Mr. Petruzzi said he is concerned with ��D potential health problems. Noel Miller, Public Works Superintendent, said the Health Department was, notified as soon as the problem was brought to the City's attention. COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES FROM BRUCE D. REID ($742.52). MOTION CARRIED. AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED WITH REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR LEASED OPERATIONS OF DAYCARE/PRESCHOOL AT ANDERSON CENTER Item M on the Consent Agenda Councilmember Kasper is concerned over the proposed length of the lease. Councilmember Kasper said the lease should only be for a period of one year, with a 60-day notice to vacate by the City. Councilmember Kasper said because of City space needs, the City will very likely need every bit of space possible, and said he wouldn't support the proposal unless the length of the lease was reduced. Arvilla Ohlde, Parks and Recreation Manager, said the mission of the Parks and Recreation Divi- sion, as mandated by the Council, is for recreation use. Ms. Ohlde said the Francis Anderson Cen- ter should carry out that primary mission. Ms. Ohlde said the previous daycare operation was in existence at the Anderson Center for 18 years. Ms. Ohle said there is a community need for long term quality daycare. It was noted the previous daycare owner retired. COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, FOR AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED WITH REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR LEASED OPERATIONS OF DAYCARE/PRESCHOOL AT ANDERSON CENTER. MOTION CAR- RIED with Councilmember Kasper voting no. AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL FOUR-WAY RED FLASHING LIGHT AT 9TH AND 220TH ($2,500.00 Item N on the Consent A enda Councilmember Petruzzi asked City Engineer Bob Alberts on the effectiveness of the four-way stop. Mr. Alberts said it seems to be working well, and the number of complaints have been greatly re- duced. It was noted there are traffic backups at certain times, however, Mr. Alberts said the primary purpose of installing the four-way stop was to increase safety at the intersection, and Mr. Alberts said the four-way stop appears to be achieving that goal. COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO GRANT AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL A FOUR-WAY RED FLASHING LIGHT AT 9TH AND 220TH ($2,500.00) MOTION CARRIED. AUTHORIZATION TO CONTRACT WITH SHELDON AND ASSOCIATES FOR CRITICAL AREAS MAPPING $14,700 (Item p 0 on the Consent A enda C✓ a 5r Councilmember Kasper asked for more information regarding the proposed contract with Sheldon and �J Associates. Councilmember Kasper asked why the City isn't going out for bid on the area mapping. Rob Chave, Planning Manager, said Sheldon and Associates are very familiar with what has to be done, and are also very familiar with the City's ordinance on the subject, as well as the current mapping. In light of this, he doesn't think going out to bid would result in less expense to the City. Councilmember Kasper inquired on the process to be used in mapping the city. Mr. Chave said there is a host of resource maps in which Sheldon and Associates will utilize. Mr. Chave said after they study those maps, they will actually go out and do field spot checks to verify the accuracy of the maps. Councilmember Kasper said the maps Sheldon and Associates will be studying may show wetlands that do not even exist. Mr. Chave said that is why they will go and perform field checks, and said they will rely on several sources to gather correct data. Council President Palmer said the Scope of Work does not address the level of detail with regards to what the base maps will contain. Mr. Chave said two sources of information will be utilized: 1) Over all mapping which will give a quick reference, and; 2) Field Inventory Sheets for each particular site or feature. Mr. Chave said the Field Inventory Sheets will contain the more de- tailed information. Mr. Chave said the Field Inventory Sheet will not take the place of a wet- land delineation, but is intended to give people an idea of what is there so it can be determined if for instance, a wetland exists on a particular piece of property. Council President Palmer said he would feel more comfortable if the Scope of Work contained language explaining what the level of detail is, for example, the Field Inventory Sheets. Councilmember Nordquist inquired if the maps produced by Sheldon and Associates will be owned by the City at completion, and Mr. Chave replied affirmatively. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED TO AUTHORIZE THE CONTRACT WITH SHELDON AND ASSOCIATES WITH THE BALANCE OF THE FUNDS TO BE PLACED IN THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY FUND. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 2 July 21, 1992 The motion died for lack of second. Council President Palmer said until the level of detail is known with regards to the contents of the mapping process, the City can't be certain the $14,700 proposed allocation will cover the process. Councilmember Kasper said when the money comes in from Growth Management, the Council gets numer- ous requests for expenditures that have no detailed budget for. Councilmember Kasper said Staff is going up to the limit of the Contract without an estimate of what the actual costs are. Coun- cilmember Kasper said the Council should know what the original estimate for the Scope of Work is. Mr. Chave said he would provide additional information to the Council. COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO TABLE THE AUTHORIZATION TO CONTRACT WITH SHELDON AND ASSOCIATES FOR CRITICAL AREAS INVENTORY AND MAPPING, AND SEND IT BACK TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT SO THEY COULD PREPARE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO THE COUNCIL REGARDING AN ITEMIZED BUDGET. MOTION CARRIED. Council President Palmer said he would re -schedule the item for the July 28 Consent Agenda. Mayor Hall welcomed the new reporter from The Enterprise Newspaper, Ms. Kathy Tucker. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Jack Peugh, Vice President, Kiwanis Club of Lynnwood, asked the City Council to participate finan- cially, in establishing a house in Lynnwood which will be used to shelter up to eight teenage n e�J student mothers and their infant children while completing their educations at Scriber Lake High (h School. The amount requested from the City of Edmonds is $8,140. Mr. Peugh said the project has Q been undertaken by the Kiwanis Club of Lynnwood with the endorsement of South County Chamber of Commerce and the support of the Alderwood Rotary Club. When completed, operations of the house C will be managed by a foundation established by Lynnwood Kiwanis. Mr. Peugh stated the Edmonds School District will refer deserving students as tenants of the facility. The Mayor and Council thanked Mr. Peugh for his presentation. With no other member of the audience coming forward, Mayor Hall closed the audience portion of the meeting. HEARING ON PROPOSED ELIMINATION OF PARKING ON 76TH AVE. W., BETWEEN 218TH ST. S.W. AND 221ST ST., S.W. INCLUDING PHASES I & II Staff Report and Recommendation Bob Alberts, City Engineer, said the public hearing is to receive comments regarding the "No parking" limitations proposed for 76th Ave. W., in the vicinity of 220th St. S.W. Mr. Alberts said Gordy Hyde, Engineering Coordinator, will be making the presentation. Mr. Hyde presented several view foils to the Mayor and City Council which depicted the present parking situation, as well as the proposed elimination of parking on 76th Ave. W., between 218th St. S.W. and 221st.St., S.W. Mr. Hyde said in May, 1992, Staff proposed a phased elimination of on -street parking on 76th Ave. W., south of 220th St. S.W. to approximately 221st St. S.W., and northerly to 219th St. S.W. The second phase was to extend the "No Parking" northerly again on 76th Ave. W. to 218th St. S.W. Phase I would eliminate 13 parking spaces, while Phase II would eliminate an additional 9 parking spaces. Mr. Hyde said Phase II will have the largest impact on the local businesses. Additional parking could be made available by the City in the rights -of - way for 218th St. S.W. and 219th S.W., east of 76th Ave. W. It is the recommendation of Staff to eliminate parking in Phase I effective August 1, 1992, and Phase II effective February, 1, 1993. The time limit for Phase I would coincide with the signal improvement schedule for the 76th Ave. W. and 220th St. S.W. intersection. Mr. Hyde said extend- ing the time for eliminating parking for Phase ICI would provide sufficient notice to property owners to find alternative parking and time for the City to do some work in the rights -of -way for 218th St.W., and 218th St. S.W. Council President Palmer asked Mr. Hyde how sooncould the City move on providing additional parking on 219th, and 218th, should the proposed elimination of parking on 76th Ave. W. be author- ized. Mr. Hyde referred the question to Bob Alberts, City Engineer. Mr. Alberts said a work order could be acted on in a timely manner. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 3 July 21, 1992 Council President Palmer said if the Council approves the Staff recommendation, could Staff pro- vide signage at the conclusion of Phase I, notifying the public of the parking that would be eliminated during Phase II. Mr. Hyde replied affirmatively. Councilmember Petruzzi asked Mr. Hyde on the amount of parking spaces that could be created on 218th and 219th. Mr. Hyde said approximately 10-12. Public Testimony Allen Zend, owner of' the Medical Clinic at 21906 76th Ave. W., opposes the proposed elimination of parking for reasons including an already existing problem with parking for employers, employ- ees, and patients of the medical facility, as well as local residents. Mr. Zend presented a photograph to the City Clerk for routing to the Council which depicted the parking usage in the subject area. Mr. Zend also presented a petition to the City Clerk contain- ing approximately 40 signatures. The petition asked the City to consider the negative impact the proposed parking elimination would have on them, and proposed that the city balance its impact by first improving the side streets of 218th S.W. and 219th S.W. so as to accommodate the needs of the local citizenry. The Petition was marked Exhibit #2 by the City Clerk. Councilmember Hall asked Mr. Zend if he had any information as to the thoughts of citizens living on 218th and 219th, with regards to additional parking on their street. Mr. Zend said Top Foods is the only "resident" on 219th. Mr. Zend said he can't speak for anyone on 218th. Bob Bowles, owner of property at the S.E. corner of 220th and 76th, said there is one parking place south of his driveway, and if that is taken away, it will greatly hamper his ability to enter or exit his property. Mr. Bowles said the parking place acts as a buffer. Dr. Clark Vistad, part owner of the medical building located at 218th and 76th, opposes the pro- posed elimination of parking. Mr. Vistad said as it stands now, there is not enough parking for the employees and patients. Mr. Vistad said there are also numerous accidents on 76th Ave. W., and feels the Staff proposal would increase the safety hazards. Council Discussion and Deliberation Council President Palmer said although the traffic on 76th Ave. West is increasing, he believes any safety hazards are caused by the topography of the area. Council President Palmer said he would like to see the City move ahead in providing alternative parking spaces on 218th and 219th. According to the Staff report, much of the parking proposed to be eliminated could potentially be replaced. Councilmember Hall said he would like to see parking added before parking on 76th Ave. W. is eliminated. Councilmember Hall said he is concerned, however, that there may be residents who live on 218th and 219th who are not aware that the City is contemplating adding public parking on their street. As Councilmember Kasper had a question of City Engineer Bob Alberts, COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO SUSPEND THE RULES. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Kasper said Top Foods previously said they would work out problems of any reduced parking, and asked Mr. Alberts to address this. Mr. Alberts said Top Foods said they would work with the property owner at the corner if they could, however, to the best of his knowledge, noth- ing was able to be worked out. Council President Palmer said it is his understanding that the Top Food development does not go all the way back to the present fence on their property, and there may be some land potentially available for 'other purposes. Mr. Alberts said that could be pursued, after construction is complete on the Top Foods site. Councilmember Kasper said no action has taken place to relieve congestion on 76th since the free- way exit was added on 220th. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY, COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI, TO REINSTATE THE RULES. MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Earling said he is concerned with the residential zoning south of 220th. Councilmem- ber Earling said his opinion on why there aren't more residents showing up at hearings in this instance is because many of the homes are rental homes, and the property owner feels the renters CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 4 July 21, 1992 can cope with the reduced parking, and the renters probably feel if it gets too bad, they can simply move. Councilmember Earling said he hopes the City will consider the plight of the resi- dents south of 220th, and said he could not support the staff recommendation unless there is some consideration given with that regard. As the Council had further questions of Staff, COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL - MEMBER HALL, TO SUSPEND THE RULES. MOTION CARRIED.. Council had questions of Gordy Hyde, Engineering Coordinator, as to potential parking possibili- ties on 221st, as well as 218th and 219th Streets. Mr. Hyde said there are possibilities of add- ing parking south of 221st. It was the consensus of the Council to have Mr. Hyde look into the matter further. COUNCIL PRESIDENT PALMER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO REINSTATE THE RULES. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO ADOPT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION, WHEREBY ADOPTING ORDINANCE NO. 2895 FOR PHASE I WITH AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF AUGUST 1, 1992, AND ADOPTING ORDINANCE NO. 2896 FOR PHASE II, WITH AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF FEBRUARY 1, 1993. Under discussion, Councilmember Hall feels a "pre -phase" should be added which would in effect, add parking in certain areas before parking is eliminated in other areas. Councilmember Petruzzi said Staff has informed the Council that they could work on adding parking relatively quickly on 218th and 219th. Councilmember Petruzzi suggested amending the motion to reflect that the first phase would be to create additional parking on 218th and 219th, east of 76th, and the second phase would be the present Phase 1, and the third phase would be the present Phase 2. Council President Palmer asked if the proposed amendment includes potential parking up to 221st, and Councilmember Petruzzi replied affirmatively, and noted it would also give instructions to Staff that they maximize additional parking on 218th, 219th, and 221st. Council President Palmer asked if the effect of the amendment would make the first effective date to September 1, 1992 instead of August 1, 1992, and Councilmember Petruzzi responded affirmative- ly. Councilmember Dwyer suggested voting on the motion as it stands and then speak to the issue of changing the effective date. Councilmember Dwyer said if changing the effective date makes a difference, he would be in favor of changing it, however, if it doesn't make a difference, than there is no sense changing it. MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Dwyer, Council President Palmer, Councilmember Kasper, and Councilmember Petruzzi voting yes, and Councilmember Earling, Councilmember Hall, and Councilmem- ber Nordquist voting no. As there was a question on the effective date of August 1, 1992, versus September 1, 1992, Coun- cilmember Dwyer asked Mr. Alberts on the situation regarding time frame involved in the signalization. Mr. Alberts said stretching the effective date 30 days would be the maximum amount of time it should be lengthened, but felt it would not pose a problem. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETRUZZI TO CHANGE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE MOTION PREVIOUSLY PASSED BY THE COUNCIL, TO SEPTEMBER 1, 1992 RATHER THAN AUGUST 1, 1992. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO DIRECT STAFF TO EXPLORE THE POSSI- BILITY OF PUTTING PARKING ON 221ST, BUT THAT ELIMINATION OF THE PARKING SOUTH OF 220TH IS NOT CONTINGENT ON BEING ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY PUT PARKING ON 221ST. MOTION CARRIED. PRESENTATION ON MOSQUITO FLEET BY MARTY BEHR Marty Behr, President of the Mosquito Fleet, a private ferry fleet, addressed the Mayor and Coun- cil regarding his ideas and future operational plans to shuttle commuters to Seattle from Ever- ett, Mukilteo, Edmonds, and Whidbey Island. Mr. Behr presented view foils to the Mayor and Council, which outlined the future operational plans. Mr. Behr said Mosquito Fleet Enterprises was founded in 1989, and proceeded to give a history of the company. Mr. Behr's presentation included information regarding the projected number of ferry commuters in 1995, as well as a 1995 Proposed Ferry Schedule. Mr. Behr said Mos- quito Fleet Enterprises would offer convenient transit service by catamaran below the cost of an automobile commute by 1995. Mr. Behr asked the Council for a letter showing support for his plan, and presented a Resolution prepared by the Snohomish County Committee for Improved Transportation. Mr. Behr said the Resolu- tion could be used for reference in drafting of a letter of support. City Clerk Rhonda March marked the Resolution Exhibit 1. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Paae 5 July 91. 1QQ? ED RESOLUTI RESOLUT ADOPT THE R THE TIONS OF THE IONS OF THE NING BOARD AND DENY A REQUEST TO ING BOARD AND DENY A The above two items were removed from agenda, as the Council directed Staff to schedule them for a public hearing, versus the Staff recommendation. Planning Manager Rob Chave said according to the Code, the Council is to review the information and if the Council concurs, approve the pro- posed resolution. Mr. Chave said if the Council does not agree, they would .then direct Staff to schedule a public hearing. Councilmember Dwyer said this process has never been used, and stated a public hearing has always been scheduled. Councilmember Dwyer asked Mr. Chave why this process is now being used. Mr. Chave said Staff feels that if there is no controversy, it wouldn't need to go through a hearing pro- cess. Councilmember Dwyer asked if the applicant has had a chance to speak to the Council, and Mr. Chave replied negatively. Councilmember Dwyer said he doesn't like the process of placing proposed resolutions on the agenda for Council approval or disapproval on these type of issues. Councilmember Dwyer said the applicant should have the opportunity to come before the Council. Council President Palmer said originally the items appeared on the Consent Agenda, however, he moved them onto the regular agenda for discussion. Council President Palmer said it will be his policy, as long as he is Council President•,that no recommendations from the Planning Board will go directly to the Consent Agenda. Council President Palmer said in the future, items like this will proceed directly to a public hearing. Mr. Chave said if that is the desire of the Council, then the Council should change the Code. Mr. Chave said part of the problem is the current planning staff is not aware of what the past histo- ry is with regards to these type of items.. Councilmember Dwyer said the people involved in the subject issues have been inconvenienced in this process. It was noted that one of the applicants present in the audience flew in from Oklaho- ma City just for this issue. COUNCILMEMBER EARLING MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST, TO DIRECT THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT SET AUGUST 18 AS THE HEARING DATE FOR THE SUBJECT ITEMS. MOTION CARRIED.

Council President Palmer said he is very supportive of the Community Services Director position being filled, as recommended by the Mayor, however, scheduled it for full Council review on the August 4, 1992 Agenda. The Council discussed scheduling 1993 budget discussions in the near future. The following guide- lines and dates were set: The Salary Review Committee will come forth with a report at the August 25 Council Meeting. It was also noted one hour would be allocated on August 25 for a pre -budget discussion.

I The discussion of Fire Consolidation was moved from the Council Committee Meeting of August 14 to September 8. Councilmember Hall noted he would be on vacation for the next two weeks. Councilmember Hall ex- pressed his concern over the parking situation in Edmonds. Councilmember Hall discussed the possi- bility of having parking zones, where individuals could obtain a parking permit which would allow them to park beyond the three hour limit. City Clerk Rhonda March said she would look into the matter. Councilmember Nordquist said recent discussions at the Health District have included new require- ments that will be set forth by the Department of Ecology on street sweeping. Councilmember Nord- quist said the Department of Ecology is now statinglthat street sweeping contains heavy metals.
