COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER EARLING, FOR APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF JUNE 23, 1992 AS SUBMITTED. MOTION CARRIED. APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO MINUTE TAKER CONTRACT WITH KARIN NOYES FOR PROVISION OF ADDITIONAL MEET- INGS Item on the onsent Agenda ��.. Council President Palmer said the Hearing Examiner prepares Findings, which are detailed enough so that Minutes are not necessary. Council President Palmer said he hasn't heard any pressing need that minutes should also be provided. Rob Chave, Planning Manager, said presently, the Hearing Examiner meetings are taped and the Examiner prepares a report on his findings and conclusions, but there are no minutes prepared. Mr. Chave said this is the only public hearing situation for which minutes are not prepared, however, the budget includes money to contract for a minute taker for the Hearing Examiner. Mr. Chave said his intent to is implement this procedure on a trial basis; if the minutes do not provide any useful addition to the record, they will not continue the funding in next year's budget. Council President Palmer said even though money is included in the budget for this purpose, there first has to exist a need to have the minutes prepared and he hasn't heard that need. Mr. Chave said the members of the Community Services Committee were consulted on this and it was agreed that the full Council should consider the proposal. Councilmember Earling said he and Councilmember Nordquist, members of the Community Services Com- mittee, support the proposal on a trial basis to see if the minutes provide any usefulness. Councilmember Kasper said the tapes are available if more information is needed than what is provided in the Hearing Examiner's Findings. Councilmembers discussed implementing the procedure on a trial basis. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER FOR DISCUSSION, TO IMPLEMENT THE PROCEDURE ON A THREE MONTH TRIAL BASIS. Under discussion, Councilmember Dwyer said. at the request of the Council, the Hearing Examiner now provides detailed information in his findings. Councilmember Dwyer said if minutes are also prepared, he is afraid the Findings might then contain less information. Councilmember Dwyer said the proposed procedure of having minutes prepared might be fixing a problem that does not exist. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER WITHDREW HIS MOTION, AND THE SECONDER AGREED. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO TABLE THE DISCUSSION. MOTION CARRIED. APPROVAL OF EDMONDS ARTS COMMISSION GRANTS TO OLYMPIC BALLET $2 000 AND EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM 2,000 Item H on t e Consent Agenda. Councilmember Earling said he fully approves of the the grants by the Edmonds Art Commission. Councilmember Earling said he would simply like to voice his displeasure over the action of late by the Republican Party to abolish the National Endowment for the Arts. Councilmember Earling said this is absolutely objectionable. Councilmember Earling said he is disgusted that the Repub- lican Party is focusing on a few grants that are given each year that are in fact, perhaps, not in the best of taste, and to abolish a program like the National Endowment for the Arts over small issues such as those grants is not right. COUNCILMEMBER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL - MEMBER PETRUZZI, FOR APPROVAL OF EDMONDS ARTS COMMISSION GRANTS TO OLYMPIC BALLET ($2,000) AND EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT "ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE" PROGRAM ($2,000).

CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 2 JULY 7, 1992 City Attorney John Wallace said the legal description could be attached to the findings and con- clusions and record those against the legal description.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Lawrence McLean, 7732 195th Street S.W., Edmonds, said the Contractor started clearing the land as of this day with regards to Items (I) and (J) (construction of a 7-unit apartment at 7801 and 7807 196th St. ,S.W.) Mr. McLean said this has been done without the necessary permits and further stated that none of the requirements or agreements have been adhered to. Mr. McLean asked Council - members to look into the matter. Mayor Hall said she would look into the matter. City Attorney John Wallace said the Findings which he prepared contain language that the Council would retain jurisdiction on the particular project in the event that the applicant didn't follow the requirements set forth. Billie Geveshauson, 7731 196th Street S.W., agreed with Mr. McLean and said the applicant has started to clear the land, and said there are many animals in the area of the subject clearing, however, animal control has not been called -to survey the area for animal life. With no other member of the audience wishing to come forward, Mayor Hall closed the public por- tion of the hearing. HEARING ON HEARING EXAMINER'S RECOMMENDATION ON PROPOSED STREET VACATION OF A PORTION OF 174TH STREET .W., WES F MEAD WDALE BEACH ROAD (APPLICANT: I OF EDMONDS AND MARK VAN E L NO. ST-92-100 AND ADOPTION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE 2892. Rob Chave, Planning Manager, said the City of Edmonds and Mark VanDeyacht have requested the City to vacate a portion of the undeveloped 174th Street Southwest right-of-way lying south of and adjacent to 6830 Meadowdale Beach Road. A staff advisory report was prepared by the Planning Division staff and presented to the Hearing Examiner during the public hearing on the matter with a recommendation for approval. The Hearing Examiner held a public hearing on the request on May 21, 1992, and issued his recommendation for approval on June 4, subject to conditions contained within his report. It was noted the Hearing Examiner recommends approval of the vacation, and in exchange for the vacation, the Applicant would dedicate approximately 15' feet by 90' of the improved 174th Street SW developed roadway. Mr. Chave recommended that the Council adopt the recommendations of the Hearing Examiner, and adopt the ordinance to approve the street vacation. Councilmember Hall asked Mr. Chave to illustrate the proposed vacation as well as the property the City would receive in exchange. Mr. Chave obliged. Public Testimony Mark VanDeyacht, 6830 Meadowdale Beach Road, said if he Council approves the requested vacation, he would be using the property to continue beautification efforts for the neighborhood by provid- ing landscaping in the area. Gary Shimek, 6728 174th S.W., Edmonds, illustrated for the City Council, a potential land swap that he is interested in executing with the City. Councilmember Kasper said he is concerned that would leave a triangle of land that would not be attached to anything. As the ordinance for this item was in the process of being photocopied for Council review, COUN- CILMEMBER HALL MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO DELAY ACTION ON THE ITEM UNTIL AFTER ITEM 9, SO THE COUNCIL COULD HAVE THE ORDINANCE BEFORE THEM. MOTION CARRIED. S ,.�P FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF SIX -YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND ADOPTION OF RESOLU- TION rom Hearing on June 16 199 Bob Alberts, City Engineer, said the draft Six -Year Transportation Program was discussed at the May and June Community Services Committee meetings. Following the committee meetings, a final CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 3 JULY 7, 1992 draft was prepared and presented at the June 16, 1992 public hearing. Based on the comments at the public hearing, the final Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program has been prepared. Mr. Alberts recommended approval of the Six -Year Transportation Program by adopting Resolution 749. Council Discussion and Deliberation COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER EARLING, FOR APPROVAL OF SIX -YEAR TRANS- PORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 749. MOTION CARRIED. DISCUSSION OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW OF SUB -STANDARD LOT COMBINATIONS Rob Chave, Planning Manager, said on April 14, 1992, the Community Services Committee discussed a situation involving the development of sub -standard lots. In brief, an Edmonds resident owns two adjoining lots. Separately, the lots do not meet the minimum lot size required by the zone, there- fore, the code requires that the lots be combined for building purposes. The owner was not aware of this situation until recently; he had assumed that each of the lots was buildable. Mr. Chave said this similar situation exists in other parts of the City as well. Mr. Chave said the Community Services Committee, City Attorney, and himself discussed the situa- tion and concluded that the issue should be examined as part of the city's comprehensive planning process with possible incorporation into final recommendations that would come before the Coun- cil. The issues that would be explored include how to encourage affordable housing, how to encour- age infill development that would be compatible with neighborhood character, and what types of sub -standard lots might meet these considerations. The Community Services Committee also agreed that the full City Council should be apprised of this issue and its possible consideration in the city's new comprehensive plan and implementing regulation. Council Discussion and Deliberation Councilmember Dwyer said he would like to see the City get creative to the extent that the City can allow PRD's in situations like the one described, as well as other similar situations. Coun- cilmember Dwyer said as the City deals with the Growth Management requirements, it may behoove the City to try and find more flexible ways to get more single family homes into the community so the City is not taking up all of the growth in multi -family dwellings. Councilmember Dwyer said over the next year, the City may want to examine lot sizes, and given what the City is projecting will happen over the next century with regards to the increase in population, the City may want to be a little more flexible in lot sizes. Councilmember Petruzzi complimented Mr. Chave for bring the subject up, and feels the direction the subject has taken is the correct one. Councilmember Earling said he and Councilmember Nordquist, both members of the Community Services Committee, were in favor of bringing this subject forward. Councilmember Earling said he can see where certain individuals are negatively affected by current zoning standards in particular cases. Councilmember Kasper said you have to be careful with putting 2-story housing on narrow lots, especially with less than 10' side yards. Councilmember Kasper said the adjacent property owners to the type of properties discussed should also have their voices heard in the matter. Council President Palmer said he would also like to see some analysis of the multiple residential and commercial zones. Councilmember Earling asked Mr. Chave what advise Staff is giving individuals who are calling the City with the type of situations as has been discussed. Mr. Chave said the individuals are encour- aged to attend the Comprehensive Plan Meetings and Open Houses, and to submit their opinions in writing to the City. As this was a discussion item, no action was taken by the City Council. CONTINUATION OF ITEM 3 Proposed Ordinance 2892, relating to Item 3 was distributed to the Mayor and Council by City Clerk Rhonda March. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS ITEM AT THE -PRESENT TIME. MOTION CARRIED. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 4 JULY 7, 1992 COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2892, VACAT- ING A PORTION OF THE 174TH STREET SOUTHWEST RIGHT-OF-WAY LYING WEST OF MEADOWDALE BEACH ROAD AND NORTH OF DEVELOPED 174TH STREET SOUTHWEST AND FIXING A TIME -WHEN THE SAME SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE. MOTION CARRIED. PRESENTATION OF MID -YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT Art Housler, Administrative Services Director, reported the revenue percentage to budget (49.4) was the same as in 1991. However, at the end of May, revenues were 40.3% of the budget, compared to 38.2% in 1991. Mr. Housler said expenditures for 1992 were only 46.6% of budget compared to 47% in 1991. The stabilization occurred in three major revenue sources; Property Tax, Sales Tax, and Utility Taxes. 1 Mr. Housler noted that all other major revenue categories except taxes are better than in 1991. i a He said the economy is very fragile and said a true indication of just how fragile the economy is will occur in July when the sales tax equalization will be distributed, which represented econom- ic activity through the State of Washington. In conclusion, Mr. Housler said there has been a weakening in the financial position of the General Fund due to directly receipting $202,750 of property tax revenues into the Council Contingency Fund and somewhat of a shortfall in two major revenue sources. Mr. Housler recommending using caution in spending. Mr. Housler proceeded to illustrate the finan- cial picture of the City by using various view -foils, including a Revenue/Expenditure History vs 1992 Actual To Budget, and a Cash Flow Statement - General Fund, for the period ending June 30, 1992. It was the consensus of the Council to continue discussion on this item on the July 28 City Coun- cil.Agenda, as the reports had been recently distributed to the Council. Council President Palmer noted that the City Council took the correct action in 1991 when it eliminated approximately One million dollars from the 1992 budget. He said if the Council had not taken that action, the City would have had to take drastic measures at this point in efforts to balance the budget. CONTINUED REVIEW OF NEW PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY Noel Miller, Public Works Superintendent, said this is a continuation of the June 23, 1992 Coun- v 0 cil meeting discussion regarding design and funding concerns for the proposed Public Works Facili- ty at 212th Street S.W. and 72nd Ave. West. At the request of the Council, Lee Pardini, principal t1L of the design firm of Merritt and Pardini, will give a presentation which revises the project P �,b elements and project costs. These revisions are suggestions from the designer and staff to help Vv D e,5 reduce the initial overall project cost to a total of $3 million. Mr. Miller said funding for the project is based on a contribution schedule in accordance with City Council Resolution 723 passed October 15, 1992. Mr. Miller said that in the event that the Council is not agreeable to what Mr. Pardini will be presenting, the Council should be aware that certain program elements will be have to be pursued next year, specifically the fueling station, factor waste disposal facility, and a new wa- ter/sewer telemetry system at a total cost of $350,000. Lee Pardini, principal of Merritt and Pardini, introduced Randy Cooke, associate of Merritt & Pardini. Mr. Pardini noted Mr. Cooke has had a great deal of involvement in the project. Mr. Pardini said he has pared down certain aspects of the Public Works Facility to come more in line with the $3 million dollar project cost the Council had requested. Mr. Pardini reviewed all of the preliminary revisions to the project and said the total project cost now has a figure of $3,385,917 versus the previous figure of $4,887,666. Councilmember Kasper said a public hearing should be held concerning the way the building is located on the property and said the building will have to be redesigned. Councilmember Kasper said the proposed layout plot plan is showing the unloading/loading of trucks on the site closest to the residential areas on 210th and feels it should be moved 300 feet farther south. Councilmember Petruzzi asked why only the Public Works Facility was being considered at this time. Councilmember Petruzzi said the City as a whole has a space needs problems, and the Public Works Facility is only one aspect of the total space needs. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 5 JULY 7, 1992 Councilmember Kasper said at one point previous, the City had the opportunity to purchase the property at 212th which they did. Councilmember Kasper said it was decided it would make a good location for a Public Works Facility as it was out of the bowl, and all of Public Works could be located there. Councilmember Kasper said the City was also contemplating placing the Fire Station at the present Public Works Site. In essence, Councilmember Kasper said the opportunity present- ed itself for the City to go ahead with the planning of a new Public Works Facility at 212th. Council President Palmer said this is only one aspect of the City's needs, and feels the City should move forward on the total space needs for the City so financing and other aspects could be discussed. Council President Palmer agreed, however, that the proposed Public Works Facility should progress through the planning stages. Councilmember Dwyer asked Mayor Hall what her recommendation is with regards to the progress of this item. Mayor Hall said she believes the Space Needs Study should be implemented, however, feels the Proposed Public Works Project is a priority and work should continue regarding the design, financing, etc. The Council agreed that the subject would be discussed amongst the Finance Committee and Art Housler, then the subject would be placed back on the Council Agenda for full Council discussion. The Mayor and Council complimented Mr. Pardini on the work performed to date. CONTINUED REVIEW OF DRAFT INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH SNOHOMISH COUNTY ON PLANNING IN URBAN GROWTH AREAS Rob Chave, Planning Manager, and the City Council discussed and reviewed the Draft Interlocal Agreement listed as Exhibit 1 in the Agenda Packet. Mr. Chave referenced the Draft Interim Annexa- tion Policy which was attached to the Interlocal Agreement. Councilmember Petruzzi said Snohomish County is basically making policy, and asking other enti- ties to agree. Councilmember Petruzzi said Snohomish County Tomorrow should utilize Roberts Rules so that a formal vote could be taken on the various issues. As it is, they operate on a consen- sus, and the smaller cities do not get their voices heard. Councilmembers agreed. Councilmember Petruzzi said he would feel more comfortable if the City had a ratification procedure such as King County utilizes. Councilmember Petruzzi said he will not vote for any interlocal agreement until these concerns are dealt with. Mayor Hall agreed with Councilmember Petruzzi in that Snohomish County Tomorrow does operate on a consensus basis. Mayor Hall said it is difficult for the smaller cities to be heard using this basis, as Snohomish County representatives out number the other entities. As a procedural matter, COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO EXTEND THE MEETING 30 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED. Council President Palmer outlined several of his concerns regarding the Interlocal Agreement. It was the consensus of the Council to submit a letter to the Mayor addressing the specific concerns of the Council regarding the Draft Interlocal Agreement, which will then be forwarded to Snohomish County Tomorrow. REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF PROPOSED TRAVEL EXPENSE ORDINANCE Brent Hunter, Personnel Manager, referenced the Proposed Travel Expense Ordinance and asked for I Council comments and/or approval. Councilmember Kasper said he doesn't think it is equitable for the Mayor not to be allowed to be LyLs reimbursed for local mileage. Councilmember Kasper says the Mayor accrues the majority of her C travel within city limits. L� Councilmember Kasper asked if the Expense Ordinance overrides the Budget process. Mr. Hunter said his recommendation would be to direct the Mayor and•Staff to remove all out of state travel out of the budget at the time of developing it. Councilmember Kasper said he has asked for this, but no action has been taken to date. Councilmember Kasper said he has requested Finance to provide him with documents relating to out of state travel information, etc, however he has not received anything. Councilmember Kasper said he would not support the Travel Expense Ordinance for that reason, and also he can't support the Ordinance as he is being told the Budget does not override the Policy. COUNCILMEMBER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO APPROVE TRAVEL EXPENSE ORDI- NANCE 2893. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Kasper voting no. Councilmember Kasper asked Art Housler to provide him with the documents he previously requested. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 6 JULY 7, 1992 MAYOR Mayor Hall referenced three liquor license applications submitted for Council approval: Hagen dba Top Foods; Taste of Seafood; and Alpha Investment, Inc. Mayor Hall noted Police Chief Dan Prinz has recommended approval for all three. No objections were made by Councilmembers. Mayor Hall asked for confirmation of Planning Board Candidate Rudy Jones, who would serve as an Alternate Member. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER EARLING, FOR ACCEP- TANCE OF RUDY JONES FOR THE ALTERNATE POSITION ON THE PLANNING BOARD. MOTION CARRIED with Council - member Dwyer abstaining, as he was not present during the interview. Mayor Hall noted Mr. Hank Lewis has notified the City that he will be resigning from the Planning Board. Mayor Hall said Mr. Lewis has served the City well for 12 years. Mayor Hall said the 4th of July Parade and Fireworks Show was a success despite the rainy weather. COUNCIL Council President Palmer said the issue of Fire Consolidation will be discussed at the upcoming Finance Committee at Councilmember Kasper's request. Council President Palmer referenced a memo from City Attorney John Wallace regarding the appoint- ment of a City Council President Pro-Tem. Council President Palmer said he will place this issue on the July 21 Council Agenda. Councilmember Earling complimented Staff on the mailer recently distributed to Edmonds' residents concerning upcoming Growth Management open houses. Councilmember Earling referenced a Growth Management Seminar he recently attended and said the Council Assistant provided the materials from that meeting to all Councilmembers. Councilmember Earling said he has additional information concerning the Growth Management Act if Councilmembers were interested. �1 I Councilmember Petruzzi asked the Council Assistant to provide him a copy of the Finance Committee Minutes from June 9, 1992. ,/t UJ" Councilmember Petruzzi referenced a newspaper article written by State Senator Gary Nelson regard- ing Paine Field.
