciation of the Council, staff, and the citizens of Edmonds who
honored her by allowing her to serve for seven years as their City Councilmember.
Councilmember Wilson expressed his appreciation for Councilmember Dawson’s comments, remarking
she would be missed. He recalled when she was elected in 2001 during the days of Brightwater,
estimating she was the brightest of any Councilmember who had served. He recognized Councilmember
Dawson’s commitment to the citizens and to the City and her sincere interest in public service.
Council President Plunkett announced a reception would be held in honor of Councilmember Dawson
prior to a future Council meeting.
3. ADOPT-A-DOG
Council President Plunkett remarked there were more strays recently due to the economy.
Charles Greenberg agreed the downturn in the economy had resulted in a more dire situation for many
pets. He thanked the Council for endorsing the Adopt-a-Dog program, noting some other communities
were not as receptive to the program. He introduced Sammy, a 9-10 year old Shepherd/Golden Retriever
mix. He described Sammy as laidback, extremely friendly, well behaved, playful, good with other pets,
walks well on a leash, very adaptable and loves car rides.
4. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Lora Petso, Edmonds, thanked Councilmember Dawson for her service. She offered to email
Councilmembers her slide presentation regarding the reduction in park levels of service. She recalled in
the 2001 park plan the goal was 0.95 acres of neighborhood parks per 1,000 population; the goal in the
proposed 2008 plan has been reduced to 0.71 acres per 1,000 population and similar reductions were
made for community parks, open space and special use areas. The revisions made to the 2008 Parks Plan
did not alter those reductions; adopting the 2008 Parks Plan would reduce park level of service standards
for the City. She referred to the minutes of the August 18 special Council meeting where the Council
stated they did not want to scale back their vision for parks and requested staff provide a comparison of
where the plan was scaled back from the prior plan. She questioned whether that had been accomplished
and requested a copy. She also requested the following: the previously referenced level of service
standards be restored to 2001 language, restore the pool language, restore language regarding ILA for
park use at Sherwood Park, restore the description of neighborhood parks as 5 acres each rather than 2
Packet Page 7 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 25, 2008
Page 3
acres, restore the service area for community parks at 1-2 miles rather than 2-5 miles, use REET revenue
for park acquisitions, and plan park acquisitions in order to obtain State grant funds. She objected to the
proposed Plan which reflected service reductions and no planned park acquisitions. She summarized
closing Yost Pool was never the answer to the budget problem as it generated over $129,000/year in fees.
If that was not enough, she recommended raising the fees rather than closing the pool.
George Everett, Edmonds, recalled on November 10, 2001 George W. Bush urged the public to speak
the truth about terror and not tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September
11. Mr. Everett noted by that time the Bush administration and the media had already created and
propagated the most outrageous conspiracy theory of all; that Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda and 19 Arabs
planned and carried out the attacks of 9/11. And to solve that erroneous problem, war was declared on
terrorism, Afghanistan was attacked, Iraq was invaded, the Patriot Act passed, airport security tightened,
and the Department of Homeland Security was created. He invited the public to learn more via a program
aired on channel 77 on Thursdays at 11:00 a.m. and Fridays at 10:00 a.m. He also encouraged the public
to visit AE911truth.org and firefightersfor911truth.org and sign their petition calling for an investigation.
Quotes from various leaders were available on patriotsquestion911.com.
Tom Schutte, Edmonds, commented Yost Pool provided a variety of aquatic programs for all ages. He
identified five members of the Wolf Pack, a masters group that swim at Yost Pool. He commented on the
importance of an outdoor aquatic facility where young people can learn to swim and urged the Council to
retain Yost Pool as a permanent fixture in Edmonds, an area surrounded by water where aquatic safety
skills, lessons and other programs for youth were life skills.
Rowena Miller, Edmonds, remarked Washington DC was lucky to get Councilmember Dawson. She
urged Council to keep Yost Pool open, commenting it provided recreation, physical and mental health for
citizens of all ages and gave Edmonds citizens a unique opportunity to swim outdoors in a natural setting
unpolluted by traffic. In difficult economic times, nearby, easily accessible, relatively inexpensive
recreation was especially important. To the comment that Yost Pool did not pay for itself, she noted a
city’s business was to provide services. Services such as parks, recreation, libraries, art events, gardens,
flowers, museums, etc. seldom paid for themselves but created a quality community. Observing that
voters were doing their part by paying higher property taxes, higher vehicle license fees, and higher water
and sewer utility taxes, she asked Council to do their part by identifying creative cost savings. She
suggested using funds in Fund 125 for pool repairs to keep Yost Pool open. She invited audience
members attending tonight’s meeting in support of Yost Pool to stand. She concluded Yost Pool was a
valuable City asset, a jewel and treasure of the community and urged the Council to keep it open.
Jeff Draper, Edmonds, spoke in support of Yost Pool and provided four reasons for keeping the pool
open, 1) the swim team is always full, 2) swim classes are always full, 3) it creates entry-level jobs and
training for young people in the community, and 4) it is an amenity that increases property values thereby
increasing City revenue.
Jan Kavadas, Edmonds, a competitive swimmer who swims at Yost Pool in the summer and elsewhere
the remainder of the year, expressed concern that limited maintenance by closing Yost Pool for 1-2 years
would lead to its early demise. She swam at Yost Pool during the summer due to the availability of a 3-
hour lap swim on Saturday and Sunday mornings, because it is 80% closer to her home than the pool
where she swims the rest of the year, and because it is possible to take the bus from her home to the pool.
She recommended keeping Yost Pool open as long as possible, noting there has been support expressed
for replacing the pool.
Julie Perrine, Edmonds, commented her family used Yost Pool and Yost Park a great deal and enjoyed
seeing the children from day camps at Frances Anderson Center swim at Yost Pool. She referred to
Packet Page 8 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 25, 2008
Page 4
options for budget cuts that included eliminating the Crime Prevention and DARE programs, commenting
eliminating programs made providing a safe, family-friendly, wholesome place like the pool even more
important. She urged the Council to never close Yost Pool. She also recognized the importance of the
Discovery Program in teaching children to be good stewards of the land.
Betty Larman, Edmonds, speaking on behalf of several Garden Club members, noted that Edmonds
Floretum Garden Club member Rachel Sedgefield started the flower basket program in 1960 in
conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the beaches, the flower baskets were one of
the main attractions for visitors, and an Edmonds trademark. She was astounded the Council was
considering eliminating that program to satisfy a financial shortfall and recommended the Council
capitalize on this asset and consider ways to reduce City maintenance such as planting perennials in
corner flowerbeds, have businesses or private citizens adopt corner gardens, and/or hold contests for the
most beautiful corner. She remarked in difficult economic times, people likely will travel less and it was
important to make Edmonds a destination place. Next, she expressed concern that the Council authorized
$60,000 for an aquatics feasibility study rather than using those funds to maintain Yost Pool. She urged
the Council to retain the flower program and encouraged community members, businesses and members
of the Garden Club and Chamber of Commerce to work with the City to keep Edmonds beautiful.
Nancy Hopper, Edmonds, spoke in support of Yost Pool, pointing out this outdoor jewel was an asset to
the community, unlike any pool in surrounding communities. She asked the Council to use the taxpayers’
money responsibly and to keep Yost Pool open.
Wendy Harrison, Edmonds, spoke in favor of keeping Yost Pool at its current location. Her family uses
the pool nearly daily in the summer, her sons are on the swim team and she swims laps regularly. The
pool’s unique location within a neighborhood, away from traffic, created a safe place for kids to meet
friends and allowed kids some independence. They recently joined the YMCA but its location on Hwy.
99 did not allow their children to reach the pool on their own.
Josie Tilbury, Edmonds, a seventh grader, provided a petition signed by people who do not want Yost
Pool to be closed. She explained Yost Pool was a safe place for kids to go in the summer and many
adults have fond childhood memories of the pool. She summarized all the activities at the pool would be
lost if the pool were closed.
Alex Walker, Edmonds, recalled childhood memories of Yost Pool, ten years on the swim team,
swimming with friends, and as a lifeguard for the past two summers. She commented on the Yost
community; from the dedicated lap swimmers to beginning swimmers, Yost was a place for everyone.
Her mom grew up swimming at Yost and has shared that with her family, the case for many Edmonds
families. She urged Council to consider other options for budget cuts and to keep Yost Pool open. It is a
part of Edmonds’ history and a positive influence on the community that promotes a healthier lifestyle.
Dick Van Hollebeke, Edmonds, congratulated Councilmember Dawson on her decision, commenting it
had been the community’s great privilege to have her on the Council. He spoke in support of Yost Pool,
noting as evidenced by the comments of many, the pool had great meaning for members of the
community. A member of the consultant team for the aquatic study, he relayed the consultants’ awe of
Yost Pool and its setting. He noted many other municipalities were asking their staff via renegotiating
union contracts for ten days of unpaid leave throughout the next year. He estimated this would result in
an approximately $1 million savings for Edmonds. Another possible funding source was selling the fiber
optics strands. He commented Yost Pool was special to him; when he turned 50, he swam 50 laps in
under 50 minutes. This August, the 20th anniversary of that feat, he planned to swim 70 laps in less than
70 minutes.

Monda Van Hollebeke, Edmonds, commented she and her husband used Yost Pool daily in the summer.
She urged the Council to be creative and forward thinking, referring to the availability of federal funds for
infrastructure as part of the stimulus plan.
Jody Daniel, Edmonds, agreed with everything that had been said about Yost Pool.
Quinn Jackson, Edmonds, commented he had been going to Yost Pool for 12 years, beginning with
swim lessons when he was 2 years old, later swimming on the swim team and hanging out with friends.
He urged the Council to keep the pool open so that he could swim 70 laps when he was 70 years old.
Art Stamey, Edmonds, expressed his support for Yost Pool.
Janice Stamey, Edmonds, expressed her support for Yost Pool.
Scott Schafer, Edmonds, father of two sons who spend a great deal of time at Yost Pool, echoed the
request of previous speakers to keep the pool open.
Mary Carlson, Edmonds, spoke in support of keeping Yost Pool open, commenting Yost Pool was one
of the amenities she highlighted for visitors.
Tan Aksel, Yost Pool Swim Team Boosters, relayed 200 youth participate on the swim team, competing
against other teams in the area. The Edmonds-Woodway High School swim team practices at Yost Pool
and local schools bring classes to the pool for field trips. She noted parents line up at 5:00 a.m. to register
for swim team registration that opens at 8:00 a.m. which illustrates the need and desire for that program.
Thom Jackson, Edmonds, a member of the Yost Penguin swim team from 1975 - 1980, commented the
pool held many memories for him. After college, he returned to Edmonds and purchased a house two
minutes away from Yost Pool because the pool was one of the things that made Edmonds a great place to
live. He urged the Council to keep the pool open.
Brett Miller, Edmonds, expressed his support for keeping Yost Pool open. He suggested consideration
be given to raising the fees at Yost Pool.
Ashlie Bissell, Edmonds, an eighth grader, commented she visits Yost Pool daily during the summer, has
been on the swim team for three years, has made many good friends there, gets a lot of exercise and it’s a
great place to hang out with friends. She urged the Council to keep the pool open.
John Bissell, Edmonds, commented both Ashlie and Joseph participated in the Yost swim team since
they were old enough and before that they were in swim lessons. He remarked on the beautiful setting of
Yost Pool, relaying he saw an eagle in the branches overlooking the pool last summer. The pool is what
distinguishes Edmonds from other communities and is the reason many people live in Edmonds. Because
of the current difficult economy, he anticipated fewer Edmonds residents would be vacationing elsewhere
and more would be enjoying the amenities of Edmonds. He referred to layoffs in Snohomish and King
Counties and the King County’s 10 day furlough, whereas Edmonds’ budget included salary increases.
He estimated if Edmonds instituted a 10-day furlough for its employees, the City could save $1.5 million
in 2009 which would fund both Yost Pool and the flower baskets.
Joseph Bissell, Edmonds, commented he enjoyed visiting Yost Pool every summer and he would be
disappointed if the pool were closed. He noted the pool provided exercise for kids and was a place for
kids to get away by themselves.

Luke Bissell, Edmonds, urged the Council to keep Yost Pool open.
Isabella Rohani, Edmonds, a sixth grader, commented Yost Pool had been her life since she was two
years old. She provided four reasons for keeping the pool open, 1) it affects the economy - home values
will decrease if the pool is closed, 2) there are no other outdoor public pools and the air inside indoor
pools is terrible, 3) the pool is loved by everyone in the community and closing the pool would eliminate
lifeguard jobs, and 4) construction of a new pool would disturb the wildlife in the park.
Dave Page, Edmonds, thanked Councilmember Dawson for her service. He commented less than 20%
of the taxes paid by citizens were used to support the City. The City made the best use of taxpayers’
money; the average federal employee earned 2.2 times as much as the average local employee. He urged
citizens to support any additional tax that would be used to support City services.
Roger Hertrich, Edmonds, expressed support for Yost Pool. He expressed appreciation for
Councilmember Dawson’s efforts and wished her good luck. Next, he relayed his children began
swimming at Yost Pool, participated on swim teams and his daughter managed the pool, summarizing
participating in activities at Yost Pool built character. He recalled when the pool was constructed citizens
did not support a cover and later efforts to cover the pool also failed. He pointed out the public’s outcry
illustrated the importance of Yost Pool to the community; few other programs would result in such a
response other than possibly eliminating the Senior Center or the flower program. He suggested the
Council determine how to keep Yost Pool open.
Don Hall, Edmonds, urged the Council to keep the pool open. He encouraged the public to generate tax
revenue for the City by shopping in Edmonds rather than at the malls. He highlighted the annual
Christmas Tree lighting this Saturday, gift wrapping at Coldwell Banker Bain by the Edmonds-Woodway
High School DECA this Friday and Saturday in exchange for a food or cash donation to the local food
bank, and the First Dibs event on Thursday, December 4 where downtown merchants will offer specials
and refreshments. He urged citizens to shop locally to generate revenue for merchants and the City.
Camille Perrine, Edmonds, commented her family looks forward to the Championship Belly Flop
Contest at Yost Pool every year.
Natalie, Edmonds, commented she has a lot of fun with friends at Yost Pool every year.
Kate Mooney, Edmonds, wanted Yost Pool to stay open because she goes to swim lessons there every
summer.
Jim Hills, Edmonds, expressed support for Yost Pool. As the President of the Edmonds Chamber of
Commerce, representing its 400 members, he also expressed support for the two proposed amendments
that provided increased funding for economic development. He referred to a comment made by the
Director of the State Office of Financial Management that in a State such as Washington where revenue is
based on transactions, the way to prosperity was not via cuts. The Chamber of Commerce supports,
organizes and funds some of the most iconic events in the City including the Taste of Edmonds, the
annual car show, Halloween, and the Tree lighting ceremony. The Chamber also created the
EverythingEdmonds.com website dedicated to supporting the City, its businesses and economic
development; performs the welcome to new businesses; conducts ribbon cutting ceremonies, etc. The
Chamber recently reviewed its draft budget and all the above events were considered for cuts. He
encouraged the Council to support the Chambers’ economic development efforts.
It was the consensus of the Council to reorder the agenda to discuss the budget workshop next.

5. WORKSHOP ON 2009-2010 BUDGET; REVIEW AND DISCUSSION ON POTENTIAL
AMENDMENTS AND POTENTIAL COUNCIL DIRECTION ON A BUDGET OPTION.
Council President Plunkett anticipated the Council would adopt the budget at the December 2 meeting.
Tonight was continued presentation and discussion of budget amendments. He requested after the
Council discussed the proposed amendments, they provide direction to staff regarding a budget option.
He explained Option 2 called for over $1 million in cuts in 2009 including the Crime Prevention program,
the DARE program, a planner position, an engineering tech position, park maintenance and Yost Pool.
Option 3 has $486,000 in cuts but does not cut DARE, the planning position, the engineering tech
position, reduce park maintenance or close Yost Pool in 2009 but moves those cuts to 2010, leaving 2009
for the Council to look for solutions, opportunities and possibilities with regard to those cuts.
Mayor Haakenson recapped the budget options: Option 1 is the original budget, Option 2 is cuts
proposed in 2009 and 2010 and Option 3 moves the cuts to 2010 and 2011 giving the City Council 2009
to find a longer term solution to avoid the cuts in 2010 and 2011.
Councilmember Bernheim referred to Option 2, noting with the cuts proposed and the tax increases the
Council already passed, there was an ending fund balance of $1.5 million from 2009 forward. Finance
Director Kathleen Junglov agreed, pointing out the fund balance begins dropping in 2013 and 2014.
Councilmember Bernheim noted in Option 2, without the cuts there was an ending fund balance in 2009
of $1 million and $1.3 million in 2010. Mayor Haakenson clarified that was Option 3, pushing the cuts
off 2 years. He pointed out cuts needed to be made in either 2009 or 2010 unless a long term solution to
the revenue problem was identified. He noted the ending fund balance of $1 million should be $3 million.
He urged the Council not just to look at 2009, 2010 and 2011 but look ahead to 2013 and 2014 so that the
City was not in this same position in five years. He envisioned once the Council selected a budget option
and decided what they wanted to cut and/or add, staff could identify the impact of those cuts/additions.
Councilmember Bernheim commented he had been struggling to identify $10,000 in cuts such as cutting
funding to the Senior Center but after reviewing the ending fund balances, he was uncertain that small
cuts were valuable, particularly when Councilmembers were proposing additions to the budget.
Councilmember Dawson commented a $10,000 expense that did not increase over time was different than
an addition that increased such as employees who received COLAs and whose insurance costs increased.
Councilmember Wambolt commented when he joined the Council, he did not understand ending cash
balances, a process that allows cities to carry a balance from one year to the next which is not done in
private business. He learned the Council had not done a good job with the ending balance in the past, a
situation he took some responsibility for as a member of the Finance Committee. He explained the City’s
ending balance had dropped considerably, $3 million in 2008 and $2 million in 2007. He summarized the
City’s ending balances were historically low. Snohomish County’s goal was to have 10-11% of their
general operating expenses as an ending balance; Edmonds was nowhere near that amount; 10-11%
would require an ending balance of $3 million. He urged the Council not to spend any of the ending
balance and to increase the ending balance wherever possible.
Councilmember Wilson agreed the issue was not $10,000 here or there, it was how to generate the
revenue to pay for basic services to be the type of city the Council and its citizens wanted Edmonds to be.
In previous years the Council has adopted budgets that were nearly 10% in deficit. For example in 2008,
revenue collected was $30.5 million and total expenses were $33.3 million resulting in a deficit of $2.8
million. He concluded the City was not just now in a difficult position but had been in a difficult position
due to Eyman initiatives that limited cities’ ability to increase taxes. He noted the Council had already
voted to increase taxes as much as they could as well as increased fees a significant amount, yet did not

Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 25, 2008
Page 8
have enough money to pay for the basic services the City currently provides. He noted cuts of $10,000 or
even $100,000 did not solve the real problem of ensuring revenues matched expenses.
Councilmember Wilson explained this could only be resolved via a major commitment to stop providing
basic services such as fire, Yost Pool and Crime Prevention or a commitment to find new revenue. He
concluded the only way to generate additional revenue was for the Council to reach a consensus on a
method and to sell it to the voters.
Mayor Haakenson summarized the amendments suggested last week:
• Add funding for the Snohomish Health District ($81,000)
• Cut the City Attorney’s Budget ($10,000)
• Cut Senior Center funding ($10,000)
• Cut Youth Services ($250,000)
• Cut traffic enforcement ($25,000)
• Cut city newsletter ($20,000)
• Cut Olympia and Washington DC lobbying expenses ($80,000)
• Cut parks maintenance ($50,000 instead of $500,000)
The following amendments were suggested by Councilmember Wilson:
Increase economic development advertising ($25,000)
Councilmember Wilson explained this built on the Option 1 budget and would support economic
development in the community and leverage dollars spent by the Chamber and other entities. He referred
to the importance of advertising to attract people attending the 2010 Winter Olympics to Edmonds.
Advertising was important due to Edmonds’ distance from I-5 and to attract ferry riders who may not be
aware of all Edmonds has to offer. He used the analogy of a person in a boat with a storm approaching;
the last thing they would do was pull in their oars and wait for the storm to blow over. When a storm
came, the proper thing to do was point the bow and row hard.
Council President Plunkett inquired about the funding source for the additional $25,000. Councilmember
Wilson suggested the ending fund balance, noting Option 1 had an ending fund balance in 2009 of $1.092
million, Option 2 had an ending fund balance of $1.8 million and Option 3 had $1.3 million. He
commented there were bigger issues facing the Council than identifying $25,000 as he envisioned it
would be necessary to seek voter approval of a levy increase in the near future. He pointed out the
importance of determining what kind of city to be and then determine how to pay for it. Mayor
Haakenson asked if funding for all the amendments Councilmember Wilson would propose would be
from ending cash balance. Councilmember Wilson agreed that would be the funding source.
Increase economic development professional services for Business Improvement District ($60,000)
Councilmember Wilson explained a Business Improvement District (BID) was a local improvement
district where a jurisdiction within the City such as the BD1 zone taxed themselves to fund projects via a
vote of the members of the district. Election costs were estimated at $40,000-$80,000; the proposed
$60,000 was a placeholder to assist with that effort and to move the City’s expenditure on economic
development to the Chamber or other group in the future.
Councilmember Bernheim asked who would vote in an election to form a BID. Councilmember Wilson
stated over the next year the City and Chamber could consider this option and if they chose to move
forward with an election, there would be funds in the budget to assist with that effort. The Chamber and
Downtown Edmonds Merchants Association have expressed interest but it was unknown how a district
would be formed. He envisioned the voters in such an election would be the members of the district.
Packet Page 13 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 25, 2008
Page 9
Councilmember Bernheim commented the cost of a citywide election was $60,000-$80,000 and
questioned why the election costs were so high for 300-400 voters. He also asked whether the election
could be combined with other issues such as a parks levy, Antique Mall redevelopment, a pool, the
Regional Fire Authority, etc. Councilmember Wilson commented until the size of the district was
determined, the cost of the election could not be accurately estimated. The remainder of the funds
budgeted would remain in the ending balance. He acknowledged the cost could be reduced if other issues
were included in the election. He noted this provided an incentive for local merchants to tax themselves
for projects they wanted. Via the formation of a BID, the local merchants could determine their own tax
structure and how the funds would be spent.
Councilmember Wambolt agreed the City needed more revenue but questioned the advisability of
increasing property taxes. He referred to the analysis staff provided regarding Edmonds’ tax rate:
$8/$1000 in Edmonds, $8.21/$1000 in Lynnwood, $9.55/$1000 in Everett and $7.98/$1000 in Mountlake
Terrace. However, property in Edmonds had a much higher value; the average home value in Edmonds
was $461,500 compared to $308,900 in Lynnwood, $290,000 in Mountlake Terrace and $286,000 in
Everett. He summarized the average homeowner in Edmonds paid 59% more in property taxes than in
Mountlake Terrace, 46% more than in Lynnwood, and 35% more than in Everett.
Councilmember Wambolt stated it would be difficult to ask citizens to contribute more in property taxes
when they were already paying that level of taxes. He recommended identifying other sources of revenue
such as economic development, noting there may be areas that would need to be redeveloped, heights
increased to 3-4 floors, etc. He did not support asking homeowners to pay increased property taxes.
Council President Plunkett asked if an area interested in an LID first formed the LID and then determined
election costs. Ms. Junglov recalled a BID formed in Everett used a process similar to an LID where the
property owners in an area agreed to an annual assessment. She recalled it was only in place for 3-4
years. Council President Plunkett recalled signatures from property owners in the area were obtained to
create the LID which also determined the election cost. Ms. Junglov explained there was not an election
for the formation of the BID in Everett, only a petition process to form the LID. Council President
Plunkett suggested if the businesses in the downtown core wanted to tax themselves they could do so via
petition which would cost the City very little other than administrative costs.
Councilmember Wilson disagreed Edmonds property owners paid 59% more in property taxes than
Mountlake Terrace property owners; the property tax rate in Edmonds was lower than nearly every other
city in Snohomish County. Councilmember Wambolt reiterated the rate may be lower but the median
home price in Edmonds was much higher.
Increase Mayor’s travel budget for Washington, DC travel ($6,000)
Councilmember Wilson commented all the options cut $36,000 from the federal lobbying contract. He
suggested including funds in the budget to send Mayor Haakenson to Washington DC to lobby on the
City’s behalf particularly when members of the local delegation were responsible for the Transportation
Budget and the Appropriation of the Interior Budget. Mayor Haakenson asked how much the Mayor’s
transportation budget was. Councilmember Wilson answered $4,100. Councilmember Wilson explained
the proposed addition would fund two trips for the Mayor and one other person at $1500 each.
Increase Council travel budget for Washington DC travel ($2,500)
Councilmember Wilson explained this would provide funding for two Councilmembers to travel to
Washington DC once a year to lobby on the City’s behalf. He noted cities that did not travel to
Washington DC were not considered serious and it was more difficult to obtain funding.

Increase Human Resources professional services to explore self-funding health insurance 2009 ($40,000)
Councilmember Wilson explained benefit plan changes were coming and the proposed amendment would
fund a consultant. He commented the City had very rich healthcare benefits, most of which was not
utilized by City employees. When the benefits were not utilized, the City did not reap the rewards, the
insurance company did. The current AWC plan will be eliminated January 1, 2012 and the City must
have another plan in place by then. The proposed amendment would fund a consultant to analyze how to
replace the current benefit plan.
Council President Plunkett observed Human Resources staff did not include funds in the budget to hire a
consultant although they knew this was forthcoming. He asked whether funding for a consultant was
necessary and if so, why staff did not included it in the budget. Human Resources Manager Debi
Humann explained the plan was to form a labor management organization with employees to find out
their health insurance needs and what they wanted. She clarified both the AWC plans were being
eliminated. She noted an option was to wait and see what AWC proposed; it was her understanding all
the new plans would have preventative healthcare, a feature many employees wanted. Another option
was to research the marketplace. She agreed she would not have time to do that work and assumed the
City would hire a broker. She concluded the $100,000 cost seemed very high.
Council President Plunkett asked if Human Resources had a plan of action. Ms. Humann answered staff
first plans to wait to see what AWC proposes. She has been attending regional HR Director meetings
where this issue has been discussed. Another option may be to form a consortium of cities. She viewed
any action now as premature because it was unknown what AWC would offer to replace the two existing
plans. Council President Plunkett summarized Human Resources staff was developing a strategy and
would bring it to the Council in the future regarding how to address this issue.
Council President Plunkett asked whether Ms. Humann’s strategy was separate from this amendment.
Ms. Humann answered she had not been consulted regarding this amendment.
Councilmember Wilson recalled former Administrative Services Director Dan Clements, Ms. Humann
and he met earlier this year and it was clearly based on their comments that the City lacked the expertise
for this effort and that there was inadequate staffing in the HR Department for this effort. He relayed it
made sense for companies over 50 employees to self insure and all large companies such as Boeing self
insured. Via self insurance, companies were able to provide the same benefits and achieve savings of up
to 50%. Therefore it was appropriate for the City, with its 250+ employees, to consider self insurance.
He commented he did not consult Ms. Humann, assuming she wanted help with this process.
Mayor Haakenson pointed out his original budget included 0.5 FTE in Human Resources to work on
projects such as this, half the $100,000 cost of a consultant. He noted an alternative would be to fund the
0.5 FTE in the Human Resources Department. Councilmember Wilson responded based on Mr.
Clements’ and Ms. Humann’s comments, he did not believe Human Resources staff had the skill set for
this effort. Mayor Haakenson concluded if staff wanted $100,000 for this, it would have been requested
in the budget.
Increase Human Resources professional services to explore self-funding health insurance 2010 ($60,000)
See above.
Fully fund Crime Prevention
Councilmember Wilson commented this amendment assumed the Council chose Option 2 or 3. He did
not want to decrease crime prevention as crime often increased in times of economic difficulty.
Packet Page 15 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 25, 2008
Page 11
Council President Plunkett asked whether Option 1 was predicated on the successful formation of a
Regional Fire Authority (RFA). Mayor Haakenson answered Option 1 did not include any cuts and was
based on a vote of the people two years in the future for an additional revenue source which could be a
RFA, a parks levy, or property tax levy lid lift.
Councilmember Dawson commented Options 1 and 3 were identical because Option 1 had no cuts in the
first year and anticipated a revenue source in the second year. Option 3 made no cuts in 2009 with the
Council working toward revenue sources but identifies cuts that would be made if a revenue source was
not approved. If the Council wanted to pursue Option 1, it would be preferable to do a one year budget.
Councilmember Wambolt commented a RFA would have no effect in 2009 or 2010; if approved it would
not have an effect until 2011.
Councilmember Dawson pointed out without a tax option in the next 1-3 years, cuts needed to be made
now because it would be impossible to make deep enough cuts if no cuts were made for 3 years. She
summarized it was necessary to either make cuts now or anticipate a new revenue stream, whether that
was a RFA, parks levy, general levy, remarkable economic development, etc.
Fully fund aquatics
If the Council pursued Options 2 or 3, Councilmember Wilson planned to propose this amendment to
ensure Yost Pool remained open.
Fully fund Discovery Program
Councilmember Wilson pointed out this was not an issue if the Council pursued Option 1. He pointed out
programs such as Discover the Forest, Puget Sound BirdFest, public beach cleanups, Beach Ranger, and
Watershed Fun Fair that draw people into Edmonds cost approximately $56,000.
Fully fund parks maintenance programs
Councilmember Wilson noted this was not an issue if the Council pursued budget Option 1. If the
Council pursued Option 2, in which this cut was proposed in 2010 or Option 3 which assumes this cut in
2011, he would propose this amendment in order to keep the City’s 31 neighborhood parks.
Councilmember Wilson agreed Option 1 and 3 were very similar; Option 1 assumed no cuts and a new
revenue source and Option 3 assumed identified cuts that would be necessary absent an additional
revenue source.
The following amendment was suggested by Council President Plunkett:
Reduce Council travel budget due to retreat being held in Edmonds ($1,600)
Council President Plunkett explained this amendment would reduce the Council travel budget from
$4,100 to $2,500. Sufficient funds would remain in the Council travel budget for travel to the AWC
meetings and workshops, Snohomish County cities meetings, etc.
Mayor Haakenson declared a brief recess.
Council President Plunkett briefly reviewed the Council’s schedule for adoption of the budget,
anticipating the budget would be adopted December 2. He noted this was an unprecedented economic
situation, and the Council has never adopted a budget in a time of so much economic uncertainty. For
that reason, Mayor Haakenson created three budget options. He noted some amendments may be
applicable depending on the budget option that was selected. He pointed on the numerous public hearings
and workshops that had been held regarding the budget, noting another public hearing was scheduled at
Packet Page 16 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 25, 2008
Page 12
next week’s Council meeting. He suggested the Council discuss the budget options and provide direction
to staff to prepare the documents for one of the options.
Councilmember Wambolt suggested the Council discuss limiting the budget to one year.
Councilmember Bernheim anticipated revenues would be lower than projected and expenditures would be
higher than budgeted. He noted by adopting a 2-year budget, the Council did not have to spend 3½
months next year on this same process. He did not support Option 3 which basically said the City could
get by next year if the Council spent the year figuring out what to do.
Councilmember Wilson recalled he spoke in favor of a 1-year budget previously for the reasons
Councilmember Bernheim outlined. However, he was increasingly concerned that with at least three
elections next year, it was unlikely the Council would get anything accomplished next year. He noted one
of the values of a 2-year budget was it committed the Council to a particular path. One of the values of
Option 3, which he did not support, was it identified the cuts that would be made if another revenue
source was not identified.
Councilmember Wambolt anticipated the cuts identified in Option 3 would be necessary because
revenues were likely to be lower and expenditures could be higher. He suggested pursuing Option 3 but
only for 2009.
Councilmember Dawson commented she was in an odd position because she would not be on the Council
next year. Option 3 put the public on notice that these cuts would be necessary if changes were not made.
She saw little difference between Options 3 and 1 or simply adopting a 1-year budget. She noted the
advantage of a biennial budget was it made it easier the second year because only tweaks were necessary.
Unless the Council was ready to commit to the cuts in Option 3, she suggested the Council adopt a 1-year
budget. She viewed Option 1 as “head-in-the-sand” and if the Council was not ready to commit to cuts
and was not sure how additional revenue would be generated, she felt a 1-year budget was preferable.
She concluded she would concur with the majority of the Council because she would not be here to make
those difficult decisions next year, to raise taxes or cut services. She suggested a 1-year budget was the
most intellectually honest option.
Councilmember Orvis commented if the Council selected Option 1, he would make amendments to add
some of the cuts described in Option 3 and if the Council selected Option 3, he would make amendments
to remove some of the cuts. He agreed the Council needed a starting point and he was amenable to
starting with either Option 1 or Option 3 and possibly making an amendment for a 1-year budget.
Council President Plunkett commented the Council could not adopt a budget subject to the voters
endorsing an additional revenue source. He did not find Option 3 intellectually dishonest, pointing out it
identified $486,000 in cuts in 2009 and if the voters did not support additional revenue, there would be $1
million in cuts in 2010. He noted Option 3 built the case for asking the voters for their assistance in the
future. If they were unwilling, nearly $1 million in cuts would be made. He summarized Option 3
identified the future; it would get tough and the assistance of the voters was needed.
Councilmember Wilson commented Options 2 and 3 were not the answer because he was unwilling to
support a budget that closed Yost Pool, foresees the closure of 31 neighborhood parks, eliminates the
DARE program, Beach Rangers, etc., all the things that made Edmonds the great community that it is.
He supported starting with Option 1, funding the current level of service, allow for cuts already planned
such as not filling vacant positions and add cuts as the Council deems appropriate. In response to the
comments regarding intellectual honesty, he pointed out the previous Council adopted a 2008 budget with
Packet Page 17 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 25, 2008
Page 13
a $2.5 million deficit via the use of reserves. He did not find it fair that the Council now wanted to make
draconian cuts.
Councilmember Wilson suggested the Council determine the level of service it wanted to provide and go
to the public for a new revenue source. He noted the 2008 budget assumed an EMS levy would be
approved and if it had not passed, that the budget situation would be significantly worse. He suggested
starting with Option 1 and make cuts as the Council chose. He noted another reason a 1-year budget and
Option 3 were not appropriate was it would make it increasingly difficult to hire employees if the budget
only included funding for positions for one year. He commented the revenue work group discussed a
revenue bond and Finance staff indicated they had so many priorities it would be difficult to work on a
bond with five employees in the Finance Department and two vacancies.
Council President Plunkett suggested the Council could begin with Option 3 and make amendments that
funded the DARE program, Yost Pool, etc.
Councilmember Dawson commented Option 3 would be an honest option if the Council committed to
making those cuts if another revenue source was not approved by the voters. Unless the Council was
prepared to make those cuts or other cuts that added up to those amounts, she felt they were being
dishonest to the public. Adopting a status quo 2-year budget that did not identify how cuts would be
made in the future was a distinction without a difference to adopting a 1-year budget. Another option
would be for the Council to adopt a budget with a budget note that stated a ballot measure was anticipated
as part of the plan for 2009. She spoke in favor of being honest with the public, that either draconian cuts
would be made to services or that new revenue sources must be identified. It was not fair to say cuts
would be necessary but cuts would not be made to the parks, Yost Pool, the Police Department, the Fire
Department because unless new revenue was identified, cuts to those programs would be necessary. She
appreciated the Mayor identifying cuts that would be necessary unless new revenues were identified.
Councilmember Wambolt pointed out the City had adopted 1-year budgets in the past; it was not
necessary to adopt a 2-year budget to hire employees. He cautioned against using the 2007/2008 budget
as a benchmark, noting it was not a standard of excellence and should not have been adopted with a
deficit. With regard to the three options, he pointed out Mayor Haakenson presented one budget and the
Council asked him to identify potential cuts that could be made. He disagreed with the Council
proceeding with Option 1 after that exercise.
Councilmember Orvis emphasized the need to find a starting point and then make amendments. He
suggested Option 1 as a starting point and Councilmembers make amendments to incorporate additional
cuts.
Councilmember Bernheim expressed support for Option 2 as it made the most immediate cuts and forced
the Council to prioritize programs. As an example, he did not find the DARE Program the highest
priority for the City’s limited funds; preferring programs like Yost Pool as a home-grown DARE
program. He agreed with the proposal not to hire new employees, preferring to get by for another two
years. In an increasingly poor economy, he anticipated fewer employees would leave the City.
Student Representative Warren preferred Option 3, finding it best to consider the worst scenario; to
identify cuts that would be necessary if another revenue source was not identified. He also supported a 1-
year budget and postponing the elimination of the Crime Prevention Program as increased crime could
lead to additional expenditures in the Police Department. He found Option 1 fiscally irresponsible as it
anticipated the RFA would be approved and in 2010 the ending fund balance was only $187,648.

Councilmember Dawson recalled the reason the Council chose not to take action on the budget tonight
was because one Councilmember was not here.
COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON,
NOT TO APPROVE OPTION 2.
Councilmember Wilson commented Councilmember Olson was unlikely to be upset if the Council made
progress tonight. He had anticipated the Council would give direction regarding an option tonight.
MOTION CARRIED (5-1), COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM OPPOSED.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, TO
GIVE STAFF DIRECTION TO START WITH OPTION 1.
Councilmember Bernheim commented he could support starting with Option 1 and Councilmembers
could propose amendments for cuts and additions.
Councilmember Dawson commented what was really being proposed was Option 3 with the potential for
a 1-year budget. The difference between Option 1 and 3 is that Option 3 has some cuts in 2009 and
Option 1 does not have any cuts in 2009. She noted Option 1 was simply taking the Mayor’s budget and
adding and deleting things which was the normal budget process. She was comfortable with that process
as long as significant cuts were made in the 2010 budget.
Councilmember Wilson suggested next week the Council consider a resolution committing themselves to
a ballot measure on a date certain or cuts to avoid a ballot measure.
Councilmember Bernheim did not support Option 1 if it presumed approval of an RFA. Councilmember
Wilson agreed he would not support Option 1 if it assumed an RFA. He learned via discussions with staff
that although Option 1 referred to an RFA, it actually assumed some other revenue option which may be a
levy or an RFA. He assured Option 1 did not assume the new funding option would be a RFA. Mayor
Haakenson suggested the Council simply state Option 1 with a new revenue source, either a RFA, parks
levy, levy lid lift or other source.
Councilmember Dawson clarified that was the intent of the maker of the motion that Option 1 did not
assume a RFA but some additional revenue source that was likely voter-approved.
Councilmember Wambolt noted there was also an assumption that amendments would be made to Option
1 next week.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Wilson expressed his appreciation to Mayor Haakenson for providing Options 2 and 3 to
identify potential budget cuts, commenting it would not have been possible for him to get to this point
without that information.
Council President Plunkett echoed Councilmember Wilson’s comment, noting this process was worthy of
the time and effort and was what the Council and the public needed.
COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS, TO
EXTEND THE MEETING UNTIL 11:00 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

6. 2009 NON-REPRESENTED COMPENSATION
Human Resources Manager Debi Humann explained in the City, non-represented wages were impacted
by three main actions: 1) the annual salary survey required by the Non-Represented Compensation Policy
(NRC), 2) an annual Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) approved by Council, and 3) annual merit
increases tied to employee performance.
A modified salary survey was conducted per the NRC policy and the results of the Police Chief and the
HR Assistant positions were included in the Council packet. The salaries were slightly lower than last
year which lowered the 2009 bands for all non-represented positions. She referred to spreadsheets
provided by Finance that identified the current bands and the proposed new bands that resulted from the
survey.
Ms. Humann explained non-represented employees have historically received the same COLA as union
employees. The City’s unions have negotiated the following COLAs: Teamsters will receive a maximum
of 5.5%, Police and Law Support will receive a 6.2% COLA, and Fire and SEIU will receive a 5.8%
COLA. She acknowledged the City’s economic issues, noting the importance of considering the internal
equity of employees when considering the 2009 non-represented employees COLA. She cited serious
salary compression issues between management and the people they supervise. For example,
management does not receive overtime pay while the people they supervise receive this benefit. In the
Police Department, one sergeant earns more than both Assistant Police Chiefs with three others within 5%
of the lower paid Assistant Police Chief’s annual salary. In Fire, currently several employees earn more
than the Assistant Fire Chief and two others are close behind.
Union employees’ receipt of the negotiated COLAs will add significantly to the salary compression issue
between management and employees they supervise. In order to maintain some internal equity, she
requested the non-represented staff receive a 5.8% COLA in 2009. She referred to the spreadsheet which
reflects the non-represented wage bands with the recommended COLA. Even with the 5.8% COLA,
salary compression for Police management staff will continue to be an issue as their union members will
receive a 6.2% COLA. She noted the proposed COLA for non-represented management staff was
included in the proposed budget and would not require additional funding.
She explained as a result of the current economic situation, Mayor Haakenson froze all non-represented
employee merit increases. Union employees are not bound by this wage freeze and eligible employees
will continue to receive their negotiated annual increases of approximately 5% which further compounds
salary compression issues between management and the people they supervise. She anticipated if the
Council did not approve a 5.8% COLA for non-represented staff and compression issues continued to
overlap management salaries, the impact would be felt in retention of key employees as well as the City’s
ability to compete in the marketplace for critical management staff. She noted in the past 18 months, the
City had lost 6 non-represented employees who found more lucrative jobs.
She recalled during the budget preparation, there were discussions regarding the number of staff
members. She explained the City operates with a minimum number of employees as compared to other
cities. She relayed her research to compare the City’s FTE and population to other cities; Edmonds
ranked at the 10th position out of 17 cities or 1 below the median. However, only 3 of the 17 cities,
Edmonds, Renton and Lynnwood, offer Fire, Police, Municipal Court, Community Public Pool, and
Wastewater Treatment Plant services. Lynnwood is ranked at L-2 and Renton is ranked at L-4 for FTE
while Edmonds is ranked at L-10. She summarized although Edmonds’ ratio of staff to population shows
Edmonds in the 10th position, it was largely due to the management team that the work is still getting done
via long hours, no overtime and without perks other cities provide such as additional premium pay for
education and longevity, paid management leave, etc.

She requested the City Council’s endorsement and approval of the new wage bands reflecting the results
of the 2009 salary survey and further approval of a 5.8% COLA for non-represented staff for 2009. Once
approved, the City Attorney will prepare the annual non-represented salary ordinance for Council final
approval.
Mayor Haakenson asked how many employees were covered by the non-represented salary compensation
plan. Ms. Humann answered approximately 43; the City had a total of 273 employees. Mayor
Haakenson clarified those 43 were not represented by unions and the remaining employees were
represented by unions. Ms. Humann responded the 43 were currently not represented; a group of them
recently filed with PERC to form a union.
Councilmember Wambolt pointed out the salary survey indicated the bands needed to be lowered slightly.
He asked whether the other cities’ salaries included a COLA. Ms. Humann explained the salary survey
considered 2008 salaries with the 2008 COLA. Councilmember Wambolt asked whether she assumed
those cities would add a 2009 COLA to their compensation. Ms. Humann answered yes.
Councilmember Bernheim asked the names of the six non-represented employees who left the City. Ms.
Humann answered she did not have the list but recalled they were primarily from the second floor.
Mayor Haakenson answered they were predominately from engineering. Councilmember Bernheim
recalled one was Assistant City Engineer Don Fiene; Ms. Humann recalled the Traffic Engineer and a
Senior Planner also left. Mayor Haakenson clarified they did not resign to take jobs with other cities but
for jobs in the private sector. Ms. Humann pointed out many of the employees who left also had a great
deal of historical knowledge.
Council President Plunkett commented he was more sympathetic to this issue than he had been in the
past. He was acquainted with someone who owned a large engineering company that had an HR staff of
approximately ten people who recruited employees from cities. He concluded if the City did not pay its
employees what the marketplace did, they would leave.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON,
FOR APPROVAL OF THE NEW WAGE BANDS AND THE 5.8% COLA.
Councilmember Wambolt commented the survey did not address Council President Plunkett’s concern as
it only compared employees’ salaries between cities not the private sector. He regretted the Council did
not budget for a compensation consultant last year. He pointed out salaries and benefits comprised 70%
of General Fund expenditures. During the period 2003 - 2008, salaries were up by 23%; during that same
period of time, the CPI index increased 18%. Even with the elimination of some higher paid positions in
recent years, salaries continue to increase. During the past year, three year labor agreements were
approved that provide 6.2% increases for Police and 5.8% increases for Fire. He questioned whether
those increases would have been approved if negotiated today. Now the Council is asked to approve a
5.8% increase for non-represented employees and told that to do otherwise would be unfair.
Unfortunately, life is not always fair and he anticipated a preponderance of Edmonds taxpayers felt they
were being treated unfairly by their employees, some receiving limited or no pay increases, having their
salaries decreased, taking days off without pay or being laid off.
Councilmember Wambolt pointed out $6 million or 17% of the City’s total revenue was budgeted to
come from sales tax, a small increase over 2008; however, in view of the downward spiraling economy, it
was very possible $6 million would not be collected. The City’s General Fund reserve or ending fund
balance will increase a modest amount if everything goes as planned but the balance would remain at a
Packet Page 21 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 25, 2008
Page 17
historically low level. Good judgment dictates it is time to trade fairness for prudence and he regretfully
could not support the proposed increase but could support a lower amount.
Councilmember Dawson commented she had previously supported a 5.5% increase but was persuaded by
staff’s research that a 5.8% increase was appropriate. She pointed out Edmonds staff was asked to do
more with less and would be asked to do even more in the coming years. In order to retain staff, it was
necessary to provide fair compensation. She noted this COLA was included in the budget, yet no
Councilmembers had proposed a cut or freeze and not approving the increase would not solve the City’s
budget crisis. She supported the proposed 5.8% COLA given how much these employees would be asked
to do in the coming years and given the current compression issues.
Councilmember Bernheim asked what COLA was factored into Options 1, 2 and 3. Councilmember
Dawson answered the amount recommended, 5.8%. Councilmember Bernheim pointed out the 5.8%
COLA for the 43 non-represented employees equated to approximately $220,000. Ms. Humann answered
it was $205,000. Mayor Haakenson asked the total amount of the COLA for the union contracts. Ms.
Humann recalled it was approximately $800,000.
Councilmember Bernheim commented as an employer himself, COLAs were not expected and were
dependent on income and if employees left taking their experience, so be it. It was the responsibility of
the Mayor to make the job attractive enough so that employees did not leave. As an example, he
acknowledged his employees could earn more elsewhere, but the work environment he created as well as
tangible and intangible benefits encouraged them to stay. He could not justify to the taxpayers a 5.8%
across-the-board COLA increase because the budget was too tight.
Mayor Haakenson pointed out the Council voted to approve that COLA for all four of the union contracts.
Councilmember Bernheim commented the contracts were presented to the Council as a fait accompli.
Mayor Haakenson disagreed, noting the Council gave staff direction with regard to negotiations.
Councilmember Bernheim regretted the decisions he made as a new Councilmember to approve a 6%
COLA and a 1% increase for the Fire Department for maintaining their physical fitness. In addition, the
economic situation was more serious now than it was 4-6 months ago. He concluded the City simply
could not afford the 5.8% COLA for non-represented employees.
Councilmember Wilson acknowledged it was difficult for staff to hear this discussion by Council. As a
new Councilmember, he was surprised at how tense the relationship was between Council and staff. He
pointed out to staff the absence of Council discussion regarding furloughs, concluding the Council as a
whole wanted to do well by staff and recognized that employees were the City’s biggest asset. He
encouraged staff to assist the Council with resolving the revenue problems, concluding if the Council and
staff were not on the same team, resolution would not be possible.
Councilmember Dawson commented it was typical for employees to receive regular COLAs and many
governmental agencies have depoliticized the process by adopting a policy that non-represented
employees receive a COLA in the amount received by the largest bargaining group. The City
Administration was already mindful of the budgetary situation by freezing merit increases. With regard
to furloughs, she was pleased this Council had not seriously entertained that concept because of the
difficulty getting the unions to reopen their contracts to add ten days of unpaid leave. Imposing that on
only non-represented employees would effectively reduce their salaries by ten days a year. She preferred
to adopt staff’s recommendation and send a message to the non-represented employees they were valued
and their hard work was recognized.
Councilmember Wambolt commented the discussion regarding wage compression was apples and
oranges because it should not consider overtime. He recalled in his last position he received a base salary
Packet Page 22 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 25, 2008
Page 18
that was double the highest paid employee, yet often other employees earned more because of
commissions. He agreed retaining employees had much to do with leadership; in his experience the
primary reason employees left for another job was not salary. He expressed support for a lower COLA
such as 3%.
Councilmember Orvis expressed support for the 5.8% COLA as a reasonable compromise. He recalled
working for employers who did not give COLAs or reduced benefits but it was applied throughout the
organization.
MOTION CARRIED (4-2), COUNCILMEMBERS BERNHEIM AND WAMBOLT OPPOSED.
7. REVIEW AMENDMENTS TO THE EDMONDS PARKS, RECREATION & OPEN SPACE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE.
Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh provided a history of previous action including review of the
Parks, Recreation & Open Space and Community Cultural Plans on March 18 and a public hearing on
April 15. Comments from citizens were then incorporated into the Plans and staff presented updated
Plans to the Council on May 20 and a second public hearing was held on July 15 and additional
amendments were made to the Plan. At the Council’s special workshop on August 18 the Plans were
discussed again. In response to the Council’s desire to ensure that the Plan not be any less ambitious than
the previous Plan, staff added language to enhance the aspirational goals of the City to adopt the National
Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) recommended standards. These aspirational standards reflect the
City's long term goals. A second change in the Plan is the inclusion on page 7-2, Funding Plan, of some
examples of City capital and acquisition projects that could be funded through a voter approved General
Obligation Bond.
Councilmember Bernheim inquired about the City’s bonding capacity. Mayor Haakenson answered the
City had significant bonding capacity.
Councilmember Wilson expressed his appreciation to Mr. McIntosh for his efforts to address his
concerns. With regard to level of service, he found the amendment a fair compromise, recognizing that
some in the community will continue to believe the Plan adopts a reduced level of service. Although the
second amendment was less than he would have liked, he acknowledged staff made a good faith effort.
He asked Mr. McIntosh to summarize his response to the Council regarding how this Plan differed from
the previous Plan. Mr. McIntosh recalled there were approximately six changes highlighted in his memo
but none of them were major changes. He summarized in addition to the six times the Plans were
discussed with the Council, there was a public hearing and two reviews by the Planning Board. He
concluded the Plan had been well reviewed and he was satisfied with the product.
COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, TO
ADOPT THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE PLAN AND INSTRUCT THE CITY
ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE TO FORMALLY AMEND THE CITY OF
EDMONDS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO INCLUDE THE UPDATED PARKS, RECREATION
& OPEN SPACE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND COMMUNITY CULTURAL PLAN. MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
8. REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS OF NOVEMBER 10, 2008.

9. COUNCIL REPORTS ON OUTSIDE COMMITTEE/BOARD MEETINGS.
Councilmember Orvis advised information regarding the Snohomish County Health Board was in the
Council packet.
Councilmember Wilson reported a Lake Ballinger Forum meeting was held on December 5 and their first
public open house on December 12 was attended by approximately 70 people.
Councilmember Wambolt reported the Port of Edmonds passed a resolution establishing their 2009 tax
which would maintain the current level of $400,000. The Yacht Club plans to begin construction in
January 2009 and expects to be done by October/November 2009. The Yacht Club signed a long term
lease with NPI, Inc. for 7,053 square feet on the second floor, a company that provides seminars
throughout the United States on federal government contracts, grants and agreements. The owner of
Harbor Square Athletic Club provided an update on plans to refurbish and expand the building which will
include an indoor and outdoor pool. The owner was willing to consider public use of the facility and will
discuss this with Parks & Recreation Director Brian McIntosh. Mayor Haakenson pointed out NPI, Inc.
was already an Edmonds business.
10. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Haakenson commented Councilmember Dawson had been a great addition to the Council but he
was excited about her pursuing something she was excited about. He wished her the best.
Mayor Haakenson commented it was fun to have so many kids in the audience and speak to the Council.
In particular he recognized the eloquence of Quinn Jackson and Isabella Rohani and encouraged them to
speak to the Council in the future. He wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
11. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Orvis congratulated Councilmember Dawson on her new job in Washington DC.
Packet Page 24 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
November 25, 2008
Page 20
Councilmember Dawson agreed with Mayor Haakenson’s comment regarding the kids who spoke to the
Council. She was thankful to have lived in Edmonds, a city where people brought their kids to the City
Council meeting to talk about what they loved about the City.
Councilmember Bernheim recalled a few weeks ago he reported how he had cut his natural gas
consumption by 60% as compared to October 2007. He reported his monthly electric consumption was
less than 300 kilowatt hours per month and urged the public to monitor their daily electrical use. In his
home, the daily use was approximately 10 kilowatt hours; in the average home and in his home two years
ago the average was over 30 kilowatt hours. He urged the public to radically reduce their use which not
only helped the environment but the financial savings kept money in the community.
Councilmember Wilson announced the Tree Lighting Ceremony on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. and a book sale
at Barnes & Noble benefiting the Edmonds Public Education Foundation on December 11-13.
Councilmember Wambolt requested Mayor Haakenson use his influence to get the sidewalk in front of
Old Milltown open by Christmastime this year. He expressed concern that the construction company on
that project, Belfor, moved out today. He also suggested the developer be encouraged to complete the
sidewalk and building at 3rd & Dayton.

3. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
FOR 2008-2013.
Brian Harding, Property Management, Edmonds School District, explained the proposed Capital
Facilities Plan for 2008-2013 did not include any mitigation fees. The Plan has been reviewed by the
Planning Board and they recommend approval.
Councilmember Wilson asked why the District was not imposing mitigation fees on new development
that increases school enrollment. Mr. Harding responded the Edmonds School District was not eligible to
charge mitigation fees because they still had capacity to accommodate increased enrollment.
Councilmember Wilson asked how mitigation fees were imposed. Mr. Harding responded the District
recommends the City adopt an ordinance that allows for mitigation fees. During this six-year planning
period there were no increases in enrollment expected. He acknowledged in a 20-year planning period
enrollment may exceed capacity.
Councilmember Wilson inquired about funding for projects such as Lynnwood High School and other
capital improvements. Mr. Harding responded leasing the current Lynnwood High School site, the
maintenance site near Alderwood Mall and the former administration site would provide capital funds for
construction.
Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing. There were no members
of the public present who wished to speak and Mayor Haakenson closed the public hearing.
COUNCILMEMBER DAWSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, TO
APPROVE THE EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN AND DIRECT
THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE TO REFERENCE THE PLAN AS
PART OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
4. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2009-2010 BUDGET.
Mayor Haakenson opened the public participation portion of the public hearing.
David Thorpe, Edmonds, expressed concern with the worldwide financial situation including the State,
City and his own household. He noted his frustration with the Council’s lack of leadership and urgency
in the handling of the budget. He recalled the Council’s discussion earlier this year regarding a survey
and environmental study on property the City did not own and that was not for sale during a time when
the budget was already $2.5 million in deficit. He urged the Council to consider what the City needed not
what the Council wanted. He expressed concern with increased taxes as a result of the Transportation
Benefit District, property tax, utility tax, school levy and EMS levy and cautioned the Council to be
cognizant of how often they asked voters for funds. He recognized immediate revenue would likely be
generated at the expense of citizens via a levy or Regional Fire Authority and urged the Council to also
make major cuts and for citizens to lower their expectations of service levels. He recommended all the
suggested cuts be implemented with the exception of the DARE program, Crime Prevention, Yost Pool
and fiber optics. He also recommended a 5% across-the-board citywide cut, no additional expenditures
and that consideration be given to eliminating projects in the CIP. On another matter, he encouraged the
public to give to the food bank throughout the year.
Strom Peterson, Edmonds, a Chamber of Commerce boardmember and member of the Downtown
Edmonds Merchants Association, spoke in favor of a Business Improvement District (BID). He
explained a BID would allow business and property owners within the District to impose a self-tax. He
visualized the tax as an investment in the future; the formation a BID could bring in revenues to promote
downtown businesses and Edmonds and fund programs such as the flower baskets. He recognized the
Packet Page 28 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
December 2, 2008
Page 3
difficulty of relying on strained resources, pointing out a BID was an opportunity for property and
business owners as well as the community to create self-sustaining funding that would reduce the pressure
on future budgets.
Jeff Draper, Edmonds, reminded the Council of the citizens who spoke last week in support of Yost
Pool. He announced anyone interested in Yost Pool could now join a Google Group to share information.
He envisioned funding for Yost Pool may be in jeopardy in future years.
Don Hall, Edmonds, expressed support for Councilmember Wilson’s amendment #1 (increase economic
development advertising by $25,000). He pointed out Edmonds was competing against many other cities;
additional advertising would increase revenue for businesses as well as the City via sales tax. He also
supported the formation of a BID which would show businesses interested in locating in Edmonds that
the City wanted to support them and help them succeed. He disagreed with Councilmember Bernheim’s
amendment to cut Youth Services, noting eliminating police support at the high school and the DARE
programs sent the wrong message with regard to security and learning right from wrong. He further
encouraged the public not to use plastic bags during the holiday shopping season.
Malia Santucci, a sixth grade teacher at Holy Rosary School, Edmonds, urged the Council to retain
funding for the DARE program, a vital preventative measure. She commented on the positive and
proactive benefits the DARE program provided and the invaluable personal connection the DARE Officer
brought to the classroom. The students benefit from receiving accurate information from the DARE
Officer about health and safety dangers they face with regard to drugs, alcohol, and tobacco as well as
making wise decisions for their future. She summarized eliminating the DARE program would be a
tragic loss and urged the Council to retain funding in the budget for the DARE program.
David Arista, Edmonds, a business and property owner in downtown Edmonds, voiced his support for
Councilmember Wilson’s budget amendment #1 (increase economic development advertising by
$25,000) and #2 (increase economic development professional services for BID in the amount of
$60,000). He noted the BID would be a self-imposed tax and the revenues could be directed to specific
purposes that benefited the downtown business district such as co-op advertising, beautification, streets,
public restrooms, trash cans, and business recruitment and retention. He expressed his appreciation for
the assistance provided by Stephen Clifton who undertook the additional responsibilities of the Economic
Development Director. He recognized the City was in a budget crisis and preferred to raise revenue
rather than cut expenses. He summarized the cost of forming a BID would be money well spent and an
investment in the community. He relayed the Downtown Edmonds Merchant Association’s support for
the BID recognizing they would bear the primary expense.
Chris Fleck, Edmonds, a business and property owner in downtown Edmonds, echoed Mr. Arista’s
comments, noting after minimal start up costs a BID would be self-sustaining. He relayed the Chamber
of Commerce’s support for the BID. He encouraged the Council not to cut funding for programs such as
the flower baskets and other beautification efforts that bring customers downtown until the BID was
underway. He referred to an article in a 1998 magazine about Edmonds that mentioned the flower baskets
and flower beds throughout the City. He noted many of his clients remarked on the City’s beauty,
something the BID could help fund.
Dave Page, Edmonds, recognized the development of the budget was a lengthy process and
complimented the City and its employees. He recalled serving on the committee 20 years ago that
discovered the City’s Chief Police earned 30% less than Brier’s part-time Police Chief and after the
Council funded a study, the salary was rectified over a 5-6 year period. He recalled Mayor Haakenson
telling him he planned to run the City like a business. He pointed out the free enterprise system was
under attack but could carry a great deal of weight if it was evenly distributed. He asked the Council to
Packet Page 29 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
December 2, 2008
Page 4
reconsider the salary increases approved last week, recognizing staff was well paid and no other
businesses were giving raises.
Ronald Clyborne, Edmonds, spoke in support of Councilmember Wilson’s budget amendment #1
(increase economic development advertising by $25,000) and #2 (increase economic development
professional services for BID in the amount of $60,000). He pointed out Edmonds was a unique and
special community and had a Chamber of Commerce that supported the community with an amazing
series of events. The last thing that should be done now is to jeopardize the community’s special
position. As Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce and a business person, he urged the Council to
approve Councilmember Wilson’s amendments.
Bob Rinehart, Edmonds, agreed with Mr. Thorpe’s comments regarding the critical situation the City
faced. He noted before The Depression, there was a 1-year depression in 1929, again in 1937 and 1939.
One of the major reasons for the later ones was the nation closed in on itself. He pointed out the
importance of making some cuts but urged the Council to support Councilmember Wilson amendment #1
to ensure the promotion of Edmonds continued. He recalled speaking to the Council as a Chamber of
Commerce Boardmember about the Everything Edmonds initiative to encourage residents to shop locally
- “put your money where your house is.” He noted although many were aware of what the City has to
offer, that image must be earned every day because of the ever changing demographics in the area.
Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Haakenson closed the public hearing.
5. ADOPTION OF THE 2009-2010 BUDGET: ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON RELATING TO THE BUDGET FOR THE BIENNIUM COMMENCING
JANUARY 1, 2009, ADOPTING A BIENNIAL BUDGET FOR 2009-2010.
Mayor Haakenson recalled last Tuesday the Council gave staff direction that they wanted to start with
Option 1. Option 1 is the first budget presented to the Council and contains no budget cuts. Option 1 was
built around surviving 2009 and 2010 and hoping the Council would identify a fix for the long term
budget woes which could be a Regional Fire Authority (RFA), parks levy, public safety levy lid lift, or
other method. Upon further review, he determined the ending cash balance in Option 1 was frighteningly
low in 2010, $600,000; he preferred an ending cash balance of at least $1 million although the target
ending cash balance would be $2-$3 million. Therefore, he prepared a revised Option 1 that removed the
new positions in the 2009-2010 budget, the request for equipment to address internet and computer issues,
an IT position, and a HR position which increased the ending cash balance at the end of 2010 to $1.3
million. He pointed out the ending cash balance in 2011 decreased to $700,000 and to a $2 million in
deficit in 2012 and $4 million in deficit in 2013, emphasizing the need for a long term fix.
COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, FOR
APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NO. 3711, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, RELATING TO THE BUDGET FOR THE BIENNIUM COMMENCING
JANUARY 1, 2009, ADOPTING A BIENNIAL BUDGET FOR 2009-2010.
The following amendment to the motion was proposed by Councilmembers Orvis and Bernheim:
COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM, TO
ADD $81,520 TO THE BUDGET FOR PURPOSES OF FUNDING THE SNOHOMISH COUNTY
HEALTH DISTRICT.
Councilmember Orvis explained cities had historically provided funds to the Snohomish Health District;
there was nothing this year that obligated cities to provide funding and he suspected many cities would
not. He explained the services the Health District provided kept people from getting sick. He identified
some of the cuts the Health District made to their budget including to the Tuberculosis Control Unit, the
Packet Page 30 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
December 2, 2008
Page 5
Childcare Health program, programs associated with injury prevention and oral health, Healthy
Communities program which deals with heart disease, disease investigation, and the West Nile Virus
program. He urged Edmonds to be the first city to provide additional funding to the Health District.
Mayor Haakenson asked the funding source for this addition to the budget. Councilmember Orvis stated
it would be from the ending cash balance and he would support some other cuts to provide this funding.
Councilmember Bernheim supported this amendment because public health was risky and public health
had a record of efficacy. He also supported Edmonds providing a regional example via this funding.
Council President Plunkett recognized public health as a public safety issue.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
BERNHEIM, TO AMEND THE AMENDING MOTION TO REDUCE THE FUNDING AMOUNT
TO $50,000. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Dawson agreed many of the points made were valid; if the other cities had been
interested in participating, it may have been possible to create an Interlocal Agreement to create a
sustainable funding source for the Health District. Because that would not happen this year and she
envisioned it would only be Edmonds taking $50,000 from a very tight budget to provide funds that
would not solve the Health District’s problems, she would not be voting in favor of this amendment. She
expressed appreciation for Councilmember Orvis’ efforts on the Health District Board to resolve several
issues and acknowledged the need to fix the Health District crisis in the County and State. She regretfully
was unable to support the amendment although she supported the concept of cities coming together to
provide funding.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION FAILED (3-4), COUNCIL PRESIDENT PLUNKETT AND
COUNCILMEMBERS ORVIS AND BERNHEIM IN FAVOR; AND COUNCILMEMBERS
WILSON, OLSON, DAWSON AND WAMBOLT OPPOSED.
The following amendments were proposed by Councilmember Bernheim:
Cut Council City Attorney budget ($10,000)
Mayor Haakenson advised this reduction would be accomplished by Mr. Snyder not attending the third
Council meeting of the month.
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS, TO
CUT THE COUNCIL CITY ATTORNEY BUDGET BY $10,000.
Councilmember Bernheim commented some of the reductions could be realized via spending constraint.
Councilmember Wambolt asked the ramifications of not having the City Attorney at the third meeting of
the month and suggested simply cutting the City Attorney budget by $10,000. Mayor Haakenson
answered it would be accomplished by not scheduling public hearings on the third meeting of the month.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Cut Senior Center funding ($10,000)
Councilmember Bernheim explained the objective of this cut was to demonstrate that all segments of the
community were sharing in the belt tightening. As a member of the Senior Center, he believed the
members of the Senior Center were willing to put in their fair share. He noted many members of the
Senior Center lived through the depression and knew about sacrifice. He emphasized the need for cuts,
anticipating the City’s revenues would be less than projected.

COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO
CUT $10,000 FROM SENIOR CENTER FUNDING.
Councilmember Wilson commented he seconded this motion and would second all of Councilmember
Bernheim’s motions, not because he supported them but because he felt they warranted debate. He did
not support the proposed reduction in the funds provided to the Senior Center.
MOTION FAILED (1-6), COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM IN FAVOR.
Cut Youth Services ($250,000)
Councilmember Bernheim explained the Police Department budget was in excess of $9 million, nearly
1/3 of the City’s budget. He proposed trying a cut to the Youth Services program for one year.
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO
CUT YOUTH SERVICES BY $250,000.
Councilmember Bernheim explained he supported focusing on police priorities. If after one year there
was an observable increase in delinquency or dissatisfaction by society with juveniles, the program could
be reinstated.
Councilmember Wilson recognized Councilmember Bernheim’s intent to spread the sacrifice around but
did not support balancing the budget on the backs of kids, which was the reason he supported funding
Yost Pool and Youth Services.
Mayor Haakenson asked the Police Chief to describe the impact of a $250,000 reduction in Youth
Services. Police Chief Al Compaan explained there were two FTEs within the Youth Services budget,
one responsible for the DARE program at the elementary school level and the other a School Resource
Officer at Edmonds-Woodway High School. If forced to choose, he would strongly encourage the
Council to retain the Edmonds-Woodway High School Resource Officer position. He explained this was
a very proactive position; the officer interacts with students on a daily basis, proactively preventing
problems which eliminates the necessity of patrol cars responding to the high school.
The DARE Officer has contact with approximately 450 students in elementary schools in Edmonds
annually. The DARE curriculum deals with decision-making, how to choose friends, consequences of
actions, drugs, and gang reduction. DARE has been a very positive program that provides an opportunity
for an officer to have contact with elementary students. He urged the Council to think hard before cutting
the DARE program.
Mayor Haakenson spoke in favor of the DARE program and asked Councilmember Bernheim if he had
ever attended a DARE graduation. Councilmember Bernheim indicated he had not. Mayor Haakenson
commented he had attended over 100 DARE graduations since becoming Mayor and had seen the
benefits of the program. He expressed his support for the DARE program, noting it was not just about
drugs but about making good choices, learning how to react to bullying, and how to communicate with
parents. He urged Councilmembers to attend a DARE graduation in January/February and see how the
kids were affected by the program.
WITH THE AGREEMENT OF THE SECOND, COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM REVISED HIS
MOTION TO CUT ONLY THE DARE PROGRAM AT $85,000.
Councilmember Bernheim referred to a U.S. Government General Accounting Office report he provided
to the Council that concluded there was no significant difference in drug use by graduates/non-graduates
of the DARE program. He emphasized the scientific study that had been done found the DARE program
Packet Page 32 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
December 2, 2008
Page 7
was not affective. He noted support for the program recognized the feelings students had at the time the
course was completed and research agreed most students felt good about the program when it was
concluded. What was important to him was whether it had any impact on future drug use when those 5th-
6th graders became 8th-9th graders; the scientific answer was it had no effect. He did not deny DARE
was a great program that created a lot of great feelings and suggested if the schools wanted it in their
curriculum, they pay for it themselves. He also cited a study done by the Washington State Institute for
Public Policy that found DARE programs had no effect.
Councilmember Wilson clarified the materials Councilmember Bernheim provided indicated there was no
impact on future drug use, not that there was no impact at all. He acknowledged Mayor Haakenson’s
comment that there were other topics covered in the DARE curriculum that were not addressed in the
materials Councilmember Bernheim provided.
Student Representative Warren, a student at Meadowdale High School, stated the School Resource
Officer at Meadowdale created a safer environment, built relationships with students and made
presentations during classes. As a DARE graduate, he liked the program and felt it was a great
experience that followed him into middle school. He was uncertain if the DARE program had as much
influence on high school students because people simply made poor choices. He agreed with Police Chief
Compaan that the School Resource Officer was vital but suggested the DARE program be put on hold due
to the City’s budget issues. If the schools like the DARE curriculum, they should fund it themselves.
MOTION FAILED (1-6), COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM VOTED IN FAVOR.
Cut Traffic Enforcement ($25,000)
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO
CUT TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT BY $25,000.
Councilmember Bernheim explained this was another example of sharing the burden of budget
reductions. The Police Department spends $500,000 per year on traffic enforcement, and a $25,000
reduction could fund some other program. By reducing traffic enforcement, there may be fewer arrests
and fewer bookings on crimes that were not threats to public safety. He noted 22% of misdemeanor
bookings in September 2008 and 25% in October 2008 were for marijuana or drug paraphernalia; the City
must pay to take these people to jail, book them and incarcerate them.
Councilmember Orvis explained premature death was used by the Health District to measure years of life
lost. For example, the difference in the age of someone who died before age 65 equals years of life lost.
The primary cause of years of life lost was accidents; therefore, traffic enforcement was also a public
health issue. He was reluctant to make any cuts in traffic enforcement, finding it premature.
Councilmember Wambolt reiterated he would never cut traffic enforcement and would prefer to double it.
MOTION FAILED (1-6), COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM VOTED IN FAVOR.
Cut City Newsletter ($20,000)
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO
CUT THE CITY NEWSLETTER BY $20,000.
Councilmember Bernheim clarified his proposal was not to eliminate the newsletter, only to stop printing
and mailing it. It would be available on the City’s website.

Councilmember Wilson commented this was an appropriate item to consider in times of belt tightening.
He noted in the federal government, the U.S. Military and the U.S. Post Office were the only two
agencies citizens liked because those were the only ones that spent any money of substance
communicating with the public. He noted the direct consequence of this budget reduction was possibly
increasing the public’s mistrust of government.
MOTION CARRIED (6-1), COUNCILMEMBER WILSON OPPOSED.
Cut court security for infraction proceedings.
Ms. Junglov advised Councilmember Bernheim did not provide a dollar amount.
Councilmember Dawson suggested if this did not have a dollar amount, it was not a budget amendment
and the merits could be discussed by the Public Safety Committee.
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO
CUT $5,000 FROM COURT SECURITY FOR INFRACTION PROCEEDINGS.
Municipal Court Judge Doug Fair recalled the total budget for court security was $40,000. The union
contract with the Police Department allowed the court to contract with Mountlake Terrace which will
reduce the cost by approximately $5,000. Mayor Haakenson asked him to address the merits of court
security. Judge Fair commented he recently arraigned someone who had followed one of the prosecutors
home from Lynnwood court on a contested hearing and slashed her tires. He noted that was the type of
animosity from a $144 fine levied in infraction proceedings. He noted during infraction proceedings fines
were levied in the amount of $124 - $155 but there was often more animosity from a $124 fine than when
someone was sentenced to a year in jail. He advised there were two, 4-hour night courts per month
dedicated solely to infractions, mitigations and contested hearings billed at $40/hour. He noted all
courthouses had court security and he felt it was a bad idea to eliminate it in Edmonds.
Councilmember Bernheim asked how long court security had been provided. Judge Fair recalled it was
started approximately three years ago shortly after he became the judge as a result of Human Resources
Director Debi Humann’s efforts. He advised court security was eliminated under Judge White and then
reinstated when he became judge because he felt it was a priority. Councilmember Bernheim asked the
experience when there was no court security. Judge Fair responded he had people run from the court
when told they would be arrested on a warrant, resulting in people with outstanding warrants leaving the
court. Now the custody officer arrests anyone with an outstanding warrant.
Councilmember Bernheim noted the person that ran away was wanted on another warrant and appeared
voluntarily in the court. He asked if that was the reason for courtroom security, to track people down who
escaped on warrants. Judge Fair answered it was that and to ensure people did not get out of control in
the courtroom. He noted the push for court security came approximately five years ago when a person
shot three people in a King County courthouse. He noted the Council had the benefit of a Police Officer
at every meeting and asked in the courtroom where tensions ran easily as high that there be court security
for all hearings.
Councilmember Bernheim asked if the Police Chief attended Council meetings for security or as a Police
representative. Mayor Haakenson answered there was a Police Officer at every Council meeting for
security. Councilmember Bernheim asked how that was accounted for in the budget. Mayor Haakenson
answered it was a non-represented salary. Councilmember Bernheim was uncertain that was necessary.
Human Resources Director Debi Human explained there were two reasons for security in the court, 1) the
result of an employee survey that revealed the number one concern was security during court, and 2) a
survey of municipal courts in the area found Edmonds was the only court that did not provide security.

Legal counsel advised that may not be the best position to be in. She suggested consideration be given to
the potential costs if security were not provided.
MOTION FAILED (1-6), COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM VOTED IN FAVOR.
Cut Olympia and Washington DC lobbying expenses ($80,000).
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS, TO
CUT $80,000 FROM THE OLYMPIA AND WASHINGTON DC LOBBYING EXPENSES.
Councilmember Dawson asked if there was $80,000 in the budget or less because the Washington DC
lobbyist had already been cut. Mayor Haakenson stated Option 1 cut the Washington DC lobbyist but not
the Olympia lobbyist. Community Services/Economic Development Director Stephen Clifton advised the
cost of the Washington DC lobbyist was $45,000; the cost of the Olympia lobbyist was $35,000.
WITH THE AGREEMENT OF THE SECOND, THE MOTION WAS REVISED TO CUT $35,000
FROM THE OLYMPIA LOBBYIST.
Councilmember Bernheim clarified he was not proposing these cuts because he disliked the programs but
because the City did not have sufficient funds. It was his understanding that Department Heads were
capable and he hoped they would have enough time to lobby for specific causes. Further, the City
belonged to a number of membership organizations that represent the City’s interests such as Association
of Washington Cities. He suggested trying this for a year to see if the City missed out on anything.
Councilmember Orvis expressed support for this amendment.
Mayor Haakenson advised the reason he cut the Washington DC lobbyist was he did not feel the City was
getting its money’s worth; the opposite was true for Mike Doubleday, the Olympia lobbyist, from whom
the City received more from his lobbying efforts than the City paid him each year. He felt the Olympia
lobbyist was well worth the investment, noting his Department heads did not have time to lobby in
Olympia and he doubted that anyone in Olympia would listen to them because they wanted to hear from
elected officials. He urged the Council to retain funding in the budget for Mike Doubleday’s contract.
Student Representative Warren agreed $35,000 was a small amount to ensure the City’s opinion was
heard.
Councilmember Wilson relayed that Edmonds had submitted projects in response to the federal
government request for cities to identify projects that are ready to go that could be funded via an
economic stimulus package. He asked how the City learned of that request. Mayor Haakenson answered
he learned about it from the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Councilmember Wilson asked if there was any
role from the DC lobbyist in that solicitation. Mr. Clifton answered there was none; the City received
notification from the U.S. Conference of Mayors that a list of Public Works projects was being developed
and if the City wanted to have projects included, they needed to be submitted by December 3. After
speaking with staff, he developed and submitted a list of projects that were ready to construct within 90
days which was one of the criteria.
Councilmember Wilson asked if the DC lobbyist assisted with the receipt of any of the funds provided by
the federal government for Edmonds Crossing. Mr. Clifton responded he submitted three requests and
received a total of $6.5 million in federal appropriations without any support from the DC lobbyist.
Councilmember Wilson inquired what funding Mike Doubleday had secured. Mr. Clifton answered there
were tangible and intangible benefits; the benefits received from Mike Doubleday’s assistance had more
Packet Page 35 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
December 2, 2008
Page 10
than paid for themselves. With regard to intangible benefits, Mike Doubleday is in Olympia during the
session monitoring legislation on the City’s behalf, he understands the Council’s legislative agenda and
speaks with the City’s representatives to share the City’s position on a variety of issues based on the
Council’s legislative agenda. One of the tangible benefits was Mr. Doubleday set up a series of meetings
with the State House and Senate representatives where Mayor Haakenson, Mr. Doubleday and he made
presentations that resulted in securing $58 million through 2017 for the Edmonds Crossing project.
UPON ROLL CALL, MOTION FAILED (3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS BERNHEIM, ORVIS, AND
WILSON IN FAVOR; AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT PLUNKETT AND COUNCILMEMBERS
WAMBOLT, DAWSON, AND OLSON OPPOSED.
Cut Parks Maintenance ($50,000).
COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO
CUT PARKS MAINTENANCE BY $50,000.
Councilmember Bernheim explained this was another example of shared sacrifice. The Parks
maintenance budget was approximately $500,000/year; this amendment would reduce the funds available
for maintenance by 10%.
Councilmember Wilson advised the parks maintenance budget was $1.3-$1.4 million; $500,000 was the
amount Mayor Haakenson suggested as a potential cut in the second year of the budget. He explained the
first thing that would be cut from the maintenance budget would be seasonal employees who take care of
beautification projects in the City. It was his understanding that a cut to parks maintenance would cut
those beautification projects.
MOTION FAILED (1-6), COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM VOTED IN FAVOR.
Add full-time grants writer (effective 1/1/2010)
Observing this did not have an associated cost, Mayor Haakenson suggested this be discussed in Council
committee.
Councilmember Bernheim withdrew this amendment.
Continue the fiber project.
Mayor Haakenson advised that was included in the Option 1 budget.
Mayor Haakenson declared a brief recess.
Mayor Haakenson clarified the cuts included in the Option 1 revised budget were the 2008 IT equipment
purchase, proposed new positions for HR and IT, a vacant position in Finance, a vacant position in the
City Clerk’s office, and the Crime Prevention Specialist position. Also included was the elimination of
three positions earlier this year, the Administrative Services Director, an engineering position and the
Economic Development Director.
Councilmember Wilson inquired about the target ending fund balance. Ms. Junglov responded it was one
month’s of General Fund expenditures. Councilmember Wilson relayed he learned via MRSC that the
recommended reserve level was 50% of the General Fund or $5.5 million for Edmonds. He asked how
the cash flow worked for the City when property taxes were received twice a year. Ms. Junglov answered
the fund balance began to get low in October and April, approximately $1 million; the ending cash had
not yet been depleted on a monthly basis.
Packet Page 36 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
December 2, 2008
Page 11
Councilmember Wilson pointed out in Option 1 Revised, the ending fund balance in 2010 was $600,000;
the original Option 1 had an ending fund balance in 2010 of $187,000. Ms. Junglov advised the ending
fund balance in the original budget was approximately $600,000 but since then sales tax forecasts have
been revised which resulted in the $187,000 ending fund balance.
Council President Plunkett asked whether the budget notes regarding revenue options, cuts, etc. would be
printed on the budget. Ms. Junglov answered they could be. Council President Plunkett suggested they
be included on the budget and the Council agreed. Ms. Junglov asked whether the Council wanted the
budget notes expanded to include action taken tonight. Council President Plunkett answered yes.
The following amendments were suggested by Councilmember Wilson:
Increase economic development advertising ($25,000)
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM, TO
INCREASE THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVERTISING BY $25,000.
Councilmember Wilson stated this amendment increased the economic development advertising budget
from $7,300 to $32,300, an increase of $25,000. Edmonds, like any city, has two ways to increase
revenue - economic development or increase taxes. In the past, the City has not expended a great deal on
economic development. Without economic development, the only other option was to raise taxes to cover
basic City services. The proposed amendment is an investment with the goal of crafting a budget to
define the type of City the Council wanted Edmonds to be. He noted paying for that type of city would
be increasingly difficult because following Tim Eyman initiatives, cities lost nearly all their capacity to
increase revenues to keep pace with inflation. Observing the City could only raise property tax revenue
1% even when inflation was 5.8%, he emphasized the City could never cut its way out of a budget crisis.
The options were to either raise taxes or increase the focus on economic development or both.
He commented on the need for the City to compete for employee retention as well as to attract and retain
businesses. For example Renton advertises itself on Comcast On Demand and Port Angeles recently
made an investment of $600,000 in economic development. To attract people to Edmonds, particularly
during the 2010 Winter Olympics, Edmonds needs to advertise.
Councilmember Wilson noted the City was unable to fund its current levels of service; in order to fund
those levels of service in 2008, the City went into deficit $2.6 million. That cannot continue. Because of
initiatives the Council must at some point in the future seek the public’s support for a tax increase. When
that action was necessary, he wanted to be able to say everything possible had been done to bring revenue
into the City including investing modest amounts in economic development. He pointed out to residents
that they could keep their taxes lower by shopping in Edmonds because a great deal of retail dollars were
spent outside the City. He concluded $25,000 was a modest investment for advertising to keep dollars in
Edmonds and to compete against other cities.
Councilmember Wambolt expressed support for this amendment, recognizing there was a huge problem.
He reiterated Edmonds residents paid more in property taxes because Edmonds’ property values were
very high. An average home in Edmonds paid 59% more in taxes than a home in Mountlake Terrace,
46% more than in Lynnwood and 35% more than in Everett. Further analysis revealed General Fund
revenues per capita were $758 in Edmonds, $865 in Mountlake Terrace because they have gambling,
$1,126 in Lynnwood because of sales tax from the mall, and $1,302 in Everett. His analysis of
expenditures found Edmonds spent $865 per capita, Mountlake Terrace spends more, and Lynnwood and
Everett spend even more. He concluded Edmonds highest expenditures were in salaries - 70% of the
budget was salary and benefits and this was true for all cities. In the private world, salaries and benefits
were 60%. The reason the percentage was so high was the City was paying cost of living increases. In
Packet Page 37 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
December 2, 2008
Page 12
the 2007 budget, the entire increase was in salaries and benefits; all other expenses went down between
the 2007 and 2009 budgets.
He spoke in favor of providing Mr. Clifton and Mayor Haakenson more weapons in their arsenal when
trying to attract/retain businesses such as demonstrating to developers that the City was open for
development by allowing 1-2 additional stories in certain zones. He recommended the Council consider
this early next year. He envisioned either the City would be bankrupt if economic development did not
improve or taxes would be increased to a level citizens could not afford.
Mayor Haakenson clarified Edmonds expenditures per capita were less than other cities and other cities
also spent 70% of their budget on salaries and benefits.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Increase economic development professional services for Business Improvement District ($60,000).
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM, TO
INCREASE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ($60,000).
Councilmember Wilson explained the reason for a Business Improvement District (BID) was to allow
local commercial neighborhoods to tax themselves to spend on projects they found appropriate. He
explained there was strong interest now among downtown Edmonds merchants and the Chamber of
Commerce in a BID and the $60,000 would be used to fund an election if an election was needed to create
a BID. If a BID was not formed or an election was not needed, the funds would revert back to the
beginning balance or the Council could make another appropriation. He envisioned the funds generated
by the BID could be used to fund the flower baskets or other capital projects such as decorative lighting.
Council President Plunkett asked whether the property owners could form a BID via a petition rather than
an election. City Attorney Scott Snyder offered to review the statute. Community Services/Economic
Development Director Stephen Clifton explained a Business Improvement Area (BIA) was typically
formed by the property owners within a defined area via submitting a petition to the City Council with
60% of the assessed valuation of the properties within the defined area. The process was being explored
and it was unknown whether an election was required. He envisioned the $60,000 as a placeholder in the
event an election was necessary.
Councilmember Dawson was supportive of further exploration regarding the creation of a BID/BIA but
found it unnecessary to allocate $60,000 in the budget when there was not a source and it would simply
come from the ending fund balance. She noted it appeared a vote would not be necessary and if a vote
were required, it would not be a citywide vote at a cost of $60,000. She preferred the Council continue to
explore the concept and not allocate funding at this time. If necessary, the Council could do a budget
amendment next year to provide funds for an election.
Mayor Haakenson asked the amount in the Council Contingency fund for 2009-2010. Ms. Junglov
advised there was $25,000 per year. Mayor Haakenson noted the Council Contingency fund was a
potential source if an election were necessary or as Councilmember Dawson suggested, the funds could
be allocated from the ending fund balance.
Upon further research, Mr. Snyder advised a BIA may be initiated either via a petition from the property
owners or Council resolution which begins a process similar to a local improvement district that includes
hearings, establishment of benefits and a vote of the Council; no election is required.
Packet Page 38 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
December 2, 2008
Page 13
Council President Plunkett expressed support for any area forming an improvement district to tax
themselves. He suggested the Council consider the need for funding when a petition was presented.
Councilmember Wilson recalled the City of Seattle indicated the administration cost of a petition to create
a BID was $8,000 - $10,000. He suggested amending the amount to $10,000.
Council President Plunkett reiterated if an area needed an incentive to create a BID they were unlikely to
succeed; the incentive needed to come from them. The Council would certainly be open to considering
any area that was interested in forming an improvement district and likely allocate necessary funding to
assist with that process.
Councilmember Wambolt agreed with Councilmember Dawson’s comments that the funds were from
ending fund balance anyway and therefore it was not necessary to allocate those funds now.
MOTION FAILED (1-6), COUNCILMEMBER WILSON VOTED IN FAVOR.
Increase Mayor’s travel budget for Washington, DC travel ($6,000).
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM, TO
INCREASE THE MAYOR’S TRAVEL BUDGET AN ADDITIONAL $6,000.
Councilmember Wilson commented the Council had cut $45,000 for the Washington DC lobbyist but
there was tremendous opportunity to acquire funds from Washington DC particularly when some of the
most senior members of the House represent the State of Washington. In light of opportunities for
funding via the fiscal stimulus program, it was appropriate to have Mayor Haakenson represent the City
in Washington DC. This $6,000 would cover two flights for the Mayor and a staff person.
Councilmember Dawson commented it should be the Mayor’s decision regarding the valid use of his
time. Unless Mayor Haakenson was agreeable to going to Washington DC, she did not support adding
this to the budget. Mayor Haakenson responded he was willing to consider traveling to Washington DC
if there was a valid cause to lobby for. Councilmember Dawson anticipated Mayor Haakenson could
make that happen without allocating these funds.
Council President Plunkett recalled previous administrations traveled a great deal; since Mayor
Haakenson has been Mayor, he has not traveled. From that he concluded Mayor Haakenson did not feel it
necessary to travel to Washington DC.
Councilmember Bernheim urged the Council to consider resource conservation when considering long
distance travel particularly with the availability of computers and internet meetings. Mayor Haakenson
commented if the Council identified certain issues that were worthwhile to go to Washington DC to lobby
for and a plan and vision was developed, he would support Councilmembers and travel to Washington
DC. Funds could be identified at that time.
Council President Plunkett pointed out Governor Gregoire had significantly cut the State’s travel budget
and one of his acquaintances who owned an engineering firm with 10 offices had also cut travel.
Councilmember Dawson commented Snohomish County had frozen out of state travel.
Councilmember Wilson explained he proposed the amendment to highlight a deficit on the part of
Edmonds to solicit funds from the federal government whereas several of the surrounding cities gets
funding for infrastructure. He noted Senator Murray writes the federal transportation budget and
Congressman Dicks writes the budget for the interior, but Edmonds would not be taken seriously unless
representatives were in Washington DC. He recognized in times of belt tightening that travel was one of
Packet Page 39 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
December 2, 2008
Page 14
the first things cut. He stated the City needed to develop solicitations at the federal level particularly
since the Council eliminated funding for the federal lobbyist. Without a presence in Washington DC, the
City was leaving money on the table.
Councilmember Wambolt commented this was backward, using a budget allocation to drive strategy
when the strategy should be developed first. He agreed this amount of money could be identified in the
budget without allocating the funds now. Mayor Haakenson agreed other cities such as Lynnwood,
Mukilteo and Mountlake Terrace send a delegation consisting of their Mayor and several
Councilmembers to Washington DC to the League of Cities and they had been successful in obtaining
funds but that was because they had a plan before they went to DC.
MOTION FAILED (1-6), COUNCILMEMBER WILSON VOTED IN FAVOR.
Increase Council travel budget for Washington DC travel ($2,500).
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM, TO
INCREASE THE COUNCIL TRAVEL BUDGET BY $2,500.
Councilmember Wilson noted just as there was value in attending Association of Washington Cities
meetings, there was value in attending the National League of Cities meeting. This amendment would
fund two Councilmembers making one trip to Washington DC in each of the two years.
MOTION FAILED (1-6), COUNCILMEMBER WILSON VOTED IN FAVOR.
Increase Human Resources professional services to explore self-funding health insurance 2009 ($40,000)
and 2010 ($60,000).
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM, TO
INCREASE THE HUMAN SERVICES BUDGET $40,000 IN 2009 AND $60,000 IN 2010 TO
EXPLORE SELF-FUNDING OPTIONS FOR HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS OR OTHER
STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THE ELIMINATION OF AWC’S PLAN A.
Councilmember Wilson explained based on meetings with Ms. Humann and former Administrative
Services Director Dan Clements earlier this year, City employees would lose their current health plan,
there was insufficient staff to undertake the effort to replace the health plan, and the existing staff was
unfamiliar with this topic. He acknowledged Ms. Humann was in the process of developing a plan but he
felt the Council needed to allocate funds toward developing a plan.
Council President Plunkett agreed this was an issue that needed to be addressed. However, he preferred
to wait until the administration presented a plan of action.
For Councilmember Wambolt, Ms. Humann explained staff was aware both insurance plans would be
eliminated in 2012. With labor contracts expiring at the end of 2010, it was appropriate to investigate
replacement plans in 2009 for 2010 negotiations. Since the meeting with Councilmember Wilson in
January, research has been conducted to determine what other cities are doing and she has attended
quarterly Human Resources Directors meetings where this issue has been discussed. It was her
understanding a labor management group would be formed in mid-2009 to determine what type of
benefits employees wanted. For example the current AWC Plan A did not have preventative healthcare, a
benefit many employees wanted. She also wanted to wait and see what AWC would propose to replace
Plan A and Group Health as well as research the market to see what was available. She noted self-
insurance was another option that would be investigated.
Packet Page 40 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
December 2, 2008
Page 15
Council President Plunkett asked whether staff had investigated how much money would be needed to
investigate/review/discover this issue. Ms. Humann answered as of today she had not. Council President
Plunkett asked whether that would be done in the near future. Ms. Humann agreed staff would be
considering it and would be presenting information to the Council along with any funding request.
Councilmember Wilson noted the Council provided direction to staff a year before negotiations were
concluded. If this information was to be included in the 2010 contract negotiations, the analysis needed
to be completed by at least the end of 2009 with regard to the costs in order to provide direction for
contract negotiations. He anticipated Ms. Humann would feel fully supported in this process if the
Council included funds for a consultant in the budget.
Councilmember Dawson commented placeholders were only included in a balanced budget. If the budget
was not balanced and the funds were allocated from the ending fund balance, it was not appropriate to put
a placeholder in the budget. She did not support allocating $100,000 in the budget absent a plan. If there
was a need for an outside consultant, the Council should consider the merits at that time and decide the
amount to be expended.
Councilmember Wilson reiterated the Council first needed to determine what type of city they wanted
Edmonds to be and then seek approval of the voters money to fund that city. He noted the 2009-2010
budget, after the cuts identified by Mayor Haakenson, had an operational surplus of over $320,000. He
noted some of the amendments could be adopted and the Council would still not spend more than the
revenue collected. He concluded the funds in this amendment offered more opportunity to find
significant savings than anything else. He noted one of the reasons there was no plan in place was
because the Human Resources Department was very understaffed.
MOTION FAILED (2-5), COUNCILMEMBERS WILSON AND WAMBOLT IN FAVOR.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WAMBOLT, TO
INCREASE THE HUMAN SERVICES BUDGET BY A TOTAL OF $50,000. MOTION FAILED
(3-4), COUNCILMEMBERS WILSON, WAMBOLT AND OLSON IN FAVOR.
Mayor Haakenson commented the funding was nearly what he proposed for a half-time person in Human
Resources. Councilmember Wilson pointed out a half-time staff person was unlikely to have the same
skill set as a consultant.
Fully fund Crime Prevention
Mayor Haakenson advised the cost center for Crime Prevention was approximately $120,000. The Crime
Prevention Specialist was one of the vacant positions proposed not to be filled, a savings of
approximately $80,000. The Crime Prevention Program is continuing, but the Crime Prevention
Specialist position has not been filled.
Police Chief Al Compaan explained the Crime Prevention Unit had one FTE and two part-time assistants.
Some aspects of the Crime Prevention Program could be maintained with those part-time positions. He
explained one of the mainstays of Crime Prevention was Blockwatch and the former Crime Prevention
Officer was successful in establishing 152 Blockwatches. There is also a cadre of volunteers who
perform the vacation house watch checks. Mayor Haakenson clarified the one full-time position was
eliminated from the budget. If the choice was between a non-commissioned Prime Prevention Officer
versus a commissioned Police Officer position, Chief Compaan would recommend the non-commissioned
Crime Prevention Officer position be cut.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM, TO
ADD $80,000 TO FULLY FUND THE CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAM.

Page 16
Ms. Junglov advised revised Option 1 also cut $20,000 M&O from the position; therefore an additional
$100,000 would be required to fully fund the program.
Councilmember Wilson explained his home was burglarized a few years ago and he heard from citizens
who were burglarized recently. He noted it was impossible to determine whether crime prevention was
successful. This amendment would fund the Crime Prevention Specialist, the key person who
coordinated crime prevention.
Councilmember Dawson noted the Police Department was maintaining this program without filling this
position and has indicated that could continue. She noted without a revenue source, this would unbalance
the budget in the biennium and unless there was a proposal to make a cut elsewhere, she was unable to
support the amendment.
MOTION FAILED (1-6), COUNCILMEMBER WILSON VOTED IN FAVOR.
Fully fund aquatics, fully fund Discovery Program, and fully fund parks maintenance programs
Ms. Junglov confirmed these items were included in budget Option 1. Councilmember Wilson clarified
the reason he included these budget amendments was because he was uncertain which budget option the
Council would select.
The following amendment was suggested by Council President Plunkett:
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PLUNKETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER
WAMBOLT, TO REDUCE THE COUNCIL TRAVEL BUDGET DUE TO THE RETREAT BEING
HELD IN EDMONDS BY $1,600, FROM $4,100 TO $2,500.
Council President Plunkett explained the retreat was originally budgeted to be out of town and would now
be held in Edmonds. There were still funds in the budget for the Council to travel to Snohomish County
meetings, AWC, etc.
MOTION CARRIED (6-1) COUNCILMEMBER WILSON OPPOSED.
Councilmember Wilson referred to the resolution he drafted that committed the Council to going to the
voters in November 2009 with a levy or other revenue options. It was his intent that the resolution would
be included as an amendment to the budget.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BERNHEIM, TO
INCLUDE THE RESOLUTION IN THE BUDGET.
Councilmember Wilson advised the net result of the previously approved cuts and additions was a $6,600
reduction and there was an operating surplus of slightly more than $300,000. He pointed out operational
deficits arose quickly to $500,000 in 2011, $1.1 million in 2012, $1.8 million in 2013 and nearly $2.5 in
2014 and the ending fund balance was eliminated by 2012. For the reasons discussed previously, he
emphasized the City could not continue to provide services without a concerted effort. Although this
budget “stopped the bleeding,” there was a challenge looming because it would be difficult to continue to
provide the current services without a new revenue source.
He read the proposed resolution that resolved that the City Council recognized the ending cash balance
for the City was precariously low; that the City Council has funded the minimum level of service in the
2009-2010 budget demanded by citizens and believes additional cuts risk undermining the City’s public
assets, public safety and sense of community; and that the City Council commits to going to the voters on
Packet Page 42 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes
December 2, 2008
Page 17
the November 2009 ballot with a levy or other revenue option to be approved by the voters to fund City
services such as public safety, parks or other items as deemed necessary in order to alleviate the
precarious nature of the City’s financial status.
Councilmember Wilson noted this resolution committed the Council now, before the politics of the 2009
campaign season, to going to the voters with some funding option. He noted if a levy were passed in
November 2009, the funds would not be available until the end of April 2010. The City would have an
ending fund balance of $1.3 million; the standard was 15% or $5.25 million. He commented running the
City like a business meant managing the cash flow challenges by increasing reserves.
Mayor Haakenson urged the Council not just to consider 2009 and 2010 but to look out 5 years. In 2011
the ending cash balance was $720,000, a $420,000 deficit in 2012 and a $2.2 million deficit 2013. The
only way to solve this was to go to the voters with some type of revenue option.
Councilmember Wambolt commented he would reluctantly support the resolution because there was no
other solution to maintaining City services at the current level. He noted even if there were a special
election for a revenue source that generated $4 million, that would only solve the problem for 1-2 years
because expenses continued to increase at the rate of CPI and the City could only raise property taxes 1%
annually. He noted AWC was sponsoring a measure in the legislature to allow cities to raise property
taxes by the rate of inflation. He also recommended the City reduce their level of expense, possibly the
legislature could facilitate regionalizing some services. He noted the Edmonds School District operated
in five communities for efficiency purposes.
Councilmember Wambolt commented the Regional Fire Authority was said to provide efficiencies for
communities by combining fire service. He suggested there could be efficiencies by combining other
services such as forming one city equivalent to the Edmonds School District - Edmonds, Woodway,
Brier, Lynnwood, and Mountlake Terrace. He recommended that possibility in addition to a levy lid lift
be discussed next year. He noted a tax increase would resolve the City’s problems short term but higher
taxes would force citizens who were unable to pay increased property taxes out of their homes.
Councilmember Bernheim envisioned revenues would be less than projected and expenses would be
higher than anticipated which would compound the budget problems. Rather than commit to doing
something later, he preferred to begin working on it. He was inclined not to support the resolution
although he recognized the inevitability of proposing some type of revenue measure to the voters.
Mayor Haakenson relayed City Attorney Scott Snyder’s advice that a resolution could not be part of the
budget ordinance. It could be a budget note or budget amendment or a separate resolution after the
budget is approved.
Councilmember Dawson expressed support for the resolution as a budget note. She was not comfortable
moving forward with this budget and this level of ending cash balance without having a commitment in
place. With regard to the City’s inability to raise taxes more than 1%, Councilmember Dawson clarified
the voters of Washington State wanted cities to obtain voter approval to raise taxes more than 1% per
year. If the City was unable to sell a revenue increase to fund certain levels of service, Edmonds citizens
must accept that those services would be cut. She noted the City could request additional revenue for
continuing operations, to make investment in parks or facilities or just because inflation increased by
more than 1% per year.
The motion was restated as follows:
TO INCLUDE THE RESOLUTION IN THE BUDGET AS A BUDGET NOTE.
Packet Page 43 of 643
Edmonds City Council Draft Minutes

Page 18
Mayor Haakenson cautioned the Council the timetable for a November 2009 vote required that a plan be
in place by next spring.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Wilson thanked the Council for doing a very good job, particularly making a decision on
the resolution, balancing the budget, and having a frank conversation regarding cuts/investments. Mayor
Haakenson recognized staff, particularly Ms. Junglov for her efforts.
Councilmember Dawson commented although there had been a great deal of complaining regarding how
long this budget process had taken, she envisioned a unanimous adoption of the budget because the
Council worked through the process, took a great deal of public comment, Councilmembers had the
opportunity to present their points of view, and as the economy continued to change, Mayor Haakenson
made additional changes to his proposed budget. Although most would prefer there was a higher ending
cash balance and that taxes did not have to be raised, in the end it was a good process.
Council President Plunkett commented this was his tenth budget and he found it a more collaborative
process than any of the others. He recognized staff for their availability to respond to questions.
THE VOTE ON THE MAIN MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NO. 3711 AS AMENDED
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
6. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
George Whiteside, Shoreline, referred to the removal of the Unocal pier, and although he was glad it
was being cleaned up, he requested the deep end section of the pier be retained due to the impact its
removal would have on sealife. He explained this location was fairly unique, a sandy, high current
substrate that created a tremendous ecosystem supplied by the ebb and flow of the tide. He noted the EIS
recognized that a thriving ecosystem would be removed. He circulated photographs of the sealife, some
of which was not listed in the EIS. He requested the end T-section be retained, noting the environmental
toxins had been removed and there was no overhead danger during low tide.
7. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Haakenson thanked the Council for passing the budget, noting the Council had its work cut out in
2009.
8. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council President Plunkett announced the City Council was accepting applications from qualified
Edmonds residents to be considered for appointment to a vacancy on the Edmonds City Council.
Applications for appointment are available in the office of the City Clerk. The deadline for submitting an
application for appointment is no later than 4:30 p.m. on December 31, 2008 at the City Clerk’s office in
City Hall. Interviews of candidates are scheduled for Tuesday, January 13, 2009 in Council Chambers.
The Council will consider nominations and vote at the January 20, 2009 Council meeting. Only those
people who have submitted applications shall be eligible for nomination. He advised additional
information was available from the City Clerk at 771-0245.
Councilmember Wambolt noted the term of the appointed Councilmember ended in 2009.
Councilmember Bernheim advised he had been monitoring the temperature in the building tonight and it
was 69-70 degrees.

Councilmember Wilson referred to the comments by Mr. Whiteside and asked if there were any options
for retaining the pier. Mayor Haakenson responded Mr. Clifton was working with the State.
Councilmember Dawson thanked the public for the numerous emails, cards and telephone calls she had
received since she announced her resignation. She recalled she applied for a vacancy on the Council
before she was elected and was not appointed. She encouraged members of the public to apply for the
vacancy and run for office, noting it had been a very good experience.
Student Representative Warren commended the Council for the good job they did on the budget.
Council President Plunkett noted the December 16 agenda was quite lengthy in an effort to avoid meeting
the week of Christmas. The only other option was to hold a meeting following Council committee
meetings. He announced a reception in Councilmember Dawson’s honor is scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on
December 16.
9. ADJOURN
With no further business, the Council meeting was adjourned at 10:13 p.m.

Subject Title
Authorization for Mayor to sign a professional services agreement with Herrera Environmental
Consultants for updating the City's Stormwater Comprehensive Plan and Stormwater Management
Program.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Authorize Mayor to sign professional services agreement with Herrera Environmental Consultants.
Previous Council Action
On September 16, 2008, Council authorized Staff to advertise a Request for Qualifications (RFQ)
to update the City's Stormwater Comprehensive Plan and Stormwater Management Program.
Narrative
The City's current Stormwater Comprehensive Plan was written in 2003 and needs to be updated.
The update is primarily needed due to changes in applicable regulations, most notably the Western
Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit (Phase II Permit) issued by the Department of
Ecology in February, 2007. The update also is necessary due to completion of a number of
stormwater projects that were included in the current version and the need to address and prioritize
solutions for new drainage problems. The project will include an evaluation of our current
stormwater rate structure compared to the current and future capital and programmatic needs of
the City’s stormwater management program.
To comply with the permit provisions, this project will institute significant changes to how the
City regulates stormwater runoff from development, redevelopment and construction sites,
including provisions to allow for the use of low impact development techniques. The project will
also develop an entirely new program for proactive illicit discharge detection and elimination as
required by the permit.
Statements of qualifications from six firms were received by the City Engineer in response to the
RFQ. Based on a review of the SOQs and comparison to the selection criteria, three firms were
selected to be interviewed. Following the interviews, Herrera was selected based on their
qualifications and experience as the preferred consultant.
Herrera has successfully performed similar work for the neighboring City of Lynnwood, the City
Packet Page 176 of 643
of Seattle, and Pierce County. Based on the evaluation criteria, their scores were the highest and
their reference checks were positive. In their SOQ, Herrera proposed to partner with the FCS
Group, a firm that Edmonds has worked with for many years on utility rate studies.
Staff and the consultant have agreed on a scope of services and budget for the project. The
negotiated fee for the professional services agreement has been set at a not-to-exceed amount of
$184,633. The 2009 Capital Budget includes $200,000 in Fund 412.200 for the Stormwater
Comprehensive Plan and Stormwater Management Program. A copy of the professional services
agreement is attached.

Finance Committee on 12-09-08.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
The recommendation is for the Council to approve the agenda item authorizing the Mayor to sign
the MEBT Plan document.
Previous Council Action
Council Finance Committee reviewed the documents and recommended that the MEBT Plan
Restatement be moved to the consent ageda for approval.
Narrative
The Municipal Employees' Benefit Trust (MEBT) is the city's Social Security replacement
retirement program that has been in place since 1977, and is authorized by Edmonds City Code.
All regular Edmonds city employees and City Council members are mandatory participants in
MEBT. Contributions based on employee earnings are made by employer and employees at a
level commensurate with Social Security (FICA). The Plan Document is subject to federal law and
Internal Revenue Service approval, and must be periodically reviewed and approved by the IRS.
When the Plan document is comprehensively updated, it is called a "restatement". The last such
restatement was effective January 1, 2006. Due to changes in federal law and IRS regulations, a
restatement is again necessary with an effective date of January 1, 2009. The Edmonds MEBT
Plan Committee has reviewed the draft restatement in conjunction with MEBT legal counsel. The
Plan Committee recommends City Council approval of the MEBT Plan document restatement.

STATE OF WASHINGTON
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATIVE
PURCHASING AGREEMENT FOR
PUBLIC AGENCIES
Pursuant to Chapter 39.34 RCW and to other provisions of law, the State of Washington, Department of General
Administration, Office of State Procurement, Purchasing and Contract Administration, (hereinafter called the “Office of State
Procurement” or “OSP”), and the following named public agency, City of Edmonds (hereinafter called the “Cooperative
member”) hereby enter into this Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement (hereinafter called the “Agreement”),
the purpose of which is for undertaking governmental purchasing activity that each party is authorized by law to perform,
upon the following terms and conditions:
(1) The Cooperative member must be an agency, Cooperative member, or unit of local government of
Washington state including, but not limited to, municipal corporations, quasi-municipal
corporations, special purpose districts, and local service districts; any agency of Washington state
government; any agency of the United States; any Indian tribe recognized as such by the federal
government; and any Cooperative member of another state of the United States.
(2) The Office of State Procurement, in contracting for the purchase of goods and services according
to the laws and regulations governing purchases by and on behalf of the State of Washington,
agrees to contract on behalf of the Cooperative member, to the extent permitted by law and agreed
upon by both parties. The Cooperative member accepts responsibility for compliance with any
additional laws and regulations governing purchases by or on behalf of the Cooperative member.
(3) The Office of State Procurement shall comply with its statutory requirements regarding notice for
bids or proposals for goods or services subject to this Agreement, and shall either post the bid or
solicitation notice on a web site established and maintained by OSP for the purposes of posting
public notice of bid or proposal solicitations, or shall provide an access link on the State of
Washington’s web portal to the notice.
(4) When the Office of the State Procurement has entered into a contractual agreement for the
purchase of goods or services on behalf of Cooperative member (s), the Cooperative member may
purchase goods and services covered by the contract on the same terms and conditions as the State
of Washington, except that the contractor has the right to modify payment terms based on their
credit assessment of the Cooperative member. Purchases by the Cooperative member may be
made by a purchase order issued by the Cooperative member to the state contractor. The
Cooperative member accepts full responsibility for payment for any goods and services it
purchases under contracts negotiated by OSP with private vendors or items it purchases directly
from OSP. The Cooperative member accepts responsibility for contract monitoring related to their
use of these contracts.
(5) The Cooperative member reserves the right to contract independently for the purchase of any
particular class of goods or services, with or without notice being given to OSP.
(6) This Agreement shall be effective on the later of the two signatures dates appearing below, and
shall continue in force until canceled in writing by either party.
1 of 3
Packet Page 393 of 643
(7) In the event that either the Office of the State Procurement or the Cooperative member is
abolished, this Agreement shall continue in operation as to any public agency succeeding to the
powers and duties of the abolished party, except as canceled or modified by operation of law. The
Cooperative member may request a refund of unexpired membership exceeding three months,
which may be approved by OSP at their discretion.
(8) The Cooperative member agrees to use only contracts available to the Cooperative member and
only in accordance with those contract terms and conditions. The Cooperative member further
agrees that all purchases from OSP contracts will be made only for the direct use of the
Cooperative member’s programs (as covered by this agreement) and will not be made on behalf of
other jurisdictions (Cooperative member”).
(9) The Office of State Procurement is required by Chapter 236-49-060 WAC to recover the costs of
administering the state purchasing cooperative program from all its members. The Membership
Fee Schedule below sets forth the fee structure for Cooperative members that are not Washington
State Agencies, which is based on the total expenditures less debt service and interfund transfers,
as reported in the Cooperative member’s last audited financial statements. The Cooperative
member shall be charged a membership fee based upon the self-declaration, as indicated by their
signatory’s initials in the first column of the Membership Fee Schedule below. The Cooperative
member’s self-determined membership fee is subject to change if not validated by OSP during its
subsequent reviews. This membership fee is due upon subscribing for the first year of
membership and by January 31 of the membership cycle. The membership term is January 1st
2008 through December 31st 2009. The Cooperative member agrees to pay the membership fee as
a part of this Agreement. New memberships beginning after June 30 may be prorated and will be
established at the discretion of OSP.
(10) Membership fees are established every two years. The State Auditors’ most recently published
Local Government Comparative Statistics report will be used to verify membership fee. Where a
Cooperative member is not reported separately in that document, audited financial statements as
published in the State Auditors’ Website will be used. The Superintendent of Public Instruction
(OSPI) web site will be used to verify fee issues for School Districts. The most recent audited
financial statement will be used as the authoritative source to resolve any issues regarding the
Annual Membership Fee due from the Cooperative member. .Any Cooperative member not
reported in the OSPI or State Auditor’s Websites, must submit a copy of its most recent audited
financial statements to OSP. When a member does not have audited financial statements, the
member shall provide internal budgets or financial statements to OSP if requested.
(11) In addition to accessing State contracts established by the Office of State Procurement, custom
contracting and procurement services are available for an additional predetermined fee. These
include development of contracts and/or single requisitions that meet specific needs. The cost for
these optional services, typically a flat fee, is established at the time of request.
(12) It is not the intention of the parties, nor shall this Agreement be interpreted, to create a separate
legal entity for the performance of this Agreement. Instead, the Office of State Procurement shall
be responsible for administering this Agreement.
(13) The Cooperative member shall be responsible for filing a copy of this Agreement with its county
auditor’s office.
(14) By its signature below, the Office of State Procurement confirms it approves of this Agreement as
required by RCW 39.34.050 and it is authorized to enter into this Agreement pursuant to RCW
39.34.030 and RCW 39.34.080. Similarly, by its signature below, the Cooperative member
confirms it is authorized to enter into this Agreement pursuant to RCW 39.34.030 and RCW
39.34.080.
(15) PAYMENT and NOTICES: Payment shall be made to OSP at the address given herein. Further,
any notice, demand or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Contract

Stormwater Utility Easement and Agreement for Piping - 10506 235th Place SW

Information
Subject Title
Acceptance of stormwater utility easement and agreement for piping (10506-235th Place SW) with
Ron Steinman.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Council accept and authorize Mayor to sign a stormwater utility easement and agreement for
piping at 10506-235th Place SW with Ron Steinman.
Previous Council Action
None.
Narrative
In 2005, City of Edmonds Public Works crews constructed a storm drainage infiltration system on
235th Place SW (Robbers Roost), in the Southwest Edmonds Drainage Basin. Whenever
infiltration systems are constructed, an overflow is desired. The low point of the infiltration system
aligned with the property at 10506-235th Place SW. Easements were not obtained from the
property owner at that time and, therefore, the overflow system was not constructed.
An opportunity to construct the overflow system became available when the lot was recently
purchased and a subdivision application was submitted to the City by developer Ron Steinman.
During review of the subdivision improvements, the City worked with Mr. Steinman and
reached an agreement for construction of the storm drainage overflow system and dedication of the
system to the City for long term maintenance. The storm drainage overflow system was designed
to outfall to the regional storm facility currently under construction at the Woodway Park
property. Mr. Steinman agreed to accept payment in the sum of $10,635.00 in consideration of the
installation of storm water facilities and the dedication of the utility easement. This cost will be
paid from the 411 Utility fund for stormwater utility operations and maintenance. The Easement
and Agreement for Piping is shown in Attachment 1.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
Registration Committee (Discussion of Properties Ready for Register)
Commissioner Bauer announced that four property owners have returned their consent to be listed on the Edmonds Register
of Historic Places. However, it was discovered that First Congregational Parsonage (610 Dayton Street) was on neither the
Packet Page 412 of 643

State nor National Register, so it must go through a separate review process. The nomination for this property could be
reviewed by the Commission at their December meeting. The remaining three properties have been scheduled on the City
Council’s December 2nd Consent Agenda for final approval.
The Commission discussed historic properties that are owned by the City and the Mayor’s concern that, as the Commission’s
ordinance is currently written, any changes to the properties would require review and approval by the Commission even
though the original structures no longer exist on the sites. Council Member Plunkett indicated he is in the process of
discussing this concern with the Mayor. The Commission emphasized that owners of properties on the Register could opt
out of the program at any point in time. It was discussed that perhaps there should be a separate process for City-owned
properties.
The Commission reviewed each of the applications as follows:
• Parmelee House (1228 – 9th Avenue North). It was noted that this property embodies the distinctive architectural
characteristics of a type, period, style or method of design or construction. Not only is it identified on the National
Register, but the distinct architecture of the home, itself, also meets the qualifications for the Register. In addition to the
exterior of the structure, the National Register has designated the dining room and living room interiors as historic.
• Site of First School in District 15 (233 – 3rd Avenue North). It was noted that while the original structure is no longer
present, this property has historic significance in that it is associated with events that have made a significant contribution
to the broad patterns of local historic and it exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City’s cultural, social,
economic, political, aesthetic, engineering or architectural history. It is also associated with the lives of persons
significant in local history. Only the property would be identified on the Register as historically significant.
• International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) Hall (Reliable Floor Building) (542 Main Street). It was discussed that
this property has historic significance because of its association with events that have made a significant contribution to
the broad patterns of national, state or local history. It also exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City’s cultural,
social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering or architectural history. In addition, the structure embodies the
distinctive architectural characteristics of a type, period, style or method of design or construction. Not only does the
architecture of the structure have historic value, but the specific events that occurred on the site also add value. Nearly
everyone in Edmonds during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s was a member of the IOOF and the first public meetings in
Edmonds were held in this location. The Commission summarized that elements of historic value include the entire
exterior façade, although the windows on the west façade were added later. In addition, the history of events that have
occurred on the site add significant value.
The Commission noted that all three of the properties have already been identified on either the State and/or the National
Registers. Therefore, information explaining why the properties are historically significant is already available.
COMMISSIONER BAUER MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION FORWARD THE NOMINATIONS FOR THE
THREE PROPERTIES TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH A RECOMMENDATION THAT THEY BE APPROVED
FOR INCLUSION ON THE EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. COMMISSIONER ECCLESHAL
SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Commissioner Bauer announced that at the Commission’s next meeting, the Registration Committee may recommend a
different process for nominating properties for the Register. Their goal is to change the process so that owner consent is
obtained earlier in the process.
Education and Outreach Committee
The Commission provided feedback to Commissioner Vogel regarding the two different versions of the draft Commission
newsletter. The Commission agreed that the newsletter could be prepared on a bi-monthly or quarterly basis. They further
agreed it would be appropriate to invite local businesses or groups to sponsor the publication. They briefly discussed the
types of information that could be part of the newsletter. They also discussed the need to update their website early in 2009
to make clear information readily accessible to interested individuals.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
Registration Committee (Discussion of Properties Ready for Register)
Commissioner Bauer announced that four property owners have returned their consent to be listed on the Edmonds Register
of Historic Places. However, it was discovered that First Congregational Parsonage (610 Dayton Street) was on neither the
Packet Page 426 of 643
DRAFT
Historic Preservation Commission Minutes

State nor National Register, so it must go through a separate review process. The nomination for this property could be
reviewed by the Commission at their December meeting. The remaining three properties have been scheduled on the City
Council’s December 2nd Consent Agenda for final approval.
The Commission discussed historic properties that are owned by the City and the Mayor’s concern that, as the Commission’s
ordinance is currently written, any changes to the properties would require review and approval by the Commission even
though the original structures no longer exist on the sites. Council Member Plunkett indicated he is in the process of
discussing this concern with the Mayor. The Commission emphasized that owners of properties on the Register could opt
out of the program at any point in time. It was discussed that perhaps there should be a separate process for City-owned
properties.
The Commission reviewed each of the applications as follows:
• Parmelee House (1228 – 9th Avenue North). It was noted that this property embodies the distinctive architectural
characteristics of a type, period, style or method of design or construction. Not only is it identified on the National
Register, but the distinct architecture of the home, itself, also meets the qualifications for the Register. In addition to the
exterior of the structure, the National Register has designated the dining room and living room interiors as historic.
• Site of First School in District 15 (233 – 3rd Avenue North). It was noted that while the original structure is no longer
present, this property has historic significance in that it is associated with events that have made a significant contribution
to the broad patterns of local historic and it exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City’s cultural, social,
economic, political, aesthetic, engineering or architectural history. It is also associated with the lives of persons
significant in local history. Only the property would be identified on the Register as historically significant.
• International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) Hall (Reliable Floor Building) (542 Main Street). It was discussed that
this property has historic significance because of its association with events that have made a significant contribution to
the broad patterns of national, state or local history. It also exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City’s cultural,
social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering or architectural history. In addition, the structure embodies the
distinctive architectural characteristics of a type, period, style or method of design or construction. Not only does the
architecture of the structure have historic value, but the specific events that occurred on the site also add value. Nearly
everyone in Edmonds during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s was a member of the IOOF and the first public meetings in
Edmonds were held in this location. The Commission summarized that elements of historic value include the entire
exterior façade, although the windows on the west façade were added later. In addition, the history of events that have
occurred on the site add significant value.
The Commission noted that all three of the properties have already been identified on either the State and/or the National
Registers. Therefore, information explaining why the properties are historically significant is already available.
COMMISSIONER BAUER MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION FORWARD THE NOMINATIONS FOR THE
THREE PROPERTIES TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH A RECOMMENDATION THAT THEY BE APPROVED
FOR INCLUSION ON THE EDMONDS REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. COMMISSIONER ECCLESHAL
SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Commissioner Bauer announced that at the Commission’s next meeting, the Registration Committee may recommend a
different process for nominating properties for the Register. Their goal is to change the process so that owner consent is
obtained earlier in the process.
Education and Outreach Committee
The Commission provided feedback to Commissioner Vogel regarding the two different versions of the draft Commission
newsletter. The Commission agreed that the newsletter could be prepared on a bi-monthly or quarterly basis. They further
agreed it would be appropriate to invite local businesses or groups to sponsor the publication. They briefly discussed the
types of information that could be part of the newsletter. They also discussed the need to update their website early in 2009
to make clear information readily accessible to interested individuals.

Amending City Adopted Building Codes re: National Flood Insurance Program
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:12/16/2008
Submitted By:Ann Bullis Time:Consent
Department:Building Type:Action
Review Committee:
Action:
Information
Subject Title
Ordinance amending City adopted building codes ECDC 19.00.005 and 19.05.005 for compliance
with State requirements for the National Flood Insurance Program.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Adopt the proposed ordinance.
Previous Council Action
None
Narrative
Approximately every 3 to 5 years, the City has a Community Assistance Visit (CAV) from the
State Department of Ecology (DOE) to review the City’s floodplain ordinances to insure
minimum compliance with State and Federal floodplain regulations (National Flood Insurance
Program). On May 13, 2008, a DOE Floodplain Management Specialist met with staff and found
that a few changes were needed to our local ordinances to fully comply with the State floodplain
regulations.
In July of 2007 the City adopted the 2006 International Building Code and International
Residential Code, both of which comply with the Federal floodplain regulations, however the State
(RCW 86.16) regulations are more specific and restrictive in a few cases, thus we must amend
ECDC sections 19.00.005 and 19.05.005 accordingly to comply with State law.
Staff submitted the proposed ordinance changes to DOE in advance, and has received
confirmation that these proposed ordinance changes as written, if adopted, will bring the City into
full compliance.
The proposed ordinance changes are shown in bold type on Exhibits A and B.

Narrative
The Edmonds Downtown Parking Committee, composed of City Council, the Police Department,

Add designation:
- North side of James Street, 110 feet west of Second Avenue South, extending 25 feet

service which, as funding becomes available, the City Council will attempt to meet. The City
Council further finds that:
A. The proposed amendment, consisting of the draft plans, is
consistent with the provisions of the Edmonds Comprehensive
Plan and in the public interest;
B. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the
public interest, health, safety or welfare of the City; and

Council, with a request to forward the Plan to the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) for
approval.
Narrative
In 2006, the Washington State Legislature passed the Commute Trip Reduction Efficiency Act
which amended the CTR requirements for local governments in counties experiencing the greatest
automobile-related pollution and traffic congestion. The purpose for the amendments was to
require the local governments to develop and implement plans to reduce single occupancy vehicle
trips.
Each city received a small amount of dollars from the state to do this update. All the cities in
Snohomish County pooled their dollars together and had the County do a boiler plate CTR plan
that each jurisdiction could use. Snohomish County contracted with Perteet, Inc. to prepare the
draft plans. Once the draft was approved by the City Council, the plan was submitted to PSRC for
their approval. PSRC has completed their review and the following four changes have been made
since the last review by the City Council:
- Update Baseline and Goals for 2011 regarding Vehicles Miles Traveled (VMT).
- Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC) requires at least six hours training per year.
- Employers are required to hold at least one annual "Transportation Fair", available to all
employees.
- Added Guaranteed Ride Home Program.
The plan is now ready for City Council final adoption after accounting for the PSRC revisions and
Packet Page 464 of 643
new State guidelines.
The CTR plan (Attachment 1) focuses on reducing drive alone trips and vehicle miles traveled
(VMT) among employees who work for major employers. In Edmonds, there are three employers
who are considered major employers (Stevens Hospital, City of Edmonds and Edmonds Family
Medical Clinic). The plan has set a goal of reducing drive alone trips by 10% and VMT by 13%
for major employers by 2011. The proposed ordinance is provided as Attachment 2.

Commute Trip Reduction Plan
INTRODUCTION
In 1993, the City of Edmonds adopted the Commute Trip Reduction Ordinance (EMC 17.95). The
purpose of this ordinance was to comply with the Commute Trip Reduction Act RCW 70.94.521
adopted by the Washington State Legislature in 1991. This law requires employers of 100 or more
employees who arrive between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. to develop and implement a program to
encourage their employees to reduce vehicle miles traveled and single occupant vehicle trips. In
1997, the CTR Ordinance was later amended to revise the CTR goals.
In 2006, the Washington State Legislature passed the Commute Trip Reduction Efficiency Act
which amended the requirements for local governments in those counties experiencing the
greatest automobile-related air pollution and traffic congestion to develop and implement plans to
reduce single-occupant vehicle trips. This plan has been prepared in accordance with these
revisions to RCW 70.94.521.
The Commute Trip Reduction Plan is a collection of City-adopted goals and policies, facility and
service improvements, and marketing and financial strategies that will help the City make progress
toward reducing drive alone trips and vehicle miles traveled over the next four years. Building
upon the success of the existing commute trip reduction program, the City strives to meet the goals
of the plan for the future by working in partnership and coordination with other agencies and
employers.
The CTR Plan focuses on reducing drive alone trips and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) among
employees that work for major employers. The City has set a goal of reducing drive alone trips by
10% and VMT by 13% for all major employers by 2011. To achieve the goals, the City has
identified the following set of strategies:
• Follow the County’s goal of encouraging employers to locate in city centers.
• Improve system for notification and enforcement of CTR law.
• Develop programs for marketing and education of CTR.
• Develop ETC training programs and guidelines.
• Amend Comprehensive Plan to include CTR Efficiency Act.
• Work with Community Transit to provide transit service to CTR-affected work sites.
• Increase number of vanpools at CTR-affected work sites.
• Work with CTR-affected work sites to provide bicycling and walking amenities.
• Evaluate the feasibility of a car sharing service.
• Work with employers to allow employees to work alternative schedules, when appropriate,
such as a telework program and/or compressed work week program.
• Provide guaranteed ride home program.
• Offer assistance to employers to implement programs.
• Increase management support for CTR program.
• Work with CTR-affected work sites to offer incentives.
• Evaluate the feasibility of a parking cashout program.
• Conduct transportation fairs at CTR-affected work sites.

• Increase networking opportunities among major employers.
Current CTR-affected work sites include the following:
Work Site Address
Edmonds City Hall 121 5th Avenue N
Stevens Hospital 21601 76th Avenue W
Edmonds Family Medicine Clinic 7315 212th Street W
This proposed Plan has been developed through extensive involvement by employers, transit
agencies, organizations and individuals from throughout the City who helped identify strategies and
ways for successful achievement of the goals. This plan helps to support the achievement of the
City’s vision and the goals of its comprehensive plan.
Benefits of the CTR Program to the City of Edmonds
Although the Commute Trip Reduction Program only applies to a few sites in the City of Edmonds,
the CTR program will continue to grow and address a variety of transportation and environmental
issues. Several trends are increasing the value of CTR in Edmonds, particularly as an alternative to
expanding roads and parking facilities. Those trends include:
• Rising facility costs. The cost of expanding highways and parking facilities is increasing. In
many cases it is more cost effective to manage demand than to continue expanding
supply. If the CTR program is successful, it will help reduce the demand on state, regional
and local streets. This in turn helps to reduce the need to expand the roadway system.
• Demographics. As the population becomes older and more mature, it will become more
important to increase the availability of quality travel options for non-drivers. Senior
citizens will be more dependent on transit and non-motorized travel options.
• Energy Costs. Vehicle fuel costs have risen dramatically and are projected to increase in
the future due to depletion of oil supplies and environmental constraints. Rising costs
have increased the demand for non-drive alone travel alternatives. The vanpool market, in
particular, has exceeded demand and there are currently waiting lists for available
vanpools.
• Consumer preferences and market trends. CTR is addressing current consumer
preferences in which more consumers want to live in more multi-modal communities where
it is possible to walk and bicycle safely, use neighborhood services, and have access to
quality public transportation.
• Environmental concerns. CTR helps to address concerns over air pollution, sprawl and
other environmental impacts by reducing the demand for automobiles. Automobiles
comprise 55% of air pollutants. For each car that is taken off the road, there is a
significant benefit to the environment.

Commute Trip Reduction Plan
In summary, the CTR program is a cost-effective program that addresses a number of issues in
Edmonds. Although CTR has been applied to only a few work sites, the program will continue to
grow and expand as solutions are needed to complex transportation and environmental issues.

I. BASELINE ASSESSMENT
Affected CTR Work Sites
The CTR plan focuses on reducing drive alone trips and vehicle miles traveled at CTR-affected
work sites. A CTR-affected work site is a site that contains 100 or more employees that arrive at
the site between 6 and 9 a.m. Under the CTR ordinance, there are three affected work sites in the
City of Edmonds. Those work sites include the following:
Work Site Address
Edmonds City Hall 121 5th Avenue N
Stevens Hospital 21601 76th Avenue W
Edmonds Family Medicine Clinic 7315 212th Street W
The attached map of the jurisdiction shows the locations of the CTR work sites (see Appendix A).
Major Issues Regarding Land Use and Transportation Conditions Around CTR Work Sites
The City of Edmonds conducted a review of land use and transportation conditions at each of its
CTR-affected work sites. Described below are the existing and planned conditions for the work
sites.
Packet Page 471 of 643
City of Edmonds 5 November 2008

Edmonds City Hall - 121 5th Avenue N, Edmonds, WA
Existing and planned land use conditions: Edmonds City Hall is located in Downtown Edmonds,
where land uses include retail, office and residential
development. This area is zoned as Community
Business.
No land use changes are planned for this area. The
downtown area is proposed in the comprehensive
plan as "Fountain Square" and as a downtown area
with mixed commercial.
Existing and planned transportation
facilities:
The work site is served by a number of excellent
transportation facilities, including sidewalks, a street
network, and access to transit and ferry services.
Edmonds Way, a major arterial, and 5th Ave South, a
secondary arterial both lead to the city hall area from
the south. In addition, Main Street leads into the
downtown area from Hwy 99.
Non-motorized improvements are planned for 5th
Street and Main Street. There are plans to improve
downtown parking as well.
Existing and planned transit services and
facilities:
The site is served by a number of routes operated by
Community Transit. Community Transit buses serve
downtown Edmonds via one commuter route, one
Univeristy of Washington route and five local routes.
There is a Sounder commuter rail station in
downtown also. The Washington State Ferry system
has a dock in Edmonds that serves Kingston. A
transit center and park and ride lot is located nearby
the work site. In addition to transit services,
Community Transit also offers vanpool and ride
matching services.
Existing parking conditions:
Parking is free for employees and visitors and there
are no apparent capacity constraints at this work site.

Existing and planned land use conditions: These work sites are located in the SR 99 activity
corridor and in an area zoned for Medical Use and
surrounded by General Commercial and Multi-Family
uses. The surrounding area includes medical offices,
small businesses and auto-oriented uses.
The Comprehensive Plan proposes the same uses;
however, there are plans to create a hospital
community and family retail center in the area of
Stevens Hospital. In addition, there are plans to
improve connectivity for pedestrians between SR-99
and the neighborhoods to the west. There are also
plans to improve buffering between SR-99 and multi-
family and mixed use neighborhoods and the single
family neighborhoods.
Existing and planned transportation
facilities:
The work sites are served by a well developed street
network. SR 99 is located nearby. Sidewalks exist
on major arterials. A bikeway route exists on SR 99.
The hospital is two blocks from Hwy 99, bounded by
212th Street, 220th Street, 76th Ave West, and 66th
Ave West.
There are plans to improve non-motorized
transportation facilities such as the Interurban Trail
and to implement safety improvements on SR 99/
76th Ave W.
Existing and planned transit services and
facilities:
The site is served by two Community Transit routes
and additional routes neaby via SR-99. In addition to
transit services, Community Transit offers vanpool
and ride matching services. The Edmonds park and
ride lot is also located near the work site.
The City has planned improvements for SR 99 which
include widening the corridor to accommodate a
transit lane. Bus Rapid Transit service is planned for
the SR 99 corridor. The city also plans to provide
interconnected development, develop mixed use area
served by transit and accessible to pedestrians, and
improve pedestrian and bicyclist access.

Commute Trip Reduction Plan
Supporting Comprehensive Plan Policies
The City conducted a review of its current Comprehensive Plan to identify policies that support the
Commute Trip Reduction program. The most current version of the City of Edmonds
Comprehensive Plan was adopted in December 2006. The most current version of the City of
Edmonds Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2001. The
most current version of the City of Edmonds Transportation Element was adopted in 2002.
Key policies that support CTR include the City’s goals for its Downtown Waterfront Activity Center.
The plans implement the Edmonds Crossing multimodal transportation center at Point Edwards
which will provide convenient transportation connections for bus, ferry, rail, auto, pedestrians, and
bicycle riders.
The City’s policies support pedestrian-oriented streetscape environment for residential and
commercial activity. It also encouraged mixed-use development patterns that provide a variety of
commercial and residential opportunities, including both multi-family and small lot single family
residences.
The City’s Transportation Plan includes Transportation Demand Management strategies. These
strategies include offering transit service, carpool and vanpool ridematching services, walkways
and bikeways, and high occupancy vehicle lanes.
Supporting Transit Plan Policies
Community Transit updated its Transit Development Plan for 2007-2012. The Plan includes a
discussion of regional growth, transportation demand, and the role of transit in maintaining
concurrency (adequate capacity to serve demand). A key element of the plan consist of maps
identifying “transit emphasis corridors” where Community Transit supports a substantial future
investment in public transit service and amenities. The goal in identifying all the corridors (both
existing and future) is twofold, to help focus service planning and prioritization for Community
Transit and to provide some surety of planning for road authorities and local jurisdictions.
In many cases (SR-99, 164th Street SW, I-5, etc), the corridors are already well-served by high-
frequency transit service. Many CTR-affected work sites are located on these corridors. Other
corridors, such as SR-9 or 128th Street SW, may have lower or no existing service, but are
identified as critical transportation links with significant future transit demand.
Planning Coordination and Cross Boundary Issues
The Commute Trip Reduction plans in Snohomish County were coordinated between the Cities of
Arlington, Marysville, Mukilteo, Mountlake Terrace, Monroe, Everett, Bothell, Lynnwood, Edmonds
and Unincorporated Snohomish County. Between October 2006 and June 2007, representatives
from the CTR-affected jurisdictions met on a regular basis to coordinate their CTR plans.
Discussions were also held with the Puget Sound Regional Council to coordinate with jurisdictions
Packet Page 477 of 643
City of Edmonds 11 November 2008
Commute Trip Reduction Plan
of other counties within the region. CTR-affected jurisdictions in Snohomish County worked
together on various CTR issues and agreed to do the following items:
• Developed a consistent framework for preparing the CTR plans.
• Pooled resources together to hire a consultant to prepare the draft CTR plans for all CTR-
affected jurisdictions.
• Prepared common strategies for achieving the CTR goals.
• Prepared a joint financial plan for implementing the CTR plans.
• Agreed to contract with Community Transit to administer the entire CTR program for
Snohomish County.
CTR-affected jurisdictions also compared their Comprehensive Plan policies and tried to identify
any inconsistencies that would affect their CTR plans. Many of the goals and policies of the CTR-
affected jurisdictions are consistent with each other and the Puget Sound Regional Council Vision
2020. All of the CTR-affected jurisdictions in Snohomish County contain policies that support CTR
which include encouraging multi-modal transportation systems in coordination with other
jurisdictions, providing the public with choices for alternative modes of travel that get them to their
destination conveniently and in acceptable time periods.
CTR-affected jurisdictions also discussed cross boundary issues that occur in Snohomish County.
Because of Snohomish County’s close proximity to the job and commercial centers of King County,
there are a number of travelers who make trips between Snohomish County and King County. The
main cross boundary issue that affects the local CTR plan is the issue of transit services from
Bothell, Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace to destinations in King County.
While there appears to be sufficient transit available from Everett and Lynnwood with the University
of Washington, Seattle, and east King County communities, shorter, more local trips between south
Snohomish County and north King County can be difficult. Because transit in the two counties are
operated under different transit systems, bus riders from King County traveling to Snohomish
County must typically transfer which can discourage commuters from using transit.

II. and III. BASELINE AND GOALS FOR 2011
The goal of the Edmonds CTR plan is to reduce drive alone trips by 10% and vehicle miles traveled
by 13% at CTR-affected work sites. The base rates have been determined using the most recent
CTR survey data. At the time that this plan was prepared, survey data from 2005 was used to
prepare the base rates.
The overall goals and target rates for Edmonds have been calculated by aggregating the CTR work
sites in Edmonds. The tables below show the base rate, goal and target rates.

IV. STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING GOALS AND TARGETS
Potential Actions for the Jurisdiction to Eliminate Barriers
The City of Edmonds performed an assessment of different strategies that could be implemented
that would help eliminate barriers for reducing drive alone trips and vehicle miles traveled. The
following potential actions were identified as strategies that will help the City achieve its 2011 goal:
• Transit:
Transit ridership among CTR-affected work sites is low, the City will continue to
work with Community Transit to increase transit ridership at CTR-affected work
sites by increasing awareness of transit services and working with employers to
offer transit subsidies.
Community Transit prepared an update to its Six-Year Transit Development Plan.
A key element of the plan consists of “transit emphasis corridors” where
Community Transit supports a substantial future investment in public transit
service and amenities. Many of the CTR-affected work sites are located along
these corridors.
Transit services will be improved within the county. Community Transit is planning
for Bus-Rapid Transit along Highway 99. This bus service could potentially help
reduce commute trips for employers that are located near the SR 99 corridor such
as Stevens Hospital.
• Parking:
To increase the percentage of commuters using transit, vanpool, carpool and non-
motorized forms of transportation, the City will work with CTR employers to
implement a parking management program, such as parking cashout and
employee paid parking. The County will also implement its Comprehensive Plan
policies on parking management.
The City will review the development code for parking requirements that
discourage single-occupancy vehicle use.
• Local Networking Opportunities:
To increase opportunities for ridesharing and creating partnerships between
employers, the City will create local networking opportunities for affected
employers. Local networking with other CTR-affected employers will offer
opportunities to discuss CTR and transportation issues, conduct joint promotions,
and offer coordinated programs that can benefit their employees.
• Land Use
Packet Page 480 of 643
City of Edmonds 14 November 2008
Commute Trip Reduction Plan
The City will implement its current land use policies that encourage the
development of Centers. Employers will be encouraged to locate in the Centers
where higher levels of services, such as transit, non-motorized and TDM programs
are offered. Higher densities will be allowed which will help increase transit and
ridesharing activities.
• Employer Assistance
To help CTR-affected work sites achieve their goals, the City will continue to
provide assistance to employers with implementing their programs. The city will
help promote CTR programs at work sites through transportation fairs and
preparing public information materials.
• Management Support and ETC training
The City will work with major employers and business organizations to increase
support for CTR programs. It will also develop guidelines for Employee
Transportation Coordinators and provide training to help them implement their
programs.

City of Edmonds 15 November 2008
Commute Trip Reduction Plan
Planned Strategies for the Jurisdiction to Eliminate Barriers
Based on the feasibility of implementing various strategies, the following strategies are planned
that will help the CTR-affected work sites make progress towards their 2011 goal. These
strategies will be performed in coordination with other Snohomish County cities, Community
Transit, Everett Transit and other partners.
Strategy Description
Policies and Regulations
Implement Concept of Centers
In the City of Edmonds, future growth in population
and employment are targeted to designated
centers where increased use of transit, parking
management, bicycling, and walking can be
supported.
Employer Notification and
Enforcement
This program would improve the system of
requiring new CTR-affected employers and
existing CTR-affected employers to notify their
jurisdiction about program changes.
ETC Training and Guidelines
Employer Transportation Coordinators (ETCs) are
essential for a successful CTR program. Their job
duties should include coordination of annual fairs,
conducting promotions, distributing information,
notifying the jurisdiction about program changes,
and reporting employee numbers. Guidelines and
training should be provided to ETCs to assist them
with their duties. Employers should provide them
with the time and support to be successful.
Review Parking Policies
The City will review the development code for
parking requirements that discourage single-
occupancy vehicle use.
Amend Comprehensive Plan to
include language about the CTR
Efficiency Act
The City should review its Comprehensive Plan
and add new policies to correspond with its CTR
plan, if necessary.
Services and Facilities
Transit Services
Community Transit will continue to provide transit
services to CTR work sites, where service is
currently available. Community Transit will make
service enhancements based on its updated Six-
Packet Page 482 of 643
City of Edmonds 16 November 2008
Commute Trip Reduction Plan
Strategy Description
Year Transit Development Plan. Among the
planned improvements, Community Transit is
planning for a Bus-Rapid Transit Corridor that will
link major urban centers and provide additional
vanpools across the county, as needed.
Vanpool Services
Community Transit will target adding 25 new vans
county-wide in 2008.
Carpool Services
The City will continue to encourage carpooling and
use of www.rideshareonline.com to assist in ride
matching services.
Bicycling and Walking Amenities
The City will work with major employers to
encourage the provision of amenities such as bike
lockers, access to shower facilities and changing
facilities to increase usage of non-motorized
transportation.
Telework Program
The City will work to create a telework education
program that would educate employers on how to
implement telework at their work site, if applicable.
The program includes education on human
resource policies and information technology
assistance to allow employees to work from home.
Car Sharing Service
The City will evaluate the market for a car sharing
service, such as Flexcar, near CTR sites.
Alternative and Flexible Schedules
The City will work with employers to encourage
them to offer alternative and flexible work
schedules for their employees, including
compressed work weeks.
Guaranteed Ride Home
This program will provide a limited number of rides
to non-drive alone participants from their work site
to their home in the case of an emergency.
Employer Assistance
The City will provide assistance to affected
employers to help them meet the requirements of
the CTR Efficiency ACT and implement their
programs.
Marketing and Incentives
Management Support
The City will work with CTR work site managers
and owners to educate them about the benefits of
CTR to their organizations.
Packet Page 483 of 643
City of Edmonds 17 November 2008
Commute Trip Reduction Plan
Strategy Description
Subsidies
The City will encourage employers to offer subsidy
programs to persuade employees to shift to non-
drive alone commute modes. Examples include
six-months of free vanpool participation, transit
pass subsidies, and a one-time payment or gift
card for starting a carpool.
Parking Management
Employers are encouraged to charge employees
for parking or allow their employees to receive
cash for their parking spot if they choose to not
use their parking space, which could be used
toward transit costs or vanpool costs.
Marketing and Education
This program would expand education efforts to
CTR employees about alternative commuting
including workshops, information brochures, and
advertising.
Transportation Fairs
The City will work with Community Transit and
major employers to conduct on site promotions,
transportation fairs, and challenges to increase
awareness and use of commute alternatives.
Networking Opportunities
The City will work with the major employers to
create networking opportunities to discuss CTR
issues, coordinate ridesharing programs, and
conduct joint promotional efforts.

elements:
Required Element Description
Designate Employee
Transportation
Coordinator
The Employee Transportation Coordinator is the point of contact on-
site between the employer and its workforce to implement, promote
and administer the organization’s CTR program. He/she is also the
point of contact between the employer and the local jurisdiction to track
the employer’s progress in meeting CTR requirements
Affected employers will be responsible for providing adequate training
for the ETC, allow the ETC to attend networking meetings, and provide
ETCs with the necessary time to administer the program.
Regular Distribution of
Information to
Employees
Information about commute alternatives will be distributed at least
twice a year to employees.
One of the items distributed must be a description of the employer’s
worksite program.
Examples of information that may be distributed include:
•
• Transit system maps and schedules
• Vanpool rider alerts
• Weekly traffic alerts
• Wheel Options campaign promotional materials
CTR Reporting
The employer is required to complete the Employer Report and
Program Description Form and submit to the local jurisdiction. The
CTR law requires that the employer will conduct a program evaluation
to determine work site progress toward meeting the CTR goals every
two years. However, the jurisdiction may have a more stringent
requirement.
CTR Survey Biennially, the CTR affected employers shall distribute and collect
Commute Trip Reduction Program Employee Questionnaires (surveys)
to achieve at least a 70 percent response rate.

• More parking
• Many carpools – commuters from farther distance
• Different workshifts – carpools as opposed to transit
• Vanpool – co-workers become friends
• Save time and money
• Depends on how big the organization is
• Honor employees who participate – newsletter, carpool parking
(consideration to employee needs and what they feel they are losing by not driving alone)
• Need community awareness (outside company) – more marketing
• Internal matching system (online)
How do you get management support regarding incentives?
• Quarterly drawings for MC gift cards
• “Carpooler of the Quarter” closer to the door

o When do companies have a shift change
• Everett Transit – start shift at 5:30 am and 1 mile away from bus stop, but no service
available that early
• Walkers/bicyclists – during promotions want to go to lunch at home
• Manufacturing – very early and later in the afternoon – transit and up north
• Have CTR in the HR department but many HR departments do not have time (for example:
in the City)
• Management support in allowing time for ETC’s to be able to do their job
o State support grants
o *letters from state and jurisdiction to president of company or other management
o Offer incentives to companies that meet goals or benchmarks
• CTR coordinators be kept continually informed
o Regular meetings that draw in managers
• *Charts and graphics that show CTR benefits to their company (i.e., increase in
commuters from year to year) that ETC’s can fill in and show their management
• Get managers aware of program - engage them
• Have jurisdiction go to:
o Chamber of commerce meetings
o Make personal appearance to CEOs
o Not get them with a letter
o Go to City Council meetings
• Awareness of TRPP grants and application process
• Need new ideas to increase participation

Meeting Minutes – South County Employer Workshop
Bothell Seattle Times Building
Bothell Employers
January 30, 2007
What is the primary form of transit (non-SOV travel) used by employees in your organization?
• Carpool
• Vanpool
• Transit
• Bike, walk
What are some suggestions from Bothell Employers to CT?
• Distribute a list of vanpools from CT that includes the list of stops by neighborhood and
city.
• Provide training for http://www.rideshareonline.com/
• Provide monthly reoccurring training so that if you can’t make it you know that it will be
offered again soon.
• Provide a web blog for ETCs, like the free http://www.blogger.com/start
• Melina needs help finding out how to set up carpooling and vanpooling.
• Need a more user friendly and local based site than http://www.rideshareonline.com/
• Try to coordinate ETCs from the same office park so they can coordinate carpools and
vanpools together.
• Share ETC information between ETCs regionally
• A proposed shuttle from the CP P&R to Canyon Park sparked interested with some of the
employers
• Try to use principles of Redmond’s R-Trip Program
• Have brownbag lunches for training and information sharing
• Need better coordination between CT and ST
• Training on how to implement telework (costs, technology needs, etc)
What are some ideas from CT to Employers?
• Have people who are HOV, register with you so that they are guaranteed a ride home
through the CT program.
• CT can create a zip-code map of where employees live to help employers organize
vanpools and carpools.
• ETCs should email employees to ask who is interested in carpooling or vanpooling and
send the names and addresses to CT, who will find carpools and vanpool for the
employees.
What are the things that work for employers?
• SNC provides a list of bus routes, schedules, and maps on their intranet for employees
• Need a contact person for new employees to distribute information and help them find an
HOV route to work
Packet Page 511 of 643
• Use non-monetary incentives for people to participate in the program such as offering an
additional “casual dress day” at work.
• Create company-specific CTR marketing materials that combine information from CT and
specific company promotions.
• Extend bike to work month throughout the summer and provide company prize or
incentives for winning rider or team.
• Provide an initial incentive for trying non-SOV modes of transportation, but possibly not a
long-term incentive. Examples include $50/mo subsidy for first 6 months of vanpooling or 1
free monthly bus pass.
What are the problems for employers?
• About 2/3 of the employers have a second and/or third shift.
• There are not many restaurants or other services in the office parks, so people feel they
have to drive to get lunch and run errands.
• Bus service to Canyon Park is not frequent enough and there isn’t a good connection from
the park and ride to employer sites.
What is the benefit of the CTR program for Employers?
• CTR is an incentive
• Makes employees happier if they aren’t stuck in traffic
• Retains employees if they have a good commute
What types of things would employers like to see in the GTEC?
• Sidewalks or bike lanes for bikes and pedestrians.
• More frequent bus service from Canyon Park to North Creek and Downtown
• Subsidies for employees using GTEC money or other grant money
What are some of the benefits and incentives?
• TetraTech Flexpass provided by employer. Contract between County and Company
• Limited parking
• $2 per day (or $40 per month) for using alternative modes of transportation which has to
be filled out daily
• $50 voucher – better than $2 per day
• Comcast tried a pilot program of 12 people to work from home and they loved it. Lisa
Fiser’s company is also thinking of trying this too
• Monroe working on walk/bike program
What are some of the challenges?
• Record keeping. Hard to collect data requested by agencies to track CTR. People don’t
respond to emails, etc. People are guessing and then when ETC’s change, guesses
change – then looks like program is failing.
• Require people to turn in form to manager if turning it in within 5 days then eligible for a
drawing. Then follow up and pick up remaining forms from people who didn’t turn them in.
• Email will work better from some or an on-line survey.
Packet Page 512 of 643
What are some of the other issues?
• There is an online survey offered by CT that goes straight to WSDOT. Need a little training
for ETCs to use this.
How can local jurisdictions and CT help you meet your 10% red goal in next 4 years (ordinances,
etc.)?
• Added services – transit.
• Comcast interested in putting in a cafeteria so employees don’t have to drive at lunch to
other side of highway to get lunch. Any incentives?
• Schedule transit fair – CT will come and help plan trips and talk to people about options.
• Mandatory ETC training to get updates on new codes, annual reporting / increased
reporting requirements.
• Best Practices Quarterly Email Newsletter by CT – networking opportunities.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS AND POLICIES ANALYSIS
The following table provides a list of example comprehensive plan goals and policies that are
supportive of CTR. These Comprehensive Planning Policies were provided in the CTR Planning
Handbook as examples of the types of policies that if adopted by local jurisdictions, will bring their
Plan into compliance with both the CTR Law and GMA. Each jurisdiction will have different sets of
policies that support CTR in various Comprehensive Plan elements based on the jurisdiction’s size,
density, and number of urban centers.
The left hand column shows the list of example policies and goals. The right hand column identifies
the specific policies that the jurisdiction has in place relating to the recommended goals and
policies in the left hand column.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Packet Page 524 of 643
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Affected Employee: Under the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) law, an affected employee is a
full-time employee who regularly begins work between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m., at a single work site, on
two or more weekdays for at least 12 continuous months.
Affected Employer: An employer is “affected” under the CTR law if there are at least 100
“affected” employees at a single work site.
Alternative Work Schedules: AWS programs offer alternatives to the typical eight-hour work day.
Options include flex-time, a compressed work week, and staggered work hours.
Automobile Dependency: Transportation and land use patterns that result in high levels of
automobile use and limited transportation alternatives. In this case, “automobile” includes cars,
vans, light trucks, SUVs and motorcycles
Base Year: The CTR law requires affected employers to measure the results of their employee
trip program against base year values for VMT and drive alone vehicles. The goal year is 2011.
Bus Rapid Transit: Special lanes dedicated to transit buses, often incorporating other features to
insure high quality transit service.
Carpool: Two to six people age 16 and older, sharing the ride in an automobile to and from the
work place.
Commute: The trip made by an employee between their home and work locations, regardless of
the distance or mode used.
Compressed Work Week: A work week that is compressed from the typical five-day, 40 hour work
week into a shorter work week but maintaining the same number of hours.
Commute Trip Reduction Program: A CTR program is comprised of strategies used by an
employer to reduce employee use of single-occupant vehicles (SOVs) and the vehicle miles
traveled (VMT) per employee. The CTR program specifies the measures to be used that will
achieve the target goals.
Drive Alone Vehicles: A vehicle that is occupied by one person.
Employee Transportation Coordinator: The CTR law requires employers to appoint an
employee transportation coordinator, or ETC. The person is a personal change agent who
provides the “human touch” needed to remedy traffic congestion and air pollution problems. An
ETC is the organization’s key contact person providing commuting information to employees and
liaison activities with transit agencies and local jurisdictions. The ETC creates marketing
strategies, administers employee ridesharing programs, and measures results.
Packet Page 525 of 643
Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH): GRH programs provide an emergency ride home for employees
who commute to work in a ridesharing mode and have an illness or emergency. Typically, an
employee can take a cab ride home and charge the ride to their employer’s account or be
reimbursed for the expense.
High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV): a passenger vehicle carrying more than a specified minimum
number of passengers. HOVs include carpools, vanpools, and buses. HOV requirements are often
indicated as 3+ (three or more passengers required) or 4+ (four or more passengers required).
HOV Lane: This is a traffic lane limited to carrying high occupancy vehicles (HOVs) and certain
other qualified vehicles.
HOT Lanes (High Occupancy Toll Lanes): HOV facilities that allow lower occupancy vehicles,
such as solo drivers, to use the facility if they pay a toll. This offers users three options: drive alone
on an unpriced but congested general purpose lane, drive alone and pay to use a less congested
lane, or rideshare (carpool, vanpool or ride transit) to use a less congested lane without any
additional fee.
Mobility: The movement of people and goods.
Mobility Management (Also called Transportation Demand Management): Various strategies that
change travel behavior (how, when and where people travel) in order to increase transport system
efficiency and achieve specific objectives such as reduced traffic congestion, road and parking cost
savings, increased safety, improved mobility for non-drivers, energy conservation and pollution
emission reductions.
Nonmotorized Transportation (also known as Active Transportation and Human Powered
Transportation) includes Walking, Bicycling, Small-Wheeled Transport (skates, skateboards, push
scooters and hand carts) and Wheelchair travel.
Parking Management: Strategies aimed at making better use of available parking supply. Parking
management strategies include preferential parking or price discounts for carpools and/or short-
term parkers, and disincentives, prohibitions and price supplements for those contributing more to
congestion.
Parking Pricing: Strategy to reduce automobile use by requiring motorists to pay directly for using
parking facilities. Time variable parking pricing can be used as a congestion reduction strategy.
Parking Cash-Out: This means that people (typically commuters, and sometimes residents of
multi-family housing) who are offered a free parking space are also offered the cash equivalent
when they use alternative transportation modes and so do not impose parking costs.
Ridesharing: Ridesharing is any cooperative effort of two or more people sharing a motor vehicle
traveling to a common destination, such as a work site. Carpools and vanpools are common forms
of ridesharing.
Packet Page 526 of 643
Smart Growth: Land use development practices that create more resource efficient and livable
communities, with more accessible land use patterns, an alternative to sprawl.
Sprawl: Dispersed, low-density, single-use, automobile dependent land use patterns.
Stakeholder: Individuals or groups that are affected by a decision and have an interest in its
outcome.
Teleworking: Teleworking involves the use of telephones, computers, and other technology to
work from a location other than a conventional office.
Transportation Demand Management (TDM): Various strategies that change travel behavior
(how, when and where people travel) in order to increase transport system efficiency and achieve
specific objectives such as reduced traffic congestion, road and parking cost savings, increased
safety, improved mobility for non-drivers, energy conservation and pollution emission reductions.
Also called Mobility Management.
Transportation Management Association (TMA): A TMA is a partnership or organization that
brings interested parties together to work on transportation issues.
Vanpool: A vanpool consists of seven to fifteen people sharing their commute in a passenger van,
generally riding to the same place of employment.
Vehicle Miles Traveled: Number of miles a vehicle has traveled for a commute.

twelve months, that employer is no longer a major employer. It is the responsibility of the employer to
notify the city that it is no longer a major employer.
2. If the same employer returns to the level of one hundred or more affected employees within the
same twelve months, that employer will be considered a major employer for the entire twelve months, and
will be subject to the same program requirements as other major employers.
3. If the same employer returns to the level of one hundred or more affected employees twelve or
more months after its change in status to an unaffected employer, that employer shall be treated as a new
major employer, and will be subject to the same program requirements as other new major employers.
E. Requirements for Employers. Major employers are required to make a good faith effort as defined in
RCW 70.94.531 and this chapter, to develop and implement a CTR program that will encourage its
employees to reduce VMT per employee and drive-alone commute trips. The CTR program must include
the mandatory elements described below that are necessary to achieve the CTR goals incorporated into
this chapter. The employer shall submit a description of its program to the city and provide an annual or
biannual progress report to the city on employee commuting and progress toward meeting the SOV goals.
F. CTR Program Description Requirements. The CTR program description presents the strategies to be
undertaken by an employer to achieve the commute trip reduction goals. The goals are stated in the city’s
CTR plan. Employers are encouraged to consider innovative strategies and combine program elements in
a manner that will best suit their location, site characteristics, business type, and employees' commuting
needs. Employers are further encouraged to cooperate with each other and to form or use transportation
management organizations (TMOs) in developing and implementing CTR programs.
G. Description of Employer's CTR Program. At a minimum, the employer's description must include:

transportation coordinator (ETC) to administer the CTR program. The coordinator's name, location, and
telephone number must be displayed prominently at each major work site.. The coordinator shall oversee
all elements of the employer's CTR program and act as liaison between the employer and the city. A
major employer with multiple sites may have one transportation coordinator for all sites. The employer

distributed and the method of distribution.
3. Annual or Biannual Progress Report. The CTR program must include an annual or biannual
review of employee commuting and of progress and good faith efforts toward meeting the SOV and VMT
reduction goals. Determination of annual or biannual reporting requirement is dependent on worksite
commute trip reduction performance and the city will advise the major employer of required report
frequency. Major employers shall file an annual or biannual progress report with the city in accordance
with the format established by this chapter and consistent with the CTR Board guidelines. The report shall
describe each of the CTR measures that were in effect for the previous year, the results of any commuter
surveys undertaken during the year, and the number of employees participating in CTR programs. Within
the report, the employer should evaluate the effectiveness of the CTR program and, if necessary, propose
modification to achieve the CTR goals. Survey information or approved alternative information must be
provided every two years after program implementation begins.
4. Biannual Survey or Measurement. In addition to the specific program baseline measurement,
employers shall conduct a program evaluation as a means of determining worksite progress toward
meeting CTR goals. As part of the program evaluation, the employer shall distribute and collect
Commute Trip Reduction Program Employee Questionnaires (surveys) at least once every two years, and
achieve a 70 percent response rate from employees at the worksite.
5. Annual Worksite Promotion of Employer CTR Program. Major employers will hold at least
one annual “transportation fair” or equivalent promotion which is available to all employees at each
affected worksite.
6. ETC Training. ETC will be required to attend an ETC basic training session within six
months of appointment.

there are proposed changes to their CTR program, changes in ETC or contact information, and/or changes
in number of employees at the worksite.
8. ETC Networking/Advanced Training. ETCs will be required to attend at least six hours of
networking or advanced training per year. Training and networking sessions may include marketing CTR
programs to employees, trip planning, ridesharing, joint promotions and networking meetings.

requirements as part of the employer's CTR program.
K. Schedule and Process for CTR Reports.
1. CTR Program. Not more than ninety days after the adoption of the ordinance codified in this
chapter, or within ninety days after an employer becomes subject to the provisions of this chapter, the
employer shall develop a CTR program and shall submit to the city a description of that program for
review.
2. CTR Annual Progress Reports. Upon review of an employer's initial CTR program, the city
shall establish the employer's annual reporting date, which shall not be less than twelve months from the
day the program is submitted. Annually or biannually on the employer's reporting date, the employer shall
submit to the city the annual or biannual CTR report.
3. Document Review. The city shall provide the employer with written notification within thirty
days if a CTR program was approved or deemed unacceptable.
4. Requirements. Initial program descriptions will be deemed acceptable if:
a. All required information on the program description form is provided; and
b. The program description includes the following information:
i. Name, location and telephone number of the employee transportation coordinator for
each work site;

the applicable goal.
5. Annual Reports. Annual reports will be deemed acceptable if the annual report form is
complete and contains information about implementation of the prior year's program elements and
proposed new program elements and implementation schedule. Annual reports must also contain a review
of employee commuting and report of progress toward meeting SOV goals.
6. Acceptance. The notification must give cause for the rejection. The employer shall have thirty
days to resubmit a modified program. If the employer receives no written notification of extension of the
review period for the CTR program or comment on the CTR program or annual report within ninety days
of submission, the employer's program or annual report is deemed accepted. The city may extend the
review period up to ninety days. The implementation date for the employer's CTR program will be
extended an equivalent number of days.
L. Modification of CTR Program Elements. Any major employer may request that the city allow the
modification of CTR program elements, other than the mandatory elements specified in this chapter,
including record keeping requirements. Such request may be granted if one of the following conditions
exist:
1. The employer can demonstrate it would be unable to comply with the CTR program elements
for reasons beyond the control of the employer;
Packet Page 537 of 643
{BFP708555.DOC;1/00006.900000/} - 11 -
2. The employer can demonstrate that compliance with the program elements would constitute an
undue hardship.
M. Extensions. An employer may request additional time to submit a CTR program or CTR annual
progress report, or to implement or modify a program. Such requests shall be made in writing no less than
thirty days before the due date for which the extension is being requested. Requests must be made in
writing. Extensions not to exceed ninety days shall be considered for reasonable causes. The city shall
grant or deny the employer's extension request in writing within ten working days of receipt. If there is no
response issued to the employer, an extension is automatically granted for thirty days. Extensions shall
not exempt an employer from any responsibility in meeting program goals. Extensions granted due to
delays or difficulties with any program element(s) shall not be cause for discontinuing or failing to
implement other program elements. An employer's annual reporting date shall not be adjusted
permanently as a result of these extensions. An employer's annual reporting date may be extended at the
discretion of the community services director or his/her designee.
N. Implementation of Employer's CTR Program. Unless extensions are granted, the employer shall
implement the approved CTR program not more than ninety days after receiving written notice from the
city that the program has been approved or with the expiration of the program review period without
receiving notice from the city.
O. Criteria for Program Modification. The following criteria shall be applied in determining
requirements for employer CTR program modifications.
1. If an employer makes a good faith effort, as defined in RCW 70.94.534(2) and this chapter, and
meets either or both applicable goals, the employer has satisfied the objectives of the CTR plan and will
not be required to modify its CTR program.
2. If an employer makes a good faith effort, as defined in RCW 70.94.534(2) and this chapter, but has
not met or is not likely to meet the applicable SOV or VMT goal, the city of Edmonds shall work
collaboratively with the employer to make modifications to its CTR program. After agreeing on
modifications, the employer shall submit a revised CTR program to the city for approval within thirty
days of reaching an agreement.
3. If an employer fails to make good faith efforts as defined in RCW 70.94.534(2) and this chapter,
and fails to meet the applicable SOV of VMT reduction goal, the city shall work collaboratively with the
employer to identify modifications to the CTR program and shall direct the employer to revise its
program within thirty days to incorporate the modifications. In response to the recommended
modifications, the employer shall submit a revised CTR program description, including the requested
modifications or equivalent measures, within thirty days of receiving written notice to revise its program.
The city shall review the revisions and notify the employer of acceptance or rejection of the revised
program. If a revised program is not accepted, the city will send a written notice to that major employer
within thirty days and, if necessary, require the employer to attend a conference with program review staff
for the purpose of reaching a consensus on the required program. A final decision on the required
program will be issued in writing by the city within ten working days of the conference.
17.95.040 General.
A. Enforcement.
1. Compliance. For purposes of this section, compliance shall mean fully implementing all
provisions in an accepted CTR program or meeting or exceeding VMT and SOV goals of this chapter.
Packet Page 538 of 643
{BFP708555.DOC;1/00006.900000/} - 12 -
2. Failure to implement an approved CTR program, unless the program elements that are carried
out can be shown through quantifiable evidence to meet or exceed VMT and SOV goals are specified in
this chapter. Failure to implement a CTR program includes but is not limited to:
a. Failure of any major employer to submit a complete CTR program with the deadline
specified in ECDC 17.95.030(K);
b. Failure to submit required documentation for annual reports;
c. Submission of fraudulent data;
d. Failure to make a good faith effort, as defined in RCW 70.94.534(4) and this chapter;
e. Failure to modify a CTR program found to be unacceptable by the city under ECDC
17.95.030(K)(3).
3. Penalties. No major employer with an approved CTR program may be held liable for the
failure to reach the applicable SOV or VMT goals. The city may at its discretion exercise the following
alternative remedy:
a. Civil Infraction. Each day of failure by an employer to:
i. Implement a commute reduction program; or
ii. Modify an unacceptable commute reduction program shall constitute a separate
violation and shall be considered to be a civil infraction punishable by a penalty for violation of up to
$250.00 per day. Major employers may appeal such civil penalties pursuant to the provisions of RCW
7.80.100.
b. Nuisance and Abatement. Each day of failure by an employer to:
i. Implement a commute reduction program; or
ii. Modify an unacceptable commute reduction program shall also constitute a public
nuisance and may be abated as provided in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 20.110 ECDC. Any
violation shall be processed and shall be appealable as provided in Chapter 20.110 ECDC.
c. It shall not be considered a failure to implement the CTR program, if an employer's
inability to implement an element of a CTR program was the result of an inability to reach agreement
within the preceding twelve-month period with a certified collective bargaining agent under applicable
laws where the issue was raised by the employer and pursued in good faith. Unionized employers shall be
presumed to act in good faith compliance if they:
i. Propose to a recognized union any provision of the employer's CTR program that is
subject to bargaining as defined by the National Labor Relations Act; and
ii. Advise the union of the existence of the statute and the mandates of the CTR
program approved by the city and advise the union that the proposal being made is necessary for
compliance with state law (RCW 70.94.531).
B. Exemptions or Goal Modifications.
1. Exemptions. A major employer may submit a request to the city to grant an exemption from all
CTR program requirements or penalties for a particular work site. The employer must demonstrate that it
would experience undue hardship in complying with the requirements of the ordinance as a result of the
characteristics if its business, its work force, or its location(s). An exemption may be granted if and only
if the major employer demonstrates that it faces extraordinary circumstance, such as bankruptcy, and is
unable to implement any measures that could reduce the proportion of SOV trips and VMT per employee.
Exemptions may be granted by the city at any time based on written notice provided by the major
employer. The notice should clearly explain the conditions for which the major employer is seeking an
exemption from the requirements of the CTR program. The city shall review annually all employers
receiving exemptions, and shall determine whether the exemption will be in effect during the following
program year.
Packet Page 539 of 643
{BFP708555.DOC;1/00006.900000/} - 13 -
2. Modification of CTR Program Goals. Prior to implementation, a major employer may request
from the city a modification of program goals. Grounds for granting modification and the associated
modification will be determined on a case-by-case basis and include the following:
a. Specific employees or groups of employees who are required to drive alone to work as a
condition of employment may be exempted from a worksite's CTR program. Exemptions may also be
granted for employees who work variable shifts throughout the year and who do not rotate as a group to
identical shifts. The city shall review annually all employee exemption requests, and shall determine
whether the exemption will be in effect during the following program year.
b. A major employer may request that the city modify its CTR program goals. Such requests
shall be filed in writing at least sixty days prior to the date the worksite is required to submit its program
description or annual report. The goal modification request must clearly explain why the worksite is
unable to achieve the applicable goal. The worksite must also demonstrate that it has implemented all of
the elements contained in its approved CTR program. The city will review and grant or deny requests for
goal modifications in accordance with procedures and criteria identified in the CTR Board guidelines. An
employer may not request a modification of the applicable goals until one year after the city approval of
its initial program description or annual report.
C. Appeals of Final Decision. Major employers may file a written appeal of the city's final decision
regarding the following actions:
1. Rejection of an employer's proposed program;
2. Denial of an employer's requests for a waiver or modification of any of the requirements of this
chapter or a modification of the employer's program;
Such appeals must be filed with the city within ten days after the employer receives notice of a final
decision. Timely appeals shall be heard by the city's hearing examiner. The hearing examiner's decision
shall be final, and may be appealed to the city council pursuant to ECDC 20.105.010(c) et seq.
Determinations on appeals shall be based on whether the decision being appealed was consistent with this
chapter or applicable law.
D. Third Party Liability. It is expressly the purpose of this chapter to provide for and promote the
health, safety, and welfare of the general public and not to create or otherwise establish or designate any
particular class or group of persons who will or should be especially protected or benefitted by the terms
of this chapter.
It is the specific intent of this chapter that no provisions nor any term used in this chapter is intended to
impose any duty whatsoever upon the city or any of its officers or employees, for whom the
implementation and enforcement of this chapter shall be discretionary and not mandatory.
Nothing contained in this chapter is intended nor shall be construed to create or form the basis of any
liability on the part of the city, or its officers, employees or agents, for any injury or damage resulting
from any action or inaction on the part of the city related in any manner to the enforcement of this chapter
by its officers, employees or agents. [Ord. 3242 § 1, 1999; Ord. 2913 § 1, 1993].

CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON
ORDINANCE NO. ______________
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Edmonds, Washington, relating to
contracting indebtedness; providing for the issuance of not to exceed $4,200,000
par value of limited tax general obligation bonds for general City purposes to
provide part of the funds with which to design and construct a wireless water
meter system, to extend and improve the City’s fiber optic network for the
purpose of supporting that system and for other municipal and public purposes,
and to pay the costs of issuance and sale of the bonds; fixing the date, form,
maturities, interest rates, terms and covenants of the bonds; establishing a bond
redemption fund and construction funds; and providing for the public sale of the
bonds.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, DOES
ORDAIN as follows:
Section 1. Recitals. The City Council of the City of Edmonds, Washington (the
“City”) makes the following findings:
1.1 The City desires to construct, own and operate a wireless water meter system to
replace its existing water meter system.
1.2 The City currently owns and operates a high capacity telecommunications fiber
optic network that serves the City’s utility operations, public safety operations and other City
services, and desires to extend and improve that system in order to support the new wireless
water meter system and to enhance other utility operations, public safety operations, and other
public services.
1.3 The extension and improvement of the City’s existing fiber optic network creates
excess capacity that may be used to provide access to ultra high capacity internet and other
telecommunications services; capacity for accommodating expanding technologies and demand;
intergovernmental coordination and services (including educational and health institutions); and
more and faster service to members of the public who are in need of those services.
1.4 The City is in need of financing a wireless water meter system and the extension
and improvement of the City’s fiber optic network (the “Project,” as defined in Section 3,
below), the estimated total cost of which is more than $4,200,000, and the City does not have
available sufficient funds to pay the cost.
1.5 To pay costs of the Project, the City Council finds it necessary and advisable that
the City issue and sell its limited tax general obligation bonds in the principal amount of not to
exceed $4,200,000 (the “Bonds”).

Section 2. Debt Capacity. The assessed valuation of the taxable property within the
City as ascertained by the last preceding assessment for City purposes for the calendar year 2008
is $7,615,549,203. The City has outstanding general indebtedness evidenced by limited tax
general obligation bonds, notes, leases and conditional sales contracts in the principal amount of
$20,265,320 incurred within the limit of up to 1½ % of the value of the taxable property within
the City permitted for general municipal purposes without a vote of the qualified voters therein,
unlimited tax general obligation bonds in the principal amount of $6,895,000 incurred within the
limit of up to 2½ % of the value of the taxable property within the City for capital purposes only,
issued pursuant to a vote of the qualified voters of the City, and the amount of indebtedness for
which bonds are authorized herein to be issued is not to exceed $4,200,000.
Section 3. Authorization of Bonds. The City shall borrow money on the credit of the
City and issue negotiable limited tax general obligation bonds evidencing that indebtedness as
described in Section 4, for general City purposes to provide part of the funds with which to
design and construct a wireless water meter system and extend and improve the City’s fiber optic
network both to support that system and for other municipal and public purposes (the “Project”)
(a) to enable timely, efficient and cost-effect water meter reading; (b) for use by City
departments in order to enhance other utility operations, public safety operations, and other City
services, (c) for use by other governmental, educational and health institutions pursuant to
interlocal agreements and other contractual arrangements, and (d) to the extent capacity is
available, for use under contract by private persons and entities that need access to high capacity
internet and other high capacity telecommunications services, and to pay the costs of issuance
and sale of the bonds (the “costs of issuance”). The general indebtedness to be incurred shall be
within the limit of up to 1½ % of the value of the taxable property within the City permitted for
general municipal purposes without a vote of the qualified voters therein.
Section 4. Description of Bonds. The bonds shall be called Limited Tax General
Obligation Bonds of the City of Edmonds (the “Bonds”), with such other or additional
designation as determined in a resolution of the City Council confirming the terms of the sale of
the Bonds (the “Bond Sale Resolution”), and shall be in the amount of not to exceed $4,200,000,
or such lesser principal amount that will produce sufficient proceeds to provide no more than
$4,200,000 to pay part of the costs of carrying out the Project, plus the additional proceeds
required to pay the costs of issuance. The Bonds shall be dated the date of their initial delivery;
shall be issued in fully registered form; shall be in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral
multiple thereof within a single maturity; shall be numbered separately, in the manner and with
any additional designation as the fiscal agent of the State of Washington (as the same may be
designated by the State of Washington from time to time) (the “Bond Registrar”) deems
necessary for purposes of identification; and shall contain such additional terms as are specified
in the Bond Sale Resolution in accordance with Section 17.
The Bonds shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months), payable semiannually on each succeeding June 1 and December 1, commencing June 1,
2009 (or on such other dates as the Council shall establish in the Bond Sale Resolution), to the
maturity or earlier redemption of the Bonds, at such rate or rates as the Council shall establish in
the Bond Sale Resolution. Only one interest rate may be specified for Bonds of the same
maturity.
-2-
50932964.10
Packet Page 575 of 643
The Bonds shall mature or be subject to mandatory redemption on December 1 in such
years and on such dates as the Council shall establish in the Bond Sale Resolution through and
including the final maturity, which shall be no later than December 1, 2033 (and may be earlier),
all in accordance with the maturity schedule set forth in the Bond Sale Resolution.
Section 5. Registration and Transfer of Bonds. The Bonds shall be issued only in
registered form as to both principal and interest and shall be recorded on books or records
maintained by the Bond Registrar (the “Bond Register”). The Bond Register shall contain the
name and mailing address of the owner of each Bond and the principal amount and number of
each of the Bonds held by each owner.
Bonds surrendered to the Bond Registrar may be exchanged for Bonds in any authorized
denomination of an equal aggregate principal amount and of the same interest rate and maturity.
Bonds may be transferred only if endorsed in the manner provided thereon and surrendered to
the Bond Registrar. Any exchange or transfer shall be without cost to the owner or transferee.
The Bond Registrar shall not be obligated to exchange or transfer any Bond during the 15 days
preceding any principal payment or redemption date.
The Bonds initially shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of The
Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”). The Bonds so registered shall be
held in fully immobilized form by DTC as depository in accordance with the provisions of a
Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations dated August 6, 1996 between the City and DTC (as it
may be amended from time to time, the “Letter of Representations”). Neither the City nor the
Bond Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to DTC participants or the persons for
whom they act as nominees with respect to the Bonds regarding accuracy of any records
maintained by DTC or DTC participants of any amount in respect of principal of or interest on
the Bonds, or any notice which is permitted or required to be given to registered owners
hereunder (except such notice as is required to be given by the Bond Registrar to DTC).
For as long as any Bonds are held in fully immobilized form, DTC, its nominee or its
successor depository shall be deemed to be the registered owner for all purposes hereunder and
all references to registered owners, bondowners, bondholders or the like shall mean DTC or its
nominee and, except for the purpose of the City’s undertaking herein to provide continuing
disclosure, shall not mean the owners of any beneficial interests in the Bonds. Registered
ownership of such Bonds, or any portions thereof, may not thereafter be transferred except: (i) to
any successor of DTC or its nominee, if that successor shall be qualified under any applicable
laws to provide the services proposed to be provided by it; (ii) to any substitute depository
appointed by the City or such substitute depository’s successor; or (iii) to any person if the
Bonds are no longer held in immobilized form.
Upon the resignation of DTC or its successor (or any substitute depository or its
successor) from its functions as depository, or a determination by the City that it no longer
wishes to continue the system of book entry transfers through DTC or its successor (or any
substitute depository or its successor), the City may appoint a substitute depository. Any such
substitute depository shall be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the services
proposed to be provided by it.
-3-
50932964.10
Packet Page 576 of 643
If (i) DTC or its successor (or substitute depository or its successor) resigns from its
functions as depository, and no substitute depository can be obtained, or (ii) the City determines
that the Bonds are to be in certificated form, the ownership of Bonds may be transferred to any
person as provided herein and the Bonds no longer shall be held in fully immobilized form.
Section 6. Payment of Bonds. Both principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be
payable in lawful money of the United States of America. Interest on the Bonds shall be paid by
checks or drafts of the Bond Registrar mailed on the interest payment date to the registered
owners at the addresses appearing on the Bond Register on the 15th day of the month preceding
the interest payment date or, if requested in writing by a registered owner of $1,000,000 or more
in principal amount of Bonds prior to the applicable record date, by wire transfer on the interest
payment date. Principal of the Bonds shall be payable upon presentation and surrender of the
Bonds by the registered owners to the Bond Registrar. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for as
long as the Bonds are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, payment of principal of and
interest on the Bonds shall be made in the manner set forth in the Letter of Representations.
Section 7. Redemption Provisions and Open Market Purchase of Bonds. Some
maturities of the Bonds may be issued without the right or option of the City to redeem those
Bonds prior to their stated maturity dates, as designated in the maturity schedule set forth in the
Bond Sale Resolution. Except for those maturities so designated as not subject to optional
redemption prior to maturity, the City reserves the right and option to redeem the Bonds as a
whole or in part (within one or more maturities selected by the City and randomly within a
maturity in such manner as the Bond Registrar shall determine), at par plus accrued interest to
the date fixed for redemption. The City Finance Director may prescribe in the bid forms the
optional and mandatory date and the optional and mandatory redemption provisions that he
determines are most advantageous to the City.
All or some of the Bonds may be designated as “Term Bonds” by the successful bidder.
If those Term Bonds are not redeemed under the optional redemption provisions set forth above
or purchased in the open market under the provisions set forth below, they shall be called for
redemption randomly (in such manner as the Bond Registrar shall determine) at par plus accrued
interest on August 1 in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Bond Sale Resolution.
If the City redeems Term Bonds under the optional redemption provisions, purchases in
the open market or defeased Term Bonds, the par amount of the Term Bonds so redeemed or
purchased (irrespective of their actual redemption or purchase prices) shall be credited against
one or more scheduled mandatory redemption amounts for those Term Bonds. The City shall
determine the manner in which the credit is to be allocated and shall notify the Bond Registrar in
writing of its allocation at least 60 days prior to the earliest mandatory redemption date for that
maturity of Term Bonds for which notice of redemption has not already been given. Portions of
the principal amount of any Bond, in installments of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, may
be redeemed. If less than all of the principal amount of any Bond is redeemed, upon surrender of
that Bond to the Bond Registrar, there shall be issued to the registered owner, without charge
therefor, a new Bond (or Bonds, at the option of the registered owner) of the same maturity and
interest rate in any of the denominations authorized by this ordinance in the aggregate principal
amount remaining unredeemed.
-4-
50932964.10
Packet Page 577 of 643
The City further reserves the right and option to purchase any or all of the Bonds in the
open market at any time at any price acceptable to the City plus accrued interest to the date of
purchase.
All Bonds purchased or redeemed under this section shall be canceled.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for as long as the Bonds are registered in the name of
DTC or its nominee, selection of Bonds for redemption shall be in accordance with the Letter of
Representations.
Section 8. Notice of Redemption. The City shall cause notice of any intended
redemption of Bonds to be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed
for redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered owner of any Bond to be
redeemed at the address appearing on the Bond Register at the time the Bond Registrar prepares
the notice, and the requirements of this sentence shall be deemed to have been fulfilled when
notice has been mailed as so provided, whether or not it is actually received by the owner of any
Bond. Interest on Bonds called for redemption shall cease to accrue on the date fixed for
redemption unless the Bond or Bonds called are not redeemed when presented pursuant to the
call. In addition, the redemption notice shall be mailed within the same period, postage prepaid,
to Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and Standard & Poor’s at their offices in New York, New
York, or their successors, to each NRMSIR or the MSRB and to such other persons, including
registered securities depositories, if any, and with such additional information as the City
Finance Director shall determine, but these additional mailings shall not be a condition precedent
to the redemption of Bonds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for as long as the Bonds are
registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, notice of redemption shall be given in accordance
with the Letter of Representations.
Section 9. Failure To Redeem Bonds. If any Bond is not redeemed when properly
presented at its maturity or call date, the City shall be obligated to pay interest on that Bond at
the same rate provided in the Bond from and after its maturity or call date until that Bond, both
principal and interest, is paid in full or until sufficient money for its payment in full is on deposit
in the bond redemption fund hereinafter created and the Bond has been called for payment by
giving notice of that call to the registered owner of each of those unpaid Bonds.
Section 10. Pledge of Taxes. For as long as any of the Bonds are outstanding, the City
irrevocably pledges to include in its budget and levy taxes annually within the constitutional and
statutory tax limitations provided by law without a vote of the electors of the City on all of the
taxable property within the City in an amount sufficient, together with other money legally
available and to be used therefor, to pay when due the principal of and interest on the Bonds, and
the full faith, credit and resources of the City are pledged irrevocably for the annual levy and
collection of those taxes and the prompt payment of that principal and interest. The City expects
that part of cost of debt service on the bonds will be allocated to the waterworks utility of the
city, but the revenue of the waterworks utility is not pledged to the payment of principal and
interest on the Bonds.
Section 11. Form and Execution of Bonds. The Bonds shall be printed or lithographed
on good bond paper in a form consistent with the provisions of this ordinance and state law and
-5-
50932964.10
Packet Page 578 of 643
shall be signed by the Mayor and City Clerk, either or both of whose signatures may be manual
or in facsimile, and the seal of the City or a facsimile reproduction thereof shall be impressed or
printed thereon.
Only Bonds bearing a Certificate of Authentication in the following form, manually
signed by the Bond Registrar, shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to the
benefits of this ordinance:
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION
This Bond is one of the fully registered City of Edmonds, Washington,
Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds [plus any additional designation],
described in the Bond Ordinance.
WASHINGTON STATE FISCAL AGENT
Bond Registrar
By
Authorized Signer
The authorized signing of a Certificate of Authentication shall be conclusive evidence that the
Bond so authenticated has been duly executed, authenticated and delivered and is entitled to the
benefits of this ordinance.
If any officer whose facsimile signature appears on the Bonds ceases to be an officer of
the City authorized to sign bonds before the Bonds bearing his or her facsimile signature are
authenticated or delivered by the Bond Registrar or issued by the City, those Bonds nevertheless
may be authenticated, issued and delivered and, when authenticated, issued and delivered, shall
be as binding on the City as though that person had continued to be an officer of the City
authorized to sign bonds. Any Bond also may be signed on behalf of the City by any person
who, on the actual date of signing of the Bond, is an officer of the City authorized to sign bonds,
although he or she did not hold the required office on the date of issuance of the Bonds.
Section 12. Bond Registrar. The Bond Registrar shall keep, or cause to be kept,
sufficient books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds, which shall be open to inspection
by the City at all times. The Bond Registrar is authorized, on behalf of the City, to authenticate
and deliver Bonds transferred or exchanged in accordance with the provisions of the Bonds and
this ordinance, to serve as the City’s paying agent for the Bonds and to carry out all of the Bond
Registrar’s powers and duties under this ordinance and City Ordinance No. 2451 establishing a
system of registration for the City’s bonds and obligations.
The Bond Registrar shall be responsible for its representations contained in the Bond
Registrar’s Certificate of Authentication on the Bonds. The Bond Registrar may become the
owner of Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were not the Bond Registrar and, to the
extent permitted by law, may act as depository for and permit any of its officers or directors to
act as members of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any committee formed to protect the
rights of Bond owners.
Section 13. Preservation of Tax Exemption for Interest on Bonds. The City covenants
that it will take all actions necessary to prevent interest on the Bonds from being included in
-6-
50932964.10
Packet Page 579 of 643
gross income for federal income tax purposes, and it will neither take any action nor make or
permit any use of proceeds of the Bonds or other funds of the City treated as proceeds of the
Bonds at any time during the term of the Bonds which will cause interest on the Bonds to be
included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City also covenants that it will, to
the extent the arbitrage rebate requirement of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”), is applicable to the Bonds, take all actions necessary to comply (or to
be treated as having complied) with that requirement in connection with the Bonds, including the
calculation and payment of any penalties that the City has elected to pay as an alternative to
calculating rebatable arbitrage, and the payment of any other penalties if required under Section
148 of the Code to prevent interest on the Bonds from being included in gross income for federal
income tax purposes.
Section 14. Designation of Bonds as “Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations.” The City
has determined and certifies that (a) the Bonds are not “private activity bonds” within the
meaning of Section 141 of the Code; (b) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt
obligations (other than private activity bonds and other obligations not required to be included in
such calculation) which the City and any entity subordinate to the City (including any entity that
the City controls, that derives its authority to issue tax-exempt obligations from the City, or that
issues tax-exempt obligations on behalf of the City) will issue during the calendar year in which
the Bonds are issued will not exceed $10,000,000; and (c) the amount of tax-exempt obligations,
including the Bonds, designated by the City as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for the
purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code during the calendar year in which the Bonds are
issued does not exceed $10,000,000. The City designates the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt
obligations” for the purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the City in the Bond Sale Resolution may adjust the determinations set forth in this Section 14
and replace those with other determinations that the City may find to be appropriate at the time
the Bonds are sold.
Section 15. Refunding or Defeasance of the Bonds. The City may issue refunding
bonds pursuant to the laws of the State of Washington or use money available from any other
lawful source to pay when due the principal of and interest on the Bonds, or any portion thereof
included in a refunding or defeasance plan, and to redeem and retire, refund or defease all such
then-outstanding Bonds (hereinafter collectively called the “defeased Bonds”) and to pay the
costs of the refunding or defeasance. If money and/or “government obligations” (as defined in
chapter 39.53 RCW, as now or hereafter amended) maturing at a time or times and bearing
interest in amounts (together with money, if necessary) sufficient to redeem and retire, refund or
defease the defeased Bonds in accordance with their terms are set aside in a special trust fund or
escrow account irrevocably pledged to that redemption, retirement or defeasance of defeased
Bonds (hereinafter called the “trust account”), then all right and interest of the owners of the
defeased Bonds in the covenants of this ordinance and in the funds and accounts obligated to the
payment of the defeased Bonds shall cease and become void. The owners of defeased Bonds
shall have the right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the defeased Bonds
from the trust account. The City shall include in the refunding or defeasance plan such
provisions as the City deems necessary for the random selection of any defeased Bonds that
constitute less than all of a particular maturity of the Bonds, for notice of the defeasance to be
given to the owners of the defeased Bonds and to such other persons as the City shall determine,
and for any required replacement of Bond certificates for defeased Bonds. The defeased Bonds
-7-

Packet Page 580 of 643
shall be deemed no longer outstanding, and the City may apply any money in any other fund or
account established for the payment or redemption of the defeased Bonds to any lawful purposes
as it shall determine.
If the Bonds are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, notice of any defeasance
of Bonds shall be given to DTC in the manner prescribed in the Letter of Representations for
notices of redemption of Bonds.
Section 16. Bond Fund and Deposit of Bond Proceeds. There is created and
established in the office of the City Finance Director a special fund designated as the Limited
Tax General Obligation Bond Fund (Wireless Water Meter/Fiber Optic Network Improvements)
(the “Bond Fund”), for the purpose of paying principal of and interest on the Bonds. Accrued
interest on the Bonds, if any, received from the sale and delivery of the Bonds shall be paid into
the Bond Fund. All taxes collected for and allocated to the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Bonds shall be deposited in the Bond Fund.
The City Finance Director is authorized and directed to establish a special account or
fund (the “Construction Fund”). The principal proceeds and premium, if any, received from the
sale and delivery of the Bonds shall be paid into the Construction Fund and used for the purposes
specified in Section 3 of this ordinance. The Project shall be carried out consistent with the
Wireless Water Meter / Fiber Optic Network Recommendations submitted to the Council, or for
such other Wireless Water Meter and/or Fiber Optic Network purposes as the Council may later
determine. Until needed to pay the costs of the Project and costs of issuance of the Bonds, the
City may invest principal proceeds temporarily in any legal investment, and the investment
earnings may be retained in the Construction Fund and be spent for the purposes of that fund
except that earnings subject to a federal tax or rebate requirement may be withdrawn from the
Construction Fund and used for those tax or rebate purposes.
Section 17. Provision for Sale of Bonds and Notice of Sale. The Finance Director is
authorized to fix a date and time for the competitive sale of the Bonds, to give notice of the sale,
to determine the bid requirements and the criteria for determining the best bidder, and to specify
such other matters as she may determine necessary to carry out the sale of the Bonds, so long as
the manner and terms of the sale thereof are consistent with this ordinance. The Finance
Director may, at her discretion, provide for the use of an electronic bidding mechanism in
connection with the bidding for the sale of the Bonds. The City reserves the right to waive any
irregularity in any bid or in the bidding process.
However, if the Finance Director determines, after consultation with the City’s financial
advisor, that market conditions are such that the City is likely to accomplish the borrowing at a
lower overall cost to the City by entering into negotiations for the sale of the Bonds rather than
using a competitive sale process, she may proceed to select an underwriter and negotiate a bond
purchase agreement providing for the sale of the bonds to the underwriter consistent with the
terms of this ordinance.
The final terms of the Bonds, whether reached through competitive sale or negotiation,
shall be confirmed by the Bond Sale Resolution adopted by City Council, which may provide for
-8-
50932964.10
Packet Page 581 of 643
the matters described in this ordinance and such other matters that the City Council deems
necessary, appropriate, or desirable to carry out the purposes of this ordinance.
The Bond Sale Resolution may provide for bond insurance, and may provide conditions
or covenants relating thereto, including additional terms, conditions, and covenants relating to
the Bonds that are required by the bond insurer, and are consistent with the provisions of this
ordinance, including but not limited to restrictions on investments and requirements of notice to
and consent of the bond insurer. The Bond Sale Resolution may approve and authorize the
execution and delivery on behalf of the City of any contracts and other documents consistent
with the provisions of this ordinance for which the City’s approval is necessary or to which the
City is a party and that are related or incidental to the issuance and sale of the Bonds or to the
establishment of the interest rate or rates on the Bonds, including but not limited to agreements
with bond insurers and underwriters. The Mayor and the Finance Director are each separately
authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, any contracts and other documents
consistent with the provisions of this ordinance for which the City’s approval is necessary or to
which the City is a party and that are related or incidental to the issuance and sale of the Bonds.
CUSIP numbers will be printed on the Bonds if requested in the bid of the successful
bidder, but neither failure to print CUSIP numbers on any Bond nor error with respect thereto
shall constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the successful bidder to accept delivery of and
pay for the Bonds in accordance with its bid. All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP
numbers on the Bonds shall be paid by the City, but the fee of the CUSIP Service Bureau for the
assignment of those numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid by the successful
bidder.
If, prior to the delivery of the Bonds, interest on the Bonds receivable by the owners
thereof becomes includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes, or becomes subject
to federal income tax except as described in the official statement, the successful bidder, at its
option, may be relieved of its obligation to purchase the Bonds, and in such case the deposit
accompanying its bid will be returned, without interest.
The City will cause the Bonds to be printed, lithographed or typed and signed and will
furnish the approving legal opinion of Foster Pepper PLLC, bond counsel of Seattle,
Washington, regarding the Bonds without cost to the purchaser.
The Bonds will be delivered to the successful bidder in Seattle, Washington, within 30
days after the sale date and immediately upon payment to the City of the purchase price in
immediately available federal funds in Seattle, Washington, at the City’s expense, or at another
time or place upon which the Finance Director and the successful bidder may agree at the
successful bidder’s expense.
Section 18. Preliminary Official Statement. The City Council authorizes the Finance
Director to approve and, for the sole purpose of the Bond purchaser’s compliance with Securities
and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12(b)(1), to “deem final” a Preliminary Official Statement
as of its date, except for the omission of information as to offering prices, interest rates, selling
compensation, aggregate principal amount, principal amount per maturity, maturity dates,

matters.
Section 19. Undertaking to Provide Continuing Disclosure. To meet the requirements
of United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) (the “Rule”),
as applicable to a participating underwriter for the Bonds, the City makes the following written
undertaking (the “Undertaking”) for the benefit of holders of the Bonds:
(a) Undertaking to Provide Annual Financial Information and Notice
of Material Events. The City undertakes to provide or cause to be provided, either
directly or through a designated agent:
(i) To each nationally recognized municipal securities
information repository designated by the SEC in accordance with the Rule
(“NRMSIR”) and to a state information depository, if any, established in
the State of Washington (the “SID”) annual financial information and
operating data of the type included in the final official statement for the
Bonds and described in subsection (b) of this section (“annual financial
information”);
(ii) To each NRMSIR or the Municipal Securities Rulemaking
Board (“MSRB”), and to the SID, timely notice of the occurrence of any
of the following events with respect to the Bonds, if material: (1) principal
and interest payment delinquencies; (2) non-payment related defaults;
(3) unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial
difficulties; (4) unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting
financial difficulties; (5) substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or
their failure to perform; (6) adverse tax opinions or events affecting the
tax-exempt status of the Bonds; (7) modifications to rights of holders of
the Bonds; (8) Bond calls (other than scheduled mandatory redemptions of
Term Bonds); (9) defeasances; (10) release, substitution, or sale of
property securing repayment of the Bonds; and (11) rating changes; and
(iii) To each NRMSIR or to the MSRB, and to the SID, timely
notice of a failure by the City to provide required annual financial
information on or before the date specified in subsection (b) of this
section.
(b) Type of Annual Financial Information Undertaken to be Provided.
The annual financial information that the City undertakes to provide in
subsection (a) of this section:
(i) Shall consist of (1) annual financial statements prepared
(except as noted in the financial statements) in accordance with applicable
generally accepted accounting principles applicable to governmental units,
as such principles may be changed from time to time and as permitted by
State law, which statements shall not be audited, except, however, that if
and when audited financial statements are otherwise prepared and

Packet Page 583 of 643
available to the City they will be provided; (2) a statement of authorized,
issued and outstanding general obligation debt of the City; (3) the assessed
value of the property within the City subject to ad valorem taxation; and
(4) ad valorem tax levy rates and amounts and percentage of taxes
collected;
(ii) Shall be provided to each NRMSIR and the SID, not later
than the last day of the ninth month after the end of each fiscal year of the
City (currently, a fiscal year ending December 31), as such fiscal year
may be changed as required or permitted by State law, commencing with
the City’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2009; and
(iii) May be provided in a single or multiple documents, and
may be incorporated by reference to other documents that have been filed
with each NRMSIR and the SID, or, if the document incorporated by
reference is a “final official statement” with respect to other obligations of
the City, that has been filed with the MSRB.
(c) Amendment of Undertaking. The Undertaking is subject to
amendment after the primary offering of the Bonds without the consent of any
holder of any Bond, or of any broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer,
participating underwriter, rating agency, NRMSIR, the SID or the MSRB, under
the circumstances and in the manner permitted by the Rule.
The City will give notice to each NRMSIR or the MSRB, and the SID, of
the substance (or provide a copy) of any amendment to the Undertaking and a
brief statement of the reasons for the amendment. If the amendment changes the
type of annual financial information to be provided, the annual financial
information containing the amended financial information will include a narrative
explanation of the effect of that change on the type of information to be provided.
(d) Beneficiaries. The Undertaking evidenced by this section shall
inure to the benefit of the City and any holder of Bonds, and shall not inure to the
benefit of or create any rights in any other person.
(e) Termination of Undertaking. The City’s obligations under this
Undertaking shall terminate upon the legal defeasance of all of the Bonds. In
addition, the City’s obligations under this Undertaking shall terminate if those
provisions of the Rule which require the City to comply with this Undertaking
become legally inapplicable in respect of the Bonds for any reason, as confirmed
by an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel or other counsel familiar
with federal securities laws delivered to the City, and the City provides timely
notice of such termination to each NRMSIR or the MSRB and the SID.
(f) Remedy for Failure to Comply with Undertaking. As soon as
practicable after the City learns of any failure to comply with the Undertaking, the
City will proceed with due diligence to cause such noncompliance to be corrected.
-11-
50932964.10
Packet Page 584 of 643
No failure by the City or other obligated person to comply with the Undertaking
shall constitute a default in respect of the Bonds. The sole remedy of any holder
of a Bond shall be to take such actions as that holder deems necessary, including
seeking an order of specific performance from an appropriate court, to compel the
City or other obligated person to comply with the Undertaking.
(g) Designation of Official Responsible to Administer Undertaking.
The Finance Director of the City (or such other officer of the City who may in the
future perform the duties of that office) or his or her designee is authorized and
directed in his or her discretion to take such further actions as may be necessary,
appropriate or convenient to carry out the Undertaking of the City in respect of
the Bonds set forth in this section and in accordance with the Rule, including,
without limitation, the following actions:
(i) Preparing and filing the annual financial information
undertaken to be provided;
(ii) Determining whether any event specified in subsection (a)
has occurred, assessing its materiality with respect to the Bonds, and, if
material, preparing and disseminating notice of its occurrence;
(iii) Determining whether any person other than the City is an
“obligated person” within the meaning of the Rule with respect to the
Bonds, and obtaining from such person an undertaking to provide any
annual financial information and notice of material events for that person
in accordance with the Rule;
(iv) Selecting, engaging and compensating designated agents
and consultants, including but not limited to financial advisors and legal

SEC, the City may satisfy the Undertaking by transmitting the required filings
using http://www.disclosureusa.org (or such other centralized dissemination agent
as may be approved by the SEC).

Interim Zoning Ordinance house rentals
Edmonds City Council Meeting
Date:12/16/2008
Submitted By:Duane Bowman Time:30 Minutes
Department:Development Services Type:Action
Review Committee:
Action:
Information
Subject Title
Public hearing on Ordinance No. 3702, an interim zoning ordinance amending the
provisions of Section 16.20.010(B)(3) relating to the rental of single family dwellings. This
Ordinance affects minimum time limits on such rentals.
Recommendation from Mayor and Staff
Refer the matter to the Planning Board for review and recommendation.
Previous Council Action
This matter was reviewed at the October 14, 2008 CS/DS Committee meeting. The CS/DS
Committee recommended the draft interim ordinance be presented to the City Council with a
timeline to do a code amendment following the normal code amendment process. Staff was also
requested to do research to see if this proposed ordinance would impact other properties.
The City Council adopted the interim ordinance on November 3, 2008 and set December 16, 2008
as the date for a public hearing on the interim ordinance.
Narrative
The City has run into an issue where a property owner is renting a large house out for parties,
conferences and weddings on a daily, weekly or monthly rental in a single family zoned
neighborhood. Problems with noise, parking and traffic have been associated with the rental of the
house. Staff believes that there should be some clarification of our standards for rentals in single
family zones.
The CS/DS Committee forwarded the interim zoning ordinance for the City Council for review.
Concern was raised at the CS/DS Committee meeting about the impact on other properties and
what should the length of time be for house rentals. Also the Committee wanted to know what the
process would be to do a code amendment through the normal code amendment process.
The City Council passed Ordinance 3702 and set December 16, 2008 as the date for the public
hearing on the ordinance. The Council set a minimum rental standard of seven days in the
ordinance.

seek a voice and a vote for Edmonds or south Snohomish County if
regional transportation governance moves forward.

oppose paying offender costs beyond the current pretrial costs for
misdemeanant offenders.

11. Education - New University of Washington North Branch Campus
• Support locating a University of Washington (UW) North Sound
Campus within Snohomish County. A letter was sent to Governor
Gregoire on January 14, 2008, expressing the City’s support for this
item.
12. Property Taxes
• Monitor and/or support legislation that allows cities the option to
increase its regular property tax levy at a rate equal to the consumer
price index (CPI) or Implicit price deflator (IPD) [existing language is to
raise property taxes 1%] if the city finds a compelling need plus
approval by a majority plus one of the city council (4 + 1). Otherwise,
the annual property tax revenue growth rate cap of 1% will result in a
further deterioration in cities' ability to provide basic services (i.e.,
police, fire, court, jail, park, etc.).

LAKE BALLINGER WATERSHED FORUM
State Legislative Agenda (DRAFT)
Appropriations Request
This Legislative Agenda reflects the Lake Ballinger Watershed Forum’s position on key
matters that are expected to be proposed as legislation in the upcoming 2009 Session of the
Legislature.
The Lake Ballinger Watershed Forum is comprised of all six local jurisdictions (cities of
Edmonds, Lake Forest Park, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Shoreline and Snohomish
County) within the Lake Ballinger/McAleer Creek watershed who have joined together
through an interlocal agreement to prepare a Strategic Action Plan that will address issues
related to water quantity and water quality within the drainage basin. This partnership
demonstrates a firm local commitment to solving the environmental issues impacting the
watershed.
The Strategic Action Plan is funded by a $200,000 Department of Ecology appropriation
allocated last year by the state legislature to study surface water and ground water issues
that affect Lake Ballinger and McAleer Creek. The Strategic Action Plan will primarily
address storm water and surface water flow issues related to the level of Lake Ballinger.
Flow issues for the lake related to Hall Creek and McAleer Creek are also included.
Secondary objectives include water quality, aquatic habitat and lake and streamside
enhancement opportunities. The Strategic Action Plan is scheduled to be completed by
June 30, 2009, with implementation expected thereafter.
The Lake Ballinger Watershed Forum requests additional state funding totaling $200,000
to facilitate implementation of the Strategic Action Plan to include:
• Coordination and cooperation among stakeholder agencies;
• Public information and awareness (outreach, education, training) about basin area;
• Public service announcements in support of basin stewardship and habitat
protection;
• Classroom and school engagement around basin stewardship and habitat protection;
• Storm drain labeling, signage along culverts, and streams;
• Creation of voluntary watershed development “best practices”; and
• Development of a financing strategy in support of the long term funding of
stormwater and flood mitigation projects, including identification and leveraging of
eligible funding opportunities to implement plan.
The Forum also requests $1,000,000 for stormwater improvement and flood mitigation
projects in support of the Strategic Action Plan. These funds will begin to address
flooding within the Lake Ballinger watershed basin to include open space preservation,
wetland reclamation, and the construction of stormwater and flood mitigation
infrastructure works to reduce future flood loss and protect property.
Questions about the Forum’s position on any of the issues identified herein can be directed
to XXXXX.

Community Services/Development Services Committee Meeting
December 9, 2008
Elected Officials Present: Staff Present:
Peggy Pritchard-Olson, Chair
D.J. Wilson, Council member
Rob Chave, Planning Manager
Rob English, City Engineer
Bertrand Hauss, Transportation Engineer
Duane Bowman, Development Services Director
Tom Tomberg, Fire Chief
The committee convened at 6:00 p.m.
A. Review of Sustainability Element Proposed for the Comprehensive Plan
.
Rob Chave, Planning Manager, introduced the topic. This is a continued discussion of the draft
outline for a new Sustainability Element for the Comprehensive Plan which was discussed at the
November committee meeting.
He reviewed two attachments (1) an outline of existing Comprehensive Plan elements showing
when they are potentially due to receive updates, and, (2) an outline of some of the issues that are
likely to surface as each element is scrutinized for its "sustainability" in more specific terms.
He noted that one thing that the City Council could focus on as it begins the process of developing a
Sustainability Element would be to establish specific 'sustainability measures' that are key to goals in
the sustainability element. This would help set the stage for a way to measure progress toward
achieving sustainability in its goals, policies, programs, and budgets. Discussion of potential
sustainability measures and a revisit of the City's strategic plan would be an ideal exercise for a
Council retreat early in 2009. Tom Tomberg, Fire Chief, noted that it is very important to develop
and follow a strategic plan and that it helps prioritize spending and capital projects.
Council member Wilson made observations regarding the draft. He liked the climate change
element and observed that the other areas should be expanded in the same manner. Rob Chave
stated that he will work on those elements and bring them back to the City Council in a work session
early in the New Year.
ACTION: Staff is to work on elements of the draft and schedule a work session on January
27, 2009 to review the draft with the full Council.
B. SR99 and 76th Avenue West Intersection Improvements.
Bertrand Hauss, Transportation Engineer, introduced the topic. In 2007, the City completed a
transportation study on improving the circulation and traffic safety on the SR99 corridor in Edmonds.
He noted that the proposed project will install a new traffic signal, extend the east leg of 228th Street
SW across the unopened right of way from SR99 to 76th Avenue West and eliminate dangerous left
turns at 76th Avenue West. Opening 228th Street SW to the east will provide a needed east/west
corridor and possibly reduce congestion on 220th Street SW and 244th Street SW. It will also

improve access to the new Mountlake Terrace Park and Ride station and the future Light Rail
Station. Other benefits include improved safety for left turn access and a signalized crossing for
pedestrians. Currently, there are no signalized crossings in a one mile stretch between 224th Street
SW and 238th Street SW. It was also noted that this was the number one project of the Highway 99
Traffic Signal Study.
City staff will pursue two upcoming opportunities for state and federal grants. The first grant
application is WSDOT’s Regional Mobility Grant Program which is due December 18th. The second
opportunity will become available in 2009 for transportation grants funded by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA).
The committee expressed support for the project.
ACTION: No action taken.
The Committee meeting adjourned at 6:55 p.m.
