AUDIENCE
Jim Bartlett, 21420 96th Avenue, said the City is currently working on improvements to their
( street• which includes a sidewalk. They were told by Jim Walker last fall, that they would be
given the opportunity to discuss these improvements with the City staff prior to the work being
C
done. Thus far, however, he said the City has been unwilling to work with them. Mr. Bartlett
explained that the City intends to install an asphalt sidewalk with an asphalt mountable curb.
The citizens living in this area do not want this type of sidewalk. He expressed his concern
that a rolled curb would encourage people to misuse the sidewalk. He noted that this sidewalk
would continue to get more and more use and should be built in a manner as to accommodate years
of use.
Mr. Bartlett presented a petition to the Council regarding the quality of the sidewalk currently
being proposed by the City. The petition requested the City put cement sidewalks and cement
curbs along this street rather than asphalt. They also requested that the curbs be drop off
curbs rather than rolled curbs.
Mayor Naughten informed Mr. Bartlett that the City Council would review the petition request and
get back to the petitioners.
Jack Paxton, 938 Pine Street, said he has lived in his home for more than 30 years. He said he
enjoys walking in his neighborhood. He said the corner at 220th Street and 9th Avenue is the
most dangerous corner in the City for pedestrians. He said it is his opinion that those living
above 9th Avenue have been forgotten by the City. The City has put a lot of money into improve-
ments throughout the City, which are all great, but he wishes something could be done in his
neighborhood to allow the senior citizens to walk safely.
Mr. Paxton said he spoke with two of his friends who are engineers. They indicated that it is
more expensive for the City to install asphalt walkways in the City because they need to be re-
placed so often. Mr. Paxton suggested that perhaps an LID be created to pay for the improvements
to be made properly.
Mr. Paxton explained that 9th Avenue is a dangerous street because people tend to speed to get to
the freeway faster. There are hundreds of school age children everyday walking on this street
with no sidewalk. He said he discussed this dangerous situation with Mayor Naughten and speed
limit signs were immediately placed along the street. However, there is a need for a concrete
sidewalk.
Mr. Paxton said he has not seen any of the City Councilmembers in his neighborhood, with the
exception of Councilmember Dwyer and Mayor Naughten. He said the neighbors feel as though they
have been forgotten by the Council. He suggested that perhaps the City spends too much money in
the downtown area.
Mr. Paxton said that unless there are adequate sidewalks along this street, some children are
liable to be killed. Mr. Paxton also thanked the City Attorney for answering his letter.
Councilmember Hertrich arrived at the meeting at 7:15 p.m.
Les Stewart, 632 Second Avenue North, referred the Council to the sidewalk proposed along Casper
Street between Third and Sunset. He said that a concrete sidewalk should be constructed in this
location rather than just temporarily striping the edge of the road to allow an area for pedestri-
ans.
Mike Jenkins, 21425 96th Avenue West, said he is concerned about the sidewalk being proposed
along 96th Avenue. He felt the City should provide a cement sidewalk and curb that would last
for years. The current sidewalks within the City have been in place for many years. He did not
feel the asphalt sidewalks as proposed would last very long. He said no one on the City staff
would discuss this issue.
Rich Demeroutis, 921 Pine Street, said he had a concern regarding the Mayor's expense account.
He questioned whether the Mayor should be meeting people for business lunches at the expense of
the City.
Mayor Naughten clarified that all of his expenses are reviewed by the staff and the auditor and
are legal. The City is continually audited and each of these expenses is justified by the
State. He informed Mr.. Demeroutis that if he has a problem with the Mayor's expense account, he
should contact the State Auditor or the City Attorney.
Mr. Demeroutis stated his opinion that governmental officials should learn to economize more.
Mr. Demeroutis said he was concerned about the procedure for appointing a Councilmember to fill
the vacancy left by Mayor Naughten in 1984. He noted that after many ballots the Council nar-
rowed the decision to two candidates, but could not make a final decision between the two. He
inquired why the Mayor chose Councilmember Dwyer, when he was not one of the candidates in the
final ballots of the Council.
Mayor Naughten said he told the Council at that time that if they failed to make a decision, he
would do so himself, based on his judgement. That is when he decided to appoint Councilmember
Dwyer. EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

Councilmember Palmer said that in light of the number of sidewalk and street review issues
brought before the Council tonight, he suggested that Mr. Alberts, take a moment to bring the
Board up to date on what is actually happening.
Mr. Alberts said a work order for the improvements along Caspers Street has been issued. In re-
gard to the improvements along 96th, staff brought to Council in early July two options for a
walkway on the west side of 96th. One of these options was for a concrete curb with an asphalt
walkway and one was for an asphalt walkway with an asphalt roiled curb. Mr. Alberts said the
City's standard for this type of street has been the latter. Mr. Alberts indicated that a rolled
curb was also selected to allow bicyclists to easily get up on the walkway to avoid an accident,
if necessary.
Councilmember Palmer inquired if the 96th Street project is too far along to make changes if
desired. He also asked when the temporary improvements along Caspers Street will come back to
the Council for review. Mr. Alberts said the improvements along Caspers Street will come back to
the Council in six months. He also said that the 96th Street proposed improvements can be
changed up to approximately 10 days from now.
Councilmember Nordquist noted that tonight there appears to be a concern for school -age children
which should take precedent over bicyclists. Mr. Alberts agreed and said the reason for the
sidewalk is for the protection of the children.
Councilmember Kasper reminded the Council that there is a policy for sidewalks within the City
and children should be part of this policy. He noted that a previous Council ruling required all
people living along 9th Avenue to pay an assessment to develop concrete sidewalks and curbs. The
City has a policy for asphalt curbs and sidewalks on streets such as Caspers. If those living
along this street wish to create an LID for the concrete improvements, they should be given this
opportunity.
Mr. Alberts said if the Council recommends that a four -inch concrete curb be developed rather
than. a rolled asphalt curb, the difference in cost would be approximately $2,500. If the City
decides to develop a concrete curb and sidewalk, the difference in cost would be approximately
$10,000 to $15,000.
Councilmember Hertrich noted that the sidewalk in question is similar to other sidewalks on simi-
lar roads. Mr. Alberts said it is identical to what was built on 88th Street. Councilmember
Hertrich said he felt the only difference with this is the City widened the road a little to
accommodate both bicycles and pedestrians.
Councilmember Wilson inquired if it would be too late to place this item on the September 10
Community Services Committee agenda and then make a final decision at the Council Meeting on
September 17. Mr. Alberts said it would depend on whether or not this would include concrete
curbs. If so, he would have to check with the contractor.
Councilmember Kasper inquired if the people living along this street could create an LID. Mr.
Alberts said he did not think these people were given that option. Councilmember Kasper felt the
appropriate way to handle this problem is by offering the LID process to the neighbors.
Mr. Alberts said another possibility is to delete the walkway portion of the contract and save it
to do next spring.
Councilmember Palmer said he would like to put this issue on the September 10 meeting agenda for
a decision to be made. He asked that Mr. Alberts meet with members of the neighborhood and come
back with some options for the Council to review. He felt the Council could make a decision at
that meeting. It was agreed to discuss this at the Community Services Committee Meeting, and
then the Council would meet as a whole to make a decision.
Councilmember Hertrich said if you compare the proposed improvements with other similar streets
within the City, you will find it is consistent. The intent is to keep the street as residential
as possible. Part of the City's plan is to include walkways on any street being improved. If
the residents would like to have a concrete walkway, they could do so through the LID process.
Council President Wilson indicated that the public could attend the Community Services Committee
Meeting on September 10.
Councilmember Jaech recommended that staff bring information regarding the possibility of creat-
ing an LID for the project. If the City is to pay the cost, she would like to have cost esti-
mates and whether or not they would have to rebid the project to make the changes suggested by
the neighbors.
Councilmember Jaech said she would like to have minutes taken at the next Community Services
Meeting.

Councilmember Dwyer suggested that the Committee Meetings start at 7:00 p.m. and that the Council
meet as a whole at 8:30 p.m. to discuss this issue.
DISCUSSION OF 236TH STREET. S.W./238TH STREET S.W. TRAFFIC PROBLEMS
JA� , Gordy Hyde presented an overhead transparency of the exhibits included in the Council's packets
'(r depicting the temporary improvements which were made to the area. He said that during the trial
�period, staff found that the traffic volumes with the chicanes were reduced below the 1990 lev-
els. He noted that traffic volumes increased during the trial of the barricade.
Mr. Hyde said that since the Safeway store has only been open for 30 days, it is difficult for
staff to make a decision on the long-term impact this store will have on the traffic in the ar-
ea. Because of this, he recommended that the trial period be extended for 45 more days to allow
the staff more time to conduct their study.
Mr. Hyde indicated that the chicanes have created problems with the current school bus routes.
He said he is working with school district to come up with alternative routes. He said that at
this time, the children are being required to walk all the way to 76th Avenue to catch the bus.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired how the warning signs read and where they are located. Mr. Hyde
pointed out on he map where the signs are located. He said the signs indicate that there is no
exit route, what the speed limit is, that chicanes are located on the street, etc. He indicated
that drivers do not typically obey signs only. If there were only signs to indicate that the
street is not a through street, there would be a large increase in traffic.
Councilmember Hertrich said the signs do not stand out until he enters the street. He wondered
if better location of the signs would prevent people from entering the street before they see the
signs.
Mr. Hyde explained some of the difficulties of relying on signs to discourage through traffic.
Mr. Hyde said he has not received many negative calls regarding the temporary plans. Since there
was a lot of opposition on this project, he assumes that there are no complaints to what has been
done.
Councilmember Nordquist said he has received many comments regarding the possibility of moving
the light north so that the traffic comes out of 236th.
Councilmember Nordquist said that in April there was a list of suggestions made by the staff to
try to solve the problem. He said the staff has tried these suggestions and he suggested the
Council set a date certain for the staff to review this situation before the roads get icy and
dangerous.
Mr. Hyde said he would also prefer to set a date certain for this review. He said he is current-
ly working with the school district to come up with an alternative route to avoid the Chicanes.
Councilmember Nordquist noted that some of the neighbors are in the audience and may wish to
inform the Council as to how the temporary changes have worked.
Don Larsen, 23818 78th Avenue West, said he appreciates all the efforts of City Staff. They have
never had any problems with staff not returning their calls. Mr. Larsen said one problem with
the temporary changes is that the first sign you see from the Safeway is the chicane sign. The
no exit sign is not visible until after you enter the street. He said people often enter the
street and end up trying to turn around the chicanes. He said it is difficult to sign this area.
Mr. Larsen said the traffic is lower since the temporary changes have occurred. However, there
is a little bit more noise because of the stop signs. People tend to rev up their motors. He
said he is in favor of extending the trial period for 45 additional days to study the traffic
impacts created by the Safeway store.
Mr. Larsen said that prior to the opening of the Safeway, it was extremely rare to have to wait
through more than one light to get across Highway 99. Now it is common to have to wait through
two or three lights to cross Highway 99.
Mr. Larsen said he appreciates what has been done to protect the residents of this neighborhood.
He is in favor of waiting to allow staff time to review the Safeway impact.

Councilmember Dwyer said he noticed that the signs identifying the speed bumps are almost on top
of the bumps, In suggested that the bumps be painted. Mr. Alberts indicated that this would be
done.
Councilmember Palmer expressed his concern about children having to walk all the way to 76th
Street to meet the bus. He found this to be an unacceptable situation. Mr. Hyde said he is
currently working with the school district to solve this problem.
Councilmember Nordquist suggested that the no outlet sign be moved closer to Highway 99.
The Council decided to extend the trial period to October 1, 1991 and scheduled a public hearing
on that date.
AUTHORIZATION TO NOTIFY SNOHOMISH COUNTY OF THE PROPOSED URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY FOR THE CITY
&WPt ob Chave referred the Council to two draft letters in their packets. The second letter was the
letter the staff would like to send to King County to let them know the City is interested in
urban areas extending into King County. He said he also attended a meeting to let King County
and Seattle know the City is interested in working with them.
Mr Chave said this is just the beginning of the discussion. Snohomish County has asked the City
to let them know, in a general way, what areas they are interested in. The City is not limited
to these areas or they can drop some of the areas if they choose to do so. These are just gener-
al boundaries to discuss where urban growth should be located. In the case of Edmonds, the
project will be working with neighboring cities to find out where the annexations will occur.
Mr. Chave reviewed the boundaries suggested by staff to be included in the urban growth project
of the City. These boundaries are listed in the Council's packets. He noted that there will be
overlapping areas and the County and other cities realize this. These overlapping areas will be
resolved by the cities working together through interlocal agreements with each other.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired at what point the cities would begin creating the interlocal
agreements.
Mr. Chave said Snohomish County Tomorrow is developing a model interlocal agreement. They are
trying to determine what areas need to be looked at as needing an interlocal agreement. All the
cities interested in a particular area will get together to create an interlocal agreement to
determine annexation boundaries.
Councilmember Hertrich said he is concerned that the City is competing for annexation areas with
other jurisdictions. Mr. Chave said at this point, there is no competition. Councilmember
Hertrich asked how important the interlocal agreements are as far as the State is concerned. Mr.
Chave explained that the State does not mandate that you have interlocal agreements. The State
wants the cities to coordinate the planning.
Councilmember Hertrich said he is concerned about the transportation issue, particularly rail
transit --how much influence will the City have as to the routes and how these routes will impact
the City. He inquired if there is any higher force which would require the local jurisdictions
to work together.
City Attorney Snyder said the issue raised by Councilmember Hertrich is not addressed by the
Growth Management Act. As far as a resolution mechanism, Mr. Snyder said part of the discussion
while drafting the preliminary interlocal agreement was some form of resolution mechanism as well
as interrelating the interlocal agreements so that the cities can require other cities to honor
their interlocal agreements. These issues will go back to those putting the interlocal agree-
ments together.
Council President Wilson asked when the staff needs to have a decision on the Urban Growth bounda-
ries. Mr. Chave said the staff would like to have the Council's approval for the letter to-
night. They would like to be well into the process of specific interlocal agreements by November
1991.
Council President Wilson inquired if Mr. Chave would be reporting to the Community Services Com-
mittee periodically. Mr. Chave indicated that he would.
Councilmember Kasper inquired why the transportation issues do not include a discussion of the
ferry system. He felt this should be part of the discussion and concerns. Mr. Chave indicated
that as part of the transportation discussion, he would make sure that the ferry system is also
included.
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 5 September 3, 1991
Mr. Chave indicated that the interlocal agreements have been drafted and will come before the
Council in the next two months.
Councilmember Palmer inquired how the staff determined what the boundaries would be. He inquired
why the boundary stopped at the Mukilteo Speedway rather than extending to Highway 99. Mr. Chave
said the boundaries were chosen because they were easy to identify.
Mr. Snyder said if an area is not included in the urban growth area, the City cannot have the
opportunity to annex it.
COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO APPROVE THE LETTER AS SUBMIT-
TED BY STAFF AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO NOTIFY SNOHOMISH COUNTY OF THE PROPOSED URBAN GROWTH
BOUNDARY FOR THE CITY OF EDMONDS. MOTION CARRIED.
CITY ATTORNEY
Mr. Snyder clarified Mayor Naughten's comments made earlier to Mr. Demeroutis in which he suggest-
ed that Mr. Demeroutis take any of his concerns regarding the Mayor's expense account to the City
Attorney. Actually, these concerns should go to the State Auditor. Mr. Snyder said that if Mr.
Demeroutis should contact him, he would give him this information.
Mr. Snyder said that on August 6, 1991, Councilmember Hertrich made a motion, seconded by Council -
member Jaech, to approve the purchase of a new sewer TV camera with the balance of the budgeted
_ funds to be returned to the Council Contingency fund. He indicated that the funds were to come
from the equipment rental fund. The rules for this fund state that funds cannot be transferred
to any other account. He suggested the Council make a motion to change this and he noted staff
would have to return to Council for any other spending from the fund.
COUNCILMEMBER HERTRICH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, TO AMEND THE MOTION AS SUGGESTED
BY THE CITY ATTORNEY AND THAT THE REMAINING FUNDS REMAIN IN THE EQUIPMENT RENTAL ACCOUNT. MOTION
CARRIED.
Mr. Snyder said he met with Judge Conroy regarding the change in bench warrant court rules and
will have an ordinance and memorandum for the Council's review on September 16 to recriminalize
the actions. He said one of the stumbling blocks in recriminalizing has been the public defender
costs, and he noted that Lynnwood has negotiated a fixed rate. He suggested that part of the
discussion to recriminalize be to set a fixed amount for the public defender fee. That way, the
City would not have to worry that by recriminalizing it would be opening the door to additional
costs.
Councilmember Dwyer inquired what the Council should do if the public defender does not agree to
a flat fee. He asked approximately how much the cost would be to continue in the current situa-
tion and add on the additional charges. Councilmember Dwyer requested estimates for this to
help the Council know what the flat should be.
Mr. Snyder referred the Council to the appeal filed on behalf of Del Lowell. The Council con-
curred that they should hold an executive session at the completion of the Council portion of the
agenda to discuss this legal matter.
COUNCIL
Council President Wilson inquired what the Council decided regarding the Korean Veterans Memori-
al. The Council indicated this will be discussed during the budget process.
Councilmember Kasper inquired when the contract for the Municipal Court Judge would be up. Ms.
Parrett said she would check this and advise the Council.
COUNCILMEMBER JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PALMER, TO APPROVE THE ABSENCES LAST WEEK
FOR COUNCILMEMBER KASPER AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT WILSON. MOTION CARRIED, WITH COUNCIL PRESIDENT
WILSON ABSTAINING FROM THE VOTE.
Councilmember Palmer referred to a memo from Administrative Services Director, Art Housler, re-
garding the designation of someone at the Council meetings as Deputy City Clerk. Mr. Housler's
suggestion was that the City Attorney be deputized as the Deputy City Clerk during the next six
months. Councilmember Palmer did not feel that would be appropriate. He said there are some
legal issues wherein there could be a problem that the City Attorney might have to be both a
witness and the City Attorney, and that would be inappropriate. It was noted also that the City
Attorney is not an employee, and this person should be an employee. Councilmember Palmer suggest-
ed that the minute taker be appointed, or if Mr. Housler were present he could take that role.
EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 6 September 3, 1991
Mayor Naughten said he would provide a recommendation to the Council. Councilmember Hertrich
added that he believed Councilmember Palmer's comments to be correct, that appointing the City
Attorney would be inappropriate and expensive. And he felt it was up to the Mayor to provide a
Deputy Clerk.
Mr. Snyder said he has mentioned his reservations of acting as Deputy City Clerk to some of the
Councilmembers. He said that although he does not want to be the official clerk, he would help
the minute taker as she becomes familiar with the Council meetings.
Councilmember Nordquist said he received letters regarding the light on Third Avenue and Main.
He said he went back through the minutes of January 10, 1989, when this light was approved. When
the light was discussed, the concern at that time was a death which occurred in that area. He
said he did not remember approving a flashing light. It was his understanding that the light was
to be operated 24 hours a day. He said people are confused by this light.
Community Services Director Peter Hahn agreed and said he personally thinks the light should
operate as a fully operating traffic signal 24 hours a day.
COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER JAECH, THAT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT BE RE-
TURNED TO 24 HOUR A DAY OPERATION RATHER THAN A FLASHING LIGHT. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Palmer noted that there was no need to make a motion because there was never any
direction given by Council to change the light to flashing operation.
Councilmember Hertrich said the flashing lights have helped move the traffic line-ups because the
sequencing has not worked as well as it should. He suggested that staff look into the sequencing
of the light to make sure it turns more frequently.
Councilmember Hertrich thanked Councilmember Palmer for filling in on the Telephone System Commit-
tee when Councilmember Nordquist was not available. He believed the Committee was able to answer
most of the questions they had. There is one item left to resolve before the final conclusion.
They'are close to a new telephone system for the City.
Councilmember Dwyer observed that when the Council made the change in the Public Disclosure re-
uirements, they created a situation where the four current Councilmembers running for reelection
� had to file with the City Clerk while the people running against them did not. He felt this is
unfair. He said he would like to see some way to require all people running on the ballot to
file with the City Clerk and that it be done prior to the General Election.
Councilmember Palmer agreed and said that this would not require additional reporting, but just a
duplicate filing. He asked that Mr. Snyder give the Council suggestions for changing this.
Councilmember Dwyer inquired how the City of Lynnwood pays for its float which goes to various
parades. If it is a city effort, he suggested the Council discuss the possibility of the City
doing a float.
Reflecting on citizen comments this evening, Councilmember Dwyer said one of the problems with
improving the downtown areas is that as this is done, people who do not live in the immediate
downtown area wonder where their piece of it is. He felt this will come up more and more and the
Council should keep this in mind and consider all of the City..
The Council recessed into a 15-minute executive session at 8:45 p.m. after which the meeting was
adjourned.
THESE MINUTES ARE SUBJECT TO SEPTEMBER 17, 1991 APPROVAL.
THE OFFICIAL SIGNED COPY OF THESE MINUTES IS ON FILE IN THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.
