Chief Prinz said Mark's specialized training in- cludes accident reconstruction and `investigation, as well as a member of the South Snohomish County SWAT Team, and SWAT Team instructor. Mayor Hall presented Mark Marsh with the promotional certificate and badge and congratulated him on his achievement. HEARING ON "TASTE OF EDMONDS" COMMUNITY EVENT Presentation by Dorothy Williamson, citizen, and spokesperson for citizens who signed petition to reclocate the Taste of Edmonds. Dorothy Williamson, 703 Main Street, referenced a petition in Council packets which requests the Taste of Edmonds be relocated. Ms. Williamson feels the City of Edmonds is violating their own laws for permitting the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages on city managed properties. Ms. Williams said the "Taste" invades the privacy of citizens who live in the immediate area in which it is held. Ms. Williamson said in a recent meeting with the Chamber of Commerce, her group suggested several locations in which the Taste can be held. Ms. Williamson said the next Taste belongs in a commercial location, not in a residential location. Ms. Williamson said it is time the Mayor and Council accept responsibility for the event. Representative from the Chamber of Commerce, Stan Dickison Mr. Dickison said he would like to address the problems that have been expressed by the citizens. Mr. Dickison said the Chamber of Commerce has been charged with giving Edmonds a bad name. Mr. Dickison said all of the Chamber members either work live, or own property in Edmonds, and are very concerned about the welfare of the city. Mr. Dickison suggested several changes to satisfy most of the concerns addressed by the neighbors. The suggestions include an additional group to come in an pick up garbage immediately following the event and widen the area of garbage pickup. Mr. Dickison said the Chamber has always contracted with either the Boys and Girls Club.or the Youth Club for garbage pick up services. Mr. Dickison said in this way, the clubs earn money to fund their programs. Mr. Dickison said other proposed changes are to limit the amount of alcohol one person can order, provide a greater variety of music, so a greater variety of people will attend, lower the volume of the music, and increase the number of sani-cans. Mr. Dickison said as the majority of the complaints come from the beer garden, the general tenure of the beer gar- den will be changed. Mr. Dickison said the blow up beer bottles will be removed, and the decora- tions in the beer garden toned down, as well as imposing a dress code on patrons entering the beer garden. Mr. Dickison said the profit that the Chamber receives from the Taste of Edmonds funds community events such as the Fourth of July Celebration, Christmas Tree Lighting, Miss Edmonds Scholarship Pageant, and funding for the Edmonds Visitors' Bureau. Mr. Dickison addressed the suggested relocation sites for the Taste. Mr. Dickison said the most feasible site suggested by Ms. Williamson was the Main Street site. However, Mr. Dickison said this moves the event only three blocks from where it is now, which would not alleviate noise and traffic problems. Mr. Dickison said he has talked with neighbors in the immediate area of the Taste who have expressed support for the Taste in the present location, but who agree, that changes need to be made. Public Testimony Kathy Stojkovic, 302 7th Ave. North, said her home is immediately adjacent to the Taste. Ms. Stojkovic said her family thoroughly enjoys the Taste of Edmonds and supports the present loca- tion, however, said the biggest problem is the beer garden. Ms. Stojkovic said she sees very intoxicated people leaving the beer garden and getting in their cars to drive. Ms. Stojkovic said many of the beer garden patrons leave the beer garden only to attend the local taverns where they continue to drink. Ms. Stojkovic said there have been many fist fights on her front lawn and many abuses of her property have occurred. Ms. Stojkovic said the beer garden should be the main focus of change. Keith Leasure, 201 3rd Ave. North, #104, Edmonds, said his home is three blocks north of the event. Mr. Leasure said his family cannot use the outdoor patio during the event due to the exces- sive noise, nor can they concentrate on reading a book inside the house with the windows closed. Mr. Leasure said the noise levels are far to loud and said the drinking is out of control. Mr. Leasure said the City Council should not allow the Taste of Edmonds to continue at the present location. Bill Shanks, 190 W. Dayton, #201, owner/operator of Seattle Style Restaurant, said he has been a vendor at the Taste of Edmonds for eight of the ten years it has existed. Mr. Shanks feels it is a great event and feels the community can work out a compromise which would satisfy everyone. Mr. Shanks said the original intent behind the Taste was to benefit the community, and has grown over the years because of the success.. Mr. Shanks said there are hundreds of people who donate their time to work on the Taste of Edmonds to make it successful. Mr. Shanks supports the present loca- tion. Mr. Shanks suggested the beer garden close down at 9:00 p.m., and that other forms of reve- nue be discussed in areas other than alcohol sales. David Page, i1005 Carol Way, said his company gave away approximately 6000 balloons -to children at the Taste of Edmonds. Mr. Page said the families who received the balloons are a separate crowd from the people attending the beer garden. Mr. Page feels the Taste of Edmonds is a great event, and suggested increasing other aspects of the Taste such as increased arts and crafts booth. Mr. Page said the people in the beer garden who did not act properly were for the most part only there for the beer, and not patronizing the other aspects of the Taste. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 2 September 29, 1992 Nick Stojkovic, 302 7th Ave. North, immediately adjacent to the Taste, said most of the people who cause problems in the beer garden are the younger people who are there only for the beer garden. Mr. Stojkovic said most of the problems occur at night time when the young beer patrons move on to the neighborhood taverns after the beer garden closes. Mr. Stojkovic said he has no other complaints regarding the Taste other than the excessive drinking. Madeline Peterson, 655 Main Street, expressed concern over sanitation problems. Ms. Peterson asked where the food both employees wash their hands. It was noted that the Health Department regulates and enforces all rules and regulations pertaining to health issues, and that each food both is required to have hand washing facilities. Sandra Forest, 628 Daily, #1, immediately adjacent to the Taste, said her family enjoys the Taste of Edmonds, however, feels the Taste was too big this year and has gotten out of contraol. Ms. Forest said young people in their early 20's who patronize the beer garden are the biggest prob- lem. Ms. Forest feels more emphasis should be placed on a family atmosphere. Ron Gard, citizen of Edmonds, said his family quit going to the Taste two years ago due to the excessive drinking, loud noise, and traffic. Mr. Gard said the City needs to address the drink- ing problem as he feels somebody in the near future is going to be killed. Mr. Gard recommended relocating the Taste of Edmonds to Aurora Village. —Virginia Zeals, 607 Daley, said only a few of Edmonds' restaurants are represented in the.Taste of Edmonds, and feels it is no longer the Taste of Edmonds. Ms. Zeals said her biggest concern is having the beer garden on public property. Ms. Zeal said it is sending a mixed message kids when profits from the alcohol sales are used to fund childrens activities. As no other member of the audience wished to speak, Mayor Hall closed the audience portion of the hearing. Mayor and Council Discussion Mayor Hall referenced a three page letter from citizen Bob Linden, in which Mr. Linden expresses concerns relating to the Taste. Mayor Hall referenced a citizen letter from Dr. Vansitter, in which he expressed negative feed- back regarding the Taste. Mayor Hall talked about the success of the beer garden in the recently held Octoberfest. Mayor Hall said she feels the City can have a successful beer garden during Taste of Edmonds also. Mayor Hall said the hours, the makeup of the music, and rules must be established in order to make it successful. Council President Palmer said the City Attorney has addressed a memo to the Council regarding the issue of alcoholic sale and consumption on public property, and asked Mr. Snyder to express the contents. Mr. Snyder said a City Council has almost absolute authority to determine the appropri- ate use of public property. Mr. Snyder referenced the sale of alcohol in the King Dome, Washing- ton Trade Convention Center, etc. Mr. Snyder said as a legal matter, the City has the authority to establish rules for the use of public property which includes the ability to sell alcohol subject to the requirements set by the Washington State Liquor Control Board. Council President Palmer said it is clear to him that the Taste of Edmonds is a community event and strengthens the City and community through the programs it is able to fund as a result of holding the three day event. Council President Palmer said the City has very few ways to fund the services in which the community demands. The two major funding sources are either the retail sales tax or property tax. Council President Palmer said the City of Edmonds has extremely low property taxes in relationship to other communities the same size. Council President Palmer said this is partially due to a healthy retail tax base. Council President Palmer said the bottom line is the Taste of Edmonds brings back return customers to the City and keeps an economic base which is healthy, therefore keeping the taxes low. Council President Palmer said there are a lot of good ideas on how the Taste can be improved the next year, and said the Council will expect to see many of these improvements mentioned in any contract that comes before the Council for next year's Taste of Edmonds. Councilmember Earling said as a co-founder of the Taste of Edmonds, he feels the concerns brought forth by th neighbors provide positive input. Councilmember Earling said the Chamber is part of the communi y, and said they want the Taste to be a positive force in the community, and have expressed willingness to listen to. the concerns of neighbors and incorporate those concerns into a successful Taste. Councilmember Earling said the Taste provides a great economic base for the community. Councilmember Earling said it is his hope that when the contract comes before the Council next summer, it will show that the. -neighbors and the Chamber are both willing to work together. Councilmember Earling said the event has become too successful for the community to toss it away. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 3 September 29, 1992 Councilmember Dwyer said he is unconvinced that there is no possible alternative site to the present one. Councilmember Dwyer acknowledged the problems associated with the beer garden and said he does not know what he will do when the contract comes before the Council next summer. Councilmember Dwyer said in large part, what he will do depends on his view of what efforts will be made to try and address the problems brought forth by the citizens. Councilmember Dwyer said he believes 90% of the problems are are associated with the beer garden. Councilmember Dwyer said he believes the concerns of the citizens are very reasonable and feels it is reasonable that they expect the Council to address the problems rather than the Chamber. Councilmember Nordquist said he appreciates the efforts that have been made on behalf of Ms. Williamson's group as well as the Chamber. Councilmember Nordquist said he recently attended the Taste of Chicago and said he is impressed .in what Chicago does is about three miles, the City of Edmonds does in a couple of blocks. Councilmember Nordquist said he feels the City could explore the possibility of spreading some of the events of the Taste throughout the City. Councilmember Kasper feels the Taste has become too big. Councilmember Kasper said although the Taste gets bigger and bigger every year, Edmonds does not. Councilmember Kasper said when the City entered its Centennial Year, everything expanded, including the Taste. Councilmember Kasper said he feels now, the City must contract. Councilmember Kasper said the music needs to be var- ied so the crowd changes. Council President Palmer said the Chamber will be working with the Mayor's office when contract times draws near for the Taste, and asked the Mayor to notify the Council so he can place contin- ued discussion on the Extended Agenda. Mayor Hall concurred. Mayor Hall thanked the audience for their.participation. At 8:32 p.m, Mayor Hall and Councilmembers recessed for a two minute break and reconvened at 8:34 p.m. STATUS REPORT BY "MAKERS" ON WATERFRONT STUDY AND UPDATE ON GMA PLANNING ACTIVITIES pW Rob Chave, Planning Manager, introduced Ben Frerichs of Apogee Research, who updated the Council 10— on the progress of the Downtown/Waterfront Study. Mr. Freirchs said his firm has completed a substantial amount of research. Mr. Freirchs said the C.J early part of the study has focused on the importance of the ferry dock to the citizens as well as the business community and the City. The results of the research will be discussed and re- vealed on October 14, 1992 in an open public meeting. At that meeting, discussion will take place on the three ferry dock location options. Regarding the Economic Analysis, Mr. Freirchs said only preliminary results are known at this time. Mr. Freirchs said his firm has sent out 442 surveys to the business community who have addressed in the downtown area, and businesses along SR 104, and have received approximately 50% back at this time. Mr. Freirchs said his firm has also re- cently met with a group of these businesses and discussed their challenges and opportunities. Preliminary results indicate that a fair number of the businesses located in Edmonds are here for reasons including a general "likeness" for the area. Councilmember Earling said he wants to make sure that feedback is received from other communities where major infrastructure changes have taken place. Mr. Frerich concurred. Councilmember Kasper asked Mr. Freirchs if he will be able to ascertain what the impacts will be if an underpass or overpass is placed at Main Street, or in the Dayton area, including costs. Mr. Freirchs said his firm will do as much as possible to quantify what Councilmember Kasper is asking, and said the economics and cost dimension of the alternatives will be in the final report. Councilmember Hall said another issue to look at is the aesthetic impact. Councilmember Hall said it might be that people shop in Edmonds because they like to walk down the streets and see the ferry. Councilmember Hall said it might be interesting to talk with people outside the community to ask them what brings them to Edmonds. Rob Chave, Planning Manager, said the next phase will include some of the aesthetic considera- tions. Mr. Chave said the focus of the public meeting of October 14 will be on the water- front/downtown plan. Mr. Chave said the meeting will be held in the Library Plaza Room. Mr. Chave said there are a number of other plans in the works, including the Parks and Open Space Plan. Mr. Chave said these various elements will come through the Council one at a time, however, said before they can be formally adopted under the Growth Management Act, 'each will have to be examined one at a time, but rather than adopt them piece meal, the City will have to take a com- prehensive second look at them to make sure they dovetail together. Mr. Chave said there will be A series of public meetings through next Spring followed by formal hearings. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 4 September 29, 1992 Mr. Frerichs said the final report will contain a tabular presentation which will include both numbers and aesthetic considerations. Council President Palmer referenced a recent article in the Enterprise which indicates the feasi- bility of docking the 1001 foot U.S.S. Midway would be examined in the Waterfront Study now under- way. Council President Palmer clarified that the Scope of Work authorized by the City Council does not include that as being part of the study. Mr. Chave concurred and said Staff has not re- ceived that sort of direction. Mayor, Hall said it was her hopes that it would be included as part of the Study, and asked Mr. Chave to give it a cursory glance. PRESENTATION AND REVIEW OF DRAFT SNOHOMISH COUNTY MODERATE RISK WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN Steve Goldstein, Project Manager for the Snohomish County Solid Waste Management Division, gave a presentation to the Mayor and Council on the Moderate Risk Waste Management Plan for Snohomish S County. The main purpose of the plan is to reduce the amount ofmoderate risk waste generated by households and businesses; and, to provide a means for collecting and properly disposing of these c,0 2i5 (_ wastes. This is a joint plan for Snohomish County and the cities within the County as required by ri,�p� • the Department of Ecology. Mr. Goldstein asked for Council feedback regarding the City's position ask or any concerns about the plan. Mr. Goldstein said once this is done, a joint resolution to adopt vi the plan will be prepared for the Council's consent. Mr. Goldstein reviewed with the Council, the Snohomish County Draft Moderate Risk Waste Plan Program Priorities, Costs, and Impacts, as shown on a chart within the Agenda packet information. Mr. Goldstein said all of these programs would (vy be paid for by the Solid Waste TIP fee. Mr. Goldstein said the County Council has asked him to stress to the City Council that every year.the County Council will be looking at all the activi- ties of the Solid Waste Management Division, including the Moderate Risk Waste Activities, and they will be keeping an eye on the TIP fee, as they do not want it rising more than it has to. As far as costs, Mr. Goldstein said the County spends just under $690,000 a year on the activities, which calculates to $2.42 a ton on a TIP fee, which means that for every ton of solid waste that is being disposed of, which costs $79.00, $2.42 goes to support the Moderate Waste Risk Program. Mr. Goldstein said those costs will slightly increase beginning next year. Council discussion and deliberation Councilmember Hall said he attended a previous Solid Waste Committee meeting, and it was noted that a major concern was that a lot of items that were previously disposed of via the Solid Waste sites were now being recycled, which meant the Solid Waste Management System had to charge a higher amount because they weren't getting as much solid waste items. Council President Palmer expressed concern over the tipping fee, as he feels it may not truly reflect.a proportional share for a community such as the size of Edmonds. Council President Palm- er suggested imposing a surcharge on those products that fall under the category of Moderate Risk Waste. In doing so, Council President Palmer said it would be a more direct approach as those people who use products that fall under Moderate Risk Waste would pay the price, and not the people who do not use the products which follow under that category. Council President Palmer questioned the Snohomish County Health District as the enforcing agency, and said he is concerned because reports from the Health District state that they have neither the funds or the staff to do any enforcement on this issue. Council President Palmer said the proposed cost of $55,000 for 1 full time employee seems exorbitant to him, and asked Mr. Goldstein to comment. Mr. Goldstein said this should reflect 1.5 employees for the cost of $55,000, and said he budgeted this figure high, so there would be no surprises down the line. Mr. Goldstein said he sees no problem with the Health District as being the enforcement agency. Mr. Goldstein gave the City Clerk copies of a proposed resolution for distribution to the Mayor and Council. AUTHORIZATION TO NEGOTIATE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH MERITT&PARDINI FOR DESIGN OF THE PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY �fG�Gss1G"" Noel Miller, Public Works Superintendent, said on September 14, 1992, the City Council approved ordinances raising the water and utility taxes sufficiently to fund the new Public Works Opera- �"' C ,E.,/ tions and Maintenance Facility for $3.6 million. The firm of Merritt & Pardini was selected in 1991 to provide the architectural design services for the project. A predesign report .was subse- quently developed in March of 1992 to identify space needs, possible building configurations and projects costs. Mr. Miller asked the Council for input on the scope of work and for authoriza- tion to proceed with contract negotiations with Merritt & Pardini. Councilmember Kasper said he would like to get into the public hearing process im the near fu- ture. Councilmember Kasper said he feels the project can be designed to 212th instead of being designed to be an internal project for screening. Councilmember Kasper feels the Administration Building and Service Building should buffer the residential area. Councilmember Kasper feels the design can be flipped on the property. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED MINUTES Page 5 September 29, 1992 As far as schematics, Mr. Pardini and Noel Miller, Public Works Superintendent said this will be addressed in the schematic design phase, as this is simply a request for authorization to negoti- ate a professional services contract for the design of .the Public Works Facility. COUNCILMEMBER NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER HALL, TO AUTHORIZE TO NEGOTIATE A PROFES- SIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT. WITH MERRITT & PARDINI FOR THE DESIGN OF THE PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY.

MOTION CARRIED with Councilmember Kasper abstaining. AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN AGREEMENT WITH KROLL MAP COMPANY FOR AUTOCAD BASE MAPPING 8,595 AND APPROPRIATION OF ADDITIONAL FUNDS 4,095 Item E on the Consent A enda Council President Palmer asked for a clarification on the City's option to map the Esperance and Perrinville areas, and whether a fixed fee was identified or was included in the amount. Council President Palmer asked why that option has to be exercised by the City by December of this year. dob Alberts, City Engineer, said it is not included in the initial agreement, however, the City has the option of including the two areas prior to December of 1993, not 1992, as listed on the Agenda Memo cover sheet. COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER EARLING, TO AUTHOR- IZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT WITH KROLL MAP COMPANY FOR AUTOCAD BASE MAPPING IN THE AMOUNT OF $8,595 and APPROPRIATE ADDITIONAL FUNDS OF $4,095. MOTION CARRIED. AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH SNOHOMISH COUNTY Item F on the Consent Agenda) Councilmember Earling asked Mr. Alberts if the City is going to be implementing some sort of policy regarding Transportation Demand Issues. Mr. Alberts replied affirmatively, and said there is questionnaire for City employees regarding the mode of transportation they use to get to work. Councilmember Earling asked Mr. Alberts to provide him with the information when it is finalized, and Mr. Alberts replied affirmatively. Councilmember Earling feels the City should be part of the process as the City employees apprxomately 200 people. Councilmember Kasper said many city employees come to work at the same time, and feels the Trans- portation Demand Management system should be honored within the city. Councilmember Dwyer said the City has a situation where essentially, Stevens Hospital is not a private employer, but falls under TDM guidelines. and said philosophically, should the City be imposing TOM guidelines on the hospital, if the City is not required to do the same. As a procedural matter, at 10:00 p.m., COUNCILMEMBER KASPER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER TO EXTEND THE MEETING TEN MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Alberts said the hospital is aware of the law and the requirements and the City is in contact with hospital staff. Mr. Alberts said there are upcoming meetings regarding Transportation Demand Management, in which representatives from the City of Edmonds will attend. COUNCILMEMBER DWYER MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KASPER, TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN TRANS- PORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH SNOHOMISH COUNTY. Under discussion, Councilmember Kasper said the City does have to address zoning issues, in par- ticular along Highway 99. Councilmember Kasper said governmental agencies are buying retail property for parking lots, which will leave the City with no highway frontage. MOTION CARRIED.
