statements that Judge Conroy wished to include in the minutes were part of the discussion.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NOROQUIST, TO APPROVE THE NOVEMBER 22, 1988
MINUTES AS AMENDED. MOTION CARRIED. (The proposed amendment was stated in full in the December
6, minutes beginning at the bottom of page 1.)
Councilmember Kasper inquired if the Council, as a whole, wished to inspect the Newland proper-
ty. Because the Council wished to view the property individually, Councilmember Kasper said he

F ON THE CONSENT AGENDA
Councilmember Nordquist inquired if the supervisor of the Building Division was included in the
selection process for the carpet. Parks & Recreation Division Manager Jim Barnes replied affirma-
tively. He said he consulted with the Building Supervisor and is requesting authorization to
purchase the carpet which the supervisor recommended. Councilmember Nordquist asked why the
Parks & Recreation Division was making a capital improvements purchase rather than the Building
Maintenance Division. Mr. Barnes said expenditures from Fund 116 are typically processed through
the Parks & Recreation Division.
COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO APPROVE ITEM (F). MOTION
CARRIED.
RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE FIVE-YEAR LEASE EXTENSION FOR SENIOR CENTER [ITEM H) ON THE CONSENT
AGENDA
Councilmember Nordquist was concerned that the lease agreement for the Senior Center is going to
expire in the near future. He noted that the City purchased that building with the intent of
utilizing it strictly for senior citizens of South County. He requested the Council to consider
amending the contract to allow a longer lease. He asked the City Attorney if he was included in
the discussions of the contract terms. City Attorney Scott Snyder said he was privy to the pro-
cess for the previous contract. He noted that the agreement before the Council is another five-
year extension of the previous contract. He said the reason the contract has been presented to
the Council in that format, as opposed to an automatic extension, was because of an increase in
maintenance costs. Councilmember Hall suggested that the Council further discuss utilization of
the Senior Center, whether it remains at its current location or another, sometime in the future
but before the lease agreement expires.
COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO APPROVE ITEM (H). MOTION
CARRIED.

MENT. MOTION CARRIED.

Councilmember Nordquist inquired if the City Attorney had perused the contract. City Attorney
Scott Snyder replied affirmatively. He said the contract is a standard contract. He noted that
two changes were made at his request: 1) amendment of the hold harmless agreement; and 2) inclu-
sion of Article II to clarify that the professional services do not have to be contracted exclu-
sively by one individual.
COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO APPROVE ITEM (P). MOTION
CARRIED.

with a check for $300 to be applied towards the Youth Scholarship Fund.
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 2 DECEMBER 20, 1988
Mr. Stormo introduced members of the Board who were present: Christie Crow, Kim Scar, Diane
Sexton, and Brian McIntosh, the staff representative.
Mayor Naughten noted that the Edmonds Youth Activities Board sponsors several community events
throughout the year and is the only continual funding source for the Youth Recreation Scholarship
Fund. He said the Board has donated $1,425 to this fund over the past three years. He expressed
his appreciation to the Board for their efforts.
Council President Kasper noted that item #5, Hearing on Appeal of ADB Decision on Revision to
Elevations for Retail Store and Gas Canopy at 1011 Puget Drive, had been withdrawn from the agen-
da.
AUDIENCE
Mayor Naughten opened the audience portion of the meeting. No public input was offered. Mayor
Naughten closed the audience portion of the meeting.
HEARING ON REQUEST FOR SERVICE CLUB SIGNS
Assistant City Planner Duane Bowman reported that on November 15, 1988, Jeff Palmer presented the
City Council with a request to modify the City's sign code to allow service club signs. The
Council passed a motion to hold.a public hearing on Mr. Palmer's request.
Mr. Bowman said the Planning Board is currently reviewing the topic but has delayed further ac-
tion until sometime in 1989.
Mr. Bowman noted that copies of the minutes from the November 15, 1988 City Council meeting, the
proposal presented by Jeff Palmer, and the Planning Board minutes were included in the Council
packets.
Mr. Bowman said if, after taking public testimony, the City Council feels that changes in the
sign code are warranted, the matter should be referred to the Planning Board for a public hearing
on specific recommendations.
Councilmember Nordquist inquired if a recommendation from the Planning Board was made. Mr. Bow-
man said the Board has not resolved the matter and has postponed a decision until January 1989.
Councilmember Dwyer inquired if the Code defined service clubs. Mr. Bowman replied negatively.
Councilmember Dwyer inquired if the number of groups who may perceive themselves as service clubs
was established at the Planning Board meetings. Mr. Bowman replied negatively.
Mayor Naughten opened the public portion of the hearing.
Jeff Palmer, 17510 - 76th Ave. W., said the Council had an opportunity to contribute to the quali-
ty of life in the community by allowing service clubs to advertise on off -premise signs. He said
permitting a tastefully designed, well -constructed group sign at the main entrances to the City
for qualifying service clubs would recognize the contributions that those groups have made to the
City and would provide valued information to citizens of the community as well as to visitors.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired about Mr. Palmer's definition of qualifying service clubs. Mr.
Palmer said he felt service club signs should be limited to philanthropic service clubs that are
directly benefiting the Edmonds area and are officially recognized and qualify under the current
tax code as a nonprofit organization and who have a nondiscriminatory membership policy.
Reese Lewis, 1037 - 6th Ave. S., President of the Edmonds Rotary Club, said the Rotary Club is an
international organization. He said one of the prerequisites of membership is a good attendance
record. Mr. Lewis said it is very helpful to members who are in another city when they see a
sign with the Rotary Club emblem because they can locate the meeting place and attend that meet-
ing.
Milton Hassel, 717 - 4th Ave. S., said he has been a member of the Kiwanis Club for 42 years in 5
different communities. He said the other 4 communities prominently displayed the names of the
service clubs in the area on off -premise signs. Mr. Hassel said he has travelled extensively
throughout the United States and has located the Kiwanis Clubs because of directories. He point-
ed out that Edmonds is one of the few cities in the nation that does not provide such a sign.
In response to a question regarding the definition of service clubs, Mr. Hassel said the Kiwanis
Club provides services to the community such as: 1) tutoring students at the high
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 3 DECEMBER 20, 1988
school; 2) participation in Crime Watch Prevention; 3) volunteer services at the hospital; 4)
food collection for the indigent during the holiday season.
Mr. Hassel said he was unsure why a hearing to allow service club signs was necessary because it
was like having a hearing on Motherhood and Apple Pie because service clubs were a definite asset
to the City. He said its citizens should be proud of them. He requested the Council to show its
appreciation for Edmonds service clubs by voting in favor of the Code amendment.
Tom Snyder, 8204 - 182nd P1., spoke in favor of allowing off -premise signs for service clubs.
Mr. Snyder said he has been a member of the Lions Club for a number of years. He said the Club
has served the community in many ways, a few of which were: 1) installing fire pits at the
beach, 2) building a barbecue pit and picnic areas at the City park; 3) helping to maintain
Sierra Park; 4) purchase park benches; 5) donation of funds toward student scholarships; 6) sup-
port of a drug abuse prevention program at College Place Middle School.
Mr. Snyder said it would only be fitting for the Council to recognize the Club's accomplishments
by voting in favor of the off -premise signs.
Sam Walker, 22517 - 72nd Pl. W., member of the Edmonds Lions Club, spoke in favor of off -premise
signs for service clubs. He requested the Council to vote in favor of the Code amendment.
Robert Sims, 6507 - 191st. S.W., Lynnwood, President of the Edmonds Lions Club, spoke in favor of
allowing off -premise signs for service clubs.
Mr. Sims said he was unable to join the Lions Club for approximately one year after he moved to
Edmonds because he could not find the organization. He felt it would be in the best interest of
the community to approve the Code amendment.
Kirby White, 639 - 8th Ave. S., said other organizations in the community should not be
discriminately excluded from the off -premise service signs. He requested the Council to consider
allowing other groups, such as the Veterans Clubs and church organizations, on the sign because
he felt they have contributed more to the community.
David Page, 1233 Olympic View Dr., said feelings of patriotism and community involvement are
stirred when one travels to another city and sees service club signs.
Mr. Page said he was unaware of the existence of many of the service clubs in Edmonds because
there are no signs. He felt that a tasteful off -premise sign would be an asset to the community.
Dick Cassette, former President of the Edmonds Kiwanis Club and former Lieutenant Governor of
Division 22, pointed ouf that even the quaint town of Maple Valley permits an off -premise sign
for the Lions Club.
Mr. Cassette said the lack of support for service clubs in the community was prevalent. He re-
quested the Council to support the Code amendment.
Peter Peterson, 23008 - 107th P1. W., former President of the Kiwanis Club, present Commander of
the American Legion Post, spoke in favor of off -premise signs.
In response to Councilmember Hertrich's concern regarding the selection of organizations that
will be allowed on the sign, City Attorney Scott Snyder said the Council, if it approves the Code
amendment, must adopt a broad and general category. He advised the Council to consider discuss-
ing whether it should authorize off -premise signs on private property and public property with
some sort of use permit or on City -owned property.
Jack Corley, 4707 - 222nd S.W., Mountlake Terrace, member of the Kiwanis Club, said almost every
city in the United States allows off -premise signs for service clubs. Mr. Corley urged the Coun-
cil to look at signs in other cities to help determine which organizations to allow to advertise.
Bob Blackburn, 958 Daley St., member of the Lions Club, suggested that the Council focus on those
organizations that have contributed most prominently to the community when deciding which organ-
izations to advertise.
Mr. Hassel pointed out that service clubs are different from church organizations and the
American Legion Club in that those organizations are listed in the telephone directory whereas
service clubs are not. He said he has been a member of fraternal and church organizations, as
well as service clubs.
Mayor Naughten closed the public portion of the hearing.

Councilmember Hall inquired why administration has not approved directional signs "with the
stroke of a pen" rather than through the hearing process. She said she did not feel that a Code
amendment was necessary.
Councilmember Hall said directional signs assist newcomers in finding service clubs.
COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO ESTABLISH A SIGN BOARD TO BE LOCAT-
ED AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE CITY AND REMAND THE ISSUE TO THE PLANNING BOARD FOR A PUBLIC HEARING
AND RECOMMENDATION.
Mayor Naughten pointed out to Councilmember Hall that directional signs are on -premise signs and
that off -premise signs require a Code amendment.
Councilmember Jaech clarified, for the audience's benefit, that the Council has never been op-
posed to off -premise signs for service clubs.
Councilmember Dwyer recommended that Staff look at other off -premise signs in other cities to
determine the simplest means of accomplishing the Code amendment.
Councilmember Nordquist suggested that members of the various service clubs in the area look at
the design of service club signs in other cities and present that information to the Planning
Board.
MOTION CARRIED.
EXECUTIVE SESSION - LABOR NEGOTIATIONS AND LEGAL MATTERS
The Council recessed to an Executive Session at 8:04 p.m. to discuss labor negotiations and legal
matters and reconvened at 8:40 p.m.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO APPROVE ITEM (0) ON THE CONSENT
AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO EXTEND THE HEARING EXAMINER'S

AGENDA. MOTION CARRIED.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE 2696.AMENDING 1988 BUDGET AS A RESULT OF UNANTICIPATED TRANSFERS AND EXPEN-
DITURES OF VARIOUS FUNDS
Administrative Services Director Art Housler reported that previous actions taken by the City
Council transferred monies from various funds to other funds increasing the expenditures, which
requires the 1988 Budget to be amended. Mr. Housler said amendment of the budget is a housekeep-
ing task necessitated by legal audit requirements. State law requires that an ordinance be adopt-
ed whenever money is transferred from one fund to another.
Mayor Naughten inquired if anyone in the audience wished to comment on the matter. No public
input was offered.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 2696 AMENDING
THE 1988 BUDGET AS A RESULT OF UNANTICIPATED TRANSFERS AND EXPENDITURES OF VARIOUS FUNDS. MOTION
CARRIED.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE APPROVING 1989 BUDGET
Administrative Services Director Art Housler noted that the proposed ordinance includes Exhibit A
and contains figures which correspond to the discussion by the City Council as follows: 1) trans-
fer $127,105 ($149,300 less $22,195 for increases in Public Health and Sno-Isle Library Dis-
tricts) from the General Fund #001 to the Council Contingency Fund 9'119; 2) transfer $116,329
from the various departments/divisions of the General Fund #001 to the Council Contingency Fund
#119; 3) equipment totaling $95,668 will remain in the various departments/divisions of the Gener-
al Fund #001 but will be frozen until their purchase is approved by the Council; and 4) correc-
tions and adjustments identified when the City Council reviewed each department's budget with the
director.
Discussion ensued regarding the 1989 budget.
Councilmember Kasper requested Staff to provide the Council with a summary of the registration
and convention costs for 1989.
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO ISOLATE THE REGISTRATION AND
SEMINAR ITEMS FROM THE 1989 BUDGET AND FREEZE THOSE ITEMS UNTIL STAFF PROVIDES THE COUNCIL WITH A
SUMMARY OF THOSE COSTS ON JANUARY 3, 1989. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN. MOTION CARRIED WITH
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, COUNCILMEMBER HALL, COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, AND COUN-
CILMEMBER WILSON IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER DWYER AND COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH OPPOSED.
COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO APPROVE THE 1989 BUDGET AS AMEND-
ED.
Councilmember Jaech said a budget amendment was necessary to accomplish the action that was taken
during the Executive Session regarding the nonrepresented employees. City Attorney Scott Snyder
said that action could be accomplished by either making a motion to amend the budget by a specif-
ic figure or by making a motion to instruct him to prepare a salary ordinance at 3% and to make
appropriate transfers as part of the June 1989 budget.
Councilmember Hertrich noted that discussion had taken place in past meetings with respect to
budgetary shortfalls in the two years following 1989. He requested Police Chief Dan Prinz and
Fire Chief Jack Weinz to comment on their budgets.
Chief Weinz said the 1990 Fire Department budget figures were erroneous. He said funding for the
three additional firefighters, as requested, was included in the 88/89/90 budget but were later
deleted from the 89 budget. He said there were several other miscalculations in the three year
budget. He apologized for the incorrect information, noting that he overlooked those errors
because he had been working diligently on the 1989 budget.
Chief Prinz said the Police budget for 1990/91 was simply a wish list. He said he included an
additional detective in the 1990 budget and a part-time supervisor for the narcotics force.
Chief Prinz said he reduced the budget by $92,000.
A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN. MOTION FAILED WITH COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, COUNCILMEMBER WILSON, AND
COUNCILMEMBER JAECH IN FAVOR; COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, COUNCILMEMBER HALL, COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH,
AND COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST OPPOSED.
Councilmember Hertrich said he would not vote .to approve the budget unless the money in the Coun-
cil Contingency Fund was earmarked. COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED TO EARMARK FUNDS IN THE COUNCIL
CONTINGENCY FUND AS FOLLOWS: 1) $100,000 FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS; 2) $80,000 TO HIRE THREE ADDI-
TIONAL FIRE FIGHTERS ON MARCH 1, 1989; AND 3) $100,000 FOR THE POOL COVER AT YOST PARK. MOTION
FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Councilmember Wilson said allocation of those funds would be appropriately addressed in January
1989, as was customary.
Because the Council could not reach a consensus on the budget, a dinner meeting was scheduled on
December 27 to continue the discussion. Councilmember Hertrich then proposed another motion.
COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED TO APPROVE THE 1989 BUDGET WITH THE PROVISO THAT FUNDS ARE EARMARKED
IN THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND AS FOLLOWS: 1) $100,00 FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS; 2) $80,000 FOR
THREE ADDITIONAL FIREFIGHTERS TO BE HIRED ON MARCH 1, 1989; AND 3) $100,00 FOR A POOL COVER AT
YOST PARK; ALL PROJECTS TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL AND THE BALANCE OF THE FUNDS

COUNCIL
Councilmember Hertrich said he recently attended a Puget Sound Council of Governments (PSCOG)
meeting. He said the Council is still attempting to pass a resolution for an interlocal agree-
PC,ment. He said it was mentioned that the Port of Seattle has contracted with PSCOG to conduct a
study regarding the congestion at Sea-Tac International Airport. Councilmember Hertrich noted
that PSCOG has also undertaken a marketing study of the airport systems. He said members request-
ed that members of the community comprise a task force for that study. Discussion ensued regard-
ing the possible withdrawal of King County from the King County Subregional Council.
Councilmember Hall noted that the City Attorney will submit a restriction on sale of tobacco
products to minors ordinance to the Council in the near future.
Councilmember Wilson said he and the Mayor spoke with Superintendent of Schools Brian Benzel
because they are concerned about the closure of Edmonds High School. Councilmember Wilson said
he felt that Edmonds was entitled to a high school bearing its name.' He pointed out that if the
high school is closed, there will not be a single school within the City's boundaries with a
school named after Edmonds. He felt it was vital to the economic vitality, as well as to tradi-
tion, that the high school bear the name Edmonds High School.
Mayor Naughten adjourned the meeting at 10 p.m. COUNCILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEM-
BER JAECH, TO EXTEND THE MEETING FOR 5 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Wilson said a High School Merger Steering Committee will be established to address
the issue. He said he hoped the Council would unanimously send a letter to Mr. Benzel expressing
their concerns because he felt the Council had a responsibjlity to step forward and protect the
City in enhancing its real estate values and attract young families to the area. He said he has
refrained from involving himself with the closure of Edmonds High School up to the present but
had some regrets that he had done so. He said if the elected officials do not stand up for the
community, nobody will.
COUNCILMEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO WRITE A LETTER TO BRIAN BENZEL,
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, STATING THAT IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT AS THE LONG-TERM PLAN FOR THE HIGH
SCHOOL IS DEVELOPED THAT IT BE CALLED EDMONDS HIGH SCHOOL AND REQUEST THE SCHOOL BOARD TO TAKE
THE LEAD AND ESTABLISH THE NAME OF THE SCHOOL IMMEDIATELY. MOTION CARRIED.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO EXCUSE COUNCILMEMBER JAECH'S
ABSENCE FROM LAST WEEK'-S MEETING AND COUNCILMEMBER HALL'S ABSENCE ON NOVEMBER 22, 1988. MOTION
CARRIED.
Mayor Naughten adjourned the meeting at 10:18 P.M. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUN-
CILMEMBER WILSON, TO EXTEND THE MEETING. MOTION CARRIED.
Council President Kasper mentioned several items that would be discussed at the Council work
meeting next week.
Council President Kasper said he was personally, and not as a representative of Community or of
the City, investigating the possibility of relocating Community Transit station to the bus barn
property.
The meeting adjourned at 10:20 p.m.
THESE MINUTES ARE SUBJECT TO DECEMBER 27, 1988 APPROVAL.
