item F.
A. Authorization for Mayor to sign a $67,112.90 grant from the State through the Salmon
Recovery Board (SRFB) and the Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) for a limited
feasibility study for the day lighting of Willow Creek from the Edmonds Marsh to Puget
Sound.
Ms. Hite explained that People for Puget Sound is no longer in operation and that a sponsor was
needed to manage the completion of the study to day light Willow Creek from the Edmonds
Marsh to Puget Sound.
ACTION: Moved to Consent Agenda for approval.
B. Report on final construction cost for the Relocation of Private Electrical Services for the
Main Street Improvements (5t" Ave — 6t" Ave) and acceptance of project.
Mr. English provided a summary of the work completed under the relocation of private electrical
services on Main St. for the Main St. Improvement project between 5t" and 6t" Avenues.
ACTION: Moved to Consent Agenda for approval.
C. Presentation from staff regarding Council communication of City plans to the PSRC and
other relevant agencies.
City Council asked questions about perceived discrepancies in the PSRC 2040 Transportation
Plan as it relates to Edmonds Crossing. City staff responded that Page 56 contains a broad
overview about ferry terminals and what they might cost while Page 80 references the term un-
programmed which means that the project has not been included in the 2040 Transportation
Plan financial strategy. This is, however, $26M budgeted which assumes a bare bones
maintenance and preservation budget. The long term needs related to Edmonds Crossing and
existing terminal needs to be clarified with WSDOT and Washington State Ferries. PSRC wants
to hear from the City and WSDOT/WSF what these agencies think is going to happen in the
future and they will be talking to agencies in January, 2013.
Questions were asked about the PSRC Board and how people are appointed or chosen to serve
on the board. City staff stated they would need to look into this issue.
